Two factions that hate each other, one siege that needs them both. Musketmen on the ridge, a flag of truce on the floor, and Nastrum's battle plan drawn in crayon. Tanhauser takes one look, sighs, and redrafts the fall of the Golgothan Citadel from scratch.

Quick check, how fast can all of you run?
I think I can outrun that.
You do know that like every single person here
with like a knife on them wants to kill you
and sell you for parts, right?
One of the children raises their hands.
What's evil?
Ask your mom.
There you go, you got your Ruhua Empreg, happy pride.
Wow!
Does that mean that snot's the father?
And everyone who's ready to play some Rock Grime?
Yeah!
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba!
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba!
Welcome everybody to another exciting episode of Rock Grime
where we fall into the lava and we encourage you
to also have a good day.
Wait, is that what we're doing?
No one told me this.
Please get me out of here.
Goodbye.
And also, if you're
listening to this, all playing
Do an Awakening, haha addict, haha
points at you, haha addict.
You know, the
pot calling the kettle black.
If
the video on this stutters,
it's because Zoran has it open on
the second monitor and is
rearranging the bass well worth it.
The perfectly
placed Harkonnen bass.
Yeah, exactly.
That would be really important, yeah.
Oh no.
The speaker has it open right now, I can tell.
You, you
punk, you're like, that would be
the worst thing, moving boxes.
That'd be crazy.
Oh no.
I have to
I have to find
my thing on my
Steve day.
Oh, there it is.
You can hear it in the background.
Oh, there it is.
Oh, this one.
Oh, perfect.
There's
some, there's someone who's going to post
the comments.
This is exactly what
I do not allow my players to have any
electronic devices at the table.
Thank you, Jebediah, for your pen and
paper.
Jebediah!
I was like, I know my personal role is
basically is like, hey, fellas, you
know, unless you play open up your wow
auction house during game.
I've done it once.
Only once.
Thanks for fixing that in post easy.
Oh yeah, he did.
And
my role is like, sure, I don't mind, but
as long as you're active in the game, I
don't care.
Because like for stuff like this, if I
notice that you're not moving your token
while everybody else is moving, I'm like,
what you doing, man?
How's that base organization going there,
Doc?
Yeah, it's like.
What's on your monitor?
What's on your monitor?
It's time.
Screenshot now!
Uh, apparently, apparently, I saw some
videos or whatever.
Apparently, there's like an AI, like
desktop screen thing that just emulates
a desktop.
So you could like use chat GPT during
your interview.
And I'm like, oh my God.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
We, we live in a weird era.
Like, we live in a society.
That's, yeah, that's really wildly.
Whoever lived, whoever wished to live in
eventful times or interesting times,
fuck you, dude.
I'm really tired of living through
significant parts of world history.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But, uh, anyway, welcome everyone to
another exciting episode of Rock Ride.
Hope you've been having a phenomenal time.
I want to introduce you to the amazing
people who bring you Rock Ride, starting
off with Odo.
Rockie.
Hey, it was me, Odo.
Today, I will be bringing you Vina, the
self-swashbuckler.
Tomorrow, I will be bringing you a
delicious pastry.
Prepare yourself.
I'm coming to your door.
Whoa.
Just like Davis.
What?
Davis.
And then we have Hulk of the Crows.
That's me.
Howdy, hey.
G'day, g'day.
I am Hulkie Crow, and as always, I will
be bringing you Rahua, the
Kanrasu Warpriest.
And tomorrow, I'm not bringing you
anything.
I need a little bit more time to get
this done.
You understand, right?
I had a lot going on in the
background.
No excuses.
Die.
Were you organizing your base, Hulkie?
What did you like to know, weather boy?
Going with the extended background.
Uncall GM rules, Atreides.
One who's not a rolling Atreides is
Speaker D.
Hi, everybody.
I'm Speaker D, and I'll be playing
Tanhauser, the android wizard.
And we have someone who is very close,
very close to Uncall GM.
This traitor will be worth to us more
than ten legions of Sarduka.
But I won't tell you who the traitor
is or when we'll attack.
Okay.
The traitor.
Salty job.
Yeah, that's me.
Salty job.
The traitor.
I was here all along.
I am playing Snot a goblin.
And I will be at least playing this
little creature for one more session.
And tomorrow, I promise you,
Snot will blow up.
No!
I'm going to miss them.
It's true.
It's going to blow up.
It's okay.
She'll be better.
It's our level of the game, Master Thurston.
Hello.
How are we doing today?
Got to hype them up, man.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No, I don't.
No.
Yes, you do.
You're on the show.
Wow.
I'm going to comfort you.
I'm going to comfort you in the night.
And I'm going to steal your hero point.
Take your hero point off.
No!
That's right.
That's right.
That's right.
I ate it.
I ate it.
Well, you don't have the button
to change the graphics,
so it seems you don't.
Damn it!
Damn it!
Go on, who else is on with that.
I'm Zon the Wizard.
I'll be your host for this evening
playing Orn the Strix Summoner today.
And of course,
who wants to do a recap
of last episode for a hero point,
or else I will do it
and steal it from you?
I suppose it's my turn
to bring out the Tannhauser arc.
Well, as you know,
we have been lost in the desert.
And upon meeting a strange,
sad little adherent
to the Black Papacy
who begged for an inevitable death
that was incredibly inevitable,
we came to hear about
some local heretics
that might be a good place
for us to set up shop with.
At the very least,
travel to.
Yet,
there were still
individuals circling us
like vultures,
vandal soldiers,
we had been led to believe,
that seemed to be chasing
after our every move.
We eventually retreated
to a desert outpost
that once long ago
Tannhauser had occupied
with his own vandal soldiers
before we engaged
with negotiations
with a man who lived in a tub
but didn't have art
until he did.
He totally had art.
Look, there was art
the entire time.
Look, look,
you can see the art.
It's clearly there.
That art always existed.
Yeah.
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Upon
our, uh,
failure of terms
to sell Ruhua
into slavery,
combat ensued
between ourselves
and the roving
vandal soldiers
that infuriated
everybody
but me
who thought
it was really funny
because
they were in cars
with guns
which meant
that our melee fighters
wished they were dead.
We eventually
defeated our foes
That's true!
sending the vandal soldiers
that we hadn't killed
into retreat
and victory
was ours
at least for the moment.
Okay, very good.
You may give yourself
a hero point.
No bit?
Thirsty?
Well, see,
I got distracted
a little bit
from the bit
because
no,
because Jamie
Jamie came in here
and we had like
something on the phone
like and I was like
well, oh no,
super serious.
Could have posted
in our general chat.
We got some
Dairy Queen earlier today.
Oh, hell yeah.
This was
this was the result
of what happened
with the
bag from the Dairy Queen.
The kitty.
Oh!
It's a kitty!
If it fits, it's it.
There you go.
There you go.
That's Kuro.
That's the cat
that won't
that
that
that I don't fear
biting me.
He is the Burger King.
The Dairy Queen,
actually.
She is the Dairy Queen.
She is the Dairy Queen.
She is the Dairy Queen.
Excellent.
Excellent.
Good, good, good.
Anyways, cats.
Cats are great.
Cats are amazing.
But yes,
so with that,
the Vandals
have
fled off,
leaving you
a moment
of respite
in
the wastes.
Well,
how are you
how are you
handling yourselves
after that
rather intense
skirmish?
Orin's having
a bad time.
Would it be
imprudent of me
to take a shot?
What?
How do you
still have
alcohol on you?
Because
the Game Master
hasn't said
that I've run out yet,
so.
If you want to
keep your alcohol,
you're going to have
to make a narrative
declaration to keep it.
Oh, yeah!
Johnson,
get clean
or get lucky.
Yeah.
Yeah,
Vina will take a swig,
see that her bottle
is empty
and go,
All right,
fine,
I'll be responsible.
He's just not
waddle up
with a little
canister
and holds it out
to you.
I have some here
and holds out
a bottle,
but it,
when you,
if you even
try to sniff it,
that,
that's pure ethanol.
Just,
oh,
whoa.
Okay.
You wanted to
light it on fire,
right?
Oh,
I was going to
consume it.
Is it safe for,
actually,
I don't care if it's
safe for consumption.
I'm going to take a shot.
You're pretty hardcore.
No,
I just have a problem,
but thank you.
You're pretty hardcore.
You know what?
I'll take that.
Yeah.
If you know
you have a problem,
you should take
some steps
to redress it.
I can stop
whenever I want to,
I just don't want to.
All right,
we'll stop then.
Well,
I don't want to.
Then you have a problem.
Well,
no,
I can stop
whenever I want to.
I can stop right now.
I think she's
the captain.
See,
Snot's got it.
You know what?
It's too damn hot
for me to argue
with you right now.
I think it's
a bit cloudy today.
Oh,
hold on.
I'll turn off
the egg timer.
As you go to
to adjust
whatever it is,
you see emerging
from the wreckage
to the east
is the tub guy
walking on the
mechanical spider-limbed
tub towards you.
Yeah,
you want another piece
of this,
tub guy?
The mechanical
apparatus
supporting the tub
comes to an abrupt
halt some
60 or so
feet away.
Well,
I do,
I do,
I do say
that
that was some
fine work
you did there,
but there are
many more of us
still.
Are you sure
you can keep
this up all night?
Yeah.
Can you?
Well,
I will say
that
there are
other things
to be
concerned about.
Uh-huh.
Like?
And as though
like on cue,
there is this
just
rising
dust
cloud
of
sort of
red dust
that's coming
further from
the east
up atop
the ridge.
Like you can
see that
you're kind of
in this
low depression
area.
Atop the ridge
there is this
this
vast
dust
kick-up
that has
occurred.
And as you
sort of stare,
eventually
emerging
from it
is
like a
what can only
be described
as a
building
building
on wheels
of moving
with a
crane,
some kind
of
land
fortress,
yes.
Oh my god.
It's probably
staffed by
several dozen
people,
if not
a hundred
maybe.
me.
Oh.
Huh.
Oh.
Hmm.
Well,
that's not
good.
Quick check,
how fast can
all of you
run?
I think I
cannot run
that.
Top man.
Well,
I say,
I say,
yes.
We have
already proven
ourselves
more than
capable of
inflicting
great damage
upon your
soldiery.
The resources
you would
reap from
engaging
with us
would pale
in comparison
to that
you would
lose
from
engagement,
even with
your land
barge.
I advise
you to
tell your
masters
that
discretion
is the
better
part of
valor,
or,
for sanity's
sake,
that we've
all simply
left.
Um,
I'd like
to try and
make a
society roll
to attempt
to reason
with him
and get
him to
maybe
let us
off.
Okay,
so,
society is
not really
like a
charisma-based
approach,
though.
That is
true.
Yeah.
My hope
is,
hold on a
second,
I need to
recheck all
of my
feats.
Do you
have any
more?
You're trying
to intimidate
him.
Aren't you
trained in
intimidation?
I am
trained in
intimidation.
I do
have,
yeah,
this isn't
gathering,
this isn't
gathering
information,
this only
arguably is
making an
impression on
a noble,
which I
guess,
like,
you know,
negotiation
maybe.
Do you
have
courtly
graces as
a fee?
Yes,
I do.
Oh!
Would these
be considered
nobles in
this land,
Mr.
Game Master?
Ah,
well,
okay,
this will be
a question
for Speaker.
Are the
vandal
outlaws of
the desert
nomads in
your mind
for your
thing,
or are
there people
who are
more,
um,
noble
adjacent in
your mind?
So,
here's,
I'm going
to answer
your question
to answer
the question
with a
question,
all right?
Yeah.
Um,
let's say
we're in a
village,
right?
a really
primitive
village,
and let's
say there's
a village
chief,
right?
Yeah.
Would that
chief be
considered
a noble
for the
purposes of
courtly
graces?
No.
No?
Okay,
the village
chief is
not considered
a noble?
Not unless
they have
some,
like,
landed,
like,
title,
like,
because you
can have,
like,
the guy
in charge
who is not
of,
like,
noble
lineage.
Fair enough.
My,
my take
is this.
These guys
are definitely
not the top
of the brass
nobility
of the area.
That's going
to be guys
that are
inside one
of the
citadels.
However,
this guy
is a
diplomatic
envoy
from one
of the
foremost
local
powers
in this
social
strata.
So,
if you
could envision
a,
let's say,
the mayor
of a village
or a
particularly
powerful
and dominant
burgermeister
as a noble
for the purposes
of courtly
graces,
then I would
say yes.
But if
with courtly
graces
we're defining
nobles
as the
high strata
of,
like,
oh,
you have a
lineage
and you
can trace
that back
and not,
like,
noble equivalent
in societies
without aristocracy,
then I would
say no.
Yeah.
I'll,
I'll let you
use it here.
Um,
in,
in this
case,
just,
just,
just keep
that in
mind for,
for uses
of society.
Like,
try to,
try to remember
that you
should,
like,
ah,
because of
courtly
graces I
want to
do it,
rather than
just I'm
using society.
That is
society.
It is a
baseline does
not,
like,
let you
do this.
No,
no,
yeah,
of course.
I,
I,
I definitely
understand that.
Um,
if you'd
prefer,
I could just
roll warfare.
I do have
lore.
No,
no,
this would,
this would
like,
it's society's
fine.
Um,
it,
it's more
the,
when you
are trying
to influence
a person,
um,
typically it's
going to be
one of the
charisma based
skills,
unless you
have,
like,
a feat
like courtly
graces,
which works
here.
Um,
using lore
or stuff
to influence
someone is a
very,
like,
niche ability.
They aren't
really intended
for that.
They're more
for,
like,
having knowledge
of those
things.
maybe,
maybe impressing
some people
with,
with your
knowledge,
but not
like,
I'm going
to turn
these people,
you know,
to my side,
because,
again,
it's not
really a
charisma based
thing.
It is
something that
can be
utilized,
uh,
arguably as
a social
interaction.
It's not
the persuasive
kind.
Yeah.
Fair enough.
Okay,
well,
I'm going to
go ahead
and roll
society.
And we'll
get an
eight on
the die.
If that
is not
enough,
I may use
a hero
point to
reroll.
Well,
you have
to decide.
Um,
I'll use
a hero
point.
Why not?
Okay.
We're all
using a
hero
point.
That is
much better.
That is
going to
be a
36.
Whoa.
Yeah.
Ooh.
Pretty good.
That's very
nice.
Well,
I suppose
it's,
we don't
want to
lose more,
but,
but you
are
defiling
the
side
of
heroes.
Heroes
are you?
No,
no,
no,
not us,
not us.
He kind of
like bleeds
back in the
tub,
um,
almost like
grasps at
hidden suspenders.
No,
no,
no,
no,
not us,
not like
that.
No,
no,
this,
this place
was where
a group
of,
of great
heroes
once fell.
Is that
so?
We,
we keep
interlopers
out,
especially
of the
outsider
can't.
Tell me
of these
heroes.
Well,
there was
a group
that
they,
they,
they did
not like
the citadels
and their
overlords
and they
rebelled
against
great
Gogoth.
Then I
will tell
you that
I am
Tannhauser,
formerly
of
this
very
same
land
and one
whose body
was blown
apart on
the rocks
out here
with many
of my
compatriots
rebuilt
only thanks
to the
miracles
of the
science
of Lady
Sale.
Wall.
I
declare
that
that is
a tale
you have
woven,
but
it does
impress
upon me
your knowledge
of society
and thus
I am
inclined
to perhaps
believe you,
sir.
Thank you,
I am
very knowledgeable
about society,
less so
about...
It would
appear so.
Yes.
Do you find
my graces
to be of
courtly
nature?
Very much,
as though
if I were
noble,
I would be
influenced
by them.
That is
true,
yes,
I feel
like I
would have
made
quite an
impression
upon you.
Welcome back
to Pathfinder
your game.
I love
that Speaker
didn't even
fucking
blink at me.
He's like,
all right,
fucker,
you want to
play this game?
We're going
to play this game.
It's called
Yes Am.
Exactly.
Well,
then,
if you truly
respect those
that rebel
against Golgotha,
are you
rebels as well?
We are.
We are,
vandals of
the best
and the brightest
of us
are taken.
They become
the DNA.
I see.
The what?
The what?
That's a myth.
Hey,
Speaker.
Yeah?
You're going
to inform
your friends
of what
that all
means?
The DNA
is not
a myth.
It is
very much
real.
Who would
call it
that?
Huh?
The
Diktat
National
Army.
How?
They are
the guardians
of the citadels,
the organized
militarized force
of Lord
Golgotha.
Vandals are
cannon fodder.
They're raiders,
plunderers.
Expendable.
What?
Yes,
that is what
you want.
He looks down at
hands?
What?
What?
You are meant
to clog the
machine guns
of the enemy
while the
DNA soldiers
take up
residence
in the land
you have claimed
and fortified it.
You are a tool
of expansion.
What?
Sorry,
I had to be
the one
to bring this
to your attention.
I thought
I was cool.
Well,
you are.
You are cool.
It's just
that you're
also neat.
Everyone
said I was
cool.
You are
cool.
And that
it would be
cool if I
threw myself
at the thing
with the
grenade on it.
They said
it would be
funny and
cool.
All right,
well,
that does
track.
Tannhauser
has a war
flashbacks
to every time
he's told
another vandal
to jump onto
a grenade
because it'd be
cool.
how many
does he have?
It's a montage
like
it's Raider
Tannhauser
just like
hey,
you should jump
on this grenade.
It would be
awesome.
It's distressingly
upbeat.
if you are
in rebellion
to Lord
Golgotha
and his
diktat,
then we
can treat.
If not,
I advise you
in the memory
of these heroes
of whom I
once ranked
amongst,
you let us
go.
if I go
back,
they will
require
some form
of proof.
Take this
and I'll
reach into
my coat
and I'll
pull out
some
revolutionary
pamphlets.
Okay,
okay,
so real
real quick,
revolutionary
pamphlet.
are those
like
outset
themed?
Yes,
but also
they would
probably,
you know,
it's kind of
like a
communist
manifesto
situation.
They're meant
for like
lower class
people to
read and
understand.
Do they
have your
face on
it?
Probably.
Is it
your new
face or
your old
face?
Yeah,
it's probably
me with
the mask
going like
I'm
Tannhauser
and I
approve
this
message.
So no
one would
recognize
you?
No,
but it
would
speak
and triumph
the cause
of liberty
and
release
from the
shackles
of oppression.
No,
that might
change.
I,
I,
poor,
we cannot
dally here
very much
longer
for
the
general
may
may
deplore
troops
here.
Very well.
I'm going
to look
to everyone.
Do you
trust me
in this?
Yep.
To the
end of the
earth,
bud.
Yeah.
Or not.
Take us
to your
leader.
Okay.
Orrin,
are you
coming?
Looks at
Orrin,
who has
not been
looking so
well.
He's still
bleeding
a lot.
Yeah.
Oh,
let us fix our
bird man first,
though.
He's been crying
in the back
for,
for a while.
No.
Oh,
no.
Are you
doing anything?
And then
beat me up?
Everything is
defensive.
No,
you turn
into a big
lizard.
It was cool.
It was cool.
You turned
into a big
lizard.
You were
awesome,
Orrin.
You were
super cool.
Everybody
loved it.
He just
throws a
scrap
mouth
mouth
fucking
side.
He just
throws up.
Like,
oh,
ooh.
Ooh.
Check out
money.
The big
mech puts
Orrin
into
the
seat
and puts
a little
tent over
him
and gives
him a
sippy
bottle.
Not a
sippy
bottle.
Not the
sippy.
Here,
Orrin,
eat some of
this disgusting
insect paste
you tried to
feed me
all the
time.
It will
make you
feel better.
It always
makes you
feel better.
You can
make insect
paste out
of the
funny
desert
insects.
I'm sure
there are
some weird
spiders.
I'm sure
he's kind
of filled
up on
brain.
No,
that's
going to
give you
prions.
Yeah.
Orrin,
I don't
know how
to tell
you this,
but you
know what?
I'm not
going to
tell you
this.
Dan
Hauser,
he's not
going to
live past
60.
well,
duh.
Come on,
man.
have to go
back to
first edition
dog.
He fills
all his
wounds with
mud and
bugs.
Life expectancy
of restriction
of Pathfinder
second edition
is reported
to be 40
years.
Oh,
man.
Another
source mentions
that his
lifespan of
60 years.
He's
suggesting
expectancy
of restriction
being very
dependent
of war.
So,
well,
it's either
40 or 60.
Do not
look up
goblins.
It's still
right.
Oh,
God,
what's the
life expectancy
of goblins?
Like,
two and a
half days?
If they're
lucky.
What
moment?
And he
sort of,
like,
leans back,
the tub
guy,
and his
mouth goes,
like,
wide open,
and you
hear this,
like,
slight,
like,
as he's
leaning back,
then he
shakes his
head,
leans forward.
It would
appear that
there is
a consensus
that you
may be
to be
believed.
Really,
now?
Well,
considering
your frame
and the
expedient
way in
which you
killed many
members of
our roving
band,
I would
say that
you have
perhaps fit
the proverbial
bill.
indeed.
Now,
we,
as we
said,
are not
staying
around here
for fear
of
General
Dusk's
patrols.
That's him,
points at
the big
lamb barge.
Oh,
no,
no,
that is,
that is
ours.
Oh.
Are you
sure?
I thought we
was gonna
fight it.
usually we
do wind up
fighting large
mechanical
vehicles.
You do
that?
Yeah,
and we
totally won
last time.
In other
places than
Golgotha?
Yes.
Whoa.
Ever heard of a
chainsaw car?
that's stupid.
That's stupid.
That's stupid.
I thought it was
cool.
Shut up.
Yeah,
it's called a
circle.
We have
cooler things
here.
We have,
we have,
we have
circle blade
carts.
Oh,
yes,
that's right.
The much
superior version.
I see.
Hell yeah.
Oh,
yes.
Where did you
find that one?
Where did you
put this command
next to that?
Fly Kia?
Not fly Kia.
I love
shopping at
fly Kia.
First of all,
bloat Kia.
I mean,
it's not just
flies.
It's not just
flies.
Well,
it's like
fly guys.
I would
like,
I guess.
I think,
I think that
bloat us,
but drawn like
the little instruction
guy in Ikea
furniture assembly.
Oh yeah.
Yeah,
buddy.
Swedish
bloat us.
Oh my gosh.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
It's like bloat us
like,
like helping
players with
path builder.
Like,
so you want
to build a
monk.
Excellent.
I am
bloat us.
That's
Swedish bloat us.
Oh my gosh.
Swedish bloat us
is one of the
rare ones.
The funny,
the funny
is that if
you do write
it like
bloat us,
it means
wet us.
We got to
get alpha
abuse in a
voice,
uh,
Swedish
bloat us.
I agree.
Yeah.
Swedish.
That's the
deep,
that's the
deep level
play.
Absolutely.
Yeah,
exactly.
You're like,
alpha abuse,
uh,
but,
uh,
if,
I suppose
if you
wish,
you,
you would
be admitted
onto our,
onto our
marge as
we depart
this,
this place.
That is
amenable to
me.
The others,
are you
willing to
accompany these
vandals that
once tried to
kill us?
I'm already
fixing up the
mech.
Sure.
If you think
that's what's
for the best,
Danny.
Excellent.
Then we go.
where,
where exactly
are you
going?
We're
attempting to
come with us,
but do you
have a
destination?
Yes,
we're attempting
to meet up
with revolutionaries
in the area.
Those that are
attempting to
oppose the
reign of the
diktat.
More than
that,
I have not
there.
You mean,
Nastrom,
then?
Is that who
you're going
to engage
with?
I believe
so.
Let me
check my
notes.
Nope,
last notes
in here were
about the
dinosaur
society.
Great.
That makes
sense.
The speaker's
like,
new season,
I'm coming
back,
guys,
I'm going
to be so
on the
ball.
Dinosaur
timeline
changes.
Yeah,
that was
one session.
My note
for that
session was
retail dot
dot dot.
Nastrom was
the one
that told
us about
it.
Yeah,
I actually
knew I
remembered
the name
Nastrom.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well,
we do
know where
her and
her
dissidents
dwell.
They dwell
in the
crags
by the
outer
wall
of the
citadel.
It will
require us
getting very
close to
deliver you
there.
OK.
Is that
possible?
Would it
be worth
it?
What is
in it
for us?
Can we
keep the
tree as
we discussed
earlier?
No,
you can't
keep the
tree.
Oh.
But what
I can tell
you is
this.
What
Nastrom is
planning
is going
to be
bigger than
even I
had imagined.
if we
pull it
off,
you'll
be
remembered
in
history
for
your
role
in
this.
Both
you and
your
leader.
I don't
know what
possibly
we could
have.
All we
have here
is this
simple
land
fortress.
yes,
this is
a very
crummy
thing.
Like
twiddles
thumbs like,
I don't
know how
we could
help.
All we
have is
this
gigachad
death
fortress.
It
would be
of great
utility to
us,
no doubt.
More
allies for
the cause.
Could
you use
that massive
crane to
just grab
us?
And
just dump
us beyond
the
citadel
wall?
Oh,
wait,
I suppose
we could.
I mean,
that crane,
to be honest,
is more
meant for
demolishing,
but I
suppose we
could use
it for
another
purpose.
Well,
we are
instruments of
destruction in
some ways
and in
some
fashions.
If the
moment calls
for it,
you could
just make
us into
the
wrecking
ball.
Yeah,
wherever
they have
gone.
Yeah,
yeah,
wherever
they have
gone,
they've
just
destroyed
things.
Yeah,
that seems
to be a
really unfortunate
habit of
ours.
Unfortunate?
It's great.
I like this
goblin.
They get it.
Yeah.
some of
that you
managed to
make your
way atop
the
Vandal
Land Barge
fortress.
That is
a, like,
self-sufficient
small
settlement.
So as
you get
on it,
you can
tell there
are dozens
of people,
like,
milling about
on here.
there's
even,
like,
I don't
know,
two shops
and an
inn.
It's one
of those
more esoteric
Final Fantasy
style towns
that you
often find
yourself in.
Zira,
who are?
They
wouldn't even
know what to
do with you.
They don't
even have a
wood butcher.
You mean a
craftsman?
What?
No,
wood butcher.
Like,
they handle
trees.
But why
would you...
You know,
like,
they shop...
Yeah,
they shop them
up and put
them into
pieces and
stuff like
that.
Yeah,
wood butcher.
That's a
carpenter.
That's a
carpenter's
snot.
What are
you talking
about?
Do...
So,
uh,
Tub creature,
does this,
uh,
do you call
them wood
butchers out
here,
or are they
carpenters?
Oh,
I apologize.
Apologize profusely.
You keep
referring to
me as
Tub person.
Yeah,
it's Tub
Guy of
House
Guy.
No,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
my,
my name,
my name.
I spent a
narrative
declaration.
It's
House
Guy.
Oh,
my God.
What is
your name?
Salty.
I knew
that was
coming.
Mark down,
mark down
the hero
point,
please.
Yeah,
that's
right.
Spend a
hero point.
It's,
it's Tub
of House
Guy.
I'm Tub
of House
Guy.
This is
abuse,
chat.
I'm being
abused.
Just see,
like,
the wince of
pain across
this person's
eyes as their
brain in reality
is rewritten.
you allowed
narrative declarations
to happen.
I'm just
using the
system.
We were
bad.
The person
went,
went out of
his way
to,
like,
find a
name for
this now
beloved
NPC.
I,
I used
a Mad Max
name generator
and everything.
Fuck yeah.
Tub
of House
Guy.
Tub of House
Guy.
Tub of House
Guy.
I mean,
that is a
good name.
It's true.
It's true.
You're going to
say Tub of House
Guy.
Thank you,
Tub.
Thank you,
Tub.
You are very
welcome.
Thank you,
Tub.
A humanoid-esque
creature with
an enlarged
brain watches
you,
Rahua.
I don't,
I don't like
that.
Well,
you're the
largest plant.
Mutants,
yeah.
Yeah.
You're like
the largest
plant that
people have
ever seen
before.
So,
then you
walk around
and that's
to it.
I'm not a
plant,
though.
I'm a
Kanrasu.
She turns
around and
squints at
you like,
what the fuck
you're talking
about?
Do you see
me?
Do you see
the little orb
in the center
of this frame?
No,
I see the
leaves and
the wood.
Look closer
with your little
gallinoid eyes.
Yeah?
Look at the
relatively
basketball-sized
orb in the
center of the
sphere.
What about it?
That's me.
That's me,
Snot.
I want you
to see me.
Well,
that's you.
That's me.
Everything else
is just as a
construct.
It's an
animate frame.
In a lot of
ways,
it's like
you're a robot.
Except I'm
piloting this.
You're a mech
pilot like me?
In a manner of
speaking,
yes.
That's so cool.
You must be
rich to have
one made out
of wood.
No,
I'm just the
cosmos in a
small package.
You do know
that every single
person here
with a knife
on them
wants to kill
you and sell
you for parts,
right?
That's crazy.
I'll send them
to the void
beyond stars
if they die.
High five.
High five.
High shovel.
Wow.
The brain
creature
like
floats
over to
you,
Rahua,
coming within
about five
feet and
just like
cocked head,
which might
just be because
the bulbous
like
rear cranium
is so large
that it's like
causing the
head to move
to its side.
It pulsates.
Oh.
Not fond of that.
Can I
help you?
You feel it
talk into
your mind.
Oh,
we're doing
this.
And you
hear a
distinct
I see
here.
You
see me?
I see
you.
I
should
hope so?
Your
earliest
mistake
will devour
you.
What?
It turns
to look
away from
you and
to look
at
Veena.
Uh-oh.
You're
going to
go home.
Master is
very angry
with you.
I'm going to
look down at
the gun
on my
waist.
I'm going
to pull it
out and I'm
going to
point it at
the tank
in the
brain is
suspended in.
What'd you
say about
my mom?
you want to
rephrase
that?
The head
like lulls
away from
you towards
Oren.
I'm looking
up with his
big wet
eyes.
He blinks.
Will you
say yes
now?
No.
Oren slinks
further in
the mech.
Don't remind
me of that.
The brain
like thing
turns away.
The other
one.
The other
one who's
not here.
The man
with the
metal.
Soon
he will
so
magnanimous
and the
brain thing
floats off.
You little
bitch.
I don't
like him.
I don't
like him.
Did I kill
that?
Were you
guys just
talking to
each other
like right
now?
That was
very awkward.
Oh,
nobody could
hear the
brain?
No,
it talked
into my
brain.
Oh,
the mutant?
She points
at Matt
the thing
that moves
away from
them.
Yeah.
Yeah,
that's just
a...
Yeah,
yeah,
he's just
a psycher.
A psychic
guy.
Huh.
Well...
Not fond of
that.
I...
I'm going
to throw
him off
the side.
No,
they're just
guys.
That's what
they do.
They're like
that.
They shoot
mind bullets.
Have they
ever considered
not being
like that?
Well,
they don't
have a
choice,
Rahua.
Everybody
has a
choice,
snot.
No,
they're like
that,
Rahua.
They're just
like that.
They need
the suspension
water and
everything.
Rahua gets
real low
and real
close to
snot.
Everything
in this
reality is
consensual
snot.
They wanted
to be like
this,
even if they
didn't know.
Rahua,
I think
you're a
little bit
ableist
right now.
Do you
want to
see a
cool bug
that lives
in my
body?
Whoa,
you have
a cool
bug in
your body?
I have
many
cool
bugs.
Wow.
She
climbs up
on him
and looks
at all
the cool
bugs.
Look
at my
cool
bugs.
Wow.
Snot
needs to
take the
class
feed
Adderall
prescription.
Never.
She
gussles
a little
bit of
earth
blood
and then
looks at
bugs.
I wonder
what the
bugs are
like here
in Golgotha.
Probably
like,
fucked up
spiders.
Big
scarabs.
Yeah,
yeah.
They're big
and flat
and big.
We did
have the
introduction
of the
beetle
riders
at one
point.
That is
true.
That's
true.
Yeah.
The
beetle
riders
were
from
the
North
land.
I believe
you
introduced
them.
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
which are
canon
in
documents
we've
written,
but they're
like in
the icy
wastes
far to
the
north.
they
there's
all
there's
also
funny
centipede
that
decided
to
regrow
its
its
limbs
into
teeth.
That
one is
out
there.
Hell
yeah.
Yeah.
All
bremblows.
They're
all part
of the
bremblow
family.
Oh,
no.
Lifecycle.
Yeah,
native to
Golgotha.
That's why
there's been
so many.
I mean,
that centipede
is statted
and has
art
somewhere.
It's
true.
Where
could they
find that
there soon?
Uh,
you know,
over at
our
Patreon,
you know,
patreon.com
for slash
narrative
decoration.
We're
pretty cool.
Oh,
my God.
Oh,
my God.
Can they
find all
of these
cool creatures
over there
narrative
decoration
at
patreon.com?
We do.
We do
make some
pretty cool
stuff.
Oh,
my God.
Will the
land barges
and such
things also
have their
cool stats
planted
there
within
due
time?
Maybe
one day
you can
see them
there.
Maybe.
That's
so cool.
That's
so
sick as
fuck.
It's
peem.
It's
peem.
Yeah.
So
with that,
you can
see that
the barge
is moving.
The sun
is setting.
The day
is turning
into a
rather
vibrant
crimson.
a red
sun.
Red
sun
over
paradise.
Yeah.
What?
How's
everyone
trying to
spend an
evening
on the
land
fortress?
I
burned
something.
Healing.
Okay.
Thank you,
Zoran.
I feel
like a
66 out
of 173.
Ow.
Vina's
going to
find
Tannhauser
when things
kind of
quiet down.
Tannhauser
is probably
going to be
in the
heart of
the land
barge,
kind of
talking
uproariously
and joyously
about the
revolution and
the group's
exploits to
all the
vandals.
Yeah,
he's at
home,
right?
Yeah.
This isn't
his life.
Yeah,
there's like,
there's dozens
of people just
like watching
in raptured
while the
industry like
churns around
in the
kind of
furnace heat
of the
land fortress's
interior.
And then
we stuffed
him behind
a couch!
A couch!
Yes,
yes.
And then I
see Vina
approaching.
Ah,
and this
is Vina.
Vina,
the
silver
swashbuckler
extraordinaire.
She is a
worthy captain
than she
knows.
Without her
at my
back,
I don't
know how
many of
those
exploits
I would
have
survived.
Come here,
Vina!
Oh,
all right,
all right.
Hello.
Tell these
fine and
enterprising
vandal soldiers
of your
glorious
exploits.
shit.
Oh,
fuck it.
All right,
Vina's going
to, like,
grab a,
like a,
like a,
I'm sure
they've got
some kind
of horrible
go-go-thing
grog on the
table.
She's gonna
take it
and down
it and
just,
it's oil.
All right.
That's delicious.
It's
cleaning
ethanol,
like,
just
thinned
out.
It's
clear and
smells
strong.
Made for
Vina,
there we
go.
Oh,
yeah.
It's like,
you've reached
that point in
witnessing someone's
slow consumption
by, like,
substance abuse
of, like,
yeah, we
probably should
step in at
this point and
be like,
are you
okay,
bestie?
It's like
oil-cleaning
ethanol
thinned out
with the
liquids from
various creatures
you find out
in the
waste.
Exactly.
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah,
Vina's gonna
lean in.
She's gonna
loop an arm
around Tan
Hauser's
shoulders.
Let me
tell you
guys the
story about
how we
fought a
giant
rot
platypus
with this
guy
walling it
in and
throwing acid
under his
feet.
You!
It's like
this masked
metal, like,
deckhand.
What is a
platypus?
Is it like
a dragon?
Yes.
Yes, it
is.
It's really
big.
Think of,
like, the
body of a
rodent
and, like,
a long
duckbill
and also
spines
because it
just kind of
has those.
another hand
goes up.
You!
Uh,
that's a
duck.
Uh,
it's like,
um,
it's like
an,
it's like
an evil
bird.
Oh my god,
these guys are
going to see
vultures.
Look at
that
duck!
Right?
No, no,
no,
we're going to
do emotional
damage to
Vita.
One of the
children raises
their hands.
You.
What's
evil?
Well,
ask your
mom.
My mom
died in
the
desert
wars.
I'm
really
sorry about
that,
kiddo.
Go ask a
trusted parental
figure,
and if you
don't trust
anybody on
this battle
barge,
um,
then,
um,
ask your
friend.
Nah,
I'm just
messing with
you.
Everyone
laughs at
you,
Vina.
Ah,
all right,
all right,
you got me.
You know,
I'm not good
with children.
I once gave
a child a
bottle of
wine,
and it
ruined her
entire life.
I used
to be a
children.
Oh my
god.
Wow!
Yeah,
I want to
go around
telling people
that,
that's not
really that
cool,
you know.
It's not
a funny
bit.
I heard
she jumped
into the
swamp or
something.
She's
probably
fine.
Anyway,
fuck all
that.
I'm going
to tell
you a
story
about how
we were
super
fucking
badass,
and we
kicked the
ass of
a giant
rot
creature.
You ever
seen the
rot?
It's
freaky
as hell,
and I'm
going to
roll
performance.
Because I
actually have
a plus
17 in
performance,
and I've
never used
it,
not a
once.
Holy
damn.
Well,
that's not
great,
but it's
still a
25.
25 is
good.
25 is
pretty good.
The people
are pretty
enraptured.
You can tell
they don't get
performances this
good here.
exactly.
And
Veena's
just going
to start
going into
the various
rot creatures
that they
fought.
She'll talk
a little
bit about
the platypus.
She'll talk
a little bit
about rot
dad and
this.
She'll talk
a little bit
about the
very first
one,
the
bull
guy.
Can't forget
the bull
guy.
We love
bull
guy.
And
yeah,
she'll
just
regale
people
with
stories
and
she'll
like
lead
over
to
Tannhauser,
you know,
like kind
of punching
him on
the arm
and like
gesturing
for him
to join
in and
recount
the stories.
Oh yes,
many great
battles we
fought,
but not
all of
them.
We were
lucky enough
to survive
unscathed,
but from
each victory
a triumph,
from each
defeat a
bitter lesson,
and our
enemies,
how we
brutalized
them.
We left
nothing of
our foes,
and so we
shall do
to the foes
of common
liberty
in this
the coming
days.
Another
hand
goes up.
Yeah.
Hello,
I have
a question.
Okay.
Is it
true
what they
say?
Do you
have a
tree
with you?
He's not
a tree,
he's more
of like an
orb that
pilots around
a tree
body.
That's
right.
And the
orb will get
really offended
if you try
to mess
with the
tree,
so really
don't.
And should
any man
attempt to
do so,
the unspeakable
horrors of
the chaos
demence
will be
thrust upon
them.
Fear that
tree,
my friends,
for that
tree has
sent man,
woman,
even gnomes
sputtering out
through the
pages of
history,
disperse
about like
a smear
on the
sands.
He cuts a
Rahua just
a tree.
Yeah,
what's Rahua
doing?
He's just
looking at it
like a
scarab beetle
that's scuttling
along the
ground.
He picks it
up,
kind of
studies it
for a
little bit.
The tree
bark splays
open on
his chest,
puts it
inside,
shifts
close.
He gives
a little
smile.
If he
looks up,
he can see
not in the
distance,
and he
in the
distance as
he lights
something on
fire.
He's also
a pretty
good plug for
brick,
apparently.
Oh,
yeah,
that's right.
He does
have a
suspicious
ability to
obtain
narcotics.
Correct.
I forgot
about that.
I'm going
to ask him.
Oh,
do you
have any
narcotics
on you?
No.
Oh.
Not today.
Yeah,
I'm sorry.
Yeah,
like,
like,
oh,
man!
Damn it!
No,
they're
actually,
they're,
like,
incredibly
just caught
up in
everything
that,
like,
that
Tannhauser
is kind
of dropping
down on
them.
Hell,
yeah.
Is it
true
you're
gonna
kill
the
general?
it
is
almost
certain.
Should
he not?
Well,
let's be
honest,
we all
know these
generals.
Any
foe of
the common
man is
a foe
of me.
Let this
be a
lesson to
your
vandals.
It's,
like,
deep
nodding
between
them all.
But,
but,
but you,
you think
you could
take down
General Dusk?
I have
no doubts.
Do you
know
anything
about
General
Dusk?
Why don't
you tell
me about
General
Dusk?
He's a
warlord.
Who does
punch souls
out of
people's
body?
He's a
warlord.
Like,
dude,
who,
how strong
could he
be?
Like,
he's as
strong as
the people
he's running,
right?
He's just
a guy,
right?
They call
him
the
world
ender.
Hell
yeah.
I
relieve
instantly
bitch
out.
Well,
time to
go.
He's,
he prefers
to be
called
the
massive,
but
everybody
calls him
the
world
ender.
He
has a
spiked
mace
that said
that every
spike on
it
was made
from a
barge he
personally
tore apart
with his
hands.
He
replaced
his,
his
entire
throat
with some
kind of
augmentation
that lets
him shout
and burst
people's
ears apart.
Ooh.
you guys
got earplugs?
I
saw him
from afar
once.
He,
he shouted
at one of
the land
barges and
it flipped
over and
then he
walked up
to it
and
and he,
he opened,
he,
he opened
his shirt
and,
and there
was a mouth
inside it,
a metal
mouth.
Hmm.
He ate
a man.
Well,
he's far
from the
first cannibal
we've had
to dispatch.
That is true.
No matter how
mighty his
voice is,
nothing is
mightier
than the
No,
you,
you,
you don't
understand.
The mouth
on his
stomach
ate the
man.
And as
we drove
away,
we could
hear him
laughing
while he
was still
eating the
man.
So he
has two
mouths.
That is a
little freaky.
Could be
worse,
though.
Well,
let's not
say that.
He could
have three
mouths,
I guess.
Yeah.
That is
true.
He could
always have
more.
Maybe he
has a
mouth.
Maybe he
has four
mouths.
Then what
do we
do?
Fuck.
If he has
four mouths,
then we
do the
forfeit.
We cut
to like,
all right,
we're leaving
Beigel
go.
Good
side arc,
everybody,
but four
mouths.
Thurston
doesn't know how
to design
encounters.
Fuck.
That's too
many for me.
The
raider barge
is fine.
The giant
barge is fine.
Working retail,
it's terrifying,
but it's okay.
Four miles on a
guy.
I can't do that.
That's scary.
We got to go home.
Bye, Thurston.
It's too
damn scary.
Smash cut,
you just see the
airship flying away.
Indiana Jones
flight,
overworld montage.
Everybody back in the
airship.
Go,
go,
go,
go,
fuck itself.
True.
Erndale comes
back.
So how's the,
we didn't finish.
What?
What do you mean?
We didn't finish.
We're not going
back.
We had four mouths.
Four mouths, dude.
The campaign's
fucking over.
It's too many,
it's too many mouths,
Erndale,
we couldn't do it.
I'm so tired.
I'm so tired.
What?
I'm so tired.
Hulky?
Do you need help,
buddy?
Yeah,
like,
I'm so tired.
Hulky?
I'm so tired.
I'm so tired.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I didn't say hug.
Happy pride.
Happy pride.
Happy pride.
Grabs onto Hulky,
cries a little bit,
and goes,
why must there always
be war?
Why?
It's a,
it's a vaunted tradition
here at narrative
declaration.
It sure is.
Look,
the swallow hole ability
is on an amazing
number of eye-level
creatures.
So much,
reset the chalkboard
a number of times
Vore has been mentioned
for a stream.
Days zero.
Finally a stream for me.
Reset the chalkboard.
Fuck.
Well,
nothing we haven't dealt
with before, eh?
I don't care what horrors
this land has to provide.
I've faced it before.
I've had my body
blown apart
with explosives.
I was rebuilt
atom by atom
through Zesco
and science.
You think I'm scared
of a man
with two mouths?
No,
I thought you'd probably
be more scared
of the legions
of DNA troops.
Yeah,
yeah,
that was what I was
going to be scared of.
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
Hmm.
We'll figure it out.
What's the worst
that could happen?
We die?
I cannot fear death.
No,
you live
and then they take you below.
Hmm.
Huh?
Letting me live
has been the last mistake
of many a man
and it would be
their last mistake.
I do not fear death
and when I am done
with this land,
when I have freed outset,
I will return here
and I will liberate
those below
and bring light
to the dark.
Oh,
you wouldn't die
if you went below.
You'd live forever
because they're down there.
Hmm.
Give me a will save,
Tannhauser.
Sure thing.
Ba-ba-ba-ba.
Uh,
29.
Okay.
You are assailed
by flashing images
at this.
It's like,
there's kind of
more raucous laughter
and joviality
at your,
your response
to this.
But,
images start to
flood into your mind
in,
in a pretty,
like,
distinct order.
The first,
the first of which
is you see
the immense citadel.
even though you've
never seen this
specific citadel,
it appears in your mind.
But then it
appears again
as though
inverted.
It's like,
upside down.
And instead of
open sky
silhouetting it,
there's rock
and dark stone.
And it takes on
this almost,
like,
ominous black stone
appearance
as it,
like,
goes further
and further
down.
And as you,
you see this image,
it flashes back
to
a robed
skeletal
figure,
um,
partially
ablaze.
A figure you
haven't seen
for almost
a lifetime.
Um,
and,
and you remember
this figure
from the,
your brief stint
in the temple
during your earliest
adventures.
And then
you,
you cut into
the interior
of this
blackened
inverted fortress.
And there you see
dozens of
robed figures
all congregating
around
what appears
to be
a fire.
And as you
see the fire,
you,
you,
you feel
the importance
of it.
And then you
snap back
to the
revelry.
Oh,
shit.
Oh,
that's,
uh,
down the
hole to
the left.
Right,
thank you.
A moment.
Uh,
and I'm going
to actually
get up
and leave
the revelry.
Okay.
I'm gonna trail
behind him.
Vina.
What's the matter?
I think I know
where the fire
is.
They brought it
down.
That's good.
down below.
No.
No,
it's not good.
Because that
means we're
going to have
to venture
where the light
doesn't shine.
Where the
darkest aspects
of this land
gather.
Golgotha's
military is
fearsome.
but in
the depths
below
there is
cold
black
eternal
night.
See,
not terribly
excited to go
anywhere we
can't see the
sky,
but
we came
here with a
job to do.
Two jobs,
really,
the way that
I see it.
One,
we find a
way to
undo what
happened to
Uncle Blaze.
And two,
we try to
leave your
home a little
better than
how we
found it.
I only hope
I have enough
time.
Even should
we win a
thousand victories,
it may not be
enough to
free both
this land
and
outside.
One step
at a time.
Leaving it a
little better
than the way
we found it
is,
it doesn't mean
all the problems
are fixed,
or that your
work's gonna be
done once
we free
Uncle Blaze
and once we
get this all
fixed,
but
the step
is a step
and
if I learned
one thing
from you,
it's that
a good
revolution
is
a million
baby steps
that
all lead
up to
that final
grand
moment
where you can
look back
at all you've
managed to
accomplish
and suddenly
all those
small steps
don't seem
so small
anymore.
But he's
true
and wise.
There's a
reason they call it
a struggle
after all.
Triumphs,
parades,
and victories,
those are
the tools
of power.
We,
we must
still grasp
for it,
but we will
have it in
our hands.
It is
inevitable.
Right.
So,
what exactly
is down
below?
Do you
know?
The
Black
Papacy.
You
saw the
facsimile
of them
in Sandal
Declan's
home,
the part
told to
children
and far
off lands.
Golgotha
only functions
thanks to
a vast
and overwhelming
slave
cast.
The
lucky ones
get to
toil to
death
under the
red sun.
The
unfortunate
stay
below.
They are
inundated
by the
magic of
the undead.
Not
necromancy,
but
vampires.
They
are made
their
thralls,
and they
are
anointed
in a
religion
so
heinous
and so
dreadful
that it
is stamped
out on
sight
in
every
other
place
but
here.
Down
below
is where
wills are
broken
and
nightmares
rule.
And that
is where
they have
taken our
flame.
well,
shit.
But it
could be
worse.
They're
not likely
to have
four mouths.
That is
true.
That would
be really
fucked up.
I would
have to
leave.
All right.
All right.
Let's take
our fucking
break at
that one.
that was
angry.
I'm sorry.
No, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm, I'm actually, I'm actually annoyed here.
Let me tell you why.
Because I had this whole great, this whole great funny line that I'm like, uh, Vena and Tannhauser are having a moment.
But like, the second Odo was like, oh, it's like, you know, like, you know, like, a million baby steps.
And I'm like, great.
From now on, every time I think of the revolution, I'm just going to call it the million baby revolution.
And that's going to be how this thing is in my fucking mind.
But I didn't interrupt.
I didn't interrupt because I wanted you to have a great fucking moment.
And then you spoiled it, speaker.
Okay, let's go on break.
Love you all, chat.
Bye.
You ever wonder how we can afford all this amazing art and keep the production going and narrative declaration?
Well, it's because of you.
Either you're a member of Patreon, a YouTube member, or a Twitch subscriber.
All the way to just someone who's just willing to watch the shows whenever they come out for free.
And then telling people that we exist, it's thanks to you that narrative declaration is able to grow to the size it is today.
And if you want to really help it grow even more, all the revenue that we get from our merch store at narrative declaration.shop,
where you can pick up game mats, t-shirts, posters, all sorts of things.
That also goes directly into supporting artists, animators, editors, players, game masters, anybody.
Anybody who helps make everything to be due here successful.
So thank you so much to you for supporting the show.
Either it's monetarily or just with your time.
Thank you so much and enjoy the show.
Um, funny bit.
Yeah.
Very funny.
Wow.
Can't see that.
It's been a bit of an awkward coming back because you just guys just, you know, hammed on each other.
Now you come back, we don't know where the role play is going.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Snot climbs into the mech with Oren and holds out a grilled scorpion towards him and goes,
I got your thing.
He munches on it.
How are you feeling?
Give me a fortitude save.
Instantly.
Instantly.
Damn.
There was no pause.
I know you're fucked up, little man.
Time to die.
Well, luckily, I have a plus 22 to this role because my fortitude is magic.
It's a master level, so it is a 34.
Yes, there you go.
You're fine.
You're fine.
You crunch into this.
It tastes so, um, it kind of tastes vinegary, but it's good.
It's good.
It's a good kind of vinegary taste.
I dipped it in oil rinser.
Oh.
Munch, munch, munch, munch.
It takes another bite.
It's pretty good, right?
No.
What?
What?
What?
It feels like my teeth are going to come out.
You don't like it?
No, I appreciate it, though.
Thank you, not.
Yeah, you look like you had a bad time there, buddy.
Well, I thought I was going to do something cool, but I got my ass beat.
Well, you did kill that guy that could shoot mine bullets.
Yeah, but you turned into a giant lizard.
Yeah, Gorgomonger's mad about it.
He's mad about it.
Yeah.
Why?
Because he's a giant lizard?
No, because...
I don't want to talk about it.
He kind of, like, turns away in the cockpit.
Like, munch, munch, munch, munch, munch.
Why not?
Snot has none of the social cues that the rest of the party has, and she just walks around him in the cockpit and sits down and goes,
Why not?
Well, because when I turned into a dragon, I asked, you know, Gorgomonger for help, and Gorgomonger didn't want to turn into a big dragon, and I did it anyway.
Well, yeah.
You can turn into a giant dragon.
That's awesome.
You know what I would do to be able to turn into a giant dragon?
I would kill so many people, Oren.
I would kill so many people for the power of turning into a big dragon.
And what do you...
Like, what did you do to turn into a big dragon?
You asked your friend to turn into one?
Is that all you needed to do?
I have to have his permission to do it.
Oh.
I didn't ask for it.
Oh.
I was stupid.
Yeah, that...
That's not good.
Not when he's your comrade.
But...
Can he, like, teach you how to do it without having to ask him every single time?
He used to be able to do it just fine.
But...
Yeah?
But I used to be able to do a whole bunch of cool things and a whole bunch of nature stuff.
And now...
I think I missed doing that and I didn't realize what I was doing before it was too late.
Whoa.
So, did you, like, give up something?
The problem I'm having is that I've been throwing up leaves and all my primal powers have been slowly but surely going away.
But I could still do some stuff and I didn't, I didn't know where it would come from.
I just thought I was just, you know, just weaker or something.
But now I've found out just by doing that that most of my stuff comes from Gorgamonger.
And so, when I finally found out I turned into a dragon, I just, I took that from him.
I didn't know.
So, you are reliant on one another.
I see.
Do you feel...
Do you feel like it's a...
A symbiosis?
Or do you feel that it's more like...
A deal?
Well...
Orrin tries to summarize the explanation.
Yeah.
Where he goes...
Where he basically goes, like, he explains the whole thing that happened with the toad that they met and everything else.
And that Gorgamonger used to be a rock creature.
And they had to put him down.
But to bring him back, basically, Orrin sacrificed something of himself when he jumped into this toad's mouth.
When he came out, he was able to get his friend back.
But slowly but surely, he's felt weakened.
And as Gorgamonger has become stronger and...
And Orrin kind of then punctuates his line.
He's like, I feel like...
Like, I could talk to Gorgamonger now without, like, speaking anymore.
Like, I know what's in his mind.
Like, I can see what's through his eyes now.
Yeah, he's like us.
Because we're best friends.
But I can't see through your eyes.
Why?
You can't see through my eyes.
I feel like I can.
I feel like I could.
This is the most parasocial tier four relationship.
I can see through you next week.
No.
We're best friends.
I have cameras everywhere.
Not to be like that, Orrin.
You seem to be very different from the rest of the Golgothan standard.
Well, I'm not from around here.
Well, no.
And Orrin, I'm sorry to tell you this, but...
She puts one oily hand on Orrin's shoulder.
And looks right at him with her one glowing eye poking out from her little mask.
And she taps him once.
I think you're pretty strong.
And I think...
Your big friend.
Your big cool lizard friend.
Your big Gorgamonger friend.
I mean, you brought him back from the dead.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't think that he should be thankful for the rest of his, you know, life that he once again has.
Because, I mean, if I died and someone brought me back, I would be their number one guy, you know.
I would be like, whoa!
And I'd go for it.
You know, always just be there until they didn't want me to be there.
Until I learned how to do it.
And then I would kill them and never resurrect them.
But...
All I'm saying, Orrin...
And she, like, wipes a little bit of grease on his shoulder.
I think you're pretty strong.
And I don't think you'd eat him.
I'm sorry if that's harsh for you.
She taps him once again.
But that's the Golgothan way.
And then she jumps out of her mech and runs over to Rahua with another, like, scorpion.
Rahua!
I got you a thing!
Oh, you got me a...
What is that?
It's a scorp...
I dipped it in oil rinser.
Is it alive?
Maybe.
Can I do a nature check on this to see if it's alive?
Yes.
Okay.
You got a nature check.
Here you go.
You like bugs, so I brought you a bug.
Wow, fuck me.
Okay, 22.
22 is enough for you to tell if something is alive or not.
It is no longer alive.
Snot, this is...
This is dead.
It's very dead, in fact.
What did you...
I dipped in an oil rinser and I put it over the fire.
So you killed and cooked it and brought it over to me.
You wanted to show me?
No, I want you to have it.
Thank you?
But I...
Yeah.
I can't really eat.
Orin didn't like it.
Orin didn't like it.
Rahua looks over at Orin and he, like, shoots him a very dirty glare.
As if to say, you look the gift horse in the mouth.
You look the gift scorpion in the claw, dude.
What the fuck?
You just see him in the cockpit still sniffling with big, wet eyes.
Oh, he still kind of said, okay.
Well, thank you, Scott.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I told him that his friend is weak and he shouldn't have him around.
Oh.
You know, did...
Did he tell you that those two grew up together?
Like, they're, like, childlike bonded.
They're bonded from childhood.
Do I need to remind you that I, like, killed 20 of my siblings?
I mean, you did.
Maybe that's what you do.
But that's not what people from his tribe do.
Well, that's why I told him, you're not a go-go fan.
And then I wiped some oil on him, you know, ritualistically, like.
And then I was, like, you know...
Ritualistic, or you just wanted to rub oil on him to see what we had?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
A little bit of column A.
A little bit of column B.
But, you know...
Ah, understandable.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I had, you know, once again, oil thinner on my hands.
So I did that.
And then I told him that he's pretty strong and he's pretty cool.
And he doesn't need, you know, a lizard to tell him that.
I see.
Yeah, that's what I told him.
Because it's true.
You are correct.
Are you going to eat that?
I would...
I mean, if it would make you happy, I can.
I can't taste it.
Yeah, eat it.
Okay.
I eat the fried...
The oil fried scorpion.
Give me a fortitude.
Okay, I got you.
There's 10.
Watch me roll very high.
I have a plus 20 to 42.
I believe in you.
That's five on the time.
It's 25.
Oh, my God.
Down in Golgotha, we know a little place.
Every July, scorpions grow.
The scorpions...
The scorpion is not dissolved by your orb.
Is it just sitting there in my chest cavity?
Yes.
It fossilizes.
Oh, you have...
Just watch it.
You have a sick, like, scorpion tattoo on your orb now.
I'm just going to leave, like...
I'm just going to leave the, like, ramifications of this up in the air.
You have a scorpion in your orb.
She wipes a little bit of oil on his face.
You are one with the scorpion now.
And then she runs away.
Wait, where?
Like, forever?
And then welcome back to the show, earned him.
That would have been the funniest bitch.
That would have actually been the best way to get rid of Star.
Now, Thurston.
Yes.
Thurston.
Yes.
Yes.
I would like to make a narrative declaration, but it's not one that affects the story.
It's not one that affects the story.
It's a narrative declaration.
They never are.
Of course, of course, of course.
The narrative declaration is for you to not kill me for what I'm about to say.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
Rahua looks down at the scorpion.
Okay, yeah.
Yep, keep going.
Rahua looked down at the scorpion that dropped into his chest cavity.
He puts his hand on it and says, Someday you'll be big enough to piss off all the players in the Elden Ring community.
It's true.
True.
There you go.
You got your Rahua empreg.
Happy pride.
Whoa!
Hello?
Does that mean that Snot's the father?
Whoa.
Snot a father?
Snot a father.
Hey, Chad.
Give me a one in a two in Ring and how much you like Rock Grine.
I love how we have these, like, deep character moments and then Hulky, who, by the way, like, I have to, like, sometimes take a cane and pull Hulky away from doing soliloquies.
He's like, nah, I'm just going to lean into the impreg joke tonight.
Thanks, man.
Thanks, man.
Thanks, man.
I'm going to let him be present on this show.
That's what I'm going to do.
Calling up John Pathline.
The orb dissolves the scorpion immediately because I'm done with this bit.
Oh, this is how you bully your GM into getting you a Ewok.
Take notes.
Take notes, players.
Happy pride.
Happy pride.
Oh, my free pride.
Why does it sound like you took, like, a shot of, like, scotch or something as you said that, okay?
When you were just like, I'm going to take a sip of my big bottle of orc strength.
The strength is water.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Very good.
Very good.
Go ahead.
Perfect.
Beautiful.
Art.
Okay.
I feel lightheaded.
Go ahead, Kay.
I feel lightheaded.
Rahua will walk over to Oren, who is still sniveling in the mech.
And punch him in the mouth.
Stop being sad, idiot.
You want to make an area of the declaration?
Walks over.
What did a mean goblin tell you?
I imagine her who just walks up and says, a bitch that sniff.
Ain't no cowards on my team.
I didn't raise no coward.
Punch him again.
Oh, you flint.
You're crying.
You're crying, you little dirt baby, because you're dirt.
You're worth nothing.
It's another Oren sociopath session.
Oh, my God.
You're molding him into the snake plisking he needs to be.
Oren leaves.
He looks up from the sink.
And he sees the devil horn in bed in his head grow bigger.
He's like, I'm the boss.
No one's here to say that it works.
I say, I say.
Oren brought us to hell, but we're going even deeper.
I mean, he went invisible last session, so.
That's true.
Oh, wait.
Oh, yeah, I did go.
Oh.
I should be drinking.
You're sober for this.
I'm sober for every session.
Are you kidding me?
Could you imagine if I was drunk?
This is true.
I don't take any drugs, drink, or anything.
I basically have no vices, but I really should start taking gummies for rock.
Only help.
Wait, wait, wait.
Keep relied.
I don't want to talk further, but I'm sorry, no.
Now I just have a montage.
I just, I'm sorry.
There's a montage.
It's like, no speaker live.
Cut back to our, like, past however many goddamn episodes we've done.
All the times that we've been like, all right, we have to go beat Slabber.
Go to fuck or be cut to speaker's house.
Him with a gummy in his palm.
The palm is shaking.
You know, I can guarantee all of you.
I think every single episode of Narrative Declaration has been done sober.
Yeah.
That sounds right.
That doesn't sound.
I don't know.
This is when we're like, sober, dude.
I was trying to think, honestly, has there ever been a, I think there's been like once,
but like, that was when I think everybody was drinking.
Yeah, that was the one where we did have everybody at a cocktail.
I remember having one.
Yeah, that, that, that occurred.
That wasn't what I don't drink.
Not yet.
Another one but you.
I hold the bottle in the car keys.
Everyone was following a prank.
Let's all get drunk before rock, right?
Zorin, what's the, what's the over under on getting a sponsorship with an edibles manufacturing company?
Can we get a glub talk edible?
Probably.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
It would, if you took it, it would make you small.
A sour pack.
It's a sour patch homunculus.
Oh no.
So, uh, does the barge explode?
We'll pay views within, within one month.
Sure.
We have a better chance at that point.
That, that's the gauntlet.
Let's, let's make an edible that fucking destroys you.
And if we reach, and if we don't reach that many views, one of the hostages dies.
We're calling Bricky right now and we're saying, we're saying Bricky, can we put, um, rum-tom gummies on Orchid 8?
Um, what, what, what happened?
Where am I?
Uh, we're in Golgotha.
You're in hell.
Talk to Sad Oren.
You knew that already, didn't you?
Yeah, Rahua came up to Sad Oren and they were about to have a moment, but then I don't know what happened.
Yeah, have a moment.
No, Rahua brings forth the edible to the sad boy.
Okay.
Hey, buddy, how are you doing?
My friend's mad at me.
Why is your friend mad at you?
As if I didn't overhear your entire conversation.
Damn.
Should I do a giant dragon and I didn't know I was gonna take power from him and, and it's a whole thing about permission and understanding and I didn't understand.
Well, the thing I've learned in my scant few years upon the firmament is, well, twofold.
One, friendship is a dance or a game of give and take.
It's a two-part thing where we don't always necessarily know how much we give to others and how much we take them in kind.
And if it goes one way too much, sometimes we just have to make amends, we have to live with the consequences of that.
It's, if you have that kind of understanding with him, and by all accounts this is all very new to the both of you,
then he should be understanding that you shouldn't have done that, or at the very least if you knew, to not do it again.
And the second part, I suppose, is oftentimes it's better to ask for forgiveness rather than permission when the situation calls for it.
Yeah.
You're not a bad person, Oren, but sometimes when the chips are down, you, well, sometimes you have to do what you have to do.
Ain't for who, uh, I'll try to think more on it.
Take your time, friend.
You need anything else?
Do you want to, I mean, I don't have much I can offer you.
I have a cool puzzle box or I have narcotics.
Would you like either of those?
I love, once again, great, great scene, literally ends with, well, I've got these edibles on me.
I got these edibles, you love talking.
I got this shit that makes you see sideways?
Oren says no, and he practically makes it like a little bird nest in the back and like, he's like, no, I'm gonna, I'm gonna talk to Korka.
Baby bird.
And then he kind of lays his head down and goes to sleep.
Be well, friend.
Rahua will, uh, stick his hand into his orb and whisk forth his camouflage netting that he had two arcs ago and drape it over him like a blanket.
Yeah, for sure, for sure.
Um, okay.
Uh, is everyone resting, uh, I assume at this point?
Are there any more interaction?
I think, I think now is a good time for Danhauser to rest.
Indeed.
Let us rest.
Yes.
All right.
After all of that time, Oren, you regain your hit point.
Yay!
Yay!
Um, managing to rest and get healed up.
You, you spend the night on the march, each of you in, in different, in different states.
Um, each of you, you know, somewhat emboldened, somewhat troubled by, by the things you have seen or felt or heard or been told by mysterious mutant brain people.
Night falls.
As the vast fortress continues its slow, plodding trek through the Golgothan wasteland.
And you wake much to the same sky as you fell asleep to.
As, as you do so, you can see that there is a, a red sun rising.
Distance.
Uh, the, the twilight night now replaced with a crimson sky.
As you are continuing on this journey, you can tell that the, the land fortress is slowing.
You seem to be coming up close towards some sort of outcropping of rocks and elevation of them ahead.
And you are approached by tub of house gi.
Yeah, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, tub of house gi, who brings you all together atop the barge.
Uh, well, uh, well, uh, we are here.
Uh, I believe in the rocks, we can see some of Nostrom's people that we have flying the flag of troops.
It's a pair of white pants on their side.
I believe you have someone there that you know that you can speak with.
Yes, that would be Nostrom themselves.
Oh, well, okay.
As we come to a stop, you can go off the plank there.
Very good.
Thank you, top of gi, or whatever your name was.
I'm telling you.
Get another life, what actually would you be called?
Well, let's, uh, let's pull up the Mad Max name generator again.
Give me a moment.
What was he called before he was dubbed?
Yeah, yeah, before the dub ruined it, I would have been called a true blue, the grease bucket driver of the demented one.
Yeah, that's what's tub of gi is, my friend.
Tub of gi is fucking better.
That sounds so fucking stupid.
Your imagination's dumb.
No!
Thanks, random character and party.
We were really, you know, the world was really your oyster there for the second tub, but, you know, now it's just kind of ruined.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Can't believe you dream for a worse name.
You know, I know, I knew another person from the house of gi.
Oh, no.
I, yeah.
Yeah, it was other gi.
You descend down the plank towards your rocky outcropping.
Into hell.
Everyone give me a perception check.
We're looking for 32 here.
It's the magic.
Yeah.
Ooh.
Yeah.
Uh, I got a 31.
I didn't hit it.
I got a 31.
Hey, I got a 37.
So, I don't know why it rolled me twice.
The first one was a 32.
I got 24.
Okay.
Okay, well, it seems like Tannhauser and Oren are able to detect that up above, there are at least two dozen individuals who are in cloaks that obfuscate them from conventional view.
They are, um, they are hidden amongst the upper levels here in the stone rocks.
They all have kind of long, musketed rifles that are trained on you.
Uh, but they do not appear to be firing.
They're just kind of covering your approach.
Hmm.
All right.
Steady.
Steady.
No sudden movements.
Why not?
Because there's men with muskets that have a number.
Oh.
And I will point that out to my comrades.
Yes.
There, some of them seem to disappear, some of them return.
After a few moments, one of them, uh, one of them seems to hold up a hand, like, breaking cover, allowing the rest of you to see them.
Uh, all of those of you who didn't make the perception check are suddenly, like, surprised by just how well camouflaged these individuals were.
They hold up a, they hold up a, a wording hand as though beckoning you to stop at you once.
Halt!
Uh, all of you stop, I assume?
Yep, of course.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
As you, you come to a stop, there's a few minutes of sort of, not a, not a tense standoff, but just this, this moment of waiting.
And then coming out from within the caverns up ahead is Ministra.
She walks boldly out.
She seems to have a slight scowl on her face.
What have you done?
You've brought vandals here.
Vandals under my flag.
These have come here as allies.
Do I once?
No, no, sorry.
Uh, not my flag.
That's a flag of truce.
I have come to negotiate these vandals' inclusion to your movement.
Inclusion?
That cannot be trusted.
Certainly.
Do you want to kill them as much as you do?
Once I was a vandal.
If you would call me an ally, you must be willing to call them one in turn.
Yeah.
We, we take whatever we can get, but.
And there's like, there's a, a pause.
You can tell, you will have to make an impression on this person.
Oh, are they unknowable?
To convince them.
You know, you know, you know, I think in this case, they might be worthy of a courtly grace
or two.
So, I see.
Well, I happen to have that fee, um, so I suppose I'll make an intimidate check here.
You'll do it.
Yeah, very good.
Very good.
You'll do it or I'll kill you.
Good.
Can I aid?
Yeah, absolutely.
That's going to be a 39.
I would love some help.
I will roll Diplomachy because she's all, she's yes manning, uh, Tanniser.
Yeah.
I roll a six, but I do achieve a 20, which does grant a plus one bonus.
So, it goes to 40.
Absolutely.
All right.
Listen, these are vandals.
I know they're kind.
They are untrustworthy savages, but they are just as tired of being cannon fodder as any
other member of this dreadful society.
If you take control of them, lead them, could potentially organize them, use them as a vital
weapon in the fight against the enemy.
You cannot afford to turn down allies when your foe is the Golgothin Diktat.
I suppose, but we are, we are scattered.
They, they trounce around on that thing.
And she like points to the land fortress.
Well, it ain't stealthy.
But they can be used for things that ain't stealthy.
Like what?
You know, kill people.
And assault a distraction.
Yeah.
Like, it's pretty big and distracting.
Send them against the front door?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, you know, when they knock on the front door, you go in through the back door.
There's like, there's this like slight pause as you can hear the, the gears turning and
then a, oh, yeah, you truly are devilish.
Indeed.
Yeah, we can put a bomb on it.
Okay.
I, I was thinking that they would fight and faint and draw out their resources while you arrange a sneak attack.
I suggest a bomb.
Well, I'll let you use your judgment there on which one is best.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, then I think this, this, this could work.
In fact, that mechanical monstrosity might be enough to break, break through the walls.
Yeah.
Would they do it?
Go ahead and ask them.
Oh, I, I, I couldn't.
I'm going to, um, turn it to the vandals.
Man of Golgotha!
Nostrum asks if you're willing to charge headfirst into hell.
If you are willing to bring noise and battle and bloodshed to the seat of the diktat,
to knock on the front door while our allies sneak in the rear.
Will you do this?
It's impossible!
Thankless task!
There's like an immediate sound of metal tools and implements clanging on metal in like a rhythmic
force.
Clunk!
Clunk!
Clunk!
Clunk!
And like, it intensifies.
The sound's starting to reverberate off of the cliff.
Some of the, some of the, the, like the, the Strom's, you know, insurgents seem almost
perturbed as like the reverberations cause small rocks to tumble.
Um, but, but, but the, the sound is very clear and very defined in, in its response.
Well, it seems like they don't do it.
So, then, then we, we go to assault the keep of, of the diktat.
Let me see your battle plans.
I will lend any aid I can.
I trust you've organized it well.
Well, we've started a map.
All right, let me see what you've done.
Like, you were brought inside to the cavern, which is, you know, fairly sparse.
Um, it looks like an average dungeon in Dune Awakening.
Um.
It's an Imperial Testing Center!
Yeah, it's an Imperial Testing Site, um, it has plants inside!
Those have some components you need!
Load it!
Quick, quick, I need all the particle capacitors and advanced servos that you can carry!
Quick!
Oh, they come growing trees, you know!
Um, and then you are brought to, to a table that has almost like a childlike crayon drawing on it.
Uh, give me, uh, give me a Warfare War check.
You got it.
Hey, it's a 37!
You're embarrassed just seeing this plan.
Like, this, this is not a plan.
This is a joke.
They were gonna, like, send some people inside and then put up some posters and think that everyone would follow them if they just did that.
Oh, fuck.
The Ask Nicely initiative.
Nastrum.
Like, it's like, it's like that kid who's shown off a piece of art to their friend and is, like, nodding, like, yes.
This is going to get everyone killed.
Uh, uh, oh, uh, you, you think so?
Yeah.
Yes.
You're dealing with Lord Golgotha.
You said you were attacking a citadel.
I thought you had a plan.
What are the numbers?
Who all do you have here?
Yeah.
Well, there are...
87 of us.
Oh, 86.
The sans skaterer got Ted.
And you thought you could take out the tech god?
Well, once the people, once they, once they rise up...
Tenhauser is just rubbing his head.
Oh, my god.
But you don't even have rocks.
Is there any chance, even with these vandals that we've conscripted, any chance at all, that the forces arrayed here would have any hope of taking out a citadel?
Tenhauser, with a 37 on a lore warfare check, there's always a chance.
In fact, whilst your, your embarrassment stems less from the fact that they even thought they could do this...
Well, that, that is actually the primary reason.
But, it's more now the amusement that, you know, you could do it.
Well, you're quite fortunate here.
I think I can see a way.
I recall my time amongst the vandal soldiers.
We occasionally brushed up against several DNA platoons from this very citadel.
If we, if they maintain a similar command and sentry structure, then they should likely be had intermittent breaks at this time.
Positioned here and here, and certainly over a marksman at this location.
Yes, if we can, I think I can conjure up something here.
Something from all of this.
Yes.
Nastrum, if I were to create another set of plans, would you be able and willing to follow them?
Ah, yes, do you need more crayons?
Yes, many crayons.
Okay, okay, we can, we can go get those.
All right, and I'll put one over here, and another one over here, and I'll cut it with this one, and, uh, or, and, uh, eat this one.
I saved you the red one.
Yes, I see it!
Ah, my stratagem.
It can take down even this Goliath.
Does it get plus one of the wounds?
Well.
Yes, I call it Agent's Effect.
It allows me to cancel the strategy of my...
Oh, my God!
And on that note, everybody...
As Ted Hauser is pouring over the documents and coming up with the plan,
that's what we're going to call it for today before we get involved in the great siege of the Golgothan Citadel.
Wall.
Yay!
Wall!
May I have everybody to do, if you're on Twitch side, you can do exponential point schedule to see what we're going to do on our live streams,
because, uh, just, like, unfortunately, this one, just a tiny bit, uh, will be out maybe for a couple weeks.
But for those of you on YouTube, you'll just see us when we go, when the uploads happen.
Uh, so be sure to always check our schedule, either on the Discord, in the schedule section, or, uh, Twitch, you should be able to do exponential point schedule, see our Google Calendar, uh, so you can see exactly when streams happen, along when videos happen, and stuff like that.
Of course, if you want to support us, here's always patreon.com forward slash narrative declaration, where you get everything that's popping.
And, of course, being a member on YouTube or a subscriber on Twitch also gives you some awesome benefits.
But, of course, if you can help us in that way by helping us financially and stuff like that, that is okay.
We understand how the world is.
And times are tough out there, so if you really want to help us out, one of the biggest ways is to tell people that we exist.
Going out into the world saying, hey, these guys do a tabletop RPG show, all that other stuff.
Please share our videos, please watch our videos, all of the fun stuff, because we can put out our animations, things like that, and we would love it if people saw more of that type of stuff.
So, with that, we'll go ahead and reintroduce everybody, where you can find them.
Odo Roshi, where can they find you?
It was me, Odo.
I brought you Veena, the self-swashbuckler.
You can find me at BlueSky, at OdoBytes.
You can find me on Discord, at Odo.
You can find me on Tumblr, if you dare.
And, um, that's me.
And then we got HulkyCrow.
Hello, I have been HulkyCrow, as I always am, and I am, or was, playing Rahua the Konrasu Cleric.
You can find me over at Twitch, at TwitchTV forward slash HulkyCrow.
You can find me on BlueSky and the Forbidden website by the same username, as well as on Tumblr and Discord.
Don't be shy.
Then we got a speaker.
Hi, everybody, I'm going to be a speaker.
You can find me on BlueSky, and, uh, you can find me there, as, as, as, as, as, as, as speaker D.
Um, and, uh, you can also find me on Arrakis.
My desert.
Yeah, if you find us in Dune, come say hi.
Of course, we also have SaltyJob.
Where can they find you?
Yeah, you can find me at SaltyJob on any, on all platforms.
I'm a little funny variety streamer.
I do art most of the time.
If you want to see cool behind-the-scenes stuff and whatever for this kind of show,
maybe sometimes I'll give you some cool work-in-progress things.
Who knows?
Probably not.
But I can show you cool art, at least.
Uh, yeah, that's me.
I've been playing Snot.
She's a goblin.
Thurston, where can they find you?
Hey, you can find me at all the things on Call GM.
Um, I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna be out for, like, two weeks now, uh, which is dating
this episode a bit, but just so you know, for live people who, like, watch this live.
Um, uh, because, you know, there's, there's, there's stuff.
I'm going on some trips right now, so I'm looking forward to that.
But yeah, all the things on Call GM.
I love your face, everybody.
And I have been your host for this evening.
I am Zoran the Wizard, playing Oren.
You can find everything about me at ZoranTheWizard.com.
Hopefully, you can come over to the YouTube channel or the Twitch streams whenever I do
stream, and come say hi.
It's really nice to have company when I do so.
And with that, we are going to be leaving you all.
Everyone, please keep it easy.
Please stay safe.
And we'll see you all next time with RotRind.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Hi.
Yay.
Yay, baby.
.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
