Speaker 1 (00:05):
You are about to enter a world of drug aises,
incompetence and combat, a world where magic is coated the
floors and also the walls. Some magic has spilt onto
the books. Danger could be lurking around any corner in
this virtual experience and podcasts named by A three. I

(00:28):
am your host, kick Acidron and you then tied the
strings to the spooky dice bag.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Let's see, we just left off Shall and Umbra were learning.
Umbra was learning to meditate. So we were gonna go
if Forte, did you want to speak to Ember today? No?

Speaker 3 (00:58):
I just want to sleep in the same room as Umber.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
Okay, Chilli, Oh, Forte, you're in here?

Speaker 4 (01:13):
I mean it is. I might be making some noise
because they gotta work, but yeah, that's a sleep in here.
Thank you, of course, buddy. I'll try to be quiet
for it. Nice Forte.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
No, ever, do any of the rest of you too wholesome? Uh?

Speaker 5 (01:43):
Yeah, she's gonna be dead in the morning.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Does anybody else deliverance or asterid? Would you guys like
to doing.

Speaker 5 (02:00):
Two io? I mean from the book? Do I learn
anything immediate?

Speaker 2 (02:05):
You kind of this is more like a like a
Raven Queen one oh one type of book. So you
get like the get like the kind of the basics.
You understand that her symbols seems to be Raven's a

(02:27):
raven head in profile, it's she her realm is called
the Fortress of Memories. She has the domain of life
and death. M hm, things like that.

Speaker 5 (02:43):
Any she is connected to the pay, isn't she.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
She is she is, Yeah, she's she's within her like
her mortal realm is the Fay while she you do
know that she's she's typically an elf deity, an Elvish deity,
but yeah, her mortal realm is the the Fay while

(03:12):
which I'm elved typically live in the Fay while it's
going to be there. H.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
I have more questions, but it okay. I mean, how
did this.

Speaker 6 (03:29):
God become a god? Like if that's something that can happen,
like what Deliverance doesn't know anything about religion, Like sure,
the first interactions she's ever.

Speaker 5 (03:42):
Had with the god was.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
In the dark, all right, so you know that it's
it's not fully known how she quote unquote became a god,
but according to legends, she was an extremely beloved elf
queen of the Fay. While and she witnessed a conflict

(04:09):
between Coralan and LOLd and Coralan is if you make
a religion check, you might know who Corolon is. Fad Okay, yeah,
so yeah, the book doesn't mention who Choralan is, but

(04:30):
h make another one for uh.

Speaker 5 (04:34):
Lol even worse three, all right, she's a religion.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
No, that's fine. That is that is perfect. That is fine.
You said you don't really know much about religion, so
that makes sense. The book doesn't really have any footnotes.
It's got like a but those are those are names
that stick out to you. You I might want to
ask Asterid or somebody else about it later, shall or shall.

Speaker 5 (05:09):
It was wolf?

Speaker 2 (05:10):
And what lolf l O l t h and coralon
c O r E l l o N.

Speaker 5 (05:20):
Any information on like I mean, like is she in.

Speaker 6 (05:29):
How elaborate? Is this book undescribing? Like a good people?
Uh vibes?

Speaker 2 (05:41):
I mean, if you're looking for like her alignment, yeah,
like her alignment would the vibe would be kind of
a lawful neutral the book. The book does mention that
while she was, according to legend, while she was queen,

(06:02):
uh and she was noticing that conflict. Yeah, that she
had to that she did a ritual where she offered
the souls of her followers to add to her own power.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
That enabled her.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
To reach a ravendor, which is like another.

Speaker 6 (06:26):
Realm alarm bells are going off, right, that's.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
The followers are called them. Yeah, it was. It was willing.
It wasn't like, ok there was they were. They were
willing followers to help her reach and yep, yeah, reach
her goals. It wasn't a you you, It was like,

(06:56):
who wants to help me? And a bunch of them came.

Speaker 6 (07:00):
And okay, okay, And last question here, does it mention
any like opposing gods? Does it mention any like any
creatures that I should be concerned about that are specifically attacking.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
Clerics and or parties of clerics who follow the raven queen,
So like any.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Arch enemies, arch enemy. Yeah, you know that the demon
Lord Orcus seems to be like the sort of her
like arch nemesis, like the Satan to God if you will, okay,
level of c h U s or r O r

(07:46):
c U s Okay, okay, he is the lord of
this mentions that he is the demon lord of undeath.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
I love it.

Speaker 6 (08:00):
Okay, yep, anything else of interest that I probably should
didn't ask about, but probably should.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
You get a little bit of her history and kind
of how she ascended into godhood. She she created. She's
said to have created sentient blades with shadow magic.

Speaker 5 (08:26):
Hey, yo, that's rad.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
One of them was called the Black Razor. How it's
a sword that was said to give its wielder a
sense that perhaps it was really controlling them.

Speaker 5 (08:41):
Okay, okay, so.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah, that's that's like, yeah, a light reading. That that's
what you get out of a light read.

Speaker 7 (08:51):
Got it after just snoring in the background, So yeah, okay, yeah,
so like that's that's kind of what what you get
out of that, good deal, good information?

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Go ahead, Oh no, no, you behind?

Speaker 8 (09:10):
Sorry, doesn't No.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
I was about to ask if you were up to anything, Asterid,
because we covered everybody else, all right.

Speaker 8 (09:18):
I think Asterid is sleeping, but it's not a.

Speaker 5 (09:24):
RESTful sleep.

Speaker 9 (09:25):
There's this kind of unease and this jolting, and it's
just some sort of untangible sort of not like terror,
but like a pressure that keeps just waking her up.

Speaker 5 (09:41):
You can't figure it out why.

Speaker 8 (09:43):
Something just feels wrong.

Speaker 5 (09:45):
And she's she's gonna just sort of chalk.

Speaker 8 (09:49):
It up to the long days they bring away at
but you can't help but just thinking.

Speaker 9 (09:57):
About the gravestone in the graveyard just it's just not
a it's a it's a sleep without the new tree.

Speaker 5 (10:03):
And so good night's rest most of my rest, that
just something.

Speaker 9 (10:10):
It feels like there's just something at the edge of
her brain trying to talk to her or something trying
to make sense of it everything right now.

Speaker 5 (10:19):
But I think she when she hears like she can.

Speaker 9 (10:23):
Come tested up to her deliverance like well or room
and go to sleep and she's finally just a fab
okay whatever finally falls out into her own rest. But
h definitely we'll be dragging the next morning. It's definitely
going to be needing a unbrush style dark coffee.

Speaker 10 (10:43):
Yeah, but.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
I want my coffee.

Speaker 8 (10:48):
I want my coffee bean stew.

Speaker 9 (10:51):
That's yeah. Just suddenly there's just this hard night, a
little bits of nightmares.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
If they made something darker than the darkest black.

Speaker 5 (11:04):
And that's super amazing. I'm at the soup store.

Speaker 11 (11:09):
Why are you trying to buy clothing at the soup stock?

Speaker 5 (11:13):
Fuck?

Speaker 8 (11:15):
I appreciate you.

Speaker 11 (11:17):
That's a perfect ass right, We're good.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Okay, all right, so everybody wakes up.

Speaker 10 (11:27):
Okay, I I only need to like rest. My long
rest is only about six hours, so I'm kind of
up already. Shall's up, already working on the next gift
for someone else, just sending the ability to see see
what it does. M that's how my long rest work
on the character. Sure, yep, so I'm already working on

(11:48):
the next one. So I'm at like a table or something,
just kind of carving.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Yep. Right, so Shella is up carving, is any buddy, Umbra?
Are you gonna continue meditating for a little bit? Are
you gonna get up and talk to your potential great
Gret Gret great grandfather? I forgot about that.

Speaker 10 (12:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (12:14):
I kind of zoned out there for a moment. But
it was a really good meditation, But you fell. I
got very relaxed. But as soon as I hear Sheall's
bones like kind of reconstituting, I come out of it
and I'm like, WHOA, I mean, holy, I didn't know

(12:37):
one could do that. That was amazing.

Speaker 10 (12:40):
What one of the gifts is being dead? I suppose
it's called dissociation.

Speaker 11 (12:45):
Yeah, I'd love for you to teach me more on that.

Speaker 10 (12:48):
Sometimes I don't know how easy you are to put
back together. I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm gonna be.

Speaker 11 (13:00):
I think there's only one way to find out.

Speaker 10 (13:02):
No, please don't. All right, all right, tell you change
and die and come back to life. I will tell
you everything that I know.

Speaker 11 (13:14):
Don't dare me to do that.

Speaker 10 (13:17):
I'm saying. If don't do that.

Speaker 11 (13:21):
Yeah, but it feels like a day.

Speaker 10 (13:23):
No, no it is not. Please don't throw your life away,
little one.

Speaker 11 (13:27):
Just a bit little first off, little one, I.

Speaker 10 (13:30):
Mean you're younger, You're like everybody is a little one
compared to me, I guess.

Speaker 11 (13:35):
I mean you are literally skin and bones. But okay, sure,
all right. You know what, as far as like this
stuff goes, I haven't had anyone teach me better than you,
So I'll follow you on this one.

Speaker 10 (13:52):
Okay.

Speaker 11 (13:53):
If I start to get kind of the ick though,
I'm gonna I might go off and do my own thing.

Speaker 10 (13:59):
No, no, do as that will. I just you know,
I'm a unique case. I'm happy to relay as much
as I know from my past life and anything relevant
to what's going on with me. Now, you're welcome to ask,
but like, I tend to have a very different set
of circumstances than a lot of people that I've met.

Speaker 11 (14:18):
Mm, yeah, yeah, Well I mean, have you met a
lot of changelings?

Speaker 10 (14:25):
Uh, that's true, I have that you. Yeah, No, that's fair.
It's what is your real face? Am I talking to
your real Like? Is that a rude thing to ask?
Is that like racist against changelings?

Speaker 11 (14:39):
No, it's it's fine, and you're far from the first.
Let me here a hold book. And then Amra kind
of turns around, puts his hands over space, just thats
a quick mustache, really, and then turns back around. This
is my true form.

Speaker 10 (14:57):
Well, why don't you just keep that form on a
lot more often? Is very manly.

Speaker 11 (15:02):
It's it's off putting to something that's ridiculous.

Speaker 5 (15:08):
Delevance comes down the stairs. Hey guys, what's say? Oh god,
the mustache? Now put it away.

Speaker 11 (15:14):
I don't know at you know me and barmaids, actually
you know less than most on me and barmaids, but
they don't ten. I don't know what it is. Maybe
it's that profession. I assume it's that profession because everyone
else has got a love it.

Speaker 10 (15:28):
Well, here's the thing. I'm looking at your mustache and
it looks like you have two broom handles attached to
your face. Would you would you consider using oil to
maybe like twelve them a little bit, give a little
bit of an upward twirl towards the end, tapery them.

Speaker 11 (15:42):
Do you use oil on brooms?

Speaker 10 (15:45):
No? No, no, But what I'm saying is that your
your mustache is a little bushy.

Speaker 11 (15:50):
No idea what you're saying oil, But I'm saying if
it's good enough for a broom, it's good enough for
my mustache. And if you wouldn't do that to a broom,
I'm not going to do that to my mustad.

Speaker 10 (15:59):
Well, well, I'm just wondering if we can get a
little sophistication, a little more sophistication, Like obviously, this is
a very powerful mustache. It's like something a lord would have,
But perhaps we want something a little more debonair.

Speaker 11 (16:14):
Oh I do like the sound of them.

Speaker 5 (16:18):
Did you know what the word means?

Speaker 9 (16:21):
No?

Speaker 11 (16:21):
But I just like the sound of them.

Speaker 10 (16:24):
Well we'll here. I have these prayer oils. They smell wonderful.
Take a whiff.

Speaker 11 (16:32):
Oh good, well that one does. The other one is yeah, okay,
this one does.

Speaker 10 (16:38):
Yeah yeah, oh, I don't see why you're sniffing this,
uh this candle oil. But anyway, just so what you
do is you take some because we had a monk
named Hakile over at the monastery who loved his mustache
and he puts so much effort into that thing, but
it really gave him a certain I don't even know

(17:02):
how to describe it. So so what you do is
you just kind of taper the mustache at the ends
and then just kind of twirl the taper bit upwards
and see how that see how that suits you?

Speaker 11 (17:13):
Okay, so like like this a little bit and then
kind of do you want to curl it? Or yeah?

Speaker 10 (17:19):
Yeah, I think like curls came almost like their horns,
Like you have a set of like minotaur horns on
your face.

Speaker 11 (17:26):
Okay, I do like the sound of that.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (17:28):
Those are badass.

Speaker 10 (17:29):
Creatures, that is true, very nasculate.

Speaker 11 (17:34):
Well okay, so wait a little bit for the wax. Okay,
how about this?

Speaker 10 (17:40):
You know, I think we should let our other friends
tell us what they think when they wake up. You know,
maybe this could be like a new look you could
try out for a little bit that or.

Speaker 11 (17:49):
They're gonna be shocked and try and like kill me it.

Speaker 10 (17:55):
Yeah, that's well, they didn't try to kill me and
I'm a mummy, so you're okay.

Speaker 11 (17:58):
That's a good point.

Speaker 10 (17:59):
That's a great point. I don't think facial hair is
enough of a reason to kill somebody.

Speaker 11 (18:03):
Alright, all right, you're right, Okay, Yeah, we'll try the mustache.
I'm not gonna like surprise. I'm not gonna like just.

Speaker 10 (18:09):
Be casual, be casual about it.

Speaker 5 (18:13):
Have anxious from their face.

Speaker 11 (18:19):
Yeah, I've always been good about being casual, so I'll
continue to do that.

Speaker 10 (18:23):
Just just have some mom, have some hot bean, have
some hot bean soup, and just hang out with me
as I work on the next.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
Gift and we'll see.

Speaker 11 (18:34):
Okay, yeah, I'm here for the bean soup.

Speaker 10 (18:36):
You do your yeah, okay, okay, our the moment over.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
And see chicken, what were you.

Speaker 11 (18:48):
I'm just always conscious of.

Speaker 9 (18:49):
Like I don't want to.

Speaker 8 (18:52):
I love it. I just get I get in it,
and then I don't think of things to do because
I'm getting so excited. Watching and listening to you guys.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Is just so wild.

Speaker 11 (19:01):
I just don't want a monopolie.

Speaker 6 (19:04):
Yeah, deliverance comes down still a book in hand, wants
to finish up the book itself, and just you know,
looks over at Umbra and just.

Speaker 5 (19:13):
What did you? What do you have on your face?

Speaker 4 (19:17):
You like?

Speaker 6 (19:18):
She shakes her head and just because it sits down
and grabs a cup of coffee.

Speaker 11 (19:22):
Well look, he SIPs.

Speaker 6 (19:24):
It looks nice. It looks nice. I just don't know
if it's you yet. I have to get used to it.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Yeah, then we'll decide.

Speaker 10 (19:32):
Yeah, keep up the faith, Umber, Keep up the faith.

Speaker 11 (19:35):
Umber pretends he's not deflating.

Speaker 5 (19:37):
Oh well, how'd you want me to react? Honestly? Like,
no moment like go, oh my god, Ombrea looks so great.
I mean, I gotta get used to it first.

Speaker 11 (19:48):
That is how I wanted you to react, But in
retrospect it wasn't reasonable, and I apologized.

Speaker 5 (19:57):
Umbra, I'm so proud of you. That's the most adult
way to a respond Nah.

Speaker 11 (20:02):
Just getting fuck you. This thing is great. I'm keeping
this bad boy, So get fucking used to it or
ship out. I don't care.

Speaker 5 (20:17):
Oh, okay, there we go. That's the Umbrado SIPs for coffee.

Speaker 10 (20:20):
I've really done a good d today.

Speaker 6 (20:24):
Oh you're the reason why we got this okay, all right,
that makes sense.

Speaker 9 (20:29):
Uh, Astra is dragon ass. It's just clearly do not
have good there's bags under her eyes. She's coming down
the stairs.

Speaker 8 (20:38):
Oh hey, it's uh oh gi Umbra. Fuck yeah, it's dammit.

Speaker 11 (20:45):
Yeah remember me from class?

Speaker 5 (20:47):
Yes I do.

Speaker 9 (20:48):
Actually, this is the reason I think I didn't really
remember our classes together, because you haven't had your mustache.

Speaker 11 (20:54):
Yeah. It was kind of a it was kind of
a class thing. I wore the glasses, had the mustache,
kind of swirled up to seems smarter, seem interesting, you know,
like get people to talk to me. It never worked.

Speaker 10 (21:07):
Oh yeah, but are you wearing the glasses now?

Speaker 11 (21:13):
No?

Speaker 10 (21:13):
No, oh okay, I was gonna say, we take the glasses
off and you look completely different.

Speaker 11 (21:21):
Style.

Speaker 9 (21:23):
Ast it goes grabs her bee and it just like
rests her head on deliverance.

Speaker 8 (21:26):
Controulder while she's greading, just like halfs to so it
doesn't say anything.

Speaker 10 (21:32):
Did you not sleep well?

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Last?

Speaker 2 (21:33):
Oh?

Speaker 11 (21:34):
I get that.

Speaker 9 (21:34):
It is weird, just like I don't know, you know,
you just like can't get deep into your sleep, but
you kind of joled away and you're scared. Here you
go back, and then you're scared again, it's like or
like some I don't know, it's one of those.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
It wasn't that bad.

Speaker 10 (21:46):
That happens while I haven't slept in seven hundred years,
so right, I don't.

Speaker 5 (21:51):
Know, Sorry about that.

Speaker 10 (21:52):
Yeah, no, no, no, you don't have to apologize. Just
to understand that my frame of reference is a lot
different these days. But I empathize. I empathize with the
situation you are. This may be a bit presumptuous to ask,
what are you okay? I understand that you had a
conflict with a rock the other day. What was that about?

Speaker 2 (22:14):
It?

Speaker 8 (22:14):
Was it the rock flay rock Rock?

Speaker 9 (22:19):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (22:19):
Hey, you're reading about the raven queen. It's fine, you know,
it's fine.

Speaker 5 (22:27):
Don't worry.

Speaker 8 (22:28):
You don't need to worry about Michaelle.

Speaker 9 (22:29):
It's just it wasn't a conflict so much as like
I was just playing with my magic and I just
wanted to see what like a new spell would do,
and then the rock.

Speaker 11 (22:39):
Beat me in the spell.

Speaker 10 (22:42):
She looks off in the distance.

Speaker 11 (22:43):
It's a drink.

Speaker 10 (22:48):
If you ever want to talk about it, or perhaps
learn meditation that may help put your mind edes a
little bit. Just you know, just let me know if
there's anything I can do.

Speaker 5 (23:00):
Thank you shout. That's very sweet.

Speaker 8 (23:01):
I have I might take your momitation one day.

Speaker 9 (23:06):
I kind of have my ritual, so they kind of
have their own meditative properties.

Speaker 8 (23:12):
You're more welcome to it if you.

Speaker 9 (23:14):
Ever want to try out some of the the Raven queens.

Speaker 12 (23:18):
The Raven Queen, interesting, dad, she's a that those those
ritual symbols when I get to like a full pull pull,
Oh my god, that's crazy.

Speaker 10 (23:29):
Just the death domain. Correct. I wonder what she would
have to say about my situation.

Speaker 9 (23:42):
That's where I've actually wondered that because she's kind of
she's she's always kind of been.

Speaker 8 (23:47):
About balance and what should be and trality.

Speaker 9 (23:53):
And where sort of like if one is, one generally
is in the place they're supposed to be when they
are dead or when they're alive.

Speaker 8 (24:04):
But then there's this whole situation. I think, I don't know, I.

Speaker 10 (24:08):
Mean, she, are you just gesturing at me? Are you
just gesturing at me? Like just like this this whole situation.

Speaker 5 (24:15):
I like how you're just kind of like looking at him.

Speaker 8 (24:17):
Yeah, just normally has more attact. But again she's like head.

Speaker 9 (24:21):
Shoulder on a deliverance, and it's just like just this
whole thing. I definitely would could be okay with it.

Speaker 8 (24:28):
I would love to consult with her about like that, Hey,
is there.

Speaker 9 (24:31):
Anything I can do on our end to support our.

Speaker 8 (24:33):
Front morek Also, what what's the vibe here?

Speaker 5 (24:37):
The vibe is Yeah, I mean it may not be
the greatest idea.

Speaker 6 (24:39):
That's because it may not be the greatest idea considering
you know, he's dead and she wants dead things to
be dead.

Speaker 10 (24:47):
Not like I mean we can investigate, you know, just
caution with caution.

Speaker 9 (24:54):
I mean that's just I just I don't think she
would have a like, if anything, I think she to
be curious. But I don't have the same type of
like speaking relationship that I had with my former.

Speaker 8 (25:09):
Uh situation ship. Uh so yeah, no, that'd be cool.
We should. I'm trying to think of one of my
next like the next time I'm supposed to do like.

Speaker 5 (25:22):
A major ritual.

Speaker 9 (25:24):
You're supposed to do one every couple of months, just

You feel so well arrested from the warmth of the
boiler room, and it's it's a type of environment where
it is warm, but you don't even feel sweaty. You
wake up and you feel more thirsty than anything, because

(27:39):
all of your sweat just evaporated off of you as
soon as.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
It came out within the night.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Okay, so you wake up with a with a bit
of a dry mouth, which probably isn't anything new for him.

actually taken like coals and strategically placed them around you
to keep you even warmer.

It's like it's like a queen size bed. But yeah,
it's it's one bed per room.

There's nothing wrong with a couple of good friends sharing
a bed.

Speaker 13 (34:25):
Yeah, and oh no, there's one bed, an unlimited coffee,
what could go wrong?

Speaker 10 (34:38):
And a skeleton watching in the night.

you're watching or not.

Speaker 10 (34:45):
Yeah, so here's the thing. My long rest, cut chair,
my long rest. It says that I don't sleep, but
I still get to see and hear it as normal,
So I literally am just always watching.

Speaker 11 (35:04):
Okay, so I don't want to see.

Speaker 10 (35:10):
Oh, you can just pick up my bones and put
me outside if you need private time.

Speaker 11 (35:15):
It's like, just turn your skull towards the corner.

Speaker 6 (35:18):
I mean yeah, I mean we've already established that his
skull could be picked up from the post.

Speaker 11 (35:25):
Whatever with it, whatever, whatever.

Speaker 8 (35:30):

Speaker 5 (35:34):
Just while we actually talk about the serious situations and
logistics of games.

Speaker 6 (35:43):
Of this of this game, they can't have fun and
use Shell's head like a basketball.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
So there's like three episode titles in that one conversation chair.

Speaker 10 (36:02):
Yeah yeah, did Cornelius leave out coffee beans like last time?
Like I asked for them to be, Like, like, is
a courtesy leave coffee beans out?

Speaker 5 (36:13):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (36:14):
Of course he did.

Speaker 10 (36:15):
All right, So I'm just gonna be shotgunning coffee beans

Because again, like I am technically dead, so like I
want to smell nice? Yeah yeah, so just shotgunning.

Speaker 8 (36:35):
This ship just our favorite.

Speaker 11 (36:42):
It was a little hard to meditate around them.

Speaker 5 (36:47):
At least you smell good. Does it smell like.

Speaker 11 (36:51):
Mm hmm, it's kind of like there's like too much
going on, you know. I'm just saying it was. It
wasn't impossible. Obviously I did it. We meditated together. I
just yeah, there's a few reasons. I don't know if
I want to be in the.

Speaker 10 (37:09):
Same I admit that, I admit that I'm a little
self conscious. I'm worried that I smell all the time.
Like I know that I smell like leather. I know that.

Speaker 11 (37:19):
But although less the more skin you leave behind, Oh.

Speaker 10 (37:24):
I put the skin back. Every time I've handed your
skin to ride on, you put it back on me.

Speaker 9 (37:29):
I can always call my mom and seem fluid and
you want to feel little better.

Speaker 10 (37:34):
Well maybe, I mean, he's not always my skin. This
isn't all my own skin either. I've had to make do.

Speaker 6 (37:42):
What if we just like skinned the heck out of
a person and like gave Shawl.

Speaker 5 (37:50):
Just a nice new body.

Speaker 10 (37:51):
So that sounds really.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
For me.

Speaker 11 (37:55):
And Jesus Christ.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
Well, no, no, no, no. What we can do is
we can destroy someone's insides and then shall can be
like bones inside and it can just be a skeleton
inside and skin suit. He can actually exactly he could.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
That is really dark.

Speaker 5 (38:20):
They killed. I think they killed.

Speaker 11 (38:24):
I think what you're describing as a human with no intrails.

Speaker 3 (38:28):
Yeah, we can.

Speaker 5 (38:30):
Have you never skinned a human being?

Speaker 3 (38:33):
Have you?

Speaker 5 (38:35):
I think?

Speaker 2 (38:37):
Think she got that leather purse.

Speaker 5 (38:40):
All of my leather SATs?

Speaker 3 (38:45):
Is that why they smell?

Speaker 1 (38:48):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (38:48):
My god?

Speaker 11 (38:49):
Does this make me a poser if I've never skinned
another human being? Or a human being? Sorry?

Speaker 2 (38:55):
Not enough deliverance. Deliver all the time. The Harvard like
historical book, Society of.

Speaker 11 (39:03):
It delivers its.

Speaker 9 (39:04):
Back pocket.

Speaker 5 (39:07):
At all times.

Speaker 8 (39:08):
Okay, well we should get on the road and then
we can be Maybe we.

Speaker 9 (39:13):
Table the skinning of U the living creature, maybe a
cow cow hide. At what point when we would play
skin does shell stumping the original shell and become a
new entity?

Speaker 11 (39:26):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no no no.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
Let's ushering out the doorkfast ship.

Speaker 8 (39:44):
We leave a note for Randrel to go to Jase
if we tell them.

Speaker 10 (39:48):
Where we're going.

Speaker 8 (39:50):
Let's start to start our walk.

Speaker 11 (39:52):
I leave a little I put on some lipstick and
put a little kiss at the bottom.

Speaker 10 (39:57):
You've gotta love that I'm going to read it to is.

Speaker 11 (40:02):
In cursive.

Speaker 10 (40:03):
Somebody knows I was there, not in cursive.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
Come on, who's tooth?

Speaker 11 (40:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (40:08):
I collect I collected teeth from the battlefield, So I'm
just gonna grab a random tooth. Yeah what battlefield? The
fight at the temple like four hours ago?

Speaker 5 (40:24):
I forgot about that.

Speaker 10 (40:25):
It's like two or three days ago.

Speaker 8 (40:27):
It's been a long week.

Speaker 5 (40:28):
Kecked is the one where I.

Speaker 11 (40:32):
Made the head tongue, although I one should never do that.

Speaker 10 (40:36):
Remember we fought a bunch of zombies in a pond.

Speaker 5 (40:40):
Oh ship. Yeah, you're so right. Okay, well, I guess
that makes sense.

Speaker 6 (40:46):
Yeah, let's head on over to the blank so I
can avoid this conversation.

Speaker 5 (40:51):
Do you want to I mean, want.

Speaker 8 (40:52):
Me to send to anybody to let them know we're coming, or.

Speaker 5 (40:58):
I mean I'm allowed in and out.

Speaker 6 (41:01):
But I suppose you can do do we do we
men have to dress as women to get in?

Speaker 10 (41:09):
Is this a thing?

Speaker 2 (41:10):
Or is it?

Speaker 10 (41:11):
Okay? It's okay, okay, what if we want to dress
this woman?

Speaker 2 (41:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (41:17):
What if we wanted to?

Speaker 5 (41:19):
You're you're welcome to.

Speaker 6 (41:21):
However, LeBlanc is kind of a straight laced, no nonsense woman,
I don't think she'd like y'all shenanigans that you start
dressing up.

Speaker 11 (41:30):
I am going to. I am going to for all
intents and purposes, like, just change everything, including clothes.

Speaker 5 (41:41):
Sure, except the Peer shirt and the band.

Speaker 11 (41:44):
Well, I'm never going to give up the Peer shirt
and the bandolird brods can be into them too.

Speaker 5 (41:50):
Just taking sure. I mean, you said you were going
to change everything.

Speaker 9 (41:53):
So is there actually that does should we know? Is
there anything about the bon or anything, you know, like
etiquette wise.

Speaker 10 (42:02):
How are they with undead abominations?

Speaker 2 (42:07):
I mean.

Speaker 6 (42:09):
To put into context this lady, she's just she hated
the fact that, you know, there was a stereotype about
female robes or ben presenting robes, that we used our
bodies as tools. And she's like, nah, screw that, I'm
gonna teach girls how to you know, be assassins.

Speaker 5 (42:31):
And that's that was her whole.

Speaker 10 (42:33):
Well, when you talk about using your bodies as tools,
you mean like using your hands to kill people? Right,
that's context? Or is there something about rogues? I don't understand.
I've been away. I've been away for a while.

Speaker 5 (42:44):
The black widow stereotype.

Speaker 10 (42:45):
Buddy, oh, well, is there some something going on? What
is this about?

Speaker 11 (42:52):
I don't do it often. She can explain it better.

Speaker 5 (42:56):
I mean sometimes people use their bodies as a way
to manipulate other people.

Speaker 10 (43:01):
I mean, yeah them.

Speaker 11 (43:04):
Yeah, I would never do that, but oh.

Speaker 6 (43:07):
My, I mean there there was originally like a like
a it's kind of not something that I enjoy talking
about but or doing much either. But some fem presenting rogues,
and some rogues in general are use.

Speaker 5 (43:27):
Sex as a tool. That's not my deal. I don't
that's not I'm uncomfortable.

Speaker 10 (43:34):
I just assumed. I just assumed rogues were horny. I
wasn't aware it was a thing that they cultivated.

Speaker 11 (43:43):
I mean, we can be rakish, for sure.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
So you guys head off.

Speaker 11 (43:49):
You can put on a little.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
Yeah, you guys, you guys head off Ford on the road.
You said Leblanx was kind of new water deep, so
you head off on the road to water.

Speaker 11 (44:02):
Yeah, okay, can can we on the way? Can I
changeling into like a fem presenting Yeah, you can do that.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
You can do that basically anytime you want, when you're
out of combat.

Speaker 11 (44:19):
Right right, So I'm gonna do that obviously, lose the mustache.
Well not obviously, but I'm gonna lose the mustache. I
think we've established I can change clothes to a point,
right or no?

Speaker 5 (44:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (44:31):
Yeah, we've established that you're canonically naked most.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
Of the time.

Speaker 11 (44:35):
Right, that's true.

Speaker 5 (44:36):
That's true right now because you're Peers shirt.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
Though the Pier shirt, the bandolier, and let Bax cape
are the only cape ever worn.

Speaker 11 (44:45):
Yeah, anyone could wear let bats Actually.

Speaker 5 (44:49):
Guess most of those things not as good as you, But.

Asymmetric Pop three and Prep Prep.
