Starting point is 00:01:20 with brush processing. Code P-A-W-P-A-W. Goodbye, Sweeties. Welcome to the campaign after the campaign. This is not another D&D podcast. Welcome back to Bahumia! Bahumia! Specifically, the Bahumia! Bohumia! Specifically the Bohumia of the Bonfraers. Oh boy.
Starting point is 00:01:49 Bonfraers! That's the Bohumia I want to live in. I am of course joined by J. Kerowitz. Pop punk hero with glasses like Mio. I was having go first. I was having go first. Also say your name. I have to be my friend.
Starting point is 00:02:06 I have to be my friend. I have to be my friend. I have to be my friend. I have to be my friend. I really shouldn't go first. And of course we've got called Lothaner. Swing in discs and taken risks. Nice.
Starting point is 00:02:16 Hungry day baby. Yes dude. And who could forget my husband Brian Murphy? Hoping to sail through clear skies with this beer guy, Mack, set up Mumford. And the returning champion, Maveris Amidakoyama. Oh, Maveris, the unschooled,
Starting point is 00:02:36 even more unschooled than the first time he met him. Wow. That's true. Accurate, completely uneducated. That is our Bonfrairs. Let's do a Accurate, completely uneducated. That is our bonfires. Let's do a little recap what happened last time. Last episode, you rode your hippofins into the mist and discovered the abandoned micro-bruse crews.
Starting point is 00:02:56 The site of this boat triggered a memory. All four of you were transported back, obviously not literally in your mind, to last night when you yourself were on the micro-brews crews being guided through some niche Bohumia brews by a halfling named Ethel and her ale house drake. Hungry Dave immediately tried to feed the drake, tread pulled moodily on the front of the ship until Mavers took a picture of him,veris tried to steal a feather from the captain's wheelhouse and you all noticed Carl texting in the corner with the maid of honor he met named Infinity,
Starting point is 00:03:33 ending with an eye instead of a Y. Hot name, hot. So good. So good. I'm just gonna have to insist stealing a feather off the ground is not stealing. That's a free feather. It's just a feather on the ground.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Then you all saw a hot merfolk, learned that merfolk used to hang out around salty peaks more, and tread drink exclusively hard seltzers. Yeah, an insult is delicious. After that you returned to the present moment where tread spotted a specter hovering on the deck. Mac tried to cast turn on dead on it But it failed in the angry specter whispered Static-y secrets at you stunning hungry Dave and causing Maveris to attack tread with his staff Maveris did that on his own. He wanted my freaking glasses Did you hit him in the schnauz dude? You think okay typical. This is typical. He broke my beak, man That's one of his best features dude. I'm so sorry about your beak, okay typical, this is typical. He broke my B, man. That's one of his best features, dude. I'm so sorry about your B, okay?
Starting point is 00:04:29 Then you all fought the Spectre and an enchanted keg of ale who came to life and shoved tread off the boat. During the fight, Maveris uncovered Stegel, the ale house drake from last night quivering under a tablecloth. You finished off the Spectre who dispersed with a static whisper, hungry Dave sent Steegle to ignite the steam, meffit-powered paddle wheels on the boat. And perhaps most important of all, Maver saved Tread's Matrix sunglasses with a clutch Maychand.
Starting point is 00:05:01 That was clutch's hell, bro. You saved the summer. I had to use a sorcery point. Yeah. Worth it. Absolutely worth it. If we die, we'll die wearing sunglasses, depending on whose turn it is.
Starting point is 00:05:14 As your boat battled the way, Stiegel told you what happened. The bachelor at party, who's made of honor, Carl was texting with, had been on the micro-bruse cruise. Something went wrong. The ship veered into the mist. Ethel and Stiegel went to go check on the captain only to find a window broken by the trident of a murphoke. There was a commotion on the deck, Ethel left the wheelhouse to check on it, and the last thing Stiegel saw was Ethel, grappling with some accidental knowledge of some
Starting point is 00:05:41 curse protected secret as her body disintegrated, leaving only a spectral memory. Mac cast Locate object on the main of honors bestie to the betrothed sash and you got a ping from a nearby island motionless. However, as you approach the island, a storm began to form as a giant bird with a man's face, specifically one that looked like Henry Cavill. A little bird from the stormy clouds, and you all came to understand that this island was protected by some powerful storm magic. And that's where you all are now. Hungry Dave and Tred, you're sopping wet with ocean water.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Mac, you're getting pings for a bachelor at sash from this mysterious island. Maveris, you've got feathertuck behind your ear and necklace in your pocket. Presumably too, actually, considering Mac gave you one. Although I don't know if you left that at the beach house. There's a chance it's under Carl's aunt's couch, like the little leg.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Did anybody check the couch skirt? I didn't check the couch skirt. Oh my God, that was just so quiet. Should we go back there before we get Carl? Cause we can get the necklace first. Do you guys think Carl's under the couch skirt? Maver's roll me a lug check to see if this necklace is on your person.
Starting point is 00:07:02 I guess they don't know what's good. Okay, 15. It is not here. Yeah, that was not to say like woodbucket and not. It was law I would have made it peeking out of your back pocket. It's okay, max not dramatic at all. You're quicker, dude.
Starting point is 00:07:18 You are all on this boat and you're currently headed straight for this island as you approach approach you can tell that the proximity is triggering some sort of storm effect. What do you want to do? All right, I feel like we've got a peas cavel bird, right? Okay, yeah, we feel like offer him something. Oh, but you want to give me like an inside check
Starting point is 00:07:38 or a nature check on this bird? Does anybody have like a graphics card? Yeah, it does an, it's got an unbuilt PC that we got a sourdough starter I could give him I don't do it. He doesn't eat carbs. You insane keep hungry Dave away from him. It could be a cheat week You don't know Kevin doesn't take his channel. There's no way. I'll answer that if you world well What did you roll on nature? I got a 21 okay? You know a couple of things first off This is definitely not a cheat week. Look at how those veins are bursting out of those wings.
Starting point is 00:08:08 I've never seen such a veiny bird in all my hopes. That bird isn't, that bird isn't ketosis. That bird needs something to do. That's disgusting. Call a lot of time to this bird. But with that, you also know that this bird, like these types of birds, these stormbirds, they know, they're not gonna talk to you,
Starting point is 00:08:25 even though he has the face of a human, he uses it for song. He's not like an intelligent sentient, he's more animal than he is human. Very much like, caval himself. That really tracks. That bird is whistling modest mouse. So fucking triple threat.
Starting point is 00:08:40 You can tell it doesn't understand what modest mouse is. The idea of a man. A lot of times their lyrics are kind of, you know, just nonsense. So, I mean, it adds up. Can I hold my feather up to see if it looks like the same kind of feather? Yeah, you hold it up. It is actually a different feather. So this Henry Cavalbert has gorgeous shimmering violets, grays, stormy plumage.
Starting point is 00:09:04 This is a white feather. This is actually a swan's feather. And it's from a breed of swan that's usually in freshwater ponds, but when you flip it over in your finger and inspect it, there's something briny about it to its core. Something's freaking briny about this feather. Yeah. That's a briny ass feather, dude. It's gonna come this feather. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Oh, yeah. I'm glad you have a briny feather, maverick. There's a fucking hot bird causing a storm on the island. So I'm not allowed to talk about my briny feather. Also, a hungry Dave, you know. You've got a win. You know, because you're looking at this bird, you know. You come a win. You know, because you're looking at this bird, you know two other things, which is that
Starting point is 00:09:49 these birds are often the familiar of wizards, witches, druids. But there's something about this bird that doesn't seem to be acting on orders more habit. Okay. Okay. It does seem weird that Caval would have a master right? Caval is pureless. I think that just makes you wonder like truly how hot is this master? Who could dominate Caval? It actually fills you with fear. Is there another castle? Is there a greater acceneval? A greater Caval, a possible elder
Starting point is 00:10:23 Caval. An elder Caval, men's fitness spoke of this but I never believed it. a greater capital possible elder cow a camel and elder caval men's fitness spoke of this but I never believed it holy shit it has to be it's got to be Amy Adams because that was the that's lowest lane the only person that had the key to Caval's heart that was super point so deep tread I haven't seen that film when I saw that movie in theaters it was with one other first date nearby and a guy kept making jokes all the time and then eventually when Superman saved his bully
Starting point is 00:10:51 was like got to be grateful though in a very earnest way. Now I think about it all the time. You know got to be grateful is a really nice mantra for the bonfrairs. Yes speaking of that okay so we've got Island we've got. Yeah you've got the island you're going towards it the windfrairs. Yes. Speaking of that, okay, so we've got Island, we've got... Yeah, you've got the Island. You're going towards it. The wind is picking up. Who's driving right now?
Starting point is 00:11:11 Oh, Stiegel's on the wheel, right? Oh, Stiegel just went to turn it on. Stiegel can't. He's a tiny little, like he's a tiny little baby. He can't. What if he sits in my lap? He can sit in your lap if you want to drive. I pretend to drive and let's dig old drives.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Someone else drive. You're the Drake's driving. So I'm going to get this. Dave, I agree, Dave. I think there's something that you could eat in the prowl. Dave, can I sidebar with you? What's up? I actually think it would be hilarious if you licked more of the floor beer.
Starting point is 00:11:44 I'm actually pretty full. doing the straight thing now. Cool. Actually, since you're going to sidebar, I will say there are new mechanics for the sidebar. They're very subtle. This is a fake sidebar. OK, well, I'll let you know what they are. I'll let you know what they are.
Starting point is 00:11:58 If you sidebar with someone and you're doing it for their sake and I don't love, they'll get a plus one on their next roll. But if you're doing it for yourself they'll get a plus one on their next roll. But if you're doing it for yourself, you get a minus one on your next roll. Oh my god. This is selfish sidebar, man. When is it ever for someone else?
Starting point is 00:12:13 Fuck. Hungry day, can I sidebar? Yeah, what's up? I think it would be kind of sick if I drove the boat. Can I sidebar with you? Can I like double sidebar? You take a step back a little further. Absolutely do that. Absolutely. Wow. Hey, Steele, can I sidebar with you. Can I like double sidebar? Take a step back a little further. Absolutely do that. Absolutely. Wow. Yeah. Hey, Stiegel, can I sidebar with you?
Starting point is 00:12:30 If you wish, yeah. Is it? All right. I know you're having a real fun time driving, but like, Maverick's like really wants a turn. Would that be cool with you? This vessel is very dangerous in my hands. So I think it sounds like pretty case closed. Hungry Dave, when you called Steekel Steekel, I thought you said stevo and I actually think we should start calling Steekel Steevo if that's cool. Love that. But on fair behavior right there. Steekel? As you are all saying all of this, the wind is picking up and you are passing the point of no return where you will enter this storm. Okay, okay. I'm low on spells so we are gonna need we are gonna need to take an afternoon nap at some point.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Do you guys want to do that before the fucking hell? Do you guys want to do it before after the storm? Let's do it before. Let's put the floor before. I'm gonna say you don't at this point you fuck so much that you're fully in this Wind whipping through my horns definitely definitely before Throwing to our Before you all shout at each other the electricity begins to spark in the air. The water's getting choppy. The winds, angrier, you see Henry Cavill burn.
Starting point is 00:13:54 As a silhouette swooping through the gathering storm clouds. And at a certain point, there's a huge splash. As eight water spouts shoot up surrounding the island on all sides with a thunderous splash all eight expanded to buff Merfolk. They are clearly some sort of conjured stormy water guardians. So as the rain begins to pelt your faces, a huge wave lifts your boat into the air and crashes you directly into the storm. Someone rolled me 2d4, add 2 and then tell me the total. I'm average you're driving.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Yeah, I'm average. I'll roll a d4. Anyone else want to roll the other? Okay, you're going to share the burden of rolling. You're rolled of 1. I'll roll the other d4. I got a 2. Okay, so 3 plus two is five.
Starting point is 00:14:47 That is how many weather events you will experience as you go through this storm. As you're going through it, what you do notice is that this is protective magic, so it is much more interested in fucking up your boat than it is actually hurting people. Whoever created this spell just wants to keep people from getting to their island, but isn't trying to fuck people. We're not on the RSVP list for the Bachelor at Party. So I guess everyone roll initiative. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Because that's how we're gonna do it. This is gonna take two rounds, and there's gonna be five weather events. That's an 11, nine for me. I caught an 18. Nine for me. I got an 18. 10 for me. All right. Before this storm can do anything to you,
Starting point is 00:15:31 Mac, you actually act first. Okay, um, fuck. Okay, I think I'm just going to prepare a reaction to heal whoever gets hurt first. Okay, interesting. So I just get into a ready position and I've got like a healing brew out. I have a keg attached to like a little hose
Starting point is 00:15:52 to spray people with liquor. Do you want to be on the deck or in the wheelhouse? In the wheelhouse. Do you have like an exterminator hose? Yes, exactly. Yeah. And who started in the wheelhouse? I think I did.
Starting point is 00:16:06 I think we're all there. I think we're all there, right? Yeah, probably all in there. OK, cool. So you're all in the wheelhouse. That is nice for you. First things first, a clap of thunder. Everyone gave me a con save.
Starting point is 00:16:16 OK. Now, and you'll know that because your boat is non-magical, it is just going to take full for everything. Yeah, I don't think we're getting home on this boat, guys. So hopefully Carl has like a ride that we can just like hop in. You can't put the beer back in the cage, guys. Yeah, those sedus went somewhere. Mac guaranteed, 100% guaranteed, boat makes it.
Starting point is 00:16:35 What? Holy shit. I got an 11. I got a 10, 21. That's a 15. Mac and Maveris take 14 thunder damage You ready to action though Mac if you want to use it. Yeah, just noise. It's just sound how's wrong I'll go ahead and just do a first-level cure wounds on Maveris cool as I just hose him down with holy beer
Starting point is 00:17:00 Just so heard you drink quick Quick drink get some beer in those wounds! Boats gonna make it. Boats gonna make it. 11HP to you. Okay, next up is, because I rolled the same number for their initiative, for the Weather Events initiative, is another weather event specifically. You were looking for Henry Cavill, the Storm Clouds part, and Henry Cavill's face twisted into an operatic orgasmic but beautiful
Starting point is 00:17:30 We're saved He's singing float on we're gonna be okay. We're gonna flow all right already all float on the song of the storm bird fills your ears Everyone give me a charisma saving throw. Oh, shit. Okay, you're showing off, dude. 16. Pass. 12. Pass. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:17:51 I got a 12 too. 21. Okay, everyone passes. No one takes any lightning damage, except for, of course, the ship, which gets struck with the electricity of Henry Cavalsox. We are just singing along. All right along all right
Starting point is 00:18:09 Treads a thread is doing that skanking dance next up is Tread so I'm not allowed to like Cast a spell on the boat like enhance ability would I be that doesn't make any alright cool? Yeah, no This boat is this boat is absolutely fucked trend this boat's gonna Fuckin make it this boat's gonna float on why do you guys have so much faith in the fucking boat max come on dude When you gonna believe in the boat, dude when you gonna believe in the boat. What is the boat your boy now? Okay, I am gonna I have I've got two songs to sing My cracking heart eggs with such fragility,
Starting point is 00:18:47 but it goes out to you to enhance your ability. Um, and I enhance, uh, max ability again. Whoa, you know, it feels redundant, but I think I'm gonna give you bears endurance again. Yes, you're on it. Is that what you had last time? You had the bull's strength. Do you have one for you? Oh, okay right. Yeah, so you have bears in dirt
Starting point is 00:19:07 So there's one for decks, but this one has constitution and then also you get you gain two D6 temporary hit points Whoa That's clever for the healer very much appreciated. Yes, all right I have I've got one more song to sing as a bonus action. Okay, wow. If you're feeling low, like you're sick and tired, well, just think of me and be inspired. And I think that one to Maveris,
Starting point is 00:19:37 to give you bardic inspiration. Oh, man, I try to hand you, I'm trying to fish out like the ox cord from the captain's. You can plug in if you want just a rain beating down everywhere. It's fully the perfect storm But just with idiots while you do this tread something has come up And I want you to roll an opposed performance against Henry Cavill to try to intimidate him Fucking gladly tread you don't have to do this man tread
Starting point is 00:20:05 There's no coming back from this! I rolled a 26. That is impossible for Henry Cavill to beat. So as you do that, Henry Cavill, here's your beautiful music after he just did his own operatic bird song and he flies back to the fucking island. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:20:24 You just saved yourself from another weather event. Stick to acting, man. Next up is Hungry Dave. Henry Cavill went away, a sad but necessary event. Can I take a look at these murfolk that are on the shore? Oh, those are like water elementals that are just in the shape of cool murphokes just for fun flavor. I want to inspect these murphoke water elementals. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:47 That's going to be at 18. So first off, they're mindless. You don't have to attack them. They're kind of just a magical effect. Like a bunch of magical effects working in tandem. But you do notice that there's an arcane energy to them, but also a raw, primal energy. And like I said, they're going after your boat.
Starting point is 00:21:06 They have like these huge fists of watery waves that they're going after your boat whether you're there or not. I guess I'll try and hit one of them and see what happens. Okay, cool. I'm gonna fling a disc. Just in a store surrounded by giants just throwing a free speech. 100 Dave, do your worst. just in a store surrounded by giants just throwing a free speech. 100 Dave, do your worst.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Win that perception, I'll give you the warning that you're gonna roll with disadvantage because there's waves everywhere and it's not frisbee weather. I'm just imagining Mark Walberg in the perfect store just chucking a frisbee so hard at a wave. So, I put my finger in my mouth and lick it and then hold it up to a win. Oh, it seems perfect.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Is there any win? It's a little windy, but I think I got it. What does that even feel like on your finger? We're all fully sideways. It's just right into the teeth of the wind. With this advantage, that's a 17. A 17. Alright, a 17 is going to hit.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Yo! Fling your B. Actually, you know what? I do like a hatchet throw, a 17. A 17, all right, 17 is gonna hit. Yo. Fling your B. Actually, you know what, I do like a hatchet throw, a overhead, so that it kind of like curves in the air, gets a little hyzer on it, if you know what I'm saying. Exactly. And yeah, I'm gonna aim it just, I guess, the closest of these like,
Starting point is 00:22:16 Murphoak's immual acroms. Sweet. Actually, you know what, I'll do a bursting arrow on it, so that hopefully you can catch one or two of the other ones. Ooh, okay. Uh, that's 16 damage. Okay, I'm going to say that you throw this frisbee. It slices off one of its long watery arms, then comes back around in bursts inside, uh,
Starting point is 00:22:39 spraying water at the other ones. Cool, that's 10 damage to the other ones. Uh, with that, can we tell if this is something we need to get past or something that we can kill. It looks it looks generally unaffected although you did slash off one of its arms. Nice. And the next up is with its other watery fist. It now crashes down on your boat. Everyone, if you're in the wheelhouse, give me a dexterity save with advantage. If you're in the wheelhouse, give me a dexterity save with advantage Still only a ten oh Seven for maveris. Oh, can I use my I don't know how you're guarded inspiration yet? It's a D it's only like a D6 right now, right? I mean I'll give you 10 is gonna pass. Oh
Starting point is 00:23:20 I rolled a four okay, so I got an 18 I got a 16 Great. So everyone hangs on to the boat. Foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo on a love check we can pretend and we can't even have one. Maybe a bullhorn. I got a two. Shout out to the do-grim. Shout out. No, in fact, you're feeling really soft-spoken right now. Um, come on. You can motivate yourself. You saying something, Maveris?
Starting point is 00:23:54 Believe in the boat. Believe in the boat. This thing's going to blow. I'm going to make a, I want to make a deception check and yell out to the water elementals and be like, we're delivering a package. There's been a huge misunderstanding. They're supposed to be delivering for the island.
Starting point is 00:24:11 We're the Hoover Eats. The Hoover Eats, yeah. Give me a deception check. Sorry. 12. OK, unfortunately, you weren't even able to deceive yourself that that plan would work. I just had to try something, guys. Your mouth got full of water and
Starting point is 00:24:29 Melty came out, man. It's just stormy that I opened my mouth in a full mouth of saltwater. Your briny feather went in there. Shut up, guys. Shut up. Believe in the boat. And just slam the door into the little cabin. And it's back around to Mac. I guess I will just do the same thing. I'll brace, but be ready to heal somebody if they get messed up. Cool. Next up is a weather event. A crack of thunder.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Fucks up your boat. Specifically, this time, it shatters the windows in the wheelhouse and it even shatters the glass tube that the steam methods that power the paddle wheels are in. What about the shades? Our methods! Oh, that's true. Everyone give me a lock check to see him. Oh my god, no, please. The most cruel DM I've ever seen in my life. Shout out to the two crew.
Starting point is 00:25:29 No. No. 13. No. 15. Uh-huh. 13. Everyone's, everyone's Matrix sunglasses are fine.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Mavers doesn't have a pair of Matrix sunglasses. He could use that to save Max. Hmm. No, yeah. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. trick sunglasses, he could use that to save Max. No, yeah. I'm just kidding. So Maverick's tackles Max, great. Get down.
Starting point is 00:25:54 I go to like look towards the window as like they vibrate and I'm just tackled by Maverick. Whoa, dude, you saved me. I could have got hit by some of that glass. Could have been really bad. I'm wearing the sunglasses. You got a lot of glass on thevericks. Whoa, dude, you saved me. I could have got hit by some of that glass. Could have been really bad. I'm wearing the sunglasses. You got a lot of glass on the pitch of your nose, dude. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:10 So many mavericks tackles, and then as you stand up, the sunglasses are now on your feet. Had to save my boy. So selfless. And then that is another weather event. Another water-released swipes down at the boat, further damaging it, but it is not destroyed yet. However, because the steam methods have been dispeled,
Starting point is 00:26:31 it's going to slow and then we'll likely be able to be pushed back and you would have to do this all over again. Oh no. So it lands, does a bunch of damage. Everyone give me another deck save. This time a little higher to not fall into the water. Oh, shout out to the two crew. I wrote a 15. 15. I still got a 10. Hungry Dave and Mac are thrust into
Starting point is 00:26:53 the waters. Oh, that is Tread's turn. Thank God you got Mac sunglasses, dude. Yes, I guess they didn't believe in the boat. We figured out. Okay, I guess, I don't know if I have anything. I'm just, can I just try to frigging grab these guys? Absolutely, yeah. Okay. Give me acrobatics or strength to try to grab them. Since I had heal, or since I was like ready to cure somebody,
Starting point is 00:27:22 can we say I'll cast Bless on Hungry Dave as we both are thrown into the ocean Yeah, I'm into it. Dude, I fucking support you Dude your beer tastes good all of it man. You're an absolute yeast genius. I spray some in his mouth as we both fall in That's a nine Okay, nine isn't gonna grab either of them all right I'll'll freaking give you guys Bartick, so you know freaking drown. I'll just sing encouragement into the way of swallowing my friends. You can only give one of us Bartick.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Oh no. Give it to Mack. Give it to Mack. I give it to Dave. Give it to Dave Trin. No, no. Like, give it to me, dude. Give it to Dave Trin.
Starting point is 00:28:02 What did you say, myras? I will take it. No, I'm just kidding. Don't do it. No, that's actually a pretty good compromise. I have to give it to Hungry Dave because he's wearing the sunglasses and we can't let anything happen. We have to protect what's left. Okay, next up is Hungry Dave. Can I just grab Mac and start heading back to our store? Give me an athletics.
Starting point is 00:28:30 That is going to be a, with acrobatics, that's a 17. Yeah, you get it. You don't even have to add the bardic inspiration. Nice. You drag him back to the bow. You wanna try and climb on or anything, use your action to climb on. Yeah, I throw a back on my back.
Starting point is 00:28:47 I got a back back. And I climb back up the side of the bow. Great, okay. So you are on this bow, unfortunately the engine is out, but you are all successfully on it. That is going to be... Mavericks, that's you. I dive on onto them.
Starting point is 00:29:06 Really, and I actually feel like, pretend like I helped. I got you. I got you. I got you. I saved this again. Thanks, Mavericks. We tried to take my glasses. What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:29:17 I'm wearing all three pairs that are left. I'll say that you guys are on a boat that, like, if you don't find a way to get this thing going, you're going to have to maybe try to jump in and swim to the shore. Can I use gust on the can I use gust on it? Can I well, I'm average you want to try gust or I was saying I could probably like breathe fire into the Oh hell yeah, if you want to do both at the same time Yes, oh, we could create steam I Throw up a bunch of saltwater into the pipe. Yeah, I'll start spraying water. Oh, this is going to be so briny, dude. Awesome. So as a team effort, hungry Dave, does it come out of your mouth? Yeah. Okay, hungry Dave. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Unloads a bunch of fire from his gut. I think I'd probably, I think I'd like drink a bunch of salt water and just make myself throw up. Oh, dude. Dude, I'm playing such an epic, like, distorted guitar riff over all this. Oh, it's so prining. Mavers is using gusts to just blow all of the rain so that the rain and the fire make steam that then gets the paddle we all
Starting point is 00:30:27 moving again. And that is the end of two rounds. With that, like the final wave, crashes your ship aboard the rocky shore. But the ship, I mean, it's fucked, but it is not. You could still ride it a little more. The ship made it. Believe in the boat. We're gonna fix this ship up. All those who believe in the boat. We're correct.
Starting point is 00:30:54 She still floats. Can I sidebar with everybody? I'm gonna hold you so hard on her. For doubting the boat. The boat will float on. The SS modest mouse. All right. We'll all boat on. We'll all on the SS modest mouth.
Starting point is 00:31:06 We'll all vote on. We'll all look on. So as the boat crashes, the storm behind you dissipates almost immediately. The magical effect is no longer being triggered. You got past it. It was kind of just an endurance thing. The waterspout elementals crash back into the sea. The wind stills to a more pleasant breeze. You see the silhouette
Starting point is 00:31:27 of Henry Cavill in the trees. On the beach, some luminescent jellies have washed ashore because of the storm. They're still glowing on the rocks or bobbing in tidal pools. Deeper in though, you see mossy grass surrounds stepping stones and trees line the path, but then they branch out, obscuring your view of what lies beyond. So it's almost like a forest, like mangroves or something? Not mangroves, but like it's a strange climate compared to like the tropical beach you were just at.
Starting point is 00:32:01 And there's an eclecticness to it that almost makes you think that it's not necessarily the climate that naturally occurred here, but one that the person who lived here enjoyed. Okay, gang, what do we think to a nice nap on the rocky shores? Because I am om tapped, freaking beach now? I guess I wanna just like post up and chill out for a bit.
Starting point is 00:32:23 I would love to just have like a beach day. It's probably deserve a beach day. It's fucked up because like I feel like we really need to be like fire under ass for Carl. But like right now we're kind of 50-50 on he got kidnapped or he went to a batch of our party without us. So I think it's fine. He could be completely fine. He could be under the couch skirt. We already said that. So I think it's self-care for us to have a beach day. That's what Carl would want.
Starting point is 00:32:49 Carl would want us to have a beach day. He would want us to build like a raging bonfire on a beach. I can create a bonfire. Maverick's already laid out his towel. We're gonna take a long rest as a beach day. Okay. Well, it's actually a beach night because you've,
Starting point is 00:33:04 I mean, this is like you can't really see us well because the light has been so diffused by the mist in the sky that sort of surrounds this whole area of the water but you know the sun has actually said and it is it is the end of your second day of your summer vacation. I cast my cantrip dancing lights, so it's just sort of like teaky torches on the beach. And it's like super chill. It's like a really, it's a cool vibe. I wish the bachelor rats were here for this.
Starting point is 00:33:32 I know you guys like humor me with my like thick stouts and stuff, so I'm gonna, I'm gonna do the Blessed Brew. We're gonna do a nice crisp summer ale and just have a nice summer night, all right? This is oh my God. Bless you. This is blonde as hell. Yeah, it is so good. There's a sweetness to it. Oh my god. And notes of citrus. Yeah, dude, is that fucking cloves? Are they're close? There's some cloves. Yeah. Oh, I never thought this day could end this way. It was pretty bad most mostly.
Starting point is 00:34:02 90% bad, but now like let's just stay up super late and then we could sleep in tomorrow. And, dude, I think I could drink like nine of these for real. Yeah, I could just keep making them, yeah. You want to keep, you guys just want, like, I know we got to rest for a little bit, but you want a party for a while. Well, yeah, we definitely should get a long rest,
Starting point is 00:34:22 but if we didn't party for about four and a half hours, I don't know what it's like eight o'clock at night It's kind of still early Like if you want a fucking party for a while, you really can okay, let's go to like midnight. We'll wake up at eight Yeah, if you went to bed right now you'd wake up tomorrow at like three a.m It'd be so easy. That would be fucked up You're gonna be fucked up right now we can party until or four, and we can still get six hours to sleep, and be up at like nine. Oh, it's fun.
Starting point is 00:34:49 It's fun. That's perfect. Yeah. Someone else remind me not to like, to find some shade so I don't wake up sunburned. Someone else remind me. There are trees you can, as long as you remember to fall asleep. Someone remind me. All right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:04 I create a bonfire a bonfire Oh, yeah, you guys have got teaky torches and bonfires tread maybe play some music Mac is making infinite brews guys This is the summer we've been waiting for and all all it's missing is Carl We'll find him tomorrow, right to finding Carl. We got our own private island, but we don't have our own private bud. That's beautiful, man. Carl is our private bud.
Starting point is 00:35:33 Well, he keeps secrets really well. Yeah, like here's the fucking thing. It's like we're sharing Carl right now, and he's our private bud. I'm confiding a fucking fly. Yeah, I've confided some shit to Carl. We famously call him the private bud. He's like a black box.
Starting point is 00:35:48 He's solid. You're thinking destroy him. And he keeps a lot of important stuff inside him. This is really beautiful stuff. As you guys speak, all of these wonderful memories of Carl, the smoke of the bonfire almost forms a silhouette of Carl. And he's almost like he's there with you. I try to take his sunglasses off of his smoke. You take two fire damage. You get away from the fire man. The drunk. Sorry. That's a good point. What does everyone want to
Starting point is 00:36:20 make sure they remember to do and then we'll do saves to see if in your drunken bonfire fueled hazy remember to do it. Okay, it might be a good tart needs to go back in the case otherwise it's gonna get like fucking warped and shit. And I keep it a drop detuning all the time and the strings are gonna get all out of whack. I think we should probably like have one person stay up to like guard so we're not all just like pass that on the beach. Okay cool, cool. You do remember to lay out my shirt
Starting point is 00:36:48 so that it doesn't get permanent salt stains in it. Great, great. And Mabra's what you're trying to remember to do. Yeah, probably rope. Just secure some sort of rope to the boat, like watch a bunch of survivor lately, and that feels like something they would do. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:02 And then the other thing would be just make sure I don't fall asleep and direct sunlight. Great. Now everyone give me intelligence saving throws for everything that they want to remember to do and then we'll see if you remember it or not. Ooh, baby. I rolled a net one. Dirty 20.
Starting point is 00:37:16 That is insane. Wait, you got a net one? I rolled a net one. I got a net one. Whoa, brother. Okay. I got it now brother Okay, hungry Dave puts his shirt into the trans guitar case and then a wave in the middle of the night takes the shirt in the guitar case out to see and Completely damages the guitar. Oh
Starting point is 00:37:40 No, oh my god, it smells so mildew I wrote a seven to tie the boat. Okay, the boat, like a couple pieces of it, drived out to sea, and then what about falling asleep in the sun? Okay. 19. Okay, never is, it says, fuck the boat, but finds a perfectly shaded spot. Since no one else did, the rest of you wake up pretty sunburned. And none of us were wearing sunglasses either.
Starting point is 00:38:11 Oh, sure. Maveris is completely in the shade wearing three pairs of sunglasses. I like to think I'm welcome. So ill rest of you. I'll try to wake up early and put them on everyone's heads. I got a 20, so Maver, remember to stay up on guard duty and maybe share it with Steagall, so he still got some sleep.
Starting point is 00:38:29 It was just so drunk that he didn't do anything when the boat got taken away. And didn't do anything when the guitar was just in a drunk stupor staring off the distance. I have a gold dragon, so my scales are so hot now. They're just baking in the sun. A sunburned dragon. I don't, oh I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don, I don, I don't, I don, I don, I don't, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, I don, any food should we crack some of these fish that are out here. Hopefully they're not like cavles. The jellyfish? Yeah. Goal to it. You want to eat it? Can I make a survival check first?
Starting point is 00:39:15 I have okay survival. Can I see if there's anything like edible on the beach like a crab that washed up or like seaweed. I got a dirty 20. Whoa. Actually, with a dirty 20, these are not just natural jellyfish. There's something enchanted about them. And specifically, you know that someone tried to enchant these jellyfish to be healing instead of hurting, but they didn't fully successfully do it. But whatever alchemical experiment happened with these jellyfish, they were still able to survive.
Starting point is 00:39:44 So they kind of just like continued and now they're just a staple of this island. Wow. Guys, I'm pretty sure we could maybe eat these. So we can eat these so they're magical jellyfish so we can eat them. They're really cool jellyfish. I mean, I think. Eat them. Okay, let's eat them. Okay. I don't know. Okay, let's eat them. Okay, like, I just like, I'm super,
Starting point is 00:40:05 I'm like super hungover off of light beer. Like I drank a fuck ton of beer and like the idea of cooking a fucking beach jellyfish, I'm my friend back and then eating that is like really foul-tread at the moment. I don't have, there's no farmer's market here. We're on an island. We do like experience things, dude.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Ruffing it, dude. Try to, you can give me some sort of like check to try to find a crab or something. I mean, I'm just gonna look for a crab for once I can before I- Or like some fish eggs or- Yeah, I just wanna see if there's like a sardine on the beach before I like eat fucking back jelly
Starting point is 00:40:41 off my friend. Okay, so I like, I hold it to. I have to eat. Okay jelly off my friend. Okay, so I hold it to. I have to eat. Okay, actually, Fred, you look into one of these title polls, and guess what you find. Is this Sardine? A jellyfish. Fuck!
Starting point is 00:40:56 Dude, Chad, you've got a jellyfish. This one's a foul. Oh, nice, more jellyfish. Oh, that's like, maybe a little old age. This one's ancient. I don't know if we can eat it. It's easy. I'm not sure if I can eat it. I'm not sure if I can eat it. I'm not sure if I can eat it. I'm not sure if I can eat it. Dude, Chad, you've got a jellyfish. This one's a foul. Oh, nice, more Joe. Oh, that's like, maybe a little old age.
Starting point is 00:41:06 This one's an ancient. I don't know if we can eat it, it seems too wise. Or is so powerful. All right, yeah, slap it on my back, sweet. Mack will do a quick, clean kill on the jellyfish, because he is like a bit of a cook. As you touch it, roll me a D8 and 2 D4s, and tell me the combination of the D4s and the D8.
Starting point is 00:41:27 Oh, okay. D8 is a two. Okay, you get two temporary hit points. Oh, sweet. Ooh. D4s a three. You lose three hit points. And other D4s a three. Okay, so you get two temporary hit points and then immediately take six damage. Okay, so I get too temperate hip points and then immediately take six damage. Okay, so they're like a little bit poisonous and also a little bit healing.
Starting point is 00:41:51 Um, and are they edible? They are, absolutely. Mac, I think you're eating it wrong. I touched it and it hurt me. So I don't know if that re-value eats anybody on whether or not we should eat this. Well you shouldn't eat it raw, dude. Do we have any more? Let's just do pocket browns and I'm gonna slap a big ol' jelly on it. No, good day to talk to those back. I think eating it wrong. Roll a D8. I roll to 8. eight temporary hip points from average and a four I roll back rolls and all of them immediately lose eight. Huh, that was fine But that's true. You're net zero. Okay, so it's just like a spicy thing like do you still feel full even though it made you kind of Yes, so it's like having Taco Bell or something so I'm just gonna eat one I'm just kind of empty calories. I think yeah, I'm just gonna eat another one. I guess still like
Starting point is 00:42:52 It's kind of like tofu look. Oh, where I give me your rolls I also got net zero. I got two two two set of four you get a little jelly in your belly It hurts and helps you at the same time, leading to a confusing nothing. Fuck it, I'll have one. What are we all? A D8, tell me what you get. Okay, I lost two hip points.
Starting point is 00:43:13 Seven? Okay, so, um, Hungry Dave, you get seven temporary hip points. Then we'll mean two D4s. Four. Hungry Dave has three temporary hip points. Of all of you, it's no surprise that the iron stomach of Hungry Dave would take this jellyfish and turn it into something good.
Starting point is 00:43:33 But yes, you all have a belly full of jelly and you're ready to start your day. This episode of NADPOT has brought to you five 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
Starting point is 00:44:07 you a truly sculpted look. And instead of making their clothes out of restricting cotton, Bird Dog's 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.

That's birddogs.com slash Papa or promo code Papa for a free Yeti-style Tumblr. You won't want to take your bird dogs off, we promise you. Okay, that's it for me, go team pants, and enjoy the show. Okay, all right, so what is on this island that we spent 12 hours sleeping and partying on? It honestly feels
Starting point is 00:45:08 Quiet all you know is that there's a path of stepping stones and These trees that line it and then fan out to obscure your bio Yeah, I mean we could just go up the stairs. That's the only place to go That's not littered with these fucking jellyfish that are gonna make me y'all if I fucking see them anymore. I mean, I don't hate that. Also, we can talk a little bit more in the future about like respecting your meat, like the things that like gave their life so like you could have a meal tread. Okay, yeah, if you need to sidebar with me dude, we can do it now.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Mac, it's just like, are we gonna do that right now? We're probably not gonna do that right now, but let sidebar that sidebar Okay, we'll plan on a future sidebar Wow dude Mac you're so spiritual. I love that man Yeah, actually you know what? Matterson and Dave give me like an insight to see if you send some of this drama going down I'm rolling like crazy good right now. 21 on stuff that matters.
Starting point is 00:46:07 Maverus, your boys are not in a good place with each other right now. There's a drama of my boys. Hey, my boys. Why don't we just have a quick check in about our goals for the day? Make sure that we're on the same page, that we're on the same site.
Starting point is 00:46:24 All right, so it seems like Max goals are to make me feel like a piece of shit My goal is to have a good fucking summer and I can't do it max Max and be negative all day. All right, that's all okay. I'm sorry that I'm being negative about like the earth Okay, he's just mad because his guitar got permanently waterlogged That is true I hadn't considered that at all, that you had just lost your guitar. And so for me to value the jellyfish over you in that moment,
Starting point is 00:46:51 over your feelings, was fucked up on my part. So I like fully apologize. I'm going to say something that I don't know if Tread has admitted to himself, but some of you might have picked up on. Tread's guitar is fucked. Okay, so that really fucking sucks for me. And I appreciate you letting me know that you noticed that I'm having a rough day so far. And I want to apologize to you because I know you have spent your entire life carrying a lot about animals. And I didn't mean to be so flippant
Starting point is 00:47:23 in that moment. I don't care about animals so much as I care about like the preparation of food and also you don't care about animals. No, no, take it. I don't like them, no. Mac, you were so close. All right, okay. So I do you guys want to enter the aisle?
Starting point is 00:47:39 I want to make sure everyone has their sunglasses back. I just was keeping them just because I was worried about the Yeah, cuz you have a cool briny feather. This is like final fantasy 7 accessories style like Stunning display of friendship mavers helps tread and Mack talk through their feelings and then returns everyone their matrix sunglasses holy shit, all right. Let's enter the let's enter the matrix their feelings and then returns everyone their matrix sunglasses. Holy shit. Alright. Let's enter the matrix. And you enter the matrix beyond the stepping stones.
Starting point is 00:48:13 So you follow the stepping stones to a clearing. So you're going, there's trees on either side, but then they part and there's a nice clearing. Obviously a very intentional one. With a garden and a small cottage. There's a greenhouse jutting out from the cottage. The garden is overgrown, but it looks as if at one point to have been meticulously cataloged.
Starting point is 00:48:36 This is like a studious gardener. There are also some more tidal pools, but this time they look, again, intentional. There's small salt water ponds to cultivate certain creatures of underwater flora. There are a few trees. Some are blossoming fruits that shimmer in the diffused sunlight from the mist. A bee's nest dangles from one of the trees branches. There are vegetables with time and weather-faded labels
Starting point is 00:49:07 and a kneeling board that a gardener might use, but again, overgrown with these weeds. There's a section of strange flowers. There's fuzzy dandelions, the size of a basketball and moon flowers, which are just blues on flowers. Do we see any penis shaped accessories that might have been dropped by a bachelor at party or maybe like a clutch or an espadrille?
Starting point is 00:49:32 Give me an investigation. That's a 21. Davis a lot of sisters. With a 21, you find something penis shaped. It's a zucchini. Okay. I pick it and hold it up. Yo, guys. Okay, that's hilarious. Do you feel like it looks like a dick? God. I didn't even realize that. What if? Hey, what if this was my dick? Oh, whoa. What are you talking about? Right? Doesn't this place look like a puzzle? Oh, like,
Starting point is 00:50:03 like that you would find like a picture of something that would be a puzzle? Yeah. It does look like a puzzle. Oh, like that you would find like a picture of something that would be a puzzle. Yeah. It does look like a picture. Like it feels picture-esque. It feels like someone's dream. It feels like someone lived a very peaceful, curious, private, quiet life. Cool.
Starting point is 00:50:19 Should we go into that house? Yeah. Yeah. I guess we could have slept here last night. Yeah. There's just a fucking house. Yeah. I guess we could have slept here last night, but we went in there. There's just a fucking house. Yeah. Beach was a good vibe.
Starting point is 00:50:28 So it was a good vibe for like the first bunch of hours, but like I'm so sunburned right now. There were some drawbacks to the beach. Yeah. If there was, if there's any like unspoiled food in here, I'm gonna be legit mad. Like I'll actually be upset. I mean, there is.
Starting point is 00:50:41 There's a vegetable garden right here. Okay, yeah. I'm definitely gonna pick some vegetables to use like anything unusual so that I can use it as ingredients in the future. Right. Oh, wow. Do you want to know what you see in the vegetable garden? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So you go over to the vegetable garden. The very first thing that happens is from a patch of leaks in garlic, a little onion man pops out, slashes your ankle with a blade of grass. Oh, what the fuck? Oh my God. For five slashes damage.
Starting point is 00:51:13 This is, to him, this is worse than the ghost. This is worse than any, just absolutely losing is just screaming. The onion man does it. Immediately run away though. What the shit? kill him kill that little fuck. I'm gonna fire both the onion man Teemo I have to warn you the onion man has very good still Okay, I think I Mabris just was thinking about having the first salad. He's ever eaten and like two weeks
Starting point is 00:51:44 Maverick just was thinking about having the first salad he's ever eaten in like two weeks. Right. And like, and then this happens and immediately feels wrong. This food is fucked up. These vegetables are doing nothing for us. I'm not going to tell you what you rolled. Everyone tried to give me a perception check. Find him. Where is he?
Starting point is 00:51:58 Where's that little fuck? Oh. Well, what happened to like respecting your food? This one. With beating up my friend. You really hurt my friend Didn't respect me eat red and if you need to sidebar get you just say it to me Okay, well neither do the jellyfish cuz that one's telling you right?
Starting point is 00:52:13 It's on me too But it also filled our bellies where you need another mapper it's fucking intervention. That's a 15. I got a 17 I got a 16 The onion man got a 22 stealth. He disappears into the weeds. All right. What about Steve, though? Is there any other fucking weird ass dudes in here?
Starting point is 00:52:33 I have my axe out just like walking around like ready. Who fucks in here? You see some regular food like zucchinis and squashes. You also see some that like look as though they've been experimented with, there's like tomatoes, the size of blueberries, blueberries, the size of tomatoes. I'll get a, I'll get a, oh, get a blue meadow.
Starting point is 00:52:52 Yeah, it's a, it's like a really, it's really tender like a blueberry. So it's like a really ineffective way to transport the fruit juice, but yeah, it's there. And you could like spike a seltzer with that. That would be awesome. Tread, but yes, there. You could like spike a selter with that. That would be awesome. Tread, you absolutely need to watch yourself, Tread. Tread stands behind members.
Starting point is 00:53:10 You also see some phosphorescence in the dirt. You see like some very like leafy tops of some kind of root vegetable. And through the dirt, you even see a little bit of luminance. Is that a glotato? Glotato. Since the last thing that was underground, fucking attacked me, I'm going to go out of character
Starting point is 00:53:31 and slightly disrespect this food. And I'm going to Mario 2 style. Start to pull it out. All right, you pull it out. It's a carrot. It's just a cool sort of glowing carrot. It's just a cool sort of glowing carrot. It's just a fucking glowing carrot everybody. Can I make a-
Starting point is 00:53:51 Can I make a perception check to see if there's any hops in this garden for a piece offering? Oh, yeah, do it up! Okay, I only rolled a three. You only rolled a three? I mean, you don't know what hops look like. You're a self-circuy. That's fucking true. That's fucking crab grass. That's fucking crab grass. Redwalks back to check it and get stabbed by an onion.
Starting point is 00:54:14 Oh, fuck. I'm gonna keep heading towards this cabin. I'm gonna pocket the glowing carrots. How many glowing carrots are there? We brought me a D4. Two. There's two gluing carrots. I pocket them.
Starting point is 00:54:27 Great, so y'all want to go to the cottage. Yeah, yeah. Cool. You approach the door of the cottage. On either side, you do notice it almost looks like maybe a garden statue, but if you look closer, it's two small statues of Gorgon, which are the immortal snake-haired sisters
Starting point is 00:54:46 and you enter the cottage. It is a one-room cottage. At the center of the room is a large fringed carpet under a queen and wing back reading chair with a side table with an empty china tea cup with a few leaves dried in it at the bottom. There's also like a stained glass floor lamp. You can tell by the fact that there's no heat or electricity that it's lit up by a continual flame. There's also a kitchenette in the corner with some alchemical beakers, a bookshelf against the wall that's bursting at the seams with books. There's even folded paper cranes flitting about it with their wings making the sound of flipping pages of a book.
Starting point is 00:55:33 There's also, Tread, you notice, a stand with a beautiful acoustic guitar on it and some handwritten sheet music. There's like potted plants everywhere. This is like total someone's cottage dream. There's cottage core. Sea glass wind, it's cottage core. There's sea glass wind chimes that jingle, even though there's no outside air flow.
Starting point is 00:55:59 It's very, very peaceful. But again, it doesn't look as though someone's been living here for a while. Hello? Hello? Hey? Hello? Hey? Hello? When you're? Can I pick up that guitar and see if I see if I can tune it to like drop D real quick? Tread, you pick up this guitar. First off it is uncannily light. This is made with wood from the whisper wood outside of Glade Home. So this is an uncannily light. This is made with wood from the whisper wood outside of Glade Home. So this is an uncannily light, delicate, resonant acoustic guitar, but when you go to tune it, even though you get the sense this thing hasn't been
Starting point is 00:56:35 played in years, it is perfectly in tune. I play a fucking huge power cord on it. Dude! Dude, give me a wisdom save. Oh, shit. That's a five. You take four psychic damage, but you do successfully play your power cord. Oh, it was worth it. I hope you make it obvious. But you guys here, Tread just absolutely makes the most beautiful. What do you want this power cord to sound like?
Starting point is 00:57:08 Like the opening two cords of Blink 182's, all the small things. Okay. The rest of you could fucking swear you are to Blink 182 concert. The second Tred's fingers touched those strings. DeWong? DeWong here?
Starting point is 00:57:24 Oh my God, this is the proud-looking nicest thing anyone's ever said. David's holding a teacup and inspecting it and just drops it when he hears. Tread, there's music here. Is it maybe a password or something so you could actually play this and not hurt yourself? Ooh, and that sheet music. Yeah, there's a new music. But you can give me an insight. Yeah, all right, I'll take a look at this sheet music. I'm mostly self-taught, but yeah, I'll take a look at this sheet music. Yeah, there's no need to be over here. But you can give me an insight. Yeah, all right, I'll take a look at this sheet music.
Starting point is 00:57:45 I'm like mostly self-taught, but yeah, I'll take a look at this sheet music. And I'll do an insight on his guitar and stuff. I need you to give me an honest answer right now, Tread. Can you read sheet music? I, Treads more of a tab sky. Okay, this is actually just chords and not power chords. This is like real chords.
Starting point is 00:58:06 I think I could probably decipher some like, if they're basic chords, I might be able to know like some notes. And Mack, you wanted to look at the guitar. Yeah, I just wanted to see how magical it was. I got a 23 on my handset. Oh, sorry. I got better than that. I got a 24.
Starting point is 00:58:23 With a 24, you know that the reason that tread took that damage was because he hasn't attuned himself to this instrument. So if he spent a half hour noodling on this thing, the guitar would become his and it wouldn't, you know, be difficult for him to play. Dude, this is like if DeLong just like walked up to a C-Phone green Stratocaster
Starting point is 00:58:50 and just started like freaking out on it. Like you need to respect this instrument. Just like we need to respect the little onion men that come out of the ground and attack us. Yeah. DeLong didn't just like get to build his own custom Strat after Dude Ranch. He had to exactly tell, take off your pants and jacket.
Starting point is 00:59:06 Yeah, I was gonna say, I'm a bit even more so take off your pants. Actually, while all this is happening, Hungry Dave, give me a perception check. Cool. And anyone else who wants to investigate anything else, let me know what you're looking. Can I make a history check?
Starting point is 00:59:19 Yeah. Ooh, I got a 15 on investigate, just like around the room. I guess I'm gonna look at the books and stuff. I got a 15 on investigate just like around the room. I guess I want to look at the books and stuff. I got a history check for 16. And Dave got a 13 on perception. Dave's head is on a swivel looking for a PS3. It's typically a PS3. For him to eat.
Starting point is 00:59:35 Dave, something does catch your eye, which is there's a little workstation with some metallurgy on it. Clearly a place that maybe this person used to adorn and decorate weaponry. And with your history check, I'll just throw in some history stuff, Mavers in general. The thing that they were working on last
Starting point is 00:59:55 was a pair of bracers that a Murphoke would wear. And on the side of it, there's pictures of Murphoke with like ranged weapons and bows and arrows and stuff like that. Do you all think I could like pull off some bracelets? Actually, with your history check, Mavers, I'll tell you that you know that this is so that a Murphoke could fire a ranged weapon underwater without the water resistance impairing it. Dave? I'm gonna gas you up for a second here. I think you look really fucking cool with these bracers on. I think you could be a bracelet guy. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:34 Dave blushes really hard. You the sunburned dragonborn blushes even further. Are you a red dragon? You get sunburned more inside. We all need a lo. We're fucking shit. Slap them on me, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:52 And then Mac, you said that you were investigating the bookshelf? Yeah. Cool. So you go over to the bookshelf. Like I said, you see there's like this, these fun little enchanted folded paper cranes flitting about that sound like the flipping of pages of a book. You also see there's tons of books.
Starting point is 01:01:09 A lot of them are old and faded, but one does stand out. It's a journal bound in lizard skin. Whoa. Absolutely pull that out of the old book shelf. So as you start to skim through this lizard skin book, maybe Matt versus looking over your shoulder too, so there's some history and some context coming into play. D-9?
Starting point is 01:01:35 D-9 if I look over your shoulder? Yeah, that's cool. It's just coming in kind of hard to read, but you're, I cover Steve O's eyes. I want to see. No. And you read this personal journal of a high-elf druid from Glade Home. As you skim through it, you first read about her arriving at the island, delighting in the privacy of it. You read her growing fascination with the sea and her wizardly side coming out as she studies the ink of
Starting point is 01:02:06 octopuses and a unique breed of jellyfish that can produce by cloning themselves. A little later, she mentions developing a friendship with the murfolk, tending to their wounds when they get caught in the fishers' nets. She gets even like a little indignant about it and from this journal you actually learn that that she is the one who conjured this mist to protect them. Then she talks about another high elf from Glade Home finding her which she's you know torn on but she you know she was clearly in her own little bubble, right? And this other high-off comes along, tells her about the war against Osmodius. This other high-off is angry. They're raging against someone named Lucanus Aertea for squandering the long lives of elves
Starting point is 01:02:57 in battle. They complain that while humans that die at battle are robbed of decades, elves are robbed of potentially centuries when they fall in battle. This druid is conflicted by this visit from this high-all from where she grew up. She likes her privacy, but she also feels a duty to the city that she was raised in. But then at that point, the notes get shorter and more scattered and infrequent. She starts referencing magics that she's inexperienced with, blood magic, necromancy, reckless hybridization. There's a couple entries towards the end that are like,
Starting point is 01:03:33 I'm close, I think I found a solution. Then the final page is just a doodle, but a intricate one, clearly one done with vision and passion. It looks like a series of liquid-filled pods, shiny and translucent like fish eggs, but longer and more cylindrical with something forming inside. And that's what you stand there, skim through this entire fucking journal, and that's what you stand there skim through this entire fucking journal and that's what you get. Gang, have you guys ever played or seen Resident Evil? Yeah, what do you think I was looking for PS3? Yeah, so we're in it. I tell everybody what I read that there's these two elves
Starting point is 01:04:26 and there was one who lived here and one that was upset about elves being killed in battle. Yeah, you guys know because for the party plane, the party plane is near Glade Home and that's where a lot of you are from. I think all of you are from the T-flink party plane, right? Mm-hmm. So you know, like the war with osmode has just happened.
Starting point is 01:04:43 This is clearly from a time when it was starting to happen. You guys have maybe heard of Luchonis Artea. He's like this guy in Gladehome. That's influential in politics. And he really, really argued that the Hylves should go to war against Osmodeus. And it was controversial. And clearly whoever visited this druid.
Starting point is 01:05:05 This druid clearly had like left-glade home, but then was visited by a glade home elf who was kind of saying like, hey, this is fucked up, you need to help. Does it look like there's signs of a struggle at all in here? Are you looking for anything unusual or anything like that? What's unusual? You notice a pair of jeans crumpled in the corner.
Starting point is 01:05:23 What? What? Which like does not match the cottage core aesthetic at all wait what okay? Can I inspect the jeans because this seems like fucking epic bonfire behavior happened in here What if they're like Carl's jeans dude or the fuck or fucking infinity? What the Levi 501's that's Carl's plan. Are they J. Crue or made well? I need to know. Did they close?
Starting point is 01:05:47 Did they close the cabin? Shit dude, that's an 18 on my inspection. These jeans are magical and there's like a strong pole to put your hand in the pocket. I do it. Okay, as you reach into the pocket of the jeans, the world on onion comes out now. The world collapses around you
Starting point is 01:06:07 and you are transported to a pocket dimension, specifically a pocket walk in closet. Ooh, nice. What? It's a pretty bare closet actually. It looks very utilitarian even though there's space in it. You see on a metal rod, there's a few empty hangers, three hangers you see scuba suits and then folded on the ground you see a pile of floral rompers
Starting point is 01:06:35 and on top of that a pile of little bachelorette sashes. And there's one more thing that you see that's pretty fucking interesting. Tell me. Next to these scuba suits is a duster. Specifically one that looks just like the duster that Keanu Reeves wears in the Matrix. Something epic happened here. Oh my god. Trent, where'd you go?
Starting point is 01:07:02 Trent! Jesus, hey Trent! Trent, you guys can go into the fans too. Come in here, quick dudes! We've got jeans. Flip first into the... All right, you got the beer. You see everything that Trent just saw,
Starting point is 01:07:17 these three scuba suits, this Matrix Duster, this little pile of bachelorette outfits. Does it look like there were other scuba suits for, and like a lot of them have been taken, okay. There are four, there's four rompers and there's four empty hangers. Gosh. Whoa, so the Bachelorette went scuba diving.
Starting point is 01:07:37 That's a wild weekend. This is strange. They're really living it up. So what's going on with this Duster? Oh. Yeah, is this, I feel like it would make most sense for me to wear the duster. It seems well, interesting you would say that.
Starting point is 01:07:51 I feel. Does anyone want to like interact with a duster, learn more about the duster? Yeah, I'll just, I'll take a look at it. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Can I take a look? We both are just like looking at it. Like as if we're both gonna take it like one fall
Starting point is 01:08:04 all the way up in my head. Yeah, I'm just like, at it like as if we're both gonna take it like one fall out of my Just like yeah, this is interesting. It's like a magic way back. I put you on my shoulders. We could both wear the Duster. Seems cumbersome. Seems like a cumbersome way to live. I could also just wear it by myself. No, don't listen to me. I'm going to write. I'm going to Roll up persuasion check to try to persuade I'm going to roll a persuasion check to try to persuade I don't know I don't know if this is maybe there's something else that makes sense for you Okay, like a ronfer. That's gonna be I think it's gonna be wait
Starting point is 01:08:39 I roll the 18 and I add eight What I'm gonna say give me a wisdom save to not be persuaded by this. 21. All right, Maverick, you successfully. What do you say to Mack to sort of make your case? Mack, I respect you so much and I really appreciate you picking up this slack and kind of leading this crew while I'm sidebarred fully. This is not in front of her.
Starting point is 01:09:02 I'm glad you guys are sidebar. I felt like one. I really respect how you kind of picked up Carl Slack and really are kind of being the glue of this group. And, you know, if I'm going to be honest right now, like, I just feel like it would be really cool for me to wear that jacket. You're saying like, as the leader,
Starting point is 01:09:23 I should probably wear like a scuba suit because like that's what the other people are exactly exactly what I'm saying. It's actually really out. Yeah. Unfortunately it does add up for you Mack. I also like the idea of they're just being like a small but stahis. The suit hanging right next to a super long duster. Just being so clearly wouldn't fit your wearing the duster. And it's just that is true. The duster at this yeah, Mac the small dwarf if you wore this duster there would be about like a foot of extra fabric that you would constantly try to wear. A tail wedding train. Okay, well if we're thinking Carl closed under water,
Starting point is 01:09:58 well we better we better suit up suit up the D gene. Can I yeah I want to can I make an insight check on the the duster. I don yeah, I want to, can I make an insight check on the, the, the, the, the duster? I don't even know what it does. I just know that Mavers would have really wanted it. 16. This duster is two, it's like a, a powerful combination of two different types of cloaks. One is called the cloak of the manta ray.
Starting point is 01:10:23 Yes. It gives you a swim speed and you can breathe under the water. Oh my god. The other is the cloak of billowing. As a bonus action, you can make it dramatically billow. I don't it. And I just sort of billow there for a second. Tread looks down at the ground and then reluctantly hands Maverick's neosonic like glasses. D9, D9? Yeah, really, it makes no sense for me to have them. I turn away from everyone and then turn back slowly.
Starting point is 01:10:55 Holy shit. Yeah, you needed the glasses. He's just so right. Give me a performance check with triple advantage. OK. OK. Performance, performance? I got a, uh, 18. It's okay.
Starting point is 01:11:10 No, it's good. It's good. Pretty solid. Hey, I take, I untie the little briny feather. You stole a little bit. Okay, I take a riny feather. Hand it to Trent. Hey, is that, are you at all interested in this feather?
Starting point is 01:11:23 Interested? I'm honored. Is that, are you at all interested in this feather? Interested? I'm honored. Tried to also wearing a romper and it's like, sorry, when you guys had suit up, I was like, yeah. No, we're going into the water. Do we get the sense that Carl was with the bachelor at party still? Do we see anything of Carl's left over here?
Starting point is 01:11:44 You don't see anything of Carl's left over here? You don't see anything of Carl's left over here. I'm gonna take one of these, is Infinity sash here? Yeah, the bestie to the betrothed is here. I will take her sash just in case that we have any way of magical means of finding somebody. So I'm gonna grab her sash and then we'll scoop it up. And I guess we exit the little pocket plane. So great, so the jeans spit you all back out.
Starting point is 01:12:08 Mavers is now wearing this awesome tuster. The rest of you are wearing scuba suits, which actually are made out of the skins of bully wugs. Oh, it's a thing that you can do. Mac, how do you feel about this? See, she was insane, that's something to do this. She looks like a bad idea, but it works. I don't know. Are these poss-
Starting point is 01:12:27 Are these possum made? I'm looking a little tag. He's just weird that they included the mouths and the smiles and the teeth. Actually, Mack, give me a little check. Perception? Yeah, or investigation or something. Ten. You know what? You just fucking know this shit because this is your shit. Underneath the sink, there is a vat of ale.
Starting point is 01:12:48 What? With some scribbled notes on the side, timing its fermentation with the moon and the tides. But more importantly than that, you see a jar of brewers yeast. I say beer enthusiasts, you know that yeast strains play like more of a part in imparting flavor and aroma than the average beer consumer might know, right? Right. And you also know that like certain monastic traditions would
Starting point is 01:13:14 pass down a certain strain of prized yeast over the years and keep making beer from it. Oh my god, secret island beer. Yeah, but you also know that yeast is a fungus that's alive. This yeast feels more alive than other yeasts you've encountered. Okay, um, holy moly, okay, you got really yeast-y beast. I'm really good. I'm really, I've never been better. I'm gonna take the yeast and put it carefully in my path. And then I'm going to take a sip of the ale to see if it... Does it look like done? Does it be like over fermented actually? This would be because it's been like fermenting for so long.
Starting point is 01:14:01 Actually, if you're gonna open it, give me a little like check because it's probably gonna explode. Conceiving throw. I would say like, give me a deck save just to get out of the way. Look out! Just like exploding off of it. 15.
Starting point is 01:14:13 15, you popped this cork into the sky, but dodge out of the way. Whoa, whoa. Mavericks like Matrix leans out of the way. So motion. Does your cloak billow has you do it? Of course. Matrix leans out of the way. So motion. Does your cloak bellow as you do it? Of course.
Starting point is 01:14:28 Yeah, you take a sip of it. It feels like whatever, it feels like whatever the yeast could do. It's gone funky because it's just like, it's kind of skunked at this point. Can I, does this magic yeast look like I can do, because obviously I'm a magic brewer. Yeah. I don't do, I don't need to take as long to make regular beer. I can like, in chant beer, can I like make up a quick batch of this and put it in my little keg? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:51 Sweet. I'm absolutely gonna do that. Yeah, since you're a magic brewer, like, yeah, like you don't need to do the other formalities that a regular brewer would. Great. I've actually taken a bunch of hits from like touching stuff.
Starting point is 01:15:02 So could we do like just like a quick hour short rest? Yeah, that'd be a good time for Tread to attune himself to his instrument. Yeah, let's do that. Let's get our stuff right. Yeah, okay. Yeah, Tread, I'm gonna maybe need to know from you like what, personally you wanna do to attune yourself to this instrument.
Starting point is 01:15:19 I don't know what Tread usually does to like make a connection and a bond with an instrument. You can of course, you do have this. You could also use this time to try to repair your fucked up guitar. I look at my guitar and I'm like, ah, fuck this. And I sit down with the new Elvin whisper wood guitar and I'm going to play my song of rest. That's what I'm going to use my most time with. Oh yeah.'m gonna play my song of rest. That's what I'm gonna
Starting point is 01:15:45 I'm gonna use my first time with. Oh yeah. I dare lyrics for the song of rest. Oh yeah, of course. This summer sun is the fucking best. So let's all take this short little rest. his short little rest. The catalog is so deep. And yet, yeah, that was so different style. It was just so tender. Your fingers on these strings, the strings give like melting butter to your fingers. You are in complete command of this instrument now. This is fucking carabbo level.
Starting point is 01:16:23 And now I'll make, I'll make the beer. I think that you maybe won't know what happens with the, like, there is something special that comes from this, but I think maybe you won't know until it comes into play. Does it taste good? It tastes like the best beer you've ever made. What is your dream beer?
Starting point is 01:16:44 For Mac, I think him doing all these super thick beers is him trying to be more of a beer snob than maybe he actually is. I think truly Mac's favorite beer would be like, like a crisp summer ale, like just like. Like a Sam Adams? For this time, like not a Sam Adams, like a seasonal ale, sit like Sam Adam is spent for this time like not a Sam Adams like a seasonal ale Sit like some sandress maybe is on maybe like a
Starting point is 01:17:11 Yeah, like a saison Formhouse definitely not a chant But just like something with maybe like a pale like a pale ale or a Saison great. That's exactly what it tastes like. This is a really fucking good, guys. You all sip on it and like you feel Just a little something extra. This is Chris shit. This is your best brew. This is fucking Chris man. Well, really yeah This is really drinkable and I'm really liking it cottagecore IPA Love that name. Love this beer, love my boys. Wow.
Starting point is 01:17:46 And on that note, did you guys have anything else that you wanted to do in here? Can I try and wear the jeans? Yeah, you reach for the jeans, right? And it's almost like one of those fake dog turds where it's like in the little shape that it's in. But you could try to twist your body into that shape. Yeah. Dave, be careful. a little shape that it's in, but you could try to twist your body into that shape.
Starting point is 01:18:05 Dave, be careful. I'll give you the help actually. I'm actually surprisingly flexible, so yeah, let me give it a shot. Well, it's just like that they're not, they're not pants. It's definitely like your legs will be bent in weird places. You're trying to put your legs into a statue essentially. Yeah, it looks more like a sculpture than anything. Oh, it's like a cupboard,
Starting point is 01:18:27 or it's like a cabinet in the shape of jeans, I got you. Let's try to find where they enter the water and go there. Cool. What are you doing to try to find where they entered the water? Does anybody have good investigate? Does anyone have decent investigation?
Starting point is 01:18:41 I have decent survival. I have pretty good investigate too. Sweet. I will go good investigate too. Sweet. I will go ahead and you know what? Maybe if Maverick has good survival to check for tracks, maybe I'll bless Maverick. And if you can give him Bardick, then maybe he'll get a super high.
Starting point is 01:18:55 Whoa. Maybe we can get him going. Yeah, definitely, Brad. Do you want me to sing this song again? Because I have the same point. I like, if you're feeling low, you're sick and tired. Will you think of me? I'm again, cause I have the same one. Like, if you're feeling low, you're sick and tired, you'll just think of me, I'm being inspired.
Starting point is 01:19:08 19 on the dice. Whoa. 19 on the dice. So plus you get a D4 for Blast plus two, so 21. So 21 plus, you don't even use your bardic inspiration. Your, your duster, your neo duster is billowing behind you as you survey the scene. Everything goes slow motion And you do see flipper tracks that disappear under the rug in the middle of the room
Starting point is 01:19:32 Whoa what hey, I was thinking we were gonna have to go in the ocean It's a good thing we look for fucking flipper tracks. I thought of this rug right when we got here and immediately forgot Let's pull open the rug. We pull up the rug. Okay, you ripped the rug out from underneath this sweet little reading the center of the room and there is a door. What?
Starting point is 01:19:55 Like a circular trap door. Okay. These bats are at snow something. They knew it's, is this an after party? Like if we didn't, we didn't know that there was like an after hours thing. I feel like we would have- We've been invited to no stage of the party, the socks.
Starting point is 01:20:08 Yeah. Okay, well the bonfrairs are fucking party crashers. Okay. Okay, let's open the door. All right, open the door. Great, you grab the metal handle of the door and tug and nothing happens. It's locked.
Starting point is 01:20:24 What? Oh. Okay, I guess we have to go home. Is there a locked, is there like a keyhole or anything? Can I magehand it from the other side? Ooh. Sure, yeah. You summon a magical cantrip that just sort of fumbles at this locked door. Everybody shut up.
Starting point is 01:20:44 Everybody shut up. everybody shut up. My cloak is billowing. Does it seem locked by magic or does it seem locked by like a key? There is literally a key, but in multiple senses of the word. Oh my god, I think I've got to go sit down and learn how to fucking read music. Oh my god, dude. You have to play the song to open it. Wait, what?
Starting point is 01:21:08 Tread Chugs, Max Brew, and then sits in front of the sheet music. Tread, give me an intelligence or maybe even a performance check. If I can do a performance, then that's a 20, a dirty one. Tread sits down and he plays a couple of these chords that have been handwritten. And then you hear the loudest rumbling scraping of metal as this door slides into the floor and reveals a shoot. and reveals a shoot. And you see that it actually forks.
Starting point is 01:21:47 And as you look down into it, it feels, it gives you almost like that feeling of vertigo. This shoot goes deep. In fact, you believe this shoot goes to the bottom of the ocean. And that's where we'll end our episode. Whoa! Whoa! I want to jump. Oh my god. That was so cool. Oh man. I wanted to spend like three episodes in this in this cottage. Yeah, that's so true. There's a lot of stuff in there. Hey, you technically haven't left. If you want to
Starting point is 01:22:22 try and find whatever you can, you know, we got to jump down the phone. We're on the short rest. Let's, let's pick apart the entire cottage on the short rest. Yeah. Yeah, I'll tell you everything that was in it. You know, let's see architectural documents, if you all mind. Yeah, we'll have the floor plan available on Patreon actually. It's mostly like an apothecary cabinet. Oh, yeah. carry cabinet. Cool. So thanks everyone for listening. You can hear us talk more on our Patreon at patreon.com slash nad pod. That's N-A-D-D-D-F-O-D.
Starting point is 01:22:54 We are. We are. We are. Does anyone have anything to plug? I would love to plug our PO box again. We have a bounty of treats that have arrived, and I'm just trying to get through all of them and give shout outs as necessary.
