SANS Pants Radio, Australia's dumbest podcast network. like the opposite of hot cake. So to help our self-esteem and to justify what I do for a living,
head to the show notes and slam that link to go buy more tickets than you'll frankly need,
and then drag all your mates along. They will love it, and by extension you, but more importantly,
me. Once again, help me get that attention I crave by filling up this cinema. That's right,
we're performing in a cinema.
Will it be well lit and not at all conducive to a live show?
God, I hope so.
So once again, head to the show notes
and we'll see you on the 1st of August.
Previously on Stories of the Greyhill Free Company The second possum gets higher than my head height, I feel sick.
I still don't get that.
No one's allowed to be up higher than my head.
Hi!
Hey, hello there, Mr. I...
Miss...
Miss Nightingale!
Suddenly, a dragon attacks.
The PCs are ambushed by a creature.
The two rock eyes blink, blink.
Oh.
The creature turns around
and sprints into the forest.
When you wake up the next day,
you still feel sick,
and your exhaustion level has increased to two. With you wake up the next day, you still feel sick and your exhaustion level
has increased to two. With the assistance
of the deer, are finally
able to locate what you
imagine must be the tree. It is
stupefyingly large.
This black dragon is about the size of an
elephant and its chest has been torn
open. What?
What? Yeah, they have a herbalism
kit even.
I will allow, if they fail the saving throw,, they have a herbalism kit even. Just anything to kind of like cool her down.
I will allow if they fail the saving throw, you can make a herbalism check,
which is basically just a d20 plus your wisdom modifier.
And they can substitute that as their saving throw if they failed the saving throw.
You return to camp.
Camp looks about the same as it ever did.
It's busy here, as it always is.
You can see that Mora Marsh must have come back recently with a big pile of further quests.
More contracts.
Chantel Stormbender, the knight,
or the heavily armoured fighter of some sort,
is no longer here, and neither is Yaola, the devil worshipper.
Looks like both of them have gone on some sort of mission together, maybe.
Okay, that's kind of nice.
Though you do see that they weren't here when you left previously,
but have obviously come back from some sort of mission.
Are Herdek foam tankard?
Mm-hmm.
A dwarven cleric?
Herdek follows a god of renewal.
Okay.
The god of renewal basically is just like death is a part
of life and undeath is a part of life and so her deck yeah okay her deck has this kind of like
fatalistic view on the world her deck is like we're all gonna die someday yes okay today for me it might be today can someone please help me i don't think
so and then also here is love is blind uh love is blind the tabaxi yeah i was like oh love is blind
is a sorcerer they harness the power of the wind itself to cast their magic. Okay. All right. Yes. Good. Love is blind is cutting his toenails.
That's absolutely gorgeous.
Perhaps I will head off quickly.
I'll get Big T over here.
Do you want to quickly just have a bit of a sit down?
I need to sit down.
Hello, new friends.
You introduce yourself to the new friends who are our old friends, I believe.
I am Big T. This is Possum.
What's your nickname?
Oh, no, you know these people.
Oh.
Yeah.
You're Big T now.
You can introduce yourself with a new nickname.
I have a nickname now.
I'm Big T, and Possum is Possum.
Ew.
You know Possum.
Possum's global, but Possum is Possum.
Do you have nicknames?
I'm very sick.
I am, as always, Love is Blind.
Says Love is Blind.
And I'm Herdek from Tankard.
Pleasure to meet you, T.
Big T.
Sorry.
No, that's all right.
I'm being silly.
Can someone help me?
Fucking hell. actually yes Herdek
do you perhaps
big T here
is suffering from
an illness
disease actually
hurling disease
oh yeah
anything
using your clerical
abilities I've exhausted all my hurling disease. Oh yeah. Have you been using your clerical abilities?
I've exhausted all my
nature abilities.
Let me think.
Herdek gives you a look over.
Oh.
Number between 1 and 29?
7.
God damn it, her attack
Oh my god, you're a halfling
Have you always been a goliath?
I've been in the water a lot
Maybe I've turned into fish
Oh yeah
Do I seem wet enough?
I don't think you're typically supposed to be wet
I thought the same thing
I'll leave you to it I'm going to have a quick go on to Morimar.
Have you considered dying?
Yeah, but I...
I take one step forward.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
We don't want that.
Do I have to?
Your corpse will fuel a tree.
You can consider yourself that tree if you want.
But...
Or your corpse will fool a zombie.
That's also natural.
But I don't want to.
Not yet, not yet.
I know his beliefs, not yet.
I know their beliefs, not yet.
Well, other than that, there's not a lot I can do.
You'll either have to let the disease run its course or die.
Can anybody else help me?
Oh, sorry, I forgot as well.
There is actually someone else in camp who could help you. There is a traveling merchant
who sometimes comes to your camp.
They do like kind of a loop of the local area.
Ah, good, good, good.
Well, it's less a loop and
more like a straight line back
and forth. There's just a series of
camps in a row from different
companies like yourselves. Ah, perfect.
But yeah, they're here right now.
Their name is
a Marquillet. Ah, Marquillet.
Nice to meet you. They're an elf.
Marquillett and their traveling
stuff.
No, that's not the...
It's just Mark Quillett. He doesn't have a name for his business
or anything. I'm writing it down. Traveling stuff,
Mark Quillett. That's what we call him.
He's the person I guess we sell all our
items to that we've acquired, yes?
Yeah, if you have anything to sell, he'll pick it up
for you. He also does
various different services, like he
can sell you...
He doesn't himself actually
cast spells, but he does have access
to a wide variety of potions and whatnot.
Okay, cool. So the items that we've
acquired, in terms of inventory
management, is that
the prices you've given us, or is that...
You would sell it for half the price that it has
listed there. Okay, cool. So,
any of those goods, you could sell them to him.
Okay. And then I'll just divide...
You could turn that into just cold hard cash. Yeah, and I'll divide
it by two, of course.
Divide it by five, my friend.
No, divide it in half, and that's how much we get, yes?
Oh, yes, yes, sorry. Divide
the item in half, and then
the total by five, and thenide the item in half And then the total by 5
And then it gets split among you two
And the next of kin
Okay, cool
All that, that was 155 gold
155, alright
That divided by 5 is
31
Good job, is it?
Yeah
Good job, I don't think I could have done that quickly in my head
You each get 31 gold And then you turn in the quests Good job, is it? Yeah. Good job. I don't think I could have done that quickly in my head.
You each get 31 gold, and then you turn in the quests.
Morimash can handle that for you if you want as well.
Or actually, Marquillet and Morimash work together.
The gold that we acquired, do we have to split that as well?
Like the 1,000 silver coins and the 40 gold coins?
Yeah, typically.
Okay, so what's 1,000 You can not, if you want to.
Oh, no, no.
The thousand silver coins is, what's that again?
A thousand silver coins is how many gold?
Oh, it's 100 gold.
Okay.
So that's another 25 gold each?
Yeah.
It's 140.
140 gold, and we divide that by five, yes.
Okay, so that's 28 gold.
Any leftovers just goes to the company itself.
Oh, divided perfectly.
Yes.
So we both have 59 gold each. Perfect.
I have 59 gold. Right.
That's good to hear.
So go over to
Morimash.
Actually, no, we're dealing with your...
Yes, please.
Morimash, we have
returned, unfortunately. Some of our compatriots
have passed away.
We'll get to you in a minute. It happens.
I didn't, but I nearly am.
We're glad to have you back.
Not for long, maybe.
Can someone help me?
Did you go to Morimash first?
Yes.
And you actually mentioned that you're sick?
Yes.
Morimash, then, this is what the company finances for.
Morimash pays for a potion of neutralized, not neutralized, but remove disease.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Don't worry.
It's what it's for.
Beautiful.
Thank you very much, Morimash.
You are still at level three exhaustion, but you, after drinking it, immediately feel better.
Oh, all my veins are cool and all my skin's hot.
Morimash puts up two hands, two massive meaty hands,
puts his fingers together and says,
Together we are strong.
Yes.
Adventures together strong.
Strong.
Not what I was trying to do, but all right.
It works.
We were successful on the breastplate of the Hulk.
We have the 18-day position Hulk. We have it in there.
Oh, here it is.
I'll take this all for you and I'll have it mailed off.
Ah, beautiful.
And here's the marking of where the wyvern or the worm was.
Yes, the creature.
The creature.
Explain what the creature was or what I saw.
Monomarsh looks very scared.
So, yes.
Here there was a black
dragon, as you would expect with a horde.
It was cut open.
Yes, belly to
neck all the way down to groin.
Empty dragon. That is fucked.
Yes. I hate that.
Yes, I notably hate that.
Yes, that was it. And then
next to it was a lot of butchered
or not even butchered, just piles of animal corpses in six eggs.
Cool.
They look like...
Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.
Yeah, this is very cool.
Love that.
Loving it as well.
Well, I'll note that down.
That might be something for...
Well, we'll see how that develops.
Someone should go in and push the eggs out of the nest.
Someone should.
Yes.
Absolutely. Someone should. Yes. Absolutely.
Someone else.
Perhaps not these two.
Someone else indeed.
I would agree heartily with that sentiment.
Yes.
Definitely more for the risk was 100 gold.
There was just no animal presence in a wide area.
Well, I wouldn't want to live next door to that either.
Yes.
Well, it's going to go out further if there's no animals.
We should put animals in there,
get them away from the nest, push the eggs out.
Yes, Big T is on to us.
Kill him. Someone else.
We have nicknames now.
Big T and I'm Possum.
Oh, that's lovely to hear. Big T and Possum.
No, I
prefer just to go by my name, Monomarsh.
Okay. Unfortunately, I prefer just to go by my name, Monomarsh. Okay.
Yes.
Unfortunately, yes.
The corpses, we managed to save the bodies of our fallen compatriots.
Always appreciated.
Yes, unfortunately, yes.
The goblin horde was a little bit more difficult than we first thought it would be.
It's a difficult life.
Yes, yes, yes.
Not easy.
Life is cheap.
Yes.
Death is quick.
Yes.
Hopefully.
We also have these magic crossbow bolts
and this ring,
but we don't really know what they do.
Well...
Doesn't taste rotten.
Yes.
Well, if you want,
if you don't use a crossbow,
the crossbow bolts will be much appreciated.
We'll divvy them out to someone who needs them
or sell them
to collect the funds.
The ring itself,
I could have identified for you
and then returned to you.
Oh, yeah,
absolutely delightful, yes.
Thank you.
All right.
He takes both of them.
Yes, good, good, good.
Enjoy the crossbow.
I couldn't even use a crossbow
if you paid me.
Yes, we'll perhaps
rest up for a little bit until your right is rain there, Big T.
Right is wet, wet rain.
I'll start collating some of these potential contracts, shall we say.
Brilliant.
Yes.
I go to sleep.
You rest up.
Ah, I go down like a log.
You both have, you can have a long rest.
As a treat.
Do I get a level of exhaustion recovered?
Yeah, you recover one level of exhaustion.
Danzo, exhaustion level two.
Yes, I think we'll probably wait here a few days while that happens.
Can I go to exhaustion level none, please?
No, you only lose one level of exhaustion for long rest.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
We'll stay here for a few days while Big T recovers
and we look through the contracts and see what's going on,
maybe chat to the camp, find out a bit more about our compatriots.
Yeah, wait for those eggs to hatch, you know, normal stuff.
Eggs to hatch, you know, those kind of things.
Could we have sold one of those broken, like the breakable scimitars,
the orc-crafted scimitars?
Could you have what, sorry?
We have one left.
Oh, could you sell it?
Yes.
Or is it more of a, not worth much?
You could sell it if you wanted to.
It probably wouldn't fetch a lot of money.
Look, you can have one.
Look, here's an ace in your hold here.
Big tea here.
Thank you.
I put it in my stuff.
In the time that that takes,
in the time that you can just completely remove the exhaustion,
in the time that that takes,
Chantel Stormbender and Yayola both return.
Some people come and go,
but right now in the camp,
it's the two of you,
Chantel Stormbender,
the knight, Herdek Foamtanked, the cleric,
Loveisblind, the tabaxi,
Morimarsh, Tavertine,
and Yayola.
There are other members of your group, but they're
not here right now.
Yes, yes.
Any other contracts
that were kind of near that
sword sage amulet of fortune?
Contracts that are active and in the area are someone has been bandits, perhaps, not 100% sure,
have been waylaying travelers, ambushing them, leaving no survivors.
Interestingly enough, it seems that they might be slavers,
because they don't seem to be interested in items, only people.
Okay.
No survivors so far, though.
So not a lot of information.
And what's...
That is on the road towards that.
Okay.
Or not on that exact road,
but there's like another road that it's near.
And so that's just like deal with them, get rid of them?
Just, yeah, deal with the menace.
Deal with the menace.
And that's worth...
They say that it's worth... They say
that it's worth only 200
gold, but they're willing to pay more
if it's extra difficult. Difficult. Okay,
okay. I suppose they want
proof of that. Alright. Yeah, they would want
proof. Yes, of course.
Alright, we've got the Slaver's Bandits, if
we perhaps see them on the way. Okay,
anything else? And now, a word
from our sponsor.
Hey, is your Dungeons & Dragons game boring
because you aren't using a wild magic table
designed by Sandspan's Radio's very own Adam Carnevale
with help from the rest of the D&D crew?
Well, do I have the answer to your very specific problem.
Your wild sorcerer will cause absolute abject chaos
as their spells cause the lower half of themselves
to become that
of a chickens or their target to get really into birds there are tons and tons of entries so you'll
probably never encounter the same effect twice it's the gift that keeps on giving you a headache
head to sanspantsradio.com slash shop and look for our dumb wild magic table today there's a just a
generally active quest in the area so this one's kind of broad because it's just if you encounter them.
But apparently kobolds have been moving down south from north ways from where you've been coming.
And they've been just kind of like a menace.
And so there is a broad 10 gold reward on any kobold heads turned in.
Yeah, all right.
So 10 gold per kobold. It's a big deal. If we ever come across some kobolds, we're just going to make sure all right. So 10 gold per cobbled head.
It's a big deal.
If we ever come across some cobbled,
we're just going to make sure that we...
Just collect the head.
Collect the heads.
All right.
Making a collection.
And then finally,
a item,
a fetch quest,
it's maybe literally called on the thing.
Oh, we're good at those.
Yes, we've got one.
We did that.
Done.
An item called the ethereal manipulation. It's a set of armor, like previous. Done. An item called the Ethereal Manipulation.
It's a set of armor like previous.
Okay.
The Ethereal Manipulation.
There is apparently somewhere to the north, broadly on the same road, but a bit a ways off.
There's like a really ancient and old dwarven stronghold that someone stumbled upon.
Scholars believe that this could be a dwarven stronghold that holds this armor.
No guarantee, but if you can find it in this dwarven stronghold,
it's worth 500 gold plus any other magical items that might be there.
Yeah, right. Okay.
It's all, some dwarf is really keen on collecting them. Okay, well, that's be there. Yeah, right. Okay. It's all, some dwarf is really keen on collecting them.
Okay.
Well, that's pretty impressive.
Okay.
So if we wanted to,
we could probably knock off
all four of these
in that similar,
well, I guess the cobalt one
is the one ongoing.
But if we went,
you know,
went down there,
tried to deal with those bandits,
if we managed to see them,
I mean,
that's not very nice.
There's slavers.
And then we go to that chapel.
Remember that chapel?
Oh,
yeah.
So,
we get the admonition.
And then,
perhaps we then go to the,
if we manage
doing very well,
I think I have faith in us.
We're lucky.
I have faith in us.
Yes.
Then we'll do that
and maybe head to the
dwarven stronghold.
It does sound quite
a bit adventurous, doesn't it?
The stronghold does seem like…
But we are adventurous.
We are adventurous.
And we're good at our jobs.
We're good at our jobs.
You're correct there.
We're very clever and do a good job.
Yes, yes.
Right.
While this is happening, perhaps we'll chat to Yola and Chantel,
see how their contracts went and how they're
getting along
and perhaps
we've got these
contracts as well
if they wouldn't
mind coming along
or if not
that's completely
okay
I don't really
like
not a big fan
of the
foam tank
I'm being
I mean look
they're fine
but they're very
I just feel
in a life or death situation.
They're picking death.
Every single time.
They're going to pick death.
Every single time.
They said they wanted me to die.
Exactly.
So, look, I don't know if I kind of want that energy.
I don't want it.
Or in our particular party.
It nearly killed me.
Leave it.
Yeah, I think perhaps we are.
Love is blind?
But love is blind seems absolutely a disadvant. Love we are but love is blind
seems absolutely
a disadvant
love is blind
love is blind
so yes
well perhaps
we'll ask
Yola and
Chantel
and perhaps
love is blind
if they would like
to partake
in these particular
quests
and while we're
having a bit of
downtime
I believe
someone owed me
a game of dice
yes
what is the gambling-est game you can play with iron dice?
Liar's dice, maybe?
I'll play you for the bad ring.
Yeah, all right.
All right.
For which ring, sorry?
Oh, no, you threw it in the forest.
Oh, well, if you were like...
You can play for the...
Once we get that ring back, the one we got...
I'll play you for the funny ring.
We'll play you for that fun ring.
Do you know how to play Liars Dice?
Not at all.
Canonically, yes.
Cassie, no.
Both of you get five dice.
Do we just have to fib?
Yeah.
Is this the Fibonacci sequence?
You roll separately.
Now, you need to make basically a wager.
All right?
So you wager a certain number of a certain result.
So, like, I reckon there's four sixes.
So you only know what you got.
You don't know what the other person got.
But you're wagering across both of you.
Okay.
So say, for example, Salmon. you got, you don't know what the other person got, but you're wagering across both of you. Okay. So,
say, for example, Xamarin,
you think, you know you've got three sixes, and you know that
Cass rolled five dice, so there's a
decent chance she rolled at least
one six. So your three might
become four when you reveal.
Does that make sense? That makes sense.
And the way it works is, you say
four sixes, and Cass, you either need to say five sixes or more.
You need to up it by one.
So you need to either go a higher number, so a higher result.
Six is the highest, so you can't go up in that.
Or you need to up the amount.
So you could say, if he said four sixes, you could say five ones.
And then that is your bet. Maybe you rolled all ones. And so you know, that's really unlikely, but possible.
So you know there's at least five ones. Zamit, that seems unlikely.
But Cass also seems confident. So maybe you're like, well, I'm not going to
call her on that. Now, you can either raise, you can go
six ones, or you can go five twos.
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. When you call, when someone calls the other one's bluff, you reveal,
and then if you're right, obviously you win. Does that make sense? Yes.
Alright, whoever wants to start. Well, you can go first there, Big G.
Four fours. Four fours. Across both of you,
do you think there are four fours? Five fours. Four fours. Across both of you, do you think there are four fours?
Five fours.
Five fours.
Across both of you, do you think there are five fours, Cass?
I can either up it or say you're lying.
You can, yeah, you've got to up it by saying either five,
sorry, six fours or five fives, or you've got to call them out.
No. Let's reveal then.
I have two fours.
First round goes to you there.
We'll call that a practice.
Okay, I was in the best of three.
We can go best of three as well.
I'm happy to have that as a practice.
You don't have to up it by one
as well. You can up it by several. It just has to go up as a practice. You don't have to up it by one as well. You can up it by several.
It just has to go up.
Two ones.
We'll bet low at first.
Two twos.
I reckon
two threes.
Two fours.
Two fours. Two fours.
Two fours.
Let's see here.
Could you...
Three fours.
I call you out.
Well, I have a one four.
I have one four.
You lost again.
So close.
First one was a practice. First one was a practice.
First one was a practice.
You're right.
First one was a practice.
Okay.
Your two, they are big T.
Three sixes.
Three sixes.
You can only up the amount of sixes.
Wow.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry, you can.
I can go like four ones or whatever.
Yeah, yeah, sorry, sorry.
Three sixes.
Three sixes.
Four sixes.
That's probably correct.
Well, you got off the bet then.
Five sixes.
Five sixes.
Well, I'm going to call you out on this one.
Yes, I've only got two.
I've also got two.
Yeah.
Okay, well, it's one each then Final round
Two fives
Two sixes
Three ones
Oh, that works
But all the numbers went up
Three twos
I'm going to call you a bluff there But all the numbers went up. Three twos.
Three twos.
I'm going to call you a bluff there.
I got the one two.
I have zero twos.
Samet wins.
Samet wins. By the hair of...
Sorry, it's a possum.
All right.
Well, I'll take the dice back and you win the ring.
Whatever you want.
Well played there, Big want. Well played there,
Big T. Well played.
It was a lot of fun.
That's good.
Good game. So we'll wait those three days
for the Exhaustion to wear off and
perhaps we'll see if the
ring comes back
with any information about
what that is before we head off. If not,
we'll get it done on our own.
You do find out.
It's a ring of water walking.
No.
While wearing the ring, you treat water as if it was physical ground.
Oh, no, I don't need this at all.
I don't want that.
No, thank you.
Thank you.
Look.
You have to be wearing the ring for at least 24 hours to gain the effect.
It is.
You can actually walk on water with this ring here.
That's bad for you. Yeah. I don't want this.
You told me a game of
Liars Dies and I appreciate that.
So as a token of, you have this.
Thank you.
I gambled and lost and I still won.
That's just to myself.
Are you putting it on?
So you can add ring of water walking to your character sheet
and
after 24 hours you will treat water as if it was land,
letting you know that has benefits and disadvantages.
Figures.
I get to stand on you and be like, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up.
That's the benefit.
Oh, we can share a ditch. You just go in the water, and then I lie on top of the benefit. Oh, we can share a ditch.
You just go in the water and then I lie on top of the water.
Protection.
So, yes, we'll ask the people in the camp if they would want to come on this.
We don't ask her deck.
We do not ask her deck.
Her deck is.
All right.
You don't want her deck's help.
Don't you have death to admire?
Her deck's not even her deck.
Yeah, so you've got, all right, so any member of the,
you all kind of like roughly trust each other for the most part.
So anyone here would happily come with you.
Like I said, you've got Chantel Stormbender, the knight.
You've got, Herdex, I'll just skip.
Love is Blind is a storm sorcerer.
Morimash is
a legitimate businessman and
physically massive.
Let's bring the strong
businessman. Tabertine
is a Arakokra
monk. Oh, I forgot about him, yes.
And Yeola is a tiefling
diabolist. Diabolist?
Devil worshipper.
Okay.
Chantel, I think, is lovely.
We need another good fighter there.
Love is blind.
Look, I'm quite partial to the company of a good tabaxi because, you know, every adventure will end in a good meal no matter what.
Very good.
Does Chantel come with
Yayola
like are they a twofer
they like
they're big
they're good friends
okay well
I don't want to
split up a good
friendship
so we can ask
yes the tiefling
and the
storm bender
if they would
like to come
and we'll see
if love is blind
would like to
accompany us
it would be very sad
if one of them
died without the
other one
interesting
all right yeah they'll all three of them are without the other one. Interesting. Alright, yeah,
all three of them are happy to come with.
Moromash?
Moromash will come with if you ask.
Max 5.
Yeah, and you're a legitimate businessman
and I think someone needs to be here running the camp.
Okay. No, that's fair.
Look, it makes sense.
Because, like, look, I want to look at, like,
the graves of the Thievik the graves of whatever it is
of our fallen comrades
because if you know
all three corpses have been sent away
their families want them
maybe we should have written a letter
who hurt you
where did we find you
a great funny response would be
your dad Adam
because that's what I sometimes say
when people say,
Who heard you to me?
Adam's dad.
That's the first time I've explained a joke
and it became funny.
That doesn't tend to happen, you know.
It's quite the opposite.
What would...
I'm forgetting his name now.
I was going to say Forlorn.
What was that old good friend's name
Falmorn
yes
think about what
Falmorn would do
if say
because he was very much
adventurous together strong
and if
anything was to happen
to our legitimate businessman
that wouldn't be good
we couldn't do any
legitimate business
yes
what happened to the chapter
as much as I would love
the chapter would end
that's what I know about the books.
What are you learning?
Every book is one chapter.
And then when the chapter finishes, the book is done.
No, every book is multiple chapters.
There's a lot of paragraphs.
So it goes letters.
Letters are the small ones that look like things.
Tree Stump looks in pain.
They didn't expect to have to think like this.
Yes, I'm so sorry.
Gail shakes her head and looks at you.
Yes.
It's fair enough.
Yes, Tree Stump, you're doing good.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yes.
So shall we head off first line?
The five of you head off the next day.
If I could remind everybody.
So the mission's at hand.
It's that we're heading towards that church to get the sword sage amulet of fortune teller.
Yes, that's the one.
And on the way, if we happen upon some slave bandits, we have to deal with that particular menace.
Also, if there's some kobolds, remember to keep their heads
or at least not destroy their heads so we can
keep their heads.
And also if we wanted to, there's
a particular old dwarven
stronghold where there's an
ethereal manipulation armor
maybe. There's no guarantees with that one
and they're all roughly in the same direction.
Is this correct? The two of you plus Love is Blind,
the tabaxi, Chantelle
Stormbender
and Yeola. Yes
yes yes. On the third day you have
a choice. You can
start veering a little bit
eastward and find that Dwarven
Stronghold or you can try and get it on
the way back. Yeah I think
the Stronghold personally I would
put forward the Stronghold we do on the way back but this is a little bit opened up to the party of course what
everybody would want to do chantal doesn't seem to mind she is kind of like whatever whatever is
whatever it won't matter that much to us lovers blind says dwarven stuff is heavy better to get on the way back here's a good point
and then Yeola says
but it could be helpful
I really like if I'm going on a trip
once I'm done I want to go home quickly
so if we do it now
the journey home will be faster
and I think that's nice
Goliath speaks right!
That's not actually a bad point. So I guess here
I am the deciding vote
for lack of a better word. I mean it
I mean water is very dangerous and
like for when coming back.
It's got a good point both of
you Yola and of course
Big T. Let's go to
the old
dwarven stronghold to investigate that.
I want to go to bed is helpful.
Can I get you to roll the encounter dice?
Eleven.
Eleven.
I'm sorry.
That's the first one I've rolled this session.
That's okay.
It could have been worse.
I mean, like, not by much.
By one.
By one, but.
Oh, no, sorry.
This is a heavy encounter.
Sorry, you're off-road.
The encounter rules change.
Heavy encounter on 11 and a 12.
Light encounter on a 9 and a 10.
Oh.
Oh.
Well, good.
Yeah.
Will this be the encounter that finally takes down our newly formed party?
Find out next time on Stories of the Greyhill Free Company. In 1977, Marvel attempted to answer the important questions with their What If line of comics.
They failed.
Now, in the year of 2021,
the Plumbing Boys have picked up the slack
and dare to ask once again,
What If?
What if the Avengers had never been?
Months are flying by, your brain cells plummeting.
We are reaching final thoughts so quickly.
What?

Well, so...
Yeah, what?
Okay, because in the...
So is he Hulk, who then... Hang he Hulk? Then hang on.
We're hanging on.
What do you mean?
Please show you're working.
Was he born as Hulk?
Why?
I don't know.
If Hulk can sue, I can.
Five, four, three.
Is that a boy?
Two, one.

I need to know you were listening when I say this
Your siblings have not given birth to children
No one calls you uncle
You are not an uncle
Johnny Storm
But Johnny Storm is the dumbest one, right?
Because he was just there
Why is he just there?
Why did he go to space too?
Is that a lie?
Captain America
They put him in the machine
They're like, he's gonna come out a super soldier
They open it up They're like, he's gonna come out a super soldier they open it up

My robot dick's hanging out, Dad.
No, it's not.
I didn't give you a robot dick.
Why not?
Dad!
Write that down.
Write that down.
A clever Hulk's more frightening than a stupid Hulk.
It's like a clever bull is more frightening than a stupid bull.
Yeah.
If you see a bull and the bull is like, I'm going to gore you.
What if the bull stands on its back legs and is like, let's have a conversation?
I am afraid.
No, wait.
Okay, what's more scary?
No, I'm not. We, wait. It's okay. What's more scary? No, I'm not.
We eat you or your wives.
Couple of cucks, eh, Reed?
