Welcome to the campaign after the campaign. This is not another D&D podcast. Welcome back to Bahumya, everyone. Bahumya.

Bahumya. I'm your Dungeon Master Brian Murphy joined by Jake Herwitz. Hard one, sure foot. Emily Axford. Moonchan, Sabin. Light Sleeper and Crit Keeper. Hi. Hi.

And of course, called a whal Tanner. Ha ha ha ha ha. Beverly Toggle, the fifth. A lot of six and 10, who's no friend to horsemen. Oh. very good. Thank you. Do I get a bark? Oh, yay!

Oh, you get a howl. You get a little pup. What is that? I'll take it. You get that boy adopted. Yeah, boy adopted. Mm-hmm. Get that yapper adopted.

That's gross. Anyway, we're're gonna segue into, we've got a couple of dogs for adoption. Yeah. Anyway, Moonshine died last week. Let's all go. Yeah. Guys, let's do a little recap.

So last week, you guys battled the race on the pale horse death incarnate while avatars of death wreaked havoc on the city of Gladehome. Moonshine was able to contact Papa across planes who woke a gwayne, the two sprang into action against the spectral reapers. During the melee, a few floated away to sneak up on Lucana while he tranced alone in his chambers, but Peepa Luke was able to sense their presence and blew them away with a cone of cold. Yeah, I love it. Oh, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Are we gonna do this?

We can't, we simply cannot keep doing this. We simply cannot keep doing this. I deeply apologize. From the bottom of my teeny heart. You have a teeny heart? Yeah, I'm wrong, my core. My tiny little puppy dog heart. Right, right.

We're all little puppies. I don't break my heart, my tiny little heart. Ha, ha, ha. Let us blow off Steve Dab. Yeah, we're a shadow fell. Oh, come on. Meanwhile, in Shadow fell, things were going well until death cast Powerward Kill on Munchine

dropping her immediately. The rest of the boobs finished off death then set to work reviving moonshine with Bebs revivify. After a nat one death saved nearly perma killed moonshine, a follow up nat 20 brought her back to life. Everyone bark, you got it. The dogs love it. Oh! Oh, I remember my name. Oh. The dogs love it. The dogs are loving it.

Honestly, really, who did let the dogs out? Yeah, who let the dogs out? The boobs rejoiced as moonshine spit up anti-life matter. Then everyone got back to the task at hand, finding Lydia Stormborn, moonshine cast transmute rock, and turned the fallen debris of Deep Hollow into mud, allowing you to slide deeper into the mines. Please scrumpt. You scrumpt. Once there, you located Lydia's cursed sword, and freed her from it, Lydia revealed

that she had opened a Plainar Gate to Shadowfell, during the destruction of Iron Deep, saving King McGannis, and hundreds of other dwarves in the process. However, as Rocks began to rain down from the crumbling mountains, she was forced to banish herself and everyone else into her sword to save them from being crushed. Once you freed her, she was able to free the other dwarves from her sword, including King McGannis. The dwarves were safe, but obviously freaked out and began screaming after suddenly appearing in a cave full of ghosts.

And that is where we are now. Oh, what the fuck, oh, this is going to be what comes out everywhere. All right. I get a bunch of blankets out for people. Just like start wrapping people up. You start wrapping people up in space blanket, you know, astral blanket.

I'm passing out bagels. I start passing out bagels. You got a car bump, everybody. There's a car bump and calm down. I get a fire going messy. What sort of critters? Yeah, I can jumble out yeah, you see that there is this instant panic, but then Lydia raises her sword and she goes Enough you see that all of the ghosts that were floating around like all of the blue ghosts floating around, like all of the blue ghosts flock to the blade and they warp their shape and turn into tiny balls of energy. And then you see as she swings the sword down, they all disperse and the ghostly energy goes

into the crowd of dwarves, like each ball goes into a different dwarf and just freezes them there in place. Oh, that's right, I thought that mom. Everyone quiets down and Lydia just goes just for now, just until we can talk things out. No, that was very reasonable. It's been impressive. You're the coolest mom.

You're a cool two son, puts an armor on you. I hide a tear. My mom would just count to ten when she was angry. I don't have a tear on me. I spit on you. Is she rassing you I'm just counting ten when she was angry. I'm just counting ten when she was angry. I'm just counting ten when she was angry. I'm just counting ten when she was angry. I'm just counting ten when she was angry. I'm just counting ten when she was angry.

I'm just counting ten when she was angry. I'm just counting ten when she was angry. I'm just counting ten when she was angry. I'm just counting ten when she was angry. I'm just counting ten when she was angry. I'm just counting ten when she was angry. I'm just counting ten when she was angry. I'm just counting ten when she was angry.

I'm just counting ten when she was angry. I'm just counting ten when she was angry. I'm just counting ten when she was angry. I'm just counting ten when she was angry. I'm just counting ten when she was angry. I'm just counting ten when she was angry. I'm just counting ten when she was angry. I'm just counting ten when she was angry.

I'm just counting ten when she was angry. I'm just counting ten when she was angry. I'm just counting ten when she was angry. I'm just counting ten when she well as a few of her shadow guard who she brought along. There are a few skeletal knights in various forms of decay, wearing black armor, as well as a few like shadowy rates who are wearing, they kind of just look like floating armor. And finally, you guys see Bev Senior appears from behind a crowd of panicked dwarves. He's got he looks like he did in the Feywild, but more dead. He's got like his skinned pale and he's got the

white beard that he used to have, but he looks to have his faculties about him. He's not like taken over by hell. He effectively died when he sold his soul, but now he's in Chattelfel and he's back in control of his own body. And you see he pushes past the crowd, he's wearing black armor, he's got like a black cape on with some like gold trim on it. And he runs up, he goes, Bill, dad, how does that use?

Is that you? Oh, sweet peep, all right, sweet peep, all right, sweet peep, all right, sweet peep. Poor one, our pops. Runs out and grabs you, swings you around with a big hug. It's so good to see him breathe in his beard. It smells like a deader version of what he used to be. Does smell like sulfur?

Yeah, no. Stay away, babe. It's a minute. It's more like, it's probably smells like eldritch. It's like, it's the odor. It's like wintery pine. Oh, even better. Yeah, that's a musk.

It's a real like winter scent. Oh Gives Bev a big hug Is it really you? Yeah, bud. I'm here now the dusk mother sent me to shadow fell to do Penance for selling my soul there for a minute. Thanks again for for saving me. Well, you know what? I forgive you. So that's one off the list, okay? Well, thanks, but, well, kinda got promoted quickly. I was originally gonna be one of the Knights of Penance,

but there's kind of bigger things at hand now than just the goings on in Grimhawk, and they've kinda got a handle on it there. And you see Lydia goes over and puts her hand on a shoulder and goes, that's right, you're looking at the captain of my shadow guard, Beverly took all the forth. I click my heels and salute instantly. Well, well, well, I think this makes you perfect.

You don't make a pair. Wait a go number four. Thanks a lot, guys. Yeah, for real. I'm really sorry for anything I said in hell. I truly had no control over it. Yeah, I don't think anyone blamed you for that. Yeah, I remember everything, which is the hard part about it.

Oh, that's good. So I'm really sorry for everything, but I'm truly, truly for everything. And I'm really, I'm really proud of you, son. Well, I couldn't have done it without you. And the power of reading, And I hold up the book. Oh bud, you've been doing your homework. Absolutely, any chance I get.

And these two know how to read now too. What? I would never, mom, be away. Double it. Elias, what's your favorite story? I don't have one, mom. I never read a book in my life, a sort of God. Do you think I think that you shouldn't be reading?

I don't know what to think anymore. I hold up behind in my hold up, Ulf Gargo's punch and a point point at her one and give her thumbs up. Love it. Love it. Yeah. I actually used to read that to you when you were a baby. Well fuck. But it's still your favorite book.

Something's never changed mom. Baby steps, you know. So you guys also see obviously Bev Senior makes this whole to do. He's this very loud guy. But you guys also see that Gunther has joined Lydia. He is here. When you saw him enter before, he was this confused spirit who couldn't make eye contact with you, didn't seem to know what was going on. but now he appears to have his wits about him He is a ghost, but he lets out a healthy bear grown when he sees you guys He's still a spirit, but he has intelligent eyes and seems to be in control of himself

Goes and gives you guys a hug and it just feels it feels he gives you guys a ghost bear hug and hard one as he hugs into you. You feel like a cold chill. All right, don't call. You're gonna have to be careful with the hugs there, Gunther. You see where he starts to push him back a little bit. You guys also see entering at the mouth of the cave is an undead rat man You see he's got yellow eyes and missing patchy fur, but other than that looks like the same old dirty rat man He always was and he goes hey the whole gang's here. I'm fucking dead. You fucking killed me Gunther God damn it He starts yelling at Gunther. Oh, yeah, yeah, no it wasn't you, it wasn't you.

Aw, even in death. It's kinda sweet. Like if I had to choose someone to kill me, it'd probably be one of you, you know? That's a weird thing to say, but I appreciate it. To die is your best friend. Right? Yeah, to get bearish, to shadow fill by your son.

I tell you, you see Bev's senior starts to tear out. Oh, Dad. Yeah. It was an honor. You know, he taught me everything I know. Kill your idols with two green teen hair. It's right in there. It's right in.

And you really are my idol, Dad. You really are. Oh, bud. You're my idol these days. Oh, look at you. You got the long hair. You're a flower guy now. I love it.

You like it? Yeah, it's not so much. Oh, I spent a lot of time in the Feywild bud. This is a real Feywild look That's kind of what I was going for You see Berlin is a good girl and hippie man. Yeah, Berlin had a glow up I think I could like pull it back to like a ponytail. What do you think? I think you could do a high pony high pony. I think she do a high pony I could also go for you. You could also go for one of those low 10 Tony's, like a, like a renaissance and like a Shakespeare play.

Well, no, absolutely don't do that. I'm just saying you could consider it. Hard one, would you give me the honor of giving me a top nod? I could whip something up. Ha ha ha ha. I might not know how to read, but I could do this by 10. Hard one, go ahead and roll for top knot.

I kneel in front of hard one. Give some of them dwarven knots that you gave me. Ooh, I'll use a luck point. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Do you have one left? I don't know, honestly, don't know. But what do I add to it? Let's just say proficiency.

Okay, so that's a 14. 14, okay, three luck point. I'm pretty good at top knot. It's messy, so that's a 14. 14? Pretty good point. Pretty good. Top nod. It's messy, but it feels like a style. Yeah. Yeah, it looks good. It's a good.

I don't have a mirror. Does it have like a shiny shield or something? You want it to look like it didn't take a ton of effort. Okay, yeah. Just throw it out. Kind of greasy. It looks good, body. It looks good.

Thanks, Dad. Thanks, Dad. I'll create a little water so that you can see yourself in the reflection. Oh, I thought you were going to do water in here. I thought you were going to do water in that you can see yourself in the reflection. Oh, you're gonna do water in here. Can you put some in my hair? Yeah, I put some water in your hair so you get beach waves. I get hard one beach waves and now everyone can go look in the puddle of water in my other own reflection.

Oh, it's salt water. Yeah, it'll stiffen it up a little bit. Yeah. You guys also see who's just been quiet this old time. Also not frozen is King McGannis with his King's hammer at his side. He sort of just wide eyed staring forward. I had said previously that all the dwarves were freaking out,

but since Lydia specifically grabbed him, he was with her in the sword. So she was able to explain things to him that doesn't necessarily make it any easier to digest. It's still insane. He's still had his entire city fall. And now he's in Shadowfill around all these people who are relative strangers.

So he's here, he's not freaking out. He's kind of just like rattled and staring forward but looks confused. Harlan, I don't know how you want to play this, but if you want to do it dirty, I can just send handy Andy, try and steal that. That's not true though. That's not true, Andy. Oh, okay. I already dispatched him sorry

Going back Going back and have him call my beach. Yeah, you see you see red who's now just like little Gremlin undead rat man comes up He goes, hey man if you want me to fucking steal that off of my good stuff Let's already dead man. Yeah Yeah, when I went to when I went to like the death place with like all the darkness the only person who called to me was your mom He was it was bleak. Yeah, let's play let's play it cool for now. I'm sorry to hear that by the way I could have just stayed I guess I don't know but if you get yeah get the whole game back together Yeah, this is nice. Maybe we can all do a little arcane together. I heard you guys have some wild time

I can't die anymore. Can I can't twice? I mean, you did. So you can. Yeah. Can I die, Lydia? Oh, you can absolutely be destroyed. Oh, fuck this. God damn it. You see, Lydia looks over. She's King McGannis looking a little rattled. Also, you've got all these frozen dwarves that have to be dealt with eventually. She does not want to keep them like this the whole time. You see she goes, okay, why don't we set up a place where we can all talk once things have calmed down. King McGannis, you can talk to your people and get everybody under control.

And you see, he just is staring forward and just nod solemnly. I give him a weird thumbs up. He just tilts his head at you. What is that? It's a side of positivity You mean like this gives you like a big thick hearty thumbs up. How'd you get it so straight? Take notes. Holy shit. You guys see the lady water to look at my thumbs up Pretty sure the pinky supposed to be be out. The king is wrong.

You see that lid of gestures to one of her shadow guard, a shadowy rath with a black robe and hood with gold trimming and tall spiked paldrons on its shoulders. It casts a magnificent mansion spell over the archway of a shallow cave, and as you guys cross the barrier into it, you enter a cozy version of Ember Heaven Castle, like a recreation, a smaller version of it. There's a little study with a burning fireplace next to a dining room with a long table, behind which is a recreation of the glass wall overlooking the blood star. It gives the room a red glow. There are also doors to individual

bedrooms and studies. And as you guys enter the mansion, hard one you feel, King McGannis puts his hand on your back and goes, you and I should probably talk. on your back and goes, you and I should probably talk. Yeah, of course, your highness. It's our fun sweating. I think he's just crying again. Okay, red leasing. Hey man, if you want me to like get up under his ribs with like a night rest, just you.

Andy and he's currently around the shaft. All of you guys are going to another room. I can like these fireworks to say the words. They're gonna be a great distraction. Part one that moms the leader of like the dead. We could just do whatever we want now. Do it like we don't even have to be good. Okay, red, red, wants a privacy.

Okay, my bad. You see he leans back. As the rest of you guys are kind of like brought into the dining room, Lydia tells her mage to like whip you guys up some magic food and stuff and ball nor. Oh, I definitely helped the mage. Yeah he does. He makes some. I don't normally need to eat so I figure what do you guys eat like oats? I wish I could work with oats. I could fuck with some oats.

Water and oats. Okay well we got to get some berries in there at least. I'll have some oatmeal. I think we're going to work out some. I think we're going to work out some. I think we're going to work out some. I think we're going to do this as sort of a breakfast casserole, maybe some oatmeal, chocolate chip cookies. I whisper to the mage, can you make like a tuna cake or something? It's our friend's card day. Oh.

I don't know what any of those words mean, but sure, I'll try my best. I'll help you. I'll help you make it to the end. I've never seen one, but except for in my dreams, and I'm ready to bring it to the real world. Sweet, so Moonshine and the Rathmej begin putting together a tunicate. I'm doing it.

I'm just like, you know I'm dead today. Oh no, kidding. I died 700 years ago. That is crazy. It's a weird feeling died. It's a weird feeling, died. It is a weird. It's different than going unconscious. It's a little different.

It's a little different. I mean, you are in a room full of people who are dead, so everyone's just murmuring in agreement. It's just like really good, it's like really good dinner party conversation. It's like when someone touches your elbow, and it feels a little weird. I'm like dabbing at the corner of your lips. We're like black life sludge is coming out.

Oh, sorry. Hopefully no more of that comes up while making a tunic cake. So you guys are in the kitchen preparing a meal making conversation with Bev Sr and Lydia. Meanwhile hard one you enter this private room with King McGannis. I smell that. It smells like they're making tuna cake out there.

It's an extra one in A&A's C tuna cake. Never mind. You see you guys are in this gothic sitting room, elaborate gold candelabras, light the dark room. There is a small table. You see King McGannis plops down on one side of it and just holds the bridge of his nose and goes, what a day. Yeah. All right, guess it's been a couple weeks now. Time goes by weird in prison swords.

Yep, it's been a it's been a hell of a time. King, it really is. You see he looks at you and he kind of narrows his eyes and he goes, I recognize you. Your narrows his eyes and he goes, I recognize you. Your mother said you grew up in Iron Deep. Yeah, I met you when you visited the Dwarf Innage, in fact. Hmm. A Dwarf Inn. Tall Dwarf. Tall Dwarf. Nods. The Haerlis. I understand you hold the Col dain and the bronze beard hammers. That's true, sir. You see, he looks down at his own, and then he looks back at you and he goes, before they were given to our families, the three Kings hammers were one mighty hammer forged by Moridan.

They were split up for each family to found a kingdom of dwarves. They served our kingdoms well for generations, but those kingdoms are gone now. That's mentioned briefly in Ulfgar Garcos punch. You see, he nods, like, that's a fine literature. Yeah, I'm not really a reading guy myself, but that's a hell of a book. It's the only book you need. Sire.

Just nods, it's like agreeing with like your girlfriend's dad on something dumb, just like really respects it. Just nods it already. Yeah. Stupid traits as all. You see, he pulls out his hammer and he kind of eyes it, and he eyes you and he goes, perhaps if the free people of the world

have united under one banner, the King's Hammer should be restored as well. You see, he holds his hammer out. The McGannis King's Hammer, the prize of Iron Deep, this immaculate steel weapon with gold carvings and white trim, and he begins to hand it over to you. Hey, you know, we can combine them

and I don't necessarily have to be the guy. If, you know, if you wanna swing it, it. Let's just see if they fit together. You see he you see it is clearly very difficult for him to hand this over and you see he starts to like pull it back and he goes I'm not going to kid myself. I'm too old to fight the Allah and from what your mother said and what I've heard of you and your friends Exploits it sounds like you're the only ones that have a chance and If I were to deprive you of this I'll be dead anyway and the King's hammer doesn't do me much good King you were the first

The first person in my entire life that ever honored me in any way you told me You told me I was a dwarf when I was a young boy This is the honor of my life and if I can take this hammer and if I can Do anything to help our people to help iron deep and to help Bahomia Just know I'm doing it. I'm doing it for you. Your mother saved our city. My family owes everything to your family. But if we are both dwarves, we should let Morridh and decide and do this the dwarven way. See, he puts the hammer down and he starts to take his armor off.

Let's let the gods decide. I want to wrestle you for it. Oh, give me one second, he'll take my hair down. Take your hair down. Hard one. After all this time training with Jaina, it occurs to you immediately that she knew

he was gonna do this. You know how to have expertise in athletics. You may add your proficiency bonus twice. Twice. Oh, that's a fucking plus, 10 plus whatever your strength is. Yowza. Fuck yes, fuck yes. Yeah, oh man, you're gonna be doing flips all over the all.

Thank you, Jaina. I'm gonna, I'm gonna push you into so many athletics, Jaina. This is gonna be fun just to see what you can get away with. Yeah, because Jaina, like you have become a great warrior through using your magic items and through swinging your acts and your hammer and everything, but Jaina has been teaching you like techniques to be like a well-rounded athlete in a fight.

It leads sweeps. Exactly. So you guys start circling around each other. Go ahead and roll, oppose athletics checks. All right. He goes for you. He tries to... That's a 19 for him.

That's a 31 for him. Oh, God! He goes into tackle you. You get super low. I mean, this dwarf is three feet shorter than you. You stick your leg out and do like a mini judo throw, like throw him over your leg. He lands on his back, quickly rolls and tries to dive it. You again, go ahead and do another athletic throw.

Woo! 25. That time and do another athletic troll. 25. That time he got a 30. So he does manage to grab your leg and start to tackle you. He grabs your leg and starts to get up under you. And you saw him fight in the Coliseum, too. It would be a special thing. The king is going to wrestle this other door for Frostwind.

Go ahead and make another athletic tour. Flutter cool. It's only a 14 for him on that one. That was, that's a 36. I'm sorry, 34, 34. Another thing where he's like grabbing your leg and making you hop on one leg, but then you just full on like kick him up into the air and slam him down. Go ahead and make another one.

Good lord. I'm really coming close to Crown. Don't go easy. Don't go easy. Hey, I won't. 28. You win that one as well. He got a 23. You slam him down. You get into side control. You start like using your shoulder to pin his shoulder down. Go ahead and make an athletics check with advantage. Oh, well, I rolled the net one, but with advantage that is a 33. He's on the

ground. He's furiously trying to get his one shoulder up while you pin him on the one side, and then you straighten your back and push your legs up and lean back and get on top of him, push both of his shoulders on the ground and you pin him. That's core strength. You should have never let me put my hair down. You see he rolls off to the side, pushes you off of him, starts trying to get his breath and he goes, oh, well, you sure as hell wrestle like a dwarf. I was taught by the best.

Did Bronzbeard show you how to do that? Yeah, that was all Jaina. God damn it, I should have known. She kicked my ass many a time. Kick my ass too. You see, he looks off and nods, gives you a predator handshake, pulls you in for a hug, and hands you the King's hammer. Go on, Nelson, you've earned this.

Thank you, thank now, son. You've earned this. Thank you. Thank you, King. Thank you. We've all earned this together. I smashed them together like two-sleeves. Oh, yes. So you've got the combined Koldane, Bronzebeard, King's Hammer in one hand,

and the McGannis one in the other hand. You slam them together, and there is a wave of concussive force that knocks McGannis back as the hammer's combined into one mighty God's hammer. Oh, that's so awesome. The hammer has nearly doubled in size. The front face of it now has an intricate carving

of Mordyn's face whose eyes light up with a purple glow. It's massive, but it feels light in your hands and instantly you feel your beard start growing. Yes. And your muscles start expanding until you basically look like how you did as a human. You look like a tall dwarf again, except you've got the little elf ears from still being a half elf. Just as for a boy. That's the full dwarf. I, yeah, hard one cries, it's your joy again.

Hard one, your strength score has risen to 24. What? What? What? The hammer now casts Spirit Guardians at a fifth level, absorb elements at a fifth level, and you may now use an ability called Thunder Clap as an action. You send a wave of thunder energy out in a 30-foot cone from the hammer. Everyone makes a DC-17 con saving throw and anyone who fails is stunned until your next

turn, so it's a way to deal with like waves of enemies. You know what, I don't know if I can properly thank you for this. You might if I call one of your ancestors. Yes, please, you see he looks shocked because he just had the one King's hammer and he's just looking at this insane hammer that was crafted by the gods. It's beautiful, it's better than any book could ever be. Even off-guard goes punch. Honestly, sir.

Fuck books. And I call my dwarf daddy's to, uh, to- Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho. Oh, this feels good, man. God would be good. This is prime for my friend. Yeah, I'm feeling thick. You see that they are in a spectral hot tub.

Oh, this is us now. Yeah. Ha, ha, ha. This is us all the time. Ha, ha, ha. And then we're gonna cut over to Bev and Munchine. Is there anything you guys would like to do before you rest for the night?

Because at this point, you guys have only taken like a short rest and done a Zellas trance. I definitely wanna make sure that Moon Shrens okay after her deathifying experience. Yeah, you know, it's all good. Diane was, have you done it? You know I have not. I'm glad you knocked out.

I'm glad to hear that. Yeah, it feels different, it's really weird. But yeah, I'm glad to hear that. Yeah, it feels different, it's really weird, but yeah, I'm doing fine. I'm back doing what makes me me which is making food for other people. It's just you barely touched your tuna cake, so I just wanna make sure if you're all right.

Well, it's a truly ghastly monstrosity of a meal, so actually it turns my stomach. Is there already tuna cake love? Yeah, hard one walks out of the room. Yeah, I made you a bowl I have a ball nor bow nor just horking it down It's freaking delicious moonshine. Thank God you're here. You ate the candles. Yeah, what? Throwes up anti-life matter. Oh Sorry, yeah, that got everywhere.

Oh, wow. Yeah, it's like a, it spreads, I guess. I'm avoidable. You see, you're gonna hack that up for a little bit. You see the Lydia does? Yeah, you know, right? Oh, yeah, it's been a little anti-death matter. Yeah, you guys see Hardwood walks out

with his giant ass hammer down. Oh, that is a hell of a hammer, my friend. Thanks for noticing. I got a new hammer. That looks fierce and you didn't have to steal it. You know what? I earned it a different way. I love it.

Wow, you are crying all over. Am I, yeah, I'm just, I think I had something in both of my eyes and both of my nostrils because I've got a snot crying. You see, Lydia looks at you, hard one and goes, Alias there's no shame in crying. Okay. No one make fun of Alias for crying, okay? Is anyone rassing him? We only make fun of him for being embarrassed for crying.

This is a bad room. I was trying to pass the candles. Oh, I'm sorry. This is a bad room. I was trying to pass the candles. Oh, I was trying to pass the candles.

Oh, I was trying to pass the candles. Oh, I was trying to pass the candles. Oh, I was trying to pass the candles. Oh, I was trying to pass the candles. Oh, I was trying to pass the candles. Oh, I was trying to pass the candles. Oh, I was trying to pass the candles. Oh, I was trying to pass the candles. Oh, I was trying to pass the candles. Oh, I was trying to pass the candles. Oh, I was trying to pass the candles. Oh, I was trying to pass the candles. Oh, I was trying to pass the candles. Oh, I was trying to pass the candles. Oh, I was trying to pass the candles. Oh, I was trying to pass the candles. Oh, I was trying to pass the candles. Oh, I was trying to pass the candles. Oh, I was trying to pass the candles. Oh, I was trying to pass the candles. Oh, I was trying to pass the candles. Oh, into the room and play with the books on the shelf, kind of look at them, kind of killing time, trying to avoid the subject.

But then I... Hey, don't sign your name in any of those, huh? Too soon. Too soon. A little bit. A little fresh, yeah. Yeah. Hey, I'm sorry about everything.

I only did what I thought was best. That's why I love you. I love you, bud. I knew you'd be able to stop whatever was in your way, even if that was me. Having to fight you was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. But I did it. And you gave me a strength that I need desperately right now. You've given me so much and it's time for me to stand up and give back to you and the world as well. I kind of fiddle with my amulet for a second. And I like hold it out and show it to him and I say I had to change the pattern. I couldn't bear to look at the the sun anymore. I changed my oath.

My war helped me get power from myself and all of the people of Bohumia, but it still doesn't feel right. I felt the dusk mother reaching out. I felt the last bit of Polar leaving me as I did it and it just felt wrong. Did I do the right thing? You see, he takes a moment and he thinks about it and he looks down and then he looks back up at you and he goes, Bev, part of this journey is you becoming your own person. And if being a green knight to you means that you draw your power from Melora, or from the realm of Bahumia,

or from your friends, as long as you fight for what's right, that's what the light is to you, and I'm proud of you. You'll always be a part of my light, Dad, wherever you are. You've always been the light of my life, but gives you hug. I give them a hug right back. And then while we're embraced, I kind of sigh for a moment. I'm like, you can't come home, can you? Not yet, but the good news is you and your friends are pretty powerful and I'm sure you

can facilitate bringing mom along maybe when the stall over. Then when I've done my time here, when I've paid for the things I've done, we can all be together again and whatever our heaven ends up being. We'll keep the sticky buns warm for you. I can taste them already. I think we just kind of stand there hugging and slapping each other on the back a little harder each time.

Good job bud. Yeah, just like giving you like a real manly hug but just like choking sobs while also just like, you have to keep slapping him harder. Doing a good job there bud. Love you dad's alright. Love you bud. Alright, we'll try.

P-R-I-P-P. Oh, I hear Boundore, he's having a real trouble time in the bathroom. I can't pass the candles, Beth. I gotta go cleansing touch him dad. You don't wanna be there for the game. You should help him out. Pass the candles, Beth. I gotta go cleansing, touch him, dad. You don't wanna be there for the candles. You don't wanna be there for the candles. No, I'll be there for it.

We're both gonna go help him. We're gonna go help him. We're gonna go help him. Let's go help our dad, dad. So it's all in one candle. It's his first birthday. It's his first card day. If there's another one comes out, that's a bad time.

But that was, it's a big candle. It was in the, he's been eating candles. It was in the shape of a one. It was in, it was one of the big candles gang. It was a novelty candle. It was a candle and I ate it whole. Um, Bev senior and Bev junior go into the bathroom and try to help bow and or push through it.

That's what family does. Um, meanwhile as kind of, um, King McGannis is starting to lighten up, having a nice night, talking to hard one hanging out with him. You see Lydia approaches you, Moon Shine, and she puts her hand on your shoulder, and she goes, are you- Honestly, your son likes to be rast. Wait, what? Oh, I was- Is this about your son, for me, a resident? No, this is about you. I, as a revenant, I have died many times,

but the first was the worst. Okay. Are you, do you feel okay? You know, I honestly feel pretty fine about dying. I could bounce a couple of other things off your noodle, though. If you're gonna extend an olive branch, I might just put a dove on it, you know.

Sure, let's go talk. She takes you into the room that. Or tuna! Or tuna! Or ho! No, no, but take the candles out, guys. Again, down the only yours at a candle. This is such a big candle.

Beth, Beth, senior, hold my hand. Fumia, give us strength. Let me your power. Can I freshen your bowl, King? She takes you to a little study and sits on the other side of a table from you. I guess I come down here and it seems like you are in an unsavory position, but you seem to be thriving and I myself may be accepting and an interim position of leadership that I'm looking to turn a frown upside down the way that you've

done with Shadow fell. Seishi narrows her eyes. What am I speaking to, babe? Just what are you planning on doing, Moonshine? All right, I'll just spell it out. Your son, our friend Beverly, myself, out your son, our friend Beverly, myself, the guy who shouldn't out the candle. Right. Essentially, I don't know what hard one has filled you in on. But when we're in hell, we may or may not have completely dismantled the power structures that be there and placed in their stead, a bit of a stooge. Interesting.

And my self was a person to cast gay ass powerful spell, a powerful drood. She looks, she looks impressed. Wow. Powerful spell. So cast gay ass on basically a friend. Wow, powerful spell. So Cass Gahos on Basically a friend a friend is down there. I cast Gahos on him He is bear in the crown as bestie can but I know that the hellfire crown. Yeah, the hellfire crown Maybe you heard of it. Yes, if you remember I was in the chosen when I was a young woman and we had to study history and cursed artifacts and whatnot.

So basically I got a friend down there bearing the brunt of this burden. And after we do away with the aula, I believe that, well, I don't believe. I know that I'm gonna go down there and I'm gonna take it from him so that he can continue his life and I can figure out what to do from there. You see she nods. So basically I see the situation you all have here and you've y'all doing to reform the souls of the wicked and and

maintain a position of leadership that you don't necessarily want? Oh, I, I very much want to be the leader here. I started out as a soldier in the chosen. I married a man when I was young and we went off and we went on adventures, and there were good times and there were bad times. Everything happened with glad. I was killed. I spent time as a lost soul on the astral plane.

I have been around for a long time, and for much of it, I've had other people telling me what I can and can't do. I'm... I'm... may or may not relate to that on some level. She nods. This is a way for me to take the power back. But I will also say that I had my family taken away from me. I was gone from the material plane for decades. I came back as a crazed revenant with a single purpose. You look good though. Make a revenue. I stuck with the goth aesthetic.

I think it works for me. It really does. Thank you. Don't tell hard one. A pit is forming and hard one's done. That doesn't know why. You hear a flirty laugh from inside the room. What was that?

And she goes, so for me, I had already lost everything and this is me rebuilding. But moonshine, you're a young woman. You have so many friends. You have the crick people. Why do you feel the need to do this yourself? Why does it have to be you? I don't know that I have a clear answer to that Lydia. This is just kind of how I have been raised. I mean, I suppose that I come from a... I mean, I guess I come from a community in crisis. So we were kind of all trained to put we before me, not really as like a moral code,

but more of a means of survival. I mean, I only get to do what I do because a lot of Crick folk before me thought about me before they thought about themselves so I suppose I'm aware that I owe a debt to this world and Truthfully it's it's probably the reason that I left the Crick was because I was sick of everyone saying you know collected before individual. Make sure everyone's fed before you help yourself. But I also did turn my back on being the Mima,

which I don't think it was a mistake, because I know that there's a lot of other folk that could do that job just as well as me, but I am aware that I owe something to this world that I have yet to repay. I don't know, I guess I just never wanted to be the meme, Mom. I wanted to wander this world, and I was hoping that I could give back in way that I still got to do that.

You see, she grabs your hand and she pulls you in, and she goes, all my life, people told me what I had to be. You don't have to be anything other than what you are. I know, but what I am is a privilege that has been given to me from a lot of people who sacrificed for me. What you are is one of the strongest, druid, barbarian heroes that I've ever walked. I think the barbarian part. Any of the planes.

It's about one level, but it means a lot. Yeah. Well, I've seen the way you swing that sword, and I've seen you wrestle my son, and my son is very strong. Yeah. I don't know. I just think that I can do it. I think that I can do it, and I don't want to leave

pender greens down there. And more importantly, I don't want to leave something that future generations have to clean up. I think that's smart, but I also think that you don't have to do it alone. Have you talked to Elias or Beverly about what you're going through? I, you know, it just hasn't really come up. It hasn't come up. I sense that you don't want them to worry about you. It has brought you room.

If you want my advice and you don't have to take it. I think you should talk to your friends. Not because you owe them an explanation, but because you deserve to be heard. Okay. If I take your advice, it's only because you are a fascinating and posing and intimidating woman. You see she leans back and laughs and pulls out her sword from the hilt and starts polishing it.

And she goes, all right, now let's talk logistics. Does someone have to wear this crown? Now, let's talk logistics. Does someone have to wear this crown? I truly didn't know. I just know that I need to get it off of Pentegrines head. Oh, Pentegrines is my stooge. Okay, right. I gathered from context clues, right?

Oh, yeah. I just need to get it off of Pentegrines head. And I just, I think I could, I think that I could outlast the crown. I think I could outsmart it before it could corrupt me. Okay. But I agree that it is not, it itself is not a good thing. Like I was saying before, I was in the chosen

and we had to study cursed relics and whatnot. One thing I know is that the first people, the people who walked the material plane with the gods when the gods were still there, they all had blessed magic items and everything. The gods were here. They made things for their champions. There has to be some way to destroy it.

There has to be someone has to know something. And you all know we were down there with Alon, and she didn't even know how to destroy it. Alonus is probably one of the most powerful, was I know. That doesn't mean that she knows everything, and it doesn't mean that she couldn't figure out if given the time. Yeah.

Yeah, I know, I know, I know. You've got the city of Glade Home. Yeah. Add your fingertips. I got my daddy's actually a wizard. He probably would maybe. He probably would. Great.

How much longer do you think your friend will last down there? It's not a good situation. It's not a good situation. I mean, I cast Gays on him, but it's... He's smart, strong. Um... He's... You see, your sword starts flashing.

Oh, that's right. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's strong, it's more... Go for it, go for it. It's strong, smart, yeah. You see, let's just leave it at... He's more charming than he should be. Lydia goes, because I don't want to alarm you, but if this is something you're thinking about, yeah, you all have a big target on your pack. There's chances that other people are thinking about

this too, whether they want to get the crown or they want to stop you from being able to do whatever you want to do. Is there anyone in particular who is after you or? Um, yeah. A kind of the living embodiment of famine is after me. You think that he might have plane shifted down to hell and watch me maybe have a tender interaction with my stooge. I can't say for sure. Oh fuck her. Okay. So you might be implying that we need to deal with this situation before we go up against the all rather than after.

Well, you've got some time before the all of returns. Yeah. OK. All right. I will perhaps approach my friends with the situation and see if they would like to wet their swords on some cursed items. I'm knocking on the door. Um, Mujang, come quick.

I think Belldor is about to pass his candle. Oh, okay. Push, yes. You gotta breathe. You gotta breathe. You gotta breathe. Oh, no. Sorry, Lydia.

I think they are gonna need a powerful drood there for this one. There might be some greater restoration. That's right, lady. I drood there for this one. There might be some greater restoration. I see the base of the one. I got a number two out there's number one. Munchine, you come out, you hear the flesh of the toilet, your friends, and King McGannis and Bev Sr. are there as Lydia and Munchine rejoin the party. Ballnor is super red-faced and gasping for breath.

This guy just threw another slice of tuna cake. Yeah. Heed me away from that stuff. Oh, looks like we got a new card day tradition. Oh yeah. Next year it's a two. Y'all, can I bring up something that may feel scary? Nothing can be scarier than what I just witnessed.

Yeah, Bunchai and nothing can drive us at this point. All right. I think we've been through it all. This was like the 10th layer of hell. 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 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.

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. Uh, I guess basically when I went down to recast gas on Pender Greens, he's not doing so well. And... Really, that guy? I know, it was a shock to me as well I definitely did not

understand yeah I catch about every fifth word and I was trying to keep it from y'all so that y'all could focus on the fight with the y'all but I believe that I was hoping that we would just beat the y'all and then I could quietly go down and figure out the hell situation by myself. Excuse me. What? Yes. I was just trying to do it as a courtesy to everyone, but uh, uh, your mom hard one thought maybe it would be better if we did it together.

My mom's awesome. You're so fucking smart, mom. She tussles your hair, your way taller than her. We let a match or something. Additionally, maybe me playing shifting down there may have alerted to the horsemen the instability of the hellfire crown and they may be wanting to use that against us. Anyway, so do y'all want to figure out how to destroy a really powerful cursed item? Yeah, if the alternative is you being in hell for the rest of your life.

I mean, I'm an optimist. I think it'd be thousand years cap. Still an easy question. Let's destroy that thing. Okay. Well, I've tried wrapping cursed items in seaweed. Doesn't work out great. Okay, when that happened?

You know that sword? Yeah. What do you get playing when you say, I'm gonna bring this to Ireland, even though it was covered in play. It was fully covered in play. Urjan almost died, that's why he's mad at me. Oh, as long as we're just like,

kind of in the zone of truth. The zone of truth. Improvise, it's nice that we don't have to always cast to be a man. If we're telling the truth, I want everyone to know, I knew it was the candle. I knew I ate the candle on purpose. Actually, less of a zone of truth and more of a throne of truth. Yeah. I knew it. And I ate it anyway. That's okay. You know what? Good. I guess I should come clean.

I actually know I was pretty skinny these last few weeks. I'm pretty goddamn grateful that I'm that I'm thick again See King began his good steery. I Know fucking big is or this is a big bathroom Just kudos Mrs. Stormborn. Why don't we get out of here? as you guys are getting ready for bed moonshine you're thinking about what Lydia was talking about, about like the first people and how there were a lot

of magical items and curses and everything back then and how they must have had a way to deal with this. And presumably, would you like share that with, do you think? Yeah, oh, absolutely, yeah. I definitely would fill everyone in on what Lydia told me. Sweet, so you fill everybody in on what Lydia told you and everything, and even she brings it up again

as you guys are getting ready for bed. And as you guys are thinking about that, go ahead and give me insight checks. Ooh. Ooh. 17. 18. 16.

Okay, all pretty good rolls. Pretty good. It kind of occurs to all three of you guys that there is someone you know who as their entire job, along with an entire order of monks, reads old ancient scrolls in an effort to become enlightened. Yeah. Are we near an ice cream store? Because I'm hungry for some scoops. I need some sprinkles, and I need some tinkles. Yeah, let's scoop.

Yeah, let's go give him a room. Sweet, I will trans. Hard one, I'm assuming you're gonna trans as well. Yeah, I'll do a quick eight hour trans. I'm gonna try transiting today. You know, I'm feeling you're gonna trans as well. Yeah, I'll do a quick eight hour trans. I'm gonna try transing today. You know, I'm feeling a little more of the earth that you know, like there's a pastoral but you call a texture to my skin.

Get into it, Beverly. Yeah, you see Bev's senior goes, yeah, we're all dead. So we all just trans. Oh, yeah. And everybody just sits in a weird circle and stares phone, or I do that and then sort of fall back. You instantly just like fall back and your mom's lap

but you just rub your head. Hello, my mom. And then I guess tomorrow we'll try and go get Jonathan. Sweet. Hard one is already knocked out. You guys all go to bed for the night. You guys wake up. King Grimthor McGannis gives you a hearty handshake,

hard one, and Lydia goes. And we should probably deal with the thousands of frozen dwarves out in the cave. Oh, you left them frozen overnight. Oh, they're fine. It's there in like stasis. Wow. To them, it'll just be a blink. And they're fine. It's there in like stasis. Wow.

To them, it'll just be a blink. And they can- So they'll all be one day younger. Oh, that's a good way to- You hit it over the spot. Yeah, if anyone's upset, you pitch it, frame it like that. Frame it as an anti-aging. Yeah, don't they got a free trance in? You see King McGannis goes off,

he's preparing to like break the news to his people and like calm them and kind of, you know, like give them a big speech to get them to get them all in order. But you guys are probably leave ahead of them. So you see a little demon goblin red gives you a hug. A patch of fur falls off onto your one. Sorry, you're dead, Uncle Red. Yeah, you know what, it ain't so bad. Now, I don't got to worry about being good. I can just do whatever I want.

That's right. I know the boss here, hey? You always said life sucks. Yeah, I was gonna say life sucks, but maybe death rules. Death kind of rules. I'm not hating it. Congrats, man. Gunther lets out happy.

Oh. Everybody loves Gunan. Congrats man. Gunther lets out happy Everybody wants to go on and yeah, you see Lydia goes all right. I can banish you back to The ruins of iron what is you can get up to I was gonna have to do playing shivty So hospitable it's so cool when my mom banishes us. It wraps your head hard when Lydia goes because of death coming through here and banishing a bunch of the troops in Ember Heaven. I don't know how much help will be in any kind of final battle.

But I do think that Shadowfell still has a part to play in all of this. Viola killed a lot of people. Yeah. And should everything go to plan, there will be a lot of free and lost souls in the days to come. Oh, Heliuma.

Shepard them to where they need to be. We trust you, General Stormborn. I promise you as the captain of Lorm Stormborn's sworn horde. That's a mouthful fuck. And he's salutes it. So much of his beard was in his mouth for that. I salute my mom and then hug her. It gives you big hug.

She takes her sword out, stabs it into the ground, and with a wave of shadow energy, banishes you guys back to the material plane. Can I banish last so I can just give her a little? Thanks, Lydia. She winks that she up. Cool. Did my mom wake it?

Ooh. Yeah. You guys appear back on the material plane. You guys are near where the dwarves were excavating and everything, so you appear like under-glade home. You're quickly able to use like jaw-jong, your various other ways of flight to get back up to glade home. And as you arrive back there, you see that the populous continues to grow. There are big, magical construction projects in the city to extend it. The city is getting bigger every day. You see teams of mages moving slabs of rock to extend and blend in with the rest of the floating

city. These are hard times, so you're seeing kind of the best and the worst of people. You're seeing a lot of people come together, kind of working day and night to make sure the fellow citizens here are sheltered, but you're also seeing some people give into nihilism. You see some folks with like masquerade masks, staggering down the streets drunk, pouring out of taverns, yelling, the end is nigh, the end is nigh! Well, that's the quick, what about the quick fog? What are they doing? It's a mix.

What? The end is nigh, the end is nigh! Hey, Tree, what're you doing? That's awesome. That's how he was raised. He takes off his best grade pass. Hey, how'd you know I was petri? It's a different petri than you thought it was gonna be.

Well, it just, it was just a stink of Beatrie voice. Now go get back and help everyone. Alright, go ahead and make a persuasion check. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha see coffee bursts. He falls off the city and a page has to like, levitate in, and bring it back. Oh dear. Big image, I gotta feed my habit. I get a coffee. You go and get a coffee.

And you guys see, as you guys are working your way through the crowds and everything here, moonshine, you feel a ping of pop-os a little heartbeat being back on the material playing with him. Ooh. I do a super high-pitched nose whistle that only Papa can hear to rally him to my side. You see after a moment, Papa comes scrambling

through the crowd. Rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rie, rim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim, He thinks that it's like you're trying to put his leash on or something. He starts playing dead like he died. Right. Papa, it's good. You want this. This ain't like the least, okay? He's pretending that he's dead. You put it on him and you see, you see at first, he kind of like scrambles around like uncomfortable, does like a weird, that weird animal thing where like if you try to put like a shirt on like a dog or cat,

they just start like flopping over, not knowing how to live. But then you see this like kind of little wave of fire energy go through him and a flicker of fire in his eyes and he exposes his teeth and you see his fangs get a little longer. And he starts now. He can light his own cigarettes now Little infernal and maybe you can come with me where I'm going and Munchan Papa now has plus three to his attack and plus there's his damage I'm starting to feel bad. I didn't get anything for a call call I look over at a street vendor who's actually selling kakao's car kids.

Oh, that's not fair. Fisail. I don't know if kakao eats birds. Thanks for the negative of their giants. Looks pretty good to me though. Hey, sir, the end is nine. Birds Fisail. Hey, heart, we're looking over there.

I'm looking for a phone. So as you guys arrive back in the city, how would you guys like to contact Toneth and Tinkal? Before we do that, should we maybe touch base with Erdan about spell components? Yes, we should talk to Erdan about spell components. You do know the generic spell components that Alonus gave you. Those were just to kind of cast any spell. Those were like

broken down by magical means. Revivify takes diamonds. You could definitely just go to a store and use some of your gold and buy spell components. We're rich. Let's go shopping. That's the easiest thing. You know, actually, pop-hop holds the purse strings now. All purchases must be run by my attorney. Paw-paw. You're looking ferocious as hell. We're in here. Can we please have some diamonds? Just a few. We don't need that many.

I believe they need to be worth, what is it? 300 gold. Let me check the card. Yeah, 300 GP each. So how much of your guys money would you guys like to spend on diamonds? Okay. Wow, this is trashy. I can't believe we're getting diamonds. Were they ethically sourced?

Yeah, you guys go to this very well to do jewelry store. And you see that the person behind the counter looks to be a relative of Ren. Oh yeah, they're ethically sourced all over the wall. Wait a minute. Yeah, we found there were these like little gnomes that were living in this little cave and they were mining them and then we had some soldiers go there and just kind of take them.

The report scores that. So the soldiers were fine. The report's birth, I wanna say, should we just rob this store? Yeah. I'd love to smash some glass with this hammer. I personally have 18,780 gold pieces and 24 platinum. Can we each get a diamond necklace?

Yeah. Maybe, what's, oh, diamond anklets maybe? Yeah. But we think, I wouldn't mind just stud. I wouldn't mind replacing my belly chain. Oh, perfect. I'm gonna get earrings made of diamonds Yeah, I definitely am also doing a nice cuff. Okay, nice ear cuff Diamond ear cuff. Oh, I love that. Yeah, you guys get iced out Have how many like diamonds are you buying? We'll say that each one is a piece of jewelry. An Encliffe, you want?

No, I want a necklace with a spinner rim on it. I'll do a choker and a belly chase. A cursed combination. I'm gonna get two Enclips and then two diamond earrings. I'll do toe ring. I'll do toe ring. Okay, give me the total of diamonds that you guys are buying and then let's multiply it by 300. So, I'm getting four.

Two anklets, two earrings, so four for me as well. Yeah, I'm just gonna do a single, sort of like a cartilage ring on the tip of my whole hair. That's kind of like what I'm doing. Oh, it's whole hell, yeah, that's what they're doing. Yeah, that's the brother sister, earring, and then I'm gonna do a pretty iced out like chain with like a big Okay, so two so two for you as long as it's okay with pop-off

Rare Pop-off, do you want any studs any diamond studs for your collar? Rare Yeah, it's pop-off will take one as well. So that is 11 diamonds Oh, what about you? Oh, yeah, you trying to get into like a high school football ring I would really like a for my Faye Wild Village if you guys wouldn't mind. Absolutely.

Wow. It needs to be a big diamond. Can we get him like a big tuna necklace? We made him diamonds. Of course. Why don't we get him another singing tuna, but it made diamonds this diamond. Okay.

I have counted 23 total. I kind of want to, I think we should all get a Super Bowl ring. Guys, it's actually really sick. It's going to cost you guys 69, 100 gold. Can we afford that? Yeah, we have 18,000 gold in 24 platinum. Okay, so write down 23 spell components. Nope, that feels good.

I just realized we should get something for Jonathan. Oh yeah. Oh, Jonathan reads to me like belly button ring. That's nice. I was gonna say belly button ring. Yeah, it's gonna take the price above $6,900. You're right, you know why don't someone just need to sacrifice water?

So I'll go Super Bowl ring and cartilage ring and I'll sacrifice my necklace. Let's turn that into a really dangly belly button ring. That's beautiful. I can't remember if this belly button was yours. There's nothing more considerate than getting someone you don't know if they have a belly button,

but you're saying a belly button ring. You guys went in here like these down to earth adventures and you were coming out like the biggest dude that I've ever existed. I'm like, right. I'm becoming friends with friends uncle. Sweet, you guys have now obtained 23 spell components. We'll say these will count for like heroes feast as well. We'll calculate the amount of money and everything just to keep you guys honest.

I think heroes feast is a is a grand. So couldn't I also just use you to do that? Yeah, you can just take you can just take some money off of your sheet whenever you use it. Yeah, that's an expensive brunch. Yeah, actually when you're rich, it's nothing. I'll say take five grand off your sheet based on how much you guys have used already.

Great, so you guys have spent almost 12,000 gold and you still have a lot left. Merf, this is almost really sick. We have 6,880 gold pieces now. Can I panhandle to get 20 gold pieces? Sure. You guys have 69. We're trying to panhandle while we're wearing diamonds.

You're parents disown you. Your mother sees you and throws you off the sick. I know, I'll just go to people look and be like people Luke is pop me 20 gold. You know why I know why You have the prized relic of the elves. What do you need 20 gold? We could sell that That's right, we could sell that. Hahaha. Brides, railing goes out. Just for 20 gold pieces.

Okay, don't do that. I'll give you 20 gold not to do that. That's the way. I was joking, anyways. Actually, people, look, while you're here, do you know we are trying to get in touch with a very powerful wizard. Oh, well, you just happened to be in touch with a very powerful wizard right now. Excel C-R, you see, um, um, Mono Worm appears under him and starts wriggling.

Oh, wow. You know, by any chance, Jonathan Tinkall, he, uh, he lives in the order of, well, it was previously a guy with a bunch of eyes. The watchman? Yeah, but he took over. Uh, if you can describe him for me, I can send the sending spell to him. No one with a belly button piercing. At, I'm with a belly button piercing. At least a place for a belly button piercing.

He has a belly button. A pure, simple belly button. A no-mo with a belly button. If you want to tell me anything else about him. Oh, real scoopable. Extremely scoopable. Also, as an owl companion, usually. Yeah.

And a third eye, that might be helpful. He also rides a silly little a silly little I don't know doom buggy Interesting okay, this is good the third eye is probably the big thing I will well it'll be four eyes once he gets the belly button piercing that isn't the shape of an eye Okay, so I have 25 words is there like I don't know this guy. How should I start? Hey, Jonathan? Hey, Jonathan? It's the boobs. It's the boobs up like I don't know this guy how should I start? Hey Jonathan. Hey Jonathan. It's the boobs. It's the boobs.

Sup. Sup. Probably two or three subs I'd say. Okay, sup, sup, sup. We want to visit to destroy a powerful crown. You down. I think we should ask for you down. You down, you down.

You down. Um, Jonathan. Yes. He he. Welcome Nathan Yaffe. Thanks for having me. Our secret guest to the podcast. It was torture not being able to laugh out loud. Listening to that chopping spray. At them breaking the game with how many spell components

they can buy. Just holding in nice at the 69th. It's the hardest thing anyone can do. Yes. You get a message from a strange mage who says, hey, it's the boobs. Sub, sub, sub. Be the help destroying crown you down.

Um, let me, I will respond with my own sending spell. Sub, sub, sub, yourselves on my way now. I assume the large city, the floating city, is where you are, question mark. Wow, yeah, why didn't we think to tell him? He's so smart, we just knew he'd knew. Lucana sends back that you guys are like near the university and he gives you a lot more money. Tell more opinions than outside.

I will not. You can't miss us, we shine in the sun. I'm break dancing on Jojo. I will not you can't miss us we shine in the sun I'm break dancing on jaw job cards are pulling over in the bushes because Our bling is blinding them I Keep screaming it stays jewelry. It's not real. Don't worry. We need your money You guys see Tonathon Suddenly appears before you guys Can I make an entrance?

Yeah. So you see a large winged reptile, a tarot actile, flying down from above you with several of the goliath monks on its back. And as it lands, the monks get off and the tarot act will then turn into Jonathan. Wow! Wow, he knows how much I love birds.

Now that's a wizard doing it like a drool in wood. He has pizzazz. He certainly does, excels here indeed. Which one of us is going to scoop him? I've already scooped him, he's got my shoulder shut. Oh, I miss being scooped by, he's got my shoulder chopped. Oh, I miss being scooped by you. That question, I turned back.

Oh, okay. Too slow on the scoop guys. Wow, you all look very fancy. Hello. Thank you so much. Yeah. We got a little something for you. Hard one, did you do something with your ears?

Yes, I turned into a half-elf. I did something with my genetic makeup. Wow Neat yeah, but I'll say he got earrings It was both Equal equal parts. This is a cartilage ring and it seems to be already infected. Oh Yeah, here. I kind of like tweak it to a Oh yeah, here I kind of like tweak it to a cleansing touch it Whoa none of our piercings will ever get infected now will ever be infected again I am a walking bottle of Purell I throw away my alcohol solution

Ton of them we got you something what really yeah, oh my god I'm just so happy you guys survived the cataclysm I knew you would you hear the strongest people I've ever met. What happened to your enclave? Oh, I mean we took some some pretty heavy damage but you know I can kind of see the future a little bit and they're they're pretty strong. So we did all right. There are more of us outside the city actually. We were headed here anyway, so this all worked out. Great.

Yeah. Great. Yeah. Anyway, I left your shirt. Oh, what? Okay. Just like plunge it into his belly button. Oh, right into the hole that was already there.

I knew that about you. Deep down we knew. Wow, yeah, the monks were training me with Shuriken and I accidentally poked myself there. That'll happen. That track. That tracks. So were you up to anything?

Are you down to help us with this crown quest? I mean, mostly just sort of trying to survive the end of the world. Match, match. You know, we've been trying to keep ourselves as far away from civilization to keep out of reach of the Alice Chosen, but now that they're all gone and it's the end of the world, I don't know what else we're using this information for. So yeah, may his all work together, right? Right. Yeah. Well, so we essentially have we're trying to Figure out how to get rid of the health fire crown. Yeah, the thing we're talking we're gonna go to hell is this thing? Yeah, yeah, we essentially have fire crown. Yeah, we essentially have a friend down there who's kind of wearing it for us and Being as brave as he can, but we got to make that thing go away.

We're going to figure out how to make hell better. Speaking of headwear, is that the Noah's Yall that you're wearing? It is. It is the Noah's Yall. My daughter wears the Noah's Yall. I'm borrowing it. Wow. You want to try that?

I, uh. Here, give it a go. Okay. I'll make it. I'll make it. Make a wisdom saving throw, Jonathan. Am I standing close enough to Bev to get his aura? Yeah, great call. Oh, that's in that 20.

Oh my gosh. You know what's funny? Is that Cripp first time I put it on to you, I think? You guys just see Jonathan's eyes roll back. His third eye glows and he just begins like humming. Ooh. As knowledge just fills your brain. You know what?

It's coming from the crown or the belly button. Oh, great. Equally, I think it's pouring out of both of your arms. Yeah. You know what's like Lasalo always says, if it crits, it fits. Yeah, right. Wow.

Also, it's got telekinesis. So if you want to just like play around sort of do like a claw machine thing with Things around you do that. Okay. Yeah Honest as fuming what are you just like giving away? I'm sorry people Luke I'm sorry by the way. I saw you a whole cat on those death specters. Did you know oh, yeah, we're watching Yeah, ghost vectors. Yes, we're I assume you were on the other side of that we had a bit of a scare last night Aguena's a Guena's all right She's with she's with Cobb now. Okay, okay

Anyways, um, Jonathan. I'm really sorry. I'm gonna take it back. But just no, yeah, for sure. That you're looking pretty mad at me. Okay, go for it. Thanks for letting me wear it. Wait, hold on. I can tell Kinesis. I scoop every I scoop all the ultimate scoop. Um, Jonathan, I'll even say as you're wearing the thinking cap, you think about what Moonchan was asking you how to get rid of the hellfire crown. Oh, okay. And you are uniquely qualified to answer something like this, even more so than Alonus because you are the leader of this month order.

You guys guard this ancient knowledge that the Watchmen had. You guys had all these tombs and everything. I'm gonna read them up. Yeah, Uku gave you this third eye symbol, which at first felt like it didn't really do anything, but then as you read and as you gained more knowledge, you realized that it gave you essentially

photographic memory. So every book you've ever read, you can like think of the page number. You're able to just like comb through your mind like a student studying through like our past. Well, let me go to just like comb through your mind like a student studying through like my mind palace guys. I'm sure I could find sure. Yeah.

Jonathan, go ahead and give me a history check with advantage. Okay, so that's going to be a 30. Yeah. Yeah, you guys see,athon rubs his temples you see the third eye glows You see the thinking cap glows around him creating this aura and tonathon you begin going through your mind Like a student in the library and you just start spouting out Facts like as you come across them to share with the team And this is what you know with a 30, which is crazy.

The fact number one, the Hellfire Crown is a subcategory of cursed item called a spirit home. There's an elven word for that. That means it is not inhabited by a proper curse, but rather one or more evil spirits. In the case of the Hellfire Crown, it contains the collective malice of the fallen archdevils of the Nine Hells, destroying the crown would free those malevolent beings from their prison. It's often better to banish these types of items rather than destroy them.

Fact number two. The Hellfire Crown cannot leave the Nine Hells, but a demi plane created on the Nine Hells and connected to it through Plainar Space is still considered the Nine Hells and under all of its jurisdiction. However, a demi plane offshoot of the Nine Hells is easily accessible by other nefarious folk and the crown would easily be stolen unless, fact number three, you were able to recreate the conditions of an ancient construct called the Astral Worm. The Astral Worm was a gargantuan worm construct created by the first people of Arathas

with the express purpose of destroying cursed items safely. The Astral Worm was said to have a demi planar belly that could digest magic and safely destroy curses over time. Fact number four, the spell used to create this destructive digestion has been lost. However, Tonithin knows that the spell would require some kind of teleportation circle markings on the inside of the beast. If you could get a look at it, Tonithin you think you could recreate it and teach it to

moonshine. The astral worm has not been used in thousands of years, but was last recorded hibernating in its temple on the astral plane. The temple is on a moon that orbits the diamond blue astral pool to Mechanis, the goddess Arathas' home plane. This is the most bonkers shit ever. I know it sounds like I was making that up, but it's all from the books. It's all information that I have in here. So, Anyone else here, Astral Worm, and think, Starts phone.

Starts phone. It's gotta be related. Okay. Wow. Okay, so we are looking for a destructive magical digestion. So, are we trying to, you know, that's a solution to a lot of problems? Are we trying to get this worm too hell, or do we just need to copy the spell the worm is using to digest artifacts? I think, yeah, I think if I can see the teleportation circle on the inside of the worm, I should be able to, with my third eye, be able to reproduce it and teach it to you. Oh, and then we could teleport the crown into its tummy.

And then you could create a new prison like that. You could set it up so that it could live in... A digestive demi-plane. Yes, it could live in pender greens body. It could live in somebody else's body. It would need to be somebody who could survive the transformation. So like someone with a big strong belly.

Yeah, an automaton or some kind of monster. I look at Balnor. It's okay. He nods. I think I could handle it. Although I ate a candle last night. It didn't go well, so I don't know how. That's true.

A hell of a higher crown would go for me. The candle somehow survived and is more flammable than ever. I think you have a very, very little stomach acid. The candle came out intact. I think the candle actually came out cursed. It went in not cursed, came out cursed. The candle can cast hellish for buke now. Okay, damn.

So what, so we gotta get you into that belly? Or open the belly up, you know, defeat the worm. And is that worm just in the sky? It's in a palace on the moon that orbits the staff-ire star of Mechanis, which is the home of my deity or aphys. What are we waiting for? Hard one starts walking.

I'm just not sure I'm not that convinced. Sorry. Is it okay? Okay, then can I just blame shift us to the moon? Hard one walks back towards the group. That's how it's blind, too. I think you would be able to get to like the rough area near Arathas's domain.

Okay, then why don't I have Blane shift us to, is anyone need anything here? Anyone need a grab snack, step up, and some news. Hi, by the way, I'm Tonathon. Fantastic to meet another wizard. I'm the honest Eritrea. Excelsior. Excelsior and D.

I'm sorry, I didn't introduce y'all, that's my dad. Well, you didn't tell me you were bringing someone cool around. Oh, he's hanging out with these nerds. You're points to a hard one. Usually it's just me and Beverly. Hard one kicks in. Dirt. I've been riding his monowarm this all time.

The rest of my order amongst I was only able to fly a few of them up here are right outside the city. Oh, I can make arrangements for them to get up here. We can make arrangements to extend the city, start rebuilding your temple. That'd be awesome, yeah. I mean, we've, yeah, we've just been sort of wandering for a while, so any sort of amenities you have would be great, and they'd also be happy to help.

We would be happy to help you. I saw you just essentially have a seizure and figure out how to destroy an ancient artifact and that no one else knows how to destroy. So I guess that is what happens. Happy to have you on board. Yeah, great, happy to be here. People all look, if we're going into the sky and doing all these wizardly things,

maybe you should come join us unless you got responsibilities here. Oh, well, you see, he looks very touched and he goes, well, I do have some responsibilities here. I should help with the goliaths and whatnot. You see, Boundor pipes up and he goes, I can help out. I can get word to Erdan or I can go down and meet with the Goliaths and stuff. I'm probably not so good in flying around in space, some more of a feat on the ground guy. Sure.

So the Connissus face, he took a ginormous shit. That was in a hotel. That was in a hotel. And there was no clear bathroom. I want to make that clear to everyone, right? Well, I let you know, I was in a card. I want to make that clear to everyone, right? Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know?

Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know?

Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know?

Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know? Would that you know? Boundore goes, no, trust me, I would, again, would love to keep my feet on the ground. Why don't I go over, I'll talk to these Goliath folk, we'll get the order set up. Maybe they can train you a little bit, huh? Keep that beef coming. You see, oh, wait, Boundore, I didn't really get to talk to you much last time we met. I had made little figurines for the rest of these guys.

Oh yeah, I do remember that remember that I gave you a rock Yeah, I made I made this I made this for you and I hand bow no or a little. Oh, he takes a nerd figurine He takes this figurine. Oh wow look at him. He's he's really Little guy got a little version of me kind of reminds me my We should beautiful it's beautiful. This is great. You should play shift ready. I can play shift.

I can play shift. Hi. If you guys play and shift off, you see, as you guys are getting ready to leave, Balnor does join the Goliaths. And you guys get, look on us as new. We're going to do it. As your next member, as you guys travel to the Asyl way.

Very helpful. Yeah. as you guys travel to the Ashtal plane. Very helpful. Yeah. So you guys know like approximately where you need to go, but you're going to need to scope it out a little bit. There's not like exact coordinates, and it's moving a little bit. So you guys all plane shift to the astro plane and find yourselves in the purple silvery skies of space.

You float in the astral expanse with various degrees of control. Tonethin, moonshine, and lucanas are doing a little bit better than hard one and Beverly. Hard one is doing worst of all. You just feel like you're kind of underwater and everyone else is just like floating really freely. Or it's not used to this new big budding. I cast Mage Hand and hold it out to you to sort of

pull you along. I grab it with my Super Bowl ring hand. You're able to like wake up. I cast Shield Touch and my skeletal hand reaches that to you. Do you take it? Yeah, just two hands on either side. All right, I take a little damage.

One of them hurts a little more. You guys, you guys see in the distance the glowing astral pool of mechanics this diamond blue gate rippling with energy and affecting the gravity around it, pulling in bits of astral debris. You see nearby rocks and moons hover around it and you guys are able to pinpoint one that looks like it would most likely serve as the Astral Worms Temple. Everybody go ahead and give me perception checks. I, as a divination wizard, do have my portent.

So I should roll those before we get too far into the rolls. We got a four, we got a the rolls. We got a four. We got a 18. And we got a five. Nice. Three, four dead rolls. Oh my gosh, Borton. Love Borton.

I got a 29 in my perception. Wow. Okay, I got a 15. I got a five. I got a 15 as well. Sweet, Moonshine, you are able to see the most here. So moon shine, you find one moon that looks to be the most likely home of the astral worm. You see that it has several huge holes in it, but they are too perfectly round to have occurred by completely natural means. It looks like this is maybe where the worm burrowed

to get in and out of its cave. However, you also see another giant hole that creates a jagged mouth to the cave. And if the worm made this, it would have had to have like exploded out of the wall. It seems like a little bit unnatural. You also notice that the area around that floating moon has less floating debris and asteroids and stuff around.

It looks like- Sort of explosion, push it all away. A little bit. And moonshine, you also see just outside of the mouth of the cave is a githyonky radorship. I've heard about these. We actually met. So you met one of the Giths Rhyme.

And the Githyonky as Salis the Giths Rhyme explained to you. They're very war like folk. The Giths Rye are a collective who tries to gather knowledge and the Gith Yonky are trying to plunder riches from the material plane, from other planes, and you see an enclosed battleship with sails that look like insect wings, and don't appear to be made out of material. It looks like it's some kind of energy. There's also a battering ram in the front of the bow that looks menacing. And you see as you're watching it and kind of scoping it out, probably like hiding behind some debris,

you see a few Githyonky pirates walk out under the ship carrying, like, um, some kind of boxes, like some kind of treasure, and you also see a red dragon flying behind them carrying more. And that's where we'll end up. Wow! Wow! Dude, but we want to play more! Okay, I'm eating really though. Well, it was great being here, guys. And Nathan's got it.

How exciting is this though? Don't you remember when we were in the actual people? You were like, I wish we could have stayed with him hung out with the Getsurai and she'd be young and now we can. I'm so excited to not just hang out in the husk. Oh, yeah, you guys did not make the most of space last time. Yeah. Thanks for bringing us back to space. Yeah. We've got to one more most of space last time. Yeah. Thanks for bringing us back to space.

Yeah. We've got to one more time. I've never been before. Also, I know we'll talk about this on the short runs, but immediate roses for we have to destroy the crown in the digestive juices of an astral worm. That's good. That's very cool. It's very cool.

It's very cool. Too late to see who gets the roses and who gets the thorns. I'm short showered youth roses. Roles. It's very, it's very cool. Too late to see who gets the roses and who gets the thorns. I'm a short run. You know, it's rare that we end an episode and you guys aren't mad at me. So it's nice to all be on the same side. We're beaming.

When the dragon kills you guys next time, everybody will be mad. Anyway, thank you guys so much for listening. You guys can head on over to our Patreon, patreon.com slash nad pod. That's n-a-d-d-p-o-d. Don't see. We are not singing.
