Tyram: mission? That was when we went to Chili's.
Luke Neverisky: mission.
Christopher Hooper: to? Uh the stats say he was there.
Luke Neverisky: I was there. That's
Tyram: Basically, we
Luke Neverisky: right. I remember that. Yeah.
Tyram: just we met with George and he told us all the places we need to go blow up. Okay. Um so, uh we spent
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Yep. That's
Tyram: the last two sessions basically visiting one of the places we need to blow up. Um it's a u a spacecraft factory and there's like this big furnace we need to blow the
Luke Neverisky: right.
Tyram: f******. Uh, we managed to get in, get the key, and uh, like
Luke Neverisky: Love
Tyram: scope the place out. And, uh, Ally made friends with a bunch of, uh, Nazis.
Ali Leonard: That is not proven. That
Tyram: A bunch of suspected
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. They're just
Luke Neverisky: it.
Justin Hale: It's
Ali Leonard: is not
Christopher Hooper: Eldorans.
Luke Neverisky: Okay.
Justin Hale: not
Ali Leonard: proven. The guy The guy from the mechanic shop was definitely not a
Tyram: Nazis. Okay, he's cool. He's cool. But like all the people in the factory are like
Ali Leonard: Nazi. We're going to all hang out and talk about
Tyram: at the very least they're like, you know, citizens in a fascist
Ali Leonard: mechanics. They're
Tyram: state. That's undeniably
Justin Hale: not
Ali Leonard: normal citizens that don't know what's going on. They're just happy
Tyram: true. All I'm saying is if they knew you were a dwarf, would
Ali Leonard: for a day
Tyram: they have still hung out with you? That's an interesting question we need
Ali Leonard: off. We don't know that. I will never
Tyram: answered.
Christopher Hooper: Well, y'all have seen other races at the
Luke Neverisky: People have questions.
Ali Leonard: know that.
Tyram: Yeah, but mostly they're like in like medial labor tasks and like just like uh
Christopher Hooper: city.
Tyram: they there's they're clearly on the lower rung of the totem pole,
Christopher Hooper: Oh, well, yeah, but maybe that's just because they haven't worked their way up, you know, by their bootstraps, you
Tyram: right? I suspect that's not the reason, but
Luke Neverisky: Who's
Tyram: um Oh, but yeah. Either way though, Ally has
Christopher Hooper: know?
Justin Hale: It could
Tyram: a lunch date tomorrow while the factory is going to be closed and um okay. So, you're meeting the
Luke Neverisky: something
Ali Leonard: a brunch date. It's
Tyram: Tony people at like the crack of dawn or something,
Christopher Hooper: Well, yeah,
Luke Neverisky: like
Ali Leonard: brunch. We're meeting 7 a.m. with the
Christopher Hooper: right. But the birthday party's at
Luke Neverisky: Wait,
Ali Leonard: Tony people and then I'm meeting
Luke Neverisky: does does the lady Viper person know that you're going on a date without
Ali Leonard: my
Tyram: right? Sorry. Say
Luke Neverisky: her? Does Lady Viper know you're going on a date without
Ali Leonard: lunch.
Tyram: again. It's a social gathering. It's not a date.
Luke Neverisky: her?
Justin Hale: Hey, heat.
Ali Leonard: What? It's not a date. It's not a date. It's
Tyram: Yeah. Yeah, it
Christopher Hooper: lunchtime. Mhm.
Luke Neverisky: Ah, okay. Very
[00:23:40]
Ali Leonard: definitely friends. We're work. We're work
Tyram: is. Is this completely platonic, so Lady Viper should be cool with
Luke Neverisky: good. Okay,
Tyram: it. Um Oh, we did see Commander Steel, your dread
Luke Neverisky: cool.
Justin Hale: for
Tyram: arch nemesis, um at the factory. We kind of just like saw him like talk to a
Luke Neverisky: All right. So, it's gonna be like
Justin Hale: now.
Ali Leonard: friends.
Tyram: guy. We didn't actually hear the conversation, then he left. But yeah, he was there. Just thought you'd want to
Luke Neverisky: that.
Tyram: know. Um, and uh, yeah, it turns out
Luke Neverisky: Oh, I do
Tyram: the factory is going to be closed tomorrow, so we're going to try to blow it up then so we don't kill all of Alli's new Nazi friends. And um, right now we are taking a walking tour of the soldier barracks. Um, we're disguised as Mattalineesque French orphans. Um although Justin does still have his Colonel Sanders uh uh
Luke Neverisky: want
Tyram: disguise combined with that, you know, like you do when you're trying to be
Justin Hale: That's right,
Tyram: inconspicuous, of course. And
Luke Neverisky: Of
Tyram: um either uh Scarlet or um Ellswith is like our uh our our
Ali Leonard: Take
Tyram: nun escort lady. Who was the name of the person from Medaline? Like Sister Mary Clarence or something like
Justin Hale: baby.
Ali Leonard: that.
Tyram: that? That's probably not right.
Christopher Hooper: Oh.
Luke Neverisky: course.
Christopher Hooper: Uh, Scarlet was uh your
Luke Neverisky: Uh
Tyram: Okay. Okay. And we saw
Christopher Hooper: um your nun. That's
Ali Leonard: It's and then I was a
Tyram: George and that's where we left
Luke Neverisky: So, George. Okay,
Christopher Hooper: right. Yes. So, um, let's pick up where we left off, um, which is you,
Ali Leonard: guardian.
Tyram: off.
Christopher Hooper: um, have you're basically right outside the barracks compound right now. So, what you see, um, in front of you is
Luke Neverisky: cool.
Christopher Hooper: a like highwalled, uh, like brick, you know, fence wall. And um there is uh what you see is like a you see kind of like a classic iron um metal gate, but you can tell there's a blue shimmer to it as
Ali Leonard: Sorry.
Christopher Hooper: it opens and closes as uh vehicles are going in and
Ali Leonard: Watch.
Christopher Hooper: out. Uh something noted last time is the road in and out is um this like glowing blue uh
Ali Leonard: How you doing?
Christopher Hooper: like levitation platform and you see vehicles moving rapidly on top of it basically like a mag lev uh train style um where they're just kind of like skating across it. Um, and uh, something they didn't mention is you had just seen a group of prisoners who were manicled and had bags over their head being escorted into the barracks. Um, and they were being uh, you can imagine the barracks is very large. Um, the whole compound takes up like several city blocks. Um, and so you see the prisoners heading um the the barracks kind of makes a U around a central courtyard. Um, and so you could see the prisoners heading off into um the entrance to the right and the last thing you see was George coming in uh the far
Tyram: Hot Amazing.
Christopher Hooper: side from the left. Um, And at this point uh the group uh we will say um for expediency sake um uh Helisana has left her
Tyram: I told
Christopher Hooper: um her meatloaf uh cart uh that she was helping Scarlet with and has rejoined the group. Um and uh to
Tyram: him
Christopher Hooper: um to uh mark that transition um y'all all are on psychic phone uh conference call and so one thing uh I want to ask you Luke is your disguise. So I've told you that they're running like a orphan tour of the barracks. This is the the current
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Um, okay. So, an orphan disguise. Um,
Tyram: It's
Luke Neverisky: I'm thinking so a kid like
Christopher Hooper: ploy.
Luke Neverisky: maybe like eight or something. Um, and uh, let's do an eye patch. And um, could a disguise do something like a prosthetic leg? Would that be
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Yeah. Because I mean basically it would still be it it would be like a wrap like a wrap around your existing like
Luke Neverisky: disguisable? Right. Yeah. Okay. So, yeah, let's do an eye patch, raggedy clothes, um, and a prosthetic leg that
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Luke Neverisky: doesn't like it's a pathetic looking excuse for a prosthetic leg. Um
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Is it
Luke Neverisky: extra extra pity kind of going into this.
Christopher Hooper: like it looks like maybe you homemade it from like street
Luke Neverisky: Um Oh
Christopher Hooper: material? Okay. Okay.
Luke Neverisky: yeah yeah yeah absolutely. This is homework for
Christopher Hooper: So, we've got like, you know, maybe like a piece of lumber and like
Luke Neverisky: sure. And uh yeah a bunch of just halfhazard things
Christopher Hooper: maybe Okay. All
Luke Neverisky: that resembles a lake kind of. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: right. So, you've got that disguised around you. Uh the saddest the saddest orphan um catches up with uh the group here. Uh, Scarlet says, "Oh, it looks like we have our final orphan before we um start our tour." Um, and uh, what what is your name, little one? And she looks at you, Luke. Uh, it's like then in your mind says, "Oh, s***. We should we should probably like come up with like names for orphans." So, or or at least like the name of the orphanage or what we call ourselves like the penguins or something.
Luke Neverisky: The
Tyram: St. Olaf's home for abandoned
Christopher Hooper: Oh, and
Tyram: youth.
Christopher Hooper: and uh My Little Snowman.
Tyram: I mean, sure.
Christopher Hooper: Maybe Little Olaf. Is that what
Luke Neverisky: penguins.
Tyram: I guess they I mean, they is that like supposed to be like an affectionate nickname? I guess that
Christopher Hooper: you
Tyram: could be whatever you want. Sure.
Christopher Hooper: said? I don't know. Oh. a lot of uh when I was in in middle school um each of the classes had like an animal for the class name and so there were like the tigers and the lions and the penguins and the monkeys. Um and it was a good way for us to like
Tyram: You know, not
Christopher Hooper: differentiate the classes. So that that's that's why I was driving on
Tyram: to make this a classism thing, but not all of us went to
Christopher Hooper: here. Oh. Oh, really? They don't have school where you come
Tyram: school. I mean, sort of. Not
Luke Neverisky: Well, some of
Tyram: really. I feel like a goblin school would have to
Christopher Hooper: from. Oh,
Tyram: just be detrimental, right? Like going to goblin school would make you dumber for
Luke Neverisky: us that's not true
Justin Hale: Think it was
Christopher Hooper: wow. Wait, did any of you go to
Justin Hale: terrible.
Christopher Hooper: school? Oh,
Justin Hale: Goblin. We went to goblin school.
Tyram: sure.
Christopher Hooper: okay. So, you know what I'm talking about. through. Oh, what about you, Liliana? Did you Did you go to
Luke Neverisky: on. Yeah, we went to I went I went to school. It was so much fun. Um, learning is great. Uh, my teachers were awesome and we didn't go on many
Tyram: Liliana seems like she'd be a
Christopher Hooper: school? Yeah. Yeah, you
Luke Neverisky: field trips in
Tyram: total teacher's pet.
Christopher Hooper: know exactly what I'm talking about.
Justin Hale: No.
Tyram: Yeah.
Luke Neverisky: Old. Yeah, that's what I'm going for. Um, so I can't really offer any, you know, as far as like um what we should call ourselves on a field trip, but I like the sound of the
Christopher Hooper: Wait. Okay. So, Elit, did you go to
Luke Neverisky: penguins.
Ali Leonard: Olivia made me, but it was like I was also driving, so it was
Tyram: They were like that student
Ali Leonard: like on the course
Tyram: athlete track where like it's just a formality.
Christopher Hooper: school? Wait. Okay. So,
Ali Leonard: school. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: only Silus has not gone to school
Ali Leonard: Yeah. I mean, he's
Christopher Hooper: before. Oh, you
Luke Neverisky: He's
Ali Leonard: street street taught the the streets taught
Christopher Hooper: went you went to what
Tyram: went to the school of hard knocks. That's
Christopher Hooper: is it? Uh, the hard knock hard school of hard
Ali Leonard: him. School of hard knocks.
Tyram: damn
Christopher Hooper: knocks. That's what I always think of when I think of you, Lith. School
Luke Neverisky: smart.
Christopher Hooper: of hard
Justin Hale: So, so
Ali Leonard: Okay. Well, I went to a very prestigious hybrid
Christopher Hooper: knocks.
Justin Hale: everyone So, did you you
Ali Leonard: school, but
Tyram: right.
Justin Hale: all learned to raise and simultaneously kill
Tyram: All
Justin Hale: chickens? That's what school
Ali Leonard: fine.
Tyram: right. See, this is what I mean about Goblin School. I feel like
Justin Hale: is.
Ali Leonard: Me? Oh, yeah. So,
Tyram: I didn't really learn anything in True Value.
Ali Leonard: different So, we had different education levels. For sure. For sure. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Um yeah, at our monastery school we killed chickens
Ali Leonard: Yeah,
Christopher Hooper: and we built our own huts
Ali Leonard: you f****** would have gone a monastery
Tyram: What the f*** was going on at your monastery
Christopher Hooper: and
Luke Neverisky: Never check
Ali Leonard: school. You and all
Tyram: school?
Luke Neverisky: it.
Ali Leonard: the wooden blocks and using power of
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, us Kids. built a whole
Ali Leonard: thought. I don't know.
Christopher Hooper: society. They had a whole hierarchical structure and
Ali Leonard: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: everything. And we smeared chicken blood. Oh,
Justin Hale: We had we had society. We
Ali Leonard: Yeah. That sounds right. Did
Justin Hale: Yeah. We We raise chickens. We kill the chickens and then we then we go and work in the
Ali Leonard: you? And then you eat the chicken. You didn't eat the chickens. You just killed
Justin Hale: mines. Uh we would if if
Christopher Hooper: good.
Justin Hale: the elders let us eat the rest of the chickens. Sometimes we would get bones with
Ali Leonard: them.
Justin Hale: still meat on them. They usually let chickens come into mines with us to let us know if it was safe. If the chicken died, then we'd have to
Ali Leonard: This was all on the
Tyram: You've heard of chickens in
Justin Hale: leave. It's a whole thing.
[00:33:40]
Tyram: the coal mine,
Ali Leonard: turtle. Do we have to save the
Tyram: right? The
Christopher Hooper: I don't I don't think so.
Justin Hale: Yeah. No, it's a
Tyram: goblins have one of the dragon orbs we got to go after
Justin Hale: it's
Ali Leonard: goblins? Okay, we'll check it out.
Tyram: eventually.
Luke Neverisky: That's what I
Justin Hale: School is not very long. You graduate at the
Ali Leonard: We'll vibe check it when we get
Justin Hale: age of
Ali Leonard: there. Why are the children working in the
Christopher Hooper: Right.
Luke Neverisky: Thank
Justin Hale: four because the children yearn for the
Ali Leonard: mines? Okay. I mean, I'll check it out when I get there for
Justin Hale: mind. Children children are smaller than than normal goblins,
Ali Leonard: safety.
Justin Hale: which is it's pretty small. So they have to get in tight crevices to
Ali Leonard: Get into the tight
Luke Neverisky: you.
Justin Hale: get the best to get get best minerals in small
Ali Leonard: crevices. You don't have to dig as
Luke Neverisky: You didn't
Justin Hale: spaces. Sometimes they get stuck. Sometimes you just kind of patch
Luke Neverisky: learn. You didn't learn
Justin Hale: the hole where the kid went in and forget about
Luke Neverisky: about like color and the alphabet and
Justin Hale: it.
Luke Neverisky: no
Justin Hale: H color is
Ali Leonard: much
Justin Hale: not important. Alphabet I learn on my own later.
Ali Leonard: numbers. Do you know how to read? You know how to
Justin Hale: Yeah, I do. Most others
Ali Leonard: read. Oh god, we got to save the
Luke Neverisky: numbers.
Justin Hale: don't. They don't mean
Ali Leonard: goblins. Add to the quest list. They need a white savior. Let's go do
Tyram: Wow. Dumbling down on the the
Ali Leonard: it. I'm learning
Tyram: casual racism this
Ali Leonard: a lot from my friends. I'm on a chat. I'm on a text chat with
Tyram: week.
Christopher Hooper: Well, You will never guess about goblin
Justin Hale: to. So So really
Ali Leonard: them.
Justin Hale: racist. So really racist in our our
Tyram: You thought it was a
Luke Neverisky: Okay.
Justin Hale: universe really meant both
Tyram: joke, but it is actually the total correct term this whole
Christopher Hooper: school.
Luke Neverisky: Oh my
Ali Leonard: No, no, no.
Tyram: time. Who would have expected
Ali Leonard: E stroke, but I will save the
Tyram: such bigotry from a
Ali Leonard: goblins.
Tyram: racist?
Justin Hale: things.
Ali Leonard: Well, we're all learning and
Christopher Hooper: Um, at this point,
Luke Neverisky: god.
Ali Leonard: growing.
Christopher Hooper: um, at this point, you see,
Luke Neverisky: Yep.
Christopher Hooper: uh, George is, uh, he seems to be running, um, with a a squadron. Um, they appear to be doing laps around the complex. Um, and Scarlet turns to Elizabeth. uh in in person it says okay um so we're about ready for the tour I think um you have a way inside
Ali Leonard: Yeah, sure. Um, I'm a very experienced guard and I know how to give a tour to children. Let's take these children on a tour of barracks. I don't know. This is a great
Tyram: I don't know. I figured they'd like they want to like
Christopher Hooper: right
Ali Leonard: idea.
Tyram: make impressionable youth want to join the army. That seems like a pretty plausible
Ali Leonard: Yeah, we're starting young and
Tyram: thing. Yeah, we are we are
Ali Leonard: they're orphans. Let's do
Tyram: part of this uh pipeline to be
Ali Leonard: it. Yeah, we started a new program and if
Tyram: sure.
Ali Leonard: they're probably going to adapt it into a real program after we
Tyram: Well, s***. Oh, well, hold on.
Ali Leonard: leave. Okay.
Tyram: This place is This place is beyond our capacity to mess up. They're already pretty f****** awful. The
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Okay.
Ali Leonard: Well, yeah, they're pretty bad.
Tyram: ship has sailed on this place being a like fascist
Christopher Hooper: All
Ali Leonard: Okay, let's um what we just have to kind of we're looking and then in my mind space I'm like we're looking
Tyram: dystopia. Well, we should check in
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Ali Leonard: for a good place to place a bomb, right? That's what we're
Tyram: with George. He probably knows where he he has a probably has a spot in mind. I'm
Ali Leonard: doing. He is running around. So, we might he might have to kind of catch
Christopher Hooper: right.
Ali Leonard: my eye. I don't know. Does he have a fake
Tyram: guessing what if one of us fakes an injury so he could like step aside and be like, "Oh,
Ali Leonard: name here? Do we know that?
Tyram: I'll help him." Or, you
Luke Neverisky: Wait, I can just message
Ali Leonard: Oh yeah,
Tyram: know, I guess we
Luke Neverisky: him
Ali Leonard: that's probably
Tyram: could
Justin Hale: Before you before you say
Ali Leonard: smarter. Can you feel about the
Justin Hale: that, I pull out my staff and I knecap Ellswith. Like as you're
Ali Leonard: magic? Damn
Justin Hale: saying, we could message him. I just I just blast the s*** out of Elizabeth's
Ali Leonard: it. Oh, damn it. Then I'm doing the like Peter Griffin like grabbing my
Luke Neverisky: Sorry.
Ali Leonard: knee
Christopher Hooper: Um, cool. Yeah. You want to message
Tyram: No. No. Let's see if the entry thing works. We
Christopher Hooper: George?
Tyram: already did it. We might as well see if it
Christopher Hooper: Um, so to
Justin Hale: name. We're We're already here. We're already
Tyram: works.
Christopher Hooper: lay some context, you're like in a street in front of the
Justin Hale: here.
Christopher Hooper: complex, like not even in the gate yet, and a
Ali Leonard: like Yep.
Christopher Hooper: you know, just an orphan has like punched the knee of
Ali Leonard: Yep.
Christopher Hooper: a of a guard who's like,
Tyram: What part of that was confusing?
Christopher Hooper: "Ah." And
Ali Leonard: Yeah, it kind of
Christopher Hooper: um and uh basically everyone is just like at this point kind of giving you space and minding their own f******
Ali Leonard: hurts. Yeah, cuz they think I'm going to kill a
Tyram: Yeah. Do you guys
Luke Neverisky: Okay, that didn't
Justin Hale: Listen,
Ali Leonard: child.
Tyram: guess what? Let
Justin Hale: there's no bad plans. That one didn't work. What's the next
Tyram: me try the other
Christopher Hooper: business.
Justin Hale: one? All
Ali Leonard: But also, Liliana, be
Tyram: knee. Oh, that's right. They have
Luke Neverisky: work. You be careful

Ali Leonard: advertise that before that you buy stuff that you have to eat in out here.
Justin Hale: Right. Hey, uh, really quickly, does everyone have a tattoo
Tyram: I believe
Luke Neverisky: Go. Oh. Um, I don't know. Would it be an item or I guess how how were people tracking
Justin Hale: infusion? Um, it's a it's a single use level one spell. Um, so you could add it as like a
Luke Neverisky: it.
Justin Hale: custom action if you wanted
Luke Neverisky: Okay, let's see.
Justin Hale: to, but I can I can do it once a day. So, uh, I I cleaned up my D and D prep stuff. I'm trying to be better at
Luke Neverisky: Nice.
Justin Hale: it.
Ali Leonard: What level are we supposed to be?
Luke Neverisky: Um, what a
Justin Hale: 11. Yeah. You're only 10, aren't you? So
Luke Neverisky: noob.
Ali Leonard: Oh, well, that's
Tyram: Oh, you never leveled up. That was like a month
Justin Hale: unprepared.
Ali Leonard: me. I never leveled up. Yeah, that was a while
Tyram: ago. Did you get any cool s*** from level 11?
Ali Leonard: ago. Um, I can't decide if I want to level up our paladin. have to see what's kind of going on on that
Tyram: Paladin, you would get a
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Okay.
Ali Leonard: one and
Tyram: feat and then actually you get a feat for either since they're both like it'd be like eight and three or seven and four. So you get a feat either way. So it's kind of a good point. Although the
Ali Leonard: before and three seven and
Tyram: paladin thing might give you more HP, but then again also the uh artificer thing might give you like more spell slot
Ali Leonard: four
Christopher Hooper: Are you really a paladin
Ali Leonard: I mean, I'm a little
Christopher Hooper: though? I think you're
Ali Leonard: bit and literally that's what I am. I'm
Tyram: progression. Are you paladin shaming
Christopher Hooper: G. I
Ali Leonard: literally a little
Tyram: Ally right
Christopher Hooper: think I'm just saying that I feel like it's a little
Ali Leonard: bit.

Christopher Hooper: use All right. Um, we gotta we got to go in the balcony. We can't watch in the
Tyram: it. It's okay, sir. We know that we're a pariah
Christopher Hooper: the main floor. So, gotta head up the
Ali Leonard: Yeah. Yeah. Of course. Of course. Of course.
Tyram: and no one wants to look at us.
Christopher Hooper: stairs. Okay. Good. Good.
Luke Neverisky: as long
Ali Leonard: All
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Um, but it's it's a good show.
Luke Neverisky: as you
Christopher Hooper: And, uh, he leads you up to the balcony seats into um, like the true nosebleleeds.
Ali Leonard: right.
Christopher Hooper: Um and uh yeah, the the concert hall is is um filling up pretty well. It's um uh it's actually got a decent amount of soldiers and um filing in our Um, You then see prisoners filing in and uh it looks like they are getting filed into like the lower floor front of the concert hall and um you then see uh coming in on the stage the musicians uh they are filing onto the stage. They um anyone who wants to can give me like a perception check or if if there's anything you're looking for in
Justin Hale: You know
Ali Leonard: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: particular uh you can let me know
Tyram: Oh. Um, I got a
Justin Hale: it plus 10. Where's my spinny
Tyram: 23.
Christopher Hooper: too. Uh and are you doing
Justin Hale: boy?
Tyram: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: perception? Okay. Wow. Some
Luke Neverisky: Thank
Tyram: Perception.
Christopher Hooper: high high 20s going on. 24 for Liliana. Okay.
Luke Neverisky: you.
Justin Hale: 27 or we put them in
Christopher Hooper: Um, no, you don't have to. Um,
Justin Hale: chat.
Christopher Hooper: so Brew, um, something you see, uh, there are, um, you kind of see that
Justin Hale: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: there are, um, guards that kind of like have encircled the prisoners like together. You do notice that it looks like um the musicians uh seem to be like civilian clothes. Um and you don't see any guards with them. Um uh Silus, you notice that um you can kind of see in the demeanor of the musicians, uh it's it's a little stoic, a little um like they seem to all be coming in in a very orchestrated way, in a very like um like uh I zombie come is what comes to mind, but it's like it's very much kind of like synchronized in a very like like wo kind of way.
Tyram: like a like a North Korean marching band type of thing or
Christopher Hooper: Um, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A bit like that. Um, and you see
Tyram: like
Christopher Hooper: that they seem to have like kind of vacant eyes. Liliana, even though you had a perception check that was less because of your background in music, um something that you notice is that um you kind of notice that it looks like you kind of see the uh So, Brew, one thing you picked up on from the prisoners is they were a lot of nonhumans. And you see that also with the musicians coming up on stage. Liliana, something you notice is um you kind of notice like uh some of the more tail signs of like musicians like the calloused fingers of somes the um like I don't know. I feel like musicians tend to have kind of like a like thin but like not muscly kind of like almost almost like I want to say like geeky type of like uh like body in the way that they are like very um like I don't know. I feel like I've gone to a a co orchestra concert and they have a very they tend to be like thin and um like lean in a way. Um if y'all can catch my drift and you're and you kind of notice that not only the musicians but the prisoners as well even in their like somewhat diverse backgrounds. And you notice that the the musicians are fairly diverse too as opposed to the soldiers. Um and uh something kind of naws on you this like actually Leiana give me a um give me either a religion or
Luke Neverisky: Uh, it's going to be inside
Christopher Hooper: insight.
Luke Neverisky: and it's a 23.
Christopher Hooper: 23. Um, so like something that is would be very very clear to Lyanna is the effect of music on people like you've seen it with Helisana that she like made a almost mindless like um like indoctrinated um like city from her music. you've seen in your own music how you've been able to like reestablish uh Luna as like a religious presence through your music and you are kind of wondering like is that what this is that what is about to happen is that they are trying to use like musicians here as a conduit for establishing
Luke Neverisky: Mhm.
[01:23:40]
Christopher Hooper: like rel religious fervor and following
Luke Neverisky: Yikes. Okay. Um Um guys, I don't know if we should actually listen to this. It's It's giving me like uh It's giving me a hell of a ton of creepy vibes Like, can we plug her ears or
Tyram: Oh, good call. Um, do we have any like uh like like wax we could stuff in our ears Odyssey style?
Justin Hale: here. Yeah, I just pull out like
Ali Leonard: If if I scream in the mine trap, can anybody hear it?
Luke Neverisky: something?
Ali Leonard: Like, could you hear over me screaming in the mine
Christopher Hooper: You mean in like your your mind
Justin Hale: a I think air plugs is fine.
Ali Leonard: trap? I don't know. I think that'd be kind of
Justin Hale: Um, I'm going to pull out a uh a jar of basically like the
Ali Leonard: fun.
Justin Hale: paste that I use uh to set remote charges
Christopher Hooper: Telephone.
Justin Hale: like to stick them on the wall here. Use
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Justin Hale: this is earplug. It take a little bit to get out, but it it'll
Tyram: Okay. Well, uh, might as well. Okay. So, I'm
Justin Hale: work. It's fine.
Tyram: gonna Yeah. Stuff me.
Luke Neverisky: Yep.
Ali Leonard: Okay. But discreetly. Do it
Tyram: Um. Oh, do I need a roll slide of hand or something to do it
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Do you all want to give me a uh slide of hands as
Ali Leonard: discreetly.
Tyram: discreetly? Could I do it to everyone then since I I'm I'm going
Christopher Hooper: you're all doing it?
Tyram: to go on a limb and say I have the best slide of
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Um I think I'm going to ask for everyone to do their own side of hand. I think you pass it out, but I think um it would be difficult to like apply uh to everyone um before the concert
Luke Neverisky: Sir. Okay.
Justin Hale: Oh, You want us to do what?
Tyram: hand. Uh
Christopher Hooper: starts.
Justin Hale: Slide a
Tyram: 23
Christopher Hooper: Yep. 23. Liliana for 24
Justin Hale: hand.
Ali Leonard: Oh yeah yeah
Christopher Hooper: and not 20 for 24 on that. Uh 16.
Luke Neverisky: Yes,
Justin Hale: 16.
Ali Leonard: yeah. What's my slide of hand 16 as
Christopher Hooper: Okay. All right. All right. Um, so pretty good roll group check. Um, I think we will
Ali Leonard: well?
Christopher Hooper: need a uh a Scarlet
Luke Neverisky: sir.
Justin Hale: Yep.
Tyram: Can somebody give Scarlet guidance or
Ali Leonard: Uh,
Justin Hale: New fleshy
Ali Leonard: yeah, I can give her guidance or Yeah, that's what I
Christopher Hooper: then. Uh, cool. Great. Cuz
Ali Leonard: meant. I don't have
Tyram: something?
Christopher Hooper: she rolled a nine. um a nine total. Okay, cool. So, with that flash of genius, um
Justin Hale: genus. Flash a
Ali Leonard: guidance.
Christopher Hooper: that'll get her high enough where you're all able to very discreetly
Justin Hale: genus.
Christopher Hooper: um a little bit uh between Liliana and um and Silus, you're able to like distract um uh Donald um the like while the others are like applying their their their ear plugs. Um and
Ali Leonard: Oh, good.
Christopher Hooper: uh and he you know whispered was like this is going to be this honestly the first time I heard this it changed my life. Um you're
Ali Leonard: I'm so
Christopher Hooper: in for a treat. And then as you're applying the the
Ali Leonard: excited.
Christopher Hooper: the ear plugs. It gets more and more muffled. Um and then it starts up. Um and you hear this like incredibly in tune. It's almost like jarring how like synchron synchronized the the music is like
Luke Neverisky: Yay.
Christopher Hooper: the way everyone is on the beat uh with the orchestra. Um and um why don't you all give me a um charisma saving throw with
Tyram: Oh, I guess Olivia is not anywhere near us to give us the the Paladin buff, right? Damn
Christopher Hooper: advantage.
Ali Leonard: She's in the pee hole.
Tyram: it.
Christopher Hooper: Unfortunately,
Ali Leonard: I got double 17s. How crazy is
Christopher Hooper: Tara got 17.
Luke Neverisky: That's pretty a bard on a charisma. Hang on. That's going to be a lot
Christopher Hooper: Oh. All
Ali Leonard: that?
Christopher Hooper: right. Are you rolling with advantage,
Luke Neverisky: point. Oh,
Justin Hale: Yeah. Ah,
Christopher Hooper: Liliana?
Luke Neverisky: actually, do I have some sort of Oh, that wasn't with advantage. Okay, never mind. So, I got an
Justin Hale: better. So,
Christopher Hooper: All right.
Luke Neverisky: 18.
Justin Hale: you're 18 would be
Tyram: Okay. I got
Christopher Hooper: Cool. So, did anyone get lower than a
Justin Hale: Yeah.
Tyram: exactly a
Christopher Hooper: 16? All right.
Justin Hale: Hey, is
Tyram: 16.
Justin Hale: 16 pass? Because I need to flash a genius to pass
Christopher Hooper: Nice. 16 is the DC. So, 16
Justin Hale: it.
Christopher Hooper: passes if you got it. Is that what you
Justin Hale: Okay. All
Tyram: I like to think
Christopher Hooper: got? Oh, okay.
Justin Hale: right. I had to flash a genius. Yeah, I got a
Tyram: your flash of genius is like, "Wait a minute. I just stuffed wax in my ear so that I
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Tyram: wouldn't listen to
Justin Hale: 12. All
Ali Leonard: Hey, you
Tyram: this.
Christopher Hooper: I like to think that like your flash of genius was to add to Elfish like like mind phone. Um and
Ali Leonard: idiot. You were actually being just like suaded by mine singing into
Christopher Hooper: uh
Justin Hale: right.
Ali Leonard: the mind space. You're like, "Oh, wow. That's
Christopher Hooper: and something you see during the concert is you start to see first the musicians like eyes light up this like blazing. It almost looks like stars um stars twinkling in their eyes with almost like a white
Ali Leonard: beautiful.
Christopher Hooper: brightness. Um, and then the the guards begin to slowly like take the the uh hoods off the prisoners and you see that their eyes begin to glow as well um along with the other guards in in the audience and um they begin to like chant uh along with the music. Um, and you can just like hear bits and pieces of it. Hard to make out. And uh Demetri next to you, he he is like lost in a trance as well, enjoying the chorus.
Ali Leonard: And I'm doing the same thing
Tyram: Is there uh anything noteworthy
Ali Leonard: as much as I
Tyram: about the Can we tell anything about the prisoners once their hoods are taken off?
Christopher Hooper: Um um I think
Ali Leonard: can.
Christopher Hooper: I think the thing that is noteworthy that you can you can see is the um you see some uh with uh like religious um tattooing like on their necks you see or or
Tyram: So there's like non-Alddora
Christopher Hooper: necklaces. Um
Tyram: stuff.
Christopher Hooper: yeah, that's right. Um you
Ali Leonard: Sure. Classic.
Christopher Hooper: and like I said um much more diverse than most of Eldora Elderin.
Tyram: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Um and yeah, I mean is there anything else that you're like looking for in particular too?
Tyram: Um, no. I guess mainly I was just trying to like see if there was any clue about why they were brought here, but I guess that pretty much explains
Christopher Hooper: Okay, gotcha.
Tyram: it.
Christopher Hooper: Um, and uh, you begin to see like as the concert goes on a like more and more enriched fervor uh, from the barracks. And uh, you begin to see that um, some of them begin to sprout like um, you begin to see that some begin to like do a syncopated march to the front. Uh, and they march up on stage and you see one begin to hover.
Tyram: Thank
Christopher Hooper: Um, his his arms come out like this and he begins to sprout these
Tyram: you.
Christopher Hooper: ephemeral uh blazing white and gold uh wings uh from his just seemed to sprout from his back. And um he begins to coalesce a a huge great sword in his hand. And um still eyes ablaze as he begins to um sprout this uh like golden armor around him. Uh and you see that one of
Luke Neverisky: All
Christopher Hooper: the one of the Aldoran knights begins to take shape in front of you.
Ali Leonard: What? And you just hear like in the mind chat else with going like what the
Tyram: So this is how they make people like that captain that you butchered out in the ocean that one time.
Ali Leonard: f***? All right. Well,
Tyram: Deservedly. Deservedly. That was meant to be a compliment.
Luke Neverisky: right. All
Ali Leonard: Yes, there was a
Tyram: Like, okay. Like that captain that you totally kick the ass of. How
Luke Neverisky: right.
Tyram: about
Luke Neverisky: Son of a b****. I wish I had this
Ali Leonard: tone. Thank
Tyram: that? You You literally
Luke Neverisky: s***. This is
Ali Leonard: you. All right. You do
Luke Neverisky: f****** metal as f*** with this goddamn wings
Ali Leonard: though. Yeah, you do. Oh, you want the wings? Yeah, we didn't get
Tyram: do. Helisa, tag back in Lily. We want
Ali Leonard: any. I mean, even when you were
Tyram: we want her to be inspired to do this sort of thing, not
Luke Neverisky: s***. Keep watching.
[01:33:40]
Ali Leonard: Even when Helisano was like at her strongest in the dark depths of, you know, there was
Tyram: you. No, I mean she did
Ali Leonard: no guards being made. They were just
Tyram: zombify that one dragon.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Okay. Dragon's pretty
Tyram: I mean, that's super metal just
Ali Leonard: following dragons. Very
Luke Neverisky: cool.
Justin Hale: Um, did the transformation change the
Ali Leonard: cool. Oh, good
Christopher Hooper: Um, no, it didn't seem
Justin Hale: race?
Ali Leonard: question.
Tyram: objectively. Most of the people in the army we've seen so far were humans,
Christopher Hooper: to, but
Ali Leonard: Interesting. But
Tyram: right?
Christopher Hooper: that's true. Yes. So it it was
Justin Hale: Okay. Yeah.
Ali Leonard: we've very
Christopher Hooper: it was um you know not all of them are white um but they are very human.
Ali Leonard: white. Very
Christopher Hooper: Um and this one's
Justin Hale: But this one's

Christopher Hooper: black as
Luke Neverisky: Now,
Justin Hale: not.
Ali Leonard: Oh
Christopher Hooper: hell but human.
Luke Neverisky: who's
Justin Hale: But human. Was
Ali Leonard: my. He was
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. human before, still
Justin Hale: he human before? Oh, okay.
Ali Leonard: already a
Christopher Hooper: human because they because the these were these were soldiers that
Justin Hale: Okay. Got it. Okay.
Tyram: So the prisoners are
Christopher Hooper: were that are kind of like showing up on stage at this
Luke Neverisky: raising
Ali Leonard: human.
Tyram: getting brainwashed and the soldiers are getting jacked
Christopher Hooper: point.
Ali Leonard: Oh, I thought it was a soul. I
Tyram: up. Okay.
Justin Hale: Oh, I thought it was a prisoner, too. Yeah.
Ali Leonard: thought it was a prisoner. So, it's a promotion is what
Tyram: Oh, does it look like they're draining power
Ali Leonard: they're
Tyram: from the prisoners and using it to power up the
Ali Leonard: getting. Good
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Um, why don't you all
Tyram: soldiers? I hate
Christopher Hooper: give me a religion
Justin Hale: Yeah. Oh, man. I'm so good at
Ali Leonard: question. I'm a
Tyram: religion. Both mechanically and like lorewise. Silus hates. Okay, now
Christopher Hooper: check? All right, I see an eight
Tyram: one, but I got to reroll it.
Christopher Hooper: from
Justin Hale: those. I'm I'm not going
Ali Leonard: paladin.
Tyram: Uh, okay. So, adding my uh minus one modifier, I get to a
Christopher Hooper: Brew. All
Luke Neverisky: 20.
Ali Leonard: 17. Yes. Very
Christopher Hooper: right. All right. A nine. a 17. What about you, Helisana?
Justin Hale: to
Tyram: nine.
Christopher Hooper: Liliana dirty 20. All
Luke Neverisky: 20. Yeah. Uh dirty dirty
Tyram: Still see 20. All
Christopher Hooper: right. Really, really the perfect person to have the
Justin Hale: All
Tyram: right.
Christopher Hooper: highest roll, honestly.
Ali Leonard: good. Yeah, for sure. Okay. Okay. Who did a
Christopher Hooper: Um,
Luke Neverisky: 20. Sorry.
Justin Hale: right.
Ali Leonard: stinky?
Christopher Hooper: sorry.
Luke Neverisky: You just become this.
Ali Leonard: One of the three of you. That's what I get for
Christopher Hooper: Oh
Justin Hale: You'll never
Ali Leonard: posting up right next to the litter box. So that's on
Christopher Hooper: yeah, sorry. I had nowhere else. Um, okay, we'll start with Elizabeth. Elmith. Um so so what you know of religion like some
Justin Hale: know.
Christopher Hooper: sometimes your your god asks something from
Ali Leonard: me.
Christopher Hooper: you um to increase your fervor um to increase your standing with
Ali Leonard: I mean, Tony
Christopher Hooper: them. Well, but like even
Ali Leonard: never would, but
Christopher Hooper: like a lot of a lot of following is like um you know you you have to show your devotion in a way and like Tony it's like through the act of of
Tyram: has been
Christopher Hooper: mechanism right you know artifice. Yeah.
Ali Leonard: sure. Yeah, his is super fun. It's not
Tyram: teasing this along for a long time, but Tonyy's actually like a super evil god, it turns
Ali Leonard: Yeah,
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. And
Ali Leonard: no. Let me have
Tyram: out.
Christopher Hooper: uh and as you know like Tony
Ali Leonard: one thing. That's not
Christopher Hooper: requires blood sacrifices.
Ali Leonard: bad. Right, right, right, right,
Christopher Hooper: Just kidding.
Ali Leonard: right. But I knew that going
Tyram: A little blood sacrifice is not a deal breakaker,
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Never heard
Ali Leonard: in.
Christopher Hooper: Um yeah. Um no. So you so you would
Ali Leonard: Little sacrifice never killed
Christopher Hooper: expect that something you know something
Tyram: right?
Christopher Hooper: is is to show that devotion.
Luke Neverisky: anybody
Christopher Hooper: Liliana um what you know is that um what you've seen and experienced is the the the
Ali Leonard: nobody.
Christopher Hooper: practice of music as a instrument of showing devotion and um uniting like um uh basically like uh almost as a sermon you are professing your uh devotion to to a um entity and and basically through the art. Uh that is your your practice um to better
Justin Hale: What was
Christopher Hooper: commune. And um another thing that you recognize is that um music especially is a very in tune way to have to
Justin Hale: it?
Christopher Hooper: unify large amounts of people um into a shared experience that connects you not only on the physical plane but the metaphysical plane. um by establishing a and and maybe this is where you come in a little bit. There is a uh there is a very real um uh magical essence that is created through this religious practice that uh gets instigated as religious power. Um by um effectively in tuning large groups of people in this practice of music uh you in fact create a stronger bond with that plane. Um, and a lot of ways, uh, wizards are able to in tune this through their knowledge. Uh, they're able to use tricks and things to tune into the, uh, metaphysical power plane through the weave and and they able to find different tunnels. But the way the gods um do it is they exist and they lend that power um when it their followers cross over and create a bridge. And um Liliana, you see that oftentimes um religious communities create that bridge to that um metaphysical plane through the art of chorus of music. And um this is what you're seeing here is that it's creating this bridge to that um to that godly plane and pulling that power back in to your realm. And so this is um it doesn't it's not costing people directly except what we think of as maybe their souls, right? They're devoting their souls to the, you know, religious uh bridge to Eldora.
Ali Leonard: Was that
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. But I don't think I don't I don't want you to think of
Ali Leonard: it? Just a
Christopher Hooper: souls as like they're selling their soul to the devil. It's more of like they are using their in the in the way that religion in this world is a real
Ali Leonard: soul.
Christopher Hooper: thing just as like magic is a real thing. Your souls are a way that you in tune and connect with the religious beings in this in this uh
Ali Leonard: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: universe. And so the way that Elizabeth in tunes to uh in tunes to Tony and as a paladin you have like bridged used
Ali Leonard: Wow.
Christopher Hooper: your soul as a bridge to that as well through your practice of artificery.
Luke Neverisky: Well, yeah.
Ali Leonard: Well, I'm awesome.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Um cool. So you see that uh that this these entrance and you see yes this in fact uh right on this is A you're seeing a promotion of spirit as this as this soldier grows these um glorious angelic wings and um and uh uh summons this sword from the ether uh in front of you on stage and um there becomes a crescendo of the music that you all hear through muffled uh earplugs. hugs. And uh eventually the uh show ends and uh the soldiers kind of all file back into their seats and um eventually the orchestra stops and there's a rapturous um applause and especially you see that the uh the soldiers are all um congratulating all the soldiers that came onto the stage but especially the one that ascended into um
Tyram: H. So, like while the concert was going on, did it seem
Ali Leonard: Wow. Just no
Tyram: like there was something about the building itself that like was
Christopher Hooper: knighthood.
Tyram: like allowing this to be more effective or was it just like the the the performers who were doing it?
Christopher Hooper: I think with that fairly high uh
Ali Leonard: words.
Christopher Hooper: perception you gave me, I think that the only thing the music or the the building itself provided is the acoustics to
Tyram: Okay. So, I was wondering if like this is the place we need to blow up because they're like
[01:43:40]
Christopher Hooper: to amplify
Tyram: something like they can only do nightighthood here or something like that. That'd be that make it a good target.
Christopher Hooper: I would say you you would consider this a good target because uh I think assuming that
Tyram: Um,
Christopher Hooper: Liliana and Elizabeth kind of relate back to you. I think that you I think you all might come to this understanding of like the um the grandiose aspect of the performance is actually in an insanely powerful like conduit. Um that a a uh the the effectiveness of the performance is the power that allows them like is making this so powerful as an instrument of both indoctrination and
Tyram: Okay. It's probably also true that like the places we blow up having like symbolic weight behind them is also important because we're trying to damage Aldora's
Christopher Hooper: ascension.
Tyram: reputation.
Christopher Hooper: And anyone who wants to give me an inside check. This is
Tyram: Inside. All
Christopher Hooper: uh DC25.
Tyram: right.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Ali Leonard: Who?
Tyram: Um, I'm at 23. I can boost that real quick,
Ali Leonard: I got
Christopher Hooper: DC25 is a big hint.
Tyram: though. Okay. Um, I'll I'll boost it
Christopher Hooper: DC30 is I tell
Tyram: with a psychic knack. Okay. So, that puts me at uh 27. Either of you uh either of you nerds got a flash
Christopher Hooper: you.
Tyram: of genius for
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Ali Leonard: hide. I can flash your genius,
Tyram: me? Hell yeah.
Ali Leonard: too. Yeah, cuz if I flash a genius myself, I would get to 25.
Tyram: will you get me to 30
Ali Leonard: So, it's probably better to flash genius you.
Tyram: something.
Ali Leonard: Yeah. So, I can flash you. That's a plus
Tyram: Okay. Okay. So, um what what is the total boost I get from that? Okay. That
Christopher Hooper: four.
Ali Leonard: four. Plus
Tyram: puts me at
Christopher Hooper: Right.
Tyram: 31.
Christopher Hooper: This this hearkens you back to
Ali Leonard: four.
Christopher Hooper: that scene with Stephen and Captain Steel where you you remember Stephen arguing with Steel about that the um harmonic resonance was too powerful. And you think that um this like religious connection or this music connection to to their religion uh goes very very deep in like a lot of the power of uh Elderan and like what they're using across a lot of their a lot of their systems. So, not only for soldier ascension, but potentially uh this could be linked to the the the weapon in space that they've
Tyram: Okay. So, um Okay. So, yeah, I guess we we'll do that character real quick. All this
Luke Neverisky: Oh
Tyram: harmonic crap keeps coming up over and over again. Like not to bring up an uncomfortable subject, but um when we saw the uh the vision of
Christopher Hooper: developed.
Tyram: your brother, it was he was talking about this,
Luke Neverisky: s***. Yeah, this is the one that got him. our lives. Yeah. Yeah. It sucks. But yes, this is what he was
Tyram: right? Well, at least that does let us know that
Luke Neverisky: talking about. Okay,
Tyram: we need to burn this place to the f****** ground. Or rather, pull the f****** because, you know, that's that that's more that's more our speed, you know.
Justin Hale: Did someone say
Tyram: I also said blow up. I mean, if you want to do both, do both. You
Justin Hale: burn? Oh, I didn't
Ali Leonard: He literally said it
Tyram: know, I did say both,
Luke Neverisky: thanks.
Justin Hale: hear I didn't hear the blow
Tyram: but like, you know, just Hey, you know what? Why not
Christopher Hooper: Why
Luke Neverisky: Why not
Ali Leonard: Just why not
Christopher Hooper: not? I'm
Luke Neverisky: those?
Justin Hale: up. Kevin, you heard
Ali Leonard: both?
Tyram: both?
Christopher Hooper: Kevin.
Justin Hale: it. All right, Kevin. It's
Tyram: Oh, like not right now. Right
Justin Hale: fat birthday time a
Tyram: now, we got to do this all tomorrow. We still have
Justin Hale: hand
Tyram: to go scout out the research
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Justin Hale: a never mind but we're going to do it now
Christopher Hooper: Oh,
Justin Hale: Kevin
Ali Leonard: and I have lunch plans. So
Justin Hale: sorry be grumpy with them Kevin I wanted to blow it
Tyram: place.
Christopher Hooper: okay. Okay
Justin Hale: up right now
Ali Leonard: like
Christopher Hooper: then.
Justin Hale: too you made Kevin so
Tyram: Look, I'm sorry, but like I thought you understood
Justin Hale: sad
Ali Leonard: All
Tyram: that we are trying to coordinate to do all three at the same time. So clearly we're not blowing up the other two right now,
Justin Hale: And I like to blow things up. That's all I heard. I got very happy about
Tyram: right, bro? You can't just zone out like that. That really like just makes
Justin Hale: it. That's That's
Ali Leonard: right.
Tyram: it hard for us to need
Justin Hale: it.
Ali Leonard: It's very dangerous, especially when we're kind of planning
Tyram: you to lock in,
Christopher Hooper: Um,
Justin Hale: I'm always locked in when it comes to blowing things
Tyram: brew. Well, I also need you to lock into the timing aspect of
Ali Leonard: something.
Justin Hale: up. All right, fine.
Ali Leonard: Yeah. Kind of pay attention to the whole
Justin Hale: Fine. If there's multiple things I have to juggle here, I
Ali Leonard: plan. Oh my
Tyram: this. I mean, we're we're not putting this all on you.
Ali Leonard: god, it's a time.
Tyram: We're all working to coordinate, to time, and to blow things up. Like, you know, it's group effort
Justin Hale: guess. You know what, Elizabeth? The next time we go to a race, I'm going to be like, "No, you can't race today. You have to race
Ali Leonard: Would it be on race day or
Justin Hale: tomorrow." It'd be multiple days.
Ali Leonard: would race day be the next day? Because then I would follow the
Justin Hale: It would be multiple days. But you can't race the first
Ali Leonard: schedule. A multiple day
Tyram: here. I feel that put her at a severe
Ali Leonard: race. That's a
Tyram: disadvantage.
Justin Hale: day. But whatever. You don't get it. Let's move
Ali Leonard: pointswise.
Tyram: It's been a minute since you've had a race, Elizabeth. Like,
Christopher Hooper: Um, Donald.
Tyram: uh, I mean,
Justin Hale: on.
Ali Leonard: Yeah. It was like a couple weeks ago when I took down that bad
Tyram: for whatever reason, it feels like a lot
Ali Leonard: guy. It was like right
Tyram: longer. But, and that was like a that was like an infiltration race. I mean,
Ali Leonard: before we came here, right?
Tyram: like a, you know, get back in the underground scene, you
Ali Leonard: Like it was less than a couple. It was like It was like a week.
Tyram: know.
Ali Leonard: No, it was the main race where I took over that guy's
Tyram: That's what I mean. It's like you were raising as Dentlin instead of as yourself, you
Ali Leonard: car.
Tyram: know? Sure. Sure. But like it didn't
Christopher Hooper: But
Justin Hale: Turn.
Ali Leonard: Yeah, but I still won. So, it's
Tyram: do anything for you to like increase your standings, you
Luke Neverisky: All
Ali Leonard: like Yeah. Well, I think it's kind of gone to hell in a hand basket at this point. I'm
Tyram: know?
Ali Leonard: kind of making a new
Christopher Hooper: found
Ali Leonard: family. Yeah, I found family with all of
Tyram: Wow. Okay. I was I will confess I was a little worried. You were
Ali Leonard: you. You see where You see where I
Tyram: talking about the people from the
Ali Leonard: thought you thought I was going?
Christopher Hooper: family.
Luke Neverisky: right.
Justin Hale: family family lets other family blow things up when they
Ali Leonard: Yeah. f****** got you,
Tyram: factory. I don't think that's
Justin Hale: want to. Just
Ali Leonard: but Oh my god, you're gonna get to blow up so many things
Tyram: true.
Justin Hale: saying. I ever dip.
Ali Leonard: tomorrow.
Luke Neverisky: not in my family
Justin Hale: Yeah,
Ali Leonard: That must be a goblin
Justin Hale: that's what we were taught in our school in the
Ali Leonard: thing in the mines.
Tyram: I keep telling you guys, goblin school not a solid investment of
Luke Neverisky: anyway.
Ali Leonard: Yeah. Yeah. I don't think that it's I mean, but
Justin Hale: mines. Did you not yearn for the
Ali Leonard: maybe I have to observe it before I decide if I'm going to save it.
Luke Neverisky: Believe it or not, I
Justin Hale: minds as a
Ali Leonard: I didn't yearn for the minds
Tyram: time.
Justin Hale: child?
Ali Leonard: personally, but to be fair, I wasn't
Justin Hale: He must have had a rough childhood. That's all I'm
Ali Leonard: given the option. I didn't know
Tyram: Didn't you grow up in High Forge? Wasn't that like full of
Ali Leonard: of the mines. I didn't But I didn't know the people worked in
Luke Neverisky: didn't What do you
Justin Hale: saying. What? That's the most
Ali Leonard: them. I kind of
Tyram: mines? Yeah.
Luke Neverisky: think happens in a
Justin Hale: like that's the most like Nepo baby thing I've ever
Ali Leonard: just
Tyram: Like Jesus. like you are like it didn't occur to me
Ali Leonard: I was
Tyram: like how much like you coopers are in such like a privileged Minecraft here.
Justin Hale: heard.
Ali Leonard: like, it sounds bad, but I'm imagining Ellsworth's upbringing being like a child actor where it's like you're at the racetrack and then they're like, "Okay, go to lunch and you have to learn math and then
Luke Neverisky: mine?
Ali Leonard: you get back on the racetrack and then you go to sleep." So, I was like,
Christopher Hooper: Mhm. Oh, the ones you
Ali Leonard: "What
Tyram: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: race
Ali Leonard: minds?" Oh, those
Tyram: Even the way you said that
Justin Hale: Mhm. Oh, those minds. I thought those
Tyram: like reminded me of a of what's her name from Arrested

Luke Neverisky: How much could it
Justin Hale: stand. God, I
Ali Leonard: $10.
Luke Neverisky: cost?
Justin Hale: haven't watched that show in so
Tyram: exactly. As you can see, I don't remember any of the characters names at this
Justin Hale: long. Right.
Christopher Hooper: Um, all right. So, um, Donald looks up to me. He says tears in his eyes and he says, "What a great performance. You kids really had a
Ali Leonard: I want to be fake fake
Tyram: point. Oh. Um, yeah, I'll be all like, I'll kill for

Tyram: It's like we were the chickens in the coal
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Oh, this is a perfect This is
Ali Leonard: it's going to be a movement. This is
Tyram: mine.

Christopher Hooper: Listen, and if you join the army,
Ali Leonard: card doesn't know that.
Christopher Hooper: you'll never have to be in the coal mines

Ali Leonard: their own thing, you know. But maybe you can um do something for the army mine adjacent, you know what I
Christopher Hooper: service. Yeah. And he looks over at you, Liliana. It's like, yeah, there's a lot of other things outside the military.
Luke Neverisky: I'm good at other
Ali Leonard: mean? Other things.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah.

Justin Hale: 19.
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Justin Hale: Mhm. But my passive is
Christopher Hooper: Um Okay. So, we're going to go to Silus's Silus. Um your arcana of 18,
Ali Leonard: advantage.
Christopher Hooper: right? Okay. Um so, um you see it. It doesn't seem to be
Justin Hale: 25.
Christopher Hooper: like detection magic. It's not like alarm. It seems to be something more akin to like heat
Tyram: Okay. So, I I should try not to touch it, I'm
Christopher Hooper: metal. Um you you
Tyram: guessing. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: think that it's it's something like that?
Tyram: Okay. All
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Tyram: right. Um, oh, sorry. That's it for me, right? Did forget
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. Nope. That's
Tyram: anything?
Christopher Hooper: it. Um so y'all are led uh around the back of this building.
Tyram: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: Um uh all the way around. Um you uh yeah head uh get led back up to the front uh to the gate. He opens it back up and says, "All right, it was so great to to give you this experience, kids. Um and uh wow, what a program, miss. I hope uh we see you
Ali Leonard: Absolutely. Absolutely. You did. Thank you so much for your help. It was
Christopher Hooper: again." Yeah, no, no
Luke Neverisky: Thanks,
Christopher Hooper: problem. and uh join the army or you know
Tyram: What is
Christopher Hooper: whatever you can do. All right.
Ali Leonard: amazing. That's a
Tyram: this feeling? Is this what it feels like to be glad to be
Luke Neverisky: Mister.
Ali Leonard: great
Tyram: alive?
Luke Neverisky: Is that love?
Ali Leonard: And that's what we leave them on as I'm like, "Okay, we can cut it
Tyram: You want to stay in character for as long as
Christopher Hooper: Bye.
Tyram: possible. Okay. So, uh looks like we do have a back way in to come in and plant the plant the explosives. There's something weird about this wall. Like it looks like it has like uh I've run into these before when I was infiltrating places. It like burns
Ali Leonard: now.
Tyram: when you touch
Luke Neverisky: SC when you touch them.
Tyram: them. So, I have to figure out a good way to get over the wall. Like me just walking over is not
Luke Neverisky: H. You
Ali Leonard: Good to
Tyram: ideal. How How high is the wall?
Christopher Hooper: Uh about 15 ft.
Tyram: Oh, well, um and
Luke Neverisky: okay?
Ali Leonard: know.
Tyram: uh Olivia were able to throw me pretty f****** high that one time. Maybe we could try something like that.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, you've got to get Ellis. to come back
Tyram: Well, I guess I'm forget that idea
Christopher Hooper: to a
Ali Leonard: That's our that's
Christopher Hooper: session.
Ali Leonard: our hardest part.
Tyram: then. It's rather inconsiderate of her to be pregnant for so
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. I feel like this pregnancy is lasting
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: a really long
Luke Neverisky: Oh, at least like nine
Ali Leonard: Yeah. I bet she does,
Tyram: long. Where are the
Luke Neverisky: months.
Justin Hale: I have a weird
Tyram: victims here? That's what's important to note.
Christopher Hooper: time. Yes.
Justin Hale: idea. I have a I have a weird idea. How much does the pee hole
Christopher Hooper: Uh, it's effectively
Ali Leonard: too.
[02:03:40]
Justin Hale: weigh? Okay, if we put everyone in the pee
Christopher Hooper: weightless. You can't fit everyone. Only two
Justin Hale: hole. Okay. So, if we put people in the pee hole and we throw it
Christopher Hooper: people.
Justin Hale: over and then that person gets out and throws it
Tyram: Oh yeah, we can uh we can like goose corn fox this situation if we need to. Yeah, the famous riddle with the
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, the old goose corn
Luke Neverisky: I don't get that
Justin Hale: back.
Tyram: raft. It's a thing. f***
Luke Neverisky: reference.
Justin Hale: Yep. It's a Yeah,
Tyram: you.
Luke Neverisky: Sorry. Of
Justin Hale: it's a it's a
Ali Leonard: It's like the goose goes over with the grain, it'll eat the grain. But if the fox goes over
Christopher Hooper: pop. What?
Luke Neverisky: course. Oh, got it.
Justin Hale: Listen,
Ali Leonard: with the goose, it'll eat the
Christopher Hooper: Sorry, what?
Luke Neverisky: Okay.
Justin Hale: three-fifths of the party know this. Toeer. Toeer. Listen. You played Runescape
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, but
Justin Hale: when this was a quest.
Ali Leonard: goose.
Tyram: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: you just did all the quests for me, so I didn't learn
Justin Hale: Okay, that's probably true,
Christopher Hooper: anything. Let's see.
Justin Hale: honestly.
Christopher Hooper: Okay. So, Okay. You must
Luke Neverisky: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: move the fox, goose, and corn across the river. If you leave the fox with the goose, the fox will eat the goose. If you leave the goose with the corn, the goose will eat the corn. You can only move one object at a time in the boat. So you move the you move
Tyram: Well, what I think like what I mean is
Christopher Hooper: Silus. Who's who's what
Justin Hale: Wait, who's what here?
Tyram: like Silus isn't going to be able to throw the thing back. So like someone who's strong enough to throw it back over needs to
Justin Hale: Why
Tyram: go over on that first trip.
Justin Hale: not? Can you if you stay on top, can
Christopher Hooper: here?
Justin Hale: you just toss it back
Tyram: Uh, I don't think I need to be on top of the wall. If I could get on the wall, I'd just walk over the wall, right? It's got that heat metal thing on it, so it needs to go all the
Justin Hale: down? Oh, the wall does. Got
Tyram: way. The direct route
Justin Hale: it. Yeah, that makes sense.
Tyram: has already been taken away from us. Like option A was me just climbing up the
Christopher Hooper: Mhm.
Justin Hale: Okay.
Tyram: wall, but that's not a thing we can do apparently.
Luke Neverisky: Um, I can levitate one myself for one
Tyram: If you can can levitate go 15
Luke Neverisky: person
Tyram: feet. Sure. s***. Yeah. Just levitate to the top of the wall. Toss us over and then uh we figure out something for you, I guess. I don't
Luke Neverisky: 20. Yeah.
Tyram: know. Yeah. So, we should be able to handle this just
Luke Neverisky: Yep. There's that.
Tyram: fine. We put the two heaviest people in the in the pee hole. You levitate up
Justin Hale: Uhoh.
Tyram: and toss them over and then you can like go up and down for I guess me and Brew since we're so
Luke Neverisky: Mhm. Yeah, that's
Justin Hale: Mhm.
Tyram: light.
Luke Neverisky: fine. I can fly, too. This guitar is
Tyram: If you can just f****** fly. Hey, what the hell have we been talking about the last like five
Ali Leonard: She
Tyram: minutes
Luke Neverisky: awesome. You know, you guys, you were on such
Ali Leonard: just wanted to feel
Luke Neverisky: a roll side of night. I love feeding
Justin Hale: Mhm. It was a good It
Ali Leonard: included. It was such a good
Justin Hale: was a good exercise for the brain. Silence.
Ali Leonard: plan. Good thought experiment. For sure. For
Christopher Hooper: But if you leave Liliana with the corn, she'll eat
Ali Leonard: sure.
Tyram: then? Liliana f****** pound that corn. Yeah,
Christopher Hooper: the corn.
Luke Neverisky: work. I will eat the
Justin Hale: No, no, no, no, no, no,
Tyram: can't trust her with corn.
Justin Hale: no. I have dibs. I have dibs on being the
Ali Leonard: But if you leave Helisana with
Tyram: Alisana would eat any of us if she
Ali Leonard: the goose, then she'll eat the
Justin Hale: goose. Helisana. Listen, I think we all know that Helisana would be the
Ali Leonard: goose.
Luke Neverisky: core.
Justin Hale: fox. I would be the goose. Silus would be the
Tyram: could. That seemed that makes sense to
Luke Neverisky: I am sometimes called
Justin Hale: grain.
Tyram: me. You
Luke Neverisky: a fox in certain situations.
Ali Leonard: So, am I the bag? What are we doing?
Tyram: are the farmer in this riddle. I
Christopher Hooper: or the
Justin Hale: Hey, you're the
Tyram: guess Olivia's the
Ali Leonard: I'm the boat. Well, that feels rude. I'm not sure why,
Tyram: boat. Olivia's not here. She has to be the amate
Christopher Hooper: boat because you're a race car
Ali Leonard: but it feels rude. Olivia's the boat. Olivia's
Tyram: object. You're the farmer since you like uh
Luke Neverisky: Yes.
Ali Leonard: the boat for
Tyram: drive the vehicle back and forth, you know, like a
Justin Hale: vote. Hey, I gotta go putting real quick. I can't hold it anymore. Very.
Ali Leonard: sure. Wow, what a small bladder.
Christopher Hooper: driver. Okay. So, you bring the
Luke Neverisky: You want to say small
Tyram: racist.
Christopher Hooper: goose over first. You then go grab the corn and then bring the goose back. And then you grab the
Tyram: Yeah, it doesn't matter which
Christopher Hooper: fox. Oh, okay. Gotcha.
Tyram: one you grab second. You just got to bring the goose back is the key to the key to the
Luke Neverisky: letters?
Christopher Hooper: Gotcha. Okay. Yeah,
Tyram: solution.
Christopher Hooper: that's a tricky part. Bringing the goose with you
Ali Leonard: You
Tyram: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: back. You bring the goose back with you twice.
Ali Leonard: got to wrangle a goose.
Luke Neverisky: You're a wrangle goose. It's not easy. Yeah.
Tyram: Also, one does wonder why a farmer has a
Ali Leonard: It's a pet fox. But if it's a pet fox, he shouldn't be eating the
Tyram: fox. You know, there's only so much you can
Ali Leonard: goose.
Tyram: expect from a pet fox. They're doing good not to to bite people. You
Christopher Hooper: No.
Tyram: can't expect them to not go ape s*** on
Ali Leonard: You're not also not need for goose.
Tyram: like
Ali Leonard: Sure. Just in his nature. He's a
Luke Neverisky: He's a
Christopher Hooper: Um, didn't Russia domesticate have domesticated foxes or something?
Ali Leonard: fox.
Tyram: Yeah. I need to learn just
Christopher Hooper: There's an old
Ali Leonard: They wore a lot of foxes.
Tyram: to check with Luke to see if he has a spell that
Luke Neverisky: box.
Tyram: just completely solves the problem right now.
Christopher Hooper: lady.
Ali Leonard: does everything that you're asking about. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Tyram: Yeah, this is a
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Tyram: recurring theme. Like we'll be chatting about like elaborate solutions to things you can just like snap your fingers and then like completely just trivialize the problem.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, but then Brew got to like punch
Tyram: Oh, no. All
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. You
Luke Neverisky: Elmith in the leg. So
Justin Hale: That was
Ali Leonard: Yeah. Yeah. So, we have that. We'll always have
Tyram: this infiltration stuff I feel like was that bore a lot of fruit. I'm completely glad with
Christopher Hooper: don't even need
Ali Leonard: that.
Tyram: that part of the plan. But like getting back here later. Yeah, let's just
Christopher Hooper: George.
Luke Neverisky: I have a
Tyram: fly. Okay. So,
Christopher Hooper: Um, cool.
Luke Neverisky: lot
Tyram: I guess we need to go to the university now,
Christopher Hooper: So,
Justin Hale: fun.
Tyram: right? Should we talk to George before we leave?
Christopher Hooper: yeah. How are
Tyram: Well, we establish we can just
Christopher Hooper: How can you possibly do
Luke Neverisky: of
Tyram: message
Luke Neverisky: had a
Justin Hale: All I got to do is kneecap Ellswith
Luke Neverisky: trick.
Justin Hale: and he'll come running,
Ali Leonard: Not
Christopher Hooper: that?
Justin Hale: right? I thought I thought that's how we got his
Tyram: him. Well, we didn't do
Justin Hale: attention. Well, that's cuz we were too far
Ali Leonard: again. It didn't
Tyram: it well enough last time. We need to really just whale into your knee this
Justin Hale: away.
Ali Leonard: work. You also did it in the wrong place.
Tyram: time. It's the only
Justin Hale: Yeah. Yeah, let's let's try again for
Ali Leonard: I would rather you didn't.
Tyram: way.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. The only
Ali Leonard: I I feel like there's other
Tyram: There aren't. We've been through
Justin Hale: science. Half the party thinks we can do
Ali Leonard: ways. Liliana says she can message him and that she solves all of her
Tyram: this. Or does want to kick you in the
Luke Neverisky: I don't want to kick you in
Tyram: knee? Okay, Helisana, what do you want to do? There
Luke Neverisky: the Oh, I want to f****** kick her in the knee. God damn.
Justin Hale: it.
Ali Leonard: problems. God damn
Tyram: we go. Three to two.
Luke Neverisky: Oh god. Do it. Let me do it.
Ali Leonard: it.
Luke Neverisky: We'll f****** do it.
Ali Leonard: So, is are is
Luke Neverisky: My heels up
Ali Leonard: it just like the five of us still standing outside the barracks just
Tyram: No one's with us
Christopher Hooper: You tell
Ali Leonard: chatting or have we kept
Tyram: anymore. So, yeah, I feel like we could
Ali Leonard: walking? No, but like I feel like we don't want to be seen just standing
Tyram: probably
Christopher Hooper: me. staring at each
Ali Leonard: around.
Tyram: there. Oh, I maybe we're still
Christopher Hooper: other. At this point, y'all have like
Justin Hale: Okay.
Tyram: like looking like we're like taking in the sights as we go like
Christopher Hooper: practiced having
Luke Neverisky: first.
Ali Leonard: Yeah.
Tyram: ah, you
Christopher Hooper: like I like to think that y'all have like begun to master the art of like mindless conversation um that takes like zero like thought.
Tyram: know.
Christopher Hooper: Um,
Ali Leonard: Yes.
Tyram: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: yeah.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Justin Hale: like kids typing on T9
Ali Leonard: Weather.

Christopher Hooper: Yeah. And it's all just like
Justin Hale: table. No.
Christopher Hooper: 5005. No, wait. 80085. That's what I'm thinking.
Luke Neverisky: There we

Tyram: since some of us respect the democratic process, we
Justin Hale: calculator.
Tyram: should kick Ellsworth in the knee
Luke Neverisky: go.
Ali Leonard: right. All
Tyram: now. Okay. Okay. We
Luke Neverisky: Oh, f****** time.
Ali Leonard: right. I don't think we're in the right spot for him to see
Tyram: just That's true. Okay. So, we need to message him, get him in
Ali Leonard: us again. So, I don't I really don't know if
Tyram: position, and then kick you in the
Justin Hale: See, now
Ali Leonard: it'll and then kick me in the
Tyram: knee.
Justin Hale: now we're cooking. Now we're
Ali Leonard: knee. You got to have a plan before I agree
Tyram: All right,
Ali Leonard: to
Tyram: Lily, you're
Justin Hale: cooking.
Ali Leonard: it. Have you messaged him? Oh,
Tyram: up. That's what I meant.
Ali Leonard: yeah. Lily message him and then go same person's gonna kick me in
Tyram: Yeah. No, no, that the part one of the plan is
Ali Leonard: the knee and message him.
Luke Neverisky: Hey. Um, so I think I have to be able to see George. I have to see
Tyram: messaging. Okay, I guess let's let's mindlessly wander around
Luke Neverisky: the targets in cast message, right?
Tyram: until we see George do a lap or something.
Luke Neverisky: Right. Um. All right. Hey, George. It's me, your friends, Liliana, but I'm
Ali Leonard: Damn.
Christopher Hooper: Mhm.
Luke Neverisky: a disguised as a kid. Don't worry about it. It's fine. Anyway, we're going to need your help. And um otherwise, we're going to have to
Tyram: Well, none of us can
Luke Neverisky: kick Elizabeth in the shin. I don't really want to do
Ali Leonard: God damn
Tyram: hear this. This isn't psychic phone. This is just one to
[02:13:40]
Luke Neverisky: that. Yeah.

Christopher Hooper: need? Oh, um Oh, I I'm I'm kind of in my schedule right now. Can I meet y'all at the Can I meet y'all somewhere tonight? Probably at the Sexy Peacock.
Luke Neverisky: here?
Justin Hale: I
Ali Leonard: I don't like it when he's a
Luke Neverisky: Guys, he wants to meet us with this XCP calculator
Justin Hale: call
Ali Leonard: sexy
Luke Neverisky: tonight. Does that
Ali Leonard: peacock.
Tyram: I guess. Yeah.
Luke Neverisky: work? Okay, that's fine. George, I'll see you
Justin Hale: George.

Tyram: now?
Luke Neverisky: kicker in the
Justin Hale: about? Was it Was it
Ali Leonard: situation, not if
Luke Neverisky: shin. I'm pretty sure it
Justin Hale: Was it
Ali Leonard: and
Tyram: Fine.
Ali Leonard: Brew already got to kick me in the shin. So Brew doesn't get to kick me
Justin Hale: though? What? That's what we agreed to with the with the whatever process, the demarcation process or

Luke Neverisky: was
Justin Hale: whatever. Yeah, same
Ali Leonard: it? Uh, he doesn't even know
Tyram: All right, fine.
Justin Hale: difference. That's what I said. The
Ali Leonard: Democratic.
Tyram: Let's just go to the go to the f****** university. I
Justin Hale: demarco
Christopher Hooper: All
Justin Hale: process.
Ali Leonard: No. Are you guys really that sad you don't get to kick me
Tyram: guess I'm just This is more evidence of
Justin Hale: Man, we never had any
Ali Leonard: in the
Tyram: you drifting towards fascism because you clearly no longer respect
Justin Hale: fun.
Ali Leonard: shin? What
Tyram: the democratic
Ali Leonard: the? You want to get to kick you in the shin?
Tyram: process. that wasn't voted
Christopher Hooper: right.
Justin Hale: If we vote on
Ali Leonard: Oh my
Tyram: on. If a free and fair election involved a plan to
Justin Hale: it, all in favor
Ali Leonard: god, this feels very
Tyram: kick me in the shin, I'd accept
Luke Neverisky: Toriel said we're not going to kick you in the s***. Don't
Justin Hale: of Well, hold on. The day

Christopher Hooper: Um, yeah, I think y'all are
Justin Hale: young.
Ali Leonard: you. We're outside. Yeah, right.
Christopher Hooper: y'all y'all have been outside. I think y'all are uh you're walking and
Ali Leonard: We're down the street at least.
Tyram: Okay, let's wander into an alley and like change our disguises, I
Christopher Hooper: talking.
Tyram: guess. Okay, what version of Colonel Sanders do you want to be this
Ali Leonard: probably
Tyram: time, Brew?
Luke Neverisky: worry.
Justin Hale: the Asian
Ali Leonard: smart now. Where are we going
Tyram: We need to go to the university and figure out how to get inside the
Christopher Hooper: What is
Ali Leonard: to
Tyram: research center where Commander Steel
Ali Leonard: university?
Tyram: works.
Christopher Hooper: it?
Justin Hale: one.
Ali Leonard: Okay. Um I Oh gosh,
Tyram: Is this like a college campus or is
Ali Leonard: what kind of college kid do I want to look like?
Tyram: this like a like a bunch of like science professionals that we're going
Ali Leonard: Great
Tyram: towards? Because we just could just look like a bunch of d****** college students. That'd be probably an easy one to pull off. Why are all
Christopher Hooper: Um, yeah. You want to give me a history
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Tyram: the checks intelligence-based right now?
Christopher Hooper: check?
Luke Neverisky: for
Ali Leonard: question.
Tyram: That's fair
Justin Hale: We're at a college. These
Tyram: actually. Okay, I got a
Justin Hale: checks should be more about the athletics if we're at the
Tyram: 17. 18 on the die. So, a total of 17
Christopher Hooper: All
Ali Leonard: What is it? Knowledge. What is
Justin Hale: school.
Ali Leonard: it? History plus four.
Tyram: history. Hell
Christopher Hooper: right. 21. All right.
Luke Neverisky: college.
Ali Leonard: Okay.
Tyram: yeah.
Christopher Hooper: uh university a university research center.
Ali Leonard: 21.
Christopher Hooper: So it's got a student body and like a graduate school and like um some like research towers um on on campus. It's very it's very nice uh large uh university campus.
Luke Neverisky: All
Justin Hale: and
Ali Leonard: Does that
Tyram: Okay, so we can do d****** college students.
Luke Neverisky: right. And
Ali Leonard: help? I want to have a
Tyram: Okay. Yeah. I want to I want to have a hacky
Justin Hale: and Yeah, I'm going to
Ali Leonard: beanie. Oh, you're going

Justin Hale: be
Ali Leonard: stoner. I was going
Tyram: kid. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Justin Hale: I'm going to be Colonel Sanders, but I have white shorts
Ali Leonard: hipster.
Justin Hale: instead of white slacks and and white flip-flops
Ali Leonard: Sure.
Tyram: Foolproof. The perfect
Justin Hale: instead of dress
Tyram: disguise. Of
Luke Neverisky: Oh, of
Justin Hale: shoes.
Ali Leonard: Sure. I'm also going to have a guitar on my
Luke Neverisky: course. Of
Justin Hale: Mhm. Mhm.
Ali Leonard: back, but I'm majoring in
Luke Neverisky: course.
Justin Hale: Mhm. Mhm. Mhm.
Tyram: course.
Christopher Hooper: All right. A bunch
Ali Leonard: philosophy.
Christopher Hooper: of different uh like college
Ali Leonard: or my SCA band will go huge. I
Christopher Hooper: students.
Ali Leonard: just like I don't know. I got to feel it out. You know what I
Tyram: Yeah, totally. Ben, Lori, you're being uh
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Uh I just fling it with like sweatpants, sweatshirt, flip-flops. We see
Christopher Hooper: Nothing. Okay.
Luke Neverisky: people roll out of bed at 8 a.m.
Tyram: Luke.
Luke Neverisky: class.
Justin Hale: Mhm.
Ali Leonard: mean? And a sorority shirt
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Um,
Ali Leonard: still.
Christopher Hooper: and Brew, were your disguise
Justin Hale: still Colonel
Christopher Hooper: here?
Justin Hale: Sanders, but I'm wearing I'm wearing white shorts and white
Ali Leonard: Colonel Sanders. Yeah. Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Okay. So, kind of like a frat
Tyram: I mean, you know how it's a wellestablished
Ali Leonard: Yeah. I think like a
Tyram: knowledge that Colonel Sanders can fit into any
Ali Leonard: tux with
Tyram: location. So, yeah, Justin is taking advantage of
Luke Neverisky: Right. Rose
Justin Hale: flip-flops.
Tyram: that. The fact wellestablished fact that Colonel
Christopher Hooper: bro.
Luke Neverisky: Sanders.
Ali Leonard: Sure.
Tyram: Sanders is unremarkable wherever you happen to see him. Everyone
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he's welcome anywhere. I would
Justin Hale: Mhm.
Tyram: knows
Christopher Hooper: say I would say the only issue is like people like, "Whoa, Colonel Sanders is
Ali Leonard: What? Yeah, he's going to get mobbed
Tyram: that that's people would be happy to see him and that could work
Ali Leonard: for sure.
Tyram: against. That's true.
Christopher Hooper: here." Yeah.
Justin Hale: Exactly. It's a It's a price that I'm willing to take for
Ali Leonard: Stoner food. Stoner food for
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Okay. Okay. Good.
Justin Hale: the colonel.
Ali Leonard: sure. It reminds me. I remember when I was little,
Christopher Hooper: Good.
Ali Leonard: my dad, like my mom and dad went to like this huge gala thing in San Francisco and my dad was like, "It's too freaking hot." And so he wore
Justin Hale: Hell
Ali Leonard: his tux with
Justin Hale: yeah. That's a dad move right
Ali Leonard: shorts. That's a bad move for
Christopher Hooper: Nice. Wow. Mr.
Luke Neverisky: Nice.
Ali Leonard: sure. Mr. Leonard, he'd do it in a heartbeat. I swear he would do it
Christopher Hooper: Leonard, I think I feel like
Luke Neverisky: Leonard.
Justin Hale: there.
Ali Leonard: again. And he's not farming now.
Christopher Hooper: he did it as like a power move.
Ali Leonard: I think so. Honestly, he should have done that to the Republican what
Tyram: like
Ali Leonard: is it like every year is like the Republican convention or whatever. That's like a
Tyram: like CP pack or
Ali Leonard: gala like the big
Christopher Hooper: You're talking about the the Oh,
Ali Leonard: gala like inaugural ball. That's what I'm
Christopher Hooper: okay. I thought you're thinking about the like um the
Ali Leonard: thinking. He went
Tyram: something the White House correspondent
Christopher Hooper: journalist dinner thing.
Ali Leonard: to Oh,
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Luke Neverisky: correspondence.
Ali Leonard: yeah. No, he went to Bush
Christopher Hooper: Hell yeah.
Ali Leonard: Bush's inaugural ball with my mom, right? Isn't
Christopher Hooper: Nice. That's dope.
Luke Neverisky: So dope.
Ali Leonard: that dope? So
Christopher Hooper: Man, what? Man, I would love to go back to that
Ali Leonard: funny. Right. Even just like I'm like I didn't agree with it, but now I'm like I really wish we
Christopher Hooper: time.
Luke Neverisky: You know, it's not so
Ali Leonard: could.
Tyram: Were we ever so
Christopher Hooper: Yeah.
Luke Neverisky: bad.
Justin Hale: Mhm.
Tyram: young?
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, I remember enjoying the Daily Show. So
Ali Leonard: God. Oh
Christopher Hooper: good back then.
Justin Hale: It's still
Ali Leonard: my
Christopher Hooper: Um, yeah, I just I can't I can't take it
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, it's too
Christopher Hooper: anymore. It's probably very
Justin Hale: good there. It's
Ali Leonard: gosh. It's like I just don't want to hear it. I don't want to think about
Christopher Hooper: good. I just like, you know, I just can't do
Justin Hale: very That's
Ali Leonard: it.
Christopher Hooper: it.
Justin Hale: very fair.
Christopher Hooper: Um, all right. Y'all head to the university.
Luke Neverisky: sad.
Ali Leonard: Oh, there
Christopher Hooper: Um, you see the research towers. Uh, like in the back of the university in front of you is more of like a classic like college like you got the big green area in front of these like large academic buildings. you have um so it's like later in
Ali Leonard: we
Christopher Hooper: the day uh probably like around dinner time now um probably even later in the evening and so you've got a few people like around on the green but it's otherwise pretty quiet um you hear occasionally it seems like there's some dorm parties going on um but otherwise like um pretty low-key
Tyram: I'm gonna start hacking my
Ali Leonard: classic.
Tyram: sack. It's the possible way to say it. I didn't
Justin Hale: I love the way you said
Ali Leonard: Well, I don't love
Tyram: make it
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Ali Leonard: that. Can we take a democracy poll on how he says that
Tyram: up. Look,
Ali Leonard: or Since
Tyram: that's
Luke Neverisky: Yes.
Ali Leonard: we're all about democracy now, I just want to be sure that we're all in
Tyram: Look, that is a real expression that I did not
Justin Hale: that.
Tyram: make
Ali Leonard: agreeance. I'm just saying. But maybe it's different in this realm, you know? We
Justin Hale: We should change things in this
Ali Leonard: can change
Tyram: up. Yeah, I'm
Ali Leonard: things. So, we're all just staring at you while you're
Tyram: kicking my hacky sack
Justin Hale: room. Say something
Tyram: around. Get my hack on.
Christopher Hooper: Um,
Tyram: I actively chose not to say
Christopher Hooper: y'all y'all are y'all are silently watching him. Hack
Luke Neverisky: This is better.
Justin Hale: else.
Tyram: get my sack on. Take what you can f******
[02:23:40]
Christopher Hooper: it. Y'all y'all are in this circle watching watching Silus hack his sack when um a dude comes up says, "Oh, you sacking,
Justin Hale: Well, okay. All
Ali Leonard: like Damn it. Dan said
Tyram: get. I know
Christopher Hooper: bro? Sweet." And uh he
Justin Hale: right. Okay. Can we Hey, you know
Tyram: it. I roll like a dex check of some sort to
Christopher Hooper: gets his hacky
Justin Hale: how YouTube has like the skip ahead
Ali Leonard: it.
Tyram: like skillfully hacky stack. What's
Christopher Hooper: sack. Yeah, sure. Go in.
Justin Hale: button?
Ali Leonard: Yes.
Tyram: that? Should it be slide of hand or
Christopher Hooper: Um I think acrobatics
Tyram: what? Okay. They're the same. So,
Christopher Hooper: actually. Okay. Then um
Luke Neverisky: It's
Ali Leonard: It's
Tyram: 32. f*** you.
Ali Leonard: strange. Have you gone to lecture
Tyram: Anyway, 32 on the
Christopher Hooper: history. Yeah. You're
Tyram: acrobat.
Christopher Hooper: you're killing it. I don't know if I almost think
Luke Neverisky: great.
Christopher Hooper: like to be to to to
Ali Leonard: today?
Christopher Hooper: show off in hackysack you're just very non plus like just like maintaining the same height. It's like not even fancy. It's just like like consistent and the dude next to you
Tyram: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: comes and he's like oh like like kicking it all over the place but he's saving it pretty well keeping it going. Um and then uh um some other people come up says, "Oh, we sacking." And uh they join in
Ali Leonard: Wow. Oh,
Christopher Hooper: and uh we got a few more hacky sacks added in. And
Ali Leonard: f***.
Justin Hale: I'm so glad I never went to
Tyram: Oh,
Luke Neverisky: kind of bar college is something
Justin Hale: college.
Ali Leonard: Oh
Tyram: but bros, like I apparently have to go like uh do a seminar at the research lab. Do you guys know how to get in there? I totally space on the
Christopher Hooper: um
Tyram: details.
Christopher Hooper: Oh,
Ali Leonard: gosh.
Christopher Hooper: dude. What was your
Luke Neverisky: else. A bummer, right?
Ali Leonard: Gnarly.
Tyram: Do any of you guys do any of you bros know how to like
Christopher Hooper: question?
Tyram: uh get into the research
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, you open the
Luke Neverisky: didn't think about
Ali Leonard: Oh,
Tyram: lab? Oh, dude. I didn't think that was
Justin Hale: bruh.
Tyram: possible.
Christopher Hooper: door. Oh, what if it's
Luke Neverisky: that.
Ali Leonard: dude. What if it
Tyram: Oh s***. What if it's not?
Ali Leonard: isn't? What a crazy thought experiment we're
Tyram: Okay, this may not have been the best group of guys to try to get
Christopher Hooper: not? Oh,
Tyram: information of. I I acknowledge
Christopher Hooper: man.
Ali Leonard: having. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we're kind of seeing it now, but we're kind of
Tyram: that. No, I I'll just keep these guys here. You guys go do whatever. I'll I'll I'll catch
Luke Neverisky: Okay,
Ali Leonard: committed. Don't have to twist my
Tyram: up. Oh,
Christopher Hooper: What do you think? They're locking the
Tyram: don't they like keep track of who like comes and
Luke Neverisky: let's
Tyram: goes?
Christopher Hooper: door. You think
Tyram: Yeah, I heard one of the nerds say that
Christopher Hooper: so?
Tyram: uh that they kind of keep track of who gets
Ali Leonard: arm. Wow. I don't think
Christopher Hooper: Oh
Ali Leonard: they're anti- nerd here, dude. You might need to chill on
Tyram: in. Stoners hate her. That's a well established
Christopher Hooper: s***. Yeah. I
Luke Neverisky: That's
Christopher Hooper: think I've been saying that for years. They're like tracking us,
Ali Leonard: that. Oh god, you've started big brother
Tyram: fact.
Christopher Hooper: dude. Oh no.
Tyram: I mean, that's not even like being paranoid. They definitely keep track
Christopher Hooper: So they watch
Luke Neverisky: true.
Ali Leonard: here. They literally
Tyram: of people here. We're in a surveillance state. That's just that's
Christopher Hooper: me.
Ali Leonard: are for sure. They are definitely for sure.
Tyram: that's definitely a
Ali Leonard: Yeah. And we were kind of in the show Big
Christopher Hooper: So if we open the door, they know we've opened
Ali Leonard: Brother.
Tyram: thing. I think
Christopher Hooper: it. So why do I have to carry a key to my dorm?
Tyram: so. Oh, yeah. We use card key uh card keys to
Ali Leonard: Well,
Tyram: get everywhere on campus. Isn't that right?
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, but if they already know who I am,
Ali Leonard: H.
Christopher Hooper: why do I even need
Justin Hale: What
Christopher Hooper: that? Oh, I think it's like to give you a false sense of autonomy so you like
Ali Leonard: Hm.
Christopher Hooper: think you're choosing to enter the
Justin Hale: happened?
Christopher Hooper: door even though they could just open it if they wanted to. Oh s***. So it's like they want us to think we have free
Ali Leonard: Hey, Silus. Come back over here. We're like a mile
Tyram: I feel like if I just leave, they wouldn't even
Luke Neverisky: I was like completely
Ali Leonard: away at this
Tyram: noticed. Yeah, I'll just I'll just
Christopher Hooper: will. No, they
Justin Hale: Slowly walk
Ali Leonard: point.
Christopher Hooper: wouldn't. like slowly sacks are just
Justin Hale: away.
Christopher Hooper: like and they're they're like falling and they're like
Luke Neverisky: everything.
Christopher Hooper: whoa
Ali Leonard: very
Tyram: leave. I catch up.
Luke Neverisky: Did you like break some brains or something back
Ali Leonard: keen. It felt very
Christopher Hooper: whoa. All right. and y'all are heading to the research
Luke Neverisky: there?
Ali Leonard: heavy, I
Christopher Hooper: center. All right. So, uh yeah, it's um it's pretty obvious to see
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: because basically like the green is like where most of the younger people are and as you go further
Tyram: probably.
Christopher Hooper: back it seems to get more like institutional.
Ali Leonard: guess.
Christopher Hooper: Um the buildings get more uniform. Um, and eventually you, like I said, you see these like large uh towers that seem to be um, and you know, there's like signs, maps on the routes and stuff kind of giving you like a layout of the campus.
Ali Leonard: how
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Um, you you uh you head down a trail that leads you right to like the research they call it the research park. um where these three like large towers
Ali Leonard: hopeful.
Christopher Hooper: um are are kind of like around um this circle and uh yeah uh
Tyram: Does uh one of like the
Christopher Hooper: you are in the research
Tyram: uh towers have like a window that looks like super sinister? I assume that's where Commander Steel
Christopher Hooper: park.
Tyram: is, you know.
Christopher Hooper: Um they uh have y'all seen um Segrad Familia? Um all the towers kind of like have
Ali Leonard: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: those tower like looks to them of
Tyram: Yeah. So, it took literally a hundred years for them to build
Christopher Hooper: um
Tyram: these
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, they're still under construction.
Ali Leonard: They're building it
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, they're almost finished. They
Justin Hale: No.
Tyram: Does is there a
Justin Hale: It could be like
Tyram: crane that we could like shimmy up and like go to like get into the
Christopher Hooper: promise. One of the towers
Ali Leonard: now. That's all I
Tyram: tower? The job's practically done for us.
Christopher Hooper: does
Justin Hale: that.
Christopher Hooper: Um, cool. Yes. So, what are you
Tyram: Does it look like students hang out here or we kind of like in like more of like
Ali Leonard: need.
Tyram: a professional setting now?
Christopher Hooper: doing? Much more professional. There's like not really anyone walking around. It looks the the buildings look pretty quiet.
Tyram: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: You see a few lights on in various like levels of the towers, but the towers are are super tall. Um like you got to think probably like 30 to 40 floor uh tall
Luke Neverisky: Thank
Christopher Hooper: towers. And so within them you see
Luke Neverisky: you.
Christopher Hooper: um a few of them still lit up where maybe people are working. Um but largely it seems like most uh most of them are are quiet and closed down.
Luke Neverisky: All
Tyram: Yeah, we might need
Luke Neverisky: right. Should we ditch these student outfits or disguise
Tyram: to change the way we blend in
Ali Leonard: Damn. Should we just
Tyram: here.
Ali Leonard: kind of be adult
Tyram: Yeah.
Luke Neverisky: them? Yeah.
Tyram: So, is there like a like a like an alley or something we could duck into and turn into nerds real
Christopher Hooper: Uh, not really. It's like it's a campus. Uh, you might be able to
Ali Leonard: nerds?
Christopher Hooper: see um not an alley, but there are some gardens uh in various places around the campus. you might be able to duck into. Um, give me
Tyram: quick?
Christopher Hooper: a um, go ahead and give me a stealth check. Uh, let's do a group stealth check
Ali Leonard: Oh yeah, sure. Stealth
Christopher Hooper: here. Oh, that's an
Luke Neverisky: Sure. I'm so good at it. That is a net
Ali Leonard: me. Yeah.
Tyram: Uh 29.
Christopher Hooper: 20.
Luke Neverisky: 20. Never mind.
Ali Leonard: Oh. Well, that's actually not
Christopher Hooper: All
Ali Leonard: bad. Well, it's a plus one and it's a disadvantage. Okay. Damn
Christopher Hooper: right. Damn.
Justin Hale: and and well band.
Ali Leonard: it. I got a 9 20 and a 16. So,
Tyram: time. That's not
Christopher Hooper: Oh. Oh. But disadvantage s***. 17. Damn. All right. So, we got a dirt 20, a nat
Tyram: bad.
Christopher Hooper: 20 plus for total 24, and then Silus, what' you
Tyram: 29
Christopher Hooper: get? 29. Wow. Okay. And then uh
Ali Leonard: 17
[02:33:40]
Christopher Hooper: a 17 uh with rolling with disadvantage is pretty dang good. Um yeah, so um you duck into a pretty small little like um garden um with like there's a few benches around it. Um you you actually see that there is a couple like snogging on one of the branches, but y'all are able to kind of tuck away change uh change costumes and slide back
Luke Neverisky: All
Christopher Hooper: out without disturbing them or being noticed. It
Tyram: I feel like all
Ali Leonard: Freaking scandal over
Tyram: campuses have like the make out spot, you
Ali Leonard: here.
Luke Neverisky: right. I wouldn't know, but yeah,
Ali Leonard: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: seems um so y'all have
Luke Neverisky: that's what I
Ali Leonard: Yeah, that's right
Christopher Hooper: seen what research looked like in Liliana's trials.
Luke Neverisky: hear.
Tyram: know?
Christopher Hooper: um if you wanted to match people from that scene. Otherwise, if not, um y'all
Tyram: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: could take up other other um
Tyram: Um, were people in Liliana's trial wearing like really conspicuous
Ali Leonard: here.
Tyram: name tags where we could like read their names as we
Christopher Hooper: images.
Tyram: uh
Christopher Hooper: Um, let's uh you could give me a group
Tyram: All
Christopher Hooper: perception check if you want
Tyram: right. Uh
Christopher Hooper: to. 19. All right. What else we got?
Ali Leonard: I don't remember. s***.
Christopher Hooper: 5 28
Ali Leonard: Five.
Tyram: 19.
Christopher Hooper: 12 uh okay I would
Ali Leonard: I was so distracted by Liliana being upset that I don't remember anything from
Tyram: Silus wasn't affected by it at all, so he was paying
Justin Hale: 28. What the
Tyram: really. Drew straight up did not
Christopher Hooper: say yeah
Luke Neverisky: Let's get zero
Justin Hale: hell?
Tyram: care
Christopher Hooper: so so you picked up two of the names we'll
Tyram: apparently. Okay, who here's the worst at lying? Elizabeth lied the hell
Luke Neverisky: bucks.
Tyram: out of it earlier, so she's good. So, it should be me and her.
Ali Leonard: that. Yeah. I don't really want to take
Tyram: the although yeah like
Justin Hale: Yep. What
Ali Leonard: point though. I feel like I'm taking point a lot. You know what I
Tyram: mechanically I know that it should be me and Liliana who are like the ones
Justin Hale: is it? The section.
Tyram: who uh can lie their way out of
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Ali Leonard: mean? Yeah, we could do that. I'm
Tyram: situations.
Luke Neverisky: Perfect.
Justin Hale: I I lie all the time. No one believes
Ali Leonard: fine not being point.
Tyram: That's true. But I feel like Brew, we go way back and I feel like it's just a established fact. I'm a better liar than you
Justin Hale: me. I mean, I I lie. I lied. My pants
Tyram: are. That's true, but like
Luke Neverisky: I
Justin Hale: off. No one seems to
Ali Leonard: Ha. Did you literally lie your pants
Tyram: just on several occasions actually, yes, he literally lied his pants
Luke Neverisky: like your
Justin Hale: care.
Tyram: off, which didn't help the situation. I was kind
Luke Neverisky: pants. That's
Justin Hale: Yeah. People just don't believe
Ali Leonard: off? Interesting.
Tyram: of proving my point here.
Luke Neverisky: impressive. I've never lined my pants up.
Justin Hale: them. Yeah. Well,
Ali Leonard: Yeah, I was about to ask if it kind of helped the situation or hindered
Justin Hale: yeah, it's
Tyram: Okay. So,
Christopher Hooper: All right.
Tyram: uh, Brew and, uh, Ellmith, take the
Ali Leonard: Okay. Just cuz I'm feel like everybody's good in Eldora. I'm just kind of using it the
Tyram: names.
Christopher Hooper: All right, y'all. Uh, y'all
Justin Hale: true.
Ali Leonard: most.
Christopher Hooper: disguise up. Um, cool. You've got three towers. Um, pretty dark. Uh, what are we doing? We climbing on the outside. Going on the front
Luke Neverisky: We should just go in the front door,
Ali Leonard: That's
Tyram: Yeah, I guess we should try like the mundane methods until
Christopher Hooper: door.
Ali Leonard: a great
Tyram: we can't anymore.
Luke Neverisky: right?
Ali Leonard: question.
Tyram: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Um, you do see as you walk up
Ali Leonard: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: there appears to be like a camera uh pointed at the the front door. Um, you
Ali Leonard: We're going to have to know need know
Christopher Hooper: uh you try it. Uh,
Ali Leonard: a knock or something, aren't
Christopher Hooper: seems to be locked. There's a little card reader to the
Tyram: Open the door, my ass. Useless f******
Christopher Hooper: side.
Luke Neverisky: How could
Ali Leonard: we? Yeah, definitely the stoners lied for sure.
Tyram: stoners. If you can't trust stoners, what the hell is the world come to?
Justin Hale: Ridiculous. This is
Tyram: Okay. Um, do I see Were the two people who were making
Luke Neverisky: I?
Justin Hale: true.
Tyram: out, were they employees at the research center here? Okay, I want to go steal one of their key cards if I
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Yeah, I think so.
Tyram: can.
Christopher Hooper: Okay, cool. And you had what? A 28 for
Ali Leonard: There you
Christopher Hooper: yourself? 29. Okay, cool. Um, yeah, you're still moving pretty pretty quietly.
Tyram: 29. All
Christopher Hooper: Um, go ahead and give me a slight of
Ali Leonard: go.
Tyram: right.
Christopher Hooper: hand. 32. Oh my god. Okay. I was going to say 25 for one of them, 30 for both. So, you got both of them. Um, uh,
Tyram: 32. Oh,
Christopher Hooper: looks like, um, Bradley and Leah.
Tyram: were those two names we didn't have already? Okay, we're gonna we
Christopher Hooper: Uh,
Tyram: we're going to adopt the identities of Bradley and
Ali Leonard: What's my
Tyram: Leah. You can be Leah. I'll be Bradley.
Justin Hale: Your name is
Tyram: Her alias's a
Christopher Hooper: yep.
Luke Neverisky: What?
Justin Hale: Elizabeth.
Ali Leonard: him. No. What's the people that we know? What's their
Christopher Hooper: What are
Tyram: brew. So,
Luke Neverisky: So we
Justin Hale: Duh,
Ali Leonard: names?
Tyram: we got Bradley, Leah. Who are the two names we already
Ali Leonard: No, the other names. Oh my
Christopher Hooper: they? Yeah. You want to give them to
Ali Leonard: god.
Christopher Hooper: me?
Luke Neverisky: adopt. So who's getting Bradley and Leah? Sorry.
Tyram: had? Oh, sorry. I guess it should be me and you since the other two already
Luke Neverisky: Was it It's Silus and me.
Justin Hale: Bradley.
Ali Leonard: Um
Tyram: had names
Luke Neverisky: Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
Ali Leonard: Stephen with a ph in the front, not in the end.
Tyram: established. I don't understand what you meant by
Luke Neverisky: Cool.
Ali Leonard: And t h p h t
Tyram: that. So
Christopher Hooper: Oh, wow.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Justin Hale: Oh my
Ali Leonard: ven.
Tyram: the ph is like pronounced like an
Justin Hale: god. Never. Never mind. That's worse than
Tyram: S.
Luke Neverisky: Stephen. Yeah.
Justin Hale: hacky sack.
Ali Leonard: Stephen, that's one of my favorite
Christopher Hooper: Wow. Okay.
Ali Leonard: names. If I ever have to make up a name is
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Got it.
Ali Leonard: Steven. I already made one. It's you guys's
Justin Hale: We're making
Christopher Hooper: true.
Justin Hale: up the
Ali Leonard: turn. I heard the
Tyram: Bro, I feel like Topher is like inviting you in
Ali Leonard: name in the memory for
Tyram: to be part of the world building here.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Okay. It's s*******. The final
Justin Hale: names. Oh, okay. Yeah, the name
Christopher Hooper: name is s*******.
Justin Hale: I The name No, no, the name I heard was true.
Ali Leonard: sure.
Christopher Hooper: True. Okay.
Ali Leonard: True. How do you spell
Christopher Hooper: True.
Justin Hale: PH.
Ali Leonard: that?
Tyram: This is
Luke Neverisky: Where did they
Tyram: a weirdly common naming convention in Elderan. I guess this Bradley
Ali Leonard: Absolutely.
Tyram: spelled P H B R A D L E A
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, of
Tyram: Y.
Luke Neverisky: go? Yeah,
Justin Hale: H. All the phes are
Ali Leonard: How else did you spell
Christopher Hooper: course.
Justin Hale: silent.
Tyram: Has Eldora been spelled P A T L whatever this whole time? We just never brought it
Ali Leonard: it? We just never Yeah, we're like, "Oh, yeah, that's an Eldora name for
Tyram: up. It has the telltale PH at the
Ali Leonard: sure.
Christopher Hooper: Honestly, that's a that's a pretty good
Luke Neverisky: obviously.
Tyram: beginning.
Christopher Hooper: pretty good name, Feldora. Uh, okay, cool. Uh, you swipe a key card and get
Justin Hale: Mhm.
Tyram: Um,
Christopher Hooper: everybody in. Um, which which tower are you
Tyram: which one looks the most
Christopher Hooper: choosing? I, you
Ali Leonard: Oh
Christopher Hooper: know, I feel like there's left, center, and
Ali Leonard: yeah. Vibe check
Christopher Hooper: right, and I don't know. I feel like center's got to be the most evil,
Ali Leonard: them. Interesting. Interesting.
Tyram: evil? It would probably be like where the most important s***
Luke Neverisky: Well, you're in the right.
Justin Hale: You said
Ali Leonard: That's
Tyram: is, I would assume.
Christopher Hooper: right? Is right the most
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Justin Hale: right. Center.
Christopher Hooper: evil?
Justin Hale: Center or right? You said center.
Ali Leonard: it.
Christopher Hooper: Oh, not center right. Is there center and
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, also
Justin Hale: Right.
Tyram: I want this to stop
Luke Neverisky: definitely
Ali Leonard: Oh
Tyram: now. We're not doing this f****** Laurel and Hardy s***. No, wait. No, that was more of Abid and Costello
Christopher Hooper: right? All right. So, who's on
Luke Neverisky: right. Yeah.
Tyram: s***. f*** you. Okay.
Christopher Hooper: right?
Ali Leonard: god.
Tyram: So, I'm going to assume that Commander Steel is a pomp as f*** and he would be in the center
Christopher Hooper: All
Ali Leonard: Interesting.
Tyram: tower. Yeah, I bet he's the top floor and
Ali Leonard: Probably pretty high up,
Christopher Hooper: right. And that light's
Tyram: everything. Is there a directory in the building that we can see where like it says like where the different offices are?
Christopher Hooper: on. Yeah. So you pop in
Ali Leonard: too.
Christopher Hooper: and um there you come into kind of like a u like basically a atrium with two elevators uh coming in. There's
Luke Neverisky: Well,
Christopher Hooper: like uh a night shift guard there who is like reading a magazine just kind of ignores you as you walk in. Um there is a directory uh on
Justin Hale: What a
Christopher Hooper: the by the elevators and you see that there's like a radiology department, a acoustics department, a like weaponry department
Justin Hale: rib.
Christopher Hooper: and administrator at the top.
Ali Leonard: Red.
[02:43:40]
Christopher Hooper: Um well actually on the second to top and at the very top is um radiology or sorry I already said radiology but
Tyram: They have two
Christopher Hooper: uh I'm trying to figure out there there's our radiology and then there's their radiology and I'm
Tyram: officers.
Christopher Hooper: trying to figure out how to differentiate the two. Okay. The
Ali Leonard: Got
Christopher Hooper: first radiology is more like
Ali Leonard: it.
Christopher Hooper: spectroscopy.
Luke Neverisky: Mhm. I have no idea. I just said
Ali Leonard: Yeah, sure. I believe
Tyram: But of
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. All knows what I'm talking
Justin Hale: indubitably.
Ali Leonard: you. Yeah, I believe
Tyram: course,
Christopher Hooper: about.
Luke Neverisky: Yes, I have one in my
Justin Hale: Indubitably. Yeah, it's
Tyram: yes,
Christopher Hooper: Um and then
Ali Leonard: you.
Christopher Hooper: the top floor is like uh
Justin Hale: quite
Tyram: naturally. Experimentation sounds like Steel's
Ali Leonard: Yeah, the worst one.
Tyram: cup of tea. I was thinking acoustics when he first said that because
Luke Neverisky: backyard. Definitely up
Ali Leonard: So, it's probably where you would
Tyram: of all this like harmonic s*** that they got going
Luke Neverisky: there. That's true.
Justin Hale: Experimentation is
Ali Leonard: be. But they probably use the experimentation
Tyram: on. Yeah. Like he might be
Christopher Hooper: experimentation.
Justin Hale: where experimentation is
Ali Leonard: of the acoustics. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Tyram: like overseeing experiments from all of those departments, you
Ali Leonard: Yeah.
Luke Neverisky: All right, let's try that
Justin Hale: where it's where for secretly hiding all
Tyram: know.
Luke Neverisky: one.
Justin Hale: of the Pokemon in this
Ali Leonard: No. So, we're not going there.
Tyram: I kind of wish I had like
Christopher Hooper: Um, cool.
Justin Hale: campaign.
Ali Leonard: I refuse.
Tyram: established that like Mewtwo died somehow in the last campaign so that couldn't him out as a boss at some
Christopher Hooper: And oh, that's lazy. There's so many other Pokemon I can
Tyram: point. I just feel like Mewtwo is like objectively the coolest one to
Justin Hale: f***.
Ali Leonard: There we
Christopher Hooper: use. Yeah, Mewtwo is a great boss.
Tyram: use.
Christopher Hooper: Um, cool. Um, so I guess y'all are hopping into the elevator. Um, there is a key reader in the elevator.
Ali Leonard: go.
Tyram: Actually, I don't know if we want to leave a record of us going to his office. That might be bad for
Luke Neverisky: Take the
Tyram: us. Are there
Ali Leonard: We might need to use key card to
Christopher Hooper: There are floor there are
Ali Leonard: enter the floor once we get to the top to the floor. We went in the
Christopher Hooper: stairs. Um, another key reader to get into the
Tyram: stairs?
Christopher Hooper: stairwell. And as you get in, you see each floor door
Luke Neverisky: stairs.
Ali Leonard: stairs. Yeah.
Tyram: Okay, so that's a moot point.
Christopher Hooper: has its own key card.
Tyram: Um, okay. Do we think we could b******* our way into his office if we got up
Luke Neverisky: What would the story
Tyram: there? Yeah, we need to think about that now. Let's uh let's let's put our heads
Luke Neverisky: be
Ali Leonard: probably I don't
Tyram: together before we get in the elevator
Luke Neverisky: ever?
Tyram: here. Do we know what um if we look at the key cards that I stole, does it say what department they were in?
Christopher Hooper: It looks like they were
Ali Leonard: know
Tyram: Okay. Um, we could go in and act
Christopher Hooper: in
Tyram: like we got a question about um the acoustics experiment that we're
Christopher Hooper: acoustics. I will say
Luke Neverisky: All
Christopher Hooper: uh I think it would be more obvious to your
Luke Neverisky: right.
Christopher Hooper: characters in person that like likely the elevator won't even take you to a floor you don't have
Tyram: running.
Christopher Hooper: access
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, pretty
Ali Leonard: Yeah. So, we could go to
Tyram: Okay. Why don't we go to
Christopher Hooper: to.
Ali Leonard: acoustics.
Tyram: acoustics and just see what's there for
Luke Neverisky: good. That's not
Ali Leonard: Yeah, because if there's somebody from experiments in
Tyram: now? Yeah. Yeah. We can like
Luke Neverisky: good.
Ali Leonard: acoustics, we can steal their key
Tyram: f****** uh like bigger sword this thing where like we keep exchanging items till we get the ones we
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Yeah, man. Some great uh some great
Tyram: need.
Christopher Hooper: um stories references going on
Luke Neverisky: It's good
Ali Leonard: card.
Christopher Hooper: tonight. Um fables fables. Um
Ali Leonard: tables.
Tyram: There's also that one episode of Ed, Ed, and
Christopher Hooper: okay, so yeah, y'all are heading
Tyram: Eddie.
Christopher Hooper: to So y'all are
Ali Leonard: Yeah. The
Christopher Hooper: headed to the acoustics floor. Is that right? Cool.
Ali Leonard: lower.
Christopher Hooper: You swipe uh press acoustics floor.
Luke Neverisky: reference.
Christopher Hooper: Super easy. Um you uh you head
Ali Leonard: Yeah. Was it
Christopher Hooper: there, it opens up and uh elevator
Ali Leonard: too easy?
Tyram: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: door opens and it is it's dark. The
Justin Hale: Mhm.
Christopher Hooper: um looking uh you don't seem to see any activity on the floor.
Ali Leonard: God, no one's working at night.
Tyram: Um,
Christopher Hooper: Um, as you walk in a light seems to go
Ali Leonard: Lazy.
Tyram: Okay. I was about to ask about dark vision, but I guess it's a mood point. Okay. Uh, do we see anything in here that's uh catching our
Christopher Hooper: on and the uh yeah you see a few things you see uh they're um so like in front of you like lights are like turning
Tyram: eye
Christopher Hooper: on they seem to be reacting to you uh coming up. Um you see that there's like a bay of desks um to one corner. There's another corner with a few specific like uh completely sealed rooms um with heavy duty doors on them. Uh and that is to the left. And then to the right you see like a kitchen
Tyram: Does any of this look like uh where Steven was
Christopher Hooper: area. And
Tyram: when uh he worked
Christopher Hooper: um this looks pretty
Tyram: here? All right.
Luke Neverisky: Okay.
Tyram: Um, what what what should we do, guys?
Christopher Hooper: different.
Tyram: Just like investigate, see if we can like make sense of any of their experiments or and I guess we could check to see if somebody left a
Ali Leonard: Yeah, let's look at their notes
Tyram: a different key card here for us to
Ali Leonard: maybe. Yeah, maybe it's like they have an emergency key
Tyram: use. Maybe I mean, it won't hurt to
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Check any
Ali Leonard: card.
Tyram: look.
Christopher Hooper: Cool. So, um, y'all head to like the office cubicle space area.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: Um, let's see. Uh, people are looking for notes, key cards. Anything else in particular you're looking for?
Ali Leonard: Um, any evil wrongdoing. Well, that would be everywhere.
Tyram: Any like any like volatile power source that would like blow this whole place up if we put a bomb next to
Ali Leonard: Any
Justin Hale: If you have any sort of advancing plot device, that would
Luke Neverisky: Oh, I'm going take one of
Justin Hale: be
Ali Leonard: sure any information
Tyram: Okay. Owner roll investigation for plot
Ali Leonard: on trafficking if they're trafficking
Christopher Hooper: H.
Luke Neverisky: those.
Justin Hale: great.
Ali Leonard: people?
Christopher Hooper: Um, I'll say uh one thing is that like you're supposed to blow this place up, right? So, you can look
Tyram: hooks.
Christopher Hooper: into the office stuff for office things. Um, but I would imagine you might be interested in like how to blow the building up.
Ali Leonard: I
Tyram: Yep. I did explicitly say
Luke Neverisky: might
Ali Leonard: guess, but also saving
Tyram: I was looking for a place to blow the building up.
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Ali Leonard: people. I said I'm looking for places on people to save, so keep that in
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Um, why doesn't everybody give me a
Luke Neverisky: be
Ali Leonard: mind.
Tyram: Yes. All right.
Christopher Hooper: investigation check?
Justin Hale: I thought you'd never
Tyram: This is where we need you guys to throw up the average because I'm going to pull it down
Justin Hale: ask.
Ali Leonard: Olivia.
Tyram: this time. I did roll an
Christopher Hooper: Yeah,
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, I'm
Tyram: AT 20. So that's a
Christopher Hooper: crit. Two
Justin Hale: So did
Christopher Hooper: crits. 22 for
Justin Hale: I. Oh, my unicorn
Ali Leonard: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: you, Ellsworth. And Liliana with
Luke Neverisky: 19.
Ali Leonard: 22. Double
Christopher Hooper: a 19. Very good rolls, everybody. Is that just a straight 19,
Ali Leonard: this.
Tyram: 19. Oh, check
Christopher Hooper: Liliana? Wow. Wow.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah. Plus zero
Justin Hale: died.
Ali Leonard: Hell
Tyram: out smarty pants over
Christopher Hooper: So, Elizabeth, what did you roll in the
Luke Neverisky: investigation.
Christopher Hooper: die? 18. Jesus Christ. So, we had 18,
Ali Leonard: yeah.
Tyram: here. Holy s***.
Christopher Hooper: 19, 20, and 20. Okay. My god. Okay. Um, why don't you
Tyram: Wow. I f****** hate you
Christopher Hooper: all give me
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Tyram: tonight.
Christopher Hooper: Can you all give me four different things you're looking
Justin Hale: Mhm.
Christopher Hooper: for? Okay, then you all find the same thing
Justin Hale: Mhm.
Ali Leonard: 18. His
Christopher Hooper: and it's Bob's daughter's soccer
Ali Leonard: fine. No, no, shut up,
Tyram: Um, f*** you,
Justin Hale: No.
Tyram: Justin. Okay.
Luke Neverisky: notes around
Justin Hale: Whoa.
Luke Neverisky: the harmonic whatever the f*** thing that uh Stephen
Christopher Hooper: practice. Okay, cool. You're you're looking up Stephen stuff. Very good.
Luke Neverisky: mentions.
Tyram: Um,
Christopher Hooper: Okay. Um, cool.
Ali Leonard: R.
Christopher Hooper: Actually, let's just uh we'll resolve that first and then y'all can start thinking about maybe follow-ups or or other things. So, you are looking
Tyram: Excuse
Christopher Hooper: at um like more of the research side. you see um there are a few fields
Tyram: me.
[02:53:40]
Christopher Hooper: of study that they have been following and um this department is kind of like uh kind of like a foundational research that kind of stems a lot of other research. Um and it has to do with lots of like um core uh think of it in our world as like you study physics and you study like how atoms work and that becomes like foundational to how like biology, chemistry, like you know ast like astrophysicists stuff like that like all kind of stem from like that foundational like understanding of how the world works. you have kind of that here where there's this deep understanding of a like um the the way I'm describing it is using like music and sound as like a proxy for basically a deep understanding of how the the weave intertwines the um realities of both the the physical realm but also the like astral realm and the realm at which the the gods exist. Um and they are creating this. They understood that there are specific like harmonies that can be achieved um through sound but also imbued through different instrumentation such as through religious process and through magical process. Um, and through physical elements like um, what they find with violescence to be able to um, not only give them like our harmonic sound, what you would hear, but also a harmonic um, resonance between um, these like phases of reality. And they're able to do this to basically pull in um these fabric from other planes. And doing that uh basically creates energy power uh thing um in our world um that allows them to wield in different ways. And so this is the foundational aspect to how their knights achieve a lot of their power, how um they are also able to um there's this other campaign of how they are doing deep uh influencing so like influencing work of um basically creating a uh effect on people's minds that steers them towards uh a specific uh religious alignment. Um so almost like a a brainwashing at distance would be kind of like how we would think about it. um and would steer them. And something that they've grown to understand is that having that religious attunement actually increases the power by which their Eldoran god uh like establishes within the godly realm. Um, and then it creates this like incredible feedback loop where uh basically the way that the like pantheon obtains its power is through belief. And so you're able to like consolidate power of belief and then though uh thus in increasing the power of that that pantheon and then the pantheon is better able to then feed back power into its followers. And so um they have had create a way to influence the mind to create more followers and create that that feedback loop. Um, I'm going to take that high insight from Liliana before. uh you're connecting that it seems like they have learned some of this from Eichk was able to exist is is through this like very lowlevel almost subconscious like um following of him wherein that you don't think you're not thinking that you're a follower echek you're thinking that you're you love rock music or you are passionate in this way. Um the way we think about it in our world is like um in Greek mythology a lot of the gods were like embodiment of like war or music or you know different things. It's not like necessarily a belief but also like an embodiment of an entity. And um echek is like much more of that versus like explicit belief in them. It's like a um practice
Luke Neverisky: All
Christopher Hooper: of like when you're doing war, you're doing like the will of Mars, right? And so when you're doing um this more aggressive like impassion music, you're doing the will of echek and thus powering them. So it seems like they have actually it's it's not coincident. it is actually learned
Luke Neverisky: right.
Christopher Hooper: from eek and their understanding of that. Um that's what you that's what you get with with that so far. Um let's steer who
Tyram: Um, I have a question. Um,
Christopher Hooper: wants to go next.
Tyram: do I find if they have been researching any potential weaknesses like counters to this resonance? Like they might be looking like to try to stop it or something like have they discovered any way to
Christopher Hooper: Yes. Mhm.
Tyram: like weaken this resonance that they're trying to experiment with?
Christopher Hooper: Um so it becomes a thing of uh one of the big researchers is that with this feedback loop they can quickly basically have a runaway feedback loop that becomes basically unstable for them. Um and so they basically have devices and operations to very specifically uh create dissonance and disrupt like basically artificially weaken various programs. It turns out that um they were researching the dragon orbs as a way if they could obtain them, they could use potentially the the dragons to disrupt um a lot of elements both like destroy like be able to consume some of the uh like the stronger elements if they got out of hand. Uh potentially they could disrupt like they could steer religiosity towards that toward towards the dragon gods. Um, and with the orbs, they could actually they believe that they could control it. Um, but they haven't been able to obtain them yet. And so there is some research there's like basically research theory on using those as like potentially a backup
Tyram: Okay. So, yeah, I'll definitely take note of
Christopher Hooper: plan.
Tyram: that. We get back into dragon or mode
Christopher Hooper: Did you
Tyram: later.
Christopher Hooper: have any questions about what I was telling you, Luke, or any
Luke Neverisky: So it sounds like there's like try to recap there's music which kind of like string theory of the universe that is essentially amplified via biolescence which allows users such as
Christopher Hooper: followup?
Luke Neverisky: Eldor to be able to communicate to multiplaner forces or whatever. And in doing so, they've been able to mimic essentially through study and this finding what each
Christopher Hooper: Yep.
Luke Neverisky: check can do. All
Christopher Hooper: Yep.
Luke Neverisky: right. Among other things, but yeah.
Ali Leonard: crushed it.
Christopher Hooper: Exactly. Um, cool. Let's
Ali Leonard: Crush
Christopher Hooper: uh let's go to Ally or Justin now.
Ali Leonard: it.
Luke Neverisky: Okay.
Justin Hale: I listening to all that I still got nothing that relates to acoustic
Christopher Hooper: No. Well, uh we also have uh building for uh points of where to explode.
Ali Leonard: Um, yeah,
Christopher Hooper: Um or I think you were also looking
Justin Hale: experimentation. All
Ali Leonard: Justin should do
Christopher Hooper: at what who to who to save. Ally,
Ali Leonard: that.
Christopher Hooper: is that some
Ali Leonard: Yeah, but I don't know if that's really
Luke Neverisky: You also need to get key cards for uh the
Ali Leonard: helpful. I mean, we do need
Christopher Hooper: Okay.
Ali Leonard: key cards. I just wanted to see if they were doing anything else
Luke Neverisky: other
Justin Hale: right. I can absolutely look for weak
Ali Leonard: bad,
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. Okay. All right. Brew, you got a
Justin Hale: points.
Christopher Hooper: net 20 for 24. Um, you see an elevator.
Ali Leonard: too.
Tyram: What?
Christopher Hooper: an elevator shaft. It's a great place to blow up. You
Justin Hale: Nice centralized
Christopher Hooper: think? Yeah. You think? Uh probably timed explosives at the base of both elevator shafts. This thing would just simple as
Luke Neverisky: Easy
Ali Leonard: Easy peas.
Christopher Hooper: that. And you could do that from the base
Luke Neverisky: peas,
Justin Hale: location. Lemon squeeze.
Christopher Hooper: floor. You don't even need to go up any
Ali Leonard: Just
Christopher Hooper: higher. And
Luke Neverisky: right?
Justin Hale: Well, lucky
Christopher Hooper: in fact, you think probably with your key cards, you could get to all
Ali Leonard: damn.
Christopher Hooper: three buildings.
Justin Hale: day. H that is good information to
Ali Leonard: This acoustic floor.
Christopher Hooper: Easy. All right, Ally, you're looking for
Ali Leonard: Interesting. Damn.
Christopher Hooper: for um
Ali Leonard: We We crushed
Christopher Hooper: either more good or more bad,
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Ali Leonard: that. I'm looking
Christopher Hooper: basically.
Ali Leonard: for more bad, I think. I'm not looking for more good.
Luke Neverisky: We got enough
Justin Hale: know. You got good or better?
[03:03:40]
Ali Leonard: I want to like because if we're blowing my my fear is that we're blowing places up and we don't know if there's like they have I'm sure they have like dungeons or secret places
Luke Neverisky: good
Ali Leonard: or they're keeping people like we've seen prisoners but like I don't want to like blow up
Tyram: No, I mean that's
Christopher Hooper: Yeah. No, I get
Ali Leonard: people. Isn't that weird?
Tyram: fair. Like we are trying to minimize that to be sure.
Ali Leonard: I just want to like now that I've seen them like, oh yeah, here we actually we're parading prisoners
Christopher Hooper: it.
Ali Leonard: out in the open. I just want to make
Tyram: Um okay. Well, um we know that the factory at least
Christopher Hooper: Mhm.
Tyram: is going to be no crew tomorrow while they or at least like skeleton crew or whatever while they do like
Ali Leonard: sure. Yeah, because they have to do somebody has to retrofit it. So, I'm assuming there's going to be some people, but maybe
Tyram: retrofits. Turns out the skele the retrofit crew
Ali Leonard: they're not the bet. They're good
Tyram: all huge pieces of s***. It's like every single one of
Ali Leonard: people. I hope
Tyram: them.
Ali Leonard: so. That's how you get on that
Tyram: Yeah, you have to like kick a dog in order to join that crew. Um, I mean, honestly though, that's like the best we're going to be able to manage, I bet, with the uh the
Ali Leonard: crew. Yeah. I don't
Christopher Hooper: Um,
Ali Leonard: think we'll be able to be like, "Everybody out. There's a gas
Tyram: factory. So, I guess while we're here, we can check to see if there's like a a hidden
Ali Leonard: leak. Like I worry that it's like that
Tyram: like
Ali Leonard: your experimentation floor is literally people they're experimenting
Tyram: We could try to go up and
Christopher Hooper: I mean, you saw it,
Luke Neverisky: I
Ali Leonard: on. You know what I mean? It's all else
Christopher Hooper: right? You saw in Steven's
Ali Leonard: spits. So
Christopher Hooper: vision, right? That they're
Ali Leonard: like
Tyram: see.
Christopher Hooper: um experimenting on people, right?
Ali Leonard: maybe maybe I did. So yeah. So I want information on how to get up there then so we
Tyram: Well, if we know it's the top
Luke Neverisky: mean,
Ali Leonard: cannot kill
Tyram: floor, Silus could try to just scale the building and get us in there that
Christopher Hooper: Um I and
Luke Neverisky: Too bad I already
Tyram: Okay.
Christopher Hooper: I'll just uh let's see uh you rolled an 18 for a total of dirty 20. Is that right, Ellie? 22. Okay.
Ali Leonard: them. 22
Christopher Hooper: So we'll say um yes you confirm that there are patients with subjects happening in the
Luke Neverisky: used
Christopher Hooper: experimentation room. Um this is specifically to research a lot of the like uh influence influence research effectively brainwashing research um that they are doing in in the
Ali Leonard: Are you telling me that they might be too far brainwashed?
Christopher Hooper: study. No, I'm saying that's
Ali Leonard: Is that what you're telling
Christopher Hooper: where they study how brainwashing
Tyram: Well, we saw something similar back in High Forge. Remember that's where like uh Briel Bonal or was it April Bonal or was it just April
Christopher Hooper: works. I think it was
Tyram: Bonal? Okay. like they were
Christopher Hooper: paper
Tyram: like experimenting on people there and there were people there who were still like lucid enough to escape. So we might want to go
Luke Neverisky: That's
Ali Leonard: me? Yeah. Yeah, I'll
Christopher Hooper: bonial. All right. And then Silus,
Ali Leonard: definitely
Christopher Hooper: you did a followup on on Liliana's, but you get your
Tyram: check
Christopher Hooper: own research. You you rolled a net 20 for a total of
Tyram: 19
Christopher Hooper: what? 19. Okay. It's still a net 20.
Ali Leonard: check. All right, I saw
Christopher Hooper: Let's not waste it. So, uh, what do you want to
Luke Neverisky: true.
Ali Leonard: that 20
Christopher Hooper: research or
Ali Leonard: something.
Tyram: Um,
Luke Neverisky: Okay.
Tyram: I would like to see if anybody left uh the key card for um or like there's like
Christopher Hooper: investigate?
Tyram: a security guard who left like a master key somewhere behind that I could try to
Christopher Hooper: Oh.
Tyram: use to go to other floors.
Christopher Hooper: Okay. What you find is uh you don't find a key exactly. You find that there is a schedule and it looks like one of the the like head scientists that you think might be doing research uh with steel. um joins the factory people uh for events. Apparently his wife uh is is close with
Tyram: Are they going to be at uh Ellit's
Christopher Hooper: the the factory people. Maybe lunch, birthday
Tyram: brunch? Okay, so it looks like we're all going to lunch
Ali Leonard: You think that they would hang out with the plebeians? Oh, now
Tyram: now. It's mission critical.
Ali Leonard: you want to go to lunch.
Tyram: Yes.
Christopher Hooper: party.
Ali Leonard: All of a sudden, you want to join my lunch and
Christopher Hooper: And with that cliffhanger, that's all
Ali Leonard: you're not making fun of
Tyram: I never once made fun
Christopher Hooper: for
Justin Hale: Oh
Ali Leonard: it. Oh my
Tyram: of your
Justin Hale: boy.
Ali Leonard: god.
Christopher Hooper: tonight. Look who wants to eat now.
Ali Leonard: Mhm. And you have to dress in
Christopher Hooper: Oh, yeah. It is a costume
Ali Leonard: costume. It's a costume party.
Tyram: lunch.
Christopher Hooper: party. Has to be. What do
Ali Leonard: Who wants to be the
Tyram: I mean, I guess Silus is kind of vaguely monkeysized. I guess I could be a
Christopher Hooper: I look like? A monkey's
Tyram: monkey.
Christopher Hooper: uncle.
Ali Leonard: monkey? And then somebody could be the dog. in the near brought the animals. That'd
Justin Hale: Can I dress the dog up like Colonel
Ali Leonard: be really
Tyram: It' be
Luke Neverisky: That's
Ali Leonard: funny. Um, look at the
Tyram: weird not
Ali Leonard: painting. Check the painting and see if there's a reference that if there's somebody as close
Justin Hale: Sanders? Oh, the dog's playing poker.
Ali Leonard: to Colonel Sanders as you can
Justin Hale: Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's got to
Ali Leonard: get. I'll post it in the
Tyram: to
Luke Neverisky: important. There
Justin Hale: be. And if there's not, I'll ask AI to put one
Luke Neverisky: you go.
Justin Hale: in.
Ali Leonard: chat. It was there the whole time. I don't care. I f****** hate that
Justin Hale: See what you got against dogs playing poker.
Ali Leonard: painting. Well, the real painting I'm talking about has an opera made after it. And the opera f****** sucks. Well, it's not an opera. It's a musical. And the musical f****** sucks. Especially when sung by opera
Justin Hale: Oh, what do you guys got? What do you got against opera
Ali Leonard: singers. Well, you know, do enough operas around college opera singers for like 10 years straight. You'd hate them,
Christopher Hooper: Wow. Yeah. Preach.
Luke Neverisky: Wow.
Justin Hale: singers? Z
Christopher Hooper: Preach. All right. Thank you all. Hope you had
Luke Neverisky: Thanks.
Ali Leonard: too. Thank
Christopher Hooper: fun. You grab
Justin Hale: snap. Thanks
Ali Leonard: you.
Tyram: Hell yeah. Okay, so we need to tomorrow. We got a pretty big day ahead of us. I' got to blow a lot of s***
Justin Hale: to
Christopher Hooper: him. You do. You
Luke Neverisky: Yeah.
Christopher Hooper: do big
Ali Leonard: Can't believe the the lunch is mission critical
Justin Hale: That's Toper's plan all
Christopher Hooper: day. You know, you know when you you make a a plan for as DM and you're like, "Oh, three sites,
Ali Leonard: now.
Tyram: up.
Christopher Hooper: three sessions, no problem." And then your party's like, "What if we turn three sites into six
Justin Hale: along.
Ali Leonard: I
Christopher Hooper: sessions?" You're like, "All right, nice.
Ali Leonard: mean, you should have assumed that with us
Tyram: I mean, I'm going to lay a little bit of the
Christopher Hooper: I'll I'll take that. No
Luke Neverisky: I
Tyram: blame at your feed here because we spent a whole f****** session listening
Luke Neverisky: got material prep
Tyram: to Jennifer Culage and Shan Connory flirt with each other and we had no
Christopher Hooper: problem.
Ali Leonard: already.
Tyram: f****** control at that part.
Justin Hale: I'm not
Tyram: Oh. Uh, Luke, that was a thing that happened, by the
Luke Neverisky: forever. I see. I
Justin Hale: wrong.
Luke Neverisky: see.
Justin Hale: That was indeed a thing. And it was
Luke Neverisky: All right. I missed
Ali Leonard: I wasn't even there for
Christopher Hooper: I gotta say my um my NPCs have been um pretty on point, I
Ali Leonard: it. Interesting
Tyram: way.
Christopher Hooper: think. What are you saying,
Ali Leonard: take on that.
Christopher Hooper: Ellie?
Ali Leonard: I didn't say nothing. I didn't say
Tyram: It is literally being recorded right
Luke Neverisky: it.
Justin Hale: great. You can't prove
Ali Leonard: s***. It's not like this is being recorded.
Tyram: now.
Justin Hale: nothing. You can't prove
Ali Leonard: God damn it. You
Tyram: I I see the recording
Justin Hale: it. I'll see you in
Ali Leonard: can't prove that it's being recorded.
Tyram: icon at the top of the screen right
Justin Hale: court. Yeah. Oh,
Ali Leonard: You can't prove
Tyram: now. Use your eyes. It's there for you to
Justin Hale: yeah. Prove
Luke Neverisky: Adam,
Justin Hale: it. proof. Proof that I
Ali Leonard: it. Prove that my eyes even
Tyram: see. You know, I assume you're wearing gl you wouldn't bother wearing glasses
Justin Hale: have
Tyram: if your eyes didn't
Luke Neverisky: cool.
Ali Leonard: work. Prove that my glasses actually are my
Tyram: work.
Christopher Hooper: You think the court is going to watch this whole threehour recording just to dig up this
Ali Leonard: prescription. I don't think so. I have to
Christopher Hooper: evidence. Um, all
Ali Leonard: tell
Tyram: All right.
Christopher Hooper: right. Good night everybody.
Luke Neverisky: Yeah, we
Justin Hale: a night guys. Bye.
Ali Leonard: you.
