Let me tell you a tale of three heroes, noble and bold. A brute, a druid, and a thief who is but nine years old. You know them by name.
You know them by deed. Their quests are famously daring. So here I sit, singing to you an adventure that is worth sharing. Tuck is the brute. He knows not his home. He loves to sing and fight. Fingers half-elf, he shifts his shape and wields a spear with great pride. Billy's a thief. His tiny size does mask the largest heart. Best and brightest they may not be, but their friendship outweighs their smarts. So gather round, friends, and listen close, for the tale's about to start.
Hello, everybody, and welcome to Spoutlore. I'm your game master, Sean O'Hara. Joining me as always, playing Tacoma Dome, the Barbarian. Hello. Playing Ving, the half-elf druid, Paul Oppers. Hello. And playing Fat Billy, the halfling thief, Jessica Tai. Hello. When last we left our heroes, the battle was joined in the temple of the moon. Wrath and Ving squared off one-on-one. Wolf versus polar bear. Yep.
Well, no, first it was just a fight-fight until Ving took on the form of a moonlit Wolf-Man, pinning Wrath to the ground with his jaws, and then using the power of the! Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man.
Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. Wolf-Man. In an absolutely unbelievably effective stage battle where there was a lot of, oof, ah, ki-yai. There was a period of time where we were just kind of bouncing up and down and like pushing our fists into the air like we were dancing. Yeah. Billy was really overplaying the drama of the situation, which was the perfect distraction for his attempts to steal the Medjay text on the altar. Hell yeah.
Leaving an illusory copy in its place. So, Irk pretended to get knocked out. Billy went and freed Maggie and Perel with the aid of Tacoma Dome. And then Perel was given the Medjay text to study in an attempt to discover what Roth's plan was and if there was a way to stop it. Meanwhile, Maggie, Tuck, and Billy went and absolutely fucking wrecked house with a group of Medjay that had arrived. Tuck put his balls in some guy's face. Yeah, that guy got drenched in the trench, my friends.
He got pinched. Pinched in the gint. You got one more in you. He got… Dicked in the dick. There we go. Billy caught the attention of the mysterious sniper chasing him up the stairs and finding, as he grabbed a piece of this individual's clothing, a pouch full of the magic crystals that we had discovered in the past. Upon gathering this pouch, Billy was overcome with some sort of strong emotion. Mm-hmm.
Maggie and Billy continued the pursuit, Billy entering the fairy world briefly to attempt to catch up with this figure who, because of a failure, looked Billy right in the eyes with goggles that seemed to be made of the same blue crystal, said, Nice try, kid, and disappeared. That was fucked. Such a cool, like, young Indiana Jones moment, you know? Oh, yeah, totally! Yeah. Back in the chamber, uh, Roth…
Was overcome with, uh, near uncontrollable transformations thanks to Ving's spirit walker powers. And somewhat of a primal rage. Yeah, he began being filled with this animal rage as he swapped indiscriminately between forms, uh, Ving realizing that because he is not a druid druid, uh, he is without a tell, which makes him unable to process, kind of, uh, spirit power in the same way. Mm-hmm. Which would eventually kill him.
Uh, Ving's big move ended up being smashing the altar with Terry, Larry, and Chad Totally. To stop the ritual, which released some wave of spiritual turbulence, uh, causing Roth to begin losing control of the shape-shifting powers, becoming a chimera before your very eyes. And the same thing happened to Ving as the elements began to take over his body. Mm-hmm.
Something reached out to him, he reached back, and his body would, uh, body was filled with the purest moonlight, healing him of his previous tolls that nature exacted from him in his manipulation of the elements. That's so cool. And that is where we find ourselves now. Ving, uh, emanating the light of the full moon, Roth, writhing on the ground. Tuck is wearing sunglasses, looking directly at Ving. Whoa.
Uh, yeah, Billy's squinting his eyes, just getting a sunburn, basically, from how bright it is. Getting a sunburn from moonlight. That's how pale Billy is. That's how pale I am. Um, and Perel and Maggie, uh, are similarly just, like, mouth agape, staring at Ving, and Roth has fallen to his knees, shifting shape, uh, almost constantly, roiling like a, like a pot of stew. Oh, yeah. Like, his body changing constantly. As he just stares at Ving. Gross. Yeah, it doesn't feel good, for sure.
Tuck says, Tuck points and goes, gross. But Ving, you just look down, Roth is in agony. He's definitely losing control. Mm-hmm. And he very likely is dying. What do you do? Ah. He's got all of the animal forms. Mm-hmm. Um, Ving goes up to him, and he asks him, and he tells him, he's like, I can, I can take this away from you. I can help you. But you have to give it to me willing. Uh, 2d6 plus charisma. Nine. Seven to nine. Hmm.
What I'm basically offering him is to do what he did to me and stab all the different animals of the chimera to remove them from his soul. Yeah. But it would take away him dying, but then also his ability to shape shift. Mm-hmm. So he looks up at you. His, his chimeric form, uh, calms momentarily as he seems to come to terms with some decision and, uh, looks you in the eyes and says, I would rather die. Uh, Ving smiles a little bit and turns around and walks away. Mm.
I know that you guys wanted some information out of him. If you have a method that is not asking him politely, cause… Ving turns around and I'm thinking, I'm gonna do another thing. One more thing. Uh, you have moments before he… Can I try lightning in a bottle? Absolutely you can. Um, I go up to him and I hold his face in my hands. Um, I feel kind of bad for Roth. Mm-hmm. Um, very much consumed in his own, uh, thirst for power. Yeah.
Yeah, and I, I just, I hold his head between my hands and I watch his eyes. Yeah. And what do I see? Uh, you roll for it. Okay. I forgot to do that. A 10. Heck yeah. Okay, so that means that you can withdraw a memory and hold onto it indefinitely. So he kind of gives you the whole thing. Uh, you see a small boy that you determined to be Roth growing up on the streets of McCall. Oh no. Oh God. Not more of this. No empathy. Seeing… No empathy.
Seeing the people in the city that have power and how they wield it and the, the life that he led and the ways that people could use their power to help people and they decided not to and a hardening over time as he grew up, he got mean, he got vicious and did what he could to fight against people that had power and chose to abuse it. You see him like being, uh, welcomed and fed and clothed and trained by an elder Magi. It was that elder Magi, the guy who like tricked Ving into… Yeah. Yeah.
Into entering the chamber. Then Mike. Oh right. His name was Mike. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It is, uh, you, the, you know, the viewer would recognize him as the same man. Um, you see him rise through the ranks as a cold hearted and ambitious person. Um, more recently I'd say within the last 10 years, uh, when he's like in his prime, uh, when he's like in his, uh, mid to late twenties, he is approached. You, this image seems, or this memory seems very significant to him.
He's approached by a kind of pale skinned older man, like wrinkles, kind of like jowly wearing a simple cloak and like a wide traveling hat and walking with a stick. And, um, he smiles very, very. He smiles very benevolently at Roth and he hands him a black coin with an eye carved in it. Whoa. And Roth's goals change from then on out. And he pursues the collection of power, like the removal of power from people and the hoarding of it.
And then you see events that are very familiar to you play out the fight in the lighthouse meeting Caroline. And, uh, right up to now. Oh man. Um, I'm I've obviously got Chamberlain's ring on, so tuck and Ving can see this play out. Um, I feel really bad for Roth. I'd like to stay with him while he dies. It doesn't take long. I want to make it easy for him to go. How do you do that? I put Paul sabotage right next to his head. I am Cork. And. And Billy pushes the bottle away. Not, not right now.
Billy has a memory of old bill taking care of Billy when he was sick. Um, and he would like brush his hair and rub his cheeks and all that stuff. And that's what Billy does for Roth. He like, you know, brushes Roth's hair, try to comfort him. That's cute. I speak to all the animal forms. That's what Ving does. He calms all the animal forms using, um, spirit. He's like, I'm going to go get some food. I'm going to go get some food. There's a ton of overexposed. There's a ton of overexposed.
There's a ton of overexposed. There's a ton of overexposed. There's a ton of overexposed. There's a ton of overexposed. There's a ton of overexposed. There's a ton of overexposed. There's a ton of overexposed. There's a ton of overexposed. There's a ton of overexposed. There's a ton of overexposed. There's a ton of overexposed. There's a ton of overexposed. There's a ton of overexposed. There's a ton of overexposed. There's a ton of overexposed. There's a ton of overexposed.
Who was that old man? Can I use my bardic lore? Gods and their servants. No. No, you can't. Histories? No. Legends of guitar heroes past? No. He's none of these? Not that you know of. Can I just Spout Lore then? Yeah. Okay. Six. Eight. Yeah, go ahead and roll 2d6 plus bond. Holy shit. 11. You should have spouted lore. Fuck. Like you're racking your brain. This isn't even a recalling of information. This is a connecting of dots. That man must be a member of the dark guard.
It's the only thing that makes sense. So can you describe him again? He was kind of pale. He was like white skinned, old. Jowly. Jowly. Seemed kind of kind, kind of benevolent and was wearing a simple traveling cloak, plain clothes, a wide brimmed hat. And carrying a stick. And Tuck remembers the song, the maiden and the thief, and that there was a character in it called the gibbous man. And it explicitly says like the gibbous man was waiting there in the waning light of night.
He told the thief quite peaceably he would not win this fight. It's like that like kind of like benevolent manner, like of like this like eldritch entity. Oh my goodness. And he's like, he's, he's kind of described as this wandering figure in the song. Even. Whoa. That's cool. Irk stumbled, stumbles to his feet and walks forward and sees Roth lying on the ground and nods to himself. He wasn't going to stop. What would do him justice? How would he like his body returned to the earth?
In the past, you know, the Medjai that have have died, have their final rights have always been of the elements. Yeah. And they're like, I'm going to burn him, bury him, freeze him, sink him in the sea. Whatever's easiest. Well, let's cut them up and do all of those just to be respectful. All right, here we go. Maybe it's not. Let's just burn him. Let's go up to the top of the keep and build a pyre. So you're going to take him to the top of the tower and just burn him. I think so.
I feel like that's the best way to kind of like send them off. Um, you want to search his body, right? Yeah. Let's let's steal anything that he's got on first. Let's go ahead and loot his body. Yeah. Let's take his corpse real quick. I don't want to have those coins with us, but he was given one. Oh fuck. Right. Does he have that coin that the Gibbous man gave him? Uh, he, yeah, he has it on him. Oh shit. Yeah. But he's just, he's just carrying it with him. Yeah.
I'll, I'll just take it and I'll put it with the rest of my coins. Yep. I mean, I think the thing is, is that I think, um, the Medjai were kind of like aesthetic, so he doesn't have a lot of possessions. Hmm. I think he got, you know, like some ornamentation in his hair. Oh, what is it? It's like one of braided into mine. I think it's, I think it's rings of different like, uh, kinds of stone, like different elemental pieces, but that's all he's really got. Okay. Or can I have these?
Whatever you want to do. I'm, I'm done with this. This is, this is over for me, so I don't care what you do with them. Thanks for keeping your promise. I'm really hoping that it. Ends up being worth it. What will you do now? I don't know. Sign on with a boat, see the world a little bit. Never really left my call. So this has been pretty exciting, but maybe I'll just take up fishing. I think I'm done with excitement for a while. And he kind of just awkwardly like waves like, well, uh, see ya.
Bye. Bye. Thanks for the book. Hey, happy to help. Hey, thanks for the book. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. Thanks for magically binding me towards it. No. Hey, yeah. Yeah. Thanks for casting a, some kind of a freaky fairy spell on me was, uh, no problem. Yeah. I don't really know how to say bye.
People usually just leave and then I wait for them. Um, I'll see you another time. I'm so sorry. Yeah. I'll, I'll see you. I'll see you another time. Uh, actually, Hey, I never broke my promise. What happens now is our, I think I have the book, so I'm good. Is it complete? I guess so. Nothing's going to happen to you. I don't really know what would happen if, if you didn't. So Billy, he would have died. You made the promise. I would have died. I don't remember these things.
I, I live a busy life. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. Bye. You're going to go alive. Thanks for holding your promise. Whatever. See ya. See ya at the pub. Yeah, maybe. Bye. Bye. Bye. And his voice carries up the stairs and he's gone. Man, we're really weird when people leave. I don't know what I'm doing. Hey guys, Perel is here. I said in the third person. Hey, what's up? Perel's here. Um, are there still people in this tower that want to kill us?
I feel like they would have all gotten too scared to leave. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I feel like they would have all gotten too scared by all the spirit stuff that was going on. Yeah. There's been a, like I'm here of animals and elements. I don't know. Cool. Let's go then. Let's get out of here. Yeah. I pick up Roth's body so we can burn it. Okay.
Is there anywhere, can I discern realities just to see if there's maybe some legs around here? Oh right. Norman's legs. You're weirdly invested in me. Hey, he, a man asked him for a favor. Yeah. You can do something really cool that I could, we could give him as legs that would be, you know, obviously his legs aren't here. Who knows? You could discern realities and we'll say it's for the whole building. Okay, great. Plus wisdom. Nine. Nine. Could use a hand or a foot. Billy will help.
And just by also searching. Yeah. Uh, uh, seven. Whoa. So I, I'm just like wandering through the halls, just looking around, pretending I'm, oh, I'm going to be a little bit more of a, uh, a little bit more of a, uh, a little bit more of a, uh, uh, a little bit more of a, uh, a little bit more of a, uh, a little bit more of a, uh, a little kid. You know, I'm just like, okay, I'm going to come around pretending I'm a lost kid. Yeah. It's, it's odd. Everybody left.
It seems whatever the captain's council clearly wasn't here. Uh, the Medhi got them to leave and the Medhi that survived have escaped. Um, so they're in the wind. Um, some perhaps literally at this point it's like wandering around in middle school, like during summer vacation. Totally. Um, so you get three questions. Uh, what here is most like legs. Okay. Useful to me. Uh, maybe there's like a.
Exhibit like a dinosaur bone oh yeah we found these other legs some other beasts anthropology room yeah yeah that's from the light guard days I would say that there probably is like a um an exhibit of sorts that is like stuff that the pirates have captured over time like different captains having little displays so you do find like there are two displays that have like different wooden legs like a peg leg and a more like articulated wooden leg um you could return these to norman for sure you're not sure that his actual human physical legs are in this building anymore that's fine I'll take those legs okay great uh ving takes some legs and you got two more questions what's about to happen you look out one of the windows like one of the um kind of arrow slit windows higher up and towards the town and you can hear like clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang and it looks like maybe people are gathering to come see what was going on.
Oh. It's clear that whatever disturbance was taking place here also affected the town somehow. Oh, shit. Plus there's a huge fire on the roof. True. I bet word got out. Right. We should maybe slink away from here and pretend we weren't involved in this. Let's get out of here. Yeah. You got one more question if you want it. And there is like a tower full of stuff that you could pilfer if you chose to. Do we want to pilfer? Guys, how are you feeling? We'll just get the hell out of here.
I feel like we can just get the fuck out of here. Yeah. There's only one thing I want and it's not here, I guess. What do you want? Revenge? Yeah, revenge. Thank you, Bing. I feel like no one understands me sometimes, but Bing, you always get me. You've got to have revenge eyebrows right now, Billy. Thank you. Let's get out of here. Yeah. So you can, there is time for you to just like to slip out a side entrance. Okay. You've got Perel and Maggie. You kind of got to support them on the way out.
Tuck is carrying Perel like a little baby. He's got his arms wrapped around. Your neck. Thank you so much, Tuck, for carrying me out of here. That's okay. And then Tuck, there's like a scene where he like kicks open the front doors of the keep and then music swells behind him as he like runs out of the burning keep with Perel. At one point he lets go and Perel's still just hanging there because he's holding on so tight. Are you just like outside the keep, like in an alley or something?
We're in the bushes. We're in the bushes. We're back in the bushes. And Norman's like, how'd it go? We got your legs. We got you some legs. Oh, look at these things. And he starts popping off his own legs and putting the new ones on. They're totally mismatched. Different heights and everything. He's just like, this is the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me. Thank you so much. Oh man, you should see the effigy carved in stone in the keep. It's incredible. You were there.
You always will have been. Oh my God. And he stands up out of the bush. On his new legs. Just like, my life's work is done. Farewell. And he steps forward onto the shorter leg and falls right on his face. And does a bobbing walk off towards the town. And then I turned to these guys. I was like, we might've actually just framed Norman for everything that happened in there. Oh, he's fine. That wasn't our purpose from the beginning. Okay. And yeah, the question is, where to?
So Maggie is like, all right, let's get back to the Clearwater and then we can gather. What Clearwater? The Clearwater's gone. What? Yeah. Caroline might've just sent it off. Or she might've sold it to the Pirates Council. Caroline. But, okay. She betrayed us. No, no, no. It was a fucked up situation. Do you guys want to explain it or should we cut forward 10 minutes? Okay. Yeah. We do explain it to her though. And that's what happened. And Maggie's got her head in her hands.
She's like, a demon this whole time? It seems like most of the time that somebody's bad, a demon's involved. Even Roth, demon. Was he a demon? No, he just had a coin with him. But Caroline, Corrine had one inside her body? Mm-hmm. Yeah. It seemed like it was kind of mediating. Yeah. And stabilizing the demon inside of her. Because when she ended up coughing it up, the demon tried to go into Ving. And now it's in here.
And he lifts up a half shirt he's been wearing to reveal like the shards of white coin in his chest. Whoa. Does it look fucked up? Well, I don't know. It's kind of cold. You should probably cover that up a little bit. He puts the kimono back on. It looks good on you. Thanks. I'm going to keep the kimono on that so people don't see what the fuck's going on under here. I like that. So where's Corrine? Do we just leave her behind? No. We left her at the clinic. Oh. She was vertog. Okay.
I think she's interested in picking up the thread and following it to where it's going. Oh. All right. Shall we? I suppose. And, you know, walk, walk, walk. There's a bunch of- Walk, walk, walk. Yeah. That's how you guys- Sound when you walk. We don't do that. We do it in secret. Walk, walk, walk. Walk, walk, walk. There's a bunch of commotion. Like, every once in a while, people be like, oh, my God. Did you hear what happened in the fort? As they, like, rush past you. Mm-hmm.
But you get to Vertog's clinic, and Vertog is there, and so is Corrine. And Maggie walks into the room ahead of all of you. Mm-hmm. And she enters the room that Corrine is resting in, and she just looks at her. Oh. Uh, hi. Uh, hi. And Corrine goes, hi. Oh, she doesn't remember her. And Maggie just goes like, can we just have a second? Uh, yeah. We'll try and find a boat to hire. Okay. Yeah, I'll see you guys in a minute. We need a second. And he sits down in a chair. And they both look at Ving.
I'll go. I'll get a boat. I'll help get a boat. You're right. I'm better on boats. Should we hop in? Oh. Oh.
Yeah yeah he probably probably there yeah uh so you guys go to the hound yep and um you are walking towards the hound and uh just as you're like it's it's a raucous place always especially with uh whatever's been going on there's a lot of excitement and uh you're going towards the door and you go to reach the door and there's a crash as a body is thrown through the window next to the door and captain ollie underdreyfus hits the ground and gets up and goes oh hey ollie what the fuck just happened uh just uh just a normal disagreement between old friends how was your uh infiltration yeah when uh went okay I would say and then you hear in the back clang clang clang clang fire burning oh yeah okay yeah so that was you cool and you hear a yell from scythe dry fish get back in here we're not done and he's like crabs just cool it I'm with my friends okay we'll finish this later uh you want to come in get a drink no we want you we need a boat now now now now now please um I mean there's the matter of payment yeah and I've got to resupply and I've got to pay my crew like I can't we gotta what are we looking at tomorrow morning when's as soon as you can get ready is it still night I think it's like dawn ish oh uh so tomorrow morning is in like an hour from now that'd be great I mean if you if you make it worth my while I could probably pull some strings I'm gonna need a little bit of uh cashola to grease some palms you know what I mean I don't have cashola yeah we kind of lost all of our money we gave it all away I'll give you this light crystal I think it's worth a lot he squints one eye holds it up to the light it's sunstone is it really yeah man this is light crystal I don't think this is sunstone that's sunstone dude are you trying to lie to him no I think it's actually sunstone why'd you write light crystal and not sunstone because that's we were kind of calling them maybe the magic crystals also gave off light oh so I think that's what this is okay I mean ollie holds the the blue crystal up to the light and sees how it glimmers and is like I could probably trick somebody into buying this oh cool sick yeah all right I'll uh I'll meet you outside in hour and a half yeah all right we'll meet you at your boat okay I'll see you later and uh thanks ollie he puts a foot on the windowsill and dives back into the other the other non-broken window and uh you leave him to his business uh okay so you've got like an hour and a half two hours before you uh go meet ollie back at the dock and head out yeah anything that you want to take care of or do we just jump ahead I want to talk to parell and you guys I guess about those that pouch of crystals oh yeah do you want to get a a table at the hand while we hash this out yeah billy I could use a snack I I could use a snack too thank you for thank you for always looking out for me I'm just hungry myself like weirdly hungry being is like weirdly very hungry yeah starving you enter the hound you see ollie uh is in a headlock and uh uh some kind of big burly dwarf is just hammering him in the face over and over he waves at you and you continue on to your table negotiations are going good yeah man that guy's got a lot of friends uh and it is the usual motley assortment of uh customers here at the hound people from all corners of the globe and you just grab a table augustine is there but um he seems really busy so he you're not in his section tonight uh so a who's the who's the server that's helping you today is it like a teenager I think it's someone who just started big lanky teenager hi yeah welcome to the hound thank you my name's gall I'm gonna be your server for tonight can I start you off with some drinks could I have a cup of water cup of whopper sorry what'd you say cup of whatever whatever he said that's what I said what else could I get a a roast pheasant uh yeah roast f e z okay uh sorry do you guys have clams clams um probably can I have one giant clam oh okay all right I'll see you tonight clam I'll take whatever clams you have left remaining clams billy just ordered all the clams okay uh so I got a cup of whopper a blasted pheasant one big ram and sundry clams I'll be right back sounds good thank you and he uh he turns around and takes half a step before slamming full on into another guy and goes sorry and then spins around him and he's like oh my god I'm gonna be like oh my god I'm gonna be like oh my god I'm gonna be like oh my god I'm gonna be like oh my god I'm gonna be like oh my god I'm gonna be like oh my god I'm gonna be One of the rooms above.

These are the magic crystals, Billy. I thought so. I put one in my mouth. It tastes like licking a battery. Spicy. Spicy, hey? I also put one in my mouth. Your tongue is tingling for sure. Perel's like, stop putting them in your mouths. Why? I grabbed another one. Get them out of your mouth. I put it in my mouth.
I spit out like three of them. I take Perel's hand and put it in my mouth. Perel reaches into Tuck's mouth and takes the crystals out. Stop it. Stop it. They all have a different flavor. They do? No. Yeah, they do. I grab another one and put it in my mouth. Well, wait. What do they taste like? Well, and Perel's holding one and is just like, eat it. Eat it. Eat it. Eat it. No. Oh, wow. They do. Is that asparagus? Huh. So, this person just had a pouch of these? Yeah. I don't know what for though.
And this, okay, this is the other thing. When I was in the shadow world, the person saw me. It was like they were wearing these glasses, their goggles or whatever, and it was like made out of the same stuff as this. Really? And they saw you? They saw me. How did you know they saw you? Because they said, nice try, kid. Whoa. What? That shouldn't be possible. I know. It's really rude. There's no, how would they, people haven't done this since the Exodus.
Like this shouldn't be, I haven't seen anything like this since my imprisonment. It's basically people that worked with magical materials to create advanced technology. So, he's like an engineer basically? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Defuser no you just have to know what you're doing but like the materials are so uncommon now that it's very unusual that someone would even have all of the materials they need to make stuff like this well it seems like they are now missing a large portion of something very valuable to them what was what do you remember about the the weapon that they carried um it was long and there was a button that they would press it made like a little horn sound too yeah like a tiny rock came out of it but came out really fast a rock was it like a blade no it was like oh it was like pointy like a rock it's like yeah it's a tiny little pointy flat sharp edged rock and it made a it made a noise yeah like a little honk was that what that noise was yeah was them firing this weapon I think so huh uh yeah you can roll something because he's basically like I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have to think about this someone else did I fucked up the last Spout Lore okay I'll do it because it comes from the exodus so I can use my wisdom uh yep 2d6 plus wisdom eight nice perel says you know back in the day there were wizards or machinists that would use basically things like this more refined basically like magical magic like thalmic batteries to power objects or machines uh so maybe they figured out a way to use these crystals raw as they are to power whatever weapon they're using and also found a way to mill the crystals in a way that they can make lenses so then they can see into the other realms what I don't know I'd have to get a closer look at their godlike goggles but maybe they maybe there's parts in there that allow them to see things that aren't visible to normal perception I'm gonna have to think about it but um and he like piles them back into the bag and cinches it tight and is just gives back to billy and he's like keep those close and I'll take a look at them later but don't let anybody get those okay okay I've got the waiters scared the shit out of all of us a bunch of like okay I've got the waiters scared the shit out of all of us a bunch of like okay I've got the waiters scared the shit out of all of us a bunch of like crystals like fly in the air as I I spilled my whopper yeah he he says I got a glass of water and he gives you a water of a glass of what looks to be chicken stock uh he's got a blasted pheasant gives you a burger uh he got uh one big slam and he gives you like um giant t-bone steak a huge steak and he gives remaining clams and he gives billy a plate of clams thank you anything else I can get you can I have a fork oh oh my yeah I'm so sorry I'll be right back I'm so sorry can I have it now yes I'm sorry I just I feel really weird you can't be like this around serving staff I just I just I'm I'm used to being a monster physically and now it feels like it's moving on the inside right yeah pro's like bing how are you feeling you're and he like reaches out and grabs your hands like holds your hands in his hands and he's like look you're like I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry your hands your hands are so soft yeah of course they are I moisturize oh my god all right okay okay your hands are pretty soft too they're like brand new no they're not yeah bing is like he looks normal again he looks like season one vick now right yeah yeah you look normal nothing nothing wrong with normal but how do you feel somebody's looking at me like what are you looking at oh they just shrug at you all right fine I look at the bag of of crystals and I wonder like is it because of these hey the other thing about these crystals is it's like like it's like I can hear them kind of like when perel was evil and I could hear perel whoa what perel's eyes widen and he kind of scoots back a little bit goes what it's like it they talked to me or something what are they saying um they said I don't know like secret stuff like billy gets all embarrassed he's like I don't know they were just saying like maybe maybe you didn't respect me or like care about me when I was in a bad mood now and at first I was like believing it and then and then I realized like I'm not thinking that like these are telling me okay and then I I pick up billy and I give him a hug and I was like billy I trust you I trust you like to you hold on to these if you feel like you want to I'm scared that they're making ving mad they're not I'm sorry I've been through a lot okay I also trust you billy I hope that helps it does and you're not going to try like steal them in the night to try to become a wizard again no no I'm not okay and I turn to perel and I'm like is it possible that there is like part of your evil aspect in these polar or whatever he was called I don't I don't know I'll have to think about it but if these crystals are formed naturally the way they usually are it means that they were formed hundreds of years ago like normal crystals so it'd be pretty amazing if polar was able to influence them in any way okay well let us know if it happens again yeah definitely talk to us if you can if you can hear them again okay hmm okay I've got I brought forks and he dumps like 20 forks on the table hey goal yeah you're doing a great job thank thank you that really that really means a lot to me you're a very good waiter I can tell that you haven't been doing this very long I haven't my dad's on this place and they uh really wanted me to get a job but I just want to be I just want to paint but I need to work to buy paint uh and um my voice started doing this recently and it's really stressing out it sounds cool what yeah really yeah I've never heard anyone sound like you thank you uh if you need anything just shout and he uh trips over his own shoes and lands on his stomach and uh kind of belly crawls away um so you guys can just you know unless there's anything else you want to take care of in the hound you know we can jump forward yeah to the dock side um and you are standing next to captain olyander drive okay billy filled a to-go bag with all the clam shells just the shells yeah because I ate the clams and the seagulls are going nuts there's like 15 seagulls flying above billy I'm trying to build a little like like shell castle I'm swatting the seagulls away like stop it just wait till I'm done and they picked billy up a few times so tuck is like actively trying to get them out of there so that they don't see him and they're like oh my god I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I'm so sorry steal his kit yeah what's you drop him right now make us make us make us uh and uh oly is got like you know bags of shit over his shoulders that he's throwing to um currently nameless crewmen on board who are taking it below decks and uh maggie and kareen come walking down the the uh the jetty kareen is walking slowly definitely kind of limping a little bit she's got a new traveling cloak on it's thick and it's got like a big fur rough around the collar and maggie has all her shit uh such as it is which is not very much she is she bought a coat too but she doesn't have her weapons she doesn't have much of anything and they uh stop next to you and maggie puts her hand on kareen's shoulder and goes we've uh you know smooth things over so to speak uh got to know each other a little bit and kareen would like to um well you can and she gestures kareen forward and she goes I'd uh I think I'd really like to come with you if that's okay yeah hell yeah we'd love to have you okay I don't know how much use I'm gonna be um it's been a long time we don't really have that much use we just kind of get things done without a lot of use so I bet you'll find your use all right uh well thank you for everything and she heads up on board and perel comes walking down the deck he obviously went shopping a little bit uh before he came he's got a he's got a sun hat on and uh surprisingly practical clothing who is this they wow they have like no finery for sale on this whole island I swear it's like one big barksburg warehouse I don't know what I thought pirates were flashy I don't know what the deal is this is depressing and he just goes up on the deck and he's like I don't know what the deal is and ollie hops down onto the jetty and he's like all right I think we're uh pretty much loaded up ready to go all right I leave my my shell castle for the seagulls and they immediately dive bomb it and shells go everywhere um yeah what is the name of ollie's ship I was just I thought of a name and I was like that is definitely the name of like a divorced uncle's boat what uh the sun runner oh yeah that's oh yeah um yeah okay so the boat's called the sun runner yeah cool it's much more expensive than the uh clear water but it's fast as hell sick um this guy is is han solo in a lot of ways his ship is kind of a piece of shit but it's got it where it counts and it's so fast it's awesome there's like a big couch several big couches like all over the deck there's so many couches you go down you go down underneath and there's like a heavy bag for boxing there's like a bunch of posters of scantily clad folks on the walls there's a pinball machine yeah all those beer bottles yeah I don't know what's going on here I don't know what's going on here I don't know they're like on a coat rack to make like a little trees like you know I like to keep it a little festive a little fun it's nice yeah those neon lights yeah they are it's worm glass I got it in mccall and he uh taps it and it says uh budweiser what do you think that's cool pretty cool who's bud oh there's a little friend of mine my old bud nice yeah anyway where are we going I mean I guess we're really going for the frozen north but were we gonna try hibernia I can't remember um okay ollie's spread out a chart and he's like all right so we're here and he puts his finger on the four frost islands and we gotta go here and he points to like um a big peninsula in the north and he's like so this is where the thing that you're looking for is oh yeah that glacier yeah okay uh well uh fun fact and he kind of drags his finger down to uh a pretty solid rectangle that's like in between he's like this is the wall of fog we're gonna have to go through this if we want to get there shit have you ever done that before um yeah it's scary for sure uh sunrunner's pretty fast so we've outrun a couple things didn't really get a good look at them glad we're as fast as we are but um it's gonna be eventful if we gotta go there is there any other route we could take yeah we could technically go this way and he like um takes his finger up the coast to a bunch of like inlets and channels that seem to create uh some kind of way around he's like but that's gonna take way longer okay are you on any kind of time crunch kind of then it's probably the wall of fog all right well if all it is I mean I figured we'd probably be heading towards it yeah uh do you guys have uh like cold weather clothing because it's gonna get fucking cold billy looks down at himself tuck's got a kimono yeah I'm all I'm good I'll uh I'll see what I have we'll figure out something okay whatever man just use a lot of blankets uh I got a bunch of old fleece blankets in a pile you can use yeah billy's already like rifling through the blankets yeah this will fit this will fit this will fit oh my god um okay so I guess I mean I we could do undertake a perilous journey yeah okay so someone is going to roll uh scout ahead and someone is going to roll undertake a perilous journey are you okay ving yeah I'm fine I'm totally normal just like everyone else normal normal ving glad to not be having everyone's eyes on me he's like a the reality uh a tv star who went into an alternate universe while he wasn't on a reality tv show and now he's like kind of like being like I liked everyone thinking I was a freak I'm gonna say vings may be a little too overcome with his new change to take part in any of these shows I'm gonna say ving's maybe a little too overcome with these roles no I'll do the role I'll scout ahead or whatever okay so yeah you can roll scout ahead it's uh and someone's gonna have to roll um navigate I'll do them both uh no just do the one you're just gonna do the one I'll uh I I mean I shouldn't help now I don't know what I'm doing I'll navigate we're going north I know the way oh right yeah and billy you scout most sure best I scout really well okay so scout is 2d6 plus wisdom and I'm gonna do the one I'm gonna do the one I'm gonna do the one I'm gonna do the one I'm gonna do the one I'm gonna do the one I'm gonna do the one navigate is 2d6 plus intelligence nice I got five plus wisdom seven shit uh okay so on a seven to nine for scout ahead choose one from the list below you get the drop on whatever lies ahead you discern a beneficial aspect of the terrain a shortcut shelter or tactical advantage you make a capital d discovery you notice sign of a nearby capital d danger I think a discovery would be fun okay so you set sail and you are um the sky's gray it's cold it's snowing you know like usual um and a few hours pass ollie is at the wheel of the sunrunner uh what's everybody just doing while they're hanging out um billy is like burritoed up in some of the blankets and he's just like chilling on one of the couches up on the deck mm-hmm watching out nice yeah yeah that's great you're reading one of the maximum magazines yeah looking at a lot of pictures not really understanding what he's looking at completely yeah so many times we have like taken the magazines away from billy but he finds more somehow I always find them and all he's like hey it's not it's just maxim there's no nipples it's okay and what they don't know is billy's just looking at the food ad I love the full note wow we say hey it's just a hot dog yeah it's just a hot dog that gets long and it's just a hot dog that gets long and it's just a hot dog that gets longer and longer it's an ad for the hot dog festival that happened two years ago wow um what what are tucking being up to um tuck had actually pulled ving aside to like check in on him because he's been kind of off since he like became a christ-like figure in the chamber of the moon or whatever what of it it's like dude I mean like you you went through like a huge transformation you look totally different yeah and you've been acting like kind of upset I guess but yeah yep yeah I feel like I lost myself a little bit I really got tucked into feeling like a freak I guess like you liked it I don't know if I liked it but I I knew why I was what what it was but right now I don't know what I am right it was like all of your scars was I accepted all those uh I accepted paying nature's price so many times over and I knew why I was doing it I don't know why I am like I am or what I am right now I'm glowing like turn the light off close the door all right I turn the light off and close the door I look like a gin and tonic at a nightclub this is fucked up thing is glowing yeah it's weird give me the knife okay and I hand the fuck is the knife cut to billy billy's using the the knife to cut out the food ads from the magazine and he's making a little like like a dinner plate a little collage like a vision board yeah oh dinner when I get to a hotel or a restaurant I'm like oh my god I'm gonna be like oh my god I'm gonna be like oh my god I'm gonna be like oh my god I'm gonna be like oh my god I'm gonna be like oh my god I'm gonna be like this is what I'm gonna eat and that is gonna be spaghetti and meatballs and also this protein shake and this egg it's not even a cooked egg it's just an egg in the shell it's like an article cut in the shape of an egg look for for dessert a bunch of chicken drumsticks and ice cream drumsticks yum and there's two random sailors watching this happen yeah and they're both uh we got a we got a skinny guy fat guy configuration and they're both like yeah that sounds pretty good doesn't it yeah that sounds pretty good to me too let's talk about those drumsticks more well they're really crispy and no the ice cream ones the ice cream ones yeah they're crispy too they're crispy because look at it it has a chocolate shell on it and then you can add coconut sprinkles on top damn and then when you're thirsty you drink milk kid you are out of your mind I know I know but then you go really crazy and you add the ox blood and they both look at each other and go oh can you imagine I can't even imagine it's been like six months since I've been to a restaurant like that and then you can get some clams oh I just pull out some clams from clam shells from my pocket oh the shells okay and then cut forward another 10 minutes and there's a group of 10 guys just watching billy describe food 25 sequels circling above him and think about it like this when you add them all up in a sandwich form how quickly you can eat it also the many levels of flavors that you can combine oh my god kid you're a fucking genius thank you and uh we got we cut back skinny guy food and we're gonna go to the next one and we're gonna go to the next one and we're gonna go to the next one fat guy are in the crowd and fat guy grabs skinny guy by the front of the shirt and points at his face and goes one day teddy we're gonna go to a restaurant just like that just like that man he's like you mean it's like I mean it and they both hug each other and they're sobbing then we come back downstairs and then yeah tucks just patting his pockets I think billy took the knife oh billy must have it anyways I don't I don't know thanks for checking it look dude I understand I understand that That, like, your scars and, like, the way that you kind of, like, paid for your powers was, like, a big part of, like, your identity and how you thought about yourself.
That's how everybody saw me. I mean, it's not how Billy and I saw you. No? We saw what was in here. And he points… He points at Ving's chest, but he resists the urge to point at his crotch. You can see his hand shaking. And he grabs his wrist with, like, the other hand to stabilize it. Ving grabs his hands and starts, like, pulling it down to his dick. Don't you dare do this! Boop. Pokes him in the dick. I hear what you're saying.
Look, the fact that you don't hold the scars anymore doesn't change the sacrifices that you've made in the past. And the fact that you don't have them anymore doesn't change how Billy and I see you. You're still the same guy. You're still my wife. Kind of. You're still the man I married, kind of. Billy's still the son that we squeezed out of our butts or whatever. Did you guys hear that? What? It's the sound of a thousand shippers crying out in elation. Tuck calling Ving his wife. We did it!
We did it, everybody! He just touched his dick! Tuck is like, Okay, look. I wanted to check in to make sure you were okay. Like, also physically. Like, that you were okay. Like, that you weren't, like, dying or anything. I don't know. I do feel different. I'm hungry all the time. Okay, I have to tell you something. Uh-huh. Kind of fucked up. Okay. That happened before we left McCall. Yeah? Um, I talked to Ama at the party to try and get him to, like, look at me and see what I was again.
And he couldn't see anything. But he tried to look… Into my future. And, uh, he gave me a prophecy that I was gonna die. What do you mean? He said, It will end for you beneath a burning tree. And the last thing you say will be a lie. Tuck, he… You're not gonna die. You're too strong. You can't die. Look, dude. We don't talk about it. But we always knew that I was gonna go first. You're an elf. Billy's forever. But I'm gonna go first. So I have to know, when I go, that you've got Billy.
Well, I… I will always… Be there for him. And… I will always be there for you. Even if you're not there. Oh. Oh. Not to cry. My bad. Just let it out, man. I'm fine. I'm so hungry. Billy's up there talking about drumsticks and shit. I can hear him. He's talking so loud. He's basically immediately above us. Yeah. I have to talk loud because there's a group of 20 now. This boat is not that big. But somehow there's 20 people. Another boat is pulled up alongside.
There's guys climbed up into the rigging. My God. A meal fit for a king. I feel like the idea of Billy's become an orator of food. And I go, also, there's another thing. You know how like Billy forgets stuff? Mm-hmm. I think eventually he probably will forget me. And I want you to make me a promise that when he forgets me, you'll let him forget me. Sorry. No, that's really sad. Because he has to. He's too little. That's a lot of feelings. It's a lot of stuff he has to not remember.
Eventually he has to forget me. Tucky doesn't have to forget you while I'm still around. Those feelings are okay for him to have. And he needs to know that too. He can forget in his own time, but he won't forget you while I'm still around. Okay, how about this? Just tell him stories about me. Not that I was his dad. Not that I was, I traveled with you guys. But just tell him the stories of what we did together. Okay. I can do that. It'll be very hard.
I guess that's that's your scar to carry, man. It's your price to pay. Fuck. Brutal. We cut back up top. Billy, the crowd is dispersed. You're just dreaming about the big sandwich that you thought of. I'm just dreaming about the sandwich. The sandwich? Yeah. Well, you're thinking about the sandwich. Oh, yeah. Daydreaming as you're looking with your binoculars out into the misty day. You've been traveling for hours and hours now.
The sun is high in the sky, but it's still just as gray as it's been since you set sail. Except in the distance, now, just over the horizon, you see smoke. I wander up to Oleander. Hey, kid, what's going on? There's some smoke up ahead. Oh, what? Yeah, take a look. He reaches down and pulls out an actual spyglass. He sees you holding your hand, hands up to him and goes, okay. And he grabs the spyglass that he has and he unfurls it and he puts it up to his eye and goes, oh, yeah.
Ooh, that's a lot of smoke. Where is it coming from? And he looks closer as the ship sails a little bit closer and he goes, I think it's a village. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I see buildings. Oh, no. Are we near a place? He looks at the chart that he keeps next to the wheel and he looks at the map and he looks at the map and he looks at the map and he points at an island that has no name. Okay. But he's like, yeah, I guess it's not named on the map, but I guess people live out here.
Maybe go get the other two. Okay. I've got the blanket. I get out of the blanket. I'm too burritoed up. And this is an emergency. Okay. So I go downstairs to where Tuck and Ving are. Hey. Hey, why are you crying? We're not. What are you talking about? You're crying. You're crying. You're crying. I'm not crying. You're crying. No, there's cats down here or something. Really? Okay. Later, tell me where the cat went. Okay.
So I came to tell you that there, I saw some smoke and it looks like there's a village burning. We're near land. Oh, fuck. What? We might have to stop and look at it. Okay. And Maggie is… Sorry. That was the worst. No. No, that's perfect. That's exactly what the kid would say. Do you want to do it again? Yeah. Okay. Do it again. I think Oleander wants to take a stop there. Oh, shit. Okay. Yeah. That's bad. Also. What? What? No, that makes sense. What? Do it again. One more time.
I don't know what to say. This is how many times Billy has said it. Yeah. Try it one more time, buddy. No. We believe in you. No. I don't want to say it anymore. What don't you want to say? I don't want to say that we have to take a break. We have to take a look at the burning village because it feels stupid. So come up when you want to. You go back above deck and Oleander is standing there with Maggie and he looks at the three of you and says, we have to take a look at the burning village. See?
And he goes, you know, out here, it's always good to stop and look for salvage. You know, it sounds a little cold hearted, but if there's anything, there we can use, we should grab it. Yeah, man, we're totally down with grave robbing. Oh, sick. Okay, perfect. Yeah, we're going to go rob some graves. And if there are people there that need help, we can help them too.
So you get closer to the village and it is like a piece of shit rock, basically with like some grass, but mostly just a small collection of really shabby buildings with like a crappy jetty and some boats. Nothing is actively like on fire on fire, but there's a lot of smoldering. It looks like the snow has gone a long way to putting stuff out, but some of the buildings look like they're caved in and you see lumps, even from this distance that look like bodies. Under snow? Fuck.
Yeah, under like a layer of snow and Ollie drops anchor and is like, all right, who's, you guys want to come? Oh, yeah. I'll maybe hang back with Billy. Sure. Okay. Maggie goes, I'll come with you and Corinne's like, yeah, I'll come too. And Perilla's like, no thanks. Yeah. And I go, Billy, Billy, show me this feast that you made. Okay. It's a lot. So get ready. There's 44 courses. And it's all a sandwich. So we start at the bottom here. Course one, bread.
And Tuck is kind of just trying to distract Billy from like whatever fucked up thing is going on just in case it's too fucked up. Yeah. Yeah, totally. So Ving, you hop in a little boat and they row ashore and you step foot on this rock in the middle of the ocean. And yeah, you see what I described just a little bit closer. There are buildings. Most of them are destroyed. Some of them are smoldering and it seems like there are bodies of some fashion under the snow. Everybody's dead.
No one's alive that you can see. Discern realities. All right. 2d6 plus wisdom. Nine. Perfect. You get one question. What here is useful to me? What happened here recently? There we go. That makes more sense. I thought we were here to rob some graves, motherfucker. Yeah. Every like Ollie, Maggie and Kareem start like picking around. Ollie like nudges a body with his foot and goes, fuck, what happened here? And there are several human bodies. Some holding weights. Some holding weapons.
Um, mostly men and women of like adult age. Uh, but not as many as the buildings would suggest, which makes you think that either some people were taken or, uh, some people escaped. Hmm. But a couple of the other bodies, uh, strike you as extremely unusual. Uh, there's one that is much larger than the human bodies, uh, also covered in a layer of snow and another that is smaller, but of a very strange, uh, shape. Hmm. Let me check them out. Yeah.
So you, um, go and you wipe the snow off and it is, uh, a leopard seal. Hmm. And you wipe the snow off the other one and it's a sea lion and they have both died in a fight. It looks like what the heck didn't you have a vision of this? No. Did I, uh, you had a vision a while ago of jaws and dark eyes, uh, and the wall of fog. Yeah. The wall of fog. Oh shit. About the thing that travels in the fog. Wait. So are there any humans?
Yeah, there's a, there are humans, but it looks like they died fighting the animals. Sea mammals. Yeah. Is there tracks? Can I see tracks? Uh, you can see some tracks. There are boots here and there. You're looking at the tracks and you see a combination of, uh, human and sea mammal tracks. Uh, and then you're tracking one particular group of people that looked like they were just torn apart and the way that you're like able to track the movement and how things went down.
It looks like one particularly large animal was responsible for this whole group of people. And as you're following the tracks back to the ocean, they transition from huge flippers to large human footprints. Whoa. Hmm. Billy and tuck from the boat. Uh, in the distance you hear horns and that's where we're going to end it for this week. Oh God. Whoa. I've been your game master, Sean O'Hara joining me as always playing Tacoma dome, the barbarian Abdul Aziz.
