- 0:32deity of gambling. Long story
- 0:35short, this group of idiots, or as

- 0:44but left some.
- 0:45>> Skylar: Of the key details blank.
- 0:47>> Skylar: So I filled them in myself. I sent

- 4:22>> Skylar: We're rolling.
- 4:23>> Skylar: Next to Fatty, we've got Cameron, who's
- 4:26playing. I see. I want to
- 4:29say Fizzle Fingers. Becausez, man, that's catchy.
- 4:32And I'm not saying Roric isn't, but
- 4:34Roric. But now his. His in
- 4:37the new body of a strange goblin named Fizzle
- 4:40Fingers. I'm doing too much intro for you. Go for it.
- 4:43>> Cameron: No, you were doing great.
- 4:44>> Skylar: Well, I know I was doing great, but I didn't want to take your thunder.
- 4:47>> Cameron: That was that good pun. Unintended.
- 4:50U. yeah. He was, a dwarf
- 4:54barbarian. Loved Frost.
- 4:57Now he's a goblin
- 5:00rogue who loves, stealing
- 5:04and dealing and zappin people.
- 5:06>> Skylar: Does Roick have any, reservations about the fact that he's a
- 5:09goblin now? Like, does that bother him?
- 5:11>> Cameron: Well, I mean, you got.
- 5:14No, Rog actually loved goblins because he was a.
- 5:17>> Skylar: He was a pirate.
- 5:19>> Cameron: in his former body, he was a pirate, and that still
- 5:22kind of sheds through in his current Persona.
- 5:25But, Ball being a pirate he would always have goblins on his ship,
- 5:28and he always found them to be really hilarious. And he actually
- 5:31learned goblin o Pirate.
- 5:33>> Skylar: Right on.
- 5:33>> Cameron: So he actually fits really well into this because he
- 5:36just naturally knew Gobblelin.
- 5:37>> Skylar: Yeah. All right, fair enough. He fits the partir well.
- 5:40Awesome.
- 5:47Where last we left off, you guys had
- 5:49all just left, like, an art
- 5:52studio, and you trashed the place. And while you guys were
- 5:55doing that, feather McGregor, ak little sauce
- 5:58went out to go. Well, first he quit his job
- 6:01with the sort of secret police department
- 6:04known as blank space, and then went to
- 6:06go visit his old dead
- 6:09friend's father, Gideon
- 6:11mcgriddle, who owns a little tinker shop out in
- 6:14tinker's corner in the Atlantic Heights district.
- 6:17While he was there, he learned a disturbing
- 6:20fact that Gideon had
- 6:23resurrected, allegedly, his son, in
- 6:26the body of a puppet that he had designed.
- 6:29And unfortunately, he lost control of it, and it
- 6:32has been kidnapping the children of the
- 6:35community surrounding Tinker square.
- 6:37Distraught by this, you've returned to meet up with the rest of
- 6:40your comrades in a tavern, hoping that
- 6:43they will help help you in your search to
- 6:46find and hopefully stop this,
- 6:49strange undead being that is
- 6:51your dead best friend.
- 6:54You guys were finishing up in the tavern and where we left
- 6:57off, you guys were just about to get the
- 7:00bill to pay for your
- 7:03food. And with that, we will kick things off with episode
- 7:0511 of Criminals of
- 7:08Isaumis.
- 7:15Al right, guys, you guys are about to, As you guys are sitting
- 7:18there, the drow Alton
- 7:20Drow. Alton drow was approaching you in his
- 7:23nice suit, and in his hand, he holds a
- 7:26bill. you guys had told him that it was all gonna be on one
- 7:28ticket, so it is, in fact, the entire meal on one ticket.
- 7:31He approaches, he sets the bill or the ticket down.
- 7:35He says, well, here's the ticket for
- 7:37your meal today. Feel free to take as much time as
- 7:40you need. Although we do have some guests that
- 7:43would like to come in, so don't take too
- 7:46long. And he walks away to go
- 7:49help another table. You look at the bill, and you
- 7:52see a total of
- 7:54128 gold pieces
- 7:57or all the drinks and food that everybody has
- 8:00ordered and eaten.
- 8:01>> Cameron: Des, with his hands. With his
- 8:04right hand on top of his left, makes the little
- 8:07running man motion and points at the door.
- 8:10>> Fatty Lumpkins: I'm trying to recall what I ate at this
- 8:12establishment, and I don't think I ate much, so I,
- 8:15too, am okay with that.
- 8:16>> Skylar: I think you had a burger, but.
- 8:18>> Fatty Lumpkins: I can't be up do that.
- 8:19>> Skylar: I think So I order the most
- 8:22burger.
- 8:22>> Cameron: I ordered the most expensive thing on the menu
- 8:25because'for it, the plan is to make me pay for
- 8:27it. No, Keito said he was gonna pay for it.
- 8:30>> Skylar: And then I know somebody ever acknowledged that somebody also got
- 8:33a thing of fairy fries for the whole table.
- 8:35Yeah, along with fairy fry sauce.
- 8:38>> Cameron: Where's your thatangeah?
- 8:40>> Dave: Ma Maki
- 8:43waves his hand over the table,
- 8:47says, just. It just has to look like we
- 8:50paid. And creates a minor illusion of a p.
- 8:53Pile of gold coins.
- 8:54>> Cameron: O. Wow.
- 8:56>> Skylar: Nice. All right. You got a whole pile
- 8:59of gold coins on the table now, as far.
- 9:02>> Fatty Lumpkins: As anyone can tell, I'm content to
- 9:04walk.
- 9:05>> Skylar: And you get you. I mean, I'm assuming you just walk out of there.
- 9:08Yeah, I mean, I don't think anybody's suspecting
- 9:11you of anything at the current moment, you do
- 9:14see Alton Drow. He walks up to the table. He looks pretty happy.
- 9:16You guys are about at the door. As he reaches
- 9:19down to touch or pick up some of the gold. Maybe he's
- 9:22got, like, a pouch or something that he scoops it into on his apron,
- 9:25and his hand goes right through it. And at that
- 9:27moment, he freezes for a moment, and then
- 9:30he stiffens up and he starts to turn towards the
- 9:33door. But you guys are already stepping outside into the
- 9:36fresh air of freedom, and you hear a shout from behind
- 9:39you. Hey, wait
- 9:42a minute. They didn't pay there.
- 9:45But you don't hear the word bill as the door closes behind
- 9:48you.
- 9:49>> Fatty Lumpkins: I'm gonna turn to a little sauce over there and say, hey, do
- 9:52you know some, back alleys that we could maybe make
- 9:54ourselves scarce?
- 9:57>> Quinn: What counter? we in?
- 10:00>> Skylar: You guys are in. I believe you guys are in the medium. Back in the
- 10:02medium district.
- 10:03>> Dave: Whatever happens, guys, just act
- 10:06cool.
- 10:07>> Quinn: I mean, yeah, I know some back alleys we can. We can take
- 10:10the one. There'd be a few back alleies I know about.
- 10:14So, I mean,
- 10:18say there's one behind the restaurant. Listen, let's cut behind the restaurant. We can cut
- 10:22over across the behind over by the
- 10:24river, and then we can get over to the centervville district, which we need to get to
- 10:27anyways.
- 10:28>> Cameron: Jaz gives two thumbs up and starts walking in the wrong
- 10:31direction.
- 10:32>> Skylar: Sorry. What was the building you were looking for?
- 10:34>> Quinn: Okay, sorry. No, just because we've got to get.
- 10:36>> Skylar: Over to Gideon's Gizmos and the gorge.
- 10:39>> Quinn: We have to go from a Mediumville, which would
- 10:42cross the river, the
- 10:45central Stark, cross the river
- 10:47into,
- 10:50Gorson.
- 10:53>> Skylar: Yeah, you could take the river down.
- 10:54>> Quinn: The river or the ferry?
- 10:56>> Skylar: Yeah, yeah, well, yeah, the ferry is in the river,
- 11:00right?
- 11:00>> Quinn: The ferry leaves from what, the great Atlantis.
- 11:03Yeah, yeah, we can get to. So if we take this back roadw behind the
- 11:06restaurant, we can cut over and get to the ferry.
- 11:09The last ferry should be, should still be there for the night. We can
- 11:11cut over is Central from Central into
- 11:14the Gorthon district.
- 11:16>> Dave: All right, but too many back roads and I'm go goingna start
- 11:19singing country.
- 11:22>> Skylar: Algh. You guys go, sprinting around the
- 11:25restaurant. As you do, you can hear the door fly open behind
- 11:28you, and you hear shouts of where do you think they went?
- 11:31I don't know, maybe that way. but at this point you've already,
- 11:34Their shouts fade into the distance as you guys kind
- 11:37of make your way through a series of back alleys,
- 11:40until you reach the central Stark
- 11:43district. Now, the central Stark district, it's a much
- 11:46nicer area. You look at the buildings
- 11:49and the rooftops and everything and it is just, it
- 11:51is beautiful. Compared to the medium Bill, it
- 11:54is a stark cut off, between the
- 11:57two some central stark cut off, you
- 12:00might say. I can read you guys the description if you
- 12:03want, please, I love descriptions.
- 12:06Nestled between the vibrant Atlantic Heights and
- 12:09the humble Mediumville districts, the central
- 12:12Stark district stands as a beacon of grandeur
- 12:15and innovation. The bustling district is a
- 12:17testament of the citys progress and the heart of its
- 12:20culture and technological achievements. It is a place
- 12:23where modern marvels and ancient traditions
- 12:26intertwine, creating a unique tapestry of
- 12:28possibilities. At the heart of the central Stark district
- 12:31lies the renowned Temple of Light, a magific,
- 12:34that magnificent structure that pieces or sorry,
- 12:37pierces the sky with its towering spires. This
- 12:40awe inspiring temple serves as a spiritual sanctuary,
- 12:43drawing worshippipers from all walks of life who seek
- 12:46soulace, guidance and enlightenment. Within
- 12:49its hollowed halls, ancient rituals
- 12:52and sacred ceremonies are performed carrying on the
- 12:55legacy of the deity revered by the city's
- 12:57inhabitants. Or at least this district. No,
- 13:00they're across the city. Adjacent to the Temple of
- 13:03Lights is the prestigious Colosseum, an ancient marvel
- 13:06that hosts exhilarating combat tournaments
- 13:09and gladiatorial fights. Its grand arena
- 13:12echoes with the cheers of spectators as skilled
- 13:15fighters engage in spectacular displays of strength, skill
- 13:18and valor. These are, I assume, things that you
- 13:21run past. You notice maybe in the distance or whatever. Maybe Feather
- 13:24McGregor gives you a little bit of a rundown of it. whatever the case here,
- 13:27clash, the weapons and the thunderous applause of the
- 13:29crowds merge into a symphony of Excitement
- 13:32and entertainment. Beyond the grandeur of the temple and
- 13:35Colossum, the Central Star district is a bustling hub of
- 13:37commerce, innovation and cultural expression. Its
- 13:40streets are lined with opulent skyscrapers that
- 13:43house cutting edge technological enterprises,
- 13:46mouth bustling marketplaces adorned with colorful
- 13:49awnings and a vibrant array of shops that offer everything from
- 13:52fashion arts to the latest gadgets and
- 13:55gizmos. As far as a hyphene mess he you
- 13:58can offer. That's a basic gist of the central Start
- 14:01district. it's very like culturally centered.
- 14:03it's very much like we have a lot of
- 14:07maybe medium to medium high, or
- 14:10medium upper class there. Gok.
- 14:12That's kind of the type of people that live here. So as you guys are kind of making
- 14:15yourself way through the back alleys and so on and so
- 14:18forth, you kind of spot a few people kind of going about
- 14:21their later night business, whatever that might be. they're
- 14:24all dressed fairly well, people are in,
- 14:27maybe business casual to
- 14:29business attire. even at this point in the
- 14:32night, business never really ceases in the central
- 14:35Stark district, at least. More legal
- 14:38business. Mediumville. Plenty of business happens, but it's probably a
- 14:41bit more questionable. So anyway, you guys make
- 14:43yourselves or make your way through the back alleys of the Central
- 14:46Star District for a little while until you reach the
- 14:49edge of the river that pierces through the
- 14:52center of the entire massive sprawling city
- 14:55and runs all the way through. And there you can see a
- 14:58small dock with a ferry boat. And it
- 15:00looks like maybe one or two, maybe three people are getting on it.
- 15:03It actually has some lanterns that hang off of it. It looks kind of
- 15:06nice. They're all lit up. it all reflects against the water
- 15:09in a really cool way. And you hear the man
- 15:12who is, dressed in a sort of
- 15:15wide brimmed hat, and he has a long stick
- 15:18in his hand. Shout out last s call for
- 15:21the fairry.
- 15:22>> Skylar: Let'call for the final no ferry
- 15:25down to the Gorthham district.
- 15:28>> Quinn: Guys, we need to hit that. Yeah.
- 15:30>> Cameron: Ah, that Des'run to him, waving his hand, a big
- 15:33smile on his face.
- 15:35>> Skylar: Oh, looks like we got a few stragglers.
- 15:37>> Skylar: Yes.
- 15:37>> Skylar: Come on, come on.
- 15:38>> Skylar: It's a gold piece. Please, please.
- 15:40>> Skylar: Unless you have a ah, pass.
- 15:42>> Cameron: Now, you did mention when we first
- 15:45got here that the city is a little
- 15:48racist.
- 15:49>> Skylar: Oh yes, that is very true.
- 15:51>> Cameron: Do we kind of stick out like a sore thumb in this
- 15:54fancy district?
- 15:55>> Skylar: Absolutely.
- 15:55>> Cameron: Cool. Is he gonna let us on
- 15:58his.
- 15:59>> Skylar: Boat at the Moment. He doesn't seem to mind as
- 16:01long as you present the goal.
- 16:03>> Cameron: Okay.
- 16:04>> Skylar: It's one goal piece to take a full trip
- 16:07all the way. A one way. It's a one way trip. One
- 16:10way trip. If you're not familiar with how the ferry works,
- 16:13you guys don't look like you're from around here, so I'm assuming
- 16:16you don't.
- 16:16>> Cameron: How is this man dressed?
- 16:18>> Skylar: he's just kind of average. actually probably
- 16:20fairly casual. he's got kind of like. He looks like
- 16:23Monkey D. Luffy. He's got just kind of like a vest on. He's got the
- 16:26big hat and then he's got like some janky looking
- 16:29shorts.
- 16:30>> Cameron: Okay. Okay. Ah, Des walks up to him
- 16:33and puts a gold coin where a shirt pocket
- 16:36should be. but if he's dressed like monkey,
- 16:39Dlubia just falls and he kisses him on the cheek and gets on the
- 16:42boat.
- 16:42>> Skylar: He goes to catch it. And as he leans down to catch it, you
- 16:45kiss him on the cheek.
- 16:46>> Skylar: And you a tip.
- 16:49>> Skylar: Ah.
- 16:52>> Skylar: Anyone else?
- 16:53>> Skylar: Let call.
- 16:54>> Skylar: Let's call for the fairry.
- 16:55>> Quinn: I'll give him a, Give him a goal. Hop on.
- 16:57>> Skylar: Thank you, sir.
- 16:58>> Skylar: Anyone else?
- 16:59>> Skylar: You lot.
- 17:00>> Dave: Yeah, I'm coming to. And be careful, dad.
- 17:03Remember, you don't have lips anymore.
- 17:06>> Skylar: It's just
- 17:08a literal peck on the cheek.
- 17:13Nice.
- 17:14>> Fatty Lumpkins: Ye cut little follow suit and drop a gold into his
- 17:17hands.
- 17:17>> Skylar: Perfect. And you, goblin,
- 17:20are you joining? And you can actually. I'm glad you pointed that
- 17:23out because you can actually see the like 3ish people,
- 17:26that were already on the boat. They all like get up and they all kind of
- 17:29move to the back. So they're all kind of sitting within each other.
- 17:32Sitting. it's two humans. It looks like maybe they're a
- 17:35couple or something. Man and a woman. and you see a
- 17:38dragonborn. And they all just kind of scooch
- 17:41towards the back.
- 17:42>> Cameron: Roick walks up to him and he's got his pouch. And he starts
- 17:45digging through it.
- 17:46>> Skylar: And he goes, ah, how much? Oh, just one.
- 17:48One gold piece.
- 17:51unless you have a ah, pass. Oh yeah.
- 17:54>> Cameron: Ro cannot.
- 17:54>> Skylar: A monthly pass.
- 17:55>> Cameron: He produces one gold
- 17:58piece.
- 17:59>> Skylar: Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. And he pockets
- 18:02it into it. He's got a little pouch. He says, come on abo
- 18:05board.
- 18:06>> Cameron: Yeah. And then he, waddles on in
- 18:09and he takes a seat next to his friends.
- 18:12And now I pose a question to Skylar.
- 18:14>> Skylar: Okay.
- 18:15>> Cameron: Because I was thinking about it.
- 18:16>> Skylar: Give me a second. Okay. This is Skyar.
- 18:19>> Cameron: Thank you. so Roke could not
- 18:22counter read.
- 18:23>> Skylar: Okay, this is true.
- 18:24>> Cameron: But his new character. But his intelligence was
- 18:278. His new character now is an intelligence of
- 18:3015.
- 18:31>> Skylar: Yes, that's a good point.
- 18:33>> Cameron: That's a big job.
- 18:34>> Skylar: I think at this time, I mean, all the way up until now, he
- 18:37assumed he couldn't read, so he just kind of ignored
- 18:40books. But I feel like words
- 18:43kind of start to make sense now.
- 18:46And as you like, he said one,
- 18:49and you reach in your pouch and you pulled one out almost
- 18:52instinctively. And it was what he asked
- 18:54for, which is different for you as far. You wouldn't
- 18:57have known, I guess. I mean, you kind of always just assumed you were doing things.
- 19:00Right. But people always questioned you or second guessed you
- 19:03when you did things.
- 19:04>> Cameron: No, Ro Canoe. He couldn't count.
- 19:05>> Skylar: Yeah. Yeah. Oh, okay. He was self aware.
- 19:07>> Cameron: No, he was very self aware.
- 19:09>> Skylar: And he was just kind of hoping.
- 19:10>> Cameron: Well, the thing is, people would never question him because he was a
- 19:13barbarian. They would just kind of take it and not
- 19:15complain.
- 19:16>> Skylar: Yeah. Oh, yeah.
- 19:17>> Cameron: Because you don't want to make it barbarian mad, right?
- 19:20>> Skylar: Yeah. There's definitely a sense of unexpected,
- 19:23understanding that's kind of happening every once in a while whenever you
- 19:26do accidentally glance at a word or
- 19:29have to count something.
- 19:31>> Cameron: Now, do you think that this will transfer when we get out of this
- 19:34world, or will you just be like, very
- 19:36frustratedly?
- 19:38>> Skylar: It's kind of like I imag.
- 19:40>> Cameron: I ditch all the. I ditch all the picture books I
- 19:43got. Yeah. Only to find out that I can't
- 19:45read. Need them back again.
- 19:48>> Skylar: I imagine it's kind of like, some sort of like, Harry Potter
- 19:51thing where, like, the words kind of start to just form
- 19:54together and it's like, oh, wait a minute. But
- 19:57I'm also a golin, right?
- 20:00>> Fatty Lumpkins: A goblin.
- 20:00>> Skylar: Speakon.
- 20:01>> Fatty Lumpkins: Are you saying goblins are dumb?
- 20:02>> Cameron: I'm a rogue. I figured I wouldn't have picked
- 20:05up reading.
- 20:08>> Skylar: Fizzle Fingers is obviously very clever.
- 20:10>> Cameron: Yeah, I'm very smart goblin. Anyways, we can continue.
- 20:13>> Skylar: Okay. All right, Sounds good. So you guys hop onto the boat.
- 20:15like I said, every once in a while you glance behind you and the
- 20:18non. What was the word you used the other day?
- 20:21Minion races.
- 20:23>> Cameron: Yeah, we're like the minion.
- 20:24>> Skylar: The min Henchmen races. Yeah, the non. Minion
- 20:27races are kind of glancing. Some
- 20:30dagger looks at you all whenever you look back towards
- 20:33them. they're not super stoked you're here. But
- 20:35the guy that runs the boat doesn't seem to care. He hops
- 20:38ono the side and begins to push down with
- 20:41this giant stick as he pulls you guys into the
- 20:44water, which kind of carries you along in a nice, gentle
- 20:47pace. And he pulls a little bit just to give it a little bit of extra
- 20:50speed, but nothing that would make anybody uncomfortable or anything like
- 20:53that. It's not a rushed, little boat. It
- 20:56is kind of a bit more of a, ah, casual
- 20:59transportation. And
- 21:01eventually, maybe probably like 15
- 21:04minutes later, he goes o.
- 21:06And he slows it down as he starts to pull
- 21:10against the stream. The boat kind of moves almost
- 21:12strangely over to the side horizontally as
- 21:15it pulls into the dock. And you look around, and now you are
- 21:18in the Worthham district.
- 21:22>> Dave: As we get off the boat.
- 21:25you said there was a couple on the boat?
- 21:27>> Skylar: Yes.
- 21:28>> Dave: Like a romantic couple?
- 21:30>> Skylar: Yeah, yeah.
- 21:32>> Dave: Possibly platonic.
- 21:35>> Skylar: They look very cozy.
- 21:37>> Dave: Who is a man and a woman?
- 21:38>> Skylar: Yes. Human. Ye. yes.
- 21:40>> Cameron: Are you getting progressive with that.
- 21:44>> Dave: Or is the dragon man in a mermaid?
- 21:46>> Skylar: I think the dragonborn sits so awkwardly
- 21:49far from him that you feel pretty confident that he is, in a
- 21:52way, involved in their romantic
- 21:55relationship.
- 21:56>> Cameron: Darn.
- 21:57>> Skylar: Yeah. He's really missing out.
- 21:59>> Cameron: it could have been so much.
- 22:01>> Dave: Maki wants to try to figure out
- 22:04where they. They're keeping, I don't know, their wallet
- 22:06or something.
- 22:07>> Skylar: Okay. All right. Do you probably, either
- 22:10an investigation check.
- 22:15Holy cow.
- 22:16>> Cameron: All wallets are bulginges.
- 22:19>> Skylar: Yes. You see, very promptly, the
- 22:22woman carries a purse that's slung across her
- 22:24shoulder. The young man that is with
- 22:27her, he, has, what looks like a
- 22:29wallet that protrudes from his back pocket.
- 22:32And as you guys kind of pull into the docks and he stands up, you can
- 22:35see.
- 22:36>> Skylar: Whoa.
- 22:36>> Skylar: One butt cheek looks very strangely shaped compared to the other
- 22:39butt cheek. There's probably a wallet in there. the
- 22:42dragonborn, on the other hand, has a very nice
- 22:44little sash, attached to his belt. It is a
- 22:47velvet sash, and you can hear the occasional clink
- 22:50of coins as he steps forward
- 22:53over the seats of the boat.
- 22:56>> Cameron: Des runs. We
- 22:59stopped, Right?
- 23:00>> Skylar: Yes. Yep. Into the doc. Yep.
- 23:01>> Cameron: Hold. Into the dock. Does, runs to the edge
- 23:04of the dock. And he throws down, like
- 23:07a sack or something in front of him. Like he's gonna
- 23:10panhandle. Right.
- 23:11>> Skylar: Okay.
- 23:12>> Cameron: And as a distraction.
- 23:15>> Skylar: Okay.
- 23:15>> Cameron: He recites a story that is just, like, in his
- 23:18brain.
- 23:19>> Skylar: He's just coming up with it.
- 23:20>> Cameron: Coming up with it somehow. These words
- 23:23are coming out of him. He's not quite sure where he heard it.
- 23:26but it goes in the mamalade forest,
- 23:29past the make believe trees in a
- 23:32cottage Cheese Cottage lived Albby.
- 23:34Yes. Albby Albi, the
- 23:37racist Dragonborn. And he.
- 23:40Daggers. Daggers at the Dragonborn getting off the
- 23:42boat. and so this is an opportunity for them to be
- 23:45distracted.
- 23:46>> Skylar: Yes.
- 23:46>> Cameron: so that things can be stolen.
- 23:49>> Skylar: I like that. Oh, yeah, that
- 23:51Dragonborn. He glares back at you and he kind of
- 23:54walks over and he says.
- 23:57>> Skylar: What'S that supposed to mean?
- 23:59>> Cameron: Des backs up and does the fisticuffs. but
- 24:02continues the story y while it.
- 24:05>> Cameron: I do want to point out that was the first time Des spoke without
- 24:08his soundboard.
- 24:08>> Skylar: That's true.
- 24:09>> Cameron: Yeah.
- 24:11>> Skylar: He could have used it, but we would have gotten slapped with
- 24:13a nasty copyright from theg.
- 24:16>> Cameron: I have the whole story.
- 24:17>> Cameron: Memory.
- 24:19>> Skylar: Yeah. Over at ah, the Flight of the Concorde.
- 24:23>> Dave: Maky steps in between you guys.
- 24:26Welly, yeah. I'm sure he didn't mean anything by it,
- 24:29sir.
- 24:29>> Skylar: And o is accusing
- 24:32me of.
- 24:33>> Dave: And as he's, like, putting his hand against
- 24:36the dragon porn chest, he
- 24:39drops it, pat on the shoulder with his
- 24:42other hand.
- 24:43>> Cameron: It's.
- 24:44>> Dave: I'm sure this is just a, ah, misunderstanding.
- 24:47A cultural difference.
- 24:49>> Skylar: Get two filthy reg off of
- 24:52me.
- 24:52>> Skylar: Bir Bo. And he
- 24:55swats at you with his.
- 24:56>> Cameron: Arm and trying to pry dragon tears, which, as we all know,
- 24:59turn into jelly beans.
- 25:00>> Skylar: My tears. I'm not crying.
- 25:03And they do not turn into jelly
- 25:06beans.
- 25:07>> Skylar: I don't know. He's hold Hogan now.
- 25:09>> Dave: As Makia was patting him with his other hand.
- 25:12As his left hand drops down
- 25:15and tries to take
- 25:17the sash off of his belt.
- 25:19>> Skylar: All right, the coin sa. You, you are
- 25:22being helped at the moment, so you can take advantage
- 25:25on that.
- 25:26>> Skylar: Wowzers.
- 25:28>> Skylar: Sne reach for that.
- 25:31Yes.
- 25:32>> Dave: That's a 21W.
- 25:34>> Cameron: That wasn't even with the advantage.
- 25:36>> Cameron: Oh, yeah, not even with.
- 25:37>> Quinn: Hang on.
- 25:38>> Cameron: Like it get better.
- 25:39>> Cameron: Totally could only roll one number better.
- 25:43>> Skylar: as he sort of flings you away, he swats at you
- 25:46with his arm, kind of knocks you back a little bit. You use your
- 25:48back, claw to kind of latch onto that
- 25:51little sash that's laying there and all. He
- 25:54considers you as is knocked away, but he doesn't realize that
- 25:57you've swiped his little sack of
- 26:00coins right out from off his belt.
- 26:03And then he turns back to Des.
- 26:05>> Skylar: And he says, oh, you got more to say about
- 26:08my proud race?
- 26:11I think you're the racist one.
- 26:14>> Cameron: Des picks up his sack, jumps in the air, clicks his heels
- 26:17and runs away.
- 26:19>> Skylar: That's the right. And I don't wantna see you in.
- 26:22>> Dave: My districts again, O. I'm getting out
- 26:25of here. And maki pushes up against the couple
- 26:28that's exiting the boat.
- 26:31>> Skylar: Oh, geeez. Oh, gosh.
- 26:34>> Dave: licking his beacon anticipation of
- 26:37thisging, dear. This bulging wallet.
- 26:40>> Skylar: He's coming to us, Matthew. Oh, dear,
- 26:43what now?
- 26:44>> Dave: I'm not traveling.
- 26:47>> Skylar: I know. Coming towards them. They're obviously
- 26:50racist, too, so.
- 26:52>> Cameron: Obviously.
- 26:53>> Skylar: Oh, he probably has fleas. Help, Matthew. And he's
- 26:55like, oh. And he looks just as concerned. He's like, o
- 26:58I don't want to.
- 26:59>> Dave: Get fle on me
- 27:02out. He's gonna kill me's. Get out of the
- 27:04way.
- 27:05>> Skylar: No, please.
- 27:08>> Skylar: you're trying to. Are you trying to steal for one of them? Are
- 27:11both of us?
- 27:11>> Dave: Y the guy?
- 27:13>> Skylar: Okay, all right. So this is just gonna be straight, sleight
- 27:16of hand on this guy.
- 27:23>> Cameron: What'd you rol?
- 27:24>> Dave: 11.
- 27:25>> Skylar: Oh, gosh.
- 27:27>> Skylar: he. He sees that you're reaching towards him. He doesn't
- 27:30know necessarily that you're reaching for his wallet, but it's just the
- 27:32bo he's bothered by the fact that you're going to touch him at all.
- 27:35>> Skylar: And he goes, no, no, stop, please. Oh,
- 27:38gosh, please.
- 27:39>> Skylar: And, he swats at you, and he kind of bumps
- 27:42you a little bit, and you're pretty close to the edge of the dock, and you start
- 27:44to lean ever so slightly towards the water.
- 27:48You want to do a see Dexterity
- 27:51save.
- 27:53>> Dave: Okay, I'm gonna try to do a dexterity save to
- 27:56jump to the shore.
- 27:57>> Cameron: W. Wow, impressive.
- 28:00>> Cameron: Just skip the whole dock.
- 28:01>> Skylar: Yeah.
- 28:02>> Cameron: Who needs it?
- 28:03>> Dave: Well, you know, or to the dock, whatever.
- 28:05>> Skylar: More. Well, you're hanging off the dock so.
- 28:07>> Skylar: You could jump it off the boat.
- 28:09>> Skylar: Just off the edge of the shore.
- 28:14>> Dave: Dek saving 16.
- 28:16>> Skylar: 16. Okay. You ge nly only getting,
- 28:19like, the backs of your heels wet in the water as
- 28:22you leap towards the edge of the shore and land
- 28:24with a slight splash. Just a slight
- 28:27splash. Hurry, marry. We must get
- 28:30away. These filthy creatures are
- 28:33going to get.
- 28:33>> Skylar: Fleas all over us.
- 28:34>> Skylar: we'll never be able to clean them out. And they rush off
- 28:37into the city.
- 28:38>> Dave: Hey, these talons are good for something, I guess,
- 28:41because they me to grip.
- 28:43>> Cameron: Roick'snna lean over to keto.
- 28:45>> Skylar: Sorry, lo so, yeah.
- 28:47>> Cameron: And he goes. I never knew maiad fleas.
- 28:51Can I make a perception roll to see if I've
- 28:54watched maki pick these people's pockets?
- 28:57>> Skylar: If you want to. Sure.
- 29:02>> Cameron: 12.
- 29:03>> Skylar: 12. probably not. I don't think you would have seen
- 29:06it both times.
- 29:09>> Cameron: onlyful the one that's true.
- 29:11>> Cameron: made two attempts.
- 29:12>> Skylar: I think on the second try, you think maybe he
- 29:15was going for it, but you're not 100% sure? Because it's pretty close to honestly.
- 29:18>> Cameron: What I'm only asking because, Roke hasn't
- 29:21even considered the thought of pickpocketting to make
- 29:24money. But if he sees
- 29:27Macki doing it. That's what I'm saying. If he
- 29:30sees Maci doing it, then the idea would strike his mind and
- 29:33now he'd be thinking about nothing but
- 29:34pickpocketeah.
- 29:36>> Cameron: You know what that would be? Just now
- 29:39that we have this ball rolling whenever we're walking
- 29:42through city streets, immediately just roll
- 29:45for it.
- 29:47>> Skylar: Can just like Assassin's Creed.
- 29:50>> Cameron: One guy there.
- 29:51>> Cameron: Well, I'm gonna see him trying to like, pick that second
- 29:54person's pa, but it was very clumsy. So he missed the first
- 29:57one, but he sees a bad attempt at a second one.
- 30:00>> Skylar: Sure.
- 30:00>> Cameron: So Roark'like M wonder if I can just do better than that.
- 30:03And so he just kind of, takes
- 30:06his hand and he just tohes
- 30:09the gu.
- 30:10>> Skylar: Throws.
- 30:10>> Cameron: He just throws his hand. And as he flicks his hand forward,
- 30:13a second hand flies out of his hand. And it's
- 30:16a mage hand.
- 30:17>> Skylar: Yes.
- 30:17>> Cameron: And it chases down the man. But while it does,
- 30:21it goes invisible.
- 30:22>> Skylar: Yes.
- 30:22>> Cameron: And it's going to pick his pocket.
- 30:24>> Skylar: All right, do a sleight of hand. Check.
- 30:29>> Cameron: 17. 17 with an invisible
- 30:32hand.
- 30:32>> Skylar: Oh, no, he got
- 30:35a 19.
- 30:36>> Cameron: Oh.
- 30:49>> Skylar: He goes u. Oh, Mary.
- 30:51>> Skylar: Mary, it's touching my bum.
- 30:53>> Skylar: It's touching my bum.
- 30:54>> Skylar: Mary.
- 30:55>> Cameron: But he has no idea what is.
- 30:57>> Skylar: And they don't know what it is. They're too scared to even
- 30:59look behind him. And they just start sprinting even
- 31:02faster. We're gonna
- 31:05have to bleach these geneans.
- 31:06>> Cameron: I'm sexually assaulted by a
- 31:09ghost.
- 31:12>> Cameron: The hands gonn start snapping and chasing.
- 31:16>> Skylar: It hits like a 30 foot.
- 31:18>> Cameron: It'orides back to.
- 31:19>> Cameron: Yeah, it's 30.
- 31:21>> Skylar: I'm pretty sure it's 30. whatever the case, Mai,
- 31:24you check this wallet and you find 83
- 31:27gold inside.
- 31:29>> Dave: Did he have very nice. Any sort of passes
- 31:32like unlimited pasta or.
- 31:35That's fery ride.
- 31:37>> Skylar: There was a ferry pass in there. this is obviously
- 31:40a trip that he makes fairly regularly. So he
- 31:43buys the month pass. let's say it's like
- 31:46halfway through the month. So you've got a half a month left on this
- 31:48pass. What it's worth?
- 31:51>> Dave: That's like 30.
- 31:53>> Cameron: Go.
- 31:55>> Quinn: Sell it on the black market.
- 31:57>> Skylar: they do like, ah, they do like a discount if you do the full month
- 31:59pass it's like 25 just.
- 32:02Just for anyone that wasnna be curious later or for
- 32:05my reference now I.
- 32:06>> Cameron: Know what to use my money.
- 32:08>> Skylar: Yeah. So many passes. Yeah.
- 32:11>> Cameron: Why get out of this world when you can buy with that with these
- 32:14bargains around.
- 32:15>> Quinn: But what time about what time is it now? After this?
- 32:17>> Skylar: Yeah. Yeah. So it'd probably be about 8:30
- 32:20say.
- 32:21>> Quinn: So I say there. I think we should head over to
- 32:24Gideon's gizmos.
- 32:25>> Cameron: It's just two of us.
- 32:26>> Quinn: Is it just two of us?
- 32:27>> Cameron: Where the those two ran off?
- 32:29>> Quinn: Oh, they're still going.
- 32:30>> Skylar: I don'think they ran off. They were we still.
- 32:31>> Cameron: That's no, I'm just me
- 32:34and Ko.
- 32:35>> Skylar: I'm pretty sure you all are like within range of the dock. I think
- 32:38Mai is kind of on the edge of the water right off the
- 32:41dock.
- 32:42>> Cameron: He scampered off. Does scampered
- 32:44off.
- 32:45>> Cameron: I did the little heel click and ran away.
- 32:47>> Skylar: Oh yeah, that's right.
- 32:47>> Cameron: That right.
- 32:49>> Fatty Lumpkins: Yeah. Disappeared into a crowd of people.
- 32:52>> Skylar: Yeah.
- 32:53>> Cameron: I'll just return.
- 32:53>> Skylar: That's all right.
- 32:54>> Dave: I. We'll just just. Hey, who's got that rock?
- 32:57>> Quinn: I have rock.
- 32:59>> Dave: Can I see it?
- 33:00>> Cameron: Yeah. We haven't. We haven't asked our question today, have
- 33:03we?
- 33:04>> Quinn: I was gonna use it to.
- 33:06>> Skylar: No, no, I think you did.
- 33:08>> Quinn: No. Yeah, we have. It's not a new day. It's still the sameu I
- 33:11asked cuz I was gonna use it to ask where.
- 33:14>> Skylar: Yes.

- 33:18>> Dave: I can't really I take a toss
- 33:21it across this alleall oh,

- 33:25>> Skylar: So I go clink, clink, clink, clink across the the
- 33:28stone and gravel.
- 33:29>> Dave: Wa and I hold a feather
- 33:32back with my winged arm.
- 33:35Wait for it. It does.
- 33:38>> Skylar: And sure enough, after a moment goes by,
- 33:40this light emanates from the skyai beam
- 33:43straight down onto the rock.
- 33:47>> Dave: I ve lit the beacon.
- 33:51>> Skylar: And as you watch, a
- 33:53multitude of small insects starts
- 33:56to form around this bright light.
- 33:59>> Dave: Wait, they can see it?
- 34:01>> Cameron: Only we could see it apparently.
- 34:04>> Skylar: You in bugs.
- 34:05>> Cameron: Oh, I just wrote that into
- 34:07that's interesting.
- 34:11How do we use this for ourselves? We can just make bugs
- 34:14appear out of nowhere.
- 34:15>> Skylar: the help that will and everyone.
- 34:17>> Cameron: Be like why are all these bugs right here? There's no reason
- 34:20these trick I can.
- 34:22>> Skylar: Make bugs w wow.
- 34:24>> Dave: The bug are attracted to that beacon.
- 34:26>> Fatty Lumpkins: Are those those fleas that were crawling all over you?
- 34:29>> Skylar: Yeah, it's the fleas. They've go for
- 34:31you.
- 34:36>> Dave: hopefully decks or Des will see
- 34:39the.
- 34:42>> Cameron: Yeah.
- 34:43>> Skylar: Oh, yeah.
- 34:44>> Cameron: He's gonna. It's gonna spot him on top of a roof
- 34:47nearby.
- 34:51>> Cameron: Assassin.
- 34:52>> Cameron: Creo.
- 34:55>> Skylar: Where did I.
- 34:56Gets into a
- 34:59haystack. You hear an eagle for
- 35:02some reason. It's just me it.
- 35:07All right, so you guys are together. What were you, gonna say to him?
- 35:09Little sauce?
- 35:10>> Quinn: just. I think we should, head to Gideon gizmos. It's getting
- 35:12late and he'll have some more information
- 35:15for us. Try and find mygriddle.
- 35:18I can go over and I'm gonna bat all the
- 35:21bugs away. I pick up the rock and I just
- 35:24shake my head and put it back in my pocket.
- 35:27>> Skylar: Feather.
- 35:28>> Dave: can see the beacon.
- 35:29>> Quinn: K. Yeah.
- 35:30>> Skylar: Yes.
- 35:30>> Dave: Because yeah, he found sort of he frown rock
- 35:33earlier.
- 35:34>> Skylar: Right? Right. He's kind of been given.
- 35:35>> Cameron: He's been given power.
- 35:37>> Skylar: Power.
- 35:37>> Dave: Yeah.
- 35:38>> Skylar: Like revel.
- 35:39>> Cameron: Sentience.
- 35:40>> Cameron: It's more just sentience.
- 35:43Apparently bugs are sentient in this world.
- 35:46>> Skylar: Who knows what else.
- 35:50>> Cameron: Okay, that was not the booice.
- 35:53>> Skylar: Okay, you
- 35:56lead your friends over to the Shoot. I forget what it
- 35:59was called. I'm pretty sure it was like the trinket square. I'm
- 36:02pretty sure is what it's called. Yes. Trinket square. You
- 36:05lead them over to trinket square and you guys are easily able to
- 36:07see the old warn sign over
- 36:10Gideon's gizmos.
- 36:12>> Cameron: while we're heading there, do we pass people?
- 36:14>> Skylar: Oh, absolutely.
- 36:15>> Cameron: Oh, yeah. I'm gonna start picking their pockets. My invisible mage hand
- 36:18Allgh ro.
- 36:19>> Skylar: Let's just do three.
- 36:21>> Cameron: Okay.
- 36:24I'm aiming for richer looking people.
- 36:26>> Skylar: Sure.
- 36:28>> Cameron: 14, 21 and
- 36:3127.
- 36:32>> Skylar: Okay. I'm gon toa call two of those a success.
- 36:42106 coins
- 36:44alghty.
- 36:46>> Cameron: That's justa for the rest of campaign.
- 36:49>> Cameron: Wait, you only need to do that, what, a thousand more
- 36:51times.
- 36:52>> Cameron: And this is just passive income for me at this
- 36:55point.
- 36:56>> Cameron: Des would like to do the same.
- 37:00>> Cameron: But wait, but this can't see
- 37:03ro doing this. So desm try to do polulls
- 37:06from the same person because I'm doing it invisibly.
- 37:09>> Dave: But he's aiming for rich people.
- 37:14>> Skylar: Go poor people.
- 37:23three. sleight of hands.
- 37:24>> Cameron: You bet. I, won't
- 37:27use my mag chan. Although my mag hand would be very funny
- 37:30because it's just a bunch of bugs.
- 37:33It's actually the twig.
- 37:35>> Cameron: Yeah'definitely ch pickpockets.
- 37:38>> Cameron: it can lift something that is.
- 37:40>> Cameron: Under I have from l from
- 37:43the arane tricker that adds the let's
- 37:46see. Ability to pickpockets with it. It says you can
- 37:49use the hand to manipulate an object. Open a un lock door or
- 37:52container ste or retrieve an item from an open
- 37:54container, pour the contents out of a vial.
- 37:57>> Cameron: Technically a pocket is an open
- 38:00container.
- 38:01>> Cameron: That's if it's straight out of a pocket.
- 38:04You would have to like be out of the. And
- 38:07there's just a hand be behind them just pulling out money.
- 38:10>> Skylar: I'll give you one sl of him.
- 38:12>> Cameron: One sl.
- 38:14>> Cameron: Then they would just see a hand just floating away with.
- 38:17>> Cameron: So right. You'll give me one slide of hand. I will use my
- 38:20mag chain because that's funny. It's just a bunch of little twig
- 38:22sprites. Yeah, I'm in this one.
- 38:24>> Skylar: Guyping be
- 38:26noticed.
- 38:28>> Cameron: Oh no, they don't care. They're just climbing this guy O they.
- 38:30>> Skylar: Just taking his wallet. They take like a
- 38:33coin each and they just go. The.
- 38:37>> Cameron: Slight of hand though, it's probably pretty good.
- 38:40>> Skylar: O.
- 38:40>> Cameron: It's a. It's a five.
- 38:43>> Skylar: It's a total mark.
- 38:44>> Cameron: Total of five.
- 38:45>> Skylar: So your twig sprites like you send them. Your little
- 38:47swarm hand reaches out and they sort of kind of emanate from
- 38:50it. Are they like are they like Fae creatures?
- 38:53>> Cameron: Yeah, kinda.
- 38:54>> Skylar: So they kind of spawn out of you. They like come out of your
- 38:57sleeve like some kind of. I don't know. Naruto.
- 38:59>> Cameron: I like to imagine that they look like.
- 39:02>> Skylar: I was gonna say I'm pretty sure that is.
- 39:04>> Cameron: I like to imagine that they. They look
- 39:07like the cinnamon stick guy from the old Apple
- 39:09Jack.
- 39:11>> Cameron: Just thousands of themstari
- 39:14m
- 39:21dreadlocks.
- 39:23>> Skylar: They're all running across street. They just have like really high
- 39:26pitch Jamaican accent.
- 39:30>> Cameron: No wonder they got. No wonder they got
- 39:32caught.
- 39:35>> Skylar: they re all like scrambling on top of each other as they climb up this
- 39:38dude's leg. He notices as his leg starts to
- 39:41suddenly weigh a lot
- 39:42morehsh.
- 39:46And he's just panicking, trying to like swat him off of his body
- 39:49and then. Then he goes sprinting off.
- 39:51>> Cameron: Darn.
- 39:51>> Skylar: In fear.
- 39:52>> Cameron: Wonder what his problem is.
- 39:55>> Skylar: It's not a dream this time.
- 40:01>> Cameron: I wonder if he saw the puppet as
- 40:04he disappears.
- 40:05>> Skylar: off into the distance. You guys round a corner and you
- 40:07find yourselves opened up into Trinket
- 40:10Square. A series of stores in sort of a
- 40:13wide square, radius with a
- 40:16big open square in the middle in a fountain in the middle
- 40:19of that. That has just a strange kind of
- 40:21abstract piece of art. it's sort of like a
- 40:24series of Gears and just
- 40:27obscure pieces that all move and spin and whatnot. And
- 40:30that's what allows the water to kind of shoot out of the top of it.
- 40:33you're not really sure what it's supposed to be. but it's a series
- 40:36of odd trinkets kind of all put together into one big
- 40:39trinket gadget that moves this water. A
- 40:41poountain. whatever the case, you guys see
- 40:44Gideon's, gadgets,
- 40:47and Feather McGregor leads you there and
- 40:50opens up the door. it is still open. The
- 40:53light is still on on the outside of lantern
- 40:56has not been blown out. So you guys let yourselves inside,
- 40:59and the rest of you are all greeted by what is
- 41:02Gideon's trinkets. a series of shelves
- 41:04all crammed full of various odd
- 41:07trinkets, metal gizmos and gadgets. Some of it's a
- 41:10assembled, some of them not. everything from
- 41:13little clockwork dolls and puppets to
- 41:15pocket watches hanging from, racks
- 41:18to mechanical jewelry pieces. Puzzle
- 41:21boxes wind up toys, music boxes,
- 41:24small automaton pets. Des, I think you
- 41:27probably get a little bit of a twitch seeing all of these, what would
- 41:30technically be constructs. even though they're small,
- 41:32they're toys. They're not like full automatons
- 41:35per se, or anything like that. They're not human sized. But I
- 41:38think there's probably something in you that's probably like, oh,
- 41:41yeah, these
- 41:43things.
- 41:44>> Cameron: for Des, he begins to feel very
- 41:46warm upon entering the room. It's like,
- 41:49uncomfortably warm in here.
- 41:51>> Skylar: Okay.
- 41:52>> Cameron: He's pulling at a non existent shirt collar.
- 41:56>> Skylar: Awesome. you can hear somebody. It sounds like probably
- 41:59working in the back of the shop
- 42:02once again.
- 42:03>> Quinn: Get in.
- 42:04>> Skylar: Get in. Giddy on up here.
- 42:08>> Quinn: Gy on up here.
- 42:12>> Skylar: You might be here to rob me, but I never heard that one before. So I'll come
- 42:15on out. Oh, hey, it's Feather
- 42:18McGregor with it. Oh, you got a whole band of friends
- 42:20here are all these.
- 42:23>> Quinn: We're here to. We're here to find McGriddle.
- 42:26>> Skylar: Oh.
- 42:26>> Skylar: Oh, fantastic. U
- 42:29Cool.
- 42:30>> Quinn: But they only agreed to do it for the
- 42:32gold. 50.
- 42:34>> Skylar: Understand? And of course, if you find the kids, you can return
- 42:36those for an additional, rewards, since that's what you're all
- 42:39about.
- 42:41>> Quinn: How many kids are missing? Oh, since
- 42:44the last time we spoke earlier today. Any. Any more
- 42:46disappearances.
- 42:47>> Skylar: If I'm being completely honest with you, the people in the
- 42:50area are so upset. I have not left this
- 42:53store in quite some time. Probably the last couple of
- 42:55weeks. Last, I heard it's
- 42:58probably about a dozen kids.
- 43:00>> Quinn: Says this morning.
- 43:01>> Skylar: Oh, no, no, no.
- 43:02>> Skylar: In total.
- 43:02>> Skylar: Total.
- 43:04>> Skylar: That's last I heard, though.
- 43:05>> Quinn: I mean, this still pretty bad.
- 43:07>> Skylar: Oh, yeah, it's definitely pretty bad. I'm gonna
- 43:10give McGriddle the spinking of his
- 43:12life when we find him and you bring him back.
- 43:15>> Quinn: Any. Any. Any more leads on where he might be?
- 43:18>> Skylar: Oh, nothing since the last time I I remember how I told you you should
- 43:21talked to those people here in town. Might be a little bit late for
- 43:24that, but u I feel like they'd be your best bet.
- 43:27>> Quinn: When have the disappearance has been happening again? What time of
- 43:30day?
- 43:30>> Skylar: U usually during the well cut em mix.
- 43:33Honestly. U yeah, some of them during
- 43:36the day, some of them m at night,
- 43:40sort of late afternoon. About when
- 43:43kids would be sent to bed by their parents.
- 43:47Like I said, I haven't been out much, so I don't know a whole lot of the
- 43:50g details.
- 43:52>> Quinn: Well, we're here to help. Do you have any gizmos that, might
- 43:55help us?
- 43:57>> Skylar: It's not really what I do
- 44:00M My stuff is dolls, toys. I don't make weapons.
- 44:03>> Cameron: He doesn't make useful training.
- 44:05>> Quinn: Yeah, but she got you got. You got gadgets and
- 44:08trinkets, Anything that might help us.
- 44:11>> Skylar: I'm gonna be honest with you. Not really. I haven't had.
- 44:14Had the same inspiration I had
- 44:17since McGriddle died,
- 44:21unfortunately.
- 44:22>> Quinn: And you haven't worked on any more of these dolls or anything like
- 44:25that?
- 44:25>> Skylar: Well, I mean. I mean, dolls aore
- 44:28o life saying bring it. No, I don't have anyone else
- 44:31to bring back to life. Who else would I bring back?
- 44:34>> Skylar: Wife?
- 44:35>> Skylar: We already talked about this, and I have no
- 44:37interest.
- 44:42>> Quinn: All right, well, anybody have any questions.
- 44:45>> Skylar: You want me to let you know who might be able to help you?
- 44:49>> Quinn: If you got any leads, we'll take them.
- 44:51>> Skylar: All right, well, let's see here. M, you
- 44:53could talk to the victim's parents. That'd be an
- 44:56awkward conversation, but I feel like maybe they could give you some more
- 44:59detail. there's the guards in the area. They know a
- 45:02lot about the crimes, so they obviously know a lot about the
- 45:05disappearances and the, you know, situations
- 45:08and scenarios surrounding them. U, let's see. A
- 45:10lion. Oh, a lion. The street ed. Now, that kid gets
- 45:13around. He knows all the gossip around town.
- 45:16He knows just about everything. And he's also one of the few kids that hasn't
- 45:19been taken, which is u maybe a
- 45:22little suspicious. I don't know. let's See,
- 45:25the shop owners, most of them are probably parents, so the
- 45:28kids disappeared. So let's kind of a double up on there.
- 45:30let's see. Oh, sister Serena.
- 45:33She's the one that stops by every once in a while and checks in on me,
- 45:36make sure everything's okay. She's been talking about having some weird
- 45:39dreams and more like nightmares.
- 45:42>> Cameron: I don't know.
- 45:43>> Skylar: You know, spiritual types. They always seem to know a little something. Something
- 45:46about the weird, supernatural things going on in tower. So
- 45:49she might have some ideas.
- 45:50>> Cameron: Like a demon? A man summoned?
- 45:53>> Skylar: Let's hope not.
- 45:54>> Cameron: Des looks at you with a quizzical face.
- 45:57>> Cameron: That's what we're finding, right? A demon.
- 46:02>> Skylar: Who said the d word?
- 46:04>> Cameron: You said you summoned him, right?
- 46:06>> Skylar: Oh, yes, my son.
- 46:08>> Cameron: Isn't that, like, what you do
- 46:11when you summon something? Summon a demon?
- 46:14>> Skylar: No. You try not to. You really just summon the
- 46:17soul that you're going for. And that's what I
- 46:20did.
- 46:21>> Cameron: Did McGrtel steal kids in the past?
- 46:24>> Skylar: not as far as I knew. Steal k in
- 46:27the back of the day?
- 46:28>> Skylar: No.
- 46:29>> Quinn: see, I didn't want to bring it up earlier, but since he
- 46:32went it ahead and was blunt about it. Are we sure it's
- 46:35McGriddle?
- 46:35>> Cameron: It's not sure.
- 46:37>> Skylar: It's McGrntle.
- 46:39>> Quinn: TheGriddle wouldn't steal children
- 46:43all.
- 46:43>> Skylar: Here's how. Work the thing, the
- 46:46spell, whatever. The ritual I did. So, it
- 46:49brought back a soul, and you had to have things
- 46:52from that soul's past. You used them as part of the
- 46:55ritual.
- 46:55>> Quinn: What things did you use?
- 46:57>> Skylar: Oh, you know, his old crossbow that
- 47:00he used over at blink space U. his
- 47:02favorite doll that I made him as a kid. Little bump?mp
- 47:06bump to billin. Bump to bin. Gosh, how.
- 47:08I don't know why he gave him such a name. Bump to bin.
- 47:11>> Quinn: Hang on. Hang on. Him. But didn't you make a replica bump
- 47:13toin for the other troubled neighborhood kids?
- 47:16>> Skylar: Sure, but I didn't give them the original.
- 47:19>> Quinn: Are you sure this is the original?
- 47:21>> Skylar: I'm dange sure.
- 47:22>> Quinn: How. How do you know?
- 47:24>> Skylar: I haven't really touched a whole lot from McGriddle's old
- 47:26room. And that was one of the things in there.
- 47:29>> Quinn: McGriddle used to like to loan him
- 47:32out so that his friends could feel safe at night when
- 47:35they're having bad days.
- 47:36>> Skylar: Okay, but here's the thing. Here's the thing. This
- 47:39thing, when it animated or
- 47:41the soul came through or whatever, what you want to call it? it
- 47:44was out For a couple of days, like on, you know, it was kind of
- 47:47unresponsive for the most part. I put it in
- 47:50McGriddle's room because I was confident I did it right.
- 47:53>> Skylar: And it was McGriddle.
- 47:54>> Skylar: And, you know, that's where he stayed. So I put him in mygriddle's room.
- 47:57And then over the course of a couple of days, that's when he finally came
- 48:00out of the room. And he seemed like he was getting better. You know,
- 48:03this is kind of a process to
- 48:05get used to the body that you're inside of, I
- 48:08assume. and he came out and
- 48:11he knew all sorts of things that McGriddle.
- 48:13>> Skylar: Only McGriddor would have known.
- 48:14>> Skylar: I. I don't see how it possibly could have been anyone other
- 48:17than McGriddle.
- 48:20>> Skylar: Any.
- 48:21>> Skylar: Any other questions? What else do you need? What else do
- 48:24you need?
- 48:25>> Cameron: I'm measuring things around the room.
- 48:27>> Skylar: Okay. Okay.
- 48:29>> Cameron: What are you measuring with?
- 48:31>> Cameron: My hand.
- 48:32>> Skylar: Oh, okay.
- 48:33>> Cameron: Stick my hand up. Next up. Like wooden objects.
- 48:35>> Skylar: Sure.
- 48:36>> Dave: Old carpenter'trick that's right.
- 48:37>> Cameron: I'm just measuring stuff.
- 48:39>> Skylar: Yes. I had a teacher back in college. He's a
- 48:42theater professor. And that's. Yeah, he talked about like, using
- 48:45your parts of your body to measure different things.
- 48:48Sure.
- 48:48>> Dave: Yeah.
- 48:49>> Cameron: And he's measuring stuff. And he's definitely not doing this just
- 48:51to find out how many things he could stuff into a sack without
- 48:54becoming.
- 48:57>> Skylar: I will say. And this is.
- 48:58>> Cameron: He's not taking any.
- 49:00>> Skylar: No, no, no.
- 49:01>> Cameron: While this is just happening, he's just randomly putting his hand
- 49:04up next to stuff.
- 49:05>> Skylar: Okay.
- 49:06>> Quinn: Looking at.
- 49:06>> Cameron: Going, just keep putting.
- 49:09Nextff.
- 49:09>> Cameron: Des takes a piece of paper and he writes
- 49:12out, can you show us where the
- 49:15ritual took place?
- 49:16>> Skylar: Oh, the. Can you show
- 49:19me? Certainly. Yes. Actually
- 49:22was in mygrirdle's room. I had to use a place that was familiar
- 49:25to him in order to do it. Yeah, sure. I'll show
- 49:28you.
- 49:28>> Skylar: So he leads you guys upstairs to the room, and
- 49:31inside he opens up the door and you can see on
- 49:34the floor There's a small 4
- 49:37by 4ft. There's a little clearing section of the room.
- 49:40And that's where sort of this almost pentagram
- 49:42esque looking circle with a star inside
- 49:45shape sort of thing is sitting there. the candles have since been
- 49:48removed that he mentioned using in the
- 49:51ritual. there is a little bin that's
- 49:54inside that has some ashes inside of it. And he's
- 49:57like, o.
- 49:57>> Skylar: You have to y. To use the things that I used
- 50:00in the ritual. you had to. You had to burn them? it's kind of
- 50:03part of the whole thing. Fire. I don't know, whatever
- 50:06else. but we had to use those. and
- 50:09that's. That's what the aions. Otherwise, everything's pretty
- 50:12intact.
- 50:12>> Skylar: The bed'a little bit messy. You wonder if maybe he hasn't made it
- 50:15since whenever. The last time the griddle was here
- 50:18and then left.
- 50:19>> Cameron: Are there any. Did he use any runes
- 50:22in the ritual? Would I know that?
- 50:25>> Skylar: That's a good question. I think he probably would have used some
- 50:28sort of magical energy source or
- 50:31components or something like that, for sure. but you wonder if
- 50:33either they would have been consumed as part of the ritual
- 50:36and maybe that was part of within the ashes or if
- 50:39they've kind of been, de. Energized or
- 50:42spent or whatever the case, he probably talks about
- 50:45that. Got you.
- 50:46>> Quinn: Ty Roll, like intelligence or
- 50:49wisdom.
- 50:50>> Skylar: What are you looking for?
- 50:51>> Quinn: Just looking at the things he says he used for the
- 50:54ritual.
- 50:55>> Skylar: Sure, sure.
- 50:55>> Quinn: See if I can spot where. Because obviously something is gone
- 50:58wrong. Or this just doesn't work in general.
- 51:01But I'm assuming something probably went wrong with this.
- 51:04Okay, so is there a way.
- 51:06Which one would I roll for?
- 51:08>> Skylar: If you wanted to see if the ritual was done
- 51:11incorrectly, I would say, as a wizard,
- 51:14you are in a unique position to probably do an
- 51:16arcana check.
- 51:19>> Quinn: Okay. That
- 51:22onee, six
- 51:25oay well within.
- 51:26>> Skylar: Your magical prowess that you've kind
- 51:29of developed over time. You have not seen that
- 51:32you've heard of the dark side of magic. You know, some of the
- 51:35more questionable stuff, some of the, you know, bring back
- 51:38the dead or summon things that you
- 51:41shouldn't bring into this plane or whatever the case. You heard
- 51:44about that stuff, but you've never seen it yourself, so you're not really sure.
- 51:47A whole lot of frame of reference. It definitely gives you the spooks,
- 51:49though.
- 51:50>> Cameron: Dark side of the Magic is a good album by that, one
- 51:53band, Orange Floyd.
- 51:54>> Skylar: Oh, is it really? No. Oh, okay. Does pretty.
- 51:57>> Cameron: It sounds pretty sick, that Pink Floyd.
- 51:59>> Skylar: Dark side.
- 52:02>> Dave: Alrigh Gideyon. I. To be honest, I was
- 52:05a little too excited there before. I
- 52:08wasn't taking in what you said
- 52:10about your ritual. Now, where did. Where did you get
- 52:13this ritual?
- 52:14>> Skylar: Oh, it's in a book.
- 52:17>> Dave: what kind of book?
- 52:18>> Skylar: Well, this book right here.
- 52:19>> Skylar: Ah.
- 52:19>> Cameron: it's called a Necronomica.
- 52:22>> Skylar: I was demon. It was demon.
- 52:24>> Skylar: I.
- 52:25>> Cameron: It.
- 52:26>> Skylar: I was told it was bound in the human
- 52:28skin.
- 52:30>> Skylar: No, it seems like a fairly normal book
- 52:33for the Most part.
- 52:36>> Dave: Mind if I take a closer look at that?
- 52:38>> Skylar: O. Sure. Like I said, I'm not bringing anybody
- 52:41else back, so I don't really need it. I mean, I'm not
- 52:44saying I'm giving it to you, but feel free to take a look.
- 52:48>> Dave: yeah. Maki takes a look at this book.
- 52:50>> Skylar: Ah. All right. So it definitely seems to be an
- 52:53old book. And it is filled with a variety
- 52:55of dark rituals, some of which
- 52:58you can kind of understand. Some of them are very complex,
- 53:01and kind of hard to, you know, make sense of,
- 53:04or read or whatever the case. inside
- 53:07the COVID But what was.
- 53:09>> Dave: What did you say? What did he do with the ritual? He had
- 53:12objects.
- 53:12>> Skylar: Oh.
- 53:13>> Dave: Arrange a cirle.
- 53:14>> Skylar: Yes. So the objects.
- 53:16>> Dave: I was actually reading something, but I just realized
- 53:18that I only get to pick two of these meta magic
- 53:21abilities.
- 53:24>> Skylar: Gotcha. so basically, the way that the ritual.
- 53:27As you find the ritual, he points it out to you in the book. the
- 53:30way that the ritual works is
- 53:33there's the points of this, the exterior points of the
- 53:36star, and those exterior points, you put a
- 53:38candle at the end of each one on the interior points of
- 53:41the star. You have to. But some sort of object that the
- 53:44soul is familiar with. And that's
- 53:47how you are able to
- 53:50used a crossbow. one of the items he used was a
- 53:53crossbow. Yes, it was. Was more
- 53:56of a light crossbow, similar to the one that
- 53:58feather McGregor would have had prior to him quitting.
- 54:01So his boss made him turn that in duty cross.
- 54:04Yes, exactly.
- 54:07>> Dave: Let. Looks like a star pattern ritual.
- 54:10I've seen a few of those.
- 54:13>> Quinn: Well, Gideon,
- 54:16we can go out looking to night, or do you mind if we stay
- 54:19here potentially for the night?
- 54:20>> Skylar: Oh, you're more than welcome to stay here for the night for me
- 54:23too.
- 54:23>> Quinn: And we can get started in the morning or for these guys.
- 54:26>> Skylar: I think that's a great idea.
- 54:28>> Dave: I think maybe if I. This book may
- 54:31possibly give us a clue by examine the
- 54:34ritual on how to track this creature
- 54:36down.
- 54:37>> Quinn: I'm gonn. I'm gonna. You can read the book.
- 54:40I'll look around the room and we'll stay here tonight, see what we can
- 54:43find. And then we start fresh in the morning.
- 54:46>> Cameron: Des would like to,
- 54:49inspect the bed presuming that McGriddle slept
- 54:51in the bed last time he was here.
- 54:53>> Skylar: Yeah.
- 54:54>> Cameron: And to see if he can,
- 54:56gain some sort of like,
- 54:59scent or acknowledgment
- 55:02of the. I, guess
- 55:05feeling that this construct gives him.
- 55:07>> Skylar: So it be to track. Okay.
- 55:09>> Cameron: Like a hound dog. I'm sniffing the bed.
- 55:10>> Skylar: So. Yeah, no,
- 55:13definitely. is there. Does it say anything about, like,
- 55:16a specific skill or is it just.
- 55:17>> Cameron: It says it's easier to track.
- 55:18>> Skylar: Okay, let's do, Let's do an investigation.
- 55:21>> Cameron: Sure.
- 55:23>> Cameron: I'm sure I'm good at that.
- 55:26>> Skylar: Or I guess perception would work as well. If that's more
- 55:29something up his alley, bottom line, it should be something
- 55:31that's.
- 55:33>> Cameron: Yeah, sure.
- 55:37Okay. Sixteen flies.
- 55:40Am I doing perception or
- 55:43investigation?
- 55:43>> Skylar: whichever's. Whichever's higher.
- 55:45>> Cameron: Okay. 16 plus 3 is. And 19.
- 55:47>> Skylar: Okay. You notice some fibers,
- 55:50and you notice a variety of colors.
- 55:53You know, there's a pretty. He's got a wide color
- 55:56palette.
- 55:56>> Cameron: Okay.
- 55:57>> Skylar: That he might be wearing. or maybe it's
- 56:00part of his puppet body.
- 56:02>> Cameron: his multicolored coat.
- 56:03>> Skylar: Y course.
- 56:03>> Cameron: Yes'exactly we're biblical here.
- 56:06>> Skylar: Yes. And then. I don't know. I think at the same time,
- 56:09you would also probably get a little bit of an idea looking at the
- 56:12maybe imprint from the bed or maybe the way that some of the blankets
- 56:15might be laid out, and then also referencing some of the stuff that
- 56:18you see downstairs that Gideon's also
- 56:21made in your head. You can kind of get a little bit of
- 56:24an idea of what this puppet being might look like.
- 56:27>> Cameron: It would look like. Okay,
- 56:30so he's multic colored.
- 56:33>> Cameron: And looks like
- 56:35that. Okay.
- 56:36>> Skylar: Yeah. Kind of looks like, There was like a live action
- 56:39Pinocchio way back in the day. It was kind of creepy.
- 56:42All I remember was at the beginning of it, he steals a
- 56:45cannoli, and he's got, like, cannoli all over his
- 56:48face. He's got, like, whipped cream or whatever, and
- 56:51it just was really eerie looking. I don't know what it was called,
- 56:53though.
- 56:54>> Cameron: But there was a recent live action pe.
- 56:56>> Skylar: That's true. That's true.
- 56:59The old was just. Just
- 57:02creepy looking enough. But whatever
- 57:05the case, I think that if you can find that, I think it'll give you
- 57:08a good idea of, what I'm talking about.
- 57:11>> Dave: Maki wants to look at this
- 57:13ritual, the specific one that brought.
- 57:18Yeah. This griddle entity
- 57:20back.
- 57:21>> Skylar: Sure. It's definitely. I mean, you flip through
- 57:24the book in general, you can definitely. I tell that everything in this
- 57:27book is definitely some kind of a dark magic. There's
- 57:29everything from causing other people pain, like from
- 57:32a distance, kind of like some weird voodoo kind of stuff,
- 57:35to bringing back the dead in a variety of
- 57:38different ways. You could bring back a recently dead body
- 57:41as kind of a zombie Esque or
- 57:43necromamantic spell? all the way
- 57:46to bringing back more of the
- 57:49souls of someone that you actually cared about. Darcidious.
- 57:53encouragement style. You know, you could save
- 57:56her to.
- 57:59Oh man. Let's see. just some really like gross stuff
- 58:02like o changing their or filling their food
- 58:05with maggots or something. You know, just like real nasty
- 58:08kind of witch e kind of stuff.
- 58:10>> Fatty Lumpkins: Where did you get this book? G in.
- 58:12>> Skylar: Oh, someone traded it to me if for a couple
- 58:15of new gadgets I had.
- 58:20>> Fatty Lumpkins: Where did this transaction take place?
- 58:22>> Skylar: Here in my shop.
- 58:23>> Skylar: Not right here because obviously we're in thegriddle'room. But I was
- 58:26downstairs in the shop and
- 58:29a couple of fellows in some spooky
- 58:32hooded situations came in. they
- 58:34said they wanted to. Oh, what was it they wanted?
- 58:37Is this some. Some of my dolls ##s
- 58:41Nothing fancy about them or anything like that. And they said
- 58:44they wanted to trade the book for those.
- 58:48>> Fatty Lumpkins: You keep a ledger? Like any names or anything
- 58:51of these transactions?
- 58:52>> Skylar: Well, if it was a financial transaction then I'm
- 58:55legally obligated to note it in my books.
- 58:58But if it's more of a barter situation, they really
- 59:01can't tax it so I don't keep track of it as much.
- 59:04Why do you ask?
- 59:06>> Fatty Lumpkins: Just wondering if we would be able to back trace this
- 59:09mysterious book.
- 59:11>> Dave: And we're with the
- 59:12ir'sash
- 59:15My badges.
- 59:18>> Skylar: Son's death
- 59:21way on my Che.
- 59:28>> Dave: Maaki like flashes his. He's got like all.
- 59:30>> Skylar: Oh, he's actually doing this.
- 59:34>> Dave: That's more of a joke.
- 59:37Yeah, we're with the King's tax
- 59:38collectionision.
- 59:40>> Skylar: Oh.
- 59:43>> Dave: He'S got like all the badges he's collected
- 59:46so they're not even tax collector
- 59:49badges.
- 59:49>> Quinn: Gideon. Gideon Conn. He's kidding.
- 59:52>> Skylar: He's kidding.
- 59:53>> Cameron: Ktc.
- 59:54>> Skylar: Oh goodness.
- 59:56>> Cameron: King collectors. Nice.
- 59:59>> Skylar: We are with the ktc.
- 1:00:01>> Cameron: The ktc. That's what we need to start doing.
- 1:00:04>> Dave: But Maki does open up
- 1:00:07his notebook and make note
- 1:00:10Gideon behind on his.
- 1:00:12>> Cameron: Tax just in case.
- 1:00:14>> Skylar: You can use that before they
- 1:00:17Gideon gets you guys set up with some various blankets and
- 1:00:20sleeping bag esque things.
- 1:00:22>> Cameron: I don a question?
- 1:00:23>> Skylar: Yeah. Okay.
- 1:00:24>> Cameron: They all went upstairs.
- 1:00:26>> Skylar: Sure.
- 1:00:26>> Cameron: Gideon room. Right.
- 1:00:27>> Skylar: Yeah, I didn't Sure.
- 1:00:29>> Cameron: I was still downstairs put my hand on things.
- 1:00:31>> Fatty Lumpkins: Yep.
- 1:00:33>> Cameron: I was just buying time.
- 1:00:34>> Skylar: Okay.
- 1:00:35>> Cameron: Also I was looking to see where his safe was.
- 1:00:39>> Skylar: yeah, sure. Do an investigation.
- 1:00:41>> Skylar: Check.
- 1:00:42>> Skylar: Hooray.
- 1:00:43>> Cameron: Investigation. Well,
- 1:00:46I suck at that. And actually I'm better at that.
- 1:00:491212.
- 1:00:50>> Skylar: Yeah, I don't think you find Anything.
- 1:00:52>> Cameron: this is a guy see anything of value,
- 1:00:54like jewelry, you
- 1:00:57honestly ge.
- 1:00:59>> Skylar: This place is rules. I mean, there's definitely the clockwork
- 1:01:02jewelry, and some of those are inset with some
- 1:01:05small gems. It's not much, though. It's more about the, like,
- 1:01:08clockwork mechanics of it, which that none of itself might be
- 1:01:11valuable. It just kind of depends. but whatever the case, you. Yeah,
- 1:01:14I mean, you don't find anything that's like, direct money or any, like,
- 1:01:17big gems or anything like that. Mostly. That would probably be
- 1:01:20the most valuable stuff that catches your eye.
- 1:01:22>> Cameron: Boring. Okay,
- 1:01:25well, I guess some blanket time.
- 1:01:27>> Skylar: Algh. So, yeah, he gets you guys all set up with
- 1:01:30some sleeping arrangements, and you guys spend the night
- 1:01:33over at Gideon McGriddle'house.
- 1:01:37during the night, most of you sleep pretty well.
- 1:01:39But Feather McGregor,
- 1:01:42you being so close and reminded of so much
- 1:01:45of your old friend, you experienced some
- 1:01:47nightmares where you see flashbacks of
- 1:01:50the events that led up to your
- 1:01:52friend'death you see, obviously both of you joining
- 1:01:55blank space, you're reliving this within your dream,
- 1:01:58right? Reoining blank space,
- 1:02:01being sent on this special secret
- 1:02:04mission where you were going undercover to,
- 1:02:07seek out an organization known
- 1:02:10as the Legionnaires.
- 1:02:14They are still exist, a group
- 1:02:17of some fairly wealthy people, mostly
- 1:02:20located in the Condale district, sort of a
- 1:02:23gang of sorts. but they do have some
- 1:02:26small factions in Gorthham, and that's where you guys were, right
- 1:02:29here in McGregor's home district.
- 1:02:32And you got in with some of their sort of like a
- 1:02:35small faction or whatever, and you
- 1:02:37got into a situation where they wanted
- 1:02:40you to prove your loyalty to him, essentially.
- 1:02:43And in order to do that, you had to
- 1:02:46kill your friend. And
- 1:02:49just as you are jabbing the knife into your
- 1:02:52friend once again, you wake up,
- 1:02:55you're sweating, you're a
- 1:02:58bit startled, you're a bit out of sorts, and then you remember where you
- 1:03:00are, you remember what's going on now, and
- 1:03:03you're able to go back to slee. And the rest of your sleep
- 1:03:06is fairly uneventful. And
- 1:03:09with that'close out episode
