Starting point is 00:00:00 It's AntsPetsRadio. Be a toucan, not a two-wont. Hey everyone, are you in Sydney on the 2nd or 3rd of Feb and want to see what me, Jack, Adam and our good friend Joel Doucher look like in the flesh? Then why not come see us at the Chippendale Hotel? Tickets are available in the show notes, seating is very limited, so get in while you can. Also, some listeners may find this week's episode a bit distressing, so listener discretion is advised. Welcome to episode 20 of Hust Firm a Pride, a D&D's for nerds adventure. Previously... Edric, you turn around. Cassius, you can just see like the gore, like speckles of gore, like across his chest and up reaching across his face.
Starting point is 00:00:44 I'd like to continue with my set of denial and be like, how are you feeling? With a smile. Does it look like anything's changed? Um, nothing appears to have changed. Look at the map. Yeah, I'll take the map and the note. You can read the note. If you attack anyone,
Starting point is 00:00:59 I have not designated. I will flay the flesh from your bones. I shouldn't have laughed! I shouldn't have laughed! Ah! So, is this no, is this definite confirmation that the elves and drow are working together
Starting point is 00:01:16 or is this more that they're we're looking for a trade? Seems like effectively that they're at least in communication with one another. We never spent a night together. I don't know why you have a tattoo of me on your arm. I'm fine. Okay, I will not push from there. I just want it known that I care enough to ask
Starting point is 00:01:32 but not enough to push. Why do you only go with the first thing that works? Fine, weapons. I was thinking draw some armor or weapons. What do you want to paint? What type of armor or weapon? Full metal jacket. A healing salve? What do you want to paint? What type of armor or weapon? Full metal. Full metal jacket. A healing salve?
Starting point is 00:01:47 Yeah. What do you want the healing salve to do? Fix the alien fire stuff. Zilly, you put the finishing touches on your painting and a small salve of what you presume is something that will fix the burn victims appears. Oh, let's... Oh, guys.
Starting point is 00:02:03 Draw another. I'd like to continue to draw that while these two buglegs go and, like, use it. Worm! Cow! Can't do a dragon. You fail the second time. But you have the first salve. Maybe you get Zira to help you out with this.
Starting point is 00:02:18 As soon as this salve touches the wounds, the wounds disappear as if they never existed. I spare a moment of thought that if we'd figured this out quicker, we could have saved Mistra. Yeah. Could we save Mistra now? No, she's dead. I don't want to think that. I don't want a way for our lives to be over.
Starting point is 00:02:37 I'm not going to think that at all. Nope. Can we just try a little bit and see what happens? A little bit of what? A little bit of Slav. Slav. Yeah, no, like I said, as soon as...
Starting point is 00:02:47 No, she means on Mistra. Oh. Does at least her skin heal? Her skin heals, but it doesn't stop her. We can at least give her a decent burial. Yeah, like for a burial,
Starting point is 00:02:55 she can look alright. It's a win for us. Okay, alright. Fail again. What else can we do? Oh, sorry, I thought you were just producing that self.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Can we get someone else to do it? Who's the best artist? You can ask someone else if you want. Yeah, can we find the best, sorry. I thought you were just producing that self. Can we get someone else to do it? You can ask someone else if you want. Yeah, can we find the best artist? Please don't have someone who is better than me. Nordic people. Artistry isn't really what they do. Maybe that's why.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Yeah, just make enough to heal everyone. Should we use it for something else? Fail. This is 10 minutes every time. Fail. Anything else? Fail. This is 10 minutes every time.
Starting point is 00:03:24 Fail. Can we either continue this until we use up all the paint or we cure all the people? Yeah. Cool. So we'll just keep at it until we have enough salve. However long that takes. We'll wait. Can you ask Zilly, do you reckon you could recreate this paint?
Starting point is 00:03:42 Adam, could I recreate this paint? Whatever magic made this is way beyond us. I'm going to say you make enough salve to... Like, not everyone who has been wounded... Not everyone who is in these things... Some of it is poison from drow weapons. Anyone who has been burnt is fine. Are we kind of loved by the town a little bit?
Starting point is 00:04:05 Well, yeah. They were reveling like fucking drow dead. And I was going to be like, let's kill them all and move on. A lot of people just were brought back. So it was, the breakdown was, 15 able to fight, 10 mobile, 40 incapacitated. It's now 10 incapacitated. 30 capable of fighting.
Starting point is 00:04:34 Enough to defend the town now. 25 who are just mobile. Enough to go to Lockford. Run train on Lockford. Oh yes, escape to Lockford. Probably cleverer. Lockford is far more secure. Any horses? How many horses do we have in this?
Starting point is 00:04:48 Can we fix some horses? A hot zero. A hot zero. Have a lot of horse soup if you want it. Let's reconstitute a horse out of soup. How much paint do we have left? Zero. That's it.
Starting point is 00:05:01 It's going to be a wooden horse. You've used up all the paint. Hey, I'm just curious. We're not going to fucking paint horses. Oh, my God. There you go. Everybody on. That's it. It's gonna be a wooden horse. You've used up all the paint. Hey, that, I'm just curious. I'm not gonna fucking paint horses. There you go, everybody on! Alright, let's put the easel back in there. Hey, you know what it could have made if you had made a bit more successes?
Starting point is 00:05:15 Horse, sorry, cart. Carts. Hey, I'd rather heal... He can shape wood out of the cow. I can! Can you shape wood out of the cow. I can! Yeah, I was like, can you shape wood out of the cow? The worm and... They have wooden barriers, by the way.
Starting point is 00:05:32 You know, they have wood smiths still. No, but there was no wood. There's plenty of wood used for the defences. Okay, I grab Bertram and maybe a couple of the other guards. Well, not if they're going to escape, are they? They don't need a fucking wooden cow, Adam. Can we just get, get like a town meeting? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:47 And be just like, rouse the town. You can talk with some of the leaders, yeah? And just be like, right, this is what we're proposing. We are proposing to unfortunately abandon this town and we move our wounded and our sick along with everyone and everything that we can carry all the way to Lockfort. We will provide the guard from there. We will be able to at least keep us safe.
Starting point is 00:06:09 And then myself, Cassius, and Zilli are going to go and take the fight to the drow. And what happened to Daniel? Hi. Daniel's probably fucked up here. We don't care about him. I don't give a fuck where Daniel is. You say that?
Starting point is 00:06:23 We probably do, though. Okay. Well, we do, though. Oh, no don't give a fuck where Daniel is. You say that? We probably do, though. Okay. Well, we do, though. Oh, no, he told you he was going to the thing. I should still roll for Liza. He went to the orphanage. Yeah, he told you, but Cassius said he didn't. What's he been doing while we've been like, we're healing the sink.
Starting point is 00:06:35 No, I just said I don't give a fuck where Daniel is. Oh, no, you said I don't know. We're making care. No, no, they were like, where's Daniel? I'm like, I don't give a fuck where Daniel is. Okay. Well, yeah, he said he was going to the, that was like over an hour ago. Yeah, I'm like, and any able-bodied men that might want to come to. Sorry, that was we're done. Okay. Well, yeah, he said he was going to the... That was, like, over an hour ago. Yeah, I'm like...
Starting point is 00:06:45 And any able-bodied men that might want to come to... That was three hours ago. And any able-bodied men that want to come to the Underdark and fuck some drow. Okay. Let's raise an army. Head to Lockfoot, raise an army, take the fight to the drow. That's a good plan. I'm going to go start to work shaping wood into carts.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Okay. While you're doing that, do you want to go to the orphanage or something? No. Oh, okay. You're not going to look for Daniel? Well, do we know that Daniel is missing? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He said he's going to the orphanage.
Starting point is 00:07:11 I guess I'll go because I'm the only one who doesn't hate him right now. I don't hate him. I just have a dislike for him. Nah, he's... Yeah, I'd like to go and look for Daniel. Cool. I start helping with the preparations. You wander out to the orphanage.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Because, like, if nothing else... Is this the first time you've been to the smouldering wreckage? I can't remember. Yes? Okay. So it's probably, like, a bit of a sad moment for you. I'm avoiding it. So it's, yeah, like I said, probably a bit of a sad moment for you coming across the remains.
Starting point is 00:07:48 There's, like I said, there's pretty much nothing standing. Maybe, like, a tiny one wall, a tiny bit of one wall, like a corner that just was touched by flames but wasn't, like, burnt down. That's where he's sitting. No. Like, you can see the chain, like, slung over the side of it like that, and it's embedded in the wall. Yes.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Facing away from you. No. Do you walk around? Yeah, I do. Daniel has strung himself up with his chain. Oh, no. Is he just sitting there using it as a swing He's dead He hung himself
Starting point is 00:08:27 Adam I hate you What have I done Adam what What are you doing Adam What have I done Your punishment is nearly complete Nearly That should be the final nail in the coffin.
Starting point is 00:08:46 Why are you punishing us for checks? What the fuck just happened? I'm done. I'm done. I'm out. I'm done. Amazing. What the fuck?
Starting point is 00:09:10 What is this game? Okay. I don't know if you want to start this. I don't even know what to say to you, Adam. I'm so mad. I just don't understand why you've done anything that you've done. This is no longer Zilli to the dead fucking corpse of Daniel. It's now straight up Ali to add a motherfucking crispy treats.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Go fuck yourself. I'm so done. I'm still giving a rousing speech to the townsfolk. Fuck the townsfolk. I'm still furious at what I think is an alive Daniel. Fuck all this fuck. Isn't it so much worse knowing that he's dead and still being like, my character is furious?
Starting point is 00:09:55 Like Cassius, I, Jackson, I'm like, it wasn't worth, he shouldn't have. But Cassius is like, what a piece of fucking shit. Also, how do the Husferma, so not right, how do they view suicide? Out of curiosity. There's a question. Culturally.
Starting point is 00:10:12 I never thought we'd be asking. Culturally, how do the fantasy Nordic people deal with suicide? Are Husferma Catholic? The gods do not appreciate those who try to hurry their visit. Are they like, whatever, he fell in dark times, what a sad thing, depression, things. They're not allowed to bury him in a graveyard. He'll probably just get a water funeral or something like that. Would I know this?
Starting point is 00:10:36 Yeah, you'd probably know this, yeah. I'd like to take his body down, please. Okay. Oh, I don't want to. I'm so grossed out already. It's super heavy. I know this is all make-believe, but I'm so grossed out. How are you going to take him down? Okay. Oh, I don't want to. I'm so grossed out already. It's super heavy. I know this is all make-believe, but I'm so grossed out.
Starting point is 00:10:46 How are you going to take him down? Pure rage towards you, Adam, and sadness towards me. He's six foot, like, 20. Yeah, well, but here's the thing, right? If I know what you just told me, like, he's a friend, and we've been together a lot, so I'm not going to let them know that he committed suicide. I don't know how I'm going to do it.
Starting point is 00:11:07 Are you going to set it up like Drow killed him? Yes. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. Look at his face. Okay. How are you going to do it?
Starting point is 00:11:20 Well, I need to take his body down. You have the bolts. Oh, my God. I do. I need to take his body down. You have the bolts! Oh my god! I do! Don't get excited! She's covering up a suicide! How can you not get excited, Adam? Okay, you get the body down, yeah?
Starting point is 00:11:35 Yeah, okay. I'd like to stage his death. Well, I just hope there's no fucking Huspham and CSI. Huspham and CSI Husperman CSI There's a Mitchell and Webb sketch Like caveman CSI That's effectively what it would be
Starting point is 00:11:52 Is it dark? No it's midday Because if I pull out the weapons Around here it's dark more than it's light What time is it roughly? I think around midday Toward the end of midday from memory. Why do you need the exact time?
Starting point is 00:12:09 I was wondering because again... I don't mind too. The town's... Because again, we'd probably want to leave... It's after dark. It'd definitely be after dark. We'd probably want to leave at first light. It's after dark like 2pm.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Good. No, that's what I need. It's after dark because we fucking captured the drow and we came back again. Okay. So you stage a... Before that happened, before I fail miserably because of the look on your face, the way I've staged this... I was like, I looked up from the roll I made, which could be anything,
Starting point is 00:12:45 and I saw Jackson's face, and I knew Jackson had gotten it, but then you were still looking down at your paper, so I'm like, normal face, normal face. Normally that doesn't work. Give it away. Poker face, Adam, poker face. Ah, fucked up. Anyway, I would like to just, obviously I'll take him down,
Starting point is 00:13:00 however the fuck that works, and then. You are probably like, maybe go around the other side and you use like a big bit of wood to dislodge the chain. So he just kind of drops. Yeah. And I'd like to like, his limp body, thanks to you, Adam. You're so salty at you. I'd like to just like sort of tell him that he was always like a great friend
Starting point is 00:13:24 and he was always really supportive. Oh, no. Yeah, that's what you've done, Adam. And I'd like to say how much like our Thursday, Tuesday, Thursday roast meant and that I hope that he's in a better place and that we're going to try. He was the only person. So hard. Fuck, I've got to tell his dad.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Yeah, that we're going to try. Oh, no, we might think it was drow. That's true. Let's hope it was drow. Come on, Zilly, do good. I know, I try. Oh, no, we might think it was Drow. That's true. Let's hope it was Drow. Come on, Zilly, do good. I know, I know. Well, Superman does good. I'm going to just sort of try and promise him that we're going to try and find Carl.
Starting point is 00:13:57 We're going to try and, like, this war has done such terrible things, and I'm going to try and rectify it. And I know that you're such a good person that you wouldn't have done this in any other circumstance. And I'm sorry I have to desecrate your body, but I'm going to shoot you with alfarros now. And ask for a little bit of penance. So do you have the hand crossbow as well? Yes, she does. Okay, so you don't know how to use a hand crossbow.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Just use an arrow and just stab. What? You could try if you want to. You don't know how to use a hand crossbow. Just use an arrow and just stab. What? You could try if you want to. You don't know how to use a hand crossbow, but it's just a body, so even without knowledge you can pepper it with a couple crossbow bolts. You do that, and then what? How heavy is he? Super heavy.
Starting point is 00:14:40 How strong am I? Super weak. Well, let me do some quick maths here. But you look good while doing it, especially in that cloak. My charisma cloak. Super tasty. Are you forgetting that Zilli's super hot? Well, not hot, just charismatic.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Super hot. Also, if you're dragging it, just remember, you might want to cover up those tracks. Them CSI. I'll spin the CSI. He's my plan. No, barely any of them are trappers. You wouldn't know.
Starting point is 00:15:13 We're illiterate, right? You would know. A trapper helps you make those traps. Remember? Oh, yeah. I was just going to drag his body with me and be like, this is where I found him. So it doesn't really matter where he is. You could also look for the dragon, really.
Starting point is 00:15:29 Well, we'll search the town for drowels that don't exist if you just take us back to the orphanage and you're like, look what they did to Daniel. That's true. Yeah. Oh, how far are you going to have to drag him? Wait for a bit. You can drag him, but that's it.
Starting point is 00:15:41 You can't pick him up. Can I drag him to such a rate that we're going to do a search for I drag him? Okay, so you can lift him, but if you lift him, you can't lift him over your head. You just lift him up to your chest and you're staggering around. You can't actually move properly. I'd like to carry him in such a way that you can still clearly see the drought bolts coming out. You can drag him. You can't actually lift him and go anywhere. You could drag him like this with the front.
Starting point is 00:16:04 How far away am I from the orphanage? You're in the orphanage, in the remains of it. If I scream. If you scream loud enough, they'd hear you, yeah. Okay, I'd like to do that. I'd like very emotionally scream and lots of no's. Then you can just hold him. Yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Yeah, good, good, good. That's what I'm doing. Hold him and lots of tears because they're long. You're screaming for a while. Yes, yes. Yeah, good, good, good. That's what I'm doing. Hold him and lots of tears because they're long. You're screaming for a while. Oh, wow. Before finally. Oh, wait. I should have just sent.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Wesley. Can I send Wesley as a messenger? Oh, no, you've already done that. It's already happened. It's fine. Wesley can come too. I think you scream, you wait. No one's coming.
Starting point is 00:16:42 To be fair, you could send Wesley off now because they really haven't noticed you yet. We're in the middle of a rousing speech. Yeah, exactly. Rousing speech. You send Wesley off. Who are you going to send and find? I've got a spell for this. Oh, can I do that?
Starting point is 00:16:55 You could just send Wesley. No. What's that, boy? What's that, Wesley? Oh, no, that's not. Zilly's down a well? Zilly's down a well? Zilly fell in a drow?
Starting point is 00:17:03 I'd like to send Wesley across to Cassius because Cassius can talk to animals and then be like, Wesley, you've got to get Cassius. You've got to tell him what's going on. Please leave out the bit where we staged the murder. Oh, yeah, Wesley's complicit. Wesley's an accomplice. I would like to explain.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Wesley's going to judge you. I'd like to explain to Wesley that this is the best option and to please. Roger Dodger. As you wish. No, that's me, Ali, saying Roger Dodger. Wesley doesn't say anything. Wesley just looks at the body, looks at you, doesn't say anything.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Hello, hello. Wesley's going to have to keep a secret. We're going to have to kill him too. I'm not killing Wesley. As he walks away, your hand brushes that hand crossbow, Ali. Sorry. As Wesley runs away, you're like, he's complicit, and your hand brushes that crossbow.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Oh, no, it doesn't. Oh, no, what are you going to do with the crossbow? I'm not going to do it. It's on your person. Oh. Oh, yeah, because they're going to fucking CSI that shit, and they're going to be like, these bolts fired from this hand crossbow. That's true.

Starting point is 00:22:30 His chain is covered in blood. One end of his chain is covered in blood. Here's what happened. You fucked up this, CSI. Cassius is a one-woman CSI. Cassius, when I got here, the drow must have killed him and then humiliated him by hanging him from his chain. Oh!
Starting point is 00:22:55 And I couldn't leave him there like that. I had to take him down. I had to. I couldn't leave him. It's too humiliating. He's lost so much in this war I don't know what to do her voice breaks her eyes dilate she's lying I'd like to put my hand on your shoulder.

Wesley just shrugs his shoulders. I'll take that as affirmation. I'd like to use charm person. What the fuck is this? I'm doing this for Daniel. You fucked him round.

I like to tell him, killing Cassia's in here, in your mind, he's just telepathically communicating. What are you doing, Zilly? I tried to comfort you.
Starting point is 00:24:55 What happened here, Zilly? Wesley says, go full hog. What does that mean? Go hog. Do it again. Do it again. Do it again. Do it again.
Starting point is 00:25:04 Oh, God. Oh, no. You it again. Do it again. Do it again. Oh, God. Oh, no. You and Wesley, you're one of a kind. I was going to be like, just tell the truth. Ali, the truth will set you free. No, it won't. No, very true. This whole party is built on lies.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Okay, Cassius, you're charmed. Yes. Sorry. So the drought did this. Who else? You consider everything Ali says in the best possible light. Okay. How else? Who would have done light. Who would have done this?
Starting point is 00:25:28 Who would have done this? They're the ones who humiliate us. From this point forward until the end of the spell, you consider everything, I guess, that she's telling the truth. Although, when the spell ends, you can revisit these memories. Yeah, I will. Oh dear. I'm going to get thrown in the lake.
Starting point is 00:25:43 I'd like to get my fists ready and search the area. You stay here, Zilly, with the body. They can't be that far away. Cassius, I think you should maybe, like, he was here for a while. Then they're somewhere beyond the town. They can't have gone that far. I was chatting to him just now. Just still.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Then they can't be that far away. I'm going to head off. I'm going to start searching the area. No, you can't. Stop doing that. You find no sign of Drow. Let's go. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:26:14 We've got to go. Help me carry him back to the town. Add that to the memory bank. Yep. All right. All right. I'll help you carry him. You're right.
Starting point is 00:26:21 We've got to get him into town. Let's go. We've got to tell Edric and pick him up by his leg. Do you take his chain as well? I am so fucked. him. You're right. We've got to get him into town. Let's go. We've got to tell Edric and I pick him up by his leg. Do you take his chain as well? I am so fucked. Yes. Okay. No.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Maybe. Those are the three potential things. Do I take his chain? Yes. No, I said yes to begin with. Yes, I will. Hang on. Can you flip your character sheet over to where Wesley is?
Starting point is 00:26:45 Okay. What? What are you going to do to Wesley? All right. Don't fucking worry. Got it. It's int. Int.
Starting point is 00:26:51 One of his starts is int for intelligence. Eight. Eight? Okay. Yeah. So what did you say? He said yes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:59 You're taking the chain. Yeah. Adam. Yes? Adam I'd like to help carry Daniel's body back to the town Between the two of you, you can easily carry Daniel The whole way back I'm like, I broke his jaw I broke his jaw Is his jaw still broken? It's got that purple bruising
Starting point is 00:27:19 I threw the wand at him, remember? It's got that purple bruising He didn't use the wand. Oh, no. He felt like he deserved it. I'd like to ask Cassius. Probably in the snow somewhere. Pick up the wand for strategic reasons, not for roleplay reasons.
Starting point is 00:27:34 She's told how I'm going to take it in. I didn't know how it was. So Bertram is... Edric, Bertram is like... You and Bertram are hashing out details of who's going to be going on what carts, that sort of stuff. When one of the remaining town guards comes over and says, Sir, there's a... Zilli and Cassius are coming back. I think they have Daniel, and I think he's hurt.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Bertram, keep hashing this out. I'll be right back. What? Hashing it out. It's fine. That's a word? That's a phrase? I think I said back what? hashing it out it's fine that's a word that's a phrase I think I said it as well but it just made me laugh
Starting point is 00:28:09 when you said it hash is drugs oh Adam you're right though it is drugs it is correct
Starting point is 00:28:16 I would revert to drugs as well um keep hashing this out I'll be right back um I you tripp on up yeah the guard like
Starting point is 00:28:23 takes you to where he saw you um yeah you guys meet up on the way I'd like to ask Cassius what the fuck's going on like why out, I'll be right back. You trippin' on up? Yeah, the guard takes you to where he saw you. Yeah, you guys meet up. On the way, I'd like to ask Cassius what the fuck's going on. Why are you muttering about breaking someone's jaw? No, you've charmed me. You don't have to tell her this. You consider her a friend, but you already did
Starting point is 00:28:39 and you might not have told her then. Me and Daniel had an altercation. Alright, is that why he went off by himself? I don't know. Now you're gonna find out why he- oh, this is all just falling apart! I don't know, Zilli. I don't know. Okay, so Edric arrives on scene. I'm squeaking in the corner.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Go on. Uh, what do I see, Adam? They're carrying Daniel between them. So Edric arrives on scene. I'm squeaking in the corner. Go on. What do I see, Adam? They're carrying Daniel between them. Daniel, like, he's got, you know, he's very limp, so he's quite obviously dead. His head is, like, leaned back at an odd angle, and he's got, like, shafts from drow bolts on him.
Starting point is 00:29:23 The drow. I just drop. I drop to the floor. I drop the hammer. I just drop. I drop to the floor. I drop the hammer. I just drop to my knees. This is it. This is take. This is like, I just like, fuck.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Just fuck. Just goddammit. I'm like muttering about Carl. I'm muttering about like, I didn't, this is why I didn't want him. What happened? What happened? What happened? I'd like to explain better than what I did.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Well, you're pretty distraught, Zilly. Yeah, well, that's why. And because of your distraught nature, Oh, my God. Edric does not believe it either. I like to use charm person, Adam. How many castings do you have left? The God is the...
Starting point is 00:30:02 You're right. All right, all right. The guard is right there. Hang on. So you said the drow? Oh, he's like standing a little away. You could probably get away with it. Hang on.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Do you have still spell or silent spell? I think you do. Look at your feats because you might have the ones that... You're right. Let me react before you start using magic on you, you sumbitch. I would like to use whatever feat you said was most useful. I think silent spell. You haven't even let me... You don't even know that I know you're lying yet.
Starting point is 00:30:32 Just want to... I'll keep that in the back pocket. Keep that in the brain box. The drow. Look at Cassius. So what's the drow? The drow, they... Do I think Cassius is lying? Edric, they shot him full of arrows and they strung him up. Cassius seems on the level.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Oh, actually. Ooh, this is an interesting roll. So a sense motive roll of 25 allows you to determine whether or not someone has been charmed. Whoopsie. Oh, boy. No. Josh, no.
Starting point is 00:31:03 To be honest, looking at your sense motive score you actually physically couldn't tell I kind of give Zillia a quizzical look and then just go to the guard tell Bertram we need a search party the guard shifts off
Starting point is 00:31:21 you guys are probably outside the wall right now so now's the time, isn't it? Do you really think? Cassius? Yeah. Can you give us some moment? I need you to go.
Starting point is 00:31:36 Actually, can you go with? Yeah, before. Tell him to go with the guard. He's like, organize a search party. Cassius, can you tell what happened? For sure. Cool. Are you intending on getting yourself alone with Zilli? Yeah. the guard is like organize a search party cassius can you tell what happened for sure cool um are you intending on getting yourself alone with zilly yeah okay all right i'll uh i'll go sort
Starting point is 00:31:55 the search party out i'm in so much trouble actually zilly you as far as you're aware right now he believes me yeah as far as you're aware he now... He believes me? Yeah, as far as you're aware, he believes you. I put my hand on Daniel just for a moment to have a moment with him and be like, I'm so sorry, and go join the search party. I'd like to fall into Edric's arms. Bro, I'm getting the vapors! Okay, you catch her, right? Yeah, I kind of give her a hug.
Starting point is 00:32:22 I'd like to distressingly emphasize how humiliating it was to find the drow had put him in such a humiliating thing and I couldn't deal with it, so I had to take him down. Yes, another sweet Goodwill hunting moment. It's not your fault. I love that. Yeah, I basically say I'm sorry that you've had to live through this. Where are you looking?
Starting point is 00:32:47 I'm looking. So she's facing me. She's fallen into your arms, yeah? Daniel's behind us. I'm looking at Daniel, and I'm telling Zilly, it's okay. I'm so sorry this happened. You know what happened. This is why I didn't.
Starting point is 00:33:03 Edric, you give one look at him, you know those marks on his neck. You know what happened This is why I didn't Edric You give one look at him You know those marks on his neck You know what happened This is why I didn't want you guys to do this We've made such terrible mistakes I couldn't leave him there I'm so fucked Does Cassius know what you've done?
Starting point is 00:33:23 What? What do you mean? Does Cassius know what you've done? What? What do you mean? Does Cassius know what you've done? What? I didn't do anything. Does Cassius know what you've done? I would like to break down now, please. For real or are you pretending?
Starting point is 00:33:38 No, for real. In the weight of the burden of what I tried to do. Yep. Zilly starts crying. I'm not going to get you to roll sense motive. I explain everything. I explain about how, like, we know that if people knew he'd commit suicide, he wouldn't be able to bury him.
Starting point is 00:33:54 And I told Cassius that I may. She was very distraught, so I may have tried to calm her down. Maybe a little bit. I panicked. All right. I'm not ready for this,rick hold me hold me i'm so sad and so confused i hate this world i hate it this season can go fucking well the season being winter um well done i just yeah keep comforting you and it's like, it'll be okay, Cassius.
Starting point is 00:34:28 Okay. You've got to back me up. We can't let the town know that it wasn't the drought because you know what will happen. I know. Fucking coward. I know. Do you know what I'm going to do?
Starting point is 00:34:39 Do you know how hard it's going to be for me to cope when I come out of this charm and I'm like, Daniel killed himself. My friend killed himself. My other friend betrayed me and charmed me, treated me like I wasn't mature enough to understand. And then my other friend went along with her. It's going to be bad. On the bright side, you still aren't making your role to know that she charmed you. Yeah, good.
Starting point is 00:35:04 I'd also like to ask Edric if maybe we should tell Cassius together. I'm going to. First off, never charm her again. Do not charm any, like. I mean, honestly, it's the first time I use that spell. Oh, second time. I used it on that elf. No, you fucking pushed it too far now. I used it on that elf. No, you fucking pushed it too far in there.
Starting point is 00:35:26 I used it on the elf. This is something you might want to come back to later, Andrew. Yeah. You're like, put a pin in that. Is it just? Is it just? Zilly, this is why Huss Furmans don't like magic.
Starting point is 00:35:45 Zilly. What was I meant to do? don't like magic, Zilly. What was I meant to do? You weren't there. Look, I'm not, Zilly. I understand. I'm in so much trouble. I understand. We can't let the townsfolk. You're right.
Starting point is 00:35:54 The guards are coming back. Okay. Have the search party go. Oh, it's out there. Search it. No, you're coming back with the search party. We'll deal with this soon. Hang on.
Starting point is 00:36:05 I kind of reach into my backpack and grab that orb of that mister gave us. Because, I mean, time of need. Dead Daniel. It's a pretty good time of need. Every now and then in the smoky orb you see like a... Like thunderclouds. There's storms? It's like a storm is brewing inside of it.
Starting point is 00:36:26 What the fuck? I have no idea what that means. You're still, you're the only one holding it? I give it a... She's the one in the time of need. I give it to me. Put it on like Daniel's face? Nothing.
Starting point is 00:36:38 Open his mouth, slide it in. Point and click adventure. I die at the close. I open at the close. What the fuck am I? Pass it to me and sunflowers come up. Go on. To Zilli.
Starting point is 00:36:48 But what happens when Zilli takes the orb? And what could storm clouds mean? Find out next time on Husfirma Pride, a D&D is for Nerds adventure.
