Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hey everyone, this is Kim. The dream for life from Day's
jail. And you're currently listening
to episode 36 of our Soul of Frost campaign, Sapphic Panic.
Thank you so much for tuning in.We hope you enjoy a.
Heart without a soul cannot beat.
A heart that cannot beat turns to ice.

(00:33):
The ice hides what once was until the soul comes calling
again. Glory to awaken what lies

(00:56):
beneath the frost. So last time we concluded the
vicious fight between the Cloud Veils, the Sabretooths and the
Nun Ton, it was time for Thicketto make a imperative decision.

(01:17):
Who will he join with? And in the end he decided, well
at first the Sabretooths, but that didn't really work out.
He actually ended up having to run.
So he and Wyatt ran away off into the tundra together.
As Thicket has pissed off his people.
The most likely mildly perturbedthis.

(01:40):
Excuse me, I had to burp there. Possibly mildly perturbed, the
Sabretooths and the. Cloud veils are just their own
thing entirely. And we all fucking hate the
cloud veils. Elizabeth.
I never trusted Elizabeth again.I.

(02:01):
Again, he trusted her in the 1stplace.
I don't never trust her man. I have She was like.
Too happy about us killing her children, we.
I have to admit, I love how muchyou hate Elizabeth.
No, it's it's really funny. So yeah, that's, that's pretty
much the gist of it. Currently, Thicket and Wyatt are

(02:25):
running away as Chief Brave Walker seems to not be giving
chase right now and. Well, while that's.
Happening. Why don't we spin on over to the
one and only Bastion Parker, whowe haven't heard from in a
little bit, but. If you remember.

(02:48):
The last we saw of Bastion, she had just woken up from her
little her little brain adventure and had managed to
come across Dawn Collar. And Dawn Collar had, upon
sighting Bastion, run up, givingher a great Big Bear hug and

(03:12):
said, Bastion, I think my father's gone mad.
He's going to kill us all. So that's what we're going to
pick up. It's really.
Where we left that episode, huh?It really is.
So, Bastion, how do you respond to that statement?
What are you talking about? What I right, I I, I suppose

(03:40):
I've got a little explaining to do.
Are you hungry? Just.
A hair. I've got some.
But not so hungry that I don't want the explanation.
Well, you'll get the explanation, but there's,
there's food. I yeah, I'll, yeah, there's food

(04:01):
here and it's warm. So eat something please.
She walks you over to her littlecampsite and there is in fact
there is in fact a small pot of beans boiling over the fire.

(04:23):
We'll take some beans. You take some beans.
Do you try the beans? Presumably I would try and eat
the beans. Well, you attempt to.
This feels like a threat. And they are incredibly hot
beans, though it seems the chillwinter air has certainly cooled

(04:44):
them down quite rapidly. They they taste fairly bland to
be honest. That is, I would say something
you would remember from from your past adventures with Dawn
Collar is that she is not. She is no chef.

(05:06):
She is no thub UG Iman when it comes to the culinary arts or
anything else really. Yeah, who who really is the
boogie mom? So as you as you eat your bland
beans that taste like they probably don't even have any
salt in them. Dawn Collar just takes a very

(05:30):
deep. Breath.
OK, so my father. My father's chief brave Walker,
as I'm I'm sure you've probably assumed at this point, I didn't.

(05:52):
Want to know how this has never come up, but I'm willing to let
it go for the moment. Because I left and I was exiled
and then I came back and I didn't want to make it weird
when you were meeting him. And he sent us to go murder a
bird. Yes, but I didn't know he'd gone
crazy at that point. Look.

(06:13):
It's still nice to tell someone that you're meeting their
father. Well, right, but I didn't want
to make him nervous. I was already plenty nervous.
I know that just would have madeit worse.
I think, OK, what? It made it worse for me, I know
that much. OK.
OK. So.
That part doesn't. Really.

(06:34):
Matter, yes, and he's he's. He's gone mad and he's killing
us all. Well, let's get to that point.
There's a I'm getting there if you'll stop interrupting me.
Damn it. Look, he's got, he's got this
ability to sort of see through time, if that makes any sense.

(07:02):
And he's had it since he was a child.
And recently it seems he's become a little con, a little
bit more convinced then he should be that some sort of

(07:24):
great evil is waking up and thatwe are all being lied to.
By who? I don't know.
He would not say that part. And he is convinced that the

(07:47):
only way to save the world is toreunite the soul of Frost with
the remains of an ancient deity hidden within the glacier.

(08:11):
OK, lots of words there. I'm going to take this piece by
piece. Yes, good news, bad news, bad
news. I I told you about Jeanti
Clomatimo. I.
What? I don't.

(08:32):
I don't think you have. You know, it probably didn't
come up because at the time didn't really have time.
Yeah. So do you remember how how I did
that run with my crew to go get soil?
Yes. Yeah, so one night we were

(08:53):
camping in our snowmobile and suddenly this French bastard
with a mask shows up. Hold on, what?
What does French mean? It's a word we've come up for.
I see, I see. All right.
Them, because they're entirely indescribable otherwise.

(09:16):
I see. All right, all right.
French. The indescribable adjective.
I'm sorry, That was too much humor for the situation.
Go on. They appeared in the snowmobile.
OK. Like literally materialized,
gave us some riddles, said they'd see us again, and then

(09:39):
disappeared. And we were like, oh that's a
kind of weird one off situation.And then when we went to go
fight that Cult of wind, they popped up again.
I don't remember what specifically they had to say.
I remember it was eerie and I didn't love it.

(10:00):
But then you were dying and there was a lot going on, so it
didn't feel relevant to mention.And then we left.
And then we went into the HollowForest and suddenly there they
were again. They took the board room.
Actually, I don't know where sheis.

(10:21):
Hope she's well. Oh, I thought she died in the
forest. That's what the scouts had told
us, that she just never came back out.
She did never come back out. I just don't know where
Chantique sent her. I see.
But that's here's the thing, Chantique mentioned something

(10:45):
about an awakening and we had tostop an awakening but wouldn't
mention an awakening of what or how to avoid awakening it.
And I'm honestly not sure if killing the bird helped stop the
awakening or helped kick start the awakening.

(11:08):
Either way, not good. And remember when I said I had
good news? I lied.
There's none. Right.
OK, well, goodness, bad news. Good news, if you can call it
that. I have no idea what in the hell

(11:28):
is you're talking about with this, John, Take that.
Bad news. Actually, we'll call it mediocre
news, I suppose. Good news.
Your friends, to my knowledge, are currently alive and.

(11:49):
It's good news. It's been a few days since I got
a message. Yes, and they last I'd heard,
they had been kind of captured by the Sabretooth.
But that's not necessarily a badthing, I don't think.
I don't know. The scouts weren't really able

(12:09):
to tell what was going on, but it.
It would be better news if they had bastards going to dig in her
bag and pull up the parlay token.
This. That, I thought probably would
be helpful, but so slightly moremediocre news.

(12:33):
When they were taken, the carcass of the Kotti Ren was
left behind and my father's people retrieved it.
Bad news, I believe. Yes, you're killing the Kotti

(12:55):
Ren. It's likely made things worse.
I was right about the fucking bird and your dad, sorry.
I I believe he plans on using itsomehow, I don't know what.
Do you do with the giant bird? Course I don't know, but there's
a lot of ancient rites and rituals associated with the

(13:19):
heart that only my father knows.Why does your fault?
Is this the time thing? How?
This is the chiefs of the irony have passed down their secrets
generation after generation after generation, and they keep
it entirely to the to the chiefsfrom a.

(13:43):
Sibling who's next in line? Who?
Maybe I have no siblings at all.And also we we don't do you know
that whole what's it called the with that like the next in line
thing we don't do a line of succession.
We vote, we vote on our chief. Hi.

(14:03):
That's nice. Democracy is nice.
Hi. I mean, it would be better if it
didn't mean that your father wascurrently.
Well, yes, but he has and has defense done quite well for us
over the years. You're right, there's no way
that the voters of the Republic could have assumed that this

(14:23):
mental breakdown would occur. No, Well, that's the thing
though, is I've seen my father breakdown.
Before. And it's not like this.
What do you? Mean it's not like this but.
He really loses it. He his emotions tend to run high

(14:46):
and he is very, very eerily calmright now.
So what? Either this is a worse break
than I've ever seen, or he has fully convinced himself that
this is the right course of action.

(15:10):
Truthfully, I'm not sure which of those is more dangerous.
Neither do I, but I only know this because he revealed his
plans to his inner circle, whichI was in, and all of them are

(15:34):
with him. Right.
Which leads us back to He wants to put the heart in a deity.
He wants to reunite the soul with the heart.
And so have you heard our rhyme about the soul of Frost?

(15:54):
It's been. A bloody long time.
So it's all right. It, it goes like it, it, it sort
of tells the story a little bit of to a certain extent, it's
very watered down. But a heart without a soul
cannot beat. A heart that cannot beat turns

(16:17):
to ice. The ice hide it once was until
the soul comes calling again to awaken lies beneath the frost.
The soul was disconnected from the heart.
Heart froze and now the soul is out again, so it's calling to

(16:38):
the heart. Why were they disconnected?
Do we know that? I don't this is the scary part
is that this the heart of ice, how to put this?

(17:04):
There is no history. It's not even that like there's
a history that's been forgotten or something.
It's like that portion of knowledge has just been
completely scrubbed from reality.

(17:24):
It's as if when I, when I speak to people and when I go through
our old records and all of that,there's just a sheer disconnect
of when there was and was not a glacier.
And there's never a mention of this deity that my father says
is trapped within it. So he's just seen the future and

(17:59):
he sees it in the future. I don't know.
I think he must see it in the future.
He might also see it in the past.
His, his time sense has gotten very strange, I guess.
I suppose when I speak to, when I, when I've spoken to his

(18:21):
advisors about it, they've said that he's been gazing through
time a lot more recently. And I don't know, I this is all
very stressful. I won't lie.
It's all very stressful. I don't blame you.

(18:44):
I believe, I don't. I don't know what I believe.
What I do believe is that my father is going to do something
terrible, or at least he's goingto try, and that your friends
are in extreme danger. Or honestly, the worst case
scenario would be if Beckett were to side with my father and

(19:11):
just give him the soul, because then there would be no
opposition, no nothing. Because frankly, the Sabretooth
don't hold a candle to the powerof my father and his his people.

(19:31):
So we need to we need to find thicket.
We need to find thicket and we need to find a way to destroy
this old frost. I don't suppose we know any
experts who might know. Your father was the expert we
consulted, and that's gone superwell.

(19:53):
OK, OK. We just have to.
We have to find Thicket. Right.
Well. Thicket where?
Luckily I might be able to get us some information on that.

(20:13):
Well like I said, my father's inner circle is all in on his
plan but not all of the RNA are.I have made some others aware
who I trust and and one of them is in the scouting parties

(20:39):
responsible for tracking the movements of your people.
I accepted the responsibility ofcoming to you and bringing you
to our point of view, as in my father's point of view, because
he. You're supposed to be here to
brainwash me into giving the heart the soul.

(21:00):
Sort of more like how to put this.
And she sort of like she leans over, puts her forehead in her
hands, takes a deep breath, sitsback up.
My father understands how important you are to me, and he
wants you to be on our side so that I don't have to kill you.

(21:25):
Also, he likes you. Is it bad that I'm kind of happy
your dad likes me even though your dad is trying to kill
everyone? I think it's a lot of mixed
emotions to be honest. That's fair.
I think. I think mixed emotions are going
to cover it. Probably the best.

(21:49):
OK, right. Think it.
Right. So my hope is that possibly in
the morning we can have some information.

(22:09):
Maybe. Last I was told, last I was told
there was to be a meeting between the Nantan and the
Sabretooth that were holding Thicket and Wyatt captive.
Thub was released by the way. They did just let him go.

(22:35):
They just let him go. I.
So they're just kind of out somewhere.
I guess so. I don't.
None of the scouts on Thub are reporting to me, so I frankly
don't know what they're doing. But they were pushed.
They were pushed in the direction of rock.

(22:59):
That's a problem for. Later, that's a problem for
after we find thicket and. Right.
I think, I think they come firstbecause frankly, look, I don't
even know if Thicket will be in the be alive in the morning
because if he doesn't side with my father, there is a strong
chance that he will be dead, very dead.

(23:23):
Awesome, so we need Thicket or Thicket's corpse as soon as
possible. Well, yes, assuming Thicket's
corpse would still have the sortof frost in it, which is very
well might not If my father kills him and rips it out of his
chest. It's a.

(23:44):
Fair question I. Right.
Unfortunately, this is a question that right.
This is a question that we can'treally answer right now.
I know this is a lot that I've just put on yet, but I think the

(24:04):
best course of action for tonight is for you to eat and
for you to get a good night's rest You.
Didn't bring any liquor with these beans, did you?
Bastian Parker, who do you take me for?
And she pulls out of her bag a very large, very large clay jug.

(24:27):
Gods. Bless you, I'm going to take
that and just take a giant drink.
Oh you take a big ol swig and itis Steronk.
This is like excellent. It is.

(24:47):
It is spicy like spiced. It is a little bit sweet.
It burns like hell, but in a in like a pleasant way, not in like
a not in like an acetone kind ofway like it.
It just, it's like almost like the best real world comparison I

(25:14):
could give it would be like a good spiced rum, but a whiskey.
So kind of like a Spike spiced whiskey.
So yeah, Bastion, you take a bigold swig and yeah, damn does

(25:35):
that damn does that hit the spotright now.
So I'm other than fighting and killing a giant bird, I'm
dealing with the whatever this jauntyque fella is.
How have you been Look. At the snow.

(26:04):
You know what, I I understand that entirely like.
You've never been anywhere without snow, so you don't
really. Know what you're.
Missing. I suppose that's true.
I suppose that is true man, if. We survive this.

(26:26):
We can hop on a boat and go somewhere where there's not a
lick of fucking snow anywhere. That wouldn't be too bad.
I'd like to get somewhere. I've spent 26 years here.
I'd like to go somewhere else. It would be nice at least.
We're on a map and I'll find us a boat there.

(26:48):
I'd like that. I think that's a good a good
goal for once we get all this mess dealt with always.
More mess. Always more mess.
I feel like even if we go somewhere else, we'll run into
even more bleeding mess. It's.

(27:10):
Fine, you just have to. I've got off all of my body
parts and just carry my brain around in a jar.
Well, if we did that, then I wouldn't get to look at your
Pretty Little face, and that is not a sacrifice I'm willing to
make. Well then you might just have to
put my head in the jar because the rest of me is riddled with

(27:37):
troubles. Well, I can maybe work with
that. If we can't figure out a way to
calm them troubles I I bet we can pull that off.
Oh well, you should just listen to my heart.
My heart has so many ideas for how to rid me of my issues.

(27:59):
Bastion you hear in your mind, and my ideas are.
Quite effective so far, aren't they?
One kidney does not solve the problem.
What? My heart is commentating.

(28:19):
Oh, I see, I see, I see. And have you been working on any
good stories or anything for Himas?
Oh, I'd imagine she'd probably be encouraging you to make a
song or something. She's always encouraging songs.

(28:43):
Anything you're willing to play?Maybe when it's all over.
I don't know, I feel like I could use a solid lullaby.
Oh, lullaby, you say? Perhaps.
Well, I don't have any of those.Well done.

(29:07):
The left toes, like the fuck areyou doing?
I can't play left toe, dude. What are you doing?
Man? You're bugging this up.
Come on. Bask in your left toe starts
yelling at you, which is real weird 'cause your left toe has
never once spoken to you. What?
Is my left toe yelling? What is it?

(29:28):
Hey, you're bugging this up. You see what she's trying to do
right now. My left toe is very incensed.
I. Said no.
What is? What is What is your left toe
incensed about Bastion? Well, it it thinks that I should

(29:49):
be. She leans forward, resting her
elbow on one knee and her chin on the back of her hand.
Older it thinks that I should beI.
See Folded about what night? I ask.
You know damn well. Oh, do I?

(30:12):
I think I might need you to say it out loud.
Fashion Parker. Of course, we could just put a
pin on this and come back to it another day, but where's the fun
of that? We've got this whole night just
ourselves. Plenty of space for thought.

(30:36):
You know me, I'm always going toput the pin in it.
She sits back. No Emma Maze, Why don't?
You pick me AD 20. Motherfucker, let me consult the

(30:58):
list. The list ain't going to do shit.
I know the list isn't going to do shit.
Let's go with two. 2 All right, all right, all right #2.

(31:20):
Bastion. You see a hint of disappointment
in Don Caller's eyes, but you can tell that this was not an
unexpected response, even if herand her her somewhat playful

(31:44):
demeanor that she's pulled up has not entirely retracted as
she reaches across and grabs thejug out of your hand before
taking a very large drink of herown.
You know you're welcome to say it.
Oh, I could, but where's the funof that?

(32:12):
Gives you a big old goofy grin. Such a jerk.
I know it. You know it.
That's why you keep me around. Well, actually more like why
you've somewhat kept me around this time around, considering

(32:37):
you did leave I. Did.
You did. I really sucked when you did
that. I won't lie.
I. Know that's why I don't want to.

(32:59):
It's all right. It's all right.
It's all right. No, no, it is all right.
There's a lot going on right nowand I'm at this point the, the
smile and the playful demeanor have fallen away.
I'm, I'm sorry I'm putting too much on you at once right now,

(33:21):
and that's not fair. And I understand that this
horrid crisis situation is probably not the right time.
It's never been. A right time, it's just.
We just need to. If there's never a right time,
then maybe we just need to decide if that's OK and go for

(33:42):
it anyways. Do I just?
That's fine, That's fine. Let's good.
At this sort of thing. It's it's OK.
Just I'll drop the conversation.That's enough for tonight.
I think the rest of the beans are yours.

(34:05):
I'm going to, I'm going to go tosleep.
I think I've got a sentry on watch so you can sleep soundly.

(34:25):
Good night, Bastian. Parker, she heads on over to her
little tent that she's made-up. You realize at this point you do
not have a tent or a bed roll orany camping supplies.

(34:49):
Oh. Wait, about 20.
Drinking the whole time I'm assuming.
Oh yeah, drinking the whole timebefore I very sheepishly come
over and kind of knock on the damn flap.

(35:11):
She pokes her head out. Yes.
It occurs to me that I don't have camping supplies.
Oh, you don't know. All right, well, give me a

(35:31):
moment. You would have assumed you
would. Have at this point, after all,
you're travelling. She pulls her head back inside,
pokes it back out again a minutelater.
Well, lucky you, I've got a few extra blankets and I might not

(35:51):
have an extra tent, but this thing is meant to sleep too
anyways, so that's warm. If you're all right with that
occurs. If it's not the wrong time,
you're. Never going to let me live it

(36:12):
down, are you? Nope, she gives you a wink and
lets you into the tent where there is in fact a second set of
blankets laid out. Seems that she's very hastily
pushed all of her stuff to the side.

(36:36):
I only had one pillow, I'm sorry.
So you'll have to be content with.
I don't know. The backs of your hands or
something? Yesterday I slept on a rock.
So. You know what?
That's Yeah, that that All right, That makes sense.

(36:58):
All right, get some good rest and I'll talk to you in the
morning. All right.
Yeah. She just lies down in her little
bed, roll pulls the blankets right up, just rolls over.
Almost immediately starts snoring.

(37:28):
Do you also go to sleep? Yes.
Yes. Did you, I sent you a video
earlier today. I think that was like a skit
someone did about why do you keep bringing up my real issues
in D and. DI actually did not watch that.
I do not even know you sent me an.

(37:49):
It's like in that case it was like, why do you keep bringing
up my real issues in DND and there's this like mother issues
or something and it's like this is entirely self motivated.
Yeah, I can't. Clearly, this is something I'm

(38:10):
going to have to discuss with mytherapist because I couldn't
make the movie. I'm the fictional girl that I
know for a fact into the fictional character that I play.
Well, what a show we have here. So anyways, this is beautiful
flipping back to. Thick and riot.

(38:32):
Can we get the right toe in on this as well?
Or are we just going to Oh my God, it happened?
Actually, yes. Why?
Why don't we? Why don't we?
Why don't we see what the organshave to say as Bastion dozes
off? What do our friends liver and
kidney have to say? Do we do like this, this whole

(38:53):
affair? The pirate from SpongeBob.
Like slack face. Like absolutely.
The the liver is furious. You've got some liquor in you
and you're not putting it to good use.
What's all this inhibition? You've got the feelings.

(39:19):
Just use that liquid Luck. I hate to say it but I agree
with the liver on something. You are such a worse, I know I
do. Something if you're brave.
Oh. Kidney, you are not asked your

(39:43):
opinion on this shush. All right.
Oh, shut the fuck up now. Good kidney is just as much a
part of this as we are. Fine, yes, fine Kidney, you may
have your opinion. Kidney just stays quiet.

(40:08):
Oh. Don't do this.
I vouched for you man. I am in a body full of children.
Oh my God, what if we're all children?
No, no, oh, Oh no out of. Character not out of the not out

(40:29):
of the out of character for eight points right there.
It really wouldn't be. It would not be.
That's the fucked up part. Anyways, bastard, do you have
any responses to this? What do you want me to do?

(40:49):
Something. Thank you, very helpful.
I know clearly This is why I should be in charge.
I have no control in the matter I.
Should. I don't know what everyone wants

(41:12):
from me. This has been a really bad time.
This is I'm not. I have.
Do you know how many friends I had before I came to this
constant one? And he was killed and became my
hands. OK.
That's that's the sum total of friendships that I had before I
met her. And then she and I and we.

(41:37):
We. Trust me, I remember the first
time as well and it was just as painful, if not a little bit
more so. I think her flirting might have
been a little bit more aggressive back then.

(42:02):
I don't understand you this. Person.
I. Don't.
I don't even know who I am. Oh see, that's the issue.
You're going to be someone you're not, baby.
Get some more that around me. I mean, I think you should only
do things you're comfortable with and you're not comfortable

(42:22):
yet. Just don't.
Do it boring. It's not that I don't, I did.
Morally, I unfortunately have toagree with the kidney.
However, morals are for losers. Yeah, you say that, says the
left toe, Sir. What did my left toe just.

(42:48):
Say yeah, you say that. Yeah, say that you or something
like that, I don't remember. I'm not worried about what kind
of person my left toe came from.I love the implication that

(43:09):
means like multiple toes came from multiple people too.
Oh yes. Of course.
That's that's a little scary. It's very you.
Have like 10 personalities for each one.
It's like, you know, there's like half of the foot, half of
the foot, you know, the other half is the other half.
Anyways, coming now to Thicket and.

(43:33):
Wyatt who are are running through the snow right now.
Oh yeah, you guys. Are.
Running for your gods damn lives.
How far? What is our time difference at
this point? So at this point, at this point,
Bastion has just right now, Bastion is actually ahead by a

(44:01):
few hours. So Don Caller in theory is
getting information about what has just happened with the
battle in the morning. OK, so Wyatt and Thicket, you
are still running for your gods damned lives.

(44:23):
You can still see the. You can still if you.
Turn. Around Wyatt, you can still
actually see the RNA Maulers following you.
Brave Walker himself might not be chasing, but the Maulers

(44:47):
absolutely are, and they're not even at a full Sprint and
they're catching up. So what do you do?
You've got nothing. You, you don't know where

(45:10):
exactly you are. You just know that there is open
tundra everywhere. So any ideas where's the nearest

(45:33):
town again, you have no idea or which Oh my gosh, cardinal
direction was absolutely no idea.
We. Were blindfolded.
Fuck. Wyatt.
Wyatt just shuts his eyes for a quick second and he feels

(45:54):
succeed. Give him nothing, and he points
over that way right in front of him.
I think that was the best fucking idea right now.
I'm. Just going to keep on following
you. Why?
Don't you roll it D8 for me, Wyatt AD 8.
Oh crap slash R1D8 4. Understood.

(46:16):
All right. All right.
And we go the four way. All right, that's what we do.
All right, all right. So I as we're writing, I hope
we're writing ideas, by the way.Thicker.

(46:41):
Do you have anything? I haven't got a damn clue.
I know that you are still sick, that a white is still sickened
and slowed as a result. OK, actually I do have one idea.
Yeah. Hang on, I just I I need to
check something first. I need, I need to what is

(47:04):
cranberry size? Cranberry is is it a medium
creature? It's medium.
OK. Can small creatures ride medium
creatures? I believe so, yes.
OK. I'm going to bring out
cranberry, OK? You have to.

(47:28):
Stop in order to do that. So you bring out cranberry and
this the RNA are gaming on you all.
Right. I'm now going to cast Evolution
Surge on Cranberry. OK, so it gains a.

(47:54):
I don't know which I want to do here.
OK, cranberry is going to becomelarge.
OK, cranberry becomes large. And then thick, it's going to

(48:19):
climb on his back. OK, and and I want.
Cranberry to pick up what hit. And I believe, OK, so Cranberry
would end up being hold on. So evolution surge, Does turning
him large increase his strength?That no, it doesn't.

(48:43):
Because he would be encumbered by carrying both of you.
Because however. It does say.
It does say you can ride your idol on without getting in each
other's. Way I see.
I I interpreted that to mean thicket would not count for
encumbrance hold. On I'm looking.

(49:12):
Ah, I understand. OK, so that that is about like
writing rules. So it yeah, normally when you're
writing something, it only gets 2 actions.
I see. So that's what that means.

(49:32):
You would still encumber in thismoment.
OK then I would like could I change which evolution search
choice I may have been sure. I instead want it to be a 20

(49:53):
foot status bonus to cranberry speed.
OK. And he will be picking up Wyatt.
All right. Wyatt, You feel your feet being
taken out from under you as. Cranberry.
Just. Scoops you up into his big,
warm, rocky arms. I'm going to fucking puke again.

(50:19):
I don't puke on the big monster.What?
Roll the Fortitude save. Fortitude save.
Oh, my gosh. Yeah.
No, but what's that? No, no.
I didn't even see what I got by 43.

(50:40):
I got no. Whatever this illness is.
Oh, it's bad. This is a better physical one
guys. Better physical illness.
So as Cranberry continues booking it along Thicket, you're

(51:06):
doing your best to keep up. Unfortunately, that still is,
well, you know what actually Thicket with you keeping up and
keeping pace with Cranberry, youare able to actually seemingly

(51:30):
you don't gain any distance, butthe RNA don't seem to be gaining
any distance on you either. OK, that's good at least.
So what are you doing now that you're just running?
Oh, that's a great question. OK, I'd like to try and recall

(51:58):
knowledge. I want to know if I'm a creature
being chased through the tundra,how would I hide from a
predator? That would be a survival check.
Yes, survival check. Why?

(52:18):
Why you grew up with this place,David?
28. OK, you try your best to pull on
all of that knowledge you learned from the hunters as a
child. And the snow.
The snow is really the the basictool that everything on Salter

(52:45):
knows how to use, so there must be something you can do with the
snow. No, no, OK.
Make a snowman. Don't do that.
Ignore. Ignore the out of character

(53:05):
voice. I'm having an idea.
OK, I'd like to pull out the cooperative waffles.

(53:31):
OK. What that I've had?
For like I I think since the start of this campaign.
Now, you made those waffles, I think.
Oh, no, no, no. You bought those from Crocotuk?
I did. Yeah.
You've had those a while. All right, I'm going to.
I'm going to try to get half of them into into Wyatt's mouth.

(53:59):
What? OK.
What do they? Do you?
You watch as Thicket pulls from his bag, runs painting up behind
you as Cranberry has you slung over his shoulder in a fireman
carry. And you?
You see, thicket just just. Holding 1/2 a waffle out to you.
What the fuck is can I wait? I originally pictured this as

(54:27):
like a lady in the tramp thing where he had half the mouth.
Oh. My gosh.
That would be hilarious. So what was your question, Colby
and? Now I'm going to yell to him,
follow my lead, and then, OK, I want Cranberry to gently toss

(55:02):
Wyatt forward. OK, gently make a cranberry
lower. Check.
Don't. Fucking kill him 23.
Cranberry gives to me gentle ginger toss, actually even

(55:29):
causing you white. You spin through the air a few
times and land on your feet. A perfect fucking spiral.
Wow. Fucking puke.
And then Thicket will actually tackle Wyatt.

(55:49):
OK, Wyatt, do you? Do you allow yourself to be
tackled? I don't think I have a choice.
I am being tackled by someone literally three times by side
all right. Thinking you just dive over
Wyatt and just straight into thesnow, OK.
OK, now what I want to happen. Is sorry I I just God damn it.

(56:21):
I would like Cranberry to use gouging claw on the snow.
Interesting. I won't.
Here's what I want to happen. I want Cranberry to create a
smokescreen of snow that will then bury Wyatt and Thicket.

(56:49):
OK, why don't you make, why don't you make an attack roll
with that? Actually, you know what I would
also say, since Gouging Claw hasto target a creature, I would
say they'll probably be more of a secondary attack type of deal.
Maybe primary or secondary attack type of deal?
Works for me 1515. OK as you tackle Wyatt into the

(57:18):
snow. You.
Telepathically communicate. You're playing to Cranberry, who
without making a sound or even visually acknowledging or
anything, just Wyatt. You watch with what little you
can see through Thicket's armpit.

(57:40):
You watch as Cranberry just whips around, takes one of his
arms which just gets reefed in this blue flame and just sweeps
it across the snow behind him, putting up this just cloud of

(58:00):
snow. As the as the arm goes through
the, the snow itself vaporizes them, then almost immediately
crystallizes back up into full blown snowfall.
Oh. My gosh, do you recall

(58:22):
cranberry? I don't think so, Not yet.
Leave him out because. I just want to.
Double check how a manifest idleon works exactly.

(58:44):
OK, I'm going to have Cranberry keep going in the direction we
were going. Interesting.
That's. Smart.
I'm crying. All right, so you have
cranberry. Keep on going.
And why don't I go ahead and roll some stealth checks for you
there? Yeah, and because we did the

(59:06):
cooperative waffles. That does nothing because you're
not an expert in stealth. Son of a bitch.
All right. Well, you're in fact untrained
in itself. I tried and also I don't want to
be that guy, but if you're sick and are you allowed to eat?
You are not. Yeah.

(59:27):
Actually, in that case, why don't we get a Fortitude say
from Wyatt as well? We'll see how this effects your
hiding ability. Shut the fuck up, please.
Did I roll that? You did?
What did I get? I I can't see.
You get a 20. OK, I got a 20.

(59:49):
OK. So Wyatt, you feel the vomit
coming up and you just. Nope, Nope, Nope, not.
Now you just stuff it back down.You just like.
You know that you cannot swallowthis waffle in your mouth and
you're just trying your best to like it's like turning to
horrible, gross mush and you're just trying your best to keep it

(01:00:11):
like not like from leaving your mouth.
And at especially as snow beginsto get into your eyes thicket,
you can feel. You can feel Wyatt's chest and
stomachs like just you can feel.Don't you fucking dare.

(01:00:36):
If I right before I do it, if I can I right before about the
puke, am I allowed to hold on? This is really stupid.
But as I'm about to give away myposition right?
Yeah, yeah, you're better. Projectile vomit.
Directly into the sky. Is it possible for me to like

(01:00:56):
kill myself with eject souls? Like don't vomit.
What a statement. I I.
Am I allowed to like temporarilyjust like oh just like
unconscious my body and just notpuke?

(01:01:16):
I I sorry I just I I need a SEC to process this request.
Because if I critical fail, eject soul, my body just becomes
stud and I, I could just move mybody, I move my soul out, you

(01:01:37):
know? Right, but your body still acts
like it normally would. Since this is a reflex, I would
say that would not stop you fromvomiting.
But OK, you do manage to just push it down.
You push it down for now. OK, And you hear Thicket.

(01:01:57):
You hear the RNA speaking in Nantan saying they tried to put
up a smokescreen. Fools.
Don't they know they've got a giant flaming beast following
them? And you hear the crunching of
snow as the RNA maulers run right past you.

(01:02:26):
You believe they have gone? The once once Cranberry
approaches that 100 foot limit away from me, I think that's
when he's going to collapse intothe snow and dissipate.

(01:02:48):
Cranberry. Does just that and.
You don't hear anything, Wyatt. You don't currently.
See anything and I feel any movement in the snow like any
vibrations from them. We should go ahead and make a

(01:03:15):
survival check. 13. 13 You don'tfeel anything, but you also know
that your people are quite good at hiding those vibrations.

(01:03:46):
I can't tell if they're gone. But.
I think we lost them at least. I can check, but eventually what
let's. Just give a quick peak.
See. I I can, I can I eject my own
soul and peek out from a Hardingspot please?
Yes, yes you can. I and I just go like go lip and

(01:04:09):
I will fly up 60 feet. As why it ejects his soul.
As why it ejects his soul. Beckett you feel, you just hear
and you feel something horrible and warm just slide all down
your front as Wyatt has vomited all over your front.

(01:04:32):
Wyatt, you're no longer sickened.
Oh, Wyatt. As you push yourself up into the
sky, you look around and you canjust barely see the Maulers

(01:04:55):
disappearing over the horizon. You turn back around towards
where you think you came from. You don't see Brave Walker or
any signs of the battle. Interesting.
OK, I I after one round return all right.

(01:05:22):
I feel a lot better actually. Yeah, it seems like they're
fucking gone. Oh, Cersei's tits.
I feel so awful right now. Yeah, tell me about it.
Oh, I fucking puked all over you, Did I?
Yeah, sorry. It's all right.

(01:05:45):
It'll wash off. No, no it won't.
I got president to Tate tomorrow.
It's fine. I like that you have pressed
digitation tomorrow, not. Today, yeah.
Yeah, he's going to just be ableto do this all.

(01:06:08):
Right, so we're going to fuckinglie here for like the next three
hours or what? Let's get up.
I just. I needed a minute to catch me
breath. All right.
All right, so you stand up and yeah, thicket, the vomit just

(01:06:35):
freezes to your chest. Oh, no, I'm sorry.
That's great. And then like certain portions
of it start to melt again because of the cranberry in your
chest and then it freezes again because of the solar frost,
Melts again, freeze again. This is.

(01:06:56):
This is awful I'm can I try likewiping that off?
Yes, you get it off, but the smell is still there.
You're going to have to get a good hard bath in to get rid of
that. This is uniquely terrible.

(01:07:17):
I thicket says absolutely nobody.
Just die. The spirit of fashion Parker
appears to be like EW, what the fuck?
And then disappears. What do you do now?

(01:07:42):
Navigate. All right, all right.
I got I got a spell for this. I got a spell for this.
Fuck. Shit, I didn't prepare it.
Even if I did prepare, it doesn't work like that.
Can we go north? Like, OK, OK, are we still out

(01:08:07):
of time with with Bash and Parker?
Is that still a thing we're fucking doing?
Oh, we should go. Probably go find Bastion.
Yeah, but I felt like we're out of sync with her or something
like that, you know? I I these last few days have
been a blur. Yeah.

(01:08:29):
I I don't know what's happening.Anymore.
I missed the fucking finger, I point out the fact I've missed
the part of my fucking finger. Oh, the fuck is happening.
Oh. I forgot about that.
By the fucking way, I am legitimately shocked to turn on
a brave Walker there. I thought, I thought you were
going to go for it as and you were going to go fucking kill

(01:08:52):
me. I I'm still shocking myself.
Yeah. And I if you, if you bring that
up again, I might rethink my decision to not kill you.
So. I mean I personally just commit.
I'll just say 1 personal thing. I think that was like, do we

(01:09:16):
have do we have like time right now?
Let's just start walking that way.
And I point in in a I'm just I'monly one D8.
I'm just gonna. Follow wherever you go.
I'm gonna point in a north northeast.
I point, I point, I point in a western direction, and I hope

(01:09:39):
that's not the direction the Saber tooth went.
That is actually not the same direction that the RNA went I'm
the. RNA, sorry, the RNA, the RNA
also just in general the RNA went, yeah, let's just go that
way. And I ploy and we're going to
have this discussion as we, as we taught, let's hike and walk.
All right. Yep.

(01:10:03):
Yep. And as we walk, can we try to
obfuscate our trail? Is that possible?
Like hide your trail behind you.Hide our trail behind us, yeah.
Well, somewhat lucky for you. Depending on what perspective
you take, it actually begins snowing pretty heavily.
Oh fuck, terrible in bad. So at least your trail's

(01:10:29):
obfuscated. Yeah, OK.
I imagine as like the wind is howling, snow is falling.
We are hiking. I, I'm just going to say it.
Look, I think we're just stuck in like, you know, rocking the

(01:10:51):
hard places, right? Yeah.
I feel like that entire situation, we're just stuck in a
rock, like a really big fucking rock and a really big fucking
hard place. We didn't have much of A choice
to go between either way, yeah. It was not great circumstances.

(01:11:16):
Yeah, I truth be told, I'm still, I'm still wondering if I
made the right decision. I've been doing away that those
two right now. I feel like we could, yeah, One
hand. They're my people.

(01:11:37):
Crazy Extreme maniacs want to remove everyone who is a dub for
this Cotton dead #2 Extremely crazy maniacs who want to work
with bad people on the Cotton Dead.
But those maniacs are my family.They're my people and I've been

(01:12:03):
gone through 20 years and I didn't even.
Know. I'm sorry, which maniac are we
talking about? The non ton.
OK, OK. I thought you were talking about
the Saber too. If you're you're Fred old Fred
who knows about your past. If I if.
I could even believe him becausethey captured us.

(01:12:24):
Yeah, they did. And they were really big
assholes about it. And I'm pretty sure, I'm pretty
sure they were out to kill you, not Todd too.
If if they won then they got thefucking Soul Frost.
I just, I don't know what to think anymore.

(01:12:48):
You know, do you want an honest answer from me?
I Let's hear it. I whip out.
Do I still have any of this? I whip out.
I whip out one of my last tins of the City of Ships rum spare
not to fucking fake most of the time and just let it happen
that. Smells like good rum.

(01:13:11):
Yeah, I know. I paid a pit pretty petty for
it. And we're gonna, we're gonna
just finish this like we're gonna finish this.
Make a what? Make a deception check.
You didn't pay for it at all. It did not O21 what do?

(01:13:33):
You think Thicket? Does that beat your perception
DC? Probably.
No, it does not. Yeah.
However, I'm not going to comment on it.

(01:13:55):
Continue then. Yeah, I, I, we split.
I'm going to, I'm going to use one.
I will split the entire 10 of this stuff as we walk.
If he wants, if you want it. I took it hand it over.
That is the sound of a man who is depressed God damn well, as

(01:14:28):
you drink and walk and continue just trudging through the snow,
you're doing that for a while. You're doing that for days.

(01:14:52):
What are you doing to keep yourselves alive and busy?
How many dies from drinking? I I run it out of rations.
Bad. That's gonna lie.
We're gonna have. How many rashes do you have?
I have. I don't know how to count these.
I have two out of five. I have 5 ration total.

(01:15:13):
Like 5 rations total. So and I if you have 5 bundles
of rations. Yeah, 5 bundles I think, yeah.
So each of those has five days in it.
Oh, thank God. OK.
So the two out of five means youhave two left in that one.
So you currently have 22 servings of food left.

(01:15:33):
OK, OK we got this. OK OK, I will use two servings
of it. How do I remove a serving?
If you if you go into your into the settings of it the edit item
button and then details. Yeah, yeah.
OK, details there it is. OK.

(01:15:54):
I see how many I saw. I have two days technically
right? You've used, so that's one day.
2. Uses.
So if you're feeding both of uses and cells and that's it,
then you can just delete that one.
OK, perfect. Thank you.
OK, five out of five, delete that one.
OK, that's our day. So what do you do at night when

(01:16:19):
the cold gets that much worse? Why you start to your your beard
is freezing. Literally freezing.
I forgot your mutton chops. No, you don't even have a

(01:16:40):
goatee. You have mutton chops.
Chops. Your chops are freezing like
these. Actually frozen solid.
I don't suppose you have a fucking way to sleep tonight?
Not out in the fucking cold. I guess could we make could I

(01:17:11):
summon Cranberry and have him make a little little fire for
us? With what fuel?
Believe it or not, I have the bag full of coal.
With me. Oh my God, you.
I've also got unusual liquid in this bag.

(01:17:36):
The nature of liquid is unclear.I don't remember where we got
this. Let me let me look.
I hopefully wrote it down somewhere.
I actually don't remember where you got that.
Did you know what it does at? Least Oh, I I know what it is,
but I don't know where you got that.

(01:17:59):
Where the hell did you get that thing?
Do you want to try to identify it?
Yes. OK, cool.
Make a recall knowledge check ofyour choice.
OK, let's see. I'm going to make this survival

(01:18:23):
because I want to see if it matches any sort of like
actually I'm going to make it nature, just like figure out,
you know, what, what, what is, Is this artificial?
Is it like natural? Like what, what, what is it?
It's a 27. 27 So you give it a quick little taste, and you
might not remember where it camefrom, but as it sort of rolls

(01:18:44):
down your tongue, you realize that it's almost as if the.
It's almost as if you're suddenly like it's.
It's as if you realize you're sort of starting to glow.
A little bit. And as Cranberry sort of is next

(01:19:10):
to you, you can see, you can seelike this glow almost trying to
spread to him. And the same for Wyatt, as Wyatt
sort of like brushes up against you can see almost as if, well,
you can't see. You sort of feel almost as if
like tiny flames are licking offof your arm and towards him.

(01:19:33):
Oh my gosh, you believe this is a potion of fire?
This appears to be a potion of fire retaliation.
Now question, Am I on fire? Yeah, you look like it.
Good to know. Do you feel like you're on fire?
You seem awfully calm about it. You know, I believe it or not,

(01:19:56):
this is pretty normal for me. Right.
Yeah. So yeah, you now have a lesser
potion of fire retaliation, and you and Cranberry use your coal

(01:20:19):
to to make a little blaze, whichis enough to keep you warm, at
least for a little while. So what time is it now, roughly?
It's gotten to be pretty darn dark, so it's probably close to

(01:20:42):
like 8 or 9 at night. So what's the plan for the
morning? I mean, I can do a stream
message right now and see if if yeah, I will do a fucking dream
message right now. It's a good idea.

(01:21:04):
I'm going to cast dream message.OK?
I'm going to cast it to our dearest friend Bastian Parker.
All right. The way you framed that made it
sound like it was going to go tosomeone else at 1st and I was
like who else is he going to contact?
Thumb. It was a cloud veil.
You're a fucking asshole. You know I fucking hate you, you

(01:21:26):
bitch. All right?
I'm gonna sit here and just swear at you for the rest of the
night. I I am.
I am, you know, 100. And 40 words that I get.
With this spell are gonna be fuck yeah, I'm gonna.
I'm gonna tell you the most awful shit possible, all right?
I'm gonna I'm gonna go for the details of pancreatic cancer,

(01:21:49):
all right? I hope you just go all the way.
I I'm going to. I'm going to explain to you the
details of how you fix a fix a test for the test test portion.
Yeah. How do you fix it?
Right. It's not you're not going to be
happy about it. I just remembered if I did do
that, this this is what the first character I ever had in

(01:22:11):
your campaign. Did he?
Yeah, remember, he, he suddenly I want it that way by the
Backstreet Boys. Oh.
My God, I completely forgot thathe did that.
That's the main villain too. That was hilarious.
That wasn't even the main villain.
You guys never even met the mainvillain.
Never. Oh, that's a whole other.
Story that's a whole other storythat's a candid to this, but by

(01:22:35):
the way, that's still candid right now.
The main villain still is out there.
That's a different universe. That's a that was a Forgotten
Realms campaign, so. Yeah, but wasn't isn't like the
the Blades for hire here too anyway?
The audience doesn't know that. Yeah, we will all be OK.
OK, no comment. The.
Audience blades for hire ease. The audience will hear about
that on a Talking Diet Shell episode someday, I'm sure.

(01:22:57):
Someday, someday let's I will contact bastard Parker and why
it's going to say bad things happened.
Made enemies out of Elizabeth, Cloud Vale, Saber, 2 freighters,
literally all of them. The RNA specifically Brave

(01:23:21):
Walker. We really pissed him off.
He wants a soul Frost. You meet any of them, do not
trust any of them, period. I still got a few extra words on
this so I'm going to just completely talk about what
happened and what's going on andwhy is this going to talk about

(01:23:41):
what the fuck just happened? Now, Bastion, how far does he
get? Actually, probably not terribly.
150 words. Yeah.

(01:24:02):
You get through like the basics in a minute.
Yeah, yeah, OK. I'll live with that.
So Wyatt, you feel the message has been sent, and bastard, you
receive that message the second the heart shuts up, that wake

(01:24:28):
you up. You bolt upright, sweating
profusely. I'm going to reach out and shake
Don Collar awake. Just got a dream message from

(01:24:49):
Wyatt. From from who the.
Doctor Fellow. I'm so glad I'm so.
Glad that call me the little one.
I thank, thank you, thank you. He's alive.
Wait, that means he's alive? They're both alive.

(01:25:10):
OK, that's good. She like rubs her.
Eyes off your father. OK, that's not so great, but you
know what? They managed to survive.
You know what? Baby the Saber tooths as well.
Well, one of those things, there's a bit of a descending
order there, and frankly, my father's the worst.

(01:25:33):
I think so. You know what?
Probably we're. Right, we are currently maybe a
day or two to the South of. I'm, I'm trying to Orient where

(01:25:58):
you would be right now. Actually, we.
Have to Orient the map. I think if I'm reading the stars
correctly then we're probably a few days South of Rock.

(01:26:22):
Do you know where they were roughly?
Not really, I think they were fairly close to Yagwal.
But that's really all I've gotten.

(01:26:44):
If I send them a message what what do they need to know?
Well, I suppose tell them, tell them to tell them to go to rock
if they can. If they've made an enemy of

(01:27:05):
Elizabeth, then that's probably the safest place for them to be.
I'll tell them to make their wayto rock and meet us there.
All right. Is that everything?
Huh. Is that everything?

(01:27:26):
At the current moment, I'll let you know if more horrors appear
in my dreams. All right, sounds good.
At this point, she's basically already back to sleep all.
Right, I'm going to dream message the bloke himself.
Wyatt, Glad to hear you chaps are alive.

(01:27:53):
Don Calder came to find me and tell me that the chief went
crazy. So glad to hear we're not allied
with him. We're a couple days South of
Rock. Make your way there, we'll meet
you and we can come up with the next move, I said.

(01:28:15):
Wyatt, go back to bed. All right.
All right, Wyatt, you received that message.
I translate out to thicket. Thicket, you know, also received
that message. All right, well, good to know

(01:28:42):
Bastion's alive. Yep.
Get moving then. How do we get there?
Where? Where the fuck are we?
That's a great question. Yeah, I don't think we're going
anywhere until we know where we are, honestly.

(01:29:03):
Now, using my knowledge of the wilderness and of the snow, can
I tell by the snow which region of the tundra we're in?
Like like if there are any like variations in like the
consistency of the wetness of snow between regions?

(01:29:25):
Is there anything travel check that I can gleam from the snow?
That's a nap 1. OK.
And that's 20 for a total of 30.So you.
I know my quadrants. Feel the snow for a minute and
it's cold, solid, almost like a solid sheet of ice, like maybe 2

(01:29:57):
inches thick. This kind of a a crust most
often happens in the northerly regions close to home actually.
We're somewhere in the north, near crucial actually.

(01:30:23):
Or I guess Yogwa now. Hey, I want to go visit an old
Fred. That'd be funny.
Kidding. I'm kidding.
That's did Bastian say where sheis.
She's two days South of I fucking forgot the name, I'm

(01:30:46):
sorry. Rock.
Rock of Rock. OK.
Do I know where that is relativeto Yagwal?
You have never heard of A Place Called Rock, OK.
Oh my gosh, you're you're a man at a time.
Wyatt However, you would be fairly aware of Rock.

(01:31:11):
It is the westernmost settlementon the Owen River.
It is also you. Remember.
It it is the settlement where actually you remember that
Morgrim has been living prior tothis whole mess.

(01:31:33):
It's I, I translate that over toFicket and I say, do you know
where the fucking river is? At least from where we are?
Is it SI? Imagine it's South.
Do I know where the river is? Probably South.
I it's South, Yeah, it's. South.
All right. If it's South, then yeah, it's

(01:32:01):
South we go, I guess. Oh, and are just real quick.
Are we considered having rested for the night?
No. OK, good job.
No, Wyatt woke himself and you up for this conversation.
All right, so here's the question.
Do we go South now? Where do we go in the morning?

(01:32:26):
We go in the morning, I'm going back to.
Say fuck you. No, I'm we're on the same.
Page, let's go, go to bed. Good night.
So all three of you awaken in the morning alive and I hesitate

(01:32:48):
to say well, but definitely alive.
It why as you wake up it appearsthat during your slumber.
Well. There's a lot of blood

(01:33:11):
everywhere. It appears that something maybe
tried to sneak up on you and Cranberry has ripped it to
pieces. Oh.
That's a fucking problem. It is completely unidentifiable
what this thing was. And Thicket, you were not woken

(01:33:40):
up for this. Am I still asleep?
Sure. I would say Wyatt wakes up maybe
a little bit earlier than you. I think.
I think we're sleeping too heavily, Thicket.

(01:34:01):
I kick him awake. You see that?
Who's that for? Hang on, hang on.
Yeah. You awake yet That I pointed the
giant track mark of gore and flesh and and round horse.

(01:34:25):
I'd imagine the black man cannotsee brother right?
There's a large pile of gore andI think Cranberry just destroyed
whatever thing was was out here that tried to sneak up on us.

(01:34:47):
Ah, I see. No, you don't see.
We just went over this. No, I, I I know.
I guess I like to feel around the gut, see if I can identify
what it was. Oh.
Well, you already got vomit on me, all right, this is.

(01:35:09):
By the way, do we rest up? Do we have any?
Rest up, you are fully rested now.
Oh God. I'm not.
I should totally take President Chase to do that.
Am I still wounded? I figured yes.
OK. I'm going to redo my spells.
So thicket you feel around to try to figure out what this was,

(01:35:34):
and you might as well just be making snowballs.
There's nothing. No fire, no teeth, just blood.
This is. I mean, I'm not going to say,

(01:36:02):
I'm not going to say anything. I did a pretty good job.
I'm fucking happy that I'm not eaten alive right now.
I, you know, it's, it's quite a good job.
It's what it is. And I guess thank you, Cranberry

(01:36:25):
for protecting us. Let's walk, yeah.
OK, and Bastion. As you awaken, sunlight streams

(01:36:50):
through the tent. You look over and Dawn Caller is
nowhere to be seen with the tentflaps waving open in the wind.
Very quickly get out of the tentand start looking around trying
to locate her. You very quickly hop out of the
tent and there is Don Caller, having made a new fire,

(01:37:15):
seemingly making a pot of coffee.
Real coffee. Not frost coffee.
Real coffee. Judging by the smell, at least.
I'm going to go over and I'm going to take over making
whatever breakfast thing she has.
Hi. There's one thing I know how to
make is coffee. All right?

(01:37:36):
I've gotten pretty darn good at that.
Well. We have to eat other things with
the coffee generally. Do we?
Do we really? I keep being told it's a
biological necessity. All right, fine.
It is is that. My.

(01:37:59):
Liver. That was your liver.
All right. Roman, that's a good start to
your day. I think you should take a piss
first before you do anything else.
So what do you propose we eat then, Master?
Well. What ingredients do you have?

(01:38:22):
Ingredients. Magic food it is.
I have a spell for this. I know I have a spell for this.
I just. Need to all food baby.
Use all food. Actually you have to use all
food. Eat your sword.
I'm going to cast create food. Aw.

(01:38:44):
OK, you create food. Enough food to six feed 6 medium
creatures for a day. So you make bland and
unappealing but nourishing food.It's probably oatmeal to be
honest. It is the blandest oatmeal

(01:39:06):
you've ever tasted in your life.It's water.
When we have. Oh dear, amazing ingredients.
This is so really divine. I don't need this from a woman
who didn't add salt to beans. Listen, I never said I was a

(01:39:34):
good cook. No, you didn't, which is why I
was going to take over, but apparently we don't have any
rations or anything. Well, we do have more beans, but
apparently you don't like my beans.
We don't salt them. Well, I don't have salt.
How am I supposed to salt the beans if I don't have salt?

(01:39:54):
Well, now we have nutritional mush.
And how delicious that nutritional mush is currently.
Not the same as. I could not imagine anything
better than Nutra Mush. You should really sell that.
You know Nutra. Mush.
By Bash and Parker. Oh yeah.

(01:40:15):
Oh yeah. I bet it had to do the real
rounds over in Gallinad. They love that there.
I'll open a shack where I sell nutritional mush to the citizens
gallon. Perfect absolutely bang up idea,
honestly. We've run out of town.

(01:40:36):
You did kill Herman, Please. So you know what did you?
Owe me. They'll give you my.
Nutritional Mush. It'll give you a fair shake at
the very least. Maybe just have like a little
condiment bar on the side? Oh what?
What condiment would you recommend on this?
Oh, I don't know anything. What's that?

(01:40:59):
What's that stuff that I've heard?
It's imported. It's red.
It's little sweet, little tangy.I think that's what they called
it. Yes.
Yes. Yes, yes, yes.
That'll go. That'll go great on this I bet.

(01:41:20):
Oh yes, I I can, I can imagine it now.
Just the the sliminess with the mush would really bind it
together with that little bit ofextra umfur it really needs.
All right, I'll leave all of thecooking to you until we get to
rock, and then we can pay some other idiot to do it.

(01:41:43):
I am fully in support of that, honestly, fully in support.
I've not actually had to cook for myself in years, so yeah.
You're not meant for it. Truly.
Not clearly. Not meant for it at all.

(01:42:04):
So you finish your nutramush andDon collar very quickly breaks
down camp fitting everything, fitting everything into one bag

(01:42:28):
which she then slings over her shoulder.
All right then up this way we gojust.
Follow along. All right, you do indeed follow
along. Probably around 2 days or so
depending on if we take if we walk through the night, which

(01:42:52):
I'm perfectly happy to do, but Iget the feeling you'll probably
want to sleep at some point or another.
Do. Not.
Sleep depends, right? Well, the sooner we get there,

(01:43:16):
better chance we have of intercepting the others before
horrible things come so. All right then, through the
night we go through the. Night.
So you and Don Caller continue walking and walking and walking.

(01:43:38):
What do you talk about, if anything, during this period of
time? Imagine we would tell stories
from the the incidents of the travel we had.
Oh, I tell her that I ran into what's his bucket again?

(01:44:03):
What's his bucket? Oh right, yes, yes, yes, your
your mummified friend. Yeah.
Sanar. Yeah, that's his bucket.
Really. I'd forgotten all about Sonar.
Almost. I feel terrible.
Yes, well, I don't think I'll berunning into him again in this

(01:44:23):
life, so. Ah well that's probably OK.
He's all crumbly and such. Keep talking about weird moon
things. Yes, I don't think much has
changed on that front, but you know.

(01:44:46):
Oh well, all right. And Wyatt and Thicket, would the
two of you be traveling through the night as well?
Or would you would you be stopping to sleep?
That's a good question. I feel like we might be honking
some shoes. Yeah.

(01:45:06):
I agree, gotta gotta preserve our our energy, OK?
OK. I love the phrase honking some
shoes. Oh, I use it all the time.
That's two meals out, two days of food out, right?
Yes, that's another two meals. There we go.
So. So yeah, Bastion, as you get to

(01:45:32):
your first night, damn, are you tired?
And Dawn Caller is somehow, she somehow just keeps on going and
going and going. I'm a stubborn asshole, so I'm
not going to say sleep, I'm justgoing to keep walking.
OK, like fortitude save? Actually, you know what?

(01:45:55):
Right now I'm. Going to call it a wheel save A.
Wheel Save. So we'll just add your bonus to
that 15. 15 + 1429 three. Nine.
OK, yeah, you will yourself to keep on going.
You feel like you have to prove yourself a little bit here.
Am I incorrect in saying that? Oh no, that's totally it.

(01:46:19):
Got to prove you can hang. So yeah, you followed Don Caller
through the night. And as the sun rises, your eyes
feel like they're about to fall out of your head and your face
just feels all droopy and you'rereally struggling to keep your

(01:46:43):
eyes open, but you're pushing onthrough.
Dawn collar turns. She looks like she's maybe
gotten a little bit of sleep starting to creep up on her.
All right, we're getting closer.Sorry, I'm getting a little,

(01:47:06):
little bushed. How are you doing?
Oh, I'm great. How are you now?
Don't. Even feel it.
Oh, that's so great. They can probably pick up the
pace then, can't we? Yep.
Yeah, yeah. Definitely.

(01:47:29):
And if I told you that it might be a decent idea to stop for
breakfast, you absolutely hate that idea.
I mean, stop and take a break and have a little water, have a
little coffee. I.
Would never want to prevent you from taking a break that you
feel that you need. Oh no, no, no, I wouldn't want

(01:47:50):
to prevent you from taking a break you feel you need.
I mean, if it if it's important to you, we can stop.
Oh no, no, truly, I could do without.
Well, in that case, we can just,we can just keep going.
Oh, we can. All right, then keep on going.
Michelle, if you change your mind, just, you know, let me

(01:48:13):
know if it's the right time to do so for you.
She says with a massive smirk. That's.
Just going to keep hiking. So you do in fact keep on going

(01:48:38):
and Wyatt and Thicket you continue doing the same.
On your end. Things are fairly uneventful the
the snow. Animal got murdered.
Actually, no. Things are pretty extremely
quiet, at least for the first orfor the next night.
The following night, Wyatt, you wake up at one point and

(01:49:02):
Cranberry is gone. That's frightening.
Just. Completely gone.
Cranberry is gone, huh? What do you what do you mean?
Your damn century's gone, do youworry?
He is no. He's he's still there.

(01:49:26):
Is he still there? I think it says that you look
back up and yeah, he's he's right there.
The fuck's happening? You're OK, let's just go back to
sleep. Fucking seeing things right now.
Probably. Footprints you're seeing?

(01:49:46):
Am I fucking seeing things rightnow?
You rub your eyes and Cranberry is gone again.
Are you playing a fucking prank on me?
I'm not doing anything to you. I wrap a snowball and I throw it
to the area where I where I lastsaw cranberry.

(01:50:12):
Roll the head. We'll call this an unarmed
strike. Arm Strike Range 2.
That's a mistake. Oh yeah.
That was. A critical fumble?

(01:50:33):
Yeah, That was a 1, yes. Range snap string.
OK, so that does nothing. Damn unfortunate.
That snowball. Crumbles in your hand.
Fuck, fuck, I'm going back to bed.
If I die, I fucking die. As you as the snowball crumbles

(01:50:54):
and you look back up after trying to sort of pull it back
together, Cranberry is back again.
Not going to fucking think aboutthat.
Not going to think about it. You're creeping me out.
Good work. Bye bye.
Oh, you would clip you out wouldindeed.
That would be the kind of thing to freak you out.
Why God? Fucking damn it.

(01:51:16):
I mean, Wyatt hears this. Wyatt actually does scream like
a little girl. Thicket does not hear this.
Thicket does not hear this scream.
And Wyatt, you look back up and Cranberry now has Jontique's
face. Oh fuck.

(01:51:36):
That's fucking what? Are you here for?
What are you here for? Huh.
Oh as usual I am ill to see how this story is playing.
Out. There to get the perspective of
the characters it was. Made a.
Really pleasant. Dramatic choice doing way back
there. Really interesting indeed.
Honestly I was not expecting it and yet I am so impressed.

(01:52:01):
This this. PS Tolis the stones of what Jean
Thiek is looking for. This is a real dramas, a real
narrative. Yeah, I strive.
To find cool. So you're going to fucking give
us a Riddle and a cool item or you're just going to disappear
again? Oh, Liddell, Liddell Zone.

(01:52:26):
No, I do not have need for that kind of game.
However, I do have another game for you to play.
What comes next, huh? What is your next goal?
The RNA owns this land. And what says that they don't
know exactly? Where you are and the Cloudvails

(01:52:50):
own everything. The RNA do not.
So what are you going to do? You are now haunted by everyone
who owns everything. That's a good question.
Will the great Wyatt excommunicate dude?

(01:53:14):
It's a great fucking question was because we can get for the
past How long has it been like month, two months yeah, I just
been waiting it if I was with the mate No, we probably just
like go South as possible, catcha ship, maybe go somewhere nice
here. Passage is good.

(01:53:35):
Actually, no, I strike that it'snot very good right now.
What is stopping you? What is stopping you from
Sachin? Escape.
I doubt I can escape. I got a fucking a family now, so
you know that that's always that's got to go for me.
I got a spiritual calling to a fuck shit up here in solar.

(01:53:57):
So, you know, that's what I'm going to do for until I
hopefully, hopefully not die. Also, I kind of want to see
Elizabeth Cloudville kill. That's another thing.
But that's a that's a different fucking story because she's a
Dick. Valley Intelestine indie Jean

(01:54:24):
Teague is gone. Beckett.
What is it? I just had a conversation with
Jean Thick. Thicket as Wyatt says this, you
roll over and you see Jean Thique in Wyatt's in like where

(01:54:47):
Wyatt's voice is coming from is instead Jean Thique's face.
Oh, hi. Now this is so dramatic.
What a true event you are experiencing, huh?

(01:55:09):
What a what a what a choice you have made betraying your people.
Or was it really a betrayal? Huh?
Oh. Yeah, very curious, very curious
your motivations here, my. Friend.
Well, you can stay curious because I I'm not in the mood to

(01:55:32):
talk about this, at least of allwith.
You. Mr. Is that so?
Is that so? Oh, oh, how terrible, sick cat,
how terrible. How could you be so mean to your
old friend Jean Tic le Matimo? Deprive him of his only pleasure

(01:55:55):
of your story brings a tear to my eye.
Oh, well, then, I suppose. Guess I will.
And I suppose that means you don't want anything that Jean
Tig could have to tell you. What does Jean Tig?

(01:56:21):
Have to tell me. Oh, no, no, no, you don't want
to hear what John Dick has to say about the solution to all of
your problems. Oh no, no, no, you don't want to
hear what John Dick has to say. You're not in the mood.

(01:56:41):
What is it you want, John Dick? Oh, oh, I want to see the story
play out. I want to see the narrative that
is all Jean Tyque ever has wanted.
But no, no secret is so, so on the offense today.

(01:57:06):
Truly sad. And to think, I was about to
tell you exactly how to prevent this whole mess from getting
into a bigger snowball. From telling you exactly how you
can use this sort of force to prevent anything bad from ever
happening to. You help me this.

(01:57:32):
Safety to this and to everyone else.
I I get what you're playing at. You're saying that you'll tell
me that if I tell you how I'm feeling?
I could, but no, you said you were not in the mood.

(01:57:58):
And Jean Thique. Jean Thique respects the world.
No, Jean Thique is gone. I hate him, that lost bastard,
you all. When I get my hands on him, I'm

(01:58:19):
going to make that. What did you remember when we
found that little pile of viscera on the ground?
I want to say yesterday or however however long ago it's
been at this point. Because the days were just.
Blended together, I'm going to make.

(01:58:40):
That. Look like a.
Little bottle on the ground whenI got my hands on Chantique.
Why you don't know what thicket is talking about?

(01:59:02):
I mean, I, I believe you just had a fucking conversation with
Chantique. Who's Chantique?
Why? You don't know who this
Chantique person is? What fuck you talking about?
Pick it. Oh.
The. Hell, is he on?

(01:59:26):
What? I wouldn't go back to fucking.
I don't know why you woke me up.It's he's the, the weird guy,
the, the, the masked man who's been stalking us and.
Bane. Who's?

(01:59:50):
Ben, it's. The Best Buy the first scenary.
I see. OK.
What if you can't just stay on my plane?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. They did not care I was until I

(02:00:13):
put on the mask. Oh, Jesus.
Christ, they didn't fly so good.Anyway, back, back to the
moment. The best mate, the best man.
Look, I don't know why the fuck you woke me up, is I?

(02:00:36):
I just feel the fucking eye. I'm fucking freezing my ass off
here. I don't know who the fuck you're
talking about either. I'm going to go to bed.
Yeah. Gonna die.
Wyatt is pissed. That figure would just wake him

(02:00:57):
up and just tell him about this weird thing or whatever the hell
was he doing. And the next morning, upon
waking Wyatt, you remember your encounter with Chantique.
Well, you don't remember. It's telling Thicket you don't
know who Chantique. Is Thicket Buckett Saw Chantique

(02:01:23):
last night, No. No, the fuck?
Who's Chantique? Who's Chantique?
Sorry, did you say something? Yo fucking John Teague living
them in the minimum on or whatever the fuck his name is.
I'm sorry, did you say somethingabout a lemon tree?

(02:01:44):
Yeah, no, no, the guy, you know,the masked man.
Ben. Stay character.
Stay character. No, the fucking, the, the masked
mercenary. No, not that fucking guy.
It's, it's, it's him. It's the, the, the clown guy,

(02:02:05):
but the mask and he speaks to that weird French accent.
You have French's right. The word we behave up with.
No. Oh fuck it, you know exactly
what French is. Oh wait, yes, I know exactly
what. It's what you call some, it's
what you call, it's what you guys have been calling things
that are completely unexplainable.
All right. Yeah, that's what we call things

(02:02:26):
that are completely unexplainable.
Yes, OK, that's a step in the right fucking direction, this
guy. All right, Jaunty.
Do you know who Jaunty is right now?
No. Fuck, that sounds exactly what
some he'd fucking do. I I haven't the slightest what
you're talking about. Neither of you actually have any

(02:02:52):
idea what you've been talking about.
You. You don't really know why you're
staring at each other right now,actually.
Have we started the fire? What's the fire?
It's actually the morning, so the fire is firmly out.

(02:03:18):
Oh, the fire rises. Who are you?
Oh my. Oh, actually I don't remember my
name. I just.
I just remembered that. This is correct.
You don't remember your name? Oh am I.
Oh, OK, OK. I take out the, I take out the

(02:03:41):
card, I take out our standard index card, and I walk him
through his name with skew. It's our morning routine now.
It's that. Like 51st dates, Like videotape.
If you imagine you pulled the videotape, you might not know
what's happened. But my name is Pickett and every

(02:04:01):
day, every morning, I forget my name.
And after that, you continue on with your journey, with both of
you remembering that you had your conversations,
conversations with Jeantique andfully under the impression that

(02:04:21):
you've talked to each other about it.
John T just played a bastard prank on us, didn't he?
When does it he? Yeah, so back to Bastion and Don

(02:04:41):
Collar. The two of you continue trudging
through the snow for another full day and night, no breaks at
all. Yeah.
Make a fortitude save. Funny, funny.

(02:05:07):
You are so goddamn determined, Bastion.
You don't care how tired you get, how much you're slowing
down. You are going to make it through
this. You are going.
To. Prove whatever it is you're
trying to prove, Don Caller turns around as the sun begins

(02:05:32):
to set. Hi.
How you doing back there? Still, you've been a little
quiet. Still doing all right.
Are. We great Ayushil Sejeantique who
has replaced Don Caller's face. And when I say replace Don

(02:05:53):
Caller's face, I mean an entire full size Jean teak has sprouted
from Jean, from Don Caller's face.
It's, you know, classically. Horrific.
Yeah. That's new.
I don't think you've done this before.

(02:06:15):
Oh well, have I open up? See.
There's some things that this happened again, you might.
Be right on. I'm tired.
You are very tired. I see that.
And why is it that you are wearing yourself out like this?
I must know the motivation it feels.

(02:06:38):
Quite foolish not to stop. And rest, even for a moment.
Especially when you could be losing your senses.
Think of all of the. The.
Signs that you could be missing right now because you are so
tired and your perception is dulled doesn't.

(02:07:06):
Make any sense? I just, I don't want to lose.
I don't want to have to say I'm tired and we need to rest.
And I've definitely already lostthe rest of this conversation.
And losing, Losing is quite challenging for you as someone

(02:07:32):
who has lost everything at leastonce already.
Bastian, Pacquiao, what to do with you?
What are your goals here? I must know.
I am so. Curious what?
What is it that you're out desires from the future?

(02:08:00):
The damn continent. Bring her with me.
Not be fucking terrified. That would be nice.
That would be nice, wouldn't it?It really would be.
And what if Shantik told you that he could make all of that

(02:08:22):
happen? That's the cost.
Oh, there is no cost. You simply have to do what you
are already doing, or even that tell.
You have to do what Don Collare he's telling you to do.

(02:08:47):
You have to follow. Through with your goals that she
has presented you with to destroy the Sol Frost.
Do you know how to destroy the Soul cross?
Of course I do, but narrative would be so much more
interesting if I had to witness you figure that out for

(02:09:09):
yourselves. Can.
You tell me where I have to go to figure it out.
Bastian, Pacquiao, I cannot tellyou.
And unfortunately, Siket says that he's not in the mood.
So I suppose that is informationthat will simply have to wait.

(02:09:36):
I suppose you will simply have to investigate yourself.
What shape truly Siket has held Zontik's feelings so much?
Jerk couldn't even get us the information.
No, no he could not. The information the.

(02:10:00):
Stone. The informations that they can
give you, however. Is that you are going to have a
very interesting few days. Well.
Bastian, Bastian, are you all right?
You remember that, that French bloke?

(02:10:25):
No, it's. A long story.
We should. We should take a rest.
Really. OK.
All right. Thank you for bringing that up.
I'm proud of you for admitting you needed to take a second.

(02:10:47):
Good on you on your feet or anything like that.
Oh, I'm I'm just suggesting it because you you look tired and I
would I would be a real. Jerk, if I she walking in this
state, she chuckles. Collapse.
You on the back. Which almost knocks you over.

(02:11:07):
And she lays out. She lays out.
Her bedroll on the ground. Why don't you just take it, take
a light hand for a moment. You insist if it'll make you
feel better. Oh, but it's truly, it's really

(02:11:30):
what? But only of course, if you need
to. I lay down on the bedroom, you
lay down on the bedroll and. Your head doesn't even hit.
The pillow before you are out like a light.

(02:11:51):
The next morning, you all continue your journeys stomping.
Through the snow. Another light.
Snow begins from the clouds. Clouds are actually darkening.

(02:12:13):
The sky quite a bit today. As you all.
Smell the water. What?
Do you mean the water? You smell the water as.

(02:12:35):
A town. Comes into view, and that is
where we're going to end. Tonight's session as you all
approach. Rock so thicket.
How are you feeling? Terrified.
I want to kill just just somebody.

(02:13:00):
I don't remember who, but somebody.
You fully. Remember who Chantique is.
Now I want to kill Chantique Lamacchino violently.
And Wyatt? How are you feeling I Wyatt has.

(02:13:29):
Is confused, pissed and. Just angry in general and.
Bastion, how are you feeling? So gay, so stupid.
Your left toe. Is like come on come on you can

(02:13:52):
do it. How are we all feeling as
players? So gay, so stupid.
Good fucking Lord. Kofi.

(02:14:16):
And y'all know how are you 2 feeling?
Not crazy, that was that was interesting just getting away
the. RP that was fun.
I enjoyed it. Yeah, that was fun stuff.
I didn't think we were going to get away for a second there.
Yeah, it was pretty close, Wyatt.
Firmly. Almost.
Projectile vomited. Into the sky.

(02:14:38):
Yeah. Yeah, it was beautiful.
Really. Yeah.
Honestly, like a fireworks display.
Baby, you're fine. I can't believe like us.
Thing of projectile. Vomit.
Just. Shoots up I I cannot believe we
actually got the Bane post to get an episode.

(02:14:59):
Of Sola Frost. Fuck, what the Hell's wrong with
us? Not the Bane post.
No comment. We want to give a special shout.
Out to our. First member on Buy.
Me a coffee, Jane Meyer. Thank you so much for your
support, Jane. It really means the world.
