And I gave you my sword sword gog. Oh yeah. Which was very packed and I got a lot more health.

SPEAKER_03 2:00

And I ate here. I lost, became a sorcerer, and now I am a magic user.

SPEAKER_05 2:08

Multiclass now has a magic user. And I got a whole lot more spells, so now I have one. You're wondering losses counting as spells.

SPEAKER_03 2:21

Now I have 18 different spells, and a whole lot of them are hand rips, and I and I still only have two weapons.

SPEAKER_01 2:33

So you're in the potion shop, and it's the morning. In fact, it's the it's the morning of the market. And so, as you know, there are various shops around the market, including Gracie's Fantasy's Ice Cream, which is currently closed. But there is the bank, there is a carpenter, there is a blacksmith, a tavern, there's a miller. We're in the potion shop already, there's a clothing store, and then in the square itself, there's some little shops. So there's like a jewelry shop or a little bit.

SPEAKER_05 3:09

I'm trying to figure out which one would sell rope.

SPEAKER_01 3:13

There's the crafts, there's the produce. Okay. Tell me what you'd like to do.

SPEAKER_05 3:20

Wake up, I find the potion personal and ask her if I can buy a I arcane focus.

SPEAKER_03 3:30

She says, well from somewhere in the case.

SPEAKER_01 3:32

From somewhere. Well, in this in this shop, we really only sell potions, but I guess if if I wanted to buy some sort of magical wand or or or something like that, I'd probably talk to the craftspeople.

SPEAKER_05 3:47

Do you know where I could get some rope in the square?

SPEAKER_01 3:52

Some rope. Oh, that's a pretty good question. Hmm. Let me think about where you could get some rope. Probably I mean it's probably somewhere in the square. Maybe at the crafts booth or maybe in the the carpenter shop.

SPEAKER_05 4:05

How much rope would you say would take to tie my short my new short sword that Bailey gave me onto the zoomy broomy kabloomy?

SPEAKER_01 4:18

Well, it probably wouldn't take very much rope.

SPEAKER_03 4:21

I think he uses like the sword, like the handle of the sword is like tied. Like if this is the sword, it's like.

SPEAKER_01 4:28

Oh, so it's like on the front of the sword?

SPEAKER_05 4:31

Yes, and then I can like the people and stab.

SPEAKER_01 4:34

I think five feet would be a good amount of rope. Okay. Okay, so I'm gonna go to the book.

SPEAKER_02 4:37

Um, can I go to the shopkeeper and be like good morning?

SPEAKER_01 4:42

Good morning.

SPEAKER_02 4:43

What's your name?

The healer. I used to kill people.

SPEAKER_01 4:52

Nice to meet you, the healer. And what's your name?

SPEAKER_05 4:54

Durisva account sirzaka. But you can call me Pure Focus.

SPEAKER_01 5:03

SPEAKER_02 5:11

Oh, just a few monsters.

SPEAKER_01 5:13

Just a few.

SPEAKER_02 5:15

Don't worry. I used to cut people's head off for a living.

SPEAKER_01 5:20

That is equally terrifying.

SPEAKER_05 5:22

There's like three monsters. I I make a history check to see if I remember how many monsters there were. Okay, that doesn't do it. I got a six total.

SPEAKER_01 5:34

I think three three. It might have been. It might have been four. All I know is you you really helped me out, and uh what happened to the bandit that you took with you that you knocked unconscious.

SPEAKER_02 5:46

Oh, well, we have had to kill him because the police kill them. Oh yeah, they were evil.

SPEAKER_01 5:55

Evil police, huh? Hmm. Very mysterious. I wonder what made them so evil.

SPEAKER_05 6:00

Oh yeah, I also picked up these random keys.

SPEAKER_01 6:04

Oh, huh.

SPEAKER_05 6:05

And I'm still lugging a life supply of noodles. I also have this zoomy broomy kabloomy.

SPEAKER_01 6:11

SPEAKER_05 6:14

Do not defend it! You have a little space where I can eat noodles.

SPEAKER_01 6:20

Sure, do you guys you need some breakfast or anything? We can all uh yeah.

SPEAKER_05 6:24

You have like some eggs, we could just mix them with some noodles, and that would be a great focus is repeatedly trying to cast a maid chant to grab a pebble off the floor and just like So you all go into the back room and there's a montage of you all eating breakfast and having a cheerful conversation.

SPEAKER_03 6:46

Wait. I wrap my sickle, I chop up noodles with my sickle.

SPEAKER_01 6:51

That seems like a dangerous way to eat breakfast, but each his own.

SPEAKER_02 6:56

No, I have some bananas.

SPEAKER_01 7:00

There might be some bananas in the in the market square. It is the farmer's market today. I I would if you want a banana, go check to the to the produce section.

SPEAKER_06 7:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 7:22

Join them because there might be fun craft. I go to the craft shop. I joined them while he gets rope. I try and get rope is at the craft shop. I kind of need this thing in my quarry staffing channel.

SPEAKER_01 7:37

Okay, you walk out of the front door of the potion shop, and the craft area is pretty much right in front of you, and there's a bunch of different booths and tents set up with various different types of crafts for sale. There's some pottery, there's some woodworking, there's some textiles, and you, if you're focused, you were looking for some rope, and so you kind of look through, talk to some of the different folks running the booths, and uh they point you in the right direction of a of a place that just sells sort of adventuring gear, and uh you you can roll up in there's sort of a big burly human, and he does have some.

SPEAKER_05 8:11

He's more burly near him. I have an 18 strength.

SPEAKER_03 8:50

No, better.

SPEAKER_05 8:50

Call him Rope Dude.

SPEAKER_01 8:52

Rope dude? Mr. Rope Dude? Okay.

SPEAKER_05 8:55

Can I cast? Can I cast can I try to cast Elementism to try to blow my hand?

SPEAKER_01 9:02

SPEAKER_01 9:42

Alright, straight up strength check.

SPEAKER_00 9:45

SPEAKER_05 9:56

You know, just it for 30 feet.

SPEAKER_00 9:58

Maybe uh let's call it one gold piece.

SPEAKER_05 10:01

Wow. Okay, that's tight. Okay, then I'll buy two billion.

SPEAKER_00 10:07

I don't really know. I don't think I got two billion for a feet of rope.

SPEAKER_05 10:11

Okay, yeah, I'll buy I'll buy 30 feet of rope.

SPEAKER_01 10:15

Okay, so you give him one gold piece and he gives you 30 feet of rope. Is there anything else that you are looking for in the craft area you're focused?

SPEAKER_05 10:23

I want can someone enchant my quarter staff so I can cast magic with it?

SPEAKER_01 10:29

Are you asking Mr. Rope Dude?

SPEAKER_05 10:31

Uh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:32

Um, uh I think there's probably I think if you walk down um kind of closer to the produce area, there are some elves over there who are artificers who might be able to help you out.

SPEAKER_01 10:44

Let's make a cartwheel check.

SPEAKER_05 10:45

Is that acrobatics?

SPEAKER_01 10:47

Yeah, why don't we make that an acrobatics check?

SPEAKER_05 10:49

Why not the four You mean Dexterity 12?

SPEAKER_01 10:54

12 total. You do a couple of cartwheels, but they're they're not very well balanced, and on the third try, you actually kind of just fall down to the ground.

SPEAKER_02 11:03

I cannot do that! Can I try the backhand spring?

SPEAKER_01 11:08

You sure can try the backhand spring. Why don't you give me an acrobatics check?

SPEAKER_02 11:11

Where is I forbid? Use plus four. Okay. Fourteen!

SPEAKER_01 11:16

Fourteen, you're able to do a pretty solid backhand spring and land it, and you don't hit anybody. You walk down past Mr. Rope with the rope dude. Is that his name? Mr. Rope Dude. Close to the produce, you see a very fancy tent, and it's full of all kinds of exotic wares, and there are three wood elves. Uh, and one of them is sort of manning the countertop, and you walk over.

SPEAKER_03 11:38

And his name is you could call them Mr.

SPEAKER_05 11:42

Elvis. No, Elvis Presley. Yeah, Elvis Presley. Elvis Presley.

SPEAKER_01 11:50

Elvis Presley's pretty good. So you walk, you walk, you walk down uh sort of closer to the produce section, and there is a very fancy-looking tent with a bunch of different people.

SPEAKER_05 12:02

I just say, can you enchant the squarter stuff so I can cast magic?

SPEAKER_01 12:06

Essentially magical.

SPEAKER_05 12:08

I will slit your throat with my claws or with my wound. I haven't decided yet.

SPEAKER_01 12:13

The elves give you a pretty funny look and say that's not really how we do business around here.

SPEAKER_05 12:20

Hi, I'm Durst, a couch.

SPEAKER_01 12:26

That that the the elf gives you a pretty quizzical look and says, that name seems impronounceable. Is there a nickname that you go by or Bailey? You're focused, that's a pretty good dickname.

SPEAKER_05 12:38

I'm Bailey.

SPEAKER_01 12:40

Hi, Bailey. My name is Elfish Presley. Is there anything we can help you with? We have a lot of.

SPEAKER_05 12:49

Can we enchant this quarter staff, please?

SPEAKER_01 12:52

Um we can we could, yeah, but it would I mean the short answer is yes, we could, but it it's not something that we could do right away. It would probably take us a couple of days to enchant this quarter staff, but if you're looking for some sort of arcane focus, we do have a couple of magic wands for sale. Would you be interested in buying one of those?

SPEAKER_02 13:12

You could you could use part of your rope to attach them together.

SPEAKER_05 13:22

So I think, no, I'll stick the magic wand in or carve a hole in the corner staff, stick the magic wand in the hole, and then cover like I'm casting with the corner staff. And then cover yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:35

Pretty innovative idea, good innovation.

SPEAKER_05 13:37

Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:38

Here are some of the magic wands we have. They're 150 gold pieces each.

SPEAKER_05 13:42

Persuasion check for 140 to make it 145.

SPEAKER_01 13:47

Well, that's an interesting. I you know, if you guys wanted to do us a favor, we'd be happy to give you a.

SPEAKER_05 13:53

What's the favor? We're kind of already booked until like next month. Well, that's what's the favor?

SPEAKER_01 14:00

Well, it's that's funny you should ask. So there's uh a friend of ours who's coming to the house.

SPEAKER_05 14:04

I can roar at them and scare them. Although I don't want to waste my breath weapon on that.

SPEAKER_01 14:10

There is a friend of ours who's coming to town, and and you know, things have not been all that safe around here. If you were willing to sort of go to the river and meet them and escort them back to town and make sure they got the town safe, we'd be more than happy to give you a 50% discount on these magic wands. And also, uh, there's probably some other things we could talk about.

SPEAKER_05 14:30

Can I make a check to see if the rever is on the way to the place with the stuff is supposed to get for potions?

SPEAKER_01 14:36

Sure.

SPEAKER_05 14:38

What check would that be? Oh god.

SPEAKER_01 14:40

Let's call that.

SPEAKER_05 14:41

You think you pay all the level? Oh, I saw what. Insight check?

SPEAKER_01 14:47

Yeah, or you could do inside. Can I try insight access? Insight or history. I'd accept.

SPEAKER_05 14:52

Can I do insight? I'm better at the same time. Can I also do a does a 15 succeed total? 15 total.

SPEAKER_02 14:58

I'm gonna try here. Uh well, I got a sentence.

SPEAKER_05 15:01

Total?

SPEAKER_02 15:02

Yeah, total.

SPEAKER_05 15:03

Can I do an insight also? Or I'll do an insight to commit.

SPEAKER_01 15:08

You're all more than welcome to do your own checks.

SPEAKER_05 15:12

That one! I don't know. Yeah, you don't even know where you are right now. You are only that I write. It was only when you're right here on the surface of beer. What? Above eight.

SPEAKER_01 15:26

With a with an inside check of 15, I will tell you that they're not too far away from each other. You know, they're kind of on the same road out of town, but it's not like you need to get to the river to get to the field where the the ingredients are. So one way you could do it is you could Wait, when is their friend arriving? Oh, in the next uh, you know, sometime this afternoon, around the time that you get to the bridge.

SPEAKER_02 15:51

Okay, who votes we do that? Me! I vote we do this because we don't want to spend the 150 gold pieces, even though we still have like 500. I'll get the ingredients while you guys escort that.

SPEAKER_05 16:05

Nah, I kinda I w I wanna stick together. I wanna stick together.

SPEAKER_02 16:10

Let's escort, escort, escort.

SPEAKER_05 16:11

Can we listen?

SPEAKER_02 16:12

Since these are very far apart, we could grab ingredients, get the person, get back, and we'll have done two favors.

SPEAKER_05 16:20

Yeah, that seems like a good idea.

SPEAKER_03 16:22

Bra I've bra I've something. Because we can only get the discount now, but we can get the ingredients like anytime we're near them.

SPEAKER_05 16:31

Wait, did they say we can only get the discount now or like?

SPEAKER_01 16:35

That's a good question. Let me go talk to my family back here for a second.

SPEAKER_04 16:40

What's the name of your family?

SPEAKER_01 16:43

The Presleys.

SPEAKER_04 16:44

No, what's their first name?

SPEAKER_01 16:46

Well, my name my name is Elvish. I'm trying to think of a joke for Priscilla, but I can't. And then.

SPEAKER_05 16:53

No, wait! Who can think of anything that has to do with wood? Because he said there are wood elves.

SPEAKER_01 16:59

They are wood, they are wood elves from the woods.

SPEAKER_05 17:01

Elfwood!

SPEAKER_06 17:02

Viva Marie.

SPEAKER_05 17:04

Yeah, we didn't get it. What? We could get ingredients on the way.

SPEAKER_03 17:09

Like, yes, that's why we're getting a good idea.

SPEAKER_05 17:10

Like I gave that Claudies and Snelly's tongue.

SPEAKER_03 17:14

We pick the person up and then we go to the ingredients area and protect them. Wall. Let's get the ingredients while we have.

SPEAKER_05 17:20

But what if they don't want that? Yeah, they might be a bad flater.

SPEAKER_02 17:24

They might have low health. We should get ingredients first. Because we know that we can survive that. But what if I'm on Bailey's side.

SPEAKER_05 17:33

Wait, no, I know.

SPEAKER_03 17:34

What if I go directly to the person and you go, guys, go get ingredients, and then you meet us back up.

SPEAKER_05 17:41

Yeah. I don't like the idea of splitting it. Neither do I.

SPEAKER_01 17:46

Elvish comes back to the counter and he says, We're willing to give you a discount now to buy your magic wand, but we want to make sure that you come back. Is there anything that you can leave with us that we can use as collateral that we make sure that you come back?

SPEAKER_05 18:04

Do you think I should give my star map? What do they mean by that? Don't give your star map.

SPEAKER_01 18:09

They want you to leave something valuable with them so that they know that you're gonna come back with their friend.

SPEAKER_05 18:16

As long as you give it back.

SPEAKER_01 18:18

Okay, so I'm gonna go back to the back. We'll definitely give it back to you when you come back with our friend, yes. Is there anything worth about 75 gold pieces? Do you want to leave behind?

SPEAKER_05 18:26

My great axe is 30. My animated heel?

SPEAKER_01 18:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 18:32

Um, wait, how wait. My heavy crossbow is. My heavy crossbow is. My heavy crossbow is 50 and my great axe is 30. So that's that would be a good idea.

SPEAKER_01 18:49

Yeah, that would that would definitely we would take those and give you one arcane focus. Along you also have to give us 75 gold pieces, though.

SPEAKER_05 18:55

Um, yeah, I'll give them 75 gold, I guess.

SPEAKER_01 18:58

Okay. So you give them 75 gold and you you leave behind your great axe and your crossbow, and they hand you what what why don't you describe what your arcane focus looks like?

SPEAKER_05 19:08

Can it be a quarter staff?

SPEAKER_01 19:10

It sure can be, yeah. Yes! Why don't you describe what it looks like?

SPEAKER_05 19:14

Like, it has like a serpent like wrapping around it. It's a quarter staff, and it has like um dragon teeth like along it. Nice. Except where you're supposed to hold it.

SPEAKER_01 19:28

Pretty cool. So they hand you this quarter staff with a serpent wrapped around it and some dragon teeth. And the healer. What are you gonna like a wooden serpent. A wooden serpent, not like a real serpent that's gonna bite you?

SPEAKER_05 19:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:39

Probably a good idea. So do you have some things that you want to leave behind or do you want to wait until you get back to get your arcane focus?

SPEAKER_05 19:46

I'll leave behind.

SPEAKER_01 19:48

What do you want to leave behind?

SPEAKER_05 19:49

My animated shield.

SPEAKER_01 19:51

Your animated shield. Okay, is there anything else that you want to add to that? I mean, you probably want one more thing.

SPEAKER_03 19:56

A barrel of noodles.

SPEAKER_01 19:58

Barrel of noodles, we've got plenty of noodles here ourselves. Don't really need that. Is there something that you have that's unique that you can leave behind? We just want to make sure that you're gonna come back and you're not swindling us.

SPEAKER_05 20:08

Hmm. My sickle! My one weapon called the sickle.

SPEAKER_01 20:14

Your one weapon called sickle. So you leave behind your sickle and your shield and you pay them 75 gold pieces.

SPEAKER_03 20:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 20:23

What is your arcane focus? Why don't you describe it?

SPEAKER_03 20:27

It's a ring. It's a ring made of silver. Like a coiled snake. Nice.

SPEAKER_01 20:35

Why don't you also make sure you mark down that you spent 75 gold pieces?

SPEAKER_05 20:39

I've already done that and I think I marked down too much because I had like 499, apparently. You had 450. Wait. Yeah, I had like 450. Um I would like. Would you say my claws, my Dragonborn claws are sharp enough to cut the side?

SPEAKER_01 21:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 21:01

Okay, I wanna cut enough rope to tie the short sword that Bailey gave me to the front of the zoomy brumi kabloomi. So it's the zoomy kab the zoomy brumi kabloomi of doomy. Can I do that? With spammy.

SPEAKER_01 21:19

Why don't you roll a d20 to see how effectively you're able to tie and secure the uh the short sword to the front of the room? Oh, just give me a straight up D20 roll. We'll just see how this goes.

SPEAKER_05 21:32

Wait, that's a D12 knot.

SPEAKER_01 21:34

It's a D12, probably not as high, huh?

SPEAKER_05 21:36

I got a crit one in that.

SPEAKER_01 21:38

Crit one, alright. You you tie a dupe, but you realize you don't know how to tie knots. So it doesn't really work.

SPEAKER_03 21:44

Can I do an intelligence or wisdom?

SPEAKER_01 21:46

Yeah, you what yeah, if you want to do an intelligence check to see. Why don't you yeah, a wisdom throw why don't you just do a straight up wisdom throw to see if you know how to tie a knot?

SPEAKER_05 21:53

Ooh, I have plus six for that. No, only plus four. Not swatting! Okay, so I gotta do every knot in Exist.

SPEAKER_01 22:04

Exactly. The healer apparently used to be a sailor and he was very good with knots.

SPEAKER_05 22:08

I used to be a scribe. I I tie the tassels onto the paper.

SPEAKER_01 22:13

I see. Tie the passels.

SPEAKER_05 22:14

Yeah, you have tassels.

SPEAKER_01 22:18

Then affixed the short sword to the zoomy, boomy, boomy, zoomy. And now it is an effective weapon. With a natural 20, I'll say it is pretty securely secured. So forever.

SPEAKER_05 22:31

Jump on it and ram people with it.

SPEAKER_01 22:33

How are you gonna get there?

SPEAKER_05 22:35

Running. No. I hop on the zoomy boom. Wait, can I join you? I only have persuasion check. Okay, I'll make a persuasion check. The DC is 15. I have plus five in persuasion. Okay. Same. No, you have plus four. Nineteen? Yeah. Plus four. Okay, you can ride. Wait. I'm just like, can I please ride? Just hold on to my feet. Persuasion check. I I'll give you a DP. Persuasion check with advantage. Okay, I actually have plus five for this.

SPEAKER_03 23:15

Not 20!

SPEAKER_05 23:19

25 with advantage though. I mean you can do much better than that 20. Unless we could give it another Nat 20. Then I'd do awesome. Yeah, okay. I let you sit in my head.

SPEAKER_03 23:36

So like I I just like, wait, do I have the best idea? Jeez.

SPEAKER_05 23:44

Anyway, let's go. Fly fly.

SPEAKER_01 23:46

What if you roll a D20 to see whether or not the Zoomy Broomy is able to hold the weight of all three of you at once?

SPEAKER_05 23:52

Okay. Wait, how we all roll?

SPEAKER_01 23:54

I'm just.

SPEAKER_05 23:55

How heavy are we? Here? Wait, how heavy are we all? Wait. That's a s dang it, that's a sucking.

SPEAKER_01 24:02

So all three of you get on the Zoomy Broomy and it kind of it's not really feeling it.

SPEAKER_05 24:06

Okay, I've no idea what that gets too.

SPEAKER_01 24:08

Okay, so you're just sort of lazily riding the flying.

SPEAKER_05 24:12

We're just like running. We're just running and getting our exercise done. I'm like, I say, you can't catch me. Yeah, the gingerbread man. You've never even had gingerbread. Good point, it hasn't been invented. Hey, can we invent gingerbread?

SPEAKER_01 24:33

Yeah, gingerbread roll.

SPEAKER_05 24:35

Okay. And it's 3020. Can I do another gingerbread roll too? We're just rolling. I got a 13. I got a 13 as well. I got a nat 20 again! I invented every aspect of it.

SPEAKER_01 24:49

And I'm glad you're getting gnat 20s on these incredibly meaningful rolls.

SPEAKER_03 24:53

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:56

It's mid morning, and you guys start heading north of the town, and you're walking along and you're in the forest, and you know, there's animals, you can hear the birds chirping, and by about midday, you sort of come out of the heavy woods. Uh, the trees start to clear out, and it becomes more like fields, and you notice that to your right uh there are some cliffs, and the cliffs are starting to get taller and taller as you're going along. And you start to begin noticing that there are some caves in the cliffs. Uh, and there's some trees, you know, some tall grass, and and you why don't you actually why don't all of you make a perception check for me, please?

SPEAKER_04 25:32

This dice looks so good. Okay, let me see. Which one no, wait, uh two.

SPEAKER_03 25:37

No, I broke my NAT 20 street.

SPEAKER_02 25:41

What was it? Wait, what does a square do double?

SPEAKER_03 25:46

Double proficiency.

SPEAKER_01 25:49

Perception of 25.

SPEAKER_03 25:51

So you have plus.

SPEAKER_01 25:52

So you get a plus three plus your proficiency.

SPEAKER_03 25:55

Mastery. In it.

SPEAKER_05 25:57

Oh, mastery.

SPEAKER_01 25:58

So you get you double that, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 26:00

I got a critical. I got a 20. I got a 18.

SPEAKER_01 26:06

18. Alright, so with uh 25. Pure focus, you are you notice that there are all these sort of small animals running in and out of the grass. There's sort of the field has got tall grass, and you can see that there are all these creatures sort of running in and out and around, and every once in a while you see this like head poke up out of the grass. You can tell it's some kind of some kind of cat. Keeler with uh 18, you also notice these creatures. You're doing a very good impression of them for some reason. And but you can't, you know, you don't really you can't really tell where they are. And Bailey with a one, you actually trip and fall, and all this dust kicks up from the road, and it gets in your eye, and you're kind of like, oh my eyes!

SPEAKER_05 26:48

My eyes are sneak over to the animals to see what they are without scaring them? Wait, character nine. Wait, can I try to make a stealth check to check what the animals are?

SPEAKER_01 26:58

Sure, one is well, because I've got this. Has anybody told Bailey about these animals?

SPEAKER_05 27:02

Um, sure.

SPEAKER_01 27:06

Okay, I want to see if you want to sneak over to see.

SPEAKER_05 27:08

I have plus six. I knew you were gonna say that. I have plus six for stealth, right? I got a nine! I got a twenty-two!

SPEAKER_01 27:18

Did you also want to sneak over there, or are you just gonna stay on the road? Okay, you're gonna stay on the road. Okay. So you start sneaking over there, and pure focus, you're doing pretty well, and you're you're close enough to realize that these are small to medium-sized cat-like creatures. They're spotted, they've got very long hind legs, but that's all you can tell before Bailey steps on a stick and snaps it, and then all of the all of the cats scatter away.

SPEAKER_04 27:46

After, can I make a nature check?

SPEAKER_01 27:48

Yeah, you can make a nature check to see if you can figure out what these are.

SPEAKER_04 27:52

Twelve total. Can I try and make a check? Sure, wait a minute. I got 50!

SPEAKER_01 27:58

Okay, with a with a 15 nature check, I will tell you, you know what these creatures are. They're called servals, and they have very long hind legs. They can jump pretty high. Um, up to 10 feet, actually. Up to 10 feet. Small to medium-sized cats. And they're just sort of running around in the meadow.

SPEAKER_04 28:12

Wait, can you listen? What if we try and get one of these guys to be our cat? Yeah, that's it.

SPEAKER_01 28:19

Now you have some some serval rations, what do you do?

SPEAKER_04 28:22

Um I'm just gonna go up and like your kid.

SPEAKER_01 28:24

SPEAKER_05 28:27

SPEAKER_01 28:44

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 28:45

Can I go up and say, Yeah, does any of you wanna be our pet?

SPEAKER_01 28:49

One of them takes a step forward to you and goes down food.

SPEAKER_05 28:52

Um I rip off I rip off like a wing of the guinea fowl, and I'm just like Yeah. Do you wanna come with us?

SPEAKER_04 29:05

Wait, can you tell them that they're gonna get the help with this advantage? Oh yeah, you can also help.

SPEAKER_01 29:11

Food?

SPEAKER_04 29:12

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 29:13

Food. The serval comes over and he smells the guinea fowl and he starts to sort of nibble the guinea fowl.

SPEAKER_04 29:19

If you come with us, you can give it more.

SPEAKER_01 29:23

Why don't you make an animal handling check? See how successful you will be at advantage? Yes, I'll give you advantage for the What do you have the bonus for animal handling?

SPEAKER_05 29:33

For same. Okay, that's an 18 total.

SPEAKER_01 29:37

With an 18 total, the serval definitely comes back around and says, Meow delicious. Meow, more food?

SPEAKER_04 29:44

Yes, but only if you come with.

SPEAKER_05 29:54

They're fast and they can jump high.

SPEAKER_02 29:58

Lightning bolt! Yeah, for sure we can. I can call Bolti. Bolti, Bolti Bolti!

SPEAKER_01 30:06

Meow Bolti. So he starts uh as cats do, he starts rubbing up against your legs and walking in between your legs and all three of you. And I think that's probably a good point. Yeah, you can try to pet him once make a 18 like. You have an 18 petting check. So you the serval sort of settles up to you and and you can tell that it likes getting scratched under the chin. So you give it some. You give it some pets. Some nice cat pets.

SPEAKER_05 30:32

Hey, get a pet? You're a druid. That's like what you do. Yeah. How do I not have proficiency in animal handling?

SPEAKER_01 30:42

You go to pet the serval, and all of a sudden the serval hisses and turns in a direction and goes, and I need you all to make a perception check.

SPEAKER_02 30:50

Oh. I think we're yeah, 22.

SPEAKER_01 30:54

You all turn to look in the direction that the serval is hissing at, and you see a giant monitor lizard charging you. And we're gonna end there for today.
