Hey , welcome back everybody .
Speaker 1Welcome back to the land of EAM official actual play . It's the EAM stream . You know the EAM stream .
Speaker 3The EAM stream . Um , I don't know why I was channeling like Kermit's Frog . I think Ben said that . I think I led you into it . You did , you did . They just instinctively followed suit Instinctively . You know what I mean . So hey , who's the bigger fool ? The fool of the fool follows them .
Speaker 1You know I'll be , you know you know , the biggest fool of all is this , Gersh Hudson , who is still labeled as Gersh Hudson .
Speaker 3Oh , oh man .
Speaker 1Whoa , whoa Gersh . If you're wondering , if you know , galen died . No , galen is fine . Gersh Hudson was from our Halloween stream . You can check it out on YouTube . It was a .
Speaker 2Ghostbuster RPG stream .
Speaker 3Yeah , it was a Ghostbuster stream .
Speaker 2Gersh Hudson no relation to Ernie Hudson .
Speaker 1No relation at all , only reference .
Speaker 3Yeah . So um go for it . Yeah , thanks for uh , thanks for joining us everybody . We're about to jump into his Gersh again .
Speaker 1Yep , he's just can't , can't get rid of him .
Speaker 3He's not Ernie Hudson at all .
Speaker 1No , no , that'll be fixed shortly . Carry on .
Speaker 3Uh , so this is the actual play for the Land of Eame . We're going to continue the adventures of Galen and Riley um and showcase the Land of Eame RPG game . Uh , that has been loosely inspired by the Rickety Stitch and Gelatinous Goo graphic novel series . Check it out if you haven't .
Speaker 2I mean it's very much inspired , it's said one .
Speaker 3What did I say ?
Speaker 2Loosely .
Speaker 1It's the most non-committal form of inspiration . Yeah , it's not . I don't know where that came from .
Speaker 3It's literally in the world of Rickety Stitch , though you don't need to .
Speaker 2This is loosely based on actual events .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 2Yeah , that's what it is .
Speaker 3That's what it is .
Speaker 1We actually have the Chronicles of Zona Inbuk in our hands , and we're just acting them out .
Speaker 2Indeed , yeah so let's , uh , let's update everybody on , like , where we are in the story yeah when are we ?
Speaker 2Um , you guys are in Marshgate once again , which is this little city at the edge of the used to be forest and quagmash , um . So , after many adventures in the quagmash , you finally made it back . You did a little job for Vera , the math magician who wanted you to find crazy Ernie in Marshgate Manor , and it was this harrowing adventure , like three sessions devoted to uh traveling through this trap filled dungeon . Basically , you found out that Ernie has been captured by Sarpathy , which are these nefarious snake people that have cropped up in the Mucklins all over the place , and you both have uh stories that are tied to this .
Speaker 2Our path here . Um , they destroyed your village . You guys are best friends from the same village , or whatnot , um , and then so you also have a bunch of paperwork that you have to take to dunk to um , to uh , I guess ratify it's the only word coming to mind . Yeah , the bridge change of one , sven , the Yodeling troll , who you met a long time ago , who's currently at the crack . I think you guys are heading to the crack first to talk to him .
Speaker 1Yeah , I'm going to check in , show him the paperwork Check in .
Speaker 3Let him know that we got it all filled out and we're going to deliver it Hand , deliver it to dunk ourselves .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2So , yeah go ahead .
Speaker 1Now I was going to say , if you wouldn't mind refreshing your roll , 20 , uh , gersh Hudson will leave the building and Galen will arrive . Classic In classic fashion . Classic fashion .
Speaker 3Thank you .
Speaker 2So this will give us a nice view of where you're headed . Ultimately , you're going to dunk over here , currently over here . That's a long . It's going to take multiple weeks of our lives .
Speaker 1Yeah , our real life , actual play lives and I don't know .
Speaker 2You guys were talking about going all the way up to the great slog . I think yeah .
Speaker 1I don't know if you're still going to do that , but Well , we remember we ran into a person who notified us about the last tree . Right , right , let me see . Yeah , yeah , I have to run down . Maybe I didn't write that down .
Speaker 2Oh Ryan , hey Ryan , I don't know if you're still here . Uh , miss Ryan from Comic Con Just got elephant eater comics .
Speaker 3Oh yeah , hey Ryan .
Speaker 1Very cool , very cool yeah .
Speaker 3Yeah , that's true , george , you're right . We were going to check out the last tree and then determine if we were going to go through the Ettenhorn , which doesn't sound .
Speaker 1Yeah , it was Ichabod Lundy On our lunch date . He reminded us that the or notified us of the last tree and the use before us . The green gallivanters are trying to think of something to save it , and we should look up a J Spinky Nabber Nutty .
Speaker 2The famous J Spinky Nabber Nutty who could read it .
Speaker 1He needs no introduction .
Speaker 3Not at all . Not at all Um .
Speaker 1Well , it's perfect , yeah , so we'll still hit the crack and we'll head over to last tree .
Speaker 3Um , and we could die in Ettenhorn . Yeah , dying in horn . If we survive Ettenhorn , we actually could take the river down to dunk and save us some time and pain .
Speaker 1I believe we got a folding canoe right . We do it's just a canoe .
Speaker 3but we have a canoe , Just got to get to water .
Speaker 1Okay .
Speaker 3I love it . It was a nice find , nice find , perfect . You know what I mean .
Speaker 2Have you guys addressed your inventory space ?
Speaker 1I don't know what you're talking about .
Speaker 2We totally have not A canoe is like it's going to be at least three slots . Yeah , we said we're going to roll it .
Speaker 1Yeah , the turtle only gives , I think , 12 additional slots . I'll look it up while we get rolling here . Yeah , but we should do . I'll do an inventory balancing shortly .
Speaker 2Is there anything you want to get in Marshgate before you head off ?
Speaker 3Food . We should probably stock up on rations , since that's always a pain point for us .
Speaker 1Unfortunately , yeah , yeah , definitely .
Speaker 3Maybe some rope , just so we have it . We've needed it several times .
Speaker 1Now I have string . Yeah , okay , sounds good .
Speaker 3What else ? I think that's it .
Speaker 1That might be okay .
Speaker 3All right .
Speaker 2Can ? I don't know what type of coinage you have , but those are copper . Still have a gold pouch .
Speaker 3You have all the gold . I have none .
Speaker 1Yeah , I think it was just one gold pouch for the party . I think we can split that into nine copper pouches or three silver pouches . Right , that's kind of how it works . Yeah , because I don't want to go bartering with my gold pouch and lose it all in a rash .
Speaker 3Right .
Speaker 1Yeah , what I'm saying .
Speaker 2That is more inventory space , like splitting up into nine copper pouches , oh so each monetary item counts inventory space .
Speaker 1What does that ?
Speaker 2It do .
Speaker 1There's so many . There's so many rules or regulations Make you track . I love it All right . So , James , while I look up this turtle thing , you want to do some roles for the rations and such .
Speaker 3Sure .
Speaker 1I'm just going to make sure we have enough inventory space to what do I need ?
Speaker 3to be six yeah .
Speaker 2If you roll a one or two , you spend it all . I roll a four . Okay , that'll buy some rations . You should roll it individually for each item .
Speaker 1Yeah , so we have to do like one for each ration , because we definitely want like two or three rations just in case we consume them .
Speaker 3Yeah , like weeks rations , one week rations , yes , yes , so it's three .
Speaker 2Okay , plus 12 inventory . You spend it , I think . Are you telling me what you're buying ?
Speaker 3So I was buying . I was going to buy four rations packs , like two for each of us , and then get a rope . Okay , I got to roll one .
Speaker 2Well , you spent the copper pouch on the rations and you were able to buy a rope as well .
Speaker 1Awesome , excellent , and my total inventory slots are going to be 35 . So we're actually not in bad shape .
Speaker 3Yeah , I think I'm . I don't . I didn't tally at all , but I know that I've got room just because I've got some stuff and I'm not carrying that much .
Speaker 1And Ben materials take up .
Speaker 3Let's see my pencil over here , my role playing pencil . Here it is .
Speaker 1This is it . Yeah , I think we'll have . We might have trouble carrying materials .
Speaker 2Yeah , yeah , two materials take up an item slot .
Speaker 1Oh , it's two per item slot . Okay , Cause I have . We got seven materials from that old Horde .
Speaker 2We got to come . You should have a bunch . You got a lot from the .
Speaker 1Yeah , I wasn't keeping track of all the materials .
Speaker 3I have six on me . I think there was 19 more , but I could be wrong .
Speaker 1Okay , well , we'll roll back the tape , as I keep promising that sounds right . It was a lot .
Speaker 3It was it was like 19 .
Speaker 1So yeah , right , so do you want to use them at all before we head out , because I don't think we can reliably carry all that stuff .
Speaker 2Use them or lose them , yeah .
Speaker 3I suppose we could break out some of the crafting rules and I could make something .
Speaker 2Yeah , let's do it .
Speaker 3All right , let me , let me crack open crafting .
Speaker 1Oh wait , you got the craft , we don't got the craft .
Speaker 3I'm going to read it off of your screen , Benjamin .
All right , what do you want to craft ?
Speaker 3Hmm , what do we need , george ? We , you've got armor , we have weapons .
Speaker 1Finally , yeah , are there other pieces of armor ? Do we have item slots , as usually goes , or how does that ? It's just , you can equip things in a reasonable fashion , I imagine right .
Speaker 2So you'll you'll need to buy some crafting tools .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 2And , depending on what you need , you might need like a forge . So that's probably not feasible at the moment .
Speaker 1Yeah , Does the loyal chum come with something along those lines ? I forget Mobile forges , level six I take it back . Okay , that's what I was thinking of .
Speaker 3Um , I guess I could get some tools .
Speaker 2I mean , we could have said this was like between sessions . If you want to do something , I don't care .
Speaker 3Sure , well , why don't we continue ? And I'll just look around and see what I can make .
Speaker 1We'll hit the road and we'll we'll retroactively figure out a couple of these things .
Speaker 3I don't want to slow down while I geek out about crafting stuff .
Speaker 1I know right , I'm going to get mired down in the the awesomeness of the system .
Speaker 3Like I don't have a lot of components required to make some stuff .
Speaker 1So yeah , we got some pocket filler strings , Karen crystals , creep thistle and a Dunamite ship .
Speaker 2Yeah , so with like regular materials you could just make mundane items or everyone , basically .
Speaker 1But that Dunamite ship , I think , is a . I've got a Dwimmer steel , so I can do some good stuff you can make stalwart armor with a Dunamite ship Once per combat . Give disadvantage to attack . Roll against you . That's pretty good .
Speaker 3That is pretty good .
Speaker 1As a solid piece of kit there .
Speaker 2You could make trusty bladed weapon , ranged weapon or tools with Dwimmer steel .
Speaker 3I've got a trusty ranged weapon .
Speaker 1Yes , it's true . Yeah , we can make a magnificent fiddle with pocket filler strings . It's amazing .
Speaker 3Gosh , you know what might be helpful , like some tools , like a pry bar .
Speaker 1You want to just bank some out of the materials real quick .
Speaker 3Yeah , I think I'll do that .
Speaker 2Cool , While you're doing that , let's well , this is what happens actually .
Speaker 1Yeah , we hit the road , I think right .
Speaker 2Before you exit town you're approached by Taskmaster Dundoon , who's the subterranean pits and layers like leader around here . Marshgate is comprised of three competing uh Dungeoneer outfits . Uh , sovira is with an assailable co and this guy is his competitor . And he comes to you and he says for her competitor and she says uh , he says he says yes , look , I know you guys have been , you know , bubbling around here for the past couple days . Where's Crazy Ernie ? I know some suspicious going on here .
Speaker 1I continue to type while he talks at me . I look over to him and I say , uh , crazy Ernie's , he's gone right now . We're going to go find him . What ? Yeah , he's not here . I repeat myself . I say Crazy Ernie is gone right now .
Speaker 2We're going to go find him . Whatever your pain , I'll pay you double .
Speaker 1I say , uh , that's , that's nice buddy boy . But uh , you know , we're not really . While we are doing it for the money , uh , we are also doing it for Crazy Ernie . So I mean , I turned to Riley and I say Riley , this guy wants to pay us double . But uh , I don't really trust him . Vera's been good to us . I kind of want to just stick with her .
Speaker 2Looks like James is uh time changer .
Speaker 1Okay , riley's back . Yeah , did you catch what I said ? No , that's fine .
Speaker 3I didn't catch what you said , sorry . Sometimes it switches me over to another Wi-Fi without my consent .
Speaker 1Yeah , without my consent .
Speaker 3You didn't ask nicely how dare you ?
Speaker 1Um . So I turned to Riley and I say , riley , this guy wants to pay us double , but uh , you know , vera's been real good to us . I don't want to , I don't want to really ruin that relationship .
Speaker 3Yeah , that's a good point , Uh , but we're talking about double .
Speaker 1Riley's eyes turn into dollar signs . Zoni and Buck immediately writes down and Riley was seduced by the power of gold .
Speaker 3I mean , we don't know much about this guy , though I'll tell you that .
Speaker 1I say , uh . I turned to Taskmaster Dunedun and I say , um , tell you what . We're going to sit on it and think .
Speaker 2Nope what . Sit on and think you guys are going halfway across the world .
Speaker 1Yeah , yeah . When we bring back Crazy Ernie , we'll see who we give him to .
Speaker 3Gives us a lot of time to think .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 3I don't like this . It gives you a lot of time to come up with triple .
Speaker 1That's the inner shrimp of Riley's Sprinkle coming out .
Speaker 2Just a bunch of mercenaries .
Speaker 1Uh , I mean , it's not wrong , it's all we do .
Speaker 2Mercenary event . Look , look , have I pitched you on what SBL has to offer the world . I mean , we are . We are at the forefront of civilizing the underlings Okay .
Speaker 1Uh-huh , doesn't that mean enslaving the underlings ?
Speaker 3Yeah , Civilizing the underlings ? I don't know that . Uh , that that tracks well with me .
Speaker 1Yeah , tomato , tomato . You know what I mean . We already saw what Gearguard did to the and tried to do the underlings and that was terrible .
Speaker 2Gearguard . I mean , that's a war for us .
Speaker 1Eh , I don't see you guys as any better than him .
Speaker 2What are you talking about ? We got a hierarchy , we got like a chain of command , we got pencil pushers keeping everybody in line . It's all on the up and up .
Speaker 1Wait , literally , gearguard had the same thing . He had a chain of command , he had Brutes keeping everyone in line , where they would just beat each other into line and , uh , it sounds a lot simpler than the pencil pushers .
Speaker 2Yeah , making a big mistake Just just keeping in mind we didn't say no .
Speaker 1We said we'll keep it in mind . And then you're here , tough talking .
Speaker 3We'll keep it in mind . We'll keep it in mind .
Speaker 1You keep it in mind .
Speaker 2I won't be able to stop thinking about it .
Speaker 1We will be , uh , but we'll keep it in mind . All right , me and FB just start kind of like slowly trotting on Like he runs alongside of us , not really keep it in . Come on , come on , buddy , I'm serious .
Speaker 3I'll say , and I'll say thank you , by the way , and then , like , take his cup of coffee out of his hand and sip it as I go .
Speaker 1Think about triple .
Speaker 2All right , make a realms check as you .
Speaker 3Oh right , land At Georgie you want to get this party started .
Sure , sure . Let's see if we immediately break a tourist leg and have to change it out .
Speaker 3Oh man , hopefully not . I mean , I feel like you've gotten all the bad roles out of your system . Nope .
Speaker 1That's a four .
Speaker 2Oh boy .
Speaker 1You say that like I've been getting bad roles out of my system and they just keep cycling back in .
Speaker 3And has to quickly take the book out of our view so we can't see the random encounters tables .
Speaker 2Yeah , I'll be a mess , you know .
Speaker 1You got a dangerous encounter .
Speaker 2Oh dear . It sounds about right Roll the D100 .
Speaker 1I'm excited because we have full head points 80 . 80 , 80 , 80 .
Speaker 3All right , and . Frozen is going you know what I mean .
Speaker 2You cross paths with a troop of boggert musicians and they're freaking out and they hail you on the road . They're heading in the same direction actually .
Speaker 1Pulls along side of them oh .
Speaker 2Sorry , which way are you moving ? Move your place to two hexes .
Speaker 3Going to crack Two hexes 25.16? .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 2Things are better than in the swamp , where you're only moving one hex .
Speaker 1That's true . I've been so accustomed to only moving one hex Just dredging through yeah .
Speaker 2So these musicians are actually headed to Crogland and they're like , hey , you got a kazoo player .
Speaker 1I like it Riley , assuming that she knows how to play the kazoo because she's so talented .
Speaker 3I mean , I appreciate the offer but I don't know how to play the kazoo . And if you're headed to Crogland you might want to watch out for that cotton candy .
Speaker 2We got a gig there and we lost our kazoo player on the road . We woke up and he's just gone . We think , ah , no idea what happens . Did anybody go looking for him ? Yeah , but we don't have time . We got to make the gig . We don't know what to do .
Speaker 3Don't know what to do .
Speaker 1I mean we could do a quick search of their campsite and see if we can find something real quick .
Speaker 3Yeah , maybe , like I'll do a quick search , like maybe we can find some tracks or something .
Speaker 1Yeah , see , we'll take a peek real quick , but we're on our way to the crack .
Speaker 2The crack . Why would you want to go to the crack ? That's highly dangerous .
Speaker 1Big business opportunity .
Speaker 3We got some buddies there .
Speaker 1Big .
Speaker 2All right , we're going to be headed to Crogland , I guess , and uh well , yeah , can we search your campsite real quick ?
Speaker 1Maybe we'll be able to find something . Everyone show me your feet so I can rule out your tracks .
Speaker 3Smart .
Speaker 1Probably not how it works , but I'll take it , you talking about murder or something they point west to where their camp was .
Speaker 2They're kind of , you know , far away now .
Speaker 1We could go out of our way real quick and see if we can find . I don't know , what do you think ?
Speaker 3Well , I can't play the kazoo .
Speaker 1No , no , I mean , we could go out our way and see if we can find the uh track .
Speaker 3Yeah , we'll go over there and see if we can . Uh we'll .
Speaker 1We'll deviate a little bit towards there in favor of their camp to just search it up and see if we can locate them .
Speaker 2Okay , um , yeah , make a search check .
Speaker 1Uh , you want to do it , james . My search is plus zero , so is mine . That's right . Okay , we've got our twos out of the way .
Speaker 3We just I don't see anything .
Speaker 1We're combing the desert and we ain't found stuff .
Speaker 3Yeah , he's , he's , that guy's gone .
Speaker 1He must have cut out Um we shrug yeah and continue on our way Right . Their show is a failure . Uh , they attribute it to two wandering adventurers .
Speaker 2Oh , no , yeah , yeah .
Speaker 1They said it was our fault . We should have been able to play the kazoo .
Speaker 2Um , what happens on this ? A two is pretty bad .
Speaker 1Yeah , um , but with a plus , right , I mean it's bad with a plus .
Speaker 2No , it's bad . Uh , it's the worst thing you can roll . It's a one and two , I think we'll roll a uh wandering creature .
Speaker 1Yeah , I was going to say maybe we encounter whatever ate this guy .
Speaker 3Oh no , the kazoo player . He's going to gobble him up in the desert .
Speaker 1We're going to kill the creature and out of its belly fall to kazoo .
Speaker 3If there's enough time , that he wasn't and lips attached to it .
Speaker 2Yeah , as you guys are searching , um , you kind of dip your head into this cave , Um , and among like shows it's wriggling jelly body in the dim light and then starts like coming after you surprisingly fast .
Speaker 1Oh , my goodness Um well , I know what I'm doing . I will . I will charge him . I'm still on my war , tortoise , because we were outside and I'm just going to ram . No , yes .
Speaker 2No yeah .
Speaker 1I'm going to ram for 1d 10 dread and knock him over .
Speaker 2Uh roll initiative .
Speaker 1Yes , I do that too .
Speaker 2Unless James , you wanted to do something pre-combat .
Speaker 3I am going to lose scenario with my trusty bow .
Speaker 2Also roll initiative we both did .
Speaker 3We go first Initiative .
Speaker 1Uh , let me make an attack roll with wilderness . You know to command my port of Landing the tortoise . It's a nighter .
Speaker 2Oh , that's a hit .
Speaker 1D10 baby oh three . It's a glancing blow . It's a little bit dark , a little bit murky and gelatinous , mung kind of bounces off the side but takes some impact damage .
Speaker 2Sorry , I'm going to the mung entry just to check it out here . You know what they have minus one defense . You know , what that sucks , so it gets a counter attack against you , okay .
Speaker 1All right , I accept , I have a six attack . Uh , they have still plus one defense , I suppose .
Speaker 2So you can also counter attack .
Speaker 1I can also counter attack Okay .
Speaker 3You have armor on the right George .
Speaker 1Right , but the armor doesn't help we all get five , courage , but it doesn't improve my .
Speaker 3Got it .
Speaker 1Uh sorry , but I take five damage , yeah five . So my temporary courage is gone . Now I'm just regular courageous and I counter attack .
Speaker 3You are courageous , oh Yep .
Speaker 1Definitely haven't gotten all the bad rolls out of the way . That's a one . Or is it three ? It's a three .
Speaker 2Okay , that's a failure with a plus you in your duel with this one mung .
Speaker 1Well , ben , real quick . I'm sorry , let me rewind . I did my tortoises attack does have knockdown , like has says , and knocking them over . Okay , can you knock them over , though it kind of just like wriggle right , great philosophical question .
Speaker 3Um question that requires another stream We'll be doing this afternoon .
Speaker 1Two din for our two hour discussion on the philosophy of philosophy of money . To my or not to mung .
Speaker 2You know I'll say it'll give Riley a plus two . I like it , yeah To her shot .
Speaker 3That helps because I need a . I need a 10 , I believe , because it's a minus one .
Speaker 1Yeah , maybe , maybe the yeah Okay .
Speaker 3So if I use a quest point , I will hit it .
Speaker 2Cool .
Speaker 3So I'm going to do it .
Speaker 1Nice , you've got a dark side point because you use a quest point to try .
Speaker 3I've dread .
Speaker 2The arrow just pierces into the mung and it like dissolves into a puddle and you find a little kazoo there .
Speaker 1Oh no , the lips still attached .
Speaker 3The kazoo guy . Let's grab the kazoo and like , bring it back to him and be like we're sorry , but yeah , he's gone , he is among . Got him .
Speaker 1He is among the mung now .
Speaker 2Among among us . Yes .
Speaker 1Oh , tune in later for our mung us stream . You know it's the latest hit game . Replaying mung us .
Speaker 3The first series of 20 episodes . Yeah , let's bring the kazoo back and say we're really sorry , but your pal is he's . He's born food mung food . He's mung food .
Speaker 2We do it . That'll take you off path .
Speaker 1That's okay , yeah , maybe we'll . It'll head us back over to feels important to let the go towards the program , or you want to move to and we'll just end up there or something .
Speaker 2Um , 15 is fine . Okay , you catch up with the musicians . What do you say to them ?
Speaker 1We've got some play a sad kazoo song and they say you're hired .
Speaker 2Oh man .
Speaker 3Oh man , it's like somberly hand over the kazoo , like yeah , I'm not , like it was a mung we were too late Dead .
Speaker 1Yeah , that's offensively , we think so .
Speaker 3Yeah , we managed to do yeah , but you can now cherish .
Speaker 2Listen , here's like two free tickets to Crogland , you know , if you ever want to , I just oh , I just want to say thanks , but this is a horrible situation .
Speaker 1I read the fine print at the bottom has cash value of.001 copper . So we can't even like resell them .
Speaker 3The Crogland ? Isn't that where we started ? We like got sick , oh my God .
Speaker 1Yeah , we'll go back .
Speaker 3I'll try Crogland again , but I appreciate this . Thank you for the gift and we're sorry , sorry , yeah , yeah , good luck on your show , indeed .
Fairly well , thanks , we're not going to have , you know , that steadying kazoo . That really just holds down .
Speaker 1Yeah , and you know , a good kazoo ties the room together , you know .
Speaker 2It's true , bye .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 1Fairly well .
Speaker 3It's like starts to rain and yeah .
Speaker 2You guys can move one more . Hex , you'll have to make another check .
Speaker 3I will go for it . Go for it yeah .
Speaker 1Six Nice .
Speaker 2A bump in the road . The dump Roll a D6 .
Speaker 3Come on , two , two , two . That's not so hot . Lost supplies Good thing you bought the rations Geez Lost Gone .
Speaker 1One of them is gone . Yeah , okay , man , that's . It can be one of mine , because usually Riley is the one suffering .
Speaker 3Yeah , I feel like I've been starving it at the last two quests .
Speaker 1Yeah , yeah , you keep two rations .
Speaker 2I think your tortoise got into them a little bit .
Speaker 1I can't even like . Oh my God . One of his name is Frau Blucher . Frau Blucher , you know I say FB . You know how many times do I tell you this is people food . Your food is down there . I point to like reeds on the side of the road . I grab the reeds up and I shove them in FB's mouth .
Speaker 2FB just like recoils , sick of weeds .
Speaker 3Yeah , she wants hot dogs . I give her a good brushing . I understand the entire next day we'll have to deal with like tortoise flatulence . Oh yeah , yeah .
Speaker 1You know , it's true she's ration intolerant , but she loves the taste .
Speaker 2You guys make it to the edge of the crack as night falls .
Speaker 1Yeah , it's plumbers . Plummer passes what they call it .
Speaker 3I'm going to go right up to the edge of the crack . I'm going to do yodeling yodeling , yodeling .
Speaker 1I love it . Oh my God , we're not going to be able to sleep tonight .
Speaker 3He's spending it to be yodeling . That's how I'm summoning him .
Speaker 2Perfect . Like 30 seconds later you hear a distant yodeling , yodeling .
Speaker 3Hey , it's 10 . The yodeling trolley's here .
Speaker 1We made it , we have arrived . He's still alive , somehow .
Speaker 2He gets there in about an hour .
Speaker 3We're sitting around the campfire roasting Weenies , waiting for Finn . We'll have one ready for him when he arrives .
Speaker 2Hey guys , I just assumed you were dead .
Speaker 3Well , on many occasions we almost were , but we've got great news We've got all your paperwork filled out and we're headed to Dunk right now . We figured we'd just check in and see how you was doing .
Speaker 2Oh well , that's wonderful news . I'm fine , we're actually already building the bridge . Gearguard never came back .
Speaker 3Yeah he's not a great guy and I wouldn't expect him to come back .
Speaker 1But the Yelgads are helping you right .
Speaker 2Yes .
Speaker 1How are they doing ?
Speaker 2They're under the deal .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 3That's good . It's good when things work out Well .
Speaker 2I mean we've hit some snags in the construction , but I guess by the time you get back , hopefully it'll be done . Wow , there have only been a few deaths so far . Oh my God .
Speaker 1Yeah well , every good bridge is built on the backs of a couple of dead workers . I guess I don't know how that works .
Speaker 3Yeah , that's true . Yeah , yelgads are all the deaths for them , just like getting into fights and killing each other .
Speaker 1There would be like a plank and they would just get into like a fist fight .
Speaker 3No , I mean , we follow every safety protocol known in the land of EAM , but the Yelgads just take their fist attacks very seriously .
Speaker 1Yeah , the Yelgads chalk it up to acceptable losses and because they have kept the number under five , they feel like it's actually a game somehow .
Speaker 3Yeah , yeah , they're tough people .
Speaker 1I say well , do you need anything from us while we're here ? Otherwise we're going to head west to Dunk .
Speaker 2We start searching through your tortoises like bags and stuff . Oh , look at these . Could use some of these materials .
Speaker 3Oh yeah , yes , yeah yeah , I mean .
Speaker 1I turn to Riley and I say I don't care , you can take them off our hands . Fb will be lighter .
Speaker 3It's not like we have a forge or anything .
Speaker 1No , not at all . I happily unload however many materials you want to give them , like 10 . So we had five .
Speaker 3Let's give him 10 materials and ask him if he can get some rations .
Speaker 1Yeah , yeah , a bad . It actually has a consistency of a nature's valley granola bar , so like when you open it like you know it just starts crumbling your hands .
Speaker 2It's like this big oh amazing .
Speaker 1They're like . They're like sausages . They're ready to go .
Speaker 3At first I'll be disgusted and then I'll be like , hey , you know , they're kind of cute .
Speaker 1Yeah , they squeak at you . You know the scratch on the head .
Speaker 2It's good .
Speaker 1Yeah , I say hey , you know , Sven , what do these turn into when they get big .
Speaker 2I don't know , slurp worms maybe . Oh , oh , yeesh We've had run-ins with slurp worms . I'm not a scientist .
Speaker 1I had no idea . You look like a man of science , Sven . Your yodeling is pitch perfect . I assumed it was a scientific formula for yodel .
Speaker 2Well , there is a science to yodeling . I believe it . I believe it . You're just a yodeling Sven .
Speaker 3These grubs will come in handy , I'm sure , Like put them on the tortoise .
Speaker 1Yeah , we now have more rations , I guess .
Speaker 3Oh , pattern say you're not going to want to eat these .
Speaker 1She does , she does .
Speaker 2Probably never wanted to eat anything more than those .
Speaker 1Yeah , you're right , that's her jam .
Speaker 3Oh , how right you are , and when we roll it to , it'll happen , yeah .
Speaker 1Well , I see , Sven , we're going to settle in for the night . Then we'll go get these paperwork .
Speaker 3Yeah , we'll be on our way .
Speaker 1Filed for you .
Speaker 2Good seeing you . Well , you want to play some hizah Like over here ? I got my decks , I mean .

Speaker 3Yeah , copper , here I start , I like get real intense Suddenly . I know I can win . I know I can win Galen .
Speaker 1I say we got two copper patches left and three silver or two silver , so don't blow it .

Speaker 2All right , I'm going to take the hizah . This is a game about , you know , guile trickery .
Speaker 1It's called .
Speaker 2Guile Trickery check .
Speaker 3Shunk . Oh yes , I'm going to put on my helm of lies and be like take the visor down . Oh , you're really serious about this . I'm very serious about my hizah . We go way back with hizah and my family . All right , I'm going to fan out my cards . See what I got .
Speaker 1Meanwhile , zona and Buck and I are trying to figure out the bear skin of trivia and asking each other random questions .
Speaker 2I forgot about that , what do you want to ask it ? So make a trickery check . I'm also . It'll be a roll off .
Speaker 3I got a three .
Speaker 1But it's just you luring him into a fall since the security . That's how this works .
Speaker 3Yeah , and it's going to bring out my gambling addiction .
Speaker 1That's why I hold the money and Riley gets the one shot .
Speaker 3He slaughtered me on the first hand .
Speaker 1Yeah , it's the best of three .
Speaker 2Don't worry about it , you know it's . Yeah , this is the first hand .
Speaker 3Yeah , one more hand , one more hand . I can do this Best two or three .
Speaker 2Game . Just one more game , yes .
Speaker 3Give me the money .
Speaker 1Aren't you still playing for that first bag of copper ? It's all .
Speaker 3Oh , is it three rounds for the copper ? Is that what it ?
Speaker 1is .
Speaker 3Yeah , best two out of three .
Speaker 1I like carefully guard the money because Riley's like salivating in the mouth .
Speaker 3And narrow my eyes .
Speaker 2Oh , come on . What can I ?
Speaker 1say oh my good Lord , Holy cats .
Speaker 2Yeah , it takes one of your pouches .
Speaker 3I like I'm sweating beads and like , give me your sword , anything , I got to get back in the game .
Speaker 1I say you know you got . You got plenty of stuff in your inventory . I take away Mad Merian's multiple map . Hide it from me . Yeah , I just hide it from you in the lucky rock sack and I say you got some weapons if you want . I don't know .
Speaker 2I don't want to cause a rift between you guys .
Speaker 1No , no , I say spend , don't worry , I'm used to this . I hide all the really good stuff , you know right , you're right , you're right , I shouldn't play anymore .
Speaker 3I shouldn't play anymore . I like pace around the fire . I should get some sleep . I should get some sleep .
Speaker 1Zona Rice-Tan Riley has a problem .
Speaker 2Take a metal check , Riley .
Speaker 3Oh no , serenity , now 12 .
Speaker 2Serenity . Now , jerry , you're able to stave off your gambling edition . Serenity now .
Speaker 3Serenity now .
Speaker 2Sven says all right , I'm gonna get some shut eye . I guess you guys will be off in the morning huh Indeed , until next time , do you , sven ? Yeah , it was good to see you yeah yeah , I love , I love Sven to death .
Speaker 1He's awesome .
Speaker 2You're giving him a big hug . Oh , okay .
Speaker 1Glad we're in business , Sven .
Speaker 3This is amazing how this dangerous encounter from our first quest has now become like an NPC that we're pals with , love it .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2So did you actually want to figure out this bear skin of trivia here ?
Speaker 1Yeah , how would I go about identifying the items ? Do we bring it to some guy named Deckard Kane or like ?
Speaker 2Deckard Kane , maybe you could go to a witch or a gnome or just someone smart , okay , or you could try to use it .
Speaker 1Yeah , I'll try to use it . How about that ? How , like , could I just ask it a question maybe ? Yeah , I'll ask it something ridiculous Like what are the origins of Huzzah ? And I shake it because that's how things work .
Speaker 2As you're doing that , you get the sense that the answer is already coming to you . Tell me the origins of Huzzah .
Speaker 1Say . Well , huzzah is actually an old shrimp card game that started out with carefully chiseled stones and Huzzinis Called Huzzinis .
Speaker 2Sorry they would take ?
Speaker 1yeah , they'd love it . They would carefully line the back sides of these Huzzinis with their own fur so as to hide , you know , the whatever was on it , and so they could stack nicely . So these fur covered cards would ultimately become the game of Huzzah .
Speaker 2Make a lore check .
Speaker 1Lore Wow , I'm really lory , oh , but not that time . Not that time I got like crazy bonuses and got hosed on the lore .
Speaker 3Hey Galen , I'm originally from Shremm and though I don't really know the origins of Huzzama myself , I'm pretty sure that's not it .
Speaker 2You are completely wrong .
Speaker 1I say right , am I being racist ?
Speaker 3No , no , not at all . That's nothing to do with racism .
Speaker 1It just felt like you know the way you looked at those Huzzah cards . I felt like it was tribal in nature , yeah that was the addiction .
Speaker 3That was the addiction I don't like to lose and I really thought I could take him .
Speaker 1I mean yeah , yeah , yeah , I clutch the money a little closer to myself .
Speaker 2Galen , you're getting the sense that this bear skin of trivia does not really apply to just like anything .
Speaker 1Like it'll any type of lore . Yeah , not anything . Yeah , okay , but it is lore related , yeah .
Speaker 2And it like it makes you like , want to .
Speaker 1Makes you want to like describe what the lore is . Yeah , I get it , I totally get it this is going to be a very exciting tool .
Speaker 3I love it .
Speaker 1Yeah , we tuck in for the night , I think , huh .
Speaker 2Cool , cool , cool . That's what's going to .
Speaker 3Night Zona Night Riley .
Speaker 1Night Club guy . Yeah , because we're around the campfire , I kind of turn to Riley and I say hey , Riley , what do you think happened to Gale ?
Speaker 3That's a good question , I think maybe .
Speaker 1I got better .
Speaker 3I was like right about to pull something out of my butt . I have no idea . Well , you know she's hanging out in Marshgate doing her thing . You know it's not real , but she wasn't really built for the road .
Speaker 2I don't think I'm going to say there was like a , like a blow up .
Speaker 1I think . I think what I want to say is that Zona Mbaka is the only one who knows , and somewhere in his text he wrote she left me for Iki Lundi , dr Ikebaud Lundi . She heard doctor and she's just like to Qing baby Wow .
That story shall also be told .
Speaker 1Tune in next time .
Speaker 3It'll be our next characters in the next yeah .
Speaker 2What if Riley and Gail had a confrontation and Riley is just like , oh yeah , she just , you know , left , left in Marshgate , you know , wow , here it cuts like a wooden plank outside of a spoon .
Speaker 3I'm saying like if you break my best friend's heart , you better watch it , sister , because I'm not going to put up with you . High tail it out of here . He's not into you .
Speaker 1I'm sure she's fun . Yeah , the way . And then in Galen's mind he's getting concerned , because all he can picture is Riley putting the last brick into a hole in the wall and both cranes are behind it . Thanks .
Speaker 3It'll be over soon . It'll be over soon To the Edgar Allen . You'll light it . You'll never hurt him again . That's too funny .
Speaker 2Yeah , totally told her off in town .
Speaker 3He was like in a break his heart and she didn't really care about him and she was blah , blah , blah and that's we're out of here .
Speaker 2Her . Her falling for the Ichabod dude was just her last ditch effort to try to lure you . Try to like , get you jealous , galen .
Speaker 1It genuinely didn't work . She was hang , literally hanging off of him in different positions the entire lunch . Yeah , just forgot she was there .
Speaker 2All right awesome .
Speaker 1We sleep , we sleep in a relationship and we get an XP .
Speaker 3Experience points have been generated . Yeah , no , hey .
Speaker 2You'll have to eat your Russians , by the way .
Speaker 1Hmm , that's right . Well , you know what ? I'm going to grill up this grub and see how it works out for me , because I don't like the idea of trying to keep something alive on the road . Is it a D8 ration or is it a D6 ration ?
Speaker 2D6 .
Speaker 1It's pretty good . It's pretty good Now , after you spit , roast it for a while , it actually gets firm throughout . It's a lot like an act of a tube stick .
Speaker 3Yeah , I actually put mine in a bun and eat it like a .
Speaker 2They just tube stick it smells so bad . Yeah , you lost some courage , right ?
Speaker 1No , I ended up , it was just , it was only the temporary From the . Yeah , it's broken . So amazing , Fine , yeah , we've turned the yeah .

Speaker 2Um , all right , you kind of you go down these stairs into this tomb and when you turn the corner , you see , you see a ghost , um , who is kind of mock , eating Like oh , it's like slimer , but it's very dainty and eating , using its coffin as a dining table . Um it , it turns and addresses you , but doesn't like speak or anything . It just points to a sign that's written in blood .
Speaker 1I bowed courteously . What does it say ? And I read the sign .
Speaker 2The sign says you're welcome to pay your respects , but take anything and you'll be a ghost yourself . And that's when you notice there's treasure everywhere , just piles of gold and silver , oh man , oh man Um .
Speaker 3I uh , it's a ghost man Like yeah , how do we deal with a ghost ?
Speaker 1I know , I know what I want to do . Uh , and it doesn't involve stealing . I actually just want to pay my respects and leave some copper and add to the hoard .
Speaker 3Good idea , let's let's , let's do it .
Speaker 1I leave a pouch of copper . I bow courteously and pay my respects to the ghost .

Speaker 1You simply present information , precisely . We do with it what we will .
Speaker 2And then I write down what you do .
Speaker 3Yeah , and you judge us silently . He's trying to goose the narrative . This guy is trying to send us into perilous situations . We can get a best seller on his hands .
Speaker 1He's like these guys have too many temporary points on their hands .
Speaker 3I'm writing a novel . Your misfortune will be my fortune .

Speaker 1I mean , why not , is it ? Is it the end of the night , though , ben , or is it ? Uh , it is the end of the night . Yeah , we'll . We'll settle in Cause , cause Galen's had a burning question he wants
to ask Riley Uh . When we , when we settle in , galen thanks back to the uh , the way that Riley looked when he was . She was gambling with spending the oil and troll . And and Galen says Riley , you know , I don't remember you gambling when we were kids . When , when did you have get this horrible addiction ?
Speaker 3Oh , I gambled all the time when we were kids , just not with you , Cause I knew that you'd . You know , rain on my parade . I was a champion Pog player . At a slammer I won a million times in a row sorry is Pogs cannon we are now .
Speaker 1I love it . I say , yeah , riley . I just , I guess I never had you pegged for that , but I guess you're also trying to protect me by not doing it around me .
Speaker 3I think it's . I've got kind of a thrill that I get from gambling .
Speaker 1I've gotten addiction to taking chances yeah , I mean it reminds me of the same way you looked at welder , that felmog outpatter . You know , we just . You see things that are a bad idea and you just want to take a chance well , I mean , don't get me wrong , he's a handsome guy , but he's kind of a jerk , you're not a handsome , I mean , if you read that really like angular chin he's got , like you know oh yeah , but then he's got that five head to .
Speaker 1You know , I don't understand , I don't see the attraction . Yeah , his hairline has receded .
Speaker 3He's like your girls armies few gentlemen that can pull off bald .
Speaker 2I agree with gaylin I I I've never seen this man , but I detest chins . Wow he tests chins .
Speaker 1Today we learned that , zoning him back , he tests chins . I say well , you know . I like to myself as they're talking and just like touching my own chin , yeah yeah , I just shake my head and I I nod in a sense of the zone . I say , yeah , zone . I know it's me too much .

Speaker 2I mean , all taskmasters are pretty much jerks okay , nice , I carry on with your story . Yeah well , you know there's a rumor that you know sub subterranean pits and layers was behind . You know the destruction of this mine over here was big talk of the town for a while . Wow , you know , decades ago wait , talk of what town .
Speaker 1Is there a town near here ?
Speaker 3it's just next question oh , we like look out into the wilderness just like black joy slant . I say that's pretty terrible .
Speaker 1Is that why you quit SPL ?
Speaker 2no way I quit because they pay nothing hmm , hmm , this .
Speaker 1They keep telling us they're gonna pay us an exposure . I don't know what that means .
Speaker 3I'll like elbow Gailen be like looks like we're not gonna get that triple yeah , I guess three times , nothing is still nothing yep , yeah , I don't know what to tell you so that's a that's .
Speaker 1That's good info , though we still might check it out you guys like a dungeon he is , or ?
Speaker 3something we're on a . We're on our way to be folk heroes actually actually I'm a night , aaron , and oh , big bad night , oh yeah no , no , no , just Aaron , you know .
Speaker 2I don't know what that means . None of us people the knife .
Speaker 3I don't know what that means . I'm his partner . We're on an enterprise to hunt down the Sarpathie . If you've encountered them before , they're a nasty punch oh yeah , sarpathie , that's .
Speaker 2That's also bad news , like you guys are getting into just bad , bad business . There's some been Sarpathie sightings with SPL just eating people and whatnot oh my goodness yeah , they're pathing you just didn't work in a mine . Just you know picking your acts , as they say , and yank you , plucked into the darkness some guy with two snake arms comes up behind you and just grabs you . Fred over in sector seven .
Speaker 3Gone , never seen again our whole village was attacked by Sarpathie when we were growing up took everything wow , but not our freedom and that's why we're on the road , that's why we're gonna check out hell growth . Mine , we're gonna make a difference in this , in this used to be forest , yeah well , listen , you know , I feel kind of bad .
Speaker 2I feel like you guys are , like you know , doing , you know , the work of . I don't believe in a God but kind of like gnomes work .
Speaker 1You know gnomes . Gnomes do a lot of good stuff . We're just trying to all the examples by them .
Speaker 2Not a fan of gnomes , okay , okay yeah , good to good shoes .
Speaker 3I don't like bones . Yeah , they got a long history yeah , I say yeah , that's .
Speaker 1That's kind of what we're doing , you know . We're just trying to make this place a better place to adventure it , a better sandbox , if you will .
Speaker 3Yeah the entire time we're having this conversation , galen and I are like , absentmindedly packing all of our stuff . I folded the letter to the mother , put it into my thing , getting on the tortoise rains in hand wait all right well we'll take your fire .
Speaker 2You know we were settled in for the night this yeah , yeah , go on and go to hell growth mine in the middle of the night .
Speaker 1Yeah , it's a great idea no , yeah , it's not the middle of the afternoon . We just see Riley right off into the dark because back eventually , it's dark out there a sorry guys to you guys like a .
Speaker 2Thing .
Speaker 1I say no , are you interested ?
Speaker 2and I put my hand on my sword yeah , you know , I have never been with boggles before , but you're cute so yeah , oh , I meant I thought you were interested in the shrimp or that all right hold on .
Speaker 1Galen doesn't know how to do .
Speaker 3It doesn't know to respond any of this maybe just look at each other and then look at the boggles and are like these boggles are crazy , yeah boggles , be boggles baby two of them already fallen asleep yeah , we follow suit shortly after with our hands on our swords .
Speaker 2Yeah , all right , the morning comes . Morning has broken .
Speaker 1We picked six we exchange goodbyes with our boggle camp mates and head on our way yeah , I just want to put this out there again .
Speaker 2If you want to give us that note , we'll do a you a favor tell you oh , we'll meet you halfway .
Speaker 3Here's another note . Didn't want to talk about this one , but if you are heading to fleabag county , this , this is something you might want to pursue between friends , and then , like , let me give you the great coordinates , like I'll just like write some nonsense about . You know , there's a whatever treasure hoard at whatever like 3911 , you know , yeah , roll it up and hand it to them like some trickery . You're like , we'll catch you later , all right hopefully we don't ruin a good relationship you want to roll trickery trickery ? Yes , I will .
Speaker 1I'm gonna inspire Riley's check . Yeah , yeah , like I just like , I just feed into it and reaffirm everything she's writing down like yeah , yeah , yeah , now this will be just be good . So they roll . Inspire first , I do it , you have a plus so you know what I'll say .
Speaker 3Head down to the crack , this guy named Sven the yodeling troll he's always hiring .
Speaker 1You'll probably be able to find a great gig with him .
Speaker 3Great guy , way better than SPL seven .
Speaker 2You have a plus two from me , nine , yes oh , all right , just got to mention your names , right ? Yep , yeah , I had one .
Speaker 3Mitch and Donna , riley and Galen . Yeah , mention our names , looks like we got ourselves a job .
Speaker 2Boys cut to them like getting punched by a yell check , just like hauling giant beams on their backs yeah , best work we ever had all right where you headed to the mine yeah , I'm curious about the mine .
Speaker 3Now I can't help it .
Speaker 1I want to explore it , is it my role ?
Speaker 2yes , I think yeah , yeah , okay , I moved us already to tan okay , awesome , you make it there without incident and you actually , before you get close to the mine , like right to the mine , you see a long bearded just like shabby looking goblin , kind of huddled against some rocks co-beards men he's . It looks like he's got a little tent set up the next now like he lives there okay , yeah , we'll stop in .
Speaker 1Say a good morrow , elder goblin whoa , whoa you .
Speaker 2You're an elder goblin okay , yeah , yeah , they called . They caused me a old noggin , I guess old noggin well , good day to your old noggin . What , what why are you ? Why are you here ? I can't quite remember . You see , got hit on the head hence the noggin .
Speaker 1What that makes sense . Yeah , see where we're helping you out already .
You wouldn't have by any chance have been involved in that calamity .
Speaker 2In the hell growth oh it was Lord Orphan , he did it . Lord Orphan destroyed it , killed it . There's one thing I know , that's , that's what I know .
Speaker 3I know , or Kong destroyed the mine is Lord , lord Orphan . He's the founder of SPL , isn't he that ?
Speaker 2he is . Why would he do ? You must be taken down , you . You got to go in there .
Speaker 1You gotta find a proof does he hand us like 500 sheets of paper with the insane scribblings and old ?
Speaker 2man you see those all strewn about his , his makeshift .
Speaker 1Some of them have been used to wipe exactly his glasses , his glasses , oh yeah , yeah yeah , what are we savages ?
Speaker 3so he , he thinks Lord Orphan is the one that destroyed the mine is . Can we like take a look at his hovel and see if there's like crazy conspiracy theories yeah , like any actual proof .
Speaker 2Any like look for ledgers or anything that like make it look like he's legit or make a lore check , a disadvantage , because he's used these things to wipe his glasses they're just smutty , smutty .
Speaker 1Oh , those are both great rules , man .
Speaker 3Yeah , 10 .
Speaker 2So he has like in his possession official paperwork from the Asimov Corporation and they're like all stamped and proved and signed by various people which is probably one of them .
Speaker 1I'm not familiar with the Asimov Corporation .
Speaker 2Well , with your lore check , james , you find out . The Asimov Corporation was actually one of the big players many years ago .
Speaker 1Oh , before okay .
Speaker 2And they actually had a city in Dunk just like built around their corporation and they had actually Fire Damp used to be owned by Asimov Corporation . Wow .
Speaker 1Wow , it's like a whole part of Land of Ema . I didn't know about .
Speaker 2And in the past and a long time ago , they were sabotaged .
Speaker 3By SPL Wow .
Speaker 2There's no like hard proof of this . But their organization just came crumbling down real quick .
Speaker 1I say , is there anyone from the Asimov Corp still around the what ?
Speaker 3The Asimov Corporation .
Speaker 2Oh , I remember that .
Speaker 1His shirt just like as an old but ragged Asimov .
Speaker 3He just like literally says he's like got a name tag .
Speaker 1Yeah , my name is Biff .
Speaker 2There's no name tag , but he does have the garb .
Speaker 3Yeah , Interesting . Can I point it as garb and be like ? Did you used to work for Asimov Corporation ?
Speaker 2Oh .
Speaker 1I guess I did . He immediately starts stripping it all off because he wants to look at it . Now we just have like a naked old goblin standing in front of us , but everything's covered by the beard , so it's still PG-13 .
Speaker 2He's skin and bones yeah , not good eating , no , no .
Speaker 1I mean , he has not been eating well , that's what I'm trying to say .
Speaker 3I glance at Gail and like what are you ?
Speaker 2He's a cannibal .
Speaker 1I turn his only and bug . I say is it only cannibalism if he was a bog roll ?
Speaker 3He's right about that technically .
Speaker 1Cross it out . Cross it out . Strike that from the record . Irrata yeah , he is just a weird guy who would eat anything .
Speaker 3So I mean , but SPL kind of runs the show . Now what would proving that Orphan did this do anyway ?
Speaker 2What I wanted to do was pay for his crimes . Okay , it's Lord Orphan still alive , don't you got a sense of justice ?
Speaker 1Of course , Of course Gailan like , immediately stands up so tall he hits his head on the support of the tent and says justice , I am a justice , you know .
Speaker 3The only thing is we're going to need some evidence .
Speaker 2That's why you got to go in there . That's why you got to find it . It's in there , I know it . There's got to be something .
Speaker 1All right , here's our plan . We go in , we get the evidence , we bring it to Dunk to the old remnants of the Azimuth Corp oh , not about it . And then we get profit . Okay , yeah , justice , not profit , justice .
Speaker 3Let's do it , let's investigate it . We both peer into the cave and just like here and she's wailing , and then it's like all right .
Speaker 1It's going to be one of those we both like . We both before the scene like wipes . We both look at each other and say six key myth accord . Yeah , all right .
Speaker 3Six key myth accord . I'm going to ask Dagen like hey , like we heard this , mine is haunted . What do you know about that ?
Speaker 2Oh yeah , you can hear them picking away . You can hear their cries . Every night I fall asleep to it .
Speaker 3And the evidence is down there . You say it's .
Speaker 2Uh , I've tried going down myself , but I'm so weak .
Speaker 1What if we escorted you ?
Speaker 3I don't know . I think we got to get this guy sandwich and then not have to be in the way .
Speaker 1Yeah , that's true . He's the last proof besides the proof we're going to get .
Speaker 3I'm going to use cooking and like , cook up a barbecue with the last of my rations Amazing and feed us all to give him some courage . And then let's uh , I'm full , I don't need to roll the courage , just like I want to use the cooking to feed this guy . Um , I guess like we're going to go down there , probably next adventure .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2Awesome , all right .
Speaker 1All right , dungeon crawl out of one and into the other man .
Speaker 3Here we go , we'll see .
Speaker 1We'll see . It's either going to be a random or it'll be something else .
Speaker 3I'm excited . I can't wait yeah .
Speaker 1Well , this was . This was a remarkably combat free adventure .
Speaker 3Yeah , this was like I mean we did . Oh no , no , there was like one he fought a mom , he fought a mom , but it was , yeah , worked out . Yeah , it's worked out . This was like a good travel session , kind of a relief after the butt kicking , we took the last couple times yeah . We're a little . We're like a third of the way . There too , we did . Even though we stopped in the crack , we made some headway .
Speaker 3We got tickets to Crogland and we have tickets to Crogland , so we can celebrate once . Once Sven's bridge gets installed , we'll celebrate by going to Crogland .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 3All right Awesome . Well , next time we'll have the dungeon crawl and yeah , we will continue our journey to the town of Dunk all the way down the drippy downs which you can't even see because it's so far away it's like the pan .
Speaker 2This troll ridge here is dangerous .
Speaker 1It's going to be interesting .
Speaker 2Yeah .
Speaker 1It could always go south and go up the river . This is also dangerous .
Speaker 2This is very dangerous here .
Speaker 1Yeah , I'm not , I'm not liking the look of the serpent's tower . Yeah Well , we're going to definitely have to destroy that .
Speaker 2Not on the map yet , but this is the high wilds .
Speaker 1Oh , it's like level 46 creatures .
Speaker 3Yeah , it has a lot of grinding .
Speaker 1Got to kill a lot of boars and get their intestine .
Speaker 3We need a ton of hops . We're going to grind there .
Speaker 2Got to get that hops .
Speaker 1Got to turn it into a brewmaster rigatoni at Dunk and brewmaster rigatoni , and then we're going to get a barrel that we got to use in another quest . Three other barrels of alchemyl Awesome . So do you want to snuck out XP real quick ?
Speaker 3Yeah , and then I say we can spend some XP before we begin the dungeon crawl into Hell . Growth Mine next week .
Speaker 1I love it . It's great .
Speaker 3I'm totally going to use my XP to level too . I'm going to level five .
Speaker 1I keep meaning to do that as well .
Speaker 3Okay , did we solve a quester objective or complete a quester objective . We did not .
Speaker 1The check done was Sven . Yeah , we had a little side quest with the kazoo guy yeah , I mean you resolved that .
Speaker 2Yeah , that counts . Yeah , one XP .
Speaker 1I would say that we solved the problem of Gale in a particularly creative way by retconning her disappearance .
Speaker 2I was actually going to count that as like role playing XP . I think , okay , that's cool .
Speaker 1Yeah , that's good .
Speaker 2I like it . Was there any other instance of creative problem solving ?
Speaker 1I don't think , so I can't think of anything .
Speaker 2Yeah , like everything today was just succeeded . Yeah .
Speaker 1It had a couple of bad ones in the beginning , but it didn't spiral out of control .
Speaker 2Explore a new location or point of interest .
Speaker 1Definitely .
Speaker 3We discovered two discoveries . We found that cave .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 3Did it just count Sure . Sure , now we should mark the map for where we discovered it , so we could go back for role playing purposes later .
Speaker 1Okay , that was probably 2316 .
Speaker 3Yeah , I was just about to say .
Speaker 1Yeah , so 23.16 was the haunted cave with the treasure horde and the ghost dining on his coffin .
Speaker 3The most treasure we've ever seen .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2Well , you did find a mythic horde that's got a rank up there .
Speaker 3Yeah , that's true .
Speaker 2That's true . Okay , encounter a new creature .
Speaker 1Have we fought a monk before ? And oh , I haven't encountered a boggle .
Speaker 2That's surprising .
Speaker 3I mean .
Speaker 1I feel like we've never encountered a boggle .
Speaker 2Yeah , I mean , I don't know if you encountered a ghost either .
Speaker 3Right .
Speaker 2So 3XP significant encounter within an NPC .
Speaker 1And old noggin . Oh yeah , I think this is a pretty like . It's like he's added a quest to our quest log .
Speaker 3Yeah , a whole dungeon crawl .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2Um , relationship XP . I thought I think you should write a little sentence about that , james , about gambling , the gambling , and also Gale . Like how would Galen feel about that if you ever found out that that's how it went down ? Resentful yeah .
Speaker 1Yeah , I'm going to put that . Galen believes that Gale has fallen madly in love with Dr Kabad-Lundi and he's he hopes , he wishes the two of them well .
Speaker 2Is there any part of Galen that's liked Gale ?
Speaker 1I think in the moment . Except she got very , very clingy very , very quickly and like , while there was fear attached to it , there was like more psychosis than fear , I think . I think Galen could feel that and he instinctively knew to bounce that thing wrong with her , except for the crazy bits you know . And then I made another note saying that Riley definitely has a gambling problem and likes to take chances on bad things . I can't believe she used to hide it from me .
Speaker 2So I'm going to say that's 2 XP baby , oh heck it .
Speaker 1Yeah , Look at that . Building on some stuff , I didn't no individual or no ideal their flaws from my end .
Speaker 3Yeah , same .
Speaker 2So that's six total .
Speaker 1Kind of miss clutch .
Speaker 3That's funny .
Speaker 1Miss having that guy around , miss talking with him .
Speaker 3There will be other NGC's , george , I promise .
Speaker 1You guys can make your own , like , yeah , we can make yours , baby , a little bit . That's six XP , that's a lot of XP .
Speaker 3It is .
Speaker 1You know , it's nice that we were actually able to have some time and do some campfire stuff , because it doesn't always present itself .
Speaker 2Right , I think that was a trade off , like less things actually happening but like more role playing and stuff .
Speaker 1Yeah , I like that about this system is that you know you're you're not necessarily rewarded for like killing a ton of monsters . You can have an equally , if not more , like profitable XP journey with just exploring party dynamics .
Speaker 3All right , I think it's all about the XP profits .
Speaker 1baby , I am the munchkin of the group .
Speaker 3I like . I like turning the breath in between the stress because , like I , felt like we were like taxed and stressed , like two quests in a row where we barely survived everything . It's nice to have like a continued journey where we're not in mortal peril , but can still advance our characters .
Speaker 1They took my net , man that's true , we do it .
Speaker 2Eats at you every day .
Speaker 1Well , we know where it is that , like hurts more than anything . Yeah , we can always go back and get it .
Speaker 2Yeah , good luck trying to find the same trap . Yeah .
Speaker 3That's how we die , George . It's like getting lost . I hate that .
Speaker 2I'm trying to generate a dungeon . Imagine like what are the odds of trying to roll the exact same roll ?
Speaker 3We're never going to find it .
Speaker 1That net is going to be easier to find that net randomly in another treasure hoard . You never know , it might happen . Well sweet , all right , this was a good quest .
