Walden Briarhelm: Big
Luke Neverisky: Oh s***, that's being
Christopher Hooper: You are being
Luke Neverisky: recorded. I
Walden Briarhelm: roll.
Christopher Hooper: recorded. Hello everybody. How's it
Walden Briarhelm: Heyer, how's Papa toe
Luke Neverisky: consent off the
Christopher Hooper: going? I'm doing
Tyram: Don't call him that
Walden Briarhelm: doing? No, we don't. We don't like
Christopher Hooper: well. I'm big
Tyram: again. God damn it.
Walden Briarhelm: it. Do we prefer big
Luke Neverisky: toe. What's that calling that
Christopher Hooper: papa. Zack, how
Walden Briarhelm: papa? She's doing I would I mean
Christopher Hooper: is your
Walden Briarhelm: given everything I'd say she's doing very well. Uh
Luke Neverisky: again?
Christopher Hooper: wife?
Walden Briarhelm: the surgery was successful. It was uh as minimally invasive as possible and she paid for
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Walden Briarhelm: the uh ACL reconstruction.
Christopher Hooper: What? What? What was the surgery again?
Walden Briarhelm: So, she landed funky on her leg and popped her
Christopher Hooper: Oh
Walden Briarhelm: ACL, which is unfortunately common and not a very fun recovery.
Christopher Hooper: yeah. Yeah. I
Walden Briarhelm: Uh, so she's Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: play a lot of soccer and people like wreck their ACL all the
Walden Briarhelm: Soccer is uh real familiar with it then. Yeah. You you get it
Christopher Hooper: time.
Walden Briarhelm: and they put you in the brace where you're basically just stuck in it for a while. Yep. So, it's been a
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah.
Walden Briarhelm: challenging lots of interesting uh new experiences, but so far she's done well. We got to a point
Christopher Hooper: I feel like that one
Walden Briarhelm: Oh, go
Christopher Hooper: as like a person is like just outsidesly like debilitating for like the you know what it the surgery and everything it is just
Walden Briarhelm: ahead. Right. That's I
Christopher Hooper: because like it means you can't
Walden Briarhelm: mean that's exactly how we felt about it. It was like you you need
Christopher Hooper: walk.
Walden Briarhelm: to you're you have to be able to move. So that was a choice and so far like out of pocket
Luke Neverisky: See?
Walden Briarhelm: expenses has been fairly impressive. I'm very impressed with how cheap things have come out considering what you
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, no big
Walden Briarhelm: see. Well, I mean uh so far separate bills have been less than a thousand each. That always feels good. They might add up to a few
Luke Neverisky: Nice.
Christopher Hooper: deal. All
Walden Briarhelm: thousand, but like that's pretty good. I'll take
Christopher Hooper: right. Are they like
Walden Briarhelm: that. I don't
Luke Neverisky: Dang.
Christopher Hooper: spoon feeding it to you right now? One a lot of
Walden Briarhelm: know. Yeah, probably. That's
Luke Neverisky: They boiled frog you
Christopher Hooper: times.
Ellis Taylor: Get out of
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, exactly.
Ellis Taylor: here.
Tyram: Hey. Oh, I got that uh that video game uh Claire
Walden Briarhelm: the overall just doing
Tyram: Obscurer Expedition
Walden Briarhelm: well. Who tell
Luke Neverisky: know. Oh yeah. You
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. Have you been playing
Tyram: 33. Um I've only like beat the first boss. Like
Luke Neverisky: want that
Christopher Hooper: it?
Tyram: I haven't had much time to play it during the week here, but it Yeah, I can see what all the hype is about. It's
Luke Neverisky: correct?
Tyram: uh seems to be very well written and it's got a very interesting premise.
Luke Neverisky: It
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, I would say it's it's interesting cuz the like combat and like gameplay itself is just, you know, kind of whatever.
Tyram: So
Christopher Hooper: Um, but it is all about like the style and the story and
Tyram: yeah, although I do like how I can start every
Walden Briarhelm: us?
Tyram: encounter by just like take standing there for a second just shooting everyone in the
Christopher Hooper: the
Luke Neverisky: was Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. I That's exactly how I started
Tyram: face.
Christopher Hooper: too with like, oh, I'm gonna just have my builds where I just shoot
Tyram: Well, I mean like you get the points back and you know if you can do some free damage, why not? Especially because some
Christopher Hooper: everyone. Yeah.
Tyram: enemies like you kind of have to anyway. But
Luke Neverisky: Mhm.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Mhm.
Luke Neverisky: Yep.
Christopher Hooper: It does make it where it's nice to have at least like one person in the party that
Luke Neverisky: There is a
Christopher Hooper: just shoots
Tyram: yeah.
Luke Neverisky: specific like machine gun build for a character and it's basically
Christopher Hooper: everyone. Oh, really? That sounds
Tyram: I'm
Walden Briarhelm: Is this only on PC or can I play this on a
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Tyram: playing it on PS5. So
Walden Briarhelm: console? Nice. That
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Walden Briarhelm: is I've I'm I'm really torn. I think I'm ready to make the jump back. I don't want to have to update to Windows 11 and I'm
Christopher Hooper: fun.
Walden Briarhelm: really The only reason I have my PC is to play games. So, I was like, why don't
Luke Neverisky: Nice.
Tyram: yeah,
Walden Briarhelm: I just get a console? But I don't know what I should get between an Xbox and a
Luke Neverisky: I will say like a yeah PS5 especially
Christopher Hooper: We get a
Luke Neverisky: because like Game Pass just hikes up their prices to 30 bucks a month or PS
Christopher Hooper: PS.
Tyram: I got a PS5
Walden Briarhelm: PS5. Oh, for how
Luke Neverisky: now is still 15 if
Tyram: so I could play Spider-Man. So like I still just like wait until like
Walden Briarhelm: long?
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Tyram: hey here's a game I really want and then that usually is how I make my console
Luke Neverisky: that What
Walden Briarhelm: Okay. What is the I Spider-Man obviously and the
Luke Neverisky: do you
Tyram: choice.
Walden Briarhelm: sequel, but what are uh what are some other PS5 titles you would
Tyram: Uh, I like the Final Fantasy remake things, although that is that's not something I would say is
Walden Briarhelm: suggest? That
Tyram: like fit for everyone. Like I enjoy like terrible
Luke Neverisky: think?
Tyram: grinds. So like, you
Walden Briarhelm: one original seven.
Luke Neverisky: That is a terrible grind.
Tyram: know, Yeah. I'm like usually like
Walden Briarhelm: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I get
Tyram: with movies and video games and everything like it's like you know like oh it takes so much so long and so grinding and like usually I'm okay with it but I will say I felt every minute of the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth uh level up grind it I
Walden Briarhelm: it.
Christopher Hooper: What?
Tyram: was ready for that game to be over when it was over
Walden Briarhelm: I watched some people I watched a few
Luke Neverisky: Yes.
Walden Briarhelm: streamers play it and was like, I get the gist. It's definitely not
Tyram: but
Walden Briarhelm: the ex it's a a retelling for sure. I like the word
Tyram: Oh not really no um that's actually I think the interesting thing about it
Walden Briarhelm: rebirth. Like how it plays is
Tyram: is that it's bas it seems like there it's a
Walden Briarhelm: very interesting.
Tyram: time loop like you are not just doing the same game over again you are changing key moments because like Erit like inner consciousness back in time the game's been out for like six f****** years so I don't feel bad about but
Walden Briarhelm: Yeah. No,
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Tyram: yeah but yeah but no um
Walden Briarhelm: that's a spoiler for
Luke Neverisky: Totally. For
Tyram: but they're being very
Luke Neverisky: our fan
Tyram: like nonforthcoming about it, but like I think it's pretty clear that that's what's happening is like it's not just a retelling.
Luke Neverisky: base.
Tyram: It's key moments very conspicuously are being changed. But
Walden Briarhelm: sure.
Tyram: yeah. Oh, hey Martha. Did you ever talk to Toeer about
Ellis Taylor: No, I didn't. But I was just looking at them
Tyram: origin
Ellis Taylor: because I forgot about that. Toeer or Toeer
Tyram: feed?
Ellis Taylor: Taylor said that he didn't think that I had an origin feet on
Christopher Hooper: Well, that's quite possible because you really
Ellis Taylor: there. my
Christopher Hooper: f***** up your uh transition to your transition to the updated rule set. I would
Ellis Taylor: character.
Christopher Hooper: imagine uh may have involved forgetting your origin
Ellis Taylor: I
Christopher Hooper: fee. I can take a look. Your internet is garbage right now, Ellis.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah,
Walden Briarhelm: So there
Christopher Hooper: garbage. So, you need to take
Tyram: Is she
Christopher Hooper: that internet back out and show it
Ellis Taylor: there. Okay,
Tyram: still here? There she
Luke Neverisky: it's
Ellis Taylor: everyone froze for me for a second. What did you
Walden Briarhelm: is
Christopher Hooper: something. Yeah,
Ellis Taylor: say? No, it's
Luke Neverisky: Yeah,
Christopher Hooper: we were talking about how your internet's garbage.
Ellis Taylor: not. His face is
Christopher Hooper: You literally just proved it.
Ellis Taylor: garbage.
Tyram: is.
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Um, so I'm gonna I'm going to put you on blast by presenting me and your character character builder right now. All right.
Ellis Taylor: What is this? I can't see
Christopher Hooper: So, you're missing
Luke Neverisky: that your internet sucks.
Christopher Hooper: this. You can't see
Ellis Taylor: anything. What is all that
Tyram: It's
Christopher Hooper: anything. It's on DND
Ellis Taylor: stuff? All right, I blame
Tyram: easier if she could she could just add an origin fee without doing the rest of it if that's
Christopher Hooper: Beyond.
Ellis Taylor: trying. Where is
Tyram: all if that would be easier.
Christopher Hooper: Uh,
Walden Briarhelm: Does Liliana have the
Christopher Hooper: origin
Walden Briarhelm: fa touch
Luke Neverisky: He just not or I didn't
Christopher Hooper: feet. Oh, let's see. Is that the Oh, it's
Walden Briarhelm: tattoo?
Luke Neverisky: give
Christopher Hooper: this. Is Is that what you're talking about,
Ellis Taylor: that?
Tyram: Um, yeah, I guess so. Um, if she just goes to like add
Christopher Hooper: Taylor?
Tyram: feeds like we did earlier when you just gave us a free feed. I saw the origin feats were in there if you just wanted to do that.
Christopher Hooper: Let
Luke Neverisky: It's like manage.
Christopher Hooper: me see. How
Ellis Taylor: I know. That's what
Christopher Hooper: did How does she know if she has her origin feet, though? Do you
Ellis Taylor: I was trying to figure out. It didn't
Tyram: I just looked and she didn't have one. This got
Ellis Taylor: like feel like it didn't prompt me to add
Tyram: started when like uh she was like, "Do you have any feed recommendations?" And I like went and
Ellis Taylor: one.
Tyram: looked. I like, "Okay, I want to see what she already has. I don't recommend something she already has." And I
Christopher Hooper: know?
Tyram: thought, "Oh, she doesn't have an origin feat." So, if you just go to her character sheet and like go to the feats, I think you just add the feet. You don't have to do the rest of
Luke Neverisky: Crazy. I can take this.
Christopher Hooper: I don't have to do the rest of
Ellis Taylor: I mean, I just did that
Tyram: it. Like yeah, I mean you're going to manage
Luke Neverisky: I
Christopher Hooper: it,
Ellis Taylor: under feeds. I added lucky, but I was trying to figure out like I
Tyram: feeding. Oh, okay. Never mind.
Ellis Taylor: didn't see anything prompting
Tyram: I guess
Ellis Taylor: me
Tyram: you're Yeah, you're using the old background
Christopher Hooper: but
Tyram: stuff which didn't have origin feats. So yeah, Lucky is really good though.
Christopher Hooper: Well, let me just uh pick up
Luke Neverisky: don't
Christopher Hooper: Lucky. Oh, I guess I'll just pick up Lucky
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: then. Um, cool. It looks like um no one but
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Ellis uh leveled up to
Tyram: I
Christopher Hooper: eight.
Walden Briarhelm: I
Luke Neverisky: I
Justin Hale: All right.
Christopher Hooper: Let's see. Who am I missing? I'm
Tyram: did. Yeah. So, who
Luke Neverisky: did.
Christopher Hooper: missing Helisana, who's dead, and El
Tyram: cares? He's not here.
Christopher Hooper: Smith, who's not here. All right. All right. Well, then never
Tyram: Well, I I I mean, I'm waiting for the apology,
Walden Briarhelm: tried.
Justin Hale: What I'm what I'm hearing
[00:10:00]
Christopher Hooper: mind. You'll never get it. Not for
Ellis Taylor: Oh my
Justin Hale: is
Christopher Hooper: me. Um, I guess I'll deactivate
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, I think
Christopher Hooper: Hana or at least delete her.
Ellis Taylor: god.
Luke Neverisky: so. You can have it delete
Ellis Taylor: Hold on,
Tyram: but I mean, Helis was part of the gang for a while. I feel like she deserves her place
Luke Neverisky: me.
Tyram: in the in the fallen heroes uh thing there at the
Justin Hale: everybody
Christopher Hooper: Hey.
Tyram: bottom, you know.
Walden Briarhelm: As a quick review where we left
Ellis Taylor: Mr.
Walden Briarhelm: off, the gang is still very much in a confusion about who this new person
Tyram: To my knowledge, we're still hanging out at the battlefield. We haven't even
Walden Briarhelm: is,
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Tyram: like gone else
Walden Briarhelm: right? Everybody's just like, "So, what are
Luke Neverisky: Yeah,
Christopher Hooper: Mhm.
Walden Briarhelm: we looking at exactly?" And kind of piecing it together.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah.
Walden Briarhelm: Sounds like there's part of the
Christopher Hooper: So, anyone want to give a um recap of what
Tyram: yet.
Luke Neverisky: another again. All
Christopher Hooper: happened? Okay, go
Luke Neverisky: right. So, crying one
Walden Briarhelm: picture.
Luke Neverisky: was being a b**** and uh really really strong and hurting everyone and all his minions uh were f****** us up.
Christopher Hooper: ahead.
Luke Neverisky: Um um we were definitely spread really thin um amongst the ravers and praying one and then um and then patrons started to get involved and wreck her s***. Um and uh she started blasting her teammates because the patron was assuming direct control if you know the reference. And uh uh let's see what
Christopher Hooper: Your bases belong to
Walden Briarhelm: uh uh
Luke Neverisky: else.
Walden Briarhelm: uh to be clear, you you
Luke Neverisky: Um so battle ensued and then somebody had a stroke
Walden Briarhelm: attacked Ma several times. And the re
Luke Neverisky: of I did. I
Christopher Hooper: me.
Walden Briarhelm: listening, it was amazing how many times you ended up having to shoot
Luke Neverisky: rolled a
Christopher Hooper: Mhm.
Walden Briarhelm: it with a
Christopher Hooper: Honestly, with in hindsight, I shouldn't have even let you attack because Ma had
Luke Neverisky: D6. That's
Christopher Hooper: become enthralled and thus was on your side.
Walden Briarhelm: blast. Worked out
Christopher Hooper: But I realized that an hour after
Walden Briarhelm: well.
Luke Neverisky: true. Um, so then the fight ensued and then someone had the stroke of genius. I think it was was
Christopher Hooper: session
Luke Neverisky: it uh Ellsworth? I think someone had the idea to
Tyram: uh that was a brew I
Luke Neverisky: cast shatter on the speakers
Christopher Hooper: That was Brew. Ellsworth was definitely focused on the speakers, which I thought was great. But yeah, Brew then then once he got
Tyram: believe.
Luke Neverisky: which we
Christopher Hooper: focused, he started making
Luke Neverisky: started making business and um they put the speakers in a weakened state and then Silus who had his intelligence drains to basically drooling on the floor Um yeah
Christopher Hooper: business one,
Ellis Taylor: It's
Luke Neverisky: um he stumbled on over to uh speaker lands a finishing
Christopher Hooper: right?
Luke Neverisky: blow which um was a great move. Um but not before um Alisana was basically killed and went into some weird inner dialogue thing with the uh we learned to be Lana who was uh Alisana her before she became Ellis. Um, and then just when things looked really dire and uh people were getting downed left and right, this f****** manifestation of tear comes in and uh springs Liliana and Alison loose from this like inner mind prison thing. Uh, and then
Ellis Taylor: It's coming back.
Luke Neverisky: um the battle seems to be over after that and the ravers carried Hana off and was like, I got this s***. Don't worry, guys. And um presumably they're going to go party and do some things and probably probably avoid war against Belgia. Uh we go um that sound
Christopher Hooper: I
Luke Neverisky: right? What did I
Christopher Hooper: think so. I think that
Luke Neverisky: miss? All right,
Christopher Hooper: that's most of it. Um, any any other details anyone else
Tyram: Um, I guess it's
Luke Neverisky: cool.
Tyram: worth pointing out that Crang one is still alive. Like we never actually beat them.
Luke Neverisky: That just
Christopher Hooper: noticed? It's true.
Justin Hale: And he threw a little
Christopher Hooper: Um,
Tyram: Um,
Luke Neverisky: for a little
Justin Hale: fit when we blew up his
Christopher Hooper: so, um, yeah, he's really mad. This is his nightclub and he's a little
Tyram: I mean, you should probably also be mad that like Helisana is like the new teacher's pet, it
Christopher Hooper: baby. Yeah, I guess he should be cring, too.
Tyram: seems. What a
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, honestly.
Justin Hale: Does that mean Helisan is cring one
Tyram: loser.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Look at me. I'm great now.
Christopher Hooper: I think so. Helisana crank
Justin Hale: though?
Christopher Hooper: one. And before your eyes, Helisana turns into a giant
Tyram: I guess before we like get into the like RP and everything, um I just wanted to ask you Luke, um do you want us to try to save Helisana or are you done with the
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: baby. Oh, such a great
Luke Neverisky: So, such a great question. Um, I was thinking about it
Christopher Hooper: question.
Tyram: character?
Luke Neverisky: and uh it's like really hard to shift personas mid uh mid session and like go from Helisana to not Helisana. So I've had some time to think on it. Um so yes, so I've given it some thought as far as like through Liliana's lenses and lens. Um and I think that she will have seen and noticed that Alisana does indeed or has some shredder does care about the park and so therefore she is worth attempting to
Tyram: Okay. Well, that is uh good
Luke Neverisky: save.
Tyram: to know for our planning of what to do next. Um, and honestly, I love the idea of
Luke Neverisky: Yes. Yes.
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. What is the
Tyram: creating like baby metal uh Liliana
Luke Neverisky: Yes. We
Ellis Taylor: definition of safe? Is it bringing them back together? Is it letting them be
Tyram: like
Luke Neverisky: can make Baby
Ellis Taylor: their own people?
Luke Neverisky: Metal. I don't know. But it seems I mean right now she's like # dead
Christopher Hooper: and
Ellis Taylor: Like
Luke Neverisky: or partially or something. patron did something s***** to her. Uh
Christopher Hooper: heat.
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Tyram: Well, actually that was another question from last
Luke Neverisky: whether it's her, I don't know,
Tyram: week that um might be worth knowing.
Luke Neverisky: but
Tyram: Um, are Helisana and Liliana incomplete parts of the same person or are they like they're each their own full actualized person at this
Christopher Hooper: Uh, all
Luke Neverisky: I sure can.
Christopher Hooper: right. Luke, can you answer
Luke Neverisky: Um so yeah um
Christopher Hooper: this?
Tyram: point?
Luke Neverisky: the the idea is that um Liliana was like um basically thinking about the time when um uh basically Liliana is a manifestation of um um of what she was prior. So she is her own person created
Ellis Taylor: First of all,
Luke Neverisky: from um basically as a means of like anchoring herself to what she was if that makes sense. uh she went through some drastic change and um Oiana is like the you know part of herself kind of that uh she left behind
Ellis Taylor: might be
Luke Neverisky: and so I don't know it's kind of like a I don't know would you call it like a
Ellis Taylor: right. You believe
Christopher Hooper: Um, let me look
Ellis Taylor: me?
Christopher Hooper: up exactly what faximile
Luke Neverisky: faximile yeah
Justin Hale: It's when you send a fax.
Christopher Hooper: means.
Ellis Taylor: with with a simile written on
Luke Neverisky: she backed herself
Christopher Hooper: Um so uh so um basically the uh
Tyram: Please
Christopher Hooper: Helisana would keep thinking to herself like what would hap have happened if
Ellis Taylor: it. You should
Tyram: watch.
Christopher Hooper: she didn't do what she did to meet her patron
Ellis Taylor: not go
Christopher Hooper: originally and eventually that idea grew into its own being inside her her head and it became so strong mixed with all the other uh warlock magic going on that it became a a fully separate entity, an entity that was her if she had never gone um to meet her patron. And so
Ellis Taylor: Circus.
Christopher Hooper: yes, they are fully separate.
Ellis Taylor: So it's like
Christopher Hooper: um
Ellis Taylor: severance basically to some
Christopher Hooper: entities.
Ellis Taylor: degree. Well, I mean
Christopher Hooper: Uh no, not really
Ellis Taylor: like well it's like a fully separate being that was occupying the same bodies just now that they're split in
Christopher Hooper: because it's like severance
Ellis Taylor: two.
Tyram: Okay.
Walden Briarhelm: Cool.
Christopher Hooper: if um they became two different
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. I mean they are two different people in so
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: people and like
Ellis Taylor: just in the same
Walden Briarhelm: Feeling like this is like Majin Buu.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, but they like have different they have
Ellis Taylor: body.
Christopher Hooper: different bodies and like
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. So, they each have a different driver
Christopher Hooper: um Yeah, the
Luke Neverisky: blade.
Christopher Hooper: innie the innie still has memories of before they were an innie.
Walden Briarhelm: I don't know if it got a clear answer last time. So, I wanted to bring up a question that I think Taylor asked in the middle of the uh combat and it was or in the decision-making. It was uh
Ellis Taylor: Mhm. Nice. Nice.
Walden Briarhelm: is the Helisana part that has left the scene currently. Is she like a murderous version of
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Ellis Taylor: Oh
[00:20:00]
Walden Briarhelm: Helisana? because we've seen
Ellis Taylor: my god. Look at
Walden Briarhelm: Helisana uh Unchained or however we want to describe that and she was like I'll attack part or I'll attack my allies and murders on the table etc. Like is that what this Helisana is
Christopher Hooper: Uh, what do
Ellis Taylor: this.
Luke Neverisky: Sorry, I was taking a
Christopher Hooper: you think,
Walden Briarhelm: about?
Luke Neverisky: drink. Um, so I think that is like trying to think of an analogy here. It's like her warlock patron got cranked up to 11 uh in a moment
Christopher Hooper: Luke?
Luke Neverisky: of, you know, like I was almost dead. She was almost dead. And so I think that was an opportune moment for the patron to again assume direct control. Um, like we saw we saw earlier that like it had attempted to make me like try to shoot Silus or something, but I was resisting. Um, so I'm assuming that this
Ellis Taylor: What
Luke Neverisky: is like, you know, can almost
Ellis Taylor: you got?
Luke Neverisky: like I don't know, possession or something. Um, but I would say this is like more like basic 3 to 11
Christopher Hooper: And one
Luke Neverisky: basically.
Christopher Hooper: aspect is uh Helisana always had Liliana in her consciousness like to bounce ideas off of and she no longer has that with
Walden Briarhelm: Okay. What is it?
Christopher Hooper: her. Um so maybe there were times where
Tyram: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: Liliana talked her into something one way or
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Sure. She was born out of like Yeah. angering,
Tyram: Okay. So, she's like a she's like a
Walden Briarhelm: So
Luke Neverisky: grounding, whatever.
Christopher Hooper: another.
Tyram: hide without a jackal at this point,
Walden Briarhelm: some that's
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, that's a good way to put it.
Tyram: maybe. All right. So
Walden Briarhelm: perfect. Uh if
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it is perfect
Tyram: I guess like as like like the bottom line question I guess is
Walden Briarhelm: if you had to pick a
Tyram: this like do you want us to save Helana or can Helana even be
Luke Neverisky: actually. I don't know the answer to the the can be, but I think if I were to role play and think about it, I think that my character would want to try something to salvage
Tyram: saved? Okay. Well, I guess that that would be a good uh thing for us to
Luke Neverisky: her and
Tyram: have a conversation about in character then.
Ellis Taylor: What about the United
Christopher Hooper: Um, I will say, um, I think your characters
Ellis Taylor: States?
Christopher Hooper: would grasp this, but a, um, just a like mono ammono, like your team versus Helisana. um a direct confrontation
Luke Neverisky: f******
Christopher Hooper: would not go well. Um so you you might have like I I think maybe short term there might be you know some deals you could make to at least like avoid
Ellis Taylor: Okay, stop.
Christopher Hooper: catastrophe and and push this till later and
Ellis Taylor: Help me
Christopher Hooper: plant seeds. Um maybe there are some like clever things you could do to like still get some aims without confrontation. Um, and feel free to be clever, but I think if you just like go and try to beat the s*** out of Helisana, you will uh you will uh Yeah,
Ellis Taylor: please.
Tyram: Well, that's why we have to channel
Walden Briarhelm: I'm
Christopher Hooper: exactly. Yeah,
Tyram: the power of
Walden Briarhelm: freezing.
Christopher Hooper: exactly. Um, yeah, that's a great idea. Uh, it's one Luke also floated, which I love. Um, and that is a quest that, uh, you
Tyram: Joel. I originally was
Christopher Hooper: all should seek further down the line.
Tyram: thinking Lenny T, but I'm like would never go for that.
Christopher Hooper: I was reading through the whole whole paragraph expecting the last line to be Lenny T and was was pleased
Ellis Taylor: Oops.
Justin Hale: As was I when you said Joel, I
Tyram: My first thought was Lenny T, but then I'm
Luke Neverisky: Nice.
Justin Hale: was visibly
Tyram: like, Toeer cannot in good
Ellis Taylor: Is
Tyram: conscience not put glaze on Joel here, you
Christopher Hooper: pleased
Tyram: know? All
Christopher Hooper: I don't know if you've seen my track record. I'm just as likely to kill Joel as as help you.
Justin Hale: upset.
Christopher Hooper: So,
Ellis Taylor: your welcome?
Christopher Hooper: but um but I still love the idea. Um and it's probably something that you can explore in
Luke Neverisky: Hell
Christopher Hooper: Greyport where Joel was last seen alive.
Ellis Taylor: Watch your
Christopher Hooper: Um amongst other things. So, or you could go
Tyram: right.
Christopher Hooper: to his hometown or you could visit his friends. I think these are all good avenues uh going forward. Um but that is all in the future. Something to think about
Ellis Taylor: heart.
Tyram: All right. Well, then we I guess in the short term then we
Luke Neverisky: yeah.
Justin Hale: No, we're doing it
Christopher Hooper: later. Let's talk
Ellis Taylor: Thank
Tyram: need to Okay. So, three things
Justin Hale: now.
Tyram: that could burn down High Forge, I guess, that we got to deal with.
Ellis Taylor: you.
Tyram: Uh, one is the Iron Claws. We already have
Christopher Hooper: about
Tyram: the like converging army plan to take care of them. So
Ellis Taylor: Stupid
Tyram: let's I guess for now let's assume we can manage to do that. Um then we have the
Luke Neverisky: yet.
Christopher Hooper: you to that point I think you are beginning to have the piece of puzzle pieces together that like uh the ironclaws are currently the scaffolding that's keeping this city like together
Tyram: dragons.
Christopher Hooper: in a really f***** up way in their like f***** up way. Um, and so basically if you remove that scaffolding, you you need to put something else in in there to
Tyram: Yeah.
Luke Neverisky: makes
Christopher Hooper: replace
Tyram: Um, is Olivia Cooper so well loved amongst the population that she could like stabilize the the populace for the short
Christopher Hooper: it. Yeah, let's
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, you just want to drop me off
Tyram: term? I don't know.
Walden Briarhelm: You're
Christopher Hooper: lose another
Ellis Taylor: behind.
Tyram: Actually, my thought was actually that uh Silas
Christopher Hooper: character.
Tyram: calls in his girlfriend to like manage the city because if she can deal
Luke Neverisky: sense.
Tyram: with um with
Walden Briarhelm: iron.
Tyram: uh oh god, what was his name? The the s******* who runs the casino um who's like the descendant of the other s******* that grew the giant
Christopher Hooper: Oh, I don't know. I didn't take any notes during that
Tyram: chicken. But if she can deal with that guy, she can manage a city. So,
Ellis Taylor: Marvin. Marvin. Junior.
Tyram: like actually was my thought on that. That's it. Yeah,
Christopher Hooper: session.
Ellis Taylor: Junior. Junior.
Tyram: Marvin. Yeah, I made up the
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Oh, Marvin. All
Tyram: name Marvin originally, but I you have kept that character
Christopher Hooper: right. You still got
Tyram: alive far longer than he's been alive in my
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Ellis Taylor: Junior. You stuck
Tyram: mind. But, um, yeah. Anyway, um, okay. So I guess yeah, we need to think about like who feels the
Christopher Hooper: it.
Tyram: who fills the power vacuum, but we also got to deal with the dragons
Ellis Taylor: out.
Tyram: and the ravers.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, dragons are
Tyram: So the dragons, we do have like a
Luke Neverisky: out. What? Two days
Tyram: Hail Mary we can throw with the orb. We have not tried to use it yet. Apparently every time we do try to use it, it could potentially be bad. But after they take care of the iron
Luke Neverisky: out.
Tyram: claws, like we could try to use the orb to be like, "Okay, dragons, go away." And
Christopher Hooper: Yep.
Tyram: just like order them to like go back where they came
Luke Neverisky: That is a panic
Tyram: from. I can't think of anything else we could
Luke Neverisky: button for sure that we can pull.
Ellis Taylor: Okay, take it
Tyram: possibly do to overcome an army of
Luke Neverisky: Yeah,
Ellis Taylor: back.
Tyram: dragons.
Christopher Hooper: Um, I will I will float. Um, are the dragons your
Tyram: I mean, we got off to
Luke Neverisky: agree. I mean, they have our Bugatti,
Tyram: a bad start. That's for damn sure. They were like nuking the city as
Luke Neverisky: so
Christopher Hooper: enemy?
Tyram: we were running away from it. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: True. It's
Tyram: So, I want to call them our
Justin Hale: If we gave them my Bugatti and they're still our
Luke Neverisky: There's
Justin Hale: enemies, we're torching this
Christopher Hooper: true. I think y'all are I think in in their book y'all are fairly
Ellis Taylor: Hello.
Tyram: friends.
Luke Neverisky: no Oh, well. All right
Justin Hale: place. I mean, we gave him a
Ellis Taylor: Hello.
Tyram: Yeah.
Walden Briarhelm: Oh
Luke Neverisky: then.
Justin Hale: million dollar car. We better
Christopher Hooper: chill. Yeah.
Tyram: Oh, and then we also have to deal with
Walden Briarhelm: s***.
Justin Hale: chill.
Christopher Hooper: Um, so
Tyram: the ravers, which maybe we can like
Christopher Hooper: just just tossing that out there. Just tossing that
Tyram: convince Helisana to take the ravers somewhere
Christopher Hooper: out.
Tyram: else or to at least
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, like post
Ellis Taylor: How did we get How do we get into those
Tyram: like sequester themselves maybe for a
Ellis Taylor: other dimensions? Can we just send them to like a party dimension until
Tyram: while.
Ellis Taylor: we're ready to
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. H. Maybe with a
Ellis Taylor: deal?
Luke Neverisky: postal.
Christopher Hooper: a space telescope or a space transmitter
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Tyram: Maybe maybe we got to the other dimension by visiting uh Red's
Ellis Taylor: Oh
Tyram: hometown, but I don't know. Maybe
Christopher Hooper: thing. Stellar radio. That's what it is. Sorry. Stellar
Tyram: I Okay, but yeah, that might be our best
Christopher Hooper: radio.
Tyram: bet there is to try to just get um Helisana to go away,
Ellis Taylor: yeah.
Tyram: right? At least like tell her like temporarily or something until we can get our ship together enough to deal with
Christopher Hooper: Hey,
Ellis Taylor: Oh,
Christopher Hooper: I wonder where if that's where your girlfriend comes
Ellis Taylor: hey. Just send them to the Lotus. She can have a
Tyram: her.
Christopher Hooper: in. Ra Raver
Ellis Taylor: standing or Helisana can just have like a standing show at the Lo at the casino. Yeah. And
Christopher Hooper: Planet. Oh, like at Las Vegas.
Ellis Taylor: then the Ravers just stay there. Yes. Okay.

[00:30:00]
Christopher Hooper: like floating around and ravers are basically like following her um almost like a like an a singular organism uh with Crang kind of mulling around like a sad puppy.

Um well, so what what you actually see is um there are gathered like food stuffs that were originally like stores for the aqua farms that used to be down here um that they've repurposed into like an ery. Um, and so they basically just have these like vats of like um, barley and um, ale uh, that they've kind of like built tables

Justin Hale: Bru's already got

Justin Hale: a a mobile pot cooking full of
Tyram: himself.
Justin Hale: stew in preparation for the

Luke Neverisky: just uh just just a little bit.
Ellis Taylor: Um, she's a

Justin Hale: nutritious.
Walden Briarhelm: cup of the brown if I
Justin Hale: Of course you
Walden Briarhelm: could. I'm excited to try your
Luke Neverisky: Um, did you make this all
Justin Hale: can. Rounds for
Walden Briarhelm: regional take on brown.
Ellis Taylor: What do you mean regional? Brown
Walden Briarhelm: I will I will take that mug
Ellis Taylor: is more than just this

Ellis Taylor: guy. Oh
Tyram: Oh,
Walden Briarhelm: tropical areas there's many type of brown I
Luke Neverisky: yourself

Ellis Taylor: lord. Oh
Tyram: brown is a dive bar staple. You're just too used to your uptown pizzeras. I
Ellis Taylor: god. I mean, they're not
Walden Briarhelm: guess.
Ellis Taylor: wrong. Olivia reaches to the top shelf, grabs them for
Tyram: guess
Justin Hale: I
Ellis Taylor: herself.
Justin Hale: try to I try to to to grapple the alcohol that you grabbed out of your hand to give you brown.
Ellis Taylor: She does not let you take the alcohol from her
Justin Hale: You don't You don't want You don't

Ellis Taylor: like honey. No means no.
Tyram: No one has you in
Justin Hale: brown.
Tyram: you.
Walden Briarhelm: I'm really starting to notice the differences uh between Helisana and
Luke Neverisky: know, I just I just don't think
Walden Briarhelm: Liliana.
Luke Neverisky: that you should force alcohol in her. I just don't It doesn't
Ellis Taylor: Okay.
Walden Briarhelm: not force alcohol. This sounds very
Luke Neverisky: seem very neighborly.
Justin Hale: Well, first of all, I'm not forcing alcohol. I am I am offering her better alcohol than she
Ellis Taylor: Now you are trying to make me drink
Justin Hale: has.
Ellis Taylor: brown and I do not want
Justin Hale: I'm I'm trying to give you a meal with
Ellis Taylor: it. No, that's that's I'm not I do not want a full stomach on this alcohol.
Walden Briarhelm: different.
Luke Neverisky: Bro, I'm sure
Justin Hale: alcohol. What's the best type of
Luke Neverisky: your brown I'm sure your brown is delicious. I'm
Ellis Taylor: Okay.
Walden Briarhelm: Out of curiosity, at this point, Ma finally takes a a sip of his cup of brown, and you
Justin Hale: alcohol?
Walden Briarhelm: see his eyes kind of light up for a moment in shock of uh just what he's uh taken into his enjoyment. And it is a very very strong beverage.
Luke Neverisky: sure
Walden Briarhelm: It is something almost dwarven in nature. It's so uh
Ellis Taylor: No, not yet. We'll be ready for
Walden Briarhelm: potent. And uh he lets out like oh my I see
Ellis Taylor: it.
Walden Briarhelm: that you have a very different recipe of brown meaning uh is typically used to his like citrusy fruit brown which was just the leftover slaps usually. This is a much stronger
Luke Neverisky: I can see
Walden Briarhelm: stew and liquor brown. Quite shocking but not bad.
Luke Neverisky: ground.
Justin Hale: See? You
Christopher Hooper: It's at this point you see April Bonal, Casey Bones, Bernardo um crawl out of the sewer pipe you came from. Says, "Hey, Yola." Bernardo says, "Hey, what's up? Y'all couldn't wait
Justin Hale: see? Oh,
Christopher Hooper: for us? Uh, we brought the pizza. Y'all

Walden Briarhelm: die.
Justin Hale: Brown. What? Wine? No. No. That
Walden Briarhelm: Oh, speaking

Walden Briarhelm: of a big bite, could we uh have some of that pizza now?
Christopher Hooper: Oh yeah. Hey Casey, you got it? Yeah, dude. Here it is. Hey, so um did y'all take care of Crang already? That's uh April piping
Tyram: Okay. So, um, a lot's
Luke Neverisky: kind
Christopher Hooper: up. Wait, who's that chick? two points
Tyram: happened.
Luke Neverisky: of
Christopher Hooper: to uh
Tyram: You remember Helisana from earlier? The one who was uh trying to snort
Christopher Hooper: Liliana. Yeah. Super
Luke Neverisky: hi cheese. That's all
Christopher Hooper: spooky. Yeah. Yeah, that's
Tyram: cheese? Well, um
Luke Neverisky: right.
Justin Hale: I forgot about
Christopher Hooper: right. Yeah. The good
Tyram: this is like her from junior high, I guess.
Christopher Hooper: stuff. Oh, okay.
Luke Neverisky: Junior high
Justin Hale: that.
Tyram: Okay, so Alisana has been
Luke Neverisky: with Yes.
Christopher Hooper: So where did Junior

Luke Neverisky: up for Sorry. Uh, it's
Christopher Hooper: That's what it is,
Ellis Taylor: check up check. All
Luke Neverisky: y ck. Yeah, that's right. No. Y c h I think is how spelled.
Tyram: Okay, so
Christopher Hooper: right? Oh, okay. You
Tyram: Eek, the malevolent entity that uh was empowering Crane 1, has uh taken over Helisana
Ellis Taylor: right.
Tyram: instead. And this is the part of Helisana that they spat
Christopher Hooper: check
Tyram: back
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, you know, we had a little bit of a
Ellis Taylor: We
Tyram: out.
[00:40:00]
Luke Neverisky: conversation and uh they don't know what's going on with her now, but um I'm here now and uh yeah, you know, she's she's all doing her doom and gloom and well, that's just not my vibe.
Christopher Hooper: Um,
Tyram: Okay, so good news and bad
Christopher Hooper: okay.
Tyram: news. Good news is that it looks like Helisana is still a game for uh kicking out the Iron Claws. Bad news probably not going to get up to good stuff
Luke Neverisky: No, she's Yeah, she pulled
Christopher Hooper: Um, well, I want to
Tyram: afterwards.
Luke Neverisky: it.
Christopher Hooper: kill Crang One for what they've done to me.
Tyram: That is still totally on the
Justin Hale: Yeah, she
Luke Neverisky: No, she probably
Justin Hale: probably doesn't care about
Christopher Hooper: Who?
Tyram: agenda. If it makes me feel any better, at least right now, Crang
Luke Neverisky: doesn't. Oh, S probably doesn't. She She didn't
Justin Hale: him.
Christopher Hooper: Oh,
Tyram: is uh being kind of led around like a
Christopher Hooper: okay. Um, okay.
Tyram: b****.
Luke Neverisky: care. That's the way to put
Christopher Hooper: I guess uh I guess it'll be more vulnerable.
Tyram: Oh yeah, he's not empowered by uh e eject
Luke Neverisky: it.
Tyram: anymore. So he should be much easier to kill if we find him
Christopher Hooper: All right. So, Casey, the poison pizza still works.
Justin Hale: Oh, wait. Hold
Christopher Hooper: Wait. Uh, it wasn't this pizza, right? No. No, it wasn't. We haven't applied
Luke Neverisky: He f****.
Justin Hale: on. You trying to poison us? I start pulling out

Walden Briarhelm: Oh, I do not want to have poison
Justin Hale: daggers.
Tyram: again.
Christopher Hooper: okay. No, no, we haven't put the poison in yet. Um, that was part of the plan. We're still in planning
Tyram: Okay, so we need to get our heads together and
Luke Neverisky: Well,
Tyram: come up with a plan to confront Helisana after the Iron Claws are dealt
Walden Briarhelm: pizza.
Luke Neverisky: that's right.
Christopher Hooper: process. You said wait.
Ellis Taylor: Wait, who are you trying to
Christopher Hooper: Uh, retired detective Olivia
Ellis Taylor: poison?
Tyram: with.
Christopher Hooper: Cooper. Um, most of the ravers, but especially Crang
Ellis Taylor: Are you What is your poison do? Yeah. No, we're
Christopher Hooper: one, kill
Ellis Taylor: not doing
Tyram: I don't mind if they poison crank
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, pump. All right.
Christopher Hooper: them.
Ellis Taylor: that. Well, we'll discuss that one maybe, but definitely not the ravers. They're just children in a thrral.
Christopher Hooper: They're they're goners. Their mind's
Ellis Taylor: Um, no they're
Justin Hale: It's
Christopher Hooper: gone. I've seen I've been in those vessels. I know what it does to
Ellis Taylor: not. No,
Tyram: one.
Christopher Hooper: you. It f**** with your head. They they'd be They're
Ellis Taylor: cuz No, cuz when we were fighting them, once you hit them,
Christopher Hooper: probably begging for
Ellis Taylor: they're like, "Ah." And just kind of like walked off.
Christopher Hooper: death.
Ellis Taylor: So,
Christopher Hooper: Uh, I haven't seen that happen
Ellis Taylor: no. Oh, you're just Okay,
Christopher Hooper: when I try to fight
Ellis Taylor: honey.
Justin Hale: Are you actually trying to fight them or are you too
Christopher Hooper: them. Well, the three of us cornered one of them
Justin Hale: weak? That didn't answer my question.
Christopher Hooper: and uh, well, it didn't go
Ellis Taylor: I give you a second
Luke Neverisky: I'm sure you tried your
Justin Hale: Are you Are you weak? Are you weak,
Christopher Hooper: well.
Ellis Taylor: chance.
Justin Hale: Arcel?
Christopher Hooper: I mean, I'm
Luke Neverisky: best. Yes, it's
Justin Hale: All right, I look over at the party. She's a
Christopher Hooper: fine. What is
Ellis Taylor: You think this is
Justin Hale: weak
Christopher Hooper: it? You're a weak
Ellis Taylor: just what?
Justin Hale: person. I I know this. I'm not
Christopher Hooper: person. Oh,
Justin Hale: advertising that. I'm
Christopher Hooper: okay. I'm not
Walden Briarhelm: Would it make any sense
Luke Neverisky: fine.
Justin Hale: not. You thought of
Christopher Hooper: either.
Walden Briarhelm: if we just poisoned Kang one and avoided all the
Justin Hale: this?
Ellis Taylor: Just stay with me.
Walden Briarhelm: other
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. I mean, if they can eat a whole pizza by themselves,
Walden Briarhelm: casualties? Uh, he is a big baby. I do not
Luke Neverisky: Oh, that's so much
Walden Briarhelm: know if he would be able to do
Justin Hale: You could challenge him to
Ellis Taylor: It's
Justin Hale: eating contest.
Christopher Hooper: But then you would have to eat the
Luke Neverisky: pizza.
Justin Hale: Perhaps you give him poison pizza. You give us non-poison
Christopher Hooper: pizza,
Tyram: Brew's eating a lot of disgusting s***. He might be able to
Justin Hale: pizza. We have whole
Tyram: develop an immunity to the
Luke Neverisky: I
Justin Hale: That is true. If your poison is
Christopher Hooper: too.
Tyram: poison.
Justin Hale: as weak as you are, I could probably handle
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Okay. Yeah, sure. Um, why don't you challenge Crank one to a pizza eating contest and we'll poison both
Luke Neverisky: have that
Justin Hale: it. I mean, you still don't have to poison
Christopher Hooper: pizzas?
Justin Hale: both pizzas. You could not poison mine. It sounds like you want to poison me
Walden Briarhelm: Yes, you could do
Luke Neverisky: sound. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Well, what if he switches
Walden Briarhelm: that. We have to keep you safe. Brut, do you really think you could do
Justin Hale: now.
Christopher Hooper: pizza? This
Walden Briarhelm: this?
Christopher Hooper: is only going to work one
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, bro. It's not worth you being poisoned. It just seems that seems more
Walden Briarhelm: I
Luke Neverisky: risky, you know.
Christopher Hooper: time. Don't sign up for this unless you're willing to go the whole way.
Justin Hale: I can go farther than you

Tyram: give uh can you give April this
Ellis Taylor: could give April disadvantage. creatures that roll against it. Says
Christopher Hooper: All
Ellis Taylor: against you though, so it might just be focused on
Justin Hale: Okay. I like the collective view.
Ellis Taylor: me.
Tyram: advantage?
Christopher Hooper: right. Yeah, I think that's what it
Justin Hale: Um, I'm not I'm actually not going to use Splash of Genius because I think it would actually be funny if I lost. I rolled an 18 on die though with a zero. So, 18

Luke Neverisky: And it just heals more than

Luke Neverisky: healing. Oh, it's
Justin Hale: Oh, good.
Christopher Hooper: Uh, oh, she does have a

Tyram: me
Justin Hale: Yeah.
Ellis Taylor: now.
Christopher Hooper: unconscious and it is her last uh second level spell. All right. Um, cool. And so um so yeah, y'all get to the great hall and you see many interesting things happening. Uh the great hall is very busy. Uh firstly, you see uh ravers um in like like a perfectly coordinated um team of roies uh setting up a stage in the middle of the hall. Um there's a a dwarven woman with sheet white hair instructing the workers around the stage to move speakers and
Ellis Taylor: Please
Tyram: Is it
Christopher Hooper: monitors and pyrochnics.
Ellis Taylor: accept this from
Christopher Hooper: Um, no. Uh, it is another woman that you recognize as um Oh, I just lost Sandra

Luke Neverisky: Sanders Fox. Yeah.
Ellis Taylor: help
Tyram: past.
Christopher Hooper: Talks. Yeah. And there's
Ellis Taylor: Today's day
Christopher Hooper: that work going on. And then you see another group, another activity of laborers building these frames and scaffoldings along the apartment exteriors. And then um even more at the end of the hall sits a great stone and iron door that leads
Ellis Taylor: birthday
Christopher Hooper: to the forgeart. And at the gateway of the forge heart, um there are patrols and importantly there are two large constructs um that appear to be playing cards and listening to music. Um the whole uh the hall is lined with um floor to cavern ceiling uh continuous apartments that have been carved out of the rock which includes Olivia's apartment at the far end of the hall which is close to the entrance of the
Ellis Taylor: close to the doors in the construct. or the other other side.
Christopher Hooper: hall. The opposite end. Yeah,
Ellis Taylor: Okay,
Christopher Hooper: the opposite. Um, and uh, Brew, go ahead and give me a constitution saving

Tyram: poison?
Walden Briarhelm: aura, I I was asking like what color would
Luke Neverisky: a
Christopher Hooper: asked a question.
Walden Briarhelm: Liliana uh define her own aura as just to get a feel for this
Luke Neverisky: question. Oh, definitely like a a
Walden Briarhelm: character. Oh, like an
Luke Neverisky: gold like kind of yellow radiant like an amber. Yeah,
Tyram: like
Walden Briarhelm: amber.
Luke Neverisky: exactly. Like sunshine.
Walden Briarhelm: Beautiful. Love it. Thank you. Sorry. Back to uh Brew not dying.
Luke Neverisky: Good
Christopher Hooper: All right. So, uh, you just enter
Tyram: sunshine.
Christopher Hooper: a like side alley of the great hall. Um, kind of like in the middle of
Luke Neverisky: question.
Christopher Hooper: the great hall. Um, so, uh, yeah. What direction are you going? Right or left? Um,
Ellis Taylor: I see that
Christopher Hooper: uh, Olivia's apartment is to the
Tyram: But I'll quickly I'll like see Sandra like
Luke Neverisky: Left.
Christopher Hooper: left. All
Ellis Taylor: way.
Tyram: uh coordinating some of the logistics of the uh concert to be like now she does
Christopher Hooper: right. Uh, and you you get a glimpse and she's got
Tyram: it. H that's
Christopher Hooper: these glowing purple eyes.
Tyram: weird. Isn't she old as s***?
Luke Neverisky: What is
Christopher Hooper: Um um yeah, she's
Tyram: Oh, I guess it's not just young people
Luke Neverisky: that
Christopher Hooper: pretty
Tyram: anymore. Maybe it's anyone who loves
Christopher Hooper: old.
Luke Neverisky: thing?
Ellis Taylor: movie.
Christopher Hooper: Um yeah. And um you get to Olivia's apartment and above it you see uh these laborers that are like working on this like you know
Tyram: metal.
Christopher Hooper: how um like when
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: construction workers are like working on a facade or something they'll have like this like scaffolding that like covers the front of a building. It's kind of like that that like sits in front of the building. Um, are y'all uh in dis I assumed y'all
Ellis Taylor: Stupid
Tyram: Yeah, we have our hats in disguise. So, I just
Christopher Hooper: were in your
Tyram: I make myself look like not
Christopher Hooper: disc? Okay.
Ellis Taylor: TV.
Tyram: Silus. Oh s***.
Christopher Hooper: Um, so are y'all putting on any sort of specific
Tyram: Well, no. Liliana would be fine. No one knows what she looks like. So,
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, I don't need
Christopher Hooper: facade?
Tyram: okay. Helisana took the hat of disguise, I assume.
Luke Neverisky: to
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Um, Liliana has has all the same
Ellis Taylor: I don't
Luke Neverisky: That being said,
Christopher Hooper: stuff basically.
Luke Neverisky: yeah, she I would say she doesn't need a disguise because clearly she sort of
Ellis Taylor: think we are not
Luke Neverisky: existed an hour ago.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Um, so what do you think? Like are y'all doing anything specific as as you kind of like walk through here in the
Ellis Taylor: Start.
Tyram: Okay. Um, I guess I want to try to like scout out what kind of defenses the iron forge the iron claws have. Probably looks like they have the golems, but do I like notice any other like
Christopher Hooper: public?
Tyram: guards or anything
[01:10:00]
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. So there are the so the door to the forchart has two sets of patrols and then the hall itself has
Tyram: posted?
Christopher Hooper: um like two basically like uh patrols that like mirror each other in a circle like around the hall. Um uh clockwise. Um, anything else? Um, it's kind of hard to like make
Ellis Taylor: this video.
Christopher Hooper: out who's ironclaw patrol guards and stuff and who's like laborers working on either the uh scaffoldings or the uh stage. Um, so I think it's a little hard to see more than that unless you want to like dig in more more
Ellis Taylor: Um, is there anyone post up
Christopher Hooper: closely.
Ellis Taylor: selling stuff?
Christopher Hooper: selling
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: stuff. Um, you see, um, go ahead and give me a perception check.
Ellis Taylor: 15. I
Christopher Hooper: You see, there are a couple food trucks um that have set up on either side of the hall. Um and uh
Ellis Taylor: got a
Christopher Hooper: one's about halfway between where you came in and uh where your apartment is. Um that you're starting to pass by as you walk to your
Ellis Taylor: friend. Okay. You
Christopher Hooper: apartment. Hi
Ellis Taylor: see you sticking your tongue out, bud? Okay. I was hoping more for to go armor shopping, but that's fine. Hey, what are you doing,
Christopher Hooper: Hello. Oh,

Christopher Hooper: okay. Um, no. Uh, a lot of the like regular commerce has like kind
Ellis Taylor: happened?
Christopher Hooper: of run out of town or been like fully incorporated. Um, cool. So, um, you walk up to your apartment and, uh, you try the door and it is
Ellis Taylor: realm. You pull out my
Christopher Hooper: locked.
Ellis Taylor: key. Unlock the door.
Christopher Hooper: Uhhuh. And you try your key
Ellis Taylor: What
Christopher Hooper: and doesn't
Ellis Taylor: happened to me?
Tyram: I
Walden Briarhelm: Oh

Tyram: Um I got a uh 29.
Christopher Hooper: check. All right. Yeah. Uh you like like I feel like you're a professional so you like get your gloves on and you're like ready to like dig into this and it like instantly pops and like
Luke Neverisky: What is
Christopher Hooper: opens. Um to your own surprise like oh yeah this is just like a residential front door. This is not a
Ellis Taylor: They just changed the
Christopher Hooper: vault. Yeah. They just changed the
Tyram: some normal ass lock.
Luke Neverisky: it?
Christopher Hooper: lock. Um, and it opens. Um, so, uh, yeah, Olivia
Ellis Taylor: locks.
Christopher Hooper: O, most people own just like a floor of these apartments, but Olivia owns the the full apartment. Um, and at the bottom, it actually, um, can you explain there's three floors to this. Can you explain like what each floor would
Ellis Taylor: Mhm. Wait, I only own three. Wait, I
Christopher Hooper: be?
Ellis Taylor: own three floors of the apartment. The apartment building is
Christopher Hooper: The apartment building is three
Ellis Taylor: only Okay. Well, per code, there's no elevator, which is great.
Christopher Hooper: floors.
Ellis Taylor: Um um I mean it's just like
Christopher Hooper: Mhm. And there's only one uh staircase
Ellis Taylor: three.
Christopher Hooper: eress. So, you know, this is not an American
Ellis Taylor: Yes. Well, it's called a point
Christopher Hooper: apartment building that's been made in like uh modern
Ellis Taylor: it's called a point access block, which means there's a maximum of four units per level. So that way we can have a single centralized spare. Okay.
Justin Hale: Ed your
Christopher Hooper: Uh
Tyram: be great over if you could stop mansplaining to
Luke Neverisky: There. Perfect.
Ellis Taylor: Who does multif family
Tyram: the architect.
Christopher Hooper: yeah, I I I was using I I knew the bait that I was uh wielding in front
Ellis Taylor: regularly?
Christopher Hooper: and Um, so what is the how is the rest of this
Ellis Taylor: Um, so it's
Justin Hale: Even even Ted is mouthing off to you

Christopher Hooper: Okay. Um,
Ellis Taylor: multiple units, but we've since like kind of torn down walls and converted it.
Christopher Hooper: yeah. Okay. So,
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Luke Neverisky: like yeah um he loves like doing work like work outside and landscaping and I'm like man I just I've told him like I want to do stuff but I can never get the energy to or just other things take priorities like if you buy me this s*** I'll just do the things for you. Um, so he's offering basically for cost of materials to like do landscaping projects for me because he just likes it and he's in an apartment he can't do it.
Walden Briarhelm: Man, if he has
Luke Neverisky: Um, I know,
Justin Hale: What a
Walden Briarhelm: any reason to visit Molen, Illinois, you send him my
Luke Neverisky: right? We'll do. But so he's like, "Hey, so what do you want me to do like tomorrow? Like what do you want to do to hang out or like what projects do you want me to work on?" I'm like,
Justin Hale: weirdo.
Walden Briarhelm: way. Oh. Oh
Luke Neverisky: I I wasn't ready for this immediately, but I'm glad you're
Walden Briarhelm: s***, man. Like I You know how to make a pigod? I I could put like I'll buy stuff for that real quick.
Luke Neverisky: eager. Yeah. So, I don't know. Maybe an impromptu
Walden Briarhelm: So yeah, I spent three
Luke Neverisky: trip to Lowe's to buy a bunch of
Walden Briarhelm: grand on lumber this
Luke Neverisky: s***.
Ellis Taylor: What are you building? Oh,
Walden Briarhelm: weekend. Oh, that was metaphorical. No, we were
Luke Neverisky: But it's probably be like a grand of landscape materials like pavers
Ellis Taylor: okay.
Walden Briarhelm: talking. Oh, making
Luke Neverisky: and stones and mulch and
Justin Hale: I
Ellis Taylor: Mhm.
Walden Briarhelm: that backyard get that
Luke Neverisky: s***. What's
Justin Hale: did my first framing job ever last
Walden Briarhelm: sexy.
Luke Neverisky: up?
Justin Hale: weekend. I said I did my first framing job ever last
Walden Briarhelm: Who' you Who' you
Luke Neverisky: Oh, hell yeah. Ah, damn it,
Justin Hale: weekend.
Luke Neverisky: Zach.
Justin Hale: I put
Walden Briarhelm: frame? It's a fun
Justin Hale: in a door.
Walden Briarhelm: project. No, when I
Justin Hale: Yeah, not
Ellis Taylor: Thank
Walden Briarhelm: say that about home anything, usually it means
Justin Hale: really. I'm going to probably put up
Walden Briarhelm: sarcasm. Because of
Justin Hale: insulation this weekend.
Walden Briarhelm: Megan's leg injury, showering is a not a real go. So,
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. What?
Walden Briarhelm: we had to get a different shower head. And man, I remember a time period where the idea of having to change a shower head was like, "Oh,
Ellis Taylor: you.
Walden Briarhelm: man. This could be a thing." And now I'm like, "God, I wish everything was easy. New shower head works great." Now we have one with a hose.
Luke Neverisky: Even
Justin Hale: That's how I feel about installing ceiling fans. Now it's like I got
Ellis Taylor: Okay.
Walden Briarhelm: Yeah. All right. There's
Justin Hale: to install a ceiling fan. Yes.
Walden Briarhelm: There's some weird stuff like that. How is
Justin Hale: Cakewalk.
Walden Briarhelm: the uh new
Justin Hale: Yeah. I've never done uh I've never done framing before, so
Walden Briarhelm: house? How
Justin Hale: that was a fun pick off the list.
Walden Briarhelm: uh how is the house? I know I had a lot of projects that you had on your mind. That's good. That's excellent. Is that
Justin Hale: It's It's still
Walden Briarhelm: a Wi-Fi I see behind
Justin Hale: upright despite its best efforts of uh falling into the
Walden Briarhelm: you? Oh, looks
Justin Hale: ground. Did you say something about
Walden Briarhelm: like I saw like what I thought looked like a ceiling Wi-Fi
Justin Hale: Wi-Fi?
Walden Briarhelm: router. Yeah.
Justin Hale: Oh, that
Walden Briarhelm: Nice.
Justin Hale: Yeah. Yeah. When we uh when we moved into this house, I uh spent lots of money on networking equipment,
Walden Briarhelm: I wish I had. Yeah,
Justin Hale: like over $1,000, maybe. I bought a enterprise router and
Walden Briarhelm: easily. Well,
Justin Hale: enterprise access points.
Walden Briarhelm: yeah. Yeah. Pimp it out so that you have like two gig download everywhere. Well,
Justin Hale: about
Walden Briarhelm: I don't know what your ISP
Justin Hale: the um yeah
Walden Briarhelm: is.
Justin Hale: my ISP caps at one gigabit per
Walden Briarhelm: But still looks
Justin Hale: second. My internal speeds do
Christopher Hooper: How's that upload speed?
Justin Hale: what? Uh it was
Christopher Hooper: How's that upload speed
Walden Briarhelm: great.
Justin Hale: garbage. I think it's a little bit better
Christopher Hooper: now? That's what I care about.
Justin Hale: now. Let's see. My Wi-Fi My Wi-Fi download is 600 meg down. Yeah, my upload's garbo. It's
Christopher Hooper: Dang
Justin Hale: 35 about to drop like 800 bucks on a on a network area
Christopher Hooper: it.
Walden Briarhelm: Truly.
Justin Hale: storage. Yep. The UNAS
Walden Briarhelm: And what we need to do with
Christopher Hooper: N you n man. This is really bad timing for you. There's like a bunch of really expensive nice
Justin Hale: Pro. Yeah. Yeah, that's what
Christopher Hooper: like UniFi stuff
Walden Briarhelm: this, what would you
Justin Hale: it all
[01:50:00]
Christopher Hooper: out.
Walden Briarhelm: do with a a
Justin Hale: is. Beef up the current one that I already have. So, I have a Plex
Walden Briarhelm: NAS? Mhm.
Justin Hale: server that I run a bunch of media off of. Uh, it's all automated, too. So, I just like make a request for whatever I want and then it's on Plex, you know, minutes to days later. Um, current one I have though is just like a direct access storage connected to a little um M1 Mac
Walden Briarhelm: What? Oh
Justin Hale: Mini and the bottleneck is the Mac Mini itself. Uh, because the
Walden Briarhelm: s***.
Justin Hale: uh the um Ethernet port on the Mac Mini is like 100 megabits per second. So the pro I think caps out at like two and a half gigabit per second internally. So um it will be direct storage attach attached directly to the network. So uh there's no bottleneck of any processing that will free up the Mac Mini to do all of the processing for like transcoding, downloading, uh all those things that it needs to do as a server. And then all the data can be served directly from the
Walden Briarhelm: Cool. Is that the FIFA cup behind you or just a
Justin Hale: UNESC.
Walden Briarhelm: big glowing green
Justin Hale: Yeah, that is my wife playing Story of Cecilus. I turn this off. That's not
Walden Briarhelm: screen? The big
Justin Hale: it. There it
Tyram: Did you ask
Walden Briarhelm: green area made me think it was a soccer field.
Justin Hale: is.
Tyram: where Nashville won the Open
Justin Hale: I did
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, I did. I was um I had to watch the second half from the sidelines of my own soccer
Tyram: Cup?
Christopher Hooper: game as between between subs. I was like yelling at my phone as everyone's like, "What
Tyram: Yeah,
Christopher Hooper: are you doing? We just won a
Tyram: we just got our first
Justin Hale: not.
Christopher Hooper: champion." The first professional uh
Tyram: trophy. Oh, is that
Justin Hale: That's
Christopher Hooper: team's trophy in Tennessee. It's
Tyram: right? Well, yeah. I guess the haven't gotten
Walden Briarhelm: Where are
Christopher Hooper: wild. Yeah.
Tyram: the cup and Titans haven't gotten a Super Bowl. So, yeah, I guess that
Justin Hale: awesome,
Tyram: works.
Justin Hale: dude. Nashville's MLS team is
Christopher Hooper: Yep.
Tyram: Yeah, I mean the prince for playing for the Stanley Cup, God, I guess it was a little while
Walden Briarhelm: we?
Christopher Hooper: Yep. This season very
Tyram: ago now, but um we have our we have
Justin Hale: good.
Christopher Hooper: good.
Tyram: our we have our good years, but yeah, SC has been consistently the best for the last few years from
Justin Hale: I'll never not root for
Christopher Hooper: Mhm. The
Tyram: Nashville.
Christopher Hooper: cool part is this puts us into the Champions League. Uh, which means we get to play like the best teams in the continent and like
Tyram: Hell
Christopher Hooper: potentially other really good
Justin Hale: Tennessee. Nice. Uh, Toeer, do you go to any games? Are you
Christopher Hooper: teams. Yeah, I'm a season ticket
Justin Hale: seriously? Um, I need you to find a
Christopher Hooper: holder.
Justin Hale: uh scarf for
Christopher Hooper: Yep. I have two. You want
Tyram: yeah.
Justin Hale: me. Uh, I'm looking specifically for Whoa, that didn't work. I'm looking specifically for the hot chicken
Christopher Hooper: one?
Justin Hale: one. if you if you see that one because it kind of goes with
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Yeah,
Justin Hale: my camera
Christopher Hooper: sure. Oh, yeah. Clicking.
Justin Hale: tag. This is what it looks like
Christopher Hooper: Awesome. Got it. Yeah, that makes sense.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Um, so I don't have a lot planned for the um the rest of the session because I wanted to leave it open um
Tyram: All
Justin Hale: here.
Christopher Hooper: for if y'all had schemes you wanted to do in preparation for uh next session we will go balls to the wall uh probably continuous action for the uh Helga confrontation.
Ellis Taylor: My only plan was to try and find better armor,
Tyram: right. Well,
Ellis Taylor: but I'm doing bedtime and bath time, so I'll figure that out.
Christopher Hooper: out.
Tyram: um
Walden Briarhelm: Liliana, I I would like
Luke Neverisky: Nice. Yeah.
Walden Briarhelm: to ask a few questions since you are so new but not a stranger to the group. How well do you know each of
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Tyram: um
Walden Briarhelm: us?
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, I saw what Helana saw. So, you know, I I know I know a
Walden Briarhelm: Okay. So, it's like uh just you cast a baton and now you are her and she is
Luke Neverisky: bit. Yeah, that's the way to look at it. I know
Walden Briarhelm: you. Okay.
Luke Neverisky: it's all really confusing.
Walden Briarhelm: Uh Silus, I believe you are going to say
Tyram: No, no, never mind.
Walden Briarhelm: something. We we have finished our long rest at this
Christopher Hooper: Mhm. Yeah.
Walden Briarhelm: point. Are are we in day two
Christopher Hooper: So, you wake up.
Luke Neverisky: Hey
Christopher Hooper: Um, you're on day two. You have one more
Walden Briarhelm: then? Oh, the moon is
Luke Neverisky: shoot.
Christopher Hooper: day. One more day
Walden Briarhelm: close.
Christopher Hooper: before revolution.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: One more. One more day. One day
Tyram: Although I guess I will try to talk to uh I guess I probably should
Walden Briarhelm: is
Tyram: talk talk to Lily here. Um though it looks like you do have some uh some powers and everything after
Walden Briarhelm: is
Luke Neverisky: Beautiful. Yeah. The power of
Christopher Hooper: more.
Luke Neverisky: music, you know.
Tyram: all. What can you tell us about what we'd be getting into if we went after Helisana now?
Luke Neverisky: Well, I mean, you saw she's uh I mean, she's a little rough around the edges. She means well, obviously. Um, at least that's what I
Tyram: It's
Luke Neverisky: think. Um, because I know I mean well, and you know, um, you'd be getting into, listen, she's been trying to get famous and recognized ever
Walden Briarhelm: Wait a
Luke Neverisky: since this whole deal with her patron. Now that she's
Tyram: just
Luke Neverisky: finally getting it, I don't think she's going to want to give it up
Tyram: Well, are you
Walden Briarhelm: minute.
Tyram: would you be um okay if it if it comes down to it? Would you have it in you to help us kill your other
Luke Neverisky: willingly. Oh, I mean it would it would really break my heart for
Tyram: half?
Luke Neverisky: sure. Uh, but I obviously care about um I care about the people in front of me that aren't trying to murder each other friends wise. So
Tyram: It's kind of sad, but that's literally nicer than
Luke Neverisky: um really rather not
Tyram: anything Hillisana has ever said to
Luke Neverisky: but she like I said she means well. She I there was a sliver of of care there. She just rough around the edges, you
Tyram: us.
Luke Neverisky: know.
Walden Briarhelm: So what do we do Ifana does not show up with the
Luke Neverisky: I think she'll show up. I mean, this She's playing a show, right? She loves
Justin Hale: She's still egotistical not to
Walden Briarhelm: rivers.
Justin Hale: show I say out of the cupboard with the cupboard still
Luke Neverisky: that.
Walden Briarhelm: Okay. Okay. I guess I am overthinking it. You are right. You know her best.
Luke Neverisky: I'll uh
Justin Hale: closed. I don't I don't think anyone
Tyram: Well,
Justin Hale: knows her best.
Tyram: honestly, that's I'm feeling pretty melancholic about that if I got to be perfectly honest here. I feel like Helisana is gone, but part of me feels like, did we ever even really know her at all? She didn't let us into any of these weird squid struggles that she was dealing
Luke Neverisky: H. Yeah.
Justin Hale: All of my friends keep
Tyram: with.
Luke Neverisky: I'll be your
Justin Hale: leaving for
Luke Neverisky: friend.
Justin Hale: now until you leave,
Tyram: So,
Walden Briarhelm: f***.
Luke Neverisky: Uh, don't say that, Brew. I'm definitely going to stay
Tyram: I will actually like open the closet door for Brew and be like, "Well, we've been stuck with each other for long enough now,
Justin Hale: too. Uh, Brew looks like an absolute
Tyram: Brew, I don't doubt
Luke Neverisky: here.
Justin Hale: wreck. You open the cupboard
Tyram: it.
Justin Hale: door and there's like there's like black bars underneath his eyes. He's kind of shaking a little bit like like hung over shaking
Tyram: I
Justin Hale: kind of thing. open the door. He's
Tyram: walk off and I get like a cup of water and I come over and bring it to
Justin Hale: like, he just downs it.
Luke Neverisky: I'll uh I'll see if Brew will accept some
Tyram: him.
Luke Neverisky: scritches.
Justin Hale: Just bro totally goes into dog. It's like little little leg
Tyram: Bro, we talked about that. That's weird. Don't do
Justin Hale: movement. That's voluntary. I get
Tyram: it. Damn it,
Justin Hale: that
Tyram: bro.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. See, he's just a cute little goblin.
Tyram: Well, I don't honestly don't know if we meant anything to Helisana, but Helisana
Justin Hale: with
[02:00:00]
Tyram: meant something to us, I think. We'll try to do what we can to
Luke Neverisky: That sounds
Tyram: her. But I guess that's to some other day's
Luke Neverisky: right.
Tyram: problem. But how can
Luke Neverisky: Right. One thing at a
Tyram: we at least get Helisana to not, you know, burn the city to the
Luke Neverisky: time. Well, I mean, I always think that music is pretty powerful. So, like, um, I don't know. Maybe playing something to the antithesis of her sad mel melancholy metal or there's got to be some way to even
Tyram: ground? You volunteering there,
Luke Neverisky: her out or smooth her over a little bit, you
Tyram: Lily?
Walden Briarhelm: It sure sounds like
Luke Neverisky: know? Oh jeez. I
Justin Hale: What
Luke Neverisky: maybe I don't know. Gosh.
Justin Hale: is it?
Tyram: Well, hey, I guess we'll try to help
Walden Briarhelm: it. We've just met you and you already are going to be
Luke Neverisky: Maybe. Oh jeez. All
Tyram: you. One huge edge we definitely have is that there's no
Walden Briarhelm: part of a rockoff.
Tyram: way that any of those assholes and her uh stage crew will be able
Luke Neverisky: right.
Tyram: to match the pirate technics display that Ellmith and Brew could kick up.
Luke Neverisky: Oh, pyrochnics. That seems
Tyram: God damn it, Lily. This is the one edge we
Justin Hale: If
Luke Neverisky: dangerous. Sure. Well, if you're
Justin Hale: that's the whole
Tyram: have. I'm just picturing like um I'm just picturing like
Luke Neverisky: sure
Justin Hale: point, life is short. Live it
Tyram: a jewel concert with like really intense
Justin Hale: dangerously. Just explosions of
Tyram: pyrochnics. Oh s***, bro. Could we do that? Could we just do like instead of fire we do like sunshine and flowers and s***?
Justin Hale: flowers. You insult
Tyram: All right. Okay.
Justin Hale: me. Of course. Of course it's possible.
Tyram: See, already our legendary collaboration for stage shows is already paying
Luke Neverisky: Okay, that seems
Tyram: dividends. You are killing me, Lily. But okay, sure.
Justin Hale: Do you think we could kill Helisa with
Walden Briarhelm: I have a feeling that Liliana
Luke Neverisky: safer.
Justin Hale: kindness?
Walden Briarhelm: can
Luke Neverisky: kill kindness. I don't know. That doesn't
Justin Hale: That's
Tyram: I don't know how much you noticed about how we tend to resolve our problems, but there is typically a lot of killing involved. Yeah.
Luke Neverisky: seem hair. That's fair. I have noticed
Tyram: I mean, not always, but frequently. You
Luke Neverisky: that sometimes. Yeah.
Justin Hale: it.
Luke Neverisky: Sometimes sometimes they deserve it. I
Tyram: know, how about we try to subdue Helisana with
Luke Neverisky: understand. There we
Tyram: kindness? All
Luke Neverisky: go. I mean, each seems to be pretty musically oriented, so musically susceptible.
Tyram: right. Okay. So, we just need to find out how you
Ellis Taylor: big.
Tyram: can match her Squid Satan enhanced
Luke Neverisky: Maybe that's right.
Justin Hale: We need to gear
Tyram: powers. Yeah,
Justin Hale: up a little
Tyram: but I guess first we got to deal with uh Helga and all that and uh hopefully get the dragons to go away and then find some way to at least sequester Helisana for
Justin Hale: bit.
Tyram: now.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, cuz she's got the whole patron of thing. I'm just an a normal person that you know of. I put
Justin Hale: that we know
Tyram: I don't know how cryptic that was,
Luke Neverisky: normal in air quotes because you
Justin Hale: of. You could be praying to
Tyram: but
Luke Neverisky: know sunshine
Justin Hale: some sunshine god or something.
Tyram: okay. All right. Oh, incredibly f******
Justin Hale: Is there any
Tyram: stupid. Maybe we can convince her that um she has to go to like a sbatical or something before she can re like the Beatles did, whoever they are. And then we Yeah, the Beatles
Luke Neverisky: god. Well, there they
Tyram: are I Okay, so maybe in this setting the Beatles were just like
Justin Hale: um Oh, you mean the
Tyram: anthropomorphic
Justin Hale: arachnids? Yeah. Well, all right. Fair
Tyram: Beatles like the Beatles did. They went off on like a sbatical and they came back and like set the world on fire all over again. Maybe we convince Alisan she needs to do that for a few weeks or months or
Ellis Taylor: You know what? If your girlfriend offered her a residency
Tyram: years,
Luke Neverisky: are. That's
Ellis Taylor: at the casino, I mean, they had an amazing
Tyram: whatever. She
Luke Neverisky: true.
Justin Hale: enough.
Ellis Taylor: stage.
Tyram: does basically run that
Luke Neverisky: Mhm. And giving her a monopoly would, you know, probably be
Tyram: place. And who gives a s*** if she burns down Marvin's place? As long as Naomi can like, you know, get out of there alive. I don't care about the rest of
Justin Hale: There's a
Tyram: that. Although, I did
Luke Neverisky: pretty. That is the
Justin Hale: roof. Olivia, I need to
Luke Neverisky: ref.
Justin Hale: do some shopping. Do you need to do shopping as
Tyram: like You're right, Brew. You and I should go do some
Justin Hale: well?
Tyram: shopping.
Justin Hale: I need to buy lots of
Christopher Hooper: All right,
Justin Hale: dangerous
Christopher Hooper: shopping. Cool. Uh, Liliana, uh, what do you want to do while they go
Luke Neverisky: Um, it's a good question. I want to go
Justin Hale: supplies. Do you want to come
Luke Neverisky: shopping.
Justin Hale: with
Christopher Hooper: shopping? All right. And I believe uh, Olivia wants to go shopping. Ma, what do you want to
Walden Briarhelm: Um, out of character, how much money has
Christopher Hooper: do?
Walden Briarhelm: uh Leu got at this point? Because he kind of just gets some at random like I send it to him because I don't know because typically my money goes to
Luke Neverisky: Absolutely.
Tyram: I don't remember getting a
Walden Briarhelm: Silus as a an
Tyram: scent from
Walden Briarhelm: agreement. I'm asking I'm doing my accounting live.
Christopher Hooper: Um, so you had about 500 gold um to start with. Whoa.
Tyram: you.
Christopher Hooper: What the f*** is this? What the f*** is this? DND Beyond now has a
Tyram: That's
Justin Hale: Oh, that's
Christopher Hooper: party inventory on your character
Tyram: handy. Is it already filled out like what we
Christopher Hooper: sheet. Oh, that
Tyram: have? Oh, so do we have to
Walden Briarhelm: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: No, I mean, no, it's not. Uh, you have
Tyram: like move things to the party inventory from our personal
Luke Neverisky: Wat.
Christopher Hooper: like
Tyram: inventory? Okay.
Justin Hale: cool. Yeah. Does doesn't Silus have like all of the
Christopher Hooper: Uh-huh.
Tyram: Okay. I don't I don't remember anyone else giving me money. I have what Silus personally
Justin Hale: money? I don't think I have added any
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Tyram: has,
Justin Hale: money to my own sheet, which is a which is a
Tyram: but I I wasn't keeping track of anybody for you. I'll tell that for damn
Christopher Hooper: Um, that has Elizabeth has been spending she spent all of her
Walden Briarhelm: Oh, cup hurts.
Christopher Hooper: money. Um I think Elizabeth has a lot of
Justin Hale: bad
Christopher Hooper: money. Um I
Tyram: sure.
Christopher Hooper: don't know about Hely. Hely had a lot of money too. She didn't like spend any of it
Tyram: Did Did
Luke Neverisky: She had 1,800 on the character sheet. So if it's if I can inherit
Tyram: Liliana get the body that had all the money? Okay,
Luke Neverisky: that. All right.
Christopher Hooper: either.
Justin Hale: How much money should we
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Luke Neverisky: Good.
Justin Hale: have roughly? Because I don't I don't
Tyram: good. I've got
Justin Hale: know what that's supposed to
Christopher Hooper: Didn't I thought
Tyram: 3,473 gold on my dude,
Justin Hale: be.
Christopher Hooper: you did you spend your
Tyram: and I haven't really spent a scent of that yet.
Justin Hale: Did
Christopher Hooper: money, Brew, on on like the resources for the um pocket
Tyram: No, I think didn't we um
Justin Hale: I? Yeah, it's
Tyram: arranged to trade uh those head shot of Joel for the resources
Christopher Hooper: village?
Tyram: for the pocket
Justin Hale: probably
Christopher Hooper: I think you chipped away a lot of
Tyram: village?
Christopher Hooper: that. Um,
Justin Hale: Well, that
Christopher Hooper: so you might just not have any money, bro. I don't
Tyram: I know you would have spent some of your money on like pyrochnics back for Helisana's first
Justin Hale: sucks. Yeah. What a waste that
Christopher Hooper: know. Also, so I'm a little confused about the love bombs.
Justin Hale: was.
Christopher Hooper: Um, they're potions you had, right? So, you probably bought those potions or had them
Tyram: concert.
Justin Hale: Mhm. Yeah. Well, that's that's
Christopher Hooper: at some point. Okay. Yeah.
Justin Hale: what I need to do now is reup. But uh potions are expensive and I don't have any money.
Christopher Hooper: So, yeah. So, you probably already
Walden Briarhelm: How many
Justin Hale: So
Christopher Hooper: bought stuff and that's why you have no
Walden Briarhelm: potions do you need,
Justin Hale: cool.
Christopher Hooper: money.
Justin Hale: Well, I was going to do a couple of things for Kevin to make him uh more of bad. I was going to get him some some alchemist fires, some
Walden Briarhelm: Brew?
Justin Hale: acids, some more potions. was gonna try and fash in some
Walden Briarhelm: Oh. Oh
Justin Hale: webslingers for
Walden Briarhelm: my. You're turning him into quite the slayer. How much money do you think that would
Justin Hale: him. I have no idea.
Walden Briarhelm: take? How much are we thinking
Justin Hale: Probably lots. Uh I still have quite a few alchemist
Tyram: I don't like heaven, but it does sound pretty rad, I will
Walden Briarhelm: there?
Justin Hale: fires
Tyram: admit.
Walden Briarhelm: Him decked out with different grenades and
Justin Hale: actually.
Christopher Hooper: Hi, I'm
Tyram: Shut up,
Walden Briarhelm: stuff. Prepare to
Justin Hale: Hey, hey,
Walden Briarhelm: die. How much do we think it would cost
Justin Hale: you love Kevin. Um,
Walden Briarhelm: toer for us to deck out Kevin in a like
Christopher Hooper: Kevin.
Walden Briarhelm: a a full Rambo style of DND
Justin Hale: actually, I still have four Alchemist fires on
Tyram: Kevin.
Justin Hale: me that I'm going to put on
Christopher Hooper: Um, okay.
Justin Hale: Kevin.
Christopher Hooper: Cool. Um, and you
[02:10:00]
Tyram: You know, I wonder if the iron claws or the resistance, since we're honestly not super cool with the resistance anymore, have like
Walden Briarhelm: weaponry?
Tyram: a potion uh stockpile we could
Justin Hale: So, so
Christopher Hooper: can
Tyram: raid.
Justin Hale: shopping
Christopher Hooper: Um, you could uh try to find places to buy or try to find places to steal. Um, you don't have a lot of time. Just keep keeping that in mind
Justin Hale: Uh, Brew Brew
Christopher Hooper: for like a stockpile heist.
Justin Hale: will probably spend the day trying to
Christopher Hooper: But okay. So any other shenanigans that you were trying to do during that time, you
Justin Hale: steal. I mean, the only thing that I have to do
Christopher Hooper: probably won't do
Justin Hale: is repurpose some of those things and then uh I
Walden Briarhelm: Oh,
Justin Hale: need to workshop that with you. Basically, I want to be able to make like sticky traps that Kevin can shoot out Spider-Man style. So, basically
Christopher Hooper: then.
Justin Hale: like little wrist things that he flips with, but they just shoot out like
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Justin Hale: a I don't know, like rough terrain or something, but it's like, you
Walden Briarhelm: Adhesive.
Justin Hale: know, sticky web. Uh, and like one per
Christopher Hooper: Wasn't there something you wanted to do with that you were DMing me about earlier this
Justin Hale: use. What?
Tyram: That
Justin Hale: Were
Tyram: sounds like it would be recreating the DND spell
Christopher Hooper: week?
Luke Neverisky: Yeah,
Justin Hale: they? Oh, is that
Tyram: web.
Luke Neverisky: basically.
Justin Hale: a thing?
Christopher Hooper: Um, Liliana, you want to go shopping? Anything you're
Luke Neverisky: Mhm. I don't
Christopher Hooper: looking out looking looking out for
Luke Neverisky: know. Um, I take a look at what kind of gear I should be
Christopher Hooper: specifically?
Tyram: Yes.
Luke Neverisky: looking at for a for a bard. Um, I saw your price checker, so I'm going to take a look there. Um, yeah. So, come back to me on that. I will I'll take a look. I'm assuming anything like can is there anything off limits with regret? Like there's no armor shopping available, there's no weapons or things like that.
Christopher Hooper: Um, you can find um uncommon
Luke Neverisky: Okay,
Christopher Hooper: and uh
Tyram: Actually, I want to check
Christopher Hooper: below. Um uh now that
Tyram: something.
Luke Neverisky: cool.
Christopher Hooper: you know how much gold you have, uh did you come up with
Walden Briarhelm: I am a I am
Christopher Hooper: something?
Walden Briarhelm: a torto who lives off of the land mostly. I would much rather use my gold to help pay for the others things I need. I also would love to see Kevin with a multitude
Tyram: It's
Walden Briarhelm: of ammunitions.
Justin Hale: I mean,
Tyram: okay.
Justin Hale: if you want to stock up on things of liquid in in vials, that's fine with
Walden Briarhelm: Yes, I I will probably purchase a few health
Justin Hale: me.
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Walden Briarhelm: potions then as
Christopher Hooper: Okay, cool. Um, so you got the price checker. You can see how much those
Walden Briarhelm: well.
Christopher Hooper: cost and look up um those resources if you
Justin Hale: I will
Christopher Hooper: want.
Justin Hale: give uh a list of components that I'm looking for.
Christopher Hooper: Um All right. Um, so you um you search around the city, you know pretty well. Um, you end up finding a potions um
Walden Briarhelm: Mhm.
Christopher Hooper: purveyor uh back down in the underl. Um, it uh you uh happened to see it when you're down there uh
Justin Hale: Can you give me a
Christopher Hooper: briefly. Um,
Tyram: It's
Christopher Hooper: and no
Justin Hale: hug?
Christopher Hooper: hugs. Yes, hugs, of course. Um, we'll say, uh, Elmo, you're steering as you as you both go.
Tyram: harsh.
Christopher Hooper: Um, and so you find a potion shop. There's someone standing outside and says, "Uh, hello. Are you here to buy potions?" And it's a very old
Walden Briarhelm: very
Christopher Hooper: dwarf.
Walden Briarhelm: old dwarf. Oh, hello. My name is Omar. What is your name?
Christopher Hooper: Yep. My name is
Walden Briarhelm: Did you say your name is
Christopher Hooper: Tunac.
Walden Briarhelm: Tunac? Ah, yes,
Christopher Hooper: That is what I
Walden Briarhelm: Mr. Tunak. I have a list of different items that I would like to purchase. Some vials of acid,
Christopher Hooper: said.
Walden Briarhelm: some uh some health potions, and some other
Christopher Hooper: Oh.
Walden Briarhelm: items.
Christopher Hooper: Oh. Okay. You came to the right
Walden Briarhelm: Excellent.
Christopher Hooper: place. Do you got
Walden Briarhelm: Now, oh
Christopher Hooper: money?
Walden Briarhelm: yes, this is no horse and
Christopher Hooper: Oh,

Christopher Hooper: okay.
Walden Briarhelm: for.
Christopher Hooper: Your your eyes aren't glowing.
Walden Briarhelm: Oh
Christopher Hooper: You're not a raver. You got tattoos, but not the ones I normally
Walden Briarhelm: no. Oh. Oh
Christopher Hooper: see. You an
Walden Briarhelm: no. Do not be
Christopher Hooper: angler,
Walden Briarhelm: mistaken.
Christopher Hooper: huh? Well, who are you? Good night, Olly.
Tyram: All
Walden Briarhelm: I am simply someone trying
Tyram: right.
Walden Briarhelm: to purchase. Would you like to take my gold or would you like to continue to ask
Christopher Hooper: Hulk. I would I'll do both. I want to know where my gold is coming
Walden Briarhelm: questions?
Christopher Hooper: from. Are you
Walden Briarhelm: Oh, let me in your I would let you in on
Christopher Hooper: uh you're a toral?
Walden Briarhelm: a little secret. Have you heard of the underground wrestler, the ninja
Luke Neverisky: Well,
Christopher Hooper: Yes.
Walden Briarhelm: turtle? He's going to
Christopher Hooper: What? Yes. That's the only tortal I've ever seen.
Walden Briarhelm: lean forward and go to give a wink, but remember that Silus kind of told him the wink didn't work and it was creepy. And uh instead I give him a little nudge and a grin and say I am the ninja turtle. Yes.
Christopher Hooper: No way.
Walden Briarhelm: And these are ingredients for part of my
Christopher Hooper: You You don't look
Walden Briarhelm: show. My disguise has
Christopher Hooper: anything like
Walden Briarhelm: been designed to be very very good.
Christopher Hooper: him. Yeah, you I mean there's no there's nothing on your
Walden Briarhelm: Yes. Nobody can see past such a simple eye mask. It
Christopher Hooper: face.
Walden Briarhelm: is crazy. Those tortos are very defined by just our
Christopher Hooper: Wow. I couldn't look away. Well, in that case, I'll give you the same price as I would before, but I won't ratch out to
Walden Briarhelm: eylight. Oh, I appreciate the
Christopher Hooper: anybody.
Walden Briarhelm: tuid. Thanks for doing that for me. So, uh, I I I actually don't have a
Christopher Hooper: No
Walden Briarhelm: list of exactly what we need, and this magic shop website is a bit confusing,
Christopher Hooper: problem. Oh
Walden Briarhelm: but if I type in acid, I do not see vials of
Luke Neverisky: I don't think they have potions on
Christopher Hooper: s***.
Tyram: Um, acid isn't considered a
Luke Neverisky: there or some potions they don't.
Tyram: potion. It's a its own
Walden Briarhelm: acid.
Christopher Hooper: If you put in healing, you'll see all the the different healing.
Tyram: thing.
Christopher Hooper: Um, what? There's a scroll of acid splatch, which I think is like equivalent to what you're talking about,
Walden Briarhelm: H Justin
Christopher Hooper: right?
Walden Briarhelm: Brew, could you chime in on what it was you were hoping to receive from our alchemist friend?
Justin Hale: Uh looking for flasks of oil, flammable oil
Christopher Hooper: oil hat. Uh like grease, like a scroll of
Justin Hale: preferably.
Christopher Hooper: grease which costs 120 gold.
Justin Hale: Sure.
Christopher Hooper: or a scroll of acid splash, which costs 20
Justin Hale: Um, flasks of oil were intended to be thrown to create fires and chaos. We'll
Christopher Hooper: gold.
Tyram: So they they actually do have like a mundane
Justin Hale: see.
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Tyram: oil in like the like just like the gear part of the player's
Walden Briarhelm: Mhm.
Christopher Hooper: All right. You can look that up if you
Tyram: handbook.
[02:20:04]
Walden Briarhelm: How do I get rid of
Christopher Hooper: want.
Justin Hale: One silver.
Walden Briarhelm: stuff?
Justin Hale: Hell
Christopher Hooper: What?
Justin Hale: yeah. Get wrecked,
Christopher Hooper: What? No way. Oil for that
Justin Hale: nerd.
Christopher Hooper: price? Wow. Imagine they're just giving out oil. Um, all right. So, how much oil do you want to buy?
Walden Briarhelm: Uh, how much do they cost? Or are we going with scroll of
Justin Hale: Um uh well flies of oil.
Christopher Hooper: They cost one silver per
Walden Briarhelm: grease? One silver per pound of oil
Justin Hale: Well, never
Walden Briarhelm: flask.
Justin Hale: mind.
Walden Briarhelm: Wow. Is anybody with me while I'm making this
Justin Hale: Um,
Christopher Hooper: pound.
Tyram: Come
Walden Briarhelm: purchase? Oh, it's just the two of us.
Christopher Hooper: I think Brew is
Walden Briarhelm: Okay. So, Brew, if uh you use your incredible
Christopher Hooper: there.
Walden Briarhelm: intellect, I know you can do the math. For just a single gold, it seems like you could buy a lot of oil. How many of these did you want to
Justin Hale: over
Tyram: on.
Walden Briarhelm: buy?
Justin Hale: Uh there would be like 10 of
Walden Briarhelm: So, how you want only 10 or you're saying it would be
Justin Hale: them. Uh one gold would be 10 flasks
Walden Briarhelm: 10? Okay. How many do you
Justin Hale: of oil. And that would be more can't hold that many. We can buy 10. That's
Walden Briarhelm: want?
Justin Hale: perfect. That'll that'll hold us for a
Tyram: So just maybe you just we can have this could be like a psychic
Walden Briarhelm: Okay.
Justin Hale: while.
Tyram: conversation you're having with uh with because I think the psychic phone lasts for like has like a range of like miles. Yeah.
Justin Hale: Oh,
Walden Briarhelm: Okay. So then let's do uh one gold or 10 uh flasks of oil. And uh
Justin Hale: perfect.
Walden Briarhelm: let's do five scroll of a splash for another hunter gold. And then we will
Christopher Hooper: Okay,
Walden Briarhelm: do four potion.
Christopher Hooper: cool.
Justin Hale: um cover. Is it easier to you to do the what is it web the like a scroll for web or would it be easier to like fashion uh the like material components to do the same thing for
Walden Briarhelm: Scroll of
Justin Hale: like maybe the same price or
Walden Briarhelm: web is an uncommon item that costs 240.
Christopher Hooper: Uh, what do you think web is made
Justin Hale: something sticky silk Glue and
Christopher Hooper: of? Sticky. Um, I mean, you could you could make a mess
Justin Hale: silk. That's the
Christopher Hooper: for like I was like, if you're just trying to make
Justin Hale: plan.
Christopher Hooper: a mess, that's like cheap. A
Luke Neverisky: Stickies.
Justin Hale: Yeah. Well, controlled me is
Christopher Hooper: controlled mess is a little harder.
Tyram: Hey Deborah, what was the markup on the magic
Justin Hale: preferable.
Tyram: item uh
Christopher Hooper: Um
Tyram: thing?
Christopher Hooper: um uh they because Ma revealed his identity. It's none at this potion
Tyram: I was seeing
Christopher Hooper: shop. Um but it depends on what you're going
Tyram: if uh could buy me a uh a cloak of
Christopher Hooper: for. Oh. Um, you'll have to get that
Tyram: protection. Okay. But you said uncommon. So that's what the thing that's the best thing I could find that was
Christopher Hooper: elsewhere. Nice. The scroll of web is
Tyram: uncommon.
Christopher Hooper: 240 gold. So, um, it probably make more sense to just like fashion the scroll of web. Um, if you want to do the equivalent
Justin Hale: So, how does that work? Do I get a scroll and then like learn it and then like fashion it into these little web shooters?
Christopher Hooper: effect,
Tyram: Wow. There might be like a wand of web might be more like
Justin Hale: No.
Christopher Hooper: no,
Tyram: what you need here.
Walden Briarhelm: Scroll of web is a consumable.
Christopher Hooper: no. Yeah. So, one time one time thing.
Justin Hale: Okay. That's got to be
Christopher Hooper: There is a wand of web. It
Tyram: anymore has been scroll for sure,
Christopher Hooper: is it is uncommon.
Tyram: but it's multiple use and it
Walden Briarhelm: It's only 8,000.
Tyram: refills. O All right. And
Walden Briarhelm: Not a big
Justin Hale: expensive.
Tyram: I I just looked up I did the price check on the clo protection. It's probably outside
Christopher Hooper: So
Tyram: of the price range,
Walden Briarhelm: deal. Is there any chance like K2
Christopher Hooper: All right.
Walden Briarhelm: might just have uh an extra uh an
Justin Hale: Just the Wanda web kicking
Walden Briarhelm: extra scroll of web? Maybe not a wand. It's a little
Justin Hale: around.
Christopher Hooper: Uh um he I'll tell you
Tyram: too.
Christopher Hooper: what, he has um about a pound of
Walden Briarhelm: broken.
Luke Neverisky: Oh
Walden Briarhelm: Oh, bro. I know that you have the mind for this kind of thing. Grape shot. You know a
Justin Hale: You made me cough soda into my
Christopher Hooper: grapes.
Walden Briarhelm: shot. Oh, but was it the refreshing cold flavor of
Luke Neverisky: yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Oh, that'd be
Justin Hale: nose.
Christopher Hooper: awful up in your
Walden Briarhelm: Coca-Cola?
Justin Hale: H. No, it was Sprite and
Christopher Hooper: nose.
Walden Briarhelm: Oh,
Luke Neverisky: I
Walden Briarhelm: okay. I believe that I have uh I've locked
Luke Neverisky: see.
Walden Briarhelm: in knowing that that he do has a a
Tyram: Yes.
Walden Briarhelm: large quantity of grapes brew be able to do anything with that. I
Justin Hale: rum.
Walden Briarhelm: I think a single scroll of web for 240
Christopher Hooper: Spicy.
Walden Briarhelm: and then five scroll of acid splash for 100 for 340 total and then two potion of healing for 50 gold each. four. And then finally, one gold's worth of the oil
Christopher Hooper: Nice. All right. Uh, cool. That's great. at and uh they go around the the back shop and um get all your stuff into a nice little
Walden Briarhelm: flask.
Christopher Hooper: cart um and get you a little uh they hand it off to you. All right. Well, I don't know what you're doing with it, but don't tell me and I don't have to get in
Walden Briarhelm: Okay, I put
Justin Hale: Thanks for the free
Christopher Hooper: trouble. Oh,
Justin Hale: cart. I'm taking the
Christopher Hooper: no problem.
Walden Briarhelm: a I put a I put
Christopher Hooper: Um, as you as you leave the store, uh, one of the wheels locks
Justin Hale: cart.
Walden Briarhelm: my not the I was
Justin Hale: I carry
Christopher Hooper: up.
Justin Hale: it. I'm going to carry it. I'm going to I'm going to make it my own turtle
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah.
Walden Briarhelm: stealing. Brew, where should we go with these things? Where should we go? Do you have somewhere you can
Justin Hale: shell.
Walden Briarhelm: build a grape
Justin Hale: What? Right.
Walden Briarhelm: bomb? Yes. Are you not going to
Justin Hale: Bombs.
Walden Briarhelm: use the grapes?
Justin Hale: That's actually an
Walden Briarhelm: Oh, I knew you had it in
Justin Hale: interesting idea. Maybe we pull the insides of the grapes
Christopher Hooper: Um,
Justin Hale: out and we'll use the skin of the grapes as actual
Walden Briarhelm: you. Only you would think of
Justin Hale: bombs. That's pretty
Walden Briarhelm: this. So, we will
Justin Hale: unhinged. Uh, do we do we have access to the
Walden Briarhelm: uh
Justin Hale: room fall? The
Christopher Hooper: to the
Justin Hale: roomfall? The
Christopher Hooper: what? Um, yeah, you could head
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, he's
Justin Hale: van? Okay. Cuz that's where all my that's where all my artificer s***
Christopher Hooper: there.
Luke Neverisky: gone.
Walden Briarhelm: Oh, then we will go to the
Justin Hale: is.
Christopher Hooper: Um, cool. Uh, y'all had there. I'm going to head to
Walden Briarhelm: van.
Christopher Hooper: Helisana who's opt to buy armor.
Walden Briarhelm: Who? Oh, sorry. Yeah. Yeah, I guess.
Christopher Hooper: Um, uh, Leilleana. Lyanna, still adjusting.
Luke Neverisky: muscle
Christopher Hooper: Um, you find a um a shop that um looks like an armor shop. And you see just you see three children running around the store. Uh and they one is on a chair. Um,
Luke Neverisky: memory.
Christopher Hooper: and they are sword fighting another child with uh who's on the ground and says and a third one um pops out and says, "Oh, we got a customer. We got a customer." and they scatter and um they they um grab a large trench coat in the corner, hop on each other's shoulders,
Luke Neverisky: I
Christopher Hooper: and uh go behind the counter and says, "Hello, madame. Welcome to the
Luke Neverisky: said um I witness that I witness
Christopher Hooper: armory." Yeah.
Luke Neverisky: them like sword fighting.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Luke Neverisky: Okay. Um yeah, I'll play along. Um Oh, well hello. Good good uh sir. you are looking um tall and put together. Uh definitely not three people
Christopher Hooper: Of course
Luke Neverisky: in one. That's that's for sure. Um I'm looking
Christopher Hooper: not. That would be
[02:30:04]
Luke Neverisky: for that would be silly. But um well uh what's
Christopher Hooper: absurd.
Luke Neverisky: what's your name? I'm I'm kind of new and
Christopher Hooper: I am Mr. triple bottom. And I am the proprietor of this weapons
Luke Neverisky: sound.
Christopher Hooper: and armor
Luke Neverisky: All right, that's their purple bottom. Um, that's a very
Christopher Hooper: store. It is a
Luke Neverisky: colorful name. Um, so,
Christopher Hooper: long line over the Purple Bottom family.
Luke Neverisky: uh, yeah, sure. Um, so hey, I um was hoping, you know, I'm kind of needing some
Christopher Hooper: You
Luke Neverisky: armor and uh hoping you can help me out. Yeah. Yeah. Are you feeling
Christopher Hooper: you feel incredible. Why would you
Luke Neverisky: okay? Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: need armor?
Luke Neverisky: Um, well, have I mean I don't know. Earlier I saw some kids sword fighting around here and you know it's uh it's it's pretty rough out
Christopher Hooper: Oh, that is true. They are fearsome sword fighters. You could be stabbed at any
Luke Neverisky: here. See, that's why I need
Christopher Hooper: moment. Oh, fair play, madame.
Luke Neverisky: armor.
Christopher Hooper: If you want to be safe in a dangerous city like this, I have just the armor for
Luke Neverisky: Exactly.
Christopher Hooper: you, but it will cost you a pretty
Luke Neverisky: No. Oh, okay. I mean, I always thought pennies were pretty. They are
Christopher Hooper: penny. Yes. What
Luke Neverisky: shiny.
Christopher Hooper: kind of armor would you like? There is the shiny kind and there is the soft kind.
Luke Neverisky: I think that's off. That's just being a little more comfy, you
Christopher Hooper: Oh, and would you like it bedazzled? Would you like it um sewn with pretty
Luke Neverisky: know. Oh, what kind of a jazz? That just sounds
Christopher Hooper: pictures? Dazzled soft armor.
Luke Neverisky: amazing.
Christopher Hooper: Excellent. What a good choice. It looked so pretty. That will be 15,000 Pumpacus
Luke Neverisky: I assume you mean goal cuz I don't have You know what? Yeah, sure.
Christopher Hooper: skins. Yes. Oh, thank
Luke Neverisky: Pumpable to give. Yep. Here you
Christopher Hooper: you. And here you areazzled as
Luke Neverisky: go.
Christopher Hooper: I promised. And they hand you some studded leather armor.
Luke Neverisky: So question uh as far as this goes. So like I was saying the studded leather armor is common. There's no like uncommon s. There's the mariners studded
Christopher Hooper: Um, I think the uncommon
Luke Neverisky: leather I guess. Um
Christopher Hooper: is just like plus
Luke Neverisky: but that's rare category
Tyram: Yeah, I was looking at that earlier. Plus one armor is
Christopher Hooper: one. Oh, is
Luke Neverisky: as blue text.
Christopher Hooper: it?
Luke Neverisky: There's no. So, it's either common, which is white, or you can jump it to blue, or I think the mariners doesn't offer any AC buff. It's just the whole water breathing
Christopher Hooper: But it looks
Luke Neverisky: thing. Uh, it's
Tyram: rare.
Luke Neverisky: got fish and seashell motifs on it,
Christopher Hooper: cool. Pretty
Luke Neverisky: which I don't know. Um, how much is a common uh armor?
Christopher Hooper: cool. Uh hm.
Luke Neverisky: That wasn't on the list checker, so I'm
Christopher Hooper: that I will have to look up. Um, first I even look up like uh armor types. There's like a table
Luke Neverisky: guessing
Justin Hale: You're a table.
Christopher Hooper: shamware with all
Luke Neverisky: it's weird. The only light the only light armors are mariners that are uncommon. either then you just jump straight to
Christopher Hooper: the Okay.
Luke Neverisky: rare. Uh oh, wait. It would help if I unfiltered from the word leather. Um I still that still remains true. The only light armor is
Christopher Hooper: Uh I am currently trying to use DND beyond and it is not very
Luke Neverisky: mariners.
Christopher Hooper: useful. Um I think I think plus one studded armor is fine. even though that's supposed to be a rare because it's only um
Luke Neverisky: For what it's
Tyram: What? Oh, I guess that would be less expensive than the clo
Luke Neverisky: worth, yeah, for what it's worth, it's the same cost as
Tyram: protection. That makes sense. That's weird because clo protection is
Luke Neverisky: Mariners.
Tyram: better, but it costs uh but it's like a cloer protection is better, but it's a rarity category less, which doesn't really make any sense to me.
Christopher Hooper: 1,500
Tyram: Like, poker protection applies to saves as well, but it's considered uncommon. So that's that's strange to me
Luke Neverisky: Oh, very
Christopher Hooper: It's saying I don't know why it's saying
Luke Neverisky: good.
Christopher Hooper: that. Okay, it's fine. For some reason, this like magic shop says studded armor plus one is gamechanging, and I
Tyram: as
Christopher Hooper: just don't really believe that.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, I saw
Tyram: um I assume their logic is that anything that gives you a bonus to attack rolls or to AC is pretty significant. So that's what I assume they mean by game changing. kind of like how flying
Luke Neverisky: that.
Tyram: is like just it completely changes the way you could
Luke Neverisky: Why is
Tyram: like strategize about fights and
Christopher Hooper: Oh, right, right. Um, that's fair. Yeah, actually that probably is rare. I forgot that plus one is like plus one to stats and not just like better
Tyram: stuff. it would make your so studded leather on
Christopher Hooper: armor, which is what we're interested in right
Luke Neverisky: it?
Tyram: its own would be like 12 plus your dex mod. Um,
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Tyram: studded leather plus one would be 13 plus your Dex mod. So it is it is it makes your AC
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, then I could
Christopher Hooper: now.
Luke Neverisky: settle for a common and then presumably it's
Christopher Hooper: So the studded leather just by itself is
Luke Neverisky: cheaper
Tyram: better.
Christopher Hooper: 45 gold.
Luke Neverisky: significantly. Perfect. And I'll do that
Tyram: I don't think I can afford it
Christopher Hooper: Okay,
Luke Neverisky: instead.
Tyram: right now, but I definitely will put cloak of protection on my wish
Christopher Hooper: cool. Wish
Tyram: list for
Christopher Hooper: list.
Tyram: later.
Christopher Hooper: Nice. Um, all right. Cool. And, uh, Taylor, did you want to do
Tyram: Um yes.
Christopher Hooper: something? Um, so, uh, there's a group headed back to the Veroonfall, um, to do
Tyram: Yeah, I think I'll join that
Christopher Hooper: experiments.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. What's
Christopher Hooper: Um, okay. So, Ma, uh,
Luke Neverisky: wrong?
Christopher Hooper: Brew and Silus head to the, uh, broomfall. Um, you see, uh, Scarlet
Tyram: group.
Christopher Hooper: there, and it sounds like she has set up like a experimentation uh, space in the cavern um, of the Roomfall and has been uh, running experiments in it. Um, and there's like a nice little like living space there. Um, he says, "Oh, hey. Uh, I wasn't expecting
Justin Hale: Nope. Make
Christopher Hooper: you. Uh, are we leaving? What's going
Walden Briarhelm: Do you do it
Justin Hale: some space and I start like clearing stuff off of the
Christopher Hooper: on?" Hey.
Walden Briarhelm: in like a Go ahead.

Justin Hale: fine.
Christopher Hooper: Kevin. Um,
Justin Hale: We're going to kit him out with

Christopher Hooper: Okay. Okay.
Justin Hale: hold it's going to hold little little potions instead.
Luke Neverisky: I know
Justin Hale: Uh, and then I'm going to get to work on the uh, scroll of web, making that into like a little thing that he can wear on his wrist, like a little bracelet that he can just shoot out like a like a Spider-Man
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Okay. We will say um that cost you
Luke Neverisky: you're
Justin Hale: What?
Christopher Hooper: a
Walden Briarhelm: Yes, very pricey.
Christopher Hooper: 240. Uh what does that what does that do? What does that do?
Justin Hale: Yes, it makes a
Christopher Hooper: That's
Justin Hale: web. I actually don't know. I didn't look it up. Um
Tyram: Oh, the
Christopher Hooper: um it's like a second level
Tyram: spell. Basically, it creates
Christopher Hooper: spell.
Tyram: just like a spot on the ground that is sticky and anyone who steps in, it has to make a saving thrower get
Christopher Hooper: Uh Justin, Justin,
Walden Briarhelm: Oh, you should figure out a way to make it so that the web
Christopher Hooper: Justin.
Tyram: stuck.
Walden Briarhelm: is even stickier than normal, so it's harder for them to escape. Put your special twist on it to brew.
Christopher Hooper: So, the
Justin Hale: What?
Christopher Hooper: scroll is like a one-time use.
Justin Hale: Mhm.
Christopher Hooper: So, you can do you can set this contraption up for him
Justin Hale: That was the
Christopher Hooper: to use one time. Is that okay? Is that what you're
Justin Hale: plan. Yeah. Well, so the the contraption itself uses
Christopher Hooper: thinking? Okay. Okay.
Justin Hale: the scroll, but like the contraption is still there. So like basically you can load it with scrolls is is what
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Justin Hale: I'm
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Yeah. Yeah, that's cool. All right. Yeah, that sounds
Justin Hale: doing. Cool.

Walden Briarhelm: Silus or Liliana were here to hear this
Justin Hale: Liliana. They
Walden Briarhelm: conversation? Yes. I'm sure they would totally understand our
Justin Hale: would love it. They would think, "Oh my

Walden Briarhelm: Brown. Oh, purple. I think that sounds good, too.

[02:50:04]
Christopher Hooper: buy? You got a couple scrolls of
Walden Briarhelm: Yeah, there were 20
Justin Hale: Oh, we didn't actually buy
Christopher Hooper: acid splash, right?
Walden Briarhelm: each. I think we got five. Well, you're uh you are at you will figure out how to extract the acid from this group or just use it
Justin Hale: acid. Is that a thing I can
Walden Briarhelm: and activate it and uh fire the acid
Justin Hale: do?
Walden Briarhelm: into a vial or something. You you know, science it up.
Justin Hale: Oh, I see. Oh, yes. This This is part This is exactly what I was thinking. Good. Good

Christopher Hooper: Well, well, you have Well, you
Luke Neverisky: What's your scroll to great?
Walden Briarhelm: rate?
Christopher Hooper: have five uh uses.
Justin Hale: make?
Christopher Hooper: Um, it does 1 D6. So, I don't know if you want to flavor it like each grape is a is a
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: potential damage acid damage or however you want to flavor it. But you have five uses of

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah, I think a bushel. But you have to throw like a handful at a
Walden Briarhelm: I
Justin Hale: here.
Christopher Hooper: time to be meaningful.

Ellis Taylor: them a bunch?
Walden Briarhelm: I think I was only able to afford two.

Walden Briarhelm: Well, it depends on which system of cost we were looking at because the one website was very expensive and the other website was manageable and I
Christopher Hooper: over? Well, if you use the the magic shop, then
Ellis Taylor: 12.
Walden Briarhelm: have what is
Christopher Hooper: that one has a has a adjusted one.

Ellis Taylor: And we've just been with an actual child that we've been giving
Tyram: time? Yeah,
Ellis Taylor: like bombs to or like cream
Tyram: very
Ellis Taylor: bombs.
Tyram: precocious. Well, hey, honestly, the lifespan is whatever you say it is, to so it's
Christopher Hooper: Uh, okay.
Luke Neverisky: Yep.
Christopher Hooper: I was going on something much shorter. I think Justin and I were
Justin Hale: Yeah, there's like 10 to 20 or something. But why
Christopher Hooper: both Yeah.
Tyram: whatever.
Justin Hale: why can't I find that
Christopher Hooper: I don't know either. They say I'm saying they can live up to

Justin Hale: now?
Christopher Hooper: Um
Tyram: framework where like they live this long in the wild but in captivity
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Tyram: they live up to 60 years

Justin Hale: says 11.
Christopher Hooper: Okay. 11.
Tyram: have known each other for at least three years. Sounds about right to me.
Christopher Hooper: Okay. So 30 is considered old age. I think like 60 is like
Ellis Taylor: the
Tyram: Yeah.
Walden Briarhelm: A
Justin Hale: Yeah. Yeah. It's like humans living to
Christopher Hooper: max max like very very very
Ellis Taylor: crap head.
Christopher Hooper: old. Yeah.
Walden Briarhelm: wire.
Christopher Hooper: Um, and I think it is also like harsh
Justin Hale: 100.
Christopher Hooper: lifestyle like goblins rarely live past S25

Christopher Hooper: type of
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
