SE07 EP02 - Worlds Collide

[00:00:02] Speaker A: Welcome, friends and adventurers to another episode of Dungeons and Blaggards. I am the dungeon Master, Robulon. Joining me in no particular order are the players. Brandon! [00:00:16] Speaker B: I am Ekurook Punschley, half orc blood hunter, Level 10, Dark Lord. [00:00:24] Speaker A: Eric! [00:00:25] Speaker C: I play Dr. Zozo Brightfeather, Level 10 Aarakocra artificer potionsmith. [00:00:32] Speaker D: Caleb! [00:00:34] Speaker E: I'm Kaitoa Tata. I'm a level 10 warforged barbarian. [00:00:40] Speaker A: Tomo! [00:00:41] Speaker G: Hey there. I'm playing Steve Tehuman. I am a human Gloomstalker Ranger, level six, Battle Master Fighter, level three. And a little bit of Rogue, level one. Vale! [00:00:56] Speaker H: I am playing Johawk. He is a gnoll champion fighter and totem warrior barbarian. [00:01:05] Speaker I: Hey, I'm Braeden. I'm playing half elf Beleg Dygar, hexblade warlock. [00:01:19] Speaker A: Previously on Dungeons and Blaggards. [00:01:24] Speaker C: I'm not fully understanding this truce that you're extending to us. What are you offering? And what do we need to do to prove that we are happy to accept or at least move forward from here? [00:01:39] Speaker B: The most impossible thing. Don't. [00:01:43] Speaker C: Which would be? [00:01:44] Speaker A: Kill anything. [00:01:47] Speaker C: For how long? [00:01:49] Speaker I: You just have to wait. The Brass Council rarely leaves the tower. Once a month, always. [00:01:55] Speaker A: Casting rituals. [00:01:57] Speaker I: Somewhat true, but they're also staying young. [00:02:04] Speaker A: Hey, Johawk. Yeah, the Corgi says, hey, what'd you do with the head of the grist? [00:02:13] Speaker G: It's mine. You're not taking it. [00:02:16] Speaker A: Very impressive. [00:02:18] Speaker B: I hope his minions don't go crazy without him. [00:02:24] Speaker E: It took a while to hack his head off, though. [00:02:27] Speaker J: Whoa. [00:02:27] Speaker B: The defenses of the gargoyles are down. [00:02:32] Speaker A: Still gotta worry about the moops, though. [00:02:35] Speaker G: Next time he should send. [00:02:36] Speaker F: You mean. [00:02:37] Speaker H: You mean the Moors? [00:02:38] Speaker E: Is it the Moors? [00:02:39] Speaker A: Yeah, it's the Moops. [00:02:42] Speaker E: I think that was a typo in a scroll. [00:02:44] Speaker G: Yeah, that's another Seinfeld reference. [00:02:48] Speaker A: Oozes puddings, jellies, surround us in Kozzem. Very difficult to leave. [00:02:58] Speaker A: And the Corgi looks a little forlorn down at his paw. But then he looks up and says, [00:03:06] Speaker B: tis the way of sorcerers and wizards. Magic only for the worthy. [00:03:13] Speaker E: Well, I met a jelly in the other tower. [00:03:16] Speaker B: I'm very concerned about this rube the cube, sounds like a terrible revelation. [00:03:23] Speaker I: Impossible. I highly doubt it. [00:03:26] Speaker A: Says the wizardess in mint. [00:03:29] Speaker C: You best believe it. [00:03:30] Speaker E: You can go over there and take a look yourself. [00:03:32] Speaker G: You speak bubbles? [00:03:35] Speaker D: I mean, you guys transported right over to that room with us. [00:03:38] Speaker I: The Monster Cube simply occupies those levels. Like a scroll maker. They produce the scrolls. That cannot be Rube. [00:03:50] Speaker E: He speaks Morose code. And I talked to him. [00:03:54] Speaker A: And it was rube. That popping. I remember. And it's Perry now saying while you were over there, the popping. [00:04:05] Speaker B: I get it. But that's not good. [00:04:09] Speaker A: And he, you know, begins to look over at the, you know, the headmistress and the superintendent. [00:04:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:04:14] Speaker A: Who seemed to not say much at all. But, yeah, party, you know. What are you doing right now? The floor is yours. You're out of initiative. [00:04:26] Speaker G: I'm inspecting the Gnoll kid. I'm, like, grabbing his arm and making sure his muscles are right. They're not feeding him wrong. [00:04:34] Speaker D: Are they feeding you right? [00:04:36] Speaker I: As you can see, I have been improving every day since my discard from the pack. I do not know many things, but I make my book. And he taps, you know, this book. He's clearly, like, working on on his own, to get my robe. And he seems like a motivated young gnoll pup. Now there is an answer from the superintendent. [00:05:02] Speaker J: Oh, you're worrying about food. We keep em comfortable here. [00:05:10] Speaker G: When's the last time he's had a halfling? [00:05:13] Speaker C: As they're talking, can I kind of shuffle over to the rest of the crew and just kind of whisper side mouth and just say, do we want to talk to Gurm or Mem and just ask them questions? Who do we want to talk to? [00:05:28] Speaker E: Yeah, I think Gurm or Mem, both would be ideal. I think we should both ask them some questions. [00:05:35] Speaker C: Sounds like they'll only give us the chance to speak with one. [00:05:38] Speaker E: So then I'd say Gurm, because we've been one more buddy with Gurm. Mem was just kind of like we met Mem. He helped us out a bit, but me and him didn't really get along. [00:05:52] Speaker D: Yeah, I trust Gurm more. [00:05:55] Speaker C: Okay, I'm gonna turn to the mistress and ask, can we speak with Gurm? [00:06:01] Speaker A: Certainly. One of the children will facilitate the viewing. [00:06:09] Speaker D: I think, meanwhile, Zozo is joining Steve and trying to figure out how to get the chains off Zozo. [00:06:16] Speaker A: As you approach Steve, Steve is standing so perfectly still that you begin to realize there's like an illusion going on here. [00:06:28] Speaker F: Yeah, illusory Steve, or Steve is just standing, I think, glaring at the. At the little wizards, when in fact, real Steve is trying to get back into the rope trick. [00:06:45] Speaker J: Okay. [00:06:46] Speaker A: There is a clinking of chains. And, I mean, Steve, like, given the slack on this on the chain, you could maybe get back into your little rope trick. But the chain certainly has not left your ankle. So what are you doing? [00:07:02] Speaker F: I'm hoping that there's enough slack on the chain that I can get to Rope trick. [00:07:08] Speaker B: Okay. [00:07:09] Speaker D: Zozo starts jingling her chain to mask. [00:07:12] Speaker A: Nice. Okay, you get the hell out there. [00:07:14] Speaker F: Also, can I also say that Steve has maybe ripped chunks of his now pretty tattered poncho and sort of loop them into the link so they don't make as much noise. [00:07:25] Speaker A: Oh, lovely. Well, I mean, you will roll something with help as Zozo catches your drift. What would you like to roll? [00:07:31] Speaker F: I would like to roll stealth. [00:07:34] Speaker A: Okay. Stealth with advantage. And then Zozo, you get the drift. [00:07:39] Speaker F: And that is a 26. [00:07:42] Speaker A: Oh, I would say that you've made it. However, this is, you know, right on top of where Kaitoa has now, I assume. Did you walk out to the edge there, Kaitoa? [00:07:54] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:07:55] Speaker A: Okay, so where, you know, now the minotaur now just kind of stands beside the grease. That's where your rope trick appeared, right directly over the grease puddle. So you go up there and you're just now looking out of your, what, little 5x5 window? And it appears at the moment that there's enough chaos that you weren't noticed. But, I mean, it's a precarious position because there's a chain hanging down and there are a lot of eyes on the scene. At the moment, though, you feel like you're out of view. [00:08:31] Speaker F: Uh, what can I do? [00:08:33] Speaker A: So, rest of the party. Yeah, you catch the drift there. And Zozo, perhaps standing beside illusionary Steve is, you know, is now what you guys were all sort of figuring out what to do. Oh, and Beleg, you hear a voice whisper in your head. [00:08:53] Speaker F: What is it? [00:08:53] Speaker C: Whisper? [00:08:57] Speaker A: The new spell. [00:08:59] Speaker I: Oh, the fried fish dwarf. [00:09:05] Speaker H: The confident confidant. [00:09:09] Speaker A: Sometimes I don't know why I picked you Beleg Dygar. [00:09:16] Speaker H: Not the sharpest spear. But adequate. [00:09:22] Speaker F: Can I. Could I whisper something to Zozo as well? [00:09:25] Speaker A: Are you using like a magical whisper? You're whispering down out of your treehouse. [00:09:29] Speaker F: Oh, am I in the treehouse? [00:09:31] Speaker A: From my view, you've made it to the edge of your little treehouse. I mean, you're still attached by this huge chain that is visible from the physical realm. [00:09:41] Speaker F: Now. Am I. Am I inside my. Have I crossed the threshold? [00:09:46] Speaker A: I would say you're just at the door. Like you can't get any more slack out of this chain. That is now taught. [00:09:55] Speaker F: So I can't. I can't pass the chain past the threshold of this rope trick. [00:09:59] Speaker A: No, there's not enough slack. [00:10:01] Speaker F: Damn it. So I'm like halfway in my. My rope trick spell. Correct. [00:10:12] Speaker H: Does Confident Conversation burn a spell slot. [00:10:15] Speaker A: Let's see. Was that a ritual or it. No, it's a. It is a fourth level spell. [00:10:23] Speaker C: Cool. [00:10:23] Speaker H: I'm going to move that over from level one to level four. [00:10:28] Speaker F: So I can't get this chain past the. Into the actual spell itself. [00:10:33] Speaker D: No. [00:10:33] Speaker A: And as you jingle it around, you're in a very precarious position. As you know, your illusion now begins to be identified. True sight! [00:10:44] Speaker B: He's escaping back into the pocket realm. [00:10:48] Speaker F: Damn it. Chuck a dagger at whoever's yelling [00:10:54] Speaker A: we you will definitely, you know, reveal your complete charade if you are throwing a dagger. Do you wish to throw a dagger? There is a small girl. Oh, it's the Tabaxi girl on the wizarding side. [00:11:05] Speaker F: No, I'm not throwing things. [00:11:07] Speaker A: Very big eyes, very cute. [00:11:10] Speaker F: I'm not going to do that. [00:11:12] Speaker H: Even my desk pop was only a desk pop. [00:11:17] Speaker D: Are his like legs sticking out of the. The portal or. [00:11:21] Speaker A: Yeah, that's how I see it. I see it like, you know, as your manacled, maybe right ankle just doesn't make it through. You're like sitting in. You're. You are. You're virtually sitting in the treehouse except for your legs. [00:11:33] Speaker F: Just need to raise the legs. [00:11:35] Speaker H: Sweep the leg. [00:11:38] Speaker F: I'm not coming out, you guys. [00:11:44] Speaker E: Steve, what if I cut off your legs? [00:11:47] Speaker D: Yeah, we can put a new one on. [00:11:49] Speaker F: My favorite thing is that you probably just see my ankles and then when Kaitoa says that, just my middle finger appears in air and then disappears. [00:12:03] Speaker I: Oh, more arcane surgery. [00:12:06] Speaker A: And now it's, you know, Selaine talking there. You know, Beleg to your comment. Sweep the leg. That's an elvish move. Says Perry to you, Beleg. And you know, Corge the corgi says, [00:12:22] Speaker B: I think we're gonna get along just fine. So much to learn from the wise wizards while you're here. [00:12:31] Speaker A: And party. What are you doing as your charade is coming apart there? [00:12:36] Speaker E: was mem coming in. [00:12:39] Speaker H: Steve come down from there. [00:12:41] Speaker A: Somebody catches your comment. There it is. The headmistress who now isn't saying anything but simply indicating over to either of the groups of students that they're there to facilitate some sort of scrying or spying. [00:12:58] Speaker H: Let's get to the scrying and spying. [00:13:01] Speaker B: What do you prefer sorcerous origins or wizardly ways for looking 120ft through some walls to a known person? [00:13:14] Speaker H: I'm well aware of how scrying works. [00:13:17] Speaker A: Scrying it is. And about four young students come up and they seem all to actually be participating in some sort. Some sort of a ritual casting. And then one of them says, oh, he's. He's popping around on that board again. And another one says, we can send over some spying eyes. And one of them, now the eyes, they're turning black and rolling back in their head. Then they say, oh, Mem is ready. Party you are essentially being offered to speak with Mem. [00:14:06] Speaker B: Can't show you a picture [00:14:09] Speaker H: we're waiting until we see him. We do see him? [00:14:12] Speaker B: No, you idiot. He's gonna stay over there in his prison levels. We can speak to him two way. Like a stone of near speech or far speech through the little child here. [00:14:24] Speaker C: We're not gonna speak to him until we know it's him. [00:14:27] Speaker B: What would you like to ask Mem? [00:14:32] Speaker A: Are you there? And there's a clearing of the throat. [00:14:40] Speaker C: I'm gonna whisper to the guys. What should we ask him to qualify that it's actually Mem? [00:14:49] Speaker H: We could ask him what he sold us. [00:14:51] Speaker C: ask Mem what did you sell us back at the wizard and Spear? [00:14:59] Speaker B: What did I sell you? Burglar's breastplate. The eager shortbow. Royal breastplate and voltaic machete. Construct, I hear you clanging around over there. Too many weapons you have, Vodog, the artist's adze, Old Toxie. Grumble, grumble, grumble. And the Sojourner's medallion. [00:15:26] Speaker D: Grumble, grumble. [00:15:27] Speaker B: And you there, half elf. Well, you. You stole three things. I want my stones back. You broke that promise. And then you. I suppose you took something that was technically paid for. The brass gauntlets. [00:15:44] Speaker D: And [00:15:49] Speaker B: You stole something else too. [00:15:51] Speaker H: Did not paid for it. [00:15:53] Speaker B: I'm being coy. Leah's heart. [00:15:58] Speaker C: Aw, isn't that cute? [00:16:00] Speaker H: Aw. [00:16:02] Speaker B: Well, I gave you my blessing, my young wizard apprentice. You must be soaking up more things here in Kozzem. No, no, warlock, you. Oh, the wizarding ways. You'll learn much. Maybe you'll level up and add spells to your spell book. No contracts for you. I'm Mem. [00:16:28] Speaker H: Checks out. [00:16:31] Speaker F: Yeah, [00:16:33] Speaker D: okay. [00:16:34] Speaker H: What are you doing here, man? [00:16:35] Speaker C: I'm gonna turn to Beleg and say, did he give you a blessing to marry her or something? [00:16:41] Speaker A: There's some cooing and oooh's from the crowd. And you can actually see that it's Perry, the Belegian figure leading the ooooh's. [00:16:55] Speaker B: How did I get here? Taken by the three High Magi. Absconded me from Basel, closed up my shop, set a burgler alarm to prevent people going in the back room. Left Leah in charge of the shop, told her not to go anywhere, and they got me in Basel, as I was rubbing one out on the ceiling. [00:17:23] Speaker E: Mem, what can you tell us about these wizards? [00:17:27] Speaker B: Wizards? You know how I feel about them. I hate them more than pixies and gnomes. [00:17:34] Speaker E: Can you tell us any weakness, strength? [00:17:37] Speaker A: Anyone who used to deal with them? [00:17:40] Speaker B: Underwater basket weaving. Confound them. [00:17:43] Speaker E: I am an excellent basket weaver. [00:17:47] Speaker B: You can't buy wisdom, Construct. And the devil won't give it to his minions. These wizards want to know everything. They want to know stuff. [00:17:58] Speaker E: Alright, so they lack wisdom. [00:18:02] Speaker B: Well, a person who breaks something just to find out how it works has strayed from the path of wisdom. These wizards here, they may have given responsibilities to these students, but they're all just clutching at the comforting rabbit's foot of ceremony. Magic is all corrupted here. I wish I'd just go back to my shop, but I'm. I'm popping some great moves over here on my board. [00:18:31] Speaker C: What do you know about Rube? [00:18:36] Speaker B: Cellmate upstairs. [00:18:38] Speaker H: Oh, shit. Right next to him the whole time. [00:18:43] Speaker B: Oh, I've been here for a couple weeks. All I can hear is the occasional goat bleating and a flushing sound every once in a while. With a popping too. [00:18:53] Speaker E: Bit of popping. [00:18:54] Speaker B: Well, that's right, Construct. [00:18:57] Speaker E: Did it sound like this? [00:19:00] Speaker B: SOS. That's Morose Code. Well, the reception is very good here through this little warging child, isn't it? I can hear all of you just fine. [00:19:14] Speaker C: Well, can you communicate with Rube like that? [00:19:17] Speaker E: Explains where he is right now. [00:19:19] Speaker B: Oh, I've been cut off. Cut off from everybody. Meals are good, though. Oh, the best. Oh, the best fish in Kozzem. Mostly polar bear meat last two weeks, not so good. Chickens? Chicken, excellent barbecue sauce. Menu's okay. Four out of five. I shouldn't make light of it. Are you also staying or they're just gonna push you off the cliff there? They'll snap your neck. That little rod trick. [00:19:54] Speaker C: We don't know. We're supposed to meet with them tomorrow at noon. [00:20:00] Speaker B: Oh, the wizards. Down they come. Oh, okay. Well, I'll be watching from my window. [00:20:08] Speaker H: Beleg looks over to see if he can see Mem's window. [00:20:12] Speaker A: Yes, there is Mem. And he's got like super long, like, white hair coming down in front of his face. It looks like they've taken his wizard's cap and he's waving out one of those little oval windows. I wave back. [00:20:28] Speaker E: He's in the tower across from us, but higher. [00:20:32] Speaker B: That's right. Construct. Lookee here. [00:20:36] Speaker H: Yeah, he's right below Rube. Yeah. [00:20:40] Speaker F: Oh. [00:20:41] Speaker B: Know who's downstairs? [00:20:43] Speaker H: Miki? [00:20:45] Speaker B: Oh. [00:20:45] Speaker F: Oh, boy. [00:20:46] Speaker B: They have to allocate a lot of floors to keep him in there. Oh, not happy, little feller. 20 floors of madness for Mickey. [00:20:57] Speaker H: 20 floors of madness. [00:21:01] Speaker A: Oh, I miss our little gnome. [00:21:05] Speaker B: Well, are you gonna take up arms against a new sea of problems? [00:21:10] Speaker E: I don't know. [00:21:11] Speaker H: What do you reckon? [00:21:12] Speaker D: That's to be determined. [00:21:14] Speaker B: What do I recommend? Raise the bar and raise the stakes. Well, gotta go. [00:21:26] Speaker A: And there's a little bit of static now as yeah, it looks like sort of the five minutes here is up and this little wizard kind of shakes their head and then they say, how was the reception? [00:21:46] Speaker H: Pretty good. Can we test it again with Gurm? [00:21:50] Speaker I: I'll need to pass that along to another one of my classmates here. [00:21:55] Speaker A: And they shoot their thumb towards their little neighbor here. And you know, a lot of these younger kids seem like awestruck by the party. [00:22:06] Speaker C: Starstruck. [00:22:07] Speaker A: Awestruck and starstruck indeed. [00:22:11] Speaker C: Can we start signing autographs? [00:22:14] Speaker A: Well, Rook, as you say that out loud, you know, there are a couple kids that start, you know, muttering, son of Saarn, I'll take an autograph. [00:22:27] Speaker C: And will you give me an exchange for an autograph? [00:22:30] Speaker A: Well, it is actually the little Gnoll pup kid. And they kind of push past Johawk and you know, in their rudimentary spell book here, they open up a blank page and they offer you a little quill and they say, for you. And they hold up the blank page. [00:22:47] Speaker C: Rook, what would you give me in return for it? [00:22:51] Speaker I: A thanks and a place in my spellbook. [00:22:56] Speaker C: I shrug my shoulders and quickly sign off. [00:23:00] Speaker A: Okay, and what are you signing? Ekurook Punschlaye, ou also have like an 18 word title that comes after it. [00:23:11] Speaker C: I'm just gonna put Rook. [00:23:13] Speaker A: It's like the virtual equivalent of like an X. Okay, so you put a small mark in. What would you say? Like Orcish? Common? [00:23:24] Speaker C: I would do common. [00:23:28] Speaker A: Okay, and he thanks you and bows low, does this little gnoll and then goes back to the ranks of benches there. Guys, what else? Keep on throwing it at me. I can't remember it all. What else are you guys doing in this moment? [00:23:43] Speaker C: At this moment? I'm gonna kind of just side mouth whisper again. Just say they love us. I think we can persuade them. And I'm looking at Beleg and I'm kind of going like, eh, eh? [00:23:56] Speaker H: want to talk to Miki first. [00:23:58] Speaker I: Oh, that's right, Miki. There's a couple of ways we can talk to Miki if he's available. [00:24:08] Speaker A: And Selaine starts kind of putting her fingers through her hair and like tying back and like it looks like a big scrunchie. And there is kind of a furtive look from all of the four, these praetors, these sort of senior apprentices here. And Raymer says, [00:24:31] Speaker J: Moo, Not a great situation on the Miki floors there. Lots of blood. Oh, didn't take too kindly to imprisonment. No spymaster does. His blood? No, no, no, no. Well, not technically blood. Technically. Well, we sent the moops on him. All the moops. [00:25:01] Speaker H: The moops. [00:25:03] Speaker J: Black jelly. Ochre jelly. Right. So he's. He's quite occupied. But we can transport over there, we have a nice little. Like it's like a little auditorium. So floor 40. See, you can look down at the operation. Just don't drop anything in there. [00:25:28] Speaker C: I think we should all go. [00:25:31] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah, let's all go over there and see if we can talk to Miki. [00:25:37] Speaker J: Over to the eastern tower. We need chauffeurs. [00:25:47] Speaker A: and a whole bunch of kids come up. A couple of them, though, seem to have bandages around their hands and are sort of indicating that they may not be able to perform the dimension during so party here. You all expressed it wants to go across, but only through three of you aren't in shackles. [00:26:10] Speaker H: The people in shackles have to come too. [00:26:15] Speaker J: I don't think so. [00:26:18] Speaker H: I will persuade you. [00:26:20] Speaker A: Okay, you guys can try rolling Persuasion in this moment. Yes, a sneak peek or a peek is being offered A sneak peek. [00:26:30] Speaker C: Are we all rolling persuasion or is it just Beleg? [00:26:33] Speaker A: Well, let's see what Beleg does. [00:26:35] Speaker H: Well, Belegs was. Does Beleg have inspiration right now? No, Belegs was. [00:26:39] Speaker C: Rook's gonna give him inspiration. [00:26:42] Speaker A: Oh, nice. Roll it again, Sally. [00:26:46] Speaker H: That was slightly better. I was only a 10 plus 3, though. [00:26:51] Speaker C: Blasted. [00:26:52] Speaker H: I'm better at intimidation. I should have done that. [00:26:56] Speaker C: Rook's gonna swoop behind him and see that he's not fully gonna be able to persuade him and he's gonna try persuading himself as. As a follow up. [00:27:08] Speaker A: So you gave an inspiration. You're gonna try and roll Persuasion. Okay. As you do so, the corgi comes forward. [00:27:16] Speaker C: It's a 16. [00:27:19] Speaker A: Oh, the corgi barks, corgi, and you try to make your case. Rook, to whom are you addressing and what case are you making in this tense moment? [00:27:35] Speaker C: I would be addressing the three kind of the, the mistress, the corgi, and the minotaur. [00:27:44] Speaker H: A corgi a minotaur and a mistress walk into a bar [00:27:50] Speaker C: and that both Steve and Zozo need to come with us and be unchained to do so. [00:28:00] Speaker B: Time for a demonstration. With the Goat. [00:28:05] Speaker A: The platform immediately retracts back from the noontime room. [00:28:11] Speaker J: The goat falls. [00:28:15] Speaker A: Zozo, you don't fall because obviously you're hovering in air. There's no change to your position. Steve luckily, you've moved away from that area, so of course you don't fall either. You're sitting in your treehouse. You're kind of tethered. But the goat falls and snaps the neck as it falls down and is suspended there between the two brass towers. From the Almost. I mean, it's a tiny. This immovable rod. [00:28:44] Speaker G: I was gonna talk to that. [00:28:49] Speaker C: Can I turn to them and ask? Ask what the. Why? The demonstration was needed. For success, says Perry. [00:29:00] Speaker A: We have to keep our shit together. We're all in this together. [00:29:08] Speaker C: So if we're all in this together, then why can't Steve and Zozo be unchained? [00:29:14] Speaker A: We have to have insurance. [00:29:16] Speaker C: For what? [00:29:18] Speaker A: Against you. You destroyed the Grist. You've surprised the Wizards Guild. You've pushed them back on their heels. They will deliberate. They are deliberating, and they're coming down in, oh, well, less than a day. [00:29:39] Speaker C: So can't you temporarily unchain them so we can all go over and speak with Gurm and visit? It's only for a couple minutes. [00:29:49] Speaker B: We can't kill you, but we can't trust ya. [00:29:54] Speaker E: They're way more powerful than us. So, like, really, where are we gonna go? [00:29:59] Speaker C: We haven't tried to escape. I thought we had a truce. [00:30:04] Speaker B: I have my caster here holding a frigid cooling off spell that I don't want to use. You can try to escape. We have. [00:30:15] Speaker A: And again, he kind of looks down a little bit forlorn. [00:30:19] Speaker B: The Moops. Just too many of them. Out on the beaches, out on the cliffs. Ochre jelly, black pudding. [00:30:27] Speaker E: I thought you said you threw them all at Gurm. [00:30:30] Speaker B: Oh, the Moops are many. The Moops are legion. [00:30:34] Speaker H: Legion of Moops. [00:30:35] Speaker B: Ah, they. They love it. Gargoyles and summoned sort of constructs. They procure those, and then the jellies just hang around. [00:30:47] Speaker C: If there's enough Moops, then why are you guys worried about unchaining Zozo and Steve? They're not going anywhere [00:30:54] Speaker H: Boys I think we should. Mum. Mum. Mum. Moop and swoop. [00:31:00] Speaker B: Half orc. The answer again is insurance. You are to be brought here. An emissary was bidden. Bidden, I say! And they did not return. The Wizard's Guild suspects subterfuge and double crossing. And triple crossing. You will answer. Ho, ho! [00:31:25] Speaker H: Did you say that you guys have tried to escape. [00:31:28] Speaker B: This is the fate of a wizard. [00:31:31] Speaker E: Kind of like Rube in the other tower. [00:31:34] Speaker F: We're not trapped in here with you. You're trapped in here with us. [00:31:44] Speaker D: If insurance is what you need, I'm sure we can come up with some kind of collateral. [00:31:48] Speaker C: Yeah, really? Take the Gnoll. [00:31:49] Speaker H: Take the Gnoll. [00:31:52] Speaker G: Well, I was about to offer that, but. I was about to offer. But if you're gonna delegate it to me, I don't think I will. [00:32:05] Speaker J: The self made prison. [00:32:08] Speaker A: A prison says Raymer there. [00:32:12] Speaker J: One who offers to step into the chain themselves. [00:32:17] Speaker A: Mmm. And he looks at you. Johawk. [00:32:20] Speaker A: Johawk. Have you offered to take one of the shackled spots? [00:32:26] Speaker G: I was gonna and then they volun-told me to do it. [00:32:31] Speaker C: You can shackle them twice and then. [00:32:32] Speaker G: So yes, I'll begrudgingly do it. [00:32:34] Speaker D: Yeah, we'll just get Steve to tell you to do it. [00:32:38] Speaker G: Yeah, yeah, Steve tells me to do it. I'm fucking game. [00:32:44] Speaker F: It's just a little. A little thumbs up, shows up out of the portal. [00:32:50] Speaker B: I don't like this. [00:32:52] Speaker A: Deal is off. Deal is off. There will be no changing of who is shackled. The bird is shackled and the boy's leg is shackled. Let him stay in his treehouse. Are you going over to see Miki or not? [00:33:06] Speaker G: No, really, it's fine. I can take the chains. [00:33:10] Speaker A: And this Corge character starts like bursting veins on his forehead and says, Corge is getting upset! [00:33:24] Speaker E: Serenity now. [00:33:28] Speaker J: Okay. [00:33:28] Speaker A: Massaging his little doggy temples, he looks over you, Kaitoa, and you know he's fuming. But you do see him start to kind of mouth the words a bit confused like, and yeah, party. I mean your group persuasion, Joe, okay although it is a moment of certainly negotiation, I will say the party has achieved what they want. Are you. Are you offering? The goat is gone. [00:33:54] Speaker G: Temporary exchange maybe. [00:33:56] Speaker A: Okay, okay. [00:33:57] Speaker B: Who for who? [00:33:59] Speaker G: Me for Steve. [00:34:01] Speaker A: Okay. Steve, what are you doing? [00:34:04] Speaker F: Well, I guess I can hear all this. So I'm dropping back out of the portal. There's nothing the portal can do for me anyway, so I'm just standing in. [00:34:13] Speaker A: come out of the treehouse. [00:34:18] Speaker H: You're not allowed to leave the treehouse until you clean it. Yeah, fold your laundry. [00:34:22] Speaker F: Kicking rocks and it's an old bull. [00:34:28] Speaker E: Steve for Joe then. [00:34:32] Speaker A: Yeah, send us. [00:34:33] Speaker G: Unlike Steve, I could break out of them. At least I'm confident I can break out of them if need be. [00:34:43] Speaker A: There is a sensation around your leg, Steve, of freedom. And you're not sure how this has occurred. But you know, Johawk, you feel the opposite. You feel entrapment. Your right ankle now is shackled. And Steve, you're free. [00:35:03] Speaker F: All right. [00:35:06] Speaker D: I say, hey, Raymer, if you take my shackle off, I'll fix your horn more. [00:35:15] Speaker J: Now that's an idea. [00:35:18] Speaker D: Just as a show of good faith, [00:35:21] Speaker A: Zozo, would you like to roll? Persuasion. [00:35:26] Speaker D: Okay, that is 14. [00:35:30] Speaker A: You got anything to add to that? [00:35:32] Speaker E: That is, [00:35:35] Speaker A: if anybody can lend the help action to Zozo by perhaps vouching for the good doctor. I will give you a advantage role. The party overcompensates. [00:35:55] Speaker E: Look, he's the best. He's the best. [00:36:00] Speaker H: The best Perry. [00:36:01] Speaker F: He's the best Perry. [00:36:04] Speaker A: Oh, oh, you're pulling at my heartstrings. Well done. Okay. And there's a chorus of she's the best. And you can roll with advantage. Hopefully you crack 15. [00:36:13] Speaker D: Yeah. Okay, that was 16. [00:36:18] Speaker A: Okay, so the Minotaur here with a little curly tuft of like woolly hair in between their horns. Yeah. One of these horns has been shattered right at the curlicue. [00:36:31] Speaker J: I am hideous. What can you do? Can you make it look whole and horny again? [00:36:39] Speaker D: I have a polar bugbear bone amulet. [00:36:42] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, that's true. You were given that by Mawshemok, the Tabaxi Tanner. [00:36:50] Speaker D: Yeah. Okay, I think that might look a little horny. [00:36:56] Speaker B: Okay. [00:36:57] Speaker A: And are you attempting some sort of fusing of materials? What are you doing? [00:37:02] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah, I'm going to kind of. Yeah. Put it on the end, maybe kind of fit it in the. The broken part of the. The horn and then cast mending on. On the horn so it kind of reforms around it. [00:37:16] Speaker A: you know, as this Minotaur. They're kind of. They're still kind of lying down now. They've sat down in the grease and they're kind of lying there a little bit prone and they say over to, Oh, Selaine let him out of the shackles. He can't reach me. [00:37:36] Speaker A: And all of a sudden, your leg fetter is off. That seems to have clicked. And it is off. And it tumbles to the ground and falls. And you are free, Dr. Zozo, to kind of cross the five foot distance towards this minotaur. [00:37:54] Speaker D: Okay. Yeah, I spend a little bit of time over there and. [00:37:57] Speaker H: Oh, you should do [00:38:01] Speaker E: getting horny. [00:38:04] Speaker A: Well, Dr. Zozo, there's a big. [00:38:09] Speaker J: Whoa, giddy up. [00:38:11] Speaker A: From this Minotaur. And they seem pleased and you feel like you may have actually given them something to be proud of. It looks quite unique. [00:38:23] Speaker D: I think that looks pretty nice. Does anybody have a mirror? [00:38:28] Speaker A: There is a couple of children who rush forward. One of them snaps their fingers and there looks like there is the illusion of a mirror that appears in front and behind of the Minotaur's head. So they're checking themselves out like in a barber's shop. [00:38:44] Speaker D: And they are they swivel. Swivel him around in the grease. [00:38:49] Speaker E: So like the barber chair swivel. [00:38:53] Speaker G: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:38:55] Speaker A: And as he finally comes to a final swivel there, he kind of looks over at Perry and Corge and says, [00:39:02] Speaker J: hey buddy, giddy up. [00:39:07] Speaker A: Okay, party. You in this moment seem to have won the favor of the first four praetors and their assembled students. Here again, the headmistress and the superintendent who's only talked once. They seem to remain completely out of the affairs going on here. Truly, it seems like these young magic workers do have the responsibility. And they say, [00:39:35] Speaker I: Fine, be good. [00:39:37] Speaker A: So there are 14 students that come up to the party and two of them pair off with, you know, each of you, Johawk, you are left there momentarily as you see all five of your adventuring companions disappear in the blink of an eye. And with them go this Perry character and this wizard, Selaine. So you are left there, Johawk, with the Corgi, the sorcerer Corgi, wizard Minotaur. [00:40:23] Speaker D: How hungry are you? [00:40:24] Speaker E: My hunger sense. [00:40:25] Speaker G: Oh, all I've had was your meat packet. But I think I could resist the [00:40:32] Speaker C: urge [00:40:34] Speaker G: to do anything stupid. [00:40:39] Speaker E: Should have left some of those meat tubes. [00:40:42] Speaker G: The gnoll child is gone too, right? [00:40:45] Speaker A: No. The assembled pupils stay on their benches. Then just you. An empty shackle five feet off to your left. This is the one that you know very quickly the owl doctor was let out of. And then there's another chain going off the edge of the now retracted platform of the western brass tower where the goat met its fate. [00:41:13] Speaker G: Are you gonna say to the gnoll kid, you know, your tribe misses you very much. [00:41:19] Speaker I: I was told they were destroyed. [00:41:23] Speaker G: That is not true. [00:41:26] Speaker I: And that nothing is left of the Gnoll pack. It is not true? [00:41:32] Speaker B: Could I. Could someone help me call someone? [00:41:37] Speaker A: There is a murmuring and some of the children begin to ask about distances. And you know, Joe, that's where we'll leave you momentarily. As you know, as you're left alone there. There do seem to be some nods, kids wanting to practice some far communication. Party, you are transported. You are transported in a flash by these wizards. So you're accompanied by Perry and Selaine and 12 dimension door chauffeurs from the wizarding crowd. You are in an exact semicircular observing floor. And you see down into about 20 levels. All of these levels are sort of semicircular in nature. Some of them overlap and not. And you can actually hear down there the sound of footsteps. And there you actually see a figure running. And they are running around what looks like a square transcribed inside of one of the circular levels. They're running around four equidistant walls. And they are pursued by what looks like a huge army, a fist full of oozes and jellies. [00:43:10] Speaker D: Can he hear us? [00:43:11] Speaker A: Miki looks up and he's looking up about like six or so levels. And as he does, like, he loses his footing and trips. [00:43:22] Speaker F: Oh, no. [00:43:23] Speaker A: And so the oozes gain on him. But, you know, now you see the game, the horrifying game that's being played here. You know, just as he goes around one corner, the oozes pursue. [00:43:34] Speaker H: Are we watching a giant game of Pacman where there's like, they're keeping him running and he's the ghost. Miki! [00:43:42] Speaker D: Power pellet. [00:43:43] Speaker H: Eat the cherries. [00:43:45] Speaker F: Power pellet. [00:43:46] Speaker B: What did you say? [00:43:47] Speaker F: The big pill. [00:43:48] Speaker B: Beleg, is that you? Yeah. [00:43:52] Speaker E: Do you want a junior mint? [00:43:56] Speaker B: Kaitoa, I don't want a mint. I want to get out of here. [00:44:00] Speaker E: Do you have a weapon? [00:44:02] Speaker B: Throw me a weapon! [00:44:04] Speaker E: Oh, I drop my great stone or my stolen greataxe. [00:44:10] Speaker A: As you drop the stolen greataxe, it plummets down. And you know, Miki, as he was shouting up and like cupping his voice in between his hands, you know, he did stumble again. But luckily your. Your axe drops. Let's roll for chance real quick. Can you roll a one D4? One D4. One D4. Fateful D4. [00:44:36] Speaker H: How far down is he? [00:44:37] Speaker A: Six levels. So 60ft. And your greataxe crashes into the pile of pursuing blobs and oozes. And oh my gosh, is it ever quickly dissolved. Good thing I wasn't using that anymore. Ooze gone and it goes up in like, you know, bubbling spray of acidification. [00:45:04] Speaker H: Beleg uses the candelabra to cast fly on himself and goes down to Miki. [00:45:13] Speaker A: Oh, wow. There are some gasps and you know, Rook and Steve, you're seeing Kaitoa and Beleg sort of act immediately. Zozo, you are still, like, really thankful to be free of that shackle there. [00:45:30] Speaker J: But. Yeah. Beleg, are you attempting to descend? [00:45:33] Speaker E: Yep. [00:45:34] Speaker A: Okay, but stay above the blobs. [00:45:36] Speaker H: I just want to descend. [00:45:38] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:45:38] Speaker H: So I'm hovering above Miki. [00:45:40] Speaker A: Well, you see a bunch of horrors and terrible looks like booby traps and devices and more oozes just trickling off the five floor floors that you descend down. And so you're hovering above. What is your aim here? [00:45:57] Speaker H: I want to, like, make contact with Miki and help him out if I can. [00:46:02] Speaker B: Don't make contact with the pudding! [00:46:05] Speaker H: I'm not gonna touch the pudding. Yeah, we just realized that. So I'm gonna. I'm gonna try and be like 2ft above a Mickey as he's running around and see if I can grab him. [00:46:19] Speaker B: Grab me belt, Beleg grab me belt! [00:46:22] Speaker A: And he unleashes his belt and throws it up into the air for you to catch Beleg. And can you roll a dexterity skill check? [00:46:36] Speaker F: Steve's lowering his rope with the grapple on the bottom side. [00:46:41] Speaker A: Okay, your soft grapple. Yeah. Kaitoa, the oozes now move on. They had a nice snack of your stolen greataxe, but now they surge towards Mickey, who is just trying to jump up into Beleg's grasp. [00:46:55] Speaker H: That was a 7 plus 3, so a 10. [00:46:58] Speaker J: Move down to help. [00:47:02] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:47:03] Speaker E: Can I give Beleg inspiration? [00:47:04] Speaker A: I was gonna say, I think we're gonna need some help here because I'll tell you, the first thing that happens is Miki's pants fall down. [00:47:11] Speaker E: I give Beleg my inspiration. [00:47:13] Speaker A: Okay. [00:47:14] Speaker D: Zozo swoops down, grabs Steve's grapple and, nice, and comes down to help. [00:47:19] Speaker A: Okay, so Steve and Zozo, you're coming in with a dragline, another method of securing. And Beleg, you just miss the belt as it flicks past you. But Kaitoa gives you inspiration. And then your slightly larger construct arm comes in for a second grab. [00:47:38] Speaker H: Construct arm sucks. [00:47:39] Speaker B: Oh, no. [00:47:42] Speaker H: Can I just, like, dive bomb and grab him around the waist? [00:47:46] Speaker A: Yeah, if you want to go down a little bit further as your second roll. [00:47:49] Speaker B: What? [00:47:50] Speaker A: What was it just awful? [00:47:51] Speaker H: It was four plus three, so seven. [00:47:53] Speaker A: Oh, and you whiffle in the air and Miki's belt kind of hopelessly falls out of your grasp. He falls back on to the ground onto his knees, and, like, the oozes are going to be upon him in no time. [00:48:06] Speaker H: So I swoop down and grab hold of them and dimension door back to the classroom. [00:48:15] Speaker A: Okay, so can you roll a grapple check? [00:48:19] Speaker H: Not well, apparently those dice suck grapple strength. [00:48:26] Speaker F: Take those dice, throw them in the garbage. [00:48:28] Speaker H: No, they're Beleg's dice. That's a 13. 13 straight up plus zero. [00:48:37] Speaker A: Okay, 13 Beleg. A gray ooze launches its appendage out at you and begins dissolving your breastplate. [00:48:52] Speaker D: Zozo swings that grapple at the ooze. [00:48:54] Speaker H: I just wanted to dimension door out. [00:48:57] Speaker A: Okay. And then you're swinging the grappling. You are interrupted as you try and dimension door out. You are being interrupted. And Zozo, what was your aim with the. With Steve's grappling hook. You're guiding it down? [00:49:11] Speaker D: I just swing it like as a weapon to knock the ooze off of Beleg. [00:49:15] Speaker A: Oh, sweet roll on AC. You got to beat an eight. [00:49:21] Speaker D: Oh, it was a nine. [00:49:22] Speaker B: Oh shit. [00:49:24] Speaker A: You hit the gray ooze that is clearly wrapping itself around Beleg's midsection, preventing him from dimension dooring away. [00:49:33] Speaker D: Okay, yeah, yeah. I just want to kick it back [00:49:37] Speaker B: off a little bit. [00:49:37] Speaker A: Why don't you roll a 1D6. [00:49:40] Speaker D: Okay. It's a 3. [00:49:42] Speaker A: Okay. Well you just bludgeon this thing with the head of the grappling hook. [00:49:49] Speaker D: Beleg is it off? [00:49:50] Speaker A: you are free. And you are still now a little bit shocked by the gray ooze attack. And it is still corroding. And in fact some of your breastplate here has been turned to kind of mush. But you're holding on to Miki now. You feel you could dimension door back up to the observatory level. I do. Done. In a flash. Miki is beside the party and he is in tatters. [00:50:20] Speaker H: I want to go to where like Johawk is. [00:50:23] Speaker E: Yeah, okay. The classroom. [00:50:25] Speaker A: You go back to the other side? [00:50:27] Speaker H: Yeah, yeah. I got a 500 foot range. [00:50:29] Speaker A: Totally. It's within 500ft. Very clever. Okay, so you know, you know that room well, Joe, you've been rejoined by Beleg and with a small passenger, looks like a gnome. And there's a bunch of kind of gray and ochre and black ooze all about them. [00:50:47] Speaker H: As soon as we land, I point at Johawk and I say, you don't fucking eat him. [00:50:52] Speaker G: I don't like gnomes anyways. Good. [00:50:56] Speaker A: I don't taste good. [00:50:58] Speaker G: No, you don't. [00:51:00] Speaker A: Okay, party, you have a two way split now, Rook, Steve, Kaitoa and Zozo. Gone is the half elf and Gurm, Miki, what are you doing? Now as all of you feel, you know, a hand on your shoulder and you know Selaine and Perry are putting their hands in their head and shaking their heads. They seem to regret this. [00:51:30] Speaker E: Is there anything above us? What does the roof look like? [00:51:34] Speaker A: There is, you know, your typical brass floor above you. 10 foot ceilings. [00:51:41] Speaker H: Yeah. [00:51:42] Speaker A: This is a window level, you know, so of course you can see over to the western Tower. How big are the pudding things? They vary in size. Some of them look small. Some of them look, like, tiny, like they've been maybe hacked at by a gnome, you know, and split and multiplied. Some are large. [00:52:04] Speaker D: I think Zozo's gonna try to catch one in the bottle. [00:52:07] Speaker A: Okay, each ooze that you're looking at here. [00:52:10] Speaker H: how confident are you in these bottles? [00:52:13] Speaker A: Each ooze here is sort of in small and medium and large size. So you're going after a small ooze? [00:52:21] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:52:22] Speaker A: Okay, there appeared to be black pudding, gray ooze, a little ochre jelly. Little baby ochre jelly. [00:52:29] Speaker E: Well, we know the gray turn [00:52:30] Speaker A: Did you want one of each? [00:52:33] Speaker D: Sure. [00:52:33] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:52:34] Speaker A: Okay, you unclasp three bottles. And each time, though, I'd like you to make three rather low grapple checks, as these little. As these little oozes are keen to attach to your feathers. [00:52:46] Speaker D: Okay, so grapple the strength. Yeah. Okay, so it's a 14. Pass. [00:52:52] Speaker B: Pass on the gray. [00:52:54] Speaker J: Six. [00:52:55] Speaker A: Oh, fail on the ochre. [00:52:57] Speaker D: Okay. And an 11. [00:53:00] Speaker A: And then pass on the pudding [00:53:05] Speaker E: Skin single. [00:53:06] Speaker D: So I have a gray and a black. [00:53:08] Speaker A: You have a gray and a black. But that ochre jelly, it's like it can move through a space as narrow as an inch, and it can climb on difficult surfaces, including upside down. And so as you try and put it in your little flask, it is just scooting all around the flask on the outside of the glass. [00:53:29] Speaker D: I fly back up before any of the big ones catch up to me. I rejoin the rest of the people [00:53:35] Speaker A: and that little tiny pseudopod. What's your AC again? [00:53:40] Speaker D: 14. [00:53:41] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, well, it certainly tried. That little ochre jelly tried to lash out at you, but yet you flicked it off. [00:53:49] Speaker H: Zozo, remember, don't feed it after midnight, and don't let it touch water. [00:53:53] Speaker G: Yeah. [00:53:55] Speaker A: And so as you fly back up, all of the chauffeurs now are putting a hand on your shoulder party. And Perry says, oh, well done. What a headache. Party. Then you have two each of these rather young wizards putting their hand on your shoulder. Are you a willing transportee here, you four? [00:54:24] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:54:25] Speaker H: Yeah, yeah. [00:54:26] Speaker D: I mean, yeah, I don't want to stick around here. [00:54:29] Speaker E: I do want to get up to Mem, but. Yeah, I guess we're gonna have to wait. [00:54:34] Speaker D: Yeah. How many floors are between. Between here and Mem? [00:54:39] Speaker A: You could roll a quick wisdom, Zozo. You could actually probably figure it out. [00:54:45] Speaker E: Yeah, I think he's. I remember Mem saying that he can hear all the, like, going on and Then above him, he can hear the bubbling of Rube. [00:54:57] Speaker D: I got a 21 wisdom. [00:54:59] Speaker A: Nice. Well, actually, as you and Kaitoa sort of discussed quickly, you can actually do a lot of the math and sort of figure out that the Rube's floors were clearly above Mem's floor. Then, logically, there's the noontime room, which appears to be above you, and then Miki's apparently 20 or so floors are below. So now you actually have a good account of how the eastern tower is segmented vertically. Okay. And you are transported back, and you barely miss as you guys are transported back, occupying the space of a couple of people in the room. Because, of course, Beleg, you have made quite a scene. You have transported back with, you know, prisoner Miki slash Gurm. And these guys all are rejoined. Raymer the Minotaur takes his huge cloven hands, kind of unwieldy hands together and. And says, worlds collide. [00:56:14] Speaker E: Worlds. Worlds, Perry, Worlds. [00:56:21] Speaker A: And that, friends and adventurers, is where we'll have to leave you tonight. Until the next time on Dungeons and Blaggards. [00:57:41] Speaker E: I wanted to stay there and try and get Mem out, though, but then I was like, I'm stuck over here. [00:57:47] Speaker D: Well, we do know which window is Mem, so. [00:57:49] Speaker H: Yeah, we'll get Miki to wave at Mem. [00:57:53] Speaker G: Yeah. [00:57:54] Speaker A: Did you guys get that Mem was going all Julian Assange. The long hair. That he's popping tricks over there on his board. [00:58:07] Speaker F: Just skating back and forth. [00:58:09] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:58:09] Speaker F: Losing his mind. [00:58:14] Speaker A: Oh, man, that was a great extraction. Boy, some of that was really unexpected. [00:58:19] Speaker G: Oh, yeah. [00:58:20] Speaker A: But, yeah, I mean, Miki just. He looks awful. Looks like they've kept him on the run. Well done. How long has he been there? [00:58:28] Speaker E: Yeah, I guess we can heal him up real fast. Get him a weapon, stat. [00:58:33] Speaker H: Not the weapon you tried to give him. [00:58:35] Speaker A: No, that's. [00:58:36] Speaker E: Yeah, that was disposable. I haven't used it in a long time. [00:58:39] Speaker G: Will anything truly compare to his crossbow? [00:58:42] Speaker C: Nothing. [00:58:44] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:58:45] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:58:45] Speaker G: How much did that thing do? 4D8. [00:58:48] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:58:49] Speaker A: Thank you, guys. That was a really fun session. [00:58:52] Speaker G: Yeah. [00:58:54] Speaker H: I have West End girls stuck in my head now. Every time we talk about the West Towers, I always get West End girls stuck in my head. [00:59:02] Speaker C: Little pet shop. [00:59:04] Speaker H: Yep, [00:59:09] Speaker A: That was on heavy rotation on MTV Europe. [00:59:13] Speaker D: Yep. [00:59:15] Speaker A: Yeah, hey Zozo and Eric. Yeah. You were the first one onto my Seinfeld framing. [00:59:22] Speaker G: Yeah, yeah, I. I caught Kramer. I didn't catch the other reference. [00:59:28] Speaker D: George. [00:59:29] Speaker A: Corge [00:59:29] Speaker H: Yeah. [00:59:30] Speaker D: Perry, Jerry, [00:59:33] Speaker A: obviously. [00:59:34] Speaker H: Elaine, Selaine I'm still waiting for the Newman. [00:59:38] Speaker D: Oh, you. [00:59:38] Speaker A: Yeah. What did you recommend? I kind of want to create that. You said Gruman? [00:59:42] Speaker H: Yeah, I did say Gruman. Hello, Gruman. Hello, Perry. [00:59:48] Speaker D: He works in the. The mail room. [00:59:50] Speaker H: Yeah, in the mail room of the brass towers. [00:59:52] Speaker F: Yeah. Yeah. Are we. What are we gonna. Are we fighting our way out of this, or is this. [01:00:02] Speaker G: I have preconceptions. [01:00:06] Speaker H: I'm gonna put pressure on Rob and just continually look at Miki, like. What are you doing, Mick? Yeah. [01:00:13] Speaker F: I guess we. I guess we saved Miki. [01:00:16] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:00:16] Speaker D: We're just back. Yeah. [01:00:18] Speaker F: Are we back in that room that we were in before? [01:00:21] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:00:21] Speaker H: Did you guys all teleport back into the room? I couldn't remember. [01:00:24] Speaker D: We got teleported back. [01:00:25] Speaker H: Yeah. [01:00:28] Speaker D: I think the rest of us got teleported back. [01:00:30] Speaker H: Yeah. I just kept flexing more Eldritch muscles. [01:00:34] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:00:36] Speaker H: Not going to be a liked creature in this place, that's for sure. [01:00:41] Speaker F: I don't know. [01:00:41] Speaker D: They seem. They seem kind of impressed by us, or. [01:00:46] Speaker H: I think Mem is really gonna hate me if he gets out because I told him that I was not a warlock and that I was, like, a wizard the entire time. [01:00:55] Speaker F: Oh, really? [01:00:58] Speaker H: So we'll see how Mem feels about me. [01:01:02] Speaker F: He may have lost his mind already, and then he won't remember that you told him you were a wizard. [01:01:07] Speaker H: That's right. [01:01:08] Speaker F: Then it's a win win situation. [01:01:10] Speaker H: But I still don't want to have to fight Mem to the death. You guys got my back, though, right? [01:01:16] Speaker G: Sure. As long as you got my back against the High Magi. [01:01:23] Speaker H: Oh, man. Anybody who's gonna help us kill the High Magi? I have the back of. [01:01:29] Speaker D: So, are we planning on sticking around for this. This trial? [01:01:34] Speaker H: Or do we want to just escape? [01:01:37] Speaker G: I think we'll try the High Magi. [01:01:40] Speaker D: Like, it'll. We'll work this in reverse.
