An old man who demands you sit on his lap? That's politeness. I have to say, yeah.

Give me cookies. In England, you give him brandy. You give him brandy and a mince pie. But it's so funny. I thought you were going to say in England, you give him biscuits. No, you give him brandy and then he gets absolutely... And then he drives? Tonked and then he drives to the stage.

It's basically the reindeer drive. Yes, the day also gets blessed. They get carrots. That's so funny to imagine Santa going to every house in the world and getting a little brandy in each of them. It's like 10 houses in. It's like, whoa, it's going to every house in the world and getting a little brandy in each of them. It's like 10 houses in. It's like, oh, it's gonna be a long night. I'm gonna lie down in the house.

I'm gonna lie down in the house. I guess he got like some padding, so he can probably throw a fucking bag. But he only drinks one night a year. Yeah. Drew, the rest of the year, he's just making toys and hope he's getting brandy. Yeah.

He's so hungover yelling at elves to stop making toys. Stop that hammering Jesus Christ. You all have to stop one night. Oh, wow. I mean, speaking of Santa possibly flying and falling through the air, that's as good as a segue as I can do. Let's get into a recap of where we left off last time.

In our last episode, we started with the riddle or rather pitch meeting of the robo's finks, where Brindle is methe immediately pitched an idea she knew to be incredible. The crew pitched a range of ideas and ultimately found an idea so attention-seeking that Nemfari, the self-obsessed finks, had no choice but to award them full points, leaving Noah and the two other dwarves to be sucked out of the competition. With their spot in the final round of the interview secured, Brenna Elizabeth, turbine and asterion, or as you might call them, our team headed back to the lobby where they made use of the nat pods, got some healing potions, and for some reason, keyline pods. Upon realizing that Galfast the horse wasn't in the lobby, the remaining contestants

followed Barnabas. Barnabas is a trap. Can you help me out? Barnabas is a- Barnabas? Barnabas or Barnaboy? Barnabas is it one Barnabas? Barnabas. It's one Barnabuses Plural Form. Oh. Bonabye. Bonabies. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Wait, one Barnabuses Plural Form? That's a contradiction. I mean, I have one Barnabuses possessive form. Barnabuses. Barnabuses.

Ha ha ha ha ha. Barnabuses. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Bonabuses. Barnabuses, yeah. Upon realizing Galvest the horse wasn't in the lobby, the remaining contestants followed Barnabas' lead to the elevator, with promises of finding Galvest in the small forest to top the obelisk.

On the way up, though, they had their final challenge. Protect a copper egg from roa snakes all while avoiding the temptation of glittering, mesmerizing walls all around the battlefield. Our team definitely handled wave after wave of snake, turbine skewering several, Brenda Lisbeth slowing them down and heating them up, Astrid standing completely still for the entire fight, you know, just teamwork. As the robo snakes almost escaped with the egg, Brenda Lisbeth was able to perform a Hail Mary Misty step to turbine who used a clutch levitate spell

thanks to his little magnet boots and ended the battle floating safely above. His little magnet boots. My little magnet boots. Little magnet boots. After successfully winning, Bink Bunk and Raider were tubeed out of the competition, leaving our team, and Barnabas securely at the top. But, Turbine noticed Galfas was nowhere to be seen. The crew grilled Barnabas culminating with Astrid grabbing him by the neck and surprisingly ripping him from his entire mechanical body.

Revealing that Barnabas was actually trattix the gnome from the portrait in the lobby. Gasp. Before they... Sorry, what? Gasp. Gasp. Gasp. Gasp.

Classic good. Gasp. Gasp. Gasp. Gasp! Classic gasp! Gasp! Gasp! Before they could hash it out, a cold evil sent the voice emanated from the obelisk itself, revealing some much more sinister plans were happening in the shadows. The team's world literally came crashing down after the floor of the elevator below their

feet dropped out from under them, and that's where we are today. So two things before we get into the following part of this episode. The only one to pass to Dexchec was Brenda Elizabeth with a 17 and then the other factor is that Turbine is still floating with the little magnet. So yeah, what does this translate to to what we're seeing? Brenda Elizabeth is not falling. I have fallen, but I'm still floating and Astrid is falling. Is that what's happened?

So Brenda Elizabeth, this is how this will work out mechanically. The floor of the elevator falls out from under you. Traddicts makes eye contact with you, full of surprise, scared, and begins to fall. Brenda Elizabeth, by passing your Dex check, you are able to stabilize yourself enough to have one turn before everyone starts falling. Okay. And is that right now? That turn is right now.

The turn has begun. Oh, Elizabeth! Okay. It's always so funny to me to imagine, like, real-time passing in the D&D world when it. Okay. It's always so funny to me to imagine, like real time passing in the D&D world, what it passes here, and it's like, and everyone's falling and going, it's like, ooh, look at my spell.

I'm like, I'm gonna say it. No, no, no, we're falling. It's okay. Just like, right with you. I think that, so I've stabilized myself, am I like stable and on like a wall or something? The elevator comes up like just a floor. It doesn't have any surrounding walls.

There were these like glimmering arena walls that I think retracted. So there's not any walls. It's just like a surface that's about to fall down this time. I have a turn, but I'm gonna be falling. Yes. Because I essentially was like, oh, maybe I'll thorn whip to try to get astered to safety, but it sounds like I'm not be falling. Yes. Because I essentially was like, oh, maybe I'll Thornwip to try to get Astrid to safety,

but it sounds like I'm not even in safety. And also, this platform is really large if we remember from last episode, it was like a 60 foot arena for your side and then Binkbock and Raider had their own side. So it's 120 feet wide. 120 feet wide. So casting in tangle underneath it won't do anything

so it's really big. Castorn whip won't save asterid so I think I will just have to I think that I have nothing to do here that is helpful so I think I am going to since Brett Elizabeth has run through all of these possibilities. She cannot save Astrid by using Thordwhip. She cannot prevent the fall from casting a tagel. So she is going to just use a bonus action to create Heel-Experient, which is basically just any if anyone touches it, they could get a D6, so I'm hoping if someone were to get knocked out and next to it, maybe they

could get brought back to life. Does it move around? It till the spell ends, whatever your creature you can see moves into the spirits space for the first time or starts a turn there, you can cause the spirit to restore 1d6 hit points to that creature. No actually required. The spirit can't heal constructs are undead. So can you cast that at the base of the elevator shaft? So we just fall into it. Well since we're on this platform and it sounds like this platform is big, I'm going to do it right in between all three of us. Or all four of us even all include this

gnome so that if anyone gets knocked out by the fall on their turn they can get a D6 of hit points and have a turn. So that's a bonus action that I will also ask my action. I will take on a starry form so I think I'm going to take on my... everyone's good for hit points right now right? Yeah. Yeah. Then, uh, fuck it. I guess I'm just going to take on my archer form just in case. Okay. So you take on your archer form? No, that's not good. If I want to keep this healing spirit up by the concentration, so I take out my dragon form. Okay. And that is what I fucking do. Brenda Elizabeth Don's her childlike dragon costume and the split second before this platform gives out. We wore fall like zip. As the platform gives out from everyone, everyone please roll initiative. And everyone should know that now a sparkly horse has appeared,

but it's a good horse. So you could take heels from it if you get hurt. Great. I got a 13 initiative. 18, 11. A roll for traddicks, 16. So turbine, you are still floating with your levitation boots.

Levitation isn't like fly though. Okay. So you can't really control yourself and you don't have a flight speed of 60 or whatever. So you watch as everyone else begins to fall. Okay. So, so just so I can, so just like I can understand this clearly, I'm basically floating and the ground falls out beneath us. I remain floating like Wily Coyote for a moment. And then I see everyone else falling down beneath me. Is that, is that about right? That is true. And just to make sure

that I'm painting as clear of a picture as possible, this obelisk is taller than the mountain itself. Okay, this is very, very tall. You couldn't cast a spell where the lobby was. You couldn't see it from here, and it's also so, so, so far down. But, uh, yes, you begin to see everyone fall as you're floating. Okay. This is immediately on board. I believe we established in a previous session that only wearing one of these boots gives you feather fall instead of levitating. So could I take off one of these boots and like chuck it at Astrid so that she can have so we can both feather fall a little bit.

Yes, I think, I mean, the rules were vague on this. Yes. I feel like you may be used the levitation spell and that sort of used it up, but I'll allow you to make a DC 20 tinker or check. Okay, you have tinker or tools? I have tinker or tools, and in fact, I'm like an artificer, so I have... You have the artificer feet, right? That's what you mean, man. I have artificer feet and in fact I'm like an artificer so I have you have the artificer feet, right?

That's what you mean. I have artificial feet and I also like I basically built my character around like being able to tinker with shit To add twice your proficiency bonus to history checks related to magical items all chemical objects or technological devices And I'm also proficient with tinker's tools. I think I'm gonna say that we just need to make these choices faster just because you're falling in real time. I initially thought that just having only one boot would not be enough to lift me, so it would just be enough to kind of let me drift down. If that's not the case and I need to adjust them,

then I'll do whatever roles I need to in order to make adjustments. Yeah, so make that Tinkerers check to see if you can make that system work. Okay, 11 plus 5 is 16. Okay, unfortunately, you don't think that because you throw it to Astrid, that will work. But you're levitating above, it feels like you're not really going to be able to help people.

It doesn't feel like you're going to be able to keep up with everyone as they start to fall. They're starting to fall too fast. It's up to you what you do. You still have your turn. I don't think that that was maybe like an object interaction. Okay.

So I have to choose between either falling, taking these off and falling with them or, fuck it, I'm gonna do that. I'll, I'll, I know. It's too bad. I know.

It's too bad as it extremes sports. You couldn't possibly. I'm gonna turn off the levitate and just sort of start like mission impossible style. Just like diving after everyone. Terben, you fall after everyone. So you start falling. Is there anything else you want to do with this turn? I mean, is there anything else I can do? You have Bartikensperation, you could do that, you could give someone Bartikensperation. Sure.

To let you know, the mechanic of this fight has not quite begun yet. Okay. Are people on the platform, the platform is falling or are people falling through the air? People are falling through the air, the platform is falling in front of them. Got it. I think Astrid still has a Bart platform is falling in front of them. Got it. I think Astrid still has a part of inspiration left over from last fight. You could also hold your turn if you want to do that.

Oh, sure. Yeah, maybe just so I can get a better sense of what the hell's going on. OK, after you, Traddix goes, he holds up a little clockwork, amulet. It's a little copper thing with a little cog that's moving around with a little like clockwork amulet. It's a little like copper thing with like a little cog that's like moving around with like little tiny or cogs moving out around within that. And he goes, ah, Moldronch to me. And as he says that those little creature things that you caught at the beginning of this whole arc start flying

around like they don't really know what's going on but they are flying and flooding the tunnel trying to help you guys they're very small but they are in the tunnel itself and then Tredek says just trying to grab on to one and he reaches out and he tries to grab one just for him he misses it like this they can help you I they'll help you slow down and as he says that he misses one so as he misses that, he misses one. So as he misses it, that's the end of Tratic's turn. Turbine, you now see a bunch of Modrons filling the tunnel.

Okay. To be clear, as this encounter goes on, if you don't do anything to slow your fall, you'll take full fall damage at like 20 D6. If you grab one of these Modrons, you'll take 10 D6 of damage. If you grab two, you'll take 5 D6 and three will get rid of all the damage. Okay, so the platform is completely gonna be gone. Yes, the platform's gonna be gone. All right, everyone ignore the healing spirit.

It's hard to plummet. I'll say the healing spirit is just falling at speed with this. I'll take the healing spirit is just falling at speed with Healing spirit grab onto a bowdrin So it's all falling all of these little little guys are coming out to try to help you. They're really small So they're only so helpful you guys are gonna fall for five rounds just to be clear, okay? So now next up, trap, you can take your turn or you can wait. Can I do some kind of check to see if I know whether or not

Modrons can be charmed? Yeah, I think they can be charmed. Okay, cool. I would like to, I would like to just, I'm just like copying trattics and I'd like, oh yeah, Modrons to me. But I'm not sure I reallyattix and like oh yeah, Modoron's to me I really did it work out well for him I'm gonna cast suggestion and I'm going to but I suggested is Modoron's to me

I'm going to try to do to get at least a Modoron. I'll let you as Dio tell me like how many it says I can magically influence a creature I can see so I assume that that's only one yeah, I think it's just just one but What do you cast? I mean what kind of saved do they make they and they do want to help you? But I will say that since everything is falling there like even though they're on your side If you want to grab one it's like an imposed dexterity so you have to represent the falling and strength and opposed, you know, like a wisdom. Oh, okay, I thought this was gonna be like, I really have to fucking convince these fuckers to help us. Okay, then maybe I'll just grab one, I'll just try to grab one then. Okay, cool. I mean, you can still use that spell, I didn't mean to-

I'll put it in my pocket, maybe I'll need it later. Okay. I'll put it in my pocket. Maybe I'll need it later. Okay Cool, so roll and imposed either dexterity or strength. Okay, let's go with dexterity. That's better That's a net 20 So you you lock eyes with this mojran it not that you still dive in through the air Stupid head just makes out and just throws an arm out like your tandem skydivers and latches on to you. You slow down a little bit. Anything else with your turn?

I might as well give Brett Elizabeth Barrett inspiration. She doesn't have one yet. She's close enough. Wow. How do you inspire me, Turbide? Actually, what you just did was inspire. I just took the dog's dog's dog's dog, and I don't know the air, grabbed a mojron midair. And then what the hell?

I'll pull out a concertina, and pull a duo, like I'm just a fucking bitch, and the concertina's. Oh, it's me. I see all this, I see. Wow, maybe horses are the oldy cool creature of this earth. Brinnellizbeth, you almost hear the music under the crashing sound of this elevator ripping through the entire office.

It's still incredibly inspiring. There's like just all that just places the music. I just like my brain assumes the music. It's full on like action sequence music. Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh You're a new warrior in Mad Max, so just like bungee cords off these bow drones, bouncing around. Next up is Astrid. Yes. You've started falling. Make a perception check for me.

Sure. Well, that's a net one. Okay, I don't notice anything. You don't notice shit. Okay. But you can still attempt to do the grab a bow drone, if you like. I will do that. And you can use and if you like. I will do that.

And you can use Strength if you want. Yes, I would love to. Does this count as an attack? It's a grapple. Just because I was like, I'll go into a rage if it counts as an attack, but if not, I won't. Okay, so this, it counts as a special melee attack to make a grapple, so I'll just say it counts for this. In which case I have two attacks, that's exciting. attack to make a grapple so I'll just say it counts for this. In which case I have two attacks that's exciting.

So I will go into a rage and then, sorry, what am I rolling? Just a pose strength? Yes. Great. Or you can do athletics, sorry. Oh great. So the first one I got a dirty 20. Okay, you just beat it.

Yes. Roll to 18. And then for my second attack I got a dirty 20. Okay, he just beat it. Yes. Rolled to 18. And then for my second attack, I got a 22. Wow, they were rolling really well but you beat them both times. So you have grabbed two of them. Okay, so you're holding two monodrons. You're still keeping up with people

but you know that like your impact would not be so devastating if you hit. Great. And they're happy to be grabbed even though they're... It's a pretty forceful. 2020, you know, it's quarantine. Everyone's a happy to be grabbed, because they do the thing, you know. And then last up is Brindale Lisbon. Okay, I'm just going to try and go after one of these little guys.

If it's athletics, I have a plus two to it That's a 14 plus two 16. I'm trying to decide if I'm gonna use that bardic inspiration I might as well it'd be good to get this it rolled it to oh Yeah, I'll just I'll just give that to you. I see you have grabbed one. Okay, I've grabbed one and does that count us by action? That is your action. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I'm just gonna leave it at that because I got my concentration going and Yeah, it seems like what I could do tight. So everyone has grabbed at least one mojran Astrid has grabbed two at the end of your turn You notice as the elevator floor is tearing through this tunnel. These like, breaks are trying to kick in, but it's smashing through the breaks themselves.

It's becoming even more unstable and like kind of swirling around. It's fucking up the tunnel itself. You notice like, oil and other pneumatic like kind of tubes and stuff that were attached to it are breaking off and just like spraying oil everywhere. There's weird little blue explosions that you kind of don't understand what they are. No, the obelisk! This is terrible. The gals has missing. The obelisk is probably...

My shut has oil on it! No, no, no it stop, make it stop, make it stop So it's it's go everything's looking pretty bad But actually it's in to the top of the turn. I'll let everyone make a perception chair. Okay great Oh, yeah, that's a little better 16. I got a 10. I got a 18 astered and brain of this with you notice that one of these monodruns is hit by a like a blueish explosion. And it's not like actual fire. It's sort of like this type of electricity thing. You notice that it just immediately falls dead and just starts dropping.

Oh god. It's sort of like an EMP. So anything robotic that it touches deactivates completely. Now, Turbine, it's your turn, roll a D6. Ooh, interesting. That's a two. Okay, you're safe, nothing happened. Great.

Uh, now you see more mojans flying around. Tratics is also falling freely, what do you do? I am going to, I don't know how much we care about tratics. I'm gonna try to grab another mojran Wow dark, but he was gonna be our boss Roll a post-dex jet cool. Oh, no, that's a seven. Okay, so you reach out for one you miss it though And this one wanted to be like it feels like when you try to like nail a handshake Uh-huh, and you, and you, yes, like hate each other in the hand, slip off, it pats you on the back as you fly off

Anything else for this turn? I'll give Treadex my last bardic inspiration Okay, cool Now it is Treadex turns So, so I'll pass off that high, as if it was cool, like we meant to do that like go over there And it's like oh whoops like we're just doing a fun move here in the air I'm like play a little tune still still try to be very cool. You are thriving it free fall Then traddix looks up to you give him bar to conspiracy and he sees that cool handshake It's like he's inspired now. It's traddix turn traddix is also gonna roll a d6

cool handshake, he's like, he's inspired. Now what's Traddix's turn? Traddix is also gonna roll a D6. Okay, two, he's fine, and he's gonna roll. Okay, he misses another grab, and it's too low to even waste a bar to conspiracy on. Next up is Astrid. Roll a D6 for me, I think it's start of your turn. Six.

Is that bad? You go through an EMP blast. No! Both monodrones you're holding. Fall dead. I know. And people to help you float anymore. You're just floating again, starting at zero.

But you still have your action. Do we know where these blasts are coming from? They're just sort of around. The elevator floor is scraping against the sides of the tunnel. And it's like breaking things that are causing this EMP to go off. I guess I'll try it for two more. Mm, that's a 12. Okay, it's an opposed strength check.

It beat you, unfortunately, it was too strong in the end. Yeah, okay. And then my second one is, I'm gonna use that body. It's a D6, right? It's a D8 now. Oh, D8. You guys all level, and I should say.

Great. Okay, that's a 19 you grab one monodron successfully Great, so long you're just self-down a little bit again Brinnell is with your turn Okay, so I roll a Z6 to see if this bottom this thing does something to be I rolled it to okay, you're good. Okay, you're holding currently holding one monodron You're swirling around trying to catch more. What do you do? Does it look like this thing that takes the electronics away? Does it look like it's going to affect

turbidodastrid next round as well? It just depends. As you look down the tunnel, the elevator floor is continuing to fuck everything up. So it looks like it could be an ongoing issue. Okay, so that can I guide a bolt this thing that undoes the electronic stuff? I think that they're they're just kind of spread out through this this elevator shaft

Okay, if you guiding bolted one all the rest of them would still be a problem Okay, that I will just try to grab another one of these modder droves Re plus two is a five. I almost feel like I shouldn't use my bardic inspiration yet Yeah, that's you can use either either strength or decks for grapple checks, I think. Okay, then in that case, I'll use decks. I'll use acrobatics, so it's plus four, so it's a seven. Okay, let's see what this monodrone gets. Ooh, rolled really low.

It only rolled a four. Yes. So you grab one. You got two. I wear them on my shoulders like a shoulder pads like at 80's business awards. Yeah. Damn, that's cool. Almost looks like she's standing still,

except she's on a drone, some other shoulder. She looks like Sam is from Meetup. Meetup. And that's the end of the second round. On the third round, we're back at the top of the order turbine. It's your turn. How many monodrones do you have at this point? I have one. Okay. Oh, and roll a D6. Oh, yes. Yes. Let's see if something happens to me. I got a three. Okay, so as this elevator floor is ripping through this tunnel, it's like spinning off its axis. It hits some pipes, breaking them, shooting oil out. It covers the monodrome you're currently holding, make a dexterity saving throw to see if you hang onto it. From my slippery oily droid.

And I'll say, but because of wearing those magnet boots. Yes, you have advantage on decks. Oh, right. Well, I'll use that toy because that one wasn't very good. I rolled a six first time and then my second one That is a 17 plus three for 20 Still cool I try to pass an office real cool still somehow. That's like very goofy. Why is Turban always trying to get somehow getting cooler and cooler as every fight goes off? Now it's your just your turn.

You can grab another one. Yeah, and that seems like the thing to do. So I'll just try to grab another one. That's another opposed decks. Check, is that right? Yes. And should I have been rolling that last one with advantage two because of the mag boots?

I forgot about that ability. No, it's first. That's insane. First phase. Okay, that ability. No, it's first. That's insane. First phase. Okay, cool. Alright, let's try. I'm going to try to grab another little flying thing.

How we doing here? That's a 13? It rolled a 13. Oh! Does that mean you roll off? I don't know. It's a 10. Actually, it rolled a 14.

It has a plus one. Oh, come on. Oh, sorry. Alright. Absolutely brutal. Wow. To have a comeback from this. Oh, okay. All right. Absolutely brutal. Wow. I'd love to come back from this. Oh, okay. It was so cool, too.

So cool by oily mojro. It's okay. You still hugged a while. That's impressive. Yeah. Next step is traddix. He's going to try to grab one as well. He rolls 14.

This, this monitor on. They're trying to help, but just representing the fall is there opposition to this and a roll to nat 20 and it just nails him in the face and keeps going. So does not seem like your employees respect you. Ow! To me, doesn't mean to my face. After that is Astrid. Great. I rolled a three, give me that oil.

Okay, yeah. You get hit by some oil as well. Great. I also rolled with advantage on decks because I can see this happening and I got a 14 on my decks. Okay, they rolled a five, so you grab another one successfully. Great. Wait, no, that was my oil decks. Oh, never mind, sorry. So yes, you passed the saving throw. Yes, I do.

And even call it a dance, then tabite. Don't look at what tabite was doing. It was possible. It was popping in my own thing. Wow, you can just tell how much buddy our dance lessons I'm just sitting there and watching how cool Asher's dances. Just go good everything. You really good a sense for how tall this building is. But the fact that you've gotten into a dance fight. Yeah, make your checks. Right now, Elizabeth, just for the record, does it dance without a pony?

Yes, right now, Elizabeth's just sitting on the potty as the potty is dancing. Okay, that first one is a 10. Okay. Oh, it rolled a 3. So you grabbed another one. Great, and then can I use this next roll to grab trattix? Because he's tiny, right? Like, I have two of these guys.

I can just try and grab trattics. Oh, and not 20. Ooh. Holy shit. So you're able to grab trattics. You somehow reach through the air, guided by these monodrones, and are able to snatch up this little guy. I'm not letting you die until I can kill you.

That please don't kill me as well. He's got a big monodrome imprint on his forehead. I'll say that since you grab him, how many do you have at this point? 3. I have 2. You have 2. Okay, so that was another grab. So that's the end of your turn, I believe?

Yes. Okay. So you've slowed down significantly. I think you would have to grab 4 now to not take any damage if you're holding Tractors. That's fine. I mean, I take off damage if you're holding Tractors. That's fine. I mean, I take off damage anyway. And he didn't have any at this point. Yes, yeah, it was really sad.

It would have been really weird if he just- Just died. He died and healed. As we could have done something, yeah. Bring Elizabeth, it's your turn. I rolled a wood. You're good. Wait, oh, okay, yeah.

Nothing to report. No pipes or EMPs. Oh, thank God. Okay, then I'm just gonna reach out for I would have reached out for another one of these 10 close to four 14 it rolled a 18 Maybe I'll use my bardic inspiration. Oh 14. I would have to go. It's a D8 the D. I Feel like let's do it. Let the D8. The D8. I feel like, let's do it. Let's do it. I roll a Nate. Yes.

Hey. Hey. Brenna Lisbeth snatches another monodrone out of the air. Can I maybe toss it to Astrid since I caught it, since she's with Traddicts? Yes. Let's see what makes sense for that, because I think, I don't know,

it's guaranteed that she would grab it. Okay, then I'll, I'll, probably I should stay alive to heal people when they get hurt So cool, so you have three so you're a guarant you at this point are safe So now the 80s shoulder pads have migrated to being a little crown around my head Brinnellys with fully still from CEO to monarch Your hair your your're razor thin hair, whistling around there. This is so dangerous.

If my hair got caught in some of these gears, I could get my first haircut of my life and I'm really not looking for that. That ends the third round. At the start of the fourth round, the elevator platform picks up speed. It's going really, really fast now. It's like kind of warbling.

It feels like a fucking Transformers movie. It's like a big like thing with sparks flying off of it as it gets faster and faster. You look down in time for it to slam into the floor of the lobby and completely shatter the lobby floor. Oh, no. Bits of debris, nap pods, that like old-timey guy behind the canteen.

Not the old timey guy. Oh, my friend. It's essentially falling into a very dangerous, sharp, glass-filled ball pit. It's essentially like that, except once it shatters through, it keeps going. Oh no. It shatters through the floor.

The sub basement. False floor? Yes. I've never been in a sub basement before. Yeah. Turbine, the obelisk has a basement. No! Start writing, scribbling notes.

Okay, it's up in the turbine. The old one has a basement for a quarter later. Ever made attention to what you're seeing so I can write it down later. Yeah, you guys are seeing as, like this is happening in real time. So it's like, Nat pods are flying through the air, a painter bot like whizzes by your head, a asteroid.

Everything is flying around you in almost like slow motion. But as the floor breaks the need the elevator you continue to free fall and you continue to fall but the air pressure has changed now. And the air feels like moist and sort of stale. And you look down and you're still falling. You see the elevator platform spinning in the air like a coin and it slams down into something

really deep below you, shattering. And that's when you see that the entire ground is glowing with this red surface. Oh. That's when you see that the entire ground is glowing with this red surface. You can't help but remember that sinister voice you heard moments ago hissing about plans that were too far along for you to stop. And that's what happens at the top of the fourth round, turbine is your turn.

All right, I mean, I don't think I have any other choice. It's just like wiping the sit off my goggles. And I point at one of those stupid fucking motor on motor ride. It's like I'm coming for you. Hey, I reach out for it. Okay, you have broken through the tunnel. There are no more wraps at this point.

So yeah, just make a roll. Okay. That's a six. But do you have anything to add anything to that? I already added the thing so that. Okay, we'll see what this, how many do you have at this point? One. What?

Okay. Oh no. It rolled a four. Hell yes. You do a really firm handshake with wide. It's very uncharismatic. It doesn't look very cool No, it looks pretty cool. I'll put this point Next up is Tratics. He's on the shoulders of Astrid. He's gonna try to make a grab while holding on to you

He rolls a 17 They both brought let me see what he adds. He's got a bardic inspiration too. Yeah. Oh, then he's going to use that. And that with that hill automatically passed because they had the same roll. So now you guys have four asteroids. Great. You are, I think, at this point safe. Brenda Lisbeth, it is your turn.

Okay, I will. I got a 14 to try to grab one. And I don't think there's any way for me to modify that. We're all the 18, okay. Okay. So, how many do you have at this? I have three. Okay, so you won't take any damage. Astrid only needs four because she had traddics.

Okay. Astrid, okay, so that's the end of the round. Wait, traddic, I had two and traddics just got one, so I've got three, so I should roll to make sure that I get that last one. Apologies, yeah, yeah. Great. Let's go back to Astrid. Great. That's an at-20. Woo! I'm so good. I'm rollin' well today. Thank God.

This is the first time I've asked for that. Astrid, you look like a balloon salesman. That's the point. Floating like Mary Poppins. Yes. Dancing. Just floating like Mary Poppins. Yes. Dancing. Great. So you have as many as you need. You have one more turn though if you want to try to throw onto Turbine.

Yes, I will do that. Absolutely. That is a 12. Okay. Let's see if you get it. Roll to 10. So you grab one and you hook it at a turbine. Great.

Turbine, I think you're just trying to hit its armor class with an attack. I think that makes sense for this. An attack. Would I use my weapon or... You know what? Maybe let's not change it up for the very end. I think it's just another grapple check, so. But since you're throwing it at you, it's with this advantage.

Okay. Cool. Still cool to use decks. Yes, cool. Disadvantage. So first roll, that's a 10. Second roll is an 18, so that'll be 10 plus 3 is 13. Okay. Roll to 5.

Yes. You got one final one. And since there are no more traps, now that there's no more ENPs or oil falling on you because you've broken through the tunnel, you guys safely float down to the bottom, landing on this sort of endless surface of just tubes. I lock eyes with Astrid and do like a little pirouette as I land, you know, just like finishing off.

I do a double pirouette. I do two of them. And I just, I spin again. I spin at third time. I do a double pirouette. I do two of them and I just I spin again. I spin at third time. I do a back flip I try to do a back flip, but I land on my head and it kind of makes a bad cracking sound Yes, once our team once again our team missing the point entirely What's going on? I start banging the floor. Yes, I also It's really soft. So you're in what should be a dark cave entrance

to the mines of the Bonber Mountains. And you know that going deeper and deeper into the mines is Burmure, the lost dwarven city that, you know, Astrid, your family would be from. You've only ever heard about this because the obelisk came and sealed all of this away, you know, 50 years ago. So it's been a really long time. It's very eerie to be down here. You know that it should be dark, but this red light is kind of giving you this underlight as you look around this big open cave

entrance. You see these tubes of all different kinds. There's like red glowing tubes. There's a few purple ones. There's some that look like pneumatic tubes. There's, it's just keeps going further and further into every crevice of this mine. We can all see this, but I am just listing all these, I'm listing all the tubes to everyone. Like a 12 year old super excited about Pokemon is just like going on and on about it,

like giving you way too much information. It's like that with tubes for me. That's a Bluetooth, but that's a red tube. That looks like a pneumatic tube. Oh, look at these tubes over here. They don't make tubes like this anymore. Can I just put my hand over to a bind smell? We'll turn around our any of them male tubes. Already the male tubes? Roll a insight check? Uh, that is 16th?

Okay, no. Can I do a perception check on them using my Smith knowledge? I have Smith tools. Does that give you a proficiency to anything? I think it adds proficiency to insight. Oh, right, right. Yeah, so use your proficiency and... Great.

We're all to see if that makes any sense. I got a lower thing on insight. This time, I got a... 10. Okay. You don't really know... Like it's kind of... You know that it's a similar technology to like the more advanced stuff you saw in the obelisk. A lot of the tubes are made of...

Nettle. But it's like kind of like this like weird grown metal. Like it doesn't feel like man made if that makes sense. This would look incredible in the hotel. A lot of the tubes are made of metal, but it's like kind of like this weird grown metal, like it doesn't feel like man-made, if that makes sense. This would look incredible in the hotel. They feel like veins. Yeah. Ooh.

Can we, is it clear which way the liquid inside them is flowing? A lot of them are flowing in different directions, but everybody make a perception check. Whoa. 19, Ted. Uh, I got an 18. You hear muffled screams and you look around and you notice.

It sounds quieter than it should be and you see what looks like. Guys, I've got good news and bad news. The bad news is there's screams, The good news is there muffle. You see a body going through a tube screaming and it is a familiar looking form. Oh no. As it goes in and out of these like endlessly tangled network of tubes, you see a pop up and then go back under and then kind of pop up again. Like a dolphin. Is that Brenda Elizabeth's boyfriend? It looks a lot like him. Oh, what? I guiding bolt the tube to try to break it. Okay, you can try to guiding bolt it. It

may not break. Make an inside check first. Okay, but inside is 15. Okay, it just feels like too thick to actually break the side of it. Okay. You feel like even if you could cut into it right here, it would take too long and you would lose the person in there. Okay, well maybe we should follow it. Mm-hmm. Okay.

I horse gallop towards where it's going. Yeah. Traddicts is like, I didn't, I just wanna be clear that I had no idea that all of this is down there. Yeah, Iaddoc's is like, I didn't, I just want to be clear that I had no idea that all of this is a sound. Yeah, I've got a bread-o-lisp with his gonna turn around in this space where the soil clearly has never been touched by hooves. She feels, she feels anger as she grabs and by the throat, she says, what are you doing with my boyfriend? I mean, not by boyfriend. Yeah, what are you doing with a boyfriend?

Yeah, what are you doing with her boyfriend? I, I, I, I am not, I want to be as clear as possible. I'm not doing anything at all. I had no idea that this was down here. And I, if I'm being completely honest, I think I've been made of full. So you were just throwing children down tubes and just not asking where they were going? Yeah, that's two craft 101. You gotta know where those tubes lead.

You can't just throw things in tubes. I haven't even taken to craft Row 1 and I know that. Yeah, look, what you're talking about is one of the first tenets of two craft, but I gotta admit that I got a little lazy with it. And I did tell them to, I don't know what's going on, but I think him bubbles is not who I thought he was and I and I think that um I don't know I feel like I so you're blaming the robot. I was new that there was blaming the robot typical Well, he's got a brain in there. I don't know that I should give you my whole backstory

It's a easy moment. But I'll just say that yes I was pretending to be a Barnabas because this place had a long list of Barnabas that led this place. And I don't really... he holds up his little amulet, and you can tell that he's pretty fucking sad. Okay, well, Brenda Elizabeth ponders this, but only for a brief second because time is of the essence and she knows it's time to become that what she doodles and she shakes out her stringy maid

and pursues where she saw her boyfriend, but not boyfriend in the tube. These tubes are going to all different caverns, but you think you can pinpoint it down to this one pathway where it seemed like that body was going down. Do you guys want to sneak or are you just running at full speed? What I'd like to do, this is a bong that we're following. Bink? Bunk? You can't tell.

We can't tell. It's a blur in a tube. A twin to two. Then why did the other twin go? What if we're going after big? That'd be so embarrassing. I don't know. I'm just interested, big.

Everybody hates Bink. I'd like to cast Locate Object on B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B- on... B-Brog, Frank? On, uh... Uh... Uh... Or, or if I'm not allowed to cast it on a person on, on the money that I gave them, uh, to get into the festival in the first place. Oh, thank God. And, and to, to locate the object of, of, of my coins that I gave them and use that to, to track where they're going, and then we could be a little more stealthy, but still

know where they're going. I'm sorry to do this. Yeah. But if I remember correctly, you just paid for them. So you never gave them. Pay to give them wristbands though, to get in, presumably. Ooh, yes.

Ooh, yes. I think just because I've listened back to it several times. Yes, yes, sure, sure. It seemed like the language of it was that you went to the time I gave it to them. I didn't give top like the way to the side gave it to them. I didn't give it to them. I gave them. But maybe we can just do it on their shirt

because you interact with them. Yeah, yeah, sure. It was just felt more fun and circular. Yeah, I know. Just to find my cool stuff. You don't want to get called on it. Sure, sure, that's fine. Well, in any case, I'd like to cast Locate object

on something that who we, who we will follow, Binkerbock. Bock. Bock. And that's what aspirin said anyways Bawk has like a little bit of a clip on his has a little rat tail with a clip on it Great. I'll locate object on His greasy little rat tail clip and it's kind of a euphemism for what I've done with it And- That's kind of a euphemism for what I've done with it. Yeah.

Hahaha. Now I can, what was it? If the object is in motion, you know the direction of its movement. You can sense the direction of the object's location, as long as that object is within 1,000 feet of us. And yes. OK, so you feel it going in that direction.

OK, since I have no kind of where it's going, I'm going to kind of be a little cautious when I'm entering going in that direction. Okay, since I have no kind of where it's going, I'm gonna kind of like be a little cautious when I'm entering going down these tunnels. Since I don't need to worry about keeping up with it. Reddola's booth is probably not thinking clearly, but if someone were to say, hey, we should stealth, I could pass pass without Trace out of us.

Cool. I mean, I think that's the harm in doing that. Okay, then since I'm still a by dragon form, I will have advantage on my concentration checks. So that's nice. Cool. Oh yeah. It's just just saw as you're like tip to wing as a horse.

That's my- I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, still wearing my crown of monodrones. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like. Tranx looks at her body. You're just so cool. I feel like I wish I was like you and I was your age. I wish I was like, well, I mean, I learned a lot about you recently.

Astrid, are you okay? What? Astrid, thank you for saving me. You're welcome. If we get out of this, I'll give you a bunch of money, I think. As a minimum, as a minimum, you'll give me a bunch of money. Right.

Yeah, that makes sense. 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. To get yours and a free Yeti-style tumbler, go to birddogs.com slash pop-off or enter promo code pop-off at checkout. That's birddogs.com slash pop-off or promo code pop-off for a free Yeti-style tumbler.

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. You guys continue to sneak down these tubes and a classic sneak Gallop Brinnell is with sneak galloping Astrid and turbine sort of dancing

the sneak-galloping, Astrid, and Turbine sort of dancing. So you follow the screens as they get louder and louder into what looks like an open cave door that's a more hollowed out area that looks like it could be a laboratory. There's tons of like spare warforged parts and piles of robotic arms and legs and and some heads and just generally broken down machine parts in the corner. You see the exit of the tube that Bink was in, fortunately wasn't bothered. Fall out into like, it almost looks like a slide in a play place. Just slip out into like this larger vat of goop.

And within that larger vat, you see several humanoid forms, like kind of like against a glass trying to like free themselves, but like they can't, they don't have any purchase on this like glass wall. They're just kind of slipping around. And you see one huge form in there, but you kind of can't really tell what it is. And again, this glass, like when we see this,

we kind of assume that this glass is too difficult for us to break, there's no point in trying to break it and break them free. Yeah, it seems like pretty impenetrable. Okay. You also see nearby, like to the right of this glass tank, a few bodies tied down to slabs, unconscious or unmoving. You can't really tell what's going on.

You also see a form standing over a table working on something and you can't see them, but they have like a cloak on and they're being assisted by this like warforged robot. They wear like a purple hooded robe. And first glance, it almost looks human, but as you listen on, like you can hear these like worrying noises, it also seems to be a war for a robot but wearing a cloak

So you're saying as he's working in his lab late one night our eyes are Beholding an eerie site. No, don't say it. Is this is this is some kind of monster mash situation? It's a monster match. Please. You say it's a graveyard smash? I'm saying that's exactly what it is. It's going to catch on in a flash if we don't do something. No. But without, I mean, trying not to get DMCA'd. But without knowing.

My aim in this podcast is to get zoods, zaxood's so badly. By the writer of Monster Magic. But you see this purple-hooded figure that also presumably start, it feels warforged in nature, working on something, another like assistant warforged, working with them, and then out of a pneumatic tube nearby, another figure spits out and lands like a three-point landing,

like kind of like they're pretty like dextrous, sort of a superheropos, and then stands up. It's also wearing a purple cloak, and it says to the first one, the preparations are almost complete. Status report on the upcycling. The first guy who's working on the slab says, inquiry 423-118 and 4 423119 did not sustain charge

sort of to failure. The rarity has occurred. inquiry 423120 maintains a full charge sort of to success and will proceed with reprogramming understood. Finish up the process and the other materials and then destroy the abomination. He points to something in the corner

and you realize he's pointing to the D domesticated, the thing that was in this, this thinks his presentation. As he points to that to tell the other one to destroy it, the first one like holds up their own hand and it has like a purple crackling energy. And he says, tests to reroute and apply the technology have failed.

I have concluded a chaotic device such as that should not be allowed and will destroy it. I will remove it after attempting to upcycle the next inquiry. You look on the table, like he steps to the side and you see on the table a groggy looking Noah the door is laying on the slab and he says he's still dumber and he says I'm almost 100% positive that this is not my house. You can make a perception check if you want to get a closer look at it. Yeah, love a perception. I got onto the two crew.

I got a 13. I also got a 13, but I do appear a wet when I roll. I can also, I have invisibility as a racial trait I can cast for today. So maybe I'll cast invisibility on myself and like sneak down there to see what else I can see. Cool. Okay, Astrid, you've turned invisible at this point. You guys can make a perception check right now, if you'd like.

Yeah. If you're trying to find anything in particular at the room. I'm trying to look for a way to get into where that glass room with all the people locked in. They're in like a group, right? Yeah, they're in like a group. Yeah, it's like basically sealed with the tunnel. Oh, okay. So you can't actually get inside that area.

It's fully sealed everywhere. It's fully sealed everywhere. Can I look to see if there's any... If I know my group containers, like I think I do, there's usually some kind of lever you can pull that will spill out all the goop with the contents within. Can I look to see if there's any sort of goop lever? There's some kind of mechanism on the front of the container, but it's pretty,

it's like a few feet away from the Warforge guy's working on stuff. This guy's also about to cut into Noah. Okay. That's why. Any other checks you want to make before going in? Every room we've been in here so far has been had like bits of machinery, spit and oil, or spitting sparks, or things like that.

Is there anything like that perhaps situated near any of these Warforge guys? You don't see any traps in here. The room just looks sort of like this like, makeshift lab underground. Okay, in which case, I'm invisible. Can I sneak up to this warforge guy and like pull his hood down over his face so he suddenly can't see anything?

Like jump on his back and pull his hood down. Yeah, he will probably just move. Okay. Okay. Mechanically, that's nothing. Well, no, I just want to stop. I just want to essentially grapple him to stulp him from cutting into Noah. Oh, OK.

We're going to attack right now, right? I'm not misreading this situation. Are we? OK, if that's the case, then, oh, sorry, go on. Sorry, Brenda Lisbeth, make a perception check if you don't mind. That is a dirty 20. OK, you notice that the larger form in the goop pit seems to have four legs. Maybe, I don't know, has a certain familiar shape.

I stayed everyone gallfasses to the fuck a pit, I'm going in. Everyone let's get a fucking sneak attack round and fuck do this. Woo! Part in my language grip, a breadman. You feel just a little bit of guilt somewhere in your cool. All right, if you want to make a

sneak attack around, yeah, go for it. Before we do, I'm going to go into my archer form before we take the sneak attack round. And then I'll use my, I'll use my, before we take the sneak attack round and then I'll use my, I'll use my, whenever we take sneak attack round, I'll use everything that I have on that guy and then just jump right in where kill passes. That would be my personal.

Okay, he's still in the goop thing that you can't get into unfortunately. You can't get into it. Okay. Just so to be clear about what you guys see, there's the two cloaked figures and one like a sistany-looking guy. Those are the only three like bad guys that seems like there are in this room. Cool. Yeah, let's roll initiative, and then you'll take the sneak attack and then we'll go into initiative.

So everybody just roll. 15. Say 17. Ooh, that's a 22. You guys all have a sneak attack on these three guys. Whoever wants to go first can go go first you can coordinate however you like I'd like to start by casting motivational speech No, it's a spell, but I love the wording of it you address ally staff or innocent by centers to extort

They inspire them to greatness whether they have anything to get excited about or not I love the idea that you're going to whisper a motivational speech. That's what I was like. This is a stellar, it's like, so what is the logic of this? Does this make sense? OK, everybody, this is what we've all been through a lot together.

But this is really important. I agree with that. I see. Our friends are in the goop. Our friends are here. Our friends are about to get sliced into. So I say it's time. We, and I like, it's pretty up the herty-gurty.

It's like, it's starting to only do wool. I like to ride a cutty-guddy and half. Well, you get the point. Traddicts is like, yeah, I'm probably just gonna hang back, but also, come on, man. So what this does is everyone who I targeted who can hear me, who so I'll say probably Noah can't can can Noah hear me? I can target up to five other five people. So myself the two the three of us obviously tradix and then if I'm allowed Noah I'll throw

him in there too but I can see the logic for not. You can try he's like bolted to a table. He may or may not be able to do anything. Sure. For the duration of the spell, you will get five temporary hit points and you have advantage on wisdom saving throws. And if you're hit by an attack, you get advantage on your next attack roll. And whoa, that's really good. And but if you lose those five temporary hit points, the spell ends for you. Okay. So, as long as you have those five HP, you have those abilities.

Or any, probably even if you have one of them leftover. Yes, correct, yeah. If you have, if you lose those five HP, the spell ends for you. Great. Trionics is like, I'm just gonna hide unless it gets bad. Come on, man, I just inspired you to great.

Pick up traddics and throw them to what's the whole. Maybe what you need is a little song. Oh. I'm guiding both. Another instrument. Joe, I'm running out of instruments. Yeah. Cool, so that's a turbine's turn.

A surprise turn. Next up, I'd run a list with what do you do? Okay, I have going to try to actually use a guy But those were just joke uses I didn't actually yes I've now go to actually guiding bowl freaking The one who's about to slice down on Noah Cool, it's probably gonna miss Doesn't 11 hit. And 11 misses.

Damn. Okay, I'm still going to do my bonus, because I went into my archer mode before we started our sneak attack route, so I will do my bonus attack with my archer thing. That's also gonna fucking miss. All right. Damn.

That's it. Okay, so that guy's working on the table and two things whizzed by him before he kind of, Yes! Oh, right. Damn. That's it. Or at all. Okay, so that guy's working on the table and two things whizzed by him before he kind of even has a chance to react. Astrid, what do you do? You're invisible. I'm invisible. Yes.

Okay, I'm going to hit this guy that's trying to kill Noah. First one is a 10. I'm assuming that's not going to hit. You have a, are you in rage or are you using reckless attack? I'm not in rage because I'm invisible. Oh, but I guess as soon as I hit him, I'll come out of invisibility anyway, so I might as well go into a rage.

You're still surprising him if you come out of invisibility and go into a rage attack. Yes, great. So I will go, I will come out of invisibility. I'll go into a rage and I will attack him. attack. Yes, great. So I will go, I will come out of invisibility. I'll go into a rage and I will attack him. Sorry. OK, cool. Great.

Roll your tent. OK, so I got a tent on the first one. And then on the second one, I got a 18. Cool, that hits. Great. The second one hits. Nine damage to him. Nine damage.

And can I sneak up behind? Oh no, that's probably too much. I was gonna say, can I like, does Noah have like, why is there anything like, coming, like how is Noah's like, passed out on this table, right? Yeah, he seems pretty useless. If, like just looking at him, he's just like days, very confused.

A days down confused. Okay, great. So you did nine damage. Yeah. Okay, cool. just like days, very confused. A days-to-and-confused guy. Okay, great. So you did nine damage. Yeah. Okay, cool. So that's the surprise around. Now we're going into initiative. You guys all rolled really well.

Turbine, it's your turn. Because you rolled a 22. Yes, I did. Cool. Well, I might as well come and swing in. Actually, now we do the exact opposite, what I just said. As they were all fed, these guys,

can you just remind me, is there anything I can see over here that I, anything to focus more on rescuing these folks instead of fighting these folks first? Is that a thing I can do? Yeah, I mean, you can roll an insight check on that and see what feels right. Yeah, sure, let's roll that. That's a six.

Oh. Yeah, I think it's you're feeling dumb and confused. Like, oh, this is really advanced. Sure. All right. You're looking at the front of the tank and it has like a kind of like what looks like the keyhole or whatever it is, just doesn't even look like

an instrument you understand. Sure. I think I'm just gonna come out swinging and cast shatter on these fuckers. That targets every creature within a 10 foot radius spear on a point that I center. Can I center that in such a way that it doesn't hit Astrid or will that hit Astrid no matter what? I think you could do it without hitting Astrid, but you might hit Noah. I think you can get two of them without hitting. I don't think you can get all three with that. So I think you could hit two of

them like off to the side. Got it. If I'm trying to like keep Noah safe, is what you're saying. Yeah, I mean, it's up to you, but. I love that you go from whispering a motivational speech to screeching and. Okay, we're all set.

And first, I'm so loud. Oh God, my adrums. Okay. So I'll go ahead, my adrums! So I'll go ahead, then I'll target two of them. I'll target, there's like the two cloaks and then like the little Igor, as you said. Basically, yeah, there's my little more pathetic one and two more formidable with them. And they're all like Warforgedy kind of, kind of folks? Yeah, okay. I guess I'll target the weaker looking ones if I have a choice here and so I will do that. Oh and this guy and this guy in front of me also kind of has to

keep attacking me because of my ancestral guardians. Oh cool. If he hits anybody else he does it with disadvantage. Okay cool. Does that change what I just said or are you reinforcing what I just said? Yes, so you should you should go go, but I can take care of this guy, you go for the other guys. Cool. So I'm gonna do that. Those two must make a constitution saving throw as a side note, a creature made of inorganic materials

to stone crystal or metal has disadvantage on this saving. Ooh! Nice. Okay. And you will take 3D8 thunder damage on a failed save or half as much on a successful one damn Okay, let's see what they get All right, so you're gonna hit one of the beefier guys and one of the the egor you guy because she's fighting one the other one

So they rolled a six and a two so without even doing disadvantage they both fail advantage they both fail. Okay. Roll damage. That is not bad. That is 16. 16 damage. Okay. 3d8. Crank that herty-gurty so fast. Spark start flying. We're gonna do it. No! Oh, no, sorry, we were talking a little bit ask for it. We were in the back of our horsey. You said it was 16? Uh, 16, yes. Cool. I mean, you've attacked twice now. These guys are, I guess they're just not, they've been down here for so long, they're not used to anyone coming in this room. Uh, and so, uh, turbine steps up, uh, feeling kind of dumb, powering through that, just spins his herty-gurty and just this explosive concussion of energy blasts through at these two warforge guys, badly damaging one, and hurting one pretty bad that was more formidable. His cloak kind of gets ruptured more and you see more of his metallic form. This guy's cut.

Tough looking robot guy. Is he like, does he have organic like fucking muscles or is it like robotic muscles? It's robotic muscles designed to look organic. I never thought I'd needed to see a metal nipple. These are my nipples. And I tried to cover them with my cloak. They're like Christmas lights.

Yeah. Works really well. Until he slashes through my cloak. That's right. And don't you forget the name turbine spizzles ink. Turbines, Pizzles ink, turbine, spizzles ink, turbine, spizzles, just trying to remember. Brenda Lisbeth, that is your turn. Okay, I'm gonna try what's again, another gotty bowl. I'm gonna go on the super cut guy. Eaming away from his beautiful metal nipples. So two of them are pretty cut.

The two guys with cloaks are both equally cut. I'm going for the one that's cut and turbine hit. Okay, cool. And I got a 21 to hit. Roll damage, yeah that hits. Okay, so that's a guiding bolt. I didn't roll that well, but it is 9, 10, 11. So 11 radiant damage.

And then I will now roll with advantage because of the guiding bolt with my little um archer arrow. Oh, yes, okay, so I got a fucking 26 no, I'm an archer now so a 29 nice what a you rolled a 19 oh no so yeah 28 part of me 28 to hit and then that's another 8 damage so 11 and 8 Yeah, so 19 damage. Wow. Okay, so he is going to use his reaction to try to catch one of these. To catch the guiding bowl?

One of them is an arrow. Oh yeah, one of them is like my little archer arrow essentially. I think it's like technically magical because it's like, I'm a, I'm, it's like a druid thing, but okay. He turns around He tries to like catch it and gets fucking hit in the face with two arrows That are made of light. He tried to sparkles actually Stunning and then how fucked up does he look this guy has taken 35 point of damage and still looks Not on death store by any means. Not on Death Store?

Alright, I'm going to stop there. Halen Hardy. Yeah. Cut. Oh, I'm saying he's not on Death Store. Did that, was that clear? Yeah, if he was closer to Death, I might have action searched, but he's not, so I'm just sick.

Gotcha. Okay, cool. He's pretty sturdy. So he takes those two arrows and clocks where it came from and he's not so I'm just okay cool he's pretty sturdy so he takes this to arrows and clocks where it came from and he's like I've collected new data now. I know that won't happen again Learning is cool I agree actually Specifically about horses do you like horses? I love them. In fact, we're about to work on one now. That's why I'm here.

He just, he just almost, it's a robot, but he looks like he's smiling. After Bruno Lisbeth, it is the these two cloaked figures turn. Come at me, you coward. If he doesn't attack me, he attacks with this advantage and the person who's, he's attacking has resistance if he hits. Okay, cool. Well, this one's gonna turn around and just attack you because you're attacking it.

That makes sense. He's just going to make an unarmed strike, but his hand is like kind of glowing with this gray energy. The other guy has sort of this purple energy in his hand. Let's see what he's does. I quickly sketch this. Pardon me, dude.

He rolls a net one. Yes. I stamp on his feet. He hit you at all. But he makes two more unharmed strikes. Oh, God. This is a general grievous situation. What's your armor class?

17. Okay. OK. Mrs. OK, so he makes three really bad wild. So bad. I'm just like docking and weaving, like that dexterity of a tiny person just moving around his stupid questions. It feels like this guy's been like working at a desk all day and then like had to turn around

and make three attempts. Against a child. You're attacking a child. I'm a child. My elbow popped. After that, the other one is going to, I think, make an attack at Astrid as well. Because you're the only one closer. Yes. Okay, that will hit. That will hit. Mm-hmm. I like it. You're... That misses. I'm telling my father,

and that's my favorite thing to do. Oh, no. Okay. So you get hit for... You take 14 points of damage as this second month comes up to you and pops you twice. Great.

Huff to seven, right? Because I'm raging. Yes, half to seven. But you'll lose the motivational speech now. Yes, yeah. And so now you get an advantage on an attack, is that? Well, she lost the spell. So I was sitting here trying to figure out

like how that would work. I think when would you take less than five points? That's what I was thinking. It's like, you have to be hit. You'd have to take less than five points of damage. Like that seems like a rarity, but I guess it could happen. You can tell me how you,

the, I was rewritten. It seems like it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, do get like once you lose it, once you take damage that first time, any next attack would have advantage. That'd be my guess. Cool. So those two guys turn, and now Astrid, it's your turn. Great. I guess I'll keep hitting the guy that I hit,

and I am going to attack recklessly this time. OK. Oh god. Yeah, so the first one I rolled a 23 and then the second one I rolled a 19. Okay, both of those will hit roll damage. Okay, I got 10 on one and oh 16 on the other. Damn, okay, so wait, which one are you tacking by the way? The one that I had already attacked. Wait, can I do one on one and one on the other so they keep on attacking me?

Yeah, you can do that. Great, so I'll do 10 on the new one and 16 on the one I already hit. Is there anything on the floor that's like dangerous looking? I have this feet crusher where once per turn of you hit a creature within a attack that deals bludgeoning damage, you can move it five feet to an unoccupied space. There's like some cables and stuff,

but these guys feel pretty dexterous and there's not like a spike on the ground. There's no work place hazards. I guess I'll push one of them five feet back just for a lulls. Because I have the feet. Do they make any kind of say? No, they just move five feet back into an unoccupied space. OK, so a guy just flies back, like Dragon Ball Z character

can be punched in the stomach. Cool. And so now, next time, if they don't attack me, they have disadvantage. Oh, okay. They have to keep attacking me. Yikes. Okay. Next up is the little, the like more dinky guy who's like, sees all this happening and I think is gonna go after, hmm, what would we, he'd go after? Come at me, you coward.

Fight me. He saw you push, like one of his bosses away five feet and he's like, I'll come after you next. And he goes over to turbine and tries to punch turbine because, hey, no, wait. Cool, so he's gonna make two attacks on turbine two Does a 14 hit my AC is 13 cool, so he hits you twice Oh, you take 16 points yikes

All right, well, I'm gonna lose those 10 HP So that's five out there and then I'll lose 11 more damage cool. We're back at the top of the order everyone in this tank is still screaming and If people want to make perception checks they can I mean I'll make a perception check if you're offering yeah I thought that we couldn't do anything with the tank. I got I just quit but we couldn't do anything with the tank. I got it. I just crit on my personal check. Yes.

So, Brenna, Elizabeth, you can see into the tank. You know, you can't really open it easily. That would be pretty involved and it would feel like you might get attacked in the back if you were doing something like that and maybe you not succeed. But you're looking into the tank and you see a couple of forms.

You notice that you see what looks to be Binkbock and Raider. You see the other two dwarves that were with Noah, you see Noah on the table, and you see Galfest in the tank. You know that's Galfest. Killing me that I don't have, that I used my Misty Step for the day,

and that I could just Misty Step into be reunited with Galfest. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. It's killing me. What you do notice with this is that, if you're thinking of it in terms of the candidates that, or the people, the job interviewers, you don't see the two halflings or mop anywhere.

Huh. But it seems like they're just not in this room. But you do see three robotic forms on a table. Oh, okay. They look to be a similar size to certain people you met before. So when you say there's three robotic forms on a table, are those the three robotic things that we're finding right now or there's three more tables? There's three more on a table, they're not fighting.

Okay, I see. Wow. Can Brenda Elizabeth still be attracted to Bacophysio Roy-Baut? Bacophysio the Goop, right? Yeah, he's in the Goop. He's not in the Goop. Yeah. Bacophysio the Goop, who knows?

I would like to telepathically communicate, as we established that, I could telepathically communicate with Galfas and just say, Galfas, up here for you. Look out for Bacophysio if you can. You're probably already number one. Galfas has up here for you. Look out for Bunk if you can. Priority number one. Galfa says just going, particular as ever. I'm in group. Frashing about.

Hope those are not. I hope those are not. Galfa's last words. No. I hope those are not, I hope those are not. Gelfast last words. Oh no! Brinnellis with that, or sorry, Turbine, that's your turn. I guess I'll take advantage of this, the last bit of advantage I have from getting hit by that guy, I'm gonna hit him back.

The guy just hit me. So let's see, I'm gonna try to do that. I'm gonna roll, this is just a straight, sorry, it's been so long since I've done this. This is just a street. I'm sorry, it's been so long. So this is just a straight 20, right? That I'm rolling here? Yes, and then you add your rapier to that. That is. So I have advantage on that. The first one is a total of 15 and my second role is a total of 21. One of those is God I had. Okay. Yeah. Okay, yeah, you hit this like assistant bot. How much damage do you do, sir?

Let's see, that is, that is a two to five, not that much. Okay, you hit him for five. You guys look, just compared to actually fighting these two like just nerd fight, monster with their nipples out. You and this little guy are fighting. He's like, you got in the way of the plans,

I should get a cloak one day. And I have to stop you and get hit in this stomach. He doesn't move back five feet, but he kind of slides back just to make it seem more impressive. That's the end of your turn unless you want to give anybody any. I'm all out of my bardic inspirations, so I don't think I have any more actions I can take. I guess I could run away or something.

I can move, right? But there's nothing to move towards, really. Yeah, I mean, that guy would maybe get an attack opportunity. I'll just hang. Okay, cool. That's Turbine's turn, Brenda, Elizabeth, that is your turn. Okay, I am going to... I'm going to guiding bowl.

I guess I'll just feel like he's a dinky guy, but I'm gonna go for it. I'm gonna guiding bowl this guy that is fighting Turbide. That is a that one, but I'm a half-ling, so I get to hold it. Nice. Arguably lucky. That's going to be a 16 plus.

Seven is going to be a 23. Okay, that definitely hits. Okay. So, he takes 11 damage. He's badly hurt. Okay, then I will use my little archer thing. 18. On the second one. Does it hit? Yeah. Yes, that hits. Okay. Nine. Nine damage. So the first one makes this assistant bot sort of stagger. It looks up. It's trying to like maintain its focus. And then the second one

buries itself deep into its forehead. You see its lights flicker out and it just crumples to the ground dead. Yeah. One down. And then I turned my glimmering sparkling arrow onto the nippled guy. He self-consciously covers his nose with his shreds. Oh, I'm sorry, I did understand. I wasn't trying to like it.

It's not about that. It's not about that He picks up a screwdriver and just pops off his nipples As a girl who recently ripened into a woman that makes me cringe Horrible horrible for me to hear even as a war for spots Horrible, horrible for me to hear even as a war-forged boss. Turbine is just staring at those nipples like they make the best souvenir. He's like, oh, you gotta get on, I gotta get those nipples. Free the nipple. Oh, god.

After Brinnellizmith, these two bonks are gonna go. Are these two robed guys are gonna go? First one's gonna take two attacks or three attacks at Astrid. Yes. Okay. And I attack directly so they attack the advantage. Ooh, really? Yeah. Yes. Okay. And I attack directly, so they attack the advantage. Ooh, really? Yeah. Okay.

Okay. Still one miss, but we'll see if these are crits. Okay, so two hits, no crits. You're very lucky that this guy didn't crit, because that's why they're interesting. Oh no. I also do good things if I crit. It's not better not special. Not like this little

15 halved. Great so that's another 7. Second guy is going to try to attack you as well. Great. Great. I love it. Pay attention to me. I don't care what kind of attention it is as long as it's attention. 17 is your armor class. Another hit. Another hit. Okay, so you get hit three times. I'll 24 damage. Great, so 12. Oh, wait. barbarians take so much damage. Take a lickin' and keep on taking. Yeah, I have. I can't really have 39 hit points. We used the data and it felt like it would be cooler if we attacked you and crit, but we didn't crit. So experiment failed.

That's their turn. Next up is Astrid. Great, I mean, I guess I'll attack recklessly against these guys again. Either of them look like if I do two attacks against them, they'll be down. The one that initially turbine had been attacking, yeah, one of them does. Great, so I'll go after that guy. The one who still has his nipples.

Yes, the the binippled guy I hit, 23 to hit. Okay. 13 damage to him. How's he looking? Really, I hit 23 to hit. Okay. 13 damage to him. How's he looking? Really, really, really fucked up. Great, and then I'll go for him again. But still standing. Does a 16 hit?

His armor class is 16, so that does hit. Yes, okay. And that is just seven. Your second hit, domes this guy, shattering his skull. He was about to say, I will always remember Astrid's starboard, but he didn't say it. Instead, he got his head smashed. Great. I pull off his nipples and use them as earrings. How did you do that so fast? My brother. They went even pissed before. I just didn't. I can't feel anything. I'm so full

of adrenaline. So there's this last guy standing after Astrid, I can't feel anything. I'm so full of adrenaline. So there's this last guy standing after Astrid, the other guy's dead. Yes, okay, so we're going back to the top. That guy's looking at a tunnel like he might try to escape. Turbine, it's your turn. I'm going to cast suggestion on that guy. I'm gonna have to cast him and talk to him. Like it's like, you can see we're fucking your friends up.

Let all these people go or we'll kill you too. Cool, so you cast suggestion, Role. So this guy makes a wisdom save. That is correct. He rolled a 16 on the die, so plus three because he's sort of a wise fellow. I wrote Batman if you will. So that's 19, so he does sort of a wise fellow. A robot monk if you will. I see. So that's 19.

So he does not get a fake. All right, well, you know, it was worth a shot. He was like, I could make more brothers. I already have. It points to the table. Why don't you make some sisters you sexist? Honestly, you're right. I guess that's my turn.

Is there anything else in the space that looks like I could like, you know, chuck at them or pick up or throw any machine? There's like, we're a machine shop. Is there anything in here that looks like? It'd be like a two. Well, use your action so there's not really, I don't think there's gonna be a difference.

I don't gonna do anything with it. I'm just sort of curious about what's in here. Yeah, I mean, there's like stuff around. It does, I think it's like, you notice things that are interesting like the like, the D domesticated and the back corner and like, okay, you know, it doesn't feel like anything you can do in like a few seconds.

So, yeah. Rindo is myth, you're up. All right, the sparkly archer throws, I believe her final guiding bolt. Whoa. That's gonna be at 18 out of the die, so I think it's gonna hook it. Yes.

25. That hits. Yes. 16 radiant damage. Whoa, okay. And then... It's still pretty beefy. Okay, gonna go for my archer, my bonus action arrow. A one I could reroll.

Geez. Wow. 14 bucks. Yeah, that's gonna hit. So 23, that's 4 plus 4 is going to be 8, so another 8 damage. And then Brenda Lisbeth is trying to get her fucking horse back. So she is going to action surge and cast Create Bonfire on on this fucker holy shit. So it's going to be 2d8 fire damage. He has to pass a dex 15 save so he really might because he's a monk but okay he's pretty dextrist let's see you got an 18 on the die so he passes it passes, but he'll still take Boy, well the eight and a four so it'll still take six damage I believe

Okay How hot actually never mind. I don't think he takes any damage if he passes He hops over it like a cool guy Cool guy like a cool guy. Um, cool guy. Damn, he's so cool. Watch this. He, uh, he's pretty hurt, but he's, he's still like eyeing that, that portal out of here and it's his turn. He's gonna make his way for it, but as he goes astrid, you have, you have a reaction to his. Oh, yes, I do.

How exciting. Oh, I do. How exciting. Oh, I miss him so bad. I rolled a four, so an 11. Okay, so that will miss for sure. Great, and thus, can I reckless attack on an opportunity attack? Probably not. Let me double check. Okay, so I'm reading that likewise, if you make a reckless attack during your turn and then a reaction during your turn

It allows you to make another attack then it will be a reckless attack. Oh, so you have it gone since the last time you did Yeah, so it's still reckless great. So oh 13 Okay, all right that misses as well. Okay Just he. Where's you running? Where's your phone? Dives in a tube out of the combat escape.

Oh, god damn. Oh! So, you guys, exited combat, you're in this lab. You, also, you can just like, you have enough time to open the thing and let the goop canisters your fellow Huh the coop canisters open the goop you up in the goop canister It spills out on the floor. It's disgusting a bunch of people and gal fest I go gal fest CPR. I also let's know off the table just so he knows we didn't forget about it We weren't like just so enamored by Goop that we forgot about it.

I'm looking at this goop like this is satisfying. I think I can monetize this. Yeah. I'm just gonna have the first slime empire of Avadine. Everybody make an investigation check, if you will. Damn, I rolled really well. Not great. Nice.

That is a 24 for me. Okay, dirty 20 for Brenda Elizabeth. You guys are looking around at this crazy room full of weird gizmos and stuff. You remember the conversation those guys had about like, you're noticing who's missing, the conversation the guy had about like this version of the thing was a failure, two versions of a failure, one version of a success, and you're looking at three robots on a table to look kind of power down, one, a larger one, that Reynolds with the Artie realized maybe is familiar to you, possibly it is mop. The human is the hippie human? Yeah, it's it sounded like one of them was viable,

and that one looks viable of these three, even if you don't understand what is going on. Okay, I uh, I guess I I put my small half-lay body across so that you can't activate. Oh, I'll also say this in that in that blurb, the guy also said he hasn't been reprogrammed yet. Oh, okay, uh, that I I tap on mop Excuse me Excuse me Excuse me. All right. I guess I guess he was I guess he needs a kiss from a true love hang on what Wait I I pushed Astrid and

I play. I play. I play. I play. I play. I play. I play. I play. I play.

How do you feel about having been turned into a van? He thinks about that for a second. He's like, what?

And he looks at himself and he understands what you're talking about. Oh my god. I, uh, wait, so I'm a van now? Aren't all our bodies just vans that we ride around in life? No. Oh, okay. I like to think that my body's in the car.

I see my body in the car. I cross out that car. I'm like, a little book. No, common misconception about vans and bodies, actually. Bob thinks about it really hard for a second, and you see him just sort of like transform into a little tiny van. Oh, he's a Transformer Wow, I guess I am a fan

Ridellisbeth, you notice that Galfast has like gone up to the the the domesticated and is like nuzzling it with his nose Galfast I thought that you were feral already, but this is your chance to be feral. And I say feral because feral horses are ones that have descended from domesticated creatures, you know, compared to say a mustag or a brumbeer. You just kind of, you know, just like makes like an actual noise. Galfas, it is time to be your old horse. Go, go.

Make way. And I pushed it aside and I kiss Galfast on the way No, sorry, I missed right this situation again. I missed right it again Galfast if you'd like to live in luxury there's always a position in my stuff Godfast doesn't know what you're talking about at all Galfast horse understand if you don't speak English. I don't know what we're going to do with it. Galfas positions himself in front of the laser. No, that's what everyone is. I take a huge swig of cabbage soup from my thermos and I lean hard on the activate button.

You activate the D domesticator. It starts shaking with energy and a bright, like, purple charge starts charging and sort of a sphere in front of it. It crackles with energy and it just keeps crackling and then it hits Galfast in the chest and he just sits there. Perfectly still as this thing is blasting in the chest. It's like kind of irradiating him. It's almost hard to look at. The light is so bright. It starts pulsing with energy. It gets brighter and brighter and brighter

until there's sort of a big purple flash. Roll it to 20 and tell me what you get. Key 20, okay. Five. Five? Yeah. Okay, it was just a basically a coin flip. Okay. So that's, it's fine. Okay, it was just basically a coin flip. Okay.

So that's, it's fine. Okay. The light deactivates from the laser, but it's still sort of bright in the room. As you look at Galfast, his mains got a lot longer, his tail is even longer. He is now, like, he almost looks like the night sky. It's like purple and pink and it's glittery. He has a long go-t. Whoa.

That is swirling purple. And long hair on above his hooves. That's like, really, this like, just very full looking purple, like this, like, fuchsia, and all these other colors are mixed in with it as well You rolled a five. I simplified this table that that accompanies this. Okay. Galfas is now a Valinar Steed Whoa, Elizabeth takes a knee before Galfas and says whatever you wish I work in your service now I renounce all earthly bonds, sorry, bonk, but I can't be your girlfriend like I know you wish for I am in service of

galfa. I start playing like an inspiration, it's a very touching tune. Box bids out some more coop like he's been throwing up. Please save your sobbing for what I don't have to see it and think of what could have been. As you look at Galfas, he looks back at you. You feel like some sort of magical connection forming between the two of you. There's something happening here and essentially, There's something happening here and essentially after observing you for a little bit, he is now magically bonded to you. That means that while bonded, the steed and the bonded creature can communicate telepathically with each other at a distance up to 100 feet. Wow. We could go to two different parties and still talk to each other. But your role was for this. I was going to see which of his ancestral traits you get. But I simplified it a little bit between the two that I thought were good. So now he has

face step once a day as well. Whoa, face step rules. That's so cute because I'm so cute because I'm fay touched. Are you really? Yeah, I, that's what it is. He's a large fay. Wow. Yeah, and he says to you, Galfas, yes. That was my name long ago, but not the true name of me. Do you? And not because. I know I am unworthy, but would you grace me with what your true name is? So that I may doodle it. Quickly? So Zach doesn't have time to think

My name an ancient name It's been there for years and years and not me thinking year My name is dazzle razz Dasel razz a worthy name Dazzle Razz, what's their name? H, if ever I have heard what, so you come from the people of Sparkles? Yeah, there is. Tell us more about the people who named you, Dazzle.

My father named me and my mother. What were their names? What were their names? Well, were their names. If you consider us worthy, of course, Galafas. I mean, dazzle. It is dazzle, Raz. My father was named Razzle, Raz. And my mother, Das. That's confusing. Look, we can't dwell on this too long. I'm only talking. Did you have siblings? I'm so sorry. Oh yes, you have siblings.

Oh yes, you have siblings. Were you an only child? Because I'm kind of an only child. At least I think I don't know who my parents are or if I have siblings, but I have a lot of grandparents. I have a sister named Gazzle Shams. And a brother named Fazzle Rraz. Look, that guy escaped. Things are going down. Feels like we have to focus up a little bit. Absolutely. You're right. Wait, I can't hear you.

I just looking at Brenda Elizabeth having a one-sided conversation. Everybody watches Brenda Elizabeth stare at this horse for quite a long time. And Trattix is like, we kind of have to hurry. It seems like shit's about to go down. And that's where we'll fit the up. Shot up Trattix. I give you Bartik inspiration for nothing. I'm sorry.

That's all for today. We'll be back next week with another arc bark. Appreciate everybody listening. Everyone has a great new year. Got to be better than this year, right? It can't be worse, right? Don't say that. Oh my god. Don't put that out there. It can't possibly be worse. Oh my god. Don't please don't say that.

No. Only positivity of 2021. All right, everybody. Come on. Bye. See you next time. Bye. Bye. you you
