Starting point is 00:00:00 Chaos Hammer was in there. Oh my God. In a kind of uncanny valley sort of way. Extra planer in some way. Yeah, this one's water. The old one, too. Is there a body still? These spell slots don't grow on trees, Red.
Starting point is 00:00:14 It's a werewolf. I'd like to feel his insight with him. Really rattling him the wrong way right now. I think we dipped a toe into a large pool of a problem. She's a friend, and she can be trusted. I would let her. And I feel like dwarves are very against therapy. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:00:30 Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if I need this. Rocket Stone. Welcome back to Dice Shame. This is Season 2, Episode 175. Hold that thought. Happy New Year, everyone. That's right.
Starting point is 00:00:55 It's 2026 and wow, the future is wild. flying cars flying airplanes it's a beautiful new world and MVP this week is you all that's right every single one of you is MVP for 2026 hip hip hooray hazza all right should we play some d and d let's do it I don't like the opposite kind of meeting you want to be in Oh, no. Oh, no. I mean, put it this way. HR violation?
Starting point is 00:01:32 No, good guess, though, Nick. No, I don't want to go into too much detail, but I will say in this, in any business, it's very common to deal with legal matters. And so for the first time in my history of working in this business, I was like under the grill. Like someone was asking me questions. Not, I like didn't really do anything wrong. But still, I was the one that had to be asked the questions. It's just that people can't take a joke these days.
Starting point is 00:02:05 You know, like, you can't see it. You see culture. Oh, my God. Like the Todd. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've been re-watching Scrubs because of the reboot. And I love scrubs. And, God, it's so good.
Starting point is 00:02:20 But, yeah, all I can think now is, like, Alex acting like the Todd at work. Yeah. I mean, visually. Banana hammock. I don't. Oh, my God. I could see Alex going sleeveless. Hammock up.
Starting point is 00:02:33 I mean... I'm excited for the reboot, actually. Because when you think about it, like, obviously, the first show was fantastic, but Bill Lawrence, as I know Nick is a huge fan of, because he did Ted Lassow. Oh, yeah. So now his, like, skill set has gotten so much better, you know? New season of Ted Lassow, they are currently filming, I think, or they might be in post now. I don't remember. There's a new season coming out.
Starting point is 00:03:01 Focusing on AFC Richmond women's team. Hell yes. Oh, fun. That's fun. Yeah, yeah. Production began in July 2025. We need to catch up because I think we haven't watched the most recent season. Yeah, we stopped when What's His Name got evil at the end of season.
Starting point is 00:03:23 I remember you saying like, that's a great character development for him. Nathan, yeah. You said that? Nathan, that's it, yeah. Nathan. Nathan. I found, I found, his name is, I believe, Nick Muhammad. I found him hard to watch as of, like, he was, I like what they did with the character.
Starting point is 00:03:41 It's because you're both Nick, right? And you're like, oh. Another evil Nick. That's not how I would do it. But the thing is, but they, but they, the arc that I find, it's the kind of like the comeback to him. self kind of arc and you know like even I don't know you saw the we don't have to talk about Ted Lasso because I would just not shut up ever um but yeah like even what got him to that place of kind of the villainhood that whole scene in the locker room with Ted Lasso I don't know if you
Starting point is 00:04:16 guys remember that but it is like yeah I do it's heartbreaking oh yeah and I find those things especially hard to experience when you don't have the full picture like when you're doing it live upon rewatch those things become palatable because you're like okay i know i know everything is going to work out i mean i don't because i haven't seen the next season but it's part of a trajectory yes and i i often have fallen off shows because they took a character too dark or they did something too heartbreaking that i was like oh no i can't i can't i can't get behind that and then you know because you kind of fall out of love with it a little bit yeah But good writing brings it back
Starting point is 00:04:58 But that is actually Because if you watch the third season You'll see very quickly The like The defense mechanism That reads as villain And then the real person underneath It kind of keeps peeking through
Starting point is 00:05:08 In little ways It's very good I have no doubt Yeah I'm a huge fan of Bill Lawrence And I love that show And it was great It was not for lack of interest
Starting point is 00:05:16 That we fell off Honestly I think There was multiple competing shows For our attention at that time Because I think the bear Was also around that time and there was another show. And we just were jumping between them
Starting point is 00:05:28 and we just got into one a little bit stronger, I think. Also, we stopped eating in front of the TV, which cut up a lot of our eating time, which sucks. I think it's good for us as a family. No. There's a lot of research to support that show. No. No, I know it is.
Starting point is 00:05:44 I agree. No, but that cut our watching time in half, literally. Oh, I just started pluribus because someone had mentioned that, And that's kind of spooky and fun. I'm enjoying that right now. I won't say too much about it. But if you know the premise, it's kind of.
Starting point is 00:06:01 I only know the like trailer premise. Yes. And it looks really intriguing. I know it's by Breaking Bad, Gil, Gil, Gil something. I can't remember, whatever. But I know it's by the same guy who did Breaking Bad. Gil Gilgillman. Gilmore girls.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Gilgalgalman. Gil Gilgis. Your parents really didn't like you. Gilgillman. I think you said your parrot really didn't like you. Yeah, don't you get named by your first pet? Gil! Gilgill, Gilberman!
Starting point is 00:06:32 It was named by a parrot. Oh, what are we going to name this boy? Gail! So, pluribus, but that's only a few episodes. Exactly, there's only three out. I had heard it was the Breaking Bad creators, so that's sort of what got me curious about it. And good sci-fi.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Actually, like, more of the sort of zombie movie aspect than I was expecting in terms of, like, really edge of that you're... seat like tension at least in the first two episodes but uh i enjoyed that is this an apple thing it is yeah i'm pretty sure okay yeah my my big thing i got to do this week that was kind of fun was it was a normal day at work for me but i got to run the one ring uh because a group who is a book club that had just read fellowship of the ring was like we it's gotten us hyped up to play d and d and i gave them the bed for the dad i was like uh sure oh this is going to be like um uh uh uh a a a a a a group that is, um, what am I trying to say?
Starting point is 00:07:28 Probably split down the middle, uh, guys and girls. And I, uh, it was a bunch of bros. It was a bunch of bros in a book club. Oh, that's cool. Reading Fellowship of the Ring. And we're just super hyped about it. So I was like, listen, let's do the one ring. If you wanted to do, like you guys just read the book.
Starting point is 00:07:45 The one ring as this, it is all aesthetically as a TTRPG very much rooted not in the movies, but in the books and the art. associated with the books and that's just something that I really like about it but it's also I can't necessarily sell it to everybody who's interested in D&D but this group in particular I'm like you just read Fellowship of the Ring let's talk about a game that has a whole mechanic for journeys like it is very much that kind of wow so so they that's cool they had a fun time with it and I got to have that thrill of a RPG where I'm like huh huh it was like the early days of me running D&D professionally where I'm like I don't know if I really got to
Starting point is 00:08:25 this guy's like I think this is how this rule goes and I'm just trying to be confident about it it was and everyone had a blast they were like oh my god it's just like like they they were pointing out similarities to the movie and book beats that I hadn't noticed about the adventure so like they were on board it was really cool so that was a that was a fun that's so cool wait what's the age range of these bros these Lord of the Rings bros they were probably in their late 20s I would guess, younger than me, but like, yeah, late 20s, maybe 30, like, yeah, they were just guys from listening to the sports podcast, just like, we're in, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're gonna try D&D. You know, bro, you're gonna be Frodo? Yeah, bro. I'm gonna be an El Proto. You have my axe body spray.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Absolutely. Everybody else was flex. My shield, diod. They were all elves and rangers except the one guy who really wanted to do this and brought me. was like, I'll be the hobby. You gotta have a hobbit, man. I'm like, you do. That's awesome. I'll be the main character. I'll be the main character.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Absolutely. Hell yes. I feel like you don't really get a more invested group of people than the book club nerds, right? They're in it. The book club bros, please. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It was, because they were.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Book club bros are very different than bros. are in a book club and they are like growing out about like how sick like these they're asking me like what's your favorite part of the books as opposed to the movies and I had to like they brought me back to my childhood it was like a really good time
Starting point is 00:10:07 yeah Tom Bombadil I was just going to talk about my pro Bombadil yeah if Bombadil had come up I know they would have been split strongly and like Bombadil supporters and like Bombadil haters and like I know that would have been
Starting point is 00:10:23 I'm left in the fellowship. I just don't agree with this politics, man. I just feel like they would have adopted that sort of sports mentality of like strong takes that must oppose each other. Yeah. That's hilarious. How many people were there?
Starting point is 00:10:39 I feel like book clubs are usually like 10 folks. Six bros. Yeah, it's six perfect RPG size, yeah. That's a great table right there. Yeah, man. Six bro a broing. What are the Rangers and one of the elves? kept popping out and they're like, we got to hit that
Starting point is 00:10:55 pipe leaf. I'm like, let's go. Let's get that. And then the others would be like, all right, time to get stuff done. We've got a mission. Like, how are we going to let's plan while they're out? And then they come back like, where's the pony? We left the pony behind. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:11:11 the pony's fine. Don't worry about it. He had a pony. He's sure. He's like, of course. Had a bill. Do you hear, bro? He's sure. He's like, real surefooted. Yo, Bill knows his way back, bro. Bro, get in here. We have to save middle earth. You were the only bro. in Middle Earth because Nick, Joe, and myself have been diving the deeps of Moria.
Starting point is 00:11:28 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. This whole week. Mining as dwarps. There's a video game called Return to Moria. Oh, my God. And we've been, I've heard, fathoms deep, 200 fathoms. I just heard of this today. It's so good.
Starting point is 00:11:44 I didn't know when this game, like, I'm like, wait, what is it? I thought when I just saw it on, like, in social media, I'm like, is this a really old game? It doesn't look like it. But how if I surely I would have heard about a game getting announced, it looks really good. And somehow I miss this game's existence completely until now. We played it a while ago. It's about a year or two old, but it just came out with a DLC yesterday.
Starting point is 00:12:08 And I think that might be why it got re sort of searched. But honestly, Joe and I played it when it came out, loved it, never beat it. And then we were just game and other games with Nick and our friend Erica. And we thought this would be a fun one. And it's a blast. Oh, my God. We were up against this cave troll. for like a solid 20 minutes to half an hour.
Starting point is 00:12:26 The four of us were just running around this cavern, like taking turns getting murdered by the cave troll and then reviving each other and like having to come back into the cavern and retrieve all of our loot, like get him a couple times and then he kills us and we have to try again. This is eight player co-op.
Starting point is 00:12:45 I'm getting it. Yeah. Absolutely. You should play with us, Tim. Just remember you have to delve greedily and deep, okay? Yes. You can't do one. Give me that bow rock.
Starting point is 00:12:56 I want those vow rocks. I think there probably is one. We haven't made it that deal. We haven't been greedy enough. Final boss. We could still get treasure if we want to play Dungeons and Dragons together. I wasn't ready for the segue, but fine. Here we are.
Starting point is 00:13:11 I just wanted to talk about Moria more. The segue happened. Buckle up. It's time. Yeah, let's do it. It's time to play. Yeah. Here we go out of the deep.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Let's do it. Having come to the tower's stronghold in the silver marches, to determine why contact between Captain Chaos Hammer's garrison and Citadel Falbar has halted, and ultimately to lay siege upon the Von and Dodd war machine, you discover the tower to be largely barren, its dwarven occupants lying dead in the yard and elsewhere inside, finding a creature that took the vague appearance of a dwarf, and seemingly intent on consuming you. you engaged in your own defense, and when Doran dealt the killing blow, the monster's body split open to reveal General Chaos Hammer himself. Oh, my God. Chaos Hammer was in there. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Jesus, is he okay? What the hell's going on? Doren, like, drops his axe and goes down to wherever Chaoshammer is. Yeah. He is lying kind of in the fetal position. his skin looks ashy and clammy and is streaked with dark fluids from the inside of this monster.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Is he breathing? That's a great question. Would you like to do a medicine check, Alex? Yes, I'd like to roll a medicine check if you wouldn't mind. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah. No, you do. No, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:14:44 No, but you have a mechanical way, I can't. I was just going to give him, how about this? Why don't, okay, because we can double team this, right? Ooh. Yeah, yeah. yeah i'll whisper in his old one too well because i can give him bardic and you can give him the help action theoretically if you want to yeah i'd love that if i can maybe get down and just offer another set of eyes kind of like when there's a patient bleeding out and someone's like okay how can i help
Starting point is 00:15:08 like can i like can i pressure the wound and that's how red will help well dorin leaps forward and goes to the side of chaos hammer sorry sorry tamil and red he doesn't have time to listen any of your he rolls a natural 17 there's nothing to add to that oh okay okay nice dorin with his 17 you are able to do a fairly
Starting point is 00:15:32 decent assessment of general chaos hammer's situation he does not seem to be breathing but there is a thready pulse so his heart is just weakly beating inside of his chest but he's inches from death door. He's, he's not breathing. Uh, I will cast cure wounds at, let's go with fourth level.
Starting point is 00:15:58 Fuck yeah. Oh, nice. His blood is pumping. Oh, that's 21 HP back. He's breathing. Sick. Nice. He's alive. What does it look like when you administer this assistance, Nick? What does your cure wounds look like? I think in this instance, she's kind of suppressing the visual effects. She kind of goes and stands behind Doren, who's clearly distraught and, you know, maybe even a little bit frantic trying to, like, find the pulse, like, try to determine how to help. And I think that she is basically just standing behind Doren with her hands kind of outstretched towards his back and letting the magic kind of flow through, through her, through him into Chaos Hammer. Nice.
Starting point is 00:16:43 As he begins to revive, he turns his head and begins to wretch. And he, he turns his head and begins to wretch. He coughs out all of this, like, sticky, dark ickr, just emptying his lungs. And then he begins to take some shuddering breaths. And Durence sort of, like, helps him, pats his back a bit. Nurgrel, you're alive. I thought for a minute I had killed you. I killed the monster that, well, I did kill it. Doran turns to his friends in sort of questioning there was a monster, right?
Starting point is 00:17:23 Doran, is that you? Yes, it's me. It's me. You're okay. He blinks up at you and you see his eyes are shot through red through the sclera of his eyes. And he's like weeping this like dark substance. Oh, what? Tell me what happened here? I don't.
Starting point is 00:17:55 It's, it's foggy. It's, it's hard to recall. Where am I? We're at the tower. What's this place called, Red? It's the strong. Hold in the silver marches. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:16 The tower that you spoke of. You and your men were here. Do you have a drink of water? Water. Red pulls out of wine skin, smells it. Yeah, this one's water. I don't have any water on me. Cat blood, beer.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Some of that. Icario already scooped up. He takes your wine skin from you and drinks weekly. He spits out the first mouthful and then takes a deeper, drink. Rude. Oh, thank you.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Tamil is looking around now as the scene is settling down a little bit. She's remembering how uncomfortable and frantic red was, this idea of this other dwarf now being infected with something. I'm going to start ritual casting Tiny Hut, if that's okay, to give us a little bit of attention. 100%. Even if we're not going to camp the night, for a minute it'll give us some protection from any kind of, like, effects or anything that might.
Starting point is 00:19:14 might sneak their way to us. Oh, yeah. Currently, we are in this walled-in yard. So we're going to be doing it like around Chaos Hammer and Doran and Red kind of inside the yard. Yeah. Kind of like maybe up against the building so that if you were looking at it, it almost looked like an extension of the tower itself. Cool.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Yeah, yeah. We can do that. Love it. Jesus. What do you make of this? Red bends down and sort of like. kicks through the muck coming out of Chaos Hammer's mouth while Tamil is casting. We did marches over and definitely he's not necessarily floating right now.
Starting point is 00:19:56 He just sort of marches over and he still got the helmet. Even though his legs and lower body are visible, the helmet has been pulled over because he's using the eyes to sort of see through the helmet's eyes and sort of scan what's going on. Would it be able to make an Arcana check on both the, chaos hammer but also is there a body still of the beast that he came out of like is the carcass still there yeah it's weird like after doren cleft through this monster its skin kind of peeled off like a banana of chaos hammer and like almost kind of writhed like tentacles and like shriveled up
Starting point is 00:20:38 a little bit so there's like there's like innards and stuff but it's not recognizable as the creature that had been attacking you. Okay, so this is really more of a... Yeah, there's a body, but it's not like a carcass. Okay, this makes sense, because I had not pictured this thing being a lot bigger, and so it really just peeled off of him. I'm gonna be taking a look at those husks,
Starting point is 00:21:01 but I guess mainly at Chaos Hammer himself with an Arcana check, if that's okay, I will... Absolutely. Yeah, and Red's just, like, kneeling next to Witted. Like, the science side of Red is non-examination. existent, but the hunter prey side of red is alive and active. And he knows how to kill most things, and this is one that he doesn't recognize. Can I help as a help action?
Starting point is 00:21:24 Yeah, I was going to say, can I use that as a bit of an aid since Dorn never wanted it? I am very curious if Joe would allow that to be aid, because as of right now, I have rolled a natural one on this archanagan. Oh, no. I have a hard time, except in very specific sense. circumstances, understanding how one character will help action another character with like an intelligence-based check? Because Red is a seasoned ranger and hunter.
Starting point is 00:21:57 And I just said he knows how to kill many creatures. I think he also knows what their carcasses would look like. And at the very least, while not having a scientific approach to the like category of remains, Red has dissected, bisected, and devout. literally thousands of creatures from continents that these people have not even been on. But he knows the, you know, at the very least, you know, he has favored enemies. He knows what humanoid creatures can look like, how they can move through the woods. I think using the hunter mindset, the way that you could lean over the carcass of a dead animal in these woods,
Starting point is 00:22:39 would at the very least give you a school of thought to be like, oh, this thing isn't, X, Y, Z. And deductive reasoning is a big part of understanding what's going up. I think based on Widdid's intellect alone, and with the assistance of this, like, interplanar watch that he's recently come into possession of, he's going to be able to ascertain that the remains of this creature are not from this plane. Ah, interesting. Beyond that, any other deductions you choose to make as Witted are entirely your own because of your poor rule. However, I think Red, you make a fair point, not in helping Witted, but in making your own check, if you would like. So you can roll a nature check.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Ooh. Nine. You cannot identify this creature, but you can liken the way. the way that it behaved on its death to a creature who you have also killed and behaved like this on its death. I could liken this to something else. It's a werewolf.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Wait, no. I've killed something like this before, with it, to the east of here, at a house party. They popped up out of nowhere. These things, they're not of this plane of existence. You see Witted has actually shut his full helmet, and he's taking a step back in the armor suit and then taking another step back and putting his arms up a little bit, almost like he was flinching, like he might even arm his guns or something, and then just takes another step back. Like, he seems to be having a reaction to this corpse. Hey, are you okay?
Starting point is 00:24:33 Uh. Witted. Uh, I don't know. I don't like that. I don't like that And he just folds the You've seen a gesture you haven't seen before He folds his metal arms In front of the suit
Starting point is 00:24:48 Very like withdrawn style Can I roll insight? You're more than welcome to roll insight Yeah Dorn like watches this and like looks down at his hands One by one and sort of like Thinks about what he's touching And what's all over Chaos Hammer
Starting point is 00:25:03 And he's like he doesn't leave Imagine you're kind of like cradling and chaos hammer a little bit so that he can be in a seated position. Exactly, exactly. Red C's whitted back away, and I would just love to roll insight. I want to know if that's like fear
Starting point is 00:25:18 or knowledge or what. Can I help? No helping this game. I got it 22. I'd like to feel his insight with him. But don't worry, I'll spill all of his secrets. Witted scared, guys. Joe, if I may, I kind of decided
Starting point is 00:25:33 I felt this way based on the one that I just rolled on that knowledge check. and not knowing what it is really bothers Witted inherently but with that insight check I would say you can tell it is just that he's kind of freaked out by it he is kind of like just reacting in a way like this creeps me out
Starting point is 00:25:52 but I think with the 22 you know something that Witted himself may or may not know which is there's something about a creature inside of another creature that bothers him in a kind of uncanny Valley sort of way because he views his armor as like a protective skin kind of that he acts
Starting point is 00:26:16 in kind of harmony with and it gives him safety I think he's had nightmares about like and he also had that moment where he got trapped in the armor that one time and that really freaked him out and so he has still a little bit of claustrophobia with that I think seeing a creature that had someone imprisoned inside of it like a skin like that's like a just really rattling him the wrong way right now. So Red sees that and tries not to
Starting point is 00:26:45 calm with it just sort of respects the fact that he's backing off and then turns back towards the creature and sort of the icker that it's oozing out of the carapace and sort of just says maybe we should burn this thing. Chaos Hammer sort of
Starting point is 00:27:01 blinks and nods at you red. I I, that's what we did. Yes. You burned them. That's right. It's coming back to me now. Yes.
Starting point is 00:27:16 One night, I don't remember how many days ago. A chill fog rolled in on this clearing, and creatures emerged from the depths. Monsters. Foul claws and hungry. mouths. We, we fought them here from the tower. They laid siege on us.
Starting point is 00:27:46 And we drew them. We fought them back. Yes. And then in the morning we burned their bodies. There. And he gestures weakly to behind where the tower is, like the other side of the wall, brought their corpses. and then burned them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Then he sort of gets a distant look. And he says, The fog came back the next night. But no shapes inside, nothing, no creatures. But it invaded our minds. My fellow dwarves, in the garrison, we turned on each other. The siege was not from outside, but from within. And we fell on each other.
Starting point is 00:28:44 There was. It was horrible. And he closes his eyes and he sort of turns his face in towards your chest, Doran. What a horror! And Doran sort of embraces his upper torso and head. So maybe we shouldn't burn it then. If burning it is what caused this. partially. Whim emerges from the dusk leading the goats and the ponies and she ties them up inside of the yard
Starting point is 00:29:16 just as like the Lehmann's tiny hut walls are coming into like opacity around everyone. Tamil kind of is thinking as as the work finishes and she'll ask General Keosama the creatures Could they have been just creatures of the woods, the surrounding woods, that were corrupted in the same way that you and your fellows were? Or were these somehow otherworldly or extra planer in some way? I'd never seen anything like them. Small, hopping ones with huge mouths and tall, grey ones with scythees for all. Gray ones with scythes for arms and use them like harpoons from their bodies. Terrible creatures with deep strength.
Starting point is 00:30:18 Red is nodding. We fought these as well. These are the shadow felt creatures. These are the ones that invaded the Sindigather household to the east of here, Doran. Yeah, that sounded... The creepy description definitely fit some of my worst nightmares. It's the hunger. It's the presence that's up here. That's what I fear. That's what seems to be surrounding us.
Starting point is 00:30:46 And clearly, I fear it for good reason. Red says as he sort of stands up and brushes his hands. Well, did we do about it last time? Did we just leave? Yeah, well, look, you know, we have a bigger mission to fry. You know, the giants ain't going to stop themselves, but clearly there's more work to be done. I just mean, do we know what we did last time? I think we dipped a toe into a large pool of a problem, Doran. And clearly, that problem is still running rampant.
Starting point is 00:31:14 I guess so. General Chaos, Hammer, when we first saw you coming out of the tower, you did not look like yourself, you did not look like a dwarf. You had been corrupted, perverted in some way, physically. the bodies when you burned them was there anything left that would indicate that there was something terrestrial inside of those creatures
Starting point is 00:31:40 like bones or something similar? I was in a room a cavern huge imposing and within the depths of the cavern the gigantic
Starting point is 00:31:58 face no eyes but with a huge mouth beckoning me inside that that was where I was a red turns it to Meal I wonder if reading him and he sort of points to his head
Starting point is 00:32:20 like kind of can wade through some of what he experienced versus what he thought he experienced General Chaos Emma would you allow me to to feel through your mind a bit. May I mind, fuck you? Yeah, can I?
Starting point is 00:32:37 Would you mind if I intruded on your innermost personal thoughts? He looks at Doran as if to get your assessment of like, because he's never met you before. He's like, is it? And I feel like dwarves are very against therapy. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, I don't know. I don't know if I need this.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Rocket stone. Is there something fun to be done? I spend two spell slots, a one level one spell slot for detect thoughts, and then a second spell slot of level two for lesser restoration. Ooh. That could help kind of clear some of the, like, the fog or the kind of like, you know what I mean, some of the internal muddiness that maybe this, the creature has left behind. Clear his hangover.
Starting point is 00:33:22 Can I clear his hangover? Yeah. Let's play in that space. I love that. I do love the idea of red being like to Tamil being like, I got a massive hang of it, Tamil, can you just, and you're like, yeah, and snap, lesser restoration. Oh, thank God.
Starting point is 00:33:37 These spells slots don't grow on trees, Red, and then she said, yeah, I love my best friend to me old. Just an early morning in Waterdeep. Yeah, Doran sort of looks at Chaos Hammer. He's like, she's a friend and she can be trusted. I would let her. And he nods. He sort of sets a hand behind him to like push himself up away from.
Starting point is 00:33:58 from Doran's embrace and gets on his knees and almost in like supplication looks up at you, Tamil. All right. Yeah. So I think normally when she's casting detect thoughts, it doesn't necessarily look like anything. But this time she'll sit down in front of Chaos Hammer and she'll hold her hands out so that he can kind of place his palms on hers.
Starting point is 00:34:25 And she'll close her eyes. and I think that where their hands are touching, there's probably like a faint glow that starts to emit from the space in between. Nice. And immediately, after having had his consent, I'll just go straight through the surface thoughts into the deeper thoughts.
Starting point is 00:34:44 Yeah, Temeel, you lock eyes with chaos hammer and you are transported into a memory. All right, it's time again to thank our valued Patreon supporters.
