Goodbye, Sweeties.
Welcome to the campaign after the campaign.
This is not another D&D podcast.
Welcome back to Bahumi, everybody.
Oh, here we are.
I'm your dungeon master, Brian Murphy, joined by Jake Herwitz.
Sir, call her Kill the Knight of Shiverblights.
Yes, my champion.
Then of course, Emily Axford.
Making a way to get back a egg in her Lily Pad-Barray
and her trusty vape.
Come on, you're petriest.
We're sticking with the vaping.
I see.
Don't forget about the vape.
That's a major thing.
I'm refused to consider it's dangerous in real life and in fantasy world, I just look
cool.
Can we investigate the vape to see what its magical properties are?
Yeah, totally.
Okay.
I'm going to do a roll roll quick before I introduce myself.
It's going to be a 12. Yeah, totally. Okay, I'm gonna do a roll roll quick. I'm gonna introduce myself.
It's gonna be 12. Saul, you look at this vape and you know that you should just say no.
If I crit, will you let me use it as an item that gives me plus one to my spell attacks and evades?
Plus one to your spell attacks?
If you get a nat 20 right now, sure.
16.
Oh, yeah.
From this angle, it looked like a 20.
I'm my heart jumped into my throat.
I'm gonna have to navigate the positive spin
of doing on vaping, by having it be good for you.
It's a boon, so interesting.
Thanks for not putting me in that position, I guess.
And then of course, we've got Koldoltaner.
Saul Bufo, and I'm back with yet another fun frog fact.
Did you know that there was a prehistoric frog named BL's a Bufo?
It has suggested Snaught vent length of up to 42.5 centimeters.
In later studies, animals of this species
estimated to have grown at least 23.2 snout to vent length.
B.L.s a Bufo.
Okay, I'm. I'm.
Yeah, I.
Yeah, also what is snout to vent?
snout to vent. It's the a nostril to the cloaca on a frog.
So they call the frogs ass event.
They called a vent.
No.
Well, we're going to incorporate that.
It's my vent.
Get vent. All right, everybody get vent. We're going to go that. It's my vent. Get vent.
Alright, everybody, get vent.
We're going to go ahead and do a little recap.
So last time you guys journeyed further into the living wood
after your brush with a dragon eel.
You heard the sounds of excavation,
but before you could head towards it,
you were apprehended by cold elves.
During a tense standoff,
you found
out that they had been kicked out of their lair by mercenaries and offered to help. They
agreed and brought you to their temporary forts to meet their leader, Princess Shiverblight.
The trust fund Dragon had recently taken over her parents' order and was clearly not doing a great job.
She seemed snobbish at first, but once called her pledge himself and offered to return
her to her lair, she offered you safe passage through the woods in exchange.
You're allowed to take that back, right?
Hmm, we'll see.
However, she demanded that foster be left behind as collateral so you couldn't just run off.
After a tearful goodbye with Foster, Duck Team headed off Duckless towards the old
Shiverblight Lair.
There you saw a camp of excavating mercenaries outfitted with armor suits and weapons.
You prepared to sneak up on them, but were discovered by a third party,
Elzor, a deep elf who was scouting the lair. You agreed to team up, and after a knockdown,
drag out fight with commandeered gatling guns, smights on giant robots, and several dragon potion drops,
you would eaked out a victory, eaked it out through your vents. Barely. Mm-hmm.
By the flap on our vents.
Oh.
By the skin of our vents.
You can't argue with science.
At the very end,
Callie brought Elzor's dragon,
Ignias, back from near death with a lay on hands,
and Elzor said they were in your debt,
and that's where we are.
Now, so you guys are outside the old And Elzor said they were in your debt, and that's where we are now.
So you guys are outside the old Shiverblight layer.
You see Elzor has just bowed before you.
They're looking very proper and sort of regal
as they're bowing, but they and Ignis
look extremely beat up.
Especially Ignis, you see her scales.
She's sort of this dull gray color,
so the blood really shows up on her.
You see it like caking out from under her scales.
This dark red blood.
You guys, it is a fucking wreck here.
There are dozens of dead mercenaries all around.
These dead like chainsaw nights hanging off the side,
where these like gatling guns are still smoking, having just
finished going off. Okay, before we go on, Elzor don't judge me too much for this. Are there
any, I remember you said that there were grenades, grenades, grenades. Yeah, I'd love to
scrounge up any leftover grenades. Totally. Because I used to play softball,
and I think I could pitch a fucking disaster.
You played softball.
Yeah, I was the pitcher.
Wow.
I was the ball.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh no, you were bullied.
Oh, deeply, yes.
Oh, me too.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Huh.
What do we hug?
Um, okay. I also hugged you. I'll hug, tell, what do we hug? Um, okay, I'll just walk you out.
I'll just walk you out.
Go ahead and give me an investigation check.
I'm gonna give, uh, Kelly.
No.
Whoa!
Do you still want guidance?
Ah, that was for the fake thing.
I think that what I do is I like sort of like I use like my divine sentence to tech magic and like hover into my
fave and load a smoke which reveals where every single grenade.
Oh just like you're vaping just like the deep elves that used to bully me.
I'm sorry but that looks awesome I absolutely have to try.
I pass it.
I puff puff pass. Call their freezes the vape on an email.
And ex-hills an icy, icy vape.
Wow, that's good.
You see, Elzor looks around nervously.
There could be young people listening to us.
Maybe we shouldn't be vaping so much.
That's actually a really good point
because you have reports, balls going.
So a lot of people could be listening to this that we don't know.ing so much. That is actually a really good point because you have reports, balls going. So a lot of people could be listening
to this that we don't know.
I know, smart.
Okay, ask your parents before you pay.
Just get their permission.
Kali, you look around.
I'm gonna say, I think there were about eight
of these heavily armored soldiers
in addition to the chainsaw nights.
Go ahead and roll four D4
and that'll be how many bombs you find on nights. Go ahead and roll 4d4, and that'll be how many like bombs you find on this.
Ten.
Sick. Yeah, you find...
I found ten bombs.
All right, we have to get those inside our duck.
Yeah, you guys find like ten of these little like tech bombs that essentially set off like a minor
fireball spell like after you click
it and throw it.
Our duck is going to be a land some nasty eggs.
I think I hold some out to Elzo and Iki.
Oh, I think we're okay.
These probably wouldn't go over great inside the cave.
Oh, right.
Structural damage.
Structural damage.
I'm actually costacave in the course, you actually, with that nat 20,
you investigate around and you see that,
there's a bunch of stuff here.
You see that there are these old hover bikes,
these beat up rusty magitec bikes.
Oh my goodness.
I absolutely get on one.
Yeah, so they're like Krugin's hover scooter
but made for navigating the woods or the mountains.
And there are four of them here.
I use this.
This part we only need one.
You see they look.
Yeah, are there pegs on the back seat?
There's pegs for one person.
We can test out one of the grenades,
I want these bikes to make sure they work.
I blow up a good, good, good, like a bike.
You are descended on by 50 dry.
I think I like I take it off of a huge jump
pull out the pin in the grenade and then throw it
as I backflip away.
I was a huge explosion, you blow up on of them.
That was incredible.
So sick.
I got the whole thing on my speaking stone.
But it was taking a selfie, but like you can watch my reaction and tell that I'm seeing
something insane.
I do see like the flames exploding in the reflection of your eyes.
Exactly.
So, Elzor goes, might be best for you to hide those and come back for them later.
I think that's going to very much make you a target if you're riding through the woods
on these.
Okay.
I turn to Saul.
How would you suggest we hide these?
Because you seem to be the best in south in this area.
Making things swampy.
Well, what I normally do is I just roll around in the mud until I look more like mud.
So maybe we could just like throw a bunch of mud on these
and then cover them in leaves.
Yeah.
Great.
I mean, there's,
were you looking for a more complex answer?
No, I just thought I'd be fun to ask.
You say that and Saul's already vanishing.
Yeah, there's a ton of mud and brush and everything
so you can like kind of hide these over to the side.
And you also find,
you look around on these guys,
the chainsaw blades look like they could be detached,
but they might need to be repaired
because they're kind of attached to these little mech suits.
They've got these little bolt guns,
but those look a little harder to take
because they're just kind of like part of the gauntlet there.
Does the chainsaw seem like something
that I could water dance with?
Could I be dexterous with it?
Could you be dexterous with it?
I think you'd need somebody to maybe work on it to like a blacksmith or something
or like a tech mage to help you work on that.
I love the idea of a fincers chainsaw.
It is a chain, so yeah.
Fincers chain soft. It is a chain.
So yeah.
Oh.
And you guys also see, these guys were loading
the treasure from the layer.
You look up and you see these steps leading up to this hole,
this cave mouth in the cliff face,
with like icicles sticking out and stuff.
You see that they were bringing the treasure out
and they were putting it in like a giant foot compartment
Of the war forged Titan
And you see that it is open and a bunch of stuff has
Spilled out and you see amongst it. There's like a little
Tied up bundle of of papers
Okay, old Callie is screaming that they're not going to know
what wasn't already taken so we can kind of have a pick
if we wanted.
Yes, let's go for the toe.
Yeah, I like old Callie's idea.
So let's a couple of some of the jewels that fell off the toe.
Yeah, no one's going to miss that.
Yeah, you guys go over and you see these things that are falling out of the boot some gold and silver and things like that
I'm like sacks of it if you take too much you think it's likely that
She'll notice you have to do a little bit of a deception check. However
A lot of the stuff you're seeing does not look like this is like some like ancient
Shiver blight stuff. It's not like you're stealing artifacts
from like somebody or something.
It's like literally this is stuff that she stole.
It's stuff that, yeah.
Second hand stealing.
Second hand stealing, yeah.
This bag is just full of her old speaking stones.
Can we inspect the papers?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Calder puts on some really thick glasses.
Holy shit, Dork.
And like in the winter, when you breathe out, it fogs them.
Elzor, come on, I'm sorry.
It's so easy to just, you get bullied and then it makes you want it.
Let's find out.
Yeah, I have a stigmatism.
I'm so sorry.
You know what, it's fine, Elzor.
It sounds more, it sounds worse than it is. You guys look through these papers and you see that there are bounties on various magic
items and people.
There are a ton of dragon hordes both big and small throughout the living wood.
You've got, you know, Princess Shiverblade, you get the feeling that she's kind of small potatoes. There's bigger dragons and lesser dragons and they all kind of
have their own collections. I'll say with the Nat20 investigation check, you see that
they have sort of at the forefront in this like pack of bounties is stuff that would be
found in the Shiverblade Horde. You find something called the Col dain tier, which
is this huge blue diamond. And you've probably even heard of this call there that was once
gifted to the royal family of Frostwind, which is the sort of the main Frostorf city in
the frigid north. This thing is worth a million gold. There is a million gold bounty on finding
this thing.
Would you have to turn it into?
You have to turn it into the Coldaine family of Frostwin. This is like a ver- this one,
this piece of paper is like buttoned up. Looks like it's been sent out to like a million
different people like if anybody can find this, this is how much this is worth.
May I study the Cold dainty here?
Like see if it's some sort of magical artifact,
if there's like some sort of thing going on with it,
like magic is made from something.
I'll say Callie, give me a history check,
and I'll say Calder can give me one too,
because he's, uh, or Callie can even help Calder.
Oh, if I rolled really well, I'm already.
Should I just... Yeah, you just do your thing.
Calder clears his throat to explain to Cali what it is. Okay, so with my 18-eye jog Calder's memory.
Oh right. Calder, you remember this as just being sort of this legendary wedding gift to the royal family
of the coldanes during a royal wedding, a couple generations back.
This is not magical.
This is just a huge fucking diamond.
This is just a big fucking expensive thing that is worth a million gold.
You also see something that is worth less, but not worthless, but worth less than a million gold. Cool. Okay. You also see something that is worth less,
but not worthless, but worth less than a million gold.
This is another thing from the Frigid North.
So it's maybe something that's before
the King and Queen Shiver Blight moved permanently
to the Frigid North.
They were going there.
They were taking items that they liked.
They were bringing them back.
There's something called the helm of Ultras.
Called, they're going to be another history check.
20, one.
Okay, you definitely know about this one.
You see in the image, the helm kind of looks like yours.
It's like this big bucket helm,
like this full helm with like moose antlers off the side.
Like this giant fucking helm.
And Ultras was a famous giant in Bohumian history.
He was a frost giant who led the giants
to war against the smaller humanoids,
was said to have like made a deal with a god for more power
or for maybe even immortality,
to lead the giants on a relentless war
against the humanoids and against the dwarves of Frostwind.
But he famously lost that war,
and now all these years later, the dwarves
and the Frost giants are allies.
Sort of allies of convenience.
It's not like there's a ton of giants
and dwarves living together in frost wind.
Right, right.
But there is a reward for this for 20,000 gold.
And this one is less official.
This one looks like it was somebody who wants it
because it's a powerful item
or this is for some kind of like black market.
And I'll say, Kali, you find a bounty matching the egg that you brought that was getting bigger.
But you see the descriptor here is just that it's a dragon egg.
And it's only got a reward for 15,000 gold, which is about what somebody would pay for a regular dragon egg.
Okay, I show it to everyone, I'm like,
this is the egg, this is it, this is what I fucking gave
to Glenn.
Oh.
I don't know if it's gonna be hatched or what
by the time that we see it, but just remember this egg.
Just out of curiosity, is it like just a plain egg
or are there markings on it?
There's markings on it, it looks like scales.
Oh, so it's kind of like a, okay,
so it looks like a scale.
It looks like a dragon egg, okay.
Yeah, a dragon egg, but it's getting bigger,
which is the weird thing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Deep. Interesting. So they're trying to get their thing back for a deal.
Yeah, is that who I was supposed to trade it to? That is who you're supposed to trade it to.
And as you continue reading through it, you see that there is a physical descriptor of you
having last been seen with it. I'm fleeing towards... Hold it, don't let me read this.
Don't let me read how other people describe me.
Okay, well, the upshot is that you're apparently worth
the 15,000 gold now.
Fuck yeah.
That is an upgrade.
That's a big upgrade.
Yeah, right.
It was a before 50.
All right, I read what they say about me.
Go ahead and give me an insight, Jack Kelly.
13.
You notice that the descriptor of you doesn't have your real name in it.
Has a fake name that you would have used.
Like, I don't know if you have one off the top of your head, but a fake name that you
would have used as a career working for your family.
I think you'll be like, Mave...
Hey Penny. You see, Mave Hey, Mave... Hey Penny.
You see, Mave Hey Penny was Mave Hey Penny.
Oh, no, Kelly, this isn't about you at all.
And go ahead and give me a performance check.
Performance check.
Or just a persuasion check.
If it's performance, it's 23, if it's persuasion, it's 25.
Okay. So 23 is kind of the charisma that you were giving off as all of this happened. If it's performance, it's 23, if it's persuasion, it's 25.
So 23 is kind of the charisma that you were giving off as all this happened.
So all of the descriptors are like, ran off lightly to the north.
Where has Maeve been hiding this all time?
It's kind of like an alter ego, and sometimes feel like your alter ego
is like better than you.
Yeah, sometimes I would put on like a fake mustache
and I would try to like go to the other campuses
on school and just see if I could like hang out with people.
And it didn't work very well.
It was a very obvious frog's can't grow a mustache
and so it was a very obvious ploy.
Did you give yourself a fake name?
Yeah, I did.
It was Trent Bint.
Trent Bint.
Trent Bint.
Very fake, man.
Yeah, I switched the two letters of my first and last name.
So it's still called Erkyl Day.
Oh, that's bad.
The callers with a K.
Yeah, wow.
I made a penny.
Trent Bint and called to kill me.
I'm the K.
Just remember these in case we need them again.
So something that you kind of clock Callie
with that insight check is that your sister,
when she was looking for you,
it seemed very much like she was fucking with you.
Like she was putting out these bounties
that were like 10, 15 gold or whatever
with like your name on it and stuff
that was getting you like,
hassled a little bit in Ezri.
But in this serious moment,
when these like dangerous bronze beards
are looking for you,
it looks like she didn't give up your name
or pretended that Maeve,
Hey Penny, was your real self.
Only fuck, you bitch, you fucking stood up for me.
I crumpled it, but hang on to it.
I have that kind of relationship with my brothers too.
Yeah.
See, Elzor leans in.
What's the deal with the egg?
I kind of fucked up, and I gave this egg to the green elves, the order of the Emerald Scale.
Oh, oh yeah those guys are nasty.
Have you noticed them having like a new creature about or anything?
I know that they're like very much trying to make a name for themselves but I feel like
if the egg is hatched, then it's going to be
pretty noticeable. I will say that us as the debilves being like a thousand feet underground, most of the
time, not super up on all of the politics, but I do know that royal edits and stuff, things that we
get sent to the castle under the mountain, They're often coming from the greens and the blues
So they've gotten in really comfortably with the most powerful faction
So there's a little swagger to the greens now. Yeah, I would say they're swagger to the greens now
I also I'm just gonna give it to you straight. We came here to steal that egg back
Okay Give it to you straight, we came here to steal that egg back. Okay.
Yeah.
I mean, we did pretty good here.
So like, how are they tougher than these like,
chain sawed dwarves or what?
Yeah.
Okay.
All right, good to know.
Yeah, I mean, the blue, the blue dragon elves run everything,
like a few miles south of here, I see.
So that's a powerful alliance.
Yeah.
So we have like a pretty good chance though.
Hells or just stairs are you?
Hard to read your face without a writer.
I just ignore Elzor and I go straight to Ignis
and I'm like, we have, I mean, you think we have a good chance,
right?
Eggs.
No, eggs.
No, sorry.
I didn't hear you.
Yeah.
Okay, well maybe not us, but what about Trent Ben? No, eggs. No, sorry. I can hear you. Yeah. Okay.
Well, maybe not us, but what about Trent Ben?
And Dave, hey, Betty, and the fraud with the mustache.
The fraud with the mustache.
The mustache, your fraud.
I have the love.
I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.
I need you to start growing one now.
So I'll get some mud and put it on his face.
Damn, if anyone can pull up.
Oh, it's good.
Ah, if anyone want to hang out and not bully me, you shouldn't be able to pull work.
Shook facial hair that well.
I think you're beautiful from.
Solse them how curls the mud mustache.
Wow, disgusting.
Can we can we visit the hoard? Yeah. Yeah, disgusting. Can we visit the horde?
Yeah.
Yeah, come here inside.
Sweet, yeah, you guys climb the stairs and enter the
Shiverblight Lair.
You see, long icicles drip from the cave ceiling.
There's a long tunnel that leads deeper in the mountain
here.
And as you travel, the frost covered cave wall begins to give way to pure ice.
And behind the ice, there are hundreds of magic items and glittering gems and coins that
give off like the magic items specifically are giving giving off auras that light the cave
with a dull blue glow,
and reflect off the natural crystals and geodes.
Wow, I feel like I just have a feeling
that Princess Sheva Blight is gonna stiff us
on any kind of like reward.
Yeah, I think she is.
Also, Kolda, are we going back to Sheva Blight
and saying like, hey,
are we going back being like cold to dark?
Number two, the Zalaiwai.
I still got the boot.
I will think I'm going to channel my Maeve Hey Penny
and like really go in big.
Yeah, do it lively.
Hey.
Backflip into camp.
It's weird how much the wanted poster focused
on how hot you looked right away.
Yet it did.
Maeve Hey Benny was kind of like she was cursed.
Why how beautiful she was because she was actually really smart too and no one ever noticed
because she was so beautiful.
Because she was so hot.
Wow, she's so hot.
She's so frugal.
That's awesome.
I hope that Maeve Hey Benny goes to my funeral.
I hope Trent Bent does the eulogy.
He'd be an honor. So as you guys continue, you guys see the cave floor
also gives way to ice.
And underneath your feet, you see even more treasure
down here.
And again, a lot of the stuff is stolen.
In fact, at one point, Elzor looks down and goes like,
so what am I hooks?
So what am I fricking hooks?
I'm going to go down and just like, is that one of my hooks? Is that one of my freaking hooks? I'm, it goes down and just started
to be shipping away at the ice.
This is, I fucking lost that.
It fell off one of the chains.
That's, it pulls up one of their weapons.
Are there hooks one handed?
Yes, I've got one handed weapon.
I've got one in each hand.
That's kind of sick.
That is sick, yeah.
Do you have any more where you came from?
Yes, if, uh, if you wanted to visit us at our Lair, I could show you some cool hooks.
Cool, thanks.
Great.
Great.
Wow, if you're going to do hooks, can I have the chainsaw blade?
I haven't decided yet.
I'm just kidding.
Take the chainsaw.
There was also a lot of them.
Great, all right, cool.
Yeah, I don't really use weapons,
but if you have some feet warmers or something like that,
I'd take those.
Do feet warmers?
Yeah, you know those socks that don't have bottoms?
Oh, leg warmers, calf warmers.
We're talking about you don't want to do the wrong thing
with bullying, we'll just bully someone down the room.
But it's all tried.
Trent, Ben, you're just making it so hard.
Trent, that's a kind of a skindersen ask.
You have a third name.
Take your skinders away.
Say, we learn from the best.
What was mine?
Glitter for Skydays.
Glitter for Skydays.
Glitter for Skydays.
What was yours?
Oh, Doug.
Doug divergent.
Doug divergent.
Doug divergent.
Doug divergent.
Doug divergent. Doug divergent. Doug divergent. Doug divergent. Doug divergent. And then your other one is your real name, but just spelling it differently.
Yeah, so you just have to spell your name out loud to people that you meet and just hope that exactly.
I'm just realizing my name should have been Trent vent, that would have been better.
Because your butt, very clever, tall, takes a huge vape.
A little vent vent.
I am a bit bent.
Why did you put it on your fence?
That's just trend.
That's just trend.
Vapes, that was ass.
Sky rules.
You guys see, as you guys go in, it kind of opens up and they're all, are all these different
rooms and stuff.
And there's like furniture, bookcases, a lot of stuff built of ice and stone.
And you see like bookcases stuffed with like tombs and stuff.
This is clearly the like the cold elves stuff.
There's like stuff for humanoids to live here.
You see that there are rooms with like weapon racks and whatnot.
These look like probably armories for the cold elves that they never got to use in this fight
because they've fled so quickly.
You see there's also like places to meditate and rest.
You know that elves don't need to sleep.
So it's like places for them to like comfortably
um, that's small, meditate for the night.
Small rest doesn't sound bad.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Make a nice frosty nest.
Meditate for four hours. Yeah. Yeah. It's just like a nice frosty nest. Metatate for four hours.
Yeah, just a high woodpeel.
Great.
Tiny little rest.
Shorter, shorter, shorter rest.
Yeah, you guys can take a little short rest.
Okay.
But maybe let's finish going through the horde first.
Sweet.
Oh, just to make sure there's nothing like dormant.
That's gonna be so sleepy, but let's, yeah.
So sleepy, but let's go to the room.
Yeah, you guys see that there's a hallway
that looks like it's gonna lead into the main room,
and then there's another one that looks like,
maybe it's a room for like a messenger or something,
you just see like a lot of like,
parchment and papers about.
And you also see these big cages that are bent and fucked up
as if these little like,
draklings that Callie you would know are used
almost like Ravens. They're used to like for messages and stuff. It looks like they may have escaped
either while the mercenaries were here or before it. Maybe somebody freed them. Oh that's good.
I want to go through the papers and see what they were chatting about. Sweet. Oh that's
go through the papers and see what they were chatting about. Sweet.
Oh, that's fun.
Everybody give me an investigation check.
Yeah, I want to kind of like look,
even if I can like read the indentations
of like a on the paper below one.
Yeah.
Another Nat 20.
You got a Nat 20?
I got a Nat 20.
I got a Nat 20.
That is true in fit behavior.
Yeah.
I got a 22, but it's really,
I don't think natural on it looks good. Wow, that'll be natural.
Yeah, too.
Yeah, you guys go in and you're able to very quickly
make sense of this mess.
You see that the mercenaries must have been in here.
They've thrown some things around.
One thing you find that is very interesting.
You find a sealed note from the green dragon elves.
You see the emblem, the wax seal of the high prince Venomol
who is a Glenz dragon.
You also find letters from the blue dragon elves
to Princess Shiverblight.
And you find one that has like multiple copies of it,
like this was sent to multiple cold-elf outposts.
You see a note that says,
anyone who harbors or assists the Void Elves
is committing treason against the High King Dorotar.
Dorotar is the ancient Blue Dragon
who is the head of the blue dragon elves. It says
information regarding their raiding parties or the location of their lair will be looked upon
with favor by your majesty. Elzart. Yeah, who are the, where are the void elves? The void elves.
Well, they're called the void elves because no one knows exactly where their layer is.
They seem to appear out of nowhere as if appearing from the Void.
And a long time ago, they were the sole humanoid inhabitants of these woods. They were once called the Crick Elves.
What? What did they have against the Blue Elves?
You see, Elves are walks over and grabs this piece of paper. This seems very strange, describing the Void Elves having
raiding parties that would be against anything I've ever heard of them. We have many
Documents and stories from the Crick-Helves themselves. They've always been known as a very
helpful
hospitable people sort of driven into hiding by the
More aggressive orders. Yeah, I there was a couple of Crick-Helves books at launch pad It's one of the wettest tomes I've ever held. It's from their library. Yeah, I there was a couple of a Crick-Ealth books at launch pad. It's one of the
wettest tomes I've ever held. It's from their library. Yeah, they they were a
very interesting people. I didn't know that they became the Void Elves. Yes, they
were the mask of a black dragon and like I said, they're known to kind of appear
out of out of nowhere. How does one get in touch with a void elf?
If I knew I'd be interested, I'm kind of just a kid, I'm only 45.
You're only 45, you're a 45-year-old kid, you're making fun of me for having a stigmatism.
I'm so confused.
I'm so confused. I wonder if it's something that, I mean, if they're appearing around the forest, I wonder
if I could talk to some of the animals.
Yes, you could certainly speak to the animals.
They might have a beat on how they get around.
There's also deep elves.
My mother is 800 years old.
She'd probably know more things about the crickets.
Now I'm talking about a free adult. Okay, yeah, senior.
Yeah, well, I feel like we need to gather as much information as we can
because it seems like just to eke out a victory here,
we're going to need like maybe like two or three more folks on our side.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Yeah, so let's pick through the hoard.
Yeah, go get our duck and then go meet your mom.
You forgot about a nap, we're gonna do a nap as well
Quick nap. Can we use a not 20s on investigation for the hoard as well? Yeah, so I'll also say you guys also find this note
From the green dragon elves. What is this the note that was sealed? There was one that was sealed
You have no open that one. No, we should not open that one. We should not
They'd know if we broke the seal. Well, they could easily think
that the people stealing all their treasure and raiding their cave opened the seal. That's a good,
you know what, that's a healthy benefit of the doubt. While they're debating it, I've absolutely
already opened up the seal. Okay, here's what we'll do. Oh, crack the seal. The tiny is a little bit.
You crumbled it. Cali. I've ripped open that completely destroyed shred
of the envelope and I'm greedily reading up anything, seeing if it's in Glenfair's hand.
Cali, you are immediately hit by the smell of sandalwood. He touched this. Why are you
reading a curled up at a ball on the floor?
This, because my legs stop working.
All right, so get her a chair.
Number one.
Okay.
I'm just gonna huff this letter for like five hours.
Can I remember Maeve?
Remember Maeve?
Very good.
You hold the envelope.
Someone has to read it.
You see Elzor grabs the paper and reads it. And though it's
signed by the high-prints of Venomol, which was the green dragon that Glenn has pledged as allegiance to,
it looks like it was written by Glenn. Glenn's sort of the mouthpiece, like the humanoid mouthpiece.
And you see Elzor reads it and goes, your Majesty, it is a travesty that you cannot attend our summit. I understand that the
flight south would be too much strain on your royal wings. We will fill you in when next
we visit. Certain things cannot be put to paper.'
Venomol.
He's having a summit.
A summit.
A summit.
Dragon summit. Can I look through all these papers for any evidence of when the summit is?
I'll say with a nat 20.
So it was at an even thicker pair of glasses.
Everyone has their glasses on.
I take off my glasses.
I have sunglasses.
Elezors on all fours, their visors lighting up like different things that let them see through
walls and things like that looking for the papers. Yeah, with that nat 20, you find the earlier letter, like amongst a pile of other papers, you find like the broken seal of Venomol.
And you see that in two days from now, there is a summit of certain dragons all lower ranking, lots of titles like Duke and Prince, and
there's a lot of language like your discretion is appreciated.
There's a lot of language like trusted allies and things like that, and you see that as
Elzor looks at it, they go, it looks like the Greens are trying to maybe do something behind the High King's back.
I wonder, because we're here and we could send a message and pretend to be from Shiverblight,
is there anything that we could set up for ourselves?
Which High King are we talking about?
The High King of the Blues?
Of the Blues, there's only one High King.
Okay, alright, so there's a hierarchy amongst all of the clans.
The green dragon is the high prince phenomole.
So the green dragon is orchestrating a summit
of all of the dragons, but not the blue.
What is the Elzo?
What is the terrain like that them convening at?
You see, as they look at it, they go,
oh, well, that's just highly disrespectful they're meeting at
Laverix's old lair the order of the Rupi scale it's a green dragon but that's cold
yes that's sort of seen as a cursed place it's kind of the perfect place to have a secret meeting. Right.
Okay, I'm going to pocket the seal of Shibablai. Once we get a better idea of what we want
to do, we can send some sort of message. Yeah, but just don't try not to smell it as much
as you are right now. I literally have been curled up my lip
and just holding it so that I can only smell that.
I have an absolute one.
I think you're gonna pass that out.
In between each word, I kiss it.
I like your blood, but how it's happening?
Your ears are wiggling, it's strange.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Paul, I hate to say this,
but if we could convince Shiva Blyte to go to this summit,
she would probably need her trusted night
to be there with her.
Or her trusted night's shoe to accompany her.
I mean, I had the same thought,
but we're not going to get Shivaiverbly on our side, right?
I mean, if we start trouble down there, it's not what she's gonna have a back.
That's true.
So, I feel like let's just keep it up here.
Right.
Let's call it Plan D that we bring her to the cell.
Right.
Oh, D for dragging.
And just to be clear, dragging to you guys love Princess Shiverbly.
Just call them mostly. Yeah. So I'm pledged to her, but we're still yeah, we're not there yet
Yeah, but that's we support him because he's our friend. I made a mistake
So you guys go and investigate the horde
I'm you guys follow you guys see that there's like a glittering walkway to the hoard.
You see that there's like these red and blue gems like under the ice that make, you know,
like essentially a carpet going towards the hoard.
You see that there's this beautiful archway with like art carved into the ice.
And beyond it, you see the throne room. This huge cavern with prime treasure trapped behind the ice.
There are ice sculptures of various ice dragons
across the room and a huge bowl-shaped dragon throne
in the middle of the room.
It's like an indentation deep enough
that she could lay in there and look at her treasure
like an eye level. OK, I know where we're sleeping
However, you do see that this is where they were doing the bulk of their excavating
So like some of these ice sculptures just are missing like heads and shit these guys did not give a fuck. There are
giant fissures cracked in the ice here where they were pulling out all these
items and you do see these giant cold-dane blue diamond is deep deep deep in
the ice wall but is shining bright and blue and looks like is sort of the
prize of the horde as far as monetarily. Okay.
And I'll say give me a new investigation check
for other stuff.
Mm.
That's only a seven.
I was a three for Saul.
I'm just like at the diamond.
Yeah.
16.
For Kale.
With a 16, Kale, I'll say it's hard to recognize at first
because it doesn't look as cool in the ice. it looks like it was kind of like deactivated or something
But you see the full helm that is likely Ultrasus helm behind the ice
Wow, it's Ultrasus helm
What where Calder stand over there stand over there. I just want to see what it looks like with you kind of framing it
Hmm a stand in front of the helm.
Calder, as you stand in front of it, the helm begins to
radiate magic. And the rust on it begins to clear up and turn to shining steel. And then you see two
steel, and then you see two arcane moose antlers stick out from the hell. Oh, well, I didn't break it, did I?
No, I think you awakened it.
It's behind dice.
Behind dice, yeah.
Can I see if I can bunch through the ice?
Yeah, go ahead and give me an attack roll.
24.
24, yeah.
I mean, you take some time, you start cracking into the ice
and after a little bit, you're able to grab it
and call there as you touch it, go ahead and give me
an arcana check.
Okay.
I'm gonna give him guidance by putting his glasses on.
Okay.
Holy, it really close to my face.
21.
Powerful, dangerous magic.
Looks a little big for my head.
Can I use my divine sense on it to see, like, if it's,
because this story of like a deity working, I'm like wondering if it's see, like, if it's because this story of like a deity working, I'm like wondering
if it's like what kind of deity might have gifted this to all Tris?
Kali, with your divine sense, you sense an evil presence and go ahead and give me a history check. That is a fool.
Okay, not sure the specifics of the evil.
Okay, I have to go.
Let's give it a whirl.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hey, hey.
I mean, I'm not supposed to just put it on your head
and we know to be wary.
It's like with my vape.
Right.
It's exactly like the vape.
What could go wrong?
So I've been holding in a puff of vape smoke this entire time.
Just bent it out.
Pfft.
Pfft.
Call their, what's the helm just over his head?
Not quite touching the hair yet.
It looks like Callie.
Like, thoughts?
I give two left-else tricks.
What do you think?
Trints must dashes melted off because of all the sweat on Saul's face.
Are it for pairs of Utilins?
Can I prepare an action to like wrestle it off them?
Sure.
Yeah.
So I've got his got lets like right over the arcane antlers
ready to go.
Cool.
All right.
I dropped the helmet on my head.
You put the helmet on.
Call their go ahead and give me a constitution saving throw.
Okay. Yeah, it kind of fits actually.
Uh oh, that's a nine.
Nine. As Calder puts it on, you guys see, uh, there's a shock of blue energy through him.
And you hear a, like cracking in his bones and stuff as his body starts to reorient itself.
And you see his muscles begin to bulge.
Like it's as if he's doing a stretch or something.
You hear muscles popping and bones popping.
And you guys see eventually colder settles.
And he looks like he's standing a little taller and he doesn't look it's not anything
that looks completely unnatural or something but like his body's just bulging more it's just like
it's like he's got a pump from a workout and you see at the parts where he's wearing plate but you
see like around his neck dark blue veins as if he's like straining or something?
How are you feeling, buddy?
You look good, if I'm being honest.
Yeah, no, it feels, you have to stand a little more
rigidly to evenly distribute the weight
of the horns.
You should eat some potassium or something.
You look like you're getting some real bad cramps.
Call their, your charisma score raises by two, right off the bat.
This is a plus one to your AC.
As you kind of just have a more commanding presence and you could swear.
You hear a tiny voice in the back of your head go,
yes, I stand at all.
Yeah, I feel confident. What's that?
There's-
Scalder.
Yeah.
Oh, he's talking to.
Stantol.
Stantol, yeah, you are tall.
Yeah, and finally you were mid-air.
Wow.
Oh yeah, if I stand up straight, I guess.
With the helm.
Holy shit.
You just get like two feet.
Average, yeah. Wow.
There's all the slouch.
That's right.
Okay.
Um.
Well, he's a thing.
I mean, it's worth 20,000 gold, but is it worth more than that to you on your head?
Yeah, I mean it makes me feel awesome
I mean it makes you look like a million bucks. Okay. Yeah, I guess let's
Let's hang on to it, right? Can we really put a price on the glory of the giants? No, we cannot
What did you know we cannot what were you saying that to are you talking to a minute's head doing that?
Yeah, I don't think so sometimes we got to fall in terribly on let me check
Oh, Elsa are you using your
Report for somebody has been checking some yeah, I'm just here. Okay, cool.
No, I'm just happy to have them.
I feel like a good looking at everyone else.
Some treasure.
Right?
Great, I think nothing of this.
Can I take the little dagger that,
the like frosty dagger that called a gave me
and go after the diamond?
Oh, you see as you go to do that,
Elzor kind of cocks their head and goes,
that's going to be noticed.
Well, I would really be mad, Shiverblight.
She just abandoned her, her horrid because a couple guys with chainsaws walk through.
How tough is she really?
I mean, it's a good point.
Yeah, we could also table it. I
And all glory to the giants
Sorry, what I was just saying I was agreeing with somebody
Are you getting the voice in the helmet or is that a voice in the help? No, yeah, that's that's you
That's all you help is speaking to you? It's just quips and a sides.
General, like jokes or is jokes funny?
It's not funny, more interesting, not wordplay,
but more like kind of inspirational slogans.
And referencing a deep desire for me to do and be some certain way in a fun way.
Kaliope takes us all in and she says,
called,
I respect you.
Whatever you think is right and healthy for you, I trust you.
And then she walks away to go smell glens.
Oh, the permission structure in this game.
Yeah, just say the word.
We'll pry that thing off if we need to, but.
I'm good.
Yeah, I will give you my power if you would take it.
What power?
The power that you've inherited.
Cool.
Um, yeah, let me just run it by my friends.
Great news everyone.
The hell mass power that I can have.
It should be fine.
The only thing I would say is I remember with Glenn, I thought he was giving me power,
but it was an illusion he was actually taking.
I see.
Who needs who?
I need to think about it for a second, I try to take the helmet off.
Stay stuck to your head.
Okay.
I'm just going to...
Um...
It's...
I think it's a little snug. I thought it was gonna be big, but
it's snug. I will return to the frigid north and I will take Frostwind. Yeah, I'm totally will take
frost. I don't want to. All right, now. All right, I've heard enough. Soul's gonna try and rinse it
off as well. Uh, what is your strength score? My uh-oh, my strength score is 12. So plus one?
Yeah.
You take one damage call to her as a thanks.
And your game pops.
I actually...
Oh!
Sometimes that feels good.
Yeah, well.
Sometimes it goes the wrong way.
Well, you're taller now, I guess.
You and I are one.
I, okay.
You guys can't hear what the hell I'm into saying.
Not at all.
No, so just...
No. All right, cool.
I am totally down, just need to,
I need to lay my head for a minute,
so I'm gonna take the helm off.
Colder is gonna try to remove it.
What's your strength score?
20.
So plus five.
Yeah.
You do five damage to yourself
as you try to wrench this thing off your head.
I think. Can I try to wrench this thing off your head. I think...
Can I try to wiggle it off?
Uh, Cali with your trankscore.
Uh, I don't have good strength. I was trying to use like dexterity.
Okay, put your dexterity score.
Well, actually, I don't want it.
You see, Elzor holds her hand up and goes,
I think this thing is cursed. You'll need to remove the curse.
Okay. Thank you. How?
Why'd you put it on your head?
Yes.
I was trying it on. It was a walk.
It was like Taylor made for you.
It spoke to me.
Yeah.
It was like an upgrade of my last help.
I am still speaking to you.
I'm, well I'm having a new habit.
You had it ten minutes.
Yeah.
When that's to give it a little longer.
Yeah. First of all, I'm having a new habit, 10 minutes. One that's give it a little longer. Yeah, I'm, first of all, I'm having another conversation outside my head.
And I feel like it's a little rude to be interrupted.
Holda, I think you should let the helm know that the helm is now pledged to Princess Shivablai.
Okay, yeah, you know what?
We're a team. I love it.
You and I are, uh, we're pledged to, uh, the Shivablai light princess. Well before I was just in the her wall
So that's fine. So Kelly you seem to like it
He's fine with it. I'm not loving you. Yeah, so he's basically at peace with it not unlike me
But just tell your helm that we don't like what he's doing to you and just like just
to cool it, honestly.
Maybe just like take it down a notch and like, you know what, we're a team, we're a party.
If you like have something to say, you can say to all of us.
Yep, let me ask you something.
First of all, I'm trying to talk to you and I'm telling you to cool it.
Okay, so I can always cool them before I was trying.
That's okay, it'd be funny now.
That's okay, you can show. It is, yeah before I was trying. Wow, that's okay. It'd be funny now. That was good.
That was good.
It is.
Yeah, that was good.
Because I told them to cool it.
Instead, I'm always cool on my cross-chime.
That's very good.
You are not done like me.
Oh, well, how so?
You've traveled far from the frigid north, no?
Yes.
You would like to prove yourself.
Okay.
Do it for two. Yes
You are in the dangerous situation and you will be in more dangerous situations
Correct, okay, yeah guys. I was making a little bit of sense
So perhaps we can help each other. What's your name?
Ultras Ultras, okay
Guys, I'm talking to Ultras.
Okay.
Okay.
Um, can you say hello from Kaleiope?
Kalei's is I, uh, and Trent.
Trent says hello.
Trent the vent.
Trent the vent.
The very same.
Actually, I want to say it from Maeve.
Oh, sorry.
My other friend's name is Kalei. Okay. Maeve says I say it from Maeve. Oh, sorry. My other friend's name is Kelly.
Okay.
Maeve says, I, I, Maeve.
Call there.
We've been in situations before where we've been offered power.
And you, and I both know, we all know that when you have that power,
there are strings attached.
So just, if we can use this, let's use it, but be careful. Yeah, I do really want this relic of the giants behind an ice wall in the Princess
Shiva Blight's there. Take me home if nothing else. I will take you home if you will.
If you'll go off my head, I'll carry you to the frigid north. I have a I've a pitch.
If you'll go off my head, I'll carry you to the frigid north. I have a- I have a pitch.
Oh, okay.
Tell it that you're not going to be able to get it to the frigid north
if you're wearing it on your head, because it's- there's a bounty.
So if it wants the smoothest passage to the frigid north,
it needs to get off your head.
Yeah, that's right, my friend.
Frankly, I can't even walk through doors right now.
So you're going to-
That's the mousetlers can go away. They're just magic.
Alright, still. I think it's gonna be weird if I'm always wearing a helmet.
People are gonna get suspicious.
Hmm.
We'll see if it comes out. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha this for a bit. It's not. Okay. Is there anything else we want to do? Well, all of them sit down.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm at 7HP from Triad Island.
Okay.
Yeah, I guess like we're not doing anything with this diamond.
I guess that's not an avenue.
Yeah, I think I'll, I'm gonna try and take like a few.
You guys can, you guys can do whatever you want.
Just a deception check against the princess.
It's, for instance,
Ultras' helm looked like a rusty shitty helm
from beyond the wall.
This is a giant blue diamond,
so it's just gonna be harder, right?
This episode of NADPOT has brought to you by Bird Dogs.
They're a company that makes pants and shorts,
so no matter where you fall
in the age-old battle between the two, you can rest assured that Bird Dogs has you covered.
Now we all know when the legwear war begins and we're forced to choose a side, it's
gonna be difficult.
Luckily Bird Dogs has made the decision of which pants and shorts to buy a little easier.
Bird Dogs stretchy khakis are designed to fit slimmer through the thigh and leg to give
you a truly sculpted look.
And instead of making their clothes out of restricting cotton, bird dogs invented a cloud
knit fabric that looks just like khaki, but stretches so you get a way slimmer fit without
having to sacrifice movement.
And trust me, you are going to need all the movement you can get when you and your brothers
and legs are out there on the battlefield kicking the shit out of your rivals.
So when the lower body battle begins and brother is forced to kick brother make sure you are
wearing bird dogs.
To get yours and a free Yeti style tumbler go to birddogs.com slash pop-off or enter promo

That's birddogs.com slash pop-off or promo code pop-off for a free Yeti style Tumblr.
You won't want to take your bird dogs off.
We promise you.
Okay, that's it for me.
Go team pants and enjoy the show.
As much as a million gold would be nice, I feel like we've got a lot going on as it is.
Our place getting pretty full without the heat from a, you know, a faction of dragons
after us.
Alright, okay, so let's leave it in the ice.
Yeah, I'm going to find a nice corner and just really fucking trans out as long as I can.
I could song briefly.
Cool.
Wow, Cal, you're using that letter as a blanket
Actually more than that
So goes to another room
Ultras can you please stop breathing so loud I'm trying to rest
I'm sleeping as well
You have to do it so noisily. Oh, yeah actually saw it's gonna sleep with his hands on the helmet just a
Just to be watchful
Three it don't pull it do not pull it
Okay, if you guys are gonna take four hours. I think Elzor goes I
Should probably get Agnius back. She's pretty injured. Oh, right. Can you can you tell us how to find you again?
Once we once we leave the Princess Shepherd Blight, because we would love to meet your mother.
They describe to you where to get to the cave mouth
that you can drop down into, to get to the deep elves,
and it is at the top of this cliff,
and a couple of miles down.
Okay, I memorized that location.
You see, as Elzor walks away, they bow and they go, thank you again. Be careful. I wouldn't be surprised if the cold elves checked up on you.
If they want to see how their prize night is doing, Elzor exits.
I mean, yeah, they're going to check on us, but I mean, they'll show up and we'll be like, yeah, we're resting because we got super fucked up.
Here's all your shit.
Right, we didn't take anything.
Yeah, we should maybe put a hat on Calder's hat.
Yeah.
I have a unit like a bean, you know,
that things all.
Well, I was gonna give this to you for your birthday,
but here it is.
This is the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me.
And also, it's reversible.
It says, okay, on this side and see on this side,
depending on which calder you want to be.
Oh, no, Trent, it's all too much.
Yeah, and I guess like, I'll do like a little co-sleeping thing
as I watch calder just to make sure that nothing happens.
So you guys are going to do four hours.
So essentially, short rest for the two of you guys,
and then I'll call you the Aladdin,
we'll get her stuff back.
Go ahead and give me a luck check for each hour.
We'll say that it'll get a little heart.
So first hour, just don't roll the one or a two.
Got it.
Go.
No, go for it.
No, absolutely not.
It looked like a one, but it's a seven. no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no two, a three, or a four. That's another not 20. Oh, you gotta give me that, but you gotta give me that extra
hour.
I'll give you the full hour.
Yeah, I'll give you the full hour.
Woo!
You finished meditating?
It is so funny to crit this much out of combat as a palleted.
Oh my god.
It's insane, because I just keep being like, God damn, where were you?
You had a divine knight.
Oh, sleep.
Essentially.
I'll say you guys can kind of assume that Shiver Play is barking and where were you? You had a divine knight. Oh, sleep. Essentially. A divine knight is good.
I'll say you guys can kind of assume
that Shiver Play is barking at her followers too much
to like get the fort set up that they're not even
checking on the layer.
Yeah.
She's basically just like glamping
and everyone's setting up her day.
Yeah, everyone has to set up her tent
for glamping essentially.
So the four hours passed without anybody coming back, you get all your stuff back, caulder and Saul, you guys
get a short rest in. I'm not a really did the trick, huh? I fell into a deep slumber
and gerumptive glen. And caulder, you feel like the presence has diminished a little bit
in your helm. Like it is, feels like you're alone.
And you were, you felt like we were being watched before.
Okay.
I'm just gonna creep around on my feet all the time
so as not to wake, ultras up.
Yeah.
Oh, first off, we had said that as you guys went through
the giant boot of the War of Forge Titan
that you guys would be able to easily skim some gems
and coins, probably without alerting her.
Go ahead and roll me 2D6 times a thousand.
Woo!
8,000.
8,000 gold worth of,
woo!
You guys must have picked all right.
Six thousand.
Oh, wait, that's the one.
That's the one.
Great, well, thank God.
Ha ha ha.
No, we can change it.
Sweet, how would you guys like to proceed?
Before we leave, can I try an experiment?
Sure.
I want to try to cast protection from evil and good on cold air.
Sweet.
Oh, nice.
Because of this helm.
Okay.
And it says, the protection grant several benefits, creatures of those types, which are aberration, celestial, elemental, faith, fiends, and it says the protection grant several benefits creatures of those types which are aberration
Celestial's elementals, fey fiends and undead have disadvantage on attack rolls against the target
The target can't be charmed frightened or possessed by them
Sweet if the target is already charmed frightened or possessed by such a creature the target has advantage on any new saving throw against the relevant
Effect sick. You want me to try sit down today? advantage on any new saving throw against the relevant effect. Sick.
Do you want me to try sit down, should I?
Maybe it will help you get it off, or?
Yeah, okay.
Sweet.
She casts protection from good and evil on you.
Go ahead and give me a constitution saving throw with advantage.
15.
15.
You feel a surge of power as the spirit wakes back up as you go to pull it off, but this
protection from good and evil spell allows you to fully remove it from your head, and you
feel like sweat and matted down.
You've had this thing on for a long time, but as soon as you pull this thing off, you feel
sick.
And you guys see, Calder starts to kind of deflate.
He looks like he hasn't eaten in a few days.
I'm in a yard.
I think I had a bad night sleep.
Don't, because you're in the helm.
You're starting to start driving.
Oh, okay.
I can't.
Okay, you can put it back on if you want.
I just thought I would try.
It was just an experiment.
If you like the helm, keep the helm.
I think the helm was bossing me around a little bit.
Let's put it back in the ice. Okay. Yeah bit. Let's put it back in the ice.
Okay.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
We put it back in the ice, no, we have to ring it.
Okay, wait.
It's like for ginors.
Yeah, yeah, we can.
But maybe this way, we can stow it so that it won't be obvious that we've stolen from
that.
Yeah, okay, let's bring it with us and let's not ever let me wear it again.
Right.
Okay.
Okay, sweet.
Calder, you feel physically ill
having this thing in your pack.
And you guys travel away from the Shiver Blight layer.
How do you guys want to approach the Shiver Blight for?
Okay, well first of all,
we should probably put some water on our eyes
to make it look like we're really sad
and we've been crying a lot.
Yeah, I'll approach it with one shoe on.
Yeah, I um, wait, I thought we were going to pretend like you were dead.
Yeah, I'm, so I'm approaching with one shoe on and then I sort of veer off.
You guys are going to bring her. Go yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. So I create a rainstorm of sadness around us.
Okay, great. Uh, so I'll just rub a bunch of dirt in his eyes. Uh, to irritate them and make it look
like it's been crying really hard
And then he takes more dirt and covers colder in it so that colder looks like a big wet stone
So let's just go back and forth trading blows
So we really mess up our own okay, right because we we got that like really nice rest in and a lot of my wounds healed
Yeah, so we create some new wounds
Yeah, so you guys look sufficiently fucked up.
You guys don't have to fake it, that archaic one.
Yeah.
We fake it way too hard.
Oh my god, my tooth.
It came out so easy.
So, because you broke my nose, it's fucking crooked now.
And I'm about to say fucking Glenn.
Break it up.
Break it back.
Break it back.
All right, I'll break it in the other way.
Oh no!
Oh no!
Call, call, call, do you vomit?
I'm gonna fucking UK again.
Okay, okay, okay.
Alright, we got this.
I grabbed Saul's hand and I squeezed it like we're backstage before a high school theater
for tournaments.
I don't know if you know this but I'm'm pretty bad at lying, so you lead the way.
Why don't you put on your mustache and it's not you lying, it's Trent vent.
Trent the vent, Bint, gotcha.
Okay.
We make the hugeest display as we go in.
Calder, you wait outside, you're high.
Where you guys go, don't be like he loved you or anything.
I'm a protest terrible news, my lady.
That heavens curse the earth is day.
A dark spot, a star has been stolen.
Call their hides in the bushes nearby.
Try not to make it a really big thing.
We got here is one that snowflake falling from the yonder heavens.
You guys go back to the fort.
Oh, that the moon was jealous.
And he'd called home its son.
We're going to do a deception check with disadvantage in two seconds.
If you don't let me spit this out.
So you guys go back to the fort.
You see there are cold elves still hard at work.
You're building this fort, even though they've sent you out
to recapture the lair.
Obviously, several of the scouts nearby,
in the nearby ruse, like point their bows at you
as you approach, but they quickly relent
as they realize who you are.
You could take nothing more from me.
What?
What?
Do you want me to fucking, okay, I'll shoot you.
We were victorious, I'll shoot you?
We were, we were victorious, but I, what?
Cost and I vomit up.
I pretend to like hold it behind my,
buy my head.
Keep it together.
Okay.
The L's like completely disgusted and called her shoe.
You would eat me.
She just vomited a shoe.
What the hell is the matter with this girl?
See, they opened the gates for you guys.
I whisper to Saul.
It was just a trick.
It was a trick.
I held it behind my head.
Did she go, I'm not bad.
She's not bad.
Is it real?
Okay. I do another theater kid dance queen.
Theater kid dance queen.
Theater kid dance queen.
You guys see, as you get into this fort,
it looks like they're preparing the princess's dinner.
They're bringing, there's a bunch of like cold elves
scrambling, bringing goats and other animals
to the Shiva blood horde.
And you just hear her as she's basically using
like frozen breath on these goats, freezing them,
and then biting into them with loud crunches,
and just in between by just going like,
you guys couldn't find freaking bigger goats.
What is there not enough grass?
We're in the woods.
I'll tell you the biggest goat, and that's called a kill day
I mean great is the whole time past tense for he has passed
Whoa whoa into us whoa I say you see
She drops her food out of her mouth. Oh my god, what?
It's colder. He's he's he's died
He's died. We've retrieved your layer from the grips of the iron devils
But we lost colder in the process. Oh that remains is this
Believeably messed up shoe
All that remains is this...
...beliefably messed up, Shoe.
As he lay dying in the snow.
He wanted you to know that he thought...
...you were really cool and important.
And he likes you a lot...
...as a person and a leader. There was just a fucking Shoe?
They fucking...
...killed him that hard?
Yeah.
They messed him up big time.
They incinerated him with grenades. They loaded him up big time. They incinerated him with grenades. They loaded
him up like a Thanksgiving day. They put the grenades in him and they made him blow up
and all that's left is a fucking shoe. Yes, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Who's what we're gonna do here? I would like to give a solid bar to conspiracy. I'm gonna give guidance to Kelly
Okay, okay, I look to give Emily a webby
Here's what we're gonna do I'm not gonna give you disadvantage because you guys are
Helping each other. Oh, so technically mechanically that's buttoned up. I have to at least let you row flat
Just one of you is just gonna to give me a flat roll,
and that's the advantage, that's disadvantage with advantage. That's fair. If I choose one of you,
is going to do a deception check against Princess Shiverblyte's insight.
I fall to my knees, the jagged ice of the earth cutting them up, but I don't even feel
it, because all I feel is the pain of the loss. And I get a 18 on the dice plus 8 becomes
a 26.
Oh, guys. Princess Shiverblight looks touched
She quite literally can't beat that with her insight
I'll say I'll roll just to see if she gets an at 20 Otherwise, she's not gonna get that she also rolled an 18 so thank God you rolled really good wow
Oh my god, you see
Her eyes well up and she goes
Then it's a fucking purek victory
That's what I was saying because I get all my stuff back but at the cost of one of my guys
Yeah, maybe
Probably your best guy without a doubt you see a bunch of the cold-tills nearby
Best guy without a doubt you see a bunch of the cold-tills nearby
Just so mad In fact guys go ahead and give me a perception checks and I'll say cold-try give me one as well. Oh, good
Dirty 20 that team 23 okay
Saul as you look around you clock that
none of the
Guys who captured you are here.
Like the scouts.
Like Gal-Card, Gal-Card, and Gal-Card and his crew
were not there.
But you see Princess Shiverblyte looks at you guys and goes,
okay, well, it is a sad day.
And yet it is a happy day because we get our layer back,
prepare my mobile horde. It is time for our March home. And you hear a bunch of the cold elves
grown. They roll out this big like chair ear thing with a bunch of gems in it.
And you see that foster is inside the mobile heart. My lady, please, the only
solace we could have is that duck. Yes, Brynn says the only thing that will chase the tears from my cheek is my duck.
Yes, please thank you.
You see Foster runs over to you guys and hops back up in your arms, Kelly.
Oh, Foster, I like bring him in and I'm like I was lying.
My whole day I've hit the mustache isn't real.
The mustache is hit by...
Did you have a mustache before?
I grew a mustache out of depression.
Wow, I...
I can't believe I believe everything you guys say.
Prince says, may I make one last request?
And of course, you can say no.
Yes, of course.
You can join me on a ride in your honor.
And when we get back to our lair, you may have a treat.
Oh.
As long as it's not too expensive.
Okay.
Yes, I will do that.
But I also wanted to say, would you build a statue in the form of your fallen paramove?
She claps her claws together.
Um, alright everybody let's get to it.
Let's start on the ice sculpting.
Um, and you see, just a bunch of dudes with like hammers and stuff just look up.
So are we, are we done with the fourth and yeah we're going home.
Where have you been?
You need us to describe what Calder looked like.
We're happy to do that.
Yeah, I know you met him only really briefly.
Right.
Yeah, he was like another little frog.
Yeah.
But didn't have a mustache.
Yeah, that's the thing about you.
Yeah.
Before, didn't have the mustache.
But you have like a brother?
Yeah, you got it.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a frog without a mustache.
Okay, let's go on my stuff.
And we just want it like, we'll keep you guys. We just want to make sure that like, you guys sit fucking take anything. Yeah, yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, the gold did called the devil. I'll give you guys that sweet.
So you guys called her.
You hear trumpets blaring as they pull this cheery out
with the brinza chiever blight on the back of it.
They got away with it.
It must have been really subtle and understated.
Yeah, salsing's a frog dirge. Yeah. Right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right that if you know all that's really just going for it. I keep huffing Glenn's sandalwood and smoke
between my cleavage and then crying without other things.
Disgusting.
Yeah, you see them right off.
And that perception check that you made before a call
there, as these guys are going off,
going off back towards the old lair,
you see out of the corner of your eye a group
of cold elves with these white masks talking to another small group, but you can't see them.
They're sort of like, um, it looks like there's a gathering, but all you can see is sort of the
heads of these masks. Oh, I, um, I don't have great stealth.
Can I get any closer without?
Yeah, I'll say that you can roll with advantage,
which means flat.
If you just are like getting your distance
and maybe you can like hear a few words here or there,
but you're not trying to like get like super, super close.
I'll take up my other shoe, so I'm not crunching any twigs.
Cool. Ha, ha twigs. Cool.
19.
They don't seem to notice you as you get a little bit closer.
You kind of quietly crunch along the leaves
of the forest here as you hide in the thick brush.
You see the crew that captured you guys.
You see Gell Card and you guys. You see Gal-Card and
a few of the others. Two of the guys that had like these big compound arcane bows that were on top of these drakes are there.
It seems like his whole kind of like scouting crew. And you see
they're talking to some dragon elves in black masks.
You hear Gal-Card go. We can't afford to send anyone to you tonight.
We're in the middle of a dispute with some mercenaries if you didn't hear.
And you hear the elf in the black mask go. How do you think we're going to topple the blues when
you can't even beat a few bounty hunters in rusty armor.
Galgard responds, not all of us have the luxury of competent leadership.
I can't argue with you there.
Get out of here before anyone sees you.
And tell Glenfear that I heard what he said about us.
If he wants unity, he'll keep his mouth shut.
You see, these dragon elves in black
head off into the woods and gal card and these other guys
kind of circle up and get ready to join the
little mini parade heading back towards the later.
The funeral procession.
This funeral procession.
I duck and I watch my funeral.
You see?
Can we get some more of that frog dirt?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
call their...
So the first time that I knew call their was in love with you
was when he first set eyes on you.
Yeah, when he first said I said yeah when he first
said eyes on you that's when I was like oh no East gone for good see the
thing that is so hard with me is that I'm so hot that people forget that I'm
smart actually actually know a lot what that's you know what that's oh my god
you do yeah I can tell that you do.
Because you're like hot and you're smart.
And like a lot of people may not see that.
And just so you guys know,
provided this little layer check goes well,
you guys have safe passage through the woods.
Get on the cloaks and the banners.
You see a few cold elves come around
and put on frankly like kind of embarrassing shimmering white cloaks around you guys
and they all
And she hands you a like banner pole with a flag on it that is a giant white flag with a blue S on it that kind of looks like a like Drake or a dragon. And she goes,
as long as you pass through the woods with this, no one will fuck with you because they know that I'll fuck with them.
That's awesome. Oh, I dropped it!
Stop the procession! the fucking funeral. I drop it under the wheel
Oh shoot, well, maybe you can just pass along my name
Okay, get her a new flag. Can't do a new banner
We can just ditch this absolutely
Grab you better yet we can sell it looks expensive
You guys grab your banner on your cloaks.
I will take the cloak though.
I definitely cuddle up in the cloak,
and I could get used to this.
Sweet, I give this cloak person,
really freaking nice cloak.
Yeah.
This is like Mae Hay Penny by A.P.
You guys get over to the way.
The nerf, yeah.
Yes.
And there are the dead mercenaries everywhere.
They're just gold and gems all over the place.
And you see Princess Shiverblight jumps out of the carriage
and goes like, oh my god, they fucking wrecked it.
Yeah.
It was like this when we got here. We tried to stop it. Just to be very clear, It was like this when we got here.
We tried to stop it.
Just to be very clear, it was like this when we were...
The merciless are dead when you got here.
Oh, they were alive.
I don't know, they were all alive.
Okay.
They're being so sloppy.
Okay, now cool with the dead mercenaries.
It's kind of cool to see them here, Dad.
Oh, you should have seen them.
They were like treasured.
There's a thing, they were juggling with it.
Oh my god.
They were pretending like it was like balls.
And here's the thing, is that some of them got away.
Do they touch my freaking diamond?
I don't know, I haven't been inside of any.
Ma'am, I didn't see, but I just know
and what I know about these mercenaries,
they probably put their vent on it.
I did see one mercenary got away
and he like had like an arm full of like some sparkly
something or other
I'm not like familiar with layers
Give me give me a deception check
16 plus 8 24. Oh my god. Why didn't you fucking kill him?
Because it was dead in my arms
And also my arms because he's very tall. They had already shoved all the grenades in him.
They made him fucking pop.
Yeah, because he's the thing is like,
when he exploded, his corpse lingered for like a little bit.
We had long enough to say goodbye
before we had to throw his body over a cliff
and watch it explode.
So that was what we had to do.
We had to decide, do we say?
Okay, so like some of the bombs went off
and just like blew a bunch of holes in his body,
but then there were like more bombs
that blew up later and turned him to like hash.
There was a lot of hybrid.
So sad.
Okay, I need to go into the fucking horde.
You see, she flies up and I'll say you guys can kind of
follow her and you just hear her going into different rooms
and you just keep hearing and echoing. Oh my god
Oh my god
Oh my god, they open my fucking letters. I'm mortified. Oh
That is so snoopy. I actually hate
Hacked snoops. I don't I do not suffer snoops. I fucking hate snoops. Okay
You can have your dog you can have a fucking treat.
Everyone's fucking cleaning up.
I, you see the cold hells go around and start cleaning up.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, you keep working on the ice sculpture.
Yeah, that's true.
Call to kill the paramil of preventive upon.
He was a frog without a mustache.
Yes, very tall frog.
Mustasteless frog.
You see, they start.
They cared so little about you guys
that they just assumed Saul was called her.
And they start making an ice sculpture of Saul.
And it's like pretty quick.
There's basically like an ice druid
that just makes a frog statue right outside of the mouth.
So I'll get to into it.
Yeah, called her. I'll say that you've
kind of like caught up and you just see them building a statue. And it says solder build day.
And it says in love. And Brin says shit.
Or what? I feel fine about this.
What do they mean by treat? Excuse me. One to one of the cold owls, I was told I could have a treat.
Oh my god, she's like, yeah, that means you can look in the horde and as long as it's not something crazy,
like the coldain diamond or something, you can have a piece from her from her horde.
Oh, great, alright.
I think anything too deep, because then we're gonna have to like freaking chip it out.
Okay, well I mean that ice sculpture guys pretty good with that. Oh, great. I think anything too deep, because then we're gonna have to like, freaking chip it out. Okay.
Well, I mean, that ice sculpture, guys,
pretty good with the axe.
I wanna look for like,
I see you doing the ice sculpture.
I wanna look for some kind of,
some kind of companion for the frosty dagger
that cold-degave me.
Ooh, Cali, go ahead and give me,
I'll say you guys can give me investigation
or perception checks with advantage.
Great. 11. go ahead and give me, I'll say you guys can give me investigation or perception checks with advantage.
Great.
11.
Can I do a, like an investigation check for foraging for like berries or something?
Yeah, go ahead and do a nature check.
22.
22, you look around, yeah, you find some berries.
I don't know, you think they're probably not poisonous.
You start eating them.
You feel pretty sick not having this helmet. Yeah, all right.
The rest of you guys, she's like,
oh my God, I'm so rude.
I've been crunching on frozen goats.
I didn't even consider that you guys might want some food.
I look at salt.
Yeah.
Doesn't have to be a frozen goat.
I recognize that like you guys might want
like cooked food or something.
Oh, yeah, that would be great.
We would love, I mean, we've already had this treat.
You would give us a treat on top of a treat?
I'd say we wouldn't mind trying the frozen goat.
She offers you some frozen goat.
Calder, you see from the outside,
cold delves start like bringing in a meals
from the four to a cally and salt.
Do you have any frozen spaghetti?
Oh, yeah, that's the only kind of spaghetti I eat.
I hope they know that I'm eating frozen blueberries out here.
Sal pockets half of the frozen spaghetti.
It's called their checks to see if the reports
are still working.
Yeah, guys, give me a food.
Perception or investigate checks.
I got a 21, perception.
Cool.
Also, there are a number of magical items that you guys can choose from
There is
Mythro plate that could be a decent thing for Callie
That is plate mail that does not give you disadvantage
There's also you see two swords in there
one as you go near it, starts to almost grow like fur. It takes on like an animalistic
thing, and then another one takes on sort of like a green shimmer. There's one that's like
a short sword, and one that's like a saber. Mechanically it'd be like a rapier, and the rapier
sort of like shimmers with like a green sparkle.
Ooh. Yeah, that looks a little better than it chainsaw.
Ha ha. This is tough. I mean, I like the fur, but I also like that. I can't. I look at the
mithril being like, God, you're such a good idea, but these swords are magic. Yeah.
good idea, but these swords are magic. Yeah.
So all you go, I can't decide.
Well, I mean, you can use your, like, detect good
and evil, like any of those things or something.
Yeah, I'll do a little detect magic on them.
Sick.
Okay, yeah, you cast detect magic.
You hold up a foster.
You reunite it with foster.
Wham.
My detect, I missed you. Wham. A glow goes over the ice over the two swords
The one that was growing hair is the polymorph blade
which is
Really fun, but is technically a cursed item on a nat 20 you cast polymorph on the person you're attacking on a one you cast it on yourself
So it's a little bit of a mixed back.
The other one is a take on the luck blade.
The luck blade, once per day, you essentially have the lucky feet.
You can reroll, a check, or a save on it's a plus one sword.
Oh, I totally take that.
That's all you lucky duck.
Yeah, you reach in and I'll say that you sort of have
a natural affinity for this.
Like it's very much like when Calder was going for the helm.
Like you're able to almost like reach through the ice
as you pull it out and it shimmers in your hand
and saw as you're watching
Callie attune herself to this you see she takes on a very briefly like a
more green look like a regular green spring alladrin Callie you sprouted some
flowers for a second there yeah there's like a like just a flash of a sun
flower you look freaking hot.
Oh, oh, Princess Shiverblight, you're here.
Hi, I'm Brayk here.
Oh my god, I'm giving you a treat.
Maybe.
Thank you for overseeing the treat giving.
Maybe I've been using this umbrella,
keeping myself dry from the water,
and none of the fowls have gotten watered.
Yeah.
So I think I need to, I just break the umbrella over my knee.
Yeah.
You give yourself a dead leg.
You break the umbrella.
And yeah, you see, Cali begins to sprout flowers
from under for armor as she holds this luck blade in her hand.
Oh my goodness.
Flowers from the snow.
Wow.
And Saul, I'll say some of the interesting things to you.
There is an amulet of health, which automatically takes your con up to 19.
Just pretty sick.
There's a cloak of displacement, which anyone who tries to attack you has disadvantage until they hit you once.
Oh wow. It's what M hit you once. Oh, wow.
To a mavers hat.
Yeah, that's good.
Oh, that is a tough call.
Could I be a cloak guy?
Oh, wait, could I take the cloak
and kind of shape it more into a scarf?
Yeah?
Awesome.
A scarf of displacement.
You have a scarf of displacement.
A scarf of displacement. Yeah, can we say that it kind of billows a little bit? Yeah. Yeah awesome Disgarp for displacement
Yeah, can we say that it kind of billows a little bit. Yeah, I'll say yeah, you take this
Having a cloth behind an ice wall is so funny. You pull out this wet
Stinking cloth Really mildewed, but as you put it on much like Cali's thing you feel attuned to it
You wrap it around your neck, it takes the form of a scarf,
and it begins to billow a bit in the wind,
and Callie, for a split second, as you look at Saul,
you see he suddenly kind of disappears
and moves to the left a little bit.
Like you could have swore you saw him over there,
but now he's over there.
Whoa!
Saul!
What happened?
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Wait, let me try and attack you.
Okay, yeah, yeah, hit me with a new sword.
Okay. And I would have, yeah, hit me with a new sword. Okay.
And I would have done it with disadvantage.
Fuck, I rolled really well.
I think I got a 16 and an 18.
I'm really feeling myself,
tripped, bit, the bit.
Can I use my hit to consciously decide to miss?
I'm gonna say that you do stab him just for minimal damage,
but you see, he's like hopping around,
you just run up and stab him in the chest,
for sure, but like, oh my god.
All right, so get in the hang of this.
And I think when I take my sword out,
it's like almost like iridescent like the beginning,
you see like the beginning of like,
you know, like oil will have like a little bit of rainbow on. Yeah, I think that's the beginning, you see like the beginning of like, you know like oil will have like a little bit of rainbow on.
Yeah, yeah.
I think that's the beginning of that.
Beginning of some rainbow shimmering light.
It's also in my blood.
Pretty much shiver-blank, you know.
Feeds you guys.
And um, like.
Yes she does.
Right before you leave.
You see she goes, considering that we have lost our dear soldier.
Who loved you and was sexually attracted to me.
Who loved me and was sexually attracted to me.
I think it's only right that I knight you too as well,
because you returned to my area.
You don't have to. That's what we are, but homable mercenaries.
You don't know. I need to borrow your cloak of displacement,
so she can't. what are you guys saying?
We actually
We actually um we have this is embarrassing. We're already knighted. Yeah
We're like already in a relationship. Oh my god. Mm-hmm. Would you each other? Yeah?
You guys are knighting each other. I did each other. Oh yeah. Okay, and in your culture
That's like I am her lady and she is my lord. Yeah, that's what the United
Give me a deception check with your advantage
And you could do it with advantage because it's all helping her 15 15. Okay, you see she nods and she goes like okay
I understand just the benders and the cloaks then that'll be enough for us
Our love will keep us warm through the night. Yeah
He is my lady and I miss load. Okay
Well, he's yet I can tell that you really love it's important to
We both Kurt see.
And Princess Shiverblight sees you guys off, brings you guys to the edge of the cave.
We're already to the edge.
And now you shall pass safely through my woods.
Thank you.
Thank you.
My lady.
This big white banner.
Absolutely.
Okay, it's very white and it's a very dirty forest.
I'll tell you what, the only thing that's going to pry this from my hands is like a low hanging branch that I accidentally got into.
Okay, go forth and tell of my mercy and your wiseness.
We will trumpet your wiseness from the highest hills.
Indeed, allow me to sing you this song of my people. BABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABAB and Sal and Kali walk off and rejoin a caulder here in the woods.
Oh, hey, sorry about that.
You see, Kali had a huge glow up,
his growing some flowers, has this rainbow blade.
You see, Sal has a cool new scarf on,
as you're just gaunt and sick.
Oh, those berries gonna have some.
No, you can't have any berries.
I have fucking three blueberries in a cursing helm.
Will you hold this real quick?
I have to get something from the duck
and I give him the banner.
And then I take a picture of him holding the banner.
I'm sure.
You guys are trolling me.
We learned it from Elzor, that person is a bully.
This goes in stigmatism.
Alright, so where do we head next?
I learned something while you guys were at my funeral.
So, Galgard was talking with folks who looked like void elves, but could very well be green elves in disguise
because they were reporting to Glenfear.
What is Glenfear doing with its people dressing up as void elves?
A void, wait a second, the clearly staging raiding parties, the creating a problem with
the Void elves, they're the faking it.
They're manufacturing a war so that they can take power from the blue dragon.
So Galkard is on their side.
Oh, that's worse, That's worse than we thought. Uh, so I think it's that you view by the way.
If you look closely, it's actually for Saul to build that.
Yeah, it's kind of like, uh, you know, if we had a baby.
Oh, okay. Got it.
Who was in love with Princess Shimmer Blight?
You didn't say I was like sexually dragged into it, did you?
Only once or twice.
Okay. I would say I touched on it. You didn't sound like sexually dragged into it, did you? Only once or twice.
I would say I touched on it.
I think we said a lot of nice stuff too.
Let's get far from here.
You told her that I died in like a heroic and a grave.
What's up, Foster?
Foster does the duck shrug.
Stabbed you the heart does the duck shrug. Stap your arm on the battlefield littered with arrows.
Some stuff happened after that. But yeah. But yeah. So even after what happened after that.
Holder, I'm trying to leave the old deceitful cally behind me except for in situations
like what just happened. So I'm just going to give it to you straight. What happened to Saldar? We. Oh. That you were.
What?
That was what.
What?
You blew up.
You blew up and a bunch of birds
moved down and ate the remains.
Stuffed with grenades like a Thanksgiving turkey.
Like put inside me.
Yeah.
Yeah, through your vent, through your vent,
for the inside.
Yeah.
And, okay. And then I was sexually attracted to her and that my name was Saldar and I was a frog.
Call it, you have to be said, we were going without a script.
Okay.
Right.
So like our imagination, so far from the, we were just feeding off of each other's vibe.
Yeah, and it went really well.
It went super well.
Yeah, we also things that were married.
And she gave you gifts.
Yeah, this code is sick.
Yeah, this code is sick.
Let's just wander into the woods.
Let's just wander away from here.
OK.
Did you, you didn't find a way to get my shoe back, right?
No, I actually gave it to them because I thought it would be more effective if the
statue was wearing it.
Cool.
But I did get you a bit of frozen goat and I take out just a frozen goat eye.
That is a bit of frozen goat.
Thank you.
Here's some spaghetti, man.
Thank you.
You can have a berry.
You eat some crunchy cold spaghetti.
While we are just sitting and chilling,
I will go ahead and just knit some little booties.
So wait for colder to wear.
Cool.
On the top and the bottom.
So I'm thinking this whole situation with the dragon elves at war seems bad, but
could we use this to our advantage because our goal is the egg. And if they're fighting
against each other, I'm wondering if that gives us a chance to slip in and try and snag
it while they're busy. Yeah. Because like, I don't think we have enough
firepower to take down any of these factions on our own. I have such a weird thought.
If Glenvia is pretending that there are void elves and we dress desk void elves and
attack, would he maybe think it was his own people?
Interesting.
If we could like spy what they their take on the void elf is
Well, I don't know. It's just something put put it in your back. Yeah, okay. We're still in improv mode
Yeah, yeah
I guess I'm just trying to figure out what our first move should be while we told Elzor yeah
We find them so we should probably reconnect with Elzor and fill them in on everything that's happened
Yeah, I think we had to throw ourselves off a cliff and then we fall down a deep hole and then we're in Elzor's home
Well, ideally we talked to Elzor's mom because they're only 45 right yeah, all right
So maybe we should go meet up with the deep elves. Yeah, yeah, let's let's go there first. Okay sweet
But what we are doing at stealthily
is that Calder doesn't get discovered by.
Yeah, you guys.
You guys are a continuation of the funeral procession.
We're saying nice things about Calder now as we walk.
Elzora had told you guys to go like a couple miles down
and up the cliff so you guys can make sure you hike
before you climb.
Okay.
So you guys hike for a very short amount of time,
like 45 minutes down the road, starting to get dark out,
and as it reaches night, sunsort of sets,
as you guys climb this mountain,
I won't make you guys do athletics checks
because I'll say you're like really taking your time.
And you guys get to the top,
and as you get up there,
everybody give me a perception check. 16 14 9 you guys see there is a giant patch of mushrooms that
are surrounding this giant hole in the mountain and this is at this is at the top
of the mountain so this isn't like a hole in the cliff face. This is like almost like a giant well. And you see it's almost a little suspicious. You see
Elzor is waiting
outside by themselves. You see they're just kind of
meditating. It looks like. Can I pick up a handful of mushrooms and whisper?
Yes, I just want to make sure we're not interrupting you.
Oh, not trans, and bud. Yeah, I was trans, saying, okay, I was waiting for you all because
there's going to be a little bit of a stink when I return and so I wanted to make sure
that I could introduce you to the parties that you need to meet before I'm sent away or whatever.
Is your mom pissed at you?
What's, what kind of stink?
Yeah.
Okay.
We like it, Messy, and we like it, stinky.
So, my mom is kind of the queen, and she's a dragon.
And her name is Queen Umberspore.
Sort of the way the K-Velves work is if you bond with one of the offspring of a royal dragon,
you're sort of adopted into the royal family.
So I'm a princex and Ignius is a princess and she's been sent ahead all sort of hurt and busted up and
We've been told several times not to leave the caves and to not go on scouting missions by ourselves and to not get hurt or anything
Oh, so you're sort of like royalty that shouldn't be due but you have an adventurous spirit and
you want to sleep beyond the castle.
That's exactly it.
We can vouch, we can vouch for you.
You can vouch.
Oh, so hard.
Dude, you're just bunky.
That's cool.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
I know mom's gonna be mad but I don't care.
Okay.
I'm not.
Yeah.
That's bunk. Okay. She's a dragon mad, but I don't care. Yeah, I'm not. Yeah, that's spunk. Okay.
She's a dragon.
Yeah, right.
And she's the queen.
Right.
And this means that Agnius' name is Agnius Ambersbull.
Yeah, yeah.
Princess Agnius Ambersbull.
Okay.
That's a great name.
Yeah.
She's awesome.
She's okay, but mom's told me a bunch of times not to go out riding with Agnius.
And then we got to a fight. We fought a bunch of times not to go out riding with igneous and then we got
no fight. We fought a bunch of chains. I'll guys. Yeah. Okay. What makes your
mother the most proud of you? When I don't do stuff like that. Okay. Okay. That's a
hard position. That's a hard time. I think once she when she finds out the truth of
the situation, she's gonna be cool with you guys and she'll hopefully be able to
help you and give you guys answers. She's
super wise and she's a
Good a good person a good track. You're saying we're gonna have to put on another performance. I was just gonna say I mean
We could totally pretend like we are like so Don't let them squeeze each other's hands Do you know how to let them touch each other's hands?
I'm really curious
I've been so much pain
Call her the color dives at her hands
I'm really sorry
That was it not
Whatever you guys did with Princess Shiverbly
Isnt gonna work with my mom
I'm just gonna have to take whatever punishment I get.
And you guys, let's just tell her like it is.
We will follow your lead.
All right, yes, please lead the way.
Her majesty, Saul Bowles ironically.
Ha ha ha ha.
God damn it.
She's like, fucking school.
But if things start going bad,
I'm gonna drop to my knees and call
you my savior. No, you don't. Okay, you have to be our savior. Otherwise, they'll get
even more mad at me for bringing it outside our
We can spin this. We can spin this. Don't spin anything.
I'm just gonna do that. You feel me, right? I'm just gonna go home.
Yeah, I'm not wearing shoes.
I'm wearing, you look sick.
Okay, well, I do feel, I feel ill.
I am technically wearing slippers,
which is a little bit for me.
If you want some, just let me know.
And I have a beanie,
but I'm only used to get to cover up a curse tell him.
Are we going?
Okay, let's go.
All right.
You see there are stone stairs circling,
this giant deep, deep tunnel
that goes down into the mountain.
And as you guys climb down,
you do eventually see the lights of visors
as other dragon elves are waiting down there.
There look to be like a couple of guards.
You find that not only are they guards,
they are like dragon keepers.
There's like a roost here with these cave dragons.
It's a subspecies of dragon called a dragon L.
They have the intelligence of like a horse.
They're not like, they don't talk like normal dragons do.
And you see as Elzor walks down into the roost, Elzor just goes, okay guys, I don't need any shit.
We just need a ride.
And you hear, you see the two dragon keepers, both wearing visors.
They're not wearing cloaks like Elzor was wearing.
They've got more riding gear and these long pole arms on their back.
And they laugh and they go
All right, your majesty
I'm sure we shouldn't bow. Do you not want a royal dragon? I fucking check one
You only week and bully Elzor
You you punch one you see the other one goes to take out his pole arm and Ellsor holds
their hand between the two of you and goes, okay, I'm gonna ask you to give me one royal
pass for that.
I don't bring in outsiders and he just attacked you and that's sold never to you then again.
All right, okay, you get one Saul pass.
I'll take the salt pass. You see the one guy, a bully, so kind of backs down
as soon as you stand up to him.
I kind of wipes the blood away from his nose
and looks up at Ellsor and goes,
fine, you can have a ride,
but trying not to get any of these ones hurt,
your mother's waiting for you.
You see Ellsor shakes their head. God damn it. I hold
Elzor back. It's not worth it. I know. Elzor.
She's supposed to resist.
While we ride over, will you tell me what your experience of bonding with Agnius was like?
You see, they not. Elzor talks to you as these dragon riders, these guards begrudgingly put you guys on these dragon elves.
Very untrusting of outsiders,
but it seems like maybe Agnius had sent something on the way in,
like you guys had helped her or something like that,
because they don't put up too much of a protest,
they don't put up too much of a fight.
You guys get on these dragon elves, these little dragons,
they're basically one cedars. It's like being on a horse
And you guys begin flying down these guys are rocking down like
And as you guys ride deep down into the mountain the wind is hitting your hair as you dive through the cold cave air
On the backs of these deep dragon elves
At first you're in almost complete darkness
and just trusting that your mounts know the way.
They're just kind of falling and letting their wings go.
But then you guys see bioluminescent mushrooms
begin appearing on the wall.
Some of them look like they're sentience.
Like kind of, you see like one pops out of a trance
and you see like little eyes open up.
Hey. Hello. Hey, hello.
Hi.
Keep on keeping on.
Waves as you guys continue to fall.
And after you guys kind of like reach terminal velocity,
you guys shoot out into a tunnel and begin flying level.
And Elzore turns to you, Callie, and goes,
right, you were asking about me and Agnes.
Yeah. Well, we have warrior training and whatnot Elzore turns to you, Callie and goes, right, you were asking about me and Ignis.
Yeah.
Well, we have warrior training and whatnot
where squires before we're nights and dragon riders.
And when you're going through sort of your warrior training,
you start with different wormlings
who go through the training exercises with you
and they'll kind of see which dragons attach to which elves.
And they don't tell you which ones are the royal ones
and it turns out that Ignis was a princess.
Wow.
But how did you know that you had bonded?
Like is it, is it like just becoming friends with someone
or was there a more magical component to it
or a more bodily component to it or a more bodily component to it?
You see, they think about it and they just smile and nod and go, I think it's just something
magic, just something that you know.
And you feel foster warm, sitting down next to you as you fly on the strike at home. Do I feel anything for my home?
As we travel deep down into the mountain, I want you to remember that it is not your job
to hide in a hole.
The giants will rise again and rule the world, the above world.
I thought the middle of that was really cool and inspiring
Second part was kind of
Yeah, that we've had gone
Later
You have like a side piece that you don't want to know about
Yeah from shiverblight to ultra-s
Finally guys break through the tunnel and enter the cave that hosts the D. Belf lair
Really, it's more like an underground town. This is way more impressive than the Shiverb like layer
Which was basically just a place for her to kind of have her treasure. It was very like dragon-focused
This is a community of humanoids
Living with dragons. You see the cave ceiling is huge
it's like a thousand feet high you can see these beautiful stone buildings temples
taverns homes there are skittering drakes and spiders and other creatures
along the walls there are these glowing mushroom like farms some for eating it
looks like some are actually living mikingids, just kind of hanging out.
You see the entire under city glows with fairy fire. It looks like it's used kind of less to see
and more to be able to like demarcate different sections of the city. There are tall spires of purple,
other ones of blue or red or green. And as you guys fly over the city,
you reach the edge of town,
and there is a wide, wide castle built
into the side of the cave wall.
There are windows with different colored lights
from all these different rooms.
Outside of it, in a courtyard of fungus,
another one of these fungal gardens.
You see that a bunch of deep elves and dragons
are looking up at you guys. It looks like there's a hubbub and elves are just shakes their head and
goes like, oh shit. You are in trouble. Okay. And you see dividing the crowd, sort of partying
the crowd here is Queen Umbpore, this massive deep dragon.
Pale Grey Scales covered in colorful fungi.
It looks like looking at the side of a barrier reef.
A top-of-the-head is a massive mushroom that almost looks like a cocked hat.
It's roots and networks make their way around her face and body.
You see
Unlike Ells or she doesn't wear a visor. She just has these large pale eyes
She looks up at you guys and with a booming voice that echoes through the cave goes you
Insulin child flying about putting the princess in, bringing top-siders to our castle,
are you trying to get exiled?
Hmm?
No mom.
You guys all land.
You see a bunch of these deep elves come around to you guys.
Some of them go and grab your guys' arms and stuff and Ellsor are
reaching out. Get your hands off of them! I think I'd try to take it with Grace and I
want to cast Speak With Animals just on the dragon now just to say thank you very
much for the ride. It was delightful. You're welcome! I'm picturing them having super serious faces.
Oh, worse.
I think that's all for the first time is seeing a dragon that is truly impressive and imposing
and just let himself be taken into her presence.
She's a lot bigger than Princess Shiver Blake. And you see she lumbers over to Ells
or stomps shaking the earth as she begins chewing them out.
When you bonded with the princess,
you took on certain responsibilities,
young one, your behavior is a disgrace to your position.
She looks up at these dragon riders that are over by you guys.
You see, they have their own kind of dragon elves near them,
and she goes,
Escort the top-siders to the forest.
I'm sorry that you got mixed up in all of this, but you have to go.
There is nothing disgraceful about what they did.
Also, I argue we don't really belong outside anymore than we belong in here.
We're kind of outside as everywhere we go.
Oh yeah.
Uh, go ahead and give me a presentation check.
And I'll say you're helping each other you can do within advantage.
16 plus 8, 24.
She softens a bit, sort of twists her head and goes, yes, well, I suppose you are a bit
strange even for the living wood. Are you a frog, man? of twists or head and goes, yes, well, I suppose you are a bit strange,
even for the living wood.
Are you a frog, man?
I don't see many of you down here,
and you, a giant?
No, not quite.
You could be.
Shh.
Ha, ha, ha.
Can I strain really hard and try to make a flower?
Yeah. I like, push really hard and try to make a flower?
Yeah, I like,
push really hard and then just like a one little tiny,
looks like a weed. Like a little weed comes out.
She takes it from you.
Thank you.
For the queen.
Okay, Kelly, that was insane.
I can't see you do anything like that. Oh, it's new. It's ever since I got this sword.
What? Yes. I broke my umbrella. Amazing. She smiles and she takes it and she goes,
still, we can't just be having top-siders in and as she's talking, Elzer in a rupture and goes, they saved Ignis. They healed her. I got Ignis in trouble.
We were out on a scouting mission or as you would call it, flying around looking for trouble.
We found trouble. We got involved in something that we shouldn't have gotten involved in.
And they bailed me out and they saved Ignis. And you see, she turns to you guys and goes, is this true?
Queen Umbersport, I'm really sorry.
I look at Elzor very apologetically.
That's not entirely what happened.
What are you guys doing?
Elzor looks like Elzor.
Elzor saved us.
Yeah.
It makes it happen.
Yeah.
Elzor really kind of helped us out of a really bad situation.
So I'm sorry, I just can't take credit that's undue.
Yeah.
You see, Queen Umbersport looks at you.
Elzor may be a scamp.
They may mislead or exaggerate, but they are not a liar.
Did you or did you not save my daughter?
I did heal the princess.
Princess Agnius.
Then, at the very least, we can offer you a place to patch up your wounds and rest.
Elzor will be going off to their quarters.
Fine, mom! Yeah, we know. I'm going off to their quarters. Fine, mom. Yeah, we know.
I'm going off to my quarters.
I'll have my dinner and my freaking quarters.
Like, like, life's hard when you're 45, I get it.
See, Queen Umber Sports shakes her head.
45-year-olds, they just don't listen.
They don't.
Elzor.
What age do they start listening?
Late 80s.
Late 80s. Late 80s.
At best, from what I hear.
You, if I'm not mistaken, are an alladrin.
Or you're not, I don't want to be presumptuous, but how old are you?
I'm 65.
What?
You don't look a day over 50.
I was going to say you don't look a day over 50. I was gonna say you don't look a day over 55.
Yeah, no, I'm 65, yeah.
What would that equivalent be for like a-
28?
Yeah, go, go.
Yeah, I'm 65.
Sal's head is real, there was a tight rem on his miss this entire time.
Well, we're not used to having top-siders around here, but we're also not used to having
people who save my daughter.
So welcome.
Come in.
Gladly.
Thank you.
Can we get Nell's or is room?
I would offer you a place at my banquet table.
Yeah, that's what we want.
I'm going to take you up on that. You see, they open the gates of the castle,
Queen Umberspore motions for you guys to follow her in.
This is so bad, I already ruined my appetite
with frozen fucking goat.
Oh wow, I have only had a few berries today
and a little bit of crunchy pasta.
Does anyone of you have boots?
And that's where we went our first time.
As you guys walk into the castle and join the queen of the castle.
Oh, man.
Great stuff.
What a performance.
Thank you all so much for listening.
I will talk more about this over on our after show.
patreon.com slash nad pod.
That's n-a-d-d-p-p-o-u don't say that.
We are, we are, we are, we are, we are, we are, we are, we are.
We're not saying yeah, that's the short rest.
In the meantime, we got anything we want to plug.
I'll plug, I'll plug two things I've been enjoying recently.
Oh.
One, I'm listening to Gideon the ninth on an audio book.
It's so good.
Yes.
And the woman who does the narration, rules.
And two, I'm reading a book called Vita Nostra.
It's kind of like a dark academia kind of book.
It's kind of fucked up.
I have no clue where it's going,
but I'm loving it so far.
Sick, sick, what's it called again?
Vita Nostra.
Vita Nostra.
I have a weird one to plug this week,
but I wrote a ghost wrote a pop punk song.
Whoa! That's cool.
Yeah, and it's being this guy that I met on Instagram, put it on Spotify.
And you can check out the band, it's called Fate on Shuffle.
Sick!
Yeah, it was mostly a joke, but it turned into a fully earnest pop punk song.
What does it mean to go stride it?
I just wrote the lyrics and this guy did everything else.
Wow.
Yeah.
So it's you are going to be on stage at Coachella.
I'm going to get the dude lives in London, I'm fully performing.
I'm going to be like, skanking like the doodles.
The doodles.
I'll be there front row.
Please do.
I'm going to do a double plug for Gideon, then I Deuteron's. Yeah, I'll be there front row. Please do. I'm gonna do a double plug for getting the knife
because that book is great.
I really enjoyed it as well.
But I would love to also plug some stuff
from our PO box.
So that's okay.
It's been a bit.
We've had a lot of lovely things sent to us.
I'm gonna start off with Annie M.
who sent us some D20 earrings and a crotcheted foster.
Crocheted Foster.
That's amazing.
Crocheted, oh yeah.
And the Crochet foster, Annie,
matches our decor perfectly.
And I'm just waiting for a cat to cuddle with it.
I put it on a little day bed.
It looks perfect.
She's baiting the cat.
Yes.
Yeah, will they destroy it?
Will they snuggle with it?
Will they use like a kicker?
Will they snuggle with it?
They will do both.
And that's their right. Let's see, at Eliana a kicker, will they snuggle with it? They will do both. And that's their right.
Let's see, at Eliana Creader,
Senate-knitted D20 balls,
a lot of knitting and we're so pleased that's great.
Thank you.
They're really cool.
Thank you for the crotcheting, everybody.

Yeah, some early investor will be doing a hostile takeover.
You'll be getting a bear hug, don't you worry.
So yeah, a lawyer up for that, I would say.
Theoji aka at T Golden Art Sentison.

It's big enough to do that.
That looks so good.
It's amazing.
I'm gonna keep my phone in it when I get my steps.
So now, my neighborhood, which knows me as the girl
who goes on all those little walks,
is gonna be, I'm gonna be the girl who goes
on all those little walks with a duck.
With a duck, with a duck.
