158. Dissonance from Dreams

[00:00:00] Speaker A: I just navigate marriage by going back to Garfield. I didn't hear. [00:00:03] Speaker B: Now recording. Is he recording? [00:00:04] Speaker A: Yeah, he's recording. I decided to say. [00:00:07] Speaker B: He didn't say it did. [00:00:09] Speaker C: It did say, now recording. [00:00:12] Speaker B: All the way down for some reason. Oh, he was like. He was like Gandalf. [00:00:16] Speaker A: Big voice. [00:00:17] Speaker B: Last time I love almost blew me away. [00:00:20] Speaker C: Keep it all. [00:00:21] Speaker B: Hey, guys. Welcome to Barely D and D. You're kind of sort of maybe a Dungeons and Dragons podcast. I have a sinus infection. Sounds like my nose has gone Voldemorty. But I'm here to roll some dice and to tell some lies. In that order. Apparently, there's something about Frosted Flakes happened last week that I just heard about discussed for, like, five minutes straight prior to this episode, but I guess we'll get into that. Zach, you ready to jump in and take this ship for a sale? [00:00:57] Speaker C: What's the letter? I have question. Is it your hand? [00:01:01] Speaker A: Because on my left hand is my wedding ring, and on my right hand, one of my students left a mood ring in the class, and I've been trying to find the owner for a week, and nobody's picked it up. Today I realized it fit on my finger, so I was like, oh, this is fun. It's on my finger, and now I can't get it off. Now I'm wearing. [00:01:14] Speaker C: What's your mood? What's your mood? Is it angry about it? What's the vibes? [00:01:19] Speaker A: No, it's really calm, I guess. I mean, they just measure heat, so it's low right now. [00:01:24] Speaker C: No, there's a science to it. It's. It's real science. The color equals your mood. [00:01:31] Speaker A: This is another episode of the Accidental Adventures. This is specifically episode 158, which is a very big number. [00:01:39] Speaker C: That's how Greta is. [00:01:44] Speaker A: Older. Significantly older. But I will not say the number for the sake of spoilies and drama, But I was actually. We have gotten to the point now where when I. Because I keep all y' all sessions and folders, when I scroll down to the bottom, I can see the bottom. [00:01:58] Speaker C: No. [00:02:00] Speaker A: Many sessions we have, which is crazy. [00:02:02] Speaker C: That scares me. [00:02:05] Speaker A: Well, we all have to start reconciling things, but this is episode 158. Before we get into all of our stuff, we have our letter question. I have Abby and. Oh, yeah. Okay, do it. [00:02:19] Speaker D: My letter question is, if your character had to jumpstart a car, if their car battery was dead, what would they do? [00:02:28] Speaker A: So their car died, what would they do? [00:02:30] Speaker D: Yeah. If their car battery died, what would they do? [00:02:33] Speaker A: If your Character had a car and the battery died, what would they do? Okay. [00:02:36] Speaker D: Yep. [00:02:37] Speaker A: Okay. Okay. So everybody try not to just answer with jumpstart the car. How about we start with Greta? [00:02:49] Speaker D: I don't know if anyone else knows. [00:02:50] Speaker A: How to answer this. [00:02:51] Speaker B: Can I ask a clarifying question? [00:02:54] Speaker D: Yeah, you may. [00:02:55] Speaker B: Does my character know what a car is? [00:02:58] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:02:59] Speaker C: Can we use magic? [00:03:02] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:03:02] Speaker B: Okay. [00:03:03] Speaker A: Okay. [00:03:03] Speaker D: Yeah. You know what a car? [00:03:04] Speaker A: I'm pressed to digit. [00:03:06] Speaker D: I don't know if you've ever jumped. Yeah. [00:03:15] Speaker A: Okay. Who's the dmn? PC? [00:03:24] Speaker B: Can't be Lashla. [00:03:27] Speaker D: Can't be Lashla. [00:03:28] Speaker E: Biscuit. [00:03:29] Speaker B: Dead men tell no tales. [00:03:32] Speaker D: Biscuit. [00:03:33] Speaker C: I want to see him jump start a car. [00:03:36] Speaker A: Okay, Biscuit. So let's start with the person with, I don't know, something like, really fair. Whoever has the greenest hair. Jackie, why don't you tell us what Ro would do? [00:03:48] Speaker B: That's pretty fair, Jack. [00:03:50] Speaker A: Jackie's. [00:03:54] Speaker C: My hair's not that green right now, though. Anyway, it is the greenest. I want to say that Ro would just, like, magically fix it, but she's not like an artificer, so I guess she couldn't really do that with a car. I think she would look at the car and go, that's a bummer. And then she would look for any kind of bug or animal around, and she would polymorph that into a horse and then use that, and she would just leave the car wait. [00:04:32] Speaker D: That's really good. [00:04:33] Speaker A: True. And I've never heard of anyone doing that in dnd. You could keep like. Like, oh, my God, roaches in a bag and just. And you could just. You could just. You could just polymorph one and be like. [00:04:45] Speaker C: It's got the Cinderella effect. [00:04:47] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:04:47] Speaker C: Keep a mouse and you turn it into a horse. Every time you need it for an. [00:04:51] Speaker B: Hour, you have it for an hour. It's like a fifth level spell slot for an hour. Like, you have to burn all of your spell slots. [00:04:59] Speaker C: Well, not if you're going that. Not that far. If you're just trying to get around town, you want a horse. [00:05:04] Speaker E: Like, if you live in Spain, or. [00:05:06] Speaker D: If you need a. Or if you're in a tight situation and you need a horse. [00:05:15] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:05:15] Speaker C: If you need to get away quickly. Polymorph that bug into a horse. Yeah, that's. Or just strategy or just probably more for yourself, I guess. [00:05:25] Speaker A: Well, maybe. Maybe that's why nobody does that. Yeah, that's true. [00:05:33] Speaker C: Come to think of it, what is Landon's face? I don't know. It's so bad looking. [00:05:42] Speaker A: What about, what about Craig? What would Craig do with a dead car battery? [00:05:47] Speaker E: I think Craig would not get it to work. I think that he would have many attempts. Rubbing rocks together, trying to like, you know how you would start a fire? You know, trying to do that. He accidentally, like, sets it all on fire, not realizing how flammable the car is. [00:06:05] Speaker C: Oh, no. [00:06:05] Speaker E: And it just doesn't work. [00:06:06] Speaker A: Batteries specifically. Don't want to set those on fire. [00:06:10] Speaker E: So I don't think he ever gets it to work. I think he tries to use prestidigitation, thinking it's not clean enough or like, like there's not enough gas in it. So he's like farting into it. [00:06:23] Speaker A: And there's this guy. It's like, it's like the side of the road in Garland, and there's just a guy in full plate, a short, buff dude, and he's like working on a car. And he's just sitting there going, why isn't it working? Just again and again. [00:06:39] Speaker E: Can you imagine being at a gas station? Being at a gas station over. The guy next to you is like, butt, butt next to the bump, like, like in the car. And he's just trying to pour into it. [00:06:57] Speaker A: Listener. [00:06:58] Speaker C: It. [00:06:59] Speaker A: It looks like what it sounds like right now. No one else is laughing. Only me and Micah. Three brain cells between the two of us. Micah, I'm glad you're in this family. I needed an ally. What would Greta do with. With a dead car battery? [00:07:16] Speaker D: Greta would jump start, but she would really badly. She would, like, lick something. Be like, I think I'll lick it. Then she would lick it. And it was. [00:07:32] Speaker A: Listener, that could be literally lethal. Don't do that. Quick disclaimer. Also, listener, if you have never had to jump start a car and one day you do really, really, really, really key bit of advice. Don't touch them. The moment two of those clamps are on the battery, don't let the other two clamps touch each other. Really good life advice. Let's see. What was that, Abby? [00:08:02] Speaker D: Just so scary. It's like the scariest thing ever because it's like, yeah, it's just like a skill that you got to know that you got to do and just like, oh, yeah, just do it. Put this thing here and this thing here and then this thing here. But then it's like, oh, but if you do this one thing wrong, you might die or you might get like huge electrical burns. It's like, oh, yeah. Just, you know, it'd be like if. [00:08:22] Speaker E: Yeah. Landon has to go, yeah, that's fine. [00:08:26] Speaker A: He can go potty. [00:08:28] Speaker E: A. [00:08:29] Speaker A: A friend's car died in high school. [00:08:31] Speaker D: Like, what? Seriously? [00:08:34] Speaker A: Yeah. And so we. We like, as high schoolers, I was like, my car's here. And we just pulled out the things and we. We got it. It worked. But not before. At one point I was like, okay, these are the safety concerns. This is all the rules. This is how we do it. And we nailed it. And we were done. And I was like, nice. And I pulled it off and I like, just put them together in one hand without thinking, and the two clamps would. And there was just this huge, like. Like. Like three feet of sparks just went. And I was like, ah. I pulled it back apart, and everyone was like, are you dead? [00:09:06] Speaker D: Wait, I heard that someone died. Someone almost died. [00:09:09] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah, someone exploded. [00:09:12] Speaker E: No. [00:09:12] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:09:12] Speaker C: He said my friend. He said, my friend's car battery died. [00:09:18] Speaker D: I thought you said a person. [00:09:21] Speaker C: No. [00:09:21] Speaker A: Why would that have been my connecting anecdote? Okay, so tdod. He would. I mean, some people did die in high school, but that's. [00:09:30] Speaker C: You mean. [00:09:32] Speaker A: Oh, yes. Biscuit. [00:09:34] Speaker C: Who are you? [00:09:35] Speaker A: I mean, it's not a. It's not a cool answer, but he just to tell someone to do it. He's got lack. Tell someone to do it. He had lackeys, so he would just. He would just turn to captain or a soldier or somebody. Captain. My God, my car battery. He'd probably. He'd probably. Two people are pushing the car to somewhere to get it, and then when they're there, he's like, okay, now fix it. That's not his problem. He's like, eh, I got power for that. I feel like Biscuit has double A or AAA or whatever it's called. [00:10:11] Speaker C: Aaa. He's just got two little batteries. [00:10:15] Speaker D: Got aa. Don't worry, guys. This guy has aa. [00:10:23] Speaker C: Landon is not had to go potty, but he said Boz would leave it on the side of the road. [00:10:32] Speaker A: Well, there we go. Without further ado, not taking nerds. This is episode. Oh, okay. Surprised every time. Oh, Abby. [00:10:45] Speaker E: Oh. [00:10:46] Speaker A: Grabs in this pause as we. As we wait for Abby to get out her dice. Maybe I don't know. She's just put her head down on her desk and now she's not working. [00:11:00] Speaker D: Not working. [00:11:03] Speaker A: Oh, okay. She's there. No, I just. I thought you weren't function. Oh, okay. We're gonna keep going. This is episode 158 for the Note taking nerds dissonance of dreams. It's a level 14 adventure. The date is 34.88 post birth. CB call the second. [00:11:27] Speaker C: Oh, my gosh. It is. [00:11:29] Speaker A: Yeah. Last month of the year. [00:11:31] Speaker C: It's Rose birthday month. It's Rose birthday month. [00:11:35] Speaker A: Oh, my goodness. What we missed. [00:11:37] Speaker C: We're gonna party. We're gonna party. [00:11:42] Speaker A: All right.

Yeah, basically Tuesday. [00:11:58] Speaker C: Wait, what was the name of the episode? I'm so sorry. [00:12:02] Speaker A: Dissonance of Dreams. [00:12:04] Speaker D: Dissonance of dream. [00:12:06] Speaker A: Yeah, episode 158, dissonance of dreams. So, Fungies, remember, I'm gonna play Moon Song, and it's a really good track, but I don't know why it's louder than all the others. Control the volume on the left. Oh, also, I'm just gonna throw this out there with no explanation. Then leave it. I made a new song last night. [00:12:27] Speaker C: Are we gonna hear it tonight? [00:12:29] Speaker A: But no, no, you're not gonna hear it for a couple months, but you will hear it. And it is 18 minutes long. [00:12:38] Speaker C: Whoa. [00:12:39] Speaker A: It slaps. Your face is gonna melt. But anywho, you'll know the day you hear it. Anywho. So very excited for when that time comes. But no rush. Yes. Okay. So. Dissonance of dreams. So fun. Guys. You all are waking up in the subterranean abode. Warm, sort of loamy soils packed to the sides, hanging roots from the top. Very high ceilings to accommodate the were Tiger Lycan who lives here. There is a soft, padded, like, floor of crushed needles that are crushed to a powder almost. It's so soft, it's like a carpet of tissue. And there are luminescent fungi of a sickly brown gold that bathe the. The home in this beautiful hazel color. And it's just this huge, massive underground chamber from where you guys entered through the tree trunk that Tirard the. The Weretiger led you to. And it is the next morning he told you that he was going to go out and hunt. And you guys have all woken up from a night's dream. From a night's sleep, rather. Where am I echoing. Who is that all of a sudden? No, we're good. [00:13:58] Speaker B: Okay. [00:14:01] Speaker E: No. [00:14:02] Speaker A: Oh, yes. Sorry. Reading messages in the chat. [00:14:05] Speaker C: Sorry. I'm trying to update Micah on what happened last time. [00:14:09] Speaker A: Micah, do you want the quickest of updates? [00:14:12] Speaker E: Yes, yes. [00:14:14] Speaker A: So you guys went back to Tirad's house, and he was like, I'm gonna go hunt. You guys just, you know, chill here. And everybody was like, okay. And his house was underground, inside of a tree oh, my goodness. No. [00:14:27] Speaker B: No. [00:14:28] Speaker A: Flakes have been fr. But everyone is there. And. [00:14:31] Speaker E: Oh. [00:14:31] Speaker A: Almost got Jackie to spit. Take almost. [00:14:36] Speaker B: And. [00:14:39] Speaker A: When everybody went to sleep, Ro and Greta were like, hey, let's cast Dream on Lashla. Then they tried, and then they couldn't get a connection. So. So they. Dang, I can't remember. Oh. So they tried to get a connection, but they couldn't. And, like, they were like, that's weird. So then they. Then they cast a dream on Viskit, and basically through the course of the dream, they figured out Lashla's dead. And there are also some really weird other pieces that didn't make sense. Like, Ro was fully in control of the dream, but things got a little zorgrimmy at one point when she wasn't willing, and she was like, why does that have anything to do with anything? [00:15:24] Speaker C: Got a little zorg. [00:15:25] Speaker A: This woman showed up in the dream and was the one who killed Lasha, also not of rose volition, even though she was in charge of the dream. And they put together that the woman had the right, like, voice and physical constitution to represent. To resemble one of King Yuan's dead sisters, one of the dead anoms who was killed. And they were like, what's that about? So that was confusing. And they woke up and they're like, well, can't make any sense out of that. We'll talk about it tomorrow. And then everybody went to bed. And this day, the second, as you guys wake up in the subterranean home within the Bosch show, the Wormwood, you all wake up well rested, just a real hard sleep. Yes, you killed the count the day before yesterday, but, I mean, that first night's sleep was not enough, so. And then you had a whole day of, like, trekking the next day day. So this was the first, like, rest, rest, sleep. And Ro, as you wake up in the morning, you just feel like you've slept way in, but, you know, in a good way. Like, you can feel that it's like 10 or 11, but. And even for a group of early risers, you know, you needed it. And as everyone wakes up today, no one rolls me a D20. No one has any carcoin dreams. This last night, the first night in half a month or a little over that no one's had a car cry. [00:16:45] Speaker E: He did, too. [00:16:46] Speaker A: Maybe here the party is. What that party do. [00:16:56] Speaker D: Is. [00:16:56] Speaker C: Did you say is? Is. I don't remember. I just keep calling him Frosted Flakes. What's his actual name? [00:17:04] Speaker A: John Bonifit. [00:17:08] Speaker C: Right? Is how you say it? [00:17:12] Speaker A: T? I R A, R, D. Yeah, I. R, A, R D. [00:17:17] Speaker C: Okay. [00:17:18] Speaker A: It's better if you're doing it, like, a little bit. [00:17:23] Speaker C: Is he back? Did you say he was or not? [00:17:25] Speaker A: I'm not. Okay. You guys are still alone in the abode. [00:17:30] Speaker C: I would say I wake up and I. If Greta's not awake, I would wake her up first and be like, you like to make sure she's okay after the events of last night. Since we were the ones up and. [00:17:42] Speaker A: I was just poking her, she's, like, dead. [00:17:45] Speaker C: Well, I want to make sure she didn't have, like, you know how we've been having our bad dreams with our issues, you know? [00:17:54] Speaker A: So I'm like, abby, you yourself. This is the way she did. [00:17:59] Speaker B: Big yawn. [00:18:00] Speaker D: I wake up and I say the yawn and I say, you know, I had a surprisingly good sleep and no bad dreams. Yeah, same. [00:18:14] Speaker C: Which is really confusing after the events of last night. [00:18:18] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:18:19] Speaker E: Should we. [00:18:21] Speaker C: What? Okay. I mean, I think we should tell everyone about everything that happened, but should we tell. Should we tell Craig about what your little guy told you? [00:18:31] Speaker D: You know what I was. [00:18:32] Speaker C: Before Boz wakes up. [00:18:34] Speaker E: Yeah, you should. Craig turns around. [00:18:37] Speaker A: Craig says, awake a few feet away. [00:18:42] Speaker E: Yeah, you should. [00:18:45] Speaker D: I kind of want to wait. So we'll say that at this time, Greta is. She's preparing her spells. And what that looks like on this morning is she's like, yeah, there was. He has, like, a. She has her. Her book out in front of her. [00:19:05] Speaker C: Her. [00:19:07] Speaker D: Inco atrum. She has her incoatra out in front of her, and she's like. She has, like, on each page, there's, like, the title. But then underneath, like, some of them are mostly blank. Some of them are, like, very, very full. You see that? It's like. Like, ones that you haven't seen her cast very much. Like, she flips by Firestorm, and there's, like, a line of note and a little sketch. But then she flips by, like, lights or inflict wounds. And there's lots and lots of like. Like, you know, things are. Notes are written. Notes are scribbled out and written over. There's lots of doodles. So she pulls one up and she. She shows one to Ro. That is like. Like, used twice. There's. There's two notes. There's a bullet point here, and there's a bullet point here, and there's a little doodle of. Of hello her and Tello up in the corner. And then there's a little doodle of, like, a sketch. I say doodle, but they're more like sketches. There's a sketch of the party in the cast room, and it's sown of truth. And she's like, I was thinking, I could use this, and maybe we could ask Boz about it. [00:20:22] Speaker A: Oh. [00:20:23] Speaker C: I mean, I guess if you. Do you think he's gonna get really mad if you truth him? [00:20:30] Speaker D: No, I don't think so. [00:20:32] Speaker C: But Craig. [00:20:36] Speaker E: Says here, I've been here, always here. [00:20:38] Speaker D: I mean, if it's. If it's cursed, like. Yeah, if it's cursed, then he might not be able to tell us truthfully true. [00:20:50] Speaker C: Vaz wakes up. No. Are you asleep, Boz? We can't hear you, Landon. Okay. He said just. We're just gonna go while he's figuring it out. Yeah. So I look at Craig and I go, well, a lot happened last night. And she relays. Oh, yeah, she relays the dream. She relays them doing the dream stuff. Lash Love Biscuit. She shows. She shows them. She explains. She, like, shows the. [00:21:45] Speaker A: Well. [00:21:46] Speaker C: Well, we didn't draw her, did we? I just recounted her. Like, I described her well enough. So I described the. The girl that we think was, you know, the king's sister and all this and really all that information to Craig. [00:22:03] Speaker E: Yeah. Well, that's terrifying. I thought we had a lot figured out. Now I feel like we really don't. [00:22:19] Speaker C: Well, I think we have a lot figured out about a lot of things, but maybe not about the cafes. I think. I think things have been maybe falling apart them in a way. I mean, he seems scared, you know, and maybe. I mean, I definitely think he needs to die because he was threatening everyone we know to die. So. [00:22:42] Speaker E: But. [00:22:45] Speaker C: Boz, are you awake or are you asleep? [00:22:49] Speaker B: Oz is awake. He's there with you guys. [00:22:51] Speaker C: Okay, so. Okay, so I recount it to you as well, now that you're awake. Yeah. And then I look at Greta and make weird eyes and go. [00:23:08] Speaker D: Greta looks down at her notebook and hold on. And she. She, like, winks at Ro and just kind of nods at Craig and she says she cast. She, like, says a little incantation and she. [00:23:45] Speaker A: And so you're casting Zone of Truth? [00:23:48] Speaker D: Yes. [00:23:52] Speaker A: Are you trying to hide this or are you just. [00:23:56] Speaker D: She doesn't announce that she's doing it, but she just. She doesn't hide it. [00:24:01] Speaker A: Yeah, take the. Oh, she doesn't hide it. [00:24:04] Speaker D: No, she. But she doesn't announce it. She just. Yeah. [00:24:09] Speaker A: Okay. [00:24:10] Speaker D: Okay. [00:24:11] Speaker A: So you all have this conversation point, and then. Boz, you've seen Greta cast Zone of Truth before, so she just. [00:24:19] Speaker B: I mean, there's a vocal component. She has to, like, be, like, whipping her arms around and, like, saying random magical words. [00:24:26] Speaker A: Well, Abby. Abby just said that she doesn't. She's not hiding it. [00:24:29] Speaker D: Yeah, she, like, you guys are sitting on maybe eating breakfast and, like. [00:24:50] Speaker E: Hey. [00:24:50] Speaker C: Oh, no. [00:24:51] Speaker E: Audio is cutting out now. [00:24:53] Speaker D: Your. [00:24:54] Speaker C: Your screen is. Maybe it's just on mine. [00:24:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:25:01] Speaker C: Bless you, Micah. Bless you again. [00:25:05] Speaker A: Double blessed. The Cron has returned. Grabby. [00:25:12] Speaker C: I can't even. [00:25:13] Speaker B: What's your saving throw? [00:25:14] Speaker C: Groading. [00:25:16] Speaker A: It should be for Zone of Truth. I believe it's a charisma saving throw. [00:25:20] Speaker B: No, but, like, what's your spell? Save 17 in theory. [00:25:27] Speaker A: Okay. [00:25:41] Speaker B: Oz fails, but he walks outside the zone. [00:25:46] Speaker D: I. I call it. [00:25:46] Speaker B: Why are we casting it? Why are we casting Zone of Truth on us? [00:25:50] Speaker C: I think, to be clear, I think she's just casting it on you. [00:25:56] Speaker A: No, you cast it on a space. You cast on an arrow. [00:25:59] Speaker C: Okay. [00:25:59] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah, I cast it around us. [00:26:02] Speaker C: Oh, that's fun. [00:26:06] Speaker B: I know. I'm not standing in that. I didn't say I would do that. I'm sorry. [00:26:13] Speaker C: This is yourself. [00:26:15] Speaker A: This is the way. [00:26:15] Speaker C: Wait, are we in this? Are we also in the Zone of Truth? [00:26:19] Speaker A: I mean, unless otherwise specified, yes. Abby has cast out on the whole area. Everybody has to get charisma. Stepped out of it. [00:26:27] Speaker D: Yeah. And I know what I know who succeeds or fails. [00:26:36] Speaker C: I think Ro just lets it happen. [00:26:38] Speaker A: Each other. [00:26:40] Speaker C: B. I think you should step back in the Zone of Truth with us. Rose, like, kind of giggling, and she doesn't know why. [00:26:51] Speaker D: I. I just wanted to ask a question about your sword, Boz. [00:26:58] Speaker B: Well, you should have asked me before you started casting magic. [00:27:03] Speaker D: You're right. You're right. I normally. Yeah, you're right. But I just. I'm sorry. Is it a problem that I cast Zone of Truth? [00:27:13] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. What are you thinking? What are you. What are you worried about me, like, not being truthful on. [00:27:20] Speaker C: Oh, that your sword is cursed, Rose. [00:27:25] Speaker B: It was cursed, like, forever ago. [00:27:30] Speaker C: I don't think you. [00:27:31] Speaker B: I did. I literally did. [00:27:33] Speaker C: No, this is player Jackie saying, I don't think characters told each other, did they? [00:27:38] Speaker B: I. I definitely remember mentioning it offhand. And y' all definitely witnessed the effects of it after combat. [00:27:50] Speaker C: That's the conversation, I guess. Let's wait for Abby, because Abby is the one that cast this, and so I feel bad that she's not here. Well, Ro is gonna say, while Greta's figuring out her spell, Rose gonna say, well, Greta's little friend, that speaker thing said last night that the blade Carried by your friend is cursed, and if he fails to use it, it'll be a ruinous end. And I think we're just concerned about you because it. It doesn't talk in metaphors. It talks, like, literally. And I guess we were worried that if you did, you know, that you were going to have a ruinous end if you kept. Not you. If you kept using. Ro's, like, starting to. [00:28:48] Speaker B: More than happy to discuss this if we had just started talking about it, but I. I'm not discussing this right now. I think I'm a little perturbed that y' all would just try to, like, automatically assume that I would just start lying and casting the truth on me. But, like, I feel like we have been traveling long enough that if you just started asking me questions or open a conversation, we could at least, like, come to some sort of, like, what do y' all think about me? Like, do y' all think that I'm just gonna, like, not tell y' all the truth on something or that I, like, hide secrets from y' all on purpose? [00:29:26] Speaker C: Ro answers truthfully. She goes, no, I don't. I don't think you hide secrets from us in any malicious way. The only time I think you've hid a secret is when you were trying to protect us. Maybe you would maybe hide a secret. And she's. That's 100% true, because she's in the zone of truth. [00:29:44] Speaker B: I told you guys everything. I even told you, like, where the. Like, I told you all about the chime and my experience in the Feywild. Like, I mean. I mean, I know it took me a while to come to that, and I guess I can understand, like, why it would make you pause, but I think the fact that I would even just, like, voluntarily come up, like, discuss that, especially knowing how sensitive it is to, like, Greta, I feel. I'm just a little shocked that we're at this. We're in this moment right now. [00:30:17] Speaker D: I think. I think you're right, Boz, and I'm sorry I didn't. I should have worked up more gracefully, but the blade is cursed, and I know that curses can. I didn't know what that magic had, and I should have asked before I cast, and I'm sorry for not asking, but I don't know what. I know that you wouldn't lie to us, but I don't know what magic you're under, and I don't trust that. [00:30:49] Speaker C: Sort of, like, if the sword was keeping you from. So you were worried that maybe the sword was Keeping him from telling us everything. [00:30:58] Speaker D: I don't, I don't. [00:31:00] Speaker B: It's, it makes, I mean, I guess it makes sense, but if the thing, if I don't know what the speaker is that y' all are talking about, but it sounds like, like it's able to tell y' all at least a general idea of what and it, it sounds like it was mainly talking about what happened to me if I could take to use it, not about what my interactions would be with you guys. I don't know. [00:31:24] Speaker C: I, I, I don't think we're worried about if it affects us or not. We're worried about you. [00:31:29] Speaker D: Yeah. What do you know about the blade? [00:31:35] Speaker B: I, I'm not going to talk about it right now. [00:31:38] Speaker D: B, in the, the zone of truth. Or is he. [00:31:40] Speaker B: No, I'm out. I stepped away. [00:31:45] Speaker D: Okay. Do you want to find a different time to talk about this? [00:31:53] Speaker A: Sure. [00:31:54] Speaker B: I say let's give it some time. I'm happy to talk about it. I'm not, it's not even a big thing. Like, I'm, I just think we have, like, kind of some boundaries. [00:32:07] Speaker D: We can talk about the magic, but I, I, I know that magic can bind us in what we can and can't, and I, I know that my magic probably can't overcome everything, but if there's something that's, if there's something that's. [00:32:29] Speaker B: Binding you, you were hoping, you were hoping that if, like, there was, like, some kind of magical restraint being placed on me at a time, talk about the sword, that Zone of truth will, like, overcome that and enable, like, us to be able to have a discussion about it. [00:32:40] Speaker E: Yes. [00:32:41] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:32:41] Speaker B: Okay. You weren't worried about, like, me just, like, lying, like, to you? No, you're. Okay. [00:32:46] Speaker A: Okay. [00:32:47] Speaker B: I'm sorry. Yeah, that makes sense. [00:32:49] Speaker D: Sorry, I, I approached wrong and she. [00:32:53] Speaker C: Approached it that way in case by giving you a heads up, it gave the sword a heads up. [00:32:59] Speaker B: Makes sense. Makes sense. I, I mean, okay, sorry. I'm a little on edge right now. I would appreciate if we could, I don't know, discuss that or, I don't know. I can see why you would do that. That makes sense. [00:33:18] Speaker D: Would you be comfortable discussing it in Zone of Truth at any time? [00:33:25] Speaker B: I don't want to discuss it in zone of truth, but I will talk about it with you. [00:33:30] Speaker D: Why not in, why not in this? [00:33:33] Speaker B: Because I, I want you to trust me. [00:33:42] Speaker C: Again. I think it's, I think it's. We trust you, and I'm, I'm still. And Rose, like, see, I'm still here. I trust you fully. I just think we don't trust this sword. [00:33:53] Speaker D: I, I, yeah, I, I trust you. I also think that, I mean like we are a close group and, and we are all individuals and we all boundaries. But I, I would, as such a type who's working with such life or stuff, I would want us all to be able to discuss important items and important things within this space. And I just. [00:34:19] Speaker B: My book in the story, I'm willing to talk about it with you, but it's going to be outside of Zone of Truth. [00:34:28] Speaker D: Why? [00:34:29] Speaker B: Because I, I want you to be able to trust me. And I, I mean I'll even let you like cast identify on it if you want to after we're all done. Like I don't. Because I don't want, I don't want our relationship and our trust in each other to be predicated on a truth serum. I think we should be able to know each other if something's weird and what we're saying to each other. Like if what I'm saying doesn't make sense to you, like if it sounds funky, like if it sounds weird, I think you would know that. I think we would all know that. [00:35:04] Speaker C: Again, this sounds a little suspicious. Like it's the sword. [00:35:08] Speaker D: Not to be that person that you want. [00:35:12] Speaker B: Ask me any question you want. I'm not coming into zone of Truth. [00:35:16] Speaker D: That's. I, I trust you, boss. But that I guess, I guess I, that's suspicious to me. [00:35:23] Speaker B: I, you haven't even asked me a question yet though. Like you haven't. Like I had. You haven't even asked me a question. Like to see what my answers would be. We haven't even. I'm just telling you what I want to do. [00:35:32] Speaker C: But. [00:35:33] Speaker D: I understand. But we haven't asked you a question and you stepped out right away. [00:35:39] Speaker B: Yeah, because I had no idea what was going on. You just started casting a high level spell that affects like what I say and what I can do. I've been sleeping for like a whole day and I come back and all of a sudden now, like I don't know what happened the past 24 hours. What if you've had something weird happen to you? [00:36:01] Speaker D: I would wouldn't be able to hide it from you because I'm in a spell that makes me tell the truth. [00:36:06] Speaker B: What if that's the sword? What if that's the sword? [00:36:10] Speaker E: That's not how. That was a joke. Right now. [00:36:12] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:36:13] Speaker B: I'm not going to be forced to stand in that circle. If we had talked about it Before, I would have been more than happy to. [00:36:20] Speaker D: Would you be willing. If we. If we gave it some time, would you ever be. Be willing to have a conversation with us in this circle? [00:36:27] Speaker B: I'm not giving an answer until we have this discussion right now. Now, like, ask me questions, judge me by my answers, and then we can talk about if you have any like, suspicion over what the details are. You can even cast identify on it after you're done. Like, I do not care. But I want at least my word to be measured by what my answers are before we start trying to bring in additional power into what's going on. [00:36:50] Speaker C: We trust your word. It's just if the sword is making you do something. [00:36:55] Speaker B: We're going in circles. This is. I'm not going to budge on him. [00:36:59] Speaker D: I close the circ book and I. I like, let the magic fall. [00:37:03] Speaker C: Wait, before. As the magic's falling, Ro just blurts out. She goes, by the way, does anyone else think Tirard is kind of hot? Never mind. [00:37:16] Speaker E: And she. [00:37:16] Speaker C: And she walks away. [00:37:19] Speaker A: That took me a second. [00:37:20] Speaker C: Because of the zone. [00:37:23] Speaker D: Dm. Is there any way to tell whether or not this, like, I. I want to be able to show that. Does boss just have to trust me on that? [00:37:34] Speaker C: Oh, that the spell is gone. [00:37:36] Speaker D: That the spell is gone. [00:37:38] Speaker C: I think you can feel it if it's gone, right? [00:37:40] Speaker A: I would. Yeah. And I would say that like I. [00:37:42] Speaker B: Know where it was. I could just not go in that 15 foot radius. [00:37:45] Speaker D: Oh, okay. Yeah. So. So I close my book and I also. [00:37:49] Speaker A: I would say that Boz can feel when it's gone. [00:37:51] Speaker D: I let the magic drop. And then I pause and say. I say. I hold up the speaker and I say, I asked it a question last night and it said the blade carried by your friend is cursed. If he fails to use it, it will be a ruinous end. And I. Do you know anything about this? Do you know what's. [00:38:14] Speaker B: Let's pull up the document real quick, Zach, so that I can. [00:38:18] Speaker A: It has been a while. I'm also. I'm looking at the one that I sent you real fast to make sure that we're looking at the same one. Cuz you know me and my different editions. Yes, everything looks the same. [00:38:38] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:38:39] Speaker A: Okay, cool. Looks like we have the same up to date thing, but this is not sarcastic at all. I love when players do things I wasn't expecting. [00:38:51] Speaker B: Exactly. Can I have a one off with Zach? Because I'm wondering if we have the same document because what I'm read. Can. Can I like hop off into, like, a call with Zach, make sure I handle this accurately before. [00:39:02] Speaker C: I guess we could all leave. [00:39:06] Speaker B: I don't know. I don't want it to be a big thing. I don't think it's a big thing. [00:39:08] Speaker C: Well, no. So that way it's on the. [00:39:10] Speaker B: I just want to make sure I do that. [00:39:13] Speaker E: Yeah, no, that's true. [00:39:15] Speaker C: We'll leave. [00:39:15] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:39:16] Speaker E: So. [00:39:21] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:39:22] Speaker C: Okay. [00:39:23] Speaker A: Landon. The moment they left, the screen got fuzzy and looked like a huge thumb. [00:39:28] Speaker B: Oh, really? That's funny. Jackie, can you. What do you do? [00:39:33] Speaker A: No, I think she. She was saying something about her audio, and then she popped back out. So are we talking about the. [00:39:42] Speaker B: Daki. All right. [00:39:51] Speaker A: I don't think she can hear us. [00:39:57] Speaker E: All right. [00:39:57] Speaker A: Are we talking about the curses section? Second half of the document? [00:40:01] Speaker B: Yeah. There's nothing that says that if I don't use it, something bad will happen. [00:40:07] Speaker A: No, there's not. [00:40:10] Speaker B: Okay. I just want to make sure I understood that. It's just that if I use it and the thing happens that causes the stuff to go down, then I go to the bad place. Right? [00:40:17] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:40:19] Speaker B: And that happens within 20, 24 hours of after expending something. [00:40:25] Speaker A: It sounds like expand. It seems like, from what you're putting together, that you do know what the curious speaker is. It's that. That. The gem inlaid skull, that robot from the Opalescence home where, like. Or, no, that Greta bought. Where if you ask it a question, it'll tell you some random fact from the universe or something. And what you were not here from the session was I had Abby do these rolls and like, three times in a row on a D100, she got, like, exactly what she wanted. And I was like, okay, what is your question about? And she was like, something about Boz. And then so we came around to, like, something about this item. And so that's, like, above table. But what Boz could be putting together as he's thinking about this is that, like. Okay, so what that thing said about the sword doesn't exactly line up with what I know about the sword. [00:41:18] Speaker B: Oh, that's what Bos put together. [00:41:21] Speaker A: I mean, you. You could be noticing, like, well, I know a little bit about this sword, and, you know, I felt it's. It's its effect when I didn't utilize those charges. And then what this thing. What Ro and Greta are saying, this thing said to them does not line up with what you know about the sword. And then also, what effect. [00:41:40] Speaker B: What effect did I feel when I didn't use the charges? [00:41:43] Speaker A: The. The thing we're talking about the second. [00:41:45] Speaker B: Paragraph when I didn't use them. [00:41:48] Speaker A: Yeah, right. Oh, no, when you do. Yes, when you do use it. Sorry. When you do use it, it's syntax. But point being. Point being, you know about. You know about the issue in that second paragraph. You know that this thing that this magic skull told them, this magic carving of a skull does not line up with what you know about the sword. [00:42:15] Speaker B: Which could either be true or false. Yeah. So it could just be like, either. [00:42:19] Speaker A: It'S lying or there's something you don't know. [00:42:23] Speaker B: Okay. [00:42:24] Speaker A: And then however you. However you would interpret the first and third paragraphs, again, that's all up to you and your role play. [00:42:35] Speaker B: The thing is, I don't think boss would be super. And for boss, this is no big deal. Right? Like, it just comes down to, like, resistance to things. Like, I feel like the idea he's not gonna try to part with this sword if other people know that it's cursed. I don't think that would cause him to try and set it down. I think that what it would reflect is him not believing what the thing's saying. I feel like that would be, like, the thing. Like, he doesn't believe, like, whatever. Just wrong. [00:42:58] Speaker A: However you're. It's your character, however you're role playing it is. Right. I'm just saying, remember the first and third paragraph is all. Just remember it. [00:43:04] Speaker B: I know, but if I do it like that, would you. Would you say that would still be fair? Like. Like, say, hey, like, if this thing has charges, I use them. It makes big damage happen, but then it hurts me at the end. [00:43:15] Speaker A: Exactly. Yeah. So, like, so to be clear, there. There's room for levels of nuance. Boz can be, like, tactically keeping this thing makes sense. Just know that at some point, if it comes to the point where he's like, oh, I want to put this thing down or something. [00:43:29] Speaker C: Thing. [00:43:29] Speaker A: That's where the first and the third paragraphs become. [00:43:32] Speaker B: Yes. [00:43:32] Speaker A: Relevant. [00:43:33] Speaker B: Yes. It become hard. Okay. Yeah. Makes sense. [00:43:35] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Also, in your defense, I don't think we've opened this document for, like, six months. We, like, looked at it forever ago. [00:43:43] Speaker B: And then, you know, I sent the till. They can come back, by the way. [00:43:47] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. There's an expression in Portuguese, fogo no paquino. And it means there's a fire in the little park. And basically, like, if it's like, oh, there's tea or there's drama, you say fogo no bakino. Like, you can see a fire in a Little Park. I don't know why, but Fogo. No Baki. Okay. I think everybody's running back in. [00:44:17] Speaker B: Yeah, Jackie stayed in the call for some reason, but I don't know why, but Hope. She didn't hear anything. [00:44:22] Speaker A: Yeah, but I think everything's. I don't think she even knows we contact. I think she was, like, deafened. I don't even. I don't even think she knows that. [00:44:29] Speaker B: She'S muted, but she's not deafened, so. [00:44:31] Speaker E: She probably, like, left the room. [00:44:34] Speaker C: I went to the. [00:44:35] Speaker B: Why didn't you leave the call? [00:44:38] Speaker C: Oh, I didn't even think about it. I'm sorry. I swear I wasn't on. I just muted and turned off and I took off my headphones and I went to the bathroom. What? Do you not believe me? I will step into the zone of truth. All right. [00:44:56] Speaker B: Zone of truth. [00:45:00] Speaker C: I swear, I. I just didn't think about it. I was just thinking. We were just signing off. I literally left the room. I looked at possibly getting a snack, and then I went pee, and I couldn't decide on a snack. [00:45:15] Speaker B: All right. [00:45:17] Speaker E: Story, huh? [00:45:20] Speaker B: I'm all good to go. [00:45:21] Speaker D: Okay. Yeah. [00:45:26] Speaker C: So what. What. What did I miss? Or what are we. [00:45:30] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:45:30] Speaker A: Greta says Land and I were just clarifying things. Was all okay. [00:45:34] Speaker B: Yes. [00:45:34] Speaker A: And then you guys. Well, there was a lot to clarify. [00:45:40] Speaker E: Like, Abby asked the question of, like, what do you know about the sword? And that's where we left off. [00:45:46] Speaker A: Oh, way to track details, Micah. I forgot. [00:45:48] Speaker B: So Boz says basically this thing is. Does cool damage. I don't know how to say that. It makes frosty ice hurt people. And when you kill something, it gets like an extra charge. And I. If I want to, I can like, break those charges when attacking something to deal even more like, like, hurt to it. But if a thing dies that I attack, then within 24 hours, I take cold damage too. But from what I understand about it, as long as it doesn't kill me, then I'm fine. But I'm also can be resistant to cold damage, just natively so. And the amount that it does is quite low compared to what the. The like, where I'm currently at. So it's not very. It's not a very. It hasn't been a big consideration to me. [00:46:52] Speaker D: Did you know. [00:46:53] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:46:54] Speaker D: That it was cursed? [00:46:57] Speaker B: Not until I, like, attuned to it. But like I said, it wasn't. It wasn't a huge deal. It was just like a thing that happened. But like. [00:47:05] Speaker D: Yeah. Yeah. [00:47:09] Speaker B: If I die, if I go down within it does cold damage to me, then, yeah, something very bad will happen. But as far as I know, that's the only thing. [00:47:17] Speaker C: Yeah, but why would that little. Why would the little speaker then say, if you don't use it, then it's a ruinous end? [00:47:24] Speaker D: That doesn't. Yeah, getting a little damage doesn't sound now. [00:47:28] Speaker B: And to be fair, it's not a little damage. It's 4D6. [00:47:38] Speaker C: So don't know math. RO says no. [00:47:43] Speaker B: 46. So up to 24 points of cold damage, max. [00:47:51] Speaker D: Where did we get the sword again? [00:47:53] Speaker B: From the Hag cave. [00:47:55] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:47:56] Speaker D: Ah, yeah, that doesn't. Yeah. [00:48:00] Speaker B: It was next to the child's jewel encrusted finger bone. [00:48:05] Speaker C: Okay. That's right. [00:48:09] Speaker E: Oh, insight. [00:48:12] Speaker D: Yeah. Can I do an insight on the sword? [00:48:14] Speaker A: What? [00:48:16] Speaker E: Just on boss? [00:48:18] Speaker D: There's a lot of weirdness. Yeah. [00:48:20] Speaker A: Okay, well, hold on. Let's be specific. Okay, so, Craig, what kind of. You're making an inside check on boss? What for? Specifically. [00:48:33] Speaker E: To know if there's any hidden information that, like, he's withholding. [00:48:36] Speaker B: Okay. [00:48:37] Speaker E: To see if, like, he's like. [00:48:37] Speaker A: Okay, you're trying to read him? To see if he's emitting anything. Okay, so, Craig, make an insight check. Landon, you know the drill. Persuasion or deception doesn't matter and do not tell us. So you make your role and then. [00:48:51] Speaker E: Guys, wait. From what website? [00:48:59] Speaker B: If you just Google Dice Roller, Just. Just Google dice Roller, it'll be in the Google search. [00:49:05] Speaker A: It was too much. Micah left. She's gone. Never saw her again. She couldn't come back to the campaign. You had Google? I hardly know her. Thank you. Well, that was the. Every time someone takes an action, they then disappear. So moving on from that, I guess. [00:49:25] Speaker D: Oh, she's back. [00:49:41] Speaker B: I don't know what you're saying. [00:49:42] Speaker C: We don't know what you're saying. [00:49:45] Speaker B: We can hear you. [00:49:47] Speaker E: Huh? [00:49:48] Speaker B: What is going on? What did you roll? [00:49:50] Speaker E: I typed dice roller, but I typed it into the website of Discord. [00:49:58] Speaker A: Oh, my God. Micah. Micah, new tab. Here we go. [00:50:11] Speaker E: Okay. [00:50:13] Speaker A: Michael was like, I'll light a candle. And she put her character sheet in a flame. [00:50:18] Speaker E: Oh, my gosh. Okay, inside insight. Insight modifier. I'm getting there. I rolled a 17. [00:50:32] Speaker A: Okay, a 17. What did we get? Boss. [00:50:38] Speaker B: I got a 10. [00:50:39] Speaker E: Okay. [00:50:40] Speaker A: Okay. So in this moment of emotional vulnerability, Craig, you feel like you're reading the friend, you know, very accurately. Boz, as Craig reads you very accurately, or, well, Landon, rather, would you say that there's. That Craig is getting any intonation that Boz might Be withholding anything or Boss is being as truthful as he knows to be. [00:51:09] Speaker B: He's. He's definitely feeling like Boss is being as truthful as he knows to be. [00:51:14] Speaker A: Okay, so, Craig, from. Again, remember, insight checks are not mind reading. But you. You know, but you. Like, there's no magic in it. You're just reading someone. But you know each other very well. One could argue as well as we know each other. I mean, maybe not human Landon specifically, but most of us for the sake of it. And so you get the feeling that, like, Boss is very much behaving as, you know, boss to behave. [00:51:38] Speaker B: Wait, wait, wait. [00:51:40] Speaker A: You. [00:51:40] Speaker B: You get the feeling that Boz is being as truthful as he knows to be, but it's a. He's a little unnerved by, like, something is like he's like some, like, a thought, like, thinking on something, but he's. He's as truthful as he knows. [00:52:01] Speaker D: That doesn't sound very true. [00:52:04] Speaker A: Well, I mean, remember, insight's not that that it's actually a great answer. You're just reading his mannerisms. It's not mind reading. You know, it's just. You're just picking up on emotions and involuntary facial expressions and body language and stuff. So, you know, you don't know what's going on in his head, but. So you're picking up that it seems like he's behaving like himself, but it also, in Landon's words, looks like he's unnerved by something. Like a thought has pricked his mind. I'm going to rename this session Fogo. No Pakino. This is a great episode. [00:52:34] Speaker C: What. [00:52:36] Speaker D: What does that mean? [00:52:38] Speaker A: You know? You know, basically, it's. It's Portuguese. It means there's a little. There's a fire in the little park, and it's basically like, oh, there's drama. [00:52:47] Speaker C: Oh, I love that. That's cool. Could I. Could I. Go ahead, Go ahead, Go ahead. [00:52:59] Speaker E: Craigo, wasn't there a time that we had a magic weapon that, like, when we held it, we didn't want to let it go? [00:53:06] Speaker D: That was my shield. Yeah. And I. I tried to put down. [00:53:11] Speaker C: Which we also got from a hag. Pointing that y' all got from a hag. [00:53:16] Speaker D: That was. That was a weapon that I. Not. Or that was a shield. I wasn't aware that. That I was under influence until I tried to unattune for. [00:53:29] Speaker E: That's what I mean. Like, boss, is there a way that you can remove yourself from this item just for a little bit to just like, be Separate. [00:53:42] Speaker C: Since you've had it, have you, since you've had it, have you unattuned from it? [00:53:47] Speaker B: Like, I don't have another weapon. Like, I don't have anything else to defend myself. [00:53:51] Speaker E: I'm just talking. [00:53:52] Speaker C: You're very powerful magically. I don't use a weapon. [00:53:58] Speaker E: I'm just talking about. Just for this afternoon, for the conversation. Can you unattune to it? Can you, like, are you worried that I'm like, yes. [00:54:07] Speaker D: Have you tried to unattune to it? [00:54:09] Speaker C: Yeah. Like, have you unattuned from it since you've gotten it? Just out of curiosity. That's not a. [00:54:14] Speaker B: No, no, I just, I've always had it on my waist. [00:54:22] Speaker E: I, I would love to have this conversation just trying for just a little bit. Like, I'm talking an hour. [00:54:29] Speaker C: I'm just worried that you can't unattain to it. [00:54:33] Speaker E: That's exactly what I'm trying to see is like, is there a way that I want to know if there's a limit or an issue that we're not aware of because we haven't tried setting it down or removing ourselves from it to have a conversation. Can we try to test that? [00:54:51] Speaker B: Dm, where are we right now? Like, like, are we, like, we're, we're in like the, the with the guy's house, right? [00:54:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:54:58] Speaker C: He's not there, though. [00:54:58] Speaker A: It's just a big, he's gone. And it's just a big old underground like, like, I mean, cave, but dirt hole, but nicer than that. It's a lot like Terence's house was, was. It's actually very similar. A really big underground dugout area, which is very cool and nice. [00:55:20] Speaker C: In the Wormwood, you don't have to. [00:55:23] Speaker E: Feel worried about being vulnerable because I, I, I'm literally full of weapons. Y' all have a ton of magic. We're okay. We went for a long time without the sword. I think we can go without it for like an hour just to kind of settle this. [00:55:40] Speaker B: Okay. I just, I'm, I'm a little sorry. I'm a little unnerved. I think that. And it's weird because anything that I say is going to sound like I'm holding a curse sword that doesn't want me to put it down. But I, I just, I can try to. I can put it, I can unattune for it. I just don't want like someone like, snatch it up and put it in like a house. And like all of a sudden now, like, I now have to convince you guys to like, get my weapon back. Back. Like, if I put, like, if I unattune from this, like, y' all aren't gonna, like, just, like, run off with it or something? [00:56:12] Speaker A: No. [00:56:13] Speaker E: No, we're not. [00:56:14] Speaker C: Now I feel like you don't trust. [00:56:18] Speaker B: Listen, I didn't try to cast zone of truth on my friend. [00:56:22] Speaker C: We were more so worried about. We. Last night, a guy, a little. A little thing that knows a lot about things, told us that our friend has a cursed item that could bring a ruinous end to him, and it scared us. And so I truly. I am sorry. I really, from the bottom of my heart, you could zone a truth me again. I am sorry that it kind of came out of nowhere on you as you woke up this morning. And we're doing this to you. It's just we do love and care about you. [00:56:59] Speaker B: Balls. [00:56:59] Speaker C: And where. [00:57:00] Speaker B: It's been a tough week, and I just. [00:57:03] Speaker C: No, we know. And that's why we don't want. We don't want, like. I mean, a ruinous end is like. And this guy doesn't talk in metaphors. Like, that's so. So I. I do apologize. We didn't mean to, like, throw this on top of you after what we've all been through this week, I just. [00:57:25] Speaker E: I think. [00:57:26] Speaker C: I think we're just concerned is all. After everything that's been going on. We don't want one other thing to. We don't want to have to worry about this thing while we're worrying about other things because we don't want you to come to a ruinous end. If that makes sense. Like, anything that's like, if you stop using me, it's gonna end badly. I mean, that seems usually not a good sign. [00:57:56] Speaker B: Okay, I'll. I'll unattune from it. Put this to rest. [00:58:02] Speaker C: We're not going to. We're not going to run off with it. [00:58:05] Speaker E: I'm afraid to touch it, to be honest. [00:58:06] Speaker C: Yeah, I don't want to touch it either. So it's just going to lay there. All right. I just want to see if you can unattune from it, you know? [00:58:15] Speaker A: Okay, boss. Attunement is focus in connection with the magical item. [00:58:22] Speaker E: Right. [00:58:22] Speaker A: So to unattune is not like a. It's. It is both not an elaborate process and also not like flicking a switch. Right. It's like thinking about an item that is magical, that has its own energy to it, and then separating yourself from it. And in this moment, as. As you hear this weighted argument from either side of your companions as you try to do disconnect from the blade inwardly and internally. This is all your internal experience. I need you to make a charisma saving throw for me. It's a very helpful thing. [00:59:06] Speaker C: A D4. [00:59:10] Speaker B: All right. That is an UN. [00:59:13] Speaker A: Something very important. Okay, Hoff. All things must stop. As Hoffa wants me to tell you that we have a. She got permission from her job to go on a trip to Brazil next summer. So she gets to go to Brazil. There's a lot of cheering. Everyone's very excited. Hafa also said, yes, excited. Hoffa said, you're invited, but you have to take yourselves $3,000. All right, what were you saying, Landon? [00:59:47] Speaker B: You said wisdom saving throw. [00:59:50] Speaker A: That was what. That was what was in your document. Okay. Also, were you asking about the per diem? I didn't want to ignore that. [01:00:01] Speaker B: No, I did. [01:00:01] Speaker A: I did. [01:00:02] Speaker B: I rolled it. [01:00:03] Speaker A: Okay. And then also, of course, Jackie and Abby, you both have your pre DMS and all that. Okay, boss, as you, as you. And again, how this is all internal and how you feel about this, how you interpret it, that, that's up to you. Right, boss? But as you try to disconnect yourself from the sword to sever that magic, magical connection, you do not feel the ability to do so. [01:00:29] Speaker B: What's actually funny is that it didn't matter if it was wisdom or charisma, because the bonus is the same. Same for either of them for me. [01:00:36] Speaker A: So then I'm glad we could do that for 10 minutes. [01:00:39] Speaker B: I'm so glad we discussed which year of the document we had, because it's the same plus one no matter what. My goodness, the people needed that information in wisdom saves. Doesn't it go off of? [01:00:52] Speaker A: Yeah, that's impossible. I think at the, at the minimum, you have a plus. [01:00:57] Speaker B: Isn't it like the ability score? [01:01:00] Speaker A: I think you have a plus 11 in wisdom. [01:01:02] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:01:03] Speaker B: Yeah. So, like, it wouldn't be plus one. [01:01:07] Speaker A: Yeah, it'd be plus 11, I think. [01:01:09] Speaker B: Okay, one second. Let me. I rolled a 10 and I got a four. My per diem. And then I had a plus one that I thought from wisdom. [01:01:15] Speaker A: Sure. Do you. [01:01:16] Speaker B: I'm. [01:01:17] Speaker A: Now I'm. Now I'm. I don't know how we've derailed this far, but now I'm concerned why we don't know where your shaving throws are. Do you have your character sheet? [01:01:23] Speaker B: No, I do. I, I, I don't know why I had plus one for wisdom saving throws. [01:01:30] Speaker A: Well, it's probably that at some point you were changing it and it needed to be plus 11. And an extra one got, like, deleted. [01:01:38] Speaker B: Well, okay, so that changes things. 25, 26, 25. [01:01:46] Speaker A: Okay, sorry. [01:01:47] Speaker B: That does change things. I was like, this is. [01:01:50] Speaker A: This is episode 158, mild interruptions. Now, I need everybody else take a second while I go into my DM notes and figure out what happens when you unattune to the curse sword. So everybody give me a second. Anybody. Anybody want to role play or engage with the moment or express a curious moment for a moment? [01:02:11] Speaker E: I started my new job this week. [01:02:15] Speaker C: Nice noise. [01:02:20] Speaker B: I was at. [01:02:21] Speaker E: I. I worked for. I worked for 10 hours. [01:02:27] Speaker C: In one day. [01:02:29] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:02:32] Speaker C: Did you like it, though? [01:02:34] Speaker E: No. [01:02:35] Speaker C: Did you say no? [01:02:36] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:02:37] Speaker C: No. [01:02:39] Speaker B: You didn't like it? [01:02:41] Speaker E: No. [01:02:41] Speaker B: What banks are open for 10 hours? [01:02:44] Speaker E: Well, you work nine hours. You have nine hours there, and then an hour is a. Is a break. But I spent that break going to the courthouse to get my marriage license and stressing out. And then we. It works an extra 30 minutes because for some reason we do that on Friday. And then you have to close up everything. And so you're spending 25 to 30 minutes closing things. And I did the mathy math, and I actually, because my commute's 30 minutes and back, it took 11 hours of just being out of the house doing work stuff on Friday. [01:03:27] Speaker B: But you didn't like the job, the new job. You don't like it? [01:03:30] Speaker E: Not right now. Not right now. [01:03:33] Speaker B: Why? [01:03:35] Speaker E: This is so, so, so much classwork. [01:03:39] Speaker A: Class. [01:03:39] Speaker E: Like, I'm talking 80 hours of classwork that I've got to do before, like, the 13th of November. [01:03:49] Speaker B: Wow. [01:03:50] Speaker A: Sorry. Cutting back in. Okay, so first of all, Landon, I have solved the mystery of the documents. Hey, if you scroll. If you scroll like, like, like a year and a half back in your channel, that's the original Phantom document. And the one you're utilizing is the original one. We've had like three more iterations since then. Now why don't remember anymore? I mean, I don't just make a change document and then give it. Give it to you guys. It's like, that's different now, you know? Like, I only do that when we talk about things. So I no longer remember when or why we were making changes to Phantom. But we have changed the item three times since, and the last iteration has been in your channel for like 10 months. So it's in boss's channel now. That being said, I don't care. Dude, it's your magic sword. If you're like, I want to keep the OG one, then that's yours. [01:04:39] Speaker B: I don't if you want the newer. [01:04:40] Speaker A: One, it's in the channel. That's up to you. Well, it's up to you if you want the newer one. If you like, look in your channel. It's the most recent phantom for 20. 25. That doesn't matter. That has been solved now. I. I found what I needed on my end. [01:04:57] Speaker B: So. [01:05:00] Speaker A: 46. Okay. What's yalls proficiency bonus at this point? [01:05:07] Speaker C: Plus 5. [01:05:09] Speaker B: Plus 5. That's right. [01:05:10] Speaker A: 5. [01:05:13] Speaker E: We should have all said 6. [01:05:15] Speaker A: Okay, go back to talking again. [01:05:23] Speaker E: And I have my marriage license, so it's okay. Everything's fine. I get married. [01:05:26] Speaker D: It is so exciting. [01:05:27] Speaker E: In nine days. [01:05:31] Speaker C: Nine days? [01:05:33] Speaker E: It's next week. Yeah. [01:05:36] Speaker C: It's less than nine days. Oh, it's eight days. [01:05:41] Speaker D: Are you so stressed, Jackie? [01:05:45] Speaker E: Thursday, 4pm we still good? [01:05:48] Speaker C: Yes. Yes. [01:05:50] Speaker E: Okay. [01:05:50] Speaker C: I was gonna ask you later what I need to wear to that. [01:05:54] Speaker E: It's just rehearsal. [01:05:56] Speaker C: Okay. So it's not like we don't need to look, like, nice. Like, I mean, like, obviously, like, not. [01:06:01] Speaker B: Am I about to take a bunch of cold damage? [01:06:07] Speaker D: He's got his dice, to be clear. [01:06:10] Speaker A: Yes. But also, you don't know. I mean, yes, for sure, but you don't know. [01:06:15] Speaker B: I. I am. Okay. Yeah, let's. Let's see. Let's go. [01:06:20] Speaker C: Get a blanket ready, y'. [01:06:22] Speaker A: All. [01:06:25] Speaker B: Oh, man. [01:06:28] Speaker D: Oh, while this is happening, I asked. I asked Boz. I say while we're just, you know, thinking and while there's just some lull in our activity unexplained, we're watching him. Do you have use the blade friend? Like, is there something specific you have to use? [01:06:50] Speaker B: Oz is like, holy crap. This is, like, thinking really hard. Like, he's, like, not talking. He's, like, trying to attitude from this devil sword. [01:07:00] Speaker A: It's gonna be really funny in a second when Greta's like, do you have to use this for something? And then he goes, okay, now keep talking as players. While Zach does a lot of addition. [01:07:12] Speaker D: So we can talk his players. [01:07:14] Speaker A: Yeah, just. [01:07:16] Speaker C: I'm almost done, guys. [01:07:18] Speaker D: Which one of these little guys be the curious? [01:07:21] Speaker C: The red one for sure. I feel. [01:07:23] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:07:26] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:07:27] Speaker C: Because I pictured just ahead. [01:07:29] Speaker D: I think my friend Francis. [01:07:32] Speaker C: What? [01:07:32] Speaker D: Maybe Jake. Either my brother or my friend. Okay, Jake, my brother did. And it's a 3D printed red stonks head. And I. [01:07:44] Speaker C: Nice. We should show the Patreon that and say, this is the curious speaker. I'm worried that we did this and we just killed our druid. Anyone else concerned about that now? Because I'm a Little bit concerned. [01:08:06] Speaker E: I think the curious speaker is a white little guy. [01:08:09] Speaker C: A white little guy. [01:08:12] Speaker E: The one. [01:08:12] Speaker C: The other one shoots white little guy. [01:08:18] Speaker E: That one. [01:08:19] Speaker C: Is he green? [01:08:20] Speaker E: He's green, yeah. [01:08:22] Speaker C: Yeah, but he's a bard. He's playing a flute. [01:08:25] Speaker E: No, I think that's him, though. I feel like he looks like he's sitting on your shoulder, and he's like tons of truth. [01:08:34] Speaker B: Whoa. [01:08:34] Speaker C: That was a lot of dice. That was just rolled. It felt like. [01:08:41] Speaker E: I think we're okay. [01:08:43] Speaker C: We might be. [01:08:44] Speaker B: You guys are okay. I'm worried about y'. [01:08:46] Speaker A: All. [01:08:46] Speaker B: I'm not worried about me. I'm worried about you guys, to be honest. [01:08:49] Speaker A: Why? [01:08:53] Speaker E: We didn't have a sword. [01:08:55] Speaker B: Can they. Zach, do they have any should if. If something bad is about to happen to them, do they have any ability to, like, do something before it happens? Like, if they see me slowly starting to. No. Okay. [01:09:07] Speaker A: That's not how savings cars go. [01:09:10] Speaker B: All right. [01:09:10] Speaker E: Savings. [01:09:12] Speaker D: Well, we haven't rolled here. [01:09:13] Speaker A: I. I'll make fun of nothing I said wrong. [01:09:19] Speaker E: Magic circle. What? [01:09:22] Speaker B: It's something I probably should have done before I tried to unattune to. It is. I guess I'm just. [01:09:30] Speaker A: Okay. Holy cow. That took a long time. Okay. Sorry, guys. Should. Should I as DM be ready for that possibility in any session? Very possibly. Hadn't thought about it in about a year. Buried those notes. Buries those notes really deep. And I had to go digging and then do a ton of math. Holy cow. All right. [01:09:54] Speaker E: You were, like, so bad. We were like, okay, bet. You know? [01:09:59] Speaker A: Well, I mean, I wasn't prepared for that session last. But honestly, after last session, I should have come to this session. Ready for that? That's on me. Okay, so we're back. Thank you for the patience. So, boss, you go. All right. I will quit thinking about the sword. And you just sit there for a second and you think about it, and you feel that connection, like. Like sever, right? Actually, it feels like. It feels like a mist coming off of you is what it feels like. It feels like a. Like it leaving you. And you all watch as Boz holding the sword, focuses on it. And he, like, takes a hard. Like, one hard blink, and a little bit of mist just, like, comes off of the blade. And then. Boz, you. You guys fought a white dragon at any point. No. You feel the coldest feeling you've ever felt in your life. And that's saying something. You felt some magical cold when you felt. You fought mephitz. You've had. You've had ice cast over You. You like you. [01:10:54] Speaker C: It. [01:10:55] Speaker A: It feels for a moment like you must be dying from the sensation of the cold. And at that same moment as Boz, like, takes a sudden lurch, this. This wave. It's not dramatic. Like a breeze comes off of him and fills the space. And I need all of you guys to make constitution saving throws. [01:11:20] Speaker B: Me. [01:11:21] Speaker A: Me. [01:11:21] Speaker B: I need to make one. [01:11:22] Speaker A: No, no, no, no, no. It's internal for you. It's external for them. [01:11:28] Speaker C: Can we add our per diems to this or no? [01:11:30] Speaker A: Sure. Yeah. [01:11:31] Speaker B: It's your per diem reaction. I do something. Zachary. [01:11:36] Speaker A: Okay, sick. [01:11:42] Speaker B: And I cannot believe. [01:11:44] Speaker A: Hoffa plot twist. What? That's crazy. Anyway, Hoffa just sent me this thing about love is blind. What were you saying. [01:11:55] Speaker B: On reaction? I cast. Absorb elements on myself. [01:11:59] Speaker A: Oh, sick. Okay, dope. [01:12:02] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:12:02] Speaker A: Do whatever you need to do with that. Yeah, yeah. [01:12:05] Speaker B: So I have resistance, so the damage is halved for me. [01:12:07] Speaker A: Okay, excellent, excellent. [01:12:10] Speaker D: I got a. [01:12:13] Speaker B: And my next melee attack does 1d6 extra cold damage. [01:12:16] Speaker A: Okay, cool. Boss turns around and just smacks somebody. What did you. I'm sorry, Greta, what did you get? [01:12:24] Speaker D: I got a 14. [01:12:27] Speaker A: Okay. Craig, what'd you get? [01:12:33] Speaker E: Okay, I don't like it. I don't like this online dice at all. It rolled the same thing, and I've used. [01:12:41] Speaker D: I used my. [01:12:42] Speaker E: My side of the boot. Boon sided one. Inspiration. And I've got the same rule all three times. [01:12:50] Speaker D: Oh, and I don't know. [01:12:54] Speaker A: I mean, well, first of all. First of all, trends are common in random statistics, but second of all, I just Google roll D20 and I use Google's one, but you do you boo. What'd you get? [01:13:05] Speaker E: I got a 12. [01:13:08] Speaker C: Okay. [01:13:08] Speaker D: Did you add your constitution modifier? [01:13:11] Speaker E: That's with it. [01:13:15] Speaker C: Big. [01:13:15] Speaker B: Oof. [01:13:17] Speaker A: What did Ro and Tello get? [01:13:20] Speaker C: I got a 10 I forgot to roll for Tello. [01:13:23] Speaker A: Happens to the best of us. Okay, so we're. [01:13:27] Speaker C: Oh, the Google one's cute. [01:13:30] Speaker E: Not when you feel this is the. [01:13:31] Speaker B: Main dice that I use. [01:13:33] Speaker C: What is that the one you use? [01:13:35] Speaker B: Dice that I use? Yeah. [01:13:37] Speaker D: Hello. Got a seven. [01:13:38] Speaker B: I don't have physical dice. [01:13:39] Speaker A: Okay. [01:13:40] Speaker B: Dang, guys. Y fun. [01:13:45] Speaker C: Like, where's the pizzazz? [01:13:47] Speaker A: Okay, so as the. As the frost blows across you all, it. It's just like. It's just like a breeze. Just like a. But in that moment, all of you feel the coldest sensations of your life. It racks you to your core. You. You double over with paralyzing pain from the cold. The warm mammalian part of you fights this moment in just an instant. Boz as it's internal, you just take the damage. But as you cast absorb elements, you, you, you utilize first flame and like golden flame, like re up wreaths up you and absorbs some of the heat. So you take half damage. You only take 48. You take 48 cold damage. No one else succeeded any con saved. So Craig, Greta, Ro, and Tello all instantly take 96 cold damage. [01:14:42] Speaker D: Okay, well, Tell and I are both just down like immediately. [01:14:48] Speaker E: God. [01:14:50] Speaker A: And so as this cold breeze just across everything, Greta and Tello just. And Greta just falls over unconscious. And like her, she curls up into a ball. Her mammalian body fighting the cold. Also, Tello has yet to wake up. So he was just asleep and all of a sudden and is now laying there breathing raggedly. Okay, that's happened. What's happening now? [01:15:19] Speaker C: I immediately rush to use my first. [01:15:25] Speaker B: Flame ability to sacrifice a spell slot and just, just heal them. Like the fire that like enveloped me from the cold, like, just spreads out to everybody. And I sacrifice a fifth level spell slot. [01:15:35] Speaker A: That's aoe or to a direct creature. [01:15:38] Speaker B: It's up to X amount of creatures that I can see. Okay, so it's so. Okay, it's enough a fifth of those. [01:15:45] Speaker A: So go ahead and roll a number for that. And then Greta and Tello, you are back up. But how many hit points just almost died again? Landon's figure that out right now. [01:15:55] Speaker C: I, I immediately ran to Greta cuz I probably didn't even like, I saw Greta fall. So I go to Greta and I'm like, oh, crap, we should keep a. [01:16:05] Speaker A: We should keep a counter. You know how like, like businesses have like a, like X number of days since an accident. You should have a little counter that's like X number of sessions since Greta went unconscious. It's crazy. [01:16:20] Speaker D: That is very old. [01:16:22] Speaker A: That's true. [01:16:23] Speaker B: You guys get 35 hit points back. Everybody gets 35. Everyone gets 35 hit points back. [01:16:30] Speaker A: It's a really strong feature. Yes, Micah. What? What's funny? [01:16:39] Speaker E: Damage I rolled was 32. And so. [01:16:43] Speaker A: Damage. [01:16:44] Speaker C: Damage from what? [01:16:46] Speaker A: Oh, how do you want to do this? How do you kill, boss? [01:16:55] Speaker E: I mean like the, like the way it took away from my hit points, it was 32, so. [01:17:01] Speaker A: Okay, why were you rolling? [01:17:04] Speaker B: Zach rolled the damage. [01:17:06] Speaker E: Wait, what was the damage? You said, you said 96, Micah. [01:17:10] Speaker A: Not 96. 96. Not 96. 96. Not nine, six sided die. 96 damage. [01:17:30] Speaker C: That's funny. [01:17:31] Speaker A: Next moment, Micah's gonna leave the discord call when she goes back to the discord URL and types in 9 9. Like the letter. The number 9, the letter T and the number 6 types it in and goes, google what do do? Amazing. [01:17:53] Speaker E: That's. [01:17:54] Speaker D: It sounds 96. 90. [01:17:57] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [01:17:57] Speaker A: In. In. In Micah's defense. [01:18:01] Speaker E: Okay, that's so funny. [01:18:03] Speaker D: Falls down. [01:18:09] Speaker C: I go to Greta's side. [01:18:12] Speaker A: Micah was over there, like, wow. Greta's weak. [01:18:18] Speaker C: And I look up it. I look up at Boz and I go, seems a little cursed. [01:18:27] Speaker B: Yeah, of course it was cursed. It came from a hag cave. It does. It's got some baggage, obviously, so why. [01:18:36] Speaker C: I can't fight this. Are you okay? She's like, patting Greta. She's like, trying to wrap, like, a cloak around her to warm her up. [01:18:48] Speaker A: All of you have never felt so cold. Tello springs up off the. The ground, picks up his, like, the leather curry. The chest plate of his leather armor, and he doesn't know who he throws it so hard at. The nearest one of you, just one of you just gets pelted by the armor and he goes, get like a one single night, you psychopaths. And he, like, gets up and like, wraps his clothes angrily around him and just walks out of the room. [01:19:16] Speaker D: I say, good thing we're in the warm wood, I guess. [01:19:19] Speaker A: He turns back and he says, back to you. In unseen but his head around the corner. He goes, good thing, wearing that wormwood. But it's like. And then he walks out and up the path and he just leaves. [01:19:35] Speaker D: I say. I look at Boss and I say, so did it work? Are you. [01:19:40] Speaker B: Yeah, I. Yeah, it's just a. Yeah. I'm not attuned to it anymore. [01:19:44] Speaker A: You feel the. [01:19:46] Speaker B: Obviously there were parts of it that I like, that were, like, hidden from. From even me. [01:19:50] Speaker E: So, yeah. [01:19:54] Speaker B: Maybe the thing was right. Maybe it would, like, consume me slowly. Who knows? [01:19:59] Speaker C: So are you gonna re. Attune to it? [01:20:03] Speaker B: I don't know, Ro. I was thinking about it. [01:20:07] Speaker A: You guys look over at Boss. Yeah. So anyway. [01:20:16] Speaker C: I mean, I just. I mean, we can. I'll teleport you to any town you want to go buy a sword. You gotta. [01:20:25] Speaker B: Yeah, I gotta get a new weapon Now. Now we gotta get a new character art done. [01:20:29] Speaker D: I will say, go to Connor J. And sell this sword. [01:20:35] Speaker C: I will say, how often do you. Rogue looks at him and she goes. I mean, I see you cast, like, a lot like, you're. You could. I mean, you could have my rapier if you want. Like, but, like, you. Your damage is, like, really high with your. With your magic. [01:20:57] Speaker B: I use. I use the sword literally every single combat encounter that We've had. Since. I've had it multiple times. [01:21:08] Speaker C: No, I just mean, like, it's been. [01:21:10] Speaker B: The killing blow on a couple of big bad boys. [01:21:15] Speaker C: Yeah, but it was gonna be your killing bro blow, bro. [01:21:19] Speaker B: Oh, I'm a big bad boy. [01:21:24] Speaker C: Zach didn't like that. [01:21:25] Speaker A: Like that one. Write that down. I'm a big bad boy. [01:21:33] Speaker D: Greta. So do you know if you had to use the. The sword on. On someone or something specific? Like, not just. Not just, you know, if you. If you kill someone, you take hold damage, but, like, on a specific entity or. [01:21:52] Speaker B: No, like, it, like, did more damage to, like, people from the fire dimension, and it, like, just did extra cold damage if I expended, like, one of its charges. But I would only take damage if the person I struck died, and then the charge would be regained once I struck somebody down. [01:22:13] Speaker D: Yeah, I. I mean. I mean, did the sword. But the sword didn't. Wasn't. Do you have. [01:22:23] Speaker B: That's all I'm aware of. Like, that's it. Like, that's all. [01:22:27] Speaker D: I'm just wondering if it, like, I don't know. [01:22:31] Speaker C: Did he, like, speak to you? [01:22:33] Speaker B: No. [01:22:34] Speaker A: Oh. [01:22:37] Speaker D: Because the things that. If you. If you fail to use it. And I'm just wondering if use meant on. On something or someone specific. [01:22:48] Speaker C: I think maybe. [01:22:49] Speaker B: I think in just in general. [01:22:50] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:22:51] Speaker C: Like, if he stops using it. [01:22:52] Speaker B: If I just didn't build up a long time to kill anybody, then it would eat me instead. That's what I'm assuming. I don't know. It didn't have anything. I didn't know anything about that. [01:23:02] Speaker C: You think we could, like, decursify it and then you could still use it? [01:23:07] Speaker B: You mean, like, take away part of the power that makes it what it is, but hopefully leave it with power? [01:23:13] Speaker C: Yeah, that's exactly what I mean. I mean, a powerful. A powerful enough caster could probably do it. I don't know if any of us could. I mean, we're pretty powerful, but not that powerful. [01:23:28] Speaker E: That is such a dis. That's such a dis to literally every other. [01:23:33] Speaker C: I'm just being realistic. [01:23:36] Speaker E: I guess. We need a powerful caster. Not you guys. Y' all suck. [01:23:41] Speaker C: Well, I'm saying not me, though. Like, I know. I know my limits. [01:23:46] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:23:47] Speaker C: I've never taken a curse off of something. [01:23:49] Speaker B: No, I told you guys, I knew that. I didn't know it was cursed, but then when I tuned to it, I knew it was cursed, but I honestly didn't think it was a big deal. Like. Like, the effects were, like, negligible. To none that I like experienced. [01:24:02] Speaker C: I don't think that was none. Now two of our party members just. [01:24:07] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:24:07] Speaker C: Fell to the ground. [01:24:10] Speaker B: You guys. [01:24:12] Speaker D: But we didn't know from the sword. [01:24:16] Speaker C: Whoa. [01:24:16] Speaker B: We don't know. It could have been. Fine. [01:24:18] Speaker C: We're victim blaming here and I don't like it. [01:24:21] Speaker E: Yeah, well, okay, here's the deal. We, we kind of poked and said. [01:24:26] Speaker D: Let'S like remove its like handler. [01:24:29] Speaker E: Let's like kind of upset this magic weapon. Of course it's gonna. [01:24:33] Speaker C: Because we found out it was an evil person. [01:24:36] Speaker B: A wise man w once said, with great power comes great responsibility. [01:24:42] Speaker E: Is this great power or is a. Is this great power? [01:24:46] Speaker B: It's a lightsaber that does cold damage. Yes, it's a great power. [01:24:52] Speaker E: Hear me out. Is this the kind of great power that we want to hold or is it going to great power against us? [01:25:02] Speaker D: I mean, it just did. [01:25:04] Speaker E: It just did. Why is it, I don't think for the party or. No. [01:25:09] Speaker B: What are we trying to figure out right now? I'm confused. [01:25:12] Speaker D: Yeah, I, I don't know. [01:25:13] Speaker E: Are you gonna. Yeah. [01:25:14] Speaker B: I don't understand what the purpose of this is. Like, what are you. Are you asking if we're still gonna use it? [01:25:20] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:25:20] Speaker D: Are you still. [01:25:21] Speaker B: No, of course not. That would be the dumbest decision I could ever make. [01:25:24] Speaker D: No, I mean, like, in general, if. [01:25:25] Speaker E: You continue to use this, is this the curse going to continually drag you into a pit of the curse? You know what I mean? [01:25:31] Speaker C: Yeah, but he's not gonna. [01:25:33] Speaker B: I probably so I'm not gonna use. [01:25:35] Speaker E: It anymore, I think. [01:25:36] Speaker C: Okay, listen, you're not. I think. [01:25:38] Speaker B: No. Yeah, I'm definitely not gonna use anymore. [01:25:40] Speaker C: Yeah, I think you don't attune to it. And we check it out with like connoisse or a laundry or something and see if they can get the curse removed. But you can still use it because it's obviously a good weapon and you like it. [01:25:56] Speaker B: And I think, I honestly don't care. Like we can sell it. Like, I just need something. I just need something else. Like it doesn't matter to me if it is like, like I, I, I do not care. Like we can sell it like for more platinum pieces. Like it's fine. Like, I don't want to mess around with a dangerous curse that can instantly down 2 of a party. Yeah, it's like, why did we, why did we travel around the ocean with a box that was obviously a 9th level sigil spell that when open would just destroy everything around us. We did that for months, guys. Why did we choose to do that? Probably because we didn't know the extent of it until we did. And then once we knew is when we changed course on it. Right. [01:26:41] Speaker C: There's a recurring theme here, and I can't put my finger on it. [01:26:47] Speaker E: We like cursed items. [01:26:50] Speaker C: Cursed items. [01:26:55] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:26:55] Speaker C: I mean, I'm just glad that you're not coming to a ruinous end. Sorry that we went about it. Not socially correct. [01:27:09] Speaker B: I don't think. Socially correct. I. I think it's just as like. As a friend, I thought better of you. [01:27:19] Speaker D: I won't cast a spell without asking you again, but, I mean, did not. [01:27:24] Speaker B: Even try to, like, connect with me or ask. I mean, I guess maybe you were worried it would, like, send me into an angry rage, but, like, even the hang that you got from the little mouth, I wouldn't have gotten anything of that sort. [01:27:36] Speaker E: It's that one again. [01:27:39] Speaker B: I thought it was different. [01:27:40] Speaker C: We didn't know. [01:27:42] Speaker D: Yeah, that was wrong with me, Boz, And I am sorry, but I. I want to be in a process, people who will be in a zone. And I understand if that's not today, but that's some. [01:27:55] Speaker B: I mean, I. Maybe if you, like, came to me about it, it'd be fine, but I think just like springing it on somebody without talking about it, it's like. [01:28:07] Speaker A: Hello, this is post editing Zach here. I'm only hopping in because we actually lost audio going here forward for the rest of the episode. To sum things up, the party continued to work out the conversation and we apologize for having lost this audio. It was some very good roleplay. But the. The party continued to talk out the conflict and debate that they were having before deciding to table the discussion for a later time. And we soon went to break after that. And everything after is as it plays out in the next episode where the party went to. They moved on with their day and then eventually gathered together to head back to Parsage and speaking to Spaghuber and all that stuff. So very sorry about having lost part of the audio, but the rest of the audio for the episode is not available. So, oops, sorry about that, but this is just a little post recording Zach the editor update so that it makes sense why the episode suddenly cuts off. But life is still an incredible adventure and you're still a very important part of it. So stay tuned and we will bring you the next episode, which we have all of the audio for Skibidi, Wap and Dada.
