DM: Let’s see, y’all continued from, zoom into the map here, y’all continued from Crumbleton
Aeryndel: you
Shain: Welcome, Clanker 2.
Aragorn: podcast.
Solvar: you
Aragorn: Yeah.
Aragorn: Bye.
DM: heading down towards Sunder, at least that’s your final destination.
Shain: Doctrine?
Shain: Final Destination?
DM: guys went through Gorge Bottom for a quick brief time.
Shain: I can’t believe it’s raining.
Caitlin: you
DM: It was raining at night when you arrived,
DM: so you hopped in, went to the biggest place that you could find, which happened to be the
Aragorn: you
Shain: Bye.
DM: blacksmith that Dragon wanted to meet, looked around, Dragon did some crafting,
DM: bought some materials from him, and proceeded to leave.
DM: You guys continued at night from
DM: Gorge Bottom, heading towards Breaker.
DM: You were keeping an eye out for the…
Caitlin: Oh, okay.
DM: It’s been called by multiple different names, but essentially the wraiths that you guys had
Shain: I love you, Noah.
DM: been seeing.
DM: And as you continued, you saw it, so you quickly stopped and took a long rest.
DM: Love you too.
Shain: Where’s here?
DM: You guys are about here at the moment, a little bit outside of Gorge Bottom, not necessarily
Shain: Okay, okay.
Shain: Okay.
DM: halfway yet.
DM: As you wake up, it is still raining.
Shain: Yes!
DM: It is not necessarily a heavy downpour, but it most certainly is still raining.
Shain: Oh!
Shain: We got rain!
Shain: We have rain!
DM: It’s definitely enough to keep going, so I presume you guys just want to hop on the cart
Shain: Train looks in the sky, rain, rain, rain, yes, yeah, yes, anyways, I’ll do the, I think
Caitlin: Oh my god, no flex looks up and hits the fucking the dog
DM: All right, we can keep going.
Aragorn: He looks up like Vegeta going fucking Super Saiyan Red, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
DM: Okay.
Caitlin: Yeah.
Caitlin: Okay.
Shain: What is this, Sukuna, like, pulled his hair back in the intro and, like, looked at the ceiling?
Shain: And he’s like,
Shain: HA!
Shain: THIS PLACE IS INFESTED WITH WOMEN AND CHILDREN!
DM: It’s just an actual dog.
Shain: HA HA HA!
Shain: He’ll do that.
Aragorn: It’s an actual dog that’s on the side of the road.
Shain: Heh heh heh heh.
Shain: Anyways, I’ll, uh, I’ll…
Caitlin: What am I getting haste too big with again?
Shain: I’m gonna haste to the Haunts Nate Creatics beat, because we can.
DM: No, no, you’re coming from the gorge bottom.
Shain: Power of teamwork, and Netheree’s bloodline.
Shain: The Haunts, your divine horse of ritual casting.
Aragorn: You should have hasted the dog.
Caitlin: What did I miss?
Caitlin: Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
Shain: Harold!
Caitlin: We’re beating this in the submission.
Shain: George Bottom!
Caitlin: Where are we going again?
Aeryndel: I think, for the most part, it’s stopped.
Caitlin: Heading towards what’s it called now, right?
Caitlin: Heading towards Thunder.
Shain: No.
Aragorn: Do we plan on staying in Sunder?
Caitlin: Oh, George Bottom?
Shain: I don’t see George.
DM: You’re heading towards…
Caitlin: Yeah, we’re going to Thunder, correct?
DM: You wanted to go to Sunder.
DM: Yes.
Caitlin: Yeah.
DM: you
Shain: Oh, George Bottom right there.
Shain: That’s where it is.
Shain: Okay.
Caitlin: All right.
Shain: Okay, so I thought we were gonna get you back to your kingdom I
Aragorn: I can’t remember what group consensus was.
Aragorn: You’re right, but I didn’t I didn’t know if we were stopping anywhere in between
Shain: Guess yeah, I have
Aeryndel: for essentials like if we need stuff but try not to stay for too long because we are trying to
Caitlin: Yes, you said something about
Aeryndel: trying to get back to because we don’t know the you know we don’t know what’s happening
Shain: We don’t know the people
Aeryndel: with your kingdom at the moment
DM: Well, currently the reason you guys are heading to Sunder is two-fold.
Shain: Yeah, it’s been about what
Aragorn: You know that you’re so right
Shain: you
DM: One, you asked the guy in Crumbleton if there was anything of like trophies or anything.
Aragorn: Was it Sunder or was it the closest one?
DM: And he said he thinks there’s a large sword and a stone in Sunder.
DM: You guys are like, alright, cool, let’s head there.
DM: And secondly, because, uh, oh, yeah, yeah, the Sunder, what he said is that the strongest
Caitlin: what’s it called he said something about like challenge right like it was the
Caitlin: like the strongest could wield it or some bullshit like that I’m not tweaking
Caitlin: right
Caitlin: no no it was Sunder it was Sunder because I asked about if they had any
Caitlin: like weapons or anything that were tied to like the strongest and they were like
Shain: I hear you’re pretty strung out.
Aragorn: You
Caitlin: go to Sunder we have like the
Caitlin: Okay, I heard, okay.
DM: an old king had a sword that he rested in a stone there and so he said to go there.
DM: You guys decided that even if that was pointless you still need to go to Sunder anyway because
DM: your plan to go up through Everedge Hill to back to Judicar would require you to
Caitlin: Did we ever get the, um, did we ever get the update on how long we were actually in there?
DM: go through this area anyway so you’re just heading in the right direction regardless.
Shain: Oh
Aragorn: you
Shain: How did wait, I’ll try to remember how we got all it oh, I never mind I remember
Shain: Felt like we skipped time, bro
DM: You did.
DM: I mean, you guys were knocked unconscious and blown by a dragon for a couple days.
Shain: That’s true anyways
DM: You did not.
DM: Mainly because, A, nobody here has the calendar or dates to even care about.
Shain: Oh, let me actually check my canister for that real quick.
Shain: One second.
DM: Oh, it doesn’t tell you the, the, the, the, you know what, um, yeah, neither of you would
Shain: You learn the current time of day.
Shain: Nevermind I can’t.
Aeryndel: So I’m trying to tell what time it is.
Shain: Nevermind, it’s just the current time of day, that sucks.
Shain: I should have put that in there, meh, whatever.
Caitlin: Butter, can I make a time check?
Aragorn: Three, sharp.
DM: really be able to, but Arendelle probably could at night by using the stars to see kind
Caitlin: Ha ha, hippie.
DM: of, if you want, yeah, so it makes sense from your military history that you would have,
Aeryndel: So how many days have gone by?
Shain: How many days have gone by, I guess,
Shain: since we’ve been in the cave?
Caitlin: We know at minimum, we know at minimum two days have passed, because we had the night
Shain: Silence.
Caitlin: in the Centaur place, and then the night that we’re in right now.
Aragorn: Silence.
Aeryndel: Okay Butter, how about this?
DM: you’d be pretty decent at navigating with the stars.
DM: So you would kind of know what stars are
DM: around for different parts of the year.
Aeryndel: Is there a way I can remember the night where we got kidnapped versus today to see the difference?
DM: I’ll let you do a history check.
Caitlin: You
Shain: We’re on the Hans carriage right now, aren’t we?
DM: I do believe so, but he would have done this check, he would have done this check pre-long
Aeryndel: Let me get my dice out.
Shain: I will win.
Aeryndel: And we’ve had a good long rest, right?
Aeryndel: Probably.
Shain: That’s how you roll on the d100 table, Noah.
Aeryndel: Let’s see.
Aeryndel: Features.
Aeryndel: Yeah, yeah, I still got my luckies and my shits.
DM: But you still had a luck if I remember correctly.
Shain: Why can’t I…?
Caitlin: The fucker hit him with the fucker looting on the shitload of deviant.
Aeryndel: Let’s see this shit.
Aragorn: He died, Shane died.
Shain: It keeps rolling a one?
Aeryndel: History check.
Aeryndel: of history, so let’s see.
Shain: Why?
Shain: Okay, fine, I gave up.
Shain: No, no, I have to roll on the D100 table again.
Caitlin: Phlox quit the campaign.
DM: Complex Maths, 26, you rolled a 26, Doc?
Caitlin: He left.
Caitlin: Nope.
Caitlin: Well, um.
Caitlin: Chain dies.
Shain: Well, it happens.
Caitlin: It’s been nice knowing you Phlox.
Caitlin: Nope, well, um, Shane Dyes.
Caitlin: It’s been nice knowing you folks.
Caitlin: It was an honor.
Shain: Honestly, good riddance.
Aeryndel: 26.
Shain: Thank you very much.
Aeryndel: 12 plus 9 plus 5.
DM: All right, yeah.
Aeryndel: I got a plus 9 to my history.
Caitlin: I’m…
DM: You remember the stars pretty darn well.
DM: And so you realize that not very much time passed overall.
Caitlin: My assumption is like a day, like two days.
Aeryndel: If I had to give an estimate of how many days it’s been since we left you Dakar to Laos, 3 days?
Aeryndel: 4 days?
DM: It’s been, from the date that you left Judicar, it has been, I can do math, okay, so that
Shain: That was a good sleep, we don’t need long masks anymore.
Aeryndel: Well, not the day we left Judicar, the day we got kidnapped in Intellectia.
DM: is you you you got kidnapped on the 29th okay um it is now the 36th
Aeryndel: So it’s been a week.
Caitlin: So we weren’t there for
DM: in about a week
Caitlin: So we were even so what we were unconscious for five days
Caitlin: Jesus fuck
Aragorn: Yeah.
DM: well then again look at the map you guys flew very far like that’s almost the same amount of
Caitlin: Oh, yeah good now, right
Shain: Eric.
Aeryndel: I’ll relay that to the information of the party if they’re asking, if they’re asking
DM: distance as between like the corner of a continent almost and it took you three
DM: months to come from Bral Nodda to Discernia.
DM: So that dragon was cloaking it.
Aeryndel: how many days it’s been.
DM: For the record to Aragorn and Dwagon both of you guys are clocking that it
Aragorn: Oh, hey, try and give me a kiss.
Shain: Me and Nate are just completely oblivious to all, like, calendar dates of this year.
DM: is stinking New Year’s, uh, the New Year’s Eve.
Aeryndel: I’m just gonna ask, we’re in a carriage, right?
DM: So, you guys about to roll over into
DM: the good ol’ year 801.
Aragorn: New Year’s kiss.
DM: Y’all are like, uh, do you remember 36th?
Caitlin: So like this is cool.
Shain: Yeah.
DM: Okay, and?
Aeryndel: Going to our destination?
DM: Yeah.
Aragorn: It’s me, Arendelle.
Aeryndel: You guys aren’t, y’know, into superstitions, are you?
Shain: I came from a whole different timeline.
DM: You
Shain: I’m pretty
Shain: superstitious as it comes.
Aragorn: I know all about the superstitions.
Aeryndel: Y’know.
Aeryndel: Currently it’s, y’know, the year 800, but like, some people do definitely theorize that
Aragorn: What about?
Aragorn: I was about to say, did you know the world would die in 1,200 years?
Aeryndel: the world will end if that goes up by one more number.
Caitlin: Yeah, yeah, it’s Y2K in this world, are we about to experience Y2K?
Aeryndel: Which will be… tomorrow.
Shain: Oh, wait, is it hasn’t been a week yet since
DM: No
Aeryndel: you
DM: Yes, you can.
Caitlin: I think we should experience Y2K.
Caitlin: Can we cause Y2K?
Aragorn: Butter!
Caitlin: Can the influx be the direct cause of Y2K?
DM: What?
Aragorn: I make a toaster.
DM: Okay.
Caitlin: Can I make a toaster check?
DM: Moving on.
DM: Since when?
Aragorn: The revolution.
DM: No.
DM: It’s only been two days.
DM: It’s been two days.
Shain: Mr. actually no it’s only been like a day now think about it since the guys
Shain: I called me in a week I gotta remember his name I’m gonna write it down hey is
Aeryndel: Okay.
Aragorn: His name is now CallMeInAWeakGuy, and he will go by nothing else.
Shain: Is this the call me now, okay?
Aragorn: Hello, CallMeInAWeakGuy.
Shain: I have two pens?
DM: Call me on my cell phone.
Caitlin: You
Shain: Yo!
Shain: Let me work them off.
Aeryndel: So.
Shain: Where are you, car?
DM: His name was Sindal, and I apologize, it’s only been one day.
DM: I contacted him on the 35th.
Shain: Sending, I’m just gonna put send all.
Aeryndel: Yeah.
DM: S-Y-N-D-O-L
Shain: Cool.
Aeryndel: Hey.
Shain: Okay, I was close.
Shain: I had an E.
Shain: I thought of Sen as in Sendall, not Sendall, Sendall.
Shain: Anyways, as we’re going,
Aeryndel: Samuel.
Caitlin: And be well, Jackson.
Shain: because I have time on my hands, I get that reference.
Shain: I’m gonna, I’m gonna, I’m gonna, I’m sorry.
Shain: I’m gonna, I’m gonna see if there’s any more
DM: Okay, so for the record, you can’t see the stars at the moment.
Shain: like rotations or constellations I can make.
Aeryndel: you
Shain: And you know what?
Shain: Big brain, as it’s nighttime and we’re slowly traveling
Aragorn: you
Shain: and I have tiny hut casted
Shain: for whatever stuff we might be doing.
Shain: I want to look at the stars
Shain: and see if I can copy the stars into my dodecahedron,
Caitlin: you
Shain: like the constellations.
Shain: I know we’re heading into that area, but like…
Shain: Ugh, stupid clouds.
DM: thing was from the night before.
Shain: Yeah.
DM: So, sorry.
Aeryndel: I do want to do something.
DM: You can’t do that.
Shain: Well, my decision still applies.
Shain: Yes, sir.
DM: Okay, you can’t do that in the future for sure.
Shain: Yes, sir.
Shain: For sure, for sure.
DM: But
DM: anyways, I guess unless anybody else wants to do anything, you continue
Shain: I got a 69.
DM: traveling.
DM: Oh, okay.
Aeryndel: There is something I want to do.
Shain: You also have to roll on the table.
DM: What are you gonna do while we’re on the car?
Aeryndel: I would like to bring attention to the elephant in the room being Sylvar, and just be like,
Solvar: So
DM: You
Aeryndel: I’ve been meaning to ask this question, uh, so far…
Aragorn: That’s a very good question, and I second that.
Shain: And why are you still with us?
Aeryndel: Why were you in that cave?
Aragorn: Why were you-
Aragorn: Sorry!
Aragorn: I mean, hops off a Mach 2 speed car and starts walking away.
Aeryndel: Yeah, why- why- we- we- are you friends with that thing?
Caitlin: And that is how Glow created a new character.
Solvar: Oh, sorry, i’ll leave good point
Aeryndel: No, no, no, I’m not- I’m not questioning your existence!
Aeryndel: I’m just trying to ask questions!
Solvar: No point, I’ll actually just leave right now, thanks.
DM: For the record, it’s already been established that Sylvar is, like, motion sick.
Aeryndel: I’m not questioning… your exis-
Aragorn: Shit, alright?
Solvar: Oh yeah, I’m definitely throwing up.
Aeryndel: I didn’t say that!
DM: See, y’all are going Mach 4, and Sylvar’s just over there, like, dragging and goes,
Aragorn: Why are you even here, get off!
Shain: Yeah.
Shain: Why are you even here?
DM: Why are you even here?
Solvar: Dragon said, actually, just go away.
Aeryndel: I said, why were you in that cave?
Caitlin: Dragon literally looked at our new party member and said, I hate you, can you get the fuck
Shain: I said, why are you even here?
DM: Also, why are you here?
Solvar: Dragon said, you’re actually no longer welcome here.
DM: He literally just was like, hey, yo, dog, why were you in the cave?
Aragorn: Let’s address the elephant in the room, Solvar, yeah!
Aeryndel: Oh, shit!
Caitlin: out of this party, bro?
Aeryndel: Bro, you’re putting words in my mouth that I wish you’d put something else there.
Aeryndel: Nine millimeter.
Caitlin: Let’s address the element in the room, I hate you.
Shain: Proceeds to look at the fans
Aeryndel: Yeah, why were you in the cave?
DM: And why are you
Aragorn: Casual racism
DM: chill exploring.
Aeryndel: And why were you friends with a dragon?
Aragorn: Cuz dragons are cool fuck
Aeryndel: Would you classify the dragon as the Huzz?
Caitlin: Daddy is the right term.
Solvar: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Solvar: no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Aragorn: See your sugar daddy
Solvar: I’m sorry.
Aeryndel: Neither do I.
Aeryndel: I read it in a book once, and I do not understand its terminology.
Caitlin: Butter, Butter, what was the name of the book in which you read about the huhs?
Aragorn: Rizolo G. one oh one.
DM: I don’t know!
DM: And I’m not putting that in my lore.
Aeryndel: It was called- It was called dark elvish slang from the 600s.
Aeryndel: That’s- That’s why they need to be put down!
Caitlin: No, it’s the, it’s the fuckin’
Solvar: Let’s just say I don’t have a lot going for me, I don’t have a lot of friends, and the
Caitlin: No, it’s fuckin’ How to Seem Cool to Your Kid in the Year 800.
DM: Oh gosh.
Caitlin: It’s a parent guidance book.
Aragorn: at four dummies.
Aeryndel: So you- You wouldn’t classify yourself as friends with a dragon.
Shain: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
DM: you
Aeryndel: Why were you in that cave?
Aeryndel: Do you remember your-
Aeryndel: Previous occupation?
Caitlin: I start logging.
Solvar: lady over there, killed me, and then immediately saved my life, so I kind of owe her one.
Caitlin: I haven’t even known you that long.
Solvar: Now I throw myself off the cart.
Aeryndel: Yeah, yeah, she tends to have that effect on people, trust me.
Shain: Well, my question for you, Zobar, you never gave me your name, but I’m just going to assume
Aeryndel: No, it’s still on.
Shain: that’s what it is.
Shain: But did you and the dragon like have conversations?
Caitlin: He actually isn’t talking about the verbal kind of conversation.
Solvar: We communicated with each other.
Shain: Because I used to have conversations with dragons.
Shain: I think they’re quite friendly if you get to know them well enough.
Aragorn: Tell me when.
DM: Friends with benefits for real for real.
Shain: Okay, you’re done.
Solvar: We had a mutual understanding, you could say, and a mutual beneficial relationship until
Aeryndel: You’re done now.
Shain: All right, I snapped Andrew back in time 30 years.
Caitlin: You’re done, you’re done, you’re done.
Aragorn: The dragon.
Solvar: You know, we didn’t.
Solvar: What?
Aragorn: Oh.
Solvar: You’re done.
Caitlin: I guess it probably should be noted here that.
Shain: You
DM: For the record, I did think about it like this, but I just want to say, I want to incorporate
DM: you, for roleplay purposes folks, you can use Stinkin’ Freeze Cast to just freeze somebody
Aeryndel: Okay, let’s save time in a bottle.
DM: in time, if you would like, for just like one round instead, it would do a full action,
Caitlin: It should probably be noted that if you guys are talking to Sylvar and Sylvar is giving
Shain: What’s how long
Solvar: You
DM: but you can do that, for funsies, not in combat.
Shain: You mean like a free like only in combat oh
DM: Not in combat.
DM: for example you could free if you wanted just like nope you you’re you’re you’re booted out
Aragorn: you
Shain: I didn’t know this.
Aeryndel: you
Shain: I did not know this.
Caitlin: information.
Caitlin: I don’t look surprised at all.
Caitlin: I don’t know if this confuses
Caitlin: anybody or it says anything about anybody.
Caitlin: This is all just like I’ve
Caitlin: already heard this before.
DM: been there learned that
Shain: So then my question for you, Sylvar, would be, if the dragon communicated to you and
DM: you
Aragorn: I
Shain: you had a mutual understanding, probably of some survival or whatever it might be, because
Shain: nah, I’m not going to offend you or anything, you can’t really get any weight on your body
Shain: at the moment.
Shain: Which is strange, but normal for being trapped in a cave for, I don’t know, I don’t know
Caitlin: We’re not fucking doing this shit, we’re not doing this shit.
Solvar: Well, that won’t- Well, I mean, that last town had a pretty good stash of dead bodies
Shain: how long you were there, but, you know, it’s more about, I guess, anyways, never mind.
Aragorn: I cast Body Dysmorphia and fucking leave, so f-
Shain: Are you…
Aragorn: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Solvar: Jeez, that was pretty tasty.
Aeryndel: Yes, and I’m not giving it to anyone, you already fucked out his brain!
Shain: Do we have…
Caitlin: I think it’s Dwagan, right?
Shain: Who has a value holding with the decayed head?
Shain: I’m gonna lean over to Nate little does he know I can do that for free
Caitlin: Doesn’t Dwagan have the fucking head?
Solvar: May I take a bite?
Solvar: May I take a bite out of it?
Aeryndel: No!
Solvar: Please?
Aeryndel: I gotta keep it in pristine condition!
Solvar: I don’t notice a bite missing.
Aragorn: You
Caitlin: For what?
Caitlin: Please lie.
Caitlin: He’s lying.
Aeryndel: I’m working on a project, if you will, that requires severed heads.
Solvar: Oh, okay.
Caitlin: I laughed, he’s okay.
Aeryndel: No, I’m working on making a pocket pussy out of a real head.
Solvar: She’s crying.
Shain: All right, wow.
Aeryndel: That’s why I’m working on it, you gotta put something to heat it up in there!
Caitlin: Do you reckon it’s not even still warm?
Aragorn: Both can
Solvar: I can’t see!
Aragorn: Where’s my local Pringles can?
Solvar: I’m trying!
Shain: Oh.
Caitlin: Motherfuckers put it motherfuckers putting a 9-volt in the back
Shain: Okay, well, we’re going to continue before we get sidetracked, we haven’t gotten to our
Aeryndel: Fucking putting hand warmers under the jaw.
Aragorn: Oh
Caitlin: Do we come back we come back next we come back to next session and do I get has like a car battery and to
Aeryndel: Yeah, before this gets worse.
Caitlin: Like jumper cables, but that’s what it’s ears
Caitlin: Wait, wait.
Aragorn: Now hooked up to his balls one on each ball.
Aragorn: Oh
Solvar: you
Caitlin: Okay, very important.
Caitlin: Do you have false?
DM: I mean, theoretically, as long as you can hold it.
Shain: town yet.
Aragorn: That’s why I get to have talking balls
Aeryndel: I have cock and ball.
Shain: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Aragorn: Can I Metal Gear 3 his balls, please?
Caitlin: I’m just laughing like you just handed him a fucking the keys to the city.
Aeryndel: No, singular, not plural.
Shain: whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Shain: whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Shain: Okay.
Aragorn: Two thousand minutes.
Aeryndel: What have we done?
DM: For the record, as you guys are traveling along having a wonderful conversation, the
Shain: Thank you.
Shain: I’m going to remember this.
Aragorn: You should.
Caitlin: you
Shain: Yes!
DM: rain kind of picks up a bit, but nothing to be concerned at, especially with your makeshift
DM: structure that you have.
DM: But you eventually come, as you’re heading down the road, you see something off in the
Aeryndel: you
DM: distance.
DM: It kind of appears to be like a large…
Shain: Oh.
Shain: you
DM: You can’t see the road anymore, and with the rain kind of down as it is, it’s kind of hard
DM: to see in advance, so you slow down in preparation and precaution.
DM: you approach you basically see an extremely large ravine.
DM: It’s approximately 150 feet across
Aragorn: you
DM: and you can’t from where you are see kind of an end on either side.
Shain: I
Caitlin: Okay.
DM: Granted the rain is kind of
DM: limiting your visibility here, but luckily you do see a path that is obviously man-made
DM: that continues the path that you’ve been following, kind of down a slant, and kind
DM: of off to the side where there might be a way through.
DM: Yeah, so far probably weighs like two thumb, two, two, two stinking, um, like sticks.
Shain: I use ctrl water to make sure the rain doesn’t fall on us anymore.
Caitlin: Butter.
Aragorn: So far, a cat just absorbs water.
Shain: Anyways, continue.
Caitlin: I assume Paladin I have the strength stat required to pick up Solvar like a newborn, maybe
Caitlin: Okay, cool, I pick up Solvar
Caitlin: Dude, he weighs a box of Tic Tacs
Shain: Ounces.
Shain: I’m 70 pounds
DM: I mean,
Solvar: He’s, like, 70 pounds soaking wet.
Solvar: Yeah, you could definitely pick him up.
Aeryndel: You can’t flux morph into a giant bird.
Caitlin: Okay
Shain: It’s so funny.
Solvar: Basically.
Aragorn: it becomes 50 pounds heavier.
Solvar: Yeah, pretty much.
Caitlin: Okay, cool.
Shain: Hey, look, it’s still there.
Solvar: Oh my god, a cat!
Solvar: Nate, wait, why are you picking me up?
Solvar: What did I do?
Caitlin: I pick up Solvar and I fly across.
Solvar: Oh, hell yeah.
DM: it’s going to leave everyone else to figure it out.
Solvar: You know what, Rational?
Caitlin: I trust my boy Flux to figure it out.
Shain: You mean, you mean like,
DM: What?
Solvar: Nate, if you’re going to pick me up, can I get a forward kiss?
Shain: yeah, I could pick up the whole cart
DM: Um, yeah, uh, but anyway.
Shain: with everybody on it, bro.
Shain: His class, yeah.
Caitlin: Sure.
Solvar: Fuck yeah.
DM: Uh, Nate, uh, how exactly are you flying?
Caitlin: I for- am I- am I holding you, like, with my wings because I’m playing in ASMR and I have a 30-
DM: Just regular, regular wing?
DM: Okay, got it, got it.
DM: Um, as you’re flying across, um, the wind definitely picks up and you…
DM: You, yeah, and you kind of struggle
DM: to keep pushing forwards
DM: as you’re maybe only a quarter of the way there.
Caitlin: Would it not be a stave to not get knocked airborne?
Aragorn: Silence.
DM: I’m going to need, we’ll go a strength check
DM: for trying to push through the wind.
DM: Well, you’re not getting knocked out of the air.
DM: It’s more the wind is pushing you kind of back so you’re trying to push through.
Caitlin: Um.
Caitlin: Okay.
DM: So it’s more you’re exerting the energy to move forward, it’s more than trying to save
Caitlin: Uh, where is my…
Caitlin: There it is.
Shain: Silence.
DM: yourself from falling backwards.
DM: Because keep in mind, probably a single person could just stand in this wind and be able
Caitlin: Then that’s a 19, 15, plus 4.
DM: to quote-unquote fly upwards just by the sheer pressure.
DM: Okay, you’re kind of able to continue further and further but
DM: you quickly realize that it is highly unlikely you’ll be able to continue
Shain: This, this is a ravine, right?
DM: at least while the storm is happening.
DM: The further you
DM: get into it you’re maybe 30-40 percent of the way through at most.
Aragorn: You
DM: It’s just pushing back harder and harder and you’re constantly catching
DM: yourself having to push further and further and it’s a it’s basically a gigantic ravine yes
Caitlin: Can I…can I make an Arcana check?
Shain: OK.
DM: 150 feet across
Caitlin: I want to see if this is truly just the storm is this bad, or if there’s foul play afoot.
Aeryndel: Hey, Butter.
Solvar: you
Caitlin: Alright.
DM: yeah absolutely go ahead
Caitlin: What is my…I don’t think my Arcana’s great.
DM: yes
DM: You can kind of peer down and look, but whether it be due to the rain or not, it appears there’s
Caitlin: Now it’s actually pretty good.
Aeryndel: How deep is the ravine?
DM: like a level of mist that’s maybe a good 200 feet down and you can’t see further beyond
Shain: You
DM: that.
DM: But it’s clearly…
Aeryndel: Can I pick a rock?
Caitlin: But it doesn’t-
DM: All right.
DM: Unnatural 20.
DM: Okay.
Caitlin: But it doesn’t unnatural 20.
DM: Unnatural.
DM: Yeah.
DM: 20?
DM: Okay.
Caitlin: Un- unnatural 20, yeah.
DM: Unnatural, yeah.
DM: As both of you kind of do this in parallel, just trying
DM: to check out, see what’s happening.
DM: Dragon, the rock falls but you don’t hear it
DM: plop on the ground.
DM: But Nate, you can kind of sense that there is some type of
Shain: Could be the rain.
DM: wind magic being cast here.
DM: Whether it be nefarious in nature or not, it is
Caitlin: Okay.
Aragorn: Thank you.
DM: definitely not natural.
Caitlin: Is this cold winds, like a cold front, or is this just storm?
DM: It’s just pretty much ambient air.
Caitlin: Well, my thought process is like, you know how, like, when a hurricane whips up, it’ll
DM: Of course, it’s colder than no wind, but it’s
DM: just ambient.
Caitlin: be a cold front because it whips in cold air?
Shain: Oh, I see.
Caitlin: Is it like this, or is it just a storm, just, okay, okay.
DM: No.
DM: It’s just the wind is, for the record, it’s not pushing down on you.
Caitlin: Oh, okay, I heard.
DM: It’s
DM: It’s pushing up from the ravine.
Shain: Oh
Caitlin: So you said there’s a, what’s it called, right, that I’m, like, there’s, like, a pathway
Caitlin: through?
DM: There was a pathway that kind of went down one side of the ravine, but you guys haven’t
Caitlin: Can I, can I, like, can I?
DM: gone now.
DM: So it’s presumed that there’s a pathway through, yes.
Caitlin: I want to take so far and hold him like tight to my chest and like, you know, like bird
Solvar: You
Caitlin: like bullet drop, like wrap my wings around me head first and just kind of, yeah, and
Shain: Suicide bird
Caitlin: just to like to the ground.
DM: Sure.
Shain: Last wish suicide
Caitlin: Suicide bird, last word.
DM: That is certainly an option for you to do.
DM: Now as a paladin, lawfully good
DM: as you claim to be, you might think that maybe dropping into something you cannot see with
DM: a person in your arms is not the best strategy.
Caitlin: It’s, well, my options right now, whatever point you feel fair, my thought process here
Aeryndel: It was also motion sick.
Solvar: Yeah, at what point do I just puke on you, Nate?
Shain: And ways
Aeryndel: Already?
Aeryndel: Yeah.
Aeryndel: Already.
DM: 20 minutes ago.
Solvar: Yeah, probably.
Aeryndel: Yeah.
Caitlin: is it’s either, like, my thought process is it’s either dive now and catch myself because
Caitlin: I know there’s something here regardless of what it may be, or in worst case scenario
Caitlin: I just snap my wings out and catch myself or try to turn around with the wind at my
Caitlin: back and get put in a more dangerous situation.
DM: Okay.
Caitlin: And weighing the pros and cons, I would rather take, like, I’m gonna, I fully plan on catching
Shain: What I’m hearing is you have an Elytra.
Caitlin: myself.
Caitlin: I have an Elytra now.
Aeryndel: That doesn’t seem very large, but I’m going to give it a shot.
DM: No, no, that’s not really the problem.
Shain: You should just use your fireworks and push yourself down, mate.
Caitlin: I mean, if you want me to make some kind of like, if you want me to make some kind of
Shain: Can you use Divine Smite to, like…
Caitlin: like save butter to not basically fucking break sylvar’s neck on.
DM: I just wanted to let you know that, you know, you
DM: would kind of inherently know that if something goes wrong, you’re practically killing this
DM: person in your arms.
Shain: It’s okay, you revived her once, you can do it again.
DM: True.
Shain: Nope, that is not, but that is an option.
Aeryndel: That doesn’t seem very lawful good, Flux.
DM: But if that’s
Caitlin: flex isn’t lawful good, i am, i’m st- that is still what i’m gonna do, i’m going to be,
DM: what you want to do, then you can totally do it.
Caitlin: I am ready for like…
Aragorn: Bye.
Caitlin: I am prepared to hit the ground and immediately put Solvar in a safety position.
Caitlin: Like if I drop and there’s something there, I’m ready to leave him standing and draw my
Caitlin: my blood.
DM: Yeah, as you drop, the further down that you get, the faster the wind kind of picks up and pushes
Caitlin: Transcribed by https://otter.ai
Shain: you
Aeryndel: you
DM: on you.
DM: You’re able to fall maybe 60 feet down below the level of just the regular earth
Aragorn: you
DM: before just the sheer force of it kind of slows your descent.
DM: And eventually,
DM: just even while nose diving, the wind is strong enough to push you and keep you in place.
Caitlin: I’m in a windchamber basically right I’m in a I’m in a windchamber I’m in a windchamber
DM: For the record, your face is like kind of peeling off, not actually, but like
Shain: Hittin’ G’s.
DM: um from just basically, basically.
Shain: Jeez.
Caitlin: it’s like I can literally can’t okay okay so am I just stuck suspended in midair is
DM: Well, if you’re in the bullet position, yes.
Caitlin: Is there a way for me to, like, can I see anything?
DM: You can see a little bit further down, but because of the rain and the mist, you can’t
DM: really see much.
DM: It looks like a regular ravine.
Shain: Can we see what Nate, did Caitlin just like,
Aeryndel: You said there was a man-made path.
DM: Now you do know of a perfect way to get out.
DM: If you spread your arms to increase air resistance, you’ll probably float up.
DM: And if you blow out your wings, you’ll skyrocket up.
DM: So, let me be clear, the road comes like this to the ravine, and this is where you guys
Aeryndel: Is that through the ravine, or is that around it?
Caitlin: That’s what I’m trying to get to.
Aeryndel: Oh, so it’s going in the ravine.
DM: are.
DM: Now, it kind of cuts off to the side, and it’s not official.
DM: The rest of this has been a gravel pathway.
DM: But this is just kind of like really pushed down dirt, basically, so you can see that
Shain: Silence.
DM: people have gone this route before, and it loops down and then down the side of the ravine.
Aragorn: Bye-bye.
DM: So just kind of goes down at an angle, you don’t know where it goes, basically, but it
Caitlin: There’s no way they should be able to miss me.
Aeryndel: Oh, okay.
DM: might not necessarily go into the ravine, it might just go down a little bit to a bridge,
DM: it might just kind of loop into a cave, for all you know.
Shain: Did we see Caitlyn fall to her doom?
DM: But that is basically the only pathway that you see.
DM: You could of course also just try to go around the ravine entirely.
DM: You guys did…
Caitlin: Like I’m just a glowing ball at this point.
DM: You guys definitely saw her fly off, push through what seems to be nothing, basically
DM: hitting it almost wall and then just deciding, yeah, it seems like a good time, you know.
Shain: Yeah
Caitlin: If I can’t get anywhere, and I truly, like, there’s no moving here, then I will readjust
Caitlin: and go join the rest of the party.
DM: Yeah, it’s not difficult for you to do.
Caitlin: Okay.
Caitlin: Okay, I’m gonna hit where the party is standing.
DM: It doesn’t feel necessarily threatening in any way either.
Shain: All right, anyway
Caitlin: My wings at this point are torn, shredded, half the feathers are gone, I kind of fold
Aeryndel: I don’t know if this is their version of a toll bridge.
Caitlin: them up against my back, that’s not an option.
DM: Mm-hm.
Shain: Let me verify that real quick.
Caitlin: I assume my options now are either to take this bridge the manual way or avoid it entirely.
Caitlin: This is definitely some sort of magic at work, which means probably not a… going through
Aragorn: Silence.
Caitlin: which is not a smart idea.
Aeryndel: You detect magic, all of it’s magic.
Shain: Here, detect magic.
Caitlin: It looks like a fucking conniption.
DM: You basically see the same type of thing that Nate already saw.
Shain: What do I, what do I see?
Shain: What is,
DM: The wind that’s being pushed up appears to be definitely cast by something.
DM: It is not natural.
Caitlin: OK.
DM: It is magic for sure.
Shain: is there an origin point that I could see?
Shain: And if I can’t see,
DM: Not that you can make out if there is an origin point, it’s either the entirety of the bottom
Aragorn: Thank you very much.
DM: or somehow they’re distributing the magic from a single point equally across the whole thing.
Shain: What if I take my 100 feet per second crow, make him dash action, see through his eyes
Shain: so he’s 200 feet per second, and I scan a majority of the cave?
DM: Well, there’s not a cave, it’s just a big ravine.
Shain: Well, ravine, sorry.
Caitlin: I have a wall.
DM: Yeah, you can totally do that.
Caitlin: I’m putting an MLG water bucket.
DM: Um, but basically all you can really tell is as you look down into the ravine, there’s
Caitlin: I jump.
Aeryndel: I have a question.
DM: wind magic, and then it’s pushing the wind up and you kind of see strands of the wind
DM: magic flying up with the wind.
Shain: Okay.
DM: dragon.
Aeryndel: Our surroundings is forest and rocks, right?
DM: For the most part, yeah.
Shain: Silence.
Aeryndel: Can I find a medium-sized boulder and cast Tiny Servant on it?
Caitlin: Have a great day.
DM: Uh, absolutely you can if you can remind me what Tiny Servant does.
Aeryndel: It’s right there.
DM: As if almost like human.
Shain: Little guy.
Aeryndel: It just makes a tiny little guy out of a rock, or whatever surface I choose from.
Shain: Like a
Aeryndel: Okay.
DM: Absolutely, yeah.
DM: You make a tiny little circle.
Aeryndel: Oh!
DM: Okay, as you
Aeryndel: Eddie is Lieutenant Dan!
DM: do this, the stinking rock just gets these really big like offset eyes and these kind
DM: of really tiny arms, but really thick legs for some reason.
Caitlin: you
DM: But it kind of looks at you
Aragorn: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
DM: and tries to like, he kind of tries to salute, but because his arms aren’t long enough, it
Shain: It’s got no, it’s got no neck.
DM: just ends up doing, like, this.
DM: It just kind of stands like this, just, like, ready to
DM: do it.
DM: It’s, like, even wobbling back and forth a little bit, just, like, so excited
Aeryndel: My first words are going to be, follow that path, 60 feet ahead of us.
DM: for orders.
DM: You kind of see, like, the boulder, like, try to nod, but because it’s just so
DM: top-heavy, it just flops on its face as it realizes that it’d be easier to roll.
Shain: Yeah
Aeryndel: Medium, it’s just a medium sized balloon!
DM: The kind of legs just kind of melt back into the rock and it rolls in front of
DM: you guys down the kind of path.
Shain: How big is this rock?
DM: You said like a like a medium like rock but you
Shain: Dang
Aeryndel: It’s probably like, one foot tall, two foot tall…
Shain: I’m reclass 15
DM: guys are you guys
DM: yeah maybe
Shain: Bro, it’s got blind sight.
Shain: Oh, it’s blind beyond this radius, though
DM: Um, but yeah, let me read things to make sure I completely understand everything that’s
Shain: I
DM: important.
Aeryndel: Basically, my objective of using it is I just want him to be in front of us leading the
DM: 15 natural armor.
DM: Okay.
DM: Yeah.
DM: Bam.
DM: Um, as you kind of follow it down this path, it kind of goes down.
Aeryndel: way in case there’s any traps or foes.
Aeryndel: At least I’m following, I don’t know about the rest.
DM: Is anybody else following or is it just going to be dragon?
Shain: Think we take the whole car, bro
Aragorn: a dragon yeah let’s not go mock to this
Shain: Yeah, can we take the whole car I mean
DM: Are we thinking whole cart?
Aeryndel: You can take the cart!
Aeryndel: Yeah, you can take the whole card.
DM: Yeah, absolutely.
DM: The path is like big enough that it’s obvious that carts have followed.
Aeryndel: I’m just gonna go slower just in case.
Aeryndel: Let’s take this at easy.
Aeryndel: There’s magic afoot, there’s nefarious shit going on, so I’m just gonna like, like I said,
Aragorn: Tokyo drifting my cart
DM: Yeah.
Aeryndel: I want Lieutenant Dan to be at least 60,
Aeryndel: probably closer to 45 feet ahead of us, so we can still see it pretty easily.
DM: Okay.
DM: So basically, far enough that you can see it easily, but it sees more in front of it.
Aragorn: Lieutenant Dan, I got you an ice cream, Lieutenant Dan.
Shain: May I cast a Dispel Magic if I have a chance?
Aeryndel: Yes.
DM: So that way, you have an early warning system.
DM: I understand.
DM: What?
DM: Oh, are you casting, um, casting spell magic?
Shain: No, not a Dispel Magic.
Shain: Nah, I meant like the wind, just like the bottom.
Shain: For the sake of me trying.
Shain: Dispel Magic?
Shain: Yeah.
Shain: Yeah
DM: Um, sure.
Caitlin: You
DM: Let me read this just to make sure I fully understand the rules.
Aeryndel: You
DM: Um, yeah, you totally can do that.
DM: And as you do, you kind of cast it down, focused on what you hope to be kind of the center
DM: of it.
DM: You can’t really tell because there’s different levels of intensity, but you kind of focus
DM: towards the largest one.
DM: And since you still have your magic sense up, you see that that whole area of magic
DM: just kind of goes dead for a second, as the wind kind of goes away just enough to open
Shain: I see.
DM: like a little pocket, but the air beside it kind of just fills that pocket really quick.
Shain: Uh-huh.
DM: And shortly after, the wind pushes back up from that same location.
DM: So whatever it is, it’s probably a spell less than third level, but it’s being continuously
DM: cast.
DM: Um.
Shain: Interesting, and it’s huge, well, at least this radius.
DM: Alright.
DM: Ah, a dragon!
DM: Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
Shain: So, huh, okay, interesting.
Shain: I’ll keep that in mind.
Shain: Funny enough, I had a dream about that.
Aragorn: Oh
Caitlin: DM bot, butter just asked to be creamed, bud.
Aeryndel: By the way, I did not mean to throw anything.
DM: gimme.
DM: Bro, I’m a big back and I’m hungry.
DM: you um anyways uh as you guys
DM: i did um as you
Aeryndel: Nothing broke.
Shain: Hello?
Shain: Oh
Caitlin: Moving on, moving on, moving on, moving on.
Caitlin: We’re not addressing this.
Aragorn: Mia yeah be asking the dragon to cream pie me
Caitlin: Silence.
DM: okay yeah moving on no no shut up shut up stop talking uh you guys are
Aragorn: Can you turn it down?
DM: following lieutenant dan um as you know this incline kind of goes
DM: down but eventually levels out as you guys are basically just walking along what is a more,
DM: what is essentially a cliff face from the ravine.
DM: So there’s a rock wall maybe 30 or 40 feet to the
DM: left of you and then like the cliff and the ravine to your right.
DM: There’s maybe 30-40 feet wide of
Caitlin: you
DM: surface so you’re not really stressing for space.
Aragorn: Thank you.
DM: But as you guys just kind of continue walking
DM: down this way.
DM: It does get a little slippery at points because the rain is still kind of
DM: pouring in this area, but fortunately the wind that is coming from the ravine is kind of repelling
DM: that water, making it easier to walk on.
DM: Which kind of goes to show that maybe it’s not the rain
DM: water that’s making the mist down at the bottom of the ravine, as very little rain is actually
DM: entering the ravine itself.
DM: But you guys continue walking at your slow pace and
Aragorn: Silence.
DM: nothing kind of jumps out and attacks you but dragon.
DM: After a little bit
DM: Lieutenant Dan finally reports and says that he sees something.
DM: It appears to be
DM: something that crosses the ravine.
DM: He says that roughly a large what is
Aeryndel: Okay, um, as soon as we get to where he’s talking about,
Shain: Thank you.
DM: probably a stone pathway that’s either natural or created, he can’t tell, but it’s kind of
Aragorn: You
DM: spanning the entire way.
DM: It’s shaped kind of like a U that he can see, so that way the inside is
DM: kind of indented from the actual, from like the wind, so you’re not going to get pushed off.
Aeryndel: I want him to walk the whole way.
Shain: You
DM: Okay, but if you can mentally command it within 120 feet,
Aeryndel: If he’s still within range.
Caitlin: You
Aeryndel: Isn’t the range 120 feet for mental commands?
Aragorn: Lieutenant, there you are.
Aeryndel: I’m assuming that also means
Aeryndel: mental receivings.
DM: mental communication would also be within 120 feet, yes.
Aeryndel: So, I want to see how far this thing goes, because I don’t want to
Aeryndel: just risk the party off of a bridge we don’t even know.
DM: Now, technically speaking, I do not believe that it actually can communicate with you,
Aeryndel: His name is Lieutenant Dan, he has to have personality.
Shain: Okay.
DM: but so be it.
DM: It’s easy that way.
Caitlin: I could blitz across it, and worst case scenario, I just pop my wings.
DM: Of course he has personality.
Aragorn: Damn!
Aragorn: Yeah, his legs are missing.
DM: As you guys kind of get to the beginning of the bridge and Lieutenant Dan turns to a dragon
DM: and with a little salute he goes, I’ll do my best sir.
DM: As he turns and he flops as fast as he can
Shain: Bro, pulled the best Anya roleplay ever.
DM: Which is surprisingly not that fast, but he’s trying, okay?
Shain: Yeah, we like Folding Rock.
DM: It’s just this thing getting like, ranched by just…
Aeryndel: I have a quick request.
DM: But um, but he continues heading down there, um, now let me, uh-huh?
Shain: Oh, shoot, I forgot.
DM: It doesn’t say it doesn’t.
Aeryndel: Every time I use the command tiny servant on the same size boulder, can it remember
Aeryndel: who he is?
Aeryndel: I’m asking you.
Shain: For the sake…
Aeryndel: I don’t think- I know this spell doesn’t.
Aeryndel: I’m asking you as a DM.
DM: It doesn’t say it doesn’t.
DM: Maybe you should find out.
Aeryndel: I wonder-
Shain: Let’s keep that rock.
Aeryndel: Cause I wrote- I wrote that in my notes.
Aeryndel: That Lieutenant Dan is real now.
DM: Are
DM: We keep a legitimate dam in the stickin’ pocket.
Shain: I, by the way, I forgot, Noah, I rolled that one thing earlier on my magic casting.
DM: Oh
Aeryndel: Well no, it’s just like-
Aeryndel: Just his consciousness.
Aeryndel: I know him as Lieutenant Dan now.
DM: Gosh that’s fantastic.
DM: Oh
Caitlin: in this hall.
DM: Yes, would you would you get
Shain: I got a 69.
DM: Alrighty alrighty, and that’s just on the that’s on the fun table right not not the madness table
Shain: That’s on, yeah, that’s on the fun table, not the madness table.
DM: All right, you said, that’s, ta-da, all righty.
Shain: Uh, you know, we got the Dohecahedron table, the Shane table, and the Madness table.
Shain: I- I really should take a one-level sorcerer dip.
Caitlin: Your dick VANISHES.
Shain: Please don’t tell me I turned into a woman.
Shain: Please.
Shain: Please.
DM: No, for the next four hours, or no, hang on, hang on, hang on, wait, wait, wait, you said
Shain: Four?
DM: 69?
Shain: Yes.
DM: Okay, okay, I’m sorry.
DM: I’m sorry.
Shain: Okay, okay.
DM: I was wrong.
Shain: No!
DM: Okay.
DM: As you all
Shain: But you still have the sensation!
DM: just kind of
Caitlin: Did you hear my computer?
DM: are waiting around for Lieutenant Dan to show up or give some type of report,
DM: you notice at the corner of your
DM: corner of your eyes that Shane has kind of grown by a significant margin.
Aeryndel: I pulled down his pants.
DM: whereas previously he he kind of looked like the frail kid you’d bully on the
Shain: Oh.
DM: playground this guy is packed all right he’s he’s easily like six foot eight
Shain: You can’t.
Shain: I look down.
DM: like muscular okay actually his clothes kind of begin to tear just a little bit
Caitlin: Oh, my God.
Aeryndel: Fucking hell.
Aeryndel: Please tell me he looks like the before and after of Escanor from Seven Deadly Sins.
Shain: No.
DM: because they were not designed for this size of man
Shain: No, don’t tear my neck.
Shain: I’m gonna I’m gonna look at down at Arendelle.
DM: Yes.
Aeryndel: Are you, are you good there, buddy?
Aragorn: But I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.
Shain: I’ll be like, what’s wrong?
Caitlin: Well, fuck us all.
DM: Yes, your voice also deepens.
Aragorn: I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.
Shain: Well, I think it’s a side effect for one of my spells.
Shain: Hmm, I don’t know.
Aeryndel: Is it permanent?
Shain: Probably.
Shain: I’m not that tall, buddy.
Shain: I feel like I could do a commercial, like, here at Ford.
Aeryndel: Uh, uh, cool.
DM: Dragon, eventually you kind of receive a mental communication saying, boss, you there?
Aeryndel: I beg to differ.
Aragorn: Or we got the trucks that’ll ram you in the asshole
Caitlin: He dies instantly.
Shain: With this spell, you can create a Fiend F-150.
Aeryndel: We got the trucks.
Aeryndel: You got the butts.
Shain: Oh, my gosh.
Aeryndel: I copy, Lieutenant Dan.
DM: He says, you should come see this, I don’t even know what I’m looking at.
Aragorn: Sir
Aeryndel: As soon as I get that mental command, I’m darting.
Aragorn: Silence.
Shain: Hang on, I’m going to attempt to get out of the car and just BOOM!
Caitlin: I’m following Webinar.
Aeryndel: I’m gonna repeat guy, I’m gonna be like, Lieutenant Dan saw something!
Aeryndel: And he doesn’t know what it is!
Aeryndel: I’m going!
DM: By the way, Flux, as a temporary situation,
Caitlin: Get Cass out of this mess.
DM: all your strength and dexterity are basically 20s,
Aeryndel: That’s how he runs on the bridge.
Shain: Oh, yeah.
DM: which means you have plus five to those
DM: instead of whatever you currently have.
DM: That also, so yeah, perfectly like that.
Aeryndel: Um, actually, as Lieutenant Dan looks up, he just falls over.
DM: But yeah, you guys kind of run and kind of eventually come across the Lieutenant Dan
Caitlin: you
DM: just kind of like looking up at what appears to be an outline of a very large creature.
Shain: I look eye-level with it, Butter.
DM: Yes.
DM: Well, I said looking up, I never said standing up.
Aeryndel: Galactus!
Shain: I look eye-level with this big silhouette.
DM: As you guys kind of look up and kind of like try to make out what’s happening, it grows
Caitlin: So, I’m basically looking at, like, what it-
DM: larger as it approaches.
Shain: I’m gonna, I’m gonna turn over to Caitlyn.
DM: There’s what?
DM: GALAXUS, GUYS!
DM: No, no, um…
Aeryndel: Shane, do you sell car insurance?
DM: …
Shain: Should we be worried about this?
Aragorn: It’s so cold.
Caitlin: What am I even looking at?
Caitlin: Like a giant?
Caitlin: Or like a statue?
DM: So…
DM: It’s clearly moving.
Shain: Thank you.
DM: You can’t really make it out just yet.
DM: The kind of silhouette has grown
DM: larger as it’s approached because it’s still kind of obscured by the mist.
Aragorn: Hitsuko Uchida.
Aeryndel: Kawaii!
DM: But after a couple of seconds of it just growing in size again and again and again,
Aragorn: I hate this.
DM: you finally can see it in its true glory.
DM: Basically, the bottom half is kind of a kind of a cloud that’s kind of whirling around,
DM: Kind of how you expect a genie to be, but the top half is a large giant wielding a large
DM: mace in his hand.
DM: As he kind of looks down at you all, he’s clearly large.
Aeryndel: You
DM: He’s maybe a good 50-60 feet tall.
DM: he looks down and says how dare you cross my bridge
Aragorn: He’s a 60-foot troll.
Caitlin: The second he says that, the second he says that I’m putting one arm around flex and one
Aragorn: Well, we’re your friends, obviously.
Shain: I’m gonna look at him.
Shain: Hey, I didn’t know this is your bridge, buddy
DM: he kind of looks at us it looks at you because well it’s my bridge and only my
DM: friends can cross it
Aeryndel: Do you not remember us?
Shain: Okay, I don’t mean to be
Aragorn: We were in the frat house with you!
Aeryndel: I thought we were friends, do you not remember us from, like, last year?
Caitlin: arm around Solvar and I’m immediately going along with the bet.
Shain: Listen
Shain: I’m gonna like move my hand right next to my head love me like I remember when you was
Aeryndel: What the hell?
Shain: this tall don’t you remember that?
Aragorn: I used to change your diapers.
Aragorn: I’m scared, Godzilla-chan!
DM: FRANK!
DM: As his voice echoes deep into the ravine and bounces back up.
Shain: So I’m gonna, I’m…
Aeryndel: Yes.
Shain: …
DM: Yes.
Shain: Butter, why did you just join
Shain: a heavy metal band?
Shain: Did you actually holler that?
Aeryndel: Yes, he did.
DM: As another stinking giant kind of approaches from the other side.
Aragorn: Is he naked?
DM: As he says, I WAS TAKING
DM: A BATH, WHAT DO YOU WANT?
Caitlin: Who has the highest decep- very quickly, very quickly, who has the highest deception score?
DM: He is not.
DM: Um, but the other one says-
Shain: Or friendly.
Aeryndel: That hurts!
DM: Well, they said we’re friends, but I don’t recognize them!
DM: Ugh, see?
Shain: Or friendly
DM: He kinda gets real close to you guys.
DM: Like, so close, you could probably poke him in the eye if you so desired.
DM: Um.
Caitlin: I’m gonna like, I want this to be a not, like, non-hostile action.
Caitlin: I’m gonna grab my flametongue and like twist it to light it almost like I’m lighting a torch
DM: He just kind of blinks a couple times before he kind of leans back and says, no, I don’t
Caitlin: and just kind of hold it up a little bit and be like maybe you can see us a little better in light
Aeryndel: Do you not remember?
Caitlin: I
Aragorn: Lighting a cigarette with a flamethrower.
Shain: Well, listen here buddy, you don’t remember me, but I’m your bud.
DM: I don’t know them!
Aragorn: Sure you do!
Caitlin: That’s
DM: The the kind of original one looks at you
Caitlin: That’s a big
Aragorn: We’re the Ford brothers.
DM: He goes
DM: Look, I I don’t remember you and I can’t do anything about that.
Shain: You
DM: So we have to start anew as
DM: Such I’m sure you brought the offerings
Shain: Yeah here
DM: He kind of looks like really giddy at this point
Aragorn: Give him the horse.
DM: guys kind of notice that around kind of some of his like fingers he has like little spots where
Solvar: Bye-bye.
DM: he’s like put down some type of like sticky glue and pushed in things of value.
DM: He actually has
DM: kind of on his like right thumb basically this like blob of black goo and a treasure chest just
Caitlin: Can I, can I make a, excuse me, hang on just a second, can I, I cast Find Vehicle to give
Aeryndel: Here you go, Mr.
DM: Attached to it.
Shain: You want me to give them?
DM: Um.
Aragorn: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
DM: Give him the horse.
Caitlin: him an M1 Abrams, can I make a quick Arcana check?
DM: No.
Caitlin: I want to see is there anything of cleric or paladin make?
Aeryndel: Good comms, good comms.
Shain: I’d prepare to hand my Dohecahedron over, I’m just kidding, no.
DM: Sure.
Caitlin: Anything that immediately calls out to me that I see on this guy’s body that’s like,
Aragorn: Silence.
Caitlin: this is holy.
Caitlin: Perception or investigation.
Caitlin: Oh, religion.
Caitlin: Okay, heard.
DM: Go ahead and make a religion check for that.
Caitlin: I’m actually not bad enough.
Caitlin: Fair enough.
Caitlin: Okay, heard.
Caitlin: Um, I’m actually not bad enough.
DM: I mean, you’re looking for religious
DM: stuff if it makes sense.
Caitlin: Can I make it with, uh, can I make it with advantage because I’m the goat?
Shain: What if I chronal shift you?
Caitlin: Damn it, okay.
Caitlin: It’s, it’s, it’s an 18.
Caitlin: It’s a 13 plus 5.
DM: You do see that kind of a couple pieces are giving off some type of like holy magic
DM: vibes.
DM: Possibly some type of arcane focuses or something that previous paladins or clerics used.
Caitlin: Is there a, specifically, is there a weapon, like, is there like, oh, a paladin gave up
Caitlin: like a broadsword or something like that?
Aragorn: You
DM: Nothing that you can see for like weapons.
Caitlin: Uh, shield?
Shain: you
DM: In fact, as far as you can tell there are
Caitlin: Well, you said there were focuses, right?
DM: there’s not even like armor or anything like that.
DM: It is like jewelry or coins or like I
DM: I said, a treasure chest, but nothing like items or anything like that.
DM: Yeah, when it kind of appears to be basically a gold T with instead of just it being a flat T,
Aragorn: Okay.
DM: it kind of curves up on the ends, so it ends up looking kind of like a three-headed spear,
Shain: I know it’s a give him
DM: but it’s obviously not.
Caitlin: It’s like a yeah, I want to kind of
Caitlin: Why okay, what’s your plan flex my plan was something a boy ever
DM: He just kind of like leans in and says, why would I want that?
Shain: Now you if I mean I was just gonna ask real quick
Caitlin: Lex, we’re not giving you the bear.
Shain: I’ll look at the guy who has a hard time seeing and be like
Shain: Just for my sake
Shain: If I give you something really really strong and powerful that can you know alter reality to your will
Shain: Um, what is the chance?
Shain: No, I have to, we have to keep the villain.
Caitlin: Oh, he just wants shiny things.
Shain: Uh, I thought, I learned you weren’t shiny things, so I’ll give you a shiny thing.
DM: What if he just, he’s dead?
Caitlin: You just want shiny things.
Shain: He’s dead.
Shain: Bye.
Caitlin: He’s dead.
Caitlin: He dies.
Caitlin: Where is the focus located?
Caitlin: Like, arm?
Caitlin: Like, back?
DM: He kinda has it, like, uh, on his, like, upper arm here.
Caitlin: Okay, I want to kind of gesture towards Flux and go
Caitlin: I’m pretty sure we’ve been here before though
Caitlin: This this one wasn’t and he can pay the fee if it’s a once-per-person thing
Caitlin: But it was the one who gave you that focus on your arm
Shain: I’m
Caitlin: Paladin holy object is that
Caitlin: We’ve been through here before
DM: What?
Caitlin: I would be the ones who gave you that.
DM: He kind of turns and says, Frank, go grab the book.
Caitlin: At least I was.
Caitlin: I’m not sure about the others.
Caitlin: It’s been quite some time, but if there’s still a chance, I’d be the one to do it.
Shain: Butter
DM: As Frank flies back down and he comes back up with this gigantic book.
Aragorn: Bye-bye.
DM: Like if it was dropped on you, you guys would be plopped flat on the ground.
Caitlin: Shit.
Caitlin: Pulling out like a fucking encyclopedia type of like big leather bound book.
DM: See, it’s relatively thick.
DM: He kind of pulls it out, and he just kind of flip-throws it.
Aeryndel: You
DM: You mean this one, right?
Shain: I love Frank.
DM: Who are you referring to this one?
Caitlin: Whichever one calls out to me as being more strong because I shouldn’t have been.
DM: It would be this one.
Caitlin: Okay then yeah for that one.
DM: Yes, here it is.
DM: I can’t read.
DM: Frank!
Caitlin: Oh, my homies, stand home.
DM: Frank Crescent says, alright, alright, that’s it, 1,372 moons ago, we received this little
Aeryndel: I don’t know why I’m laughing, I don’t know why I’m laughing, I don’t know why I’m laughing,
Caitlin: Fuck.
Shain: Well, I’m a human, so these guys are quite small.
Caitlin: Everything’s a bit…
DM: thing from a halfling.
DM: Now you don’t look like a- are you a halfling?
Caitlin: This one’s human, but he’s a bit high from up there, that would make me a halfling, yes.
Shain: No, well.
Caitlin: I’ve gotten a bit taller, it’s been, what, let’s see, wait, 1,300 moons?
DM: Roll Persuasion on that, Flux!
Shain: I got you, bro.
Aeryndel: We don’t know that how many days are in a year in this world?
DM: Let me pull it up, I can do, I can do big net.
Caitlin: 1,300 moons would be, what, four and a half years ago-ish?
Shain: I got you.
Caitlin: I assume it’s 365.
Caitlin: I assume it’s 365, unless I’m wrong.
Caitlin: I assume it’s 365, unless I’m wrong.
Aragorn: Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay,
DM: It is… 360.
Aeryndel: Did you hear what Flex said after he was like, are you sure, are you a halfling?
Caitlin: Okay, so yeah, so about four and a half years ago.
Shain: I got it, guys.
DM: He says, he says, oh, you know, you are kind of talking to me, you know, you’re kind of
Shain: Don’t worry.
Shain: Natural 20.
Shain: Yeah, well.
Caitlin: Because I’m immediately going to do this.
Shain: Okay.
Aeryndel: Flex goes, well I’m a normal human, so these guys are pretty short.
Shain: Oh, thank you, I appreciate it.
Caitlin: Actually, that’s really helpful, because I’m immediately going to go, everything’s a bit
Aeryndel: Because Flex says I’m normally tall right now.
Aeryndel: I know!
Caitlin: Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
DM: taller than them.
DM: That checks out.
DM: You must be our friend.

Solvar: …

Caitlin: You’re not going to die.
Caitlin: Jump in the back.
DM: Okay, does Sylvar jump in the bag?
Solvar: I… I… I…
Solvar: Hmm… I guess, yeah.
Solvar: Yeah, pretty lady says to jump, and I jump.
Aeryndel: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, is there a certain kink with Nate and people
DM: Bro, why are we trusting people to jump in bags?
Shain: Ah, he just jumps in the bag and
Solvar: Cause she’s hot.
DM: Alrighty, that’s fair, you know?
Solvar: I think there is.
Caitlin: It’s the best thing that I can think of, of like a, okay, we need to get some Arthur here.
Aeryndel: jumping into his bags of holding, because this is the second time it’s happened.
Solvar: Nate, do you want to tell us something?
DM: If I had a nickel…
Aeryndel: Yin Lair and Arendelle did it!
DM: If I had a nickel for every time
Aeryndel: I had a niggle every time I saw Nate.
Solvar: Nate, do you have something
Solvar: Can you tell us?
DM: Yeah, because befriending stupid Giants are too complex
Caitlin: And now I need to come up with some, okay, I won’t kill you, hang on, I’m locked in for
Aeryndel: You’re making an owl joke.
Shain: Make a knock-knock joke.
Solvar: Alright, fine, Nate, as long as you promise not to kill me, I’ll jump in your fuckin’ bag.
Aeryndel: Remember, the more complicated the joke, the more it’s not going to land.
Caitlin: this one because opera isn’t loading.
Caitlin: I’m locked into this one.
DM: Luckin
Shain: Make a knock-knock joke, Nate.
Caitlin: I know, I know, that’s why I wanted to do some stupid.
Shain: Like, knock-knock, who’s there?

Caitlin: You know, it’s, every time I come here, I feel myself getting smarter
Caitlin: interacting with all of you.
Caitlin: I have to use such giant words to actually interact with
Caitlin: Oh, fair enough, fair enough.
Shain: I laughed so hard.
DM: Frank just looks at the other one.
Shain: I laughed.
DM: They both look back down, and they say,
Shain: Oh
DM: I had a nickel for every time I heard that joke.
Solvar: you
Aeryndel: Wait, mister, mister, how many nickels would you have?
DM: Probably like 40 nickels.
Caitlin: It’s the same, it’s the joke that Halfling used the first time, instead of two nickels.
Aragorn: That’s enough to buy you a house.
DM: As they both kind of just point and laugh at you enough to buy a house, they say,
Aeryndel: It’s pretty average.
Shain: There you are.
Aragorn: I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don

Caitlin: Okay.
DM: Stop!
DM: I need your name!
DM: What is your name, new friend?
DM: I don’t know if you can hear it, but I’m going to play it for you.
DM: I’m going to play it for you.
Aragorn: B-R-O-N
DM: for a second.
DM: He comes back with like a large chunk of rock that he probably just took out
Aeryndel: Please tell me he did not write Brawn, he just wrote Scribbles!
DM: of the side of the ravine as he slams it into the book and scrapes it to write down your
Aragorn: My mother died in a house fire.
DM: name.
DM: He goes, alrighty mister funny man.
DM: You don’t know, you can’t see the book, but
Caitlin: It’s like.
DM: He does turn to you, Drag, and he says,
DM: now you, do you have funny joke?
Aeryndel: The only joke that I possibly know is, do you need assistance around your living quarters?
Aragorn: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Shain: Why are we laughing at that?
DM: Me?
Shain: It’s because we have dark humor.
DM: I don’t know.
DM: Uh, no.
DM: Yes!
DM: Oh, that is funny, I get that, do you get that one?
Aeryndel: So you don’t need a… hand… as I take off my hand.
Aragorn: Okay.
DM: The other one’s just standing there going, what did he do, I can’t see.
DM: And he kind of floats up to the other one and kind of whispers, he goes,
DM: Hey, talk to me.
DM: And we try to hit him.
DM: As they kind of go to start writing your name, they’re like,
Aeryndel: It’s actually, uh, IRNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
DM: Wait.
DM: What’s your name, funny man?
Aragorn: LeBron
DM: Iron Maiden.
DM: I feel like I’ve heard that before.
DM: must be famous your funny jokes I didn’t did funny man as he turns and he says
Aragorn: Holy shit, it’s Kevin Hart
DM: strongest man are you funny too yes he is oh you’re built like a brick for the
Shain: looking at me, I hope.
Shain: No!
Shain: I ought to be.
Shain: Well, I got a joke for you.
DM: For the record, you could also try to give him a gift, but I mean…
Shain: Oh.
Shain: Yeah.
Shain: I’m
Shain: going to, hang on, let me just check the spell list real quick to make sure that
Shain: I have this correct?
Shain: I am going to flick my hand and create one of those Arcane Obeyance
Aragorn: You
Shain: Peeds, and I’m going to put Dominate Person in it, and I’m just gonna hold it out and
Shain: it’s gonna like glimmer off of just because it’s magic, because that’s what I can do because
Shain: I’m magical.
Shain: And I’m gonna hold it in my hand, and I’m gonna make sure it’s shiny enough
Shain: So mr. Blind guy can’t really see it, but he can get the idea.
Shain: I’ll be like
Aeryndel: You
Shain: Are you okay with a little bit of inappropriate joke?
Shain: All right, so
DM: He kind of, he tries to reach down and grab it.
Shain: This is a bead I’m gonna hand it to him
Shain: Now, the joke is, once you crush the bead, you’ll find it funny.
DM: Ooh, okay.
Shain: It makes a pop noise, you should try it.
DM: Don’t really see how that’ll work, but okay!
DM: Quish!
DM: As he…
Shain: Yeah, and I am going to, as he does that behind my back, I’m going to cast the thunder something
DM: As he snaps it.
Shain: spell, the one that goes BOOM for 300 feet, or whatever, yeah, basically.
Aeryndel: There’s the equivalent of a clown shaking your hand to get shocked.
Shain: And then he needs, it doesn’t say, hang on, I’m just verifying, it doesn’t say it.
Caitlin: You
Shain: attempt to char-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Shain: Okay, no, this doesn’t say anything about that from my understanding.
Aeryndel: Why are you trying to dominate him?
Shain: And he needs to make the saving throw for dominate person.
DM: What is the saving throw?
Shain: Because I’m not funny!
DM: What, what’s, what, what, what, what, what, what, what saving throw am I, nevermind.
Shain: Oh wait, I have dancing lights up, oh well.
Caitlin: Fucks, I wasn’t.
Caitlin: I’m still just gonna walk through.
Aeryndel: Bye-bye.
Shain: So, uh, I reroll.
DM: It’s gonna be a nat 20.
DM: Fair enough, fair enough, fair enough.
DM: That is going to be a 16v4 modifiers.
DM: Give me one second.
Shain: What is his modifier?
DM: That’s what I’m asking.
Shain: Because, uh, I have an 18 save DC.
Aragorn: He has a plus three in wisdom.
DM: What is the save again?
Shain: 18.
Shain: Wisdom, sorry.
DM: What stat am I saving?
Aeryndel: He’s dumb.
DM: Wisdom.
Shain: It’s gotta be negative.
Aeryndel: Do something, he’s dumb.
DM: Wisdom.
DM: 16, 17, 18, 19.
Shain: Grrrr.
Shain: Dragon.
Aeryndel: No!
Shain: Deuce.
Shain: Bro is not wise.
DM: Yup.
Shain: Since we’re not in combat, can I do it again?
DM: It don’t matter.
DM: I mean, you can try.
DM: But they just kinda like look at each other and say,
Shain: No.
Aeryndel: Reroll again?
DM: That’s not very funny.
DM: Maybe this one will be funnier.
Shain: Ooh, that’s some fire.
Aeryndel: I give him a mental command to salute, and then look up, and then just roll backwards
DM: As they’re looking at Lt.
DM: Dan.
DM: As he just kind of salutes and falls back, and he just kind of keeps flopping backwards.
Aeryndel: down the hill we came up from.
Aeryndel: I just threw a slow look.
DM: They just kind of like, they just kind of like look at each other and say, yeah, sounds
Shain: I look at my shiny object, wondering what he’s pointing at.
DM: about right.
DM: Mr. Big Man, you better make a funny joke.
Aeryndel: You
DM: Give me that shiny object you got there.
DM: Um, you can’t really tell because it’s so large.
DM: But whatever it is, it must be shiny.
DM: Um…
Shain: I’m not holding my dagger to Adrian, I don’t think.
DM: As you kind of, like, try to figure out what you could possibly be wearing,
DM: you finally realize that the only thing that you have that’s really shiny that
DM: you kind of have on your person is your headband of intellect.
Aeryndel: Tell me the wizard hat?
Shain: Well, I thought that would make me live.
Aeryndel: I thought you had the wizard hat.
Shain: I want the lizard hat.
Shain: They can have the headband if they really wanted it, but…
Shain: I do, I got both.
DM: You got both.
Caitlin: something like, hyper risky?
Shain: Nah, I just need to make a joke.
DM: All right, look, quick, quick, quick, quick.
Caitlin: Yeah, I mean, I got through,
Shain: It’s basically that simple.
Caitlin: I got through the super shitty joke.
Caitlin: I think it’ll be just fine.
Shain: Yeah, I’m just gonna do this’ll be alright knock knock
DM: I am not, I just want this to be known.
DM: I am not trying to persuade you one way or the other.
Aragorn: Are you into Warhammer?
DM: But the only rules are, you have to be his friend.
DM: He’s just letting through the funny people because they made him laugh.
Shain: Which is why I wanted to tell me in person, but he had one in a row.
DM: But there’s a thousand and one ways to become someone’s friend.
DM: Oh
Shain: I’m gonna, I’m just gonna go knock knock.
Aeryndel: Yeah!
Shain: Oh, apparently I’m good.
Shain: Well, I guess you don’t get that.
DM: What what what what was that the joke
Shain: Oh, apparently you don’t get it.
Shain: Uh, well, I guess you don’t get the…
Shain: Owl.
Aeryndel: Respond with, uh, who’s there?
Shain: And I’ll do a, hoo, hoo, I can’t get a like a, I can’t get a manly hoo, please tell me
DM: So, ah, yes, who’s there
Aeryndel: And then you say, owl who?
DM: Owl who?
Aeryndel: It’s just threatening the DM.
Aragorn: Oh
Shain: they know what an owl is.
Shain: If they don’t, I kill Shane right now.
Shain: On the spot.
Shain: He is dead.
Shain: No, I’m threatening myself.
Shain: That’s a metaphorical concept.
DM: I don’t…
Shain: You know what?
Shain: I’m going to kill Shane.
DM: what’s what’s the knock-knock for I don’t understand this joke yeah yeah as
Aeryndel: You want me to explain it to you?
Caitlin: You
Aeryndel: I can explain it pretty easily, so…
DM: he’s kind of like it’s really close and like his ears the size of your head but
Aeryndel: The joke is…
DM: go ahead
Aeryndel: You know the bird that makes the noise,
DM: Yes, yes, I got that point, but what’s the knock-knock?
Aeryndel: He goes,
Aeryndel: HOO!
Aeryndel: That noise?
Aeryndel: Okay.
Aeryndel: So, you go knock knock, and then you answer who’s there.
DM: Why is-
DM: That’s a funny joke, but that’s not what he said.
Aeryndel: And then he goes, OWL!
Aeryndel: And then you go, OWL WHO?
Aeryndel: And then he goes, OWL YOU!
Aeryndel: Because you just said, who.
Shain: I’m leaving.
Aeryndel: He messed it up, and like, he’s not the sharpest, like, the bigger they are, the not-smart they
DM: Oh.
Shain: Alright, I fist dragon.
Aeryndel: are.
DM: Oh, yeah.
DM: Oh, I see.
DM: He’s a dumb one!
DM: The dumb ones are funny!
Aeryndel: Yes, us humans.
Aeryndel: I’m talking specifically humans.
Aeryndel: Humans, the bigger the human is, not
Shain: I make an unarmed attack against dragons and nonlethally hit
DM: Sorry, you can’t.
Aeryndel: You’re clearly superior.
Shain: them in the ribs who can I swing at who can I swing at who can I swing at then
Aeryndel: Oh!
Solvar: You
DM: They already said he could go through when they’re kind of in the second
DM: half of the compartment now.
DM: You can’t really reach him.
Aeryndel: The usher!
Aeryndel: The usher’s just there!
Shain: tell me who to punch
DM: Unfortunately, nobody is left staying there with you as Lieutenant Dan has
DM: left.
Shain: sorry just need a reset
DM: As Lieutenant Dan has left you, there’s currently nobody next to you
DM: really.
Shain: fine
Aeryndel: I mean, come on, big guy.
DM: He kinda looks down as he grabs it and he says,
Shain: I hand them 12 pieces of gold
DM: I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO BE FUNNY, DUMB BIG MAN!
DM: As kind of on his left arm, he just kind of like flexes a little bit as this kind of black
DM: Gu just kind of… just exudes from him as he slaps on the gold coins.
Aeryndel: Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Caitlin: Whoever was super fucking funny
Shain: Thank you, sir.
DM: He says… he kind of turns and he says,
Aeryndel: oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
DM: You may now finish your journey upon the bridge, but please come back.
Shain: Yeah.
DM: We don’t get many visitors, especially not good friends.
Shain: Yep.
DM: Like, as he looks back at the book, like,
DM: A-An, and, Brann, and, King Fesselforth the Third.
Aeryndel: Is that what Nate was?
Caitlin: No, what?
DM: I don’t know why you keep saying Thesslethorne.
Shain: Th-thasslethorn?
Caitlin: Oh, wait.
Shain: But it-
Shain: Wait, Nate, hang on, no no no, Butter, Butter, Butter, is this- can I make sure that that’s
Caitlin: Yeah, that’s all fine.
Shain: not Thesslethorn?
Shain: Or is this something different?
DM: That is not his name.
Shain: It is now!
DM: It is not his name.
DM: His name is Vezithor.
Shain: It was hella fun.
DM: Very different.
Caitlin: That’s all fine.
DM: It’s not Vezithor.
Caitlin: Whoever is…whoever was super fucking funny, please ask them if there’s anything else we
Shain: I continue on.
Caitlin: need to be worried about on this road.
Aeryndel: Um, Frank, may I ask you a simple question?
Caitlin: Yes.
Caitlin: Yeah.
DM: Oh, oh, is this another joke?
Shain: You
DM: It’s another joke!
DM: Come here, come here!
DM: He is.
Aeryndel: If I tell you another joke, will you answer one of my questions?
DM: Oh, I’m ready!
DM: As he kind of collapses his hands together, you just kind of get
DM: pushed back just from like the wind.
DM: He says, I’ll answer any question.
Aeryndel: As you see me right now, do you think I can walk up a flight of stairs?
DM: Yes, the answer is yes.
Aeryndel: I’m going to take off my leg, how about now?
Aragorn: It’s your head.
DM: He says, your leg is detachable, your hand is detachable.
Aeryndel: And I’m just hobbling.
Aeryndel: Uh-huh, uh-huh.
Aeryndel: Uh-huh.
DM: And a smile is your hand-detachable?
Aeryndel: Uh-huh.
Aeryndel: And I put it back on.
Aeryndel: No, that part is not detachable yet.
Caitlin: See, now the next thing that you do is you say, do you think I can have sex like this?
DM: No.
Aeryndel: I sure, I sure,
DM: Yet, you come back when it is.
DM: That will be a funny joke.
DM: Oh
Aeryndel: You’re welcome.
DM: Oh, we can’t let distractions get in the way of your
Caitlin: and then unscrew your dick from your leg.
Caitlin: I don’t know.
Shain: Use simple words.
Aragorn: Pet peeve.
DM: a journey as he turns and he flies down for a second and he comes back and he has this
DM: like relatively small for them but relatively large for you guys like really large um it
Shain: Bye-bye.
DM: appears to be mostly stone and construct but it has like a sphere of like black that kind
DM: of shines as he as he kind of plops it on the cart that you guys left behind while you
DM: were doing this whole thing and he just kind of picks up the thing with the horse with
DM: He says, there you go!
Aeryndel: Thank you so much, Frank.
DM: That will keep you safe!
Aeryndel: You are truly a dear friend.
Aeryndel: And I am going to shake my hand.
Shain: Moves a hole.
DM: Yes, and you earn!
DM: As he like, as he tries really hard to like, handshake you properly, but it ends up just being a-
DM: Yes, we shall in your funny jokes, you!
Aeryndel: I promise that we will see each other again.
DM: Wait, wait, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
Aeryndel: You know how it is.
DM: The joke with the hand thing, you just detached the hand, right?
DM: Or was it the finger?
Aeryndel: Yeah.
DM: What did you do?
Aeryndel: No, it was the hand, and I’d do it again.
DM: Wait, say it again, say it again.
DM: Wait until I tell my buddies about this!
DM: This is the best bridge in the whole ravine!
Aeryndel: Can you just say this is the best bridge in the ravine, and why there’s multiple toll
Aragorn: He cuts off his fucking hand!
DM: Yes.
Aeryndel: bridges?
DM: Probably.
Aeryndel: Holy shit.
Aeryndel: Alrighty.
Shain: I’m glad we got Frank.
Aeryndel: Frank, we will be on our way, thank you so much for your hospitality.
DM: Yes, yes, thank you, funny man, funny man, you!
Shain: I pick up the cart.
Shain: Well, listen, I’m funny, all right?
DM: Please think of better material next time, big man!
Aeryndel: Oh, you’re quite funny yourself.
DM: That was a sad excuse, big man!
Aeryndel: Heh heh.
Shain: I’m just rich.
Shain: Buddy, I weigh 380 pounds.
Aeryndel: He’s not the sharpest tool in the shed, don’t worry about him.
Aeryndel: I’ll teach him my ways.
DM: As he’s kind of talking, Shane, because you’re the most magically sensitive person,
DM: you can kind of see, like, air currents kind of fly by his ear
DM: in a very strange pattern
Aeryndel: Thank you so much, I’m so sorry, I thought he was with me, he must have gotten lost.
DM: as he kind of, like, looks up for just a second, and he says
DM: the rock isn’t a person!
DM: he’s yours, funny man!
DM: he’s yours!
Shain: He goes over.
DM: as he flies over and grabs the rock and brings it all the way to you, lieutenant dan
DM: as he says
DM: i couldn’t do anything to harm my friend, funny man, funny man, you
DM: Yes, it is very slippery in the rain.
Aeryndel: Ah, yes, it does be.
Aragorn: Press the black key.
Shain: I get in the card I am expecting as we’re doing this to see what it is and
Aeryndel: I’ve noticed.
Aeryndel: Thank you very much.
DM: Safe travels and just press on the blacky thingy sometimes.
Caitlin: Press the blackie.
DM: I don’t know, I had to punch it a couple times to get it to work one time.
DM: But it will keep you safe.
Aeryndel: Thank you very much!
DM: As you guys kind of get back on the carts and continue heading away.
DM: Absolutely.
Shain: what it’s made out of.
DM: Flexi.
DM: It is remarkably familiar in some ways, but very strange in others.
Shain: Oh Lord.
DM: This device seems to be, somehow, made of these wonderful things that you’ve heard of
DM: before.
Aeryndel: The ravine.
Shain: The rock crystal stones, yeah.
DM: Umberstone.
DM: Specifically, they appear to be an amalgamation of…
Caitlin: I’m now going to mention.
Shain: Oh, okay.
DM: Yes, that’s what I just said.
DM: Amalgamation.
Shain: I like the way you said it.
DM: Yes.
Aeryndel: It was near George Bottom, right?
Shain: Oh
Aeryndel: Okay, so it’s like, on the way to Breaker.
Shain: Do you think that
Shain: The whole underground city stretches this far and that’s why they got some I don’t know man.
Shain: That’s just strange
Shain: But it’s a big contraption.
Shain: It’s not a small thing right?
Shain: It’s like quite sizable
DM: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s quite sizable, yeah.
Shain: The thing in the car
Shain: Like, how…
Shain: Okay.
DM: But it’s not like you can actually see the umber stalled.
Aeryndel: You’re just carrying my whole, like…
DM: You just know that because you think and investigated it in Cast Wonderful Magic.
Shain: Yeah.
Shain: I, uh, I did it with Dragon.
Shain: I, uh, as
Shain: Arendelle gets on the cart, I put a handout to help
Solvar: Thank you for joining us today.
Shain: him up, and I carry him up here.
Caitlin: The second we’re back in the thing, by the way, I’m immediately dumping Sulvar out.
Shain: Um…
Shain: I’m gonna set him on the cart.
Shain: Well, um…
DM: Uh, it’s been like maybe 12 minutes, okay.
Shain: By the way…
Aeryndel: Uh, yeah.
Shain: And I… How long has it been since this has happened?
Shain: Since I’ve been a big guy?
Caitlin: At 14 minutes, I’m dumping Sulvar out of the bag.
Shain: Oh.
Solvar: Thank you so much for having me.
Shain: I’m gonna set… I’m gonna set…
Solvar: Good.
Shain: Aaron, go down.
Shain: You know those, uh, Umberstone things you and I took a look at a while ago?
Aeryndel: Have you ever mistaken your wife for your wife’s twin sister?
Shain: Looks like, uh, most of this, or whatever is inside, is comprised of the Umberstones.
DM: I’m sorry, pause.
DM: Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle?
Shain: Have you ever been beaten by a West Spaghetti Doodle?
DM: That’s what your voice says right now, bro.
Solvar: Bye-bye.
Solvar: Bye.
Aeryndel: That’s how it feels to drive a Ram.
Shain: Have you ever mistaken your wife for an F-150 Firestone?
Caitlin: You got confused and fucked her dad
DM: That’s how it feels to chew 5 gum.
Caitlin: That’s what
Caitlin: Thank you.
DM: That was Peek, thank you for that.
Shain: But yeah, Arendelle, um, there’s- oh, we’re loading a world map apparently, um…
Solvar: you
DM: I had to update the map now that you guys have run into problem number one.
Aeryndel: I don’t know.
Shain: Problem number one?
Shain: Okay, I’m scared.
Shain: So… yeah.
DM: Yeah.
Aeryndel: Um, Butter, quick question.
Aeryndel: They were giants, right?
DM: Specifically, they were wind giants.
Aeryndel: And…
Aeryndel: One was Frank.
Aeryndel: Did we ever get the other one’s name?
DM: You did not, you never asked.
Aeryndel: Damn.
Aeryndel: That’s sad, I should have asked.
DM: You should have.
Caitlin: Okay, dude, I should have made a let me be Frank joke.
DM: Would you like to just slight retcon
DM: so you get the other one’s name?
Aragorn: Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Aeryndel: If possible.
DM: Yeah, well, another one’s name is Harry.
Aeryndel: Harry and Frank.
Shain: Cheerio!
Aeryndel: I was, I was, I was afraid it was gonna be Harry and balls.
DM: Let me be frank, why you would have called for that so quick?
Aeryndel: You really should have told me!
Caitlin: I’m going to be frank.
Aragorn: I crawl back, so let me be free
DM: Possibly.
Aragorn: that
Shain: I just realized legend lore these guys probably has some significance in the
Shain: world right?
Shain: They’ve had to.
Shain: Let’s see
DM: So.
Shain: yeah I’ll wait I don’t know what can happen
DM: As you guys
DM: kind of
DM: continue
DM: going,
Shain: you
DM: I’m going to
DM: talk a little
DM: bit about
Aeryndel: So what’s happening?
DM: the
DM: future of
DM: Minecraft.
DM: continue going.
DM: Eventually the wind, even along the bridge, really picks up
DM: and it’s getting a little difficult to continue.
Aragorn: I’m going to go ahead and put this in the oven for about 15 minutes at 180 degrees Fahrenheit.
DM: Dragon, you just kind of
DM: realized that, you know, this could kind of be seen as one of those roadblocks
Shain: Thank you.
DM: that Frank was talking about and might be a good idea to go ahead and try to
Aeryndel: If he said he had to punch it a couple times, I’mma give it a couple of about 30% punches.
DM: get the gift functioning.
DM: Okay, as you just kind of punch it a couple times, the kind of black sphere on the inside
DM: just kind of ripples a little bit each time you do it before it kind of appears to charge
DM: up and shoots wind out from the top and creates a perfect barrier of wind for you guys.
Shain: Silence.
DM: Don’t ask how it actually works because it’s magic and you don’t need to know.
Caitlin: I guess he doesn’t know.
DM: But basically it’s kind of a barrier of wind.
DM: And you guys have no problem continuing on your journey.
DM: The wind completely subsides as you make your way through the bridge to the other side.
DM: And just like on the other side, there’s a little bit of a slant up to get back to the
DM: main road.
DM: you continue and head towards breaker.
Aeryndel: on travel I would like to inspect the rock I bought from the blacksmith heavily I want
DM: Is there anything you guys want to do now?
DM: Okay, go, uh, yeah, sure.
Aeryndel: to heavily go into it I want to I want to examine every single detail of it try to figure out its
Shain: I’ll help him.
DM: Define heavily.
Aragorn: Juice.
Aeryndel: origin see if it’s you know i mainly want to deduct if it’s from this planet like this earth
DM: Sure, yeah, go ahead and make an investigation, Jared.
Aeryndel: i want to know if this material came from the earth we’re standing on or if it came from maybe
Aeryndel: outer space
Aeryndel: i want to know if it’s a meteorite
Aeryndel: what investigation okay oh yeah since flex is also from a different you know world itself
Shain: Since I’m helping dragon, do I help him?
DM: Sure, that sounds like advantage to me.
Aeryndel: he might also have some clues to be able to work on.
Aeryndel: Okay.
Shain: I’ll look with you.
Shain: Do I…
Shain: I’ll give dragon an advantage.
Shain: I’m not even going to roll.
Shain: He’s got this.
Shain: Maybe, uh…
Shain: Dragon?
Shain: Do you…
Shain: What is your proficiency bonus now?
Aeryndel: Quick question, Butter.
Shain: Plus four?
Aeryndel: When I used my Luckies earlier,
Shain: Right?
Aeryndel: was that pre-Long Rest, or was that post-Long Rest?
Shain: Just in general.
Shain: The feat scales off a proficiency bonus, doesn’t it?
Shain: Or is it just three?
Shain: Oh, no, that’s new.
Shain: 2024.
DM: That was pre-Long Rest, because that was the night before.
Shain: My fault.
Shain: I’m sorry.
Aeryndel: Okay, I’m gonna use- I’m gonna use-
Aeryndel: uh, with what?
Aeryndel: just in general?
Aeryndel: yeah, with four
Shain: Am I confident that it’s not a Netheree stone?
Aeryndel: that’s good, uh
Aeryndel: cause I really want to understand this thing, I’m gonna go above and beyond, that’s a twenty-eight
Aragorn: Thank you.
DM: Okay, a 28.
DM: You are extremely confident that this is not a space rock.
DM: I’m sorry.
DM: It just simply isn’t.
DM: A solid 85%.
Shain: What if I legend lore it?
DM: You guys didn’t really have many unique stones that no longer exist.
DM: So as far as you can tell, it doesn’t appear to be that.
Aeryndel: Okay.
DM: You, you could legend lore it.
Shain: All right, I legend lore it, I’m just going to be honest.
DM: All righty.
Caitlin: Yeah, you legend lord it.
DM: As you legend lore it, huh, fantastic.
Shain: I’m legending it my lord.
Caitlin: Nothing.
Caitlin: He’s legending it, he’s legending it so good.
Shain: I’m legending it lore
DM: As you lore its legend.
DM: you realize that this is just completely raw adamantium or adamantine?
Shain: Hmm it’s just raw adamantium.
Shain: There’s nothing special about it
DM: no?
DM: i’m sorry let me um completely read you exactly what it this is the pure form of the
Shain: Huh
Shain: I see.
DM: hard jet black ferromagnetic ore known as adamantine adamantite from which the famous
DM: alloy adamantine is made.
DM: Adamantine blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Aeryndel: So, it’s a pure form of adamantite?
DM: Spherical pockets and hardened
DM: volcanic flows.
DM: It’s one of the hardest substances.
DM: It is black and sharp like obsidian.
DM: Which is
DM: exactly what I just said.
Caitlin: It’s black.
Shain: So this doesn’t…
Shain: So it’s the non-smelted version.
DM: Sorry.
Caitlin: You said black.
Aeryndel: First we mine, then we craft.
DM: Technically the official term is adamant, adamant.
DM: A-D-A-M-A-N-T.
DM: It’s the pure metal form.
Caitlin: Oh, actually.
Aragorn: Minecraft, that’s Minecraft!
Shain: So if you put it in a crafting table and you smelt, or sorry, if you put it in a furnace
DM: Here, I’ll send this to you, Dragon, so that you understand everything.
Shain: and you smelt it.
DM: Nothing’s getting lost in translation.
DM: Yeah, you most certainly would.
Caitlin: Technically, it’s better than methylene.
Shain: Then we cram.
Aragorn: Tom.
Aeryndel: So would I know what this is in terms of the scale of valuable metals in general?
Aeryndel: How good is it?
Shain: Pretty good.
DM: On a scale of 1 to 10, solid 9.73.
Aeryndel: So is it like below Mithril by like one tier?
Shain: you
DM: So technically, Mithril is a modifier, kind of, in a way.
Caitlin: That’s all.
Aeryndel: Because a couple of sessions ago you said Mithril was the best.
Caitlin: That was
Aeryndel: Hmm.
Aeryndel: Okay.
DM: It doesn’t normally, from my understanding, you don’t have an actual complete set of armor
Aeryndel: Gotcha.
Aeryndel: Okay, gotcha.
DM: made out of Mithril.
DM: use Mithril to enhance other sets of armor.
Caitlin: Butter’s trying to get you to make alloys.
DM: So that should be technically the strongest metal,
DM: but if you combined it with Mithril as well, then you have a stronger metal, if that makes sense.
DM: One’s a metal, one’s an alloy.
Aeryndel: So if I combine Adamant with Mithril, so if I combine this Blackrock with Mithril I can
DM: Yeah, make it, make an alloy, call it an afternoon, man.
DM: Well, you could already make a really good thing, but yes, you could make an even better
Aeryndel: make a really good fuckin’ thing.
Shain: I’m going to look at Arundel, you.
DM: thing.
Aeryndel: How much, would you say, is like, there?
Aeryndel: Like how much metal could I make with this, if I mixed it with mithril?
DM: It’s a relatively small piece from what you bought, like it could fit in your hand.
Aeryndel: Could it make a dagger?
DM: It’s enough probably to make a short sword.
Aeryndel: Ooh!
Caitlin: Let’s beat you to it by half a second, I was going to say lace your fingers with it.
DM: If you combine it with something else, then that’s obviously going to be more, depending
Shain: Or you could lace your arm or leg with it, and give it reinforcement structure.
DM: on what kind of ratios you go for.
Aeryndel: Wait.
Shain: I’m hearing you out.
Aeryndel: Can’t hear me out.
Aeryndel: The sword I got from Nighthawk.
DM: Yes, yes, it could be kind of freaking good.
Aeryndel: Could I lace it with that?
Aeryndel: Oh, that could be kinda fucking good.
Shain: I’m gonna get Arendelle, just towering over him, sitting next to him, like, I’m assuming
Aeryndel: Oh, I thought that I thought you were just happy to see me.
Shain: Amaryllis just holding this object in his hand and I like tapping on the
Shain: shoulder with my sausage finger well I am happy but not that way you got that
DM: The deep voice shade goes crazy.
Shain: spark in your eye you got that spark in your eye again what are you thinking
Aeryndel: So I’m thinking of putting this onto my sword.
Caitlin: He’s just a little Nighthawk, Celestial, right, he’s a Celestial Nighthawk of sorts.
Aeryndel: I melt it down, put a thin layer on my sword, and sharpen it.
Shain: You’re the craftsman, so…
Aeryndel: It would make its durability go up higher, and maybe even more deadlier.
Aeryndel: But first I’ll have to contact Nighthawk.
DM: No, that would be horrible.
Aeryndel: Who?
Shain: Sleshal…
Shain: It’s nothing.
Shain: So…
Shain: Ah, it’s nothing.
Aeryndel: I think you should kill yourself.
Shain: Caw-caw!
Shain: Wait, wait, it’ll be rawrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Aeryndel: Please tell me the crow is also debuffed by big voice.
Aeryndel: Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
DM: Yep.
Caitlin: Bye.
DM: Mm hmm.
Shain: okay with you dragon but if I okay if I bring my doha kahidron I’ve never had
Shain: animantine before or animantine or adamant I don’t think I was around the
Shain: city but it wasn’t like everywhere so what if I just see is there any
DM: Mm-hmm.
Aeryndel: Add a mant.
Shain: interaction between the doha kahidron and the animantine or animantine
Shain: anima- animating?
Shain: thank you okay I’m just checking cuz there I remember there was the material
DM: Yeah, because it appears so.
DM: And no.
Caitlin: Yeah it was the stones.
DM: You know what?
Shain: yeah how badly would I want it to mix mmm not necessarily that I wanted to do
DM: How badly would you want it to mix?
Aeryndel: No
DM: Like how badly would you want it to do something?
DM: Yeah.
Shain: something but more so like I remember I had some material and it was like trying
DM: Yeah, okay, like, so, so, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,
Shain: to push two magnets together.
Shain: I just don’t remember what that was.
Caitlin: It was the stones in the elevator when we went to see the fucking
Caitlin: lizard people.
Caitlin: It’s a completely different substance, folks, it’s a completely different substance entirely.
Shain: Was it the elevator or was it something different?
Aeryndel: No, no, this is this is adamant.
Shain: I know this anime.
Aeryndel: I’m talking about Iraq
Shain: I’m just
Shain: wondering if it has… yeah this is like something different.
Shain: I’m wondering if it
Shain: has the same push.
Aeryndel: Yeah, please.
Shain: I’m just wondering how many substances that interacts with
Aeryndel: Why don’t you just give you a massive hint?
Shain: though.
Shain: That’s what I’m curious about.
DM: Like, so you wouldn’t necessarily want it to do anything?
Shain: Not from my knowledge.
DM: Okay, then nothing happens.
Shain: Wait a second.
Shain: It’s not a will thing, is it?
Shain: I’m gonna experiment later.
Shain: I’ll just figure that out.
Shain: Probably nothing.
Shain: Nevermind.
Shain: Continue.
Shain: I don’t know.
Shain: If I’m just like sitting here and I just, and I stare into the box and I go like that
Aeryndel: You can’t have my rock.
DM: No.
Shain: and I look at it, is it gonna… is it gonna do something?
DM: Do you want it to do something?
Shain: Yeah!
Shain: I wanna make my dohecahedron bring me back home!
Caitlin: But don’t leave me here.
Aeryndel: It’s my rock.
DM: As you will this with all of your might and power and capabilities,
Aeryndel: I paid money for it.
Shain: Nothing happens…
Aeryndel: My rock Shane, I see that look in your eyes
DM: The stars swirl, but nothing happens.
Shain: What?
Shain: !
Shain: No, no, no, no!
Shain: No!
Shain: No.
Shain: Hang on.
Shain: No, it’s not that, it’s actually, uh, something different, I think you may have given me a
Aragorn: Thank you very much.
Shain: bright idea, Arendelle.
DM: No, it’s not that.
Shain: Hey, Arendelle, have you ever believed in something so hard it just exists?
Caitlin: It’s called the eradication of an inferior race.
Shain: Because I haven’t.
Aeryndel: Yes, I have it’s called the eradication of the Dark Elves I
Shain: Good, because I’m going to need that- listen, listen, I’m going to be honest with you, I
Aeryndel: I believed in it so much that I made it happen.
DM: Me when I vote.
Shain: I need you to teach me the ways of that willpower.
Aeryndel: Okay, answer me these few quick questions first.
Aeryndel: Did your comrades die right in front of you because it was your fault?
Shain: No, but my girlfriend, I think, did.
Shain: I don’t know.
DM: I was about to say, like, quite literally, yes.
Shain: Yeah, pretty much everyone, yeah.
Aeryndel: Do you want to take revenge on the people who took them from you?
Shain: If I can find out who that is, then I absolutely don’t care who it is.
Aeryndel: And you don’t care if you get hurt in the process or even die?
Shain: If they’re dead, I’m going down with them.
Aeryndel: All that, and only think of that.
Shain: But I rage.
Shain: I’m gonna use my rage class feature, and I’m gonna force the Dohecahedron to do something,
DM: Uh-huh.
DM: So just to make sure I understand exactly what you’re doing.
Shain: I don’t know.
Shain: I just I
Aeryndel: Force it into submission.
Aeryndel: Literally try making it submit to you.
Shain: Want to focus all the hatred and pain and psychotic like pathic things I have been happening to Shane and I want to pinpoint it and
Aeryndel: Don’t smile at me!
Shain: Shift the stars and move something
Aeryndel: Don’t smile at me!
Aeryndel: I’m listening, folks!
Shain: I’m channeling my pain
DM: you are essentially trauma dumping into your dodecahedra.
Shain: Yes.
DM: Is that correct?
Shain: Yes.
Shain: I just realized that there’s a whole other plane of existence in this.
Shain: Hang on.
Shain: It’s fine.
Shain: Let it happen.
Shain: If the people have to die, they’ll go down with me.
DM: And to be completely accurate here,
Aeryndel: Wait a second, wait a second, wait a second, wait a second, wait a second, wait a second.
DM: your exact statements were,
Shain: Yes, yes.
DM: I would get revenge on if I could just find out who did it.
Shain: Wish?
Caitlin: Fucks, fucks, you did it.
DM: Gotcha.
Caitlin: Fucks, don’t fucks, fucks, you did it.
Shain: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
DM: As you wish this with all of your mind, heart, and soul, and pure pain and agony, the stars
DM: inside the dodecahedron just begin to spin faster and faster as a kind of familiar kind
Aeryndel: Wait, wait, wait.
DM: of portal opens up.
DM: same type of portal that uh that um i can’t think of the name uh thank you trug trug used to portal
Caitlin: Please, for the love of God, tell me I see this.
Aeryndel: Holy shit.
Shain: We’re on the cart.
Aeryndel: Drug.
DM: in and out but this time uh hang on one second for the record yes everybody sees this this is not
DM: something he’s hallucinating um but this time instead of it like appearing in midair just kind
Aeryndel: Not again.
Shain: Oh
Aeryndel: Go in if left.
DM: of with a goblin popping out it just appears in front of you as if you could walk through it just
Caitlin: Can I?
Caitlin: OK, immediately it forces.
Shain: My I run through I don’t even say anything
Caitlin: If, okay, oh my god, oh my god, okay, if I hear him yell and I see this portal open
Shain: I’m just gonna be honest
DM: Now, it does not immediately close, the moment that he kind of steps through it.
Aeryndel: Does the portal stay open?
Shain: I-I-I yell
Aeryndel: I’ll choose to stay.
Shain: CAITLIN!
DM: Okay, you would get you would get the sense that there is not time to curb the cart.
Caitlin: from the Dodecahedron.
Shain: CAITLIN IT’S AMAZING
Caitlin: I am going to immediately break the cart.
Caitlin: I am curving the cart.
Caitlin: I like
Caitlin: literally this is all happening in the span of like 15 seconds.
Shain: IT’S SO AMAZING
Caitlin: I am.
Shain: I don’t know.
DM: You would get the sense that this is a, I have to jump in that portal now if I want
Caitlin: Okay.
Solvar: So
Aeryndel: I’m staying.
DM: to go.
Caitlin: Okay, then
Caitlin: I’m grabbing I’m if I’m sitting I’m sitting on the horse with Sylvar behind me, correct?
Aeryndel: I’ll try and pick up your rates.
Caitlin: I’m going to immediately move to the cart, I’m going to jump to the cart, I’m going to
Caitlin: grab Solvar by the shoulder, and we are going through the portal.
Caitlin: Solvar is coming with me whether they like it or not.
DM: Okay, now since we’re in a session here, slight metagame.
Solvar: Don’t worry then
Shain: …
DM: If you guys are doing this, no context, but you will need new characters.
DM: whether that be because you die or because you’re wrapping up your character arc very quickly,
Shain: What?
DM: you will need new characters.
DM: Are you sure this is the course of action you guys wish to do?
Caitlin: Yes.
Shain: Uh…
Caitlin: If this is home, yes.
Shain: Yes, but can I have retconned something to say maybe come with me?
Caitlin: Everyone?
DM: Uh, to who?
Shain: Just for the sake to the Arendelle everybody just yell it come with me
Aragorn: Yeah, I’m not going.
DM: I mean you you can you can yell that but that doesn’t mean they’re going to
Aeryndel: In my eyes, I think this is something that only people from that world should go into.
Shain: Yeah, right
Caitlin: I don’t think that would change those two.
Shain: No, I figured but
Shain: Yeah, because they did say whoever is there is literally going to be ripped apart within
Caitlin: I don’t think it would.
DM: Yeah
Caitlin: The past.
DM: Yes, but for the record, I said it didn’t close like immediately, but from the two times
Shain: the first couple days, so if this is…
Aeryndel: Even if you said come, I still need to watch over the cart, I still need to watch over
Shain: Dang it!
Shain: I wanted to say goodbye!
Shain: I didn’t think it was going to be goodbye!
Aeryndel: our belongings, I still need to.
Shain: Dang it.
Shain: I wanted to say goodbye.
Aeryndel: I. Wait, wait, butter.
Shain: I didn’t think it was a good thing to say goodbye.
Aeryndel: The portal opened.
Aeryndel: It only started to close when he entered, right?
Caitlin: I didn’t start to close right away.
Caitlin: If Flux opens the portal home, I’m going.
Aeryndel: If luck stayed out.
DM: that you saw kind of the how like Trunk went through the portals, it stayed open for like
Aeryndel: Shrug.
Aeryndel: It’s very fast.
DM: two or three seconds and then began to close relatively quickly.
Shain: But I don’t know what it is.
DM: So like just inherently
DM: if it works the same way you would know like the moment he goes that you have a couple seconds.
Aeryndel: Hold on.
Caitlin: And I’m taking Sylvar with me unless Sylvar fights back.
Shain: I don’t even know what’s through it.
Shain: That’s the thing.
Caitlin: Here’s, you’re right, Fawkes, but here’s the thing, it’s the closest thing we’ve had.
DM: you
Shain: Yeah, but I want to say goodbye.
Aeryndel: He’s got a point.
Aeryndel: You two should definitely go.
Aeryndel: It doesn’t matter.
Aeryndel: It does not matter.
Aeryndel: If you can get home, Arendelle will know that he succeeded.
Shain: Bro, fine.
Shain: I’m fine with this, but I am going to find a way for intergalactical telecommunication
Caitlin: Yep.
Shain: for you.
Aeryndel: And you got the mind to do it.
Shain: If this happens.
Shain: …
Aeryndel: You have the mind to do it.
DM: All right, okay.
Shain: no, no, you just-
Aeryndel: If there’s anyone who could do it, it’s you.
Shain: big shane runs through porto with extra tight
Shain: clothes on, appears on other side
Shain: appears on other side, it’s not even
Aeryndel: Man, I’m saying, if they go in, I’m assuming the horse goes with Nate, it just phases out
Shain: his world, it’s just like
Shain: it’s just something out of straight anime
Shain: birthday party
Shain: i’m here for the cake!
Shain: …
Shain: yeah, i’m down.
Shain: i’m done with this.
Caitlin: I’m going.
Caitlin: It will say it will vanish the second I step there.
Shain: Oh shit
Aeryndel: of existence then if I can clock this if I can I was gonna say if I can clock this
DM: Yep.
DM: I’ll let the cart stay to continue existing because you’ve modified it.
Aeryndel: too because I was some we’re going at a fast pace
Caitlin: Oh, actually, it lasts an hour, so I’ll keep going.
DM: Relatively, yeah, because there’s not enough time to stop.
Aeryndel: It moves you to a different plane, most likely, is what I’m thinking.
DM: So as the horse kind of disappears…
Caitlin: The horse also, the horse also, here’s the thing.
DM: I’m sorry you are you’re not clocked okay you’re not gonna be there you’re
Caitlin: The horse is not being controlled.
Caitlin: The horse will last another hour.
Caitlin: So because I’m not just gonna unless this breaks concentration unless this kills me then
Shain: Apparently.
DM: not gonna be here the moment you step through that portal your connection that
Shain: All right.
DM: horse is gone that horse completely ceases to exist magic does not continue
Caitlin: Fair enough
DM: through the interdimensional planes
Solvar: I guess I’m being drugged away.
Aeryndel: this I’m gonna try and grab hold of Andrew and Sylvar if Sylvar stays.
Caitlin: Well, I’m seeing if it’s like a
Caitlin: Uh, butter.
DM: I will let you have full control over this.
Caitlin: Um, it’s, yeah, yeah, well, it’s up to you, if you want to keep, okay, you’re going the
Solvar: That’s fine.
Shain: Apparently
Solvar: I reckon I’m coming with you, yeah.
DM: If you get pulled away, if you’re getting pulled into there, you will need a new character to continue session.
DM: Oh, it’s not concentration, it just exists.
Shain: What did I do?
Caitlin: left way.
Caitlin: Alright.
Solvar: Thank you.
Caitlin: Findsteed isn’t concentration.
Caitlin: It just lasts.
Caitlin: No, it just exists.
Caitlin: It also just… nope.
DM: I swore, am I wrong?
DM: Wow, okay, nevermind, the horse just chillaxes for a while longer.
Caitlin: Basically, oh my god, this horse will last until I summon a new horse.
DM: See, but that means that it must be tied to you magically somehow, some way.
Shain: For the sake of them, die.
Solvar: you
Caitlin: What?
DM: Because if it disappears, I’m sorry, the moment that, for the sake of logic, if it disappears
Aeryndel: of it.
Aeryndel: I said for the flair of it, let it go away.
DM: whenever you summon a new one, that means it must keep a constant natural connection
DM: to you, regardless of distance or mental power, which means that the moment that you completely
DM: lose connection to it, it should disappear.
DM: So yes, the moment he steps through the portal, the horse is gone.
Shain: Bye-bye.
Caitlin: Is there?
Caitlin: Do I, I turn around and I have to see, do I have a split second to do something as I
Caitlin: enter the portal, or no?
DM: Depends on what you’re trying to do.
DM: Like a split second?
DM: A second and a half?
Caitlin: No, I want to grab Sylvar, drag Sylvar through the portal, I want to, as I’m going through
DM: Does he get a Lord Dump?
DM: Which one?
Caitlin: I want to turn and look at Andrew and like, nod, like respectfully, and toss him my sword.
Aragorn: Oh shit, okay.
Shain: That’s so true.
Caitlin: I want to toss Andrew my flametongue, because I have, I still have the other ghost sword.
DM: Sure.
Aragorn: Yeah, yeah, I’ll grab it.
Caitlin: I want to toss Andrew my flametongue as like a, as like a, um, I’m, it’s Andrew, I don’t
Aeryndel: A gesture to that one time we stole your sword?
Aeryndel: HAHA
Aragorn: Yeah, no, I got it.
Caitlin: know if you would read this, but this is a, I have your weapon.
Caitlin: It feels fair.
Caitlin: You have mine.
Caitlin: I’m fine.
Caitlin: And that’s all I want to do no words.
Shain: …
Aragorn: Wagon, you know what I can do?
Caitlin: Just a simple like I will not and toss my blight in sector
DM: All righty, um, on that note, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay,
Aeryndel: um
Solvar: I’m going to stop sharing my screen.
Aeryndel: what
Aragorn: I have three swords now.
Aeryndel: NO
Aeryndel: um who said it’s going in the mouth butter if i can clock before before session ends
Caitlin: Do not put the fire one in your mouth would be my recommendation
Aragorn: Sunburn.
Aragorn: HAHAHA
Aragorn: It’s going in my ass.
Aragorn: Three swords time.
Aeryndel: i just want to be known as this is going on i if i can clock that that portal is going
Aeryndel: to close soon, and I can probably sense that that horse is gonna go too.
Aeryndel: I just want to brace myself and anyone who’s close to me, which would probably just be
Aeryndel: Andrew.
DM: OK.
Shain: Could
Aeryndel: And Lieutenant Dan!
Shain: Can I- can I- can I do run just so I don’t feel like a complete terrible person?
DM: And Lutonic Land.
Shain: Can I just give Arendelle a really quick hug before I went through?
DM: Of course.
Caitlin: No, I, if I, if I have the opportunity, if he’s hugging, I want to say something, Andrew,
DM: You know what?
DM: Slight retcon.
DM: All right.
DM: You have enough time to stop the cart, because he’s taking a couple seconds to hug, okay?
Solvar: Okay.
DM: So you pull over, you stop the cart, you give a hug, you hand over the sword in respect as you, all three, enter the portal at the same time.
Aeryndel: You
Caitlin: if that’s okay.
Caitlin: I literally just wanna- I wanna hand the sword to you, Ander, and just-
DM: You
Shain: You’re not making this easy!
Solvar: Bye.
Aragorn: Oh, I will.
Caitlin: I wanna- I wanna hold- I wanna hand the sword over to Ander, and just-
Caitlin: I’m sorry I could never be your replacement, but
Caitlin: I know that that person will come, and for the time being, keep
Aeryndel: I don’t know what I’m doing with my life, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know
Caitlin: fighting the good fight.
Caitlin: Can I- Can I-
Aragorn: Trust me, I will.
Caitlin: Can I look at Flux and, like, give a handshake and be like
Caitlin: I know we started this on opposite sides of the spectrum, but promise me we won’t find
DM: And then the moment you realize, wait a darn second, I have no idea where this portal goes.
Shain: I’m gonna- you see Shane, like, crying, yeah, and I give you a- yeah, pretty much, and then
Caitlin: each other on opposite sides of the battlefield after this.
Caitlin: We got her.
Caitlin: Nope, we got her.
Aeryndel: As he’s going, I just say farewell.
DM: I shouldn’t be torn up.
Shain: I give you a handshake, and I’ll nod, and we go through.
DM: All right.
Caitlin: Yeah, did we just die on impact?
DM: All righty.
Shain: I wave and I say, farewell.
DM: On that note,
DM: on that note, session is going to end.
DM: However, there’s a couple things
DM: you have to discuss now.
DM: First of all, where that portal goes.
DM: No, so there’s a couple ways
DM: that it could end.
Aeryndel: I have a question, two questions actually.
DM: and so I’m leaving it up to you guys.
DM: Did you guys want your own side session to
DM: kind of go through that and experience it?
DM: Or did you just want to know kind of
DM: what would happen?
DM: I’ll give you a second to think about that while I tell you
Shain: Noice.
Shain: Um.
DM: another thing.
DM: Next week I will not be here on Wednesday.
DM: I have a dentist
DM: appointment so I so there’s no session on this coming Wednesday.
Solvar: I also kind of want to know the story, I’m curious.
Aeryndel: First one’s not really a question.
Aragorn: But it’s like, shit, I gotta make a session.
Aeryndel: I am so willing to watch Nate and Glow and Fluxy do their session.
DM: I’m so glad, because I was very concerned that you guys just wanted to go ahead and
Aeryndel: I’m so- I’d be a spectator in this bitch.
Caitlin: I have no qualms at all, I am so down for that.
Aeryndel: I want to follow that story because that-
Shain: Thank you.
Aeryndel: that- I- I clocked in here.
Aeryndel: Um, I don’t care if I don’t get to play, I don’t care anything,
Solvar: Yeah
Aeryndel: I want to be a spectator for that shit.
Aeryndel: So if you do it, let me know.
Aeryndel: So, I, like…
Solvar: Yeah, I want to know
DM: wrap up and like you guys are done with it but if you guys want to actually
DM: experience it that’s fantastic because I guarantee I wrote this story literally
DM: over a year ago when I created this campaign because I based a lot of the
Caitlin: We’re doing a watch-in.
Shain: that
DM: basics on your character Shane so a lot of the a lot of lore dumps will
DM: definitely happen
Aeryndel: Next thing, I’m assuming after their mini-arc is done, that’s when we’re gonna transition
DM: Uh, we could.
Aeryndel: into the one-shot?
Aeryndel: Or is the one-shot not done yet, and you still need more time to cook?
DM: So here’s the thing.
DM: Since we won’t have session next week, I mean, that should give me enough time to get it
DM: to the point of playable because I’m pretty close.
Aeryndel: Unless you also have the session with Nate in Flex and Glow.
DM: Now that being said, since I said I wrote this story over a year ago, the part that
Aeryndel: Or multiple.
Aeryndel: It might be two sessions, I don’t know.
Aeryndel: Oh, cool.
DM: you guys are about to enter is already done.
DM: So it can literally be played at any point.
DM: That’s not even prep I have to do.
DM: So did you guys want to just wait for 14 days from now?
Shain: Silence.
Solvar: Just not Monday.
DM: Or is there a different time that you guys would want to do session that’s non-standard
DM: time or what’s up?
DM: I mean this is mainly going to be on Flexi, Nate, and Glo, because I mean, we already
Aeryndel: I’m- I’m pretty much good with any day, other than…
Shain: Yeah, I can’t do Monday anyway, yeah, Monday I can’t either.
Aeryndel: Uhhh…
Caitlin: Today you’re on time, boys, good for you, yeah, good as it was twice in a row.
Aeryndel: Yeah.
DM: know that you and I are free, because I’m free anyway.
Aeryndel: Not Monday.
Shain: This also brings up the question that I have because I, you know, I’m not always on time
Shain: every time or even all the time.
DM: you
Shain: So, well, a couple exceptions.
Aeryndel: And there he was!
Aeryndel: He was here before Andrew!
Shain: It’s like 20% of the time.
Aeryndel: Andrew slept in!
Shain: But basically, the only reason why I’m late
Shain: is because there’s practice at night.
Shain: Now, one, I could try and move practice,
Shain: but they’re all fully grown adults
Shain: with 50 year old people, right?
Aeryndel: Is it practice every night?
Shain: So it’s a little tricky every Wednesday night.
Aeryndel: Oh.
Shain: So that’s what takes me a while to get back.
Aeryndel: Is there different days?
Shain: So what I was going to say was, if it doesn’t work, that’s fine.
Shain: I can figure out something, but like, for instance, if, uh, I don’t know what your
Shain: guys is like specifically Nate, Andrew, and glow, because you three have, I don’t
Shain: know your schedules as well, but like a Saturday or a Sunday in like the
Caitlin: That’s going to work best for us anyway, like Saturday, Sunday, just like a weekend.
Shain: afternoon to evening time, I am completely and utterly free basically from like one.
Solvar: Saturday’s fine, Sunday not so much.
Shain: Like what at that time?
Aragorn: I
Shain: Got you.
DM: What about you, Andrew?
Shain: The one caveat, the one caveat, yeah, no, no, that’s fine.
Aeryndel: By evening tonight, what hours are you thinking, Flux?
DM: So Saturday, Andrew, what’s it like working with you?
Aragorn: Mean that should be good with me.
Aragorn: I don’t think I’m doing anything on Saturdays Mark conflicts
Shain: So what I, well, from, so I’m technically, once I get home, Julie has work and I’m free
Shain: basically from 1, well, more like 12.30, 1 o’clock until about 6, 6.30.
DM: So, we could, I mean we could, if this works for you guys, probably like a good 2 o’clock
Aeryndel: So, we’d have D&D between 1-6, somewhere in that range.
Shain: Which is, I’m
Shain: already at the house anyway, I don’t do anything but sit here at that time.
Shain: Or like 1 to 7.
Shain: Basically the caveat is, I have to be able to get off at nighttime, essentially.
Shain: Like
Shain: later night time.
Aeryndel: It doesn’t work for Andrew.
DM: seems best in my book, because I personally, no.
Aragorn: I work Saturdays it has to be after 4 preferably at like 5
Aeryndel: Yeah.
DM: Oh, right, after four.
Shain: I can check with Julia too,
Shain: cause I don’t think it’s like too big of a deal
Shain: if it’s a little running into like the nighttime,
Shain: but it’s just a matter of like,
Shain: I want to be able to spend time with her at nighttime.
Shain: So that’s the main thing.
Aeryndel: Five to eight, yeah.
Shain: Cause she gets, that’s the only time I got.
DM: OK, so let’s just, how about this?
Shain: Like 4 p.m.
DM: Does Saturday evening-ish, late afternoon, at like 5 o’clock to 8-ish, does that work for pretty much everybody except for Flux that has to maybe possibly work something out?
Aragorn: That should
Shain: or 5 p.m.
Aeryndel: That’ll work for me.
Shain: has to confirm.
Aragorn: Good, yeah.
Shain: I’ll figure that out, and if that works then that would be utterly awesome
DM: Because that would be so much better for me too, because for the record, I want it to be known, the only reason why I am completely awake right now is because I went to sleep so early yesterday and slept in late.
Shain: for me.
Shain: And you didn’t have any headache stuff from my knowledge.
Aeryndel: It’s on my days off.
DM: So, if we could just push the Saturday, that would definitely be preferable.
Aragorn: There.
Aeryndel: So weekends will just be easier for everyone.
Shain: I think so, yeah.
Aeryndel: Okay
DM: As far as, if that’s the new date, as far as next session for you guys aside thing,
DM: I guess, just let me know when, should we just schedule it for, I’m just thinking, like,
Shain: I’m ready to do any time.
Caitlin: Next weekend is not going to work for me, but I think we’re good.
Aeryndel: You want to do it this Saturday
DM: I mean technically we could do this Saturday or we could do the 13th or like what?
Shain: I say if we can get it on.
Aeryndel: So, yeah, we can figure out their session on a different day.
Shain: I was going to say we could just get it over with.
DM: What?
Caitlin: No, I’m saying that I’m saying next weekend,
Solvar: I won’t be here on Saturday.
Caitlin: like if we are trying to do next weekend, that’s not going to work.
Caitlin: This coming weekend is fine.
Caitlin: Next weekend will not work.
DM: Okay, yeah, you just figure that out, let me know, let us know in the group chat and
Solvar: I’m in Greensboro that day.
Caitlin: That’s right.
Solvar: Yep.
Caitlin: I forgot about that.
Solvar: Yeah.
Shain: Well regardless, I will confirm to see like five to eight-ish.
Caitlin: Okay, I missed something.
Shain: Yes, sir.
Shain: Yeah, yessir.
DM: we can figure out stuff from there.
DM: Okay, so that’s pretty much everything except for regular campaign stuff.
DM: Of course, we will probably transition to the one-shot, probably, um, after.
Caitlin: What is a one-shot?
Caitlin: Why are we doing a one-shot?
Caitlin: What is the one-shot related to?
Caitlin: I clearly missed a chapter somewhere.
DM: Oh, I’m sorry, Nate.
DM: Have you not been, like, informed at all?
Shain: Oh, your DM-bot is still recording.
Solvar: No.
Caitlin: No.
Aeryndel: There hasn’t been much, to be fair, there hasn’t been much info out.
DM: Uh, I had a very, very fun idea for a one-shot, uh, and I really wanted to do it.
DM: And everybody else kinda just said great, and so I just kinda presumed.
Caitlin: I- I don’t- I don’t have a problem- I don’t have a problem with it at all.
Caitlin: I’m just-
Caitlin: I’ve- This is the first time hearing of it.
DM: Okay, okay, sorry.
DM: Yes, one shot.
DM: Yeah, yeah, there has not been much info out.
Caitlin: Yeah, is this related to the campaign?
DM: I do not at all have a, like, um…
Aeryndel: I’m still learning about it as we speak.
Shain: Is your DML still recording?
DM: Da-da-da-da-da-da.
Aeryndel: I would assume the idea of a one-shot is to play new characters that are not main characters,
Aeryndel: some extra fun and do a more linear story and have a more linear experience.
DM: So basically, here’s the situation.
Shain: Straightforward ending.
Caitlin: Is this completely unrelated?
Caitlin: place.
DM: I decided it would be a fantastic idea for me to watch somebody else play D&D, which
DM: immediately gave me a whole slew of inspiration.
DM: And I want to try in a slightly different DMing-like way, because this campaign is very
Aragorn: Basically, D&D book one-shot prep thing.
Aeryndel: This is a beta test.
DM: much do whatever the crap you want and I adapt the story around you.
DM: I kind of
DM: wanted to try an actual more linear type story.
Shain: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
DM: Not like Railroad-y.
DM: I don’t like
DM: Railroad-y.
DM: But a more kind of pushes you to the right answer type thing.
DM: And I had a very very interesting idea for a one-shot.
Aeryndel: Same genre.
DM: As far as does it
DM: take place in Crystalis or not, you don’t know.
DM: But all of the same basic homebrew
DM: rules and everything are still in play because that makes my life easier.
Caitlin: Do we need to make characters for this?
DM: So yes,
Caitlin: Are we going to need those by next session?
DM: if you want, it’s not gonna be next session.
DM: Next session will be your guys’s
Solvar: Bye-bye.
DM: thing, but the session after which we will schedule at that point.
DM: We just
DM: don’t know what anybody’s plans look like.
DM: And it can always be delayed.
Aeryndel: Well, I think the idea to do the one-shot is we’re just looking for a good place where
DM: It’s
DM: It’s not a big deal.
Aeryndel: we are in a stopping point, like a pause point for the main campaign.
Shain: OK, as of this session.
Aeryndel: This also gives you guys times to flush out your new characters.
DM: Because I don’t want to switch back and forth.
Caitlin: Is this one shot going to be multi-session or is this one campaign?
DM: I want to go through the whole one shot.
DM: And I have no idea how long it’s going to take
DM: because sometimes you guys are quick,
DM: sometimes you guys are slow.
DM: So I have no idea.
DM: It’s probably going to be multiple sessions
DM: because you guys are…
Aeryndel: I would assume 1-3.
DM: A, I don’t write small stories,
DM: and B, you guys aren’t necessarily slow players.
Caitlin: Okay, what do we, do we know anything about this, like location, time span, level, anything?
Aeryndel: I would assume it’s going to be around 1-3, or maybe like the 1-4 range, which is still
Shain: There’s a whole thing that buttered something.
DM: Something like that.
Aeryndel: very good.
Aeryndel: Yes.
Aeryndel: Yes.
Caitlin: Okay, Flux, that whole thing, that butter scent, I don’t have.
DM: I…
DM: No, I haven’t sent it to anybody else yet, because it’s not done.
Shain: I know you didn’t.
Shain: I know.
Shain: Well, you could also do it too, is if you wanted to make it like a multi-shot instead
Aeryndel: He hasn’t sent it out.
Aeryndel: I’ve seen it.
Aeryndel: It’s really fucking cool.
Aeryndel: Yeah.
DM: It’s not done by any means.
Shain: of a one-shot.
Shain: We could, like, after whatever happens with this, we could just do that for a little bit.
Aeryndel: I mean, that’s kind of the idea, I think.
Shain: I don’t know.
Shain: I mean, we don’t have to stay on there for a year and a half, but no.
Aeryndel: Of course, I don’t want this to take precedence over the main campaign, I kind of just want
Caitlin: What do we know level just so I can start planning.
Aeryndel: this to be like a couple of sessions.
Aeryndel: Have fun.
Aeryndel: Just have fun.
Aeryndel: I’m going to be playing a rogue, that’s what I know.
Shain: Mm-hmm
Caitlin: care.
Aeryndel: Um, as you’re looking that up, I have a serious question for you, Flux.
Shain: Okay
Shain: 2016 man
DM: Basically, no.
DM: If I can pull this up real quick, I don’t know why it’s fighting me.
Aeryndel: At the beginning of today’s session, did you have any idea that it would end that way?
Shain: No.
Shain: I did the dragon.
Shain: I did that off of the whim, because I thought I was forged from
Shain: Critical Role for a second.
Aeryndel: As soon as you started asking me questions on how to focus on that willpower, I gave
Shain: Just for a second.
Shain: And I was like, hmm, I don’t know.
Shain: What if
Shain: I was a barbarian and I wanted to rage?
Shain: And I’m like, no.
Shain: No, that’d be more like Grog.
Shain: Yeah, this is funny and then I saw
Aeryndel: you the genuine answers of what I was doing for the war in Thalassseril, and then I saw
Shain: Yeah, yeah, I saw
Aeryndel: Butter Smirk kick in, and I was like, wait a second, he’s onto something.
