i don't i don't mind if they want to hear us talk about popeye yeah like yeah we just been
talking about popeye it's pretty neat yeah i like how that's your code name for you know
he he was for what zorn you know no i don't please tell me you know do you elaborate what's popeye
what's popeye code name if you want to get banned on twitch we can yeah no divulge my safe word
divulge my safe word go ahead go ahead i'm listening i can't get you banned on twitch you know i'm just
doing you a favor you know it's thanks okay okay so apparently the irl guy that popeye is based off of
was named frank rocky feagle and uh yeah yeah and the reason why his face is like why he has his
chin so forward is because he barely had any teeth left so the gap imagine like if all of your teeth
are gone there's a gap right there right so if you would then like still close your face close your
mouth your your jaw is way closer to your upper jaw at that point like the normal so it it's like
it's like slightly deforms the face
oh my god we've learned so much today apparently feagle was a local brawler famous for his fist fighting
skills and um uh he was also like really good with kids and kids would ask him how he was so
strong and good at fighting and he would say that it was uh because he ate his spinach
oh wait that's so wholesome that's so cute i would be just like him did you uh even though we play
mainly pathfinder on this channel did you know that popeye was one of the first non-dnd licensed
characters to get a dnd statue no what the fuck he he has one stat sheet but a variance in uh in stats
depending on who drew him that's incredible oh yeah like so the size of his his arm suggests his strength
stat i get it yeah like there's a difference between the comic book popeye and the animated popeye
because animated popeye does like heinous acts of strength yes like stupid shit like it's closest
to uh the the real popeye yeah so for anyone who wants to know uh popeye's stats in order are um uh 60
uh 63 strength uh he's stronger than he's stronger than the canonical strongest like physically
strongest god in all of the indie uh he has 18 intelligence uh he has six just sin down onto the
motor plane and suddenly they hear it it's specifically explained that he has 18 strength by base and he
gains 63 strength upon the consuming spinach what the and uh he has six wisdom oh yeah
he has 21 dexterity oh yeah it makes sense uh 22 constitution and 18 charisma uh popeye is by all
means um the most broken melee character in all of dnd now you know all of that makes sense to me yeah like
he has more strength than actual stated uh physical gods like gods were supposed to manifest physical
strength popeye has like about eight more strength than the strongest one ever stated jesus i love that so
much that's so much that's so good i want to be just like him when i'm older i should start wearing
out my teeth right now what don't don't act like he ain't got the riz he pulls olive oil dude he says
incoherent mumble jumbles and he gets a girl
he says mumbo jumbo and he is like the most beloved motherfucker on the planet
do you know how many jobs this guy has uh
all i was thinking is like you know the see him being so nice to the kids and their ovaries
start shaking that's what that was my yeah exactly exactly and he makes how many kids eat their spinach
i i could see why olive oil is interested just saying yeah and no teeth
oh my god shut up my limited power i can't wait to get
tongue is a muscle you're gonna give her the gummer gummers
gummy wummies
pop open the lid on her can if you know what i'm saying
the guy who asked for uh asked for a hamburger today
is he promises to pay you tuesday oh did you give me a hamburger today i will give you a hamburger
on tuesday or like some like that forget what i mean i love that guy he's always hustling
i love that one broken and everybody do you want to know about him pick me
is everyone else he got just me i thought it was a popeye bit
yeah
the moment i realized the weakness of my flesh it disgusted me quick record we're gonna put it
on an album it's just like auto tuning hey i think it fixed itself i'm so sorry i'm so sorry
do you want to know funny like an actual genuine funny yeah yeah so about the guy who goes i will
trade you one hamburger for today for the payment of a hamburger or whatever
so in in swedish his name is frasse which means you know the consumer
uh but uh but uh but it's like turned sort of into a name uh so the fun part about that
is that you know how you have popeye's chicken and biscuits and whatever like that
as a chicken and biscuits right now yeah no here's the thing so go frasse has a hamburger chain in sweden
i wonder if i can get a hamburger today and then pay them back tuesday what if there's a burger loan
program wait yeah do they have a burger loan program that would be the peak thing right i hope they used
to have that but i don't know if they still do hey would you take a down payment on a double cheeseburger
with a 50 apr like would you please please burger today pay tomorrow i think they did a reverse thing once
where they basically where you could buy a like a stamp thing and then just get a bunch of deals
on a bunch of burgers every single day of the week i would convert my diet to burger
i would just eat burger look all i'm saying froggy it's knowing you it would take less than that
if you convert your entire diet to burger like we just offer you a burger you're just like i live off
these now hey okay all right all right all right we don't need a special booklet or a stamp or nothing
like we didn't need to say it out loud but like here we are
i've been eating nachos for the past two weeks it's all right i've been eating pork loin for like the last
week okay that makes me feel better i bought a 45 pound bag of rice so i'm eating rice
what is it like one of the one of the um stores that like me and fear go to
they uh they do like a bunch of like bulk stuff and it's sam's it's sam's club um they do a bunch
of bulk stuff and you can get like a big like 10 pound pork loin for like 20 bucks and i was like
i'm gonna throw that shit in some marinade for two days and i'm gonna cook it and we've just been
slicing it and eating it with stuff and like that's just like i also found like my favorite ramen for
like a buck a bowl and so i'm like i can make my favorite ramen crack an egg put some slices of pork
loin in that joker infinitely better yeah and just like i i i could literally feed myself for two
weeks off like 50 bucks and i was just like yes this is true adulting oh my god what the
fuck you buy like one pound of meat here and it's like 18 dollars what the hell i'm so off right now
what the oh wait canadian inflation never mind our prices are right never mind the spits
no food inflation is like it it's hitting in america too like any other place except for like
the the bulk buy stores like prices are heinous yeah i used to have survived just like
on a hundred dollars a month just for like groceries and food now it's gone up to like 300 to 400
sometimes i'm like this is i must be doing it's entirely wrong this is garbage no i can't believe
zord is surviving off of like prime rib and like dude caviar i buy like just just bags of rice and
shit like yeah yeah it's bad i went to the store recently and like when we bought the big ass 45 pound
bag is that uh we saw a piece of meat like less than five feet away from it um and and we see the
price on this meat it's like maybe three pounds worth of meat that's pretty neat and whatever right
it's like 55 bucks
okay
so chat your runes welcome back to another exciting episode of raccoons this will be a
slightly shorter episode today this is the preamble before we end things uh there will be a delay in
terms of stuff because uh we are going on a trip and uh and some of us will be away rocket ship yes
in the favorite rocket ship it's like i will be away i'm going on a little trip so uh
yeah so that's made for context that's why things get uh will be delayed a little bit and the final
episode instead of potentially potentially uh next weekend or something uh because it would have been on
31st but i'll be away at that time uh so it'll be back whenever we can get back so we'll have to kind
of figure that out and announce everybody of the actual finale finale of raccoons so
over that also note for you easy uh just leave this intro in
it's not much it's not gonna be like the biggest thing in the world for everybody just
leave whatever the hell this intro is this is for the podcast listeners and for the twitch viewers
so they can get just a little slice of what happens during the live streams
and so you said that i immediately started racking my brain for the most offensive thing i could say
and of course you did i know that comes real easy to you but i need you to calm down
i've i've learned more slurs from you than anybody else in the world
we know you're a war criminal you don't need to re-establish the fact yeah i'm scared that if we
ever if we ever go to like a restaurant or something i'm just gonna have the preliminary
warm people going like hey hey look like she might say some stuff because she probably doesn't like you
oh no sorry froggy this is the way of the world now what the yeah you did to yourself you should
just shut your mouth like you show us this froggy
just try to make a little joke a little joke
taking you out to eat and then you not being satisfied with the service and waiting in the
parking lot for the server to come out to their car don't don't you do it don't you say don't you
fucking do it froggy if if it was one little funny joke why did you do it every single yeah with
vitriol and anger like immediately you started posting the facebook after the encounter and you
all realize the reason why zoran wants easy to finally leave it in is to keep proof that this
is actually happened yeah whenever people come in going zoran that 911 joke was a little bit too
harsh and i'm like i learned it from her she's a canadian she thinks she has a safety card you know
you should have seen my buddy i wonder if that blast can melt steel beams
i have uh i have a good friend of mine who's russian speaking of putting people on the list
um he's super awesome he does cyber security for uh for like various companies and even the government
and stuff like he like if he wanted like if he was a russian ball he would have figured it out by now
but uh whenever we were brewmating and stuff and i would send him payment for all the rent and stuff
because he just had everything centralized in his name uh every single time i would send him payments
uh things of the banking app i could leave a note for what it is so for easy tracking i put nuclear bomb
research ak-47 ammo uh like balaclavs like like i just put every terrible stereotype that we would joke
about with each other because he loved white striped shirts oh dude me and him joked about
all the time so uh eventually he just came up to me and go like hey zoran um this is really
fucking funny like this is phenomenal but i need you to stop because i i still do not have my citizenship
yet i'm like oh shit if they look into this it's gonna be a problem i'm like okay i'll stop oh my god
and so for my last one i did a little nuclear research as a tree and he's like
fucking stop we've got this last one
it's the last one i swear oh my god zoran what the fuck dude i'm gonna i got my
password banging on his door i swear i'm so scared i just got my passport just this past week and i'm
like excited to come into america but then at the same time i don't know
what list i'm on thanks to zoran just like saying yes about me all over the place and i'm gonna get
to the border and they're gonna check me and they're not gonna let me in i'm gonna i'll tell
them you're perfectly fine they still let me through borders and you're the one who lights cars on fire
so that works great for me we're not getting into that what are you all right so for context with
that all right let me let me no no no no it's better if they don't know it's better if they don't know
i will no i want them to know because it's very sweet but it's also like they're fucking crazy all
right so for those who don't know i have a wife of like we're coming up on 13 years right so um
we're like sitting like cuddling and flirting the other day and she's like but like when it's like
oh you're flirty she's like she's like i love you so much because she's very slobic she is from poland

he knows he knows he knows he knows speaking of froggy dictionary slurs what happened last time
i'm rocking that that that bit's getting old now
now it's getting old i mean we have to refresh we have to refresh it because it's funny every
other day soren it's been over a year oh god soren it's been over a year have you been a racist for a
year it's soren oh my god that's it been like way before that didn't you like grow up with it
oh my god soren i'm dead i'm actually phoning now this is recorded i'm recording it was so funny
whenever you're in the discord girl like jack kept calling me i'm like i'm so glad it just stuck
oh my god sabotage it's their favorite fucking thing and i hate it so much because someone who doesn't
know me is gonna come in and be like oh my god we like me and zoran were in a collab with brickie
and matara the other day and we were we were talking about you and i was like probably one of
the greatest experiences we've had with froggy is where like the froggy says slurs jokes no or like
froggy's bird is racist jokes bridged the gap and mouse started talking about it on stream and we
we were just losing our shit because it's like it's like the culmination of a bit coming together
yes i've never been more miserable in my life it's true even mouse mouse was like her bird is so racist
i'm starting to i'd like i'd like ever so often because i know we joke about like oh joke like
zorn stills jokes and froggy still jokes and stuff yeah i find it really funny because whenever
they start doing the things like like you know every so often i kind of do to like oh
i'll like runners dude or something like that right i started noticing other vtubers start doing it
i'm like i wonder how that trail went i don't know what you're talking about i wonder how that got infected
making the rounds yeah that definitely wasn't mine that that was a mean way before me but uh the the
the cry like like that they know they're talking about me dude i've seen that get infected to other
people as well and i sit there going they don't know why that's funny they don't know why that's the
funniest thing just to randomly pull out the story behind that is really good you want to know the
name of that like the thing yeah that happens the lore tell the say yeah the lore it's called a it's
called a micro accent what the micro accent i thought it was echolalia where everyone just
echoes but when we form an entire new way of speaking where words and like certain things get
a new type of meaning based only within one group of people and onlookers from outside goes what the
fuck like when we call froggy races ah yes okay
hey uh yeah i want to start making a drive that i just want a like a book of uh-ohs of all the clips
it looks like a documented thing of it but of course is it just an inside joke no it's not inside
anymore that shit breach containment no we try to keep it in a little bit but it was too strong it was
too funny any any smart person will know like that we're joking and it's making light of things but of
course we do understand like if anyone ever comes up and it's like oh my god this person
is like we'll all come out of the woodwork be like you're stupid as hell you don't know what
the hell you're talking about we'll all jump at that person but see it would be kind of funny if
you took a clip of froggy from rot goons out of context where she says that she's gonna shoot that
guy and then and then you bleep a few parts of when no no i'm just saying no no no no no no no
we just have to do that punishment thing of whenever someone speaks well stare at them and say nothing
oh no that's actually like that's that's like a terroristic threat what you just said hey chat you
want to lose a friend here's what that's a surefire way to give all four of us a
anxiety attack that's the worst thing you've ever said here's the worst thing you can do to someone
just as you're talking in the group uh pick one person but have everyone else agree that every single
time that person talks you shut up and it's stare at them you stare at them for a good minute in unison
and they'll just look around do not ever talk to them or reply to them just stare at them wait for
them to stop talking then go back as if everything was normal that's how you get me to never come
outside again i instantly muted myself in discord the other night when i was part of a call with
some other folks and i was trying to contribute to the conversation and i would say something and
nobody would respond and the conversation would just carry on and it physically like caused me chest
pain and then i realized i was muted and i'm just like i'm a fucking idiot wasn't that the kingmaker
session uh no it's happened multiple times since then oh oh my god buddy buddy you know which you
can follow us on the patreon to watch the kingmaker campaign oh yeah what's that patreon link yeah
patreon.com first last narrative declaration and speaking of being satan last time in rock
you guys were traveling forward
through some of the uh through the underground caverns under the city of outset
the raccoons have traveled far and wide
if it's just a wide
a little bit my ghostly dump truck
your spectral derriere of talim's big ghost dumpy helping illuminate the way
that's why i can't fight ghost pants the raccoons have been through so much
from humble beginnings of simply just trying to find enough gold to get by
to now being intertwined in conspiracy theories and events out of their control
they were sent down down further down into these unknown caverns under the city of outset
or less fell due to an unfortunate house falling through the floor incident
they journeyed through to see multiple creatures who live inside little mushroom people even fairies
they even encountered and they also met multiple rock creatures who have now been bursting through
the caverns below
but after going through intertwining caves reuniting with some of their old companions from the surface
who've hidden themselves down here and trying to find a meetup point when with an amari resident
to try to find a new way out potentially being teleported or maybe shipped away on an airship to safety
after reuniting with everybody the raccoons finally have a chance of respite to rest up
find birds on the ground sorry and catch up with their old friends
i like how i put on this music to where it's like oh let's get some background music and this
fun tear music's like they're running to the fucking caves
they are in danger at all times it's always the danger of doing this stuff live because you're like
oh man this music sounds like it's going to be nice and you know it'll it'll kind of smooth in there
and then it's like oh this is way faster than i thought it starts nice and slow
it starts chasing and then it just
it's like oh god sandstorm is approaching
it's headed right towards us
so the goons uh at this point you find yourself in a sort of a crossway you've traveled you traveled
with your companions through the caves and you know that all of your companions you know mama them
oh god green screen someone someone's thing exploded ah it was me my graphics driver just crashed
oh okay well we'll wait hey easy cut this out easy please cut this out i'm so sorry holy crap oh yeah all
my all my all my monitors just flickered it was definitely me it's okay go take your time go ahead
and uh notable bit though for everyone who is watching this is a green screen opportunity meaning
you can take gray and put her anywhere
please please take grandma on a journey oh my god
god what is it no it goes green screen it's just
the gray gets thrown into the shooting stars meme
okay i'm back i set it up again i set it up again okay
sorry about that oh my goodness gracious
so coming back goons you see your friends kind of taking some respite in this kind of like
open more area instead of some of the caves you've been traveling for a while at this point uh so if
you need to regain any hit points to be doing anything passively uh you've been traveling for about an hour
yay they set up a temporary camp just trying to sit down and rest their weary bones
you see mama thelma and helma you know the help the elmas who whose tavern has been
terribly uprooted up on the surface hollick who moved in with you guys after you've helped him
into the sewers long ago like at this point like nearly a year in our time but uh i can't believe
heart lost hollick's horses yeah he still remembers
so remembers that slime but it's not too late for us to i i remember first i
find them right i remember the moment more fondly but that might just be me
i had good memories about i'm sorry they have bad ones that's their problem
hey good memories like when holick and talim flirted way too much
that was something that happened wasn't it yeah and like money another person went we weren't
flooding it was an academic discussion about subjects we're passionate about so why so why
were you wiggling your legs on top of your bed talking to them over the phone and twirling the cord
oh my god we're in medieval fantasy we don't have phones
anyway speaking of we should play starfinder speaking of kicking their legs and twirling
their hair um you see that cassie the fairy that talim has bound to your potato mancer
seems to be a tomato mancer now yeah and tomato mancer go greg um he's growing up you see kessie seems
quite happy with the arrangement
this music got way too intense
i just noticed i'm like is it still going it is
the music for me has just stopped entirely yeah i can't hear the music at all i had another
thing going i'm fucking all this up i'm tired as hell
i was up all night
we'll just edit that out
you see kessie has been quite happy with her arrangement with the potato mancer
you know what do you mean by that giggling and talking as greg is very sheepish and
nervous about things but uh still holding a conversation with cassie
you see you see brog also off to the side to the south uh holding holding a kitten with orange hair
just playing with her and making sure she's fed
her head and of course you see the delvers that you helped before uh talking to vena
who you knew as a rat rate uh as a waitress up in the almas uh but still in her for
i mean still in her full delvers garb
and so that that is a scene that's before you in this kind of like orbital like kind of orb like
cavern uh opening what do you guys want to do
i hate to poach off of them but we should probably tell them that we're heading to the gate
and maybe see if they have any supplies they could spare since we don't know what waits beyond that
oh yeah uncountable inhuman horrors
beatle just turns front faces heart stares with both eyes you look like an eagle in the front just
goofy as shit like yeah yeah just wall-eyed yeah the moment beetle becomes serious like front faces you
the eyes just like creak forward to stare ahead yep
yeah what about it
um anyway what do you guys think
i think that's a good idea if anything it also lets us set up a few things if anything like you
know safety contingency plans yeah yeah yeah like
would it be little get shot again um i don't want that to happen yeah i would also like that to not
happen yeah it would be kind of weird to mummify you again again you mummified me the first time
oh yeah i didn't tell you that that was pretty funny
what people also tried to buy you from us yeah like one person wanted to buy you as a snack
uh we also had to uh take shelter in the
for our criminal activities yeah during that time we had to engage in the staying in a safe
house for about a week so we got to spend time with your body yeah uh and i'm gonna be honest
with you like if you were like just gonna be left there like just as a body and a little little
crate buddy i'm gonna be honest with you we did put him in a milk crate didn't we yeah we did
we're like our little shrine like a little mummy shrine it was great uh any reason you guys waited
to tell me all this until right now because you were so cute like you were really cute in it
it also just didn't come up yeah okay no that's fair enough anyway um no please don't mummify me
thanks that'd be great yeah yeah you are my concept to mummify me in our defense when your
remains were delivered to your mother it did make sure that they were fresh
and mummified well yeah you but you smell like cinnamon and stuff instead of you know rotten
presentation yeah thanks thanks guys
you're welcome buddy this is really comforting
talim just gives like a like a thumbs up like a genuine thumbs up like i got you
this might be the last time we get to see any of these folks we should at least check in on them
i'd prefer you didn't say that but yeah i am not going to sugarcoat things beetle i don't know what
there's going to be and i'm old i've seen a lot of shit look at it this way beetle that entire
experience with you dying and us having to handle your remains i also learned a spell that i could use to
preserve a body as well so we can just use magic this time
oh okay or you could just like cremate me
we did we have access to fire i mean i can make fire i don't know like i know what you have to get
it has to get really hot to burn it has to be like really hot like we'd have to like really
hot like we'd have to just take him and throw him in a forge at that point yeah and if you think
about it like this people not your entire body won't actually burn like there will be some ash
left there i wonder that's how that's how create cremation works i'm just listen i don't want my
biggest fear is that you mummify me and i end up in some antique shop later down the line and then i
just i just become a strange thing in a museum maybe you become like a sanctified object yeah like a
taxidermized speaking of the remains of the dead remains of friends becoming objects think about
it so if beetle dies again yeah yeah and we were if we were to mummify him yeah part of the process
is draining off the bodily fluids right including the blood yeah yeah has iron in it yeah could we
forge a beetle sword we could probably forge a beetle sword if they turn you into a mummy please make sure
they drain me out first i don't want to be stuck in you no don't worry i i think that you would be
forced out because the whole part of being a mummy is you get dried up sorry lock was just saying that
they really don't want to be mummified and trapped inside me speaking of which since you seem to be
going to imminent danger i want to be the positive somewhere find one of those people over there that
put me in a bottle huh you're you're leaving me yes but we've been through so what what we've been
there so what zoran has become tired of the lock bit but we've been through so much together and you've
helped me through so many underwater encounters and encounters yes i did that for my survivor to
experience the ways of a solid now it seems to me you and being the solid are going to imminent
danger which would mean your demise which would also potentially lead to my demise i don't know
what hokey shit you're planning to do but i'm planning to go with a larger group of solids who plan
to be leaving this gosh forsaken area to where i can then see more things instead of caverns with no
color and no variants so the way you're talking you don't think we're coming out of here
i mean i'm increasing my chances
i thought we had something special no you have something special dude
not you i'm talking a lot
you know you're really going to have to in the future like specify this for like not just us but
like everyone around you wait i just started yapping staring at the ground i'm not talking to you
anymore can't you tell by the eye contact no not really he looks at you his eyes are not going in
one direction as beetle goes full chameleon mode it's like can't you tell because i'm not looking at
it's like i never know what you're looking at is it that wall is it that wall like are you looking
what are you looking at are you looking at vena are you looking at the homos like i can't tell
well i think the elves or perhaps hollick would be good candidates to take you on good oh yeah
uh i don't want to say goodbye first or anything like that why would i because we've been through
so much i thought we had something so i'm like i got bride dragon blood in me so i'm like a bride
dragon and you're like water you were an excellent mule thank you okay
all right lock wants to get out of here because lock thinks we're gonna die i'm excited to prove
lock wrong and then be reunited if i live you'll come back right
lock don't go quiet i know you're still in there
beetle lies down on the floor oh no
hey friends i don't i don't understand
is he laughing or crying we don't know
hi how can i help you hollick says as you approach him he seems to be busy with a cauldron
and he he's mixing up several potions you see
gray will hold up beetle it's like here you go
i'm beetle flops around like do you need something to help with depression
ragdoll possibly hey it's good to see you hollick so there's um there's a water elemental inside my body
and he's a prick well i thought we had something special but he thinks that we're going to die which
actually so to bring you up to speed we think we know how to get rid of that gem that's been haunting
us but we have to go to some big great scary gate personally as a fellow non-solid entity i found
lock to be rather endearing i like lock um but yeah so this water elemental doesn't want to come with us
because it has no faith in us it thinks we're gonna die oh he sounds like he's a selfish bastard
it's okay i can help facilitate bringing him away oh do you have like a sponge or something
i have a sponge bottle i have this he shows like a syringe thing and it has like a pump on it he's
like where is your ear um right here and he turns his head to the side and there's like a microscopic
little hole in one of those weird like finger pad ears yeah now please stay still this might tingle a
little bit beetle could you not talk can you not say the word tingle and also like gyrate your
voice slightly like that i don't like it and for the first time to lean notices like the microscopic
opening that is beetle's ear like he puts a finger like to his like to the chin underneath his like
his scale male veil and he's like he explains the hard of hearing
i can't believe beetle is showing hole on stream he is he is for the second last one it's time to
bear all before we get banned
all of a sudden you find out we have rot fans just
only rot here's a new it's a new sexual poster line oh all right holly comes over with the syringe
we get to buy our sexy fireman calendar that's right that's right it's only people on fire yeah
all it comes over the syringe and basically begins to extract out lock and you see that the syringe begins
to glow with sort of like a blue hue to it and as he takes it out he takes a vial and uh deposits lock
inside of it uh you'll see he'll you'll see like the kind of bottle or so and he kind of shakes it a
little bit and goes um i see you have quite a lively one i'm sorry for your breakup
don't call it that it's like it's okay he puts a little uh cork on top of it i i thought he threw
it in like one of those bank tubes it's like i would take he looks at it very good care of him
he's gonna make lock into the potion he's gonna do something terrible he stows lock away
also i've made soup you have have some and you'll see that hollick will from not his alchemy
cauldron pod but from a little area of fire they've been dealing with he'll give you all a bowl of soup
thank you at this point you're you're resting and chilling out so yeah uh if you need to heal
yourself to full now is the time because you'll be resting on everything dude last time we had food
that was like solid it was filled with trauma oh that sounds terrible huh yeah you seem all to have
gone through quite so much yeah it's why we kind of want to get rid of the thing you know the talisman
because i'm gonna be honest with you like when we were above the ground it was fine you know like
not gonna not gonna lie the visions were there and like supposedly stronger for some of us but like
after we came back from the dead and as long as we've been down here um i think we could have gotten
out of here multiple times if it weren't for that thing that thing has literally led us to weird paths
that do not exist it has us raw yeah selim is like flipping like a ghostly coin
between his fingers and he's like it's not that bad like you know i could probably take like another
century or two before you go absolutely bonkers insane i mean look as a ghost it's going to happen
eventually you're longer it's already happened look at you you're longer i've lived that i'm completely
saying cocks a brow leans in uh-huh uh-huh continues flipping coin between fingers
gray is being incredibly messy with her suit by the way it's just like dribbling down her face
like beauty and the beast yeah yeah yeah she's just like it's the you made me think of like the
kittens or it's like you're hungry okay it's like the kid whose face is just smeared with food it's like
yeah yeah it's it's those uh those those kittens that have like their face in the milk they're just like
if you if you want the direct one shad it's beast from business beauty and the beast when he eats porridge
he eats soup like the beast eat porridge oh my god holy shit listen it's been a hot minute since
they've had anything that wasn't that's true wait trauma solid um mushrooms mushrooms
it's okay all they've fucking eaten is mushrooms it's a lovely potato soup thanks to greg back there
oh like does greg notice when he's mentioned by hollick oh you see greg kind of like you know he's
been looking over and seeing you guys enjoy the potatoes you can you can tell there's a slight
sense of pride in him to lean gives him like a thumbs up like good job heart also gives him a thumbs up
plus one relationship status oh i'm glad you're enjoying it beetle yeah have a potato he just gives
you a whole ass fucking potato it's just a full russet potato yeah so last time we tried to cook
anything uh a weird creature made entirely of hands and mouths just appeared and started talking to us so
i don't know like he's been doing that for a bit so we have been like living off of and heart just
creates like once again like a bundle of grapes in his hand yeah that sounds absolutely terrible we've
definitely run into our fair share of creepy crawlies but nothing to the severity that you all have been
experiencing yeah i can't i can't really get nourishment from it so i started doing this and he picks up a
rock and eats it and oh mention of like the trauma food and like oh the last time we cooked something
that uh tolim like claps his hands together and he's like and he like looks across from holic at heart
and he's like heart yeah we never tried to cook the mimic
heart's eyes well up past his hair and he has this moment of absolute loss he will never have
this opportunity again like to leave it's like he's like he's got the heads in his head head in his
hands like not like this it's like oh we missed out on such an opportunity it's so many ingredients we
could have harvested hearts we could have sold it for so much hearts shoulders slouch and go
that was probably just the mouth the entire body could probably have been on like further down
like it could have been an entire thing like imagine the amount of jerky
beetles just like slurping audibly on the soup imagine how many other adventures it had eaten all of the
things that it had eaten yeah like from what i from what i know a mimic just keeps the stuff inside
it could all have been there oh no all of that loot all of that money you just missed out on how
awful the meat though i even threw down a pineapple that is the size of an elephant
that thing could have been marinated by the time we got down there that would be awesome
well look at it this way the gate that we're going to might just be another mimic
i suddenly agree this has been a horrible time
greek i just quirks a brow looking at him like that that's what gets you that killed him that killed
it again
well i'm glad we can at least be reunited
is there a bird somewhere
there's been a bird like somewhere far in the distance
that's the worst part that's the worst part it won't go away i think you have a bird hunting you
down actually i think so i have a theory since just a few minutes ago like maybe an hour two hours ago
we started meeting spiders that made like chirping noises i think it's a spider oh dear
i have a request yes
yes after we wrap up raccoons if we ever come back to this campaign
for the love of god i need beetle to be kidnapped by a rock at one point oh what
rock like a mythical gigantic bird oh my god excuse me
hold on hold on hold on hold on i already get kidnapped by a mythical bird every day i don't need
that no no no
if we if you guys want to continue playing far in the future i will make it happen
i can't wait for us to play pirates of dark waters
oh my god
so while they're while they're all eating their food and stuff and gray's going to set down her bowl and
she's going to pick herself up she's going to pat on over the rug
he looks to you and he's like oh hey
uh she's going to kind of sit herself down and look at him and his his his little his little girl
his cute little his little cat girl um and she's going to hand over something that she's had in her
inventory for a hot minute and it is the rhythm bone she's going to hand this over to him
she's going to say
this is good to write over you can record any noise you want on it i suggest she'll point to his
daughter and he'll go and she'll go keep her laughter as close to your heart as you can
see brugg will nod and he'll take the bone from you
and he he won't say any other words but except just the nod as if like you know parent to parent
i'm gonna cry what the you're doing good it's gonna get hard it's never going to be easy
but i think you got this it never has been but it's what i signed up for and
regardless of the hardships you see the cat will
just mew and punctuation is a i'd rather suffer in this this life than be comfortable in a life without
your daughter keep that keep that close to you and i don't know if she'll be making herself known but
i have a daughter if you see her around she has she has a little cub herself i never got to know its name
but her name is morla cubs about your daughter's age maybe maybe one day they'll get to play together
you want to bring a message
yeah you know what i think i do i'm sorry i couldn't be the mom she deserved
i'm sorry and i love her very much
brugg nods and goes thank you yes i'll make sure he gets to her
thank you
i'm gonna cry what the
fuck yeah
he he offers uh thalia to you and you're like would you like to hold her
yeah i i think it's time that you formally she formally meets her saviors
she'll take thalia into her hands and just kind of scritch under her chin and behind her ears and
right at that sweet little spot where the fur starts to fade right before it touches the ears
right there perfectly because oh my god both my cats love that way too much
and gray is more closely related to cats than dogs she knows
she's having a moment over there yeah the kid's having a good time you're having a bonding moment
uh to check on hart and talim as i assume beetle is scarfing down soup and potatoes
morning lock crying into his soup it makes it taste better a little bit more salt
what are you guys doing you go first cap okay um so talim actually will step over to the elmas
because like uh yeah it's you know like much as everybody else is around uh you know
you know like kese is carrying on a conversation with um with greg and like the delvers are all
together and talim has always kind of gotten along with the elmas being yeah you know like
elder magical creatures um as they all are and so talim like float silver is like
he's like so with the with the tavern well basically going up in flames with the rest of the city
here what are the plans after you all get out of here oh we're just going to relocate find another
new place to do things with i mean it's easy to travel it once it was under siege and and you see
that she'll take out a little bottle and you know like a ship in a bottle yeah now it's a tavern in a
bottle there's two and she kind of like looks at it like he's got like wonder in his eyes he's like
now that he's a convenient artifact
it's good to be prepared young man it's going to be prepared
to leave a like pull out like his like a little notebook and like a like a piece of like ghostly
i don't know like pencil or charcoal or whatever it screws on it he's like it's like a building in the
bottle that's actually that is something maybe uh maybe i should look into more that is hmm very
interesting to be able to keep your keep your place and all of your facilities with you on the
go that is clever but like how long did it take you to develop that oh really don't ask an old lady her spells
to leave like raises up both heads he's like fair fair but curiosity got the better of me and well
well i'm not a cat but i am already dead one day you two may find a couple spells you know
some of them can summon a castle on a whim there's some wizards we we've encountered in the past who
would just get very scared after a little confrontation and immediately build an entire fort out of nothing
now that would be convenient imagine being able to sell that to like lords out in the far reaches
looking to settle areas now that's a business venture is it maybe something you can get into dear
maybe you'll accomplish mage yourself if it's a little bit unorthodox from ones that we've seen
you're quite capable in spellcasting yourself to lean the contrary arts of the sword and have the sword
and magic aren't strange some would say it's it definitely helps with more you know unconventional
weapons and he like pants the um he passed the whip sword at his side it's like not it's not something
geared for regular use but with a little bit of magic does job very well of course our plans and
you see they're kind of like you know silo to each other because they've been you know just talking
amongst each other um our plans are simply just we locate somewhere in amari um we've enjoyed the city
of outset for many years and had a lot of interesting clientele but i think we would love more nature and
we hear amari is quite an interesting place so we figured the trip and the relocation from everything
going really weird um would be a nice change of pace away from the chaos maybe like a like a business
vacation really that is definitely a prospect yeah i've also been looking at it as well since coming
into contact with the amaran's like have you heard anything about their lands of course the people
themselves are interesting in the approach that they take to life after death but
the land itself i know nothing about no it's it's a quite a weird place dearie good lord would tell us a couple
other things but the last time we were there was a hmm how could i summarize it there's pockets of
light in that land of shadow it's definitely not a safe place nor is really anything anymore but it
houses places of beauty large large fields and amazing mountains and there is well we understand
you know the learned ogre kingdoms over to the west side very interesting people and then of course we
have the home very capitalistic mages over to the east side that we have to deal with you know if we
want to do like leans in at the mansion of capitalistic mages he's like really
no they'll sell your blood and bolted it for the highest bidder they will they've gone very
unorthodox i've heard uh but of course with the various trades and stuff they get from the
for the southern isles they've been uh they've been getting quite testy lately they even trade
without said whenever they can uh but of course the the kingdom of durn is something that will probably
settle in first the amari the marians or the admire rather are uh they're an interesting people
we're not quite sure we 100 trust them really we're not even quite sure why they've ever gotten the
efforts of even helping us out here or even dealing with you and she'll mention at least i've got to
wave her hand to your companion seeing gray you know deal with brugg's daughter heart you know
eating soup with hollick and beetle just staring at you both yeah beetle has meandered over and he's
just slurping audibly next to them to lean like like leans in like like kind of like whispers
conspiratorily and like that would make that would make the both of us like he's like i'm not really
sure what their motives are suspicious to say the least you say you're looking at amari
to leave like like sits back is like yes we were just talking about uh marie and the the lands
themselves the people there that's my family's backup plan if things fall through here to leave like
he's like all like excited about it marie and like talking about these distant lands and things like
that and like beetle mentions that it's like his shoulders slump a little bit he's like oh i wouldn't
be surprised if they were already on a ship halfway there once we finish up here i'm definitely going
to be heading that direction i think sounds like a narrative declaration to me
i'm gonna slide over here going hey game master we didn't really establish my family stuff could i can
you save my family hey game master this is my mafia family's out right smile yeah take my hero point
take it you can have it i narratively declare i'm not going to steal your hero point to edmari
you're not escaping my boys you're not escaping my goblin it's a kobold mafia moves to edmari
and like we and we revisit the campaign at a later date we run into beetle's family and all they do is
talk about the old country they're the new big bads the old country and being very confused as to how
people came back from the dead yeah oh look what you turned to my boy back in the old country
back in the old country back it out said things were different there god yeah it's gonna be really
good they're gonna be like the new bb bbg of our next campaign or something awful like that as soon
as beetle steps afoot and that mari is gonna be like i bet they don't cook maggot like at home
i think you would quietly enjoy a mari beetle along with your family oh yeah you might even
potentially get along with some of the fairy folk and dwarves near the mountains
there are fairies in that mari yes as you say all sorts of creatures and various ancestries live in
a mari it's a very dangerous place but kingdom of durn would be a good starting point for us so i feel
something secure the conservancy is very you know militaristic in their ways so as we stay on their
good side i think we'll be fine and not intermingle with the way they do things
i i i i i i i like fey folk was that all he absorbed yes
there was a forest north of the kingdom that they have to deal with never so often it's a lovely place
if you're very nice and you bring them treats they'll treat you the tea and try not to do
anything terrible to you you have to stay on the good side but of course cross them and you know
several of your children down the line will be transformed into frogs incredible
now they're dying you know like kobolds have lots of kids we can spare them
capitalistic mages the dwarven folk in the mountains the land of light and dark adventure and danger
abound sounds like a place to make quite a tiny profit yeah we just got survived out here
speaking of which are you sure you don't want to try to come with us i mean we can they might find a
different way to deal with that town's men of yours
to be like folds his arms and he's like as much
as i am inclined to write it off is a bit of an inconvenience right as soon as you say that
you're looking at her but in the background you just see the talisman just like propped up on the
rock but the gym is very bright and just as if it was like looking right at you
to lean like stares back at it and he's just like as much as i would be willing to write it off
is a bit of an inconvenience
the others are less inclined and it seems that we are bound in some
act by it and you'll never want uncertainties while you're doing business
indeed it seems this might be our best shot at getting rid of it and finally being free i'm so tired
of hallucinating
beetle to your right there's another beetle gone yeah
beetle jumps screams spills a bunch of potato soup
oh no bends down starts picking up the lumps of potatoes and eating them
leans down starts licking the stone for
yeah yep yep
so all you guys have been talking to helma's heart
you've been right by hollick or what else would you like to be doing
no he's right by hollick and he eats his soup uh and uh
when uh when the discussions are happening uh heart will look around and see that he's alone with
hollick and then he looks at this elven man and he nudges him with his big ass hand
i can't believe you just push hollick over hollick fucking dies explosion
hollick clicks over to your heart and like yes
oh here's more soup and he just fills up your bowl with chunkier chunks of uh potato oh thanks
uh super nice of you um super nice shut the fuck up
thank you for picking that up froggy no one else left
heart and heart smiles a bit nervously you still be nice to me even if i did horrible things to
things you cared for
horse closure
horse closure and
um
so hollick uh i don't know if you knew this already but heart has no memory of hollick
actually being the person who went up and spoke to him and gray after heart literally transformed
into a big mass of arms and teeth uh so so hollick uh i i'm not a human i knew that
stares at him like what how i think it was very obvious huh
okay um so the truth is that i am so i'm my father's
father's creation right and uh like like everyone is their you know parents creation
um i had a purpose and that purpose was to be as weak as possible so that i could
maybe grow into being more purposeful i don't really know i just know that my purpose was to be
the weakest thing that he had ever made and uh i tried to grow right right he smiles a little bit
nervously and um and one of the things that um i typically have done to do so is to
learn from other people and i never knew why you tried to fix the things that you have destroyed
mainly because i don't see the reason why why does not go on why not just make new things stuff like
that that that's a part of i guess my nature but i've learned from other people he looks at like over
his shoulder and then across and to the three companions that he had been traveling with
and um i stumbled across a distant family member i would say and now i get to carry some of
their legacy as well and uh with that i don't have their powers i have my own and um
trees have been really mean to us historically so i wanted to learn how to destroy them as much as
possible
historically it's been trees that also ended up putting us in situations like you know
telling being consumed by the walking dead and things like that um i also thought that after i learned
about it how to do it maybe i could try to not make it up to you but with how everything is going
try to make amends for what i did it's weird for me it's not natural for me but heart holds out his hand
and in his hand since i can replicate any plant that i've ever seen it's a very big sunflower seed
oh thank you hi you see hollick will take the sunflower um because you still don't
it you didn't have to haunt but i do accept the apology yeah i wanted to but it's not a matter of
that not weak huh you see a lot of brutes exists inside of this world some of them think strength
comes from how much they can lift and shove and eviscerates yeah like me he smiles a bit proudly but
your strength does not come from that you are strong and powerful but your true strength comes from
your heart and he pats the side of your chest there
you were able to establish friends when potentially some of your others were loners or not even able to
form a friendship just from your radiant personality and your drive to protect others is a powerful
thing heart way more valuable in this type of world than just power itself you're far stronger that way heart
if clay can blush he would
now enjoy your soup thanks he eats the soup
oh num num num soup time
it's the popeye callback it's the popeye callback he eats the potato soup and he becomes super strong
i can't believe heart now has a 63 strength
uh so with that would anybody else have to do anything else
uh
to lean is engrossed in a conversation with the elmas about like at mari and like future prospects and
what they know about the region like he's like he's he's zoned in as far as i'm concerned
yeah they tell you more more and more about it like they tell you about the fairies and the dwarf the
dwarves and uh the conservancy or the conservants and stuff and pretty much and how that kingdom is and
uh they tell you about like you know there's a hidden city you know somewhere that people have
found of legend and you know there's
is it a golden city
i can't wait i can't wait for to lean to get a star finder gun
oh my god oh my god shut up sorry um the froggy you were trying to interject
oh uh well beetle
is going to interject himself while they're talking and uh hey actually uh actually any tugs on one of
the elbows skirts um um we we have to we were wondering would you happen to have any supplies
that you might be willing to spare yeah we probably get a cup of stuff and you see that would be really
nice of you because you know we're going to the gate we'd like to come back so uh would you see that
thalma will look through their supplies and she brings out a little little purse with a flower on it
and they're like a little handbag a little unfurls it um she will go all right sweetheart
all right all right here's some potions for you thank you thank you so much uh you are going to get
let me see here
let me get you some potions real quick
don't worry guys i got us for the final boss we got like two potions damn you are going to get
this will encumber you potentially it does uh you are going to get seven moderate healing potions
okay okay okay okay okay okay these kill you for 38 plus 10 hp
oh damn okay
what i will do i will uh if i can put this i will put you this in your stash you remember how we do it in
kingmaker uh i'll throw it all in there so people so everybody else can go in there and take that take
out one if they want it or two yeah we can divvy it up before we go die
uh hey sorry yep i'm snoring yes because it's funny for one narrative declaration can i mention
one uh level eight potion to be in the midst of the potions
uh depends on the potion okay i want there to be a lesser roaring potion in there
i i want beetle to possess a lesser roaring potion i would love
that's a roaring potion rebels move uh for activating ripples move constantly through a
roaring potion a cloudy liquid that growls when you open its container drinking it gives you access to
two other activations one in the effect of bullhorn uh which basically means you amplify your voice
loud enough to be heard to everybody in 500 feet so you yell real loud i remember this
and uh so you basically big yell or you can do this every 1d4 rounds you can scream in a 15-foot cone
that deals 1d4 sonic damage and each creature in the area yeah 44 and each creature in the area can
attempt a fortitude save so you scream really loud and you hurt people like a dragon's breath oh
shit that's badass oh my god it's like a normal stream track yeah god damn that's mean
damn beetle like brains i didn't say for who hey we know
as beetle brings up the subject of supplies like talim snaps out of his hyper fixation about it marty's like
that reminds me please excuse me i need to i need to take a moment and uh he will actually kind of like
drift off to the side and he will rifle through his backpack and pull out like a small like little
ghostly travel anvil the hammer everything like that and he will unbuckle his shield from his arm i'm
going to take 10 minutes to use my crafting skill check to repair my shield
crafting crafting crafting crafting brought me a little crafting jack and let's see what you get
crafting crafting crafting crafting crafting crafting crafting crafting crafting
i need i need to i need to if i keep saying we all keep saying crafting he'll find it faster
oh oh i got a 22. who says 18. who says 18. yeah i have a plus 18 they're crafting
oh wait is it plus where's your intelligence modifier yeah i have uh yeah that's weird because it literally
says like plus 18 it's like oh here's the oh is it because i had assurance turned on uh oh yeah so
let's see like for the repair action it's free apparently uh but but but but but but but um so
the dc was usually about the same dc to prepare to give it on the crown i'll say you you do fine okay
i just i restored 10 hit points to my shield yeah at this point you spend time you're gonna get the
full hp so you're pretty good well i i the shield was only down six hit points yeah so like you spend
10 minutes and he's like he knocks out some dins you know like resets it back buff it out yeah buff it
out yeah spit on it and give the shield go spit i love it when he spits on it yeah
oh man i can't wait to see all the comments going like man i really hate this show
oh my god thank god it's ending oh my god it's a success to me if it's first now that you start
hating the show uh so with that uh is anybody else doing anything
gree's gonna actually wander over to vena after she uh she she like hands talia back over to
to brog everybody else wants to go over as well for free yeah yeah vito wants to go vito wants to go
and grace is kind of like looming over vita like she's she's not saying anything yet she she's
waiting until like uh she's got her attention a little bit you see uh before you get the vena
shoom intercepts you and goes shoom oh hey shoom how you doing shoom hugs you both
oh oh the little shoom goes on its head squeam shoom squeam shoom they have now spread their
scores you were just like shoom runs up to you and i was like it fucking latches on the
latches on the gray's leg thanks grandma out at the knees
well yeah like when he hugs her she's just kind of like
she she buckles a little bit she's just like yeah yeah stoic grandma has a moment
you'll see vena will turn to you all and be like oh it's so good to see you all you see that she's uh
been filling with a dagger just like as if it was like a fidget toy of just twirling it in her
hand her little little rat folk hands why did you keep all this a secret yeah great great will
like lift her hand and like point at the dagger and go good form thank you oh thank you you saved
our asses oh you know she blushes a bit um well he nods on like yep she knows she knows yeah keeping
getting a secret like sometimes you know whenever you find a big catch when you find things down
here delving that um others get a little bit jealous or others hunt you down to find the location and
sometimes i just you know just want to protect things and my friends and but unfortunately they
they got one of them i was protecting and you see she looks down sad
not your fault these things happen not your fault you do your best she shakes her head and like as as
no and no but more in agreement to you but no it was like it's like no no it's not my fault it's not
my fault yeah but still sucks yeah and that's usually it and that did most of the time i was being a waitress
anyway it was nice not having to you know go down and get no grimy and dirty down here but sometimes
i miss it and spending time with my friends and she looks to the back and you see that nomadath is
still kind of doting on garvin a little bit who is still just knocked out and uh you see wello just
doing back flips or some shit in the back and gray will move her hand from pointing at the dagger to
the group behind them and she'll go the four of us are leaving soon you have some good help but
it's up to you to try and make sure that everybody gets through here in one piece i mean are you sure
you don't want to come with us i mean that that talent of yours doesn't seem to be too much of a
problem sometimes i mean it's been getting worse
so the faster we get rid of this the better i don't think we have a choice
i don't think i can live a normal life with this thing attached to me
i mean there's there's there's just no reason for you to do that right you know you wouldn't
abandon us would you and then all of a sudden it changes it's a cobalt in front of you gray
it's like you would just abandon your entire family would you for that and beetle you see it too
you wouldn't leave would you with all of your responsibility the null blinks and you see one of
its eyes it's red great just she tenses up and she's just she takes a step back
she is breathing heavily
yeah but you would have abandoned your fate wouldn't you ban a responsibility
no we're going to get rid of this we're going to fix this yes i do
we're doing what you want okay so why don't you just back off a little bit hurry up
oh don't take too long venus says
we'll try our very best to try to you know uh try to see if they'll delay in case when you're done you
can come back gray gray lifts a paw she said sorry it it just did it we'll we'll come back when this is
done
vena will come up to both of you kind of like grab beetle a little bit closer to and she'll hug you both
like a little red arm just
beetle squeezes her yeah gray squeezes so tight she's just like
uh uh vena will give you both a hug and uh let's see if there's anything that she can give you oh
she does yeah hand it over hand it over uh she will hand over to the party going like oh sometime they use
this to try to get past some very nasty creatures but i think you might benefit with this more she
will put an invisibility potion inside of your stash oh yes thank you vena we're giving that to heart
hey i hope that this isn't too forward but you have been breathtaking incredible stupendous show
stopping amazing the entire time that i have known you from the moment i met you to now um
life has been very strange and i know that i'm very ugly but perhaps if we live could i would you be
interested in maybe i could cook you dinner sometime gray will gray will nudge beetle and then move
over to nama death he's got this good luck buddy you see vena blush and go i never had anyone ask me on a date
before hey i know that i have one narrative declaration left yeah i gotta take yours down beetle is adjacent
to my kinetic aura yeah if heart hears a single beep of this a small out of the rock something that
shouldn't exist down here a fresh little flower will grow right next to beetle
yeah let's go let's go thank you
roll me a diplomacy check as soon as you pick up that flower with fortune which is like rolling for
advantage can i use pursue a lead wink
i'll give you a plus one circumstance bonus due to your slither drape
i'm resisting my urge to throw my fucking shield at beetles
i'm using a hero point you rolled a seven on that one
i'm using a hero point watch it be a natural one oh it's almost it's worse but you have fortune
you have fortune so you take the highest so okay okay does that mean that he still technically has
a hero point no uh here are points to technically have the fortune in fact so okay yeah yeah true true
true uh here's hoping that vena likes the awkward nerdy time beetle flounders a little bit he picks the
flower up and he he holds it out to her he can't make eye contact but he's trying yeah does he do
the bird thing where he turns his head yes yeah yeah he like turns his head one way the other way
and he's looking at her i kind of puffs up a little bit he's like look look look look at my neck look at my
neck my neck is really red like it look at how big my throat is look at how big my throat is i'm a
great forager i love vena look at all this food i can forage look at this flower i found in the middle of
nowhere damn i'm so good at this wow i find it hard to believe that you haven't been asked that on a date
before uh if it doesn't you know if you're not into it then that's okay too it's great just being your
friend you see vena will come up to you uh hold your hands that are also holding the flower
and she will give you a little smooch on top of your head oh my god and she says explodes and she
says if you return it's a date he wags his tail
he nods he nods he's grinning like a stupid little idiot he turns away and he's like does a
little scamper jumps does the leprechaun heel click and scrambles over to heart
just imagine what happened heart is just there it's like heart like as he does the heel click
jumps in the ear heels click and just like tackles hard directly in the face
you know what's happening buddy we have to make it back alive
dude i wasn't planning on dying i got a date
and he like grabs the the scarf around his neck and shakes and he's still wearing her scarf he's been
wearing a scarf this like entire campaign since she gave it to him heart uh stands up thanks holic for
the thing and he uh he takes beetle like over here for a second oh no
and uh he uh he holds beetle and smiles widely and goes
i'll make sure that you come back dude takes heart you too yeah of course of course so um buddy yeah

can you teach me yeah yeah i can i'm losing it because you're saying this next to brug and he's
like what the are they talking about can we make a really cheesy dish because because she probably likes
cheese dude that's a bit you know you know profiling it kind of is but hear me out she has
she has cheese on her like it's right there on her belt i must i think i think you're just observant dude
i am an investigator he taps his head you know you know you know what you know what you're really good
at if you want to not always but if you want to you're a really good listener i would know and he
like does that the very soft little like nudge of his knuckle against beetle's cheek oh
feel tears up you've been uh you've been helping me a lot when you listen to me
you know when i ramble about weird stuff that nobody understands well you're easy to listen to
oh thank you buddy now if you want to i can like you know do do whatever i can to help you in terms
of the cooking stuff yeah yeah yeah but um let's start off easy when we do right so there's a thing
called charcuterie and then it cuts to the next person due to our uh due to our time limit let's go
ahead and try to oh yeah thing here um if it's okay if i can quickly summarize yeah sorry for the
shorter episode today so as you guys begin to wreck in order with everyone nomadeth kind of like
they're like oh it's good to see you you know mrs grave you know he'll be quite fine yeah that's
what she was gonna ask basically you'll be quite fine and we'll return to the devil's guild and
start to do you know you know we'll be justified no worries and of course you get to see all of your
friends as they begin to form together to eventually leave you you see vena and nomadeth and the delvers
all bind up together and begin to start heading up to the northern passage to scout forward
and then you see hollick pack up everything mama thalma and helma
we're the ones who give you your first quest how pack up things in the camp
they beckon over cassie and gary we're like stop kissing and hurry up
brung with brung with his child but also pull up the rear security
before they leave heart runs up and does his secret handshake he has always done with brog
every single time he has seen him he matches it beat for beat just bam bam
fist bump does a little thumb thing a little twist pinky raise like another fist but like all
all the stuff yeah ends with a headbutt and then he goes back he goes like i'll see you around brother
see you around buddy hey wait and they'll all wave bye to you all
as they head up north through the cave before they do that to lean will sidle up next to greg
and he will reach in uh reach in his robe and he will take out
10 platinum pieces and put them in greg's hand and he's just like
just to carry you over keep the investment safe
all right secret keep it safe anything that you're going to need are you sure this is a lot of money
and believe it's just like you're gonna give up this much
oh it seems like he pants his chest he's like i'm pretty good right now and i'm pretty sure i can earn more
you see greg will he can't touch you but you see he will kind of like hand hover over and go like
you're the nicest wizard who's ever been kind to me
because you're the only wizard who's ever
i gotta roll my check i gotta i gotta roll it i gotta
to leave will go and attempt to put his hand on greg's shoulder it passes through and he kind of
like it looks a little bit disheartened you get to roll it with fortune
all right so to leave will actually like put a hand on greg's shoulder and he's like you
are my apprentice
and you have performed admirably and i look forward to continued journeys together
and then he'll just like slap greg on the back he's like now go out there and be the best wizard you
can you see him snuffle a little bit like i'll do you proud i'll make it so much money
mr craig to leave like fold his arms behind his back and he's like yes you will
we'll wait for you at a bar
like as he like like as they walk away leaves like i'm going to make so much money
so as they head up north to the passage you all see to the southeast
a red gem coaxing you forward oh this mother
fuck do you go forward or do you turn to the north to try to stay with your friends
talim has now buckled his shield back on his arm uh he is checking his gauntlets like he flicks
little switches and like you know the daggers will pop out of each gauntlet and he flexes them then
cheese those back uh he's got his pistol tucked into the the waistband of his robes
and a hand resting on the uh the hilt uh of his sword and he looks at the others and it's like
like so what do you say we get rid of this inconvenience oh let's get rid of this
fucking thing i'm ready for a nap after this let's go
yeah i got a date yeah this dude has been underestimating this entire time what does
he think is a bunch of goons a bunch of goons what do you think we are a bunch of goons like
as they're like rabble rousing like moving forward to leave is just like in the back he's
just like floating along he's like i can't believe i died and was stuck with all of them
as the goons continue forward it takes them quite a while through the winding caverns
of the underground underneath the city of outset but they soon find themselves exactly where they need
to be with the red gem leading them exactly where they need to go
a turn right here a turn left there
they enter a narrow hallway and if i can take some agency if it's okay
so why is there a fog gate here as they continue forward
they see farther on into the distance
a gate with an ominous red hue
