Luke Neverisky: It's
Tyram: Oh
Ellis Taylor: Wait, what just happened? Oh s***, I just accidentally added XP
Luke Neverisky: perfect. Oh, darn. Guess you can't remove it. That
Tyram: man. Yeah, Martha is a 20th level
Ellis Taylor: twice. No, no, no. Go
Tyram: character
Ellis Taylor: back. Yeah, I just jumped to like Okay,
Luke Neverisky: sucks.
Tyram: now.
Ellis Taylor: I should be at a level 11, right? All right, let me get out of
Christopher Hooper: Yep.
Ellis Taylor: there. Okay.
Tyram: Oh, hey. Yeah, I think you get her like super like they used to call it improved smite. I think it's like radiant strikes now where you get like every time every time you attack you get
Ellis Taylor: Manage. Mom, I haven't looked with
Tyram: to do extra damage
Ellis Taylor: anything. Oh, that's
Luke Neverisky: Yep. It's fine.
Tyram: now. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: I guess I should level up
Ellis Taylor: fun.
Luke Neverisky: What level is she right now? Oh,
Christopher Hooper: Scarlet.
Luke Neverisky: she's okay.
Tyram: Well,
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, radiant
Tyram: Scarland hasn't made it into the sexy peacock, which you said was the trigger for
Ellis Taylor: strike extrad. D8
Christopher Hooper: 10. Yeah,
Tyram: us leveling
Christopher Hooper: it's
Tyram: up.
Luke Neverisky: Cool.
Tyram: She got lost and ended up at the plane.
Christopher Hooper: true.
Luke Neverisky: The grotesque peacock. I'm trying to
Ellis Taylor: radian.
Luke Neverisky: think of antonym to
Tyram: Peacock. That might be a fun gag for a city is like every one of the pubs is like the same animal
Luke Neverisky: sexy,
Tyram: with like a different adjective.
Luke Neverisky: right? Because then you can be like, "Oh, we're at the peacock. Which one?" You know,
Christopher Hooper: Have we done that gag or I feel like we
Luke Neverisky: we might
Tyram: Yeah, not that I remember, but
Luke Neverisky: have. My favorite gag we've done is the U with all the sheep. You find a
Christopher Hooper: have. Oh yeah. Yeah. With the
Tyram: maybe
Luke Neverisky: U. Sorry.
Christopher Hooper: bruise bruise
Tyram: My favorite gag right now, and we haven't done it in a while, is uh the Ford
Christopher Hooper: sheep. You love that one.
Tyram: F-150. I do love that one. Yeah.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah,
Tyram: And I love its mirror that Toyota Tacomaomas are pieces of
Luke Neverisky: that was
Ellis Taylor: So
Tyram: s***.
Ellis Taylor: sad.
Luke Neverisky: it.
Christopher Hooper: his friends are so
Ellis Taylor: Is that all I get? Radiant
Christopher Hooper: sad.
Tyram: No, you might get another spell slot or
Ellis Taylor: strike. That's all. Let me
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, living is kind of a it's it's not that
Ellis Taylor: look.
Christopher Hooper: good.
Tyram: something. Honestly, Radiant Strike
Ellis Taylor: I'm going to look up a chart and see what I
Tyram: is really good. Like that. that like I mean every time you hit
Ellis Taylor: get. That's
Tyram: someone adding another D8 that's going to do
Ellis Taylor: nice.
Tyram: like hundreds more damage over the course of a long time, you
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, But what did rare strike do for
Tyram: know, even within like a single encounter, you're doing like dozens
Ellis Taylor: Oh, I get one more third level spell.
Tyram: more. I got improved cunning
Christopher Hooper: me?
Ellis Taylor: Cool. Where are my
Tyram: strike. Oh, Justin f***** off
Ellis Taylor: spells? Oh, there they are way
Christopher Hooper: It's really getting into that
Tyram: again.
Ellis Taylor: back. They're little spells.
Christopher Hooper: game and Ally also is still level
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. We're just
Christopher Hooper: 10. Do you think that's why she's going to
Tyram: Damn
Luke Neverisky: slaggers.
Christopher Hooper: be late? Because she anticipates spending an hour leveling
Tyram: her. I assume she's working at Barnes &
Christopher Hooper: up. Yeah, I think so,
Tyram: Noble, which means when she shows up, she'll have to,
Christopher Hooper: too.
Tyram: I guess, probably wait to level up until after the session or
Ellis Taylor: Ooh.
Christopher Hooper: All
Ellis Taylor: That's
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Heat.
Christopher Hooper: right. Are you able to Oh, I guess
Tyram: something.
Christopher Hooper: you're able to level up a little, huh? Cuz she's still she still shows uh deactivated. So, that's very
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, I can edit her, but Right. Yeah. Uh, can you
Christopher Hooper: interesting.
Ellis Taylor: cool.
Luke Neverisky: activate her? Cuz I can't. I'm assuming that's a DM thing. Oh,
Christopher Hooper: Uh, I guess so. I activated
Luke Neverisky: sweet.
Tyram: Well, while we're at it, do you want to go ahead and deactivate?
Christopher Hooper: her. Oh, you know what? I think we should have I think we'll choose one of your characters to be like
Luke Neverisky: Oh, that makes sense. Actually, we can keep
Christopher Hooper: your HP
Luke Neverisky: Alison deactivated. I'll just have like Liliana stash sheet be like the the master um sheet and then I'll propagate whatever to Alison sheet need be like inventory and things like
Christopher Hooper: character. Okay, cool.
Luke Neverisky: that.
Christopher Hooper: Okay, cool. Um cuz yeah actually if we deactivate those people then when I make a map um
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, totally fine. I'll just have one
Christopher Hooper: it'll be a lot
Luke Neverisky: character handle inventory and all that stuff. That's
Tyram: Can you switch on the fly
Luke Neverisky: actually
Christopher Hooper: cleaner.
Tyram: or is it like you switch it like A long rest or short rest type of
Luke Neverisky: that's a great question
Christopher Hooper: And I was thinking um I think as
Luke Neverisky: for
Christopher Hooper: far as you know you can switch on the
Luke Neverisky: Okay, like an action
Christopher Hooper: fly.
Luke Neverisky: basically.
Tyram: thing.
Ellis Taylor: question. Do the gods that we're dealing with and fighting, a lot of those guys Do they count as Oh, I forgot
Christopher Hooper: Mhm.
Ellis Taylor: about the dragons, too. At least the They
Christopher Hooper: Dragons do
Ellis Taylor: count as celestials or
Christopher Hooper: not.
Ellis Taylor: fiends. Dragons do not. I was thinking more like the space dragon,
Christopher Hooper: Um um so I don't think any of the dragons are celestial or fiend. Um you're talking about like
Ellis Taylor: but
Christopher Hooper: detecting good and evil or
Ellis Taylor: Okay. Or element. No, I'm thinking about circle of
Christopher Hooper: something. Circle of magic. What What's the description on
Ellis Taylor: magic. It says,
Christopher Hooper: that?
Ellis Taylor: "You create a 10 foot radius, 20 foot tall cylinder, magical energy uh centered on a point. Um, choose one of or more of the following types of creatures: celestials, elementals, phase, fiends, or undead. The circle affects the creature in the chosen type. Um, they can't willingly enter the cylinder by non-magical means. If they try to use teleportation or interplaner travel, they must succeed on a Christmas saving throw. Um, creatures disadvantaged attack roles in the cylinder. Uh, targets within the cylinder can't be possessed or game chared or frightened conditioned by the creature. But it doesn't seem worth it if it's not going to actually help against the stuff we're fighting for. I just wasn't sure what we were fighting against uh
Christopher Hooper: Um, right now you're like mostly interacting with humans. Um, I don't know how long
Ellis Taylor: counted.
Christopher Hooper: you'll be here.
Ellis Taylor: Mhm. I was thinking like big bad
Christopher Hooper: Um,
Ellis Taylor: guys. Not not not immediate,
Christopher Hooper: um, the most of the big bads are that you know of are not of those
Ellis Taylor: more
Christopher Hooper: types.
Ellis Taylor: Okay. Well, this would have been helpful. Remove
Christopher Hooper: What have you been
Ellis Taylor: curse. Feel like
Christopher Hooper: cursed? Oh, yeah.
Ellis Taylor: we keep getting cursed or stuff keeps happening to
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, that's true.
Ellis Taylor: us.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah, that's probably pretty handy. Is it a third level spell
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, it is
Christopher Hooper: though? Okay.
Ellis Taylor: a third level spell. for me. Yeah, I don't need a necromancy spell. We're not dealing a lot of undead. That or I just do blinding smite and I can get even more da d d d d
Christopher Hooper: I mean, not a bad way to do
Tyram: I think technically healing
Ellis Taylor: damage. I
Luke Neverisky: I think you're
Christopher Hooper: it.
Tyram: spells are necromancy.
Ellis Taylor: know. Um, I can also do aura of
Luke Neverisky: right. Are there
Ellis Taylor: vitality where it's
Luke Neverisky: abjgerations?
Ellis Taylor: a create an aura and while my turn persists I restore I restore 2d6 HP to a creature inside it and it's oh it is concentration
Tyram: That's a great one for healing up the party, especially outside of
Ellis Taylor: but yeah I was thinking about that do if I did that and then like a shining smite or divine smite. Does would
Tyram: combat.
Ellis Taylor: that break my concentration? Cuz those are is a spell slot
Tyram: You get
Ellis Taylor: or I just get to use one for free.
Tyram: to use divine smite for
[00:10:00]
Ellis Taylor: I guess you Yeah, I'll just do that one. I feel like we don't have enough healing and it's hard enough to run around and touch all you
Tyram: free. That makes
Ellis Taylor: guys. Actually, let me
Tyram: sense.
Ellis Taylor: I do have cure wounds, but I have the I had to touch you. Yeah, I do
Tyram: That's
Ellis Taylor: have re I did get revivify in case one of y'all
Tyram: a good one to have in your
Ellis Taylor: die. I already had that and I had to spell magic. I think I'm I'm feeling pretty happy. Okay, let's go to my character sheet.
Tyram: pocket.
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, the nice like cone of protection would have been nice if we were actually fighting any of that stuff. And I guess I could have been thinking about Crowley in the future because that's he's going to come
Tyram: You don't know
Ellis Taylor: back. I do know
Tyram: that. I mean, Crowley's
Ellis Taylor: that. That is a
Tyram: just messing with the Steve squad. He hasn't really done much to you
Ellis Taylor: fact.
Tyram: guys.
Luke Neverisky: Yes.
Tyram: You uh finish up your level up there,
Luke Neverisky: We'll never
Tyram: Joseph. You're muted, by the
Christopher Hooper: Nope. I know. I know. He
Justin Hale: Damn
Luke Neverisky: know.
Justin Hale: it. Level level level 11's kind of dope.
Christopher Hooper: hasn't.
Justin Hale: uh store I get to store a spell
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Really? That's nice.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Oh, that's
Justin Hale: inside of an object and anybody can use that spell as
Tyram: way.
Luke Neverisky: need.
Christopher Hooper: cool.
Justin Hale: an action if they're
Tyram: That's really f****** good.
Ellis Taylor: That's
Christopher Hooper: I feel like that is really cool
Justin Hale: hold. So
Tyram: Yeah. If you're not sure what to do, if you have
Christopher Hooper: created solution
Tyram: shield, that would be a great one to just be like a placeholder for
Justin Hale: I'm at first level I have to pick from the
Ellis Taylor: nice.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Justin Hale: artifice or spell list. That's what I'm looking at now.
Christopher Hooper: too. It's but you have to like take a shot of
Tyram: now.
Ellis Taylor: 12
Luke Neverisky: Brown is the
Christopher Hooper: brown.
Tyram: Is it
Luke Neverisky: shoe.
Justin Hale: first or second as long
Tyram: first or first or second level?
Justin Hale: as it's on the artificer list. I can get I can get homunculous servant so I can have just an army of
Luke Neverisky: That's kind of thematic for you, right? Like pretty
Justin Hale: minions. I'll have
Tyram: Okay.
Justin Hale: Kevin and my cardinal and then this third guy. I want it to be able to be something that we can pass around though because you can cast
Luke Neverisky: perfect.
Justin Hale: it uh up to my what was it? Intelligence
Tyram: Well, cure wounds is a solid choice for just like emergency healing that like anyone can pick up and pass around.
Ellis Taylor: Mhm. You get a hacky sack that has cure wounds on it. You just like have to kick
Justin Hale: modifier.
Ellis Taylor: it and throw it at each other. Boom.
Justin Hale: Uhhuh.
Tyram: That would be
Ellis Taylor: HP. Or water balloons.
Tyram: funny. Like you just dink someone in the head every time you want to heal
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, I was thinking about storing fireball in a
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: potato.
Justin Hale: number of times equal
Ellis Taylor: Heck yeah.
Justin Hale: to twice my intelligence
Tyram: them.
Christopher Hooper: You have a pretty high intelligence
Justin Hale: mod which is what? Eight. Damn,
Luke Neverisky: Nice. Get your
Justin Hale: that's crazy. So, eight times. That
Ellis Taylor: Potato.
Luke Neverisky: army.
Justin Hale: would be fun.
Tyram: I do pity toeer
Ellis Taylor: That's a big city.
Christopher Hooper: point.
Tyram: if you have like eight f****** little token dudes having to run around
Justin Hale: It would
Tyram: the
Justin Hale: take eight hours to cast it
Tyram: map. Oh,
Ellis Taylor: Come. You go
Tyram: I think that it has to be like an action or
Ellis Taylor: all night. All nighter. All
Justin Hale: though. It's an hour cast and if I cast it eight times then Yeah.
Ellis Taylor: nighter. Brew is not sleeping tonight. It's
Christopher Hooper: And how long do they
Tyram: less. That would probably be funny, but I don't think the servants
Christopher Hooper: last?
Tyram: actually are all that useful. Like having one is like probably
Justin Hale: So
Tyram: like the most you would get any use out of
Justin Hale: the the best thing about homunculous servants is they
Tyram: anyway.
Luke Neverisky: There.
Justin Hale: last until they are
Ellis Taylor: fine.
Christopher Hooper: I like the
Justin Hale: killed and then they just turn back into the like gem that you use to make
Christopher Hooper: idea. I like the idea that like every
Justin Hale: them.
Christopher Hooper: night Brew makes a homunculous servant and just sends them out into the world.
Ellis Taylor: Oh, go forth my
Justin Hale: Oh s***. Yeah,
Tyram: Will they all look like minions
Justin Hale: actually. Uh, they would have to.
Ellis Taylor: child.
Justin Hale: Yeah. Oh, if you already have a Humunulus from this spell, it's
Luke Neverisky: There you
Christopher Hooper: early.
Justin Hale: replaced by the new one. That
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Justin Hale: So, I could have a Kevin plus one, but yeah, that's not
Luke Neverisky: go.
Justin Hale: really worth it. What else do we have? It's lesser restoration, a healing spell sort of.
Christopher Hooper: What did we do last time?
Luke Neverisky: so
Christopher Hooper: Feel like we did a
Luke Neverisky: much.
Ellis Taylor: We cheat coated into Elderan
Christopher Hooper: lot.
Ellis Taylor: through a
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, you you planted the you
Ellis Taylor: tree and we got a lot of Lily
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: planted the seed, the world tree seed. Pretty
Ellis Taylor: backstory.
Luke Neverisky: Yep. That's right. We did
Christopher Hooper: good.
Ellis Taylor: The library is being overrun with
Luke Neverisky: unleash a bunch of tomatoes onto the
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Luke Neverisky: world. Um
Ellis Taylor: tomatoes.
Luke Neverisky: then Yeah. Sexy
Tyram: Now we're meeting
Christopher Hooper: and you um
Tyram: George.
Ellis Taylor: Oh, I wrote down exactly what I
Christopher Hooper: Finnegan. Yeah.
Ellis Taylor: wanted to do to go past
Christopher Hooper: Um, you're supposed to meet George at the sexy
Luke Neverisky: peacock.
Christopher Hooper: peacock and that uh that's when the the session
Ellis Taylor: me.
Christopher Hooper: ended. Um, let's
Luke Neverisky: band
Christopher Hooper: see. Oh, you met Ben Gun. That's
Luke Neverisky: gun.
Christopher Hooper: right. Do we
Luke Neverisky: Yep.
Christopher Hooper: learn anything from the um different
Tyram: Well, uh, we learned about, uh, Liliana's trauma that, um, her brother had gone to join the Aldorian
Christopher Hooper: scenes?
Tyram: forces, uh, got involved in this research project to apparently build the moon laser. or using like harmonics
Ellis Taylor: Mhm.
Tyram: and some such thing and apparently there's like a musical principle behind it
Justin Hale: And also we even knew he
Tyram: and everything. Anyway,
Ellis Taylor: Is
Tyram: uh Commander Steel though murdered him
Luke Neverisky: We now have a
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, sweetie. Sorry, I got princess.
Tyram: when he raised an
Justin Hale: existed.
Tyram: objection.
Ellis Taylor: it? He's like a creepy gray dude with body
Justin Hale: Yeah, we were
Tyram: Yep. Yeah. He's like a
Ellis Taylor: mods.
Luke Neverisky: new
Justin Hale: we were all like, "Oh, yeah, that's awesome. We didn't know that
Tyram: cyborg.
Ellis Taylor: Mhm.
Justin Hale: uh they had a brother. Let's go save him." And then the next scene, Kofer immediately kills
Tyram: Well, I started to worry if we had killed him at some point since
Justin Hale: him. What was it? Yeah, it was one of those things where it was like maybe, maybe,
Tyram: we're fighting a lot of elder
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Justin Hale: hopefully not. And then,
Tyram: people. No, thankfully
Luke Neverisky: Yes. Thank
Justin Hale: nope, he
Tyram: he was brutally murdered before we ever had the
Justin Hale: was dead the whole
Tyram: chance.
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. Dodged a
Luke Neverisky: God.
Tyram: Yeah, indeed. At least
Ellis Taylor: bullet there.
Justin Hale: time.
Tyram: we're not personally responsible for it, you know. In fact, we had nothing to do with it really. But um but
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, We are all
Tyram: yeah. Yeah. Then we That
Ellis Taylor: like blissfully unaware. I
Tyram: was a lot of annoying chuckle fox in the forest, but we eventually planted the uh the the seed and made it into the
Ellis Taylor: think and we uh accidentally unleash some sort of trickster goddess.
Tyram: city. Oh, yeah. Straona is uh has been released from her hell dimension. And apparently a cannibal has too who he
Justin Hale: There's
Tyram: just had to coax over from the tree line. For some
Luke Neverisky: He was He was I don't know. He didn't
Justin Hale: Listen, the the
Luke Neverisky: help.
Justin Hale: assumption is not that everyone's inherently evil.
Tyram: reason,
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Tyram: I can count on one hand the characters in this
Justin Hale: Okay? I I'm
Tyram: campaign who have been any help to us at
Justin Hale: I'm still holding out hope that Toeer is not a sadistic evil DM. Okay. I'm I'm
Tyram: all. That ship is
Justin Hale: continually I'm continually proven wrong, but you know,
Ellis Taylor: after Pokemon. No way.
Justin Hale: I'm holding out hope.
Tyram: sailed. At a certain point, hope becomes delusion. That is a delusion at this
Christopher Hooper: Are you um trying to evaluate what I'm capable
Luke Neverisky: Don't push
Justin Hale: Okay. Uh we're trying
Tyram: point. See, he's taking it as a f******
Luke Neverisky: it.
Justin Hale: to
Tyram: challenge. That's the kind of sick f*** we're dealing with here.
Justin Hale: I'm uh I'm holding out hope of your morality,
Christopher Hooper: of?
Justin Hale: which seems to be ever
Christopher Hooper: You know, I'm just um Listen, I want y'all to be the heroes, okay?
Justin Hale: fleeting. We're We're
Luke Neverisky: Okay,
Justin Hale: trying people to say that are worse off than than where we
Christopher Hooper: I think yall are doing
[00:20:00]
Justin Hale: were. By the
Christopher Hooper: great.
Justin Hale: way, well, where's my camera? It's down here. And in honor of my dragon and despite all of
Luke Neverisky: first

Justin Hale: faces, get that crap out of here,
Ellis Taylor: Pepsi. Was there some hate on Pepsi?

Ellis Taylor: box?
Luke Neverisky: nice. Excuse
Christopher Hooper: IPA. No, but it does have
Justin Hale: that? I'm sorry.
Tyram: walked by last week? We
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Luke Neverisky: me.
Christopher Hooper: this like the same icon.
Justin Hale: What?
Tyram: w Okay, we went to go watch the World Cup and uh we walked by a cafe called Silver
Justin Hale: Fair
Tyram: Fox, which I assume is like a del
Ellis Taylor: Oh, that's
Tyram: cafe, it was
Ellis Taylor: awesome. God, World Cup was crazy. Who all
Tyram: a good game. Yeah.
Ellis Taylor: watched and you It was Was it a good game? It
Tyram: Well, it was a lowscoring game, but like they
Ellis Taylor: was dramatic, but
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. I mean, Spain dominated
Justin Hale: enough.
Tyram: were threatening a lot and like I let Spain I was
Ellis Taylor: it was not a well played game.
Christopher Hooper: for 118 minutes.
Tyram: I was kind of neutral for who I was rooting for until Spain had that one
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, I
Tyram: goal that was disallowed and I never could tell what they had done
Justin Hale: I I was busy for some reason.
Ellis Taylor: know.
Justin Hale: I just don't remember what I was doing now.
Christopher Hooper: Yep.
Justin Hale: I didn't watch a single World Cup
Tyram: wrong. Yeah, there are a lot of good
Justin Hale: game mainly because I couldn't be bothered to figure out how to watch
Tyram: games
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. you could just do Telmundo on Amazon. It was
Justin Hale: it. Uh I did see
Ellis Taylor: very easy.
Justin Hale: the meme about that of like everyone speaking Spanish after watching
Tyram: though.
Justin Hale: the
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, actually during that goal that Spain did they didn't give Spain, I had to call my brother because I was like, I'm watching in Spanish. I don't know what's happening. Why are they
Tyram: Well, I couldn't hear anything
Ellis Taylor: giving it to
Tyram: they were saying because we were in a restaurant, but so like watching the replay, I have no
Ellis Taylor: them?
Tyram: idea what he supposedly had done wrong.
Ellis Taylor: It was I
Tyram: Yeah. Didn't you say like he had like stepped on his foot or
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, it was very it was a slight foul.
Tyram: something?
Ellis Taylor: forgot there was it was a slight slight foul like it didn't even look like a foul to me like but on Spain against uh
Justin Hale: Oh.
Ellis Taylor: Argentina it was all ball like it didn't it
Justin Hale: Um. Before we start, I did
Ellis Taylor: wasn't anything
Justin Hale: want to uh shore up my new thing.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Thank
Justin Hale: So, I'm going to put it on an object. I like the idea of a hacky sack that we can throw at
Christopher Hooper: you.
Justin Hale: each other or that Kevin can carry. Um the spell I can change the spell every long rest depending on what we need it to be. And it does not have to be a spell that I know or have prepared. As long as it's on the artificer list, it's good to
Christopher Hooper: There we
Justin Hale: go. So before every
Ellis Taylor: But that's cool.
Justin Hale: day, we should probably like game plan that to see what we need and then we can have
Tyram: Nice.
Luke Neverisky: Yes.
Justin Hale: a a utility hacky
Tyram: Yeah,
Christopher Hooper: go.
Tyram: there's no uh school restrictions, right? It's just any first or second level
Justin Hale: sack. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: I do think you have to be at what, like
Justin Hale: Right.
Christopher Hooper: a high school reading
Justin Hale: Do
Christopher Hooper: level. Uh, I think the only school restriction is you have to be at like a high school reading level
Tyram: spell.
Luke Neverisky: He
Christopher Hooper: or something like
Justin Hale: what? What are you
Luke Neverisky: said school and he said high
Christopher Hooper: that.
Justin Hale: saying?
Luke Neverisky: school. I get it. I get
Justin Hale: Oh, I
Ellis Taylor: It's
Luke Neverisky: it.
Christopher Hooper: All right. Uh, wait, wait. I'll explain
Justin Hale: couldn't
Tyram: It wasn't
Ellis Taylor: funny.
Christopher Hooper: it. No, it'll be better if I explain it. Um, so you
Ellis Taylor: Or just say it a third
Luke Neverisky: Are you about to
Christopher Hooper: said, "No, I decided not to. I didn't have the energy." And I'm not even sure I understand the joke enough to explain
Justin Hale: You don't
Christopher Hooper: it.
Justin Hale: you don't understand your explain to
Luke Neverisky: overexlain?
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. I don't know what is supposed to make it
Ellis Taylor: time.
Christopher Hooper: funny. Cuz it's like school and school. Yeah. It's not a
Justin Hale: me.
Tyram: But you know what?
Ellis Taylor: I thought you were making fun of Brew's reading
Tyram: Um, at some point while um we were walking over to the sexy peacock, I feel like Silus would have uh either telepathically or maybe verbally like talked to Brew and been like, "Uh, so Brew, it looks like we're back
Christopher Hooper: pun.
Tyram: in the revenge business. We got to hunt down this
Ellis Taylor: capabilities.
Justin Hale: Association. Yeah, that
Tyram: Commander Steel for
Justin Hale: dude sucked. That was We could We could hunt him down regardless.
Tyram: Lily. Well, I mean like he's like apparently like instrumental to the whole moon laser thing, so like we definitely need to deal with him. But like now
Justin Hale: Yeah, Andy was creepy. So like
Tyram: it's personal, you
Justin Hale: that's enough for
Tyram: know? Yeah. I'm really worried all like the flower children in the party aren't going to want to kill him. We should
Justin Hale: me
Tyram: totally kill him though,
Justin Hale: commander. Yes, obviously I
Tyram: right? Oh, yeah. Okay,
Justin Hale: I don't care if if anyone agrees with us. He's
Tyram: cool. Oh, for sure. Yeah. Like if like Olivia's only like, "Hey, it's better to show mercy." We should just kill him
Ellis Taylor: Are you calling Olivia flower child the
Justin Hale: a That was a really good Olivia
Ellis Taylor: ex
Justin Hale: impersonation, by the
Tyram: anyway. Oh, I know. Yeah, I've been
Ellis Taylor: cop?
Justin Hale: way. She sounds just like that. Maybe not in pitch or anything, but like the words it's absolutely
Tyram: practicing. Thank you. I I was working really hard on it. But anyway,
Justin Hale: hard.
Tyram: here we are. The sexy
Christopher Hooper: Sexy peacock.

Christopher Hooper: Um, uh, give me a perception
Tyram: anywhere? Uh
Ellis Taylor: We were told he wasn't there
Christopher Hooper: check. Um, so you don't see him. Um, I think something that strikes out to you,
Ellis Taylor: yet.
Christopher Hooper: uh, like these are young families here. Um, so, uh, that seems odd. You haven't you haven't been to like an inn
Tyram: 22.
Christopher Hooper: like that before. Um, like you've been to travelers ins and often rougher, uh, places. So, um, this distinctly seems to be like a familyfriendly, um, in of some sort. Um, you don't see George at all
Luke Neverisky: I guess
Tyram: So, are we like a TGI Fridays or like
Luke Neverisky: that's
Christopher Hooper: yet. It kind of looks like that. Yeah.
Tyram: what?
Christopher Hooper: And then um uh a woman with um incredible uh like blue dyed um long hair um with streaks of green going down her back along with a very simple dress of um it it looks like it used to be white and now it's faded to gray. um comes to your table and says, "Hey, um can I help you? Uh would you like some food and drink? My husband said you y'all are very hungry."
Tyram: Yeah. Uh, do you have a menu we could look
Christopher Hooper: Oh, yeah, sure. Um and she starts passing out these like
Tyram: at?
Christopher Hooper: threefold like huge menus. And uh we have a little uh special today. Um you just arrived. Um well, let's look at the sun. It looks like happy hour starts in about 30 minutes and that's when we'll have our molten chocolate cakes and um our margarita specials. Um so take a look at that. People love the mozzarella sticks and um you know um I got to be honest wouldn't do the salad. There's something going around right now. So
Luke Neverisky: No, I love
Christopher Hooper: um the fruit's good but would skip on the salad. I know. Me,
Tyram: Well, between you and me, I wasn't going to order a salad
Luke Neverisky: salad.
Christopher Hooper: too. Right.
Tyram: anyway
Christopher Hooper: Great. Well, now doubly so. Anyway, especially if you're staying here, do I I actually won't serve you salad if you're staying
Tyram: there.
Christopher Hooper: here. Okay. Um anyway, I'll be right back in a moment um to get those drink orders uh as you like look for some stuff and then uh we'll get some some things uh going for you. All right.
Tyram: If that makes it into the recap, it's really going to like lock it into this
Justin Hale: Okay. So, so one of two
Tyram: time.
Luke Neverisky: Lovely.
Justin Hale: things. Either that lady is impeccable with telling time from the sun or she starts
Luke Neverisky: Maybe she
Justin Hale: happy hour whenever she feels like
Luke Neverisky: just maybe both. Maybe she's just happy all the
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Tyram: Maybe both.
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Justin Hale: it. Well,
Tyram: Although like surely there's that clock in here, right? Like why did you get to look at the
Justin Hale: she glanced at the sun and said it started in 30 minutes. That's That's
Tyram: sun?
Luke Neverisky: time. She's truly a master of her
Tyram: I did know a guy
Luke Neverisky: craft.
Tyram: in high school who could tell time within like five minutes looking at the
Ellis Taylor: I think he was
Tyram: sun.
Ellis Taylor: probably like looking at a watch or something and
Justin Hale: crazy. Yeah.
Tyram: I saw him do it a few times and it looked like he was like just looking at the
Ellis Taylor: just tricking
Luke Neverisky: Dang. When he did it though, was he
Tyram: at the sun. If he if it was some sort of trick, it was
Justin Hale: And
Tyram: a well executed one. But
Luke Neverisky: like
Justin Hale: that's
Tyram: anyway, um all right. Um, I'm going to check the menu real quick. Um, see if they have any brown
Ellis Taylor: you.
Justin Hale: Doesn't even matter
Tyram: for
Justin Hale: anymore. Pull out the Mary Poppins
Christopher Hooper: Um, you look at this menu, it has every f****** possible thing that you could ever want
Tyram: brew. Is
Christopher Hooper: available.
Justin Hale: bag. Sounds like
Tyram: this more like TJI Fridays or like Cheesecake
Christopher Hooper: Um, yeah. I mean, yeah. I
Justin Hale: either
Christopher Hooper: guess the closest thing I was thinking of was like
Tyram: Factory?
Christopher Hooper: Chili's, which I guess is supposed to be Mexican, but when you
Luke Neverisky: It's a
Christopher Hooper: go, it just has like every single P. I mean, what else is Chili supposed to
Tyram: Okay. There is kind of a vague southwestern theme to
Ellis Taylor: What? I mean,
Luke Neverisky: marriage.
Christopher Hooper: be? Yeah. Is it supposed to be like
Tyram: chili. Yeah. Like they do
Christopher Hooper: text or something?
Tyram: chips and salsa is like the default appetizer instead of

Christopher Hooper: George is like looks back at you and says, "I know. I know, Grandma. You're always trying to look out for me. You always have." And I I I appreciate that. But you also inspire me to be brave and be involved and try to do what's right. That's what I'm trying to do here. There's enough people building High
Ali Leonard: I mean, he got you
Tyram: I don't think it
Ellis Taylor: I I
Ali Leonard: there,
Tyram: bode well that you had to be reminded to talk out loud at the
Ellis Taylor: mean I I mean
Christopher Hooper: Forge.
Ali Leonard: Olivia.
Ellis Taylor: I Yeah, I appreciate it, sweetie, but like why the Twilight Company? Why not someone not
Tyram: waitress. Well, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Ellis Taylor: crooked? Oh, come on, Sylus. You
Justin Hale: That's a legal offensive. There's a legal
Tyram: Okay, okay, you know what? That's completely fair. You know what?
Ellis Taylor: know exactly what I'm
Christopher Hooper: I mean, that's who you work
Tyram: Objection
Christopher Hooper: with, right, Grandma?
Ali Leonard: Twilight Company is pretty
Ellis Taylor: saying. Not
Luke Neverisky: It's
Ali Leonard: great.
Justin Hale: offensive.
Tyram: withdrawn. Well, upper management's
Ellis Taylor: It's kind of just happened. It wasn't on
Tyram: pretty great, but almost everyone else in the Twilight Company has
Ellis Taylor: purpose.
Tyram: kind of been a huge pain in our
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. They um they're kind of
Tyram: ass.
Christopher Hooper: rough around the edges for sure, but I don't know. I was just so sick and tired of I want to get out there in the action. And there was none of that in High Force. The only people who are doing that were Twilight Company and I knew you work with them and I don't know it seemed like a good opportunity but I think I can help you. If you're trying to do what I think you're doing then I've got the
Ellis Taylor: Yeah. No, I I think you can too, sweetie. It's just I mean, you're the baby of the
Christopher Hooper: information.
Tyram: In George's defense, at
Ellis Taylor: grandkids. It's
Tyram: least this is the first time we've run into him where we did not have to immediately
Luke Neverisky: That's
Ali Leonard: on
Tyram: extract him from some sort of terrible danger. So, he's trending in the
Ali Leonard: the up. Absolutely positive
Justin Hale: I
Tyram: right
Ellis Taylor: hard.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, that was my first mission with the Twilight Company. So, they really threw me in the fire there.
Luke Neverisky: true.
Christopher Hooper: Anyway, y'all dealt with that just fine. It worked out. Anyway, I need to tell you about
Justin Hale: think.
Tyram: direction.
[01:00:00]
Christopher Hooper: Toothies. So, I'm just kind of, you know, I get the information. I try to tell what's up. You're going to need to you Sorry, but you can't stay here. This is like kind of like a a family motel type of thing. So, um there's a there's a safe house. It's toothies and it's it's on a hill that you're going to be able to see has a has a good view of the barracks and the spaceport. So, it's going to be a better place for you to, you know, scope it out, see what you want to do. We outlined. Yeah. Oh. Uh we outlined
Tyram: Oh, that's just me coughing. Sorry.
Christopher Hooper: there's three locations that we want um destroy one is uh one of the central uh factories in the spaceport. We think if we take that out, they'll severely handicap uh their capabilities to get to their space station. And then uh the university, they've got a incredible research center there and so we want to uh try to destroy that. We think uh one of the most important targets is there. Um he's uh let me look the who is that guy. Uh Captain Steel. He he resides in the in the university. And then
Ellis Taylor: Oh, two birds, one stone,
Christopher Hooper: um Oh, do you all know about
Tyram: I look over at Liliana when uh
Luke Neverisky: And Liliana does this. I'm
Tyram: Captain Steel is
Luke Neverisky: going to f****** kill that
Christopher Hooper: him?
Luke Neverisky: a******.
Christopher Hooper: Oh,
Tyram: mentioned. Oh, hey Ellie. How's it going?
Ellis Taylor: huh? Question. Does Liliana's hair change? I'm
Luke Neverisky: Anyway,
Ellis Taylor: assuming Helisana had like black
Luke Neverisky: yeah.
Christopher Hooper: wow.
Ali Leonard: Or is it that cool like split where it's
Ellis Taylor: hair. Did she just get like super
Luke Neverisky: Good
Ali Leonard: like white on one side and black on the other?
Ellis Taylor: terrifying?
Luke Neverisky: point. We could do just split down the middle. Think about
Christopher Hooper: I think um I think it's kind of like uh a gradient as much as like they give in to one um character or another. So
Ellis Taylor: Oo.
Christopher Hooper: if you if you do like just like a short like that,
Luke Neverisky: it.
Christopher Hooper: it's like a like a a little like lightning bolt of like color down like the right eye or something as like you get a streak and then like a discoloration um like across your face
Luke Neverisky: Very good.
Christopher Hooper: as you say that and then it like goes away.
Luke Neverisky: Very
Christopher Hooper: Um. Oh, wow. You've
Luke Neverisky: good. Yeah, he f****** killed my brother. It's
Christopher Hooper: got some
Luke Neverisky: no big deal. But I'm going to f****** rip his eyes
Christopher Hooper: history. Oh.
Luke Neverisky: out.
Christopher Hooper: Oh gosh. Yeah. All right. Well, uh you'll have to do
Luke Neverisky: That's
Christopher Hooper: it from his exploded body or something. Um anyway, we'll uh we'll figure that out later, I guess. And then the third location is the barracks, obviously. trying to hit the most soldiers we can there. Um that part,
Luke Neverisky: fine.
Christopher Hooper: please tell me when you're going to hit that because uh obviously I don't want to be
Justin Hale: What's
Christopher Hooper: there. Um and those are the three
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, George. What's the best way for us
Christopher Hooper: sites.
Ellis Taylor: to communicate with
Christopher Hooper: Well, unfortunately, we can't do sending stone because it'll track that on me. So, you'll need to talk through uh Toothy. Toothy has a way to send me a message. you just have to send me the message day before um and I should be able to make arrangements to you know adjust to the
Tyram: Are there any like
Ellis Taylor: you?
Tyram: dead drops in the city where we could like leave a note or
Christopher Hooper: schedule. Um, I don't know. I imagine if you work with Toothy, you could
Tyram: something?
Christopher Hooper: probably figure it out. Um, yeah, I've been working mostly through Toothy Toothy and Finnegan, but Finnegan's mostly in and out. Did you talk to him
Ellis Taylor: Uh yeah, we talked to him
Christopher Hooper: yet? Oh, is he in the city
Ellis Taylor: when we got
Tyram: He should be on his way. I
Ellis Taylor: here.
Christopher Hooper: yet? Oh, okay. Okay, great. Great. Um, good. But he's our connection to HQ. So, uh, one of the best way for us to get resources. All right. Wow. I can't believe this is
Ellis Taylor: No.
Christopher Hooper: happening. We've been working on this for months
Luke Neverisky: been super helpful.
Christopher Hooper: now. Um, are you going to have y'all been watching the the Bradicus
Luke Neverisky: Thanks. Can't say
Christopher Hooper: TV um of your
Tyram: think.
Christopher Hooper: show? Okay. Well, I think
Ellis Taylor: Absolutely
Luke Neverisky: so.
Christopher Hooper: it's about to to do the grand finale. Um, and at that
Ellis Taylor: not.
Christopher Hooper: point, you see um a bunch more people are filing in to Sexy Peacock. And um there are a few TVs, especially uh projecting out of this like central bar um towards the rest of the restaurant. Um and it's all tuned to um Bradicus TV. You see these um drone footage uh playing at this point. Um Adet swings by and says, "All right, these are the margaritas you got. Um it's about to get busy in here, so um if you need anything, please tell me now. Otherwise, probably won't be able to get to you until the show's over."
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, I'd like another
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Ellis Taylor: margarita and uh just a chicken salad
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Uh,
Ellis Taylor: or southwest chicken
Christopher Hooper: okay. You want the lettuce
Tyram: You don't want

Ellis Taylor: fiber.
Christopher Hooper: scurry. Um, all right. And you see now on the TV, uh, it zeros in on, Um the cowboy crew uh they uh stroll they um stroll down a hallway and you can just think out behind them um the fountain and water feature of the room that that y'all left and um they come to a stone uh door uh with the huge like lever uh a turning wheel to like turn the lever off the latches and um they turn that and then it
Ellis Taylor: m***********. Were we like 5 minutes
Christopher Hooper: swings.
Ellis Taylor: away from
Christopher Hooper: Um and immediately they start getting swamped by more of these phantoms. Um there's a huge uh battle that happens. Um you see immediately
Ellis Taylor: winning?
Christopher Hooper: um the the old man gets torn apart and they start blasting uh Phantom. Uh huge uh more another one of the cowboys goes down. Um there is this uh this main figure in the room. Um as the phantoms start going down, she um starts casting spells. a firebolt uh takes down um what's his name? Oh, Paul. Yeah. Flings Paul against one of the walls and falls unconscious. And at that point, Jesse pulls out one of her rifles and starts uh right into the librarian. And uh the librarian falls um and says, "I will return to my books." And um lays down in a puddle of mud and blood. And Jesse walks slowly to a central pedestal with a glowing book on it. And then it the screen cuts to another camera. It It's like over the shoulder of a little frog that you've seen. Um, their name is Needle. And they raise their blow dart uh pipe and sends a needle right into Jesse's neck and she falls down starting to to foam at the mouth. Needle then hops over to the pedestal, grabs the book, looks around, and then scurries away. At this point, the camera flies to Paul, who's shaken off uh and starting to come too. He looks over and he sees Jee who's struggling. She's hard to breathe. That's when the broadcast ends and says, "Find out next week on Breakfast TV. Um, and you just hear booze around the restaurant and people like, "Boo, we wanted
Tyram: That is a pretty s***** place
Luke Neverisky: It's not the best cliffhanger.
Christopher Hooper: Jesse
Tyram: for a cliffhanger. But I feel like Toeer's like, "I made this encounter. Damn it. I'm going to use
Ellis Taylor: Hello.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Paul." Got to resolve it.
Tyram: it." See, I told you those little frogs were a bunch of little bastards.
Ellis Taylor: They're just fighting. It was It's not worth
Tyram: He just killed
Ellis Taylor: anyone dying for a damn
Luke Neverisky: You did just kill
Tyram: someone. He's the
Ellis Taylor: prize. Well, we can
Justin Hale: I mean,
Tyram: one doing the
Ellis Taylor: rise
Justin Hale: we kill people a lot of times and sometimes we don't get anything for
Tyram: murder. That's
[01:10:00]
Ellis Taylor: above
Luke Neverisky: me.
Tyram: a good point. But usually they're
Christopher Hooper: Um,
Justin Hale: it.
Tyram: like people who totally deserve it, you know? Well, man, I'm glad we didn't go through that. That looked
Ellis Taylor: I would have had to fight my friends. I don't think she would have liked
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, definitely not better than reliving past traumatic experience. It's no
Tyram: awful. You know what,
Ellis Taylor: that. Oh, we're so much closer to
Luke Neverisky: way.
Tyram: Ellie or Lily, whichever one you are right now, I feel like you came through a stronger person because of it. You know, like it was something you needed to
Ellis Taylor: now. Yeah.
Tyram: face.
Ellis Taylor: Honestly, sweetie, what we need to know. What would you like us to call
Luke Neverisky: That's a great question. I guess just uh whatever whatever I'm whatever I am at the present moment. I guess I honestly don't know who I am at the
Ellis Taylor: you?
Luke Neverisky: moment. Maybe we can come up with something like
Justin Hale: that both end and
Luke Neverisky: that.
Ali Leonard: Lilana. Yeah, we can just call you
Justin Hale: honor. I'm going to call you
Ellis Taylor: Okay.
Luke Neverisky: That's true. That's
Ali Leonard: Anna. It's a little bit above. It's
Tyram: Oh, that is a really efficient way to do it. Yeah,
Ellis Taylor: Yeah.
Luke Neverisky: That's Oh, good job, bro. So
Ali Leonard: a little bit above.
Justin Hale: Anna. You
Tyram: that works for both.
Luke Neverisky: smart. That's
Christopher Hooper: That's
Justin Hale: know, sometimes you got to be
Christopher Hooper: a high-end character right
Justin Hale: efficient.
Luke Neverisky: right. Oh, no. Bruce out of flash of genius. He can't go.
Christopher Hooper: there.
Tyram: Okay, take that back. You didn't have the ability to make a an
Justin Hale: Someone else has got to say it.
Ellis Taylor: All right, I have a tech question for somebody. I'm booting up my computer because the iPad's going to die and it wants me to do a BIOS setup because I think it died
Christopher Hooper: Um, your laptop
Tyram: insightful
Ellis Taylor: died. I don't know what that means.

Ellis Taylor: my laptop. No,
Luke Neverisky: I
Christopher Hooper: laptop. Oh,

Ellis Taylor: memory.
Christopher Hooper: normally.
Ellis Taylor: Okay. Yeah, I haven't turned this thing my laptop my personal laptop on in months and I think it just the battery just
Christopher Hooper: It's either just going to launch normally after doing some like repair stuff or you like need to reinstall your OS and there's no in
Ellis Taylor: died.
Luke Neverisky: If
Christopher Hooper: between.
Ellis Taylor: No, no, I don't like that. No. Well, you might lose me. I'm down to 12% on my
Luke Neverisky: it's
Christopher Hooper: No, it's

Ellis Taylor: Continue. I hope
Luke Neverisky: It's working
Christopher Hooper: fine.
Justin Hale: it,
Tyram: Fingers
Ellis Taylor: so. It feels hot.
Justin Hale: dude.
Tyram: crossed. So George told us we need to blow up the barracks. We need to
Ellis Taylor: No, I forgot my
Tyram: blow up a a hanger, I think he said,
Ellis Taylor: Wi-Fi
Luke Neverisky: hard.
Christopher Hooper: Okay. A factory and a
Ali Leonard: a research center,
Tyram: right? a research center. Okay. And
Ali Leonard: too.
Tyram: uh what was the other thing? Like a temple or
Ellis Taylor: password.
Christopher Hooper: research. in the spaceport factory, the university research center and
Tyram: something. Okay. All right. And he said that we shouldn't stay here. We should go up to where we have like a a view of
Christopher Hooper: barracks. Two of
Ali Leonard: Yeah, cuz I think they're racist
Tyram: the spaceport district,
Christopher Hooper: these Yeah, he he said it was like a family establishment, which is a euphemism for
Ali Leonard: Yeah, they're
Tyram: right?
Ali Leonard: like they're not the good racist. There's now a connotation
Luke Neverisky: right?
Christopher Hooper: racist. Oh, really? That's what you
Ali Leonard: that's bad and we found that
Tyram: I have a hard time wrapping my head around bad
Christopher Hooper: meant? What do you mean by
Ali Leonard: out. It's hard to believe. It's hard to
Luke Neverisky: like an oxymoron or
Christopher Hooper: that?
Ali Leonard: believe.
Tyram: racists.
Christopher Hooper: like people who hate slow
Tyram: I guess like the in
Ali Leonard: something like
Tyram: universe equivalent of like real world races would be like species or
Luke Neverisky: something.
Christopher Hooper: people.
Ali Leonard: that. Yeah. I was trying to think. I'm like, it's technically a race, but it's not
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Ali Leonard: really
Tyram: something in a D and D setting where there's like elves and hobbits and s*** like it would be really weird to me if there were still people like uh black humans versus
Christopher Hooper: Did you
Ali Leonard: specifically. That's the
Tyram: white humans.
Luke Neverisky: Great.
Christopher Hooper: say?
Ali Leonard: only problem they
Tyram: Yeah,
Ali Leonard: have.
Tyram: I don't give a damn like what species you are, but you better have white
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah, it's It's still like color. It's
Tyram: skin.
Christopher Hooper: still skin
Tyram: Yeah, that'd be that'd be very weird in
Christopher Hooper: tones.
Ali Leonard: that shade of green. Get
Tyram: a setting like
Ali Leonard: out. Like Sherman Williams paint samples up and they're like, "No, too light. Get out.
Justin Hale: Not quite the
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Justin Hale: panone we were looking
Tyram: this. Oh, somebody beat me to it.
Luke Neverisky: the family guy one. Yeah, it's exactly what I thought
Tyram: Okay. Yeah.
Luke Neverisky: you said. Uh some
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Oh, it is recovering your
Justin Hale: for.
Tyram: Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: work. I don't
Ellis Taylor: file download
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: know. Let's take a little
Tyram: Would this be a good time for a bio break when Martha's dealing with her tech

Tyram: trouble? I believe
Ellis Taylor: my iPad screen and get a little more time out of it.
Christopher Hooper: break. Yeah. I'm surprised that
Tyram: in you.
Christopher Hooper: um I'm surprised it's not keeping up with just like um yeah, like a meat like this. You can also I I am actually doing voice on my phone. So I don't know if you want to do that
Ellis Taylor: I could do that. Maybe that'll charge it. I'll hang up and Well, I mean, I'm just doing I might be I might have to do voice and video on my phone because I think the
Christopher Hooper: instead. Yeah, this problem.

Justin Hale: person. Um yeah, I uh it was I think there was another band there too. I think it was four total, but it was uh Palifia, Avenge Sevenfold, and System of Down. Pifia was really good. Avenge Sevenfold was really bad. That was
Luke Neverisky: That sounds uh yeah, I would only stay
Justin Hale: uh very very sad.
Luke Neverisky: for that lineup. Well, I system down, I guess.
Justin Hale: That's the whole reason we went. It was a me, Toeer, and one of our other buddies from high school.
Luke Neverisky: But
Justin Hale: We all went for system of a
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, Polifia was definitely the one I left thinking like,
Luke Neverisky: nice.
Christopher Hooper: "Oh, I should listen to
Justin Hale: down. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: them." They were very good
Justin Hale: Yeah, they were really good.
Christopher Hooper: live. I thought the the fourth band was pretty good, too, but like not they were like

Tyram: Like read the blurbs with like a dramatic reading
Christopher Hooper: this.
Ali Leonard: ones now like dark romance
Tyram: voice. They're really fun. Like especially if like
Ali Leonard: novels. I was doing
Tyram: you like read it in a very serious

Luke Neverisky: Let's scan
Ali Leonard: Amish. A lot of Amish. A lot of
Tyram: like you
Ali Leonard: cowboy or like it was like the cowboy has one son. That was the name of it. What are we doing? That's the
Tyram: do.
Luke Neverisky: those. That
Ali Leonard: title.
Tyram: That is a pretty s*****
Luke Neverisky: is
Justin Hale: got a Christian romance. It's like you, me, and Jesus makes

Ali Leonard: like I just don't understand it. So, it's like when they're asking all these abbreviations,
Tyram: Noble.
Ali Leonard: I'm like I don't know what you're asking for.
Justin Hale: something.
Ali Leonard: But then the only the problem the thing that I haven't been able to deal with yet right now is the smell of some people is
Christopher Hooper: This little
Ali Leonard: surprising. Yeah. Like there were a lot of um there was a homeschool kid group today was not
Luke Neverisky: Goodbye.

Justin Hale: Where else are they going to do
Ali Leonard: homeschool thing. You shouldn't go to
Christopher Hooper: That's like antithetical
Ali Leonard: Barnes & Noble for
Christopher Hooper: to homeschooling in the first place,
Ali Leonard: that." Yeah. Right now, you're at
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Ali Leonard: Barnes & Noble. You're not at home.

Christopher Hooper: um, um, and with the noise of everything else, uh they kind of roll behind them as they're walking in and their their helmets start lighting up. Um and they're they start looking around frantically. Um they uh they look down and they see these these marbles and they they start looking at them and you see their goggles like go like lay out a like laser scan to scan the marble and says and puts it in a bag and um are you all moving?
Tyram: Yeah. While they're doing that, I want to kind of make my way over to the window and try to jimmy it open. And then

Tyram: I got my psychic dice. I might as well just use them. Yeah. Okay. It's a 20. It's a 30
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Okay. with that you um you figure out very quickly easy. Um if you need
Tyram: now.
Christopher Hooper: to move, that's going to buy you enough time and speed to be able to get anyone else. Um probably two people out the window with you if you
Tyram: Anybody have magic stuff on them? They'd rather not be

Tyram: found. I think I
Luke Neverisky: Oh, I mean
Tyram: already have everybody's weapons. I should

Ellis Taylor: I saw an outtake that the whole like um when Eme turns into a cat and her voice pitches down, the studio recording didn't tell that they were going to um Bertha that they were going to pitch her voice down for their voiding. So So that line of is that my voice? Is
Justin Hale: Crazy.
Ellis Taylor: that my voice? was her genuine reaction to hearing what they
Luke Neverisky: Oh,

Ellis Taylor: yeah. The sexy
Christopher Hooper: I yeah, so Sigfreed got this from his family. Um, one of the many properties that they own and it used to be, I don't know, kind of a a weird place. Um, I think it used to be like a love hotel. Um, but we turned it into like a little motel. Um, we do like medium to long-term rentals. Um, so we have a lot of like Jen families that that stay
Ellis Taylor: Okay. Okay. So, and you didn't think about rebranding or was that just kind of like part of the deal when you guys took
Christopher Hooper: here. It It's already well known in the
Ellis Taylor: over?
Christopher Hooper: city. And I mean, look at the stained glass. It's beautiful. It's one of my favorite
Ellis Taylor: Oh, tell us the story. I would love to
Christopher Hooper: stories. Oh. Um well uh it's a story about um a young prince that um one day he goes into this flock of peacocks and he
Ellis Taylor: hear.
Christopher Hooper: ends up dancing with them and he sees this one peacock that is the most beautiful. But then a sorcerer arrives and uh she points to the next window where the sorcerer dressed up like an owl arriving and she says and then the sorcerer has the peacocks all go into a dance and he loses track of the peacock that he was dancing with. And so, um, the next day he goes back to his palace and his mother says that he needs to marry someone at the ball that's coming up. And, well, um, they have a ball and he sees the same figure he saw from the night before um, show up. Um, but what he doesn't know is that the sorcerer has disguised his own daughter as the mysterious peacock. And so he dances and immediately asks her to marry him. But then he's tricked. Um and uh what he doesn't know is that the peacock that he had danced with has watching and she is heartbroken and she flies away into the forest. Um but he realizes what has happened. This is his mistake. So he heads into the forest and chases after him her and in the evening she becomes a human figure. They spend time together and then during the day he has to spend w time with his wife his new
Ellis Taylor: I know. I He's just saying Swan Lake. It's
Ali Leonard: My brain was literally like, "Oh, Barbie and Swan
Ellis Taylor: fine. I I I I I I Yeah. I
Christopher Hooper: wife.
Ali Leonard: Lake.
Ellis Taylor: clocked that her name was Odette and I was like, "Oh, I wonder if he's doing something with Swan Lake." Yes. I
Ali Leonard: not the
Ellis Taylor: was thinking more the the cartoon
Ali Leonard: Barbie
Ellis Taylor: that's got a little not the Barbie version. The one the
Christopher Hooper: That version is the one that
Ellis Taylor: actual the good
Christopher Hooper: is in the fairy tale story that my daughter has.
Ali Leonard: version. I
Ellis Taylor: one. Well, there's one that was on that we had
Christopher Hooper: So,
Ali Leonard: watched Yeah, I watched Barbie of Swan Lake with
Ellis Taylor: on VHS that I watched like
Ali Leonard: Maddie a lot. She loved Barbie of Swan
Ellis Taylor: crazy. shouldn't watch the good one because there's one there's a really funny one that's been like making its rounds again because the prince is like he's like will you marry me you're so beautiful and she's like yes well she's like I am what else he's like what else is
Ali Leonard: Lake. Oh, yeah. No, I remember
Ellis Taylor: there and then and that that that's a
Ali Leonard: that.
Ellis Taylor: yeah that and then like the butler's like you should get an award how to insult a woman in five words or less or something like
Christopher Hooper: That's pretty funny. Anyway,
Ellis Taylor: that.
Christopher Hooper: so we had there's the windows that tell the
Ellis Taylor: Yeah, that's a good
Christopher Hooper: story and I don't know, we could just call it the peacock, but everyone knows where it comes from. It's got a long history. We just kept it. I mean,
Ellis Taylor: one.
Christopher Hooper: whatever. It's going to be sexy and not be, you know,
Luke Neverisky: Is
Christopher Hooper: offensive or anything.
Ellis Taylor: I'm sure. I mean, re I mean, reclaim branding. I guess that the young girls are calling each
Luke Neverisky: this
Christopher Hooper: Oh,
Ellis Taylor: other b**** now. I guess I still find it offensive. I know. I still find it offensive, but that's what the youths are calling each other. They're saying they're reclaiming their femininity.
Christopher Hooper: really? Okay. Yeah. Well, um, that explains a lot why someone called me a bad b**** the other
Ellis Taylor: Sure.
Christopher Hooper: day. You think that was
Ali Leonard: Yeah, I think they meant it probably pretty
Ellis Taylor: Exactly.

Christopher Hooper: said yeah
Ali Leonard: This this one? Yeah. Yeah, that was

Tyram: saying Lady Viper needs a more stringent screening process for the people she brings
Ellis Taylor: them to have like

Tyram: later. He said he needed to get away from

Justin Hale: Yeah.
Tyram: Toothy. But yeah, he is living down to my expectations for

And um on both sides uh there's it looks like there's about um there's about three bedroom doors on on each side of it. So kind of like a square um the common room in the middle with the window on the far side and then on both sides of the common room there are three um bedroom doors. Um he says
Ellis Taylor: So, six bedrooms

Ellis Taylor: Oh god, no.
Christopher Hooper: no. Victor doesn't stay here.
Ali Leonard: Okay. He gets his
Tyram: Oh god, I was so worried for a
Christopher Hooper: He stayed here once and he ruined his
Ali Leonard: own
Luke Neverisky: Sounds
Ali Leonard: house. Yeah. No, that checks
Justin Hale: Yeah, that sounds
Christopher Hooper: room. So, don't do
Ali Leonard: out. Oh, yeah. In the
Justin Hale: about
Ellis Taylor: Oh, supply list. I forgot about
Luke Neverisky: right.
Ali Leonard: supply
Tyram: second.
Christopher Hooper: that. Anyway, hey, did you uh did you meet with George
Ali Leonard: list.
Justin Hale: right.
Ellis Taylor: that.
Christopher Hooper: already? Uh, did he tell you about any
Ali Leonard: Yeah. He told us to ask you about supplies. He does. And then he
Justin Hale: Yeah, he said he needed
Ali Leonard: said, "I don't know anything about
Ellis Taylor: I mean, his plan
Justin Hale: Okay.
Ellis Taylor: was fertilizer, but he wanted us to talk to
Christopher Hooper: nitrogen? Okay, you're supposed to get some some nitrogen for
Luke Neverisky: Mhm.
Christopher Hooper: me. That's what I have on the supplies list.
Ali Leonard: explosives." Yeah, he didn't say that.
Christopher Hooper: And
Ali Leonard: Great.
Tyram: So, we actually have a uh someone who's uh not to
Ellis Taylor: you.
Tyram: boast, a uh an explosive expert. Would you mind uh showing him what you're concocting and maybe he can like uh swap notes with
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, sure. I don't I don't understand this
Justin Hale: Yeah, show
Christopher Hooper: s***. And he sends you a
Ali Leonard: Oh, that's
Christopher Hooper: he like grabs a little ruffled piece of paper out of his pocket, hands it to you,
Ali Leonard: great.
Justin Hale: him.
Christopher Hooper: uh hands it, I guess, to you, Silus. Says, "Yeah, here you go."
Tyram: you?
Christopher Hooper: Um you open it and um it it
Luke Neverisky: All
Christopher Hooper: is on one side is a um it looks like the like a religious text um that's been a page that's been ripped out. And like on the margins are instructions that appear to be for making a bomb.
Luke Neverisky: right.
Christopher Hooper: And like, yeah, from what I can decipher,
Ali Leonard: Huh?
Christopher Hooper: we need like a pound of nitrogen, a pound of something else. Uh, I got some gunpowder or something. And then I needed to get like a cooking pot or something. I needed like five of those.
Ali Leonard: Excuse me for asking. Do you not make explosives very
Christopher Hooper: No, I don't. I just run this
Ali Leonard: often? Oh, okay. So, we were led to believe that you're an explosive
Christopher Hooper: place. What? Who told you
Ali Leonard: expert. Yeah. I mean, didn't George say, "Am I crazy?" Did you guys think
Christopher Hooper: that? George told you
Ali Leonard: that,
Justin Hale: All
Tyram: Man, honestly, if the choices between working with someone who doesn't know anything about explosives or having to deal with
Ali Leonard: too? Yeah. Okay. Well, so
Tyram: Victor some more, I'm actually glad this is the one we're going
Christopher Hooper: that.
Ali Leonard: we have someone here who is an explosives expert.
Justin Hale: right.
Tyram: with.
Christopher Hooper: Okay, great.
Ali Leonard: Um, yes, we brought that kind of with
Christopher Hooper: So, what George told you
[02:30:16]
Ali Leonard: us.
Christopher Hooper: is that Victor sent you a supply sent a supply list and instructions to
Ali Leonard: So, these
Christopher Hooper: toothy.
Ali Leonard: are Victor's instructions. Oh my god, Brew. Do we need all this stuff? What does Victor say?
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Ali Leonard: Like
Justin Hale: So, what is he trying to make? And can I decipher from the like list and probably random ramblings from Victor what he's actually
Tyram: I immediately like hand this
Justin Hale: making?
Tyram: off to Brew and kind of like wipe my hand off after I no
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, it looks
Justin Hale: No
Tyram: longer am touching the page.
Christopher Hooper: like someone who has kind of like ideiated about like fireworks and like uh like a pipe bomb like and just like combine the ideas with like very rough estim It's Yeah,
Justin Hale: boy. So no real
Christopher Hooper: it's like a, you know, an idea of a plan.
Justin Hale: plan,
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, there you
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Justin Hale: concepts of a plan.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Um, but I
Justin Hale: Um,
Christopher Hooper: think what it looks like is you have most of the components you need. Um, you
Luke Neverisky: go.
Christopher Hooper: probably it'll probably do if you there are some things that you could there's some other materials you could gather if you wanted to. For instance, you could get a timer
Justin Hale: okay.
Christopher Hooper: that's not on this. Um, so you don't want
Ali Leonard: He didn't say a
Christopher Hooper: this. Yeah. Um, it
Ali Leonard: timer. Oh my
Justin Hale: Can
Christopher Hooper: right now it's set. Yeah. Um,
Ali Leonard: god.
Justin Hale: we remotely?
Christopher Hooper: right now it's fairly small um and built on like building up pressure inside of a like pressure cooker pot. Um, so you could probably figure out some like you've already experimented with like violin explosions I believe. Um, which would be much bigger. Um, so there's stuff like that you could potentially um try to do. Um, but this would do some
Justin Hale: Clean.
Christopher Hooper: damage.
Justin Hale: Okay. I feel like we could figure out a better plan than whatever Victor is doing.
Tyram: I mean, that I feel that goes without saying. All right, Brew, you're now in charge of explosives for our uh our
Ali Leonard: Yeah. Yeah. You're now in charge of explosives.
Tyram: operation here.
Ali Leonard: It's new. You've now been
Justin Hale: So, wasn't I always
Tyram: I mean, officially, no. But I feel like, you know, like it I think
Ali Leonard: appointed. Oh, we were all up for
Tyram: we all knew it was going to end like this.
Ali Leonard: contention, though.
Tyram: Yeah. I mean, we were giving them we gave them their fair chance, you know, like we we followed we did our due diligence here, but yeah, we're we're we're going with
Ali Leonard: Close. One day I'll get the explosives promotion. It'll be
Tyram: Brew.
Christopher Hooper: It drives a
Tyram: I mean, hey, you
Christopher Hooper: car.
Tyram: actually like we probably need to come up with like a cool
Ali Leonard: me. Yeah, but I'm not going to be
Tyram: getaway car or something. Maybe you could be in charge of
Ali Leonard: explosives girl. I'll be getaway girl all
Tyram: that. Oh, for sure.
Christopher Hooper: Okay. So
Justin Hale: The the
Tyram: For
Christopher Hooper: is
Justin Hale: first part of becoming it is to manifest it. You got to say I will
Tyram: sure.
Ali Leonard: day. Explosives girl. Okay, I
Justin Hale: become explosive
Ali Leonard: will become explosives and getaway
Justin Hale: expert. There you
Tyram: That's the
Christopher Hooper: that
Ali Leonard: girl. Explosive
Justin Hale: go.
Tyram: attitude you need to
Justin Hale: Explosive gateway. Sure.
Tyram: succeed. Honestly, that sounds sick because like that could be your signature thing. Like
Ali Leonard: getaway. I'll work on
Tyram: we drive off with an explosion behind
Christopher Hooper: At this point, Truthy turns in and
Justin Hale: It's not
Tyram: us.
Christopher Hooper: says, "Oh, and uh the the supplies we already got, it's in your room." So, uh yeah, try to keep it there. We try to keep the
Ali Leonard: it.
Christopher Hooper: common area
Ali Leonard: Try to keep keep the explosives
Christopher Hooper: clean. Yes. And please clean up after
Ali Leonard: inside the
Justin Hale: bad.
Christopher Hooper: yourselves. All
Ali Leonard: bedroom. You really had an issue with Victor, didn't
Christopher Hooper: right.
Ali Leonard: he? He did a really bad job. Yeah. Sorry about
Justin Hale: I can't imagine
Tyram: I I don't know of an of any instance we've seen so far
Ali Leonard: that.
Justin Hale: why this is
Tyram: where Victor did a good job with
Christopher Hooper: Yes. Um
Ali Leonard: Yeah. Not
Tyram: something.
Christopher Hooper: you'll I think uh some other people are going to join you on
Ali Leonard: surprised.
Christopher Hooper: this mission. Um, you'll meet him in the morning after group breakfast if you want. Um, I'm going to head to my room. It's the first one on the left. Let me know if you have any questions, but please don't ask me any
Ali Leonard: Just
Justin Hale: I thought you were going to stop it. Please don't. I was like,
Tyram: really
Ali Leonard: please don't
Justin Hale: "Okay, got
Tyram: really begrudgingly offering that help there, huh, Toothy?
Ellis Taylor: Please, just please
Christopher Hooper: questions. Yeah. Yeah. It's uh I really don't know anything. So, it would be it'd be really great if you stopped assuming I knew
Tyram: You know what? You just worry about getting us
Christopher Hooper: anything. All
Tyram: some breakfast. Sound
Ellis Taylor: don't
Christopher Hooper: right, sounds good. All right,
Justin Hale: it.
Christopher Hooper: it's um
Ali Leonard: Sleep
Christopher Hooper: Well, yeah, I'm going to enjoy some tea in my room by
Ali Leonard: tight.
Tyram: fair?
Christopher Hooper: myself. So, uh, yeah, you know, um, turn off the light when you go to bed, I guess, or I don't care. Whatever. Heads up to his
Ali Leonard: Love the
Tyram: Should we go look at the supplies we already
Christopher Hooper: room. Yeah, they're in your room
Ali Leonard: attitude. Yeah, cuz otherwise
Christopher Hooper: as
Ali Leonard: it's going to blow up our
Tyram: have? Oh, Christ. You're probably right. Let's go. Let's go stop that from
Christopher Hooper: well. Do you find um, it looks like a fairly
Ali Leonard: room.
Tyram: happening.
Christopher Hooper: organized pile of supplies. Um, there's several
Justin Hale: probably.
Christopher Hooper: like pressure cooking pots that uh that latch a skew a spool of fuse wire. Um you
Ellis Taylor: and fuse
Christopher Hooper: see uh you see um some like
Ali Leonard: Speed.
Christopher Hooper: uh it looks like they've collected various sources of um of like gunpowder in various forms. So, like
Ellis Taylor: wire.
Christopher Hooper: there's unopened boxes of fireworks. There's um a few piles of like mining uh like dynamite sticks. Um and just kind of like in a crate that you're able to open up. Um and that's it. And then you have your two beds and um some pajamas and the uh armwires of various sizes. Looks like you could find a size for each each one of these if you wanted to. Um the pajamas are like nice. Um they're flannel pajamas. Um seem to be all winter. Uh the linens are cotton um and with that nice thick comforter. Um it is it's pretty warm in here, especially without a window. There's not much of a there's not much of draft or anything. So um especially you can notice as you're as you're in here, it starts to get stuffy. And uh yeah, that's it.
Justin Hale: All
Tyram: Okay. So, since Okay, we'll try to get the Twilight Company to like give us maybe intel and stuff as we need it. But, okay. We need to figure out how to get into these facilities. Brew needs to make us some kickass
Justin Hale: right.
Tyram: bombs and we need to figure out how to get out. And
Ali Leonard: Hey,
Tyram: I'm assuming you guys are going to want us to like try to like get any civilians out of the area
Ali Leonard: I wouldn't mind
Tyram: if we can. Yeah, I mean that's that seems like the the right thing to do. I I'll I'll we should do that. And uh then we blow the f****** things
Ali Leonard: that. Cool. Easy
Tyram: up. All right, so phase one is scouting out these places, gathering any information we can, and figuring out how we're getting
Luke Neverisky: Yeah,
Christopher Hooper: Um, and with that, um,
Ali Leonard: enough.
Justin Hale: Sounds like a
Tyram: in.
Christopher Hooper: I think, uh, that's where the content ends for the night. And, uh, we'll call it we'll call it the
Ali Leonard: We did
Luke Neverisky: just did
Christopher Hooper: end.
Ali Leonard: it. We solved your
Luke Neverisky: it.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. My
Justin Hale: plane.
Christopher Hooper: pizzas. What is this
Tyram: Yep. We ate at Chili's.
Ali Leonard: puzzle. You didn't think we would decipher that menu. And we did
Tyram: We avoided some Gapo guys and we
Christopher Hooper: buttons?
Ali Leonard: it.
Tyram: uh we made it into the
Christopher Hooper: That's all you get. You got uh and you reunited with George, your
Ali Leonard: Oh yeah, we did do
