Introduction and Podcast Journey
00:00:00
Speaker
Hello and welcome back to Episode 7 of the Electric Police Podcast. As always, I'm Jan. I'm here with my co-host, Alex. Hello, hello. And, uh, weirdly, it's just two of us today. Whoa! I know, it's, it's, it's...
00:00:16
Speaker
It feels a little weird, honestly. I mean, it's been what, like two months since we just did just the two of us for an episode. So. Yeah, I know. Oh, damn. Seven episodes. That is mental. I know. We've been going a while. We've been going a while now. I mean, I mean, I'm still enjoying it. It's still going great, I think. Yeah, I think it's great.
00:00:35
Speaker
We're gonna have to work on finding more guests as well. We will try to find more guests. We can put the other quite a list of people that we can have on. Yeah, I think there's at least three episodes worth of guests that I can think of. That'll be good. Yeah.
D&D Recap and Puzzle Solving
00:01:01
Speaker
We had, I feel, quite an interesting session on Monday of D&D. I feel like I dropped quite a lot of information on you guys. Oh, God. That was a big session. I'm not going to lie. That was a very big session. It was. It was. What a bit of a big session.
00:01:22
Speaker
Do you want to briefly fill in? God. Okay, so we went to... See if you remember it accurately. Yeah, so there's a map, like you guys won't be able to see the map, but there's a map of these gobbly high outs over there, the area we were in, like the country area.
00:01:37
Speaker
And there's also like small landmarks that we go visit. So once we visited a tower, I think we talked about the tower before, where there was a necromancer of sorts, magic magic. Who someone skinned. Yes, yes. Yeah, that was a really big fight for us where a few people died. So we went to that time and then we went to this place Stonehenge. Not officially called Stonehenge. It doesn't have a name.
00:02:05
Speaker
There isn't a game yet. You will. It's absolutely called like the the resting place of whatever that man's name is. I can't remember his name. His name always strikes me. Nathaniel. Yeah. But yeah, we we went there and there was like a little puzzle to start.
00:02:27
Speaker
to get in which I found fun because I solved the puzzle like Dan so here's the thing it's not a thing Dan would do but I was I like puzzles so I just decided to solve it.
Debate: Low Intelligence Characters Solving Puzzles
00:02:39
Speaker
That is something I actually wanted to discuss today in that Dan should absolutely not have been able to solve that puzzle. I hate I hate DMs and players who say you've got an eight intelligence and you as the player can't get involved in this
00:02:55
Speaker
puzzle i think that's so boring i agree and i agree it's it's it's a
00:03:00
Speaker
In my opinion, a shit way to play and not the way you play. I don't like generally telling people how to play. I think that is a bad way to play. No, I agree. So I'm happy that I like puzzles in real life. Like I said, I enjoy puzzle games and puzzles. For instance, I have played like 4000 games of chess, not even a joke in the past, like a year and a half, two years. I played about 4000 games. Nice. Yeah. I love puzzles. And I got there. I was like, yeah, puzzle.
00:03:27
Speaker
And then when I, so when I finished it, I was like, you know, Dan wouldn't do this. I was like, you know, Dan would not have a clue. So now because you kind of walked up and went, OK, I've got this. The second the four elements was mentioned, I was like, yeah, that has to be what it is. It has to be. There's no other way. But yeah, and then I was just like, oh, so Dan does puzzles now, basically Dan's part time puzzle, puzzle doer and puzzle maker. Sure.
00:03:56
Speaker
part-time knight in training, part-time merchant, part-time puzzler. Yeah, so we did the puzzle and it was an underground crypt thing. Basically the first place we went to on the map that was like a landmark also was an underground crypt thing for the same guy and there was like a little riddle where one person had to read something out and cut some blood. Had to be a half elf, it was the whole thing.
00:04:23
Speaker
So we went there, we went to this place and we had a little look around of the first place. There was a fountain which had fancy flames. Nothing has struck me about the fountain yet. I'm sure there's something to do with the fountain. I haven't figured it out yet. I will, but just not yet, because we haven't got all the information from all the rooms. So I'm just leaving it in the back of my mind for the moment. OK.
Battle with the Golem
00:04:49
Speaker
But yeah, and then we went into another room.
00:04:54
Speaker
Uh, you yeah, I think you possibly went into one of the most important rooms first. Yes. Um, this was like a, like a library, um, is, is the, like a library slash bedroom. Cause there was a bed and stuff. Um, the quarters as you will, uh, the owners quarters. Um, and we went in there and there was this like golem thing. Uh, was it a toy something? Uh, a clay golem. Yeah. Um, but I kind of.
00:05:20
Speaker
home brewed it to make it less powerful. Yes. So we went to fight it and me and Tony, he died. Yeah. Yeah. Wasn't that Dan's first experience going down? Yes, it was actually Dan's first experience going down and it was like awful. We'll have to address that next session because I completely forgot this first time. Yeah, it's the first time Dan's gone down because like I went there, I ran to hit it.
00:05:49
Speaker
I wasn't even the first in the room, but because of action surge, I got there really quickly. Yes. To which I got there, I missed my hit, like Dan does. In general, when he action surges, he'll miss his hit. But I got there, I got battered, like I got hit really bad. I think I went down to like eight health or something like that. Yeah, that's him. Yeah, I think it was about eight health.
00:06:18
Speaker
And then I used my second wind and, you know, I had potions and I forgot to use them, but I use my second wind. In fact, I don't even know if there was a chance to use my potions. Now that I say that, I think when I use my second, so I got six HP back from my second wind.
00:06:40
Speaker
And then I like, that did nothing because I think I went down. You could have, you could have used your potion in that round because it would have been a bonus action. Oh, so second wind, that's the thing. Second wind is also a bonus action. Oh, okay. And I use, I use second wind because I get, I would theoretically get more because it's a d12 plus two. Oh, nice. As opposed to two d4s plus two or something like that. Three, something like that. Whatever it is. Whatever the protons are.
00:07:09
Speaker
Yeah, so I was like, okay, cool. And then that meant nothing because like the next round, I got knocked. I went unconscious. Me and Ted both did. So this thing had three attacks and battered us. And we both have an AC of 19. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It was rolling with like a plus six or seven. Yeah. We got like, there was like five, 24s. Yeah. It meant nothing. I think it missed once on tier.
00:07:38
Speaker
and once on me, maybe. Yeah, I was running weirdly well. Yeah. So I went down and then Tia went down.
00:07:47
Speaker
and then the others, which is actually a big problem because the others don't have health. This is like a thing. It's a big gap from me and T to everyone else in terms of tanking. Yeah, yeah, it is. It is, yeah. The second we went down, none of them can pull aggro because they would die. I think Lila got knocked, right? Did she? Almost. Almost. I think she's possibly. She's what, like 14 health?
00:08:17
Speaker
Something like that. Something low amount. So she must have been very close. But you guys managed to stop it? Just about.
Prophecies and Campaign Dynamics
00:08:29
Speaker
Yeah, honestly, I was scared. So Tyr got back up. So he had a saving throw, got back up and then went back down.
00:08:36
Speaker
I stayed down. Yeah, I stayed down. And my first role, so we have a thing, it's a rule we saw online where when you make your roles, you do it in private. So no one knows. Yeah. But to the DM. Yeah. So my first role was a 14, but I did it to everyone. So I said, I'd roll again. I got 13 and I saved. I was like, okay, that's a good start. My second role was a natural one. And I was sat there sad.
00:09:05
Speaker
I think I did an awful job of hiding it. My face didn't drop. I always worried that I was like, oh shit, have I just killed Dan? My face didn't drop. I was just like, that was a roll. Lila knew that I'd definitely gotten that one. It was bad. It was really bad.
00:09:21
Speaker
The thing that makes it worth it, if we chose that session to start with cameras, so everyone just saw you sat there like, just like rocking back and forth. I was genuinely concerned. I was just so shut shitting myself. I was like, oh, don't tell me Dan's dead. That was it.
00:09:39
Speaker
they managed to kill it before it came back to my death saving role and get me up. It must have been like a second before I needed to roll. I was I was looking at my other time ago and I was like well Dan's gonna have to make a death saving throw in a minute. I was watching it I was like oh. I was literally thinking I was like oh god it must have been what so how I must have had what like um 20 something seconds or whatever
00:10:03
Speaker
It's six seconds. I must have been like 20 seconds. And I sat there like, yeah, you guys got me up the last possible second. I did make the save afterwards just to make sure I would have saved. And I did. I got 15. So I would have saved. But that means it would have come down to the last role. And I think I would have died. I had no faith. I agree. But I tell you, when I rolled that one and looked on my screen and I saw it just fade into the one and I was just like,
00:10:35
Speaker
When I saw it come up, I was like, oh, shit. It was really bad. Oh, shit. I think that might have been the closest anyone's been to dying.
00:10:47
Speaker
Yeah, no, I think oh no cuz Lila came close to insta death perma death. Yeah Oh, yeah, that was close as well. Yeah, I forgot about that. Damn But the room the room itself was possibly or what I think you like So this this room was uh, it's obviously it was like a there's a bedroom slash library but the books were diaries of this guy whom Predicted a lot of things before he died a lot of important things
00:11:18
Speaker
For instance, there's a new prophecy. Yeah, very accurate. But there is a new prophecy. So how many... I've given you what, three prophecies now? Or slightly different? Three. Yeah, and they're all slightly different. Which... It's really messing with my head. I'll tell you what, it really is. I'm having a great time watching you guys try and puzzle this out. Yeah, I'm convinced that I've gotten
00:11:46
Speaker
45% of incorrect. I feel like that's the amount I've gotten at maximum 45 minimum is nothing. But I feel like I feel like 45% I think I figured out. It's just there's so much information I don't know. Like regardless of law, it's just gonna be hard to figure out. Yeah, we got so we got a new prophecy in that room. We got some other information. You did.
00:12:15
Speaker
For instance, we figured out this man was predicting things to a high degree. Honestly, I feel like if I didn't law dive, I would never have figured that out because no one would have known the whole he was dead before any of those kings existed. Yes.
00:12:39
Speaker
Yeah, but that helped with the prophecy, which was the very last thing he wrote. Supposedly, supposedly it's the last thing he wrote. Supposedly. Supposedly. That's the last book that was written, which is really important. But it's only books that go up to the third age from the second age. So it's like a limited period of time. I mean, it's still a big chunk.
00:13:10
Speaker
in like relative terms, in like years, but it's like a bunch of stuff. I think it goes to like 456 or whatever. It goes to like A-law and that's like the third age 456, I think. Something like that. It's 400 and something, I think. Yeah, so A-law was from the fourth age. Ah, fourth age, ah. Yeah. Okay, yeah.
00:13:34
Speaker
Yes, there's a lot of ages that don't like that, and the calendar refreshes in the new age, it's understandable. Yeah, so that was big, like it was really big information. The prophecy, so the new prophecy has added like a whole bunch to conspiracy theories. It has, it definitely has. Because who are the siblings? Who are they? It's who are the siblings?
00:14:01
Speaker
It's just it's I know people think it's the Shah and Lila. I'm quite certain it's not them. OK. The fact I don't think they're related because I don't think they're the same race. OK. Well, they're not the same race anyways. I think one of them's lying about their race. I'm not sure who, but one of them. Right. OK.
00:14:29
Speaker
But so I don't think it's got anything to do with them. No one knows who the hero is going to be, which is like not helpful. The hero is going to be someone, obviously. So the heroes, it's political. Oh, yeah, heroes. Yeah. I don't think we're the heroes, though. I think we've just stumbled across this prophecy by accident. I don't think it has anything to do with us.
00:14:55
Speaker
But we would have to figure out more things to understand who the people, the heroes would be, right? Yeah, and we've got to figure out the siblings. God, there's so much to unpack. It's insane. If you guys were in this campaign today, there is a lot to unpack with this prophecy. There is, there is. Do you want me to let you into a sacred? Sure.
00:15:20
Speaker
You know that first place you went to, that tomb, was there when you got the first prophecy? Yeah. King Nisrani was born in that session. I had plans in the end of this, and it all just spawned from that. Fair enough. That's fair enough. Damn. Like, I had the prophecies beforehand, and I was like, shit, how do I... I'd given Lila her prophecy.
00:15:50
Speaker
And I was like, shit, now how do I give the others their one? Because they were meant to be like opposing prophecies. Yeah. And then you were like, oh, we want to go to this place, this tower to me. But I was like, fuck it, short. It's going to be in there. And then I just came up with the idea of it all while making the map. And I was like, sure, King Nathaniel, sure, the seer. He made a prophecy.
00:16:17
Speaker
just come from that and then you guys kept talking about that and I was like wouldn't it be funny if I just gave them like 10 different properties they're all just slightly different just to watch them confuse the fuck out of them but uh
00:16:33
Speaker
That's kind of where I'm at now, but I think it worked out well. It has. It has worked out very well. It's intriguing. It's intriguing. And a lot went into the, I'll tell you what, a lot went into the chat. Oh really? A lot. Like the second you dropped it, like I was, we were, we were sat
00:16:52
Speaker
looking at each other's faces, writing in the Facebook group chat. A lot went into that chat, like so much. Really? Yeah. So while I was dreaming, you guys were chatting shit in that chat you've got. We were trying to figure out the whole, this was like at the end of the session after the prophecy came, we were trying to figure out what the hell was happening. Okay. But like, I burnt my brain cells out on that day. I even wrote it in the chat that I couldn't think of anything else.
00:17:22
Speaker
I'm like, apart from what I said, because my brain was running too fast, because I was thinking of so like, I was baffled. I've never been so just, I've never fought for so long about something and not made any progress in my head. I was just like, I don't know what's happening. So if you're comfortable, what's your working theory and who the siblings are? My closest is Astarov and Vespiro.
00:17:53
Speaker
That's what I think is logically in my brain. So literally about five seconds ago, no, not five seconds, like a minute ago, it dawned on me that the siblings don't have to be gods. I don't know why it's taking this long. It could be possible. I don't know if the Nazi got the current one.
00:18:17
Speaker
I don't know if that's his name. I don't know if he's got siblings. It might be him. I have mentioned that he's got a nephew. He's got siblings. It might be him. It just dawned on me. I was like, they're really strong and thoroughly important and King Nathaniel
00:18:41
Speaker
he's known a lot about this bloodline of kings and queens and he has rulers and it's dawned on me that it's possible that it could be them they could be the siblings him and his sister because they are strong and they are dragons obviously i don't know if people does the people in just regular society know they're dragons
00:19:04
Speaker
Or is that like a? Yeah, because there's there's the story of, you know, Alyssa who destroyed that one, like one area of the of the empire because they pissed her off. So the people are well aware that they're dragons. So they can turn into dragons. Like it could be they could be the siblings that wreak havoc because of a star that's fallen.
00:19:29
Speaker
that star could possibly be Gilligan for. This theory right now is gaining a lot of traction in my head. So much. So much traction. That's literally, I just thought of that. I don't know why I just had an opinion. Would it annoy you if I told you that when do they have figured out what the star is? No!
00:19:55
Speaker
They have. They have on Wednesday they figured it out. Aww, fuck. Seriously?
00:20:06
Speaker
No, seriously, yeah. They're going to come on in a few weeks. I'm going to expressly tell them they are forbidden from telling you. They are not allowed to reveal anything. I feel stupid now. They figured the stuff. There are things that you know that they don't and the things that they know that you don't. Oh, okay. So it's got to do with their recent because they diverted from us now. We're no longer doing the same stuff. They are diverged, yeah.
00:20:32
Speaker
That's so much more. That's going to bug me. You know, that is going to bug me so much. It's exactly what I have told you. So they OK, but knowing what the star is, doesn't it helps to a little degree, right?
00:20:49
Speaker
They'll know what's going to hit, but they won't know what the reaction will lead to. I would rather find out what the reaction of the star hitting is because then I can just choose which prophecy we want to fulfill. In my head, that makes sense, right? Obviously, we won't have a large choice in the prophecy we want to fulfill because there's probably a guaranteed one or one that's more likely to happen than the others. We just got to figure that out.
00:21:17
Speaker
Damn, they know the star. Ah, shit. Ah, yeah. You know, I've never properly thought about the star. In my head, it's going to be a Chaos God or something along the lines of that.
00:21:32
Speaker
because it is meant to bring chaos. Now, we have done some theories via metagaming. Obviously, Dan's not going to know that. These are just theories that we have come up with as players as opposed to our character. Because I think I have an important bit of information, which I've only
00:21:52
Speaker
I only really know because we made subclasses and you have subclasses that you've made for this campaign based on chaos now.
Character Insights and Motivations
00:22:05
Speaker
In my brain that means there's something to do with this star because you told me about them a little bit.
00:22:14
Speaker
Which has led to like some metagame theories, so there's the Lord of Chaos Vorogos something like that Yeah, yeah My other theory and I sent this to the chat Which is like a loose theory is that this is just him Fucking with everyone right and then
00:22:36
Speaker
He will release the star. It's his. Everyone be prepared for some next prophecy to be filled and it won't happen. And it's just going to be a bunch of deaths because it's like a red herring. OK, that's my loose theory. That's my it's unlikely. But in the event that your man decides to just, you know, mess with our heads the whole time, there's like a 10 percent chance it might happen.
00:23:03
Speaker
I don't think it's probable, but I think he has something to do with the prophecies anyways, because he's a background. Like I have a sneaking suspicion. There's something to do with him. Yeah. Yeah. So I do have like stat sheets for all 10 of the all 10 of the living ones. Yes, yes, yes.
00:23:26
Speaker
So they are fighting, you can go and fight them. I wouldn't suggest it at level two. I wasn't planning on it. Good, good. You're not at level two. But there are... I'm trying to monitor what I say now.
00:23:53
Speaker
I did state in the chat that whatever prophecy happens, we'll start the fifth age. I'm positive that will be the case. I'm like 95% sure that's going to be the case. Yeah, I mean, that was confirmed in the first, in the King's coronation speech when he said like, a star is falling, the scholars want a new age. Yeah, yeah. I'm like 95% sure that that will revolve around everything.
00:24:22
Speaker
new age. If it will start after the prophecy or like when the star hits and then the prophecy happens, I don't know. We'll find out. So there has been metagaming. People are still withholding information. That's a fact.
00:24:47
Speaker
people are withholding information which might be relevant to this stuff. I don't know. And then the other theories are decent, I think. A lot of it is just
00:25:06
Speaker
What's it called? Trying to figure out who is what and what everyone else's backstories are. That is what the chat is about, as opposed to conspiracy theories. I put in a lot of conspiracy theories for the prophecies and less about who is what because the prophecy is more at the moment than they do who are like who is not what they're saying they are, which is like, I think,
00:25:34
Speaker
I don't know, five, six of our party, well, four, six of our party, give or take. It's not great, is it? It's just not a group more like 25 sessions then. And you're still not sure what four of the party is. The only person I trust is what they say they are is Vinin.
00:25:54
Speaker
look guys i know you're listening i love you all but i don't trust any of you in any aspect to telling the truth in character like dan trusts you i don't my i as a player don't trust your characters no trust it just i can't i just can't there's so much information i don't know and it's annoying
00:26:15
Speaker
After this episode, it convinced me to maybe give you like three or four more prophecies just to watch the spiral. I thought we would have a few more prophecies anyways before we got this prophecy. I thought we'd be given some more. Probably mostly A, because we would search for them and then he would give us one. I'd be like, OK, like he's a DM. He's going to give us a prophecy. Like if we search for it, he will eventually give us one. Right.
00:26:43
Speaker
That was the logic. And B, I think someone else will get one in a dream. Don't know who. Maybe Tyr. The most likely is Tyr, because he worships a god. But I don't know. It could be possible that happens.
00:27:02
Speaker
But yeah, and then I said whatever happens, when I said whatever happens will lead to a new age, I said the age of pirates. It guides, spoiler alert, it leads into my campaign. Yeah. Because my brain started mowing. But there's, I've got no more theories. That's everything. So all the theories we've talked about, it's everything.
00:27:24
Speaker
I mean, I'm sure by Monday, I will have like one more figured out in my head, but that's everything I've got. And it's bugging me out because I can't, and the fact that you told me the Wednesday group and you know what the star is, is really buggy. Because then as a player, I want to go to where they went, but as a character, it's not going to happen. Because Dan would never, ever follow strange whispers. No offense, Wednesday guy. Dan just wouldn't do that.
Wednesday Group's Divine Intervention
00:27:53
Speaker
They got... I'll kind of tell you how they kind of stumbled into it. One of them was a cleric and was doing their morning prayers, got an incredibly high role in their religion check, so spoke to a god. They woke up one of the gods
00:28:18
Speaker
Now, this god is Othorelli. Oh. Oh. Sorrow and destruction. Yes. The perfect god to wake up. Yes. He said that he found the cleric was praying to him interesting and said he would watch them. So they went for, they moved on about their day, they went for a walk, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:28:45
Speaker
and they met up with a fawn who was just camping inside of the road and he was like, oh you know what, I'll tell you a story, a ghost story, tell them a story about a wraith, a wraith appears, they fight the wraith, which I honestly thought would kill them all.
00:29:06
Speaker
because they followed these strange whisperings, I was like, well, that's a silly move, you shouldn't do that for the race about. So I was like, oh, I'll almost, I don't know, teach them a lesson by having the, I know it sounds really shitty, but teach them a lesson by having the race kill them all. Four, I think, four permadeasts, and one of them finally managed to kill the race.
00:29:31
Speaker
So I was like, you know what, the God resurrects everyone, everyone's back, all spells slots, exhaustion, all gone. And as a reward, the God said he would answer three questions. Well, five questions. And one of them immediately asked, who are you? And he said, well, I'm the God of destruction. So that's now four questions. And they asked something like,
00:29:57
Speaker
They asked some good craft after that, apart from one of them was like, where did we go? And he was like, we should go here. Did they ask? That is Thor was. Yes. Damn it. Damn it. I was I was cagey because it made it more interesting for them not to know the whole story, but they definitely know more than you guys. Oh, man. Fair enough, though. Fair enough.
00:30:27
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, if you... I mean, when you go to kill a CR5 creature, that's perma-killed four of you. Maybe. Maybe a god will help you guys out. Maybe. Damn. Wow. That's... Yeah. But I'm sure when the Wednesday... the Wednesday group come on, when we have them, much... See, here's the thing. They're at advantage now because they know all the theories we've come up with via listening to this podcast.
00:30:57
Speaker
So I've fueled theories. And like, for instance, I don't think they've got, or they've got one prophecy, maybe? Two. Two? Okay. Did someone in their group get the prophecy as well before? No, they got the same prophecy that you guys did in that same place. And they asked the God about the prophecy. Oh, did you give them the prophecy? They corrected them and gave them the correct one.
00:31:26
Speaker
The correct one, yes. The correct one. The correct one. The original one. The first one. So we've got stuff they don't like. Obviously I've talked about the siblings so now they know.
00:31:43
Speaker
Yeah, that's fine by me. They can know the prophecy. It will drive them insane. Like, it's not like they're going to randomly solve it because they know what the star is. In my head, that makes sense. Like, there's too much to unfold and unpack. Then knowing the star will solve the whole prophecy. Because if that was the case, it wouldn't be a confusing prophecy. And I would be stressed out, right? Yes, that all happened on Monday, which is like,
00:32:12
Speaker
a lot to take in yeah i mean we're talking this guy wrote from the beginning of the third age when from his birth um yeah which is early in the third age towards towards the end of it so that's a good
00:32:33
Speaker
thousand two thousand three thousand years along so like pretty accurate yes yes um pretty accurate to see it yeah i mean there's a few books i feel like we've missed and i mentally would want to check but at the same point in time there's nothing of there will be nothing of greater relevance to figuring out the prophecy right um
00:32:56
Speaker
so i i've just like mentally because what we found a book there there will be a book where the first star fell because that happened after he was born um yes but i don't think that's going to have large relevance um which sounds insane but that's like everything's already happened with that star i don't think it's relevant to this prophecy like at all i don't think like it matters
00:33:20
Speaker
I've completely separated from this prophecy. It's like, okay, yeah, a star fell and that was all dealt with like two ages ago. Like, I don't know, 15,000 years ago. I don't need to deal with it. Like it's happened. It's not a part of this prophecy.
00:33:35
Speaker
Yeah, that's true. The only redeeming thing from that book I could find is maybe we would have a hint of what the star is, but that star was a meteorite that brought chaos and destruction in Vendrum, right? So I know what that is anyways, so there's no point in me searching for the book as a player or a character. But I feel like there might be some relevant books.
00:33:59
Speaker
but it's hard to pinpoint an age of when said books would be relevant. Obviously the last book was really relevant but I feel like there might be books which have importance to Chaos Gods and when they came about because they came about in the third age I think after the star fell
00:34:20
Speaker
So they came about, according to the histories, the star fell and they were created from the chaos that erupted from the meteor. They were regular creatures that lived in Venron and were warped by the chaos of the meteor.
00:34:42
Speaker
The important one I want to find is, I've got to remember the name now, yes, Azeroth and the Spira are two books I want to find on them because obviously they've been alive for a long time and something will have been written about them. That may be what I'll search for next session on Monday.
00:35:04
Speaker
and then move into another room. But obviously there's still the rest of it, the whole underground to search, which could lead to interesting discoveries and helpfulness.
00:35:17
Speaker
which would be nice, which would be very nice. More importantly, it'd be nice to find a map of places King Nathaniel was and had left things. I think that's the most important thing I want to search for on Monday, and I think you have a map of that exact nature!
00:35:37
Speaker
I think in my head you've got a map that shows exactly where he's been, which I would like to search for. Maybe, maybe not. But yeah, I have a slight suspicion that we are in his resting place. Like either his last house or his resting place, one of the two, which will hold great information. But we'll find out on Monday.
00:36:03
Speaker
Basically. You will. I was thinking after we finished on Monday, I was like, God, I really have killed one of the most important characters, like thousands of years before, before you guys could even play.
Mystery and Missing School
00:36:17
Speaker
Yeah, it's, yeah.
00:36:22
Speaker
So you do two sessions on a Monday? I do. We had your DM Derek on last week. Yes. What went down? What went down this week? Ah, what went down with my session? Okay, so basically, recently, so we had a little time skip, like a six month time skip.
00:36:41
Speaker
We'd move on to this new city and we'd liberate them. This was after a big plot twist of a one shot we did for some world building, that one of the characters, Bryce the baker, yes, a beholder, a blind beholder that is a baker, yes, runs this city, this mining city, which we were sent to figure out this weird metal that absorbs magic.
00:37:05
Speaker
Ooh, fun. Yeah, that the enemy, the enemy kind of, whatever, the blood moon is that we're going after, that he is farming for some reason that he needs resources for. So we went there, we liberate the city and it's been six months, it's been time skip. You know, we built some things. So my character is a sorcerer.
00:37:29
Speaker
and a sorcerer warlock. His backstory is when he was a child and when he was going to school, one day when he was not in school, the whole building and all the teachers, students, everyone inside, apart from one, his other person, Yinnis, his friend, disappeared, vanished. Whole thing went, just disappeared from the face of the earth. And all that was left on the site was this orb thing, this magical artifact.
00:37:59
Speaker
Uh, which he carries around and has. Um, cause he wants to, I would have pretended to shatter it. Uh, I would not, which, which feels like a very bad idea, but that is what I would be. But yeah, he, so I think he was like 12 years old and it's he's 116 now he's a, he's old. Um, older, uh, not quite like.
00:38:26
Speaker
It would be like, I don't know, late 40s, 50s for a person, something like that. And he spent his whole life working as a professor and a theorist to figure out what this orb is about. Still hasn't figured it out. But he does, so he, at some point in his backstory, he came in contact with a packed lady and made a pact. And he's got two levels in Warlock.
00:38:56
Speaker
And this packed lady is also interested in research about a specific ancient magic which is related to the magic. That A, that Blood Moon is using and trying to mine from these materials and B, sent his whole school and everything disappearing. Like everything. Basically his whole thing is magic research and he only cares about magic.
00:39:19
Speaker
to the point where he won't, like, if there's a quest about magic, he will go do it. Like, regardless if the party says yes or no, he will do it. If there's a quest about a person, he doesn't care, but he'll just go along anyways, right? Like, basically magic takes priority to everything. So what we did in the time skip is everyone got two buildings they could have, right? So he has a school of magic and a research facility that was built.
00:39:47
Speaker
He's the headmaster of the school, obviously, and the chief researcher or whatever of the facility with his friend, Yinnis, who is there and works with him and whatever, because they're both trying to find the same thing. And then what happened was we went to do this little quest of this farmer who said his animals were being killed mysteriously. That turned out to be a former companion of the group.
00:40:17
Speaker
who like a big thing happened to him. We call him Cabbage. That's not his name. He's called Cabbage because he was a carriage driver and one of our companions doesn't call anyone by their name because it's too much effort. They get nicknames. So it's Cabbage. Like Carriage, Cabbage, that's where it came from.
00:40:38
Speaker
In fact, we didn't even know it was going on. I think it took seven months before anyone asked his real name. It was just cabbage, but a bunch of stuff happened to him, magical stuff, and he's not himself. Anyways, he tried to kill the pie. It was a difficult fight. I was left on about 8 HP before I ran away from taking too much damage.
00:41:00
Speaker
To which I sniped him with Eldritch Blast like it didn't do much, but I have the thing where it's 300 feet So I just decided that when he threw away I'd shoot him one more time for putting me online health And that was would have been great who'd killed it would have been amazing, but I don't think if you'd sunk him then as he's running away It would have been so good.
Current Campaign Developments
00:41:19
Speaker
But um, yeah, and then That was two sessions ago. So last session
00:41:25
Speaker
One of our, a few party members are missing. So one's gone to do some work. Another is in mourning over my previous character's loss and disappeared. And then one of them is like the healer who's also in mourning, the one that killed my previous character.
00:41:42
Speaker
um uh but she's like just straight up disappeared um so we went to find her and basically she was cursed for like a second so her character actually has a demon that lives inside her uh a devil oh and it's like if she dies that devil will come into existence and kill things not the friendliest of devils um at all uh so it's kind of important to find her
00:42:09
Speaker
We found her, she was cursed, luckily my character was there, a lot of magic stuff, and it helped. Yeah, and then a shaman dragonborn came from, and this shaman dragonborn has been in the session before, about six months ago.
00:42:30
Speaker
it gave prophecies or predictions to the previous party, to what, to the party of the companions, and then it came back. It just appeared out of nowhere to basically give us some help and then it disappeared and we were talking and we basically saved Shane on and that's what happened last session. But at the moment in the campaign, we don't have an underlying quest because we've done a lot of the quests that have been given and we own a city and we
00:42:58
Speaker
haven't been told anything to do. So the next steps is completely up to us. We could do whatever we wanted. We haven't decided what to do yet. At the moment, we're just taking small little quests, but it's likely we're going to go on a big adventure soon. I'd imagine so. But yeah, that's what happened last session. A little bit less dramatic than our session.
00:43:24
Speaker
But yes. Yeah, a little bit. A smidge. So I'm actually playing on Saturday. I know. It's a turnout, isn't it? It's a surprise. I want you to guess what class, subclass and race time play. Level three.
00:43:59
Speaker
Um... His homebrew class isn't loud. Subclasses. No. Okay. Unfortunately not. For a second I thought you were going to just use my subclass. I was like, you might have. Um... Oh, I hadn't even considered that. That's such a good idea. I was just like, I really should have done that. You might just do that. Um... I would have liked to have done that actually. That would have been so sadistic. I was just like, you might do that. I don't know why, you just might. Um...
00:44:26
Speaker
No, I don't know. That's far too long for me. I would never be that mean.
New Character and Unearthed Arcana
00:44:33
Speaker
Would have been funny though. Yeah, would have to be fair. I'm going to say you're playing a Bard College of Law tiefling is what I've gone for in my head. OK. What if I said it was a Storm Herald barbarian?
00:44:57
Speaker
Would you like to try and guess the race? It's not a grung, is it? I know we talked about this last week, it might have been. That is a grung. Oh god. Oh, there's so many races. There are. It has to be something weird, like in my head it's something weird.
00:45:30
Speaker
What are they called? Plasms? The goo? The space goo? I wish I had thought of that, but it's not. I might actually have to change to something like that. Is it humanoid? It's not. That eliminates a lot of races, but it doesn't exactly. It does. I mean, I'm playing a fairy.
00:45:52
Speaker
Oh, oh, yeah. Fairy barbarian storm herald, which I'm really looking forward to. Yeah, that'll be fun. Oh God. Someone was like, you're basically an insect. You're basically like a bee buzzing around. I was like, yeah, but people are fucking scared of bees, aren't they? Nice, nice. What's the fucking word?
00:46:19
Speaker
When you're good at something, what's the word in D&D? Proficient. Proficient. You can tell I don't play. You can tell I'm a DM. I completely forgot the word. Proficient intimidation, because I can fly into one and fuck them up from the inside. Nice. How small are you? Like, what, two inches? I don't know. I've got a great axe, so I guess we'll find out. Fair enough. Damn. That's cool. I think we talked about something like that last week, didn't we?
00:46:48
Speaker
I think we definitely talked about Storm Herald and Ancestral Guardian, which are the two I like flip between. But the point of it is, the DM I'm playing with wants to test out the new playset, the new UA content. So unless I can for the new Turk. Yeah, fair enough. I want to see the
00:47:11
Speaker
the new barbarian class the oh i i was i i i considered buying the book yeah no it's i was thinking about it as well it's um i mean it's a giant book the thing is that when it released i was like this would have been good had dan not existed and we had started the campaign after this released because i absolutely would have bought that book and used that subclass
00:47:35
Speaker
You could always, after you hit a level 3 fighter, you could always have Dan multiclassing to Barbarian. I could. I was thinking of multiclassing. There would only be a reason for multiclassing, though, is if something happened to Dan. Basically... I mean, if you told me that you wanted to multiclass, I would generate something to happen. See, now that you've said that I might, like, the logic is that I would go, like, Barbarian.
00:48:05
Speaker
Um, okay. I think you should go with it. I think Dan can you imagine a minus one and all the to hit roles the dc would be like 11 Dan goes to a snurry and joins a wizard school And everyone's like the greatest wizard of the age And it's just dan looking at one being like what? stick
00:48:32
Speaker
If that went for Wizard, I would absolutely Homer a class, a subclass, which involved not intelligence magic and it would be like school of dumb luck. It just be something stupid.
00:48:48
Speaker
It's just like you've got a table and you've got a roll to see which spell Dan has accidentally casted and he's like always screaming Fireball no matter what it is. It's so fun, I genuinely... But no, it'd be something like... I don't know. It would be something funny. But like, my logic would be if Dan was to multi-class, because A, if it was a barbarian, something bad would happen.
00:49:17
Speaker
And that's where you get rage from, obviously. He explains rage. I mean, it gives me an excuse to try and kill some people, doesn't it? So Dan can become a barbarian. Yeah, to be fair. I'm sure, I'm sure Finnan wouldn't mind dying, so Dan can become a barbarian. I'm sure Finnan would be fine with dying.
00:49:35
Speaker
But there's also... That's a joke, Rosie, by the way. That's a joke. Don't worry, I'm not going to kill him. There's also... B, I had thought about maybe at some point, Dan, logically, to be a better fire, would ask Astra to teach him how to be a monk. Oh, that's cool. And that would be a thing in which he would take monk subclass, monk class and subclass. The subclass haven't decided what he would take as a monk.
00:50:02
Speaker
it would it would be something it would not be the drunken actually it would be the drunken master because dan drinks a lot there you go i've decided i was drinking a lot and he trades in alcohol um that would be something i thought about uh i've obviously never talked to emma about it um because i didn't think you have now i have now because i didn't i don't i don't know if i i would want to do it yet um there was also thought about um
00:50:32
Speaker
Perce, let's say something happened to his family, demon related, becoming a blood hunter sometimes. Like if you, like taking on somebody. The thing is with that, it's also intelligence based. Like it's constitution and intelligence. Dan has high constitution, very low intelligence. That's the issue. You see, there it is. As we spoke about with my subclasses, the possibility that Dan could become
00:51:02
Speaker
Yes, a sorcerer. Yes. Yes, that is possible. I don't know what his charisma is. I don't think it's too low. I think it's like 12 maybe. No, that's a lie. Oh, I think it I think the prerequisite is 16 to become a sorcerer. But I think there's ways I could tweak that. Yeah. It's possible that Dan could do that. But like, there's a few sub like multi classing ideas I've had.
00:51:28
Speaker
with Dan. But like, I think if I was to multi class, I would also want to homebrew the next subclass. But like, that wouldn't be for a while. Because but unless it was a wizard, or a cleric, it wouldn't be important for a while. Like, I would have you just to think of it. But I thought that yeah, definitely I have has has crossed my mind, the idea of multi classes with Dan.
00:51:57
Speaker
See, I think there are some classes where I'm like, I wish you could be like a fighter twice, if you know what I mean. Yeah, and take like two subclasses. Dan being like a rune knight as well would fit so well. It would. And that was his original subclass. That's the original one. Yeah, I remember you saying you wanted to go rune knight, yeah. Yeah. I just think it would be really cool. There are some ones, I think.
00:52:19
Speaker
But, um, one could be cool because, and I've decided it's, I will, I will release a little spoiler for my subclass.
Homebrew Ideas and Group Dynamics
00:52:27
Speaker
Um, if, if it would be possible, the flurry of blows, right. With his, uh, enlarged fists would be really fun. Um, it's a bit technical because if you, if you home brewed it, intertwined intertwined together.
00:52:49
Speaker
I would fully allow that. Oh, yeah, of course. It would absolutely have to be a homebrew and related to Dan subclass, if that'd be possible. Because otherwise, it'd be a bit mad, be a bit overpowered. It would. Yes. But yeah, if you if you're happy to go in and tweak it and build it, then yes, I can go for it. Yeah, it'd be cool like a path of the
00:53:12
Speaker
that's not what monk class is called that no path is barbarian it'd be called i don't know way yeah oh yeah of the fat face i was thinking of uh way of dan way of dan uh it'd be like way of the um
00:53:32
Speaker
adventurous merchants or something something like that oh that'd be cool what you just like take gold out i'm just a flicking gold it costs he doesn't use key he uses gold everything is gold he plays a gold coin so hard it does like internal damage he um he becomes gold oh my see
00:53:53
Speaker
I've now had a new subclass idea that can relate to the pirate campaign because I said the gods were going to be Greek. The monk subclass, the way of Midas, Midas, and you can punch and use key to infuse things with gold. That would be so fun.
00:54:10
Speaker
That would be so fun. If anyone is listening that is a part of the campaign and wants to do that subclass, message me. We can sort it out because that sounds so cool. That does sound really cool. Yeah. Cool. Well, I would like to go to my favorite part of the podcast.
00:54:32
Speaker
Behold the old horror stories. I love the horror story. I love Reddit. I mean, Reddit is a shithole and it's a scary, scary place, but it's fun to hear stories. It is. So I said this before, but this story I had saved and it came with an update now that I've not read. So that would be fun. The title is Am I the Ourself for not healing a PC because of a roleplay decision? Cool.
00:55:04
Speaker
Wait, what was the title again? Am I the arsehole for not healing a PC because of a role-play decision? Straight off the back. My initial... No, no. I think no. Mine would be... Based on... It really depends.
00:55:23
Speaker
But I'm a dickhead, so based on that, I would say no. My first initial when I read the title was like, I mean, it depends. Like, is it because of a role play decision? Is it only a role play decision or is it because you don't like this person and it's a role play decision? That's why I mean, I would say.
00:55:40
Speaker
I would say both is fine, but sure. It starts with, sorry for the long post, it's not that long, but I'll start by saying that this is a problem player situation and I feel like this is the straw that broke the camel's back. He's playing an edgeworth rogue.
00:55:57
Speaker
must be a new player all right cool that doesn't care about his teammates and if they're put in danger oh uh classic new player and if they're put in danger attacks NPCs that the party likes slash are beneficial to the party etc also i'm completely ready to admit i'm the arse on the situation respectable fair enough fair enough you know what i like them already yeah they're cool fair enough
00:56:25
Speaker
I'm playing a grave cleric worshipper of Ill Matter in a homebrew campaign. For those who don't know, Ill Matter's iconography is red rope sash twine being tied to his hands. So I usually role play doing things with red rope. That's cool. That's a cool thing to include. Really cool, putting flavour in. Love it. Yeah, go for it.
00:56:44
Speaker
Last session, we were all talking about and having a team moment before a big battle, and I said that I wanted to make sure that everyone was OK and asked if I could tie red twine to their wrists and weapons as a blessing so that everyone could be protected by ill matter, which is really cool. Everyone loved it. Yeah, nice call. Yeah. Yeah. Even the zealot barbarian was super happy that could have the help of two gods. It's a cool world, I think.
00:57:10
Speaker
Yeah, that's really cool. I like that. Yeah. But the row laughed at me and said that was a fascist thing to do, I'm guessing, because they blurred some of it out. I'm going to guess that says fascist and that he'd never be caught wearing something like that. It might not say fascist. I have no idea what it's meant to say, but something like that. OK.
00:57:32
Speaker
Anyways, a bit later, we roll initiative for that big battle and everyone is bringing their A-game. In the beginning, the rogue thought I didn't bless him because he was too far away, so he didn't really mind. Sure. But as combat continued, he started asking why I wasn't healing or supporting him, and I kept saying I couldn't do it. I'll play the zoom. The wizard must have realized and said in character, asked why I couldn't. I said I couldn't flow my magic to him because he didn't have the reset on him.
00:58:02
Speaker
The bracelets were to make sure I could reach them with my magic. That's cool. That's a cool roleplay thing. It's a cool decision. Yeah. The other player immediately freaked out because I wasn't healing him because of something so stupid. I was being an arse because the red bracelets were never a thing before so I should be able to heal him and I was doing it on purpose. The rogue PC eventually died.
00:58:26
Speaker
Their turn hadn't come up yet, so I couldn't stabilise him in time. So I took the opportunity to say that I wanted to tie a bracelet on him and use a crystal to revive the fire. He got furious, started asking if I was now happy that he was using his red bracelet now and that I couldn't just let it go and started berating me and having a meltdown over this.
00:58:51
Speaker
He then got up and stormed out of the table and left. That seems like such an over-exaggeration. It does seem like a- A red race with you, but sure. It does. We stopped the session and talked about what happened. Opinions are mixed. Some players said I did the right thing because I stuck to role play. Others said there could have been a situation where I could have just ignored that and helped out. We do all agree that the storming out, plus a lot of other things, are super out of line and we're all sick of the edgy asshole routine.
00:59:19
Speaker
So, am I the arsehole? That's the first part. Before the update. Off that alone. Okay, before the update, before you get into the update. Dude, you've already said you're the asshole. So, irrelevant question. You are a dickhead, but I fucking love it. Yeah, I mean, look, I get sticking to roleplay and it's cool. And to be fair, that rogue, arsehole. Not even going to lie.
00:59:49
Speaker
don't need to know them to know they're an asshole, but you might have should have probably helped out. If it wasn't a thing before and it's now a thing, if it wasn't a thing before, you could have probably helped out logically, right?
01:00:04
Speaker
And I mean, as well, you could have said, you could have maybe said out of character, okay, I want to make this thing because it's a cool flavor thing. If you want my healing in the thing, I want you to wear this band. If you want to add something on that, and you need to, as we said last time, communicate. If they'd have communicated out of character, I want this to become a cool role, like a homebrew role that we have.
01:00:31
Speaker
If everyone cool with it, I would, you know, I'll realize that it will really elevate my roleplay experience. We are now making this a thing. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Rather than just going in character, you need to wear this. Yeah, pretty much. The update. So, okay. The whole start of the update is just thank you all for whatever.
01:00:56
Speaker
They say, I've been a bit MIA because I wanted to use what I read here and my own take on the situation to try and deal with the issue. And boy, was it dealt. Great start. So I went to lunch with the DM, talk about everything. He agreed that the rogue's attitude has been getting out of hand. The DM himself is sick and tired of changing everything just because he doesn't follow the flow of the whole party and that his attitude on the last session was not right.
01:01:23
Speaker
But he's still kind of scared slash sad of talking to the rogue because they're childhood friends. He's gotten used to his attitude and he knows how it's going to go down if we come.
01:01:38
Speaker
Okay. A bit later we all gather to play and the rogue is the last to arrive. Rogue immediately asks if we're supposed to play as a team or if we're supposed to be asked to each other. I ignored that comment and I told him that yes, I'd stepped out of line with what I had done, but it was more to show him that even in-game actions can have consequences and to show him what happens when he's disrupted of roleplay situations. He disagrees because it's a game we're supposed to be able to do whatever we want without thinking about it.
01:02:05
Speaker
He has to be a new player. There's no way he's not a new player. I refuse to believe it. There's no way. Honestly. So I told him that everyone at this point was hurt with him because of decisions he made in game. And we all started giving examples of things he did that people didn't like, including the language he used on the last session.
01:02:31
Speaker
He starts Andrew tating all around, saying we're to blame for that. We're the ones that get offended. We're the ones who don't know how to play. We're just one kid attacking them. Did I mention that we're all in our 30s and he's the youngest one? Wait, wait. They just said we're all in our face and he's the youngest and that he refuses to play with insert colorful language. Oh.
01:02:55
Speaker
definitely said something racist probably um dm is homophobic just something wrong anything yeah something derogatory yes um dm is crying because his friend is hurt rogue is crying because we're all colorful colorful language um rope threatens to get physically violent fighter and barbarian are ready to go uh double oc no idea what that means probably uh oh ooc out of character oh okay okay
01:03:25
Speaker
and go fighter and barbarian on him. Rogue leaves. DM refuses to DM because he warned us this would happen and now his friend isn't there. I tell him I'm not showing up anymore with him, fighter says the same, we all leave. A bit later, DM calls me saying he talked to the rogue and rogue felt attacked because everyone piled up on him.
01:03:43
Speaker
I told DM that with all that he'd been done and all the almost arguments they had been previously, it was only accepted for shit to hit the fan. Rogue says he refuses to play with us anymore. DM says he feels bad playing about his friend there. So to sum up, this group is probably disbanded. Again, thank you for all your answers. I didn't answer them all, but I read them all and tried to make the best vision of it. And this was the closing of that chapter. Yes.
01:04:13
Speaker
Okay, so I'd have killed the rogue. Yes. Yes, I would have done the same thing. Like if they would like to let us solve this in character. Okay, sure. I cast Hold the Dead on the rogue.
01:04:28
Speaker
and then just continue to be able to wipe them out. I'll give you my card to let 24.5 seconds and casting Disintegrate, like, and make something ridiculous, and just going, you're dead now, that's a shame. Bye. Bye-bye. I would have done the same. For those people listening, we aren't like this. No, no, no, of course not. But, like, if I was actually in that situation where a player in my group was making me unhappy, to that degree,
01:04:56
Speaker
I wouldn't have let it get to that point. I would have talked to them before Like logic like Yeah, and also you can walk away. Yes, you can just leave the situation as you'll see you you said you're in your 30s if you're you surely at This point in your life. You should know if someone is making me unhappy This situation is making me unhappy. I can walk away. Yeah, absolutely and like be
01:05:24
Speaker
Um, let's say I let it get to that point. If I sat with a DM and said I did, and the DM told me he didn't want to confront the road because he's their friend, I would have just left the campaign. Oh yeah, absolutely. The DM is a refugio. The minute you hear something about favoritism, you just leave. It's not difficult. Like it's, it's, it's very simple concept. If you know that the situation is not going to be sorted out at all, then you just leave. Like it's, it's just that. But that, that road, definitely an asshole.
01:05:54
Speaker
um oh well without a doubt and then being in there when you said we were all in our 30s i was like fucking hell yeah there's a lot of drama you've drawn in your 30s um wow i'm opinion is uh the asshole for staying in the campaign oh yeah like maybe not the asshole maybe the mug yeah yeah
01:06:16
Speaker
But what I don't understand is the rest of the party didn't like the Rogue either. And you knew that. You could have just all talked to the DM. And then if the DM still refused to talk to him about it, which he probably would, you just leave? It's one person or the party. It's quite simple. I'm not going to lie, it's quite simple.
01:06:44
Speaker
it's it's very poor from the rogue to he has to be a first-time player because the fact that you said it's just a game absolutely means i think so now because that is the the thought of first-time players is this is a game it doesn't matter what i do
01:07:00
Speaker
Yeah, actions don't have consequences until you get slapped with a race. Yes, yes. Until your character dies for the first time, or causes someone else to die, or does die, you're sat there thinking, like, it's fine. He has to be a first-time player. Which is then the DM's hole for not explaining enough to said person.
01:07:26
Speaker
And to all people who are new players, please don't play Edgelord Rogue. It's so generic and boring. It's a first-time player thing. I just hate it so much. I hate Edgelord. Edgelord Rogue Tiefling has to be the most popular class for new players. Yes, yes, absolutely. Because it's like, oh, I want to be a stealth archer like in Skyrim. And then, oh, I want to be the cool devil man with horns. And then, oh, Assassin subclass. Yep, it's going to be that.
01:07:55
Speaker
Be the fun fairy who likes to hit things. Just roll for character. Just roll for everything. Oh yeah, that's always fun to be fair. Yeah, just randomise a character or sit there with the DM of the group and then be like, what do you think would be an interesting character? Which is exactly what I did for my first character. I didn't make an Edgeworth Rogue.
01:08:18
Speaker
I made a dragonborn monk, which is so much better. So it is actually it's it's it's interesting, to be fair, and it's got some it's got some flavor to it. Yeah, I mean, he was a three times dragon. He had the dragonborn breaths. He had way of the ascendant dragon and he had a pet dragon. He was a dragon like he's just a big dragon at this point. It was a dragon we. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty much a dragon who didn't know of any dragons because his family abandoned him.
01:08:48
Speaker
So he wanted to find other dragons. That's the whole thing. It's so much better than playing a Tiefling Rogue. Because... And now he's dead. Yeah. And now he's dead. Yes. Did he ever find a dragon? There was another dragonborn that eventually joined the party, which is cool. So no. No. I mean, his mum nearly killed him in his dreams and his dad was an actual dragon. Oh. But he never met them properly. Because that was all a dream.
01:09:17
Speaker
So no. You should not say this, Garza. What a satisfying end to your first character. Yay! Yes, a very... And on that note...
