Episode 5
C1 | Pickle & Beats | S1E5
On the run and out of time, the crew claws their way out of the Gutterrun and into Lowthorn looking for anywhere safe to disappear. A risky detour drops them into the Rusted Piper, where blending in means stepping into the spotlight. With eyes already on them and pressure mounting from multiple directions, they gamble on a loud, public play that could buy them breathing room, or put them on everyone’s map.

S1E5 - TRANSCRIPT
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.900
Intro Music, heavy guitar and drums, fade in
00:00:00.900 --> 00:00:07.040
Kurt: Welcome back, everybody, for session five of Tales by Daggerlight, where we play Daggerheart.
00:00:07.780 --> 00:00:09.460
What did we do last time? Does anybody-?
00:00:09.420 --> 00:00:10.020
John: We did not walk into-
00:00:09.660 --> 00:00:11.460
Geoff: What did we do Seraphina?
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:12.700
What did we do?
00:00:12.100 --> 00:00:13.300
Laughter
00:00:12.700 --> 00:00:15.060
Kurt: Ahhhh… no.
00:00:15.060 --> 00:00:16.260
Jenn: We did the thing.
00:00:16.260 --> 00:00:17.640
Kurt: Yeah.
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:18.700
Kai: Seraphina and the Warriors.
00:00:20.060 --> 00:00:23.700
Kurt: We'll get into the recap a little bit later. But before we get started,
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:28.660
let's take a moment to hear from one of our heroic sponsors, Luck Factory Games.
00:00:28.060 --> 00:00:29.260
Upbeat guitar strumming and light drums.
00:00:28.660 --> 00:00:38.031
Jenn: This episode of Tales by Daggerlight is powered by our friends at Luck Factory
00:00:38.031 --> 00:00:42.320
Games, the board game café where adventures come alive.
00:00:42.900 --> 00:00:44.111
Right here in Concord,
00:00:44.111 --> 00:00:47.440
North Carolina, Luck Factory isn't just a place to grab dice.
00:00:47.800 --> 00:00:49.149
It's where we first
00:00:49.149 --> 00:00:53.527
rolled into Daggerheart. We found our party and kicked off the story you're hearing
00:00:53.527 --> 00:00:56.660

00:00:56.660 --> 00:00:59.235
the tables are set for quests, and the

NOTE
Introduction
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:10.280
Dramatic rock style orchestral
00:01:11.240 --> 00:01:16.780
Kurt: In every city, every kingdom, there's a story that never sees the light.
00:01:17.460 --> 00:01:23.280
The one that falls through the cracks, bleeds through the floorboards, and smiles when the sun finally goes down.
00:01:23.940 --> 00:01:29.720
Where heroic promises, broken oaths, bad decisions, and desperate prayers all sit at the same table.
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.960
Six heroes emerge out of the edge of the shadows. Ciaran;
00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:37.460
Ciaran (Luke): No matter what, there will be consequences.
00:01:37.800 --> 00:01:38.280
Kurt: Zeph;
00:01:38.340 --> 00:01:39.640
Zeph (Kevin): That asshole needed to die.
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:40.920
Kurt: Pi N’kuwa;
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:42.900
Pi N’kuwa (Geoff): You said we were talking, but you're not saying a
00:01:42.900 --> 00:01:43.140
lot.
00:01:43.080 --> 00:01:43.680
Kurt: Seraphina;
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.030
Seraphina (Jenn): Look, I have the voice of an angel, we all know
00:01:46.030 --> 00:01:46.320
it.
00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:46.920
Kurt: Severian;
00:01:47.060 --> 00:01:49.740
Severian (Kai): It's not a murder… if… he’s
00:01:49.740 --> 00:01:50.460
food.
00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:51.600
Kurt: and Basagar;
00:01:51.860 --> 00:01:52.980
Basagar (John): We need to get to the castle.
00:01:54.160 --> 00:02:02.325
Kurt: Together, they walk the line between mercy and ruin, rolling bones against hope and fear in a world that wants them
00:02:02.325 --> 00:02:07.840
obedient, or worse, dead. So lace your boots, check your blades, and hold your breath.
00:02:08.500 --> 00:02:09.780
Meet us at the blade's edge.
00:02:10.300 --> 00:02:13.240
Once this story starts, it doesn't let you go.
00:02:13.940 --> 00:02:16.120
This is Tales by Daggerlight.
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:18.120
Music Fades
00:02:23.540 --> 00:02:28.821
Kurt: Previously, Wilhelm returned from the brink of death babbling about First Blood and
00:02:28.821 --> 00:02:34.101
the visions of the city collapsing, while Father Ulrich Vane nearly exhausted himself
00:02:34.101 --> 00:02:40.069
keeping Wilhelm alive. You brought the beta prince down to a sewer safe house in
00:02:40.069 --> 00:02:44.956
the grates of Gutterrun, and there you found Prince Manny, overheard a hit planned
00:02:44.956 --> 00:02:49.843
for Prince Rhydian, and when a guard found you, Zeph dragged them down, and Basagar
00:02:49.843 --> 00:02:57.755
ended them swiftly. On his body, a tracking chit stamped ‘M - Zeph Virel’, signed ‘E.
00:02:57.755 --> 00:03:01.860
D.’ Then Basagar and Severian saw the same memories from Zeph's blood.
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:03.258
King Alric
00:03:03.258 --> 00:03:07.980
promising a pregnant woman named Linessa her child would be hidden.
00:03:08.580 --> 00:03:10.008
And Zeph went
00:03:10.008 --> 00:03:13.340
cold because, “Linessa is his mother's name.”
00:03:14.300 --> 00:03:18.060
While talking to Wilhelm, he told you about his love interest named Angelica.
00:03:18.420 --> 00:03:23.632
She was the reason he was down in the Hasp market in the first place and was very concerned about her
00:03:23.632 --> 00:03:23.880
well-being.
00:03:24.460 --> 00:03:29.635
Seraphina bought Issava’s loyalty, for now, and told him to go check on Angelica in
00:03:29.635 --> 00:03:31.360
the Brine and Barrel Tavern.
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:35.230
The Virelian Guard were fast approaching, and Zeph led
00:03:35.230 --> 00:03:40.130
you through the sewers with guidance from Pi N'kuwa, and you chose Lowthorn as your
00:03:40.130 --> 00:03:46.362
exit. The tunnel narrowed into thorn-choked stone as it forced you onto a brutal
00:03:46.362 --> 00:03:52.698
150-foot ladder and halfway up green oozes, acid slime that clung and burned, fell
00:03:52.698 --> 00:03:54.960
down from the sewers above.
00:03:55.720 --> 00:03:57.300
Cutting them didn't seem to solve it,
00:03:57.620 --> 00:03:59.210
each one split into
00:03:59.210 --> 00:04:03.980
smaller copies dropping below like the sewer was reproducing problems on purpose.
00:04:04.860 --> 00:04:05.218
As
00:04:05.218 --> 00:04:07.720
you scrambled you finally saw the source;
00:04:08.100 --> 00:04:16.080
a massive heaving slime mass, filling the passage, shedding pieces of itself into the flow;
00:04:16.820 --> 00:04:27.330
patient, endless, and hungry. You burst into Lowthorn, filthy and scratched, heartbeat still sprinting, only to find the district
00:04:27.330 --> 00:04:29.700
strangely normal on the surface.
00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:37.820
Guildfolk, artisans, and hurried patrols chasing bigger crises than you, which made you briefly invisible.
00:04:38.500 --> 00:04:46.092
You took that sliver of luck and ducked into the Rusted Piper, Lowthorn's notorious fight pit and gambling hall, hoping for
00:04:46.092 --> 00:04:47.900
cover, air, and a plan.
00:04:48.840 --> 00:04:56.405
Instead, Seraphina's smooth-talking got you inside, and you got mistakenly booked as tonight's entertainment because the real
00:04:56.405 --> 00:04:59.720
band didn't show. So that's where you ended.
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:06.100
Backstage in a roaring arena and tavern introduced as Seraphina and the Warriors,
00:05:06.760 --> 00:05:14.258
a band with no instruments smelling like sewer water, trying to look confident while the first blood still hangs over the
00:05:14.258 --> 00:05:16.400
city like a curse with teeth.
00:05:16.400 --> 00:05:32.320
But we open the scene in the “B” Green Room with Seraphina and the Warriors.Ser
00:05:32.320 --> 00:05:40.560
Severian (Kai): Am I to understand that you have people that fight each other for fun and other people watch?
00:05:40.820 --> 00:05:41.220
Seraphina (Jenn): Yeah.
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:41.880
Severian (Kai): For fun?
00:05:42.140 --> 00:05:42.460
Seraphina (Jenn): Yeah.
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:46.720
Severian (Kai): Not because they need to survive.
00:05:47.580 --> 00:05:49.340
Seraphina (Jenn): No, just to blow off some steam.
00:05:49.900 --> 00:05:51.540
Severian (Kai): Hmm. Interesting.
00:05:51.540 --> 00:05:53.100
Seraphina (Jenn): And you can make money, too.
00:05:53.840 --> 00:05:55.020
Severian (Kai): Very interesting.
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.660
Seraphina (Jenn): People get pretty drunk and the tips get pretty good, though, by the end of the night.
00:06:00.020 --> 00:06:00.460
Zeph (Kevin): Seraphina-
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:01.320
Seraphina (Jenn): Mmhmm?
00:06:02.060 --> 00:06:08.400
Zeph (Kevin): What exactly is a ballad battle?
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:10.340
Seraphina (Jenn): A ballad battle?
00:06:10.520 --> 00:06:12.520
Zeph (Kevin): Isn't that- a battle ballad?
00:06:12.520 --> 00:06:12.853
Kurt: Battle Ballad
00:06:12.853 --> 00:06:13.300
Seraphina (Jenn): A Battle Ballad
00:06:13.300 --> 00:06:15.620
Zeph (Kevin): - is what you have agreed to partake in?
00:06:16.180 --> 00:06:21.280
Kurt: A battle ballad is a new entertainment event here at the Rusted Piper.
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:24.180
Geoff: Does Seraphina know what we signed up for?
00:06:25.540 --> 00:06:34.440
Jenn: No, but she figured if it involves needing to sing good and capturing the eye of the crowd, she’s got it.
00:06:34.760 --> 00:06:37.640
Zeph (Kevin): So like I said, what? What?
00:06:37.640 --> 00:06:40.940
Seraphina (Jenn): Well I’m assuming there’s other performers,
00:06:42.340 --> 00:06:42.700
and-
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:44.540
Ciaran (Luke): Like the ones that called out sick.
00:06:45.860 --> 00:06:47.880
Seraphina (Jenn): I mean they said that they did but I don't know.
00:06:48.260 --> 00:06:49.800
But, yeah, uh, I don't know.
00:06:49.880 --> 00:06:50.540
We'll find out!
00:06:50.940 --> 00:06:53.800
Zeph (Kevin): We'll find out ?
00:06:55.300 --> 00:07:02.520
Seraphina (Jenn): Yeah, you know how like when you took us through the sewers and we found out how horrible it was?
00:07:02.780 --> 00:07:08.035
Zeph (Kevin): Oh I knew ahead of time. If you had you asked I would have told you exactly what we were in
00:07:08.035 --> 00:07:08.560
for so.
00:07:08.960 --> 00:07:09.520
Seraphina (Jenn): Yeah, well.
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:11.700
Zeph (Kevin): I mean they're sewers what did you expect?
00:07:12.400 --> 00:07:14.320
Seraphina (Jenn): Oh no, but not green things
00:07:14.400 --> 00:07:15.040
that was weird.
00:07:15.440 --> 00:07:20.293
Zeph (Kevin): So just a thought could you maybe go ask-
00:07:20.213 --> 00:07:20.453
Seraphina (Jenn): Yeah!
00:07:20.293 --> 00:07:24.540
Zeph (Kevin): -what this particular form of entertainment entails?
00:07:25.280 --> 00:07:33.981
Jenn: Sure. So yeah, she pops out of the green room and either looks for Korga or Sil and asks for a
00:07:33.981 --> 00:07:35.719
little bit of more information.
00:07:35.719 --> 00:07:43.540
Seraphina (Jenn): So that I can make sure that my performance is what the people want to see for tonight.
00:07:43.540 --> 00:07:46.820
Kurt: You see Korga off in the distance.
00:07:46.940 --> 00:07:51.920
He looks like he's talking with a bunch of attendance and patrons of the Rusted Piper.
00:07:52.340 --> 00:07:54.920
The first person you see is Sil.
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:56.620
He looks like he's kind of getting ready.
00:07:56.780 --> 00:07:58.440
He's putting on a vest. And
00:07:58.440 --> 00:08:02.620
it looks like he’s getting his showmanship garb down.
00:08:03.080 --> 00:08:05.238
He sees you coming up and goes;
00:08:05.238 --> 00:08:06.780
Sil (Kurt): Oh, haha, Seraphina? Are you ready?
00:08:07.251 --> 00:08:08.520
The stage is about to open.
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:13.153
Seraphina (Jenn): Yeah, I just had a quick question because, like, when I've performed here before, there were definitely people
00:08:13.153 --> 00:08:18.080
in the pit. And I was on the stage, and I performed while people were fighting.
00:08:18.200 --> 00:08:20.240
I just was checking, like, is that what's going on tonight?
00:08:20.520 --> 00:08:23.140
Sil (Kurt): Have you never done a battle ballad before?
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:24.720
Seraphina (Jenn): No.
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.440
Sil (Kurt): Chuckles
00:08:26.440 --> 00:08:30.932
Seraphina (Jenn): So I was just like, you know, I want to make sure that I give the people the performance that they
00:08:30.932 --> 00:08:31.360
came for.
00:08:31.580 --> 00:08:33.440
Sil (Kurt): Oh, right. Well, yeah, a
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:36.760
battle ballad, you're going to be going up against the house band.
00:08:37.900 --> 00:08:38.260
Seraphina (Jenn): Okay.
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:40.160
Sil (Kurt): They're going to be on the stage opposite you.
00:08:40.260 --> 00:08:42.360
They're still going to be fighting in the ring, but whatever.
00:08:42.500 --> 00:08:42.740
Seraphina (Jenn): Okay.
00:08:43.180 --> 00:08:44.700
Sil (Kurt): They're going to, they're going to perform,
00:08:44.820 --> 00:08:45.620
then you're going to perform,
00:08:46.100 --> 00:08:48.640
then they'll be a give and take.
00:08:48.900 --> 00:08:49.460
So it's-
00:08:49.460 --> 00:08:51.960
Seraphina (Jenn): Okay. So is it like an applause thing?
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.940
Like, so the audience, whoever the audience likes best wins?
00:08:55.560 --> 00:08:56.680
Sil (Kurt): Sure. Yeah.
00:08:56.820 --> 00:08:58.820
Seraphina (Jenn): Is there, uh, is there a,
00:08:58.820 --> 00:08:59.760
is there a prize money?
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:01.780
Sil (Kurt): There's always prize money, dear.
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:03.600
Seraphina (Jenn): Now you're talking my language, silly
00:09:03.780 --> 00:09:05.320
Sil (Kurt): You'll get a cut of the take.
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:05.740
Seraphina (Jenn): All right.
00:09:05.820 --> 00:09:08.477
Je: And she gives them a little pat on the face and goes;
00:09:08.477 --> 00:09:08.920
Seraphina (Jenn): Thanks, sweetheart.
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:10.920
Je: And she turns back and goes back in.
00:09:10.920 --> 00:09:12.600
Sil (Kurt): You're on in five. Make sure you're ready.
00:09:12.940 --> 00:09:13.180
Seraphina (Jenn): Okay.
00:09:13.300 --> 00:09:20.113
John: I think from there, as she's walking away, we cut to Basagar looking at Ciaran
00:09:20.113 --> 00:09:26.700
as he's a large, slightly larger than a Doberman, dog,
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:34.180
clarity, who's like double-coated and he's kind of like sitting as like a dog would sit.
00:09:34.700 --> 00:09:37.140
And Basagar again still looks the same color,
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:41.120
whereas this time there are speckled spots,
00:09:41.340 --> 00:09:44.500
but those speckled spots are his like mushroom cap color.
00:09:44.820 --> 00:09:48.080
And he's looking and he kind of holds up his paws a little bit.
00:09:48.100 --> 00:09:48.414
He's like;
00:09:48.414 --> 00:09:49.200
Basagar (John): So you mean like this?
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:50.600
You want me to sit like this?
00:09:51.040 --> 00:09:51.800
And that will-
00:09:51.800 --> 00:09:54.280
Ciaran (Luke): A little bit further back on your haunches.
00:09:54.780 --> 00:09:55.740
John: And he leans back.
00:09:56.180 --> 00:10:00.680
Ciaran (Luke): There you go. That looks almost natural enough to not freak everyone out.
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:02.000
Basagar (John): I see.
00:10:02.220 --> 00:10:02.480
Ciaran (Luke): Almost.
00:10:02.760 --> 00:10:06.300
Basagar (John): And then I hold a hat in my mouth and ask for money?
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:08.120
Ciaran (Luke): You don't ask for money.
00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:10.740
You just look at them with like upturned eyes.
00:10:11.280 --> 00:10:11.520
Yeah.
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:12.600
Basagar (John): Like this?
00:10:12.640 --> 00:10:15.300
John: And he's going to try to make puppy dog eyes.
00:10:16.520 --> 00:10:16.900
Ciaran (Luke): Sure.
00:10:17.060 --> 00:10:19.000
John: Can I roll? See how well I-?
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:19.240
Kurt: Absolutely.
00:10:20.060 --> 00:10:21.360
John: What is this? A presence roll?
00:10:21.560 --> 00:10:25.480
Jenn: I feel like Bas would be kind of good at doing puppy dog eyes, right?
00:10:25.362 --> 00:10:26.100
Kurt: 100% Your own presence, yeah.
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:27.620
You are trying to charm.
00:10:27.620 --> 00:10:29.140
John: I have a negative one to presence.
00:10:29.140 --> 00:10:29.380
Jenn: Oh.
00:10:29.380 --> 00:10:36.180
John: And a dog or household friend beast form does not have any pluses to that.
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:38.900
Kurt: I'm going to give you a… uh roll with advantage.
00:10:38.900 --> 00:10:40.900
Laughter
00:10:41.380 --> 00:10:41.860
John: Shenanigans.
00:10:41.860 --> 00:10:42.900
Geoff: Crit!
00:10:42.900 --> 00:10:46.060
John: Can I do my companion D8 advantage?
00:10:46.780 --> 00:10:48.800
As a companion, I help an ally.
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:51.460
I can roll a D8 as my advantage died instead.
00:10:51.460 --> 00:10:52.040
Kurt: Oh, yeah! Absolutely.
00:10:52.040 --> 00:10:53.460
John: Alright, great.
00:10:53.580 --> 00:10:54.060
Jenn: Nice.
00:10:55.900 --> 00:11:00.360
John: Okay. It's a, it's not a crit, but it's a dirty crit?
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:01.240
Kurt: Yeah?
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:08.071
John: Because I rolled a 12 in a total of 12 with the D8 and the D6,
00:11:08.071 --> 00:11:11.500
or D12. So I have 24 for a 23.
00:11:11.500 --> 00:11:11.740
Kurt: You heard it hear first
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:13.440
folks. We're coining it a dirty crit.
00:11:13.680 --> 00:11:14.260
John: A dirty crit.
00:11:14.260 --> 00:11:16.260
Laughter
00:11:16.260 --> 00:11:17.620
John: That is a 23 with
00:11:17.620 --> 00:11:17.860
hope.
00:11:17.820 --> 00:11:19.940
Kurt: A 23, you are yeah
00:11:21.540 --> 00:11:23.960
you almost forget he's Basagar for a second.
00:11:24.880 --> 00:11:28.400
Jenn: So like this you start pulling money out of your pocket to put in the hat.
00:11:28.500 --> 00:11:28.747
You're like
00:11:28.747 --> 00:11:29.240
‘What am I doing?!’.
00:11:29.700 --> 00:11:34.860
Ciaran (Luke): That's- yes, just go out like, now, like that,
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:35.460
yes.
00:11:35.640 --> 00:11:40.320
Zeph (Kevin): That’s not bad. But remember, dog who cannot talk.
00:11:40.580 --> 00:11:40.960
Basagar (John): Woof.
00:11:41.280 --> 00:11:41.840
Ciaran (Luke): There you go.
00:11:41.920 --> 00:11:42.300
Ciaran (Luke): Perfect.
00:11:42.980 --> 00:11:43.896
Seraphina (Jenn): I mean I’m-
00:11:43.896 --> 00:11:45.400
Geoff: That’s gonna terrify people but alright.
00:11:45.900 --> 00:11:52.180
Seraphina (Jenn): I mean honestly though, having a dog that talks might be kind of cool.
00:11:52.400 --> 00:11:53.680
Zeph (Kevin): Oh hey, so what did you find out?
00:11:53.680 --> 00:11:54.460
Seraphina (Jenn): Um-
00:11:54.460 --> 00:11:56.720
Kurt: A knock at the door,
00:11:57.100 --> 00:11:58.480
it is Sil,
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.680
Sil (Kurt): Ooh uh right. I know you guys aren't ready yet, um,
00:12:01.680 --> 00:12:03.000
just want to poke my head in and
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:04.500
make sure you guys are aware.
00:12:04.980 --> 00:12:09.340
Do, do you have a… somebody to introduce you?
00:12:09.860 --> 00:12:10.260
Zeph (Kevin): Sure.
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:15.820
Sil (Kurt): I didn’t know if you wanted somebody from the house to do it for you, but uh, just making
00:12:15.820 --> 00:12:16.060
sure.
00:12:16.020 --> 00:12:19.680
Seraphina (Jenn): Sil if you want to do it for us, sweetie, that would be great.
00:12:19.680 --> 00:12:20.680
Sil (Kurt): Oh I’m doing it for the other band,
00:12:20.760 --> 00:12:22.040
I can’t do you, too.
00:12:22.040 --> 00:12:22.460
Seraphina (Jenn): Aw.
00:12:22.460 --> 00:12:22.860
Sil (Kurt): Sorry.
00:12:22.860 --> 00:12:24.300
Seraphina (Jenn): Ok.
00:12:24.300 --> 00:12:24.660
Basagar (John): Woof.
00:12:26.300 --> 00:12:26.940
Sil (Kurt): Cute dog.
00:12:27.740 --> 00:12:28.100
Seraphina (Jenn): Thanks!
00:12:28.280 --> 00:12:29.180
Sil (Kurt): What’s wrong with his head?
00:12:29.520 --> 00:12:30.300
Seraphina (Jenn): He’s special.
00:12:30.300 --> 00:12:34.325
John: To specify, I do not have a mushroom cap, with the red
00:12:34.325 --> 00:12:35.100
at the white-
00:12:35.100 --> 00:12:45.740
Kurt: Oh, got ya. Ok. Not a dog with a mushroom head?
00:12:45.740 --> 00:12:47.420
John: -are spotted throughout my body.
00:12:47.420 --> 00:12:49.620
Kurt: Ok, I thought you were like a dog with a mushroom head.
00:12:49.620 --> 00:12:52.380
John: So I'm like a furrier Dalmatian with the size of, like, a Great Dane.
00:12:52.500 --> 00:12:53.060
Kurt: I got you.
00:12:53.060 --> 00:12:54.440
Luke: With a really weird coloration.
00:12:54.660 --> 00:12:55.840
John: Yeah, for sure.
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:57.900
Severian (Kai): I wish to compete in the fighting for fun.
00:12:58.420 --> 00:12:59.180
Sil (Kurt): What? What?
00:12:59.860 --> 00:13:01.640
Severian (Kai): I wish to compete in the fighting for fun.
00:13:02.040 --> 00:13:03.740
Sil (Kurt): You're not part of the band?
00:13:04.380 --> 00:13:08.800
Severian (Kai): I am with these people, but I wish to compete in the fighting.
00:13:08.940 --> 00:13:09.880
Sil (Kurt): As a solo act?
00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:12.300
Severian (Kai): I am a warrior from a far land.
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:14.240
Seraphina (Jenn): Yeah, he wants to get in the fighting ring.
00:13:14.820 --> 00:13:15.120
Sil (Kurt): Huh.
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:16.740
Seraphina (Jenn): Trust me, it'll be interesting.
00:13:17.640 --> 00:13:18.360
Sil (Kurt): By yourself?
00:13:18.660 --> 00:13:20.740
Severian (Kai): Should I kill them or-?
00:13:20.740 --> 00:13:21.540
Sil (Kurt): Kill them?!
00:13:21.620 --> 00:13:22.780
Severian (Kai): Do we go that far?
00:13:23.180 --> 00:13:29.199
Sil (Kurt): It's never to the death here but uh- if they don't yield I'd say it's on them how far you take
00:13:29.199 --> 00:13:29.500
it.
00:13:29.800 --> 00:13:31.180
Severian (Kai): And if I eat them?
00:13:31.180 --> 00:13:35.280
Sil (Kurt): What?! No no you don't-
00:13:35.280 --> 00:13:36.620
Severian (Kai): After they're dead of course.
00:13:36.880 --> 00:13:37.280
Sil (Kurt): No!
00:13:37.280 --> 00:13:40.780
Severian (Kai): Oh. Well a little less fun, but-
00:13:40.780 --> 00:13:45.960
Sil (Kurt): What have you gotten yourself into Seraphina? What?
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:47.280
Seraphina (Jenn): It's good to have friends.
00:13:47.280 --> 00:13:52.380
Luke: Ciaran is curled up in into in a ball in the corner of the room, hiding his face.
00:13:53.180 --> 00:14:02.220
Kurt: Yeah, Prince Wilhelm is kind of sitting there and he's got a hood on like a duck down real low. Sil
00:14:02.220 --> 00:14:03.140
goes;
00:14:03.140 --> 00:14:09.180
Sil (Kurt): Um, oh, well yeah if you want to enter the fight as a solo competitor that that's
00:14:09.180 --> 00:14:09.640
that
00:14:09.640 --> 00:14:11.260
could be… give me a second. .
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:15.460
Let me make a round around the crowd, see if I can get some bets going.
00:14:15.820 --> 00:14:16.900
Severian (Kai): Is that a yes on the killing?
00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:20.220
Zeph (Kevin): If they yield, no killing.
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:22.540
Severian (Kai): Explain the concept of yielding.
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:25.518
Seraphina (Jenn): That's usually when they throw their weapons down.
00:14:25.213 --> 00:14:25.822
Basagar (John): They beg for mercy.
00:14:25.518 --> 00:14:28.260
Seraphina (Jenn): And they say, ‘You won, you're stronger than me.’
00:14:28.340 --> 00:14:29.480
Severian (Kai): I've never seen such a thing.
00:14:30.100 --> 00:14:31.740
Zeph (Kevin): Well, you might.
00:14:32.300 --> 00:14:33.340
Basagar (John): You need me to join you?
00:14:34.603 --> 00:14:35.420
Are you doing this alone?
00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:38.240
Severian (Kai): It's a thrill. I'm excited to go.
00:14:38.820 --> 00:14:39.920
I can do it alone.
00:14:40.420 --> 00:14:41.600
John: I gave you the puppy dog look.
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:43.600
Laughter
00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:46.820
Geoff: I feel like it has the opposite effect.
00:14:46.820 --> 00:14:48.820
Laughter
00:14:48.900 --> 00:14:53.271
Kurt: You hear the crowd starting to murmur and get loud that
00:14:53.271 --> 00:14:54.229
people are starting to get
00:14:54.229 --> 00:15:00.127
seated. You can see through a little window in the door that on the other stage there are some what looks
00:15:00.127 --> 00:15:02.062
like members starting up. They're,
00:15:02.062 --> 00:15:05.680
they looks like they're setting up some type of instrumental.
00:15:06.260 --> 00:15:14.541
They got this big bass lute that's kind of like setting on like a big barrel of like a drum that
00:15:14.541 --> 00:15:16.880
they're using to to reverberate the low frequency
00:15:16.800 --> 00:15:23.640
and there's some other guys that looks like they're tuning their their hand guitar or lyre, whatever they're doing.
00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:26.560
But it looks like they're they're prepping themselves, for sure.
00:15:27.640 --> 00:15:28.760
Ciaran (Luke): How badly do we want to win?
00:15:29.680 --> 00:15:30.480
Seraphina (Jenn): We'll win.
00:15:31.760 --> 00:15:33.780
Ciaran (Luke): How likely is that really?
00:15:35.060 --> 00:15:37.740
Seraphina (Jenn): I don't know. It depends on how terrible you guys are.
00:15:38.100 --> 00:15:39.000
Ciaran (Luke): Let's assume we are.
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:39.800
Seraphina (Jenn): Okay.
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:42.280
Ciaran (Luke): It's a safe assumption.
00:15:42.620 --> 00:15:43.160
Zeph (Kevin): I think it is.
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:44.600
Ciaran (Luke): Do we wish to win?
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:47.420
Pi N'kuwa (Geoff): Were there any rules? What happens if we lose?
00:15:47.900 --> 00:15:49.800
Seraphina (Jenn): Oh, then we let Severian kill the other band.
00:15:50.400 --> 00:15:52.400
Pi N'kuwa (Geoff): Oh, okay. Seems like low risk.
00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:56.220
Seraphina (Jenn): I was kidding. I was kidding, Ciaran.
00:15:56.220 --> 00:15:58.260
Zeph (Kevin): You can't say these things in front of him.
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:02.020
He'll take it seriously! Look, he's already sharpening his swords.
00:16:02.020 --> 00:16:03.080
Kai: One hundred percent took it seriously.
00:16:04.160 --> 00:16:04.760
Zeph (Kevin): Like Severian?
00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:06.560
Pi N'kuwa (Geoff): Severian's just eyeing up the other band.
00:16:06.560 --> 00:16:08.920
John: I put a paw on his sword and just lower it.
00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:10.860
Ciaran (Luke): Do we want to sabotage the other band?
00:16:10.880 --> 00:16:12.200
Severian (Kai): I don't have to kill them if they yield.
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:12.980
I've learned this.
00:16:13.040 --> 00:16:16.560
Seraphina (Jenn): I mean, if you have a way of sabotaging the other band.
00:16:17.640 --> 00:16:18.980
Ciaran (Luke): I'm not saying I don't.
00:16:19.420 --> 00:16:25.420
Seraphina (Jenn): I just, Ciaran, I find it disappointing that you don't have more faith in my performing skills.
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:27.460
Ciaran (Luke): Your performing skills are fine.
00:16:28.140 --> 00:16:30.140
It's when you signed five others up.
00:16:30.260 --> 00:16:31.580
Pi N'kuwa (Geoff): I am with Ciaran on this.
00:16:31.580 --> 00:16:33.300
Ciaran (Luke): Sorry, six others up. Wilhelm, you're not getting out of this.
00:16:33.300 --> 00:16:34.700
Prince Wilhelm (Kurt): No, no, no, no, no.
00:16:34.860 --> 00:16:37.580
I don't even have my flute.
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:39.000
Severian (Kai): You would.
00:16:38.740 --> 00:16:39.306
Seraphina (Jenn): You want me to-
00:16:39.100 --> 00:16:40.540
Ciaran (Luke): Does the other band have a flute?
00:16:40.880 --> 00:16:41.160
Kurt: No.
00:16:40.880 --> 00:16:41.760
Laughter
00:16:41.160 --> 00:16:44.220
Geoff: Aww.
00:16:44.220 --> 00:16:45.640
Kurt: I mean, I guess they could.
00:16:45.740 --> 00:16:46.380
You never know.
00:16:47.460 --> 00:16:52.880
Kai: Severian is preparing to fight, and he's going to use three hope for the No Mercy ability.
00:16:52.880 --> 00:16:54.880
Laughter
00:16:54.880 --> 00:16:55.640
Kevin: Hell yeah.
00:16:55.640 --> 00:16:59.780
Kai: Which gives me plus one bonus to my attack rules until my next rest.
00:17:00.300 --> 00:17:00.740
Kurt: Nice.
00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:04.700
Prince Wilhelm (Kurt): If you get me a flute, I'll gladly try to play along.
00:17:05.800 --> 00:17:07.360
Ciaran (Luke): I'll go see what I can acquire.
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:07.960
Prince Wilhelm (Kurt): Okay.
00:17:08.040 --> 00:17:15.200
Luke: And I'm going to take a few, like just a little bit to activate my Uncanny Disguise spell
00:17:16.460 --> 00:17:19.140
to change my appearance completely-
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:20.600
Kurt: Makes sense.
00:17:22.300 --> 00:17:26.460
Luke: -into a fairly just plain looking person,
00:17:26.740 --> 00:17:31.420
the exact type of person you would expect to be a patron at this type of establishment.
00:17:31.940 --> 00:17:33.500
And I'm just going to walk right on out.
00:17:33.660 --> 00:17:34.140
Kurt: Okay.
00:17:34.740 --> 00:17:40.340
Luke: And make a beeline towards Sil or Korga, whoever I can see.
00:17:40.460 --> 00:17:43.220
Kurt: Mmhmm. Yeah, you see Sil.
00:17:43.220 --> 00:17:48.400
He is making his way down to the fighting arena,
00:17:48.780 --> 00:17:54.860
kind of climbing down the, like a rope ladder that they've rolled out for him to climb down.
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:58.040
He's got his master of ceremonies vest on.
00:17:58.280 --> 00:17:59.960
It's like he's getting ready to address the crowd.
00:18:00.060 --> 00:18:07.000
And you can see what looks like a half orc sitting in a booth watching over on the center side.
00:18:07.080 --> 00:18:13.160
He’s got big tusks that stick up from his bottom jaw. But
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:15.760
he would be the most approachable at the moment.
00:18:16.450 --> 00:18:17.020
Ciaran (Luke, Irish accent): Excuse me, sir.
00:18:17.020 --> 00:18:19.960
Korga: (Kurt): Hey, Hey, go sit down.
00:18:20.040 --> 00:18:21.020
The shows about to start.
00:18:21.424 --> 00:18:24.440
Ciaran (Luke, Irish accent): The band over there, they’ve been asking for instruments.
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:25.940
They didn’t bring their own.
00:18:25.940 --> 00:18:28.280
Korga: (Kurt): Who, the Iron Strings?
00:18:28.940 --> 00:18:29.720
Ciaran (Luke, Irish accent): No, the other one.
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:33.300
Korga: (Kurt): Fucking rookies. What do you need?
00:18:33.300 --> 00:18:36.780
Ciaran (Luke, Irish accent): Uh, flute, harp, whatever else you can acquire.
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:37.780
You never know.
00:18:37.780 --> 00:18:39.840
Korga: (Kurt): Alright.
00:18:39.840 --> 00:18:47.560
Kurt: You see he reaches into his vest pocket and pulls out a piccolo and answer you.
00:18:47.560 --> 00:18:48.900
Korga: (Kurt): That’s about all I got.
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:49.600
Ciaran (Luke, Irish accent): Thank you, sir.
00:18:49.600 --> 00:18:52.980
Korga: (Kurt): Yeah I love the flute.
00:18:52.380 --> 00:18:53.580
Laughter.
00:18:52.980 --> 00:18:58.760
Korga: (Kurt): Don’t break that, you hear.
00:18:58.820 --> 00:19:00.220
If you break it you’re paying for it!
00:19:00.500 --> 00:19:01.820
Ciaran (Luke, Irish accent): I would never, it’s not mine.
00:19:01.820 --> 00:19:04.560
Korga: (Kurt): Bring her right back when you’re done.
00:19:05.140 --> 00:19:05.820
Ciaran (Luke, Irish accent): I’ll be sure they do.
00:19:05.820 --> 00:19:07.060
Korga: (Kurt): Eh, alright.
00:19:07.060 --> 00:19:10.920
Kurt: Ok, you go back in with a little pickle flute.
00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:13.380
Ciaran (Luke): Ah, Wilhelm, this is all I could acquire.
00:19:14.140 --> 00:19:16.000
Do not break this, please.
00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:23.422
Kurt: He plays it and the super high, shrill sharp of the flute comes through.
00:19:22.822 --> 00:19:24.022
Flute octave plays of warming up instrument.
00:19:23.422 --> 00:19:26.120
Kurt: He goes dododododoup. His pitch and everything,
00:19:30.120 --> 00:19:32.000
it’s surprising. He’s like;
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:34.380
Prince Wilhelm (Kurt): Oh, thanks! Well I’m great at jamming
00:19:34.580 --> 00:19:38.880
so, well, I can just kind of vibe with you. Chuckles.
00:19:42.300 --> 00:19:43.840
I’ll just follow along.
00:19:44.560 --> 00:19:48.730
Kurt: You hear, out in the distance, Sil
00:19:48.730 --> 00:19:58.040
addresses the crowd. The rumbles come to a stop to listen to Sil's famous introductions.
00:19:58.680 --> 00:19:59.780
You hear;
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:03.620
Sil (Kurt, with a mircophone echo): Lords and ladies, scoundrels and sinners,
00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:07.000
sharpen your knives and raise your mugs.
00:20:07.380 --> 00:20:11.540
For tonight, the stage trembles with steel and sound.
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:14.600
From the shattered back alleys of Lowthorn,
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:17.140
from the graveyards of melody and murder,
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:20.880
I give you the scourge of silence itself,
00:20:21.360 --> 00:20:22.800
the Iron Strings!
00:20:22.330 --> 00:20:23.530
Crowd cheering
00:20:23.060 --> 00:20:29.020
Kurt: And everybody goes through as they start jamming on their lyres and lutes,
00:20:29.100 --> 00:20:32.020
and there's a guy who's like (makes drum roll effect) on the drum.
00:20:32.700 --> 00:20:33.567
He continues;
00:20:33.567 --> 00:20:36.800
Sil (Kurt, with a mircophone echo): On the war drum, the breaker of bones,
00:20:37.120 --> 00:20:39.353
the thunder that walks, Garruk! (Drum solo sounds)
00:20:41.020 --> 00:20:43.080
He goes into like little drum solo.
00:20:42.560 --> 00:20:43.760
Drum beat in background
00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:48.120
Kurt: Everybody starts cheering. Women are going crazy with over Garruk.
00:20:48.700 --> 00:20:51.540
He's, obviously, the drummers are the best in the band.
00:20:51.050 --> 00:20:52.250
Crowd cheering
00:20:51.760 --> 00:20:52.240
Kai: That's right.
00:20:53.060 --> 00:20:53.500
Kurt: Obviously.
00:20:54.820 --> 00:20:57.440
Sil (Kurt, with a microphone echo): Plucking death from the strings of a razor wire,
00:20:57.840 --> 00:21:00.560
the quiet shadow of a small, sharper than steel,
00:21:00.980 --> 00:21:01.800
Needle Nyssa!
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:03.720
Kurt: Like a fiddle starts like (brum bidi bidi brum of fiddle notes)
00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:09.900
going crazy. Sounds like these guys have the advantage here.
00:21:10.040 --> 00:21:11.060
This is the house band.
00:21:10.610 --> 00:21:11.810
Crowd cheering noises continue.
00:21:11.360 --> 00:21:13.260
Sil (Kurt, with a mircophone echo): From the depths of the infernal throat
00:21:13.460 --> 00:21:16.360
where song is sin and breath is battle.
00:21:16.940 --> 00:21:19.000
The voice that commands the armies,
00:21:19.580 --> 00:21:21.500
Veyra Shardvoice!
00:21:21.500 --> 00:21:27.660
Kurt: And you hear us, just this loud, shrill of a voice come in.
00:21:27.220 --> 00:21:28.420
Singer hits high note
00:21:27.980 --> 00:21:30.260
Sil (Kurt, with a mircophone echo): Blowing brass like cannon fire.
00:21:30.260 --> 00:21:33.760
The dome who shakes rafters and blinds the bold,
00:21:33.980 --> 00:21:35.380
Fennic DeBrass!
00:21:35.720 --> 00:21:40.200
Kurt: And you hear like a trumpet or like a bugle start going through.
00:21:40.340 --> 00:21:44.440
This is a heavy metal ska band is what it's going to be turning into here.
00:21:43.840 --> 00:21:45.040
Ska music picks up in background
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:44.730
Kevin: Nice!
00:21:44.730 --> 00:21:48.420
Kurt: Yeah, and then finally the last one.
00:21:48.420 --> 00:21:52.900
Sil (Kurt, with a mircophone echo): And sawing out dirges of your souls with bow and bone.
00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:57.520
The maestro of macabre, Dralith the Bonebowed!
00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:00.500
Kurt: You hear like a harp,
00:22:00.620 --> 00:22:02.260
like a lute or a hand harp just like (High pitched do do do do)
00:22:02.520 --> 00:22:05.900
just start going crazy. It's a- it's an odd cacophony,
00:22:06.140 --> 00:22:08.140
but it is metal sounding. (band music plays in background)
00:22:08.380 --> 00:22:11.100
It is hype. The crowd is loving it.
00:22:11.260 --> 00:22:14.980
The drums start (Doom di di dtch doom doom) going off.
00:22:14.980 --> 00:22:15.460
Band sounds of singer riffing, drums, ska trumpets, and more pick up in background.
00:22:15.460 --> 00:22:18.740
Kurt: And he kind of looks back towards your green room.
00:22:19.740 --> 00:22:20.900
He goes, and he's like;
00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:21.960
Sil (Kurt, whispering): Come on!
00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:32.740
Kevin: Zeph kind of pushes Kua and Beta Prince William up onto the stage in front of him
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:33.120
and
00:22:33.116 --> 00:22:35.240
kind of gestures for everyone else to to come up.
00:22:35.560 --> 00:22:38.480
Luke: And behind them I slip into the crowd while still disguised.
00:22:40.360 --> 00:22:41.040
Jenn: Oh!
00:22:41.380 --> 00:22:42.480
Geoff: Oh you dirty bastard.
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:43.320
Laughter
00:22:43.320 --> 00:22:45.760
Jenn: So once they all get on the stage,
00:22:46.340 --> 00:22:47.960
Seraphina gives it just a moment
00:22:49.060 --> 00:22:54.500
and then, unlike usual she actually walks out onto the stage.
00:22:54.560 --> 00:22:58.560
She's not flying. But it's a very slow, controlled walk
00:22:58.660 --> 00:23:01.600
and you guys see a change in her.
00:23:02.280 --> 00:23:06.168
So she has the whip that she used against
00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:10.260
the oozes in her hand,
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:14.360
and she strolls out and walks directly to the end of the stage,
00:23:14.600 --> 00:23:17.260
looks across at the other band
00:23:18.080 --> 00:23:19.740
and just cracks her whip.
00:23:19.980 --> 00:23:22.820
Kurt: You hear the crowd goes silent
00:23:23.120 --> 00:23:24.180
as people are looking at you
00:23:24.260 --> 00:23:25.100
and you hear;
00:23:25.100 --> 00:23:27.080
Crowd (Kurt): Seraphina? Seraphina’s back!
00:23:26.590 --> 00:23:27.790
Audience begins cheering.
00:23:27.300 --> 00:23:31.120
Kurt: And you hear like a slow roar of applause
00:23:31.420 --> 00:23:35.220
and, it's not as much as the Iron Strings-
00:23:35.140 --> 00:23:35.380
Jenn: Mmhmm
00:23:35.220 --> 00:23:37.300
Kurt: -but you are recognized.
00:23:37.300 --> 00:23:37.937
Jenn: Mmhmm.
00:23:37.937 --> 00:23:39.280
Kevin: Zeph steps up.
00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:42.740
Zeph (Kevin): Lords and ladies! You know her,
00:23:43.040 --> 00:23:45.780
you love her, she needs no introduction.
00:23:46.080 --> 00:23:47.020
I'm going to shut up
00:23:47.140 --> 00:23:48.780
so she can do her thing.
00:23:49.280 --> 00:23:51.120
Seraphina and the Warriors.
00:23:51.120 --> 00:23:53.120
Scattered applause, light string instrumentals begins building anticipation.
00:23:55.500 --> 00:23:58.260
Kurt: A few clapping. They don't…like;
00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:00.300
Crowd (Kurt): Seraphina and Warriors, do you know?
00:24:00.420 --> 00:24:02.180
Kurt: Like, it's like more, like…
00:24:02.633 --> 00:24:05.000
you know there are folks that are Seraphina fans
00:24:05.080 --> 00:24:10.680
that are cheering. But, this battle ballad
00:24:11.780 --> 00:24:14.400
starts to ensue. You see that the
00:24:14.813 --> 00:24:19.000
Iron Strings sits back, stops. Sil
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:19.560
looks like, goes;
00:24:19.660 --> 00:24:22.840
Sil (Kurt): All right now, Seraphina and the Warriors,
00:24:23.080 --> 00:24:23.620
you're up!
00:24:23.620 --> 00:24:25.360
Light crowd applause and cheers.
00:24:25.360 --> 00:24:27.500
Kurt: If you want to act this out,
00:24:27.740 --> 00:24:30.860
you know, we definitely, I would absolutely love it,
00:24:30.900 --> 00:24:31.460
but we can…
00:24:32.220 --> 00:24:36.320
Kevin: I don't know if I want to chase away our audience this early on.
00:24:36.320 --> 00:24:38.320
Laughter
00:24:38.660 --> 00:24:42.580
Kurt: Yeah, okay. But if you want to narratively describe what you do.
00:24:42.700 --> 00:24:46.660
But first off, whoever is in the band at the moment.
00:24:48.540 --> 00:24:54.580
Severian, you are being escorted down to the fighting ring by one of the attendees here.
00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:57.860
But who is actively performing?
00:24:57.860 --> 00:24:59.220
Geoff: Kua.
00:24:59.220 --> 00:25:00.020
Kurt: The four of you?
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:01.646
John: I mean, I am on the stage… As a
00:25:01.646 --> 00:25:01.886
dog.
00:25:01.646 --> 00:25:02.520
Kurt: So the four of you.
00:25:03.020 --> 00:25:03.380
Luke: And Wilhelm.
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:04.060
Jenn: And Wilhelm!
00:25:04.140 --> 00:25:04.880
Kurt: And Wilhelm haha.
00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:05.840
Geoff: The five of us.
00:25:05.840 --> 00:25:06.920
Jenn: Don't forget Willie.
00:25:07.340 --> 00:25:07.580
Kevin: And Manny.
00:25:07.493 --> 00:25:07.800
Kurt: Don’t forget Manny.
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:10.160
Jenn: Oh, yeah. Well, Manny's still just perched on my shoulder.
00:25:10.600 --> 00:25:12.091
Kurt: It's kind of like a weird
00:25:13.720 --> 00:25:14.580
size chart.
00:25:13.980 --> 00:25:15.180
Laughter
00:25:14.580 --> 00:25:21.440
Jenn: Mmhmm. Well, and I would say when we were in the back room,
00:25:21.800 --> 00:25:24.087
she would ask Manny, you
00:25:24.087 --> 00:25:27.200
know, like, did, Like, so what's your thing, Manny?
00:25:27.380 --> 00:25:28.960
Like, what, you know, like,
00:25:29.260 --> 00:25:31.180
your a Prince, what else do you do?
00:25:31.580 --> 00:25:35.560
Manny (Kurt): Oh, I don't really have any musical skills.
00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:38.880
But I can, I can make noises
00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:42.800
with, uh, with my, with my legs? Um,
00:25:42.800 --> 00:25:46.140
yeah, that's, unfortunately, they don't really make instruments at
00:25:46.140 --> 00:25:46.580
my size.
00:25:47.080 --> 00:25:48.460
Seraphina (Jenn): I mean, you could use your legs.
00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:52.540
Do you, uh, have any affinity with Lumara? Jenn:
00:25:52.540 --> 00:25:53.520
Lumara? Lumora?
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:55.820
Kurt: Yeah, Lumora.
00:25:56.120 --> 00:25:56.500
Jenn: Lumora.
00:25:57.240 --> 00:25:59.820
Kurt: Lumora is the magic energy
00:26:00.060 --> 00:26:02.460
around everybody that you guys can tap into.
00:26:04.320 --> 00:26:07.000
Manny (Kurt): Well, I can't really wield it
00:26:07.060 --> 00:26:08.260
like I've seen you guys.
00:26:09.380 --> 00:26:11.460
But, yeah, I've dabbled.
00:26:12.100 --> 00:26:13.800
Seraphina (Jenn): Well, if you know how to make
00:26:14.980 --> 00:26:18.160
little light sparkles or anything like that,
00:26:18.260 --> 00:26:18.800
feel free.
00:26:19.520 --> 00:26:20.840
Manny (Kurt): I think I could make something work.
00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:21.480
Seraphina (Jenn): Okay.
00:26:22.620 --> 00:26:24.640
Jenn: So since we're going first,
00:26:24.980 --> 00:26:25.740
I am...
00:26:25.900 --> 00:26:27.720
Geoff: Before you start, I have a question.
00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:28.200
Jenn: Okay.
00:26:28.860 --> 00:26:30.560
Geoff: How far across is it
00:26:30.560 --> 00:26:32.700
between the two stages? Would you say it's close?
00:26:32.620 --> 00:26:35.380
Kurt: So you're on other sides.
00:26:35.820 --> 00:26:37.820
So that is far.
00:26:38.340 --> 00:26:39.800
Geoff: Far range, okay, yeah, thank you.
00:26:40.220 --> 00:26:40.960
Kurt: Yeah, so.
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:42.460
Geoff: It ruins my plan, but answers my question. Chuckles
00:26:42.460 --> 00:26:43.590
Kurt: Yeah, so I know I
00:26:44.433 --> 00:26:46.820
have a battle map sitting out there
00:26:46.820 --> 00:26:48.440
with that for the fighting arena,
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:51.180
but we have to do our best
00:26:51.180 --> 00:26:53.260
to actively describe what we are doing
00:26:53.260 --> 00:26:54.680
for the listeners, because obviously
00:26:54.800 --> 00:26:56.860
the listeners can't see the map,
00:26:56.980 --> 00:26:58.860
that I have a battle map
00:26:58.940 --> 00:27:00.000
in the center of the table
00:27:00.100 --> 00:27:00.920
that is going to be
00:27:02.520 --> 00:27:03.260
depicting where….
00:27:03.352 --> 00:27:03.720
Geoff: Don't let Kurt lie to you,
00:27:03.800 --> 00:27:06.060
check our social media. We'll have some pictures up,
00:27:06.280 --> 00:27:07.400
and you can keep up on the episode.
00:27:07.540 --> 00:27:08.640
Kurt: Yep. There you go.
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:10.600
Chuckles
00:27:10.600 --> 00:27:13.640
Kurt: Okay. Seraphina and the Warriors.
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:15.600
Let's hear it. What you got?
00:27:15.600 --> 00:27:16.760
Audience cheering
00:27:16.760 --> 00:27:20.080
Jenn: So I will roll for my
00:27:20.320 --> 00:27:23.960
performance, basically. I'm going to sing…
00:27:24.520 --> 00:27:26.620
It's a song that she
00:27:26.940 --> 00:27:28.940
has written, like, in the past.
00:27:29.140 --> 00:27:32.460
But she's going to update it a little bit
00:27:32.520 --> 00:27:35.460
as she's going and kind of change
00:27:35.600 --> 00:27:37.120
a few lyrics here and there
00:27:37.500 --> 00:27:40.980
and, she's not rapping, but she's going full rap battle
00:27:41.300 --> 00:27:44.920
and talking shit about the other band.
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:45.840
Laughter
00:27:45.840 --> 00:27:47.640
Kurt: Okay, all right.
00:27:47.700 --> 00:27:49.340
Jenn: So I'm going to spend a hope.
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:50.540
Now I have a question,
00:27:50.900 --> 00:27:53.480
with your experiences can you only use
00:27:53.780 --> 00:27:56.700
one on a roll or can you use both?
00:27:57.300 --> 00:27:58.200
Kurt: As long as you have
00:27:58.300 --> 00:28:00.300
hope to spend, you can use as many as you can….
00:28:00.580 --> 00:28:02.020
as many as makes sense.
00:28:02.500 --> 00:28:03.880
Jenn: Okay, well, I mean, we only have two,
00:28:04.040 --> 00:28:05.980
but actually kind of both of them
00:28:05.980 --> 00:28:08.820
would fit. So her first experience
00:28:09.340 --> 00:28:12.020
is Femme Fatal. So like I said,
00:28:12.120 --> 00:28:14.020
she tightened up her corset.
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:17.240
She, you know, fixed herself up,
00:28:17.340 --> 00:28:19.760
so she's full cupcake mode
00:28:19.840 --> 00:28:21.620
at this point. And the other experience
00:28:21.840 --> 00:28:22.940
is Silver-Tongued.
00:28:23.320 --> 00:28:26.260
Kurt: Okay. Yeah. Well, yeah, I think that works.
00:28:26.660 --> 00:28:27.980
So go ahead and spend your two hope.
00:28:28.280 --> 00:28:28.600
Jenn: Yep.
00:28:28.600 --> 00:28:30.440
Luke: Can I also spend a hope
00:28:30.600 --> 00:28:31.660
to help from the crowd
00:28:31.740 --> 00:28:33.180
by getting them kind of riled up,
00:28:33.280 --> 00:28:34.680
stamping my feet, and just like,
00:28:35.140 --> 00:28:37.080
kind of working to get them
00:28:37.140 --> 00:28:39.720
at least somewhat energetic for this performance?
00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:41.300
Kurt: Okay. Well, before you do,
00:28:41.340 --> 00:28:43.220
I want you to make a presence check
00:28:43.300 --> 00:28:44.460
to see how well this works
00:28:44.460 --> 00:28:46.420
before you can spend a hope
00:28:46.520 --> 00:28:47.280
to help her out.
00:28:48.580 --> 00:28:50.360
Luke: That's a 10 with fear.
00:28:50.860 --> 00:28:51.700
Kurt: I'm going to say that
00:28:51.860 --> 00:28:54.060
you try to gather the troops,
00:28:54.320 --> 00:28:57.260
gather the attention, and try to
00:28:57.400 --> 00:29:00.160
get them roused up to cheer for
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:03.620
Seraphina and the Warriors. But it just,
00:29:04.560 --> 00:29:06.020
nothing happens out of it.
00:29:06.800 --> 00:29:07.880
Luke: I'm not trying to get them to cheer
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:09.900
just to, like, as she begins
00:29:10.020 --> 00:29:10.920
to kind of stamp along
00:29:11.040 --> 00:29:12.760
just to get like a rhythm going.
00:29:12.760 --> 00:29:14.800
Kurt: Ok, yeah, you feel like people are just
00:29:15.540 --> 00:29:18.000
clapping along just for the sake of it,
00:29:18.140 --> 00:29:19.840
just the end. They hear you doing it
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:20.240
and said like;
00:29:20.340 --> 00:29:22.320
Crowd (Kurt): Oh, are we supposed to be doing that?
00:29:22.320 --> 00:29:22.640
Luke: Better than nothing.
00:29:22.940 --> 00:29:24.840
Kurt: But it's not like, it's not
00:29:26.300 --> 00:29:29.940
genuine cheering. But you can
00:29:30.600 --> 00:29:32.180
get advantage or I think
00:29:32.340 --> 00:29:33.340
you roll your D6.
00:29:33.340 --> 00:29:36.860
Luke: I roll to help.
00:29:36.860 --> 00:29:38.300
Jenn: So 19 with hope.
00:29:38.420 --> 00:29:38.860
Luke: Plus five.
00:29:39.360 --> 00:29:40.640
Kurt: Plus five with hope.
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:42.220
Jenn: That would be 24?
00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:42.880
Kevin: Yeah.
00:29:42.900 --> 00:29:44.080
Jenn: Yeah, 24 with hope.
00:29:44.080 --> 00:29:47.380
Kurt: Okay. What is, what's everybody else doing in the band here?
00:29:48.300 --> 00:29:50.140
Kevin: I think if she's going like
00:29:50.980 --> 00:29:54.440
epic, like rap battle, dissing the other band,
00:29:54.940 --> 00:29:57.640
I think Zeph will be back in the background,
00:29:58.020 --> 00:30:00.480
like hype-manning her up. Like ‘Ooohhhh!’
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:02.475
Jenn: Bouncing and stuff!
00:30:02.475 --> 00:30:05.060
Kevin: I'm like trying to hype everything up.
00:30:05.060 --> 00:30:06.080
Kurt: Yep.
00:30:06.080 --> 00:30:10.020
Geoff: I'm gonna turn this into a multi-dimensional performance here.
00:30:10.280 --> 00:30:11.980
Kua is going to jump up into,
00:30:12.080 --> 00:30:14.560
I assume there's some rafters or something similar?
00:30:15.060 --> 00:30:15.320
Kurt: Yeah.
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:18.640
Geoff: And I'm just going to start pounding on the ceiling,
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:20.800
pounding on the rafters in time,
00:30:20.960 --> 00:30:23.080
trying to like shift the attention around
00:30:23.140 --> 00:30:24.740
make people look at different things
00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:27.320
and try and get the audience.
00:30:27.320 --> 00:30:28.440
Kurt: The offsets, nice nice.
00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:29.940
Drumming in the background.
00:30:29.940 --> 00:30:30.680
Kurt: Yeah, sweet.
00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:32.280
Jenn: Ok, alright.
00:30:32.540 --> 00:30:35.220
Kurt: What’s the puppy dog doing over there?
00:30:35.500 --> 00:30:35.960
Geoff: Pup dog!
00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:38.000
John: I’m currently wearing the hat.
00:30:38.220 --> 00:30:43.960
I imagine it’s like a very old, stained, like semi-tall top hat.
00:30:44.760 --> 00:30:46.580
Just kind of cocked to the side,
00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:50.660
and what I’m doing is
00:30:50.800 --> 00:30:52.300
as soon as they start going,
00:30:52.300 --> 00:30:55.180
and I'm kind of like thumping my tail to the beat,
00:30:55.320 --> 00:30:57.502
I notice that as soon as you take off it
00:30:57.800 --> 00:31:02.420
up towards the ceiling, I think this is my cue to leave the stage.
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:05.120
And I'm going to spend a stress.
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:08.880
It's almost looks like my fur is shedding,
00:31:09.500 --> 00:31:12.240
as like a husky would kind of just like start,
00:31:12.940 --> 00:31:15.680
like they're just walking, and fur is just kind of coming off.
00:31:16.180 --> 00:31:18.520
As I embody the element of air,
00:31:18.760 --> 00:31:20.320
I'm going to hop off the stage
00:31:20.320 --> 00:31:23.680
and just kind of like jump around tables.
00:31:23.860 --> 00:31:25.540
And like not even land on the tables,
00:31:25.540 --> 00:31:26.640
just kind of like hop around
00:31:26.820 --> 00:31:30.080
and like to the beat of the music.
00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:31.160
Kurt: Okay.
00:31:31.240 --> 00:31:32.940
John: And like hop around and just kind of like,
00:31:33.300 --> 00:31:34.320
I don't know, do something.
00:31:34.833 --> 00:31:37.360
Geoff: And dance and like, put your paw up.
00:31:36.830 --> 00:31:38.030
Laughter
00:31:37.500 --> 00:31:37.740
John: Yeah.
00:31:39.800 --> 00:31:43.500
Kurt: Okay. Sweet. Yeah, so this song goes off,
00:31:43.760 --> 00:31:47.960
and it doesn't take long before the crowd starts,
00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:50.840
like, you hear them stomping.
00:31:50.840 --> 00:31:56.700
And with the help of… the assistance of Pi N'kuwa up in the rafters,
00:31:56.960 --> 00:31:59.120
and Basagar, your jump on the tables,
00:31:59.660 --> 00:32:04.140
and Ciaran, you are kind of, like, slowly just egging them on from the background.
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:08.320
You have our B-Real hype man.
00:32:08.320 --> 00:32:09.380
Chuckles.
00:32:09.380 --> 00:32:10.720
Kai: You didn't get Wilhelm yet.
00:32:10.940 --> 00:32:11.500
Kurt: Yeah, um no.
00:32:11.500 --> 00:32:12.980
Luke: I want to see him riffing on the-
00:32:13.300 --> 00:32:15.260
Kurt: Yeah, Wilhelm kind of like steps up
00:32:15.340 --> 00:32:16.940
and he like looks and he
00:32:18.067 --> 00:32:20.360
really kind of takes in what's going on.
00:32:20.420 --> 00:32:21.300
And you see him like,
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:24.540
ooh, his shoulders drop a little bit,
00:32:24.940 --> 00:32:27.100
but he… you know what?
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:28.340
Let's see what he's going to do.
00:32:28.340 --> 00:32:30.340
Laughter
00:32:30.840 --> 00:32:35.080
Kurt: Okay, it wasn't terrible. He's got some nerves to shake out here a little bit
00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:37.720
but he goes. He kind of waits for it
00:32:37.760 --> 00:32:39.560
and he's kind of like waiting for the right moment to
00:32:39.700 --> 00:32:42.260
to start playing his pickle flute.
00:32:42.800 --> 00:32:44.460
And he like goes through,
00:32:44.540 --> 00:32:44.780
he's like;
00:32:44.740 --> 00:32:47.340
Wilhelm (Kurt): This really isn't the right vibe for… um,
00:32:47.340 --> 00:32:47.740
whatever!
00:32:47.340 --> 00:32:48.420
High airy notes start playing
00:32:47.900 --> 00:32:49.540
Kurt: And he goes, like, blows into it hit
00:32:49.540 --> 00:32:51.740
the first time. And the first notes kind of sharp
00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:53.500
and he goes, then he kind of dresses it down
00:32:53.580 --> 00:32:56.500
as everybody's like ‘Ewahuh!’. But he finally gets into his rhythm
00:32:56.620 --> 00:32:57.920
and starts, like, going into
00:32:59.780 --> 00:33:02.440
a nice little pickle accompaniment
00:33:03.760 --> 00:33:05.840
to a freestyle rap battle,
00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:08.240
since that's the only instrument
00:33:08.840 --> 00:33:11.320
is a pickle at the moment (chuckles)
00:33:11.320 --> 00:33:13.460
and beats. Pickle and beats!
00:33:13.740 --> 00:33:14.280
Kevin: Pickle and beats.
00:33:15.080 --> 00:33:15.840
Geoff: Pickle and beats!
00:33:15.340 --> 00:33:16.540
Laughter
00:33:16.040 --> 00:33:17.695
Kurt (slower): Pickle and beats. Hold on. That might be
00:33:17.695 --> 00:33:17.935
the-
00:33:17.695 --> 00:33:18.192
Kevin: That sounds like a fine little
00:33:18.192 --> 00:33:18.432
salad.
00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:20.160
Kurt: That might be the episode.
00:33:22.500 --> 00:33:24.260
Luke: Pickle and beats.
00:33:24.260 --> 00:33:29.060
Jenn: Pickle and beats!
00:33:28.460 --> 00:33:29.660
Laughter
00:33:29.060 --> 00:33:30.000
Kai: Thank you for that.
00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:33.440
Kurt: Overall, an incredible success for your first song.
00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:36.220
The Iron Strings over there
00:33:36.320 --> 00:33:37.920
are kind of like, they're nodding
00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:38.740
a little bit and they're
00:33:38.995 --> 00:33:40.140
kind of like… you can see them like
00:33:40.220 --> 00:33:41.600
whispering back and forth and
00:33:43.600 --> 00:33:45.160
they got, as soon as the
00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:47.200
sounds sounds like your song is like
00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:48.900
coming to an end. They interrupt you
00:33:48.980 --> 00:33:51.340
by a loud opening power chord (Brumm).
00:33:51.340 --> 00:33:52.500
Electric guitar chord sounds
00:33:52.500 --> 00:33:54.460
Kurt: Which drowns out, and everybody instantly (Rahhh!!)-
00:33:54.460 --> 00:33:55.920
Crowd cheering
00:33:55.920 --> 00:33:58.360
Kurt: -starts going crazy. As they are
00:33:58.840 --> 00:34:01.020
strumming, they're playing.
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:02.040
Electric guitar riff of chords begins, attempting to be rhythmic, but is off beat with stomping from crowd
00:34:01.260 --> 00:34:02.560
You see like some of them are
00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:05.360
going through and looking at each other
00:34:05.360 --> 00:34:07.620
as they… as most of the
00:34:07.840 --> 00:34:11.160
people are still like stomping to the beat
00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:13.160
of your song and it's kind of like
00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:14.600
throwing them out of rhythm
00:34:14.600 --> 00:34:16.940
a little bit, where they start to….
00:34:17.600 --> 00:34:19.820
you see them look around
00:34:20.180 --> 00:34:22.180
as they are getting a little
00:34:22.900 --> 00:34:23.900
frustrated and flustered.
00:34:23.900 --> 00:34:24.380
Guitar stops, just stomping continues
00:34:24.380 --> 00:34:27.500
Kurt: They eventually start… you…. they start
00:34:27.780 --> 00:34:29.500
going through and when the crowd
00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:32.620
doesn't feel it you start to hear some boo’s
00:34:32.860 --> 00:34:33.360
a little bit.
00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:33.780
Crowd booing, Zeph and Ciaran chiming in as well.
00:34:33.780 --> 00:34:40.520
Kurt: Yeah. As everybody starts, like
00:34:40.940 --> 00:34:45.500
stomping, Sera - phina, Sera - phina, **Sera—
00:34:44.900 --> 00:34:46.100
Chant the each part of her name in time with stomps.
00:34:45.500 --> 00:34:50.500
Kurt: They start going through. As you see Sil
00:34:50.500 --> 00:34:51.660
walks out into the middle
00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:52.720
of the fighting ring and
00:34:52.720 --> 00:34:52.960
goes;
00:34:54.580 --> 00:34:56.740
Sil (Kurt, megaphone): All right, all right, calm down,
00:34:56.820 --> 00:34:58.600
calm down, everybody. That was a great
00:34:58.600 --> 00:35:01.560
opening set of numbers from
00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:04.020
Seraphina and the Warriors and the Iron Strings,
00:35:04.080 --> 00:35:05.220
everybody give them a hand!
00:35:04.710 --> 00:35:05.910
Crowd cheering and applause
00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:07.840
Kurt: And everyone starts clapping and hooting
00:35:08.020 --> 00:35:10.360
and hollering. There's plenty of names
00:35:10.560 --> 00:35:13.580
start shouting Seraphina and the Warriors.
00:35:13.820 --> 00:35:14.060
He's like;
00:35:14.080 --> 00:35:20.340
Sil (Kurt, echoing like a megaphone): Now, without further ado, let me introduce you to your entertainment
00:35:20.640 --> 00:35:22.140
down on the ground floor.
00:35:22.680 --> 00:35:25.364
Gather around, you Gutterborn, Highborn,
00:35:25.364 --> 00:35:27.860
and Halfborn. The Rusted Piper rings
00:35:28.080 --> 00:35:29.420
not only with song tonight,
00:35:29.640 --> 00:35:31.400
but with steel and screams.
00:35:32.860 --> 00:35:34.340
Two troops, I mean, no,
00:35:34.520 --> 00:35:37.160
I'm sorry, three troops enter the pit,
00:35:37.520 --> 00:35:38.940
but only one walks out
00:35:38.940 --> 00:35:41.520
to drink tomorrow's ale. First,
00:35:42.780 --> 00:35:45.480
hoping…. mm I reading this right?
00:35:45.720 --> 00:35:51.620
Hoping? Hopping?! Oh. Hopping from the swamps of the sorrow and slick,
00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:53.760
the stink of the blood and the bog water.
00:35:54.080 --> 00:35:55.940
They leap, they croak, and they kill.
00:35:56.380 --> 00:35:58.720
Give it up for the croaking crushers
00:35:58.980 --> 00:36:00.620
and the rib cracking raiders.
00:36:01.180 --> 00:36:04.320
The swamp spawn storm. The Ribbets!
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:05.820
Crowd cheers
00:36:05.820 --> 00:36:08.420
Kurt: Apply named, as you hear the crowd;
00:36:09.160 --> 00:36:12.480
Crowd Chants (Kurt): Rib-bits, Rib-bits, Rib-!
00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:13.720
Kai: Frog legs for dinner.
00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:16.380
John: Severian’s totally eating.
00:36:17.340 --> 00:36:21.280
Kurt: Some frog folk jump out,
00:36:21.700 --> 00:36:25.280
kind of get, come through the entrance to the fighting ring here.
00:36:26.660 --> 00:36:27.220
I don’t know, is this-?
00:36:27.360 --> 00:36:27.680
Geoff: That's me.
00:36:27.680 --> 00:36:29.400
Kurt: So you need to be on stage.
00:36:29.540 --> 00:36:33.340
So the stage is kind of like raised on the other side of this platform.
00:36:33.520 --> 00:36:34.800
Geoff: I'm like up in the rafters.
00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:35.900
Kurt: Yeah, you're up in the rafters.
00:36:37.060 --> 00:36:38.920
Jenn: Yeah someone’s totally going to eat frog.
00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:41.480
Kurt: I know I was way off mic when I did that.
00:36:41.560 --> 00:36:42.780
So sorry if you couldn't hear me.
00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:44.400
I should be picked up by somebody.
00:36:45.100 --> 00:36:48.360
But the Ribbits start coming through.
00:36:48.520 --> 00:36:50.440
There's, looks like there's he's like;
00:36:50.520 --> 00:36:54.120
Sil (Kurt, echoing like a megaphone): And now let me introduce our fellow contestants,
00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:58.880
our challengers. These are …uh….
00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:01.900
Kurt: He starts flipping through some of his notes.
00:37:02.600 --> 00:37:05.160
Sil (Kurt, echoing like a megaphone): I don't have a, I don't have an introduction for you.
00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:06.520
What do you want to call yourselves?
00:37:06.820 --> 00:37:09.140
Kurt: And like a timid voice kind of come
00:37:09.300 --> 00:37:10.780
like kind of like peeks out the door,
00:37:11.180 --> 00:37:11.660
he goes;
00:37:11.780 --> 00:37:14.220
NPC Character (Kurt, stage whispering): I didn’t know we were supposed to have an introduction,
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:17.180
I’m sorry! Uh, I don’t know!
00:37:17.380 --> 00:37:18.380
Just call me anything!
00:37:19.720 --> 00:37:21.880
Kurt: What is the challengers name?
00:37:22.120 --> 00:37:23.180
You guys get to pick it.
00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:23.760
Kai: Anything.
00:37:24.200 --> 00:37:24.540
Kurt: Anything?
00:37:24.200 --> 00:37:25.140
Laughter
00:37:24.540 --> 00:37:28.380
Kurt: Thank you. Sil goes;
00:37:28.680 --> 00:37:31.320
Sil (Kurt, echoing like a megaphone): Alright, for tonight, for tonight,
00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:33.600
they, um, they are an enigma.
00:37:33.820 --> 00:37:35.660
They are unknown. Their, their,
00:37:35.860 --> 00:37:39.100
their talents, uh, are a mystery to us all. Uh,
00:37:39.100 --> 00:37:42.060
they don't want to let anybody know what they do. Uh,
00:37:42.060 --> 00:37:43.947
here is Anything! (Connection bell
00:37:43.947 --> 00:37:44.280
dings)
00:37:44.280 --> 00:37:44.780
And it goes;
00:37:44.900 --> 00:37:46.680
Anything (Kurt, whispering): No, no, no! Ugh.
00:37:46.680 --> 00:37:50.640
John: I feel like they are Galapos.
00:37:50.640 --> 00:37:51.180
Drum beats
00:37:51.180 --> 00:37:55.380
Kurt: They're Galapos? Yeah. They are
00:37:55.380 --> 00:37:56.260
four turtles.
00:37:56.260 --> 00:37:58.260
Laughter
00:37:59.500 --> 00:38:01.740
They kind of like roll out into their shell
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:03.280
and they kind of like get into place
00:38:03.460 --> 00:38:05.680
and they're stop and get into different poses.
00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:08.640
What weapons are they holding?
00:38:09.040 --> 00:38:11.620
Kevin: Oh, you've got to have a bo staff!
00:38:11.620 --> 00:38:13.420
Others: Nunchucks!
00:38:12.820 --> 00:38:14.020
Laughter
00:38:13.420 --> 00:38:14.467
Jenn: Yeah.
00:38:14.467 --> 00:38:16.920
Kevin: Pair of sai, right?
00:38:16.920 --> 00:38:20.840
Jenn: No, 100%. They're all wearing colorful masks too, right?
00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:22.160
Because they're enigmas.
00:38:22.340 --> 00:38:23.020
Kevin: They're enigmas!
00:38:23.020 --> 00:38:25.840
Kai: We did just have ooze in the sewer.
00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:27.840
Laughter
00:38:33.880 --> 00:38:34.632
Kai: You know?
00:38:34.256 --> 00:38:34.496
Jenn: That's true.
00:38:34.444 --> 00:38:34.820
Kurt: (Chuckles and sighs) Oh.
00:38:34.632 --> 00:38:37.640
Kevin: You know, Severian kind of resembles Shredder a little bit.
00:38:37.640 --> 00:38:40.640
Kai: Oh, it's true. I was about to ask if there's a rat.
00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:42.660
Kurt: There is a rat. It's Meesta. It's your rat.
00:38:42.660 --> 00:38:44.860
John: Meesta is still here. Don't worry.
00:38:44.940 --> 00:38:45.520
He's still here.
00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:47.520
Geoff: He's just munching away on-
00:38:47.520 --> 00:38:49.280
Drumming picks up
00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:52.680
Kurt: But yeah, so the Anything sets up.
00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:54.380
They start getting ready for battle.
00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:55.445
He goes;
00:38:55.445 --> 00:38:56.900
Sil (Kurt, echoing like a megaphone): Oh, but that's not all, folks.
00:38:56.960 --> 00:38:59.320
We got a surprise mystery for you.
00:38:59.620 --> 00:39:04.500
A last second guest. He is part of the Seraphina and the Warriors,
00:39:05.040 --> 00:39:08.140
chosen to step here and do battle amongst the music.
00:39:08.580 --> 00:39:12.707
Welcome to the stage… shit I don't even think I got
00:39:12.707 --> 00:39:15.280
his name…um introduce yourself!
00:39:15.460 --> 00:39:16.340
Kai: The human spider
00:39:16.580 --> 00:39:17.420
Sil (Kurt, echoing like a megaphone): The Human Sp-
00:39:17.420 --> 00:39:19.340
Kai: Not really…. remember that from Spider Man 1?
00:39:19.500 --> 00:39:19.920
Kurt: Yeah I do.
00:39:19.500 --> 00:39:20.520
Laughter
00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:22.620
Kurt: I was rolling with it.
00:39:23.580 --> 00:39:24.677
Kai: It's like the lamest name ever.
00:39:24.677 --> 00:39:26.580
Kurt: It’s like what- human spider?
00:39:26.580 --> 00:39:29.900
Kai: Yeah! Ok, but…. Severian the Briar Warrior.
00:39:31.040 --> 00:39:33.540
Sil (Kurt, echoing like a megaphone): Severian the Briar Warrior!
00:39:34.593 --> 00:39:35.993
Kurt: You walk out and everybody goes-
00:39:35.393 --> 00:39:36.593
Crowd Gasps
00:39:35.993 --> 00:39:36.460
Kurt: ‘Oh, shit!’
00:39:36.460 --> 00:39:37.740
Kai: Everyone’s like ‘He’s scary as fuck’.
00:39:37.740 --> 00:39:41.320
Geoff: As he finishes his sentence, I want to bang on the ceiling again.
00:39:41.400 --> 00:39:42.820
Try and pick up a rhythm again.
00:39:42.820 --> 00:39:43.344
Kurt: Yeah, (Do dodo do dodo do
00:39:43.344 --> 00:39:43.780
dodo do dodo ch ch)
00:39:43.344 --> 00:39:44.380
Drumming in background
00:39:43.780 --> 00:39:45.500
Kurt: As it goes through.
00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:52.690
John: As Severian is being introduced, I'm going to do a wild touch and perform a slight gust of wind to make
00:39:52.690 --> 00:39:53.520
his cape billow.
00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:54.120
Laughter
00:39:53.520 --> 00:39:54.680
Kai: I do have a big, yeah.
00:39:55.540 --> 00:40:02.200
John: As I like hop over. I just kind of hop over the pit and jump across to the other side
00:40:03.520 --> 00:40:08.120
and like just like a little wind just go whip, bellows his cape.
00:40:08.300 --> 00:40:16.465
Kurt: Okay so, Severian if you want to put your mini on the battlefield where you would like to, you have the
00:40:16.465 --> 00:40:18.740
Anything group on the other side,
00:40:18.740 --> 00:40:25.720
the four Galapas turtles, on one side. Each ready with their chosen weapons of choice.
00:40:26.240 --> 00:40:34.260
And the Ribbits, so aptly named, on the other side. In the middle, in the fray, is Severian.
00:40:34.900 --> 00:40:37.959
You guys are up for the next song. Sil
00:40:37.959 --> 00:40:43.929
looks at you as he starts… as he makes his way over to the rope ladder leaning over the the wall
00:40:43.929 --> 00:40:45.720
going down into the sunken pit.
00:40:46.260 --> 00:40:49.460
Sil (Kurt, echoing like a megaphone): Seraphina and the Warriors, you're next with your tune.
00:40:50.020 --> 00:40:55.140
As soon as-your first drum will enact the start of this fight.
00:40:55.140 --> 00:40:59.520
Kurt: And he goes and he starts climbing up out of the pit.
00:41:00.820 --> 00:41:06.560
Jenn: Alright. So I'm going to use a Troubadour song for this one.
00:41:07.220 --> 00:41:12.900
So I'm going to do an epic song, which I can also make a target temporarily vulnerable.
00:41:13.400 --> 00:41:14.880
I'm going to hit their singer.
00:41:14.880 --> 00:41:17.620
All: Woah! Oh!
00:41:17.620 --> 00:41:19.440
Kurt: Okay, what does this look like?
00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:32.276
Jenn: So this epic song, she sings about battle and about warriors clashing and the sounds of war and the, you know,
00:41:32.276 --> 00:41:34.660
just this like epic.
00:41:34.660 --> 00:41:35.080
Seraphina’s light singing of a melody plays in the background
00:41:35.080 --> 00:41:39.140
Jenn: And like her voice just fills this whole room.
00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:46.280
It's just you guys can almost hear like the stone walls rattling as she hits some of these notes.
00:41:46.920 --> 00:41:48.420
Yeah, so I'm going to do that.
00:41:48.420 --> 00:41:58.795
Geoff: And I, as a help action, as you go to start off, do just like (do do of Kua stomping on rafters) and jump out of the
00:41:58.795 --> 00:42:01.700
rafters in front of the Iron Strings.
00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:02.280
Kurt: Mmhmm.
00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:05.118
Geoff: And just slam down on the ground for a (crash)
00:42:06.380 --> 00:42:07.540
right before you start.
00:42:07.540 --> 00:42:07.800
Kurt: Okay!
00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:14.402
Kevin: I was going to say and this time around instead of hyping up, I think Zeph also is going to spend
00:42:14.402 --> 00:42:17.480
a hope for advantage so it'll be the better of our two roles.
00:42:18.260 --> 00:42:22.160
This time he's going to drop back off stage-
00:42:22.160 --> 00:42:22.580
Kurt: Mmhmm.
00:42:22.580 --> 00:42:25.780
Kevin: -so that he is hidden from the crowd.
00:42:25.940 --> 00:42:29.120
He's going to draw Elyndra
00:42:30.300 --> 00:42:40.701
and as the song begins to crescendo and as she begins to invoke this feeling of battle, he's going to begin
00:42:40.701 --> 00:42:47.140
slashing and creating a light show above the stage with the sword slashes.
00:42:47.400 --> 00:42:47.700
Jenn: Okay.
00:42:48.940 --> 00:42:49.340
Kurt: Yeah.
00:42:49.540 --> 00:42:55.760
Jenn: So I am going to use one more hope to use my Silver-Tongued experience again.
00:42:55.760 --> 00:42:56.260
Kurt: Sweet!
00:42:56.260 --> 00:42:58.415
Jenn: All right, so if you guys want to roll your d6, I'm going
00:42:58.415 --> 00:43:01.020
to… Dang that was almost a crit!
00:43:01.380 --> 00:43:03.660
So 27, unfortunately with fear
00:43:03.920 --> 00:43:06.000
by like one point. It was a six and a seven.
00:43:08.400 --> 00:43:11.848
And that also mean their singer in vulnerable.
00:43:11.848 --> 00:43:20.060
Kurt: Vulnerable, yeah. The song that you sing and Wilhelm is still falling into the rhythm. It
00:43:20.060 --> 00:43:23.300
looks like his nervousness, his anxiety has passed.
00:43:23.400 --> 00:43:24.580
He's getting into it.
00:43:23.990 --> 00:43:25.190
Piccolo melodies begin
00:43:24.600 --> 00:43:29.740
He's like walking up with you kind of leaning onto your shoulder and like playing the pickle
00:43:29.740 --> 00:43:38.260
and as you sing, as the lights are flashing around from Elyndra and the beats and the intimidation from N’kuwa. What
00:43:38.260 --> 00:43:41.100
are you doing for this second performance
00:43:41.900 --> 00:43:42.500
Basagar?
00:43:42.620 --> 00:43:48.560
John: I think as I land from jumping across the pit, I'm walking around as a dog,
00:43:48.980 --> 00:43:56.640
and I think what happens is Basagar, would you say there’s candlelit stuff all across?
00:43:56.640 --> 00:43:57.418
Kurt: Oh yeah, yep.
00:43:57.418 --> 00:44:03.260
John: I think what Basagar is going to do is as he jumps down, he's going to walk around for a moment,
00:44:03.540 --> 00:44:11.281
and the fire is going, like, kind of like a mix of wild touch is, it says that I can instantly
00:44:11.281 --> 00:44:14.800
start a campfire or stuff, you know, something like that.
00:44:14.800 --> 00:44:19.880
I would like to instead draw the fire from all the candles lit
00:44:20.580 --> 00:44:25.560
and I will mark a stress to convert my shape, my element into fire
00:44:26.040 --> 00:44:32.560
as like the hackles around my dog form just starts to ignite into flame.
00:44:33.484 --> 00:44:40.172
As I'm walking around, just kind of like looking, I'm not, I mean, dogs aren't necessarily looking for prey, but they're,
00:44:40.172 --> 00:44:42.300
you know, they still have that instinct.
00:44:42.600 --> 00:44:43.480
Jenn: That's stalking.
00:44:43.800 --> 00:44:50.140
John: I think he's just stalking around closer to the enemy's stage.
00:44:50.220 --> 00:44:53.302
Kurt: Okay. You kind of like as you're moving around everybody's like
00:44:53.302 --> 00:44:54.393
Crowd (Kurt): Woah! (Oohs and Aahs)
00:44:54.393 --> 00:45:03.386
Kurt: Just the awe of the fire coalescing on you as most of the fire and the candles extinguish, kind of darkening
00:45:03.719 --> 00:45:10.380
the room a little bit which makes the lights even brighter and put more on a light show.
00:45:10.600 --> 00:45:12.880
It is a astounding success,
00:45:13.365 --> 00:45:18.220
but as that first note was struck the battle ensues.
00:45:18.507 --> 00:45:26.539
You see both teams kind of stop back, and they look like they're judging each other and trying to anticipate the
00:45:26.826 --> 00:45:32.846
first move. Not one of them wants to move first, but you look and you see one of the Ribbits, the
00:45:32.846 --> 00:45:35.260
one right in front of closest to N’kuwa.
00:45:35.260 --> 00:45:37.520
He is a springy little fella.
00:45:37.784 --> 00:45:43.859
You see him. He's got what looks like a sword and a shield, and he bends down really quick, and he
00:45:43.859 --> 00:45:54.186
jumps up super high as he jumps across the map, lands next to the one Galapas with, we'll say, probably the
00:45:54.186 --> 00:45:57.960
purple mask and a long stick, the staff.
00:45:57.960 --> 00:46:07.334
As he goes in, makes an attack as the Galapa’s moves to make the block. And the sword goes (Shunk) right through
00:46:07.334 --> 00:46:10.323
the staff as (crshh) he stops in.
00:46:10.323 --> 00:46:12.740
Now he's got two shorter sticks.
00:46:13.424 --> 00:46:21.021
Looks like he's going to go in for a barrage attack (Du du domp dom dom), starts hitting him and flipping around. Probably saying
00:46:21.021 --> 00:46:22.540
some weird snarky comments.
00:46:22.680 --> 00:46:24.360
But, yeah, the battle ensues.
00:46:25.527 --> 00:46:29.680
You can move all the contestants right on the front line.
00:46:29.680 --> 00:46:32.260
So, Severian, what are you doing at the moment
00:46:32.799 --> 00:46:38.540
as, looks like everybody except for the shaman as fuck looking one.
00:46:38.977 --> 00:46:40.560
But, yeah, he stays there.
00:46:41.880 --> 00:46:44.900
Kai: Sevarian's like in shock for a second because he's never seen people fight this way.
00:46:45.060 --> 00:46:49.360
He's just used to people like feral tearing each other apart, doing whatever they can to win.
00:46:49.420 --> 00:46:52.680
He's not used to like ‘Let's get down in an arena and face each other and then charge.’
00:46:53.120 --> 00:46:59.773
So for a second, he just stands there before he lets out this like maniacal laugh and then just lunges at
00:46:59.773 --> 00:47:01.040
the first closest person.
00:47:01.180 --> 00:47:01.420
Kurt: Okay.
00:47:01.180 --> 00:47:02.050
Piccolo trills again
00:47:01.480 --> 00:47:04.860
Kai: It was probably the guy on the left.
00:47:05.400 --> 00:47:05.960
It was a turtle.
00:47:06.600 --> 00:47:06.880
Kurt: Yeah.
00:47:07.880 --> 00:47:09.280
Kai: And I have to move to hit him.
00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:13.160
Kurt: All these minis I have and I don't have any turtles.
00:47:13.160 --> 00:47:14.522
Jenn: Can I retcon one thing?
00:47:14.442 --> 00:47:14.682
Kurt: Yep!
00:47:14.522 --> 00:47:17.520
Jenn: Before we left the green room and came out to perform,
00:47:17.880 --> 00:47:21.960
she would have given you guys a little pep talk that you guys are going to do such a great job.
00:47:22.180 --> 00:47:23.280
Don't forget your rally dice.
00:47:23.420 --> 00:47:23.720
Kurt: Oh, yeah.
00:47:23.840 --> 00:47:24.300
Kai: Very helpful.
00:47:24.800 --> 00:47:25.040
Jenn: Uh-huh.
00:47:26.180 --> 00:47:30.520
Kai: Oh, the other thing. Can I say I had a bet on myself before I went down here?
00:47:30.520 --> 00:47:32.520
Laughter
00:47:33.440 --> 00:47:34.740
Kurt: To win or lose?
00:47:35.340 --> 00:47:35.820
Kai: Oh, to win.
00:47:35.940 --> 00:47:36.440
Kurt: Oh, to win?
00:47:36.560 --> 00:47:36.800
Kai: Yeah.
00:47:36.700 --> 00:47:36.940
Kurt: Okay
00:47:37.220 --> 00:47:38.240
Kai: I only have a handful of gold.
00:47:38.600 --> 00:47:39.360
It's probably nothing.
00:47:39.560 --> 00:47:42.460
Luke: If he didn't have time to do so, while disguised, I will do so.
00:47:42.520 --> 00:47:42.760
Kurt: Okay.
00:47:43.200 --> 00:47:43.540
Kai: On who?
00:47:43.540 --> 00:47:44.740
Laughter
00:47:44.740 --> 00:47:45.360
Luke: Oh, on you.
00:47:45.600 --> 00:47:46.000
Kai: Oh, sweet.
00:47:46.300 --> 00:47:47.280
Kai: Okay. All right, I'm attacking.
00:47:47.460 --> 00:47:48.700
Kurt: How much are you betting?
00:47:48.860 --> 00:47:50.440
Kai: Just a handful. That's all I have, yeah.
00:47:50.440 --> 00:47:50.680
Kurt: Okay
00:47:50.960 --> 00:47:52.620
Kai: I'm sure the odds are pretty bad for me to win.
00:47:52.620 --> 00:47:54.120
Luke: I'll cheat if we need to.
00:47:55.820 --> 00:47:58.760
Kai: 16 with fear to hit.
00:47:59.160 --> 00:48:01.620
Kurt: That does hit. Go ahead and roll your damage.
00:48:02.200 --> 00:48:03.900
They will spotlight next.
00:48:04.600 --> 00:48:08.880
Kai: It was a one, but I have the card Not Good Enough, so since it's a one, I get to reroll!
00:48:08.880 --> 00:48:12.820
Eleven physical damage.
00:48:12.820 --> 00:48:14.260
Kurt: Eleven?
00:48:14.260 --> 00:48:14.540
Kai: Mm-hmm.
00:48:15.700 --> 00:48:22.520
Kurt: Nice. I'll say that is major damage on the turtle guy as you jump in.
00:48:23.160 --> 00:48:27.220
He kind of like shrieks a little bit, but he enacts.
00:48:28.080 --> 00:48:28.684
He's like
00:48:28.684 --> 00:48:29.590
Galapagos fighter (Kurt, British accent): Fuck you, mister!
00:48:29.590 --> 00:48:34.200
Kurt: And he like takes out his size and he goes in for like a couple of
00:48:34.120 --> 00:48:38.380
jab attacks as some enemies going up against you.
00:48:38.640 --> 00:48:41.640
The Galapas guy attacks you with his weapons.
00:48:42.040 --> 00:48:44.620
That is a 12 against your evasion.
00:48:44.820 --> 00:48:46.200
Kai: That barely misses.
00:48:46.500 --> 00:48:49.980
Kurt: Barely misses. You kind of dodge out of the way, kind of push it around.
00:48:49.980 --> 00:48:50.900
Kai: I’m down on all fours.
00:48:50.920 --> 00:48:51.880
He's not used to somebody doing that.
00:48:51.880 --> 00:48:53.340
Kurt: Yeah, he's not used to that.
00:48:53.420 --> 00:49:00.080
But as you dodge out of the way, you put yourself in a vulnerable position for the Ribbit warrior
00:49:00.080 --> 00:49:02.520
that runs up behind you with a battle axe.
00:49:02.900 --> 00:49:04.660
It's going to strike down.
00:49:04.840 --> 00:49:09.020
I will give myself advantage with that fear.
00:49:09.740 --> 00:49:11.520
Oh, thank god. That was a natural one.
00:49:12.240 --> 00:49:14.260
That is a 16 to hit.
00:49:14.760 --> 00:49:15.620
Kai: That hits.
00:49:16.620 --> 00:49:20.008
Kurt: That is 12 points of physical damage-
00:49:19.524 --> 00:49:20.492
Kai: I’m going to reduce that by one.
00:49:20.008 --> 00:49:26.300
Kurt: -to you as the Ribbit comes down, slashes you right in the back,
00:49:26.300 --> 00:49:30.340
and he is going to mark a stress to give you a stress.
00:49:30.340 --> 00:49:33.280
So he forces a stress upon you.
00:49:33.360 --> 00:49:36.920
The rest of the battle map, they're fighting each other.
00:49:37.300 --> 00:49:39.600
Swords clings, things going on.
00:49:39.880 --> 00:49:45.040
The Iron Strings start (Schpoom) tuning in on top of everything.
00:49:45.040 --> 00:49:53.172
Now you guys are playing at the same time and you like somehow it's making this odd kind of metal and
00:49:54.028 --> 00:49:57.880
like fantasy rock song that is kind of meshing
00:49:57.960 --> 00:50:07.837
because they're vibing with you and you see that the lead singer of the Iron Strings, they the band keeps look
00:50:07.837 --> 00:50:10.380
at her to like, ‘When are you gonna start singing?’.
00:50:10.380 --> 00:50:18.127
And he goes to… or she goes to step into the mic and kind of pulls back a little bit, looking
00:50:18.127 --> 00:50:23.020
down at Seraphina and just kind of pauses for a moment
00:50:23.140 --> 00:50:24.340
and you hear the crowd go-
00:50:24.340 --> 00:50:24.580
Crowd (Kurt): Ohhhhhh!
00:50:24.440 --> 00:50:30.400
Kurt: -just afraid to make a sound but the band kind of picks up a little harder
00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:43.416
and you see the band, the Lumora around the instrument starts glowing as one of the guy holding the hand lute
00:50:43.416 --> 00:50:49.257
or lyre, kind of like looks up and he's strumming and you can see he's activating some type of runes on
00:50:49.257 --> 00:50:53.080
the side of it (woop whoop whoop woop woop woop). And he goes ‘Ahhh!’
00:50:53.080 --> 00:50:58.180
and he strums this power chord as a blast of Lumora (schumf whum whuf whum wchm)
00:50:59.180 --> 00:51:02.100
kind of like forces its way over at you.
00:51:02.420 --> 00:51:05.960
And this is going to be probably right at Seraphina.
00:51:06.220 --> 00:51:08.720
That is a 18 against your evasion.
00:51:09.940 --> 00:51:11.000
Jenn: Yeah, that hits.
00:51:11.160 --> 00:51:21.331
Kurt: That hits. Okay, so as this what looks like blast of Lumora energy in like a musical note (schumf) comes flying towards
00:51:21.331 --> 00:51:24.463
you, you get hit. Oof,
00:51:24.463 --> 00:51:29.080
that is 24 points of magic damage.
00:51:29.080 --> 00:51:30.040
Kevin: I Am Your Shield.
00:51:30.400 --> 00:51:31.440
Kurt: Okay. Yeah.
00:51:31.440 --> 00:51:33.200
Jenn: Holy crud.
00:51:33.200 --> 00:51:38.720
Kurt: It's this blast. Well, that gets hit as you feel yourself get hit.
00:51:38.720 --> 00:51:40.300
And with I Am Your Shield,
00:51:40.944 --> 00:51:43.320
you take that damage. Do you mitigate that?
00:51:43.560 --> 00:51:47.000
Kevin: Yep. I spend half of my armor to knock that to zero.
00:51:47.000 --> 00:51:54.160
Kurt: So you take zero damage as you bring your sword (schumph) and almost like catch the magic with the sword.
00:51:54.813 --> 00:52:05.240
Kevin: Slicing down and another one of those energy arcs just kind of intercepts and causes, right before it would hit Seraphina,
00:52:06.414 --> 00:52:13.460
this collision that like interacts with each other and sort of explodes harmlessly right in front of her.
00:52:13.460 --> 00:52:22.817
Kurt: Welcome to the battle ballad, where this is a literal battle of songs, a battle of the bands, amidst a battle
00:52:22.817 --> 00:52:31.674
on the field. They… it is everything as you see as the other band members are starting to prepare and do
00:52:32.337 --> 00:52:39.620
their, you see the the bassist. He turns his his bass- or his bass drum around
00:52:39.620 --> 00:52:45.820
and as you do it you see this odd looking, almost like a cannon of energy.
00:52:46.341 --> 00:52:52.055
And he's like (duh dumph dumf) and you see this like (Whommmmmffff). And you hear the crowd like;
00:52:52.055 --> 00:52:53.960
Crowd (Kurt): Oooooooh!
00:52:53.960 --> 00:52:56.320
Geoff: I'm so excited that I'm on their side of the field.
00:52:56.320 --> 00:52:57.900
Laughter
00:52:57.900 --> 00:52:59.420
Geoff: So this is the drummer doing that?
00:52:59.440 --> 00:53:00.420
Kurt: This is the drummer, yeah.
00:53:00.700 --> 00:53:05.395
Geoff: Beautiful. I would like to pierce his drum-
00:53:05.315 --> 00:53:05.555
Kevin: Ohh!!
00:53:05.395 --> 00:53:09.320
Goeff: -right before he climaxes to that final note.
00:53:09.520 --> 00:53:10.720
Kurt: Yeah, go ahead and make an attack.
00:53:11.640 --> 00:53:13.560
Jenn: Are you doing it with an arrow or your horns?
00:53:14.380 --> 00:53:17.264
I can just see you charging across with your- Geoff:
00:53:17.264 --> 00:53:21.100
I actually have a short sword that I will use.
00:53:23.560 --> 00:53:25.700
I'm going to use my rally dice.
00:53:28.380 --> 00:53:30.000
12 with fear.
00:53:30.180 --> 00:53:32.060
Kurt: Oh that does not succeed.
00:53:32.340 --> 00:53:34.380
Kevin: Let's make that a 15.
00:53:34.900 --> 00:53:39.300
Kurt: 15 does. Yeah, 15. I still get the fear, right?
00:53:39.380 --> 00:53:45.060
Yeah. A 15 succeeds as you go through. He sees you coming down.
00:53:45.060 --> 00:53:50.620
He stops and he like, points, he starts he's starting to point the cannon right at you
00:53:51.127 --> 00:53:51.493
goes;
00:53:51.493 --> 00:53:51.860
Drummer (Kurt, muttering): Fuck!
00:53:52.454 --> 00:53:56.860
Kurt: He points but just as you get there you pierce the drum.
00:53:56.980 --> 00:54:00.100
As you pierce the drum, the energy releases.
00:54:00.100 --> 00:54:03.860
I'm going to spend two fear to activate that.
00:54:03.320 --> 00:54:04.520
Crowd cheering
00:54:03.980 --> 00:54:10.800
Kurt: You hear the the rip of the of the canvas hide or might even be some type of leather
00:54:10.800 --> 00:54:12.340
hide or animal hide drum.
00:54:12.740 --> 00:54:18.740
But as the energy that was built up releases, you get (dwoosh), you get blown back.
00:54:18.740 --> 00:54:19.502
Geoff: Worth a shot.
00:54:19.502 --> 00:54:28.267
Kurt: You take 21 points of magic damage. As you jump in (pmmf) as you hear Sil
00:54:28.267 --> 00:54:29.796
on the side goes;
00:54:29.796 --> 00:54:33.260
Sil (Kurt, on a megaphone): Oh (chuckle) wow. Hey, we got some dirty play going on here, guys.
00:54:33.734 --> 00:54:36.340
You're not allowed to cross the stage, but who do we care?
00:54:36.380 --> 00:54:37.040
It's entertaining.
00:54:37.040 --> 00:54:37.738
Geoff: So I've been here!
00:54:37.738 --> 00:54:45.655
Kurt: But you get blown back to a far range. So
00:54:45.655 --> 00:54:48.200
you get blown back into the arena.
00:54:48.200 --> 00:54:49.383
Geoff: Aw.
00:54:49.383 --> 00:54:50.454
Kurt: Right in the middle.
00:54:50.454 --> 00:54:51.257
Geoff: In the middle?
00:54:51.257 --> 00:54:59.740
Kurt: In the middle (booof). As you land (crshhh) on the ground, the frog next to you looks back, looks like;
00:54:59.740 --> 00:55:00.100
Ribbit warrior (Kurt): Frog screeching sound
00:55:00.100 --> 00:55:03.460
Kurt: And is going to attack you at the moment.
00:55:03.460 --> 00:55:07.480
But for the time being, spotlights on y'all.
00:55:07.480 --> 00:55:08.220
Geoff: I want out.
00:55:08.220 --> 00:55:10.220
Laughter
00:55:11.560 --> 00:55:12.560
Kai: Understandable. Have a nice day.
00:55:12.620 --> 00:55:14.480
Geoff: I'll hop back out. Yeah.
00:55:14.480 --> 00:55:17.280
Kevin: I got nothing that can reach that far.
00:55:17.380 --> 00:55:18.860
Somebody do something about those assholes.
00:55:18.860 --> 00:55:22.800
Kurt: As you jump out, this is not necessarily an opportunity attack, but he was swinging on
00:55:22.800 --> 00:55:24.500
you anyways right as you landed.
00:55:24.500 --> 00:55:24.780
Geoff: Okay, yeah.
00:55:25.320 --> 00:55:27.940
Kurt: So he is going to swing away.
00:55:27.940 --> 00:55:30.560
Geoff: And so since he did swing, I'm going to shoot him back
00:55:31.480 --> 00:55:31.720
once-
00:55:31.700 --> 00:55:32.100
Kurt: Okay.
00:55:32.100 --> 00:55:34.020
Geoff: Yeah, do your thing, and then I will shoot back.
00:55:34.120 --> 00:55:36.520
Kurt: He swings for a 13 against your evasion.
00:55:37.020 --> 00:55:38.100
Geoff: That meets it beats it,
00:55:38.100 --> 00:55:38.473
so-
00:55:38.473 --> 00:55:45.560
Kurt: Does a meager 11 points of physical damage as you get hit by what looks like a halberd,
00:55:45.620 --> 00:55:50.860
but it's almost like a mace on a long stick (schbmff) and he gets slammed.
00:55:51.060 --> 00:55:56.060
And it looks- like you hear a large croak of happiness from this ribbit.
00:55:56.360 --> 00:55:58.000
Geoff: Sweet. So I shoot him in the face.
00:55:58.180 --> 00:56:02.360
Kurt: Yep. So you jump out of the arena, or are you shooting before you jump?
00:56:02.360 --> 00:56:07.660
Goeff: No, I jump up at least to the railing, and then loose it at him.
00:56:07.740 --> 00:56:08.000
Kurt: Like mid-jump?
00:56:08.400 --> 00:56:11.340
Geoff: Yeah. Come on.
00:56:11.340 --> 00:56:13.340
Kurt: Chuckles
00:56:15.340 --> 00:56:19.560
Geoff: Unfortunate. So that is...13 again.
00:56:20.245 --> 00:56:23.360
Kurt: 13 is the difficulty for these guys-
00:56:22.760 --> 00:56:23.960
Geoff: Cheers
00:56:23.360 --> 00:56:26.110
Kurt: -as you jump in. With hope?
00:56:26.030 --> 00:56:26.920
Geoff: With hope.
00:56:27.160 --> 00:56:28.580
Kurt: Okay. Roll that damage.
00:56:28.800 --> 00:56:30.460
Geoff: Eight points of physical damage.
00:56:30.620 --> 00:56:34.200
Kurt: Okay. Eight points of physical damage. Severian,
00:56:34.200 --> 00:56:35.160
what are you doing?
00:56:35.660 --> 00:56:41.700
Kai: I am going to launch myself back at the froggo who just attacked me with battle axe.
00:56:41.060 --> 00:56:42.260
Sounds of crowd: Woah!!
00:56:41.620 --> 00:56:42.360
Kurt: Okay.
00:56:42.580 --> 00:56:48.480
Kai: And attack him back. 14 with fear.
00:56:49.500 --> 00:56:53.960
I cannot roll with hope. Oh, I'm going to use a slayer die on this too.
00:56:54.220 --> 00:56:54.480
Kurt: Okay.
00:56:55.100 --> 00:56:56.540
Kai: 13 physical damage.
00:56:57.400 --> 00:57:02.360
Kurt: 13. You turn around. You hit this ribbit.
00:57:02.798 --> 00:57:05.500
This is like a big hulking ribbit.
00:57:05.560 --> 00:57:11.720
He looks at you. He's like a toad folk. But as you (crshuwsh) kind of stab into him,
00:57:12.408 --> 00:57:16.195
you see him. His eyes kind of turn and go.
00:57:15.595 --> 00:57:16.795
Ribbit Warrior (Kurt): Blech
00:57:16.195 --> 00:57:20.480
Kurt: And it looks like he opens his mouth real wide.
00:57:21.375 --> 00:57:27.320
And his tongue (thdunk) shoots out and grapples you.
00:57:27.812 --> 00:57:30.280
Well, maybe. Oh! That's a natural 20.
00:57:30.280 --> 00:57:31.077
All players make dissapointed sounds
00:57:31.077 --> 00:57:33.160
Kurt: No, it's supposed to be
00:57:33.280 --> 00:57:33.720
yay!
00:57:33.720 --> 00:57:34.840
Players simultaneously: Oh, yayyy! Woo! Woohoo.
00:57:34.840 --> 00:57:35.120
Luke (sarcastically): Yay.
00:57:34.840 --> 00:57:35.720
Laughter
00:57:35.120 --> 00:57:39.920
Kurt: You guys did it wrong.
00:57:41.570 --> 00:57:49.520
Natural 20, that is a six plus. One plus one.
00:57:49.700 --> 00:57:52.682
So eight points of-
00:57:52.682 --> 00:57:53.278
Players: Yay!
00:57:52.682 --> 00:57:53.878
Laughter
00:57:53.278 --> 00:57:56.260
Kurt: Eight points of tongue damage.
00:57:56.260 --> 00:57:56.900
Jenn: Ew, don’t want.
00:57:56.900 --> 00:57:57.140
John: Gross
00:57:57.113 --> 00:57:58.180
Kevin: That's a real tongue lashing.
00:57:58.180 --> 00:58:04.060
Kurt: Laughs. You are now grappled by this tongue
00:58:05.179 --> 00:58:09.420
as he kind of like wraps it around. He almost like pulls you in close to him.
00:58:09.480 --> 00:58:14.942
The rest of the battle, I'm going to just
00:58:14.942 --> 00:58:16.080
roll some dice here. See what happens.
00:58:16.080 --> 00:58:25.680
The battle starts, is undergoing, or underway as the ribbits and the gala start
00:58:26.035 --> 00:58:30.656
attacking each other. You see swords being smashed, punches and kicking.
00:58:31.120 --> 00:58:36.552
The turtles kind of like, one of them kind of like... pulls into its shell and rolls around and gets kicked
00:58:36.552 --> 00:58:42.620
by the other turtle. And as that turtle comes through, smashes one of the frogs in the face.
00:58:42.620 --> 00:58:43.113
Crowd cheers
00:58:43.113 --> 00:58:48.040
Kurt: The frog with the stick, the staff, that hit Pi N'kua.
00:58:48.469 --> 00:58:49.600
Go ahead and lay him down (indicating to the minis on the battle map).
00:58:49.880 --> 00:58:52.040
Nope, the frog. That one,
00:58:52.120 --> 00:59:01.234
yeah. Yeah, so the one that hits you with the mace, he goes unconscious by a turtle shell (doof) as he gets
00:59:01.568 --> 00:59:02.900
hit in the face.
00:59:02.980 --> 00:59:03.680
Kevin: It’s like Mario.
00:59:03.680 --> 00:59:04.200
Laughter
00:59:04.200 --> 00:59:11.688
Kurt: Yeah, as the Galapa pops out of his shell, he goes...
00:59:11.688 --> 00:59:18.731
Galapa Warrior (Kurt, surfer accent): Totally awesome, guys! Sorry. There was a deep sigh there, but I'm not going to say what
00:59:18.731 --> 00:59:22.060
I thought I said because I'm pretty sure that's copyrighted.
00:59:22.140 --> 00:59:23.600
Geoff: I'm pretty sure we're not allowed to do that.
00:59:23.600 --> 00:59:24.880
Laughter
00:59:24.880 --> 00:59:26.320
Geoff: But you all know what we're thinking.
00:59:29.360 --> 00:59:29.600
Kurt: Yeah.
00:59:29.360 --> 00:59:30.200
Laughter
00:59:29.600 --> 00:59:30.820
Kai: Horse-a-booyah?
00:59:30.820 --> 00:59:31.140
Kurt: Yeah.
00:59:30.820 --> 00:59:31.740
Laughter
00:59:31.140 --> 00:59:31.840
Kurt: There we go.
00:59:31.840 --> 00:59:37.020
Kevin: Horse-a-booyah.
00:59:36.420 --> 00:59:37.620
Chuckling
00:59:37.020 --> 00:59:37.820
Luke: That's awful.
00:59:39.392 --> 00:59:40.720
John: There's the title episode.
00:59:42.300 --> 00:59:47.560
Kurt: Well, that's sticking. Spotlight's back on y'all.
00:59:47.560 --> 00:59:51.880
Luke: How is Severian looking? Does he look like he still has a good chance of winning?
00:59:52.740 --> 00:59:54.620
Kai: It's 50-50. I’m pretty beat up.
00:59:54.620 --> 00:59:56.500
Luke: As soon as it looks like he's...
00:59:57.040 --> 00:59:58.820
Kai: I’m not losing. Just to clarify.
00:59:58.820 --> 01:00:02.920
Luke: Chuckles. Yeah… as soon as it looks there’s a chance of him losing,
01:00:02.920 --> 01:00:07.080
I am just preparing myself to shadow step in and reign of blades
01:00:07.080 --> 01:00:08.140
the rest of them.
01:00:08.060 --> 01:00:08.300
Kurt: Oh!
01:00:08.140 --> 01:00:09.300
Kai: Yeah buddy.
01:00:09.300 --> 01:00:11.300
Kevin: I’ve been waiting for that.
01:00:12.020 --> 01:00:12.400
Geoff: Heck yeah.
01:00:13.017 --> 01:00:13.800
Jenn: I just had a question,
01:00:14.200 --> 01:00:16.580
how far apart are the two stages?
01:00:16.880 --> 01:00:18.080
Are they close?
01:00:18.960 --> 01:00:19.660
Kurt: They are far
01:00:20.080 --> 01:00:21.000
Jenn: They are far?
01:00:21.500 --> 01:00:21.740
Kurt: Yes.
01:00:21.500 --> 01:00:22.340
Jenn: Okay
01:00:22.340 --> 01:00:25.520
Kevin: I can't do shit. Literally I Am Your Shield right now,
01:00:26.480 --> 01:00:27.120
that's it.
01:00:27.320 --> 01:00:33.040
Geoff: So I would like to kind of try and go back into the battle of the bands thing.
01:00:33.100 --> 01:00:33.360
Kurt: Mmhmm.
01:00:33.700 --> 01:00:37.920
Geoff: And I’m going to turn to the crowd since I'm kind of standing on the rail by the crowd.
01:00:38.060 --> 01:00:40.560
And I'm going to start drumming on the rails in front of them.
01:00:40.560 --> 01:00:40.820
Kurt: Mkay
01:00:41.200 --> 01:00:46.200
Geoff: And I'm going to try and like (duh duh duh) and point at the other band.
01:00:45.720 --> 01:00:46.920
Rhythmic drumming in call and response pattern.
01:00:46.440 --> 01:00:49.500
Geoff: I’m going to do it like five or six times trying to get the whole crowd into it.
01:00:49.540 --> 01:00:52.200
Like get them shouting as they point their hands at the band.
01:00:52.640 --> 01:00:56.360
And the last time that I do it, I'm going to cast Vicious Entangle-
01:00:56.360 --> 01:00:56.920
Kurt: Oooh, yeah.
01:00:56.920 --> 01:01:00.020
Geoff: -as I charge up my own magic music attack!
01:01:00.020 --> 01:01:00.687
Jenn: Nice
01:01:00.687 --> 01:01:02.020
Kevin: Oh yeah!
01:01:02.020 --> 01:01:02.960
Kurt: I'm here for it.
01:01:03.660 --> 01:01:05.360
Geoff: And I'm going to roll better this time.
01:01:05.480 --> 01:01:05.920
Kurt: Yeah, you will.
01:01:07.740 --> 01:01:09.240
Geoff: 20 with fear.
01:01:10.190 --> 01:01:13.660
Kurt: Sweet. You target a specific person, right?
01:01:13.900 --> 01:01:17.040
Geoff: So I'm going to go after the fiddle.
01:01:17.180 --> 01:01:19.040
And is the brass close to the fiddle?
01:01:19.900 --> 01:01:21.060
Kurt: The brass is not.
01:01:21.320 --> 01:01:23.320
Geoff: Okay, who would be the closest together?
01:01:23.640 --> 01:01:25.020
Probably the guy with the...
01:01:25.020 --> 01:01:25.840
Jenn: The two two strings?
01:01:26.220 --> 01:01:27.080
Kurt: The leer. Yeah.
01:01:27.520 --> 01:01:31.120
Geoff: Okay, so the leer and the fiddle would be close together?
01:01:31.120 --> 01:01:31.509
Jenn: I think the other one
01:01:31.509 --> 01:01:31.820
was like a bass?
01:01:31.820 --> 01:01:32.060
Kurt: Yeah
01:01:32.040 --> 01:01:35.280
Geoff: Okay, I'm going to target the fiddle.
01:01:35.280 --> 01:01:44.552
And then I'm going to spend a hope, because I succeeded, to target an additional creature next to them within very
01:01:44.552 --> 01:01:46.760
close range of the target.
01:01:47.000 --> 01:01:49.600
So they are both going to be restrained.
01:01:49.600 --> 01:01:50.240
Kurt: Ooh!
01:01:50.240 --> 01:01:54.780
Geoff: But only the fiddle will take damage.
01:01:54.920 --> 01:01:55.160
Kurt: Okay.
01:01:55.560 --> 01:01:56.920
Geoff: But they will both be restrained.
01:01:56.920 --> 01:01:57.480
Kurt: Mmhmm.
01:01:59.780 --> 01:02:03.420
Geoff: Maximum damage. So nine points of physical damage.
01:02:03.820 --> 01:02:05.640
And then both of them are restrained.
01:02:05.640 --> 01:02:09.540
Kurt: Yeah. So nine points of physical damage to one of them.
01:02:10.960 --> 01:02:11.200
Yeah.
01:02:11.440 --> 01:02:14.700
Geoff: So Vera- no, sorry. Needle Nissa.
01:02:15.200 --> 01:02:15.940
Kurt: Yeah, Needle Nissa.
01:02:16.560 --> 01:02:20.240
Geoff: The fiddle, yep. And then whoever, the Bold Bone,
01:02:20.460 --> 01:02:21.160
was that the other one?
01:02:21.520 --> 01:02:21.760
Kurt: Yep.
01:02:21.560 --> 01:02:24.940
Geoff: So he is restrained. Nissa took the damage.
01:02:25.460 --> 01:02:25.700
Kurt: Okay.
01:02:25.900 --> 01:02:34.165
Geoff: And as this blast comes out, since there's no plant life here, I take the wood from the stage underneath them
01:02:34.165 --> 01:02:36.680
and wrap it up around their bodies.
01:02:36.680 --> 01:02:36.960
Kurt: Nice
01:02:37.760 --> 01:02:38.400
Kevin: Sick.
01:02:38.940 --> 01:02:42.160
Kurt: The wood kind of solidifies them into place.
01:02:42.520 --> 01:02:45.400
They can still take actions on their turn.
01:02:45.480 --> 01:02:53.594
They just can't move. I'm going to spend a fear for, the fiddle player is kind of like going through as
01:02:53.594 --> 01:03:01.726
this happens, still trying to play like kind of like stopping kind of looking at everything and go and it's like
01:03:01.726 --> 01:03:04.560
trying to start strumming a little harder
01:03:04.660 --> 01:03:12.743
and as you do you see like the Lumora around her is like (whooooo) going through and making a a beeline to,
01:03:12.743 --> 01:03:15.100
I'll say you attacked you attacked her.
01:03:15.100 --> 01:03:22.580
So like she she uh she comes over and hits you with a magical music blast.
01:03:24.215 --> 01:03:25.625
Dude, this dice is so hot.
01:03:25.545 --> 01:03:25.860
Players: Aw man!
01:03:25.940 --> 01:03:26.820
Geoff: Oh, come on.
01:03:28.400 --> 01:03:32.400
Kurt: Like, wow! I'm going to have to start and make sure you guys see this.
01:03:32.420 --> 01:03:33.757
Geoff: I’ll just mark that armor
01:03:33.757 --> 01:03:34.615
off.
01:03:34.615 --> 01:03:36.300
Kurt: You can verify it if you want to.
01:03:36.520 --> 01:03:37.100
Geoff: I believe it.
01:03:37.100 --> 01:03:37.720
Kurt: Chuckles.
01:03:37.720 --> 01:03:39.680
Geoff: The unfortunate thing is I don't have to.
01:03:41.040 --> 01:03:46.840
Kurt: Thank you. The bad part, if I was rolling open like I usually do, I'd be rolling like utter dog shit.
01:03:47.620 --> 01:03:49.680
Geoff: It's true. It is true.
01:03:49.760 --> 01:03:50.140
Luke: That’s how it works.
01:03:51.820 --> 01:03:57.440
Kurt: Natural 20 for those that- since I didn't say it. This one's gonna hurt.
01:03:57.540 --> 01:03:59.460
This is a a fiddle blast
01:03:59.600 --> 01:04:02.640
that is 18 points of magic damage.
01:04:02.640 --> 01:04:03.660
Luke (Sarcastic): Yay.
01:04:03.660 --> 01:04:04.300
Kevin: Still stout.
01:04:04.640 --> 01:04:06.060
Geoff: Yeah, still major damage.
01:04:06.260 --> 01:04:06.680
Kurt: Okay.
01:04:06.780 --> 01:04:08.551
Geoff: With, I'm using-
01:04:08.311 --> 01:04:08.791
Kurt: Mark an armor?
01:04:08.551 --> 01:04:09.880
Goeff: -my last armor.
01:04:10.040 --> 01:04:13.120
Kurt: Okay, so you- what does that look like?
01:04:14.302 --> 01:04:22.480
Geoff: As my uh final armor is broken? So I am wearing just like leather armor,
01:04:22.560 --> 01:04:24.300
very basic, kind of humble.
01:04:24.300 --> 01:04:29.720
And I think as the waves of this fiddle kind of rip through the material, it kind of
01:04:29.720 --> 01:04:35.320
tears at the seams and starts shredding it apart, kind of falling to pieces.
01:04:35.813 --> 01:04:44.200
The inner lining kind of revealing an almost regal lining, kind of a gold inlay,
01:04:44.200 --> 01:04:48.740
like a velvet almost, on the inside,
01:04:48.740 --> 01:04:53.840
but the outside's rough and rugged, and it just kind of rips apart at the seams as that
01:04:53.840 --> 01:04:55.600
wave courses through my body.
01:04:57.200 --> 01:05:02.940
John: I'm going to, because I've kind of just been stalking, looking at the fight, making sure
01:05:02.940 --> 01:05:08.980
that Severian's okay, noticing that you've fallen back in and out of the pit.
01:05:09.957 --> 01:05:15.200
I've been kind of near, I've been closer to the enemy stage.
01:05:16.695 --> 01:05:24.240
I am going to spend three hope to transform into a different beast without marking a stress.
01:05:24.240 --> 01:05:25.075
Kurt: Nice:
01:05:25.075 --> 01:05:27.880
John: When I do so, I increase the stat of my choice.
01:05:28.586 --> 01:05:32.420
And I'm going to convert into a wolf.
01:05:33.095 --> 01:05:37.600
Basically what Basagar was, but just a lot bigger, a lot bulkier.
01:05:38.509 --> 01:05:45.462
And I'm going to go towards Kua and try to just grab him and bring him towards
01:05:46.280 --> 01:05:48.000
my other companions on the stage.
01:05:48.240 --> 01:05:48.660
Kurt: Okay.
01:05:49.654 --> 01:05:53.640
John: So yeah, I’m not doing… other than that I’m going to truly just bring him
01:05:53.640 --> 01:05:54.500
to the stage.
01:05:55.220 --> 01:05:55.460
Kurt: Sweet.
01:05:55.860 --> 01:05:56.780
Pi N’kua (Geoff, strained): Get me out of here!
01:05:57.905 --> 01:05:59.420
Kurt: You grab him, bring him back.
01:05:59.640 --> 01:06:02.260
Kai: How bad does this guy look that's grappling me?
01:06:02.733 --> 01:06:03.200
Kurt: Pretty bad.
01:06:03.460 --> 01:06:04.620
Kai: Okay, I want to try to finish him.
01:06:04.760 --> 01:06:05.100
Kurt: Okay.
01:06:07.140 --> 01:06:08.140
Kai: 20 with fear.
01:06:08.140 --> 01:06:10.820
Kurt: Ay!
01:06:10.820 --> 01:06:13.300
Kai: 11 damage.
01:06:14.147 --> 01:06:15.640
Kurt: How do you end this frog?
01:06:15.720 --> 01:06:16.800
Kai: I cut his tongue off.
01:06:16.800 --> 01:06:17.040
Kurt: Ewh!
01:06:16.800 --> 01:06:17.580
Laughter
01:06:16.920 --> 01:06:17.160
Kevin: Oh!
01:06:20.164 --> 01:06:25.900
Kurt: (Schwunk) The tongue severs seamlessly. So satisfying,
01:06:26.080 --> 01:06:34.440
just (schwww). As you see his head (schdunk) snap back, just like a blood split (swpuft), like sprout
01:06:35.024 --> 01:06:37.360
arcs over his head.
01:06:38.420 --> 01:06:38.860
Kai: Nice.
01:06:38.860 --> 01:06:40.440
Laughter
01:06:40.440 --> 01:06:46.360
Kurt: Yeah, he takes the knee, kind of stops, goes;
01:06:46.360 --> 01:06:48.053
Frog Warrior (Kurt, screaming): Huuueehhh!
01:06:48.053 --> 01:06:55.920
Kurt: Frog screaming? You know how, like, when frogs are, like, inflated and just, like, (high pitched squeal). Oh, yeah,
01:06:56.168 --> 01:07:02.400
knock that guy down (indicating to battle map). One of the turtles kind of looks at you, stops- or sorry, Galapas, looks
01:07:02.400 --> 01:07:04.600
at you. Doesn't know what to do,
01:07:05.908 --> 01:07:08.960
spins his swords (Scwoomph woomph woomph). Kind of goes through.
01:07:09.060 --> 01:07:11.460
Kevin: They're kind of on the younger side.
01:07:11.500 --> 01:07:13.520
Kurt: They are, yeah. They're young Galapagos.
01:07:14.640 --> 01:07:15.600
They're definitely young.
01:07:17.084 --> 01:07:17.820
Kai: They're inexperienced.
01:07:17.980 --> 01:07:19.520
Kurt: Yeah, they're in their second decade.
01:07:19.700 --> 01:07:19.980
Yeah.
01:07:19.980 --> 01:07:21.980
Laughter
01:07:23.740 --> 01:07:25.700
Geoff: I didn't know this was a dance routine.
01:07:25.700 --> 01:07:27.700
Laughter
01:07:28.891 --> 01:07:33.400
Kurt: He does like a flip, and as he does a flip, his swords kind
01:07:33.400 --> 01:07:35.900
of come out, but this turtle never uses his swords.
01:07:36.000 --> 01:07:37.580
He always kicks people for some reason.
01:07:37.580 --> 01:07:39.148
Chuckles
01:07:39.148 --> 01:07:49.624
Kurt: We'll go through a roundhouse kick to you. But that's a eight-
01:07:49.464 --> 01:07:49.784
Kai: That’ll miss.
01:07:49.624 --> 01:07:56.400
Kurt: -which misses as this roundhouse kick comes around. You dodge out of the way (boof). He kind of lands in
01:07:56.400 --> 01:08:01.020
a superhero pose. I guess I should have spent a fear for that action.
01:08:02.120 --> 01:08:04.520
He missed, so it's back on y'all.
01:08:04.914 --> 01:08:08.460
Again, the bands are going crazy.
01:08:08.868 --> 01:08:12.340
The fiddles kind of like taking care of, the drum is out of commission.
01:08:12.580 --> 01:08:17.620
Looks like the brass player is kind of looking around, getting ready to do
01:08:17.620 --> 01:08:23.300
something. You see him put what looks like a mute in his trumpet.
01:08:23.900 --> 01:08:31.500
And as he pushes it in, you see it start to like glow with energy (whooommpphh) getting
01:08:31.500 --> 01:08:32.480
ready for an attack.
01:08:32.480 --> 01:08:36.180
Kevin: Has Seraphina been singing this whole time?
01:08:36.760 --> 01:08:38.260
Jenn: I assume.
01:08:38.260 --> 01:08:38.620
Kurt: Yeah.
01:08:38.260 --> 01:08:39.270
Trumpet blared.
01:08:38.720 --> 01:08:41.740
Kurt: During everything, music's going on.
01:08:43.100 --> 01:08:43.920
Jen: So I have a question.
01:08:44.260 --> 01:08:48.720
So there's one turtle left or is there two?
01:08:48.800 --> 01:08:49.920
I'm sorry- galapas
01:08:49.920 --> 01:08:53.680
Kurt: There’s four galapas left, and two frogs.
01:08:53.820 --> 01:08:55.780
Jenn: Oh, so it's the frogs that have gone down.
01:08:55.900 --> 01:08:56.140
Kurt: Yeah.
01:08:56.720 --> 01:08:59.360
Jenn: So the galapas are still up.
01:08:59.460 --> 01:08:59.700
Kurt: Yep.
01:08:59.640 --> 01:09:01.260
Kai: I did some damage to that one guy, though.
01:09:02.000 --> 01:09:03.720
Luke: Just say the word, and I'll knock them down.
01:09:03.880 --> 01:09:06.280
Kurt: And they have been damaged from each other,
01:09:06.280 --> 01:09:10.300
like the ribbits and the galapagos were fighting each other.
01:09:09.935 --> 01:09:10.460
Jenn: Yeah, but it’s the band though.
01:09:10.380 --> 01:09:12.820
Kai: Yeah, did they take any more swings at each other?
01:09:13.500 --> 01:09:18.360
Kurt: Ribbit, one, two is down, and three is down.
01:09:18.700 --> 01:09:19.480
Kai: Oh, wow.
01:09:20.620 --> 01:09:24.040
Kurt: So one of them hasn't taken any damage.
01:09:24.040 --> 01:09:25.860
John: I’m assuming this one in the back that hasn't.
01:09:25.860 --> 01:09:30.029
Kurt: Yeah. He's looking like getting ready to-
01:09:29.709 --> 01:09:30.349
Kai: Fours down as well?
01:09:30.029 --> 01:09:36.140
Kurt: -throw some magic on. The turtles are, they've all taken some damage from everybody.
01:09:36.580 --> 01:09:37.540
But go ahead.
01:09:37.980 --> 01:09:39.920
John: I have advantage on sprinting.
01:09:40.340 --> 01:09:43.083
So that's truly just what I'm doing. Would I
01:09:43.083 --> 01:09:46.220
have made it to the other stage at this point?
01:09:46.420 --> 01:09:46.660
Kurt: Yeah.
01:09:47.160 --> 01:09:56.556
John: So, yeah, I'm back with Kua, and I'm kind of like, I honestly just kind of like throw you onto the
01:09:56.556 --> 01:09:59.240
stage close to whoever's… probably Seraphina.
01:09:59.780 --> 01:10:03.400
Geoff: I just kind of roll off the stage and hide behind it a little bit.
01:10:03.400 --> 01:10:05.400
Chuckles
01:10:05.900 --> 01:10:08.760
Pi N’Kuwa (Geoff): Fuck. That didn't feel good.
01:10:09.380 --> 01:10:12.400
Oh, that's going to creak in the morning.
01:10:13.860 --> 01:10:21.100
Jenn: So to be within close range of the other stage, I would need to be what,
01:10:21.280 --> 01:10:23.960
like middle of the battle?
01:10:24.460 --> 01:10:26.480
Kurt: Close is 10 to 30.
01:10:26.640 --> 01:10:30.120
So yeah, you would have to go about middle of the pit.
01:10:30.420 --> 01:10:33.140
Jenn: Okay. If somebody else wants to do something, they can.
01:10:33.140 --> 01:10:34.900
Geoff: But you could also, you could fly above it.
01:10:35.260 --> 01:10:37.720
Jenn: Yeah, yeah, no, that's exactly what I figured.
01:10:38.040 --> 01:10:42.440
So are we still performing the second song or is that kind of-?
01:10:43.020 --> 01:10:46.820
Kurt: I'd say, yeah. So it's kind of like a jam at this moment.
01:10:46.980 --> 01:10:51.260
It's more of like a the last surviving band wins.
01:10:51.980 --> 01:11:00.560
Jenn: Okay. Seraphina's gonna look down at, I guess, Zeph and you were probably right there by the stage too, right?
01:11:00.480 --> 01:11:01.366
John: I’m at the bottom of the stage,
01:11:01.620 --> 01:11:01.860
yeah.
01:11:02.020 --> 01:11:03.260
Geoff: I'm also there now.
01:11:03.840 --> 01:11:04.100
Jenn: Yeah.
01:11:04.100 --> 01:11:05.300
Geoff: Just kind of in a puddle.
01:11:06.320 --> 01:11:16.533
Jenn: She's gonna kind of look at all of you guys and then like flap her wings and fly up and out
01:11:16.533 --> 01:11:21.640
over the battlefield so that I can get within close range.
01:11:21.800 --> 01:11:22.040
Kurt: Okay.
01:11:22.800 --> 01:11:26.960
Jenn: Now, whose instruments are still functional?
01:11:27.560 --> 01:11:33.380
Kurt: The fiddle, the brass, the vocalist.
01:11:33.380 --> 01:11:34.400
Geoff: I only damage the drum. ,
01:11:34.600 --> 01:11:36.680
Jenn: Well, the vocalist is vulnerable.
01:11:37.420 --> 01:11:41.300
Kurt: They could still sing if they wanted to, but they've just been humiliated,
01:11:41.440 --> 01:11:43.680
so they really don't want to.
01:11:43.880 --> 01:11:50.860
So they are there just kind of like the Eight Mile when like he goes to rap, but he can't.
01:11:50.940 --> 01:11:52.560
So he just kind of like just chokes.
01:11:52.820 --> 01:11:55.100
Jenn: So they're just standing there with like spaghetti on their shirt.
01:11:55.300 --> 01:11:56.340
Yeah, I gotcha.
01:11:55.740 --> 01:11:56.940
Chuckles
01:11:56.340 --> 01:11:59.410
Kevin: The trumpet was powering up an
01:11:59.410 --> 01:11:59.740
attack.
01:11:59.740 --> 01:12:06.200
Jenn: Okay. All right. So I have a question with the instruments.
01:12:06.200 --> 01:12:09.720
So like with the drum, he was able to like pierce the drum.
01:12:10.720 --> 01:12:18.060
Is there a way to attack the instruments? Or do you have to attack the person?
01:12:18.280 --> 01:12:24.599
Kurt: You can. so if it's a spell that requires a target , or like a creature then it has to be a
01:12:24.599 --> 01:12:25.160
person, but-
01:12:25.700 --> 01:12:28.280
Jenn: Well, so I was going to use my whip-
01:12:28.640 --> 01:12:28.960
Kurt: Okay.
01:12:29.640 --> 01:12:34.020
Jenn: -to like whip the instrument
01:12:34.360 --> 01:12:35.620
basically out of his hands
01:12:36.500 --> 01:12:42.882
and if possible whip it and knock it into, down into the pit.
01:12:42.882 --> 01:12:46.900
Kurt: The pit? Okay. Yeah. Go ahead and make your attack roll for your whip.
01:12:46.900 --> 01:12:48.767
Jenn: A crit!
01:12:48.167 --> 01:12:49.367
Glitz sound
01:12:48.767 --> 01:12:49.700
John: Nice!
01:12:49.700 --> 01:12:54.820
Kurt: Hey! That's y'all's first crit for the night, right?
01:12:54.840 --> 01:12:55.180
John: I know.
01:12:55.380 --> 01:12:56.460
Kai: That's the first one. Yeah.
01:12:56.720 --> 01:12:57.460
Kevin: And it was double 12s.
01:12:57.460 --> 01:12:58.240
Kurt: In two episodes.
01:12:58.260 --> 01:12:58.980
Jenn: Yeah, it was double 12s, too.
01:12:58.980 --> 01:13:00.920
Kurt: I don't think y'all crit last episode either.
01:13:01.320 --> 01:13:03.700
Oh, two 12s. That's like, that should be like a super crit.
01:13:03.700 --> 01:13:04.340
Kevin: It's an uber crit.
01:13:04.340 --> 01:13:04.920
Jenn: God, right?
01:13:05.920 --> 01:13:08.260
Kurt: Sweet. All right. This is your moment to tell.
01:13:08.360 --> 01:13:10.607
Jenn: So, like I said, I mean-
01:13:10.607 --> 01:13:10.928
Kai: Clear a stress mark a hope.
01:13:10.928 --> 01:13:15.100
Kenn- she's basically just trying to whip the instrument out of his
01:13:15.100 --> 01:13:20.880
hand. The one that was like, you could tell he was powering it up and just like fling it down into
01:13:20.880 --> 01:13:26.140
the pit, right under everybody's feet where they're scuffling and stuff, you know?
01:13:27.081 --> 01:13:31.300
And she kind of looks at the guy and goes like this at him.
01:13:32.000 --> 01:13:38.900
Kurt: And he stops as the trumpet gets ripped out of his hands.
01:13:38.900 --> 01:13:39.520
Trumper blares, whip smacks, trumpet cuts off.
01:13:39.520 --> 01:13:43.640
Kurt: And (Schkupt) kind of falls down on the ground. And the magic was primed.
01:13:43.720 --> 01:13:51.900
The magic goes off (tzzmp). As this rocket of like the mute of the trumpet goes like (fft)
01:13:52.420 --> 01:13:54.100
almost like an RPG.
01:13:53.420 --> 01:13:54.620
Laughter
01:13:53.940 --> 01:13:56.620
Kurt: It just like screams out of this thing.
01:13:57.480 --> 01:13:59.776
I'm going to say it hits. I
01:13:59.776 --> 01:14:02.680
mean, that's almost the perfect line for those Galapagos right there.
01:14:02.780 --> 01:14:05.300
It just (doof doof doof) hits those Galapas (kapoof).
01:14:05.940 --> 01:14:07.880
Geoff: Man, those poor young turtles.
01:14:08.080 --> 01:14:09.520
Kurt: That one was-
01:14:09.520 --> 01:14:13.360
Kai: Those above tween but not yet twenty turtles.
01:14:13.580 --> 01:14:14.020
Jenn: Yeah.
01:14:14.020 --> 01:14:16.020
Laughter
01:14:18.660 --> 01:14:23.140
Kurt: Both of those Galapas get knocked unconscious right in the line.
01:14:23.260 --> 01:14:24.900
So the closest to you, Geoff,
01:14:24.900 --> 01:14:32.620
yeah. So (boonk) as they (doof doof) get hit, you see the other Galapagos are kind of standing there,
01:14:32.660 --> 01:14:34.060
kind of looking wide-eyed.
01:14:34.060 --> 01:14:34.840
Kai: I want to do something.
01:14:35.020 --> 01:14:35.980
Kurt: Yeah, please do.
01:14:36.564 --> 01:14:38.940
Kai: Ignoring the turtle that just tried to attack me.
01:14:39.300 --> 01:14:45.474
I want to look at the frog in the corner and pick up the tongue that I cut off and then
01:14:45.474 --> 01:14:48.280
just like scarf it down in front of him.
01:14:48.280 --> 01:14:48.880
Try to intimidate him.
01:14:48.763 --> 01:14:49.200
John: Oh, I knew that was coming.
01:14:49.200 --> 01:14:49.940
Jenn: Mmhmm.
01:14:49.940 --> 01:14:51.340
Kurt: Like suck it up like a noodle.
01:14:51.340 --> 01:14:51.580
Kai: Mmhmm.
01:14:51.340 --> 01:14:52.152
Laughter
01:14:51.523 --> 01:14:57.360
Geoff: Like Lady and the Tramp this guy's tongue.
01:14:57.500 --> 01:14:58.920
Kai: Can I try to make an intimidation roll?
01:14:59.100 --> 01:15:02.780
Kurt: Absolutely. What is a…I guess that would be a presence?
01:15:02.540 --> 01:15:03.863
Kai: Yeah, presence which I’m not very good at.
01:15:04.280 --> 01:15:06.120
Oh, I can use my bardic inspiration die.
01:15:06.120 --> 01:15:06.360
Kurt: Sweet.
01:15:06.540 --> 01:15:07.320
Kai: Whatever that's called.
01:15:07.700 --> 01:15:08.320
Kurt: Rally die.
01:15:08.320 --> 01:15:10.640
John: If you crit this, I'm walking out.
01:15:10.640 --> 01:15:12.900
Luke: Legally distinct from bardic Inspiration.
01:15:13.404 --> 01:15:14.100
John: You got it.
01:15:14.280 --> 01:15:15.120
Kai: 20 with hope.
01:15:15.340 --> 01:15:15.740
Jenn: Nice!
01:15:15.740 --> 01:15:16.280
Crowd cheers in background.
01:15:16.280 --> 01:15:18.633
Kurt: 20 with hope. Nice. Getting
01:15:18.633 --> 01:15:20.560
that hope back as the shaman is kind of like-
01:15:20.560 --> 01:15:22.000
Kia: And I'm taking a slayer die instead of hope.
01:15:22.340 --> 01:15:26.820
Kurt: -the ribbit shaman kind of stops as he's kind of like, looks like he's preparing for a spell.
01:15:27.111 --> 01:15:31.480
He's like, he's got the trinkets or like bobbles of glass around him.
01:15:31.500 --> 01:15:34.240
He looks like he's frantically trying to pull one.
01:15:34.500 --> 01:15:39.965
He's getting ready to lob as he looks at you, goes (Hmpph dry heaving),
01:15:39.965 --> 01:15:43.358
stops and like holds his mouth a little bit and
01:15:45.212 --> 01:15:50.208
puts his arm down. Looks down at the his friend on the floor,
01:15:50.520 --> 01:15:53.860
holding his mouth, just like not having a good day.
01:15:54.499 --> 01:16:00.940
As he's like screaming in pain, he kind of stops and kind of looks around, takes the
01:16:00.940 --> 01:16:07.320
bobble, throws it. Looks like it is going to miss you completely, but it hits the galapa that
01:16:07.240 --> 01:16:16.140
is right beside you. It shatters on his face and looks like a puff of some
01:16:16.140 --> 01:16:21.780
type of acid or magical effect.
01:16:22.551 --> 01:16:27.780
That galapa kind of stops, kneels down and kind of like falls down on
01:16:27.780 --> 01:16:32.120
his back (group giggles from Kurt’s motions) and he's like flailing a little bit on his back.
01:16:32.240 --> 01:16:32.920
Kai: He's on his shell.
01:16:33.060 --> 01:16:34.080
Kurt: Yeah, he's on his shell.
01:16:34.200 --> 01:16:37.480
Looks like there's just one Galapagos left.
01:16:37.700 --> 01:16:39.380
Kia: Do I get the idea that he wants to stay in the fight,
01:16:39.460 --> 01:16:39.800
the frog?
01:16:40.100 --> 01:16:40.340
Kurt: Yeah.
01:16:40.900 --> 01:16:42.120
Kai: Okay, I'll charge for him then.
01:16:42.120 --> 01:16:42.740
Laughter
01:16:42.740 --> 01:16:43.420
Geoff: Oh no!
01:16:43.540 --> 01:16:44.560
Kai: Since that wasn't enough.
01:16:44.740 --> 01:16:46.180
Geoff: That didn't do the trick, I guess.
01:16:46.420 --> 01:16:50.800
John: You should stick the ribbit tongue in and out of your mouth as you're charging him.
01:16:50.800 --> 01:16:52.347
Mix of laughter and ews.
01:16:52.347 --> 01:16:54.400
Geoff: That's crazy.
01:16:55.300 --> 01:16:56.440
Jenn: Like a gummy worm.
01:16:56.440 --> 01:16:57.100
Laughter
01:16:57.100 --> 01:16:59.600
Kai: 18 with fear.
01:16:59.920 --> 01:17:01.060
Kurt: 18 with fear.
01:17:01.080 --> 01:17:01.600
Kai: Back to that.
01:17:02.160 --> 01:17:02.560
Kurt: That hits.
01:17:03.202 --> 01:17:05.420
Kai: I'm going to use my slayer die on my damage.
01:17:05.440 --> 01:17:08.213
John: Do you have enough? Never mind.
01:17:08.213 --> 01:17:09.680
Kai: 15 damage.
01:17:10.220 --> 01:17:13.040
Kurt: : Okay, that is major damage.
01:17:13.480 --> 01:17:16.180
As you run at him (doof), he gets hit.
01:17:16.680 --> 01:17:17.480
All right, you roll fear.
01:17:17.560 --> 01:17:18.620
I don't need to spend two to interrupt.
01:17:18.740 --> 01:17:22.480
So I will spend a fear to spotlight him.
01:17:22.680 --> 01:17:26.640
He is going to use his magical ability.
01:17:27.240 --> 01:17:30.600
Yeah, so he is going to use his arcane blast.
01:17:30.840 --> 01:17:31.920
Kind of like steps in.
01:17:32.020 --> 01:17:37.300
He takes off one of his little baubles, pushes it, and (chachum) slams it against your chest.
01:17:37.800 --> 01:17:39.680
He does not like you being so close.
01:17:39.820 --> 01:17:43.260
He likes being ranged. 17 against your evasion.
01:17:43.360 --> 01:17:43.760
Kai: That hits.
01:17:44.140 --> 01:17:48.220
Kurt: Arcane Blast. 19 points of magic damage.
01:17:48.800 --> 01:17:52.440
Kai: Okay, that's going to break my armor, and I'm at one hit point.
01:17:53.070 --> 01:18:01.260
Kurt: Everybody's like ‘Ahhhhhh!’ (crowd yelling in background) with just the cacophony of violence going around. I will continue
01:18:01.260 --> 01:18:08.500
to activate the galapas. The galapa looks around, looks at his brothers that are down,
01:18:08.827 --> 01:18:11.440
picks up his sticks on the chain.
01:18:10.840 --> 01:18:12.040
Laughter
01:18:11.440 --> 01:18:16.180
Kai: Sticks on the chain.
01:18:16.180 --> 01:18:22.420
Kurt: And runs at you guys, slides in, goes in for an
01:18:22.420 --> 01:18:25.246
attack. And I'm going to say against-
01:18:25.624 --> 01:18:29.400
Jenn: So does he yell, ‘bovine dude’ as he runs across?
01:18:29.400 --> 01:18:29.720
Kurt: Yes, he goes;
01:18:29.720 --> 01:18:30.840
Galapagos Fighter (Kurt, California accent): Bovine dude!
01:18:31.940 --> 01:18:35.060
Kurt: 20, he attacks the shaman. 1,
01:18:35.060 --> 01:18:38.880
he attacks Severian. That's a 20.
01:18:39.380 --> 01:18:39.940
John: Thank god.
01:18:40.320 --> 01:18:47.560
Kurt: 20 as he kind of runs around, kind of like jumps in, uses his foot to plant (pfft), slams down,
01:18:47.660 --> 01:18:51.520
goes in for an attack against the shaman homie.
01:18:51.700 --> 01:18:54.540
It's a natural 19. That hits this guy.
01:18:54.700 --> 01:18:59.100
He goes (dooh dooh dumph), slams down on this guy with your damage that you did to him.
01:18:59.220 --> 01:19:05.120
This guy, the shaman, the sticks kind of like smack this dude right on the head (dmmpfff).
01:19:05.670 --> 01:19:10.740
And he like kind of slams down as he stops, picks himself up.
01:19:10.820 --> 01:19:17.220
He adjusts his very burnt orange mask.
01:19:16.620 --> 01:19:17.820
Laugher
01:19:17.220 --> 01:19:20.690
Kurt: Looks at you. He goes, it's just you and goes:
01:19:20.370 --> 01:19:22.320
Galapagos Fighter (Kurt, California accent): Just you and me, dude.
01:19:22.440 --> 01:19:23.920
Severian (Kai): It's about to be just me.
01:19:25.620 --> 01:19:27.700
Kurt: Chuckles. Does anybody else want a spotlight at this moment?
01:19:27.860 --> 01:19:28.100
Jenn: Yes.
01:19:28.160 --> 01:19:28.420
Kurt: Okay.
01:19:28.800 --> 01:19:34.020
Jenn: So as I kind of see, I saw Kua pretty hurt.
01:19:34.440 --> 01:19:40.900
I can tell that my friend down in the pit is also looking like he's taking a couple of hits.
01:19:41.220 --> 01:19:51.320
So I'm going to change my song. And it starts to be more like a little more mellow sounding
01:19:51.800 --> 01:20:05.140
and I'm now singing about like the triumphant warrior in the pit who… who is, you know, stopped all these foes.
01:20:05.640 --> 01:20:11.641
One man against so many, you know? And the brave goat
01:20:11.641 --> 01:20:15.460
Kua (Geoff, sadly): I was in the pit.
01:20:15.560 --> 01:20:16.580
I did the pit.
01:20:16.580 --> 01:20:17.303
Jenn: Yeah!
01:20:16.703 --> 01:20:17.903
Laughter
01:20:17.303 --> 01:20:18.800
Kurt: For one second.
01:20:19.660 --> 01:20:25.980
Jenn: The brave goat who leapt so far across, and, ya know-
01:20:26.200 --> 01:20:27.820
Geoff: Of his own volition, he leapt in.
01:20:28.160 --> 01:20:28.780
Jenn: Yeah, he did.
01:20:28.780 --> 01:20:30.240
Chuckles
01:20:30.240 --> 01:20:35.780
Jenn: And any allies who need it can get one hit point back.
01:20:36.100 --> 01:20:37.360
Geoff: I do need it. Thank you.
01:20:37.560 --> 01:20:37.840
Kai: Yes.
01:20:39.140 --> 01:20:40.220
Geoff: I thank you very much.
01:20:41.100 --> 01:20:45.640
Kurt: Okay. What is…. What's Ciaran doing during all this?
01:20:45.640 --> 01:20:51.853
Luke: He’s been kind of waiting at the edge of the fight pit, just ready to jump in and just sneak a
01:20:51.853 --> 01:20:54.220
blow in there to make sure Severian wins.
01:20:54.640 --> 01:21:02.000
Seeing that he kind of has this in hand, especially with the bolster from Seraphina,
01:21:02.700 --> 01:21:07.920
I'm looking at this other band who's done a little bit too much to my allies.
01:21:08.840 --> 01:21:13.660
And, you know, it's just, I think it's time to take them down a notch.
01:21:14.371 --> 01:21:18.720
And I'll do exactly what I plan to do in the pit on them.
01:21:19.440 --> 01:21:19.800
Kurt: Okay. Chuckles
01:21:21.180 --> 01:21:24.260
Jenn: So you're going to shadow step behind them and pants all of them?
01:21:24.260 --> 01:21:25.120
Laughter
01:21:25.120 --> 01:21:26.200
Luke: Something like that.
01:21:26.420 --> 01:21:30.620
Kai: Pants all of them, but instead of their pants coming down, it's daggers going through their body.
01:21:31.380 --> 01:21:31.820
Kurt: Yeah.
01:21:32.580 --> 01:21:37.860
Like: I'm going to shadow step in their midst, behind the shadow of the singer, let's say,
01:21:39.329 --> 01:21:41.260
who I assume is in kind of the middle of all of them.
01:21:41.280 --> 01:21:48.618
Kurt: Yeah, and there's a lot of shadows around here because most of the lights have been extinguished by our Basagar fire
01:21:48.618 --> 01:21:49.098
dog, fire wolf.
01:21:48.938 --> 01:21:49.580
Geoff: Fire wolf!
01:21:50.480 --> 01:21:57.783
Luke: I'm going to spend two hope to first, one to activate Reign of Blades and the other to activate my experience,
01:21:58.148 --> 01:22:03.260
Shadow Prince, as I'm manipulating their own shadows into stabbing them and their instruments.
01:22:03.520 --> 01:22:04.840
And why not their pants?
01:22:04.840 --> 01:22:06.120
Because it says all targets.
01:22:06.120 --> 01:22:08.120
Laughter
01:22:09.540 --> 01:22:10.020
Kurt: Okay.
01:22:10.620 --> 01:22:11.580
Luke: 15 with hope.
01:22:12.353 --> 01:22:19.554
Kurt: You succeed in your endeavors as you shadow step in the midst of the Iron Strings, or what's left on the
01:22:19.554 --> 01:22:23.100
Iron Strings. The brass player has lost his trumpet.
01:22:23.620 --> 01:22:30.280
The bass- the war drummer has a non-functioning drum at the moment.
01:22:31.098 --> 01:22:38.121
The lyre is kind of like just like locked up in the player's arms by the wood from the entangle from
01:22:38.121 --> 01:22:44.180
Pi N'kuwa. Looks like the only instrument left is the fiddle, but she's still restrained.
01:22:44.860 --> 01:22:50.700
And the vocalist who is just trying to get her nerve up, just can't seem to get it.
01:22:50.940 --> 01:22:52.410
Kevin: The vocalist is still vulnerable, isn’t
01:22:52.410 --> 01:22:52.650
she?
01:22:52.540 --> 01:22:52.900
Kurt: Yes.
01:22:53.080 --> 01:22:54.660
Luke: So I will deal extra damage to her.
01:22:54.900 --> 01:22:55.140
Kevin: Yeah!
01:22:56.200 --> 01:22:59.840
Luke: I will spend my rally dice on this, and I will also have sneak attack damage on this. (Group chuckles, impressed)
01:23:02.240 --> 01:23:05.200
And this will hit all of them and their instruments.
01:23:05.640 --> 01:23:06.040
Kurt: Nice.
01:23:06.420 --> 01:23:07.260
Jenn: And their pants.
01:23:07.440 --> 01:23:08.020
Kurt, in agreement: And their pants.
01:23:08.020 --> 01:23:13.800
Luke: So that's only eight magic damage against most of them.
01:23:13.960 --> 01:23:14.300
Kurt: Okay.
01:23:14.300 --> 01:23:17.080
Luke: I rolled a five. So thirteen on the singer
01:23:17.720 --> 01:23:19.120
and eight on everything else.
01:23:19.220 --> 01:23:22.140
Kurt: Their belts don't weirdly withstand that much damage.
01:23:22.140 --> 01:23:26.980
You do end up pants-ing the whole band as they take damage.
01:23:27.100 --> 01:23:27.340
Luke: Oops.
01:23:27.680 --> 01:23:34.840
Kurt: That is enough to halt them as the instruments kind of cease to play.
01:23:35.000 --> 01:23:38.000
The only instruments left playing now are the pickle.
01:23:38.938 --> 01:23:43.700
You just hear this odd little pickle solo and the beautiful vocals from
01:23:43.700 --> 01:23:47.820
Seraphina and the pounding. Well, I guess you're not pounding anymore.
01:23:47.220 --> 01:23:48.420
Laughter
01:23:47.820 --> 01:23:50.280
Geoff: Very weakly from the side of the stage at this point.
01:23:50.400 --> 01:23:54.320
Now that I got healed up a little bit, I'm just like laying on the ground and like trying
01:23:54.320 --> 01:23:57.040
to pound on the stands right next to me,
01:23:57.160 --> 01:23:57.400
like;
01:23:57.313 --> 01:23:58.540
Kua (Geoff, weakly) : Come on, keep the beat up!
01:23:58.540 --> 01:24:04.960
Luke: Before anyone can really realize what's happening in the flickering light, my disguise will
01:24:04.960 --> 01:24:08.060
fade away as I shadow step off stage-
01:24:08.060 --> 01:24:08.300
Kevin: Nice!
01:24:08.100 --> 01:24:09.660
Luke: -and shadow step back into the crowd.
01:24:09.660 --> 01:24:13.120
Kurt: They’re all looking around. They're all, like their pants, everybody starts laughing
01:24:13.120 --> 01:24:16.800
at them. (crowd laughing in background) Kind of pointing and laughing which is probably the biggest humiliation.
01:24:16.960 --> 01:24:21.660
They stop, they look around, and they look at everybody
01:24:21.660 --> 01:24:27.760
they look at you guys. And the base drummer, the bassist the and the ones that
01:24:27.760 --> 01:24:30.700
aren't restrained run off the stage.
01:24:30.700 --> 01:24:38.420
Kevin: Zeph, seeing this across the way, yells out as Ciaran melts into the shadow
01:24:38.640 --> 01:24:41.340
Zeph (Kevin): About fucking time! Jesus.
01:24:41.340 --> 01:24:43.340
Laughter
01:24:44.860 --> 01:24:45.420
Kurt: Okay.
01:24:46.860 --> 01:24:50.780
Geoff: With them stopped playing, in that like moment of silence,
01:24:50.960 --> 01:24:52.640
I'll start a slow clap.
01:24:53.160 --> 01:25:00.583
Kurt: Nice. As you do that, I'm going to spend my last fear to activate the burnt orange clad
01:25:01.887 --> 01:25:11.893
young Galapas in a, I’m going to say this guy is-
01:25:11.309 --> 01:25:11.559
Geoff: Fighting this mutant.
01:25:11.559 --> 01:25:12.310
Kai: Does he look like a mutant? I don’t know.
01:25:12.310 --> 01:25:12.560
Kurt: No, you do.
01:25:12.310 --> 01:25:12.826
Laughter.
01:25:12.310 --> 01:25:18.320
Kurt: Probably in a three-quarter shell. It brings his
01:25:18.080 --> 01:25:19.760
Kevin: He brought a pizza to yield.
01:25:19.760 --> 01:25:21.190
Severian (Kai): What’s pizza?
01:25:21.190 --> 01:25:28.560
Kurt: He kind of stops and he goes in for his attack.
01:25:29.580 --> 01:25:36.080
That's going to miss as you catch his chained stick.
01:25:36.080 --> 01:25:37.280
Kai: You had me worried.
01:25:37.280 --> 01:25:39.280
Laughter
01:25:40.146 --> 01:25:40.677
Kurt: He goes;
01:25:40.943 --> 01:25:43.020
Galapagos Fighter (Kurt, California accent): Oh no, bro. It's totally not cool, bro.
01:25:46.760 --> 01:25:48.160
Kurt: Now you can go.
01:25:48.160 --> 01:25:51.080
Geoff: And I'm going to keep crescendoing that slow clap.
01:25:52.575 --> 01:25:55.380
Kai: I'm spending both of my hopes to use both of my experiences.
01:25:55.380 --> 01:25:57.180
I have one, Whatever It Takes,
01:25:57.180 --> 01:25:58.540
and the other one's Not Dead Yet,
01:25:58.540 --> 01:25:59.660
because I'm on the brink of death.
01:25:59.800 --> 01:26:00.180
Kurt: Yeah.
01:26:01.220 --> 01:26:01.620
Kai: Crit.
01:26:01.220 --> 01:26:02.220
Glitz crit sound
01:26:01.220 --> 01:26:02.820
Crowd begins synchonized stomping in background, slowly getting faster and faster
01:26:01.620 --> 01:26:02.980
Kurt: Ohhhhh!
01:26:02.980 --> 01:26:05.260
GrouPi N'kuwa (Geoff): Yes. Yay! Woo!
01:26:05.260 --> 01:26:06.080
Kai: Double ones.
01:26:06.440 --> 01:26:08.420
Kurt: Nice. That is like the best crit.
01:26:08.560 --> 01:26:09.540
Kai: That's awesome. Okay.
01:26:09.760 --> 01:26:10.060
Kurt: Sweet.
01:26:10.300 --> 01:26:10.740
John: Amazing.
01:26:11.300 --> 01:26:11.840
Kai: What do I do?
01:26:12.500 --> 01:26:15.380
Jenn: You get a hope and you clear stress.
01:26:16.220 --> 01:26:16.880
Kai: Okay, that's awesome.
01:26:17.680 --> 01:26:22.200
Kurt: Brutal damage, so whatever damage you do, max damage, then roll again.
01:26:22.300 --> 01:26:24.160
Yep, Bruticles. Jenn: Bruticles?
01:26:24.540 --> 01:26:24.940
Kevin: Bruticles.
01:26:25.440 --> 01:26:29.020
Kai: As I just rolled with hope, I'm also going to use a Slayer.
01:26:29.840 --> 01:26:31.760
Kevin: Or throw it on the floor.
01:26:32.100 --> 01:26:32.960
That works, too.
01:26:33.380 --> 01:26:33.700
Kurt: Boom.
01:26:34.680 --> 01:26:36.500
Kai: That's the sound of this Galapagos opening.
01:26:39.960 --> 01:26:40.440
26?
01:26:40.440 --> 01:26:42.440
Oooohs and dangs!
01:26:42.840 --> 01:26:46.100
Kurt: Yeah, that is severe damage to that bro galapa.
01:26:46.840 --> 01:26:48.680
Narratively describe your victory.
01:26:49.420 --> 01:26:57.940
Kai: Yeah, so I catch his sticks on chains and break the chain, follow through directly into his body.
01:26:58.020 --> 01:26:59.320
I'm not trying to kill him.
01:26:59.500 --> 01:27:02.100
You know, I wasn't- Oh, am I killing him?
01:27:01.550 --> 01:27:02.750
Laughter
01:27:02.200 --> 01:27:02.700
Kurt: Oh, yeah.
01:27:04.780 --> 01:27:07.560
Kai: Then, yeah, I just don't know my own strength and just go straight through him.
01:27:07.560 --> 01:27:08.980
Geoff: You weren't trying, but you did.
01:27:09.100 --> 01:27:09.340
Kai: Yeah.
01:27:09.720 --> 01:27:10.620
John: You just succeeded.
01:27:11.220 --> 01:27:13.820
Kai: Yeah, I just completely cleaved in half.
01:27:15.160 --> 01:27:18.160
Kurt: You hear the crowd erupt in roar,
01:27:18.360 --> 01:27:26.705
the bloodshed (crowd cheering in background). The rest of the contenders that are not eliminated are rolling around in either
01:27:26.705 --> 01:27:32.460
unconsciousness or just not willing to get up to compete again.
01:27:32.960 --> 01:27:35.580
Syl steps down and goes;
01:27:35.580 --> 01:27:38.200
Sil (Kurt, amplified megaphone voice): Fine folks of the Rusted…
01:27:38.500 --> 01:27:39.900
Geoff: The Rusted Piper.
01:27:39.900 --> 01:27:42.780
Kurt: Thank you. I had it in my head,
01:27:42.940 --> 01:27:47.200
and then as soon as I started, it was just like, nope, we're just going to forget everything.
01:27:47.400 --> 01:27:49.500
Jenn: I love that he gets down there and he's like, I don't even know where I work.
01:27:49.500 --> 01:27:50.920
Kurt: I don't even know what this place is.
01:27:51.560 --> 01:27:53.780
He's been... Sil’s probably had too many concussions,
01:27:54.100 --> 01:27:55.300
so maybe that's what I'll blame you on.
01:27:56.680 --> 01:27:58.160
Geoff: The Rusted... Where the fuck am I?
01:27:58.360 --> 01:27:58.740
Piper!
01:28:00.260 --> 01:28:02.180
Sil (Kurt, amplified megaphone voice): Fine folks of the Rusted Piper,
01:28:02.820 --> 01:28:07.260
may I present to you the winner of tonight's extravaganza!
01:28:07.980 --> 01:28:11.400
Not only down in the fighting pit, but on the stage as well.
01:28:11.860 --> 01:28:13.740
Seraphina and her Warriors!
01:28:13.740 --> 01:28:14.260
Crowd cheering continues
01:28:14.260 --> 01:28:19.580
Kurt: The crowd (Rahhhh!) go in a mayhem.
01:28:19.720 --> 01:28:23.760
They start (boof boof boom) just like slamming on the door. It's
01:28:23.760 --> 01:28:27.540
like it is a cacophony of applause.
01:28:28.160 --> 01:28:35.680
It is a glorious moment as you see what looks like flowers and stuff and like different things
01:28:35.680 --> 01:28:38.120
get thrown down into the pit and onto the stage.
01:28:38.580 --> 01:28:40.580
And Sil kind of climbs down.
01:28:41.020 --> 01:28:42.588
He looks up and goes;
01:28:42.588 --> 01:28:47.100
Sil (Kurt, amplified megaphone voice): Korga, would you provide our winners with their winnings, please.
01:28:47.380 --> 01:28:51.720
Kurt: Korga goes, kind of steps down from the side booth.
01:28:52.120 --> 01:28:55.760
Looks like he's got what looks like a chest of stuff.
01:28:56.320 --> 01:29:01.880
Sil (Kurt, amplified megaphone voice): Yes, to the winners of tonight's battle ballad,
01:29:02.580 --> 01:29:07.080
Seraphina and the Warriors. Remember to tip your waitresses.
01:29:07.440 --> 01:29:09.220
Go to the bookie and earn your winnings.
01:29:09.320 --> 01:29:15.000
Pay your debts. For tonight was a showcase of talent.
01:29:16.380 --> 01:29:23.160
Kurt: Everybody kind of cheers and laughs as he goes over and hands you the chest that he is carrying.
01:29:23.780 --> 01:29:27.580
Sil (Kurt): Well earned, my odd friend.
01:29:28.320 --> 01:29:29.480
Severian (Kai): Are there more people to fight?
01:29:30.200 --> 01:29:31.440
Sil (Kurt): Not this night.
01:29:32.960 --> 01:29:36.740
Kai: I kind of like wave at you guys on the stage and I'm like pointing to all the bodies.
01:29:36.740 --> 01:29:37.680
Laugher
01:29:37.680 --> 01:29:39.960
Severian (Kai): Hey, I did this. You see this?
01:29:39.960 --> 01:29:40.980
This one was cool. Chuckles
01:29:42.160 --> 01:29:46.220
Kurt: You have a chest full with your winnings of a couple things,
01:29:46.480 --> 01:29:50.220
but as a whole with your bet, how much did you just bet a handful?
01:29:50.940 --> 01:29:54.020
Luke: I bet Sevarian's handful and my two handfuls.
01:29:54.160 --> 01:29:58.100
Kurt: Okay. So you double your earnings.
01:29:58.100 --> 01:29:58.393
John: Nice.
01:29:58.393 --> 01:29:58.980
Geoff: Well done!
01:29:58.980 --> 01:30:00.540
Kurt: So you get two handfuls back.
01:30:00.620 --> 01:30:01.420
You get four handfuls.
01:30:01.420 --> 01:30:02.420
Luke: I'll give Severian one of them.
01:30:02.700 --> 01:30:03.600
So we're both at three.
01:30:03.600 --> 01:30:04.940
KurtL Both have three handfuls.
01:30:06.020 --> 01:30:08.120
In the chest if you so open it.
01:30:08.200 --> 01:30:09.620
I'm not going to force you to open it,
01:30:09.760 --> 01:30:12.820
but let me know when you do and I'll let you know what's in it.
01:30:12.880 --> 01:30:13.900
Kai: And we'll open it in secret.
01:30:13.900 --> 01:30:14.260
Jenn: Mmhmm.
01:30:14.260 --> 01:30:14.500
Kurt: Okay.
01:30:14.860 --> 01:30:16.900
Kevin: Not in front of the entire crowd.
01:30:17.460 --> 01:30:18.440
Geoff: Back in the green room.
01:30:19.220 --> 01:30:25.960
Kurt: Okay. But yeah, people start coming out and collecting the injured and things of that nature.
01:30:26.567 --> 01:30:34.260
You have won the battle of the ballads here at the Rusted Piper for a super late entry.
01:30:35.060 --> 01:30:38.920
Humiliated the Iron Strings in their home turf.
01:30:39.380 --> 01:30:42.380
Upstaged them. Upstaged the pit.
01:30:42.620 --> 01:30:42.940
Everything.
01:30:43.460 --> 01:30:44.680
Severian (Kai): That was so sick, guys.
01:30:45.620 --> 01:30:47.400
Zeph (Kevin): Yeah. I need a drink.
01:30:49.000 --> 01:30:51.420
Prince Wilhelm (Kurt): I could get used to this.
01:30:51.580 --> 01:30:54.400
I've never really performed in front of so many people before.
01:30:55.420 --> 01:30:58.340
Ciaran (Luke): Well, if you'd like to impress Angelica, you should get used to it.
01:30:59.540 --> 01:31:02.340
Prince Wilhelm (Kurt): You know what? Maybe we should start a band.
01:31:02.960 --> 01:31:03.820
Basagar (John): Absolutely not.
01:31:03.820 --> 01:31:04.880
Laughter
01:31:04.880 --> 01:31:06.020
John: Still in wolf form.
01:31:06.220 --> 01:31:09.340
Ciaran (Luke): You do have to return that pickle.
01:31:10.320 --> 01:31:11.340
Prince Wilhelm (Kurt): Oh, right.
01:31:12.200 --> 01:31:13.651
Kurt: He hands it to, well-
01:31:13.651 --> 01:31:14.680
Prince Wilhelm (Kurt): You didn't give it to me.
01:31:15.500 --> 01:31:16.800
Ciaran (Luke): I'll take it back to the owner.
01:31:17.240 --> 01:31:19.380
Prince Wilhelm (Kurt): Okay. Do you know where the guy that gave it to you is?
01:31:19.380 --> 01:31:19.700
Ciaran (Luke): Yes.
01:31:21.460 --> 01:31:23.360
Prince Wilhelm (Kurt): Okay. All right.
01:31:23.980 --> 01:31:24.620
Kurt: Hands it to you.
01:31:24.660 --> 01:31:26.220
Prince Wilhelm (Kurt): I'm trusting you on this.
01:31:27.640 --> 01:31:31.020
Kurt: As you, he kind of looks up.
01:31:31.020 --> 01:31:31.500
Geoff (Whispers): Shades away.
01:31:31.500 --> 01:31:34.560
Kurt: You see Wilhelm kind of like cock his head a little bit.
01:31:34.700 --> 01:31:36.900
Kind of like stops, shakes his head.
01:31:37.480 --> 01:31:38.860
Prince Wilhelm (Kurt): Do you know them?
01:31:39.540 --> 01:31:42.062
Kurt: Is kind of leaning over to you (referencing Ciaran)
01:31:42.062 --> 01:31:43.300
as, before you take off,
01:31:43.660 --> 01:31:48.682
you look up and there's a couple people standing in the stands that are one of the few that are just
01:31:48.682 --> 01:31:51.300
standing there instead of cheering, or talking,
01:31:51.300 --> 01:31:53.860
high-fiving each other. They kind of like look
01:31:53.860 --> 01:32:00.840
and they are wearing dark cloaks with golden trimmed roping and and things of that
01:32:01.480 --> 01:32:04.200
and just garb of of some sorts.
01:32:04.460 --> 01:32:06.460
But they have their hoods down
01:32:06.920 --> 01:32:09.200
but as soon as you look up,
01:32:09.200 --> 01:32:10.700
they put their cloaks up.
01:32:10.900 --> 01:32:17.980
Stop. They are wearing the hoods and the cloaks of one of the Ashen Rings (connection bell
01:32:17.980 --> 01:32:18.220
dings).
01:32:18.200 --> 01:32:21.040
Luke: Is it possible to tell which of them or simply?
01:32:21.980 --> 01:32:25.700
Kurt: It's a little too chaotic to tell which one they are.
01:32:26.040 --> 01:32:26.280
Luke: Okay.
01:32:26.240 --> 01:32:30.540
Kurt: But you can tell there are two of the Ashen Rings there.
01:32:30.920 --> 01:32:34.620
One short, stocky, and one
01:32:35.120 --> 01:32:38.844
kind of taller. They head out, they
01:32:38.844 --> 01:32:40.920
kind of turn around and walk out.
01:32:42.180 --> 01:32:44.380
But you guys can make your way up to the green room.
01:32:45.520 --> 01:32:50.700
Geoff: How long are we in there before somebody reminds me that I have the two band members entangled.
01:32:50.700 --> 01:32:52.700
Laughter.
01:32:53.600 --> 01:32:54.720
Jenn: They'll figure it out.
01:32:55.710 --> 01:32:58.020
Band Members (Kurt): Excuse me! A little help, please!
01:32:58.600 --> 01:33:02.700
John: It cuts to after hours and bars closed.
01:33:03.140 --> 01:33:03.380
Kurt: Yeah.
01:33:03.360 --> 01:33:11.760
Geoff: I figure at some point somebody's like, ‘Did you…? Could you...?’ And I will release them. Kurt:
01:33:11.760 --> 01:33:16.100
Yeah, I guess we can, unless there's anything else that you guys want to do, we can call it there.
01:33:16.240 --> 01:33:17.860
Pick up there next session.
01:33:18.240 --> 01:33:21.140
Feels like a good stopping point.
01:33:21.240 --> 01:33:24.720
I know, sorry I didn't leave you on a super big cliffhanger, but.
01:33:26.280 --> 01:33:28.740
Luke: Two cloaked figures, I think, is enough.
01:33:29.080 --> 01:33:35.060
Kurt: No visions of Basagar. No royal paternity tests.
01:33:35.060 --> 01:33:36.260
Laughter
01:33:36.260 --> 01:33:37.760
Jenn: You are the father.
01:33:38.000 --> 01:33:39.500
Luke: The chest of winnings is the cliffhanger.
01:33:39.620 --> 01:33:39.860
Jenn: Yeah.
01:33:41.080 --> 01:33:48.840
John: Wolf Basagar looks at Ciaran.
01:33:48.840 --> 01:33:49.660
Basagar (John): Blood test?
01:33:49.660 --> 01:33:52.420
Luke: I shadow step away.
01:33:52.420 --> 01:33:53.420
Laughter
01:33:53.420 --> 01:33:55.520
Kurt: I don't know. Make a presence roll.
01:33:56.260 --> 01:33:57.100
Use your Charm.
01:33:57.100 --> 01:33:57.955
Geoff: Use your puppy dog eyes.
01:33:57.950 --> 01:33:58.760
John: Puppy dog eyes, yes!
01:33:58.160 --> 01:33:59.360
Laughter
01:33:58.760 --> 01:33:59.160
Kurt: Yes.
01:33:59.160 --> 01:34:08.160
John: Can I have advantage? I'm actually a wolf, not the dog, but they can still do it.
01:34:08.160 --> 01:34:10.240
You said I have advantage?
01:34:10.700 --> 01:34:13.460
Luke: As I'm cloaked, you have disadvantage.
01:34:13.460 --> 01:34:15.480
John: So close to a crit.
01:34:15.480 --> 01:34:17.980
That's a seven. No wait, presence.
01:34:18.980 --> 01:34:22.030
It's a dirty crit for
01:34:22.030 --> 01:34:23.520
six.
01:34:23.520 --> 01:34:27.700
Luke: That is less than half of my evasion.
01:34:27.700 --> 01:34:29.340
John: It's the wolf form, guys.
01:34:31.060 --> 01:34:32.320
Geoff: It's a little more aggressive.
01:34:32.760 --> 01:34:33.900
John: I'm still on fire.
01:34:35.131 --> 01:34:38.360
Kevin: I do spend my other prayer die to refill my hope all the way.
01:34:38.480 --> 01:34:39.480
Kurt: Wow. Nice.
01:34:39.600 --> 01:34:39.880
Kevin: Before we're done.
01:34:40.060 --> 01:34:43.000
Kai: Severian looks like beat to shit, but you've never seen him happier.
01:34:44.200 --> 01:34:45.160
Kevin: That checks out.
01:34:46.240 --> 01:34:47.180
Kurt: At least he's happy.
01:34:48.040 --> 01:34:50.680

So let's hope our heroes can survive another night.
01:35:33.140 --> 01:35:35.580
Kevin: How about a night? We haven't had a single night yet.
01:35:35.620 --> 01:35:37.400
Kurt: Yeah, I guess we haven't had a single night yet.
01:35:37.500 --> 01:35:38.460
It's just been one day.
01:35:38.560 --> 01:35:43.585
So it is nighttime. So this could be your moment to-
01:35:43.136 --> 01:35:44.035
Kai: That’s insane, I didn’t even realize that.
01:35:43.585 --> 01:35:47.180
Kurt: -bed down and find a place to stay.
01:35:48.360 --> 01:35:56.500
But yeah, until next time, make sure to listen again because the fate of our adventurers is TBD.
01:35:57.100 --> 01:35:57.580
Jenn: Bye.
01:35:58.000 --> 01:35:58.560
John: Bye, everyone.
01:35:58.560 --> 01:35:59.340
Goeff: Buh- bye.
01:36:01.520 --> 01:36:02.540
Kevin: Holy shit.
01:36:02.720 --> 01:36:03.160
Kai: That was awesome.
01:36:03.340 --> 01:36:03.580
Jenn: Yeah.
01:36:05.860 --> 01:36:11.580
Kurt: So, that was a fun, impromptu change of pace.
01:36:11.840 --> 01:36:13.800
Kai: I really thought you were going to kill me with that last roll.
01:36:14.040 --> 01:36:15.000
Well, I will say-
01:36:15.000 --> 01:36:16.660
Kevin: Man, those band instruments were-
01:36:16.700 --> 01:36:17.500
Kurt: Yeah, they're killer.
01:36:20.220 --> 01:36:22.140
Jenn: Also, we're still just level one.
01:36:22.340 --> 01:36:25.680
At least let us level up before you kill us.
01:36:28.620 --> 01:36:29.780
Kai: Horse-a-booyah?
01:36:38.320 --> 01:36:42.100
Kurt: Hey, Kurt Wild here, coming to you from the recording studio,
01:36:42.720 --> 01:36:46.080
or should I say closet or goblin hole,
01:36:46.460 --> 01:36:49.000
maybe penalty box, something, I don't know what this is,
01:36:49.080 --> 01:36:50.480
it feels like I'm tight in here,
01:36:50.640 --> 01:36:50.960
but-
01:36:50.960 --> 01:36:52.880
A rising tide lifts all boats,
01:36:53.180 --> 01:36:56.260
so while you're waiting for the next Tales by Daggerlight episode to drop,
01:36:56.640 --> 01:36:58.820

01:36:59.080 --> 01:37:01.040
