Nerd Poker - Episode 29 - Wexhall

Episode Date: August 6, 2019

First things first, the Ice Five is facing down some gnomish guards that they kinda sorta accidentally picked a fight with. The hope is that they can continue to travel east and locate the Archmage of Vanzervale and get him to explain what happened to the landscape. Probably nothing to it as long as everyone's super persuasive to new friends, right? Oh, right, they're accidentally in a fight with two gnome guards.

Hey everybody, I'm Brian Poussin, Comedian, writer, actor, nerd. I've been playing D&D with my friends for a long time.

I'm right here behind you. Last time on Nerd Poker, you ran away from a beholder you made with your own two hands by allowing a mind flayer to dip a god shard into a pool of brine. And as you sailed away, you saw some weird shit in the water. Brian. And as you sailed away you saw some weird shit in the water. And then you almost headed to Dame Island because you couldn't quite figure out the best

way to describe where you were going and your DM was a little confused so we talked about Dame Island for maybe longer than we needed to. But then you pulled your boat along shore and you headed east towards an encampment of gnomes where TikTok took personal offense to the way the gnome was speaking to him.

And I believe called him a cocksucker. Some spears were lowered. And I am now going to have you roll initiative. Wait, didn't I do a check and they were maybe? Yeah, the persuasion was I needed you to either beat a 15 or him to beat a 15. He didn't intimidate. So basically, they are coming at you. I will say, as you roll initiative, you guys, we can have a conversation about this.

Oh, geez. You all right? What's happened? Sorry. What's happened? Sam made a noise that sounded like this game is wild he knocked over my fabric egg you guys yeah it was it was your best one either a meaningless knocking noise or like a 12 ounce bottle of mountain dew landing on his

laptop it felt like one of those things might be happening so uh yeah i mean you can we can roll initiative or you you can just simply tell from your passive insights uh you could easily take these two gnomes you could just fucking crush them so as they're approaching you i'm we don't have to run that's not why we're here they're gonna fight you this is just like time slowed down you guys thinking about how you're gonna handle this all right i mean we don't really want to initiative while you do it's too late it's happening you can't talk to them they're they're charging tick i rolled a. I cast darkness on their faces. Darkness.

No, you don't get to just declare what you're doing. You just talk about if you're fighting or not. Roll initiative, everybody. Damn it. We're skipping the clock. If you're casting darkness, if you're attacking, we are rolling initiative. Yeah, I got a 13. I got a three.

No, I really needed a high number. I need to go around to get everyone's numbers. You should roll it to get a high number. Just roll it. Sam style. TikTok, I really needed a high number. I need to go around to get everyone's numbers. You should roll it till you get a high number. Just roll it. Sam style. Tick tock, what'd you get? 20. Halcine, what'd you get?

Seven. Queep, what'd you get? I got a three. Darkthor, what'd you get? 21. Holy balls. Guys, you really wanted me to go first. Dr. Ood, what'd you get?

13. To get them to not fight us. you're up doctor fuck i wish i could just you could easily cry there are two gnomes they're wearing no but i don't want leather armor and they're carrying spears but there are plus hoshinka six of you don't let them attack you six plus of you plus take the damage. Plus who? Hashinka. What did it sound like I said? It sounded like you burped in the middle of it and I really liked what it did to her name. Did I? It was like a long Hashinka. It's possible.

I wish I could hold them and get them to not fight. No, I mean, you know what I mean. You can grab one. Hug them. Just be tender. Loving. Hug them. Just be tender, loving. Hug them, doctor. That's what I'm trying to say. Spoon them and watch that new Ali Wong romance comedy on Netflix.

Hold them. Please them. Maybe your sour heart will become sweet. You're the one who started this. Now who's sour? They were very unpleasant. They were a typical Dan Telfer NPC. Sorry, I'm taking too damn long.

Just throw in there. I thought I was going to do one thing, but I don't know. Attitude around. You're changing your mind. I get it. Man, you really casted that wide cranky net. Everybody's to blame but TikTok. I kind of just want to trip them or something.

You can try that. I am about to set a timer, though. You can discombobulate them. I don't want to hurt them or something. You can try that. I am about to set a timer, though. You could discombobulate them. I don't want to hurt them or kill them. Put a banana cream pie in their face. Get your friend to sit on your shoulders, then dress up like a sheik and go to the prom.

I got that. You know what? TikTok, where's your... Darkness. Even though I'm not putting a grid on, I'm going to give you this special... We got these new statuses. This is for you. Sour! There's a sour one?

Yeah, so we've got... Why am I wearing it? Because you fucking started a fight with the gnomes. I'll finish it. I cast darkness on them. Great. Remind us how darkness works if you have the card out. Fair enough.

So let's see. I have to put it up next to my face. We've decided to sit you where there's no lighting. Okay, so 15-foot radius. Darkness spreads around the corners. And completely covers a source. Yeah. I think this is,

this is like an instantaneous. Yeah. All right. So boom, they're up in, uh, in some darkness. Do you strike a note on your loot again?

Yes. I forgot to do that. Save me. Stay really quick. These things, these status rings, they're, uh, they're from,. Save me, Sting. Really quick, these things, these status rings, they're from I paid for them like an adult, but they did the custom sour one for us just because they're cool. They're very cool. I love that.

They're from a website called chestandtrove.com Thank you, Chest and Trove. And I said I would plug them because they were cool enough. Chest and Trove! There's like all these different statuses that we can use. Here's how I do it, though. Okay, how do you do the darkness ring? I hit the loot by...

Yes. It's hanging on my shoulder here, and I tap it like Yngwie Malmsteen and flip it around my back. And it comes into this hand and power cord, and then darkness. Roll a performance check. Roll a performance check. Roll a performance check.

That's the best. No, I bought it. I do not even know my mom's doing it. I'm pretty sure. You hear, as the darkness flies up, you just hear yelling inside the darkness. What genre of music is that even supposed to be, man? As they are completely covered in darkness.

TikTok, you're up. Maybe they're more into alien ant farm. As long as they're in the darkness, are they still moving through the darkness? You can't tell. It's pitch black and you're all on the outside. You do feel like if they're continuing in their current path, they're going to collide with you out of the darkness? You can't tell. It's pitch black and you're all on the outside as they... You do feel like if they're continuing in their current path, they're going to collide with you out of the darkness. I guess then what I'm going to do

is I'm going to hold my action. My action would be as soon as I see one, I'm going to try and grapple one in a calm down buddy. Get my noogie. Yeah, that's what I was trying to get at. Like somebody should.

So I'll hold my, until I, until I can see one coming out of the darkness. I could also yell that, yell something at them. Like, you know, we,

we're not here to hurt you. Stop. Yeah. Please friends. Persuasion. 10. Silence from the darkness Dr. Ud you're up I am

going to is everything okay Sam he dropped his ring all of a sudden we all noticed Sam was burrowing under an end table for some reason thank you sorry I didn't get a picture of that Oh, okay. All of a sudden, we all noticed Sam was burrowing under an end table for some reason. Thank you.

Sorry, I didn't get a picture of that. Delightfully strange. I'm sorry, what are you doing? Blaine? You know what? Did you say or did we just... Can I throw up a... Sausage? Can I throw up a... Sausage? Can I throw up a detect magic?

Yeah, sure. I just want to see what's going on. I just want to do a wave of the room. You're sort of in an open, gravelly field right now with sand kind of still mixed in because you're coming off of the riverside. It's like a silty dark sand and uh the the it just feels kind of like magical darkness in front of you nothing else pinging except the magical items on your friends okay all right it seems like these are

not two magical soldiers charging uh okay well then i'm gonna thorn whip one of these guys now you're gonna you're gonna roll this attack with disadvantage because they're that we all they're in pitch black are should i should i not attack this guy they're fine they're i was trying to de-escalate the whole thing de-escalate all right you know who did a weird burp in the middle of their word this time? Okay, you don't have to jump all over.

I said. You know what? She just caught herself. I caught myself before you. She's already making fun of herself, and then you're like, yeah, yeah, fuck you.

Correct. That's what happened. You know, I'm not going to actually thorn whip, and I'm going to activate my thorn whip. Okay.

Just so that they. I don't know why I was so excited to get my revenge on Sarah, but I was. That to get my revenge on Sarah but I was that's cool cool one of these guys

is coming out of the darkness now right at you TikTok wait I didn't get my turn yet no wait what's your

did you do you rolled a seven on your initiative one of these guys got a 12 so this is very unfortunate as he emerges

can I grapple him well so he he's coming out he's about five feet in front of you um i'm gonna have him do a a perception check to see if he's really coming at you because he is coming out of darkness it might have thrown him a little bit and you were trying to like hold your action so uh oh he rolled real low so yeah he's kind of missing. Great. He tries to wheel around and hit you regardless. He's far enough away that he can take a swing, but it's going to be with disadvantage.

Cool. Oh yeah. He whiffs his spear at you. You may now take your turn because you were waiting for this. I'm trying to grapple him. Okay. Strength check, yeah. He whiffs his spear at you. You may now take your turn because you were waiting for this. I'm trying to grapple him. Okay. Strength check, please. 14.

All right. He's going to contest that. You still win. He rolled a six. Cool. So you get it. He is now restrained. Yeah.

I'm like, shh, shh, shh. Hey, hey, hey. Kiss him on the temple. We're friends. We're friends. It's okay. Uh, next up we have, is it Halcine? Yep.

It's Halcine. Okay. So one of them is grappled. One of them is not. It's still in the darkness. Yeah. Okay. So I'm going to cast, um, command on that one.

Okay. And I'm going to say. You have to be able to see them to cast... I can see his legs. And my command will involve his legs. I'll allow it. We haven't established

that Darkthor always casts darkness right above the ground. You know it. He does. But the precedent has indeed been set that we always look at everyone's little legs

hanging out of the darkness. Weird precedent, but yeah, it took me a second to put the pieces together you get the same effect when you cast bathroom stall on someone remind us how command works please uh you speak a one word command to a creature you can see within range the target must succeed on a wisdom saving throw or follow the command on its next turn dance the spell has no effect if the target is undead doesn't understand your language or if your command is directly harmful to it uh he rolled a two okay so he for real fails so i say sit see a little gnome butt go in the sand and now we can see his face right no no no you see like like maybe above his tummy i mean he's pretty short but he got his, not his whole body sticking out. All right.

So he's sitting. One of them's grappled. We will now halt the turn order, and you guys may now proceed. Listen, guys. God damn it. Let me out. There's no hostility here. We're just checking in.

I still am not sure that you have a game plan. It's very confusing. And you're hostile. We probably do not have a game plan, but I assure you it's not hostile. We've been away, as I said, for a long time. We were trying to get the lay of the land here. We're a little confused as to what's going on. It seems like there are people in trouble here.

A lot of things have changed. You may have heard of us. I say kind of like embarrassed almost with it. We're the Ice Five. And we're here to help. Alright, well, do you have a city you could build us? That'd be great, he says as he relaxes in his grip.

When she says we're the Ice Five, do you know what that means? He's just starting to get it. I'm genuine. I'm curious. Does that mean anything? He kind of blinks. He's like, I truly am very confused

by your alternating hostility and warmness. I'm trying to figure out what to do. You got me dead and warmness. I'm trying to figure out what to do. I mean, you got me dead to rights here. I'm just saying, maybe the next time you started hot, so you got hot back. I'm protecting my people. You see how pathetic we are over here? I got to call in reinforcements.

What do you mean for us? If you're a threat. We're not a threat. Maybe you should let me go. Okay, calm down in a second. I'm calm. Let's go. So who's in charge?

Let's blow the darkness away from this guy, right? Did we already? Is that guy still in darkness? Yeah, the other guy. He's just sitting there. Can you remove the darkness from him? Do you wave the... Someone just hit Siri.

What's happening? Sorry. God damn it, Sam. Siri, can I wave the darkness away? Yes, you can... That band, The Darkness. Disperse the darkness. Shitty song. Here you go.

You disperse the darkness and you see the other gnomes sitting there just kind of blinking. Have you heard of the Ice Five? Ah. What? Is that a band? Probably not online. online hasn't come this far up river yet two idiots we're working on it we're here to save the world uh the guy who you've been talking to says uh that there is a sort of lord of the eastern encampment. A gnome.

Can we talk to him? That's definitely a weird laugh. He's very excited to meet the lord of the gnomes. But he explains it's a very informal title. They just didn't know what else to do in their current situation. Casual lord. Like lord of the Dance.

Yeah, yeah. But he lives in a protected area near the center of the encampment. Shall we? Like the way Tommy Bahama is a Lord. We didn't get the name. What about our gnome friend? Lord of the Dance was touring.

John Colbeck on the boat. Gexwick. Oh, Gexwick. Do they know Gexwick? Gaelic music. What do you say? Michael Flatley. Look up Michael Flatley.

I'm very hard time following two conversations at once. I apologize. We say very with a neutral tone. Do you know Gexwick? One of them goes, oh, yeah, Gexwick. He was looking for survivors up in the glaciers. He left here a month ago. He brought one of those Marifkas with him.

Yep. Do you know where we could find more Marifkas? Yeah, I mean, they usually live, you know, in small towns, but one at a time. They don't gather in groups. Like a sheriff? No, more like mercenaries. But like, they're nice. They're creepy as hell looking though.

Yep, okay. They're like weird spider people. Oh, damn. What was what did you guys think of Gexwix's God damn it. Gexwix's plan. I it. Gexwix's plan. I mean, he was just, I thought, salvaging.

I don't know what else he was doing. How do you know Gexwix? You said he was looking for survivors. I just was wondering how you felt about that. I like people not being dead. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Shall we go? He's confused by this line of discussion. He's like, yeah. Well, guess what? We've come from the past to save the future. Ice fight! Do you try to just describe to him like the whole thing or? No, I'm just, I was just trying to,

I was trying to get a sense of how he felt about the plan to try to find people who had survived the. He seems a little indifferent. Oh. Well, he doesn't seem like a great guy. I mean, he threw a little back and forth. You put together that Gexwick was, you know, respected, but more of just like treated like a crazy adventurer type if no one knew him

that well between at least the guards and uh yeah okay well let's go meet this lord then right and he's like uh i guess i can escort you to the edge of town and uh see if we can get an envoy with the lord but i'm not gonna let you in the middle of an encampment, as weird as this shit has been, unless we can have you escorted by a pretty big retinue of guards. Sure. Ooh, a retinue. Looks like we got us an envoy.

Envoy. Breaker, breaker. Yeah, I mean, are you cool just being escorted to the edge of the encampment? Yeah, let's do it. Let's go. Sam, you got a Google Com. They walk you there. When they go there, they start whistling. And about a dozen guards come. And then a couple of them leave.

And there's about 20 guards just sort of line up with spears along the edge of the encampment. All right, settle down. 20? Yeah. They seem to be protecting the people who all look very poor and destitute and are shuffling around. You see a few of the gnomes

sort of run away as you approach nervously. And eventually one of the guards comes by with what you can tell is a baron. I mean, he's wearing clean clothes, but they are not nice clothes. He is still wearing slippers that are made of simple cloth. Wait, did you is a baron i mean he's wearing clean clothes but they are not nice clothes he is still wearing slippers that are made of simple cloth did you say the baron i'm sorry

not the baron the lord the lord the baron of pepper green still magically stuck in a quill in tiktok's backpack let's not forget that guys did everyone forget that no No. No? Nope. Sure. The Baron approaches. Just kidding. The Lord. And introduces themselves as Bixie Tinkertonk. Bixie Tinkertonk. Of the Long Island Tinkertonks?

And says, what do you guys want? Boy, more of this refreshing, welcoming attitude. I'll tell you that. Well, we're poor and we live in constant fear. What do you want, man? We want to help. Okay. Let's see. We could use walls, ceilings, floors, food, utensils, medicine.

Can anybody here use a thorn whip? Where's the super wizard? The super wizard? What's the term? You go back and forth. He tells you, oh yeah, the Archmage of Vanzervale. Archmage of Vanzervale. No one's sure around here exactly where he lives,

but it is near the time of the Moon Festival. And during the Moon Festival, he usually visits a nearby town called Wex Hall. Oh, really? Which is just which is sort of near the Rusted Mountains, a little farther east. That's also near the dragons, right? It's near all sorts of stuff. It's near the dragons. It's Uh, it's near all sorts of stuff. It's near the dragons. It's near a queeps hometown.

Oh, this tribe. Maybe we'll get to see your nest. Not a fan. Listen, do you have any people who need healing or anything that we can do to, to try to, you know,

it's very enthusiastically. Uh, they've got a lot of sick people and, we are here to help. I'd like to, yeah, I'd like to go help to just to set the table here for us in a little better way than we started okay so i'd like to go well if you want we can just say

that you you spend you know uh the day going around just using spells as much as you can on people who need it dog throw an eye each where he's got a white overalls i've got red overalls but only one strap and we're gonna to use paint and we're going to paint the whole Civic Center for the kids to have a place to hang out. They did say they needed walls, but I do love the idea. Because I thought at first you were

Mario and Luigi, though. More breaking, I'm thinking. Yeah, we got to save the community center. Okay. Raise your hand if you want to help. I'm thinking. Yeah, we got to save the community center. The community center for sure. Okay. Raise your hand if you want to help Halcine heal people. Anybody?

Anybody? You'll help? Okay. I could do it. Noted. Are you guys going to do anything to help out the encampment? Yeah.

Whatever. Any fortification. Great. You three do survival checks. You two do medicine checks. All right. I got a 20 on medicine check. Yeah, medicine.

If I'm proficient, I roll for advantage? Absolutely. Cool. 22. 14. What'd you get, Blaine? 20. What'd you get, Brian?

What is this? Survival. Survival. What'd you get while he's? 20. What'd you get, Brian? What is this? Survival. Survival. What'd you get? Well, he's checking. 11. All right. You still looking at your survival?

Oh, no. 16. Great. So you managed to fortify the guards' quarters, set a few of the places in the poorer end of town up, so they've got more

clean, weather-protected areas, and you managed to heal some of the people who've got, like, broken limbs and seem to be septic, and you know, things definitely seem to be uh septic and um you know things definitely seem to have improved in the eight hours that you spend trying let's all shake hands and congratulate each other on a job well done so uh the eastern camp is grateful and uh they do

tell you yes if uh you want you can stay uh we can talk more or you can please no statues it sounds like you were interested in Wexhall where the there is stuff yeah definitely okay so it is night time are you going to stay the night in the encampment or are you going to travel

I mean I need to rest up for yeah and we can maybe by being guards for the night that might help with our welcome. Okay. Well, we'll do a fast forward because this is going to end up being pretty safe tonight. Cool. And you guys can get all your spells and health back

with a long rest without any danger happening overnight. The beds are not comfortable. happening overnight. The beds are not comfortable. It's just sort of straw piles in a slightly dry place. I use Gus as a pillow. What do you use with Gus?

I use Gus as a pillow. Aww. The power dynamic makes that weird now that we know that he is. Yeah, there is a weird point in the night where he goes, when do I get to use you as a pillow? Whatever you want, boss. I'm going to do it.

Okay, it's not a threat. Sounds kind of cuddly. I should lay down on his chest. So when morning breaks, you going to head east to Wexhall? Yes. Yes. All right. As day breaks, you start heading east,

and you can see right away the mountains in the distance. There's foothills. Queep, you actually recognize the peaks. Do you want to do a foggy memory check for me? Sure. So, again, this is charisma plus wisdom minus two. Not enough. All right.

Well, it's enough that you recognize you know this is where your tribe lives the Kowakawaka tribe for real? yeah yeah yeah and you recognize are you writing that down? yeah yeah yeah

and you see the mountain that your people lived on it's the nearest one. Mount Fools. I have the photo. Like I said in the last episode, I left my maps at home.

Mount Kakakaka. You see that in the distance. I have water in my mouth. So, see that in the distance. I have water in my mouth. So you're going to head where they basically tell you Wexhall is? Yeah. While

going east, it only takes a little while before you see there's a town sort of between a couple of hills and some people in white robes are walking around near the end black curtain uh white robes what does that match did we fight white robes at the beginning yes so who are the white robes do an insight check i think you get them at burke williams remember we were wearing them

the dwarves were laughing at us and saying, yeah. They were the Tenebrous one people. Yeah, that's right. They're helpers. 19. His helpers. It's helpers. You recognize that the white robes are at least similar to the ones you saw on the

floor of the cave where you awoke and you took. It's hard to tell from this distance. When we asked about it, didn't they say the white-robed people helped the Tenebrous one? They're like his... Alright, so very casually, get ready to murder

them. I mean, do you approach... Right now you're about just like under a mile away, so you're just seeing these sort of white robed figures in the distance can't quite tell they look like they're of average humanoid height well this is our one chance is there like let's say we're a mile away can we you can be uh potentially stealthy here because they're they're not expecting you um but we don't want to kill

them we want to kill like let's we want to get to this nebris one right do we want to sneak around i'm saying you want to get the drop on them or you want to walk i'm saying i don't know if we kill like let like aren't we going why don't everybody do a stealth check while you think 14 excuse me pardon me 24 the number 4 oh oh dear you did? no I got a 10

9 what'd you get Blaine? I got a 14 I have noted all your numbers they're too far away to know if you've successfully been stealthy as you duck behind a small crop of trees. Well, some of us duck in Halcine's standing. Yeah, then Halcine stands there picking her fingernails for a second.

Do you just want to talk to everybody? We can do that. Riverdance. All right. So as you duck into the trees, you have a moment you think perhaps to come up the game plan. All I'm saying is we can get the drop on them. No, I get it, but weren't we trying to talk

to the Archmage of Vancervale? Yeah, but these are Tenebrous ones. But wasn't there some suggestion that he might be the same person? Am I making that up? No, so... Please help. There's rumors about all sorts of people,

and it's difficult to piece together exactly what's going on because no one seems to know exactly what's going on. But there is a dark wizard known as the Tenebrous One who seems to command evil forces and have brought the comet into the planet. There is also the Archmage of Vanzervale who is the most well--known powerful wizard around but he hasn't necessarily been accused of anything or associated directly with the tenebrous one it was a conclusion you

came to that if and it was it was like a really quick thing that you guys kind of breeze past but it is worth reminding you guys every once in a while because I think I've reminded you at least once already. It could be like appearances could be deceiving sort of a situation. Okay. So do we want to try to disguise ourselves? Do we want to try to come around? You do have those robes still that you took off. That's convenient, but we also have a large

warthog. I'm just hiding. I'll just go over here and hide. Okay. So how many of you are going to approach? Hoshinka's with you also. I probably should. Oh, you're also a bird? Maybe the three half-elves.

Does that make sense? Hoshinka can hang. I have deception, Jameson. Okay. Yeah. Hoshinka can hide with myself. Darkthor's a good liar. Birdie boy. All right, so.

I'll hide you under my wing. So the two big weirdos are going to wait here in the trees, is what I'm basically summarizing. He called you a weirdo, Hoshinka. Are you three half-elves going to don the white robes, as was suggested? Yes. Yes, and I'm going to cast Bless before we go anywhere. Great.

Should it come up? I have little Bless rings. Elves in white robes. From the place. Although, it says it's only one minute, so actually I probably want to wait to do that. Yeah, I think you would know to wait. Before we're about to interact. Chest and Trove.

Thank you, chestandtrove.com for my little ringy rings. Yeah, so as you approach, are you going to be sneaky or are you just going to try to stride out? Because there's trees, but it's fairly open ground. We're just striding, right? Guys? Look natural. White-robed friends?

Yeah. We're striding. We're just going to stride out. We're just going to try to, you know. And to be clear of the visual picture, so the hills become mountains pretty quickly. Are they alive? Huh?

Nothing. With the sound of music? This little town, you can see buildings. There's civilization between two hills, and there's like a small canyon leading up to it. So you kind of have to go between two hills and there's like a small canyon leading up to it so you kind of have to go between two large hills with like steep faces to get in there and there's trees and there's two people in white robes walking around um as you stride forward uh it is two tieflings with bright red skin and you know big tiefling horns and and uh they just sort of turn. When they're wearing white robes, the tieflings?

Mm-hmm. I'm a tiefling. I disguise myself. I'm going to need you to do a stealth check to do it before they... As soon as I see, I disguise myself. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, try.

I get that that was your impulse and if you can make a good stealth check... I was already going to disguise myself. I believe you. Look. He's holding up a spell card but there was the whole thing where he said you were striding towards 20 motherfucker you're a red tiefling

and you feel pretty good about it motherfucker yeah yeah yeah only because it's a 20 if I said 16 I wouldn't have said motherfucker. There's some checks I make you do largely for fun, and that was one of them, too. You'd call you a fart master.

That's a 16. Yeah, they don't seem, as far as you know, to notice that you were at one point a half drow in the distance, as far as you think you know. Cool. I'm going to slowly turn into a tiefling. were at one point a half drow in the distance, as far as you think you know. Cool. I'm going to slowly turn into a tiefling. Yeah, and as you approach Dr. U,

it just takes a couple of horns and kind of slowly rubs them on his forehead to see if they stick. And also poops. But they say, they both kind of look at you, and you notice their robes are different from a distance they seem similar um yours are very flowing and one piece but they've got kind of they're like they're there's a top and then a bottom so there's like a frock and uh one of them turns to you and says uh good day. What brings you here? You wanted to go?

You said you had good deception, remember? Welcome to Wexhall. I hate playing it. I just want the card to do all that stuff. I have to say, it's many people's favorite. Is the admiral back? What, me being terrible at it? You giggling and freaking out. Just fucking, all right.

Just passing through. What was the name of the place we were originally? You're going to? Wexall? Wexall? Yeah, we're heading to Wexall. Ah, well, you found Wexall. Welcome.

Are you here for the Moon Festival? Of course. Wonderful. It's going. I turned to Hoshinka He's the best at tricking people Watch this I hate it, why did I do it?

I always forget I have to fucking commit to it Tell me, it's rare we see a tiefling We don't recognize, where are you from? Are you starting to sweat the red makeup on? No. God, I want to yell your mom and then stab them. Fucking Improv Alley. I don't know.

I hate fucking. Improv Alley. I hate this part of the game. Do a deception check. Nine. They kind of nod and giggle. Improv Alley, you say? No, I didn't say that out loud. I didn't come up with a place.

Okay. So you just pause for a minute and they giggle and looking around the room like the room you're in a field I was looking like usual suspects if I could pull some name off people's shirts

okay I got one I'm from Costello town Costello Town. Costello Town, interesting. Haven't heard of it. It must be from the other... It's in the Beholder Valley next to Critical Nerd Poker.

I did Usual Suspense. And then whatever whiskey's behind Ken. They're cracking up. And they say, well, well, okay, wherever you're from, clearly you don't want to tell us. Well, my name's the Admiral Belvedere 15. They're just dying laughing. This is not working.

And they say, yeah, well, come, come, come, come. Let us show you around. You're clearly not from around here. Allow us to welcome you to Wexhall. Okay, so they're friendly. At least. Yeah. As far as you know.

Why am I still doing this? Until they clock you on that. I thought we were going to have to stab them or something. You head through the outcovering of trees, and you see that there are some stone buildings and an archway and underneath the archway. Where are they? They're in the woods. No, but are they right ahead of us? These two? Yeah, the people we're

walking with. You left them in the trees. As they start walking following with them, I feel like we would shadow them. I'm walking alone with these two. No, you three. We're with you. Halcine and Dr. Ewitt are shadowing you. I just let you do your thing. But where are the tieflings? They're right in front of you. Hal Seen and Dr. Ewitt are shadowing you. I just let you do your thing. But where are the tieflings? They're right in front of you.

In front of me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You two, so you're going to try to sneak in. I turn back. Do a stealth check, you two. TikTok and Queep. And Hasek is with us, too. Correct.

I'll have her do a stealth check. She's very good at it. Are the robes the same religion? She rolled a 22 on her stealth check. They don't match. They don't match. They're moon robes. 25. What'd you get, Queep? 10. Donk.

Well, they don't seem to be looking in your direction as you try to keep a semi visual distance between you. But yeah, you guys, there's a town square that they lead you through. There's two big buildings that they look like inns with like a stone archway with like you know

like lit up rooms inside of it and you go into the archway uh there's a few wagons set up it looks like people come to wex hall for the moon festival and the wagons are you know full of things to buy there's produce and stuff like that are we already in the moon festival or is it it looks like it, yeah. There's little cakes that are for sale and people are gathering around. We're here to see who that was. Are there any other races around?

Yes. It's mostly humans and a couple of elves. That's kind of a racist question. High elves. You're seeing from a distance, Queep, so why don't you do a perception check? Well, that's probably not good.

Nine. You see humans and elves. Alright. Just seeing if we can blend in at all. You three, yeah, you notice humans and elves and a couple of other folk walking around of different races uh but only out of the corners of your eyes but everyone's wearing white robes

all of them uh different kinds everyone's wearing right everyone all different kinds of white rope technically you don't quite see it from a distance you're back there so wait but everyone's wearing different kinds of they look like homemade everyone's got their own version so we look like we're matching some people have stitched like uh astronomy things into them so you kind of tie that together with the whole moon festival thing and uh your two tiefling friends uh just sort of nod as you seem to look around and uh say well if that will be all then we will leave you to the celebration okay how did you turn back to dark there oh oh how did we come to be here? I turned back to dark there. Oh. Oh. How did we come to be? Well, after the comet hit, where we lived underground was no more, and we just headed

south. This seems like a very nice place, don't you think? I do. Yes. That's why also I am here. Will you be staying for the celebration tonight? I wouldn't miss it. For the moon.

They wink really hard at you and walk away it's the loudest blink I've ever heard so yeah doc do you want to throw on a robe and try to blend in do you think do you think we'll pass the last time I wore a robe they laughed at us I mean I think we can approach oh you guys can't see this. Hoshinka says, if you like, I think maybe I will be your spy on the outside of town. Yeah. Keep an eye on you from a distance. You two, you will maybe stick out like so-sums, especially you.

This is my advice. What do I know? You are growing on me, though. I know I'd like to see you die cool thanks no truly truly it is as if you have uh made me more interesting uh person oh cool um all right uh what do you think you want to go in you want to hang back she she doesn't think we'd be safe to go in or she was she just thinks you'll stick out because but you already knew that she's sort of reiterating i mean they know we're trying

to meet the the wizard of vanzervale or mage why don't we just hang out here all right we can scout around maybe see if we can yeah so you're coming from the west and this is between hills you think you can get inside the hills through this pass but you're going to need to do another stealth check to kind of get through the pass without. Can you cast disguise on other people? Yeah you're still a tiefling. How long does that last? Halfway through this date with this

tiefling girl. You have an hour of being a tiefling. I'm going to do 10 again. You got a 10. What being a tiefling. I rolled a 10 again. You got a 10. What'd you get there? I got a natural 20. So 27. Hoshinka didn't roll that great. But you all try to get through the path

as far as you can tell. And it's self. You get through the path and now there's more trees. Hoshinka says she's gonna kind of head north great uh sort of along the western edge of this little this little uh you know area where the town is nestled between the hills um what do you guys want to do um i look for someone who looks like what do you want to do i look for somebody who's like is there like a someone

selling selling goods or around that I could ask? Yeah, what kind of food do you want to eat? There's meat for sale. Okay, I'm just going to go up to someone and be like, we just arrived. Can you let us, what is the itinerary really for tonight? So you walk up to a high elf and- Is Weird Al playing this thing?

I played that thing last season. What? When you had the Is Weird Al playing this thing? I played that thing last season. What? When you had the fake Weird Al. Oh, from last campaign? Yes. Okendoink. Yeah. Okendoink the, what do you call it?

The Furbulg. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is Okendoink playing? Okendoink. They don't recognize the name Okendoink, and neither do you as you try to conjure it because you're not the same character um yeah uh i know you wish you were but who knows who knows you uh yeah you talked to this high elf um he uh introduces himself as

uh drelk and uh he says hello i'm drel yes. I am from east of the mountains and I have recently immigrated here. And yes, this is a wonderful time. It's just a moon festival. We celebrate the sky and we welcome, of course, the Archmage of Vanzervale who visits and takes small audiences with the people of the town.

There is a lottery if you'd like to meet with the Archmage. Oh, that's great. How do we sign up? He points you to a tent in the north of the square, and you see there's a line to get just a ticket for the lottery. I feel like lotteries and this kind of thing are always bad. Like, we're definitely going to die if we win,

but we should do that because that's how we're going to see him, right, guys? And he breaks it down for you. Basically, they will select 10 people from the lottery and they will be a lot of private audience in a small tent with the archmage the archmage also has brought a fancy light show that will go up over the town after the sun goes down fun fireworks all right so let's go get in line and the fireworks will cover up the noise of his screaming victims i'm sure uh you get in line you wait um you're you're told you can buy a ticket it takes like an hour uh to get to the sign and uh the tickets are just you know one per person one gold each we can only get one per person

yes can we get some for our friends they tell? The woman who's running it is a human, and she says, yeah, I mean, they can get in line. Okay. I just didn't know if you could, you know, buy tickets for your friends. Nope. It's the Archmage of Anzervale. We can't run a scam here.

He'll stop coming. What do people say about the audiences the people who've had them what do they say afterwards about them i mean it'll change your life is that what they say it's not what they say i mean you know what happens right uh i thought i did but maybe i maybe i don't tell me remind me well you know it's it's dark times sure the the town of wexhall is fairly prosperous, and we have the Archmage to thank for that. You know, he brings his goods and services and his protection,

and those who leave the tent, they get what they ask for, and they don't exit the tent. He takes them to where they want to go. He's very powerful. Where do they want to go he's very powerful where where do they want to go well wherever they want oh so he takes them and and takes them to paradise essentially yes but you know it's probably somewhere far away you know like a fun island or a beach it depends it's different for a farm upstate it's different for each person but the understanding is when you get what you want part of it is you don't have to leave because it would be awkward

for everyone else who didn't get their wish i see well fingers crossed so all three of you buy one yeah all right uh you two guys which direction are you gonna go so hashinka so imagine if you will like a ring this town is like a small circular area hills all around hashinka and i'm trying to do this in reverse for you guys hashinka comes up through this pass and starts going north so she's going clockwise she's at like eight o'clock heading up correct well thank you for describing it for the listeners what i'm doing with my hands so we we could. You have Gus at your disposal also. Yeah. My thought is, Gussie.

Yeah, boss. Boss. Boss. Where are they in the city? Because I think we want to be as close to them as possible. Do you want to just kind of fly through the town? You got it. All right.

Want me to be sneaky? Yes, please. I will be sneaky. And then he whispers in your ear, I'm going to use you as a pillow when you least expect it. And then to be sneaky? Yes, please. I will be sneaky. And then he whispers in your ear, I'm going to use you as a pillow when you least expect it. And then he flies away. Oh, no. I hope it's not while we're fighting, but okay.

Roll a stealth check for him, please. Oh, natural 20. Awesome. Plus four. He zips straight up in the sky and you don't even see him. Cool. And you guys are going to head counterclockwise? I think so.

It makes sense to sort of... But the idea being like if for some reason he ended up telling us that he was closer to where Harshenko was, we could double back. Let's get stealth and perceptions from both of you. Yeah, boy. All right, for me. A 19. For which? Stealth, sorry. Yeah, yeah you gotta roll your others uh 23 for stealth

all right you're both sneaky bad perception uh 11 oh wait do i get advantage 16 for perception if it's if i have proficiency yes you do all right you got 16 so six oh that was bad or worse so it's still a 12 or 11 pardon me okay uh well luckily queep is paying slightly more attention with his cuckoo bird eyes as you guys sort of sneak counterclockwise uh you you kind of get through get through and you see something kind of weird um looks like a a statue in a sitting position facing the town amongst the trees. Like hidden away in the trees? A little bit. Not covered,

but... When you say a statue made out of stone, a humanoid shape? Sort of like muddy, dark brown stone. Sitting? Yes. Like on the ground? Yes. Life size? It's about twice as big as you are. It's motionless.

You see it from a distance, too. You see it from about 100 feet through the trees because of his 16. How far from the town? It's like, you know, outcropping of trees isn't very big. You're maybe 200 yards. Detect magic? Humanoid? You're not 200 yards. Detect magic. Humanoid? You're not with them. Oh, sorry. No, you split the

party. Does it look like a human? A tiefling? What does it look like? It's a statue. It's humanoid in shape, but it doesn't appear to be wearing clothes. It seems like a very simple statue. From where it is, does it have a good vantage point of the town? It does seem like it is does it have a good vantage point of the town uh it does seem like it is facing the town it's hard to tell exactly from this distance but it is sort of like

sitting with its knees up its fists are on its knees and it is motionless facing the town well that's weird why don't we check in hey g, Gus. Yeah, boss. Why don't you find Halcine and Darkthorne and the Doctor? Halcine, Darkthorne, Doctor, as you get your lottery tickets and walk away, Gus goes and lands on Darkthorne's shoulder. Hey, boss. Hello, boss. I don't think I've heard you call me boss before. Anyway.

Oh, are we going to change the conversation topic? I'm here to check in on you from the other boss. We're okay. Why is he concerned? Well, they saw... Want to relay it? Yeah. Looks like there might be a stone giant golem,

something sitting here watching the town. Unmoving but definitely here. Before, well let's, we can go up and meet them. I assume you're also going to tell them about the lottery. Yeah, yeah, we tell them about it. But I wanted to ask about the lottery. Is it like tickets, like two halves of a ticket?

Like people keep their... Yeah, you get like a flyer like a small piece of parchment um just trying to figure out how we can rig the lottery well each one has all you want but yeah each one has a four digit number on it four digit number uh-huh uh yours says 1043 yours says 1044 and yours says 1045 okay that is all you can tell from a cursory just normal glance

at these lottery tickets in your hand it appears to have how many can I get for a diamond one per person you'd have to trick, convince, or do something else to do something with this ticket or get more tickets.

Okay, so are we going to go up and meet them in the woods where this statue is? Can we leave? You could try to sneak away. You'd have to do a stealth check. Why do we have to sneak? He said, can we get away? I assume it's because he's worried about being seen going into the woods, but it's up to you.

Is there a reason that we feel like we can't go into the woods? Do an insight check. Okay. Whatever we're supposed to do, I'm going to do the opposite because I rolled a one. You're not sure? You're not sure? Or maybe I am sure that it's fine.

Do an insight check, too. Sure. Or maybe I am sure, but it's fine. Do an insight check, too. 16. 12. Dr. Ood, you do notice nobody else seems to be leaving the square. It seems like those two people you saw go out, you saw two more people leave town through that pass

as you were guided in by those tieflings two humans so those two tieflings are sort of replaced by two humans and no one has left this square. How long is it till the lotto? About an hour Oh okay I didn't realize it was that soon How long would it take for them to come to us?

Ten minutes Come join us for a moment. Gus relays the Elvis. I cast Bless on us. Let's try to sneak into the woods. Okay, let's get some stealth checks. That means you all get advantage, correct? No, you get a D4 to add. So roll a 20 and a D4, please. Oh, wait, no, no, no.

It's not for that kind of thing. It's for attack rolls or saving throws. So you do not cast Bless because this will not help you. No, because we might need a saving throw, right? Maybe. You don't know. If you want to do it, you can cast it. So you do not cast bless because this will not help you. No, because we might need a saving throw, right? Maybe. You don't know. If you want to do it, you can cast it. But you're not going to add one d4 to your stealth.

Everyone just rolls stealth. Oops, that's not a 20-sided die. It's very late. 14. 20. What you got, Bri? Stealth? Yep.

12. Yep. 12. You don't think anyone sees you as you try to slip away into the woods and you catch up with everybody. You get right up to them. Gus leads you. And yeah, you see this big clay shape sitting and staring. Arcana check. Yeah, sure.

But you're staying a couple hundred feet away from it, correct? I think so right now. Yes. 21. It is for sure some kind of golem. You notice it's definitely not moving. It feels like it's probably magical. You're not sure how long it's been there, though.

It looks like it's frozen. And maybe it's been there a while do you feel like you might see moss should we try to talk to him i am a golem sort of you're you're you should hit it off i will uh you yeah and with that arcana check i mean you would know that tiktok is sentient and a very special kind of thing. Most golems are not necessarily sentient, but commanded by something. I was mostly kidding,

but just because that has been my... You know what? You rolled really high with that, ArcanaChick2. It occurs to you that it might not be a coincidence that there is a golem sort of looking over the town and you've heard about the wizard protecting the town. So you don't know if he's here.

I thought it was going to be loosed after the celebration, but that makes sense too. Okay. Well, let's go down further. Guys, you got to get your lottery tickets. Yeah, now explain that to me one more time. What happens when you win the lottery? I'm pretty sure you die when you're transformed, but obviously this is how we're gonna get into the

tent with the archmage or his whoever so we could definitely buy more tickets and maybe actually win but what if can one of you guys just make the ticket be one of the winning numbers once they announce it um i don't have that i don't really have that power um also then you'd have to do something with the person who actually yeah we go oh no oh no please please please won't you also let us in oh please our babies made out of dogs my thought was that we could pickpocket a bunch of people to try to just get their tickets yes um they will be upset if so let's do that how easy would these tickets be to forge

like a different ooh what's your pass on forgery nobody's got forgery I'm pretty sure I think I have like calligraphy clerics might have it I guess but anyone could if you thought of it way back in December.

Terry, are you a good forger? No, actually, he gets in trouble all the time. You did see a familiar-looking guy in Birkenstocks in a white robe walking around. Moonfest, man. You're not sure how he got here from Bozor so fast ahead of you guys. I definitely saw some boys smoking over in the corner probably they're here nice um yeah so i i was thinking we should maybe just try to how many people does it look like there are uh who are in the you know couple hundred okay um so i'm what i'm gonna do is try to um look for the the seediest person

and i have a i have a let's let's make a really quick thing i'm gonna are you guys still kind of just talking in the woods yeah well what i'm i think you two need to decide are you going to walk into the town shall Shall we stay on? Like, if we stayed at the edge, how long would it take if we had to make a dash from the edge to get to the tent? A minute. But you'd have to really be booking it. Yeah.

Why don't we send Gus with you and we can hang here? Well, yeah. Is Gus okay to be in the town? Well, he has. I mean, it hasn't. Yeah, I guess. With that stealth check of 20, I let him perch on Dark's shoulder and nobody really

seemed to acknowledge the perching. How about Dark? I mean, can't he just snuggle up to one of his boss buddies and hide in a cloak or something? You could try, yeah. Just keep him in your cloak. I thought he was like the size. How big is he? He's pretty big. I mean, he's like proportionately that big.

He can fold up his wings and look like a lump in one of your cloaks, but he's definitely going to look like a lump. Okay. So. Alright. What I was going to say is that I was going to try to win, use my gaming tools that I have from my noble background

to try to win some people's lotto tickets lottery tickets off them all right and you're looking for shady people because you think they might be willing to gamble away their lottery ticket um yeah but then i realized what if i lose it depends what you're putting up for a gamble against it um i don't want to lose my ticket is the problem so you definitely saw there was there was maybe like a dark area like amongst the tents where there's some people sitting around okay i'm gonna go there with some some coin if that's okay with everybody all right so you you part ways again with queep and tiktok tiktok can again communicate telepathically with uh with gus who is hiding under one of your cloaks or just perching on a shoulder? Under my cloak. He crawls up under your cloak and he whispers,

I'm under your cloak! after he does it. Hey, check out that guy with the talking cloak! You walk into town and it looks like they're playing dice. It's behind one of the wagons. So you're thinking it's maybe

one of the... You don't see Dice's lady, but you see dice. They're playing it behind one of the uh you don't you don't see uh dice's lady but you see dice and um they're playing it behind one of the wagons yeah it looks like one of the guys who maybe had to drive the cart and a couple of other workers who are not here for the festival they're not wearing cloaks okay they're not wearing white oh so nobody's gonna have a ticket probably you don't know okay but uh they're hanging out back there you're gonna you're gonna walk behind the wagon and talk to them? Yeah. All right.

So you go up there. There's three humans. They look kind of, yeah, just like workers. One of the guys is wearing a riding outfit. What's the buy-in? Well, silver. Or anything interesting? You want to play like real dice?

Well, I just was wondering if we could mix it up a little. You know, money gets boring. You came here to gamble, not for the Moon Festival? Well, let's say I have a side bet going on with some people. So part of that requires me to do a little bit of gaming while I'm here. All right. Let's make some interesting gambles. Have a seat.

Cool. I hope we're on the same page about what that means. What are you putting up? Let's talk first about what I'd like to see. And that is some tickets to that tent. All right. You want a lottery ticket that tent. All right. Do you want a lottery ticket? Yeah.

All right, well, George has a lottery ticket. George, you want in? Do a persuasion check to try to get these guys to gamble the lottery ticket. 17. Yeah, he's like, all right, what do you got? Let's hear what you're putting up, and yeah yeah i'll

gamble my my ticket um okay i'm going to uh they said silver so uh well but now they're but i know they want something they want something but the the level of their game i'm trying to um uh i'm trying to find my money where i had it. It's on my other sheet. Yeah, if you want to gamble for lottery, it's not money. That's a chance to meet with the Archmage. Cool. What about... What does it feel like gold-wise?

What do I feel? I don't have a sense. Sarah doesn't have a sense. But I feel like Halcyon would know what would would be a stunning amount of gold but reasonable for me to like give up i mean maybe more than definitely more than a gold like what he paid for is a gold but because each person gets one i mean you're not sure how let me ask you this how much would a platinum. He says, but I came here to gamble.

Show me something worth a platinum. Throw that down next to my ticket. And he slaps the ticket down on the dirt. Okay. I am going to, that's gross. I can't do that who had shit

does anyone have anything cool because I really don't you've kind of separated from dark through a little bit

I mean and Dr. Reed like you're sort of alone I put down the goblin you guys can be

watching what she's doing but I put down the goblin ear necklace and I'm like this is a powerful protective item

time for that deception check it might be if you don't know what it does you're just that's the thing so uh the reason it just faded out is because sam's laptop exploded um and so metaphorically speaking what we're gonna do now is uh do that role that you just heard about to happen um but i am going to say sarah you you have a choice you can either decide to just try to with gusto imply this goblin ear necklace is extra magical or you can try to you know deceive and lie are you missing your dice wait i have my dice but i i am missing my most important sheet so vamp guys okay vamp everybody while while Sarah gets her sheet.

I think she should do like a really scary, spooky voice. Like, I've got a special thing for you. Like that. That'd be fun. That was spooky and scary. That's so spooky. I don't know if I'd say spooky so much as disturbing. Not the kind of vamp I meant, Chris.

Okay, now everybody Wolfman. Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah. Okay, so my choice is... Hey, everybody, we're coming at you live. Performance or... With early Beach Boys. Guess what? It doesn't matter.

I just wasted everybody's gosh darn time. I suppose narratively you can choose. Narratively, I'm gonna... Gusto or with extra, like extra like this is just i know this is a good necklace i mean unfortunately the integrity that this character has she was gonna have to do deception because she knows that she might be lying so okay yeah okay that's a nine all right so as you plop the goblin your necklace yes right these guys who are behind the wagon uh gambling just kind of like literally squint their eyes at you and that's where we'll

stop the episode so uh sam what happened on episode 29 here's what happened this week i got my arm stuck under brian's dining room dresser. Everyone's working to deescalate the situation, and I think Blaine's going to kill a gnome. Envoy is a reference to the Christofferson movie Convoy. I think we're getting medicine or going to Wexhall. Ah, we're going to the Tenebrous one. We're going to try and disguise ourselves and stride past the teethings. I forgot what it's like when Brian tries to disguise himself.

Oh, hell yeah, There's a moon festival with humans. If this is like a carnival, I fear Terry may be here. We met Drelk. There's a lottery and a light show. The Archmage takes you somewhere magical. I'm really enjoying Gus and TikTok's relationship. There's a big humanoid statue and we're sneaking back into the woods
