You searched for your informant, who disappeared without a trace. You knew there were witnesses, but lips were sealed. You swept the city, driving closer to the truth, while curled up on the couch with your cat. There's more to imagine when you listen. Discover heart-pounding thrillers on Audible. Hey, Dragos. It's Alex here. You've heard me before on the podcast you're already listening to. Hey, my voice is really bad, so I'm going to throw you over to Hum, who's going to tell you about our new podcast.

Hey, nerds. Don't call them nerds. Well, it's true. They've gotten me the hottest, most beautiful dragon wag of all doing a podcast with Alex Lee, who you know and love. It is called Baby Shoes and Tom Carty, who you know and love did the song. And it's about all the crazy shit you get advertised

when you become a parent and how me and Alex are both being driven mad by the algorithm So you should listen to that because you know, you already like us and if you don't like us fight me at the next show Baby shoes enjoy I don't know. How's everyone feeling about doing this for 10 years? Happy sad indifferent. Literally. There's nothing else I've done longer than this show. I think about my life 10 years ago and I think about my life now and I think the only people I'm still friends with are people I do podcasts with.

So this has been some paid social interaction that I've appreciated on a number of levels. Yes. You can pray but your gods won't save you The worms' fire will not spare you. Doom and destruction, death and rebirth. The moon can return with their heroes and young. Their jaws are all chiseled, their asses are fat. They're shiny and golden and one wears a hat. That's not a hat, that is a bonus.

You don't fall. Previously on Dragon Prince, we were talking about the That is a bonus You don't fall Previously on Dragon Friends Our heroes are still chasing treasure Violently plundered from the once peaceful town of Green Nest We find them on the bank of a river Their once marvelous river ship now reduced to a boat for one It's Minibar now a toilet

It's captain our fun is now dinner munch about the precocious The precocious red wizard of Faye Arthur Polonius awakens He barely slept through the night kept awake by the terrifying sexual honking coming from Ernie Sweetwater's tent Oh, yeah kept awake by the terrifying sexual honking coming from Ernie Sweetwater's tent. Oh yeah. Anyone who missed last episode, I promise this all makes sense. Shout out to any new fans who've come to the show. I promise it makes sense.

Arthur, awaking in the morning, having not slept, approaches Ernie's tent and takes pity on the sad bard because of his sexual honking It's never gonna be the same again. I Lift the flap of the tent Who's there? Oh, sorry knock knock Is that Giant no, it's Arthur

But... Sharon? No, it's Arthur. Arthur Blonius again. Okay, yeah, what do you want, little boy? This isn't the time. I... Well, I'm not little, for one. I'm 17 and I'm several inches higher than the median for my height.

How tall is Arthur? What? Hang on, you're higher than the median for your height? Yes, the median for my height. The median. I'm several inches taller. So don't you feel a fool for tackling someone with an in-depth knowledge of statistics? Yes, I bet you feel quite the fool indeed.

I'm just talking to Tom now. Did you mean median for your age? What do you care? I'll jack you off, man, if that makes you feel better than revealing that I don't know what a median is I did general maths after what are you doing it's early I I'm not having the best night or day I've just realized something very serious about a very important part of my life I heard you realize it over and over my god your thing it honks now doesn't it? It does. Oh! What? Why are you so close to me? Sweet suffering!

Okay, this is a small tent. No, I'm connecting with you! Don't worry, I'm feeling empathy. I see in you something I can fix. I offer you a trade. Okay. Yeah. I may not say what is in this box.

Whoa! But in exchange for what's in the box, I'll take that healing ring that seems to only be making your life worse. So this is the healing ring, Tom, that you got, Tom Carty, that you got from your dip in the bag from Bibbitts that allowed you to grow back your dick twice and now you may trade it for what's in the box. Can I get what does the box look like? You can do a perception check on the box if you'd like. Excellent perception check the box it is a 14.

It is a okay I'll say it's an ornate box. Oh awesome perception check. Whoa that's an or-name looking box fella. It is it is it is rosewood, it is carved, there are pictures on the side of musical notes uh that wind around the side and if and if you like um and if you like look at the notation it's um Herp Albertus or whatever his name is, Spanish flea. Oh. Ba da ba da ba ba ba ba. Ba da ba da ba ba ba.

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na. It's all running through Ernie's head. What do you want? Oh yeah, you said the ring. No, go ahead, I understand. Will, if I give you the ring, will it change my penis back to a normal not honking penis? No, you're stuck with that.

Fuck, I said that. No, you're stuck with that. Why would giving a ring away change your penis? Well, it takes the ring, it takes the- Do I hear- No, you know what, it's fine, you haven't slept very much. Because it doesn't get used anymore since the wedding day. Oh, fuck you.

Sorry, for anyone new from Critical Role, that's my wife. No, but you guys still fuck, right? You still fuck? Yeah, you still fucking? I use the penis. I'm propping open doors. I got to say, objectively here, you're not giving this man a viable choice. He could cut off his dick every day for the rest of his life, or a box. Can we keep behind the curtain for a second?

I felt like last episode we spent too much time cutting off Ernie Sweetwater's dick and having it regrow. We could do that again. Okay. I think, yeah, what we're looking for here, Eden, if you can just go ahead and acknowledge the new people who we met, that what we're looking for is some long-term growth, brother. And I'm not looking for the short-term growth of five penises in one episode. As you said, you only did general maths, though.

Yeah, you're right. If you aren't new, it's basically this podcast is getting real D&D items and then figuring out how to cut our dicks off with them and how they assist. Uh, yeah, I'm telling a story! Okay. So, um, what's in the box? Don't say that again. An enticing riddle, isn't it? To be sure!

It's not a riddle, it's just a question. No, what is a riddle if not a question asked with verve? Sure. I mean, that's a riddle, it's just a question. No, what is a riddle if not a question asked with verve? Sure. I mean, that's a riddle. What's in my pocket? And he quickly puts the box in his pocket. I don't know, fishes? Oh no, it's the box again and what's in it? I don't know.

Well, trade it for the ring. Honestly, if you don't take the trade, I will never tell you what's in the box. Hey, will you tell the rest of us? I'll tell everyone else. I'll put it on the Patreon wall, which I know you don't know how to get. I try every day. I come up with this, I go, hello Patreon. Yeah, yeah, I take the ring, I slide it off my finger I say Now you two can have a different penis Arthur puts his finger up to tip to tip and then slides it onto his own finger

Okay, so you take the box our fan jumps out. I'm gonna cut your little dick Any sweet water do you open the box? Nah, I put it in my bathroom. I set fire to it. No, yeah, I open the box. I very slowly. As you open the box, it is a, it is, you open it and it is,

what instrument do you have? It's a lute, right? It's a lute. You open it and there is a pick or a plectrum. Oh shit. And as you turn it over in your fingers, it has your exact face engraved on it on one side and on the back side it's a big horn. I look at it and I say, the prophecy will be fulfilled. And this is a magical pick of spellcasting.

Which will give you two, I'll say two. Did you think about this before I opened the box? No I think I'll give you like two like kind of like average spells or you can have like one real fucking crazy one real good one Yeah Man, if this is just I get to do that. This is gonna suck. Oh, I get to choose. Yeah. Oh hell Yeah, I want I want Eldritch blast Warlock style, okay, and I wanted that one that you can also push people with as well like repelling, repelling blast.

He wants a, he wants a, you want an invocation on it. Yeah, why not? Okay. It's a little war. And I'll let you cast those. Like you can have, it has three charges a day. Okay.

Does he get to keep the box? No, the box disintegrates. Oh. I look at Arthur, I'm like, oh, I don't, I wonder what this does and I strum my loot and you Eldritch blast him I guess so and I'll make an attack roll for you you're all in 18 and so yeah you take was it one detail and detail okay well you take 10 damage how 1d12 damage? Oh, d10, d10 I think. D10, okay, wow, you take 10 damage.

How much else does a 17 year old have? Gosh, I'd say pretty healthy, you grow back, but at this point, because of, I've gotta do a bit of hand waving now, Arthur either can either politely excuse himself or he can fight back. I believe I'll fly away. Well, you've sent me sailing off this cliff

and so I must go. For of course I, the person behind the curtain, has to answer emails elsewhere that were not planned for in any way. And so I have to... And then there's a thud of him hitting something very hard out of sight. Yeah, 747 flies over and he conks into that. Oh wow. Real Mary Poppins style. Wait, no, that's-

No, no. That's in The Simpsons. All right, round of applause for Tom Walker everybody! Yay! So you guys are now camped next to the caravaners who you ignored last episode despite them being a clearly signposted plot point. And a fresh pie.

Yes, there was a fresh apple pie that the poor old woman had to eat all herself and now she's got a sickly tummy. And it's the morning. And it's the morning. So the caravaners, I'll do a bit of hand waving here just to get us through some shit, the caravaners have offered to take you to Baldur's Gate, which is where you were headed anyway, because you probably don't fucking remember that either. And unless there are any particular objections, we can kind of skip forward a bit.

Let's go. Unless you want to do it, you are welcome to do anything you want. I'd like to sit next to the sickly old lady and speak with her on the way. She dies. She has 14 heart attacks. I'm gonna do a perception check and see if I notice. I got literally a one. Literally? So you don't notice so so Ernie Ernie you are riding. Yes. So basically I go this pretty sweet pick

Been playing loot for like 10 years now. It's no biggie. It's a long as I've done anything in life It's a week's travel. It's a week's travel to Baldur's Gate and the whole time this woman's this woman's lungs are just death-rattling the whole time Why you got a beautiful voice What was your name again? Strong and silent type, huh? Can I get your Venmo? Does anyone else want to do anything on the trip Every kind of journey is this trip is it it we it's a long main road This is a this is a well-worn trade route to Baldur's Gate, which is a main city.

I'll do a song. I'm singing while we're driving. Oh yeah, we're going to sing along. Let's have a sing-a-long. A sing-a-long. Okay. 99 bottles of beer on the wall. 99 bottles of beer.

99 bottles of beer. You take one down and you put it back up. 99 bottles of beer. You arrive at Baldur's Gate! You arrive at Baldur's Gate! You arrive at Baldur's Gate! You arrive at Baldur's Gate! You arrive at Baldur's Gate!

You arrive at Baldur's Gate! You arrive at Baldur's Gate! You arrive at Baldur's Gate! You arrive at Baldur's Gate! You arrive at Baldur's Gate! You arrive at Baldur's Gate! You arrive at Baldur's Gate! You arrive at Baldur's Gate! You take one down and you pour it back up 99 bottles of beer You arrive at Baldur's Gate! Baldur's Gate is a massive... ...Fall way! It's a sprawling city of 50,000

But its population can more than double It can more than double during the busy trading season of summer. It's sort of like how Edinburgh's population can double during the Fringe Festival. But instead of substance-abusing comedians and sexually provocative jugglers, the people coming to Baldur's Gate actually contribute to society. Now Ribby, you're all still dressed as cultists. Oh. You're in your robes from the Cult of the Dragon.

We wouldn't have changed over the course of the... I feel like we could have changed. You could. Yeah, you could have. But you're trying to... Remember, your... Your stated goal is to try and infiltrate the cult. Oh. So... So I'm trying to help you along here.

Right, right. Well, why are we coming to Baldur's Gate then? Because that is where the treasure stolen from Green Nest has been taken and will now be shipped north today. This is just for our fans who joined us from Critical Role. This isn't for us. We know our own adventure and the goals of our adventure. So we're looking for treasure. That was stolen from, remember Green Nest?

Remember when we were in Green Nest and it was attacked by the Raiders they went to the Raiders camp look I simply don't have time it's a it's a really jam-packed show tonight guys okay yes we're still wearing our robes then oh yeah that yes my backpack on underneath the road I know you can know about a cultist can also have a backpack that's fine okay is it under the road or you can not you can do whatever you want want none of this matters let's just get wait Do you want to look like a cool hunchback or a regular guy or put on the front there pretend to be a pregnant lady? Oh, I'm gonna do that. What are you doing? I'm putting it on the front and walking around You know how pregnant ladies are always making it very clear that they're pregnant

Do you mean by being pregnant? Yeah, basically. I'm putting my hands on the small of my back and going oof. Pick that up for me will you love? Things of that nature. As you arrive at Baldur's Gate, the city guards seeing your robes

they direct you to Coltmart. Ah, Coltmart. your robes they direct you to cult mart a store with all of your adventuring needs both fiendish and otherwise run why didn't you do cult co so we can get more stuff because it's not you know what you're not buying in bulk you're buying singular items we don't have membership you You don't have, no. Okay. It's a store with all your adventuring needs and the quarter master of the outfit is a skeleton called Big Bone.

A skeleton? A skeleton, he's a skeleton and his name's Big Bone. And he's got one big bone. Oh. Wait, what? Where is it? He's all regular size, except on his right arm, the bit that goes like elbow to hand,

it's like four times as big as it should be. Wait, wait, wait. But there's two bones in the forearm. Yeah. So it's one very big and one very short. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he's just horribly. Or it's like a very wide triangle.

Oh. Maybe it bends around. Does it bend around, Michael? Uh, yeah. No, no, no, no, it's real long and it doesn't work. It's on like Ernie's old dick. Now, who said that? I have also given you all homework for this episode. So as you were going to the market, because I was like, we never get to do shopping properly,

She's a tiny little gnome. She kind of is dressed sort of a bit like a tiny little gnome. She's a tiny little gnome. She kind of is dressed Sort of a bit like a Christmas elf, I guess like a but also like a scout like a cub scout Oh, yes myself. I've got a big backpack that if you if she topples either side she spins around and around

But I also think she has an air of quiet cockney Authority the authority and confidence. Oh, Coffney. I just got the Coffney answer. Is she a lady or a little girl? Well, she's a no. She's 460 years old. But she could pass for whatever she wants.

Okay. Do you want to give us a... In that she's a magical no. Not that she's like had, I don't know, extensive regenerative surgeries or something. I was just going to say, I was wearing long sleeves the other day and went to the bottle-o and I got carded and I was like how old do you think I am? And he was like like 15. You have the energy of someone who's not put their life together.

Um 32 beef jerkeys and a Fanta please. 32 beef jerkeys and a Fanta please. Do you want to give us a little taste of Jamnut Gleam Silver? She introduces herself to the crew? Yeah, yeah. I think she's sitting on a, in one of those little train carriages on the table between the chairs when you open up the carriage. And she hops down and she sticks out a hand and she goes, alright then, Jamnut Gleam Silver, my friends call me Jammy. whimsical elven glitter scout.

And then she sort of gives you a salute and tosses you off for some reason. Oh, please don't toss me off. It makes strange sounds. Who's your friend? They smell like a swampy ruin. Oh wow. Nice to meet you as well. Also appear in the side, the corner of the carriage.

A man reading a newspaper but it's upside down. And he's just glimpsing over the top of it. He's wearing a woollen cap and he's smoking, let's say, four cigarettes. How many each hand? Two in each hand. Is he burning a hole in the newspaper with his cigarettes? No with thumb and I guess like pointer finger he's holding the ends of the newspaper and then between each of his

pinky and ring finger and ring finger and middle finger he's holding two cigarettes. And when he smokes them does he smoke them one at a time or all at once? No, two at a time. Hand by hand. And this newspaper. How does that work? Well, it's just sort of printed onto grey paper. It's, I don't know, it's the Herald's son. Look.

You know what's crazy? You give us so much shit for like chopping our friends' dicks off and stuff, and you could have just said, yes, yes Alex four at once. Well I'm trying to build a rich world that everyone can inhabit. It's very nice. I'm trying to chop off some dicks. And you can do that in your own podcast when you're DMing. And to play this suspicious wizard would you please welcome to the stage Ben Jenkins! Please grab a microphone Benjo, grab a microphone and take a seat. Benjamin Jenkins, the man of two voices, how are you? Ben speak quickly if you could because you know we gotta... Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. I kept thinking I need to wee.

And I kept thinking, no but Hing said he'd bring me on so I don't want to be in the bathroom when I'm brought on and I need to wee so bad! You do know how you smoke four cigarettes at once. Yeah you do it two at a time. See? Ben knows, he's been paying attention. A lot of you could learn from Ben about listening to your dungeon master. Now Ben is a wizard by the name of Asbara. Joss listening to your dungeon master. Uh huh. Yep. Now, Ben is a wizard by the name of Asbara Joss.

Tell us a bit about Asbara. Some notes on that. Yes? You don't like the name Asbara? I've got an idea. Okay. Jeff. His name's Jeff?

Jeff Joss? Jeff Jeff. Jeff Jeff. Jeff Jeff. But they're spelled, the first one's spelled with a G, and then the second one's spelled with a J. Ooh. Where are the Gs and Js? Is it just, so his name's Jeff Jeff.

That's how it's pronounced. And it's with a G and a J. So the way you spell his name is G. Yep. J. But you pronounce it Jeff Jeff. Jeff Jeff, right? I think we all understood it.

On his birth certificate is it Jeff, Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Jeffrey. It's G J, it's Jeff Jeff. Do we we all understood what we were saying. On his birth certificate is it Jeff Jeffrey, Jeffrey Jeffrey? It's GJ, it's Jeff Jeff. Do we think this is working? It's killing me. It's killing me. We can only go forward.

So he's there, he's smoking four cigarettes at once, two at a time, as is the custom with a newspaper. And he peers out the newspaper and he, oh, he can say something to these guys if he wants. Hello! and he peers up the newspaper and he um oh he can say something to these guys if he wants HELLO! That voice has been tested and found wanting

uh he says I couldn't help but notice you were uh admiring my um couldn't help but notice that you were admiring my uh Are you doing Rob Carlton? No! It's not Rob Carlton! Australia's sweetheart actor Robert Carlton. It sort of is a little bit. Legally distinct from Rob Carlton, Jeff Jeff.

Jeff Jeff. He says, oh can I go? No he's Rob. He says, Yeah I'm just reading the... I love trains. Do you guys like, when you go on a journey, do you, um, do you think like maybe I could get the bus or I could walk or I could ride a bike, you know?

But I always think I could get the train. That's a little story that I like to tell. It's like somebody's staring directly into my mind The train stops suddenly Jeff Jeff by the way spelt the word sense Everyone make a dexterity roll, please. Oh, no, you've got to be 10. Otherwise you get flung from the immediate stop. Oh I fly across the room. Okay Okay 19 you take oh wow, okay Gemini Gleam Silver does a flip and lands elegantly on her feet. Ta-da. That is a five

You smash into a chair. Did my siggy's go flying? Oh, yeah. Yeah You're gonna want yeah, you. The newspaper is spoiled. You got a one? You fall out the window. My mules! No, the mules are in cattle class. That's what we have it for. They're learning to be... They're blind? No, nothing. And actually, you were going to say they're learning to be cattle?

Yes. That's nice. Chary and Valerian? Yo. As you fall out of the train, and the rest of you may join him on the ground if you'd like, you notice at the front of the train there's about eight train drivers and engineers and there's a union guy there as well, and they're inspecting... Eight train drivers. Thating... Eight train drivers.

That's so many train drivers. Jeff Jeff's like, oh yeah I know what this is. They've got a really good union actually. That's the union guy there. Sorry Dave, I didn't realise you wanted to automate the trains! But I like giving people jobs in my fantasy world. Wait, do you think that each carriage has its own driver? Yeah, they've got to keep up to each each other, otherwise it's not a train anymore.

Have you previously demonstrated a lack of knowledge about how trains work? Obviously, the front train is being driven by Thomas the Tank Engine. And the subsequent trains have their own individual drivers. I think we've established Thomas the Tank Engine is a sort of disembodied gray disc He's a floating orb. Yeah and the train Drivers all eight of them are inspecting each of their carriages each of that No, they're at the front of the train now near where the cowcatcher would be and

They're inspecting a human head on the track Can you do a perception check please? human head on the tracks. Whoa. Oh, can you do a perception check please, Chariot and Valerian? Yes. Wisdom. Is it Chariot's head?

I'd say 17. Oh, dang, okay. Plus four. Will you recognize that it is an unsevered human head? What? Oh. Buried? What a weird way to say it.

You have an unsevered human head. No, this is good. We all do. We all have unsevered human heads. You're a poet. I love it. Thank you so much. It is an unsevered human head. No, this is good. We all do. We all have unsevered human heads. You're a poet. I love it Thank you so much. It is an unsevered human head of a man who is actually buried up to the neck Oh, is this in between the tracks? In between the train tracks. There's a big pile of dirt on the side Presumably they've dug a big hole and then reburied him in the sand. Oh no, he could have done it himself

Could have done it himself, but he's unconscious but still alive And you see the word oath breaker tattooed on his forehead. Ooh. And do we recognise this man? No, he's not a person you can forget. I wanna go and stand next to all the drivers and cross my arms and be like,

eh, there's your problem. What are you, what, what, what, what are you reckon the problem is? Eh, you read in the problem is you can't run over a guy he'll be he'll be dead can I say something that might be a little bit insensitive right can I do that yeah sure can I say that will people get cross if I do that I mean you're my new friend I promise you're really not we're not really gonna give you blanket permission. No.

Just saying. Because based on your- OK, so it's not about any races or anything. Hey, man, get it out. I just think we've all got places to be. This gentleman's clearly broken some sort of oath. Movie, movie, squishy, squishy. Why don't we put a helmet on him and then drive over him?

See that's a good idea, we put a helmet on him to protect him from the train. I'm just wondering what... Because the train's gonna go over him. No, no, no, here. We take him out, we dig a deeper hole so that the train can just... And put him back in the train. Put him back in, because he likes picking the hole. Um, Hing, I'm gonna unstop my perfume and waft it under the Oathbreaker's nose to try and revive him. Uh, great, can you do a medicine check please?

It's an easy medicine check. You've gotta be nice. Oh boy, medicine. Oh yeah, I got 11. Nice. The man awakens. Good job. Thanks.

His name is... You've gotten better at this. His name is Carlon Amoffel. And he introduced me... Hello! Oh my god. I'm starting to get better at this. His name is Carlon Amoffel. Hello! Oh my god. What? I'm doing some other voices I've learned. Not so fucking easy, is it, Hing?

Mmm, je suis Carlon Amoffel. Okay, um, hey, how come you're in the freaking brown, dude? What, me? You want to know which is a book I once was promise to a woman but I left because I didn't love her anyway that's the other broke and that's really other broke. I left I left her at That's really rude but like I mean I understand it sometimes things are rough She did not understand when I am talking She must

respect my Voice let's run this kind of He's still in front of the yeah, you know, he's still buried up. You can do whatever you want to. Oh, he's buried up. Alright, back in the train. Do you have... are you... do you have any plot points? I'm glad you asked me! Why... why... why are you?

I'm a very troubled man, you see. Oh, yes. Sing about it. No, no, no, no. Why are you I'm a very troubled man you see Was taken into the spa service I didn't work for the hopper I was getting up for a second line! What are you doing? Somebody shot the accordion player right through the head. Who was that? Oh no! You work for the Harpers.

Our natural enemy because we are all cultists. Right? Yes. Go cult! So give up... Give up your... Give up your information, uh, Harper Scum.

Wink. Oh, the wink? Wink. Okay. Do you know what we could do? 18. You could tell him to tell us or we'll wee on him. Yeah, what do you think?

Maybe not yet, man. Yeah, I think we could wee on him. Oh no! Please nobody wee on me! Okay, scrap that, he's into it. I would simply hesitate if you would. Nobody piss on this guy! It's just that I really need to go.

No, do it somewhere else! Oh, madam duck! Would you please, I'm so thirsty! Okay, okay. Alright, well then listen, this is what I do. I take off my pants and I pinch the tip of my penis hole. Oh no! Why? If you let me explain!

And then I look at him and I kind of make a no no no. And I'm like, tell me what we want to know. Yeah, I hate this. Or none of this. Everybody plays the game differently. Now, Eden... The most upsetting thing about being an NPC is you don't get to choose whether to hang out with the characters or not. Just met these people.

What does he tell us about being a Harper? Eden, I believe you're winking at him because you're also a Harper. Yes, yes. So what I was doing before we went down that wonderful detour, he rolled an 18 in perception which means he understands your wink. It's a secret Harper wink. And so he motions closer and goes, oh you there in the helmet, come closer. Okay and I go closer and be like, I'm not gonna piss on you. Wink. Wink. And I draw my cloak around him.

What? No, that was a character. I'm playing a character. I'm definitely pissing in here. No, he's not. No, he's not. Give me the secret. Give me the secret. I just squat over this man in the middle of the train track. I noticed that you are also I have yes correct I was tracking a Ship and of stolen loot no yeah

And these smugglers yes, they are members of the cult of the track which I see you are disguised Yeah, I'm pretty much doing the mission dude And we are ever so grateful to you. Tell me something that I don't fucking know, all right? Ooh. Ah. Did you just say, oh, what? Ooh.

The cultists, they discovered me. And they left me buried here in what I thought was a road, but it's perhaps a tran-track And they have said let Providence decide this man's fate Do you want to die? What? No, no what I could just leave you here if that's what you want. No, no I'm a spy. Okay, I'm a very troubled man. I I was captured, I'm a spy, I'm a very troubled man. I am setting myself up for you to have a contact with me in Waterdeep. What kind of moustache does this guy have? Oh, like one of those crazy ones from the moustache competitions, I think in Ankara, in Turkey.

Like 400 loops. Whoa. It's the kind that if you had a tiny motorbike and you Like rode it all through the loops you'd get crazy head spin. He was trying to he was trying to infiltrate How else would you describe loops I don't know but I think Dave's about to make a very good point Yeah, this is the mustache treatment that he decided on when he tried to infiltrate a cult The nature of the spies you're oppressable the nature of the spies you're a person I'm going to pull him out of the ground ok this is straight using my massive

strength 18 you have a date and he's really wedged in there oh that was a five i pull on his neck a bit I think you could dig me out perhaps ok you're really silver comes and stuff fellow cultists This man is a spy and we must take him aboard the train so we can interrogate him and not pee on him Because that's what he wants But interrogate him mainly and I wink at him, but not that wasn't for you guys fellow cultists. That's a

Tick that I have. It's a neurological thing. Don't ask any more questions. So you are able to dig him out? And when we dig him up, I'm gonna put my manacles on him. But I'm- Oh no, please don't chin me up.

I would never be able to get away. But I'm not gonna lock them. I'm not gonna to lock them. I'm not going to lock them. I'll just put them on him. Is there anything surprising about his body compared to his head that we just wouldn't have expected? Yeah, it's crazy. It's dirty for one.

Yeah, and his hands are huge. His hands are as big as tennis rackets. Whoa. That's massive. And also, no, and also they're made of strings like tennis rackets. So he has tennis rackets fans No, he's got fingers He's not just holding two tennis rackets

Yeah, look closer look that's what he's doing He's holding two tennis rackets That's why he couldn't get out of the sand I've been more easily removed from the tracks and I let go of these rackets But you see they've been signed by my favorite players oh wow wow before they lead him into interrogating him

Ken Gleam Silver tap Bortnam on the shoulder yes you talk to Arfan I pull him aside and I go uh friend of yours is he? No. Little wink you shared? No that's, I told you that's a neurological thing. You better be careful my son, you're a long way from home.

You better be careful. What? My daughter. Wait I'm, I walk away swiftly. Dave, it was a valiant effort to try and help, and I appreciate that. And that plot point just walks off into the sun. Wait, wait, wait. Did you have some sort of plot point to deliver? Carlon Amaphel is chained up, I guess, in cattle class with all the little mule-moos and stuff.

What kind of fucking name is that? It is from, I don't know... Is it from the book? It's from the book. Carl Long Amaphel? I think I said it right. I don't know. Yes, his name is Carl Long Amaphel.

Okay. I thought this accent went with Carl Long. Okay, good. Thank you. But I'm a spy so I can do any voice you like. Don't stop telling people you're a spy, they'll know. You fucking idiot. Now, in...

Just escape. My friend, in order to... If you're a spy, they'll know. You fucking idiot. Just escape. My friend, in order to... Ah yes, thank you for not locking me up in these manacles of yours. So you're gonna be my contact in Mordit? Yes. And at that moment, he... His eyes are made of lockpicks.

And he blinks and they all come out and he goes and unlocks and goes... I told you that. I told you that didn't work. I just wanted to show you a cool trick I could do Very cool And as the train begins to roll away he scurries away and says I will meet you in Waterdeep And just so you know I was

I was joking about the pissing thing Wink And he just steps into the toilet cubicle of the train and waits It makes meaningful eye contact that closes the door. Later! Now, could I get, Eden, could you please make a DC 15 wisdom check please?

No, I don't pass I Fail and I get 11 11. Okay, you notice a person and you think they look friendly At a certain point you're just giving the answer to the wisdom check So I assume we were in like a ticket there a a ticket conductor and they're coming by. Oh cool. And they uh... And they don't... You don't notice. No.

No. I'm going to... So because my friend's making his escape. I'm going to just tromp down the hall and accidentally fall into them. Into the ticket inspector. He's going tickets please please which is an attack roll tickets I'm gonna try and grapple him okay yeah be like whoa I've got it here somewhere and then I strike let's do it I did not do well I rolled a 7

what'd you get yeah but plus 4 is is Oh, well, it's my mistake. Sorry about that. Scuffle, scuffle. And there goes another plot point. That's right. That's right. The ticket inspector goes into the train driver's compartment at the front. Which one?

It's just the one for this carriage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If they're all at the front, the six of them are like Maggie Simpson. And at this point you have a moment you can actually hang out with your new friends. And we've barely spoken. That was crazy before guys, the guy buried in the... Remember that? Remember when that happened? Yeah that was like... Remember when you were like, oh let's run him over?

Gosh, some people. I was gonna put a helmet on him, I was thinking when I was... I think that was a nice thing to do off the horrible thing she said. Hey, what's your problem? I don't have a problem lady, why are you a duck? Why am I a duck? You cannot ask that. I'm not any ordinary duck. And then she points to her bonnet and says, look, hands for pointing.

Wow, you know what, I was funny because I thought you were gesturing to your bonnet and I was thinking, why is she pointing? And then I thought, pointing? This duck's got arms! Yep. And I know what to do with them. And then I thought, POINTING? Yeah. This duck's got arms! Yep. And I know what to do with them. And then she gives you the finger. Oh, that's so rude.

Well, that's me told. Yes. So anyway. Point. What's, uh, no, I went to, we're getting to, so what did you say your name was? Jeff? Jeff? So, what's your involvement in this whole bizzo-wizzo? Oh, you know what, why don't you do a perception check?

Yeah, alright. I, I, I, why don't you do a perception check? Yeah, alright. I do ask the question. Yep. And I do a...oh, a 19. Dang! Okay. So you notice that Jeff Jeff is wearing a woolen hat? Well, that's not very perceptive. But, just from as it is slightly pushed back as he's sort of been inside He's just pushed back just because he's been a bit warm inside in the train

You notice there is some markings just below the hat line. Oh, do I recognize these markings? Like do they look I don't know Alex Lee does Alex Lee know anything about head markings? Yes, because that's what Tom Walker's character had. Yes. The Red Wizards of Faye, perhaps. Eh. Ah, and... Oh, Red Wizard stuff, huh? Oh, yeah. Excuse me?

Sorry guys, I don't know what we were getting at. So, what's in your... Do you... Did you ever see a dog? I once saw a dog. Oh yes, yes, Charian. And has he pulled his hat back over? Yeah. You know, I once saw a dog that was... Do you wanna do a dog. I want to do a dog. Oh yes, yes, Charrion. And has he pulled his hat back over?

You know I want to do a dog that was... No, thank you very much. At this point, during all the commotion, a robot comes in... What? A serving robot comes in with a food... There's a union rep, 8 drivers, 2 engineers and a robot on the train.

The union rep hates the robot No the robot is sentient The robot's unionized? Yeah he's a member he's a card carrying member of the union He's got it And he's like would anyone like food? I have many types of porridge What are the types of porridge you got?

Because he's thrilled that the distraction from the tattoo on his head OAT? RICE? OAT? RICE? OAT? RICE? What are the types of porridge you got? Because he's thrilled that the distraction from the tattoo on his head. Oaks. Yep. Rice. And I also have a weak porridge. Uh, one with strawberries. Uh yeah, you may all choose to have porridge if you like,

and this is the time you can have a long rest. What kind of robot does he look like? Um, ooh. You see one of the robots you can put a tray on and it takes it back to its home? From the Resimonde? From when they're from the Resimonde? Yeah, yeah, wheels and tray situation. Wheels and tray? And a face?

Yeah, but the, yeah, too many faces though. Oh. Oh. Why did you, why'd you do that? Why ruin it? You saw how happy I was. The whole body is a screen and anywhere you make eye contact with is a face. If Debbie doesn't fucking love something with a thousand faces. Yeah but I thought I had something in my head and I was trying to... Listen, what is my favourite face on there? Describe it to me.

Um, ooh, it's a kindly old man with a big scar through his eye. Ooh, that's gonna make me sad at some point. What's the cutest one? Um, ooh, a big dog with a nose ring? Ooh! What's the angriest? We simply can't play that. Listen, listen. We're really wrapping up this bit of that.

Listen! Which, alright, which is the most guess who looking face? Great question, Susan. Listen which all right, which is the most guess who looking face great question Oh, yeah, he's got a big mustache and sunglasses and a hat pulled out I guess he looks a little like a pedophile. No, that's what am I doing? What am I doing? Oh, mr. Pedophile robot. I'll have My goodness, that's a pedo bot 5000 My goodness, that's a pedo bot 5000. Um... They shouldn't have made it.

No, that is my brother! They said they shouldn't have made the pedo bot 5000 and they were bloody right. Yeah, just because you can doesn't mean you shouldn't. And I think that has never been a truer statement than when they made the pedo bot. It's just strange they got the pedo bot 5000 to connect to the internet. I'll have some honeyed oats. One. And I'll have some vengeance.

Can I draw my sword? On the robot? Yeah, why not? It's all what you're doing now. Okay, so the robot is filling up one big bowl that you can all share of honey oats. That's the last- Uh, meanwhile, you can kill this pedo bot. I don't give a fuck. Hey, I don't know, but I feel like, uh, we could do it now. Yeah, go on.

Should we- you wanna do it now? Yeah, go on. Alright. He's done- he's done his thing. Well, I kinda wanted to kill Ben, but I feel like we need him for next episode. Yeah, you know, you do need Ben to kill you. Okay, alright. Well, look, I was angry at you, but take this, Peterbot 5000. And I cut him in half.

Ooh, I got a nat 20. Dang. And I do... But you didn't waste it. Oh, 12. And he says, I deserve to die. One less soldier for the Union.

And Jeff is like, as he sees it, he's like, you know the fun fact about the Peterbot 5000? I don't. They were just pediatricians, it's contracted. It was a marketing disaster. But, um, no, you just killed a kid doctor. Sorry, everyone. And you realise he's got like a red nose.

Like a patch out of his nose. Sorry. Sorry. That's on me, Sorry. That's on- That's on me, guys. That's on me. In the hospital in Waterdeep, the lights go off on the fifth floor. Now, Jamna Gleensilver, are you enjoying your bowl of porridge? No, no.

Well, this war crime is happening. You turn around and just as presumably people are about to take bowls of porridge, Jamna hops down again and grabs their knife and stabs it into the side of the pot and you hear like a sort of shriek and then they bring out their knife and on the end of it sort of hissing and screeching is a tiny little razor sharp tined bug made of bone and she looks at it and she points and she looks it up and she says yeah suspected that. Bone shardlings. So I'll tell them they kill you within 24 hours. You laughing at my accent?

You've kind of been giving me side-eye and shit every time I've been talking. Do you have something to say? Well, I thought you were supposed to sort of bitch him this way, but you sound like you're from Red Dog. What's Red Dog? You went out of time. like you're from Red Dog. That's Red Dog. You went out of time. Look, I'm going to just cut to the chase and assume that there's not a single cultist in this carriage, am I right? No, we're all cultists. What are you talking about? None of you are giving extremely cultist vibes. I include you.

Oh, Claudia, you love the cult. Oh my god. Everybody go around the room and say the favourite thing about the cult. Mine is the barbecues. I gotta say camaraderie and friendship. Yeah, that's a good one as well. Duck! Oh, it's gotta be the dragons for me. Cult of the dragon, big dragon fan over there, yeah, absolutely. Well, if you're cultists, they're trying to kill you, they're poisoning your food.

And I don't think anyone here is going to live to water deep if they get what they want. I don't want that at all. I'm just gonna eat it anyway because I have a bunch of charcoal tablets. So it doesn't matter. You eat the bone shardling? So what's your deal? Well you just ate that, did you?

Yes. Oh bloody hell, Dina. You ate the bone sliver? I have charcoal tablets. What does that mean? It means I think from reading young adult fiction I think it means

that I can't be poisoned. Demi you did say before this game I really like my character I really don't want to die. You've just eaten. She's not gonna die. Not for at least 24 hours. Charing on like Heimlich's dinner. Okay, yeah, I spit it out.

They won't come out, they won't come out. Once you bury them, their little fingers and claws get into your... No, no, I can get it. Your trachea. What are you doing? Okay, go on. Okay, no, this is a medicine check. This is a medicine check.

But it's hard because they are rolled in there. See, you gotta beat 16. That's a 15 plus 1. 16. Oh! And a bone sliver flies... Oh, this is great. A bone sliver flies out of the mouth. Everyone else who wasn't involved with that, make a... Yeah, make a dexterity saving throw.

Everyone else? Dodge the bug. Oh, that is a big hot one! I got a hot one hot one I got a hot one too the bone sliver in midair breaks apart into three parts no and flies down the throats of Jimmy as bar sorry Jeff Jeff and our fan boredom 24 24 hours you say? No it's split into three so we've got eight hours each Let's rock and roll As the train hurtles towards Daggarford with at least three members of the party now poisoned by

by silverfish ingested against anyone's possible judgment. Will the Dragon Friends survive this deathly train travel? I don't see any way they can. Um, will the Union be able to break the back of the horrible Robber Baron that runs, I mean what's your love of the Gilded Age? The horrible Robber Baron that runs this railroad? And will they ever remember why they're dressed as cultists?
