  Uh.
• 0:03
  Jasmine oolong, green
• 0:06
  and white. Long ago, these four
• 0:08
  teas were skilfully brewed at the Blissful Brew.
• 0:12
  Then everything changed when the shop's
• 0:14
  popularity threatened its existence.
• 0:17
  All Mr. Okeron, the shop's owner and tea
• 0:20
  master, could do was to recruit four teenage
• 0:23
  orphans to learn his trade and staff his
• 0:25
  shop. A year has passed since the orphans were
• 0:28
  hired, and although their skills have progressed, they
• 0:31
  still have a lot to learn before they can brew anything.
• 0:34
  But I believe that they have the potential to make the
• 0:37
  Blissful Brew the greatest tea shop in the
• 0:39
  world.
• 0:42
  And welcome back to another episode of
• 0:44
  Benders and Brews, the Avatar Legends Real Play
• 0:47
  podcast, where we really play
• 0:50
  Avatar Legends play the heck out of
• 0:53
  it. Um, welcome back to episode
• 0:55
  two of season two. Really excited to be here,
• 0:58
  of course, again. Hope you all listen to the prequel
• 1:01
  episodes as well as the season two,
• 1:04
  episode zero, and of course episode one. Otherwise you have no idea
• 1:07
  what is about to happen. So, um,
• 1:10
  anyways, we're going to jump right into things as
• 1:12
  we've decided is going to be kind of our pattern for
• 1:15
  this season. Our little ritual, our tradition,
• 1:18
  you might say. I'm going to go around the table that's
• 1:21
  in front of me with all these wonderful players sitting
• 1:24
  here, uh, and ask each of them to give me an interesting
• 1:27
  fact about their character. So let's
• 1:30
  kick things off with, uh, Connor
• 1:33
  again.
• 1:33
  Hello. Hey, how you doing?
• 1:36
  Good, how are you?
• 1:37
  I'm doing well. No one really asked the DM
• 1:40
  how.
• 1:40
  He'S oh, yeah, I wanted to just start off with that.
• 1:43
  I appreciate. Course. Of course.
• 1:45
  Uh, so fun fact about Brock Broccoli,
• 1:49
  uh, at times if he's like just walking around getting
• 1:51
  feeling bored and he wants know just be a guy
• 1:54
  throw stuff, what he'll do? He'll spit
• 1:57
  on the ground to make some mud.
• 2:00
  He'll earth bend the mud up into his fingers,
• 2:03
  roll it into a ball and just flick it. And he'll stick
• 2:06
  to trees.
• 2:09
  Well, NPCs are going to think twice about shaking
• 2:12
  Brock's dirty hands from now on.
• 2:15
  I mean, he washes them when he washes dishes.
• 2:18
  Oh, that's true.
• 2:21
  Dishwater is like instantly dirty. Not
• 2:24
  from the dishes themselves, but just Brock puts his hands in there to
• 2:27
  clean them and it's like black.
• 2:30
  Um know it is what it
• 2:33
  is.
• 2:33
  Mr. O'Brien's. Like why did I put an earthbender on dish
• 2:36
  duty? Well, didn't you? You did the
• 2:39
  rinsing. Michaela right, mika and then and then
• 2:42
  you just did the drying, which means the dry. You ruined
• 2:45
  everything at the she cleans it,
• 2:48
  hands it to you, your dirty hands. And
• 2:50
  smudged clean washcloth.
• 2:52
  I mean, no one
• 2:55
  dies.
• 2:56
  We're, uh, all like no one gets sick. Mr. Okran, you
• 2:59
  chose such a strange color for your clean dishes.
• 3:02
  Brown. Oh,
• 3:05
  boy. All right, moving on. Dave,
• 3:08
  tell us something interesting about GuoHan.
• 3:11
  Well, GuoHan, when he's
• 3:14
  bored and wants to feel like a man.
• 3:18
  He enjoys going
• 3:21
  to
• 3:24
  romantic, uh, comedies at the theater.
• 3:28
  Gohan m the live action
• 3:31
  theater.
• 3:32
  Yes.
• 3:32
  Sometimes he just sneaks in. Sometimes he'll pay
• 3:35
  for the ticket, depending on how much he wants to see
• 3:38
  the he doesn't if his
• 3:41
  favorite actor is there. Actress
• 3:43
  rather, he'll pay to get in.
• 3:45
  To see, uh, what's his favorite
• 3:48
  actress's name?
• 3:50
  Fatima quick.
• 3:52
  Fatima quick.
• 3:53
  Wow.
• 3:54
  All right, I got to write that down. That's going to come into play at some
• 3:57
  point. Once you guys get back to
• 4:00
  Galway. Guess who? Fatima quick's. Like,
• 4:02
  hey, heard about your tea shop.
• 4:06
  Uh, okay. Bill door or Cameron
• 4:09
  with playing. Huh. What's? What's?
• 4:12
  Something interesting.
• 4:16
  Interesting.
• 4:17
  So how long has it been
• 4:20
  since that just
• 4:23
  happened? Yeah, it's very recent.
• 4:29
  Uh, in his free time well, prior
• 4:32
  to everything that's happened, uh, Villa would
• 4:35
  spend some free time, uh, and he would go
• 4:38
  out to, uh,
• 4:41
  the town square, the center,
• 4:44
  and there was this resting bench
• 4:47
  area, and bill door
• 4:50
  would.
• 4:50
  Go and go sit on it and get resting bench face.
• 4:53
  Yeah, he'd sit on it,
• 4:56
  and.
• 4:59
  He.
• 5:00
  Would take out his notes, and he would
• 5:03
  take notes on all the people that would just be passing
• 5:06
  by, and he would just people watch.
• 5:08
  Okay.
• 5:09
  In his free time? Not all the time, but he would just
• 5:12
  do that occasionally and stuff.
• 5:14
  Okay.
• 5:14
  And he found great interest in just watching
• 5:17
  people's lives go around him and stuff. And
• 5:20
  mostly he paid attention to the families
• 5:23
  and see how they interacted and stuff.
• 5:25
  So maybe like, a sense of almost
• 5:27
  jealousy.
• 5:29
  Yeah, that'd be a good word for
• 5:32
  right.
• 5:33
  All right, some deep facts coming from bill
• 5:35
  dore. Uh, Michaela,
• 5:38
  tell us something interesting about Mika.
• 5:41
  Well, um,
• 5:44
  mika and her dad, to pass a time,
• 5:47
  sometimes they would throw on little
• 5:49
  skits, um,
• 5:52
  play, uh, different characters,
• 5:55
  make believe, I don't know, whatever you want to call it.
• 5:57
  So every once in a while, she'll pull out her acting
• 6:00
  skills and do a couple of cons.
• 6:05
  Um, a couple of what?
• 6:06
  Cons.
• 6:07
  Like theft.
• 6:08
  Like, she'll con people.
• 6:10
  Okay. All right.
• 6:11
  I thought you were saying cons. Like romantic comedies. She's
• 6:14
  throwing a couple of she's throwing on a
• 6:16
  mask.
• 6:19
  Yeah.
• 6:20
  Mika is oh, my gosh. What was her name?
• 6:23
  Something?
• 6:25
  Oh, my gosh.
• 6:26
  It's her, like, alter ego.
• 6:29
  Oh, my gosh.
• 6:32
  And within two fun
• 6:35
  facts, we've created and found,
• 6:37
  like, a character all at once. How
• 6:40
  interesting. Uh, I'm Skyler. I'm the
• 6:43
  DM. Interesting fact
• 6:46
  about me I once held
• 6:49
  a cow's head down so that a person
• 6:51
  could give it a massive needle
• 6:54
  in its neck. It was not pleasant.
• 6:57
  Uh, that was a fun fact about me. Awesome.
• 7:00
  And yeah.
• 7:04
  No further questions on that. Let's move into the
• 7:07
  episode.
• 7:12
  All right, and welcome back to Benderson brews,
• 7:15
  season two, episode two. The two two.
• 7:18
  One might say thank you. Yes.
• 7:20
  An earth spirit.
• 7:21
  Yes, we got ourselves an earth
• 7:24
  spirit.
• 7:26
  Uh.
• 7:30
  Oh, he's scared.
• 7:34
  Old Rooney starts making some crazy
• 7:37
  noises as this giant rock like
• 7:39
  monster is plowing through this area.
• 7:43
  Once again, as described
• 7:46
  on the previous episode, it has, uh, two
• 7:49
  arms and two legs. Kind of humanoid in shape to some
• 7:52
  extent, but it's more like just a collection of
• 7:55
  chunks of rock and boulders all just kind of
• 7:57
  sticking together by some unknown,
• 8:00
  mysterious spirit force as it starts
• 8:03
  to just smash, smash, smash through this
• 8:06
  construction zone, obviously angry for some
• 8:09
  reason. And you all stand on a precipice
• 8:12
  overlooking this scene as these workers
• 8:15
  are shouting in terror as this monster
• 8:18
  continues to approach and attack them.
• 8:21
  We got to help them.
• 8:23
  Uh, where'd Dilbert go?
• 8:27
  Uh, were you carrying him?
• 8:32
  He's in a box.
• 8:33
  Yeah, he was running ahead.
• 8:35
  I thought that was a joke. Okay. Yeah.
• 8:39
  I caught back up to Dilbert, and
• 8:41
  I sling him on my back like a backpack.
• 8:44
  He's definitely getting bigger at this point. I
• 8:47
  imagined him, like, 2ft high, and
• 8:50
  I feel like at this point, he's gotten to, like, a
• 8:52
  3ft squid
• 8:54
  span.
• 8:56
  He's a growing boy.
• 8:57
  He's a growing boy.
• 8:59
  Uh, I'll hop down and try and help the
• 9:02
  construction workers.
• 9:03
  All right, sounds good.
• 9:06
  Is anyone else going down to help them, or are you guys going to continue
• 9:09
  to observe? Because evadem
• 9:12
  observe is an option.
• 9:15
  That's not Brock's style. Brock's not an
• 9:17
  observe type of guy.
• 9:19
  Um, so something that I was kind of reading about, uh, that
• 9:22
  I kind of want to put out there to you guys before we get
• 9:25
  too much further. Um, your balance,
• 9:29
  if you can make the argument for it,
• 9:31
  whatever direction your balance is leaning,
• 9:34
  you could theoretically use that
• 9:37
  instead of what you would normally roll to do
• 9:40
  something as long as it fits
• 9:42
  with that balance. So, for instance,
• 9:45
  um, Connor yours,
• 9:48
  and I don't know if you guys would necessarily know this about him, so just
• 9:51
  keep that in mind going forward. You might have to try to
• 9:54
  test his balance. You might have to try to figure it out or whatever the
• 9:57
  case. Uh, but yours is force and care. So
• 10:00
  if your balance was towards force,
• 10:03
  you would have that plus one. Minus one. So that plus
• 10:05
  one is to say if you were to do an action
• 10:08
  that would insinuate
• 10:11
  force, you would gain a plus one on your dice
• 10:13
  rolls. And then if you were doing something that
• 10:16
  insinuated care, you'd have a minus one and then vice
• 10:19
  versa if it was moving towards care. Um,
• 10:22
  so just keep that in mind moving
• 10:25
  forward. If you can make the argument for it
• 10:28
  and say the stat that you would normally roll
• 10:30
  has, like, a zero or a minus to it or whatever the
• 10:33
  case, if you're doing something that
• 10:36
  fits the narrative for that side
• 10:39
  of your balance track, you could use that instead
• 10:41
  to roll. So just something that I kind of was reading about today.
• 10:45
  Okay. But anyways all right, sorry. So
• 10:47
  you guys are all kind of up there observing the situation.
• 10:51
  Connor, you're leaping down or sorry, Broccoli is
• 10:54
  leaping down to assist in these workers.
• 10:56
  Uh, I'm going to call this an exchange as
• 10:59
  this monster is kind of attacking. Unless you would want to do something
• 11:02
  outside of it. I guess technically you're not directly within
• 11:05
  an exchange of it at the moment. It's still attacking the
• 11:08
  workers. So I guess if you wanted to do something else,
• 11:13
  you're not engaging with it just yet.
• 11:16
  So do you want to do something as the initial engagement before
• 11:19
  we go into kind of like a combat exchange?
• 11:26
  You don't even have to find a staff for it if there's just something
• 11:29
  specific that you want to try to do, and then I'll find the staff for
• 11:32
  it or whatever.
• 11:33
  Um, let's see.
• 11:37
  I mean, I just said he doesn't evade and observe, so
• 11:40
  I can't double back on
• 11:43
  that.
• 11:45
  I'd say you could still evade and observe. I mean, like I said, you haven't
• 11:48
  engaged with it yet, so you don't even have to choose a
• 11:50
  combat approach per se.
• 11:52
  Okay.
• 11:53
  You could just do anything right now, I
• 11:55
  guess, because you just leaped down. You're in the scene, you're
• 11:58
  standing there. Some of the dust, uh,
• 12:01
  cloud has kind of, like, overtaken you. You cough a little bit as you
• 12:04
  wave a little bit out of your face. But, um, it's definitely
• 12:07
  getting stirred up from this whole situation that's
• 12:10
  going on. Okay.
• 12:12
  So I guess as I get down there, I'll try and
• 12:15
  help as many of the people that the Earth
• 12:18
  spirit is not attacking, help them to just get out of the
• 12:21
  way, get to some sort of safe area. Sure.
• 12:24
  Yeah, absolutely.
• 12:24
  There's definitely plenty of them that have been injured, um,
• 12:28
  and you kind of help pull them
• 12:31
  out of there or whatever the case. Um, I would argue
• 12:33
  honestly that doing this would actually
• 12:36
  move your balance towards care,
• 12:40
  um, because rather than
• 12:42
  engaging since yours is force and care, rather than engaging
• 12:45
  with just, like, jumping in and starting bashing with this
• 12:48
  monster, you're trying to get people out of the situation.
• 12:51
  And so, um, I would definitely say
• 12:53
  that applies. Is anybody else, as you
• 12:56
  guys are watching this happen, anybody else doing anything?
• 12:59
  I'm just watching.
• 13:01
  Okay. Nick is just watching. Bill's just watching.
• 13:04
  Same here.
• 13:04
  All right.
• 13:05
  Um, Guohan's going to just
• 13:08
  move to safe cover,
• 13:10
  make sure there's nothing above him that's going to
• 13:14
  ruin him.
• 13:15
  Okay. Rooney is just
• 13:18
  standing over you and his outward
• 13:21
  section, half of his body just hangs over you're like, oh, it
• 13:24
  got shady right here as you look up and
• 13:27
  he's, like, smiling over you. No, um, but okay. Yeah, I mean,
• 13:30
  you guys are on the kind of top section of this
• 13:33
  overlook, so there's definitely nothing, like, above you as far as the
• 13:36
  mountain goes or anything. Um, you're kind of the
• 13:39
  ones looking down on this whole scene.
• 13:41
  Perfect.
• 13:42
  Yeah. All right.
• 13:44
  Perfect. Um, so back over to Connor. Connor, you've
• 13:47
  pulled some people out of the way, um, gotten them kind of a safe
• 13:50
  distance away. There's still maybe, like, three workers that
• 13:53
  are battling this thing actively. Uh, they're
• 13:56
  not currently injured, but they're obviously in
• 13:59
  the fight. What would you like to do next?
• 14:02
  So it's just me.
• 14:04
  Just you down there?
• 14:07
  Well, and the three workers.
• 14:09
  I guess I'd have to just go and help the three workers
• 14:12
  as well.
• 14:12
  All right.
• 14:13
  I mean, I can't just leave them hanging.
• 14:14
  Are you doing anything specific, or are you just kind of rushing into
• 14:18
  the fight?
• 14:19
  I'll start with, uh, seize a position
• 14:22
  on the defendant maneuver.
• 14:24
  Okay.
• 14:24
  To move to a new location. I guess I would
• 14:27
  engage with the foe.
• 14:28
  Um.
• 14:30
  Uh, any foe engaged with me. Marks Kim
• 14:33
  mark one fatigue to block this, but I don't know
• 14:36
  why.
• 14:37
  Right. No. Yeah. Okay. So
• 14:39
  you're rushing in, and then you're going to choose defend a maneuver. So you'll
• 14:42
  be rolling for that to.
• 14:44
  Establish an advantageous position.
• 14:47
  Yes. And you'll be rolling with focus.
• 14:50
  Rolling with focus.
• 14:52
  Okay.
• 14:55
  Seven.
• 14:55
  Seven. All right, cool. So, uh, with a seven, you're
• 14:58
  able to choose
• 15:01
  one basic or master technique. Um,
• 15:04
  so you were doing defendant maneuver, and you were going to do Caesar
• 15:07
  position. Uh, so you're going to rush in. You're going
• 15:10
  to establish this advantageous position.
• 15:13
  Um, it will not mark one fatigue
• 15:16
  because you're kind of like a new person just running into this. Do you have
• 15:19
  a specific spot that you want to kind of set up at,
• 15:22
  um, for whatever your next move might be?
• 15:24
  Are there any particular weak points that I am able
• 15:27
  to see, or is there anything
• 15:31
  or is that something that I'm not allowed to just sort of learn from you?
• 15:34
  I sort of watch them. Um, yeah, I was going
• 15:37
  to say this sounds definitely like it'd be,
• 15:40
  um, assess the situation.
• 15:42
  Assess the situation.
• 15:43
  Yeah.
• 15:43
  Oh, I probably should have done that first.
• 15:45
  No, it's all good. I mean, you've established yourself at
• 15:48
  kind of an advantageous situation,
• 15:51
  and you can jump in and out of, like,
• 15:53
  combat exchanges. Since all he would have done
• 15:56
  is probably he's, uh, continuing
• 15:59
  to smash. So he's just smashing the
• 16:02
  ground around him, trying to hit the people,
• 16:05
  um, but kind of almost doing so blindly. So I
• 16:08
  wouldn't necessarily call it a strike at the moment.
• 16:11
  Um, he's mostly just swinging wildly and destroying the
• 16:14
  area around him.
• 16:15
  Okay, so then I will roll to assess the situation.
• 16:18
  Okay.
• 16:18
  Go for learn any weaknesses? I roll with creativity.
• 16:21
  Yes.
• 16:22
  Uh, twelve.
• 16:23
  Wow.
• 16:24
  Okay. So on a twelve, you can ask
• 16:27
  two of the various questions that are listed there. Uh,
• 16:30
  what here can I use to blink? Who or what is the biggest
• 16:32
  threat? What should I be on the lookout
• 16:35
  for? What is my best way out in or through or who
• 16:38
  or what is in the greatest danger.
• 16:40
  All right, so I will ask what is my best way
• 16:43
  in? As in, like, into this fight square?
• 16:45
  Yeah.
• 16:47
  Um, the creature
• 16:50
  definitely seems to be
• 16:53
  focused on the
• 16:55
  things, so you can kind of tell there's,
• 16:58
  like, a direction to its movements. So
• 17:01
  that suggests that it has a front, and that's where it's attacking
• 17:04
  at. Um, and it has a back, and it doesn't
• 17:07
  seem to be aware. Even though it doesn't have, like, a head and
• 17:10
  eyes, it doesn't seem to be aware of what's behind it.
• 17:13
  So if you were able to get behind it, you'd probably
• 17:16
  be in a better position, um,
• 17:18
  to do some kind of attack without it being able to retaliate
• 17:21
  as well. Okay.
• 17:22
  Yeah, I guess. What can I use to inflict the most
• 17:25
  damage?
• 17:26
  Okay, um, something about that
• 17:29
  gem that's sitting kind of almost on top of where
• 17:32
  its head would be seems significant
• 17:34
  to you? Um, the fact that
• 17:37
  it's so contrasted and so different from the rest of its
• 17:40
  just rock body, it really feels like that
• 17:43
  holds some sort of significance over
• 17:46
  this creature or spirit or whatever it seems to
• 17:48
  be.
• 17:49
  Okay, so do I have to
• 17:52
  reroll to move to the advantageous position?
• 17:54
  I would say that you assessed this
• 17:56
  as you were running and, um, got behind it as
• 17:59
  you noticed that. Oh, it's got kind of like a weak spot, per
• 18:02
  se. And there's definitely plenty of outcropping
• 18:05
  rocks and such that you could have hid behind to get back
• 18:08
  there.
• 18:09
  Okay, so how big is this thing?
• 18:11
  Oh, man, I mean, it's a good, like, 10ft
• 18:14
  tall.
• 18:14
  Okay, so what I'm going to try and do is I'm going to try and
• 18:17
  climb up some piles of rocks behind it.
• 18:20
  I'm going to try and jump on top of it, and,
• 18:23
  uh, I will try and strike
• 18:26
  the gem, and I will try and dislodge
• 18:29
  it.
• 18:29
  Okay. Um, I'm almost
• 18:32
  wondering if that might be two separate moves. So you would do
• 18:35
  one to seize another position, and then that would
• 18:38
  get you on top of it, and then you could do strike afterwards, or at
• 18:41
  least attempt to do strike afterwards.
• 18:43
  Okay, so roll for seized
• 18:45
  position.
• 18:48
  Ten.
• 18:49
  Wow. Okay, so with a ten hot
• 18:51
  rolls.
• 18:54
  You'Re doing the math wrong.
• 18:55
  Uh, you can mark one fatigue to use a learn
• 18:58
  technique. You can use one practice technique, or you can use two
• 19:01
  basic or master techniques. So since you
• 19:04
  chose defend a maneuver, you have the option to do two
• 19:07
  different, uh, uh, options within
• 19:10
  that, I suppose.
• 19:11
  So I will seize position.
• 19:12
  Okay. Yes. So you use that to get yourself on top
• 19:15
  of this rock monster. Um, it definitely takes
• 19:18
  notice that you're there. Like, it can feel you on it. And
• 19:21
  so it kind of, like, is confused. It's moving around, but
• 19:24
  you've managed to land on it in such a way that you get a nice, stable
• 19:27
  position. It's a big creature, so it's definitely
• 19:30
  enough of a platform for you to steady yourself on.
• 19:32
  Plus the fact that you're an Earthbender, you can kind of
• 19:35
  probably hold onto rocks a little bit better by using a little bit of Earth
• 19:38
  bending technique.
• 19:39
  Yeah. So what kind of
• 19:42
  statuses would I be able to inflict
• 19:45
  on this beast?
• 19:48
  Yeah, so there's a list of negative statuses, um,
• 19:51
  doomed, impaired, trapped, or
• 19:54
  stunned.
• 19:54
  Okay, so then I will
• 19:57
  use ready okay. Mark one fatigue to ready
• 20:00
  yourself or your environment, assigning or
• 20:02
  clearing a fictionally appropriate
• 20:05
  status of nearby characters.
• 20:09
  Did you want the positive statuses, too, or are you
• 20:12
  planning on putting a negative status on this thing?
• 20:15
  So it's either positive on myself or negative on this. Yeah,
• 20:18
  I mean, I wouldn't mind making it feel like
• 20:20
  it's doomed.
• 20:22
  Okay, so tell me what it is that you do to
• 20:25
  put it into a doomed situation.
• 20:27
  So I will get on top of this
• 20:30
  thing okay. And it's squirming around, trying to
• 20:33
  shake me off, has no idea
• 20:36
  what I am, where I am, what I'm trying to do.
• 20:38
  Right.
• 20:38
  And I'm just starting to wail away at the
• 20:41
  gem on top of its head or on top of its
• 20:44
  body. And I think
• 20:46
  what would qualify feeling doomed
• 20:49
  is if it starts to dislodge a bit.
• 20:51
  Oh, okay. You start to make some progress on
• 20:54
  pulling this gem out.
• 20:55
  Starts to make a bit of progress.
• 20:57
  Yeah, no, definitely. Okay, so it is, uh,
• 21:00
  under a sense of doom. Uh, doomed, basically, is
• 21:03
  saying that, uh, you're in
• 21:06
  grave danger. You mark one fatigue every few seconds in
• 21:09
  each exchange until you free yourself. So
• 21:11
  as you are pulling away at this
• 21:14
  gem on top of where its head would be, it's
• 21:17
  panicking, presumably. I mean, it's a rock, so
• 21:20
  it's kind of hard to tell, but you can get but by its flailing and stuff, you can
• 21:22
  tell that it's freaking out, it's nervous, and it's
• 21:25
  becoming less and less, you could
• 21:28
  almost say connected. You're actually watching as you're slowly
• 21:31
  pulling this gem out, you can see some of
• 21:34
  the chunks of rock actually falling from its
• 21:36
  body as it seems to be, uh, sort
• 21:39
  of losing its, let's call it,
• 21:42
  wholeness, per se. Um, so you've definitely
• 21:45
  got it doomed, per se. If it wasn't able to do
• 21:48
  anything against you to stop you, then it might
• 21:51
  fall apart entirely. Okay.
• 21:53
  Sounds like good for me.
• 21:56
  Awesome.
• 21:57
  Um, so do I get another turn,
• 22:00
  or is it the rock monster's turn?
• 22:02
  Uh, he would have
• 22:05
  advanced and attacked. Uh, he would have
• 22:07
  struck.
• 22:10
  This would have been after you got on or before you got on?
• 22:13
  Well, I guess after, actually. Yeah, he would have
• 22:15
  struck. Um,
• 22:18
  so strike a foe in reach, forcing them to mark
• 22:22
  two fatigue, mark a condition, or shift their balance away
• 22:24
  from center. Their choice. Um,
• 22:28
  he can mark one fatigue to instead choose to
• 22:30
  hammer you with blows, forcing them to mark two
• 22:33
  fatigue, or strike where they are weak inflicting a
• 22:36
  condition. Um, he's just going to do the base.
• 22:39
  So you have your option to mark two fatigue,
• 22:42
  mark a condition, or shift your balance away from the center.
• 22:45
  It's one of those three.
• 22:47
  Yeah. You get to choose.
• 22:48
  Uh, I'll shift balance away from the center.
• 22:50
  Okay. Which way are you going?
• 22:51
  I'll go back towards force.
• 22:53
  Towards force, yes. I think that makes sense since you're up
• 22:55
  there. Yeah. He's forcing you to
• 22:58
  kind of continue your attack against
• 23:01
  him as it flails about and you're just,
• 23:04
  like, trying to get this gem out
• 23:07
  from, uh, its.
• 23:08
  Rock doing down there.
• 23:09
  Yeah. The rest of you three are seeing him, like,
• 23:12
  riding cowboy on top of this rock monster.
• 23:16
  Did you guys want to do anything as
• 23:19
  you watch this scene?
• 23:20
  Um, I want to assess the situation.
• 23:23
  Okay.
• 23:24
  I think Brock's going to die.
• 23:29
  I'm going to die if you're going to
• 23:32
  die.
• 23:33
  I have one fatigue.
• 23:38
  Twelve.
• 23:39
  Wow. Okay, you guys are rolling high tonight.
• 23:42
  Fantastic. All right, dude. Uh,
• 23:45
  yeah, I suppose so. All right, so as you assess the
• 23:47
  situation, you have the ability to ask me two of those
• 23:50
  questions. Having rolled a twelve, do you have a
• 23:52
  preference on, uh, what that
• 23:55
  is? Also, real quick, Brock, I forgot to mention
• 23:58
  this. Um, you do have a plus one
• 24:00
  ongoing as well when
• 24:03
  you're acting on the answers of those situations.
• 24:06
  So you do something else after this. You'll have
• 24:09
  a plus one to your dice roll as long as you're acting on
• 24:11
  the answers to those questions, which the gem is, and I would assume
• 24:14
  that might be the direction you're going. Okay.
• 24:17
  Yeah.
• 24:17
  Um, Dave, you'll also have a plus one
• 24:20
  acting towards whatever it is that you're about to ask.
• 24:23
  Um,
• 24:26
  what here can I use to help
• 24:28
  Brock? And
• 24:32
  what's my best way?
• 24:36
  So what's my best way down the side of this
• 24:38
  mountain?
• 24:39
  Okay, so as an
• 24:42
  Earthbender, you have kind of the unique ability
• 24:45
  to kind of manipulate
• 24:48
  a pathway for yourself if you were to
• 24:50
  slide down or something along those lines. Um, you do
• 24:53
  see a fairly thin but
• 24:56
  flat rock that you almost wonder if you could sled
• 24:59
  down the side of this hill safely and
• 25:01
  quickly. Um, additionally, there are
• 25:04
  a number of sort of
• 25:07
  outcroppings of rock that if you wanted to, you might be
• 25:09
  and this is going to your other question.
• 25:13
  Um, break into chunks and using your Earth
• 25:15
  bending, maybe kick or throw towards the monster to give
• 25:18
  it a, uh,
• 25:22
  broccoli, a, ah, bit of a distraction
• 25:25
  while he tries to rip this gem out of its head.
• 25:28
  You can kind of see what he's trying to do and you wonder
• 25:30
  if maybe the best bet would have been ensure that the thing
• 25:33
  isn't directly attacking him from on its
• 25:36
  head or where the head would
• 25:38
  be.
• 25:40
  Um, okay.
• 25:42
  All right, perfect. Uh, we'll go
• 25:45
  into another round of, I assume, combat exchange.
• 25:48
  Yeah, if you're cool with that. All right, sounds good. And then, Dave, you're
• 25:51
  involved in it and everything. So if you have something
• 25:54
  that you would like to contribute as well, you
• 25:57
  have that opportunity. Although it
• 26:00
  doesn't necessarily have to be a
• 26:03
  combat technique, necessarily, if you didn't want
• 26:06
  it to be.
• 26:06
  So is this my turn or
• 26:09
  his turn?
• 26:10
  Uh, so both of you would decide
• 26:12
  simultaneously what you wanted to do. Again,
• 26:15
  um, technically, you could
• 26:18
  decide something outside of the
• 26:20
  techniques for combat, depending
• 26:23
  on where you are. You're pretty directly in
• 26:26
  contact with this, so it'd be kind of, like, a bit dangerous for you to
• 26:29
  do anything other than combat. To some extent.
• 26:31
  I will advance an attack.
• 26:33
  Okay.
• 26:35
  If he picks something else, does he get to go before
• 26:38
  me?
• 26:38
  Um, if he were to do defend a
• 26:41
  maneuver or, depending on narratively, what
• 26:44
  it is that he wants to do, it could go
• 26:47
  first. Yeah.
• 26:48
  Okay.
• 26:49
  I want to advance and attack.
• 26:51
  Okay, sounds good. So both of you are going to
• 26:54
  be advanced and attacking. Uh, it also is
• 26:57
  advanced and attacking. Um,
• 27:00
  you guys will go first. Does anyone have
• 27:03
  a preference?
• 27:04
  I can, um, go first, I
• 27:07
  guess.
• 27:08
  Does that work?
• 27:09
  Yeah.
• 27:10
  Okay, cool. Go ahead.
• 27:11
  I will roll for smash.
• 27:14
  Okay.
• 27:15
  Um, in this
• 27:18
  attempt, I'm going to try and just because it says
• 27:21
  Smash, uh, mark one, fatigue to destroy
• 27:24
  or destabilize something in the environment.
• 27:27
  Um, I will attempt to destroy
• 27:30
  this gem on top of the monster.
• 27:32
  All right, so both of you are going to be rolling with passion since you're both doing
• 27:35
  advance and attack to determine if you do
• 27:38
  something or how much you're able to do or whatever the
• 27:40
  case.
• 27:41
  I get a plus two on passion.
• 27:44
  Uh, 13.
• 27:46
  And is that with your plus one as well?
• 27:48
  1414. Wow. Goodness. Okay, so,
• 27:51
  yeah, you use Smash. You raise your hand
• 27:54
  above your head. You come down hard, as, um,
• 27:57
  Earthbenders do. They don't fear the rock as it's
• 28:00
  coming towards them, per se. So you feel very confident as you
• 28:02
  come down. You break the rock. As your fist
• 28:05
  makes contact with it, the gem itself
• 28:08
  breaks free, uh, from the creature's
• 28:11
  head. It flies up. As it does, the
• 28:14
  creature starts to kind of, like, wobble and so on.
• 28:17
  Um, guo, what are you doing?
• 28:20
  Um, I'm also going to smash.
• 28:22
  Okay.
• 28:23
  I'm going to look at
• 28:26
  those rock colonnades or whatever
• 28:29
  on, um, the side of the hill, and I'm m going to
• 28:31
  attempt to take
• 28:34
  out the small piece of stone that's holding
• 28:37
  the pillar.
• 28:38
  Up, cause it to kind of collapse.
• 28:40
  Um, okay.
• 28:43
  Yeah.
• 28:44
  And what did you roll
• 28:46
  or get.
• 28:47
  Like, a small rock, like, get momentum,
• 28:50
  um, to roll into that and to cause some sort of
• 28:53
  avalanche.
• 28:54
  Sure.
• 28:55
  I got a nine.
• 28:56
  A nine.
• 28:56
  Okay, cool. That's a success.
• 28:58
  So you rush over to one of these
• 29:01
  outcroppings that sort of angled at just the
• 29:04
  right spot on the top of this hill, uh,
• 29:07
  that you're sort of on, and you break out a chunk of it,
• 29:10
  allowing the rock to tumble forward and start
• 29:13
  rolling down the hill, as you mentioned. Um, Brock, you
• 29:16
  have just ripped the gemstone out of
• 29:19
  its head. And as it wobbles and starts to
• 29:21
  destabilize, a rock outcropping comes
• 29:24
  down and sort of sweeps its legs out from under it.
• 29:26
  So the whole beast kind of just tumbles backwards and
• 29:29
  falls. I would say
• 29:32
  you deftly easily leap off of
• 29:35
  it, having maybe seen this coming
• 29:38
  or just having the fact that you were on
• 29:41
  top of it, um, in your
• 29:43
  favor. So you leap off this beast, you've got
• 29:46
  the giant gem in your hand, and, uh,
• 29:49
  the beast is down as it hits the ground. All
• 29:52
  the rocks that make up this spirit, as they
• 29:55
  said, or, uh, as Rooney had yelled, um, just
• 29:58
  sort of start to roll away into
• 30:01
  just a series of boulders. Not one
• 30:04
  connected creature anymore.
• 30:10
  Are you, like me, a fan of
• 30:13
  piracy or privateering, um,
• 30:16
  out in your DND campaign? Well, check
• 30:19
  this out. We have been working on a brand
• 30:21
  new airship combat system. That
• 30:24
  means you and your privateer crew can now
• 30:27
  take to the skies and pillage at new
• 30:30
  heights. Within this system, you will
• 30:33
  get three dimensional dynamic movement and
• 30:36
  combat rules. You'll get a brand new
• 30:38
  updated air crew system as well as
• 30:41
  brand new spells, items, creatures,
• 30:44
  and example airships for you to use in your
• 30:47
  campaign as well as crews to put on
• 30:49
  them. But I think the coolest part about all of this
• 30:52
  is we have a custom ship builder
• 30:55
  application that will allow you to customize and
• 30:58
  build your very own airship.
• 31:01
  It means you and your team can have exactly
• 31:04
  what you want as you take on the skies.
• 31:07
  If you're interested in any of that, check out our Sky's efforts
• 31:10
  Kickstarter here at Hermion the Dude.
• 31:16
  Snyder's Return is a tabletop roleplay interview
• 31:19
  and actual play podcast. We chat with content
• 31:22
  creators from both mainstream and indie

• 31:30
  Meddlers Monsters, and, uh, Mabin and more
• 31:32
  games coming in the future. We also have
• 31:35
  a TTRPG review show on
• 31:38
  YouTube, fly like a D Six.
• 31:41
  Come and check us out. You can find us on Twitter

• 31:53
  you get your podcasts.
• 32:01
  Hey, everyone, Skyler here, your friendly neighborhood
• 32:04
  game master. I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that
• 32:07
  we at Benders and Brews have been working our creative juices
• 32:10
  extra hard and pushing our artistic skills to the
• 32:13
  max in order to bring you some
• 32:15
  sick. Benders and brews. Merch.
• 32:18
  That's right.
• 32:19
  You can head on over to the Tea Public shop we created where you
• 32:21
  can snag shirts, stickers, mugs, and
• 32:24
  so much more with your favorite B B characters on
• 32:27
  them. Grab a Chibi Mika baseball t shirt.
• 32:30
  Or maybe you want a broccoli mug designed with the employee
• 32:33
  Blissful Brew Tea Shop logo. There's
• 32:36
  all of those and more and even more down the road
• 32:39
  when we.
• 32:39
  Come up with ideas.
• 32:40
  So head on over to Tea Public and search for Benders and
• 32:43
  Brews. Or you can follow us on social media, where we'll
• 32:46
  post the links that'll be easily available to all of you.
• 32:49
  And of course, if you get some of our merch, be sure to
• 32:52
  tag us in a photo of you with the respective BNB
• 32:54
  swag, because all of us at the studio would love to see
• 32:57
  it. Thanks for listening.
• 32:58
  Let's get back to the show.
• 33:05
  All right, so with the gem in hand,
• 33:08
  I turn up to, uh,
• 33:11
  Bill and Mika, and I just
• 33:14
  yell, did.
• 33:15
  You enjoy the show?
• 33:20
  Yeah,
• 33:22
  thanks for the help.
• 33:24
  I guess you pretty much had it handled,
• 33:27
  Brock.
• 33:28
  Would have been nice to have some help still.
• 33:32
  Well, we have a gem now, I guess. That's kind of
• 33:34
  cool. Should we get back onto
• 33:37
  the boats?
• 33:39
  Is everyone okay down there?
• 33:41
  I think everyone's fine.
• 33:43
  One man steps forward and he says.
• 33:45
  Well, I got to say, uh, I'm the
• 33:48
  foreman here, and I've never quite seen anything like
• 33:51
  that before in my life. I got to say, I really
• 33:53
  appreciate your guys'help. Who knows what
• 33:56
  would have happened to us if you hadn't been here.
• 33:59
  Well, happy to help.
• 34:02
  Just, um, be careful
• 34:05
  next time. Ah, rock monster comes up, I suppose.
• 34:08
  Well, I've never seen such a thing in my life.
• 34:11
  And then all of a sudden, Rooney,
• 34:14
  he jumps up and lands on
• 34:17
  his back and slides down the hill with his legs up in
• 34:20
  the air, sort of almost steering things
• 34:23
  as he rolls or slides, and he
• 34:25
  pops back up onto his feet as he reaches the bottom.
• 34:28
  He's like, Well, I told you that things like this would happen. I
• 34:31
  said, It's dangerous to go carving through the middle of
• 34:34
  a mountain. But you guys didn't listen to me, and you said, we're going to
• 34:37
  make gold.
• 34:40
  He just kind of loses all sense of understanding after a
• 34:42
  certain moment, and.
• 34:43
  The guy's like, well,
• 34:46
  I don't know what to say. You sound like a crazy
• 34:49
  old man. Yeah, crazy old man. Crazy
• 34:52
  old man. Well, I'm not a crazy old man
• 34:55
  today. Look at what happened.
• 34:58
  Uh, okay, fair point. I see your
• 35:01
  point. Uh, I apologize if I may have
• 35:04
  offended you, sir, uh, but, uh,
• 35:07
  what we're doing here, uh, is very important
• 35:09
  in creating trade between Gao Ling and
• 35:12
  the Fire Nation. And, uh, it has to be to I don't care,
• 35:15
  whatever.
• 35:19
  He's just gone, like, off his rocker. You don't even know what he's
• 35:22
  saying anymore?
• 35:24
  Well, we were fine.
• 35:27
  Yeah, there was an earth spirit, but super fine.
• 35:30
  Everything's fine. These guys are all fine. I mean,
• 35:33
  few cuts and bruises, but we should be good.
• 35:36
  Yes, I agree. I think we'll be
• 35:39
  all right. Uh, we may take, uh, the rest of the day off
• 35:42
  to recover, and then we'll, uh, continue in the
• 35:44
  morning. Nobody want to
• 35:47
  listen to me. Let's get out of here. I don't want to
• 35:50
  be around these crazy people anymore. It could be
• 35:53
  more rock spirits out here, who knows?
• 35:57
  So as we're I'm assuming if we start
• 35:59
  walking back to the we're back down
• 36:02
  towards the boats. Can I inspect well, you guys aren't.
• 36:05
  At the boats yet. I mean, you guys are still making your way through the mountain.
• 36:08
  What's the thinking like as we're walking down there? Can I
• 36:11
  inspect the gem, see if there's any sort of
• 36:13
  sure.
• 36:14
  Yeah. Ah.
• 36:14
  Do I need to roll for that?
• 36:16
  Um, the best thing that I could think of is if you wanted
• 36:19
  to try to assess a situation. Otherwise,
• 36:22
  um, it's hard to say if you
• 36:25
  personally would know much about it or be able to
• 36:28
  really sense much about it. It'd be something you'd probably just
• 36:30
  need somebody with expert knowledge
• 36:33
  to kind of help you out and
• 36:36
  determine.
• 36:37
  Gotcha. So I'll sort of extend the
• 36:39
  gem out, know Rooney
• 36:42
  and Bill, Mika and Guo and just
• 36:45
  the whole gang. Uh, you guys
• 36:48
  know anything about mean gave this
• 36:50
  thing life, so it's got to be pretty important, right?
• 36:53
  Oh, I think I might have seen or, uh, heard
• 36:56
  stories about something like this.
• 37:00
  What kind of stories?
• 37:02
  Well, I think, um, this is just a theory,
• 37:04
  mind you, but I think what you've got there
• 37:07
  is known as the heart
• 37:10
  of the mountain.
• 37:13
  Heart of the mountain?
• 37:14
  Yes. The
• 37:17
  whole mountain.
• 37:20
  You were punching that didn't
• 37:23
  break it?
• 37:25
  Some say that the heart of the mountain homes
• 37:28
  a guardian spirit, and each mountain
• 37:31
  has one, sometimes multiple,
• 37:33
  depending the size of the mountain. And,
• 37:36
  uh, I don't know, a number of other factors I don't know about.
• 37:39
  You killed it.
• 37:42
  Yeah.
• 37:44
  Just, uh, out of curiosity, how many mountains are
• 37:47
  we going to be encountering on this trip?
• 37:49
  Oh, just this one. We just got to get through this, and
• 37:51
  then on the other side, we'll get to Chin village.
• 37:54
  Okay, so we won't hopefully
• 37:57
  encounter any.
• 37:58
  More of those guys?
• 37:59
  Oh, no, I doubt it,
• 38:02
  to be fair. I mean, we're not the ones digging into the
• 38:05
  mountain. That's usually why they come out, as if someone's just
• 38:08
  gone too far and then this thing comes
• 38:10
  out.
• 38:13
  I was trained not to say what?
• 38:18
  Wow.
• 38:19
  Back to back. Lord of the Rings episodes a lot.
• 38:21
  Of Lord of the Rings coming in season
• 38:24
  two.
• 38:25
  Oh, boy.
• 38:26
  Well, I mean, what's done is done, right?
• 38:29
  It's not like we you ripped its heart out.
• 38:34
  You know what?
• 38:34
  Yeah.
• 38:35
  Spirits are going to be after you.
• 38:36
  Old heartbreaker.
• 38:37
  You know, all things considered, I bet it used to be mad
• 38:40
  at the construction crew. And I almost wonder
• 38:43
  if it's changed its feelings.
• 38:47
  I'm sure it has at this point.
• 38:49
  Yeah, I kind of feel bad about helping
• 38:52
  you, even though I didn't help you that much, brock.
• 38:57
  Well, if we're all cursed about
• 39:00
  this, uh, I'll take the blame for that. I
• 39:03
  will say a big old oops on that.
• 39:06
  So what are you going to do with it?
• 39:08
  Guess hang on to it.
• 39:12
  See, uh, we can do
• 39:15
  anything with it.
• 39:18
  Who knows? It's possible.
• 39:20
  Could sell for a good price.
• 39:23
  I don't know if I'd want to sell it, but I'm not
• 39:26
  opposed to it either.
• 39:27
  Keeping your options.
• 39:29
  Make a wish.
• 39:31
  I never heard a legend about that, but I suppose anything's
• 39:34
  possible when it comes to the spirit world.
• 39:36
  I will rub the gem the heart of the
• 39:39
  mountain just to see if.
• 39:41
  I get a wish. Uh, you don't get a wish,
• 39:44
  but you do feel almost like a
• 39:46
  rhythmic vibration within
• 39:48
  it.
• 39:51
  That's probably fine. Let's keep on
• 39:54
  trucking.
• 39:57
  Yeah.
• 39:57
  Uh, I mean, it kind of vibrated a little bit, but it's
• 40:00
  probably fine.
• 40:02
  The rock did.
• 40:03
  The gem did.
• 40:04
  Yeah, after I rubbed it.
• 40:07
  Yeah, that's totally normal.
• 40:08
  Uh, let's keep this creep spooky.
• 40:11
  Soul stone.
• 40:11
  Yeah, I see glows on my soul.
• 40:13
  Stone.
• 40:16
  Send shivers down your spine.
• 40:20
  Um, it starts to eventually get
• 40:22
  late in the day, and it slowly
• 40:25
  starts to get to a point where it's getting dark. And
• 40:28
  Rooney encourages you all, he says.
• 40:30
  Well, I think it's about time that we set up
• 40:32
  camp. I think, uh, before
• 40:35
  we're probably not too far off, but I think
• 40:38
  we're just far off enough that, uh, we probably don't want to be making
• 40:41
  our way through the mountains, uh, once it gets
• 40:44
  dark. That's just from my professional
• 40:47
  opinion.
• 40:50
  All right. Seems like a good
• 40:53
  enough place. Gohan's going to climb into
• 40:56
  a tree and set up his hammock.
• 40:59
  All right.
• 41:00
  Wow. If only I had
• 41:03
  been above the rock that fell on my back,
• 41:06
  then I wouldn't be like this. That's some good
• 41:09
  thinking. Get up high.
• 41:11
  Brock's gonna he's gonna do his, uh, rock
• 41:14
  bed where he rock bed he puts himself at
• 41:17
  ground level yep. With his rock
• 41:19
  blanket as we all yep.
• 41:23
  Bill, uh, and Mika as the non
• 41:26
  bender and waterbender of the group. What do
• 41:29
  you do to see Mika? You don't have a rooftop
• 41:32
  to sleep on.
• 41:33
  Go sleep up in the tree.
• 41:35
  Yeah, I might actually do that.
• 41:36
  Go for it. All right. You grab yourself another branch. How do you
• 41:39
  secure yourself onto the tree?
• 41:43
  I'm a small guy.
• 41:44
  Lay on the branch and hope you don't roll in your
• 41:47
  sleep.
• 41:47
  I don't move.
• 41:48
  Oh, okay. She doesn't move in her sleep.
• 41:50
  All right.
• 41:50
  Fun fact about Nika you got to.
• 41:52
  Be silent when you're sleeping in the jungle.
• 41:55
  Perfectly still or you'll die. When you
• 41:58
  sleep on the roofs, it's.
• 42:00
  Like those crazy people that sleep on.
• 42:03
  Like, if you sleep light enough.
• 42:05
  That's true. You hope you wake up
• 42:08
  before you roll off.
• 42:09
  Imagine non moving dreams. That's the key.
• 42:12
  Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's like a thing. Like, people
• 42:14
  will set up a cot on the
• 42:17
  side of a mountain, like, literally suspended there, and then
• 42:20
  they sleep in. Yeah. And I just know.
• 42:24
  No, thank you. But anyways anyways
• 42:27
  bill, what are you doing?
• 42:29
  I took my dog with me.
• 42:33
  Is there a fire?
• 42:35
  There can be. Uh,
• 42:37
  Rooney's got supplies, so I mean, yeah, he can make one.
• 42:40
  Should you remake one?
• 42:42
  Didn't you read the note? There's only the fire in your heart.
• 42:45
  Oh, yeah, sorry, I need to rip out my heart.
• 42:47
  We already ripped out a mountain's heart. You shouldn't rip out Bill's
• 42:50
  heart.
• 42:51
  Maybe that's
• 42:54
  one.
• 42:54
  He's too quiet now. His heart's broken in
• 42:57
  million pieces.
• 42:59
  He's working on it.
• 43:02
  Are you saying this in the.
• 43:07
  Tree.
• 43:15
  Goodness, like he just died two
• 43:18
  days ago?
• 43:20
  Some people
• 43:23
  grieve differently. Denial.
• 43:25
  Denial. Um, yeah, no,
• 43:28
  um, he definitely would probably get
• 43:31
  a fire going. Not much as far as, like
• 43:34
  I mean, there'd be some dried food or
• 43:37
  something. Like stuff that's easy to pack and take with
• 43:40
  you and things along those lines. So he would have some whatever
• 43:43
  you guys packed, obviously you could eat. Uh,
• 43:46
  but there is a fire and he
• 43:48
  sleeps next to it. He's got his own little sleeping bag. Kind of
• 43:51
  a situation going on.
• 43:54
  Okay. Ah, bill door definitely
• 43:57
  goes. Um,
• 43:59
  and, uh, rests.
• 44:02
  He sleeps against the base of the tree.
• 44:04
  Okay.
• 44:05
  Uh, that's weird.
• 44:08
  You're not coming down with that tree first.
• 44:10
  Yeah, Gohan is in that tree first. You joined his
• 44:13
  tree. He let you in that tree.
• 44:16
  Right?
• 44:16
  Sturdy trees growing in a mountain.
• 44:18
  You're lucky you didn't charge. Toll the troll.
• 44:21
  Toll the
• 44:24
  Guo troll.
• 44:27
  So, uh, he'd let it rest against the tree, holding his post.
• 44:31
  I give Dilbert some mealworms and I tuck
• 44:34
  them in.
• 44:36
  It's adorable. Um,
• 44:39
  perfect.
• 44:39
  Yeah.
• 44:40
  So you guys all get a good night's rest. Um,
• 44:43
  otherwise uneventful. Although there might have been some
• 44:45
  difficulty falling asleep just because of the strange
• 44:48
  either noises or lack of noises that
• 44:51
  comes with camping out in nature that you might not be
• 44:54
  used to. Some of you might
• 44:57
  not be used to having been living and
• 45:00
  Gowling for so long, hearing the night bustle
• 45:03
  and hustle of the various people going about
• 45:06
  their business and such that doesn't exist here.
• 45:08
  But at the same time, there are a lot of sounds that are new
• 45:11
  to you. From bugs to strange
• 45:14
  creatures that live amidst the mountains.
• 45:17
  But, uh, whatever the case, nothing seems to bother you through the
• 45:20
  night. Um, in the back of your
• 45:23
  mind, you wonder if maybe that was worth paying
• 45:25
  for when it came to Rooney. Uh,
• 45:28
  he has obviously led you to a
• 45:31
  space in the area that is
• 45:34
  safe from potential prowling creatures. Whatever the
• 45:36
  case, um, you wake up the next morning, uh, if
• 45:39
  you have any fatigue, I would say
• 45:42
  this probably relieves one, um, since
• 45:45
  it's sleeping outside in the kind of a
• 45:48
  more camping situation.
• 45:51
  Um, but otherwise,
• 45:53
  yeah, um, you feel more or less rested. Rooney sits
• 45:56
  there, he's like, well I.
• 45:57
  Figured it's not far to go, so I didn't want to wake you all too
• 46:00
  early because we'll get
• 46:03
  there before the end of the day.
• 46:08
  So if you guys are ready
• 46:11
  and.
• 46:12
  Awake, lead the way.
• 46:13
  Uh, all right, and away we
• 46:16
  go.
• 46:17
  And so you guys continue on through
• 46:20
  the mountain range and slowly but
• 46:22
  surely off in the distance you can
• 46:25
  see the outskirts of Chin
• 46:28
  Village. Whoa.
• 46:31
  Is this Chin Village?
• 46:32
  Bro. That over there is Chin Village. And across
• 46:35
  from that you see the water that's reflecting all the
• 46:38
  sunlight. That's Moko sea.
• 46:41
  And that's where you'll have to cross to get to.
• 46:46
  Is a how, uh, long is the
• 46:49
  trip across the water to Whaletail Island?
• 46:52
  Well, I don't do much on the water, so I cannot
• 46:55
  tell you, but, uh,
• 46:57
  yeah, I don't know much about Whaletail Island. I think it's
• 47:00
  pirate place. I think they got pirates. They got a real pirate
• 47:03
  problem.
• 47:04
  Do you know if there's a sailor in
• 47:07
  town we could talk to?
• 47:08
  Oh, I'm sure there's sailors in,
• 47:13
  yep.
• 47:14
  Did we already pay?
• 47:17
  No.
• 47:18
  Yes. Yeah, we definitely paid you. Did
• 47:21
  you I think you might got hit in the head with another rock.
• 47:24
  No, it does happen from time to time.
• 47:27
  Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Yeah.
• 47:28
  Right, Bill? We paid him.
• 47:29
  Yeah, up front.
• 47:30
  Yeah. I mean, why else would you come out here if not with
• 47:33
  already all the money?
• 47:35
  Yes.
• 47:36
  Mhm.
• 47:39
  Uh, you're right.
• 47:42
  You're all right with me too, Rooney. And
• 47:45
  that's not just referring to your 90 degree angle.
• 47:53
  He pauses for a moment, he thinks about that one. He's like.
• 47:59
  You'Re all right too, kid. All right, let's get over to Chin.
• 48:02
  Village, give him ah, a wink and.
• 48:04
  A point so I didn't get too.
• 48:06
  Bent out of shape.
• 48:12
  Low five.
• 48:14
  It's funny because his back's busted.
• 48:19
  Fun fact about,
• 48:21
  uh, Rooney, uh, he is entirely
• 48:24
  based off of a dude that I saw in a parking
• 48:27
  garage.
• 48:30
  That bad, huh? It freaked me out.
• 48:34
  Thankfully. So this is the second time I've seen that guy, and
• 48:37
  thankfully, both times he's been walking away from me because
• 48:39
  it's a dark parking garage. And I'm usually, like, the
• 48:42
  only person out there getting my car. And I'm like, if I saw
• 48:45
  a 90 deg person walking towards me, it sounds straight
• 48:48
  out of, like, a creepy pasta.
• 48:50
  Turn around. He doesn't have a face.
• 48:52
  Good god. No.
• 48:54
  The guy back in California, actually, he went to my church.
• 48:57
  He had the same situation.
• 48:58
  He had a back situation.
• 49:00
  M.
• 49:03
  All these falling rocks everywhere.
• 49:08
  That'll do it really. It's
• 49:11
  the untold crisis across
• 49:13
  America, right?
• 49:14
  Yeah, it's true. Um, so as you
• 49:17
  guys make it into Chin Village,
• 49:20
  um, Rooney says, well.
• 49:23
  M, I go faster on my own. Usually it takes a
• 49:26
  full day for me to get people over here, but
• 49:29
  it'll only take me about the rest of today to get
• 49:32
  back, so I'm going to just head out. So, uh, good luck to you
• 49:35
  guys.
• 49:35
  Bye bye. And
• 49:38
  he turns
• 49:40
  180 degrees to walk his 90
• 49:43
  degrees self back through the
• 49:45
  mountain. It's a lot of
• 49:48
  angles. You guys didn't think you'd be doing so much geometry
• 49:51
  today, did you? Um, as he does this,
• 49:54
  you guys turn back around to, uh, Chin Village
• 49:57
  and you realize
• 50:00
  it's pretty empty, like nobody's around, which
• 50:03
  is weird.
• 50:04
  Um, just feel a boat.
• 50:05
  Where are you guys headed? Whaletail
• 50:08
  island.
• 50:09
  Do we know how to get there? It's just open water.
• 50:12
  It is just open water. You currently don't have a
• 50:15
  vessel?
• 50:15
  We can steal it.
• 50:17
  I have a question.
• 50:18
  Yes?
• 50:18
  Where did I land? With Mr.
• 50:21
  Okeron.
• 50:22
  Like in what sense?
• 50:23
  Like when we ran from the pirates, where did
• 50:26
  we land? Oh, was it in near
• 50:29
  this town?
• 50:30
  Yeah, it probably would have been, actually. Yeah.
• 50:32
  Okay, so should we go check the beaches?
• 50:34
  For what? If we start
• 50:37
  by checking where me and Mr.
• 50:39
  Okaron first showed up
• 50:42
  here on the boat.
• 50:44
  That sounds like a good idea.
• 50:46
  And if we can't find anything there, then we can go talk to pirates,
• 50:49
  the sorry, rather the, uh,
• 50:51
  traders around here, the ship captains,
• 50:54
  and get us a boat. But first we should
• 50:57
  check because I think the riddles said something
• 50:59
  about going to this place where we first landed,
• 51:02
  so might as well go there.
• 51:04
  Okay. Um, you guys make your way to
• 51:07
  the beaches of
• 51:10
  Chin Village, kind of going up along
• 51:12
  the coast, you feel fairly
• 51:15
  confident that you find the spot where you guys
• 51:18
  originally landed. Um, there doesn't really
• 51:21
  seem to be anything there. And again, you're
• 51:24
  continually surprised because you really haven't seen a whole lot of people,
• 51:27
  but you can hear something off in the not
• 51:30
  too far off distance. Um,
• 51:33
  some loud noises, something
• 51:36
  jovial almost like, um,
• 51:38
  rhythmic in a sense.
• 51:42
  Okay.
• 51:43
  But we don't see anything at the.
• 51:45
  Spot where we right. Okay. To be fair, you have kind
• 51:48
  of made your way around the outside of this,
• 51:51
  so you kind of came in at the outskirts of
• 51:54
  the town and then the beach was continued around to the
• 51:56
  outskirts.
• 51:58
  So we're on the beach right now?
• 52:00
  Yeah.
• 52:00
  Okay.
• 52:02
  Um, you do see a number of ships that are all
• 52:04
  docked, um, but nobody seems to be loading
• 52:07
  or unloading or in the
• 52:09
  ships on the docks, near the
• 52:12
  ships, et cetera. Okay.
• 52:15
  Any idea what we're looking for, Bill?
• 52:19
  Uh, no, not particularly.
• 52:24
  I don't see any boat
• 52:26
  thingies out here or
• 52:30
  don't, um, see crates,
• 52:32
  nothing. I don't know really what to look for out here.
• 52:35
  This is where we landed. It was right by this
• 52:38
  I think it was by this rock.
• 52:43
  I don't know how many other rocks look like, uh,
• 52:48
  uh, uh, half
• 52:51
  a chicken?
• 52:53
  I don't know.
• 52:54
  Well, the clue said well, I might.
• 52:56
  Have a few in my pouch, actually.
• 52:58
  Big rocks.
• 52:59
  Big rocks.
• 52:59
  These are boulders. It looks like a boulder. Look like half a
• 53:02
  chicken.
• 53:03
  Is there one? Can we see one?
• 53:05
  Here a boulder here that looks like half a chicken?
• 53:07
  Yes, like that one.
• 53:10
  See.
• 53:13
  I, uh, point to one and you guys look at it, and
• 53:17
  it does not look like half a chicken.
• 53:19
  And it looks like half of a
• 53:21
  rotisserie chicken.
• 53:22
  Oh, there you go. With, like, a leg sticking out.
• 53:25
  Yeah.
• 53:26
  So like that big rock over there, the one that we're
• 53:29
  not near right now?
• 53:30
  Yeah, that one over that one looks.
• 53:32
  Like an opposite half of a
• 53:35
  rotisserie chicken.
• 53:36
  Yeah, maybe check by that.
• 53:39
  That's where we landed.
• 53:41
  Probably go check over there.
• 53:42
  Yeah, let's go over there.
• 53:44
  Uh, you check over there and you still don't really
• 53:47
  see any dinghies or canoes or
• 53:49
  any other ships, if that's what you're looking for.
• 53:53
  No X marks the spots. No chest,
• 53:56
  nothing.
• 53:57
  Uh, I mean, you look at the map again, and it's not
• 54:00
  showing any kind of X or anything on the
• 54:03
  beaches of Chin Village. It does cross through Chin
• 54:06
  Village, like the dotted line, but the X is at
• 54:08
  Whaletail Island.
• 54:10
  Okay, well, it says.
• 54:14
  Return yourself to the island shores. The next clue
• 54:17
  will soon be yours.
• 54:19
  Uh, we're not on the island, guys.
• 54:23
  No. Did you meet Mr. Okeron?
• 54:26
  On whaletail island.
• 54:29
  Well, there was an island we were
• 54:32
  docked on for a limited
• 54:34
  time. It was like a pirate hideout
• 54:37
  where they would basically put all their smuggled goods
• 54:40
  and stuff in between ports and stuff.
• 54:43
  I didn't know the name of the island, but that might have been
• 54:46
  Whaletail Island. I guess
• 54:49
  that might be what the island shores it's talking about.
• 54:51
  Yeah, it doesn't specify.
• 54:55
  And then whenever we get there, we have to look to the back
• 54:58
  and use the flame in your heart.
• 55:00
  Well, you did that already. Gohan
• 55:03
  did with, uh, the
• 55:06
  flame on the map?
• 55:08
  Yeah, the candle flame. Uh, that's what gave us the
• 55:11
  map. So I guess we got to go to the shores. So
• 55:14
  let's get a boat. Simple.
• 55:16
  Yeah. Well, should we also find a map to Whaletail
• 55:19
  Island?
• 55:21
  We have one right here.
• 55:23
  Oh, yeah.
• 55:24
  Look at that.
• 55:25
  That rock monster did a number on my head.
• 55:30
  Um, how far is it to
• 55:33
  the island?
• 55:34
  We, um, still have no idea. It doesn't look like it'll take
• 55:37
  you no, no. Can we see it from M
• 55:40
  here? Yeah, um, you can actually kind of just barely make
• 55:42
  it out from where you're at, so it definitely doesn't look like it
• 55:45
  would take you a whole day.
• 55:47
  Mr. Okeron and I if Whaletail Island is the island
• 55:50
  where we escaped from the pirates, me and Mr. Okaron were able
• 55:52
  to escape them in a night in a dinghy. And
• 55:55
  he was, needless to say, not
• 55:58
  was. Mostly it was all me.
• 56:00
  I'm going to be honest.
• 56:00
  It was all me, uh, rowing that old
• 56:03
  man, uh, in a dinghy filled, mind you,
• 56:06
  with a lot of tea products. He was not
• 56:09
  willing to, uh, let go easily.
• 56:11
  I don't know if I'd say a.
• 56:12
  Lot, but whatever he could get.
• 56:14
  Hey, this is Bill's interpretation.
• 56:17
  Any amount of tea products a lot to Bill because he
• 56:20
  doesn't see any value in saving tea.
• 56:23
  He was very insistent on saving his tea. I saw
• 56:26
  no reason but, you know, Mr. Ochre
• 56:29
  on New
• 56:32
  Or loved his tea.
• 56:36
  Anyways, you gotta find a
• 56:38
  boat.
• 56:39
  Our heads all.
• 56:43
  Mika'S whole purpose right now is just to continually
• 56:46
  remind you people that Ogron is dead.
• 56:49
  And to get a boat.
• 56:51
  And to get a boat.
• 56:53
  So it's not like we can grab anybody's
• 56:56
  keys, right?
• 56:59
  So where'd you get that fox dog?
• 57:03
  So we've all been wondering
• 57:06
  that's a.
• 57:07
  Little bit off topic.
• 57:08
  What's your fox dog's name?
• 57:11
  You haven't actually talked about it.
• 57:13
  Yeah, not since the
• 57:16
  that was like weeks ago.
• 57:18
  It's just been following us. We talk all the time about Dilbert.
• 57:21
  Yeah.
• 57:21
  Dilbert's.
• 57:21
  Cool.
• 57:23
  Look at him. He's just enjoying his nice swim in the
• 57:26
  water.
• 57:27
  Yeah.
• 57:27
  Ah, look at him.
• 57:27
  We just dropped him in the ocean.
• 57:30
  He's bobbing there. He like raises one tentacle
• 57:33
  and kind of waves it at you guys.
• 57:34
  You know, they're talking about him.
• 57:35
  Yeah, your fox dog is nowhere near Dilbert. We got
• 57:38
  to get some backstory.
• 57:40
  Maybe a little, uh, hat
• 57:43
  no.
• 57:43
  What if his name is Fantastic mr.
• 57:46
  Where's the dog?
• 57:47
  A hat? No, I said we need to
• 57:50
  get the dog a hat.
• 57:52
  Funny one.
• 57:53
  Named it in a different episode.
• 57:54
  I don't think you did. I don't think we did.
• 57:57
  Pretty sure we did.
• 57:58
  You could name it right now.
• 58:01
  McKay.
• 58:04
  It's a boy.
• 58:05
  It's a boy.
• 58:06
  Uh, oto?
• 58:07
  Otto? Uh.
• 58:11
  No.
• 58:15
  It'S a good name.
• 58:17
  It's a good name. Strong name, strong.
• 58:20
  Wish I'd been named it.
• 58:21
  What about, uh.
• 58:24
  A kale?
• 58:25
  How about Tommy boy? Are we
• 58:28
  naming it right now? Have you not named this thing yet?
• 58:31
  I told you, I'm pretty sure I named it in a different episode.
• 58:34
  What do you mean by episode? What does episode
• 58:37
  mean? Why are you giving me that
• 58:40
  look?
• 58:40
  Mika, put a pin in there.
• 58:43
  Fine. We'll get a ship and then
• 58:46
  we'll discuss the name on the way there.
• 58:49
  Perfect idea.
• 58:52
  So are there any ships that look easy to steal?
• 58:55
  Let's head back to the docks, guys.
• 58:57
  Well, you guys are still at the well, I mean, right there dock
• 59:00
  area. I mean, it's all kind of connected.
• 59:02
  So should we just walk up to the first ship?
• 59:04
  You could literally just grab like a dinghy or something.
• 59:07
  Yeah, but ships are cooler.
• 59:08
  True.
• 59:09
  We could build a whole ship and have a whole pirate crew or
• 59:12
  something.
• 59:12
  That'S a lot more noticeable and a
• 59:15
  lot probably more harder to sail.
• 59:18
  But if whale to it, if it's a pirate
• 59:21
  island, we want to blend in.
• 59:22
  Right. Because they're going to
• 59:25
  notice.
• 59:28
  Inconspic, whatever.
• 59:31
  Trust me. Any way you show up on a pirate island,
• 59:34
  uh, they're going to be asking questions if they see you.
• 59:37
  I just think our word would carry a bit further
• 59:40
  in a ship than on a dinghy. That's just my,
• 59:42
  uh, thought. Your word.
• 59:44
  Does anybody know when they try and attack the pirate
• 59:47
  the pirates, when they.
• 59:48
  Attack the ship, they would already know.
• 59:49
  What the ship is, probably.
• 59:52
  Yeah.
• 59:52
  We say, hey, oh, that's so and so ship. Let's
• 59:55
  shoot him with cannons.
• 59:57
  Unless he's light, and he's like, hey, it's good old
• 1:00:00
  Steve's ship.
• 1:00:01
  Then they would ask, Where's Steve?
• 1:00:03
  We'll say, he's drunk on
• 1:00:06
  the he's sleeping
• 1:00:09
  in the cabins.
• 1:00:11
  Yeah, but why take the chance on, oh, this boat
• 1:00:14
  might be good. This boat might not be.
• 1:00:18
  What if we find a boat where there
• 1:00:21
  is somebody drunk and sleeping in?
• 1:00:23
  Uh, it here you go. Let's just look on the
• 1:00:26
  boats, and we can pull the blame on them.
• 1:00:30
  Okay.
• 1:00:31
  Oh, you forgot to cast your mooring
• 1:00:34
  line.
• 1:00:36
  Is that a sailing term?
• 1:00:37
  What's a mooring line goal?
• 1:00:39
  The thing you tie to the dock. I don't know.
• 1:00:42
  Does anybody actually know how to sail?
• 1:00:45
  That's another I know how to row. I
• 1:00:48
  grew up on a dinghy because.
• 1:00:49
  I've done it before.
• 1:00:50
  I grew up on a farm.
• 1:00:52
  Uh, okay, so I don't think we want
• 1:00:55
  something with a sail if none of us know how to
• 1:00:57
  sail.
• 1:00:58
  What if we find someone who's going there and we just ask
• 1:01:01
  to tag along? There was a big party going around not too far
• 1:01:04
  from here.
• 1:01:04
  Um, if it's truly a pirate island, wouldn't the only people
• 1:01:07
  that be going there are pirates?
• 1:01:10
  Yeah, they're reasonable people.
• 1:01:11
  Right.
• 1:01:12
  Uh, in my experience,
• 1:01:16
  I was enslaved.
• 1:01:21
  Yeah, I guess they're mostly reasonable. They fed main stuff.
• 1:01:24
  Yeah.
• 1:01:26
  For the shot.
• 1:01:27
  Right.
• 1:01:28
  We just go up to the party. We kindly ask some
• 1:01:31
  random pirate stranger, who's a
• 1:01:33
  pirate?
• 1:01:35
  Pirate, raise your hand.
• 1:01:36
  I am a pirate.
• 1:01:39
  You got to raise your hand initially to, um, encourage more
• 1:01:42
  people. It's like if you're on stage and you ask people to raise their
• 1:01:45
  hand, you do it.
• 1:01:48
  I, um, like to think we walk in like plankton from SpongeBob in that
• 1:01:51
  one episode.
• 1:01:51
  It's like felicitations malfactors.
• 1:01:59
  Say that around a pirate. That worked great.
• 1:02:02
  That one pirate guy was that was like his whole it
• 1:02:05
  was like he was the well spoken pirate.
• 1:02:08
  That's the one I talked about. The
• 1:02:10
  bostaff.
• 1:02:11
  Uh, kilconi. That was his name. Kilconi.
• 1:02:13
  So what if he's on this island? We could talk.
• 1:02:16
  Well, then he definitely remembered me. That's for sure.
• 1:02:19
  In a good way.
• 1:02:20
  Unless if I hit him really hard in the head. I did hit him on the head.
• 1:02:23
  Maybe he'd lost memory of me.
• 1:02:28
  I don't know.
• 1:02:29
  Well, I don't see anybody around here. I think
• 1:02:32
  maybe we have to go figure out what
• 1:02:35
  all that ruckus was.
• 1:02:38
  We still hear it, right?
• 1:02:39
  Where is it on the sounds like it's
• 1:02:42
  coming from the center of town.
• 1:02:44
  Okay, go check out the ruckus.
• 1:02:46
  The ruckus.
• 1:02:47
  All right.
• 1:02:48
  Yeah.
• 1:02:48
  Ruckus time. Ruckus time.
• 1:02:50
  Ruckus time.
• 1:02:51
  All right, so you guys make your way? How about that?
• 1:02:53
  Brackus?
• 1:02:54
  No, not good. Okay.
• 1:02:55
  What about Fracas?
• 1:02:57
  Fracus.
• 1:02:58
  That's a good name.
• 1:02:59
  You guys make your way rufus towards.
• 1:03:02
  We'Re not on the ship yet. We got.
• 1:03:06
  We'Re saying that's what we're walking
• 1:03:08
  as you're walking towards the center.
• 1:03:10
  Of town, music, um,
• 1:03:13
  and crowds, uh,
• 1:03:15
  speaking and talking and chatting, and stuff starts to get
• 1:03:18
  louder. And eventually you approach what, uh,
• 1:03:21
  seems to be a massive festival going on, and
• 1:03:24
  people are celebrating. And there's
• 1:03:27
  little shop vendors that are
• 1:03:29
  selling they're selling all sorts of, like they
• 1:03:32
  look like sea serpent masks, um,
• 1:03:36
  kind of like different colors and such like that. There's people
• 1:03:39
  selling food. There's people selling
• 1:03:42
  what look like fancy wood
• 1:03:45
  blocks that kind of have, like, a rounded shape to
• 1:03:48
  it. And they're kind of, like, glistening like they've been
• 1:03:50
  painted with a special, um,
• 1:03:53
  glittery paint. Um,
• 1:03:56
  people seem to be gathering kind of into
• 1:03:59
  the center of town,
• 1:04:01
  and all of a sudden,
• 1:04:04
  somebody um well, I don't know. I mean, if
• 1:04:07
  you guys were going to interact with anything going on
• 1:04:10
  or thing yeah, just sort of see if.
• 1:04:12
  There'S any, uh, pirates, we'll
• 1:04:15
  say friendly faces.
• 1:04:16
  Sure. Well, there's plenty of friendly faces. There's a lot of people that
• 1:04:19
  seem like they're having a good time celebrating. Um
• 1:04:23
  um, if there was anything that you noticed
• 1:04:25
  that seemed off, you might
• 1:04:28
  notice that it seems like some people
• 1:04:32
  seem to kind of be avoiding
• 1:04:34
  other people that are all wearing the same outfits.
• 1:04:37
  So a lot of people are wearing.
• 1:04:40
  One of those festivals.
• 1:04:41
  So there's a lot of people wearing green, and there's
• 1:04:44
  a lot of people wearing red. And you notice that the
• 1:04:47
  people not always, but a, uh, few times you
• 1:04:49
  notice that people wearing green seem to be
• 1:04:52
  avoiding or maybe in a small, like one
• 1:04:55
  person to one person disagreement with somebody wearing red,
• 1:04:58
  but otherwise, that's all you notice.
• 1:05:01
  Um, what kind of green?
• 1:05:05
  Kind, um, of more of like, ah.
• 1:05:07
  Green or like an emerald green.
• 1:05:09
  More like an emerald green. Yeah. Thank you. And then
• 1:05:12
  the red is kind of a standard
• 1:05:15
  kind of a scarlet red.
• 1:05:18
  Do I recognize that color? Any
• 1:05:21
  of these colors?
• 1:05:22
  No. I mean, people in the
• 1:05:25
  Fire Nation wear red, and people in the Earth Nation wear green, but they don't seem.
• 1:05:28
  Like I was more mean, like pirate.
• 1:05:30
  Yeah. No, no. Definitely. Not. No.
• 1:05:33
  Um, whatever the case, you see somebody walk,
• 1:05:36
  there's like a big podium or whatever. Uh, there's like a
• 1:05:38
  big pillar, like a short pillar, like for
• 1:05:41
  putting something on, right? And somebody walks
• 1:05:44
  out wearing some very nice fancy
• 1:05:46
  clothes. Not far behind them, there's somebody
• 1:05:49
  wearing black, all black,
• 1:05:52
  almost sort of looks like a dressy, almost
• 1:05:54
  ceremonial kind of outfit. Um,
• 1:05:57
  the one walking forward currently
• 1:06:00
  is man. He's holding like a
• 1:06:02
  big square something in
• 1:06:05
  his hands with a big fabric covering
• 1:06:08
  over top of it. The person behind him wearing all
• 1:06:11
  black, it's a woman. Um, she's
• 1:06:14
  got a, ah, guard or somebody with
• 1:06:16
  her. Um, she kind of approaches and then stands off to the side of
• 1:06:19
  the stage. The man carrying the large glass,
• 1:06:22
  he sets it onto the little pedestal and he turns to the
• 1:06:25
  group and he's like, attention.
• 1:06:27
  Attention, everyone. It is time for the
• 1:06:29
  festival's proudest tradition, the
• 1:06:32
  revealing of the scales.
• 1:06:34
  And everyone's like, woo. And so they start
• 1:06:37
  to kind of gather around and of course, you guys kind of are within
• 1:06:39
  that crowd as you all gather around to see.
• 1:06:42
  And he's like, before I reveal the scales, I want
• 1:06:44
  to thank the people of Quinchao Village for joining us
• 1:06:47
  here today for the festival and bringing their
• 1:06:50
  scale along with them. As always,
• 1:06:53
  since it is Qin Village's time to shine,
• 1:06:56
  I will be revealing the scale bestowed to us,
• 1:06:59
  the green scale.
• 1:07:00
  And everyone's like, woo. They kind of like excited and stuff.
• 1:07:03
  And he pulls back the curtain
• 1:07:06
  and everyone gasps. And you guys are kind of
• 1:07:09
  unsure as to why they're all gasping,
• 1:07:11
  right? And the person who just
• 1:07:14
  pulled back the curtain, he kind of stands there very
• 1:07:17
  surprised. Um, the woman in all black, she kind of rushes
• 1:07:20
  up and she looks kind of like panicked and
• 1:07:23
  stuff, like, what's going on? And inside of
• 1:07:25
  this glass case that he has set on
• 1:07:28
  this pedestal, um, and just pulled the curtain
• 1:07:31
  back from, there's a large, red, sort of
• 1:07:34
  ornate scale looking thing, kind of similar to what you
• 1:07:37
  saw some people buying from the vendors. But this one looks
• 1:07:40
  like very almost glass,
• 1:07:43
  how it reflects the light and stuff like that. Very
• 1:07:46
  scale, like a serpent scale or something
• 1:07:49
  like that. Uh, it's red
• 1:07:51
  and everyone's gasping. And then you start to hear
• 1:07:54
  people throughout the crowd saying, where's the green
• 1:07:56
  scale? Where is it? Someone's stolen
• 1:07:59
  it. And next thing you know, people are
• 1:08:02
  screaming and shouting and kind of panicking a little bit. And the
• 1:08:05
  man at the front says.
• 1:08:06
  Please, everyone, remain calm. We are
• 1:08:09
  sure to find the green scale. I'm sure it was a
• 1:08:12
  simple misplacement. Never fear,
• 1:08:15
  we will find it and the festival can continue
• 1:08:18
  as normal.
• 1:08:20
  Oh, uh, dear. And with
• 1:08:23
  that, we will end episode two.
