Spout Lore is a hilarious Actual Play podcast using the Dungeon World game system, brought to life by four award-winning comedians in Canada: Abdul Aziz, Paul Oppers, Shawn O’Hara, and Jessica Tai. If you’re looking for a collaborative storytelling experience that balances high fantasy with side-splitting improv comedy, you’ve found it.
Join three “mighty” “heroes” (Tuk the Barbarian, Vyng the half-elf Druid, and Fat Billie the nine-year-old Halfling Thief) as they bumble through a post-magic world.
This is a rules-light, character-driven journey where the setting is made up on the fly; evolving from ancient hotdog-based festivals to mythic beasts of terrible power.
Whether you’re a TTRPG veteran or a fan of D&D comedy podcasts like The Adventure Zone, NADDPOD, or Dimension 20, you’ll feel right at home at our table.
Spout Lore is improvised narrative at its best: made FOR best friends, BY best friends!

Gather round friends, 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 have health, he shifts his shape and wields a spear with great might 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 That is a really good theme song.
It's very good. It is spectacular. Welcome to Spout Lore. I'm your game master, Sean O'Hara, and with me today are Jessica, Abdul, and Paul. Hello everybody. And we're going to be continuing our game of Dungeon World. When last we left our heroes, you had basically come upon a ruined village and stolen a bunch of food from some goblins, and then you ran away. So you go through the bag of valuables and you find 20 coin. Nice. And you find a little…
Crystal cup that kept together somehow that also seems pretty valuable. Okay. Yeah. And a small leather bound book, but it doesn't appear to have any writing in it. Hmm. Yeah. Invisible ink or blank book. Who knows? And now you are back on the trail to the vault. Thanks to your guide, the tiny cat named Wicker. It's always you're noticing in the direction of a particular orange flower. After a couple days. The trees start to thin out. The ground starts to firm up a little bit.
The water looks a little clearer than it used to. And you see the edge of the swamps. The muddy track of the swamp transitions into a plank road. And ahead of you, you see what looks like a river. Like an actual clear flowing river. Something that you have been dealing with for a couple days now after the I'll-fated encounter with the goblins is Ving took a spear in the butt and he was able to get the!
And he's able to get the spear in the butt and he's able to get the The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The The It's not your butt. It's before your butt. No, but it's definitely my butt. Yeah. For me. Yeah. Yeah. So it's like that, but also I'm sleepy and feel really dumb. Okay. I think you might have used up your herbs and poultices. Used up? I'm asking. Two uses. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So no herbs and poultices.
Billy's out of golden root, which really isn't applicable for- I could use that right now. I'll take anything. Yeah. Right. But it's not really applicable for poison, unfortunately. And Dan, as you've come to realize, is more or less useless. So Ving has been poisoned. And now that you're out of the swamp, you're still dealing with a poisoned druid. So what do you guys do? I go up to the nearest willow tree and start biting at it. Is that going to do anything?
Just anything I can think of, all of my foraging knowledge is going to be slowing us down. He's going to delirious. Are you Ving shaped or are you still yak shaped? I'm slowly. I'm slowly going through all the ones. Oh, is it affecting your shape shifting? So you're kind of moving back and forth between a bunch of shapes? Yeah. Gross. Mostly my butt's still a yak. Like you're afraid to turn that back into Ving in case it does something weird with the poison?
One time I saw a guy get stung by a snake and then- Stung by a snake? Yeah, it was- With his mouth stingers? No, it had a butt stinger. It was a- It was one- It was- It was a bumble snake. I know, I'm happy with these existing. It's a bumble snake. Yeah, they- So is it- Does it have wings or is it like a fuzzy snake with stripes? No, it's a striped snake. They have wings but they can't fly. They're like a chicken. Yeah.
They have like leathery wings and they have like a stinger on the end of their tail. And they live in a slither hive, which is underground. This hive is made out of the- The skins that they shed? Yeah. Yeah, seasonally. I mean, I kind of like these things actually. They're kind of cool. That's what everyone says. If they sing you, they die. And then that's sad. Also, you die too. And that's sad. So what was the- What was the- Where was the story going?
I saw a guy get stung by a slither, a bumble slith. Bumble snake. Bumble. There's a lot of names. Bumble slith is the scientific name. Scientific name for them. Of course. Yes. Anyway. From the Latin bumble, which means to bumble. Bumble is the phylum and slither is the class. Sounds great. All right. So what's Tuck trying to say? Let me suck your butt. Yeah. That's what I- Actually, where I was going. Let me suck your butt.
I saw a guy get stung by a bumble snake and- And I want to suck your butt. Yeah. Someone sucked the venom out of- Out of his stinger. I should say that you don't know what kind of poison this is. So- So you might not want to suck it? Yeah. You might not want poison in your mouth. Do we have anything I can put- That's more of like a venom thing. Wait. Isn't it? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Yeah. Wait. Do we have like a leather, kind of a leather thing I can put over my mouth? Oh.
Like a mouth dental dam? Oh, we have that crystal cup. You do have a crystal cup? You could cup it. We could cup it. Cup. Yeah. Heat it. That's what we should do. Okay. Tuck. Let's make a little fire and then we'll heat up this cup and hopefully it doesn't break. Oh. I see. Cup mouth. How do you know how to do this? Because of science. Wait. I don't understand what we're doing. What are we doing? Cupping. You heat up- It's like you heat up a cup and you put it on a part of the body.
Creates a vacuum. Oh. Yeah. Well, let's do that then. Yeah. Good plan, Billy. But you got- Okay. This is- I was just going to suck his butt. So this is way better. Well, try it your way first. I don't know if this is something that Billy would necessarily know. He doesn't know how to do. He knows generally how to do it, but he doesn't really understand how it works. Yeah. So he kind of does like a little incantation or a dance or something to try to help it along. Okay.
So it'll be 2d6 plus intelligence. Plus your intelligence. Eight. Eight. So partial success. On a partial success with a defy danger, the GM will offer you a worse outcome, hard bargain, or ugly choice. So you lay Ving down on the ground. You stoke up a little fire. Get his butt out. Are we going to burn his butt? It's a risk that I'm willing to take. Okay. Should I rhinoceros up my butt? No, I'll just hold you down so that you don't squirm around. Don't make- Please don't stop making noise.
Oh, you're so heavy. Ving, please stop. Okay. So what would be- What if he doesn't know that you have to take the cup off? Yeah. So I'm like, okay, there you go. Hold this cup on your butt? I'm just like, is part of you now? So if Gil's in a cup. Like he's just going to have a crystal growth on his butt? Well, it just like, I'll just keep it there. And then like some of the poison just sits in the cup. Like you have to leave it on. Okay. Yeah. That'll suck back in.
But like, you're fine right now, but if you don't get help in the next like day, it's going to be really bad. Okay. Yeah. So you're okay. Well, let's make it a priority to find like a healer. Also yeah. You won't be able to change shape. That's what the thing is. You've got to hold this thing. So you won't be able to change shape until you get something done. Okay. That's the problem. Also, what's the weather like today? It's kind of overcast. It's like kind of windy. It's kind of beautiful.
Especially since you left the swamp. It's a very welcome change of the scene here. Yeah. It's actual fresh air. So you get to- Wait, Billy, look. I made a necklace out of these flowers. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I found. Wow. It's nice. Can you describe it to me? Because I'm not looking. It's like I alternated daisies and dandelions. Wow. I think it makes me look pretty. Bing, what do you think? It's beautiful. I mean, it's not, it's way too big for Billy. Yeah. I made it for me.
Well, I don't like it anymore then. Oh, okay. I'll wear it. Well, I made it for me though. Why is everyone upset about this? I just did this for myself. Dan just chimes in. So you made a necklace that you think is really cool, but you didn't make it for anybody and you didn't make any more necklaces? That's fine. Whatever. That's fine. I feel like this is, I feel like I'm being indicted for literally doing something that has no effect on anybody else.
Yeah, but bringing it up like it was- I'm going to make something for myself. Yeah. I'm just saying that it's kind of braggy. It's kind of braggy. Maybe it's a practice necklace for your friends. Making everyone else's. I can make more for you guys if you want. That's what we're saying. That's what I like to hear. That's what we like to hear. Do you guys want lanyards or bracelets? Oh my God. Or necklaces? It's too late. I already made myself a hula skirt. Oh, nice.
Okay, so Billy's wearing a grass skirt now? Yeah. Nice. Just like really shittily made. You look good though. Whatever. Why is everybody mad at me? Wow, Billy. All right. All right, you carry on and you get to like the river's edge and it's flowing and it's clear and it's beautiful. It's probably 10 meters across in both directions. It's sort of grass. It's grassland, small forests here and there in the distance and a mountain range that's far away. Are there any animals around?
What are you looking for? I'm just wondering. There's like birds. Oh, nice. You know, and then you maybe spy a deer in the distance. That bird over there is just complimenting your necklace, Billy. My skirt, you mean? Your skirt. Oh, thank you. I'm all delusional. I know. It's okay. I got this cup on my butt. I'm sorry, Bing. I feel sick. Thanks. So you get to the river's edge and you notice that there is no birds. What? There was a bridge and it's been washed out. Oh, man.
So you see like the piles where the bridge was like built on either side and you see some boards on either end, but then just water, Russian water. How deep is the river? You can't tell from here, but it looks like it's probably too deep to walk across. Is there any like rocks that are jutting out? That's a great question. How about you discern realities? So that's a 2D6 plus wisdom. Bing's just kind of just like, oh, I'm going to go to the river. I'm going to go to the river.
I'm going to go to the river. I'm going to go to the river. I'm going to go to the river. I'm going to go to the river. I'm going to go to the river. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge.
There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge. There's a bridge.
Not what it appears to be uh what here is useful or valuable to me okay a little bit further down uh the river you see some plants jutting up out of a section of the river with like a rock it's kind of like this eddy around this one stone and you think that if you were to cross you would have a chance to walk across like you wouldn't have to swim so it wouldn't be as dangerous but you'd still have to walk through the current of the river but you think that that's like a fording point hey guys let's go over there to the fording point good eye billy no problem I'm really liking this audio play cadence I don't know no you're doing great can you keep walking or do you need someone to carry you I'll be fine crab half of my body hummingbird other half circle circle circle maybe we should lift him up not me I'm not big enough dan says should we get him on daisy you I can walk I'm I'd rather not but I'm also not poisoned dan get off the horse okay no I'll be fine and then he uh maybe you should maybe you should get on the horse oh a horse all right I'm gonna pick you up and put you on the horse now oh you're strong dan help me okay and dan kind of helps you struggles to help you put ving on on daisy you make it to the fording point and to get across uh anybody that is walking across is gonna have to make a defy danger okay defy danger strength so 2d6 plus your strength d6 plus d6 roll it got a 10 yep so that is a success um is any who is anybody else walking I'm riding daisy dan will be walking uh billy is really small can I have a ride tuck yeah get on my shoulders thank you okay yeah so you have wicker and you can walk and you can walk and you can walk and you can walk and you can walk and you can walk and you can walk and you can walk and you can walk and you can walk and you can walk On your shoulders.
And I feel like a pirate. Or like a ship. No, just a pirate. I think it feels like the world is my ship. Hey, look at this. Look at me put my leg up on this rock. And then, Billy, can you make like a parrot sound? Hoo-hoo. Nice. Parrot. Billy's never seen a parrot. I don't know. No, that's exactly what they sound like in this world. Yeah. Hoo-hoo. Actually, I guess, yeah, I guess Billy's never seen one, but I guess Tuck's probably seen a parrot before. It was close.
And so Dan sticks close to you, and he drags Daisy along with a vang on his back, and you guys cross the river successfully. But Daisy, she doesn't like the water at all. No? So I'm trying to dangle a carrot in front of her, but she doesn't like carrots either, so then I have to dangle it behind her. Motivates her through the water. Yeah, you see Daisy cross the river successfully trying to get away, from a carrot, I think is the implication. She's an idiot. She's not a very smart horse. No, no.
Most of them aren't. But you guys crossed the river successfully. Yeah. Congratulations. You did it. Now you're on the other side of the river. And on this side, the grass is soft. The few trees that you see around you are kind of singular trees, but they're blowing in the wind. There's a willow tree kind of waving its little tendrils. Are they called tendrils? The little tendrils on the willow tree.
Wicker says that you're still, like she hops down and you see her underneath one of the willow trees, she finds a clump of one of those orange flowers. Wait, can you ask Wicker how close we are to the place that we're going? Sure. Yes, the beautiful language of cats. I don't think he can right now. Yeah, that's a rooster noise for sure. Oh. I flop off Daisy and go eat the orange flower. Oh. On all fours. Oh. Should I stop him? I gotta stop him. Oh, we should stop him. I probably.
I'm going towards it like this. So you have a chance. I gotta pick him up. And just, yeah. Hold him. But she, yeah, she keeps walking and she stops and she looks back and she meows again. And you can hear that she's saying this way. Should I scout ahead or anything like that? Yeah, so you don't really need to make a roll for that. You see that over the next rise, another branch of the river, it looks like it kind of flows back around a little bit and you see a cluster of buildings. Oh, cool.
Ooh. Wait, before we go, can I use my wide wanderer move to figure out something about this area? Potentially. Wide wanderer is for important traditions, rituals, and so on and so on. So what do you want to know? Like who the native peoples are, what their religions and beliefs are. That's a lot of questions. Let me try and narrow it down. Yeah, narrow it down a little bit. Just tell me everything about this community. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. There's a ton of fun.
Um, this is, uh, they call it Bullrush Village and it's just a small fishing village on, um, what's this river called? Bullrush River. Bullrush River. Bullrush Village on Bullrush River. Cool. So yeah, it's just a small fishing village and they get by, by subsistence fishing. They trade a little bit with nearby villages. People used to come through here to get to the swamps and the places beyond.
And that doesn't really happen so much anymore since the swamps sort of started getting more and more dangerous. There's a city that's like two or three days travel from here. Uh, what is this city called? Okay. No, here's what we'll do. Okay. So we say it at the same time. Look at my mouth. The city is called Largeburg. Largeburg. The city is called Largeburg. Okay. Largeburg. Largeburg. L-A-R-G. L-A-R-G. B-U-R-G. Throw some Y's in there. Umlauts. Leersburg. Yes. Leersburg. Leierburg.
Leierburg. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. Largeburg. Largeburg. Uh, okay. So. Yes. Largeburg. Let me write down Largeburg. Largeburg. High vote no. Largeburg is annoying to say. Okay. Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine. I will generate a name with a random name generator and that. Unionston. Ranta. Ranta. Ranta. Yes. They still rant. At Ranta. Well, Jessica's downvoting all the names. You come up with a name. No, I'm sorry. No, it's fine. No, that's fine. You come up with a name. It's fine. Jessica.
That's fine. No, no, no. No, I don't want to. I want to know. No, Billy's having a bad day. If our names are not good, I would like to know what is a good name. Please. No, I want to see this happen. I don't want to. Three. Yes. Two. One. One. She's not into it. Not into it. Okay. The next thing you say. What about? It will be the name of the town. Atrum. Mantra. Atrum. Maybe. Okay. Does it need to be something fantasy? Florida. Yes. Florida. Florida. What's like a fantasy-ish? Oh, yeah.
Something EM. Or like a. Fringe. Fringe. Like an adjective noun city. Adjective. Oh, yeah. Like it ends in L-Y? High Spears. That's good. High Spears. Largeburg. That's a good adjective noun. Pretty good, actually. I wish we had come up with that a few minutes ago. I do like High Spear. High Spear City. Yes. Let's go with High Spear. Jessica. High Spear. High Spear is a good name for a city. High Spear. High Spear. And it's up on a hill. High Spearites? High Spearians. High Spearions.
High Spearions. High Spearions. Oh, yeah. They sound kind of like. You're the High Spearions. Yeah. They sound like the. We train on Sunday. They sound like Gerard Butler. Yes. We are the 300 High Spearions. There's only 25 of us. It's me, Gerard Butler from 300, and this is definitely Italy. Can I come up with a theme song for High Spear? Yeah, but not right now. Oh. Because I have questions I want to ask you guys, and your theme songs are always three minutes long.
I promise it won't be more than 20 seconds. I promise, guys. Fine. Fine. Fine. 20 seconds. I promise. Can someone put a timer on? Hello, everybody. Welcome to High Spear. Welcome to High Spear, where we go to tell an area, walk into a river, too. Welcome to High Spear. This is a way that we give a welcome to our people from outside the city of High Spear. Bum, bum, bum, bum. High Spear. Check out our water park. They got you. They got you. They got you. They got you. They got you. They got you.
They got you. They got you. They got you. They got you. So is this like Tacoma remembered the song for High Spear? It's like, this is how it goes. Everyone loves High Spear. Come on down to High Spear. Spend some money on some churros. So what I was going to ask you. Get some motherfucking churros. High Spear. You said 20 seconds ago. Now that's over 20 seconds. I'm so sorry. So this is what I was going to ask.
I want you guys to help me build, because this is just a place that you might end up going later. High Spear City is most well known for Abdul in the water park. Okay. There's water parks. It's got a giant mall with a water park inside it. Whoa. Cool. Yes. It's called High Spear Mall. Yeah. It's called West High Spear Mall. It's got great ration court for mall West High Spear Mall. Like a food court in this world. The ration court. Not all food is rations. I should say. I should point out.
You guys have eaten lots of non ration food. Yes, but it is a giant bazaar. It's only dried out crackers and potted beef. And okay. Last question is there is something left over that used to be an amazing piece of technology when the Wizards were there and now it doesn't work anymore. And that thing is Jessica. Is there like a correct answer? No, you're making it up. What amazing piece of magical technology used to exist in High Spear City and doesn't work anymore, but it's still there.
Oh, I know that. There's a chocolate factory in the mall and they have these special elevators. No, no, no. Hear me out. Yeah. Yeah. You go. Okay. And then when they shut them all down, like the elevator just kind of stopped working wherever they were. So there's all these elevators are just like flowed like kind of floating midair in these certain places and no one can get on them. So this mall is shut down to know is the mall still open or is there a chocolate factory when the Wizards left?
Oh, the chocolate factory. Stopped working and the elevator stopped working to yes. Of rancid chocolate that they can't get rid of because it's only access by accessible by elevator. Yeah, or the HVAC system like you could go through the ducts Magic Chocolate Factory put the HVAC thing in there to rancid chocolate Lake. It's an infinite loop of rotten chocolate and what was that was the other thing the HVAC. Yeah, you can go through the ventilation system to get.
Get into the rancid Lake of chocolate the brown ring. They call it please explain that joke to me the brown ring like a butthole chocolate ring. We said it's an infinity loop of rancid chocolate. How are you not thinking about buttholes right now? I'm sorry. Paul thinks about butts a lot. All right. Well, that's true. So yeah, that's what you know about nearby. I spear City and Bull Rush Village. We should maybe go try and see if there's a healer in that community.
Yeah, so you you walk a little bit further and eventually you come to this village. It's a village village like whereas mudlark was more of like a medium to small size town. This is like a tiny village. There are all clapboard buildings. They're clustered mostly around the river. This is obviously some kind of small fishing village and it looks like it's mostly people drying fish and cleaning clothes and is there anyone nearby we can talk to there's a middle-aged woman.
And she's weaving things out of grass. What's her hair color? Yeah, what does she look like? She's sort of lean and she's got kind of dark skin and short hair and she's wearing a very simple homespun dress with like a cord tied around the middle and she's wearing very simple slippers. Okay, and she's weaving almost like fabric out of grass. I could go up to her because I'm replete in my grass skirt. Hi there. Where are you? Where are you coming from? Hello. We're coming from the swamp, I guess.
Oh, you came from that horrible place. She like gets down on her knees and she's like, oh you look at you. You little you cute little thing. You thank you. Look at your little grass skirt. What were you doing in that dangerous swamp? And she looks up at tuck and goes, why would you let this boy wander around in that dangerous place? Well, we is a long story, but we we took a commission to go take this guy Dan. He owns a food cart.
Dan says hi and we took him into the town of mudlark for the hot dog Festival. She goes, you know what? You know what? You look like you've been on the road for a long time. Okay, let me try and make it concise. No, no, no, no, no. My name is Tacoma and I'm originally from Macau, but I am not originally originally from Macau. I don't know where my parents are from. I was raised by a man named Bruce. She she as you're talking.
She walks up to like Dan and Billy and she says do you guys want something to eat? Yeah. Yes, let's do it. Let's do that. Wait, but then I look at Ving but that but before I follow her for food, I'm like I point Ving. I'm like he's been poisoned. Is there a doctor or a healer around and she yeah, she looks at Ving and sees that you look like you're dying. Well, we'll get we'll get you to the hall. We should be able to find somebody. Come on. God bless you, sir. Okay. My name is Tacoma.
By the way. I don't know. I don't think I introduced myself. She says no, that's fine. That was the literally the first thing that you told me. Well, it's Tacoma Dome. Don't forget it. And then I wink at her. That's wonderful. My name is Alec E and we'll we'll get you all set up. Okay, Tacoma. Thank you. No problem. So she like takes Billy's hand and starts walking that makes Billy a little nervous. But only because he doesn't know how to react. So he just is very stiff. Okay.
She takes you to the central building in the village, which is. A fairly large long Hall like a Viking Hall kind of where it's a long building that's all the way open and there's a fire pit in the middle and there are people eating and talking kids playing and she sits you down at a table and she brings you bowls of stew with fish in it and vegetables and some green onions or something something that tastes like what we would understand to be green onions. You don't know what they are though.
It's pretty tasty fantasy West. After. Keep. Reminding people. It's a world unlike our own. And she says, all right, I'll go and see if I can find someone to take a look at your friend here. Alec. He hustles off and you guys are left with the people of this village. Is there anything you want to do while you're waiting? I guess we talked to them. You guys want to talk? What do you want to know? I'm just like what what the vibe is what the vibe is. Okay, cool.
So you want to know about like traditions and stuff. Mm-hmm. So they bury their dead. In a like communal tomb, which is sort of outside the village and it's underground. It's like I'm like a crypt not just a hole in the ground with pile of bodies. And are there any tales associated with this crypt? Well, I mean the usual with crypts like hauntings. Yes, and that's pretty much it like unquiet spirits. Okay, cool. And I don't want to go there. Okay. Well, you're in really sick.
I just you're in no, I'm just a little worried because we're talking about tombs. Yeah. I hear you guys talking about. What this tomb a lot of like and I think that maybe I might be dying. Yeah, we're getting excited about their tomb, but you know what? We haven't stopped thinking about buddy is your ass this cup on my butt in the poison inside of it, but Billy we should definitely go to that to him though.
Yeah, we should maybe like when things better so we don't like because he's starting to like starting to get scared. I think he might have beat himself a little bit. Hot in here. You guys hot. I know his he is like he's got the mouth of a dog. And the eyes of a man and it is fucking terrified. I didn't want to say anything but yeah, and he also smells pretty bad right now. It's been so hard to look at him.
All right, and so Alec he comes back and she's got an older woman and she's got like gray hair that's hanging down in like several braids and some of the braids are braided into each other. Alec. He says this is who dear and she is. Sort of the the herbalist of the town. Oh, thank God. Yeah, I can smell an herbalist in the room finger. You blind now. I can smell it my mouth. Oh God. Yak sound throat is the only thing that was transformed into a yak. Can you please help our friend?
We think he's dying. Oh and who do is like, oh, yes. Yes, of course. I'll come here. Come here. Come here young man. Come here. I'm hey, hey Daisy. Hey, come here. Yeah, she's just saying that she's approaching you but she keeps going. Hey, come here. I'm here. I'm I'm please. Here. I am. Hey looking around the room guys. Where'd you get hurt? Where is it? I am back here under this cup in my butt. And she looks down. She like crutches down by your butt and she like is looking at the cup.
What what is why did? Who did this? Billy just like how looks around like way to not just waiting and I tuck does a thing where he like kind of stretches and points at Billy and she goes because this is pretty ingenious. I got to say thanks and then does a thing where you turn this the thumb back to himself and then he points with both fingers at his face. She says it's localized the poison into this part of a part of the butt. It's going to make it a lot easier.
But I'm glad that you made it here when you did because another day and this would have been a quite a sticky situation. What a million shot doc one million shot and she says, all right, I'm going to I'm going to take a look at your friend, but he's going to need the rest of the day to rest up maybe more but we'll check. We'll take a look in the morning. Thank you. And she starts like pulling stuff out of her bag.
She's got leaves and and roots and berries and she's kind of mushing them up and throws one in her mouth that she chews them up. And then she she pulls the cup off and she like takes out of the mash out of her mouth and presses it onto your butt. Oh, and she takes some cloth that she had and she ties it around your waist holding the poultice against your butt and she ties it off. She says no, no, no, no vigorous activity for the rest of the day down and rest. Get some get some good sleep.
Get some good sleep. I do. I feel extremely tired. Get some good sleep and we'll check on you in the morning. I'm going to go to bed. I'm going to go to bed. I'm going to go to bed. I'm going to go to bed. I'm going to go to bed. Make sure he gets some good sleep. Okay, we will thank you who dare you're welcome and she sort of backs out but looks at you the whole time. She's backing out of the room but keeping eye contact. Wow.
So Alec he asked whisker wicker to follow her wicker to stay close to her. I want to know where she lives wicker looks at you like why I guess I just want to be able to repay her the debt. What's in it for me wicker asks. Hmm. Hmm. Whatever present I give to her. I'll give one to you parlay you parlay with this cat duty six plus your charisma for four. That is a failure.
Mark one experience wicker seems really offended that you would even ask she what she gets up and she is starting to walk away off the table that she was sitting on and she looks and she says I belong to no one and she hops and she runs out of the out of the room. She's like, I don't know. I don't know. I'm out of the hall. She just she's left Billy runs after okay by the time you get out there.
She she's not insight and then he like falls down to his knees and he's like and like his little fists and he's like wicker. So ends the tale of adventures three who tried the best they can though dumb and scared and lost maybe for times of rest in revelry. Revelry And though our journey may be like a conclusion We will not leave you without a resolution Return next week to hear some more whilst you commute or do your chores and for you I'd gladly spell dawn
