Tolkien, author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, bringing along lots of pop culture references, plenty of nerd humor, and the occasional bad pun. It's just a couple of friends hanging out at the pub talking about our favorite books. We cover just a few pages every episode, reading important sections of the books and having a chat about what we've read. Now, we do a ton of research for each episode so that we can bring as much background information to our conversation as possible. We do all the heavy reading so you don't have to.

It's a great way for first-time readers to learn the basics of Tolkien's world. Well, for Middle-earth veterans, it's a deep dive into their favorite stories. Now, the Tolkien fandom is like no other, so we spend time in the community giving talks at Tolkien events, recording live episodes, and hanging out with our listeners on Discord to engage with our audience every chance we get.

Hello, stinkers. Do you want to get scared? Then you should listen to the Magnus Archives podcast. That scary voice. The Magnus Archives is a weekly horror fiction anthology podcast explaining what lurks in the archives of the Magnus Institute, an organization dedicated to researching the esoteric and the weird. Join new head archivist Jonathan Sims as he attempts to bring a seemingly neglected collection of supernatural statements up to date, converting them to audio and supplementing

them with follow-up work from his small but dedicated team. Individually, they are unsettling. Together, they begin to form a picture that is truly horrifying because as they look into the depths of the archives, something starts to look back. After the conclusion of an epic 200 episode mega plot, the Magnus Archives has now returned with a hit sequel, The Magnus Protocol. So now is a really good time to start listening. So go explore your deepest fears. Search for The Magnus Archives wherever you listen to your podcasts or visit rustyquill.com for more information. Felicitations all you female steeders. Skitter on into the stinky dragon and sip on our latest libation, itsy bitsy cider. It's a mixture of tarantularic tea leaves, a grapple of apple slices, cinnamon stickiness,

climbing cloves, eight legs of nutmeg, and a water spout. One wash of this whistlewetter is enough to clear the cobwebs and avoid the rain. Previously, our adventurers fell from a foresting façade facility into a fortress of fiends and firewood. The four of them fought a ferocious baron, flying infernal foes, and fake foliage foot soldiers but were found flat-footed. Finally, the bar Baron fared the well through a fissured floor but not before fetching a friend of theirs.

Private parts. Cobble a caffeinated cup and let's continue this Kermurrine Chronicle. I like that you put a pronunciation guide for Kermurine. Yeah, I said it wrong anyways. Hello everyone, welcome to Tales from the Stinky Dragon. I'm your Dungeon Master Gustavo Cirola. I'm going to hit our four players with an arrow. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's the first day of 2025. 2025. 2025. We. 2025. We're in the future. The first full year of Stinky Dragon as a company. That's how that works. That's how time works. That'll be in June.

Well, I'm saying the first full calendar year. Calendar year. Starting now. Calendar year. Thank you, Gus. And go. The company can start now. Make a company.

Go, go, go, go. Make it work. You're giving me anxiety, go, go. Make it work. Giving me anxiety, Gus. I'm also blowing out my mic. I'm getting a little too enthusiastic here about running the company, adjusting my level. All right, everyone, your arrow question this week. It's a role-playing warm-up question.

Your question is, what is your character's most recent or frequent nightmare? And that was sent by Jamira Hearts. Jamira Hearts. Are we rolling a D20 to answer? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was sent by Jamera hearts. Jamera hearts. Are we rolling a D20 to answer? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I was going to grab. My dice.

Swing. It's been so long, I've dusted everything off. Oh, my dice, I missed you. I rolled a 17. 13. 19. Ooh. 14.

Do I have an initiative modifier? Yeah, 21. I don't know, I think we're just in G20. Yeah. Now you said roll for initiative. We're just G20. We'll do John. Is it John, Barbara, Blaine, Chris, I think?

Chris Blaine. Chris Blaine, okay. I'm like last place. Loss. All right, Natty, hit us up with your nightmares. Yeah. Yeah. Hi, I'm John Reisinger and I'm playing Natty Wonder, the Warlock Drow or Drow Warlock,

whichever you want to do with in English or Spanish. You know, cause the adjectives are different places. Now Gus is thinking about that. They're both adjectives. Are they, but they're both nouns though. Yeah, I guess I don't know how, but what would it go first? The drow or the warlock?

Anyways. I think it's drow, or it's normally character race and character class. And then class. What was my latest nightmare? Or most frequent. Or most frequent. Well, most frequent is a better way of describing this

because I have this dream all the time where it's beautiful. I'm at my wedding. Oh, that's a nightmare. Yeah, I know. And I'm there and I'm at the altar and I'm there with my wife and well, it's not my wife yet. What kind of altar are we talking about?

Like death alter? Well, you know, like I'm sure it's like the same alter like y'all have whenever y'all- Like Altered State, the closing brand. Do y'all know what an alter at a wedding is? Do you know what that is? Is that, do you guys not have weddings in your cultures? Nanny, knowing you, I was thinking like,

like a sacrificial alter kind of thing, you know? OK, OK, OK. Just making sure you guys have, I don't know what sort of traditions y'all have with like, bugbears and croak folk and ocean people. What am I? Yeah.

Ocean people. Cool. Anyways, I'm there at my wedding. And it's the most important day of my life. And I'm looking obviously gorgeous. And I turn around and I look out and it's a big wedding. I got lots of people, like a stadium of people, honestly, just a crowd of crowds. And the thing is, is that as I turn around,

I'm looking at all the faces and everyone is sad. Everyone's got like a look of like morose and worry and everything like that. And I look at them and I'm looking at all the faces and everyone is sad. Everyone's got like a look of like morose and worry and everything like that. And I can even hear some like some whimpers out in the crowd. And as I turn and I ask people like, hey, what's going on? What's wrong with everybody?

Everyone just stares at me and this kind of growing feeling of dread grows in me. And then all of a sudden I wake up and I don't know what's going on. Wow. Your wife not show. Were those words? Did your wife not show?

Okay, there you go. Maybe they found out there was not like an open bar or like, you know, it was like a buffet style serving system. Yeah, if you find out what went wrong in your wedding, please let me know all the details of what possibly went wrong in your wedding when you're planning a wedding.

Yeah, dog is like doing research for some reason. I found out 12 doesn't like buffets at weddings for some reason. That's okay. Listen, we're in a post pandemic world. I think we all know what's the deal. No, I'm just kidding. If you have a buffet, it's fine, it's fine.

We, now we did have a buffet, because I prefer to let just people go up and get food when they want. I hate when people have to wait for their food. It's the best way, yeah. Yeah, when you have to just sit there and wait for everybody to get food, it's terrible. Totally fair.

However, Tove, no matter what people's traditions are, I know that it's a major faux pas to have a cash bar. So I would never do that. Oh, okay. That's the real nightmare. That's a cash bar. So I would never do that. Oh, okay. That's the real nightmare. That's the real nightmare. So yeah, there. I'm sure it's nothing.

I'm sure it's just a whatever kind of thing. But yeah, that's my sharing. Cool nightmare. Thanks for asking. Yeah. Thank you. That's a disturbing dream, Natty. I think it maybe says, it's weird because normally

I feel like you don't mind being the center of attention, but I feel like this is a stress dream about being the center of attention. It's a little weird. We got a little duality of Natty going on there. I think you're telling on yourself when you interpret it that way, but honestly, it's not about, it's not about, I'm definitely fine. I don't know. It's some judgment from Natty here. I'm trying to figure you out. It's more so I'm just sad. Everyone's sad.

I want people to be happy at my wedding. That's all I want. You know, you want to be a good host. You want to be a good host. Oh yeah, exactly. Cool in the gang, celebrate good times, come on. And then you'll do the cha-cha slide, maybe a little, little.

That's right. Side you left. I think we covered that at some point in a past campaign. We did, we did. It's bringing up memories. No, we talked about the, uh, the other song that we thought Blaine was making up. Oh, one that's like to the right, to the right, to the right, to the right. I don't remember it.

Yeah. I still think he's making it up. Um, anyway, uh, Doug, I believe you are up. Yeah, so Doug, unfortunately, does have a lot of nightmares. I'm sorry to interrupt you, Doug. Please introduce yourself first. Oh, gosh. I'm so wusty.

My name is Barbara Dunkelman, and I'm playing Doug Boone, the level three artificer bugbear, battlesmith artificer, to be more specific. And yeah. So as I was saying before I was woosly interrupted by guys. Whoa. Just trying to help Doug.

He said it so politely too. He said it so gingerly. Doug is testing out this thing by being less, more passive aggressive, or just aggressive, aggressive, I guess. Is that a skill you need to work on? Maybe a little bit. Doug has had a lot of nightmares, unfortunately.

But the most recent one actually was, you know, being on the battlefield with his team, with the Butch Halle team, and everyone was down, they were injured, and then Doug was the only one left. And it was actually the magistrate that he saw, and he was holding all these weapons, and Doug didn't have any of his armor or his spells or his books or his tools or anything like that. And then he woke up. So I don't know what that means, but I think he doesn't want to be the last one standing, I guess. It's a little intimidating.

Maybe a feeling of helplessness? A little bit. I think that that was like episode one or three or something. Episode? What are we talking about? Sorry, never mind. I told you, you're breaking the meta here. It's my turn. I'm Chris Damaris. Hi.

And I'm a croak folk fighter. I'm a frog. Let's be clear. Hold on. Now, actually I want, I want to address that. Thank you. I go, you go first, John. I think we might be about to say the same thing. I'm curious if we are. And it's not who's John. I know what you talking about. Sorry, Natging their fingers. It's very scary. Now, you said you're a croak folk, which is your accurate race name, but then you constantly call yourself just a flat out frog. Now I'm gonna disagree with that

because you are frog like, but you are not a frog as far as like the actual frogs that we see down in the creek. And to expand on that specifically, Gunther, you walk on two legs, you're bipedal, right? You're not hopping around on fours like a frog. Yeah, I can be on two. Are you ashamed of what you are? No, I can just be what I want to be.

Why are you okay? Gunther, if you think you're a frog, you be a frog, okay, my boy? Yes. I come in and I say, this is my nightmare. Is this your nightmare? Is this happening right now? Is the nightmare in the room with us? So I was just curious like where that comes from.

Why, why you, why you like to say that instead of like, you know, Doug says he's a bug bear and I say I'm a drow and all that kind of stuff. I was just curious. Uh, the- No answer. Yeah. I figured. Okay, what's your dream? The nightmare that I have. Well, it begins where my tongue is wrapped around a stick and it will not come off.

It is very embarrassing. Is it cold? Yes. Then I see my family dying while my tongue is wrapped around and I cannot move because my family is dying. Because it's wrapped around the stick. That's really intense.

Then I'm naked in front of the entire, tire everyone. Gundo, aren't you kind of always naked? I wear clothes. Not a lot, but I wear them. There's armor. Is he like Donald Duck where he wears just something on this top half. But when he gets out of the shower, he puts a towel around his bottom. So is that your most frequent nightmare Gunther or is it your most recent

nightmare? I don't think we got clarification. It is both. Yeah. Sometimes you have the same dream over and over and it's slightly different, but sometimes it always is the same. It is like that. Sure. Okay. It's both embarrassing and sad and then embarrassing again. I may have missed this detail, but I'm just curious. When you have this Nama, you talked about your tongue being wrapped around a stick. Do you recognize the location where you are? Yeah, it is where it is like it changes. Sometimes it is at a stick that is at home. Sometimes it is a stick in army.

Sometimes it is a stick here. Is it like the same stick though? Like it's... Yes. Very distinct stick. I don't know why. All right. Well, uh, thanks for sharing Gunther. I think, uh, you opened up to us. I think you were, you were very vulnerable there. So I appreciate that. I took my armor off.

Gunther, you know, if you, if you see any sticks in the future that you want a little I think you were you were very vulnerable there. So I appreciate that. I took my armor off Gunther you know if you if you see any sticks in the future that you're a little intimidated by need us to chop them Down for you before you get close. Let us know I should stop trying to put my tongue on them Good advice. It's only a good cause of action yet. Good advice. All right, uh 12 get in here. You're up. Okay. You it's me told by my male orca barbarian Level three good day to you. How are you into viewer? Oh, I'm good I just got over a cold but I'm feeling better now. Oh, that's good. That's good. Not the third you an arrow Maybe like a dart Manageable what does darn stand for? dare No, something small, manageable. What does DART stand for? Dare?

Let's just move on. Wait, what was the question? So, you know, my most frequent nightmare. Yeah, or most recent. No, this is my most frequent. It happens all the time. And I have to preface, you know, sometimes there's like a nice beginning and middle and end. No, straight up,ons everywhere surrounding me.

Yeah, lots of them big style. And they're all just like pulling at me. They're like grabbing my arms and my clothes and my beard and things. And they're just in it's no no sound, no sound, just pulling and grabbing at me. And then I like want to pull back and be sound, no sound, just pulling and grabbing at me. And then I like want to pull back and be like, hey guys, Skellington's one at a time, please let's form a line, perhaps. Every single one of your characters calls them Skellingtons.

Like that's just a- That's just how you say that word. So anyways, Skellington's I'm like, let's get in a line. Like let's get a ticket number. Okay. And then no voice. There's nothing just like bubbles and it's hard to move and hard to walk. And it's also very dark.

And yeah, that's that one. And then also, you know, like sometimes I have a dream where I like poop in my pants. Oh, but sometimes that's real. And that's not I was about to say, if my nose ain't lying, that ain't a dream sometimes. In the barracks when you all declared you're sleeping,

who slept under Tove? Gunther. Was it Gunther, I think? I'm sorry, Gunther. I thought Gunther was like under, under. Yeah, I think Tove had the bottom bunk. No, Tove was by himself. That's what it was.

Oh, that's right. Yeah, I think it was Gunther, Doug, Natty. Yeah, that's right. Cause he wanted to, he made a comment about like getting to watch his friends. Yeah, you know, just watch him, make sure that they sleep okay, that everyone's okay. If someone needs a glass of water, I can go get that.

How now retroactively we're saying Toll was alone in his own bed cause he poops his pants. Nobody wanted to hear that. How now retroactively we're saying told was alone in his own bed because he poops his pants. That's not the case. That is this is my third most frequent nightmare. Confirmed told poop his pants. We're in that in my journal.

Where's the Baron? OK, let's talk about things that are real. The Baron says enough. I will get my answers. And she very quickly flies over and grabs Private Parts, who's been kind of left alone at this point. And she flies down into one of the holes that was there

at the southern end of the room. With Private Parts? With Private Parts in tow. Imagine she picks him up from like the scruff of his neck. Yeah. Yeah. He goes limp, he can't move. And as she does so, you all start to hear a noise from above, almost like a cacophony of voices yelling.

Like are they applauding? No, they seem angry. I told you they were lying. They're down there. Oh, the loggers. Wait, not the loggers, the people of the... Hold up, the rules are there. I know where they're from.

The rules are... Yep. That's exactly it. Why are they here? We're gonna get those mortallion people and they're gonna pay for it. Or wait not the loggers the people of the hold up my nose. I've seen the rules We're gonna get those more Italian people and they're gonna pay for what they did Well team well, I'm a leader still you're like you're like the president right now. What do we do? I think it's more military. So it might be like a general or something or Commanding Commanding officer. That's the way you go. So it might be like a general or something or, or, uh, commanding commanding commanding

officer. That's the word you go. There it is. Thank you. Nobody in my family was military. So all this jargon, it's, it's a, it's pig Latin to me. Um, okay. Well, I for one don't really want to deal with an angry mob who doesn't like the military. Also, I think it might reflect poorly upon us to Sergeant Steely

if and we come back to the base sans a private. So maybe we should blue skadoo and get down in that hole. Let us go. Hurry. Can I just throw like one quick word to the villagers to just like put potentially calm them? And then I'll follow behind. If you wanna do that on your own, I'm not gonna yuck your yum, okay? And Natty grabs Gigi and just whispers in his ear, bet.

And grabs him and wants to float down the hole. Roll to see if he does it. Ah, criminy. Welcome to the new Year, idiot. Gigi, mama really needs this. New Year's same Gigi. It's an 18. He's a bad... Do it for 2025.

Yeah. All right. So, um, Maddie and Gigi disappear down the hole. Gunther follows. Gunther follows. Toll is going to talk to the... He'll say a word to the townspeople. Doug? I'm going to stay behind and wait for toll to finish up so that he's not left alone.

I just like so kind of you. But he's doing the thing where he's like looking back at the hole and going like, come on, come on. Nettie, Nettie yells back, I will tell your story. Well, they wait down. Please don't close anything. We're coming. As Nettie and Gunther disappear down the hole,

a rope gets dropped in from above. And you see Cobb climbing down and pointing and saying, Hey, you two. There they are. Meta-wise, our most charismatic person just jumped in the hole, just letting you guys know. I'm in the hole already. No, I'm right here.

What are you talking about? Cob begins climbing down the rope into the hole and appears like a rather large vulture is perched on Cob's shoulder What what race is Cob again, so how's the scale? Cob is a gnome. So it's a it's a big bird on a little dude. They're about the same size. They're very close to the same size. He didn't have that on his shoulder before when we encountered him,

right? You do not recall that. You know how birds love holes? No. There was just like, they don't. Silence and quizzical looks. Chris, I don't think you can make jokes like that because we don't know

if you're being serious. Cobb hops off the rope and walks up over to Toll and says, Why did you lie to us? Cob, so good to see you. Hello, bird friend. Also nice to meet you. Cam. You're my... what? Cam. Cam? Cam is the bird. Cam is the bird.

Cob and Cam. Your bird is named after your voice actor. That's kind of funny. Bar, that's great. I don't know what that means. Lot of meta. So like, you know, so good to meet you Cam. Hello, Cob.

So good to see you. People of Rayzine. Whoop whoop. Do they return the whoop whoop? No, more people are starting to climb down. Gus, I need you to roll a persuasion check for Blaine to see if he persuades them to whoop whoop. Don't just know his whoop whoop. Make me a persuasion check at disadvantage. Okay, that's like a 12. That is like a zero. Oh, no, no, that's a two. That's a two. It's a one.

They are not into it. There is no return to whoop whoop. Okay. So sorry. It's a one. They are not into it. There is no return to whoop whoop. Okay. So sorry. We are giving chase. There are bad people and you know, you guys seem very bad people here. Oh, points at you to shake off. That was good.

You guys need lumber. Look to the south lumber. We've gotten you the lumber. Okay. And then if you look to the north, silver! You guys are like in dire straits, right? You know, over at Rhaezine. So here are the things that you need.

I need to go because we are giving chase. I am so sorry that we fooled you. We, no, we actually intentionally led you to this spot exactly to provide you with everything that you need, like Torv said, right? That's... yeah, totally. If you guys turn and look in the hole, you can see Natty and she's holding those like opera glasses and just kind of watching.

She's falling down. Make, uh, I'll tell you what, make me a... Hmm. Let's call it a persuasion check with advantage on this one. Uh, Toph. Persuasion? The advantage on this one. Uh, 12 persuasion. The DM giveth. That is a 12. That's a nine.

Nice. If anybody has like a carousel or inspiration or... Oh Doug, Doug does. He just, Barb just said she had one in through. Yeah, but it wasn't for this moment exactly. It's okay, let's hear it out. Let's hear it out. Let's see what happens. What's your name again? You, Tov, point your- Me? Oh, oh, it's me, Tov.

What would you do if you were in my position, Tov? I would probably be pretty upset, but trust me, and I- can I reach for Cobb? Sure. In what way? Like, in a friendly kind of way. I'm going to grab his hand with both of mine. And I'm going to say, trust me Cobb, I mean you. No harm, nor do I want any of the people of Razin any harm, okay? We are really trying to make good in this land. I believe me when I say this, please Cobb. to make good in this land. I believe me when I say this, please, Cob.

So we can take the lumber and the silver. I'm going to put it in. I'm going to put an asterisk and say, yeah. Oh, no. Oh, no. But we are not responsible for the outcome and the consequences of that. What that means. Like these belong to the people of Tihi.

But like, dude, I got to get going. So I'm gonna go Best of luck. Enjoy the lumber enjoy rebuilding Peace out and then I'm gonna Without even saying anything. I'm just gonna fall into the hole Dooses up I'm just gonna fall back Doug what do you do about that? Doug realizes that toldll just abandoned him

when he was waiting for him to go into the hole. He had a drink, he just blinged like a big drink. That's why you heard that old lady laugh in the background. Doug does that thing that cats do when they're scared of something and he just slowly backs up. Oh, he like curls his back and all of his hair is up and he just kind of makes himself look bigger.

Taking one step back with each foot slowly, and then comically like a cartoon, skitters away and into the hole. I love it. I forgot something in your car right now. Man, that's a really interesting scenario you set up there, Blaine. I was trying to think how this would play out.

And for some reason, I didn't think of this possibility. I think that's a really interesting scenario you set up, which you cannot see how it plays out. This sounds like someone who just went and saw someone's community theater performance and doesn't know how to review it in a nice way. That was a very interesting performance. Yeah, unique.

The costumes were there. You did something, yeah. I had not seen anything like that. Cool. Yeah, I don't know. I'm sure that that's gonna make a war happen between Brazen and Teehee, but I hope that Toll was I was being he was being genuine So I hope that they came through for Cobb. We're just gonna get blamed for this whatever

Spurs from this war potentially. Well, those guys said we could take it. I mean do we need to roll it back? I mean it's too late. You're not there. You're in a hole. You are in the hole. Okay. You gotta be confident with the choices you made. First things first, Toll's make me a dexterity check.

Okay, easy. You're not just gonna get a free trust fall. For the fall, for the fall. I was gonna say. I was gonna say. I couldn't do it. Toom, toom, toom. That is a, 10.

What's Toll's Dex modifier? Plus three. Oh, okay. So that was a bad roll. However, I have that thing that is called Danger Sins. You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that you see while not blinded, deafened, or incapacitated.

Weren't you falling backwards? He also was in a saving throw. Yeah, it's a check, not a saving throw. What did I do? You did a check. No, no, like Dangerous Sense works on dexterity saving throws, not dexterity checks. Okay.

The Castle of Barbarians weighed in. Yeah, yeah. Castle of Barbarians. You guys have left me, you've abandoned me. Both me and Chris, we're just here shaking our heads as Floyd was exploiting it. We're like, it's not gonna work. You know, Gus, I have a package of uncrustables I could bring to you.

And perhaps an inspiration die. Yeah, but you've got the grape ones, which are objectively the worst ones. What? That's fighting words. It's so interesting to me that people are so vehemently against grape jelly, because it seems like such a fine flavor. Don't care for it. It's just that the strawberry is better.

When you have strawberry, yeah. Let's say my kids are the same way, but I've never been like, I just like jelly. I'll like if there's jelly on the table, I will eat it. I'm not a big jelly person in general. So we used to go to Knott's Berry Farm in California and they had a restaurant outside of it that was Mrs. Knott's and so it was like home style food.

And they always had these like, just a jar or like a tray filled with all these little jellies. And that was like the best part is I would take those all. Yummy. I feel like we should have a, this is just an idea. I'm not saying we're gonna do it. In an upcoming second wind, we should have like a ranking

of all the different Uncrustables and rank them from S tier all the way down to F. Could we just do it, could we do the thing where we like try them all? Are there that many? We gotta. Yeah, we should absolutely do that. I like this. And of course, Second Wind is our Patreon exclusive post show,

which you can listen to at StingyDragonPod.com or you can actually also listen to it on Beacon, if you remember there at Beacon. We need a PO box so people can send us Uncrustables. Oh my God. I think we could buy our own uncrustables. Dis-uncrustables homemade. But what if people have like weird ones in different places around the country that we don't have access to? It's not like Pop Tarts.

Are there weird Pop Tarts? I don't know. Hey, listener, it's Zach Harper, Amin Alhassan and Anthony Mays of Cinephobe. You may be asking yourself, what is Cinephobe? Amin, would you like to fill in the people? Cinephobe is the podcast where Zach and I watch movies that are poorly rated on Rotten Tomatoes and try to ascertain. You're trying to ascertain? Yes.

Okay. Assertain. Whether or not they're accurately poorly rated or maybe they didn't get a fair shake. Cinephobe produced by this guy Anthony Mays. Hey that's me I've produced this show I also watch the movies even though that wasn't included in the description and I also ascertain this month is Oh Mays why do you say that? Supercharge it. So that this promo can remain evergreen. McCavity!

I feel like explaining a little bit more. In 60 seconds? I don't know, maybe I don't bring attention to it. Assuring people like, look, if you listen, you're gonna get it. Just give it, give it time. That's a good promo. Just listen to it.

Give it time. You'll figure it out. Is this the promo right now? Isn't it? Okay, I think we got it. Sit-a-vo. Where'd we get podcasts. Journey to the Un-End in this new audio adventure filled with cosmic exploration and strange reality bending encounters.

Un-End follows a supernatural ship and a remarkable crew on an expedition to explore the furthest reaches of the known cosmos. But their journey is fraught with peril as they discover truths and realities far stranger than any of them could have imagined. New episodes of Unended release every Wednesday anywhere podcasts are found, or through the of the game. wherever you get your podcasts. People used to send us pop tarts way back in the day. And so I'm just making an equivalent. Your your confidence dropped so much. There's totally weird types of. They did grilled cheese. OK, there you go. There you go.

There you go. Okay, we're in the hole. Yeah, we're in the weeds is where we're at. Yes, but that's where we go all the time. We live there. All right, so you all hop down the hole. L4, you are there now. And it's very dark with dusty air.

You all hear echoes of tinkering metal and fluttering of wings. Interesting. Where you are, where you all hear echoes of tinkering metal and fluttering of wings. Interesting. Where you are, where you all come down, the air is like I said is very dusty and the cave walls themselves are shiny and you find yourselves at kind of like a T intersection and there's an unlit torch. Which orientation is the T? T is standing upright or T is on its side?

Standing upright. So like there's a path to the west, a path to the east, and a path to the south. And are we, where are we? And you're right at the intersection. You said it's dusty, right? Can we look at the ground and see where the dust has been unsettled for footprints or anything like that?

Like, or even where the air is like pulling the dust, because if you ran, it would like, Yeah. Why don't you make me a survival check for that? I'm going to read a few more descriptors and then we'll deal with the results of that roll. Like I said, the air is thick with a silvery dust and the cave walls are shiny and lustrous with veins of silver.

From where you are, the West Path smells of fresh air and the East Path is blocked by a cave-in. The South Path seems to kind of like get smaller and lead down to a narrow crawl space. And what's the results of your survival check there Gunther? Oh, I rolled a six. You don't see any tracks or anything that would indicate someone came through.

However, while you're looking on the ground, you do find an unlit torch lying on the ground near that east rubble. Well, should we light the torch so we can see a little bit better. Can light the torch. Can I also, what's my dancing lights? My dancing lights, they're called dancing lights.

Can't trip, I can do it as much as I want. I cast dancing lights. So we're all doing dancing lights and the torch are just dancing lights. This one creates four torch sized lights. So I feel like that's probably, I don't know. You guys can do what you want. I think Doug will pick up the torch and take it with them though.

Yeah, I think not torch is good because so many of them like fire. Oh, it's true. Yeah. And maybe the fire will draw more attention to us somehow than just regular light. I don't know. Natti could like extinguish the dancing lights, make them sitting lights, you know, if need be. Yeah. Which way was the fresh air? Was it east or west? West.

West. West is fresh air, east is like a cave did rocks, and then to the south it narrows down to a crawlspace. Do y'all know what I've always wanted to see once I heard this was a thing? Go on. Hey Doug, could you check the crawlspace? You know, I didn't want to reveal this to the team, but yeah, I could check the crawl space. Guys, listen, I know I'm big, but as a bugbear, I actually have a very special ability to

go into very small spaces. Me too. What? So like, how does that work? You're a bugbear too? I do want to see this. Doug, are you like a cat where like if your head can fit in, then the rest of your whole body can fit in? Is that what this is?

Yeah, they can get into like tiny spaces. Are you like totally like Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon and you can dislocate your shoulder and then like pop through things? Like super like Riggs style? I'm getting too old for this. It's under features and traits. It's near the bottom.

It's called Sneaky. As a Bugbearer, you are proficient in the stealth skill. In addition, without squeezing, you could move through and stop in a space large enough for a small creature. Whoa. So even smaller than Gunther. No, I'm... Are you small? Same size. Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, absolutely. I want to see you do that, Doug. But before you do that, I just want to read something to clarify Dancing Lights, just so everyone knows what it is,. I want to see you do that, Doug, but before you do that, I just want to read something to clarify dancing lights, just so everyone knows what it is,

because it's a spell and I know you can see it, John, but not everyone can see it. So, Natty is able to create up to four torch sized lights within range, making them appear as torches, lanterns, or glowing orbs that hover in the air for the duration. Natty can also combine the four lights in a one glowing vaguely humanoid form of medium size whichever form you choose each light sheds dim light in a 10 foot radius and as a bonus action on your turn you can move the

lights up to 60 feet to a new spot within range a light must be within 20 feet of another light created by the spell and the light winks out if it exceeds the spells range so Basically, it's like four dim torches that Natti can move around it will and combine them if she wants Yeah, and since we're not in combat, I can just keep moving them. Okay, got it. That's cool. Good thing to have.

Yeah, it's fun. Everyone's whipping out their Nito powers, so I'm like, hey, look at me, I can do this. And then I like touch the silver wall and then I go, oh, and then I draw smiley face. Do you really touch the wall? Yes, he did. He said it.

Do it, do it, do it. He said it. Yeah, I totally did. If Blaine's gonna say things happen, we have to have consequences. So I totally dropped in here and did the deuces and they said, dexterity check. And I was like, okay, then nothing happens. So I just let it perfectly.

You're a dummy. The check was fine. The check was fine. It's probably like, if it was maybe below a 10, you might've hurt yourself or something. So Doug, you squeeze down. It's not like if it was maybe below a 10, you might've hurt yourself or something. So Doug, you squeeze down. It's not like super tight. You think normally someone of your size, Doug,

might have trouble getting through here, but you're able to get down without any trouble thanks to your sneaky trait. You know in a picture with a bugbear and like why they're like able to do this, you know when you have like a really fluffy dog and it gets wet and it's like all of a sudden, like it looks like a little rat?

Yeah. That's what I'm imagining. Gus has one of those. Yeah, I've got one. I've got one. He's in the other room right now sleeping. Yeah. Red dog.

As he does this, I say, wow, crawl all into the sneaky dragon. Cause he does. Oh, that's good. That's our all shoot show. I like it. Not good enough for an inspiration diet, but it was good. Oh, target.

You know what I want now is I want a Doug Squishmallow. Oh, that would be great. Yeah. The hug a Doug. Hug a Doug. All right, get in the hole. Nattie kicks Doug in the butt and shoves him into the hole. I'm going, geez.

No, I don't do that. I didn't do that. I just said. You shouted get in the hole. With commanding officer gravitas. Yeah, I don't do that. I didn't do that. I just said. You shouted, get in the hole. With commanding officer, gravitas. Yeah, it's like in Forrest Gump, when they give him the gun and tell him to get in the hole. And you like, in Vietnam and he like dives in.

Yeah. So yeah, you crawl in and much like that intersection where you were before, and Doug, you're the only one who sees this cause you're the only one who's gone in. The air is still very dusty and the walls are shiny. As you look around, you see that there is a large curtain on the south wall and rubble everywhere covering the floor.

And there appear to be two exits from this room. The one to the north, which you just crawled through, and one to the east. So the crawl space went into a room. Yes. And there's a curtain in the room? Yeah, there's a large curtain on the south wall. On the south wall.

Could I go check out the curtain? Yeah. You take a closer look and you see it's a lustrous curtain that spans the entire south wall, floor to ceiling. An inexplicable breeze seems to ruffle the curtain every now and then. I want to go open it up. This is how a dog dies. You open up the curtains and it exposes a large mural painted on the wall. The mural depicts a halfling sailor drowning in a sea,

reaching up to a chalice in the sky that appears to be overflowing with water. Halfling sailor drowning, reaching up. For a chalice, that's overflowing. Chalice in the sky, overflowing with water. That's weird to have in a silver mine. Can I look at the mural with my spyglass of Zodia? Yeah, absolutely.

You look at it and you realize you're too close. So then you stand, you take a few steps back to the northern portion of the room and take a look at it. This is like when you get to like the looking glass in Ocarina of Time and you just use it on everything and there's nothing most of the time. Yeah. Yeah, you look at it and you can see that the mural is indeed of fine quality, but it's not like the other one where you saw stars and things. It doesn't seem to reveal any further hidden information.

Could I tell by me going through this little crawl space if the other members of my team would fit through? Like, am I able to judge that size? Okay. You think Gunther definitely, and you think Tollv and Natty would be able to get through. Okay. Okay. Doug crawls back out the way he came, so like butt first towards my teammates. What's up, Pac-Man? How was it? That's how, like, copy bearers do it.

Exactly. So, uh, we'll all fit through the crawl space if we want to come take a look, but I found this like weird intersection where there was this curtain and it was covering this mural. I don't know if you guys want to come take a look. And then there was also another exit to the east, but I don't know if we should go that way. So I don't know if anyone else wants to come take a look and maybe see something that I was missing or if we all just want to take a little field trip down this way.

Okay. Yeah, let's do it. All right, yeah. Everyone proceeds into the Southern room. What's the order you all go in? I'll go last this time. I'll go first. Yeah, have Gunther go first and me go second.

I'm not going after Toll when he gets stuck. Okay. Gunther, Nattie, Toll, Doug. Stop hitting me with your tail. Why do you even have this thing? Aren't you like a, like a Drow? What is this? Ow.

Drow. I can't spell Drow without ow. It's special. Quit your grappin'. Oh, okay. Just the people want to know that you know, they've been- What people?

You keep referencing something that's outside of our world and I don't understand this whole fourth wall conversation you're having. No, there are only two walls. Is Toll the Deadpool of our group? Do not put that on me! Speaking of fourth wall, check out store.stinkydragonpod.com for all these Stinky Dragon merch needs. What a shill. Hey, I gotta buy my Uncrustables.

I need Uncrustable money. Johnny needs an Uncrustable. I need Uncrustable money. He needs an Uncrustable. Buy a shirt, go to Patreon. I thought you were gonna say something important like health insurance. Make you wet with Uncrustables. Uncrustables. They're 250 at Living Spaces. He needs health insurance because he's eating too many unhealthy ingredients. Not enough like nutrition and vitamins in those.

Okay, yeah, so you all entered the southern room. And just a quick recap, I can expand on anything you all want. Air is dusty, seems to be thick. There's shiny cave walls, the curtain, which Doug has pulled back exposing the big mural. There's piles of rubble in the room and there is a door to the east in addition to the crawlspace that came in from the north. Okay, I think Natty would be very curious about this mural, and I want to look more closely at the Halfling. Is there anything noteworthy about the appearance of the Halfling, or anything, any context clues for what they might be?

Like, are they wearing a uniform of some kind? Do they have a scar? Or are they just generic default player in a video game? Not to like double up, but you know, having a background in nautical stuff. Toll wants to look and see the same things as well. As well. Yeah, both of you go up there and take a look, and it appears to be a sailor.

It's definitely a sailor of some kind. So it's not like default adventurer with like a long sword and a pack. It is someone who's definitely a sailor. What hair color do they have? Brown. Okay. Yoohoo sailor. That's all colored, huh?

Yeah. And what's the chalice? Is there anything to describe the chalice? Like, is it anything we would have seen before or is there anything like, is it encrusted in jewels or is it just like, again, generic gold chalice? We've seen a chalice. Yeah. Yeah.

What do you mean? Wasn't a chalice. We've seen a chalice. Yeah. Yeah. What do you mean? Wasn't a chalice one of the items, like the artifacts? Was it something that was in our trunks that they found? Yeah, or like one of the things that the judge stole. Magistrate. Magistrate stole. So like full disclosure, you know, no secrets with Tov, except for some, but like I got him, I recognize this chalice symbol.

Yeah, I got a message from the beyond and they're like, dude, you totally know what this is. You totally know. That is full honesty. Cause Blaine could have just taken credit for knowing what this was, but Blaine did not. No, no, someone's like, wow, this is like the symbol of your deity.

And I'm like, oh my God, you're totally right, it is. Okay. Yeah, it's a holy symbol for a deity called the sea drinker. Oh, is this what your deity does, to just drown people in the ocean? Amongst other things, you know. Yeah, he's just like a big water guy. I don't know much about him.

I'm not very religious. I'm so sorry to say, but you know, like that's like that guy. I can totally relate. Look at him, you know? He's like, ah, water everywhere. What do I do? Drink it, of course.

Yeah, salty you. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Could I try and remove the mural? Is it like something that like is hanging on the wall or is it painted on the wall it's painted on the wall okay you said the curtain was moving yeah it seemed like every now and then it was uh it was ruffling can I like lick my finger and and see if I can follow where the this wind is coming from yeah make a investigation investigation check. What's the check for licking your finger? Investigation I'm gonna go with. Oh that's a that's a critical fail. You lick your finger and then you remember that you changed Gigi's diaper a little while ago and you start spitting. I've tasted that before, unfortunately. I told you to be careful of licking sticks. Licking sticks, no. Not the sticks.

Hey, y'all, could you help me figure out where the curtain was moving? Could y'all help me find where this curtain was moving? Why? We're in a cave. There's no wind. Doug comes over to help look. Yeah, can Gunther look as well?

Yeah, I want to look at this curtain. Is it like a fine quality? Could I like sew this into like a cool cape or something? I'll answer that in a second, Tove. Let me deal with the air investigation first. Oh, sure, sure, sure. Yeah, Tove 100% does like sewing and like knitting work. He's that kind of a guy.

Yeah, maybe. Yeah, Doug and Gunther, each of you make investigation checks. I'm on the case. 15. 16. Nice. 15 and 16?

Good investigation, Gunther. I got lucky. Yeah, both of you seem to think that the breeze and the wind is occasionally coming from behind the mural. But it's painted? Yeah. Like through the cracks of it kind of thing or like? Maybe. Is this a door?

Yeah, is this like Mario 64 if we jump into the painting? Does it like go like, yow? No, I don't know about that. Doug, wait. Tove, I fully support this. You should take a run in start. Okay.

Let me side, let me side ball here with Natty for a second. Oh sure. All right, Natty. May I call you Natalie? Is that your full government? I don't know. It is not. Natty is my full government name. Your full government?

It's actually not. It's my made up name. Here's the thing. Tov is a big boy. He's kind of like a golden retriever. Well, he doesn't know his own strengths, you know, but he thinks he's a puppy. And if he comes full speed running into this wall,

It's true. It's true. It's true I know he's gonna break or it's gonna break You know what would even be even worse is if he does it and then giggy sees and he just wants to mimic it I don't want to see my little baby do that. So what's told done while they've been sidebar and then the camera just sees a large orc just run across the scene. Ha ha ha ha ha ha So he would be investigating that. Yeah, I'm like putting them up to me, like trying them on, like, ooh, does this look like my skin color?

It's like the Grinch trying on clothes before he heads out to see the, who's like, ooh, ah. I love that. Sorry, I just watched that movie last month. Yeah, it seems to be very fine quality. It seems out of place here in like a cave system, a mine. I'm gonna like look to the left look to the right give a cough And then when I cough I rip the curtain off of the thing and stuff it into my bag Okay. Yeah, you look left and right and

Make a very loud cough make a performance check. Let's see how that cough goes I like how he's essentially performing for us 15 cough goes. I like how he's essentially performing for us. 15. As far as we know there's no enough down here. Oh yeah you all think Tollv might be sick if he sounds like he's coughing up a lung and at the same time he yanks on the curtain and pulls it down. Tollv did you get what Gus had? I hope not it was terrible. Can we look for like any openings in this mural like on the wall or anything? I actually yeah I I support that but I also like jokes aside I or anything? I actually, yeah, I support that, but I also like jokes aside, Natty would actually put her hand against the mural.

No one's touched it yet. Yeah, so Gunther, you begin inspecting the wall with the mural painted on it, looking real close, trying to find cracks. And while you're doing that, Natty puts her hand up to the wall and touches it. And Natty, your hand goes through. It was Mario.

Oh, yahoo. Wait, really? Okay, Natty would stick her head through. Yeah, you stick your head through. Doug, hold my tail. Okay, I got it. Okay, and then Natty sticks her head through. Yeah, you stick your head through

while Doug is holding onto to your tail and you Die. I'm just trying to think like how to say because it's always weird when one person goes through and gets information that everyone else doesn't have. So it's just like internal DM dialogue. We can leave. We can turn off our headphones. No, no, you're good. You stick your head in and this seems like a very windy room. It seems like there's a tornado swirling around in this silvery chamber.

And there's, in the center of the room, there's a blue halfling lying on a pile of silver pieces. Oh, wait. Blue halfling? As in blue skinned or blue garbed or blue statue? Yeah. Blue skin, like pale blue. Oh, is he like sad? This isn't the same person who was on the mural, right? Well, blue is usually what someone turns when they drown in the water. I wouldn't be able to answer that question for Doug,

but I could answer that question for Nattie. And I will say, Nattie, you recognize, it looks like this halfling is the same halfling who was on the, in the mural. And so it's a large chamber. And the only thing I see is the sailor on the floor looking blue and pale. Plus silver pieces.

No, it's windy and you see a tornado swirling around the chamber as well. Oh, there's literally like a tornado. Yes. Okay. Interesting. I think Doug would follow through the mural after seeing Natty go through it. Well, let me pull my head back. Oh, okay. Yeah, because Doug, you're holding on to the tail. The tail, right? That would be very disconcerting if Natty's like got her head through and then Doug puts his head

through. Who's holding on to my tail. That is not how an anchor works. You should have had the sailor help if you wanted an anchor. I know. Okay, Natty comes through and tells them what Natty sees. Well, as you try to remove your head from the room, why don't you make me, let's call it a dexterity saving throw.

Uh-oh. Okie dokie. And Doug, as in like an assist of some kind, why don't you make me a strength check? It's a 17 for deck save. Grand old two. Your anchor isn't very effective, Natti, but luckily you're able to,

it feels like the wind and the tornado is pulling you towards it and it's very difficult to extract your head, but you're able to pull yourself back out. Yeah, Natti would push hands out and try to just push against the wall with Nattie's hands. You try to push against the wall, but there's no wall there. Your hands just fly right through it.

Oh, it's that big of a mural? Right, yeah, it's the whole wall. Oh, OK. So this is really just a false wall. I think the whole curtain was covering the entirety of it, right? Correct. So like illusion, you know, or like, like portal.

What are we thinking here? Like, is that room on the other side or are we like being teleported? Hard to say. I think more illusionary. Okay. Because the wind. Okay. Listen, team gather around. Everybody, team meeting, team meeting.

Okay. Gunther, you still here? Yes. Okay. He's right below you. I know he's small, but. I'm here. Okay. Just hadn't heard him in a while. Just want to make sure we haven't lost our frog.

Okay. There is a tornado in there and I want to know what's going on with there's a halfling on the floor and it's the same guy I got. And since it is your deity, Tove, and you're a big old drink of water. Yeah.

I'm thinking we might create some sort of a anchor system in here with the rest of us. Okay. And we send you in to check out what's going on in there. Cool. Yeah. I will be the sacrifice. That's cool with me. Yeah.

I do want to suggest though, the ankle is usually the strongest and heaviest part. And if the ankle is the one at the front. Yeah, but I also think we learned about this folktale, about this guy named Mario, and he would sometimes turn into a heavier steel-like version of himself, and that would allow him to traverse windy areas more cool. Yeah, that's

He was a very important drow From our folk tales in some areas they call him Mario. Yeah Hey, that feels like a cheap shot at me. Good That is what I used to call it in Canada Michael Jones, he says it like Mario. I feel like it's a North thing. Yeah. So can you review the plan for me just to make sure I'm up to date on it?

Okay. I hear you, Doug. But you also are a big old so and so. And so I feel like if we just kind of really, if you kind of are the center of the anchor and then me, Gunther and Gigi just kind of help also. We can be a good source of collective strength. I'll do my best. Hold on to the curtain. Maybe have like peatons or what are climbing peatons or whatever they are.

Well, why don't we just use, as you said, the curtain that Tov took down. It's like, you know, I'll hold on to that. What are you using the curtain for? I'm confused. Like is the anchor like the rope thing around me. We can use rope. Let's use rope John I was with you I was like, well the current is probably the worst thing in the world to use in this windy place So I don't know what you're thinking to use that for to use in this windy place. So I don't know what you're thinking to use that for. It'll be like a sail.

That's what I was going to say. It was quite a bit. But yeah, I'm with Gunther on this. Is there like a stalagmite? Or tight. Well, might would be off of the floor so that we could like wrap a rope around it. Well, there's rubble and the door and not much else.

The door. Yeah, there's a door to the east. Let's not overthink this. Let's do some action and let's, we can all hold the rope. We'll kind of, let's actually tie the rope around Doug and we'll all hold onto Doug and Tove will tie it around you and you go in.

Cool, I'm so down for this. Okay, let's do it. And break. Break. You all tie the rope around yourself to give Tove a very secure anchor. Wrap the rope around Tollv as well. Who's tying all these knots by the way?

Yeah, I think Tollv doing it. We can tie around Tollv. Yeah, he's a sailor, sailor knots. They're what? Oh, sailor knots. Well, they know they're knots. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's true.

That's true. It's true. I don't know knots. I not know knots. You know nothing. I did not. I thought a funny visual is just, we're all tied to Doug. So it's just a big, like we're just all like turned into one giant person tied onto him.

Like almost like holding onto Totoro. And so we're just trying to anchor him as best we can. Doug secretly loves us cause he's getting a bunch of hugs from everybody. He just, he's starved for intimacy. I just love what Gunther contributes to this whole thing. Cause he's just like, his legs are probably not even touching the ground anymore.

That's what I imagine. Like him and Gigi are just like, like magnets on a fridge. Yeah. Toll, how are you going to go through the mural? Like what's your planning? You're going to run and dive through, or are you just going to walk through, like paint me a picture, haha,

about what it looks like about you going through this mural. Yeah, so like I've been on board a ship, you know, when the high winds and like hurricane, you know, type things. So I know that it's like a low center of gravity and a wide base, you know, will keep you stable on your feet.

So I'm gonna have a hand on the rope and then I'm gonna have the other hand protecting my face and I'm going to just slowly work my way in. Okay. Also I'm going to leave my shield outside because like that would be like a sail made of wood and you would like drag me around and I don't want that.

Drag me around. I do. I like this little gruffness that's coming out of Toll's talking sometimes. It's very fun. You lower your center of gravity, you know, square yourself off with your feet under you, put your hand out in front of you, your left hand I assume, as you kind of like lead the way through the mural and you walk up to it and your hand touches the wall. Oh no!

Oh no. You knew this was coming Gus. Oh yeah, that's why I wanted to hear in extreme detail what the house was going because if he was running through I would have had a lot of fun. Yeah, wait, why didn't he go through? Can Gunther try and touch just put this Gunther detaches himself. I think that we would all test the wall if we saw that happening, right? Okay, so Doug stands up with us all attached to him and then walks towards the wall. I just wanted to put a finger with Gunther. So like, OK, then I'll roll reversal.

I will be your anchor. And you guys test if you can go in and I will make sure you do not go in and just poke in a finger. Yeah. Doug's like a mama possum with all the baby possums attached and falling off and detaching and going off and doing their things. I do love that visual. Yeah, you all, I guess there's only two of you left,

Doug and Gunther walk up to the wall and you know, try to stick a finger through. Doug, your hand is able to go through, but Gunther, no, your finger touches the wall. What? Oh Gunther, you and me are not allowed into the club, I guess. What does Doug and Nanny have that you guys don't,

other than a feminine charm? Doug does exude a lot of femininity. What is happening here? Well, then I think we should just change our tactic, and either me or Doug should go through. We can figure out the why later, but I want to know what's with this halfling. Yeah, for sure. They're blue.

Very curious as to why only you and I could go through, Natty. So now we're doing like a Toll and Gunther anchor with Natty and- No, I don't want to say, well, do you want to go through together? Maybe we should have help. Maybe there's a buddy system.

I did say buddy system at the top of our little travel. I'll be your buddy. And we are buddies. We were buddies from the top of it All right, we're gonna go in and I need our our barbarian and our fighter to help us out Yeah, you totally got us also like we were the best anchors because we cannot even go in so like if you guys like Pulled against the wall is gambots around like, do you have to like summon him? Gambot's resting right now, you know.

Okay. Gotta get his strength back for the next battle. Show, show, show. He's on his wireless charging dock. Okay, whenever Toll and Gunther anchor themselves, like stay themselves, Gigi also joins them and holds, like if he could like try to grab both of them with one arm, one arm each. And like, he also is like, holds like a, if he could like try to grab both of them with one arm,

one arm each and like, he also is like, he's bracing. Or it's like Gigi, one leg, Gunther the other leg. Actually wait, that's what I'm saying. I have to roll weight. I have to roll something. Okay, he does do that. The opposite would have been Gigi's pushing you guys and trying to undo the rope.

Okay. I knew the rope. I knew the rope. Okay, I grab Doug's hand. Okay, you two film and Louise it into the mural. She's appearing from sight. And you walk in and there's just violet winds swirling all around in this silvery chamber. Doug, you see now what Natti was talking about. There's a pale blue skinned halfling in the center lying on a pile of silver pieces. Oh, I didn't get this pile of silver pieces.

Yeah, and you know, he's laying there and he looks happy. Oh. You know, like how Scrooge Maduck goes swimming through coins and like throws them around. It's kind of like that, you know, he's like reveling in the pile of silver coins. Wait, is he moving?

Is he like dreaming? You don't know if he's dreaming, but he is moving. Oh. Like does it, are his eyes closed? Currently, yes. OK, we go in and Natty yells out, sir, we're here to rescue you if you need that. What's your name? My name's Natty.

The halflings eyes open and his head whips around and looks at the two of you. And you see that he has silver coins for eyes. Whoa. Oh. It is some Coraline stuff. Silver eyes. He says,

Ah, welcome Natty. I am the wind trader. Hey, Doug, I don't think we have to save this guy. I don't know if we do either, but also did you ever tell him your name? How do you know your name? I just said it. I just said it. Sorry, I can't hear you. It's very windy. It's very good. Very good.

The wind trader, what do you trade for wind? And why would people want wind for trading? Ooh, wind can be very helpful in the seas. Nattie smells the wind because wind trading kind of instills a different kind of thought in Natty's head. Could Toll and Gunther hear us through the wall? Oh yeah, good question. I was about to say, if you want to experience our version of this part of the podcast, like cover your ears under your microphones and...

Thank you. You all, I guess, Toll and Gunther, you don't hear it clearly, but you can hear like muffled talking. Yeah, like that kind of how you described it, Blaine,

you know, covering your ears and trying to hear it. I think there's like another dude in there. I think another person. The hobby. I think Doug would run up to the wall and be like, Toll, do you have any need for wind? This guy's trading wind. Oh, wind is like super helpful for sailors. So like, yeah, totally. Do you want some? Give me like a few winds, please. One wind, please. Is that a wind trader in there?

Is there a wind trader? I had a question that came to my head. Um... Yes? Oh, okay. You're so... you seem happy with your life. I have a pile of money! Yeah, I mean, that brings you happiness. Very good, yeah. Are you, by any chance, the one in the picture that we just saw when we came through the wall?

Ooh, yeah. Or if I get like any questions. I'm waiting for the riddles. I'm waiting. I'm waiting. Thank you, Chris. This says like Scoville written all over it. No riddles. I have a question.

Are you a reanimated corpse? It's a good question. Like, are you are you dead? That's a good question. Like are you are you dead? I am not undead. Okay. Anywho. Someone like you might call me a demigod.

Oh, oh, hey, Tov. Yeah. In your religion that you are not knowledgeable about, are there any demigods that look like this dude? Hold. Let me look at my version of the Bible and see if I have anything on this. You can make a religion check, I guess. Yeah, that would be great.

I have the patron of the seas, sailors, and sea merchants, so I don't know if... Yeah, this is... Oh, it's the sea drinker! Pronouns, she, her, symbol, chalice overflowing with water, patron of the seas, sailors and sea merchants. That's the deity. Yeah, this is a demi-god.

Your deity is a demi-god? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Stop telling me the meta. I don't know what rolling a six means. OK, here's the thing. I'm going to say this like 12 and it may or may not be. By the way, he's saying all this out loud to Gunther. I remember as we started this campaign that like part of this whole thing was that there was like gods and then like demi gods that like lived amongst us. So this kind of tracks right? It's just like a just like a person.

Gunther, do you have anything to say about that? I think that he sounds scary. Yeah, he's kind of scary. He's happy. Yeah, a little too happy if you ask me for being in this situation. How much is the wind? That's a good question. Sir?

How much is a quart of wind? Hmm, well, depends on the purpose. What do you wish to trade exactly? Wait, the purpose or the trade material? I guess from a meta perspective, it's like, what do you want accomplished? I don't know. So like like charges based on the use I can offer safe passage to wear wherever maybe needed I think we're in a like a warp pipe again my friend Mario he also would get these places where Wind would be able to travel him to other places expeditiously.

Ask them why we can't come in! Sorry, it sounded like Dole. Ask them why we can't enter! Is there a reason, uh, Mr. Wind-Trader, why me and my friend Nanny were able to come in here, but we have some friends outside that't I ever get through I? Only allow those in who have enough currency to make a deal with me Okay, we're talking about a better like this is totally that because he does not want us to haggle Gunther How much money you got on you?

I may see Enough I may say, yeah. Enough, I would say. Okay. I don't know if I should say it out loud because I don't want him to take all of it, you know? I yell back to Gunther. He don't like poor folk. He's croak folk.

Oh man, that's good. That's good. That's the one we get from Chris today. Take an inspiration dig, Chris. That's really good. Okay, save passage, I like that. Those are two words I like. Where can you send us safe passage attune? Back to your friends. Well, that now just got ominous.

Yeah, we not able to go back through the wall? Could Doug try to like stick his arm back through the other side? Make a dexterity saving throw. Uh oh. That's no good for me. Five. You try, but the tornado gets in the way. It starts blowing you around and like redirects you away

from the wall and you're not able to approach it. OK, so it's more about the wind keeping us from making our passage back. Mm-hmm. OK. Versus like not actually being able to go through. Am I going to have to tug of war against a tornado? What happens if he tugs on the rope?

Do you want him to? Yeah. Well, I don't know. Give me like a symbol. Give me like a like a... Okay, I'll tug. I'll tug on the rope. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, before he does that, I just wanted to see what else was in this room. Like could I do like perception check or something like that? See what else there might be in here? Sure. I'll just tell you If there's something specifically you want to know more about tell me and then maybe we can make a check on that So the tornadoes it's a rushing tornado swirling with silvery coins inside of it and the halfling himself Is pale blue almost like you would say the skin color is almost like someone who drowned And he's wearing his his sailor uniform is drenched wet.

Like I mentioned earlier, he has silver coins for eyes and his fingers are long and pointed and he's carrying a rather large coin purse that seems to jingle as he moves. You know what, Doug? It just struck me that this is an opportunity to talk to one of these individuals who's connected to our deities

who have not been around on our plane very much. I'm a little scared of him. Maybe we could barter with him for even more than just safe passage. You know, they love games, right? Don't like these kinds of things. They love to just mess around. Maybe. I don't know what this guy's cup of tea is, you know?

Is there any other doors or anything like that in this room, or is it just... You look around and the halfling is sipping from a tea cup, and the silver coins are pouring out of it all around his face and his mouth. Whoa! He just made that appeal. Maybe he can make anything appeal. What do we want? We want a burger or something like that? I'm kind of hungry. So, Mr. Windtraitor. Yes? On top of safe Mr. Wind Trader. Yes? On top of safe passage.

Mm-hmm. What else might? What's on the menu? Menu. Menu. Sorry, just like you derailed my brain. Oh, we can make all kinds of deals. It depends on what you're looking for.

Wind, of course, is my specialty. OK, Natty yells back to Tolven Gunther for one more ask for help. Guys, can you think of anything that we could use wind for involving our adventures? I mean, do they have any sort of like, could they channel the wind into like some sort of a weapon? You know, like, you know, like not curse an item, but like instill it with the powers of the wind and the sea. That would be cool. Hmm, well, the sea is not my domain.

I was merely given the wind from the sea drinker. One more time, but louder. I cannot hear you very well, wind trader. I was not given the sea. The sea drinker merely gave me the wish. I didn't catch much of that. If I could just come inside and talk to you directly, this would be so much easier.

Pay the fee. What? I don't want to pay for them to come in here. Oh, I got a good way of asking this. Could you use the wind to bring someone to us that we're looking for? Hmm. Intriguing. Could you use the wind to bring someone to us that we're looking for? Hmm, intriguing. We are after all in an underground area

in which wind would be quite advantageous in kind of creating a vacuum to pull people towards us. We're looking for a barren. Huh. Yeah, you know like when you go to the bank and they have the pneumatic tube system that like sucks things, you know? Wind may not be able to bring them here,

but perhaps the wind could guide you there. Ooh, now we're talking is something that I could paint. So safe passage plus a little help to find our Baron dude. What's that gonna put me back? It's going to be like your soul. What are the colors of the wind in this situation? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? Oh, boo hoo hoo hoo hoo.

Make an offer. Silver and gold are always welcome. Oh, he likes silver. We should offer silver. If I only have gold, I know like technically like one gold is X amount of silver and blah blah blah blah. But if I only have gold pieces and he wants silver does that work for a exchange?

Yeah, are we are we are we bound to the specific specificity that we all just have gold coins? Yeah, normally, you know, that's like the exchange rate is dealt with like in trade like kind of conversion However, you are dealing with a demigod, so he will probably accept it. Why don't you try and see? He did say gold and silver were welcome. Where should we start, Doug? One gold piece. Okay, that's going to be insulting. And then he adjusts his little collar on his shirt.

I thought Doug was going to snap his suspenders. No, he doesn't have any of those. Not yet. How about 200? Oh, and I got, oh, I got. Gunther heard that. Don't have that. What about, I think he might have said 100 accidentally.

What about two? 200 is. No. What if? what if, turn to Gunther and say, I don't think negotiations are going very well. It never does. Do we maybe try to get them to yank us out of here? But I think this is worth doing.

I think he wants real barter. It is what he wants. I think you might be going a little bit too low for him to actually find a middle ground for us, you know? Okay, okay. You gotta meet them where they're playing. So how about 50? Yes.

Oh. If the whole gold piece is, that's a lot. Which is, quick, Doug, do the math. How many silver is that? I don't know. Well, by my calculations, one gold piece is equal to 10 silver pieces. And so that would be 500 silver pieces.

500 silver pieces. How about 600 silver pieces? I think we should take this. You know, I think we could make that work. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Total, right, between the two of us? Yeah. Okay, and that's for safe passage

and a buddy, a wind buddy. Wind will guide you there. Wind will push you along on your journey. Deal. I reach out my hand to Shake. Yeah, he reaches out his hand as well. And his fingers are so long, they wrap unnaturally around your hand.

Well, Natty has long fingernails, so it's kind of the same thing. Okay, fair enough. That bit of halfling with long fingers is weird. I know, that's really creepy looking. As he shakes with his right hand, he reaches out his left hand. And I shake the left hand as well,

and we start dancing. And then you do that jazz dance move. He reaches out his left hand, palm up as if expecting something to be placed in it. Alright, and now you're splitting this 50-50, Yumi. You know what, Doug? I gotcha. We gotta help out each other, okay? Okay, well Doug will remember this.

Thank you. And I hand over... That's 60 gold? Yeah, you place 60 gold in his hand and as the gold touches his hand, it turns into silver and it runs through his fingers down onto the ground into the pile that he's rolling around on. I'm not picking that up. That's yours. And he says, Ooh, exquisite! Ew, I hate this.

And with that, the winds of the tornado die down. Okay. And we go back through the wall. My pleasure meeting you, sir. Toodle-oo! Okay, I come out of the wall and I just go, Woo! Do not go in there. Hahaha! Now he passed him wind and nail.

Alright, good news. We're safe and we got some help to find the Baron. Cool. We stood out here with rope in our hands and just kind of stared at each other for like minutes. I think your deity is weird. Well, he's like a Jimmy God. He's like part of my.

Anyways, what do you say? That's actually a good question. What did you guys do while we were in there? Just kind of hung out and tried to listen as best we could. Held tight. Yeah. Of the rope. You guys were just out here hugging each other. I kind of like that.

Yeah. Just kind of T-Posed, you know. Wait, do you guys not exist when we're not in the room? We weren't allowed into the cool kids club. We were sitting outside. The racist demigod. Well, no, he's classist. Yeah. Does not like croak folk.

Poor folk. Poor ones. I feel like you guys need something to do. What do you guys want to do now? Follow the wind. How does the wind, how do I perceive the wind? What does it look like? What form is it in?

Excellent question. Why don't you make me a perception check? Oh, that's a one. Wow. Your friends all left you. Gunther, you make one too. Okay. That's a four, big four, big four.

Oh my gosh, come on. Wow. We are rolling today. Just stagnant. You got ripped off. Doug and Natty, why don't you two make me one, make a check as well. 16 plus, where's my perception? Two, 18.

A 12. Okay, maybe because you all actually talked with the wind trader, but the two of you are able to see like, little eddies and like little dirt devils going over a part of the rubble. Just like swirling in a circle over a portion of the rubble that's on the ground. Like directing a third. Hey guys, I think we should go check this out. I think the wind is guiding us in a way. I feel very inspired by the wind. I'm going to go ahead and untile the knots that I put around us.

Make the rod not connected. Okay, we'll wait for the next hour as you untie these really good knots. Let's wait that out in real time. One hour of silence now. Yeah, we point towards the rubble. Tove, you want to check that out? Oh, sure. Yeah, yeah. You can go to the rubble.

The rubble. Well, can we just start moving the rubble out of the way? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Gunther and Tove, you start excavating the rubble and moving it away. And you find the bodies of three of those winged devils beneath the rubble.

So does this feel like a recent thing or are these like older bodies that have decomposed? I would say it seems fairly recent. Were these the winged devils we saw during the cave-in with the baron? It was similar. It's hard to distinguish one from another. So we don't know if they're the exact ones,

but they're the same creatures. Gotcha. But they look freshly dead. Correct. Okay. Okay. Well, I'll carefully move them to the side as I move the same creatures. Gotcha. But they look freshly dead. Correct. Okay. Okay. I'll carefully move them to the side as I move boulders. Yeah.

You move them to the side and as you're moving, one of them 40 silver pieces fall out of its, one of its like little pouches. What? Well, Natty, I think you should maybe take D and start getting your money back. I mean, I'm gonna leave that to the group. That's fine. I do not care.

Oh, that's fine. If you spent money on things for the party, then it seems only fair that you get some money in return. Natty needs to fill out an expense form and submit that. This is gonna be taxed, just so you know. Okay. Natty grabs the silver. Yeah, FYI, Mike has reminded me, we did establish the name of these kinds of creatures

are grilps. Grilps? Grilps? Yeah. What part of the room was the rubble? Just I didn't lay the land. It's all over in the room. Where these guys were?

Where these guys were, I would say it's like close to the eastern wall where that door is. Okay. Can we continue our digging following where the wind was? Yeah, the wind seems to have moved and is swirling over the bodies. Oh, oh We investigate the bodies further. Yeah, can we look at the bodies? Yeah Blaine roll me a four-sided die Evens and odds are what I'm looking for here for okay

There were three bodies, you know The silver fell out as you were moving one of them told you look at one of the other bodies and Gunther looks at the other One told the body you're looking over, as you're looking through its belongings, you find an iron key. Ooh. And Gunther, as you're looking through the possessions of the other Grelp,

you find a scorched lantern. Scorched lantern. Does it like, look like just a basic lantern or like magical in any way? Does it, you know what I mean? Like, it was just like basic. What does that mean? How does something look magical?

I don't know. You know like how there's like food and then magic food. Well like you know, is it just like, is it just a lantern that got burnt or does it look like it's something of importance? You have to rub it. You have to rub it.

Chris, this is how magic lanterns work. Now rub it. You rub it and you rub some of the soot off of the outside but it appears to be, nothing seems to happen. to happen appears to be from what you can tell a mundane lantern well okay so like everyone be on the lookout for like a locked door because I have an iron key there's a door to the east daddy just points to that door well we don't know if it's locked oh that would be very handy dandy if this key we found opens the door sorry just looking at the

video and just looking at Blaine process that and then look down at his notes. Okay, so like, should we double back to the area with the curtain, you know, go through the cubby holes and try to unlock the door or should we follow the wind? The wind. After they have pulled the belongings from the Grelps, what does the wind do? Yeah good question everyone make a

Investigation check you've got it. It's gonna be a good one 17 7 18 Hey, gosh, I'm rolling very badly today. I got a six. Don't worry. The detective boys are on the case We have found it. I think all the wind that was happening maybe brushed all my hair in front of my eyes. So. That's a lot of hair. I'm in trouble seeing. I'm so caught up on the word,

Gryllps, because it just sounds like, like an affliction, like, like there's like, I don't know, warts that have grown into your throat. Oh, I got a case of the Gryllps. The Gryllps. Go get some antibiotics for the Gryllps. Yeah, Gryllp is singular and plural, by the way. Oh.

Oh, it's Gryllp. Yeah, we're probably not gonna remember that, just FYI. I wrote it down. Steel trap, it's in there now. What's their investigation get them? You feel like the wind has shifted. You don't see like little swirling dirt devils

or eddies anymore. Instead, you feel like the wind has shifted and it's coming out of the west, blowing towards the east. Out of the west, blowing towards the east. Out of the west blowing towards the east. Towards the door. Yeah. The wind is that way.

Okay. And then like follow it. Gunther wants to close his eyes and just feel the wind and walk towards it. Okay. Ooh. The wind feels nice and cool on your skin. Do you know what I mean? Like where he just feels where the wind, like almost like lets the wind move him. Yeah.

Yeah, it slowly pushes you to along towards the east. Micah says, use the wind, Luke. I keep thinking of Pocahontas in that song. Yeah. The wind. Do I take the steady path? Cool. I'll follow.

Yeah, where does that take us? Does that take us to the door? I just like the idea that Gunther's following the wind, but it's like veering him off. So Tov just kind of gently pushes us to the door? I just like the idea that Gunther's fallen in the wind, but it's like veering him off. So Tove just kind of gently pushes him towards the door. Tove is his rudder. It seems to guide you towards the iron double door on the Eastern portion of the room.

Cool. I'll take out the iron key. Do you want to see if it's locked first? Oh, give the door a little jingle jangle and see if it's unlocked. The door is locked. Oh, I give the door a little jingle jangle and see if it's unlocked. The door is locked. Oh, if only we had a key. Just kidding, I have one.

Ooh. I unlock the door. Bold you to assume that it's the correct key, but it is. The key fits in and unlocks the door. Playing looks very smug. I say, you hoo, it's mid-tow coming through. Baron. The door is now open. Gunther, are you still allowing the wind to push you through? Yes. Yes

I like the idea that told opens the double doors and got there just like Wafs in As Gunther wafts in you all see this but he doesn't because his eyes are closed Oh No Gunther walks firmly into the Backside of an orc who's standing very upright with good posture Who's wearing clerical vestments that seem to be made of some kind of baby rat skin? The size I'm sorry the size of this means that Gunther went into his butt

I'm just I said back side but yeah, that's essentially it. Face into derriere. It's just like he's taking deep breaths with the wind. No, I mean... The source of the wind. He turns around when Gunther bumps into him and you see him wearing a glowing silver ring. And he looks very intensely at the four of you and says, Have you come to help purify this world? Oh no, this place is just is just barrel of monkeys who just want to fight.

Yes, crazy city. We do have come. Yes. If someone asks if you're a god, say yes. Find out if they are indeed here to purify the world. On the next episode of Tales from the Street. Is there no nice people in this land? Is this just a bunch of-

How do you know this person's bad? He's talking about purifying the world. It's true, we don't know. Yeah. Purify the world doesn't end well. Fantasy Mr. Clean. Find out what world purification's all about on the next episode of Tales from the Stinky Dragon.

Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Should I marry Coco-Wan? I've never seen Pocahontas, so like I've... Well, you just got to remember this, Chris. It's historically accurate. I'm sure it is. Oh.

Um, what can I tell you? I can tell you that for those that don't remember in the episode, that was the Baron asking, I don't know who they asked. Was it was it Tollf? Might've been Tollf. Yeah, might've been Tollf. Do you know who or where maybe that, I can't remember the exact question.

What do you know of the Pathfinder? What do you know of the Pathfinder? That's what it was, okay. We haven't heard that name before in this campaign. What do you guys think? What are some guesses of the Pathfinder being? I have some ideas. We've encountered like in that cave,

we encountered, um, almost like nautical navigational equipment and stuff like that. And there's like stuff with astronomy. And I feel like that's gotta have some connective tissue with whatever the Pathfinder is. It seems like there's like searching for something. What it is, I don't know.

Well, they're looking, we're ultimately looking for the gates, the key to the gates of Hydra. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. My brain just went, you remember these things. That was a good recall. That was a great recall. Yeah, yeah. You can't tell right now, but I'm so proud of you guys right now.

That's pretty good. It's colored in everything. It's colored in pencil. Wow. No, it's highlighters. I use highlighters for all my... You can see like my notes are like this. That's great, John. That's good. I wish I had handwriting I could read. Do the different colors mean different things?

It's either just something to highlight, like something that's important, or I use it as connective, like, tissue to like be like, this connects to this. So look at this. Can you take a photo of that and select it to Ben? Yeah, like right here on this one, you can see this is a map, but I ran out of room. So pink goes back to this pink.

Oh. So this is our chase for the magistrate. Very cool. This is my notes. I like colors. Actually, I wanna get more highlighters. I only got four colors, I want to get more. I want to get more highlighters. I only got four colors and I want more. Also while we're sharing, look at my mommy gave me for Christmas. What is that? It's a dice tray. That's a little leather kitty. Oh my

God. Take a picture of that too for Patreon. Okay. I was going to say we can post that that map on Patreon and maybe even the kitty dice tree. I should just take pictures of all these. I've taken a lot of extensive notes. Which by the way, you could support us on Patreon by going to stinkydragonpod.com. Dude, you suckers. Barbara, you took the words right out of my mouth.
