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. Hello.My name is Ezekiel Monroe, and have
(00:25):
I got an exciting new product foryou. Need a subtle way to track
your friends the perils of modern datingand got your fraying at the ends.
Try our famous in VISal lines andnever be left out of the loop.
Here's one of our favorite customers.Now, oh hello, I am not
sure why you're interviewing me. Imean I did use some invisible rope that
(00:48):
Ulrich made, so yeah, wetied it around my waist. I had
a weird kind of quote quote datewith Doctor d. He's a real butthole.
So turn out, you know it'sinvisible rope. It doesn't, you
know, go between doors. SoI had to make a hole in the
door so that the rope would loopthrough it, so that I could make
it all the way into doctor Dee'shouse. Anyways, long story short,
(01:12):
he gave me an arcade token frommy youth. It really freaked me out,
so I like ran away a littlescared and back to my friends.
And it turns out I really didn'teven need the rope at all. Oh,
you know, we'll just go tothe next person. Thank you for
your time. Wasn't that wonderful?Doesn't that make you want to purchase one
(01:36):
of these ropes? But I'm notgoing to string you along. Come on
down to em not and Rope Supplyin the Merchant District. Will you find
a better price? I'm afraid not. Greetings, my paid none paid interns.
(02:02):
I am Alex Capps, your DMor district manager, and today's ice
breaker. What is a hill yourcharacter is willing to die on? What
up? It's your boy? MarcelHardy playing Richard Cox, a human consultant
turned halfling bard who holy believes it'sbetter to be lucky than good, but
it's best to be both. AndRichard's hill to die on is that the
(02:23):
toilet paper roll goes over, notunder. Wait Beard, No, I'm
saying no, it's supposed to goyou say the part thats okay? Not
mullet. I'm with you, gotcha. Yeah, that's just the way that
it should be. People do itthe other way, then that's just yeah.
(02:43):
So hello, my name is AnnelinHardy, and I played Taylor Jacobs,
a centaur barbarian with a heart ofGoulds, and the hill that she's
willing to die on is about workingovertime. She asserts that if you are
salaried, every hour you work overforty hours means that you're making less per
hour. And then she goes homeand works sixty. That sounds right,
(03:09):
yeah, but anyone else she'll sayit over and don't you do it?
But then she goes on but thenuk, hi everyone, I'm Katie,
and I play Crystal the Drowdruid withher very own MLM Crystal Clarity. And
the hill that Crystal is willing todie on is that if you are not
(03:31):
making money in an MLM, itis your fault because you have not worked
hard enough. It is not becausethe system is rigged against you. It's
because you don't have the hustle andyou're not willing to take advantage of this
amazing opportunity. That is diabolical.Well done, Hey, I'm Marjorie.
(03:52):
I play Amy and Amanda, abasic b refentumble human fighter with a frenchly
minted dentistry degree. I've said itso many times, why do I mess
it up? So? So,you know what, this is really hard
because I feel like amian Is doesn'tfeel passionately about that many things, and
(04:14):
so the closest thing that she shecould think of is, you know,
got a brush and floss twice aday? Like floss twice a day.
Yeah, something new, But youdon't have to. You do have to.
You do have to do. It'scritical and you floss first before you
brush. What. Yeah, that'sa conversation for later. That's actually true.
(04:35):
And Tyler play the I T PaladinePaladin known as Bitlin Bentley Dragon.
No, we're gonna leave it anyway. Hill Bentley is willing to die on
the w n b A is boringand it could be fixed if you could.
Their net was lower and the dunkexisted in the w n b A.
(04:56):
This isn't my favorite hill. Itwas meant to be controversial because it
ties back into the sports when wedid earlier. All Right, it was
well done. I'm impressed you whenyou started. I was like, Oh,
where are we going with this?No, no, no, I
I had to make it a littlefunny. Yeah, Hi, I'm Alex
(05:19):
Capps, your DM or district managerin the hill I'm willing to die on
is that the two thousand and eightClassic speed Racer by the Wachowskis is horribly,
criminally underrated and is the best animeadaptation ever. That's like in the
live action film that's incorrect, andthat's why the hell he's willing to die
(05:44):

we last left off, Taylor Jacob'shead kicked the door in Amyan's face,
then grabbed her and absconded with herback to the Ricks headquarters with Rich with
(06:26):
the rest of the party in tow. So we pick up there. I
find it funny that the mental imageis that even though Amyen is fine,
she's still being carried. Yeah.I've literally got full health now. Sorry,
(06:50):
he didn't want to help her.He didn't want to fix what Crystal
did. Marjorie just pushed up imaginary. Oh right, all right, we'll
here, we'll here. Everybody becareful getting in. We have to be
careful getting you. I just don'twant anyone else getting hut. You know,
(07:12):
anyone kicking a door that's unlocked.We did not expect Dors to be
a challenge today. But moving on, So amen, Yeah, was all
okay. So guys, I thinkso I don't have all of the information,
but I think that Dark Canyon hasbeen in our situation before I got
(07:36):
His name is dandeliontegent because so hesaid that he knows that the thing that
he stole is broke. He wantsus to continue finding all of the things
(07:56):
in a more expedited fashion. He'ssays that he wants to get home as
well, and by doing this willhelp both of us. But he didn't
tell me where he was from,and he wouldn't tell me, and so
he gave me this, and Ishow you the arcade thing. He gave
me this. This arcade is wheremy family would go to when we would
(08:20):
go on our like little family vacations. And you're like the thing you would
do, like put putt go tothe arcade. This is the place.
Sounds like a stalker and I mightbe related to we also are on this,
Like, so there's this arcade token, but didn't one of the wristbands?
Yeah, from your y. Hesounds like he just murdered your entire
(08:41):
family and has all these and like, I watch true crime, guys,
and this is what this is.This is true crime. He's hunting you.
Oh he's the murderer, but makingit seem like he's the good guy
to help us question, what's that? Why do you watch murder for?
I said true crime, not exactlymurder porn. That sounds horrible stuff that's
(09:05):
respectful to the victims. Thinking absolutelyof South Park by the way, But
moving on, I've never seen thatshow Bentley. I hear it's pretty funny.
So I don't know. So Idon't really know if this changes anything.
I was just really had a momentof freaked outedness because I got a
(09:28):
cold chill down my spine when themoonbeam hit the coin like perfectly. I
mean, yeahs not movie start.He also doesn't sound like he's gonna actually
help. He's already taken something fromus without asking me. Yeah, I
agree, it's not a great foundation. Wouldn't tell me anything about self either,
(09:50):
So I feel like if he wouldhave done that, we could have
had like more of a thing incommon. But anything else, it's still
okay to beat them up, evenif you might be related. Oh yeah,
I gets okay. Cool. Ijust wanted to make sure of that,
considering he did kind of screw usover a little upset about it.
Damn, I'm sitting here as I'mrecounting this to my party. Is there
(10:11):
any information that I can glean from, like recall, like sitting now that
I'm calm, sitting thinking back,is there something I can roll? Or
do you have any missing cousins orfamily members that might have been on a
true crime podcast that Crystal might havewatched, not that I know of,
not that I know Make a historychick, there's some hidden family lower that
(10:33):
you've just been wasn't paying attention shewas too young. How many good omens
do her one? Yeah, useit please? But she didn't it was
I didn't say what it was,but she saw what it was. Doesn't
know if it's a success or failed. I'm pretty confident. How about you
(10:56):
shut the f up? How aboutthat? God? I feel like I
feel like in this scene, likeshe's actually rolling dice on a table,
like they're trying to do like alitt Jimmy only Amy and can hear Bentley's
actually talking to her, distracting herfrom her from remembering to freaking help?
(11:18):
Oh my god, So you thinkabout the coin freaked you out, And
as you think about it, yourealize that it seems like still feels like
a recent memory, that it wasmiddle school, the last time your family
went to that location. And Idon't recognize him at all, Like,
(11:43):
no, he's not a relative oranything like that. Well, I mean
he's masked, but I mean likehe's got the bat the batman mask.
You still see how his face,right, I mean she's not able to
recognize him because of his teeth alone. Oh did you get a good shot
at his teeth? I feel likewe did. We talked about it,
not this time. But when wewere in the cart together, can I
(12:03):
advocate for you to get inspiration forthat? No? Inspiration for that was
good though. Use that so youdo remember that he has really good tea?
Yeah? Yeah, do I reckon? Do? I like I'm thinking,
I'm like, hm M kind oftrying to think all of those intelligence
(12:28):
intelligence I have enough. You don'thave enough stuff to connect any dots there.
I bet if you think about itevery day that you'll come up with
something that's a good point. Maybe. Okay, yeah, hey Rick,
yes, okay, tell me whatyou know about this? Yahoo? Oh
you're talking about doctor d Yeah.Well, some people think he's a fairy.
(12:54):
Okay. I think that's a bunchof bullocks. Okay, is it?
I think he's powerful for wizard,Okay, But I don't think he's
like the guy in charge, ifyou know what I mean. Like he
strikes me as like a it islike a guy who likes to act like
he's in charge, but like,I don't know, it seems like somebody
else is pulling the strings. Okay. He did say also, Darter interne
(13:18):
and said that I'm never going toOkay. I feel like I'm back in
differential equations for those of us.That's a difficult class. I like that
class, would like that class.Okay. He did say that if we
(13:39):
don't move quickly, that we mightend up like him, and that's when
he handed me the coin and disappeared, And that's when I squealed, Okay,
that will be stuck here forever becausewe cannot have or that will have
to wear masks for I think that. I guess that's what he used it,
because I tried to get clarification,but you know, he yeah,
no, like it. The longerwe stay here, the more like we
(14:01):
need a mask. What if itjust like organically quickly look in the mirror,
like is everything like like bone juttingour be that's a horror show.
Oh no, Now I don't knowhow that changes anything really other than he's
I mean, yeah, I don'tknow. I don't know. Guys.
So basically, we're back where wewere and that we wanted to go home
(14:24):
as quickly as possible. But nowwe know that maybe you have some kind
of repressed memory that could help us. Oh this world doesn't. Maybe didn't
you go to like a rage roomor something? Yeah, did that have
anything for memories? Maybe maybe theyI think they might have hypnotized me for
a second. The rage room isnow closed, went out of business.
(14:48):
Okay, they got bad. Maybemaybe Bentley, you've been working on your
therapy. Maybe you could like,you know, therapy me surprizer. That
memory just is really hard say allthings through the power of checks notes tell
us first of all, oh,we can't go to a temple? Comes
(15:09):
up, he goes, hey,uh, yeah, he sees he kind
of holds his hand over. Hegoes, you know this thing like emanating
energy? Oh, what is really? What kind of energy? Yeah?
What kind of energy? Also?Can you take your mask off because we
can't hear you to help? Whathick your mask off? Alex? I
(15:35):
think, Oh, I think Isee why you wear it because you sound
just like Ulric. This thing isbeing used to track you. This guy
is a stalker. Oh my god, we give him right to you.
I'm so sorry. What should wedo with it? Flush it a toilet,
(15:56):
toilet and it'll go down those sewersystems and like, love your idea.
Do they have systems here? Ireally hope used the bathroom. Yeah,
we don't know where the poop isgone though. The whole thing,
right, all of us. Ohmy gosh, what No, No,
you your better idea? I justsay, what if you do your like
(16:18):
messenger bird thing and have him likefly the coin somewhere so he thinks that
he's tracking us, and then we'llalso know where the coin is. You
guys, you guys, hear voice? May I present a suggestion? Who's
that as you see stepping out ofthe shadows? Is doctor D What I
(16:44):
needed to know that was not consensual? A lot is wrong with me?
Are you her ugle or something?Go on? Why would you assume something
like that because you've got good teeth? Oh? Thank you? And also
the token is like a personal thing. I needed something to her? Are
(17:06):
you just manipulating? Yes, that'sgo a wait, we're not going to
help you. Are you sure aboutthat? I'm not in charge here?
How can we possibly trust you?Well? Because I came here with some
(17:30):
information? Yeah, another cryptic thingfor you to leave an image in his
hand of your friend Nemeo and albatrossLincoln in handcuffs. Okay, I need
you to tell us more now thatI have your attention, he says,
(17:52):
it appears your business partners were unsuccessfulin their gambit. How is this a
picture or a video? This islike, this is like an image being
displayed from one of his familiars,right, but like that is it a
still image or is it like alittle video? It's like a video.
Okay, can we check to seeif it's a deep bake or something like
(18:12):
that? That's like, we don'tknow. I don't even know how you
would do that magically. So howdo we know you're not the one who
arrested this guy? Like you're apparentlysome sort of city official, right you
were telling us, No, I'mnot. I'm just very deceptive. I
don't think that we need to talkto you anymore, all right, Rix,
(18:34):
so House, what is your like? Well, obviously you were attempting
to gain access to something. Nowmy guess is whatever it is involves getting
the items that goes back to theory from the cult. Oh that's who
(19:00):
that guy was in the picture.She just doesn't know. Are you trying
to gaslight doctor d No, shejust forgot the guy's name. Oh never
mind who deniability? She was notacknowledged that she has been involved in a
crime. She is not going toacknowledge that. So Richard is gonna like
(19:23):
kind of put his hands behind hisback, trying to be sneaky here,
uh, talking on the bracelet tothe guy's Like, so he thinks that
the thing is related to the crystalvarge, but that's not what we're asking
him to get. Make me asleight of hand with disadvantage as I burn
one of your bad omens. There'sa thing I can do to help with
(19:45):
this with help with what she's tryingto do, like distract, make a
perception check first. All right,Richard, what did you get I rolled
in eighteen thirteen? Okay? Sobasically, as soon as he starts talking,
you start like like you just likeluck eyes, and you just start
(20:06):
randomly talking about something with Dr D. Okay, and but you realize pretty
quickly that Doctor D didn't even notice, okay, what Richard was doing in
the first place. What I'm talkingto about is like, how do you
even why would you bring this randomcoin that I a place I haven't been
to for like fifteen years, youknow, like, what is this?
There are lots of artifacts from yourworld in this place for some reason,
(20:32):
and they're personal to Amyen allegedly they'repersonal to all of you. But I
was able to divine that this onewould mean something of value to her and
it would implo you're stalking her.I am not stalking her. I think
she's being stalked. Oh, somebody'sstalking Amy Anne. Yeah, this guy,
(20:56):
that's a fight on site. Let'sgo careful, be careful. Is
there any can I do, like, any kind of assessment on doctor g
to like get his like level,his power anything. I want to size
him up. I'm going to say, just from like how you've seen him
use magic and slip in and outof places, he is far beyond anything
(21:18):
you've come up against. Okay,Okay, That's what I'm hearing, is
I should smite him, that youshould only smite him. D Yes,
you want us to help you.I want us to help each other.
I recognize that we may have allgotten off on the wrong foot. I
(21:41):
suspected you all to just be thenormal riff raft that Bluegle gets to do
their dirty work. Rude. ButI am discovering that you have your own
set of useful peculiarities. Okay,the way you phrased that, Yeah,
I guess this whole conversation is kindof frustrating because we haven't really learned anything
(22:07):
other than this deep fake video oflike Nemeo and urugachi and handcuffs or whatever.
So Abraham Lincoln, So, Iguess I just don't understand a why
we should trust you, be whatyou actually want or see what you're bringing
to the table. Because we've beendoing pretty well by ourselves. You shouldn't
(22:30):
trust me, okay, reason tobook ever, you should never trust me,
But you really have no choice butto trust me if your friend wants
to get out of her little jamalso cliche book mail lead. Wait what
jam are you talking about? You'reassuming, you're assuming we have like a
problem we can't handle ourselves. No, No, you see, I know
(22:56):
thanks to a little goblin that therewas a problem that you could not handle
yourselves. And it appears that theyalso could not handle it. We just
didn't want to. Not that wecouldn't, we just didn't want to.
Okay, guys, so I thinkthey're like done. I mean, I
don't feel like we've heard anything thatreally offered us anything. I am proposing
(23:22):
that we help each other. Everytime you say that, I get a
little more crit Why don't, okay, just like say the proposal then instead
of just right, I help youdo what acquire the crystal of age?
Okay, and then we all helpeach other get to wherever it is we
came from. No, that's notspecific enough. You have to tell us
(23:45):
where you're from. Bruh. Ido have to tell you that, just
like you don't have to tell mewhere you're from. Guys keeping secrets.
If you want to work with us, you gotta way lay them cards out.
Buddy, we're kind of like hired. It's like past midnight, so
I feel like if you really wantto, we can pick it up tomorrow.
(24:06):
No, this is my last offer. Okay, Well I think we're
good to walk away then anyone else. Thank you, Thank you, thank
you. I wish you could havelike told us something that we would be
useful to that I could not defend. But I got nothing. We could
have We could have been friends,we could have been we could have been
allies, but you just won't.Also, you like stole from us at
(24:26):
the very beginning. You started off, that's old news. It's old news
that under the bridge, that's datathat we now know about you. And
you say I bring nothing. Ishowed you that your your friends failed to
accomplish their mission. You showed usthat you're a thief and we should not
trust you. Very well, allright, I'm ready to go to bed.
(24:48):
Anybody else before we do anything else. Is there any insight or anything
we can roll, anything we canglean from the way he's talking? Is
he death for our help? Ishe like you know? Because there's got
to be a reason he's asking.I would love to roll to see if
he looks like he's desperate or something, because he needs he needs us apparently.
(25:10):
So I'm gonna say I will letCrystal roll because she knows what desperate
looks like. Can I get advantagethen? If I know what it's supposed
to look like, yeah, I'dsay so, okay, okay, no
need to take this offline. Overworkedand underplayed will circle back after these messages.
(25:32):
So if anybody who was going tobe able to detect someone being desperate,
she would know because she loves prayingon it. Right, sixteen he
does not appear desperate. Do wethink sixteen is a low number? He's
very December. He is a liar, he's any lying liar face. I
don't believe what I see. Sohe says, very well, that was
(25:57):
my last offer. I will havethe items for the US, then,
well, if you would work withus, then we would be more than
happy to work with you. Iliterally just tried to work with you.
No, you didn't. You triedto manipulate us. That is not the
same thing. And I know whatmanipulation looks like. She's really good at
(26:19):
it, Crystal, teamwork thirteen.Okay, is it only thirteen? Are
you surprised that a castor character doesn'thave as I guess it's only fourteen.
This is only fourteen. Really,what's yours? Fifteen? Maybe I don't
have my like eighteen bonus. Well, I would hope. So, I
(26:42):
don't know. If you're about toattack me, then we're definitely parting with
He says, very well, Itried very poorly. I had that from
us. I mean, you're allin one room. Crystal would like to
speak to your mansion. But heis going to fire an Eldritch blast right
(27:03):
at Crystal. Do we have anyreaction time? Because I imagine we're all
kind of together. I mean,there's not really anything that y'all aren't close
enough to be in melee range withhim, and so he is going to
cast Eldrich blast. He's going tofire four rays. Okay, two of
which are going to hit Crystal andthe other one is going to hit Richard.
(27:26):
Two of them are going to hitRichard. No two are going to
get Crystal, and then one isgoing to hit Richard. Can I can
I do something at when I seehim attack? There? Can I?
Apparently there's no reaction time? Well, do you have something that you can
do as a reaction? I don'tthink I could do something as a reaction,
like if you had like a shieldwhere you'd like get to add plus
(27:48):
two to your or anything like that. When is he he'll do this?
Since Bentley is just kind of itseems like he's just kind of in the
corner observing, make me a perceptionto see if you can you can see
him like, well, I knowhe's not like reaching for a gun,
but let's just say like the magicalequivalent that would be a thirteen. Okay,
(28:11):
that is not going to be enough. Oh well, Crystal is gonna
take She's gonna be crispy nineteen forcedamage yep, and you're going to be
blasted ten feet back into the wall. He's got repelling blasts, and Richard
you take nine force damage. Andalso get ejected backwards to the wall.
(28:33):
Okay, damn, may I doyou how many feet? Did you say?
Ten? Ten feet? I'd liketo let me tell this is what
I'd like to do, So tellme. So Amy and sesus happened.
Crystal's blown back, Richard's blown back. Amy, and I assume d'artagnan's hands
are like smoking or whatever from therelease of this thing. Okay, I'd
like to like dive for him tolike sweep out underneath his feet and try
(28:59):
to grapple him. Okay, Taylor'sgonna rage the fuck out. This is
what is how we're going to dothis. Okay, realize this is going
to be make me a make mean initiative role. Okay everybody, Yeah,
everyone make an initiative role except forCrystal and Richard. Oh okay eight,
(29:19):
amyen, Okay, I'm also notunconscious. I know you're not unconscious.
Okay. One Okay, Taylor gotin nineteen. Okay, let's see,
Taylor. I want you to rollagain. This is six. Okay,
So you and doctor D rolled thesame, and so the role again
was to break the tie. We'regonna go around, so am I everyone
(29:42):
to say what it is they're goingto try to do before anything happens.
So you just saw the the Eldritchblast, So what is Taylor Jacob's going
to try to do? Taylor,Well, I already I'm sure to see
Amy in moving toward him, SoTaylor's gonna draw her great sword and get
ready for whatever he's gonna try next, and also try and like get up
(30:07):
on him. Basically, Okay,what is Bentley doing. I'm gonna burn
a channel divinity and issue a champion'schallenge, so he'll need to make a
wisdom saving through. Okay, andthen Amy, you're trying to leap forward
and grapple him, like sweep himoff his feet. Yeah, grapple and
prone is my intention? Make mea like make me an attack roll for
(30:30):
grapple okay, seventeen Okay, youleap forward and this isn't quite the initiative
order, but this is how thishole goes down. You leap forward trying
to grapple him. You issue yourchallenge, you draw your sword, You're
ready to go and Amy and ride. As you get to him, you
(30:52):
see him just fade away and missas he uses misty step. So I
thing does it through no, becausehe was already in the process of that
was a bonus action from when hewhen he did his Eldritch blast. All
right, so Taylor's going to runover to Crystal Owl you should did you
(31:19):
just bitch out? Yep? Hejust the squishy is people and just dipped
fuck that guy like ow. Andshe's going to give Crystal her other you
know, but she's got a helppush saying you two could see it as
that he chose the people he thoughtwere the biggest threats. Obviously he did
(31:42):
not do that. Crystal would lovefor that to be true. But she
knows that she's squishy. She knowsthat she's not the fighter in the group.
So but she probably thinks that intellectuallyshe was probably pissing him off the
most, which is a win inShe's like, who won? Is he
still within sixty feet of us?So here's the thing. You wouldn't instinctively
(32:10):
know that's how far away he couldbe. But you can attempt to get
up and like look out a windowand make a perception check. I mean,
I can just do divine sense becauseI know that he's a fa Well,
so here's here's what Richard is goingto do. Richard just got blasted
in the chest and knocked back tenfeet. He's like, what the fuck,
you son of a bitch? Goddamn it, what the fuck?
(32:31):
He's going to cast vicious mockery.Okay, So if he's within sixty feet
and can hear me, he hasto make a wisdom saving throat. Okay,
we've never heard Richard. Yeah,oh my god, what's your spell
save? It is fifteen. Youdon't detect it has any effect. That's
(32:52):
all right. Richard's if he wasa barbarian, he'd be in a rage
right now. But really, it'sjust pissed off. I got Tyler.
Are you gonna sorry? Bentley?Are you trying to use your divine sense?
I actually don't know if that works. It's I'll do it just because
I have. We don't detect anything. Actually, it'd be really fun.
You detect several fiends and undeads usit's the ricks. Yeah, oh god,
(33:17):
oh that adds another layer to that. Okay. Amy and is still
on the floor. She's like landedand her face is like on the floor
where she was like diving for hislegs, and she just like put her
head on the floor, and it'sup, guys, Taylor, I think
I know how you feel. Idon't think I've been this mad before.
Yeah, it sucks. I thinkwe should kill him. I think so
(33:40):
too. That's the spirit Rick ricksden't detergent, delate, detergent. I
need, we need, we needto be more powerful. All right,
sounds like you need a training montage. Ye, absolutely, we do.
Yes, I mean giving would benice. Attack. God, I want
(34:01):
him dead. I said, tellyou what, We'll start working on that
in the morning. Okay, man, you guys are awesome. Y,
it's nothing, This isn't unlikely.I do think no offense. I don't
want to sleep here tonight. Idon't think he knows we're here. We're
(34:23):
gonna get rid of this rock stonething that he's chasing us with. I
don't think we should go back tothe crow's nest either. I think we
should find somewhere else to sleep.You have enough money to get a nicer
hotel part of town? Yeah youdo? Oh right, well you do?
You do? Well? We don't, Bentley, I was gonna say,
(34:44):
I feel like the Rick should definitelydetect us undead, because so Crystal
is going to take that little tokenand does what Richard suggested, which is
use animal messenger to heat that fuckerto an undisclosed, far away location.
That she'll do. Before that,we'll get some paper the front. Yeah,
(35:06):
back, good call. So thatway we have like exactly what it
looks like or okay, yeah.And then and she's like she's putting it
in a safe place, like she'stelling you, no messenger to remember where
they put it so that if sheever needs it, because like that could
be a fun little trap. Sookay, and she's pissed, so anything
(35:28):
she can do at this point todo anything, she's gonna do it.
Right. She just like screams atthat poor bird. She's like, get
this thing a fuck away from meright now, right now, and the
poor bird just like Ski daddles,it's just Jay again. Sorry, it
took me a while to get here. Traffic was a bitch, dude,
(35:50):
Keep the fuck up and take thisaway from me now? Can do?
Can do? Yes more? That? Uh? Yes more? That candy
bar thing you get? Come backfor it later, ok. I need
you to carry it away as faras you can, as fast as you
can and come back and I willreward you, all right. Tweet tweet
ah we're leaving this place and we'resleeping and Crystal is nursing that ego that
just got smacked down. Yeah,yeah, I could have healed you,
(36:13):
but I feel like the mental damagewould have still hurt. So yeah,
I feel like you could have healedwhat I feel like there's gonna be like,
Crystal, do you want to assisstay in your room tonight? Yeah?
That was freaky. Yeah, I'msorry. That was awful. There's
no reason to find a nicer hotela slightly different part of town. You
can always go to a thiel Haven. What's that? Does it have a
(36:36):
spa? Yeah? Okay? Howmuch does it costs per night? It
was like fifty gold a night.That's really that's insanely but it's all inclusive.
I guess we're just doing it forone night. Yeah, and everyone
covers their own right. You meanthis isn't your treat because you're the one
(37:00):
that let us get like fucked up. You didn't do anything. What are
you talking about? I did what. I issued a challenge. It's not
my fault. How does issuing achallenge work? Just for my brain?
Is silencing? Or do you haveto like call it? So? I
have a question, would it haveburned by if he was already gone?
(37:22):
My thing wouldn't have gone off,right. So it's like this, and
I issued a challenge, issue achallenge to Crystal. You're gonna make a
wisdom saving throw. Okay, Crystal, well you'll probably pass. That would
be kind of funny. She's beensucking up the rolls today, so who
knows this is where you're gonna getthe twenty as a joke thing. Oh
(37:45):
that's a twenty one. Yeah,no, you definitely pass. So she
just flips off. What she wantsto do is throw something at him.
But actually, you know what,fucking that makes sense. Everybody's fucking fired
up. Yeah, christs, that'sfine. Christ's gonna cast ice knife and
(38:06):
throw it hard. I need tomake a sleep You have to make an
attack role with that, Yeah Ido. I might lose it, but
she's pissed off enough. Probably will. It's fine if she does again,
she's just pissed off. That's afifteen? Did you your plus one?
That's fifteen? It doesn't matter.Yeah, she conjures the everyone around us.
(38:30):
How much damage does it do?Say? What? It does?
Damage in the circle around where itexplodes that's true. So I don't know
if anybody is standing around you.You are to be standing in a corner,
remember, so I'm going to saythat everyone's more than five feet away
from you. But as the iceshod flies through the air, it just
directly impacts his chest and just justbeautifully explodes out sideways from his new armor,
(38:58):
and she flips him off again.And that's that. Guys. We
should save our our mad energy anddirect it towards those are our enemy.
Don't dismiss me, Bentley, I'mnot in the mood. I'm sorry.
I like pat your back. Andas you guys are doing this, you
(39:24):
see that Ulrich has gone and gottenpopcorn and is unzipped like the little zipper
on his mask and is just eatingpop You're gonna sayce and it's just it's
just like man Leric. You shouldinvite these guys over more often. These
guys are a lot of fun.Turns out he wants to go home with
(39:49):
us. They are they coming tothe at at least at least tell us
how to get there. Well,aren't we already there? As we were
in the process of I thought,But we are now, And where he
gives you the direction to get there, and it's literally the the He tells
you, Oh yeah, it's overin the nice part of town. And
(40:10):
like, as you're wandering through thestreets Levron, you get to the Merchant
district, you see a sign thatyou've never noticed before. It literally says
the nice part of town. Actually, it's like that one specific style of
street lamp that you see. Yeah, there's money here, there is.
There's some like guilding on they.I bet they have great schools. But
(40:42):
anyways, you get there and yousee this very ornate, fancy marble building
and you see a sign above itthat's almost ghost flamed that says ethereal Haven,
the enchanted Retreat. Yeah, thissounds like my kind of place.
All right, I guess we waitand go up to the front desk.
You'd be like, how much fora the villa style rooms that have multiple
(41:05):
rooms attached? I'm sorry, doyou have a reservation? Nice? You
need a reservation for a hotel.It's very very exclusive. No, we
don't. We work for Blue Belowthough. Does that help? Oh,
blue Girl, Blue Girl, wecan give you a corporate discount rate for
(41:29):
the Supreme Villa. Will you beable to afford such, yes, how
much is it? Let's see itis five room. It is forty five
gold per night. Sure, Bentleypays the man with two extra gold as
a tip. Oh wow, thanksBentley, Bentley, I didn't know you
(41:50):

norme will show you to your room. You see as the little gnome walks
up with like a little bell hopuniform and the Germans because uh, do
you have any bags? Just justemotional, just the ones under our eyes.
(42:12):
Follow me and I will show youto sweet okay, cool? All
right? So he takes you overand you see an elevator like you saw
at the Bluegle building. And hetakes you up to the third from the
top floor and you find this entirefloor is basically your villa for the night.
Wow, this is really nice.Request corporate house. He says,
(42:36):
uh, here are your tokens forthis spa on floor three, and here
are your tokens for the dinner onfloor five. I feel like a place
like this would have like bodyguard likesecurity. Oh, there's definitely secure security.
You're in the nice hey little doormanguy is just to clarify. I
(43:00):
went to another spa, and itwasn't the best experience I've ever had,
And I was wondering what services thespa entails. Well, they have the
the massage okay, the aroma therapycandle okay, and they have the tub
(43:23):
with the bubbles okay, and thenthey have the room that gets really really
hot okay. So not no weaponryinvolved. No, why would why would
you have weaponry in a spa?Just that's the question. She's also you
know, you never know have youbeen? You must have been visiting some
(43:47):
goblin establishment. Well, it waswhere I work, so I would have
imagined that it wouldn't know, itwasn't where was it? It was gone?
It was I went to h huhit was I thought it was,
but it was run. It wasa bad, bad experience, and I
just don't want to repeat it.And I've had a really bad day.
(44:07):
So I would just like to,you know, not be tortured for fun
in the name of health. Well, please enjoy your time here, and
if I can be of assistance,just let me know. Okay, I'll
let you know. She's gout oflands. She wants room service and chocolate
(44:29):
champagne. Do they have blogical terminalsin this facility. You don't see any
Excuse me, sir, do youguys have blogal terminals that we can access?
Is the only Bluegle terminal. Itwas down in the z lobby,
So we're on the third floor fromthe top, so we could probably see
all of Oh, you have avery good view of the city from here.
Okay. So Crystal thanks the manand she walks into the hotel room.
(44:54):
Line. He says, by dayif you need anything else, my
name is Antoni, lovely. Thankyou so much. So Crystal walks into
the hotel room and she wants tolook at the view and like take some
deep breaths because she's frustrated. Okay, can we see Bluegle from where we
are? Vaguely? Vaguely? Thecity is very large and there's lots there's
(45:16):
walls between all the sections of thecity. Oh, but you can spot
what you believe is the Bluegul buildingbecause it is also tall like this building.
Okay. You do get a veryclear view of the Atheneum from there,
okay, and of the like thegovernment sector where the Lord Protector of
(45:36):
Lavern lives. Okay, this viewis oddly calming to you, like you
would find that very relaxing, moreof what you're probably accustomed to. Well
yeah, mm hmm, I meanthat makes sense. So she's like probably
taking her first deep breath in sinceshe came to this god for second place.
And while you're looking at the cityscape, you see over in the
(45:59):
corporate sector, like what appears tobe a small explosion and fire and smoke,
and even this doesn't at this pointdoesn't even alarm you anymore. Gotcha.
Yeah, she's like tired, she'sready for bed. I know she
is tired, but she wants toeat and she wants to go to the
spa. She doesn't want to dothat in the morning because that would suck.
(46:19):
So but also, what time isit? Oh it is it is
like one in the morning. Ohokay, well we miss dinner probably okay.
Hotel this expensive, they probably havelike all hours kitchen. Can we
order room service? It's all inclusive. Anthony turns and goes, yes,
what would you like? I wouldlike some hot chocolate? I would like
(46:43):
some Can it be non dairy?Hot chocolate makes my stomach hurt? He
looks very confused. Okay, nevermind, forgot where I was for a
second, and then like a solid, nice dinner. Whatever the house specialty
is, that's what I want.Okay. I don't know why, but
when you said hot chocolate, I'mpicturing they're going to come in and do
(47:05):
the chocolate song from Polar Express.Would be fun. I would appreciate the
service, probably would tip, butshe wants like the chef's special Is anyone
else needing anything from the kitchen?You see Amy just like arms folded.
She's like standing eyes closed and likeyou could see like a black cloud of
(47:25):
it's off head Like, I'm allright, I just need to sleep.
I don't trying to talk about Bentley'salready asleep. Richard's on his way down
to the main lobby, Okay.Taylor's just gonna be near Crystal for emotional
support. So when she goes tobed, Taylor's going to bed. Okay,
okay, I would be back momentarily, thank you. All right,
So we cut down to the lobby. Yeah, So Richard's gonna talk to
(47:47):
the Bluegal terminal, and I don'tremember exactly how we worked this last time,
but he wants the Blugal terminal tobe able to contact the bluegal terminal
that is at the Crow's nests.He wants to talk to Montiac somehow.
Okay, so it rings, itrings, and yes here, Hello,
hey Mantiac, it's me, ohRichard. Yeah, where are you contacting
(48:12):
me from? I've never I've neverseen this number before. Yeah, I
don't know something. Blogal terminal toblogal terminal. That's not the important part.
The important part is is have youheard anything from Nemeo? No?
I was hoping you'd heard something.I haven't heard anything from him all night.
It's not like him. He's usuallyhe's usually a little more bloisterous than
this. Yeah. So where onthe street is is that he and his
(48:35):
team they got they got busted.Oh no, Well, if they got
busted, then we need to gounderground. I don't know. Uh.
Look, Nemeo's great guy and all, but he does have self preservation instincts.
Depending on how hard he is pressed, he may give up the goat?
(48:57):
Is there any so where we're from, when people get busted, you
have a couple of days to beable to legally get them out of the
justice system. Do you guys haveanything like that? You can get people
out of the justice system temporarily.Yeah, we call it bail you.
Yes, yes, yes, wehave that. All right. You think
that maybe that's something we can doto potentially not have him give the goat?
(49:22):
Yeah, tell you what, I'llsee what I can find out about
that. All right, sounds good. I can call you back at this
number. Well, we'll contact you. We'll be back soon, okay,
all right, and then Richard hangsup Mont chuck out, all right,
and then cutting back, Anthony comesback up to the thing. He goes,
knock, knock, Hello, it'sthe kitchen was closing. But we
(49:45):
did have some onion soup, perfect, as well as some fresh baked bread.
And here is your hot chocolate.And I also brought up some complimentary
champagne. Is it French onion soup? It is not French onion suit that
would have been funny, perfect.You know what, man, you're the
best. And she hands him ofgold. Oh, thank you so,
(50:07):
and then she takes it and shejust eats it slowly, and she offers
Taylor some thanks you local economy,tyler. You're not crashing any economy in
this place, as she saw whatyou did, and she you know,
(50:32):
but he brought up some stuff,and so she's grateful and She offers some
of the stuff to Amy and well, thank you, Crystal. I'm okay
right now. I just need toregroup. It's weird. It's like feeling
so I don't know, like manipulatedand disrespected and invalidated all at the same
time. It's really horrible and it'smaking me have like mean thoughts, like
(50:54):
I want to lash out, andI just don't know how to how to
make sense of it because just atough just a tough day. I mean,
