Jack, are you okay? There's a little needle there. Oh, just a thing I noticed. How recent is this mud? Oh, shush, shh, shh, shh, shh. Whoa, they must be pretty full. I think it could explode at any moment. I used to break into my sister room a lot.

Oh, shit. So wait, we're gonna do this? Not to throw caution to the wind. Jack, you got a preference on which door? Maybe his dexterity is as good as mine. Yeah, you make a good point. Look up. That's all we know. Very, very well.

Have you ever heard the saying, Curiosity got the Tabaxi? how dare you I'm in Welcome back to This is season two Episode 103 Major Look

MVP this week is Prango the Goblin Prango was nominated by someone who wishes to remain anonymous, very interesting The following note was included in the nomination. Prango has wares. Prango will cut a deal. Prango is bold. Prango deserves MVP. Hard to argue with that sound logic. Thanks for the submission, Anonymous. I suppose this

week. Congratulations Prango. Thanks Prango. All right. Should we play some D&D? Yeah, let's do it. Woo! I got a good one. Let me start off because I'm... Okay. I was laughing at this. this thinking about it. We've been sitting here for 20 minutes waiting for Alex Guthrie to show up and Harlan's just been snickering to him so old. Because I was really excited about this idea. What could it be?

So I was thinking, okay, well, first off, this is a little bit of a game, so no Google. It's on keyboards. I don't have my glasses, so that's perfect. I can see if I even look something else. So I was thinking we're old. Like we're so much closer to 40 than anything else. And I guess it made me realize the slang of our. days is gone now.

Tubular. And I was thinking, oh, how fun would it be to, like, throw out some slang, kind of like a game, to see if you knew it, if you knew what it was, if you knew where it was about, and all that kind of stuff. The slang game. Can I make a prediction? Alex gets none of them and Alex gets every one of them. I already predicted that.

And that's why I decided fuck that concept. Instead, because as I was Googling them, I was like, yeah, some of these are odd. Okay. But also a lot of them, I kind of. of like you could kind of deduce. So instead of what's that slang, instead I have, is it Gen Z slang or prison slang? Oh.

Because there's a whole subset of slang in prison that I didn't even know existed. You mean like code words? Yeah. Is it Gen Z slang or prison slang? So for example, here's a warm up question. Okay. So Gen Z slang or prison slang. Crossed out.

Gen Z. Guthrie says Gen Z. No, I think that's prison slang. I have prison slaying is my... Prison? Yeah, Guthrie stands alone. It's prison.

Really? Okay. Is he right? It is prison slang. Yay! For when a person is taken from a good area or job for something they say they didn't do or for something they say they did do.

That's crossed out. Easy, right? This is going to fly by. Perfect. Okay, warm up. I thought you're going to say, oh, it's prison slang for killing someone. And then I was like, everything is going to be prison sling for killing someone.

That's got to be a Gen Z. Every single one was prison slang for killing. It wasn't prison slang for losing your job. This is Gen Z slang for killing someone. Well, that's a whole new subset of slang, Gen Z. Okay. Tush push. Definitely prison.

That's Gen Z slang for sure. Joe says Gen Z. Alex says prison. I'm going to go with prison. I feel Gen Z, I feel like it's a dance move. So we're split 50-50. Go Alex. Alex is against the world.

Yeah. The Gen Zs get it. We're with it. All right. Next up, grapes. Prison or Gen Z? Grapes. Prison.

Oh, prison. Prison? Well, Gen Z, just to be different. All right. The prisons have it. All right. Information or gossip. Like, give me the grapes.

Oh, great. Grapevine? Thank you. Yeah. Would you hear for the grapevine? That's right. I kind of like that one, though. I think it's cute.

Dance on the black top. Gen Z. No, that's prison again. Nersal says Gen Z. Guthrie. Gen Z. I think that's like an exercise yard. Yeah, okay.

I can see that. Oh, I'm changing. Oh, I'll stick it up for Gen Z over here as a Gen Zer. Locked in. A chick. All right. I'm in on prison. Okay.

The two Alexes say Gen Z. prisons have it. Hey. I'm 100% right now. Dance on the blacktop is getting stabbed by another inmate. Well, yes. Not at all. All right. Question five.

Facts, no printer. Facts. Facts. With an X. Facts no printer. If this is Gen Z, I will be like, whoever told you this is lying. Gen Z do not know how to use printers. And I know this from work.

Gen Z. Joe says Gen Z. I'm going to go with Gen Z, but I don't believe it. I'm going to say it's prison. I'm thinking it's some sort of slang for like, tell me some way, but not in an obvious way. That's good. Facts no printer sounds like, tell me something, but don't leave a paper trail, right? Like I could be in on prison for this.

It's going to be bullshit, but I'm here for this. So Rob and Guthrie are going prison. Prison. The gals are going, Gen Z? Correct. It is Gen Z. Fax No printer is a playful expression used on social media. to emphasize the undeniable truth is something it's comparable to saying just the facts

nothing with the truth oh it is spelled with an x but that's how jens you do it they're like swap the letters you know uh question six dapp dapp dapp with a p yeah that's uh that's uh that's gen z i think oh i thought that's that thing no that's dabbing that dab that's dab that Alex guthrie just dabbed viciously did it again I'm going gen z in this Gen Z. I'm saying Gen Z. So Joe's the only prison.

I'm standing alone. Yeah? It is prison. A prison reading performed by pounding the bottom of one person's fist to the top of another person's fist. This is like even more vicious dabbing. Yeah. B.B. Filler.

Bibi filler. Gen Z. Yeah, it's got to be. Sure, yeah. Robbo? I'm a follower. I'm just these two seem to have it. So we're all, all Gen Z?

You're all wrong. BB filler is body bag filler. You described someone who's very sick in prison. I was thinking about BBLs. I also was thinking about some kind of plastic surgery. I picked the ones that sounded like Gen Z. You're trying to be jerksy. Ninja Turtles.

What? Ninja Turtles. That's 90 slang. How dare you? Cowabonger. I don't think that's slang at all. I'm going with prison. I'm going to go with Gen Z.

I really hope it's Gen Z because somebody's saying like, that's ninja turtle as if to say that's a teenage mutant. really tickles me. I think it's prison. Joe says prison. Nersal says Gen Z. It's a little mean, but I'm sticking with Gen Z.

I just, it would delight me too much. I'm going to go prison with Joe. It is prison. Prison guards dressed in riot gear called Ninja Turtles. Oh, I like it. All right.

I see. H.T. H.T. H.T. Times. Let's go with Genzy. Yeah. I feel like it's like.

Like, it's going to be like high times or something. I'm feeling prison in this one. Prison. So we're split again, 50-50. Yeah. H-T. Hey, I'm sorry for hat tip or tip of the hat. Those youths.

Oh, hat-tip. Those youths. L-M-R. Probably not. L-M-R. L-M-R. L-M-R. Prison.

Gen Z. Gen Z. Let me roast. L-M-R. It feels, I could, if H-T is hat-tip, L-R could be something that is a. Yeah. G-Z. Elmar's like, let me rot, in prison.

So Rob and Nersal say Gen Z, Joe, and Alex. I'm standing by myself in prison. And the Joe stands alone. It is Gen Z. It stands for like my recent, like Instagram, TikTok, like my recent. Oh, right. I'm like, I know I've seen this somewhere. Like my recent.

But I do like let me rot in prison. In parentheses. How about this one then? CDQ. C. C. CTQ. Okay, that's got to be prison.

I'm also going prison again. Feels like a prison. Gen Z doesn't use Q's. Fuck it. I'm going to go Gen Z just to be different. Yeah, that could mean something else. It is? Prison.

Confined to quarters. Disciplinary sanction. CDQ. Getting buzzed. Gen Z. Yeah, Gen Z, right? No, I'm thinking prison. I mean, I feel like this can go either way because using the term

buzzed is like pretty common yeah yeah but is it gen z common no it's not it is gen z they're they they get lifted they they get lifted so you do speak to the use that's what they do now i'm saying prison i'm saying prison guthrie is the only prison yes he's the only one going to prison yes uh Alex has it it's getting a prison tattoo tattoos i and it's funny because i i wrote this one down being like this could go either way but I don't think that's a Gen Z slang. I think that's definitely our generation. Like, I'm going to get buzzed tonight.

You know what I mean? Let's get a little buzz on. Um, Luke's. Luke's. Jensi. And herself says prison. I'm saying prison. Alex says Gen Z.

I'm going to say Gen Z. Joe says Gen Z. I'm going to go prison. Rob says prison. 50-50 split. Luke's is Genzy. Oh. What is it?

It's like look, but like spelt. Oh, okay. I was, I was, I was. Like L like the name. Some of these I wonder are how much of Gen Z slang is meant to be read and not said. Yeah. Yeah. Because I think if I'd seen how looks was spelled, I might have said, oh, that's looks, but it's spelt funny because we're trying to emphasize its looks, right?

Well, that's why I'm not letting you see them. Right. It would be too easy. Um, wolf tickets. What? That's not real. Wolf tickets? Wolf tickets.

Gen Z. Gen Z. Prison. Prison. Prison. You got a hand it. your wolf tickets before you go BBR before you can become a wolf

in prison. So wait, so Rob and Joe are saying prison? Obviously. Nursal. I'm saying Gen Z. Gen Z, Alex. It's so clearly prison.

It's like the wolf cut. Joe is tuned into wolves. I understand this. If she's feeling prison, this is where we're going. No, Gen Z for sure. Gen Z, it is prison.

Oh, my God. Wolf tickets. false promises like you can sell me wolf tickets like it's like you're lying okay okay okay you know any tickets

that a wolf gives you aren't good for shit the wolf is big and bad after all WAM whams Oh prison Genzy Yeah

Genzy Oh I love that you both went Obviously and then went Off his direction It's too stupid for prisoners to say Wham whams Give me them

Wham whams Yo that guy deserved his Wham whams I'm just saying You're getting buzzed this weekend Or whatever Yo that guy spoke last week He's getting his wham-wams.

He's telling me wolf tickets over here. Joe's saying Gen Z. Guthrie is saying prison. Prison. Yeah. Nersal? Gen Z. Gen Z.

Rob. Gen Z. Okay. It is prison. What's in a wamp-wam-wale? Sweet treats like cookies and candy. And I ain't selling you no wolf tickets on these wams. Oh my God.

Next time we make cookies. I'm calling them wams. All right. Last question. Last question. All right. For all the money. Both of these, both of these,

mean like losing your marbles, like mental breakdown type of stuff. Both of these mean the same thing. You tell me which category they go into, okay? One is chatted out and the other is Menti B. Ah, chatted out is Gen Z. Menti B is, no, Menti B is Gen Z. No, Chatted Out. Guthrie says chatted out is Gen Z and therefore Menti B is prison.

By the way, they both could also be both in one category. Chat it out feels Gen Z. Meanty B feels prison. I'm going to go both. I'm calling them both Gen Z too. Oh, sorry, they're not one or the other. It could be in either category. I'm sticking by it, so I'll be at least one.

Both Gen Z. No, I could be both wrong. Anyways. Okay, so Nersal is saying both are Gen Z. Yes. Joe is saying both are Gen Z. I agree. Yeah. Rob.

Chat it out is Gen Z. Menti B is prison. Okay, I'll follow Rob on this, actually. Because I do think Menti B is a little bit more prisony. Okay. Menti B is Gen Z. Hey, I just made here.

Oh, shit. Chat it out is prison. I'm going to have to go and teach something to these prisoners about their slang. I mean the Gen Z. So there's your Gen C prison slang. Hopefully you were playing at home. Educate yourself on Gen Z slang if you happen to go out to the... I was going to say mall, but I don't think...

Do malls to exist? I don't think malls exist anymore. more, really. Yeah, post your score in the Discord. At some point, you may have it to be dealing with these people. Wait, prisoners or Gen Z? I'm saying, at some point, you know, you might have to go to the store and deal with some of these Gen Z.

And you can ask if they're having a Menti B. Exactly. Or are they chatted out? Yeah. You know what I often find, too, though, is like, what sort of slang is Elvin, or Elvish, and what sort of slang is Wharvish? They sell wolf tickets every day. No, the druids do that.

The druids coming to town. They sell you some wolf tickets. They take off with all your horses and away you go. Don't trust that genesis. And those tabax you with that slang. Typical, typical. Should we play some D&D? Yeah, let's do it.

Yay! Having destroyed your shadow doppelgangers by extinguishing their corresponding statues lanterns, you are once more left in the darkness of this octagonal room. Closed doors lead in all directions. The shimmering geloid barrier to the north has disintegrated into nothingness.

Well, I guess that's it then. Yeah, that's it. Jack, are you okay? You know, sometimes having your own spells cast on you, real mind trip. Sure. I'm fine. Makes you reconsider those spells that you learn, hey?

Well, you just, you don't want to fight yourself sometimes. I know all my moves. Yeah. And I just wasn't quite good enough for that one. Dorn sort of walks up to you three and dust himself off a bit. Oh, and looking around shiftily. Oh, it's like, you know, I'm about to come out from another corner. Yeah, creepy.

Quite creepy to look yourself in the eye like that, even if it is a shadow. Is there like any light in this space anymore or is it just, are we just in like absolute pitch darkness? There's no light, but you've got your goggles of the night so you can see shades of gray, just like everyone else. Let's, uh, which door? Well, look, let's just try this one. And red heads to the door to the south-east.

Excellent. I read, I just, so we got five doors, but they, three of them line up with statues and one doesn't. I don't know if that's a thing. Maybe it's not a big deal. Yeah. Well, are you worried about traps or where's your head at? Honestly, I don't know.

It's just a thing I noticed. I'm not sure what I was going to do with it, so I thought I'd say it out loud. Well, I appreciate that. I'm going to open this door, and Red opens the door. The door to the southeast? Yeah, I don't know. I totally agree. That's a point, but I don't know what to do with it.

Or Red, maybe you should wait a second. Red, make a dexterity saving throw. Happily. With advantage, right? No. Cute advantage. You always get that. It confers no mechanical benefit.

I'll accept. 22. Red, you hear the snick of the mechanism as it is activated, and you manage to pull your hand from the door as a sharp needle protrudes from the door handle. Wow! There's a little needle there. You okay?

Yeah, yeah, fine, just got scared. I brushed my fur a little bit. Don't grab the knobs, or at least not that knob. That's what I was just about to say. We've got to take a good inspection of this area. This is far too ceremonial space to be just nothing. Yeah. Oh, you just got to be quick.

That's true, too. Red bends down and takes a look at the mechanism. With adequate dexterity, in D&D terms, I'm talking about sleight of hand, you should be able to disable the device without injuring yourself. Let's give it a try. A natural 20. Fuck yeah.

You disable this trap. How do you do it? Dexterously. Very, very well. With a natural 20, that's how. Red reaches into the bag of holding and pulls it like a series of thin little pins. Like you think at first he's lock picking,

but it's just porcupine quills. And Red puts the porcupine quills in his mouth and then starts picking at the lock. And with a click, Red sort of opens the, unlocks the door, I imagine. Yeah, you do. Under your deft hands, using these porcupine quills, you're able to ease the poisoned needle out from its seating within the mechanism of the door handle.

It falls harmlessly into your palm. Ah, well, there's that. Red holds it up, kind of showing the others. Give me that. I will put that away safely. What? And Doran hands out his hand. Sure.

And Red hands it to him. I'm quite... What's the word, dammit? He eats it. Put it in his sandwich. He uses like one of those things to hold like the toothpick. And like looking at it carefully, he says, I'm quite resilient to poisons. And he tucks it away safely in his back.

Smart. The room beyond seems to be a simple storage room. There are barrels and crates lining the walls. Hey. Just looks like a simple storage room, but given that it was trapped, I'm going to have to guess it's not a simple storage room. It's probably keeping booze. And Doreen kind of walks in slowly.

Oh, no. Red pulls out Stevie. Let the rat sniff the thing barrel first. Maybe his dexterity is as good as mine. Stevie's whiskers begin to tremble, and he starts to squeak in the dry. direction of a couple of barrels. Doran!

You see Doran, like, leaning this barrel over. He's, like, shaking it and listening up. He's like, yeah, yeah. Oh, there must be pretty full. I can't hear any. I'm Doran. Just a thought, my friend. Stevie, the bomb sniffing rat,

seems to be going a little haywild. Why don't we put that down? Very carefully. Redd, like, runs over as you're putting it down. Did you say, helps you put it down? Bomb? Gunpowder and things like that. This could be an explosive room of some sort.

Why don't we investigate very, very simply and slowly? Yeah, you make a good point. Jack, Mari, you want to help us in here or check out one of the other rooms? Well, if that one's full of explosives and could explode at any moment, maybe we should... Yeah, let's split things up. Let's improve our odds, maybe, possibly. All right. And I want to take a look at one of the statues.

I just want to see what's going on with those. Yeah, absolutely. Now that they are no longer, I suppose, animated by illusory magic, They appear as humans, three men and a woman, all in armor and bearing the scales of Kellenbore on their breast plates. Each of their faces are carved into a haughty and noble expression, resolute. Interesting. Jack, you got a preference on which door? Oh, sorry, just headache. Well, let's do the next one then. The next small one, sort of just south of us. all right jack walks over and gives it an up and down sort of investigates to try and see if there's

if it matches with the architecture if there's any hidden features of it if there's any you know the thing that makes it feel slightly out of place or trapped or rigged to make the room next door blow roll investigation uh 21 yeah the doorknob is identical to the one that red disarmed this one would also bear a poisoned needle well i'm not Touching the doorknob to get through it. I'll tell you that. It looks, look at this. Yes, I already saw that that would go poorly.

I guess I could try to disarm it. Is that something you've done before? I used to break into my sister's room a lot. And when you were younger, she wasn't thrilled by it. But you get pretty good at it. And you get really good at breaking into diaries as well. Was she a good locksmith? Actually, she works as one now.

Oh, shit. No way. She, yeah, eventually she learned. Well, there you go. But so did I. Ooh, I rolled a 24. Yep. Oh.

You disable the lock. How do you do it? She takes the flower knife out and she starts to jimmy it just underneath like the panel where like the lock is and starts to kind of work underneath it just very, very carefully until she can feel a little piece of the mechanism that, feels familiar and twists ever so sharply. The poison needle pops out of the doorknob along with a spray of these petals

and you have also disarmed the poison needle trap. Save this for Doran. Is it still locked? It was never locked. It was always just draught. It was just dangerous. Yeah. Just dangerously trapped. Cool.

And heads inside. Or just looks in the door. Look, sorry, looks in the door first. I've done this before. No, you stepped inside. Boom. An ooze falls on you. If there's another gelatinous cube in the ceiling, I swear to God.

Look up. That's all we know. Check up before the rest of the room. Yes. Marr, you open the door to reveal a fairly small bedroom. An old bed is on one side, a chest, presumably of belongings. There's a long bench on one wall. back with red doran and stevie

he's sniffing this one doran and he's getting quite wild stevie's losing it i don't know if it's about this maybe it's just something he's got going on you know he hasn't been out no while i haven't fed him in a few days doran sort of backs out of the room taking the same steps that he took walking into the room don't leave me here get back in here Step those steps back in towards me.

Come on. Okay, and Doran cautiously steps forward towards red. Oh, maybe you should leave, actually. Well, I'm just thinking maybe we check the other rooms instead of... No, I love the idea that you step back over those steps again, and then I can bring you back in and you just keep doing this little shuffle. All right, fine, come in and help me. Do the door and shuffle.

Look, we need to disarm some of these at the very least, or find out what they are. They might not be explosive purposefully. They could just be stocks, gun powder, and things like that. Do they look like they're rigged, or do they look like storage for explosives? Um, I mean, these are a bunch of random casks, barrels, crates. They don't look like they're rigged to explode. Huh. All right. Well, maybe, maybe we should open one slowly and carefully. Okay.

Um, pick one. Uh, how about this square one over here? Yeah, that's perfect. Redwalk's overdo it with you. Actually, no, this one over here. Agreed. This one feels less explosy. Yeah, it's smaller. How big of a boom could a smaller one do, you know? That's right. That's exactly what I'm thinking.

We've taken Wes. Redcast's icy mantle on himself. So Stevie is sort of gesturing, dancing. I forget what he does. Does he just squeak and wiggle his whiskers? Yeah, he does all of it. Yeah, he's like pointing his little rat hands at... Cut the green wire!

Is pointing his little rat hands at a crate. It's kind of long. Hmm. All right. And maybe it's an explosive body. Is it like the dimensions of a coffin? No, shorter than that, but like maybe four feet long. All right.

A dwarven coffin. I move over towards the larger box that Stevie's pointing at. Oh, maybe this one, red? Wait. Yeah. Wait. I mean, I'm just looking at it. out your rat, giving you a visual hints here.

No, no, not that one. He's saying not that one. Oh, not. He's saying that's the dangerous one. So do not open that one. But if we disarm it, maybe, you know, we could help. Is that what your rat is telling you? You know, well, we're overthinking it.

Let's just do this. Are we overthinking it, though? You crack it open? Yeah. Yes. Well, but if it was that whole scene, the rats pointing at it saying open this or not? The rats saying there's something potentially explosive about this.

this. Potentially explosive. Potentially. When's Stevie been wrong before? So wait, we're going to do this? You said it. You said you crack it open. No. Okay. Well, but here's the thing. Here's the thing. Stevie seems to think there's something explosive in there.

However, if there's something really valuable, maybe booby-trapping it with explosives could be a way to do it. I could try to disarm it. Red gets down on his tummy and does an investigation check on the long box. Okay. Roll investigation. Now, I have a natural investigation score. Does that apply here or should I just be rolling? So if you have a passive investigation based on a feat, correct. So what's your passive investigation?

My passive investigation is 17. Cool. Do you want to roll? As long as I'm not going to be punished with like, if I roll a two, it goes lower. I'll punish you as I see fit. I rolled a 17. Oh, there you go. Okay, Doren, as you back up, Reds crawling on his little furry tummy on the stone

floor of this room. Red. Red, the results of your investigation come up dry. Hmm. Um, look, Red, your, your bomb sniffing rat is going haywire. I, I really, there's something that's just telling me that

you should probably listen to the bomb sniffing rat in this one and maybe not, maybe not open the, the explosives. Have you ever heard the saying curiosity got the tabaxi? How dare you? I mean, Look, all right, fine.

Just saying. All right, fine. Look, look, look, look. You're right. Let's not push it. We're playing smarter, not less smart. That's right. Perhaps we'll send Mari and Jack in here,

and they can have a look. We've got lots of things to do. Go, go, go. And the minute Doran leaves, Red runs in and throws it open. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Red runs back, throws both hands on it, says, live for today, Red, live for today, and throws it open.

I love it. A trigger goes off and you explode. You were immediately killed. Slow motion. You just lift the lid and just some loose straw kind of flies out. Stevie, you're stiff as all whacked. The box seems to be full to the brim with loose straw. Okay.

Doren, it's safe. And Red starts going to the straw. What do you mean, it's safe? You hear him as he's coming back into the... Well, I was about to leave, but, you know, it fell open, I suppose. Oops. Maybe it's a straw bomb. Red, as you begin to investigate and pulling out these loose handfuls of straw,

you touch something hard and long. Doren, Doren, Doren. Put it away. Oh, no. This is a popcorn bucket. Um, these are these three and a half foot long bolts. And at the end, they are tipped with this explosive powder. It just smells like, I don't know, ozone.

What is it? What do explosive tip, tributche bolts smell like? Oh, the trebusha bolts. Sulfur, so I can't fire them from my bow. No, you would need a much, much larger device. for that. Oh, damn. But these would definitely

explode on impact. I do. I could make a trebushe. You rob or is Jack? No. Jack is creation. If we save them

and there's a moment, I can make a trebushet. Well, look, regardless, we're going to save them because this is awesome. Red's like, darn, help me get these into the bag of home.

Oh, my God. And he, like, holds the bag on the side and, like, takes it down, almost like a sock over the, over the bolts. The whole box or the bolts loose? Probably the box. keep them semi-safe.

Loose explosives. So, I'm bumping around with how much soup is going to... So basically, they're like grenades. Yeah, so there are 18, like... Like missiles. Yeah. Like Ballista, you know, from like Warcraft 2. Exactly.

18 of them? There are 18 of them. How big is this box? It's pretty big. It's like... Big enough for 18. It's like 3 foot by 3 foot by 4 foot. Slide it in the bag.

I guess Doran with his soldier background. kind of picks one up and he says, wow, these are the three and a half inchers. I tell you, these bad boys will put a big hole in a stone wall. Nice. It's true. Yep. And you know, it's not the length. It's the girth that really gets you.

Absolutely. It's what you do with it, though, boys. Of course it is. Do you go through the rest of the shit or not so much? Yeah. You know, Doran and Red will take 20 and go through everything. Yeah, there's like casks of food. Like supplies, figs, dried apple slices. Modern or ancient?

Great question. They appear to be modern apple slices. But we didn't ask it. Who cares if these are old and new, Dorn? Red throws them in the bag. There's like mundane shit, like spades and shears and like some farming equipment that feels a little bit out of place. But then there are like barrels of ale, bottles of oil, that kind of stuff. Let's loot.

Yeah, and Redd and Doren kind of take reasonable amounts of everything. Store room. Cool. So I would say like camp supplies, basically, and then also random siege type stuff. Some seedy stuff. Yeah. We fill our water skins. Sick.

Jack, Mari. I mean, after pointing out the door was poison, Jack started the ritual to be able to detect magic. He's been sort of wandering around muttering that to himself, drawing symbols in the air. Detect magic, detect magic, detect magic. There's a magical aura emanating from the personal items chest in this room. Everything else seems mundane. Do you sense anything? I am getting an aura, not just from the splitting headache.

There is, what school of magic am I detecting? It's an abjuration aura. Not to throw caution to the wind. I'm going to give it a good look. up and down just to make sure this one isn't going to explode in our face or poison us also before we open this chest. Cool. Roll investigation.

15. Doesn't seem to be... We open the chest. Rock and roll. Contained within the chest are several mundane personal effects, some cloaks, some muddy boots and things. But there

is also a potion hidden inside one of these boots. Boot potion Yeah How recent is this? I pick up that boot over there How recent is this mud?

Oh, good question. I love that. I laugh because when you said muddy boots Because I'm like, oh, Jack's going to go for the muddy boots. How old is this mud? This mud looks like. It could be centuries old. But it was Nersaul.

She elbowed in there ahead of wrong. But it was Mari. This mud is much more recent than a thousand years old. In fact, it's... Anyone knows about wet stuff, it's Mari. Yeah. but it's dry mud oh god i've never seen this before

he just chucks it aside that's called dirt and i love dirt definitely this season's mud you can tell without an investigation check combined we can just figure out dirt it's all good then you got dorn with the rock and stone just air benders reds everything above ground well whoever's

stay in here has been stomping around recently someone has been in here and marie carefully takes the potion out and gives it a little look. Is there a little helpful, like a wimus guide on it? The hand? It's unlabeled. It's a clear glass vial whose liquid is very dark, and then when you pick it up, you disturb it. The liquid turns very pale, almost immediately at the agitation. Oh, interesting. You ever seen anything like this before? Um, I mean, potions often have very, do very strange things. Abjuration.

feels very you know I'm I don't know what it is I don't know what it is no I try to suss it out yeah that's sure classic rob 28 arcana

yeah you fucking know what this is not through experience but from a book at one point probably this is a vial of remove fear single use remove fear Remove fear.

No, it's just a story. But this really fits the description of a potion of courage. Like this, very interesting. Yeah, and Mari sort of gives Jack a look because he's obviously been kind of in a panicky moan. She goes, how are you doing right now, Jack? Do you feel like, do you want to hang on to this? No. maybe just for security.

Yeah, she just sort of slips it in his pocket. And is there anything else in the room? Is it just only the chest? Seems to be the most notable piece of furniture. There's nothing embroidered or personal enough to give the name of the person who's studying here. There's no... Nope.

Why would someone stay here? Well, at least recently enough that they've still got boots that they wouldn't clean before they put away. Unconscionable. Clean your stuff beforehand. So we know the kind of individual we're talking at, just as Doran and Red appear at the door, and we look at their boots.

Yeah, Doran and Red come walking up, and they're, like, eating dried apple chips and drinking beer, and they're like, yeah, and I couldn't even imagine. Well, oh, oh, shush, shh, no. Hey, guys. What are you looking at in here? Mud? Did you find a storeroom full of,

of stuff as well. Someone's been here recently and she holds the boots up, but before she puts them back in the chest, she brushes the dirt off of them because it just bothers her and then puts them away. Oh shit. You two love dirt. It's great. Dirt and words. Hey. We did also find this potion and Jack lets it settle out and become dark again before he shakes it and it gets clear. What's it do? I've heard of a similar one that removes fear, but I don't, you know, hopefully. Hopefully that's what this one does. A fear removing potion. Oh.

Like heights and stuff? Well, yeah, I'm not sure how permanent it might be, but... Shall we keep going? Let's do it. Yeah, let's keep moving. And together, you continue your search of the Soul Repository. Thank you. to our wonderful patrons ace abriel adam fry alicia andrus alison wright's alicia daugh amanda nicolina

Yami, Zach House, and Zephyrus. Thank you so much. Good job, Harlemasman. Yeah, a really good one. Just to list off the other prison slings that I had real quick. So all day means common life sentence. Binky, which I really wanted to pull. Chomo, which is child molester.

Oh, God. High class, which means they have a head. Hepatitis C. Oh, shit. Kung Fu Joes, which are like shitty prison sneakers, and porcelain termite. I love Kung Fu Joes. Yeah, but again, they all kind of sound. Porcelain termite.

And the other ones, I cut out a lot because you knew a lot of them. Portsland termite? What was porcelain termite? A prisoner who breaks their toilet when they're getting in. And what's a menschie or something? Bunchy or Benchie? Binky. Binky.

Binky is a homemade syringe that's made out of an eyedrointch that's made out of an eye proper and a pen shaft. That makes sense. A binkie to get high in the jails. To me, the sweet spot that made me laugh so hard is just writing, like, being like, giat, oh, exclamation,

Como, child molester. It was like the similar slangness and the viciously different I love that. Chat it out. It was meant to be. Such a specific humor itch in my head. Anyway.
