Starry Eyes
Hello, everyone. You are listening to the first WKNC D and D podcast. This is Fantasia World Tour with me, the DM Starry Eyes. I'm here with four other DJs from WKNC. Would you all just like to, like, introduce yourselves?
00:28
Starburst
OMG. Wow. I'm DJ Starburst. That's it.
00:32
Starry Eyes
That's me.
00:33
Starburst
I play radio music.
00:35
Slim Chino
Hello, I'm Slim Chino. I sometimes play music on the radio and sometimes I also play music on the.
00:43
Sleeping Draugr
I don't.
00:43
Slim Chino
I don't know. I don't know where to. I don't know where to go with this.
00:46
Starry Eyes
Yeah, all right.
00:47
Sleeping Draugr
I. Hello? Hello? I'm sleeping. Draugr and I will play music on the radio soon. Soon.
00:53
Slim Chino
Yay.
00:55
Orbital Death Laser
Hi, I'm DJ Orbital Death Laser. I'm an electronic dj.
01:01
Slim Chino
Yay.
01:03
Orbital Death Laser
Amazing.
01:05
Starry Eyes
We're so excited to be here to play dnd. All right, I guess we'll just get right into it.
01:12
Starburst
Let's Dungeons and Dragons it.
01:16
Starry Eyes
Wow. Wow. Now for session one, there is the world Music Competition coming up, the Dodger World Music Competition. However, two years ago, Laurie Dodger, the queen of the bands who helped found this world music competition, she disappeared. And she did not show up to the last competition. No one knows what happened to her, where she's gone.
02:03
Starburst
Who had their Discord Sounds on?
02:06
Starry Eyes
I don't think it picked up.
02:07
Orbital Death Laser
For the record, it's not me.
02:09
Starburst
For the record, it's not me because. I'm the one that sent the message.
02:13
Starry Eyes
It was me. It was me. Anyway, the Dodger World Music Competition approaches. Auditions are taking place across Fantasia to see which artists, solo or band, will be able to compete for the title of, well, the next world famous music artist. Essentially, whoever wins the World Music Competition gets to sign a big record contract with the world label. And it's an opportunity that happens once every two years. We find ourselves out in the Grand Desert of Fantasia. It's hostile for many reasons. The Grand Desert, of course, has a lack of water. There's monsters too, such as Surghu, the Great Worm. There's colossal dunes, flat wastes. However, there is one very well known town that exists out in this desert heat. Its name is Kannabondo. Some of you may know. It's definitely common knowledge that Con Abbando was founded by criminals evading the law.
03:28
Starry Eyes
This oasis, located amongst geysers and hot springs, well, it really just was a dusty little western town until the founding of its casino, the Ember Garden. The gambling and tourism that the casino brought in made Con Abbando Extremely successful for entertainers and charlatans. And more recently, the railroad known as the Baseline was extended to reach this town, bringing in even more wealth. We start off at the train station that reaches Con Abbando. Built a couple years ago by the World label, it sits just at the end of the Emberway promenade, which is this very nice, big sort of outdoor mall at the heart of the town. Let's see. I have a question to everyone. Who do you think is rolling up on the day of the auditions? Sort of like last minute?
04:42
Starry Eyes
Or are you all just kind of like, have already been here a couple days?
04:48
Starburst
Stream is low key last minute core.
04:50
Starry Eyes
Okay.
04:50
Sleeping Draugr
Yeah, I think I might be rolling up last. Last minute.
04:56
Starry Eyes
Okay, okay.
04:59
Orbital Death Laser
I think. I think that Fizz would be there, but, like, incidentally, like, he does. He's. He's working and he doesn't know what's happening, but he's about to find out.
05:08
Starry Eyes
Totally.
05:09
Slim Chino
Yeah, I think. I think Jam's just along for the ride. So potentially was doing some illegal activities.
05:23
Starry Eyes
Yeah.
05:24
Slim Chino
And was already there.
05:28
Starry Eyes
Okay.
05:28
Orbital Death Laser
There are no type A thinkers in this group.
05:31
Slim Chino
No.
05:32
Starburst
Hey, listen, if I'm a little bit late, I'm basically early.
05:37
Slim Chino
I don't know about that one.
05:38
Starburst
If I'm in the back of the line, I'm basically first in the pack. And by pack, I mean pack.
05:45
Sleeping Draugr
I've had business to attend to.
05:47
Starburst
What business?
05:49
Sleeping Draugr
I had to fit this train right into my busy schedule.
05:53
Starry Eyes
All right, well, the train, it rides through the desert. It's a long ride. It's boring, but it's also. It's beautiful. If you look out the window, you'll see just the rolling, sort of sandy desert landscapes with, like a few shrubs every now and then. But the train rolls up, its wheels grinding slowly to a halt before its whistle blows, signaling its arrival. And, you know, there's like a bunch of people getting off one by one, and one of them, let's see, who wants to go first. I feel like if you're like, super last minute, maybe Xanan is getting off. I suppose you have a lot of luggage that you're dealing with.
06:42
Sleeping Draugr
Maybe I have. I. I have some luggage, but I'm. I'm very determined in hauling it. Hauling it around, I think.
06:48
Starry Eyes
Okay, well, do you want to describe your character?
06:51
Sleeping Draugr
Yeah, I can introduce my character.
06:53
Orbital Death Laser
Yeah.
06:54
Sleeping Draugr
All right. So off the train steps Zannin Baltech. This is a pretty short guy, just cresting over three feet, Obvious, like gnomish ancestry, but obviously not quite a gnome. He's got this grayish skin, like Sort of the color of an ash flow. Dark shoulder length hair, very messy, but tipped with orange and blue.
07:18
Starburst
The.
07:19
Sleeping Draugr
With the end sort of fluttering up like flames. And there are, yeah, there's blue streaks shot through the hair that match his softly glowing blue eyes. And occasionally when he gives a big heave on this oversized brass briefcase that he's just tugging behind him. Probably weighs as much as him. Maybe more little embers come off of the ends of his hair. Let's see, he's very well dressed, very nicely dressed. Lots of various belts and pouches with tools and whatnot poking out. This appears to be someone who is maybe a crafter of some kind. Let's see, there are lots of sort of like cogs and tubing on some of these belts and pouches. And particularly there is one such construction that wraps up his leather gorget up to his neck and wraps around his temple. Seems sort of mechanical. And pulses of blue magic.
08:27
Sleeping Draugr
Occasionally light small runes on it.
08:29
Starry Eyes
Oh, wow.
08:30
Sleeping Draugr
And yeah, so this short guy is just dragging this really heavy looking briefcase with them just off the range. Clunk, clunk.
08:43
Starry Eyes
All right, well, thank you so much. I really love that description.
08:47
Sleeping Draugr
Thank you, thank you.
08:50
Starry Eyes
As this huge brass suitcase is clunking down the steps of the train stream, you are having to wait right behind. As this short little fiery guy is making their way down. What's your character look like and how do they react to being stuck here having to wait for this person to carry all their luggage down.
09:17
Starburst
Stream's like low key waiting, like, okay, so this is like, you know, this guy is what, 5, 6, shorter, white, but also like a half wood elf. So he's got like little pointy ears. I keep using the pronouns he. I'm just gonna give him he they pronouns. I'm just gonna accept he they pronouns because this I, I think of him as Rivers Cuomo. And so. And I shouldn't be thinking of him that way because he's just trying to be Rivers Cuomo. He's got like this like, kind of like fluffy black hair that's not really fluffy at all, but like it's, there's a lot of it. And, and you know, he's just got a little smile on his face, except not really because he's probably tired. I don't know, he looks a little sad. He's thinking about Buddy Holly right now.
10:04
Starburst
And he's, he's like just standing behind this guy and he's like, what's up with all this? Guy's luggage, but he doesn't really care that much because he understands it. Cuz like, look, he's got a backpack on and it's got like his guitars and stuff on it. And there's a little. Or no, there's a little bag on his side that's probably got his guitars in it. His bag of holding.
10:25
Starry Eyes
Ooh, amazing. Okay, thank you so much for introducing stream. Eventually you both are able to get off the train. And I suppose nothing really of great importance happens after you see that there's this, you know, there's like a gate exiting the train station platform, and above it is this big white banner with this sort of red and gold colored printed text that says auditions for the world music competition are taking place inside the Ember Garden Palace. And yeah, there's like another like big welcome banner. And then you see there's like a sign sort of propped up and there's even like a, just like a like human guy. He's just kind of like has like a little suit on, sort of, I don't know, like a news cap. And the sign reads, sign ups are at the main theater in the Ember Garden Palace.
11:38
Starburst
Am I directly like behind the guy with all the luggage?
11:42
Starry Eyes
Yeah, you are.
11:43
Starburst
Kind of like talk to him.
11:46
Starry Eyes
Yeah. I mean, do you dare.
11:49
Starburst
I look at the guy in front of me with all the vlogging like, what are you, what are you playing? Are you here for the music tournament?
11:56
Sleeping Draugr
Oh, well, yes, I certainly am for what I'm playing. Well, you see, I'm sort of an innovator, if you will, a revolutionary. And I have brought my instrument here and I pet the suitcase, the briefcase on the side clangs loudly. And you know, not to give anything away to my adoring audience, but if you swing by these auditions, I would be sure to give you a little sneak peek.
12:30
Starburst
I'm one person. Why are you talking to me like I'm your audience?
12:34
Sleeping Draugr
Anyone is a potential audience member.
12:36
Starburst
Well, that's true, but I'm also here for the tournament, so, you know,.
12:44
Sleeping Draugr
Well, best of luck. But I've got something pretty special here, I think.
12:51
Starburst
Wait till you see my guitar shredding.
12:54
Sleeping Draugr
Guitar shredding? That's. That's so five years ago.
13:00
Starburst
Whatever you believe,.
13:04
Sleeping Draugr
You know, I mean, I'm sure, you know, I, I. It looks like Zannin sort of comes to realization here. I mean, you know, I hear guitar shredding is coming back. Say, do you know where these ember. Whatsits Garden is.
13:19
Starburst
No, I was kind of just following you and hoping you'd know where it is. What's your name, by the way?
13:24
Sleeping Draugr
What are they? Put it there. Zannin Baltech.
13:27
Orbital Death Laser
Stream.
13:28
Starburst
Stream grabs. Grabs the guy's hand and is like, nice to meet you. Zannin Baltech. I'm Stream.
13:33
Sleeping Draugr
Stream. Just Stream.
13:36
Starry Eyes
Just Stream.
13:37
Sleeping Draugr
Well, pleasure to meet you, Stream, I'm sure. Hey, you're in the music industry. I'm sure we'll do business at some point.
13:45
Starburst
What kind of business? I don't make money.
13:50
Sleeping Draugr
Well, in that case, you know, maybe you say this tournament goes well, you come into some money if you're on with the record label. I'm, you know, I'm a member of the Guild of Luthiers and Instrument Crafters. You probably heard of us.
14:05
Starburst
Probably. I have no clue. I don't remember.
14:08
Sleeping Draugr
Whenever you need a new fancy guitar to shred on, I'm your guy.
14:12
Starburst
Mine? From my bard school.
14:15
Sleeping Draugr
Like a loaner? Like a rental?
14:17
Starburst
No, like I bought it from my bard school.
14:20
Sleeping Draugr
Oh, okay.
14:22
Starry Eyes
I don't know.
14:23
Starburst
Ever heard of Bardvard?
14:25
Sleeping Draugr
Have I heard of Barford?
14:27
Starburst
I went to Bardvard.
14:31
Starry Eyes
Yes, you have heard of Bardvard.
14:32
Sleeping Draugr
Oh, oh, yeah, Bardvard. Of course,.
14:39
Starry Eyes
As you say that the guy kind of like standing at the sign, sees two musicians rolling up and he kind of like waves at you. He's like. He's just like a normal white guy, but he's just. He's wearing like a really nice button down. Hey, YouTube. You two in a. In a band?
15:04
Sleeping Draugr
Us? I'm.
15:07
Starry Eyes
Yeah.
15:07
Sleeping Draugr
Yeah. Where's this Ember Garden place? We'd love to go there.
15:12
Starry Eyes
Yeah. Oh, yes. Ember Garden. The palace. The casino. Yeah. The signups are actually happening just outside the main theater there. And the auditions will be taking place later this afternoon. But you see, we're here right at the end of what's known as Ember Way, if it's your first time here. But there's plenty of little shops you could check out before you make it to the casino. But if you just look straight down any points, the Ember Way is just like this promenade or promenade, like paved with light tan bricks, lined with many palm trees. Every now and then there's like a. Like a public fountain carved from marble with like statues and stuff. But yeah, all the way at the end of this sort of like plaza, you see this big sort of palace like building.
16:08
Starry Eyes
And he points at it and he says, yeah, that's. That's the Ember garden.
16:15
Sleeping Draugr
Yeah. Xen Is sort of on their tiptoes, like, trying to look over people's heads.
16:22
Starburst
Oh, I don't have anything to say. I was trying to think to myself, and I was like, no, I have nothing. I have nothing.
16:26
Starry Eyes
That's totally fine. Yeah. So, I mean, yeah, Zan. And you kind of, like, peek around because it's definitely a little bit crowded here today. Seems like there's some excitement around these auditions.
16:37
Sleeping Draugr
Understandably. So I'll just, like, follow the direction that this person pointed and be like, oh, thank you for your help. I'll remember you when I'm famous.
16:49
Starry Eyes
Of course.
16:51
Sleeping Draugr
Didn't ask the name or nothing. Just, I'll remember you.
16:55
Starburst
Stream's just gonna follow behind Tannen. This is just easier.
16:58
Sleeping Draugr
Yeah, well, I'm making. I'm making a lot of space. I think, like, at some point during this conversation, I've modified the bottom of this briefcase to have cogs on the bottom so I can kind of put. Push it a little bit. So I'm clearing a lot of way with my briefcases of battering ram, I think. You think a dwarf gnome.
17:18
Starburst
You're a gnome?
17:20
Starry Eyes
Oh, I thought you were, like, a fire Genasi.
17:22
Sleeping Draugr
Yeah, I'm a fire Genasi. Yeah. No answers. Like, gnomish parents.
17:28
Starry Eyes
Okay.
17:29
Sleeping Draugr
Raised in a community with a lot of dwarves.
17:32
Starburst
Oh, okay. So that's. That's where you're getting the cogs from. I was like. I was like, this is like some. Like, I was like, is this a stereotype?
17:42
Starry Eyes
Well, as the two of you kind of walk off, the guy that's, like, directing people, he kind of, like, rolls his eyes. Because what Zannin said about, you know, remembering him when he's famous, it's definitely not the first time he's heard that. Today, you all make your way down Ember way. There's, you know, various shops and bars and restaurants built from terracotta. Somewhat bleached from exposure to the sun. Vines are kind of growing up the walls, and there's some fruit trees providing shade. And you see as you make your way to the palace, which is really. It's just, like, a fancy name for the casino. The casino is also made from terracotta, but very carved and detailed down to every sort of inch. Like, every square inch is sort of embroidered with, like, white and red stone filigree.
18:39
Starry Eyes
The central dome of this palace glints color of amber in the desert sun's light. And, yeah, there's these big, open, inviting golden gates. And sort of at the top of the building, there's this really, like, clashing aesthetic of a huge, glowing, electric neon sign, and it reads the Ember Garden. You two give me perception checks.
19:07
Sleeping Draugr
Oh, boy.
19:08
Starburst
I don't have dice.
19:12
Starry Eyes
I mean, I have a D20 if you need it, but yeah.
19:16
Starburst
Oh, thank God. I'm transgender now.
19:19
Sleeping Draugr
You're welcome. Wait,.
19:22
Starburst
I have, like, two sets at the same time. I didn't roll at all.
19:26
Starry Eyes
Unless someone has a really high passive perception. But I don't remember.
19:31
Starburst
What is my passive perception?
19:32
Starry Eyes
I'm trying to.
19:33
Starburst
I can't remember. Loki. I have a plus one.
19:37
Starry Eyes
So what did y' all roll?
19:38
Starburst
I rolled a 16.
19:40
Sleeping Draugr
I wrote an 11.
19:41
Starburst
Where'd it go?
19:41
Starry Eyes
Okay, I'm gonna re roll because I moved it.
19:45
Starburst
Okay.
19:46
Slim Chino
I got a 17.
19:47
Sleeping Draugr
Okay.
19:51
Starry Eyes
Shmoop. Jam.
19:53
Slim Chino
Hello.
19:54
Starry Eyes
You said you might be, like, up to. No. No.
19:57
Slim Chino
Good or good is a subjective thing.
20:00
Starry Eyes
Subjective. Is it fair to say you might be, like, delivering stuff to this town? Maybe.
20:06
Slim Chino
Or I may have some things that some people may want that's up to your interpretation?
20:14
Orbital Death Laser
If you have to ask, then you don't need to know.
20:18
Starburst
No, I really want to know. Like, I'd like to know. I don't know.
20:23
Starry Eyes
I don't know. Is Smoop Jam the kind of person to, like, do, like, a deal in an alleyway, or is that not the vibe?
20:29
Slim Chino
I really will do any deal. I'll do any deal. That nets profit.
20:35
Starry Eyes
Okay.
20:39
Slim Chino
In this case, I'm not allowed to. Sorry if this breaks the fourth wall a bit. This is my first time.
20:46
Starry Eyes
No, you're totally welcome to break.
20:47
Slim Chino
Should I be using, like, referring to myself in first person or in third person when talking about my character?
20:54
Sleeping Draugr
Either. I've done both. Okay. Yeah, I think I've done both.
20:58
Slim Chino
Yeah. I was gonna say y' all have done both.
21:00
Starry Eyes
I switch off a lot of the time.
21:03
Slim Chino
Well, I think I. This is a situation where there are goods in a box. And part of my task is to not open the box. I'm not allowed to know what's in there.
21:15
Starburst
You got any blue?
21:16
Slim Chino
SAny blue?
21:17
Starburst
Maybe teal.
21:18
Slim Chino
Maybe teal.
21:19
Starburst
Red, green?
21:23
Slim Chino
Come back to me next week with that one and we'll see.
21:26
Starry Eyes
You have goods in a box.
21:28
Slim Chino
I have goods in a box.
21:29
Starry Eyes
You don't know what they are, but you are actually sort of like, the casino is behind this sort of golden gate, but then there's this sort of big courtyard. I don't know if courtyard's the right word, but there's sort of a garden leading towards to the casino, and then there's a big sort of Loading dock area. And that's where Jam is currently dropping off some. Some unknown boxes to the casino itself. If that sounds valid to you.
22:08
Slim Chino
That does. It would have been nice to know that the casino was where they wanted it dropped off. But that information was not relayed until I arrived. So I might be doing bidding with some people who are more of significance than I was expecting.
22:26
Starry Eyes
I mean, and that's fair. Unless if this is too high profile for you, we can change it.
22:32
Slim Chino
No, no. I'm meaning this is in character. I like this idea.
22:36
Starry Eyes
Okay.
22:37
Slim Chino
Of. I was not expecting it to be high profile. And it is.
22:41
Starry Eyes
Yeah. So you're dropping off these goods and stream. You have really. I mean, at this time at least you have good eyes. Or maybe it's just random luck that you. You just haven't even been looking around and you see there's a. Well, what does Jam look like?
23:02
Slim Chino
Well, Jam, Shmoop, Jam is. Is a plasmoid. Think darkish green goop with, like, green, yellow, bright eyes. And that's the only discerning feature, really. I'd like to imagine wearing a cloak of some sort, interested in wizardry, but not far enough yet to have a nice wizard hat that, you know, that's a bit of a commitment, investment in identity. So I'm sticking with a hood for now. So imagine shady, but also, like, very harmless because I'm green so I can be placed there.
23:50
Orbital Death Laser
This is just like. Like a question that I have. Are you made out of goop or.
23:55
Slim Chino
I'm. I'm a plasmoid.
23:57
Orbital Death Laser
What's the quality of your. Of your skin?
24:00
Slim Chino
I'm gonna shake my mood board for reference.
24:04
Orbital Death Laser
So, like, if I were to shake your hand, would it be wet?
24:08
Slim Chino
I don't think it's. I don't think it'll be wet. I'm not slimy. I'm made of goop. But I would like to imagine.
24:14
Orbital Death Laser
Is it more like. Like, neato.
24:17
Starburst
So have you ever donated plasma before?
24:20
Slim Chino
I think, though. I think that's. I think that's a inappropriate question.
24:25
Starburst
I was gonna say me either, because I. I don't know what it looks like.
24:28
Orbital Death Laser
I have an iron deficiency. So.
24:30
Slim Chino
Actually, hold on, I need to search this in the. In the.
24:37
Starry Eyes
Yeah, hanging. Have you all ever felt, like, the galaxy slime?
24:41
Orbital Death Laser
That's what I was thinking.
24:42
Starry Eyes
And then when you let go, your hand isn't wet. Yeah, it feels wet. I don't know why. That's why.
24:47
Orbital Death Laser
Well, I was thinking, like, a neato, because, like, it's like a gooey kind of toy that you can squish in your hand, but it's not wet and it's not sticky.
24:56
Starry Eyes
Okay. I haven't played.
24:57
Starburst
Yeah, I keep hearing about those damn needles. I now work at Target. I keep hearing about those damn needles.
25:02
Orbital Death Laser
Oh, you're gonna have neato Trauma by like week two.
25:05
Starburst
It's Pokemon and Nido's that I keep hearing about. I'm like, guys, come on, leave me alone.
25:10
Slim Chino
Okay, so I. Apparently I range from being completely firm as a humanoid shape with varying levels of squishiness all the way to like liquefied puddle.
25:23
Starburst
So are you firm right now? Okay.
25:30
Slim Chino
I think. I think I can adjust my. Within reason. Adjust my.
25:36
Starry Eyes
Okay, okay.
25:37
Orbital Death Laser
Do you, like, melt into a little.
25:39
Slim Chino
Puddle when you're sad, when you sleep and when you're unconscious? I believe you are. Or when I sleep and I'm unconscious, I believe I will be a puddle.
25:47
Orbital Death Laser
Okay.
25:47
Slim Chino
But otherwise generally take a more human form when needed. And no, I'm not soggy. I'm not slimy.
25:57
Starry Eyes
Okay.
25:58
Slim Chino
I like to think it's like the equivalent of whatever humans showering and having good hygiene is the same for a plasmoid to be. Not slimy and goopy.
26:08
Orbital Death Laser
Okay.
26:09
Starburst
I too become goopy and wet when I sleep.
26:14
Orbital Death Laser
Okay.
26:16
Starry Eyes
Yeah.
26:18
Slim Chino
All right.
26:21
Starry Eyes
You see, there's a. Well, I don't know, stream. How do you react to seeing jam? I don't know. This might be like the first plasmoid you've ever seen.
26:30
Starburst
Stream looks at Xanan and goes, dude, there's a plasmoid over there. They got plasmoids here.
26:37
Sleeping Draugr
Yeah, just quit. It's like, look. Where?
26:40
Starburst
Over there with that big box.
26:43
Sleeping Draugr
Yeah. Squinting, not see. There's a really tall person, like standing by them.
26:53
Starry Eyes
You can definitely hear this person yelling about this in the distance.
26:57
Slim Chino
Oh, I'm. I'm tuned in. I'm. I'm listening. I'm learning. I'm holding back comments. I'm too employed for this.
27:09
Sleeping Draugr
Are plasmoid common? You hear, you think.
27:13
Starburst
What, Where.
27:14
Slim Chino
Where.
27:15
Sleeping Draugr
Where are we again?
27:15
Starburst
I don't even remember. I just kind of took that train and I just forgot. I just was like zoned out.
27:25
Sleeping Draugr
Yeah, Yep.
27:27
Starburst
Right.
27:28
Sleeping Draugr
No,.
27:31
Starry Eyes
Sorry. I can put it in the. In the chat.
27:33
Sleeping Draugr
Hanabanda. I just wrote it down incorrectly.
27:36
Starburst
Dream ghost. Dude, I lived in the woods until I was. I was at Bardford. Like, I lived in the woods. I don't know, anywhere.
27:42
Sleeping Draugr
So what's the application process like to bardvird from the woods.
27:46
Starburst
You know, I just kind of applied and I think they took me because I was really good at playing music. Like, you know, it's bardvird. Like they take the best bards and I guess I was just one of them. I think that's how it works. Is that how that works?
28:00
Starry Eyes
Starry? Something like that?
28:04
Starburst
That's bs.
28:09
Starry Eyes
You take that back. They said the line, oh, my gosh,.
28:13
Starburst
I'm gonna reference that constantly. You're never gonna hear the end of it.
28:20
Sleeping Draugr
I'm gonna write this down correctly this time.
28:22
Starry Eyes
Okay? Yeah, well, jam, you finish off dropping off the goods, and there's some other workers sort of helping you as they bring them inside and as you get things squared away. You do notice that you've seen a lot of musicians rolling up to this place today. And I mean, you've seen the banners. You know what's going on.
28:50
Slim Chino
I know what's going on. You know, it's. For all I know, I'm probably delivering whatever the equivalent is of XLR cables or something. You know, it's gotta be that. There's no. Nothing illegal, nothing strange.
29:08
Starry Eyes
Totally, totally.
29:10
Orbital Death Laser
Well,.
29:13
Starry Eyes
As you finish up, there is this. You know, one of the managers sort of rolls up. He's this tiefling guy, sort of gray skin, slicked back, black hair and a black button down with tight pants. And anyway, he goes to you and says, thank you for delivering this. Here is your payment. Roll me. I don't know, roll me some random dice.
30:02
Slim Chino
Whoa.
30:03
Starry Eyes
Just roll them all. Roll them all.
30:05
Slim Chino
That's nice. All right, I'm distracted by the dice.
30:07
Orbital Death Laser
The dice have kind of a Sonic quality to them for those who are not here.
30:11
Starry Eyes
Okay, so.
30:15
Orbital Death Laser
Like Sonic as in sound, not the hedgehog.
30:20
Starburst
I think you.
30:21
Starry Eyes
Okay, you got. Wait, reroll. Yeah, let me roll these. Sorry.
30:27
Starburst
I got told about Sonic and I. Whoa.
30:30
Orbital Death Laser
Ooh.
30:30
Starry Eyes
Okay, you have. You got 33 gold pieces.
30:36
Slim Chino
33 Gold pieces?
30:38
Orbital Death Laser
What is that in US dollars?
30:40
Starry Eyes
You get like two 17 silver pieces. And, and, and wait, three platinums. No platinum. You get.
30:51
Slim Chino
Wait, how many. How many silver?
30:52
Starry Eyes
You said 17 silver.
30:55
Slim Chino
17 Silver, which is worth a dollar. And. Or one.
31:03
Starry Eyes
Yeah.
31:03
Slim Chino
Okay, and then how many gold? 33.
31:05
Starry Eyes
Yeah.
31:05
Slim Chino
Oh, I gotta do math here. 40.
31:09
Starry Eyes
Oh, don't you have a slot for 48?
31:12
Slim Chino
There we go.
31:13
Starry Eyes
And. Oh, and you don't get any copper pieces. Instead, he pulls out these, like, three vouchers and he says, here, help yourself to a drink from the bar. So you got three bar coupons?
31:27
Slim Chino
Three?
31:28
Starry Eyes
You said three? Yes, Of Course, you know, they're only good at the casino.
31:37
Slim Chino
Of course.
31:42
Starburst
I'm like trying to look up like what the dnd like currency is equivalent to. And I saw one that said like one copper would be like equivalent to like a dollar.
31:55
Starry Eyes
I think that gold is worth a lot. You got. You rolled pretty well.
31:58
Slim Chino
Yeah, I got 50 gold.
32:00
Starry Eyes
Yeah. So you're you.
32:02
Slim Chino
Can I, Can I talk to the. Talk to the guy? Yeah, the slick back hair.
32:06
Starry Eyes
Yeah.
32:07
Slim Chino
Because I just wanted to mention I'm gonna. Thanks for the bar coupons. I'm gonna need a drink. I overheard some guys talking about they hadn't seen a. They had seen a plasmoid before. You know, I'm not the type to have hurt feelings, but I just got the. Got the vibe of like, if I were to bring anything up, they'd be like, oh, I got plasmoid friends. It's like, okay, man, like, I get it. I'm goopy, I'm green, but like, I'm chill like that. So I don't know, maybe if I run into them again, I'll try to give them a good impression of plasmoids. I'll give them drinks too.
32:44
Starry Eyes
But the manager sort of nods yes. I know what that's like, being a tiefling and all. Well, please feel free to relax here as long as you like. There's plenty to do here at the Embergarden.
33:04
Starburst
Oh yeah, I have to make it gnome that like. Gnome.
33:08
Orbital Death Laser
Okay.
33:09
Starburst
Gnome that. Stream isn't being like discriminatory. I just don't think stream has ever seen a plasmoid.
33:16
Starry Eyes
No, totally. Totally.
33:18
Starburst
And there's not like a real world equivalent to this. Like, you don't just go around.
33:22
Orbital Death Laser
They don't like that. They don't admit plasmoids at Bardvard.
33:27
Starry Eyes
I do think they're just extremely rare.
33:29
Starburst
Yeah, it's like you don't go like, there's no real world equivalent to this. It's like if you saw a werewolf, that's like, dude, that's a werewolf.
33:38
Starry Eyes
You.
33:39
Starburst
You don't just do that because there's no people in real life that are just rare.
33:43
Orbital Death Laser
You're just a simple they from the woods. You've ever seen a guy made out of plasma?
33:49
Starburst
I've never seen a guy made out of plasma. I'm a simple he they from the woods.
33:52
Slim Chino
I'm realizing maybe this is a bad thing for me to be role playing a minority as a white man, as A white guy, like, hey,
34:01
Orbital Death Laser
You know, it's D&D.
34:04
Slim Chino
Well, you know, let's say I travel to some other country where it's not mostly white people. Then I'd be a minority and it's the same thing. It's like traveling, but in your mind.
34:13
Sleeping Draugr
We have to go to the plasma place.
34:14
Starburst
Yeah, yeah, the plasmoid place. Do they have one of those in Fantasia?
34:19
Starry Eyes
There's somewhere. Somewhere.
34:20
Slim Chino
I feel like somewhere. Hold on, let me look at the name of the place. I feel like Con Abbando.
34:27
Slim Chino
Sorry. I think I'm low key dyslexic, so I'm struggling. Con Abbando is the type of place that would have like a. A plasmoid brothel. I'm just imagining like shady activity. Like casino.
34:40
Starry Eyes
Oh yeah.
34:41
Slim Chino
Like I gotta watch my back and not get trafficked.
34:43
Starry Eyes
Oh yeah, no, there's. The promenade is very nice, but off of the promenade it definitely gets kind of sketchy. Well, you have coupons for the bar.
34:55
Slim Chino
Huge.
34:56
Starry Eyes
And anyway, Stream and. And sorry, Zannin, I guess do you two head inside or do you stick outside?
35:06
Sleeping Draugr
Head inside, I think.
35:08
Starburst
Yeah, I'm gonna head inside.
35:10
Starry Eyes
Cool. So Zannin and Stream, you head inside of the casino and immediately you hear the sound of clapping and cheering and. And you will notice a small stage to the left by the main bar where there's people drinking at High Tops and Low Tops and they're enjoying a show. There's a big sign painted with red text that reads Lemoosha, the fire breather.
35:48
Sleeping Draugr
I can do that.
35:50
Starry Eyes
On stage, dressed in black, pink and gold. There's the sudden Golden Dragonborn, currently juggling flaming hot coals while balancing a sword on her snout. And behind her, at the back of the stage, not very well lit, is the guitarist who is just sort of accompanying the performance. Fizz. Do you want to describe yourself?
36:16
Orbital Death Laser
Yes. So Fizz is. Is a 311 and a half Kenku. He weighs no more than 100 pounds. He is quite a little guy, but you might say that he. He takes on some airs. A little bit bigger than he really is. He works for the casino in many forms. Whatever they need him to do, he will do it without question. And today his role is first and foremost to support all of the incredible people who have come to display their talents today. And he is not to draw too much attention, only to dance and play instruments and sing to the best of his ability in order to make these performers just look that much better, shine that much more. You know what have you little politeness like that. He's just a little guy. He's Wearing a suit. He, he's got a big guitar.
37:12
Orbital Death Laser
Well, big for a 3 foot 11 and a half, 100 pound bird guy. And he's also balancing himself up by a little like walking stick type deal. But it's kind of like fancy and steampunk so you know, get the vibe.
37:31
Starry Eyes
Amazing.
37:32
Orbital Death Laser
But yeah, he's kind of just like off in his own little world planning the song. He's, he's seen so many of these performances like it doesn't really impress him to see this giant dragon woman breathing fire.
37:47
Starry Eyes
Oh yeah.
37:47
Orbital Death Laser
Balancing a sword on her snout or anything like that.
37:50
Starry Eyes
We're here every day.
37:51
Orbital Death Laser
He's just ready to have something else to do besides play the guitar. Because this is like the 11th act today. Yes.
38:03
Starry Eyes
Well, Stream and Xanon, you see this as you enter in. And besides this, you also see that there's signage pointing you towards the sign up table for the auditions as well. And, and of course Jam, you're welcome to wander in whenever you like as well.
38:26
Slim Chino
Oh yeah. I mean, I'll wander in. I want to drink.
38:29
Starry Eyes
Yeah. Hell yeah. Okay, you wander in, you also see the performance on stage then. And, and as you head to the bar, you do pass by the half elf that was yelling about seeing a pause point. Stream.
38:51
Slim Chino
I don't know, can I just look at Stream like just a side eye in passing. Can we make eye contact?
39:05
Sleeping Draugr
Stream just sees this.
39:06
Slim Chino
It doesn't have anything. Oh, sorry.
39:09
Starburst
I'm like reading a list of Wikipedia or I'm like reading a list of Weezer songs right now because I've gotta make like random references.
39:22
Starry Eyes
Okay, well the jam makes the side eye and there is eye contact. Yeah, there is, there is.
39:32
Orbital Death Laser
I feel like Fizz would notice that because he's very people savvy. Like, and in order to kind of like dissociate and just become the guitar, he has just kind of been people watching all along. And you know, not too many plasmoids are rocking up to this side of town. Especially not one that looks so shady. Honestly, like, not really sure what that.
39:55
Starry Eyes
Guy was doing before.
39:57
Starburst
You can't say that.
40:00
Orbital Death Laser
Hey, I work around a lot of sketchy characters at the casino. Okay. Takes one to know one. And you know, that was a pretty bombastic side eye if I do say so myself. So I do wonder what that little elf had to say. That might have. That might have set them off.
40:15
Starburst
Don't call me a little elf. I'm not little.
40:20
Sleeping Draugr
You're not an elf.
40:21
Starburst
I'm five six.
40:22
Orbital Death Laser
Yeah, you're actually like twice my height almost. Yeah.
40:26
Starburst
Literally,. You're tiny. And I'm five six. I tower over you.
40:33
Orbital Death Laser
It's tiny. Like, age wise. Because Fizz is, like, middle aged.
40:38
Sleeping Draugr
Awesome.
40:38
Orbital Death Laser
He's old.
40:39
Starburst
I tower over you.
40:41
Orbital Death Laser
Mm.
40:41
Starburst
Stream, Zannin, Jam.
40:45
Starry Eyes
Roll Perception. Romy Perception. For fun. For funsies. Do you need a D20? You roll a D20.
40:55
Slim Chino
Whoa.
40:56
Starry Eyes
Oh, that one has a penguin.
40:57
Sleeping Draugr
I've gotten a five.
40:59
Orbital Death Laser
Wow.
41:00
Slim Chino
Three.
41:02
Starry Eyes
Okay. You add your wisdom modifier to it, but a 3 is pretty low, so.
41:06
Slim Chino
Yeah,.
41:12
Starburst
There's no natural 100.
41:14
Starry Eyes
Okay. No one. You rolled. What did you wrote?
41:16
Slim Chino
A five.
41:17
Starburst
Five.
41:17
Starry Eyes
And then you rolled like, an eight.
41:18
Starburst
I rolled a seven.
41:19
Starry Eyes
Okay.
41:20
Starburst
Yeah, well, an eight, I guess, because of the plus one.
41:22
Starry Eyes
Anyways, none of y' all notice Fizz sort of like looking. Looking over, clocking.
41:32
Sleeping Draugr
Well, in that case, I would like to go over to that signup sheet and put my name down.
41:38
Starry Eyes
Totally. You head on over to the signup table, and there, you see that there is this gnome. The first thing you notice about him is he smells very, very, very strongly of cologne. Too much cologne. The thick woody fumes hang dead in the air around him. You could smell it from, like a mile away. And his greaseback hair is dyed a stark, bright blue. He's got this round little belly that's buttoned up beneath a gray vest, and he has this gold chain connecting to his pocket watch. And he's checking it rather often, but he's sort of standing in front of the signup table, and there's a. There's a bit of a line with, like, different solo accents. Bands sort of waiting to get their chance to sign the sheet, but it's not too long.
42:30
Starry Eyes
And anyways, this gnome character who seems like he's kind of running things potentially. I mean, Fizz, you know him, he's around here. He's like the performance manager. Anyways, he says yes.
42:46
Orbital Death Laser
Step right up.
42:47
Starry Eyes
Step right up to sign up for. For the auditions for the Dodger World Music Competition here at the Ember Garden. You, you there with. What is that?
43:02
Orbital Death Laser
This.
43:03
Sleeping Draugr
I'm so glad you asked. This is my instrument. And I'm trying to keep, like, an arm's distance from him because I do think with all that cologne, he is a fire risk. And I'm emitting embers.
43:14
Slim Chino
Lots of oils, right?
43:16
Sleeping Draugr
I tell him, like, well, this is my instrument.
43:20
Starry Eyes
Your instrument? Interesting. Never seen such a thing before.
43:25
Sleeping Draugr
Well, you'll want to keep your eyes out. I promise you this is going to be a performance no one will forget.
43:30
Starry Eyes
He checks his pocket watch and then looks back to you. Well, anyway, yeah. What's your name?
43:40
Sleeping Draugr
Zannin Baltech. Put her there. Wait, no, actually don't.
43:47
Starry Eyes
He goes to, like I said, in his hand and then he kind of like looks at his hand and then shrugs. Oh, and well. Oh, you're with this gentleman. You're in a band together?
44:01
Sleeping Draugr
We're not really.
44:02
Slim Chino
Not really, no.
44:04
Starburst
Hey, I'm Stream.
44:07
Starry Eyes
Hello, I'm Jorkas. Jorkas. Loudbeck. Yes, Jorkas. I am the performance manager here. Oh, looks like there's the. The line cleared up. If you wish to go sign up.
44:25
Starburst
Well, I'll see you later, Zannin. And Stream just walks away. Stream goes through the line.
44:32
Starry Eyes
Did you sign up at least?
44:33
Starburst
I'm going over to sign up.
44:34
Starry Eyes
Okay, okay.
44:35
Starburst
I was.
44:35
Slim Chino
Wait.
44:35
Starburst
I was waiting for the line to clear up.
44:37
Starry Eyes
Yeah, yeah. You head over to sign up. It's pretty straightforward. You just like write down the name that you go by. Honestly, I think. I don't think there's really much else to it besides that.
44:48
Starburst
Write down the name.
44:49
Starry Eyes
Stream. Stream. Amazing. I assume Zannin follows through.
44:57
Sleeping Draugr
Yeah, I will also sign up.
44:59
Starry Eyes
Awesome. Amazing. As you two are doing this jam, you head over to the bottom bar and it's like a really long bar made out of this nice dark shiny wood. There's different. Different guests sort of hanging out here. Yeah, I don't know, I think it would be funny if. I don't know, Orbital Death Laser, if. Do you think that Fizz just sort of like teleports there?
45:37
Orbital Death Laser
I think that, you know, it's been a couple of performances in a row. They're like, okay, you can go do something else. Like go wait some tables. Man, the bar is pretty full. Like, what are you doing? Why are you so lazy? Like, can you. Can you like go pull your weight around here? And. And he's just like, okay, yeah, I will. And he hops down off the stage. It's really big. He's got to make a big jump. And he falls. He falls on his little bird feet and he kind of like waddles toward the bar and you know, he. He puts on like a little. A little fancy apron and just gets like cleaning some glass and just like looking at all the various people.
46:20
Orbital Death Laser
If he wants to wait a table because he's so short, he has to hop up on a little stool to make eye contact.
46:29
Starry Eyes
Cute.
46:31
Starburst
You can't just call a short person cute.
46:35
Starry Eyes
It's a little. Little bird, dude.
46:36
Orbital Death Laser
He's a little bird. He's a little bird with pink eyes. Isn't he cute? Yeah.
46:42
Starry Eyes
Well, jam. You roll up to the bar and I don't know, Fizz. You see, there's a customer that hasn't been helped yet.
46:53
Orbital Death Laser
Okay. I pushed the stool over to where this plasmoid guy is, and I hop up on the stool and I'm like, hello there. What can I get you?
47:05
Slim Chino
Hey, I've got a drink ticket I got, and I'd love to redeem it for something. What's any daily specials? Anything good on the menu?
47:16
Orbital Death Laser
Oh, well. Well, let's see. Are you here as a performer or are you just here as a guest?
47:21
Slim Chino
Oh, I hadn't really thought about that. I was just kind of here for work. But I see all these performances going on. It's kind of cool.
47:29
Orbital Death Laser
Well, here, let me just. Let me just make you something really quick. And I take the voucher and I like, just look at it really quick just to make sure that it's legit. It has the manager's signature on it, the tiefling guy. And I recognized that instantly. So I just. I just set it down. I'm like, he's always giving people drink vouchers so I don't have to get paid. And I throw a couple of things in, like a little mixing apparatus. I don't know what the word is, but. Oh, a cocktail shaker. Yeah. So I do that, pour it over some ice, throw some. Some beautiful sparkly glitter, and I hand it back to you, and it's like this golden, sparkly beverage, like, glitter in it, and it's got like a nice little, like, fruit accoutrement on top. That's good.
48:22
Slim Chino
That's good. This is. This is what I was looking for. I like that. It has glitter. Yeah, it's shiny.
48:28
Orbital Death Laser
It's supposed to represent the fantasy of all the people who are here today, if you can believe it. I mean, look around you to your left and right. Right. There's lots of stars and celebrities. He sounds very unimpressed.
48:42
Slim Chino
Lots of people that haven't seen plasmoids before.
48:47
Orbital Death Laser
Oh, I'm sure. Yeah. In the desert, we get lots of folks from all across the world. And, you know, sometimes people from smaller towns tend to roll up and they don't know nothing about this world.
48:58
Slim Chino
You know, I'm used to it as a moid. It's so tricky.
49:02
Starburst
Don't call yourself a moid.
49:05
Slim Chino
That's Short for plasmoid. That's short for only I can say that.
49:12
Starry Eyes
On this lore. We're okay.
49:15
Orbital Death Laser
I reach out a clawed hand indicating that I would like to shake your hand.
49:20
Slim Chino
Yeah, I'll shake your hand. But don't worry, I'm not slimy.
49:24
Orbital Death Laser
Oh, I'm sure. And I shake your hand. Hand. My name's Fizz. Well, that's my. That's my common name. My real name is. And then I make the sound of a pop. Bottle of champagne. You know, we. We Kenku, communicate more primarily through sound. So having. Having to speak in words, it's. It was a little unusual at first, but I got used to it.
49:53
Slim Chino
Oh, that's. That's neat. Yeah. My name's Shmoop. Jam. You can call me Jam or Shmoop or something else. I don't really care.
50:02
Orbital Death Laser
Jam. Okay, Jam.
50:03
Slim Chino
Jam works. Jam works. It's easy.
50:05
Orbital Death Laser
Mm. Well, what brings you about these parts?
50:09
Slim Chino
Oh, you know, yeah, just shipping, moving things, deliveries.
50:16
Orbital Death Laser
Okay. That explains how you got the manager's signature, I suppose.
50:20
Slim Chino
Yeah, yeah.
50:21
Orbital Death Laser
You know him? Is this your first time?
50:23
Slim Chino
This is my. This is. I think we've met in passing before. This is my first time. I didn't really know that were going to be working together prior to the engagement, but you know, it worked out. Seems chill.
50:36
Orbital Death Laser
Well, I.
50:39
Slim Chino
Oh, you have. You have thoughts. You have thoughts about the manager? I need to know.
50:42
Orbital Death Laser
I'm not allowed to discuss these matters, unfortunately.
50:45
Slim Chino
Can I. Can I slide you one silver piece and be like, how about now?

Orbital Death Laser
It's gonna need to be a lot more than that, kid.
50:54
Slim Chino
Well, consider it a tip then. For the drink.
50:57
Orbital Death Laser
Alright, well, I appreciate that you're the first to be so kind to me today. Usually I'm not allowed to draw too much attention to myself, so I'd better go attend to some other customers. Alright. Okay, I'll be around.
51:08
Slim Chino
Good luck.
51:09
Orbital Death Laser
And then I hop off the stool and I go clean some things and attend to other people. You know, bartender things.
51:17
Starry Eyes
Totally. Yeah. Well, we'll jump back to Zannin and Stream. You both finished signing up for auditions and yeah, Jorkas, I don't know, after you finish signing up, he's like, well, this is so very exciting. He checks his pocket watch. Unfortunately, the judge hasn't arrived yet. He's supposed to arrive like a few hours ago, but when he does, we'll be sure to get things started. And he nods and stream nods.
52:03
Sleeping Draugr
Next time he checks his pocket watch. I want to see if I can also check his pocket watch.
52:11
Starburst
Why are you trying to check his pocket watch?
52:12
Sleeping Draugr
I don't have a clock. I don't know what time it is.
52:15
Starry Eyes
He. He does. He does check it briefly after. Yeah. You don't have high passive perception, right?
52:21
Sleeping Draugr
No, it's pretty bad.
52:24
Starry Eyes
Yeah. Give me perception check then. I mean, either. Either that, or you could just ask.
52:31
Slim Chino
What time it is.
52:32
Starry Eyes
You could also do a deception check if you want.
52:34
Sleeping Draugr
Oh, so I rolled. So I rolled a one.
52:38
Starry Eyes
Okay. You do start, like, peering over.
52:41
Sleeping Draugr
I lean a little bit too far.
52:46
Starburst
Can I roll a perception check to try and gather what Zannin is doing?
52:52
Starry Eyes
Honestly, I just leave that up to you if you know what he's doing or not.
52:59
Starburst
I'm going to roll a perception check. Just to make sure. Yeah, I got a. I got an 18.
53:04
Orbital Death Laser
Okay. All right. Yeah, you see. Yeah, you see?
53:06
Sleeping Draugr
So you can see the time.
53:07
Starburst
No, no, I'm trying to figure out.
53:09
Starry Eyes
What you're doing, Zannin. You lean over and you're leaning over a little too close, and you were right. So like, A tuft of, like, his hair kind of ignites, but he doesn't notice it.
53:32
Sleeping Draugr
Stream says.
53:32
Starburst
So the stream says, hey, York, what time it is? It.
53:37
Starry Eyes
Oh, it's. It's. Let's see. 2:37. Sorry, it's. It's 237.
53:47
Starburst
For those just, like, watching, like, Zannin, like, reach over to this guy.
53:51
Sleeping Draugr
And, like, cross, like, just for all the audio listeners out there, Zannin is, like, carefully reaching over the head just like. Just like the. The candle. Candle pitch.
54:07
Starry Eyes
Oh, man. Give me. Give me sleight of hand.
54:09
Sleeping Draugr
Sleight of hand. I'm gonna use a. I'm gonna use a different dice. I'm a little bit better at sleight of hand. Okay. I've rolled a 19.
54:19
Starry Eyes
Okay.
54:19
Starburst
Oh, my God.
54:20
Starry Eyes
You're lucky. Jorkas doesn't notice at all.
54:23
Starburst
Wait, is his name York or Jorkas?
54:27
Starry Eyes
Jorkas. Jorkas. Loudbeck.
54:29
Starburst
Okay, so I was right in calling him York.
54:31
Starry Eyes
Yeah. Yeah, I guess so.
54:35
Starburst
I guess I'm just gonna short people's names down. Like, I'm playing as, like, the most nonchalant character ever. Nonchalant character. When they meet. Shallant character.
54:46
Starry Eyes
Well, you. You avoid a catastrophe. And now you know that it's 2:37.
54:51
Sleeping Draugr
2:37. Okay. Plenty of daylight left. We're fine.
54:58
Starry Eyes
