Hey there, I hope you're havinga great week. Overworked and Underplayed is
a not safe for work Dungeons andDragons actual play podcast about a group of
incredible young professionals who find themselves transportedto a strangely familiar place full of fantasy
and magic. See you attached forepisode description and content warnings. Talk soon,
and thanks for listening. Thank youfor joining me on Travaria News Network.
(00:24):
I'm Susie Amanda here to tell youabout the news. Let's take you
to our sports correspondent, Hickory Smokesover to you, Hickory, Thank you,
Amanda. Yes, it's a beautifulday out here at the Trevaria Downs
where we're getting ready to start withthe third round of the semi annual Death
Race. It's a very very excitingpacked field today. There's a few crowd
(00:49):
favorites in the running today. Wegot Maximus and Ajax, but everyone's favorite
seems to be Valeria Thunderclap, thedwarf warlock with a penchant for ramming the
competition. Ha ha ha. Sooh, hold on, it looks like
we're about to get started. They'reabout to go oh in, Thunderbolt Express
(01:11):
takes the lead, followed by thecentaur with no name with galloping glory in
hot pursuit. Oh my goodness,a javelin just barely missed the centaur's rider.
I think that okay? Moving on? She quickly responds with her own
blast of ice. Oh my goodness, can you believe it? Oh?
(01:32):
This has been a very exciting startto the race, and I cannot wait
to see its conclusion. Thank youfor your report, Hickory. We'll be
back at ten with the results.Greetings, my paid unpaid interns. I'm
(01:57):
Alex Capps. You're DM or districtman and this is overworked and underplayed.
A D and D podcast, FourYoung Professionals Buy Young Professionals today's icebreaker.
What has been the worst received giftyou've ever given someone? What Up?
It's your boy? Marcel Hardy playingRichard Cox, a human consultant turned halfling
bard who holy believes it's better tobe lucky than good, but it's best
(02:21):
to be both. And a giftthat was received the worst that Richard has
given was probably season tickets. Isthat what it's called a season pass to
six Flags? He was going outwith this girl and they went on a
couple of days. He thought itwas going really well. I was like,
oh, I'm spending like she's spendingall this money. Maybe we should
both have season passes. And thenthey broke up. She's spending all this
(02:45):
money on you both to go toSeasblas. So she's paying for the dates.
She's paying for her. He hashis season pass. It doesn't make
sense and so since she's going too, opens up a whole line of questioning
as to why Richard would have aseason best just six flags. Is he
a roller coaster enthusiast? He does? Okay, I'm pretty sure it's come
up before it has has it?Oh? Well, serves me. Hello,
(03:07):
I'm annelin Hardy and I play TaylorJacobs, a centaur barbarian with the
articles. The gift is that shelike spent a lot of money making a
like plaque that's like super cute forCrystal, as like a client gift and
it's like best client ever or somethingsuper cheesy and cute like that. And
(03:28):
so what was Crystal like? Ididn't want to say clearly it wasn't well
received, because that's the situation.I feel like Crystal would say thank you,
but in the adoring fan kind ofthank you, Like if you're some
(03:49):
sort of pop star and your personcomes up with a T shirt and it's
got their name and your name andthey give it to you and you're like,
oh thanks, and she just likeputs it away. So Taylor's like,
yes, yeah, I did cutehopefully. Hi everyone, I'm Katie
and I play Crystal the Drowdruid withher very own MLM Crystal Clarity. And
(04:13):
the least well received gift that Crystalhas given that she did not know was
not well received is the leveling giftshe gives to her downline. So,
hey, I'm Marchie. I playAmy and Amanda, a basic beat,
rough and tumble human fighter with afreshly minted dentistry degree. Ooh okay,
(04:38):
So the the worst received gift thatshe has given when she just started out
in her grad school, she madeher sister something as like what else best
sister is like her youngest sister rightafter her And it was a plaque made
out of plaque. Oh, itmade out of it. I'll pause at
(05:03):
how brilliant that is. We learnedabout an hour ago. I was like,
how did she even know how tomake something out of plaque? Okay,
sorry, go ahead, idea collectingit And this is what I meant
by all of the crafting opportunities tostop you right here. I don't want
to know anything further. Okay,all right. It just wasn't well received
(05:27):
at that, probably because it waskrusty. I didn't come up with the
idea until you said, plaque kindof quality of him. Tyler played the
Paladin and Bentley is. The worstreceived gift was the gift of advice of
(05:53):
the user that was particularly bad atremembering their passwords, so he suggested maybe
using a password manager. That wayyou only have the one to remember.
And they thought that he was callingthem an idiot, which she was there,
but he thought he was doing itin a nice helpful way, like,
oh, there's this great tool whereyou can use it. It's a
password manager. Yeah, it's allprotected and crypti but it greets a super
(06:15):
long password. It's much more secure. It'd be great for you. But
they saw through him and realized thathe was calling him memor and wanted them
to stop calling him. Every week. Hey, listeners, this show is

last left off, the death Racehad begun, Spears had flown, javelins
(06:59):
had grazed heads those some had stumbledbut did not fault. We did not
follow your correct Dragons are struggling,and the Unicorn is catching up with the
ram and the Centaur. I justwant you to know that I know a
person who has a pony named rainbowFire, and that's what I wanted to
name the Unicorn. You guys hadcome to a fork in the road and
(07:23):
decided to take the road less traveled. I asked you at the end of
the last session to make a roll. I need Taylor Jacobs to roll a
dexterity saving throw, and then Ineed Crystal to make an animal handling check.
So Crystal, you will not havethe D four. You did that
on purpose. I did do thaton purpose. It's almost like I'm the
(07:45):
DM. Everything I do is onpurpose. Almost thanks You're God, which
is fine, okay, little G, Little G, you're a god.
I mean one of many. Inthe lore setting, there's the okay,
Ben, there's the idea. Actually, hey, do you want me to
call tour and see what he thinksabout this? Do we get the D
(08:07):
four for this one? You do? I don't? I got an eighteen
eighteen? Good? What did TaylorJacobs get twenty twenty one? Okay?
So as you step onto the bridge, like, as you head that way
towards the wooden bridge over the tarpit, you hear Valaria and Astrid both
(08:28):
kind of laugh. They're like amateurgoing for the bait. And as you
guys step onto the bridge, youfeel that it begins to wobble as it
is secured only down the middle.So you're balancing your way through this.
Your twenty one saved you? Okay? And would my you grip her horse
(08:50):
body tight as you almost fall offas she begins rocking back and forth as
she's going across. Would you considerthis difficult terrain as Crystal's grip to hold
tight? You would see the taris bubbling. It is very hot.
Yell all right, So that isgoing to slow you guys down just a
(09:16):
little bit. And so as you'recarefully crossing this bridge, you look back
and you would actually see Ajax takehis great acts and removes Maximus's head from
his shoulders as he tries to passhim, and you hear over the announcement
thunderhoof. Oh that's one down today. I hope nobody or feel bad for
(09:39):
anybody betting on Maximus swift Wind.You can go ahead and count him out
for the rest of today's matches andforever. Honestly, Oh well, come
down down there. I grab Igrab on to Richard's like shins on either
(10:05):
side of my on my shoulders.Oh my god, is there anything we
can do? They're gonna die downthere, you guys. So what you
guys would see some of the peoplein the crowd start cheering, like a
Jax Jax, Hey, Jaxy Jax. I think we're in the wrong fan
section. It's kind of crazy thatwe don't have a fan section. It's
(10:28):
kind of crazy that Ajax was ableto kill him. He had ten to
one odds and the dude he killedhad four to one. It happened.
He's really clean and eye them underdogsman inspiration, all right. So you
guys would see that Valeria and Astridkeep fighting back and forth with swords,
(10:50):
and that's going to slow them downto where as you guys get off of
the bridge and get back up ontosolid ground. You guys are all four
neck and neck, Taylor to tellyou where you're at. You are at
the far end of the line,next to Ajax, and then Astrid,
and then Valeria is at the oppositeend of this of this line from you.
(11:13):
So you have swapped sides of thetrack you were on. So we're
not on the inside lane, we'reon the you're on the inside. Now
we're on the outside. To beginan agent behind us, Ajax is dead
set alongside you, and you seeas the Goliath turns his head and looks
at you, and he does likea menacing like drags his thumb across his
neck looking at you. Okay,I'm gonna cast moonbeam. Oh okay,
(11:39):
I'm gonna make sure because it's afive foot radius, so they're probably both
in that five foot radius, okay, and it's gonna be right next to
us, and I'm gonna tell Taylor, I'm gonna say you need to keep
this inside lane and hug the rail, okay, and I'm gonna cast it.
Okay. So is it a savingthrow? It's uh yeah, what's
the save fourteen constitution? Billy?You have a god you pray to,
(12:03):
right, maybe you should maybe youshould get down on your one knee or
something like that and tell him thankyou for this day because this ship is
delicious already blessed them. Crystal doesa three pass, I know. So
what's the effect of your spell?When a creature enters the spells area for
(12:26):
the first time on a turn orstarts its turn there, it is engulfed
in ghostly flames that causes searing pain, and it must make a constitution saving
throw. It takes two D tenradiant damage on a failed save or half
as much damage on a successful one. Oh my god, that's amazing.
So oh so roll your two Dten. Yeah I rolled them just now
(12:46):
because I said it out loud.You ask me what it did, and
then okay, all right, sotwo D ten It was eight total radiant
damage. Yep, all right.So he sees a flash of bright light
goes off next to you, I'mjust hoping it's more distracting. And you
see Ajax's dragon jumps up like onits hind legs and bucks at the bright
(13:11):
flash of light, and Ajax fallsoff of his mouth. What a scrub,
Well's one. And the in thecrowd, you hear them go oh
like, and you see as thepeople in there are like, Larry yeah,
Larry yeah, and other people arecheering for Astrid as strict. Oh
(13:35):
are they not hit too? Astridis able to pass? Okay, that's
fine. I just she is goingto take four damage as you see she
patting out her coat as going throughit as you singe some of the fur.
First you try to freeze my unicorn, and then you singe my new
coat. Yeah, I guess I'msorry about that. Coats are pretty important,
(14:00):
said, She looks dead in youreyes. She goes you're next.
You see she draws an arrow fromher quiver and knocks it in her bow.
Okay, so rude, says theperson who just set off a magical
flash bang. Hey, if itworks, it works. I was gonna
tell her to just be better.So what Crystal said is way nice.
(14:20):
All right. So, now asyou guys are approaching the home stretch.
Could I drop my sword right you'resaying, so I don't anymore. As
you guys are approaching the home stretch, this fog begins to creep in and
you hear Vlarry go hold on Thunderbolt. This is the fun part is the
entire course goes to pitch black asyou're riding through it. Now I need
(14:45):
both of you to make which isgood for you, Katie? I mean,
yeah, I just have to trustyou. I have dark vision.
So as you enter this you youeven can't see that. Well why do
I have dark vision? I justwant to put that out there that every
mean time I have been offered thechance to utilize my dark vision, you're
like, sorry, doesn't work.It's always magical and you don't have a
(15:09):
magical dark vision. Listen, ifwe yes, it's called Devil's sight.
By the way, wish if wego into a cave, you'll get to
use your dark vision. Well,thank for that. You go into a
(15:30):
room where the windows are all closedand it's night time, you'll have your
dark vision there, all right.So I need both of you, Crystal
and Taylor to make a survival checkto see if you can stay on course
through the darkness, and the othercompetitors will have to do so as well.
(15:50):
Yes, okay, wait, no, no, no, not on
a survival Checkrey said, yes,yes, I was gonna answer, but
you spoke up before me. Don'tget the defour and I don't get advantage,
right, Okay, I would liketo utilize an Omen die. Okay,
it is because we got it.Yeah, all right, that's advantage
right, yes, okay with aspecial dice. Yes, actually, yes,
(16:12):
the black die of destiny that Iforget exists. Yeah, I give
you, guys, all of theseyou know that's the worst received our Omen
nineteen plus four. Okay, Sowhat did Taylor Jacobs get? Okay,
so you start kind of weaving backand forth along the path because you're you're
(16:33):
running through the darkness, and you'relike, you have no point of reference,
and can I cast fairy lights?You can in a second, Okay,
thanks to your compatriot with dark visionwho's able to kind of eke out
the shadows and the shapes. Sonow I'm allowed to utilize the dark Fine,
you didn't see ship? How aboutthat? Oh no, you've already
(16:57):
said it. You can't and it'sliterally recorded yeah. I guess what with
your dark vision if you roll atwenty then or higher. Yeah, sure
you can see things. You're able. I rolled at literal nineteen. That
was on purpose, and she's ableto guide you and you you straighten your
course back out now as you do. I need Taylor Jacobs to make a
(17:21):
dexterity saving throw that I haven't advantage, and I get the because something funny
is about to happen. Fourteen.Okay, let's see, you got really
high on your perception check. I'mgonna give you a chance to pass this
check. Need you to make adexterity saving throw. Remember to add the
four yep. Okay, you wantto burn another omen die? Yes,
(17:45):
Crystal has now used the same amountof omende as the entire party has the
entire other thirty episodes of the show. Good job, good job, that's
what it's here for, right mhm Oh that was a natural twenty shit.
I shouldn't, oh day, it'scalled insurance. It's too late to
not like I've already pulled the omenddie so I just panicked. Well the
(18:08):
omend I did shit for me,So anyway, twenty plus what was it?
Dexterity or was it you also getyour dfour. Oh that's right,
not that it matters giving me thechance, but yes, it's dex saving
twenty one, and then dex savingis twenty five. Okay. So you
hear a noise out of the cornerof your elf ear and you like instinctively
(18:34):
grab the reins and like pull back, and Taylor is not exactly sure,
like she like for a second,she's like, the hell is she doing?
But then she kind of slows downa little bit, and you see
as Valeria thunderclap goes careening across likealmost perpendicular to your path and then goes
(18:55):
bust through some wooden fences and offinto the infield. She did not have
very good sense of direction. Shedid not have dark vision, ironically enough,
because dwarves have dark visions. Yeah. So you guys emerge out of
the cloud of darkness almost directly nextto astrod storm riser, at which point
(19:18):
you see three arrows come flying yourdirection. Can Taylor try to bat one
out of the one is going tohit? Okay? Does a twelve hit
you, Crystal? No? Okay? Can I try and bat the third
one? Doesn't? Eight? Veryweak, doesn't eighteen here, can I
just tryear and eighteen does hit?Me? Make a make a deck saving
(19:45):
throw, and I'll see if youcan try to bat one of the arrows.
Okay again advantage yep, I'll sayyou had a shield, like you
picked up a shield maybe and you'retrying to shield her. So that's a
dirty twenty. Okay, dirty twenty. You'll block the eighteen okay, but
the other one was a crit okay, awesome finish? She might I mean
(20:08):
f three hits, one of themdoing double damagetics. You take nineteen piercing
as an arrow flies through and getsyou like right in the chest. All
right, how much help you have? Twenty seven? That's left or total
total? Oh squishy, I am, I'm a druid. You know what
(20:36):
really helled? How do you ifyou transform? Well, we're not there
yet. How do you and Taylor? Actually? To me, there would
be nothing funnier than like, likeyou transform into a horse and Taylor transforms
into a person, and y'all swapplaces, and then I just fucking beat
what's her face? But anyway,I think we would have to pull something
(20:56):
off in order, we'd have totrust in the D and D guy to
make that happen. So as shelets loose these arrows, you see if
she resecures her bow and then smacksher reins and takes off, and so
she's attempting to make a bee linefinish line. No need to take this
offline overworked and underplayed. Will circleback after these messages. What is your
(21:22):
response? Does the mount have tobe on the does the person riding the
thing have to be on it?A bird or something to fly across the
flying aloud? No flying aloud onthe course, remember, because I feel
like he's gonna he's gonna screw usover. So what I would say is
(21:45):
they said there were no flying mountsallowed. What I will say is that
the rider is who everyone is bettingon. So technically, for the rules,
the rider has to cross the finishline from and they have to it
alive survived. They have survived therace, so said they have to survive
(22:06):
say the first svor yeah, survivor. So if I throw Crystal at what's
her name, You're betting on thefact that I will kill her. I'm
betting on the fact that you willsomehow sit in front of her and we
will win. On a technicality,if I like, stick my hand in
(22:30):
front of her chest, right,I mean, you don't have to fight
her, you just have to notlet her get in front of you.
To tell me what you're doing.So I'm imagining that this is what's happening.
Taylor reaches behind her fucking launches Crystalin an attack like throw, a
(22:53):
situation arranged attack to try and hitthe other one's body with Crystal's body.
Okay, could I use this timeto transform into a bird and instead of
trying to land, just cross thefinish line. So you're not high enough
level to transform into something with aflight speed. Okay, that's totally fair.
(23:15):
I wasn't sure about that. Sowhat if instead of trying to what
if you turn into something small enoughfor me to just really fucking throw.
Really, that's kind of like anarmadilla, Yeah, just baseball spear,
like Rotel Dorado where they cheated ontheir little soccer game. I think that's
(23:36):
our best under Shrek. All right, let's try it, because we can't
catch up. I mean, we'realready running at full speed, right,
this is as fast as we're gonnago, said, y'all couldn't catch up.
I said that she slapped the reinsto speed up. We could also
I could slap you, slap myass we speed up? Were okay,
well we're neck and neck. Slapmy ass, spit in my mouth,
(24:03):
pull your own hair. Okay,it's a TikTok girl. Anyway, we
got neck and neck and then Ithrow you or do you think that you
should stay? I'm pretty fucked up, but you know what, I'm a
winner and I don't care how Iget across that finish line. So yeah,
(24:26):
so make me an animal handling check? Can omen die? Please?
God? All right here, yourgirl is scared. You just want to
keep the diet. We only haveone more after this one. Right,
No, you've literally you have fivebad omens. Now, I don't care.
It's gonna be really funny if youdo go to throw her. Okay,
(24:49):
well we'll hold off on the throwing. It'll be a last. Yeah,
it'll be a Lastra's word framan isan attack, and so what I'm
gonna do? Hey here, okay, here's what I'm gonna do. I'm
don't tell me what you rolled,because I'm also gonna roll. Then we'll
see whoever rolled the highest. Theypick up speed over the other one.
Since it's just the two of you. Now, what did you get?
(25:11):
A thirteen? So would you liketo know what Astrod got? Yes?
Not really, No, A twelve. And you hear as she as she
lets out an Elvin's scream, asyou guys start going faster and faster.
Ah, alright, see you guystake the lead, and you hear's the
(25:33):
announcer goes, Oh my goodness,the long odds have taken the lead.
These unknown people from the gods nowhere, they have taken the lead. And
the death race that has seen somuch carnage. Oh but don't count out
yet. What's that? I needyou both to make a deck saving throw
and I'm gonna burn two bad omenscan to it so that you each have
(25:56):
does each have just what I haveadvantaged? Those are just cancels out and
you still get the D four eventhough we're stretching the balance of what a
minute is. Yeah, it's ahorse race. Those things are over in
like ten seconds. I got adirty twenty. Nice, that's actually very
fortunate. That was a two plusfour. Is the sixth the sister with
(26:19):
the power of friendship. Yeah,so here we'll get there. We'll get
there. So as as you areapproaching, I mean, it wasn't a
crit So as you're approaching the finishline, you see as the ground beneath
your feet starts turning from dirt tograss, and these vines start coming up
and trying to tangle up your feet. Yeah, as you're as what is
(26:44):
casting times? Not a reaction?Is it? As? Uh? As
as you're going, Taylor Jacobs,you managed to break free from the vines,
breaking one of the vines, takesa firm grasp on crystals ankle and
begins to pull her from the saddle. I feel like Taylor would notice,
(27:07):
Yeah, because you know, Ithink this is the throwing. It's time
for the throwing. Oh god,well now there's two, get them and
die. Yeah, so what doyou do? How close are we?
Can we see the finish line?Yeah? Can she throw me to the
finish line? Does she have doyou have the does there? How far
(27:29):
away is it? We will sayit is thirty feet it's so far through.
Okay, So Taylor is going tohold on to Crystal with one arm
and just fucking power through this vine, just hoping that Crystal. Can I
cast anything? Now that it's ourturn you're asking us what we're doing.
(27:52):
We will get back to that.I want to see what happens first.
Well, because she is doing theyI mean, what is what you're going
to try to cast mold earth?Yeah? So I don't think mold earth
works on magical terrain. It doesn'tsay anything against it. Hold on,
we will consult the Holy Text.Yeah, please do. I could also
(28:14):
just cast ice knife at the rootthat's got me, or at the lady
or her animals. Okay, Sohere is what I'm going to say for
the mold earth thing. It saysa portion of dirt or stone. Since
this is magical grassy terrain that ison top of that, I'm gonna say
it doesn't work. Okay, thenI am going to cast ice knife at
(28:37):
the branch that's got me. Okay. What I'll say is that'll be good
enough okay to break you free.And then especially if Taylor is like also
trying to like yonk you back.So Taylor, make me a strength check,
and as long as you don't rolla one, then you succeed.
I have advantage on strength YEP checks, so it's very unlikely you'll roll eighteen
(29:03):
plus whatever strength is YEP you're good. So you yankeer back up onto the
saddle, and you guys are headedfor the finish line. Okay, Jesus
Christ, how much gold did youguys just win? I don't know.
I don't know how you said onetwenty one odds and we bet two hundred
gold. We're gonna spend a tonof it anyway. You know what we're
(29:27):
gonna do is bucking go. We'reall gone blue. Yeah, those checks,
y'all get whatever prize money you aregoing for. This is just money
for Yeah. I could have gottenit. We did. We did to
be Richard Bentley is like, ohwe want, we want. Oh I'm
(29:47):
just glad they're okay. Yeah,as you as they crossed the finish line,
you hear the announcer, Oh mygoodness, can you believe it?
We did cross the finish Yes,we did power fork right good. I
totally had nothing to do with meand give you it was before the barrier
(30:08):
went up. Eat that in realquick. So you guys, you're betting
personnel. You guys won four thousandgold. Wow, let's just go.
And what's funny is what's funny isyou guys come around to the Winter Circle
(30:29):
Crystal and Taylor. You get roseswet to pop something. They put roses
on like a wreath of roses.They go to put it around your neck
like you think they're putting it aroundyour neck, but then they pass your
neck and they go to your waistand they just kind of look confused and
they're like, what, yeah,over my blazer. Yeah. I'm pretty
sure they're going to make a newrole after this to be like no Center.
(30:52):
Yeah. And then they present youwith your trophy, Yeah, with
six hundred gold, and you guysare like, oh, this is so
much money. You know. Wecut back to the stands and uh,
Bentley and Richard and Amyen in amazementand as you realize you just won four
(31:15):
thousand gold. Now let's tell noOne. Yeah, we have to go
to wherever you collect your winnings asquickly as possible, to go straight to
the bay. Is this a secretsecret? I was gonna say you if
you want to tell them where we'regoing to, that way we can all
come back together. I'm coming withyou jokers. Yeah, we need we
need the muscles. That's true.I can't carry my winning I mean we
(31:38):
can probably put it in the fannypack, though, is does the panty
pack? Wait? Is it?Like not the same way? It's a
magical okay, Okay. So asyou guys make it to the to the
collection counter, you see they're likethey are like counting out the gold and
they're like they look very unhappy thatyou guys won. Like they are They're
(32:00):
like, at least we at leastwe made plenty of money on all these
other suckers. Sure, yeah,I feel like they should definitely be happy
because we're probably one of the fewpeople that actually bet. There's probably some
bum over there that bet, likethe list of them, so there was
there was you see, as there'sone person who is like even more happy,
like happy than you guys are.He goes, I've been coming here
(32:22):
for years. He's like he's likeI knew, I knew it was my
lucky day. They didn't even havea name, not bet on them.
How much did you win there?Or my friend put my life savings on
it, which was it was tenthousand copper? What is that? No,
it was like it was that's probablylike a thousand gold. He's happy.
(32:46):
I was gonna feel like I'm gonnaI'm gonna drop him some extra gold.
He's just like money, money,money. It's like they're like,
don't It's like, don't, don'tencourage him. He's lost way more.
Yeah, be back next week andlose it all. Yeah, he's one
of our best customers. I'm sure. Okay, and we did it.
(33:07):
You guys see where the Winter Circleis so you can go meet up with
the rest of your party or didyou want to go straight to the bank?
Was that for real? We canmeet you guys at the Winter Circle.
The secret a secret here, it'sa three person secrets. I just
want to make sure because you know, I've been pretty good about not spilling
(33:30):
anything about your tragic backstory, soI just want to make sure I keep
my secrets right. Well, maybeif you didn't keep bringing it up.
I think it's more important that peopleoutside of our group don't hear about it.
So maybe we wait till a betterplace to Okay, so it's not
a secret from them, I see. Yeah, we don't want anyone who
might have nefarious ideas in our winnings. Okay, I got you, all
(33:51):
right. I like that you saidgetting Taylor Crystal cell phone back is not
in a ferious ploot. Oh man, hey, at least y'all can afford
to pay for it yourselves. Now, So as you guys are making your
way to the winter circle. Wait, I have a question. Yeah,
why didn't y'all bet on yourself?Try to? I can't remember, but
(34:14):
I feel like you probably don't know. Yeah, I think that. No,
I think that betting on yourself likeyou can't well, I think it's
more frowned upon when you bet onthe other competitors. So as you guys
are making your way to the wintercircle, a small Gnomish child comes up
to Amyen. He says, hey, miss, whoa almost stepped on you?
(34:37):
Yes, this man gave me thisand he said to give it directly
to you. Okay, what isit? Who gave it to you?
He says, I don't know.He had like a mask on or something.
Oh did you pick it up?Yeah? Can you describe describe the
the is he holding a note?He's holding like a piece of paper folded
(34:58):
up? Did he look really sweatyunderneath that mask a little bit? Yeah?
Tell them tell him to tell himto go away. I don't want
to know. I mean what,I'm not in charge here, Bentley Richard,
what do you think what is goingon? I thought you were in
charge, well, not me individually, So what's going on? Amen?
(35:20):
There's some child. I mean thekid drops the piece of paper and just
runs off. Okay, well Idon't like that. That's suspicious. I
don't want to pick it up.Pick it up. What's the worst that
could happen? So there's an addresson the piece of paper, all right,
and it says Amy and Amanda meetme here tonight, come alone.
(35:46):
Does it look like it's one ofthe Rick's handwriting signature. It's very well
written. Does it have any likeheart on it or anything like? Is
it a date? I don't thinkyou could. You could see someone's heart
on like a heart on the eyeor something. There's just one capital D.
(36:08):
He might have had a heart hegave you. What did you say
that outside? It said me somewhereat the location. Did have a time
on it? It said tonight?I just said tonight. I just supposed
to wait somewhere for hours and hours? Does how to make set appointments?
Fine? How about this as atime? And you guys magically have watched
(36:30):
it sounds like we have time toget there. If it says tonight,
it says midnight. Okay, dowe want to even deal with this?
Though? We can ask the restof the group asking for you. I
know, but I want to goby myself. That's not safe. I
don't want to be up at midnight. Wait. Weren't you saying something about
a marriage spell earlier? Oh mygod? Is that something that can be
(36:59):
useful, if sure, to peoplethat want to get married? I guess,
well, I mean, can youlike, I don't know, does
it have like a casting time,like it only lasts for like a day
or something? It lasts for sevendays? Okay, Well, and then
you don't get that effect again unlessyour partner dies and you remarry. But
they have to die. You can'tget divorced. That's why. That's why,
(37:22):
that's why certain people in some circlesaies, that's good to marry A
random is a good thing, MikeRandom. Bring them with you on an
adventure so that maybe they'll die youcould keep. Wow, that's really dark,
Bentley. Okay, that's a goodto know about that spell though.
All right, all right, yeah, I don't know. It was something
I learned, and there was anote there that it seemed like it was
(37:44):
written by someone sketchy. That spellseems like it would be really op in,
like the Utah editions of the game. Oh boy, Crystal, Crystal,
Yeah, are you okay? Areyou guys insured? Yes, yes,
(38:05):
both of those things. Yes,it's like, PLZ help Crystal,
like Taylor okay and lay on hands. The one who's most injured. That
would be Crystal. I think,I think, Yeah, why's it got
to be because I'm squishy? Okay, You're fifteen points of healing. As
(38:29):
you guys are all celebrating, youhear the sounds of hoofs clopping on the
pavement and you see as a verycharismatic looking centaur approaches and he goes,
oh, I came down here tosee who you know, see the winners.
Hi, I'm fattiest thunderhoof announcer ofthe of the I told you let
(38:50):
you know your prejudice was right,he says, And I've come here to
present you with a special gift courtesyof the sponsor of the game. He
was so impressed with you guy's abilityto like navigate it as rookies. He
would love to have you come backagain, both of you, Crystal,
and says, and we would liketo present you with this magic amulet.
(39:16):
Only it has a horse head andit has like diamonds for the eyes,
and like it's gold, like it'sgot all kinds of gems and stuff,
encrusting it kind of. I thoughtyou learned from that mistake. I never
learned from my mistakes. So itis, he says. This amulet is
(39:38):
the amulet of the Phantom Chariot,which is what exactly he says. Well,
it gives a passive bonus to thewearer's ac of one, So whoever's
wearing this has plus one ac andonce per day, the wearer can summon
(39:59):
a spectrum chariot that is pulled bythe wearer. Oh that sounds like it's
going to be you, Taylor,Crystal is pulling no chariots. Yeah,
it was like interesting. And thechariot can provide the bearer and a small
number of passengers a method of swifttransportation over any terran. So just Taylor
(40:22):
being the workhorse as usual. Hey, and what are you for me?
Yeah? Who's the sponsor? Oh, the sponsor of the death Race.
Oh that would be well. Hedoesn't really like to share his identity in
public. I can't really, canwe see him in private. He's he's
(40:42):
kind of a private individual. Ifhe wants to talk with you, he'll
find you. As I say,you could just whisper his name to us.
By way, it's not public.Sorry, it's in my contract,
that is. Don't you want totell us just time? Bently and cictured.
You guys are so persuasive. Ihate to have you break your contract,
(41:06):
but there's no way that maybe youcould set up a meeting for us.
We would just love to just understand, because we really just want to
express our gratitude. Well, heleans in and he says, see,
here's the thing is that I don'twant to mess this up because I think
he's like an arch Faye, whatwhat is that? He's like like like
(41:30):
a member of like a person fromthe Fade Wild, like oh arch Bay,
just like pretending, yeah, tryingto get trying to get me fired
from this. Do you know howhard it is for a centaur to find
work in this town? Preach,I knew you would understand. Yeah,
(41:53):
And all the apples, dude,I am so sick of apples. It's
like everywhere you go you want anapple fritter. Oh real, fucking funny
Steve. It's always a Steve too, as always Steve. Yeah. So
okay, so can you just whisperreally, we won't tell anybody. He
(42:15):
already told us. He says,you said it really loud. He says,
you promise you're not gonna say itout loud? Okay. He usually
goes by the name doctor datari.A gratitude today keeps the haters away,

(00:24):
I'm Susie Amanda here to tell youabout the news. Let's take you
to our sports correspondent, Hickory Smokesover to you, Hickory, Thank you,
Amanda. Yes, it's a beautifulday out here at the Trevaria Downs
where we're getting ready to start withthe third round of the semi annual Death
Race. It's a very very excitingpacked field today. There's a few crowd
(00:49):
favorites in the running today. Wegot Maximus and Ajax, but everyone's favorite
seems to be Valeria Thunderclap, thedwarf warlock with a penchant for ramming the
competition. Ha ha ha. Sooh, hold on, it looks like
we're about to get started. They'reabout to go oh in, Thunderbolt Express
(01:11):
takes the lead, followed by thecentaur with no name with galloping glory in
hot pursuit. Oh my goodness,a javelin just barely missed the centaur's rider.
I think that okay? Moving on? She quickly responds with her own
blast of ice. Oh my goodness, can you believe it? Oh?

A D and D podcast, FourYoung Professionals Buy Young Professionals today's icebreaker.
What has been the worst received giftyou've ever given someone? What Up?
It's your boy? Marcel Hardy playingRichard Cox, a human consultant turned halfling
bard who holy believes it's better tobe lucky than good, but it's best
(02:21):
to be both. And a giftthat was received the worst that Richard has
given was probably season tickets. Isthat what it's called a season pass to
six Flags? He was going outwith this girl and they went on a
couple of days. He thought itwas going really well. I was like,
oh, I'm spending like she's spendingall this money. Maybe we should
both have season passes. And thenthey broke up. She's spending all this
(02:45):
money on you both to go toSeasblas. So she's paying for the dates.
She's paying for her. He hashis season pass. It doesn't make
sense and so since she's going too, opens up a whole line of questioning
as to why Richard would have aseason best just six flags. Is he
a roller coaster enthusiast? He does? Okay, I'm pretty sure it's come
up before it has has it?Oh? Well, serves me. Hello,
(03:07):
I'm annelin Hardy and I play TaylorJacobs, a centaur barbarian with the
articles. The gift is that shelike spent a lot of money making a
like plaque that's like super cute forCrystal, as like a client gift and
it's like best client ever or somethingsuper cheesy and cute like that. And
(03:28):
so what was Crystal like? Ididn't want to say clearly it wasn't well
received, because that's the situation.I feel like Crystal would say thank you,
but in the adoring fan kind ofthank you, Like if you're some
(03:49):
sort of pop star and your personcomes up with a T shirt and it's
got their name and your name andthey give it to you and you're like,
oh thanks, and she just likeputs it away. So Taylor's like,
yes, yeah, I did cutehopefully. Hi everyone, I'm Katie
and I play Crystal the Drowdruid withher very own MLM Crystal Clarity. And
(04:13):
the least well received gift that Crystalhas given that she did not know was
not well received is the leveling giftshe gives to her downline. So,
hey, I'm Marchie. I playAmy and Amanda, a basic beat,
rough and tumble human fighter with afreshly minted dentistry degree. Ooh okay,
(04:38):
So the the worst received gift thatshe has given when she just started out
in her grad school, she madeher sister something as like what else best
sister is like her youngest sister rightafter her And it was a plaque made
out of plaque. Oh, itmade out of it. I'll pause at
(05:03):
how brilliant that is. We learnedabout an hour ago. I was like,
how did she even know how tomake something out of plaque? Okay,
sorry, go ahead, idea collectingit And this is what I meant
by all of the crafting opportunities tostop you right here. I don't want
to know anything further. Okay,all right. It just wasn't well received
(05:27):
at that, probably because it waskrusty. I didn't come up with the
idea until you said, plaque kindof quality of him. Tyler played the
Paladin and Bentley is. The worstreceived gift was the gift of advice of
(05:53):
the user that was particularly bad atremembering their passwords, so he suggested maybe
using a password manager. That wayyou only have the one to remember.
And they thought that he was callingthem an idiot, which she was there,
but he thought he was doing itin a nice helpful way, like,
oh, there's this great tool whereyou can use it. It's a
password manager. Yeah, it's allprotected and crypti but it greets a super
(06:15):
long password. It's much more secure. It'd be great for you. But
they saw through him and realized thathe was calling him memor and wanted them
to stop calling him. Every week. Hey, listeners, this show is

last left off, the death Racehad begun, Spears had flown, javelins
(06:59):
had grazed heads those some had stumbledbut did not fault. We did not
follow your correct Dragons are struggling,and the Unicorn is catching up with the
ram and the Centaur. I justwant you to know that I know a
person who has a pony named rainbowFire, and that's what I wanted to
name the Unicorn. You guys hadcome to a fork in the road and
(07:23):
decided to take the road less traveled. I asked you at the end of
the last session to make a roll. I need Taylor Jacobs to roll a
dexterity saving throw, and then Ineed Crystal to make an animal handling check.
So Crystal, you will not havethe D four. You did that
on purpose. I did do thaton purpose. It's almost like I'm the
(07:45):
DM. Everything I do is onpurpose. Almost thanks You're God, which
is fine, okay, little G, Little G, you're a god.
I mean one of many. Inthe lore setting, there's the okay,
Ben, there's the idea. Actually, hey, do you want me to
call tour and see what he thinksabout this? Do we get the D
(08:07):
four for this one? You do? I don't? I got an eighteen
eighteen? Good? What did TaylorJacobs get twenty twenty one? Okay?
So as you step onto the bridge, like, as you head that way
towards the wooden bridge over the tarpit, you hear Valaria and Astrid both
(08:28):
kind of laugh. They're like amateurgoing for the bait. And as you
guys step onto the bridge, youfeel that it begins to wobble as it
is secured only down the middle.So you're balancing your way through this.
Your twenty one saved you? Okay? And would my you grip her horse
(08:50):
body tight as you almost fall offas she begins rocking back and forth as
she's going across. Would you considerthis difficult terrain as Crystal's grip to hold
tight? You would see the taris bubbling. It is very hot.
Yell all right, So that isgoing to slow you guys down just a
(09:16):
little bit. And so as you'recarefully crossing this bridge, you look back
and you would actually see Ajax takehis great acts and removes Maximus's head from
his shoulders as he tries to passhim, and you hear over the announcement
thunderhoof. Oh that's one down today. I hope nobody or feel bad for
(09:39):
anybody betting on Maximus swift Wind.You can go ahead and count him out
for the rest of today's matches andforever. Honestly, Oh well, come
down down there. I grab Igrab on to Richard's like shins on either
(10:05):
side of my on my shoulders.Oh my god, is there anything we
can do? They're gonna die downthere, you guys. So what you
guys would see some of the peoplein the crowd start cheering, like a
Jax Jax, Hey, Jaxy Jax. I think we're in the wrong fan
section. It's kind of crazy thatwe don't have a fan section. It's
(10:28):
kind of crazy that Ajax was ableto kill him. He had ten to
one odds and the dude he killedhad four to one. It happened.
He's really clean and eye them underdogsman inspiration, all right. So you
guys would see that Valeria and Astridkeep fighting back and forth with swords,
(10:50):
and that's going to slow them downto where as you guys get off of
the bridge and get back up ontosolid ground. You guys are all four
neck and neck, Taylor to tellyou where you're at. You are at
the far end of the line,next to Ajax, and then Astrid,
and then Valeria is at the oppositeend of this of this line from you.
(11:13):
So you have swapped sides of thetrack you were on. So we're
not on the inside lane, we'reon the you're on the inside. Now
we're on the outside. To beginan agent behind us, Ajax is dead
set alongside you, and you seeas the Goliath turns his head and looks
at you, and he does likea menacing like drags his thumb across his
neck looking at you. Okay,I'm gonna cast moonbeam. Oh okay,
(11:39):
I'm gonna make sure because it's afive foot radius, so they're probably both
in that five foot radius, okay, and it's gonna be right next to
us, and I'm gonna tell Taylor, I'm gonna say you need to keep
this inside lane and hug the rail, okay, and I'm gonna cast it.
Okay. So is it a savingthrow? It's uh yeah, what's
the save fourteen constitution? Billy?You have a god you pray to,
(12:03):
right, maybe you should maybe youshould get down on your one knee or
something like that and tell him thankyou for this day because this ship is
delicious already blessed them. Crystal doesa three pass, I know. So
what's the effect of your spell?When a creature enters the spells area for
(12:26):
the first time on a turn orstarts its turn there, it is engulfed
in ghostly flames that causes searing pain, and it must make a constitution saving
throw. It takes two D tenradiant damage on a failed save or half
as much damage on a successful one. Oh my god, that's amazing.
So oh so roll your two Dten. Yeah I rolled them just now
(12:46):
because I said it out loud.You ask me what it did, and
then okay, all right, sotwo D ten It was eight total radiant
damage. Yep, all right.So he sees a flash of bright light
goes off next to you, I'mjust hoping it's more distracting. And you
see Ajax's dragon jumps up like onits hind legs and bucks at the bright
(13:11):
flash of light, and Ajax fallsoff of his mouth. What a scrub,
Well's one. And the in thecrowd, you hear them go oh
like, and you see as thepeople in there are like, Larry yeah,
Larry yeah, and other people arecheering for Astrid as strict. Oh
(13:35):
are they not hit too? Astridis able to pass? Okay, that's
fine. I just she is goingto take four damage as you see she
patting out her coat as going throughit as you singe some of the fur.
First you try to freeze my unicorn, and then you singe my new
coat. Yeah, I guess I'msorry about that. Coats are pretty important,
(14:00):
said, She looks dead in youreyes. She goes you're next.
You see she draws an arrow fromher quiver and knocks it in her bow.
Okay, so rude, says theperson who just set off a magical
flash bang. Hey, if itworks, it works. I was gonna
tell her to just be better.So what Crystal said is way nice.
(14:20):
All right. So, now asyou guys are approaching the home stretch.
Could I drop my sword right you'resaying, so I don't anymore. As
you guys are approaching the home stretch, this fog begins to creep in and
you hear Vlarry go hold on Thunderbolt. This is the fun part is the
entire course goes to pitch black asyou're riding through it. Now I need
(14:45):
both of you to make which isgood for you, Katie? I mean,
yeah, I just have to trustyou. I have dark vision.
So as you enter this you youeven can't see that. Well why do
I have dark vision? I justwant to put that out there that every
mean time I have been offered thechance to utilize my dark vision, you're
like, sorry, doesn't work.It's always magical and you don't have a
(15:09):
magical dark vision. Listen, ifwe yes, it's called Devil's sight.
By the way, wish if wego into a cave, you'll get to
use your dark vision. Well,thank for that. You go into a
(15:30):
room where the windows are all closedand it's night time, you'll have your
dark vision there, all right.So I need both of you, Crystal
and Taylor to make a survival checkto see if you can stay on course
through the darkness, and the othercompetitors will have to do so as well.
(15:50):
Yes, okay, wait, no, no, no, not on
a survival Checkrey said, yes,yes, I was gonna answer, but
you spoke up before me. Don'tget the defour and I don't get advantage,
right, Okay, I would liketo utilize an Omen die. Okay,
it is because we got it.Yeah, all right, that's advantage
right, yes, okay with aspecial dice. Yes, actually, yes,
(16:12):
the black die of destiny that Iforget exists. Yeah, I give
you, guys, all of theseyou know that's the worst received our Omen
nineteen plus four. Okay, Sowhat did Taylor Jacobs get? Okay,
so you start kind of weaving backand forth along the path because you're you're
(16:33):
running through the darkness, and you'relike, you have no point of reference,
and can I cast fairy lights?You can in a second, Okay,
thanks to your compatriot with dark visionwho's able to kind of eke out
the shadows and the shapes. Sonow I'm allowed to utilize the dark Fine,
you didn't see ship? How aboutthat? Oh no, you've already
(16:57):
said it. You can't and it'sliterally recorded yeah. I guess what with
your dark vision if you roll atwenty then or higher. Yeah, sure
you can see things. You're able. I rolled at literal nineteen. That
was on purpose, and she's ableto guide you and you you straighten your
course back out now as you do. I need Taylor Jacobs to make a
(17:21):
dexterity saving throw that I haven't advantage, and I get the because something funny
is about to happen. Fourteen.Okay, let's see, you got really
high on your perception check. I'mgonna give you a chance to pass this
check. Need you to make adexterity saving throw. Remember to add the
four yep. Okay, you wantto burn another omen die? Yes,
(17:45):
Crystal has now used the same amountof omende as the entire party has the
entire other thirty episodes of the show. Good job, good job, that's
what it's here for, right mhm Oh that was a natural twenty shit.
I shouldn't, oh day, it'scalled insurance. It's too late to
not like I've already pulled the omenddie so I just panicked. Well the
(18:08):
omend I did shit for me,So anyway, twenty plus what was it?
Dexterity or was it you also getyour dfour. Oh that's right,
not that it matters giving me thechance, but yes, it's dex saving
twenty one, and then dex savingis twenty five. Okay. So you
hear a noise out of the cornerof your elf ear and you like instinctively
(18:34):
grab the reins and like pull back, and Taylor is not exactly sure,
like she like for a second,she's like, the hell is she doing?
But then she kind of slows downa little bit, and you see
as Valeria thunderclap goes careening across likealmost perpendicular to your path and then goes
(18:55):
bust through some wooden fences and offinto the infield. She did not have
very good sense of direction. Shedid not have dark vision, ironically enough,
because dwarves have dark visions. Yeah. So you guys emerge out of
the cloud of darkness almost directly nextto astrod storm riser, at which point
(19:18):
you see three arrows come flying yourdirection. Can Taylor try to bat one
out of the one is going tohit? Okay? Does a twelve hit
you, Crystal? No? Okay? Can I try and bat the third
one? Doesn't? Eight? Veryweak, doesn't eighteen here, can I
just tryear and eighteen does hit?Me? Make a make a deck saving
(19:45):
throw, and I'll see if youcan try to bat one of the arrows.
Okay again advantage yep, I'll sayyou had a shield, like you
picked up a shield maybe and you'retrying to shield her. So that's a
dirty twenty. Okay, dirty twenty. You'll block the eighteen okay, but
the other one was a crit okay, awesome finish? She might I mean
(20:08):
f three hits, one of themdoing double damagetics. You take nineteen piercing
as an arrow flies through and getsyou like right in the chest. All
right, how much help you have? Twenty seven? That's left or total
total? Oh squishy, I am, I'm a druid. You know what
(20:36):
really helled? How do you ifyou transform? Well, we're not there
yet. How do you and Taylor? Actually? To me, there would
be nothing funnier than like, likeyou transform into a horse and Taylor transforms
into a person, and y'all swapplaces, and then I just fucking beat
what's her face? But anyway,I think we would have to pull something
(20:56):
off in order, we'd have totrust in the D and D guy to
make that happen. So as shelets loose these arrows, you see if
she resecures her bow and then smacksher reins and takes off, and so
she's attempting to make a bee linefinish line. No need to take this
offline overworked and underplayed. Will circleback after these messages. What is your
(21:22):
response? Does the mount have tobe on the does the person riding the
thing have to be on it?A bird or something to fly across the
flying aloud? No flying aloud onthe course, remember, because I feel
like he's gonna he's gonna screw usover. So what I would say is
(21:45):
they said there were no flying mountsallowed. What I will say is that
the rider is who everyone is bettingon. So technically, for the rules,
the rider has to cross the finishline from and they have to it
alive survived. They have survived therace, so said they have to survive
(22:06):
say the first svor yeah, survivor. So if I throw Crystal at what's
her name, You're betting on thefact that I will kill her. I'm
betting on the fact that you willsomehow sit in front of her and we
will win. On a technicality,if I like, stick my hand in
(22:30):
front of her chest, right,I mean, you don't have to fight
her, you just have to notlet her get in front of you.
To tell me what you're doing.So I'm imagining that this is what's happening.
Taylor reaches behind her fucking launches Crystalin an attack like throw, a
(22:53):
situation arranged attack to try and hitthe other one's body with Crystal's body.
Okay, could I use this timeto transform into a bird and instead of
trying to land, just cross thefinish line. So you're not high enough
level to transform into something with aflight speed. Okay, that's totally fair.
(23:15):
I wasn't sure about that. Sowhat if instead of trying to what
if you turn into something small enoughfor me to just really fucking throw.
Really, that's kind of like anarmadilla, Yeah, just baseball spear,
like Rotel Dorado where they cheated ontheir little soccer game. I think that's
(23:36):
our best under Shrek. All right, let's try it, because we can't
catch up. I mean, we'realready running at full speed, right,
this is as fast as we're gonnago, said, y'all couldn't catch up.
I said that she slapped the reinsto speed up. We could also
I could slap you, slap myass we speed up? Were okay,
well we're neck and neck. Slapmy ass, spit in my mouth,
(24:03):
pull your own hair. Okay,it's a TikTok girl. Anyway, we
got neck and neck and then Ithrow you or do you think that you
should stay? I'm pretty fucked up, but you know what, I'm a
winner and I don't care how Iget across that finish line. So yeah,
(24:26):
so make me an animal handling check? Can omen die? Please?
God? All right here, yourgirl is scared. You just want to
keep the diet. We only haveone more after this one. Right,
No, you've literally you have fivebad omens. Now, I don't care.
It's gonna be really funny if youdo go to throw her. Okay,
(24:49):
well we'll hold off on the throwing. It'll be a last. Yeah,
it'll be a Lastra's word framan isan attack, and so what I'm
gonna do? Hey here, okay, here's what I'm gonna do. I'm
don't tell me what you rolled,because I'm also gonna roll. Then we'll
see whoever rolled the highest. Theypick up speed over the other one.
Since it's just the two of you. Now, what did you get?
(25:11):
A thirteen? So would you liketo know what Astrod got? Yes?
Not really, No, A twelve. And you hear as she as she
lets out an Elvin's scream, asyou guys start going faster and faster.
Ah, alright, see you guystake the lead, and you hear's the
(25:33):
announcer goes, Oh my goodness,the long odds have taken the lead.
These unknown people from the gods nowhere, they have taken the lead. And
the death race that has seen somuch carnage. Oh but don't count out
yet. What's that? I needyou both to make a deck saving throw
and I'm gonna burn two bad omenscan to it so that you each have
(25:56):
does each have just what I haveadvantaged? Those are just cancels out and
you still get the D four eventhough we're stretching the balance of what a
minute is. Yeah, it's ahorse race. Those things are over in
like ten seconds. I got adirty twenty. Nice, that's actually very
fortunate. That was a two plusfour. Is the sixth the sister with
(26:19):
the power of friendship. Yeah,so here we'll get there. We'll get
there. So as as you areapproaching, I mean, it wasn't a
crit So as you're approaching the finishline, you see as the ground beneath
your feet starts turning from dirt tograss, and these vines start coming up
and trying to tangle up your feet. Yeah, as you're as what is
(26:44):
casting times? Not a reaction?Is it? As? Uh? As
as you're going, Taylor Jacobs,you managed to break free from the vines,
breaking one of the vines, takesa firm grasp on crystals ankle and
begins to pull her from the saddle. I feel like Taylor would notice,
(27:07):
Yeah, because you know, Ithink this is the throwing. It's time
for the throwing. Oh god,well now there's two, get them and
die. Yeah, so what doyou do? How close are we?
Can we see the finish line?Yeah? Can she throw me to the
finish line? Does she have doyou have the does there? How far
(27:29):
away is it? We will sayit is thirty feet it's so far through.
Okay, So Taylor is going tohold on to Crystal with one arm
and just fucking power through this vine, just hoping that Crystal. Can I
cast anything? Now that it's ourturn you're asking us what we're doing.
(27:52):
We will get back to that.I want to see what happens first.
Well, because she is doing theyI mean, what is what you're going
to try to cast mold earth?Yeah? So I don't think mold earth
works on magical terrain. It doesn'tsay anything against it. Hold on,
we will consult the Holy Text.Yeah, please do. I could also
(28:14):
just cast ice knife at the rootthat's got me, or at the lady
or her animals. Okay, Sohere is what I'm going to say for
the mold earth thing. It saysa portion of dirt or stone. Since
this is magical grassy terrain that ison top of that, I'm gonna say
it doesn't work. Okay, thenI am going to cast ice knife at
(28:37):
the branch that's got me. Okay. What I'll say is that'll be good
enough okay to break you free.And then especially if Taylor is like also
trying to like yonk you back.So Taylor, make me a strength check,
and as long as you don't rolla one, then you succeed.
I have advantage on strength YEP checks, so it's very unlikely you'll roll eighteen
(29:03):
plus whatever strength is YEP you're good. So you yankeer back up onto the
saddle, and you guys are headedfor the finish line. Okay, Jesus
Christ, how much gold did youguys just win? I don't know.
I don't know how you said onetwenty one odds and we bet two hundred
gold. We're gonna spend a tonof it anyway. You know what we're
(29:27):
gonna do is bucking go. We'reall gone blue. Yeah, those checks,
y'all get whatever prize money you aregoing for. This is just money
for Yeah. I could have gottenit. We did. We did to
be Richard Bentley is like, ohwe want, we want. Oh I'm
(29:47):
just glad they're okay. Yeah,as you as they crossed the finish line,
you hear the announcer, Oh mygoodness, can you believe it?
We did cross the finish Yes,we did power fork right good. I
totally had nothing to do with meand give you it was before the barrier
(30:08):
went up. Eat that in realquick. So you guys, you're betting
personnel. You guys won four thousandgold. Wow, let's just go.
And what's funny is what's funny isyou guys come around to the Winter Circle
(30:29):
Crystal and Taylor. You get roseswet to pop something. They put roses
on like a wreath of roses.They go to put it around your neck
like you think they're putting it aroundyour neck, but then they pass your
neck and they go to your waistand they just kind of look confused and
they're like, what, yeah,over my blazer. Yeah. I'm pretty
sure they're going to make a newrole after this to be like no Center.
(30:52):
Yeah. And then they present youwith your trophy, Yeah, with
six hundred gold, and you guysare like, oh, this is so
much money. You know. Wecut back to the stands and uh,
Bentley and Richard and Amyen in amazementand as you realize you just won four
(31:15):
thousand gold. Now let's tell noOne. Yeah, we have to go
to wherever you collect your winnings asquickly as possible, to go straight to
the bay. Is this a secretsecret? I was gonna say you if
you want to tell them where we'regoing to, that way we can all
come back together. I'm coming withyou jokers. Yeah, we need we
need the muscles. That's true.I can't carry my winning I mean we
(31:38):
can probably put it in the fannypack, though, is does the panty
pack? Wait? Is it?Like not the same way? It's a
magical okay, Okay. So asyou guys make it to the to the
collection counter, you see they're likethey are like counting out the gold and
they're like they look very unhappy thatyou guys won. Like they are They're
(32:00):
like, at least we at leastwe made plenty of money on all these
other suckers. Sure, yeah,I feel like they should definitely be happy
because we're probably one of the fewpeople that actually bet. There's probably some
bum over there that bet, likethe list of them, so there was
there was you see, as there'sone person who is like even more happy,
like happy than you guys are.He goes, I've been coming here
(32:22):
for years. He's like he's likeI knew, I knew it was my
lucky day. They didn't even havea name, not bet on them.
How much did you win there?Or my friend put my life savings on
it, which was it was tenthousand copper? What is that? No,
it was like it was that's probablylike a thousand gold. He's happy.
(32:46):
I was gonna feel like I'm gonnaI'm gonna drop him some extra gold.
He's just like money, money,money. It's like they're like,
don't It's like, don't, don'tencourage him. He's lost way more.
Yeah, be back next week andlose it all. Yeah, he's one
of our best customers. I'm sure. Okay, and we did it.
(33:07):
You guys see where the Winter Circleis so you can go meet up with
the rest of your party or didyou want to go straight to the bank?
Was that for real? We canmeet you guys at the Winter Circle.
The secret a secret here, it'sa three person secrets. I just
want to make sure because you know, I've been pretty good about not spilling
(33:30):
anything about your tragic backstory, soI just want to make sure I keep
my secrets right. Well, maybeif you didn't keep bringing it up.
I think it's more important that peopleoutside of our group don't hear about it.
So maybe we wait till a betterplace to Okay, so it's not
a secret from them, I see. Yeah, we don't want anyone who
might have nefarious ideas in our winnings. Okay, I got you, all
(33:51):
right. I like that you saidgetting Taylor Crystal cell phone back is not
in a ferious ploot. Oh man, hey, at least y'all can afford
to pay for it yourselves. Now, So as you guys are making your
way to the winter circle. Wait, I have a question. Yeah,
why didn't y'all bet on yourself?Try to? I can't remember, but
(34:14):
I feel like you probably don't know. Yeah, I think that. No,
I think that betting on yourself likeyou can't well, I think it's
more frowned upon when you bet onthe other competitors. So as you guys
are making your way to the wintercircle, a small Gnomish child comes up
to Amyen. He says, hey, miss, whoa almost stepped on you?
(34:37):
Yes, this man gave me thisand he said to give it directly
to you. Okay, what isit? Who gave it to you?
He says, I don't know.He had like a mask on or something.
Oh did you pick it up?Yeah? Can you describe describe the
the is he holding a note?He's holding like a piece of paper folded
(34:58):
up? Did he look really sweatyunderneath that mask a little bit? Yeah?
Tell them tell him to tell himto go away. I don't want
to know. I mean what,I'm not in charge here, Bentley Richard,
what do you think what is goingon? I thought you were in
charge, well, not me individually, So what's going on? Amen?
(35:20):
There's some child. I mean thekid drops the piece of paper and just
runs off. Okay, well Idon't like that. That's suspicious. I
don't want to pick it up.Pick it up. What's the worst that
could happen? So there's an addresson the piece of paper, all right,
and it says Amy and Amanda meetme here tonight, come alone.
(35:46):
Does it look like it's one ofthe Rick's handwriting signature. It's very well
written. Does it have any likeheart on it or anything like? Is
it a date? I don't thinkyou could. You could see someone's heart
on like a heart on the eyeor something. There's just one capital D.
(36:08):
He might have had a heart hegave you. What did you say
that outside? It said me somewhereat the location. Did have a time
on it? It said tonight?I just said tonight. I just supposed
to wait somewhere for hours and hours? Does how to make set appointments?
Fine? How about this as atime? And you guys magically have watched
(36:30):
it sounds like we have time toget there. If it says tonight,
it says midnight. Okay, dowe want to even deal with this?
Though? We can ask the restof the group asking for you. I
know, but I want to goby myself. That's not safe. I
don't want to be up at midnight. Wait. Weren't you saying something about
a marriage spell earlier? Oh mygod? Is that something that can be
(36:59):
useful, if sure, to peoplethat want to get married? I guess,
well, I mean, can youlike, I don't know, does
it have like a casting time,like it only lasts for like a day
or something? It lasts for sevendays? Okay, Well, and then
you don't get that effect again unlessyour partner dies and you remarry. But
they have to die. You can'tget divorced. That's why. That's why,
(37:22):
that's why certain people in some circlesaies, that's good to marry A
random is a good thing, MikeRandom. Bring them with you on an
adventure so that maybe they'll die youcould keep. Wow, that's really dark,
Bentley. Okay, that's a goodto know about that spell though.
All right, all right, yeah, I don't know. It was something
I learned, and there was anote there that it seemed like it was
(37:44):
written by someone sketchy. That spellseems like it would be really op in,
like the Utah editions of the game. Oh boy, Crystal, Crystal,
Yeah, are you okay? Areyou guys insured? Yes, yes,
(38:05):
both of those things. Yes,it's like, PLZ help Crystal,
like Taylor okay and lay on hands. The one who's most injured. That
would be Crystal. I think,I think, Yeah, why's it got
to be because I'm squishy? Okay, You're fifteen points of healing. As
(38:29):
you guys are all celebrating, youhear the sounds of hoofs clopping on the
pavement and you see as a verycharismatic looking centaur approaches and he goes,
oh, I came down here tosee who you know, see the winners.
Hi, I'm fattiest thunderhoof announcer ofthe of the I told you let
(38:50):
you know your prejudice was right,he says, And I've come here to
present you with a special gift courtesyof the sponsor of the game. He
was so impressed with you guy's abilityto like navigate it as rookies. He
would love to have you come backagain, both of you, Crystal,
and says, and we would liketo present you with this magic amulet.
(39:16):
Only it has a horse head andit has like diamonds for the eyes,
and like it's gold, like it'sgot all kinds of gems and stuff,
encrusting it kind of. I thoughtyou learned from that mistake. I never
learned from my mistakes. So itis, he says. This amulet is
(39:38):
the amulet of the Phantom Chariot,which is what exactly he says. Well,
it gives a passive bonus to thewearer's ac of one, So whoever's
wearing this has plus one ac andonce per day, the wearer can summon
(39:59):
a spectrum chariot that is pulled bythe wearer. Oh that sounds like it's
going to be you, Taylor,Crystal is pulling no chariots. Yeah,
it was like interesting. And thechariot can provide the bearer and a small
number of passengers a method of swifttransportation over any terran. So just Taylor
(40:22):
being the workhorse as usual. Hey, and what are you for me?
Yeah? Who's the sponsor? Oh, the sponsor of the death Race.
Oh that would be well. Hedoesn't really like to share his identity in
public. I can't really, canwe see him in private. He's he's
(40:42):
kind of a private individual. Ifhe wants to talk with you, he'll
find you. As I say,you could just whisper his name to us.
By way, it's not public.Sorry, it's in my contract,
that is. Don't you want totell us just time? Bently and cictured.
You guys are so persuasive. Ihate to have you break your contract,
(41:06):
but there's no way that maybe youcould set up a meeting for us.
We would just love to just understand, because we really just want to
express our gratitude. Well, heleans in and he says, see,
here's the thing is that I don'twant to mess this up because I think
he's like an arch Faye, whatwhat is that? He's like like like
(41:30):
a member of like a person fromthe Fade Wild, like oh arch Bay,
just like pretending, yeah, tryingto get trying to get me fired
from this. Do you know howhard it is for a centaur to find
work in this town? Preach,I knew you would understand. Yeah,

like everywhere you go you want anapple fritter. Oh real, fucking funny
Steve. It's always a Steve too, as always Steve. Yeah. So
