Callie is hanging out and youdropped off the provisions that
Gundren Rockseeker asked you tobring to Phandalin.

(01:28):

You dropped off what Sildar at Sildar, that's
who I was trying to think of.

Yes, Sildar at the Stonehill Inn, not the Stony
Hill Inn, site of our marriage18 years ago, not in Phandalin.
Yes, 18 years ago.
Yes, not in Van Dalen.

Might have been more fun.

At the Stone Hill Inn.

Yeah, like if we could have had goblins and
Like a goblin band, yeahPlaying.

Would that be like the Chippendales?

At least a goblin DJ A goblin.

DJ would be, I'd be very curious what the music
would sound like.

Fable (Dal) (03:25):
All I remember is that we wanted to anchor house.

enough.

Oh, she's got some shady shit going on.

Oh the hag.

Because you've got to go to the Banshee.
So you talk to Sister G.

Andrew (04:09):
Yeah.

You've got to check in on now.
I can't remember his name.
Sildar, sildar, you've got tocheck in on Sildar because he's
still recovering.

Because we went to see him.

Need us to carry you there umI'll carry you to the atn and we
also met and terrorized harlanwester.

Yeah you harbin harbin, harbin harbin wester.

I'm making him into harlan coven, no matter
what happens yes, harlan covenis the town master of fandale we
terrorized harvin wester yeah,yes, all right.

So what?
Where?
Where would you like to begin?
So you're still in town oh, theother thing.

We yes, one of the things that we did was we
were kind of scoping out the whoare.
Who are the guys that are inthe the MAGA hats the red brands
.
The red brands Make Van Dahlengreat again.

That's right Wow.

Yeah, so we were scoping them out to see kind of
what their frequency of likecoming into the town and when
they were shaking people downand stuff like that.
So I think we found out thatthey they come early in the.
Do they come?
Every week, or was it a monthly?

thing is that what I think it was yeah,
wasn't it like?

mondays or fridays, before people go to the bank or
something like that?

yes, it was definitely early in the week.
I think it was mondays.

I feel like it was mondays.

Yeah, because, because it was after the weekend
, after they were able to getmoney or get there, and then it
was Friday when they weregetting paid, I think.

And it was Monday morning before they could get it
to the bank.

Andrew (06:13):
Yeah.

Yes, indeed.
So I think that catches us upmostly from what's been going on
.
What would you, what would youlike to do next?
There's other places in town.
You can check out what.
What would you like to do?
What's what's your thoughts?

katherine.
Um, I mean, at some point we'regoing to have to.
I don't know if we should scopeout the sleeping.
You got one here too, james, ohum stealing my map, stealing
your map.

Take your food when you're, steal your map, I
give it all back.

I mean I buy you food and you know, but you
know it's just the okay I'mcommitted to the bit, so we
could swing by the sleepinggiant and like scope things out.
What day of the week is it?
Do we know?

Isn't it like Wednesday or something?
I think it was yeah.

I thought it was Wednesday because I think it
was Wednesday.
So like it might.

They're definitely all going to be
hanging at the sleeping giant orup in Tresendor Manor, future
site of the Bble Bumble B&B.
Yeah, yep, so we could go up bythe Sleeping Giant and see what
the story is.

Yeah, I think we should, I totally think we
should do that.

Okay.

Maybe even pick a fight or two.

Yeah, I mean .
And then the other question isdo we want to try to head up to
the Tresendor Manor and not onlysee?
What other question is do wewant to try to head up to the
Tresendio Manor and not only?

see what the situation is, but see what we've
got to clean out the riffraff,the hooligans.

I'm all for seeing if they're at the
Sleeping Giant first.

I think we should start there, yeah.

You know, like if we can take a few out here
and there and we know they'rereally messing with the town
there and we know they're, weknow they're, they're really
messing with the town.
So you know, is it a questionwhether we can be friendly with
them.
Well, I was just gonna say, dowe go in?

I mean, we know they're bad news, so like,
obviously we're not.
I don't think I'm recruitingthese guys for the b&b, but do
we go in and play dumb?
You know, like, oh, we're newto town, we don't know anything,
oh yeah.

Oh, absolutely.

Yeah, that's kind of what I'm thinking right
, like we just kind of go in andhey there buddies.

Yeah, exactly my bros.

So I would say, Are we taking any of the
goblins with us?
This was a, this was a and off.
No, actually it was slightly onair argument that Andrew and I
had about how it wasn't reallyyeah, did we talk about it in
the last episode, where I Iinsisted that the goblins were

(08:56):
going to fight with us yes.
And you said I had to roll forevery individual goblin, and the
only one that we could agree onthat might actually fight with
us willingly was vincent.

yeah and and again.
Remember.

There is the possibility, then, that they
die right, and I don't wantvincent to die, but some of the
others could and then andrew gotvery upset that I was so
callous about goblin.

She's like collateral damage.
What, oh like what?
Oh my god, how little value doyou place On a goblin's life?
You told me.

They don't even want to fight with me, so
how much value should I put ontheir?

lives, I mean we are Going to go to the goblin
castle, so you could get somenew workers there.

Wow, refillable supplies, wow, wow wow, wow so
should we take any just because?
Just because they're npcs, youdon't have to treat them like
they're npcs they don't know,they're npcs jeez I vote for

(10:06):
breaking the fourth wall infront of all of them and
destroying the reality Geez.

Andrew (10:10):
I vote for breaking the fourth wall in front of all of
them and destroying the reality.

But that's just me being really harsh.
Right.
So I experienced some trafficon the way here.
That's the only real.
The aggression will die down.

I know it's New Jersey.
Traffic is like.

Even on a Sunday, my gosh.

And I realized, I realized the trigger for me
was the fact that I was comingto see you guys and we were
playing D&D and that's what,like I could care less.
Other than that, I couldprobably care less, but they
were in between.
Like a guy literally got infront of me and just he slowed
down.
I'm like you were in the fastlane.
Why did you slow down in frontof me?

(10:52):
Like what?
What is this?
I'm just like I'm gonna fightit.

I'm gonna play.
That's right, and you know it'smy mom, that was my mom, so
you've just have you all.
Are you all agreeing on headingto the sleeping giant?

yes, and I think it should just be the
three of us going to thesleeping giant yeah, like if we
want goblins later, if, if we'reheaded to Tresendor Manor, then
we can discuss how many of thegoblins we're willing to
sacrifice.

Right, it automatically goes to yeah.
Okay, let's make a list ofcannon fodder.

Not you, Vincent.
We love you.

You've been very loyal Vincent, who has
miraculous healing powers.

Yes, Vincent , who is miraculously healed
after a long rest.

That's right.
We're going to take care ofthat.
After our last conversation.
I mean, vincent has healed, butgoing forward I think we might.
If someone gets really injured,we might have to.

Because he was pretty badly hurt and then
he was magically fine.

So you're having a conversation with her and now
you're talking about goblineuthanasia.

Did you listen to the last episode?

I'm not talking about goblin euthanasia.
I'm just saying it's going totake more than one long rest for
someone to heal a broken boneor you know other other massive
injuries yeah, because there'sif nothing else, even though
you've been hurt, there's alwaysthe idea that breaking your leg

(12:15):
right is actually a traumaticthing.

Yeah, and it you .
You might be healed.
It might not.
The bone might not be stickingthrough your leg anymore, but
it's still the fact that youexperience the pain and you saw
the bone jutting through yourleg right yeah, that was our
health class topic on fridayreally compound fractures
fascinating.

Tell us more no, ow, uh, yeah, no.
The the the topic of the partof the podcast was about things
that don't necessarily makesense in 5e, that they should be
correcting, and one of them waslike you're miraculously healed
after a long rest right, yeahum, yeah, there was somebody

(13:02):
else that I I'll.

I'll find the link for you guys but there's
somebody else that suggestedthat you know the, if nothing
else, um, you would either bediminished in strength or
dexterity, yeah, or you knowyou'd have you'd be rolling at
disadvantage right for thosethrows because you had been

(13:23):
badly injured or even, or even,you know, revivify or
resurrected or what have youlike?
that's a, that's a legit.
I think that's a legit way tomake it certainly more realistic
in gameplay and, like you know,there are more consequences and
I like right and I take a nap,right, right right.

Well, it's interesting because in the
because there's additional,there's additional rules, so to
say, so to speak, in the DungeonMaster's Guide about injury and
things like that, and they talkabout making a long rest, like
a week Coma.

Okay.

So they say if you, if you want to take a long
rest's going to take a week toto heal, like, to to like.
At least get yourself up and upand going again, sure, um?
So there, there's differentways of I think that's different
ways of playing it, yeah I.

I think that's great.
Only you know, even if justfrom the standpoint of like, if
you're trying to accomplishsomething as a party and you get
seriously injured and you wereon a timetable, you might just
be screwed.

Right, oh, look at this.
I'm looking at Pocket Bar.
There's more stuff in here.

They keep updating the app.

This episode brought to you by Pocket Bar.
Thank you, pocket Bar.
All right, they keep updatingthe app a lot.
This episode brought to you bypocket card.
Thank you, pocket bard.
All right, so we want to headover to the sleeping giant.
Yes, excellent, I, I did giveyou the description of the
sleeping giant.
So a sleeping giant is arun-down tap house.

(15:03):
It's a dirty, dangerouswatering hole at the end of the
main street in Phandalin.
It is frequented by the redbrands.
We know that, and it also goesby the name of the surly orc who

(15:25):
owns and operates the SleepingGiant?
And the Surly Orc is namedGreska, greska.

Greska His name is Greska.

And you are now approached the Sleeping Giant.

Not wake him up, oh sorry.

How do we want to go into this?

Yeah, I mean outside it just looks run down.
Is there anybody outside?
Is it the kind of thing whereit's uh?

there there are.
There are some people walkingon the street.

Andrew (16:11):
Okay.

Most, most good people of fan Dalen avoid the
sleeping giant, so they kind ofwalk, walk past it quickly.
Okay, um, it's your more, yourmore shady characters, you, you

(16:34):
may see someone kind of with acloak hood over their head kind
of making their way, not makingeye contact, not making eye
contact with anyone walking intothe sleeping giant.
But this is not.
They've got tinted windows.

Is it legal, tinted, or is it going to get
pulled over in New Jersey?
I just I'm asking for a friend.

Now I'm looking at Jamesames's car I
couldn't, I couldn't, I couldnot resist yes, no, it is they.

They, they pay off the local uh yeah, they pay
off their pva cards yeah totallyI so my feeling is that we go
in there kind of unsuspecting,looking naive, even though we
know that the red brands arethere, and just go wow, what a
great place you got here,neighbor.
Yeah, and you know, just playit off for being dumb and from

(17:34):
out of town.

Yeah, I think we're going to have to.

So that's how you're approaching this.
So you're all heading into thesleeping giant.

Yes, yes.

Okay, so as you walk in, kind of as this aw
shucks, kind of you know we'renew here, kind of look.

Well, if we're asked, just hey, we just saw a
bar and thought it'd be a greatplace to be.

The Blue Oyster.
Was it the Blue Oyster PoliceAcademy?
I think so.

Andrew (18:15):
I think so.

Why are they playing the tango?
Why are they playing the?

tango.
So as you walk in, it's a verydimly lit, ramshackle tap room.
Several disheveled,surly-looking humans are leaning

(18:44):
up against some ale barrels.
They're all wearing scarletcloaks.
They're all staring at you asyou enter the sleeping giant One
of the ruffians.

A ruffian.

It's a ruffian, a ne'er-do-well, because how often
do they do well?

Ne'er, ne'er .

Ne'er One of them looks at you, Says what do we
have here?
We hear you've been looking forus.

Well, I mean, if we're going to join your uh,
your little uh group, what arewe supposed to do?
I mean, we're supposed to lookfor you, right?

You're trying to convince them that you are
trying to join them.

Yes.

Roll for deception.

Andrew (19:54):
Okay.

Natural 20.
Wow, actually, sorry, that's a22.

The sound of Andrew not expecting that.

Even better.
Even better.

I love this die now.

I now love this die one of the one of the four
ruffians walks right up to you,equium, and says who sent you?

exactly your mom your mother is that your
final answer?

no, it's a bit spider, the spider only.
I will reserve use of it's abit at an appropriate time.

I don't know who you're talking about.

You don't, how can you not?
Is this like mistaken identity,Like are we in the right place?

Andrew (21:20):
Like I don't understand.

Like they said we should, you said we should
find you.
Like I don't understand.
Like they said we should, yousaid we should find you and we
ran into that Clark fella and wehad to off him because he was
talking really badly about, youknow, the rebrands or red brands
or what have you.
You know, like he couldn't getit straight, like he was calling
you all sorts of names and Idon't even know what to do.

(21:41):
But okay, okay.

Well if you want to join us, you'll have to pass
the initiation test.

How are they positioned in the room?
They're all against the thing.
Or he's just talking to me, orhe's up front and they're in the
room.
They're all against the thing.
Or he's just talking to me,he's up front and they're in the
back.

There's one who is standing straight in front of
you, looking you dead in theeyes.
The other three have kind ofstood up and are standing behind
him keeping an eye on these two, these two others that are that

(22:31):
are with you kind of soundslike they're about to do a dance
number should we bust out ourfloor routine?
Oh, maybe we should I think weshould when you're a red brand,
you're a red brand all the way.

Jump out of bed.
Rob my neighbor.

I cast Dissonant Whispers on him.

Remind me what Dissonant Whispers does you
whisper a discordant melody thatonly one creature of your
choice within range can hear,wracking them with terrible pain
.
The target must make a wisdomsaving.
Throw On a failed save it takes3d6 psychic damage.
It must immediately use itsreaction, if available, to move
as far as its speed will allowaway from me.
The creature doesn't move intoobviously dangerous ground such

(23:26):
as fire or pit.
On a successful save, thetarget takes half as much damage
and doesn't have to move away.
A deafened creatureautomatically succeeds on the
save.

So you want to attack this person?

It's verbal so I'm talking to him.
There's only a verbal component.

But I hear it in my head.

You only hear it in your head.

yes, so what do you say?

As the dissonant whisper.

Well, to cast the spell.
Is there something you say tocast the spell?

Yeah, Never going to join your group.
You rebranded hack, so what doI do?

I'm going to run around andranded hack Wow.
So what do I?

what do I run around and smite you Wow?

So what do I have to be?

You have to eat, wisdom saving throw wisdom
saving throw.

But what?
What do I have to?

You have to roll greater than a 12 on a wisdom
saving throw.

Okay, okay, oh, that's bad.
Greater than 12?
Like 12 or higher 12 or higherso I rolled a 12 mm-hmm however,

(25:18):
the red brands have a minus onefor wisdom no point.

So technically fails to save, he takes 14
points of damage.

One second, I'm sorry.
How many points of?

14?

And he's, and he is stricken with fear and runs as
far away from me as he can.
This red brand is racked.
He hears this sound in his head, this awful, awful song.

(26:16):
It is right, Probably one ofthe worst songs he has ever
heard in his entire life.
And he can't escape it.
And so he.
He just turns around, breaksthrough the three red brains

(26:39):
that were standing right behindhim, runs directly into the wall
, nearly knocks himselfunconscious.
But he knocks himself to thefloor and has fallen and is just
holding his head and screamingin pain in pain.

(27:05):
Fine.
The other three red brands drawtheir swords and are prepared
to attack.

I don't think you made this better for
us.

Roll for initiative .

Andrew (27:24):
Man, I'm dead 18.

15.

7.

Hang on.
Dal what was your initiative 18.

Zemros 15.
15.
And you said 7 yep, as he'srunning.

I just go.

I'm not a test taker alright, now we've got 3
of them.

Iquium this was one of your less good ideas.

I really thought , if I killed him in one shot,
that what did you think hisother friends are going to leave
?
No, I would just say that I'mnot a test taker.
And did I pass?
Oh boy.

All right.
So the three, the three redbrands, are like I said.
They all have their theirswords drawn and are are
prepared to attack.
Dal.
You are up first.
So it's really how, how are youthree standing?

(28:46):
Are you side by side?
What's the look?

I think me and Bumble Bumble were right next to
each other and he was kind ofahead of us, right.

Yeah, yeah, you go first.

I have lower initiative.

Dee Dee's turned on the waves, good girl.

She knocked over the bottle that I put over
there toee's turned on the waves.

Good girl, she knocked over the bottle that I
put over there to keep it out ofthe way.
It's gone now.
Oh boy, deedee, all right, soso Equium's up front, dal and
Xanros are behind.
So, dal, you go first.
Which one?
There's three red brandsstanding in front of you, all
side by side with their swordsdrawn.
So do you want to go after one,two or three?

Two.

Okay.

Can you do a deck save for me.

I can.
I'm going to try some new dice.

see how we do Six.
Okay, so it does hit.
I'm going to do Sacred Flame.

Okay, do I have my?

d8?
I don't even know what dice Ido or don't have.
I'm going to do Sacred Flame.
Okay, do I have my D8?
I don't even know what dice Ido or don't have.
I lost them all.

Do you need a?

D8?
No, I think this one's a D8.

I also gave him a bag with a couple of sets
in it.

Andrew (30:15):
Yeah, ooh, out of curiosity.

Is the guy that I did the distant whispers.
Is he prone right now?

Let's say yes, he is prone.

Four damage, four damage.

Yes, alright, excellent, well done.
Is that how you fight?

The music sounds very dangerous.

That's my danger dance Roll intimidation at
disadvantage.
I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

Fight like this Slap fight, slap fight.
Yes.

Xanros, you are up next.

Okay, Now that's when I have to use my open hand
to take it.
So slap fight.

Slap fight.
How close are we to these guys?

There's probably about, I would say, five to ten
feet between you and them.

Okay.
So then I'm going to use myquarterstaff and I'm going to
smack at the guy that Dal justwent for.
I smack, that's what I do withmy quarterstaff.

Smack, smack with the quarterstaff.

Yeah.

Okay, all right, so it's a quarter smack.

I prefer sugar smacks.
But 12 a 12 to hit yeah a 12does hit.

Okay.
Seven damage.

Seven points of damage, the same one that Dal
attacked.
Excellent.

You've really angered red brand number
two.

That's what happens when a rock gnome smacks you
with a quarter stuff.
Yeah, where exactly?

did you hit kneecaps?
Knee you kneecap this one?

it's about the right height for me, so yeah so
you hit, you hit, you hit thisred brand right in the one
kneecap.
So they're, they're, they'rekind of limping.
Now they're like son of a bitch.
That was like because theydidn't see it coming.
It's a strong little gnome.
So they took the spell from Dal.
So they're watching that andthen suddenly you come in at the

(33:01):
other side, whack their kneecapand they're like, they're,
they're, they're, they're, veryupset.
Now Iquium gets his turn toattack.
So there are technically four,but the one is probably about 25
, 30 feet away, okay, prone onthe ground, screaming, writhing

(33:23):
in pain because of the awfulsong you put in his head and
everybody else's head, what'sthat?

And everybody else's head, for that matter too
.
Yes, okay.
So bonus action casting MageArmor, okay, okay, and then.
So tell us what Mage armor doesfor you so mage armor, I can
touch willing creature or myselfwho isn't wearing armor and a

(33:54):
protective mask.
This is a family show of course,um consent yes, they have to
consent if they want armor.
Um, you touch a willingcreature and a protective
magical force surrounds it untilthe spell ends nice the
duration is eight hours.
It is at will as an eldritchinvocation.

(34:14):
Cool, okay.
The target's base ac becomes 13plus its dexterity modifier, so
it will make my armor class gofrom 12 to 14.
Excellent, um, spell ends if,uh, you put on armor or if you
dismiss the spell as an actiongot it.

That's quite a spell.
That's your bone and that's abonus action.
Okay, it's an at will um bonusaction.

Uh so, and then I'm going to fire off.
So the other guy's 25 or 30feet away, right, but there is
somebody in front of us.

There's three in front of you.

There's three in front of us, correct?
Who has ever?
Is it just like one two, threeand one two, three?

No, so they are one , two, three.
The middle one, number two, isthe one that's gotten hit from
both sides, because imagineyou're kind of like in a
triangle pattern, so you're upfront, dal and Zanros are kind
of behind you, on flanking youon either side.

Okay.

Within a couple feet.

And you both hit Number two.
Yes, both hit.

Andrew (35:25):
Number two.
Yes, they both hit number two.

Okay, let's go for.
Let's make it three times acharm.

Okay.

Okay, 16 to hit.
A 16 does hit hit, and thenit's uh, uh what are you doing?

(35:51):
Eldritch blast.

Oh, I apologize, I thought I said that's all right
now you may have um eldritchblast, the good old eldritch
blast on four 12 points.

12 points 12 points.

Yes Of damage.
What type of damage?
It's force, damage Force damage.

Yeah.
So Eldritch Blast.
It's a beam of crackling energy.
It streaks towards the creaturewithin range.
You make a ranged spell attack,which I did, which I rolled 16.
When it hits it, does thetarget, does 1d10, 1d10 plus 4?

(36:31):
Where is that?
The spell creates more than onebeam.
When you reach a higher level,Then you can have two shots at
this level and beyond.

Right Nice James.

Andrew (36:43):
Yes.

How would you like to do this?

Since it's force damage, I would like his body
to get knocked back and besurrounded by this crackling
energy and knocked back,hopefully next to the guy that's
already on the floor Wow.

All right, the floor, wow, all right.
So you, your.
Your bolt of crackling energythrows red brand number two so
far and so hard back that itslams up against the wall next
to the other red brand that isback there and the body, just
the impact just immediatelykills him and the body just

(37:27):
crumples to crumples of theground, crumples to the ground
right next to the other guyburned horrifically and
crackling energy.
Yes, it's just kind of that thatafter like, after glow, just
like almost like lightning, likesparking, like around this body
, and it's just as he sizzlesand and dies, sounds good to me,

(37:47):
excellent.
Well, since you are, since youare right up front, red brand
number three is coming after youand we'll attack with their
short sword.
Does a?

(38:14):
Oh, this won't hit becauseyou're up to a 14 now?
Yes, excellent.
So a 12 does not hit?

Well, well, well, excellent, nice, nicely done.
Thank you Nicely done.
So a 12 does not hit.

Excellent, nice, nicely done.
Thank you, nicely done.
All right, so they won't hitthat one won't hit.
So then the other one will comeafter you as well, okay, and
try to attack with their shortsword, and they will miss as

(38:50):
well.
So so what's happened is thiscrackling beam of energy kind of
went right in between them andand they were, they were Just so
thrown off and so so, sofrightened by that attack, that
they just completely missed youboth with their attacks.

(39:12):
Now that leaves us the one thatis writhing in pain on the
floor.
It's their turn now.
What do they?
Does the spell continue or whathappens?
Can they?
Can they roll on their turn toget out of it?
Like what happens?

It just says that it has to use its reaction,
if available, to move as far asits speed allows away from you.

Is it a concentration spell Like is it?

No, it's instantaneous.
Right, it's only a verbalcomponent um so does it only
last the one one turn.
It doesn't say.
It doesn't say how long itlasts.

Okay.

So, yeah.

So then I think he's going to come up and he's
going to recover Now if he'sprone he can only he has to use
half his movement to half hismovement to get up.
And I think they've got, theyprobably have about 30 feet of
movement, and I said he wasabout 20 to 25 feet away, so you

(40:37):
can get 15 feet, you can get 15feet closer, so he's going to
come, I think.
I think he is just going to,he's going to come that 15 feet,
okay, and that is.
That is all that he is going todo.
He's just, he's just kind ofwriting himself up after, after
hearing that horrific song, thatawful, awful tune, and he, he
kind of stumbles to his feet andhe's, he, he doesn't even have

(41:01):
a sword drawn.
He's kind of reaching for, buthe's just stumbling forward and
kind of just stops after like 50again, about 15 feet away from
you okay and that takes us backto dow, yes, dow I'm gonna do

(41:22):
told the dead.

Can you do a wisdom save?

On which one?
Yeah, one or three, or the onethat's 15 feet away, that
already got attacked by thementally tortured one.
The mentally tortured.
One Excellent.

Yes, can you do a wisdom save?

Mental health awareness everybody.

I'm putting him out of his misery.

That's not how we treat the mentally ill.

It's not a horror crime the first time.

Anyway, okay.
So what are you casting?
Toll the dead.
So you need a wisdom savingthrow.
What do I have to beat?

13.

I have to beat a 13 .
Okay, that will be a 16.
Is there half damage?

Um oh wait, that will be a 16.
Is there half damage?
Or?
Oh wait, yeah, it's wait, no,it's, it's all or nothing.
Yeah, unless I'm reading itwrong, but I think I'm reading
it right.
Let me say I think I'm correct,I think it's, it's all or
nothing.
Oh, that's a blood gun.

Okay, I got it.
I've got your character sheetup here.
You point at one creature youcan see within range and the
sound of a dolorous bell fillsthe air around it for a moment.
The target must succeed on awisdom saving throw or take 1d8
necrotic damage.
The target is missing any ofits hit points.

(43:08):
Instead takes 1d12 necroticdamage.
It doesn't say anything abouthalf the damage, so your spell
will miss.
So they were stumbling aroundand you just kind of just miss
them, miss being able to hitthem with that spell.

(43:28):
Do you have any bonus actionsor anything you want to take?
I?

don't think I do.

Are you sure I mean ?

Okay, yes, james , I mean OK.

Yes, james can.
Can I suggest?

something for people, of course.
So if you use the spell, youcan use it as a bonus action.
Technically, you can stillattack.

Can, can I.

I mean if it's used, if it can be used as a
bonus action.

No, it can't, it can't.

Okay.

I checked.

The only spell you have that's a bonus action is
Shield of Faith.
That's the only one.

Yeah.

Okay, so that's your turn, zanros.

Yes, okay.
So I think I'm going to aim forthe mentally tortured one with
my dart.

This poor guy.
We're just trying to put himout of his misery.

Seriously, you should we all know which way
this is going.

Fifteen A fifteen hits Okie dokie.

Andrew (44:58):
Alright, so that is.

Five damage.

Now, can I take a bonus action?
Hang on, I'm just asking as mynext thing yes, you can, you can
take a bonus action.
So you, you've got this dart,yeah, so how do you want to do
this?

Okay so.
I leap in the air, I do a doubleflip and I wing the dart at the
guy and it hits him.

Andrew (45:34):
Smack in the middle of the head Wow.

Piercing his brain.

As the dart pierces his brain, all you hear
is thank you, you've saved himfirst I heard music and then
this big bell and it's just likelet's just be done with it

(46:10):
alright, so you'd like to take a?

Andrew (46:20):
I was kind of feeling.

I was kind of feeling that when I did
Dissonant Whispers of the guy.
I'm like apologies, okay, yes,dear, I was kind of feeling that
when I did Dissonant.

Whispers of the guy I'm like hmm, apologies, okay,
yes, dear.

Yes, I would like to take a bonus action.

What is your bonus action?

Flurry of blows.
Flurry of blows, yes so.

I'm going to go.
Can you take Flurry of Blows?
Is that a bonus action?
It is one of my bonus actionsFascinating.

Yes, I have Unarmed Strike and Flurry of
Blows as bonus actions.

Excellent, all right Okay.

So I land on my feet after my perfect flips.
Nicely done, I killed that guyand put him out of his misery.
And now I'm going to attack oneof the ones we haven't gone
after yet.

So there's one and three.
Let's go with three, okay.

Flurry of Blows yes, Seven.

So you didn't really stick the landing.
So you mostly landed but it waslike an 8.5.
It was like an 8.5 on thelanding.
So you come at him with a oneunarmed strike and just kind of
misses.
You were just off balance justby a little bit.

(47:42):
But now you're going to come athim with a second unarmed
strike.
And how do you do?

The judge from Kragma gives you a 2.3.

Those goblins they're rough, yeah, they are.
They're harsh judges 18.
Oh, an 18 will definitely hit.

Seven points of damage.

Seven points of damage, all right.
Seven points of damage.
Seven points of damage, allright.
So you do some.
So describe, how is this attackwith the unarmed strife, how do
you?

Okay, well now, I'm really mad because I
missed the first one Right.

So I just like go at him, him, and I pummel the
crap out of him wow, yeah, didyou jump up first, or are you
like punching, punching at yourheight?
I jumped up and I pummeled himin the sternum wow yeah so you
kind of, you kind of knock thewind out of him.

(48:44):
He kind of just takes a halfstep back.

Andrew (48:50):
But you really hurt him.

That was good, nicely done.
Thanks, equium.

So my choices are one or three.

One or three.
Three is the one that Zanrosjust hit.

Oh yeah, let's just go for number three.

Okay.

Eldritch Blast oh Seven.
Actually it's If it's a 17,.

It hits.

Yeah, it's more than a 17.

Plus whatever you're good, yeah, yeah.

It's a 19.
It just definitely hits now.
Okay, plus whatever you're good.
Yeah, yeah, it's a 19.
It just definitely hits now.
Okay, so take one D10.

Andrew (49:35):
Nope.

That was a D100 and rolled 70.

70 points of damage 13 points of damage.
13 points of damage, james.
Yes, how would you like to dothis?

Oh, let's make it a theme.
It's just again cracklingenergy surrounds him and throws
him into the.
Let's throw him into a pile.

Okay, nice, there's just him into a pile, okay,
nice, so there's just a steamingpile of red brands.

Steaming pile of red brands clean up on aisle
two yes, oh my.

So now that you've you've killed, you've killed
three out of the four red brands.
Now.

Have we even touched the other one?

No, the other one is completely untouched, and at
this point these are the redbrands are not overly brave, so
this one tries to escape and runpast you out the door.

(51:00):
Attack of opportunity, please,please, okay.

I'm going to hit him with another, do you?

So, so let me just ask are you sure you want to?
Are you trying to kill him, orwhat are you trying to do?

I would rather take him captive, okay, that
would be my choice, okay.
Or or knock him unconscious,okay, but I'm not going to slap
fight him, because I would healhim rather than you know because
of strength.

So how are you going to attempt to capture him?
Stop him, whatever you?

know because of strength.
So how are you going to attemptto capture him, stop him,
whatever?

I know what I'm going to do because I can do it
at will.
It's a cantrip, but I could.
I've hit most of these.
We've all hit these guys morethan one time, so I feel like I
could hit them with an EldritchBlast.

We probably want to keep this guy around,
though, right, because we wantto try to get information from
him.

I would think yeah, because the only thing I
have that's not well, that's notdestructive, is Mage Hand,
which won't necessarily that'snot destructive.
His mage hand, which won'tnecessarily hold him, it could
obstruct him momentarily.

There are many things you could do with mage
hand to disrupt his exit.

I have command Just saw that.

Just remembered that existed so here's what I'm
going to do.
I'm going to I'm going to castmage hand and try to grab him
with the mage hand to slow himdown at the very minimum, if not
stop him okay, and Dal, do youwant to cast command?

Should I see if the Mage Hand works out.

I would command him as well, yeah.
I would just double up on himeven if Xenorus wants to,
because you're a monk, can youpummel him into subjugation?
Probably, yeah, I would say weshould do that, so we have
somebody to.

All right.
So with the mage hand, I'mtrying to think Give me your
what's the, what's the abilitybehind Mage Hand, what's your
spellcasting ability?

(53:51):
Are you Charisma?

Yeah.

Give me a performance check.

Is there only one door out of here?
Have we seen that, that we camein the only door other than
going to the back?

There may be a door out the back behind the bar
kitchen area.

Come towards us.

He's running right toward you.
Because he's scared shitless.

at this point list at this point, I'm going to
use Mage Hand to hold the doorclosed.

All you do is command to get him to stop.

Alright, so the door.
So he goes running for the door.
He's just like Because it'sabout how many pounds can Mage
Hand hold.

It can't attack or activate magic items.
It can carry 10 pounds.

Can carry 10 pounds , so I feel like more than 10
pounds of force.

Yeah, you know, know, I would say in this, in
this moment, it's only meant toslow him down, right, right,
right, yeah, that's so, that'swhy, yeah, so that's so.

Mage hand is holding the door.
He's, he's fighting againstthis, this magical hand that is
holding the door and he'spulling, trying to get himself
out of the door.
You're going to cast command,so tell me what.
What does command do?

Um, I mean you speak a one word command to a
creature you can see withinrange and they must succeed on a
wisdom saving throw or followthe command on its next turn.

All right, so I have to be what?
A 13.
With my minus one, that becomesa one.
Oh my God.
So what is your command?
What do you say?

Halt.

So he just, he stops he free, yeah, he freezes
in place, it's in the thingyLike.

that's one of the commands.

Got it Halt.
So so this red brand halts, andwhat would you like to do?
What?

would you like to do?
Should we see if he is willing?

to say anything now that he's stuck.
Yeah, I think we should tie himup.

Ooh fun.
Can I pummel him a?

little before we tie him up.
Before you have a chance to tiehim up, one surly orc comes out
and has a dead body of a redbrand, just carrying a dead body

(57:05):
of a red brand, just carrying adead body of a red brand in
either hand, and says to you, Idon't need this kind of shit in
my establishment.
If you're going to mess around,go out in the street and do it.
And the surly orc opens thedoor and just tosses these two

(57:28):
dead bodies out into the streetand starts cleaning up the mess
that you have made in thesleeping giant.

Well, you are a member of the Chamber of
Commerce.
You could say that it's a youknow a path at urban renewal or
something.

I'm going to introduce myself to Gruska.
Okay, all right, hi XanrosPemblebomble.
My family owns the TrescenderManor up the road.
I plan to be turning it into abed and breakfast.
I'd love to talk to you abouthow we could maybe work together

(58:14):
going forward, because I couldprobably send you a fair amount
of business, but you're going tohave to kind of turn a blind
eye to what we're going to do tothe red brands.

But you're going to have to kind of turn a blind
eye to what we're going to do tothe red brands.
I don't think the kind ofpeople that you're going to have
at the B&B want to come intothis establishment.
This is not the kind of placefor average folk.

Are you married to the decor?
Because I'd be happy to hookyou up with some goblins that
I'm aware of who might have someinterior design ideas.

I don't need your fancy ideas in this place.

Oh, I'm not saying they'd be fancy, they're
goblins.

We're fine.
We're fine on our own.

So let's say , me and my friends kill all the
red brands.
What are you going to do?
So let's say, me and my friendskill all the red brands.
What are you going?

to do, considering they're my best customers.

I'm saying I can replace them for you, but
you're going to have to meet mehalfway.
Also, do you serve fresca?
Because if not, that's a missedopportunity.
Come to.

Greska's have a fresca, because if not, that's a
missed opportunity.
Come to Greska's, have a fresca.
Exactly, it's very nice.

Refreshing.

What is this fresca you speak of?

It's a really refreshing citrus soda.
Rhymes with your name, justthought it might be fun.
Greska might like a fresca yeah, listen, greska, I feel like
you and I could be friends rolla persuasion check seven uh, oh

(01:00:08):
get this.

Andrew (DM) (01:00:08):
Uh oh, get this scum out of my establishment now
.

Catherine (Zanros) (01:00:16):
We'll talk again later.
Okay, it's not a no, do youmind?
Can we drag this guy around theback where no one can see us,
because I really don't want todo this in the street.

Andrew (DM) (01:00:28):
It's going to be bad for business.
What I don't see, I don't care.

All right, bud, close your eyes for a
couple of seconds.
We'll take care of thissituation.
Okay, his eyes are closed.
Guys, let's get this guyoutside.

James (Iquium) (01:00:43):
Take him around the back um are we, are we aware
of, like we don't have ascharacters, we do not have this
map correct now as a generalsense of where we are within the

(01:01:04):
town and the road we've comedown and this, yes, is it
reasonable to say?
Looking at the map I can seethat we're kind of the backyard
of Sleeping Giant, is kind ofthe backyard of Barthin's
provisions.

Andrew (01:01:19):
Oh God.

Relatively Like if we go outside, outside
are we going to see Callie like?

right now what you're thinking?
Yeah, that's exactly what I'mthinking there's.

Andrew (DM) (01:01:32):
There's some trees and shrubs there that they kind
of separate the two properties.

So we'll take the red brand out and rebrand
him in the back.
Callie, callie may hear youyeah, that's, that's all I
wanted to know, like, yes,couldrand him in the back,
callie, callie may hear you?
Yeah, that's that's all Iwanted to know.
Like, could she possibly hearme?

Andrew (DM) (01:01:48):
Yes, callie could possibly hear you.

Okay, Um, as we take him around back, uh, let's
ask him a couple questions.
I want to ask him, like how?

Andrew (DM) (01:02:21):
many red brands are there.
He's still very frightened ofyou, but he tells you that
there's at least a dozen at anygiven point.

Andrew (01:02:52):
Now, now there's at least now a dozen.
There were more, but three ofthem are dead, so so it's okay.

Andrew (DM) (01:02:57):
It depends on the day.

How many survived the day how many red
brands there currently are um, Ithink we should basically drag
the other two bodies that greskahas, because there's three
bodies, right?

Andrew (DM) (01:03:12):
there were.
There are three dead bodies andhe's.

Did he throw all of them out, or just two?

Andrew (DM) (01:03:19):
no, no, they're now all three all three greska at
the time had the two.
Greska has since gone back andthrown the other, the third body
, out the okay, out the door.
So they're lying.
Lying on the main street ofPhandalin are three dead red
brands.
Uh, and, there are three of youand there are three of you, so

(01:03:54):
we could take their clothes,disguise ourselves, if their
clothes are appropriately sized.

I was going to say I don't know that there's
anything that's going to be theright size for me.

I mean in their clothing.
What is common among theirclothing?

Andrew (DM) (01:04:13):
So the red brands are human, so they are between
five, seven, six foot in thatrange.
They're wearing leather armorokay, and the these kind of
dirty crimson cloaks, okay,that's, that's the the

(01:04:35):
commonality to them um.

So I'll tell you what I'd like to do.

Andrew (DM) (01:04:44):

And you two can tell me.
I have a little idea and Ithink we could basically take
the three red brands that wekilled, wrap them in their red
cloaks and put bad customerswritten across their thing and
leave them in front of Greska's.

Fable (Dal) (01:05:00):
That's fun, greskas that's fun.

It's gonna piss off greska and I'm trying
to, I'm trying to develop arelationship here.

I'm just trying to dissuade anybody with
thinking that it was us and hemight not say anything well, why
don't we?

Andrew (DM) (01:05:20):
just drag them around the back and hide them so
let me, let me ask you thisquestion why do you not want
anyone to know that it was youthat killed the red brands?
Because they've been so.
Remember, the red brands havebeen tormenting and extorting
the people of this town for forsome time.
So so the likelihood that thetownspeople, the likelihood the

(01:05:42):
townspeople will be happy thatyou killed some of the red
brands, it could do one of twothings.
It could.
It could bring more problems totown, or it could be the
beginning of you clearing outthe red brand.
So it could be interpretedcould be interpreted either way

(01:06:03):
as to how the town mightinterpret this.
So it's going to be up to youhow you want to address that
with, with the town.
What are, what are all of yourthoughts, dal?
What are you thinking?

Fable (Dal) (01:06:24):
like, on the one hand, bad relationship with
fresca, with the frescas right,so so it could.

It could potentially sour the
relationship if you, if youleave them out in front of
grescas, if we put the surveysquare, though, and leave the
one alive and tied up and put alittle to the good people of
Fandale and we're here to fixyour problem.

Andrew (DM) (01:06:58):
I like that.
Are you still questioning thisguy or?

I think we should, oh yeah.

No we full on have to interrogate him.
But, I think we have to takethe bodies, and we have to.
I mean, we can pull around backfor the moment in case any more
of them come.
That's my feeling yeah, so yeah, no, I'm all for hiding them
for the moment while we questionthis guy.
Yeah, God.

Andrew (DM) (01:07:23):
I think that probably sounds like a good idea
.

Seems wise yeah.

Andrew (DM) (01:07:27):
Yeah, okay.
Who's dragging the bodiesBecause?

Fable (Dal) (01:07:34):
clearly it's not Iquium.
I'll drag the bodies.

I can probably take one, if Dal can
take two.

Oh, I can help you with one, but it's no, you
can't.
No, you can't.

Andrew (DM) (01:07:46):
You can't Speak for yourself.
You're a supervisor 50 pounds.

You're a supervising 50 pounds, I could
lift 50 pounds.
I could lift one leg of the guy.

I was going to say this is a human man.

Andrew (01:07:56):
He definitely weighs more than 50 pounds.

Andrew (DM) (01:08:00):
All right, so Dal give me a athletics check.

Fable (Dal) (01:08:16):
Oh boy.

Andrew (DM) (01:08:22):
Twelve, so you are able to successfully drag two
bodies behind the sleeping giantAKA the surly orc, AKA Greska's
frescas.

Andrew (01:08:40):
Yeah, mm-hmm.

Andrew (DM) (01:08:42):
Uh you so, Zanrose, give me a athletics 14 14.
All right, so you as well areable to a little more difficulty
, but but you're able to withwith equiums, small amount of

(01:09:03):
help, I'd like to roll strength,just for fun with equiums, with
equiums encouragement.
So so roll an athletics check.
Okay, you can do it two that'swhat I thought.

Yeah, I rolled a five, it's minus three I got a
two Ickley I mean, I give youcredit for trying, but why?

I think I pulled something.
Yeah, exactly that's going toslow us down.

Andrew (DM) (01:09:32):
Had you rolled a one, you would have pulled
something.

You've caused yourself all of your hit points
of damage in pulling out yourIckley dislocated his shoulder
again.

Andrew (01:09:47):
He dislocated an entire body.

Andrew (DM) (01:09:49):
He was waving.
Oh my god, alright, so you've.
I need to be resurrected afterI sneeze today, so Alright, so
you've successfully dragged thethree bodies behind the sleeping
giant and you've successfullydragged the three bodies behind
the sleeping giant and you'vegot the one guy.
Is he tied up?

Oh yeah, he's tied up.

Andrew (DM) (01:10:12):
So he's tied up and you are about to question him,
so who's got some questions forthis guy?

So who's got the best persuasion or intimidation
?
I have a plus one to persuasionand a minus one to intimidation
, I got plus two to both.
My persuasion's plus two I'lltry to persuade him.
No intimidation, because he'safraid of me.

(01:10:44):
So yes.
Four, damn it.

Andrew (DM) (01:10:58):
So you, as poor as you are with carrying a body,
you're equally as poor asintimidating you.

I would say my attempt to carry the body has
has has lowered my intimidation.

Andrew (DM) (01:11:14):
Yes, absolutely, Absolutely, that's fair, he is,
he, he's looking you over and isjust not intimidated at all by
you.
So you, you are veryunsuccessful in, very
unsuccessful in trying to gatherany information.

dozen or so additional redsprobably 15 and we got rid of
three of them or whatever.

Andrew (01:13:10):
Yes, oh god, two oh.

Andrew (DM) (01:13:19):
So what were you trying to?
What information were youtrying to get out of?

I was gonna run up, kick him and then try to
find out exactly how muchdamage they've done to
Tresendermanner.

Andrew (DM) (01:13:35):
So you don't need intimidation, for I don't think
you need intimidation for thatOkay.

Can I just kick him?

Andrew (DM) (01:13:51):
Do do run athletics check.

Okay, rolling with my other D20,

That's an athletics checkfriend today.
I mean, that's an athletics job, yeah 16.

Andrew (DM) (01:14:09):
Oh, so you are very successful in kicking.

Yeah.

Andrew (DM) (01:14:15):
So he's.
So he's tied up, he's leaningup against the back wall of of
the sleeping giant with his armstied behind his back, so you
kind of just kick him in theside, like kick him in the ribs.

Bumble bumble bread and butter.
Bumble bumble bread and butter.

Bumble bumble bread and butter Nice, that's
even better than 11 benevolentelephants.

This is my bread and butter and you people
are destroying it.
Get the hell out of my house.

Andrew (DM) (01:15:08):
Listen, listen, lady, wow, wow, listen.
The place was in shamblesbefore we even got there.

Yeah, couldn't have made it nicer, huh
.

Andrew (DM) (01:15:24):
It's a hideout, not for long.
What is that supposed to mean?

You're not going to be hiding there for
long.

I cast Mage Hand and hold it over his mouth and
nose, just pinch them together.

Andrew (DM) (01:15:48):
Now he can't breathe.
So now he's struggling andfighting For air.

Oh, you're really tough now, huh.

Can I re-roll intimidation?

After that yes, look at this guy, he's so
tough, can't breathe.
You want to breathe?
Huh, you want some air.
Could have kept my house nicer.
18.

Andrew (01:16:05):
Yes, Look at this guy, he's so tough Can't breathe.

You want to breathe huh.

Andrew (DM) (01:16:07):
You want some air?
Could have kept my house nicer18.
He is.
Are you going to take the handaway?
Oh yeah, no, I'll take the handaway, he gasps and draws in air
and is like what the fuck iswrong with you?

Don't talk to my friend like that or I'll
kick you in the mouth.
Are you trying?

to kill me.
You killed my three friends.
Did you see how they died?

Andrew (DM) (01:16:37):
I saw how they died .
Why do you think I was running?

Okay, are you sure it might not be your day
today?
Clearly, clearly, it's not so.

Andrew (DM) (01:16:50):
What do you want to know?
I just what is it going to takefor you to let me?
Are you going to let me go?
No, no, probably not Then I'mnot going to tell you shit here.

I got a proposition for you now.

If you go and you tell the rest of the red
brands that we've hurt you andyour friends.
That won't be.
That won't be good.
I just want to know where theyare, because I want you all to
stop and I want you to leavethese nice people in this town
alone.
So while I won't let you go now, I'm not saying that you won't
be freed in the future.
You just can never be a redbrand again.
Either that or I will shakeyour hand in the middle of the

(01:17:34):
town square and let you go andmake it look like you cooperated
with myself and the townspeople.

Andrew (DM) (01:17:44):
I'm listening.

Andrew (01:17:50):
I'm listening.

I'm going to ask you a question, you mind.

Andrew (01:17:54):
Equinox.

Yeah, go ahead, listen, you're not going
to be a red brand anymore,because we're going to take care
of the rest of you, so wouldyou have any interest in working
for a bed and breakfast?
Are you handy?
Do you like to build things?
Do you have a secret desire tobe a waiter?

Fable (Dal) (01:18:12):
Would you say you're a DIY-er.

Andrew (DM) (01:18:20):
I get shit done.
I am, listen am?
I'm great at Intimidatingpeople, shaking people down for
money.
I've got my own sword, the nicesword.
Do you need, do you needsecurity?

(01:18:41):
Do you like animals, loveanimals?

Cause we got a couple of wolves, I was
thinking they'd be security, butmaybe we need somebody to
oversee the wolves.
Do you like animals?
Love animals?
Because we got a couple ofwolves, I was thinking they'd be
security, but maybe we needsomebody to oversee the wolves
and you could work as securityand they could back you up.

Andrew (DM) (01:18:58):
Roll for persuasion .

Also, do you like goblins?

Andrew (DM) (01:19:03):
Can't stand goblins .

Well, there's going to be a bunch of
them at the B&B, so if you aregoing to work there, you're
going to have to get along withthem, oh, not 20.

Andrew (DM) (01:19:20):
So that is a 21.
You know this, listen, whatyou're saying sounds really
great.
You know I'm.
I mean, I got in this because Ithought I was going to make
some money, but it hasn't reallyturned out to be that good of a
job.

(01:19:41):
You know, if you're offeringsomething better, then I'm
willing to try.

All right.
So let's say Icrim, do we takehim to town, do we tell people
he's an okay guy, or do we wait?

No, we wait.

My friend is not very trusting.

I think we either tie him up and leave him
in the care of the goblins,since he doesn't like goblins,
it's kind of like you know.

Andrew (DM) (01:20:19):
Those filthy creatures.

Oh wow, dude .
No, you can't, you cannot talklike that.
Those are fellow employees,they are hard workers, they
smell really bad, but they wearlittle bow ties and they're kind
of adorable.

Andrew (DM) (01:20:38):
Doesn't sound like any goblins I've ever known.
Yeah.

I don't really hear any sort of repentance in
his voice.
I know he doesn't really.

Are you just saying you'll come work for me
so that we don't kill you?
Because just keep in mind, ifyou turn on us, we'll just kill
you.

I'd like to loot the other bodies and take all
of his stuff as well.
He said he has a nice sword.

If he's going to be working as security
at the B&B, we probably have tolet him keep his sword.

No, not today.
Take it for a bit.

Iquium.

No.

Iquium's being a dickwium again.

Fable (Dal) (01:21:16):
I just Well, I don't trust him with the sword
right now.
Yeah, I'm thinking having a guythat you have tied up and
letting him have access to asword.

We have to return the sword later.
I'm not saying I wouldn't giveit back, alright.

But considering he might wholesale slaughter
your entire staff because hedoesn't like goblins, that could
be problematic for you.

I'm still on the fence about hiring him.
I haven't run a backgroundcheck yet, but I'm gonna imagine
it's not gonna come back great.

Let's see Part of a gang that's shipped down an
entire town and is keeping itfrom advancing in any sort of
way.
I would say, with my lawfultendencies, he should be a champ
.

You have any references.

Just let me kill him now.
I'm saying this in front of him.

Andrew (DM) (01:22:04):
Oh yeah, we know, listen, I told you I'll work for
you.
I don't want to die Right now?

I don't.

Is that your only motivation, though that
seems like a pretty goodmotivation, not wanting to die.
I'm going to say I'll hire youon a trial basis, but if it
doesn't work out we're gonnakill you.

Andrew (DM) (01:22:36):
Who are the actual bad guys in this town?

You.

I mean, how long have you been shaking down the
town?
I mean, you want to have thediscussion about that.
We should have a discussionabout this.
How?

Andrew (DM) (01:22:48):
long have you been shaking down the town?
I mean, you want to have thediscussion about that.

We can have the discussion about this.
Shaking down a town isdifferent than killing somebody.

Andrew (DM) (01:22:54):
You're talking about.
So you haven't killed anybody.
I haven't killed anybody, youhaven't killed anybody?

No, then what good is your sword?
You don't need it.
I've taken it from you.

Andrew (DM) (01:23:01):
It's intimidation.

Okay, so it's intimidation.
Yeah, okay, so it'sintimidation.

Andrew (DM) (01:23:04):
So you're really.
If I kill somebody, they're notgoing to continue to pay me.
Well, what good?
What good is it?
What good is a dead person?

just terrorize them.
Guys, exactly you're.

Andrew (DM) (01:23:15):
You're the murderers, you just killed three
people inside the bar threepeople.

I watched you do, you want a salary,
Because right now I'm thinkingabout rescinding this offer.

You're not even allowing me plausible
deniability.
I came in.
Your friend said I had to passa test, so I went to put a nasty
little song in his head, so Ithought I would pass the test.
I guess I didn't pass, oh well.
So my thought is you're goingto leave these nice people alone

(01:23:50):
.
Where did you come from?
Did you come from this town?
Where are the rest of the RedBrands?
These are the things that Iwant to know right now.

Andrew (DM) (01:23:59):
Told you.
The rest of the Red Brands areup in Tresendor, the remains of
Tresendor.

Manor.
Start calling it the BumbleBumble B&B, please.
The remains of Tresenderman are.
Start calling it the BumbleBumble B&B, please.

Is there a jail in town?
Do we know that?

Andrew (DM) (01:24:12):
I know where some people are being held prisoner.

Andrew (01:24:15):
You do.

Andrew (DM) (01:24:16):
Mm-hmm.

Hmm, want to tell us.

What sorts of people?

This one's just plain coy.
What sorts of people this one'sjust plain coy.

Andrew (DM) (01:24:30):
What sort of people you ask?

Yes, how did we end up leaving alive the most
annoying one?
I don't know God.
I've already offered toEldritch Blast multiple times.
So I, I, I'm still okay withthat because he broke the law.
He's terrorized towns people.
I kind of like this town that'skind of growing on me I mean, I

(01:24:54):
like the town too.

I'm gonna have to deal with all these
people, but I also made this onean offer of employment and I
figure I probably shouldn'tmurder him like 10 minutes later
I told you, lady, I told youI'm gonna work for you did you
sign the employment agreementand have you read the employee
manual yet?

Andrew (DM) (01:25:14):
okay, obviously not all that's her own.
Reach out to me okay I'mwaiting for my onboarding email.
She didn't even laugh at that.

Andrew (01:25:25):
She's not even paying attention.
She did not laugh.

Andrew (DM) (01:25:28):
She did not laugh.
I heard To my joke theonboarding email.
Yes, the mail is coming.

It'll be there at 11.40 pm.

Apparently the mail is coming by owl,
considering they are the slowestflyers.

So think about that.
Where does this?

leave us.
I don't know.
Here's the thing I do.
I do loot the bodies whilewe're talking to him.
Okay, is there anything?
We find?
No.

Andrew (DM) (01:26:02):
Nothing of note.

Nothing of consequence, guys, can we?

take these capes though the cloaks.
I feel like I could make somecurtains out of these.

Fable (Dal) (01:26:10):
That's a good idea.
I like that.

Yeah, we just have to wash them.
They're gross and what's thisguys?

Yeah, Do we know a name yet?

Andrew (DM) (01:26:21):
You do not know a name of this character.

I ask him his name.
We can assume that he's givenme a name.

I need to know his name for his I-9.

It's the expression that andrew's wearing
.
That really, that really reallybrings it home for me because I
understand, I understand thequestion from being a dm and I
and I look, never let us in alibrary or a bookstore, right,
right, because I learned thehard way, and the hard way was
my players asked me names ofbooks, oh yeah, so of course you

(01:27:17):
know, I had to do things fromjokes that I knew right 40 days
in the saddle by major Aspern.
You know, like stuff, likethose kinds of jokes we've
learned as kids.

Andrew (DM) (01:27:30):
Yeah, so.

I.

Andrew (DM) (01:27:34):
So you ask him his name, he goes.
My name is Theo Theo Pimble,theo Pimble, theo Pimble.

Of the Neverwinter Pimbles.
You've heard of us.
Well, you people aren't thatbad.
Maybe you're the bad seed inthe family, but you know I'm the
black sheep.

If you're from Neverwinter, then why are
you pretending like you've?
Never, heard of the BumbleBumbles.

Andrew (DM) (01:28:04):
Oh, I've heard of you.

Yeah, I bet you have.
I know all about the BumbleBumbles.

Andrew (DM) (01:28:08):
Oh I've heard of you.
Yeah, I bet you have.
I know all about the BumbleBumbles.

Uh-huh.

Do tell.

Andrew (DM) (01:28:17):
Roll a persuasion check.
Oh boy, 14.
14 Bumble Bumbles imaginethemselves as aristocracy.
But just because they've gotsome money doesn't buy them

(01:28:37):
class you're fired, fired, fired, fired, fired.

I'm starting to like you more.
Um, I'm kidding, I do not saythat okay you don't have a job
anymore I mean, I was already, Iwas already a little soured on

the whole like I hate goblins thing.

I'm really curious to who he's got tied up
somewhere.
He knows where prisoners areand I'll tell you what.
Fine.

He doesn't have a job, though we can leave
him alive, but he does not havea job.
Listen, and also I'm going totell everyone that you pooped
your pants.

Andrew (DM) (01:29:24):
That's fair.
Listen if, listen, if you.
If you want help navigating thehideout, I would be willing to
trade a job for helping you getthrough the caverns below

(01:29:50):
Drisender Manor.

So here's what I propose.
I'm all for having him guide usand we take their cloaks.
Same time, I do think we shouldsee, leave the dead bodies in
the in the square with a littleyou're welcome, fandale, and
we're here to help, kind ofthing.

(01:30:20):
And you know maybe that youknow people will go.
Oh well, wait a minute.
We just met those new peopleand you know maybe that you know
people will go.
Oh well, wait a minute.
We just met those new peopleand you know they don't
necessarily have to associate usby name yet, but I think the
visual of them being, you know,dead and hogtied in the middle

(01:30:41):
of the town square is, uh, canbe pretty powerful for the town.
Um, and then we can, you know,like you said, we could take the
, we can take the capes thecloaks.
wear their cloaks anyway, eventhough, size wise, they're all
humans, right yeah?

Andrew (DM) (01:31:03):
Mm-hmm.

Andrew (01:31:04):
Okay.

Hmm, humans, right, yeah, mm-hmm okay.
Hmm, two of you are gonna lookpretty silly in those those
cloaks.
So he gets to wear his cloak, Iget to wear one of the other
cloaks and you two are ourquote-unquote prisoners.
Would you take prisoners totris undera Manor?
Normally, I ask him.

Andrew (DM) (01:31:27):
There's already some there, so what's?
A few more.

Okay, and you got into this for making money,
right.

Andrew (DM) (01:31:39):
Listen, I I tried farm life, just wasn't for me.
I was down.
On my luck, they came by andoffered me a job, and here I am,
okay.

I would absolutely advocate for you
getting a job, number one, ifyou help us, if you help us get
through Tresendor Manor, show usaround.
We get the other people who arecaptured and I'm willing to say
you know we're good.

(01:32:24):
Get you a job for after we'vecleared the manor.

Do you make hiring decisions for my B&B now?
No, no.

I'm saying I would advocate for him.
It's not up for me to give hima job.
That's why I said I would go tobat for him and say hey, zanros
, he's helped us sufficiently,despite the fact that I you fact
that we killed all hisassociates.

I asked for it.

Andrew (DM) (01:32:55):
Alright, so what's the plan from here?

I think we can give him a job on a
contingent basis and take him upto Tresendor with us.
I think it's a good idea foryou and he to keep the cloaks on
.

Andrew (DM) (01:33:20):
Yeah.

Dal and I can go in as faux prisoners.
I know I don't like it either,but unless there's a sewing
machine somewhere in the woodswhere I can hack off part of one
cloak to make it small enoughfor me and then add it to the
other cloak to make that one bigenough for you, I think it's a
pretty good plan All right, sowhat's the next step?

(01:33:46):
I guess we're headed toTresenderman, all right.

I think we got to take the bodies into the town
square.

Yes, yeah.
That first Okay.

Andrew (DM) (01:33:56):
And how are you going to do that?

I whistle for Callie.

Yep.

Andrew (DM) (01:34:04):
Callie comes bursting through the shrubs and
just just just knocks them allover the place and just bounds,
bounds her way over to you andlooks at you, for, you know,
obviously very happy to see you.

Gritches.

Andrew (DM) (01:34:23):
Yes, yeah, very happy to see you, and.

I'm very happy to see her riches yes yeah, very
happy to see you and I'm veryhappy to see her.
Yes, um and uh I.
I think we could throw thebodies over her back and she can
carry them into the square.

It's not that far okay, is she gonna
freak people out?

Fable (Dal) (01:34:46):
I mean not if we're dropping off those dead bodies
in the square.
Yeah, I think.
I think Is she going to freakpeople?

out.
I mean Not if we're droppingoff those dead bodies in the
square.
I think it's to say, hey look,she's with, she's with us.
And even suggestive of like,hey, we have a muscle with us,
Nothing.

Andrew (DM) (01:35:02):
I was reading something on my wall here.
Okay, so who's tossing thebodies up onto Callie?

Fable (Dal) (01:35:16):
Walk.

Andrew (DM) (01:35:16):
All right, so give me a strength check, give me
three strength checks.

I should say athletics tracks, specifically
athletics tracks tie their feetand just have Kelly drag them
into the center they're alreadydead what do you want to do?

Fable (Dal) (01:35:45):
I have a 6, a 20, and a 13.

Andrew (DM) (01:35:51):
A 6, a 20, and not 20?
.

Fable (Dal) (01:35:55):
Uh no.

Andrew (DM) (01:35:56):
Okay so a 6, a 20, and a 13.
Okay so the 20 and the 13,.
You get the bodies up on Up ontop of Callie the six.
You kind of throw it up in theair.
Callie mistakes it for a toyand it was bound to happen.

(01:36:17):
And and grabs, grabs red brandnumber three, and in her mouth
it doesn't eat them but just iskind of thinks the toy is kind
of shaking them back and forth.

Andrew (01:36:34):
We dragged them into the have her drag them into the
square.

She's just shaking it like a chew toy.

Yes absolutely.
She grabs them by the legs oror whatever it doesn't.
It doesn't matter which way shedoes it, but just kind of drag
them along like a chew toy.

Andrew (DM) (01:36:47):
Yeah, we go into the into the middle of that,
into the town green yes and uhand drop them off and we put a
note on the so, as you're, asyou're doing that harbin wester
Comes running out of the townmaster's hall there and is

(01:37:10):
screaming like what have youdone?

This is how you want to talk to us.
We did you a favor.

Andrew (DM) (01:37:23):
This place is going to be swarming with red brands.

Seems unlikely.

Is this a little swarm?
Because it's pretty much dead.

Andrew (DM) (01:37:34):
There's going to be more of them, great, and
they're going to cause a lot ofproblems.
No, they're not.
They've already dragged offseveral people from town.
Well, who have they dragged off?

You want to give me a list of names, I'll see
what I can do to get them backfor you.
Otherwise they can come hereand knock the little biatch out
of you.
For stoppiness, we're trying tohelp you.
If you don't want to see that,that's on you, not on us.

Why are you being a problem?
Who me?
No, harvin, harvin west.
I didn't think I was being aproblem, oh my god, not, you
listen.

Andrew (DM) (01:38:18):
I don't need any more trouble than we already
have with these, these redbrands listen, bud, we're gonna
take care of them.

You gotta chill out.
Red brands Listen, bud, we'regoing to take care of them.
You've got to chill out.
I don't see you doing anythingabout it.

Andrew (DM) (01:38:29):
You better take care of them.

Oh, do I take orders from?

you.
At this point.
I signal to Callie, she dropsthe other, she just drops them
all, and she goes to HarbinWester and licks his face and
then lays down on the groundlooking for a belly rub.

Andrew (DM) (01:38:52):
Oh, who's a good girl?
Yeah, see.

You have three less problems now.

That's the first time.

Andrew (01:39:00):
I've ever liked you.

Yeah.

I'm just saying we want everything for your town
, we want good things for yourtown.
It's a nice little town.
There's no reason you shouldhave to live in fear.

I'm planning to come here and open a
business, but I can't have theseguys hanging around.
So we'll take care of them foryou, but you gotta stop acting
like we're causing more problems.
You've done nothing.

Andrew (01:39:25):
Let us do something.

Andrew (DM) (01:39:35):
If you can eliminate the red brands.

When we eliminate the red brands.

Andrew (DM) (01:39:45):
I will offer you a reward of 200 gold pieces.

Nice, that's what.
I'm talking about.

I think that's perfectly reasonable, all right.

Andrew (DM) (01:40:06):
Before we head up to, I need to use a bomb,
tresendermania.
Let's take a.
Let's take a short break.

Andrew (01:40:12):
Okay.

Andrew (DM) (01:40:13):
All right, so okay.
So next step is to move on toTresendermania, which we will do
next episode.
Yep, cause that's going to bethat there's a bunch of I don't
want to give anything away, butthere's there's a lot going on
in in Tresendor manner.
So so we'll, we'll save thatfor for next time.

(01:40:37):
But let's you want to recaptoday's, today's events?
Yeah, so really, really, I mean.
I mean, I mean, all thathappened today was really the
adventure in um up to the.
I keep, I keep wanting to callit the sleeping giant, the surly
orc, the sleeping giant, thesurly orc, the sleeping giant,

(01:40:58):
the surly orc.
So what so?

the sleeping giant with the sidecars Greska.
Greska and the Fresca.

Yeah.

Greska's, fresca's.
I love the fact that he mighthave a little food truck, food
wagon Right.

Andrew (DM) (01:41:12):
Greska's Fresca's.
Yeah, maybe Greska will stealthe recipe for Fresca.

Yeah.

Andrew (DM) (01:41:19):
And like make, make it her own thing.
That's great Greska's.
Would you like a Greska?

Is Greska a woman?
Yes, I was just about to askthat too.

It just hit me Greska is a surly orc.

Oh, now I'm more afraid of her, a surly lady
orc.

Andrew (DM) (01:41:35):
Yeah, you should be afraid of Greska.

Yeah, no, I was like surly orc.
Okay, I'm like okay now it'seven more terrifying.

Andrew (DM) (01:41:50):
Yes.

Greska is terrifying.
Greska and Trafreska yes.

Fable (Dal) (01:41:59):
How are you doing over?

Andrew (DM) (01:41:59):
there.
Fable Thumbs up, thumbs up, Gotthe big thumbs up from Fable
Thumbs up.
That was it.
It was fascinating because I'mlistening to all of you talk
about this and talking aboutusing the red brands, capes and
everything.
I'm like the little one is notgoing to be well oversized.

(01:42:20):
It's going to be like Dal isgoing to be in short pants.
Yes, they're like Dal is goingto be in short pants, yep.

Oh God, yes, we're human, yes.

Andrew (DM) (01:42:34):
Big tiefling and a little cake, big tiefling, and a
little cake, nice, nice, so no.
So it wasn't going to work outfor most of you.
That was a fun battle.
I was trying to figure out whatyou were going to do with the
first red brand and then Ithought you were going to talk

(01:43:00):
it out and try to intimidate him, because I had this whole like
elaborate, like, like initiationthing.
I was gonna like have you tryto like do something in town and
like commit some crime orsomething to prove yourself to,
and it's funny because I thoughtof that.

I'm like he's gonna have me commit a crime in
this town, that I'm trying toget people to like us and trust
us and it's going to throweverything Screw, this Dissonant
whispers.
I'm going to Rick roll them,that's, you know, and it's.
And I really thought, maybe Ishould, maybe I should think of
another song, but I just thinkif there's one thing that makes
people squirm in my life, it'sto get Rick rolled.

Andrew (DM) (01:43:47):
And you know I'm like that's, that's a good
enough of a.
Well, the the.
The other one that I alwaysthink of is, um, the episode of
how I met your mother whenthey're in the.
Was it in the Fiero?
Oh yes, and the tape.

Yeah, it's uh the pretenders.

Andrew (DM) (01:43:58):
I would walk 500 and like, and I'm just like he's
, like it comes back with aScottish accent and everything.

I would walk 500 miles yeah.

Andrew (DM) (01:44:08):
I'm going to have to go.
And now they see, because Ikeep thinking about things.
Now, if you do it in a Scottishaccent, all I can think of is
now.
So I married an axe murderer.
S-a-t-u-r-d-a-y.

Night you got the piper down.
There's a piper down, he's gota whole huge head.
He probably cries himself tosleep On his wee little pillow.

Andrew (DM) (01:44:34):
See, there's so many ways this could go.

Yes, that's like invoking, like I don't know.

Andrew (DM) (01:44:40):
Oh man.

For me it's like so I married an ex-murderer Is
just like my brother and I woulddo that whole saturday night
thing and and we did it in a wewere both working in a
restaurant.
Harriet got a little troublefor for yodan s-e-t-u-r-d-a-y
night, right.

And then, oh my god, the boss is just like.

What the fuck are you doing?
Yeah, really harriet, sweetharriet, hard-hearted harbinger
of haggis, yeah rose jailbirdrose happy in her cage, no
longer full of rage, she roostsyeah another movie that fable

(01:45:23):
has never, oh my god I don'twatch many movies, but

Andrew (DM) (01:45:28):
anyway.
So all right, so you.
So you're facing these, solet's go back to the the surly
order.
So so you have.
You had these four red brands,so you yeah you, you, rick
rolled the first one and yeahand I, and I really thought it
was.

It was that it was the thought of like I saw
you like say initiation, I'mlike, damn, I'm going to have to
commit crimes, yep.
And I thought, hmm, nah, let'sgo If I take the first guy out.
After he said you have to passan initiation, my thought was,

(01:46:01):
if I can take him out in oneshot, first of all, I'm getting
pretty lucky, right, right,right.
But it's showing an example tothe other guys in the bar, like
not to mess with us.

Andrew (DM) (01:46:13):
And you almost had him.
Yeah, you only had two hitpoints left.

Oh, really yes.

Andrew (DM) (01:46:17):
Like, yes, like you nearly killed him, like right
off the bat.
I was like, oh, that would havebeen like epic, like him, like
right off the bat.
I was like, oh, that would havebeen like epic.

yeah, like like that would have been like
fantastic, just points and Icould have maxed out, I could
have probably gotten those twoyeah, two points.

Andrew (DM) (01:46:31):
But well, it was just the way I rolled.
It's the way I rolled the hitpoints for each of them.
Um, I roll.
Yeah, I rolled that.
He had 16 hit points because Ithink it's like, I think it was
like a, what was it?
I I'm trying to think whattheir ace, what their?
Oh, it was 3d8 plus 3.

Okay.

Andrew (DM) (01:46:51):
So I mean, I guess technically I could have rolled
even lower, but I mean, I didthink.

I did think at one point, and when I asked you
like how far he went back, hesaid 25 to 30 feet.
But there were guys in front ofhim Like the split second
decision.
He's prone and if I hit himwith Eldritch Blast he's
probably dead.

Andrew (01:47:12):
Right.

And then I can go.
I don't have a problem with you.
I knew that guy Right, that wasone way.
But then I thought if we takethem all out we have that many
less to deal with going forward.

Andrew (DM) (01:47:29):
Right, exactly.

And that's what influenced my decision.
I saw Catherine and Faye willgo.
Oh God, what are you doing?
What are you doing?
Why?
Congratulations, you are nowdiquium again.
Yes, congratulations, you arenow Dick.
We I'm again.

Andrew (DM) (01:47:46):
Yes exactly Like the last thing we wanted to do
was get into a fight and and youpicked, and you picked one with
these guys and now we're in one.
Exactly.
But it was funny Like, well,I'm glad you didn't, I'm glad it
ended up that you didn't killthe one, because that I mean,
that was his whole gig.
Yeah, after he killed three,the last one was supposed to run

(01:48:07):
away, so yeah, his whole, hiswhole, his whole purpose in life
was to run away his wholepurpose in life was to run away.
So so I'm.
It was interesting how you, howyou, went about doing that.
It was I liked.
I liked the use of mage hand.
I I liked command.
I thought that was really goodto tell him to halt.

Fable (Dal) (01:48:28):
Thank you.

Andrew (DM) (01:48:28):
So, oh, who's crying Hope, hope.

So I admit it, I looked up mage hand.
You cannot choke somebody,right?
But it doesn't say you can'thold the hand over their mouth
and keep them from you know, canthey break away from it?
Chances are they can break awayfrom it, because you can only
carry 10 pounds with Mage Hand.
But it says nothing about youknow.

(01:48:57):
And my thought was I just wantto be able to re-roll
intimidation.
Yeah, yeah, yeah and use thatas the vehicle to get to be able
to roll intimidation again.
Yeah, that was really good andfor me, I have to say that, the
thing that probably helped me,because, as the audience may or
may not know, I'm playing aspellcaster for the first time

(01:49:18):
in many, many years.
So, I'm kind of intrigued aboutit, and so when we leveled up,
I had to take those invocationsand had Mage Armor as an
Eldritch invocation.

Andrew (DM) (01:49:32):
Mage Armor, that was a good.
That saved you from getting hit.

I think I probably would have gotten hit
at least twice.

Andrew (DM) (01:49:41):
Well, I think only the one time, there was only one
time I attacked you Because yourolled a 12.
I had a 12 armor was you wouldit would have had a 12, I would
have hit yeah but then it was 14so yeah that was good yeah, I'm
like wait a minute, it doesn't.

It can be.

Andrew (DM) (01:49:55):
It can be a bonus action, okay and and I love, I
love zan rose's use of of theacrobatics.
Like I love that they're justlike this little spunky.

Yeah, I gotta say I love that Into Flurry of
Blows is they're just getting somad.

Seriously she's just so mad.

Andrew (DM) (01:50:18):
See.
So, mike, one of the otherpeople that I've played with,
he's the one that calls it Furyof Blows, and that would have
been a Fury of, I mean Zanros.

Yeah, she's just like.

Andrew (DM) (01:50:30):
Zanros is a little ball of fury.

She's so mad , she's just so mad.

Andrew (01:50:35):
It's the.

Andrew (DM) (01:50:38):
Napoleon complex.

Zanros is the gnome version of Hope.

Andrew (DM) (01:50:42):
She's just so mad, so full of rage?
No explanation why just full ofrage?
No, no reason.
No, no explanation why justfull of rage.

I mean, at least there's an explanation as
to why zanros is so mad oh yeahwell, it, it?

it's funny like, look my mom's like four foot
nine right and, and there is inin dnd, there's fury of the
small, is it really?
Yeah, it is a fury of the small, and I heard that and I'm like,
oh my god, that's my, that's mymom like anybody I know that is
five foot and below they havefury of the small and I used

(01:51:15):
this explanation hi, hi, fableyou, you have fables 411.

Fable (Dal) (01:51:20):
Yeah, you have fury of the small, I can tell do you
want to see a video of metackling my friend to the floor?

oh, the leap before it is just the best look
, oh yeah I know that we've likefable and I just love you,
sophia.
Yeah, fable.

And I've just met at the beginning when we
started, when we started playing, so if anybody wants to know
that, so you have to understandyour height immediately.
I'm like, yeah, I'm a littleafraid because yeah, you're you
have fury the small, and I can,I can already sense it.
Yes, and and it's that and thethe thing that I use to explain
this is this everybody has anger, okay, and you have an average

(01:52:00):
level of anger.
There are people that haveanger issues and they have more
right.
But if you take average sizeanger and you compress it into a
smaller package, it becomesfury of the small.
There you go, so makes sensenothing to be trifled with.
You should not like as much asreally.
Tall people will always be kindand reach the things on the

(01:52:21):
higher selves and everything.
It's just the opposite.

Andrew (DM) (01:52:24):
Smaller people will kneecap you at their first
opportunity, oh yeah, so am Iwrong?

I'm not wrong all right.

Andrew (DM) (01:52:31):
So let me, let me ask this question.

Let's, let's , yes, let me circle this back
to our our adventure, ouradventure today, since it's not
just us telling stories, rightit's just story time, so I will
always find a tangent.

I apologize, we're near now please forgive me
, we're a bad combination oh mygod so so there, there there are
.

Andrew (DM) (01:52:52):
Believe it or not, there are some things that you,
you could, I I will say youcould have done a better job
questioning your red brandprisoner there.
There was a lot more you couldhave learned from, from this
person that you do not know.

(01:53:13):
That would have really did.

We did ask him who they were holding captive.

Andrew (DM) (01:53:19):
Yes.

We didn't get an answer.

Andrew (DM) (01:53:20):
I will.
I will tell you who they'reholding captive, because you did
.

Fable (Dal) (01:53:23):
Is it the family of that dead dude?

Andrew (DM) (01:53:28):
What dead dude.

Fable (Dal) (01:53:29):
They killed a guy and then the family went missing
.

Andrew (DM) (01:53:34):
Okay, see Someone's paying attention.

Fable (Dal) (01:53:37):
That's kind of what I thought.

Andrew (DM) (01:53:38):
Thank you, Fable.

Are you keeping notes, Fable.

Fable (Dal) (01:53:40):
Yes.

I also just remembered that.

Fable (Dal) (01:53:43):
I don't think that's written down.

Okay, but that's accurate Good memory, yeah,
yeah.

Andrew (DM) (01:53:47):
So yeah, so there is Myrna Dendrar and her teenage
children, nars and Nilsa Narsand Nilsa 13-year-old Nars and
18-year-old Nilsa.

Where's their mother?

Andrew (DM) (01:54:07):
Remember, a couple days ago the Red Brains murdered
Myrna's husband Fell, or Iwouldn't say I mean supposedly
they killed him.

Fable (Dal) (01:54:21):
Oh really, wasn't he found dead?

No, god damn it, he wasn't found dead.

Andrew (DM) (01:54:26):
No, because my thought when we heard that was
Well, no, I think they know thathe was killed, but no body was
found.

No body was found.
Okay.

Andrew (DM) (01:54:36):
Let's put it that way.

Carver, Because he stood up to them right or he
did not.

And now there's an urban legend that if
you pass by at a certain time ofnight in your wagon, you see
the ghost of Fel.

Andrew (DM) (01:54:54):
So funny, so funny, but there I want to.
There are some surprises inTresendor Manor and I was.
I was hoping you would ask somemore questions, but now you're
just going to have to.

Can't we just pamper?
Him with questions on our wayto the manor.

Fable (Dal) (01:55:16):
Instead of are we there, yet Are we there?

yet.

Andrew (DM) (01:55:20):
It's a very short walk.

Fable (Dal) (01:55:21):
I'll make it long.
It's not that far my legs areshort too.

How fast do I move?
Not as fast as everybody else.

Andrew (DM) (01:55:32):
And you have to figure out what and it's funny
because you think aboutinterrogation.

I think what else should we ask, like how
many?
Okay, how many are we facing?

What else?

is in there with you.
What else is you know, whatelse is there?
That would have been a goodquestion to ask.
Yeah, uh, because I thoughtwhen I walked in and I and I
rolled persuasion and I got thatbeautiful nat 20 and then I
didn't roll anything close to it.
Well, I rolled 17 or 18 yeah butum yeah, but I was just trying

(01:56:06):
to think it's not Clark.
Oh, they work for Spider.
It's not King Groll, becausethose are goblins and these guys
apparently hate the goblins.
As we were talking to him, I'mlike, okay, well, that could be
a workplace problem for.

Andrew (01:56:26):
Zanros Sure sure.

You have your employees hating one another.
It's like okay.

Andrew (DM) (01:56:32):
I know that you're going to have all sorts of
issues with employee relations.
You better hire someone reallygood at HR.

What you're saying, that Zanros isn't good
at HR.
She's a people person.
She's a people rock gnome.
Oh is she?
No, she's just a ball of rage.
Listen, she might be betterwith people.
I mean, she was pretty chillwhen she was bringing all the
gnomes on the goblins on board.

The problem is, the more time they spend in this
town, the more she finds outjust how horrendous the
situation is at jacinda manor,and she's pissed yeah, trisender
manor is basically a shithole,so you're also fired, fired,
fired, fired well, it's funnybecause when I looked at the map

(01:57:24):
again today I was like yeah, itis actually part of the reason
I asked you if we had access tothe map as players, because you
can kind of look and see thatmost of Trescender Manor looks
like it's ruins.

Andrew (DM) (01:57:37):
Yes, it is.
There's very little of theupper structure left to
Trescender Manor of the upperstructure left to Tresendor
Manor.

I'm hopeful that the citizens of Phandalin
will be so grateful for usridding them of the red brands
that they'll have a little bitof a barn raising for Tresendor
Manor and everybody will pitchin.

Andrew (DM) (01:57:59):
You know.
So you brought this up,catherine, during gameplay.
Yes, brought this up, catherine, during during gameplay, and
you may want to.
So, if the red brands are thethe main clientele of the
sleeping giant right.

(01:58:21):
Greska might make an excellentcook that's fair for the Bumble
Bumble B&B, because there'sthere's a potential for Greska
to lose a lot of business once,once the red brands are removed
from the area.
Yeah, so so you might want toconsider hiring hiring Greska to

(01:58:42):
to cook and and Greska might bea good, strong person to help
you rebuild the Bumble BumbleB&B.
So, that's something to thinkabout.

So basically, writing bad customer on dead
bodies was probably not a goodidea Correct.

That's why we didn't do that.

Andrew (DM) (01:59:03):
You would have drawn more red brands to like.
They would have seen that Like.
If you hadn't immediately goneto Tresenderman, you would have
drawn the ire of other redbrands and would have had to
face other red brands in townprobably.

(01:59:26):
But Harbin is not a very braveperson, clearly.

He's not the cops, he's just kind of and
there is a conspicuous absenceof any sort of town guard or
anything.
Yes, exactly At this point.

Andrew (DM) (01:59:46):
So that's why he was very concerned that you
killing these guys was going tomake it even worse, Right right,
Because, like I said, it couldgo either way.
People could be really happythat, okay, hey, you're clearing
things out, or oh God.

You're making trouble for us.

Andrew (DM) (02:00:00):
Yeah, exactly, you know we're all used to giving
them some money and and andkeeping the peace.
You know everything.

Everything's kind of we're not making a lot
of money, but at least we'realive, right.

Andrew (DM) (02:00:13):
Exactly, exactly so it's a tough, it's a tough
situation.

I mean we're just going to kill them all and
then it'll be fine.

Andrew (DM) (02:00:23):
That's the hope, yeah.

Fable (Dal) (02:00:24):
And then everyone clapped.

And everyone helped me as far as the town not
liking us because we'rebringing more trouble.

Andrew (DM) (02:00:35):
Feel like us when we win absolutely no was my
attitude you'll be heroes, yeahand just for one day, I was
waiting for that.

I was like, no, it's coming.

Andrew (DM) (02:00:54):
Can't help myself.
So, yeah, so, yeah.
So you will definitely beheroes in Van Dalen if you can
rid them of the red brands,because that has been the bane
of their existence for some time.
Yeah, so next not next episode,but next session we will

(02:01:24):
traverse Trescender Manor andall that it has to hold, which
is very exciting.
So you've got some prisoners tofree.

You've got red brands to, I mean honestly I was
hoping he would say a rockgnome of your acquaintance kind
of thing.
Yeah he would say, like a rockgnome of your acquaintance kind
of thing so yeah, but we alsoknow that gundren was more
likely in the company of thecrag maw goblins, the other crag

(02:01:59):
maw goblins, right, right atcrag maw castle.

Andrew (DM) (02:02:02):
So so that that's some somewhere you're to have to
go eventually.
Um, yeah, so yeah, so you gotsome clearing out to do of
whatever nasties may hide withintrascender manor yeah, then we
gotta get gundren and and again.

(02:02:23):
You don't, you don't.
As always, you don't have tokill them.
You can either negotiate orencourage them to become
employees of the B&B.

I mean that red brand is not doing himself
any favors, saying how my familythinks they're nobility.

What Well I thought I'm sitting over here
going.
He doesn't like goblins andhe's just disparaged Xeners'
family.
That might not go well for him.

Yeah, that's why he was fired, fired, fired.

Andrew (DM) (02:03:05):
That's why I wanted to play him to see what you do
with him.
That's why he was fired, fired,fired.
That's why I wanted to play himto see what you do with him.
That's why I'm like, let mepiss her off and see what she
does.
She is such a little ball ofrage.
I'm like let's see what happens.

Andrew (02:03:20):
Let's see what happens if we shake her.

If you pick her up and shake her, she's
going to kill you.

Andrew (DM) (02:03:31):
Flurry of blows to the head.
All right, guys, so let's callit for now.
We will regroup in a month andtake over Trescender Manor, the
soon-to-be Bemble Bomble B&B.
Who's going to finance theproject for you?
If you need a commercial lender, I know some people.

Yeah, no, zan Rose is doing this on her
own.

Andrew (DM) (02:03:58):
Okay.

She's collecting gold left and right.
I think we'll be fine.

Andrew (DM) (02:04:03):
Love it.
All right.
So thank you everyone forlistening to this fun adventure.
Yes, thank you all for playingand we will see you in a see you
in a month.
Well, I mean, we'll, we'll beback with more episodes between
now and then, but we'll see thisgroup and back in a month.
