Everyone and welcome back to Sagas of Sundry Goblin Mode. I'm Amy Vorpal. I'm your dungeon master and let's say hello to our minions of mayhem, aka the Terror Squad. Hi everyone, I'm Dan Casey. I'm playing Phibs, a wizard who's also a skeleton. Hello, I'm Danielle Radford.

I am playing busy. I am a bard, a little skelly babe, little skeleton. Skelly, Skelly, Skell girls. You'll find it. Skel girls. Yeah, we'll find it. We'll figure that by the end of episode 20. Hi, I'm Jason Winn.

I play Tippy the Goblin, who's an artificer who also has a gun. Oh, and congratulations so hard. Thank you. A lifelong dream of achieved. And with that, I think it's time to go ahead and part the veil of reality. And you notice that we are no longer in a very well-lit studio with looking just really aces

everyone's looking really great today. But we're not actually. We don't look great today. No. In fact, we are... We look terrible. We do. We look terrible. We're Skelet and the Goblins in the midst of a at the Fiends United headquarters as a bindle of Eunzug's bedsheets,

which we never described, but correct me if I'm wrong, I think they're black with an anvil and three tendrils of smoke coming off of them patterned. The only thing I remember asking was if they still smelled like Unzuk. I did not ask anything else. It was literally just like, can I see it, can I smell it? Like what is like, are there stains? Cinnamon and gas lighting.

It's pretty sick that he has his logo on his bed sheets. Yeah, that is awesome. And Palacius, your friend, or you're pretending to be his friend at least, he's no longer scrabbling to open it up because balloons have blossomed from the Bindel and are causing an even bigger party moment. You all are on the first floor. I'm going to say you're still within reach of the Bendel. And just before I'm going to let you decide what to do, you hear Vadul, the dwarf, wherebore,

show up in dwarf form, and he goes, ah! Who's ready for a talent show? And he transforms himself into a wearbore and then back into a dwarf and then back into a werebor. And Nordy, the drippy, the ectoplasm, he yells, The truthing judge sold us out. These slugswash barrels are already tapped, but it sounds like rocks and something else is inside.

More slog swash. And you hear various cries of cheer for the talent show, but also dismay over the already tapped slog wash barrels. What would you like to do, everybody? So we are currently, if I'm recalling, we are all in the basement level. Yes. Oh, that's right, yes. That's right.

You can't involve through the floor. Yeah, you opened the safe and you shoved all the things in a bendle. Yeah, we've got all in the bindle, we've got it hooked up, and then it went up, and then balloons, because that's how you know when, that's when you know, that a Kegar is now a rager. Of course. And so we're in the basement and we hear everyone now grousing because we did not bring a rager's full of slog shwash? No, they were filled with, if you remember, gunpowder. There was a little,

and some rocks. A protective wind. A smaller gunpowder barrel inside. Right, yeah. Okay, okay, right, right. But there was still some slog swashes, so you were able to, you know, get the party started. But yeah, people have noticed.

Okay, I look around the room, are there any, like empty barrels or something that could look like, okay. Oh yeah. I'm gonna run over to a barrel hearing this, right? and I'm going to empty my full rations of water, like water skin, all into it. Definitely, I don't know if it's gonna be enough,

but I wanna cast magical tinkering to give the odor of slog swash from the water. Okay, yeah, you're just able to do that. You now have a barrel that seems like it has some slog swash in it. Your rations of water, it's not enough to fill the entire thing, but. pouring a water bottle into a giant barrel.

Guys, help me out here. Does anybody have my fibs? Do you have the water on you? We don't drink. No. That's right. Damn. I have a small bag of sand.

Does that help you? No, not at all. I go, oh, I found some slugs washed downstairs. Performance. Okay. Performance. All right. Always picking what I'm not good at. Oh, okay.

19 minus 2, that's 17. 17. So you get some of the crowd storming down the stairs. actually. Okay. Yeah, I'd say that at this point, the party at 9 a.m. Monster hours is going pretty hard. We've got about 50 people and about 15 of them try to run down and get this new slog swash source.

As they're distracted, I go over to fibs and I'm like, come on, let's go, let's go, let's go. Yeah, you hear on your sending stones, Pekara going. Oh what time? Now you're just going to get on the ship and get out of here. I run upstairs, motioning Phibbs to go. Was there? I thought there was doors behind the safe. Yes, yes.

Displacer Beasts went out of. Yep, as you come down the stairs, the safe was kind of really nearby, and then, yeah, behind you, the doors that open out from under the cellar opened behind you. No, no, not the stairs. Go out this way.

Follow me. Also, I'd, just in the case, as he turns to me, I dropped, because I was still looking like Kaya because I had disguised cell phone. Oh, right. Oh, that's right. Would I have known, okay, hold on.

Would I have known that that's even Phibbs then? Because I didn't ever see him disguise self. You do. You know that that's, yeah, there's no, Phibs would come down and immediately give you a sign. It's me. Oh, Phibbs, sorry. You're so good at disguise self.

I had no idea. So kind of you to say. All right, I'll follow you. And so I'm following Phibbs. Yeah, you guys are running out, kind of where the Displacer Beasts are and where the carriages are set up. You see that right now the Bindle's still rising.

Do you communicate with, Picar, she's like, Dapper just wants to the ship, and when you're ready, where he should pick you up, he's got the bindle. So we don't have, they don't have anything else they can drop down from the ship for us to grab onto, do they? Do you ask that, Picara? Hey, Picarra.

Hi, it's busy. Hey, how's gone? Hi, gay, hey girl. Do you have another rope or something you can drop down, and then maybe we can... Oh right, we could drop that down right quick. Yeah, yeah, I think then we'd just get up on the ladder and then we can also watch the bindle as it goes up. Okay, perfect.

So, yeah, there's gonna be a little bit of time because right now the bindle's traveling through the the first floor, second floor, and the roof being cranked up, and then the ship is going to move and get to where you guys are. She goes, oh, yep, I'll give that to Dapa. There should be no problem. Okay, do we want to blow this place up before we leave? 100,000 million percent.

Okay. Yeah. Why did we put that gun on the barrel? Yes. So I just heard that. We should have said side-brize. We should have just said side-brize. Oh, dear.

I don't know. So the thing is, you just not drop the ladder just yet then. No, drop the ladder. Okay, so simultaneously, she's separate. Okay, okay. Drop the ladder. We've got a surprise for these suckers. No, I thought you were going to say surprise for me.

Not a surprise for me anymore. No exactly what's about to happen. She communicates that as far as you know, to duff her. And you're fairly alone right now. The displacer beasts have kind of crawled into the carriages. Kaya's nowhere to be seen. Okay. So how do we blow it?

up these barrels. Do we want to do burning hands, maybe? Because it's like you're going to. I've got a firebolt that I can get. Oh, that's what we're going to do. That's going to look so cool. As Phibs and Tippy run outside, where are we geographically? Like, are we near, can we run back in to the first floor? Where did it spit us out?

Yeah, good call. So the facade, the front of the manor, is facing east. You guys are popped out the butthole in the west. Popped out the butthole. Pop out the butt hole. Got it. There is a door further north on the side of the building, but on the side that you're on that seems like, yeah, the friend's entrance. Into the message stone talking to Bizzy.

Bizzy, you gotta clear the area. We're gonna blow this joint. Oh, goodness, okay. Clear the area of people? Oh, of you. I don't care about the people. Get out of there. Okay, I was wondering, because I was like, I do not have time for that.

No, it's every skeleton for her and himself. So, Busy just starts heading towards out, I guess, at the butthole. I guess Busy follows at the butthole. the butthole. Okay, cool. You hear a voice on the sending sound goes, I've got to say, I like the new confidence. Thanks. It seems to me, huh? In your voice, I can just tell over the voice. Not a big deal. Some could say I'm a new, new goblin with that, uh, that you could date. Don't you change too much. Okay, I'm sorry. Damn. Sidebar real quick. I feel like she was into me and now she's like, I feel like I'm in

some sort of zone. That was going to be okay. We're going to get out of this. This zone, no zones, we are out of zones. Earlier she gave me a wet willie, like, that's not good. Oh, that's not great. I can't really speak the moisture, I don't really feel it that much. I wouldn't like it either way.

I thought y'all liked moist stuff, but. Well, no, not in the ear, you know what I mean? Oh. We don't like that. Yeah, I don't know, I don't have an ear. I'll try again with her, but let's blow this place. Okay, you see the ladder does come down from the airship from up above.

When you look up above, you see this pretty, It's almost like a very, very small yacht version of an airship. Really well made, but also a little broken down and need some tinkering as most airships do. Still, a nice beautiful vessel. And it is powered, it looks like, by a ring around its center that just goes horizontally, this ring of energy, this ring of force, elemental force.

The ladder that drops down, that is a standard rope and wooden ladder, and it is able to get really close to the ground, two or three feet above the ground as it hovers. Is he just gonna jump up and grab a rung and start climbing up? How close to the mansion is this? Pretty close. Okay.

Yeah, very like, wherever busy was, so maybe 10 feet away from where the doors from the cellar opened up into the back. Were there torches on the wall? Oh, you know, it's the Fiends United headquarters and most of them have come from dungeons, so yeah, there's gonna be wall sconces with torches. Okay, cool.

Just so. Okay, so you're climbing the ladder? Yeah. Are you, what do you doing? I'm backing Fibbs up. I'm like right behind Fibbs. Okay, awesome. All right, Fibbs is going to rub his bony chin

and he's like, I've got it. And he doesn't have a clear shot with a fire bolt. So what he's going to do instead is send his mage hand in. He's going to snap his fingers and a little spectral skeletal hand comes out and starts all the way going through the house. And I tell it to find the nearest torch and then ignite the nearest barrel. Right before you do that, I go, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

What? Chab. Is Chabab in here? We gotta get Chab out. Oh, God, we've got to get Chab! I put him in the door as Fibb's skeletal hand is grabbing the nearest torch. And I'm going, Chab! Chab, where are you, Chab? And he goes, oh, oh, wait, all right, go.

And he, like, runs up the stairs. And you haven't seen anything like this from Chab before. You're very impressed by the acrobatics with which he launches himself and dangles and holds on to the the bindle as it's crawling up. As he goes up, he gives you a thumbs up and goes, thanks, mate. Wow, if I could see this, I would be very impressed by his upper body strength, but I can't, so I won't.

Chab didn't tell me he was into gymnastics. All right, fibs, blow this sucker. All right, sorry, Berg. I don't know you, but I think you're still in there. Who's Berg? I don't know. As I have my mage hand's. Oh, he's the ogre.

I know. As I have my mage hand light, the proverbial fuse, I'm also going to be running. in presumably slow motion towards the ladder. Okay, and you're following him, Tiffey? How does the torch go down into the, like, can you paint the picture? Yeah, so you just yelled for Chab,

he's gotten his escape. Fibbs's spectral hand is floating towards this sconce. No one's really taking note of it. Of course, this spectral hand is in the Fiends unit. It picks up the torch from the sconce, kind of, you can tell it's searching for the nearest barrel. It does see like a Cobald holding the barrel and just screaming bloody murder, I guess, thinking that if it yells long enough, slugs.

Greetings, adventurers. Spring has sprung here in Los Angeles, and that means it's a brief period where it's only 75 degrees instead of 95 degrees. I'll take it. And that means I've been outside a lot more. Walking around, occasionally galloping after a toddler hopped up on juice boxes, traveling a bit. You know the vibe. And after doing some spring cleaning, my wardrobe, I got to say, looking a little bit sad.

I want clothes that can keep up with me and my son, but updating my wardrobe every spring sounds pretty expensive. So that's why I wound up signing up for Fabletics as a VIP. It let me overhaul my springtime outfits without obliterating my bank account. New VIPs unlock major savings on that first purchase, so trying new fits feels way more doable. When I signed up as a new VIP with Fabletics, I got 70 to 80% off everything. It made it easy to grab a few new pieces without overthinking it. And the quality really surprised me. Everything feels premium and soft and breathable, but you're not paying those premium prices.

The kind of stuff you can throw in in the morning and not worry about later. When I'm at home, my favorite thing to pull on is the oversized hoodie. It's so comfy I could just live in it 24-7. It's perfect for walking my dog on like a chilly night. But what I'm out and about, I've really been loving the ribbed Johnny Collar Polo.

It makes me look like I should be taking a high-powered meeting by the pool at the White Lotus, but hopefully with less murder involved. I don't know. It's insanely comfortable. I highly recommend it. So shop now at fabletics.com slash critical role to get 70 to 80% off everything when you sign up as a new VIP.

And now, on to the show. Greetings, Adventures, adventurers. Lately, I've been getting a bit more intentional about what I wear from day to day, because instead of just falling out of whatever laundry baskets nearby, I've been leaning into pieces that feel easy and comfortable, but still put together, because it just makes getting dressed simpler when I have a plan. Quince has been my go-to to help with that, because the fabrics feel elevated, the fits are clean and everything just works without me needing to overthink it.

And Quintz has all the wardrobe staples you need for spring. Think 100% European linen shorts and shirts from just $34. They're lightweight, they're breathable, they're comfortable, your legs and torso will thank you, and you will still look put together. And clean 100% Pima Cotton Tees with a softness. Well, you got to feel that to believe it, believe you me. Their pants also hit that same balance. They're relaxed, they're comfortable, but still polished enough to wear bare.

basically anywhere. And everything's priced between 50 and 80% less than what you'd find at similar brands. Quince works directly with ethical factories and cuts out the middlemen, so you're getting premium materials without the markup. And since spring is here in Los Angeles, a brief period where it's 75 degrees instead of 95 degrees, I spruced up my wardrobe with a pair of the comfort stretch traveler five pocket pants and the heritage wash denim shirt.

Quince.com slash critical roll. squash will appear and the spectral hand dips over that barrel and just kind of like a comedian with a mic drops it into the barrel. There's a pause as things burn away, a bit more of a pause, a little bit more. They're on the ladder and that's when the sound of sucking air. blows up, you hear two more booms as other, where are you, what are you doing? So, it's over.

You're just staring like that. I mean, it doesn't take long and the gunpowder barrels are wooden. So like, slow motion as Fibbs is running past me, Tippy gets a weird sense of like, did he do the right thing? And so just momentarily freezes, looking at the cobald wondering like, oh, they,

Oh, you gotta die. That guy's gonna get blown to this. Am I bad? And then I shake it off. I run to the ladder. Okay, perfect. Okay, so you all are on the ladder. No problem.

Everyone really quickly just roll with advantage, because the ladder's gonna be helping you. This is gonna be an acrobatics or an athletic trick. Okay, I'm gonna take acrobatics. about it. With advantage. Thank God for advantage. Oh, yes, same.

18, 19. Nine. No. What? Really? Nine. No. Okay.

You're going to have a hard time hanging on. In fact, you're the first one on, so you fall down. You actually do fall a couple rungs. You're just not able to hang on for as long as they are. You fall down towards fibs, but you right now do not have purchase on the ladder. Oh no. Oh, so I'm not hanging on. at all?

Yeah, you lost your grip. Okay, but I'm just free falling. At the moment. As I'm free falling, Busy is going to take off one of her arms and hold it in the other arm and use it to like gain like more leverage to like hook one hand up onto the... Like one of those little grabby sticks. It's perfect, perfect. Okay, and you're grabbing back onto the ladder?

Yeah. Okay. with your bones. So you do have proficiency, so add your proficiency and strength to that. Okay, so proficiency, oh, what? Okay, so that's two. Oh, you said, with advantage? No, you didn't.

I did not. I dreamed that you did. It's just a acral. Okay, so that's a two, and then to hit, so that's five, and then with my proficiency, that is seven. Seven. That's a seven. Okay, so that's what you see, Phibbs.

You see as she's scrabbling, she rips her arm off, she used. uses it like a claw extension, but she whiffs it as the ladder is moving back and forth as it's being raised. In a panic, I grab on my pouches and pull out of feather and throw it to her and cast featherfall on. Okay. Busy to hopefully slow her descent so she can maybe

grab the ladder in a easier way. This, this is what I'm, perfect, absolutely perfect. So, Phibbs is close enough to reach you, but he does not grab onto your arm. What he does instead is hands you a feather. Take this. I made strength. What the fles on with all of his strength?

Do I see any of this yet? Yeah, Timmy, she's falling right by you now. I'm gonna go, sick feather. I'm just kidding, get it, kidding. I'm going to quickly just unfurl the rope that's attached to my pack, because I have a rope on me, so I just pull the latch on the latch on the, on the rope where it's usually coiled,

and I let it go so that the full length of the rope is dangling out behind me. Okay, awesome. Grab the rope! You are able to just throw the rope out, and Danielle make one more athletics check. What do we do it? Wait, with the help action, so it's with advantage.

It's with advantage, all right. Oh, God. Okay, so that's good, and then that's bad. So 16, 16, I'll do it. Yeah, oh, no, and then with my, yeah, so we're good. We're good. Okay, so you've got a fibs on the ladder, a tippy on the ladder, a feather in your hand,

which I'm gonna say you went ahead and used it. Yeah. And we're able to slow enough to grab onto the rope that is dangling from tippy at the base of the ladder. Meanwhile, Chab on the bindle is also being raised up. The entire house is blowing up and you see one of the carriages from in the backyard of the house start moving off to the south. As far as you know, the last you checked, the only things in there were the displacer beasts.

You don't see anything driving the carriages. You are now flying up to the sky. You're able to make it into the cabin of the ship. You see Dapper at the helm flying this thing by himself. Chab does start wrangling some ropes and doing some grip and crew work for him. You have just landed safely on the cabin of the ship. It's a mix of wood and then different metals,

mostly like bronze and copper, lots of gears and ropes tying things together. It's a really nice looking ship. You are entering into the cabin of it and then you see steps that go up to the deck. Bibbs is just, he can't stop looking over the railing. Okay. He's just like, oh my God, I was down there,

now I'm up here. And you know what, he's just constantly having that of like whenever you're on, speaking for personal experience, whenever I'm on a tall building, I'm like, just, he's just picturing himself, like, falling. And like, he's getting this intense sense of vertigo where he's like, I thought I wanted to be up here, but, oh man, I can't stop thinking about jumping off

of this thing, that'd be crazy. So you see, you feel a hand on your shoulder as Chab comes behind you. And he goes, I, well, don't you get away from that edge? You're right. Mall hopped up. Was he kegid, became a rage, and then explosive. Yeah, explosive.

You think we like blew it all up? Yeah, I do. The whole thing? I mean, I've done some pirating in me days, and yeah, that looks pretty well done. Yeah, huh. You think anybody survived that, or? Oh yeah, I mean, there are plenty of monsters

with immunity to fire. I mean, all right. Definitely on a Cobold though. Those guys explode at the drop of a head. No. What? Yeah. Very exploding.

Some of the oozes probably. Some of the oozes, anything elemental perhaps. But I would say Cobold really dead, really dead. Burnt to a crisp. Tippy throws up. Tippy starts vomiting. Tippy starts vomiting. Oh, just on the day.

Br! All right. Get it all out. Get it all out. How are you doing? How you doing tips? Just a little nauseous. Uh huh.

Maybe filled with more puke or in man's guilt. I'm not sure. Wait, wait, wait. And Chav comes up and goes, you're feeling guilt. No, did I say guilt? I meant to say, I feel better. Do you know the evil? Fiends you know, yeah.

Do you know they hired gallantlings to clear out entire dungeons? They hired them? They hired them? Yeah. How do you know that? Because the gallantlings came to steal from us. And you found out that they were hired by the fiends.

United. That's how they always knew. What dungeons they could go take over. So it was good to blow them up. It was the only way. They could come up. They killed all our friends. Yeah, they killed Maxwell.

They did steal our house. I just feel like blowing them all to bits with so much gunpowder I mean there was like four barrels It's still going An irresponsible amount Yeah I don't know why we had that much

We probably over needed like that moment Hello crater of sorrow There's some competition in town Whatever this mansion used to be Oh Tiffy doesn't think that's funny Tipy it's maybe next time Instead of blowing up a house Because we think it's cool

next time we can talk to everybody and be like, are you evil? Yes or no. Vergh is down there. Verk would have got away, though. Vergh's... Yeah. The auctioneer.

Yeah. You guys kind of have the thing. You know, well, no, we didn't. I mean, he was, like, super into it, but I was like, I want to keep it profesh. We have a job. We, like, have something to do. Actors.

It was all... Actors. And he's method, so he can use being burned alive. Yeah, there's just no way to know, is there? So is there, like, gonna be, like, I don't know, like a, like a fire squad, or like somebody putting that big old blaze out? Well, let's take a look, and he looks overboard, and actually what you see, I mean, you're still flying upwards. But you do see monsters and fiends coming from the heart of the city where the drooling dredch was and heading out towards the Fiends United Headquarters. Well, roll a perception check.

Okay. I see nothing. I rolled a four. You know what? I think this falls under knack-brecker rules, if I'm not mistaken. Neck-brecker rules. We're handling our business. So you can tell that ship is corkscrewing, spiraling upwards.

Is this good? It's the... And the deposition... It's actually the fastest way we can get the height is, instead of going straight up, which, you know, would put us at a weird angle, Yeah, we're just gonna do a corkscrew motion. We're doing great, everyone.

As you get closer, you see that this is actually like a really masterpiece of architecture up above. It's like small tutor-style apartments stacked on top of each other. The shape of it as you look above is there are four larger areas, rectangular shaped on each of the corners of this rectangular-shaped city. Three of the four corners are where the ship would fly into hangers.

And then the fourth one just looks like a metal box from below. It just looks like it's not a hanger, but there's something there. It's a larger area piece. And then everything else is connected with wooden planks that criss-cross above the tiers and between the buildings. Remind me, where is this relative to NACBRAC off? Almost directly above it.

Oh, interesting. So it's only accessible by airship? Only accessible by airship. Oh, cool. So it's like a sky fortress. It sure is. Is it just floating? Yeah, it's just floater.

Oh, sick. All right. No further questions, Your Honor. As Dupor finishes his ascent, he brings you into one of the larger buildings, one of those hangers, and he does urge you to disembark. You see a couple of people greet him, and one of them is a male halfling,

and Dupor himself is a male halfling, and dress in the exact same manner. I'm seeing double. Yeah, not quite. This one has more facial hair, but you can see that. embrace and kind of share some words like, oh, you made it back. Another person who comes and greets you is a stately elf.

She's decorated in metal scrap, studded leather, but more like bolts and screws and other mechanical items. She looks like the official kind of greeting committee. And alongside this stately elf, you also see someone with just loads of swagger, this additional figure who is... Yay! Yay!

Let's go. Yes, my pleasure to welcome to Suggas of Sundry Goblin Mode, our friend, Ify Wadiway. Yes. Hi, Iphe! Hey, how's it going? Going great. So, will you tell these minions what type of figure they actually see?

Well, when you look over at me, you see this kind of large, muscular, blue creature, kind of humanoid, slightly furry, has the kind of like blooming pants, like, like a pirate does, the big boots, but they're kind of wide. So you can tell I probably have some monstrous feet. I've got a nice kind of like silvery chest hair down. Dang. Down the middle.

And he kind of has like that pirate's shirt, but it's opened up. And one arm is completely mechanical. He has two large horns curling out of his forehead. And he has these like long silvery locks kind of coming down the sides of his head, about shoulder, A great kind of like five o'clock shadowy, low beard,

nice little mustache. And it's just kind of like posted up, looking at everyone. The other thing to know about this creature is that he is about nine feet tall. Whoa. Damn. He's a big dude. He also wears a captain's hat.

So he is the captain, and you can tell right away, but he's got more of a smile on his face.

They're humanoids that have turned into wear-folk. This is not a humanoid turned into a werefolk. This is a monster in his own right.

Tippy freezes in his track, seeing this nine-foot-tall looming figure and goes, guys, I think that is the coolest monster I have ever seen. His hair's like yours, but, like, yours. cooler. But it makes sense. Yeah, like it makes sense. I thought I looked cool when I was doing the lean. He's doing the lean, and it looks way cooler and I don't look like that at all.

Oh my god, did he just lean further? He leaned further. Okay, I got this. I can be cool. Remember, I know how to be cool. Of course. I don't know what to say. Busy, take the lead because I'm very, very intimidated.

I practice this. I practice this. Is there a chair? Oh, there is now. Yeah, of course. There is a chair. Busy goes and grabs a chair. Scree!

Plants it right in front of the captain, so the seat back is in front of him, and then Busy sits in the chair backwards. Oh, wait, just here. Okay. And stares up at him and says, hey, captain, my name's Busy, and we just came and brought all of the loot

to your fine, I'm biffing it, your fine ship. Airship. Airship, airship. Airship. That's gorgeous. It's gorgeous. This is right. That's perfect.

That's perfect. That's perfect. I mean, well, we're just getting a loot together. I mean, let's look what's in it. Let's get inside. Captain, as you come down, the stately elf actually has a stern look. You are just going to let these people

come into our city just after the yester dusters fooled us. Chab, Dupor, do you have anything to say for yourselves? And Dupor pulls away from his embrace with his bearded fellow, and he and Chab, come up and goes, right, right, listen, Smelly. And Captain, the thing is, they're good for it. They helped us immensely. Well, you know, they had me at the treasure.

You look, Smelly. You're focusing on the wrong things. They said they have loot for us. Yeah, that was the mission. So do they get another gold medal just for doing their job? Well, yeah, I feel like people should be appreciated for the work. How much, how often do I tell you you're doing a good job?

Like, almost never. Wow, she's like so high-strung, She's like always needs to be validated. It's like, I don't know. I could never hang out with anybody like that. A little positive reinforcement does go a long way. You're doing a great job at really ruining the vibe right now. Yeah, your narcking is fantastic.

I've never seen anyone narc better than you. Oh, you don't know what we've been through. Aren't you missing at least one of the marked who went on this mission in the first place? Are we missing somebody? Did we miss somebody? There's Chab, there's the Dapper. That's it.

You asking about Pecora? She was off-site. Yeah, Pecora is like our eyes in the sky sort of situation. No, no, Pecora was meant to come back. What? Isn't like a future encounter with her, like a future episode of whatever our life is? Wait, Chab.

Chab, Dapper, you have to explain yourself. And Chab goes, I wasn't fly on the ship. I fought the same thing as these other guys did. I'm sorry. And Depper goes, look, I'll take full accountability for it. The thing is, I couldn't go back to the campsite where Pecara was. She might have gotten out alive,

but I saw who you all were talking to. I think she's the leader of the fiends here. I think she was Kaya, and she was making her way over to that campsite when I was in the air. And I kind of flew over to see if I could help. What? And she blasted at the airship,

and we just don't have enough resources. Like, Kaya's on the way to Pecora? I thought she was already on the air. And you hear, uh, I was wondering when you might call in. Pecara, your voice sounds really different. Well, it's not Pecara, is it? Okay, who is it? Because it's only supposed to be Pecora, like, me and my friend busy.

It's me. It's me and I suppose. Who's me? Is your name me? No, I'm Kaya. Oh my God. Kaya! And I suppose that those on the other end of this stone have rescinded my invitation to come

with me on my caravan, which is fine. But there will be consequences to denying invitations. What do you mean? My name's Rippy, and I'm still into it. You're not one of those who I spoke to. I didn't invite you anywhere. It was the two skeletons. Exactly. I'm a new person. Outside, I found the stone. Oh, God. Well, I've got your little humanoid complaining menace of a man, and I've got your little goblin wear-marm. Hey, if you hurt Pecora, I will unload the chamber right into your stupid face. And you hear her, goes, he says he's going to unload a chamber.

And you hear Pecara goes, like I said, I knew I had people coming for me. If you know she trusts you. Heard her, me and my two skeleton friends, and we just met like a nine-foot-tall, like big old. Oh, oh, sorry, I'm losing signal. What? Damn, what's that noise? I don't know, I can't hear it. I don't have one of these stones.

I can't hear it. What was he saying? Rage just throws the stuff. No! No. I still have mine, I guess. Okay. Sorry.

Yeah, it seems like there was mistakes that were made. Mr. Mr. Big Guy. What's your name? Rattelg. Ritalg. And you're Rippie? I know, I'm Tippy.

I told a lie. I'm not a liar, though. Okay. And coincidentally, my name is Fibbs. but after the bone, not the lie. And that's busy. Hi, I'm busy, man. Busy's introduce themselves.

We're the Terror Squad? Oh, good. Yes. Yeah, we're the Terror Squad. We came from Eun-Zug's Lair. Oh. Oh. That is very impressive, Captain.

Yeah, yeah, because you made a sound that made to seem like I should know. Let's talk, let's have a little, a sidebar? A sidebar? No. We want to have a sidebar with us? We do this thing called a sidebar and- No, we're gonna have a corner.

corner conversation. Corner combo, that's a new one. So we're gonna ask that. That's new, I've never even thought of that. Why should I know this? You've been celebrating too much lately. Am I in the corner too? You can't celebrate too much.

It's part of me. Am I in between the corner? You are. You are. I should get out of the corner because I feel like this. Stay in the corner, we need a man in the corner. I'm gonna say in the corner.

I'm in the corner. Okay. You know in the desolation there are so many layers of evil overlords. So many layers of evil overlords. Unzook is one of them. Are you the top guy? Are you the top guy?

But his layer. His lair was just decimated. Decimated. By the Fiends, by the Yester Dusters. And other Galletlings at the Fiends Union. Higher. I'm in the corner. Okay, so these guys killed a person they were working for?

Yeah. Wait, now I'm confused because I don't, all right, keep going. Okay, the Yester Dusters were the guys who robbed from us. Rob from us. About a couple of weeks ago. A couple weeks ago. They robbed from us. Yeah, they robbed from us.

They tricked us. They tricked us. I should probably eat that one that looks like a baby. Sidebars are so much better, guys. Do you want to eat? Are you hungry, sir? Yeah, yeah. Are you hungry, sir?

Yeah, I am hungry, actually. Yeah, why are you looking at me like I'm... You know, it's just, there's rumors that, you know, only like to eat babies, which is crazy. What? I'm not a baby, I'm a goblin. I'm a full, I'm an adult. You look like a baby.

You look like a baby. You look like a baby. coming into my own, like my facial hair isn't grown in yet. Maybe I'm just, you know, like a... Don't worry, all this stuff that makes facial hair comes, it makes people taste weird. Taste weird? Before you have facial hair, you taste the best.

No, no, I don't taste good at all. In fact, I taste like farts and slime. Oh, farts and slime. Yeah, farts, slime, and poison. I was poisoned once. Oh. And so maybe that's still in me. Pretty recently.

Maybe I'm part poisoned. Captain, if this is something that you would like, I can arrange for this to happen. Corner conversation. I'm calling another corner. Okay. This is actually more of a sidebar. Okay.

I mean these guys want to say, eat me. I have a question. Are you a baby and you didn't tell us? It's okay if you are. I'm not a baby. We're still friends with you. Like, I'll be friends with a baby. I'm grown.

I'm grown. I know a lot about life. I just haven't inhibited or like, you know, done some of the stuff that other goblins have done or get to do because they had all their support. They had a clan. They had a family. They had all sorts of things.

And I had in Zook. So, you know, maybe I'm a little sheltered, maybe, like, held back, but like, I'm a man goblin. I believe you. You're a man goblin. And will not let you get gobbled. Yeah. Please don't let me get gobbled. Mr. Buffkeye, I'm sorry, you can't gobble our grown-ass man-goblin friend.

Okay, well, if it's a man, I don't want to eat him. Grown-ass man. If you have a thirst for baby flesh, we can broker some sort of deal, right guys? No, no, no, no, no, no, I don't need a deal. We could get baby flesh for him. No problem. You get any baby I want. Okay.

I'm getting into, you, I just need it to be clear that you're not making new deals. Is that, you're not making new deals without me? No, no, I'm not making any new deals. You're doing great. I think she's really taking that to heart. Baby flesh or not, we need help. Well, let's look at this treasure first. You came up, you talked about this loot, I gotta see what's in it.

We do have to warn you, it's not in dungeon dollars, it's in gold. Yeah. That's perfect. That's ideal. That's kind of what we like. Oh, really? Yeah, the bad thing would be if it was dungeon dollars. Interesting.

Dupra goes, right, well, it would be remiss if we did the honors ourselves, but I think it's worth saying these three were impeccable to our mission, and I'd like them to do the honors of opening the bed sheet. Of course, Dapper, of course. I need you to just answer one thing for me. Right. And I do not lie. I need the truth from me.

Is this guy a baby? Tell him the truth. The sundari honest truth is I have no idea. Not a baby. Still on the table. All right. Well, yes, I think you're right. The way we like to do things, though the pirate's way.

Tipy's like, if you get the loop. You open it up. Let's go. Get it in. All right, in the count of three, we each take one corner of the sheep. Yes. All right. One.

One, two, three. And it really is a pile that's about two and a half feet tall. Wow. And it is... Baby-sized. Most of it is gold and treasure. To your eye, Captain Rattelg, you would know it's about 30,000 gold pieces mixed in with some other stuff. I mean, this is loot from a bunch of different dungeons.

The other thing that you see, what you know is the decoy or fake chalice of curses. of Kyrkin. You know that you at Wretched Cove own the real Chalice of Kirkin. You also see the staff of Roll Bear and this looks like a Python-headed staff. And then there are just loads of documents. It looks like letters and deals and documents with signatures and insignias all over them. So then I would then look at Smelly and was like, well, you like reading and documents. Smelly, I want you to go through that and see. If there's any information we can get,

trade routes that we can interrupt, you know, things we do best. Not to be rude, can you not read? No, I don't like to read. You don't like to, or you can't read? Yeah, I've learned. Because you know who else can't read, babies. Oh yeah, sure.

You need to watch your mouth. When you're talking about the literal captain of the marked. Oh, my God, he's just a dude, like, he's nice. Yes, that's. So like, do you turn into something? A baby? Aware baby. A wear baby.

Be bitten by a baby on a dark moony night. Oh, so it's so sad because then he's like hungry for himself, but he can't. Okay, you're telling a joke, but he actually could turn into a baby. Really? Yeah? Yeah. In just that second, he just turns into a baby's side. Oh my god!

Excuse me? What is going on? A little human baby and Smelly picks him up and like, holds him. Okay, a hypocrite bunch? Because that's a baby. Well, now I guess you can see the differences and the similarities. But in his accent change.

You look very close. He's a baby. It's hard to . This is what babies talk like. Okay, I'm sorry I doubted you, because I guess you are a baby. Look more like this than me. I mean, is he stuck as a baby or?

No. And that moment he turns back nine feet, but he looks like a nine foot goblin. What? This is how I perceived goblins look. You don't look like this. You look like the baby version of me right now. I think you've never met a goblet because

goblins look like this guy. I don't know. Seeing this, I feel like this should be his size. How are you doing this? No, I'm a shapeshifter. And at that point he turns into an ony skeleton, but his bones are blue, same horns. Whoa!

That's sick. That's so cool. That's so cool. Not unless I paint myself with spill. Busy, she's like, Buzzy, you're gonna break something, busy. Bizzy? So Smelly goes, that's right, that's right.

Our captain is very impressive. He is already a monster, whereas most of us are humanoid who can shift into the beast form when we were bitten. But he already is monster. And Smelly, what's biting you? Yeah, what bit you? Look, there's just a little. a lot on my plate.

Oh, you mean, what literally. I mean, however you interpret this, is what I was asking you. A trauma dump if you want. No, no, I thought you meant what, like, I thought you meant why you think I have something up my butthole. I turn into a bear, I'm a wear bear.

Oh, okay, that's pretty cool. Yeah, it's very cool. And here, that is completely polite to talk about. You can just ask people. You seem very competent. Okay. Would you mind as one competent to another competent, if I just take those files,

busy like pulls out our clipboard, because I can keep them here so that we keep them organized? To your point, yes, I was just ordered to go through all of these papers, and with your help, I think we could do that together a lot quicker. Okay? The captain wants to loot right now.

Yes, yes, that is right, Smalley. But you do wanna check in. Does my first mate need a first mate? It does seem like, you know, is. Like a boson? Yeah, he seemed like a little. Yeah, you know, we're trying to live a pirate's life. That's why, you know, we, it's all fine.

Okay, I think I know what you want me to do, and that's to relax. That's not going to happen. Okay. But I think later on we could talk a little bit more about the hierarchy. I mean, just having a person, a skeleton with a clipboard already, I don't know, there's something about that

that makes me, what is this emotion? Maybe you're missing a clipboard. The day, okay, so then Busy starts, like, looking through, so Busy just the documents. Most of them are stuck together, But there's a bit of information. I'm busy, uh, Vitch is over for Tippy to lick her hand, liquor, like, so she can like get through all the stuck together pages.

Titty just instinctively does it. Who is, yeah. Who is reading these documents last? Okay, we have to talk. I do think an assistant with a clipboard, but then it looks like I also need an assistant with a tongue for the assistant with a clipboard. Well, you have a tongue.

No, but the little assistant licks the finger. So you wanna, I can lick your finger, whatever you want. Captain? It's the least I can do. It's the least I can do. Captain. Do the pirates have an HR department? I don't know.

That's all loud. Everything is above board here, baby. I just, it needs to be presence that we're learning something here about hierarchy and... Yes, so you want someone to hold a clipboard and you'll lick my finger. I'll lick your finger. Okay, all right. Well, anyway, that really, really good display right there. So, as you'll go through all of this, one of the things you find is a document, many times.

many documents from a source giving orders to the Fiends United. Now, a lot of these are things you already know, higher gallantlings to clear out the dungeons of Ordinell, Unzug, the Exohag and Aeon, and then there are other smaller tasks to do. There's mention of finding the five articles of the Sundari champion. There's also like this tone of what's going wrong, what happened with the chalice. Why don't you have that yet?

That kind of thing. Each of those letters, there is a kind of letterhead with an insignia that you haven't, you may or may not have seen it before, Phibbs, you may or may not have seen it before. Actually, busy too. Go ahead and roll. Lean over busy's shoulder.

Yeah, roll a history check. I gotta get new dice. It just has to happen. That's a four. No. And that's a seven. A seven. That's pretty cool shape anyway.

Yeah, you can discern that the insignia is a, sithe, like something used to clear the fields. But you don't know what faction that actually is. If you bring it to Smalley's attention, she does know. She just glances over at Captain and goes, The Fiends United seems to be an umbrella company. Underneath, the scythe of Aurelia.

They make umbrellas? The scythe of Aurelia. Huh. He kind of reaches to his sack, pops open a bottle with the starch That's an appropriate response. So I just want to make a note here. Help me help you. If I'm out of the loop, I cannot properly help you

as your assistant in this moment, so I need to know what that is. The site of Aurelia was responsible for raising Fraxis, the demon lord, who fought the battle at the searing, and both he and all of the Sundari were destroyed. We thought they were all gone. They're resurfacing, and the Fiends United is their cover. Saitha Verrili was pissed to find only the circlet in Eun-Zug's Lair. They thought there might have been another magic item,

and in fact, it was the only magic item in any of the four dungeons. They thought that there were more artifacts in those dungeons. The most recent orders are to abandon Nakhbreka and meet up with the scythe of Aurelia in the Earnedker Fathom. The last thing that you find, it's almost like a receipt. It seems to be extremely special, like this is in its own folder. Without too much discerning, you can tell that it's a receipt to be turned from a skeleton into a human woman.

It's a restoration type of receipt. and it's for 5,000 gold pieces. Does it have any, like, store information on it, like skeleton repair, like store number 579? Oh, my God. No store information, but it does have a name. I mean, it's definitely a caster. You wouldn't know what, but Gagongan.

And we don't know who the skeleton would have been that was, that it's on there. It's Kaya. She said, it's been a while. She said she made some comment about how seeing us reminded her of something in her past. Oh, my God. She's dead. She's a skeleton.

Now masquerading is some sort of human spellcaster. That's not fair. She doesn't just get to pass because she has 5,000 gold. I don't even know how many dungeon dollars that would be. She was a skeleton before? Yes. And we're sure she's not a shapeshifter like him? Wait, I have a question.

This could be Kaya, as you say, but there's no record of that. What makes you think that this transformation happened specifically to the leader of the Fiends United? Well, I'm no detective but context clues. This was found in the safe, in the basement of the Fiends United, main base of operations in Nakh Breka. They kept in there something that appears to be one of the articles of the Sundari.

They have all of their working capital. They have all of these important documents and privileged communications, including with what sounds like some kind of death cult that raised a demon lord. Yes, yes. If you had maybe a receipt, I don't know why you would keep this for, your most top secret of transformations facilitated by a spellcaster most foul, it stands to reason that perhaps this would be the person who intimated to us that she used to be of a bonier nature.

It might be a write-off, or maybe just in case she needs to have return. Of course. But 5,000 gold pieces, that is no small fee. Is that a lot? It is a lot. We have... Introducing the new best skin ever, ultra-slim precision concealer from Sephora Collection.

Own the dream. Like triple that. Visi just like kind of staring at that symbol again. I want to look at the symbol. Okay. And just see if like there's anything, even like touching it, tracing it. Is there any kind of magic she can feel coming off of it?

I would say, yeah, do investigation, investigation. That's in that 20. 23. Oh! Okay. So you do. You find something that was written on another sheet. of paper, but you can tell that with the imprints that this is a language in abyssal.

And you read the first line that seems like an order, combine the five to restore fraxis. The second line is a note. It just says the ritual room in fit, Fettel Delve. The third seems like stream of consciousness. It says Y6, but only five, question mark. And the other thing that you do see an abyssal is within the scythe insignia, you see the name written out.

And the name is Lux Ear, L-U-X-A-R. You didn't see it at first because it was expertly disguised within that sigil. Hmm. Okay, so weird death cult, and Vizzi's like trying to think, because Bizzy just had that big, like, flashback. where she was starting to remember some of her own stuff. And so busy is just like looking at that and goes like,

okay, so we know exactly what the plan is now that they were trying to do. I need to go talk to Kai Save Pecora. Save Pecora. Yes. And then while we're doing that. Murder Kaya. Maybe murder Kaya. Maybe murder Kaya.

And Dapper goes, you just met Pecora. And you were already talking about. rescue in one of ours. Captain, they're talking about rescue in one of ours. We haven't even given payment yet. Seems like you all have great intentions. And what's best is you don't care about this money. So I think we have to work together.

I think it's in our best interest to make sure everyone. Captain, I just have a suggestion. Okay. There's that matter at Valen's heap, but should that get solved and we have enough resources, we could offer them station within the marked. I'll even do you one better. You help us with this matter that we have at the heap.

You can be in the marked. We'll give you the real chalice. We'll give you an airship and give you a form of lichenthropy. Have anyone that can bite you and give you any form that you'd like? Oh, no thank you. No biting. All I heard was airship. I like airship.

Airship, airship, airship, airship, airship. Okay, okay, yes, yes, yes. I think all of that, really, you wanna just pass off the chalice right to them. What are we gonna use it for? It seems like, based on everything that you just said that the scythe is gonna be looking for it. So why would we put where we live at risk by holding it?

And if we join the marked, then it's really just like, Our chalice. Right. Yeah, our chalice. You know it's in the middle of the word, R, you. I have to say, I think that plan is actually one of the best

strategies you've ever come up with, Captain. I think drinking's helping me, so I'm gonna keep doing it. Yeah, if you play in it drunk. You gotta go through with a drunk. I don't know, I heard someone say that once, but I never... It's all good, I'm not there yet, but I'm on the road. So... Oh, he's so cool.

He's so cool. So cool. Wait, I have an important question before we go any further. What is the name of this vessel? Staggshorn. So cool. So cool. Oh, if we get a ship, can we name it?

Well, it already, she already has a name. Yeah. That what we would give them mischief. We would give them mischief, do you think? You want mischief? I think we should call it shippy. Shippy! Shippy!

Okay, if you rename a ship, there does have to be a cleansing ritual. She has to do. But yeah, I think, sure, whatever. Yeah, if they do the cleansing ritual. Now they would need one of us to fly it for our lichenthropic bond with it, but that's fine. I volunteer and chab, he goes, I'll do too, that's fine, and we'll get a crew together. If we're all rescuing Piccaro, we're all going to the same location.

Yeah, and question for you, Cap, since you're so cool, you probably already have this covered. Do you have a gun? Oh, I have a gun. Look. Oh wow. And I flash my piece. Like, I don't need a gun, but I can get one. Do you need a gun?

Or are you asking if I have one? I don't need guns because I don't know. Like, I'm afraid that I would blow an arm off or something. It's just that we've noticed that everyone who carries a gun automatically gets like a lot cooler and like better, whatever they do. More confident. Yeah. Stronger, faster. All I have is this and he just kind of pulls out a glave and he kind of does like a spin thing in the back, throws it up, and then slashes it forward.

and then puts it right back on his back. Phibbs his torso slowly slides off his hip rods. He's like, oh my God, on the floor. That was so cool. Climes back up and just screws himself back on. Sorry about that. No apology needed. Sometimes he just get in the mode,

and I think a little bit of the drink is getting to me. I love it. Chad, look what I can do. This is a pressurized gap? Oh, he's celebrating. He's doing the celebration. Yeah, he's doing the Pirates celebration. Hold on.

Yes, yes. And other pirates. Oh, is he talking for that then? And they start shooting and they're like, happy loot, happy loot. Congratulations. Wow. Stagg's hog, congratulations. Everyone is so confident.

Here, Busy try it. I toss Busy the gun. Busy catches the gun. How hard could this be? Busy aims the gun up at the sky and shoots it, but it's so heavy that our whole whole, the little hand just falls off. Okay, joining the goddial.

I'll take that back. Hand is still attached. Yeah, hand is still attached. You actually do see Smelly even. She doesn't throw anything, but she raises her hand and says, congratulations, stagged horn on a successful, on a successful quest. Yes, yes. Stagg's horn.

Stagg's horn. Stag's horn. And in the midst of these, like, weird festivities, you actually do notice someone who looks a lot like Pekara, Pecara, a little goblin, a little green goblin. It looks like she's still got her goggles on from being a mechanic. And she goes, oh, right, we're celebrating Stakeshorn. Pecora!

Oh, right, Pecora! Oh, who is she? Oh, I'm Pliksie. My sister was just on, I guess it was the journey with you guys. Yeah, I didn't know. Kora had a sister and Bikora is somewhere being really safe and having a great time. Deep undercover. So we're gonna go and grab Bacora and we'll be right.

Bacora's not here. Chab? Dapper? What the actual hell? Tippy gets really nervous and really like uncomfortable and tries to hide behind the captain's leg. And he just grabbed, he was like, yeah, you didn't want you to go tell her where a sister is. This would be a good time. You know, you're about to help us out,

and then we're gonna help you. Get it back when you lost her. Hey. Hey, Plixie. You were a little goblin? Yeah, this is Tippy. You know, he went and he met your sister. I did.

And yeah, what happened? And can I just say, not to make it weird, but like you guys look really similar, and she's just maybe one of the most beautiful goblins I've ever seen, so. Oh, you think my sister's beautiful, do you? Yeah, I, I think. I think Pecora is the most beautiful goblin I've ever seen.

Well, maybe it would serve you to learn a name, right? Pecara. Pecara? Yeah. It's Pecora. It's for sure. It's probably. I've heard Pecora.

Sorry. I think you're saying your sister's name wrong. Oh, my sister. You're saying it wrong. We're saying it right. Yeah, it's a quick sidebar. It's definitely Pecorra. It's Pachora.

It's Pachora. 100% Pecorra. Yeah. So, you're just going to call that Pecorra. Yeah. Okay, that's just a pet name, I suppose. Anyway, and as long as you know that you're wrong. Don't tell her.

She's not even here. So you met her and then you abandoned her immediately. I did abandon her. I thought you guys had a plan to get her, because otherwise I would have demanded or requested that she'd come with us. She was kind of like in the Overwatch position. Oh, in the Overwatch position, huh?

You know, that's definitely something I read about a technical manual once. No, no. She and her, You know, when we go off a mission, that's our job. That doesn't mean we get to be left behind. Yeah, yeah. You're left behind. That's what we said.

Look, I know there are emotions here, and I don't like those. And so we don't. You feel the emotions. Every time we talk about emotions, you get real stiff. Yes, it's because I don't. This guy is obviously in love.

And then he's confused because he's meeting the love of his life's sister. And he's like, whoa, she's hot too. Look, we're, we're. Hey, I'm not in love. I don't know what love is. Okay. Okay. And if I was in love, I would know. Okay. So you're just gonna go help a stranger that you just said was the most beautiful person you've ever seen.

Yeah. Save for their twin sister for no reason? What are you doing it for? Because you're a good baby? That just does stuff for no reason, but being delicious and good? I just feel like it's the right thing to do. Yeah, it is, it is. That's a good thing. I just, that's all, you know. It's not for love.

It's actually to, I don't know, be better. Okay. Well, that's fine. To not maybe be bad. I think to pay back Bacara, when she's back, Plixty, make sure you remind me, I'm gonna set her up with a hot goblin. What?

You don't care. What? You don't care. Why would you do that? because it feels like so not part of the mission. But you don't care. Well, just for me, I know I didn't take much part, but I've been doing a good job.

Does he have a promise? This is, this is, I'm trying to let someone. There will not be open. Oh, we're still celebrating. Oh, we're still celebrating. Oh, I'm sorry. Everybody settled out. There won't be any hot gobbly

because I'm taking Pecorra on a date. That's final. That's all I wanted to do. Not out of love. It's out of just curiosity because I've never been on a date. Hey, look, you've got to be open with your feelings. because it makes you look less like a baby to me and I want to eat you less.

Well, the thing is, screw you all. I'm gonna go get him myself. You're just talking. And she runs off. No, no, no. He's like chases after her. It chase after her. You can tell Captain, she's headed right towards Valen's heap.

Okay, we have to go because, like, I can't lose two of my goblins in one day. Let's go. And you follow after her. And as you're running, Smelly Hands, each of the three of you, a spell scroll. We're definitely not ready for what's in Valen's heap right now. The yesterdusters stirred it up when they were there and awoken something, and we haven't been back in two weeks, but all of our resources are there. So let's just hope that she can get through that alone.

So to Fibs, she hands a spell scroll of a movable object. And to Busy, a spell scroll of Maximilian's earthen grasp. Okay. And to Tivy, Smelly hands a spell scroll of heat, metal. Oh my god, amazing. And as you run up to Valen's heap, this is the other rectangular shape that you saw, this metal box in the sky. And it's about 100 feet by 100 feet. Big room that's just filled with metal, a junkyard, piles and mountains and hills stacked on top of each other. This is their non-system of organizing all the scrap that they've stolen over

longer than a century. As you approach, you're running across wooden planks, you see Plixie, this tiny goblin with little goggles on the top of her head, jumping and running over these little piles, picking up something and throwing it and picking up something and keeping it. If they're just going to keep talking and they're not going to plan anything, well, I'll just take it upon myself, Bacara. Don't work. about them I've got you I've got you she looks up she sees you and she tosses the one thing in her hand and says see I don't need you I can do this by myself and you said captain never to come to Bailent's heap well egg on your face look at me and just at the place

where she threw that last bit of scrap you see it vibrate as the junk kind of raises and then separates and leaves behind this seven foot metallic humanoid robot figure with red eyes glowing as it stands to full height and stares down at her. Oh, I immediately turn into a harpy to try and swoop in and pull her out of Harbswound. Perfect. So you turn into a harpy.

You see Plixy, look at your faces, and then slowly look behind her and scream. And that is where we will end this episode. episode. All right.
