I'm your dungeon master, Brian Murphy Murphy joined by Jake Herwits. Just wants to pretend he's Swag's best friend. Call her Killed Me, aka Dag Swangles. Dag Swangles in the house. A highly original character. And then of course we've got Emily Axford. Dreading what's next with her really fucking hot ex-caliope petrick Oh, he's hot. Oh, no, I hope she doesn't catch a blaze

And then of course we've got called Wultanner the manual with the Plannial who's got this in the bag last name Daniel first name Swing Yeah We're all kind of hesitant to support that Swag Yeah We were all kind of hesitant to support that Interesting rhyme scheme. Yeah Was a a b a I don't know It was a b a b It was M&M style it was rhymes within rhymes. It was elevate. I don't think you need to like figure out for a crime scheme or something just appreciate it. Just woo me and move on.

Call the whole thing if not ahead of his time. Let's go ahead and do a little recap. So last time you faced the trial of the serpent queen, their gargantuan beast shook and rattled the earth, tossing you and dropping you while she brushed off your attacks with starfire scales. However, Callie managed to venture into the belly of the beast by face stepping into her mouth. Right. From there, so poetic, things began to get a little nose focused. As Saul shoved grenades up her nostrils and Callie began cutting at her nose hairs. No silk. No silk. No silk. No silk. No silk. No silk. Of course we trademarked that. Mercifully, you defeated her and shattered her corporeal form, sending her back into the sky. My nose is getting itchy thinking about that fight. I feel like I need a sneeze,

and it's just purely the nose silks. I just have pantom no silks. I mean like metaphorically it was your nose. Are your no silks tangles? They're a little tangles right now. Did you use your no shampoo today? I did not. Oh, I do need a straightener. Anyway, from there she awarded you a boon and Cali pledged herself to the baby serpent

promising to bring its siblings back. You slept under the stars and were returned back to the creek by Oberon next morning. There, you ran into bumpy on the outskirts of town, the old creek elf revealed that Glen had arrived as an envoy of an army of misfits offering to help with the upcoming blue elf invasion. After refusing to leave, Glen was captured and put in the time out tree where you went to question him.

On the way, you encountered Mima exiting with Kudr, Glenn's father, who was distraught that his son was just as angry with him as ever. Mima expressed to you that Glenn had the Crick Elves in a tough spot if they don't accept his help, his army presents a real threat. You don't some fake names with Saul and Calder presenting as swag Daniels and dag swaniels respectively.

I find this work to date. Yes, it's really a joke for coming up with dag swaniels. I don't know how to do it. Yeah, it was hard. It was hard. But that's improv. Yeah. That's the job.

That's the job. Improv is hard. Finally, you ventured beneath the timeout tree and confronted Glenn, Glenn revealed that the plot against the powerful blue dragon elf faction was discovered after the incident at the summit. The blue elves are out for blood and the smaller factions are scared, so Glenn has united them under one banner and transported them for safety to the creek. Swagon dag left Kelly alone, to question Glenn, and she dropped some truth serum in his drink.

Glenn seemed to voluntarily drink the concoction, pregnantosiously saying that he would end up on top. And that is where we are now. Wolfgate. So, here in the time out tree, Dagon Swag, probably up the stairs a little bit. Right. Kelly, you are in the basement of the time out tree. Glenn sits across from you.

There are thick roots between you, acting like prison bars. All you've got here is just this one torch, and just flickering in the flames, you see the orange glow reflecting off his green eyes. I think I'm gonna just be real business about this. Glenn, I have to be really honest. Meemaw has taken me and my friends into her confidence, and she's looking for our guidance.

So can I ask you some questions about how bad this threat is? Because I will advocate for you if working with you is the right option. for you if working with you is the right option. Well, Mimaw never listened to me before, but perhaps she'll listen to you. You see he folds his arms and leans back. Ask away. I need to know how bad this Blue Army is. Are we talking like they're going to just send a couple people to assassinate someone or are we looking at a whole Choir of like huge dragons

Well with Cobalt gone with Periwinkle gone. There are still Four high princes and then the high king that's four adult blue dragons, one ancient blue dragon, countless younger ones, wormlings, dragon elves, and then the power of their army, all the Elven riders and rangers and pikemen. Okay, that seems like a pretty serious threat. And I know that they've already started moving south and chasing out the other factions.

I know Shiverblight was chased out of her lair. What? I know that they've besieged the deep elves that they're not going to be able to get out of their cave. How much time does the crick have? Because I think you know, as well as I do, are gonna be able to get out of their cave? How much time does the crick-hav? Because I think you know as well as I do that they can really delay the clock with deliberation. Callie, go ahead and give me a deception check.

How do you know to say that? Hahahaha. Because I'm glad. That's gonna be a 26. Right, lots of talking, not a lot of action. Yes, and I feel as an outsider that I am in a position to hasten their decision. I've heard through the grapevine that they've managed to get out of Schrumrott, through magical means I assume. I don't think you'd give it up voluntarily.

The secret of how to get to the Crick, which means they know that the Crick is on a demi-plane and that they need to teleport here somehow. But knowing how to get here is only half the battle. They need a Crick Elf, a Ranger, to bring them in, to gate them into this demi-plane. So they're likely out hunting for Crick-Rangers as we speak. And I can't let them in myself because if I were to do that, they might nab me. And I've got no problem being here with the Crick-Ealths, my friends. But I have no interest in being handed over to the Blues. I thought you had friends amongst the Blues.

Well, I have friends everywhere, Colipe. The King himself though, the generals of the King's army, I don't know if they'd be thrilled to see me at this moment. You saw me, how I commanded that audience at that summit. Yeah, you're very good with the crowd. Good in private as well. Yeah, you're very good with the crowd. Good and private as well. Yeah, I remember. So now that the cards are on the table,

Kali, you know the practical thing to do is just for us to unite our forces. Why would you think that I would be persuaded by you? Cally, what are we doing here? We are having a very important military conversation, which I have shown up for, with very little emotional baggage. So for swag and bag, was it? Kelly, come on. What do you think they're talking about? You just hear, you hear low whispers as you guys are like,

up the stairs a little bit, you're probably getting a little concerned. I'm sure it's all bottomed up. You guys just hear a sustained, sexy back and forth. Just a hum. Really can't make anything out at all. Does it feel hot in here? It feels, I don't know, it's standing. It's standing. Kelly, I've still got friends at the creek.

Like you were saying, I've got friends everywhere, but the powers that be don't trust me here. So if you've got a line in with Mima, I would very much appreciate it if you could get my point across. Oh, so that's what's going on. You've seen another string you can pull on in me. K-Y-P.

Is that it? So you know it was actually kind of a relief when I found out that you were using me. Because here I thought that there was just something inherently repulsive about the way that I love people that I push you away. But actually, it was nothing about me. That's completely correct, Kalype. You know, it was business getting the egg. But there's, you know, relationships are complicated. There's business and there's pleasure and some relationships are both.

Kalype does a little bit of a pace. I figure that the room is orchestrated in a way that I can walk out of his vision. So I can just panic whenever I'm not in sight and then come back in cool and calm. What do you think I'm gonna do, Glenn? Do you think that you've sold me on you being the best option? Do you think you've sold me on how dangerous the blue elves are, or how powerful you are?

You know, Kalipe, if you had asked me a few months ago, I would have said you would have tried to sell everything I just said to me, ma'am. But this new rebellious streak squashing my rebellion, stealing the serpents, you're unpredictable. Yeah, yeah, I fucking am. Well, all right. Do you know any like word games or anything? No. Yeah. Do you know any like word games or anything?

I would say we could play I spy, but it's all just tree. Yeah, it's true. Right, okay. I think I say, alright Glen, I'm done with you. We'll see about that. And then I walk upstairs. Okay. Oh, yo're Kelly. How did go? Just an absolute cold sweat Tag, um, I need to use the bathroom

Right on yeah No, no, no, we should talk we should talk okay, okay, okay Not for as long as I need to Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh the crack. Oh, I think you guys can't use the report sports that Elzor put in you guys because it's been a few days,

but I think if you guys want to do... But would you guys recognize them if there were any, because we're in nature right now? Oh, just to see if you were like being spied on or something like that. Yeah, you guys can. Yeah, to see if there are any to eat so that I can talk to them privately.

Yeah, go ahead and give me a nature check. I'll say that, yeah, they is, they would grow around here. There have been famous druids from the creek that could do reports for us. See if we find like a little mushroom guy. It's gonna be a six. Okay. You did drop me to look too. You see these extremely neon mushrooms that you think are maybe reports for us.

Everyone fucking eat one of these. Hey. That one is oozing in a way. You think or maybe reports worse everyone fucking eat one of these That one is losing You see Cali you guys this is a matter of national security A bite of this glowing mushroom All season dead chipper month right next Does eyes on that I down? I read a healing potion. Kelly, Kelly drops to zero.

I have to take a long rest and then pop back up. We can also just write notes, I guess. Yeah, no, I'll say you guys can do like perception checks if you want to just make sure no one's around, like leave the time out tree and just kind of find an area in the woods where you're by yourself. Just finds a bit of privacy. Great.

That is a dirty 20 on my perception. Oh, dirty 20 for me too. Nice. Drops it in a home, strike again. Yeah, you guys look around. You find a little area that is near like someone's abandoned stump, like near like a home that nobody's in, doors open. You can just straight up walk into this person's house.

Oh, Kelly, there's a bathroom. Yeah, later. Okay. I think, like, the way I see it is he's real smug down there, right? He really thinks he has us in some sort of checkmate. Yeah. But, like, I didn't agree to play chess. If I'm not playing his game, who says I can't move one of his pieces?

Oh. So my feeling is he's giving us a false sense of options right he's saying there's two options here work with me or I will attack the crick. Yeah why don't we just go after the blues? Yeah why are we playing Glenn's game at all? Exactly. He's setting the board as he wants it but we need to go out then move some pieces around too. Yeah he You can't even get the cold shots. Kick the fucking bowl out from underneath his stupid pieces. Yeah.

But are the blues super strong? Would we be able to attack them at all? So actually that's the real, I had this thought and it turns out, yeah, they're like really, really, really powerful. Okay. Um, they've got four high-printed, which are like adult blue dragons and an ancient dragon. Oh, dragon owls. Yeah. They did chase out Shibablight.

Sorry. That's fine. Are you okay, man? I'm good. And they've just seized the deep owls. Yeah. There's a lot of memories there, but not all good ones. So yeah, I agree with you on that point that we're just playing Glen's game.

It's like a false, he's saying here's two paths and he's shielding us from the fact that no, of course there's not two paths. There's only two paths forward for you. Yeah, right. Should we talk to Mima about this and see if maybe we could lead some sort of strike team and try and at least reduce their army somewhat? The thing is, I don't feel good about taking any Crick Alps away, right? Because we don't know if Glens gonna go after them.

But Glens' plan seems to require them to be decimated by the blue elves, right? So presumably there's a fair battle between the two of them. And there are still Crick Alps here who would rally to Glens' cause. Yeah, I think we should fucking find out who that is though. Could we like create some sort of decoy where we plant like a false ranger that leads them in a different way? I think we just do like decoy stuff and try and kill the ancient blue dragon. If this full print is and the king gets killed, they're going to be fighting each other

for power. Do you see what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. That's what I'm thinking. And I don't know enough about, I mean, can I do a history check to know if like, it sounded like these princes were doing little coups against each other, right? Yeah, go ahead and, yeah, you can do history or insight and you can do with advantage. Shit. Sixteen.

Yes, so with a sixteen, you guys know enough from your time in the living wood. You encountered the high prince cobalt, who, his team, Cheswick's like fort of blue dragon elves were literally working against the other ones so that he could become king. You can say with almost certainty that if the king was dead, that all other plans would be off except for trying to snatch power. Yeah, that's fine. You guys have another thought though,

with a 16. That's the deep dragons that are being besieged. That's Umberspore's layer. You guys also know of another layer of deep elves. Shroomrots crew, which are currently in prison, in the High Kings Fort. Okay, okay. So the High King would be moving away from the fort

towards the creek or wherever he thinks the creek is. Is that what I'm thinking? That's what I'm thinking is like, I want to go after this, this king, right? It's like, we can't take on the whole army. But if I can free Shroomrot's men, then Shroomrot can rescue Umbersport, and maybe turn the tide against the blues.

Yeah, and meanwhile, we're on a personal mission after this king. How will we kill a fucking king? This is dark stuff. But you know what it is? It's our game, not a place. That's what I'm thinking. That's what I'm thinking.

Okay. Great, then let's go talk to Mima because obviously her approval is the most important. I think you're right. Let's do it. Okay, I'm just going to put a little sign next to this mushroom so that nobody else tries to chop it.

Why? I already took it. I took it because we're gonna need this. I'm out assassinating a king. I stopped on the mushrooms and I was like, hold on. It's Callie doesn't know that she was out for eight hours. My medium clumsy feet. I was eating through your boots. Those were new. Sweet. So you guys leave this little private area where you guys were conspiring. And you guys see that now there's kind of a flurry of activity around the creek. You see that there's crick-elf rangers along with like dragon wormlings, mostly black,

some red, are getting into position, like spreading out, getting ready to guard the Crick Town Center in case anybody gates in and tries to attack. Occasionally, you'll see more grown up dragons, like shiver blight sized, but nothing massive. Most of what the Crick has on their side is numbers, not too many big guns, but a lot of like smaller ones. But you guys get to the Crick Town Square

and you see that a lot of the Crick Elbs are gathered, like a lot of the like non-warriors, like older folks and stuff and the kids. There's a lot of whispering and debate amongst them about what to do with the situation at hand. Tension seem high, you hear a lot of, so may ride, so I'm some miss. It's a miss, it's a miss, it ain't right.

It ain't right, glen it, right, something's a miss. They're not wrong. And you guys see that Mima is conferring with some of the old folks and bumpy. And after a moment you see that, she does catch your eye and excuses herself and walks over to you guys. Do you guys manage to get anything from Sawyer?

Well, we got two cool nicknames and the Halle did all the work. That's awesome. What are the nicknames? DAXWANUALS, I came up with that one first and then all of that. Off of that, I did swag Daniels. I saw all that way. Awesome. You do have to come up with your own stuff. When people are coming up with nicknames, you've got to make sure you don't just copy the other person. Awesome, you do have to come up with your own stuff. When people are coming up with nicknames, you've got to make sure you don't just copy

any other person. Yes, sir. So I'll just punch as a tree with my heart. That's so right. Whoa. All right, well, what did you all find out? Yeah, she kind of pulls you over to the side. Actually, I think we have kind of a crazy idea

to suggest to you. All right. We were feeling like he gave us A and B, but we want to present C. And I click on a PowerPoint presentation. Wait, wow. We were supposed to deactivate our monestones. How are you doing that?

You kept the projector. They make quality products over at Muggish Hipster. I used the front sedentation to do a power-up presentation. You got to do a thing. You got to do it the old natural way. So, he's the deal. We know that some of the lower ranking blue dragons were trying to go after the hiking. So we figured if you wanted you could dispatch us to try to kill the ancient blue dragon and start some infighting amongst the princes.

Yeah, we already know that the blues loved to coup, so they'd probably coup each other but we don't think blues do love to coup. That's true, blues got to coup. That's a great rhyme. If you're honest it's true. That's really true, Calder. You can come up with that all by yourself. I think so. Soul Punch is another truth. Dude, I mean, I've heard crazier ideas, but not many. The king is an ancient blue dragon. He's like a hundred feet long.

Yeah, no. We're taking like a really big swing, but this is the year of taking really big swings. Yeah, if there's anyone you can lend us that might be able to help you. Shroom rat. Do you know Shroom rat? Yeah, of course I to help you. Shroom-Rot, do you know Shroom-Rot? Yeah, of course I know Shroom-Rot. Shroom-Rot is currently in captivity at the nest or layer of the ancient blue dragons who are figuring if we can free him, maybe he'd help us fight. All right, so you've got Shroom-Rot on your side.

You've got some deep elves in there. Yeah. They'll probably be moving a bunch of people out That's actually not as crazy as maybe I thought it was originally. I mean, I know people that have killed gods before It's my daughter That's really nice to see. It's really nice to see just a positive mother-daughter relationship. Yeah, actually speaking of family, I've got a grandson that is a ranger. That's one of the kind of gatekeepers that can bring people in and out of the creek.

And I kind of called back all our rangers last night and he didn't come back. And I'm a little afraid he might have tried something rash or maybe got himself caught. So. So if we can go free him, we can bring him with us. I mean, yeah, there's a chance he could be in the same place that y'all are going. Yeah, the blues don't know where the Cric is.

They're gonna need a Ranger to get here. Yeah. He could be in trouble. Yeah that's true he could be having me being interrogated. His name? Yeah his name's Big Bev. Big Bev. Big Bev. Okay. We'll find your boy. All right well if y'all can somehow pull this off I can guarantee we won't need Glenn's army and we could just focus up on taking out this misfit army. Yeah, you stay here because I've, I told Glenn that I would come talk to you and give,

you know, you, my opinion based off what I heard from him, but I didn't tell him what I was gonna say. It might be in your interest to pretend like you are going to play nice with him. All right. in your interest to pretend like you are going to play nice with him. Alright. Or maybe just act as if you're still in, you know, deliberation. Listen, I think whatever comes of this mission, y'all are going on, we'll find out fast whether it win good or bad. And I'm really going to suggest that if you all get down there

and you manage to free Shroomrot or some of those deep elves or something, consider that mission complete. Y'all don't have to go after the king necessarily. Just, you know, use your best judgment. I've, again, I've known people that have killed gods, but I've known people that have been killed by Nanner Floss. I've actually known a lot more people that have been killed by Nanner Floss

than I know people who have killed dogs. They do have very big teeth. They do. They do. They do. They do. They do. They do. They do. They do. They do. They do have very big teeth. They do. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. They do have very big teeth. you guys have, I mean, it's gonna be chaos there. So if you have a way to, you know, I'm sure we've got some blue elf stuff here. If you need any, or if you have your own, I would highly suggest using some deception. You're not gonna be able to get in there, guns ablaze. Right, deception is my shit.

Okay. Good. As I say this, I cast disguise myself too. Look, my cauldronder and I look better than him My more Damn double dad's coldest confidence grows a little bit incredible. Joleen, I guess I had a question once we get there and once we achieve our goal, hopefully, is there any way we can contact you?

We'll be able to find you. Okay, I'll get you out. I'll scrawl on you and we'll be able to get you all out. Okay, do you need something to use for scrying? I guess I could give you some saliva or I don't know what you need. Are you trying to get a piece of hot water spit? You don't know what she needs but your first guess is spit Let's do that or what like it's a blood that seems more invasive

I could take like a piece of hair or something I don't have any hair I'm trying to meet you have where there's three of you I pick out a blue beard hair Thank you dad I also pick out a blue beard Thank you dad you, Dad. I also pick out a blue beard. Thank you, Dad. It's amazing, my beard is so long and lush. So it's on the ground.

Before I leave, do you have someone who's bringing meals to Glenn? Yeah, yeah. I've been popping bag giving him meals every once in a while. Okay. Now you can spit at something. I have to try.

I'm out. Oh, don't do this in front of me. I can't. This is like low key kind of a war crime thing. I can't, I can't see this. We're going to spin this food. I think I, um, I think I have the make Glenn's favorite meal. And then I'll put a little note on the tray.

That's just says you owe me, Kaliope. Ooh, that's good. Whoa. What does this thing remind me of? Because he says you owe me Kalioby. Ooh, that's good. Whoa, what's his favorite meal? Because he does fucking owe me. But I'll let him think for what? I think his favorite meal, oh, you know he's protein based. That guy hasn't had a carbon six years. He's probably like chip amongst skewers.

Oh god, it's so light. We honor your sacrifice, little Chaper Mons. Lean. All right. Well, I can get you back to the living wood, but it's not as simple as teleporting. If you want to be near the Hawking's Fortress, you got to get there the same area kind of geographically

at the creek. You're just essentially opening the gate between dimensions. You're not like teleporting. Exactly. You see she reaches into like her pouch and pulls out a little green vial. We have these sometimes if we have visitors to the creek that need to get out and rush. You drink this potion, you'll briefly be able to cast the gate spell. I'll send a ranger to bring you back once you guys are finished, but as soon as you drink this you're gonna be out of the creek All right, okay Glend's not placing all of his eggs in this one basket. He's making a lot of moves. I bet yeah, so stay on guard

All right, he's spreading his eggs out. I think so his beautiful eggs So so rich full of protein easy dags He's a dad I still look like Wow Rich full of protein. Easy dags. Easy dags. I still look like Calder. Wow. Why is my lip quivering out there? Calder, quit being a perv. I'm sorry. I asked Calder to do a cursed and steward lip bite.

Damn, does it look that hot when I do it? Yeah, man, yeah. Before we go, just while we're discussing liabilities, Saul pulls out the rolodex. Oberon was able to help us, but I think this might still be a liability. It was connected to Beatrix and now examed right. Now that I guess Beatrix is gone, I'm not sure if we can trust using this for messages or not. I've got a friend in Ezri that I'd love to talk to but I'm worried about using this to communicate. Is there any way you could like try and

purify it or at least contain it? Yeah, I can take a look at it. I can say if this was mothership technology and it's used for sending messages, this is just about the least safe thing you could use to send messages. Okay. I noticed that y'all use leaves for toilet paper. So I don't think it'll get misplaced. That's true. Yeah. I don't even know what this is. Look kind of notebook is this. It's actually a really good idea. We've been wasting toilet paper. You're right. I know it's perfect. There's no metal.

You're sitting right there and you're looking at it. Why not bring a pen in and get some right and don't? Yeah, you just want to rat. Yeah, leave a little note for someone else. Yeah. The next person who uses it. All right, well, please be careful. Do not get yourselves killed.

If you're in trouble, you come back here. Is there something we should tell Bev when we find him? So they don't know. You trust us? I mean, if you're down in the dungeons, breaking people out, I think he'll trust you pretty fucking quick. All right.

But you can tell him, Mima sent you. We will. Okay. I guess before we go, I'm also going to cast Find Steed. Oh, dope. You cast Fine Steed. You see Starlight shoots down from the sky. I borrowed some stars here.

Wait! Oh, the sun gets way too close. You got two attached to your constellations, right? No, the stars come down. It's still daytime. It's getting a little bit later. But yeah, you see Starfire comes down from the sky. It takes like a sparkly form before becoming the corporeal form of the little serpent. I get on it as colder I've always wanted to see myself with a bow

This is the best TV show I've ever watched Sweet yeah, you mount the serpent and then is there anything else you guys want to do before you hike? Yeah, can we grab those blue elf like costumes or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think you guys have them yourselves, but you can grab like more stuff from them. They've definitely killed blue dragon. Anything that will help. Yeah, is there anything that would help that you have, that would help us in a stealth mission.

Well, let's see. We had a clairvoyant potion at one point and that was pretty clutch. I think that without trace would go along with it. That trace potion would be sick. Let me see what I have. Even a silent bomb would be sick. Whoa. Is that real?

I don't know. We're back. I mean, any bomb that you have would be awesome. Whoa, is that real? I don't know Dream it so you can be if would be awesome We guys gave cooter the one yeah, we took it to bomb so they could kind of oh That's true a bomb for a bomb All right, I can Take take about an hour do a little ritual and chant a couple of potions up for y'all We can do a pass without trace. Maybe a couple of polym up for you all. We can do a pass without trace.

Maybe a couple of polymorphs or a sawl. Oh yeah. So there could be, Oh, that's huge. Are we saying there could be three dags? I think you'd have to be an animal. But if you want to call it your first bag, that's okay.

Trust me, trust me, trust me, trust me, trust me, trust me, trust me, trust me, to stop copying a whole author. Honestly, as DAG. Yeah, you're a fucking animal. I jump up in chess, but me. Like we've lost control of the narrative here.

Actually, before we leave, I also, so Polymorph would be great. I think we should also check in with that dream druid. I'm looking at Calder's helm. Yeah. How's it been going in there? You know, not great. I'm afraid to go to bed. And then I'm afraid when I wake up, because I know I'll have to go to sleep soon. Yeah.

So yeah, it's bad. It's bad. Yeah, so let's try and run David with the dream show. Yeah. And then that will be enough, which is out of here. Yes, we're gonna check on our hats. Sweet. Yeah, Mima goes to an alchemist,

starts getting a work on your stuff, and you guys go over to Eloise, the Dream Druid. You go over to her stump, and you see that she is deep in. Oh my God, and how is her stump decorated? Oh, you know that there's like a bead curtain as you go, as you go in. I dare you to put sound effects in there.

Just an absolute cottage core inside. A real clutter core. Just a little like trinkets and everything all over the place. And she looks like she is in a trance, attempting to put things down in a scroll, attempting to put like a spell together so that she can enchant items. Okay. Oh, she's like really busy. Yeah, should we leave a note? Yeah, let's leave a note,

but I wonder, can I just see if there's any little potion just to help call the feel less nervous about going to sleep? Oh, like a bowl tea. Oh, nice. Well, just like a camel. You see, she looks up from her trance and goes, I thought at the crib, you could just go through someone's cap of it. Of course, you can just go through. Oh, okay, okay, great. But I think what you're looking for is alcohol.

Just, you want to get them like a beer. Just talking, I want her to. I want her to, yeah. Just get them like a couple beers. get him like a beer. Just stuck in. I want to get me. Yeah, just get him like a couple beers. Cool. Do you have a beer? Yeah, a heavy beer. You can have a beer.

Yeah, of course. So I need his a nightcap. He just give him a little nightcap. Call the, I've got something really healthy for you to cope with. OK. Just two molesins. Ah. I never thought about that. Her fridge is packed with all that's weird.

I think we're good, we don't need the hats. No, we still need the hats. The hats will take a couple more days. Of course. Okay, thank you very much. We will stop bothering you. Yeah, so I'll get wrapped up in the beta curtain. Yeah. Perfect. I polymorphim into a bird to fly away.

Good use of the potion. Sweet, yeah. Mima meets you guys kind of on the edge of town and gives you guys the potions. She gives you two polymorph potions that last an hour each. And this can give Saul the appearance of like a little dragon essentially.

Sweet. Big enough for a calltor to ride or no? No, like a hatchling. Oh, yay. Big enough for a calltor to walk. Yeah. You can ride my steed. Well, I could say I sort of already am.

I changed back into myself and I offer you the steed. A calltor mounts it very, very nervously. You know what I said, the stars are always bright as in the winter. You did say that. Add a serpent. Add a serpent. A serpent slithers along the ground.

Good serpent. Call her can't stop smiling. Yeah, the serpent, the serpent, like, hovers a little bit. It's not just slithering on the ground. It just kind of hovers through the woods, quickly going through the trees. Fuck, can I crack a beer?

Yeah. All done. It's almost been time. No, it's not medicinal. No. I was gonna take a nap. I was gonna take a nap. Did you ever prescribe them?

I was feeling drowsy. Sorry. Sorry. So you guys reach the edge of town I was feeling drowsy. Sorry. So you guys reach the edge of town and begin passing more of these scouting parties and Crick-Earth Rangers who are preparing to defend the Crick. And you guys kind of follow, you guys have that map that Elzor gave you, so you can kind of map out where the High Kings Fort is in relation to where you guys are right now. So you guys have to hike

for a while. You have to hike for like 10 miles. And then as you guys arrive near where you know the fort to be on the other side, go heading me perception or insight checks. Oh my god, this dies. 23. Seven. Okay, eight. Great. You guys arrive and see the same natural overgrowth that you see throughout most of the creek, but you also see these old stone walls and an old stone keep, they're massive. But they look like ruins or like they haven't been fully built yet.

And colder, I'll say with that kind of insight check, you're kind of reminded of the hollowed out reflection of the Colosseum that you guys saw, when you escaped Laverick's layer to the creek. And I think maybe you realize that the creek reflects the natural landscape of the living wood, but only very magical or powerful humanoid made stuff is reflected.

So the fact that this dude's fortress is showing up at the creek gives you an idea of just what a presence this must have on the other side. Oh, this is so sick. We can choose a strategic location and chug off oceans. Interest. So you guys also see a black cloud overhead and some light drizzling here. It is the weather is kind of like different around here. And I will say,

Mima would have communicated to you that it's going to be, there will be a spell cast and you guys will like flash into existence there. So if you climb into the castle or something like that and you are spotted, they will know who you are right away game over. So if anything, we might want to hike a bit away from this thing. Yeah, that's true.

So we'll pop up right inside the castle in front of somebody that shouldn't see us. How farmed is the castle in this world? Can we like, case it a little bit? Yeah. Like, lend the lay of the land. That's what I was thinking about. Culler, could you draw us a map? This is very clever. Yeah, you guys go in big massive great hall.

This has to be very big, obviously. It looks like it is built for the king. You see that the doors in here are not working. It's more of just like kind of open archways, letting in natural light as the sun is going down here, as it's kind of getting towards the end of the day. One doorway looks like it goes up like a giant chute that essentially goes to like a roost on top of the castle.

So it looks like the king can be on top of the castle, but also go inside and go down into the great hall. Roost chute. A roost chute. There's not only just a roost shoot, but there's a massive door that also leads deeper down into like a basement if you guys would like to explore that. Yeah, I wanna explore that and get the vibe of

if this is where a dragon would sleep. Great. Okay, that's an eight perception. Okay. I'm just using the cold stone to try and cool my passion down. 18, okay, six. Great. Colder, you kind of lead the way as you guys go down this stairwell.

Damn that mousen kick it in. I feel like everything's clicking. You can't just take medicine whenever you want. That's how much you can supposed to go find more medicine. You see that there is a dungeon down here. You kind of surmise that this is a dungeon because as you walk through this like labyrinthian path, there's like these hallways and then they open up and again, it's not one to one. Everything has been like transported over.

You see like broken down cells and you see some like rusted over bars and things like that and you also just get this feeling down here of just like misery. Like being down here is residual. It just makes you sad. So this is probably where Big Bear might be stored. Yeah. Oh, that's true. Oh, a room rock, my soul. Yeah, is it big enough for a dragon? Oh, yeah, that's a good, my soul. As you continue to walk,

this, it's kind of massive. It's, there's like a whole essentially, like, dungeon level under the castle. You see that there's an area that is, mostly looks like it would be, like, humanoid prisoners, like, humanoid-sized like cells. And then you go deeper and there are like bigger rooms

that look like they could get dragons. And how many points of entry are there to this dungeon area? Is it just this shoot? So it looks like there are two. It looks like there's one for humanoids to take to like just walk down the stairs through this regular archway You guys would have to do athletics checks or something if you want to see what happens if you jump down the rest of the like roost shoot

to get down there And then do we see like evidence of any Wiley prisoners who Doug their way out and there's like a little wormhole who dug their way out and there's like a little worm hole. No, there's no, again, it's not one to one. So all you're seeing is a... You're seeing an echo of it. So you're seeing something almost through,

like it looks like you're looking at it through like four windows or something like that. It's just like distorted, everything's a little bit off, and then it's got this kind of like a nature overtaking it. So are we thinking that we should try and materialize down here, and then just like free schrooom rot, and then go loud? That's why I wonder.

Yeah, I just, I mean, I feel like we can like, take the shortcut to get into where we wanna go. We might as well just show up there, and then if you're in costumes, and I'm dressed as a baby dragon, we can at least, we can have like a moment where we're able to pass without trace before they catch on. Yeah. It seems nuts to materialize in a cell,

but I feel like we have many ways to get out of one. It seems like there's crazy, and then there's crit crazy, and that seems like maybe the way to go here. What do you think, colder? It's a real, it's a real roll of the dice, because what if you're surrounded by people that are... But if he's in a cell, then they don't need to surround him, right? Possibly.

Although he could be being interrogated. That's true. The plan's crazy enough as it is. Right, you're right. Let's listen to me, Ma, and let's play this insane plan as safely as possible. Right. Conservative crazy, I love it.

Conservative crazy. Let's get a conservative. One beer crazy, not two beer crazy. That light, mulsing buzz. Like a mulsing mentality. So we know how to get to the dungeon. Yeah. we know how to get to the dungeon. Yeah. We know how to get to the dungeon.

Is there anything else? I mean, I think at this point, we see, we've got the lay of the land as much as we can. And we're not going to be able to know our point of entry until we see, until we have eyes on who's guarding it. Okay. Right. Then should we go up to like a hill and do our potion magic? That's good.

That's a great idea. Let's get like a little bit of a high spot with some cover. Just find like a nice cheeky little view of this incredible castle. Cool. Yeah, you guys go up to a hill. You see a view of the castle.

And I'll say you guys see this little mini storm over this reflection of the fortress. You can kind of time it with like a big lightning bolt or thunder or something like that if you want. Yeah, okay. Great. So you guys drink the potion, bottoms up. Take a step forward.

And the next step you take, there's a flash of green. And by the time your foot lands, you are back in the living wood stepping in thick mud. Shit! We should have gone in the fucking prison cell. Now my shoes are gonna be dirty. My boots are fucking cursed. No, we can work with this. Everyone just cover your body in mud. It's great. It is... I'll give anything to the... ...towrential down below. The sky is dark gray. The sun has just set. There are occasional flashes of white as lightning sparks through the clouds.

Everybody go ahead and give me perception checks as you look down to the fortress. Seven. 14, 22. Okay, you guys look down. War horns going off. They are, they're fucking kicking off into battle mode. You see blue dragons flying overhead

and battalions of blue dragon elves marching. And you catch sight of the fort. It's bigger than the other ones that you guys have come across. You guys see huge stone walls with towers. Some of them have these like big flaming beacons, shining lights on the gate in the rain. You see a smaller dragon roosts on the walls here. Right off

the bat, you see four young blue dragons on the walls. In front of the gate, you see a small bridge over a moat that rages like a river in the storm. That's how crazy the rain is coming down with mud sliding and moving like quick sand nearby. Beyond the wall, you can see the king's castle itself. Everything about it is enormous. The windows, the archways, everything needs to be able to accommodate this giant ancient dragon. It's a wide, wide building and with this tall perch on top.

And you guys see returning to the castle, you catch a glimpse of the king. You see he flies overhead casting a shadow in the storm. The rain briefly stops as he covers the sky above you. He's like a hundred feet long, to tail 85 foot between span us beaming with our crazy plan absolutely getting eclipsed by a huge dragon shop yes oh wow it's really cloudy tonight oh no this plan is feeling crazy you're crazy I don't think there's anything conservative about this I don't think we can play it away that That's even vaguely good serve it. Yeah, this is far left. You see, the storm seems to react to him sending more bolts of lightning and booms of thunder out of the sky as he gets closer before he finally purches atop his castle in the roost. See, he reaches his neck out, glares over his fortress for a moment, causing the blue elves

below to, they're trying to stay in like military formation and look professional, but they're kind of like staggering in fear, and he lets out a mighty roar of fury, and then looks to enter the castle through the roost chute and disappears. Can I just do a perception check to see if he has any scars on him?

Yeah, sure. Kind of hard to see from here, but. Okay, maybe I'll crit. I got a 17. A 17? He flew right over us. Yeah, I'll say that. I just feel like if there's a scar,

it means that that was a lasting mark, and that's somewhere that maybe. Yeah, I will say that you saw in the flash of lightning like a crack across his scales, across his face. Like he was slashed by another dragon. Okay. All right. It's always vulnerable in the face.

Right where all the teeth and fire are. Listen, we've got more grenades and we see nostrils. We're fine. Okay. So right now, I'll say, Calder's's kind of dressed up like a dragon mourn, got the cloak on, hunching a little bit, a little bit shorter than he would be, but just about as burly, Kally and-

I fold up my track jacket and my crochet bra because I've grown very attached to them. I put them away for safekeeping and I put on the blue dragon elf costume. 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 and 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 gonna 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.

That's birddogs.com slash pop-up or promo code pop-up for a free yety 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. So how do we want to play this? Should we try and fully sneak or do you think it's better to pretend like you found a lost baby in the woods and you're bringing it home or something like that? Here's what I wanted to do. Essentially we have to be social engineers, right? So I want to get within range so I can detect thoughts and all the people see what their surface

level thoughts are. Because I might get some gossip that way, in which case we'll have a little bit of ammo to be like, oh, do you hear it's taco Tuesday? They can't make tacos for shit here. Oh, like whatever. Yeah. Like find out what something. So I just want to get within 30 feet of a gaggle. Okay. Right. But how we get there. Sweet. I mean, you see out on this field, yeah, there's people marching in, people marching out. It looks like there's hunting parties, scouting parties as Glenn kind of revealed to you guys. They're out looking for Crick-Elves right now.

It doesn't seem like you're going to be like, you know, shot on site if you like, show up at the wall. They're not thinking they're about to get infiltrated. Yeah, they need their numbers right now. Yeah, okay. The weather and the mobilization are really working in our advantage, I think, here.

So, what sort of animal do you want to be? Well, it seems like a dragon, or a dragon nail, or a baby dragon, or something like that. I'm trying to think about all the sorts of beasts that would be living here. I realize I will get rid of this, Steve, because I'm not going in with fancy species. Oh, right, you're not going to go in with your serpent. of beasts that would be living here. I realize I will get rid of this deed because I'm not going in with fancy species.

Oh right, you're not gonna go in with your serpent. So I dismiss it from between folders like, oh, sorry. Like, tailbone. I'm so sorry. Oh, you spilled your beer. There's one more. That's an amazing thing. Yeah, I'll save it for good then.

So, Solid and Interest of not making it super complicated. I think it's just, if you take this polymorph potion, it will essentially just make you look more dragon-like. Like, you will just have salt stats, but will able to be able to like walk on all fours and look like you're a Drake companion or something like that. Oh, okay, cool.

Then I think I'll shed the potion and if we all want a brainstorm what my Drake name will be, then we can do that. Drake's manuals. Drake's manuals, yeah, you drink the potion and yeah, you feel your bones begin to crack as you begin to take on a Oh shit. So wait, do we give you the wrong potion?

Do we give it to disintegrate potion? You see the small, smooth rocks? Take the most in, take the most in, take the most in, take the most in, take the most in the get down scales. He gets little horns and he takes on the appearance of like a little blue dragon hatchling. Awesome. So, is that you and that? Yeah. We're gonna commit to that.

I'm sorry. The potion had a bit of a spicy flavor to it. How do I look? You look really, really cute. Cute. Okay. Okay. You went from hot to cute, but it's a lateral move.

I'll take it. It really is. You think these wings even work? Can I try them out? Yeah, you try them out. You're able to, very similar to your normal munkability, you're able to glide and slow fall. Nice.

Ooh, okay. I push them off. He breaks his legs and dies. Get me a moulson. There's only one left. We have to save the person. Do you guys want to use password out Trace or anything? Well, it's concentration and I want to use tech thoughts eventually. You guys do have the potion of password out Trace that we all gave you.

Okay, then let's use that. Sweet. You guys use password out Trace. I check the bottle to see if there's adverse effects to drinking two potions at the same time. Yeah, death. Okay. Their character dies. My horns have hives. Let's use the Pass Without Trace to fit in rather than sneak. Yeah, if there's a lot of hustle and bustle, I think maybe just identifying a door that we want to go through and waiting for like a group of people to go Yeah, really like walking confidently with this is crazy

Do we want to go to that great hole? It's in that how we get to the dungeon. Yeah, the great hall. Yeah, I mean, I imagine that's the room that holds the most people There's gotta be people just Just kind of yeah like find like a flow of human traffic great and then like follow behind sweet Um, so you guys see um that yeah the gates are open. There seem to be a flow of human traffic. Great. And then like follow behind. Sweet. So you guys see that, yeah, the gates are open. There seem to be a lot of moving troops. There are blue dragon-born pikemen at the gates here,

waving and kind of returning scout parties. You guys pop this past without trace potion and you guys use it to kind of blend in. And you do see that amongst the comings and goings of all these different troops and everything, you see a 12 person scouting party. I say person, there's dragons in it too. There's like a couple of drakes that are being mounted. There's a young blue dragon at the head of it and they are going into the gate right now.

So I'll licks both of his eyes with his lizard tongue. Great. And does a beautiful waddle forward. OK, yeah, let's kind of join the tail end of this. Sweet, go ahead and give me a stealth check. And we'll do group stats. So two of you have to pass. A crit, baby.

Right. Awesome. This is with plus 10. Yes. With a crit, that's 41. Oh my god. I got a got a 23 but with pass without trace Do I still have to roll with this advantage? I'm gonna say that the armor thing is for trying to not be like heard I think if you're just trying to blend in you don't have to do your stealth check with disadvantage

22 okay, so you guys are able to successfully join this throng of this returning scouting party that's going back. But they do look grim like something did not go their way. Guys moving in, guys moving out, a lot of movement here, rain coming down, a lot of chaos, the dragonborn guards are kind of just letting people in. So as this is happening, can I stand behind colder and so on due detect thoughts? So I'm like hearing the surface level thought,

so I find out what went wrong or whatever the surface thought. You cast detect thoughts and everyone is nervous, especially the young dragon in the front that you keep hearing this word failure, failure. And even with just surface level thoughts, you get the message that they failed to find any voidels. But you do see that some of them are clutching bloody masks from other orders, like white masks from cold elves,

a couple of masks from the green elves and stuff. It seems like these guys are going in a face of the king. And they're essentially gonna go to him and be like, hey, we killed all these people, but we didn't find any void elves. That's the sense you're getting. Do we wanna be a part of that party? That's what I wonder.

I think that we should step a little bit back and take a fucking smokey. But I take out my vape. It's sweet. You guys spill up. You see a dragonborn vape in your bag. I've got his medicine and I've got mine. And Drake's vape.

Yeah, you guys are kind of left out on the steps here of the castle. There is more fortress, but you see there's more nights over to the side. You're seeing a lot of a dragonborn here and you're seeing forces like moving in and out. You see there's a barracks nearby. You see there's towers with more dragons in them. How would you guys like to proceed? I want to go to the barracks and hear like what they're thinking there. That seems like a good place to detect some thoughts. Yeah. Oh, interesting. Sweet. Yeah, you you guys do a loop around and kind of walk around the outside. And yeah, you hear

thoughts of people panicking. Like it does not seem like there's a lot of people with great reverence for the king. It's all fear. It's all just, we need to deliver for the king. We need to deliver for the king. Just a lot of fear of going to war. It's just a lot of going to war. Oh my God, whoa.

So it seems like they didn't find a void elf, but I guess we don't know if any of the other battalions have. Right. But I guess like,'t know if any of the other battalions have. Right? But I guess like, wouldn't you kind of be like, oh, if they're panicking this much about not finding a void elf, it means that the demand is high. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So if they have Big Bef, that is an important piece of the puzzle. Yeah, but that means that Big Bef probably hasn't broken it, which is good. So I think we need to get away to get into the dungeon, right? Right. Yeah. That's the move. I think we need to find, we need to find our most powerful ally. I think we need room, right? Yeah, that's what I was thinking. All right. Do you think we're going to be able to just like lull us into the dungeon? Khaled, do you think you could like read the name of someone that works down there and say we're taking their shift or something? Yeah, I mean, can I drop around to tech thoughts like here?

Totally, go ahead and get anyone's. Give me a perception check with advantage. Hey, Kale, can you detect my thoughts real quick? Oh, yeah, yeah, I can do that. Okay, Saul thinks you got this. Okay, that's a six and a five, but were you saying that I have guidance? I said you got this, but actually, but yeah, so see we have guidance. Oh, okay, I know that's what you're doing.

Oh, you got that for though. Okay, that team. 13? Yeah, I mean, you can assume that this is where a lot of the nights who work in the dungeon bunk essentially. So yeah, you hear, it's just surface thoughts. So you do hear people saying that they need to go for their shift as a card in the dungeon. You see two guys leave the barracks

and begin walking towards the Great Hall. God, do we fucking mug them? Yeah, dude. Do we mug them or just say that we're gonna take their shift and they've been relieved? I chuck the full mall safe for them. The back of what they're at. Okay, let's go up to them.

Hey, what's up? Here's the deal. Here's the deal. Here's the deal. Okay, I have to tell you something. What's up? I have to tell you something. We're in the living wood.

We're going down. We're trying to find what else we have. No, and some of us are responding to the war by acting out, will they won't face that they never had, and I just heard a call there. Look, the two of us, we are looking to have a romantic get away. Okay, we're trying to have a trist by. Okay, so, but I booked, I booked a bed and breakfast for tomorrow. So I'm asking, can we cover your shifts tonight so that we can get away and really work out all our feelings before we go to

wall and dive for the king. You want to go down in the dungeons tonight? Yeah, we want yeah. because we need tomorrow off. Yes, so will you take our shifts tomorrow? We have a lot to work through. What? There's a lot to unpack. What? Give me a persuasion check with the bandit.

Persuasion? Persuasion with disadvantage. Okay, I have to tell you, I'm going to activate my emissary of peace. Woo! tell you, I'm going to activate my emissary of peace. Ooh, that's a redemption pallet, and I can add five to any persuasion role. So I activate that. I'm going to brush up against her leg and give her guidance again. Great. Like a cat just like rubbing itself.

Yeah, emissary of peace. As a bonus action, you grant yourself plus five bonus to charisma persuasion checks for the next 10 minutes. Awesome. Okay, got it. I'm gonna go with the 12 with this advantage, but my persuasion is eight. It comes a 30-20 plus my five from my MSR. And guidance is a 25 plus two from guidance. Do you want me to send it? 27? God, yeah, this dude definitely really fears the king and really fears his bosses and everything and goes,

okay, well, you know, I don't wanna get the wave of anything, guys, or try to go. Yeah, so you get up the night off. It's okay. And but you have to cover us tomorrow. That was me have to see this through. And the jailers specifically told you this was okay. Yeah, I got it cleared.

Okay. You know who I got it cleared with. Okay. If you're sure, you gotta want to get murdered. You're not. Okay, okay. This isn't about you right now. Yeah, it's about us working through a fucking backlog

of sexual tension. Ah, a lot to unpack, a lot of baggage. You've got a little drink, and it sounds kinda like a done. It's complicated. Yeah, yeah. OK. He's acting up because we're acting up.

All right. Some nudges them together. He's sort of like Sebastian to our Ariel and Eric. I get it. I get it. I really do. They do a musical number that explains it all. I go on.

Now it's probably not the time. All right, so you've got dungeon duty, all dungeon duty. You've got a fucking hate dungeon duty. We're happy to take it. But you do have to take off tomorrow. Yeah, all right, what's your duty tonight? No, we're off tonight.

Yeah, you're off? What do you mean off? We're in a... Well, I mean, we're training. Training feels like off when you're in a wall time. Right, right. Exactly. All right. Um, yeah, fuck it, okay.

We'll mind you getting the wave of young love. Thanks for saying I'm young. You see these two dragonborn turn around and walk back towards the baris. Wow. And to think we were gonna kick their asses. I think I just felt like if we kick their asses, we'd have to absolutely kill them. That's fair. And then a two dead bodies might show up. So I'll activate his visage so we can say, you didn't kick their asses, you thrilled their asses.

That beautiful performance. I finally a theater kid. Let's go to the dungeon. Yeah, to the dungeon. Yeah. Sweet. Did we see name tags or anything? They did not have name tags on.

Oh, this is not, it's not target. Okay, it's not target. No, it's not target. Okay, can I do it? What's more like Best Buy because the blue theme totally down. Okay, let's just go in confidently. Okay Best Buy because the blue theme totally doesn't. Okay, let's just go in confidently. All right, yeah.

Two people have to work tonight. Yeah, sweet. Go ahead and give me a new stealth check. So as you guys walk into the great animal. Once again, they serve stealth checks to like blend it. 22, 25, actually 37. Wait, that's so bad. Wildly awesome.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. That's a 25 plus 10s of 35. There you go. 23 plus 10 becomes that E3. Okay. Yeah. No, you guys are good. You guys are blended.

You guys walk past these two dragonborns that are standing outside of the castle. They don't even look at you, but you do kind of clock that they look nervous. They're kind of just looking forward wide eyes as you hear the ending of a roar coming from the king. On the inside you guys find a massive great hall. Cold and damp, large windows displaying the cracking lightning outside, brazers at the base of pillars that shoot up to the massively high ceilings. You see torches lining the walls.

There are water stained banners throughout. Blue with white trim and a crest of a dragon's head breathing lightning. And standing there, taking up almost half of the great haul is the king himself. Massive glistening blue scales, eyes of red that flicker in the torchlight, like lightning, bolts of power radiate through him. Each breath sends a cold chill through the castle, like wind through a cave. And you see that the Blue Elf scouting party that you guys had followed in past the Fortress Gates have all

been roasted, have all been hit with like lightning breath. You see that they are all just smoking on the ground. You see that with like a final bite finishes crunching on the young blue dragon that he has just eaten whole. We almost went in with them. Callie that vapes saved our life. Vapes are good. Yeah, the detect thoughts and insight check were pretty key too. I'm not getting caught up with those guys. But you do see that there are people for you guys to blend in with. There are blue dragon elves servants and guards and blue masks rushing around and doing the King's bidding.

Just kind of pretending that this didn't happen, just kind of cleaning it up, like people rushing to kind of clean up the mess. And everybody go ahead and give me your perception checks. Gorgeous. 21. 19. 17.

You guys notice amongst all the blue elf servants and everything, somebody that looks like an advisor to the king. She looks to be a half dragon, this sort of blue dragon humanoid hybrid. She wears like a wizard robe and is resting her weight on a staff. And she's got a strange circle it on her head that connects kind of like wires into her scales. And you see little like bolts coming out of them and what looks like electrodes essentially and you

see she is speaking to the king and with your pretty high perception checks you hear the king as he turns around and is walking towards these two big doors that presumably take him down deeper into the lair. He goes, I will be in my quarters. Rouse me when there is good news. Um, and- All right.

Okay. The um, you know where he's bad is. Uh, the wizard looks up at him and goes, Of course, you're grace. Um, we do have one void elf in the dungeons. He claims to not be one of the gatekeepers, but I'm confident we can get him to cooperate. Big bath.

Big bath. Okay. You see these massive doors open as the king walks through, and they close, and meanwhile you see this wizard goes down a smaller archway nearby. Let's follow her. Yeah, but we also just look like we're going to meet up with people with her pose. A casual, you know, not a true follow. Yeah, she just so I can show you us the way. We're like, you know, stopping for coffee on our way in a couple of things. If we make eye contact, we give her like a deferential, I know you're higher ranking than me. I don't know if I'm allowed to say hello to you. Look.

Got it. Yeah, you see, she goes and walks ahead. And you guys walk down this dark staircase into this Labyrinthian dungeon. And beyond the archway, you can see cells and cages along the walls with rusty iron bars. And you can just glimpse prisoners tightly packed in. And there are some other blue half dragon guards in plate patrolling the area.

These look like more elite guards down here. Go ahead and roll the D4 to see how many are down here. You got it. Four is bad. One. One. That's great. You guys lucked out on the roll.

There's just one half dragon guard down here, but you do see that there is a blue burly dragonborn jailer with a spiked shield and a spear at his side leaning against a wall at the end of the hallway. You see the half dragon wizard nods to him as she passes, then she turns down a different corridor. As you guys enter the archway, I'll say you guys can kind of like hang in the shadows

for a moment if you want to decide your next move. Actually, go ahead and give me a perception check. Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah, 21. 21 as well. Okay, yeah, 11. You do see, you catch glimpses of some deep

elves in the cells here, down here, and you hear sounds of like roaring deep in the distance. You hear people talking and people yelling and people screaming. There's a lot of noise down here, and then you do see again, big, burly, dragon born is kind of like at a corner, and then it looks like there's more kind of labyrinth to go down. But you've got these cages right here, this half dragon guard right here, and then one guy further down.

Okay, all right. I mean, do we just say we're covering what here to relieve them of the post? Yes, we give it a shot. And if anything goes bad, then I think we have to take them out, right? Because then this is maybe as far as we go. Okay. We just start setting people free and hopefully eventually we can outnumber people at the end of the

lab. Yeah, can we take a quick look at the locks? Do they look complicated or do they look like we get the locks? The locks here don't look super complicated. It looks like you could bust them up, but it might take a little bit of time. Gotcha. Okay. Alright, so we're going to try it might take a little bit of time, gotcha. Okay. All right, so we're gonna try to get on these guys good side.

Worth a shot. Great. Okay. Hey, we're here. Right. You see, I... I'm smile, this has been a great move. I spit on the floor.

The jellar does kind of a double take. Who the fuck are you guys? We're covering a shift. Covering a shift? I didn't fucking approve anything. Yeah, well, you can go take it up with the king. I'm not taking it up with fucking anybody. I'm your goddamn boss.

Hey, just because we as employees helped to other employees out, doesn't mean you need to take it out on us. You never talk with them Actually, I'm fucking does they're gonna murder me for this Get in line actually we're gonna murder you Everybody roll initiative actually we're gonna murder See that's 10 for me. 19 for Kaleia Pay. 28.

Wow, for Drake's manuals. All right, at initiative 28, that is Saul. There's no surprise around. Instantly, this was combative. It was instantly, who the fuck are you? Where the guys at? Where am I guys? Saul is going to go from being on all fours as a little Drake to standing up.

Oh, dude, vommets. What the fuck? It looks like a Komodo dragon just standing up and preparing to punch you. It's not right. It's not right. You're gonna get punched by a dragon. Yeah, and I'm just gonna try and swaggering strike this person. Sweet, go ahead cool

12 is gonna miss 12 is gonna miss a big meaty hand just grabs your fist Please these just heal Fuck 13 is gonna miss grabs your other hand. What are we dancing here? It's all gonna jump in the air and try and whip them with his tail. Sick. I'm going to do a Florian blows. Nice. There we go.

19, 19 hits. There we go. That's one. And then 23. So those both hit. Yep. 16 damage. 16 damage.

And then we'll try and do a stunting strike. Okay. Makes a con-saving throw. Yes. That is a 19. So passive. Yes. Okay. You see, yeah, this dude is a super burly, a con saving throw. Yes. That is a 19. So passive. Yes. You see, yeah, this dude is super burly, big dragonborn.

You punch with one hand, even with your big meaty fist, and he grabs it. He grabs the other fist. You jump up, you slap him in the face twice with the tail. His neck snaps back, a little bit of blood comes out, but he just sort of grins and bears it and prepares to attack. Okay, you can let me go now. No. No time off. You're a bad boss. This is animal cruelty.

Kalipe, that's your turn. I'm going to take out my luck blade and also my icicle dagger. Okay. I'm gonna go after him Does a 17 hit 17 does hit. Oh, it does okay great. Okay, I'm going to do a flourish Okay, and a third level smile So I add seven to my a6. Oh my god Yeah, Callie you are um, you see, Kali's doing like complicated sword forms, basically like fencing forms that are making it very hard to hit her. Full T1 damage. Yes. Kali gets up and just stabs him in the chest. That's right. It was a breakout no

If I say I'm covering a shift I'm covering a ship And then I'm gonna use my bonus action to try to hit him again great Okay, he looks quite hurt, but again. He's he's pretty sturdy that time I think I'm gonna miss it's only a 12 okay He manages to get his shield. He has grabbed his shield and his spear. Okay. After Kaliapi, that is the half dragon guards turn. So you see, the blue dragonborn guy

looks like a little bit of a tougher fighter, but is wearing leather armor. This other guy's wearing plate, but maybe does not look as burly, comes over and tries to attack you guys with a sword. But first, is going to yell for help down the hallway and see if anybody hears. I almost took my turn to cast silence and fall back. So what I'm going to do with that, I will roll in front of you guys.

It's just a raw persuasion check. 15 or higher, and we're going to have some new baddies in the battlefield. Shit. That's a 10. You hear as... 15 or higher and we're gonna have some new baddies battlefield shit That's a ten you hear as Idiot as this guy is yelling for help the deep elves in the cages nearby start yelling over him Like a soccer game Try not your enemy. Yes, but your own song This dude is going to go ahead and take some cracks at I'm gonna say

Saul because the Cal he is fuck you. What are you doing? Call a char this is a workplace dispute you smack my boss with your tail the ultimate sign of disrespect back Oh, you like your boss. I love him He's awesome. He allows no time off He misses with the cloak of displacement I love him. He's awesome. He allows no time off. He misses with the cloak of displacement, then he's going to take a second attack. Okay. God can't hit for shit.

That's a 15 on the second attack misses. So this guy misses twice, colder that's your turn. Sweet. I tried to hit a reptile before it's hard. I step out from behind, salt shadow. Yeah, to catch a Salomon. Yeah, I rip out the Sword Hilton call the Ice Blade, and I'll take two attacks on the Tatl Tail. Great, I got it.

You see the Tatl Tail looks at you and turns to the Jailer and goes, he's using ice powers, roll his supposed use lightning powers. Thanks, Dave. You guys are such losers. He's using ice powers, Rolly's supposed to use lightning powers. Thanks, Dave. You guys are such losers. You're a loser. Oh, company men.

Dave, I think you need time off. That's an 18 to hit Dave and a 27 to hit Dave. Both of them. Disregal to some Davenaxias. We don't talk about them. 31 damage to Dave. Dave instantly looks very hurt. Dave damage. Not nearly as tough as the Jailer here.

Then in that case, I'll use my bonus action to tell Saul to try to hit him with your fist again. I'll use the helm of Ultras to command an ally to make an attack. Yesssss. What is this feeling? Uh, Calder, this feels weird. Yeah, yeah. I can hear him, I can hear him.

Just go with it. Okay. I'm actually like pretty worked up. Hail, Trace. What does she say? Cali says hi. Oh, Taylor, I said hey. Jeez, I think Cali is warming up to her. Cali, he does sound hot. I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said I got him at this point. Sweet. So let's get a free attack. Yeah, go ahead and make an attack, guys.

You'll have to make it again. You're up with the dragonborn, right? The dragonborn, yeah. Okay. So the Jailer. I'll just bite him. Oh, what the hell, man? Ah, didn't expect that, did you?

23 to hit. Hits. Okay. Nice. That is six damage. Let's go ahead and do one more stunning strike just for free. All right, let's try it. I pass this. Okay. Nice. That is six damage. Let's go ahead and do one more stunning strike, just for five. Alright, let's try it.

I pass this. Okay, 23. That's enough of that. Yeah. Sweet. Okay, after that, that is the jailer's turn. The jailer, God, isn't a tough position. Can't hit any of you guys.

But is going to, I guess we'll try to hit Sol. Sol just try it. Sol just bit him. Oh! Oh! He's just bit him. Oh! Oh! He's just really upset. Wow! Dragon Tards was to bite each other, man!

Oh! Okay, even with this advantage, he does manage to hit. So he hits with a spear, 15 damage to you. Okay, as soon as I get hit, my scarf wraps around his arm and like ignites, and I'm gonna use Hellish Rebuke. Sick. Yeah, you light him up, go ahead and roll your 1d10. I think they need to make a deck save.

Got it, okay. Deck save unfortunately is a pass, he's pretty dangerous. Is it 2d10? It's 2d10, so I think it takes half on a fail. Oh yeah, okay. So that's nine damage. You light your scarf on fire, wrap it around him. You see it goes into his scales You're using fire powers. You're using ice powers. This is a against our whole vibe down here

Don't worry. I can do lightning are we I don't we're all from the same company guys Go on vacation Sorry, we're innovators, we're disruptors. No, no, the king is the disruptor. We work for the king, he's a genius. This gladiator continues. Only 15 hit on the next one is gonna miss. Kick, and then it's going to crit on the line.

Protection Paladin. Okay, rolls with disadvantage, Talie. A nice spectral umbrella comes out. Pops out the spectral umbrella, moves his sword slightly to the left. With a reroll, that is a 19 head. This is. Oh damn.

You look 28 C now? Yeah, because I get to have my wisdom and have a plus one bracer. I was gonna say you gave that to him. I mean, Saul, you hold up your hands and you block by like puffing up your forearms. Sick. After the jailer, that is back up to you, Saul.

Okay. So I'm still being held. I think my arms are still like, he's still like scrapping with me a little bit. Yeah, you guys are fighting back and forth. Okay, yeah. I'm just gonna keep going after this jailer then. Okay, I've got some big ideas for this company

You got to work your way up man. How about I work my way up your face and I'm going to 13 is gonna miss but it it's 27, it'll probably miss. Yeah, it'll do it. That is going to be 11 damage. Okay. And then, oh, I use my bonus action to actually activate my fist, so there's gonna be like a shock wave from that. Cool.

So that'll be another deck save. Got it. Passes, I'm sorry. They don't even take half for that, so yeah, just jumps out of the way. Yeah, just make my arms big. Ah, what do you think about that? I said I had big ideas. Pretty, pretty cool.

Is that like a pawn or something? Unfortunately, yes. Sweet, after Saul, that's Kaliope's turn. So I'll just go after this big guy. The jailer, got it. That's definitely gonna hit us. Okay, so I'm just gonna do a first level, so open times my... 21 damage.

Callie finished this jailer. Yes. We both just want with best for the company, right? You need a fucking vacation. A permanent hiatus. Unpaid. I think I'm just going to knock him out till tomorrow. So I think I can wake up and take a vacation.

It's crazy. OK. Just a little coma. Sweet, yeah, you bash him in the head. And he cracks his head against the wall and falls on the ground of bleeding. And then I have a second attack with my icicle dagger. Great, yeah, this other half dragon looks nervous.

Okay. He's getting ready to tell on people. 27 to hit. 27 to hell. I'm gonna do another first level smile. Great. 19 damage on him. Callie finished this guard.

Oh, hell yeah. Okay. I do the same thing so they can wake up tomorrow in each other's arms. You bash both of these dudes. They both go down and they crash in the hallway here. I put a pink slip in each of their pockets. You're lucky you weren't fully terminated.

That's rummage for keys. Oh, yes. Go ahead and give me investigation checks. 12. A flat tin. Okay, 23. Hey, go. Yeah, you guys go through.

You see the jailer has several rings of keys and call there, I'll say that you're quickly able to kind of surmise which key would go with sort of the lower level security stuff around here. Like these specific cages right here. And yeah, you see all of these deep elves. A lot of them are in rags. Most of them still have like their visors on that are like kind of like glowing in the night here.

And you see a lot of them look like beat up, like maybe they've been like tortured or something. They're up against like the bars and stuff and they're like, who sent you guys? Who's out of you on? We're friends of Elzor's. like beat up like maybe they've been like tortured or something, they're up against like the bars and stuff and they're like, who sent you guys? Who's out of you on? We're friends of Elzor's. Yeah. The Protect Zelzor. Yes. Elzor sent you. Not technically.

Okay, cool, yeah that's fine. Yeah, whatever you got. Okay, yeah. I'm just gonna unlock the door. Sweet. I'll say go ahead and give me a pure luck check. Go ahead and roll a D20 to see if you guys hear anyone coming. Mm-hmm.

Six. Six. Okay. You guys hear from down the hall, it sounds like more guards are coming. Okay. Okay, let's, the doors unlock now. Maybe you stay in here. Do you guys want to come in here with us?

Yeah, let's hide in here. Oh, yes, we, um, you guys, uh, go ahead and give me a, um, I'll say, sleight of hand first, these people's, uh, decks as they come down the stairs. When we go in, can we drag the bodies in to like a shadowy part of the cell? Yeah, great, okay, so you drag the bodies in, press ourselves up against the wall, right? Yeah, yeah. You guys go hop into the cells as they go down the stairs and you are trying to race to get into this cage. OK.

Ooh, dirty 20. OK. They do not beat a 20. These two guards come down. You've recognized the two guys that you had relieved. Still came into work anyway, because everyone's very scared around here. So you see they come down. they kind of look around, confused, not seeing the jailer

or the other guards, but don't really ask questions. Just walk deeper into the labyrinth, make like a right around the corner, and continue to walk down. I want to ask one of the deep bills. I imagine that's where Shroomrot is, further down. They've taken all of the dragons and brought them deeper into the dungeon. Okay, I'm gonna eat Shroomrot and then maybe like four or five young dragons and like a dozen warmlings. That's a good arsenal. Oh yeah. Very good to hear. Okay. Yeah. How many guys have you seen walk past this way deeper into the

Lapin? There's gotta be a few dozen down here. There's young blue dragon. There's the inquisitor as well, the wizard. Oh, with the headband. They walk down a different path, right? They're just deeper in the dungeon. Okay. They have an office. They torture people. They bring them in and they use like some kind of electrical psychic thing to get into your brain waves to make you give up secrets. Okay. Well, they've been using, they've been torturing Schrumrod. We've heard him from down the hall. All right. Well, we want to, we want to save him. Yeah, we want to rescue him. Great. We'll help as much as we can, but a lot of us have been kept up. We don't have our weapons with us, but yeah, you guys look around. Can I kick the weapons from the two people that we held to them, can we give them like some potions to help like bring up their vitality a little bit

Maybe improve our chances of them aiding us you can there's there's dozens of them though I mean, I feel like we need every aid we can get right? Yeah, I mean how many potions do we have? By my count 18 so I think we got a couple to spare foster you here Wow, you are very good at hiding. Foster comes from around the corner. So I say we just give them like 10 to 15 of our potions, give them to like their leader,

and that person can dole them out. So let's go into there. I'll say you guys hand over like 10 potions. Yeah. There are, you know, it was this entire outpost. So there are children, there are old people, there's a bunch of people here who probably can't fight. Kolda, can you give like a wall speech to the children

to get them sucked about battle? Kolda chucks the mullsins. Burps live, literally. I hate that. Do you guys need those to be strong, mister? Yeah. Kolda smiles and crushes them, listen. That's his medicine.

Saul, as a Lister, standing on his hind legs, laughs loudly. Kids look confused. Sweet, yeah, I'll say you guys take this time. You go around. There are a few who are hurt, where maybe like brought in and like tortured or something, they start giving them the potions, they give the potions to sort of like the old people and the children and everything.

But you do see that a few of the warriors that look like a little bit hardier, go to you guys and go, we'll leave some people back here to protect our wounded, but some of us can come with you. Okay, yeah, you divvy up however you see fit. All right, let's do it. Let's get you in the run. Okay, yeah, you divvy up however you see fit. All right, let's do it. Let's get true and rod.

Yeah, yeah, you see one of them grabs the spear from the fallen jailer. Another one grabs a sword and finds like a dagger on the half dragon. Other guys just like grab like rocks or sticks or whatever they can grab down here and begin following behind you. Sweet.

Take the uniforms too. I know they're very bloody. Sweet, yeah, they take the two uniforms. And stand as if they're like standing guard near the other ones. The sick and the hurt ones stay behind in the cages, but the cages are secretly open. And some of the warriors follow you guys in, will you swarm stats for them,

but I've got a swarm of deep elves with you. Follow you guys as you sneak down this dark corridor. Let's get to it. Come on, swarm. So as you guys reach the corner that the jailer was guarding, you guys see pathways to the left and pathways to the right. To the left, you see an iron door. No window on it or anything, it's just down. You see protecting it, there is some kind of arcane barrier. In fact, you kind of like here,

like a buzz of electricity, as you pass it, and the hairs on your arm stand up as you go near it. And on the right, you see that the hallway opens up again to accommodate more cells, You see that the hallway opens up again to accommodate more cells. And you see that there's another one of these locked doors as well that looks like it has some kind of electric energy on it and beyond that, that the path continues down the hallway. You think one of these rooms is the interrogation chamber? Maybe.

Yeah. There's no window on this electrified door. No. I mean, we have keys. Do we have any keys that look like they would go with these electrified doors? Callder, you look at the keys and there is a keyhole on the iron door and it does look like you do have a key that would fit it.

Can callder just kick my spear over towards the door to see if anything happens when you touch it. Poke your spear over into the door. First of electricity, like an electric bolt, like a lightning bolt comes out from the door and blows it up. Cool. I like that thing. Any saw of switch. You do not see a switch. I think we might need to double back here once we have whatever is on top of that wizard's head.

Oh, I see. That's what she uses to pass through. Maybe. Okay. Yeah, you do see one of the deep elves, the one you've been talking to the most, who's kind of been the leader, seems like she still has a lot of vitality to her,

who's kind of leading the warriors. She says her name is Velira You call me Val. Hey Val You see, yes, she looks at the door and she goes I I've seen the inquisitor use some kind of electrical power So there's a good chance that yes, she's controlling whatever's whatever barriers Okay, yeah, they really love their electrical theme here. They love it. They're obsessed with it. Yeah. They get really mad when anyone goes on.

It says, what is electricity so important? Okay, okay. So I guess we just, we keep on going down the hallway. We take our whole valve down the hallway. As you guys go down the right, you begin to walk past cells. Most of the cells here are empty, but then you do see another one of these doors that has iron door lock magnetic field around it, and vowel points to it and goes,

that's the inquisitors office. Oh, and beyond the inquisitors little area, you do see that one of the cages is occupied. You see that there is an elf leaned up against the bars, long black hair with a goatee, like a black goatee, bruised face, dirty looks like maybe he's been tortured, and nearby Torchlight is sort of flickering off of his yellow eyes. And you see he kind of looks up dazed and sees the deep elves and sees you guys.

Makebeth. You see his very tired eyes suddenly twinkle and he opens up a big grin with several teeth missing, and he nods and that's where we'll end our session. Oh, a happy ending for one. Wow, man. We are in it. We guys are deep in a way, certainly. Sweet guys, you can listen to us talk about this more over on our short rest patreon.com slash nad pod that's n-a-d-d-p-o-d don't sing. Yeah.

Don't do it. don't shoot it. Okay. Sweet guys, yeah, does anybody have anything they'd like to plug? I have a big announcement, actually. What's that? Our show in Boston has sold out, but we have added another show the next day on Sunday. Oh. It is not folks an actual play episode, but it is our first ever live dungeon.
