[00:00:00] Speaker A: Guess what? Pork Fried Dice is not on Patreon, despite all of our in session jokes about it. [00:00:06] Speaker B: Nope. We're on Ko Fi. You can find [email protected] supportpfd we just. [00:00:13] Speaker A: Wanted to make it super confusing for all our listeners. [00:00:17] Speaker B: What else is new? [00:00:18] Speaker A: Yay. [00:00:21] Speaker B: You're listening to the show about Eldritch Burpees. It's Pork Fried Dice. I'm Eric, and I'm the dungeon master. [00:00:33] Speaker C: I'm Abby and I play Rafina. [00:00:36] Speaker D: I'm Alex and I play Batwack. [00:00:39] Speaker A: I'm KT and I play Will. [00:00:42] Speaker E: I'm Adam and I play Roscoe. [00:00:47] Speaker B: Hold onto your haversacks. Let's roll. [00:00:54] Speaker A: I'm not asking about your genitalia, dusqueen. I'm asking just kind of like, what's the shape of the situation? Just because I want to be able to describe the magnificence that we've encountered. [00:01:08] Speaker F: Maybe it would be fun to have all of you draw what you imagined. [00:01:25] Speaker A: I love that, actually. I love that. [00:01:34] Speaker F: I love it look like under water. [00:01:40] Speaker A: Does she really say that? [00:01:41] Speaker B: Sure. [00:01:42] Speaker A: Okay, well, could you see it if we drew it? How many. How small of a thing can you perceive? [00:01:52] Speaker F: As long as you hold it over my eye, I can see. [00:02:03] Speaker A: Is this your only eye? [00:02:05] Speaker F: Yes. [00:02:06] Speaker A: You have one eye, so. [00:02:09] Speaker F: Okay, no more hints. [00:02:13] Speaker A: Oh, I wasn't trying to get a hint. I was more like. Okay, all right, never mind. Okay, I will have everyone draw that. Sure. Or unless everyone can just hear that. I guess everyone can hear it. She just speaks really loudly so everyone can hear that, at least. Her side of the conversation. Yeah. All right, everybody start drawing. Okay. [00:02:40] Speaker C: This will be fun. [00:02:41] Speaker B: All right, we're going to take a break. Oh, everybody's going to the bathroom, and you got to do a sketch. Sorry. [00:02:47] Speaker A: Quick sketch. Okay, I'll do it. All right. Kind of, like, greenish. Come here. Oh, my God. How cute. Kind of greenish. Eric, look at this. [00:02:58] Speaker B: Let me see. [00:02:59] Speaker A: That's so cute. Conan, is that little sand castle? I didn't see what that said. [00:03:04] Speaker D: It was on the. [00:03:05] Speaker A: You took it from me before I could even look at it. [00:03:07] Speaker B: It's like, stuff underwater. [00:03:09] Speaker A: Carl on it, like barnacles and stuff. [00:03:12] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:03:14] Speaker A: That's so smart. That's so cool. I love all the little people. That's amazing. Conan, can we share that with everybody? Love you. I love you. Thanks for drawing that for me. You're welcome. I love you so much. Yeah, he's definitely an artist. [00:03:38] Speaker B: So cutie, cutie booty. [00:03:41] Speaker A: He is a cutie booty. [00:03:43] Speaker B: Good Night. [00:03:45] Speaker A: Thank you for drawing something that was really cool. [00:03:48] Speaker B: Good night. [00:03:51] Speaker A: Forever. [00:03:53] Speaker D: I hope I sent it to you. [00:03:55] Speaker C: Eric, and not to some other Eric, Brian. [00:03:59] Speaker A: Oh, no, the whole world knows now. I just got a news article that said Social Security number. [00:04:09] Speaker C: Yeah, that's right. The Dusk Queen has a tattoo on her that has his social included. I'm always the last one to see these things, so I'm sure you guys have already seen this one. In fact, even Alex saw this before I did. But have you seen the Saturday Night Live skit with Ryan Gosling as Beavis and Butthead? [00:04:29] Speaker B: Yes. [00:04:29] Speaker A: Yes. [00:04:32] Speaker C: And they're cracking up while it's happening. It was really great. [00:04:37] Speaker A: Well, Ryan Gosling, I have to say, I really, really like him. And I never. When I was younger, I didn't really, like, understand why everyone was so obsessed with him, but he's obviously lovely and hilarious. [00:04:47] Speaker B: Yes. [00:04:48] Speaker A: But, man, he broke up in every sketch he was in, though. He cracked up in every single one. He was not able to hold it together for anything. Yes. [00:04:57] Speaker C: I wonder how many takes he had to do in the Barbie movie. It was probably very expensive for them. [00:05:04] Speaker A: Whoa. Oh. Oh. I feel like this isn't fair. I'm seeing them because you have them here, right? [00:05:08] Speaker B: Oh, that opens separately. [00:05:10] Speaker A: Sorry, I just didn't want to mess anything. [00:05:12] Speaker B: You can. [00:05:13] Speaker A: I don't know what it was. [00:05:14] Speaker C: So are you going to, like, talk about them on the. On the show? [00:05:16] Speaker B: Yeah, of course we are. [00:05:17] Speaker D: Are you going to show us? [00:05:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:05:19] Speaker A: Yeah. We just have to guess what? Each other. [00:05:21] Speaker B: No, I just log off, you never hear from me again. Finally got what I wanted. What the fuck? Oh, it's all been a ruse. All right, welcome back. [00:05:34] Speaker A: One of these very specifically weird drawings. [00:05:36] Speaker B: From us returning to the Thunderdome. Okay. All right, so let's see. So we're back from our break. Homework has been completed. [00:05:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:05:50] Speaker B: Adam, I turned it first. You did? You're that. [00:05:57] Speaker A: Congratulations. Good job. [00:05:59] Speaker C: Because I'm. I'm a very sloppy artist. [00:06:03] Speaker A: It's gonna be amazing. I cannot wait. [00:06:06] Speaker B: Abby's a little. [00:06:07] Speaker C: I hope I get an A. [00:06:08] Speaker A: And if it isn't perfect, we all are gonna be so disappointed in you. [00:06:15] Speaker C: I hope so. [00:06:16] Speaker B: Let's start with Abby's, then. [00:06:18] Speaker A: Wait. Yeah. What would she prefer? [00:06:21] Speaker C: Oh, okay, I'll describe it. So we have the eyeball, of course. And what our eyelashes are, what appear to be flowers and trees and bushes on the island. That's how the mouth got hidden, though. I think I forgot to draw the bushes around the mouth. Dang it. And then underneath Is then this is Rafina. Of course, Rafina is imagining that there's a lot of jellyfish, like, bubbly, frilly stuff to help keep her afloat. [00:06:52] Speaker A: Ye. [00:06:52] Speaker C: Near the top and at the very bottom is, of course, one big sock. Because Rafina loves socks and believes every creature has a sock. At least one sock. [00:07:01] Speaker A: Let us see this. Just a sock. That's amazing. Oh, my God. That's so cute. I love it. And the jelly guys. [00:07:11] Speaker E: Big sock. [00:07:12] Speaker A: It is a big sock. [00:07:13] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:07:15] Speaker A: So she's like, does the sock get to. Does the sock propel it at all or is it just hanging there? [00:07:21] Speaker C: Okay, so the. The floaty stuff, the frilly stuff is the. The flotation. And then the sock is what actually moves us along the bottom. [00:07:30] Speaker A: It's like a wind sock, but it's a water sock. It's using some kind of under the water current. Yeah. [00:07:39] Speaker C: Yes, exactly. The jellyfish stuff is sort of invisible, so you can't really see that it's filling up the sock. But that's how we are. Very slowly, without realizing. [00:07:49] Speaker A: Anemone. I just saw for the first time an anemone moving, swimming. Have you ever seen that? They're so weird. And it kind of reminds me of this maybe not, because, you know, it's an anemone with all the anemone tentacles. And then it's just kind of like a mushroom bottom. And it just. It, like where, where, where, like it oscillates all the way back and forth and just swims away like that. Like flops like a. So, so cool dong through the water, I guess, is the only comparison I can make. [00:08:22] Speaker B: All right, kt, you're next. [00:08:24] Speaker A: Oh, okay. [00:08:25] Speaker B: Do you want me to show them first? [00:08:26] Speaker A: So I want. The first one is the yellow one. [00:08:29] Speaker B: The colorful one. [00:08:30] Speaker A: The colorful one. [00:08:30] Speaker B: You want me to show it now? [00:08:31] Speaker A: Yeah, that's fine. Okay, so this is what I pictured when we were just, like, playing just now. Just like it's kind of squiddish shaped and. Oh, and I had the unfair advantage of. I just had asked Eric, are the lips. And nobody heard this. I said, are the lips like the same sandy color as the rest of her body? And he said they're slightly pinker. So that's why my lips are pink. That's the only. Otherwise I would have done it yellow if I hadn't had that extra information. [00:09:00] Speaker C: Interesting. [00:09:00] Speaker A: So she's kind of sandy colored all over, and she looks kind of squiddy. But then the other thing is, like I said, I've been. I've been contemplating this monster for the past a couple weeks or however long it's been because I had to write the recap. And like, in my head I go. I went. You know what? Eric probably did this. And this is the drawing that I just did in like two seconds. [00:09:23] Speaker C: It's amazing. [00:09:24] Speaker A: Like just an eyeball with a little mouth, but then it's just feet that are just like walking. [00:09:28] Speaker C: Oh my gosh. [00:09:29] Speaker A: Like. Like long, slow, underwater. [00:09:31] Speaker C: Freaking that. [00:09:32] Speaker A: Like. [00:09:32] Speaker C: So which one did Will draw? [00:09:35] Speaker A: Oh, I probably the squiddy or one. Because he's. Yeah, I feel like he's always like picturing things that he's eaten or like seen eaten. So he's not like picturing something. I don't know. But it also. This mouse. I don't know. [00:09:52] Speaker C: Yes. Yeah. [00:09:53] Speaker A: Maybe that's what his brain did, is go from the squid to suddenly like, oh, no. What is down there? Is there a massive, like, situation down there that we shouldn't just be discussing? Like, we don't know. What kind of cloaca does this thing have? What kind of Mo. I just also remembered Mo rubbing his cloaca against the. The glass in the. Yeah, whoever made that. Was that. You made that? Oh, geez Louise. [00:10:23] Speaker D: All right. [00:10:25] Speaker A: Yay. Awesome, fun exercise. [00:10:27] Speaker B: All right, which one's next in my list? Ah, don't look. This one is Adam. Do you want me to show it first? [00:10:37] Speaker A: You got it. Because I just saw it. I just saw it. [00:10:40] Speaker E: Yeah, just show it. [00:10:42] Speaker A: I thought it was share. It's hard for me to tell. It looks the same. Cuz he just shows the picture here. I love this. It's like a. A bird, a chicken on the bottom. [00:10:51] Speaker C: It's like Yoshi. [00:10:55] Speaker E: Yoshi duck. [00:10:58] Speaker A: Oh my God. Is that hair? What is the yellow on the back or somebody peeing in the water? Okay, it's brown. Nice. Oh, my God. I would love that if it's wearing a crown. [00:11:09] Speaker B: I love the teeth. [00:11:10] Speaker E: So it's what we think is its mouth is actually a nostril. I love that it talks out of its nostril. [00:11:19] Speaker A: I love that it has gills too. I love the gills, but I also love the really gapped teeth. It looks like one of those. This from that Plants versus zombies Zombie. [00:11:31] Speaker B: I think it kind of looks like a beaver's teeth. [00:11:33] Speaker A: Oh, that's because that's what you're doing today. [00:11:36] Speaker C: I like the gills. [00:11:38] Speaker A: Yeah, me too. I love it. [00:11:41] Speaker C: Very accurate. [00:11:41] Speaker A: Yay. [00:11:42] Speaker E: Look at those tiny little legs. [00:11:45] Speaker B: I know. [00:11:45] Speaker A: That's why I thought it was a little like a little chicken. [00:11:48] Speaker B: Little chicken. [00:11:50] Speaker A: So cute. [00:11:51] Speaker C: Very cute. [00:11:51] Speaker A: I love how alarm. [00:11:56] Speaker E: And that's not a tongue, it's a dick. [00:11:59] Speaker B: Oh, okay. [00:11:59] Speaker A: Sure. Yeah. [00:12:01] Speaker B: Okay. And then finally I figured. Mr. Moss. [00:12:08] Speaker D: Oh my God. [00:12:09] Speaker A: A chalkboard. One different. [00:12:13] Speaker B: All right, step us through it. [00:12:14] Speaker E: Holy shit. [00:12:16] Speaker G: Holy shit. [00:12:17] Speaker E: Alex. What the fuck? [00:12:22] Speaker D: It's a whole ecosystem. [00:12:24] Speaker A: Oh, my. This is amazing. [00:12:27] Speaker B: This is the origin story of Rapture from Bioshock. [00:12:31] Speaker A: Oh my God. And it also has a sock. [00:12:34] Speaker E: Underwater drive in movie theater. [00:12:37] Speaker C: I think that might be a mukluk. [00:12:39] Speaker A: Yeah, I know. [00:12:39] Speaker D: I was like, yeah, it's like a. It's like a winter boot, but it's, you know, it's waterproof. [00:12:46] Speaker A: That's amazing. Yeah, it's waterproof and it's all the way at the bottom of the ocean. That's amazing. [00:12:52] Speaker B: Who's driving it? [00:12:53] Speaker A: Yeah, it's a submarine. [00:12:56] Speaker E: There's a little person in there. That's interesting. [00:13:00] Speaker D: That's the digestive system. No, I don't know. [00:13:02] Speaker A: Oh, I was like, is that a flag? But it's a periscope. Is there a periscope? [00:13:05] Speaker C: Probably. It's gut bacteria is driving it. [00:13:09] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh my God. That's amazing. [00:13:12] Speaker B: And then there's the Daily Planet. [00:13:14] Speaker A: Wow. [00:13:15] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:13:15] Speaker B: Hanging off of its ass. [00:13:16] Speaker A: Hanging off. The helicopter's trying to land where we get our news. An alien animal shits in the ocean and we just consume it. We're like, what is. [00:13:24] Speaker C: Wait, is that a tongue sticking out at the top? [00:13:26] Speaker A: Yes. Yes. [00:13:27] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:13:28] Speaker A: That's why, you know, it's the mouth. [00:13:29] Speaker B: Amazing. [00:13:30] Speaker A: Cuz otherwise. What is that? [00:13:34] Speaker D: That's just the nose. [00:13:35] Speaker C: I thought it was an armchair. [00:13:39] Speaker A: Oh, that's incredible. That's so funny. I love the helicopter. It's got to have a helicopter. It's got to have something airborne in. In. [00:13:47] Speaker C: There's so many. [00:13:49] Speaker D: The underwater drive in movie theater is the mouth. No. I don't know. [00:13:55] Speaker C: I don't get it. [00:13:56] Speaker B: And just for legibility sake, I'll share Conan so you can see it a little better. [00:14:01] Speaker A: That' cute, right? Like, what are those big old legs? Like, what's that on the top? Did he explain what that's on the top? [00:14:09] Speaker B: That little thing? Yeah. [00:14:11] Speaker A: What is that? [00:14:12] Speaker D: Wait, I can't see it. [00:14:13] Speaker B: Why not? [00:14:13] Speaker C: You gotta look at your. [00:14:15] Speaker D: There we go. [00:14:18] Speaker C: Isn't that adorable? [00:14:19] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:14:20] Speaker A: All the people are on the eye. He drew like a bunch of people. [00:14:23] Speaker E: Good sense of scale there. [00:14:26] Speaker C: He's got gills. You're right. He's got gills too. [00:14:28] Speaker A: I love that. There's a snail crawling. Let's. So cute. I love it. I Love that his is kind of a combination of multiple of ours. Like, it's like Adam's. And it has the vibes of mine, too. And it doesn't have a sock, though, so Abby's is way better. Abby. Abby won, So I just love the sock floating at the butts that I love so much that Rafina is like, well, there's definitely a sock down there. [00:15:00] Speaker C: There's got to be. All creatures need a sock. [00:15:02] Speaker A: That's so cute. God, I love it. [00:15:07] Speaker D: All right, what's going on? [00:15:08] Speaker A: Oh, sorry. [00:15:09] Speaker B: You were just refreshing myself with all of the entries. [00:15:12] Speaker A: They're amazing. [00:15:13] Speaker C: We present them to the eyeball. [00:15:19] Speaker F: Very interesting entries. The winner of the accuracy award goes to. [00:15:42] Speaker G: It's better not be fucking gnar again. [00:15:45] Speaker A: Gnar starts singing. Well, there are tentacles. Damn it. [00:15:56] Speaker B: Tough. [00:15:58] Speaker F: None of these are exactly right. I suppose the closest might be Roscoe's. [00:16:17] Speaker G: No way. [00:16:19] Speaker F: There are some definite inaccuracies, but I think I have to give it to him. [00:16:35] Speaker G: Oh, well. Yeah. All y'all. [00:16:40] Speaker C: Roscoe, we're so proud of you. [00:16:43] Speaker G: You, Rafina. [00:16:44] Speaker B: I win. [00:16:45] Speaker G: I beat you. [00:16:46] Speaker C: That's right. Fuck me. That's right. [00:16:48] Speaker B: Well done. [00:16:54] Speaker A: I put Rafina behind my back, like, I'm protecting her. The was that was that she's trying to. [00:17:05] Speaker C: She's trying to not be competitive with them. It's not working. [00:17:10] Speaker A: I put her behind me, but then I realized I'm having to hold her back from attacking Ra. [00:17:14] Speaker E: You're protecting Ra. [00:17:15] Speaker A: Watch out, man. Watch out. [00:17:19] Speaker B: You feel something digging into your lower back, Will. [00:17:24] Speaker A: Stabbing me. [00:17:27] Speaker G: Sorry. Yeah, no, yeah, thanks. I think everybody did a great job, and it was a fun thing to do. I will be converting this into a hull cover for the next ship we board. This will be like a little poster that can be used to hide any destruction that we cause to somebody else's property. [00:17:52] Speaker C: Oh, my gosh. [00:17:55] Speaker B: I don't think that worked out so good last time. [00:17:58] Speaker G: Shut the up, Mo. [00:18:01] Speaker B: I win. You didn't. [00:18:03] Speaker G: You didn't even enter one, did you? [00:18:05] Speaker B: Oh, I did not draw Mo. [00:18:06] Speaker A: What do you think she looks like? I mean, now you have the advantage of hearing what. What she said versus seeing the art. Maybe you. [00:18:14] Speaker C: What do you think the inaccuracies are in Roscoe's? Because that we don't know yet. [00:18:20] Speaker B: I think probably the thing coming out of underwater mouth is actually tongue and not dick. [00:18:38] Speaker A: Hopefully. [00:18:39] Speaker B: Why? [00:18:42] Speaker A: Because I. I just. I. I'm very uncomfortable with the situation as it. As it stands, even when I thought. [00:18:48] Speaker B: It was squid, and now comfortable with everything. [00:18:50] Speaker A: All right. Not everything. Just recently everything. [00:18:53] Speaker B: Okay, what's the last situation you've been in that you were not uncomfortable? [00:18:59] Speaker A: When I was getting a haircut back in. Back in Vallaki, was it? That was about five weeks ago. And it was the last time I had a sense of normalcy in my life, I think. Yeah. [00:19:15] Speaker B: All right. [00:19:15] Speaker A: For a few seconds there, it still was very disturbing. Anyway, before you met me, this giant thing isn't freaking you out as much as. I mean, giant queen. Giant queen. Amazingly, I want to tell everyone about her. Queen. That's not freaking you out at all? [00:19:32] Speaker B: Yes. Queen. [00:19:33] Speaker A: All right, Yas Queen. Cool. [00:19:35] Speaker B: So the boat is getting closer. Yeah, it's a pretty small boat, actually looks like maybe room for a couple people on it. It's not like a war vessel or a Spanish galleon or anything like that. It is brightly decorated. It has like, a little. The bulk of the boat is taken up by, like, a structure, like a cabin with a roof that is tiled with multi. Many different colored tiles. And there are flags flying above the. The cabin. Just. Just a very festive. You don't see any, like, specific colors like. Like indicating any kind of allegiance or anything like that. It just looks to be colorful for color's sake. [00:20:31] Speaker G: Nice. This boat. I don't know if the Dust queen is gonna be our sort of ace in the hole at Gully's End. We have to keep it secret from anybody and everybody out here. So I. Dusk Queen, can you, like, close your eye? Can you disguise yourself as an island for a bit or something? [00:20:51] Speaker F: Okay. Should I stop moving? [00:20:55] Speaker A: Well, subtly. Subtly, yeah, subtly. Like, don't just stop because they need to. I don't know. They're gonna tell we were moving. What are we gonna say? Our magical. [00:21:06] Speaker G: I will just say that we'll just say it was a mirage. It was a mirage. Like Bethlehem. [00:21:12] Speaker F: Your feet. [00:21:15] Speaker B: Oh, and she starts. [00:21:16] Speaker C: And you also have to not talk. [00:21:18] Speaker F: Oh, I will keep my eye squinted open to look for the bright light. [00:21:34] Speaker C: Okay. [00:21:35] Speaker G: Okay. So now we are the story straight. We're on vacation together, and we're not trapped on an island. We're having a good time. [00:21:53] Speaker A: Yeah. What's to say one of us isn't a wizard or something? That this is their magical floating island. We can just enchant it to move a little bit if they're suspicious. [00:22:04] Speaker G: Good. That's your. You're the wizard. [00:22:06] Speaker A: Okay. [00:22:06] Speaker G: You're the wizard. [00:22:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:22:08] Speaker C: Why can't we be an iceberg? Except it's an island iceberg and it's not anchored and it's just floating so it moves. [00:22:15] Speaker A: I've never heard of that. Does that exist? [00:22:19] Speaker C: Sure is made out of the floaty, ah, lava. Or the pahoehoe. Whichever one floats. I can't remember. And then, of course, it would just float along. [00:22:30] Speaker D: We're just surfing a lava wave. [00:22:33] Speaker G: Sure, sure. Hey, dust queen. Don't say anything, but you can keep moving slowly. [00:22:37] Speaker A: Don't say anything. [00:22:42] Speaker G: You don't have to start moving. Can you hear me? You don't have to say anything, but. [00:22:46] Speaker A: Can you hear me? [00:22:49] Speaker C: Nod your head yes. We all fall off. [00:22:54] Speaker A: All right. Should we tell the others? I look towards Gnar and Reed Thorin. Like, where are these guys? What are they doing? [00:23:04] Speaker B: They're just. Gnar was doing a little lap around the eye. Reed's been sitting on the. The scrubby bush end of the. Of the island. Just kind of picking at the sand. Quote, unquote. [00:23:25] Speaker A: Picking at the sand. What is this guy sulking about? Pathway, check him out. He's so lame. Okay, yeah, whatever. The thing is, we. This is having these other people on this island is real fun because they might not participate in whatever lies we tell these people. [00:23:49] Speaker G: Well, go threaten them. [00:23:51] Speaker A: Frighten them. [00:23:53] Speaker B: Ahoy there. [00:23:55] Speaker G: Oh, no. [00:23:56] Speaker C: Oh, it's Goofy. [00:23:58] Speaker G: Ahoy. [00:24:06] Speaker B: Are any of you in the mood for some shopping? [00:24:12] Speaker C: Oh, what's on offer? [00:24:15] Speaker B: Well, let me pull on up to your little whatever you got here, and I'll show you what I got on offer. How does that sound? [00:24:23] Speaker C: Is there any obligation? [00:24:26] Speaker B: I don't know what you mean. If you buy, if you take my stuff, you gotta pay me. [00:24:30] Speaker A: Are you changing accents? [00:24:32] Speaker B: Shut up. [00:24:33] Speaker A: Okay. [00:24:36] Speaker E: Okay. [00:24:39] Speaker A: Okay, okay. [00:24:42] Speaker C: All right. Come and tell us all about yourself. [00:24:47] Speaker B: All right, so the. [00:24:49] Speaker G: Your wares, just your ways. [00:24:51] Speaker C: Tell us about your ways and also about you. [00:24:55] Speaker B: The boat pulls up to the side of the the island. Anywhere I can cast my line. [00:25:04] Speaker A: What does that mean? [00:25:05] Speaker C: You mean your anchor? Are you fishing? [00:25:07] Speaker A: What the heck does that mean? [00:25:08] Speaker B: No, just to tie my boat up here so that I'm Shimi and I. [00:25:13] Speaker A: Yes, that's what it is. You started with a southern accent, then you changed to Shimi. You just love Shimmy a lot. You gotta be goofy on another boat. [00:25:22] Speaker C: You were channeling Goofy Bo when you first started. [00:25:27] Speaker B: Can I cast my line out so I can lure myself to this island? I don't want to be drifting away. [00:25:41] Speaker C: Mo, can you just hang on to this line for this gentleman? [00:25:44] Speaker B: Okay, Abby's just trying to make me do another voice. All right, I'll throw it to you. You better catch it. Okay, I Catch it. All right, you ready? Yeah, I'm ready. One. One. Two. [00:26:05] Speaker A: Three. [00:26:06] Speaker C: Three. [00:26:09] Speaker G: Okay, I catch. [00:26:10] Speaker B: Good job there. What's your name? I'm Mo. [00:26:14] Speaker G: What's your name? [00:26:15] Speaker B: My name is Aces. Pleasure to take you and meet your acquaintance there, Moe. [00:26:21] Speaker C: Aces. [00:26:23] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, my name is Aces. [00:26:30] Speaker C: The flashpot at your service. [00:26:32] Speaker B: The line is cast out the side of the boat flops down the cabin and there's like a counter basically, and there's some things laid out on the counter itself and hung up behind. The person inside appears to be a human in his probably 50s or 60s. He has white hair pulled back in a ponytail. He is dressed in clothing colored to match the riot of colors on his boat. [00:27:05] Speaker C: His clothes are dressed like the boat. Okay, yeah. [00:27:08] Speaker B: What are you all in the mood for? Anything I can interest you in? Anything. [00:27:15] Speaker A: Catch your eye, is there. What. What kind of goods are there? Like, is it like food or what is it? [00:27:23] Speaker B: The stuff laid out on the table in front of you. There is a short rod. There is a key. There is a ring. There is a red gem. There is a scroll. And then hung behind him, there are a few staves. There is a sword. There's a club. And there is a quiver of crossbow bolts. [00:27:56] Speaker A: Wow. [00:27:57] Speaker B: He also has, front and center on the table, there is a basket for. Filled with some sort of baked good complimentary pastry with every purchase. [00:28:15] Speaker C: Oh, what's in that pastry? It smells. Does it smell good? [00:28:22] Speaker B: Well, you can get close. You want to give a sniff? [00:28:25] Speaker C: I do. Okay, I go and inhale it. [00:28:28] Speaker B: All right, one shoots up your nostril. They smell great. They're not like piping hot. They're these little round. They're almost like little pies kind of thing. They've got a golden brown flaky crust. And there's something sweet about the smell. Oh, yes, those are my. I picked these up here recently, back over that ways. And he points towards the direction you guys are going, towards the peninsula. They're. They're fresh. Well, somewhat fresh made cream pastries. [00:29:11] Speaker C: Somewhat fresh cream pastries. [00:29:13] Speaker B: Well, I didn't make them. They made them back there. So I can't say that they're piping hot right out of the oven, but they've got a good shelf life. [00:29:20] Speaker C: They were made in gullies end, you said? [00:29:22] Speaker G: Yeah. [00:29:22] Speaker B: Over there, there's a couple of nice ladies that spend their time making them while they're tending to the. There's a. A pretty nifty lighthouse there. Maybe you guys already know. I don't know where you're coming From? [00:29:37] Speaker C: We're headed that way. I've never been. [00:29:40] Speaker B: Oh, well, you're in for a treat. They're a very nice trio. [00:29:48] Speaker D: Guys, this reminds me of the windmill. [00:29:57] Speaker C: I can't hear you. [00:30:00] Speaker B: No, we heard you. Oh, maybe she can't. Actually, I. [00:30:04] Speaker C: Even with my ear off, I couldn't hear you. [00:30:06] Speaker D: I said, guys, this reminds me of the windmill. [00:30:10] Speaker C: Oh, yeah? Well, we'll see, won't we? Hey, Kick, do you. Have you ever had a pastry like this before? [00:30:25] Speaker D: Bends down and sniffs them? No. [00:30:31] Speaker B: Well, buy something and you can have a taste. [00:30:35] Speaker C: What are you. What are the prices you have here? [00:30:38] Speaker B: Well, what are you interested in? Maybe we could do a little dickering. [00:30:43] Speaker C: Well, I somehow never run out of crossbow bolts, so I'm not gonna get that. [00:30:50] Speaker A: Suddenly you have no crossbow? Bones. [00:30:53] Speaker B: Damn it. You beat me to it. [00:30:59] Speaker C: That's a beautiful gem. What kind of gem is it? [00:31:02] Speaker B: Oh, well, that there is. Oh. This was a very distinctive item. This was, if you can believe it, it was taken from the pit of dire Annihilation. It's the Ruby of the war Mage. [00:31:20] Speaker C: That's a place. Whoa. How did you come across it? [00:31:25] Speaker B: Oh, I come across lots of things in my travels. [00:31:29] Speaker A: Yeah, I was wondering about that. Is it profitable to sail around on the sea with a bunch of random items for fighters rather than having a store on the land? [00:31:44] Speaker B: Well, I mean, around Gully's End, there's lots of people looking for a fight. [00:31:48] Speaker A: Really? [00:31:49] Speaker B: Oh, sure. Gosh. [00:31:51] Speaker A: Who Goofy? [00:31:56] Speaker B: Well, these are a pugilistic bunch. [00:31:59] Speaker A: Oh, really? Interesting. I look at Batwack. [00:32:06] Speaker G: I'm in the market for a new staff. My quarter staff was shattered into in Beaches, by God. Yeah, it was unfortunate. So what do you got? What are these snapes you have over here? [00:32:25] Speaker B: So you're looking to buy a staff, but you don't already have one? That puts you in a bit of a pickle, doesn't it? [00:32:35] Speaker G: Normal, transactional pickle, I'd say. [00:32:38] Speaker B: Yeah, well, so we got these two here, and he reaches back and he pulls them down from the wall and lays them out on the table. We got this staff here, points to the one on the right. It's a little battered. It's made of a dark wood. And the top of it, it sort of like tapers up to a point. And as it starts to taper, the color of the wood lightens to almost like a yellow. This is the. The Staff of adornment, as I'm told. If you say the magic word, it'll also light up for you. You ever looking For a light in a dark place, this will do the trick for you. [00:33:28] Speaker G: Okay. Okay. [00:33:30] Speaker C: Wait. You knew some interesting things about that. Did you know anything interesting about the Red Gem? [00:33:35] Speaker B: Well, I don't know too much other than where it came from. It just sounded like a. Like a fancy thing that I might offer, maybe. Do you know something about the Ruby of the War Mage? [00:33:47] Speaker C: I'd have to check with my librarian. [00:33:50] Speaker B: Okay. [00:33:53] Speaker C: Okay, next. [00:33:55] Speaker B: Well, then this other staff here, and you look at it, and it's a cedar staff. It looks much thicker than the other one. And the entirety of it is. So there's the staff in the middle, and it's got this, you assume, more wood sculpted into a serpent spiraling up the entire length of the staff. This is, as I'm told, called the Staff of the Python. Now, that's a bit fancier than the Staff of adornment, so that comes at a. At a bit of a spendier price. [00:34:37] Speaker G: What is it, though? [00:34:38] Speaker B: I don't know. That's for you to find out. I'm just told that it has much more magical abilities. I am not a staff wielder myself. [00:34:48] Speaker A: Well, by who? [00:34:49] Speaker B: Oh, well, by whom? I got it, for I do not give out my sources. Do any of you have things you might wish to. To sell to me? I'm also in the market to buy. [00:35:02] Speaker A: Potentially. We have a lot of stuff. [00:35:06] Speaker C: Can I give you a dumb spell? [00:35:09] Speaker B: Well, why don't you expound on that, little lady? [00:35:13] Speaker C: I don't like the spell I have. I want to get rid of it. [00:35:17] Speaker B: Well, that's interesting. Do you mean a scroll or a wand? [00:35:23] Speaker C: I sure don't. [00:35:24] Speaker B: Oh, you just know a spell. [00:35:27] Speaker C: Yep. [00:35:27] Speaker B: And you want to give it away. [00:35:29] Speaker C: I can forget it if you want it. [00:35:35] Speaker B: I don't know how you would give it to me. [00:35:39] Speaker C: I would just say the spell is hereby yours. [00:35:43] Speaker A: Poof. [00:35:44] Speaker C: And with the word poof, it would be yours. [00:35:47] Speaker B: Well, you can go ahead and do that if you wish, but I don't know that that's worth hard coin to me. [00:35:53] Speaker C: Well, then, never mind. [00:35:57] Speaker B: Oh, I may live to regret that. We'll see. [00:36:02] Speaker G: Well, how much do you want for this snake stick? [00:36:07] Speaker B: The staff of the python, I think you mean. I could pot with that for, say, 500 gold. [00:36:20] Speaker G: That's pretty steep. [00:36:24] Speaker B: Well, it's the Staff of the Python, after all. [00:36:29] Speaker G: You'll be opposed to me trying to kind of attune to it, to understand its powers, before I agree to any kind of transaction in regards to it. [00:36:42] Speaker B: Well, I don't know about attuning to it. That might make it a little less valuable. Valuable to me. But if you wish to inspect it. I can't say I can argue with that. Garshno Garno. [00:36:59] Speaker E: I just would start with just a basic arcana check. [00:37:03] Speaker B: Go for it. 17. Okay. So, yeah, you inspect the staff. It's definitely magical. You think that it has the power to. I never remember the right schools of magic and D and D. So I'll just wing it. It's like something you feel like it can change into something with the right prompting. [00:37:32] Speaker E: Is that transmutation? [00:37:34] Speaker B: Sure. Sounds great. [00:37:37] Speaker E: That the staff can change into something and just as a basic. [00:37:43] Speaker G: I mean. [00:37:43] Speaker E: So the. The quarter staff that Roscoe had before was just. It was like a non magical quarter staff. Right. [00:37:54] Speaker B: If it was magical, it wasn't magical in any way. Other than making it better to hit things with. It didn't have any, like, unique properties. [00:38:06] Speaker E: Does this staff. This stuff could work as just a weapon like that, right? [00:38:12] Speaker B: For sure. In addition, seems like a stout piece of wood, huh? [00:38:18] Speaker G: 500 gold, though. [00:38:20] Speaker E: More. It's a lot. [00:38:27] Speaker C: Said the person with unlimited funds, I don't think. [00:38:32] Speaker E: Well, that's not quite how it works. [00:38:37] Speaker C: That's what Rafina thinks. [00:38:43] Speaker A: Okay. [00:38:44] Speaker G: Yeah, this thing's pretty magical, I suppose. But I don't know about 500 gold. [00:38:54] Speaker B: Oh, no. [00:38:56] Speaker G: I give you. It seems like kind of weak. Weakish magic. I've been around stronger magic is all I'm saying. [00:39:05] Speaker B: Okay. [00:39:05] Speaker G: Which I would settle for maybe like 400 gold. [00:39:14] Speaker B: Well, I mean, I do happen to know that you are saying staff at this point. I could say how about four, 30, maybe? [00:39:38] Speaker G: Maybe. How about a little 420, if you know what I mean. [00:39:44] Speaker B: I do know what you mean. I'll take that deal. [00:39:49] Speaker G: All right. Okay, sure. I don't care. [00:39:59] Speaker E: Roscoe will pay 420 gold for this staff. I think that's worth it because. [00:40:07] Speaker G: Yeah, his quarter staff shattered. [00:40:09] Speaker E: He doesn't have one. [00:40:10] Speaker G: He needs one. [00:40:12] Speaker B: Now that you are the proud, rightful owner of this staff, I will tell you that the magic word to activate it is fangs. [00:40:22] Speaker G: All right. Okay, cool. Thank you. I'll be sure to experiment with this thing a bit later. [00:40:28] Speaker B: Okay. Don't do anything I wouldn't do with it. [00:40:35] Speaker G: And some of the things you would. Am I right? [00:40:38] Speaker B: I mean, I would sell it. [00:40:45] Speaker C: Get your pastry. [00:40:48] Speaker B: Yes, please. [00:40:48] Speaker G: Oh, yeah, I get a pastry. Okay. Oh, this looks very good. All right. Very nice. Just pause me for one second. [00:41:00] Speaker E: And Roscoe takes out personally derived mustard. Put some along the top of the pastry. [00:41:09] Speaker C: I thought you were gonna do it for poison. [00:41:12] Speaker B: Nope. [00:41:13] Speaker E: Oh, no. Nope. He's adding poison. [00:41:16] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:41:19] Speaker E: And he eats it. [00:41:20] Speaker B: Okay? You take a bite. It's filled with a thick cream that kind of squirts out the sides as you take your first bite into it. It's very sweet. Cream. Yeah, it's delicious. It's just the right balance of pastry and cream. And, yeah, a couple bites, you're licking your fingers. Afterwards, there's a little bit of cream left on either side of your mouth, but you can take care of that real quick. Or maybe Oscar does for you. I don't know. [00:41:51] Speaker G: Aw, it's very tasty. And my dessert mustard went with it perfectly. [00:41:57] Speaker B: Oh, a dessert mustard. I've never heard of such a thing. [00:42:02] Speaker G: Well, then you haven't lived, mister. [00:42:05] Speaker B: Well, I've heard of it now, so maybe I have lived. [00:42:10] Speaker G: Touche. [00:42:12] Speaker E: Roscoe walks away. He goes over. He goes into his rutabago to attune to the staff. [00:42:19] Speaker B: Cool. [00:42:21] Speaker A: Can I have, like, during that, been observing him and trying to get a read on them to see if the stuff seems genuine? I mean, I'll also do, like an arcana check, too, but, like, I want to do both. [00:42:36] Speaker B: So Arcana and insight. [00:42:38] Speaker A: Yeah, Arcana 19. Insight 17. If he seems to be trying to pull one over on anybody or any more than any person, like. [00:42:49] Speaker B: Yeah, that's what I was about to say. Like, he is here to make a profit. You don't think he is trying to sell you guys junk? [00:42:58] Speaker A: Okay. [00:42:59] Speaker B: Especially with your arcana check. You're pretty sure that the things he's claiming to be magic are magic, whether they're worth the amount of gold he is asking for. Whatever is, you know. [00:43:15] Speaker A: Can I roll Arcana? Kind of in general, but also like, what the fuck is this? Ruby of some kind of mage. I want to know what that is. [00:43:24] Speaker B: Oh, I see you eyeing my jam. [00:43:28] Speaker A: What is it? I mean, you said what the name is, but you really have no idea what this thing can do? [00:43:34] Speaker B: Well, you should take a look at it. Feel free to give it a close inspection, see if it meets your needs. [00:43:41] Speaker A: Well, I rolled the 19. Arcana. [00:43:43] Speaker C: Squeeze it, Valencio. Squeeze it. [00:43:47] Speaker A: I don't know. He doesn't even like. What if it explodes? I don't think so. I think you should be paying me to take this away from you if you don't know what it does. [00:43:59] Speaker B: Oh, I don't know about that. [00:44:01] Speaker A: All right, what's my arcana roll? [00:44:03] Speaker B: What was it? [00:44:04] Speaker A: I'm sorry, a 19. [00:44:05] Speaker B: Okay, so you think that this is. It feels in an arcana way, similar to a spell casting focus. You think it could help you make a spell casting focus in a certain way? [00:44:36] Speaker A: Well, so I had a focus when I was a warlock. It was my lock, my sister's locket. So this is like an item that I feel like I don't need. [00:44:47] Speaker B: You do not know. [00:44:51] Speaker A: Do I think Bathwack might need it because he was talking about making a necklace. I look at Kick and I hold it like this. [00:45:02] Speaker D: I'll take it from him. [00:45:06] Speaker C: And he walks away with it. [00:45:08] Speaker A: He's like, thanks for buying this for me, as usual. [00:45:11] Speaker B: Yeah, hook it up to your fishing rod. Cast it. [00:45:16] Speaker D: She goes flying off into the sea. I think. I think I didn't use it right. Do I. Do I notice anything? I mean, I don't know what this thing is. [00:45:34] Speaker B: You feel like it's kind of almost like a magnet being kind of drawn to your weapon. [00:45:45] Speaker C: Euphemism. No, just kidding. [00:45:49] Speaker B: It's drawn to your slit. It's drawn to your beaver slit. [00:45:54] Speaker A: Put a finger in it. [00:46:01] Speaker D: How much is it, Will? [00:46:04] Speaker A: I don't know. This guy doesn't even know anything about it. [00:46:07] Speaker B: Oh, I could give you a price, though. That's what my job is. I could. I could part with that for the low, low price of. Why don't we call it, let's say, 105 gold? [00:46:23] Speaker A: Oh. [00:46:27] Speaker D: Kick digs through his pockets, pulls out. [00:46:31] Speaker B: A fish, an old taco. [00:46:33] Speaker D: He fills out a taco and 30 gold pieces. I can give you 30 gold. [00:46:45] Speaker B: Oh, 30. I don't know about that. You got anything else to go with it? 30 gold and something else. Something I could maybe get back the rest of that 75 gold with. [00:47:07] Speaker D: What does this do again? Why am I buying this? [00:47:14] Speaker B: Well, it's the ruby of the war mage, as I said, was taken from the pit of dire annihilation. [00:47:28] Speaker C: Isolation. It's annihilation. [00:47:31] Speaker B: Yes, ma'am. [00:47:33] Speaker C: Oh, I was gonna tell my librarian. It was annihilated. It was isolation. All right, I kind of. [00:47:41] Speaker D: I kind of want this, Will, but. What. What's your name again? [00:47:48] Speaker B: Aces. Me? [00:47:49] Speaker D: Aces. [00:47:50] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:47:50] Speaker D: What a. What is this ring? [00:47:53] Speaker B: Oh, this ring. [00:47:54] Speaker D: I'm still holding the. [00:47:56] Speaker B: Yeah, the ruby. [00:47:57] Speaker D: I'm still holding the gel. I'm pointing to the ring now. [00:48:01] Speaker A: Oh. [00:48:02] Speaker B: Well, this is a. This is a well known type of ring. This is a ring of warmth. You ever find yourself cold and shivering on a night up on a mountain? [00:48:14] Speaker D: No. What's this? Points to the key. [00:48:20] Speaker B: It's so good. Oh, well, now, this. I could maybe part with this for 30 gold. This is the one and only mystery key. This key. [00:48:41] Speaker C: I found it in a drawer in my closet, and I don't know what it goes to. [00:48:46] Speaker B: You take this key. Now, listen to this. [00:48:48] Speaker D: Did you find it in it? Did you find it in a shipwreck? I didn't know. [00:48:57] Speaker B: Now, you see this key, it has this little question mark in the. In the head of the key. And that is apro pro, because you take this key and you fit it into a lock of your choosing, and there is a chance that it will unlock that lock. [00:49:13] Speaker C: Now, how does that's the chance? [00:49:15] Speaker B: Oh, is a non zero chance, little lady. [00:49:21] Speaker D: If it's the right lock. [00:49:28] Speaker B: I will say full disclosure, Buyer beware that once this key works, it is gone forever. [00:49:38] Speaker A: 30 gold for that? [00:49:40] Speaker B: Yes, sir. [00:49:41] Speaker A: And you don't even know if it'll open anything. [00:49:43] Speaker B: Oh, it will. It can. It has the capability. [00:49:47] Speaker A: I think you might be trying advantage of this person. The capability. That doesn't win you any more gold, sir. Your terrible pun. [00:49:56] Speaker D: No, I'm not asking. [00:49:58] Speaker B: 30 it is. [00:50:00] Speaker A: That's only because that's all he has. I know this tactic. [00:50:03] Speaker B: I know my customers. [00:50:05] Speaker D: I have 31 gold piece in my pocket. No, no, no, no point at the sword. Can I pick it up? [00:50:17] Speaker B: It's hanging behind him. [00:50:18] Speaker D: It's hanging. Ah. Oh, I try to. Try to reach it. [00:50:23] Speaker B: Well, hold on, hold on. [00:50:27] Speaker D: My tiptoes. [00:50:30] Speaker B: Now, I don't know if. If you would know anything about this being the half orc, but this is known. So this is the sword of vengeance. This is said to be imbued with the spirit of a famed dragonborn. Paladin. [00:50:49] Speaker C: Whoa. [00:50:50] Speaker B: I see that I have struck you all dumb. [00:50:57] Speaker D: Was he really good at fishing? [00:50:59] Speaker B: I do not. [00:51:00] Speaker D: Well, no, that's not what paladin said, right? [00:51:03] Speaker B: I do not believe so. Though I don't think being a paladin excludes you from being a good fisherman. [00:51:11] Speaker C: We didn't say good. [00:51:12] Speaker D: Does being a good fisherman exclude you from being a good paladin? I'm a good fisherman. [00:51:19] Speaker B: That is a good question. I do not think so. I suppose it would depend on which God you swear yourself to. Oh, maybe if you were sworn to the God of worms, perhaps. Yes, it would preclude you from being a good paladin. Though I have never heard of a God of worms. [00:51:46] Speaker D: Oh, it's just crestfallen. So excited for a minute. All right, all right. So, do you mind if I look at the sword? [00:52:00] Speaker B: Not at all. Take A few. [00:52:05] Speaker A: Does he turn around to. To get the sword? He said it's hanging behind him. Can I pick up. [00:52:11] Speaker C: Wait, did you say it was imbued? [00:52:14] Speaker B: Sorry, the spirit of a famed Dragonborn Paladin. [00:52:18] Speaker C: Okay. Imbued with the spirit. [00:52:22] Speaker E: Interesting. [00:52:24] Speaker A: Can I pick up the key while he turns around? I don't mean to steal it. I mean to just pick it up, of course, and look at it. [00:52:33] Speaker B: Okay. [00:52:33] Speaker A: So that I can cast. Cast a spell. [00:52:37] Speaker B: Well, he's turned around. What spell are you casting? [00:52:41] Speaker A: I want to cast. [00:52:42] Speaker B: I bite. [00:52:44] Speaker A: Although this. It says casting time. One minute for this spell, so it might take me a long time. [00:52:48] Speaker B: He's not going to take a minute to get that sword. Dance. [00:52:51] Speaker A: Yeah, that's okay. No, no, I want to look. I'm look. I said, like, I want to look at the object, so I might be able to recreat. [00:53:00] Speaker C: Oh, you have a 3D printer. [00:53:02] Speaker A: Yes, it's a 3D printing spell. [00:53:06] Speaker B: All right, so he's got the sword down, he turns around and he sees you eyeing it. Oh, this key. This mystery key has caught your eye, I see. [00:53:19] Speaker A: I don't know, I just. I thought I. I've heard of this kind of thing, and I feel like this one's a fake, so. I don't know. I was just trying to look at it to see how genuine it is. [00:53:28] Speaker B: I do not deal in fakes, my friend. [00:53:30] Speaker A: Everything you see here is where your papers. Like, how am I supposed to know there's any. There's no certificates of authenticity or anything. These could just be stories that you made up. [00:53:40] Speaker B: What's a few sheets of paper between two Trusting. What. What should we call each other? Enjoyers of business? [00:53:53] Speaker A: I certainly call myself that. [00:53:55] Speaker B: Exactly. I could tell it from the moment I laid eyes on. Here, take a look at this sword. There, sir. He hands you the sword. [00:54:04] Speaker D: Thanks. Going to hold it awkwardly, but he still. He sees it. He just sees Kick. Right. He doesn't. [00:54:15] Speaker B: Yep. [00:54:15] Speaker D: Because he said. He said half work. He sees Kick as a half orc. [00:54:19] Speaker B: Oh. [00:54:20] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, that's right. [00:54:21] Speaker B: He wouldn't have said that. [00:54:22] Speaker C: Yeah. What is wondering about that? [00:54:25] Speaker B: Sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Okay, My bad. [00:54:28] Speaker D: Okay. [00:54:29] Speaker E: Redcon. [00:54:30] Speaker B: Yep. [00:54:30] Speaker D: All right. [00:54:31] Speaker B: I don't know if it would interest you, being a lizard folk, but this sword isn't beauty. You can cut that in later. [00:54:39] Speaker A: Okay, but you got to say it more convincingly than that. [00:54:41] Speaker B: Well, I. You're not going to do that if. [00:54:44] Speaker C: You'Re allowed to make a mistake in the. [00:54:45] Speaker E: It's fine. [00:54:47] Speaker B: I have the editor in my Back pocket. We smooch, you guys. [00:54:53] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:54:54] Speaker E: So it should be famed half orc paladin. [00:54:56] Speaker B: No. [00:54:57] Speaker A: Lizard folk. No, no, no. Dragonborn paladin was definitely. [00:55:01] Speaker B: Well, you might not be interested in this being a lizard folk. [00:55:05] Speaker E: Oh, I. Oh, I see. [00:55:07] Speaker B: But I see this is imbued with the spirit of a dragonborn Paladin. [00:55:12] Speaker A: Yeah, that part is still weird. [00:55:15] Speaker G: Yeah. [00:55:16] Speaker B: Okay. [00:55:16] Speaker C: Yeah, interesting. [00:55:17] Speaker D: Okay. All right. Well, then I'll hold it awkwardly and. But I want to see how it feels or if I can understand what he's talking about. [00:55:28] Speaker B: Okay. You want to give me arcana check? [00:55:33] Speaker D: Sure. I'm great at arcana. [00:55:35] Speaker B: Liar. [00:55:42] Speaker D: It's made out of metal. [00:55:45] Speaker B: It definitely is. [00:55:46] Speaker D: Yep. [00:55:47] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, it seems to be magical. [00:55:53] Speaker G: Well. [00:55:54] Speaker B: Well. [00:55:57] Speaker C: You don't feel your own spirit calling to you from it? [00:56:00] Speaker D: I. I don't know really what he's talking about, do you? [00:56:05] Speaker A: Are you giving me the sword or something? [00:56:07] Speaker D: Can I give you the sword? Like, what is. Do you understand what this is? [00:56:11] Speaker A: Will takes it like he's never held a sword in his life. Like. [00:56:15] Speaker D: Oh, like, has he never held a sword? [00:56:17] Speaker A: No, he's. Maybe, but I. I have. This has been a thing that Will never has any weapons. [00:56:25] Speaker D: So I think he takes it super heavy. [00:56:28] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, yeah. He thinks he can take it like this. And then he's like, all right. And he. He rolls our Kanada. It's a great sword. So it's huge. Is that like a Braveheart sword? Is that what those. Those are. That's a claymore. Is that bigger than a great sword? [00:56:43] Speaker B: I think it's bigger than a great sword, I think. [00:56:48] Speaker A: Well, it's no claymore. No, I'm just kidding. I'll roll an arcana if I can find my character sheet. There it is. This is the wrong page. [00:56:58] Speaker D: I mean, I think it's magical, but I don't know. [00:57:02] Speaker A: Natural 20, 22. [00:57:04] Speaker D: Holy cow. [00:57:05] Speaker A: I know exactly. Bath wax. It's the best. I. This is. This is definitely bath wax sword. I find a little engraving on it. That is his wife's lips, like, purse. Like this. Like, you know how they. They do those engravings on metal? Like, it's just you at the right angle. I can see a smooch. And I'm like, oh, what is that? [00:57:26] Speaker B: What an ugly kiss. [00:57:27] Speaker A: What an ugly kiss this is. Oh, bad decision to make. Sorry. [00:57:34] Speaker B: Maximum 20. This sword is cursed. [00:57:37] Speaker A: Are you serious? [00:57:39] Speaker B: It is magical. There is a vengeful spirit trapped within this sword. [00:57:49] Speaker A: Fascinating. [00:57:51] Speaker B: If you attune to this sword, you become cursed, and you will not part with this sword. And you take disadvantages if you use any other weapon. [00:58:05] Speaker A: Oh, man, that would have been so fun for him to have. [00:58:08] Speaker B: And if you get. If you take damage. Ruined your plans while holding this. While you have this sword and you take damage in combat, if you fail a save, you have to attack that creature that damaged you until either you die or it dies. [00:58:27] Speaker C: All right, can you guys see Alex? [00:58:30] Speaker B: Yes. [00:58:31] Speaker A: Now we can. It was frozen. [00:58:33] Speaker C: Oh, that's weird, because I. I could keep hearing them, but he. But he couldn't hear. [00:58:37] Speaker A: Sorry. Yeah, you were frozen. That was weird. [00:58:39] Speaker B: And then otherwise, it's like a plus one sword. [00:58:42] Speaker A: Could he hear your description? [00:58:43] Speaker B: I don't know. [00:58:45] Speaker D: Nope. [00:58:46] Speaker C: Oh, my gosh. That's perfect. [00:58:47] Speaker A: That is kind of insane, actually. Okay. Oh, that's great. [00:58:52] Speaker B: That's why. Great sword. [00:58:53] Speaker A: It's a great sword. Yeah. Wow. Holy. I've never seen a better sword in my life. I look up at the guy, and I am like. I squint like this. You know what I mean? Like, I'm like, I'm on to you. And he like, what? [00:59:08] Speaker B: I think about that key. [00:59:11] Speaker A: What is that? He's just moving. I'm holding the sword. [00:59:15] Speaker B: Don't you also have the key? [00:59:17] Speaker A: I have the. Maybe I put it down to. Oh, grab this huge, giant sword that isn't a claymore. [00:59:23] Speaker B: It's a great sword. It's a great sword. [00:59:26] Speaker A: It's a great sword. [00:59:26] Speaker B: Isn't that a great sword? [00:59:28] Speaker A: I'm trying to remember what I. I rolled a 17 insight last time, and I thought this guy wasn't trying to fool us any more than any other seller would kick. [00:59:42] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:59:43] Speaker A: Do you know that? [00:59:44] Speaker D: What do you think of that sword? [00:59:45] Speaker A: Yeah, I want, like. Do you know that spell that I hate? [00:59:49] Speaker D: Which one? Oh, yeah, that one. [00:59:53] Speaker A: You might want to cast that right now. [01:00:00] Speaker D: But, yeah, the sword. [01:00:02] Speaker B: It. [01:00:03] Speaker A: No, you might want to cast the spell or maybe start, like, I don't know, holding this guy by his collar while I. Eldrich, blast his feet. [01:00:11] Speaker B: Hold on a second here. [01:00:13] Speaker C: Hold on a second. [01:00:13] Speaker A: Are you kidding me? Do you know what this. This thing is? [01:00:16] Speaker B: He's the sword of vengeance. [01:00:18] Speaker A: Yeah, the sword event. [01:00:20] Speaker B: The spirit of a dragonborn Paladin. [01:00:22] Speaker A: You are a liar. He's a liar. You guys, this guy's a shyster. All right, nobody buy any of this because it's probably cursed. Roscoe, I'm gonna, like. I. I just realized that Roscoe bought something. I'll shout. [01:00:37] Speaker E: He's. He's probably attuned to his item. [01:00:39] Speaker A: Yeah, that would Be amazing if it's somehow I don't know what happens. Is he okay? Hold on. [01:00:46] Speaker D: I can't stand a truth. [01:00:48] Speaker B: Okay, Just centered on the guy. [01:00:52] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:00:53] Speaker B: All right, Will, you're in the zone of truth. [01:00:55] Speaker A: All right? But I know I. I called for it, so I'm okay. No, no, I'm not saying I'm okay. Immune against it. I'm saying if I step out of the. Like, I. I was willingly, you know, I'm not offended. All right, what do I have to roll again? What kind of save. [01:01:14] Speaker B: All right. [01:01:15] Speaker A: Anybody? [01:01:16] Speaker D: Charisma. [01:01:17] Speaker A: Charisma. [01:01:19] Speaker B: This. This. This trader rolled a. [01:01:24] Speaker A: Is it a natural one? Oh, I got a 20 on my charisma. [01:01:31] Speaker B: What's your DC? I'm sure. I think it's less than 20. It's like 17 or something. Sixteen, Bathwack. [01:01:38] Speaker D: Oh, yeah. Sixteen. Okay. [01:01:40] Speaker B: Your goodwill. What does. What are you trying to. What is it? Are you doubting my veracity, good sirs? And you, little lady? [01:01:54] Speaker C: I don't know what's going on, but I think maybe bathwack should ask a question. I didn't say that. Bath time for kick. Should ask a question. [01:02:07] Speaker A: I love that. [01:02:09] Speaker D: Well, anyone can ask a question. That's how this works. [01:02:11] Speaker B: Oh, well, maybe I should just pack up shop here and move along. [01:02:15] Speaker A: Feeling a little nervous, huh? [01:02:16] Speaker B: Well, I feel a bit assaulted. My personal. [01:02:20] Speaker A: I feel assaulted. [01:02:21] Speaker B: Oh, do you? [01:02:22] Speaker A: You called me a fellow business liker or whatever lame ass term that you decided. [01:02:27] Speaker B: That's pretty lame. I will admit to that. [01:02:28] Speaker A: I did like it, but it was lame. But anyway, what I'm saying is I'm offended because I do like business and this is bad business. Sword is not just imbued with the power of some nice paladin. [01:02:41] Speaker B: What's wrong with it? [01:02:42] Speaker A: Do you. Okay, check. Because I want to know if he genuinely is. [01:02:47] Speaker B: Check. What? [01:02:48] Speaker A: I guess it's a zone of truth. So he wouldn't be able to. Would he be able to ask that question in the zone of truth? [01:02:54] Speaker D: You know that you just have. You have to ask questions and he. He can't answer honestly, so. [01:02:58] Speaker A: But, like, first of all, I just want to roll a. What's it called? Insight. Yes. To see if I can tell that he's lying. A natural 20 again. [01:03:09] Speaker E: Whoa. What is happening? [01:03:11] Speaker C: That's amazing. [01:03:16] Speaker B: I don't know how long this is. [01:03:20] Speaker A: I'm terrible at, like, I'm never. I've never been a. Like me personally, not my character. I've never been good at. What's it? Bargaining, like, you know, haggling and that kind of shit. But, like, my character would be. And he'd be, you know, into that stuff. [01:03:37] Speaker B: So I'm glad that I'm doing natural 20. He seems offended that you're trying to question him and that this spell has been cast upon him without his permission. He now feels like you're trying to rob him. [01:03:54] Speaker A: Whoa. [01:03:55] Speaker B: And is maybe reaching under the counter for something. [01:04:02] Speaker A: He's reaching under the counter. I Eldritch blast where the counter is. Is that bad? Oh, I blow up the whole ship. Oh, go ahead. Should I not do that? I guess I said it. [01:04:16] Speaker D: We can do anything. [01:04:18] Speaker B: You can do anything you want. [01:04:19] Speaker A: I want to eldritch blast. [01:04:21] Speaker B: Abby casts Eldritch blast in the room she's in right now. [01:04:26] Speaker A: I want to Eldritch blast so that he can't, like. I want to Eldritch blast near his hand so he knows to freeze his hand. I'm saying he's moving his hand, and I cast Eldritch blast. [01:04:35] Speaker B: Roll it. [01:04:36] Speaker A: You guys, I just messed everything up. I'm sorry. [01:04:39] Speaker B: What are you gonna do with the other two beams? [01:04:40] Speaker A: Just one. They're just gonna make a heart over my head like everyone else ain't doing this. Seventeen. [01:04:54] Speaker B: Okay. [01:04:55] Speaker A: One force. Is that what it is? [01:04:58] Speaker C: Yep. [01:04:58] Speaker B: One force damage. All right, so you shoot at the. The counter there. The. The ring of warmth flies off of the table and into the ocean. And he steps back and puts both of his hands up. [01:05:15] Speaker A: Yeah. So I think he thinks he's trying. We're trying to rob him. We're not trying to rob you. [01:05:19] Speaker B: I would appreciate it if you would put my goods back on this counter. [01:05:23] Speaker A: I would appreciate it. You weren't going to try to do something under that counter, and you were trying to sell this sword right here. [01:05:30] Speaker B: What's wrong with that sword? [01:05:32] Speaker A: All right, he's genuinely an idiot, I guess, guys, because this sword has, like, an evil spirit trapped in it. [01:05:37] Speaker B: An evil spirit? [01:05:40] Speaker C: An evil spirit. [01:05:41] Speaker B: It's the spirit of a dragonborn Paladin. Why would that be an evil spirit? [01:05:46] Speaker A: It's not. It must not be the spirit of a dragonborn Paladin, then. Or some kind of evil Paladin. Do those exist? [01:05:52] Speaker B: Yes. Oh, yeah. [01:05:55] Speaker A: There you go, you fucking idiot. [01:05:57] Speaker E: That's great. [01:05:58] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:05:59] Speaker B: Oh, well, you don't have to give me that back. You can keep it. [01:06:05] Speaker A: I think you owe us a little payment for saving your future clientele from a huge lawsuit. I mean, saving yourself from a huge lawsuit from future clientele placed by future clientele. [01:06:22] Speaker B: I don't know about that. [01:06:24] Speaker A: Oh, you don't know about that? How about I just drive this sword through your throat? [01:06:27] Speaker B: Oh, this sword imbued with an evil spirit. [01:06:32] Speaker A: I guess that wouldn't be good for me. [01:06:34] Speaker B: Listen to all of you. Do you think he might be imbued with an evil spirit himself? [01:06:39] Speaker A: All right, you guys, I'm not imbuing evil spirit. You guys already know every single goddamn thing about me for the past couple of days. [01:06:48] Speaker D: How much for the ruby? [01:06:50] Speaker B: How much for the ruby? [01:06:53] Speaker A: All right, give us the ruby for free. [01:06:55] Speaker B: How about you keep the sword in the ruby, and I'll be on my way? [01:06:59] Speaker C: We don't want the sword. [01:07:00] Speaker B: Chuck it in the ocean for all I care. I don't want no cursed sword. [01:07:04] Speaker A: Oh, God. We really don't need this sword to, like, get in the hands of Gnar. [01:07:09] Speaker D: Did he say 30 gold for the ruby? [01:07:11] Speaker C: No. [01:07:12] Speaker A: Oh, no, that was 105. 105. [01:07:16] Speaker B: Thank you. [01:07:16] Speaker D: Oh, the ruby was 105. Well, I'll give him. I'll put 30 gold on the counter, because that is really all I have. [01:07:28] Speaker A: I take it off the counter, and I put the sword on the counter. [01:07:32] Speaker D: And then I'm gonna put the. I have not known what to do with this forever, but maybe it's worth the difference. I'll put the vial labeled youth on the counter. [01:07:45] Speaker C: Oh, my gosh. I can't believe you're giving that up. [01:07:47] Speaker A: Says Rafina, the old lady. [01:07:50] Speaker C: No, I. I thought you would use it, like, on your wife or something. [01:07:54] Speaker A: What? [01:07:55] Speaker B: Jesus. Pour it all over her tits. [01:07:59] Speaker C: She's clearly ugly. [01:08:02] Speaker A: Oh, no. Rafina just thinks his wife is ugly now. I'm sorry, bathwack. My words are too powerful. [01:08:14] Speaker B: It's Rafina succumbing to the zone of truth. All right, well, for sure. Fair. Why don't you just not zap me anymore with any of your bolts of magical. [01:08:30] Speaker A: I didn't even touch you. [01:08:32] Speaker B: Why don't you just let go of that rope and I'll. Would you like a cream pastry? [01:08:38] Speaker A: I think we could all use the cream pastries. Look at this huge aisle we're on. Does it look like there's a restaurant here? [01:08:44] Speaker B: He holds out the basket. [01:08:46] Speaker A: I take the basket. [01:08:47] Speaker B: Okay. [01:08:48] Speaker A: What are you gonna do with a sword? Or should we bury it somewhere? [01:08:51] Speaker B: I don't want it. I do not not see myself as one who trades in cursed items. And I have a word. Will have a word or two with my source. I will say that you just trust. [01:09:04] Speaker A: Me, that this is cursed. I take it off the table. [01:09:12] Speaker C: Will. Well, Will's not standing in the zone of truth. Right? [01:09:16] Speaker A: I am. I am, but he just. I don't know if this guy. This guy wouldn't know necessarily that he would saved or not. That's why I'm. I'm fucking with him. [01:09:24] Speaker C: What if we. What if we put it down the mouth hole? [01:09:28] Speaker A: Oh, no. [01:09:29] Speaker C: See how it goes through the digestive trash? [01:09:32] Speaker B: The Dust Queen is finding it very hard not to reply. [01:09:39] Speaker A: Please. [01:09:40] Speaker C: It's almost midnight. [01:09:43] Speaker D: Now that this is happening, I just imagine that the entire trip, graffiti is just trying to find different things to. [01:09:48] Speaker B: Put down the mouth hole just to see what happens. [01:09:52] Speaker A: Poor Dust Queen. [01:09:54] Speaker B: Reminds me of the video of someone playing with one of those shape sorters. Like little baby shape sorters, but it's a bad one. And all of the shapes fit in the square hole. [01:10:09] Speaker C: Well, and then the whole way there. Every time. Every time the dust queen burps, an evil spirit comes out. [01:10:17] Speaker B: Yes. [01:10:18] Speaker A: We get to have a new fight every 20 minutes. [01:10:23] Speaker B: Should I let go of rope now? [01:10:27] Speaker A: I don't know, Bathwack. What do you think he was trying to sell us an evil sword? [01:10:32] Speaker D: Who's Bathwick? [01:10:35] Speaker A: I don't know. My uncle. I was just talking to him. [01:10:39] Speaker C: That's just. [01:10:39] Speaker A: I missed that guy. God damn it. He died a few years ago. He's not replying right now. So kick. What do you think? This is ridiculous. [01:10:52] Speaker D: Do we want any more of his stuff? [01:10:54] Speaker A: That's what I'm wondering. If any more of it is cursed and he just doesn't know about it. [01:10:59] Speaker B: That's the only thing I have from my. The person that I got that from, and I will not be doing business with them again. I will say that I'm no magic user myself. [01:11:10] Speaker A: Then you need to get a better magic assessor. [01:11:14] Speaker B: Well, I just told you, I will have words with my source. [01:11:18] Speaker A: Well, source, I thought you were saying the source of the item. Yes, you need a magic. You need an individual. Will gets in a business mode. Listen, you need a separate party, okay? There's people who are trying to sell you shit. And then you need an assessor. Somebody who is evaluating this. [01:11:33] Speaker B: Well, that sounds expensive. [01:11:35] Speaker A: No, not so bad. It's like a notary. She even does that. I point at Rafina because she said she's a notary. [01:11:43] Speaker E: Will's about to do a SWAT analysis for this guy's business. [01:11:47] Speaker B: Yes. [01:11:47] Speaker E: Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats. One of your threats is cursed items. But the spread is also an opportunity to get to the sense. Yes, because right now, your weakness is. [01:12:01] Speaker G: That you don't have enough Sensor. [01:12:02] Speaker B: Well, all right, then. I'll go find one. He still had his hands. [01:12:06] Speaker E: Hold on. [01:12:07] Speaker A: You don't. I'm not going to hurt you. God damn it. [01:12:10] Speaker E: Before. So how long in the meantime, what would it would Rosco think that it would have taken to attune to the. [01:12:17] Speaker B: You're attuned. [01:12:19] Speaker E: It happened. [01:12:20] Speaker B: Yep. [01:12:21] Speaker E: And it's smooth. It's fine. It's not. [01:12:23] Speaker A: Rosco gets a sense that turns into a snake. [01:12:25] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, it's fine. [01:12:26] Speaker A: Uh oh. His penis is a snake. He doesn't know it yet. [01:12:28] Speaker B: Oh, he knows it all. [01:12:30] Speaker A: His toes are snakes, his hair snakes. [01:12:32] Speaker D: Does he have a better yet. [01:12:34] Speaker E: Does he have a better understanding of what the staff does? [01:12:37] Speaker B: Yes, you do. You know what it does now? So the staff of the python, upon speaking the staff's command word, which you have confirmed is fangs, you throw the staff on the ground within 10ft of you, and it becomes a giant constrictor snake under your control. [01:12:55] Speaker E: That's cool. And then when I'm done with it, I get. [01:12:58] Speaker B: It turns into a snow. You just do fangs again whenever you want. [01:13:02] Speaker E: But if somebody kills the snake, does it turn back into a stand? [01:13:05] Speaker B: No, your staff is gone. [01:13:07] Speaker E: If the snake dies. [01:13:09] Speaker B: Yep. [01:13:10] Speaker E: The staff disappears. [01:13:11] Speaker B: Correct. [01:13:13] Speaker E: So as long as. But as long as I say snakes before the snake dies. [01:13:16] Speaker B: Don't say snakes. That won't do anything. [01:13:18] Speaker G: Thanks. [01:13:21] Speaker B: Panic hiss. [01:13:27] Speaker C: Fork tongue, rattle venom. [01:13:30] Speaker E: Do I know how many hit points about a snake a giant constrictor snake has? [01:13:36] Speaker B: Sure. It has. Oh, 60. [01:13:40] Speaker A: Wow. Nice. [01:13:41] Speaker E: Wow. Okay, cool. [01:13:42] Speaker A: Awesome. [01:13:43] Speaker E: All right. [01:13:44] Speaker C: Thank you. [01:13:44] Speaker D: That's a lot. [01:13:45] Speaker E: I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't a reason for Roscoe to come running back out and catch this guy before he leaves. [01:13:52] Speaker B: Oh, you love this guy. [01:13:53] Speaker E: He said he's just gonna be in there stroking a snake. [01:13:56] Speaker B: Oh, what's the snake's name? [01:14:01] Speaker C: Harry? [01:14:02] Speaker E: I haven't named it yet. [01:14:03] Speaker D: Okay. [01:14:04] Speaker E: It was just a euphemism. [01:14:06] Speaker B: Okay. [01:14:09] Speaker E: Masturbating. [01:14:09] Speaker B: Oh, okay. Yeah. The staff is not even near you. [01:14:12] Speaker A: Right. [01:14:13] Speaker B: It's on. It's propped up in the corner. Yeah. Kind of looking, though. Yeah.

You're trying to decide if you want to just rob him for everything he's got. The Dusk Queen has been threatened to have things shoved down her trachea and her nostril thing.
