[SPEAKER_05]: 30 something D&D is a podcast with adult themes suitable for a mature audience.
[SPEAKER_05]: Information about content warnings can be found in the episode description.
[SPEAKER_05]: Welcome to 30 something D&D, a podcast where 430 somethings gather around microphones and play dungeons and dragons.
[SPEAKER_05]: For those of you who are unaware of what dungeons and dragons is, it's a role playing game where players form a band of adventurers and through their choices help make a collaborative story.
[SPEAKER_05]: Each character created by the players has a stat sheet of what they're good at and what they're bad at and when we need a result of an action we roll a dice to see what happens.
[SPEAKER_05]: The game is run by Dungeon Master or DM, and their job is to oversee the storytelling process and provide context to the players.
[SPEAKER_05]: So sit back and relax and listen to the legend of LongTar.
[SPEAKER_05]: My name is Jamie.
[SPEAKER_05]: I am the DM.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is a home-brewed story for those of you who don't know, it's not an official story from with the co-sufford from Dungeon Dragons.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's something that I've come up with all of my nonsense.
[SPEAKER_05]: So, for those of you who are rules lawyers and like being D&D to the exact number in the rulebook, you're going to be sharp and disappointed because D&D very loosely, we're telling story and using Dungeon Dragons as the kind of locomotive engine to get us there.
[SPEAKER_05]: To my right is Christopher Maxwell.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you are playing, I am playing a ranger.
[SPEAKER_05]: And directly opposite me is Hannah Kellin.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you are playing a fighter.
[SPEAKER_05]: To my left is yes, Jake Francis.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I play a druid level two road level one, which in case anyone is unaware, is a multi-class.
[SPEAKER_05]: Multi-classing straight off the bat you brave brave soul.
[SPEAKER_05]: The city of Longtar is located in the middle of a harsh wasteland, a brutal landscape which was the result of a ferocious war a thousand years ago.
[SPEAKER_05]: The city itself sits in a crater made when a meteor hit the very top of a mountain.
[SPEAKER_05]: Legend tells of three powerful dragons and the tribes that worship them met at this crater and struck a truce to stop the endless bloodshed of war.
[SPEAKER_05]: The three spires that thrust into the sky from the city remind all who lived there of the deal that was made.
[SPEAKER_05]: Each one adorned with a massive statue wrapping around the architecture one for each dragon.
[SPEAKER_05]: Remnants of the meteor are now mined, and these fragments have caused accelerated industry over the years, resulting in long-tah becoming a hub of trade, education, and innovation, despite the harsh surroundings.
[SPEAKER_05]: While the true still holds, it has grown shaky, and while there is no war, rampant crime has taken its place.
[SPEAKER_05]: You can make a name for yourself in this city, but you must ask yourself, what would it cost?
[SPEAKER_05]: So we start our story in the slums of long-term where people have fallen on hard times, but they make their way as and however they choose, however they can.
[SPEAKER_05]: A lot of people don't legally, a lot of people do it illegally and we find ourselves in a market square and you just hear the solid boot steps of a rugged ranger and this is.
[SPEAKER_06]: Howdy, all my name is Dylan Brody.
[SPEAKER_06]: I have been running around this city here for a long time.
[SPEAKER_06]: I was a leader of a group called The Runners, and we did a lot of very, very fun things.
[SPEAKER_06]: I say fun, some people won't find it very fun or legal, but then illegal stuff is very fun in my opinion.
[SPEAKER_06]: or some Chris, can you just describe what Dylan looks like?
[SPEAKER_06]: Certainly.
[SPEAKER_06]: Dylan is wearing a large brown leathery puncture.
[SPEAKER_06]: He has a what could have actually been described as a cowboy hat.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's grown in quite a thick beard, a red beard, with long, very, very shaggy, very dirty hair.
[SPEAKER_06]: He doesn't look to have washed in quite some time.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's wearing boots, some leather slacks.
[SPEAKER_06]: And underneath, he is wearing something sort of protective,
[SPEAKER_06]: a armour plate just across his chest and then just a thin cloth shirt.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, and are you armed?
[SPEAKER_06]: I am, but hidden away in my slacks is a revolver.
[SPEAKER_06]: I also have a whip which is attached to the left side of my hip and five bullets.
[SPEAKER_05]: You have, like you said, you are a member of the runners, you are the last remaining member of the runners.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you've tried to...
[SPEAKER_05]: kind of reinvigorating, recreate the runners, which is like a mercenary band, did you say?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, we are essentially a group of smugglers.
[SPEAKER_06]: The runners in Mois just to get as much work as we can.
[SPEAKER_06]: We do a lot of running outside the city of Longta at beyond the walls into when it believes the wasteland.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, yes, into the wasteland.
[SPEAKER_06]: That was the M of the runnance very quick, very efficient, get shit done.
[SPEAKER_05]: But you haven't had much luck in recreating them, you've tried hiring a couple of mercenaries, but they, you know, for what one reason or other, it's just kind of flaked out, not, not happened.
[SPEAKER_05]: So you're on your own, sir.
[SPEAKER_05]: However, you have accepted a job from a local fixer called Layton Buzz.
[SPEAKER_05]: They are, you're going through an intermediary, basically, from someone else who has hired you, that you don't know the name of.
[SPEAKER_05]: You accepted this job on the premise that you have other members of the runners.
[SPEAKER_05]: So you kind of kind of told a little white lie there just to get the job, but you know, you need it.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you've been told to, for the job, you need to pick up a custom order from a local smithy.
[SPEAKER_05]: You also got all these jobs are given in code, just in case local law enforcement.
[SPEAKER_05]: And there is law enforcement and they are pretty ruthless.
[SPEAKER_05]: So the job is given in code.
[SPEAKER_05]: And the code that you've been given, I don't know if you want to write this down, is
[SPEAKER_05]: 9, 3, out, dash, section 9, dash, b, 3, 8.
[SPEAKER_05]: So that's all you know about this, this job and that that will be the location you would like.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is the location here's the details and you've been told that your contact pick up this custom order is someone called Briny Iron Blue and you have to find the war maker.
[SPEAKER_06]: I think they're handy.
[SPEAKER_05]: So you're making your way around and you, it's quite busy in this, in the square.
[SPEAKER_05]: You're used to bail midday.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's a couple of local law enforcement and they're just kind of giving you some side eye.
[SPEAKER_05]: Can you make a perception check for me please?
[SPEAKER_05]: The first role of the campaign is going to be a lie.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's going to be a lie.
[SPEAKER_05]: All right.
[SPEAKER_05]: What is a perception check?
[SPEAKER_06]: Hang on, check my, my states on this one.
[SPEAKER_05]: I've put this out now, the Chris has picked up the smallest dice I've ever seen.
[SPEAKER_05]: They are very fancy.
[SPEAKER_05]: They are absolutely tiny.
[SPEAKER_06]: Brand new brass dice that came in a pocket watch.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're like one centimeter a quarter.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, they absolutely is like this.
[SPEAKER_05]: Is there any 20?
[SPEAKER_05]: Does he 20?
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh damn, we are starting strong.
[SPEAKER_06]: Down and do it in 20.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, so as you see the law enforcement and you look at their eye line, you're like, they're not actually looking at me and you turn slightly.
[SPEAKER_05]: and you see they're actually looking at a group of other roughions, shall we call them, and you recognise their outfit there.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's a kind of uniform, and you recognise there, it's the kind of the uniform of the dealers' hand, the runners' rival gang.
[SPEAKER_05]: uh that have in the past stolen jobs from you and they are a little little underhanded even for you or uh even you're in your eyes.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're kind of your stuck right in between law and the dealer's hand.
[SPEAKER_05]: What do you do?
[SPEAKER_06]: Dylan sort of checks up the Lord.
[SPEAKER_06]: They're definitely not looking at him have the dealer's hand and notice Dylan.
[SPEAKER_05]: So they are looking in your direction but you can't quite tell whether they're looking at you or
[SPEAKER_05]: or the fuzz.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't need no trouble the day.
[SPEAKER_06]: And Dylan just sort of starts heading in the direction of the war making, you'll know where the war make it is now.
[SPEAKER_06]: Make a survival check.
[SPEAKER_05]: Let's just see, see if you know where you're going.
[SPEAKER_06]: You're on.
[SPEAKER_06]: Have you got a one?
[SPEAKER_06]: Natural 20.
[SPEAKER_06]: Son of a bitch.
[SPEAKER_06]: I know this city like the back of my hand.
[SPEAKER_06]: Trust me, I know with the back of my hand.
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh, oh, you're sobbing bells, straight on me.
[SPEAKER_05]: Can we do it a little side thing for people who don't know D&D.
[SPEAKER_05]: When we say natural 20, that means you rolled a D20 and got a 20 which is the best result.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, if you get a dirty tiny as we call it, that's where you roll the d20 and your modifier, whatever that is, makes the number of 20, but you didn't literally roll the 20.
[SPEAKER_05]: With a natural 20 on survival, you look to the left and the warmaker's right there.
[SPEAKER_05]: I in that communion.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm just gonna glance around and see those boys again.
[SPEAKER_06]: They haven't noticed me, and I think they don't think they've noticed you.
[SPEAKER_06]: They don't think they've noticed me.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm just gonna walk my way, which the warmaker will keep in a slatter on the dealer's hand.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, all right, awesome.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you make it to the warmaker, and it's kind of carved into it.
[SPEAKER_05]: So just to give you an idea of the city itself, it is fucking huge for anyone who knows one of the 40,000, it's like a hive city.
[SPEAKER_05]: It is circular and it just goes up in towers, but it's set in the crater of where a meteor hit mountain and it goes deep underground into the mines and then society kind of gets richer and posture as you go up and it ends in three spires which are run by three crime syndicates essentially.
[SPEAKER_05]: and you are down in the slums.
[SPEAKER_05]: But yeah, that's the kind of look of it.
[SPEAKER_05]: But this city is massive.
[SPEAKER_05]: Just the slums you can be walking around for days.
[SPEAKER_05]: Boy or boy.
[SPEAKER_05]: Hey, there's my lucky day.
[SPEAKER_05]: I have such a clear image of Dylan in my head right now.
[SPEAKER_05]: I was brilliant.
[SPEAKER_05]: Do you walk in there?
[SPEAKER_05]: And there are three figures surrounded by weapons and armaments and a tiny figure runs past your feet.
[SPEAKER_05]: And that is Jake, can you please introduce your character?
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh no, my time has come.
[SPEAKER_05]: So I am playing a goblin called Marlock to most people.
[SPEAKER_05]: He is a peculiar sounding goblin and a curious case on nature, this is nurture.
[SPEAKER_05]: He has kind of very plain leather armour on.
[SPEAKER_05]: He has deep red eyes and a short black hair, but he's often wearing like a hood.
[SPEAKER_05]: He does not want to be perceived.
[SPEAKER_05]: So, he very much just wants to blend in.
[SPEAKER_05]: So your eyes kind of follow this figure darting by your legs.
[SPEAKER_05]: Your gaze goes up and sees a very young drill.
[SPEAKER_05]: Hannah, can you please introduce your character?
[SPEAKER_03]: Say, I play Shin Ray, Eden Valle, Warmaker.
[SPEAKER_03]: Shin is probably around 17 years old in human years.
[SPEAKER_03]: She's very happy to help.
[SPEAKER_03]: Here are the people, fighter, drowl.
[SPEAKER_03]: And she works at the Warmaker, crafting weapons, armor, and war gear for adventurers and mercenaries.
[SPEAKER_03]: And just add some more context.
[SPEAKER_03]: The Warmaker is owned by her mother, Eden, and Velmarra.
[SPEAKER_03]: Sheen is around five foot eight not what you'd kind of stereotypically associate I think with a fighter, but that's because she is quite young.
[SPEAKER_03]: She's got a mighty fine calves though I just want to know it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mighty fine calves.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, she's got some good baby cows go
[SPEAKER_03]: She has lavender purple skin, sort of white silver hair, numerous piercing in her ears, and a very sort of steam punk grunge look that's meshed with chain mailed scraps and leather.
[SPEAKER_03]: She always wears a tool belt for the things in case there's any on-the-go repairs, and always carries a bag around with her at all times.
[SPEAKER_05]: Lovely, thank you very much, and the third that you see in the Theormaker is a harfling who looks about as homely as you can possibly kind of imagine, but also strap a blacksmith's apron onto her and she just kind of looks up at you.
[SPEAKER_05]: Take something out of the way of running Malok before
[SPEAKER_04]: Alright then.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, you got a customer, hello?
[SPEAKER_04]: How's it going?
[SPEAKER_06]: Can I help you?
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh, yes, if you wouldn't mind, uh, I am looking for a briny.
[SPEAKER_06]: I am blue.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, you just found her!
[SPEAKER_06]: What did I do you for?
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, it just so happens that I'm here on behalf of a certain leaking birds.
[SPEAKER_05]: As soon as that name leaves your mouth, briny instantly kind of looks around and pushes a button underneath the, uh, underneath the desk that she's working at, and the shot is just going to be...
[SPEAKER_05]: and she just leans in.
[SPEAKER_06]: Go on, see here's a thing.
[SPEAKER_06]: I have a job I need to do and uh well I was told that you were the person I need to get to and uh well it just so happens that I'm uh
[SPEAKER_06]: kind of short of few allies as it were.
[SPEAKER_06]: With everyone make a perception check for me.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I was gonna ask am I listening to all of this?
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm kind of, yeah, are you listening?
[SPEAKER_05]: What are you guys doing?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I've totally gone into some sort of rafters and I'm not going to open the ceiling.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, you've dropped in.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm dropping.
[SPEAKER_05]: So everyone make a perception check, please.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's all.
[SPEAKER_05]: That one, guys.
[SPEAKER_03]: How have we got a net one and a net 20?
[SPEAKER_03]: So, see if we can do it earlier on in the game.
[SPEAKER_05]: I get myself a 14.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've got a 13.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: So, Marlock, you're up in the rafters and completely distracted by a spider.
[SPEAKER_05]: That is just crawling along.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you're like trying to make friends with the spider.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Uh, shin and
[SPEAKER_05]: I was like, Adrian, Adrian Brody, that's not right.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not right.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's not right.
[SPEAKER_05]: Dylan, Dylan Brody.
[SPEAKER_05]: Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, not Adrian.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you both noticed that Brittany has only got one hand on the top of the counter.
[SPEAKER_05]: The other one is underneath.
[SPEAKER_05]: And Shin, you know what is kept underneath there.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: And it goes boom.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: But she is she's looking you and smiling and she looks absolutely pleasant and delightful, but you notice that there's only one hand on the counter.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, so I've been sent here to try and find if you help in hands, is it worth it?
[SPEAKER_06]: Perhaps you could help me, yeah?
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe you could use that to land right there to help me out.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know what I'm saying?
[SPEAKER_06]: Pointing right at that hand and at the disc.
[SPEAKER_05]: I appreciate the candor, and you just hear it as something is uncocks, and she brings a hand up.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, I understand, late in the scent you ear to pick something up.
[SPEAKER_05]: I've made three of what he requested, but it's just the one of you.
[SPEAKER_05]: Er, yes it is.
[SPEAKER_05]: Do you know the job that you're going for all?
[SPEAKER_05]: I know that much information, but I know it's not a one-person job.
[SPEAKER_06]: acquiescing for some assistance as it were.
[SPEAKER_06]: Listen, I don't get all the details.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm very much as sort of give me what I need to do and I'll get it done and details that comes a bit later on.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, you might have heard of me.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm a Daubin Brody, leader of the runners.
[SPEAKER_06]: There was the blankest stab that made you back.
[SPEAKER_06]: Really?
[SPEAKER_06]: You ain't never heard of the runners.
[SPEAKER_06]: Run around long-tower, be on the walls.
[SPEAKER_06]: You go beyond the walls.
[SPEAKER_06]: That I do, and what is your name?
[SPEAKER_03]: Hi, I'm Shen.
[SPEAKER_06]: Shen, it is nice to meet you, Shen.
[SPEAKER_06]: And well, yes, I've historically got to be on the walls, and I've done a few, well, let's just say a little bit of business, as it were.
[SPEAKER_06]: But I'm here to just do a little bit of this business.
[SPEAKER_06]: So yeah, I'm not too savvy on the details, they're brandy.
[SPEAKER_06]: So what exactly am I handling right now?
[SPEAKER_05]: Which kind of looks you up and down.
[SPEAKER_05]: just reaches a hand below the cabinet again, below the desk.
[SPEAKER_06]: I know things might not look very good right now, but I promise you, I need to mess around.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm just looking for a job.
[SPEAKER_06]: And that's what this is.
[SPEAKER_06]: Good old fashioned business, Bernie.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you for your persuasion, Jack.
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like you need to roll perception to see how he does.
[SPEAKER_03]: So small.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's like, he's trying me.
[SPEAKER_05]: To the listeners here.
[SPEAKER_05]: He's like squinting.
[SPEAKER_05]: He has his hand over the light.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's like, there he is.
[SPEAKER_05]: Your numbers aren't painted in either.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's just like a dark shape.
[SPEAKER_06]: 17.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a very good dice.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a great idea.
[SPEAKER_05]: What?
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm your sacrifice, my vision.
[SPEAKER_05]: If it means I get shit done.
[SPEAKER_05]: I appreciate someone trying to make their way in this life.
[SPEAKER_05]: Let's just say you're lucky that these have been pre-paid for, I'll go and get them back in a minute and she kind of trundles off into the into the back room, leaving you three in the same room.
[SPEAKER_02]: What's it like?
[SPEAKER_02]: What?
[SPEAKER_05]: Beyond what?
[SPEAKER_02]: Beyond what?
[SPEAKER_05]: Ooh, Jamie, can I listen at this point down?
[SPEAKER_04]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, yeah, let's say the spider is kind of disced into her.
[SPEAKER_05]: So, uh, unbeknownst to the other two, I'm just poking my head out, whatever rough does I mean, listening in.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, I'm gonna say that Shin you already know he's up there.
[SPEAKER_05]: Don't I can you make a other perception?
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, I've got a perspective of his type of eyes.
[SPEAKER_04]: I have 40.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm in your stuff, Jack.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I sure have something to do with me.
[SPEAKER_05]: So you can see them.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, 22.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, damn.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: I can see boy.
[SPEAKER_05]: The little creature, the little thing that just ramp past you has gone.
[SPEAKER_05]: So you think it's just Shin and you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well.
[SPEAKER_06]: I've been lying if I said it were a pretty place.
[SPEAKER_06]: Lots of sand, lots of heat, stretches on for a long, long time.
[SPEAKER_06]: I ain't seen a lot of it, but what I have seen wouldn't wish to go back.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've heard there's like oceans or something out there, you know?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, people say they see stuff in there out there, but I ain't never seen an ocean.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I'm sorry that your friends didn't come with you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, that's all right.
[SPEAKER_06]: I personally picked up the job by myself.
[SPEAKER_06]: See, I'm currently in the business of trying to rebuild my establishment to, you know, Deliberate the runners.
[SPEAKER_06]: You ever heard of us?
[SPEAKER_04]: Have I?
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, make me a history check.
[SPEAKER_05]: With a DC of 100.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: 12.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's gone.
[SPEAKER_05]: No.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, you haven't.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Who?
[SPEAKER_03]: What?
[SPEAKER_06]: We were a, how do I say this without sounding too criminal?
[SPEAKER_06]: We were a group of smugglers, you know, we moved off stuff around the city outside the city beyond the walls and the walls and we'd get it damn good.
[SPEAKER_06]: Unfortunately, circumstances have led to myself being on my own now.
[SPEAKER_06]: So I'm trying to rebuild and business and good lately, I don't have a lot of gold in my pocket, but that's why I'm here because I heard that this business is booming and well,
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm just looking for a few help and hey, says it work.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I'm always happy to help.
[SPEAKER_06]: Really?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I can, you know, repair stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: I can carve things out of words.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I've worked in my whole life, say.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's not too bad.
[SPEAKER_06]: How are you with a weapon?
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm very good with the weapon, actually.
[SPEAKER_06]: Very good with the weapon.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I always have my trusty attack with me, wherever I go.
[SPEAKER_05]: I want to...
[SPEAKER_05]: I basically want to climb down and have a dagger at Dylan's back.
[SPEAKER_05]: Ooh, okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Maybe a stealth check, please.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, and of course, that one's a fucking six.
[SPEAKER_05]: In total?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, Dylan, you're very aware that something is kind of hanging down behind you, and you hear the rest.
[SPEAKER_06]: Make sure to scratch on the shoulder blade.
[SPEAKER_06]: I kind of realness to each back there.
[SPEAKER_05]: I know, look over my shoulder.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you just see this goblin hanging upside down, just with a gap dagger.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm good with a weapon too.
[SPEAKER_05]: I can see that a lot.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I then drop down and scurry next to Shin.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is Mark.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, like it is a pleasure to meet you.
[SPEAKER_06]: I am Dylan Brody, the one who's, you might have heard of me, but don't mind if you don't.
[SPEAKER_06]: Are you two by any chance partners?
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean with friends, I think.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Cheers.
[SPEAKER_06]: Nice.
[SPEAKER_03]: My looks weird, but we like him too.
[SPEAKER_06]: Weird ain't bad.
[SPEAKER_06]: So let me get down to it as I mentioned.
[SPEAKER_06]: I am looking for some associates to help travel with this here business I'm doing with it.
[SPEAKER_06]: It was briny.
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you know briny?
[SPEAKER_03]: Briny, briny's the best.
[SPEAKER_03]: She'll sort you out of whatever you want.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, that's good to hear.
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you think, Bernie would mind if you tag along?
[SPEAKER_06]: I hear this stuff I'm taking is very heavy and it's not really a one man job and I am just one man.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I mean, I can ask,
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know what my mothers would say.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, you, your mom's, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: That's, uh, well, understandable.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, you don't want to be out too late.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, you don't want to be getting on the nerves now.
[SPEAKER_03]: But, uh, well, yeah, I mean, I do have like a car for you and I've got a stick to the rules, you know?
[SPEAKER_06]: So, uh, you got a curfew.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, of course, it can be dangerous at night around here.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh sure, it can be real for real dangerous at night, you know.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know, I'm gonna stay indoors after a certain time.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I can absolutely take care of myself.
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, I'll do it, I can do it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Will come with you, right, Marlock?
[SPEAKER_06]: Those are the suckers, let's go.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm starting to like you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Marlock, ever so slightly blushes.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well then, I'll, uh, since I'm doing my dealing with Renio over there, when Renio comes back, I'll let her know that you're tagging the law.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, amazing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe all groups says on Alpac.
[SPEAKER_06]: Pack?
[SPEAKER_06]: Be sure.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is just one job, you don't need to pack too much, but just get the essentials.
[SPEAKER_03]: The essentials.
[SPEAKER_06]: How long are we going for?
[SPEAKER_06]: I've not heard too much detail about it, but it should be too long, honey.
[SPEAKER_06]: Long tar might be a big city, but it's just one city after all.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I know my way around this place.
[SPEAKER_06]: I can get through the nukes and crannies as I were and find you back home with suit as soon as you want.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, can I say goodbye to my cats?
[SPEAKER_04]: Of course, I'm the known as to even the DM.
[SPEAKER_05]: I have been communing with a concave of cats to choose the new cap Pope.
[SPEAKER_05]: So can I just go there's officially like there's not that much religion in the city, but that is one of them So can I just kind of stream fantasy.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, can I go say goodbye?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, absolutely So where are they like just a little let's say in the rafters where I was okay?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, yeah So you so shouldn't you go and get your stuff from your room?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah I go to my room to get whatever she needs to go on adventure Okay, it's very exciting to hear like her kind of like she's running up the stairs You just hear a very excited step
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't run up no stairs.
[SPEAKER_05]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_05]: And then Malok, you disappear into the rafters, follow Malok, to find the cats, yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: You are into the rafters, where are these cats?
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, you don't know, that's the thing.
[SPEAKER_05]: They only appear when they choose to appear.
[SPEAKER_00]: Wonderful.
[SPEAKER_05]: But now they're all just in one corner with a soft sort of hay stack also.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, and I go over to them.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I'm not even going to cast speak with animals.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm just going to talk to them anyway.
[SPEAKER_05]: How many are there, Jamie?
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm a roll dice.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's six.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh my word, I wasn't expecting that.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you were expecting one or two and then as you get out to the end of the rafter four more of here from behind you.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, and then I say to them, right guys, I'm going away for a little bit.
[SPEAKER_05]: I point to one of them that is the fluffiest and I go flex, you're in charge.
[SPEAKER_05]: Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, bye guys, be safe, see you later.
[SPEAKER_05]: And they all kind of majestically bow their heads.
[SPEAKER_05]: And then yeah, I head back to where we were originally.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, and if you turn back, you just see the one that you pointed out and it's kind of pointing at the others well.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm fucking charged now.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just your asses down.
[SPEAKER_05]: They all kind of bow down to that one.
[SPEAKER_05]: And what you go back to the floor level of the day.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: I would like to just peruse around the store.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's here if I could find any artillery.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, should we also establish the gun situation in London?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, so just from a kind of law point of view, the kind of setting we're going for is
[SPEAKER_05]: Steam punk, grim, fairytale dark.
[SPEAKER_05]: If anyone's heard of the game, the table top game Malafo, it's like that and then throwing a bit of arcane in there and carnival row and taking that kind of inspiration.
[SPEAKER_05]: There are firearms, more so than a standard D&D kind of setting, but they are a few and far between, you can have firearm but getting ammunition for it can be challenging.
[SPEAKER_05]: So no one's going to have unlimited ammunition, unless you are incredibly wealthy.
[SPEAKER_05]: If you're not one of the incredibly wealthy and you're found with the firearm on you, the law will not be good to you, essentially.
[SPEAKER_05]: So it's not the kind of thing that you typically find out in the open, but yeah, make an investigation check.
[SPEAKER_04]: Chris, use bigger dice.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, I'm going to have to now, because I was only in 11th.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, I mean, you see a lot of weapons and a lot of armards and just a lot of useful things.
[SPEAKER_05]: Imagine like the Walmart of blacksmiths, but in a very small shop.
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know why I went American choice on the shop there, but the summer field of blacksmiths.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that's a big deal, that
[SPEAKER_06]: Now, I do believe I have a bit of coin on me, just a small amount of that.
[SPEAKER_06]: But have I been paid somewhat upfront for this job?
[SPEAKER_06]: Absolutely not.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I did that.
[SPEAKER_06]: So I just thought I'd shift.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, gosh, seven gold pieces.
[SPEAKER_06]: Damn.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, I'll have to just go with what I got.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you do know that in a lot of the, especially the slums, it works a lot more on a barter system than straight up gold,
[SPEAKER_05]: Gold can be stolen quickly down here, and it can disappear, and bartering is a lot more useful for just day-to-day survival.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah, they make sense.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, that's me down.
[SPEAKER_05]: Brittany, Brittany appears with three bundles.
[SPEAKER_05]: She's not, she's not large, so you can only just see over the top of these bundles that they do look incredibly heavy as
[SPEAKER_05]: and someone of her size, she is surprisingly strong.
[SPEAKER_05]: Wow, that is quite a payload.
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you mind if I...
[SPEAKER_05]: Heveled a little looksy.
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you all means?
[SPEAKER_05]: So inside you see, with three bundles, see, vote in the first one.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you see a kind of gauntlets with, I'm trying not to make it sound like an Iron Man gauntlet, but it's very much an Iron Man gauntlet.
[SPEAKER_05]: A legally distinct Iron Man.
[SPEAKER_05]: Legally distinct Iron Man.
[SPEAKER_05]: Copper, folk.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a chord.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a copper person.
[SPEAKER_05]: Copper person.
[SPEAKER_05]: Alumami.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's basically a gauntlet with a kind of a circular rock in the middle and kind of various wiring coming off it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Can I, uh, peek in as well?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you see, you see the same thing just slightly lower.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Did you make this, Bree?
[SPEAKER_05]: Is that all you did?
[SPEAKER_06]: No, what?
[SPEAKER_05]: But if anyone asks, you didn't get it from here.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know what you're talking about.
[SPEAKER_06]: I just found it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Ah, so, I knew I was going to like you.
[SPEAKER_05]: But, um,
[SPEAKER_06]: Between you and her, what the heck does this hear thing do?
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I want you to grab it and then grab your hand quickly and just shove your hand in the arms of the gauntlet or the gauntlet onto your hand.
[SPEAKER_05]: Surprisingly, lightweight apart from in your palm, that is a very heavy looking rock.
[SPEAKER_05]: So, uh, what does it do?
[SPEAKER_05]: And she just winks at you and flicks a little switch on your forearm, and your hand just immediately magnetizes to the table.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm gonna try and just pull this thing up.
[SPEAKER_05]: See if I can with people.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, you wanna do it in a kind of like a waving motion.
[SPEAKER_05]: All right, a waving motion.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Then you bring your palm up first and the magnet just kind of deep magnetizes.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is impressive.
[SPEAKER_05]: Totally different to the gloves in Mission Impossible.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's totally, it's completely different.
[SPEAKER_03]: All the gloves in our cane.
[SPEAKER_05]: All the glue.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, that's so heavily inspired by a lot of, uh, a lot of love's culture.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, the love's, like, does Magnic loves their Magnic loves.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I'll take Magnic loves.
[SPEAKER_05]: And there's a set of two, so there's actually two in a bundle.
[SPEAKER_05]: Wish I was getting me some of these.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, you have them for this job, but beware, they've got a limited charge, and she flicks off the switch.
[SPEAKER_06]: Huh?
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't be caught with them.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like I said, I thought there was going to be three of you.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's what Leeton said and Shin walks in the room.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you say, walk.
[SPEAKER_05]: She skips marry.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, flaunt.
[SPEAKER_03]: Shin actually stumbles into the room and has taken literally everything she could find I think she could share a carry.
[SPEAKER_03]: So she's like with chainmail java in flair, like for a sort of long sword, literally every single thing attached to her.
[SPEAKER_05]: Can you make a strength test please?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Just a deep funny.
[SPEAKER_03]: Seven.
[SPEAKER_05]: Seven in total.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, so all of you witnessed this thing kind of bumps away into the room.
[SPEAKER_05]: Stand there for a second and then.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you're kind of on your back like a turtle.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm ready to go.
[SPEAKER_05]: I can see that, um, well, uh, my luck you around.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you kind of look around and he's my luck is right by your feet.
[SPEAKER_05]: Hmm.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, I guess if we're all ready to go, uh, what do you mean all ready to go?
[SPEAKER_05]: Where do you think you took a go?
[SPEAKER_05]: And I'm grin at briny and I'm like we're going on an adventure.
[SPEAKER_05]: It looks very slowly over at shin and you've seen this look before and it
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, we've always said, like, to be helpful, it's important, and this gentleman needed help.
[SPEAKER_03]: So, I thought we thought we'd help out.
[SPEAKER_05]: Roll it persuading, Jack.
[SPEAKER_03]: A dice is not in my favor.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, one of my persuasion.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: seven.
[SPEAKER_05]: Over my dead corpse, you are not going anywhere.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, you cannot, I already stand up with all those weapons.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I, uh, and like, Shin, I'd slowly try and like, open kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm unraveling.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, and then like, brush off legs and stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you can just see this, like, chain mail isn't even like, on properly like, like, gimmly and gimmly.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it was done.
[SPEAKER_03]: to be kind to everybody, to offer help.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you know, we're in a prime place for it at the Warmaker.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what you always said.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's a sigh and the look goes from not rage, but it's just disappointment, but also, you
[SPEAKER_05]: this day was gonna come at some point.
[SPEAKER_05]: And this isn't the first time that you've asked to, you know, go on an adventure.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's definitely so much of a mothering instinct.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's almost like you've got three mothers who are here in the war maker.
[SPEAKER_05]: Right, take that show, Mel, off, and take all those weapons, but just leave them there or sort them out.
[SPEAKER_05]: You go as I've to Dylan, and she comes up to like your hit, like generously your hit.
[SPEAKER_05]: And she just beckons with a finger for you to lean down.
[SPEAKER_05]: Allie, now.
[SPEAKER_05]: You get half inches, reach up, grabs you.
[SPEAKER_05]: You got beard?
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Grab your beard.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, yeah, shoot down.
[SPEAKER_05]: If anything happens to these two sweets, I will end you.
[SPEAKER_05]: Not just physically, but spiritually, emotionally, I will end you.
[SPEAKER_05]: Do you understand?
[SPEAKER_05]: Crystal clear.
[SPEAKER_05]: and next let's go.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh and also there'll be taking a third of your cut each and I fist bump shin when that happens and I fist bump in return.
[SPEAKER_06]: We will have to negotiate fees at another time but since you are in business with myself there will be an agreement and the agreement is a third each and you just reach up on her glove and hits a button in the door logs.
[SPEAKER_05]: Frey, I don't change the student anymore.
[SPEAKER_05]: Alright, a third each.
[SPEAKER_05]: That wasn't that simple.
[SPEAKER_05]: Click, and all the door unlocks.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I whisper just so shin can he as I whisper in Shin's ear.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_03]: You can have my third.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, no.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're at this together.
[SPEAKER_05]: money means nothing to me.
[SPEAKER_05]: Can I hear this?
[SPEAKER_05]: Uh, make up for so few minutes.
[SPEAKER_05]: 10.
[SPEAKER_05]: Make a slight of mouth check I guess.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's no staff for that.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's still self-worths.
[SPEAKER_05]: Uh, okay, stuffy.
[SPEAKER_05]: Uh, nine.
[SPEAKER_05]: You got a time, you got 10.
[SPEAKER_05]: Uh, you hear it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Ah, I'm not the fuck.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, I just don't really matter.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you hear it in the fact that Marlok is not fast on money and there's like a little dollar sign that flicks over your eyes.
[SPEAKER_06]: A third-each is a mad-if-hande you.
[SPEAKER_05]: Good!
[SPEAKER_05]: Right, you two, if I find you've been causing trouble, well, you know, more than usual, you're in for it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Understand?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, really.
[SPEAKER_03]: We've got a briny.
[SPEAKER_03]: Am I, what do I need to take then?
[SPEAKER_05]: Not all of that.
[SPEAKER_05]: Just make sure, if there's trouble, you run.
[SPEAKER_03]: If there's trouble, I'll run.
[SPEAKER_05]: If there's trouble, you run.
[SPEAKER_05]: But I can fight.
[SPEAKER_03]: For now.
[SPEAKER_05]: For now.
[SPEAKER_05]: So for now, you run.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Promise me.
[SPEAKER_03]: I promise, Brittany.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I put my arm on her shoulder.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like my hands on her shoulder.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm just like, give her a little gentle squeeze.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because I'm taller than her.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's such funness there for team and her own Brittany.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, up until the gentle squeeze, her eyes narrow.
[SPEAKER_05]: And then the squeeze instantly soften.
[SPEAKER_05]: All right.
[SPEAKER_05]: Go on.
[SPEAKER_05]: I've got things to do.
[SPEAKER_05]: On with you.
[SPEAKER_05]: Let's run.
[SPEAKER_05]: Nice.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_05]: A cat phrase.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I got an already.
[SPEAKER_05]: Wonderful.
[SPEAKER_05]: Episode one cat phrase.
[SPEAKER_06]: You've writing that down.
[SPEAKER_06]: First thing I want to do is I just want to see if those dig at his hands are still out in the open.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Make a perception.
[SPEAKER_06]: 13.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_05]: They are.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you can't see.
[SPEAKER_05]: You can't see the log.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's any more.
[SPEAKER_06]: Listen.
[SPEAKER_06]: Just stick together.
[SPEAKER_06]: And we're just going to follow me.
[SPEAKER_06]: Anybody tries to start before a conversation, you just see you're in a hurry.
[SPEAKER_06]: You got places to be.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm in a hurry and I've got places to be.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_03]: I just would try and keep an eye on Marlotte sometimes.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know you get distracted easily.
[SPEAKER_05]: As you're saying, this isn't butterfly, just butterfly.
[SPEAKER_06]: Sorry, what?
[SPEAKER_06]: Check around, make sure I think nobody listening.
[SPEAKER_06]: I've got a location I got to get to.
[SPEAKER_06]: Not too familiar with this one, and I'll say that much.
[SPEAKER_06]: Can I actually roll this here if I can figure out where it is?
[SPEAKER_06]: So that's what I'm talking about.
[SPEAKER_04]: So that's what I'm talking about.
[SPEAKER_06]: So that's what I'm talking about.
[SPEAKER_06]: Like I said, I know this city like the back of my hand.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, you know that mine three out is a mining level.
[SPEAKER_05]: Level three.
[SPEAKER_05]: and outgoing.
[SPEAKER_05]: You're on certain watch section nine and be 38.
[SPEAKER_06]: Just follow me.
[SPEAKER_06]: I know where I'm going.
[SPEAKER_06]: We're on our way to the mines.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mines.
[SPEAKER_05]: Hmm.
[SPEAKER_05]: Have I been there before, Jamie?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you, you, you, because you wander around all sorts of places.
[SPEAKER_05]: Sometimes, you're not supposed to, but you just sneak around.
[SPEAKER_06]: I know if you could spider's there.
[SPEAKER_06]: Are these regular spiders or, we talk in some a big, some a small, um, they're mostly friendly.
[SPEAKER_06]: Mostly friendly and some are small.
[SPEAKER_06]: I will take it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Let's run.
[SPEAKER_05]: You start wandering off as you start going the direction that you know is the way Marlok you instinctively know there's a shortcut.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I'm taking the shortcut, but I, I nudge Dylan and say to him like, I know a shortcut.
[SPEAKER_05]: Why not?
[SPEAKER_05]: Let's take the shortcut.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, cool.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you're just one easy from where you were going and in the other direction.
[SPEAKER_03]: Obviously we discussed before, Shin is quite known in the area and slums does anybody recognise her because in my head she's always saying hi to everybody.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, it's kind of walking down the street and people are kind of waving at you and nodding and kind of giving odd glances to your new companion and looking at Marlock.
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you much of a thief, Marlock?
[SPEAKER_04]: selectively.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, some of the locals notice you and kind of instinctively kind of reach their pockets.
[SPEAKER_05]: And just just look, just look with a level of mistrust.
[SPEAKER_05]: That wasn't a well-exintention.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, I don't, I don't.
[SPEAKER_03]: But you are a goblin.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, there's a certain amount of prejudice on top of the fact that they've seen you sneaking around.
[SPEAKER_05]: And coincidentally, I was thinking of using my disguise kit.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, what now before yourself?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Although another question which is a bit confusing for me is I'm sure I have the spelled disguise self.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: But it's not in my character sheet.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, if you tell me you had it and it's just not there for some reason, then yeah, for the sake of role-playing and okay, shits and gags, then yeah, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: I will disguise myself as a human that is a little bit shorter than Dylan.
[SPEAKER_05]: Let's say that I'll have to stick with being small, but tell you about a child or something like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Could know, I wore for a minor.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, yeah, I wore, I'm gonna go for a dwarf, black hair.
[SPEAKER_05]: Nice, nice big bushy beard.
[SPEAKER_05]: Big bushy beard, okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you doing that before you leave the wall like that?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, okay cool.
[SPEAKER_05]: All right, in which case no one's taking their wallet snatch.
[SPEAKER_05]: Actually they're giving you kind of not so of respect.
[SPEAKER_05]: Because the locals know that you're heading down in the direction of a well-known miners short cut to the mines.
[SPEAKER_05]: Not the guys from up top.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know where you're going, so there's a kind of throw up.
[SPEAKER_05]: Should we sing high hope?
[SPEAKER_05]: For legal reasons?
[SPEAKER_05]: No.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, hi.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's off to work to die.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's still accurate.
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: So you are you're on your way.
[SPEAKER_05]: Can you make perception checks for me, please?
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, natural one.
[SPEAKER_05]: It was about time Chris.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's gonna happen sooner or later.
[SPEAKER_05]: 14.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: 9.
[SPEAKER_05]: Dylan.
[SPEAKER_05]: You don't know this direction at all.
[SPEAKER_05]: So you are kind of worried that we're going in on Darish up with Mark seems to happily know.
[SPEAKER_05]: Shin you're just excited to be out out on an adventure.
[SPEAKER_05]: Mark, you
[SPEAKER_05]: are aware that despite all the kind of approving looks that you're getting and people are saying hello and watching it, there's a group of footsteps about 20 feet behind you that seem to be following you just more or less exactly where you're going.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, I nudge both of them on their arms and do the sort of hand signals to indicate that there's footsteps behind us and I do a little sort of running thing with my two fingers and then point behind me.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're going in the wrong direction.
[SPEAKER_03]: She sounds like...
[SPEAKER_05]: As a runner, Dylan, you know exactly what this means straight away.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh boy, I'm wondering, look around and see if I can spot anything, you've turned around about 20 feet behind you, there is just a group of dealers hand, and as soon as you they spot you, the leader kind of smiles.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, well, well, well, well, well,
[SPEAKER_05]: A little Dylan Brody, Shinn and Marlock noticed that this guy is fairly chunky and tall.
[SPEAKER_05]: He's tall and doesn't say he's a kind of galayath.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, God.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: The rest there are a mix of human and there's a teafling there.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's one warfu who looks fucking hedge.
[SPEAKER_05]: Imagine Victorian dock workers.
[SPEAKER_06]: That kind of, you get with braces and pee blinds.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, it's very pee blinds, it's very pee blinds, it's very pee blinds too.
[SPEAKER_03]: Which one's kiddin' Murphy, please, I'm the thank you.
[SPEAKER_05]: But the central one walks up and you kind of recognise this guy, but you don't really know his name.
[SPEAKER_05]: And he walks right up close to your face and just spits the tooth, they cut you.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, he's been chewing on.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, thank you for that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, did you work?
[SPEAKER_04]: Did you just pop into the warmaker?
[SPEAKER_06]: I happened to have done just that.
[SPEAKER_06]: I was a perusing, you know.
[SPEAKER_06]: Seeing what they got on offer these days, although, you know, just a bit of wind to sharpen as it were.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure.
[SPEAKER_03]: We've got some really good offers on it at the moment, actually.
[SPEAKER_03]: 3% off on Tuesdays, and if you come on a Friday, there's 10% off your second purchase.
[SPEAKER_06]: And you know what, I think they got an offer on right now.
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe I'll go there.
[SPEAKER_06]: One of the back kind of looks.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, really?
[SPEAKER_05]: It looks behind me.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm down the road.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's pretty good too, actually.
[SPEAKER_05]: But the big guy, kind of stairs at U-shin.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I recognize you, you work there, don't you?
[SPEAKER_03]: Who's that demon?
[SPEAKER_04]: I came in a while ago to pick something up off and get what it is, very good, very good to put some.
[SPEAKER_05]: I think that's part-down little miss, part-down.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm not talking to you right now.
[SPEAKER_05]: Jamie, can I not reveal my dagger, but ready, my dagger?
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm doing my sleeve under my tilt, yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_06]: Come on now, big man, then you know where to tie to the lady?
[SPEAKER_06]: What kind of thing did you pick up?
[SPEAKER_06]: few bits and pieces here and there.
[SPEAKER_06]: I got business to attend to.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm doing a job.
[SPEAKER_06]: A job for you.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_04]: What wouldn't happen to be from Mr. Bals, would he?
[SPEAKER_04]: Never heard of the main.
[SPEAKER_04]: Have you not, that is intriguing.
[SPEAKER_04]: Because a little birdie told me that you was back on the work.
[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't realize you could tie to animals now.
[SPEAKER_05]: And yeah, he kind of looks you down and just puts another toothpick in his mouth.
[SPEAKER_04]: What happened to your crew again?
[SPEAKER_05]: We've got recognized these too.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, we're supporting on a delivery as well.
[SPEAKER_03]: So we're coming, we're all coming this way.
[SPEAKER_05]: Businesses business.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, you're a dwarf on you.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like you're not a goblin.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, the shop assistant and the minor.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, how quaint.
[SPEAKER_05]: You do seem to go through crew.
[SPEAKER_05]: Don't you?
[SPEAKER_06]: It happens on the job sometimes.
[SPEAKER_05]: Only if you're bad.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, maybe it's a bad luck, isn't it?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm a very unlucky man.
[SPEAKER_05]: What is going through Malach's mind right now?
[SPEAKER_05]: It's... For the listeners, I have a big grin on my face.
[SPEAKER_05]: Malach is very sensitive to kind of right and wrong.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, justice and injustice.
[SPEAKER_05]: I want to slice his Achilles attendant.
[SPEAKER_05]: Fuck him!
[SPEAKER_05]: He's Achilles tendon.
[SPEAKER_05]: This guy is being mean, and I don't like that.
[SPEAKER_05]: And he's threatening and he's threatened Dylan.
[SPEAKER_05]: So, strength of the stabbing?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Start a step!
[SPEAKER_05]: You're a road, you get surprised attack, don't you?
[SPEAKER_05]: I get sneak attack, sneak attack.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's if I have advantage on the guy and do I...
[SPEAKER_05]: I want you to make me a sneak check just because you're kind of in the middle of everyone.
[SPEAKER_05]: And all bigger than you usually are.
[SPEAKER_05]: Ah, it's a f**k.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you kind of make what a really subtle step forward and the other dwarf just kind of looks at you and narrow as their eyes.
[SPEAKER_05]: So you don't get it.
[SPEAKER_05]: If you want to go for it, you don't get it as an ecotack.
[SPEAKER_05]: It is just a straight out attack.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I'm just gonna do it anyway.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, cool, all right.
[SPEAKER_05]: So I'm attacking with a dagger and a rolled of 15.
[SPEAKER_05]: 15?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yep, that hits his aces perfectly.
[SPEAKER_05]: So he's the best.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, hits his Achilles tendon.
[SPEAKER_05]: Please.
[SPEAKER_05]: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
[SPEAKER_03]: He's killing his content.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's killing his content.
[SPEAKER_00]: She's terrified, act a lot over again.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm not silent, tendon.
[SPEAKER_05]: So, yeah, roll damage.
[SPEAKER_05]: Two plus three, five.
[SPEAKER_05]: Five piercing.
[SPEAKER_05]: Hang on.
[SPEAKER_05]: I need to come up with the name for this guy.
[SPEAKER_05]: Biggums.
[SPEAKER_01]: Biggums.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_05]: Biggums.
[SPEAKER_05]: Big Bobby, biggums.
[SPEAKER_05]: Chiffle, be they cool.
[SPEAKER_05]: Trouble, triple, be.
[SPEAKER_05]: Big, probably, biggums.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you just drop quickly and just slash or do you just stab its piercing.
[SPEAKER_05]: So just stab his Achilles.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you just
[SPEAKER_05]: shit okay 11 for me and 18 for me yeah right let's start combat and the first in the initiative is Dylan say so what do you want to do you you have got there there's big bobby biggums right in the front of you and there's hopefully four other bandits call them bandits so five into five into five in total clarify so with two action in combat I can use a bonus action using a
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, bear mine to it.
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know how they do officially indeed.
[SPEAKER_05]: I always see drawing and putting away weapons as a bonus section.
[SPEAKER_05]: So you haven't got your weapons out of the moment.
[SPEAKER_05]: So you wouldn't be able to attack twice.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, very true.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, the fact the first person who has a weapon out of the moment is it's Marlox who's like, fuck it, we're fighting.
[SPEAKER_05]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, since he's real close to me, I'm just going to pull my dagger out and just...
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, plus 5.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's a dirty 20.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's 20.
[SPEAKER_05]: That is.
[SPEAKER_06]: Crawford damage.
[SPEAKER_06]: 1d4 plus 3.
[SPEAKER_05]: Fucking hell.
[SPEAKER_05]: Seven.
[SPEAKER_05]: Jesus.
[SPEAKER_05]: You pull out your dagger and just straight to the gut.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm assuming.
[SPEAKER_05]: Are we maintaining eye contact?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: So this poor guy just...
[SPEAKER_05]: The toothpick just drops out with a mouth.
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_05]: I was going to grab the toothpick from him.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Grab the toothpick with your mouth and pull it away.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_03]: So, Shin has not drawn her weapon yet, but I will try and persuade them to start fighting.
[SPEAKER_03]: I should be like, look, I'm sure we could come up with some sort of deal or offer.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I'll give you like a code, you can get like 50% off.
[SPEAKER_03]: What about 50% off at the wallmaker?
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, you just have to speak to Brittany, she'll sort everything out, but like, we don't have to fight this out.
[SPEAKER_05]: can you make a persuasion check please?
[SPEAKER_03]: 11.
[SPEAKER_05]: 11.
[SPEAKER_05]: The Kylie and Biggins who's just been slashed in the police, Tenden and has a dagger in his gut kind of just looks to you.
[SPEAKER_05]: Fuck him up, Lance!
[SPEAKER_05]: So that would be your bonus action I'd say.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh that's my bonus action.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'd say that's a bonus action.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, Shin is just reminded by the promise that she made to bring an eye in bloom that if there was a fight that she would run.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: And she's not going to, so she gets a dagger out in front of me.
[SPEAKER_03]: Who's in front of me?
[SPEAKER_05]: Let's say that is a human and an elf.
[SPEAKER_03]: human and an elf I'm going for the elf.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, then mind, go like a eight.
[SPEAKER_05]: That does not, so you slash wildly, thinking about running, thinking about what really told you, and at a moment of desperation, just slashing in front of you, and the elf just kind of doesn't move at all.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's not even close to them.
[SPEAKER_05]: Mallock, over to you, I'm assuming that's the end of your turn.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I can't really embarrass myself further than you said.
[SPEAKER_05]: Your trousers fall down.
[SPEAKER_05]: You pee yourself.
[SPEAKER_05]: Alrighty.
[SPEAKER_05]: So basically just so you have a visual, there's a human bandit, an elf bandit, a teafling, and a dwarf, and then bigums, purely because that's how and separation of them.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's easy for me to have the track them.
[SPEAKER_05]: So shins on one side with the human and the elf, then it's Dylan and bigums in the middle, and then you and the dwarf in the teafling.
[SPEAKER_05]: So I'm going to use something which to non-dnd players is the signature ability of druids, which is called wild shape, why you can basically transform into a creature that you have seen before.
[SPEAKER_05]: So anyways, I am going to transform into a... Oof!
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah, okay, can you describe the transformation?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, so it starts with the face and the eyes, you know, my eyes change into the kind of the yellow beadiness that you get with some wolves.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's sort of grief that starts appearing on my face, my nose turns more into a snout and my teeth, which are kind of fairly sharp already, you know,
[SPEAKER_05]: changing fur into this gray wolf kind of thing just goes straight over my body all down and then as it's getting to my lower half it just kind of extends into the four-legged shape of them and you kind of fall down onto all fours yeah yeah and grow
[SPEAKER_05]: and grow.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's a bonus action or is that an action?
[SPEAKER_05]: There's wild shape normal, which is an action.
[SPEAKER_05]: But if you have a certain subclass of druid or a certain thing that you've got to take, you can have combat wild shape, which is a bonus action.
[SPEAKER_05]: Is that what you've got?
[SPEAKER_05]: Which is what I'm using.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, cool.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, so bonus action you've turned into a wolf.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yep, okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, and I am going to, I'm going to continue the attack on Biggams.
[SPEAKER_05]: Roll attack as a wolf, please.
[SPEAKER_05]: Uh, yep.
[SPEAKER_05]: Wolf starts.
[SPEAKER_05]: So that's going to be a bite attack.
[SPEAKER_05]: Do I have, uh, so this pack tactics, which is I have advantage on an attack roll against the creature, if at least one of the wolf's allies is within five feet.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Dylan's next.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Dylan.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: And he's currently stabbing the Biggams.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, okay, so let's roll the advantage.
[SPEAKER_05]: The advantage is you roll twice a bit of the highest number.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I'm really glad that happened because the first one was a one.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, but it's not really going well because the second one was a five which plus four is nine.
[SPEAKER_05]: okay yeah so you you go to bite but there's just too much like tussling between biggums and and Dylan okay i think that's the end of my turn then okay so i'm gonna do the bandits as one just because it's a lot easier that way so the dwarf seeing this taking it back slightly wasn't expecting a dwarf at all to turn into a dwarf the the banded dwarf
[SPEAKER_05]: Just takes a swipe at you, that'll be a 22 to hit on the road.
[SPEAKER_05]: Good lord.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, that hits and I'd like you to take 4 points of damage please as this cementer just comes and catches you across your grip cage
[SPEAKER_05]: by causing it a cut to dig into your fur.
[SPEAKER_05]: The teafling will grab the back of biggums and just try and yank him away from Dylan.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's going to be a little bit of strength to ask, can you give me a strength test please, Dylan?
[SPEAKER_05]: Unless you just want to let go.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's got a hurt throat, because if the dog is still in there.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm still in the pose, so why don't I just, if I can get high enough, can I twist it?
[SPEAKER_05]: Ah, yeah, okay, in which case you use your weapon attack.
[SPEAKER_06]: If I roll the other enough strength and I can keep it short.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, okay, all right, all right.
[SPEAKER_05]: If you beat me by a certain amount, which you, which you don't.
[SPEAKER_05]: So, Bingham's is pulled away, fortunately, hold on to your dagger.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: The elf bandit was the one that you went for.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, it was.
[SPEAKER_05]: Which kind of slightly smiles at you and pulls out an actual cimeter looking at your little dagger, smiles just pulls out a big blade and just walks menacingly towards you and just playfully jabs at you.
[SPEAKER_03]: Do I recognise the blade?
[SPEAKER_03]: Was it made of a war maker?
[SPEAKER_03]: My like, all that is a mighty fine blade right there.
[SPEAKER_05]: It wasn't made of yours because it's not very well kept.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not, but it's a rusty...
[SPEAKER_05]: It's not like... You start, it hits you for 18 though.
[SPEAKER_05]: It has you've stopped.
[SPEAKER_05]: You just... 18 damage.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, no, no, hit it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_05]: Why are you shitting?
[SPEAKER_05]: There's really guys to be you.
[SPEAKER_05]: And that'll do you four points of damage as well, as it's not even the blade.
[SPEAKER_05]: He just, with the pommel, onto your head.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, there's piss me off.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's piss hand off.
[SPEAKER_03]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's rude.
[SPEAKER_05]: And the human band, it kind of steps up and draws out a big club.
[SPEAKER_05]: And just menacingly stares at you and doesn't do anything.
[SPEAKER_05]: Just steps next to the elf.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: But they just both smile at you.
[SPEAKER_05]: You stack it back, clutching your head from the pommel hit.
[SPEAKER_05]: O-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E
[SPEAKER_05]: hilariously it rolled and then aimed at the dice aimed at Chris so we could read it perfectly.
[SPEAKER_05]: So that's 25 in total to hit on the natural 20.
[SPEAKER_05]: 16 points of piercing damage.
[SPEAKER_05]: You see down the barrel and do you see that?
[SPEAKER_05]: And you don't feel anything at first.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just a kind of jolt to your body and then searing pain.
[SPEAKER_05]: With that actually, can you take a constitution safe please?
[SPEAKER_05]: Five.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you feel the jaw, the pain hits, and you've just going incredibly lightheaded, and you fall straight backwards.
[SPEAKER_05]: Right in front of Shin, Shin, you've just seen him, seen a man be shot right in front of you.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm assuming that I've seen anything like that before my life.
[SPEAKER_05]: Not that.
[SPEAKER_05]: So you've seen light brawls, and you've seen, you know, but you haven't seen anyone just straight or get shot.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mr. Brady.
[SPEAKER_03]: Dylan?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Like I said, bad luck.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm just gonna pull my hand up and just say, all right, I said to you, you shot me how bad we call it even and we go about our business.
[SPEAKER_07]: Make a persuasion check.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, can I assist?
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, cool, what do you say?
[SPEAKER_03]: Look, it's equal, we're done here.
[SPEAKER_03]: You don't need anything else from us.
[SPEAKER_05]: Marlotte, do you want to do anything?
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, I'm a wolf.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you are.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, what would you like to do?
[SPEAKER_05]: Very, very, very, very, very.
[SPEAKER_05]: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
[SPEAKER_05]: Hannibal, did you get 16?
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, Jake, 14.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, so Chris, you rolled the advantage.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I got a dearly 21.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, shit, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: So bigum's kind of goes to take a step towards you and then stumbles as the kind of blood is just pouring out of his stomach.
[SPEAKER_05]: And kind of looks at the wolf.
[SPEAKER_05]: Looks essentially to him a child.
[SPEAKER_05]: and at least a young adult and looking quite scared, I'd say, or not not scared, but kind of kind of shakes and shakes and or I boys, it's all used off for now, but I want you to remember this brody, you're saying over.
[SPEAKER_05]: And the sea fling takes biggums and they kind of haul him away as he stumbles away and the the human and the elf kind of back away slowly and then put their weapons away before going out into the into the main street.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I stand in front of Dylan and Shin, you know, like the wolf stance.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you know, like legs kind of spread a bit.
[SPEAKER_05]: God, like growling, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: God, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mr. Brody, are you okay?
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm fine.
[SPEAKER_06]: I haven't been shot before.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's fine.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's a cough stop, some blood.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm doing okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: I just need it.
[UNKNOWN]: Could you give me a hand?
[SPEAKER_02]: That's all right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course, of course.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, I don't, I don't have any, um, potions or anything.
[SPEAKER_02]: Marlotte, do you have me healing?
[UNKNOWN]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
[SPEAKER_03]: She didn't like Pat's herself down and just like touches the bump on her head like she's a little embarrassed.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, we're all good, Mr. Brody, we're all good.
[SPEAKER_06]: Does anyone mind if we take a little detour?
[SPEAKER_06]: I gotta try and give myself a potion.
[SPEAKER_03]: Of course, I probably know a place.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think we know someone.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, you absolutely know someone.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, yeah, we can definitely help with that, don't worry.
[SPEAKER_06]: It sort of stands up really, really hurt, and really is not a pain, just breathing deep, breathing heavy, keeps flashing back to that gun flash, and it just looks around at the two of you and just says, shin, yeah, really told you to run away.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, yeah, she did, but it would have been what five on two, that's not fair on you either.
[SPEAKER_06]: You were running now.
[SPEAKER_06]: And even though we run, as we stand our ground.
[SPEAKER_05]: And Marlock goes over to Dylan and starts licking his hand.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
[SPEAKER_06]: You crazy little bastard.
[SPEAKER_06]: And next time, he's a little higher, getting him in the fucking bars.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, so you absolutely know where there's a local atmosphere.
[SPEAKER_05]: And he's actually not too far from where you are at the moment.
[SPEAKER_05]: you help Dylan to to his feet and slums and it's like a lot of weight on your shoulder like you are almost dead weight at this point.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm assuming fairly fucking close.
[SPEAKER_05]: But yeah, so you're kind of dead weighting and stumbling and shin kind of guide you Malak what are you doing?
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you staying as wolf?
[SPEAKER_05]: I think because shin is guiding.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, staying as wolf because shin is guiding.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm bringing up the rear then circling the more
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, cool.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: So Shinn you know where exactly where you're going and it takes a couple of minutes Dylan to you this feels like ages.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's like a discerning.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, it's incredible burning payer and every step it it feels when you look up down the street the street looks like it's getting longer and you're just getting light-headed and barely upright.
[SPEAKER_05]: If it wasn't for Shinn you'd
[SPEAKER_05]: You make it to the, uh, to the album, is this, I've a name for the albumist.
[SPEAKER_05]: Ells, chemist.
[SPEAKER_00]: Ells, chemist.
[SPEAKER_05]: The albumist.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, nice, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, now.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sort of a bit of a British word play there.
[SPEAKER_00]: Lovely.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
[SPEAKER_03]: Push the door open, does it like ding-a-ling-a-lings?
[SPEAKER_05]: It does ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling-a-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling-ling
[SPEAKER_05]: The old first night, you met Albert, I'm sure you probably know.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, it's like a poor Simon reference, and I got it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you, thank you, thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: You're going to be as long as I fell.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to be as long as I fell.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to fall.
[SPEAKER_03]: Is that a little shit, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Ow!
[SPEAKER_00]: You're right.
[SPEAKER_00]: I just close my eye.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I'm saying.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yes, that's good to see you again, I'm being seen you for a while.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know, I'm really sorry, but my friend Mr. Brody, he needs help.
[SPEAKER_03]: He needs help right now.
[SPEAKER_05]: My, I was bringing him in, yes, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_05]: Uh, a second down there, and you see this, like, a shade long.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's quite a well-established, chemist, and he's got a little shade long.
[SPEAKER_05]: And as you walk in, there is just cabinets filled with various ingredients, bottles, and things like that.
[SPEAKER_05]: Think a wild west.
[SPEAKER_05]: Potion cello essentially and he kind of comes out from behind the counter and you lead Brody over to the to the shayis law of red leather Yeah Oh, he's a geeky fellow Moonlight is something else and really try not to be like he's been shot What happened to it?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, so I can see that, yes.
[SPEAKER_04]: Please, sir, take a seat.
[SPEAKER_04]: How are you feeling?
[SPEAKER_05]: I have to help.
[SPEAKER_05]: Better?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, undoubtedly.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: You too.
[SPEAKER_05]: Bloody hell, there's a wolf.
[SPEAKER_05]: Who's that?
[SPEAKER_05]: And just my tail is wagging.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's the only thing I'm doing right now.
[SPEAKER_03]: So, he's with us.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's with us.
[SPEAKER_05]: Right.
[SPEAKER_05]: Good boy.
[SPEAKER_05]: But he kind of looks in the video legs.
[SPEAKER_05]: Good boy.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_05]: Sit.
[SPEAKER_05]: Stay.
[SPEAKER_05]: and I don't do anything.
[SPEAKER_05]: Right, yeah, so, okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: And just turns and... Shinri, could you just unbutton the shirt?
[SPEAKER_05]: I just need to access the wound and he... Don't let it off.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mr. Brody, are you happy for me to unbutton your shirt?
[SPEAKER_06]: It's fine, I can do it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Are you sure?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it's so good.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's fine.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't have to take off my poncho and then you're just slowly unbutton head.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's supposed to have a little metal plate there, but it didn't work this time around.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Not with natural training, we're right now.
[SPEAKER_05]: Take that off.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then I'm going to just see just a little... Actually, what was the metal plate?
[SPEAKER_05]: Was that your armor?
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a breast plate.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, okay, in which case that is a hole in it now.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, because breast plate has been punched inwards, so you have to kind of take it out of the wound a little bit, which things.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, yep.
[SPEAKER_05]: You take it and that just kind of slumps the ground's way too heavy for you at the moment.
[SPEAKER_05]: And as you can see, Dylan with no shirt on you see that he's just covered in scars, slashes, stabs, what looks like to be maybe another bullet wound.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, he looks like he's been in the walls over the years.
[SPEAKER_05]: and you can just collapse onto the sheer of long, there's no grace at all, like you can't collapse onto a sheer long, not gracefully.
[SPEAKER_06]: And yet, he manages it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Somehow it is stupid to try to go on his face, not realizing the shape of it and just sort of goes to the face of the guy who's the author of the chair.
[SPEAKER_05]: As there's a squeaking noise, his face goes down the leather.
[SPEAKER_05]: And Al comes back with clean rags and various ointments.
[SPEAKER_05]: You look like you've been in the halls.
[SPEAKER_05]: Right, just line your back for a minute, this may hurt.
[SPEAKER_05]: Go for one, about phrase, go to town on you.
[SPEAKER_05]: But in a healthy way, in a medicine way.
[SPEAKER_05]: In a century.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_05]: And basically fixes you up.
[SPEAKER_05]: Two a degree, the the ointments that he places on you kind of cleans up the wound and pause in this brownish green liquid, which stings like a mother fucker.
[SPEAKER_05]: Totally has like a archaic TCP.
[SPEAKER_05]: Lettering on it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Can I roll the CFI?
[SPEAKER_06]: Can I not scream?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, roll the Constitution.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm doing a bad S here if thing was... Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's my world.
[SPEAKER_05]: You squeal like a big.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's my Jesus.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's worse than the bullet.
[SPEAKER_08]: Are you just pouring liquid paint in my car?
[SPEAKER_05]: What in the?
[SPEAKER_05]: Is that dragon piss?
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, uh, can you take a constitution safe, please?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, sorry.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's funny.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, he grips it, you grip back.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, the support, the support.
[SPEAKER_03]: And we missed the brody.
[SPEAKER_05]: Just to fuck around with things.
[SPEAKER_05]: Can I lick some of the blood, please?
[SPEAKER_05]: Surely.
[SPEAKER_05]: What, that's on him or on the floor?
[SPEAKER_05]: On him.
[SPEAKER_05]: Brilliant.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: And not in a caring way.
[SPEAKER_05]: I just want to know what blood tastes like.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, this is not how I imagined my day.
[SPEAKER_05]: Let's go, let me go.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, dude, this was so pretty.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I was like, oh, he's sitting down!
[SPEAKER_05]: Down!
[SPEAKER_05]: Why?
[SPEAKER_05]: And you just keep getting like a bandage to another.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm very reminded of our bit in dog soldiers when the dog's doing sort of a bandage is on his open belly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, it's so violent.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was fucking sausages.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's bigger than dog soldiers.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's such a shoving shit.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, oh yeah, god damn it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Uh, make a tack roll, don't please.
[SPEAKER_03]: 17 plus four.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Am I doing an arm strike?
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't strike.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, just a date 20.
[SPEAKER_05]: And can you make a constitution saving throw please?
[SPEAKER_05]: I got a 14.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, you land one right in this duel.
[SPEAKER_05]: Straight out.
[SPEAKER_05]: And Dylan just smile.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, no, no, no, you did him a favour and everyone involved in this Well you shit that I'm and there's a final kind of raffle in those that kind of sting a little bit Oh my god, I need blood.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's gross Good ball smile Yes, yes, and there's blood dripping.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I know I smell and then I start looking the blood.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, that's worrying.
[SPEAKER_05]: But yes.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: My luck has got to taste for Brody's blood.
[SPEAKER_05]: Please don't leave him with the wolf.
[SPEAKER_05]: You're on a conscious.
[SPEAKER_05]: Al finishes stitching you up and a couple of hours pass and you come round a dull ache in your chest and you look down and you've been bandaged.
[SPEAKER_05]: Al has been coming back and checking you on you every now and again, make sure you temporarily go temperature and think make sure it's not
[SPEAKER_05]: And it's probably around 4 o'clock now.
[SPEAKER_05]: You look out of the window and you notice it's slightly darker and you are aware that this job has a time limit.

[SPEAKER_05]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, slightly too much.
[SPEAKER_05]: He might have a horrible moment later, but just just find some pillows and give it a cup of that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, it'd be back to noise.

[SPEAKER_05]: And he looked as the Shazelong that is...
[SPEAKER_05]: He's glad that it's red, because it's now a lot more red.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, I need to clean this up before I close, and I don't want to have any questions from...

[SPEAKER_05]: hard.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's like ice just run through your skin and the door is already shut and that kind of blinds it to hell and everything.

[SPEAKER_05]: But yeah, you'd be pick up any potions actually.
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
[SPEAKER_03]: Just the cooking for the ice.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I could, I could, I could, I could, Dylan, you're kind of in the center of the road kind of looking left and right, and Marlock, you know where to go from here.
[SPEAKER_05]: I lead the way, okay, you lead the way, and Dylan occasionally will run ahead and kind of look and be on guard and be ready.
[SPEAKER_05]: And just say you long about half an hour and you make it, make your way to mine three, the outgoings, which is in fact a train yard,
[SPEAKER_05]: Ooh, they have locomotion.
[SPEAKER_05]: They have locomotion, yes, so science and technology is kind of, that's what I was saying earlier with the minerals that are mined from the mountain left over from meteor have really accelerated technology and there is a form of locomotion.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's a train line that kind of spirals up through the city.
[SPEAKER_05]: It has to be because of the size of the city itself.
[SPEAKER_05]: and you get there as a number of locomotives there and you realise that they are each carriage is numbered.
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you know where the game is?
[SPEAKER_03]: The voting.
[SPEAKER_05]: Manning.
[SPEAKER_05]: Man 3 out.
[SPEAKER_08]: Three.
[SPEAKER_08]: Section 9.
[SPEAKER_05]: B-38.
[SPEAKER_05]: You look over and there's a sign and you're on mining level 3.
[SPEAKER_05]: Three.
[SPEAKER_05]: Outgoing.
[SPEAKER_05]: And the outgoing dictates the train that is right in front of you.
[SPEAKER_05]: in section nine that would be the carriage and you count a long one two three four and you and you see a nine slot you're from the distance here we go be 38 and as you say be 38 you just hear a train starts to move.
