Aftermath of Combat and Character Level-Up
00:00:52
Speaker
Okay, so for the audience, because this is ah two weeks later, it was an hour for us. Two weeks later, um for you guys, y'all just went into combat. Big combat. Wow. With two assholes. One named Misha, the other one named Travon. You beat them. You beat them up. It took a while though, because you are not beefy yet. Oh, no. um Basically, the entire episode was a bunch of combat. but like y'all did it and now you're leveled up to level two and uh where you left off is um going back to solace's apartment for sleepies after you know had some heels um so i'm gonna do like a fun little
00:01:37
Speaker
like a few hour time, time warp where you guys spent the night at Solace's studio apartment. So keep in mind, it's one queen size bed, all pink. um There's a very pretty like quilted chaise lounge and like a couch in her apartment, which she like welcomes you guys to sleep on.
Character Introductions and Banter
00:02:03
Speaker
But that's that's what's happening currently right now. Also, I just want to say hi, my name's Elena. I'm going to play. e And you might as well just call yourself alina as Elena. Elena. Oh, shit. Did I say my name is Elena? Shit. Yeah, you did. That's your alien. That's my fake alias. ah Hi, my name's Zoe. And I'm going to play Aina. Aina. There goes that Remy again. Shit. fuck it
00:02:34
Speaker
Just start screaming Ina. Ina! Ina, no! You can't do that, Ina! I think what it is is that I'm playing with Murphy and so every single time I hear Murphy's voice, Remy just crawls out from the depths and it's not even Remy, it's others just the voice that triggers it.
00:03:02
Speaker
Also, if you hear me coughing, it's because I'm still sick. It's still the same from an hour ago. Hell yeah. And Kyle, who has not introduced themselves, is playing Murphy. Yes. And Ally is playing everyone and everything else. I'm here to do everything else. Hi. Now you that you guys are in Solstice apartment, it it was Naffey's time. Everyone like slept for the night. ah It is now morning. What's going on?
Morning in Solas's Apartment
00:03:34
Speaker
Ina does her morning calisthenics in the nude. I asked you if she was sleeping naked and you said, I don't know. Well, she's gung-ho in her routine. I think Solas went to bed before she realized Ina sleeps in the nude. I don't think Solas gives a shit. Let's be so fucking free all right now. And she's just like, you know, like greeting the day, standing there, hair, brazen and out. Just like, ah.
00:04:10
Speaker
What time do you think you're doing this at? Oh, Ina is most definitely, I think I even stated this in her ah character background information. She is a 100% a deep sleeper, but she wakes up at the exact same time every single day, 6.37. Okay. It does not matter how much sleep she gets, she will wake up fully rested at 6.37. Does she have an alarm clock or is it just like a monitor? It is her body telling her it is now 6.37. You must wake up. At seven o'clock you hear a very intense dubstep music just coming from Solace's, her communicator.
00:04:57
Speaker
And it's just like intense, just
Ina's Warrior Upbringing
00:04:59
Speaker
like ah wild club music. And you see her little hand go out and go, ugh. Which you can only assume as as a person yours yourself, Zoe, it was to snooze it. Like she was like, absolutely the fuck not. and Ina sees her, like, curl back up in, like, a little fetal position. This is exactly what Ina is going to do. She then marches over, still in the nude, then throws her blankets off of Solas and goes, Rise and shine, buddy girl! It's time to greet the day! She goes, AHHH! She's like, AHHH! It's so Her eyes are closed. She's not. She's unaware.
00:05:45
Speaker
Come on, we need to at least get a five mile run in and then you can join me in the next five mile run. And then you can join me in for the second round and she's like squatting while she's doing this. Then you Ina, I'm going to kill your father. Well, that's quite impossible. My dad is the god of war. Yeah, I know, but he taught you this. This is awful. No, it's not. I started doing this when I was about two hours old.
00:06:22
Speaker
She opens her eyes, you know, your tits are out. Yeah, that's how we get the most out of the calisthenics. None of that stupid clothing getting in the way. Now she's like, you know what? oh ah you know doing some side stretches. Yeah, I had so many oversized sleep shirts. I know you could have slept in.
Planning and Map Discovery
00:06:44
Speaker
No. We, surprisingly, there are quite a amount of nudists who are in our siddent family. He says that if we cannot embrace our true selves, nor can we defend ourselves within our true selves, then what is the point? So we learn at a very young age ah to fight the list in the nude.
00:07:07
Speaker
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, just like just so I can get this so clear. He says to be your most true and authentic self. However, he is known mythologically to change ages every five minutes. And then she stops for like a second and she goes, yeah, everyone's a part of what nowadays, children, adults, seniors, teenagers.
00:07:33
Speaker
Everyone's experienced war, so he just takes on the forms of people who are currently experiencing war. Uh, okay. Um. What? Are you telling me it's all sunshine and rainbows down here? oh No, no, no. As Murphy walks into the room. it mur Murphy just has like joggers on, right? Like that's be like full naked also, or like what's going on? Yeah,
Financial Discussions and Shopping Plans
00:08:02
Speaker
no. and Okay, no. But yeah, um essentially, Ina, I would assume like, Alcindor, like, like the Greeks and the Romans train them to feel comfortable, even without armor, to defend themselves. So again, like, no, that makes sense. They had to at a young age. That's why she's like, even though she says that they're nudists, they're really not. It's just yeah he taught them if you can't defend yourself without any armor, then you might as well be dead. That's essentially the point. But she's making it sound like, Oh,
00:08:32
Speaker
Look at me, this is all chipper and sunshine and rainbows.
00:08:39
Speaker
You know, I will never say no to seeing a good pair of tits, but however it is, and she looks at her vote, 702 in the morning. So could you maybe put them away? a And then she looks over at, I assume like her outfit is kind of ripped. because she was in a fight yesterday. She goes, well, I guess I could put on the left leathers again. That would be fine. and Murphy is holding three breakfast sandwiches. but You know, it takes two of them to eat. Thanks, Buffalo for ding dong. And then proceeds to take giant bites out of them. um They sigh and they give one to Solas and they're like, I guess I'll go make another one for them.
00:09:27
Speaker
She's like, thank you. Eno's hungry after that level up. What you notice when you bite it though is like the egg is perfect. The bacon is perfectly cooked. I love how you i love decided he's not good that Murphy's not going to be a shitty cook like Oswald was. That's hysterical.
00:09:51
Speaker
Everything is perfectly cooked, the bread is perfectly tough toasted, everything is seasoned well. Perfection. All right, well. i Hold on, does he even care about the taste? Anna's just like. You only see sustenance, okay? She is floor in floor one where she is like, this is delicious, smash this plate on floor, but not actually doing that.
00:10:20
Speaker
Well, I have to work again today. I have to actually like go to the antiquities shop. um So you guys can either come with me or i I guess just like do what you want for the day. It's really up to you guys.
Ina's Misadventures in Town
00:10:40
Speaker
I think I'm going to go do some shopping. I got to pick up some things if I'm going to have to defend myself on a regular basis. OK, you know where I'll be. aha Are you gonna go with Murph or?
00:10:58
Speaker
What did Murph say he was gonna do? Shopping. They just want to get like stuff. And then as she's putting on her leathers and stuff, she's like, so listen to say that there was no
00:11:15
Speaker
What's the word, armorers, black smithies, things like that, where I could go out and get myself a big ass sword? No, we don't have like armories. I mean, we used to like hundreds and hundreds of years ago, but like we've advanced since then. What about a middle work show?
00:11:40
Speaker
We have a pottery barn. fantasy pottery barn, fantasy pottery barn. You know, actually, low key, we went into the the off off topic. We went into a pottery barn when we were waiting for ah a table at a sushi place. It was like a weekend ago or something like that. And it's stupid expensive. It is. Oh, my God. I saw a lamp there for $400. And it was just a bedside table lamp. A shitty bedside table lamp. I don't get it.
00:12:12
Speaker
Who shops there? Hold on. I think I did defense wrong that entire time. I think I add my armor to my defense so it would have been 16 to hit me the entire time. Well, now you know. Well, no, it makes sense because I had regular clothes on. So it makes sense. I didn't have my leathers on. So I was like, oh, shit. um Okay, so you guys are gonna go shopping. I'm gonna go to work. I can't be late again like I was yesterday. I don't know if you guys remember my grandma being very angry at me, but... Yeah, there's a pot of coffee ready to go, so you can just grab that. But if you can stay as long as you want, you can... feel good
00:12:59
Speaker
You can do exactly what you're doing and you can stay as long as you want. And I probably can stay too, but like we need to get you better clothes. And if I could wake up and your tits not be in my face, I mean like kind of upsetting, but like also and like it's weird. um You know, then immediately takes offense and says, well, why don't you just get your tits out of my face or your face out of my tits? There we go. That's better. it's it's it's tired when youre It's hard when you first wake up and you're horizontal and you don't move and your tits are right in eyesight. It's me a little little difficult. Well, it's not my fault that you are not comfortable with yourself. I'm comfortable with myself. I'm not comfortable with you. So then Ina immediately goes, so you're uncomfortable with your sexuality then?
00:13:59
Speaker
She looks at, you know, so fucking for real and goes. I have fucked more people than what you have ever looked at. I probably haven't fucked as much as Murph. I definitely fucked more than you. I have so too done the fucking.
00:14:18
Speaker
I don't believe you. I can prove it. I don't think we're going to prove it. We're scared. yeah I know all about it. We were taught it in our health class when we were seven.
00:14:39
Speaker
A gate. That's all we needed to know. father no get I was about to say something that was going to make it even weirder, and I don't think I should. I was good about to say, Father is the only one who's allowed to do the fucking, the rest of us can. Oh, that's a little too weird. That's too weird. No, it is. Yeah, that would be weird more. We're all doing that. That's too weird. Thank God. I got to stop myself. I was like, hold on, Nina. I was like, I know you're defending yourself, but damn, that's a little too much. I had to medicate for a second. You're like, you know, wait, no, I'm in control. I'm in control. I'm in control.
00:15:25
Speaker
um Solas goes and Changes her outfit into like a cute little pink ah crop top with a heart on it um Puts a beanie back on instead of like the cute skirt you saw her in yesterday when you first met her she has on like um Light jeans they're like I would say skinny jeans about pantling those aren't in any anymore um and jeggings she jeggings. And she looks at you, Murph, takes the cup of coffee and says, thank you so much. Also, um if you guys need anything, there's one thing that you noticed about Solace's um
00:16:12
Speaker
studio apartment. um She lives right up above a cafe and bakery that's called um Prism Cafe and Bakery. And she's just like, if you guys need anything, go downstairs to Isabella in Roxanne. um They can help you out with anything you need. ah Yeah. um Have a great day. If you need me, just come to the antiquity shop. um I think my siblings will be there today. Unsure. um it So it might be crazy if you come and see me, but like, ah have a good day. I have to go open my shop before my grandma hits me.
00:16:58
Speaker
with her spoon. What would you guys like to do today? If you guys are doing- Find a blacksmith. but you Good luck. Find the pottery barn. You'll better luck. Harry Barn does have massive swords, but they're like $3,000. Listen, this is what I'm saying, yo. know If I could find like some, like there, if this is like an artsy fartsy town, there has to be someone who does like metal sculpture work, you know? And I could just use those tools and make myself some armor. I suppose that makes sense. Ta-da! Or at least make myself a sword.
00:17:41
Speaker
Are you guys going to split off? Or Murphy, are you going to be babysitting Eda? Do you really trust Ena alone in this town? Do you really trust her to make her own decisions? Did you say probably going to split off?
00:17:59
Speaker
How are we going chaotic? Okay, this is the second recording we're going chaotic.
War Reenactment Enthusiasm
00:18:04
Speaker
We're watching Ena and Murphy walk out there and Ena's like turned around for a second and is just like, hmm, Murph, where do you think we're gonna go? And then she turns back around and Murph is gone. Yeah, Murph is just, you see just like a little outline of Murph just like of air.
00:18:22
Speaker
Okay, I have 200 fillas. How much does... How much do we get from What's His Face? Oh, Misha. Misha had like 60 fillas on them. Okay, so 30 apiece. Yeah. How much do we have total, like as for each of us? I have 230. I know you, Mr. Moneybags, have a lot more than that. You spent like 26 fillas getting yours and Ina's outfits for the club.
00:18:53
Speaker
So you can do that math where you had like, I think you had like 750 because you took 200. I don't know. Hold on. Because I think. Was Scarlett keeping track of that? Hold on. Let's see. Let's see. Was Scarlett keeping track of that? Let's see. Shared with me. Probably knowing Scarlett. Notes and stuff. Because I feel like I read that. It was definitely in episode two.
00:19:23
Speaker
Oh, did you actually read or no? Of course I read the notes.
00:19:32
Speaker
They're actually very helpful. They are. Oh, come on. Episode three is when I think where do you see them they sold it. If you go to de if you go to the lore page in our discord, I have them pinned. When what episode was it that ah Murphy sold sold Murphy sold it in episode two? Murphy? Well, no, it was the beginning of episode three because I told you how much it was then. I know it was five hundred. He got five hundred forty eight gold. So that's how much that's how much Murphy sold it for. But then took a portion of my money. Yeah.
00:20:21
Speaker
So I don't know how much that was. I'm pretty sure it was 250.
00:20:28
Speaker
You're thinking of the age. Oh, shit. Yeah, because Murphy's old. At the end of the first episode is when we sold it. or towards the end. I was given 300 Phyllis, 200 plus an additional 100 from Murphy Bargaining. I gave Murphy the 100. There it is. So Murphy had 648 minus 25. So that would have been 623. You have 623 Phyllis. So 648, hold on, 648 minus 25. 623.
00:21:11
Speaker
Plus 30, because we each just got 30. So you broke even there. I did. That means I can buy a nice shotgun. The fuck, Murph? Jesus Christ. Buys like a sawed off shotgun and like 500 rounds of ammo. Wait, yeah're wait, wait, hold on. There's the people called the dwellers that they steal goods. I could literally go talk to them and be like, hey, you got some swords? You could. I just beat up your leader. right well I just beat up your leaders. Can I take some shit? You decided to pick a fight that you couldn't win.
00:21:54
Speaker
This is gonna sound so sounds stupid. Ina, who now has no idea how to get around in this town, has no map, has lost her, one friend in the world, doesn't know where they went. Ina then decides to do the tried and true method. She closes her eyes, points her finger out, spins around multiple times, and then wherever she stops, it's the direction she's going to go. All right. So she goes in a northwards direction. I was going to say, I feel like you should roll for that. OK, should I roll a D4? Give me a D4. Yeah. One is north, one is east, three is south, four is west. Yeah, you got it. Kyle, you understood where I was going with the D4? Yep. I have one if you want me to roll. No, I want to roll.
00:22:48
Speaker
jesus fucking right um my so day before Okay, I found one it's a two I Go eat okay, so you're going east go east
00:23:07
Speaker
I go, wheeze. Okay, if you if you're going east from Solas' place, I act like I know where you are. Just make shit up, roll we're not going to know the difference anyway. Yeah. You're going back toward the Silver Serpent. Ina then decides to go in the complete opposite direction.
00:23:33
Speaker
Okay, so now you're headed toward the docks. Uh, now she's going, and then she's like, huh? She's starting to get frustrated. And so then she yells out about, how do you get around in this stupid town? There's a town in that place next to her. And then she goes, and then she punches the thing, and she's like, oh, there's a map. She reads the map. Whoa, a map. Okay, I wanna, you are here sign. You should, I think to be fair, like it would be mitigating me to be like, Hey, look, you somehow, you somehow end up in like the town square. That's like a little bit before the docks. Okay. And that little area has the map. So it like shows you in the town square and it has like a bunch of shops and everything. When I say the town square, I mean like a literal, like it's like the center point of Astrodale.
00:24:32
Speaker
So there's like shops around it. It's like in the form of a circle. It's like there's a bunch of city and then when you're in the town square, it like opens up. There's a fountain in the middle. There's like little like city bushes around and there's like a few shops within the circle and like two or three restaurants. Okay. So she, I guess, like observes what's going on around her. um Is there actually a map there? Yeah, I'll say there's a map there because it's funny. I'll do it for the bit. So she like yells this and then punches the thing and then realizes, oh, there's a map. So then she looks at the map. Is there anything that she can perceive on here that would read anything like Metalworks, Smithy, Crafts, anything like that? There's a Hobby Lobby. Yeah. Fantasy, Hobby Lobby, Fantasy, Hobby Lobby.
00:25:31
Speaker
Wait, no, Hobby Lobby is a shitty company. Fantasy Michaels. I don't think Michaels is any better, but, you know. Fantasy Aceable, I don know Michaels is better. Fantasy Joanne Fabrics. Fantasy Joanne Fabrics. Oh, Johannes Fabrics. yeah Johannes Koh.
00:25:57
Speaker
There's something on there that says like equinox crafts. Equinox crafts. And it's like north from where you're standing. Okay, is there a person nearby? um Yeah, I would say there's like several people nearby because you're in the town square, like there's people that are outside eating, there's like the bookshops, there's, yeah. Okay, so she randomly then does the thing again where she closes her eyes, spins around in a circle with her arm out in points, whoever she lands on is the person she is approaching.
00:26:38
Speaker
She is like, I've never made a decision for myself in my life. This is the best option I have.
Murphy's Firearm Exploration
00:26:50
Speaker
So she walks up to the person who goes, you, mortal being, I have a question.
00:26:58
Speaker
It's a little dwarf. It's a little dwarf. Okay. She then walks up to them, fully like. essentially like not trying to be rude or anything. She's like, hello there, fellow other mortal person. Yes, I am the same as you. I have a quick question. Do you know where the, and then she reads because she clearly wrote it on her hand and it's all sweaty and gross and she goes, the equinox craft store is. Yes, equinox craft store is right there.
00:27:36
Speaker
here um amazing
00:27:41
Speaker
nominal accent And then in order and then she goes ah Like they point exactly where it is Yeah, cuz it's like right outside where the like town center is it's like it's within the town center and then it's like is this person like Male female they then It's perceived as male, thick, bushy, dwarven beard, standing on a very proud 4'8". Okay, so then, you know, it's not going to try because she also knows that there is a possibility in this universe that female dwarves have beards. and So she's not going to risk it. So she says, thank you again, my fellow dwarven compatriot, and then shoves a pretzel into their hand and marches towards the craft store.
00:28:31
Speaker
amazing they look at the pretzel, that was weird. And then she yells back, itself, Jesus, too!
00:28:45
Speaker
She's acting like she just did this person the greatest of services. She is feeling good about this journey. How he decides.
00:29:04
Speaker
Kyle, look at your screen. Oh no, I saw. I think I'm gonna love Ina. Yeah, I don't think I will. Ina stresses me out, right? Why, Ina's such a sweet, innocent child. That's why she's stressing me out. Why, is this person a pickpocket?
00:29:27
Speaker
No, it's because she just, I don't know what she's going to do at any time. She has never made a decision for herself in her life. She has never been technically alone. I understand that. It's just like her going my fellow dwarven person when she is not dwarven at all. She has the heart of a dwarf.
00:29:54
Speaker
Her dwarven blood look, she doesn't know if her mom's a dwarf, maybe her mom's a dwarf. Are you my mother? Are you my mother?
00:30:05
Speaker
You get to Equinox crafts, and it has that blatant smell of craft store, which is like, you know, the wax, the acrylic paint, like, everything. It's just smell. It's just smell it smell though. I know. It has a bunch of fake flowers, a bunch of beads, a bunch of like acrylic paint, canvases. Okay. So she walks up to the counter after taking this all in, walks up to the counter to where the nearest sales clerk is. I feel so bad for this person. Describe them to me. I'm waiting.
00:30:46
Speaker
The person you walk up to is very obviously in ah their teens.
00:30:54
Speaker
it's They do have more elven features to them. um and you can And on on ah his tag, it definitely has like he-him pronouns. It says Vincent on the tag. um He kind of has like, black emo hair just sort of like over one eye and he's wearing like one of those purple vests like they do at Michael's but it's not red it's like purple and it says equinox on it and like gold stitching.
00:31:27
Speaker
um And he looks over and he goes, oh, welcome to Equinox Crafts. How can I help you? Ina then bends down like, how tall is Vincent? How tall is my good man Vincent? Vincent is probably like 5'11", very thin elf build. Okay, so doesn't have to bend down too far, exactly the same exact height as her. So yeah she then like puts on like her best smile, but it looks really awkward and really forced in kind of a way. And she slams her hands down on the table and goes,
00:32:12
Speaker
Good morning Vincent, my fellow compatriot elf! I am looking for your finest quality steel, obsidian, or possibly iron. I'm trying to make myself a sword, and if you try to sell me anything different, it will not be good enough.
00:32:33
Speaker
ah I mean, we have like metal and like the jewelry section, but like also obsidian is like super rare. You can't come around that like easily here. But what are you telling me you don't have any dragons off hand? We have drakes, but those are like. Mortals and like people, so can't really. All right, Vincent, show me to what you call this jewelry.
00:33:05
Speaker
ah It's like the necklace you have around your neck, the little flower. Yes, but I don't know when it is in this stole. Can you please show me where it is Vincent? Yeah, sorry. I couldn't tell if you were asking me what jewelry was. No. This guy sounds like he doesn't want to be there. Yeah, this guy definitely doesn't sound like he's going to be there. Guess what? He's going to get a nice big old fat tip of a beautiful self cheese and pretzel. you
00:33:37
Speaker
They're probably like really stale by now. They're probably hard or something. ah She doesn't care. She's got like 50 pretzels she needs to offload. He takes Ina over to like the glass bead and like jewelry section. He goes, and here are metal chains and like here are like a bunch of like metal clasps and stuff that people use to like make bracelets and earrings and shit. How much do you reckon if I buy or melt them down? How much do you think I would need to make a sword?
00:34:15
Speaker
I mean, probably a lot more than what's here. Let's see if Vincent. See if Vincent's smart enough. No, let's see if Vincent knows a guy. um
00:34:31
Speaker
Okay. So Vincent looks at you and goes, um, to be so for you, um, if you are looking to like actually like make like war reenactment weapons, but like in like a nice quality, there is actually like, The Vistari's war reenactments are actually like starting in like an hour. And I know they have like a forge up there, but it's like a hundred dollar entry fee to like get in. Can you spell Vistari for me? V-I-S-T-A-R-I. Okay.
00:35:14
Speaker
And I go, wait, there's wool reenactments? I mean, yeah, I mean, just do we there's there is wars all up and down, isn't all. Ina immediately gets this glaze in her eyes again. Are you okay? Okay, can I do a military lore roll? Yeah, see if I know what kind of what he's specifically talking about, the best story war. OK, so that would be just a simple plus two because I got nothing in intelligence. OK, a six, a three, a one plus two, that would be a 12 total.
00:36:03
Speaker
So you would have lightly heard about the war. um It kind of happened right as you were birthed into existence. um So it was touched on a little bit in like some of your education. Really, it had to do with like land and who got what within Znall, because it's
Ina's Earnings and Banking Confusion
00:36:26
Speaker
always about land. A lot of the rulers ah definitely thought about like who got what and where. Astordale being one of the biggest spots for it because it is the port town, so all the trades and goods would have gone through Astordale for a said war. So it was basically just like a land war.
00:36:55
Speaker
So then Ina then asks, ah so what kind of materials do they make these reenactment? And she like does air quotes reenactment swords with. um I mean, they have like fake swords and everything but they also have like the real stuff if you just like want it for decoration in your house because like some people just like like swords. I want the real thing and she like grabs Vincent's soul assault soldiers shoulders and goes, I'm looking for the real deal here Vincent. Hey man, I understand you're excited but can you like not touch me?
00:37:37
Speaker
She then lifts her hands off and she's like, I'm sorry, I'm a good man. And then like brushes him off. they Thank you. ah Just like boundary thing. um Like, I don't know you like that. And ah you don't know me like that. So ah thank you. But um so do you need any more help? Like do you want any of the jewelry stuff or? who She then looks at a sign that probably says, bedazzle to your heart's content or something like that. Or something like that, yeah. And she says, no, I'm not interested in this. And then she squints, bedazzling, but I will not forget to face Vincent and you have helped me a great deal. So here's your tip. She then pulls out a another pretzel, shoves it into his hands and marches out towards, I assume he told her the direction of where the war thing.
00:38:32
Speaker
They're happening at the Sidus Park, which is probably a few blocks away. Okay, so she starts marching in the direction of the Sidus Park.
00:38:49
Speaker
Okay, and we will go to Murphy. What are you up to? Um, I feel like Murphy's just going to like walk around and look for any kind of shot that would sell like self defense things.
00:39:06
Speaker
So like is exploring the city at the same time. Yeah. um Now, was Murphy well aware that he just left Ina to her own devices? Okay. I think it would be you're so fucking funny if he's like, if they're like sit like sitting at the cafe that was right in the square and then he just hears Ina like screaming at this dwarf. And he goes the other direction. They like flip up like a newspaper and just hiding themselves.
00:39:38
Speaker
ah Like, that's not my business. In the town square, just completely ignoring everything that's happening. Just all they hear is, hello fellow mortal. And that's enough for them to be like, yep, nope, not dealing with that. Yeah, they get up and walk away.
00:40:01
Speaker
My fellow country.
Reflecting on the Day's Events
00:40:05
Speaker
And the like the big reason they're looking for self defense type things, whether it's like a ranged weapon or like a melee weapon is um during that first fight, they felt really useless. two um
00:40:22
Speaker
There is a um sort of shooting range that's like a little bit outside of the main city of Astrodale. It's more in like a rural area because they don't feel like having a shooting range in the middle of the city is probably the best. course of action. So you will have to use the train slash subway system to end up over there. But you are in the, you are in the right spot in town square if that is where you're at, because that's sort of where the um train station was the first time where you and, you know, went to the university for Pippin. Right.
00:41:05
Speaker
Yeah, so Murphy's going to remember that and be like, yeah, I see this town is outside of the city. I'm going to take the train.
00:41:14
Speaker
OK, so outside of the city of Arona is the town of Stolus. And yes, I did that just for you. You're welcome. um So you entered the town of Stolis, which is more ah rural looking than the entire city of Arona. The city of Arona, the best way I can explain it is Salem and Boston, Massachusetts sort of had a baby. Going to like the rural area of Stolis is more of like, if you ah went from if you went from really nice Massachusetts to Ohio,
00:41:57
Speaker
It's like a very stark difference of how the land is laid out. um so So going from beautiful trees and mountains to flatlands. So what you notice that a lot about Zinal is like, there's like a lot of different like diversity within the towns. Now this is, since this is like still urban fantasy, still it's still kind of like a city, but it's more like Main Street, Maryland, Laurel, Maryland. If anyone wants to look up Laurel, Maryland, Main Street, that's sort of more of the vibe it's giving off. It's more like old towny. It's more like,
00:42:39
Speaker
Everybody's friends with everybody neighborly sort of vibes. um It's like the town that you wouldn't want to be in if you were gay. Hmm. But yeah, that's that's sort of the vibes you're getting from the town of Stolus. So the range would be like.
00:43:01
Speaker
um Four blocks away from the actual train station itself. Got it. Now they do have little scooters called Phoenix's that you can rent and drive around.
00:43:21
Speaker
i think I think Murphy's just going to walk because they want to they want to explore. They want to learn more about this about this world. Especially if there's any like cute little cafes. Yeah, there's like two or three that you pass on your way. there's also um Little like mine your own crystals shops. There's boutiques for clothes. There's ah Just like little things that you would find in like a main street. There's like a weird little ah Magic and nerd shop that's like across the street that looks like it's almost abandoned But there's like also like four people in it Today do they sell a game called caves and wyverns and Yeah, actually. It's a huge game. Yeah. Super popular. You should play their game Modern Age.
00:44:24
Speaker
Yeah, they're playing Modern Age, actually. They're playing Modern Age, Caverns and Wyverns. Wyvern Age. They also have blue rose, but we're not going all the way there. um Normals and averages. Normals and averages. And also just shoot a ladder shoots and ladders. and ladders. Murphy's going to stop somebody on the street and be like, hey, quick question for you. I'm new around here. Which of these cafes would you recommend? like Which one do you think is the best?
00:44:56
Speaker
so um You stopped like this very very cute so she actually almost reminds you of Solas like she has like very similar mannerisms not like white blonde hair but kind of has like a pinky rose gold to it. um right and she like pulls back her ear and you see like the cute little like you pulls back her hair, you see the cute little pointed elf ear, and she just goes, oh, Divination Cafe has like the best espresso and they tend to not burn their beans. um I would stay away from ah the Magick Cafe because it's really overrated, but I hope that helps.
00:45:45
Speaker
Got it. Yeah, thank you. I'm just new around here trying to find my way. No problem. Have a great day. Yeah, you do. And then I go to that cafe and I order I order a coffee and a pastry and then I sit down for a little while just to kind of like take in the area. Okay, minus seven fillas from your count for that treat. Okay, I completely forgot what I had before. It was like 630 or something like that. we did six No, 653 or something like that. I'm not keeping track of your shit anymore, Kyle. Kyle, come on. We spent five minutes doing filler math only for you to immediately forget it. yeah Okay, well, in my character sheet, let's see.
00:46:33
Speaker
Character nodes, fillas, 653, but now I subtract seven from that, so 646. I'm not making you keep track of weight, but I am making you keep track of your fucking funds. That's fine.
00:46:49
Speaker
ah Yeah, so I have 646 left. So I sit down at like and one of the out but outside tables and I just kind of like people watch for, we'll say like an an hour or two, yeah just to kind of like figure out how people work in the mortal world. um Yeah, it seems like everybody's super fucking casual um It seems like there's like different people like everywhere though so like there's some people that you can tell are like more snooty than others and then you can see like oh there must be like a college nearby because you see like some like some kids best way to explain it like teenagers that like walk into cafes like Starbucks and like wearing like PJs and everything um
00:47:35
Speaker
There's people that are actively working in this cafe like with their laptops open and ah just like listening to music and stuff. You will notice like the music here is very blatantly different. Not from like what Solace was listening to but like just in general from what you're used to. It's more like ah Beat it's like has less to do if like loots and shit like that. It's very um Sort of like Electronical which again guys guys aren't like that used to um the only place that you would like actively hear this stuff would be in the realm of risk and possibility but It's not yeah, ah but you've made it clear. It's not common for you to like go to clubs or stuff like that. So I Pretty much, yeah. Like this is this is Murphy's main haunt, like just going to a cafe and people watching. Yeah, it's this the music is very... um It's giving fantasy Sabrina Carpenter, so... What a bop. Would you believe I've never heard a single Sabrina Carpenter song? If you're watching TikTok, you definitely have.
00:48:56
Speaker
Yeah, so that's that's sort of what you notice about people. um
00:49:04
Speaker
Really, if you kept low-key, you would probably fit in pretty well. Your worry is probably Ina. um
00:49:13
Speaker
I will be honest with you, Murphy, not this not a single time has thought about how Ina's doing. yeah They that she has to learn, and the only way she's going to do that is if she's forced into it. Are you tough parenting Ina right now? Are you like, yeah I'm just going to let her cry to sleep?
00:49:38
Speaker
I'm here for it, baby. And now we are going back to Ina, while Murph is having a good time at a cafe, just enjoying themselves. Okay, so we're back to Ina, who I'm going to say within that time that we did everything with Murph, made her way to, I believe it was Sidious? Yes, Sidious Park. Yeah. Or Sidious Park. Sidious Park. Sidious or Sidious? Or Sidious Park. Okay. yeah Have you heard the tale of Darth Plagueis the Wise?
00:50:14
Speaker
so I'm just thinking about Darth Sidious because, you know, it's fucking... made them Weirdly enough, it's named after my name's Sidious. It's the ah Latin word for star. It's the male equivalent instead of Stella. No. Sidious? Really? Yeah, I looked it up. Dark Star. Man, what a name for a Star Wars villain. Yeah, no kidding.
00:50:40
Speaker
OK, so yeah, that's why I named it that. So um you enter the park and you see like a little like event tent that says the Starry War reenactment enter here and within the actual thing ah looks like the best way I can explain it. like to you not in character is it looks like um ren fair it looks straight up like ren fair it it's it's like open it has like the fake wood embellishments everywhere there's like little signs you can see people like eating like giant turkey legs and shit and there's sight is there like one of those
00:51:28
Speaker
So like one of those, i feel like like at the Maryland Ren Fair, those um baked potato that like, there's more cheese and sour cream than potato. You mean the ones that you and I shit ourselves with? Yeah, we absolutely shit ourselves after. Yeah. So anyways, yeah, it's it's very much giving Ren Fair. I wouldn't say it's as big as the Ren Fair. I would say it's just like giving, it's like a mini Ren Fair sort of situation.
00:51:56
Speaker
Sweet, excellent. So Ina then marches into said tent once again, slamming her hands down onto the table and then proceeds to yell, allow fellow mortals in your war efforts. I salute you. I'm here in search of your finest swords. So instead of getting the like weird looks that you are so used to fucking getting, Ina, the six male mortals that are around just scream. um
00:52:28
Speaker
yeah extremely like um
00:52:34
Speaker
Just remove any plot from the game at all. Dina is going to fucking, oh, she's going to win this festival. I don't care what people say. She's gonna change the course of history and win this war, motherfuckers. You know what this episode is giving? Tales from Ba Sing Se.
00:53:04
Speaker
So this really went out to go to work. Which one of us are we? Which one of us are we? Murphy is definitely Iroh. I was about to say you're definitely Iroh or you're definitely Momo because Momo's just always observing. I feel like, and this is a long stretch, I feel like Ina is the Katara and the Toph of it all. I think Ina's more Toph. Yeah. I mean, obviously more Toph, but like the story of Katara and Toph. Yeah, that's fair. Either that or she's just going to somehow become an Aang and be like, we free everybody!
00:53:41
Speaker
yeah yeah so Or Zuko. Yeah. So there's one that comes up in like full metal armor, Ina, and he goes, Huzzah, fair maiden! We're happy for you to be here! Um, so it is a hundred-filla entrance fee, though, so before you can even, like, step it, we need you to do the entrance fee. We're so sorry.
00:54:08
Speaker
Ina then immediately goes into like, okay, how do I not spend this money? Because money seems important in this world, and this is almost all of my money. So then she goes, how about instead you get something that the winning side won't have? An actual child of Alcinda.
00:54:33
Speaker
And she's like, you know, she's like, no one's around. I can only tell the truth.
00:54:40
Speaker
Listen, she's been taught to tell the truth. Everybody, everybody's looking at her weird now. Everyone's just like, excuse me. And then she starts like looking at their, ah what is exactly their armor and stuff made out of? It looks like metal like first glance, but the longer you look at it, the more you realize it's like foam that's brushed to look like metal. I then immediately just her eyes go wide and she goes, you expect to win a war in that? Well, OK, we're going to break our pee real fast, just like breaking it to so fast, right?
00:55:25
Speaker
um
00:55:28
Speaker
You realize this isn't like a real war, right? Even if it wasn't a real war, you need to dress the part. Hasn't anyone taught you anything better? I mean, we're just here to like have a good time and reminisce about like how this is all used to be. um Are you okay? I would like a chance. Okay. To do a communication role okay to somehow inspire them into wanting to go the full yard with the reenactments.
00:56:13
Speaker
like not just wearing like the foam. You know, like actually wear armor. but Like obviously like she's doing this in a way that like, she's not trying to be manipulative, but it's just like, how are you going to learn about war if you don't actually attempt to wear the stuff? Like that's the kind of thing she's going for. But before I say any of this, I need to see how well I roll to see how well this is actually going to sound. So it's a communication role, I have a plus one. Ooh, that actually was a really good role. I got a six, I got a four, and I got five. So that's a 10 of five plus one, that's a 16 total. It's actually a pretty decent role. Okay, let me.
00:57:02
Speaker
Actually, speak first. Tell me what you're saying first and then I will go. Okay, okay. So let me think, let me think for a second.
00:57:11
Speaker
Okay, so she's going to look at this man in the like in the face and she goes, do I have permission to put my hand upon your shoulder, soldier? I mean, I guess. Thanks for asking. I learned something about a thing called personal space boundaries from my good friend Vincent today. Uh, yeah, I guess. Thank you. She then clamps a hand onto his shoulder and it's just like, listen. Are you pulling him in? I just need to know. Are you pulling him in? I'm not pulling him in. It's just like, okay. Like, you know, like, oh, okay. Okay. Did she catch his name at all during this whole thing? Like, does he have a name tag? No. She's like, listen, I don't know what your name is. So I'm just going to call you friend. Is that okay? Yeah, I guess.
00:57:58
Speaker
Okay, so friend, I'm going to tell you a little thing. If you want to learn about war and what it was like about Astidale and Arona back in the olden times. Wouldn't it make more sense to be able to actually wear the armor that people use during the fights? Obviously, if you are uncomfortable with wearing it, then you need to practice wearing it. How else are you supposed to be able to wear armor without actually practicing? How else are you expected to list a sword without actually practicing? Do you get what I mean, friend?
00:58:39
Speaker
He looks up at you, Ena, and he like leans in a little bit, and he goes, okay, so that I think it'd be fucking awesome to like have like real armor. That shit's 3,000 fillas just to get, so a little bit like out of my price point, you get me? So then I lean in real close and I go, my good friend Vincent has it under good authority that you have some actual swords, some actual armor, plus, and then she gets in real close and she goes, I am a totally fucking badass blacksmith. How close are you to his face right now? I'm like, you know, like, like this.
00:59:34
Speaker
south as man We got a kiss.
00:59:42
Speaker
As much as I would like to figure out what a kiss is, this is not the time, friend, whatever your name is. It's Marco. Marco? What a strong name, but no, Marco, I'm not interested in kissing you. I'm only interested in supplying you with a great amount of weapons and armor. Let me see something real fast. Can you, okay, with you saying weapons and armor, can you give me a another
01:00:19
Speaker
Communications. Do you have anything big in communication or no? it Nothing. It's just the plus one. Okay, that's fine. yeah
01:00:31
Speaker
I mean, she's not trying to convince him to like actually kill each other with it. Oh, no, I know. like There's something else that I'm trying to get him to see. Okay. okay I rolled, and you're not gonna believe this, all fives. So a 15 plus a one, that is 16. It was a five, a five, a five. I was like, ew. Okay, so he goes. Rolling hot. So, you can blacksmith is what I'm getting at. And then, while she's wearing her leather,
01:01:16
Speaker
Would she have made her leather too? I would say Alzheimer's children made all of their stuff. you have to if you make it you you If you want to have it, you have to make it. OK, so she goes, I am. And then she leans she leans somewhat back in, but then remembers that he tried to kiss her earlier. And she is like, I don't know what a kiss is, so I don't know what that means. And so she like backs up a little. like She's like, uh, uh, uh, uh. And she's like, I am the best fucking blacksmith you'll ever find on this planet. Well, ah our blacksmith vendor actually like had to call out on us. um
01:02:00
Speaker
Do you think you could like fill in and like do people's orders, I guess? Give me two hours.
01:02:12
Speaker
ah ah Okay, and he like says come on and he like undoes the chain and he's like beckoning her in. She is now striding forth a woman with a job.
01:02:30
Speaker
um He brings you. She feels utterly at home. He brings you over to like this giant forge area. It's not as big as the ones that you're used to back home, but it is like it's a very obvious like recreation of a forge, but there is like an actual fire in it. There's like metal around. There's blacksmithing tools. You do notice that the metal isn't the best quality, but it is there.
01:03:02
Speaker
Like an iron instead of a steel. Yeah. OK, she can work with this. So then she then turns to Marco and then says, I can work with this. What's the first thing up? ah So all the orders are like right here and he like takes down a clipboard and there's like 10 orders on it. One is just like a 14 inch like dagger or like an 25 inch great sword or like something like that. And he goes, um, there really isn't like actual designs to like, follow, I guess the guy had his own style. But since he's not here, and all these people like put in orders only for them to not get them seems kind of like, rude. So okay, so she then puts on
01:04:01
Speaker
the blacksmithing apron. She then puts on the special gloves, like the whole nine yards. And then even though there's not, I would love if she had like, and her hair is like obviously like up in like an extremely like circular bun. I would love it if she had like a welding mask and she's like- Oh yeah, no, there's a welding mask in there. She is like so hyped and she's like, all right, Mako, let the women work. And then like, flops it down and then like immediately like goes to town. He ah slowly walks out and leaves and just allows you to your own volition. All right. so Which now we are going back to Murphy. I was about to say, how many crafting rules should I do? Well, Murphy is doing his their business. Well, OK, I will try to keep track. I'm going to write it down.
01:05:02
Speaker
um I think after Murph is done with like the coffee and the pastry, they're gonna walk over to that shooting range. So when you walk in, it's like super Western themed. um There's like hay on the floor. There's like little targets everywhere. um You can see like a giant glass case that has like a bunch of like firearms in it. um And also next to them, weirdly enough, you would think would be like bullets because like you're used to like a little bit more manual.
01:05:34
Speaker
There's actually um a lot of crystals that are next to a lot of the guns rather than bullets. So instead of instead of bullets, it uses like magical energy or something. Oh, yeah. If we're going to do guns, we're going to make it sparkle. That's fine. um Yeah, so they're just going to walk up to the guy behind the counter is like, hey, um, I'm looking for something that's good for like distance, but also can work not up close, but someone up close. What do you got for that? um I mean, we have this CR-47. He takes it out. it's this um
01:06:26
Speaker
Gun metal blue, like dark blue gun that kind of has like a gloss shimmer to it. um That's main component in its area because like where the crystals are, it's like a little glass like area that the crystals glow in and then like go in and then glow out with like the magic. So this is CR 47. This is good for close and ah far proximity. um He shows you what looks to be like a smaller handgun, essentially. It's a little bit more compact, so like it's easy to like travel with. a And we have ah this, which is the SM65, which is a little bit like bigger. It has a like longer barrel to it. um
01:07:21
Speaker
and This is a sort of like duo chromie looking sort of guy has a ah like clear quartz within it that's glowing. And he goes, ah this one is a little bit better for long range. ah You can obviously still do it pretty close, but it really depends on what exactly you're using for. Yeah, no, that makes sense. um What about that first one you mentioned? Can I give that a try? ah Yeah, sure and um you see like a driver's license from me or something um He looks at you up and down and goes q l man you used to just like um The guy by the he's human, but um he's just like you you elves man. I can never tell you could be 16 or 450 and I I personally would never I would never know I have
01:08:19
Speaker
do i have any kind of anything on me to no i don't know you have no identification you're just a guy lovely just just just a little dude um oh you seem you seem confident and you're not like sweating like some teenagers do so i'm gonna say you're probably okay um If you do end up, yeah if you do end up purchasing, I will need like name, address, phone number for in case like any like weird stuff happens, but. Gotcha. That's fair. It helps. I'm 250. So.
01:08:55
Speaker
so Okay, well, all right. um Yeah, so ah let me just like make sure this crystals actually charged for you before I just let you go off with it and you see that he like takes it puts in like a little dome and you see the dome like fully it almost is like when you a microwave is about to blow up just goes And he takes it out and goes, there you go, fully charged. And he sticks it back into the little crystal compartment of the gun. And he gives it to you and goes, shooting range is just two doors down. There should be an open area on the third saw. Gotcha. Cool. I'm going to go give this a try and let you know. All right. Have a good one.
01:09:45
Speaker
So then, yeah, I'll take it. ah What what does it like look like? Does it look like just a regular hunting rifle or? No, it's a ah almost like a little it's like ah it's like a handgun. It's like small. It's like a little compact handgun almost. um It's like it's not like fully turned on yet. um But it is like a small handgun. It has like that gun metal like it's dark blue gun metal as the purple crystal and everything. But it's it's like like maybe 10 inches as of right now. OK, so yeah, Murph is going to go and like test that. I don't know if you want to roleplay that or just say I do it.
01:10:30
Speaker
That depends on you if you want to do that, but I will say when you go to pull the trigger suddenly it's like the crystal knows what's about to happen and it's almost like an entire other like, I guess like ghostly barrel is sort of like exposed, it like sort of extends itself. um It kind of has like that purple aura around it that like matches the crystal. so yeah ah And the bottom of it suddenly becomes like a little bit heavier, but so you have to hold it like it would be like a standard yeah shot. You know what I think would be fun? I think it'd be fun if like yeah there's there's targets to shoot, right? yeah
01:11:20
Speaker
I think it'd be fun if like I did roll like a couple rolls to see how well Murphy is good with that. Yeah, totally. What do you think that would be like dexterity? It would be a Dex. Yeah, it's a Dex. Yeah. I would say until Allie figures out the stats for a gun in this. Unless there's like stats for a blunderbuss in fantasy age. Yeah, there is. Okay. There is, but like that's that's for shotgun specifically.
01:11:51
Speaker
Um, let me see if there's anything for like, you can probably use that. I have a direct line to the fantasy age creators. I'm just going to poke them and be like, can y'all make something for like a crystal gun? And they'd be like, what? And I'd be like, don't ask me questions. Um, basic pistol, basic pistol. Well, I feel like you could use, um, crossbow stats or like some, some type of modified crossbow stat. So I'll like line up the shot. I put the, I put the, the ear. that the headphones on. It's an accuracy. I like kind of push my hair back so it's not like, you know, in the way. It's an accuracy Kyle, not dexterity. Yeah, it's an accuracy. i Okay. Do I have accuracy? Yeah, it's the top one. You should have, you should be good in accuracy since you're a rogue. I get a plus one. I put everything into dexterity. Well, damn. Yeah.
01:12:50
Speaker
yeah I mean, that's not bad. That's an 11. Okay. That's not bad for your first shot. Yeah, exactly. It's not in the center. boy It's not in the center. um It is like a little bit, like a little bit too far to the left, but no, you, you at least got it on the target. Yeah. I kind of look at the guy next. Is there like people in the stalls around? Oh yeah. Yeah, I kind of like tap the guy next to me or the person next to me on the shoulder and I'm like, Hey, excuse me, you got any tips for this? I never really fired a gun before. um He looks at you, he just like takes off his headphones and goes,
01:13:33
Speaker
oh yeah sure um come here let me show you first you need to you're you're like all ten steps wait does does does he do like does he do like the hot guy thing where he like kind of wraps his arms around yeah that's what's about to happen yeah you know
01:13:54
Speaker
first he like actually massages your neck he's like first you're like all too stressed you need to like I am 5'8 just just for the record I'm 5'8 so I don't know if you're gonna make him like he sticks one okay cool ah He's just like massaging your shoulders. li He's like you need to like relax a little bit. You're like all tensed up Honestly, you got in the target. That's pretty good. um Especially for you. It's been a while like it's been a while today Yeah, so you're just gonna like relax yourself breathe um
01:14:30
Speaker
look you need to point the gun directly where you want to go you can't just like be like a little bit off because there is no course correction so it's just like breathe and then immediate accuracy to it and he goes kind of like hold your gun like this and he like wraps his arms around you and like does the like hold on before I know I know that like it's it's not fun coming up with a character on the on the spot But what does this guy look like is he like rugged or like what where is he? and he's Sex one he has like
01:15:04
Speaker
red hair that's in a little bit more of a mullet. um He also is he's like giving half elf like he he can tell that he's not full elf. It's like elf in something else. It's kind of like how soulless is, um but like not wild folk. It's like elf something else. um He has a little dotting of freckles on his face. um He's a little bit muscular. He's not he's more like swimmer body muscular. You know what that is. He's trommed. Yeah, you had that in high school that not anymore. um Yeah, so he's like toned. um The outfit he's sort of wearing is like low riding ripped up like Levi jeans um has like.
01:15:55
Speaker
he He has like a tank top on, but like has like the plaid shirt over it, giving like total country vibes. And he has a septum piercing, but he's just like wrapped around you. Murphy's like going to try to clear their head and be like, nope, got to focus on the gun. Can't focus on the man.
01:16:18
Speaker
So let's see, I'll do another accuracy shot. Murphy's going to like let out a breath. Kind of like focus. yeah That's a 14 that time. Ooh, Hawkeye helped. And you point, you bitch. I have four total.
01:16:42
Speaker
um So. This one, again, isn't directly in the center, but it's definitely a lot closer than your first one was. um It's like a little bit off. um But he goes, yeah, see that? That was like so much better. You're like a natural at this. You're like half your shoulder. I've been around for a while, so I pick up things pretty easy. I'm Murphy, by the way. He looks at you and goes, I'm trying to think of a good name for this guy. Fuck are you. Fuck you, Kyle. Lachlan. No.
01:17:15
Speaker
the worst name. ah Less than you were asking for name suggestions. a ah Leslie just knocked on my head. He's like, Garak. My name's Garak. Garak. Good to meet you, Garak. Yeah. you, Yeah. Good luck with your shooting. Thanks. ah You gonna be around here, i like, longer? I might. I gotta stick around. I might like go to a little cafe or like another, ah like a restaurant or something later just to grab some dinner before I head back to the city. Yes. Oh, city. Are you ah from Arona?
01:17:58
Speaker
Technically, no, it's hard to explain where I'm from. It's a long story. I've got the spoons for it today. That's fine. And ah he takes out his ah pen and he writes a series of numbers on your hand and goes, call me whenever you're available. And he puts his headphones back on and starts to like shoot again. And every time he shoots at the media center. I look at the number and I'm like, all right. And then I go back to the front desk and I'm like, yeah, I think ah I think this one will work. i'll I'll take this and then maybe like to the crystals. So, you know, if one's charging, I got to back up. Oh, yeah, totally. um So you I'm happy you liked it. um Didn't have any problems at all. No concerns.
01:18:46
Speaker
No, other than like, you know, a little bit of amateur issues, but i'm I'll get it. No, you'll get a lot better. And you're always because you bought your gun here, you're always welcome to practice here. um Awesome. Appreciate it. Yeah, no problem. So that's going to be 85 fillas. All right. Let's see, I have 646. So I give them 85. I'm down to 561 now.
01:19:16
Speaker
Um, you got any like carrying cases I could use, like over the shoulder things or? Oh yeah, we also, yeah, we have, um, this sort of thing. And he sort of shows you like an off the shoulder bag that can just like hold it when he goes, but also because it's such a small gun whenever it's like not actually being used. Um, we do have this, which you can holster on your pants too. And he holds up like a smaller option. Yeah, I think I'll take the second one, the the smaller holster. Yeah, no problem. um This is like 15. Okay. I hand them the 15. Yep. like Have a good day. You too? Oh, um one more question. You got any recommendations for dinner around here?
01:20:03
Speaker
um I'm making out like creating an entire town. The town of Stolas is more filled out than it ever should have been. um you They have a strong, larping community. They have a gun range. What more could you want, people? I'm Brian Murphy-ing you. i know you are I know you are. I think that's going to be my thing. I'm just going to ask you every NPC's name. jason
01:20:37
Speaker
He looks and goes, um, there is a tequila and tequila Tuesdays. That's just like down down the street a bit. They do ah homemade tacos and stuff like that. That sounds like fun. I think I might stop there for dinner before I head back to the city. So thanks. Appreciate it. Yeah. Have a good one. You too. All right. What the fuck is Ina doing in this fucking reenactment? And how how did these? hey So I rolled all of these die. Will list Murphy was doing the shit. So I'm flirting with a hot dude. I'm flirting with the hot dude. So I will list you. You told me to do 12 rolls. I did motherfucking 12 rolls. OK, Scarlett, I rolled.
01:21:27
Speaker
Listen up, Scarlett, I'm only gonna say this once. I got a 12. Okay. A Okay. A Okay. A A 14. and an 11. And out of all of those rolls, I got two that got me stun points. Cool. I will tell you that if it's below 14, then the item probably wasn't your best one. If it's ah above 14, then it was pretty well made with what you had.
01:22:25
Speaker
Okay, so I basically, I failed one, two, three, four, five of the 12. Not bad. especially doing I those ones are probably like mid-tier. Yeah, but also people wouldn't notice because they're not using them for war. They're using them for decoration. so I know what it was. They took them before Ina could decorate them. That's what it was.
01:22:58
Speaker
Eda took him before she could decorate him. Whereas the 20, it was like clearly the last one and the guy started reaching for it and she slaps his hand and goes, No, I'm not done. Okay. Yeah. So Driton Sim with the tongs. didn't do Do you make anything for yourself in this forge? I would imagine she does, but I haven't rolled for that yet. Please, for the love of all those mercies. I didn't even think I was going to roll as high as a 20. I got a six, a five and a five. Yeah, no, as soon as I saw the 20, as soon as you said 20, I was like, oh, shit, that was fucking amazing. I rolled down all of the fucking dice rolls just in case. Please, for the love of God.
01:23:43
Speaker
a It wasn't my best role. It was worn out. Five, one, that's a six, plus four, that's a 10, plus a four, that's a 14. Now, if you do want to use a stunt point, I will allow it to be a better weapon. but less ah The look on Zoe's face. Absolutely. You will one of those stunt points to make it a better weapon. Yes.
01:24:18
Speaker
I will gladly give up a beloved stunt point to make it a better weapon. OK, then what was the original number? It was a 14. It was a 14. Move that 14 up to a 19.
01:24:46
Speaker
Now as the day like start as the sun starts going down the day starts going by um do you guys ever go to Walker's Antiquities or OK, hold on, was I paid for my work or was I not? You were. um Actually, actually, Marco comes by and goes, well, so like everybody was saying that you're probably one of the best blacksmiths like to like actually like come here and work. So like, thank you for like showing up like you're a godsend. um I imagine this is in the middle of her making like an 11 and she's like, I fucking told you that already.
01:25:22
Speaker
And he's just like, I just want to like give you your wages for today. And whatever tips you made, you get to keep, obviously. um So tips. Yeah, this cup right here. And he like holds it up and you see that's like almost all the way full. Oh, her eyes go wide and she goes, I can buy so many self-cheezing pretzels with those tips. And he goes, excuse me.
01:25:49
Speaker
The pretzel man, you know the pretzel man who sells the self-chasing pretzels? You mean the one that walks around during club hours so he can like sober up the drunk female? Clearly this was made from the gods and then she pulls out a self-chasing pretzel that she warmed up. in the actual blacksmithing and she takes a giant bite out of it. And he goes, all right. All right. You know what? That's that's cool, I guess. um Yeah. So here's your wages. And he gives you a um small it's a check. So you're going to have to ask Solas what to do with said check. But it says 750 fillers. Fuck you, Kyle.
01:26:35
Speaker
and the tips that are in the chat. I'm actually responsible with my money, thank you. 700, yeah, you were responsible and bought a gun.
01:26:47
Speaker
Kyle knew what he wanted. To be fair, Kyle came into this campaign with one thing and one thing only, give me gun. I want a gun.
01:26:58
Speaker
Okay and then you said about the tips? Yeah the tips there's probably around 125 in your tip jar. She then looks at the money and she goes, I'm telling no one. Well, you have to tell Solas so you know how to make the paper that he gave you into actual money. She then looks at Marco, her new best friend, her her lifetime man. ah She then says, Marco, excuse me for a second. How do you make this paper money into coin money? And then she jingles the cup that has the coin money.
01:27:37
Speaker
um He goes, just like go to your bank and they'll just like turn it into actual fillers. Or you could just put it into your bank account. Quick question there. That sounds exactly like something I could do. What's a bank? He looks at you for the longest time and goes, oh, that was so funny. Oh my God, you're really funny. Yeah, okay, I'm gonna leave. He just walks away. As he as he starts laughing, Ina then like awkwardly is standing there and she's like, should I laugh? Should I laugh? And then as he's saying like, oh, you're so funny. She then goes, ha ha ha ha ha ha.
01:28:20
Speaker
He, Marco walks away and says, you're so funny. And ah yeah, so that was that was your day. You know, um the sun is going down, it is starting to get dark out. So do you guys end up going to Walker Antiquities at all? Or what exactly? I imagine that is where Ina is headed after having this discussion with Marco about a thing called the bank. She does not know what the bank is, but she knows must bank she must know that she needs the bank. OK, so it takes you it's like an hour walk from ah the park to the she has like it like I think what she does is she hides the money under her pretzels.
01:29:10
Speaker
Tight, tight, tight, tight, tight. How many pretzels do you have? I bought 50 pretzels. Jesus. I bought like 40 fillers worth of pretzels. That's fair. which was like the whole man's cart. Yeah, it was. Murphy, do you, and I know you're having dinner in Stolus, but are you going to end up going back to Walker, or you're just going to wait outside Stolus' apartment for her?
01:29:45
Speaker
I think I'll go back to the store since I assume that I know the hours of the store. Yeah. Yeah. Literally, Solas said come by any time of the day, even if it's like 15 minutes to close or whatever. But they don't know if he's just going to go to the store and just kind of like tell Solas about the day about the hot guy. OK, can you guys both roll me a 3D six? Whoever gets higher got there first. OK. I really do hope Ina doesn't get there first.
Murphy at the Antiquity Shop
01:30:18
Speaker
I got a 12. I got a four, a four. Am I adding anything to this, or is it just straight D3? Perfect. I got a four, a four, a two. That's a 10. OK, Murphy, you end up there first. And Murph, when you walk in, Solas is at the front counter talking to somebody, but you see
01:30:42
Speaker
um little like Two little girls and a little boy, all with bunny ears, all white stark blonde hair, just like running around the entire antiquity shop while Solas is actively ignoring them and is just talking to a customer. um One looks to be around the age of like, like in human years, I'm giving you like the thing. One looks to be the age of 11. The other one, the other girl looks like to be the age of seven and the little boy looks to be the age of five. Hmm. I think Murph is going to give like a wave to the kids if they're even paying attention. Oh oh yeah, they stop when you walk in.
01:31:35
Speaker
Yeah. So I'll just give a wave and I'll be like, hey, I'm Solace's friend, Murphy. And they go, Solace is friend. And Solace, like, looks up and goes, hi, Murphy. um And you hear Solace look, well, first you see Solace, like, look at what you can assume are her siblings. And she goes, Sage, Sorsha, Sawyer. go away and there's like so less and shows no you've been just running around the entire time leave they like go into like the back room she goes oh my god and she goes back to the customer and she goes i'm so sorry about that um nothing's gonna go so stool behind the counter
01:32:26
Speaker
And just like, still having the number written on your hand. ah and Looking at it, trying to figure it out. Yeah, and you see Solas like put something like into a bag and then give it and she goes, thank you so much for coming to walker antiquities and godly relics. We have a wonderful day. And um they just like the person she's talking to just like bows their head respectfully and like walks out. um As the person walks out, I assume that's when fucking, you know, comes barging in.
01:32:59
Speaker
I think you see Ina walking by like in the storefront and you just see her like.
Ina's Energetic Arrival and Reflections
01:33:07
Speaker
Like just complete cartoon character. She then like, I guess like before the customer gets to the door, she then bursts open. She's like, I have the best of days. Hello fellow mortal. And then proceeds to then allow the person out and she goes, I have learned proper space boundaries today. Solas looks, like, turns and looks directly at you, Murph, and goes, are you not with her all day?
01:33:42
Speaker
No. Murphy's in the box. Murphy. Actually, that's funny. I'm going to say no. No. No. I was not. I went my own way. I figured she's going to learn, so she'll do it on the spot. Okay, how is your name? She then comes in and she slams down her pretzel money bucket. And she goes, I been told from my newest friend, Mako, that I need to go to this thing called the bank. And she puts it in air quotes.
01:34:20
Speaker
the bank. Why do you need to go to the bank? Because I got a job working as a blacksmith and and she pulls out this beautiful gorgeous looking double like I'm gonna say it's a two-handed sword like absolutely like Definitely Ina, Pristine, also all of the swords and the shields, whatever she made for them over at the like Ren fair had her maker's mark on it. um And she said, and I need a safe place to store this. And then she slams it down. And she goes, I made three friends. One was an amazing dwarf person. I'm pretty sure it was one of my siblings. Another one was...
01:35:07
Speaker
wonderful person named Vincent, and he showed me where to go. He showed me all about bedazzling and taught me all about personal space boundaries. And then there was this nice person named Marco, who exactly understood what I was saying when I said it, though they did try to do what is called a, and then she puts air quotes again, a kiss, but I don't know what that means. So here I am.
01:35:36
Speaker
Solas breathes for a second and goes, okay, you made a lot of friends today. I made so many friends, including the two that we made last night, because I punched them in the faces. Now, there's something about your story that I just need to go back on from our conversation this morning, Ina. Yes? You don't know what a kiss is. Yes, I also don't know what a bank is. But you fucked. It tracks. I all the time. I kind of like lean over to solace and I'm like, she doesn't actually mean it. I know. She never passed. We know. I then flick Murphy up on the nose and I go, I fuck all the time.
