Let's pick up where the crewleft off.
Wylie (01:21):
And we have that map brought up in our little service
here.
And I have the rooms are notnumbered in any particular order
other than one, two, and threeare the first doors or would um
presenting to you as you arrive.
Um so it would make sense toeither enter through one, two,
or three, but you guys canchoose which room you want to
(01:41):
enter, and I will uncover themand I will put your little
player characters out there nowso we can move them around too.
Brad (01:49):
Just for the record, um, all of the road snacks are gone.
And Gordon has eaten everysingle one of them.
Except for one macaron that heforced uh is it your character
Alan to eat.
To try and make him see thatmacarons are really good.
Yep.
Instead of him not thinkingthey're great.
(02:11):
So uh so yeah, so yep.
Kipo (02:15):
Okay.
Yep, uh, yep, uh that's uhthat's um that's about the same
as it was the last time I hadit.
Thank you very much.
Brad (02:28):
Gordon is very offended.
Wylie (02:30):
When you get to be this age, everything just tastes like
cardboard.
Mimir (02:34):
Takes out his dentures.
Um there any like tracks oranything in the snow?
Wylie (02:40):
Um yeah.
As you arrive, it looks there'sdefinitely tracks.
I mean, it's a research centerand they've been walking around
outside too, so there's um, youknow, pr a pretty normal amount
of tracks.
How fresh.
Looks like there's definitelysome from today.
Just you know.
Brad (02:57):
Um can uh from looking at the buildings, can Gordon tell
if any of them are the kitchen?
Wylie (03:03):
Um so mainly you can see one, two, and three.
If you want to walk around theentire exterior, um I would let
you, you know, walk around theentire exterior and do a bit of
an investigation check.
And maybe you can determine thevents.
Um but um I don't know if howJared feels about that, if he's
worried about offending thepotential residents.
Mimir (03:24):
I want you to see if you know anybody, and then we can
just get a tour inside.
So why don't you just go in andum knock on the door on number
two, maybe?
Brad (03:35):
Oh I guess that's okay.
Maybe my my my uncle Boris willbe here.
I'll I'll I'll I'll check.
I'll check and see.
I'll just I'll knock on thedoor.
Wylie (03:48):
Okay.
Do you knock on the door ofnumber two?
Brad (03:49):
Yeah.
Wylie (03:50):
Okay.
You go up and you bang on thismetal door and you hear loud
metal banging echo.
You know it's a pretty loudknock, but you don't hear any
movement or anything inside.
Nobody comes to the door.
Brad (04:05):
Okay, I go walk around this time.
Mimir (04:08):
Wait, wait, wait.
You only tried one door.
There's two other doors.
Brad (04:13):
Um Gordon proceeds just to walk, doesn't care anymore.
He's gonna find the kitchen.
Okay.
Mimir (04:18):
Uh yeah, we'll accompany uh accompanying him, I guess.
Um, because I don't want tolike split up.
Um Okay.
Wylie (04:26):
You march around the entire exterior and you you can
roll an investigation check.
You know what you're lookingfor.
Mimir (04:31):
Can I give him the help action as a bonus action?
Sure, yeah.
Just in case.
Using your skills, you're look-you ask them what to look for in
a kitchen, what kind of airvents and about 10.
And so with the help, you getto roll with advantage, so you
can roll again.
Take the highest one.
Twenty! Let's go! Naturaltwenty.
Wylie (04:52):
So you guys just walk to the back.
And you can immediately tellthat number ten is the kitchen.
And just like your base, eachindividual room, you know, each
individual little silo has doorsto the exterior.
So you'll you're able to umcome over and go inside room
(05:13):
ten.
I assume you guys all head inthere.
Mimir (05:15):
Yep.
Wylie (05:16):
Okay.
Yes.
Mimir (05:17):
This is where Gordon pointed us, and he knows
everybody as ever existed,supposedly.
Wylie (05:23):
So this is the kitchen.
And I'm gonna make you guys alittle smaller.
Head on inside.
Okay, and then I'll describeour scene.
Okay, so as you enter room 10,the kitchen, um, you can tell
(05:46):
that scattered on the floor arediced root vegetables.
Um on the stove there is askillet, and there's it there's
fire cooking underneath it.
It's gas stove, and you can seethe flames, and so whatever was
in this skillet is totallyburnt to a crisp.
There are singe and fire marksall around the stove.
(06:09):
Um, give me an investigationcheck.
Mimir (06:12):
All of us?
Wylie (06:13):
Okay.
Brad (06:15):
I got an eleven.
Kipo (06:16):
Eleven?
Eight.
Eight.
Mimir (06:19):
Uh thirteen.
Wylie (06:22):
Thirteen.
Okay.
Um you don't notice it rightaway, but as you're walking,
suddenly your foot kind of slipsout from underneath you, and
you look down and you noticethere's this weird fuchsia jelly
on the floor.
Um, for anybody living inAlaska, it looks like fireweed
jelly.
So it has that same kind ofbright fuchsia pinkish red
(06:45):
color.
Um, and so that's there's thiskind of weird jelly on the
floor.
Um, and if you guys want todescribe how else you're
investigating the kitchen, Imight give you more information.
Brad (06:58):
Um Gordon actually just starts to eat what all was like
burnt and all of the the foodthat's been out.
Um, so he starts to eat it justto taste, you know, from
another chef.
Like how how how well is thisperson cooking, you know?
Wylie (07:15):
And so um so you taste the the different raw vegetables
that are on the floor and startto see how fresh his uh his
produce guy is.
Like does the produce guy getit in quickly or you can tell
that they're I mean they're rootvegetables, so it's kind of
hard to detect some freshness,but um you do realize, oh,
there's like some freshmushrooms in here.
(07:36):
Um and you I assume you go uponto the skillet that's on the
stove.
Brad (07:42):
Right.
I I examine well, I I eatwhat's in there as well as
examine how well is he takencare of his cast iron skillet.
Wylie (07:50):
Um so you can tell that skillet there's not actually any
food in there.
And even though it's quiteburnt, the food that was maybe
in there was not burnt into thatpan.
So it's just the oil that wason the pan um that has burned.
Um so there's vegetablesscattered everywhere, and
there's this burnt skilletwithout actually any food in it.
Brad (08:11):
Uh also Gordon goes up to the uh the jelly.
Uh is are there any crackers oranything around?
Wylie (08:19):
Um, no crackers.
Brad (08:20):
No crackers.
Uh then he's gonna take afinger and just taste the jelly.
Wylie (08:24):
Okay.
Okay.
Brad (08:25):
Yeah.
Wylie (08:25):
Um give me a perception check to see if you figure out
what this is saving through.
Mimir (08:31):
I thought that's what it was going to be.
I was like, he's dead.
Wylie (08:34):
It's a two no um this jelly has really exciting
flavors.
You did not expect that.
Um it honestly like it's aspice.
It kind of sort of like hothoney, like it actually burns
your mouth.
Um and you think it might be alittle sweet, but uh mostly a
(08:57):
little bit of burning.
Gordon (08:58):
Okay.
Hey guys, this is quite spicy.
You should you should try someof this jelly.
Jared (09:03):
It's like gonna eat crown jelly there, Mr.
Gordon.
Brad (09:09):
It it's uh a whole new flavor concept here.
Uh it's kind of burning.
Kipo (09:14):
Yeah.
Since we walked in, Alan isstill struggling to get his coat
off.
Jared (09:19):
Don't take off your coat yet.
We're only here for a littlebit there.
Kipo (09:24):
He starts putting it back on.
He starts putting everythingback on.
Mimir (09:32):
You didn't even get the full coat off.
How is it taking me longer toput it back on?
Um, I'm gonna see if there'sany signs of like struggle or
like weapons that have beenused.
I'm gonna have a full securityguard mode, so that's kind of
what I'm looking for.
Wylie (09:46):
Um yeah, like there are definitely knives thrown onto
the floor.
Okay.
Um like you can't really tellif they were actually being used
or they were knocked over.
Um it definitely feels likesomething chaotic happened in
here.
Brad (10:01):
Yeah.
Um while he's looking around,Gordon just gets a bowl and
scoops all of the jelly into itand just proceeds to keep eating
it with his finger.
Uh and and weirdly enjoying theburns.
Mimir (10:20):
Uh I'm gonna go up to door nine.
I don't think there's anythingin here for me.
Um I know Gordon wanted to comein here, um, but yeah, I'm
gonna go up to door nine and seeif what's uh on the other side
of door nine.
Wylie (10:31):
Okay.
So let's unlock door nine.
Okay.
So as you move, and you'regoing to move into that room by
yourself.
Mimir (10:41):
Uh yeah.
I don't like how you said that,but yeah.
Wylie (10:47):
I'm just seeing if anyone else wants me to move their
tokens too.
Brad (10:50):
Um I'll say, I'll I'll say this.
Is there anything else to eatin the kitchen?
Wylie (10:55):
I mean, you haven't checked the entire kitchen.
You're just you're eating thestuff that's out.
Like, did you look in thefridge or the freezer or the
cupboards or anything like that?
Brad (11:02):
Oh, I'm gonna well then yeah.
I'm I'm not walking with him.
I'm checking on the phone.
You're looting in the kitchen.
Uh yeah, I'm looking through.
Actually, I'm checking forspice, most likely.
Alan sits in a chair.
No, he's kind of falls asleep.
Mimir (11:15):
Can I ask Pyra to come with me, please?
Wylie (11:19):
Pyra walks with you into the rec room.
Um I'll just I'll tell uhGordon what he else he finds in
the kitchen and then I'll tellyou what you guys find in the
rec room.
Um so as you go through thecupboards, you find some
dehydrated meals.
So um it kind of seems likemaybe they were doing some
dehydrated meals before likewhen they don't have fresh
stuff.
So that's something in there.
Brad (11:39):
He takes them.
Wylie (11:40):
And I assume you look in the fridge in the freezer as
well.
Brad (11:42):
Yep.
Wylie (11:43):
And so in the freezer, you find containers with
mushrooms and octopus tentacles.
Kipo (11:48):
Ooh.
He takes those two and a hand.
Yeah.
Wylie (11:52):
Um, and also you you were eating a lot of that jelly.
Can you give me a constitutionsave?
Kipo (11:58):
That's what I thought.
Brad (12:00):
Okay.
Which one is it?
Check or save.
Wylie (12:07):
Um, save and throw.
Mm-hmm.
Save.
Brad (12:10):
Uh 21.
Wylie (12:11):
Oh, okay.
Um your stomach gurgles alittle bit, and you have like,
you know, like a little bit oflike belching, like heartburn,
indigestion, but that's afterlike three bites, and so you
kind of get the idea like, mm,maybe I shouldn't, you know, eat
this much.
And also you guys were out inthe cold, fresh air for a while.
(12:33):
So um sickness effects that youmay have been feeling are
dissipating.
Oh, so yeah, you're in a youknow keep a sparse coat on.
Mimir (12:41):
Yeah.
Wylie (12:42):
As far as you know, um that you know, this place
doesn't have an arcanium leak.
So and you were out in the coldfor a whole hour bringing
breathing fresh air.
So you're you're start you'reall starting to feel a bit
better on that front.
Um okay, rec room.
Brad (12:55):
Uh Gordon will take the mushroom the fresh mushrooms
though.
Okay.
We'll pack those with him.
Wylie (12:59):
Okay.
Yeah, they're in the freezerand um they're they're in um the
fantasy version of Ziploc bags.
So paper bags.
They're clear though, so youcan see through them.
Um okay, you went into the recroom.
Oh, fine.
Okay.
Um, so it looks like a prettynormal rec room.
(13:20):
Um, it is also chaotic in here,though.
There's like some chairs thatare pushed over.
Um, it's a little messy.
Um, you don't like there's morepink jelly on the floor.
Um but then I have some coolstuff.
Um, because you have a prettygood passive perception.
Mimir (13:40):
Uh I have a 22 passive perception.
Wylie (13:42):
Really good.
Yeah.
So you notice on the wall thatthere are pictures of the staff
as well as a like a bulletinboard for staff communications.
Mimir (13:53):
Oh, that's so smart.
We should do that.
I take notes.
Wylie (13:59):
Here um so I'm gonna pop those up on the screen.
Oh.
And I'll make it a little biggerso we can see it.
Yes, you do you noticeimmediately, as you did, that um
the guy who came to your baseis here in the picture.
And trying to um I could notget a really good image of the
(14:26):
communications board.
Mimir (14:27):
Oh, I was about to say I was reading the notes.
I was trying to zoom in on thenotes.
Wylie (14:30):
Yeah, so I'll tell you what the notes do say.
Um, so there's a section thatsays weather forecast.
Okay.
And for every day it saysnegative 30, which has been your
guys' experience that isnegative 30.
And for anybody who hasn'texperienced negative 30, that's
quite cold.
That's when the hairs in yournose freeze when you're outside,
(14:51):
and you have to have a facemask on, and you'll even get um
all the little ice crystals onyour eyelashes.
It is very cold.
Brad (14:58):
Pro tip never squeeze your nose when you're out there and
your nose hairs have frozen.
They will stab the inside ofyour nose.
It is not fun.
Um yeah.
Take it from someone who's donethat.
Wylie (15:13):
Um so there's the weather forecast, um, there's medical
procedures.
And so under medicalprocedures, you see like they're
kind of like little packetswith information.
Yeah.
So the heading is medicalprocedures, and you have
treatment for frostbite,treatment for burns, treatment
for acid burns, and major woundand wound and limb amputation is
(15:33):
also listed there.
Okay.
Um, so that's just some stuffon there.
Um you see the schedule for thecenter.
Um, and actually I'll I'll sendit to you, but you can see that
it says 6 a.m.
breakfast prep in the kitchen,7 a.m.
Um breakfast served in thekitchen, 8 a.m.
normal duties begin, 12 p.m.
(15:56):
lunch, and then you also see HO V E R as like initials, like H
dot O.
So it spells Hoover.
Mimir (16:05):
Yeah.
Wylie (16:05):
Um and so it says Hoover Crew Quarters and Dog Kennel.
Um 6 p.m.
dinner and daily team meeting,10 p.m.
quiet hours, 12 um PM, so atnight, or I guess it'll be yeah,
12 p.m.
or 12 a.m.
probably to 3 a.m.
Hoover services.
Um and I'm gonna send you thatsent I'll I'll post it, I'll
(16:29):
send it to each of you so youguys can all see that schedule.
Brad (16:32):
It's just got a vacuum out there.
Wylie (16:36):
Um and you know what, I'll send okay, and then there's
also a note under themaintenance heading.
And on it, these arehandwritten notes.
So you can tell that peoplehave kind of like written things
to maintenance, and thenmaintenance might respond.
Um, so like issues that they'rehaving, right?
So um you might considersomething if it's like, hey, the
heater's not working, right, inin the research lab.
(16:59):
Um and so two notes that younotice under maintenance, um,
one says, Hoover digested myboots last night, turn down the
odor setting.
Mimir (17:09):
Okay.
Wylie (17:09):
And then the response to that is use a deodorant and
bathe more.
Mimir (17:14):
Makes sense.
Wylie (17:16):
And um then another one says, Um, my terrarium was
tipped over and the contents aremissing.
Please adjust the Hooversettings.
We cannot have it digestingresearch samples.
And then you also see a notethat says, Stop leaving research
samples in the sleepingquarters.
They belong in the lab dashfacilities.
So I will put all of these inthe chat so you guys can see
(17:38):
them for reference.
Mimir (17:40):
Also, um, since I'm a mastermind rogue, I have a thing
called Master of Intrigue.
Um, and so I I have a uhforgery kit that I can use,
which I've used to uh write uhfor Nar, uh so it's not just me
making all the reports, but I'veyou know, I've seen gnarate.
(18:00):
Um and so I want to memorizethese uh like handwritings and
uh just so if I ever see themagain, I would know who wrote
what.
Wylie (18:10):
Okay.
Mimir (18:10):
Um and things like that.
Wylie (18:11):
You'd recognize them.
Mimir (18:12):
Yeah.
Okay.
Um can I it the picture of thisrobot um thing, does it have
initials on the side that saysHoover?
Wylie (18:23):
Um so you have a robot at your base.
Yes.
Oh, wait, is there one in thepicture six?
Mimir (18:28):
There are I don't know if that's a robot.
I don't know what the likethere's a grandmother um with a
bunch of dudes.
Wylie (18:37):
Um oh, okay, I see which one you're looking at.
Um that's like a excavationtool in the picture.
Um so you guys have a robot atyour base called Mops.
And so that you're thinkingit's probably kind of sounds
like Mops.
Yeah.
You have experienced Mops andthe chaos that Mops brings, and
you're very frustrated by it.
And so to you, this sounds alot like Mops.
(18:58):
So potentially um they havesomething that is similar.
Mimir (19:03):
Okay.
Um, and then this jelly, I'mgonna I'm gonna be like, I knew
there was a reason that webrought you along there, uh Mr.
Ram Shield.
Um do you know what this jellyis?
Do you know what what it whatcan be used for or anything?
There's more in here.
Brad (19:20):
How about I try it one more time?
Just to see.
You don't look so good.
You look I I've just I'm I'mgoing to try one more time just
to see if I can tell what it is.
Okay.
Can I get a perception check onthat?
Wylie (19:34):
Or would there be you could do nature if you wanted
also, but perception perceptionor nature.
Mimir (19:40):
Can I I don't know if I can help him in this?
Wylie (19:43):
Probably not.
No, unless you try it too.
Mimir (19:45):
Okay, I will try it too, and I will I will help him in
this.
Wylie (19:50):
If you well, you can you can do your own check.
Okay.
So if you want to do I I'd letyou do investigation potential.
Mimir (19:57):
Are you sure about that, Dion?
I'm just kidding.
Wylie (20:00):
I'll let you do it.
Brad (20:03):
I've got the unnatural 20.
Mimir (20:05):
I've got a natural 20.
Wylie (20:06):
Oh my goodness.
Okay, so you both eat more.
Mimir (20:10):
Um just so everybody that's listening, Kipo picked up
the dice and looked reallyjealous and then threw it and
rolled a seven.
And rolled a seven.
Cool, cool, cool, cool.
Wylie (20:22):
Poor Alan is not.
Mimir (20:23):
He's asleep, I'm pretty sure.
I'm 90% sure he's asleep.
Wylie (20:28):
Um so you guys taste it.
And um both of you get thatburning sensation in your mouth.
It's very tingly.
Um, and the flavors, as you'rereally focusing and thinking on
it, the flavors, it definitelyhas like a depth and an
earthiness that you weren'texpecting in jelly.
(20:49):
Um, and almost like an umamiflavor, like a like almost a
mushroomy flavor.
Um, but there's also like aweird fishiness to it that was
initially hidden by the spice.
Um, but you're like, that'sthat's a little spice.
Mimir (21:09):
Weird.
There's a spice, yeah.
Um, I I used to be a rascal,and there's a spice 100%.
Um see here.
So it's like fishy, gooey.
Wylie (21:24):
Yeah, weirdly gooey.
I mean weirdly fishy becauseit's a jelly.
Mimir (21:28):
Yeah, I've never had it before though.
Wylie (21:29):
No.
Mimir (21:30):
Even with my nat 20 on it.
Wylie (21:31):
No, you you've like, I have never eaten anything like
this.
Mimir (21:35):
Okay.
I will take a sample and that'sit.
Yeah.
Wylie (21:39):
Okay.
What do you put that sample in?
Mimir (21:41):
Um, I will be like Do you want to just take my bowl from
the floor?
Yeah, can I just pour out yourbowl and you can have it.
I'm I'm full.
Uh oh, actually, I'll just takea jar from the kitchen.
If there's a jar in thekitchen.
Wylie (21:53):
Sure.
Mimir (21:53):
Yeah.
Wylie (21:54):
Yep, you're able to find a mason jar pretty easily.
Um, and I'll say I'll say italso had like a weird metallic
flavor in the smell bloodthough, right?
It's not only blood.
Mimir (22:05):
Oh, okay.
All right.
But it does, okay.
Okay.
Wylie (22:10):
Like it you feel like it has a little it has almost a
more biological.
So you got a nat 20.
Yeah.
So you feel it has more of abiological flavor than a
preservative flavor.
Brad (22:22):
But it it kind of reminds me of blood pudding.
Yeah.
Mimir (22:26):
Okay, so don't eat any more because we might be, it
might be people.
So just be it's people mixedwith something else.
So they may be cannibals here.
So let's just watch.
Do you recognize anybody onthis board?
Brad (22:43):
Uh no.
Oh.
Hold on.
Does Gordon recognize anybodyon the board other than the the
guy that we No, no.
Okay.
Wylie (22:52):
You don't right you don't even have to go there.
Brad (22:55):
I I I I don't see any of my family.
Wylie (22:56):
You know your family pretty well, right?
Yeah.
Yes.
Mimir (22:59):
Okay, I'm just gonna I'm gonna be honest with you.
I don't think your family liveshere.
Brad (23:04):
Just gonna be honest.
No, no, no.
I well, we've gone an hour in adifferent direction.
We we live in the oppositedirection.
Yeah, over the other hills.
Mimir (23:15):
All right.
Dr.
Fizzard, are you awake?
Alan (23:19):
Yeah.
Mimir (23:23):
Sorry.
Kipo (23:25):
Yeah, he's still sitting in the chair in the kitchen.
Just like this, just like hewas in the sled.
Like, just waiting for you guysto tell him what to do.
Or do he's Dr.
Mimir (23:36):
Fizzard, we're gonna have to keep moving here.
There might be somebody killingother people.
He's like rocking himself upout of the chair, and then he
gets up.
Let me help you.
I grab your leg because Ican't.
You're so tall.
Come back.
Wylie (23:48):
Okay, so I assume you're back in the kitchen helping Dr.
Fizzard.
Mimir (23:51):
Yeah.
Well, I think we're gonna justcontinue on eventually to like
number five.
I think the middle of thefacility is kind of where we
want to go.
Wylie (24:01):
Okay.
While you're in the kitchen,you do hear a banging sound.
Mimir (24:04):
From?
Wylie (24:05):
Um you have a really high passive perception.
It's coming from room numbersix.
Mimir (24:10):
All right.
Time to lock and load.
Uh I take out my my uh my uhcrossbow uh and I'll hand you a
short sword because you're notarmed, right?
I have my frying pan.
Oh, you do have your fryingpan?
Um okay.
Uh I'll be like, all right,let's go.
Here we go, guys.
Uh, and we'll walk into numbersix.
Wylie (24:30):
Okay, and Jared goes first.
Mimir (24:31):
Yep, I'm locked in.
I'm I'm the security guard, soI should go first.
Wylie (24:38):
Followed by Gordon, I assume.
Yeah.
Okay.
And uh Pyra helps up Alan andsays, Come come with me.
Come with.
We should stay together.
All right.
So you guys are gonna go intothe next room.
Jared (24:54):
My name is Jared uh Vern Squirrel.
I am a security guard uhlieutenant, um, and I am here to
help.
Wylie (25:03):
Okay.
Um the first thing you noticeis that this is appears to be a
study room.
So not a full-on research lab.
There's desks, there's papers,there's things like that.
Um, there is more pink jelly onthe floor, and the thing that
is banging around.
I will bring that into view.
Kipo (25:22):
It's another mops with a gun.
Wylie (25:28):
It is in fact a robot.
Oh it is very similar to yourmops, but it is slightly
different.
Um, and so this thing isbuzzing around, and you can see
that there's pink jelly on thefloor, but it seems to be
vacuuming that up.
Oh cool.
Um, so do the rest of you enterthe room?
It's all clear.
(25:49):
All clear.
Okay.
So everyone comes into thestudy room.
Mimir (25:55):
And does our Okay, I have two questions for you.
Does our mops speak?
And is it a language in likebinary or something?
Wylie (26:08):
Um, so your mops does communicate, but it's pretty
basic.
Mimir (26:12):
Okay.
Because I speak languages, andif our mops speaks, uh, I would
have picked like binary orsomething because I use that.
But I will try to communicatewith this.
Wylie (26:22):
Okay.
What do you say?
Mimir (26:24):
Um that's a great question.
Um, where are the owners ofthis facility?
Wylie (26:34):
Oh, where are they?
Mimir (26:35):
Yeah, where are the owners of the facility?
Wylie (26:37):
And is anybody around?
Um, and so the robot goes,
H.O.V.E.R (26:42):
I am Hoover.
Handler of offensive vermin andexcessive rubbish.
Amen.
Alan (26:49):
Did that thing just talk?
H.O.V.E.R (26:51):
Yes.
What are your cleaning needs?
Gordon (26:55):
Um hold on a second.
Do you make this jelly that Ikeep seeing?
H.O.V.E.R (27:00):
I am cleaning.
Brad (27:02):
Oh.
So you clean up the jelly.
H.O.V.E.R (27:05):
I am cleaning the excessive rubbish.
Wylie (27:08):
Oh.
Mimir (27:09):
Um, is there other human is around?
Wylie (27:15):
Um, I don't think it would really be able to
communicate that.
Mimir (27:20):
Can you lead us to the other humans?
H.O.V.E.R (27:23):
What are your cleaning needs?
Mimir (27:26):
Uh clean uh towards the humans.
I'm like in frustrated this, butI'm like,
H.O.V.E.R (27:32):
uh my protocol um my protocol indicates to clean room
by room.
My normal hours of service are12 to 3 a.m.
Jared (27:47):
Uh well it's it's not 12 to 3 a.m., so you're kinda
H.O.V.E.R (27:53):
excessive accumulation of rubbish has
activated my cleaning services.
Jared (28:00):
Um can I go up and like see if there's a malfunction to
this robot thing?
Yeah.
I knew oh, actually, I'll belike, Pyra, you're uh you work
with things.
You wanna look at this?
And I'll help her.
Wylie (28:16):
Okay.
Mimir (28:16):
Because she probably has a better bonus than me.
Wylie (28:18):
Sure, yeah.
Let's see what she's got.
Mimir (28:21):
You want to take a look at it.
Wylie (28:23):
Nope.
Mimir (28:23):
Okay.
Cool, cool, cool, cool.
Wylie (28:26):
Yeah, she's gonna do an Arcana check.
Cool.
Mimir (28:29):
And I'll give her the help action so she has an
advantage.
Wylie (28:32):
Cool.
Eighteen and four.
So eighteen plus seven, shedefinitely does well.
Pyra (28:38):
Um as far as I can tell, this thing operated just fine.
It's supposed to clean itclean.
Mimir (28:44):
Great.
There's a lot there.
Um I'm gonna need some helphere.
Wylie (28:52):
Uh and she's like, um the shys, uh,
Pyra (28:56):
perhaps it is maybe a bit full, but it seems like it's not
cleaning up so much.
Jared (29:03):
But should we empty it?
Brad (29:07):
Maybe the sp the jelly's too spicy for it.
Jared (29:11):
It's the spice, I knew it.
Blood spice.
Um Okay.
Uh I'm gonna check the desk andsee if there's any notes that
will be helpful.
Wylie (29:21):
Okay.
Um, your naturalinvestigation's pretty high.
Um I'm gonna say that youpretty easily find a book.
Mimir (29:37):
Oh great.
Love that for me.
Wylie (29:39):
Put that up here.
Mimir (29:43):
Boy.
What is that?
Seems bad.
Wylie (29:48):
Um, I assume you open the book.
Mimir (29:50):
Yeah.
Uh yeah.
Wylie (29:53):
As you open it, it appears to be a research
journal.
So someone like you likes towrite down a lot of things, and
so it Seems like someone hasbeen detailing um their various
insights and and studies asthey've been here in the Arctic.
Mimir (30:08):
I'll go to the very last pages that have been written in
and start from there.
I would love to read the wholebook, uh, but it seems like
we're running low on time outhere because we have to go back
to our sublime.
Wylie (30:20):
Yeah, and you can always take it with you.
Yeah.
And that might be helpful forJava.
Yeah.
Um so the page that you'reseeing is the most recent series
of entries.
Mimir (30:29):
Do uh is this a language I know?
Wylie (30:31):
Um let's see.
Mimir (30:35):
Uh I speak gnomish.
Wylie (30:40):
So um in a couple of it may be a language that's
familiar with to you, but it isa specific type of like
scientific shorthand.
Um so it's kind of like a code.
Mimir (30:53):
I'll I'll show it to you and I'll be like, hey, do you
understand anything like that'sthat's on here?
Does he?
Wylie (31:00):
Um yeah, you can you can give me an investigation check?
Mimir (31:05):
Can I give advantage?
Alan (31:10):
Five.
Wylie (31:11):
I think the pictures are gonna be the most helpful part.
I don't think you know.
The the word the words seem toelude you exactly what they
might be.
You can recognize some reallycommon words, uh, but they kind
of just seem like the words thatyou recognize kind of coincide
with what you're seeing in thepictures for the most part.
Gordon (31:26):
So Yeah, look, it's mushrooms.
Is this a cookbook?
Jared (31:33):
Alright, so I see skeletons, I see artifact
things.
Um is there any oh well okay,mushrooms.
Can I I'll be like, hey, can Ilook at those mushrooms that you
got, those fresh mushrooms?
Sure, but don't eat them.
I won't, I'm not going to.
Uh do they match to the picturein the book?
Yes.
Oh boy, are they glowing?
Wylie (31:54):
And they're not glowing right now.
Mimir (31:56):
Okay.
Wylie (31:57):
Oh, great.
All right, well You you cantell that this researcher
potentially used like gel penswhen he was good on him in his
journal.
So really giving thoseillustrations that extra pop.
So that's why they have areally nice glowing effect
tonight.
Mimir (32:12):
How much uh time do you think we have in this facility
before we have to leave beforethe storm?
Wylie (32:17):
About two hours is what was estimated.
It's an hour to get there,about two hours, hour back.
And storm is roughly five hoursaway, so that should give you a
little bit of a buffer, maybetwo and a half hours, but um not
a ton of time.
And the longer you stay, themore risky it is to put you in a
dangerous situation for comingback.
Mimir (32:35):
We should probably do one more room.
Or if yeah.
Wylie (32:40):
Oh, I would say you guys have time to do the whole base.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Mimir (32:43):
So let's go to number five.
Let's clear this place out alittle bit.
Brad (32:46):
Uh, do you want to split up?
Mimir (32:48):
Yeah, let's split up.
I mean, just be careful, okay?
Uh I'll go with Dr.
Fizzard.
Um, so I can take care of him.
Um Pyra, please take care ofthe chef and make sure he
doesn't eat any more of thejelly, okay?
Wylie (33:06):
Okay.
Um, so you seem to want to gotowards the center before.
Do you want to move towards thecenter room?
Kipo (33:11):
Yeah, I'll go to Mr.
Fizzard.
Yeah, that sounds good.
Yeah.
Wylie (33:14):
And then I'll go to number three.
Gordon and Pyra go to numberthree.
Okay.
Mimir (33:18):
Um I'll take the book and stuff if that wasn't clear.
Wylie (33:21):
Yep, you got the book with you.
Mimir (33:23):
Inventory.
We'll meet up in two.
Yeah.
I think.
Wylie (33:31):
Okay, so Jared and Alan are entering a ICE research lab.
Mimir (33:36):
That's the worst place for you.
Wylie (33:39):
Fortunately, I don't think Alan's taken off his coat.
Yeah, that's true.
So that's good.
And Gordon and Pyra enter thesleeping quarters.
Uh, which ones do you wantdescription on first?
Mimir (33:50):
I go sleeping quarters.
Sure.
Wylie (33:52):
Okay.
Brad (33:52):
What can I see?
Wylie (33:54):
The sleeping quarters.
Um, the beds all look short andwide, which makes sense.
This is a dwarven researchcenter.
But things are chaotic andupturned.
Beds are shoved in the corner,um, stuff is scattered on the
floor.
Um, you do notice in the cornerthere's an overturned
terrarium.
Um, and you can give me aninvestigation check to see, and
(34:15):
you can kind of describe to whatyou're if you're looking at
anything in particular.
Kipo (34:21):
I would re-roll that on your thing.
Yeah.
Wylie (34:24):
Yeah, use your dice tray.
It was cocked.
Brad (34:27):
Good stuff.
Three.
Hold on, hold on.
Let me see.
What would you say?
Investigation.
Wylie (34:32):
Mm-hmm.
Brad (34:32):
Yeah, it's just a three.
Wylie (34:33):
Okay.
Um, and do you describeanything that you're doing and
looking around beyond what Idescribed?
Gordon (34:38):
Uh I would probably be like, hello.
Is anybody in here?
It is Gordon.
Wylie (34:45):
Thinking your family might still.
Brad (34:46):
Yeah, yeah, just curious in my phone.
Jared (34:48):
We already went over that.
Brad (34:50):
Boris, are you in here?
Uncle Boris.
Wylie (34:53):
Uh nobody responds.
Brad (34:55):
No response.
Okay.
Oh.
Um, I would probably go checkout the I guess the terantrium
or whatever it's called.
Terrarium?
Terrarium, yeah.
Wylie (35:05):
Sure.
Brad (35:06):
Um see if there's any, you know, scary things about.
Wylie (35:11):
So you see uh glass terrarium that has been tipped
over on its side.
Um it's the interior is rocky,moist, damp.
Seems like there was a heatlamp that is now detached from
the wall.
It's not um keeping it warm.
Um and oh, in all the rooms,it's colder than you would
(35:33):
expect.
Um so far, it's it's chilly.
Um, seems like maybe the heathas been off for some time.
And so um, you definitelynoticed that in this room as
well.
It's chilly.
Um, but this heat lamp that waswith the terrarium is d
disconnected.
And then um you guys enter theice lamp, and it is very cold in
(35:55):
there.
Um, interestingly, it does notseem to have any of the chaos
that you've seen in the otherrooms.
Um, everything seems prettyorderly, um, pretty normal.
Um, with your passiveperception, you quickly detect
that there's a thermostat on thewall that allows you to control
the temperature of this room.
So it seems like potentiallywhen they've brought in things
from the outside that they wantto keep cold, they keep it cold,
(36:17):
and other times they heat itup.
So it's not exclusively an icelab, but currently it's set to
cold.
In the center of the ice lab isa very large um greenish block
of ice that has been carved downthe center and something like
removed from the center of thisbig ice block.
Um, and if you want toinvestigate it further.
Mimir (36:40):
Hmm.
Um yeah, I'm gonna investigatethis room and uh uh see if
they're like what was in thecenter, if I can tell what it
was.
Do I make investigation?
Wylie (36:56):
Yeah, I want to give me a roll.
Mimir (36:59):
Oh, that's like 24.
Wylie (37:01):
Oh, nice.
Okay.
Um so Alan, as you're walkingin, you happen to step on
something on the floor.
And so um Jared would havefound this pretty quickly.
But I stepped over it.
You stepped over it, you werereally focused on the ice block.
Um, but you just step on umwhat looks like a metal, it it's
(37:23):
it's a knife um that has kindlike it looks like it can be
activated to have a fire blade.
And um as he picks it up offthe floor, Jared, you recognize
that that is a monarch steampunkdragon knife, which is
strangely the name of a realknife.
Well that I found online.
That's it.
And I just thought it was sucha cool name that I thought the
(37:44):
monarch steampunk dragon knifeum would be awesome.
So um, Jared, with yourexperience with daggers and
knives, you recognize thatquickly.
But you were focused on thisice block.
Mimir (37:55):
Yeah.
Wylie (37:55):
So you see this large greenish block of ice, and it
looks about like a humanoidshape has been cut out of the
middle.
And as you get closer, you cantell that something is still
stuck in the middle of this ice.
And as you get really close,um, there's a shoe stuck in this
ice, like a like a boot.
(38:17):
And big is it a boot?
Like a dwarvish-sized boot.
Good, good boot.
Um, and as you get closer, youcan see that there is an ankle
bone sticking out of this boot.
So not only has someone leftbehind their boot, but their
foot.
Is it um cleanly torn off orlike Yeah, it's it's pretty
(38:39):
clean, but it there's actuallyweirdly like burn marks around
it.
Jared (38:44):
Mm-hmm.
Cool, cool, cool.
Uh I won't tell uh the doctorthat um because I don't want him
to panic or anything like that.
I'm gonna be like, all right,um, cool.
We're doing great out here.
Uh everything is fine.
Um great! What'd you findthere, uh Doc?
Alan (39:07):
I found a pretty fancy knife.
Jared (39:12):
Cool.
Can I see that uh for a secondhere?
Kipo (39:15):
Alan, um, he still had his gloves on when he picked it up,
so he just like he's stillkinda stiff from all the layers
that he's wearing.
So he um two hands, like handsit to you like this.
Jared (39:32):
Cool.
Uh the not blade first,remember not blade first.
Um and I will uh look at thisknife.
Wylie (39:41):
Um and Alan insists, cut your body, your buddy, not your
body.
Mimir (39:49):
Cool.
Uh I will put this in like anevidence like pouch in my thing.
Okay.
Wylie (39:55):
Uh-huh.
Mimir (39:55):
And just keep that to the side.
Wylie (39:57):
Do you like wrap it up in anything to protect the blade
or you just stick it in there?
Mimir (40:00):
Uh no, I'll wrap it up.
I'll take care of it.
Wylie (40:02):
Okay.
Mimir (40:03):
Um, I'll have like some cloth or something extra like
scarf.
Wylie (40:06):
I'm gonna make a little pile over here.
So you've collected thejournal, the journal um laser,
and then um I don't have apicture of it, but you've
collected the topperware withthe mushrooms and the tentacles.
Mimir (40:17):
Cool.
Yep, yep, yep, yep.
Okay.
Uh okay.
Um yeah.
Let's go room seven, I think.
I is there there's nothing elsein this room, right?
Yeah.
Cool.
Wylie (40:31):
Yeah.
Unless you had questions aboutanything that you've already
seen.
So we'll move you guys to roomseven.
And then um, Gordon and Pyra,are you guys going anywhere
else?
Brad (40:40):
Yeah, I mean, it just looks like everything's kind of
disarray and something got out,but we'll go to room two.
Wylie (40:47):
Okay, you go to room two.
All right, so Jared and Alan,you enter another research room,
like a an I think that'sanother research lab.
And um Gordon and Pyra, youenter a room that is weirdly
circular.
Um, it there's ice all aroundthe outside.
(41:10):
Like you came through a door,but the walls are made of ice.
Um, and it looks like someonehas dug or blown down, you know,
to the dirt.
Um, and then beyond the dirt,they've tunneled below that.
So Pyra's a good person tobring.
So as you step over, um, it'snot actually blue light that's
coming from it, it's actuallymore of a warm orange light.
(41:32):
Um, and what else is in there?
Um, so there's a ladder thatgoes down this um cavern, down
into, you know, basically thisstraight ground, and you can
feel heat rising up from it.
Pyra (41:45):
And Pyra in particular observes, like, oh, looks like
some pretty good explosives wereused in here.
Very precise to not blow upanything else.
And so she's kind ofinvestigating and fascinated by
this great excavation thatapparently has been done to go
underground.
Wylie (42:06):
Um, and you know what?
Give me a nature check.
Brad (42:14):
Fourteen.
Wylie (42:15):
Fourteen.
Um, you know what?
Mushrooms grow underground.
Okay.
Interesting.
Um, okay, and then you guys.
You guys went to room seven, Ithink.
Okay.
So in this room, um, thewindows are smashed.
So it's really cold.
Even though you you just camefrom a pretty cold room, but the
(42:36):
windows of this one aresmashed.
It's letting in a lot of coldair.
Um, and there is pink jelly onthe floor of this room as well.
Um, but because it's prettycold, it seems to be kind of
frozen.
Um, so it's maybe retainingmore shape.
And so something else thatyou're able to see.
(42:58):
This is just some of the jelly.
Oh.
Mimir (43:02):
Oh no.
Wylie (43:04):
So what what are you what are you observing?
Mimir (43:06):
Um, I just see a bunch of uh just uh like uh squid stuff,
squiddy squid squids.
Um not read it's not moving,right?
Wylie (43:18):
No, it like the jelly's not moving.
Great.
Um and it I mean it's it'spretty frozen in this room
because it's quite cold.
You know, the windows are openand it's negative 30 outside.
So this jelly is frozen intoplace and you can see these
tracks essentially there inthem.
Mimir (43:35):
Okay, so there's tracks in them, not the jelly is that.
Okay.
Oh boy, so that's like a squidmonster or something.
Wylie (43:45):
Um you can also give me an investigation check.
Mimir (43:48):
Yeah, I would love to do that and get some more
information.
Uh do you wanna wanna help meout here?
Kipo (43:55):
Yeah.
He'll look around.
Mimir (43:58):
Oh, did you give me advantage or no?
Wylie (44:03):
You can give him advantage if you want.
Kipo (44:05):
I can give him advantage.
Wylie (44:07):
If you're helping, but you gotta describe how you help.
Kipo (44:09):
Oh well, how am I helping him look around?
Wylie (44:12):
Yep.
Kipo (44:13):
I don't think he is helping him look around.
Oh, he's looking he Alan'slooking around him himself.
Wylie (44:18):
Alan's around in his own investigation.
So what do we get?
Alan (44:22):
I got a 22.
Wylie (44:24):
Oh, nice.
Jared (44:25):
Uh I got an 11.
Wylie (44:28):
Okay.
So you're focused on thisjelly.
Yeah.
You're thinking of all thethings that it could mean.
Excuse me.
Um, Alan finds something thathas rolled into the corner.
You know, he's kind ofdistracted.
And so he finds thisinteresting item.
And for those who can't see it,it sort of looks like a
(44:50):
coaster, maybe.
Mm-hmm.
Um, with some kind of glowingrunes on it.
And so you find that in thecorner.
Kipo (44:57):
Alan uses mage hand to pick it up.
Wylie (45:00):
Oh, smart.
Mm-hmm.
Jared (45:02):
That's where my mage hand went.
Uh no, I'm just kidding.
Kipo (45:05):
So he shows it to uh Jared.
Wylie (45:09):
Okay.
And you what did you get forthat investigation?
It was pretty high.
It was 22.
Um, so you recognize this typeof device, actually.
You don't you're you're notjust wondering what it is.
Um you realize that this islike a recording device.
Oh.
So potentially similar to, youknow, like uh a CD or um, you
(45:32):
know, a a recording, it it wouldbe a storage device that you
would store recordings and data.
Hologram thing.
Potentially.
Kipo (45:39):
Oh, okay.
Well, what uh what I know.
Wylie (45:41):
Um yeah, you would know that um if you put this on the
right kind of drive, it willproject a hologram and present
the information that way.
Jared (45:48):
Okay.
Cool.
All right.
So I have a couple options.
So there's some things thatI've been looking at, uh, and I
have a couple that look at thisthing!
Alan (45:58):
It just floats it right now.
This looks like one of the umthese disc thingies that would
we'd use to to do our logs.
Oh, yep.
Okay, that's great.
Jared (46:11):
Um, how I had a bunch of drawing of squid people and
things like that that I wasgonna show you, but we'll we'll
focus on that.
That seems way more importantthan what I was gonna tell you.
Is there a place uh oh sorry isthere a place to um uh play
that in here?
Wylie (46:32):
Yeah, you guys are familiar with labs, particularly
Alan with such a highinvestigation.
So he observes the the umdrive.
The drive that you wouldnormally set it on top of that
would result in it projectingthe information.
So you can go try to use that.
Mimir (46:44):
So are short uh wave radios working to each other?
Wylie (46:47):
Yes.
Jared (46:48):
Cool.
I'm gonna be like, hey, um Pyraand uh uh Mr.
Mr.
Ramshield, um can you guys meetus uh up in room seven, please?
Uh we got uh recording thatwe're gonna play here.
Um so just let us know.
Uh and I hope you guys arestill alive.
Gordon (47:10):
Sure, sure.
We'll we we will be there soon.
Brad (47:14):
But Gordon's telling himself after we get more
mushrooms.
Wylie (47:17):
After we get more mushrooms.
So does Gordon head to the labor what does he do?
Brad (47:23):
Uh so I would assume he heads down the ladder to go find
more mushrooms.
Wylie (47:27):
Yarn heads down the ladder.
We'll address that later.
Brad (47:30):
Okay, yeah.
I was gonna say he's like,Uncle Boris Uncle Boris.
Really he's just looking formushrooms.
Wylie (47:39):
Pyra's a little more cautious and she says,
Pyra (47:41):
Um, Veit, maybe maybe with the rest of the team.
We don't know how structurallysound this excavation is.
It looks pretty good, butperhaps we go all together.
Mimir (47:53):
Uncle Boris.
Brad (47:57):
Son.
No.
Pyra (47:58):
Does this look like your family's home?
Gordon (48:02):
Uh probably not.
Okay.
Well, you say makes sense.
I will go with you.
Wylie (48:09):
Alright.
Um, which way do you guys go?
You don't know what you justknow how see doors, you don't
know which way they, you know,what's in their different rooms.
Brad (48:19):
See.
I I guess uh You said somethingabout there's light, right, in
this room that we're currentlyin.
Wylie (48:27):
Yeah, there's the there's like glowing coming up from the
cavern.
Brad (48:30):
Coming out from the cavern, okay.
Wylie (48:31):
And it's not like a put it's not a totally black room.
There's windows, so there'slight coming in and stuff.
Brad (48:36):
Yeah, yeah.
Um I feel like it wouldprobably just keep going across.
Okay.
I mean, you know, walk around,but go to one.
Wylie (48:47):
Okay.
So you guys head to one, youguys put the holo coaster on the
disc dry.
Um, you attempt to activate it,but this room is so cold.
And this equipment is notdesigned to function in this
level of cold.
Kipo (49:03):
Okay.
Wylie (49:04):
And Gordon and Pyra, you enter the room.
Mimir (49:08):
I was about to say fireball.
Wylie (49:10):
Just fireball the whole room.
Mimir (49:12):
I'll heat it up real quick.
Wylie (49:13):
That won't damage the equipment.
Um, so fortunately for you, youhave Pyra with you.
You have entered the utilityroom.
Um, and so in this room, thewindows are broken and it is
very cold.
So this room, the lab that theother guys were in, these are
the coldest rooms because theyhave the broken windows.
Um, you can see pink jelly onthe floor that is frozen.
(49:35):
And Pyra observes, um, a
Pyra (49:38):
ah, see, this is our heating system, but it has been
shut down for some reason.
Everything seems functional.
We could perhaps turn it backon.
Brad (49:50):
Okay.
Wylie (49:54):
So she she walkie-talkies.
Brad (49:55):
Gordon's a long for the ride on this one.
He's like more.
Pyra (49:58):
She wonky talkies.
They're on our way to the lab,but we have found the utility
room.
So we're gonna turn the heaton.
Jared (50:04):
Uh one second.
I think the heat is off for areason.
I'm not totally sure what thatreason is, but I think I think
we just be a little carefulhere.
We don't know what's going on.
So um I'd just be cautiousuntil we explore everything.
Pyra (50:21):
Okay, what'd you say, boss?
Wylie (50:23):
Uh so would you move up towards room room four?
Yeah.
Okay, so we go up to room four.
Mimir (50:29):
Nervous about turning on any kind of heat.
It it seems to be cold for areason.
Wylie (50:37):
Um, so you head into room four, which is the dog kennels.
Mimir (50:40):
Okay.
Wylie (50:41):
Um, and you can see that this room is empty.
Kipo (50:43):
Oh dogs.
Wylie (50:44):
The windows are broken, it's very cold.
A hole is dug under the wall ofthe corner of the kennel.
Um That's where Finn got out.
All the dogs are gone.
Um, but some of the kennels areopen, some are closed, and
there's definitely pink jelly inhere as well.
But it was cold, so it's frozenpink jelly.
Um, and that's that's what yousee in this room.
(51:08):
And do you guys want to move onto the lab or uh any questions?
Brad (51:17):
No, I'd probably just head to the next then.
Wylie (51:20):
Okay.
So you guys regroup up in thelab.
Um, you're all together again.
And you guys have tried to playthe holo coaster, but
everything is too cold.
Mimir (51:29):
Yeah, we've been waiting for them.
Um I think we would havestepped into room eight too
while we were waiting.
Okay.
Wylie (51:36):
Um I assume you pocket the holo coaster to take with
you for later.
Kipo (51:40):
Yep.
Wylie (51:41):
And then we head on up to the final room of the base.
Who goes in first?
Mimir (51:45):
Uh, I'll go in first.
Wylie (51:46):
Okay.
Mimir (51:47):
I'm the leader.
Wylie (51:48):
Jared's gonna open.
Mimir (51:49):
I'm the strong and brave one that won't panic if we get
under attack.
Wylie (51:58):
Um, so this is our final research lab um that you see.
And I have an image of what youfind.
Mimir (52:08):
Oh boy.
Wylie (52:09):
This is what the room looks like.
Oh no.
It is complete chaos in here.
Um, there's a combination ofmore fire burns in here, like
you saw in the kitchen.
Um, but then also green liquidand um large green, large burnt
areas surrounded by this greenfoam.
(52:30):
Um, with your highinvestigation, you're pretty
sure this is acid.
Mimir (52:34):
Okay, good.
Nothing poisonous in here.
Wylie (52:37):
Yeah, I mean acid smoke is not good.
Yeah, it's not great, I guess.
And the um windows are smashedopen and it's really cold.
Alan (52:44):
These lab cleanliness standards have just been going
downhill ever since I retired.
Jared (52:50):
You tell them, Doctor.
Um, cool.
Um, is there any notes oranything in this room?
Wylie (52:58):
Um you you do a pretty good job of looking around as
best you can.
Mimir (53:01):
Yeah, I don't want to go in that.
Wylie (53:02):
But there's total chaos.
I mean, the types of notes youfind are pretty basic research
notes.
There's nothing that reallystands out to you as like my
dying wishes.
Mimir (53:11):
Yeah, yeah, that's kind of that's what I was looking
for.
Is like our last experimentmade everything explode.
And a zombie skeleton thingycame out.
Um, cool.
I'll be like, all right,nothing in here.
Uh we'll we'll come back andwe'll I think we just talk to
the group and be like, allright.
Jared (53:30):
So I think all this windows are smashed on purpose.
I don't know what the reasonis, but I also don't want to
heat it up.
Uh we can always play the discat home.
Um, my home, technically,because I live there, but your
guys' uh your guys' researchstation.
Do you guys find anythinginteresting, Mr.
Ramsey?
Gordon (53:50):
Well, we found this uh this circular room with a big
hole exploded in the middle ofit and with some light coming up
out of it, an orange light.
And heat?
And heat.
Pyra (54:03):
Pretty warm, pretty good uh excavation.
Gordon (54:06):
I'm I'm fairly sure that there is mushrooms.
Mimir (54:11):
Okay.
Uh how much time do we haveuntil uh we have to
Alan (54:15):
Did anyone find the bathroom?
Pyra (54:23):
I I think they could just go outside.
Gordon (54:27):
Every body left because there's no bathroom.
Pyra (54:30):
Maybe it's down in the hole.
Oh yeah, let's go down thehole.
Gordon (54:36):
Somebody just blew it up.
Jared (54:39):
That's how they get rid of all the feces.
Wylie (54:42):
Okay, and so I guess you guys will find out what is down
that hole next time on Blundersand Dragons.
Gordon (55:08):
This is Gordon.

Let's pick up where the crewleft off.
Wylie (01:21):
And we have that map brought up in our little service
here.
And I have the rooms are notnumbered in any particular order
other than one, two, and threeare the first doors or would um
presenting to you as you arrive.
Um so it would make sense toeither enter through one, two,
or three, but you guys canchoose which room you want to
(01:41):
enter, and I will uncover themand I will put your little
player characters out there nowso we can move them around too.
Brad (01:49):
Just for the record, um, all of the road snacks are gone.
And Gordon has eaten everysingle one of them.
Except for one macaron that heforced uh is it your character
Alan to eat.
To try and make him see thatmacarons are really good.
Yep.
Instead of him not thinkingthey're great.
(02:11):
So uh so yeah, so yep.
Kipo (02:15):
Okay.
Yep, uh, yep, uh that's uhthat's um that's about the same
as it was the last time I hadit.
Thank you very much.
Brad (02:28):
Gordon is very offended.
Wylie (02:30):
When you get to be this age, everything just tastes like
cardboard.
Mimir (02:34):
Takes out his dentures.
Um there any like tracks oranything in the snow?
Wylie (02:40):
Um yeah.
As you arrive, it looks there'sdefinitely tracks.
I mean, it's a research centerand they've been walking around
outside too, so there's um, youknow, pr a pretty normal amount
of tracks.
How fresh.
Looks like there's definitelysome from today.
Just you know.
Brad (02:57):
Um can uh from looking at the buildings, can Gordon tell
if any of them are the kitchen?
Wylie (03:03):
Um so mainly you can see one, two, and three.
If you want to walk around theentire exterior, um I would let
you, you know, walk around theentire exterior and do a bit of
an investigation check.
And maybe you can determine thevents.
Um but um I don't know if howJared feels about that, if he's
worried about offending thepotential residents.
Mimir (03:24):
I want you to see if you know anybody, and then we can
just get a tour inside.
So why don't you just go in andum knock on the door on number
two, maybe?
Brad (03:35):
Oh I guess that's okay.
Maybe my my my uncle Boris willbe here.
I'll I'll I'll I'll check.
I'll check and see.
I'll just I'll knock on thedoor.
Wylie (03:48):
Okay.
Do you knock on the door ofnumber two?
Brad (03:49):
Yeah.
Wylie (03:50):
Okay.
You go up and you bang on thismetal door and you hear loud
metal banging echo.
You know it's a pretty loudknock, but you don't hear any
movement or anything inside.
Nobody comes to the door.
Brad (04:05):
Okay, I go walk around this time.
Mimir (04:08):
Wait, wait, wait.
You only tried one door.
There's two other doors.
Brad (04:13):
Um Gordon proceeds just to walk, doesn't care anymore.
He's gonna find the kitchen.
Okay.
Mimir (04:18):
Uh yeah, we'll accompany uh accompanying him, I guess.
Um, because I don't want tolike split up.
Um Okay.
Wylie (04:26):
You march around the entire exterior and you you can
roll an investigation check.
You know what you're lookingfor.
Mimir (04:31):
Can I give him the help action as a bonus action?
Sure, yeah.
Just in case.
Using your skills, you're look-you ask them what to look for in
a kitchen, what kind of airvents and about 10.
And so with the help, you getto roll with advantage, so you
can roll again.
Take the highest one.
Twenty! Let's go! Naturaltwenty.
Wylie (04:52):
So you guys just walk to the back.
And you can immediately tellthat number ten is the kitchen.
And just like your base, eachindividual room, you know, each
individual little silo has doorsto the exterior.
So you'll you're able to umcome over and go inside room
(05:13):
ten.
I assume you guys all head inthere.
Mimir (05:15):
Yep.
Wylie (05:16):
Okay.
Yes.
Mimir (05:17):
This is where Gordon pointed us, and he knows
everybody as ever existed,supposedly.
Wylie (05:23):
So this is the kitchen.
And I'm gonna make you guys alittle smaller.
Head on inside.
Okay, and then I'll describeour scene.
Okay, so as you enter room 10,the kitchen, um, you can tell
(05:46):
that scattered on the floor arediced root vegetables.
Um on the stove there is askillet, and there's it there's
fire cooking underneath it.
It's gas stove, and you can seethe flames, and so whatever was
in this skillet is totallyburnt to a crisp.
There are singe and fire marksall around the stove.
(06:09):
Um, give me an investigationcheck.
Mimir (06:12):
All of us?
Wylie (06:13):
Okay.
Brad (06:15):
I got an eleven.
Kipo (06:16):
Eleven?
Eight.
Eight.
Mimir (06:19):
Uh thirteen.
Wylie (06:22):
Thirteen.
Okay.
Um you don't notice it rightaway, but as you're walking,
suddenly your foot kind of slipsout from underneath you, and
you look down and you noticethere's this weird fuchsia jelly
on the floor.
Um, for anybody living inAlaska, it looks like fireweed
jelly.
So it has that same kind ofbright fuchsia pinkish red
(06:45):
color.
Um, and so that's there's thiskind of weird jelly on the
floor.
Um, and if you guys want todescribe how else you're
investigating the kitchen, Imight give you more information.
Brad (06:58):
Um Gordon actually just starts to eat what all was like
burnt and all of the the foodthat's been out.
Um, so he starts to eat it justto taste, you know, from
another chef.
Like how how how well is thisperson cooking, you know?
Wylie (07:15):
And so um so you taste the the different raw vegetables
that are on the floor and startto see how fresh his uh his
produce guy is.
Like does the produce guy getit in quickly or you can tell
that they're I mean they're rootvegetables, so it's kind of
hard to detect some freshness,but um you do realize, oh,
there's like some freshmushrooms in here.
(07:36):
Um and you I assume you go uponto the skillet that's on the
stove.
Brad (07:42):
Right.
I I examine well, I I eatwhat's in there as well as
examine how well is he takencare of his cast iron skillet.
Wylie (07:50):
Um so you can tell that skillet there's not actually any
food in there.
And even though it's quiteburnt, the food that was maybe
in there was not burnt into thatpan.
So it's just the oil that wason the pan um that has burned.
Um so there's vegetablesscattered everywhere, and
there's this burnt skilletwithout actually any food in it.
Brad (08:11):
Uh also Gordon goes up to the uh the jelly.
Uh is are there any crackers oranything around?
Wylie (08:19):
Um, no crackers.
Brad (08:20):
No crackers.
Uh then he's gonna take afinger and just taste the jelly.
Wylie (08:24):
Okay.
Okay.
Brad (08:25):
Yeah.
Wylie (08:25):
Um give me a perception check to see if you figure out
what this is saving through.
Mimir (08:31):
I thought that's what it was going to be.
I was like, he's dead.
Wylie (08:34):
It's a two no um this jelly has really exciting
flavors.
You did not expect that.
Um it honestly like it's aspice.
It kind of sort of like hothoney, like it actually burns
your mouth.
Um and you think it might be alittle sweet, but uh mostly a
(08:57):
little bit of burning.
Gordon (08:58):
Okay.
Hey guys, this is quite spicy.
You should you should try someof this jelly.
Jared (09:03):
It's like gonna eat crown jelly there, Mr.
Gordon.
Brad (09:09):
It it's uh a whole new flavor concept here.
Uh it's kind of burning.
Kipo (09:14):
Yeah.
Since we walked in, Alan isstill struggling to get his coat
off.
Jared (09:19):
Don't take off your coat yet.
We're only here for a littlebit there.
Kipo (09:24):
He starts putting it back on.
He starts putting everythingback on.
Mimir (09:32):
You didn't even get the full coat off.
How is it taking me longer toput it back on?
Um, I'm gonna see if there'sany signs of like struggle or
like weapons that have beenused.
I'm gonna have a full securityguard mode, so that's kind of
what I'm looking for.
Wylie (09:46):
Um yeah, like there are definitely knives thrown onto
the floor.
Okay.
Um like you can't really tellif they were actually being used
or they were knocked over.
Um it definitely feels likesomething chaotic happened in
here.
Brad (10:01):
Yeah.
Um while he's looking around,Gordon just gets a bowl and
scoops all of the jelly into itand just proceeds to keep eating
it with his finger.
Uh and and weirdly enjoying theburns.
Mimir (10:20):
Uh I'm gonna go up to door nine.
I don't think there's anythingin here for me.
Um I know Gordon wanted to comein here, um, but yeah, I'm
gonna go up to door nine and seeif what's uh on the other side
of door nine.
Wylie (10:31):
Okay.
So let's unlock door nine.
Okay.
So as you move, and you'regoing to move into that room by
yourself.
Mimir (10:41):
Uh yeah.
I don't like how you said that,but yeah.
Wylie (10:47):
I'm just seeing if anyone else wants me to move their
tokens too.
Brad (10:50):
Um I'll say, I'll I'll say this.
Is there anything else to eatin the kitchen?
Wylie (10:55):
I mean, you haven't checked the entire kitchen.
You're just you're eating thestuff that's out.
Like, did you look in thefridge or the freezer or the
cupboards or anything like that?
Brad (11:02):
Oh, I'm gonna well then yeah.
I'm I'm not walking with him.
I'm checking on the phone.
You're looting in the kitchen.
Uh yeah, I'm looking through.
Actually, I'm checking forspice, most likely.
Alan sits in a chair.
No, he's kind of falls asleep.
Mimir (11:15):
Can I ask Pyra to come with me, please?
Wylie (11:19):
Pyra walks with you into the rec room.
Um I'll just I'll tell uhGordon what he else he finds in
the kitchen and then I'll tellyou what you guys find in the
rec room.
Um so as you go through thecupboards, you find some
dehydrated meals.
So um it kind of seems likemaybe they were doing some
dehydrated meals before likewhen they don't have fresh
stuff.
So that's something in there.
Brad (11:39):
He takes them.
Wylie (11:40):
And I assume you look in the fridge in the freezer as
well.
Brad (11:42):
Yep.
Wylie (11:43):
And so in the freezer, you find containers with
mushrooms and octopus tentacles.
Kipo (11:48):
Ooh.
He takes those two and a hand.
Yeah.
Wylie (11:52):
Um, and also you you were eating a lot of that jelly.
Can you give me a constitutionsave?
Kipo (11:58):
That's what I thought.
Brad (12:00):
Okay.
Which one is it?
Check or save.
Wylie (12:07):
Um, save and throw.
Mm-hmm.
Save.
Brad (12:10):
Uh 21.
Wylie (12:11):
Oh, okay.
Um your stomach gurgles alittle bit, and you have like,
you know, like a little bit oflike belching, like heartburn,
indigestion, but that's afterlike three bites, and so you
kind of get the idea like, mm,maybe I shouldn't, you know, eat
this much.
And also you guys were out inthe cold, fresh air for a while.
(12:33):
So um sickness effects that youmay have been feeling are
dissipating.
Oh, so yeah, you're in a youknow keep a sparse coat on.
Mimir (12:41):
Yeah.
Wylie (12:42):
As far as you know, um that you know, this place
doesn't have an arcanium leak.
So and you were out in the coldfor a whole hour bringing
breathing fresh air.
So you're you're start you'reall starting to feel a bit
better on that front.
Um okay, rec room.
Brad (12:55):
Uh Gordon will take the mushroom the fresh mushrooms
though.
Okay.
We'll pack those with him.
Wylie (12:59):
Okay.
Yeah, they're in the freezerand um they're they're in um the
fantasy version of Ziploc bags.
So paper bags.
They're clear though, so youcan see through them.
Um okay, you went into the recroom.
Oh, fine.
Okay.
Um, so it looks like a prettynormal rec room.
(13:20):
Um, it is also chaotic in here,though.
There's like some chairs thatare pushed over.
Um, it's a little messy.
Um, you don't like there's morepink jelly on the floor.
Um but then I have some coolstuff.
Um, because you have a prettygood passive perception.
Mimir (13:40):
Uh I have a 22 passive perception.
Wylie (13:42):
Really good.
Yeah.
So you notice on the wall thatthere are pictures of the staff
as well as a like a bulletinboard for staff communications.
Mimir (13:53):
Oh, that's so smart.
We should do that.
I take notes.
Wylie (13:59):
Here um so I'm gonna pop those up on the screen.
Oh.
And I'll make it a little biggerso we can see it.
Yes, you do you noticeimmediately, as you did, that um
the guy who came to your baseis here in the picture.
And trying to um I could notget a really good image of the
(14:26):
communications board.
Mimir (14:27):
Oh, I was about to say I was reading the notes.
I was trying to zoom in on thenotes.
Wylie (14:30):
Yeah, so I'll tell you what the notes do say.
Um, so there's a section thatsays weather forecast.
Okay.
And for every day it saysnegative 30, which has been your
guys' experience that isnegative 30.
And for anybody who hasn'texperienced negative 30, that's
quite cold.
That's when the hairs in yournose freeze when you're outside,
(14:51):
and you have to have a facemask on, and you'll even get um
all the little ice crystals onyour eyelashes.
It is very cold.
Brad (14:58):
Pro tip never squeeze your nose when you're out there and
your nose hairs have frozen.
They will stab the inside ofyour nose.
It is not fun.
Um yeah.
Take it from someone who's donethat.
Wylie (15:13):
Um so there's the weather forecast, um, there's medical
procedures.
And so under medicalprocedures, you see like they're
kind of like little packetswith information.
Yeah.
So the heading is medicalprocedures, and you have
treatment for frostbite,treatment for burns, treatment
for acid burns, and major woundand wound and limb amputation is
(15:33):
also listed there.
Okay.
Um, so that's just some stuffon there.
Um you see the schedule for thecenter.
Um, and actually I'll I'll sendit to you, but you can see that
it says 6 a.m.
breakfast prep in the kitchen,7 a.m.
Um breakfast served in thekitchen, 8 a.m.
normal duties begin, 12 p.m.
(15:56):
lunch, and then you also see HO V E R as like initials, like H
dot O.
So it spells Hoover.
Mimir (16:05):
Yeah.
Wylie (16:05):
Um and so it says Hoover Crew Quarters and Dog Kennel.
Um 6 p.m.
dinner and daily team meeting,10 p.m.
quiet hours, 12 um PM, so atnight, or I guess it'll be yeah,
12 p.m.
or 12 a.m.
probably to 3 a.m.
Hoover services.
Um and I'm gonna send you thatsent I'll I'll post it, I'll
(16:29):
send it to each of you so youguys can all see that schedule.
Brad (16:32):
It's just got a vacuum out there.
Wylie (16:36):
Um and you know what, I'll send okay, and then there's
also a note under themaintenance heading.
And on it, these arehandwritten notes.
So you can tell that peoplehave kind of like written things
to maintenance, and thenmaintenance might respond.
Um, so like issues that they'rehaving, right?
So um you might considersomething if it's like, hey, the
heater's not working, right, inin the research lab.
(16:59):
Um and so two notes that younotice under maintenance, um,
one says, Hoover digested myboots last night, turn down the
odor setting.
Mimir (17:09):
Okay.
Wylie (17:09):
And then the response to that is use a deodorant and
bathe more.
Mimir (17:14):
Makes sense.
Wylie (17:16):
And um then another one says, Um, my terrarium was
tipped over and the contents aremissing.
Please adjust the Hooversettings.
We cannot have it digestingresearch samples.
And then you also see a notethat says, Stop leaving research
samples in the sleepingquarters.
They belong in the lab dashfacilities.
So I will put all of these inthe chat so you guys can see
(17:38):
them for reference.
Mimir (17:40):
Also, um, since I'm a mastermind rogue, I have a thing
called Master of Intrigue.
Um, and so I I have a uhforgery kit that I can use,
which I've used to uh write uhfor Nar, uh so it's not just me
making all the reports, but I'veyou know, I've seen gnarate.
(18:00):
Um and so I want to memorizethese uh like handwritings and
uh just so if I ever see themagain, I would know who wrote
what.
Wylie (18:10):
Okay.
Mimir (18:10):
Um and things like that.
Wylie (18:11):
You'd recognize them.
Mimir (18:12):
Yeah.
Okay.
Um can I it the picture of thisrobot um thing, does it have
initials on the side that saysHoover?
Wylie (18:23):
Um so you have a robot at your base.
Yes.
Oh, wait, is there one in thepicture six?
Mimir (18:28):
There are I don't know if that's a robot.
I don't know what the likethere's a grandmother um with a
bunch of dudes.
Wylie (18:37):
Um oh, okay, I see which one you're looking at.
Um that's like a excavationtool in the picture.
Um so you guys have a robot atyour base called Mops.
And so that you're thinkingit's probably kind of sounds
like Mops.
Yeah.
You have experienced Mops andthe chaos that Mops brings, and
you're very frustrated by it.
And so to you, this sounds alot like Mops.
(18:58):
So potentially um they havesomething that is similar.
Mimir (19:03):
Okay.
Um, and then this jelly, I'mgonna I'm gonna be like, I knew
there was a reason that webrought you along there, uh Mr.
Ram Shield.
Um do you know what this jellyis?
Do you know what what it whatcan be used for or anything?
There's more in here.
Brad (19:20):
How about I try it one more time?
Just to see.
You don't look so good.
You look I I've just I'm I'mgoing to try one more time just
to see if I can tell what it is.
Okay.
Can I get a perception check onthat?
Wylie (19:34):
Or would there be you could do nature if you wanted
also, but perception perceptionor nature.
Mimir (19:40):
Can I I don't know if I can help him in this?
Wylie (19:43):
Probably not.
No, unless you try it too.
Mimir (19:45):
Okay, I will try it too, and I will I will help him in
this.
Wylie (19:50):
If you well, you can you can do your own check.
Okay.
So if you want to do I I'd letyou do investigation potential.
Mimir (19:57):
Are you sure about that, Dion?
I'm just kidding.
Wylie (20:00):
I'll let you do it.
Brad (20:03):
I've got the unnatural 20.
Mimir (20:05):
I've got a natural 20.
Wylie (20:06):
Oh my goodness.
Okay, so you both eat more.
Mimir (20:10):
Um just so everybody that's listening, Kipo picked up
the dice and looked reallyjealous and then threw it and
rolled a seven.
And rolled a seven.
Cool, cool, cool, cool.
Wylie (20:22):
Poor Alan is not.
Mimir (20:23):
He's asleep, I'm pretty sure.
I'm 90% sure he's asleep.
Wylie (20:28):
Um so you guys taste it.
And um both of you get thatburning sensation in your mouth.
It's very tingly.
Um, and the flavors, as you'rereally focusing and thinking on
it, the flavors, it definitelyhas like a depth and an
earthiness that you weren'texpecting in jelly.
(20:49):
Um, and almost like an umamiflavor, like a like almost a
mushroomy flavor.
Um, but there's also like aweird fishiness to it that was
initially hidden by the spice.
Um, but you're like, that'sthat's a little spice.
Mimir (21:09):
Weird.
There's a spice, yeah.
Um, I I used to be a rascal,and there's a spice 100%.
Um see here.
So it's like fishy, gooey.
Wylie (21:24):
Yeah, weirdly gooey.
I mean weirdly fishy becauseit's a jelly.
Mimir (21:28):
Yeah, I've never had it before though.
Wylie (21:29):
No.
Mimir (21:30):
Even with my nat 20 on it.
Wylie (21:31):
No, you you've like, I have never eaten anything like
this.
Mimir (21:35):
Okay.
I will take a sample and that'sit.
Yeah.
Wylie (21:39):
Okay.
What do you put that sample in?
Mimir (21:41):
Um, I will be like Do you want to just take my bowl from
the floor?
Yeah, can I just pour out yourbowl and you can have it.
I'm I'm full.
Uh oh, actually, I'll just takea jar from the kitchen.
If there's a jar in thekitchen.
Wylie (21:53):
Sure.
Mimir (21:53):
Yeah.
Wylie (21:54):
Yep, you're able to find a mason jar pretty easily.
Um, and I'll say I'll say italso had like a weird metallic
flavor in the smell bloodthough, right?
It's not only blood.
Mimir (22:05):
Oh, okay.
All right.
But it does, okay.
Okay.
Wylie (22:10):
Like it you feel like it has a little it has almost a
more biological.
So you got a nat 20.
Yeah.
So you feel it has more of abiological flavor than a
preservative flavor.
Brad (22:22):
But it it kind of reminds me of blood pudding.
Yeah.
Mimir (22:26):
Okay, so don't eat any more because we might be, it
might be people.
So just be it's people mixedwith something else.
So they may be cannibals here.
So let's just watch.
Do you recognize anybody onthis board?
Brad (22:43):
Uh no.
Oh.
Hold on.
Does Gordon recognize anybodyon the board other than the the
guy that we No, no.
Okay.
Wylie (22:52):
You don't right you don't even have to go there.
Brad (22:55):
I I I I don't see any of my family.
Wylie (22:56):
You know your family pretty well, right?
Yeah.
Yes.
Mimir (22:59):
Okay, I'm just gonna I'm gonna be honest with you.
I don't think your family liveshere.
Brad (23:04):
Just gonna be honest.
No, no, no.
I well, we've gone an hour in adifferent direction.
We we live in the oppositedirection.
Yeah, over the other hills.
Mimir (23:15):
All right.
Dr.
Fizzard, are you awake?
Alan (23:19):
Yeah.
Mimir (23:23):
Sorry.
Kipo (23:25):
Yeah, he's still sitting in the chair in the kitchen.
Just like this, just like hewas in the sled.
Like, just waiting for you guysto tell him what to do.
Or do he's Dr.
Mimir (23:36):
Fizzard, we're gonna have to keep moving here.
There might be somebody killingother people.
He's like rocking himself upout of the chair, and then he
gets up.
Let me help you.
I grab your leg because Ican't.
You're so tall.
Come back.
Wylie (23:48):
Okay, so I assume you're back in the kitchen helping Dr.
Fizzard.
Mimir (23:51):
Yeah.
Well, I think we're gonna justcontinue on eventually to like
number five.
I think the middle of thefacility is kind of where we
want to go.
Wylie (24:01):
Okay.
While you're in the kitchen,you do hear a banging sound.
Mimir (24:04):
From?
Wylie (24:05):
Um you have a really high passive perception.
It's coming from room numbersix.
Mimir (24:10):
All right.
Time to lock and load.
Uh I take out my my uh my uhcrossbow uh and I'll hand you a
short sword because you're notarmed, right?
I have my frying pan.
Oh, you do have your fryingpan?
Um okay.
Uh I'll be like, all right,let's go.
Here we go, guys.
Uh, and we'll walk into numbersix.
Wylie (24:30):
Okay, and Jared goes first.
Mimir (24:31):
Yep, I'm locked in.
I'm I'm the security guard, soI should go first.
Wylie (24:38):
Followed by Gordon, I assume.
Yeah.
Okay.
And uh Pyra helps up Alan andsays, Come come with me.
Come with.
We should stay together.
All right.
So you guys are gonna go intothe next room.
Jared (24:54):
My name is Jared uh Vern Squirrel.
I am a security guard uhlieutenant, um, and I am here to
help.
Wylie (25:03):
Okay.
Um the first thing you noticeis that this is appears to be a
study room.
So not a full-on research lab.
There's desks, there's papers,there's things like that.
Um, there is more pink jelly onthe floor, and the thing that
is banging around.
I will bring that into view.
Kipo (25:22):
It's another mops with a gun.
Wylie (25:28):
It is in fact a robot.
Oh it is very similar to yourmops, but it is slightly
different.
Um, and so this thing isbuzzing around, and you can see
that there's pink jelly on thefloor, but it seems to be
vacuuming that up.
Oh cool.
Um, so do the rest of you enterthe room?
It's all clear.
(25:49):
All clear.
Okay.
So everyone comes into thestudy room.
Mimir (25:55):
And does our Okay, I have two questions for you.
Does our mops speak?
And is it a language in likebinary or something?
Wylie (26:08):
Um, so your mops does communicate, but it's pretty
basic.
Mimir (26:12):
Okay.
Because I speak languages, andif our mops speaks, uh, I would
have picked like binary orsomething because I use that.
But I will try to communicatewith this.
Wylie (26:22):
Okay.
What do you say?
Mimir (26:24):
Um that's a great question.
Um, where are the owners ofthis facility?
Wylie (26:34):
Oh, where are they?
Mimir (26:35):
Yeah, where are the owners of the facility?
Wylie (26:37):
And is anybody around?
Um, and so the robot goes,
H.O.V.E.R (26:42):
I am Hoover.
Handler of offensive vermin andexcessive rubbish.
Amen.
Alan (26:49):
Did that thing just talk?
H.O.V.E.R (26:51):
Yes.
What are your cleaning needs?
Gordon (26:55):
Um hold on a second.
Do you make this jelly that Ikeep seeing?
H.O.V.E.R (27:00):
I am cleaning.
Brad (27:02):
Oh.
So you clean up the jelly.
H.O.V.E.R (27:05):
I am cleaning the excessive rubbish.
Wylie (27:08):
Oh.
Mimir (27:09):
Um, is there other human is around?
Wylie (27:15):
Um, I don't think it would really be able to
communicate that.
Mimir (27:20):
Can you lead us to the other humans?
H.O.V.E.R (27:23):
What are your cleaning needs?
Mimir (27:26):
Uh clean uh towards the humans.
I'm like in frustrated this, butI'm like,
H.O.V.E.R (27:32):
uh my protocol um my protocol indicates to clean room
by room.
My normal hours of service are12 to 3 a.m.
Jared (27:47):
Uh well it's it's not 12 to 3 a.m., so you're kinda
H.O.V.E.R (27:53):
excessive accumulation of rubbish has
activated my cleaning services.
Jared (28:00):
Um can I go up and like see if there's a malfunction to
this robot thing?
Yeah.
I knew oh, actually, I'll belike, Pyra, you're uh you work
with things.
You wanna look at this?
And I'll help her.
Wylie (28:16):
Okay.
Mimir (28:16):
Because she probably has a better bonus than me.
Wylie (28:18):
Sure, yeah.
Let's see what she's got.
Mimir (28:21):
You want to take a look at it.
Wylie (28:23):
Nope.
Mimir (28:23):
Okay.
Cool, cool, cool, cool.
Wylie (28:26):
Yeah, she's gonna do an Arcana check.
Cool.
Mimir (28:29):
And I'll give her the help action so she has an
advantage.
Wylie (28:32):
Cool.
Eighteen and four.
So eighteen plus seven, shedefinitely does well.
Pyra (28:38):
Um as far as I can tell, this thing operated just fine.
It's supposed to clean itclean.
Mimir (28:44):
Great.
There's a lot there.
Um I'm gonna need some helphere.
Wylie (28:52):
Uh and she's like, um the shys, uh,
Pyra (28:56):
perhaps it is maybe a bit full, but it seems like it's not
cleaning up so much.
Jared (29:03):
But should we empty it?
Brad (29:07):
Maybe the sp the jelly's too spicy for it.
Jared (29:11):
It's the spice, I knew it.
Blood spice.
Um Okay.
Uh I'm gonna check the desk andsee if there's any notes that
will be helpful.
Wylie (29:21):
Okay.
Um, your naturalinvestigation's pretty high.
Um I'm gonna say that youpretty easily find a book.
Mimir (29:37):
Oh great.
Love that for me.
Wylie (29:39):
Put that up here.
Mimir (29:43):
Boy.
What is that?
Seems bad.
Wylie (29:48):
Um, I assume you open the book.
Mimir (29:50):
Yeah.
Uh yeah.
Wylie (29:53):
As you open it, it appears to be a research
journal.
So someone like you likes towrite down a lot of things, and
so it Seems like someone hasbeen detailing um their various
insights and and studies asthey've been here in the Arctic.
Mimir (30:08):
I'll go to the very last pages that have been written in
and start from there.
I would love to read the wholebook, uh, but it seems like
we're running low on time outhere because we have to go back
to our sublime.
Wylie (30:20):
Yeah, and you can always take it with you.
Yeah.
And that might be helpful forJava.
Yeah.
Um so the page that you'reseeing is the most recent series
of entries.
Mimir (30:29):
Do uh is this a language I know?
Wylie (30:31):
Um let's see.
Mimir (30:35):
Uh I speak gnomish.
Wylie (30:40):
So um in a couple of it may be a language that's
familiar with to you, but it isa specific type of like
scientific shorthand.
Um so it's kind of like a code.
Mimir (30:53):
I'll I'll show it to you and I'll be like, hey, do you
understand anything like that'sthat's on here?
Does he?
Wylie (31:00):
Um yeah, you can you can give me an investigation check?
Mimir (31:05):
Can I give advantage?
Alan (31:10):
Five.
Wylie (31:11):
I think the pictures are gonna be the most helpful part.
I don't think you know.
The the word the words seem toelude you exactly what they
might be.
You can recognize some reallycommon words, uh, but they kind
of just seem like the words thatyou recognize kind of coincide
with what you're seeing in thepictures for the most part.
Gordon (31:26):
So Yeah, look, it's mushrooms.
Is this a cookbook?
Jared (31:33):
Alright, so I see skeletons, I see artifact
things.
Um is there any oh well okay,mushrooms.
Can I I'll be like, hey, can Ilook at those mushrooms that you
got, those fresh mushrooms?
Sure, but don't eat them.
I won't, I'm not going to.
Uh do they match to the picturein the book?
Yes.
Oh boy, are they glowing?
Wylie (31:54):
And they're not glowing right now.
Mimir (31:56):
Okay.
Wylie (31:57):
Oh, great.
All right, well You you cantell that this researcher
potentially used like gel penswhen he was good on him in his
journal.
So really giving thoseillustrations that extra pop.
So that's why they have areally nice glowing effect
tonight.
Mimir (32:12):
How much uh time do you think we have in this facility
before we have to leave beforethe storm?
Wylie (32:17):
About two hours is what was estimated.
It's an hour to get there,about two hours, hour back.
And storm is roughly five hoursaway, so that should give you a
little bit of a buffer, maybetwo and a half hours, but um not
a ton of time.
And the longer you stay, themore risky it is to put you in a
dangerous situation for comingback.
Mimir (32:35):
We should probably do one more room.
Or if yeah.
Wylie (32:40):
Oh, I would say you guys have time to do the whole base.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Mimir (32:43):
So let's go to number five.
Let's clear this place out alittle bit.
Brad (32:46):
Uh, do you want to split up?
Mimir (32:48):
Yeah, let's split up.
I mean, just be careful, okay?
Uh I'll go with Dr.
Fizzard.
Um, so I can take care of him.
Um Pyra, please take care ofthe chef and make sure he
doesn't eat any more of thejelly, okay?
Wylie (33:06):
Okay.
Um, so you seem to want to gotowards the center before.
Do you want to move towards thecenter room?
Kipo (33:11):
Yeah, I'll go to Mr.
Fizzard.
Yeah, that sounds good.
Yeah.
Wylie (33:14):
And then I'll go to number three.
Gordon and Pyra go to numberthree.
Okay.
Mimir (33:18):
Um I'll take the book and stuff if that wasn't clear.
Wylie (33:21):
Yep, you got the book with you.
Mimir (33:23):
Inventory.
We'll meet up in two.
Yeah.
I think.
Wylie (33:31):
Okay, so Jared and Alan are entering a ICE research lab.
Mimir (33:36):
That's the worst place for you.
Wylie (33:39):
Fortunately, I don't think Alan's taken off his coat.
Yeah, that's true.
So that's good.
And Gordon and Pyra enter thesleeping quarters.
Uh, which ones do you wantdescription on first?
Mimir (33:50):
I go sleeping quarters.
Sure.
Wylie (33:52):
Okay.
Brad (33:52):
What can I see?
Wylie (33:54):
The sleeping quarters.
Um, the beds all look short andwide, which makes sense.
This is a dwarven researchcenter.
But things are chaotic andupturned.
Beds are shoved in the corner,um, stuff is scattered on the
floor.
Um, you do notice in the cornerthere's an overturned
terrarium.
Um, and you can give me aninvestigation check to see, and
(34:15):
you can kind of describe to whatyou're if you're looking at
anything in particular.
Kipo (34:21):
I would re-roll that on your thing.
Yeah.
Wylie (34:24):
Yeah, use your dice tray.
It was cocked.
Brad (34:27):
Good stuff.
Three.
Hold on, hold on.
Let me see.
What would you say?
Investigation.
Wylie (34:32):
Mm-hmm.
Brad (34:32):
Yeah, it's just a three.
Wylie (34:33):
Okay.
Um, and do you describeanything that you're doing and
looking around beyond what Idescribed?
Gordon (34:38):
Uh I would probably be like, hello.
Is anybody in here?
It is Gordon.
Wylie (34:45):
Thinking your family might still.
Brad (34:46):
Yeah, yeah, just curious in my phone.
Jared (34:48):
We already went over that.
Brad (34:50):
Boris, are you in here?
Uncle Boris.
Wylie (34:53):
Uh nobody responds.
Brad (34:55):
No response.
Okay.
Oh.
Um, I would probably go checkout the I guess the terantrium
or whatever it's called.
Terrarium?
Terrarium, yeah.
Wylie (35:05):
Sure.
Brad (35:06):
Um see if there's any, you know, scary things about.
Wylie (35:11):
So you see uh glass terrarium that has been tipped
over on its side.
Um it's the interior is rocky,moist, damp.
Seems like there was a heatlamp that is now detached from
the wall.
It's not um keeping it warm.
Um and oh, in all the rooms,it's colder than you would
(35:33):
expect.
Um so far, it's it's chilly.
Um, seems like maybe the heathas been off for some time.
And so um, you definitelynoticed that in this room as
well.
It's chilly.
Um, but this heat lamp that waswith the terrarium is d
disconnected.
And then um you guys enter theice lamp, and it is very cold in
(35:55):
there.
Um, interestingly, it does notseem to have any of the chaos
that you've seen in the otherrooms.
Um, everything seems prettyorderly, um, pretty normal.
Um, with your passiveperception, you quickly detect
that there's a thermostat on thewall that allows you to control
the temperature of this room.
So it seems like potentiallywhen they've brought in things
from the outside that they wantto keep cold, they keep it cold,
(36:17):
and other times they heat itup.
So it's not exclusively an icelab, but currently it's set to
cold.
In the center of the ice lab isa very large um greenish block
of ice that has been carved downthe center and something like
removed from the center of thisbig ice block.
Um, and if you want toinvestigate it further.
Mimir (36:40):
Hmm.
Um yeah, I'm gonna investigatethis room and uh uh see if
they're like what was in thecenter, if I can tell what it
was.
Do I make investigation?
Wylie (36:56):
Yeah, I want to give me a roll.
Mimir (36:59):
Oh, that's like 24.
Wylie (37:01):
Oh, nice.
Okay.
Um so Alan, as you're walkingin, you happen to step on
something on the floor.
And so um Jared would havefound this pretty quickly.
But I stepped over it.
You stepped over it, you werereally focused on the ice block.
Um, but you just step on umwhat looks like a metal, it it's
(37:23):
it's a knife um that has kindlike it looks like it can be
activated to have a fire blade.
And um as he picks it up offthe floor, Jared, you recognize
that that is a monarch steampunkdragon knife, which is
strangely the name of a realknife.
Well that I found online.
That's it.
And I just thought it was sucha cool name that I thought the
(37:44):
monarch steampunk dragon knifeum would be awesome.
So um, Jared, with yourexperience with daggers and
knives, you recognize thatquickly.
But you were focused on thisice block.
Mimir (37:55):
Yeah.
Wylie (37:55):
So you see this large greenish block of ice, and it
looks about like a humanoidshape has been cut out of the
middle.
And as you get closer, you cantell that something is still
stuck in the middle of this ice.
And as you get really close,um, there's a shoe stuck in this
ice, like a like a boot.
(38:17):
And big is it a boot?
Like a dwarvish-sized boot.
Good, good boot.
Um, and as you get closer, youcan see that there is an ankle
bone sticking out of this boot.
So not only has someone leftbehind their boot, but their
foot.
Is it um cleanly torn off orlike Yeah, it's it's pretty
(38:39):
clean, but it there's actuallyweirdly like burn marks around
it.
Jared (38:44):
Mm-hmm.
Cool, cool, cool.
Uh I won't tell uh the doctorthat um because I don't want him
to panic or anything like that.
I'm gonna be like, all right,um, cool.
We're doing great out here.
Uh everything is fine.
Um great! What'd you findthere, uh Doc?
Alan (39:07):
I found a pretty fancy knife.
Jared (39:12):
Cool.
Can I see that uh for a secondhere?
Kipo (39:15):
Alan, um, he still had his gloves on when he picked it up,
so he just like he's stillkinda stiff from all the layers
that he's wearing.
So he um two hands, like handsit to you like this.
Jared (39:32):
Cool.
Uh the not blade first,remember not blade first.
Um and I will uh look at thisknife.
Wylie (39:41):
Um and Alan insists, cut your body, your buddy, not your
body.
Mimir (39:49):
Cool.
Uh I will put this in like anevidence like pouch in my thing.
Okay.
Wylie (39:55):
Uh-huh.
Mimir (39:55):
And just keep that to the side.
Wylie (39:57):
Do you like wrap it up in anything to protect the blade
or you just stick it in there?
Mimir (40:00):
Uh no, I'll wrap it up.
I'll take care of it.
Wylie (40:02):
Okay.
Mimir (40:03):
Um, I'll have like some cloth or something extra like
scarf.
Wylie (40:06):
I'm gonna make a little pile over here.
So you've collected thejournal, the journal um laser,
and then um I don't have apicture of it, but you've
collected the topperware withthe mushrooms and the tentacles.
Mimir (40:17):
Cool.
Yep, yep, yep, yep.
Okay.
Uh okay.
Um yeah.
Let's go room seven, I think.
I is there there's nothing elsein this room, right?
Yeah.
Cool.
Wylie (40:31):
Yeah.
Unless you had questions aboutanything that you've already
seen.
So we'll move you guys to roomseven.
And then um, Gordon and Pyra,are you guys going anywhere
else?
Brad (40:40):
Yeah, I mean, it just looks like everything's kind of
disarray and something got out,but we'll go to room two.
Wylie (40:47):
Okay, you go to room two.
All right, so Jared and Alan,you enter another research room,
like a an I think that'sanother research lab.
And um Gordon and Pyra, youenter a room that is weirdly
circular.
Um, it there's ice all aroundthe outside.
(41:10):
Like you came through a door,but the walls are made of ice.
Um, and it looks like someonehas dug or blown down, you know,
to the dirt.
Um, and then beyond the dirt,they've tunneled below that.
So Pyra's a good person tobring.
So as you step over, um, it'snot actually blue light that's
coming from it, it's actuallymore of a warm orange light.
(41:32):
Um, and what else is in there?
Um, so there's a ladder thatgoes down this um cavern, down
into, you know, basically thisstraight ground, and you can
feel heat rising up from it.
Pyra (41:45):
And Pyra in particular observes, like, oh, looks like
some pretty good explosives wereused in here.
Very precise to not blow upanything else.
And so she's kind ofinvestigating and fascinated by
this great excavation thatapparently has been done to go
underground.
Wylie (42:06):
Um, and you know what?
Give me a nature check.
Brad (42:14):
Fourteen.
Wylie (42:15):
Fourteen.
Um, you know what?
Mushrooms grow underground.
Okay.
Interesting.
Um, okay, and then you guys.
You guys went to room seven, Ithink.
Okay.
So in this room, um, thewindows are smashed.
So it's really cold.
Even though you you just camefrom a pretty cold room, but the
(42:36):
windows of this one aresmashed.
It's letting in a lot of coldair.
Um, and there is pink jelly onthe floor of this room as well.
Um, but because it's prettycold, it seems to be kind of
frozen.
Um, so it's maybe retainingmore shape.
And so something else thatyou're able to see.
(42:58):
This is just some of the jelly.
Oh.
Mimir (43:02):
Oh no.
Wylie (43:04):
So what what are you what are you observing?
Mimir (43:06):
Um, I just see a bunch of uh just uh like uh squid stuff,
squiddy squid squids.
Um not read it's not moving,right?
Wylie (43:18):
No, it like the jelly's not moving.
Great.
Um and it I mean it's it'spretty frozen in this room
because it's quite cold.
You know, the windows are openand it's negative 30 outside.
So this jelly is frozen intoplace and you can see these
tracks essentially there inthem.
Mimir (43:35):
Okay, so there's tracks in them, not the jelly is that.
Okay.
Oh boy, so that's like a squidmonster or something.
Wylie (43:45):
Um you can also give me an investigation check.
Mimir (43:48):
Yeah, I would love to do that and get some more
information.
Uh do you wanna wanna help meout here?
Kipo (43:55):
Yeah.
He'll look around.
Mimir (43:58):
Oh, did you give me advantage or no?
Wylie (44:03):
You can give him advantage if you want.
Kipo (44:05):
I can give him advantage.
Wylie (44:07):
If you're helping, but you gotta describe how you help.
Kipo (44:09):
Oh well, how am I helping him look around?
Wylie (44:12):
Yep.
Kipo (44:13):
I don't think he is helping him look around.
Oh, he's looking he Alan'slooking around him himself.
Wylie (44:18):
Alan's around in his own investigation.
So what do we get?
Alan (44:22):
I got a 22.
Wylie (44:24):
Oh, nice.
Jared (44:25):
Uh I got an 11.
Wylie (44:28):
Okay.
So you're focused on thisjelly.
Yeah.
You're thinking of all thethings that it could mean.
Excuse me.
Um, Alan finds something thathas rolled into the corner.
You know, he's kind ofdistracted.
And so he finds thisinteresting item.
And for those who can't see it,it sort of looks like a
(44:50):
coaster, maybe.
Mm-hmm.
Um, with some kind of glowingrunes on it.
And so you find that in thecorner.
Kipo (44:57):
Alan uses mage hand to pick it up.
Wylie (45:00):
Oh, smart.
Mm-hmm.
Jared (45:02):
That's where my mage hand went.
Uh no, I'm just kidding.
Kipo (45:05):
So he shows it to uh Jared.
Wylie (45:09):
Okay.
And you what did you get forthat investigation?
It was pretty high.
It was 22.
Um, so you recognize this typeof device, actually.
You don't you're you're notjust wondering what it is.
Um you realize that this islike a recording device.
Oh.
So potentially similar to, youknow, like uh a CD or um, you
(45:32):
know, a a recording, it it wouldbe a storage device that you
would store recordings and data.
Hologram thing.
Potentially.
Kipo (45:39):
Oh, okay.
Well, what uh what I know.
Wylie (45:41):
Um yeah, you would know that um if you put this on the
right kind of drive, it willproject a hologram and present
the information that way.
Jared (45:48):
Okay.
Cool.
All right.
So I have a couple options.
So there's some things thatI've been looking at, uh, and I
have a couple that look at thisthing!
Alan (45:58):
It just floats it right now.
This looks like one of the umthese disc thingies that would
we'd use to to do our logs.
Oh, yep.
Okay, that's great.
Jared (46:11):
Um, how I had a bunch of drawing of squid people and
things like that that I wasgonna show you, but we'll we'll
focus on that.
That seems way more importantthan what I was gonna tell you.
Is there a place uh oh sorry isthere a place to um uh play
that in here?
Wylie (46:32):
Yeah, you guys are familiar with labs, particularly
Alan with such a highinvestigation.
So he observes the the umdrive.
The drive that you wouldnormally set it on top of that
would result in it projectingthe information.
So you can go try to use that.
Mimir (46:44):
So are short uh wave radios working to each other?
Wylie (46:47):
Yes.
Jared (46:48):
Cool.
I'm gonna be like, hey, um Pyraand uh uh Mr.
Mr.
Ramshield, um can you guys meetus uh up in room seven, please?
Uh we got uh recording thatwe're gonna play here.
Um so just let us know.
Uh and I hope you guys arestill alive.
Gordon (47:10):
Sure, sure.
We'll we we will be there soon.
Brad (47:14):
But Gordon's telling himself after we get more
mushrooms.
Wylie (47:17):
After we get more mushrooms.
So does Gordon head to the labor what does he do?
Brad (47:23):
Uh so I would assume he heads down the ladder to go find
more mushrooms.
Wylie (47:27):
Yarn heads down the ladder.
We'll address that later.
Brad (47:30):
Okay, yeah.
I was gonna say he's like,Uncle Boris Uncle Boris.
Really he's just looking formushrooms.
Wylie (47:39):
Pyra's a little more cautious and she says,
Pyra (47:41):
Um, Veit, maybe maybe with the rest of the team.
We don't know how structurallysound this excavation is.
It looks pretty good, butperhaps we go all together.
Mimir (47:53):
Uncle Boris.
Brad (47:57):
Son.
No.
Pyra (47:58):
Does this look like your family's home?
Gordon (48:02):
Uh probably not.
Okay.
Well, you say makes sense.
I will go with you.
Wylie (48:09):
Alright.
Um, which way do you guys go?
You don't know what you justknow how see doors, you don't
know which way they, you know,what's in their different rooms.
Brad (48:19):
See.
I I guess uh You said somethingabout there's light, right, in
this room that we're currentlyin.
Wylie (48:27):
Yeah, there's the there's like glowing coming up from the
cavern.
Brad (48:30):
Coming out from the cavern, okay.
Wylie (48:31):
And it's not like a put it's not a totally black room.
There's windows, so there'slight coming in and stuff.
Brad (48:36):
Yeah, yeah.
Um I feel like it wouldprobably just keep going across.
Okay.
I mean, you know, walk around,but go to one.
Wylie (48:47):
Okay.
So you guys head to one, youguys put the holo coaster on the
disc dry.
Um, you attempt to activate it,but this room is so cold.
And this equipment is notdesigned to function in this
level of cold.
Kipo (49:03):
Okay.
Wylie (49:04):
And Gordon and Pyra, you enter the room.
Mimir (49:08):
I was about to say fireball.
Wylie (49:10):
Just fireball the whole room.
Mimir (49:12):
I'll heat it up real quick.
Wylie (49:13):
That won't damage the equipment.
Um, so fortunately for you, youhave Pyra with you.
You have entered the utilityroom.
Um, and so in this room, thewindows are broken and it is
very cold.
So this room, the lab that theother guys were in, these are
the coldest rooms because theyhave the broken windows.
Um, you can see pink jelly onthe floor that is frozen.
(49:35):
And Pyra observes, um, a
Pyra (49:38):
ah, see, this is our heating system, but it has been
shut down for some reason.
Everything seems functional.
We could perhaps turn it backon.
Brad (49:50):
Okay.
Wylie (49:54):
So she she walkie-talkies.
Brad (49:55):
Gordon's a long for the ride on this one.
He's like more.
Pyra (49:58):
She wonky talkies.
They're on our way to the lab,but we have found the utility
room.
So we're gonna turn the heaton.
Jared (50:04):
Uh one second.
I think the heat is off for areason.
I'm not totally sure what thatreason is, but I think I think
we just be a little carefulhere.
We don't know what's going on.
So um I'd just be cautiousuntil we explore everything.
Pyra (50:21):
Okay, what'd you say, boss?
Wylie (50:23):
Uh so would you move up towards room room four?
Yeah.
Okay, so we go up to room four.
Mimir (50:29):
Nervous about turning on any kind of heat.
It it seems to be cold for areason.
Wylie (50:37):
Um, so you head into room four, which is the dog kennels.
Mimir (50:40):
Okay.
Wylie (50:41):
Um, and you can see that this room is empty.
Kipo (50:43):
Oh dogs.
Wylie (50:44):
The windows are broken, it's very cold.
A hole is dug under the wall ofthe corner of the kennel.
Um That's where Finn got out.
All the dogs are gone.
Um, but some of the kennels areopen, some are closed, and
there's definitely pink jelly inhere as well.
But it was cold, so it's frozenpink jelly.
Um, and that's that's what yousee in this room.
(51:08):
And do you guys want to move onto the lab or uh any questions?
Brad (51:17):
No, I'd probably just head to the next then.
Wylie (51:20):
Okay.
So you guys regroup up in thelab.
Um, you're all together again.
And you guys have tried to playthe holo coaster, but
everything is too cold.
Mimir (51:29):
Yeah, we've been waiting for them.
Um I think we would havestepped into room eight too
while we were waiting.
Okay.
Wylie (51:36):
Um I assume you pocket the holo coaster to take with
you for later.
Kipo (51:40):
Yep.
Wylie (51:41):
And then we head on up to the final room of the base.
Who goes in first?
Mimir (51:45):
Uh, I'll go in first.
Wylie (51:46):
Okay.
Mimir (51:47):
I'm the leader.
Wylie (51:48):
Jared's gonna open.
Mimir (51:49):
I'm the strong and brave one that won't panic if we get
under attack.
Wylie (51:58):
Um, so this is our final research lab um that you see.
And I have an image of what youfind.
Mimir (52:08):
Oh boy.
Wylie (52:09):
This is what the room looks like.
Oh no.
It is complete chaos in here.
Um, there's a combination ofmore fire burns in here, like
you saw in the kitchen.
Um, but then also green liquidand um large green, large burnt
areas surrounded by this greenfoam.
(52:30):
Um, with your highinvestigation, you're pretty
sure this is acid.
Mimir (52:34):
Okay, good.
Nothing poisonous in here.
Wylie (52:37):
Yeah, I mean acid smoke is not good.
Yeah, it's not great, I guess.
And the um windows are smashedopen and it's really cold.
Alan (52:44):
These lab cleanliness standards have just been going
downhill ever since I retired.
Jared (52:50):
You tell them, Doctor.
Um, cool.
Um, is there any notes oranything in this room?
Wylie (52:58):
Um you you do a pretty good job of looking around as
best you can.
Mimir (53:01):
Yeah, I don't want to go in that.
Wylie (53:02):
But there's total chaos.
I mean, the types of notes youfind are pretty basic research
notes.
There's nothing that reallystands out to you as like my
dying wishes.
Mimir (53:11):
Yeah, yeah, that's kind of that's what I was looking
for.
Is like our last experimentmade everything explode.
And a zombie skeleton thingycame out.
Um, cool.
I'll be like, all right,nothing in here.
Uh we'll we'll come back andwe'll I think we just talk to
the group and be like, allright.
Jared (53:30):
So I think all this windows are smashed on purpose.
I don't know what the reasonis, but I also don't want to
heat it up.
Uh we can always play the discat home.
Um, my home, technically,because I live there, but your
guys' uh your guys' researchstation.
Do you guys find anythinginteresting, Mr.
Ramsey?
Gordon (53:50):
Well, we found this uh this circular room with a big
hole exploded in the middle ofit and with some light coming up
out of it, an orange light.
And heat?
And heat.
Pyra (54:03):
Pretty warm, pretty good uh excavation.
Gordon (54:06):
I'm I'm fairly sure that there is mushrooms.
Mimir (54:11):
Okay.
Uh how much time do we haveuntil uh we have to
Alan (54:15):
Did anyone find the bathroom?
Pyra (54:23):
I I think they could just go outside.
Gordon (54:27):
Every body left because there's no bathroom.
Pyra (54:30):
Maybe it's down in the hole.
Oh yeah, let's go down thehole.
Gordon (54:36):
Somebody just blew it up.
Jared (54:39):
That's how they get rid of all the feces.
Wylie (54:42):
Okay, and so I guess you guys will find out what is down
that hole next time on Blundersand Dragons.
Gordon (55:08):
This is Gordon.
