Pickaxe. you can afford to hoard because Ikea is priced for student life. Shop everything you need for back to school at Ikea today. Summer is like a cocktail. It has to be mixed just right. Start with a handful of great friends. Now add your favorite music. And then finally add Bacardi rum. And there you have it. The perfect summer mix.

Bacardi. Do what moves you. Live passionately. Drink responsibly. Copyright 2024. Bacardi, its trade dress and the bat device are trademarks of Bacardi and Company Limited. Rum 40% alcohol by volume. you all currently are stood at the door the gigantic human-sized door that leads out of vala's bedroom and into the rest of this seemingly palace

that you seem to be in. Your miniature toy forms. All of you changed into these toys. Look around and you see a bustling hallway full of servants and guards coming, going, preparing the palace

for some sort of celebration. And yeah, what my question is, my dear friends, what would you like to do? You can see the hallway goes left and right. Down one side of the hallway, it seems to curve and there is a banister that seems to look down

into other rooms below as well. On the other side of this hallway, across the open spaces where you can see down into rooms below there does appear to be a stairway leading down as well as large rooms you get the sense maybe one of the rooms

looks like a large library the other rooms look to be closed off with doors and locked doors and things like that maybe we need somebody to scout ahead. Yes, yes. Good idea. You don't have Echo in this form, do you?

I don't think so. Hang on, let me try. And as I try, I then turn into my elk form instead. So you watch as Sentry kind of concentrates. You watch as pieces of Sentry fold into herself in this kind of weird grinding noise. As yes, she transforms into an elegant elk form, like a larger elk form made of metal.

It's still looking like Sentry, but it looks like Elko as well. It's like a mixture of the two. You just kind of find yourself on four legs, feeling a little bit strange, Sensory. You no longer have hands. This is not what I expected. No, there were many things I expected to happen.

This was not one of them. It's kind of fun, i like it i think i can carry what some one two of you perhaps yeah there's definitely a strength to do it right okay and what about what about tiangong is tiangong motorized at all like can it move on its own um i think that he can move wheels so he can spin wheels to move but it's not particularly fast so he has like small amounts of control over like that's any moving parts which is the wheels basically i have an idea what if we create a cart out of Tiangon and attach it to Elko. And then we can write whoever isn't on the back of Elko can be

in the cart. And we can use your magic hair to attach the cart to Elko. I suppose you can use the detached bit, yes, that I've braided. Don't ruin the braiding. That was fine work.

I'm pretty white, guys. I might take up too much space. If you want to just... I'll hold on to some more Lucia's hair and just trail behind if you want. I'm too long behind you. You can hop on my back, Will. That'll be fine.

I can hold you out to the side. I can hold you out to the side. I can hold you out to the side. You weigh nothing. Aayla, if you pick him up, he weighs nothing. I can't guarantee that I won't occasionally just go, just to, you know, see the bounce. We need to get through

this corridor. Stealthy. Speed and quietness, yes. And aggression. Well, maybe not aggression. Do you really want to get eaten by a giant dog? I could take it. I have another idea.

I have so many ideas coming to me right now. Right, so if we have any spare pieces of Tiangong left, how about we make a long pole, we put your head on the end so that you can look out around the corner and see if anyone's coming and then we can ride forward. I love that idea. I love it. Do you know what? I'm all for

it. I'm all for it. Let's do it. As a point, Nova, things like your head and your body can connect to pieces of Tiangong as well. Like a brick master, you can stick your head onto the little pegs and your body onto the little pegs as well.

But obviously, if it's too much weight, your legs can't move with it. So if you put the whole Tiangong on your legs on the bottom, it doesn't work. You could put your head on the front of the wagon and then keep your body at the back or whatever. That would save a lot of space. Let's do that.

Let's do it. Let's think outside the box. Think outside the box. I think if you're going to build Tiangong into some sort of wagon that you can then tie to Sentinel Sentry, there's not too much left to create like a very long pole but you can definitely create some sort of device to kind of stick nova's head

out a bit further than normal um and definitely kind of get like a bonus to site yeah yeah yeah like a figurehead yeah um you know ayla can ride on elko and then hold your how to hold you out like a lance and then you'll be at the front of everybody and see anything coming for her. Just something to think about. Yes, I want to do that. I love it. Amazing.

Yeah, I'm in. So this doesn't take very long. It takes about a minute for Nova to build Wagon Tiangong with Lucius's hair. You can hitch it all up to transform sentry. And yeah, you have a corridor, which is quite long for your, like this is going to be a little trip.

You know, it's quite long for your little tiny toy bodies, but people are constantly coming and going. That's your biggest risk. You're going to have to avoid them from stepping on you. You're going to have to avoid their notice by like kind of hiding under things and also keeping a lookout for any signs of where valor may be as well um so really this is going to be a bit of a skill challenge where i'm going to kind of leave it over to you guys and you

tell me what like skills or actions you want to take um we'll roll some dice and then we'll see how successful you guys are okay all right so feel free to take it in goes. I'm going to rescue one of my dice that fell on the floor. Sure. I mean, I'll go with the old classic quill lookout. I'll try and perceive as much as I can as we're riding along. Okay. Give me your perception check. Yeah.

So you begin making your way through the corridor, kind of like weaving between these giant legs of these guards, like armored legs and bodies of these servants as they're making their way down the corridors as the cart begins to... Oh god, someone's made it. Oh wow. That's amazing. Wait, where?

I got plus 10 to perception so I've got 12. Wow. Does Nova's disembodied figurehead help? this is quill quill's attempting to make a perception check uh to start with um quill your little kind of stuffed body it's quite hard to turn your neck around you kind of have to turn your whole body because you don't have individual neck muscles um yeah and so it's difficult to kind of get a view on what's going around you and it's all happening so fast and everything's so big.

You don't really get a sense of what's going on and trying to guide the sentry to find the location, you kind of haphazardly have them doubling back on themselves like, oh, I missed something, go back. Was that? No, it wasn't Valor. It seems to be like a bathroom or something and then you have to go back on the trail

and it kind of costs you some time and puts you at risk. So that's a failure, I'm afraid. Nova, if you want to try the same thing, Quill's already used Perception, but if you wanted to try and use a different skill, you could try and use that. But you will get a benefit, potentially. Otherwise, it's just going to be a survival. Because it'll be like a tracking.

You're on a stick, yo. You are. You could use your knowledge of history to be like, oh, is this palace like any of the palaces back in Erois? Could I know the layout of it to help guide us around or something like that if you wanted to? Yeah, let's do that. So history plus seven.

That's tasty. Yummy, yummy. Sure. I roll my dice i rolled a 16 plus 7 uh 17 18 19 20 22 23 okay so thinking about it you're like well okay val has based all the toys off of you guys and the people that she's known even like the dress of some of the people around here does remind you a little bit of a rowis she's clearly or like whatever's happened is clearly using knowledge of actual real the rowis at work here so you think about okay logically where would things be um based on this down the corridor and then if you hang a left uh there should there's

normally like a large library that would probably make sense for like where uh you know valor would be going to study if you wanted to try and find valid directly uh there would also be a downstairs probably accessed via the the stairs which would be lead out to the outside there'll be like a foyer and a lounge and things like that um and then maybe callus's office or study would be near the library, you imagine. But yeah, that's a success that you can use that to guide the team. I relay that to the team. Calus office this way.

Valor potentially this way. Yeah, you kind of hint towards the library and how you're going to be able to reach that. Perfect. Okay. So Sentry, Ayla, or Lucius, what are you guys going to do to help contribute to this challenge perfect okay uh so century ayla or lucius what are you guys gonna do to help contribute to this challenge maybe i don't know if this would be the right thing but um i've got a nature skill can i try and figure out if the dog or the snake has been in the like can i try

and see if i can track where they are rather than, I'd say that'd be survival. Which I think you've got as well. Because that's more tracking. Nature is more like, is this plant going to kill me? What kind of dog is this? Survival is more tracking. 21. I rolled a 15 plus 6. 21.

So, as your little chariot, your little wagon being pulled by sentry elk is kind of weaving in, like in between people's legs. It's nearly kicked over at one point as you kind of duck and weave. Ayla, you get the sense if you pick up very coarse dog, like black and red hairs have left a trail in the direction of the library where you're currently heading towards. You get the sense that the dog has probably gone in that way.

You don't see any scales for the snake here, though. The Max, the dog, has definitely been around these hallways. Looks like on a regular basis. For sure. I will tell the group that.

Okay. Dog may tell the group that. Okay. Before... Doc may be in the library. Century and Lucius, before you guys take your turn, I need somebody... This is probably best being either Nova or Century because you are the ones either controlling Tiangong or pulling the wagon.

This corridor suddenly becomes extremely busy as there is a flurry of activity from one of the far rooms as a gaggle of servants all carrying beautiful new bedsheets and coverings and decorations hastily begin making their way down the corridor.

I'm going to need you to make a dexterity check to try and avoid them. Okay. Unless somebody else has something else, like, unless somebody has, like, I've got an idea, can we do this instead? Then, by all means. My idea for me, Lucius,

is to keep the car on Elko by reinforcing the braid and basically ensuring that no one gets left behind. Okay, sure, sure, sure. Okay, for that, let's probably make that, what kind of check would that be? raid and basically ensuring that no one gets left behind. Like an extra bomb. Okay, for that, let's probably make that... What kind of check would that be? I can just give someone an advantage or an aid, maybe. Yeah, you could just be like a

helping aid, another action. Sure. Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure. Okay, well, we'll do this for Century's role then, so you have advantage on this role, Century, as Lucius is kind of reinforcing the wagon to make sure that it doesn't become separated. I'll keep a lookout as well. 17 on the first one.

Three on the last one. Yeah, so 17. 17. Yeah, you manage to kind of, you see along this corridor, there's like a little unit, like a little display unit. And seeing this group of humans,

these giant towering figures making their way down the corridor, you duck and manage to kind of pull yourself and the wagon underneath the display cabinet just in time for them to pass, not noticing any of you guys. And then you continue going down the hallway on your path. Still a little ways to go

and you're going to need to make a turn coming up soon. You do begin to hear the sounds of kind of like stomping heavy guard footsteps like armoured boots. What do you guys want to do? Any other ideas from anyone else? I think the set for sentries thing, she was going to

look for like shadows like the shadows of people walking and trying to weave and try and anticipate where they're going to be coming from, where the people will be coming from. You know what kind of check that sounds like to me, Rhiannon Gower? Yeah?

Here's a stealth check. The paladin does stealth! Here we go! However, you're going to have disadvantage this time because you're not wearing heavy armour, so maybe it's okay. However, you're going to have disadvantage this time because you're not wearing heavy armor. So maybe it's okay. I got a 17 again.

17. That is enough. So yeah, kind of sticking to the shadows. You managed to kind of anticipate people's movements, looking at their shadows on the ground, like where they're coming from, when they're coming up behind you. And you managed to use that to helpfully try and avoid what's going on.

Going to need one more skill success for you guys to arrive at your chosen destination. How will Quill help? Sure. Let's go with Tom Hazel. I mean, I failed the perception, and I am a plush. The best I can do is squeeze, and I'm light. I don't know what to do.

Just use your brain. You don't have to be against that. Just come up with some cool idea. If I'm holding Quill, can I assist him in his perception by, like, because if he can't turn his head, can I assist him somehow by physically turning him I think that because throw me up and I'll get

a view of the room and catch me again so you have to throw him forwards so that as the wagon goes it kind of catches up you can try that sure so if you make a athletics check Ayla and then yeah Tom you can retry perception.

This might not go very well. I mean, Tom gets to retry the perception at a while. I'm not terrible. I'm on six. Okay, there you go. That's okay. I got 29 on perception this time. Whoa!

I'm coming back, buddy. As the... Basically, you guys have a chariot at this point because you've got like elko pulling it and then like a little chariot wagon behind elko um with a lanced ayla with nova's head on the end of a stick of brick master stick um you kind of turn the corner ayla with a spring-loaded arm launches qu Quill ahead as Sentry tries to catch him. You sail through the air, Quill, and you see ahead of you the kind of wall opens up on the far corridor.

As it turns, it opens up and reveals a beautiful library with kind of tall wooden bookshelves and writing desks, huge large windows that stare out onto beautiful palace gardens. And you can see um a very uh kind of stressed looking young vala um working at like books in homework callous sat opposite her kind of pointing at things in the book is helping her study and things like that um and you can see that like they're studying there and you're like oh there she is you kind

of call out to the others and as you landayla's aim has been a little bit off. And as the Elko wagon kind of careens past, you just thump into the ground and let out a very loud squeak as you hit the ground. You don't take damage because you're light and soft and you're thinking. However, that squeak draws the attention as rounding the corner from the library,

just as the wagon kind of ducks into the shadows as Century was trying to keep it hidden, a very large Doberman-esque black and red dog with a big kind of metal collar with Max written on it kind of comes around the corner looking curiously and drooling. And it hears the squeak and you see its ears kind of pick up and its eyes go wide as it bounds over towards stuffed quill to try and pick you up is that like a cabinet

or something small I can squeeze into sure you can make an attempt to yeah absolutely maybe like a little armoire kind of like a little display cabinet yeah and you can try and squeeze under that you guys carry on and i'll squeak i'll squeak as i squeeze into the underside of this thing you hear just like max begins barking and like pouring at it trying to get it his tail is wagging

vigorously um as he's just like and like try like drooling on the floor um and you hear the sounds of footsteps coming from the library max what is it what are you barking at we need to go yeah because i'm like while callus is distracted can we go yeah absolutely yeah so you guys uh make your way in and manage to hide yourself behind one of the bookshelves um uh you kind of managed to just got off in time and peek around the corner as you see callous kind of emerge from the library uh looking back to to valor once and then he emerges looks at max like what are you doing boy what is that you've got there and he bends down to see what's under the armoire can Can I try and go...

If the back of the armoire is away from the wall, I almost want to try and shimmy up the inside of the wall and the armoire whilst we... Give me an athletics check or a strength check on that. Athletics I don't have,

so strength... I rolled a zero so you're like you're trying to lift yourself up but you just don't have enough strength in your little soft soft plush body to pull yourself up you see this giant um like very soft purple eye and long black hair peer down

and Calus kind of looks he's like I'm sure I put you away in Valor's toy chest and the hand reaches in and grabs hold of you and begins pulling you free yeah i'll go inanimate then so i'm just indistinguishable so yeah you basically as long as you don't move you are indistinguishable from a real toy um he picks you up and looks at you and you see max like wagging his tail looking up expectantly he's just like no max it's not for you it's not your toy uh and he kind of he puts it in like his pocket uh he's just like uh and yeah begin making his way back to valor uh as he puts you in his pocket and you're in this

dark black pocket being jostled around um the rest of you uh and taken taken in uh The rest of you see Quill being picked up and taken in. The rest of you, as you watch Callus, he returns to Valor. I know, I've just seen it as well. I feel like plushy Quill is going to become like a new meme for Hyrule. That's insane. Thank you. And Wolfie, thank you for the

previous one. New merch item for 2021, everyone. Plushie Quill. There we go. Hug me, Quill. Hug me, Quill. Abby's going to kill you for saying that. A couple, Quill.

Abby's going to kill you. She's going to be like, Mike, we can't make that. I bet we can. We missed the most obvious one, though, and that's Build-A-Bird. Build-A-Bird. Build-A-Bird, Quill. That's it. It's probably a bit...

But still. Yeah, the rest of you watch as Calus returns with Quill in his pocket. You kind of hear the muttered conversation. Val is just like, I don't want to do all of this, Father. It's boring. I don't want to do any studying anymore.

Calus is just like, Valar, you know that you have to do this. Your mother will be very disappointed if you've not progressed in your studies. We need to make sure that you're ready to inherit the crown. She's like, I don't want to. I just want to play with my friends and have fun. Now Valar, and he kind of gets a more sterner sort of thing, just like, that is not how we speak to me or to anyone else you are the crown princess and you have responsibilities you need to inherit your mother's legacy none of this no more games and if you're not careful i'll lock up

the toys and you won't be able to play with them until you complete the studies and you get a very loud thump on the desk uh you get like mother would let me play with them why isn't she here why is it always you i hate you and then she storms off out of the library uh aggressively um and you see her kind of making her way to the stairs and heading down uh and you just watch as canis just kind of lets out a long sigh he sits down at the desk and he kind of just like rubs his face with a hand. I am trying so hard to do this. I'm a general. I'm not a...

Why have you left me here to deal with this? You know I'm not good with her. And he just kind of like rubs his hands in his face for a moment and sits quietly for a second. I'm not ready for this. He just gets up and makes his way towards his office with Quill still in his pocket. Quill! How are we going to get him back?

Snake's in there, so go find the snake and, you know, try not to get eaten. You guys can follow behind if you wish. It doesn't seem like his office is very far from the library. You see him pull out a key,

unlock the door, open it, and begin making his way inside. We need to get in there. Come on. I'll assure everyone to try and speak in front of the closest... Close the door. Let's ride, Sentry! Let's ride! Sorry, Sentry, I forgot it's you. I'm so sorry. It's okay, it's okay.

It's okay. sorry it's okay yeah it's it can go like a little chariot um quill from your perspective uh you kind of hear like muffled noises uh and then a hand pulls you out of

the pocket and rests you on a table you can see the table is covered in maps and books with all sorts of annotations and markings. You can read things like another sighting, strange red light, people possessed,

need to figure this out, something's wrong in the country, don't want to worry her, and things like that. All kind of spread around. You can see that there is a beautiful map of a world that you don't quite recognize. you can see that there is a beautiful map of a world that you don't quite recognize um you can see tickets to some sort of play like a theater bill or something that's

been pinned to a board um there's also a little leaflet like an advert for a toy company um of it features a very happy looking dwarf man in a cowboy hat holding up uh what looks to be like um lucius's sister adea and he's painting on her face um and the the title of the toy company is called uh uh dagos toys um uh uh and you see like a little happy happy dwarf is making the toys yeah and there's all sorts of like memorabilia around you can see a suit of armour on a stand like a very dress uniform armour set swords, collectible weapons and things like that and then probably the most horrifying

thing in the entire room one wall is dominated by a very large glass tank there's like a broken tree branch and some foliage inside of it it's enormous and in the tank, you can spot, with your

exceptionally good perception, there are pieces of broken toys scattered amongst the dirt and the leaves and the wood. Hidden. Clearly purposely hidden to avoid being

found, but you can see them and you just see these red eyes in the darkness of like a little brown hut and a little tongue look out so it's looking at me, I'm looking at it yeah, and then Calus just seems

to be shuffling papers you hear him kind of just muttering to himself. He takes like a couple of like another kind of couple of deep sighs and then sort of smooths his face out. I can't move things like this. She'll be home soon. And then he just gets up and goes to leave the office.

Meanwhile, the rest of you, are you going to try and sneak in? Because it's going to be stealth checks from everybody. So dexterity or stealth if you have them. Yeah. Okey dokey. Oh, 16. 16. Hell yeah.

Rhiannon's also rolling. Uh-oh. Four. Four. Excellent. Nine. Nine. I think mine's caught. I think Nine. Nine. I think mine's caught.

Reroll it. Reroll it. It's an eight. It's a good face. This isn't that Calus spots you. It's that you to avoid being spotted, you have to stop and hide. And in

that time, Calus shuts the door and locks it. Oh, damn. Oh, no. So we're locked in the room? Outside of the room. Out of the room. You are in the hallway, you see him, just as you're

about to get the door, he's about to come out and he's about to see you, you will press yourselves up against the wall and pause, which is enough time for him to shut the door and lock it with a key put it back in his pocket and then he begins making his way for the stairs heading down um once he's out of uh and then he gets out of shot and you are left on your own just speak underneath the door Quill! Quill are you in there? you okay? Zocira! Zocira's in here! big snake really big snake he's toys

he's toys! can you squeeze under the door? as you hear Lucius's voice you begin to see this long kind of black purple red scaled snake a python kind of begins making its way uh and you do hear a voice kind of hissing out what's this

master has brought me another little gift to disappear. Slowly begins pulling itself out of the tank. Okay, I'll bounce and just leap off the desk. You kind of float down, land with a soft and yeah, you can see

the door does have a small gap but it's very tight uh even for your soft form oh god what are you guys um can i in fact actually before you do that i think we should roll initiative don't you think okay okay i mean i have stats for a constrictor snake oh nice sure oh my god what is mine so it's just plus x right i just plus dex yeah it will just be plus your dexterity this time no extra bonuses oh Lucius 15 16 17 18 17 for Nova 18 for Lucius flick flick uh I have a plus two so I got three nice Three. Nice. Great work. Six.

Six. Excellent. Century. Thirteen. Thirteen. I still have Johan, so we'll just ignore him for now. Well, Lucius, you hear this kind of faint hissing and Quill thump to the ground. What do you want to do? How do we save him? I don't know

what to do. Maybe we we go get Valor. Or something like that. How far away is she? I'm just going to hold. I have nothing to hold, actually. I'm just going to panic. I will hold Chromatic Orb until... Fuck. I've got nothing. Well,

yeah, you look up the door. There is a tiny gap under the door, but it's not big enough for pretty much anybody except something very flat and thin to go under. Quill won't be able to squish under it either. The door handle, the Sentry Aayla and Lucius could probably reach it. If you kind of get on each other's shoulders,

you could probably reach up to the door handle. But the problem is that there is a very, kind of very classic key lock, like a very basic of very classic key lock like a very basic old medieval style key um yeah and that's got the door locked currently uh i turned to nova i'm like maybe with some of your body bits we could unlock the the key from the inside that's exactly what i was thinking okay so lucius that's your go it's just coming up with a plan. Okay. Yeah, sure. Yeah.

Do you want to get into like position? Do you want to just like kind of get yourself ready to lift somebody up or something? Yeah. Or be lifted up. And I'm also ready to like, if Nova wants to hand me a body part, I can do that. Sure. Okay. Nova.

Nova. I guess, could I instruct Tiangong? Like if Tiangong turned into a ladder, would I reach the lock? The ladder alone, no. You're going to need, like, Sentry and Lucius to lift you up. Because you can only form a ladder the same size he is as a spaceship. So it's not a very big ladder. But yeah, you could definitely have him...

You could try and build him into something like that to help. Or anything else you want to, really. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, so I guess I'll put myself, I'll ask Tiangong to form a velada, and then master brick it up, I don't know, brick master it up, that one, and get ready for someone to lift me or throw me into the lock okay cool all right century um i think century would uh walk up to the door and just get us ready in case he wants to climb

on her back yeah i think you're gonna be the bottom because you're the heaviest so yeah like you kind of get in position ready to go okay stand. Stand on your back. The snake quill, it's still a distance away from you, but it is moving a lot faster than you think you probably could as it begins kind of climbing down out of the tank, curling its way down the desk, looping itself through little handles, just like, yes, I shall enjoy using you as bedding betting i would be good betting but no but that's going to be its full turn it ends its turn within striking distance of you though oh my god just like

slithers its way down ayla um can i pick up lucius and stand on sentry to get so you pick up lucius who's holding nova and then you stand up onto me and lift them all up yeah cool uh yeah with ala's strength no problem you don't have to make a check you are the strongest toy uh and yeah you lift everybody up and lucius and nova you manage to reach up to the, uh, keyhole itself. Excellent. Um, do I have any part of Nova yet or is Nova fully assembled? I think Nova is currently fully assembled.

Um, or I actually know you would still be broken down from like the head on the stick, right? So I guess, yeah, you'd have to feed my body parts through. What I'll do is I'll poke Nova's head on a stick into the key lock so that she can assess how to best unlock it. What do you think?

Just shove her head in. Yeah, that sounds great. And then, Nova, you kind of looking around. Make a... Just roll intelligence for me, Nova. So, d20 plus intelligence. great and then nova you're kind of looking around make a um just roll intelligence for me nova so d20 plus intelligence stick my head in there uh i rolled a uh 16 plus intelligence uh plus 2 16 17 18 so you're looking around um you think that your body parts aren't gonna be enough you're

gonna need some of uh tian gong's parts because you're gonna basically, you think that your body parts aren't going to be enough. You're going to need some of Tiangong's parts, because you're going to basically need to wedge parts of the lock in place so they stay in place. And then once you've got all three of them locked in, that should basically open it, right? That should unlock it. But you're going to need some of Tiangong's parts as well. But you think you could do it.

It's just going to take you a little bit of time. Meanwhile, Kelek, the snake is looming over you i mean if i move it's going to get like an attack of opportunity right or is that a thing it is it is a thing what's my ac oh good um i mean if i was quill i would just try and even though the bottom of the door is not wide enough, I would literally try and compress as much as I can and just scramble through the whole cabinet. Scramble through as best you can.

Even if it's like a wing gets through. Yeah, you've managed to get, like, maybe a leg and a wing, like, through it, but the rest of you, you're like, your button eye is, like, bulging against the gap. You're like, oh, like, trying to pull yourself through. But it's just all stuck in place but it will probably make you harder to hit I will give you a bonus to AC if the snake tries to grab you

or like constrict you or anything because it can't get a good grip on you if it tries to like coil around you because you're like half under the door now or like at least a portion of you is under there Lucius basically yeah so at the moment I'm shoving an over on a stick or like at least a portion of you is under there. Lucius. Basically, yeah.

So at the moment I'm shoving Nova on a stick. Are you finished? Can I pull you out now if you've got a good assessment? No, leave me here. I need bits of Tiangong. Don't pull me out. What I'll do is because I, hearing that,

I know that she's going to have to deconstruct the ladder, which we're all kind of on right now, right? So what I'll do... She was on, but you, yeah, she was the only one who was using it. Oh, we're only stacked. You've got, like, you've got Sentry, Aayla, Lucius, and then Nova's at the top kind of thing, and you're holding Nova up on the stick, so...

Can I, with my other hand, or am I using both hands to hold this pole? No, I think you can just use one hand. Yeah, you've got fingers. I'm going to do the old handle braided hair trick and loop it around ready to pull once the lock has been... Okay, yeah, so you've kind of got that ready to go, and then you've got Nova with the stick as well.

Okay, Nova. Can I summon bits of tiangong your body's next to lucius right and your head's on the stick so your body can kind of climb up the stick and then pull pits off the ladder and start wedging them in place um and as it does so like little nova's body kind of like mission impossible climbs along the stick next to your head drops down start pulling up like pieces of like flat kind of like Mission Impossible climbs along the stick next to your head, drops down, starts pulling up like pieces of like flat pieces of spaceship, wedges them in place, wedges them. And you will do hear like a faint click as the last piece is kind of locked into place. Yeah.

That's going to be your whole action, I think, is doing that. Yeah. Century. Can I, is it a pull or push door? It is a push door, so it pushes inwards. Okay, so can I like put my head up against the door and get ready to help push the door when the

lock... Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like kind of charge it as the elf. It's cool. Sounds good. Like rolled and squished. Yeah, maybe. Right now, Quill going to get rolled and squished? Maybe. Right now, Quill needs to worry because the Zarkira snake, Snakeira, is going to try and grab him from beneath the doorframe

and try and get a grab on him. So you have bonus to cover, so you have plus 2 AC. Let's see if it hits. That is going to be a 16. Oh no. Okay, go. Does it grab you? Yeah. Oh dear.

So you are grappled Quill, a soft builder bird is pulled free from the little nook that you'd wedged yourself in. The snake kind of coils its body around you and pulls you free and then nestles you in the middle of its body and begins to try and squeeze however because you are a soft toy i am going to absolutely give you resistance to this damage because you can only be crushed like crushing you is very ineffective so yeah i didn't like a horror movie

before she grabs me i'm like look i'm kind of flapping a wing out to Sentry underneath the door like, Sentry, pull me through! You're pulled through. So this would normally be three points of damage halved to one point of damage. Oh my God, okay. So are you still conscious? Still not broken i should say so you're being squished and your body becomes like long and thin as like your little eye begins to bulge again

um as you hear the snake like ah why are you not easy to break it's like trying to squish you as best as it can but you're just like ah i think it's like a tube squeak yeah there is a big loud squeak as well uh ayla what'd you do uh can i uh so the the door's unlocked now we heard the click right so it's just can i can i pull down on the braid that luci had wrapped on the handle. Well, you can pull Lucius down. Yeah, I'll do that. I'll just pull it down to open the door and go Sentry! The latch pulls down and then Sentry,

because you'd readied an action, you shove the door and it pushes open and you can now see into the office where you see this large snake has pulled poor stuffed quill into her clutches and is currently constricting and wrapped around her. But yeah, the door is now open and you can see

Quill there. What's this? More presents for me. Yes. Keelik. I mean, I'm just squeaking away. You can try and escape away you can try and escape you can try and escape

I'm wondering if in the process of escaping I also squeak just loud enough to get Maximilian back that'll scare the snake off but it'll also bring a dog so I mean yeah that's like the trade off right you can try and escape and then maybe make

like a I don't know I guess you can try and escape and then maybe make like um i don't know like i guess you wouldn't even need to make a check you just squeak as loud as you can to try and draw max's attention i guess i'll try and escape at the same time as i suppose um sure uh dex or strength you can use either uh dex it will be then uh six you do not manage to get yourself free as you try and wriggle and rise but the grip is too strong but you do are you going to let out like a loud squeak yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

okay the kind of squeak that is like the best for dogs sure boy yeah absolutely I love this loud squeak echo through the chambers Lucius what do you do? The door swings open. You're currently on Aayla's shoulders,

holding Nova's head on a stick. And where is the snake right now? Right in the middle of the room. So like this small, it's like a little office study, and it's just on the floor, curled up around Quill's stuffed form. I think I'll just action and shout Aayla to charge us forward

and I'm going to put the Nova on a stick forward like a lance. Sure, yeah. Go for it. Okay, so when Aayla moves, you're going gonna make an attack like you've got a lance on a horseback you've seen nova's head on a stick to attack but here's the thing here's the thing lucius you wanted to be a sky jouster when you were younger right i did you are actually trained and proficient in jousting yeah consider, if you make that attack,

consider your attack bonus plus two, and you'll deal one D2, no, one D3 of damage if you hit with it. All right. Nova. Plus two, one D3, okay. Your body is still in the lock. The door has swung away from your friends,

and you're just dead. Like, your body is in there and can move, but it's miles away from the friends and you were just dead. Like, your body is in there and can move, but it's miles away from the rest of your body. And I guess Lucius has pulled my head out and is, oh, God. Aiming you. Nova's brother is a sky jaster, so she recognizes the stance.

Nova, do you want to have Nova call out help to Lucius? Like, left, Lucius, left, right, down, down. You could try and do that. That would be the help. So you give Lucius advantage, basically. Yeah. Can I also try and get my body to come out of the lock? Yeah, your body would technically...

Your head is doing one thing, but your body can be doing another thing at the same time I guess yeah so yeah can my body just start climbing out of the lock climbing down yeah yeah make a strength check for me for the body to try and climb down strength oh good I've got lots of strength. I've got minus four strength. Yeah. So let's do a little roll. Roll D20. Roll 19.

Okay. So the little brick master body does manage to start climbing down the wood paneling of the dorm frame to make its way down to the ground level. Amazing. Century. Oh, my God.

When Nova's head reaches the ground, can I, like, scoop Nova's, not head, her body, can I scoop up Nova's body onto my back and then start charging towards the snake? Yeah. I mean, yeah, you can just make a charge. That's part of your movement. Yeah. So you can move straight up to the snake and make an attack?

Yeah. Okay. Go for it. Nice. So you have an attack? Yeah. Okay, go for it. Nice. You have your attacks? Yeah, so you kind of turn around and with your back legs kick at the snake's body. Ooh, that's a five total.

Oh, so you kind of like awkwardly turn your body and try and kick, but the snake's thick hide just kind of rebuffs the attack as your hoofs land and it just lets out this kind of loud stop that as you attack it meanwhile on the snake's turn

it will try and bite sentry for its attack, it's only a 7 though so its fangs like dink against the metal body of your transform-on form. Ding! And these little kind of fangs deflect off. What are you made of?

As the snake desperately tries to attack you. But that's it. Ayla? Can I... So we've all charged forwards. Because we're all one unit of charging. That's true, you're all kind of stacked on top of each other, that's true.

So you and Lucius can make attacks, I guess, because you're next to the snake. Yes, well, I'll make an attack with my little hammer on the snake. Tiny hammer. If I can hit... Oh my god, that's a natural 20. It's the little moon. That's amazing. So it's 23 to hit. I only had a plus 3 to hit.

So that was extremely lucky. It's a natural 20, right? I know! Ayla, how much damage do you normally deal on a slam? Four. So it'd become eight. So Ayla charges forward. With a tiny hammer!

Yeah, with this tiny hammer, but you catch the snake right on its head, like a kind of like and with this kind of flicking spring motion, you catch one of the snake's eyes its head like a kind of like and with this kind of flicking spring motion you catch one of the snake's eyes and it just kind of is like as this tiny hammer like thuds it in the eye and it kind of

rides around in pain and then you ready an action with the lance so as Aayla strikes it in the eye you get to make an attack you have advantage because of Nova's help so that was a plus three right strikes it in the eye, you get to make an attack. You have advantage because of Nova's help. So that was a plus three, right? Plus two.

That's 15. 15 hits, yeah, you hit the snake. And then a d3, so d6. Yeah, so d6 and half it. Or... That's two. So two points of damage. Bludgeoning damage from nova's head so that nova's head sheds into the snake and you just the snake kind of like lurches to the side as this force of this

long stick kind of stabs it in the side as it kind of gets thrown off around. And yeah, it seems to be quite injured, looking very sheepish, like, you're not supposed to fight back! Can I hear the dog running down the hallway or something? So I was going to say, at the end of your turn, you can hear it coming, but Max is going to arrive at the end of your turn, basically. hear it coming but it's max is going to arrive at the end of your turn basically i want to hold an action for if zarkira like starts to squeal and like run away

uh when dog comes in i want to try and launch to land on maximilian okay okay If she flails and arrives, I leap off of her and try and land on his collar or something. Sure. So as you are, the squeaking continues, and you do see this big black and red Doberman kind of pad its way from the library, looking for the commotion, sees the door open, moves up to it, and begins growling in the direction of,

well, as far as you guys are concerned, all of you and the snake, just this low kind of like, and the snake is immediately terrified and it begins writhing and backing away. So yeah, Quill, make a, this would be a dex check, I guess, to try and sort of pop yourself free and land on top of the dog. So I'm leaping away from her writhing.

I've got new dice this time. Oh. Holy crap, it was a natural 20. Hey. So you squeeze. As the snake tries to squeeze you one last time, you wriggle yourself enough that it actually rocket propels you into the air.

You kind of fly around, and with your one soft, plushy wing, you kind of spin around and land on top of Max's, like, back, and grab onto his collar. The dog kind of like, looks around for a second, barks a couple more times at the snake, who is attempting to make a very swift retreat.

But yeah, you land on top of it. Anything else, Quill? Okay. I guess, yeah, that's enough. But once I land, I squeak again. So I'm like behind its head, squeaking. It's like turning around, trying to see what just landed on it. Where this noise is coming from. Lucius.

I don't know at this point. Hmm. I think I want to... So the snake's... The snake is going to look like it's about to try and flee back to its tank Away from the dog And you guys, it doesn't look very happy One of its eyes is closed It's got this big red sore mark

Where it's been stabbed by a stick We're fine with the snake It's more the fact that Quill is on the dog now that is an issue we utilize this we run to save you from a snake we call it dog and you're on the dog it's okay

all part of the plan we need to get back to living get out I'm going to try and jump onto Elko to make an escape essentially get out of there we can just sit down next to basically yeah you don't need to jump your next world case okay cool perfect okay yeah all right

nova vija um where is my body and tiangong in relation to my head so your head is on the end of a stick being carried by lucius Your body, we'll say that your body probably pulled out the pieces of Tiangong. You wouldn't have left them behind. Which has been scooped up onto Elko's onto Sentry in Elko forms back. And you are now basically sat on the back.

Your body is sat holding Tiangong pieces on the back of Sentry whilst your head is on Lucius' lance, basically. I guess can my i don't really know what to do i guess can i just reassemble my uh i'll reassemble the bits of tiangong so tiangong's whole again um but i think i might oh my god um i think i might just leave um sorry your head up on the launch i think i might just leave... Sorry. Your head up on the lines. I think I might just leave my head and just to kind of... I don't know. Why not?

Let's just do it. Why not? Let's live. Leave it up there. So you can just prepare like, okay, you can just be like, okay, we're making an escape. I'm just going to get my body in place

and fix Tiangong up and then we're good to go, basically. Yeah. If there was an action after all that, it would be to help lucius again with his aim okay if he wants to if he attacks the dog or something yeah sure okay uh century uh you can you can see the snake is beating a hasty retreat um or will do um what would you like to do century uh the dog is kind of looking in the snake's direction and your direction and is growling

low but he's also still interested on what's behind his head. Okay. I think Sentry will start getting ready to run out of the room. But maybe taking more of an invasive direction, like trying to stay

out of the dog's line of sight as she tries to run. Yeah, try and keep out of its reach as best you can. Yeah. Okay. Well, Ayla and Century and Lucius, Snake Zarkira attempts to flee, and you all get

an attack of opportunity. Oh, nice! Do I get the same advantage or no? I guess I would. You do, because Nova used help action. Excellent. 18. Okay, 18 to hit, and 4 damage from

Ayla. 14 to hit. 14 still hits, Lucius. D3 damage. Century? 8. 8 is not enough to hit. You kind of kick back, but miss, unfortunately.

3 points of jousted damage. Between Ayla and Lucius, you both kind of time your attacks and clonk the snake on the head and you just watch it go unconscious. Like the whole snake just goes limp on the ground and just kind of flops

to the side, unconscious. Laid out of its tank. The dog kind of cocks its head to the side, unconscious, laid out of its tank. The dog kind of cocks its head to the side, seeing you do this. And if a dog could look impressed, it does. It kind of looks and it's like, it takes a sniff towards the snake, barks at it once,

and then looks at the three of you, kind of quizzically. It doesn't take any aggressive action, so we're going to drop out of combat, because the snake no longer poses a threat. What do you guys do? There's like a knife-edge balance right now. He doesn't seem to be sure what to do with you. I mean, the snake is napping now, so...

Yeah. Oh, for... Ask it to take us down to Valor. Ask the dog to take us down to Valor ask the dog to take us down to Valor let's ride the dog let the dog be our friend can we ride the dog I mean you can try and make friends with the dog

there is a very specific skill for that called animal handling oh I don't have that hat the dog can I come out with... You need to transform. Can I pat the dog? Lucius, Ayla and Nova on your back fall off as you turn back

into a robot. Sorry! And then, yeah, the dog looks down towards you. Good boy, Max. Good boy, Max. Can you take us to Valor? Valor? Waggles. Make an animal handling check for me.

Rihanna? Yes. Yes. 19. 19. So you see the tail starts slowly wagging and then it gets quicker. At the word Valor, he seems to get very happy and you see the eyes start slowly wagging and then it gets quicker. At the word valor, he seems to get very happy and you see the eyes kind of light up.

And he kind of gets down. He lowers his body down so that, yeah, like, you could climb up onto him if you wanted to. Amazing. Yes. Yes. Okay, yeah. With the group of you, you all kind of clamber up next to Quill.

Sentry's probably a little heavy, but he does seem to be able to kind of take it. He's a big dog. Yeah. Once you get up there, the Quill you see, I wasn't paying attention to any of that. I'm like holding on as tight as I can to the collar, just like...

So you get up there and find a very scared-looking stuffed Quill who's shaking. You can see a couple of Quill's stitches have come loose and stuffing is kind of sticking out of them where he took damage from being crushed. So he does look a little bit injured. But yeah, Max kind of lowers his head. You will climb up and he's just like, whoa, with one bark and begins kind of making his way out of the room. Being a good boy, though though he does kind of get up on his hind legs puts his mouth around the door handle and pulls the door shut uh leaving the

snake inside what a good boy down uh and he makes his way down to the long hallway and you see quite a few of the guards uh kind of look at him they're like what have you got there max as they see all the toys on on on his back, is that, those Valor's toys? Are you taking Valor's toys, boy? And you hear like a roh, roh. And they're like, nah, you're a good boy, Max. And they kind of like stroke his head and stuff like, and like, you know, he's just like, and he begins making

his way along. On your back, Max. He's a clever dog. He's a smart dog. Smart dog. Don't question it. He's a smart dog. He's a clever dog. Smart dog. Don't question it. He takes you down the stairs into a very opulent, fine foyer with stone floors and suits of armor kind of set up against the walls.

It's like a regal mansion, like a palace. And you can see that it's all being decorated. And you see one of the doors is open. And as Max makes his way into it, it's all being decorated and uh you see one of the doors is open and as max makes his way into it it's like a lounge big thick leather sofas with fur throws and blankets in front of a kind of fire which hasn't been quite lit yet and a big smoky chimney there are paintings of uh various kind of like scenes but one of them that draws the attention hangs above the fireplace. And it shows Valor as a young girl, stood behind her, Calus, her father,

and dressed in a very rich coat. And the next of them is a dark-skinned woman in a white dress with hair that is so black and painted in a way that it almost looks like the night sky. And to those of you who are familiar with Eros, which is all of you, it is unmistakably Siasca, the goddess of Eros, like the original goddess who created Eros. And they stand together as a family.

They stand like a family portrait. There is a large tree which has been set up on the other side of the room covered in all sorts of baubles and ornaments um it's been decorated with strings of uh flowers and uh kind of crystals um to give it this beautiful appearance and there are all sorts of gift wrapped presents underneath it um and you see little vala young vala uh kind of cradling her face you can see kind of like big heavy sobs as she's just holding a very clumsily wrapped gift um that you can see uh she's holding in her hands uh and max kind of makes pod plods his way over to it and sort of like nudges up against her and she kind of like

rubs his face like berries berries her face in his and then seems to notice all of you on her back. Max, how did you get these? Daddy put them away. And then she kind of ceases to see them and looks down and begins picking you guys up. And you do find that as soon as Valor picks you up you can't move or speak. You're just locked back into a toilet. As you do so.

And she just is just like, it's not fair. It's not fair. I just want to spend time with mum and dad. I hate that they have to work and they fight all the time. You're my only friends. And she's kind of like, you know,

sniffling and crying as she speaks. Just like, it's not fair. And then a shadow kind of falls over and you see Calus a shadow kind of falls over and you see Kallus in this kind of... He's taken off the tailcoat jacket and you can see that he wears just like a kind of woolen kind of jumper

underneath and he comes and sits on the floor next to her. I'm sorry for shouting at you earlier. I just... You have a lot of responsibilities, Valor. Responsibilities I can't fulfill. Your mother is so very busy running the kingdom,

and I have my own responsibilities. We just want to make sure that you're ready when you're older. I know, I just... I miss her, and I... I don't... I want to have fun. Mum always wants to have fun. He's just like, I know.

I know I'm not as fun as your mother can be I know that I'm boring and strict but I love you and I just want what's best for you and she holds the little present out to callous you can see it says to

mum and dad written on it he's like oh I think it best that we wait for your mother to get back don't you she'll be home soon and she looks up with big kind of shining eyes really yes now come along let's why don't we have a little adventure with these friends of yours eh and uh he kind of takes probably uh he probably takes ayla and uh century the two the the least kind of more aggressive looking one and you can see it's awkward like you can see the way that callus holds them and he tries to join in it's very awkward and unpleasant uh he tries his best but it doesn't

quite work but valor doesn't care max like kind of runs around between them and for a few hours there is just this moment of kind of happy harmony uh until late in the evening someone appears to much fanfare around the palace trumpets are blown servants wait and entering through the main doors is a resplendent dark skinned woman with black hair that shines like the galaxy and as soon as she enters light just almost seems to fill the place that the the fire seems brighter the sconces seem brighter and she ushers away all of the servants and just embraces valor tightly to her and she kind of says i'm so glad to see you little one she kind of pulls her in close uh and then she seems to look at all of you and there is a look of recognition not just

as toys but as if she's looking at you as people well i think it's getting quite late and it's nearly someone's bedtime but as if she's looking at you as people. Well, I think it's getting quite late and it's nearly someone's bedtime. And Val is like, no, you've just got home. I am going to be home for many more days now, my darling. We will speak to you. We will play in the morning, but first let's get you to bed.

And you see, oh, I should put her toys away. No, no, no, dear, don't worry. Let me do that. Why don't you take Let me do that. Why don't you take her up to bed and I'll take care of the toys. And Cabas is like, oh, very well. And he picks up Valor and begins carrying her back up the way she came. And then Siaska just gathers you all up and rests you on a large, comfy sofa and seems to crouch.

Well, this is a little predicament, isn't it? You still can't speak or move just yet, but she blinks her eyes, focuses, and you begin to feel that movement coming back. Her powers are getting quite strong. She's created quite the little illusion here. you should be able to move and speak now i can't believe it it's it can't possibly be you it's such an honor no no believe me the honor is mine no no believe me the honour is mine

I think Sentry would take a knee just like bow on one knee head deep into her chest I'm afraid that I'm nearly sort of an echo of who you think I am I'm not well I'm not ready yet

my powers are returning and I think Valor's desires have manifested me in a way. It's difficult to explain. Divinity stuff, I'm afraid. But I think I have enough power to return us to the world that was. But my question, my little toys,

is do you want to do you wish to go back to how things were facing danger and death at every corner you're safer here no more lost loved ones no more pain just happy days on adventures with my daughter that does sound lovely doesn't it I'll look over at Lucius's beautiful mansion that's in the corner it's got everything we need

I've got all the fashion I could ever have but that's in the corner. Sure. It's got everything we need. I've got all the fashion I could ever have. But no one to share it with. No one real. And if we didn't go back, then who would stop the evil and the death back there. Someone's got to do it, right? Does it have to be you?

You've all suffered so much. I don't see anyone else stepping up. Why not us? Gives us purpose. Well, that's two. What about the rest of you the vala here has found some level of peace and happiness

in the family that she has with you and with Calus but that's not the Calus and the vala that we know we have to bring that level of peace to her Siaska looks forlornly towards the door and the stairs level of peace to her. Siaska looks forlornly towards the door and the stairs. I know you have a lot of my son

in you, but you're not quite right about everything. There's a lot more of that man in your world than you realize. I see. Well, three of five. We have a responsibility now. All the pain we've endured surely has to keep coming so we can have real adventures with Valor in the future

and everybody else on Aroas. I want it all to be real. Responsibility is a big thing. I understand responsibility and duty. And what of our little curious Guinness? Um, I won't lie I've actually I do think having detachable limbs and a touch full head would be quite useful without any penalty

penalties just think of all the things I could explore and do with it but on top of what everyone else has said, Tiangong's not here. Tiangong is still out there and still needs to be reunited and made whole. And as long as Tiangong needs that, I'm afraid I can't stay here. Still needs a brick master to put them all back together again. Well,

I think I have enough. Whatever remains of me here, my daughter's powers are still young, untested. I think I can undo all of this. But perhaps I could ask a favor of you all. Give me till morning.

Of course. Of course. Yes. She just kind of gathers you all up, takes you upstairs quietly, silently, brings you into the bedroom that you had spent so much energy to escape. And you see a very sleepy Valar softly drifting off as her father, Kallus, your enemy, the one who has done so much harm to the real world that you know, reads her a story.

that you know reads her a story a story of a knight who had to make a terrible decision to save his kingdom but valor drifts off siaska places you next to her puts a hand on callus's shoulder their hands kind of Her hand drifts down his arm and interlocks in his fingers. They stand up and leave together. You spend the night just listening to Valor sleep. Left alone in the quiet with just each other for company. No sleep needed for toys is there anything over the night that you discuss or that happens i think at some point i might uh kind of scooching closer to her see if uh like she might grab me or something and just like

as a hug i'm a hug me quill. That's what I do. Kind of like wiggle in and like the kind of subconscious feeling is yeah she kind of squeezes you tight sensing that something's there. I'll whisper to the rest of the pie so that Valor doesn't hear. I think we all

needed this. Valor's given us something special. This is our goal. What we're aiming for. Let's make it happen. Agreed. Yeah, this is nice. yeah this is nice the window just at the foot of

Valor's bed looks out onto a starry night sky and you just kind of happily watch the stars and the clouds until golden rays begin to crest the horizon as you sit and enjoy

just hours of peace and safety. And as the first rays begin to crest, you hear Siaska's voice once again. Well, it is time for the dream to end. But I will

return soon. Keep her safe until then. The light builds until it becomes a blinding white light. And then when it fades, you are back on the storm chaser.

You wake in beds and quarters, wherever you happen to be. in quarters wherever you happen to be that was a weird dream huh wait you were all there

you had the same dream I dreamt I was a big squishy toy and Vala was squeezing me and then a dog chased, and a snake bit me and squeezed me as well, and I got squeezed. I kept getting squozed. What's the past tense of squoze? Squid? It was real. And we had Transformon, Sentry, and Brickmaster Nova. And Strong Arm Man. I used my head to hit a snake. Sorry about that. I mean, it worked. It worked, right?

I've got a bit of a headache now. So was that truly Valor that did that? Was it truly Siaska? Did she speak to us? More importantly, she said she's coming back. Let's make it happen then. Like I said.

Well, on that, we've got a bit of time to read out some donos but that very canon episode of high rollers comes to you really all right i mean canon is to say i mean it didn't happen in Eros but you know yeah for sure there's some very real lore in there very real lore

very real lore you didn't have to feel the whole fucking thing up Mark jeez I didn't expect responsible sad dad responsible sad dad responsible sad dad now Yeah. Responsible sad dad. Now I'm with Nova. I'm going to go join Starbane.

Yeah. Thank you. Finally. This is why. He's a soft boy the whole time. He's... What was the good? He's a human.

He's dead. Let's not go too far. He's not a soft boy. He just has a bit of bad energy, let's say. Yeah. I want to see Starbane in a jumper, though, you know? Hello. Yeah.

I was going to say, if and when we fight Starbane, in the main campaign, if and when we fight Starbane, I'm absolutely just going to be ruined by the fact I will be imagining him in a dad jumper. Yeah, so... Playing with toys. With valour. What was the gift?

What was the gift? You don't know? Shit. God damn it, she probably got like a Buzz Lightyear or something. A darplushie. Have to remind us to when things blow over which you know it'll be fine

we'll ask val what that was maybe yeah if she knows maybe you'll remember was it a playstation 5 yeah it was the rarest gift a playstation 5 or just an iou one thing that nobody not even hadar I'm writing it down the rarest gift of all a Playstation 5 one thing that nobody

not even Hadar can get hold of a PS5 that's why he's so mad that's my PS5 I can consume everything except a PS5 game because I have nothing to play.
