Introduction to Episode 19

00:00:00
Speaker
Hey everyone, this is Cam the GM for Life and Dice Jail. You're currently listening to episode 19 of our Soul of Ross campaign. Get in loser, we're going shopping. Thank you so much for tuning in, we hope you enjoy. A heart without a soul on cannot beat.
00:00:21
Speaker
A heart that cannot beat turns to ice.

Quest Instructions: Hunt the Qadiran

00:00:30
Speaker
The ice hides what once was until the soul to awaken
00:01:02
Speaker
It was a little bit of a yeah roleplay focused episode. I got to meet my hero, ah Mr. Clan Chief himself, and he explained to us that ah our purpose is just beginning, or at least mine is. our Our journey is just beginning as we enter the new chapter, and we all decide to go hunting.
00:01:27
Speaker
We're gonna go fight the spirit of the wilderness. Probably ruin a lot of stuff along the way, but that's fine. Look, we're we're we're in a winter wonderland. What nature is there to Basically, yes. um You have been told by Chief Brave Walker of the RNA that you need to, ah or I guess Thub wasn't here for this because he's,
00:01:58
Speaker
escaping debt collectors or whatever. um But you were told by Chief Brave Walker of the ah RNA basically like the basically the equivalent of the King of Salter. And he told you that in order to be trusted as guardians of the Soul of Frost,
00:02:17
Speaker
you need to become members of the RNA tribe and in order to do that you need to go through the initiation which involves going to the hollow forest which is the only forest on the entire and the entirety of Selter and you need to kill and bring back the body of a creature known as a Qadiran which you have discovered is a big bird.
00:02:41
Speaker
Is it also like a holy creature from the deep green as

Journey Planning and Reflection

00:02:45
Speaker
well? I wouldn't necessarily say holy creature, but it is a deeper primal creature With very deep connections to the deep green aka all of Nate the the dimension that all plants come from um So Yeah, ah last we left off, you were making your plans to go to the Hollow Forest, um and you were specifically ah making your way over to Hetrick to see how the snowmobile is doing. So.
00:03:27
Speaker
um As you're all heading over to the Greenhouse Guild, Thub, you're hiding in an alleyway when you see the rest of your crew come around.
00:03:43
Speaker
The rest of you see a giant- There you are! Where have you been? I've been looking all over for you! You were the one who ran away. We've been where we said we were going.
00:04:02
Speaker
Where were you? I was in the Saudi way. we were in the tavern, having a meeting. I see. With the chief.
00:04:25
Speaker
Ah, how did this go?
00:04:30
Speaker
I'm going to point at Thicket's chest. You remember we have that, right?
00:04:38
Speaker
Puff out my chest. Yes. Oh, my God. Literally, why it pushes his brain at the back of his skull is how hard he's face popping right now. Thub.
00:04:58
Speaker
we have to go kill a magic bird so that we can be made members of this tribe but no one's killed the bird in a long enough time for it to be mythology so we're probably gonna die congratulations you're up to speed we're going to the snowmobile well that sounds exciting the way you put it makes it sound pretty crazy i think we had established that it was pretty crazy already yeah
00:05:30
Speaker
Well, I thought we were just going for the motions, but now that you've said it, that actually does sound pretty crazy. motion Okay,
00:05:40
Speaker
okay so you all make your way over to the Greenhouse Guild, um where Hetrick is still parked, and upon arrival you do in fact see Hetrick currently working on the snowmobile outside.
00:05:59
Speaker
Greetings there, Hetrick. How goes the, uh, slitting? Oh, hey there. Um, well, it's... it's doing a little bit better. Um, certainly could be
00:06:24
Speaker
It's getting to a service... I would definitely say it's at a serviceable point. You know, there's still a few cracks in the armour. If it takes another... If it takes another big hit like that, and like that explosion, then we're going to have a problem. But for now, it's fully functional. Well, we have to get down to Nilbud and then to the Hollow Forest. Oh great! That's a...
00:06:54
Speaker
That's a long way. Aye. We have to kill a cutie, Rin. A what? It's a big bird thing. A heh. Mm-hmm. I don't know what that is, but, eh, alright. We're not expecting you to be involved in the killing of it. Good. Good. I'm glad.
00:07:19
Speaker
We just need to get the sled in as good a shape as we can before we head out of town. OK. Well, that's, yeah, we can, I definitely could use a little bit more help with it ah if you're if you want to. a Otherwise, I'm perfectly happy to keep working on this while you get supplies or whatever. I mean, I'm happy to help. appeal All right, and if you want to help out, then let's let's do that and everyone else, I guess. ah Get you ready for the journey. This is a long way. Do you know... ah the What route do we plan on going? what We wanted to go through Nilbud, right? We didn't want to go... Right, but are we cutting across places? Are we cutting across Tundra or are we taking the road?
00:08:16
Speaker
That's the question. boom A reminder that ah you currently don't necessarily know all of the routes. Yeah. Can we purchase a map? You certainly could try.

Repairs and Crafting Preparations

00:08:29
Speaker
Why it will attempt to
00:08:47
Speaker
you have two options map for like one little like one little area or you can get a larger map of the whole place. So like a survey map would cover maybe like it would basically cover, ah in this case, Gallinid and then all the hexes around it. and But a like a bigger map would cover like a significantly larger chunk.
00:09:33
Speaker
And you can go even bigger to get the whole the whole of Salter if you want, but a regular just area map is 10 gold. Regular area map was 10 gold, you said. How much is the survey map? Is it an area map? What's the hierarchy of maps? Sorry, I'm mixing up. I'm mincing words a little bit. Don't worry. You've got your area map, which is 10 gold. And that's just the hex that you're on and then the hex is adjacent to it.
00:10:08
Speaker
a You can get one step up from that, which is going to be like, I would i would say probably more like,
00:10:21
Speaker
here's what we're going to say. Okay. We're going to make this simple. I'm inventing a system here. No, it's fine. Don't be sorry. I should have planned this. I just didn't have time. Um, so it's 10 gold for every layer of hexes.
00:10:36
Speaker
So 10 gold, you get the hexes adjacent. 20 gold, you get two layers of hexes. Okay. And so on and so forth. So let's say if I'm 80 gold on me, that's eight hexes. So that would get you...
00:11:06
Speaker
Do you guys want to cheat our way and get ah get a whole map of Psalter? Once again, I don't think that's cheating. Yeah, like an RPG, you buy it.
00:11:18
Speaker
Nevermind, forget it. I was, I was making a joke. right guys Actually, you know what? yeah You could, if, if you were to buy, I would say if you were to buy a whole regional map like that, it would make sense for it to be centered on Nilbud. So for, for 80 gold, yeah, you could buy a map on it. It won't really have anything beyond like cities and a few basic landmarks.
00:11:47
Speaker
But so 80 gold gets me the whole thing, right? Pretty much. Dear God.
00:11:56
Speaker
so What store am I buying this from? You have 80 gold. We have I have free when claw blades on me.
00:12:07
Speaker
Okay, well we have to sell those first. One for... I'm gonna sell two, because I know these one qualities are... You can't find anyone who's willing to buy them. Oh, are you serious? I'm walking around. We're gonna go to Nilbud to sell them. Gods.
00:12:22
Speaker
before we yeah they are you're getting all this money for they are literally in like 20 gold they're literally artifacts of uh oh of a day that that nobody likes tip can i attempt to uh lease it off as like just a regular figure i found on it i've already rolled for you you were unsuccessful okay No, I want KK to do an underworld lore check. No! ah I've already told you you were unsuccessful. Okay, okay. I tried that, and you were unsuccessful. Damn. I imagine why it's walking the streets, like, asking around, like, don't sell me that cursed item, like, fuck. They're like, no, why the fuck would I want this? this is These are the people who tried to, like, I don't know, they killed the mayor or whatever.
00:13:05
Speaker
They killed the mayor. They had a huge attack. They tried to destroy the town with those horrible baby things. Yes. I think you're mistaking them. These are actually Wolverine cosplay claws. I don't know what that means. Fuck! Oh, from Marvel. Yeah, Marvel. Okay.
00:13:29
Speaker
Well... Shit. I don't have enough gold and poor.
00:13:37
Speaker
I did have to spend all that money on booze, i'd be I could afford it. Quick does any of you guys need a fear gem? I have one. Okay, does anyone else who uses a and ah weapon want it?
00:13:59
Speaker
My only weapons are these two guns. and ah The first episode of this series was called oops all mages for a reason. So yeah, and I'm aware I will flee sat this fear gem then
00:14:20
Speaker
I think I'm all right. Okay. Okay. So on divin feeble.
00:14:28
Speaker
Okay, so for your gem, that'll net you 20 gold. All right, perfect. I'll give myself 20 gold and spend... um I'll give myself 20 gold. There we go. um I will spend, I guess, 20 gold pieces for ah for a generalized map of the area. Okay. So I guess put that in your inventory as a rank two area map.
00:14:57
Speaker
and I'll start uncovering hexes.
00:15:03
Speaker
Oh my gosh, you're right. Rank two survey map. There we go. All right.
00:15:19
Speaker
And it it will function as a survey map. Like there is an item called a survey map. and yeah yeah has that So you get the plus one bonus to survival checks and checks for call knowledge
00:15:39
Speaker
somewhat important stuff. Yes. But basically this I'm not stealing it all the way to the glacier. And then a little bit of a little bit of shopkeeper. I guess. Yeah, I got some pens and such. He. All right. Can you give me one?
00:16:07
Speaker
And you want to buy a writing set or are you? What are you doing here? I just want someone to take notes on the fucking map. OK, well, a writing set is one gold and this includes a stationery, papers, parchment, a whole variety of them ink, quill. I just get an ink and quill and not the rest of it. Well, they kind of all come as a bundle. Fuck you. Here's a gold.
00:16:35
Speaker
Thank you. You have a writing set now.
00:16:41
Speaker
Very chill about being told. the yeah ah yeah Where is that in the compendium? It's literallyly called i got it. yeah Okay. Perfect. All right. Got it. Thank you.
00:16:57
Speaker
I kicked out the door, but I can't keep it out. Cause I have to like really awkwardly reach up. You instead, kick the door and stub your toe. Ow. All right. So while Wyatt is off buying a map, um, what are the rest of you or Bastion, you're helping fix the sled. Um, so I guess, move any heavy do you want to check on this? Um, so I guess in that case, uh,
00:17:25
Speaker
Yeah, make a make a crafting check Bastion. Morgan, you can help out with moving things. um I would also like to assist with moving things because I have a big strong man in my chat. So so bad that was a natural one. Whoa. So Bastion, you manage to like you basically walk over, touch the thing, and immediately one of the, ah one of the skis falls off. i can also try I take a step back and I just go, okay. How did you manage that? Literally all of this- That's telling me that it doesn't want my help. Literally all of the screws just shield off from you touching it. I think we should take that as a sign to stop.
00:18:32
Speaker
okay. Thub, you're much more successful. You're an expert in crafting now, yeah? I am. Okay, so, yeah. Thub, you step on up and you use you use your metal bending prowess to to to do some boosting there. yeah You managed to put the put everything back together, the Bastion just broke. um And now it's it's a little bit better shape than you found it. Still not quite perfect. If we were on a scale of ah zero to 75, it's at a 55. So. It's an interesting scale. That's how many hit points it has.
00:19:12
Speaker
I'm telling you, it's hit points. It has 55 of 75 hit points, and it becomes functional at 37 and above, so. Well, it did the best I could. I mean, it's perfectly functional. so And we can we can keep walking on it. I mean, it that's only like 10 minutes of work, I should note.
00:19:39
Speaker
So it takes 10 minutes to do a repair action. um So you can you can just do that as many times as you want because Hetrick has the repair kit. Thicket and Morgrem you're just helping move
00:20:08
Speaker
assuming you're going to keep continuing to work on it? Yeah. Okay. Bastian, are you going to try to help again or are you going to do something else? Try and help one more time and see if it works okay. Then both of you make crafting checks.
00:20:27
Speaker
Me as well? Yes. Huzzah, a 25. I got a 27. 25, 27, okay. So, let me double check some stuff.
00:20:42
Speaker
Oh, yoy, yoy, yoy, okay. 25 and a 27, all right. Both of those are successes. Faster, are you a trained or expert in crafting? I am trained. Trained, okay. So.
00:20:59
Speaker
Bastion, you restore 10. Thub, you also restore 10. No, Thub, you restore 15. So plus total of 25. Hetrick also restores some. Hetrick is an expert. So a total of, yeah, you guys, you managed to over the next half hour or so bring it back up to full. So now you've got the whole thing in good condition.
00:21:31
Speaker
uh excellent news and indeed it was realized should i also be buying supplies for the journeys ahead possibly that was what i was implying that people should be doing if they weren't helping fix the sled yeah um moving large boards also works yeah Wyatt will return and he's gonna toss the map to Hendrick I don't have money unless Bastion is with me, so I can't do anything. Yeah, so we'll see if- I will win more Grim after we have completed. I've got a good amount of gold that I could spend. Right. How are folks doing on potions? We should probably stock up a bit. I'm the fucking potion we're talking about. Hey, why have you thrown this map at me? You're driving, right? Aye.
00:22:23
Speaker
key Hold on to it. Yeah. Yeah. Hold on. Give me a minute. Will you? ah you got I'm not navigating. I can't navigate on that. Of course you're not. You're not a good navigator. I didn't mean that. Sorry. why but you know Okay. So you're going to send me outside of this land this trip. Okay. So
00:22:47
Speaker
What are you all buying? Yeah. Okay. What are we all buying? um so Food. What do you got? We're the travel foods. So so we don't I don't know the travel rules. You do current. So um in terms of mechanics,
00:23:07
Speaker
i In terms of mechanics, you can just buy some, I mean, I guess you guys already have some rations, but you can just buy rations or whatever and just take one use off per day, um because ah one pack of rations is seven days worth of food, or seven meals worth of food, not seven days, seven meals worth of food. Alternatively, you can you know actually buy food to cook it. um You already have some in the party stash,
00:23:38
Speaker
Oh, I am buying the food system to cook with. I need to make more things in game. Yes, you do. um Oh my gosh, we have such frozen meat, frozen bread, potatoes, spinach, carrots, pork. Oh my goodness. You have yak? You have eight bulk of just general frozen mystery meat. And then you have frozen meat, which is possibly yak that you got from Yagwal.

Food and Supplies Discussion

00:24:09
Speaker
Can I say something? I keep forgetting how to fucking open the party folder.
00:24:14
Speaker
Did I say something funny? No. we're so I'm so glad that, like out of character, I'm so glad we were in a frozen wasteland where we don't need refrigeration. It's like so convenient. It just works. So what what what food items has he got?
00:24:42
Speaker
Well, have you opened the party folder? The party stash? I haven't opened right now. There you go. That's what you've got. Open the party stash. What is the was the guy, the store the store owner has? What do you want? Because you can get most things. this I mean, mostly vegetables are easiest to come by, like because you know this is where pretty much the entire colony's produce comes from. But you can also get some... as much vegetable wise here as we can so we don't have to stock up on it in nilbud because it'll be more expensive in nilbud you said you said vegetable beef what vegetable something she said that you should buy your vegetables here because they'll be more expensive in nilbud
00:25:37
Speaker
Oh, i hear yeah. I think that's a you problem. Maybe. ah yeah All right. Yeah. Well, we already have carrots, spinach and potatoes as well. Potatoes are not a vegetable. Potatoes are a start or a carbon. Functionally for the purpose of a
00:26:05
Speaker
For our purposes, it is grown in the dirt here. Yes. And is therefore cheaper to get here. If that is the case, and you want it, buy it here. thing of potatoes is for gold? That's meant to be for copper. What the fuck?
00:26:33
Speaker
expensive by god right What a luxury item um This guy have beef You can find beef I Don't want to know how old that beef is honestly out here. No, there's like there's cows. Oh they're like They have some livestock here just not a whole lot Not as much as not as much as other places in general livestock is It's something that you can find pretty much everywhere. Okay, rice is two copper per meal. If you want basic level zero rice.
00:27:29
Speaker
Wait, there's levels for rice? Leveled rice. Yeah, there's levels for all food. Wait, you're telling me there's level. You're telling me there's a level 20 potato out there. Yes. And then we need to find it. You could. Forget the main quest. We need to go find that level 20 potato. You can. I was going to say, yeah, you can get like, yeah, the the level determines its price, but also its value when you're cooking, like the the the bonuses you're able to get from the food.
00:28:02
Speaker
Because remember, when you cook, you give the entire party plus ones to everything equal to the recipes level. So. Oh, my gosh. Holy shit. That's actually huge. What the heck? Oh, it only lasts for and it only lasts for an hour. But so you're telling us to pig out before a big boss battle, right? You could. Yeah.
00:28:30
Speaker
that'd be like really funny if we were just in a dungeon right before a boss battle and we're all just like chilling out around a fire with like a pot you could totally do that that is such a cozy mood sorry giant bird if you could just wait we have a roast in the oven We will invite it over. Yeah, before we kill you. the roof so like it starts It starts like fucking charging us. We're like, sir, sir, we are waiting for the pot roast. Oh, you'll get your food when it's time, dearie. and So Jacob, you're getting beef? Yeah, so I'm getting beef. Are you just getting basic, basic beef?
00:29:16
Speaker
Basic beef. I would say you can get level- Okay, so regular level level two beef is two silver per serving. Oh Jesus Christ, okay. ah how How many people does a serving feed? It's a meal for the whole party.
00:29:44
Speaker
Let me add the beef. There we go. There's your beef. And rice is two copper. okay so For basic rice. Let's do let's do a two sets of basic rice then. So it's four copper. And then I am, I already? Let me see what I have.
00:30:05
Speaker
Potato, spinach, or carrots and pork. Beef now. Geez pork is expensive man. What fuck? Are you looking at the player's guide thing? No, I'm looking at the value on, um look at the value column on the party stash. barbie that's because that's wrong. That's supposed to be 1.5. Oh, okay. That is better, but damn. Yeah, that's this's one one silver five copper.
00:30:38
Speaker
Fair enough. So, you know what, while we're here, they have chicken as well, right? Yeah. How much is, I'll get two servings of chicken, how much is that? Okay. ah For basic, it's one silver. Basic is one silver, I'll get two servings of that, so now it's four silver, four copper.
00:30:58
Speaker
and And...
00:31:07
Speaker
I think that is it. just what So you said you got two chicken? Maybe egg. Do they have eggs? Yeah they have chicken, they have eggs.
00:31:22
Speaker
You're carrying I'm carrying, uh, yes, I can carry all that. It's in the party stash, so we're considering it just sort of in a shared bag. And I'm and i'm nowhere near in Converse, like in the one... Because it's not going, it's not going in your inventory, it's going in the party stash. Oh, okay, cool. It can go in the snowmobile, it's fine. How much is eggs? Uh, hold on
00:31:50
Speaker
I'm organizing my four silver, nine copper.
00:32:05
Speaker
All right, I am just about... Does it have cookie wine? What? Does it have cookie wine? Oh yeah, there...
00:32:17
Speaker
I guess you could get cooking wine specifically. You could also just get regular wine. They probably don't have cooking wine as much as regular wine. Okay, I'll just get regular wine. That reminds me, what are the, there's like four aspects that you have to have in a meal to have it classified as a meal, yeah? Yes. Right. Hold on, let me set eggs up. Let me set eggs up real fast, because I need to make- Make eggs in its trying time.
00:32:43
Speaker
i How many eggs did you want to get? How many egg servings? get You can get two servings. How much is that? It's five copper each, so a total of one silver.
00:33:00
Speaker
so yeah you need In order to have a balanced meal, ah you need to have Um, at the very least, uh, you need to have a protein, a carb, a plant and a seasoning. So I believe Thub currently has a seasoning pouch. I believe so. i do Um, but if you, if you want wine, wine is also a seasoning. Um, so but the the thing is you can use more than one of each ingredient type. Um, and right that only, that only benefits you because that increases the level. Um.
00:33:38
Speaker
So did you want just basic, basically swill wine? Sure. Okay, that'll be ah one silver. And that can either involve you putting it in the food or drinking it alongside the food.
00:34:01
Speaker
That's what I tell myself every day, just a seasoning.
00:34:07
Speaker
Cool. Um, and then, and then this is a dumb question. Do they have like, is there like a soy sauce?
00:34:15
Speaker
Um,
00:34:20
Speaker
I guess, I don't even know. I guess that would just be like a seasoning. So I guess we'll call that, it's probably imported because I don't really have soybeans here. So I would say two silver.
00:34:42
Speaker
Ooh.
00:34:46
Speaker
christ spend a lot money Okay, so eight silver, four copper. Sure. Why does it say insufficient coins? Oh, because it's a breakdown. Make sure to label remove value, not type.
00:35:09
Speaker
Oh, okay.
00:35:16
Speaker
Cool. All right. Okay. And everything is now available in the party stash.
00:35:32
Speaker
only took us like 20 minutes. So that's, that's better than I expected. um Sorry. No, don't be sorry. It's fine. I'm glad you're, you know, buying things for recipes. How many days is it going to take to get to Nilbun?
00:35:46
Speaker
So, assuming you're taking the road, it is approximately... Wait, hold on, I rolled this down somewhere, right? I hope I did. Okay, yeah. If you take the roads and the river, it'll take you around nine days. If you cut straight across tundra to the ferry, or to the river port, then it'll take you around six days.
00:36:16
Speaker
And that's not accounting for if you, the nine days isn't accounting for if you like miss the ferry. um And how often does the ferry run? Ferry, it takes like, one, two, three, it's like three days. Yeah, like three or four days in each direction. So it basically runs like once every four day four or five days.
00:36:46
Speaker
Do we know what, like, I guess my question is, do we know what day it leaves so that we could theoretically plan to leave um at a time when we would hit the ferry? You would assume that it probably would normally arrive and leave on Mournelas of each week. But you don't actually know, because I don't think you've been to Wilco.
00:37:18
Speaker
I think it's safer to just take the road. Bastian, I don't think you've been north of America. Yeah, you haven't been north of America until like now. You've probably like stopped off at Nilbud, but I can't remember where you were when you were taken by the frost zombies. So I was somewhere. Yeah, you were probably that maybe be you were probably somewhere around the river port. OK. All right. So we're going to take the the road.
00:37:49
Speaker
I think that that means that we should have at least a week's worth of rations, even with Thub's cooking. Just in case. Yeah, I'm willing to burn a couple... How many of us are there? One, two, three, five. ah I'm willing to burn... I should also know, it'll take you around four days to get to Wilco in the first place. I'm willing to burn um two gold pieces to get one pack of rations for everyone.
00:38:19
Speaker
i only only need to eat and drink one-tenth spanish
00:38:32
Speaker
Really? It has to do with being in the Arctic. I mean, if we don't, we always lay down eating once or twice, and it was a fancy meal, so she's gonna eat. ah Oh my god. Gods. You just didn't, it just never came up, huh? How long has it been since via we met?
00:38:53
Speaker
It's been like two weeks, I think, at this point. There are two weeks together. Let me actually check. I think I marked it on the calendar. Morgan. I would never ask... Oh, yeah. It's not even been two weeks. To subject you to the insanity of an examination by the doctor over here. But I have so many questions.
00:39:17
Speaker
Should we be concerned about this or is this like a normal thing for you? I think that's the least of my problems. Right, but I mean... Yeah, the lack of eyelids feels like a far more... guess. Well, even so, I feel like we should solve problems one at a time, you know? I feel like I would like to acknowledge that thicket can't see and morgrim can never stop seeing. It's very hard to sleep. You know, if we if we put our heads together, we might just need some glasses.
00:39:53
Speaker
I'm not laughing at that joke. No. Okay. I'm laughing at that joke. Why is like trying not to crack a small smile at that? why Won't you laugh at me? No. Okay. Not fucking laughing. vi You can just hear why it's mouth moving. i my I am staring at him as much as I can without having eyes. You remove your blindfold just so your dead gray eyes can look at him.
00:40:26
Speaker
All right, while we're doing the shopping, can I buy some smokes here? No. Oh, right. While we're shopping. I was going to say, yeah I'd like to buy um some minor lectures of life. There are only three gold pieces each. I'm tempted to buy five, so we each have one. I can chip into that. I would also get my gold from Bastion. OK, so.
00:40:55
Speaker
You're each getting one minor elixir of life. I'm gonna buy two. I'm gonna buy one minor elixir of life and one minor healing potion. Okay, so... Are you all able to add those to your own Oh, I can't select my token. Right, you're not on the... Just open it with the... Open your character sheet.
00:41:25
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Smart.
00:41:34
Speaker
So. Gods, I'm poor. Even when I select it, it says select one token on the right. I just. I just dragged it over and then remove coins manually. Yeah, just drag it over and remove coins manually.
00:41:52
Speaker
ah But I'm also buying a healing potion, that's a good idea. okay Should we buy any bombs?
00:42:10
Speaker
Say bombs or bombs? You want it? It's yours, my friend. As long as you have enough rubies. Oh my god. I'm going to server mute him.
00:42:21
Speaker
That's not gonna stop him from being in the podcast, though. but You know what? I can take that sacrifice. If I don't have to listen to him now... Wait, oh my god. They have estrogen. What? Elixir of gender transformation? you
00:42:47
Speaker
is that It's what the is one goal whoa lesser elixir of gender transformation wait you're oh my god yeah look at the icon the icon is literally a bottle with the trans trans pride flag moderate great. I want to know everything Wait, you're telling me. Wait, hold on. The elixir must be taken every week and changes occur over the course of a year or more. That is so funny. What happens if you do the greater one, though? The greater that decrease that decreases the time that it takes. The elixir must be taken once and changes occur over the course of six months. Oh, that's nice. That is so funny.
00:43:33
Speaker
Okay, so I don't know how, but I feel like I need to include this somehow. Not necessarily for Bastion or Petra, but I will find a way. You can just give it to me and see what happens. What would happen if we gave it to... Guys, I don't know. If you gave it to Thub, I don't know what would happen either. I think he would just... You know what? He changes color.
00:44:18
Speaker
That's his new goal. He doesn't want to kill a god anymore. He just wants to collect all the genders. Like fucking gym badges? What the fuck?
00:44:30
Speaker
fucking like That is so amazing. What the fuck are we doing, guys? I don't know. We were trying to buy health potions. Health potions. Okay, health potions.
00:44:47
Speaker
Okay, health potions. Holy cow. I should probably buy health potions too, honestly. Don't have a card. I don't have a goal to buy health potions. How much is it again? ah For a minor potion, it's four. Uh-oh. I'm also going to buy a dread ampule, a lesser one. Love a dread ampule. What is a dread ampule? Dred ampules are liquid fear.
00:45:15
Speaker
Literally, yeah. It's a bomb that does mental damage and frightens the target on head. I feel like most bombs would frighten the target, but that's just me.
00:45:27
Speaker
Bombs are pretty awesome. As we learned from Croc-a-lock-el. Mm-hmm. Ah, Croc-a-lock-el. So. Um.
00:45:43
Speaker
Once you've added all those things to your inventories and subtracted the appropriate gold value. You should probably buy a health potion, by the way, or an Elixir of Life. Miner is more powerful than Lesser? No, Lesser is more powerful than Miner. They have a Lesser? Yes. I'll get a Lesser, Elixir of Life. Subtract the appropriate amount of gold and add that to your inventory.
00:46:13
Speaker
How much is it?
00:46:17
Speaker
A lesser elixir of life is 30 gold. Jesus, I cannot root that. How much is the miner? Four. Four gold? Okay, I'll buy two, I'll buy two minor elixir of lifes. Okay. Well, those are three gold. Those are, yeah, those are three gold each.
00:46:42
Speaker
So six gold total and go ahead and add those to your inventory. Wait, the one was the one was four gold. Healing potion. Oh. Well, you know, two elixir of life's nurse.
00:47:00
Speaker
Why it's racking his brain and where the fuck is money went?
00:47:06
Speaker
i don't I honestly don't remember, I think. love is walking staring at him as if As he drinks from the flask. As you just drink straight from one of your fancy ass bottles of imported rum. Exactly, yeah. Whatever could have happened. Yeah, why where'd all my money go?
00:47:28
Speaker
Why did you get to the next town is fed up and just sells the bottles back to people? yeah did you Wait, why did you add that to your inventory? The six bottles? Yeah. You did? I did, yeah. They are under consumables, I believe. Oh, no, they're consumables. There we go. steve steve shift from There we go. Six, six large balls.
00:47:52
Speaker
light bulb, not large bulb, light bulb, elbow. Definitely, like definitely an important distinction. Yes. OK.
00:48:05
Speaker
OK. And I would say you could buy cigars if you want. How much? I'd say like five copper, five copper. Damn. like All right. One.
00:48:24
Speaker
tobacco' is imported I can't, I'm not gonna buy it, nevermind. I got drinks to keep me company.
00:48:40
Speaker
why it feels less needed now that everyone's buying hell of potions.
00:48:45
Speaker
Damn. Um. Trying to support. Bastion doesn't put her self worth in that specific aspect of her life. Wyatt Fucker does. He says he glares that at the rest of you by health potion. And he should ah he should decide to take font of stamina the next next level. that big I wrote it. Yeah. Oh, OK. We need about font of stamina.
00:49:10
Speaker
No, because i was i I wasn't aware of that when I did level up. Well, yeah, it wasn't an accessible this level, but next level it will be. Ooh. Because you didn't get a class fee at this level. purchased everything that you wish to purchase? I have. I don't have enough rations, by the way, or no.
00:49:39
Speaker
I think I've got a pretty good amount of rations. Hell yeah. Okay, yeah, we're good. I think we're good. Okay.
00:49:49
Speaker
Cool.

Farewells and Departure

00:49:50
Speaker
Is there anything else that you want to do before leaving town? And are you leaving town today? Because it is currently 2.15 in the afternoon. How far away is our stop? Don't call her.
00:50:08
Speaker
Um, but it's like two days to Crocatux. And then is the chief still in town or did kind of just walked out of the ugly wolf and just, you haven't seen him since. Well, you haven't seen anything in a while, but you know, yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah. Um, a what did you say you were doing?
00:50:38
Speaker
I said I was gonna say by the dawn color before we leave, but that depends on if we're leaving now or later. Thicket, were you looking for the chief?
00:50:51
Speaker
I don't know. Well, yeah that's not a satisfactory answer. um Are you just hoping you didn't care? So where would you look?
00:51:07
Speaker
metaphorically. You know, I guess I would actually go ah with Bastion to Dawncallers. OK, so I feel like she might know. OK, so you you head over the two of you head over to Dawncallers and you you get to Dawncallers house. Well, are you going to her house or office?
00:51:38
Speaker
I think she'd probably be at the office. Probably. So I think I'd probably start there. Okay, so you head to Dawncaller's office. You get there and the assistant who you you helped out before is is back at work. She seems to be in much better spirits. She lets you know that Dawncaller is currently in her office with the chief.
00:52:07
Speaker
if you could just let her know we're here. Well, yes, of course. And she runs on back. Was this woman always French? She's a, she's a lion-dealth, yeah. Huh.
00:52:25
Speaker
She comes back a second later. Okay, come on, Zen, come on. And brings you into the office where you can see Don Collar and Brave Walker sitting across from each other at Don Collar's desk. And Brave Walker has a a mug in his hand and he's just going, this is the most amazing thing I've ever had in my entire life.
00:53:00
Speaker
We're getting ready to head out. Oh, good, good, good. and the chief ah holds out the mug to you thicket. Brother, you've got to try this. This is amazing. Oh, anytime brother. I'm gonna ah grab the mug and take a of like frost coffee. Little, little tangy.
00:53:33
Speaker
And Damn, it's pretty wild. And you can feel yourself sort of waking up from both the warmth and also just the liquid itself. Thicket has just tried coffee for the first time. What in the name of everything is that? Right? It's called coffee. Coffee? Is it amazing or what?
00:54:01
Speaker
I can't stop shaking. and I can't tell if it's from excitement or something else entirely. That might be the coffee. I could be.
00:54:17
Speaker
So you're just coming to say goodbye, is it? Thought we'd say goodbye before heading out. Bye. All right.
00:54:32
Speaker
I suppose goodbye and good luck then. I guess I won't be seeing you
00:54:52
Speaker
I don't know if that's physically possible. I think from you, it is. From the rest of your career, I don't know. No offense, thank you. No please. You might want to come by and give him a lecture. There's nothing I can do. i I gave up on trying to reason ages ago. um second Was there anything in particular that you needed?
00:55:16
Speaker
No, I just wanted to say goodbye to you both as we go off and undertake this journey. You know, ask for ah your well wishes and blessings. Just say goodbye to you one last time before we ah head out for who knows ours. Good luck, brother.
00:55:42
Speaker
Thank you, brother. You've got this to a degree that you don't even know. I sure hope so. He's going to give a nervous smile. I know so. I've seen it.
00:56:02
Speaker
hi So you have. I have indeed. Come back a alive, Guardian.
00:56:13
Speaker
I'll do my best. All right.
00:56:21
Speaker
Is there anything else, or are you heading out now? Yes, we're heading out. Yeah, I'm ready to head out. Okay. Rest of the gang, anything you want to do, anyone you want to talk to? Nope. Let's keep going about set. Okay. All right, then.
00:56:47
Speaker
Okay, in that case... All right, you head on back to the Greenhouse Guild. And yeah, Hetrix got the sled ready to go.
00:57:13
Speaker
All right. at them We're all ah set. Nothing else you want to do here? It's going to be a while before we come back. I think so. We don't have any side quests, do we?
00:57:29
Speaker
No, currently. White takes out the the the quest log and checks the distance markers. thank you sir You press J on your keyboard. um And you currently don't have anything now.
00:57:44
Speaker
Oh, um.
00:57:50
Speaker
Yeah, currently you don't have any tasks we go. Long, long drink from the flask. Cheers. Go safe journey. Go safe journey.
00:58:13
Speaker
So, you begin at approximately 3 p

Journey Challenges and Humor

00:58:21
Speaker
.m. is when you set off.
00:58:25
Speaker
So, Hetrick is driving. Who would like to be the motors? so I can also pedal. Okay, the two of you are at the motors. So,
00:58:44
Speaker
Go ahead and both of you make athletic strokes for me.
00:58:58
Speaker
That is a
00:59:07
Speaker
32, okay. Sebastian, you're you're struggling a little bit, but thankfully, Morgram is able to make up for your athletic shortcomings in this situation. And you're able to- I'm only marginally horrified that the burn victim is just like killing it. I will say, Morgram, you're like feeling surprisingly strong right now.
00:59:38
Speaker
um But yeah, it's around that day of travel, is there anything that anyone else would like to do as you just have downtime in the back of the snowmobile? ah Don't clarify how to do daily rituals.
01:00:02
Speaker
you can if you want to. Oh, I assume that's part of your your morning preparations that get you your spell slots back. Yeah. Yeah, sure. They But are there any, you know, downtime
01:00:31
Speaker
I can't just throw a can of spaghetti on the ground and be like, ooh, good fortune ahead.
01:00:40
Speaker
Hold on. No. It's so obvious that Cam has never even thought he might have to consider the question, can I throw a can of spaghetti on the ground and try and divine the future? Have you ever not had a character divination wizard concept of a guy who just cares about alphabet soup and just breaks alphabet soup on the ground and divines from that?
01:01:01
Speaker
No, I have not, but I wish I had. Yes, now you have. ah Okay, um so I guess that's your new Halloween character. Replace the old one. Yeah. So, yeah, that is a spell. I can't remember the name of it. Okay, okay, got it.
01:01:21
Speaker
You don't currently have it prepared, so. Okay, yeah. What would you all like to do with your downtime?
01:01:32
Speaker
There's nothing in particular that I'm gold. I cook. That is my thing. Unless you want me to make more snare traps. You haven't even finished the first snare trap. That's right. I do need to finish the personal trap. That's what I'm doing on my downtime. OK. Because cooking takes like an hour.
01:02:01
Speaker
And you have an entire day of downtime here. Okay. So, um cool. Thub is working on the snare trap. make ah This is your last day, so make a make a crafting check.
01:02:21
Speaker
Oh, listen, that's funny, damn. Hell yeah. Why did I just type in raft? I want craft, not raft. Jesus. OK. Oops, I actually made a crack. Well, I accidentally made a raft.
01:02:36
Speaker
That'd be fun. That would be that way. I would put that past bobb honestly. Great. So it is.
01:02:47
Speaker
ah Finishing the item. I would solidly say that is a
01:03:06
Speaker
Jacob. Oh, sorry. ah That's a total of the natural 20s plus 1131. 31, okay, that is definitely a critical success there. so you can now, you can choose to finish the item and pay the item's cost, or you can keep working on it for additional days.
01:03:42
Speaker
so you can either pay the why why am I having such a difficult time finding
01:04:12
Speaker
costs so You can either gold 5 silver to finish it now, or you can keep working on it to reduce the cost. You want to just finish it?
01:04:39
Speaker
I'll just finish it. Okay. Oh wait, hold on. Oh, maybe that's one. Oh, okay. I see. I see. I see. Okay. There we go. So craft.
01:04:52
Speaker
Cool. So I guess you now have a spike snare. There you go. Yay. Now what?
01:05:09
Speaker
There you go, that was what you did with your day. So what is Thicket doing with his day? I guess I'll also do some crafting because I'm not really sure. I was just looking at like a cheat sheet for like downtime activities and not a whole lot can be done. I can't make money right now, can I? No. Yeah, so I'm just going to do some crafting. OK.
01:05:34
Speaker
<unk> I am going to try to craft snare. Are you even trained in crafting? Oh god, I don't think so. The answer is no. ah Nor do you have snare crafting, which is a feat you require in order to craft snares. Oh no, what can I do right now? You know, that's a great question.
01:06:02
Speaker
Um.
01:06:06
Speaker
Got nothing new to talk to cranberry about. ah We already had our conversation last session.
01:06:20
Speaker
Let me see. I'm going to play Jax with ah with my caltrops. OK, OK. Um.
01:06:33
Speaker
Okay, so I will say something else that is an option for you as a spellcaster is you can craft scrolls.
01:06:44
Speaker
Don't I need a feat for that? ah No, because this I think what I'm going to say is that for scrolls, no, because it doesn't
01:07:02
Speaker
Yeah, no, you're right, because it is a magic item. Yeah. Yeah, never mind then.
01:07:15
Speaker
So, I guess... You know what? Is Thub still cooking? Sure, Thub is... Well, Thub has been working on his snare all day, and so this is this is the beginning of the journey. Gotcha, gotcha.
01:07:32
Speaker
I do have this waffle iron that I haven't gotten to use yet. Do you want to start practicing with your waffle iron? I'm going to start practicing with my waffle iron. What are you going to figure out how to use that? Because you don't have flour or anything. Oi, Thub. Have you got anything I can put into this waffle iron here? Uh, OK. Let me see what I have here. Um. I.
01:08:00
Speaker
I'm sure they were a fucking thing. I just need to keep the party stash.
01:08:09
Speaker
You know what I will say? well you're When you're on the general map here, you can just double click on the little blue marker there. And that'll bring up the
01:08:27
Speaker
A steak, baby. Have you tried that? Not bad. I was thinking we could put the potatoes in there and make hash browns. Oh, I like the way you think.
01:08:46
Speaker
Okay, so thicket is working on making hash browns for eight straight hours. Cool. i'm tired i I am terrified. I am terrified with a knife and I cut potatoes very slowly. the entire No, you're busy working on a snare. Thicket is the one cutting potatoes and he is blind. Oh, okay. how How are my slices? How are my slices?
01:09:15
Speaker
You know what? Make a crafting check. Oh, no.
01:09:25
Speaker
Please be it funny. Oh, I know I'm doing downtime. ah Sixteen. Sixteen. You know, they are you manage not to cut yourself. Yeah. And they feel like slices.
01:09:42
Speaker
All right. Yeah, I'm going to I'm going to put those in the waffle iron. Cool. You start waffling some potato slices. Why? What are you doing? He's going to set up a ritual circle. um And quick question, he's going to try and retrain class feet. He's going to start the process of trying to retrain a class. OK.
01:10:06
Speaker
Which feed are you trying to retrain? I'm going to retrain radiant infusion to something like directed channel.
01:10:20
Speaker
okay um slow me let me open another I believe it's a week of downtime so a week in this case is five days okay
01:10:43
Speaker
Okay, so yeah,
01:10:57
Speaker
make sure to mark that somewhere, obviously. now Okay, and so Thicket has been making hash browns all day. I'm gonna say you spend approximately three hours cutting potatoes, and then another three hours trying to figure out how to heat up the waffle iron, because Thub is too focused on making snares to make fire.
01:11:21
Speaker
um
01:11:31
Speaker
know, make the waffle iron work. um And eventually, but by the time the snowmobile stops and Hetrick says, okay, so we can either keep on going through the night or we can stop here and sleep.
01:11:49
Speaker
It's up to you. need to rest yeah I mean, yeah resting is good.
01:11:57
Speaker
Okay. Let's stop here for the night then. Let's make camp. All right, so Thicket, you've made your hash, you've made your the start of your hash browns at the very least. Thub, are you cooking or are you guys just having hash browns and rations tonight? Got me.
01:12:19
Speaker
I don't know. Does anyone else want food?
01:12:28
Speaker
You know what? Yeah. I'm gonna make the thing that I've been planning on making. Could could you hear me sighing? yes yeah okay i could not but the silence spoke volumes i mean yes i couldn't actually hear you sigh but i just assumed that you were sighing okay so thicket you've made an entire i thought what do you realize like you if you leave them outside that's like instant hash browns right there
01:13:01
Speaker
so it is They, uh, we're going to start fucking Kellogg's out in the middle of nowhere. Unless Thumb wants to use these hash browns, we can say that's what you do. I mean, if you got, I'm not going to use them for, for what I'm making, but if you guys want Yeah, let's just freeze them. Okay. So let me just turn those potatoes into frozen hash browns. Um, all of the potatoes. Yes.
01:13:33
Speaker
Okay, I guess he did spend eight hours on them. Yes. oh plus there's only born poy potatoes can really do be ah Well, one quantity of potatoes is one sack. Okay, so you've got frozen hash browns. So what are you making them?
01:14:03
Speaker
making some chicken stock. So you're using one, one the soy sauce and the rice and mixing that together. Oh shit, we need sugar.
01:14:27
Speaker
We can say you've got that in your seasoning pouch. I got the berries. I got the fucking berries. It's good to know. You've got the berries. Perfect. No. Sugar. I refuse to be sold off some berries. That sounds so fucking cursed. He's complaining about him having to make it on his cooking show, and he's like, I don't want to invite berries into the machine. Yeah, literally.
01:14:49
Speaker
No, I please. I got to eat that. That's enough. Well, I have just eight grams of moon sugar, right? Yeah. Yeah. No, I have that in me. I have I have sugar in my seasoning pouch.
01:15:13
Speaker
We sort of we sort of boil off all the alcohol.
01:15:24
Speaker
bread to make breadcrumbs and I use one serving of pork and I fry up the pork. You're using your wine. Yes. um They're using sugar that's in your seasoning pouch. What level is your seasoning pouch? Right. What level is my seasoning pouch? That's a great question.
01:16:07
Speaker
Item one. It is a level one. Okay.
01:16:14
Speaker
okay and one egg yes one egg um okay uh and then one pork yes uh okay next also one bread one bread make bread crumbs out of the bread i guess the frozen bread okay you take I would say since you're just doing crumbs, you can only use one of the seven uses of this bread. Sure. Okay.
01:17:04
Speaker
All right, is that everything?
01:17:28
Speaker
Holy shit, okay, so 31. Okay, so you are very successful at making what you're making? Yeah. what what what does What does everyone end up with here? Okay, so what we end up with is a is a bowl of rice. On top of it is an egg, sort of like egg omelet-y kind of thing that is infused with the chicken stock, the the soy sauce and the wine that we that we used earlier. And on top of that is some fried pork.
01:18:03
Speaker
right, pork pieces. This is this is a real dish. So it's called katsu with like an um yeah ask. Yeah. in In real life, it's it is. It's called katsu don my gosh. That's my favorite. ah That's my favorite. Minnesota dish ever katsu don.
01:18:30
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. For Minnesota. From Minnesota. I couldn't even think of a city in Minnesota. So yeah. OK. I was going to ask. So you've made some presents you all with this absolutely elaborate dish. Oh, my God. And
01:19:01
Speaker
It is really tasty. So, remind me again. What the fuck are we doing? It does not have a vegetable in it. So, it unfortunately cannot save you as a full meal. Right, so... So, in real life, in real life, they usually they usually cook the egg with like onion in it, but I don't have onion. Yeah. so unfortunately mechanically this is not a full meal um i mean if we if but it tastes good you know what if if if we say you know what i i'm just going to decide to have some carrot with it now it's a full meal
01:19:51
Speaker
like in the thing so raw carrot You just pass out a raw carrot to everybody you like yeah ah yeah likedoly chad for its so It's it's not even involved in the dish at all I just go I just go I just go all right over once a care take me for a rabbit i said as i bit it yeah You guys not eat ethnic food like ever
01:20:18
Speaker
Jacob just doesn't eat vegetables. I eat vegetables. I have a fridge full of spinach and carrots and shit. If you eat a bento box, you have a slice of... Yeah. But no, there isn't. It's just...
01:20:37
Speaker
Well, I mean, that's for, that's for like a bento box. Like, this is just a regular, this is just like a Donbury bowl. We, Jacob, I don't speak it. And there is usually onion in it. I just don't have onion on me. Jacob, I think the entire time I was staying at your place, I don't think a single vegetable passed my lips. Really? You didn't feed me a single vegetable like this? No, no, we had, we had mushrooms, but those aren't vegetables as a fungus, whatever. We made mushrooms stew. That counts.
01:21:06
Speaker
That counts. No. ah with that exactly it all lie I was with you. I bought a tub of spinach with you. But we didn't use it. We didn't use it. But I bought it because I was going to use it. And then we didn't end up using it because we ended up keep eating. We kept eating out. No, it was because I was ill. and Because I'm fucking Bucky's. Oh, yeah. Bucky's. Anyways, continuing with Pathfinder.
01:21:34
Speaker
um it's very tasty this this katsu donberry yum taste not bad you know what i still give it a two out of ten
01:22:02
Speaker
I've actually definitely lurched the apples. If you feed me one, I'll literally have an anaphylactic reaction. Good to know, good to know. So, Morgrim. Best of taking notes. So, Morgrim. Yes. I think this is the first time that you're eating since your transformation. Yes. Like, for real eating. And it's odd. Your tongue feels...
01:22:32
Speaker
very dry all the time. In general, your whole mouth feels dry all the time, um which, you know, is not a pleasant sensation. um However, the food helps. It helps your mouth feel less ashy, even though, comparatively, apparently, to your body temperature, it is freezing cold.
01:23:04
Speaker
You know it's not frozen, but comparatively to the inside of your mouth, this food is cold.
01:23:16
Speaker
Still tastes pretty good though. I thought you were going to tell me that I couldn't taste it and it was just burnt ashes or something like that. That once was going to be a sad you can revelation of truth. You can taste it. It's definitely, you know, the flavors are a little bit muted.
01:23:35
Speaker
um but and the lack of saliva definitely does make it a little difficult to eat but
01:24:03
Speaker
Yeah, I'm assuming, I'm assuming washes are a thing unless you're unless you're just having cranberry do all the go ahead and try to convince the party that they can trust cranberry again.
01:24:26
Speaker
Thank you, Optimus Prime in the background. I know what I'm beating.
01:24:33
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. Okay. So who's first? I'll go first. Okay. Morgan followed by Wyatt. Hyena Beryl. Morgan followed by Wyatt. Followed by a third Bastion. Followed by Thub followed by Thicket. Followed by Hetrick.
01:25:02
Speaker
Alright, so each of you takes a couple hours to watch throughout the night. And overall, it's very calm. down. The wind has calmed down.
01:25:30
Speaker
But overall, It is a decent calm night. All we ask for. So you'll wake up around nine thirty in the morning.
01:25:49
Speaker
Is there anything that you'd like to do before taking off for the day? Yeah, I'm going to puke. All right, so pukes.
01:26:00
Speaker
He's telling me you're doing that outside? If not, I shove him outside.
01:26:08
Speaker
They gave him some food poisoning. You just see, Morgan, you just see Thub starting to like, yeah yeah yeah and you're just like, knock the door open, just grab them by the neck and just curl them. Like, over your shoulder, you just grab them and...
01:26:28
Speaker
They eat your vegetables. They eat your vegetables. I mean, I mean, I want to remind you guys that that's how I pee. So yeah, actually. puking and That is the thing. Y'all have noticed that that's even worse that you've got to do that right
01:26:58
Speaker
You are the one peeing in front of everyone. Well, I'm choosing! Morgan, Morgan, lock stuff out of the so snowmobile. um Is it the entire time he's just pissing in front of because it's like normal in their culture? Or do you think he does it for like kicks?
01:27:24
Speaker
Oh god. I don't think there's anything normal about this. You just hear it from the other side of the wall. Yes, both!
01:27:35
Speaker
It's both.
01:27:38
Speaker
um I need a drink. I will say, fic it. Unfortunately, due to your heightened sense of hearing, ah you do hear every droplet of vomit hit the snow outside. Oh, why is it chunky?
01:27:57
Speaker
Wait, wait. Do I hear something moving? So like, it is, biologically speaking, and then why, if this is, how does he defecate that in that case? Does it come out the side or is it like- The same way. Same way. The vomit. The vomit. Why it will- There's only one hole. Yeah. Why it will, uh, will inform the party. That's the case as well. I feel like we know. I don't feel like we have to. You will go into some more biological details. Yeah. So, so, so listen, this is what happens, right? So the poop dilutes, it diluted to the pee. so it completely dissolves and then and then okay so it's like i'm yeah so it's like you know there's um there's kind of like there's kind of like an active taste there but uh he is server muted currently um so uh all right so um yeah and then that's how that works
01:29:05
Speaker
Great. So yeah, you all have your days ahead of you.
01:29:17
Speaker
So. Feed two. Who's piloting this time? Haptrik is obviously piloting, but like who's. Paddle.
01:29:28
Speaker
Murgrim is also peddling Bastion. Are you also going to peddle again? or I want to try and use some downtime to learn how to operate the sled, if possible. That's that's possible. So who would like to be the other peddler?
01:29:47
Speaker
I suppose I'll do it. Lovely. So, Morgram and Thicket, both of you make athletics checks, please. And Bastion, we'll say this'll take... ah We'll say it'll take five days for you to become functionally like able to replicate, but then it'll take an additional week to become trained. Okay. Okay, so...
01:30:21
Speaker
Morgram gets a 29, Thicket gets a 14. Okay, so once again, Morgram is carrying all of this. um Thicket's legs are just not nearly as powerful as
01:30:48
Speaker
And around, halfway through the day, around noon-ish. You guys come across a croquetook shop. Do you want to stop at croquetooks? I keep paddling and someone tells me not to stop.
01:31:20
Speaker
once. Going twice. Okay. You are going past- Oh wait, wait, wait, wait. Do you think he'd buy these wend, these wend claws?
01:31:36
Speaker
You don't know. i just Wait, let's ask. Okay. Okay. Stop the car. I mean, the sled mobile. You stop outside of Crocodux and yet you head on in.
01:31:52
Speaker
and you're you're greeted once again by by old mate Crocatook. Oh, hello, my friends. Welcome back, welcome back. What can Crocatook do for you today? Do you buy these? I pull out a wet claw, boy. Let me take a look, let me take a look. And he takes a look. Non-magical.
01:32:17
Speaker
Lower grade silver.
01:32:21
Speaker
I'm willing to buy, I'll say, for... 50 gold pieces each. No, never mind. Never mind! That is about the best deal that you are going to get anywhere, my friend. No, definitely not. I sell mine. You sell yours? Okay. Come on! So each of you gets 50 gold per one point. Why it has... Oh gods. Why it has no spine. He sells two of the three he has. Okay.
01:32:51
Speaker
He's 100 gold, I guess. Yes. He has no spine. that's
01:32:57
Speaker
That's... He has 100 gold for that. He sees him, he grows, like final cell mine. Lovely, lovely. And there's any purchases you wish to make, my friends. That's less than 50 gold.
01:33:14
Speaker
um well that is the question it is exactly 50 gold i have the hat of the the hat of the maid this old this little friend here and he pulls out uh an alchemical crossbow only 25 gold infuse your crossbow bolts with the power of potions and bombs
01:33:45
Speaker
Take it we'd also need the potions and bombs? You would also need bombs, yes. Which I do, of course, sell! Blind pepper bomb! Only 40. Well, I can't afford both, but I may take you up on that alchemical Caraspo. Loveli, Loveli, that is 25 points. What do you have... What do you have cheap? Cheap? Got poisons and bombs.
01:34:12
Speaker
And for poisons and bombs, I don't have a whole massive amount of alchemical, but I've got got your basic things, alchemists, fire, red ampoules, bottled lightning. a I have cooperative waffles, five gold each. What pressure is a cooperative waffle? It is a waffle. They are waffles, and you eat them.
01:34:39
Speaker
You, you split them, you can split them with a friend and then you, able to help each other out. They they let you use the follow, beat they let you use follow the expert, um, with a bonus for 24 hours. If I eat one of those, I'll get better with me iron.
01:35:09
Speaker
I need to do this. They are only five gold? All right, five gold for you. And he hands you a pack, little little little pack with with two cooperative waffles in it. So there you go, you've got your cooperative waffles and you can share those with one other person to link you to link you together. um And that's five gold. Remind me how much two lesser alchemist fire and one lesser um
01:36:02
Speaker
Okay, I'm gonna take those and then one dread ampule is that also three uh i believe so uh dread ampule lesser i'm assuming yes it is three yes okay okay so are you adding those yourself or do you want me to add them? should be 12 gold in total after the 25 for the thingamajig Okay, so 25 for the alchemical and you said one dried ampule? One dried ampule, two alchemist fire, and one acid. Okay.
01:36:48
Speaker
Two alchemist fire, and one acid flask. There you go.
01:37:00
Speaker
Okay.
01:37:04
Speaker
Anything else I can get you, friends? Gun drift decks, silver sheen, flask of fellowship. I have any
01:37:25
Speaker
to detect A big frying creep big flying creature. I mean, fucking the very least, I probably have a scroll of some kind that I can sell you. It depends sort of on what you're looking for. Are you looking for a scroll or are you looking for an actual item because I can always sell you something like a harpoon.
01:38:02
Speaker
A gun or is it a it's the harpoon? A harpoon, you you throw it, it's like a job. You can you can Fire, if you have a fire on, which I do, of I don't think you have an eight points like energy rifle, do you? And no, I still very clear of the eight points. Yeah, they are and not my type of people. Okay, fair enough.
01:38:40
Speaker
They don't tell anybody's type of people. I think that's like the whole point. Yes, I think that is the role thing. yeah You are correct. correct
01:38:50
Speaker
so So what exactly are you looking for here? But just an out-of-game question. We covered Arcane, Divine, and... Do we cover Primal? Sorry, Primal spells too? Or our party doesn't cover that? None of you have... None of you have Arcane. Oh, sorry, Primal. Okay, whoops. So, I think Thicket is Primal, so none of you have Arcane. Got it, okay. That's the only one you don't currently have any spells for.
01:39:24
Speaker
But also, there and you know, unlike abomination vaults, cantrips don't allow you to access spells of other traditions. OK.
01:39:37
Speaker
We is there like a spell, a primal or divine spell you can use to like bring down a creature so it fights on the ground instead of in the air? Don't sell any. Hold on. Colby, do you remember the name of the spell?
01:39:51
Speaker
that that does that, that brings things to the ground. Oh, Earthbind, I believe. Earthbind.
01:39:57
Speaker
and I do actually have some scrolls of Earthbind, but I can also, I can sell you a rune of Earthbinding, which you can etch onto to a weapon, or I can etch onto a weapon for you,
01:40:23
Speaker
So if you want a scroll, scroll of Earthbind will cost you of money. not How much are you counting? of A scroll is 30. Ooh, I can't afford that.
01:40:51
Speaker
Birdie, you can't afford that. I can, though, right? All right. All right. I'll cover for you on this. I buy. They get a scroller fine for 30 gold. OK, so. Wait. Before we make this purchase. Yeah. Pick it.
01:41:21
Speaker
Hi. You fucking read scrolls. I can feel the energy. Lucky for you. My squirrels all come in. He unfurls the scroll. Braille. Oh, boy. Has that been invented yet?
01:41:42
Speaker
You read Skrulls. Thicket is able to, in general, he is able to use Skrulls. Right. If not, I hope Dick take them to you. All right. all I spent 30 gold pieces to get Thicket that Skrullr fine. OK. Well, we're here. Can I have... Thicket is now encumbered. The gentleman attached the fear gem to my um my blade.
01:42:11
Speaker
um One moment. That's a talisman, right? i Yes. Okay.
01:42:25
Speaker
Sure, I can affix this for you if you would like. I should note, affixing a talisman takes 10 minutes so long as you have a repair kit. No skill checks required. So you could also just borrow Hetrix repair kit.
01:42:40
Speaker
I also have a repair kit, so I can just do that. Never mind. You can just do that yourself. Don't, don't, don't, don't spend money with Crocodoke for that. Sorry, I thought that that was like a ah thing that you had to have done. No. I can, I can do you're able to do pretty much all of these things that NPCs do for you for yourselves.
01:43:08
Speaker
Okay, so Thicket, I see you have managed to become unencumbered. I moved stuff to my backpack. Ah, that'll do it.

Mysterious Shirt and Flask Purchase

01:43:16
Speaker
Wait, why does Thicket have a change shirt right now? Why do I have a change shirt? Yeah, you have a change shirt. Why do I have a change shirt? I don't know. I think you picked that up somewhere. Maybe?
01:43:31
Speaker
I don't remember where I would have gotten
01:43:40
Speaker
Oh, I think, you know what it is. I think you took it from the, uh, the Dracosim cultist. It was a town guard. Oh, you know what? I think you're right. Oi, uh, you want this shirt? I'm going to, I'm going to put the, uh, the change shirt on the table. Regular roll change shirt. Uh, sure. I suppose I can buy that from you. Uh, for gold. For gold? You got it. Lovely.
01:44:11
Speaker
All right. There you go.
01:44:17
Speaker
Is there anything else that I can get for any of you? You sure? I think this one might interest you, my friend. And he holds out to why he holds up a metal drinking flask.
01:44:41
Speaker
from four inches wide, 10 inches tall, screw top you pour from it, it convincing after you pour someone a drink.
01:45:12
Speaker
I'm reading it right now. Hold on I'm on the reading item description. I'm on the reading item description. I mean, yeah, it's telling you what it does so Or simple metal cuz okay The GM can allow the disallow the flax because it doesn't make sense in the room for you to pull out a flask and start pouring
01:45:36
Speaker
um if drinks are inappropriate for the occasion or if your target is absolutely not interested in sharing a drink with you damn it so you can't force someone like here take a drink and like you just murdered my family please don't hurt me and also of note that these drinks uh are entirely social they will not intoxicate anyone and they do not alleviate thirst ah but it can basically taste however, you however you want. Awesome. You know, like whatever whatever the target would most like. So quite literally, it will taste like whatever the target wants it to be. There is why it hears this information and he immediately dismisses it. He's like, what's the point of having a drink if you can't get fucking getting a fucked up by it, right?
01:46:29
Speaker
But a part of him kind of pulls towards that as sort of almost a lifeline being thrown to him. How much is it? Why it asks? 25 gold.
01:46:49
Speaker
Very carefully counts out 25 gold pieces. And he buys it. Excellent, my friend. Very good deal, very good deal. There you go, Alaska Fellowship. Thank you. All right. murder you. And they're like, no, please don't. I don't want a drink.

Travel and Myths Debunked

01:47:16
Speaker
I mean. everybody Everybody back in the snowmobile before we purchase anything else. Anything else?
01:47:33
Speaker
hug everybody else and I... Is the soap lavender scented or made of lavender? Or is it soap for wash and lavender?
01:47:54
Speaker
I love the idea of soap specifically. He cannot hear you as I am already out the door. So you all get back in the snowmobile and keep on going for the remainder of the day. um So it's around 6 p.m. by the time you you call it for the night. Unless you wish to keep going. At this pace, are we going to make it at the speed that we think we're going to make it?
01:48:21
Speaker
Yeah, you're going at a standard pace right now. Then we'll stop and sleep. OK, stop and sleep. Any any other cooking?
01:48:35
Speaker
OK, you all have rations tonight. Yeah, rations. All right, so. Same watch cycles last night. Sure. Sounds good to me. So.
01:48:52
Speaker
It's an early morning. You all wake up around 5 a.m. As the sun is pressing the horizon.
01:49:10
Speaker
Who are our drivers today? I'm shocked. Who else would like to pedal?
01:49:23
Speaker
Yes, it's just me. I mean, it was well, too. OK. OK, so both Thub and Morgrem are pedaling. Both of you make athletics would you have also been doing so retraining of your feet yesterday? Yeah, I believe so. Do you want to continue that today? Yes.
01:49:53
Speaker
So you've done, what did y'all get for your rolls? 25. Thub. Oh, sorry. What rules was this? Athletics.
01:50:19
Speaker
18. 18. All right. Well, Murgram, you're once again pretty much carrying this. ah Not pretty much. You outright are carrying this again. You're becoming very tired um after three days of doing a vast majority of the work. At least Thub does a little bit better than Thicket and Bastion, but yeah.
01:50:47
Speaker
All right. That is another day down. And, uh, as you're hitting a bend in the road,
01:51:10
Speaker
of people. but I can't tell what a little far away and the snow has picked up a bit, but, uh, to be able to stop, I'm just blow past him.
01:51:21
Speaker
Looks like a group of maybe five or six.
01:51:36
Speaker
you get closer, Hetrix says, looks like they're getting out of the way. They look like Nuntan. We're probably fine. Oh, Nuntan. Lovely. And yeah.
01:51:51
Speaker
Patrick just keeps on keeps on piloting you past and bastard, you can you can see on one of the port holes that it looks like a like a non-town hunting party.
01:52:13
Speaker
for them. Can't wait to eat its liver. That'll kill you. Yes. I'm glad someone has read the article. Is that is that a thing? Yeah, it will kill overdose. yeah Yeah. On what? I think vitamin C. Oh, it's vitamin it's vitamin A, vitamin A. That's kind of insane, actually. OK. The more you know. You say Nontan don't have that around one more day's worth of travel.
01:53:02
Speaker
Do you want to set down or do you want to keep going? Wait, what time did you say it was? One p.m. Okay. Y'all got an early start to this day. Okay. um Do we keep going?
01:53:18
Speaker
because I feel like it'd be weird to stop in the middle of the day and rest, yeah. We would mess up our cycle. Okay. So, uh, you keep on going. Um, so I guess, uh, Thub and Morgan, are you switching out with other drivers or are you staying in the hot seat? Okay. So who's switching in for Thub? I can do it. Okay.
01:53:49
Speaker
um
01:53:56
Speaker
I'm going to forcibly remove Morgram from the Thicket, whichever one is closer, into the seat.
01:54:09
Speaker
Do I, I'm i'm literally, do I even, can I even physically pedal this? Cause I have, I have less than like, I'm going to stick blocks onto your feet so that you can be tall enough if need be. we're already ahead of travel for the day. So.
01:54:49
Speaker
by telling him technique? Can you please? Give an eight? You know, I, we'll, we'll consider this emotional encouragement. Sure. ah You can, you can, you can aid, but not with athletics. um I would say you can aid with intimidation. I guess, yeah, it depends on how you're trying to motivate him.
01:55:13
Speaker
I was just going to, uh, help his technique so he doesn't pull muscle or something. Okay. Um, I guess we'll call that survival. Okay, cool. Um, so yeah, both Wyatt and, uh, Bastion make athletics checks, please. 18 survival. 18 for survival. Oh, oh, oh!
01:55:38
Speaker
So, 17 for me. 13. 13, 17. Yeah, no, y'all are, y'all are struggling. Even with Morgrem's help, Wyatt, you're, whew, you are not in shape for this. Yes. It's all the alcohol, man. You do manage to buy, buy, like, it's, it's way dark at this point. It's like 9 PM, but you actually do manage to pull into Wilco.
01:56:07
Speaker
Oh, that being said, Wyatt and Bastion are both fatigued now. What does that do? Fatigued gives you a minus on penalty to your AC and saving throws, and you cannot use exploration activities while traveling. But you recover after a full night's rest, so. We can get that rest.
01:56:36
Speaker
And basically what that means is you cannot do any more piloting today. Sounds good. Let's take a nap. Okay, so you pull into Wilco. not seem like there's much of a night scene. um You know, it's looks like it's mostly houses.
01:57:03
Speaker
um
01:57:06
Speaker
You don't even really, you don't even really see like a tavern or anything. At first glance, at least, but you're still on the outskirts. So what are you, what are you doing here? We want to just make camp.
01:57:27
Speaker
Okay. And I go in and like, you know. And and perhaps get an in. Is that too late for that? Are are you trying to find an inn or are you just making camp? Outside the walls? There aren't walls. Oh, outside the outskirts?
01:57:53
Speaker
This is a question that I'm assuming you're asking the party. Yes, correct. I am. Well, I mean, I figured that we could camp or if you want to find an end, we can try and find an end, but looks small.
01:58:11
Speaker
All right. Camping out here. OK. So Hatrick goes open spot.
01:58:41
Speaker
And there's a fucking hermaphane attack tonight I will
01:59:01
Speaker
Hittrick took a last watch. It's around seven in the morning by the time y'all wake up. Hittrick is like, yeah, quite night. We had a couple of town guards come by a little bit ago, but they just wanted to know who we were. I told them just that we were travelers coming through town looking to catch the ferry and they were okay with that.
01:59:26
Speaker
How many days till the ferry will be here? I don't know. I haven't gone to check well i just thought the guards we had a guess of what day it might be here and i was wondering what i didn't ask the guards and i don't know i've never been here before currently it is
02:00:01
Speaker
Well, I'm going to go mosey on down to the fairy port if anyone would like to come along.

Arriving in Wilco: Ferry and Fishing Plans

02:00:10
Speaker
I'll come with. So you are the worst that can happen. So upon stepping out of the snowmobile and starting to head around, it definitely is a dawn last. You don't see anyone working right now. Everyone's just kind of lazing about.
02:00:30
Speaker
um You know, vibing through the day. Vibing around in the morning with their cups ah cups of frost coffee on their porches. And it definitely seems like this town has a much more casual vibe than Gallandot. And it definitely doesn't seem like they've been dealing with Hermanthony attacks at first glance. In general, people seem much less stressed here.
02:01:01
Speaker
And...
02:01:08
Speaker
and foremost over towards the river sort of
02:01:47
Speaker
I'm gonna knock on their door. You knock on the door and nothing happens.
02:01:57
Speaker
unfortunate. It's a business. You can just open the door. we're open you can just Open the door. open the door. And on the other side, you see a cloud veil halfling woman just uh, lounging behind a desk, just looks at you. Hey, were you the one that was just knocking? I'm not the brightest of bulbs. Fucking clearly. What, what do you want? You don't look like you're from around here. We're not. Uh, what date is the fairy come in? It should be coming back tomorrow. Excellent. Thank you. Great.
02:02:55
Speaker
Is there anything else you want or you're just here for the ferry? I mean, do you folks have any work for today? I mean, you can work if you want to. I can sell you a permit. Normally we don't have a whole lot of people working on a dauntless. So I'm sure the the waters will be open for you.
02:03:22
Speaker
I'm going to look at the the rest of the chaps.
02:03:29
Speaker
Oh, I have a spell for this. Is that a yes? Okay. So... Then I'll have to rent you a boat.
02:03:54
Speaker
Alright. Let's see... How much is a boat, Reynolds? Eh, I'd say six copper for the day should probably cover you. Okay. Not gonna be a particularly big bow. You might honestly need two if all five of you is a gauntlet.
02:04:15
Speaker
How many of us are going?
02:04:22
Speaker
That's a great question. I'm looking for my spell list. See if I have anything that has like fish or creatures about a hundred feet. Raise fish the spell. Oh, yeah.
02:04:42
Speaker
Okay, so how many of you are going fishing? I will go to the simple question. ah Okay, so Morgan Bastion, okay, sorry, I couldn't hear you. Morgan Bastion, Thicket, Wyatt, Thob, are you going fishing?
02:05:12
Speaker
Cool. All right. Hell yeah. I will rent one of the boats. Sorry, what was that? One of the boats will be rented by me. You're gonna have to say again. Sorry about that. I will be renting one of the boats. Okay, so you will need two boats, because each boat can only hold three people. I understand. I have committed to renting a boat.
02:05:38
Speaker
Okay, so Bastion pays the six copper for one boat. Who's paying for the other boat? How do we just do it on the shore? You're not gonna find much of anything on the I'm on spending six copper right now. I can pay for the other boat.
02:06:02
Speaker
I was doing it already. Okay. Okay. Wyatt does it um as Thub shows an apple in his mouth or something. Good question. bla um Do you have change? Yeah. Yeah.

Definitely, you can definitely feel that like this is a business this is like the entire thing that the town does so you're assuming there must be fish. um okay but uh yeah this lady she doesn't seem like she's trying to scam you or anything but like she definitely is not necessarily pleased that you're in here on her on her day off oh If it's her day off, then why is she in there? Yeah! It's a place of business! Yeah! You're like, this is like going to a Wendy's, and the person's like, I don't wanna- Listen, I'm a guild master, I don't wanna be here right here, but I gotta be. It's your vacation, you idiot! Man, what the hell's wrong with you? Oh my god, okay. So it's- I'm so sorry. So we need the fishing tackle, is there anything else that we need? No, all you need is the fishing tackle.

02:11:13
Speaker
Just fishing stuff, man. Just tell us everything we need at once and let us go. Fragging it out. You don't want to be here. I don't want to be here. I just want to go fishing. I will say something you do get the inclination of is that rentals are not common here. It looks like you're borrowing other people's gear.
02:11:38
Speaker
like This is a fishing town. You get the feeling that everyone just owns their own gear. Is this stolen? She's slightly less annoyed now. ah Thicket, how are you feeling?
02:12:00
Speaker
I'm very glad that she's picked who she has in her boat, in her boat, and she's mentally making bets on how long it will take for Thub and Wyatt to kill each other in the other boat. Fair. um and why You say each other like he has a chance. Say what? Wyatt, how are you feeling? Honestly, he's just glad to finally do something from his hometown, you know? There you go. Yeah.
