Introduction: Dakota, Jake, and Eevee
00:00:11
Speaker
Hello everyone and welcome to a Path Through Time. I am Dakota, your PM, your DM, your GM. And sitting to my left is somebody who hates Eevee. How could you? Listen man, I got a reason. I just got... Well, I just got jumped by three evolutions. Oh, you actually did. Wait, that actually makes sense. Yeah. Two of them destroyed my mind. The other one was a smack talking me the whole time. It's me, Jake.
00:00:40
Speaker
So where we left off was you ended up falling unconscious after Abyss and Bree were using psychic-ish question mark attacks on you. Some sort of move. After I made the boss get really mad at me. Yeah, after you... Trash talks. Yeah, after you made Selena very mad. A disaster.
00:01:05
Speaker
So, where we're gonna wait, where we're gonna leave off is not exactly where you probably think we will.
Walter's Perilous Predicament
00:01:11
Speaker
Walter wakes up, and the first thing you see is dirt. What you first notice after that is the fact that you are shaking quite a lot, actually, and the dirt underneath you is moving. What the? What? Uh, uh, uh, uh, Selena, I think he woke up.
00:01:32
Speaker
Am I untied? Am I still tied? Yes, you are tied. You are tied. Your legs, your arms and legs are each tied to themselves. Is it rope? It is rope. Okay, question. Am I able to control how much my hand becomes like metal for metal claw?
00:01:50
Speaker
Like, can I just make it a fingernail? It is tied around your wrist. If you want to use metal claw to cut the ropes, you will not be able to reach them. I meant, like, could I use my feet? Could I just cut the feet, like, if I get in position? No. No, your feet are tied by the ankles. I remember the anatomy of a Riolo's leg. It's tied near the ankle. Yeah, the bottom. Whatever. If you try moving your legs around, they will not be able to claw the ropes.
00:02:21
Speaker
Where am I? Also, I remember I was in an ugly glacial looking at me. And as you raise your head, you see the face of an ugly glacial and staring right back at you. And who exactly are you calling ugly now, huh? Have you seen yourself? Ugh. Actually, yes. I think I look pretty nice. Whatever me or you look to yourself, I must have cracked. Damn. Anyway, uh...
00:02:45
Speaker
You gotta be like, kinda thirsty or hungry,
Camp Setup and Interrogation
00:02:47
Speaker
huh? Uh, hey, uh, uh, Abyss, Kurt, uh, you know, uh, Abyss, Bree, uh, let's stop for camp. Uh, I guess we might as well discuss what's going on here. And Abyss is like, uh, yeah. And you can tell Abyss is the one carrying, you know, you are on his back as you look around. You see they were slumped over his back, uh, staring down at the ground. Big is an, is an Umbreon.
00:03:11
Speaker
What about cat size? Am I like a puppy size? This should not be that much of a difference. Sizes don't always match up in these universes. He must be a giant Umbreon. He must be like a tiger sized Umbreon.
00:03:27
Speaker
Like I said, sizes don't always match up, but it's fun. We make do. So as as a abyss stops, he dumps you off his back and you flop to the ground. And Selena sits neatly in front of you as she calls her as he's like, well, do you got anything to say for me?
00:03:48
Speaker
Sorry, I don't talk to idiots. No, idiots, huh? Well, if I was an idiot, then I would have left you behind. But that's not what idiots do. No, I'm gonna bring you with me. You see, your friends tried rescuing you, it seems. Uh, looks like the stupid Xerox wasn't enough to keep him out, so...
00:04:04
Speaker
Here we are. We've left that place, and we are going to go, well, somewhere until you either, A, you tell us where we're gonna be going, or, or sorry, where you're gonna tell us where the other orbs are, or we're just gonna keep going into this destination, of which I will not tell you, because it is none of your business. So, whenever you're ready, I'm ready, and then maybe, just maybe I'll consider, maybe, you know, food and water might be,
00:04:34
Speaker
provided possibly i don't know i mean i'm pretty hungry himself but you also just starts giggling to himself like you don't know who i lived with i went without food and water for more than a few days and i guess we're about to test that aren't we really cute seeing an eve evolution trying to be threatening you guys are usually all warm and cuddly
00:04:58
Speaker
Oh, thank you. I actually part myself in being quite nice. So weren't you a disappointment? Well damn I'm gonna be birdie her the entire time Walter's
Walter's Escape Attempts
00:05:08
Speaker
entire thing is just to get a super mad at her Well, uh, huh, okay. Well, um, yeah, so anyway, I'm going to
00:05:18
Speaker
direct and she points at Brie and she's like all right let's get camp set up and after some time passes a camp is set up there's a campfire in the middle and some bibles have been laid out for the three of them and you see now that the sun is starting to set hmm
00:05:40
Speaker
Am I like on the ground? Did they set me down? Yes, we're laying on the dirt. The cold, hard dirt. Is there any little pebbles, sharp pebbles? Yeah, I'm going to say there's pebbles on the ground. Sharp enough that I could use a slowly cut rope. Interesting. First, I'm going to need you to roll a sleight of hand to see if you can pick up a stone without being noticed. I'm using a dice roller because I was way more lucky with that than my dice.
00:06:10
Speaker
Okay, whatever floats your boat. What slime ain't under again? It is cool. Uh, 12. Alright, so with a 12, I'm gonna say you were able to get a pebble. Now, I'm going to roll luck for the serpents of the stone. I will not tell you what my rule is. Alright. So, you now have a pebble in your hand.
00:06:38
Speaker
Because it is a very small rock, if you are attempting to saw away at this rope, it will take some time, which will be measured in hours. Every hour, I'm going to have you roll a D20, which can either be a success, a mixed success, or a fail.
00:06:55
Speaker
A full success will get you two points, a mixed success will get you one point, and a fail will get you zero. A fail is defined as 10 or less, a mixed success is defined as 10 to 15, sorry, 11 to 15, and a full success is 16 plus. A net 20 will get you three points. You must reach a certain number of points that I have in mind to be able to free your hands. Walter's got nothing but time. So he's going to be going to edit.
00:07:22
Speaker
However, it once daytime rolls around, or whenever you decide, or whenever a certain event happens, if someone comes to text on you and they notice that your ropes are frayed, that may become an issue. So, we will start now. I take it you're just constantly sawing at the stroke. Sawing, then anytime people start moving close or looking in his direction, he's gonna try to stop. Alright, I need you to roll this first. Alright, I need you to roll. That is a 15.
00:07:52
Speaker
Alright, a 15 will count as a mixed success. I thought it was full, 15 for full. 16 plus. Oh, alright. I think, hold on, one second. I was pretty sure a 14 was mixed. No, you're right, you're right, you're right. That should be full success. So that's a full success, which will get you two points. And as another hour passes, I need you to roll me another d20. Another 16.
00:08:21
Speaker
16 full success. That's four points and As the night goes on it gets colder and colder, but nothing happens anything Walter's just I Don't know. He's just humming a song trying to act like not suspicious like trying to look like he's does not give a cure in the world What song are you humming?
00:08:49
Speaker
So as you say this You can hear some shifting around and you hear would you be quiet over there for goodness sake? So people are trying to sleep over here. Well, it's like I'll go to a different song
00:09:07
Speaker
so you hear some shuffling and you can hear uh someone walking up to you and you see that it is abyss who sits in front of you is like seriously do i need to enforce this
00:09:22
Speaker
You know what? Fine. And he goes back over to his bedroll. He drags it over to in front of you and lays down directly in front of you. Any further rules you make will have to be done with a slight of hand roll as well. Alright. Failure to roll your slight of hand roll will result in you revealing yourself. Alright.
00:09:48
Speaker
I'm gonna keep going with it. Alright, roll me a sleight of hand. Which is a cool roll. What was that? What was that? Alright, 14. Alright, 14. With a 14, nothing happens. I need you to roll a d20 for cutting the rope. Ooh, not one. Oh, not one. You drop your pebble and you can't find it this hour. If you want to try again, you're gonna have to find a new pebble.
00:10:18
Speaker
all right how is it oh is it halfway cut uh you can't you can't uh no i'm gonna say you can see it because it's in front of you uh yeah you can see that the rope is just barely barely frayed it looks like you haven't made much of a dent while they're seeing this thing in his head i'm never i'm never gonna be able to keep conceal this enough and actually do it
00:10:44
Speaker
Alright, so are you giving up? Walta's gonna wait until everyone falls asleep. He's gonna act like he falls asleep. And then just wait for everyone to fall asleep and try to move. Within five minutes, everyone is asleep. I mean, they've been done singing. Do I need to make a check to see if they believe I'm asleep? No, because they're asleep. They're not watching you at the moment. Walta's gonna slowly get up and try to shuffle away from the camp.
00:11:12
Speaker
Okay, so you're gonna try and stand up Crawl or anything anything to get out of the camp. Uh, let me take a look at my rolls. See what would Fall this under the exit of a couple roll. I know I can ping them walk out roll Acrobatics or athletics, which everyone's better for you. So you just tell that cool. Oh definitely tell if I got three on that. Oh damn Okay, that's a fighting. So roll it with disadvantage. Oh
00:11:41
Speaker
Oh, you're mean, alright. Well, you're tight off. Yeah, 16 is lowest. No way, really? I got an 18 and a 13. I got a plus 3. Okay, so you managed to stand up just fine. And you are now standing up, but any movement you make will... Each movement you make will require a disadvantage tough roll, since you already used tough.
00:12:07
Speaker
which way is the closest he can go like into like cover like i don't know bushes a lot of trees i'm gonna say you guys are like on the edge of like a cops of trees copes cops whatever the hell it's called so uh to like behind you is like a bunch of bushes and some trees and across from you is like a plains
00:12:28
Speaker
Walter's got is it like planes where like it's a giant grass or just flat grass but a lot of it's flat but if you wish to go towards the trees you will have to walk around abyss I'll try it wait dude I don't even know I'm brain sleep
00:12:47
Speaker
Okay, so the way I'm gonna have this work, because you're choosing the most difficult way to do this, and any kind of noise is gonna wake these guys up. So, I'm gonna have you roll athletics, which is tough. But, any failure will result in you stepping on abyss. A mixed success will count as a fail, and only a full success will count as a couple steps forward. And you have to roll this with disadvantage, because you are tied up. Alright, here we go.
00:13:16
Speaker
And you're on Crunchy Grass, so... Papa needs a new pair of shoes. Okay. Oh, that fell, not mine. That one fell. Oh, shoot. Yeah, reroll that. All right. Wow, okay. First, I really got a 16, then that would make a 19. The next one, I got a 13 plus 3, 16. Oh my god. 16's my lucky number tonight.
00:13:43
Speaker
holy crap okay so you managed to hop around abyss and you're now on the other side of him and you are very near some bushes if you wish to make a couple more you will have to roll the same roll and then you will be behind cover all right i'm gonna try to get behind the bushes all right make another disadvantage roll with the same attributes come on two nat 20s would be nice right now my looks unbelievable if i can get that that'd be insane
00:14:15
Speaker
You gotta be kidding me. One was a nat 20, but I wasted a nat 20. The other one is a 17. No, it's no way. Okay, while you hop around, you are now behind a tree.
00:14:29
Speaker
I'm glad because you want- Before this I was getting rid of my bad luck so I wrote like three nat ones before I started. Good grief. Okay, so what are you planning on doing now that you're behind a tree? I will note that you're only a few feet away from like abyss and the group. Who are still sound asleep.
00:14:49
Speaker
Is there like twigs here that could be, that's a sharp, like a broken and a sharp? Uh, yeah, there's some sticks around. I'm going to say that if you attempt to use them, they have a chance of breaking, but I'm going to say, yeah, yeah, you can use some sticks to as a sharp items if you want.
00:15:06
Speaker
He's just going to try to cut his feet off, cut the rope on his feet off. Alright, you're still standing up, so if you're going to, if you need to get down, I'm not going to make you do that, you pick up some sticks, and you're down on the ground, and you're now behind the trees, and you're using a stick to cut the ropes on your hands, correct? If I cut my hands off, could I untie my feet?
00:15:33
Speaker
Sorry, you just said if I can cut my hands off. Oh man, if I can cut the ropes on my hand, it's off. Could I untie my feet with my hands? You can certainly attempt it down the road. I'll just cut my feet part off so I can book it. Okay, so I need you to... Okay, so this is hour four, I think. I'm gonna have that off. It's either three or four. I kept them up for like an hour or two, so they're gonna sleep in.
00:16:04
Speaker
Yeah, so I'm gonna say this is Hour 3, I might be miscounted. I think it's Hour 3. So, on Hour 3, I'm gonna say, yeah, you have a stick, I'm gonna roll for quality on that.
00:16:16
Speaker
Oh my goodness. Okay, so now I need you to, every hour, we're gonna do the same thing. Roll out d20. And that determines how successful you were that hour at cutting the ropes. So go ahead for hour one. What do I add with it? Or nothing? Nothing, flat. 10. Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah. So 10, you barely succeed. All right, you get one extra point towards your feet. All right, here we go. Your feet rope, sorry.
00:16:47
Speaker
19 All right, you get two extra points two extra points towards you or him use my best luck You're just a stick which brings you up to three points. Why is everything but combat are all good for? So so it is now the dead of night and you only have a few hours left 17 17 you get two more points which brings you up to five How many do I need?
00:17:16
Speaker
It's a 15. A 15 is a full success, so that brings you up to seven. My goodness. At this point, you can see the sun starting to rise over the horizon, just barely. I'm going to start going fast, like, come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:17:32
Speaker
Are you going to attempt to go fast?
Deception and Defiance
00:17:35
Speaker
I'll say if you want to double your speed, you'll have to roll a sleight of hand for the noise you're making, but you'll get double of whatever you get, which includes failed, so if you fail, you'll lose too. Alright, I'll be down for that. Alright, roll a sleight of hand first. 17. Alright, there you go. Now roll for a sleight of hand. Sorry, just flat T20.
00:17:56
Speaker
13 all right and with that that is a mixed success to Dutch to should you get nine and you can see that you have caught about halfway through the ropes as the days breaks and As day breaks and the party starts to wake up. I just try to hide in a bush like make them think I already booked it You're currently behind a tree. And if you do so, you'll have to make a stealth check with disadvantage because I'm gonna say
00:18:24
Speaker
Double disadvantage because you're in crunchy leaves and stuff now tie it up And the people around you are going to currently be looking for you in like a couple seconds Okay, just try to hide behind the tree and hope they don't find me Hopefully they don't think I went this way It's like the Lord of the Rings of hiding behind a tree What exactly are you attempting to do?
00:18:51
Speaker
Oh no, is there like a- you know how in trees there could be spots where animals would go like made of burrow place? Like in the tree? Yeah, yeah, like in the tree. Is there one in this tree so I could just hunker down in it? There's a very small one. I am gonna try and hunker down and just hope they don't see me. Alright, roll stealth, which is cool, with disadvantage.
00:19:16
Speaker
That's a way to... Alright, and... Alright, this is... I'm wasting Nat 20 again, cause of disadvantage. 14. Okay, you do not quite fit in the hole. Uh, you're like, head and feet are sticking out as you try and stuff yourself in there. Uh, and you make actually a decent bit of noise. And as you're doing this, you hear Abyss wake up and he's like, oh, hey, hey, he's gone, what the...
00:19:46
Speaker
uh where and he looks around and because you're on the other side of the tree he doesn't see you immediately and he uh hey guys uh he's gone um okay can walta try to the others wake up the others wake up and they start bolting around you have one more action to make i'll let you take one more action walta's just gonna sit up act like he's all cool like he didn't try to escape or anything and just start humming to himself
00:20:13
Speaker
and act like he did this actively giving away your possession so I was gonna say he wants them to think that he could have got away at any time but he chose not to I want them to second guess himself okay roll deception which is which is a cute roll I guess we're in a very roll heavy episode yeah because I'm trying to escape
00:20:39
Speaker
And you made the ropes thick as heck. Well, okay. So I actually rolled the quality since this has passed. I rolled the quality for the stone and the stick. On the stone, you rolled a four, which means you had to get at least 20 points, which was nearly impossible. And for the stick, you also had to roll 20 points.
00:21:01
Speaker
I would've had to get like four not 20s. Yeah, you would've had to get quite a few not 20s to be able to make that. So it was extremely difficult. That or done the fast one and somehow succeed to check every time. Yeah, so I'm lucky not that lucky. So roll with me cute for deception.
00:21:20
Speaker
Not 20, suck it. They believe me. All right. All right. So you're like Zorro from One Piece. He's just the coolest piece of that on Earth. And you're just like, hey, guys. Well, I don't know. What do you say? As they're all three staring at you, leaning up on this tree, you're sitting or whatever.
00:21:40
Speaker
He's just being like Uncle Iroh just humming to a song and just grinning at them with his eyes closed. Just doing leads from the vine. Just humming that song. Selena looks at you and is like, what are you doing over here? You move like 10 feet away. I can clearly see that you're trying to cut your ropes. They're all frayed and destroyed.
00:22:01
Speaker
Ugh, Obisco grabbed the other half of the rope. You may want to work on your security. Your number two ain't so much for number two if you can't keep eyes on the prisoner. The only thing that's number two around here is you.
00:22:17
Speaker
and oh so you're not the big oh so you're not the big boss then oh that makes sense who would follow ecclesia on into battle i don't think you understood what i meant but we're gonna go with that uh well i thought i thought abyss and the um bronze were her number two and i just went with i don't think number two she must be the number two i don't think you got oh oh i understand now i understand
00:22:45
Speaker
Oh, I understand. Cut this out of the video. That is not getting cut. So this comes by with another with another length of rope and he ties it around your wrist on top of the other rope.
00:22:58
Speaker
doubling the amount of rope that was on your arms and feet. After some time he grabs you by the scruff of your neck and drags you back toward where the camp was. Walter just gone limp and just going limp make putting all the weight down like how a dog doesn't try to pick them up you just go limp. Okay, so like dragging his feet is significantly harder for a beast to drag you over there but he manages with his mouth he has to drag me with his teeth.
00:23:25
Speaker
You can hear Abyss cursing at you under his breath, but Selena looks at you and he's like, whoop, I guess it's time to get going again. So, and she tosses some berries to Abyss and Brie, and they eat some quick breakfast, they pack up, and Selena's like, Brie, it's your turn to carry him this time. We'll swap day by day, and Brie's like, okay, yeah, sure. Abyss, can you help me lift him up here?
00:23:55
Speaker
I got a question. Have you seen Avatar where they were capturing Iroh and how he was being transported as a prisoner? No, I've never seen Avatar. He was basically trolling them the whole time. Like he'd fall off on purpose and make it such an awful experience, like making him go to a prison. He'd sink, he'd fall off, he would do stuff to purposely make it harder. I'm basically doing that the whole trip. Making them cause fights between each other, falling off.
00:24:25
Speaker
Yeah, I can imagine that's what you're about to do. So as you guys head down the road bumping along and breeze back guys head down the trail down the plains bordering like a bunch of what seemed to be a cop now seems to be more of like a forest as the trees just keep continuing on you guys follow the border between the plains and the forest and you guys make it down the road down the road for quite a few hours. Is Walter doing anything in this meantime? Is there anything I do to leave a trail?
00:24:55
Speaker
I purposely leave a trail. Can you tell me what is on your on your person? What is in your bag? Let me see. I'm just leaving Book of McGriddles on the ground. I have 99 of them. Hold on a second. Oh, my goodness. OK, so find the scent, Sammy, find the scent. So Selena did not confiscate any of your belongings. She rolled a net one.
00:25:27
Speaker
So I'm just hoping, just a Bokeh McGriddle every like 30 feet. So I'm just hoping Sammy can catch a scent of Bokeh McGriddles. So yeah, you leave a breadcrumb trail of Bokeh burgers down the trail and... Wait, so that means I'm just carrying my guitar and that is leaving it on with me? Oh no, your guitar is on your back still.
00:25:51
Speaker
Along with your violin. So this poor Umbreon carrying a Riolu plus a guitar. Yeah, I know. It's like a 30 pound guitar plus a 40 pound Riolu. Yeah. It's purposely making it a bit more difficult. So like add like half another, like 15 more pounds. How often do you lay these Boca Burgers on the ground?
00:26:16
Speaker
I say every 30 to 40 feet. Okay, so you're going to lay bokeh burgers for about an hour, I'm gonna say. And then you run out of bokeh burgers. So I need you to delete all bokeh burgers from your inventory.
00:26:35
Speaker
which I'm gonna point out, your belly is now dropping because you are traveling. This is the first time we've had to use this mechanic. Now, the definitions for traveling is usually based on your speed, but because you're traveling on Bree's back, we are going to use her speed and her speed, which I'm going to have to create real quick. How am I using Barry when I'm not even moving? Oh, let's see. How is that working?
00:27:05
Speaker
uh okay so if anything i should make it if anything i should make it more difficult for her no that's absolutely what happened uh she has a speed of nine but that is getting divided in half rounded uh up because she is carrying you so she has a speed of five plus the guitar she's going to be the one to limit them so
00:27:24
Speaker
Because you're not actively traveling, your hunger is only going to decrease by half. So belly is going to drop for every other hour you travel. And as far as you know, this has been the second day you've traveled. So assuming you're traveling 10 hours a day, you've dropped down five belly, and it has now been about four hours-ish. So I'm going to say you've lost seven belly by this point, and you can start to feel yourself getting pretty hungry. I'm popping orangeberry to have in my bag.
00:27:55
Speaker
Okay, you eat an Ormbur, and it brings you up one belly. I mean, you gotta do what you gotta do. I'm not gonna lie, you did have a hundred Boca Burgers that increased your belly to full, but hey. I only could, I only, to be, I had to leave some kind of trail, I had nothing else. They would never found me. You could've left 98, but you left 99, so. Well, I didn't know only an hour, 99 Boca Burgers, and only an hour worth of trail.
00:28:24
Speaker
Uh, well you said you were leaving them like every 30 feet, so that's like every 15 steps. So that's like one every 30 seconds. Oh, I didn't think that was that little. I thought it was a bit wider than that. Yeah, I mean, an average step for a person, which I'm going to say for adults, like half of that, so like a foot and a half. I was going to go with like a quarter of a mile each, each Boca Burger, quarter of a mile.
00:28:45
Speaker
okay is that what you want to change it to because that'll last for the entire day then because uh yeah because that's like 10 15 per step for like 30 feet yeah that's a lot less than i thought it was yeah so uh sure every quarter mile um and you run out of boca burgers and keep them one and keep them one all right you keep one so you have one boca burger and it is now the end of the second day which means you should have dropped 10 belly by now
00:29:15
Speaker
Okay, I'm waiting for this to get to like one valley that I'm popping this. You're just like on the fringe of death. Eventually the sun starts to set once again, and Selena tells everyone, alright guys, it's time to make camp again, and you can see Jess
Musical Distraction
00:29:33
Speaker
just towards you. If you ever want to speak, I'm all yours.
00:29:37
Speaker
my guy just starts humming the song again she rolls her eyes she's like whatever and do i have my guitar chip since i have my
00:29:47
Speaker
my guitar actually no because walter plays an improvised electric cello remember so she has a violin bow not a uh pick well that's still kind of sharp could i could i just use that as someone who's played violin uh a violin bow is not sharp i've never played i've never played it so i had no idea it looks sharp not at all it's horse hair and uh maybe it's a tip like the little pointy tip
00:30:15
Speaker
but no that's not any metal on this thing is there any metal on the guitar i will say you are wearing now double you are wearing double the amount of rope is before so your points needed are now uh whatever they were plus 20 again i have a question if i'm sitting down and my i'm restrained it but my hands are in front of me could i just lift my finger up some metal claw just cut my feet no you cannot position your hands to the point where you can metal claw yourself out
00:30:45
Speaker
Well, my guy's just gonna, if I long rest, when will my belly go up? Yes, if you long rest, your belly will restore because that's definitely how sleep works. Yes, definitely. But that's the way it works in this system. So a short rest, the belly increases one per hour and a long rest is eight plus hours, which is what we're counting as rest for this section here. And belly increases to max.
00:31:12
Speaker
so my guy he's gonna keep him up for a little while but he's gonna fall asleep to get a long rest but he's just gonna annoy them until he goes to bed okay if you do not fall asleep immediately it will count as a short rest oh then they sleep for eight hours if you are staying up it will be less than eight hours all right he will go to sleep immediately but he'll wake up early just start annoying them
00:31:37
Speaker
Like we, like the, uh, Brewster, like, wake up. All right. So, brick of dawn comes. Your belly is filled. And what does Walter doing? I can't do that without laughing. So Brie, who is guarding you this morning, is like, what the... I'm already a rake, you idiot. I can't. She puts her paw on your chest. She's like, quit that. You're the one with your hand.
00:32:08
Speaker
What the? Ew, gross! What are you doing? I just stick my tongue at her. They just give her a place to look at her. You're dumb, you know that, right? He shakes his head like, yes, I know. I attack the door for an entire session. Yeah, right. I got my message in this by attacking a door. Well, no, she actually kind of laughs at that. So she's like, all right, guys, let's go. Might as well get a move on. It's morning already.
00:32:38
Speaker
They get some breakfast and the day moves on once again. Is Walter doing any fun? I'm running out of songs to say. I know I'm out of songs. I'm only stuck in Avatar songs right now. Walter starts humming John Kanekawa.
00:33:02
Speaker
It just starts humming Dark Vader's theme song. It's just the Imperial March. You can see Brie actually is like swaying along to music and she starts like humming along with you.
00:33:27
Speaker
they just gonna recruit me to just be their background singer i'm gonna be the hype man you're just the bard so they it looks like they're just this is just a forcibly recruiting me so as the day moves on the sun starts slowly heading over is waltz are doing anything in this time he's just enjoying life right now like
00:33:52
Speaker
He starts doing the Mario theme song. That sounds like the Mario theme for the Super Star. He just goes... Breeze, who is carrying you, which doesn't make sense because she shouldn't be carrying you. It should be a business term, but I guess I forgot that. Definitely not the DM for getting that. She's like, what is that? That doesn't sound like a song at all. I don't know. It's just when electric types get really hyper and start glowing, they usually make that sound.
00:34:22
Speaker
Since when did Pokemon glow? And she looks at Abyss, who has glowing rings, and then she looks at herself, who is also glowing. He just gives him look like, really? Seriously? Yeah, fair enough. Can I make a check to see how- Quit talking back there. Selena starts yelling from the back. He's supposed to be your prisoner, he's not your friend. Would you be quiet, you two?
00:34:43
Speaker
You can see Bree start to like, reminisce. She's like, seriously. Party Crasher. You definitely were a tattletale in school. Wait, did you say that? Yes. And she's like, yep, you got that right. That explains so much. That explains so much right now. I mean, yeah. What does this have to do with anything? I'm confused.
00:35:12
Speaker
Because you're a Killjoy. I mean, I... Yeah, let's go along with that. Sure. We'll go with that. So anyway, uh... Right, I think we're almost here. And as you guys crest over a hill, you guys see what seems to be a large tower. Just a very large tower. And you can see a sign that says, Welcome to Hawkeye.
00:35:41
Speaker
What's just looks at something just says it does obviously breaks the fourth wall compensating Someone's compensating. Where's that supposed to mean? Nothing Okay
00:35:56
Speaker
Oh my gosh, I'm going full Deadpool. I'm just breaking the fourth wall and just making friends by being annoying. So you guys head down towards the tower and as you guys get closer and closer you see the tower gets bigger and bigger and eventually you just come to comprehend a massive scaleless tower.
00:36:21
Speaker
It looks like it's all rickety and shouldn't be able to stand up. It's like made of large rocks, but it's a tower. It's a large rock tower. And there's like structures dotted around it. There's like ladders and stuff. And Walters goes, it's a wonder how no one finds these evil layers. This, you say evil layer? What are you talking about? This is totally an evil layer.
00:36:46
Speaker
Oh, you idiot. You're funny. Hey, welcome to my home.
00:36:53
Speaker
This is not a lair. Who said that again? Selena did. I was expecting an ice castle, honestly. Ice castle? That sounds boring. It sounds stereotypical. I thought that sounds like, oh, an ice type. Everything you do is ice. You don't want to let it go. You don't want to let it go. Let it go. She stares at it. She stops and turns around and stares at it. You're like, shut up, Hugh. It's the first time in forever you felt free, isn't it?
00:37:24
Speaker
She gives a big sigh, turns around, just starts walking. I know I hear, but I have a feeling we're gonna be great friends at the end of this. He says openly to the Umbreon he's been making friends with. I don't know, I guess we'll see.
00:37:42
Speaker
Their other party thinks I'm being tortured right now. I'm the one torturing them So as you guys head towards the as you guys head towards the tower you guys reached the bottom of the tower You guys see like this big metal door wait you see We enter from the bottom tower and you're saying we walked for a bit then into the bottom of the tower, huh? Yes, you mean there's a downstairs
00:38:06
Speaker
No, no, no, no. You guys were at the top of the ridge overlooking the tower and then you guys were closer and then you guys reached the tower. So you guys get to the tower at the bottom and there's a big metal door. Walter just says, couldn't we just go from like a tunnel, like a secret tunnel?
00:38:31
Speaker
Like appendages on our ears it's just like what is like you secret tunnels all of a sudden you don't like bokeh have a bokeh tar at the last Sky type I am going to shoot you with I don't know because guns don't exist in this universe. So she would both see a range of
00:38:51
Speaker
somehow i have a very strange memory of guns but i don't know why back in the war back in the war abyss just gets a thousand yard stare i want to just like hello hello all right yeah sorry anywho uh right so and you guys get taken into
00:39:14
Speaker
building and you guys and you see what seems to be a renovated tourist attraction which is very strange. There's like elevators and stairs, there's like lookout points and all sorts of stuff for like tourists to see. You even see a map of the surrounding area.
00:39:32
Speaker
but what's very strange to you is also the fact that there's like a kitchen set up and like as you go up a story uh there's like a bedroom there's a couple bedrooms and like as you keep going up and up there's like different stuff there's a laundry room with uh not laundry machines and like a whole decked out place but you can tell this place used to be a tourist attraction
00:39:56
Speaker
And as he takes you to the very top, you see a glass wall stopping you from falling off, obviously. But just the overlook of the entire land around you for miles. You can see over the tops of the trees, and you can see the ocean. Again, how does no one find this place? Well, I mean, this is my house. Even if they found this place, it wouldn't really matter, I don't think.
00:40:24
Speaker
You know, you wouldn't have to listen to my old office songs if you free my hands so I can play my actual guitar and actually have good songs to sing. Yeah, we'll get more of that later. Anywho, uh, Abyss, why don't you show him to his room for now? No, let the other one go. I'd like them better. You'll get enough of both of them anyway. Trust me, you'll get tired of them soon enough. I know I do. They don't look so bad.
00:40:52
Speaker
and Brie takes you downstairs and still tight on her back. She's like huffing and puffing because she's just gone up like 20 flights of stairs carrying you and your guitar off the back.
00:41:04
Speaker
and she takes you to a room on the third floor, and there's actually a large-sized bedroom. Oh, it's like a bed, a cart, a... Wow. What the... Okay, I don't even know what I was trying to say there. I chest... A king-sized bed and a... Yeah, yeah, it's a large bed, a very large bed with big drawers, big drawers. What am I saying? A big dresser with lots of drawers is what I'm trying to say.
00:41:33
Speaker
And it's actually very nice. And Bree sets you down, she's like, all right, let me get a hold still for a second. And she's like, uses her teeth and she like, gnashes out the ropes for a bit. And she eventually takes the ropes off of your feet and your hands. Walter's like, oh, thank you. He starts, he gets out his guitar and he goes like, you know, your boss is not quite the smartest. She never pat me down.
00:42:00
Speaker
I kind of realized that, but I don't really question her, nothing, so it's whatever. She's quite nice, actually, once you get to know her. It's just when she doesn't. She's when she's not in a good mood, she can be a little cranky sometimes, you see. But if you stay on her good side, she's actually quite nice. She didn't act nice to when she said that I'd get tired of you two.
00:42:25
Speaker
I, well, you see, she's got a bit of a, that's stuff you don't know, and that's not my place to tell. I think it'd be best if she told you, and that's up to her to decide when. So I'm just gonna say, on our system, don't run away, and we'll take care of you here. Speaking of which, I'll probably get you some food.
00:42:52
Speaker
Walter's like, okay. For first, he sets on his bed, gets chills like, song request, song request. I need to play, I've not played in a while. All right, so, uh, she looks and she's like, uh, how about the flight of the cutie flies? What?
00:43:12
Speaker
It's Flight of the Bumblebee. Oh, I've never heard that song. All right. You've never heard Flight of the Bumblebee? It's like an extremely fast paced song. It's like absolutely ridiculous. It's what it's known for. It's like just ridiculously fast and insanely hard to play. I'll just do, I don't know, I'll just do like the really hard, I don't know, I'll just do a random song and hopefully it will mix. Okay, roll performance.
00:43:41
Speaker
Which is... Not 20. Alright, it doesn't matter. Not 20. Pick a song, you can play it perfectly. I gotta look up some songs, give me a second. Oh boy. I gotta see what song I wanna play perfectly. You just play E.T. by Katy Perry. I wanna make it a country song, hold on. Ooh, country song, Fast Car by Luke Combs.
00:44:04
Speaker
or writing with private and alone. That's such a good song. I can't find any of my music right now, I'm just guessing. Sorry, I love country music. He's gonna do old time road.
00:44:16
Speaker
Oh, that's not country. Come on. Yes, it is. Yo, you can do better than that. Do some kind of cruelty. All right, all right. Dear, cause Bentley, I don't know Rodney Atkins, Morgan Wallen, anyone, David Ball, fucking and even Hal Kelsi and Bellarini, Luke Holmes. You pick a song for me then. All right, I'm going to chip pick from my, I'm going to hit randomize on my Spotify thing and whatever comes up, comes up.
00:44:40
Speaker
Alright, the devil went down to Georgia by the Charlie Daniels band. Oh my gosh, I actually know that one, alright. That's so funny that that comes up. Oh wait, no, Devil Blues. Girochino went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal. He was in a bind because he was way behind and he was willing to make a deal. He's gonna somehow get a Riz on the Umbreon by being a big country singer. That'll become great friends.
00:45:07
Speaker
So yeah, you are able to recite the entirety of The Devil and Down to Georgia by the Charlie Daniels Band, and just the most amazing performance you've ever heard. And eventually, Abyss also comes in here in the absolute ruckus that you're making, and he's like, oh my goodness, wow, okay. And as the song finishes, they both clap as well as dog-like bookmark and clap.
00:45:32
Speaker
And they howl. I don't think they howl. No, sometimes they do not howl. They're a little more classier. Yeah.
00:45:43
Speaker
He goes, thank you. Thank you. I'll be I'll be here. Well, until you let me go forever until you let me go. Well, I mean, Bre talks again. I mean, it's not like we're really keeping you here. It's up to Selena to enforce that you stay here. So I don't know. Maybe she's like looks at a rope that's on the ground. Like, uh-huh. Well, you see,
00:46:07
Speaker
I wish I could explain this to you. I really can't. I... Oh, just admit it. You just wanted a singer here because it gets boring in the castle. Yeah, definitely. Why they kidnapped you from like a billion miles away and made like a three-day hike. You just wanted the son of the most famous singer in the world. What are you talking about? Oh, my mom's a famous singer. Is she? Is she? Yeah. Gotta get her name real quick because I forget.
00:46:31
Speaker
I don't remember my mom's name. Sorry. I don't know if it's on my sheet. Don't remember her name. I remember my mom's name down here somewhere. It's like written on the back of your hand. What was her name again? Because I don't think I have it on the sheet. It's Veronica. All right. What's her stage name? Veronica.
00:46:50
Speaker
It's Veronica, one of the most famous singers in the world. Oh, your mom is Veronica? Really? I need to autograph as you want. Abyss doesn't seem fazed, but Berea's like, really? You're the son of Veronica? No wonder you could play so well. Oh yeah, sometimes she'd get one of her
00:47:11
Speaker
other friend singers and helped me practice. I got a few autographs from other singers. I can get you some if you want. She starts hopping up and down. She's like, I love music. This is so exciting. I think you and I are going to be great friends. In fact, this guitar was a gift from her mother. It was one of her first ones.
00:47:31
Speaker
You want to state that again? First I heard background noise and then you cut out. Sorry, I ran a machine in my house. Yeah, you're fine. It's just that last sentence you said. Yeah, this guitar I got was one of my mom's first ones she practiced with.
00:47:47
Speaker
uh actually hold on real quick i think the guitar you got in episode one was actually stated that she got you a the guitar as a gift um the dip for your graduation oh yeah or it was like she got she like recently got you a gift so like guitars only like a few days old all right without we can redo it all right
00:48:08
Speaker
He goes, yeah, my mom got me this for my graduation gift, inspiring me to follow in her lead. That's very interesting. I've never seen an instrument like that. It's like a guitar, but no amp. And it's a cello, but like a violin bow and not a cello bow. I think that's what it's called. It's so weird, but it works. Yeah, I didn't know what it was at first either. She just wanted me to have something challenging at first.
00:48:36
Speaker
it certainly looks challenging and especially when you just played uh not easy at all i think it's really funny that that's the song i pulled up because that is not an easy song to play it's literally a fiddle duo yeah dual walter sets it down like one give a try and hands are the thing
00:48:54
Speaker
Sure, and she attempts to play it and oh wow so she actually like She actually sits up on her bed because to play it I can tell us you have to be really tall and so she sits like up on her bed She like holds it kind of against her chest and she pulls her cross and she's able to play Twinkle twinkle little star like almost without flaw Beautiful
00:49:19
Speaker
You'll have to teach me sometimes. This looks like fun. Well, I'm here. I'm probably gonna be here for a while, so... Probably any time. Speak of which, it's almost lunchtime. Maybe you should come down and maybe we'll get to meet Selena for a bit. Walter Poles has Boca Burger. You know, she's really gotta get nuts.
00:49:37
Speaker
she's really got a sword to me well she's not exactly and she like puts her hand up to her mouth she's like not the smartest pokemon in the world but uh he goes he was just like i can tell yeah uh well it's not up to me to question her methods but i uh she lives in a giant castle it's not exactly a castle a giant torus trap
00:50:06
Speaker
I'm pretty sure it used to be like a tourist attraction, but that was abandoned. And then she took it over. So it's just like something we found. Looks really wizardy. Could be. Looks a lot like Rapunzel.
00:50:20
Speaker
and uh anyway i'm gonna go down to the dining room so if you want to see me there if you want to go talk to selena i'll be there wait i'm just ready to walk around uh i don't see why not you're not a prisoner i mean as far as i'm concerned anyway then selena might have other plans but i just suggest you don't leave the building for now i would talk to selena about that first who else is like okay
00:50:48
Speaker
And what is that three and abyss leave the room well to just sit some conflict and just thinks himself what is going on I Got to have made pals with two of them one
Rap and Rebellion
00:51:04
Speaker
of them. I've kind of made pals by annoying them somehow I
00:51:09
Speaker
He's not going for that effect, but yep, and yet they slowly see a bond between us becoming friends. Now he's thinking himself, is this a better route than other guys? Because they seemed a lot more efficient than what we did. It takes an entire episode to go down one street. Yeah, so.
00:51:32
Speaker
uh you are now alone in your bedroom if you wish you can explore the building and i can give you further details or you can head down to the dining room in which uh uh as has been stated the group is gathering for lunch he's gonna eat then explore he's gonna see the whole group okay so you're going down to the dining room yep
00:51:53
Speaker
Okay, so you get down to the dining room and it's basically exactly what Bri described. They're all sitting around the dining room table, well, and they're all eating sandwiches, and Selena looks over at you and gives you a deadpan stare, but Bri also catches your gaze, so they're like, oh hey, come over here. You can go make yourself a sandwich, it's over there. I suggest us to wear those peanut butter and jelly.
00:52:18
Speaker
And like bread on the counter. Waltz just gives it like a little, like a little wide-mouthed smile waves. Act like he didn't just send Noah here for three days straight. She didn't seem to mind it, so.
00:52:35
Speaker
Yeah, you go ahead, bake yourself a sandwich. What are you doing? You're sitting at the table, you go into your room, what's going on? He's gonna just sit, like, find a bench in the corner and just eat and then play a song for like, I don't know, an evening song for eating. Like a cavern song. Okay, so if your belly was dropped, you can put that to max, and I want you to roll performance, which is cute. I forget.
00:52:59
Speaker
That is a cute. Cute? Yes, cute. What would look for cute? I think it was only a plus one. Yep, and that's 18. All right, 18. So with an 18, do you want me to pick a random song again, or do you got something in mind? Devil's Blue. I don't know that one, Devil's Blue. What would be a good, like, is this a dinner or a lunch? It's lunch, because it's currently noon. It's a good lunch. What's a good lunch song?
00:53:29
Speaker
uh chop suey by system of a down sorry it's just our first metal song i got down to the sickness by disturb uh dropped at cynical i don't know i don't know why i'm looking through my metal in order to find a dinner song um i'm just finding country and metal uh let's see i think
00:53:59
Speaker
What do you think? You know what? Hold on. I'm going to go through my biggest playlist. I'm going to hit random. All right. Let's see. It's going to be like Rasputin. I don't think I have that. My biggest playlist is my 2K plus pop playlist from like 10 years ago. It's 13 hours, 226 songs. Let's see. It is low by Flo Rida and T-Pain. Could I even do Rasputin?
00:54:25
Speaker
I don't know. Walter is playing Low by Flo Rida and T-Pain. Never heard it. There's no way you've never heard that before. I don't listen to music that much. Playing a music character. Okay, you've definitely heard that song before. There's no way. I probably heard it, but I don't remember names that much. I probably don't remember the name of it. That is the name of it. It's called Low by Flo Rida and T-Pain.
00:54:51
Speaker
fine i'm gonna keep hitting random until i find something you know not that i can just do teeth by five sauce what teeth by five sauce is that no no wild ones by florida and sia are you serious i vaguely household names i vaguely remember it
00:55:15
Speaker
My name is by Eminem. Please tell me you know that. I heard that. I heard it. Okay, there we go. Now Walter's rapping at the lunch table. Great lunch time. My name is. Yeah, my name is.
00:55:31
Speaker
So you're playing my name is my M&M somehow on an electric improvised cello while wrapping and somehow he has somehow He has a bass drop behind him. Just don't nobody's able to do it You go better a few seconds. I had inspiration Uh, didn't you already succeed? I know but I haven't I forgot that inspiration that's gonna be useful So as you start doing the Selena like series is like sir. Yeah. Hey, I
00:55:57
Speaker
Can you not? Seriously, we're trying to enjoy some food here. And Bree like looks at Celine, she's like, really? And she's like, that's her like, looks up at her like seriously, just let him be. And she's like, you can see she's not happy about it, but she lets you continue. Walter makes like some part of a wrap up. Like he's like, I'm not going to take advice from someone who just kidnapped me. He's just going to throw that into the song like a real time. I'm not as soon as she notices.
00:56:25
Speaker
Oh, she does not notice. She rolled a 2 by a dumb player like you. She kidnapped a little child. Now you're mad, because you got no style. Yeah, she did not notice that. So you dropped that. Does the others notice and let it giggle? She seems to be trying to blind. Whatnot blind. Drown you out. I cannot speak today. Does Abyss and Glory hear that? Did they just giggle? Sure, let me run for that.
00:56:54
Speaker
I got a 19 and a 13. So yes, they both hear that. And you see Breakeagle, you see Obits give you like a flat pan stare like seriously. Hater gonna hate. Yup. So he just crosses on, goes like, peace out, drops a mic like he has, pretend like he has one. Somehow you hear the boom mic.
00:57:16
Speaker
so as you finish up something is like great that finally that's over all right anyhow if you're done here just can you go do something if you want to go explore go just don't mess anything up please okay he's like uh he's just starts walking away like this person wow i don't know i'm trying to make walter more brat now because he just i'm just i just keep thinking because his way he acts depends on what his life what he lasts on
00:57:48
Speaker
like it changes between like what music he just did like country he's annoying and platform playful dumb rap he's just disrespectful to one person all right so what are you doing now he's going to go explore see what's he's the way he's trapped
00:58:08
Speaker
On the first story is basically like the basement is what they kind of traded it as. The first story is just like a room for storage. There's not much down here. There's like washing machines or whatever. I think I said that was on the second story. Doesn't matter. Second story is where the kitchen and dining room is. On the third story is all the bedrooms, including where yours is. And on the fourth story is the overlook where it's just a completely open to the air. Walter's gonna go to the top and just try to get, see if I can get a sense of where I'm close to.
00:58:38
Speaker
like okay see a town or something so i'm gonna say you cannot quite see a town anywhere around you but you see a lot of forests and off in the distance you can see the ocean and on the other side you can see plains he's not going to make it look like he's trying to but he's going to start playing music on top of this seeing if this cuts into the next session of them hearing me okay so is
00:59:07
Speaker
I'm going to cut that right there, but is this where you want to end it? Is that going to end it right there? That is actually a pretty good transition. Yeah, he's just going to start playing. I got a song for this. OK, what is it? Viva La Vida. OK, so as you're playing Viva La Vida, the screen fades to black, and that is where we're going to end this episode. Very strange as it was. I've been to Dakota, your PM, your DM, your GM.
00:59:35
Speaker
I've been Jacob, the fool who just annoyed at Glaceon. Yeah, sure did. Alright, thank you. Come back next week.
00:59:55
Speaker
Hello everyone, I'm Dakota, here to thank you for listening to this episode. Our show comes out every other week, Sunday morning. Go follow us on Instagram at PMD Path Through Time, at Twitter at PMD Path Through Time, that's through spelled with a U, and our Discord where you can receive updates on the show, and talk to us and give us ideas, such as the question of the episode's submissions. Speaking of which, this week our submission comes in from Spirit, and he asks what are each of the characters' theme songs?
01:00:21
Speaker
As I don't have the group here to discuss that, I will give you an answer for my favorite character of the series, which obviously is Selina. If you didn't know, she's my OC actually. Her favorite song is Drop Dead Cynical by Amaranth. Really good song, I suggest you listen to it. If you guys are submitting group questions in the question of the episode submissions, it is very difficult for me to answer them as I am here because we don't get the group together to do mid-sections. So try and submit questions that I can
01:00:51
Speaker
answer by myself. But with that being said, let's thank the music producers for this episode. Thank you for Welcome to Yoshi's Village, Mt. Rugged, and Forever Forest from Paper Mario 64. And thank you for Lush Forest from Super Mystery Dungeon.
