Episode Transcript

Will (00:00):
another realm is a narrative driven tabletop role

(00:02):
playing game podcast. For thisseason, we're using the Dungeons

Sometimes the language on thispodcast can get a little spicy.
But if that doesn't bother you,my name is Wil. And I play six.

Bruce (00:20):
Hi Bruce, and I'm the voice of Archie.

Fraser (00:22):
I'm Fraser and I play Mark bark smooth.

Tanner (00:25):
And I'm your game master tenor. And this is what happened
on the last episode of Notherrealm, the Neverthere there the
voice needed the purpose andthis is the one that I've given
them.

Unknown (00:38):
What I'm trying to say is if you want to cry I'll give
you something to cry about and Ielders blasting

Will (00:44):
six gets his mace out, pulls it over his head just
gonna throw his bass at the atone of the two guys and then
tackle the stone

Tanner (00:54):
and inky blackness begins to pour out and ride
around it and wrap around yourbody

Bruce (01:04):
alright Mark bar get ready to run and I'm going to
try to grab I'm just gonna tryto grab six and just yank him
out of this inky blackness Yeah,

Fraser (01:12):
I reached out and grabbed a stone and just well I
tossed him the bag of holding

Tanner (01:16):
where you guys had back to Leylen Leylen booking it but
so what have you got

Fraser (01:22):

Bruce (01:26):
holding mock put it back in the bag

Fraser (01:28):
Oh shadow shadow shit and I put it back in the bag

Will (01:30):
quickly sick fesses out

Tanner (01:32):
before you pass out you notice you feel hunger again
which is really weird for youI'm so

(02:22):
Alright, so let's gonna do likea really cool introductory scene
where we just continue from lasttime but also hey you guys
leveled up so let's leave somesuspense hanging in the air. You
gained two levels so we wentfrom three to five

Will (02:35):
that's because yo s forgotten to make us go to four
at some point no

Tanner (02:39):
well it's because I've wanted there to be more suspense
because you went through so muchyou really earned it like this
was like a double milestonemilestone so it was completely
planned and not because I forgotto put you at level four. Yeah,
yeah,

Will (02:52):
for sure. For sure. For sure. Good job. Yeah,

Tanner (02:54):
thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. I just need you Iwhat I really need you to do is
believe me more often? Becauseif you don't I'll give you a
disadvantage.

Will (03:05):
It'll give you is that the DEM disadvantage is all

Fraser (03:10):
died during this die betas.

Will (03:12):
Yeah, six six now has live betas. Live betas got it. Hey,
okay, so here's. I'm guessingyou want us to describe what
happens when we turn level five?

Tanner (03:24):
That'd be the Yeah, just give me some give me some cool.

Will (03:26):
All right, cool. I changed the cantrips I now have a farmer
Terje and mending on top ofspare the dying I got rid of all
the dead it's sucked so much.
And I kept guidance and I haveaccess to third level spells

Bruce (03:43):
not suck you just keep missing

Will (03:46):
that I've I've used that spill five times hit one time I
as I'm editing through I'mmaking mental notes of how many
times I've used that stupid assbut what works and what doesn't
so he doesn't so so I got that.
I took dermatology meaning it'sgoing to be super good. I have
plans for those. It's very nice.
And I have a sister love as wellas fun fact. As a cleric. I

(04:11):
don't naturally get access tothe spell fireball, but I have
fireball.

Bruce (04:16):
Know you don't know

Will (04:20):
why. Hold on, hold on.
Okay,

Tanner (04:22):
I give me give me give me give me a good reason why you
would have Arbol

Bruce (04:27):
because he's metal make and make smart smart sport. Bam,

Will (04:30):
Boo Boo. Hey, I'll give you

Tanner (04:31):
I'll give you access to the cantrip.

Will (04:33):
Far, far.

Bruce (04:35):
Far more, but you have to say it like that.

Tanner (04:38):
I can't. At least 90% Makes

Will (04:41):
my nose run. Just kidding.
This tape makes you it's Taramaking fun of you. That's not to
say it knows.

Bruce (04:54):
Yeah, you got to know just just talk about the smile
and it doesn't automatically

Tanner (04:57):
if I talk with a smile.
It makes me smile. God Thatsounds

Will (05:00):
terrible. Grandpa the outfit, okay. I also took a feat
for my level four. I took Googleyou know, just to Well, I get
stupid Alright. Thanks I onlyhave one for you don't know why
I said to all right that I havetaken skill expert because I

(05:24):
okay here's the here's thelogical reason why ticket okay?
I wanted to show his growth inin his conversational skills
with both the mask upgrading andthe stuff so I took both
proficiency and expertise inpersuasion. So now I have a plus
five persuasion with theadvantage of when I help when

(05:46):
I'm trying to save people'slives.

Tanner (05:48):
Jesus Christ I fucked up

Bruce (05:53):
he's doing stuff that like you, you know, you're like
hey, I'll give you this coolthing. And he was like, I'm
gonna embrace it instead of justnever fucking use it

Will (06:01):
ya know? And also put an extra point in wisdom I'm almost
at plus for wisdom

Tanner (06:06):
Awesome. That's a lot of fun stuff well, Bruce would you
get

Bruce (06:12):
I just became a lot better at the whacking

Tanner (06:14):
Oh yeah. Barbarian hit

Will (06:16):
more hits twice now you get two attacks in the turn. Oh,
and

Bruce (06:21):
I also and I also and I also got a another or I got a
skill point ability pointaddition to my strengths and my
strength is now plus fourinstead of plus three and the
best part is the best part thisis amazing I'm so glad I got
this at this level because itflux everybody's retreat
everything away up and that'sthat I when I'm unarmored can

(06:44):
now move 40 feet per turninstead of 30 Nope.

Tanner (06:48):
Oh very nice. Oh yeah.

Bruce (06:49):
Which means that technically anything that can
only move 30 feet can neverescape

Will (06:54):
in your in your jump like half your movement too so you
can jump 20 feet is thatcorrect?

Tanner (07:01):
Ah it forward but

Will (07:03):
what's the up

Bruce (07:05):
I think you can jump up like left to look up jump

Tanner (07:09):
jumping up is a bit of a I think there's a lot more like
limitations on that you cannotjump 20 feet in vertically

Bruce (07:18):
after moving at least 10 feet on farther up and you can
jump your strength score in feetstraight forward or three plus
your strength modifier in feetup so I can jump seven feet up
that's that's pretty impressivenow that is running

Tanner (07:30):
seven vertical dunk

Will (07:31):
yourself like

Bruce (07:33):
yeah i could i No no no that's not a vertical because
I'm moving vertical a verticalwould be three plus or I'm sorry
a half jumped distances have soI guess technically I could jump
like four feet. Okay, yeahMorphe straight up is still
pretty high. That's still apretty pretty heavy vertical

(07:53):
Yeah, for a 200 pound person.
Yep. I Fraser

Tanner (07:57):
What did you get for upgrading to level five? Oh
wait, we forgot scrolled on yourcharisma and make that

Unknown (08:03):
go Shit. Shit. Bonk

Tanner (08:07):
you can see so much more damage

Fraser (08:09):
well for my level five I got more charisma which makes me
a big strong scary damage atdealin boy but also get packed
with a blade which means that Ican pretty much do whatever kind
of weapon I want. And it's my myspecial special weapon that does

(08:31):
more damage eg thirsting bladealso lets me attack twice which
is super dope. So I can justwham and then bam. And then
thank you ma'am.

Tanner (08:43):
Yep, and remember your sword. So long sword variant
allows you to do versatile whichmeans you can hold it in two
hands and do one D 10 damageinstead of just one D eight so
you can quack twice with it.
That extra demolish is verygood. All right. So now we move
on into the story. The scenestands the three of you are

(09:04):
standing in outward enterpriseswith Bates Sae'Shiir After your
conversation explaining to himwhat had happened in Arcus. Your
boy Mark bark decided to pullout the stone and it is
currently tendrils of the sameblack kinkiness or reaching out

(09:24):
from six his face as he fallsbackwards. Saying something
about I'm hungry. Um, but youhear the crash as six falls
against the floor. tendrilsstill reaching from his face
underneath his mask as thetendrils reach out from the
stone that you are holding Markbark. What do you do? All of all
of you but six six, you decidedthat you passed out sorry but

Fraser (09:50):
so you can at the end of the last episode I was more or
less like oh shit and put it putit back in the bag quickly.

Tanner (09:57):
Okay, so you stuffed it back into the Bag of Holding
which was is as good idea as nowas it was the first time and
yeah the the tendrils of courseyou see this stone disappear
into the bag the tendrils thatare coming out from underneath
sixes mask are still now they'resort of reaching aimlessly and

(10:19):
slowly pulling back into hisfaith

Bruce (10:23):
six What's up with your face? You know you should
probably see a doctor about thatone six says

Tanner (10:32):
oh it's good it's good in it a podcast you do a face
you did a face Facebook stuff

Bruce (10:39):
I can't I get away with that all the time and yet the
one time well does it he justfucking call me call.

Tanner (10:47):
Base looks stunned at this point. He looks between the
two of you that are standingMark bark and Archie and then
looks down at six and says Idon't know if smelling salts
will work on him. i What is whatthe fuck guys? i Sorry. No, I

(11:08):
don't know YOU WHAT THE FUCKArchie.

Bruce (11:12):
Tried to tell you about you and listen. You told me I
was crazy.

Tanner (11:16):
Okay, okay. Okay. First things first. We need to wake
him up. This seems to be aproblem.

Bruce (11:24):
I poke six in the side of his head with my toe my boo.

Tanner (11:29):
Six from some space in your remaining consciousness.
You hear? But it sounds like adrop of gentle. Sounds like a
drop of water.

Will (11:41):
And what am I experiencing? Am I actually just
like

Tanner (11:45):
you just unconscious? I didn't prepare anything for
whatever your current state ofElectric Sheep of electric.
Thank you.

Will (11:54):
Yeah, there you go. Makes good. Good. I actually wasn't
even thinking about when I saidit. But you did good. You're
doing good thing. Thanks. Um, Iguess I attempt to wake up do
does that serves me it serves meyeah, that serves me.

Tanner (12:08):
I didn't like it impose the unconsciousness? I'm not
gonna make you.

Will (12:12):
Have you guys notice how I get in sixth voice? I do it
every time. Ah. I gotta get herface off. Oh.

Tanner (12:20):
I mean, we cut all the versions of me getting into
voices.

Bruce (12:24):
Now I'm gonna Yeah, the time will does that. I'm going
to be like queue for will to getinto his six four.

Will (12:32):
Mmm hmm.

Bruce (12:35):
Queue for will to get into. Well,

Will (12:40):
hopefully you believe us now. Looking at Baeth Okay, I am
even if you don't believeeverything we're saying. It's
pretty, pretty obvious somethingfunky is going on.

Tanner (12:54):
Certainly something funky is going on. I can 100%
believe that. Right? Like, youhave shown me this stone that is
now connected somehow to yourface. You know, I was saying
before, it's all in your head.
But now it kind of seems likeit's all in your head.

Will (13:12):
So it's a funny one. I like that joke.

Tanner (13:15):
Sometimes you have to

Bruce (13:16):
not as the problem is that it's trying to get his head
in his head. It's fine.

Will (13:21):
has six ever left. Ah. Oh, that's gonna be a new fun thing
I get to do.

Tanner (13:30):
Six discovers laughter and achievement pops up.

Will (13:34):
Well, Mark Bart, I think that thing needs to stay in the
bag. Obviously I have aconnection to it. I don't know
what it's about. I'd like totalk to

Bruce (13:45):
someone.

Tanner (13:48):
I mean, I don't know any particular you know, physicians
that deal with darknessemanating from stone and noggin.
You know, we might. I don't knowthose kinds of people in
specialists. You could find thatCastor Haven or the capital
city. There's a lot of people ittalked to it just depends on
what you want to do

Will (14:07):
B or B or belcam. Have you heard that name?

Tanner (14:12):
P What now?

Will (14:13):
P bail. Calm

Bruce (14:15):
goes on tight.

Tanner (14:15):
Yes. Okay. Thank you.

Will (14:17):
They'll come in. Watch me.
I'm trying not to say the wordcome.

Tanner (14:27):
Wait, wait, here's a question. I just want to pay
Tarbell called I want to knowbecause of just morbid
curiosity, not morbid. I don'twant to say sexual curiosity
either just out of purecuriosity, the amount that you
know, you don't want to saycome.

Will (14:43):
Why? Truthfully, I don't know what the word come means.
We should talk about come forthe next few minutes of this.
Sure. Come come come coke.

Tanner (14:56):
Actually that is the name of the book that hang on
one second and he goes off to ashelf titled Kham Kham Kham Kham
Kham.

Bruce (15:10):
RT takes that crossbow six ever found and he just
points it under his chin pull.
Alright, boys brains all overface fucking Okay,

Will (15:21):
joke's on you. I don't have braids, owl, green. Orange

Bruce (15:25):
does your best friend anymore either.

Tanner (15:29):
Okay, look, I am a little out of my depth here. I
have been through manyadventures, traveled the seas
and found my own way acrosscountries and continents. But
this is something that they havenot had the pleasure of dealing
with before smoky stones. Whoknew that was a thing. So what

(15:50):
would you like to do? I canpotentially lead you in a
direction but I am I get out ofmy depth here.

Will (15:57):
Specifically, we met a we met a gnome. His name was
Pedrycz. He's the historian ofArcus. The number two historian
and he told us of I don't knowthat he's still up a thing. Oh,
ah, Mark. Mark. Do you rememberpartridge? Do we already asked
him that question? We probablydid.

Tanner (16:18):
Maybe it didn't matter.
Baskin. You do? Yeah.

Unknown (16:21):
Yes. Little short bald guy. I tried to attack before I
flung myself out of the window.
How could I forget?

Will (16:27):
Ah, it was

Bruce (16:29):
safe to say he survived.
That's a very, very, verydetailed memory. What happened
in that room?

Will (16:34):
It is that's good sign.
Well, I guess we could start byI have a few questions for him
at this point. Like what? Whatis this stone? What if you could
tell me anything about Navarreday taste? Anything?

Tanner (16:51):
Do you know how to find this man again?

Will (16:54):
No. But he did tell me about the Queen's historian. The
number one historian in all ofLear. I thought maybe we could
try to see him. I don't know ifArchie would be okay with this.
Archie.

Bruce (17:10):
As long as aren't gonna look at her ugly face here.

Tanner (17:13):
Who is her ugly face?

Will (17:15):
I think it was talking about the queen. Oh, she's very
beautiful.

Bruce (17:20):
Are you sure you're not blind might

Tanner (17:22):
Yeah, no she's like good.
It is a well known here for hotgirl summer she was very loaded

Will (17:36):
Yes,

Bruce (17:37):
I don't know what hot girl summer is.

Tanner (17:39):
But do you remember golf girl summer.

Will (17:42):
GGS Jin's? DGS Yeah,

Tanner (17:47):
we all remember golf grossular. Umbrellas everywhere.
Okay. All right. Look, look,look, look. Okay. If that's the
plan, if that is the only leadthat you have speaking to them.
I I do have some connectionswithin the Capitol. And luckily,
I guess we put up well, therewas a lot more to the cover. But

(18:09):
so now we can start here on thesecondary portion of the
conversation. You finish the jobin Arcus. Yes.

Bruce (18:19):
No, no, the job was. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Wait. We
agreed to take Arcus back fromsome punks who went to Casta
Haven, not disabled from somefrom some big black inky monster
so that voided the contract. Assoon as that thing showed up.
Okay, I don't

Tanner (18:39):
write so. What is his name? The asshole that came in?
He is

Bruce (18:47):
John Drew. Abernathy.
Abilene?

Tanner (18:49):
Yeah, Chandra. Thank you. Yes, Chandra airberlin. So
he is still in town. News, stillstaying at the edge. And we
could do one of two things. Now.
You see, I like having goodbusiness relations. So if this
was like you didn't quite finishthe job. And we need to keep
how, if what you say is true,and this thing just takes people

(19:14):
what is the likelihood that ittook all of the next inheritors
from the city?

Bruce (19:24):
I mean, it's highly likely it took everybody from
the city we barely escaped.

Tanner (19:28):
But but but but if they don't, if people don't remember
people being in the city, thisis one of those gray spaces,
right. So can we say

Bruce (19:39):
technically the job was still completed? I see what you
say yes.

Tanner (19:43):
Is this a technicality we can lean on?

Will (19:46):
The part of the job was to keep dentists safe. We didn't
even meet him.

Tanner (19:51):
If you didn't meet them

Bruce (19:52):
or say but that was written in auto.

Fraser (19:55):
He probably has no memory of dentists. Ooh,

Bruce (19:59):
that's a good one. Why don't matter if he's does
because there was a clause inthe contract that clearly stated
If harm were to come to Dennisbefore we were able to locate
him is not our problem.

Will (20:08):
That's true. We never located him never located

Bruce (20:10):
a loophole. I like loopholes or you think you're
dealing with here but I

Tanner (20:15):
mean that's what I am saying like if we I was trying
to get you to come to thatconclusion because if we can
argue that to Chantry then wecan say we accomplished our
parts of the deal again, I waspaid my entire fee up front. I
know you got 50% up front.
Chandra has not let me forgetthat so if you want to collect
the remaining 150 Well, howabout this? You said that this

(20:38):
thing when it takes when ittakes people right they can't
remember it? Is there someone wecan ask that if met these
people? I remember Duddridge

Will (20:52):
Okay, hundreds didn't get taken. do you where

Fraser (20:55):
do we find him?

Bruce (20:58):
Um Well here we could just we could always just ask
Abilene if he remembers who isfucking Baker was

Will (21:05):
oh yeah, we could just ask abolade about Zeke glad foot

Tanner (21:08):
you could ask Abilene about did you know about the
cloud foot before?

Bruce (21:12):
I apparently he was Jones with his boots on now here's the
interesting part is the problemstarted with dentists in the
first place is when we let thesekids in there

Tanner (21:21):
okay well here is even with that information. Was there
anyone else that you brought orknow of to find that would be
able to be a third party sourcethat is objective in this whole
situation? That might be able tosay something's

Bruce (21:43):
a gesture my hand over to Aaron Berger

Tanner (21:46):
All right, I forgot about your ass.

Fraser (21:49):
Oh, he's here with us.
So

Tanner (21:51):
yeah, I personally I personally didn't I just
referred left about side okay,

Will (21:55):
he literally wrote on the back of Archie sorry about that.

Tanner (21:58):
Um, so you gesture over to Aaron who's just staring off
into space I mean, they're goingthere could be just the the
answer to life itself right inthis room and he would not see
it at this point.

Bruce (22:18):
This guy what he's a bar he knows everybody in the city.
Okay,

Tanner (22:23):
I mean it's worth a shot. Like I said, you know,
what's his face is in the edge.
And if you can convince himthat's on you. I can say that I
maintain that to my contractposition. That's what I like
about having you guys undercontract is like saying you
know, hey, now I pay them justas much as you pay them so we
won't work with those guys againbut they would just means that I

(22:46):
won't work with John threeagain, so it's no big deal.

Bruce (22:50):
I don't really loss.

Tanner (22:52):
No, no, no.

Bruce (22:53):
It was his god captain.
Oh, we rescued from the basementor whatever.

Will (23:00):
You mean Harry?

Bruce (23:02):
Harry. Harry. Harry. If he if he remembers Harlan and
that means horror and survived

Will (23:09):
horror and could definitely be a good witness for
what we did what we face he

Bruce (23:14):
would be because while he also pretends to be a witness in
saying that we ran away andeverything died but wait, hold
on. He knows

Will (23:21):
Bark Bark you remembered horn hards alive that's good
that I did. Or maybe he's notalive but he's certainly didn't
get swallowed by big smoke

Bruce (23:31):
in that zip glad foot fucka is

Tanner (23:34):
you asking him if he knows the glad foot

Bruce (23:37):
Yeah Mark Mark Oh

Fraser (23:39):
yes,

Tanner (23:40):
no. Oh no not remember.
God foot hoo

Will (23:45):
hoo Oh, it was so fun for me yes, I'm

Fraser (23:51):
trying to like I'm thinking in my head now like Who
should we remember I will tellyou because we will remember in
real life and so we're like ohyeah, that person but then yeah,

Tanner (24:00):
nope. If we shouldn't barn we shouldn't Mark bark does
not remember is he glad foot noso why

Fraser (24:06):
would mark bark specifically not remember his
eeglab foot

Tanner (24:10):
you have not been taken

Bruce (24:11):
Mark Mark was not taken by the the big bad black inky
monster thing we were okay sohold

Fraser (24:16):
on so anyone that has been taken by by the Neverthere
there oh he's getting it willwill remember anyone else no
matter what. Yep. But I'llfucking shit

Bruce (24:34):
I just realized

Fraser (24:37):
who is Zeke and Why are his feet so goddamn happy

Bruce (24:44):
I just look at six and I go that's your fucking proof.
All right. That's,

Will (24:50):
that's more than enough.
Let's go see Chandra. Get ourmoney.

Tanner (24:54):
Yes, either. I mean, you know.

Will (24:58):
And he does like either

Bruce (25:01):
if you were a Mullah by Mamane, you know,
legal tender place,

Tanner (25:07):
I would say rest but a lot of this stuff seems to be
like, really time sensitive,especially if whatever this
thing was that you met in Leylenruins is now closer into the
continent. Like I don't knowwhere it would have had to come
through in order to get here.
Right? Like,

Bruce (25:24):
it came out of some mountain pass over the opposite
of the splinterlands. Yeah,

Will (25:30):
I can. I can tell you how it came. I did the book. Yeah.
Okay, here

Tanner (25:37):
comes

Fraser (25:40):
my favorite book. Um,

Will (25:45):
when and when that stone is around me, I've pretty much
the only thing I can think is Ibecome the smoke.

Bruce (25:56):
Oh, you smoke when it ate professor? Oh yeah. Margo. Our
Agha Agha Melkite that doesn'tmake sense.

Will (26:04):
But I did eat Rangi

Fraser (26:05):
ha I reach into the bag and kind of peek the stone out
just a little bit. Yeah, yeah,you can see my shoulder back in
real quick and then I pick itout and then I shove it back in
real quick and pick it out.

Tanner (26:16):
Um, so yeah, okay.
You're doing if you're doingthis kind of testing thing, the
there's there's a littlereaction the stone is certainly
still reaching out. And like, Iwill say at most you get a
little bit of tunnel vision fromthis.

Will (26:35):
Six. Huh? That's quite the effect. I don't like it. Please
don't do that.

Fraser (26:42):
What did you feel?

Will (26:44):
Well, I felt like I was in a tunnel. Over and over again.
in rapid succession. Not yet.

Tanner (26:51):
Okay. The episode of sex jokes. Love it.

Bruce (26:57):
Ha ha ha ha ha.

Will (26:59):
That's actually not where I was going with this.

Tanner (27:01):
Oh, okay. My bad. I got a dirty mind come.

Bruce (27:04):
Ostrich head you fucking parrot.

Tanner (27:07):
All right. This is good.

Will (27:10):
This is this. This is this podcast

Fraser (27:12):
just keeps getting better. Good. keeps getting
better.

Tanner (27:15):
Alright. Okay, look so you guys can go. I would we're
making

Will (27:20):
something at one point.
You know?

Tanner (27:22):
We still are a baby. You guys could go you should go talk
to John three. He is. He is youknow, certainly not staying in
one of your excellent rooms atthe edge. You're welcome. But,
you know, I know stable grandpaprobably has your horses taken
care of so they will be restedand fed. A couple of things that

(27:43):
we need to kind of considerbefore you do take off. Mark
bark. Well, I guess Archie andsix I am already in business
with you. We have contractssigned. Is this man here? And he
points to the drought.

Will (27:57):
Is he part of the deal? I

Tanner (28:01):
think we've gone through a little bit together where I
could kind of trust yourdecision making skills you have
made me money and that is whatmatters right now. What? What
I'm asking for is do I need togo buy an extra horse?

Will (28:17):
No, probably not. Mark Barker's not really staying with
us. I don't really like him.

Tanner (28:23):
Alright, thanks for being

Fraser (28:27):
here. Thank you all so much. Fuck you all fuck you.

Bruce (28:31):
Such a sad sad.

Will (28:34):
I think that that question is best left up to Bark Bark
Bark Bark. Just speaking from mysake. You were a big help. In
Arcus you helped us a lot youbroke down the barrier with your
cool glowing purple sword andhit people with your purple over
and over again. What is that?
That's pretty cool.

Fraser (28:53):
That's a special friend of mine that comes with me.

Tanner (28:57):
We got to stop using that word.

Fraser (29:00):
Special friend you know what I mean?

Will (29:05):
Come together a lot

Fraser (29:10):
Oh yes.

Will (29:12):
With this stuff I'm gonna have to leave it at the podcast
if we don't stop

Bruce (29:21):
I think we're past it otherwise it was just come
again.

Will (29:28):
Please help Okay, listen

Tanner (29:29):
what I'm going to do as a good to get you set up we're
gonna have we'll have a gooddiscussion about contracts and
everything later what what arethe I think what we need to
figure out is if this this thingsweeping the land, is it a
plague it's going to continue onmoving is something controlling
it. I have jobs for you guys,but I think this might seem a
little bit more important rightnow. Agreed.

Will (29:50):
Well, yes. But Mark Bart, you'd ever
gave me an official answer. Areyou? Are you wanting to be a
part of the Black Wolf brigadeThat's our name by the way that
I Archie came up with a verycool,

Tanner (30:03):
I need to make patches EWB.

Unknown (30:06):
I didn't pick that name, but I guess I'm here
already. I don't really havemuch better to do. And I'm
invested in the story. Let's go.
I mean,

Tanner (30:17):
servitude, you can leave any time. All right. So I'll get
you set up all the mencontracts. I'll send it

Bruce (30:24):
online man. All right.
Harner means family and a familymeans nobody gets

Tanner (30:32):
diving into other IPs. I don't know why I'm saying this
in bass voice. But hey, we'vebroken so many walls. Why not
the fourth one. All right. So hesends a message out, he goes, he
walks back over to his desk, hestarts sorting through
contracts. And you guys kind ofwalk up as he waves you over as
he's sorting through contracts,aren't you you notice for a
moment, something that makesmakes your makes your heart stop

(30:55):
for a second. What you see onpaper as he's sorting through
that quickly gets shuffled underother things. Is a sigil. And in
the middle of a sigil of thesigil is a wolf. And this sigil
is white. It's a wax stampthat's put on this, but you can

(31:19):
read within the indentationaround it and the inking of it
that this sigil says Hadley andSons

Bruce (31:29):
use fuck

Tanner (31:31):
it what does that?

Bruce (31:34):
Are she just like Alec, he owns the place just starts
finger down on a paper veryforcefully and just slides it
off. And just does it againuntil he finds the specific

Tanner (31:44):
few but you get to it. I pick it up. Okay. Yeah, you pick
up this, this sort of yellowtinted piece of parchment with
this white wax seal on it. I'mgoing to examine it. Okay. Yeah.
As you're looking down, it's abasic, pretty basic bill of
sale. You can see through a fewitems that are you know, typical
exports to places most of themare just simple weaponry.

(32:08):
Basically what you think thatbathe is keeping his armory
stocked with it does say that itcomes from your hometown, your
home city of Portway worth.

Bruce (32:23):
Should like hold it out to bathe with my finger pressing
against the seal advice for youSure. I just lose this little
groupie here. I learned signsare that

Tanner (32:37):
I've been working with them for probably the past two
and a half three years about.
They are a an import exportbusiness out of Portway with

Will (32:48):
DID YOU SAY Hadley?

Bruce (32:51):
Oh, yeah. Have you ever seen him in person? Yeah.

Tanner (32:57):
Well, no, I mostly I've I've dealt with his sons. He's
got two sons. Two of them.

Bruce (33:04):
As soon as you say

Tanner (33:06):
big fellas, you know, it doesn't seem like they would
have much brains but one of themactually is pretty smart. The
other one is clearly the muscle.

Will (33:14):
This is a good mark. BART

Bruce (33:16):
has good to know. But so so since we're it's a business
acquaintances, I really love tomeet them.

Tanner (33:28):
I mean, yeah, sure. I've I've got semi irregular
shipments in I don't needanything now since we are pretty
well stocked up from you knowwhat you guys might need on your
next exposition. Expedition. SoBut Wait, who

Unknown (33:44):
are the WHO ARE THE Hadleys? Oh, boy.

Bruce (33:49):
Yeah, what is i?

Unknown (33:51):
Why do I get Archie?
No, these fellows

Bruce (33:55):
now never met him before in real life.

Tanner (33:59):
Okay. Yeah. Well, that is a weird thing to point out
then because it kind of seemslike you do. He sets the paper
back down. I feel like this is aconversation that's not going to
go anywhere. So yes, if it's ifit's a blood feud to the name
that you have, I don't mind youmeeting him. There are always

(34:19):
always other people to ship methings. So I don't care. We can
always build new businessrelationships, but like the
thing is, I don't need youstabbing me in my back. Because
you are closer to me than theyare. So. Hey, man, whatever you
wanted to

Bruce (34:38):
know, I always smack people square in the face with
this axe.

Tanner (34:42):
Okay, well. Cool. Do you have any other questions upon
that line of conversation? Arewe can we move on to the black
thing? Smokey object that movesacross the land and takes people
so that they are forgotten?

Will (34:55):
I don't know. This is this was a new one for me. Yeah,

Bruce (34:59):
sure. We can shelf these factors for a while. Okay,

Tanner (35:04):
I mean, like I said, it is up to you what is more
important in life? But you know,you got it.

Will (35:14):
Well, I think we know where to find him. Archie. Find
who? Archie's old best friendbefore he met me.

Bruce (35:23):
Hmm he's a fucking wind goes away.

Tanner (35:28):
All right. So with this new amount of information after
Bates flips through the otherfew things

Bruce (35:38):
nice. Since you're such a good guide rough. I'll give you
a wee bit of advice. Anybody whouses that symbol is not me. You
probably shouldn't trust them.

Tanner (35:51):
Yeah, okay. I don't really trust anyone. I do
business with you. I mean, youguys are the exception and He
winks convincing, that'sprobably good. I mean, I you
know, you know that business.

Bruce (36:04):
Exactly. Yeah, there you go.

Tanner (36:06):
Okay, so here's the, here's the I can do this real
quick. It amends the originalcontracts that you guys have.
And he has a couple places foryou to initial Okay, so you sign
here, here and here. And then onthis third page, you sign here
at the bottom we date here orthe stamp on this side. So if
you go ahead and do that, don'tworry about reading it, and he
thrusts a pin into your handMarburg, and kind of just points

(36:27):
places out.

Unknown (36:28):
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I need my lawyer to go over
this.

Tanner (36:31):
You have that you have lawyers?

Bruce (36:34):
I take his papers. Okay.

Tanner (36:37):
Archie starts going through it for you.

Bruce (36:40):
I'm reading them. Hold on.

Fraser (36:42):
I need six.

Will (36:43):
should I should I trust this contract? Oh, absolutely.

Fraser (36:48):
Nevermind, Archie, should I trust this contract?

Bruce (36:52):
Well, I'm on page four or 573. So you're gonna have to
give me a bit of time to figurethat same contract you

Tanner (36:57):
already signed? Fuck it.
Where

Fraser (36:59):
do I sign?

Tanner (37:01):
Okay, so you sign in.
You sign in six different placesin initial in 42 different
places. The contract is nowsign. You have a horse outside.
There's a space at the bottom ofthe paper for you to name
because no one wants to hear medo stable grandpa anymore.

Fraser (37:16):
Wait, what I have to name a horse who has just said
hey, you can

Tanner (37:21):
you can either name it now sign another contract. Or
you can go talk to stablegrandpa about what his opinion
might be.

Fraser (37:25):
Oh, yeah, we're definitely gonna talk. Alright.
So we're sure

Tanner (37:30):
that you'll name it once you meet it because you can't
name a horse without seeing itin the face, of course. Alright,
so you're all signed up. Youwill also have your own room at
the edge you'll be set up with ahorse and able to get in none of
these contracts once you've youknow, stopped people from being
swallowed into nothingness. Thethree of you finally leave out

(37:52):
word enterprises. And look backreal quick. And does anyone grab
Aaron as you are? Who is againjust staring at the ceiling?

base house that showed a baseplace. Poor bathe. Oh, do we

second. I love fun.

ways which disappear Oh, sorrybecause they were doing drugs

(43:23):
them. Get it because Novar truthTruth Novar. In other news, I

and begins once again looking ateach of you. expectedly

Unknown (43:52):
um, what the fuck did

Bruce (43:58):
I right? Wait, yeah, we'd have caught him up on that part.
Did 106

Will (44:02):
Ah, yeah, my my mask. I mean, I know. I know that you
recognize what I am at thispoint because I told you but
yeah, it has a lot to do withthis entity. All of this is
weird.

Fraser (44:20):
When you that's a word quest.

Will (44:21):
Weird. Question. Is it weird?

Bruce (44:25):
Is this weird? Oh, it's weird. Okay, it's going to
fucking weird.

Tanner (44:29):
The weirdest thing is Mark bark. As you look at six.
You could see the golden crackson his mask continued to
lengthen down the side of hisface and one of them connects
with the hole where his tealgoing through your eyes peek
out. You feel a greaterconnection to this six. Go ahead

(44:51):
and tell me what the boon is onit currently.

Will (44:53):
So my current boon is that when I gain advantage when I I'm
trying to persuade someone whenit is helping save their lives.

Tanner (45:05):
That Boon now extends to a deception.

Fraser (45:10):
Oh shit. Okay, well, that's good,

Will (45:12):
bro. You're making me broke.

Tanner (45:15):
I'm for it broke his fuck. Okay. Now, Archie, you see
this vision too. And as youthink about it, you think about
the mark on the back of yourhand. The crescent moon that's
there begins to fill out andbecome a fuller moon. And you

(45:41):
can feel the powers of your boonalso increase Can you tell me
what the current boon is?

Bruce (45:46):
The basic, I think, idea was I had advantage on
perception checks using smell orhearing so non sight, okay.

Tanner (45:56):
So as this moon fills out more, this power now extends
to insight. So if you're tryingto suss out of someone's you
know, what their motives are, ifthey're telling the truth or
something like that dogtypically have a connection with
people they can sense goodpeople bad people. And they

(46:16):
certainly don't do it throughsight. It's typically holy,

Bruce (46:19):
yeah, no, I get what you're saying. I mean, people
people's biology changes when itchanges when they lie so what
should most people should somepeople I Okay,

Tanner (46:28):
yep. So there you go.
You guys are even more broken insocial situations. Alright. This
is it is certainly a weird thingthat you're seeing Mark bark you
can you can feel kind of thisthis power pulsing out of it.
The the weirdest thing is thebreaking up of whoever this
person while this to you Ravenwas talking about because you

(46:49):
did hear the static within therebut

Bruce (46:55):
that I hear in a in their herd and this

Tanner (46:57):
is just you at this point six you heard the A
Archie, you heard in a in

Bruce (47:04):
an in a n and n was That was that was the first the first
universe mummy movie. Oh knockSula,

Unknown (47:14):
Moon knock tsunami.
Yeah, nice. Good rest is suchgood movies. Oh, they

Tanner (47:19):
are such Scorpion King.

Bruce (47:23):
Brendan Fraser mummies are such good movies. Brennan
vago Tom Cruise mommy terrible.
I assumed as much as becausethey tried to make a horror
movie, didn't they?

Tanner (47:31):
Well, they also tried to make a universe with it. So they
brought in Russell Crowe whoplays hide. Dr. Jekyll

Bruce (47:40):
Ah,

Tanner (47:40):
I see. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
And it's so they were going tobuild like that. Yeah. Okay, we
are gonna go in that. Okay. Allright. So yeah, this happens.
The Raven is just sitting there.
Thank you.

Will (47:55):
We'll see you later.

Tanner (47:56):
It nods and flies off.
Okay. Hey, you just dismissedit,

Bruce (48:02):
man. It's not a crow. So I'm not gonna like give it a
piece of bread. I feel likethat'd be insulting. Yeah.

Tanner (48:08):
Okay, so now you guys make your way back over to the
look around

Bruce (48:14):
and see if anybody else noticed screaming Raven.

Tanner (48:17):
People are walking by and not paying attention. Okay,

Will (48:20):
what did Aaron is your do

Bruce (48:22):
do during this time? It doesn't matter because he's on
drugs. So yes, our he's anouterspace do. He

Will (48:28):
is fairly certain he is tripping balls. Yeah, my boy

Fraser (48:31):
is gone.

Tanner (48:33):
He's gone. But always there. It's very impressive.
Alright, so okay. What plan areyou formulating as you go to the
edge? Alright,

Bruce (48:41):
so here's how we're gonna do this.

Unknown (48:42):
We no one's gonna explain the talking fucking
bird. Really?

Will (48:49):
Well, you're gonna have to meet St. Sebastian to understand
the talking fucking bird. And asyou say eloquently put it
somewhat difficult

Bruce (48:57):
because he's under

Unknown (48:58):
seat seats, talking birds tattoos that change cracks
on faces.

Bruce (49:05):
Fingers crossed anyway.

Will (49:08):
What was that? Oh, no. I heard an A it was more like

Bruce (49:15):
I don't know. Anyway.
It's not relevant right now.
Let's let's let's handle what'simmediately in front of us. And
I'll explain that to you. On theway to the next spot. Yeah,

Fraser (49:26):
we're starting to regret signing that contract.

Bruce (49:28):
The contract has nothing to do with this. So it suits
alright. Plus, you'll find outthat every contract is breakable
in some way shape. You

Will (49:34):
can't say you can't say this isn't a little interesting.

Unknown (49:38):
That's not the word I was going to use but I guess it
fits

Bruce (49:43):
the I said it was fucking wicked the first time I heard it
too. Anyway. Alright, so theright whale summary. Purple
golden bird is familiar of acircuit. I buy. He believes this
is the last one to know are thenames of a dying God wants to

(50:03):
bring him back? Oh no man. Lookat my character sheet it says
fucking maybe near deity butthat's just summary pretty much.
Point is we're weed we almostdied in a cave in some other
cave as some dude there hecursed us it's kind of fucked up
what he says his call I say it'sfucked up because this

Will (50:22):
um he did curses with these boons so

Bruce (50:26):
that's some weird shit going on here but I don't have
time to worry about that that'sthe least of my worries because
he's not hurting me. So there'syour summary. I really can't
give you much more until we gofind the guy again and we're
gonna we're gonna find the guysif we go under the chasm on a
nice sex was that city goldwon't hold dear wound hold here

(50:46):
that place went all those cavesunderneath it that lead to the
side of it. And that's how Ifound a guy.

Will (50:52):
I think we'll have to see St Sebastian again. So we'll
make sure to introduce you.
It'll make a lot more sensethen.

Bruce (51:01):
No, it won't. It won't make any more sense. It'll be
just as fucking weird. Which iswhy it's kind of true. I want to
explain to you in the firstplace. Doesn't help.

Unknown (51:09):
I feel like my life is about to get a lot weirder
hanging out with you too.

Bruce (51:13):
Oh, we shouldn't wait.
All right, let's make sure solet's get fucking weird. And the
old space

Fraser (51:18):
cadet over here.

Tanner (51:19):
Oh, if you've never been to space, you should totally try
it over us was I mean, thekosmos are the cause of
everything that is most good.

Will (51:28):
That's why they're called the castle. That was

Fraser (51:31):
oh, that was good.

Bruce (51:32):
Thank you. Thanks. So plan is blank. It's not a good
one. But it's all I got. I mean,really, it's all we got. So
we're gonna say that weinterrupted the ritual of trying
to summon some guy named dormlouder. I don't know. Bongo
breath. What it Yeah, that guy.
We interrupted it. We hitsomething on the stone. And some
black myths came out. And allthe Nixon overdose whatever the

(51:54):
name is inheritors. The guys whoaren't gonna get anything
because they're all dead now.
They started like, convulsingand dying. And so we ran and
well, I shouldn't be dead andgone. Contract completed. We
never saw Dennis so we assume heescaped already. Or something. I
don't know. It doesn't matter.
He was hurt before we found him.
So it's irrelevant.

Unknown (52:13):
It sounded like you were trying to come up with a
lie. But you explained exactlywhat happened.

Bruce (52:18):
Right? The lie is that we caused it. I mean, this was like
90% True, but still. Don'tworry. I'll do all the talking.
Say this is why I let him dotalk. Hey, so

Tanner (52:29):
what part do you want me to play in his whole
fabrication? That is not afabrication, but 10%?
Apparently, I'm good at math.

Will (52:37):
We need you as a character witness.

Bruce (52:39):
You just got a thing.
Come into the city.

Tanner (52:43):
Yeah, no, I saw that.
Yeah, it was.

Will (52:47):
Also tell him that you don't know. Zeke glad foot. I
don't know is the grab foot.
Exactly. as well. Same

Fraser (52:55):
page.

Bruce (52:55):
No, don't. Don't wait.
Don't bring up sake. Youwouldn't even know if he knows
Zeke. I went to him. He gave ushis dentist. True.

Tanner (53:04):
Oh, the nurses son.
Their kids a fucking square.

Fraser (53:09):
All the way do I remember? Yeah. You remember

Bruce (53:12):
I said okay. And it's made it to mean does

Will (53:15):
it did make it?

fire. The weirdest.

Will (55:47):
Come, come, come come.

Tanner (55:49):

weird thing that you guys noticeabout him right now is he's in a
chair that does not fit thisplace. This motherfucker got a
chair somewhere and brought itinto pansies in and has placed
it there for him to sit in whilehe's in front of the fireplace.

Bruce (56:08):

Tanner (56:13):
Oh, good. Good. You've finished the the job that I've

Will (56:20):
Well, no, you still owe us more money.

Tanner (56:25):
All right. Did you finish the job?

Will (56:28):
Everyone's dead.

Tanner (56:31):
Everyone one in the town is dead.

Will (56:38):
No doubt your son is still alive. We believe we'd never met
him.

Tanner (56:43):
So wait. So how could my son denef? How do you know that
he's alive if you never met him?

Will (56:51):
Because you remember him?

Tanner (56:55):
I would remember my son whether or not he was alive. If
he died, I would still mourn hisdeath.

Bruce (57:00):
Do you remember the sound Baker?

Tanner (57:02):
The town Baker? I have my own Who else

Unknown (57:06):
do you Who else do you remember from town names and
folks?

Tanner (57:10):
Well, there was Lord Commander Heron there was 600
Yeah, we helped

Bruce (57:16):
him I met him Yeah, okay

Tanner (57:18):
there was the commander of the church God who I didn't
hire him so

Bruce (57:28):
you should fire all of them and they're not they're not
worth what you're paying them

Tanner (57:31):
the church really pays for them I don't have any
control over who they choose.

Bruce (57:36):
All right, well then if it's free, it's free.

Will (57:38):
It's kind of like yeah, clergy such I understand.

Tanner (57:42):
But then the there's there's the the the person who
runs doting doublets and othergrateful garments in town and
then name is and you could seethe the the look wash over his
face this sort of confusion of

Bruce (57:57):
he didn't make it. She didn't make it. They didn't
know. We they?

Tanner (58:02):
I don't have I don't remember everyone that's in
town. I'm I'm an important man.
There's not. Did you get rid ofthe next inheritors?

Bruce (58:14):
Yeah, actually, I got some bad news for you, though.
Your sons the reason that they

Tanner (58:18):
might do dentists Would not I sent him to that school.
And he would I'm just nodding.

Bruce (58:24):
I'm just nodding, like very slowly, like, at very
knowingly, like there's clearlyno lie in my face because it's
true.

Will (58:31):
Yeah, unfortunately.
Dennis, let's call it arebellious phase.

Tanner (58:39):
Dennis doesn't have a rebellious bone in his body, nor
the strength of character to lieto me in any state of form, or
to go against my best wishes. SoI'm disinclined to believe you.
I think he wanted to look cool.
Got enrolled persuasion withadvantage because everyone's
opening that around you.

Bruce (59:02):
And it's also the truth

Will (59:06):
okay, so that is a 14 plus five now Holy shit 18 Again,
game planners fun thing that hegave me is

Tanner (59:20):
boy has always been a little shit. A disappointment
Well, I'm not done ruminating onthis particular thoughts if
you'll please allow me to finishmy stay.

Will (59:32):
I was just gonna suggest he has a stupid name

Tanner (59:39):
it's not easy enough.
Now please continue

Bruce (59:48):
well, that's probably a smart decision, honestly. But
yeah, next inheritors, gone.
It's a stupid name. They don'thear it. And

Will (59:57):
look, I don't know that you really care about how
happen, but

Bruce (01:00:01):
he doesn't he specifically told us he doesn't
care how we did it and he didn'twant to know.

Tanner (01:00:05):
Did you leave a lot of dead bodies? No, no No probably
not. I

Will (01:00:10):
don't think you can find too many dead people. Well

Tanner (01:00:18):
there's someone cut in half there's someone that smoked
you don't know if it takes deadbodies or not. Oh, I

Bruce (01:00:24):
was gonna say there might be two people shoved in the
closet but and also those bodieswere all burned to
unrecognizable and he told us Ididn't even know they were able
to be seen as body because itwas magic burning so I figured
it cremated him and I could bewrong.

Tanner (01:00:37):
They'll leave a smell but okay,

Bruce (01:00:40):
but the body is not there so it doesn't matter because he
asked about bodies

Tanner (01:00:44):
what's his name was pit was just chopped in half and
left in a corner go yesterday

Will (01:00:51):
I wrote a 15 Minus one but as late as part of this whole
explanation, I'll say yeah, youwe did catch two two guys are
going through your study. There.
They're currently locked up inthe closet. they ransacked that
place. I think they took a fewvaluable items. Very very messy.
Another one took like a reallynice bottle of wine. Oh boy.

(01:01:12):
You're gonna need to get thesethings checked out. A bottle of
wine it was a frown. MerkinsChablis

Tanner (01:01:24):
Oh, okay.

Fraser (01:01:25):
Sure Billy

Tanner (01:01:26):

Fraser (01:01:32):

they not? Did you not did younot?
Did you not find did you notfind it the bottle?

Fraser (01:01:42):
Nope, it was gone.

Tanner (01:01:44):
You can see his eyes

Bruce (01:01:46):
start to tear up bad look at six and I just I just give
him a very wide eyed. Keep yourfucking mouth shut. Look.

Unknown (01:01:54):
Did did this bottle of Chablis have some meaning to
you? You seem attached to it.

Tanner (01:02:01):
It is grown at the Queen's Own vineyard on the
castle aisle on the lake.
It's her there's onlythe grapes don't exist anymore.
They brought them over from theold country when?

Will (01:02:22):
Oh wow, that sounds expensive. How much is that
worth? The amount that I alreadytold you? It was like three said
3000 either. He would say

Unknown (01:02:32):
man I can't wait to I mean, I wish I could get a taste
of that way extinct Great.

Tanner (01:02:42):
Choudry finally recognizes it turns to you? Who
the fuck are you? Well, I'm

Fraser (01:02:49):
Marbach. Smooth, of course.

Tanner (01:02:51):
Oh, as if it's supposed to mean and he's

Bruce (01:02:53):
a bit out we brought in because they were doing some
kind of weird ritual.

Tanner (01:02:58):
Where do you find him?
On the road? In business. Okay.
All right. No need I feel

Bruce (01:03:09):
I feel like me on the road six would not have been in
the prison but okay. On the road

Tanner (01:03:21):
in prison in what?
Prison?

Fraser (01:03:28):
He's confused. He doesn't know what he's talking
about. I was never in prisonout. No, the road feels like a
prison

Will (01:03:33):
to me.

Tanner (01:03:35):
Roll deception advantage with the road. Oh, wow.

Bruce (01:03:39):
You're already given an advantage and Okay, nevermind.

Tanner (01:03:41):
I'm gonna allow that because I liked it. I I work
before before you say anything.
I just want to want to give somesort of visual idea of of wills
current state of being I canonly describe it as a little boy
pee dance.

Will (01:04:01):
I have. It's even better than that. I haven't rolled it
that 20 it'll allow me Yes, Idid get in that 24 By advantage.
Thank you for the advantagebecause the first role was a
natural one.

Tanner (01:04:12):
Wow, either end of the spectrum. Chandra, you know, his
face remains the same he he'ssort of sniffs up his tears
actually pulled back into histear duct. Wow. And again, a
little bit alright, he nods atthis and as he looks you up and

(01:04:34):
down Mark bark. What he doesnotice is the bag hanging from
you. I'm sorry. That's a verynice bag that you have there.

the years. It's a very specialbag to me. Oh, and I need

Bruce (01:04:56):

bag,

Tanner (01:05:01):
I said it was a black bag but bags. Yeah, but it

Fraser (01:05:05):
was black leather. No,

Bruce (01:05:06):
my point is there's no there's no obviously indicating
factor that we've noticed thatwas owned by somebody so that
means we may have just shotourselves in the foot.

Tanner (01:05:16):
Oh, yeah. Tell me where?
On your travels. Did you getsuch a thing? I think I would
like to pick one up myself.

Fraser (01:05:26):
Oh, I couldn't possibly remember I've had so i

Tanner (01:05:30):
i You must you must try.
No, I

Fraser (01:05:33):

Tanner (01:05:37):
Oh, do you remember the name of the old friend?

Fraser (01:05:41):

Tanner (01:06:19):

looks just like that. So goodtaste I suppose. Sorry for the
massive amount of inquiry.

Fraser (01:06:31):
Oh quite alright. Great Minds my friend great minds.

Tanner (01:06:35):
Sure. Sure. Okay, so the three of you are telling me that
the job is done now Forgive meif I don't quite

Will (01:06:48):
have sorry. I'll just have we did this thing for this guy
getting paid by him We robbed

Bruce (01:06:58):
like anybody listening to this podcast site going any
other way.

Fraser (01:07:03):
I knew what was in my bag.

Tanner (01:07:06):
So okay, I once again I'm sorry if I if I seem a bit
distrusting of you. But this isa contract and I would like
prove that the contract has beenfulfilled before I pay you the
remaining 75 either. You haveany proof that you got rid of

(01:07:27):
the next inherited problem?

Will (01:07:30):
Aaron is your

Tanner (01:07:33):
he finally looks over to the bar who is actually
wandering through the bar justtouching people on their
shoulder. Man this is like uslike heaviness. Like you know if
you ever wanted to rubber likethe softest cow and it's just
made of butter. I mean, it issuch a

(01:07:55):
good feeling man and the guythat he's rubbing. It's just he
is so weirded out at this point.
He's just rubbing his suedejacket.

Will (01:08:04):
My phasers.

Tanner (01:08:06):
That is your arm. I mean, I recognize Aaron as
you're sure if you can get himout of a drug induced stupor for
long enough I could potentiallysee him as a decent witness in
this situation. He was chroniclelysing the whole thing

Will (01:08:23):
Hey, Aaron, Aaron. Yeah.
Oh,

Tanner (01:08:26):
hey. Oh man. What are you guys doing here? How did you
i It's been so long

Will (01:08:33):
Oh, yes. Oh, five minutes.
Blog type Hey, can you pleasetell John Kerry what you saw?
Oh, I don't leave anything out.
I can sing it please fucking do

Tanner (01:08:50):
my mouth he sings the song of his people
was sitting outside it's been aday light with my own company I
was so high then I'll look tothe town and owed something

(01:09:15):

I held it the skills that Icasting down songs I'm weaving
words leaving so fast. In thesilence she came from the east.

(01:09:41):
Run my eyelids jobs I didn'tknow save. I could say to the
latest new monster. Dark instock sounds of signing Jim
buster. Caught in Smoke inks thechoke all I'm feeling Ha ha I
know is to run but I reallyforces dark at the heart. Now

(01:10:07):
it's chasing, realizing,despising, disgracing all the
earth that it touches for God 10For the moment inside it is
carved in and it reveals like itfeels something pulling rushing

(01:10:27):
out is not far this door callingfor walls flutes it always it

for the scroll King. Now thereason I sat on the stove has me

(01:10:53):

all I can decry within I dreadthe mask and the sword and the

(01:11:13):
wolf herdChowdhry is I don't want to have
to roll persuasion for my ownfucking song. So what I need you

(01:11:40):
guys to do is you know what,this was all the truth. It's all
the truth. You've told him thetruth. It's up to him whether or
not he wants to believe it. Andhe looks over this over over the
four of you.
All of this is soimmensely unbelievable.

Bruce (01:12:05):
Imagine how we feel we lived it. I agree.

Tanner (01:12:10):
Is my home safe and free of the incursion placed upon it
by these young people?

Fraser (01:12:19):
The only way you're going to believe us is to go
home and see it yourself.

Tanner (01:12:23):
Well, then I won't pay you until I see this. If that is
your argument,

Bruce (01:12:28):
you seem trustworthy. I don't believe you to withhold
payment on a job complete.
There's a less of a threat inthere. And by the way, just so
you know, turn your

Tanner (01:12:37):
role intimidation

Bruce (01:12:40):
17 Okay.

Tanner (01:12:43):
You can see his face. It goes sort of very neutral. When
you say this, the severity thathe's carried on his face kind of
disappears. Fine. Put it thisway, every thing in life is
business Correct? Indeed. Sowhat I will do is I will go

(01:13:06):
ahead and pay you yourremaining. I will go ahead and
pay you your remaining 75either. And I will go home,
assess the situation and if Ihave any issues I will get in
contact with you. If you're notopposed to that, then neither am
I.

Bruce (01:13:25):
Two things one things sure your armory was open some
other gotten the armory, I wouldyou would definitely check that
out. And two, you will find twogreencoat stuffed in a closet.
Your study they've been in therefor how long are you gonna say
Baba now about 50. So oursprobably won't survive much

(01:13:48):
longer. So when you get there,you're sure that you're gonna
clean up dead bodies. Fine. Allright.

Tanner (01:13:57):
And he pulls out his purse and begins counting out a
few coin. He counts out 75fighter and hands it over

Bruce (01:14:04):
to you divided into three and hand it to six and

Will (01:14:11):
wait. Yes, 70 wasn't? What was the original agreed upon
amount?

Tanner (01:14:17):
Are you asking him?

Will (01:14:19):
No, I'm not I'm asking the

Bruce (01:14:22):
agreement was 150 Now 130 later?

Will (01:14:25):
Yeah. I'm actually looking at it. You know, I don't really
care about either. But Archie ifyou remember. Was it the
agreement for 150 and 150?

Bruce (01:14:37):
Parties just counting out three stacks of 25 He's waiting
to see and not even reallylooking at challenge. Are you
just waiting to see what hisreaction is at six asking that
question. Well,

Tanner (01:14:48):
now we agreed on 150 and 75. The upfront was for the
extra items you needed tocomplete the quest.

Unknown (01:14:57):
Then why did you say you had paid us half Yes, why?

Tanner (01:15:01):
He looks over at you and he a bit of a snarl comes on his
face. Fine, it is the you got todeal get a deal where you can.
You don't keep money by spendingmoney and he counts out the
other 75 and hands it over toyou.

Fraser (01:15:22):
No hard feelings.
Everything in life is business.

Tanner (01:15:25):
Yes, it is.

Will (01:15:26):
You know that's kind of noble but in its own way.

Bruce (01:15:28):
Archie is going to take his two stacks 25 and combine
them together and he's gonna sayhe's gonna slide them back over
to Chandran. He shouldn't belike, consider this an
investment on some of the damageI may have caused. On some
damage you may have caused.
Well, no fight goes. If it goes,Are you always playing it to go?

Tanner (01:15:46):
Alright. And he takes it back and puts it back in his
purse.

Will (01:15:50):
Shit. I didn't expect that from Archie.

Bruce (01:15:53):
He's already got he's not like well, it. Huawei

Tanner (01:15:58):
is hard business.
Okay. Look, so I,I believe we're on the level at
this point. I don't have if youcan imagine many allies, like
you understand where I'm comingfrom.

Bruce (01:16:18):
As far as I'm concerned, after you walk out of here, I've
never met you. I might meet youagain down the road, but I've
never met you up until I meetyou again.

Tanner (01:16:25):
But how would you like to actually have met me? And
also help me out with my newbarony in parotia? I need people
who can get things done.
dangerous people.

Bruce (01:16:43):
Are you implying the ability to act under authority
of the Barony?

Tanner (01:16:50):
Well, of course you would have to leave bathe, yes.
But yes, you would have theauthority of a barony behind
everything you do.

Bruce (01:16:58):
Oh, I see. So it would be a direct employment not an
employment of all of us so tospeak, would be cutting the
cutting the fat from the meat soto speak.

Tanner (01:17:11):
Sure, no middleman.

Fraser (01:17:14):
I knew I shouldn't have signed that goddamn contract.

Will (01:17:18):
Well, we're unfortunately we are under contractual
obligation. Maybe when thecontract is up, we can talk
irony does sound prettypowerful.

Tanner (01:17:27):
I could buy out a contract easily.

Bruce (01:17:30):
Six and mod my head was here but I like bass. I like
working with him of his gym andgo hang out here.

Will (01:17:38):
I was only going to go if you were going to go Archie. I'm
staying bathe as well

Bruce (01:17:43):
as a smirk on Archie's face and kind of note denotes it
and he's definitely smell andwhat Chandra is stepping in
there.

Tanner (01:17:52):
Aaron comes on, you know, between you guys and puts
his arms over you guys. And um,you can't buy on a zoo or either
baby I'm sticking with the lifethat I have chosen and that is
making the greatest music you'veever heard, but also chronicling
the whole Adventures of thesetwo dummies and this new dummy
to so these are my best friendsever. You cannot buy me out

(01:18:15):
Choudry Abla

Bruce (01:18:20):
thumbs back towards Erin.
Yeah. Well, Erin said

Tanner (01:18:24):
John Kerry looks completely unamused at this and
says fine. Should I have need ofyour assistance in the future I
will reach out to Baeth Ibelieve that we could greatly
assist one another. I haveconnections that Baeth does not
have especially in the capital.
So when I make my move onparotia and reclaiming the area

(01:18:45):
I will call upon you if youwould like to make more either.

Bruce (01:18:53):
However, whenever you need a skull cracked, you let us
know. Very good.

Tanner (01:18:57):
At this point. I bid you adieu I am going to turn in I
have an early morning trip backto morrow. Back to well at home
for now. I can't tell youparotia It was a beautiful place
before it well was abandoned. Sohave a wonderful night everyone.

(01:19:18):
I will see you in the future.
And he begins to walk off

Will (01:19:24):
parotia was a bed and

Bruce (01:19:25):
he walks out so I guess he goes upstairs right? Yeah, he
goes alright, it's pansy overthe bar. Jess, I walk over there
and I slide 10 gold over and Isay that if you want a down
whatever he's orders in themorning. Well,

Tanner (01:19:39):
I'd have to double water it down but sure. Perfect.
Alright, so at this pointChoudry has gone back up the
four of you the three of you andAaron is your are still at the
inside. What do you do?

Bruce (01:19:59):
I'm gonna get well okay.
Oh boy the six asked about whyArchie gave the money back.

Will (01:20:06):
No. Six first of all doesn't care about money. Second
of all, trust Archie witheverything at this point so
maybe Mark BART has something tosay

Fraser (01:20:17):
yeah Marburg looks at sixth and Archie and says, Don't
you gentlemen think it's time tocelebrate and reaches down into
the bag of holding and pulls outa very fancy bottle of Chablis
and pops that sucker open andtakes a big old swig and passes
it to Archie.

Tanner (01:20:35):
Except when you reach down into the bag, something
grabs ahold of your wrist andpulls you down in
