Starting point is 00:00:00 Anyone else? We kind of wasted a lot of time. Uh, yes, excellent. Good, good. Stay there, it's quieter this way. Sorry, I guess I jumped the gun. I wouldn't mind running into that corolla. Hell yes, do it. You're pointing right now, aren't you?
Starting point is 00:00:14 You know, stop playing guitar. It's kind of cool. Oh, I can prove to even, but he might wake up. Definitely not something that we need to be concerned about. Spirits don't work for free, I guess. You think their harvest room is open? And all is dark. I mean, I shouldn't say all is dark.
Starting point is 00:00:28 Most is dark. Some is dark. It's very bright. There's dark. It's kind of dark. That's some Terry Pratchett shit right there. I really like in a day. Most is dark.
Starting point is 00:00:56 Welcome back to Dice, Shame. This is season two, episode 162. Red Letter Day. MVP this week is Blorgon. Blorgon joins us from Planet Siko Poyangu and decided that they wanted to check out Dyshame. They're up to date and absolutely in love with the show. Red is their favorite character and Blorgon says, Oh, thank you for a couple of show.
Starting point is 00:01:17 I'm not the thing that you are enjoying up. They don't know how to destroy your plot. Thanks, Blorgon. You're this week's MVP. All right, should we play some D&D? Yeah, let's do it. Woo! Reds Rovers prepares to enter Dead Snows, the town that you have all been barred from,
Starting point is 00:01:49 well, all except for Witted. We've had a lot of opportunities to talk about how we're going to do this thing. This thing being, send a bunch of letters. to people to gather them in defense of Silvery Moon. And now comes the doing. You had mentioned earlier that you potentially wanted to try to
Starting point is 00:02:10 sneak in at nighttime. You're damn right. And I've written all the letters we need. Red taps his, like, coat pocket, and, like, you see a stack of, like, really wrinkled papers sticking out. Mm-hmm. Wrote them all. Would you like...
Starting point is 00:02:24 What? Would you like, I don't know, just a second set of eyes on them? No. No, I, listen, I did it properly. I bought one of Widdard's books, and I borrowed a thesaurus. I don't know what thesaurus is, but I used it pretty extensively. Thesaurus.
Starting point is 00:02:40 And with the help of thesaurus, this has gotten quite eloquent. Doran's like looking at Temeel with the side of his eye and patting his pocket, and he's like, giving a wink. I've got letters written here. He's got backup play. Just nodding it red, then catches Doran's eye. Yes, excellent, good, good. Glad we're all on the same page.
Starting point is 00:03:10 Yes, yes. All right, it's quite dark out. Black, pitch black, inky, unlit, unlighted, dim, dingy, gloomy. Because it's night. What? Sorry, I'll put the soros down. There we go. As you do, Reggie just sort of grabs onto the source and drags it away kind of off the table.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Disappears over the edge. Red fights it a little bit. My eloquence. All right. So we sneak in to the Ravens Den. We send as many as we can. And if the worst comes to worse, we head into the fighting ring
Starting point is 00:03:44 and we fight our way out to the teleportation circle. That's the plan, right? Unless someone has had a better idea since. Nope. Excellent. I mean, we could go in during the daytime, but I don't think it's nearly...
Starting point is 00:03:59 No, we just... waited till night. We kind of waste a lot of time. That would be another waiting of 12 hours. We didn't waste a lot of time. I wrote all these letters and let me tell you, they are quite exuberant. Whim signs, I don't want to watch you guys play another game of dragon chess. Witted notably would just keep playing dragon chest. He's gotten, now, now it's his new thing. He's going to want to play too much of it. You can tell already. Oh no, he keeps that. Does anyone want to play? Do you want to play? Yeah, absolutely. He's just talking Dragon Chess theory again. Amazing.
Starting point is 00:04:31 I don't need to hear more about dragon chest. You're doing great. Okay, you beat me at least seven times. Absolutely. Yeah, but Doran's kind of looking up at the dark gates up ahead. What are we looking at here, Joe? You are looking at dead snows in the background, like far, far in the distance. You can tell just from the way that the starlight is impeded. There's the far off range of the Ravin mountains. And in the foreground, we have the moonlit dappled city walls of dead snows. It is a strange agglomeration of ruined stonework from the abbey that was here centuries ago. And then the spectrum of different kinds of styles of carpentry, masonry, all other different.
Starting point is 00:05:24 kinds of buildings creating like a very strange silhouette in the darkness ahead of you. There are some burning torches or sconces all on the outside of the city walls, but the gates are up. It doesn't seem like it's like locked down or anything. So people would probably be okay to be coming and going potentially. Yeah. People who are not you, of course. That's what you're looking at that sort of i was really curious mostly about the gates and that's gates are up there's lights around you hear like a dim murmur of life coming from within the city you know it's not like it's 233 a.m's twilight yeah 233 so it is it's pretty quiet in town the switching hour the switch all right let us creep into this municipality and send our literatures to our networks
Starting point is 00:06:20 Whim just shakes her head at you. Red gets down and leaves Lehman's tiny hut and starts linking towards the wall. Is anybody coming? Are we sneaking together, group sneak? Yeah. As Red leaves Witted seals himself up in the suit and takes off off the ground,
Starting point is 00:06:37 womom, mum, mum, mum. And as he starts to generate this cloaking feel that goes down his arm, he reaches down with the other arm. Eddie, anyone else. And if he gets any takers, he'll upcast it to get more people with invisibility, but if nobody takes it, he'll just cast it at level two and just get himself.
Starting point is 00:06:56 You know what? Doran's going to, Doran considers it for second, but then... It's kind of funny because, like, Widdid's the only one who doesn't matter if he gets seen, but he's like, yes, I'm in. Oh, that's true. Agreed, agreed. 100%.
Starting point is 00:07:09 He's like, I'm not getting caught with these people. I still don't get, like, how... You keep hearing and muttering, like, how wanted is wanted. Whenever they mention some hash, they're like, well, I mean, we are going to this place or what he's like then we could keep resting out here
Starting point is 00:07:23 for a little while no rush but uh yeah he's completely fair he's gonna cloak himself for sure and as you're like considering this story and being like thoughtful he keeps like like I'm casting the smell
Starting point is 00:07:36 and I really think you should take it like a child asking for your hand like give me what's Nick San Timil's gonna look at red and remembering their previous sneak attempts at Iron Slag, she'll ask, do you intend to do that thing that you did again,
Starting point is 00:07:58 where you kind of affect us all? Yeah, Red comes back. Sorry, I guess I jumped the gun there. Yes, look, I can do pass without trace. I think we're doing invisibility smart, but let's not forget. Ultimately, the goal here is, if we get caught, them's the brakes. We want to get to the fighting ring anyway. So it's kind of half a dozen of the other, or whatever you say.
Starting point is 00:08:19 We want to be stealthy so we can send the Ravens, but if it ends up me having to run in and get all the letters out as soon as possible, then we're fine either way. Let's not worry too much. Right, right. But yes, I'll cast pass without trace and red snaps as fingers
Starting point is 00:08:34 and casts pass without trace. I think the sense that you get almost, and this might be distressing to wit it and maybe you can feel however you want to be, but I think you almost get the sense that, like, Temeel kind of hopes they're going to get caught. Tamil would actually really like
Starting point is 00:08:52 to have another chance at Carilla. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Like she's not going to put the party in danger, but like kind of like, okay. And I think that's fair of you to tell us because in the hours up to this point,
Starting point is 00:09:08 I think we would have gotten that through our chatter. Sharpening her blade. Practicing conversations. You know, I wouldn't mind running into that carilla. I just really, really wouldn't mind. I mean, hey, if we got in there and I... Whatever happens, happens, you know? You can't control everything.
Starting point is 00:09:26 You know, we can hear you when you're in the shower having conversations about like, well, I got caught. Yes, maybe I did just not worry about my party stealthy. What are you going to do about it? So this all goes through Doran's mind as he's glancing around and he takes with his hand and sort of steps up onto your floating foot. 100% I love that
Starting point is 00:09:52 He's surprised And as you're spreading it down his arm He's looking down at you in surprise And the helmet rises And he goes, good, yep And you're getting covered by the cloaking field Oh, thanks I can show you the world
Starting point is 00:10:09 I was going to say this is a Disney moment Yes Technically you don't need to be decks to be But this is safer And you're like disappearing as it happened. Are you taking a ride on Witted? I am, I am.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Stay there, it's quieter this way. Yeah, I think I'm going to. Red just, like, wiggles his eyebrows at Wim. It's kind of, it's kind of cool. This is kind of neat. I can't believe we're floating. All right, let's go. Stay close.
Starting point is 00:10:37 And Red will lead the way. Wim follows close behind you. Oh. It's kind of light up here. As you see Witted, like, has almost completely disappeared and a whim. He just sort of gestures and I feel like this is the kind of like just dumb thing he'd be able to do with high intelligence that isn't practical
Starting point is 00:10:59 but is like impressive while still sort of maintaining the energy of the spell. He twists his hands in such a way to not break the spell but also say the words. You coming to Wim. Oh, nice. She signs back to you. I think I'm good for now. Ooh. Mm-hmm. Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:18 He switches to a thumbs up and then finishes the spell. Cool. Yeah. Cool. Wim gives like a little sly flourish of her cape behind her as she strides forward confidently to join Red at the head of the party. You really like that birthday present I got you, don't you? She seems like really kind of jazzed about this mission. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:42 Yeah. Under the cloak of darkness. Yeah. She looks around into the darkness besides. you read, almost like emulating your, like, expression on your face. The shadow thief of water deep. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:55 She signs, and his masked companion, the rose. Yeah. Enter meals here too. Let's go. As we float along, Doran mentions to Witted. You know, he's, he's in the mindset. He's like getting mission done. he's like all right off to the ravenry we go you know the place where they send all the mail
Starting point is 00:12:22 the crow's nest what do you call it you you just hear widd's voice you know coming from empty space what is a what is a ravenry look like from above let's say isn't it the crost office the croest office thank you finally the crow from above i don't know uh we'll just have to like you know going to town and i think it's i think it's over that way and he's to, like, point in the direction of what we're supposed to go. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah. When it says you're pointing right now, aren't you? Why aren't you going that way?
Starting point is 00:12:56 I am. This has been working very well. And then, I mean, red scales the outside of the wall and we'll lower a rope for Tameel. Oh, we're going up and over. I love that. Are you kidding? Yeah. We're going all stealthy.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Bad ass. Yeah. And I drop a rope for Wim and Tameel. She's just stomping. You find a place between torches, let's say, on the exterior of the wall, someplace where it's like there's a pool of darkness. And yeah, you make your way up the wall. Looking down, you see Tameel and Wim down there, like we're hiding in a bush,
Starting point is 00:13:38 waiting for you to finish, climbing up. Tameel, stop playing guitar. What? What? She's unpacking some symbols. And Red will, yeah, he'll lower a rope, tie it off. Wim tests it unnecessarily, and then hand over hand, she, up the wall.
Starting point is 00:14:05 She doesn't make those sounds, but I'm trying to, it's an audio medium, so. Right. Yes. She makes these sounds. And then to. Tameel does this up the wall. Ooh. Impressive, right?
Starting point is 00:14:18 Wow. Dang. I didn't know you could do that, Temeel. Let's just quickly do an athletics check, Tameel, you and me. I would love to. Not bad. You and me. One's good.
Starting point is 00:14:31 And me and you. Athletics check. And if you do. Dirty 20. Yep. You're good. Wow. Both up the wall.
Starting point is 00:14:37 I mean, Reds picked a good spot. I know how to do it. Yeah. And then I assume. assume Witted and Doran are there with us. Just floating over. Floating. You would have to assume because we're invisible and you won't be.
Starting point is 00:14:51 I like that. We stand on the edge of the wall looking down at the city of dead snows and all is dark. I mean, I shouldn't say all is dark. Most is dark. Some is dark. It's very bright. There's dark. It's kind of dark.
Starting point is 00:15:13 That's some Terry Pratchett shit right there. I really love it. It's a day. Most is dark. The darkness is punctuated by candlelight coming from within the windows of dwellings. There are a couple of lit lanterns and torches on the outside of buildings. And looking through, you're able to sort of pick out, ah, I remember going there. I remember, oh, there's the end.
Starting point is 00:15:43 to Alamoire that we went through and yes there that's where the stew is you don't see the knife's hilt that's sort of tucked away in an alley a couple blocks away in the the dangerous district of town but you do spot the harvest room it's sort of easy to pick out in and amongst the roofs of its neighborhood because it has this second story on top that's thatched and you see like holes all throughout almost hive-like in an area of this second store and you imagine that's probably where the birds roost. Triptophobic. Yep.
Starting point is 00:16:25 That's what you see. There are not a lot of people out on the streets this time of night. Red will flip the rope over the other side and wait until the other two are down and untie it and climb down himself. Cool. Yeah, whimscoots down. as they sort of hover by Doran kind of
Starting point is 00:16:43 whispers in a low, low voice to wit it. Do you think the harvest room is open? Maybe we should go for a quick, quick drink before we go to the Ravenry. How likely are we to be compromised if we stop for drinks? Oh, oh right.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Right, right, right, right. No, absolutely. Good point. Off to the cross office. Sorry, sorry. Agreed, good plan, he says. I'm going to remind. You mind you guys also that not only have you been barred from entering dead snows, you were explicitly thrown out of the harvest room and told to never return from that establishment. So we're double barred from there.
Starting point is 00:17:23 You're twice barred once removed. Good. I think Tamil will kind of, after seeing the holes in the roof, might to whim and red say, should we sort of skip? the first floor altogether and just go straight to the birds. Hey, I like that idea. I can scale the side and hang the rope again. Whim nods. Let's go. And Red stealthily
Starting point is 00:17:50 approaches the crost office. Whim swishes her cape and falls. And wooded hovers afterwards. Dimele is knocking over barrels. So, there's something I didn't really consider up until now, and I think Doren maybe recognizes this as well as they approach.
Starting point is 00:18:09 this where the birds are kept but does anybody actually know how to you know like use a bird to send a message oh my so you know there's like a whole let's find out I'm excited part that red doesn't surely there's a button or some sort of operating mechanism yeah red reaches the side of the crost office and he'll kitty claw up to the second floor and uh an approach to try to find a spot where he can tie off the rope. Yeah, there's like a couple of chimneys that probably lead down into the kitchen of the harvest room below. And after tying off the rope and the rest of the party making their way up, we all are sort of sitting on the rooftop, the first floor rooftop of the harvest room,
Starting point is 00:19:03 looking at this honeycomb wall. There are bits of straw, out of the holes. There are some feathers like on the the roof, some like dropping. As you can tell that this is where the birds enter and exit, there are probably a bunch of nests inside and just like quiet, roughly sounds of birds
Starting point is 00:19:24 like having nice dreams inside. Yeah, and Red grabs a letter from his pocket and he walks up to one of the holes and like looks in and sees a bird and he reaches in and he says, bird, please deliver this letter to Crowen Valharo as soon as you can. And Red drops the letter in front of the bird.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Oh, no. I think maybe this might be... Make an animal handling check, please. Hell yes. Hell yes. Do it. I think the problem, Harlan, might be, is that these might just go berserk. Ten.
Starting point is 00:19:54 The animal inside of the nest moves around and you see from within the hole a jewel, dark eye glitter at you, and you are entirely ignored. I think it needs money. These birds don't work for free, I guess. I handled it the letter. You know, Red, I'm starting to wonder if maybe we've gone about this the wrong way. I don't really know how to do this. How to send a letter.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Whim signs, pay the bird. They don't work for free. I'm trying. I'm trying. Red's like frantically looking for money. There must be some kind of buttoner operating system. Right, right. That's the way to do it. Red reaches it and tries to boot the thing on the nose.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Yeah, you get bitten by a bird. The bird bites you. Ah, the buttons aren't on the noses. Ow. Oh, maybe it needs to be written in crow language. Does anybody speak crow? Can I do like an insight check to kind of try to gauge the, let's say, intelligence of the birds?
Starting point is 00:20:53 Like, do the birds understand that we aren't the people that typically do the letter sending? Or is there just like some sort of missing incantation? Or, you know what I mean? Like, what's the disconnect here? Hmm. Disconnectors it won't stay tied to its leg. Yeah, I'm not sure insight would be applicable necessarily because I feel like that's more for humanoid.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Sure, I could do animal handling. I mean, I could even try like Arcana, though I'm not terribly good at it. I would say either a nature check or an animal handling, whichever your preference is. Let's just see, nature check or animal handling. I'm going to do animal handling. Okay. Can I give aid or something? How would you do that?
Starting point is 00:21:34 Be like, listen, when I bit it, it bit, it bit, Really hot. So avoid that pot when you talk to it. Got it. Sure. Yeah, you can help. I'm like fully leaning on Temeel. You just smelled terrible fish breath.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Oh, that actually did help. Dirty 20. Okay. Welcome. Oh, nice. Yeah. Tamil, as you are like being assisted by Red's ample insight, and you are kind of investigating these birds and trying to sauce out what's going
Starting point is 00:22:07 on you look a little deeper into these nesting cubbies, I suppose, and you see that on the inside of the wall, there's like a little door for each of them, like almost like little mailboxes sort of thing. So you figure that there's like an interior aspect to this operation that might be critical. I think we might be on the wrong side of this wall. What?
Starting point is 00:22:34 Can we check in this other room? Oh, yeah, good call. Something tells me we're not supposed to be directly interacting with these birds. Is there a way inside? Yeah, Red, if you, like, go around the corner, you can see more of the building. Oh, there's a little door right here, guys. There's, like, a slim window. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:22:54 I think Doran takes the moment while they're watching Red and Tamil, and he's like, do you think they're talking to the birds? Oh, we did kind of turns in smiles and says, I think that's definitely not something that we need to be concerned about. And then he looks in the direction of the birds. And there's, I feel like this like, almost like spooky movies zoom in for Wittitton on the birds. And like, he's actually getting a little spooked and scared by them now. You planted an idea in his head and he can't get it out of his head.
Starting point is 00:23:28 And the birds actually seem really smart now. He's starting to think. And Witton goes, just don't worry about it. Yeah, because you know. Those crows are pretty smart. No, no, they're not that smarter than me, I don't think so. And all the birds are just feel like they're looking at Wooden right now, even though he's invisible. He doesn't like it.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Wooden spiraling. I think they can see through this invisibility. It feels like they're looking right on me. I, that's it. You know what they call a group of crows, eh? It's a common superstition. No, yes, everyone knows. Okay, all right.
Starting point is 00:24:05 It's called a murder. All right, Alex, you get inspiration for that deliory. That was phenomenal. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Red and Tamil are on the other side, like, looking in. Yeah, Red and Tamil and Wim. The three of us are, like, peering through this slender window into a small room.
Starting point is 00:24:34 It's dim inside. There's just one candle lit. on a bedside table and curled up on a bed is a teenager sleeping kind of fitfully he's tossing and turning a little bit and then on the wall adjacent to where the bed is there are hundreds of doors tiny doors maybe like eight by eight inches so that's the other side of the like rookery and so it seems like it's either like guarded or tended to buy this caretie person oh joe you know tamil wants to detect thoughts on what that kid is dreaming about explain to me the kind of information that you glean from this spell or ability um so just by casting
Starting point is 00:25:22 it with no save on the part of the target i learn surface thoughts what is most on their mind at the moment so if dreaming maybe just kind of like a like a synopsis of what they're dreaming about And then I can probe deeper, they get a wisdom save, and if they fail, I gain insight into its reasoning, if any, its emotional state, and something that looms large in its mind, such as something that it worries about, loves, or hates. I hate crows. This job. Could you imagine.
Starting point is 00:25:56 This boy is having a dream where he is shrunk down real small. He is making his way through a sunflower field and looking up at the petals of these golden, bright sunflowers being lit from behind by the sun. As beautiful as the dream is, he is terrified and moving bodily through these thick sunflower stems. Seems like he's trying to escape something much bigger than he. Do you probe deeper? Yes, I would like to probe deeper. D.C. is... Oh, no, no.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Will this wake him up? It's a wisdom save 16, but actually I'll... Tamil will let Red in on what's happening. Just shoot a quick message over. What are you doing? I just was curious what this child is dreaming about, seeing if there was something maybe we could use to convince him to help us if he wakes up.
Starting point is 00:26:53 He's dreaming about sunflowers for some reason. I can probe deeper, but he might wake up. Sure, you probe deeper. But in the meantime, I'll get in there and start mailing some of these letters. Best of both worlds. Right. But it's too tight for me, so I'll... Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:27:12 Stephen! And a goat appears in the room. And Reggie's like, shh, Stephen, quietly. And he'll, like, reach a hand through and a hand the handful of crumple letters to Stephen's mouth. Mm-hmm. The goat immediately starts eating the letters. No, stop. No, open the door.
Starting point is 00:27:33 Okay, now take the letter. No, put the letter down. Open the door. So while your spiritual goat is like using his mouth to try to open the latches on the doors like for a minute and then gets one open and then just starts shoving all of the letters into the, like, he's not an idiot. Doren and Witten. He's smarter than me. Dorn and Witten on the other side, see like, a Raven just like bolt out of that mailbox hole. like freak the fuck out and then like letters just start coming out of that hole.
Starting point is 00:28:06 I love the idea that poor Stephen like opens a door finally with his mouth and then turns and his horn accidentally shuts it and he's like, meanwhile, I think I'm going to choose to fail this save probably because I think defenseless teen has no real understanding that you are probing his mind. more does he really have the defenses to, like, um, combat this intrusion. Okay. He's no skilled brainomancer. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Brainomancer, yes. You delve deeper into his mind, accessing a more intimate part of the dream. You hear now what he is also hearing inside of the dream. The voice deep and booming coming from somewhere above the sunflowers. Quincy and you hear the shuddering of the ground as he's being pursued this teenager Quincy looks up over his shoulders as light pours down upon him the sunflowers part and a huge older boy reaches down and grabs him from between the sunflowers and lifts him up by his shirt and as Quincy is pulled up out of the sunflowers he
Starting point is 00:29:30 changes in size he gets bigger and bigger and bigger and now he is of a size with this older boy and the two of them are standing in the sunflower field and Quincy like shudders back from this kid who pulls back a punch and just hits him right in the face and Quincy like is knocked back into the sunflowers and as he falls backward the whole world like upends and he falls into a pool of water you can tell he's obviously like dream world reliving an altercation that he had with a friend at school.
Starting point is 00:30:07 Yeah, yeah. His name is Quincy. No, no, it's Stephen. No, no, no, the boy. Not the, not the goat, the boy. Oh, sorry, yeah? Yeah. He's having a nightmare.
Starting point is 00:30:19 I might be able to... I'm going to try to keep him in this dream. Can you just sort the letters out, please? Yeah, yeah, we're doing it right now. I don't think that Stephen's doing a very good job. Oh, come out. Oh, he's eating half of them. No, he's not.
Starting point is 00:30:30 He's testing. Whim has been like going back around to the other side and picking up all the letters that have dropped through and is like bringing them back around to you. We're just basically like creating a little circuit of letters. Red will squeeze it. Get out of here, Stephen. Red, snap his fingers. Stephen's squeeze. Okay, Red, you are standing in this small room, this I guess mail room.
Starting point is 00:30:54 There's a table off to one side where things get sorted potentially. there are some books there there's like an inbox and an outbox and some other things a chair and and this sleeping teen all right and red opens one of the doors and puts one of little
Starting point is 00:31:12 male pieces in the little mail slot um come on buddy you wake up a bird and the bird looks at you like super mad fine whatever red shuts it can't detect thoughts on these things can you and um red will then look at the boys. The boy, like, have anything, like a, like a lighter for the birds?
Starting point is 00:31:33 A lighter? Just burn them a bit. Oh, my God. Take a letter. I think of that duck dancing joke. Um, what? You know that joke, the duck dancing? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:31:44 No? Oh, man, guy goes to a bar. He puts a pot up, puts a duck on, the duck starts dancing, and the bartender's like, that's amazing. Everyone loves it. They're throwing money at it. He's like, I can sell it to you. He's like, yeah, he's like, a hundred bucks.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Like, sure, gives the guy the pot, gives the guy the duck, walks away, guy puts the pot down, puts the duck on top, duck doesn't dance. Happens again, again, nothing happens. The original guy comes back. And he says, well, did you put the metal pot on? He's like, yeah, did you put the duck on top? He's like, yeah, he's not dancing. He's like, what, did you light the fire underneath?
Starting point is 00:32:10 His duck is just trying to get his feet. Ouch, out, out, out. Red, you do not notice Quincy to have anything special on his person, apart from a really snappy pair of PJs. They're emblazoned on, like, that. the left breast with the harvest room's insignia. It seems like he's got like a little sleepy time uniform. Well, I put the letter in.
Starting point is 00:32:35 I put the, oh, Red opens the door and says, please, and waits. Nothing happens. Fine, he shuts the door again. Can you detect thoughts on these things? I haven't had much luck with regular animals before. If there's some sort of fay or if they're awakened or if there's some other sort of magic at work, then perhaps. but um right let me do a perception i don't think i've done a perception in here that is a 16 so this room is only large enough for really the desk and the bed and like a
Starting point is 00:33:07 sorting area and the one person who occupies it doesn't seem like this is like a big operation necessarily on the table there are a number of books as i mentioned before there's no space really for any like belongings so you wouldn't think that this is necessarily like a long-term post and there's probably about 50 or so cubbies for the birds right oh there's also a door in the wall that you know would lead it to other parts of this place well red sort of shrugs comically and he takes the chair from the desk and he kind of blocks the door like puts it under the handle
Starting point is 00:33:57 and he sort of looks at Tamil and threw one of the cubbies to the other guys and shrugs and then he pulls a dagger from his belt um hang on I might have another idea oh I'm not gonna kill him goodness that wasn't even where my mind was going Ha ha ha ha ha Okay, now I'd just like to thank our dear Patreon supporters
