Tyram: Racism is racism the term we

Justin Hale: That's

Tyram: would Oh, that's the first thing we're recording. Is racism term we

Ellis Taylor: I feel like tober was slightly late on picking up the anti-reading racist, but let me make sure we repeat it for the Google AI AI

Justin Hale: true.

Tyram: would the AI usually doesn't give a s*** about this part of the beginning. It

Luke Neverisky: Right.

Tyram: usually keys in when we're actually like in

Ellis Taylor: notes. I know. But

Justin Hale: It's

Luke Neverisky: Okay.

Tyram: character. It's probably on the

Ellis Taylor: the cold opening is the best.

Tyram: transcript script if you want to read that,

Ellis Taylor: No, I'm not reading that. That's

Justin Hale: learned. Does our pipeline still autopop populate the transcript? I don't even know

Tyram: but it's me. But um yeah,

Justin Hale: anymore.

Christopher Hooper: Yes, it

Tyram: so we were creeping down one of the hallways when uh Liliana found a reflecting pool that let her talk to Helisana.

Ellis Taylor: garbage.

Tyram: And Helisana is like, "Yo, don't go in this portal. You'll kill us all." Or

Luke Neverisky: Are you

Tyram: you and me, rather. And then like Helisana or sorry, Liliana, I'm

Christopher Hooper: should.

Tyram: mixing it up a lot right now since both characters are in the action. Uh but uh

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, makes

Tyram: Liliana is like, "f*** that." And hit the portal button.

Christopher Hooper: sense.

Tyram: And so, um yeah, I think that's where we left

Justin Hale: Good.

Luke Neverisky: sure?

Tyram: off is we're all clinging to Bob. Uh and we were we were trying not to get sucked into that portal, but apparently f***

Luke Neverisky: currently. There's a

Tyram: that.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, there was there was a scenario where like strength checks were or strength saves were were made, but um I realized

Luke Neverisky: chance

Christopher Hooper: that if half of you failed and were sucked into the portal and then ended up dying separately. That would be that would be complicated for the campaign.

Tyram: Yeah, forget ruining your plans by Yes. Anding the party. You'd be

Ellis Taylor: That'd be not

Tyram: ruining your plans by splitting the party yourself, which is a deand nightmare,

Christopher Hooper: So, yeah. Um All

Tyram: famously.

Ellis Taylor: fun.

Christopher Hooper: right. So, um yeah, you um just as you said, you're at the reflecting pole room and you pushed aside a statue. Um Liliana had gotten told you that she's very concerned about you entering the portal. Um and we had just heard um Liliana uh we'll say we'll pick up from your speech that you gave uh that um as you you all face the portal and decide to go in um we you one at a time go And as you go through it feels you you basically start falling ass over teac kettle and tumbling. Uh, and as you're tumbling, you uh it feels like falling down a well, uh, as it gets darker, but instead of, um, at some point halfway through you feel like a weird flip and um you end up landing on your feet. Uh actually, why doesn't everyone start off with a dexterity saving throw? Let's see who does land on their

Ellis Taylor: All right, don't forget your plus threes, everybody. Let's see

Christopher Hooper: feet. I can see your role.

Ellis Taylor: if I can see my rolls again. Oh

Justin Hale: Everybody grab

Luke Neverisky: Nice.

Christopher Hooper: Nice. All right. Cool.

Ellis Taylor: my goodness.

Ellis Taylor: So 17 for me.

Justin Hale: said? Three. Oh boy.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah.

Justin Hale: So that's that's uh

Christopher Hooper: Uhoh. Um. All right.

Tyram: with the plus

Christopher Hooper: Mhm. Yep. Uh, cool. And Ally, what about you?

Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Do I have to roll like a

Luke Neverisky: Got

Tyram: three. You are muted,

Ellis Taylor: box? All

Ali Leonard: I was trying to load

Christopher Hooper: She did give me the

Tyram: Alex.

Ali Leonard: my my page. Um I was say one second. Uh

Christopher Hooper: finger.

Justin Hale: 11

Christopher Hooper: Okay. Oh, like

Luke Neverisky: one.

Ali Leonard: six. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: total with with the three the plus

Ali Leonard: Yeah. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: three. So you got a three.

Luke Neverisky: Like when the DM goes, Oh

Christopher Hooper: Oh.

Ellis Taylor: right. I think I need to roll one for Bob. I

Justin Hale: asking for

Ellis Taylor: forgot.

Ali Leonard: Yeah.

Ellis Taylor: He gets a plus three, I think. Oh no,

Justin Hale: God.

Luke Neverisky: no.

Ali Leonard: me and

Ellis Taylor: Bob got a

Justin Hale: Um,

Christopher Hooper: Oh,

Justin Hale: I could roll for He has his own stats, but he has like all of the super stealthy stats that have everything, so he's

Tyram: Does Kevin actually float around or am I just like I've always been imagining

Justin Hale: probably

Ali Leonard: Bob. Thank

Christopher Hooper: okay.

Tyram: that he wouldn't I wouldn't have a problem anyway,

Ellis Taylor: five.

Justin Hale: fine.

Ali Leonard: you.

Justin Hale: Well, oh, fair. That's

Christopher Hooper: Um, so, uh, let's see. So,

Tyram: right?

Justin Hale: fair.

Christopher Hooper: um, Brew, uh, Brew, Bob, and, um, I really just did this so everyone would have their character sheets handy and I could remember everyone's names. Um, El Smith uh all um take a really hard landing. Um go ahead and give go ahead and

Ali Leonard: die.

Christopher Hooper: take uh 3d6 uh fall

Ali Leonard: 86

Christopher Hooper: damage.

Ellis Taylor: Oh man, are Are you rolling it or are you rolling it?

Luke Neverisky: Spicy.

Christopher Hooper: Um I'll roll it if you

Ellis Taylor: One, two,

Ali Leonard: Actually,

Christopher Hooper: want. I roll pretty good. 11

Ellis Taylor: three. No, we should roll our own

Justin Hale: Hello. Thank

Ali Leonard: mama.

Justin Hale: you.

Christopher Hooper: Um

Tyram: I'm just picturing like El Smith and Brute just like belly flop onto like the concrete and then Silus just kind of like lands on both of their

Luke Neverisky: 13.

Christopher Hooper: and um the ones that that

Tyram: backs.

Ellis Taylor: dice. Nurse's HP.

Christopher Hooper: land upright and comfortably, you look around you and it looks like the library um but it is strewn with um you immediately notice that It's dripping wet. Uh there's kind of like water seeping in through the stone walls and you

Ellis Taylor: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: see like major fungus issues. Um you know, black mold type of thing. Um, and uh, importantly, you start to see these like um, you can't tell if they're vines or tentacles or tubes or something of that nature, but there's some some things kind of coming up from the ground and kind of like um around a lot of the structures around

Luke Neverisky: Good

Christopher Hooper: you. Um,

Tyram: Are they

Luke Neverisky: question. Roll

Christopher Hooper: you want to get closer and see if you can figure out more about

Tyram: undulating? No.

Justin Hale: Can I give a real quick look at Liliana? Is

Luke Neverisky: for am

Christopher Hooper: it.

Justin Hale: she like on the cusp of disintegrating or like

Luke Neverisky: I like am I back to the

Justin Hale: vanishing?

Christopher Hooper: And well

Tyram: We all have our like photograph of Liliana that

Luke Neverisky: future?

Christopher Hooper: uh um why don't Liliana and Buu give me uh perception checks as you're kind of landing and looking around? Actually, why

Justin Hale: Yeah. What's

Christopher Hooper: don't you all go go ahead and give me perception

Tyram: like

Justin Hale: that?

Luke Neverisky: Okay, I can do

Christopher Hooper: checks.

Luke Neverisky: that. 19

Tyram: Uh

Justin Hale: Did it with

Luke Neverisky: here.

Justin Hale: advantage? I can't tell. Do I have to do the advantage myself?

Christopher Hooper: I think so. N

Tyram: 19. Do you get advantage from like your shield or

Ellis Taylor: 10.

Justin Hale: I guess I do.

Christopher Hooper: 20.

Justin Hale: Oh, but um I don't remember what gives me the advantage. It's

Ali Leonard: That's a

Justin Hale: I think it's something I'm wearing. Sentinel shield.

Ali Leonard: five for

Christopher Hooper: Jesus. Cool. Cool. Cool.

Justin Hale: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: Cool. Uh Elizabeth is having a rough time.

Tyram: something? Smith is just off for a game right

Luke Neverisky: Light

Ali Leonard: me. I'm face in

Christopher Hooper: incredibly

Ellis Taylor: Oh, this is

Ali Leonard: the dirt.

Justin Hale: What you guys know is El Smith has an an irrational fear of

Luke Neverisky: blue.

Ali Leonard: I'm

Tyram: now. She was sure it was never going to come

Ellis Taylor: distracted. There we

Ali Leonard: allergic. She's got a mold allergy and this is just really kicking it up.

Justin Hale: portals.

Christopher Hooper: disoriented. So, um because of what you're

Tyram: up. Love the idea that we

Ellis Taylor: go.

Christopher Hooper: talking

Tyram: spend the rest of the time not giving a s*** about Liliana. Like, hell's been s***. Are you

Justin Hale: Shut up.

Luke Neverisky: Okay. She's having trouble

Justin Hale: Liliana Elizabeth is in

Tyram: okay? You're being really inconsiderate right now,

Luke Neverisky: breathing.

Christopher Hooper: Um, speaking of which, Liliana, you look around you and you see

Justin Hale: trouble.

Christopher Hooper: um, one thing that is interesting is normally you can't see as far uh, because there's like trees and forest

Tyram: Lily.

Christopher Hooper: and things in the way. Um, but with all that cleared, you can actually see directly to the road

Ellis Taylor: still think down. Okay.

Christopher Hooper: that leads to your home, uh, your family's

Ellis Taylor: Well, you do. You do a

Christopher Hooper: home. Uh, and that, um, you can just just hear a little music coming from that direction. And Bru, as you're looking around,

Ellis Taylor: group.

[00:10:00]

Christopher Hooper: um you you were checking Liliana, you see that she's kind of distracted by this music. Uh that with that 30 you hear too. Um you also see um like there are like structures and things here that match where you were before. Um but a lot of the like basically none of the vegetation is there. Um the sky is um full of like lightning like red lightning amongst uh thick clouds very dark. Um and that's the sky. Yeah, the sky is full of like this red

Ellis Taylor: sky. We

Christopher Hooper: lightning. Um, you're still inside,

Ellis Taylor: weren't We're not inside

Justin Hale: Where are we? Are

Christopher Hooper: but as you can like peer out the windows and

Ellis Taylor: anymore. Oh,

Christopher Hooper: things. Oh, and the roof is

Ellis Taylor: okay. We're in the upside

Justin Hale: we

Tyram: There weren't any. We were like in a basement back in like the the real

Ellis Taylor: down.

Tyram: world, right? So like are we in like a different part of the library now

Christopher Hooper: missing. It's just a one It was just a one floor

Tyram: or

Justin Hale: okay?

Luke Neverisky: Gotcha.

Christopher Hooper: library.

Tyram: Okay. I thought we were in like a corridor that didn't have any like windows or anything.

Christopher Hooper: um they they were like they're pretty innocuous uh when you're in there before, but it's a it remember this is like a community center library. So imagine a very like you know like 1940s50s the battle

Justin Hale: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: map looked like a fantasy dungeon but the library itself is a

Tyram: Okay.

Ellis Taylor: Mhm. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: like community library.

Tyram: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: Um, so, uh, there's windows. One thing you're able to see is there are like large parts of the, uh, roof are missing, um, where you are

Luke Neverisky: Got

Christopher Hooper: now, which gives you a lot more view of of around

Justin Hale: Do we do we feel geographically in a different place or does this feel like a a mirror world like an upside down

Christopher Hooper: you with that 30. It feels like an

Justin Hale: of the same place we were?

Luke Neverisky: it.

Christopher Hooper: upside down of where you

Luke Neverisky: Okay. My house. So, okay, that makes

Christopher Hooper: were.

Luke Neverisky: sense.

Christopher Hooper: Um, and then let's see. What other things are

Ellis Taylor: Mhm. It's going to have the demo

Christopher Hooper: we going to honor? We uh uh Silus, what

Ellis Taylor: gorgon.

Christopher Hooper: was your perception? What do you think you'd be like looking around

Tyram: 19. Um, Silus would

Christopher Hooper: for?

Tyram: probably be looking around for anything that wants to kill us. So like any sort of like

Justin Hale: Okay.

Tyram: dangers or uh just unfriendly sites I

Christopher Hooper: Um yeah, with that 19 you start to see movement along the ground. Um it looks like things you you see one at first begin. It looks like something

Tyram: guess

Christopher Hooper: crawling like uh climbing out of the ground. And then you you see a couple other that a couple other movement that that looks similar to. At this point, you only see one uh it kind of looks like uh some of the shades that you were fighting before. Um, but a little more physical and a little more

Tyram: Okay. Um, I'd like to alert the rest of the party through the psychic phone that uh there's a bunch of s*** around

Luke Neverisky: Not

Tyram: us.

Christopher Hooper: beastial s***

Tyram: And I also probably want to like jump up and cling to uh somebody's back, whoever's closest to

Luke Neverisky: good.

Christopher Hooper: noted. Cool. Who's catching

Tyram: me.

Justin Hale: Not

Christopher Hooper: Silus? Olivia. All right,

Tyram: Monsters. Monsters.

Ellis Taylor: Okay, sweetie. Okay, we'll be

Christopher Hooper: great. All right.

Tyram: Monsters. Well, we I'm not 100% on that

Christopher Hooper: Uh, Liliana, are you taking

Luke Neverisky: Yeah, I want to

Christopher Hooper: point on this

Ellis Taylor: fine.

Justin Hale: a

Luke Neverisky: um um I kind of want to go

Christopher Hooper: one?

Luke Neverisky: towards my my house. Um, is it easily like is that doable from where I am to start heading that

Christopher Hooper: Yeah,

Luke Neverisky: direction? Okay.

Christopher Hooper: absolutely. Um, it's very

Tyram: one.

Christopher Hooper: easy. It's it's it's very easy because basically normally you'd have to go around a forest. um that would take you like 2 miles to walk around. And now the way this is arranged, it's like a quarter

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Got it. Okay.

Christopher Hooper: mile. You'll get there in like 5

Luke Neverisky: Yeah, I'm definitely just going to want to uh keep an eye on the the baddies and give them a birth if possible, but um head towards the

Christopher Hooper: minutes. Okay, cool. Um all right, so the rest of you follow. Uh yeah, go

Tyram: Oh. Uh, can I ask one more

Luke Neverisky: house.

Tyram: question? Did any of the camera drones follow us through the

Christopher Hooper: ahead. You don't see any so

Tyram: portal?

Luke Neverisky: Oh.

Tyram: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: far? Um all right. So, Liliana, um you all follow Liliana to um a nice cottage. Um, it And it has like uh motion sensor lights as you begin to approach. Um uh but the lights are still like gas lamps. Um the you see inside that um there are still lights on inside. Um seems to be uh you you

Tyram: Thanks.

Christopher Hooper: all as you as you approach can you can hear a louder. It sounds like someone's playing um a guitar, an electric guitar. Um and uh Liliana you um well uh here I'll present

Luke Neverisky: Is the uh is the song

Christopher Hooper: something

Luke Neverisky: familiar?

Christopher Hooper: Um, I would say it sound it sounds like your brother playing playing his guitar like he used to do in the

Luke Neverisky: Oh, very good. All right. Um, well, now that I've kind of recognized that, I'm going to want to just kind of run through the front door

Christopher Hooper: evenings. Um, yeah, you do.

Luke Neverisky: basically.

Christopher Hooper: Um, and uh, inside you see uh, your mom, your dad, your brother. Um, Steven's uh, by the hearth playing his electric guitar. He loves to play. It's got the blue crescent moon um, like uh, that part of it leading up to uh, well refined um, steel strings. Um, your mom is making dinner, um, serving the table as your dad, uh, polishes his armor. And as you walk in the door, uh, your dad looks up and says, "Liliana, where have you

Luke Neverisky: Oh. Uh, just out and about. I didn't Where where have you

Christopher Hooper: been?" Oh, well, uh, just got back from

Luke Neverisky: been?

Christopher Hooper: patrol and, um, we're about just about to ready to eat

Luke Neverisky: Well, that sounds what um I'm going to ask the mom. What are you

Christopher Hooper: dinner. Oh, Liliana, it's um, one of Steven's favorites. Oh, roast beef. Yep, roast beef stew. That's right. Um, and uh, did you pick up that fresh spro I asked you to pick up in

Luke Neverisky: making? Duh. Um, I I guess I didn't. All right.

Christopher Hooper: town? Oh, it's okay. We have some leftover from yesterday. Uh it'll be it'll still be nice because all the juices will will loosen it up anyway. Um hey, do you have some friends with

Luke Neverisky: Oh, great. These are my got kind of distracted. Uh, these are my friends. Friends, these are my family.

Christopher Hooper: you? Oh, that's great. Come on in,

Tyram: I want to think

Luke Neverisky: Um,

Christopher Hooper: y'all.

Tyram: of Liliana. Are you sure that's your family? Why would they

Luke Neverisky: That's That's kind of a good question

Tyram: be

Luke Neverisky: actually. Um, hey um um mom or dad I guess. Um why is the sky all um you know looking? I don't

Tyram: here?

Luke Neverisky: remember it ever looking like that.

Christopher Hooper: Oh yeah, honey. Yeah, I'm sorry. This is something that happened a long time ago where we're living in

Luke Neverisky: What? What? Please do

Christopher Hooper: now. Yeah. I I think that this is one of the last times last times you saw us all

Luke Neverisky: elaborate.

Christopher Hooper: together

Luke Neverisky: Oh, so you just live in this continual happy loop.

Christopher Hooper: happy Why don't we just have this nice scene and I'll I'll explain afterwards. All

Luke Neverisky: It hurts to me. Friends, what do you think? Yeah, I said

Christopher Hooper: Oh, you haven't been gone but for a few

Luke Neverisky: left for a few hours

Ellis Taylor: Oh,

Luke Neverisky: right now I'm all sorcery confused. Maybe we

Christopher Hooper: hours.

Luke Neverisky: should just have dinner. That's just that that makes sense, right? Just have dinner.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, you'll feel better after we have some

Ellis Taylor: honey. I am not

Luke Neverisky: Yeah.

Tyram: Lily, I don't think we

Ellis Taylor: eating. Okay.

Tyram: should have dinner with these people who are definitely not

Tyram: your

Luke Neverisky: check on

Christopher Hooper: dinner. Yeah, give me an insight

Luke Neverisky: family?

Christopher Hooper: check.

Tyram: family.

Justin Hale: Can I do a perception check too of like I does this feel real or does this feel like put on by the show or

Christopher Hooper: Why don't you give me um It's not a perception. It would be probably an arcana

Justin Hale: something?

Luke Neverisky: 21 insight.

Christopher Hooper: check 21 insight. 22 arcana.

Justin Hale: Okay. on Hey,

Christopher Hooper: Great. Um, uh, Liliana, give me a wisdom saving

Ellis Taylor: You're next to me.

Luke Neverisky: That was

Christopher Hooper: hero. 19. All

Justin Hale: Arana.

Christopher Hooper: right. Um, now I got to remember how much damage we were

Luke Neverisky: 19, right?

Christopher Hooper: doing. um for your

Tyram: like one.

Ellis Taylor: Don't

Christopher Hooper: memories. Just

Tyram: I think it was one every

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Yep. No

Tyram: time. There's

Justin Hale: I think it was a coin flip. It was either like one damage or

Luke Neverisky: roll possible. Big

Tyram: one. Yeah. Like some like, you know what? I'm not even going

Ellis Taylor: Yeah,

Tyram: to bother doing damage.

Ellis Taylor: I It's like there's a a stone in our shoe.

Christopher Hooper: one. Okay.

Tyram: We're all

Ellis Taylor: Really? It's not that big a deal. Damn

Justin Hale: none.

Christopher Hooper: Okay.

Tyram: remembering it the same way. So instead of pretty

Ellis Taylor: pebble. The nose will

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, that is a good

Tyram: good evidence that it

Ellis Taylor: prove us true.

Christopher Hooper: point. Uh,

Justin Hale: Yeah, sort of a hive mind

Luke Neverisky: deal.

Christopher Hooper: okay. We'll we'll just do 2d6. How about

Luke Neverisky: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: that? All right.

Justin Hale: situation.

Christopher Hooper: So, uh, you get eight psychic damage as you come flooding back. Uh, you you saw this scene the first time.

Tyram: must

Christopher Hooper: um as you uh when you first went through uh this this experience, this portal, this

Luke Neverisky: How?

Christopher Hooper: uh you remember actually that this was almost like a trial. Um you had to you went through these different moments in time. Um, and do you remember having to make a decision and part of that decision led you to to being

Luke Neverisky: H.

Christopher Hooper: hella? Well, you live

Luke Neverisky: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: through it once, so should be

Luke Neverisky: H I

Tyram: Theoretically, you should be much much stronger than you

Luke Neverisky: mean

Tyram: were the first time you went through here.

Ellis Taylor: I'm gonna

Christopher Hooper: fine.

Ellis Taylor: pat Liliana on the shoulder and say we're with you. And I'm also going to give her some some lay on hands healing. I'm going to check how much I have real quick and then I'll let you know

Tyram: way. Super laidback

Justin Hale: music for a horror

Christopher Hooper: Yeah.

Tyram: face

Ellis Taylor: I like to imagine the brothers like looks the exact same but

Tyram: melting. Actually, that'd be really good. That'd be like

Ellis Taylor: still playing like this over in the corner.

Justin Hale: scene.

Christopher Hooper: Okay. Well, you will follow the path. Uh you will learn a lot about yourself and uh

Tyram: is

Ellis Taylor: first?

Christopher Hooper: it takes you to uh well where the forest used to be. Uh yes, but if you leave the bed, you go to Eg and uh uh he either eats you or he

Luke Neverisky: I see. So, so

Christopher Hooper: turn you into

Luke Neverisky: path is path is good. Path is um we like the path friends. We we like

Christopher Hooper: something. Yeah. I mean, it's a hard

Luke Neverisky: it.

Christopher Hooper: choice. I'm not going to lie. It's a hard choice because the bad, you know, you bet yourself. So, uh, you know, that's sometimes not worth it, you

Luke Neverisky: So, I've been here before, I'm

Christopher Hooper: know. Oh, yes, yes, yes. The last time you didn't even stop. You just got dinner. It was great. We had a really nice

Luke Neverisky: Oh, that sounds awful, but

Christopher Hooper: Army.

Luke Neverisky: okay.

Christopher Hooper: All right. Ready? Here we go. Let's go back into the main

Ellis Taylor: Okay.

Luke Neverisky: No.

Justin Hale: And I I'm I'm like constantly just looking around. Is there

Christopher Hooper: room.

Justin Hale: any uh is there anything that gives away that we're still being like watched or did we like truly step into like

Luke Neverisky: Okay.

Justin Hale: a pocket dimension where we're not being observed anymore?

Christopher Hooper: with that uh 30. You You don't see anything? Um yeah, it didn't seem like anything followed

Luke Neverisky: makes great for TV,

Christopher Hooper: you.

Justin Hale: Okay. I think we're we're clear of the cameras and all of the other eyeballs. Just just so we

Luke Neverisky: too.

Christopher Hooper: Um, okay. I'm going to go ahead into

Luke Neverisky: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: on. She looks all nice again. Um, and uh she goes back in and you hear

Luke Neverisky: Press

Christopher Hooper: um you hear uh Josiah crying uh as he holds his son in a hug uh through the doorway. Uh, are you all going

Luke Neverisky: I Yeah, I guess. I

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Luke Neverisky: guess. Yeah, we have

Ellis Taylor: Sure.

Justin Hale: I'm the last one to go in. I want to see if like s***

Christopher Hooper: in? Um,

Justin Hale: changes out

Christopher Hooper: so y'all are in an inner room. So, uh, as

Luke Neverisky: to.

Christopher Hooper: everyone goes in, you see it start to get darker as like it like the frame of

Justin Hale: here.

Christopher Hooper: reference is changing. Um, and it starts to feel like you start to look around the room and like the back walls start to dissolve and just as you look back you you see this like um this like phantom like beast uh with like a flade like toothy

Luke Neverisky: Go

Christopher Hooper: mouth um coming from space and it it blinks. It seems to blink in and out. Um, and it starts to bound towards

Justin Hale: Oh boy, I'm going to jump back in. Hey, maybe

Luke Neverisky: start.

Justin Hale: not stay lingering for very

Luke Neverisky: the dog. It's

Tyram: Oh, did you see that dog she was talking

Christopher Hooper: you.

Justin Hale: long. Yeah, if that's what if that's what you want to call

Luke Neverisky: real. Okay. So,

Ellis Taylor: Oh,

Justin Hale: it.

Luke Neverisky: she was telling the truth

Ellis Taylor: hi. You sitting here when I walked down earlier? I heard.

Justin Hale: It's It's a little

Christopher Hooper: Um,

Tyram: about?

Justin Hale: creepy. I don't I don't think

Luke Neverisky: there.

Justin Hale: we have a choice of what's happening here

Tyram: Man, this place really

Luke Neverisky: Who decided to go into the portal

Justin Hale: either.

Christopher Hooper: and

Tyram: sucks. Let's just like stares over at Liliana for a

Justin Hale: Leroy

Christopher Hooper: Um, Liliana, you hear uh your

Tyram: second. Okay.

Christopher Hooper: dad hold you see him hold your your brother out

Luke Neverisky: anyway?

Christopher Hooper: and says, "My son, you you don't have to go." And uh your brother says, "Dad, dad, I have to. I love playing music, but I want to make a difference in the world." I thought maybe our band, but that's that's child play. I I want to follow you. Do what you did. Explore. Make something of myself. You don't need to do that. You You brought joy to the world with your music, with with the joy you brought everybody. Come on. You don't You don't have to go. I need to go, Dad. I need to. I'm sorry. You I'll see you soon. Oh, I'm They say there's boot camp and you know I'll be in Elder M for training and stuff, but I'll come back soon. It's not far. Okay. Okay, my boy. All right. And you'll get the checks, too. I know y'all need it. So, uh, and my music wasn't making anything. We'll be fine. I mean, you taught Liliana so good. She I'm sure she she'll be making something soon. It'll be We'll be fine. You don't need to do it for the money. No, no. I It'll be good for all of us if I go and I'll be back and it'll be better for everybody. I know it. And he heads out the door. And you see uh Josiah go to the table and just begin to weep into his

Luke Neverisky: Um, is this playing out like like can I interact with them

Christopher Hooper: hands.

Luke Neverisky: or like can I speak with them or it's kind of like okay um can I Um, before before Steven gets out, I guess, can I stop him and be like, "Why are you going to combat training? Like, that's that's really dangerous.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yes. Lily, I I've told you so many times that I'm not going to do anything doing these gigs and no one's coming to the shows. It It's whatever. But I can make something in

Luke Neverisky: But have you considered doing something else like between music and combat? That's kind of extreme. I mean, there got to be other things, right? Well, that's

Christopher Hooper: Elderin. I mean, with dad, we got so many connections. Easy. I can start making big money right

Luke Neverisky: safer. Big money is such a risk though to yourself.

[00:40:00]

Christopher Hooper: away. I think I think it'll be fine. I I heard that um I've been studying a lot and uh you know that we we've been learning a lot together. I think I can do a

Luke Neverisky: So you'd be

Christopher Hooper: research track or

Luke Neverisky: non-combat

Christopher Hooper: something. Well, I don't get to choose, but I think I got a

Luke Neverisky: then. Makes me nervous you doing that. But um I mean can I guess leverage some of dad's connections and try to you know pull some strings and don't just don't get yourself killed you

Christopher Hooper: shot. Hey, I'm going to do my best, Lily. And hey, it's going to be up to you to take care of mom and dad. I know that they say they don't

Luke Neverisky: know

Christopher Hooper: need money and I'm going to send every sin I can, but you know, you got talent. You can do this. You know, uh, you got it. Stay with it. Okay? Don't give up.

Luke Neverisky: Well, it kind

Christopher Hooper: I'm not giving up. I don't want you to think that this is me giving up,

Luke Neverisky: of seems like it

Christopher Hooper: okay? I, you know, it's just I got other options. And if hey, if you got other options that are better, you know, you take them, too. But I I I

Luke Neverisky: honestly

Christopher Hooper: love seeing you play. Hey, and if you keep get keep getting at it, then my guitar, it's yours. All right. But you you got to earn

Luke Neverisky: Well, I mean, can I say anything that will deter you from, you know, can I convince you at

Christopher Hooper: it. Pretty sad on this. But I know you care and that'll that'll help me. All

Luke Neverisky: all? All right. Well, don't get yourself killed. Whatever you do, try to stay alive when I'll I'll see you when you get

Christopher Hooper: right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'll see you soon. Okay. It's not I'm not moving across the world, you know, and I mean like, you know, there's there's nothing going on there. What am I going to get killed from?

Luke Neverisky: home. You know, just impending war.

Christopher Hooper: I'll be fine. All right.

Luke Neverisky: That's that's only thing. Um, it gets really bad. You

Christopher Hooper: I think it'll be all right. They They got a lot

Luke Neverisky: know what? If

Christopher Hooper: locked down. No one can beat elder and soldiers. You know

Luke Neverisky: I were to tell you that I do know that he has a

Christopher Hooper: that. Well, then they'll really need me. But I'll I I'll use our connections. I'll I'll find some research post. It'll be no big

Luke Neverisky: dad. No, I mean, Stephen, you're not listening. It

Christopher Hooper: deal.

Luke Neverisky: gets

Christopher Hooper: How How do you know that,

Luke Neverisky: awful. I mean, cuz I've I've been I'm from a I've I've seen it. I've lived

Christopher Hooper: Lily?

Justin Hale: I'm from the future.

Luke Neverisky: it.

Christopher Hooper: Okay. All right, Lily. Well, I'll um I'll keep my guard up and I'll look out and I'm not going to be in the forefront of

Luke Neverisky: All right. Stick to research. Stick to

Christopher Hooper: stuff, you

Luke Neverisky: medicine. Stick to something else that's not combat.

Christopher Hooper: know.

Luke Neverisky: Okay. All right.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. All right. Love you,

Luke Neverisky: I

Christopher Hooper: Lily.

Ellis Taylor: So nervous Tucker's gonna do something f***** up with a research position after

Christopher Hooper: What are you talking

Ellis Taylor: Pokemon. He's going to be some sort of

Justin Hale: Oh, I think we know exactly what

Luke Neverisky: We

Tyram: I've been racking my brains trying to think if we've attacked an

Ellis Taylor: like

Justin Hale: we're talking

Tyram: Elder Ryan research station. I don't think we

Justin Hale: about. The the

Tyram: have. Those were

Justin Hale: places that we had to blow up in that one town like

Luke Neverisky: know.

Christopher Hooper: about?

Tyram: ironclaw places. Yeah. Which

Justin Hale: bombs. Okay. Okay.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah.

Tyram: they were explicitly enemies with each other. So they shouldn't

Justin Hale: Good. Good. Toeer.

Luke Neverisky: shouldn't have

Tyram: have his brother shouldn't have been

Luke Neverisky: been

Tyram: there. I don't know.

Christopher Hooper: Um, and at this point your mom touched you on the shoulder and say, "Dear, this is where you stopped last time. The uh the next one is

Luke Neverisky: to.

Christopher Hooper: where where Stephen dies.

Ali Leonard: Freaking spoilers,

Christopher Hooper: So, we don't have to go there if you don't want

Ali Leonard: dude.

Ellis Taylor: Well, now I'm less concerned about something f***** up happening. We just know he's

Justin Hale: Hold on. So, is the theme that these things are going to get emotionally worse and worse to the point where Liliana doesn't want to keep

Luke Neverisky: Oh, is that the It's a path of

Christopher Hooper: to.

Ellis Taylor: dead.

Justin Hale: moving forward?

Luke Neverisky: awfulness and crappiness.

Ellis Taylor: This feels like Christmas Carol,

Luke Neverisky: Yeah, it does something

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, it's the Christmas Okay,

Tyram: What happens if Lily makes it to the

Luke Neverisky: with the seed that

Ellis Taylor: but she learns the love of Christmas and the spirit of

Luke Neverisky: Christmas

Tyram: end? Okay. Aside from learning to love Christmas and keep Christmas in his heart

Luke Neverisky: delivery.

Tyram: all year round, what happens if Lily makes it to the

Ellis Taylor: Christmas. And we get a

Tyram: end?

Ellis Taylor: goose.

Justin Hale: Toeer's taking Christmas in July seriously.

Ali Leonard: He's just crying. crossing things off. Like, damn it.

Christopher Hooper: now

Justin Hale: Okay.

Luke Neverisky: All

Tyram: Toeer is sick and tired

Christopher Hooper: Yeah.

Tyram: of our lack of Christmas and July festive

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. You find the love in your heart that was there all along and you're in a

Luke Neverisky: three.

Christopher Hooper: dead

Tyram: spirit.

Luke Neverisky: Perfect. Um, I'm not stopping. Nope. Uh-uh. Nope. No

Christopher Hooper: forest.

Justin Hale: Damn. You got your

Luke Neverisky: way. That's

Christopher Hooper: Okay.

Justin Hale: friends here, Lily. If things get tough, we're here. I'm just like I'm just paranoid staring at like all of the walls at this point. I'm just like my head's on a swivel. I don't I I'm

Luke Neverisky: right.

Justin Hale: like so skezed out by this

Luke Neverisky: Right.

Christopher Hooper: Um,

Ellis Taylor: Did anyone do like a religion check on the deity she mentioned? I probably should have. I'm going to

Justin Hale: place. I'm not I'm not good at

Christopher Hooper: well,

Ellis Taylor: I'm not I'm surprisingly bad at it, but I'll do

Justin Hale: that.

Christopher Hooper: You you all know you all know the deity. It's as hell S's patron that she told you about.

Ellis Taylor: it. Okay. I was curious. That wasn't I didn't remember. Okay.

Justin Hale: Oh, did did it feel like anybody else is trying to intervene though? like some sort of like cosmic

Luke Neverisky: Camera.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah.

Ellis Taylor: tier. But my bro

Tyram: Tier has not been impressive in all of our interactions with him so

Ellis Taylor: Luna, no he

Tyram: far.

Ellis Taylor: hasn't. Excuse me. He powers me. Excuse

Justin Hale: clash and

Tyram: I guess that's where 99% of his strength goes because like he hasn't done s***

Ellis Taylor: you.

Justin Hale: I'm impressed. What are you trying to

Christopher Hooper: Um, you know how hard it is to power

Tyram: otherwise.

Justin Hale: say? That's what it is. He put all of his eggs

Luke Neverisky: Huh?

Christopher Hooper: paladins and clerics? They're very OP

Tyram: I would assume not that hard

Justin Hale: in one basket. Yeah.

Luke Neverisky: Two.

Christopher Hooper: characters. They have no abilities

Tyram: since lots of people are paladins and

Justin Hale: Why else do you think she's

Christopher Hooper: outside their belief. Yeah.

Justin Hale: so old and so

Christopher Hooper: tears pumping pure purity into

Ellis Taylor: sing like

Christopher Hooper: Olivia's veins to keep her alive. Without her belief, she would have

Ellis Taylor: Luna. He's keeping me alive

Christopher Hooper: died decades

Tyram: clerics.

Ellis Taylor: at this point. I'm so I'm so old.

Justin Hale: strong? Yeah. If if Olivia

Christopher Hooper: ago.

Justin Hale: ever went oath breaker, she'd just turn to

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, she'd be a lich.

Tyram: I got seen at

Justin Hale: dust.

Luke Neverisky: Right. Right. Yeah. Yeah.

Tyram: the end of last

Christopher Hooper: Um, all right. Well, why don't we sit at the table and see what happens

Luke Neverisky: Oh,

Christopher Hooper: next? Um, as you all sit down, um, the, uh, room, um, dissolves into these

Tyram: crusade.

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: clean, uh, white walls, fluorescent lights.

Luke Neverisky: goody.

Christopher Hooper: Um you now see in front of each of you um uh each of you sits at your own desk with a paper schematics and uh like in front of you a holographic terminal uh that's running these like simulations. Um and Uh you see you see that there's a big argument happening. Um it looks like Stephen is arguing with um a ghastly gray looking figure, thin androgynous looking human. distinctly he he has tons of um major like bioforged elements uh replacing a lot of his flesh um including like an arm that is fully robotic uh including half his like skull. Um Steven's a

Justin Hale: Stephen. Oh,

Luke Neverisky: He's the real

Christopher Hooper: brother

Tyram: They were just talking about

Justin Hale: okay. I thought

Christopher Hooper: He's the

Tyram: him. Cuz I is the

Justin Hale: that was I thought that was

Ellis Taylor: Would there be an

Justin Hale: Josiah. Oh, okay. I'm I'm way off

Ellis Taylor: appropriate check to see if I recognize this creeper like a

Luke Neverisky: brother. All

Christopher Hooper: dad.

Ellis Taylor: history or would do you feel like he's kind of like a top secret being and he

Christopher Hooper: Um, yeah. Give me a history

Ellis Taylor: wouldn't be?

Tyram: dad.

Ellis Taylor: No.

Justin Hale: here.

Christopher Hooper: check. What was it?

Ellis Taylor: Nope.

Christopher Hooper: eight. Um, yeah, you're like squinting real hard at this guy. Um,

Luke Neverisky: right.

Christopher Hooper: and and this is when you hear him and he

Ellis Taylor: Eight.

[00:50:00]

Christopher Hooper: almost briefly makes eye contact with you as he then returns his gaze back to Stephen. He says, "Lieutenant Goldspring, hand over your research." And uh Steven replies, "Sir, Captain Steel, sir, I cannot share my research due to the extreme risk to human society. The harmonic alignment will generate way too much power to be possible to be used in a contain and control way. I respectfully request to destroy this research and censor any leads to it." Then I'm sorry, Steven. Now that your eyes are open, I must close them. And with that, he takes his robotic hand and drives it into Steven's skull and rips out

Luke Neverisky: Holy

Christopher Hooper: his

Ellis Taylor: Oh,

Luke Neverisky: s***.

Tyram: No, we had Yeah, we had nothing to do with

Justin Hale: Well, we didn't do

Luke Neverisky: What?

Christopher Hooper: brain.

Tyram: this one. Uh, but apparently we need to go find and kill Commander

Ellis Taylor: whoa. What was it? What did he call it? Can I I just want to write that down. What he called it?

Christopher Hooper: He

Ellis Taylor: Harmonic

Justin Hale: it.

Christopher Hooper: said um I cannot share my research due the

Tyram: Steel.

Christopher Hooper: extreme risk to human society. The harmonic alignment

Ellis Taylor: golden. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: will generate too much power uh to be possible to be contained or controlled. He requests to destroy this research and censor any leads to it. Importantly, You all are looking, you have schematics and simulation sitting at your desk. Um, and uh, the scene around you starts to dissolve. But if you want to rush, you might be able to um, capture something before the scene

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Justin Hale: Yeah,

Christopher Hooper: changes. Okay, cool. Why don't you all give me an aronic

Ellis Taylor: Yes.

Justin Hale: yeah, yeah. Commit to

Christopher Hooper: trick?

Ellis Taylor: also. Well, what did uh did um Oh, wow. I did surprisingly

Justin Hale: memory.

Ellis Taylor: well.

Justin Hale: Awful. I

Christopher Hooper: 23. Nerd

Tyram: Hell yeah. That's the nerd we needed right

Justin Hale: got

Ali Leonard: 23. I finally got up from the

Tyram: now. The

Ellis Taylor: 14. What did he call him? Did uh did Stephen

Luke Neverisky: No, steal.

Ali Leonard: ground.

Christopher Hooper: power. Captain

Tyram: bad guy's commander Steel, right?

Ellis Taylor: did Stephen use a name? Commander

Luke Neverisky: Um, rather than

Tyram: Captain Steel. Okay.

Ellis Taylor: Steel. Captain

Justin Hale: there. Happens

Luke Neverisky: um rather than trying to study the schematics, I'm going to try I'm going to cast

Justin Hale: still.

Luke Neverisky: frostbite on steel if

Christopher Hooper: Steel.

Luke Neverisky: possible. Can I cast

Christopher Hooper: Okay. Um, yeah,

Ellis Taylor: Steel.

Luke Neverisky: spells? All right, Captain Steel, give me a con save 17. Uh, can't

Christopher Hooper: sure. Uh, that's a spell,

Luke Neverisky: trip. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: right? Okay. Um, he counter spells it, walks over you, and rips out your

Luke Neverisky: Holy.

Ellis Taylor: Oh

Christopher Hooper: heart.

Tyram: Can any of us stop

Ellis Taylor: lord.

Christopher Hooper: Um, um,

Tyram: him from doing that?

Christopher Hooper: what what were the Let's resolve these arcana texts real

Luke Neverisky: Well. All right, let's do that,

Christopher Hooper: quick.

Justin Hale: Yeah, that's more

Luke Neverisky: please.

Christopher Hooper: Um, as as

Tyram: Or

Justin Hale: important.

Christopher Hooper: you look over to Helisana, you see um that he almost like a phantom fades out of his body. Uh, as Helisana, you kind of leave the like body that you were in that was killed. Um, and you feel okay as but you're jettisoned from the scene basically. Um, and all of you kind of see this his phantom like fade out from the the room in the scene that you're seeing. Um, brew

Luke Neverisky: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: your only plus eight. Oh, it's plus eight. Okay, I guess it's reasonable. Um, all right. Uh, the only one who beat A15, I believe, was Ellswith. Is that right? Um he uh so um

Ellis Taylor: Mm-m.

Christopher Hooper: Ellswith you um you got a 23, so you beat the 20 as well. You start looking at the schematics. Um you quickly dial over um and are able to find what uh Lieutenant Goldspring's project

Ali Leonard: I hacked the system.

Christopher Hooper: was and you you hack the

Ali Leonard: Hacked the main frame. Yeah,

Christopher Hooper: system by navigating to his

Ali Leonard: great. I mean, that's his fault for making it easy, but I did hack

Christopher Hooper: folder. Yeah. Um, I mean your colleagues, you know, whatever. But you hacked it. No,

Ali Leonard: it. I hacked

Christopher Hooper: no, no. You hacked it. Sorry. You hacked

Tyram: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. This is like straight

Ali Leonard: it.

Tyram: up evil Nazi science s***. Don't Don't force

Ali Leonard: Nobody here did it.

Christopher Hooper: it.

Tyram: that upon Ellmith here. She's a racist, not an evil

Ali Leonard: Yeah, I hacked it for

Tyram: Nazi science

Christopher Hooper: Um, so you pick up

Ali Leonard: good.

Christopher Hooper: it appears that um that what you

Tyram: person.

Christopher Hooper: now know as the the like space weapon thing um is built with this technology that basically needs like significant attunement across multiple energy sources and actually follows principles of music. Um, and so basically you need to kind of like build this like multi-layered um like harmonizing of uh like multi-frequency energy and um it seems like uh they were trying to basically figure out how to build like fision nuclear power our equivalency. Um, but you're guessing that they might have adapted this to be like, well, we can't contain it, but we might be able to direct it. And um, likely the uh, source of the technology for their

Ali Leonard: I'm so glad Elizabeth understands that she's a real

Christopher Hooper: weapon. Yeah, she's a real

Luke Neverisky: Well, definitely

Ali Leonard: one. Definitely not a Nazi scientist

Christopher Hooper: one. Definitely not a Nazi scientist, though.

Luke Neverisky: not. That's on the

Ali Leonard: and I need you guys to get that out of your head.

Christopher Hooper: Um, and with that, uh, I'm going to take a quick break as I tell, um, Astra good night. And, um, what one of the, um, researchers next to you

Luke Neverisky: record.

Christopher Hooper: says, "Yeah, that's a really f***** up guy. I can't wait till we get to the next scene." Oh s***, the next one is a funeral. Well, all right. We'll see you in a second.

Tyram: Well, I hope it's not an open casket funeral because his his brain

Ellis Taylor: Cool.

Luke Neverisky: Yikes.

Tyram: was thrown out.

Ellis Taylor: Buddy, just cast minor illusion. It's fine. Everything's

Luke Neverisky: Yeah, I'll be

Ellis Taylor: fine.

Luke Neverisky: back.

[01:00:52]

Ellis Taylor: Yeah, we'll get

Christopher Hooper: I've returned, but it looks like a bio break time, which is also good. Good time

Luke Neverisky: Dude.

Christopher Hooper: pray, are you enjoying your

Luke Neverisky: Oh

Christopher Hooper: flashbacks? Uh,

Luke Neverisky: yeah, like a good

Christopher Hooper: Luke

Luke Neverisky: flashback. That was not

Tyram: Did you already know a lot of this or are you finding

Luke Neverisky: expect um I'm I'm right along

Tyram: it out with

Luke Neverisky: with you guys on these memories.

Tyram: us?

Luke Neverisky: Yep. Was not expecting the uh Emperor Palpatine to do the

Tyram: Huh?

Luke Neverisky: thing.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, you got to have an Emperor Palpatine if you're going to have a Death

Ellis Taylor: Oh,

Luke Neverisky: Yeah, that's right. We already blew up one of the moons,

Christopher Hooper: Star.

Luke Neverisky: right?

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. Does that happen in Empire Strikes

Ellis Taylor: it's also blow up it again in the new movies. I feel like they should keep blowing up

Luke Neverisky: Yes. When will they

Christopher Hooper: Back?

Ellis Taylor: super weapons like Empire. I know

Luke Neverisky: learn?

Tyram: I'm really sick of all like

Ellis Taylor: they really need to work on a different

Tyram: the evil Nazi science they got going on. They got like a literal moon laser. Now they're doing like a a music bomb or something like

Ellis Taylor: strategy. I think the the music bomb is the

Tyram: that. Oh, okay.

Ellis Taylor: moon laser. At least that's what I

Christopher Hooper: Music

Ellis Taylor: understood.

Justin Hale: Are we talking about Star

Christopher Hooper: bomb. Yeah, this is this has nothing to do with Star Wars. None of this has anything to do with Star Wars. I don't know why yall are making that

Justin Hale: Wars?

Christopher Hooper: comparison. I've never seen that movie in my life.

Ellis Taylor: This is not the comparison you're looking

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

Ellis Taylor: for.

Justin Hale: I'm not caught up on Star Wars lore,

Christopher Hooper: Well,

Justin Hale: so I'm not So,

Christopher Hooper: um, have you heard of the Death

Tyram: Okay. I knew you were I knew you didn't know about Avatar and you didn't know about Firefly. Have you never seen Star

Ellis Taylor: Yeah, I'm very close to revoking your nerd

Justin Hale: No, no, no, no. I've seen one through six. I

Luke Neverisky: Okay. Yeah, I'm with you on

Tyram: Wars? Okay.

Justin Hale: haven't seen any of the new

Tyram: I like the new stuff better than most people

Luke Neverisky: that. Oh,

Christopher Hooper: Star?

Tyram: seem to, but I think the prequels are

Ellis Taylor: card.

Justin Hale: stuff.

Luke Neverisky: one, two, and

Tyram: trash. Well, three is okay, but like one and two are just

Christopher Hooper: Oh, I

Tyram: straight up bad

Justin Hale: All

Christopher Hooper: think I think one is fun

Ellis Taylor: Yeah, once we

Luke Neverisky: three.

Christopher Hooper: though.

Ellis Taylor: watched it with Ted and it was actually really fun. Like I think it's made for

Tyram: movies. It very much is. Like my biggest problem with one is

Ellis Taylor: children more

Tyram: they spend the whole time, like 90% of the movie going to the

Justin Hale: right.

Tyram: Galactic Senate to ask for backup. The Galactic Senate is basically like, "No, we're not going to help you." And then they just go back to the planet and just take care of it

Christopher Hooper: Yeah.

Tyram: themselves. So it's like, why didn't you just do that the whole time?

Christopher Hooper: Yeah.

Tyram: You know, like nothing changed. You have no allies. You there's no there's nothing military situation changed at all

Ellis Taylor: so because it's not their job to

Tyram: between the beginning and the end of the movie.

Ellis Taylor: be well no it's because it's not their job to be the

Tyram: It's their own planet.

Ellis Taylor: Galactic Police. It's not their

Tyram: The Naboo people

Ellis Taylor: job. Well, no, the Naboo did, but like the Jedi for basically

Tyram: like like Goon

Ellis Taylor: got forced to tag along and then they're really the ones that solved

Tyram: and Sure, but they were there with him at the beginning of the movie too and

Ellis Taylor: everything. Also, they didn't have

Tyram: like they were there

Ellis Taylor: the whatever Jar Binks' race was on their side

Tyram: on Naboo. I mean, what changed between Well,

Ellis Taylor: yet. They were there, but they were like basically enemies like

Christopher Hooper: Done.

Tyram: they went and talked to them. If they went and talked to them and got them on their side

Ellis Taylor: through them going back and

Tyram: at the end of the movie, I don't see what change where they couldn't have just done that at the beginning of the

Ellis Taylor: forth. Well, Jar became like their kind of like gobetween

Christopher Hooper: Done.

Tyram: movie. They had Jar

Ellis Taylor: like Jar. Yeah, Jar. But he wasn't like a true friend and part of the crew yet. Like there should have been a little bit more of

Tyram: Jar. So now

Ellis Taylor: like Jaror trusting them instead of instantly like, "Oh my god, I love

Tyram: you're just putting things in the movie that weren't there because Jar Jar never like proved

Ellis Taylor: you.

Tyram: himself at any point in the movie.

Ellis Taylor: I know. I know. But like I feel like maybe that's what they're going

Tyram: Okay, so that's the thing though. There's a lot of good ideas, especially in the

Ellis Taylor: for and they lost

Tyram: third movie. Like, if you just put right down like the plot beats of the third movie, it's great, but they execute it really, really badly

Ellis Taylor: it.

Christopher Hooper: I wish there was like a

Justin Hale: I was there for one reason

Christopher Hooper: jar. What' you say,

Justin Hale: only. I was there for one reason

Ellis Taylor: Mhm.

Justin Hale: only. I loved the the Anakin Skywalker story of the

Tyram: throughout.

Justin Hale: prequel so much that uh I bought the book that they made about

Christopher Hooper: Justin?

Justin Hale: it, the rise and fall of Darth Vader. And it's like all from his perspective of

Ellis Taylor: Glad

Justin Hale: like trying to save

Christopher Hooper: Interesting. I want an indoor style

Ellis Taylor: me.

Christopher Hooper: uh like adaption of Jar Jar

Justin Hale: uh

Christopher Hooper: Bank's

Ellis Taylor: Yeah, I love the fan theory that Jar Brinks

Christopher Hooper: story. Mhm.

Ellis Taylor: is actually a Sith Lord and He was manipulating them the whole

Luke Neverisky: What?

Christopher Hooper: Mhm. It's my

Ellis Taylor: time. I love

Justin Hale: That's

Luke Neverisky: That's

Christopher Hooper: favorite. Yeah. It's It

Ellis Taylor: that.

Christopher Hooper: makes it, you know, I feel like there's a retelling that would that would be like crazy. That's what I if I were

Justin Hale: crazy.

Christopher Hooper: DMing and like that was the

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: backstory then then that's what I would do.

Ellis Taylor: Mhm. I'd be very

Christopher Hooper: Yeah.

Ellis Taylor: happy. Yeah. Are you guys excited for the

Tyram: I don't know much about

Ellis Taylor: Star Wars anime that's coming

Luke Neverisky: I got

Christopher Hooper: Star Wars

Ellis Taylor: out? It's called like the ninth Jedi. I know nothing about the plot, but it looks beautiful and it looks like really cool action sequences. Like I feel like Star Wars should have been anime the whole time. Like it would have

Justin Hale: I mean, the 3D stuff for the Clone

Luke Neverisky: it.

Tyram: it.

Ellis Taylor: been

Justin Hale: Wars was it went

Christopher Hooper: anime. Um, cool. We ready for

Ellis Taylor: Mhm.

Justin Hale: hard.

Luke Neverisky: second. Am I all the way

Tyram: holding

Luke Neverisky: up?

Christopher Hooper: Liliana, you seem okay, right? You just got

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. I mean, I

Tyram: up?

Ellis Taylor: Lily. I

Justin Hale: She back in

Luke Neverisky: just Oh, so do I remember

Christopher Hooper: healed.

Ellis Taylor: think you mean emotionally.

Justin Hale: The signal

Luke Neverisky: like

Christopher Hooper: Oh, yeah. I'm gonna I'm gonna roll some damage for you. Um,

Ellis Taylor: and Clappy on the back and be

Justin Hale: a matrix brain aneurism at the end of this.

Luke Neverisky: What is real? I just

Christopher Hooper: damage.

Tyram: right. I don't know if Silus

Ellis Taylor: like

Tyram: is the guy to like be the emotional support person here, but like I feel

Ellis Taylor: Shi, do you need a

Luke Neverisky: died. That's a

Tyram: like

Ellis Taylor: check in before we go to your brother's

Luke Neverisky: sentence.

Ellis Taylor: funeral?

Justin Hale: season. It is one hell of a sentence, isn't

Tyram: Yeah.

Ellis Taylor: this How much of this do you remember? Or is it kind of like you're remembering as we go

Luke Neverisky: it? It's like, you know, when

Ellis Taylor: through

Luke Neverisky: you like someone jogs your memory about something and then you're like, "Oh, right. I remember it." It's It's like that. Um

Ellis Taylor: it?

Luke Neverisky: without the whole me dying bit there. That was scary. Um no, we're gonna do this. Well, if I

Ellis Taylor: Okay. Yeah, that was your own fault,

Luke Neverisky: mean, you know. Yeah, I know. But murdered my

Ellis Taylor: sweetie.

Luke Neverisky: brother. Um,

Tyram: Well, I'm starting to understand you a bit better Yeah. I think Lily, I'm going to be honest with you. Pelisano was a huge b****. Like Elisana was like the rudest, most selfish person I've ever met. But maybe that was like your coping mechanism, you know? Like you need you wanted to become somebody hard, someone who wouldn't get hurt emotionally like

Luke Neverisky: Well, yeah. I mean,

Tyram: apparently you have

Luke Neverisky: and you know, I was totally different afterwards. And that's

Tyram: been.

Luke Neverisky: um that's why I left. I mean, it was it was just hard being me as I was after all

Tyram: After having spent a good amount of time with both of you, this is the

Luke Neverisky: that. Oh,

Tyram: version I prefer. I think you need to get through

Luke Neverisky: good. All right. All

Tyram: this,

Luke Neverisky: right. Can do this. All right. Let's go

Tyram: Lily.

Luke Neverisky: Yay.

[01:10:52]

Christopher Hooper: uh you recognize this as the uh military sim cemetery. Uh you're sitting beside uh your dad and your mom's on the other side. The rest of you are the row behind. Um, your dad leans over and says, "Uh, this is s***** timing, but um, got you your birthday card." And he, uh, passes you an your envelope. Um, and at this point, uh, at this point, um, you all see an Eldorian cleric has just finished her sermon. And they say, "Captain Steel, please profer the will of Lieutenant Steven Goldspring." and you see that same lean gray metal being stand up at the podium and and say this is the will and testament to Leiana Goldspring he bequeathed his Cooper electric guitar to his parents he left everything us. And thus ends the service. May we keep Steven alive through his

Luke Neverisky: Um, I'm going to like hit my or I'm going to tap my uh dad. That was the guy

Luke Neverisky: right. Well, let's go get his stuff then, I guess.

Christopher Hooper: What? Uh, and um you walk up and there's like a chest, but um there's a guitar case opened. Um and like given its own like pedestal. Um, and inside you see is that same um, Blue Moon uh, guitar in its case. Um, and yeah, you reach for it and it it's real. It

Christopher Hooper: fun.

Ellis Taylor: sweetie.

Luke Neverisky: like my family and where hell was created. I mean, that's that's

Justin Hale: You're

Luke Neverisky: that's um it's all rushing to the forefront now. It's um it's quite a trip, I'll tell you. But I

Christopher Hooper: Oh,

Tyram: here?

Christopher Hooper: Lily, you did not make it this far. You turned you turned off the

Luke Neverisky: don't

Christopher Hooper: path at the death scene. Remember? You You didn't see that. So, that's what you like went off the

Luke Neverisky: That's

Tyram: we've I guess we're in for a penny and for a pound at this point.

Justin Hale: Hey, so real quick, um, we've held on to this world seat for a long time and had had no idea what to do with it up until this point. This feels like a pretty good place for it to

Luke Neverisky: right. Yeah. I

Tyram: I

Justin Hale: exist. What are we What are we thinking

Luke Neverisky: mean

Tyram: mean, do we want more of this place to exist with the world seed like kind of anchor this hell dimension in

Justin Hale: there? I'm wondering

Luke Neverisky: What if I make?

Justin Hale: if I'm wondering if it will do the opposite. I'm wondering if it will

Tyram: place? I have no idea. I don't This is

Justin Hale: heal

Luke Neverisky: Yeah, I'll tell you later

Tyram: all outside of my

Justin Hale: it. We, if I remember correctly, we were told to plant it since the world's tree was dying. And I feel like there was a hint that if we planted it

Luke Neverisky: that it's

Justin Hale: on our world, it would destroy the world. So

Luke Neverisky: true.

Ellis Taylor: What

Justin Hale: like yolo here,

Luke Neverisky: Yeah, who

Tyram: that we know about it now.

Ellis Taylor: seed? Okay. Okay.

Justin Hale: that. Yeah, that's about

Christopher Hooper: know, uh, you saw a world tree before. Um, I guess probably two. Um, so you saw the one that like um tied the dimensions together in the through the cave portal and then you saw the world

Justin Hale: it.

Christopher Hooper: tree that was like the only thing connecting like uh a shattered world together. They were connected by branches of a tree. And so you were given it as

Ellis Taylor: Mhm. Okay.

Justin Hale: And that's where we

Christopher Hooper: like a gift to try to potentially be a way to, you know, if your world is being destroyed and shattered in some magical way, might be able to keep it

Ellis Taylor: Okay, I feel like we should hang on to

Justin Hale: got. Oh, I thought we were given instruction to plant

Christopher Hooper: together.

Luke Neverisky: want to I guess motion for strain to lead

Christopher Hooper: doing? Yes. So, uh normally I stop and then I usually uh tend to

Ellis Taylor: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: my garden, but nothing grows here. So, I just pretend that and I collect the bones of the phantom dogs and I turn them into little garden beds and I you make little puppets from their skulls and I talk to them all through the day. Oh, here we are. Yes, this is a dead forest. Yeah. So, um normally

Ellis Taylor: That

Christopher Hooper: people wander through here and um I never see them again. So, uh I guess you could do that. But, uh if you want, I'd love for you to plant some seeds. Maybe tomato seeds

Luke Neverisky: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: I can use for my dog

Ellis Taylor: Nice. Yes, hunt.

Christopher Hooper: garden.

Ellis Taylor: Here, you know what? Here, take I pick out like a handful of cherry tomatoes. Let's cut these up. Take out the seeds. Dry them out. And then I want you to soak Soak them in water until you get a nice

Tyram: I don't know that we have time for all that. Liv, there's a

Ellis Taylor: little mold on top. It's going to break down the sea coat.

Christopher Hooper: Oh, holy s***. This will take

Tyram: demon dog right behind

Ellis Taylor: I'm telling her to do it while we're gone. I'm giving her instructions on to

Christopher Hooper: now.

Ellis Taylor: us.

Justin Hale: seeds or some sort of plant life to begin with, right? In order for those things to work, it just comes out of

Luke Neverisky: Yeah.

Tyram: Hey, I have turned over a new leaf. I'm I'm a I'm a growing person, and I'm not going to have you label me a serial killer.

Justin Hale: right.

Luke Neverisky: with the name like dead forest. That kind of makes sense.

Ali Leonard: That

Christopher Hooper: out

Ali Leonard: makes sense.

Tyram: guys. I officially want to stop talking to

Ali Leonard: I guess we got to keep

Luke Neverisky: guess that is true. All right.

Ali Leonard: moving. It's going to get

Tyram: dog. Yeah, let's go. Let's

Luke Neverisky: Go into the

Ali Leonard: us.

Christopher Hooper: Um you you see

Tyram: go.

Christopher Hooper: that so what's around you are. It's um it's circular in nature and

Justin Hale: distance.

Christopher Hooper: basically uh there's kind of like almost a

Luke Neverisky: horse.

Christopher Hooper: moat of swamp land. And uh you now see that the the roots, tentacles, things that have kind of been intertwined and stuff are kind of collecting into the circle. Um, and there's a path that kind of breaks the moat and it goes down into this circle. The circle is probably a mile wide. Um, as you're walking through, um, you begin to see that there are these these like old trees that have since like broken and died off and um it begins to clutter clutter all around you, but there's still a clear path that that works its way through. Uh you see it looks like people have like laid logs and stuff along the path and kept it clear. And uh you keep walking and you see where there is a hole and um you see various twig tints and um you you almost come into like village campsite type of area. Um where you kind of see structure made from this dead wood. Um um anyone's anyone who wants to give me a perception

Justin Hale: Yeah, I I'm also interested in rating some of these

Christopher Hooper: check.

Tyram: Mhm. Uh

Luke Neverisky: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: Cool.

Justin Hale: tents. Double 11 for 21.

Christopher Hooper: Double number 21 19. Okay. Um so we'll do some tents first. Um you uh you look around and in the

Tyram: 19

Christopher Hooper: tents um you see like dried up skeletons usually on some sort of cot. Um there are bags and things left behind. Uh and you search through them, you see one that uh um is there anything that you're looking for in particular?

Justin Hale: just s*** that I can make dumb stuff

Christopher Hooper: Okay. Um, you see

Justin Hale: out

Christopher Hooper: someone has like a box of razor blades. Um, and no shaving kit, just a box of razor blades in their backpack. Um, Silus,

Justin Hale: of.

Christopher Hooper: uh, with that as you're looking around, you

Justin Hale: Cool.

Christopher Hooper: see you you catch movement out of the peripheral. um just like just on the edge of camp. Um they seem you you just catch like someone running from the the campsite basically into the

Luke Neverisky: There we

Christopher Hooper: forest.

Tyram: Well s***, they're about to get eaten by that

Justin Hale: Oh, wait. We have

Tyram: dog. Let's

Justin Hale: bone. We can

Tyram: just make it a bone. I I remember

Justin Hale: we can throw bone.

Tyram: having a bone, but I don't remember where we got it

Ellis Taylor: She gave it to us cuz I

Justin Hale: Huh? Didn't the

Luke Neverisky: go.

Tyram: from. Okay.

Ellis Taylor: gave her snacks and it's going to keep the dogs

Tyram: Okay. That's right.

Ellis Taylor: away for a while.

Justin Hale: lady if we don't want that person to get eaten, we can throw the bone to

Christopher Hooper: Um,

Tyram: I mean, do we know this person. We might need to bone

Justin Hale: the dog.

Ellis Taylor: We could chase after

Tyram: ourselves. We're not supposed to leave

Ellis Taylor: them and find them. Or we could just keep exploring the

Luke Neverisky: It's

Tyram: the

Justin Hale: It does seem weird to touch

Luke Neverisky: true. Does seem weird. That almost seems worthwhile finding

Justin Hale: somebody else out here

Luke Neverisky: out.

Tyram: path. I guess there's more than one way to get in here, you

Ellis Taylor: village.

Justin Hale: though. Can I try and at least

Tyram: know.

Justin Hale: like catch up to get a glimpse of them? without like going off too

Christopher Hooper: Um yeah, so this points you in their direction. Um you start running into the forest after them. Um yeah, go ahead and give

Tyram: the way. Are you going in the forest after

Christopher Hooper: me

Tyram: them?

Justin Hale: far. I was I was just going to go as far as I could without like getting lost to see if I could just get uh like a profile

Tyram: I'm not sure you can go any amount of distance without getting

Justin Hale: on

Tyram: lost. We were given

Justin Hale: Okay,

Tyram: one explicit instruction

Justin Hale: fine. I'm gonna I'm gonna stay within eyesot

Tyram: here. No, don't leave the path. Don't go into the

Justin Hale: of the group. How about

Justin Hale: right. All right.

Luke Neverisky: Um, wait. Can

Tyram: people and all that crap.

Justin Hale: What are you

Christopher Hooper: the village is this this circle. Um, it smells really bad. Um, like like stale

Justin Hale: doing?

Ellis Taylor: Is it a purposeful circle or is it a circle just cuz they all pee in

Christopher Hooper: purposeful circle. Uh you see it lined with

Ellis Taylor: spot?

Christopher Hooper: um stones. Uh they have runic symbols on them. Um but inside is like dirt. Just

Luke Neverisky: Anything um

Christopher Hooper: dirt that smells like

Justin Hale: Cool.

Luke Neverisky: anything familiar about the

Christopher Hooper: pee.

Luke Neverisky: symbols? I know

Christopher Hooper: Um what languages do you know?

Luke Neverisky: common sign and no why picks

Christopher Hooper: Um, they look a little

Justin Hale: What?

Luke Neverisky: no. Okay.

Christopher Hooper: numbish.

Luke Neverisky: Uh well try to read

Christopher Hooper: Um, I I don't think I don't think you can decipher

Luke Neverisky: it.

Christopher Hooper: it, but you can tell that it is similar to

Luke Neverisky: Okay. Um nobody else here knows no fish

Justin Hale: Nope. Elvish

Christopher Hooper: Nish, you know,

Ellis Taylor: only. No,

Justin Hale: and

Luke Neverisky: is

Christopher Hooper: Elish. It looks a little

Ellis Taylor: I know Elvish.

Justin Hale: Goblin. Yeah, I'm assuming we can't read

Christopher Hooper: Elvish.

Ellis Taylor: Does it look like someone blended the two

Justin Hale: it either.

Christopher Hooper: No.

Ellis Taylor: languages together to make it

Christopher Hooper: Um, anyone wants to I think maybe an insight

Justin Hale: Does it look like a dead language? Is that what we're seeing

Luke Neverisky: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: here.

Ellis Taylor: confusing? I can't get through my thingies. You guys are rolling on top of

Luke Neverisky: That's

Ellis Taylor: it. Eight. Yay.

Christopher Hooper: That's exactly right, Justin. Um,

Justin Hale: here?

Christopher Hooper: and it looks like this is um some sort of language that is older than Elish or Nomish. Um, an old language of the forest. Um, you

Tyram: Why?

Luke Neverisky: fine.

Christopher Hooper: you the nomish, Elvish. And with those um checks, you kind of piece together that this is some sort of like older than society type of language that um details like is is is uh comes from lines that have strong connections to the fay and to um nature

Luke Neverisky: All

Christopher Hooper: itself.

Justin Hale: Um, does any of it like match any sort of root words? Can we get like any sort of semblance of what any of it means at

Christopher Hooper: Um you let's see what were those what were those uh totals for

Justin Hale: all?

Luke Neverisky: right. I think we got a

Christopher Hooper: insight

Justin Hale: 18. Silus got

Ellis Taylor: H I can talk to Bob tele telepathically, but I'm going to assume he can't

Justin Hale: 20. That would

Luke Neverisky: It

Christopher Hooper: there.

Ellis Taylor: read

Justin Hale: be amazing if like it says this. What are you

Luke Neverisky: says peace circle. What do you guys

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, with that 20 uh for Liliana, I'm going to say that

Justin Hale: guys

Christopher Hooper: you gather it. It talks about a uh the base of a tree

Luke Neverisky: want? H base

Christopher Hooper: of

Luke Neverisky: of a tree of life. World seed

[01:50:52]

Christopher Hooper: life.

Luke Neverisky: sounds pretty promising,

Ellis Taylor: like Yeah, I think that seems more intense

Justin Hale: Nice. Sounds like the world's

Luke Neverisky: right? Better than a tomato anyway, right?

Ellis Taylor: than a tomato. Yeah. Yeah. And we

Justin Hale: been to me.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Put both in,

Ellis Taylor: could try both. It's not going to really

Luke Neverisky: right? Worst

Tyram: I think the tomato like summons an arch fiend or

Ellis Taylor: hurt.

Justin Hale: We just make

Luke Neverisky: case. Yeah.

Tyram: something.

Justin Hale: a Wait. We just create a world tree that all of the

Luke Neverisky: That's

Ellis Taylor: It just like keeps

Justin Hale: the sentient beings are made out of tomatoes

Tyram: Yeah, but it does sound like World Tree is the way to go

Ellis Taylor: producing to

Luke Neverisky: exactly worst case is we get a world tree

Tyram: if it got explicitly mentioned

Luke Neverisky: and some tomatoes

Justin Hale: instead or tomato

Luke Neverisky: or tomato people. That

Justin Hale: people. That would be pretty

Luke Neverisky: would be pretty great.

Christopher Hooper: Hey, thank

Tyram: here.

Justin Hale: crazy. Let's throw a potato in there for fun. Maybe we'll just get a whole

Luke Neverisky: Actually,

Ellis Taylor: me.

Justin Hale: bunch of vegetable people.

Luke Neverisky: tomato is a

Ellis Taylor: Oh

Christopher Hooper: you.

Ellis Taylor: man, now I really regret taking the seeds out of the apple

Luke Neverisky: fruit. All right. Well, let's um let's get that let's get that seed, I guess. Um how does they just reach in the peepphole and get it?

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, I think

Ellis Taylor: slices.

Justin Hale: Dang. Yeah, but make sure you reach in the pee hole bag, not the pee hole in

Luke Neverisky: an important

Christopher Hooper: so.

Justin Hale: the

Christopher Hooper: A perfect

Tyram: Thank goodness you

Ellis Taylor: I honestly thought you were talking about reaching into the dirt and I was

Luke Neverisky: distinction. Oh,

Tyram: specified.

Justin Hale: ground. I mean, one of us is going to have

Christopher Hooper: alignment.

Justin Hale: to. I assumed it would be

Luke Neverisky: right.

Ellis Taylor: like maybe we can use the Elizabeth Ziploc bag as like a

Justin Hale: me.

Luke Neverisky: Oh,

Ellis Taylor: makeshift glove.

Luke Neverisky: yeah. I think we need to pick up dog.

Christopher Hooper: This

Luke Neverisky: Um, all

Justin Hale: All right. I'll um I'll pull out the It's like a burlap covering on it and I'll hand it to

Luke Neverisky: right. All

Ellis Taylor: I'll hand her a cherry

Luke Neverisky: right. on both end. Um, I was kind of

Christopher Hooper: is

Justin Hale: Liliana. Just

Luke Neverisky: like,

Ellis Taylor: tomato.

Justin Hale: awkwardly put a little potato in your hand just to make it

Luke Neverisky: and don't forget the potato. Um, all right. I guess I'll like kick some of the dirt with my foot kind of to the hole and then drop them in and cover

Christopher Hooper: Okay. All right. Um, as you

Luke Neverisky: it.

Christopher Hooper: cover it slowly at first, but then with uh increasing rapidity, it sprouts. First, a small sprout, and then it grows and grows and grows, sending a shoot straight up very quickly. And then all those roots that were around you before begin to converge on it. And at first, um, you kind of see like red lightning going down those those those roots and into the seed and up the stem. And you almost hear like wood splintering, cracking, but then it the uh now tree begins to grow violently. Uh-huh. uh aggressively. Um you all need now like have to start moving outward as this the trunk of the tree grows grows grows very very quickly. Um, at this point, Spreadona says, "I see your suckers later." And she

Justin Hale: You're still

Christopher Hooper: uh grabs onto a tree branch and and begins to

Tyram: Damn, I forgot he was here.

Christopher Hooper: ride it up. Uh, the tree as it's growing outward.

Ellis Taylor: Good

Christopher Hooper: Um, uh,

Justin Hale: here. Stitch. We doing the same thing,

Christopher Hooper: bends

Tyram: Yeah. I I guess we I could just climb it if you guys want to get in the portable

Justin Hale: guys.

Tyram: hole.

Justin Hale: That's all right. That's fair

Christopher Hooper: Ben says, "Ah

Ellis Taylor: night. Good

Christopher Hooper: s***." And he starts trying to scramble up, too. Um, all right. Y'all are y'all are climbing

Tyram: I don't know if we should let Jen out. In fact, I'm pretty

Luke Neverisky: That's

Tyram: sure we should not have let Straona out. Confirmed

Ellis Taylor: night. Yeah, but we just got to

Justin Hale: enough.

Luke Neverisky: That's That's collateral damage.

Tyram: serial killer. All

Ellis Taylor: get out. Let's go,

Christopher Hooper: up.

Tyram: right, I spider climbed my way up the

Christopher Hooper: Um you're going up and

Tyram: tree.

Christopher Hooper: uh you see um as you're going up the tree is breaking apart the cloud cover and it's

Luke Neverisky: That's

Christopher Hooper: beautiful like blue sunny sky above.

Ellis Taylor: Silus.

Christopher Hooper: Um and it's like shooting out branches, leaves at this point. Um, and at a certain point you hit a like wall in the sky, almost like a a ceiling made of earth, and the tree is like forcing its way through. Um, and you start to ride that um, all three of you as you are forcing your way through this like earthn ceiling. And uh you're able to tuck into like kind of a little uh like under a branch basically as it's uh shooting through and eventually it finally breaks through and you appear. Um, it's like a and you uh pop into a park and uh the top of this like thing tree you're riding just looks like a normalsized tree in this park. Um, and uh, it's growing a little bit. Uh, and then it just kind of settles down and, uh, you're there. Uh, Stragona hops off and and scurries, uh, into the park. Uh, you see couples uh, with their dogs walking around. Uh, Ben Gun rushes up the one and say, "You got me food." And they're like, "Oh, Oh, get away from me. Um, and uh you see around you um people are playing Frisbee. Um a a game where they kick a ball with their feet. Um and it's a beautiful sunny

Tyram: Do you mean like hawker or

Christopher Hooper: day. Soccer.

Tyram: hacky sack?

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, I I get the confusion.

Ellis Taylor: But

Christopher Hooper: Um, that's right. You don't know

Ellis Taylor: we don't know what soccer

Ali Leonard: But we know what Frisbee

Christopher Hooper: what soccer is. Yeah, of course you know what Frisbee is. That's

Tyram: Okay. Don't be a

Ellis Taylor: is. Yeah.

Tyram: fool, Ally.

Justin Hale: Frisbee is universal in every

Luke Neverisky: Yeah.

Ali Leonard: is. Oh my god.

Tyram: But okay, wait though. If we see people seeing a playing a sport that we do not recognize, can we surmise that we

Justin Hale: world.

Christopher Hooper: Grecian.

Tyram: are not back in our own

Christopher Hooper: No, I don't think

Tyram: world? Oh,

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Yeah, could

Ali Leonard: It could be like a rich person thing.

Christopher Hooper: so. Just a different culture. Yeah, I think I think I think Liliana knows what soccer

Tyram: okay.

Luke Neverisky: be. Yeah, soccer you you play with your feet, kick the ball into the net. You never play

Ellis Taylor: Do we just cheat code our way into the

Luke Neverisky: that. And

Ali Leonard: You El Dorans are crazy.

Christopher Hooper: is.

Luke Neverisky: we whatever pass time, you know, it's it's fun. It can be fun. It's a little slow for my liking.

Tyram: I want to try to look around the

Ellis Taylor: capital?

Justin Hale: So you play this ball with your feet. You call

Tyram: area a bit more. Like, can we see like what's beyond the park? Like, get an

Justin Hale: it soccer.

Tyram: idea of where we are.

Ellis Taylor: Lily, Lily, Lily, are we in Aldora's

Luke Neverisky: Do I recognize this

Christopher Hooper: Um, I would make you roll, but you're right on,

Luke Neverisky: face?

Christopher Hooper: Ellis. It looks like you're in Eldor's

Ellis Taylor: capital?

Luke Neverisky: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: capital. You can tell by all the like white s*** and gold s*** all around.

Luke Neverisky: We do like our white ship and gold

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, it looks like you're in quite a a nice like fancy

Tyram: I'm just imagining there's like a rich lady over like a property like I want you to put more white and

Luke Neverisky: s***.

Tyram: gold s*** all over my

Ellis Taylor: Mhm.

Christopher Hooper: park. Exactly.

Tyram: property.

Christopher Hooper: Um yeah uh I mean to to you all um it is um you see like what we know as like hovercraft um like flying above the skyline um skyscraper to skyscraper um you see that there are um like glowing lamps posts um that well lit the the streets as it it's starting to get dark. You're about sunset right now. Um the the clothes, the technology, the architecture is unlike anything you've seen in any of your your other cities. Um it is uh it is to a whole other level of like technological ability. um the like the fabrics um shimmer and adapt and

Justin Hale: It's

[02:00:52]

Christopher Hooper: change as they hit the sunlight um in different lights and it looks like people can at will change them. Um they uh you see people like um you see people like pause as one of their like eyes glows like a red

Justin Hale: okay.

Christopher Hooper: um and they like resume the conversation that they're having. Um, and there seems to be a lot more of those like drones flying around that you saw from the the

Luke Neverisky: All

Christopher Hooper: rich guys uh like TV

Tyram: Silus is going to take out his hat of disguise and try to mimic what he sees other people wearing. And he'll think of the other like blend in, blend in, blend

Ellis Taylor: Yeah, I'm going to do the same

Christopher Hooper: show. Um, cool. What do you all look

Tyram: in.

Luke Neverisky: right.

Christopher Hooper: like?

Tyram: Um, Eldoran Elderan is mostly

Justin Hale: Okay.

Tyram: humans and like are there halflings around? Would it be weird for me to just be a

Ellis Taylor: thing. Now, there's a mix of

Christopher Hooper: Um it is um where you are now it is mostly human. You see uh let's see have y'all done a perception check yet?

Ellis Taylor: races.

Christopher Hooper: here. Why don't we do a group perception check? Just a lay of the

Tyram: halfling?

Christopher Hooper: land. Wow, those are terrible rolls,

Tyram: Uh 19. Oh, sorry. 16. That was the wrong

Ellis Taylor: No.

Justin Hale: Yeah,

Tyram: thing. I can boost that if it makes a

Justin Hale: perfect.

Christopher Hooper: Justin. Uh, what was that,

Tyram: difference. Uh 16. And I can boost it if it makes a

Christopher Hooper: Taylor? 16. And what you got, Ally? And

Tyram: difference.

Ellis Taylor: I I got a six, but I could spend a lucky point and roll again if we need

Ali Leonard: I got an

Christopher Hooper: yeah,

Ellis Taylor: it to help and try

Ali Leonard: 18.

Christopher Hooper: 18. I think y'all should be fine.

Ellis Taylor: again.

Christopher Hooper: Um, so,

Ellis Taylor: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: uh, what what y'all see y'all? Uh so to that question uh the diversity you

Ali Leonard: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: see uh it actually gives you a lot of information because you see that there are humans that are wearing this like shimmery like thy dynamic clothes that show that are const changing. And then um you see uh more significant diversity of sometimes it looks like they're servants or various people that are like picking up garbage. Um like cleaning the park. Um you see some maintenance people working on a fountain. Um, and their whole mix. I think the the maintenance folks uh is like a gnome and an orc. Um, you see, uh, there is like a halfling shoe shiner on one of the pads. Um, you uh I don't think you see any goblins in this area. Um, and uh you don't I think you

Tyram: Thank

Christopher Hooper: see one dwarven maintenance person, but you don't see any dwarven um servants or like staff

Justin Hale: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: people. Uh most of the staff seem to be like

Tyram: goodness.

Ellis Taylor: Well, I feel

Christopher Hooper: halflings and um gnomes and a couple

Ali Leonard: All

Christopher Hooper: orcs.

Ellis Taylor: like Cool. Well, I feel like it'd be weird for us to wear their shimmery human garb in

Ali Leonard: right.

Ellis Taylor: our regular outfits. Maybe just

Tyram: Silus might make himself look like a

Ellis Taylor: Lily or someone else. Two people and then we just follow

Tyram: human child so that like we could have more than one person like more free to move around, you know?

Ellis Taylor: them. Mhm. We just got to get to our meeting

Tyram: Do we have a

Ellis Taylor: point. The in what if like you and

Tyram: sending stone with

Ellis Taylor: Lily

Luke Neverisky: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: I believe so. I believe in

Tyram: Finnegan? Okay.

Christopher Hooper: you.

Tyram: Um, okay. I'm going to Whichever one of us has the sending stone should probably let him know that we're in the city. But it turns out his plan was a huge waste of time and we just made it

Christopher Hooper: new

Tyram: work.

Christopher Hooper: plan. Um, as y'all are getting that, um, Liliana, um, when that seed planted When that seed planted, you um you um you couldn't quite like it's hard to articulate, but you could feel that the the dead the dead forest was um the other side.

Ali Leonard: Yes.

Christopher Hooper: uh probably where you you led into Yichek and um and the birth of Pelisana. And as that as that tree grew and as those roots connected, you felt you felt that connection too. um you felt that this um you've kind of been sitting with this like separation from Helosana and it's like almost like missing a part of yourself type of thing. And as the tree grew and connected with those roots um lightning sending through uh you start to felt you started to feel interconnected with halosana as well and those um something that comes flooding back with the memory resolved with that experience uh remembered you uh you realized and felt that Liliana and Helisana were effectively extremes of who you actually were, the the two sides of the coin and that you actually are are both of them. And with that guitar, it seems like you're able to switch into either persona whenever you'd

Luke Neverisky: Nice. Well, this is pretty f****** metal. I get to reply as his voice again.

Christopher Hooper: like. Back,

Luke Neverisky: Neato, it feels, you know, everything

Christopher Hooper: baby.

Luke Neverisky: feels feels pretty good and we're and we're and we're in on tour, too. So, really, I'm just, you know, this this is a real roller coaster of a

Tyram: Does that mean that Luke can switch between being a bard and a warlock whenever he wants

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, I guess

Ellis Taylor: Yes, you got two character sheets to deal with now,

Luke Neverisky: day. All right, I'm

Christopher Hooper: so. Yeah, if that's what he wants to

Luke Neverisky: here.

Ellis Taylor: bud. going from barbarian to very

Luke Neverisky: Cool. That's

Christopher Hooper: do.

Tyram: to. So there So you're either full Liliana or you're full Helisana. We're not getting like the the blending together

Luke Neverisky: right. Is that the

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, for

Tyram: of the personas or anything.

Luke Neverisky: mechanic?

Tyram: Okay. Oh, we still have an emotional journey

Justin Hale: Oh, interesting.

Luke Neverisky: Okay.

Tyram: for you to kind of become like become whole, I guess, at some

Ellis Taylor: complicated to learn a

Luke Neverisky: the f****** emotions. Oh

Christopher Hooper: now.

Ellis Taylor: dance and fuse yourself back

Luke Neverisky: my

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. You didn't know

Luke Neverisky: god.

Christopher Hooper: you had a second

Ellis Taylor: together.

Ali Leonard: Sure.

Christopher Hooper: brother?

Tyram: point.

Justin Hale: Same.

Luke Neverisky: Even

Christopher Hooper: be. Um, cool. Uh, yeah. So, uh, what disguises do you all take? Uh, Silus is a human

Ellis Taylor: My vote is

Justin Hale: Yeah,

Christopher Hooper: child.

Justin Hale: I was I was going to do child as well because I think I'm

Christopher Hooper: Okay. Oh, we're doing the the children again.

Ellis Taylor: that El and I just

Justin Hale: shorter. Probably not all of

Ellis Taylor: stay as servants And they pass as humans in their flowy white

Justin Hale: us.

Ali Leonard: Yeah. Can Can we be like

Christopher Hooper: Okay.

Tyram: That's

Christopher Hooper: Oh, yeah.

Tyram: good. Yeah. Gives you guys a makes it plausible. It would be weird if it was

Ali Leonard: nannies?

Tyram: like one human and then a bunch of like uh like staff

Ali Leonard: Yeah, it's like Liliana's the mom. You guys

Tyram: around them. What's

Ellis Taylor: robes. That means we get to hold your

Ali Leonard: are the children. We're

Ellis Taylor: hand.

Luke Neverisky: Yeah, I mean I can just be myself,

Ellis Taylor: I took a

Christopher Hooper: feed. Oh, clever. All

Tyram: path. Yeah, we arrived by

Christopher Hooper: right.

Tyram: tree. The point is we're here. Um where were we supposed to

Ellis Taylor: Yeah. I

Christopher Hooper: a dangle on her. That'll throw his cover. Anyway, uh he

Ali Leonard: ridiculous.

Christopher Hooper: he listen. George is George is doing well.

Tyram: him.

Christopher Hooper: out. I'll get Scarlet in there. We'll figure it out. All

Tyram: Cool. Well, I mean, can you if you uh if you can just get into the city without having any weapons or anything like a more

Christopher Hooper: right. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

Tyram: mundane way, can you just do that?

Christopher Hooper: I'll uh something on that.

Tyram: Okay. All right. Um,

Christopher Hooper: But the meeting point

Tyram: we'll go ahead and make contact with George while you make your way into the city. You know, get get some

Christopher Hooper: Uh, I was supposed to meet him at the

Tyram: get some pieces moving

Ellis Taylor: Hey,

Luke Neverisky: What the

Christopher Hooper: sexy peacock. Uh, soldiers always go

Tyram: here.

Ellis Taylor: sorry.

Christopher Hooper: there. So, we were supposed to meet

Tyram: Okay. Uh, Lyn, have you had any

Ellis Taylor: Uh, no. I just thought like maybe we should stick our weapons in the

Tyram: concerns? What weapons?

Ellis Taylor: hole just so we don't set off any magic

Luke Neverisky: f***?

Tyram: I hold up my empty hands. But the rest of you, yes, go

Ellis Taylor: radars. Oh

Christopher Hooper: him. Hey. Yeah. So, there's um a bunch of like a magic detector stuff like that around the city, so be

Ellis Taylor: lord.

Christopher Hooper: careful. Um what part of the city are you in?

Tyram: ahead. Uh, was everyone a park? Um, looks like a pretty witsy neighborhood. I think trusted Brew. Hey, Brew. We should like uh try to flee these

Christopher Hooper: park. Oh, you're in Emerald

Tyram: guys when we get a

Christopher Hooper: Park. Oh, you'll have a lovely day. You go for a

Tyram: chance. I I assume so. It's objectively pretty nice. Yes, I have to say. Especially compared to the

Christopher Hooper: joke. I

Tyram: the hellish deceits that we just escaped

Justin Hale: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: There's a a really good bakery on there. Uh, fantastic day.

Tyram: from.

Christopher Hooper: Get a bakery. like get a scone or something, walk around the park. It'll make your

Tyram: You know what? Then again, if you have time, we'll totally swing by. But

Christopher Hooper: day. Put that aside. Uh where you're supposed to meet George is in a bit of city part of town. Um

Tyram: um Oh,

Ellis Taylor: Okay.

Christopher Hooper: it's much more close to the Yeah. Yeah. It's

Tyram: yeah. That's my That's my speed. All

Christopher Hooper: um it's a much more um it's along

Tyram: right.

Christopher Hooper: the outskirts called the sexy peacock. Uh uh the soldiers usually go after shifts around uh 6:00

Luke Neverisky: All

Christopher Hooper: p.m. just before dinner. So

Tyram: All right, we'll have to be sure not to confuse it with the homely

Christopher Hooper: um oh yeah,

Ellis Taylor: or the moderately attracted

Christopher Hooper: no bunch of nuns there. Um I'll try to meet you there if I can. Um, yes. Deal with your

Tyram: peacock.

Christopher Hooper: if you got magic items, if you got weapons, uh,

Ellis Taylor: peacock.

Ali Leonard: or I think I'm

Christopher Hooper: figure out a reason why you got them or hide them if you

Luke Neverisky: right, fair

Tyram: Okay, hiding

Luke Neverisky: enough.

Tyram: seems easier than a cover story for now, but we should definitely work on a cover story since our planned cover story just is a no-go

Luke Neverisky: Yeah, I

Christopher Hooper: can.

Ellis Taylor: Now, we could go back through and finish the contest, but I mean, yeah, we

Ali Leonard: intending

Christopher Hooper: Great.

Tyram: now. Can we? I actually don't know if we can.

Ellis Taylor: are

Ali Leonard: We'd have to go all the way down the path

Ellis Taylor: here. Yeah, we really

Christopher Hooper: Amen.

Tyram: I don't think we can go back to the path.

Ellis Taylor: should have asked Bully over. She

Luke Neverisky: think

Tyram: I think we might have to like drive back to the

Ellis Taylor: disappeared.

Ali Leonard: again. It'll be over.

Tyram: library, which by the time we did that, the contest would surely be over,

Ali Leonard: Yeah. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: I think

Ali Leonard: Yeah.

Tyram: right? We could just drive back to the Baron's house and just jump the people who bring the scroll. The task is to bring it to him, not to get

Christopher Hooper: um Well, I'll tell you now. I've been watching the

Tyram: it.

Ellis Taylor: That's

Christopher Hooper: show and it looks like the cow the cowboy folks

Ellis Taylor: true.

Christopher Hooper: are going to like make it pretty far. Um there's one

Luke Neverisky: Yeah. See you

Christopher Hooper: frog left. Really hoping for

Ellis Taylor: Oh, poor thing. What

Luke Neverisky: soon.

Christopher Hooper: him. Yeah,

Ellis Taylor: did they say happened to us?

Christopher Hooper: you just went through that portal and peace the f*** out.

Tyram: Oh, right. Did you see us go through that portal? Yeah. Okay. So, that that portal led us here in a very

Justin Hale: Wonder where those came

Luke Neverisky: what you're talking

Ellis Taylor: I don't know what that could be

Ali Leonard: Stereotypes don't

Luke Neverisky: exist for a reason,

Tyram: potatoes.

Christopher Hooper: really on the

Tyram: I mean, I guess, but like, you know,

Luke Neverisky: right?

Tyram: just Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Dismbempoded

Christopher Hooper: nose.

Tyram: voice. All right, so let's go

Ellis Taylor: Yeah.

Ali Leonard: exist.

Tyram: find George, which I guess I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he hasn't f***** everything up this

Christopher Hooper: Um, cool. Y'all start making your way

Luke Neverisky: Yep.

Christopher Hooper: to um the outskirts.

Justin Hale: Equipment.

Christopher Hooper: Um, it is uh pretty easy to find.

Tyram: time.

Christopher Hooper: Um, y'all are basically in the like as you explore the city, uh, you see that there's like a harbor. Uh, there's like the historic harbor and then there's like the active harbor. And even walking around, you can see

Ali Leonard: I should have.

[02:20:52]

Christopher Hooper: that there are like um space space shuttle launches uh happening like every couple hours um from the harbor. Um and you see like little rockets like shooting up into the sky. Um and they make a whole lot of noise. Uh, and the rest of the city basically fans out from there. Um, and that kind of creates a natural um, like gradation of wealth as you move out. Um, you cross through uh, a ring that is mostly m municipal buildings and um, a lot of like city workers, stuff like that. and eventually cross over to where working peoples are. And uh it doesn't take you long um to ask folks uh for directions to the sexy peacock. Um and you uh you make it there um within with decent amount of time. Um anything else you might be looking uh for as you like traverse the

Ellis Taylor: any obvious power

Christopher Hooper: city?

Tyram: Perfect.

Ellis Taylor: stations like they have like substations around some of those like easy targets for when we set off bombs

Tyram: Yeah, we start our camp of

Ellis Taylor: everywhere or terror plan.

Christopher Hooper: Um, that's a great question.

Ellis Taylor: Mhm.

Christopher Hooper: you see um in particular there are these like huge floating uh crystals of violescence that are like rapidly spinning

Tyram: terrorism.

Christopher Hooper: and um you just see like like jettison beams of energy like hitting these sub pylons that are scattered throughout the city and then those are like distributing further like beams of of purple energy. um in that uh you as you're walking they're tall enough and large enough you can make out it looks like there are about um five of them making like a um pentagon uh around like the city uh with the with a dedicated one in the what you now know as the spaceport.

Tyram: All right. Mental note of that.

Ellis Taylor: Are you saying there's one in the center? That's like the spaceport and then

Christopher Hooper: report. Well, there's one there's uh

Ellis Taylor: there's five making. Okay. Making sure I got that

Christopher Hooper: No, sorry. So, that's like the point of the Pentagon of And then they

Ellis Taylor: right. The point.

Christopher Hooper: fan out in the uh like distributed in a ring style for the rest of

Tyram: Um, um, as we head into the

Christopher Hooper: them.

Tyram: seedier part of town, are we starting to look out of place in our fancy people

Ellis Taylor: Okay.

Luke Neverisky: wondering

Tyram: clothes? Oh, yeah. I'd like to duck into an alley and switch over to something more uh more appropriate for the area when we get a

Christopher Hooper: Yes. Okay, cool. Um, yeah. What's your what's your next

Tyram: chance. Um did did it look like there were humans wearing like

Christopher Hooper: disguises? Yeah.

Tyram: just kind of like uh like workman's clothes or anything around this area? I'll just switch over

Christopher Hooper: Yeah.

Tyram: to a kid like I'm a street urchin now. Like a a kid in a a human kid with just like poor person

Christopher Hooper: When you get to the workers ring,

Tyram: clothes.

Christopher Hooper: um, you now see people of all shapes, uh, styles. Uh, you don't see goblins um in work crews, stuff like that, or just lolly gag like lolly gagging out.

Tyram: Thank

Christopher Hooper: Um, uh, you see folks a lot more dwarves now. Um, they seem to especially run a lot of the shops and stores in this area. Um, and uh, it's very

Tyram: goodness.

Christopher Hooper: like it in this ring. It's very cosmopolitan and diverse. Way more diverse than in the inner ring that you were you starting from. Yeah. And uh you make it to the sexy peacock and you see uh the sign for it uh is a neon sign and it has the peacock uh with

Ellis Taylor: Cool.

Christopher Hooper: the with feathers like kind of outlined and it has its legs just kind of like the animation is like the struting of uh the the peacock legs. Um and uh you see at the door a uh a teling actually um male and says you looking for a good

Luke Neverisky: You f****** bet we

Tyram: again next

Ellis Taylor: ago. I don't see why

Christopher Hooper: I'm basically good for the rest of the

Tyram: week?

Ellis Taylor: not.

Christopher Hooper: year. That was like all the traveling I was going to

Tyram: Hell

Justin Hale: I'm good for

Tyram: yeah. Damn

Justin Hale: I'm good for next week. I'm not good for the week after that. I think I think it's

Christopher Hooper: do.

[02:30:52]

Justin Hale: when we go to Gen Con. That was the character

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Well, that'll

Tyram: you. Oh yeah. So I guess that was

Justin Hale: she messaged y'all

Christopher Hooper: that'll be super

Tyram: the question like do you guys want did you intend for these guys to be

Justin Hale: about.

Christopher Hooper: fun.

Tyram: like stupid

Ellis Taylor: Mhm.

Justin Hale: I don't know. So, um,

Tyram: powerful?

Justin Hale: we we worked with another Renie um that runs the Dice Knights booth. Uh, if you go to Tennessee and you go to the Dice Knights booth, it's pretty f****** cool. It's like a like a laring kind of thing mixed with Dn

Luke Neverisky: Hey,

Justin Hale: D. Um, he um he I think he and his group made those character sheets for

Christopher Hooper: Okay.

Justin Hale: Paulo and Jack. Um, it

Christopher Hooper: Mhm.

Justin Hale: it felt very like 3.5 and not 5e to me because like some of the skills and stuff there was like a knowledge check and a perform check. I was like those don't sound right. That needs to performance. So, um, but yeah, I think it says CR15. It definitely definitely felt way more powerful than that. Especially the lock in with master speed for Jack. It's like he

Christopher Hooper: Good. Perfect.

Justin Hale: can do gobs of damage in like in four turns he

Tyram: Yeah, like

Justin Hale: can do like a total of like 400 damage on

Tyram: in terms of mechanics, he's like a better version of the Chain Devil, which uh Chain Devil can like eat low-level players

Christopher Hooper: Mhm.

Tyram: alive because he can do like seven attacks in a

Justin Hale: average.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. That's the thing is like these

Tyram: turn.

Christopher Hooper: can only uh be like

Justin Hale: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: highle characters cuz they would absolutely just like destroy low-level

Justin Hale: Yeah, right. I I'm not really sure what the intention is. I think we talked

Christopher Hooper: characters.

Justin Hale: to Alo tomorrow or Christina talks to him tomorrow. I'll probably jump

Christopher Hooper: Okay.

Justin Hale: into that and uh see what the intention was there. It sounds like NPCs, so probably like for the DM to just have them purposely not be killable, you know? like to have to have Paulo and Jack like from from the

Christopher Hooper: Yeah.

Justin Hale: Renfair in your game. Oh, so cool. But like don't don't kill him, you

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They can way be way more

Justin Hale: know?

Christopher Hooper: uh That's easier because they could be way less like actually powerful and just be unkillable. But yeah, it's funny.

Justin Hale: Yeah, for

Christopher Hooper: It's so funny to see homebrew like that because it's like none of the formatting is standard. Like it's all over the place. I'm like, where are the actions? Wait, they're they're on the second page. What's going

Justin Hale: sure. Yeah. Yeah. I thought that was interesting, too. I feel like it is definitely if you if

Christopher Hooper: on?

Justin Hale: you look at Dice Nights too when you go to the Renfair it's it's very

Christopher Hooper: Uhhuh.

Justin Hale: loose like it's not it's designed to be a game that you like you know go

Christopher Hooper: Uhhuh. Yeah, that's fun,

Justin Hale: grab a meat or grab a beer and like run around the

Christopher Hooper: too. Yeah, that's

Justin Hale: Renfair doing stupid quests and yeah so I don't I don't know if they know full D and D rules. I I don't know how many people are going to be buying this to actually put it in their game either or if they're just buying like look

Christopher Hooper: cool.

Justin Hale: a D and D character sheet for my favorite, you know, people I see on Instagram.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, that's cool. That's fun. I I really want to go to Jin Con sometime. Are you going to try to see like critical role people at all or

Justin Hale: So last year they were there for

Christopher Hooper: anything? Uh,

Justin Hale: um what's the

Christopher Hooper: dagger.

Justin Hale: game? Yeah, they were there for Dagger Heart, but they were in another building. Um so

Christopher Hooper: Okay. Yeah.

Justin Hale: we and that was sold out like as soon as it was announced. Um, so we didn't have a chance to go to that. And uh, I'll be working

Christopher Hooper: Yeah.

Justin Hale: Paulo's booth most of the time, so we're really only going to see like him and Jack's shows more than

Christopher Hooper: Okay.

Justin Hale: anything. Um, but yeah, I I usually sneak out and buy a bunch of board games while I'm there. I like the

Christopher Hooper: Okay. Okay.

Justin Hale: exhibitor hall more than anything

Christopher Hooper: Cool. Yeah, that'll be fun.

Justin Hale: else, as evident by the wall of board

Christopher Hooper: Yeah, it'd be fun to go to like a game
