Um have you heard any rumors about Tricky Toes hanging out in the lost willows?

SPEAKER_12I mean, he points to the lost willows and he says, You're gonna have a tough time getting around in there. It's easy to get lost, hence the name.
SPEAKER_08In the willows. Oh, I just thought that they were willows that people had lost and they could never find the willows again. Like individual willows, like they carved their initials into a tree. Yeah.
SPEAKER_12Word of advice or a warning, or rather, there's also uh a black Drake that flies around.
SPEAKER_08Oh that's great.

SPEAKER_04Yeah, wow.
SPEAKER_08I like to believe that they're all the uh Dwergs are just look like Mel Brooks.
SPEAKER_12Do you uh you got any leads on some you know, little outposts of villages to steal from?
SPEAKER_09This would be an opportunity to screw with a tricky toes, but I don't know what their activities in the Quagmash.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, I don't know anywhere to really send them. Nor do I want to. Oh, yeah, it's a great place in the Gator Maze, and they all get um we could tell them about the um, wasn't there where do we rescue? There's like a sinking thing we pulled some dude out of. Oh, right.
SPEAKER_09Um and he was all squirrely about it because it was treasure.
SPEAKER_08We save saved Brian the Goblin from a sinking door, yeah.
SPEAKER_09But Brian the Goblin had some treasure, right? So there was treasure down there.
SPEAKER_08We would tell him about Brian Jones. You know Brian? Uh we saved Brian. We don't really know him.
SPEAKER_01Oh, Brian when I take my head on that guy. Well he went that way.
SPEAKER_09I I was I should I'm gonna I'm gonna snitch on him, be like he like went exactly this way, hanging around by an old ruin. Ruin.
SPEAKER_05All right, boys. Gear up.
SPEAKER_08We wait for them to leave.
SPEAKER_09Sorry, Brian. My flaws are ruthless.
SPEAKER_08There's one viewer out there named Brian who's wondering why you're apologizing to him. He stole your loot. Um, that is a terrible thing. I'm trying to find my flaws. Oh, interesting. Okay. Uh, can we wait for them to leave, Ben? Like, do they just leave? They gear up and get out of there. They go through their fridge. I was gonna see if they had a horde laying around.
SPEAKER_12Uh I mean, then they're they're not that dumb to just like allow us to be the new Brian. Unless you want to trick them somehow.
SPEAKER_08Trick them, toe gang. Um can't do I have anything to do? No, no, no. I don't want to waste all my abilities. I don't, yeah, I don't want to.
SPEAKER_09Yeah, we're about to go to dangerous places.
SPEAKER_08I don't want to be plum out of skills. Plum out of skills. All right, so uh we'll wish them well with their new conquest of you know, manhunting Brian, and we'll skedaddle.
SPEAKER_12Okay. Uh I think I think like uh there's not much of the day left.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, we we could just camp nearby. Yeah. I do it. I camp nearby. Are we able to move one hex in camp or just like that's it? I just don't want to be like prey to them in the morning or something.
SPEAKER_12Uh they're they're friends with you.
SPEAKER_08Okay, cool.
SPEAKER_12Until they find out what we've taken. They'll even they'll even give you some of their uh uh ration for both of you.
SPEAKER_00Oh, it's so rational.
SPEAKER_08Thank you. Thank you. Very nice, very nice. What is this? Dried gator? This is delicious. A little gamey though. A little gata jerky, you know what I mean? Got some jerked gata. How many rations do we get, Ben? One each. One each. Look at that. It's Christmas Day, it's hearthlight.
SPEAKER_10Hearthlight.
SPEAKER_08Um, I love it. So uh we'll we'll bid them farewell. We'll go set up camp like 100 yards to the south, just the edge of a hex. Like right on the line. We see a line in the ground. In the Landabi, there are actually massive black lines of the ground that are hexes.
SPEAKER_12Yes, the gods laid down the hexes.
SPEAKER_08And thus the gods laid down the hexes and labeled them 33.26, 33.27, 33.28 with giant paint brushes. Yeah.
SPEAKER_12Alright, guys. So you uh you set up camp in the deadly gator maze. Uh what what happens? It's just you two.
SPEAKER_08I turn to Hooch. I say Hooch is kind of lonely without everyone else. I guess. I mean, it's kind of nice. Yeah. I mean, I just wonder what happened to Bello and Chini.
SPEAKER_12You hear uh horrible sounds of roaring gators.
SPEAKER_08No, that's probably what happened to me.
SPEAKER_12Off in the distance.
SPEAKER_08Yeah. Well, we gotta go through that tomorrow. That's fine. That's fine. And everything always turns out okay. Maybe I can fly above it, but then you have to figure out how to get through. Uh yeah, that's uh that's that's about uh that's about right.
SPEAKER_02See, who what are we doing out here, man? I was just asking myself the same thing.
SPEAKER_01I mean, we could just leave Bogtown forever and leave all these troubles behind us, but uh can't bail on the possibility that my mom's out there somewhere.
SPEAKER_09No, no, of course not. And uh I don't want other uh other street rats to grow up like I did under the heel of the turkey toes or any gang.
SPEAKER_08So you're you're what you're gonna adopt them all? No, no, I'm gonna train them how to be effective pickpockets and work for themselves. Yeah, how is that not just making a new gang?
SPEAKER_02Well, they'll be working for themselves. It won't be any part of an affiliation.
SPEAKER_01Worst of it, they won't be uh, you know, killing each other like the tricky toes and the offshoots of the tricky toes and the red boots and the soot fingers and the knuckle bones, you name it.
I mean, all those all those all those gangs you named, I worry that they're just gonna gobble up all the little guys you make, the independent contractors. You don't you think casualties of it all?
SPEAKER_01Maybe you're right. Maybe we should uh open up our own restaurant chain. Nah, I'm just kidding around, I wouldn't want to do that.
SPEAKER_08Um if you had to open up a restaurant chain, what what would your specialty be? Restaurant chains are lame.
SPEAKER_01I wouldn't want to do that, but if I did, maybe like a shrimp hut. Shrimp hut, what's a shrimp? It's like a sea bug.
SPEAKER_09It's delicious. Why would you eat bugs? It's like a lobster cockroach.
SPEAKER_01Lobster cockroach. Yeah, that sounds terrible. Put those on some Texas toast and you got to sell the sandwich. Texas.
SPEAKER_08That like actually came out of me. I didn't even mean to.
SPEAKER_05Texas toast, a little bit of garlic, and uh bam.
SPEAKER_08The only word I understood there was garlic. Well, there'll be garlic there, and they got the garlic from Gilroy down here, you know? It's really good garlic. Best moral.
SPEAKER_09That'll be the next sandbox.
SPEAKER_08Gilroy. Gilroy. Oh my god. Um Gilroy and Centralia. I would love to play in it. Yeah, I would love the smell of playing in Gilroy sandbox. Um Ben, I saw you rolling. Yeah.
SPEAKER_10He's rolling dread against Segway for our role-playing. Yeah.
SPEAKER_12No, I mean that the night goes out, uh goes along without incident. Uhsky, roll up your rations, heal up for the next day.
SPEAKER_08Oh, yeah. Hmm. Should do that. Is Ben froze? Oh, he's back. Okay. He froze for just a second, but I think he's good. I do not use all of my ration. Nor do I. That's great. I I look down half expecting a uh chicken with a lizard fused on its back to eat the rest of my rations, and then I snap out of my past life experience.
SPEAKER_12Now, James, I recall that you like almost died last time, so I'm not sure what your courage is at, but uh yeah, I'm not either.
SPEAKER_09I think I'm at two.
SPEAKER_08I think I'm at two, but maybe someone can confirm or deny. I mean, scrolling up, it looks like it went. Yeah, two is fine. I don't know where mine is roll d6. Lacka D6. Oof, that'll do it.
SPEAKER_12A nice whoppin' one courage for a night of rest in the gate of maze.
SPEAKER_07Solid uh three out of twelve for going into the gate of maze. No idea how much what could happen.
SPEAKER_12Yeah, so uh brand new day of travel. Got the nice uh peaty smell, wafting uh the nostrils as you scorch into the gator mage. Gator Gator Mage.
SPEAKER_08The Gator Mage. That'd be the most terrifying thing. Yeah, he's the king of the Gator Maize, the Gator Mage. He has reptilian and amphibious uh Vanguard and spells a land of Eeme.
SPEAKER_09Uh George, make a note of this because I'm already understanding like what your quest will be.
SPEAKER_08Gaze of the Gator Mage. The Gaze of the Gator. I we I can picture the cover art for it right now.
SPEAKER_12Um, so you guys get into a place that looks like uh the water turns like like a dark red.
SPEAKER_10Ooh. Like like ew.
SPEAKER_01Like the last guy that jumped in got mulched by gators.
SPEAKER_12I mean, it looks like that, but that's impossible, right? Like the whole area can't just be tinged with red.
SPEAKER_06Interesting.

SPEAKER_12Um, okay. Okay. You approach a thick grove of trees.
SPEAKER_08Uh GM clarification is that a thick with two C's or a CK? I refuse to answer that. Just curvaceous trunks, man.
SPEAKER_12Um, and you you see a creature that you've never gazed upon before, and it's like uh at first you're not even sure that it is a creature, but you can soon see that it's snoring and uh like this hill of trees is like you know, undulating with each breath.
SPEAKER_10Hooch, hooch, look, it's XP.
SPEAKER_12Wow. Uh chipmunks scurry over its back, and birds are tweeting. Um and you see that uh yeah, this looks like a nice comfortable place. It's like it snores kind of lulling you into a uh feeling it's like rhythmic around the sea, you know.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, say hooch. I mean, we've already traveled two legs. You want to just call it put up our feet for a little bit and have a hexa hunting and fishing? I'm down for this, sleep for the night. Yeah, say uh what this is this is like a you can make a lore check. Yeah, what kind of creature is this? A Silverman lorry check. Uh I don't think it's a creature. I think it's just the quag mash. Alright, it's not a good check, it's probably like a one, if not a three. I didn't know I was Silori.
SPEAKER_12Yeah, I don't I don't know what that means. You uh you think it's I just think yeah, a fairy is just part of the it's a fair big you're like really sure that this is a fairy.
SPEAKER_08All right. This is what fairies look like. Uh they're big. Okay. Uh trees. Uh I mean, any minute now it's gonna start flying. Just wait. Can we like walk on it? We are walking on it. Oh, we're on it already. Oh, the whole hex is this thing. I don't know if that's true.
SPEAKER_12No, I know you're not you're not like it's unclear if you're walking on it currently, but there's you could see that there's like a bigger mound in front of you.
SPEAKER_08Can we forage on it? Yeah, I like it.
SPEAKER_12Uh yeah, you will still still take the uh follow the same appropriate dread.
SPEAKER_08Oh, okay. Uh we're both gonna forage, yeah. Uh I should we forage separately and risk double unwanted attention, or should I just assist you? I think we should risk a double unwanted attention. Is that how it works, Ben? I feel like that should be how it works.
SPEAKER_12Yeah, and you're already already have one.
SPEAKER_08We may triple it. Yeah, it's just trip triple down, triple down. That is a six. That is unwanted attention. Oh, double down. Double down. I mean, I got a four, so I think four to six. Now it's triple down. Is that triple and wanted attention?
SPEAKER_12It is, and uh I'm so excited.
SPEAKER_09I'm so excited. I choose not to use a quest point because this is unprecedented.
SPEAKER_12Actually, sorry. Um yeah uh James, your earlier check, I think like three to five is just you get nothing. There's there's no unwanted attention. Do not oh so now uh now you have one one unwanted detention, but you also get a resource of your choice. What what were you looking for?
SPEAKER_08I I like that, that's cool. Uh I always forgot all about that for plants.

SPEAKER_08Sometimes Ben is just exasperated with the levels of our stupidity. I succeed. I did I just roll a four? I did roll a four. I am not that nimble. Can I start flying though, Ben?
SPEAKER_12Uh, it doesn't matter because uh this big arm just rises out from the dirt. Oh, there's like branches all over it and it slaps you.
SPEAKER_08Just across the face.
SPEAKER_12It's like so large that you just get swept up in it.
SPEAKER_08Like it's swatting a fly or something.
SPEAKER_12Getting hit by a tree.
SPEAKER_08Yeah.
SPEAKER_12You take 10 dread.
SPEAKER_08I'm not unconscious.

SPEAKER_05Uh usually I'll meet you halfway guy, but uh that's this that's that's no cave. Wow.
SPEAKER_08Um I um yeah, dude. Let's uh there's no way to communicate with it, I think. It seems like it's just sleeping. That's what we should have done instead of lighting a fire on top of it.

SPEAKER_12Yeah, actually, you guys are completely safe sleeping here. Um not I'm not gonna roll a wandering intrude or anything.

SPEAKER_08Yes. Twenty-six gators come out of the maze.
SPEAKER_02Twenty-six gators come out of the maze. Twenty-six gators in the maze.
SPEAKER_01Take one gang, pass it around, twenty gators in the maze.
SPEAKER_12You see someone in like like oversized chunky armor thrashing around in a black lake. And like the water's like thrashing. It looks like you know who's ever in there is having a lot of trouble.
SPEAKER_02Ahoy there. Are you in need?
SPEAKER_12He can't even hear you. It's like thrashing and you know the dinner has huge water on. I mean, huge helmet on.
SPEAKER_08That's uh uh I'm gonna swashbuckle. Oh sorry, Ben, the water he's standing in, what does it look like? Is it is it like attacking him? Is it deep?
SPEAKER_12It looks like it could be pretty deep. It's black, so you can't see down into it. And it is like rolling, like some something big is thrashing this guy around.
SPEAKER_08Oh my gosh. And he's how deep into it, like uh he's standing enough, but like swinging at the water.
SPEAKER_12No, he's like flailing at the surface.
SPEAKER_08Oh. Um I'm gonna s use swashbuckler to create uh a vine hanging from a tree over the or the lake, like a sturdy vine.
SPEAKER_10Okay.
SPEAKER_08That maybe we could swing out on and rescue him because we're so strong. Yeah. This is gonna go poorly. I believe in you.
SPEAKER_06Uh I'm gonna swash that buckle. Buckle that swash.
Ooh. Uh let's see what my bonus is to perception. It's a plus one, so I give it another plus one to make it a six.
SPEAKER_10Okay. Uh success with a twist.
SPEAKER_08With the quest points, two out of four. Maybe the um vine is uh far out and difficult to reach, but it would get us to where he is.
SPEAKER_12Yeah, I'm gonna say that uh Brendo, you could fly to it, but I was thinking maybe like it would be that it might have been possible without actually getting into the water.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, can I try flying to get the vine and then flying the end of the vine to the guy in the water? Can I how far into the water is he?
SPEAKER_09Could I like reach him with my man catcher and try to man catch him and pull him out?
SPEAKER_12No. Uh Brundo, you you could you definitely do the first part of that.
SPEAKER_08Like fly the vine to him.
SPEAKER_12Fly to the vine.
SPEAKER_08Fly to the vine, okay.
SPEAKER_12And then given the nature of your flying, I guess. Um you'll just have to get close into the thick of the thrashing.
SPEAKER_08I would do it. I would try to rescue this guy. I'll say, Ho thou adventurer!
SPEAKER_00I'm flying you a vine. A vine, he says. They call it a vine. The code of vine.
SPEAKER_12Alright, make a nimbleness check as you fly into the fracas.
SPEAKER_08Fracas in, y'all! Um, can I act? Make this an acting check to act like I know what I'm doing? So I get advantage on the uh it's a seven. It's a seven. Take it.
SPEAKER_12Alright. Um he grabs onto the vine. Uh but you see a tentacle wrapped around his legs.
SPEAKER_08Oh boy. Can I um I'm gonna use slingshot and see if I can't like bullseye that tentacle to make it like go to the guy. Nice.
SPEAKER_12Oh, like wicket the ewok.
SPEAKER_05No.
SPEAKER_12Oh what's your total though? I mean, is it three?
SPEAKER_09It's it is three, but I still want that to happen. It's like great.
SPEAKER_12Um what is the plus though?
SPEAKER_08Um it doesn't hit the tentacle. Maybe it loosens the buckle on his boot that the tentacle is wrapped around. It uh knocks a sleeping gator like right in the head, waking me up in the water. You know what? Add something to the fire, add fool to the fire.
SPEAKER_12All right, yeah. All right, um, let's get into a conflict. So at the top of the round, you've got a gator, you've got some creature with a tentacle in the water you can't fully see. And uh Brendo, this armored knight is grabbing onto the vine, and you're on the vine.
SPEAKER_08You're too heavy, you're too heavy. Um, I will fly off the vine. But we're in conflict, you said, right? Okay.
SPEAKER_10Let me think here.
SPEAKER_12You know, perks up and moves towards the movement in the water.
SPEAKER_08Uh, can I use narrator? Um, yeah. Uh I say, and then with a yoink and a spring and a strain, the bold knight pulled hard on the vine like a chain uh to make him kind of like get out of the water and swing out. Nice, beautiful, and it rhymed. It rhymed. Shonda rhymes over here. Sorry. Shawna rhymes the bard. Uh guy, what kind of check is this? Is that inspired check? So it's gonna be a plus three. I believe I believe we're in an eight with a plus one quest point to make it a nine. Okay, quest points, baby. Just burn it through quest points.
SPEAKER_06Oh my goodness, gracious.
SPEAKER_12All right, the knight uh yeah, shoots up on the vine, climbs like a uh a kid and a gym rope uh rope, okay? Jim Rope. Uh my name is Jim Rope.
SPEAKER_10How is that not a name in the Lana Beam? It might be. It is now. So he is hanging there.
SPEAKER_12You're flying. Hooch, what are you doing?
SPEAKER_09That's a good question.
SPEAKER_00Um basically you wrestling the gator that you woke up.
SPEAKER_09No, no, I'm gonna run from the gator. I'm gonna like run to the can I try to get into the tree where the vine is hanging down, like maybe like onto a bow and help hoist them up.
SPEAKER_10Take a bow. Yeah. Uh make a nimbleness check. That I can do. 11.
SPEAKER_12Okay. Wow. It's such that uh it's gonna take another round for you to like actually help the guy just because you're climbing and then like navigating the branches.
SPEAKER_09Yeah, that's cool. I'm like, I feel like I'm like Disney's Robin Hood up in the tree.
SPEAKER_12Um I guess it's uh then the the gator attacks the thing in the water.
SPEAKER_08Nice. It's our friendly gator.
SPEAKER_12Successfully. Uh yes. So this thing is like completely absorbed in a gator fight. You see, it's it's like got black and red tentacles.
SPEAKER_04Ooh, it's a dinoga.
SPEAKER_12Something alive down here. Wow.
SPEAKER_05Get in there. I don't care what you smell.
SPEAKER_12Um so they're fighting. And uh on the next round, James, you can try to do something up from there.
SPEAKER_08All right, yeah. I'm gonna I'm I want to try to hoist them up, like like pull them up to the tree branch that I'm standing on.
SPEAKER_12Um Brendo, you can help with this. Uh if you want, you can both like do a mic check. You can add to his might check.
SPEAKER_08But can I subtract from his mic check is the world concern.
SPEAKER_12Um no, all you gotta do is if unless you can use the else. Yeah, you roll a six and add one to his.
SPEAKER_08No, you know what? I'm gonna uh hold off because I might use owed if he fails it.
SPEAKER_10Okay. Use your last quest point. Oh, sorry, book.
SPEAKER_08No, no, I I haven't used ode yet. Oh, owed, sorry. Ode. Ode ode. Ode.
SPEAKER_12Ode. So, Jimmy, let's see that.
SPEAKER_08Show me your roll, baby. That's a 10. I am mighty. Nice.
SPEAKER_12You hoist this guy right up into the tree. Still below you, there's a gator fight, and you see for the first time clearly that this is uh well, make a lore check. It looks like a squid or something.
SPEAKER_02Oh, geez. Oh my gosh. Um it's a one.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it looks like a squid or something.
SPEAKER_05Hey, what's that squid thing down there? Armored man?

SPEAKER_07Well, uh, you know, we're headed to um Quagspire. Got any info?
SPEAKER_01Uh you know, if you got any information or if you happen to be headed that way, maybe we could travel together in safety.
SPEAKER_11I'll join you. Not going that way. I'm I don't know where I'm going. I'm searching for a lost relic.
SPEAKER_08Ah, what uh what sort of relic? Sounds like a quest for us. I want the relic, so uh there's always other ancillary treasure with a relic. Everybody knows that. Fair enough.
SPEAKER_10How much is it worth?
SPEAKER_12I'm looking for something called the worm slayer's tooth.
SPEAKER_01The worm slayer's tooth.
SPEAKER_08Never heard of it. Uh so so let me get this straight. It's a guy who slew a worm, slain a worm, slayed a worm, and it's his tooth.

SPEAKER_08It's a really small sword if it's the size of a tooth. It's like a crown.
SPEAKER_11I aim to kill a Drake, you see.
SPEAKER_01This wouldn't happen to be the black Drake of the Lost Willows.
SPEAKER_11The very same. Really?
SPEAKER_01Because we happen to be having that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_12His hand and forearm is like so much bigger than yours. It's like it, you're you hero tug his finger.
SPEAKER_08He's just like, he's holding like my shoulder. Yeah.
SPEAKER_12You now you now like get a better look at him, and like part of his armor on his leg has been crushed, and there's blood, and he like just doesn't seem to notice it. Hey man, like uh, you need some medical attention.
SPEAKER_08That's not your blood, right? I don't know. I don't know. Wouldn't have noticed. Doesn't taste like my blood. Might not be my blood. It'll be fine. Um can I he has more courage? Soothing. I soothing music him. Probably doesn't matter, but I'm gonna do it anyways. Oh, it matters. Everything matters, George. This is the land of meaning counts in small amounts, you know. Uh I roll a d6. It's the land of me. I heal him for five courage, particularly his leg. I just like shred furiously at his leg on my guitar.
SPEAKER_12You really know how to make it feel not magical, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_08But it's but it's it's not magical, it's trim technology. Or or or wondrous. Or uh I mean, I'm still shredding furiously on it. It doesn't change the fact that I'm shredding on my guitar man. You're the only one who made it not wondrous. That's a wondrous feat to me.
SPEAKER_12No, I just mean that you're like aiming at his leg with your music.
SPEAKER_08I didn't even process that part, man. Yeah, like takes it does it, it's like so not majestic.
SPEAKER_07It's just like I'll shoot him with my music laser.
SPEAKER_05That's how bard music works. He's an overwatched character. Wow.
SPEAKER_08Um, this guy is like looking at me while I'm like playing my kitar really close to his leg.
SPEAKER_01I think this is how it works. Uh we watched the bard around together. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I love it. Where'd you go to the show? Would you be happier?
SPEAKER_08Would you be happier if like treble clefts come out of my instrument and become sutures to stitch his leg together? Would that be more magical?
SPEAKER_12Magical wasn't the word.
SPEAKER_08I I know what you're getting at. It's just like it's like very, very technical. Like you've pointed at a leg to heal instead of like, you know, I just play a song and it's soothing his spirits and curves. It's like crazy. No, right. No, I I I I I'm too literal. I'm too literal minded.
SPEAKER_12It's years of conditioning.
SPEAKER_08Yeah. Very Pavalo.
SPEAKER_12Got you MP. Yeah, I already standing out.
SPEAKER_08Um, and what are we doing?
SPEAKER_12That was just the first part of the day. Um, yeah.
SPEAKER_08Uh we look down into the water and see if there's a victor of the fight. Which kaiju has won?
SPEAKER_01It's just a gator floating belly up. Every bone in its body crushed.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, we see like a tendrils like or tentacles wrapping around it and pulling it under.
SPEAKER_12The gator only wins if he gets uh oh nine or above nine or nine or above.
SPEAKER_08I like those odds. Never tell me the odds. It's a 25% chance of successes.
SPEAKER_05Whoa! The gator pulls it out.
SPEAKER_09That's amazing. This gator is like 30 feet long.
SPEAKER_10Yeah.
SPEAKER_12We come out of the pool and it's it just has like several long tentacles in its mouth.
SPEAKER_01It's like it's like like a seagull eating the hot dog. It's like yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_08It it looks at us with one eye and it starts chuckling like Thanks for the heads up.
SPEAKER_09I high-five it and we'll leave.
SPEAKER_02It eats you. Bites off my hand. Yeah.
SPEAKER_12Alright. Uh next part of the day. You're not too far away from Quag Spire, but it's gonna take you know, unless you push.
SPEAKER_08It's gonna I don't want to push. I don't want to push. I want to learn why this guy's hunting. He wants to push, but yeah, he's hunting drain. Yeah, he wants to push. Is it actually what did that musical artist ever do to you, sir?
SPEAKER_12Well Brundo, make a travel check.

SPEAKER_12I start lighting a fire. So you make no progress today. Um you kind of get turned in a circle in the same hex.
SPEAKER_08We're all like fighting with each other which way to go.
SPEAKER_12You guys probably probably got you know lost in conversation. What are you guys talking about with the bugbear?
SPEAKER_08Actually, actually, Ben, I want to believe this. Um, because of his leg injury, he s walks slightly to the right, and he's just we're just following him, and he leads us in a circle because he's not walking straight. He thought he was following you. Yeah, yeah. We didn't really understand what it was going on. Oh, I uh we thought you were we were following you. Uh yeah, you're the one who knows. Wait, where is the relic, anyways, buddy? I mean, where is the theoretical relic at?
SPEAKER_11I mean, that's a good question.
SPEAKER_10Oh.
SPEAKER_11I don't know where it exactly.
SPEAKER_12Somewhere in the quagmash, I thought.
SPEAKER_08Oh, so you've just been going a hidden dungeon somewhere. I think it's where that brand guy came out of. Maybe, actually. We must rescue where that hidden place is. We might have just sent a tricky toe gang there.
SPEAKER_09Yeah, the Red Boot gang.
SPEAKER_08The Red Boot gang. Yeah, there's just so many gangs, they're all the same to me. Red Boot Bandits. A lot of feet gangs. It's kind of weird. It is.
SPEAKER_09Actually, I think that's actually probably exactly where it is, man. And we did just send the whole red boot gang there. Uh, should we go back? I would go back. Well, he needs it to kill the Drake, and we gotta kill the Drake to get Harnbeard.
I say harnbeard every time, every time. And I hate to say it, weren't we supposed to meet up with Fran and Bellu and Cheney? Yeah, yeah. I say, You guys are well too hexed. We're almost yeah, we should go finish that off. I say, well, well, we tell we tell him we're I don't know. Let's should we camp for the night? First of all, yeah, let's camp for the night and we'll walk him through it while we're camping. So start a fire. I'll play some jams. Uh.red. Thank you. Voar.red to you too. Um start a fire, play some jams, and uh we settle in for the night. And I turn to this guy and I say, Seth, can call you Seth. Yeah. Seth, uh, we rescued a goblin named Brian from this sinking door. Uh he said there was a lot of treasure back where he was spelunking. I wonder if that might not have been one of the ways into the place you're looking for. I think he said he came from a different direction, right?
SPEAKER_09Yeah, he came from a different entrance. Which we don't know where it is.
SPEAKER_11It's a lead, that's for sure.
SPEAKER_09Um we uh right now we're on our way to the quagspire because we've we have to explain, like we can't go there yet, but like fast forward five minutes, yeah. Yeah. Um like let us tell you our plan, like what we're what we're out here doing. So we're looking for Twinbeard, we're trying to gain enough um help to capture Twinbeard, and the only way that we're doing that is by making deals like we did with you to help other folks. Now, if we can help these folks at Quagspire, um, I'm sure that they would help you acquire the relic. And then we could all get Twinbeard together and rid Bogtown of the tricky toes once and for all. Would you be willing to do that?
SPEAKER_11Who are these other people you're talking about?
SPEAKER_05Uh, a couple of mushroom guys and uh a lady whose whose objectives align with our own.
SPEAKER_08She's forgotten.
SPEAKER_11Yeah, what are you doing at the quagspire?

SPEAKER_12He really doesn't talk much.
SPEAKER_08Well, maybe you'll gain his respect. It's very boring.
SPEAKER_12Look, he's a filmmog outrider.
SPEAKER_08He is humorless in this land of humor. Rendo almost has a spit take when he says Fellmog Outrider. Is he around here? Like, I'm gonna like just become more interested in hiring that guy to join us or finding out.
SPEAKER_02Oh, so he's like around here. I should go talk to him.

SPEAKER_04Hmm.
SPEAKER_08See, but that's good, right? Because that means that you've made the quag mesh safer already, or someone has, so that's one less thing you have to worry about, right? Except for the dark shroom tower.
SPEAKER_09What's a dark shroom tower? That's where the mushroom was long ago. Oh, that's right. We promised them that they did the same deal with Seth.
