Christopher Hooper: associated to it, right?
Tyram: frustrating. Yes.
Christopher Hooper: You check spam and already all that
Tyram: I check spam. Um, it's been days and days since I tried the send me the
Christopher Hooper: b*******.

Luke Neverisky: Yes.
Tyram: You guys will be pleased to know that that uh Silus an even better liar than he was
Christopher Hooper: Did you Did you already have reliable palen on
Tyram: before. I have reliable talent on it. Yeah, but I just uh I took the feed I took gives me another bump to charisma. So, it was enough to get me up
Christopher Hooper: it? Oh my god. Oh my god.
Tyram: to a plus four. I'm
Christopher Hooper: You could be lying to us right
Luke Neverisky: is
Tyram: so charismatic. I'm like the second most charismatic person in this
Christopher Hooper: now.
Luke Neverisky: full. Is that
Tyram: party. I would assume so since you're a
Luke Neverisky: me?
Tyram: bard. And you're less charismatic than I am. Something has gone
Christopher Hooper: You know,
Tyram: terribly
Christopher Hooper: Luke, I guess I really need
Tyram: wrong.
Christopher Hooper: to toss you into some Liliana
Justin Hale: Please.
Christopher Hooper: based social situations. I don't know
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: what that is, but feel free to, you know, let me know.
Luke Neverisky: Yes.
Tyram: Well, I was pondering ways we could try to revive this uh moon goddess. And Liliana is uh central to the
Christopher Hooper: Um.
Luke Neverisky: I have to persuade her, right? Is that what it is?
Tyram: scheme I have in
Christopher Hooper: Oh. Oh,
Luke Neverisky: Because Yeah, because I have persuaded her.
Tyram: mind. Sorry. Say
Christopher Hooper: yeah. Instead of dying, what if he
Luke Neverisky: That's
Tyram: what? Well, that could be plan B, but
Christopher Hooper: didn't?
Tyram: um well, I guess we can talk about that in character
Luke Neverisky: not
Christopher Hooper: Um, so Taylor, what you're telling me is you are not capable of leveling up. Is that right?
Tyram: here. Uh, not online.
Christopher Hooper: Digitally.
Tyram: Now, if you want to level me up uh for
Christopher Hooper: Okay, man. That's
Tyram: me, I wouldn't stop you. Hey, don't don't know if you don't want want
Christopher Hooper: annoying. All right, we'll figure it out later, I guess. Maybe I'll maybe I'll uh when you're over on um on Sunday, we can look at it or
Tyram: to. Maybe
Christopher Hooper: something. And Zach is also having trouble logging in.
Tyram: Get
Christopher Hooper: Is that what you said?
Walden Briarhelm: I'm going to keep troubleshooting and I'll figure it
Tyram: myself. Everybody add their 1,000
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Thousand
Luke Neverisky: Weird. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: gold, 1 million
Tyram: gold.
Christopher Hooper: copper.
Luke Neverisky: You just had to say cop.
Christopher Hooper: Anyone else? Uh, level 10 should be a pretty good level, right?
Luke Neverisky: Not very exciting
Christopher Hooper: Oh,
Luke Neverisky: for a board
Tyram: I got a
Christopher Hooper: okay. We love
Luke Neverisky: that spells. We love
Justin Hale: Yeah, you keep saying that. I feel like you love
Christopher Hooper: feed. You don't love
Luke Neverisky: feet. I I love
Christopher Hooper: feet. Luke gets
Luke Neverisky: feet.
Tyram: feet. So was all about them feets.
Christopher Hooper: it.
Luke Neverisky: Now you say you love the love feet over here or are you in love with
Christopher Hooper: I just love
Justin Hale: faint.
Tyram: Oh, hey, you get magical secrets. That's pretty
Luke Neverisky: feet? That just means I can swap out my spells when I bubble. Is that what that
Tyram: rad. It means
Christopher Hooper: feet. Yeah,
Luke Neverisky: means? That's why my spell
Tyram: you can pick spells from any spell
Christopher Hooper: it is critical. This is this is where you
Luke Neverisky: is so
Christopher Hooper: dream big,
Luke Neverisky: big. All right. All right. dreaming
Tyram: list. Well, I said any
Christopher Hooper: Luke.
Tyram: spell list. Um, you can pick from uh bard,
Christopher Hooper: Isn't
Luke Neverisky: big. Oh
Tyram: cleric, druid, and wizard. The
Christopher Hooper: wizard every spell
Tyram: wizard is like the only thing that that
Christopher Hooper: list, right?
Tyram: really uh leaves out is like smite spells from a paladin and
Luke Neverisky: god, I'm just
Tyram: uh you know, the signature ranger spell, hunter
Luke Neverisky: correct.
Christopher Hooper: Okay. I mean, it would be overpowered if he got hunter's
Luke Neverisky: Yes. Honestly,
Tyram: mark.
Christopher Hooper: mark.
Tyram: Hunter's Mark's such a good spell, right? I mean, it's such a huge game changer when you have access to
Luke Neverisky: it's who would never who would forget to use that? I mean, it's
[00:10:00]
Tyram: Hunter's
Luke Neverisky: just so critical, you
Ellis Taylor: who actively decided never to use it. Just decide it
Christopher Hooper: It is funny that like
Luke Neverisky: know?
Tyram: Mark.
Ellis Taylor: was beneath
Christopher Hooper: some classes almost to their detriment are like built around specific mechanics like a warlock in Eldrich Blast like you can
Ellis Taylor: them.
Christopher Hooper: build a non-Eldrich blast warlock.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Um, and but why? And it's
Justin Hale: So why would
Christopher Hooper: also like using Hunter's Mark for Ranger. And they made it even more so in I think
Ellis Taylor: Oh,
Christopher Hooper: 2024.
Tyram: Oh yeah, they really doubled down on the
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Tyram: hunter's mark being like the ranger
Ellis Taylor: really? I
Christopher Hooper: That's
Ellis Taylor: don't know. Just had us so many other things to
Luke Neverisky: Why?
Ellis Taylor: do. I don't feel like I I'm going to look
Tyram: thing.
Ellis Taylor: up a paladin chart because I feel like I only get a class
Tyram: Oh, you got aura of courage. That's pretty
Ellis Taylor: feature.
Christopher Hooper: good. Zach, how did you figure
Tyram: sick. Immune to fear
Christopher Hooper: out your account? You just kept doing it until it
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. 10th level or of courage and a plus four. Same spell
Walden Briarhelm: Now that I'm in,
Tyram: now.
Ellis Taylor: slots. That's really
Walden Briarhelm: level 10 does look really good. I get to do three actions when I do
Ellis Taylor: it. How
Christopher Hooper: worked.
Walden Briarhelm: my special instead of two. Three unarmed strikes
Ellis Taylor: many
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Walden Briarhelm: for one key point.
Ellis Taylor: level? One, two, one, two,
Christopher Hooper: Three. All
Walden Briarhelm: Focus. Yes.
Tyram: Well, three additional unarmed strikes. So, you still get that's a total of
Walden Briarhelm: Yes. It's a lot. Feel like I'm break dance thing
Luke Neverisky: roll.
Tyram: five.
Ellis Taylor: three.
Christopher Hooper: right. All right, Taylor. Let's level you
Walden Briarhelm: now.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Tyram: Yeah. All right. Okay. Uh, my new HP is
Christopher Hooper: up. How did that happen? Oh, you're just doing it manually.
Tyram: 64. I I rolled I rolled for
Christopher Hooper: Okay, gotcha.
Tyram: it. And um I picked the feat of
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Luke Neverisky: The
Tyram: telekinetic.
Christopher Hooper: Beat.
Tyram: And I think that's
Christopher Hooper: Okay. And you chose
Tyram: it.
Christopher Hooper: charisma.
Tyram: Charisma.
Christopher Hooper: Great. You learned maintain.
Tyram: So yeah, that was pretty quick and dirty. Yeah, made pan.
Christopher Hooper: Nice.
Tyram: I get that little push thing that push push or pull,
Christopher Hooper: All right, there we
Luke Neverisky: heat.
Christopher Hooper: are. Wait, why didn't
Tyram: but
Christopher Hooper: this Oh, wait. What? What? What did you say? 64.
Tyram: I agree.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Okay, there we go. All right. How's
Tyram: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: everyone's week
Justin Hale: You
Christopher Hooper: going? I
Luke Neverisky: You know, you don't
Tyram: I had a pretty solid
Christopher Hooper: don't
Justin Hale: know, Level 10 for Artifister seems
Tyram: week.
Walden Briarhelm: Yeah, I
Luke Neverisky: Well, I love that for
Walden Briarhelm: Everybody's so happy for you.
Luke Neverisky: you.
Justin Hale: busted, I get I get level 10 replicate magic
Walden Briarhelm: I thought you were going to say you get two turns.
Justin Hale: item and I can also craft
Christopher Hooper: Good
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Justin Hale: uncommon magic
Tyram: Oh,
Christopher Hooper: morning. Good morning.
Tyram: cool. I think that includes things
Justin Hale: items. Yeah, there's a
Tyram: like winged
Justin Hale: there's a big long list. I have to pay for it, but I don't think that's an
Tyram: boots.
Justin Hale: issue.
Walden Briarhelm: What? Level 10 is weird. I have self-restoration through sheer force of will. You can remove charmed, frightened, or poisoned at the end of each of your turns. That's I can like Hulk. I can anger away
Luke Neverisky: Nope. You're
Walden Briarhelm: my my ailments.
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Also, now y'all, my aura protection. You can't be scared when you're near me,
Luke Neverisky: not. Damn straight.
Justin Hale: Does use a
Tyram: When Olivia is here, you've no need to fear.
Ellis Taylor: too. Granny's
Justin Hale: weapon? Zack, does use a
Ellis Taylor: here.
Christopher Hooper: I don't think
Justin Hale: weapon? Does use a weapon? His hands. He throw his hands.
Christopher Hooper: so.
Walden Briarhelm: Yeah, I think I can wear like iron knuckle kind of things, but I probably won't even do that. Unarmed is pretty
Justin Hale: Okay.
Walden Briarhelm: great. But if you can make my unarmed strike infuse with like elements or something, I'd be done with that. I don't know if that's a thing. I basically want to become Ang. Ninja Turtles is too easy.
Justin Hale: What did I see a second ago for unarmed stuff? Am I crazy? Maybe. Maybe I'm crazy.
Tyram: What are you crazy about?
Christopher Hooper: I think
Justin Hale: I I thought I saw something earlier that uh allowed me
Christopher Hooper: another
Justin Hale: to increase uh non nonweapon holding things just like using your hands. I lost it now
Christopher Hooper: I don't even know what you're talking
Justin Hale: though. I don't even know what I'm talking about, dude.
Christopher Hooper: about. Aim. Who has the lowest amount of HP? Like max HP
Tyram: I assume
Christopher Hooper: now? I don't think
Luke Neverisky: I have
Ellis Taylor: Shouldn't it go up after leveling up? It's
Christopher Hooper: so. Uh, it
Luke Neverisky: 63.
Ellis Taylor: still only 84. Why am I trying to use my
Christopher Hooper: does go up every
Walden Briarhelm: I just hit 103
Tyram: me.
Ellis Taylor: mouse? Does it automatically should D and D beyond automatically do
Christopher Hooper: level.
Ellis Taylor: it? Feel like it was 84 last
Christopher Hooper: Yes.
Walden Briarhelm: likes.
Ellis Taylor: time. Maybe I'm
Walden Briarhelm: Uh has put his thousand gold into the party
Luke Neverisky: Mhm.
Walden Briarhelm: inventory as his monk ways don't require him to need gold. also lucky to bring some snacks. So that helps.
Luke Neverisky: still.
Ellis Taylor: wrong.
Christopher Hooper: Okay, Liliana is up to 63 now.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Mhm. I think I'm lowest. Is that
Christopher Hooper: Okay. By one point.
Tyram: Huh? How' that happen? What's your constitution modifier?
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Luke Neverisky: right? Uh one
Tyram: Because I don't have one.
Christopher Hooper: But you have um rogues have a larger hit die than
Tyram: Huh? Don't guards have a d8?
Luke Neverisky: Ah, I'm looking. I do have a DA.
Tyram: I'm I'm
Christopher Hooper: birds I
Tyram: very surprised that mine's bigger than yours
Christopher Hooper: guess by one point.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, right. So, it's
Tyram: then. Well, he should have just 10 hit points automatically like
Christopher Hooper: So I guess he's been rolling
Tyram: that I didn't get, you know.
Christopher Hooper: like
Luke Neverisky: Guess we're all like
Christopher Hooper: s***. Okay. It's okay to not roll.
Luke Neverisky: s***. Yeah, it's just another day.
Christopher Hooper: Well, um I have
Luke Neverisky: There's another day around the wall.
Christopher Hooper: to baby a little bit. Um so feel free to plan and
Justin Hale: Thanks.
Christopher Hooper: scheme as much as you
Luke Neverisky: All right.
Ellis Taylor: How do you calculate what your hit point should
Tyram: Um, every level
Ellis Taylor: be? I just want to double check that D&D Beyond's actually doing
Christopher Hooper: want. It's not
Tyram: you should get, um, your hit die, which for a paladin is a d10, uh, plus your constitution
Ellis Taylor: it.
Tyram: modifier.
Ellis Taylor: Mhm.
Tyram: I think DND Beyond automatically gives you the average. Um, which I think would be uh six for a
Luke Neverisky: Oh
Christopher Hooper: bracelet.
Luke Neverisky: my god, the
Ellis Taylor: How do I? So, I see my constitution
Tyram: paladin. Okay. If your con is plus two,
Ellis Taylor: up here. It says only plus two, but am I
Tyram: you should have been getting at least eight every uh level
Ellis Taylor: proficient?
Tyram: up.
Ellis Taylor: Okay, so I'm at 84. So sure.
Luke Neverisky: There's so many spells to
Tyram: Okay.
Luke Neverisky: choose now. Oh my
Tyram: Yeah. Um, there's a lot to go through. And are you at a
Luke Neverisky: god.
Justin Hale: Listen.
Tyram: fifth level spells right now or are you fourth level?
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: fifth level
Luke Neverisky: This little
Tyram: Okay.
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: spells. Oh, I get third eye at level 10. Increase my perception
[00:20:00]
Tyram: Now sick. All the rest of us
Christopher Hooper: powers.
Luke Neverisky: spells
Tyram: with just two eyes are going to be so
Christopher Hooper: Oh,
Luke Neverisky: jealous.
Christopher Hooper: okay. Interesting. So, my choices are dark vision, greater comprehension, and see
Tyram: jealous.
Christopher Hooper: invisibility. Yeah, they're very
Tyram: Those are all pretty
Christopher Hooper: uh campaign specific. I hope
Tyram: cool. Well, the
Christopher Hooper: my DM knows about
Tyram: good and bad news about divination wizards is you get arguably
Christopher Hooper: it.
Tyram: the best ability in the game immediately and then everything after
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, you're talking about
Tyram: that is worse than that.
Christopher Hooper: port. Yeah, I love
Tyram: Fortent is amazing. Yes.
Christopher Hooper: porton. Now my hit points is really
Tyram: Well, you're a wizard, so they should
Christopher Hooper: bad. Yeah, but it's it's 62 or 32 which
Luke Neverisky: Hurry.
Tyram: be. Oh, it Wow, that is very
Christopher Hooper: is so low.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Tyram: bad.
Christopher Hooper: It's so funny anytime I actually have the Scarlet in combat cuz she's like she's a glass cannon. I don't even know if she's a
Walden Briarhelm: Did you say that she has 30 something
Christopher Hooper: cannon. 32 health.
Walden Briarhelm: coke?
Tyram: Oh, you know what? She's a crystal ball because she does
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. Very
Tyram: divination.
Christopher Hooper: nice. You're
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Oh, she's just
Christopher Hooper: right. Yes.
Justin Hale: Toeer a replicate item is going to be
Ellis Taylor: talking.
Christopher Hooper: Eyes of the
Justin Hale: eyes of the
Christopher Hooper: eagle.
Justin Hale: eagle. It
Ellis Taylor: You
Christopher Hooper: What? Isn't your
Justin Hale: means I get advantage on perception
Christopher Hooper: perception already crazy high?
Luke Neverisky: I know it's
Justin Hale: checks.
Christopher Hooper: Oh
Justin Hale: Yeah.
Tyram: Doesn't your sentinel shield give you advantage on perception
Christopher Hooper: no. Yes, it
Luke Neverisky: real.
Justin Hale: Oh, does it?
Tyram: checks? It might.
Justin Hale: Oh, hell yeah. Okay, cool. Pick something else
Christopher Hooper: does. Double advantage. Super
Ellis Taylor: you
Christopher Hooper: advantage.
Justin Hale: stupid. Just
Tyram: Don't even roll. You just you see whatever it is, you
Ellis Taylor: duh. I
Justin Hale: always roll for perception. I don't think I
Ellis Taylor: see all. I am a
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, you're you're rolling. You're rolling just to see
Justin Hale: will.
Christopher Hooper: if you accidentally get distracted by something else you also
Justin Hale: Should I
Tyram: know.
Ellis Taylor: god. He now has super ADHD because he just sees everything. He's like,
Christopher Hooper: perceive. Yeah. Yeah. He saw the
Justin Hale: take
Ellis Taylor: "Hey, hey,
Christopher Hooper: thing that he needed to see, but he got distracted by something else. He also
Ellis Taylor: hey." Yeah.
Justin Hale: Oh, wait a minute. What is
Christopher Hooper: saw in the
Justin Hale: this?
Christopher Hooper: ar
Justin Hale: The other option is I could take Helm of Telepathy and give it to
Tyram: so also completely
Justin Hale: Silas.
Tyram: redundant. Don't I I'm
Justin Hale: Why? Yeah, but the helmet of telepathy lets you read people's
Tyram: already telepathic, aren't
Justin Hale: thoughts.
Tyram: I? Um, okay. So, I want to be able to just talk and actually be able to read people.
Justin Hale: Oh, it does let you communicate telepathically though as
Tyram: Okay, never mind. Never mind. Yeah, that was the only part I remembered. My
Justin Hale: well. This might
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Oh, you're doing that because of your your artificer. I'm
Justin Hale: be
Christopher Hooper: like, how are you getting these magical items? Oh,
Justin Hale: good. Yeah, I can make magical
Ellis Taylor: How you going going
Christopher Hooper: right. Yeah. Well, I just gave
Justin Hale: items, too. Now I just need gold.
Tyram: bad.
Christopher Hooper: you some. Great. You're
Justin Hale: Yeah, we we have a whole bank of
Ellis Taylor: shopping?
Christopher Hooper: welcome.
Justin Hale: Bugatti, too. Wait a minute. Okay, now this might be the thing to get the per wound
Christopher Hooper: Somewhere
Justin Hale: closure. You're always stabilized and rolling hit die. regains double the hit points that it
Luke Neverisky: need
Justin Hale: restores. That sounds really good. Yeah, that might be the
Luke Neverisky: a my um so I got to pick a new spell and because I now have access to other presumably it's druids um I picked conjure animals and you can begin sure I'm going to conjure a herd of sheep
Justin Hale: thing.
Tyram: Oh
Ellis Taylor: Oo. Yes.
Christopher Hooper: There's too many sheep. We can't We don't stand a chance. Is someone
Justin Hale: Oh,
Tyram: s***.

Justin Hale: moving. Nope. I see it now. Taylor wing boots. That's got
Christopher Hooper: Are you
Justin Hale: to be the That's got to be the option. I don't know. Perioptive of wound closure is pretty dope.
Tyram: You'd get so much more use
Ellis Taylor: No, you
Tyram: out of the flying
Ellis Taylor: definitely need to fly. Remember how helpful it was
Tyram: though.
Ellis Taylor: when all of us could
Justin Hale: Yeah. Can I take replicate magic item
Ellis Taylor: fly? All except
Justin Hale: multiple times? Holy
Ellis Taylor: one.
Christopher Hooper: still have to do
Tyram: Yes.
Christopher Hooper: some some anti-aircraft b******* like uh
Justin Hale: s***.

Christopher Hooper: campaign
Tyram: uh you guys are more uh yeah melee range
Ellis Taylor: Yes. Yeah. That's my biggest concern when we're
Christopher Hooper: melee.
Walden Briarhelm: What was the uh what was the

Tyram: debranched.
Christopher Hooper: up.
Luke Neverisky: up.
Justin Hale: minute.
Ellis Taylor: Ouch. I'm ready. I'm just waiting on my
Christopher Hooper: Taylor, what is your plan for
Ellis Taylor: tea.
Christopher Hooper: Liliana?
Tyram: Oh. Um. Oh. So, do you want us to do this in character or like No, I don't
Christopher Hooper: Sorry, I muted myself. Up to
Luke Neverisky: Let's do
Tyram: care. Okay. Well, I don't know. I feel like it could be an end conversate in character
Christopher Hooper: you. Sure. Y'all are uh y'all are on the
Luke Neverisky: it. The end.
Tyram: conversation. I
Christopher Hooper: boat back about to hit the harbor. You see a welcome
Tyram: think
Christopher Hooper: committee.
Tyram: Okay. So, yeah, sometime on the way
Christopher Hooper: Mhm.
Tyram: back, uh it it takes a while to sail back into town, right? So, um yeah, as we're uh going back, um so Ma, your uh your goddess looked to be in pretty f****** rough shape back
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Tyram: there. I know I'm right. But anyway,
Luke Neverisky: Who was on mute? You would
Christopher Hooper: He's so He's so upset about it that he just can't
Luke Neverisky: definitely
Christopher Hooper: talk about
[00:30:00]
Walden Briarhelm: I assume you guys are targeting me because I wasn't on or wasn't
Christopher Hooper: it.
Walden Briarhelm: at my computer. I'm call what I do wrong or do
Tyram: um I said something to Ma and you were gone.
Walden Briarhelm: right. Oh, Elmo was still sleeping or wherever he ended
Luke Neverisky: every
Christopher Hooper: Yes.
Walden Briarhelm: last time.
Tyram: So I think I said you dropped your contact
Christopher Hooper: Good
Luke Neverisky: guys.
Tyram: lenses. So, I don't know if that's canon or not, but yeah. Anyway, um, so Ma, uh, your goddess looked to be in pretty
Walden Briarhelm: I uh yes, I I
Tyram: f****** rough shape back
Walden Briarhelm: I cannot believe what has happened to
Christopher Hooper: girl.
Walden Briarhelm: Luna.
Tyram: there. Oh, it's pretty believable. She got shot with a space cannon. I mean, we all saw her
Walden Briarhelm: Yes, but
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Tyram: die effectively.
Walden Briarhelm: I had to continue to be in this shape has been very difficult for me to live
Tyram: See, I figured you're really torn up about it. I know Olivia's uh all uh handhankerous about the the new moon situation.
Walden Briarhelm: through.
Tyram: So, I've thought of a way we might be able to do something about that. And it involves our highly talented uh musical stylings of Liliana Goldstein here.
Luke Neverisky: Oh
Tyram: Yeah. So, Eldora got all powerful at least in part by amassing worship, right? Like she did like the the slow laborious process
Luke Neverisky: no.
Tyram: of garnering praise, which was probably easy of her because she's an empress. But what
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Tyram: if we started to have some music festivals and Liliana was able to garner worship through her concerts for
Luke Neverisky: But people
Tyram: Luna. And this is in addition to maybe pilfering some of the relics from the Elderans and use feeding them to Luna or whatever. And most importantly, we could definitely monetize
Luke Neverisky: work. I'm just here for the music. I don't have to
Tyram: this.
Luke Neverisky: monetize.
Tyram: Oh, we do. And you know what? Hey, I'll even do it legit. Like, we can make some like t-shirts or some s*** because apparently you have the frustrating ability to make your uh concert goers less susceptible to scams. And I was furious about that, but I'm
Luke Neverisky: He's so creative,
Tyram: adapting. Damn
Ellis Taylor: When was
Luke Neverisky: right? I need to come up with something.
Tyram: it. Oh, it was a few weeks
Luke Neverisky: Listen, as long as you don't here just for the vibe
Tyram: ago. They were buying up
Luke Neverisky: and
Tyram: these uh s***** crystal things I was making Brew make, but then they're like, "Wait a minute. This is crap." And they were right, but I hated that they could see through it. It was
Luke Neverisky: Now sometimes you just got to work a little
Tyram: really
Ellis Taylor: that?
Luke Neverisky: harder.
Justin Hale: I thought they were
Tyram: frustrating.
Justin Hale: great. I don't know what they
Tyram: I thought they were good too, Brew, but just I guess we were trying to over like sell them at too high a price. But
Justin Hale: were.
Luke Neverisky: Okay.
Tyram: um yeah, we might be able to, you know, help everybody out here. Liliana gets to grow her like musical community. Luna gets to uh garner some worship. I get some
Walden Briarhelm: I do not see any issues with
Luke Neverisky: So, I guess that's not so
Tyram: money.
Walden Briarhelm: this. Everybody gets what they want. This is a great
Luke Neverisky: bad.
Walden Briarhelm: solution. Is there any butt? Is there Is there any
Ellis Taylor: It does kind of sound like
Walden Briarhelm: bad blood?
Ellis Taylor: you're trying to like uh recruit people into a Luna cult, but if we save the goddess, I guess it's okay. I think it's very
Tyram: I
Ellis Taylor: important that we bring snacks. I feel like there's always snacks at these kinds of
Walden Briarhelm: I I
Tyram: mean, put more generously, we are having a revival
Walden Briarhelm: have
Luke Neverisky: Yes, that's
Tyram: for the Church of Luna.
Ellis Taylor: things.
Luke Neverisky: nice.
Tyram: It's not a cult if there's already a religion behind it. or I guess they're technically whatever the point is that this is there's a there's an air of legitimacy to this that normally cults don't
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, I don't want to be a part of a cult,
Tyram: have. Well, you'd be
Luke Neverisky: but no, I don't I don't that doesn't
Tyram: the leader of the
Luke Neverisky: really leader of a cult, you could say. And I just I don't
Walden Briarhelm: You could just tell all of your
Luke Neverisky: know.
Walden Briarhelm: followers to put their praise to Luna instead of to you.
Tyram: cult
Luke Neverisky: Okay, that's
Walden Briarhelm: I do have concerns. Silus, you mentioned you want to do this all legitimately. I am I I am concerned something has changed in you. I like it, but I fear that something may change and we may need to be
Luke Neverisky: fair. Is it the
Walden Briarhelm: prepared. It is the
Luke Neverisky: vibes?
Walden Briarhelm: vibes.
Tyram: Well, I mean, as long as I'm making money, you know, that's all that
Walden Briarhelm: Okay.
Tyram: really matters
Walden Briarhelm: Fully uh where I I didn't hear the review and
Tyram: here.
Walden Briarhelm: I didn't read the session notes because I'm a piece of crap. Uh where did we end the last session? Are we still at
Tyram: It was basically wall-to-wall dragon fighting
Walden Briarhelm: body? Oh, we
Luke Neverisky: I think over now pulling into great part. Is that
Tyram: last
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Walden Briarhelm: are back on a ship or the ship. Got
Luke Neverisky: right?
Tyram: time. Heading back.
Ellis Taylor: Mhm. We were pulling
Walden Briarhelm: it.
Tyram: Yeah. Yeah. One of the boats
Ellis Taylor: into Greyport and there was like a party waiting for us. Oh, there is
Tyram: went down. Um, we were told to tell I think it was
Ellis Taylor: a
Tyram: Jenkins's fiance that he's dead. I don't know if we're actually going to do that or
Ellis Taylor: barbecue.
Tyram: not, but there was there's a last record. You know what? One of the f****** Georgia guys can do
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. He was bringing
Tyram: that. That's not our problem. But
Walden Briarhelm: Okay.
Luke Neverisky: the main, wasn't he? That was one of the issues. It's
Christopher Hooper: I believe
Walden Briarhelm: So
Luke Neverisky: like f***, I can't remember what it was.
Christopher Hooper: uh the captain of the SS Jenkins requested that the captain of the SS Leroy and HQ do that. So I don't think that's on your plate unless you want
Tyram: um Okay. Okay. Cool. Oh, the boats were Leroy and Jenkins. I thought it was the dudes, my
Christopher Hooper: to. No. Yeah, it's the boats.
Walden Briarhelm: So um in the previous session we had ended right after the ritual and I think that's maybe what caused dragons to show up. What was the final outcome of the ritual? I do not recall. Perfect.
Tyram: mister. As far as we can tell, it completely
Walden Briarhelm: Okay. are the
Tyram: worked. Oh. Um, one important thing to note is that we have uh created the deception amongst the St. George crowd that we have lost the orb when in fact uh Brew built a Faraday cage for it to try to block it from their
Walden Briarhelm: uh did
Ellis Taylor: Also, you know that we sent them the wrong information, right?
Walden Briarhelm: the and there was
Ellis Taylor: Yes. You and I did the arm wrestling. That's right. We
Walden Briarhelm: an inter did you guys successfully intercept where the location of the other
Ellis Taylor: sabotaged
Walden Briarhelm: orbs are?
Tyram: sensors. We didn't go over where they are, but we should have that information.
Walden Briarhelm: Excellent. Okay. I feel uncaught up then. So, we are now on or exiting the
Ellis Taylor: the Yeah, you
Christopher Hooper: Um,
Walden Briarhelm: boat. That's, you know, got
Ellis Taylor: really just missed rad
Christopher Hooper: I I owe you um
Walden Briarhelm: to pick my battles.
Ellis Taylor: fighting.
Christopher Hooper: coordinates to uh I'll tell you this. Uh you got coordinates for two other
Tyram: Yes.
Christopher Hooper: locations. Um, and I owe you those coordinates and they're going to be they're like latitude longitude coordinates science. But first, I need to make a latitude longitude grid on the world map. So, first things
Walden Briarhelm: science.
Christopher Hooper: first, you know,
Luke Neverisky: Mhm.
Walden Briarhelm: So, um, Liliana, what would you like for your first concert to
Luke Neverisky: Mhm.
Walden Briarhelm: be? Do you have a theme? Do you have a particular song list? Brew is excellent at
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Oh.
Walden Briarhelm: pyrochnics. If that is your look,
Luke Neverisky: Um. No. That's That's not really my No. No. Or what? What?
Justin Hale: All
Tyram: Rude. Could you like create like a cool like uh smoke machine thing around her or something? Or
Luke Neverisky: I just Yeah, I could do
Tyram: like psychedelic like crystal lights or some
Luke Neverisky: smoke and some
Justin Hale: right. You want some like You want some like Roman
Tyram: s***?
Justin Hale: candles or something? I got
Luke Neverisky: crystals. You're trying. And that's really
Justin Hale: lots of
Walden Briarhelm: Is there any way that you could use your
Luke Neverisky: what
Walden Briarhelm: magic or even your uh abilities to build
Luke Neverisky: mattered.
Walden Briarhelm: to make flower cannons that shoot daffodils? Perhaps those
Luke Neverisky: I like where this is
Walden Briarhelm: cute little stringers that fall from the sky that are messy but everybody
Justin Hale: That sounds like a serious under usage of
Walden Briarhelm: loves.
Justin Hale: my talent, but uh sure.
Walden Briarhelm: Well, perhaps you can figure out the way to use your
Luke Neverisky: going.
Walden Briarhelm: talents and make it a little cuter, a little softer for
Justin Hale: Yeah.
Walden Briarhelm: Liliana.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, you know, less with the screamy and the fire and the happy and the you know
Ellis Taylor: What if you uh you know put some flowers inside your pyrochnic so it exploded and it was like flowers falling everywhere?
Luke Neverisky: flowers.
Justin Hale: This does not sound very metal and that makes me very sad.
Tyram: Well, it's hard to say, Brew, but we're not
Luke Neverisky: That's not the
Tyram: going for metal
Luke Neverisky: vibe. That's never my
Justin Hale: I'm just I'm gonna go cry in the corner just
Luke Neverisky: vibe. Need hugs. Find me now.
Justin Hale: for a
Christopher Hooper: Um, something
Tyram: anymore.
Christopher Hooper: you did notice along the way is that
Ellis Taylor: No.
Christopher Hooper: um your poor brother uh is gone.
Luke Neverisky: What's
Justin Hale: second.
Ellis Taylor: I was wondering where he was during that whole
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Tyram: He had nothing but bad ideas. I don't miss
Ellis Taylor: conflict. He was just
Walden Briarhelm: Buff. Uh,
Luke Neverisky: that?
Ellis Taylor: too
Walden Briarhelm: do we have do we have any insight on his location? Did he
[00:40:00]
Tyram: him. And
Christopher Hooper: helpful.
Walden Briarhelm: dis
Tyram: he stay behind with Luna. That's what I assume.
Christopher Hooper: Um, you could, um, you didn't see him, but
Ellis Taylor: confusing.
Christopher Hooper: you can make an insight. Anyone who wants to. Oh, gentle. Good job.
Walden Briarhelm: Got a
Christopher Hooper: 18 and
Walden Briarhelm: 19 on insight.
Tyram: 25 25. I got
Ellis Taylor: Seven. I didn't notice anything. Who is this
Christopher Hooper: seven.
Justin Hale: Who was
Ellis Taylor: guy? There was another
Tyram: 25. Yeah. Bafel. Hey, Olivia, can you not
Ellis Taylor: turtle.
Tyram: tell
Ellis Taylor: I you know what? It's just hard with
Justin Hale: this?
Tyram: apart?
Ellis Taylor: these specs. I keep like things so double sometimes, especially when
Christopher Hooper: 25.
Ellis Taylor: I'm fighting. I really need those like sports goggles. That would help a
Walden Briarhelm: I'm imagining a paladin with ski goggles now. And it's kind of awesome.
Ellis Taylor: lot. I was thinking like the ones that you see like soccer players or basketball
Christopher Hooper: Oh yeah. What is that? Uh
Ellis Taylor: players wear.
Christopher Hooper: Chamberlain. Did he wear famously
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: wear goggles? Yeah. Um all right. What do we got? Uh we got some high enough numbers. Um yeah. Uh you think probably I mean Bafael mentioned like he was probably not looking to come back to uh not looking to come back to um the St. George place. So I think he like just pieced out maybe stayed there. Um uh one thing you know is that like you're all pretty good swimmers. Um so it's no problem to like be in the middle of the ocean and just like you know ride currents to uh Sydney, Australia. So
Ellis Taylor: You're
Walden Briarhelm: Who?
Tyram: Where is this in the Australia
Ellis Taylor: so tall rock
Christopher Hooper: um knows it.
Walden Briarhelm: Who will listen
Ellis Taylor: square. Let's ride to the big old
Christopher Hooper: Uh yeah. So um it seems like he might have stayed back maybe um maybe found like a local uh like a
Tyram: place?
Christopher Hooper: nearby island or something to to hang out on um to keep investigating. Um but
Tyram: I'm sure
Luke Neverisky: Yeah,
Tyram: we'll see him sooner or
Ellis Taylor: blue.
Christopher Hooper: yeah.
Walden Briarhelm: Buff can take care of himself. Off.
Christopher Hooper: Um, okay. And you come into port, there's a huge
Tyram: later.
Christopher Hooper: celebration. Um, all the folks from St. George are heroes welcome at the harbor. Um, and uh, there's already um, several um, barbecue grills. Yeah, that's right. Yay. Yay. Dragon Slayers. And uh the the SS Leroy has a has um I forget which dragon I said that they had slain. Um dragging behind
Tyram: Was it a white dragon?
Ellis Taylor: Yay! Not the blue
Christopher Hooper: uh uh yeah, I believe it's the the white one and the
Ellis Taylor: one.
Christopher Hooper: copper one was the one that destroyed the SS uh Jenkins. Um, so the Leroy is pulling the the corpse of a massive white dragon behind them. There is already the smell of of lit barbecues on the the harbor like um Harbor Row and you see multiple ins uh bustling uh including the dragon's hide and uh it's a big party. Um no blue eyes.
Ellis Taylor: Dang
Christopher Hooper: Um, yeah, not that
Justin Hale: See, I don't like
Christopher Hooper: one. You haven't met that one. Maybe one day.
Justin Hale: it.
Christopher Hooper: Um, these these are red. You think it maybe it's albino? Who
Tyram: Did it ever bother anyone else? The blue- eyesed white dragon was
Ellis Taylor: it.
Christopher Hooper: knows? But what color
Justin Hale: 15.
Tyram: clearly
Christopher Hooper: were there its eyes? Dang
Tyram: blue. Also blue, but there was it was the blue- eyesed
Christopher Hooper: it.
Tyram: blue dragon if
Luke Neverisky: Well, only half right.
Walden Briarhelm: It's frustrating because the red eyes black dragon black dragon was so
Tyram: anything.
Walden Briarhelm: true to its name.
Tyram: Yes, it did have red. I mean, it's a pretty straightforward name, but they like somehow still managed to mess it
Luke Neverisky: At least it was a dragon and not
Christopher Hooper: It would be It would be so weird
Walden Briarhelm: Like there's a wider
Ellis Taylor: Yes.
Luke Neverisky: like another
Christopher Hooper: if we referred to each other like
Luke Neverisky: animal.
Christopher Hooper: that.
Tyram: up. Well, I mean, it'd be hard to tell a lot of the people in the group apart here, I feel like.
Luke Neverisky: Oh.
Christopher Hooper: Um and uh yeah, there's a there's a party going on and uh Commander Tannell approaches you uh with a big duffel bag and says, "Congratulations team. you really um you know partial success but we'll take the success is where we get them. Um, and uh, we'll be following up on the ore, but for now, let's celebrate several dead a couple dead
Luke Neverisky: Nice.
Christopher Hooper: dragons. And you know hopefully you uh you know Astro further bound and uh and yeah here is your earnings and um hands you a a very heavy duffel bag um full of gold and that was the uh thousand gold each that you got. Um, and she hands you um a big uh a big yellow block with um an arrow pointing up and you each jump on top of that and level up to level 10.
Luke Neverisky: Got any more of those
Christopher Hooper: And uh these are very prized only uh
Ellis Taylor: Can we keep jumping on
Christopher Hooper: the you change color every time you jump
Ellis Taylor: it?
Christopher Hooper: on it.
Luke Neverisky: blocks?
Christopher Hooper: Um, and she says, "Uh, we can talk later, but for now, enjoy the picnic. You deserve it." Um, cheers. Congrats, guys. And she, uh, she heads off and heads to the other other ship and and, uh, starts coordinate bringing in the, uh, the dragon. Yeah. the other dragon. And they have a
Tyram: You know, they may be teamed up with the Elderans and everything, but I think they are the first group to actually pay us for doing
Luke Neverisky: Well,
Tyram: something.
Luke Neverisky: not so bad then. And they're also throwing us to this barbecue
Christopher Hooper: picnic.
Luke Neverisky: or inviting us to their barbecue. So, it's also
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, maybe she's worth talking to to understand their relationship
Tyram: Yeah.
Ellis Taylor: with Elder a little bit better before we kind of decide who
Luke Neverisky: something.
Christopher Hooper: Oh my
Tyram: Well, I want to go in too hot with that, you know, like
Ellis Taylor: to Yeah.
Tyram: we don't want to burn the bridge with these
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Oh, no. Definitely we we would do it
Tyram: guys. Sure,
Ellis Taylor: tactfully and well,
Tyram: it might be worth pursuing. I mean, if they're all about
Ellis Taylor: but anyone's going to help us
Christopher Hooper: god.
Tyram: like stopping like genocide, then I mean, maybe they'd
Ellis Taylor: understand what's going
Tyram: be upset to learn about all the genocide that Elderan does. Okay, so um so let's go ahead and I guess enjoy this barbecue. But
Ellis Taylor: on.
Tyram: um I think we need to go find Victor so that we can use his sending. Oh, uh Zach, another thing from last time. Um, we, and by
Christopher Hooper: Oh my
Tyram: we, I mean your character, uh, chucked uh, sending
Christopher Hooper: god. Oh my
Tyram: stone down to Luna's head and, uh, Brew's friend Victor has the other sending stone. So, okay, back
Christopher Hooper: god.
Tyram: in character. When we get a chance, we might need to go find Victor so that we can, uh, try to use his sending stone. And by use his sending stone, I mean take his sending stone so we don't have to talk to Victor anymore. Glad everyone
Justin Hale: That was our end of the plan.
Tyram: agrees.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, I thought
Tyram: Okay. Okay. Hey, you know what? It's good to be clear
Luke Neverisky: that was
Tyram: about what we're doing. You
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, you're so
Christopher Hooper: Wow.
Justin Hale: Yeah.
Tyram: know, just making sure we're all on the same page is
Luke Neverisky: right. You know what they say about
Christopher Hooper: And we love
Justin Hale: No. What did they
Tyram: all the fruit
Luke Neverisky: assuming
Justin Hale: say? No. What did they
Tyram: words.
Luke Neverisky: They
Justin Hale: say? That's a weird way to say that. What
Luke Neverisky: make butts out of menu. I know
Tyram: Oh, this the saying is that it makes an ass. And
Luke Neverisky: that's a weird one,
Christopher Hooper: you.
Justin Hale: does Oh, like a donkey. All
Tyram: I don't think Lil wanted to say
Luke Neverisky: but well, I
Justin Hale: right.
Tyram: ass. But it also doesn't make sense. It the the saying
Luke Neverisky: mean,
Tyram: because like assuming has the word ass in it. That's where it came
Luke Neverisky: yeah.
Justin Hale: like a
Tyram: from. like a
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Yeah. Like a duck. Exactly.
Justin Hale: donkey. Someone must have really liked donkeys when they made up that
Tyram: donkey. Must
Luke Neverisky: It's going to be
Christopher Hooper: Sorry. Yeah. It used to be um like kind of a prideful saying like Everyone gets to be a donkey when you
Justin Hale: thing.
Tyram: have really pushing that making assumptions agenda.
Christopher Hooper: assume. Um, all right. Uh, so,
Tyram: Yeah.
Ellis Taylor: Good
Luke Neverisky: cute.
[00:50:00]
Christopher Hooper: uh, it sounds like y'all are fleeing the picnic and heading to the zoo. Um, great. Anything you want to do before on the way to the zoo? Um, it's basically
Tyram: I might snatch up a dragon skewer. I'm kind of curious what they
Christopher Hooper: Oh yeah. Yeah. Y'all y'all can stick around
Tyram: taste
Luke Neverisky: Yes.
Christopher Hooper: a little bit. Make some I mean y'all can chitchat a little bit. There's a lot
Tyram: like.
Ellis Taylor: boy.
Christopher Hooper: of different uh people in the organization. Knights um uh cooks, you know, squires, uh different different folks around. Um and yeah, everyone's having a good time. Um you're able uh it you have to wait for the dragon skewers cuz it's fresh. Uh, so it takes, you know, a few minutes. Um, but they let you at the front of the line because you are, you know, you know, part of the victory party. So it only takes, you know, uh, 15 to 20 minutes, uh, to get a
Tyram: Wow. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: proper sear on it. Yeah, that's
Tyram: That's
Christopher Hooper: right. Um, you taste it and it is delicious. It is so good. Um, it's this one. It's like got incredible marbling on it and uh so it just kind of like melts in your mouth like
Tyram: good.
Christopher Hooper: the most wagoo wagu steaks. Um, it's incredible. And um, you taste like let's see, white dragons are known for kind of like their I don't know icy. Is that right? Yeah. Yeah. So, there's a little bit of like a weird minty like after like crispy after taste to
Tyram: Yeah. Wow. I'm glad
Luke Neverisky: Many
Christopher Hooper: it.
Tyram: we stuck around for these. These are really tasty.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Very good. I mean, no wonder people hunt dragons, am I right? If it's this
Luke Neverisky: scars. How's that
Christopher Hooper: tasty. Um, yeah. Otherwise, uh, anything else? Are y'all are y'all are y'all chatting to anybody? Are y'all, uh, want to see anything along the way to the zoo? Otherwise, we'll hop right
Luke Neverisky: tasty zoo? So excited to see
Justin Hale: Let's go to the zoo.
Tyram: I don't want to do it right now, but something else on the agenda is to uh go uh scope out the cog and steam so that we
Christopher Hooper: there.
Tyram: can try to start taking down the iron
Luke Neverisky: Emininals.
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Um yeah.
Tyram: claws.
Christopher Hooper: So uh you head towards the zoo. Um it is like a beautiful weekend morning and you see a huge line of strollers and like um lots of kids between the ages of four to nine. um along with uh fairly brackgged looking parents. Um and they all have brought a friend and uh every time they seem to have a conversation, it seemed there's like the the kid interrupts them. Um and they're all in line to get tickets to the zoo. Um, yeah. And you and you uh you get in the queue. Uh, okay. So, I I told myself something. I said, I I I'm going to ask y'all to uh explain what the zoo is like
Walden Briarhelm: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: so I don't bastardize it for you. So, um, I'm not going to make any other than the very outside ticketing office, which I've just done. I'm not going to describe any element of the zoo. Um, so, so what do you see as you approach the
Luke Neverisky: This
Tyram: I bet there's probably a big statue of Dane up at the
Christopher Hooper: zoo? Okay.
Tyram: entrance. Dane and
Ellis Taylor: Yeah,
Luke Neverisky: is I was going to say at least the Steve statue. Yeah.
Tyram: Steve.
Ellis Taylor: Dane, Steve and like a ton of animals kind of like right behind
Christopher Hooper: Is it like a Is it like a
Ellis Taylor: them or Dane and
Christopher Hooper: wilderness scene? Like like a harmonious wilderness scene of like all the animals
Ellis Taylor: Steve.
Christopher Hooper: like gay like prancing around a a
Ellis Taylor: I think we're
Christopher Hooper: pasture
Ellis Taylor: all looking epically like most of the like Dne and Steve
Christopher Hooper: scene?
Ellis Taylor: and maybe like Fufu and some of the bigger animals are all kind of like looking epically up off in the distance like looking towards I don't know
Luke Neverisky: No.
Ellis Taylor: something. They're always staring off. But then like a lot of the smaller creatures are kind of more like like the bunnies are prancing around and playing and like there's little squirrels running up Steve's leg and stuff like that. But it's all like a giant
Christopher Hooper: Okay,
Ellis Taylor: bronze statue surrounded by
Christopher Hooper: gotcha.
Walden Briarhelm: Is
Ellis Taylor: a water fountain that kids can play in.
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Walden Briarhelm: it is there any patina on the bronze? Just
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, I'm sure there's patina
Walden Briarhelm: to figure as an architect you would want to throw
Ellis Taylor: around the base, especially where water splashes
Walden Briarhelm: that in
Tyram: I don't know where that
Christopher Hooper: Um, it
Walden Briarhelm: there.
Ellis Taylor: it.
Christopher Hooper: is the wearer on a on a
Walden Briarhelm: Is the green color
Tyram: is.
Ellis Taylor: Kina. Yeah.
Walden Briarhelm: on the
Tyram: Okay.
Ellis Taylor: It's like when copper turns green
Christopher Hooper: metal. Is that the same word as as patina? like
Walden Briarhelm: statue?
Tyram: Gotcha. Gotcha.
Ellis Taylor: or
Christopher Hooper: you do with a
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Yeah. I think that's just a different
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Cuz in like a walk you I've heard it patent where you like have the crust or like season it's like postseasoning of a of a
Ellis Taylor: pronunciation. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's just another different pronunciation of the same
Christopher Hooper: skillet. Okay, that's funny.
Ellis Taylor: word.
Christopher Hooper: Um, can y'all hear
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Yes. She is going
Luke Neverisky: All
Christopher Hooper: Francis?
Walden Briarhelm: horrible.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, I think she's tired.
Ellis Taylor: crazy.
Christopher Hooper: Um, cool. Um, why don't I'm gonna mute myself
Luke Neverisky: right.
Christopher Hooper: and I'd like you all to take in turns describing what this zoo is like.
Tyram: Mhm.
Ellis Taylor: I imagine it as like really large pit enclosures, but also like elevated boardwalks around them. So like the the animals are down and have like tons of space, but they also like can't get out.
Tyram: Yeah, definitely a well taken care of, very
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Like
Tyram: uh enrichmentfilled exhibits, I'm
Luke Neverisky: the Mhm.
Tyram: sure. And there's definitely an owl bear petting zoo.
Ellis Taylor: Oh yeah,
Luke Neverisky: Mhm. Mhm. Of
Walden Briarhelm: That's
Ellis Taylor: 100%. The path goes through the owl. You can choose
Luke Neverisky: course. Yeah.
Walden Briarhelm: adorable. Are
Ellis Taylor: to go around, but you can also go through the owl bear potting
Walden Briarhelm: there stones on the ground that look like owl bear prints that the kids can walk
Ellis Taylor: zoo.
Walden Briarhelm: on that are like
Ellis Taylor: I think it it's worked into the boardwalk, so you're following the owl bear
Walden Briarhelm: Yeah. Yes. I would like for there
Luke Neverisky: outside. Love
Walden Briarhelm: to be uh like a a danger zone where there is like a single animal that's in just this ridiculously reinforced cage with like I don't know I'm thinking acme but like cameras that are scanning and watching and inside of it is just
Ellis Taylor: prints.
Walden Briarhelm: like a single squirrel but in this world it's like a horrifying creature that
Luke Neverisky: that.
Walden Briarhelm: they've overseed
Ellis Taylor: So, what Taylor what's a what's
Walden Briarhelm: for There we
Ellis Taylor: a monster that's like super tiny but super
Tyram: Um, like for its size,
Ellis Taylor: dangerous?
Tyram: um, probably something like
Walden Briarhelm: go.
Justin Hale: flamingos.
Tyram: a golem, but that wouldn't really be in a zoo. Um, and let me see if I can but um, we could be talking about like a small dragon, but I don't think a dragon would be in a
Walden Briarhelm: I want to create something that's almost cute. So like the kids are
Luke Neverisky: Sh.
Walden Briarhelm: like, "Why is the thing in the cage?" And then it's like food time and they lower the goat like in Jurassic Park and it's like, "Oh my
Ellis Taylor: No.
Luke Neverisky: You want
Walden Briarhelm: god." Yes. Oh my
Ellis Taylor: Oh, what is this
Luke Neverisky: you need nibbler
Walden Briarhelm: goodness. You've named
Tyram: zoo. Elementals are pretty small and dangerous.
Ellis Taylor: thing? Seab bells. Let me post this
Walden Briarhelm: like
Justin Hale: Okay. This is
Ellis Taylor: thing. Where is Discord? Stop it.
Luke Neverisky: basically.
Walden Briarhelm: stuff.
Tyram: I guess you can make the argument that a beholder is like disarmingly not
Christopher Hooper: I I was going to
Walden Briarhelm: I think that's
Tyram: dangerous
Christopher Hooper: mention a baby beholder or a baby mind flareer.
Tyram: looking.
Walden Briarhelm: cute. I like the beholder more. I think it would be
Ellis Taylor: Ah, What the hell? What just happened? H Apple updated the
Walden Briarhelm: Sounds like
Ellis Taylor: iPad and I can't figure out split screen
Walden Briarhelm: Apple. I
Ellis Taylor: anymore. Can't. Super
Walden Briarhelm: use an Apple every day. So, I'm admitting that as a user, it has had some weird s*** since they updated to Vista, basically. Anyways, that would be my contribution
Ellis Taylor: annoying.
Walden Briarhelm: is just this scary looking oversecured baby beholder. That's just Do
Tyram: They would have had to add that after
Ellis Taylor: Oh
Walden Briarhelm: they
Tyram: Dane left because like I don't think she would do like a cage or
Ellis Taylor: god.
Walden Briarhelm: I don't know Dane. That name is I think the first time I've heard
Tyram: anything.
Walden Briarhelm: it and she was an
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Dame was my old
Walden Briarhelm: animal
Ellis Taylor: character. Oh, yeah. She was a r the ranger that they keep making fun
Walden Briarhelm: lover. I got you. That's cool.
[01:00:00]

Walden Briarhelm: I get it. So, you were a hunter. Did you have like were
Luke Neverisky: Really?
Walden Briarhelm: you like uh you only hunted baddies? You wouldn't hunt animals kind of
Ellis Taylor: Uh, no. I somehow took over this park and turned it into a zoo. I like wrote over a bad guy's name.
Tyram: Blackwell.
Ellis Taylor: I He was like, what was his name? Blackwell.
Walden Briarhelm: thing.
Ellis Taylor: I just like scribbled over his name. Dan's Park. And then by the end it became a zoo. And I befriended an owl bear in one
Walden Briarhelm: Okay. Okay. I'm seeing it
Ellis Taylor: encounter.
Luke Neverisky: Well, thank
Walden Briarhelm: now. Let me knowing that and Dne being a main
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, this just kind of
Luke Neverisky: you
Walden Briarhelm: character, I don't feel that the there there there is a Yeah. It does not fit well to have a prison. So, I'm going to pass the buck and
Ellis Taylor: happened.
Christopher Hooper: Uh and and
Walden Briarhelm: think
Christopher Hooper: Dane opened the park with the help of Lady Lrange,
Tyram: Well,

Ellis Taylor: work. And now I can't figure out how to get you guys back on my split screen.
Luke Neverisky: Um, I'm going to say there's an enclosure with I know they're technically fake creatures, but mosskittens where you can just like go in with the
Ellis Taylor: Okay. Yeah. I feel like it's very it's as interactive as it
Luke Neverisky: mosskittens.
Ellis Taylor: can be. like dangerous animals or animals that don't like interaction. Like you could
Tyram: Yeah. Oh.
Ellis Taylor: just see, but there's a lot of interactive
Tyram: Um, I'll see if I can find a picture of them, but um, one, um, like D&D monster I saw in like a Splatbook one time was something called a Platty Puff. It's a platypus, but like they wear a little chef's hat and they bake things. Maybe there. So, there's a restaurant that's run by Platty

Christopher Hooper: and two uh younger albears and they are sitting uh in a round table with five other uh people and um they um each have their head down except for the matriarch Albear and they say, "All right, Werewolves, open your eyes. And you see three people at the table open their eyes and they all make eye contact. And the matriarch says, "Point to who you will slay this evening." And they point to um a young child at the table. And the mat shark says, "Werewolves, close your eyes." And then they
Justin Hale: the murder of this
Tyram: It's part of the game, bro. And uh the matriarch is actually doing a pretty good job uh capturing
Justin Hale: child. It's
Tyram: the whole vibe and voice tone of the game. So
Christopher Hooper: say,
Justin Hale: It's common place to just murder people in this game.
Luke Neverisky: It's kind
Tyram: yeah, you never played
Ellis Taylor: I sound like a You're not really
Justin Hale: They're not Oh, they're not really murdering. All right.
Luke Neverisky: of
Justin Hale: That That would have been the first metal thing that would have happened in a long time. So, I was kind of on board
Ellis Taylor: murdering.
Justin Hale: with this. But none of it was a
Tyram: Mafia. Come on, Brew. Creatures as gentle as owl bears would never consider murdering someone.
Christopher Hooper: Hunter, open your
Justin Hale: child.
Christopher Hooper: eyes. And uh you see the the youngest owl bear open his eyes and look around. And she and the matriarch says, "Point to who you think is the werewolf." And he points
Justin Hale: I'm gonna Did we close our eyes? If not, I'm going to point to
Christopher Hooper: to
Justin Hale: the be like, "It's that
Tyram: Oh, that's
Christopher Hooper: um uh you
Justin Hale: guy.
Tyram: cheating. We only cheat if we stand to gain monetary value from
Christopher Hooper: like

Justin Hale: right. Everyone trying to give me a bath today. This is
Tyram: bottle. They
Christopher Hooper: Quiet." Um, and the the hunter also points
Justin Hale: awful.
Christopher Hooper: towards the the young child. Um, and the matriarch says, "Hunter, close your eyes.
Tyram: just
Christopher Hooper: Towns people, open your eyes. And uh you see the whole circle wake up and the matriarch says, "Timothy, you are slain in the evening." And there's a gasp from the crowd, the table. Everyone's shocked. And Jimmy says, "Oh no, I'm going to play." And um his mom who's sitting next to him says, "All right. Um sorry, you're going to have to leave. Can you go up to your dad up there? I want to keep playing, Timothy says. And his mom says, "Sorry, all right. Come on. Do you want to sit in my lap?" "No, you got to you got to go leave the the table. You got to go pick your dad." Okay. And he kind of pout walks to to his dad up up there. Um,
Justin Hale: Jeff's
Christopher Hooper: and
Justin Hale: just like re rehashing what happened to him last weekend. Sounds
Christopher Hooper: they and uh and they keep playing um uh Midnight World
Justin Hale: like
Christopher Hooper: um while while everyone watches and it goes through and then um there's been a call for the next round towards the end. Um and uh yeah, are you all going to volunteer for a round of Midnight Werewolf? I don't, but you can if you
Tyram: Do you want us

Justin Hale: don't want
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: y'all think I run this this this uh campaign. I don't. I I whatever y'all choose to do, just, you know, I'm I'm going over what y'all y'all want, you

Christopher Hooper: know.
Tyram: Victor would
Ellis Taylor: Did he get banned?
[01:20:00]
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, it
Tyram: do.
Ellis Taylor: or just not allowed to

Luke Neverisky: everything just let you just let this happen. He just
Christopher Hooper: exhibit. Yes, I was told
Tyram: now?
Luke Neverisky: disappears.
Christopher Hooper: to not follow him while he was at the zoo.
Tyram: Does he just go into the leopard exhibit? Oh,
Ellis Taylor: disappears.
Tyram: hey quick. Do we want to say leopard exhibit or like something more like
Christopher Hooper: No, but fantasy fantasy leopard.
Tyram: fantasy? Oh,
Luke Neverisky: But
Tyram: like a displacer beast is kind of a fantasy
Ellis Taylor: like a platypus
Luke Neverisky: love me for
Christopher Hooper: Um, there was there a chimera in the
Luke Neverisky: medicine.
Christopher Hooper: zoo? Oh,
Tyram: leopard. Uh, fufu cuddly poops. The first
Ellis Taylor: leopard. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: yeah.
Tyram: was Martha's habit of giving all
Ellis Taylor: Fufu.
Tyram: the animals the same name is starting to make this a little confusing,
Ellis Taylor: You can call you can call one poo. The other can be kimoo poo foo. The
Tyram: but I don't want to call them
Ellis Taylor: other one could be cuddly
Luke Neverisky: Who and Cuddly?
Justin Hale: Well,
Tyram: cuddly poops.
Christopher Hooper: Wait, so there's a Chimera and
Justin Hale: why
Ellis Taylor: poops. Okay, fine. Just
Christopher Hooper: what is it? What is the other one?
Justin Hale: not?
Tyram: Oh, that's fine. Yeah, the cuddly was the part I didn't like.
Christopher Hooper: poops is the
Ellis Taylor: poops.
Christopher Hooper: chimera and what is
Tyram: Yeah,u is uh bike Tyson's owl bear at the casino.
Christopher Hooper: fufu description.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Tyram: How much clearer could I be? To do that's the most that's a very straightforward and asked
Ellis Taylor: But it's 100%
Christopher Hooper: Okay. My brain was shortcircuited with that
Ellis Taylor: accurate. You're
Christopher Hooper: statement. Okay, gotcha. Um, yes,
Tyram: description.
Christopher Hooper: he uh I I followed him and uh the first couple days he was here and he sits on
Ellis Taylor: welcome.
Christopher Hooper: a bench for approximately 2 hours at the uh Chimera exhibit, but I was told by my supervisors to not stalk the guests at the zoo. And so I no longer know his activities around the Chimera
Tyram: Wait, wait, wait. So, security can't follow suspicious people in the zoo. That seems like a weird
Justin Hale: I mean, if they talk like this, that's probably
Tyram: uh
Christopher Hooper: exhibit. My superiors, I agree. I think it
Justin Hale: why.
Christopher Hooper: is outrageous, but my superior said it was uh getting um uh as they say
Tyram: policy.
Christopher Hooper: overly zealous and
Tyram: You know, you seem like the type who like
Ellis Taylor: That's fair. Um, does he did you say he
Luke Neverisky: kind of doesn't
Tyram: hassles like normal people for no reason, but you'll be shocked to learn that this guy
Christopher Hooper: uncomfortable. I knew it.
Tyram: actually was someone you should have been following.
Luke Neverisky: mind. He needs a
Christopher Hooper: If you could please report this to my superior, I will resume my observation of this
Ellis Taylor: disappears? Can you
Luke Neverisky: hassle.
Christopher Hooper: individual. I have
Ellis Taylor: clarify which exhibit he disappears
Christopher Hooper: only seen him spend long periods of time by the
Ellis Taylor: into?
Christopher Hooper: Chimera
Ellis Taylor: Okay. He doesn't disappear into it. He just hangs
Christopher Hooper: exhibit. I suspect he has found a way to
Ellis Taylor: out
Christopher Hooper: infiltrate the inner workings of the zoo through the Chimera exhibit.
Ellis Taylor: there. Fascinating. Okay. So, what time
Christopher Hooper: It is approximately
Ellis Taylor: is it?
Christopher Hooper: 1:30
Ellis Taylor: What? Cool. We missed it. All right. We'll try again tomorrow,
Tyram: Well, I mean, you can go to the exhibit and see if there's like a like
Ellis Taylor: guys. Thank you very much, sir.
Christopher Hooper: p.m. My name is
Tyram: a uh What's your name there, guy? Okay, so Trevor loses track of him after 3 hours. That doesn't mean he actually leaves after three hours. He can still be
Christopher Hooper: Trevor.
Tyram: there.
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. And what did he do before he had to stop following him? What did he do after those two hours of sitting or three
Christopher Hooper: He usually eats at
Ellis Taylor: hours of sitting at the Chimera
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: hot dog at the food court for approximately 45
Ellis Taylor: exhibit?
Christopher Hooper: minutes, which I find to be an incredibly slow amount of time to eat a hot dog. I
Tyram: Yeah, I was about to say he's really uh
Luke Neverisky: Yes, heard
Christopher Hooper: think I think he's doing it
Justin Hale: Yeah,
Tyram: really savoring the hot dog, I
Christopher Hooper: to get at me.
Justin Hale: that's Do you Hold on.
Christopher Hooper: Yes, I sit across from him as
Justin Hale: You watch him the whole
Christopher Hooper: he eats his hot
Tyram: guess.
Ellis Taylor: Awesome.
Luke Neverisky: Isn't that you stalking
Christopher Hooper: dog. Well, these are my last
Justin Hale: time.
Tyram: Okay, I hate to say this, but I'm kind of agreeing with your superiors and
Justin Hale: Oh, well,
Tyram: I think you probably like come on a little too hot here,
Christopher Hooper: reports.
Justin Hale: important question. Do you make eye contact with him the whole
Luke Neverisky: them? Well, he's
Christopher Hooper: Yes, while I eat my hot dog as well. We eat hot
Luke Neverisky: scaring the dog.
Christopher Hooper: dogs across from each other and I tried to match
Justin Hale: time? Do you
Christopher Hooper: his speed, but it is excruciatingly
Justin Hale: guys All right. So,
Tyram: pal.
Justin Hale: hold on. So, you make eye contact and you chew and swallow at the same time for 45 minutes.
Luke Neverisky: He tried.
Justin Hale: I don't think I think this is foreplay. I don't think
Luke Neverisky: He tries.
Christopher Hooper: slow.
Justin Hale: this is anything
Tyram: That does sound like a pretty intimate
Luke Neverisky: Anyway, you just want to ask a
Tyram: encounter you guys are
Luke Neverisky: note. Oh, are you into him?
Christopher Hooper: No,
Tyram: having.
Luke Neverisky: Like, should we hook you
Christopher Hooper: no, you misunderstand. I believe this this
[01:30:00]
Justin Hale: else. I don't think so. I don't think
Christopher Hooper: individual this individual is very
Justin Hale: was
Christopher Hooper: dangerous. I know for a
Justin Hale: misunderstood.
Tyram: I wish I understood less about this
Christopher Hooper: fact. I believe you are correct in your original
Luke Neverisky: up?
Christopher Hooper: understanding that I should continue to monitor this individual and their activities in the
Tyram: situation. Oh no, I was I was wrong. You need to roll that back
Christopher Hooper: park. Yes, I
Justin Hale: You would like that, wouldn't
Ellis Taylor: Honey, what does he do after the hot
Christopher Hooper: would after the hot dog. He usually uses the
Justin Hale: you?
Ellis Taylor: dog?
Tyram: real I do not No, no, no. Do not ask that.
Ellis Taylor: I'm just trying to figure out where he is right
Luke Neverisky: You follow him there,
Christopher Hooper: bathroom.
Tyram: Do not ask
Luke Neverisky: too. Do you sit in the stall next
Tyram: that. I don't want to know. I don't want to answer that
Ellis Taylor: now.
Luke Neverisky: to him?
Tyram: question.
Ellis Taylor: Honey, are you an adjacent stall kind of boy or do you get at
Justin Hale: Hey. Hey,
Ellis Taylor: least leave a little one
Justin Hale: Toeer. Real
Tyram: Silus leaves. Silus just like walks away from you guys. I does not want
Justin Hale: quick, Toeer. You know, some sometimes you
Tyram: to know this.
Ellis Taylor: stall?
Justin Hale: don't you don't have to say just whatever's on top mine. You can think about it just for a second. We're
Christopher Hooper: It was the obvious
Walden Briarhelm: as as Silas walks away. Oh
Christopher Hooper: answer.
Walden Briarhelm: my has to indulge. How how many times did this hot dog eating action happen? How many occurrences
Justin Hale: fine. Asking the real
Luke Neverisky: It's every day, right?
Christopher Hooper: Well, as I mentioned, I was only able to
Justin Hale: question.
Christopher Hooper: monitor his activities for the first three days post the apprehension of him with a gun.
Walden Briarhelm: May I ask you a personal question? Which
Christopher Hooper: No, I am I do not find that professional. I
Walden Briarhelm: day was
Christopher Hooper: only acted professional.
Walden Briarhelm: the
Luke Neverisky: Of course. Of
Christopher Hooper: Uh
Walden Briarhelm: Okay. for for our investigative activities. Which day did you find the most difficult to
Luke Neverisky: course.
Christopher Hooper: wait, I found the second day
Walden Briarhelm: maintain this eating
Christopher Hooper: most vis the most difficult for I believe that Victor was getting at me. However, on the third day, I believe that we found a mutual respect and understanding during
Walden Briarhelm: ritual?
Christopher Hooper: the
Justin Hale: So that he's he would say the third day is your cute
Christopher Hooper: process.
Justin Hale: meat,
Christopher Hooper: I'm not sure. But I believe by the
Justin Hale: right? Yeah.
Tyram: It's me, not cute
Christopher Hooper: third day, I truly understood him and I was ready to
Justin Hale: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: apprehend him as a criminal within the park.
Justin Hale: Apprehend, right?
Tyram: meat. Yeah, I think that you're confusing your own emotions, Trevor. I think that you've connected with Victor in a way that you've never connected with anyone before and you don't know how to deal with
Christopher Hooper: They say that to truly understand a criminal, you must understand their
Justin Hale: Sure. Do you get like do you get weird like
Christopher Hooper: mind.
Justin Hale: physical feelings when you see
Tyram: it.
Christopher Hooper: It does remind me of when we both needed to poop in the bathroom together.
Tyram: Damn
Justin Hale: Victor again? You didn't have to go back
Walden Briarhelm: I I appreciate you keeping it professional.
Justin Hale: to
Christopher Hooper: And I now understand why he spent so much time eating. It is a great way for
Tyram: it.
Christopher Hooper: your uh digestive system to properly process um the hot dogs that we serve here in the park. Now, if you'll excuse me,
Justin Hale: Yeah,
Christopher Hooper: I have more patrols to
Justin Hale: that's all right.
Christopher Hooper: do.
Justin Hale: Cool. I'm going to go to the food court to leave a hot dog for 45 minutes if you want to come
Christopher Hooper: No, I
Justin Hale: along. All
Ellis Taylor: Oh
Christopher Hooper: think you have all found yourselves to be perfectly good
Justin Hale: right. So, he didn't want to follow me, which means that he's got a thing for
Ellis Taylor: lord.
Tyram: Yeah, I think that's kind of hard to deny at this
Christopher Hooper: citizens.
Tyram: point. Anyway, let's go find Victor and steal that orb. Or sorry, uh,
Justin Hale: Victor. Are do we need to
Walden Briarhelm: That
Tyram: stone. Let's just
Christopher Hooper: All right. Um, y'all head towards uh Do you want a bio break? Y'all
Walden Briarhelm: is where where are
Ellis Taylor: I could I could use the
Christopher Hooper: good?
Walden Briarhelm: the restrooms in the
Tyram: go. All this talk about
Christopher Hooper: Um, yeah. Yeah, let's take a bio break.
Justin Hale: do?
Tyram: bathrooms. Yeah, we might as well go to the bathroom.
Ellis Taylor: bathroom. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Luke's gone. Let's all be
Walden Briarhelm: zoo?
Tyram: Earth. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: gone. I like how I said I wouldn't mess with the
Tyram: Wow.
Christopher Hooper: zoo and In two minutes, I introduced a werewolf game
Tyram: Well,
Christopher Hooper: about Barrison and the ridiculous
Tyram: there's Oh, and apparently Alars can talk
Christopher Hooper: cards. Yeah, you know, I figure if they're going to be friendly, they might as well talk, you
Tyram: now. Sure. But
Christopher Hooper: know.
[01:40:00]
Tyram: um Oh, but uh for a Sunday um I did enjoy going to u the Zack Browns, but I don't think we should try to play um at the at the restaurant. But as much as I enjoy excluding Justin, you
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. I do think
Tyram: know,
Christopher Hooper: like noise cancellation is close to good enough where that would not be awful for Justin. Um I I do still think it might be
Tyram: Okay. Oh
Christopher Hooper: difficult.
Tyram: well.
Walden Briarhelm: Since I'm like the baby of the group, I was in Chicago and I got to go to this like actual gaming store, like a big one, and they had Dungeons and Dragons like loot bags, so you could get random dice, random random whatever. So,
Christopher Hooper: Mhm.
Walden Briarhelm: you get a bag and it comes with but it's like a good design bag. I like it a lot. You get the cute little handles on the side that you pull
Christopher Hooper: Oh,
Walden Briarhelm: up and it stays. And I guess you could tie it if you wanted to, but I haven't needed it. But the cool one was it comes with an inspiration coin. It's got the cute little
Christopher Hooper: nice.
Walden Briarhelm: D&D logo on it. the back side of Balders's
Christopher Hooper: Uhhuh.
Walden Briarhelm: Gate like quite literally. I don't
Christopher Hooper: Oh, no for this. It's only for
Walden Briarhelm: know if it's backwards or not. I can't really tell what you guys would see,
Christopher Hooper: you.
Walden Briarhelm: but but it's like it's like heavy. And I was
Tyram: Yeah.
Walden Briarhelm: like, very cool. And then I think it's they're all poly, but they're like a
Tyram: around the uh the Christmas season, I saw
Walden Briarhelm: pink
Tyram: the my comic shop was selling a uh a D&D advent calendar that had like I think like different dice and like figurines
Walden Briarhelm: That would
Tyram: and stuff for each of the leading up to Christmas. I thought that was pretty
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. I hope this
Walden Briarhelm: be cool. That would be a good gift. Yeah. I bought my I I gambled for the first time in D and D, so that was
Tyram: neat.
Walden Briarhelm: cool. Yeah. I mean, it's like seven bucks or something. I was like, yeah, it's I get dice. No matter what, I get a set of dice. So, that's fair. Can't be upset about that.
Christopher Hooper: Nice. Um, there are a couple good gaming stores here. Not too
Walden Briarhelm: You're referring to
Christopher Hooper: many. Yeah.
Walden Briarhelm: Nashville. I don't know if you're I I don't know where anybody actually lives. Like when I lived in Denver, I only lived in Denver for two out of 10 years. I lived in one of the cities around it. So I feel like I'm assuming
Tyram: Well, we wouldn't know any different. So, yeah, you could probably just say
Walden Briarhelm: close. Well, exactly. I'm wondering if Nashville means Nashville, but I assume you
Tyram: Denver.
Walden Briarhelm: mean in Nashville
Tyram: Yeah. Um I'm in one of the suburbs um uh of Nashville in Hendersonville
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, technically a different
Walden Briarhelm: you got
Tyram: here. It's just north of Nashville. Like I pay much more attention to like Nashville politics than I do like Hendersonville politics. So
Christopher Hooper: county.
Walden Briarhelm: it. That makes
Tyram: like
Walden Briarhelm: sense. Yeah, I was. Yeah, in the same vein, I was far less concerned with my city's voting and focus than I was Denver because they were the big
Tyram: yeah
Walden Briarhelm: dog. What's for dinner tonight, Martha? Is it delicious? Is it
Ellis Taylor: No, it's like an egg, rice, and
Christopher Hooper: Oh,
Walden Briarhelm: noodles? Nice.
Justin Hale: thought I thought you were just going to stop an
Ellis Taylor: kimchi.
Walden Briarhelm: Classic egg for
Ellis Taylor: Simple.
Walden Briarhelm: dinner. Just
Justin Hale: egg. Just an egg, you
Ellis Taylor: No. Actually, I need more kimchi. It's not
Christopher Hooper: Oh, you
Justin Hale: know.
Ellis Taylor: enough.
Christopher Hooper: egg. Hey, Justin, have you been seeing all the Reddit posts about people uh putting uh mag tiles on their um on their walls?
Walden Briarhelm: one.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, because uh of like the corners are
Justin Hale: What? Oh,
Christopher Hooper: um
Justin Hale: interesting. The the metal bead for the for the drywall
Christopher Hooper: Mhm.
Justin Hale: joints. The corners are made of
Ellis Taylor: Why? Yeah.
Walden Briarhelm: walls. It's
Justin Hale: metal. But but why are they putting them on there? just because I
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Walden Briarhelm: fun. I
Justin Hale: g
Walden Briarhelm: saw a bunch of those and then the next day somebody that was the one I saw one of my co-workers who has them with their child like I uh I saw this on Reddit just after I told you about this. So apparently it's really fun to do and it's uh apparently that's the big toy right now because it's a
Ellis Taylor: camera. All right.
Walden Briarhelm: non-s soaking hazard for young kids. It's still fun.
Justin Hale: Well, that last image had a boner. There you
Walden Briarhelm: Oh yeah, that's an excited uh set of
Christopher Hooper: Are you a magile or are you excited to see me?
Justin Hale: go.
Tyram: really juvenile
Walden Briarhelm: mags.
Justin Hale: I need to uh I need to send you all a
Tyram: guys. Come
Ellis Taylor: What? All
Walden Briarhelm: Yeah.
Justin Hale: gift of
Christopher Hooper: What? Happy
Justin Hale: FIA. So she turned four
Tyram: on. Oh, many happy
Christopher Hooper: birthday
Justin Hale: yesterday. Um and for the past I don't know six
Tyram: returns.
Justin Hale: months she's been saying when I turn four I can chew gum. So yesterday, Bri, every relative got her a pack of gum. And then we also got
Ellis Taylor: right.
Justin Hale: her new sunglasses. And this is what my wife
Christopher Hooper: Nice. That's awesome.
Justin Hale: made.
Christopher Hooper: That's so funny because I saw that on Instagram and I didn't realize it was from Christina and I just thought it was in my like regular parenting
Justin Hale: Oh,
Christopher Hooper: Instagram. It was just so perfectly like edited
Justin Hale: that's
Christopher Hooper: together.
Justin Hale: hilarious.
Ellis Taylor: was gum everything she hoped and dreamed it
Justin Hale: I think so. Yeah, she's been chewing the crap out of it. She's
Ellis Taylor: would
Walden Briarhelm: What's
Justin Hale: already gone through a whole pack of um grant
Walden Briarhelm: her What's her favorite one? I'm
Justin Hale: gum. Uh I
Walden Briarhelm: curious. Ah, that's
Justin Hale: think that's the only one she's had so far because it was
Walden Briarhelm: central. I understand. Did she get any big league chew? Okay.
Justin Hale: pink. Uh no, it's been all normal gums. Oh, she did try Ollie's. Ollie likes the spearmint guns and
Walden Briarhelm: Damn.
Justin Hale: she said it was too
Tyram: Was that the household rule though? Like no gum until you're uh
Justin Hale: spicy. No. So, the whole reason
Tyram: four.
Justin Hale: that came about was because Olly was about like four and a half when he first wanted to try to chew gum. And she had been asking since she was
Walden Briarhelm: Yeah.
Justin Hale: real little and we told her like, "No, we don't want you to, you know, chew it and swallow it or choke on it or whatever. So you have to be a little bit older. So finally she started asking like when when is older and we're like I don't know like
Christopher Hooper: Where
Justin Hale: four or something just number out there and
Christopher Hooper: is
Justin Hale: she latched on to it man. We went to the vet
Christopher Hooper: it? What the
Justin Hale: with Gizmo the day before her birthday and literally she's talking to the vet and uh she's like I'm gonna be four tomorrow and then I can chew gum. Like every time it's yep I'm gonna turn four and then I'm gonna chew gum. And people are
Christopher Hooper: f***?
Justin Hale: like, "Oh, all right. Cool. Sounds good."
Tyram: Well, by goodness, she did just
Walden Briarhelm: Yes. What was the
Justin Hale: Mhm.
Tyram: that. And to think you didn't
Walden Briarhelm: fliper?
Justin Hale: Yep. Um that tread
Tyram: think she'd be able to do
Walden Briarhelm: Oh,
Justin Hale: one I think is just like normal like bubble gum like sugar
Tyram: it.
Walden Briarhelm: bubblegum. So, it's bubblegum flavored. Ah, there we
Justin Hale: flavor. Yeah. Yeah. It's like your
Walden Briarhelm: go. Now
Justin Hale: normal ass bubble gum flavor. It's got like a slight mintiness to it. Like it doesn't taste like mint, but when you're chewing on it, you get that like
Walden Briarhelm: it's
Justin Hale: minty like coldness to your mouth. Kind of weird. The hell are you doing?
Walden Briarhelm: sure. He's
Tyram: Excuse me, sir. Do you have a license for
Walden Briarhelm: chewing. I'm still not sure what I just saw you do. It looked like we're holding a cigarette, but it
Justin Hale: To
Tyram: that? He just put a stick of gum in his mouth,
Walden Briarhelm: looked like Yeah, it looks like a cigarette. It's like, what am I
Justin Hale: Oh my god.
Tyram: man.
Christopher Hooper: I think it's over
Walden Briarhelm: seeing right
Tyram: And that does look like a cigarette packet.
Christopher Hooper: there.
Walden Briarhelm: now? I wondered. I was like, you just put a like a put the
Justin Hale: Really? Is that supposed to be
Christopher Hooper: It's old. It's like an old
Walden Briarhelm: s***
Justin Hale: cigarette shaped gum?
Tyram: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: candy. Um like candy

Justin Hale: buck. I
Tyram: Falcon legit would be a good character
Justin Hale: bet you that's what he signs all of his serious paperwork
Tyram: name.
Justin Hale: with.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. An Anthony Falcon, professional boardman. Um, okay. And that's what's planned on a a a huge TV uh like deeper than it is wide like a you know those those

Luke Neverisky: Yum deep. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Um um at this
Justin Hale: happening? Makes sense.
Christopher Hooper: point it's about uh 1 1:30 p.m. Uh 1:40 p.m. at this point. Um uh it's it's pretty crowded near here. There's a lot of people watching. Um um you hear a lot of
Tyram: dog.
Christopher Hooper: like parents be like, "Oh, oh, look, look at the look at the chime. Isn't that so that's fufu cuddly pup? Isn't that that's your favorite, right?" Says, "Yeah, so cool."
Ellis Taylor: Mommy, can I have a

Justin Hale: She's deep in those
Christopher Hooper: you see this family next to you. They're they're
Justin Hale: barrel
Tyram: you. Pay her and
Christopher Hooper: they're looking at the Chimera. Uh the
Justin Hale: pockets.
Tyram: camel
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Chimera is just like playing in in its enclosure. Uh there's
Tyram: cash.
Christopher Hooper: this bench and at some point you see uh what appears to be an old man who is there with his um his granddaughter and he says, "All right, you want to look at the the enclosure? I I'll be sitting right here." And he sits on the bench next to the enclosure. And he pops out a newspaper and begins to read on the newspaper. You see explosion at bakery. How many dead? Countless. And on the front of it and on the back of
Tyram: Did people die?
Christopher Hooper: it um and on the back of it you see um there appears to be a lot of job postings
Tyram: What?
Christopher Hooper: um especially for sailors and detectives and um the old man. Huh?
Justin Hale: detectives and sailor
Christopher Hooper: Uh yeah, some and
Ellis Taylor: specialize in maritime
Christopher Hooper: Detective Sailors. Um
Justin Hale: detectives. Those are separate though,
Ellis Taylor: law.
Christopher Hooper: yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh
Justin Hale: right?
Luke Neverisky: Of
Christopher Hooper: and uh the old
Tyram: investigator. Seems like silly to go for amateur
Luke Neverisky: course.
Tyram: detector detectives. It's dangerous work as you and I know.
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Justin Hale: Of
Luke Neverisky: I hear you two are the best
Christopher Hooper: man
Justin Hale: course, we don't
Tyram: Brew, that you heard right. We're the world's greatest
Luke Neverisky: detectives.
Justin Hale: we don't like to brag, but you
Ellis Taylor: No, Olivia's just
Luke Neverisky: Wait, Olivia, what do you what do you think about that?
Christopher Hooper: He's
Justin Hale: know
Tyram: detectives.
Ellis Taylor: like I I
Luke Neverisky: I thought you were the best detective. Oh, you was hired. That's right. Okay, that
Justin Hale: Yeah, how
Tyram: I don't want to brag, but Brew and
Luke Neverisky: makes sense.
Tyram: I have a 100% success record on finding things that we're
Ellis Taylor: am
Christopher Hooper: tired.
Justin Hale: convenient. This is
Tyram: looking
Ellis Taylor: Yes, by looking into it. Sure. Okay. And you looked for things
Tyram: for. You're jealousy is a bad look,
Ellis Taylor: once.
Luke Neverisky: Let's
Justin Hale: true.
Tyram: Lydia.
Ellis Taylor: A you're mistaken extreme annoyance with
Justin Hale: They're they're two sides of the same coin, is it
Tyram: Well, anyway, um, so we know that, uh, Victor came here, I guess.
Ellis Taylor: jealousy.
Tyram: Uh, let's look around, see if there's like a he like built like a f****** like uh fake rock or maybe there's something underneath that bench that the narration keeps mentioning or something like
Luke Neverisky: Go.
Christopher Hooper: Um, yeah. Are you uh So, so Silus, what are you doing? What are you
Justin Hale: not?
Tyram: that.
Christopher Hooper: looking
Tyram: Um, we don't think that Victor actually crawled into the enclosure, right? Like it was probably something around the
Luke Neverisky: That's
Christopher Hooper: at?
Ellis Taylor: I'm going to do an investigation
Luke Neverisky: what Trevor said. Looks like they
Christopher Hooper: Yeah,
Ellis Taylor: check around the bench because we know that he hangs out on
Luke Neverisky: must
Christopher Hooper: go ahead. Give me an investigation check around the
Walden Briarhelm: Can Can I Never
Christopher Hooper: bench. Yes, you can do anything you
Walden Briarhelm: mind.
Tyram: enclosure.
Ellis Taylor: that. Well, not that one. Good thing I get
Walden Briarhelm: My idea is stupid.
Justin Hale: Do it. Do
Ellis Taylor: advantage. Here we go. That's 24. And then I have that monle. What does
Walden Briarhelm: Definitely don't want to interrupt a
[02:00:00]
Ellis Taylor: the monle do? Did I write
Christopher Hooper: want.
Tyram: in her flashing genius so we can take credit for
Ellis Taylor: it down? Where's my
Justin Hale: it. Oh yeah, we've taken a long rest. Yeah, I'm going to flash a genius dead.
Tyram: it.
Christopher Hooper: No, look
Justin Hale: Of
Ellis Taylor: monle? What? Where's my
Christopher Hooper: there. Uh,
Ellis Taylor: monle?
Christopher Hooper: okay. So, um, we're waiting on any modifiers to a currently 28. Is that right?
Justin Hale: course.
Ellis Taylor: 20. Oh, did you flash a genius me?
Justin Hale: Yeah. All right. I don't like the
Ellis Taylor: You flashed me. Okay. So, yeah.
Luke Neverisky: It loves
Christopher Hooper: Uhhuh. So, we're
Justin Hale: wording,
Tyram: I mean, it's better than her saying she's touching
Christopher Hooper: 28.
Justin Hale: but
Ellis Taylor: 28. I know I have a monle that's supposed to help me
Tyram: herself. Isn't that what gave you the advantage?
Ellis Taylor: with investigation chance, but I can't. Well, it was already marked disadvantage on my sheet. I don't remember why. Maybe that's
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. That's
Justin Hale: that's
Ellis Taylor: why. Oh
Luke Neverisky: you.
Christopher Hooper: why
Tyram: Unless to just was giving you some sort of background perk for it, then
Ellis Taylor: well.
Christopher Hooper: No, it's from the
Tyram: yeah, you shouldn't have it.
Ellis Taylor: I think it might have been a background perk. Let me find my other lists of
Christopher Hooper: monle, the eyes of minute seeing. Yeah, it's on your
Ellis Taylor: important stuff. It's from the monle. Here's my
Christopher Hooper: character sheet on D and D
Ellis Taylor: other list of important. Yep. Yep. There it is. Advantage on investig. Where
Christopher Hooper: beyond. It's on D and D beyond the A next
Tyram: Otherwise,
Ellis Taylor: are you finding it? It's not in my inventory.
Christopher Hooper: to investigation. You click it and it says eyes of minute seeing. And you click on that and it says you have dark vision
Ellis Taylor: Uh, okay.
Christopher Hooper: and stuff like that.
Ellis Taylor: Cool. Yeah, I found it on my other remember stuff list. My old
Christopher Hooper: Oh,
Walden Briarhelm: Don't forget Smoke.
Justin Hale: I like to think that
Ellis Taylor: one.
Justin Hale: Ellis's D&D character sheet is just a giant like pegboard or
Tyram: Yeah, she has like
Walden Briarhelm: All right.
Justin Hale: a random notes on
Tyram: a she has like the it's sunny
Ellis Taylor: Okay. No, I have
Christopher Hooper: okay.
Justin Hale: it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's
Tyram: in Philadelphia board on the other side of her screen
Ellis Taylor: like Yeah, it pretty much
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, it seems like more
Justin Hale: She's always pulling up a small piece of paper every time. It's a
Tyram: here.
Ellis Taylor: is cuz
Christopher Hooper: accurately It seems like
Justin Hale: different piece of paper. She's always
Ellis Taylor: I can't. There's too many things to
Christopher Hooper: more accurately she's drawing in writing on the back of like grocery receipts in her pocket. That's what it feels
Ellis Taylor: remember. No, look. I have I have little
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. It kind of looks
Tyram: Oh, we like that they have little symbols. That's
Ellis Taylor: symbols like a little Yeah. So, I can look at
Luke Neverisky: like
Ellis Taylor: like, "Oh, that one's defense. That's one spell. That one's attacking." And then I can actually read it. Oh, there's
Christopher Hooper: like.
Justin Hale: like Look at that stack. Look at that stack in your
Tyram: cool.
Ellis Taylor: the monle. That's three
Justin Hale: hand.
Ellis Taylor: pieces of paper and I broke it down into actions, bonus actions,
Luke Neverisky: a CVS that's a CVS receipt right
Justin Hale: That's
Ellis Taylor: and passive slash other. And
Luke Neverisky: there.
Walden Briarhelm: You are organized.
Ellis Taylor: then I still forget
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Justin Hale: amazing. Oh, me too. I haven't been using infusions
Ellis Taylor: half of my
Justin Hale: worth of s***, dude. I'm I'm not equipped to play. I need to go back to dumb fighter for my smooth
Ellis Taylor: s***. I know. I kind of want to go
Christopher Hooper: It's It's a lot of
Justin Hale: brain.
Ellis Taylor: barbarian next time, but like Smash, I'm angry.
Christopher Hooper: fun. And barbarians have soft skills now, which is great. So Olivia, uh, retired detective Olivia Cooper, you searched under the bench and just under one of the seats you find, um, like embedded in the ground
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: is a little like projector and uh, you're looking at it and then Brew kind of behind
Ellis Taylor: Smash.
Christopher Hooper: you says, "Hey, look right there." And he points at the projector that you're looking at.
Ellis Taylor: Yes, honey. I know. She like puts his hands on his face and just kind of like pushes
Justin Hale: I'm helping. I'm
Ellis Taylor: him out of her
Justin Hale: helping credit. Credit I get
Tyram: You cracked the case, Brew. Good
Justin Hale: credit for
Tyram: job.
Christopher Hooper: Um, um,
Tyram: Absolutely.
Christopher Hooper: and you you poke at it and you see that there's a little switch
Ellis Taylor: space.
Christopher Hooper: on there. Um, are you uh do
Justin Hale: this.
Christopher Hooper: you do you flip the switch? All
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, sure. Why
Christopher Hooper: right. When you flip the switch, a uh two things happen. One, a siren in the enclosure goes off that says, "Oh no, the everything's escaped.
Ellis Taylor: not?
Christopher Hooper: Run for your lives. Run. Run. Run for your lives. Oh my god, we're all going to die." Um, and this causes all the families around the enclosure to start running away from the enclosure. And then about 5 minutes later, um, a door uh comes out from in front of the like the the tile uh that comes from the walkway kind of lifts up. Um, and a little like uh like uh trapoor uh is exposed there. And then you see uh on the bench a projection of Victor uh reading a newspaper um with a little um with a hat on. Um and yeah, so right now there's an open trap door in front of the enclosure. Um uh with that alarm that went off. Uh now the Chimera is like enraged and it's like uh roaring and shouting. Um and you have the projection projection on the bench.
Ellis Taylor: All right, boys. Let's go down this
Justin Hale: Is
Tyram: I feel like Victor's been giving Fufu a really
Ellis Taylor: this trap
Tyram: grummy like really doing damage to his
Ellis Taylor: door. Yeah, agreed. This is
Justin Hale: it?
Tyram: reputation.
Ellis Taylor: horrible for poor Fufu. I mean, even I knew about Fufu. He's a He's a cl he's
Tyram: Oh, yeah. When we used to live here in Grayport, like, you
Ellis Taylor: a gentleman and a
Tyram: know, Boooo like had a sterling reputation, you know, class act. All
Justin Hale: I
Tyram: right. Good work,
Ellis Taylor: scholar. Let's go. What?
Justin Hale: can. No, I have I
Tyram: Brew. Thank goodness you were on the scene.
Ellis Taylor: No. Guys, let's just get down the hole.
Christopher Hooper: and you head down into that dark hole.
Ellis Taylor: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: Um, and you find um you find a sewer below the zoo. It is
Justin Hale: have
Christopher Hooper: disgusting in SA. Um, but it is lit uh barely. Um, there's like some service lighting um down the tunnel. Um, and it's damp. you see um that uh it leads eventually to um it keeps going and it's it's winding. Um actually why don't uh anyone who is proficient please make a survival
Justin Hale: Not proficient in
Luke Neverisky: Take half proficiency.
Christopher Hooper: check. Might be good enough.
Tyram: Okay. Why does Victor always have us go through all this
Ellis Taylor: Survival not proficient. I'm a
Walden Briarhelm: I rolled a dirty 20 on survival.
Tyram: s***? Uh
Christopher Hooper: Nice.
Justin Hale: that.
Tyram: 16. I can boost that if you need me
Ellis Taylor: zero. City
Christopher Hooper: Um, a 16 and a dirty 20.
Tyram: to.
Ellis Taylor: girls.
[02:10:00]
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Uh, and a 17 with half proficiency. Okay. So, um, between between Ma and Silus, you're able to, um, overlay, uh, you're able to keep track of as you're moving through the tunnels, as you're moving through the zoo as you know it. Um, and eventually at at some point you uh see signs of a door and it's uh unique to you because it is a door that has been used uh recently and regularly. All the other kind of um entrances and exes seem like they have been collecting grime and dirt uh for a long period. And you eventually find this this side hatchway. And uh you open it up to find a um a lab. And um uh it seems to have a uh what you're gathering from your location is that this is like basically the edge of the zoo between it and when it reaches the like wealthier like under sewage part of the city. And so, um, there, uh, you open to this lab and it kind of transitions over, um, basically right on top of you is Main Street. And so you can kind of hear like the bustle through the vents above you as you head into um, this lab. I keep calling it a lab because it is so it's it is there's experimental equipment. There are um there's clearly an alchemical bench where there are um reagents um set up and there is a blasting chamber chamber to the opposite side. Um, and there is uh what you see are um a a shelf of perfectly spherical violesence on a shelf um on the firewall. And you see a few designs of different types of of guns that seem to fit these spherical objects in them. Um and you see these in in the lab. Um and then the far wall you see that there is um basically a mirroring door that seemed to continue into the sewers. Um there's and to give you an idea of this room, it is like double height um and appears that it is was once like a collection bay like I
Justin Hale: Hey.
Christopher Hooper: don't know aquaor. I don't know if that's what it's called, but like where water collects and like then um gets drained into like a central drain that will exit out to the city to the to the seat. Um and so basically they've constructed a like platform and like large room within this like huge uh creasse. Um, but on either side are these uh mirroring doors and it looks like maybe the the sewers continue through the other
Tyram: Um I'd like to uh look around and see um if we have any uh signs of like
Christopher Hooper: side.
Tyram: Victor being here like well actually if he's here right now I guess but like um like anyway we could
Luke Neverisky: Is
Tyram: follow him, you know, like a trail of his leading out of here if that's what we need to
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Um yeah. Um yeah. Any uh anyone else like poking around this room? I want to kind of like resolve all these um u like
Tyram: find. I also probably be pretty tempted to steal those
Luke Neverisky: he?
Christopher Hooper: together. Okay.
Tyram: violescent orbs. They're pretty
Ellis Taylor: Oh, I think we're definitely going to steal those. And I definitely want to
Justin Hale: Yeah.
Tyram: valuable.
Ellis Taylor: investigate and check around and trying to figure out what he's doing and see also
Justin Hale: Um, can
Ellis Taylor: see how recently he's been
Justin Hale: I can I dig further into the Violescence orbs to see if I can just grab them or if I need to do like an Indiana Jones thing or if there's going to be any sort of ramifications for moving
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Um, sure. I think Okay. So, Brewan Silus, you kind of like um there is a rail with a one of those like
Justin Hale: them?
Christopher Hooper: library ladders with a rail like attached to it.
Ellis Taylor: There.
Christopher Hooper: Um and it connects it like can loop all the way around the room. And so you're able to slide that into place and uh reach up to uh the shelf that holds these um orbs. looking at them. Um, do you want to check for
Justin Hale: Uh, sure. Yeah. Uh, more so like investigating around it to see Yeah, I guess traps are something that's maybe not as obvious that he's set up as
Christopher Hooper: traps? Yeah, go ahead and give me the
Justin Hale: uh imploding or something on
Christopher Hooper: investigation check. And then um Ellis
Justin Hale: this. You would like
Christopher Hooper: uh why don't you also give an investigation check for um looking to see for recent signs of Victor around the on the six
Justin Hale: that? That's a
Christopher Hooper: looks
Walden Briarhelm: See
Ellis Taylor: Uh, dirty
Christopher Hooper: good 3020. Uh you see that there is like a more um there's a desk uh that like has writing
Justin Hale: six.
Christopher Hooper: materials and you see
Ellis Taylor: 20
Christopher Hooper: various journals, books, um books that are for writing like that he's written in it. It looks like you actually see um you find some like sealed letters uh that appear to be dressed to brew. Um Silus uh do you want to give me a slight of hand for seal for stealing some of these orbs?
Tyram: Absolutely f****** love stealing
Ellis Taylor: I'm definitely going to hand brew some of these
Christopher Hooper: Okay. 23
Tyram: arms. Uh
Ellis Taylor: letters.
Christopher Hooper: Um, you lift out some of these orbs and nothing
Tyram: 23
Luke Neverisky: That's
Christopher Hooper: happens. Um, Ellis, you you uh Olivia finds um probably uh one of the letters uh addressed to Brew is very faded and one is like brand new. um as you call out to to brew.
Ellis Taylor: Honey, I think you've got an admirer. I'm going to hand those to Brew and then I'm going to go back to his journals and just look at the most recent journal entry and the
Christopher Hooper: Um um you look at the most recent journal entry and it says um it
Ellis Taylor: date.
Christopher Hooper: looks like it was take it was dated five days ago and it says I think they're on to me. I set up a projection on the bench to try to throw off their scent. I think that if I don't think they know what kind of deal they have here, we'll continue to run our operations here until it becomes too dangerous. And Brute, um, you see these two letters addressed to you.
Justin Hale: Go. I'm going to hit the keep reading option in
Christopher Hooper: Um,
Justin Hale: the JRPG
Christopher Hooper: okay. Uh, which, uh, you open the newest one
Justin Hale: list.
Christopher Hooper: first and it says brew exclamation point. Would you like to get lunch sometime? I have a new
Justin Hale: Uhhuh. What?
Christopher Hooper: discovery I need to tell you
Justin Hale: What?
Ellis Taylor: I love
Christopher Hooper: about. Please
Ellis Taylor: you.
Luke Neverisky: I discovered
Christopher Hooper: bring me my doussing rod.
Luke Neverisky: it.
Christopher Hooper: See you soon,
Tyram: I like look over Bruce's shoulder. I'm like, damn. Even when he's not here, Victor finds a way to
Christopher Hooper: Victor.
Justin Hale: Yeah, he also has a really bad habit of
Tyram: be really
Justin Hale: like leaving me voicemails on the phone that he set up for
Tyram: annoying.
Justin Hale: me and writing letters that he never sends. So like I just sort of happened upon this stuff. It's like never actually sends it and then he doesn't remember that he sent it. It's really annoying or that he didn't send it, whatever. He like doesn't remember it happening at
Christopher Hooper: You open the older letter. Dear Brew, I remember fondly our times together. It is inspiring and often
Justin Hale: all.
Christopher Hooper: melancholy as I think now on the sea as I travel it into the horizon. I wish we were once again together for our experiments and our gayity. May we once again be joined together to learn more about the time space continuum in all that we may explore in between. your dearest friend and compatriate,
Justin Hale: Can I compare these two letters? Is the the most recent one like uh does it look different like the handwriting and everything? Does it look like more hectic or anything? Is this like a Dr.
Christopher Hooper: Victor. Um,
Justin Hale: thing going
Christopher Hooper: I mean, it's it's more hectic, you know. I don't know if you can do a full psych
Justin Hale: on.
Christopher Hooper: evaluation, but it it definitely looks like it was more uh hastefully written. The the newer
Justin Hale: Okay. Okay. How about How about the the Was there one
Christopher Hooper: one just uh just the
Justin Hale: more? Oh,
Christopher Hooper: two. Um
Justin Hale: okay. Well, that was about as helpful as
Christopher Hooper: yeah.
Justin Hale: anything else I've got from
Christopher Hooper: Um, anything? Anyone? Ma, uh, Liliana, you looking at
Luke Neverisky: Is the um is the aquafer like is there actually liquid flowing through
Christopher Hooper: anything? Yeah. Uh,
Justin Hale: him.
Christopher Hooper: so you kind of see like trickling down the walls. Um, and it looks like lining
Luke Neverisky: it?
Christopher Hooper: the like seams of the walls are these just like vents that that let the water like stream through under under the
Luke Neverisky: got it. Okay. And then you said there were mirrors or doors mirroring the
Christopher Hooper: room door. Yeah, there's a door that
Luke Neverisky: other
Christopher Hooper: is like matching the the door you came
Luke Neverisky: side. Gotcha. Okay, I'm I'm going to go see if I can open the
Christopher Hooper: into. Okay. Yeah.
Walden Briarhelm: I I think I'm gonna just hang out by the door we walked in, like be a guard kind of thing. Watch for if
Christopher Hooper: Um Okay.
Walden Briarhelm: anybody would
Christopher Hooper: Um yeah, a bit like that but underground
Luke Neverisky: door.
Christopher Hooper: Ellis. Um
Ellis Taylor: It is underground. It has skylights. Yeah,
Christopher Hooper: really. Oh
[02:20:00]
Ellis Taylor: it's a library in Barcelona. It's an old water um aquifer as aquafer is not the right word. Um man-made aqua water
Christopher Hooper: yeah. Aqueduct. What
Ellis Taylor: retention that they turned into a library. Aqueduct. No,
Christopher Hooper: did the Romans ever do for
Ellis Taylor: Aqueduct transports water. I thought aqueduct
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: us?
Ellis Taylor: transported water.
Christopher Hooper: What did you What did
Tyram: Aqueduct. The
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: you Google to get this? But you didn't know what it's
Tyram: roads.
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Oh, I've
Christopher Hooper: called?
Ellis Taylor: been here. I just Googled like water uh like bar library Barcelona water
Justin Hale: Any should look up water
Ellis Taylor: underground.
Christopher Hooper: Oh, water
Justin Hale: library.
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. I knew what I was looking for. I just did a lot of keywords
Christopher Hooper: library.
Ellis Taylor: until I found it. It's
Christopher Hooper: water
Justin Hale: Oh god, time
Ellis Taylor: absolutely
Christopher Hooper: tank. It's
Justin Hale: gun guy is
Ellis Taylor: gorgeous.
Christopher Hooper: a water
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Water tank there. Yeah. Underground water tank.
Walden Briarhelm: Were you looking for reservoir? Cuz I don't
Ellis Taylor: Here we go. Where it's
Walden Briarhelm: think that's that's for like
Justin Hale: back.
Ellis Taylor: reservoir maybe.
Christopher Hooper: tank. Um,
Walden Briarhelm: I don't know. I don't want to get into it. I don't know
Ellis Taylor: I'm not a civil
Christopher Hooper: I was thinking, you know, in
Walden Briarhelm: anything. I'm just a
Ellis Taylor: engineer. I build
Christopher Hooper: In um Catalan they say the deposit of the water. Um all right. So uh Liliana, you open the other
Ellis Taylor: buildings.
Christopher Hooper: door and uh you just open it normally, right?
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, I trust I trust whatever's happening here. It's It's probably
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. You open the door and
Luke Neverisky: fine.
Christopher Hooper: you see a bunch of people working uh and they and as you open the door they all several of them pause near the door and start looking at you and then the whole room just freezes and uh they start looking at you and a lot of things start happening. Firstly, it seems like a large group uh starts scurrying like out to the sides and then there are four to five uh well-armed figures approaching your
Luke Neverisky: Oh, can I tell what they were working
Christopher Hooper: door. Um yeah, give me a perception check. This is going to be your last action before you're engaged with something.
Walden Briarhelm: Oh, Luke, you're getting
Luke Neverisky: on? Okay. Oh, that's so cute. Uh, that is a critical failure for
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Walden Briarhelm: engaged.
Luke Neverisky: five. Wait, wait, hang on. I
Christopher Hooper: Um, wait,
Luke Neverisky: might have I might have lucky.
Christopher Hooper: wait. Something.
Tyram: Do you have
Luke Neverisky: Wait. Um, no.
Christopher Hooper: Please
Tyram: inspiration? Hell
Ellis Taylor: Mhm.
Luke Neverisky: But I'm going to use a luck point and reroll
Christopher Hooper: God.
Walden Briarhelm: That's 20.

Christopher Hooper: Um, you you know what you see? You know what you see,
Justin Hale: really
Christopher Hooper: Luke? You know what you see? You
Justin Hale: something.
Luke Neverisky: something. What do I
Christopher Hooper: see You know what you see? You

Luke Neverisky: say?
Christopher Hooper: see there were people working.
Justin Hale: What?
Luke Neverisky: Wait, you
Christopher Hooper: Um this is a place of work.
Justin Hale: Say what? Oh
Luke Neverisky: Oh, pass it.
Christopher Hooper: Um not play as you might have thought. A place of work. Um well now
Justin Hale: s***.
Tyram: I don't think anyone thought
Luke Neverisky: Okay. Well, not
Christopher Hooper: you don't. Um and people were working at well several things. Um, some of which you were able to see. Um, which
Tyram: that
Luke Neverisky: anymore.
Christopher Hooper: are uh
Justin Hale: Feel like I'm I'm listening to Oliver tell me a story before he goes to bed because he doesn't want to go to bed yet.
Tyram: If you don't know what they're doing, it's okay just to
Ellis Taylor: and and and and Spider-Man.
Christopher Hooper: you No, I I know. I'm just trying to figure out
Ellis Taylor: And and and
Christopher Hooper: what Liliana knows. Like, we all know what
Justin Hale: Um,
Christopher Hooper: she saw, but I don't know what Liliana knows.
Luke Neverisky: of
Christopher Hooper: So like so what Liliana
Tyram: say
Ellis Taylor: and
Christopher Hooper: saw which is clear um um is that there were people working um in this
Justin Hale: sure.
Luke Neverisky: course.
Christopher Hooper: room. What she the last thing she sees as she's approaching these arm figures approaching is that she kepts a she sees a glimpse of like with a 14. It reminds me it reminds her of Chalk Rock's like thoughtboard.
Justin Hale: something.
Tyram: How dare you bring
Luke Neverisky: Oh, okay.
Tyram: out Chalk
Ellis Taylor: That angel. The
Tyram: Rock. You didn't see him last time. He's a douchebag
Ellis Taylor: poor sweet boy.
Tyram: now. Yeah, he's a
Ellis Taylor: Is he really? I thought to I didn't know to made him a douchebag. I thought he was
Christopher Hooper: He's uber confident and that
Tyram: douchebag.
Ellis Taylor: just
Christopher Hooper: was uh disturbing.
Tyram: I
Ellis Taylor: toeer.
Tyram: hate him even more
Ellis Taylor: Now I have no faith in him if he's super
Christopher Hooper: Um um so you see you see like a like a ideas board going on to the side and that's the last thing you see before these arm figures come up
Tyram: now.
Christopher Hooper: against you and say
Ellis Taylor: confident.
Christopher Hooper: uh ma'am you're going to need to come with Uh, and they grab you and start hauling you
Luke Neverisky: Hey, don't touch me. I did not
Christopher Hooper: away,
Walden Briarhelm: would uh is directly across because he's standing at the front door. So I I or the the entrance door. So he should be able to see or is there obstacles blocking his vision directly
Christopher Hooper: Zach. Yeah, you you can see it's pretty far. It's like
Walden Briarhelm: across?
Christopher Hooper: across the room, but you can see Liliana getting pulled away.
Luke Neverisky: confent.
Christopher Hooper: Uh
Walden Briarhelm: Okay. How far
Christopher Hooper: probably like 30
Walden Briarhelm: away? Okay. I assume can move that with no real uh obstacles. I'm going to say the same word again.
Christopher Hooper: ft. Conviction obstacles.
Walden Briarhelm: So gonna there like there's he's not gonna have any struggle with it. So, I'm gonna say would want to like rush
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Walden Briarhelm: over there because he can see one of the party members is
Christopher Hooper: Yeah,
Walden Briarhelm: now dealing with

Walden Briarhelm: heard her.
Christopher Hooper: and you've seen too much. I need to take you into
Walden Briarhelm: I I want to squeeze
Luke Neverisky: consent.
Walden Briarhelm: his arm to like not necessarily deal damage. I guess it would have to in this world, but I want to like threaten
Christopher Hooper: custody.
Walden Briarhelm: that like you're not getting to do this
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Um, do you want to do a strength best based
Walden Briarhelm: easily.
Christopher Hooper: intimidation role?
Walden Briarhelm: strengthbased intimidation. So use my strength modifier and roll

Christopher Hooper: looks like he delivers um a huge batch of hot dogs at approximately
Ellis Taylor: So, we're new in town. You need
Christopher Hooper: 12:30.
Ellis Taylor: to break You need to break that code down for
Christopher Hooper: Um, okay. So,
Ellis Taylor: us.
Christopher Hooper: uh, meat, right? Um, a lot of the cut, the best cuts you're you're going to want to put into steaks. Uh, different types, uh, a lot of times you'll put in stews, but sometimes a lot of the worst cuts, uh, meat that you don't want into steaks, you'll grind up. Now, a lot of people spice these in different ways into different sausages, but uh one of the um little fun meals that they make is called what they call a hot dog. And they encase and it's a pretty similar process to a sausage, but a little bit different. Um there's a lot of extra processing. I think that's why it's so cheap. And they use a lot of salt, I think. And they usually put it on a pretty classic style um piece of bread. Uh I don't know. It
Ellis Taylor: So wait, he he's literally he's literally delivering hot
Christopher Hooper: reminds Yes. Yeah. Yeah. He says it's a real
Ellis Taylor: dogs.
Christopher Hooper: cost He says it's a real cost uh what does he say? Uh a cost
Ellis Taylor: Victor
Christopher Hooper: leader. Is that what it's called? Um, the way he
Luke Neverisky: Take a
Christopher Hooper: says it's like it's to get people into the zoo because they know they can get cheap hot dogs when they get in there. And so his scheme is that if we just buy a bunch of hot dogs that uh it's it's basically much cheaper than if
Luke Neverisky: loader.
Christopher Hooper: we were to try to make or or buy the hot dogs elsewhere. Loss leader. I'm sorry. Loss leader. That's the terminology is that you
Ellis Taylor: So, he'll be
Christopher Hooper: know
Ellis Taylor: in before or after
Christopher Hooper: um after
Tyram: Please say his
Ellis Taylor: 12. Okay, thank
Christopher Hooper: 12. Oh,
Tyram: apartment. Yeah.
Ellis Taylor: you. Oh, yeah. We could
Christopher Hooper: Victor's I don't know.
Ellis Taylor: just go there and talk to him.
Christopher Hooper: Um I believe he has several apartments in the city. You all seem so crestfalling. I'm sorry. I You'll be here tomorrow. I I I can give you my hot dog if you

Christopher Hooper: Sorry.
Walden Briarhelm: Okay, very
Ellis Taylor: call
Walden Briarhelm: cool. So we have a safe house.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Um, cool. So, y'all
Luke Neverisky: All right.
Christopher Hooper: head out. You head to the safe
Walden Briarhelm: It seemed like want to check and make sure the key works.
Tyram: dogs.
Luke Neverisky: Nice. Might as well check it out. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: house. Yeah. Uh, you head into the safe house. Um, it is like a It's like a New York brownstone. Um,
Justin Hale: Brown.
Ellis Taylor: Sure. There's a
Christopher Hooper: so, uh, made of stone, brown stone specifically. Um, and three levels. Uh so you kind of get into the entryway and um living quarter like uh living room kitchen and then you find like six uh six full like lavish bedrooms on the second and third floors. And it opens up to a roof that's uh like got a rooftop garden um above it. And it's uh very nice hardwood
Walden Briarhelm: Damn, the Twilight
Tyram: sick.
Walden Briarhelm: Company does not have a bad taste in interior design. This is lovely.
Tyram: Okay.
Ellis Taylor: Damn, I'm
Christopher Hooper: floors. All right.
Ellis Taylor: down.
Christopher Hooper: And um that's your safe house. Um cool. I think that's all we're going to do tonight cuz it's getting
Walden Briarhelm: Is is the zoo covering? That sounds wrong. Is the zoo above the Twilight Company headquarters?
Christopher Hooper: late. Um,
Walden Briarhelm: that what we've discovered
Christopher Hooper: so as you go on the like rooftop garden of your your safe house, you see across the main drive is the zoo. Um, so you are like it's B. So I think I I I tried to explain basically Victor is like Victor's lab is under the main like Broad Street that goes alongside the zoo. So as underground as you go into Victor's lab, you are leaving from under the zoo itself.
Walden Briarhelm: Perfect. Very cool. Very good. Thank you. You were you were summarizing the Twilight Company's back. There's
Justin Hale: Damn, Victor. Slippery little
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Walden Briarhelm: a lot of feet and hot dog talk
Luke Neverisky: A lot of
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. It's the way we do.
Walden Briarhelm: tonight and
Justin Hale: snake. AI is gonna have
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Justin Hale: a hate for this one.
Luke Neverisky: it.
Christopher Hooper: And this is why I always label our episodes as contra as uh what is it? Um like adult content I think is what I have to label it as mature
Walden Briarhelm: cigarettes. Mature
Luke Neverisky: Makes sense.
Walden Briarhelm: So, next time we're going to hopefully run into Victor and we will be
Christopher Hooper: themes. Yeah.
Walden Briarhelm: doing big
Christopher Hooper: You know, I
Walden Briarhelm: things. Very
Christopher Hooper: expected y'all to meet Victor tonight, but y'all love uh y'all love that zoo. It's a
Justin Hale: Yeah.
Luke Neverisky: nice. I mean, can't you blame us? It's cool,
Christopher Hooper: cool zoo.
Walden Briarhelm: cool.
Justin Hale: Hey, you asked us to describe it and then
Luke Neverisky: dude.
Justin Hale: gave us the uh Jonah Hill equivalent of a security guard. So, that's kind of on
Tyram: I mean, he
Christopher Hooper: True.
Justin Hale: you.
Tyram: could have just been in the lab if he wanted him to be.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, the timing was weird.
[02:50:00]
Tyram: The timing is whatever you wanted it to be. This isn't a f like we're not transcribing a
Christopher Hooper: Um, I
Justin Hale: Whoever's over
Tyram: sacred text. You could have just decided he was
Christopher Hooper: already said that he I already said he had
Justin Hale: here, I don't write the
Tyram: there. We effectively accomplished nothing
Christopher Hooper: lunch.
Justin Hale: rules. What are you talking about? We got
