>> Skylar: Hello, weary traveler. I'm not sure what
0:13
strange magic must have brought you here, but you have
0:16
stepped into a realm of my creation. A,
0:19
ah, sprawling city filled with danger and
0:21
glory, and most importantly, lots of
0:24
gold. I call it Isan
0:27
Numis. Who am I, you might ask?
0:29
The name is Jarim, and I'm the patron
0:32
deity of gambling. Long story
0:35
short, this group of idiots, or as
0:38
you may call them, heroes, made a bet with me that
0:41
they had what it took to make a mass trove of gold,
0:44
but left some.
0:45
>> Skylar: Of the key details blank.
0:47
>> Skylar: So I filled them in myself. I sent
0:50
them to this pocket dimension into the city I
0:53
had created with brand new bodies they'd
0:56
have to attune to.
0:57
>> Skylar: Can these fools pass my test, or.
1:00
>> Skylar: Will they be trapped here forever? So experience my
1:03
world of trials and tribulations and
1:06
join alongside this posse of pitiful
1:08
people, or as I like to call them, the
1:11
criminals of Isan Numis.
1:15
>> Skylar: Alrigh. Welcome to another episode, of Criminals of
1:18
Isaumis. We're back again
1:21
for another episode as. As I just said.
1:24
>> Skylar: Were you not listening?
1:25
>> Skylar: Are you listening now? Because we're jumping into another
1:28
episode. This is episode 10. We did it. We hit double digits with criminals of
1:31
violin Numis. How crazy is that? Our Dungeons and Dragons podcast. And
1:34
now you're here and you're listening, and that's great. I'm.
1:37
We're doing. We're doing the show. We're doing the show, man.
1:40
awesome. Welcome back, to another episode. Like I said, double digits. We
1:43
hit episode 10. let's just jump right into it. let's. Let's
1:46
get everybody introduced and then. And then let's just jump right into it because
1:48
I'm excited. I'm stoked to see what's
1:51
gonna happen here because I think something crazy might happen here. Who
1:54
knows? Let's see what happens. first of all, on my right,
1:57
Dave playing Maki.
2:01
>> Dave: Playing Maki. Maki Mai the
2:04
Cancnu sorcerer, discovering his
2:07
powers ling out his dreams
2:10
inside of wanton
2:13
criminal behavior and violence.
2:15
>> Skylar: O geeez, what a way to describe it.
2:19
Awesome. Next today we've got Quinnyn Feather
2:22
McGregor. AK Lil Sauce.
2:23
>> Quinn: Yep. we're, on an adventure right now to, go see
2:26
Mc Griddle'Dad that's right. I'm sure this isnna turn out
2:29
exactly the way I expected it and want it to.
2:32
>> Skylar: I don't know what that means, but we're gonna find out here shortly.
2:35
Next we got Jackson playing
2:37
Dad.
2:39
>> Cameron: my name is Jack. I play Des. fun fact about Des
2:42
is he is actually a little bit scared of birds.
2:45
>> Skylar: Oh.
2:46
>> Skylar: That's ironic.
2:47
>> Quinn: Wait a minute.
2:49
>> Skylar: That's another thing that would, like, really throw feather for, like, a
2:52
loop because he doesn't know what y'all are
2:55
in the other worlds.
2:58
Awesome. Next to Jackson, we got
3:01
fatty lumpkins playing
3:03
keto. Yeah, I'm fatty.
3:06
I play keto. He's a fighter
3:09
turned echo knight. And, he's a
3:12
kobold. He's a kbold. Awesome. Little
3:14
scaly dude. That's right, Little lizard man. Awesome.
3:17
And then next to him, we've got Cameron playing
3:20
Roick.
3:21
>> Quinn: Hi.
3:22
>> Skylar: what's up? Hey, how's roick?
3:24
>> Dave: He's chilling.
3:25
>> Skylar: He's roric, AKA fizzle fingers, the
3:28
goblin.
3:29
>> Quinn: Golin, who is the
3:32
fastest rising artist in the
3:35
whole island of Nubis.
3:36
>> Skylar: Awesome.
3:37
>> Quinn: He's the hottest goblin in town.
3:39
>> Skylar: That's right. He is. Or he's about to be. That's for sure. He
3:42
was just before someone throws him into a volcano.
3:44
And with that, we're gonna jump into the next or
3:47
episode 10 of Criminals of isaumz.
3:59
All right, last we left off, you guys had or feather
4:02
McGregor kind of taking you guys to,
4:05
blank space, the secret sort of police
4:08
organization that he worked for. and he
4:11
went inside. He basically quit his job.
4:14
And as he was walking out, his boss said that his old
4:16
friend McGriddle, who he had
4:19
lost along the way, to, you
4:22
know, death, the thing that usually takes us
4:25
all. Eventually, his dad, mcgriddle's
4:28
dad, wanted to talk with. With McGregor.
4:31
And so McGregor kind of had a personal vendetta
4:34
to go out there and, find
4:36
his, old friend's dad and find out
4:39
what he wants. While he's doing that, the rest of you
4:42
went into an art studio and caused utter
4:45
chaos in a variety of different
4:47
ways, from shattered pottery to
4:49
horrible messes of paint.
4:53
And, you were sort of kicked out of there. But
4:56
also, the artist, who ran the
4:58
place, took, a lot of
5:01
delight and was very impressed by
5:04
fizzle finger'art specifically. And so
5:07
he told him to go to some temple
5:10
somewhere of the. I think it was the rising flame,
5:13
I believe. whether he follows through with that or not is up to
5:16
him, but we'll find out. But whatever the case, we're going toa cut over
5:19
to straight to, Feather McGregor,
5:22
Little Sauce, who's on a little vendetta, a little
5:25
trip to go see mcgriddle's m. Dad. Who wants to
5:28
see him, Finger.
5:30
Sorry. Not fizzle fingers. Feather McGregor. you
5:33
know, and this is the downside of
5:36
this trip that you want to make. You know, that getting
5:39
to McGriddle's dad, who lives in the
5:42
Atlantis Heights district is on the
5:45
other end of this
5:47
city. You know that the fastest way to
5:50
get there, for the most part, would be
5:53
to hop on to a boat that
5:56
transports people down the river that kind of
5:59
cuts right through the city and goes right into the ocean.
6:02
I think that's a river. I don't know, like the streams of water.
6:05
I don't remember that from school. Okay, I didn't think I'd ever need that
6:07
information, so don't criticize me. but whatever the
6:10
case, this river that runs through the city, you
6:13
could get from the corner of
6:16
Mediumville and row all the way down and
6:19
end up in the Atlantis Heights districts. But it's
6:22
going to take you a bit of time, probably an hour
6:25
just to get there. And then you're going to have to hustle
6:28
to get to the church that you are
6:31
going to be or, sorry, no, the burger place that you are going to be meeting up
6:33
with the rest of the gang, which is back in the medium bu district.
6:36
What's your plan?
6:37
>> Quinn: I guess I'm just going to have to hustle. I don't know what he wants, but we're going
6:40
toa have to go.
6:41
>> Skylar: All right, sounds good. You rush up to. I mean, you can
6:44
try.
6:44
>> Quinn: I'm a little bit late. I'm a little bit
6:46
late'that's.
6:47
>> Skylar: Fin. I mean, I guess, all things considered, those are.
6:50
>> Quinn: The.
6:51
>> Skylar: The two options are running north,
6:53
kind of hitting the top corner of the
6:56
river, taking a boat down, which
6:59
obviously that'll be pretty fast. Or you can try to
7:02
run through the central Stark
7:04
district, which is what kind of separates you
7:07
from the Atlantis Heights
7:10
district. if you wanted to try to do it
7:13
on foot, those are your two choices.
7:16
>> Quinn: How long does to take on foot?
7:19
>> Skylar: Probably about. It's
7:22
a guaranteed hour if you do it on foot. Ideally,
7:24
you could do it a little bit faster if you go by
7:27
boat, but you'll have to kind of backtrack a little bit if you
7:30
go by boat. Because you have to, like, basically go up
7:33
and then take the river down.
7:36
>> Quinn: Let's just go on foot then. we'll just take the hour.
7:38
>> Skylar: All right, sounds good. All right, so you run down the hour.
7:41
you spend an hour basically just hustling through the
7:44
streets, bobbing, weaving, kind of walking through
7:47
again. This is a massive city so cutting through an entire
7:50
district can take quite a long time. you do see you
7:53
a variety of people on these, sort of penny farthing
7:56
bikes. you see, you
7:59
see one automobile,
8:01
a steam powered automobile, which,
8:04
you know, signifies somebody very
8:07
wealthy is driving by. Because only the wealthy
8:09
can possibly afford these
8:12
incredibly highly technical,
8:15
contraptions. They're a fairly new fitt within
8:18
this city. whatever the case, you, see those things.
8:21
but whatever the case, you're focused. You're trying to get through
8:23
this area. So you get to the end of the, Atlantis Heights
8:26
district. You're not looking around or anything. You are beelining it.
8:29
You've taken this route before. You've been to Atlantis Heights before.
8:32
Obviously you know how to get there. it's not any kind of a problem.
8:35
You reach the bridge that goes over the river and into the
8:38
Atlantis Heights district. You cross that, and
8:41
sure enough, you see the Atlantis
8:44
Heights district. I can give a quick
8:47
description. I said Atlantis Heights
8:50
this entire time. I meant to say Gortham. Gosh
8:53
dang it.
8:53
>> Skylar: Sorry.
8:54
>> Skylar: The Gortham district Algh. I
8:57
will give a description, of the Gorthm district. So
9:00
nestled in the southern fringe of the city, the gorthm district
9:03
exudes a rugged charm and lively
9:05
maritime gateway to the city's bustling harbor
9:08
and stands as a testament to the industrious
9:11
spirit of its residence. Gortham district is
9:14
characterized by a labyrinthy, labyrinthine. How do you
9:17
say that?
9:17
>> Cameron: Labyrinth?
9:18
>> Skylar: Labyrinth. network of narrow streets lined with
9:21
warehouses, workshops and a bustling market. The
9:24
district hu with the sound of seafares unloading cargo,
9:27
merchants haggling over prices and the clanging
9:30
of hammers on anvils. It is a place where the scent
9:33
of saltw water mingles with a tang of freshly
9:36
caught fish. Immerrasing visitors in an authentic
9:38
maritime experience is very
9:41
similar to the Atlantis Heights district. Which
9:44
is why I got confused. The Atlantis Heights district is of
9:47
course, the, other kind of bordering
9:49
section of the city to the,
9:53
ocean that kind of sits on the
9:56
sort of south, east southwestern
9:59
corner of this city. Anyway, you cross the
10:01
bridge, you're in the district, you beine it, and you quickly
10:04
find, the house where
10:07
mcgriddle's father lives. Now, McGriddle's father
10:10
doesn't exactly live in a house per se. It is a house, but it
10:13
on the first floor, it is a shop. It's within what is known
10:16
as trinket Square. And the shop itself
10:19
is called Gideon's gizmos. And you can
10:22
see Gideon gizmos the words carved into a
10:24
polished wood sign that kind of hangs over the
10:27
door. You've been here a few times. you know, you
10:30
know it pretty well.
10:31
>> Quinn: Just gonna. I want to go find his dad. I, you know, I don't get
10:34
a lot of time, so'll see what he wants. Okay.
10:36
>> Skylar: You go into the shop, and as you walk inside, you
10:39
don't see Gideon at first. you see sort of
10:42
the little desk where he kind of runs transactions and
10:45
things from. You know, it's kind of the shop counter. And then behind it
10:48
you can see all sorts, of clockwork
10:51
related things. There's
10:54
dolls, puppets, pocket watches that kind
10:57
of just hang from the displays. You see
11:00
some mechanical jewelry other than watches. You
11:03
see little puzzle boxes. You see wind up toys. You
11:06
see music boxes, even small automated
11:09
pets that you can kind of wind up with a little, like, crank on the
11:12
side. all of this is just kind of scattered about on
11:14
shelves on little displays. It's a bit
11:17
messy in here, if we're being completely honest. but the
11:20
items themselves look like they are very well taken care of.
11:23
and sit, you know, really nicely wherever
11:26
amidst the mess that they sit. there's also a
11:29
variety of kind of just loose clockwork bits and pieces,
11:32
cogs and little whirring things,
11:34
handles and things along those lines that just kind of sit
11:37
scattered about that haven't been put into an
11:40
actual item yet. but you recognize
11:43
all of this because, you know, like I said, you've been here before.
11:46
this is your ex or dead best friend's
11:49
dad. You know, you knew what he did. You've probably been here and
11:52
talk to him and hung out and stuff. So anyway, you do hear
11:55
some fiddling going on from, around the
11:57
corner. There's kind of another side room where, you know, that Gideon
12:00
usually goes to actually work on his various
12:03
mechanical bits and bobbles.
12:05
>> Quinn: Okay. And he said he's not there right now.
12:07
>> Skylar: Well, you can hear him in the back.
12:09
>> Quinn: Okay, yeah, we'll just head to the back. Knock on the door
12:12
at Gideon. It. It's
12:15
Featherather.
12:16
>> Skylar: Is that you?
12:17
>> Skylar: And sure enough, the man turns around. He's got
12:20
very, like, kind of crazy white hair. Looks like, like I
12:23
said, either Doc Brown or like, Rick from Rick and Morty.
12:26
You know, he's got kind of this crazy hair. He's got big old
12:29
goggles on, and a magnifying glass that kind of
12:32
comes off of. It's got, like, an arm that attaches to the
12:35
goggles and kind of comes down frontt. So when he turns to you, you see this
12:38
big giant eye reflected in the goggle and he
12:40
goes.
12:41
>> Skylar: Father, it's been so
12:44
long. How are you, my boy?
12:47
>> Quinn: I'm doing great. I was told you wanted to see me by u. Captain.
12:50
Chief. Chief. Captain.
12:52
>> Skylar: Yes, yes, of course. I was talking to him the other
12:54
day. Oh, sorry. It's a bit of a mess in here.
12:57
>> Skylar: And he kind of just starts to move around. He's kind of like picking things up and moving
13:00
things around to kind of like tidy up a little bit.
13:02
>> Skylar: Oh yes, it's just been. It's been a heck of
13:05
a time, you know, trying to keep things clean and
13:08
just so much work to do. how have you
13:10
been?
13:12
>> Quinn: I've been. Well, things are definitely changing.
13:14
>> Skylar: Oh, how so?
13:16
>> Quinn: It'it's a lot to explain. How have you
13:19
been?
13:19
>> Skylar: Oh, well, I've, you know, it's been
13:22
busy. It's been busy for sure. I've had some very,
13:25
very special project I've been working on. and I think
13:28
I found some success. but I may need a
13:31
little bit of guidance, from somebody with
13:34
some police background. That's why I wanted to get a
13:37
hold of you.
13:38
>> Quinn: What do you got?
13:41
>> Skylar: And he kind of pauses for a moment and he turns
13:44
around,
13:45
>> Skylar: He says o please take, take a seat.
13:47
>> Skylar: And he points towards a just a, a bench
13:49
that's just sitting kind of in the back of the room.
13:51
>> Quinn: All right, I'll go sit down.
13:53
>> Skylar: And he takes a seat as well.
13:55
>> Skylar: And he says out of curiositye.
13:58
Is it would you say. And maybe this is a bit of
14:00
a. Oh, how would you say this,
14:03
intellectual question, maybe
14:06
metaphorical whatnot.
14:09
Is a man attached
14:12
to the crimes of his
14:14
creation?
14:17
>> Quinn: It's a little bit above my head.
14:20
>> Skylar: Let's see, maybe if I phrase it differently, maybe it'll help
14:24
get the idea across here. So, let's say somebody makes
14:27
something, and then that thing, commits a
14:29
crime. does that make the one who created
14:32
it responsible for the crime?
14:35
>> Quinn: Not necessarily. Not if you didn't ###intend
14:37
criticogr just tell me what's going on.
14:39
>> Skylar: Well, it's a bit complicated.
14:42
Like I said, I've been working on a particularly special
14:45
project. U made something u something
14:48
good, I think, and u
14:51
well, maybe it had a little bit u, diverse results I wasn't
14:54
expecting. You know, maybe it's gotten
14:57
a little bit out of control. U, I'M not sure
15:00
exactly if I need to go to somebody
15:03
to get help or maybe just.
15:06
>> Quinn: Just tell me what's going on. I gotta be somewhere in an hour.
15:09
>> Skylar: O.
15:10
>> Skylar: Look.
15:13
>> Quinn: I just. I'm sorry. I've got. I've got.
15:16
I've got something really important going on. I just get to it
15:19
so I can help you.
15:22
I've always, In my mind, I'm sit.
15:24
>> Skylar: I'm like.
15:24
>> Quinn: I've always hated how his dad just rambles.
15:27
Ra. It's true. Doesn't get on with the
15:30
point.
15:30
>> Skylar: U. Well, look, if
15:33
you've got somewhere to be, I don't want to keep you from that. It's
15:36
a bit too complicated for me to just kind of quickly
15:39
blurt out. It's gonna take a little bit more
15:42
time to discuss the really
15:45
fin details of this, situation. But I really,
15:47
truly think it's something that you, especially of all the
15:50
people in this entire city, will really appreciate. almost
15:53
as much as myself. I have appreciated it. But
15:56
again, if you've got something else going on,
15:59
just come back another time. I'm sure it'll be fine. I'm sure there
16:01
won't be any more problems.
16:03
>> Quinn: Just tell you what's going on.
16:04
>> Skylar: It's. Again, it's just too complicated's and
16:07
it's so amazing. I just feel like it's gonna take
16:10
more time than just a couple of moments in a chair sitting
16:13
across me. I can't explain.
16:15
>> Quinn: Can, like, roll like
16:17
investigation or.
16:19
>> Skylar: Well, what are you looking for?
16:21
>> Quinn: Just he's obvious got it.
16:23
>> Skylar: This.
16:23
>> Quinn: He's made something, and this something has done something
16:26
bad. Okay. Kind of what I'm getting from this.
16:29
>> Skylar: Sure.
16:29
>> Quinn: I'm just looking around for maybe clues around what
16:32
he's created.
16:34
>> Skylar: Okay.
16:34
>> Skylar: Yeah.
16:34
>> Quinn: That be investigation.
16:35
>> Skylar: Yeah.
16:37
>> Quinn: Not 20 holy serious. Yeah.
16:40
>> Skylar: Holy cow. Okay. I tell you what. Ask
16:44
you. You get his attention. you get him
16:47
to kind of shut up for a second, you know,
16:49
and ask him. Ask him a question.
16:52
>> Quinn: Gideon. Yes,
16:55
I. I've got a lot going
16:58
on, but I want to help you.
17:01
I'm. I owe it to your son.
17:03
>> Skylar: Okay.
17:04
>> Quinn: Tell me what's going on so I can help you.
17:09
>> Dave: Okay.
17:11
>> Skylar: All right. I'll say it this way. You
17:13
don't have to owe it to my son
17:16
anymore because I think
17:20
I might have found a way to bring him
17:23
back.
17:25
>> Quinn: That's a horrible idea.
17:27
>> Skylar: Okay, so you say that, which is
17:30
kind of why I brought you here.
17:33
There's very possible chance, I
17:36
already did it.
17:39
And there's a very possible chance that
17:42
as I mentioned before I got some results that I
17:45
was not expecting, but
17:48
it worked. And I think that's the important
17:51
takeaway here.
17:53
>> Quinn: You never mess with the dead. What have you
17:56
done? What? Where's he at? What have you done? Let me sit.
17:58
>> Skylar: That's. That's kind of where things get complicated. That's what I
18:01
wanted to talk to you about. Right u. He's, not here
18:04
right now.
18:05
>> Quinn: Where is he?
18:06
>> Skylar: I'm not sure, which is part of the
18:08
problem.
18:11
He has a bit of a
18:13
rambunctious spirit that I feel
18:16
like maybe he was missing before, which is
18:19
great. You know, maybe there was something that was a part of
18:22
him that needed to, you know, exist to complete
18:25
him. whatever the case, he's taken off,
18:28
and, you know, I
18:31
respect his independence. He's an adult.
18:34
>> Quinn: He's dead.
18:36
>> Skylar: Not anymore. Technically speaking.
18:41
I got his soul, and
18:44
I put.
18:45
>> Quinn: It in something of my own
18:47
creation, which was.
18:49
>> Skylar: Well, I mean, it was a puppet before, but now it's realud. Oh,
18:52
yeah.
18:59
>> Quinn: Not the creepy puppets you used to play with. Or would you give
19:02
us to play with? They're creepy.
19:04
>> Skylar: Were creepy.
19:05
>> Quinn: Yes. They scared me.
19:06
>> Skylar: That's why you screamed every time I woke you up holding
19:09
one over your head. When you stayed the night with
19:12
McGripple, when you guys had your sleepovers.
19:15
I thought it was fun. You were
19:17
scared.
19:19
>> Quinn: I scared the whole time.
19:20
>> Skylar: What? Why?
19:23
It's just a doll. It's wood.
19:26
>> Skylar: It just.
19:26
>> Skylar: It moves. Only when I.
19:28
>> Quinn: It's inan.
19:29
>> Skylar: The new doll. Griddle doll,
19:33
moves without.
19:34
>> Quinn: Its anatomy is very, very
19:37
detailed.
19:38
>> Skylar: I'take that as a complimence.
19:41
I'notself.
19:45
Every single part.
19:47
>> Quinn: Was that why it was every.
19:54
It was so small and nevermin.
19:57
Anyways, I made them
19:59
fairly life size.
20:00
>> Skylar: I made McGriddle'fairly life size.
20:04
What?
20:04
>> Quinn: where'd he run off to? Where's he?
20:07
>> Skylar: If I knew that, I wouldn't have had to call you here. I could have gotten
20:09
him and told him, hey, you know, you messed up. You
20:12
cause some trouble in the area, and, you know,
20:15
it's not cool, and I need you to bring the kids
20:18
back, and then this wa. Blow.
20:20
>> Quinn: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Go back.
20:23
Go back.
20:24
>> Skylar: All right? I would find him, and I would say, you
20:27
know, you messed up. You know, this will all
20:30
blow over, and that's fine. You just need to bring the kids back.
20:32
>> Quinn: Oh, yah.
20:33
>> Cameron: Stop.
20:34
>> Quinn: Stop. Okay. What kids?
20:36
>> Skylar: Oh, the kids. Oh, yeah. You didn't see the
20:39
missing posters outside?
20:40
>> Quinn: what have you done?
20:42
>> Skylar: Well, I didn't do it.
20:43
>> Skylar: I.
20:44
>> Skylar: Anything. I made a boy out,
20:47
of, wood and brought him to life with my
20:50
son'soul you definitely get the.
20:52
>> Skylar: Idea that this guy has lost some of his
20:55
marbles. And he does definitely own marbles.
20:58
>> Quinn: I. I should have definitely
21:01
been checking in on you more often.
21:03
>> Skylar: Oh, it's okay. I know you're busy with blank space
21:06
and, you know, all that obvious
21:08
business.
21:09
>> Quinn: Obviously not okay.
21:11
>> Skylar: Oh, I've been fine. Like I said, knowing that my son
21:14
is okay and he's back, and, you know, it's just
21:17
been very. Really. It's not.
21:19
>> Quinn: How do we know what s your son? And
21:21
that's something evil?
21:23
>> Skylar: I like to think that as.
21:26
>> Quinn: Where. How did you get his soul back?
21:28
>> Skylar: Well, there was this book that I found, and it had
21:31
a ritual in it about how to bring back the souls of the
21:33
dead, but it just needed some sort of body to put it
21:36
into. So I. I followed the instructions, I got all the
21:39
necessary components, and I said the words,
21:42
and I did the weird little dance and the hand
21:45
motions, and bada bing, bada boom.
21:48
There was my son and soul in
21:51
the thing. And it was a little bit creepy at first, I
21:54
will admit, you know.
21:55
>> Quinn: What did he say?
21:56
>> Skylar: He said, hey, dad, and I
21:59
said, son, and then we had an
22:01
emotional hug, and it was a
22:04
beautiful thing. I'm tearing up a little bit just thinking about
22:07
it. and then, you know, we spent a few
22:10
days together. I made him pancakes.
22:13
He could not eat them. I learned a
22:16
lesson that day. And that's okay. I
22:18
didn't need to cook for him. Which, honestly,
22:21
great.
22:22
>> Skylar: Again, double.
22:24
>> Skylar: Like, he. He's just, like, so much easier to take
22:26
care of. Which, I mean, he's an adult, so.
22:29
>> Quinn: Okay. And then what happened? You made him pancake?
22:32
>> Skylar: Yes.
22:33
>> Quinn: And he went out and.
22:34
>> Skylar: Yes. You would play with the kids outside in
22:37
the area. and I thought, oh, that's a little strange. But, you
22:40
know, it'just it's like a
22:43
rebirth, you know, feather. It s. It's a. It's a rebirth.
22:45
His soul has been put into body. He's got a kind
22:48
of bring back the maturity of
22:51
the adulthood that he once, you know, lived in. I don't know what goes
22:54
on in the afterlife, you know, what he's been experiencing of till
22:57
now. Anyways. and then he, you
23:00
know, started not coming home, and I wasn't sure where he
23:03
was going. And I tried to ask him when he did come home. I'm like, where have you been?
23:06
And he didn't want to tell me. Said he's got a u.
23:08
secret hideout, which I thought, oh, you know kids.
23:12
Secret hideouts is whatever. and then that's when
23:15
the kids started going missing in the area. And I said. I
23:18
said, he came home. And I said, now I'm my
23:20
griddo. Why are kids in the area going missing?
23:23
What do you know about this? And he.
23:25
>> Quinn: Nothing.
23:25
>> Skylar: Dead. Leave me alone. And I was like, okay, I respect
23:28
your independence. and then. And then he kind of
23:31
disappeared altogether. And kids have continued
23:34
to disappear. and people in the
23:37
neighborhood are getting upset, and that's not good for
23:40
business and.
23:41
>> Quinn: Yeah, where was the last seen?
23:44
U.
23:44
>> Skylar: I think I heard someone say they saw him in the
23:47
square talking to one of the
23:49
children. I think he disguised
23:52
himself. Maybe. U. you know, he does
23:55
look like a puppet. To be fair, I, you know, when
23:58
I said that, I marrowed him math to, McGriddle. That's not
24:01
entirely true. I added some fun paint and some other
24:03
things to kind of just like. I didn't think it would work the first time. I
24:06
thought I'd just get a goofy puppet. So I just, you know, I had some
24:09
fun with it, and then it worked the first time, and I. Call me
24:12
surprised.
24:14
>> Quinn: you've put. You put me in a tough spot.
24:17
>> Skylar: Oh, I'm sure it's fine. You were his best friend, and I'm sure
24:20
he'd be excited to see you. And you can bring him home
24:23
and get the kids back, and then you'd be the hero and, you
24:26
know, blame space would be really impressed. You'd probably get
24:28
promoted.
24:31
>> Quinn: Yeah. this is. This is not good.
24:33
Well, we're gonna have to.
24:35
>> Skylar: I don't think it's that bad.
24:38
>> Quinn: He's hurting your children.
24:40
>> Skylar: Well, we don't know he's hurting.
24:42
>> Quinn: He's still in children.
24:44
>> Skylar: That may be true.
24:45
>> Quinn: I'm gonna have. If I find him, I
24:48
will have to kill him.
24:49
>> Skylar: No. Well, hold on. Again, hold on.
24:52
I. Yeah, I don't. I don't think that's necess.
24:55
If you bring him home, I'm sure I can talk
24:58
some sense of doing it. You can help me talk some sense into him. You know, this
25:01
is.
25:01
>> Skylar: We're bringing him back.
25:03
>> Skylar: Feather. Is't. Isn't that what we wanted?
25:06
>> Quinn: No.
25:06
>> Skylar: To have me griddle back?
25:08
>> Quinn: No, no. You don't bring people back.
25:11
I've. I've got a lot to think
25:14
about. I'm sorry. I need to get going.
25:18
>> Skylar: Will you be back?
25:20
>> Quinn: I will be back, and I. I'm gonna have to
25:23
bring some back up.
25:24
>> Skylar: Just to get him and calmin him down and bring him
25:27
home?
25:28
>> Quinn: Yes.
25:29
>> Skylar: Okay.
25:29
>> Skylar: All right.
25:30
>> Quinn: Anything. Do you have anything that'll help, attract
25:33
him to me or anything that you.
25:37
>> Skylar: He was lying.
25:40
>> Quinn: You have any. Did you do anything
25:43
special with a doll that the doll would
25:46
be?
25:47
>> Skylar: let's see. This is.
25:49
I had to make up a weird star shaped symbol
25:53
on the crown. And then I laid the doll on it.
25:56
And then. And then I had to, like, candles and put those
25:59
around the star and the.
26:00
>> Quinn: Hey, wait, how many candles?
26:03
>> Skylar: I think it was six.
26:05
>> Quinn: Least. At least it wasn't seven because it was
26:08
seven.
26:09
>> Skylar: Might have been seven. Oh, I only did it once, and then
26:12
it worked so I didn't have to. I mean, you know, you. You learn it, and
26:15
then you get really excited, and it kind of just leaves your brain because, you know,
26:18
o I did it. I'll never have to do this. I mean, whse am m I gonna bring back?
26:21
>> Quinn: You're. You're not gonna bring back your wife, are you?
26:28
>> Skylar: That old?
26:30
I just want my son, Dec. That's all I
26:33
care about.
26:34
>> Cameron: Yeah, we've got wi fi. All right. Wi fi
26:37
hate.
26:42
>> Skylar: Anyway. Good one.
26:48
>> Quinn: Well, here's the deal. I'm.
26:51
I. I can get
26:54
some friends here, but they're not gonna want. And
26:57
I can get you mc. Good. We can find them,
26:59
guaranteed. We can bring them back here,
27:02
but they're not gonna do it for free. You know I
27:05
will. I wouldn't request payment, but
27:08
group I'm with. If we're gonna take their time and we're gonna need their
27:11
help, they aren't gonna do it for free.
27:13
>> Skylar: Oh, well, I mean, all things considered, if you bring the kids
27:16
back, I know there's a lot of, the wanted posters.
27:19
There's rewards.
27:20
>> Quinn: They're gonna want something from you, too, ca. Becausee they don't know you like
27:23
I know you.
27:25
>> Skylar: What does that mean?
27:26
>> Quinn: They're gonna. They're gonna want payment for the help,
27:29
and I can't do this on my own. I don't have time. Nor
27:32
will I.
27:33
>> Skylar: All right. I'm sure I can break up a few
27:36
dollars.
27:37
>> Quinn: They're gonna. They're gonna want 50 gold each, at
27:40
least.
27:41
>> Skylar: All right. I think I could do that.
27:43
>> Quinn: All right. I will be back.
27:46
>> Skylar: All right. I look forward to seeing you again. And I'll, try
27:48
to keep an eye on the children of the neighborhood and make
27:51
sure that nothing bad happens to them, hopefully.
27:54
>> Quinn: All right, we'll be back within the day.
27:57
>> Skylar: Oh, speaking of which, if you do need to try to
28:00
look around and get any information. I'm sure you know any
28:03
of the children's parents could probably give you some
28:06
details. Maybe the guards in the area.
28:08
oh, Elien. the street urchin. You
28:11
remember him?
28:12
>> Quinn: vaguely.
28:13
>> Skylar: Oh, yes, I think he might know, maybe even
28:16
the other shop owners. Although I'd be careful with them because
28:19
they do not like me right now. That is for
28:21
sure. See?
28:22
>> Quinn: How many people have you told about this?
28:24
>> Skylar: Oh, I didn't tell anybody about this. They just claimed,
28:27
that I do some weird, in their words,
28:30
weird stuff.
28:31
>> Quinn: Are they wrong?
28:34
>> Skylar: I could see how some people might think it's weird.
28:36
oh, oh, Sister Serena
28:39
at the priest, at the priestess at the church. She
28:42
might know a thing or two. I'm not sure. But
28:45
anyway, just, you know, just to help you. Maybe they might know
28:48
where to look.
28:49
>> Quinn: I've got've. I've. I've got a better
28:52
idea. I don't. I don't need any of them. I'll find out where he's
28:55
at. I'GOT to go. I've got to go.
28:57
>> Skylar: Okay, well, thank you for stopping by. I really appreciate
29:00
talking with you.
29:01
>> Quinn: Would you again, would you say a days passed
29:04
since we last used the rock? No,
29:07
no, it's the same day.
29:09
>> Skylar: It's the same day.
29:09
>> Quinn: Okay, well, I mean, the next day I'm just gonna ask it. O
29:13
where McGriddle is, where he's
29:15
whereide, where his hideout isn, and t
29:18
where he's keeping the kids if we can't find him. But I'm gonna
29:21
head back. I'm probably gonna be about an hour late to the burd place.
29:24
>> Dave: Okay.
29:24
>> Cameron: I do have a game.
29:26
>> Quinn: Half hour to an hour.
29:28
>> Cameron: Mechanics question.
29:29
>> Skylar: Sure.
29:30
>> Cameron: all of these beings in this pocket
29:32
dimension were created, right?
29:35
>> Skylar: Yeah.
29:35
>> Cameron: Are they constructs, the people
29:38
here?
29:39
>> Skylar: Yes, they are.
29:40
>> Skylar: Not.
29:40
>> Quinn: Not.
29:41
>> Cameron: But McGriddle, as of now, would be considered a
29:44
construct.
29:45
>> Skylar: Technically.
29:45
>> Skylar: Yes.
29:46
>> Cameron: Yes, that is my favorite enemy.
29:49
>> Skylar: So it'd be an interesting.
29:52
Like, I would argue it's a dual
29:55
type. So it'd be a construct
29:58
mixed with, in this case, like an undead.
30:01
>> Skylar: Right.
30:01
>> Skylar: So I guess undead construct. But I would absolutely say that it
30:04
qualifies for sure. So very cool.
30:07
>> Quinn: Awesome.
30:08
>> Skylar: all right, we'll cut over to you guys.
30:20
so you guys are kicked out of the art
30:23
studio, during your lesson. You guys still have
30:25
maybe about an hour before you need to go to the
30:28
burger place to meet up with Feather McGrick.
30:32
Is there anything else you all have
30:34
Planned or interest in?
30:37
>> Cameron: Is there anything interesting in this immediate
30:39
area?
30:40
>> Skylar: So I created, what is basically
30:43
a, posters and signs
30:45
generator. So basically, I will roll the dice. And I
30:48
have a variety of things in each district that
30:51
could possibly catch your attention, that
30:54
I think might. this would be a fun time to kind of integrate
30:57
that. So I will tell you what you see.
31:00
>> Skylar: O.
31:01
>> Dave: Interesting.
31:01
>> Quinn: All right.
31:01
>> Skylar: So you see a, poster, okay. It
31:04
shows a picture of a person on it, and it
31:07
reads noodle Wiggle. Because governance
31:10
should be fun. And, it is
31:13
promoting. It is promoting a
31:16
political figure who is running for the
31:19
position of king.
31:20
>> Cameron: What in that city kind of makes them not a king,
31:23
right?
31:23
>> Skylar: Normally.
31:24
>> Skylar: But there are some obscure circumstances that you may have to ask.
31:27
His name is Noodle Wiggle. His name is
31:30
Sir Percival Noodle Wiggle.
31:32
>> Cameron: Does it have his home address on the.
31:34
>> Quinn: It does not have his home address.
31:36
>> Skylar: On it, but it does say on the very bottom, paid
31:39
for by Noodle Wiggles. was's the
31:41
phrase Esquire?
31:44
No, no, it's a
31:47
campaign. Campaign. The Noodle Wiggle. I was
31:49
far off. Off.
31:52
>> Cameron: Des points to the poster, looks at everyone else
31:55
in, With his fingers. Rubs. Rubs his fingers
31:58
together to be like money.
32:02
>> Skylar: there's other,
32:03
>> Dave: You wantn to support the local candidates?
32:06
>> Skylar: No.
32:09
>> Dave: I t know you were into politics. I like
32:12
this guy. His name's funny.
32:13
>> Skylar: Yeah. Des is a big Noodle Wiggle fan.
32:16
>> Skylar: O.
32:16
>> Dave: Aren't we all?
32:18
>> Skylar: there are other signs
32:22
if you do want to look at other signs.
32:23
>> Quinn: Yeah, sure.
32:24
>> Dave: What's the one? Right?
32:25
>> Skylar: What is this?
32:26
>> Dave: Is there a picture of Noodle Wiggle?
32:28
>> Skylar: Yes. Oh, thisle w
32:31
look like he is, very
32:34
posh. He has a very broad chest. Actually,
32:37
I don't know if I even wrote down races for these.
32:40
which is a bummer because
32:43
I have to make it up on the spot. He is a gnome
32:46
bo.
32:47
>> Cameron: And not a good with a very.
32:49
>> Skylar: Broad set of shoulders. But he wears a very fine
32:52
robe on his, person. And he has, very,
32:55
nice somewhat long hair,
32:58
Black hair. Well, I mean, it's all black and white.
33:00
>> Cameron: Because it's a s poster.
33:02
>> Skylar: Yeah, Poster draw thing.
33:06
He looks veryal.
33:08
>> Dave: H That looks like the kind of guy who cheat on his
33:11
wife
33:14
and write him down. We're gonna ask him about him
33:17
tomorrow, right? I wrote him in my black book here.
33:21
>> Cameron: It says death note.
33:24
>> Skylar: What's the poster next to it say? The whole thing is
33:27
just scribbled all over as if it was written on by A
33:30
madman. And it just reads wake
33:32
up. And then under in like small
33:35
letters that are barely, like, readable.
33:38
It's says, says to get the truth,
33:41
meet us at and it has like an

34:01
meeting, I guess.
34:02
>> Skylar: these are the only two posters on this
34:05
particular, beam. But. But there are other
34:07
walls and things where posters could easily be found
34:10
if you walk a block or so.
34:14
>> Dave: I mean, another idea is
34:16
we just go get some burgers now
34:21
and eat
34:24
and get catch sh Meat

35:06
wander a little bit because you don't have feather, around to kind of
35:09
help you out. But you talk to a couple people along the way or you
35:12
follow some signage and eventually you find the
35:14
Burger Beast restaurant. which is
35:17
actually right next to a tavern
35:20
called Ooze and Booze. But whatever the case,
35:23
you go into Burger Beasts. it's coming up
35:26
on 5:00. It hasn't gotten like, super bustling yet, but there are
35:29
definitely some people starting to come in. maybe some people that get off
35:32
work a little early in the day and they're coming in to get
35:35
some burgers or whatever else at
35:38
the sort of, person standing
35:40

35:43
flayer, strangely enough. and he says,
35:46
##idst. His tentacles.

>> Skylar: And he picks up five, menus and he
36:13
grabs five sets of silverware and he leads you guys over to
36:16
a table. It's got six seats technically, but,
36:19
you know, for five, for a group of five, it'll work.
36:21

36:24
>> Skylar: And he sets the Menus down.
36:25
>> Skylar: And he says, you'wait here, is.

36:47
bo playerswh. Big hulking
36:50
dudes wanted to beat each other up maybe. As you
36:53
look towards the kitchen, you see a
36:56
just kind of, just underneath. You know how it's kind of like a big window or
36:59
whatever. You can see inside this big
37:01
burly, massive beast of a figure
37:04
that seems to have a white apron on, but you can't really see
37:07
his. You can kind of just like see right into his
37:10
pecs. he's shirtless, but he has the apron
37:12
on. he looks quite hairy. he's
37:15
moving about the kitchen. He's flipping burgers and whatnot. Like I
37:18
said, you can't quite see his face, but he seems like he might
37:21
know something about, that
37:24
side of things.
37:25
>> Quinn: I guess we just sit and wait for, the waiter.
37:27
>> Cameron: I'm gonna eat a burger.

42:53
where the kitchen is.
42:54
>> Quinn: O. Have I got a story to tell you guys.
42:57
>> Dave: Yeah. What happened?
42:58
>> Quinn: All right. So you know how I mentioned my
43:01
friend McGriddle?
43:03
>> Dave: Yeah, I remember that name.
43:06
>> Quinn: Yeah. He's really dead.
43:07
>> Cameron: You said as. No, he uses that fe
43:10
on his throat.
43:11
>> Quinn: About that.
43:12
>> Dave: I'll drink to that.
43:13
>> Quinn: Yeah, I went saw. I went and saw the boss
43:16
and I quit. You guys know this?
43:19
Did we? No.
43:21
>> Skylar: O.
43:21
>> Quinn: Well, you know, I ended up quitting. I
43:24
quit the job. He. He made a comment about McGriddle's
43:27
death and couldn't handle it'the.
43:30
>> Dave: Same guy you wanted us to rob of all of his
43:32
antiquities?
43:35
>> Quinn: Coincidentally. Maybe you.
43:37
>> Skylar: Yes.
43:37
>> Dave: that lines up, I guess.
43:39
>> Quinn: Anyways, his message. He told
43:42
me that mcurdle's father wanteded me to go see
43:44
him. So that's where. While you were, you know,
43:48
painting. If that's what you call it.
43:51
>> Dave: Oh, it was art. The guy said.
43:53
>> Skylar: Sell millions.
43:54
>> Quinn: I went. I went and I saw his dad
43:57
and he's. He's done
44:00
something horrible. He says
44:03
he did this ritual. He took
44:05
McRidle's soul and put it
44:08
in one of his. He's famous. Or
44:11
for making these puppets. So I've always thought there. Very creep. Very, very
44:14
ugly, Very creepy, anatomically correct
44:17
puppets. My.
44:20
He says he's put McGriddle's soul into.
44:23
>> Cameron: The puppet with that, like one
44:26
phrase. Des, just up
44:31
like you can smell the construct.
44:36
>> Dave: Cool.
44:40
>> Quinn: He's saying that. Stop.
44:43
>> Dave: What are the details of his ritual?
44:47
>> Quinn: He's saying that everything was fine the first couple
44:50
days. He made pancakes. Couldn't eat him. That's fine.
44:53
He's a Pupp.
44:53
>> Dave: Everyone loves pancake.
44:55
>> Quinn: He can. And he says after that.
44:59
After that he's. He
45:01
started kidnapping children in the district.
45:05
And something. Something is very evil going
45:07
on that took him mass. I told you it was
45:10
crazy. He's offered 50 gold
45:13
each to help.
45:15
>> Dave: Him for each child.
45:18
>> Quinn: Well, how many kids did these guys.
45:21
Can we convince him to take more?
45:23
>> Dave: 'Stealing kids?
45:25
>> Skylar: No.
45:25
>> Dave: Steing steal more kids.
45:28
>> Skylar: More kids?
45:29
>> Quinn: No.
45:29
>> Skylar: No.
45:29
>> Quinn: You idiots.
45:31
>> Dave: Why'we keep stealing the same kid, returning the
45:34
same kid. You think they would catch
45:36
on?
45:37
>> Quinn: No. If we rescue these children, their parents
45:40
do have. I don't know
45:43
how much they're offering per child that we return, but each
45:46
child's parents are offering money. But
45:50
Gideon, McGriddle has offered 50 gold
45:53
pieces for the return of his son.
45:55
Now,
45:58
he can't be kept alive. But I promised him that we'd bring him back.
46:01
Aiveie. But I don't know
46:04
what, I don't know what to do from there. But we need to.
46:08
We need to. I ask you guys to come help me. We
46:11
have to find Mc girl now.
46:14
M. Mr. Mc Giddle Senior. Gideon
46:17
was telling me about all these people that might know where they're. Nowhere
46:20
where he's at but here in the next, you
46:23
know, eight to 10 hours here that we can ask the
46:26
rocker question. I figure we d just go the EAS way. We ask the
46:29
rock where he's at. Not Dwayne Johnson the Rock
46:32
here and.
46:34
>> Cameron: Just Wayne the Rock Johnson sit in an alleyway.
46:37
>> Dave: He's just sitting right next to us.
46:39
>> Quinn: He'sitting right next to us. Sorry, buddy.
46:42
Anyway, and then we find out. Where's that?
46:45
We find out where's that. We rescue the kids. We get the money for
46:48
those children. We get the money for McGriddle.
46:51
We may have to kill McDle. But you know what? We ain't gonna tell him that.
46:54
But I need you guys help
46:57
right now. Well, no, we can eat first. I haven't
46:59
even ordered. No, you did order.
47:02
>> Dave: I.
47:03
>> Quinn: You ordered appetite food. You ordered
47:05
appetr. I have no,
47:08
you can order. We can eat and then. Then we go. We
47:11
eat and then we go.
47:13
>> Dave: Go where? I heard there's a pretty cool mystery
47:16
mysterious club.
47:19
>> Quinn: It's six. Is he always like this?
47:22
Oh, wait.
47:24
>> Dave: We were talking about art before. you ever heard
47:26
of something called the temple
47:29
of the rising
47:32
Flame?
47:32
>> Quinn: The shrine. I do know a little bit about the shrine.
47:35
Everaxing flame.
47:37
>> Dave: The art guy told it's a.
47:39
>> Quinn: Campus with a large statue of the patroon
47:42
deity Ignatius. I never
47:45
knew exactly how to say it. the God of passion
47:48
and innovation encourage artists and
47:50
creativity within his followers.
47:53
it's a beautiful shrine. Primary temple
47:56
surrounded by cherry blossoms. The
47:59
statue surrounded by works of art. it's kind of offerings
48:02
of his followers.
48:03
>> Skylar: I just want to really applaud Quinn for reading
48:06
that. So well off of the thing that I gave
48:09
him, but making it sound like it was just his character
48:12
saying, well done, sir.
48:13
>> Quinn: I didn't want to just copy.
48:14
>> Skylar: No, that was good. That was impressive.
48:18
>> Quinn: So, yes, I have heard of it, and I do know lawyer
48:20
head. Funny you should ask.
48:24
>> Skylar: Wow.
48:26
>> Dave: If we're ever in the neighborhood, it might be worth checking
48:29
out.
48:29
>> Quinn: Well, first, this means a lot to
48:32
me. If you could help me with this MC Girl situation. Plus, there is money
48:35
involved.
48:38
>> Cameron: Des gives that, like, motion where he
48:41
just puts his fist in his hand.
48:43
>> Quinn: Ye.
48:43
>> Dave: I've never seen dead so focused here.
48:47
He wants to kill. He's
48:50
got it in his eyes. I've seen that
48:52
look before.
48:54
>> Quinn: We have to take him back.
48:55
>> Cameron: Right Stuff.
48:56
>> Skylar: That's true.
48:58
>> Cameron: That would make communicate so much easier.
49:00
>> Quinn: We have to bring McGriddle back alive.
49:04
>> Skylar: Can write.
49:05
>> Quinn: One of the lights that was off above his head turns
49:08
on.
49:10
>> Skylar: Sorry about that. The drow. He
49:13
stands readjusting the.
49:16
He starts setting your drinks down around the table,
49:19
which each of you had ordered.
49:22
>> Cameron: Des takes a napkin, and one of
49:24
his feathers pricks it in his arms. So it's got
49:27
a little bit of ink to it.
49:30
Well, red ink writes out good.
49:33
He writes out that, what Lil Sauce is
49:36
describing sounds a lot like a construct.
49:38
And something primal in my loins
49:41
is telling me to hunt it down.
49:44
>> Dave: Loins, you say? You.
49:47
You could have just borrowed my ink.
49:50
>> Skylar: I was gonna say, as you finish writing this, and you hold the little
49:53
napkin up for everybody at the table to read. The drow
49:55
is coming around, and he sees this, and he bends down, he says, you
49:58
know, I could get you some crayons.
50:03
And he, like, reaches in his pocket, and he pulls out one of those little
50:06
packets with two crayons. It's like a green crayon
50:09
and a red cray.
50:10
>> Cameron: I take that, and I'll put it in my pocket for later.
50:13
>> Quinn: O.
50:13
>> Skylar: Okay.
50:14
>> Cameron: I've done writing for now.
50:15
>> Skylar: But it was just. This is all I had.
50:19
>> Quinn: What.
50:19
>> Dave: What it say?
50:21
>> Skylar: Oh, yeah, that's right. You discovered
50:24
that you could communicate by writing, but there's one person

>> Skylar: Those ingredients that you used to call kind of your secret ingredients,
54:59
and it tastes like he just kind of threw those in. but
55:02
he has no idea how they're supposed to work. So he's basically just trying to
55:05
take your secret stuff, add it to his stuff, and assumed it
55:08
would be good, and it's not.
55:10
>> Quinn: Take a cup of fries.

amongst yourselves, what do you guys expect to be
56:41
your next steps as you guys

56:49
that feather McGregor has brought before you. Involving
56:52
Gideon McGriddle. you do have that
56:55
poster should you choose to take the what
56:58
looked like the drawings and scribblings of a madman
57:01
expecting you to be someplace at someime around
57:03
sixock seven. There's of course the
57:06
church that had been discussed before where
57:09
Father our Padre,
57:11
resides that Quinn said might have some connections on
57:14
how you can move your horse sen hopefully fence
57:17
it or sell it in some way shape or form.
57:20
>> Cameron: And then we drab a noodle wiggle.
57:23
>> Skylar: Or there's a noodle wiggle or we can join the thieves
57:26
guill or figure out how to join the thieves get
57:29
these are all possibilities. Is there anything that you feel
57:32
is pressing that you might want to kind of focus on doing
57:35
first?
57:37
>> Dave: helping.
57:41
