Bye!
Introduction and Game Setup
00:00:08
Speaker
Hey, everyone. Welcome back to Rollie Cross the Pond. I'm stressing out as well as excited today. As always, I'm your GM, Jesse, and we're doing Ready Player One today. So let's hope these guys get the next key. Awesome. Hi, guys. I'm Lee. I'm playing Crash Bash 87. Obviously, I died in the last episode, so I have to get a reskin, so it'll be good fun. I am playing Evenstar.
00:00:37
Speaker
That's my username. Sorry, L is the elf name. Oh, my first elf name. My second elf name is Evenstar because I died once and now if I die a second time, I will be out for good because, yep, I did half and half with my life. So that's a little bit nerve-wracking, but, you know, hopefully we'll get through this, survive all of the challenges.
Character Introductions and Game Dynamics
00:01:02
Speaker
Hello, I am Luke. I'm going to be playing characters you don't care about.
00:01:08
Speaker
If you do, please comment. Comment, send us an email. It is amazing. He's like a cat with like 27 lives, but they're all from like Nordic gods. I love it. I love it. So you last episode took an hour to figure out how to get to the shopping area. Then you finally get to the shopping area and you're like, OK, well, we got to get this, this and this.
00:01:34
Speaker
take time to do that and then you're trying to figure out okay where's this portal and so you're trying to figure out a portal and again another half hour passes and finally you guys decide to join the game you fail the game then you go into the library
00:01:49
Speaker
you pick up some notes that would give you hints about the game, and in that you found a secret entrance going backwards in the game, Davida, and you went up, pushed the button, received the key, received plentiful of gifts, I assume, and then, yeah, you notice that your teammates are not with you.
00:02:15
Speaker
And you received a clue in the way of a poem to the next key. And so that's where we are now.
Team Dynamics and Strategy Concerns
00:02:23
Speaker
To be that you have exited or you haven't exited, you have been teleported back to right outside the portal. And I will say, what is going through your head right now? I think I felt pretty guilty because I didn't know everybody was going to die.
00:02:39
Speaker
When I grabbed that and also, yeah, just confused because I think, yeah, I think she thought this was a, I was thinking that it was a group thing and that if one of the members of the group got it, then we all would. So I think I'm confused about whether or not this key is my key or the group's key and where the, because I, I don't know. I think we, I think I know that everybody that are my, my companions are able to return.
00:03:08
Speaker
but I don't think it was paying close enough attention to what their life was, so I'm not sure if I will see them again. I mean, I'm pretty sure I'll see Goro again, because I know he only died once, but I'm not sure if I'm going to see Luke again. Sorry, I said Goro, but I have to say Lee. So I am looking around bewilderedly, also trying to probably hide. I don't know if people know that I have a key now. Okay, perfect. That is exactly what I wanted to know.
00:03:36
Speaker
Okay. So I want you to roll stealth for me. So I rolled 11. You know what I will do? I will roll for now. You exit and your name is just being put on the board so you have a moment to get away before people start running towards you. Okay. So where do you go? To the library!
00:04:02
Speaker
In the library, because you won the key, you actually see a VIP-like area that you only can see.
00:04:13
Speaker
Oh, nice. What is... I'll go in there, I guess. Sure. In there, you also find Uber, but he's like more dressed in like a business suit. And he's like, Oh, welcome, welcome, welcome. Welcome to my shop. Can you choose?
00:04:33
Speaker
What to buy? And it's like, he says that he puts his elbow down and like this window opens and these like disguise options show up. This tunnel. So it's like one of the animated holes that you can throw on the floor if you need to get away. Like there's, yeah, different ways of hiding. But it's very expensive.
00:05:02
Speaker
So in that, as you're thinking about this and you're there, I want to go to Lee and Luke. So
Transformations and Shopping Spree
00:05:09
Speaker
no longer will you see Wario wearing a Colonial Marines outfit from Aliens, but you will see keeping with the Nintendo theme.
00:05:18
Speaker
Toad and it was a very grand debate. I was like, do I put Toad in a ridiculous outfit or something like that? No, I'm gonna pick in some TV shows that I like. I'm making him look like Walter White when he's cooking meth. So we're gonna go with that. So we've got Toad in a bio suit. That is what I'm looking... That's what I look like right now. So just imagine that. Clashes of cultures. That's what I'm going for. So hopefully I won't die.
00:05:43
Speaker
Lee, you told us what your character looks like, but have you rolled for your weapons? I have. Only one. And it's not really a weapon. It's quite an iconic piece of kit from one of my favorite movies of all time. I've gone with the hoverboard from Back to the Future. Oh, amazing. And I rolled an 18. But everyone knows the problems with hoverboards. If you remember the movie, there's a certain line that Buzz says,
00:06:11
Speaker
and it's very iconic so obviously you know Jess so you know the downfalls of it already so yes yes yes yeah so what benefits could it give me well i mean you get a bonus to your uh movement obviously okay and you can even pick it up and use it as a weapon you can use it as like a what do you call it a uh club okay yeah that's it just gonna hit people with the skateboard i love it i love it
00:06:35
Speaker
Sweet. Yeah, that's what I wanted this time instead of something ridiculous. So I'll go for something a bit more iconic and cool. Great. So you reappear close to the library where you died. Just to hurry the story along anyways. Yeah. Okay. I'll just open the like menu then that we have for our clan and then just like type in there saying asking where like everyone is and then just like try and meet up with them.
00:07:00
Speaker
I guess. Cool. And as you type that, Luke, do you want to give us a breakdown of your character? Very beautiful, muscular kind of man, long blonde hair, wearing very greenish colors, very druidic looking. Just to meet up with Lee again, because I know he's around. I just want to be up on a light, on a step, and then just kind of float down with
00:07:26
Speaker
my like net of a cloak as this like the sword just kind of follows behind me it's like slashing like what what did you roll what is this sword
00:07:38
Speaker
The sword was a nat 20. Oh, nice. Okay. Okay. Put that in the bank. I got a 19 and a 20 for these two. We'll say a lot of them were like, roll the two. Roll the... Yeah, so there's a lot of items that you cannot have. And then 20. So I was like, all right, I'll go with it. Good funny. Okay.
00:08:04
Speaker
Cool. I'll go for my emote wheel and I'll hilariously do the old school DAB on Be Like Awesome. And because I think it'd be really funny to see Toad DAB on somebody and then ask for a crisp high five. I'll like start out by doing like Gangnam Style and it's like, Oh, I know that. Okay. Yes. If you Gangnam Style, I'll join in with you. You know me. I'll join in. I'll just go on the wheel and do whatever, mate. And then the moment like Lee switches, I'll like do the high five or like, Oh, I missed it.
00:08:34
Speaker
We're just learning it. I'm literally teaching you how to use this emote wheel. It's amazing. So Davida, you see a message from Lee saying, hey, where are you at? And then I'll respond saying I'm in the VIP area of the library. I'm shopping. That's my comparison.
00:08:54
Speaker
So my question then to our lovely DM because obviously she's part of our clan and she had the key. Do we also see this area or is it just because you do not see this area? Amazing. So she's in a void. That's fun. Yes, but you do know she's in the library. Okay. So we know she's safe-ish. That's fine. Yeah. Cool. All right. Uh, I'll say I'll be out in a GIF or something like that. I'll be out in a bit, but yeah.
00:09:19
Speaker
Any, any emotes on there or anything or like, you know, email genes or whatever you call them? You can send a gif. Yeah, send a gif. Send something funny. Yeah. Like a gif of the, uh, Ghostbusters finding the ghost in the library or something. Yeah. To the library. To the library. There we go. We got this. So Davida, you are shopping. Do you want to buy anything? Is there anything?
00:09:48
Speaker
I will see if there is or how much it is an invisibility cloak.
00:09:56
Speaker
There's totally invisibility cloak there, like a hundred percent. It's, it's a long to be like, you see in the front, it's like Superman sunglasses or Superman glasses. You see like a, like a cap of the sky, blah, blah. And then you see these, like these full on like cape cloak of invisibility. You see,
00:10:21
Speaker
The invisibility suit, you go down, it's all there. So yeah, you totally see it. And how much is it? It is about a thousand. Ah, is Uber down to bargain? Is he down to bargain? Love that.
00:10:41
Speaker
So Uber, I would like to buy this beautiful invisibility cloak for the logo price of $100. Oh gosh, what are you doing with the large picture? Roll for sweaty shit. Roll for sweaty shit. Roll for sweaty shit. Roll for sweaty shit. And I'd pay it in, you doing a payment plan? That's amazing. Sure, roll flat. You know, isn't that opposed to that?
00:11:09
Speaker
Please be a 20. If a 20 is an auto, succeed. So please, dice gods, please. It'll be amazingly funny. Because everything- I only rolled seven, but I have plus two, so nine? Almost halfway there. You see Uber is just- No. I don't think I'm going to do that. $150 for a down payment. I will pay another $400 later once I get it out of the bank or on credit. I think he rolled for social disadvantage.
00:11:39
Speaker
Yeah, that was a six.
00:11:41
Speaker
He looks at you, he's like, ah, um, what about, didn't you get some winnings? I got 150 credits for winning that. No, no, no way. I've given you way more than that. I put that we put $500 in the bank. I kept $60, 60 gold pieces. And then I put, I gave you only 150.
00:12:10
Speaker
Oh, oh, oh, nevermind that. Wait, hold up. Okay. I put a comma 150,000 and I left out a zero at the end. I love how you're trying to bargain where we have literally a ton of money. I absolutely love this. Like literally we've got sandwich money. We could wipe our butts with that money. It's just a thousand. I think you gave me 150,000 and I wrote 150 comma zero zero. And I thought that dot was a
00:12:40
Speaker
Like, since, and I thought the comma was a dot, like, and then the zeros were, yeah, did not see that. I have enough money for that. I will buy it for a thousand dollars. Okay. But I need, I
Strategizing and Acquisitions
00:12:55
Speaker
need fake money. Oh yeah, fake money. This is, this is Uber. This is Uber talking right now. You're saying dollars. I meant to say gold. Oh, okay.
00:13:06
Speaker
Sure. Yeah, I have, I will pay you 1000 gold for this invisibility cloak. Oh, okay. Great. And since I realized I have all this money, I think I would like some other things as well. What would you like? I'll send a message to Lee and Luke saying, what kind of disguises would you like?
00:13:28
Speaker
Oh, I'm not going to even hesitate. I would love those Superman glasses. Just putting on a pair of glasses that makes you completely, like, disguised is amazing. Like, seriously, that's... I don't know if that was a thing in Ready Player One, but that's really cool. It was. Oh, was it? I was going to give you an absolute bonus there. Not brown, Jesse. I was going to say that was pretty sick. I'll definitely take them. That is really cool. Okay. 100%. How much are those? How much for the Superman glasses?
00:13:56
Speaker
A thousand. Nice. And did I hear anything from Luke? Luke, did you respond to that question? Yeah. Well, I'm trying to think if there's like, does it come in different variations? Something that's more to like. A type of disguise. What type of disguise would you like? That was my question to you.
00:14:18
Speaker
If we actually need to disguise, I don't want to just have three feathers and say I'm raw. But I want to actually be disguised. Is there a difference? So I will respond. So you want a universal disguise, something that adapts to your surroundings?
00:14:39
Speaker
And I'll be like, it's been a while since I've seen the movie that this game is based on. Isn't the Superman glasses, like Clark Kent glasses, just that you don't look any different, but you're wearing a pair of glasses, but people don't seem to recognize you. That's it. You kind of look different to other people, obviously, but not to yourself. Like, if you watch the film, he goes from like crazy hair to very slick back hair, and he's wearing a suit, and he's wearing the glasses.
00:15:08
Speaker
to where he takes it off. Yeah, when he takes it off, he's got the crazy hair. He's got the unbuttoned shirt. He looks different. Oh, I've got it. I'll even make it cooler. Luke, if you want them, I've got another disguise, which I would love. I would love this disguise. Because it's an old school Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle reference from those hilarious movies. I would love the wrath trench coat and hat. Yeah. Yes.
00:15:34
Speaker
yeah i'm double-coating i'm wearing you know the breaking bad suit i'm gonna wear a trench coat on top of that like more layers more layers let's go uber how much for the rat super coat uh disguise oh you know what i'm gonna throw
00:15:50
Speaker
I don't remember what he said. No, I'm going to remember this because we've kind of met the real Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in this game and they're thieves. So I want to be friends with them because they might murder us. Like, remember that we got a lift with them and they had so much luck in that. They literally murdered a lot of people or they're just really good thieves and they just collect people's life when they die. They just collect all their stuff, their hoarders.
00:16:16
Speaker
So he looks at you and he's like, hmm, well, you're buying a lot for yourself. I'll give it to you for 500. Okay, I have a question because I just realized that maybe the one ring would be more cool than having an invisibility cloak. Are you talking to Uber about this? And I don't know why I didn't think of that before I thought of invisibility cloak. That's amazing. That is literally amazing.
00:16:45
Speaker
Yeah, it's right there. Obviously, you can, you know, Sauron can see it, but... Yeah, but he's not real. No, I want them to be, I want them, I really, really want them to be a Sauron here, but it's what the one from the Lego Batman movie goes, what do you do? I see everything. Well, there's both. So there's that one and there's the actual...
00:17:13
Speaker
This guy just keeps on delivering. So this is the real one ring? Well, yeah. How much is it? About $250. $250? $2,500, sorry. I was just about to say, it's like, it's a quarter of a million. You've been like, oh, man, I will win the game. It's just because it's extra protected. So I got to go through all the locks and then, you know,
00:17:37
Speaker
I thought you were in charge here. I am in charge. So then it shouldn't be difficult for you to get through it. It's just so long. Would you take it for a thousand? No. Ah, add it to the cart. You know what? I'll take that and the invisibility cart. I already bought the invisibility cart. I'll take the invisibility cart. I can kind of work with like Morik. Can I add one really dark thing to this list if we're adding stuff?
00:18:02
Speaker
yes can i get a puzzle box please from a specific movie what a puzzle box is oh just ask ask for a puzzle box that might summon naughty things if that's available i love it no no no no it's um it's uh it's something you're talking about i do the little look knows
00:18:26
Speaker
Right? Let's just say it could be a hell-raising experience. Can I get a zenabyte box? Is that allowed? I just think it'd be really funny to have you here. I will ask Uber. Uber, do they have a zenabyte box? A one in my box? Of course he's not. Are you coming at me? No, we're good. We're good. I'm just trying to break the game. I'm sorry. No, we're good.
00:18:48
Speaker
Oh, okay. It sounds like he just wanted to break the game. So, nope. All we sell here are disguises, extra lives, and just three garments. Yes. How much for the extra lives? It's about five brand per life.
00:19:07
Speaker
Okay, so I will spend all of my money to get all of the lives. You're just wasting all the lives. Well, I mean, as many as I can get. How much money do you have? Plus I added the Superman glasses to my cart. Okay, so we have Superman glasses for 1000. We have the one ring for 2500. We have a visibility cloak with a already bought technically, and then
00:19:35
Speaker
trench coat for 500 and the extra lives how many do you have one one extra life how many do you have that's actually terrible they're here universe and it's just it's a coin machine a coin machine yeah i don't get it you put the money in a coin comes out
00:19:59
Speaker
And the coin is an extra life. Yeah. Can you give these extra lives to players? Can I give these away? You can do whatever you want. You buy them. Yes. Your money. 30, 30 lives. That's 10 extra lives each. I love this. Yeah. I'm going to say, if I'm going to keep losing them to every paper cut, I don't know. You said they were 5,000 each.
00:20:22
Speaker
Yes. Am I wrong? Yeah. I could get 29 and then I would have 1000 left. That works. Yeah. And so you leave with these disguises or do you leave? I want to ask how do the labs work?
00:20:45
Speaker
you die and then you come back as long as you're holding the coin. As long as you have the coin in your possession, like you don't have to be physically touching it. You have to have it, but you don't have to be like holding on to it. Right. Okay. Cause I was like, I don't want to actually like drop it or something. So if I distribute these between my party members, can I do that? If I drop this and my teammate picks it up, it will then be in their possession. Is that correct?
00:21:12
Speaker
I don't know. Uber, you are bloody useless, literally. Uber, you are bloody useless. Why don't you know this?
00:21:24
Speaker
If we have a bag of coins on us each then, and we die, and we've got one coin, we forgot all our coins on us, I'm assuming then one of those coins will be used to give us a life back. So I'm assuming if we keep all of them on there, that's fine. So we just got to have these constantly in our inventory, basically is what it is. Okay, so it's basically the dual inventory.
00:21:47
Speaker
that's what i'm saying so it's basically like a video game so if we do have them on us it's basically like mario we will have a live counter on our dial or whatever basically when we die the coin will go so it just prolongs the inevitable effectively right so if we die we don't drop these coins
00:22:04
Speaker
you do they they disappear they're gone yeah so the one if we don't want like the one you do yeah but the other ones are fine that's fine we're not going to lose those like we lost our other special no items right okay cool and then finally if you die you don't lose them let's just put it that way nice right they get cashed in effectively yeah so there are other ways to lose these yeah possibly yeah people these are expensive items so i guess people probably want to
00:22:34
Speaker
Oh, and one more thing. Do you Uber? Yeah, you know, in Lord of the Rings out, God, he was like, you know, you would have a queen both dark and beautiful. Do you have like a dark and beautiful gown that I can wear now?
00:22:50
Speaker
you have no idea. And he like, pulls out the, like, it like open, the door opens and all these gowns just slide out. And on top of that, as it slides out, this disc rolls with it and it kind of like does a spiral spiral and it lands. And then these mirrors pop out from the sides and this like, this 360 cameras on the top. So you can look at yourself like,
00:23:18
Speaker
I feel like this whole time there's been that really hilarious shopping music, channel music going on, literally in the background of what we've got. I love it. And so I will pick just a black gown that is... I will actually ask to see if this black dress, if there's a way to have it, have some sort of resistance against, I don't know, something being, I don't know,
00:23:47
Speaker
Necrotic and radiant in. Maybe I can get some extra armor. Just make sure it doesn't come with a cape. That's one long thing I would say. Just make sure it doesn't wear a cape. So he says, well, it depends. I can do add-ons, sure, but the cost extra.
00:24:03
Speaker
Yes, I would like to see how much a black dress would cost if I added on some resistance, like add some extra resistance like armor. How much would that be?
00:24:18
Speaker
He looks at you and he says, you spent all your reward. You've done almost all your reward. You've done so much. I hope not all this is for you. You did say you teammates or your clan mates. I'll give you the gown for free. You pay a thousand gold for the add-ons and I will throw in something extra.
00:24:46
Speaker
Why? Wait, why does this sound like a bargain that I'm nervous about? He looks at you and he says, you were the first one to solve what to do. Okay. Yeah, okay.
00:25:02
Speaker
And I see your heart, I see what you're doing and what you're trying to do. This is why this place has been made to continue this journey. And I want you to continue it. And I want you to be strong and be excited for what's to come. And I'm impressed by what you have done. So it's my gift to you. This sounds like you have some sort of condition though. Why is your tone of voice sounding like you have a condition involved with this?
00:25:31
Speaker
My creator is a bit weird and he has this kind of sarcastic tone all the time. Roll for... She still doesn't trust you. I love this. A deception and... It's like insight, insight, insight. No, I rolled a three. I will say you could take it as you want. Like either you trust them or you don't, but I can't swing your vote. What the heck? I'll give you my last thousand dollars and thousand gold.
00:26:00
Speaker
Yeah, I need the gold. You gave me the dress with the armor. What is the armor, by the way? What does it add to my armor? So the armor adds plus three to AC. Okay. And is resistant to fire and poison. Okay, we'll do it. Take all my money. And he also gives you a box and he says, if you need this, you know what to do. And he adds it to you.
00:26:30
Speaker
Okay. I will save it and open it once I'm with my companions. Okay. Yeah, make sure to kill us all. Yeah. It's supposed to happen. It's a tactical nuke. That's what it is. Pandora's. Yeah. Now they've given them the idea. Okay. Yeah, exactly. Pandora's box. Thank you. Thank you, Uber. Anytime. We'll probably be back for more questions. But in the meantime, good day to you. Oh, I don't know anything. I'm shopkeeper Uber. That's Uber over there. And he's like,
00:26:59
Speaker
Hi, I'm Uber. Oh my goodness, okay. This is the one that's like towed. The headmaster Uber or the master brain Uber, Uber, the Uber, Uber, Uber. And we will ask him. We're in the Ubers. We're in the Ubers. Yes. Thank you. Shopkeeper Uber. No, no problem. I got a kind of more of a 20 year deeper voice. Just remember that.
00:27:26
Speaker
Okay. You're welcome. So I'll message my clan and say, I got the goods and some extra lives. And
Decoding Clues and Planning
00:27:35
Speaker
I'll put them to heart emojis. Nice. 29 of them. You know, I'll put 29 hearts.
00:27:43
Speaker
So you exit this VIP, and are you guys just standing outside the wall area where you think it could be? We're just standing outside in front of the library, I guess, aren't we, Glue, really? I'm probably going to try to read a bit more. OK. So you're in the library. Yep.
00:28:00
Speaker
So let's cut to you, Luke. What are you looking for? What's piqued your interest? Out of boredom, what I picture is just more or less just spinning the rack just out of boredom. And then whatever you think would be the most interesting thing at the very front. Roll me a D8. Not the secret to the universe, but Jesse's most embarrassing memory or something like that.
00:28:29
Speaker
We're only a D8. I will tell you my most embarrassing moment. He's gone down the rabbit hole again. I'll do it. I got a one. A one. You know what? We'll say that's it. So you see, you know, I think most people I know kind of know about this, but it is my most embarrassing moment, basically. Great start. That is my most embarrassing moment. Hey Lee, look at this.
00:28:56
Speaker
I'm just going to smile from A to A and laugh out loud and smile. And I'm glad I missed that story. Yeah, wait, did Ariana hear any of that or? No. Beautiful. Thank goodness you didn't. Thank goodness you didn't. Just tell her that she missed out on the.
00:29:13
Speaker
I missed half of it. I only got the end. She's just chilling there eating sushi. So yeah, you see that. If you want to keep going, you can keep going. She was in there for a while.
00:29:27
Speaker
Oh, yeah, sure. No, I'll continue to walk to see if maybe I should look for something helpful. Second most embarrassing memory. But just another D8. Hey, these could be helpful. Another D8 or? Yeah, rolled D8. Four. Just trying to see, or less the title, it's not necessarily a specific book, but like one that says. Sure. This one is like, let's say, what the four? Hmm.
00:29:54
Speaker
you you see a book favorite childhood dreams okay yeah what what did what yeah it's childhood dreams so i can't figure out your current aspirations i'd love to know that no no i would be curious to see what that would be so you open well what did you what yeah what did what did you want to be when you were younger
00:30:13
Speaker
Well, when I was younger, I wanted to be a basketball star, um, travel, uh, what do you call it? A traveling basketball star, basically. But these are actually dreams as I had as a child, like while you were like proper, like I was
00:30:30
Speaker
being, I would be asleep in my bed, but I dream that like, whatever I want, if I like wash the last samurai, I dreamt that like, like samurai or like ninjas were climbing up staircase to my house, and I needed to lock down my house.
00:30:46
Speaker
or like another dream. I used to have this this reoccurring dream where I would get on my current animal, whether a dog, cat, whatever, and I just take them for a ride. I just go out like and just go riding on them.
00:31:06
Speaker
So it's like, it's reading the equivalent of every student film ever, or read it and go, she wanted to become a basketball star. And then he woke up. No, but in reality, I did want to be a basketball star, traveling, traveling basketball star. It's up to you how much time there is between the Vita coming back and
00:31:29
Speaker
Yeah, I'd say that's about it. So yeah, Davita, you show up in front of them with your stuff. No matter what you have, I have something even better and I pulled the first one. But they see me in the dark gown that I purchased as I walk out. Yeah, they see you exit this wall. And I actually look around the library because I'm not sure what they look like.
00:31:55
Speaker
but you see their name tags on top of the hood. Oh, okay. Oh, I do. Okay. So then, yes, I will go up to them and be, I guess I'll say like, you will now have a queen that is both dark and beautiful. I will hold up the one ring so that they can see what I got.
00:32:15
Speaker
I immediately go, my emote goes, boo, suck, yay. Like, I picked it. Don't worry, I got it. I will go to my emote wheel and do the fortnight one of going like.
00:32:30
Speaker
I'm my I guess the emote that I used when I showed that was the actual like, yeah, the floating cut scene where she her flaps, the dress is going. Yeah, definitely. My eyes started glowing when I did that. Yeah. Perfect. So I will wear that as a chain around my neck. And then I will. Okay, so I'll give the cloak to Luke, the
00:33:00
Speaker
trench coat and the glasses to Goro. And then I'll say and the final bit of amazingness that I bought was the extra lives. I got 29 extra lives. And we can split it almost evenly between all of us. I spent all my winnings, all my earnings. Good job.
00:33:22
Speaker
So, I guess I will give 10 to each of them and I'll keep the extra 9. I just quickly go, guys, watch this, emote wheel, and then I do the Zelda thing when you get a new item. Look at these guys! And then I'm putting... What do you do with every single coin? No, just everything together, because otherwise people will go insane.
00:33:50
Speaker
Yeah. So from that, you also don't forget you have that cube and you're already wearing the gown. Oh yeah. The cube. Oh yeah. That's right. I'm already wearing the gown. Yeah. And so they both have 10, 10 of those life coins. I have nine. Make sure you guys write that down.
00:34:12
Speaker
Oh, yeah. And then are you going to be doing this in the library or out the library in the library? And then I will say, also, by the way, I think we need to find a secret room or someplace where we can talk in private, because I think now that I am a like I've got the first key, everybody's going to want to see find me and maybe either take the key for me or I don't know.
00:34:37
Speaker
paparazzi so uber and i'll just ask for uber would you have the library uber i don't know okay yeah do you have a private study room in this library for us to have a private conversation that no one else can come into for all of you a private study room for the three of us yes i don't cost money uh why it's a library everything's free
00:35:01
Speaker
because it's free for everyone to use then. Everybody just pays me free. Is it, can you not see us in there? People see you now. If I go into a room, a private study room, they won't see me, right? I'll say, roll insight. Or perception. What'd you get, Lee?
00:35:26
Speaker
Luke got 20, I got 15. Great. So Luke, you take a moment to think about what Uber just said, and you look behind you and you see like glued
Exploring the Key House and Games
00:35:39
Speaker
to the glass front, or like eyes. Everyone is watching your Evita's every movement.
00:35:50
Speaker
went into a different world there. Davida's every movement, as well as your guys, but definitely Davida's. And Lee, you notice that too, but Luke, you notice that even the people that are going into the library, that are already in the library, are looking at things, but they're looking over their shoulder at her.
00:36:14
Speaker
Well, right, so my question is, because she's got the wrong, the one ring on her necklace, does she constantly have to have it on her finger to make her... She does have to have it on her finger to work. That's how it works. Yeah, maybe we just all go in our disguises and just leave, because no one will know it was us, because we'll be disguised. I'm a little bit nervous to use the ring. I mean, I know I could, but I'm a little bit nervous. You bought it for aesthetics!
00:36:40
Speaker
I wanted it for aesthetics, yes. Okay, do you want my trench coat then? So you're still hidden, and I don't mind just being out in the open. Well, you still have the Superman glasses. That's true. Do you want a trench coat? Although, no, glasses will probably bring your whole outfit together, right? Like, you don't want to hide that gown you just bought, so just saying. Yeah, not really.
00:37:03
Speaker
The, do I know a way that I can find my like number, my name on top of my head? That would be wearing the scouts. Okay. Okay. I'll just, I'll pass you the glasses so you can still look cool and stylish. Okay. I'll wear the glasses then. There we go. Cool. Okay. Okay. I have something else I want to share with you. I need to open this cube, but I also want to open it with you guys around. So you guys, if there's information in here, we all get it. Okay.
00:37:29
Speaker
So that's why I was looking for a private study room or something like that. So wait, the ring doesn't work as it's supposed to, right? You just got it for the study room. No, no, it works just fine. She just doesn't want to wear it. I'm a little bit nervous to wear it. And I would, and I will probably at some point. So I said it can happen, you know. I mean, right. It's like, I mean, he could send black writers to me, I suppose.
00:37:56
Speaker
Maybe, but they're all good. They only won the ring. They don't know anything else. I mean, if it's the ring from The Hobbit, then, like, Sauron maybe knew when Bilbo put the ring on, but he didn't have any power. So does Sauron have power in this game? You don't know that. We don't know. Well, that's the thing. It's a skin, ain't it? It's a skin. So we're probably gonna have, like, a giant, like, granny who is literally playing as Sauron. We never know. It would be quite funny.
00:38:21
Speaker
It would be quite funny. And that's why I said I will probably use it, but I'm just slightly nervous because... Hello, my name's Margaret and I'm Lord Sargrove! Like, it would be amazing. Honestly, that'd be the best thing ever. But, you know. So, all right, let's get back on track then quickly before we... Back on track, we need to open this box. I want to do it in private. But the question is, do we need to open the box? Because it said, what was said to you when you were given this box?
00:38:48
Speaker
that is because i was the winner i think he said that i wasn't really paying attention at that point i'm sorry i cannot met a game and luke and me cannot met a game so you can you literally can medicate oh sick yeah didn't he say something about you'll know when to use it at the right opportunity effectively oh did he say that luke am i right in saying that i think he seemed very sketched to you when he gave it to you but
00:39:16
Speaker
And he said, you know, when to use it at the right time. I think I was too focused on that particular element as well. Okay. So I will roll insight on this box to know whether or not I should open it now or wait later. I did that too, and I had two. So don't, don't tell me. That wasn't, oh, it was insight, right? 18. Yeah. You know.
00:39:41
Speaker
I don't know. With an 18? No, that's it. Yeah, you don't know if it's the right thing to do now or later. Wait, if I roll like a history check, if it looks like Pandora's box or the Hellraiser box or something, I would have encountered before. No, I'm pushing. If we had a Hellraiser box, that's amazing. That literally would be hilarious. But that would also break the game because we're not allowed nice. I'm also going to go back into the room, actually.
00:40:07
Speaker
the VIP library and ask a store owner, Uber, what he said about the box. I don't know what you want to talk about. I gave it to you as a gift. What is it for? You will know, trust me, you will hands down know when to use this. Like the GM will tell me, like the GM will tell me.
00:40:31
Speaker
I trust you there will be a moment in time where this will be needed. And the GM will tell me I will need it. Is that correct? And you will know to use it then. Good. Can you guarantee that? And if I don't know that I'm supposed to use it, I get my money back. All of it that I spent here. Sure. Well, that's okay. So if I very apparent loophole, but okay.
00:40:58
Speaker
Mattagaming right now, Luke. Mattagaming. 100% money back. If I'm not satisfied. Sure. Everything you spent on that cube, you'll get back. Oh, I see, because I didn't spend anything on that cube. I said, anything I spent here. And you agreed. And you said yes. And you agreed. I don't think I could hear what's happening in there.
00:41:26
Speaker
No, you can't sit, you can't hear. What happens if I don't know that I'm supposed to use this box? That I was wrong? Then I can get all my money back that I spent here. Okay. And you said, yes. You said, okay, right? Yeah. Okay. All right. Thank you, store Uber. No problem. Thanks for nothing. What did I do? I was being nice. You're being vague. I was, there was no vagueness. I'm going to walk out and call for library Uber. Hello, how can I help you?
00:41:55
Speaker
So store Uber told me that I would know when to use this box. And he said I would know and that he would give me my money back if I didn't know. But can you guarantee that the GM will tell me when I need to use this box? I don't know what you're talking about. What box? Aren't all the Ubers like semi-connected to one consciousness? We never said that. It's a common misconception about twins.
00:42:23
Speaker
We don't read each other's mind. Forget it. What do I need to do to know where the next key is? You got a clue, right? I can't remember. Wait, one more question before you tell me about the clue.
00:42:46
Speaker
This key that I got, if I do not pick up, if I don't physically pick up the other two keys, will nobody win technically? You must pick up the key. I must physically pick up the other two keys if I want to win this game and we cannot win it as a team. Is that correct? You cannot win it as a team.
00:43:10
Speaker
Why was that a head circle? Yes, now. You cannot win it as a team. You started shaking your head, but then you started nodding and it ended up as a circle. That's correct. Right. Oh, this is hilarious. I'm pretty sure he told us we can win as a team. Like a while ago. You can win as a team. We can win as a team, but only one will get out alive. I never said, I never said one will get out alive. I said, you can win as a team. No one's getting out alive. I told you before.
00:43:40
Speaker
If we all win, can we all get out alive? You are in charge. You choose. That does not answer my question. You choose. That also terrifies me.
00:43:56
Speaker
Okay, right, quick question. What was the rhyme? Let's get back on the track because I know that we need to get a key. If we die, we die. I've got like 11 lives, we're fine. I just need to know if I need to be the one to grab the other two keys. That's 100% you are, 100% you have to be. Okay, but what happens to them if I don't grab them? We die in the game, but then we use an extra life and come back, so we're fine.
00:44:22
Speaker
What does that mean? They have to go through that first challenge and get the key? So they also have the key? Yes, no. I mean, they have the key. It's in your clan. You guys are going to win as a team. Yeah. So you need to be the one to get it. Yeah. So you need to make sure we help you get the keys now. That's basically it. Cool. All right. And I'm sorry about killing you guys. I forgot to say that. That's fine. Don't worry. It's all good.
00:44:50
Speaker
Did not know that was going to happen. Fine. OK, the clue is... Yes, what is the rhyme? So the rhyme is, I live among my brothers in a house not far away. I'm the key that you must find to move ahead today. Repeat it again, please. So I live among my brothers in a house not far away. I'm the key that you must find to move ahead today.
00:45:17
Speaker
And you said there's NPCs in this world, other than us, correct, Jess? Yeah. Okay. Are the brothers, are we thinking that the brothers are the other keys? I was thinking more along the line of like, if there's other NPCs other than us, obviously, because we have all these things, but if there's like, AIs like Uber and whatever that are in here, that there might be a brothers that are related somewhere that might be the key, might go see them, but I don't know.
00:45:44
Speaker
But it does say, it says I'm the key that you must find. So it's as if this isn't the point of view as the key talking. Yeah. That's why I'm thinking this key is saying he lives among his brothers. Does that mean he lives in the same like, it's not in the same game, is it? You don't think we have to do the game again, the same one we just did? No.
00:46:07
Speaker
We've met one group of brothers, but I don't think they're them because that was a different client and they, they, they, they're scary. So no, it wouldn't be them. I will do an insight on whether or not I was right about this being the same game that we have to do a second time to get the next game. And that's an insight. Yes.
00:46:28
Speaker
I'm not liking this die. I rolled a 10. Do I get advantage because I'm with them now? Yeah. Are we helping? Sure, sure. I don't know, it's up to you. If you help, you can't roll your own insight. No, no, no, no. Remember, it was a inactive. Oh, right. No, but that was only with like active things, not passive things, I don't think.
00:46:53
Speaker
Oh no, because you, I think you did roll perception. Yeah. Yeah. You know, it's fine. You get advantage. Yeah. I was going to say, I think all of our roles had advantage now that we're. I'm not a hundred percent sure. I'll have to re-listen, but yeah, for now it's fine. So you roll with four helps. It'd be good. I rolled 11 this time.
00:47:12
Speaker
Ooh, better. He's getting up there in the numbers. Anybody else want to roll? Do you guys want to roll to see if I might be right on that particular idea of it being same game? Or do you have your own who you want to roll for another reason? Or another. I can give you the answer to yours, Davida. I'll probably be with Davida, but I got 18. 18? I got 18, but I don't think the one matters. It's not like the same game. No. Okay.
00:47:42
Speaker
I want to see if there's any AIs that are brothers and if there are NPCs like Uber and stuff around. Oh, sure. Like automated. Yeah, because because it's talking about.
00:47:56
Speaker
I live among my brothers find basically them. So yeah, I'm not going to find much with a three. So we're good advantage. Oh no, I can roll with advantage. Thank you. Oh yeah. That's a, that's, that's just a 14 though. So it's not with the 14. Um, no, not really. Not like brothers. Okay. Okay. Is the, I,
00:48:20
Speaker
in I live among my brothers, the same as I in the, I'm the key that you must find as in is I, is the definition of I the key, the key role. I'm just asking. Yeah. Because, cause Lee thinks it's a, it's because it might be an NPC that it's talking about. And I think it might just be talking to itself. Meanwhile, the rhyme master is sitting next to you. I know. And she's smirking. Yeah. No, I can see, I can see the smirk.
00:48:54
Speaker
What did you roll? A 12. 12, with advantage? With a 12, you don't think it's an NPC. It could be a key, could be the key. Not sure. All right, can we take a step outside and see if there are any houses nearby? Yeah, I rolled a 13 to look at maps in the library, but... 13!
00:49:17
Speaker
Are you looking at general maps? Or local maps? If you mean like specific maps, then here, like around the house not far away. Oh man, am I going to be that nice? I got to roll something. With a 13, you can be very vague, I think. Okay.
00:49:40
Speaker
You see a lot of different themed houses, themed houses. Yeah. Okay. Is there like Mario or, or like ones that I can, I can think off the top of my head being like, Oh, well that's clearly two brothers. You know, there is, uh, like a super Mario house shirt. Okay. What were you, what were you looking for? Uh, Davita?
00:50:04
Speaker
is there yeah is are any of those houses um houses that um they're themed houses i guess but yeah my insight would be what's the right one can i roll wait sure i'll roll to see if i can distinguish what the right one is wait this okay wait this poem when i could get about 20 it's a possibility wait this poem wouldn't have been written specifically for the library i don't think no
00:50:32
Speaker
I'm just claiming it now, not specifically for the library. Yeah. Cause Uber hasn't got brothers. They're all the same being, aren't they? They're not all brothers. So it wouldn't be a house near here. This map is not necessarily of the local area. It is. Yeah. Because it lives close by. What did you roll? 20. No way. Yep. You.
00:50:59
Speaker
Yeah. You see, you see, like, you see Luke's holding this like map and it's like looking at it. He's like, oh, Super Mario. And you're like, well, let me look. And you look and you see underneath his thumb where he's like pushing on it is the Key House. The Key House is what it's called. It's yeah, it is the Key House from Lock and Key. Oh gosh. Is that a show?
00:51:28
Speaker
It is a show and a book. Oh. No, no. I haven't seen that show. But I will say, hey, look, right there. That's his key house. I think that might be where we need to go. Oh, I'm just glad we got extra lives, guys. That's all I'm saying. Oh, gosh. OK. While we walk, you tell us about this key house or tell me about it because I have no idea what this is.
00:51:52
Speaker
With a natural 20, I will also say you're not looking for the key key. You're looking for a key, not the key. Yeah. It'll be the old rusty one with only one wing. Okay. The one that literally is made out of wood. Yeah. The rubbish one. Yeah. That's the way it is.
00:52:09
Speaker
So you head over and you see a long path of woods, right and left view, but a long path down. And in that you see a well house to your right, I believe, and a graveyard in the distance, and this massive mansion with steps leading to the entrance. All right, are you guys ready to do this?
00:52:38
Speaker
Sure. By the way, Luke, I was going to ask you, which Norse god is this? Freyr or Freya. Great. It was it was going to be Freya if it was going to be the person beside you. But this is Freyr, her brother.
00:52:52
Speaker
So you just masculinized the Freya? No, Freya is a real God. I thought it was just like the masculine version. Like a male version. Like they were twins and it is highly theorized that they were the same person. Okay. Interesting bit of lore. I didn't know.
00:53:12
Speaker
Now, you do see other player characters around. This is not an exclusive to Key Searching. There was a dice or a number above the buildings that we... Does this one have anything above it? So this key does not have it above it.
00:53:34
Speaker
There's no, like, well, obviously there's people don't know this is where the second key is. But do they get a certain amount of like, like, is there anything else above it or something? Because I feel like it just says it on the map. It just says the key house. And that's it. All right. I guess I will engage conversation with some people, but I am wearing those glasses. So they might just think I'm just a regular player character.
00:54:03
Speaker
not the winner of the last key. Yeah, yeah. Who do I see around me?
00:54:09
Speaker
You see, oh man, I was gonna throw the funny one today. Let's see, let's see, helpful, not helpful. You see a, oh man, I was gonna go straight up Disney. I'm not gonna go that far yet. You see three little pigs. Yes, I was literally thinking about the three little pigs when you said the, when I read the thing about a love among my brothers, I was like, I wonder if it's one of the three little pigs.
00:54:40
Speaker
So they're like, skipping out, like, yeah, let's just finish the this game. So finished, we just watched. Oh, you can watch. You can observe this game. Yes. There's, yeah, there's so many games. Oh, this, this, this house, this key house has many games. Yeah, you take a key to a door and play the game.
00:55:04
Speaker
Oh, so you have to find a you pick a key and and unlock a door and it and it's a game any multiple number of games. I guess so. And you guys just watch somebody play a game. Yeah, there's an observed there's an observation deck. Oh, okay. What kind of game were you guys watching?
00:55:24
Speaker
Oh, there's Pokemon Stadium. That's that's this guy. He and the little ones. Yeah, I like it. I, you know, the battling and the tactics. Yeah, that's great. So we, you know, we just finished that one. Okay. Can you pick which which one you want? Like, you know, which key goes to the Pokemon Stadium? It's really what key finds you. The key finds you.
00:55:48
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. Have all the games that are on here been played before? I don't think anybody's ever finished all the games, no. You know how many there are? Do you give me a second? Let me count. There are 27,560. Yeah, this pig changes his face to David Attenborough. Yeah, we've been here for several years. We still haven't done all the rooms.
00:56:12
Speaker
David Attenborough, Adam Bohr. Bruh, bruh. David Attenborough.
00:56:19
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, exactly. So there is, I think there's nine, if I counted correctly. And I'd be like typing in the chat because I've already put on my cloak. Are we, would we be the Pokemon? Are you? Hello, little pig. Do you know if that Pokemon one is you are playing the Pokemon?
00:56:44
Speaker
Yeah, it's a clan thing. So one person is the person, then the other ones are the Pokemon. So if your clan goes in together, one person plays the trainer, the other plays the Pokemon? Yes. That's terrifying. And you're fighting another clan? Yes. And if you defeat that clan, then you get to win? Yes. Okay. Great question. Was there any games that you saw that involved like cutting puzzles together like with
00:57:14
Speaker
I don't know, say triangles or cubes or anything like that. It was like any puzzle based stuff like that. There's a Tetris. Tetris is in there. Yeah. Hmm. Well, NES games. I started going. Hmm. OK. Is there somewhere we could just like see a list of the games instead of asking? No, by one. OK. No, there isn't.
00:57:43
Speaker
Could I? Is a jumpy frog one of them? No, there's no jumpy. Thank God that's not Frogga. Oh God, that'd be dangerous. That'd be so bad. A flappy bird. Um, you know, a flappy bird. You do, you do hear, um, the, uh, the guy, the middle, the medium pigs, it's like, yeah, I lost my wife to the, to the super smash bros. They have smash bros in here. Yeah. What was her character?
00:58:13
Speaker
Lost is Kirby. I didn't say that out loud. Kirby? You should be really good at Kirby. I'm sorry for your loss. And I literally type in the chat, you lost with Kirby. That's so embarrassing. But yeah, just for the sake of being a meme, F. Yes. Yes. Okay. Cool. I don't know what to be to get that, but F. I do not get it now. Okay. Sorry. Perfect.
00:58:42
Speaker
We forgive you. We forgive you. So good. All right. So what do you do? I do a Evo wheel of a, I don't know, someone scratching their head, I guess. And then I say, thank you, three little pigs. And you're welcome to my party and say, OK, do you guys want to go in and try and figure out which key is the right one? They skip away.
00:59:12
Speaker
the middle one's like don't laugh this is how we have to walk we've got Tetris we've got Pokemon fighting arena from the sounds of it someone said smash bros that's even more terrifying yeah can we just like observe the games and see what they are yeah let's do that
00:59:30
Speaker
Yeah. You enter this house. It looks like a casual house. There's a sofa. There is like a little tea table. There's a piano. It's pretty casual. But to your right, you see this shag carpet. And in that, there are these, like, what you see them as, they're like glass storage areas where they're holding different things.
00:59:57
Speaker
but you do see every so often somebody appear in front of that and then just take it and leave. And you see a greenish glow in front of them as well as in front of every door, there's also a greenish glow. And as you enter, I want you to roll a D20 for me, all of you. 18. I got a five. Nine. I'm going to the party, Luke.
01:00:25
Speaker
Go Luke, you are our only hope. Oh, that's a funny joke.
