  >> Skylar: jasmine, oolong, green
• 0:05
  and white. Long ago, these four
• 0:08
  teas were skillfully brewed at the blissful brew.
• 0:11
  Then everything changed when the shops
• 0:13
  popularity threatened its existence.
• 0:16
  All Mister Okaron, the shops owner and tea
• 0:19
  master, could do was to recruit four teenage
• 0:22
  orphans to learn his trade and staff his
• 0:25
  shop. A year has passed since the orphans were
• 0:27
  hired, and although their skills have progressed, they
• 0:30
  still have a lot to learn before they can brew anything.
• 0:33
  But I believe that they have the potential to make the
• 0:36
  blissful brew the greatest tea shop in the
• 0:39
  world. Last time on
• 0:42
  benders and brews, an avatar Legends
• 0:44
  podcast, you guys all, ah, get some
• 0:47
  rest. This night. You remember the letter that Mister
• 0:50
  Okra had left for Mika, talking about the fun final clue that you
• 0:53
  guys needed to get, which would give you the last piece of the map.
• 0:56
  >> Cameron: Hey, Mika, also, don't you have our, like, our next clue
• 0:58
  where we're supposed to go next?
• 1:00
  >> Mikayla: Oh, yeah. I do have a letter from Missouri ground from
• 1:03
  me that says something better now.
• 1:05
  >> Cameron: So where are we going?
• 1:07
  >> Mikayla: We have to go to my village.
• 1:10
  >> Skylar: Small village in the southern water tribe.
• 1:12
  >> Cameron: So southern water drive.
• 1:13
  >> Cameron: That's our,
• 1:14
  >> Cameron: How do we get there? We're gonna need a boat or something.
• 1:16
  >> Skylar: We have a bicycle.
• 1:18
  >> Cameron: We can only use them once, though. How are we gonna get back?
• 1:20
  >> Skylar: You blow into the whistle and no sound comes out.
• 1:23
  At first, you're a little confused, a little frustrated, even,
• 1:26
  maybe. But as you sit there and ponder this, all
• 1:29
  of a sudden in the sky, you
• 1:32
  feel a sort of heavy breeze of air kind
• 1:35
  of start to move towards you that starts to grow and grow and grow
• 1:38
  until over the tree line, you see
• 1:40
  this massive flying
• 1:43
  bison. and so you kind of steer
• 1:46
  mochi into that direction until eventually
• 1:49
  you find the village where you were
• 1:52
  born. And as you guys kind of land on the
• 1:54
  outskirts of this village, it is horribly
• 1:57
  run down. Nobody is here. The nice,
• 2:00
  big chiefs like place of residence,
• 2:03
  which was right in the center of the
• 2:06
  village.
• 2:06
  >> Mikayla: Well, I walked towards that.
• 2:08
  >> Skylar: So, yeah, you see a variety of drawings. You see all of these depictions
• 2:11
  depicted with these glowing blue eyes.
• 2:13
  >> Dave: All right, everyone, get your complimentary sword
• 2:16
  mint.
• 2:16
  >> Skylar: And you realize that some sort of
• 2:19
  creature is right outside of
• 2:22
  this chief's hut.
• 2:29
  And welcome back, everybody, to another episode of
• 2:32
  Benders and Brews. We are on episode ten.
• 2:35
  Two more. Well, I guess three if you count the fact that you're
• 2:38
  starting on episode ten right now. Three more
• 2:40
  episodes for the big finale. Unless, of course, you
• 2:43
  count the 12th, as you know, you would count two. I
• 2:46
  don't know. Whatever the case, two to three, episodes until
• 2:49
  the finale, depending on how you count things. I'm
• 2:52
  your host and the game master,
• 2:54
  Skyler. Let's, introduce the people
• 2:58
  that are playing characters. Let's introduce their characters, and
• 3:01
  then let's jump into the action. First of
• 3:03
  all, we've got. I know. Connor, you said you
• 3:06
  had one in the brain. Ready to go?
• 3:10
  >> Cameron: Got the brain. I'm Conor and I'm playing
• 3:12
  broccoli, and he.
• 3:15
  I didn't know if you know this, but there is a.
• 3:19
  There is an element known by the name of indium,
• 3:22
  which is a metal, but it's soft enough to. Where you can
• 3:25
  chew it like gum. Oh, and that is one of
• 3:27
  broccoli's favorite pastimes. Cause if he's trying to
• 3:30
  cut weight, you know, he's trying to stay slim. He still wants to
• 3:33
  have the activity of chewing something.
• 3:36
  He'll take a wad of indium and just stick it in
• 3:39
  his mouth and just chew it up.
• 3:40
  >> Skylar: Are we talking like, tin foil soft, or is it
• 3:43
  even softer?
• 3:44
  >> Cameron: It's. Once it warms up in your mouth, it's pretty
• 3:47
  much like chewing gum.
• 3:48
  >> Skylar: Does it. I mean, I'm gonna assume it doesn't taste like chewing gum. does he
• 3:51
  go, like, straight indium, or does he, like, coat it
• 3:54
  in something and then pop it in and chew it?
• 3:56
  >> Cameron: Just straight indium.
• 3:57
  >> Skylar: Straight indium.
• 3:57
  >> Cameron: The dude enjoys eating rocks.
• 4:01
  Pretty used to bland things.
• 4:02
  >> Skylar: Yes. We're recording this on national, haiku
• 4:05
  day. And that was part of the haiku that I wrote for
• 4:08
  brock, that he eats rocks. That he eats rocks.
• 4:11
  Known to eat rocks or something along those lines. It was like the first line,
• 4:14
  I.
• 4:14
  >> Cameron: Think he will eat some rocks. That's. That's
• 4:16
  five.
• 4:18
  >> Skylar: All right, fair enough. I'm not gonna say no
• 4:21
  to that. especially since it's pre established,
• 4:24
  so.
• 4:24
  >> Cameron: And it's also pre established he can break the fourth wall.
• 4:26
  >> Skylar: Yeah, that's.
• 4:28
  >> Cameron: Yeah, only when he's high.
• 4:30
  >> Skylar: Oh, only when he's high. He sees all
• 4:33
  the world as it is.
• 4:34
  >> Cameron: He wrote, moves rocks.
• 4:36
  >> Skylar: Oh, you know what eats cabbage? Eats cabbage.
• 4:39
  Oh. well, okay, so I did a couple of different drafts. Cause I changed
• 4:42
  things later.
• 4:42
  >> Cameron: So you had one where he just ate rocks.
• 4:44
  >> Skylar: Yes. So, somebody I looked up online. Cause I was like,
• 4:47
  okay, I know haikus. I've taken an english class
• 4:50
  before, which, ironically, haikus stem from
• 4:53
  japanese culture, as, I understand.
• 4:56
  And so I don't know why we learned them in english class, but we were talking
• 4:59
  about poetry. Right. And one of the things that it said online, because
• 5:02
  I was like, you don't have to rhyme anything in a
• 5:04
  haiku. Like, just to clarify. So I don't look like a total
• 5:07
  idiot when I post these. And they're like, no, you don't
• 5:10
  have to. But a lot of people, it said, like, a
• 5:13
  lot of cheeky poets like to rhyme
• 5:16
  the first and last lines. And so then
• 5:19
  I said, hold on, I gotta redo all of these
• 5:21
  because I want that. I want to do that. I want to be
• 5:24
  a cheeky Pokemon.
• 5:26
  >> Cameron: a little quirky.
• 5:27
  >> Skylar: That's my interesting fact. I'm gonna put that out there a little ahead
• 5:30
  of time, is that I got to be a cheeky poet
• 5:33
  recently, and there's the background for it. So now mine is out of the
• 5:36
  way. So we'll jump over to, anyone want to claim it?
• 5:38
  I got it, Dave.
• 5:40
  >> Dave: So I'm playing guohan the
• 5:42
  earthbender. Also an earthbender.
• 5:45
  Youngest member of the party.
• 5:47
  >> Skylar: That's right.
• 5:48
  >> Dave: And he, sometimes
• 5:51
  he's bored on the weekends. Maybe he's got the
• 5:54
  afternoon off at the tea shop. He likes to go to the
• 5:57
  town square and go to the
• 6:00
  community board, the bulletin board, whatever you call
• 6:02
  it.
• 6:03
  >> Skylar: Sure.
• 6:04
  >> Dave: And look at the wanted posters.
• 6:07
  And just from looking at the mug shots or the
• 6:09
  pictures, he tries to guess what the
• 6:12
  person is wanted for.
• 6:14
  >> Skylar: Oh.
• 6:16
  >> Dave: Or like, the, yeah, like, if they post the local
• 6:20
  mug shots of just whatever people have done. So,
• 6:22
  yeah, that guy looks like somebody would
• 6:25
  steal some cabbage.
• 6:27
  >> Skylar: Like, he's trying to get real specific.
• 6:29
  >> Dave: Yeah.
• 6:31
  >> Skylar: And then once, you know, they get caught or whatever, and then, because, I mean,
• 6:34
  it'll say on the poster, like, four thievery, but it
• 6:37
  won't say for thievery of cabbages, typically,
• 6:40
  but. But once they catch him and then it gets announced that we
• 6:43
  caught the notorious cabbage thief, you're like,
• 6:46
  got him. I mean, they got him, but
• 6:49
  I called it.
• 6:51
  >> Cameron: Exactly.
• 6:51
  >> Skylar: I love it. That's fun. That's a, that's a fun game.
• 6:54
  I wish they posted that kind of stuff. Well, I guess they kind of do.
• 6:57
  I don't know. I know there was, like, a whole thing about it where they were like, well, we shouldn't
• 7:00
  be posting much mug shots or so. I don't know. Anyways,
• 7:04
  anyways, Cameron.
• 7:06
  hello. Are you good to go?
• 7:09
  >> Cameron: Always.
• 7:09
  >> Skylar: Awesome. Hit me with it.
• 7:11
  >> Cameron: Hi, I'm Cameron. I am playing Bill
• 7:13
  Dore, aka Ashley.
• 7:16
  And his
• 7:19
  fun fact is, back when he was
• 7:22
  in the, fire nation, he was
• 7:25
  very competitive in a sport
• 7:27
  called Agni foot race.
• 7:30
  >> Skylar: Agni foot race. Agni.
• 7:32
  >> Cameron: Agni. Agni foot race.
• 7:34
  >> Skylar: Similar to Agni kai. Yeah, yeah.
• 7:37
  But not a death foot race.
• 7:40
  >> Cameron: No, no, no.
• 7:40
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 7:41
  >> Cameron: Very different. So the whole idea of the Agni foot
• 7:44
  race was to test fire,
• 7:47
  just like kids who grew up in the fire
• 7:50
  nation on there. It was
• 7:52
  a. It was a. It was a foot race, but it had
• 7:55
  obstacles.
• 7:56
  >> Skylar: Oh, yeah. Yeah.
• 7:57
  >> Cameron: So, like, think of your classic, like, military,
• 8:00
  obstacle course. Right. But these kids would just have to do it. And
• 8:03
  the goal was just to be the fastest through the foot race. And the idea was,
• 8:05
  like, training fire nation
• 8:08
  kids to find who out who's the best
• 8:11
  without fully utilizing, like, fire powers.
• 8:14
  >> Skylar: Sure.
• 8:14
  >> Cameron: If that makes sense, right?
• 8:15
  >> Skylar: Yeah, that does.
• 8:15
  >> Cameron: And it's like, any kid could do it firebender or night, right? Any
• 8:18
  kid could do it just to find out who's the best. And Bildor was just, like,
• 8:21
  naturally really good at it.
• 8:23
  >> Skylar: Right?
• 8:23
  >> Cameron: That and pole vaulting. So, nice.
• 8:26
  >> Skylar: Nice. Which, yeah, that fits with the bo staff and
• 8:28
  everything, so there's a little bit of background there. That's cool. No,
• 8:31
  I completely agree. I think that would be a pretty cool
• 8:34
  way to challenge people, whether or not they're.
• 8:37
  They're benders or not. Kind of like, pull that away. Cause, I mean, how
• 8:40
  much is firebending really gonna help you when it comes to a foot
• 8:43
  race?
• 8:43
  >> Cameron: Yeah. Especially if there's an eclipse.
• 8:45
  >> Skylar: Yeah. Oh, that's true. That is true.
• 8:48
  Every once in a blue moon or a hidden
• 8:50
  moon.
• 8:51
  >> Cameron: Fantastic.
• 8:52
  >> Skylar: awesome. Last but not least, my cable.
• 8:54
  >> Mikayla: Yep. I play Mika sometimes. Mika
• 8:57
  plays me.
• 8:58
  >> Skylar: Whoa. Got her. Ooh.
• 9:00
  >> Cameron: Wow.
• 9:00
  >> Mikayla: Mika's fun fact is,
• 9:04
  she likes snow cones.
• 9:05
  >> Skylar: Nice. And she can make them herself.
• 9:07
  >> Mikayla: Yeah.
• 9:08
  >> Skylar: I mean, as long as she's got, like, water. Does she have
• 9:11
  a favorite flavor?
• 9:12
  >> Mikayla: Well, no, she's not
• 9:15
  really, seal fat.
• 9:17
  >> Skylar: Seal fat.
• 9:18
  >> Mikayla: She's not really experienced with flavors. Cause, you know, when
• 9:21
  she was out with her dad,
• 9:24
  it was all frozen, so they didn't really have a whole lot
• 9:27
  of frozen things to come by.
• 9:29
  >> Skylar: So she just munched on frozen plain, snow
• 9:32
  cone.
• 9:33
  >> Mikayla: I mean, you know, you can imagine different flavors.
• 9:36
  >> Skylar: Oh, man, that makes it more sad.
• 9:39
  She's just like.
• 9:40
  >> Mikayla: It's not any sadder than her sitting by the pond
• 9:43
  and telling stories with the fish that she saw.
• 9:46
  >> Skylar: You're not wrong. I just feel like every
• 9:49
  episode, mickey, Mika's backstories get
• 9:52
  sadder and sad, and I thought we did a pretty dang good job of
• 9:55
  making yours sad backstory as it is.
• 9:57
  >> Mikayla: Well, yeah, but we have to, like, actually play into it.
• 10:00
  I was talking to David about my fun fact, and
• 10:03
  David's like, I don't really know your backstory. And I was
• 10:06
  like, yeah, I suppose you don't. We haven't
• 10:09
  really talked about it in podcasts. And he didn't listen
• 10:12
  to the, I.
• 10:13
  >> Skylar: Was gonna say insert. Insert classic.
• 10:16
  >> Cameron: I don't think any of us did.
• 10:17
  >> Dave: I wish I supposed.
• 10:19
  >> Cameron: Yeah, that's how I treated it, too.
• 10:20
  >> Skylar: That's fair. I mean, I guess at this point,
• 10:23
  now that we're so close to the end, I'll listen to
• 10:26
  him.
• 10:26
  >> Cameron: Once we're done with the season, I won't listen to him m now with the
• 10:29
  finale, but after finale, I'll listen. That way, you know, if we do
• 10:32
  the AMA.
• 10:34
  >> Skylar: Yeah, yeah. It'd probably be good to know just so that we can.
• 10:37
  Yeah.
• 10:37
  >> Cameron: The avatar.
• 10:38
  >> Mikayla: But we basically know.
• 10:39
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 10:40
  >> Cameron: Yeah. What did you think I was talking about? Skyler?
• 10:42
  >> Skylar: yeah, no, well, that's what I thought you were talking.
• 10:44
  >> Cameron: Okay.
• 10:44
  >> Skylar: I was like, yeah, we had some music in those episodes.
• 10:46
  >> Dave: Oh, man, I gotta finish that
• 10:49
  dad's away song.
• 10:52
  >> Skylar: Forgot about that.
• 10:53
  >> Dave: By finish, I mean start.
• 10:55
  >> Skylar: Yeah, start and finish.
• 10:58
  All right, fantastic. Once, again, my name is Skylar.
• 11:01
  I'm the game master. And let's jump into
• 11:03
  episode ten of benders and brews.
• 11:10
  All right, so if you guys remember from last time, you guys had
• 11:13
  been taken by flying bison to
• 11:16
  the believe. it was the southern
• 11:19
  water tribe, where Micah had kind of,
• 11:22
  well, been born, grew up for a very short amount of time
• 11:25
  before being kicked from the tribe there. that was where mister
• 11:28
  Okaran had left you guys. Next hint.
• 11:31
  with the chieftain. his name was
• 11:34
  Tatonka, and he had met him
• 11:37
  while traversing. Trying to hopefully find Mika's father was
• 11:39
  unsuccessful. But he did find some hints. met with
• 11:42
  tatunka, who was the. As far as you
• 11:45
  guys know, the sole remaining individual in this
• 11:48
  little sort of tribe. he had left him with your
• 11:51
  guys's final clue. But when you guys
• 11:54
  arrived there, you found the whole place torn
• 11:56
  apart, strange sort of
• 11:59
  hints and suggestions to some sort of monstrous
• 12:02
  creatures that had been attacking this village.
• 12:05
  And you have not seen
• 12:08
  Tatonka at all. you guys were
• 12:11
  inside of the chief's tent. sort of a big, more of a.
• 12:14
  More of a cabin or something along those lines. but whatever the
• 12:16
  case, it was also much like the rest of the
• 12:19
  sort of village, torn up, beat up,
• 12:22
  with some, some, again, some notes and some
• 12:25
  other items that suggest to some,
• 12:27
  the people that were living here, we're trying
• 12:30
  to find some way to fight against some
• 12:33
  strange creatures potentially
• 12:35
  possessed. And as you guys were finishing up looking through all this
• 12:38
  stuff, you heard some sounds outside of the hut,
• 12:41
  and you went to go investigate and found a group
• 12:44
  of three wolves, all with glowing
• 12:47
  blue eyes, sort of unnatural.
• 12:50
  And that is what stands before you.
• 12:53
  What would you like to do?
• 12:54
  >> Dave: I, closed the tent flap.
• 12:57
  There's, like, three wolves with glowing blue eyes out
• 13:00
  there.
• 13:03
  Was I seeing that go away?
• 13:07
  Maybe they will. Everybody be quiet.
• 13:12
  I listen to see if they're moving towards
• 13:15
  the tent.
• 13:17
  >> Skylar: You hear, footsteps. It sounds like they're
• 13:20
  just pacing back and forth outside of the tent,
• 13:24
  maybe letting out some. Some wolf like
• 13:26
  barks, loud
• 13:29
  growls as they
• 13:31
  wait for you guys to make a move.
• 13:36
  >> Cameron: Well, if we don't make a move, they'll
• 13:38
  never.
• 13:39
  >> Skylar: Why don't you test that theory?
• 13:41
  >> Dave: Wait, guys, we can't just stay in here. They'll
• 13:44
  probably attack.
• 13:47
  What's the bison's name?
• 13:49
  >> Skylar: The flying bison was
• 13:52
  Mochi. Oh, yeah.
• 13:54
  >> Cameron: He didn't go anywhere.
• 13:55
  >> Skylar: Well, he was outside of the town.
• 13:57
  >> Cameron: Is he still there?
• 13:59
  >> Cameron: Probably snoozing.
• 14:00
  >> Skylar: I mean, it was a ways away. Like, you guys kind of walked a
• 14:02
  little, like a couple hills, maybe, and then got into the
• 14:05
  town.
• 14:05
  >> Cameron: Definitely couldn't fly off because that's what the one guy
• 14:08
  said he couldn't do. He said we could fly one place and
• 14:11
  then be done. And then he's like, he's probably just slowly walking
• 14:14
  back, maybe hitchhiken, you
• 14:17
  know, thumb in the air as everybody's
• 14:20
  in there. Know the do. Didn't we have, like, wolves outside?
• 14:23
  >> Cameron: There's, like, an herb or something that we had.
• 14:26
  >> Skylar: Yes. You guys found the sword mint
• 14:29
  leaves. And there were some notes that suggested
• 14:31
  that these creatures didn't seem to like
• 14:34
  these sword mint leaves. it
• 14:37
  wasn't. It emphasized that it wasn't enough to, like,
• 14:40
  get them out of there permanently or anything like
• 14:43
  that. But, it did ward them off, at least temporarily, until they
• 14:46
  kind of got a little bit angrier to the point where they just kind
• 14:49
  of eventually ignored it. But it's good in a
• 14:51
  pinch, I think you
• 14:54
  guys pass it out so that everybody had at least a little bit of
• 14:57
  it.
• 14:57
  >> Cameron: Is there water nearby? I guess there's.
• 15:01
  >> Skylar: There's snow everywhere outside.
• 15:03
  >> Cameron: And what is. What is in this tent currently at our disposal?
• 15:06
  >> Mikayla: Our bodies.
• 15:08
  >> Skylar: There's no bodies in here, but there's plenty of beat up.
• 15:11
  Oh, yeah. Your bodies are, in fact, in here. That is true.
• 15:14
  plenty of beat up, broken furniture chunks
• 15:17
  and bits and all kinds of that kind of good stuff.
• 15:20
  There's, you know, papers. there's some various, like,
• 15:22
  bottles and such on the shelves
• 15:25
  that have, like, obscure, colored liquids and stuff. Failed
• 15:28
  experiments, so on and so forth.
• 15:30
  >> Cameron: So failed experiments. We could potentially
• 15:33
  have some stovetop, some burners
• 15:36
  type deals.
• 15:39
  Potentially.
• 15:40
  >> Skylar: It's a good thing this isn't like a high magic. If this was like d
• 15:43
  and D, I mean, you would just be pulling. What I'm
• 15:46
  hearing is you're pulling a shrek two, breaks
• 15:49
  into the fairy godmother's
• 15:52
  shop and just starts dumping all the potions all over
• 15:55
  the place with a variety of effects. But that is not what we're
• 15:58
  playing.
• 15:58
  >> Cameron: Can I roll to assess the situation?
• 16:00
  >> Skylar: Sure. Yeah, absolutely.
• 16:01
  >> Cameron: 14.
• 16:02
  >> Skylar: Holy cow. Okay, well, you get to ask me two, and
• 16:05
  you take plus one, ongoing, when you act on
• 16:08
  whatever answers I give you. Okay. All right. So
• 16:11
  it's what here can I use to blank who or
• 16:14
  what is the biggest threat? What should I be on
• 16:16
  the lookout for? What's my best way out in or
• 16:19
  through, and who or what is in the greatest
• 16:22
  danger?
• 16:23
  >> Cameron: So what here can I
• 16:25
  make to ward off them
• 16:28
  wolves?
• 16:29
  >> Skylar: Okay. What here can you use to ward off the wolves? Okay, well, you
• 16:32
  have spearmen. you could. Obviously,
• 16:34
  holding it is probably only gonna do you so much good. Right.
• 16:37
  That's keeping it pretty close to your person. They're gonna be able to come pretty
• 16:40
  close before they'll start smelling it and get warded back.
• 16:44
  But, there's plenty of furniture in here. You could tie a chunk to it,
• 16:47
  maybe use it as kind of a spear to kind of ward them
• 16:50
  back, keep, them at a little bit of a distance.
• 16:51
  >> Mikayla: Fire. You have an aroma.
• 16:54
  Smoke. Aroma. What is that called?
• 16:56
  >> Skylar: I almost had a sensei.
• 16:58
  >> Cameron: See, my thought was.
• 16:59
  >> Skylar: But yes, you could do that.
• 17:02
  >> Cameron: My thought was to boil it in water,
• 17:05
  make it like a tea, put it into one of
• 17:08
  the bottles, and use it as, like, a molotov
• 17:10
  cocktail. However, we don't have
• 17:13
  access to fire.
• 17:14
  >> Skylar: I would assume that is the tricky thing. But you do have plenty of wood
• 17:17
  in here. I would say,
• 17:20
  given that you obviously assess the
• 17:22
  situation, given that you. Cause, again, this is
• 17:25
  an opportunity for me to create the story when you guys kind of,
• 17:28
  like, do well on the rolls, and then you pitch
• 17:31
  ideas, right? So I'm gonna say that there is
• 17:33
  100% a. Ah, classic flint
• 17:36
  and steel in here. And obviously, you've got
• 17:39
  plenty of, like, torn up fabric. You've got plenty of torn up wood. You
• 17:42
  could get some fire going pretty quick. one thing that I'll
• 17:45
  put in a. Well, actually, I don't know. That's a question you could ask,
• 17:48
  I think.
• 17:49
  >> Cameron: So.
• 17:52
  >> Cameron: Are you guys spitballing these ideas out loud or.
• 17:54
  >> Cameron: Well, that was my intention, was because.
• 17:56
  >> Skylar: The wolves can hear you, man.
• 17:59
  >> Dave: Well, is probably rubbing some of that
• 18:02
  spearmint on his armpits.
• 18:05
  This will do the trick.
• 18:06
  >> Skylar: And that's another great idea as well.
• 18:09
  >> Dave: Gotta protect the vital organs.
• 18:11
  >> Cameron: That's true. Just armpits.
• 18:14
  >> Cameron: So I would like to take. I still have, like, one other
• 18:17
  question. Right, yes.
• 18:20
  What is our best
• 18:22
  way to defend ourselves?
• 18:26
  I guess aside from the sword mint, we
• 18:29
  establish that helps. But, like, what's the best way?
• 18:31
  Like, are they blind and one high? Do they have
• 18:34
  bad peripheral vision? Can they not
• 18:38
  smell too good? Is one of them coming up with a limp?
• 18:40
  >> Skylar: I would say that, I don't know how
• 18:43
  much you wouldn't. Brock would necessarily
• 18:45
  know about spirits and creatures and so on and so forth, but
• 18:48
  these are not just like normal wolves, or at least they're not
• 18:51
  anymore. so you
• 18:54
  imagine that although their sight probably works just
• 18:57
  fine, their other senses are probably dampened,
• 19:00
  as they're kind of, like, singularly focused, by
• 19:03
  whatever means it is that they are possessed by.
• 19:05
  They. They are outside the tent. They saw.
• 19:08
  Guo, maybe saw some movement. They definitely seem
• 19:11
  hesitant to enter the tent. Maybe it's because they can
• 19:14
  smell this assortment from outside.
• 19:17
  That could very well be possible. Maybe they don't want to go running into a
• 19:19
  situation like that, especially because you guys have been handling
• 19:22
  it. I would assume that, you know, particles are in the air and
• 19:25
  things along those lines, but they definitely don't seem like
• 19:28
  they're super interested in just
• 19:31
  running in and attacking.
• 19:34
  >> Cameron: Well, I would like to go with my Molotov
• 19:37
  cocktail route.
• 19:38
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 19:38
  >> Cameron: I. So I take some water, or I
• 19:41
  take some snow. I should say strip it up. And I put
• 19:44
  it in, like, a bottle or in, like, a
• 19:47
  pot, if there's one there. And I use the
• 19:50
  flint and steel with some of the broken furniture. Make a little
• 19:53
  fire.
• 19:53
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 19:55
  >> Cameron: And I boil water, and I put
• 19:57
  the swordman, after rubbing it on myself.
• 20:00
  Sure. For safety. And then I throw the
• 20:03
  swordman in and make some. Some sword mint tea.
• 20:05
  >> Skylar: Okay. All right. Sounds good.
• 20:06
  >> Cameron: Then I load it up into, like, five or six
• 20:09
  bottles, and I tie a piece of fabric, I
• 20:12
  tear it off, put it in said
• 20:15
  bottles, and I'm ready with a
• 20:17
  torch.
• 20:18
  >> Cameron: You just do all that and then.
• 20:20
  >> Skylar: Instant, I was gonna say, okay, so while you're working on that,
• 20:23
  you start, you know, getting the gear together and everything like that.
• 20:26
  While you're doing that, the rest of you guys, you kind of
• 20:29
  see what he's doing.
• 20:30
  >> Cameron: Do I see him starting to try to start a fire?
• 20:33
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 20:34
  >> Cameron: Yeah. I go, Brock,
• 20:36
  I'm, not exactly comfortable
• 20:39
  with you starting a fire while we're all in here.
• 20:41
  >> Cameron: Well, you know, I'm not
• 20:44
  exactly comfortable dying by a wolf.
• 20:47
  >> Cameron: Well, I would rather
• 20:50
  not be in an enclosed space within our fire again.
• 20:52
  >> Cameron: Personally, I mean. Okay.
• 20:55
  >> Skylar: As you mention this, you're met with basically
• 20:58
  an option because the wolves start to growl
• 21:00
  outside. and you see,
• 21:03
  as Brock is getting some of this stuff ready, one of the
• 21:06
  muzzles, one of the noses of one of these
• 21:09
  wolves kind of peek through the curtain.
• 21:11
  >> Cameron: Can I whack it?
• 21:13
  >> Skylar: Yeah, you can. Certainly.
• 21:14
  >> Cameron: As my bo staff.
• 21:15
  >> Skylar: Sure. dose bop
• 21:18
  it on the nose. Yeah, just do it.
• 21:21
  >> Cameron: Teach it a lesson. You know, do a classic.
• 21:23
  >> Skylar: Rely on your skills and training.
• 21:26
  >> Cameron: 1010.
• 21:27
  >> Skylar: All right. You succeed on a hit,
• 21:30
  you whack this, wolf on the nose. You hear
• 21:33
  it kind of, you know, do a whine as it kind of
• 21:36
  backs up, and then it just starts to growl. It's getting a little bit
• 21:39
  angrier, but you've bought a little bit of time as Brock is quickly getting
• 21:42
  the rest of his whatnot ready and
• 21:45
  completed. What? Not your whatnot.
• 21:48
  That's right. but at this point, both wolves are
• 21:50
  getting upset. they're not poking through, but you have a
• 21:53
  moment to do something.
• 21:55
  >> Cameron: Just two, three.
• 21:56
  >> Skylar: okay. Yeah. Is there anything anybody else would like?
• 21:58
  >> Cameron: Any other bright ideas? Guys, I don't know how much longer I can
• 22:01
  hold this door.
• 22:02
  >> Skylar: It's very possible they will just run in. They seem like they're
• 22:05
  getting a little bit antsy outside.
• 22:07
  >> Mikayla: Do the whole one two where we
• 22:10
  open up the door when they're coming to
• 22:13
  attack it, and then open it, and they stumble
• 22:16
  inside and we sneak out, shut the door.
• 22:19
  >> Cameron: It's a curtain.
• 22:19
  >> Skylar: It's just like a curtain, Mika.
• 22:22
  So you're gonna pull back the curtain as they kind of run in.
• 22:26
  Okay. are you doing this with.
• 22:29
  Whoa, whoa. Are you grabbing the other curtain?
• 22:32
  >> Dave: Sure.
• 22:33
  >> Skylar: All right.
• 22:35
  >> Mikayla: Magic trick in circus tricks.
• 22:38
  >> Skylar: Sure.
• 22:40
  >> Cameron: Isn't that. I was gonna say, it makes them
• 22:43
  disappear, not appear very
• 22:45
  quickly inside a room with all of us.
• 22:49
  >> Skylar: Okay, sounds good.
• 22:50
  >> Cameron: The adults sound good.
• 22:51
  >> Mikayla: They're gonna come in anyway, and they're not gonna meet any resistance.
• 22:54
  They'll be confused for a second.
• 22:55
  >> Cameron: What if we, like, while they ran in, we
• 22:58
  ran out the other door.
• 23:00
  >> Skylar: So there's windows. Hey, but there's
• 23:03
  only really one door per se. You could
• 23:05
  absolutely get out there large enough windows. And again,
• 23:08
  this whole thing has been torn apart quite a bit, so
• 23:11
  the windows are plenty big for a person to swoop right
• 23:14
  out.
• 23:15
  >> Cameron: Oh, what's the roof look like?
• 23:17
  >> Skylar: it's not great. It's kind of starting to cave a
• 23:20
  little bit, probably from the weight of snow and obviously
• 23:23
  the lack of use and repair and everything like that. It's just kind of worn
• 23:26
  out. So it's starting to, like, kind of. Of. Kind of collapse in just
• 23:29
  ever so slightly. But things, creak quite
• 23:32
  a bit. You wonder if this structure is
• 23:35
  pretty weak at this point, honestly, you
• 23:38
  definitely wouldn't want to go slamming into walls or any
• 23:41
  sort of pillars.
• 23:43
  Load bearing, for sure,
• 23:49
  I guess. Again, sometimes ideas kind of spark as.
• 23:52
  >> Cameron: You go along,
• 23:55
  so, all the.
• 23:56
  >> Mikayla: More you just knock out a pole when they come
• 23:58
  running in, and then we sneak out real quick,
• 24:01
  but it falls on them.
• 24:03
  >> Cameron: But then what do I do with my molotovs?
• 24:05
  >> Mikayla: You can throw it after we're all.
• 24:07
  >> Dave: Out to keep them inside.
• 24:10
  >> Cameron: And set them on fire while
• 24:13
  they're.
• 24:13
  >> Mikayla: Under, after Bill's not in
• 24:16
  the house.
• 24:17
  >> Skylar: Or we preferably.
• 24:18
  >> Cameron: Yes.
• 24:20
  >> Dave: Gonna go grab,
• 24:22
  like, a, chair.
• 24:24
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 24:25
  >> Dave: Or a stool or something. Whatever you can find.
• 24:28
  >> Skylar: Yeah, absolutely. It probably won't be in full. You
• 24:31
  know, if you wanted to sit on it, you might have a problem. But if you're gonna use
• 24:34
  it for just about anything else.
• 24:35
  >> Dave: Okay. And he's gonna go to the other
• 24:38
  curtain flap, with one side.
• 24:41
  Sorry. Everybody get to the sides,
• 24:45
  you know, next to the flaps.
• 24:47
  >> Cameron: Okay.
• 24:48
  >> Cameron: I get by this point
• 24:51
  are my. Is my stuff.
• 24:52
  >> Cameron: Yeah.
• 24:52
  >> Skylar: You're quickly pouring your, juice concoction into
• 24:55
  these bottles, and you're grabbing a
• 24:58
  chunk of fat. You rip a chunk of fabric as you run
• 25:01
  by, and you get to the side of one of
• 25:04
  these flaps.
• 25:05
  >> Cameron: And I got a torch.
• 25:06
  >> Skylar: All right.
• 25:07
  >> Cameron: I got a light them somehow.
• 25:08
  >> Skylar: All right, sounds good. Also, just
• 25:11
  want to emphasize the fact that a Molontov works because it's
• 25:14
  high alcohol. Yeah. And it bursts into flames. This
• 25:17
  is water.
• 25:17
  >> Cameron: This is water and tea.
• 25:19
  >> Skylar: So, I don't know if the fire. I mean, I guess you could just
• 25:22
  start. I mean, it's a dry structure, right? It's a cold,
• 25:25
  freezing cold out here. It's a very dry
• 25:28
  climate.
• 25:29
  >> Cameron: I mean, Brock's never been the smartest guy. He
• 25:32
  just.
• 25:32
  >> Skylar: Oh, okay. Yeah, he's, you're playing your character. I
• 25:35
  appreciate that.
• 25:36
  >> Cameron: Well, yeah, leto, he means
• 25:39
  well. He's got like this tea infused
• 25:43
  quote unquote flame ball that's
• 25:46
  definitely 100% gonna work.
• 25:49
  >> Dave: M I'm sure whoa's gonna
• 25:52
  take his coat off.
• 25:54
  >> Dave: And dress the chair with it.
• 25:57
  >> Skylar: Okay, I see where this is going now.
• 26:00
  >> Dave: And he's gonna toss it into the middle of the room.
• 26:03
  >> Skylar: All right, sounds good. All right.
• 26:05
  >> Dave: So, you know, straight in front of the
• 26:08
  door.
• 26:08
  >> Skylar: Okay, sounds good. m Mika, are you still doing
• 26:11
  your, your thingama thinger with the
• 26:14
  flap? Okay, sounds good. I will let you
• 26:16
  decide. If you want to help.
• 26:19
  Use the actual, like help, option,
• 26:22
  but otherwise, Guo, I want you to roll a trick.
• 26:26
  >> Dave: No, that's
• 26:29
  a four.
• 26:30
  >> Skylar: Oh, boy. Well, I'm gonna be
• 26:33
  honest with you, Mika. I don't think that's gonna help you too much
• 26:36
  to, to do, the help there.
• 26:38
  >> Mikayla: What if I pull the currents extra hard as they open
• 26:41
  it?
• 26:42
  >> Skylar: If you would like to roll, I mean, they're brittle. If you
• 26:45
  would like to roll a trick separately, I
• 26:48
  think that would be fine since you're both kind of doing two different
• 26:50
  things. Honestly, yours would be the first.
• 26:53
  And then Guo's idea is kind of the second.
• 26:58
  >> Mikayla: Eight.
• 26:59
  >> Skylar: Eight. Okay. That's a success. You can pick one of the
• 27:02
  options available on trick. And actually, this
• 27:05
  is probably one of those times that we finally use
• 27:07
  one of the other options. But that's just my,
• 27:10
  my thinking.
• 27:11
  >> Mikayla: Oh, I was just gonna say they stumble.
• 27:14
  >> Skylar: I think that's a good, good thought. So you get plus
• 27:17
  one forward when acting against him. Alright, so
• 27:19
  basically this is what happens. Guo gets his,
• 27:22
  his fake person set up inside
• 27:25
  the, wolves. They leap forward,
• 27:28
  charging into this hut, just
• 27:31
  as, kind of bracing themselves or
• 27:34
  impacting through this, this curtain, because it's a pretty thick
• 27:37
  curtain, all things considered. And they knew that when he, the one
• 27:40
  pressed his muzzle in there. And who knows? Maybe these guys would been in
• 27:42
  this hut before. So they were ready for this thing to hit
• 27:45
  them, and having to kind of push through it and instead it
• 27:48
  gets pulled back. And whether it be just by the
• 27:51
  surprise of that or the fact that they were
• 27:54
  braced, for no reason, they kind of tumble
• 27:57
  inside the tent. But unfortunately,
• 28:00
  they do not look over at, guo's
• 28:02
  little, attempt as fake scarecrow, you could say.
• 28:05
  Instead, they turn around and they see the four of
• 28:08
  you all kind of gathered around the door.
• 28:11
  What are we doing? You've got a variety of different options and
• 28:14
  opportunities here. You're just running,
• 28:16
  gunning right out the curtain. Okay, sounds good. All right,
• 28:19
  well, what are you doing?
• 28:21
  >> Dave: I'm, following suit.
• 28:23
  >> Skylar: Okay, sounds good.
• 28:25
  >> Mikayla: My name is not suit.
• 28:30
  >> Skylar: Suit, wait up. Why did, where would you even
• 28:33
  get that? That is pretty good.
• 28:35
  >> Cameron: It's pretty good.
• 28:37
  >> Skylar: what's Bill doing? Probably I follow.
• 28:40
  >> Cameron: Whoa.
• 28:41
  >> Skylar: Ah. okay. Okay.
• 28:42
  >> Dave: That is my name.
• 28:44
  >> Skylar: And last but not least, Brock, who's
• 28:47
  taking up the rear.
• 28:48
  >> Cameron: I follow Bill
• 28:50
  with and kind of just kind of chuck one of
• 28:53
  the, one of them definitely going to
• 28:56
  work. Molotovs.
• 28:57
  >> Skylar: You've got it lit?
• 28:59
  >> Cameron: I got it lit.
• 29:00
  >> Skylar: Okay. All right, so I like,
• 29:03
  I just.
• 29:04
  >> Cameron: Like, light two of them. like the little rags. I just kind of chuck
• 29:07
  them on the ground.
• 29:08
  >> Skylar: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 29:08
  >> Cameron: I would like to imagine.
• 29:09
  >> Skylar: Did you say two?
• 29:10
  >> Cameron: I mean, I made multiple.
• 29:12
  >> Skylar: No, I know, I know. I just, I want to clarify because people are going to keep
• 29:15
  track.
• 29:15
  >> Cameron: I like to think that if I roll
• 29:18
  poorly, the glass just shatters and the
• 29:21
  water extinguishes the,
• 29:23
  yeah, I.
• 29:25
  >> Skylar: Mean, that's possible that it happens either way, but
• 29:28
  here's what I'm gonna tell you. Here's what I'm gonna have you do. I'm gonna
• 29:31
  have you do a push your luck, and I'm gonna
• 29:34
  have you, you get a plus one because of your. Assess the
• 29:36
  situation. I do have, that, yes.
• 29:38
  >> Cameron: How common are Molotov cocktails in the world of
• 29:41

  >> Skylar: I mean, anyone that puts a rag in a bottle of
• 29:45
  high proof alcohol and lights
• 29:48
  it on fire, it can make one. So, I mean, it's not,
• 29:51
  I'm saying.
• 29:52
  >> Cameron: Have these been invented yet? Well, I think
• 29:55
  Brock invent the first Molotov cocktail,
• 29:58
  but it's like, here's the thing. A non
• 30:00
  functioning mold.
• 30:03
  >> Skylar: As long as the concept of high proof alcohol being
• 30:06
  flammable exists, which we do know it does because, for
• 30:09
  instance, take the episode where, they're in that sort
• 30:12
  of, like, fire nation integrated
• 30:14
  city. I can't remember which one it was. and the one dude is,
• 30:17
  like, blowing flames, right? And he is a firebender, but
• 30:20
  he was doing kind of, like, a whole trick, and it showed he had, I believe he had a
• 30:23
  bottle, and he was, you know, drink and then blow the
• 30:26
  flames. So I think the concept is
• 30:29
  known. So I see no reason why molotovs
• 30:32
  wouldn't exist. M definitely wouldn't be used very
• 30:35
  often by firebenders.
• 30:36
  >> Cameron: Cause why, in hindsight, I should
• 30:39
  have looked if there was any oil that would have been
• 30:42
  smart, but, what do I roll that with?
• 30:44
  >> Skylar: Yes. So pusher luck is gonna be with
• 30:48
  passion.
• 31:01

  our merch tab to see all the amazing products and designs that you
• 31:34
  can get. Now back to the show.
• 31:42
  >> Cameron: So I got a twelve, a totally can. I rolled a
• 31:45
  nine, and plus three stat effects.
• 31:48
  >> Skylar: Yeah. On the ten plus. Your boldness pays off despite the cost
• 31:51
  the GM tells you. Okay, well, I think we've already kind of
• 31:54
  established what the opera the additional opportunity is. So,
• 31:57
  bottom line, you hurl two flaming
• 32:00
  tea bottles.
• 32:01
  >> Cameron: Essentially. Yeah.
• 32:02
  >> Skylar: They splash on either side of
• 32:05
  the walls, these old wood wooden walls in this old
• 32:08
  wooden hut that's been creaking and falling
• 32:11
  apart and just is completely dried out.
• 32:13
  Right. The t does not
• 32:16
  splash up high enough to put the flames
• 32:19
  out, so instead it starts the walls
• 32:22
  on fire. I would imagine you probably
• 32:25
  hit kind of like, because you kind of said that you almost, like, drop them,
• 32:28
  basically. So I'm imagining you hit near
• 32:30
  the entrance. So these wolves are not,
• 32:33
  interested in leaving because now that smell is around there, and
• 32:36
  they're kind of, like, backing up from it. Right. They're freaking
• 32:39
  out. So you basically ignited
• 32:42
  the entrance and exit. Really, the only way
• 32:45
  out for the most part. you've ignited that, and you're keeping
• 32:48
  them at bay from falling after you. Nice.
• 32:50
  So very successful, for sure.
• 32:53
  >> Cameron: You thought, the water is just gonna
• 32:55
  extinguish the flames.
• 32:57
  >> Skylar: And to clarify for everybody listening, you
• 32:59
  now have three bottles left.
• 33:02
  >> Cameron: Three bottles, yes. Of the
• 33:05
  definitely now canonically working
• 33:08
  cocktail.
• 33:09
  >> Skylar: They to some extent work, maybe not to the fullest
• 33:12
  extent.
• 33:12
  >> Cameron: I really have to just roll twelves anytime I plan
• 33:15
  to use those.
• 33:16
  >> Skylar: Right?
• 33:16
  >> Cameron: Cause otherwise the water's just gonna put it out.
• 33:19
  >> Skylar: That's true. Well, and I feel like flame isn't really the
• 33:22
  important thing. No, all things considered. But
• 33:25
  whatever the case, you guys are out, as you guys start to run
• 33:27
  away, this place starts to
• 33:30
  ignite. I mean, the flames have plenty of stuff to eat
• 33:33
  on all this broken, beat
• 33:36
  up furniture that's torn apart, plenty of fabric and so
• 33:39
  on and so forth that's scattered around in there. Plenty,
• 33:42
  for it to grab onto and it just starts igniting.
• 33:45
  So you, guys watch as eventually,
• 33:48
  something gives way, the roof of this building
• 33:51
  collapses and the wolves, as far. As far as
• 33:54
  you know, are not a problem anymore.
• 33:56
  >> Mikayla: Hey, Bill, you want to warm yourself by the fire?
• 33:59
  You're talking about how freezing cold you were.
• 34:04
  >> Cameron: that's very funny, Mika. if anyone's
• 34:07
  cold, it's probably.
• 34:08
  >> Cameron: Whoa.
• 34:09
  >> Cameron: He just left his coat.
• 34:11
  >> Skylar: Oh, no, you didn't. Oh, no.
• 34:13
  >> Cameron: Yeah, sorry about that.
• 34:16
  >> Skylar: well, now the new mission is go
• 34:18
  find glow. A new coat.
• 34:20
  >> Cameron: And. Bill, I don't even have a
• 34:22
  cool.
• 34:24
  >> Cameron: Can we,
• 34:25
  >> Cameron: Oh, yeah, I did grab one.
• 34:29
  Well, I grabbed two coats because.
• 34:31
  >> Dave: Oh, take turn.
• 34:32
  >> Cameron: Because I was extra. I was extra cold.
• 34:40
  >> Skylar: But if. Oh, go ahead.
• 34:42
  >> Cameron: I was gonna say I've got a torch. I can just kind of hold
• 34:44
  it.
• 34:45
  >> Cameron: If I roll a six. Bill was extra cold.
• 34:47
  >> Cameron: Crap. That's a
• 34:50
  six.
• 34:53
  >> Skylar: What I will say is that, you look around and there's several
• 34:56
  other structures in this area. So there's definitely
• 34:59
  plenty of opportunity to go and see if there's
• 35:02
  another coat.
• 35:03
  >> Cameron: And is there another coat?
• 35:05
  >> Skylar: I don't know. Are you going to go another
• 35:07
  snapshot?
• 35:09
  >> Dave: I'm good, guys. I can, I can tough it out.
• 35:11
  >> Cameron: Any building of no use to us. Can I set
• 35:14
  it on fire?
• 35:15
  >> Dave: Glow is very cold.
• 35:17
  >> Cameron: You sound great.
• 35:19
  >> Cameron: Can we ravage every building, whatever is of no
• 35:22
  use to us? I just said you're not cold?
• 35:24
  >> Dave: No.
• 35:24
  >> Cameron: You don't need to set everything on fire.
• 35:26
  >> Cameron: I don't need to.
• 35:28
  >> Skylar: Well, who's wearing it?
• 35:30
  >> Mikayla: I just was wearing it.
• 35:32
  >> Cameron: Well, let's get.
• 35:33
  >> Dave: I said I'm good, Mika.
• 35:37
  I can tough it out. As I start to
• 35:40
  shiver, I roll.
• 35:41
  >> Mikayla: My eyes and walk away
• 35:44
  all,
• 35:44
  >> Skylar: Right, well, are you guys going towards any of the
• 35:47
  buildings? I would say there are. Let's see, there's
• 35:50
  two small cabins. There's a few cabins
• 35:53
  that are just derelict, right? Like, they've almost pretty much entirely
• 35:55
  collapsed. They look like small cabins, or huts
• 35:58
  or whatever you want to call them, things that people would have just lived in.
• 36:01
  there's one that's still pretty. Fairly intact. It's a much
• 36:04
  larger cabin or hut, rather. Gosh, I gotta start
• 36:07
  using that term. And then there are two,
• 36:10
  cabins. And I use that correctly, this
• 36:13
  time. There are two cabins that are kind of on opposite
• 36:16
  ends of the outskirts of this
• 36:19
  village. Which of those three are you guys
• 36:22
  headed to?
• 36:22
  >> Cameron: How cozy them cabins are?
• 36:25
  >> Skylar: Pretty cozy. Pretty cozy, both of them,
• 36:28
  honestly.
• 36:28
  >> Mikayla: Which one looks better?
• 36:29
  >> Skylar: Which one looks like it's in better shape?
• 36:31
  >> Mikayla: Yeah. Or, like, just, like, if there's, like, a
• 36:34
  higher standing. Like, if I can tell if there's, like, a wealthier,
• 36:37
  like, higher important.
• 36:40
  >> Cameron: Is there one that says coat tent?
• 36:43
  >> Skylar: Neither room says coat tent. There's one that definitely just
• 36:46
  looks better. By far.
• 36:48
  >> Mikayla: I was good as I can also case the joint.
• 36:51
  >> Cameron: Let's go into that.
• 36:53
  >> Mikayla: Which means when I assess a situation, I can add
• 36:56
  these questions to the list I ask.
• 36:58
  >> Skylar: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 36:59
  >> Mikayla: And I can always ask one extra question from these options,
• 37:02
  even on events.
• 37:03
  >> Skylar: Oh, all right. Yeah. So are you headed to
• 37:06
  that cabin?
• 37:06
  >> Mikayla: Would you rather me do that?
• 37:09
  >> Skylar: What, are the extra questions?
• 37:10
  >> Mikayla: What here is most valuable or interesting? Who or what is
• 37:13
  most vulnerable? Who here is in control?
• 37:16
  Wealthiest has most. Most power?
• 37:17
  >> Skylar: Oh, okay. I would say use it when you get to the cabin.
• 37:20
  >> Mikayla: Okay, fine with me.
• 37:22
  >> Skylar: Sounds good. You can find some. From some. Some nifty little
• 37:25
  secrets. So I'm gonna say you guys head to this nicer,
• 37:28
  cabin. Let's say, it's got, like, a
• 37:31
  variety of pelts that are kind of all over the
• 37:34
  outside of it. Obviously, they're not in great condition. Just over
• 37:37
  time. Right. They've just. They've been sitting
• 37:40
  here, not necessarily rotting, because I think the core cold kind
• 37:43
  of helps keep that away. but, you know,
• 37:45
  they're just old.
• 37:47
  >> Mikayla: Old pelts, mothballs and all
• 37:50
  that.
• 37:50
  >> Skylar: Yeah, yeah. And so, but
• 37:53
  there's a lot of them. And obviously, within this kind
• 37:56
  of culture, hunting is. Is a big thing, and
• 37:59
  so, therefore, pelts are also kind of a
• 38:02
  big deal. Keeps, people warm. You're able to use it
• 38:05
  for beds and furniture and just, coats and everything
• 38:08
  else, which. Coats is obviously an important
• 38:11
  cause right now. Anyway, you guys, head inside,
• 38:13
  and unbeknownst or unlike
• 38:16
  everywhere else, quite a bit of this
• 38:19
  is pretty much intact. There's not a lot of
• 38:21
  this particular hut that seems to be torn apart. Like a lot of the other
• 38:24
  things are. Micah, if you'd like
• 38:27
  to roll your special skill and
• 38:30
  case the joint, kind of a roguish
• 38:33
  character, something that you
• 38:35
  scavenging and so on and so forth, is kind of a
• 38:38
  big, trained thing that you
• 38:40
  developed.
• 38:42
  >> Mikayla: 1010.
• 38:43
  >> Skylar: All right, so you get, what, two questions
• 38:46
  plus one more of
• 38:48
  yours? or I guess a total of.
• 38:50
  >> Mikayla: Three, I would imagine, plus ask two. Yeah.
• 38:53
  Okay, so I'd get asked two from the normal and then one
• 38:56
  from my thing.
• 38:57
  >> Skylar: I think you can do three total. But does the
• 39:00
  one say you get plus one question explicitly
• 39:03
  from your list?
• 39:03
  >> Mikayla: Oh, I guess it just says add these questions to the list.
• 39:06
  >> Skylar: Okay, and then what was the part about
• 39:09
  asking an additional or something like that, whether you fail
• 39:12
  or what was it?
• 39:14
  >> Mikayla: I can always ask one extra question from those
• 39:16
  options.
• 39:17
  >> Skylar: Okay. So you have to take one from your case, the
• 39:20
  joint questions, but otherwise the other two can be from either.
• 39:23
  >> Mikayla: I'm gonna ask what here is the most valuable
• 39:26
  or interesting to me.
• 39:29
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 39:30
  >> Skylar: I will say you find three
• 39:34
  ish things. So one thing that you find is
• 39:37
  a coat. Wow, you probably find
• 39:39
  a couple of coats, really just pelts that are like, they have
• 39:42
  sleeve holes. So you could, I mean,
• 39:45
  whatever you think, is. I mean there's just about any
• 39:48
  animal that's got fur. You probably find a pelt for it
• 39:51
  and a pretty decent. You can make a coat or a blanket out of
• 39:53
  it. you also find a,
• 39:56
  ah, stash of various weapons. So
• 39:59
  I'm talking like some bone spears, you
• 40:02
  might find even a bow with some arrows.
• 40:05
  ah, I'd say those are probably the two main kinds of
• 40:08
  weapons that probably would be used around here. So there's
• 40:11
  that, there's only one bow and a handful of arrows.
• 40:14
  Maybe like five or six arrows, but maybe two or three
• 40:16
  spears if you want them. Totally up to you. and
• 40:19
  then you find a very nice, with a
• 40:22
  buckle. It, looks like maybe some kind of
• 40:24
  journal or handwritten book of some
• 40:27
  kind.
• 40:29
  >> Cameron: Of like charge past and be like, dibs on the bow and
• 40:32
  arrow.
• 40:32
  >> Skylar: Oh, you're gonna say dibs on the book?
• 40:34
  >> Cameron: And I was like, funny,
• 40:37
  that ain't my.
• 40:39
  >> Cameron: Can you even fire a bow and arrow?
• 40:41
  >> Cameron: Can you fire a bow and arrow?
• 40:43
  >> Cameron: Yeah, actually I was kind of trained in one
• 40:45
  bow.
• 40:46
  >> Skylar: Staffs and bows and arrows.
• 40:48
  >> Cameron: I was just military trained, actually.
• 40:50
  >> Dave: Well, forget who took care of
• 40:53
  that gator shark
• 40:56
  didn't.
• 40:57
  >> Skylar: I wish they didn't take care of the gator
• 40:59
  shark.
• 41:01
  >> Cameron: I jumped on its back and stabbed its
• 41:03
  eyes.
• 41:04
  >> Dave: I seem to remember a certain
• 41:07
  hat wearing captain who played a major
• 41:10
  role.
• 41:11
  >> Skylar: I want to.
• 41:12
  >> Cameron: He was the captain.
• 41:13
  >> Cameron: He was the captain.
• 41:15
  >> Skylar: I want to insert a spirit in this. It's
• 41:18
  just a small spirit. It's just the porcupine
• 41:20
  dad from over the hedge. And he says, don't forget
• 41:23
  about these snazzy looking spears. Over
• 41:26
  here.
• 41:31
  >> Cameron: Just to point out Wisconsin accent.
• 41:34
  >> Skylar: Yep.
• 41:35
  >> Mikayla: And don't forget, as my other questions.
• 41:38
  >> Cameron: Have a spear porcupine. Dad, it's my bow
• 41:41
  staff.
• 41:41
  >> Cameron: But it doesn't.
• 41:42
  >> Skylar: I don't see no point on that. There will be woe
• 41:45
  staff. You got to be used.
• 41:47
  >> Cameron: There's a non blunt.
• 41:48
  >> Skylar: There is kind of like a tricky thing. If you want to get specific about
• 41:51
  something, like, sort of interpret one of those questions
• 41:54
  a little bit more specifically. Feel free to do that
• 41:57
  as well.
• 41:58
  >> Dave: All right, fine. But I'm taking
• 42:01
  these coats then. It just takes
• 42:04
  all I've put on.
• 42:05
  >> Mikayla: I was gonna hand you and Bill one.
• 42:08
  >> Cameron: Oh, I got two.
• 42:10
  >> Mikayla: Yeah, going to give.
• 42:12
  >> Cameron: I'm sorry. I already have two.
• 42:13
  >> Dave: Okay, you get to the
• 42:16
  coats first, then. And you hand me a bill.
• 42:19
  >> Mikayla: I was also gonna throw him a spear. Boat
• 42:21
  bill.
• 42:22
  >> Cameron: Yeah, you can
• 42:25
  have a spear.
• 42:26
  >> Mikayla: You don't have to pick it up. I'm just saying throw it at
• 42:29
  you.
• 42:30
  >> Cameron: I just was saying I could use it.
• 42:31
  >> Skylar: No, no, you're miscarrying. She's throwing it at
• 42:34
  you.
• 42:35
  >> Cameron: I'll catch it then.
• 42:36
  >> Skylar: She's throwing it at you.
• 42:39
  Yes.
• 42:40
  >> Cameron: Okay, well, I'm gonna catch it. Make sure I don't
• 42:43
  get. She just chucked at me.
• 42:45
  >> Mikayla: You can also throw in your general direction. I wasn't
• 42:48
  actually.
• 42:49
  >> Skylar: My bad.
• 42:50
  >> Cameron: This is the enforcing contest again.
• 42:54
  >> Mikayla: Okay, what if I asked? well, we already know what the
• 42:57
  biggest threat is from the other cabin, correct?
• 43:00
  >> Skylar: Sure.
• 43:01
  >> Mikayla: Okay.
• 43:01
  >> Skylar: I mean, unless there's a new threat.
• 43:04
  >> Mikayla: what should I be on the lookout for?
• 43:07
  >> Cameron: Flying spear.
• 43:08
  >> Skylar: So you are on the lookout for any
• 43:11
  sort of clues that obviously are going to point you
• 43:13
  to, wherever Tutanka was, right? Cause
• 43:16
  that's obviously what you're looking for. you
• 43:19
  start to look around and you find a variety of
• 43:22
  items. or even just from peeking into the
• 43:24
  booklet itself, that this is not
• 43:27
  Tatunka's cabin, but that,
• 43:30
  from what you also read, you gathered that
• 43:33
  Tatonka's cabin is the other cabin that you guys
• 43:36
  didn't choose to go over to. So, there's
• 43:38
  that.
• 43:39
  >> Mikayla: I didn't choose a nicer cabin.
• 43:41
  >> Skylar: Well, you chose the nicest cabin.
• 43:43
  >> Skylar: He wasn't in the nicest cabin.
• 43:44
  >> Mikayla: Well, that sounds weird. Who or what is the biggest
• 43:47
  threat?
• 43:47
  >> Skylar: Who or what is the biggest threat? Okay.
• 43:49
  >> Mikayla: Which I feel like. I feel like I know the answer
• 43:52
  to, but.
• 43:53
  >> Cameron: Well, actually, with a bow and arrow.
• 43:55
  >> Skylar: It'S anybody who cares.
• 43:58
  >> Mikayla: I already wrote it on my note.
• 44:00
  >> Skylar: She already claimed it.
• 44:01
  >> Cameron: Okay. You can easily.
• 44:02
  >> Skylar: But don't forget about these snazzy looking spears.
• 44:05
  >> Cameron: I have one.
• 44:06
  >> Skylar: Yes, I'm talking to Brock now.
• 44:10
  okay, why don't we have a.
• 44:11
  >> Cameron: Bow and arrow competition? You know, who's the best at the bow
• 44:14
  and arrow that they could keep?
• 44:15
  >> Dave: The bow and arrow?
• 44:16
  >> Cameron: Yeah, it's only a plot.
• 44:17
  >> Cameron: I'm down for this. Bow and arrow. We roll
• 44:20
  at dawn. Okay?
• 44:21
  >> Skylar: No, you guys are gonna be here a while,
• 44:24
  okay?
• 44:28
  >> Cameron: We're just gonna sit here waiting on.
• 44:31
  >> Skylar: The fire, close as it is.
• 44:34
  okay, so,
• 44:36
  Mika, your last question was asking about the biggest
• 44:39
  threat. So you look around. Obviously there's nothing here
• 44:42
  in the immediate moment that's threatening to you. so you turn
• 44:45
  to this book that you found, and you open it up, and what you discover
• 44:48
  is that it is a series of
• 44:52
  journal, entries from a
• 44:54
  hunter. And it doesn't say who
• 44:57
  the hunter is, what his name was, or her name is.
• 45:00
  Because that would be weird, right? Why would they be saying their own
• 45:03
  name, their own journal? What it does say
• 45:05
  inside is there's three entries kind of near the end.
• 45:08
  And those are kind of your focus, right? So, first one
• 45:11
  says, been seeing more.
• 45:13
  >> Cameron: And more of them possessed beasts every week it
• 45:15
  seems. One day it's just a couple of
• 45:18
  arctic hens, the next, it's a whole
• 45:21
  buffalo yak. Sure is making my
• 45:24
  job a heck of a lot harder. The things ain't
• 45:27
  like they used to be. Most of them were scared of ya. you'd
• 45:29
  sneak up on them, and if you weren't quiet enough, they'd run
• 45:32
  away. But now they see or hear you,
• 45:35
  they attack. It don't make no
• 45:38
  sense.
• 45:39
  >> Skylar: And then the next entry I been.
• 45:41
  >> Cameron: Watching lately, keeping an eye on the beasts
• 45:44
  and where they're going and where they're coming
• 45:46
  from. Been seeing a lot of them, with the
• 45:49
  blue eyes, coming off the mountain near the north
• 45:52
  cave. I wonder what's going on over
• 45:55
  there.
• 45:55
  >> Skylar: And then finally, the last entry in the
• 45:58
  journal.
• 45:59
  >> Cameron: Enough is enough. These beasts have been getting
• 46:02
  more and more aggressive each day, and they've been
• 46:05
  attacking the village once a week. I ain't gonna
• 46:08
  stand by and watch them hurt my family and friends.
• 46:11
  I'm, headed up to that cave and figuring out what's
• 46:14
  going on in there. Maybe I'll find the
• 46:17
  secret behind this whole thing.
• 46:19
  Maybe I'll get eaten by monsters. But one way
• 46:22
  or another, I can't just sit and watch them
• 46:25
  drag another person up to those caves.
• 46:28
  >> Skylar: And then that's it.
• 46:30
  >> Mikayla: So we're going to the caves.
• 46:32
  >> Dave: What was that, Micah?
• 46:34
  >> Mikayla: We're going to the caves.
• 46:35
  >> Dave: What caves?
• 46:37
  >> Mikayla: Up, that mountain.
• 46:39
  >> Dave: What's up there?
• 46:43
  >> Skylar: And in that moment, Micah thought to herself, do I tell
• 46:46
  them that it said monsters, or do I tell them something
• 46:49
  nice like popcorn?
• 46:51
  >> Mikayla: Yeah.
• 46:52
  >> Cameron: Ah. What's in that case?
• 46:52
  >> Dave: Burlington coat factory.
• 46:55
  >> Cameron: Coat store.
• 46:57
  >> Mikayla: Okay, remind me, what was Mister
• 46:59
  Okoran's letter? Why are we here?
• 47:01
  >> Skylar: You were here looking for Chief Tatongka?
• 47:04
  >> Mikayla: Yeah. So obviously we're going to the caves. This
• 47:06
  diary that I'm reading says
• 47:10
  people were going to the caves, and so Tatanka's
• 47:12
  probably there.
• 47:13
  >> Cameron: Was that the last thing he wrote in that book?
• 47:16
  >> Mikayla: Absolutely. He didn't say
• 47:18
  Tatanka specifically, but he said
• 47:21
  people.
• 47:21
  >> Cameron: So people are going into these caves and not returning
• 47:24
  to write more in the book?
• 47:26
  >> Cameron: Well, they might have moved homes,
• 47:29
  or.
• 47:29
  >> Cameron: More likely, they're dead.
• 47:31
  >> Skylar: Maybe they went to the caves. Ah. Brock.
• 47:32
  >> Cameron: Amazing.
• 47:34
  >> Cameron: I may not be able to read, but
• 47:37
  I ain't stupid.
• 47:38
  >> Mikayla: But it was.
• 47:42
  >> Cameron: Where else would he be tried to light fire?
• 47:45
  >> Mikayla: He basically said he was stupid earlier.
• 47:47
  It's not. Well, like, I'm giving he choose on
• 47:50
  metal.
• 47:51
  >> Cameron: No, I chew on metal, and I try to light fire with water.
• 47:54
  It's not looking great.
• 47:55
  >> Skylar: That's true.
• 47:57
  >> Dave: It's probably just like a
• 47:59
  captain's log, you know, it stays with. This is
• 48:02
  the cabin log. They probably started a cave
• 48:05
  log when they got to the cave.
• 48:07
  >> Skylar: Yeah, he would know what the captain's log number
• 48:10
  347. We have entered
• 48:13
  the caves the second.
• 48:14
  >> Cameron: We see a skeleton in that cave. You are getting the fattest.
• 48:17
  I told you so.
• 48:18
  >> Cameron: M skeleton, skeleton,
• 48:21
  skeleton. That's what you worried about? We're being
• 48:23
  attacked by monsters, wolves.
• 48:26
  And you're worried about skeletons?
• 48:28
  >> Cameron: No, no.
• 48:28
  >> Skylar: I personally, as somebody playing a
• 48:31
  necromancer in a d and d campaign, take offense to that.
• 48:34
  >> Cameron: I'm worried about being right. That's what I care
• 48:37
  about. Because, if
• 48:39
  we encounter a skeleton, a, skeleton,
• 48:42
  skeleton, I would like
• 48:45
  for the bow and arrow to then be in my position. That is.
• 48:48
  >> Skylar: What?
• 48:48
  >> Cameron: Annoying.
• 48:50
  >> Skylar: You guys haven't made a bet since, like, season one.
• 48:53
  >> Dave: Oh, yeah.
• 48:53
  >> Cameron: If we introduce a skeleton, that was it.
• 48:56
  Or a dead body of any kind
• 48:59
  that looks like the guy who may have written in this
• 49:02
  journal. I get the bow and arrow.
• 49:04
  >> Skylar: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Just to clarify for the terms of this
• 49:06
  bet, if he's alive, like, if he's moving and
• 49:09
  attacking, like he's doing a zombie and.
• 49:11
  >> Cameron: Or, I mean, if he is no longer an
• 49:14
  alive person, whether he's dead, dead or
• 49:17
  undead. I feel like that counts.
• 49:19
  >> Skylar: So if you go up there and you just find, like, a body just sitting
• 49:22
  there and there's a sign above it that says, like, don't go
• 49:25
  any further, or something like that. That's, like, scratched into
• 49:28
  it in, like, blood, then that still counts
• 49:31
  even though he's not a threat. Yeah.
• 49:33
  >> Cameron: Okay. A dead person. Like, if we
• 49:36
  encounter a dead body that looks like it could be this
• 49:38
  captain guy.
• 49:41
  I don't think Brock.
• 49:43
  >> Cameron: I don't think they do, captain system out here. I think they do,
• 49:46
  chief.
• 49:46
  >> Cameron: Okay, if we find a chief.
• 49:49
  >> Skylar: I also want to reiterate that this guy in the
• 49:52
  journal probably mentions Chief Tatonka.
• 49:55
  >> Cameron: And again, well, we wouldn't know that.
• 49:57
  >> Skylar: More unless he's probably not crazy and referring to
• 50:00
  himself in the third person.
• 50:01
  >> Cameron: Brock definitely wouldn't know that.
• 50:03
  >> Skylar: Right?
• 50:04
  >> Cameron: We don't know what this book says.
• 50:06
  >> Skylar: Okay, fair enough. I just wanted to make sure that.
• 50:08
  >> Cameron: Like, Mika was talking based off the little information
• 50:11
  we were given by Mika.
• 50:12
  >> Skylar: Fair enough.
• 50:13
  >> Dave: Bill, can you help me put this other coat on?
• 50:16
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 50:16
  >> Cameron: How many coats do you have on?
• 50:18
  >> Dave: This is just a second one.
• 50:19
  >> Cameron: Oh, sure.
• 50:20
  >> Cameron: Yeah, I.
• 50:20
  >> Cameron: Hold it up. 04:00 a.m.
• 50:21
  >> Skylar: Okay.
• 50:22
  >> Cameron: Ah.
• 50:22
  >> Dave: thanks.
• 50:23
  >> Cameron: Now we have two coats each.
• 50:24
  >> Skylar: You look like a beast.
• 50:26
  >> Mikayla: You have one.
• 50:27
  >> Cameron: I thought you gave me a second one.
• 50:28
  >> Mikayla: No, I did, but you keep saying so. I was
• 50:31
  making, why are you correcting me?
• 50:32
  >> Cameron: I'm wearing two coats. Jesus.
• 50:36
  I needed two coats for this trip to the cave. The caves are chilly out
• 50:39
  here. I've never been in one.
• 50:42
  >> Dave: I'll grab one of the spears as well.
• 50:44
  >> Cameron: I have been in a cave. Sorry. In real life, that
• 50:47
  cave was heated by lava. Oh.
• 50:50
  >> Skylar: Guo is taking a spear.
• 50:52
  >> Cameron: I am taking the.
• 50:58
  >> Skylar: Spear. And
• 51:01
  Bill sticking with his bo staff.
• 51:03
  >> Cameron: I have the spear on my back, but I'm holding my bo staff.
• 51:06
  >> Skylar: How many spears were there? Three.
• 51:08
  >> Cameron: Oh.
• 51:08
  >> Skylar: So there you go. I kind of just made it up on the spot and, you
• 51:11
  know, kind of worked out that you guys each got one.
• 51:13
  >> Cameron: So each got a spear, and Mika's got the bow and arrow.
• 51:16
  >> Cameron: Yeah, but if we encounter a dead.
• 51:17
  >> Cameron: Person, I'm just saying
• 51:20
  the only person here, it's just skilled and
• 51:22
  weapons.
• 51:23
  >> Skylar: It's fun time for Skyler to see if I put you in
• 51:26
  an encounter. Do you rely on your bending,
• 51:29
  or do you rely on the weapon in your hand? I just. I'm curious.
• 51:32
  >> Cameron: I'm the one.
• 51:32
  >> Skylar: Well, you're the one person. One exception.
• 51:34
  >> Cameron: Like, give me weapons and I'll use the weapons.
• 51:37
  >> Skylar: Will bill use the bo staff or will use bill? Use
• 51:40
  the spear.
• 51:40
  >> Cameron: That's really bo staff. With pointy end.
• 51:43
  >> Skylar: With pointy end. Yep, exactly. Awesome. Fantastic.
• 51:45
  Okay, so you guys have kind of loaded up on
• 51:48
  weapons, on armor, one
• 51:51
  might say. And, of course, information.
• 51:54
  Where are you guys headed next?
• 51:56
  >> Cameron: Guess we're going to that cave.
• 51:58
  >> Mikayla: Well, I mean, I guess I'll stop by Tatonka's
• 52:01
  cabin before I go into the cave.
• 52:03
  >> Dave: Wait, I thought this was Tatanka's cabin.
• 52:06
  >> Mikayla: No, no, no, no.
• 52:08
  >> Dave: You. I thought this was his journal.
• 52:10
  >> Mikayla: I never said that. I said this guy was writing
• 52:13
  in there, that they were going up to the mountain.
• 52:17
  >> Cameron: Oh, and you think that's where Tatanka is?
• 52:20
  >> Mikayla: A tonka is there because everybody was going to the mountain.
• 52:23
  >> Cameron: Everyone. Oh, that's why this whole place is.
• 52:25
  >> Skylar: But my roguish tendencies are telling me to stop by Tatanka's
• 52:28
  cabin and loot it for everything it's worth.
• 52:34
  >> Dave: Well, let's go find Tatonka's
• 52:36
  captain's log, his cabin log, and then we can
• 52:39
  compare.
• 52:40
  >> Cameron: Weren't we just in his cabin?
• 52:42
  >> Mikayla: we already have.
• 52:43
  >> Cameron: Phil, where have you been?
• 52:45
  >> Mikayla: We literally just had this conversation.
• 52:47
  >> Dave: What was the last follow Mika to the
• 52:50
  cabin?
• 52:51
  >> Cameron: What's the one we started on fire?
• 52:53
  >> Skylar: That was the chief's hut.
• 52:55
  >> Cameron: We started on fire. I would
• 52:58
  like credit for that, but.
• 52:59
  >> Skylar: Like, that's like the big, like, meeting place.
• 53:01
  >> Cameron: Like, oh, it's just like a town center.
• 53:03
  >> Skylar: Yeah, it's like if, the chief had an office.
• 53:05
  >> Cameron: Okay, I burned the town hall.
• 53:08
  >> Cameron: So we're going to Tatanka's hut. Got it. Okay, so this
• 53:11
  place is literally two huts and a town.
• 53:12
  >> Skylar: I mean, it is technically where the chief lives,
• 53:15
  but for those that have listened to the prequel, no,
• 53:18
  Tatonka wasn't the chief
• 53:20
  at the end.
• 53:21
  >> Mikayla: Oh.
• 53:21
  >> Cameron: okay.
• 53:22
  >> Skylar: Okay. So you guys are headed to Tatonka's cabin, which is on the
• 53:25
  outskirts of the village. See kind of a little bit more to the other
• 53:27
  side. Inside, things
• 53:30
  are torn up, much like most of the other places that you've been.
• 53:33
  But the thing that really stands out most of all
• 53:36
  is the semi fresh
• 53:39
  blood that seems to
• 53:42
  streak from inside out the
• 53:44
  door.
• 53:46
  >> Mikayla: Semi fresh.
• 53:47
  >> Cameron: I didn't see this. What?
• 53:49
  >> Skylar: No, it was a ways away. Oh, so you're seeing this
• 53:52
  as you approach? Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah.
• 53:54
  >> Cameron: So the blood leads out the door.
• 53:57
  >> Skylar: Yes.
• 53:58
  >> Cameron: Or in the door?
• 53:59
  >> Skylar: Out the door.
• 54:00
  >> Cameron: Bill sees.
• 54:00
  >> Cameron: How do we know which direction that the blood's
• 54:03
  going?
• 54:03
  >> Mikayla: Uh-huh.
• 54:06
  >> Cameron: Bill sees that goes, oh, well, that's no
• 54:08
  good.
• 54:09
  >> Skylar: Here's what I'll say is, are
• 54:12
  any of you by any chance peeking into the cabin?
• 54:15
  >> Mikayla: Well, yeah. Me, 100%.
• 54:16
  >> Skylar: Okay, so Mika peeks into the cabin and does not see a body there.
• 54:19
  Therefore, whatever left the blood was being pulled out. There
• 54:22
  you go. Micah, what you do see, though,
• 54:25
  is that amidst sort of this blood streak, there
• 54:28
  is a letter
• 54:31
  just plain that.
• 54:31
  >> Mikayla: I'm tired of reading that. I'm just kidding.
• 54:33
  >> Cameron: I'll read it. Let Brock read it.
• 54:35
  >> Mikayla: Yeah, no, I'm going to read it.
• 54:37
  >> Cameron: Okay.
• 54:38
  >> Skylar: Read this one out loud.
• 54:40
  >> Cameron: Unlike all the last ones, you just read to yourself and then pushed
• 54:43
  in your pocket. Been
• 54:46
  watching you.
• 54:48
  >> Mikayla: What does it matter? I'm telling you, I mostly was watching.
• 54:50
  >> Cameron: Because I wanted the bow and arrow.
• 54:56
  I haven't been able to shoot one in a while, and you'll. You guys
• 54:59
  have cool bending powers and I just want to do something.
• 55:02
  >> Mikayla: You have a cool bo staff. Moving on.
• 55:05
  >> Cameron: Read that letter.
• 55:08
  >> Skylar: It is.
• 55:12
  >> Dave: Whoa.
• 55:12
  >> Cameron: What's happening?
• 55:14
  >> Skylar: It is addressed to Micah, and it has
• 55:17
  the, blissful brew wax
• 55:20
  seal on it. So you break the seal, you open it up. You know
• 55:22
  it's obviously from Mister Okaron, right? Inside the letter
• 55:25
  reads.
• 55:26
  >> Cameron: Mika, I did not want to burden you with
• 55:29
  any trials or challenges in your part of this
• 55:32
  journey. You have already been through so much in life
• 55:35
  and still retain the burden of missing your father.
• 55:38
  I only hope that I could have been a good temporary
• 55:41
  replacement for him. Until you find your true
• 55:43
  father. I had hoped that in sending you.
• 55:46
  >> Skylar: To this place, you might be able.
• 55:48
  >> Cameron: To find some answers about what happened.
• 55:50
  >> Skylar: All those years ago, and maybe even.
• 55:52
  >> Cameron: Lead you to locate your father.
• 55:54
  >> Skylar: I have entrusted your final
• 55:57
  piece of the map with Tatonka, which will
• 56:00
  complete.
• 56:00
  >> Cameron: The diagram and show you where I've hidden the will
• 56:03
  to ensure that Madam Yang never gets a hold
• 56:06
  of it.
• 56:07
  >> Skylar: I hope that the blissful brew will.
• 56:09
  >> Cameron: Always be a safe place and sanctuary for
• 56:12
  you whenever you return from your travels and
• 56:15
  find your father, wherever he may be.
• 56:17
  >> Skylar: I know that bill, Brock, and Guo.
• 56:19
  >> Cameron: Will all be waiting there for you with smiles and
• 56:22
  hugs. I only wish I had had the opportunity to
• 56:25
  be there as well. To offer one final embrace
• 56:28
  and to.
• 56:28
  >> Skylar: Meet the man that raised an incredible young woman.
• 56:31
  Be safe on your travels. I truly hope
• 56:34
  that you and your.
• 56:35
  >> Cameron: Father might one day be reunited.
• 56:41
  >> Cameron: Did you read that one out loud?
• 56:44
  >> Mikayla: Sure, bro.
• 56:45
  >> Cameron: Bill, I didn't read. I didn't say that.
• 56:48
  Okay.
• 56:49
  >> Mikayla: Yes, Cameron, I read that out loud.
• 56:50
  >> Cameron: Thank you.
• 56:51
  >> Skylar: All right, so that's what you're left with. The last
• 56:54
  piece of the map is still with Tatonka.
• 56:57
  >> Cameron: So now we really got to go to that cave.
• 57:01
  >> Dave: I guess so.
• 57:03
  >> Skylar: All right, you guys are able to follow the
• 57:06
  blood trail that leads up the mountain. There's kind of
• 57:09
  a path that looks like maybe people had gone up
• 57:12
  here, you know, not necessarily recently,
• 57:15
  obviously, but, like, people made their way up to this
• 57:17
  cave every once in a while for whatever reason. And so they're
• 57:20
  kind of developed a path to some extent. as
• 57:23
  you guys near the cave itself, there's a
• 57:26
  strange sensation of fear that starts to
• 57:29
  envelop you, as if something inside is giving off some sort
• 57:32
  of aura of vileness and
• 57:35
  evil. it is quite dark in
• 57:38
  this case.
• 57:39
  >> Cameron: I still have. Ah, that flint and steel.
• 57:41
  >> Skylar: You do still have the flint and steel.
• 57:43
  >> Cameron: Let's make some torches.
• 57:46
  >> Skylar: do you run back down the path and just grab some
• 57:48
  junk from. Totally.
• 57:50
  >> Cameron: I'm sure there's some trees. I can rip a branch off
• 57:52
  somewhere.
• 57:53
  >> Skylar: He's got a lot of coats on.
• 57:58
  >> Dave: My coat.
• 58:00
  >> Cameron: Don't mind the piece of steel.
• 58:02
  >> Skylar: I would definitely. Yeah, I'd say that there's some good old, like,
• 58:05
  evergreen type trees, you know, the ones that tend
• 58:08
  to grow in, like, colder climates. And there's a few branches
• 58:11
  you can pick up off the ground, or you can just grab a branch of
• 58:14
  that because that stuff burns fast, those pine needles.
• 58:17
  >> Cameron: Whoo.
• 58:17
  >> Skylar: Yeah.
• 58:18
  >> Cameron: So you don't want it to burn fast.
• 58:19
  >> Skylar: That's true. That is true.
• 58:21
  >> Cameron: But what if I.
• 58:22
  >> Skylar: Good igniter.
• 58:22
  >> Cameron: What if I grab one with a bunch of pine
• 58:25
  needles, light on fire, and throw it in ahead of us to see
• 58:28
  if there's, like, a drop off or see if
• 58:31
  there's any, like, big things we should probably
• 58:34
  be on the lookout for.
• 58:36
  >> Skylar: Yeah, absolutely. it looks like it's a flat surface, into
• 58:39
  this cave.
• 58:39
  >> Cameron: Yeah. Okay, so, yeah, you just go.
• 58:41
  >> Skylar: Walking and pick it up.
• 58:43
  >> Cameron: It's like, well, there's no fall to our
• 58:46
  deaths.
• 58:47
  >> Cameron: Did any of those places have, like,
• 58:49
  torches?
• 58:51
  >> Skylar: the one that you guys were in where you found, you know, the nice stuff, the
• 58:54
  weapons? I would say there's no reason not to.
• 58:56
  Yeah. So, yeah, we can say that you
• 58:59
  guys grabbed a couple knowing that you guys had.
• 59:02
  Anyways. Yeah. All right, sounds good. All right. it's
• 59:05
  one of those things, like, I'm not trying to.
• 59:07
  >> Cameron: Okay, we go back and we grab.
• 59:09
  >> Dave: The porch, and we come back.
• 59:10
  >> Cameron: Okay. Okay.
• 59:11
  >> Cameron: One way or another trail that somehow the guy had enough
• 59:14
  blood to make up all the way up the mountain.
• 59:16
  >> Cameron: And slowly, well, you know, he didn't.
• 59:18
  >> Skylar: Say it was a blood trail.
• 59:19
  >> Cameron: He said it was a trail of, like, people heading up there. So, like,
• 59:22
  a path in the snow? I
• 59:25
  don't think this.
• 59:25
  >> Skylar: Well, there was this. There was a trail to some extent.
• 59:27
  >> Cameron: Was there blood?
• 59:28
  >> Skylar: Yeah. I mean.
• 59:29
  >> Cameron: Oh, my. This guy is going away.
• 59:31
  Yeah, he had places to be.
• 59:33
  >> Cameron: Yes. A lot of blood.
• 59:35
  >> Skylar: might be a big guy.
• 59:37
  >> Cameron: Yeah, or a big thing.
• 59:40
  >> Skylar: Oh, maybe he injured something.
• 59:42
  >> Cameron: Maybe it's like a.
• 59:44
  >> Cameron: Maybe. Maybe he rode something.
• 59:46
  >> Skylar: Oh, an injured horse.
• 59:49
  >> Cameron: Or maybe it's a dead guy. And I'm about to get that bow.
• 59:52
  >> Cameron: Maybe he wasn't injured, but a different person was
• 59:54
  injured and they were getting carried by someone
• 59:57
  else.
• 59:58
  >> Skylar: Or maybe there's a million and a
• 1:00:01
  one possibilities of what could have bled
• 1:00:04
  and not bled.
• 1:00:05
  >> Cameron: That's only one way to find out.
• 1:00:06
  >> Skylar: That's right.
• 1:00:07
  >> Cameron: Light those torches.
• 1:00:08
  >> Cameron: All right, cover.
• 1:00:10
  >> Mikayla: Figure it out. Right in there.
• 1:00:13
  >> Skylar: Oh, yeah. You just send him straight in and.
• 1:00:16
  Okay. All right.
• 1:00:17
  >> Dave: Back out with blue eyes.
• 1:00:19
  >> Skylar: Yep, that's right. oh, we messed up.
• 1:00:22
  you guys all light up your torches, and you start to head
• 1:00:25
  in, and you travel down a wide open,
• 1:00:27
  dark tunnel. Eventually, you find an
• 1:00:30
  outcropping with a little bit of a drop in the rocks
• 1:00:33
  where a variety of wild animals seem to be
• 1:00:36
  roaming around. Animals that you wouldn't normally find in
• 1:00:38
  caves, although there are some that you would. as you
• 1:00:41
  guys watch, you hear a flap of leathery
• 1:00:44
  wings as something massive, difficult to see
• 1:00:47
  in the distance of this darkness, flutters
• 1:00:50
  down. And you hear a winter hare
• 1:00:53
  let out a soft scream as it gets snatched up.
• 1:00:56
  As you watch as it kind of. The light glinting off of its
• 1:00:59
  white fur just lifts into the air.
• 1:01:01
  >> Mikayla: Saddest sound ever.
• 1:01:03
  >> Skylar: Oh, it's true. Yeah, I've heard rabbits scream before. It's
• 1:01:05
  terrible looking, up. As you guys
• 1:01:08
  kind of point your torches towards the ceiling of this cave,
• 1:01:11
  you see a massive, horrendous, bat like
• 1:01:14
  creature that holds the poor
• 1:01:17
  rabbit in its claws and proceeds to
• 1:01:20
  latch a pair of pointed teeth into it.
• 1:01:23
  But instead of blood, you watch
• 1:01:26
  as a glowing aura seems to drift from
• 1:01:29
  the hair as its life force is drained.
• 1:01:32
  Guo, you might recognize seeing
• 1:01:35
  this as similar to at the carnival
• 1:01:38
  when Chang Sanani got a hold of that staff. And he
• 1:01:40
  was. Instead of absorbing
• 1:01:43
  souls, he was sort of sending souls or spirit energy
• 1:01:46
  out. But, whatever the case,
• 1:01:49
  eventually, after the. The
• 1:01:52
  bat like creature finishes absorbing this life
• 1:01:55
  force, he releases the
• 1:01:57
  rabbit, which falls to the ground and turns, and it
• 1:02:00
  now has those glowing red blue
• 1:02:03
  eyes.
• 1:02:04
  >> Dave: Guys, this isn't good.
• 1:02:07
  This is some spirit staff
• 1:02:10
  stuff.
• 1:02:11
  >> Cameron: Spirit staff stuff? Oh, no.
• 1:02:13
  >> Cameron: Spirit staff stuff.
• 1:02:15
  >> Dave: You remember like I told you that story? It's
• 1:02:18
  like that's its soul
• 1:02:21
  or it's life force or something.
• 1:02:23
  >> Cameron: Oh, geez, that's not good. Is that thing, looking
• 1:02:26
  at us?
• 1:02:27
  >> Skylar: Is it looking, it's not looking at you, but it
• 1:02:30
  does, like, hop around in this sort of, like,
• 1:02:32
  area. This almost like columns. Sort of a small
• 1:02:35
  coliseum area. and it does have those
• 1:02:38
  glowing blue eyes, just like you saw on the wolf.
• 1:02:43
  And additionally,
• 1:02:46
  and I hate to announce this, but at the
• 1:02:49
  other end of this sort of enclosure, you can
• 1:02:52
  see Mister okorot. The. No.
• 1:02:55
  What is the limp body
• 1:02:58
  of, ex chief Tatonka.
• 1:03:01
  >> Cameron: I get the bow and arrow only.
• 1:03:03
  >> Mikayla: X because he's dead,
• 1:03:05
  we can.
• 1:03:06
  >> Skylar: No, he was x before. He was x
• 1:03:09
  before, but now he's x alive.
• 1:03:11
  >> Cameron: X check to x cheap.
• 1:03:14
  >> Skylar: Okay. And with that, we're gonna close
• 1:03:17
  out episode ten.
• 1:03:32
  Hey, everyone. Skylar, the game master for benders and
• 1:03:35
  brews and the creative director over at session Zero Heroes
• 1:03:38
  here. I just wanted to give you a quick outro before you head over to the
• 1:03:41
  next episode or call it a day. Firstly,
• 1:03:44
  thank you so much for listening to our show. It means
• 1:03:47
  so much to us to have such amazing people like
• 1:03:50
  yourself that enjoy the content that we produce.
• 1:03:52
  Without you, there really wouldn't be much point in all the work
• 1:03:55
  that we put into recording, editing, and sharing our
• 1:03:58
  TTRPG sessions with all of you. With that being said,
• 1:04:01
  we would love it if you would throw some love our way
• 1:04:04
  and drop us a review or a rating or whatever it
• 1:04:07
  is called, wherever you're listening to the show, based on whatever
• 1:04:10
  platform that allows you to leave reviews and leave
• 1:04:13
  recommendations. It means a lot to us to get to hear why
• 1:04:16
  you love the show we make. And it also helps the show reach
• 1:04:19
  other listeners as well, allowing us to grow our community.
• 1:04:22
  So if you're feeling especially generous, you
• 1:04:25
  could even go as far as to share our show to your friends and family
• 1:04:28
  who also enjoy TTRBG actual play
• 1:04:30
  podcasts. It's really expensive for us to be able to
• 1:04:33
  advertise, and we don't do much of it, so it's a, lot
• 1:04:36
  more help to have you guys share it with people that you know
• 1:04:39
  will enjoy it, and then they can join in the community that we're
• 1:04:42
  creating that would make you a session zero hero
• 1:04:45
  yourself. And additionally, we'd love to have you
• 1:04:48
  stop by on one of our various social platforms and interact with the
• 1:04:51
  channel. There you can find session zero heroes on Facebook,
• 1:04:54
  X, Instagram, and Discord. We post all sorts
• 1:04:57
  of updates, clips, and even the occasional behind the scenes
• 1:05:00
  look at what we're up to. And if you're ever looking for information
• 1:05:02
  on SZH or you don't use a podcast
• 1:05:05
  streaming site but you want to listen to our shows, you can do so

• 1:05:14
