Ep. 11
Blouter's Journal
Our triumph over the orcs at Big Gay Al's led to an unexpected challenge. While dining on the crab meat from the crustacean creatures we had defeated, all of us, except for Bjorn the stalwart dwarf, succumbed to illness. It was a humbling experience, reminding us that danger comes in various forms, not all of which can be countered with sword or spell.
The journey back to Phandalin was further complicated by an ambush from opportunistic bandits. Despite our weakened state, we managed to fend them off, a testament to our growing resilience and unity as a party. These encounters on the road, though perilous, only served to strengthen our bond.
In a moment of camaraderie, Bjorn gifted me an unbreakable pipe, a small but meaningful gesture that underscored the unexpected friendships forged on our journey. As I write this, the pipe lies beside me, a reminder of the shared trials and kinship that continue to define our path.
Episode Transcript
Jimmy
Everybody. Continuing the D&D game tonight, we're down a couple members, uh, because they got moving woes to take care of and other things so.
Blouter
What, he said. Yeah.
Bjorn
How's everybody doing, boys?
Blouter
Ready to fucking kick some ass?
Jimmy
I think I think y'all are done kicking ass, if I remember correctly.
Blouter
Uh, I think so, too.
Bjorn
Yeah, we fucked up the whole house.
Jimmy
Yeah. Um, and then we abruptly ended because people had to skedaddle, so. Yeah.
Blouter
Yeah, it was like fucking midnight, and I was tired. Gotta go to bed.
Jimmy
Sparks.
Speaker E
Light him up.
Jimmy
Why'd that sound so quiet?
Dobblebobble
What do you do?
Blouter
Sporks. Uh oh. Jimmy's lost.
Jimmy
I was a little lost just because, like, my audio. Just, like, docked really, really low real quick. And I was like, huh? And I don't know what's going on.
Blouter
So, uh, tonight we're doing the the futuristic crossover, right? I got an invisibility gun.
Jimmy
You got a what?
Blouter
An invisibility gun. Oh.
Speaker E
Oh.
Jimmy
Uh. So get yourself.
Dobblebobble
Situated.
Jimmy
You guys, I don't know what the hell it was. I don't know. We'll see. Everything looks like. I mean, go ahead. And you guys look like you're coming through on my stream and shit, so should be working. Um, you guys killed all the orcs. Um, we're going to say, um, non collapse exhausted after the battle. Assuming you guys threw his ass in the cart.
Blouter
Damn straight. With a quickness.
Jimmy
Uh, and.
Dobblebobble
Free to do so.
Jimmy
You are free to do so.
Dobblebobble
I'm gonna just real, real quick. I'm just gonna sell two first level slots to get my four sorcery points back.
Jimmy
You're going to do what?
Dobblebobble
I'm going to sell two of.
Jimmy
It doesn't work that way.
Dobblebobble
Yeah, it goes both ways.
Jimmy
Does it? Yeah. That seems a little op.
Dobblebobble
Double check. Sacrifice spell slots to gain additional sorcery points.
Speaker E
Okay.
Dobblebobble
Spell slot level. Level one gets me two points. So I casted those two or sacrificed two to get my four back. And then I'm going to take a short rest. If that's cool.
Jimmy
I don't know. I don't know if that's cool, sir. We'll have to see what the dice say.
Speaker E
What do you want me to roll?
Jimmy
It's not your roll. It's mine. Don't worry about it. Oh. Okay? Yeah. You're fine, you're fine. You're fine to take a short rest, I guess. Cool. But you still hear scraping and banging in the cellar.
Dobblebobble
Oh. That's okay. It's.
Bjorn
You gotta make it, dude.
Jimmy
So. Right. Highly unlikely.
Blouter
I don't know what the fuck Jimmy's doing over there.
Speaker E
Man.
Jimmy
Yeah, my dice set up. Sorry. I got too many things to do.
Speaker E
I just wanted us to.
Blouter
Not being ready.
Jimmy
Yeah. That's okay. A little bit of setup can happen on on the stream.
Speaker F
That's the one.
Jimmy
Time. What do you guys want to do? Like. We're waiting on Ben.
Dobblebobble
I'm good. I took my short rest.
Speaker E
All right.
Bjorn
That wasn't enough.
Speaker E
Exactly.
Jimmy
Every other time, though. You said that, huh? You should still have a map.
Dobblebobble
I got the map.
Blouter
Okay, well, I'm gonna go outside and go to the basement door.
Jimmy
Okay.
Bjorn
My character is going to finish picking up all his weapons he threw into all the dead orcs and loaded.
Jimmy
Okay.
Speaker G
My little scared pussy.
Jimmy
So, as you guys, um, reached the cellar door, you see, it's not locked or anything. Um. You swing it open. And this? The cellar has dirt floors, walls of mortar, stone, and an eight foot high plank ceiling, so it's pretty tall for a cellar. Um, tied to a chair is a large figure that is squirming and basically tipped himself over at this point. Um. Shelves along the walls are lined with skulls made of butter and protected by a thin coating of wax.
Blouter
Skulls made of butter. Yep.
Jimmy
Butter skull ranch.
Blouter
Okay, not where I expected that to go.
Bjorn
Me either.
Jimmy
As written, sir.
Blouter
As written.
Bjorn
Interesting.
Blouter
All right. Um, when they looked in there. What else? What else was in the room? Yeah. I'm sorry. Ben. Go ahead.
Dobblebobble
No, I was going to ask. Were you guys able to see when you went down there? What was making that noise? I didn't hear him describe anything that would make a noise.
Bjorn
Big hail.
Jimmy
The man. Square his chair, that is. Oh, in the chair.
Dobblebobble
Sorry. My bad. My bad.
Blouter
Um, so. Yes, I guess I'm gonna. I'm going to look at the man in the chair, and I'm going to try to assess the man in the chair.
Jimmy
Okay. Um, you see, he is pretty fucked up. The orcs were pretty good. Um. If you had to guess, you'd say he'd probably really appreciate a heel. And, um. Yeah, he's just kind of bounding the chair. You he he he's a big, intimidating man. Um. Yeah. That's. That's what you get. I snagged, so.
Bjorn
I stepped toward the bound and gagged man to the chair, and I pull out a dagger. Then I, Maddie.
Blouter
With murder hobo again.
Bjorn
I leaned down really close to him. With my off hand, I produce a healing potion. I cut the bands on his hands.
Blouter
Are louder. Louder. Is is gonna stare incredulously at Bjorn because he can't believe what the fuck just happened.
Jimmy
Okay. So, um. Big thanks. Hey. Thanks. He thanks you for the healing potion and the freedom. Um, he's gonna be like, oh, man, those orcs came out of nowhere. They, uh. They. They caught us by surprise. Killed all my ranch hands. Uh, let my animals free. And, uh, man, I don't know if I can turn a profit anymore.
Bjorn
Well, if it's any comfort, um, your home is littered in dead orgs.
Jimmy
Well, I mean, I'm sure it's a mess to clean up, but at least I don't got to worry about them beating me no more.
Blouter
Um. Quick question. Uh, what exactly does our our guild paper say?
Jimmy
Oh, that's not the one I'm using as a bookmark for some reason. Um, give me one second. Let me find it in the book.
Bjorn
See, guys, I'm not always murder hobo ish orcs.
Jimmy
So so so the paper from the guild reads orcs have attacked Butter Skull Ranch five miles east of Cannonbury along the tribal trail. Travel there with haste, assess the damage and help any way you can. Ranch owner Alphonse Big Al Carlson is a retired sheriff who can reward you for your efforts if he's dead. Return to town. Master Harbin Wester, with proof of his death to receive a reward of 100 gold pieces if the characters. Okay. Yeah. And if you're alive. Huh?
Blouter
If he's alive, what do we do?
Jimmy
Help them in any way you can.
Blouter
So, like, take care of the orcs and off we go.
Jimmy
I mean, you could.
Blouter
Are we are we trying to get this guy's animals back? That's what I'm trying to figure out.
Jimmy
Well, I mean.
Dobblebobble
I was going to ask, do I hear them talking while I'm on the first floor?
Jimmy
A rolling a perception.
Dobblebobble
16.
Jimmy
You hear muffled talking, but you can't quite understand what you know they're saying.
Dobblebobble
Can I tell that it's a different voice?
Jimmy
You can tell somebody that's not in your party is talking. Yes.
Dobblebobble
Awesome. So I'm gonna cast just prestidigitation on those horse tags. They have his marking on it. So that it appears that there are horses.
Bjorn
It might just give us the horses.
Speaker E
Press it.
Jimmy
Just press.
Speaker E
To make.
Dobblebobble
An illusion.
Jimmy
You can make an illusory effect, not like an actual illusion. I think is what it is. Like rustling colors.
Dobblebobble
Small mark or symbol appear on an object for a surface for one hour.
Blouter
Yeah. I mean.
Speaker E
Okay.
Jimmy
So so describe to me what you're going to make the brand look like. So they, they he thinks that they're not his horses anymore.
Dobblebobble
So I'm going to use the same symbol that my character saw on the, uh, the pieces of wood I bought off that traveler.
Speaker E
Yeah.
Dobblebobble
He's that simple.
Jimmy
Okay.
Blouter
And now we have a symbol for the group.
Jimmy
Um, you know, I might, I might, I might have some stuff to help kill a dragon around. If you guys could help me find my cow.
Blouter
Uh, what kind of stuff could help kill a dragon?
Speaker E
Deal.
Jimmy
Some mithril chainmail that I've been saving for a rainy day.
Blouter
What size is it?
Jimmy
Great question. My it is a great question. So it's enough to go around.
Blouter
All right. I got one more question for you. Sure. How are you feeling today?
Jimmy
Not high enough.
Blouter
No, that's not the answer. BGR. BGR! How are you feeling today?
Jimmy
I don't know this reference you were speaking of.
Blouter
So you don't know who big Gay al is? No, you're not super. Thanks for asking.
Speaker E
No, super.
Blouter
Today you're not so super and happy and gay.
Jimmy
No, I, I mean, I kind of get the, the, the the reference, but I, you know, I did not watch it nearly as much as you guys. Apparently.
Blouter
I'm awestruck. Chat, if you're here right now, I need you to talk to Jimmy and just explain to him what life is. I'm. I'm upset right now. Fine, fine. Let's go get your cow. Do you have any idea where your cow might be?
Dobblebobble
Are they still in the basement talking?
Jimmy
Uh, yeah.
Speaker E
Okay.
Jimmy
Did you want to do something while they're talking?
Dobblebobble
Um, I guess I will go join them, but I won't be able to contribute to that. Uh, question. But yeah, I'll log in the basement.
Speaker E
Hey, guys. Oh, it's Big Al feeling super.
Blouter
No he's not.
Speaker E
Oh, my God, it's a talking hat.
Jimmy
What the fuck?
Blouter
Louder says very bluntly. No, he is not super.
Speaker E
What are we are this big house.
Bjorn
So what do we gotta do?
Jimmy
Uh, I mean, I my my my prize winning dairy cow was missing after the orcs. Let it let it go. And, I mean, I can hire new ranch hands, but, like, I can't I can't get another Betsy.
Speaker E
Or. Yo, you guys are you remember when.
Bjorn
We were coming down the trail or trail? We, uh, saw that cow.
Speaker E
You think that's a cow?
Blouter
Uh, yeah.
Bjorn
Chances are, if he's looking for a cow. When we saw a cow.
Speaker H
If I remember right, it was like it was right off the trail. Down to the. Yeah.
Blouter
We should, uh.
Speaker E
We should see it.
Jimmy
Yay! Somebody remembered the cow.
Blouter
Uh, yeah, actually. Good call. Ben. Uh, can my can my hawk actually locate that thing?
Jimmy
We're only 86.
Blouter
A straight d6. Yep. Roll me a d6, Y is six.
Jimmy
That's how the book wants it rolled. I don't understand either, but.
Blouter
Okay. Well it was a one.
Jimmy
Yeah. So that's, that's that's going to be a no. Your hawk could not find him. Care to search?
Blouter
Yeah. I feel like my hawk should have advantage.
Dobblebobble
Being in the air.
Blouter
Yeah.
Jimmy
So it's basically, basically, you're supposed to be combing. Combing the countryside for every hour. You're supposed to roll a d6 to see if you spotted the cow.
Blouter
Well, here's the thing, though, is we already know where it is.
Jimmy
Well, yeah, you knew where it was when you drove past it, but it's been a number of hours now, so it wandered again.
Blouter
Have you met a cow?
Speaker E
They don't wander.
Blouter
Far. Yeah, they don't wander very far.
Dobblebobble
Should have tipped.
Speaker E
It.
Jimmy
When they just washed their whole ranch. Go up in a blaze, basically. Uh, yeah, I think Kyle got the fuck out.
Blouter
I got a four. I got a four.
Jimmy
Okay. Yeah. So you you're your hawk finally spots the cow, and it is, um, no longer in the cornfield where it was. And it's going to be, um, a little ways down the tribal trail. Um, just just grazing in the meadow.
Blouter
All right.
Speaker E
Party.
Blouter
We must go with swiftness.
Bjorn
I agree.
Speaker E
We.
Dobblebobble
Should grab some.
Speaker H
Stuff to help bring the cow back though. Maybe like a lasso or something?
Speaker E
No. I was.
Blouter
I was just going to put it on the floating disc.
Speaker E
That works.
Bjorn
I ride the cow.
Blouter
Who? I will ride the cow.
Speaker E
It can't be.
Dobblebobble
Can I take care of Big Al in his injuries while they go and deal with that cow?
Bjorn
Uh, I think Big Gal would love if he stopped and stayed and took care of all of his injuries. He might feel super.
Speaker H
I just cleaned out his room. I mean, make the bed clean, the work off the wall. It'll be good as new.
Blouter
I can't believe you didn't get that reference. Jimmy. I'm still upset.
Jimmy
Like I said, I got I.
Bjorn
Got the reference and I don't I hardly watched South Park.
Jimmy
That's what I'm saying like I. Barely watch South Park. So.
Bjorn
All righty. Onward. We go to collect the cow. Uh. By the way, the healing potion I gave him was a greater healing potion.
Jimmy
So, yeah, he's, uh. He's feeling pretty good. Um. Well, I mean, you're so. So he's going to be talking to, uh, devil devil real quick, and he's going to say, like your friend, your friend's healing potion, like, I'm I'm feeling really good. But, uh, if you want, you can. Yeah, you can help me, uh, take stock around the farm and get stuff fixed up.
Speaker H
Yeah, you got it. I'm really good at tinkering, and I got my own store. If I haven't told everybody, like, a million times.
Blouter
He's told us as I'm leaving the basement.
Speaker E
Uh.
Jimmy
Um.
Dobblebobble
Is there anything specific you for having me do or.
Speaker E
The.
Jimmy
Uh, not really. He's just, like, going around, like checking, like. The fence and stuff, seeing like, make sure like the orcs didn't, like, completely ruin the fence. Um, you help him, you help him for like, an hour or two, just fixing a couple spots that were broken up. And, um, you guys find the cabin? Probably returning it about then, too.
Dobblebobble
So it was a prized dairy cow?
Jimmy
Yes. Yes it was. Oh, yeah. How long she. Prestidigitation?
Speaker E
Uh, one hour.
Dobblebobble
An hour.
Speaker E
Okay.
Jimmy
Um, yeah. So you got. And when you guys get back with this cow, he's gonna, uh, run up crying to his cow. Petunia. Oh, Petunia. Petunia, I thought it I thought I thought you were a goner.
Bjorn
And thought it was Betsy.
Jimmy
It's Petunia in the book. Okay, I double checked when I, you know, said Betsy, Betsy or Petunia. Petunia. Okay. It's cow. It's a cow. It's a surprise cow. He doesn't care what he named it. No cow. Milkers your back.
Blouter
That sounds wrong.
Jimmy
Creme fraiche. Um. So. Yeah. Uh, thank, uh, he's going to thank you guys for getting his cow back. Um, you guys want to stay for a meal? And, uh, the suns. Suns getting ready to go down?
Bjorn
I do have a request. In the process of us coming to help you. Our horses were killed. Now, for us to be able to pull our carriage, we could use two horses. And we found two of yours.
Blouter
We found three of his.
Bjorn
We found three of yours.
Speaker E
He's going to.
Dobblebobble
See a hat just turning back and forth.
Jimmy
Well, I mean, I guess I could let you, uh, let you keep two of them. If you want to take this note back to, uh, the, uh, the guild and, uh, have them send me out some more ranch hands.
Bjorn
Deal.
Jimmy
Um, so he's gonna, you know, quickly write down, like, how many ranch hands and some supplies he needs and, uh, give you the guys the script. Really? Thanks for the like.
Speaker E
What the hell, babe? Hey, my chopped liver.
Blouter
No, I can't get a shout out. I don't see when, uh, likes come up on this this platform.
Speaker H
Excuse me, pal. I got I got another question. So, like, you got all this butter and I got this crab. I was wondering, could I get some butter for the crab?
Jimmy
I mean, you could have a couple skulls of butter, I guess. You toss.
Speaker E
Up.
Jimmy
Two, two skulls of butter. Um, he's gonna be like. I'll be right back. I gotta go get that, uh, from Petunia. Gotta go get that mithril. Mithril chainmail for you. Uh. Where is it? Which magical item is it on? Probably easier to Google it.
Speaker E
Mithril.
Blouter
Mithril is considered a light armor, right?
Jimmy
Mithril is a light, flexible metal. Unlike normal chainmail, mithril chainmail doesn't have a strength requirement and doesn't impose disadvantage on dexterity checks or stealth checks.
Speaker E
Go!
Blouter
I still can't wear it. I mean, I can, but.
Speaker E
Hey, that's all it says.
Jimmy
It doesn't tell me the AC or anything on this card. It's kind of fucking useless.
Bjorn
How do you spell mithril?
Blouter
M I t h r e l.
Dobblebobble
I l.
Blouter
R a l.
Jimmy
Yeah. R a l.
Speaker E
Yeah.
Jimmy
Um, let me actually Google it real quick too, though.
Bjorn
It doesn't pop up in the app.
Jimmy
Well, of course not, because you don't have all the you guys don't even have, like, the Player's Handbook in the app. No, I found it.
Bjorn
So a mithril mithril chainmail is considered, uh, has an armor class of 16 and an is £55. It's a light, flexible metal. If the armor normally impose a disadvantage on dexterity checks, or has a strength requirement in the mithril version of the armor doesn't.
Speaker E
Yeah, so.
Jimmy
AC 16 no stealth disadvantage.
Bjorn
And it's actually heavy armor.
Blouter
Wait, do I do I get a disadvantage for wearing armor?
Jimmy
You do.
Blouter
The only disadvantage I can think of is not being able to use shield.
Bjorn
Mithril chain armor has an ace or chain mail has an AC of 16. A Mithral chain shirt, which has medium armor, has an AC of 13.
Jimmy
Let's chain mail.
Speaker E
Um.
Jimmy
So if you wear armor that you're not proficient in. You get disadvantage on pretty much everything, I think is how it works.
Speaker E
Armor without.
Jimmy
It's mitt saving throw or attack roll that involves strength or dexterity. And you can't cast spells.
Blouter
With mithril.
Jimmy
With any, any. If you wear armor that you lack proficiency with, you have disadvantage on any ability check, saving, throw or attack roll that involves strength or dexterity. And you can't cast spells.
Blouter
Yeah, but mithril doesn't have those disadvantages. That's why I'm wondering if spell cast mithril.
Jimmy
Doesn't have the stealth disadvantage. The dexterity disadvantage.
Speaker E
Mhm.
Blouter
Okay that's fine dude I was just wondering.
Speaker E
What's the.
Dobblebobble
Disadvantage on it.
Jimmy
What do you mean.
Dobblebobble
Oh. So when I roll a dexterity it's at a disadvantage.
Speaker E
Yeah.
Jimmy
When you do anything it's at disadvantage.
Bjorn
So am I adding that to my inventory, then?
Jimmy
Uh, I think you're the only one that's proficient in heavy armor. So you're the only candidate for it.
Speaker E
Oh.
Blouter
Yeah. I don't even think John or Lara or, uh, Amnon or Lyra. Lyra? No, you got me.
Dobblebobble
Light and medium.
Bjorn
I'm actually not proficient or. I have light armor and medium armor and shields is a barbarian, not heavy armor.
Jimmy
Oh, damn. So so nobody so Lauter.
Blouter
Lauter takes it and he says, I think I have a use for this. And he talks it into, uh, into his cloak.
Bjorn
I was going to ask if we can make it half plate, because then I could use it. Medium armor.
Blouter
Um. Um. No, it's. Trust me, it's worth more. It's mithril.
Bjorn
Well, it's what I'm saying. Mithril. Half plate.
Blouter
Oh, gotcha.
Jimmy
Let's see real quick. Hold on.
Bjorn
It would actually make the EQ go down to 15, though. Surprisingly.
Speaker E
Yeah.
Jimmy
I suppose. If you really want it like that, I don't. I don't see a problem with it.
Bjorn
Cool. Thank you.
Speaker I
Cool.
Bjorn
Ironically enough, my AC doesn't change.
Blouter
Then why'd you take it?
Bjorn
Because I didn't know. I thought the half plate had less AC. But it has 15 AC.
Jimmy
Well, I mean, you're a barbarian, so, like, you should have unarmored defense. Max, I think, gets added to your AC.
Speaker E
Well, let.
Bjorn
Me check that real quick.
Jimmy
And then your shield. So that's why I like barbarians are like just they're just naturally tanks because they don't need armor usually.
Bjorn
My AC is actually only 18 without wearing armor.
Speaker E
And I think.
Bjorn
My shield might not be equipped. No, no, that is with my shield equipped.
Blouter
Yes, sir. What's your AC with armor?
Bjorn
I'm checking right now. I want to say it's 19. Yeah. With armour. It's 19.
Jimmy
Ten plus x plus two. So with a base of 15 plus two, which should be 17. So I don't understand. I don't understand where you're getting extra r AC from.
Bjorn
That's what it says on the app. Maybe my shield bonus.
Jimmy
A shield plus two AC from the shield and you get AC 15 from your armor. I don't know where the extra two AC is coming from, is what I'm saying.
Bjorn
My constitution modifier maybe.
Dobblebobble
What is he doing?
Jimmy
Trying to understand. Where Maddie's going. Defense you get plus tax plus gun. Okay. Yeah. So 15. Plus two. I just don't understand because, like.
Bjorn
You know what? My proficiency bonus. Maybe because I'm proficient in medium armor.
Jimmy
But I don't think it adds like that.
Dobblebobble
I don't know. The pluses. Its pluses. Stealth. Have played AC and then stealth disadvantage.
Speaker E
No.
Jimmy
So yeah like normal normal normal half plate is because it's a metal armor. It chinks and clings when you move with it. You know.
Dobblebobble
The shield plus two AC yeah, the.
Jimmy
Shield is plus two AC but the armor is only 15 AC, so 15 plus two is 17. It sounds like something we.
Blouter
Should figure out off stream.
Dobblebobble
Yes, sir. Oh, this is proficiency in shields.
Jimmy
That doesn't. Proficiency is only to hit. It's not something we can.
Blouter
Figure out off stream. Got it. Move on. Move on.
Dobblebobble
So he offered us a place to stay.
Speaker E
He did? Yes.
Jimmy
Emil. Which I mean, is kind of on the meager side after the orcs were, you know, in this house and eating everything.
Speaker E
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Blouter
No it's not. Ben has a ton of crab.
Dobblebobble
I was just about to say like kings.
Speaker H
I'm gonna go to the barn, guys, I'm really tired. I'm just. I'm just gonna go get a bunch of sleep.
Jimmy
So you got you guys you guys made the crab for.
Dobblebobble
I don't know what they made. I'm making the crab in the barn.
Bjorn
I'm just eating the rations I have.
Jimmy
Well, I mean, he. You know, it's like a hot meal. It's like it's just. No, no, no, guys.
Speaker H
I was going to be really shady, and I was going to make all this crab meat with that skull butter this big ale man gave us. But you know what? After a time in those tunnels, just. I gotta share with you guys. You know, it's just who I am.
Dobblebobble
So I'm gonna, you know, share my my crabmeat with him.
Speaker E
Okay.
Jimmy
Everybody roll me a con.
Speaker E
Save me such a dick.
Blouter
I didn't say I ate it. I did, I said we're eating like kings. What's a.
Dobblebobble
Saving throw?
Speaker E
Oh.
Bjorn
14 for my con.
Dobblebobble
Seven.
Blouter
For.
Jimmy
Okay. Um, everybody but Big Al failed their constitution. Save. And, um. So y'all ever had food poisoning before in real life?
Speaker E
Yes, I have. Yeah. Fortunately.
Jimmy
That that is your guys's night. So you do not benefit from the effects of a long rest.
Blouter
Nice.
Speaker E
Wait.
Bjorn
But I didn't eat it.
Blouter
Yeah. You did. It's too late to say it now.
Bjorn
No, I did, I said I was eating my rations.
Jimmy
Yeah, but I signed a big a big l made you a, uh.
Blouter
He. Yeah, but he did say he was eating his rations. He never said he was joining for the. All right, well.
Jimmy
Then then, Maddie, you can get a long rest, even though you don't need it. Mister, I'm only missing four HP right out of fucking 60. Uh.
Bjorn
53.
Jimmy
Um.
Bjorn
I just want to say, last time we played, that was, like, the best I've ever done. Like, I got hit one time and killed, like, six things.
Jimmy
I mean, you barely get hit because your AC is so high. That's why I like. It's a concern for me right now.
Speaker E
Uh.
Bjorn
I don't know.
Jimmy
That's all I like. I just don't know where the extra two points is coming from, because there's, like, two fucking random points coming from somewhere. And I.
Bjorn
Think it's my proficiency bonus.
Dobblebobble
Because he has it don't matter. In other words, of, of uh, it don't matter. Um.
Blouter
Don't matter. So shut up.
Speaker E
Yep.
Jimmy
You are. Maddie was the only one well rested. You guys, if I.
Blouter
If I take a short rest, I get some of my spell slots back, don't I? As a wizard. Is that not a thing?
Jimmy
That's for you to know? Um.
Dobblebobble
I know I have that.
Jimmy
Where's your character? Let me see.
Speaker E
You're good.
Jimmy
Should be under your features and traits.
Blouter
Yeah, it's what I'm looking under right now.
Dobblebobble
Combined level of two.
Jimmy
Yeah. When he once per day. When you finish your short rest up to the combined level of two slots.
Speaker E
Yeah.
Jimmy
Okay. So so level one and level two if you want.
Speaker E
All right.
Blouter
Thank you. O-tay.
Speaker E
Okay. Well, it's gone. So.
Jimmy
Um. You guys start heading back towards town, I'm gonna guess.
Blouter
Uh, towards that town or towards our town.
Jimmy
Well, I mean both, technically, because you gotta go through the one to get back to the main town.
Blouter
Yeah, I, I think we should go back to our town. Vanderlyn.
Jimmy
As you guys are exiting Canterbury. Um, you see, you see a familiar peddler on the side with a, uh, blanket and three items.
Blouter
Is it the same peddler?
Speaker E
Yeah.
Jimmy
I said it's a familiar peddler.
Blouter
Oh, okay. I didn't hear that part. Hey there. Gobble, gobble. He might have some more magical items.
Speaker E
Oh.
Dobblebobble
You think?
Blouter
You never know.
Speaker H
Hey, I don't wanna pay for it, though.
Blouter
We might be able to work something out.
Speaker H
I guess I mean, I feel like the party really hated me for stopping the first time, but, you know, I guess we just got to lean into this a little bit. So. Yeah, let's just stop, I guess.
Dobblebobble
So yeah, I guess I'll pass up on my pony.
Speaker E
Oh, hey.
Jimmy
It's the talking head on the pony again. What's up? What?
Speaker H
What's going on? Still, still stuck with it this time.
Jimmy
Oh, yeah. Yeah I got, I got, I got three new items in today from forest. Uh, some more forest, like usual. You know, that's just kind of a daily task. So it's a good seller. It's a good seller. Uh, I still have the show you.
Speaker H
Gave me last time.
Speaker E
Yeah.
Speaker H
Yeah. You want to buy it back?
Jimmy
No, that's. That's yours.
Speaker H
No, no, just the one. Just the one I, I want to keep the amulet and the other. But this is really good. I'll even I'll even if you throw in that stuff, I'll make a trade for one skull of butter.
Speaker E
Butter.
Jimmy
Butter, butter. I haven't had butter in a while.
Speaker H
You gotta buy the one of me.
Jimmy
But I gotta buy the wood.
Speaker H
You start with one thing of wood. But you got butter and I got a little bit of leftover crab meat you might like.
Jimmy
Crab meat.
Speaker H
Crab meat drenched in butter. It is so good. We got a full night's sleep last night, I swear to God.
Blouter
Well, now you gotta. You gotta.
Speaker E
Eruption.
Dobblebobble
What about persuasion? Because I'm trying.
Blouter
You're lying. You're lying your ass.
Speaker E
Off, bro.
Bjorn
Deception is glaring at you. Now.
Blouter
If you would have left out the part about a good night's sleep, you probably would have been okay.
Jimmy
Yeah, I would have been in persuasion. Um.
Speaker H
Let me look at this big guy over here.
Jimmy
He's got. He's gonna take one look at the crab meat and be like. You didn't refrigerate that at all, did you?
Speaker H
Well, it's a fresh kill. We ate it within five hours. And then we were at Big Al's, so of course I refrigerated it.
Jimmy
I don't know, man. I, I mean, the butter's covered in wax. Leads me to believe he doesn't have a fridge. I, I, uh I'll, I'll, I'll take the firewood back and the skull of butter and I will give you this item right here.
Dobblebobble
You guys are farther. Uh. Okay, I'll.
Speaker H
Take it.
Dobblebobble
And I'll be right back. Sorry, guys.
Blouter
You're good. Do your thing, bud.
Jimmy
You didn't even ask me to describe the item. Awesome. Easiest sale ever.
Bjorn
I tossed the guy two gold pieces and take the firewood.
Speaker E
Oh, thank.
Jimmy
You sir, thank you sir.
Speaker E
Thank you.
Jimmy
Um, but it's gonna be. It's gonna be hilarious.
Blouter
Uh, does the guy have anything else for sale?
Jimmy
Um. So Mandy just took the firewood.
Dobblebobble
So I lost firewood.
Jimmy
The item I'm giving Ben is a. It looks like a twig. But like, it comes to like a diamond in the center, like it branches off and then like, reforms.
Speaker E
Okay.
Dobblebobble
So, like a natural tennis racket kind of deal.
Jimmy
Yeah. Or bubble wand or, you know, uh.
Dobblebobble
He didn't take, like.
Jimmy
A fishing net that might have, you know, the net broke out of or.
Dobblebobble
And, uh, I'm gonna totally cast, uh, arcana on it.
Jimmy
Okay.
Blouter
Uh, yeah. So as I notice the wobble wobble, uh, casting arcana. Check on that.
Speaker E
Uh.
Blouter
I am going to use a bonus action to, uh, to pull a little puff puff. Puff, puff.
Dobblebobble
Huh?
Blouter
And I'm gonna. I'm gonna, uh. You're. That's what he bought was the the net thing. Yeah.
Jimmy
That's that's what he got. That's, that's that was the item offered.
Blouter
Can I make the can I make the smoke form like a smoke net? Does that make sense? You can. Okay, that's what I do.
Speaker H
Oh my God, look at. Oh, this is mystical shit. Yo. You seeing this? We could get some, like, ghosties maybe, like, oh, I'm gonna keep this safe.
Jimmy
Who are you gonna call? Dabo. Bobble. Double bubbles. Poltergeist. Catching service. Um, he's gonna have, uh, he's gonna have another little wooden totem. Uh, this one's gonna be in the shape of a hawk.
Speaker E
On the shape of a hawk. Yep.
Blouter
I'm sorry. I was asking about this one already. Ben. Yeah.
Speaker H
I wanted all the.
Speaker E
You got.
Jimmy
One item. That's what you agreed to.
Speaker E
That's. Yeah.
Jimmy
No crab meat. No extra item.
Speaker E
I even put.
Dobblebobble
This in.
Speaker E
His.
Blouter
Sir. How much for the hawk?
Jimmy
Oh, uh, that'll be a gold piece. It's hand-carved. Well designed, you see. It's all nice. Nice and inlaid with sap.
Blouter
Can I with sap? Can I inspect it at all?
Jimmy
Yeah.
Blouter
Anything about.
Jimmy
It? It's just a very nice wood carved top.
Blouter
You know, with all this extra sap here, I really think it's only worth five silver.
Jimmy
I mean, it's a great fire starter.
Blouter
Yeah, but do you burn a piece of art to start a fire?
Jimmy
You might.
Bjorn
Might depends on how cold you are.
Jimmy
Man's trash is another man's treasure, right?
Blouter
What do you say about six silver? And we'll call it a day.
Jimmy
It's gonna be one hard goal.
Blouter
One hard gold.
Jimmy
Let's post of that soft liquid. You're gonna give me earlier.
Dobblebobble
I'm gonna try and, uh, come and help persuade for bladder.
Speaker E
Uh, I.
Bjorn
I tossed the guy three gold and tell him to give it to the wizard.
Jimmy
He graciously accepts. Here you go, sir.
Speaker E
Okay.
Blouter
I'm just going to walk away and be like. I have a plan for this.
Bjorn
I got you guys.
Jimmy
You are now sticky.
Blouter
So my plan is I'm going to take the sap. That's like, gathered in the, uh, in the wood. Right? And I'm going to put it on top of my pipe.
Speaker E
Okay. Smoke it.
Jimmy
What kind of pipe do you have, sir?
Blouter
What kind of pipe? Yes. It would be a Gandalf pipe. Yeah.
Jimmy
Nice wood. Ivory like.
Blouter
No, just like basic wood pipe.
Speaker E
Okay.
Jimmy
Uh, long for your pipe. Combusts, sir. It starts burning.
Blouter
Uh. Why?
Jimmy
Because this app ignites.
Speaker E
It's highly.
Bjorn
Flammable.
Blouter
Jimmy.
Speaker E
What? You ever.
Blouter
You ever put wax on a bowl?
Speaker E
Yeah.
Blouter
Does it ignite the whole bowl?
Jimmy
Have you ever fucking lit up a piece of birch bark or something like that, bro?
Blouter
Birch bark is not pine.
Jimmy
I didn't say it was pine. I said it was sad. You jumped to the conclusion that it was pine. Birch?
Blouter
Birch doesn't sap up like that. So it's a soft wood and soft wood doesn't do that.
Speaker E
Doesn't guess.
Jimmy
It does. Dude.
Blouter
Yeah. Uh uh.
Jimmy
No lights out. Quick to.
Blouter
You need to spend some time in the fucking woods and get out of the house, bro. Uh huh, yeah, I'm all right. I'm not the one burns up. Bullshit. But whatever.
Jimmy
It didn't say it burned up. It said it ignited.
Speaker E
Uh huh.
Blouter
Let's go continue on smoking it anyways. Fucking DM just has it out for his fucking players. Can't just fucking roll with a good storyline.
Jimmy
It is a good storyline. These guys pulled the sheep over your eyes twice now. He is loving his life.
Blouter
Keep going, keep going.
Bjorn
Upon upon seeing um Bloaters, um, pipe burst into flames. I hopped down from my pig and I approached the little peddler guy.
Jimmy
Uh, he's already gone. Just vanished into the woods.
Speaker E
Misty.
Jimmy
He sold out items again. He packed up and went home.
Bjorn
I head towards the woods.
Jimmy
Uh, you guys are going to be so satisfied by this in the future, I swear. Oh.
Speaker E
Dude.
Blouter
John broke the chain on the fucking. He literally broke the chain on the fidget toy because he couldn't just fidget with the fidget toy. I'm done. Dude. I'm done.
Bjorn
Alrighty. So, on our way back to Dillon. Yup. Vandalian.
Jimmy
Okay. As you guys are, um, going down the Triborough Trail, you see a figure dart out of sight into a tree line.
Blouter
Uh, could we tell if it was, like, humanoid?
Jimmy
Uh. Role role perceptions, I guess to see how well you saw it on passive, you just saw something dart into the tree line.
Bjorn
11.
Speaker E
Two.
Blouter
Yeah. Not on the right page, sir. Rough eight.
Speaker E
Yeah.
Jimmy
You guys, you guys can't tell. Um. My heart can't tell if it was human or not, but you can tell it wasn't short, if that makes sense. It was like a taller shadow.
Blouter
Okay.
Bjorn
I say we proceed with caution. I sense an ambush.
Blouter
I say we proceed at full force and get the fuck out of here.
Dobblebobble
Is there enough of a reaction time for me to cast true strike?
Jimmy
Um. Probably not.
Speaker E
Okay.
Jimmy
Um, so what are you guys doing?
Bjorn
I'm writing ahead at full speed, apparently trotting away on my peg.
Blouter
Okay, I forgot you still had a pig.
Jimmy
Uh, roll me a deck. Save.
Bjorn
Nobody wanted to fucking listen to him.
Dobblebobble
He's rolling the deck. Save!
Bjorn
Seven.
Jimmy
Okay. Um, you did not see the rope that was strung across the road. And you are. You fall off your pig onto your back, and you take one point of damage, so.
Bjorn
Somebody's going to die. Uh.
Dobblebobble
Ready. Did you roll that on your top? Um, wonder, did you do it under a saving throw?
Bjorn
It was a taxi ride.
Jimmy
Oh, yeah. There's a specific section for saves.
Bjorn
I, I hit the wrong thing. Hold on.
Jimmy
It might be the same thing, though. Yeah, it's still a plus two, so. Okay.
Speaker E
It's ten.
Jimmy
Still, sir. Um, and. Yeah, with that, um, you see. Two bandits come from either side of the road. Um.
Blouter
Do they attack or are we going into initiative or are they talking?
Jimmy
Uh, I mean, they're ban it. So give us give us your wares and we may spare your lives.
Blouter
Oh, okay. All right, no problem. Fine. Gentleman. Just come back here to the cart.
Jimmy
One the one's going to be like make hand signals and all, but the one guy that's approaching the cart now raised their crossbows.
Blouter
Well, you always said there was two guys.
Jimmy
There's two on each side. You mean.
Blouter
All but. Oh, okay.
Bjorn
I'm going to fly into a frenzied rage and sprint at the nearest fucking guy.
Blouter
Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and, uh, well, actually, my shield initiative.
Jimmy
Yeah.
Bjorn
Do I still have to roll initiative after I just told you what I was doing?
Jimmy
Yes. Just because if you guys are going straight. Confrontation with it. 17.
Blouter
Well, I'm just casting shield on myself.
Bjorn
Oh, Nat. 20 plus two.
Jimmy
Okay.
Dobblebobble
I feel like Billy's action should go through.
Speaker E
Here is. For? There it is.
Jimmy
I was like, where the hell did I put my pencil?
Dobblebobble
Oh, he loves to carry the group at the end on these turns.
Jimmy
Okay, initiative roll. Double bubble.
Speaker E
No joke.
Bjorn
I gotta grab a phone charger real quick. I'll be right back.
Speaker E
Okay, buttons, I feel.
Blouter
Like my hat's too low on my head. I'm not trying to be bad.
Dobblebobble
All the time.
Blouter
I'm saying I'm not trying to be your character. I'm trying to be a wizard. My shit's all like haha!
Speaker E
Squirt!
Speaker H
Hey guys, are you guys are so nice. I appreciate your friendship. And, uh, yeah.
Bjorn
I'm just gonna continue on.
Dobblebobble
Very, very good job.
Speaker E
No, I.
Blouter
Tried, dude.
Dobblebobble
That was.
Speaker E
Good. Oh, no.
Blouter
Was it? I tried.
Jimmy
DB. Then then then.
Speaker E
Okay, I'm a wizard. Okay.
Bjorn
You're a wizard, Billy.
Jimmy
Uh, so. Yeah. Bjorn, it is totally up to you first. So if you want to go ahead and. Fly off the handle.
Speaker E
Oh, yeah.
Jimmy
And put somebody on the hook.
Bjorn
Somebody's going to get buttfucked in a minute.
Speaker E
Well, probably.
Bjorn
Literally. I'm feeling. I'm feeling some type of way.
Speaker E
Whoa!
Blouter
Well, we we don't do that. On, on. Uh, dad? Whoa! We're in the woods already.
Bjorn
So. Yeah, I'm, um, going into a frenzied rage and sprinting at the nearest bandit. Okay. And I'm going to fuck his dad.
Blouter
Were you letting my shield go through or. No. Jimmy. Just real quick.
Jimmy
Uh, yeah, I, I don't see why not. You know, they're bandits. There's no. No mages, no counterspells, no, nothing like that. So.
Blouter
Uh. And then. Yeah. Continue.
Bjorn
Um, with being in my frenzied rage, I'm going to equip my battle axe instead of my shield. So I am going to, um. Yeah, I'm going to attack the dude with two attacks being in my frenzy, I'm going to my first attack. I'm going to take a swing at him with my war hammer.
Jimmy
Well, it. Takes you an action or a bonus action, doesn't it, to rage and frenzy.
Bjorn
If it does not say I'm looking.
Dobblebobble
There's a bonus action and a rage. Okay.
Jimmy
And then. Does he have to wait? Then another round. Two frenzy?
Speaker E
No, no.
Dobblebobble
Because frenzy is also a bonus action.
Bjorn
So yes, my rage is technically a bonus action, but it does not. Say while raging, you can choose to frenzy. You can make a single, um, melee weapon attack as a bonus action on each of your turns. Oh, it's after this one. Um, so yeah, I will just take a swing at him then with my okay warhammer. My bad, I misread.
Jimmy
Oh, you're good. Like, I just, I, I know there was some kind of action economy behind it as all you know.
Speaker E
All right.
Bjorn
Do you want me to now roll and disregard the first one?
Speaker E
Uh, sure.
Bjorn
I didn't hit him.
Jimmy
Um. Yeah. You. You did not. Did not hit. Um, you're you're you're so, so worked up off of, you know, being tossed on your ass. You kind of just swing and swing and miss at him. Uh, it is double Bibles. Turn.
Dobblebobble
So? So it's two on one and two on the other and we're in between.
Speaker E
Mhm.
Dobblebobble
Okay. So I am going to. Cast. I'm sorry. We're away. Here we go. Oh. Come on. I'm going to, uh, use one of my meta magics. And Castor twin. Uh, scorcher at two of them. Probably the two in front of us.
Jimmy
Okay.
Dobblebobble
There's it in front and behind or left and right.
Jimmy
It's like left and right because Bjorn was riding a little bit to the right, taken off. So what?
Dobblebobble
I'm going to cast it to the right side of the wagon.
Jimmy
Okay.
Speaker E
Um, so. Uh.
Jimmy
If you're Bjorn, Bjorn, for your sake will say you took the guy and, like, left front instead of the guy in the right front like that. Um. You gotta you gotta roll a hit for that or it's dodges.
Dobblebobble
You gotta do a save. A Dex save.
Jimmy
Okay, so roll damage.
Dobblebobble
What'd you get?
Jimmy
Just roll your damage. I will let you know. Okay?
Dobblebobble
That is 13 times two if they hit. So 26 of it hit, 13 of they dodged.
Jimmy
You were like casting them on top of each other?
Dobblebobble
Yeah, like boom, boom. This was like once they got through the first wave of fire. Like that second one just came out of nowhere.
Jimmy
Okay. Um. So then. And what was the save?
Dobblebobble
13 ducks.
Jimmy
Okay, so you said 26 damage on a hit. Uh, full hit.
Dobblebobble
13.5 and 13.5.
Jimmy
Okay. So you see, the one bandit just turned into a pile of ash. Um, just straight dust. Uh, snapped his ass, and the other guy is rolling around, writhing in incredible pain as he took, um. She said it was like half. So what's 2020 points of fire damage? Like he is.
Speaker E
Okay.
Jimmy
Probably just about dead. I didn't have a specific HP in mind for these guys, but, um, and and I guess.
Dobblebobble
There's a movement. I'll rally over to the the side of the cart.
Jimmy
Okay. Um. All right, so it is up to the bandits after seeing their one, uh, dude just literally turn to dust and their other guy writhing in pain. The other two that are mostly healthy are gonna try to run away. Um. And. The one that is not near. Bjorn runs away. The other one. Gets caught on like a rock or something. Like a bush snags his tunic. And holds them in place. Um, so there is one bandit. Feeling good in front of you or in one and running through the woods at this point and one rolling around in agony. And it is browser history.
Blouter
So there's one that's still like up and around.
Speaker E
Yeah.
Jimmy
By um. By Bjarne.
Speaker E
All right.
Blouter
Uh, well, that motherfucker is getting a Firebolt to his face.
Speaker E
Yeah. He is. Fuck that guy.
Blouter
Uh, it's gonna be a 19 to hit.
Jimmy
That's definitely gonna hit.
Blouter
Oh, it's only gonna be a two. Uh, it was just like a little poof.
Jimmy
So, uh, yeah. You hit him with the fireball in the top of the head, leaving him looking like Friar Tuck.
Blouter
Comedy is the best form of fighting.
Jimmy
He's patting himself out. And cursing under his breath.
Blouter
Now, sir, I think it is time that you let us be on our way.
Jimmy
It is Bjorn Bhakti Bjorn. Bandit doesn't care. Bandit is trying to run. He's like, you guys are fucking crazy.
Speaker E
All right.
Jimmy
He's stuck on a bush. So, like.
Bjorn
My character doesn't have a response other than these two roles. One's a 12 to hit.
Jimmy
Okay, that's gonna hit.
Bjorn
That's for six for damage.
Jimmy
Okay. Uh.
Bjorn
Then there's an eight to hit.
Jimmy
That one's gonna miss.
Speaker J
Okay.
Bjorn
I took my two swings in. Yeah.
Jimmy
So he took, uh. He took the. We're gonna say he took your sword into the side or your battle axe into the side. Um. Then, like, you know, into the ribs more than the guts. So, you know, he's still he's he's not feeling he he felt it. He didn't like it. He's still trying to run. But it is, uh, doubly Bobby's turn.
Dobblebobble
Uh, well, we gotta go back to the to a classic. I'm gonna. I'm gonna go cast magic missile at his ass.
Speaker E
Okay. Um.
Dobblebobble
That's going to be five damage times 315.
Jimmy
So, yeah, you're gonna, um, you're gonna pepper him up real nicely. Um, I'm going to say like one through each knee and. And one to chest area. All clean through and through. Um, and he has probably like one HP sitting there. He's like, uh uh uh, on his nonexistent knees. His now stumps.
Dobblebobble
It's just a flesh wound.
Jimmy
Um, then it's going to be back to the bandits. And they're the two that are near. You guys are totally, like, incapacitated. And the other guy is running for his life, and he is probably now like 120ft from you guys. So at this point, if you're unless you're going to chase him down, battle over.
Dobblebobble
How far away?
Speaker E
Battle over.
Jimmy
Like 120ft.
Dobblebobble
Oh, just because they can't hit him doesn't mean I couldn't.
Jimmy
I mean, if you want to.
Bjorn
While he's doing that, can I, uh, approach the dude that's on his stumps?
Jimmy
Sure.
Bjorn
I'm going to grab a fistful of his hair and yank his head back, and I'm going to scalp his ass with my dagger.
Speaker G
Thank you.
Dobblebobble
Embracing the creativity. Maddie.
Speaker E
Okay.
Jimmy
Um. Roll me a survival.
Speaker E
With pleasure. Eight.
Jimmy
Yeah. You remember how I said he was Friar Tuck? Um. So you like. I don't know, you just got you got. You just gotta flap a scalp. Like, not no hair on it. It's just. Just like the top where his head was burned. Got singed scalp.
Blouter
Just a layer of skin. Burnt skin.
Bjorn
I'm going to turn it into a pouch for my gold.
Blouter
You know, humans already have a pouch for gold.
Jimmy
Y'all are terrible.
Blouter
It was. It was an old Viking spell, man. They would, uh, they would take off the, uh, the sack of, uh, of an enemy, and they would fucking they would tan it and they would put a gold coin in there.
Jimmy
And so round filters.
Blouter
Just saying.
Jimmy
Just just say it like they did it, you know, they took the ball. They took they took a man's coin purse and literally turned it into a coin purse.
Blouter
That's why it's called a coin purse.
Dobblebobble
Those damn jewels.
Blouter
No, it's, uh, it was it's actually called a coin purse because they would use, uh, bull and sheep. I think it was bull, mostly, but. Yeah.
Speaker E
Oh, okay.
Jimmy
So yeah. Battle concluded.
Speaker E
Oh, okay.
Jimmy
No looting. Cool.
Speaker E
Um, wait a minute.
Blouter
They're going to have, like, two pieces of gold.
Speaker E
Oh. Okay.
Bjorn
We don't know that.
Blouter
All the way.
Dobblebobble
I sort of. Wait a minute.
Jimmy
Okay.
Dobblebobble
I can't pull out of the bodies. Oh, I was going to ask, can I tell out of the three which one darted off the road when we saw him?
Jimmy
No.
Speaker E
Okay.
Jimmy
That was the new guy, by the way. Like you're expecting him to have the good loot. You you don't send the old bucks out there to tie the rope off.
Speaker E
I don't know.
Dobblebobble
If it was. Our friendly merchant. Sun is up.
Blouter
All right, so, yeah, I loot one of the bodies.
Jimmy
Which one are you taking? Are you taking nubs? You taken two faced or are you taking charge remains? I'm.
Blouter
I'm. I'm taking charred remains.
Speaker E
Okay.
Blouter
For 300, please. Alex.
Jimmy
Okay. Uh, Rollie, roll me an investigation.
Blouter
Roll me and investigation.
Bjorn
Well, he's doing that. I'm going to search the guy that I scalped.
Jimmy
Okay?
Dobblebobble
As well. I'll just roll an investigation.
Blouter
The guy that you scalped is the guy that I'm fucking. No searching.
Jimmy
No. You're taking charred remains. The the the thought.
Blouter
Whatever.
Jimmy
Okay, so, Bjorn, you find that your bandit had three gold pieces?
Speaker E
Three.
Blouter
I got Nate.
Jimmy
Slaughter in the charred remains. You find, um, some charcoal.
Speaker K
It noise. And.
Speaker E
I don't know.
Jimmy
Some some fiddly. What do you need for your spell components? Do you need anything like that can come out of can.
Blouter
Can we just call it. Can we just call it spell components?
Speaker E
Yeah.
Blouter
We got spell components. Yeah, sure.
Speaker E
Thanks I.
Blouter
Appreciate that. I didn't think we were actually actually keeping track of that.
Jimmy
We kind of like I said, some of them like because some of them are like, literally like a diamond worth 10,000 gold, you know. Well, yeah. Like, I mean.
Blouter
If I, if I see something like that, I'll let you know. But yeah, for the most part, it's all like charcoal or a feather.
Jimmy
That's why I said charcoal and like. Right.
Blouter
Right. And it's got to be burned in a brass brazier. Yeah, whatever. I'm casting a spell. God damn it.
Speaker E
Ah.
Jimmy
Uh, and, Ben, you got a two. You got a dose? Um. You got to face a.
Dobblebobble
Heavy one, two.
Jimmy
So with your two, you find in his pocket. A picture. Of. A youngish girl, I don't know, teenage teenage girl. Um, and I know on the back, um, reading along the lines of, you know, her wishing her brother well, and she hopes to see him again in the future.
Dobblebobble
Um, I'll just tuck that right in my breast pocket.
Bjorn
She can see him again in hell.
Blouter
Shouldn't have been a thief.
Jimmy
Damn. No remorse.
Blouter
Tried to steal from me. None. No remorse at all.
Jimmy
There's a dragon fucking changing the whole entire landscape.
Speaker E
What does that.
Blouter
Have to do with stealing from me?
Jimmy
Fair point. Fair point. Um. So, yeah, I'm gonna say, uh. You continue on. Let me.
Blouter
Roll for encounter number three.
Speaker E
Yep.
Bjorn
I'm going to look at blotter. Maybe like nobody ever listens to the dwarf. Why does nobody ever listen to the dwarf?
Blouter
Because you're small in stature.
Jimmy
And brains.
Bjorn
At least I don't pee on the floor.
Blouter
That got us out of a bad predicament, if you remember correctly.
Bjorn
No killing. Everything got us out of the bad predicament.
Blouter
Yeah, exactly what started the killing.
Bjorn
I think me taking a swing at the rat Queen.
Blouter
It was me peeing on the floor. Wizard always has a plan.
Jimmy
Um, so as you guys are, you know, getting closer to, uh, vanderlyn. You see a merchant cart on the side of the road. Reads Barnaby's bizarre wares.
Blouter
Bartleby's.
Speaker E
Yeah.
Blouter
Bartleby's bizarre. Where's. All right? Well, I'm going to be the first one up there, because that sounds right up my alley. This guy.
Bjorn
I'm going to go up with them because there's something I'm interested in trying to get.
Dobblebobble
As we're all going up to this, where's fellow.
Blouter
Bartleby, I assume?
Jimmy
Y yes, who might you be?
Blouter
Blunter, good sir.
Jimmy
Nice to meet you, Blatter. What what what what can I help you with? Have you? But obviously you've never been here before. So, uh, I have magical trinkets and perhaps some creatures if you're into that kind of thing.
Blouter
I am, I am into all of those kinds of things. What do you have?
Jimmy
Uh, I mean, take a look around. Is there anything specific you're looking for? Because, you know, I do have a mail order catalog right here.
Speaker E
Well, what.
Blouter
What am I buying here, Jim? Um, what do I got?
Jimmy
I don't know, simple, simple. Magical items. Nothing. Maybe. Maybe something good. If you haggle, right? Type of thing. But like, more. We'll say. We'll say you have the possibility of pretty much all common magic items being in stock here. And possibly 1 or 2. Grass, which is blue level, right I think.
Speaker E
Perfect.
Bjorn
I would like a bag of holding.
Jimmy
Oh. I see I have a discerning gentleman here. Uh, just give me one second, man.
Bjorn
I already have it looked up, if you're curious. Yes, sure. So the bag of holding is an uncommon item, so it's worth between 101 to 500 gold pieces suggest a base price of 400 gold pieces for an uncommon magical item.
Jimmy
Okay. Um. Let me just take a quick look at something. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I might have one of those lying around. He goes, he has, uh, filtering through, uh, like a sack on the counter, basically. And you just see him pulling all kinds of things out of the sack. Um. He was like, oh, there we go. And he pulls out a bag of holding. Um, not anything too large, but, you know, good size, fit a good meaty paw in there and out. No problems. Um, I could I could probably get rid of this for 300 gold piece.
Bjorn
Deal. I hand him a pouch of 300 gold.
Jimmy
He takes it, he puts it, you know, in a pouch on his waist. Anybody. Anybody else looking for anything?
Blouter
Yeah. All right. I have three things that caught my mind. My my my I, uh. So first off, can I, uh. Does he have a cloak of billowing available?
Jimmy
Um, probably seems like something right up his alley.
Blouter
The cloak of billowing is the most inconsequential of Xanathar's guide to everything common magic items. It doesn't give any concrete endgame bonus. It's where can use the bonus action to make it billow dramatically. It's only magical ability. It doesn't affect stats, just aesthetics can contribute to role play and payoff if the DM allows it.
Jimmy
Okay. Yeah, he has one of those, um.
Speaker E
Hold on one.
Jimmy
Second. Where to go? Just go now. Um. Uh, yeah, I can, uh, I could probably give you a cloak billowing. It's going to cost, like 50 gold piece.
Speaker E
Hmm.
Blouter
Let's put that to the side for now. What about that Wand of War mage that you have? Uh, and basically it says a Wand of War mage gives spellcaster something similar to a magical weapon. Uh, it grants a bonus to spell attack rolls. It's uncommon rarity. This gives the spells plus one to hit on their attack roll.
Speaker E
Only one.
Jimmy
Hit.
Blouter
It gives a plus one to hit and lets spells ignore half cover. Okay. Yeah. I wasn't going, like, super hardcore. We're still pretty low level.
Jimmy
Well, I know, I'm just like, that's. Yeah. That's fine. Um. Is it a green still?
Blouter
It would be. Yeah. It's uncommon.
Jimmy
Okay. Um, we'll say, we'll say I could, I could probably do that for 100 gold.
Blouter
Okay. And then can we, uh, can we skin that to look like a staff? Okay.
Jimmy
I mean, sure, and he just takes an ash pole from the back of his store and goes razzle dazzle and pops it in the top.
Blouter
Whoa!
Speaker E
I like it.
Bjorn
Jim, I sent you a Facebook message. Uh.
Jimmy
I don't have Facebook open right now.
Blouter
I want to be sneaky. You can't be sneaky. We're all standing there.
Bjorn
It's okay.
Blouter
Can't be sneaky if we're all standing there.
Bjorn
I have a sidebar conversation with the guy while you two are distracted.
Blouter
Wizards are never distracted, my friend.
Jimmy
Okay. I'm going to say. That's a good one. And it can actually be kind of strong. So we're going to go like that. We're. We're gonna go like that.
Blouter
Uh, and then, uh, I noticed that he had a bag of beans over there, and I was wondering, uh, what he thought about those bag of beans.
Jimmy
Uh, the beans I think you're referring to, sir. I don't know if he has said beans. Yeah.
Speaker E
What?
Blouter
Why wouldn't he have said beans? It seems right up his alley.
Jimmy
Said beans might be highly dangerous.
Blouter
Yeah. Uh. All right, so if he doesn't have said beans, then does he have a bottle of ever smoking or, uh, ever smoking bottle?
Jimmy
Yeah, he can have one of those. You can have one of those. Um.
Blouter
Actually not now. I don't even need that because of my pipe. I'm sorry. Straight up. Don't. Um, let me see one more. Where the fuck is it? What?
Speaker E
On this side.
Blouter
They got a javelin of lightning. That's pretty dope. Okay. So it's a it's a cloak of protection. Um, basically it just it it's not an armor class, but it gives a plus one to an armor class.
Jimmy
Yeah, plus one to AC. Yeah. Um, is that a rare or common, though?
Blouter
Excuse me. It doesn't actually say on here.
Speaker E
Cloak of.
Jimmy
Protection five. There it is. It must be searched pretty well.
Blouter
It's right next to sending stones.
Jimmy
So are the lines on it are blue, so it makes me think it's rare.
Blouter
Okay.
Jimmy
That's fine, I think because I mean, let me just do something else, like.
Speaker E
Just just.
Jimmy
No, they're all blue. Okay, okay. Um. Does it have a cost for that or no? Because it's actually.
Blouter
No, not on what I'm on.
Speaker E
Okay.
Jimmy
Um. That one, that one's going to cost you a penny. That one's going to be like, I'm going to say probably 200 gold.
Blouter
All right, so I tell you what. I love the staff. It's great. It's awesome. The, uh, the other cloak, the cloak of billowing. It's great. But if you could put that spell on this cloak, I'd happily pay you 350 for the whole lot and be done with it.
Jimmy
Sure you want a plus one cloak of billowing.
Blouter
Yes, that's what I want.
Speaker E
Sure.
Blouter
All right, so I got a plus one cloak and a plus one staff, and I'm out 350 bucks. Thank you. Sorry for the waste of time, guys.
Jimmy
Um, Ben, did you do any shopping?
Dobblebobble
Yeah.
Speaker E
Okay. Hey, uh.
Speaker H
I was wondering, you got a I got this old hat that I've had since I was pretty much born. I was pretty much born into the hat. I wonder you got a hat of disguise by chance? It's already a disguise for me. But I wouldn't mind the head of disguise.
Blouter
Are you like a hermit crab?
Dobblebobble
That's sort of like the thing. Yeah.
Blouter
That's awesome. No. Now I'm just picturing you in there upside down, walking on your hands.
Dobblebobble
Yeah, yeah, I'm just upside down here.
Speaker E
Yeah.
Blouter
You know what I mean? Like. Like your butt is the first thing that went into the hat, and now you're just like.
Speaker E
Oh.
Jimmy
Like crawling around on his hands and you're muted Maddie. Hands and knees.
Bjorn
He's a quasi modo nome. She's got a big ol hump on his back. And he walks like this.
Blouter
What is it? What is it? A hat of disguise.
Dobblebobble
Yeah. So it just lets me cast disguise.
Jimmy
Um. Okay.
Blouter
So I'm broke.
Jimmy
Now. I had to disguise, uh, you you just want to do what? Disguise self like, once, once or twice a day for free.
Dobblebobble
I guess. I mean, it says it's good until the hat's removed.
Jimmy
Uh, see? Okay. I mean, it's an actual item.
Dobblebobble
Yeah.
Blouter
Wait, but if you don't remove your hat.
Dobblebobble
Like, it's just a disguise.
Speaker E
This guy.
Dobblebobble
I'm going to be the master of disguise. I'm going to be the master of disguise.
Speaker E
Yeah, but.
Blouter
You're always not going to look like your character now.
Dobblebobble
I'll just have to remember.
Speaker E
Okay.
Jimmy
So you can use it at will. This guy sells that well. Oh, okay. Um. It is at will though, but it does end if it falls off. But if it's the same size hat that you're rocking right now, or slightly bigger. Um, yeah, we'll say 100 gold for it. We'll say 100 gold for it.
Speaker H
Um, uh, could you do 75.
Dobblebobble
As I tried to persuade him?
Speaker E
Roll, sir.
Dobblebobble
15. 15.
Speaker L
Uh, yeah. Yeah, I.
Jimmy
Guess I'll take 75 for it.
Speaker H
You're a gentleman and a scholar. And a merchant, apparently.
Jimmy
The little one. That's funny.
Blouter
The little one is funny.
Bjorn
That's why we keep him around.
Speaker E
Um.
Jimmy
Anything else? I'm good. Okay.
Bjorn
Well as we right away. I, uh, right up next to border. So no long difficult couple of days. May I have a toke off your pipe, my kind sir?
Blouter
You sure can. Uh, so I am going to, uh, pass that pipe over to him.
Bjorn
Um, as Blatter hands me his pipe instead of, um, racing to take ahead of it, I take it in both hands and snap it in half. He said I'd find gentlemen like yourself should be smoking out of such puny things.
Blouter
You are so lucky you followed that up with something nice. I was about to.
Speaker H
Wreck you.
Blouter
Bro.
Bjorn
And, uh, as I say that, I reached into, um, the bag of holding on my waist, and I pull out, um, a magic pipe that I purchased, and I hand it to him.
Blouter
Uh, may I ask what this is?
Bjorn
Um, why don't you have your character do an Arcana check?
Blouter
All right. Because my character is an idiot, and he'll probably fail it.
Jimmy
Your wizard intelligence is your highest stat. How could you fail?
Bjorn
Don't fail it.
Blouter
Seen my rolls? Uh. All right. Yeah. I'm gonna do an Arcana check on it.
Jimmy
What was it, a net one. He drops it and it breaks in half. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
Bjorn
I'll be going back and murder hobo in that fucking guy.
Speaker E
It's okay.
Jimmy
He he he does. Uh, he goes to look at it. Yeah, he he drops it and he sees on the bottom that it has a sticker that reads.
Speaker M
Uh, this this this pipe.
Jimmy
Never empties, and it always tastes fresh.
Speaker E
Wait, what?
Blouter
They had to cost you a pretty penny, Matthew.
Bjorn
It did, but.
Blouter
Well. Thanks, bud. You want to share it with me now?
Bjorn
Yeah. So, uh, what I purchased from the, um, merchant guy was a magical pipe. Weed pipe? That's metal. That, um. Or. Hold on. Let me let me read what I asked an actual thing.
Blouter
So did you make it up?
Bjorn
I ask him for a metal pipe to smoke pipe weed out of one that never runs out and never needs to be repacked.
Blouter
Nice. Thanks, bud.
Jimmy
Um, I guess it doesn't have to be metal, but, you know.
Bjorn
Well, I made it metal for a point. No more wax issues.
Blouter
It was very nice of you, Matt. Uh, do you want to share it with me?
Bjorn
I gave it to you.
Blouter
All right. Would you like to share a pipe with me?
Jimmy
Oh, yes.
Blouter
Double bubble. Will you.
Speaker E
Join? Oh. Of course.
Blouter
Uh, yeah. So we passed that around, and I am going to. See here. Fucking didn't look it up, right?
Bjorn
I was definitely waiting for a. What the fuck moment from Bill.
Jimmy
He was waiting. He was waiting to see what what the full action was.
Blouter
Yeah, I was, I was I was just gently looking up my spells like, just as a wizard. I was just going through my spell book. It's good. Um, how to.
Bjorn
Splat the Barbarian.
Blouter
So since we shared a pipe, uh, I'm going to ask, how much did you pay for that?
Bjorn
Uh, 300 gold.
Speaker I
Well. Okay.
Blouter
All right. I am in your debt. My good sir. I am in your debt.
Speaker E
Um. Holy shit. That's that one.
Blouter
That's fucking priceless. Chim chim chim dying.
Jimmy
Okay. So I'm going to say, uh, we're going to probably end session here and say you guys ride off into the sunset towards Vanderlyn, and we'll just pick it up with you guys getting back to Vanderlyn, uh, in the next time.
Blouter
I know. I don't want to wait another week. I've been having fun with this.
Dobblebobble
It's a great campaign.
Blouter
Jimmy, you're doing a really good job with the DM lately. Very proud of you. A-plus work.
Jimmy
