Goodbye, Sweeties.
Welcome to the campaign after the campaign.
This is not another D&D podcast.
Welcome back to Bahumia, everyone.
Wow, yeah.
I'm your dungeon master, Brian Murphy joined by Jake Herwits.
Hard one, shirtfoot.
Emily Axford.
Moonshan Sabin.
Fianced many.
Weft nun.
And called Well Tanner.
Beverly Toe Gold the fifth.
I've got a cold in real life, so I've got a cold on the show as well.
Toe Cold.
Beverly Toe Cold. It makes sense. You're in a cold on the show as well. It's so cold. It's so cold.
It makes sense.
You're in a cold climate and you know what?
You showed up with a windbreaker.
Yep, I did a snow roll.
My girlfriend's dead.
I thought she wasn't your girlfriend.
I thought you were kind of.
You were working shit out.
Oh, okay.
You're absolutely working out.
They were trending very well for me.
Okay, guys, let's do a little recap.
So last week, you guys snuck. Oh, this is gonna be very well for me. Okay guys, let's do a little recap. So last week, you guys snuck-
Oh, this is gonna be painful, listen to.
You guys snuck into the Royal Wedding Welcome Party
at Keep Venerable hosted by the Venerable Family,
moonshine talked her way in with the door man
by offering him a dance,
and you all snuck hard one in as a polymorphed wolf companion.
That was cool.
So this sounds like this was a fun episode, right?
Everything's going great.
So let's replay last week.
After schmoozing with the other guests
and gathering some intel, Gemma Bronzebeard
and her sister, Jaina arrived, Bev was able to pass a note
to Gemma from Hard one, telling her to meet him
in a nearby hallway.
Hard one, unpolymorphed, met Gemma in the hall,
and together they climbed a tower and found a romantic balcony.
Ooh, I like this, this sounds fun.
I need a drink.
Meanwhile, down in the ballroom, Gemma's sister, Jaina, was chastised by a drunk,
veneral woman claiming to be the pal prince's girlfriend. Back on the balcony,
Hard one showed Gemma the gem that was imprisoning Ulfgar, then
she revealed that, despite exchanging letters leading up to her trip, Gemma has yet to
meet the pale prince, and it seemed that the coldines were hiding something.
Gemma and hard one then had a bittersweet talk about their past, when Gemma suddenly
kissed hard one, all was right in the world until an assassin burst through the door
and threw a jagger through Gemma's throat. Hard one looking very guilty, ran up the tower,
Bevin Munchine headed up to the tower to find him, and along the way found Gemma, Bev took the dagger
and the note so as to not incriminate Hard one and through a mix of invisibility,
featherfall, and misty step you all escaped the keep just as party
guests began to discover the murder scene.
Back on your boat, Boundor offers to hold the murder weapon in a smaller bag inside the
larger bag.
Unsure of what to do, you guys summoned an animal messenger, a snowy owl, and sent it
to find Jaina Bronzebeard, who hard one is convinced will be the only Bronzebeard who won't think
that he had something to do with it,
and that's where we are now.
So you guys are on this boat.
We said that you were gonna meet her at a bar called
the Fox and the Thresh, and this is,
you guys wanted to find like kind of the shittiest bar
possible, but you guys never really went to like the slums.
So we're gonna say that this is sort of a mid-tier bar
in like the residential section, as opposed to,
you know, near like fancy shops and stuff.
It's artisanal, but it's still a little chinsy.
Yeah, it's like a, it's a pub.
Mm.
Ooh, gastro.
Sure.
Do they have sweet potato fries?
Is it a vennagins?
Just regular fries.
Just regular fries.
Just regular fries.
Just regular fries.
No truffle oil.
Yeah, what's their mayo look like? You know, they don't have fancy mayo, just regular fries. Just regular fries. No truffle oil. Yeah, what's their mayo look like?
You know, they don't have fancy mayo, just regular mayo.
Oh, Laura's loving it.
This place will do.
Okay, the question is, should I go to one of my fiance's, Mauren?
Rub it in, why don't you?
And I know, I'm so sorry, honestly, I don't like them at all though.
That's good, that helps.
Should I go and try and have them identify the sword for us or should I just go invisibly
and try to listen to like if he's having, like if we think that he's involved.
That seems like a good step one.
And if you can learn anything, if you can't learn anything then then you make yourself visible
And then you question him from there. Yeah, I want to inspect the dagger one more time
Okay, I'm looking to see specifically if there's any sort of serial number or like identifying mark
Because like the dwarves are all craftsmen so they would probably sign their work
They probably also all need like a
Permit to carry a dagger, right?
So there's probably some sort of like dagger registration.
Yeah, this one we could run it through.
That's totally true.
I pull it up on my speaking stone.
Go ahead and make an investigate check on the blade.
Young, bev detective mode.
Mm.
Ooh.
Investigation.
Okay, that's a plus zero, but it did get a 17.
17, okay.
So you look at this dagger, it's still,
have you wiped it clean?
Does it still have a little bit of blood on it?
Still got a little bit of blood on it.
Okay, so it's still has.
I just picked it up in a cloth.
Still has some blood on the dagger.
Don't show it to anyone.
And it is this iron dagger and it's got like a golden hilt
and in the center is this green gem.
And when you look around the gem,
you do see around the inside
that it is like a veneral mark in there.
Okay.
It's a veneral mineral.
So it potentially, they bought it there
or somebody bought it there
and then gave it to this assassin.
Yeah, I feel like there's two options.
One is that Morin is involved in the plot
and they made this dagger to kill her.
The other is that he sold this dagger to someone
and might remember making it.
What's gonna, what are we gonna do
if it's the first thing?
Well, that's why I'm like,
maybe we just spy on him right now
because I think if you were just involved
in an assassination, you might be whisperin' about like,
oh, it went well.
It's somebody daps more and up over killing the one person I love.
We're gonna kick his ass.
We're gonna kick his ass.
Hell yeah, but we're gonna kick his ass for-
I'm regretting her handshake fell in the heart.
Where are we supposed to meet, Jaina at the pub?
But it'll probably take her a hotman, right?
Yeah, Owl's got to find her.
Can we go to the pub by way of minerals and...
Yeah, it's minerals on the way to this.
There's a residential section that's kind of in the center of the city.
As you head west, the city starts to get a little shadier
and to the east is like the slightly fancier side.
So you guys will be walking like center city
and then heading a little east to go to minerals
and then you'll need to go west to get to your slightly
shadier bar.
So it's not super far.
Great.
Great time.
I don't know.
It seems why I've dropped it.
First up the boss at the time.
The other option is we could split up.
It's not always, I don't personally
prefer that as a player, but maybe that's
a whole codependency on the part.
I could, I mean, I could sit at a bar.
I could certainly do that.
That's smart.
Let's have Boundor wait at the bar for Jaina.
Yeah.
And that's good.
And we'll be there soon.
All right.
Should we send Papa with Boundor so that Papa can run and grab us?
Nice.
You take this scramble, man.
Ramp, ramp, ramp, ramp, uh, Papa without asking for permission, just crawl into Boundor's armor. grab us. Nice. You take this scramble man. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Armour on he's just looking for ticks. Yeah, if anything shady happens you've got the best lawyer in the realm inside your arm
All right, so we're heading over to venerals. Yeah, I think that we're sneaking think that maybe we do another invisibility
Can you can you afford it? I can only do to
Make two of us invisible someone should make me invisible
I think because I'm recognizable to every person go to the front and distract them. I guess it's night time.
They're probably not open. Yeah, they might not even be there. I'm just like hoping
that more and like is such a fucking freak that he hangs out there all the time.
It is not super late right now. He would need to be working late, but I think we
determined that you guys basically went to the party. The polymorph was only an hour, so it's probably only like nine o'clock at night right now.
Why don't we do both y'all all make you invisible?
And then all sneak, because I have the best sneak,
and if I get caught, I can just pretend like I'm really horny
and I wanted to see my fiance.
Sweet, sounds like a solid plan.
Okay, God, I hope I don't get caught.
Yeah, no holes in that net.
Yeah, I think the iron dwarves will believe that you're just horny.
Did anyone else just think that it's an iron dagger?
Iron dwarves, iron deep?
It's an iron dagger.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, it's got a golden hilt
in the green gem in it as well.
But it's an iron dagger.
Mm, that's true.
And Gemma was trying to escape her father.
Yeah, I guess I needed it.
Oh, the father wouldn't kill her to keep her.
Maybe over and down such a dick.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Hard one how you doing?
I'm pretty mad.
I'm depressed.
I'm sad scared, flown me afraid.
Okay.
I'm also a little drunk still.
Sure.
Let's keep that going, I think.
I'm just, no, I'm just starting chugging coffee and eating bread before we leave.
I want to be clear I'm ready to fucking kill some of her right.
Okay, so I'll cast invisibility on both y'all.
Great.
And then let's get this sneak mish underway.
Pursuited happiness is still playing on repeat in the cup.
But like slow down.
Yeah, that is. What you all about dreams? I'm pretty happy. I'm pretty happy. I'm pretty happy. I'm pretty happy. I'm pretty happy. I'm pretty happy.
I'm pretty happy.

You're just gonna sneak lace and up my leaf booties and going for the sneak of my life
Beverly Bjorn bev just all the hell. Yeah. Yeah. Why don't you why don't you do like baby bonding?
So like expose your chest so that you guys can
I just need content
hey but if you need a permahog just let me know
I heard on feels marginally better
for having skin to skin contact
I wonder is there any sort of just like
aura I can bestow upon him that would like ease his pain
I would mind if you're a pug to be general paladin aura
probably makes hard one feel a little bit better.
Okay.
Okay, you know what, that's how I'll make you,
that's how I'll make you both invisible.
We're gonna come in for a deep hug,
and then we're all gonna weep together,
and my tears will make you invisible.
I fucking love it.
I would like to channel the good vibes of Palor.
Ooh.
Into hard one at this moment.
I would like to channel the courage of Malora and her embrace of the cycle of life and
death into hard one.
You don't really care about the trials and tomorrow.

Two drinks minimum.
Okay, so you guys are about to leave the boat.
Are you taking like your equipment?
Are you leaving the dagger with Boundor?
What are you guys doing?
Well, I think we want to get the dagger I did, so we would have to bring it with us.
Okay, let's muscle up, let's take all our gear.
Okay, so you're taking like your ax and Rosaline and all that.
Yeah, cool.
Oh god, Gemma Gemma clip it everything on
No, I kiss the axe
Actually, you know what I don't I want the last thing I kiss to be my beloved
So balnor is gonna go on a little sneak mission to
Papa you
Papa salutes you guys,
him and Balnor, sneak off down the dock.
Okay.
And then we are on route to
minerals, minerals.
Okay, so these guys are-
Absolutely, sneak.
These guys are invisible.
You do see, it's early enough that there are some people that are still out,
but it's very cold here, obviously,
not that many people like fucking hang out outside at night.
I'm a hugger, shadows.
You see, you know, the glow of fireplaces and stuff inside the different houses and the
residential poor parts, rural parts.
All this hig.
But there are iron dwarves going about, so Moonshan, go ahead and give me a stealth check.
You've got your stealthy boots on though, so give it with advantage.
Do you think we can make them malfunctioned
by teaching them to love?
21.
21, okay.
Even though Robo Dogs don't catch you.
Wow.
Do we need to roll or burn to roll?
No, you guys are invisible.
You guys don't need to roll.
You guys are out on these big wide streets,
but moonshines kind of Catherine Zeta, Jonesing Jonesing between the buildings. Always, always y'all. So you guys get to
um, minerals, gems and geodes and around front, uh, you see that, you know, it's like
a jewelry store. So there's usually like a, a glass case, but now there's big metal
grates that have been pulled down to protect it.
And you see that the front door is made of very thick metal and there's like a
keyhole. There's a keyhole is there. If we've been to a place before, can we
misty step into it? I believe the languages that you have to see it.
Okay. Well, the metal is all the it? What if you could peek through? Oh, so that you could peek through?
The metal is all the way down.
I mean, you guys can go investigate
to the levels.
I mean, what if you peeked through the keyhole?
Oh, interesting.
Yeah.
Very interesting.
Yes.
Okay, you know what I'll do for that?
So a keyhole is obviously going to be
pretty hard to see through.
So I'll just let you do a perception check.
If you roll well enough,
I will allow you to misty step through the wall, essentially.
So that seems better than gaseous form.
And gaseous form is always gaseous fun, but.
Oh, I could turn one of y'all into gaseous form.
Ooh, do me.
Okay, I'll put my hand on hard one.
Are you sure about that?
Oh yeah.
And I turn them into gas. Okay.
So that you can go in through the keyhole,
and then I myself use a third level spell
on a second level misty step,
because I don't want to see that.
Okay, go ahead and do a perception check
to see through the keyhole.
Some of the steps.
I'll, you know, I'll case the joint.
You'll just like hide and guard.
You can kind of hide in the alley
between the buildings.
20, not net.
Okay, so moonshine.
So before I say before hard one even goes in the door,
moonshine you peek through the keyhole
and you can just barely see inside that there is some movement
in there.
There's something patrolling, something unnatural,
like some kind of little robot guy or something.
Oh, wait a second.
Do we even want to do this?
Do we even want to go in there if it's yeah, if it's a security if it's a security guard
Should we are you in though like did you miss?
He did you actually before she was looking through the key. Okay. I'll say that
Okay, so there is some sort of security system in there. Yeah, The question is, do we think that more and might be in there?
It seems like if the security is on, then probably not.
Can we climb up on the roof?
Yeah, or should we do that?
All right, let's do it.
What do you want to do?
Actually, why don't y'all climb up on the roof
because you're invisible so you can do better stealth checks?
Because I might be a loud climber.
Cool.
All right, it is two stories tall. and you do see that on the bottom level that's actually,
that's obviously where the shop is.
There's these metal grates that are down, but on the second level it looks like it's
glass.
Give me a climb check.
Or an athletics check.
17.
17.
Cool.
You successfully mosey up there and on on the second story, you see that there are
these thick glass windows.
Obviously they know that somebody could just come up
into their apartment and just like punch through the window
and get downstairs.
So this is like a very thick window.
And go ahead and give me a perception check.
Nat 20, baby.
Woo!
I see somebody in the bathroom.
You see?
Describe their anus to me.
So this is like a thick kind of foggy window, like one of those ones where they're, you
know, they don't want anybody to see inside.
Like a hotel shower door.
Yes, exactly.
Oh, okay.
So it looks a little foggy.
But you are so fucking pissed that you climb up there and you're like, if this motherfucker
had anything to do with it, I'm gonna find him and I you come up there and you're like, if this motherfucker had anything to do
with it, I'm gonna find him and I'm gonna kill him
and you're looking in and you see.
Wait, sir, focus.
You see this little patrolling clockwork machine.
It's got shredded tires and it's wheeling around
this little like living area, this apartment.
You see that there's,
that there's like a little reading chair
and some bookshelves.
You can't see all the decorations or anything,
but you're like, you got your eyes right up against it,
and you found a part that's a little bit easier to see through.
Can I, am I still on the ground?
Yes.
Can I go around to the back?
You wanna go to the back, sure.
Yeah, I wanna see if I can see
through any windows over there.
Bev, you sneak around back,
and you can assume that this is where the workshop is,
because you guys walked back there, Oleg took you back there to meet Moren the first time you met him.
You see a wagon back here filled with debris and garbage from Moren's workshop.
Back there, there's also a thick metal door.
You know based on the layout
of the building when you guys walk through it the first time that his workshop is on the
left.
There's no windows there, but to the right there's a window with like a metal cage around
it.
Can I see in that window?
Go ahead and give me, actually you're a little guy.
You're a little fella.
Yeah. Go ahead and give me an acrobatics check guy. I'm a little fella. You're a little fella. Yeah.
Go ahead and give me an acrobatics check
to try to like squeeze through the bars.
Oh!
To do a shimmy.
To do a shimmy through the bars.
All right, here we go.
Oh!
That's a three.
My athletics is four though, so that's a seven.
I was gonna say shimmy, shimmy, yeah,
but I guess it's shimmy, shimmy, nah.
Shimmy, shimmy, nah.
You have one of those terrifying little kid moments where you stick your head through some bars
And then you can't get them out. Uh-oh and dad's not here to help and
Bounders not here to grease the bars with butter pull you out
And my stuck a seven a seven is good enough for you not to get stuck
Okay, you do for a brief moment. You're, oh shit, I am stuck, I can't fit in here.
I can put yourself out.
Save you.
Yeah, my teen aura.
One of your white heads popped on the way in.
Yeah.
Did I manage to see anything inside?
Much like hard one looking through the window up there,
it's very like foggy and stuff.
I'll say not being able to stick your head
through the little cage thing,
you can do a perception check with disadvantage.
Okay.
It's gonna be a five.
You see that it's dark in whatever this room is.
But if there was like a little reading light on
or something, you would have a hard time seeing it
from where you are and with this foggy window film.
I have a question time seeing it from where you are and with this you know foggy window film. I have a question. Okay. Can I cast dispel magic through the lock hole on this little security
guy? Yes. Because you saw him. You gave a little perception check. They sent your reaction and it sounds like maybe a bad idea.
I'm not, it's no idea.
No, I thought I thought it was,
his eyes made it look like,
oh shit, you outsmarted.
I thought that was, I like it.
Yeah.
Okay, then.
Daddy, do you want to do the one in the apartment?
Or do you want to do the one in the apartment?
I only have eyes on, I haven't climbed the,
I haven't climbed,
so I only have eyes on the first floor one.
Okay. Cause I was worried I would out myself since have eyes on the first floor one. Okay.
Cause I was worried I would out myself
since I'm not invisible if I climbed.
Okay.
Um, so yeah, I would like to cast to spell magic
on the little guy.
Okay.
Uh, you look through the little keyhole.
You see a guy kind of moving around in there.
You, you do a little beep through the keyhole.
That was easy.
And you see him stop moving.
Oh!
Nice!
You know, based kind of like the way a lot of these guys work,
you know from like looking at Juan and stuff,
hard Juan, that he had like this arcane battery.
So you've like pulled this dude's plug essentially.
Okay, our fourth floor is everyone,
and I'm like, just took care of the security.
Turn me into a gas.
Gas time.
I think you want to come down here to do that
because that isn't your studio.
I'm a dive off there.
I'm a dive off there.
I'm a dive off there.
Hard one ever so carefully climbs down the river.
We might be able to just walk in now.
Oh, that's kind of cool.
Yeah, so many.
How many more of those charges do you have?
I only have one third level spell left, and it's a third level spell.
Let's still sneak in then just in case there's anything beyond the row buts.
Right.
Cool.
All right.
So I think to get in there though, I think like I should
either misty step or someone's certain gaseous for him and then let everyone else in.
Right. Sounds like a plan. Unless let me try the handles. It open.
And it's not open. Believe it or not. Let me chicle it. Okay. Yeah. Hard one.
Jingle with it. More in wakes up. Yeah. Moonshan, please gas his ass. Okay.
Yeah. Just for fun. Since I only have a third-level spell,
I'm gonna turn hardwant into a gash's form.
I also think he could benefit from some incorporal time.
Oh, no.
Oh, moonshine, you turn it into a gas and he's crying.
It's raining.
That's so misty.
Hard one turns into a mist, disappears on the wind,
and you're gonna blow through the little keyhole.
Yeah, but first I'm gonna take a little spin in the night sky. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh god, it's oily. It's just stuffed with so many bogears. Beverly's definitely one of those kids
that walks around and they're like,
pfft.
I'm curling you in that.
I'm super sniffly today, so it totally checks out.
So hard one, you turn into a gas, you go through the keyhole.
You enter the jewelry store, you enter
minerals, gems, and geodes.
You see that the display cases
all have thick metal around them, these big garage door type protectors
have come down over the display walls and the cases are all protected with thick metal
and you do see this one little clockwork dude, this little robot guy with shredded tires,
and he's got this big arcane battery
that looks like a gem in the middle of his chest.
It's purple, but it is not like lit up or anything.
And he looks like this like little golden bug guy.
Scarabesque, he goes on how much I like Scarab.
Oh, God damn it.
He's a big gold scarab, and he is stopped.
And you do see in the back,
you hear the sounds of buzzing and little explosions,
and you see a red glow under the door of somebody
like working.
Hard one, by the way, you are no longer invisible
because Gash's form took concentration.
So, you know.
But he's gassed, right?
We're sitting with caution.
Yeah, but whenever you decide to rematerialize.
Moron doesn't seem like the sort that would note his gassed.
Yeah, I think that we can, I think we can still sneak in.
Yeah, if he is tinkering, then why don't I become,
I'll turn back into a man and open the door for you guys.
Okay.
We're gonna sneak under, we're gonna open it.
So we're not even gonna lift the grate fully.
We're just gonna like lift it enough so that we can like
judo roll our beef.
We both do cool rolls.
I still got a door for nidge many times.
You said that the gym was purple.
Yes.
Do I see any corresponding purple gyms
to try and deactivate the whole security grid?
You do not.
You guys kind of get the sense from that
they kind of like work like individually.
Okay.
That they're almost like batteries.
All right. So there's not like an R-C.
They're like room bus.
Security room bus.
They're security room bus.
Even room bus have a dock though.
Oh shit.
Got it.
Yes!
Where's the dock?
I've been really in Caldwell with that.
You find the room.
My dock is very hairy.
Okay, so hard one.
You unlock the door from the inside
and you open it up for your friends
and Beverly and Moonshine enter.
I definitely do like a pose.
You do a pose.
I do too.
Do we pose back to back?
We pose back to back and then we look at hard one
and we're like, oh sorry.
Sorry for your loss.
Sorry, almost smile.
I'm not there yet.
We're gonna try and keep it light.
It's gonna be goddamn hard, but we're gonna try.
Anytime, anytime hard one turns around,
though, we do the back-to-back pose.
Yeah.
Just try to get me to laugh.
So far, I'm no.
Okay, yeah, let's sneak over and see if, I mean,
if he's just at work, though, we're not gonna over here
anything, in which case, I may have to just...
Be horny. Be horny.
Be horny.
Operation horny fiance.
Keep it in your back pocket.
Also a condom.
Yeah, let's sneak over to the door.
Okay, so you sneak over to the door and yeah, you hear, you know, sparks fly in and buzzes
and little explosions and stuff of somebody working on something. Do you think we can open the door without yeah you hear you know sparks fly in and buzzes and little explosions and stuff
of somebody working on something. Do you think we can open the door without them noticing?
There is an iron door here. Oh it's an iron door. Is it locked? You haven't tried it yet.
What do y'all think though about? Well you said that there is security upstairs too. So there's
no point in like sneaking upstairs. Yeah. I don't have any third-level spills left. I mean we could try like manually disabling them, but I
don't know if that's gonna be a good idea. Do we just raise down on the floor and see
if we could peer through the the the you said we could see the red light. Yeah go ahead
and do a perception check. Yeah. Under the door. 24. 24. Okay, you don't see anybody patrolling in there and you can see you kind of go all the
way over to the left side and you see in the right corner of the room are you know some work boots.
You can assume that that might be more and just one pair. So we're not going to catch him doing
anything but we can just try to talk to him. Yeah, I think that may be our only option. Should we knock on the door?
I guess, right?
I don't see what I mean.
Here's the thing, what if we knock on the door
and we've just got that dagger right in front of us?
It's risky, but he's gonna wanna talk about it probably.
We just show it to him.
This is insane.
This is not necessarily a good idea,
but if we just show it to him, we'll insane. This is not necessarily a good idea. But if we just show it to him,
we'll get the most honest emotional reaction.
That's very true.
What if he has a button that just calls a shitload
of iron dwarfs and they come and murder us?
It's true.
Well, we'll need to restrain him very quickly then.
All right, y'all.
You know what?
Why don't y'all just hide a little bit
and then all have the first interaction with him
and then you guys will jump in pretty quick.
I can also prep command so that I can just get him to obey us.
Wait, do you think you can hear us under the door?
Because if I think, yeah.
Then I'll just cast command under the door because it's as long as you can hear me that
I think that it'll work.
Yeah, because then we'll have an iron door separating us.
We've established that you guys have line of sight on him.
All right.
Cool.
Well, I guess I like get down on my knees
and press my lips to the threshold.
Oh, young bed.
It tastes so bad.
Just like you instantly get acne around your lips.
Just oils.
Why is it greasy?
Yeah, and I cast command. What kind of throw does he do?
My one word Command, oh, it is a wisdom.
Okay, our boy Maura doesn't seem like the smartest.
He's got to be playing Street Smarts.
He's actually an intelligence guy.
Yeah, let me see.
My guess.
He rolled a dang three.
What is who are Command? I'll just say open?
Because it has to be a one-work command. Okay, okay, okay, just yeah, so you say open you guys see
His feet stop under the door or Beverly sees it at least unless you guys are all comically kind of laying on the ground looking down here
Oh, he definitely is warm. Okay, you see his feet turn around and he starts walking over and Mauren opens the door.
Ow!
Yeah, he opens the door.
It bashes you in the face.
He's this frizzy hair dude with scars all over his face.
He only has one eye and he's wearing this like dirty robe.
And he looks at you guys super scared and he goes oh no why did I open the door?
What are you doing here?
So you get in here.
Your fiance is hot for you.
Yeah, more and there is a...
I was at this party, something bad happened, made me think about life and whether or not
and how short it is.
Give me a perception check.
It's a booty call baby.
21.
21.
I will say that this is so absurd that he's only he only a little bit believes you even though you got a 21
Still you got how did you you got the horny and you came with your friends?
Why do you how did you get into the store did all like did that idiot forget to forget to lock the door?
Yeah, it was wide open wheat till we closed it for you though. It's such a moron
Oh, like it caused me the moron, but he's the moron. You're so rad, baby. I love you
Yeah, I guess I love you too. I love this we're her cheerleaders. We're here to watch you have sex real good
Yes real good. I just take out the knife and show it to you. Yes, bloody knife. What? Who did you make this for? He goes, I am not the salesman. I put gem into dagger. Oleg
sales it to someone. So would Oleg have the receipts for who bought this specific dagger? Oleg.
As your fiance, I just want you to know that like I'm sort of traditional. So I come from
a place where the woman does the book keep in. So I might as well start tonight.
Right. Very traditional woman. Very hot. Very hot. Why does it? Why do you bring bloody dagger here?
What have you done?
We didn't do anything.
Do you tell him the truth?
Yeah, possibly not.
We're running out of options here.
It's like we can just kill him pretty easy.
We're a opposing sports.
If we need to.
Yeah.
I think we just tell him all.
I think we're too deep.
Cool. You only get so deep before you got a dunk your head under. I'm standing're too deep. Yep.
You only get so deep before you got a dunk your head under.
I'm standing by the door.
Yeah, someone got murdered with this knife,
and it's a friend of ours, and we just want to know who did it.
And it looks like some of your amazing craft work.
And so we thought maybe you would recognize your own work.
So you found one of my daggers at the murder scene?
Yes.
Correct.
You're with us so far.
He's going to do a sleight of hands.
Go ahead and give me an opposed dexterity check.
Who's hot?
Moonshine.
Ten. Ten. and opposed dexterity check. Who's a moonshine?
10. 10. You see, he grabs the dagger, holds his hand up to the wall
and melds into stone.
What?
Disappear into the wall.
Sorry, cannot be incriminated.
Hey, you stop.
I start knocking on the wall.
I throw a javelin at the wall.
You throw a javelin at the wall. You throw a javelin at the wall
It just bounces off the stone
Wait a second. I'm screaming in torfen. Do you crave in son of a bitch?
Come out of the wall and talk to us like a man. Come out of there

Do you have to be able to see him? Oh?
See within range.
Damn it. He's in the wall.
I start peeing on the wall.
They're not urinates.
Yeah, fuck you.
He honestly can't even see you.
He's just like in the wall.
Are there any like, I don't not see anything,
but I hear piss.
So wait, how does, how does, um,

That's weird, but that's real weird.
You're weird.
I live in this wall, go away.
All of you go away.
Oh, all right.
Tell you what, the person who died was very important.
We are going to go tell everybody looking for this murder weapon
that you're holding it inside this wall.
Your house is going to get surrounded by iron dwarves.
They're gonna wait you out.
Who are they going to believe?
Very important member of Vincero family
who didn't go to party, so not very popular.
It's got your signature on it.
Yes, exactly.
That is why I have it in the wall.
I'm cleaning it in the wall.
You can't move in the wall, man.
I'm just stuck in the wall. As soon as I get out, I'm taking a in the wall. You can't move in the wall, man. I'm just stuck in the wall.
As soon as I get out, I'm taking a clock to this.
Ah.
Aww.
I don't even know if you could talk in the wall with each other,
but it's so much funnier.
I'm just really yelling at you guys.
Like a fucking cat trapped in the wall.
He's behaving like a fucking teenager.
When that come out, we're just trying to find out who killed her. We're not trying to incriminate you. fucking cat trapped in the wall. He's behaving like a fucking teenager.
And when that come out, we're just trying to find out who killed her. We're not trying to incriminate you. If anything, we know you didn't do it now.
So come out and help us find out who used your weapon for evil.
I mean, lots of people use the weapons for evil. That is not to my fault.
Oh, you sound like some kind of
That is not my fault. Oh you sound like some kind
In my libertarian nose nose don't kill people find complicit see here

Granted um, you've been on a ship. I
Would take an airship Yeah, no, no, this is for like a long time flying.
Long way trip on up.
Not round trip.
Come out of the wall and you can have my airship.
I don't believe you.
What about like a fast pass situation where you can go on the air,
you can go on the airship first, whatever you want.
What if we kill someone for you?
Jesus.
Would you?
I'm just giving it a shot.
Would you, I hate the old egg.
Will you go upstairs and kill a leg for me?
I'll kill a leg.
What?
I fucking hate minerals.
I mean, just, do you think a leg was involved in this?
Do you think a leg would have a reason to kill the pale princess?
Oleg's no assassin, Oleg salesman, Oleg sucks.
Oleg doesn't know what he's doing.
Okay, well, if you're gonna go wait in the wall,
I'm gonna go look at the receipts in the front.
Oh, interesting.
Yeah, that's cool.
Okay, you go through and you go ahead
and give me like an investigate check.
Can I also do one?
Can I just pee in his workshop?
Oh, yeah, you can just piss on the ground chair.
Great, thank you.

I feel like we don't, we're already potentially wanting for one murder.
I don't want you to kill Oleg, I just don't like him.
Tell you what, I'm gonna kill Oleg if you don't come out of the wall.
I don't, I mean, I don't care.

This is just the deception check.
Okay.
He can't, I mean, he's not in a great position right now.
He's just like surrounded by stone.
He rolled a goddamn one.
So yeah, you slam the door, you pretend to leave.
You guys wait just kind of silently
for like a solid 25 minutes.
All those getting fucked up with Janet.
Just like, stand there for a while.
Suddenly, uh...
The rear report's board is honestly, do we even want this, like, weapon back?
Yeah, because it's got my beloved blood on it.
Okay, so first...
Yeah, blood's important.
Okay, okay. More and suddenly appears back where he went.
And he's like, jump on him.
We jump on him.
We jump on him.
We jump on him.
Okay, go ahead and give you a grapple.
Oh no, you lied to me.

Yeah, oh no, no, no, hard one's not smell.
Okay.
What is the gem in this dagger mean?
It has poison in it.
The blade becomes poison.
You can activate its magic.
It's like the way your blade has fired now.
Would Oleg know who bought this?
Yeah, look.
If Oleg were to sell this to someone who were an assassin or something, he wouldn't sell it to anyone important.
They would send some kind of low level criminal or something.
Somebody that nobody would care about or try to track down, like a dwarf in or something. I punch him really hard in the stomach.
Oh, I...
And I headbutt him.
Ow, stop!
You're the summer dwarf.
No one's strong like rocks.
I live up in the ice.
No, you hide in rocks.
That's all you do.
You go back in the wall.
Yeah, you're like sand sand dude. No, no.
So, would you know who bought the dagger? There are people who will pay a premium
to not to be asked questions.
Yeah.
Who are the crime rings in this town?
If you want to find out about the crime,
you go to the slums.
The nickname for that area of town is just called Frostbite.
It is very nasty area. That is where actual criminals are. Iron dwarves do not patrol there as much.
It's becoming increasingly clear to me that we must go to Frostbite.
Yeah, all right. All right, I hate to leave it like this, but I don't know, go back to whatever you're doing.
What were you working on, by the way?
Oh, that was making...
You ever see a teenage Hamilton into turtles?
Yeah, I love that place.
You know, you know that play that came to Galator Island, it's traveling.
It started here in Frostwind actually.
A teenage Frosty turtles.
Love it.
Making some cool size.
Wow.
Yeah.
Oh, nice.
Okay, that's, we'd like them.
What?
You cannot have my size.
I need something from this transaction.
I feel like all you did was steal.
I told you, gold, I steal your dagger.
I told you to go to that part of that.
Good way for you in the wall.
You're going to do, hey, look, you're an hour part of that part of that. You can go through that part of that part of that. You can go through that part of that. You can go through that part of that.
You can go through that part of that.
You can go through that part of that.
You can go through that part of that.
You can go through that part of that.
You can go through that part of that.
You can go through that part of that.

You can go through that part of that.
You can go through that part of that.
You can go through that part of that.
You can go through that part of that.
You can go through that part of that. You can go through that part of that. You can go through that part of that. You can go through that part of that. You can go through that part of size. You know what, I actually feel bad. You know, I know heart feelings. I know that we broke up. I take jam. Okay, cool. Oh, you're thinking my gem. Yeah, you're an asshole.
You're a, you're a thief. I'm a fucking thief. You're a thief. I'm going to be
ocean. You're not a thief. You're not a thief. You're not a thief. You're a gem. That is a
good gem. You're a jerk. I can't have the fear. I tell his beer. Do not tug my beard, you're off jerks.
Come here with the murder weapon.
As, like, come in, oh, like, did not leave door open, did he?
I tell you.
That was a lie.
Yeah, we got you.
He's just a little robot, he's not a robot, it's not moving.
I goose him.
Do not goose me.
I throw the jet back into his workshop.
I'm not going to stick to your level. You sleep. I throw the jet back into his workshop. I'm not gonna stick to your level.
You jerk.
You're the jerk.
The size has three points by the way.
Tell me. No, just that too.
No.
I love you.
I tried to end this relationship on a high note.
Fuck off.
Fuck off you. You were a high note. No fuck off, fuck you. Fuck off, fuck you. Oh fuck off, fuck you.
You were a terrible fiance.
Oh, like, you suck, that's fiancee.
I'm calling the iron dorks.
Goodbye.
Oh, okay.
All right, Ronald, I got it.
You guys, to cross-bite we go.
We scramp.
You guys run out the door.
I took his beard one last time.
So we're gonna go meet Jaina at Fox and Thresh.
Okay, sweet.
I'm going to do a little role and see if you guys need to do a stealth check
See if there's any iron dwarves on this little stretch of street and there are not
So you guys are able to make it to this more residential area
So since the murder happened at the party it still has not been that long you guys like rushed the fuck out of there when it happened
There was like some people gathering up there, but it's going to take like a bit before there's like, you
know, iron dwarves all over the place trying to like find them. We're already going for drinks
again. Right. So you guys find the fox and the thrush and you go inside. It's this bar full
of small wooden tables. There are candles with thick wax melted
onto the table tops below them.
There's a small bar with a bartender behind it,
this old door of an woman with scraggly white hair
and an apron.
Next to the bar is a set of stairs, presumably leading up
to rooms, it's like an inn.
Mm-hmm.
There are just a few drunks here, it's quiet, it's not as nice or as big as ice to meet
you, the place that you guys went earlier than that.
But, and you see, Boundor is doing his best arrogant impression, he's got a cloak on
in the corner with a mug and Papa's sitting next to him and he's got a little cloak on.
Is Papa smoking a pipe? Yeah, he's got a little cloak on his pop-up smoking a pipe
Yeah, pop-up smoking a Gandalf pipe
Oh
Cute gotta love Belnor that's that a bound or a bound or like
Peaks under his hood to like show that it's him and he will we know it's you, but
I pretend to be really startled. Oh, oh, oh, pal. Oh wow deep undercover. What's what's good here?
I just got a beer, but I've been nervous. It seems like a cider
Yeah, I got a hard side of former honestly my tummy's a little upset because this has been one heck of a night
And so I've just been kind of nursing it here just the one during I rub its tummy oh thank you thanks so
she's not here you child duty rub the tummy of the ups stomach of a parent
I'm so sorry for whatever upbringing you have I I miss Tums. You are a little Tumboy.
All right, so she isn't here yet.
Should we stake out just in case she comes
like with someone else or if she doesn't trust us?
You know, I'm just gonna go, I'm gonna go outside
and just hide around the corner
so that if she comes and she's with someone,
I'll have a report spores with you guys.
I'll take a walk me down out there, don't worry.
I'm not gonna do it cold.
Okay, did take a pipe too.
Did we reclaim the dagger we did?
Yeah, did you guys take it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, from when he came out.
Cool.
Okay, we did do it together.
Let's put it back in the bag in the bag.
Yeah, okay, so it's about 10.30 now.
So Munchine, you go outside and you're still thin?
Yeah, I'm still thin.
But I also kinda look, I'm like a crouched,
but I'd like to find like a pipe or a valve.
So if someone saw me, I could pretend to be like a maintenance worker.
She needs a little blue hat.
Absolutely insane.
Just give me a stealth check.
Just do something.
Can I do a performance check for being a maintenance worker?
If you get caught...
17.
17.
Okay.
So...
And I'm going to hide in a corner of the bar.
And so...
You're just going to go over...
You're going to also air-gorn it?
Yeah, I'm an air-gorn style.
Okay.
The balanor.
The bar with two air-gorns?
Sort of my thing, but okay.
I look a little more brooding though, because someone I love was murdered tonight.
Hey, you know what you have with me? You take... I need this balanor. Okay, I look a little more brooding though because someone I love was murdered tonight
Hey, you know what you have it man. You take I need this bell. No, is there any point in me like checking upstairs? Yeah, okay?
I go upstairs
We could also just get a room and talk to her in there so that we don't have to talk in public
Maybe I'll do that. Maybe I'll wait up in the room
Have that ready to go. Yeah, you can just ask the bartender for a room. Would you like to do that? I get a room. Great, okay.
So you just throw her a couple silver,
and she gives you a key and gives you like a little lantern
so that you can go upstairs,
it's got like a little candle inside.
She lights it for you.
Thank you.
When it's turned on, we're going to the glows up here
about midnight.
Okay, so mint or no mint?
No mint.
Sorry.
All right.
Just ask.
I love you too.
Good night, my baby boy.
I go up.
I guess I answer every thing.
Cool, yeah, she gives you a key.
It says number two on it.
You go up there, you see that there are three other rooms.
So there's a one, two, a
three, and then it looks like maybe the last one is like the master bedroom that maybe
she sleeps in, remember her and her family sleeping. You go into the second room and it's this
cozy little room. There's a little fireplace, but it's not lit. You can start a fire here,
obviously. There's a big bed covered in animal pelt and a little bare-hide rug on the ground. And then
there's one window that looks out onto the street. How bouncy is the bed? It's
pretty firm. All right, that's a bummer. One firm bed. One firm bed. I'm saying
that as I try to bounce on it. One firm bed.
You guys, so we'll say it's about 10 30 at night right now.
You guys wait for
half an hour. She does not come. Hmm.
Shit. I mean y'all do we even have any other leads? The only other thing we could do is just go to Frostbite.
Yeah, that's true. We could ask Balnor to continue waiting for her.
It's true, we did get Balnor in a very nice room.
And he loves a firm bed.
Yeah, buddy does.
Good for his spine.
It's good for my back, yeah.
Yeah.
I rub his spine.
How firm is your bed at home?
You know, the other place that came from.
Oh yeah, me and the wife, we got a queen.
We got a California king.
It's, you know. queen we got a California king it's what's
California California king gays is off I recognize king but oh well we push you too hard
so are you guys up in the room where you guys right now so it's 11 p.m. hmm well the bar is not
gonna close for another hour so I think we should Have down the world just wait at the bar. Yeah, if yeah, Jaina comes bring her to the room and we'll be back
Yeah, I think we should head to frostbite. Okay, and last down the or should if Jaina comes just bring her to the boat
The room they might know about the boat. Yeah
Yeah, it's not a bad idea to have this room
I don't know that I'm a storm boy. No, well, they know that you are here.
They know that a hard one is here.
All right, cool.
And they know that strangers came on a boat.
They can maybe put two and two together.
I feel like it's good to have this secondary location, perhaps.
Yeah.
I agree with Bev.
Also, she might not want to come to our boat.
That's true.
That sounds a little creepy.
Yeah.
Does sound a little abducted. Abductiony. Yeah. Well, maybe she'll go into a hotel come to our boat. That's true. That sounds a little creepy. Yeah. Does sound a little abducted.
Abductiony.
Yeah.
Well, maybe she'll go into a hotel room with our dad.
That's a little abducted.
That sounds like we go.
Bounder has an era of trust.
An aura of trust.
I'm going to date him,
afling, he must stash your friend.
I'm a dad, not an uncle, okay?
Yeah.
Should we leave Papa with Bounder?
Continue that plan? Yeah. I think so so cool. Wow, we're just trusting
We're just we're just globetrotten tonight, huh?
No, I know
Gotta wear my shape ups, right?
We're gonna be walking I'm not used to shoes on us. Like we're bar hopping now. So you guys exit I get a big butter beer to go
Yes, of course they have butter beer. They have universal studios style butter not alcoholic butter
Oh, let's get that foamy top. You know that foamy top
You come back. I love you love you pipe. I like this place. Yeah, I know every time they say I love you
I'll just fall for it. I want to know that everything sucks, but like
She's all right. No, I hit her too. Okay. What's why you ate me? I love you
Alright, now I hit her too. Okay, what's, why are you with me?
I love you.
So you guys leave the fox and the thrush and you guys start
heading west and now you're starting to get into the
nastier part of town, which is kind of good as far as
avoiding iron dwarves and stuff.
So you guys head west through the residential district
as the buildings begin to get more and more derelict.
The streets are mostly empty here.
Save for the occasional
peasant traveling between like Huffles. You see that instead of like these nice
buildings, they basically go from being like perfect houses like all matching
each other to kind of decrepit houses to barely put together Huffles like
pretty quickly. These are the sort of people that if I said I love you to them,
they would not respond.
Yeah, they might stab you in the neck.
Okay.
So you see that inside these huffles,
you can see that there are huge fires.
Like they basically just have big fire pits.
Oh, to heat themselves.
Right, so instead of having like regular fireplaces,
these people all just kind of gather around
big fire pits to keep warm.
Bev, that's our fucking inn.
You can just put yourself in the fire.
That's true.
You will, you're resistant to it, you're not immune to it.
Oh, okay, never mind, don't jump in the fire.
I'm coming into the fire.
I'm coming into the fire.
Here's the thing, I can do it.
It will not feel good and it will hurt me.
But I can do it.
I'm sorry, you just, you look so suave when you do it,
I assumed it had no effect.
I'll do it for my buddy hard one.
Thank you. Whatever it takes.
This episode of NADPOT has brought to you by Bird Dogs.
They're a company that makes pants and shorts, so no matter where you fall and the age
old battle between the two, you can rest assured that Bird Dogs has you covered.
Now we all know when the legwear war begins and we're forced to choose a side, it's
gonna be difficult.
Luckily Bird Dogs has made the decision of which pants and shorts to buy a little easier.
Bird Dogs stretchy khakis are designed to fit slimmer through the thigh and leg to give you a truly sculpted look.
And instead of making their clothes out of restricting cotton, Bird Dogs invented a cloud knit fabric
that looks just like khaki, but stretches so you get a way slimmer fit without having to sacrifice movement.
And trust me, you are going to need all the movement you can get when you and your brothers
and legs are out there on the battlefield kicking the shit out of your rivals.
So when the lower body battle begins and brother is forced to kick brother, make sure you are
wearing bird dogs.

You won't want to take your bird dogs off, we promise you.
Okay, that's it for me, go team pants and enjoy the show.
You guys are walking through.
You see all these huffles and everything.
The only real building you see here
is this derelict prison looking stone building
called the Frostwind Dwarf and Edge.
You see the windows are all broken
and you do see a big fire burning inside.
Hard one, did you get any exchange students from here?
I didn't know any kids kids from this dwarf in it.
This one's even harder than when I grew up in.
Yeah, it looks pretty rough.
And you do hear talking.
And it is like 11 or midnight almost.
And hard one, you know that like you were not allowed
to be fucking up late.
Lights out at 6 p.m.
Hard one, do you have like a code word
or some sort of like dwarf and pride thing
you could use to curry favor with them?
I was thinking we could,
I was thinking we could pretend to be the ice cream man.
And get them all to run out here.
We never had that.
Oh.
Frost went to our must love ice cream.
That must be like soup to them.
They're just freezing.
Yeah.
The soup man. Yeah. They would like that. Yeah, The soup man. They would like the little soup man. Yeah, the Greek we at the
Greek we had the gumbo man. Yeah. He came around. Gumbo man. Yeah. I saw him while we
were there. Yeah. He's wow. He just keeps that soup everywhere. Huh?
Comes in. It comes in 12 different gumbo flavors. Yeah. A lot of pockets full of soup. I
thought that was a weird way to carry it. But you know, what are you gonna do? He got one of those photographers vests
with tons of pockets.
Anyways.
Oh, good times, I missed that place.
I know.
I think there's no reason
that there should be any sound coming
from this building right now.
Right.
Okay.
Should we check it out?
Yeah, can we like just case the building?
Yeah, go ahead.
Go ahead and give me, do you want to be like stealthy as you walk up?
Yes, okay, go ahead and give me a stealth check
This is the casing episode
Damn, that's good shit. That's some 20 that's a 23-inch. Okay, 21 21
13 13 okay, let me do a perception check for just one person because it's only really one person looking okay
So you guys are able to kind of sneak up,
bevs kind of hide and behind, hard one in moonshine.
You guys sneak up to like one of these broken windows
and you look in and you see that there is just this big
fire pit in the middle of the room
and you do see that there are bunk beds everywhere.
Basically looks like a gymnasium like lock-in almost
where all of the kids are in
one room.
It looks like it is not cared for at all.
These children are just kind of running wild.
Your kids are running a muck.
You see that there are kids, like, you see that there's one, like, kind of older teenage
girl, dwarf, who's maybe, like, 15 or 16, is, like, feeding, like, scraps to, like,
a couple little, like, toddlers.
But there are, like, 10-year-olds toddlers, but there are like 10 year olds
like running around like wrestling and stuff.
There are like 45 or 46 kids in here,
just kind of like running around.
There are some kids sleeping, but these,
there are no parents.
And you're saying that this is a place where kids rule.
This is a place where kids starve and rule.
Y'all, let's go get a bunch of food
and just like make them dinner.
Cool.
Oh, that's your classic move.
Let's do it.
Moonshine Deluxe.
It is quite late.
I've been nice and heck.
Where are you going?
I know how to talk to these kids.
I'm going to go inside.
Okay, you go inside.
Yeah.
You see the kids.
Let's all go inside.
Yeah.
The kids look fucking horrified.
There's just like this human and this elf and this halfling of running and you see the one teenage girl looks and goes
We do not have any money. What are you doing here? I didn't come for your money
Yeah, I came to play catch them
I started running around chasing the little kids tossing them up. This is a dwarf in the game from the dwarf in it
Awesome the kids are fun. I'm not even gonna make you roll a performance egg or anything the kids are psyched to play
Catch you like when you try to catch the littlest one. Oh
I'm for you. Oh, I'm a little dwarf. He's got like a little beard
Catch you catch you. I'm going to jump over the fire because nobody is
Little beard. I pick him up and make them pretend to be an airplane.
Oh, this is fun.
And you see that one teenage girl dwarf comes over to you guys and goes,
Did someone send you from the king?
The king.
No, does the king send a...
No, nobody sends us anything anymore.
Why?
What happened to your master?
Oh, the husband and wife who rent door finished, they died.
Well, the man died two years ago and the woman died about six months ago and so we've
been just living here.
You guys don't work anymore, huh?
No, I mean, we worked to I eat rats so I kind of
work I work to feed the kids and stuff the younger kids you know I'm an adult I'm 14. Oh yeah
yeah totally. Where are you keeping all the rats? Because I mean I could make you some jerky
and that would last you. If I had a rat right now I would eat it. Okay can I try and find a rat right now, I would eat it. Okay, can I try and find a rat? We have some food on us, don't we?
We must have some food.
We have food, that's good.
All right, kids, show everybody.
The kids are around, they just start eating,
all of like the little snacks and everything.
I mean, yeah, I got ritz bits to give them for sure.
So why do you come to the dwarf image so late at night?

Can you summon your spectral pop-out to give them some milk?
Oh, shit.
I don't have a second level of healing smell.
Anyone need to be healed?
I can heal.
Yeah, can we like tend to them a little bit?
Yeah, sure.
So you guys kind of take some time.
Some of these kids have like cuts and bruises
and stuff like that.
Especially when I was chasing around.
So why do you are chasing a fell
and he burnt his face in the fire?
Ow, it hurts.
But they do this every day, it's fine.
Can I make balloon animals using minor illusion?
Absolutely.
All right, cool.
Can I make a performance check?
They're already super, they're super side dead balloon
animals.
That's a one, but it's not really all it.
Great time to waste the one though.
Yeah.
That is a 16, 17.
Okay, you make some rad-ass balloon animals.
You make like little dwarf in carts and swords and stuff like that.
I want, I want an X like big dwarf. I want an X like big dwarf. Okay, that's carts and swords and stuff like that. I want I want an X like
big dwarf. I want an X like big. Okay, that's twist that like that. Oh yeah. Yes. Okay, it is made of
pig intestines. So be careful. Oh, I'm going to eat that. It's an illusion buddy. Oh, no, sorry.
A tease. I'm so hungry. Can I be like hunting for rats so I can try and make them like some rats ishimi?
Yeah, I mean you're a druid.
I'll do, if you wanna do like a nature check,
you can probably hunt rats a lot better than these kids can.
Yeah, can I do like some kind of like,
see if you can find a rat signal to like get the rat.
I want you to just do like a religion check
to have like Malore help you summon some fucking rats
so you can make him.
All the rats come out of hiding.
I have two zero to religion.
Okay, what wisdom then, you can do.
I'll just let you do a raw wisdom check.
19.
19, okay so I'll say moonshine kind of goes out
into the alley, puts her hand up and calls upon
the power of Melora, you glow with this green energy and you feel the wind whipping around you.
And you see like five pretty chunky rats run through.
Start like sniffing at you.
And I just say, and I just say sometimes death is the best gift we can give.
And then I just behead them all and chop them up like she's me.
Yeah, and then I feed him to the rat.
You make some rat, she's shooting me.
The kids are super pumped.
And you guys all have.
And I like present it.
I'm like, Juro.
Dreams of shooting.
Dream of rats.
Hey.
This is the best looking rat I have ever year.
Don't be afraid to try the brown.
Great work, moonshine.
Never bring papa here.
Why?
I point to the mouth.
Oh, oh.
Oh.
Papa's the farthest thing from a rat.
Yeah, I mean.
It's pretty scrawny.
Yeah, this is a good point.
Oh, I see.
I lead a class in POSM appreciate.
Oh, okay.
Never eat one.
POSM is their poison.
Is it like a cat? Yeah, cat. Yeah, okay. Never eat one. Last time they're poison. Like it's like, yeah. Katya?
Katya.
Yeah.
Katya, we're looking for some bad men who might have.
Oh, the bad kids?
Yeah, we're looking for the bad kids.
What do you know about the bad kids?
The bad kids left the door for an inch when the adults left.
The bad kids live near the cemetery now.
What makes them bad kids?
They do bad things and they work for bad people to give them money.
How old are they? Are they adults like you or more adults than you?
They're teenagers. Some of them are a little bit older than me.
Some of them are younger. But I try to get the other 10, 11 year old kids
and stuff not to go, but the bad kids go on adventures
and make money and do cool things.
Everybody want to run around and do the bad things.
And that's something for Brad.
All right, Katya, I'm gonna spell this out for you.
I'm not gonna go after a bunch of teenagers.
Who are they working for?
Cause I can't attack some dwarf in teenagers.
My fists are clenched, I can fuck, I can fuck teenagers.
You can fuck up anybody right now.
It's fair game for me.
Oh yeah.
Who is paying them multiple factions
or is there one main family that does it all?
They got assassins, they're hiring out assassins.
The only person who I still talk to there is my brother,
Joris.
He sometimes comes back and brings us money.
But he does not tell me, he just says that there's a boss
and that they work for the boss.
So if we go to the graveyard, we'll find Joris.
If you go to the graveyard, you'll find Joris and the other kids.
Let's go stealth up on the graveyard.
See if they're talking about that murder they just committed.
What's murder? What's happened?
Nothing.
You know what, fuck it. You're an adult.
The princess was murdered. The princess of Iron Deed.
Oh, I am very sorry to hear that.
Thanks, kid.
Was she your friend?
More than friends.
Oh.
We were borderline official.
That's cool.
Yep, we're just letting him have it.
Yeah, obviously.
Yep.
I'm sorry that you lost your official girlfriend.
She kissed me right on the lips right before.
Did I tell you guys that?
I think I did.
No, I've been given you space.
On the lips, huh?
Right on the lips.
Cool.
Was there tongue?
It's a musical mouth. It's a musical mouth. on the lips, huh? Right on the lips. Cool, was there tongue?
It was trying to not dignify. Yes, yes, there was tongue.
A lot of tongue, I like read it though.
We're about to hear.
We're about to hear him.
I did not know why you're talking about this
at a duodenage.
Sorry, kids, cover your ears.
Hands on my ass.
Oh, wow, good for her.
Yeah, it was hard.
Just to be clear, this person was murdered.
Yes, wow.
Yes, and that's very true.
I mean, everyone, everyone, she probably wants to be
remembered this way.
And I know that I would want to be remembered this way.
We all agreed.
Yeah.
All right.
Should we head to the graveyard?
I guess so. Yeah, let's let's stealth over the graveyard. Yeah. Um see if we can
We're very careful. They're very nasty. Very nasty teenagers. We get up to some nasty stuff. I shouldn't have said it like that but we do
Okay, no bad. Don't be shy. We nasty. It's true. We are freaks
Okay, no, Bev, don't be shy. We nasty.
It's true, we are freaks.
You freaks.
You fed us rats, yeah?
Has anyone a little worried about this dwarf image, like whether or not it could be some
sort of mirage or not mirage, but a front?
Not a front, but like a decoy or something like that.
I think you're just thinking about sucky-bye again.
Yeah.
You're right.
You're right.
We'll trust hot people out of bar, but not children.
Well, should we?
I mean, we could do a, I mean, you could get a sense,
do I get any evil sense?
There's certainly not like, they're not demons.
They're not like radiating evil.
I guess I was saying like, are they
going to sell us out the second we leave?
That's what I mean.
Right.
Well here's what you can talk to her,
do a perception check.
All right, are you gonna sell us out the moment we leave?
I'm not going to sell you out.
What are you going to,
I got, I got a Nat 20 on that for some reason.
And that's 20?
You can see that she's nervous
and that she doesn't like these
Kids that are working for this boss, but she goes I
Don't want my brother to get hurt. Okay. We'll do what we can to protect your brother But he helps feed us yeah, and he'd mix up with bad kids and bad people
Yeah, we know it's not the bad kids fault.
They're just caught up in something bigger than that.
I tell you what, we're gonna go investigate.
Whenever we sort this all out, I'm gonna teach you how to summon rats and make rats a
shimmy.
And then you're gonna be able to provide for yourself.
You won't have to accept this dirty money.
And I'm not gonna let anything bad happen to your brother.
Remind me his name.
Joris.
Joris.
I'm just gonna give you some money.
Thank you.
I mean, that would be wonderful.
Yeah, why are we fucking around the bush?
We have a lot of money.
I'm gonna give you some.
I'm gonna give you some money.
Don't, yeah, if you give these kids
fucking 10 gold, that's like amazing.
I give him, I give him 20 gold.
You give him 20 gold, Ben.
That's a ton of, name of,
name of, wing of the orphanage after me. Carp my name and in that bed. We will go up and change the name of door Beverly door
Maybe we don't have to put your name on it. I'm a philanthropist. Yeah, now says Beverly's wing over this very dirty hallway
Okay, I don't know if you want to claim ownership over
That looks kind of like the timeout bag. Bed bugs start crawling door to here. They're called bed bugs now, thank you.
Box, bed bugs all the way.
Ben from Moran now.
Yeah.
All right.
Let's go to this.
Thank you very much for your generosity.
I'm really, yeah, we'll be back though.
We'll be back.
Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite.
But also, I want to get you out of the cycle of needing money.
So I do want to teach you how to summon rats.
If you'll never feel hungry again.
Actually, I've got a lot of valuable life skills.
I think I can see.
Yes, ideally we could just convince the king or somebody
from, you know, to send us money or something like that.
We'll work on that.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah, but whenever someone gives you money,
suddenly you owe them something.
Don't you want to be out of that system?
Yes, I want to not live in a giant fire door
if an age with 45 other children.
I see that moonshine is like pulling out a socialism pamphlet.
Push it back into your pocket.
It's interesting.
Yes.
I'm just saying, she's a good bound head.
I'm just saying, you know.
Wait, are you a socialist or a libertarian?
Which one are you?
Definitely a socialist.
I think you're like full on an arco socialist.
Yeah, I think I'm like, yeah.
I mean, that's how us Crick live.
Yeah, cool.
I do, yeah, I put a pin in the back of my head.
I will return here one day and I'll start another green teen chapter.
You're like an imperialist green tea.
I'm Johnny Apple tea.
Yeah, from place to place.
Johnny Apple tea.
Spreading the joy of Polora.
All right.
Yeah, I'll say I do the cemetery.
Cool.
So you guys continue through the ferrost bite slums, passing these other little
huffles.
You guys smell like meat cooking,
but it's also mixing with like a burning garbage,
so it's pretty disgusting smell in the air here.
But eventually you do find the cemetery.
There's this big rusty gate that's been left open.
It blows in the wind, occasionally crashing closed,
and then knocking itself back open. Above the gate,
the frost wind cemetery has been graffitied to say frostbite cemetery. And you see that
there's this poorly kept, low stone wall surrounding the massive graveyard. There's stones
missing in the wall. It's collapsed in a few places. And then there are these chipped headstones.
And in the distance, you can see this derelict chapel
with a big fire burning inside of it.
And you do hear teenagers running around
and like being loud.
Guys, like the skateboarding kids from Teenage Mutant.
Yeah, these are the footclad essentially.
Quick question, is it time for Operation Nasty Lad?
Oh, I don't know if you could pull that off.
I just like my hair back.
I love you, you try.
Yeah.
That's cool.
Right?
Nasty lad.
Nasty lad, get in there.
I flick my earring, which is the infection's still there.
It's going down a little bit.
I forgot.
I like that.
I like that.
That is ready to burst.
Oh, I use minor illusion to get myself a cool haircut.
Okay.
Sweet. To be a favorite and stealth up to that chapel,
just in case there's any interesting conversation
that's happening.
Yeah, I stealth up.
Okay, go ahead and give me a stealth roll.
Are we rapport spores right now, too?
I'm gonna say you guys have used rapport spores
a ton tonight, rapport spores is out.
Oh, shit, all right, cool.
I got an 18.
Are other people sneaking up, too?
