Ark 3, episode 21 of the DNR Podcast is brought to you by DNR Clash. DNR Clash is a new Discord game starting in April, where two armies vie for supremacy over our Discord server.

It lasts an entire season, and more information can be found on our website at dantrpodcast.com. Previously for Group B, after Callie was knocked out of the sky trying to spy on two cult members who worked for the Black Hand, these two members summoned demons in a glade near the rest of Group B. And that's where we pick things up today. Let's do that thing where we go around the table and introduce ourselves. I'm Jason, I'm the Dungeon Master. Going around the table, starting with Ian. Hey, I'm Ian, I play Kaldin Halek, he/him, elf half, sorcerer ice. [laughter] I mean, you got there eventually.

That was pretty good. That was good. I like it. It was current. I like it. And Jameson. Hey, this is Jameson, I play Larg the half-orc, mostly paladin. And Jamie. Hello, I play Jamie, Tatiana the full human rogue. You play Jamie? I play Tatiana. God dang it, I was overthinking what I wanted to say so that I could stick with the theme. You said, "Hi, I play Jamie Tatiana." Jamie Tatiana. Oh my god. I said now. [laughter] Tonight's gonna be great. I love it. Alex. Hi, I'm Alex. I play Braelyn, the dead halfling bard. Dead again. Dead and loving it. And Karen. Hi, I'm Karen, and I play Callie, the elven druid.

And Valerie. Hello, I'm Valerie, and I play Elena, the human fighter. What would you guys like to do? You're just getting done this fight, all these demons are slain, and things are starting to calm down for a moment. I imagine there's this half second where you're catching your breath, you're beat up, you're exhausted, you're tired. What happens now? I'm totally with you on that though, Ian. As soon as Tatiana sort of gets out of this bush and brushes herself off, and if anybody starts running after this person, Tatiana would follow them. But I don't think that she would have seen them run away because she was kind of preoccupied.

Well I'm not gonna run. I'm gonna cast Fly one mo' ginn. And I'm gonna fly at this motherfucker. What's your fly speed? 60 feet, brah. Ooh. [laughter] I think we could have some fun with this. Alright, so you're flying, he's running. Let's do this. So you're in the woods. So I picture you're careening between trees, right? Like you're doing a little speeder action, right? Depends how fast he's running. Is he running as fast as a speeder? I mean, he's, look. He's... He just took off, right? He just took off. He just ran. I'm gonna tackle the shit out of him. Okay, let's do this.

Let's have him roll an athletics check. Right? Let's see athletics of this chap. This... Okay, yeah. So, decent athletics. So here we go. Holy shit, that's a crit. So this guy wants to live. He's gone. Ninja smoke. Boom. Gone. So he's booking it. Like, you gotta imagine, he's playing this little wily, so he's trying to duck in between trees and lose you guys, and he's fearing for his life. So if you're taking off, like... Here's the thing. Speed-wise, you're doing great. If this were an open field or something, then you'd probably just be able to swoop down, catch this guy, right?

So let's have you... Give me... Let's see. Give me a dexterity save. Dexterity? Yeah. Okay. And if it's 15 or above, we're... Well, that's a six. Okay, so. We're gonna... Lot of brambles. Yes. So behind this drow, I imagine, like in the distance, it's like... Just like, just tearing through low-hanging branches and knocking down acorns and all kinds of stuff. And he's gonna feel as though he's doing really well. It's like, I'm gonna ditch this loser. It's fine. Whatever. Now, you do have a teammate who can fly as well. Except for I can't. Oh no. I've used all my beast shapes for the day.

Oh no! Well, at least until I get a short rest. But I do have a spell called Entangle, which has a range of 90 feet. I would say he's more than 90 feet away by now. What?! Oh yeah, because he left battle, used up his 60 feet to get away, and then he took off running with a 25. You fucker. Now, here's the thing. He's not completely gone. Calvin still has a chance. So I'm gonna have him roll one more time for athletics. Oh, that's only a 10. So here's what we're gonna do. One more deck save. And if you roll a 16 or higher, you're gonna catch up to him. Deck save!

Yes! 19. OK, so you're gonna be covered. Like, I imagine your robes and stuff, that there's gonna be some leaves in the pockets and the hood and stuff. Oh yes, I'm a leafy and sappy boy. That just means you're gonna stick to him when you swoop down. Are you just tackling it? Like, just like backpacking him on top? Uh, yeah, I think so. Yeah. If he's going super fast, Calvin doesn't have a lot of mass, but he's got some speed. So he's gonna just try and like throw what weight he has against this guy, try and knock him down. OK, sweet. So you are going to tackle him to the ground and you're both going to slide into this patch of grass, this wet grass.

Some of it's going to just peel away and it's gonna be mud and you're both gonna be dirty, dirty boys. And you're... Circle back around. Yep. He's gonna try and stab you. Come on. Well, I mean, I would. Can I be working on catching up to them? Yeah, sure. Give me an athletics check. So now you got to hoof it like a fucking poop. Oh, that's good. 20. So you're going to be about 60 feet behind, right? They didn't get too terribly far away. So you're just hoofing it. Um, anybody in... Is anyone taking care of Braelyn? Yeah, so that's what Lark's focused on because he's not running.

OK, cool. So Braelyn isn't breathing very dead, but I mean, he wouldn't be breathing normally. He's a revenant. So it's very difficult to tell how bad off he is. You do know that you can't die die. So the stakes are pretty low. It's not like anybody's got to perform a res or anything like that. You know, he's going to come back, but it's going to take a bit. Yeah, he's not trying to like he's not like mourning him or trying to save him. Actually, what he's trying to do right now, because he's coming down off of his first rage. So he's not quite thinking straight yet.

He's trying to reattach his hand. Like a Lego man? Like you're just trying to like... Well, kind of like, well, maybe if I stick it here and lay on hands, maybe it'll like stick. And so he's trying that a little bit. I'll burn a few points of land hands to see if that actually does anything. Just like and stick it, baby. Forgive really bad he'll lick it, but for now he's not going to. So like there were a couple of scrapes and bruises on his hand that healed right up. Still a stump, like still like that. But the hand looks great. OK, well, I'm going to look through my bag for something to sew it on.

OK. Is there some sort of badge we can give Larg for performing lay on hands on an actual hand? Achievement unlocked. I'll take it. Lay on hands hand. So this guy's going to try and stab you, right? So let's see. Is he targeting anyone? Kaladin, hey, look at that. Boom. He's going to try to crossbow me. Oh, 14 is going to miss. So he's in the dirt. He's reaching for this, this, this, this dagger. And he's just going to try and whip around and like stab. But he can't quite get like this. This blade's covered in poison. And he obviously doesn't want to stick himself with it.

And he's trying to like reach back and he can't quite get you. What would you like to do? I see that he's brandishing a knife. Can I try and like knock it out of his hands? You absolutely can. So I'm going to give you a couple of different options for this. OK. You can either try to like catch his wrist and just like hold his hands and wait for someone to come. Do you know the Callies behind you or is it more just like you're just guessing that at least one teammate? I think he probably would have like made some meaningful eye contact with people before he just like took off.

But sure. OK, so I'll let you do an athletics check to try and wrestle the blade away. Or you can try to make a short, snappy motion and use your dexterity to try and like just, blam, knock it out of the head, knock it out of his hand. Oh, OK. Can I throw a pitch out there? Hit me. Can I do something? I'd like to like grab his hand, but rather than like trying to take the knife out or like shake his wrist or like snap it, could I make the like, could I like make his hands so cold that it like, you know, when you are, you know, when you're like digits become really, really cold and you have trouble like picking things up or like doing stuff.

Could I try something like that? You can give me an Arcana check. Yeah. OK. Yeah, I'd love to do that. So this is like you guys wrestling for your lives and it's muddy and it's sexy and it's terrible. And you guys are just like, just like it's a real struggle. Yeah. And I'm like, I'm angry, but I also have a little bit of a boner and I'm trying to hide it because I don't I don't want him to know that. Right. This is something you tell him later. Yeah. Right. OK, Arcana, here we go. 20. Yes. OK. Dirty 20. Yeah. So you're going to like I imagine you're like grabbing his wrist and it's like and you you just there's this nice pulse of just it's almost burning.

It's so cold and his fingertips are going to numb and and this blade is just going to like he can't grip it as well. Basically, his hands operating like a fucking claw machine in an arcade and it's just and he's going to drop the blade to the ground. And about that time, Callie is going to get within striking distance. Cool. Oh, I get it. I kind of still want to cast Entangle on him to kind of strain him, but only lasts for a minute. So like we'd have to get him under control real quick. Well, remember, Calvin's like right there. Like they're like I imagine they're rolling around on the ground, like one of them's on top than the other one, that type of thing.

Oh, it doesn't do any damage, it just restrains. OK. It's just like... I hate you. All right. Well, he has to succeed on the strength saving throw. OK. What's what's the what's the goal? What's the what am I? 17, baby. Holy shit. OK, that ain't great. I'm going to level with you. That ain't great for him. No, it's not. It's not. It's not amazing. He's got a plus one. Oh. Yeah. So. Oh, boy, here we go. Slung sight roll. What the fuck? 16 or higher? Oh, that's an eight. Oh, shut up. That's going to fall well shy. Calvin rolls a six. It only affects one creature, Calvin. My gosh.

Oh, OK. OK, so describe this. So basically we're like in the woods. And so like all these vines and like roots and stuff are coming up. They're like struggling on the ground. So they start coming up and they like wrap around maybe like one of his arms and like maybe one goes like around his chest to kind of hold him to the ground. And then from that point, Callie would just try to like work with Calvin to, I don't know, maybe restrain him with like actual rope really quickly. Oh, man. OK, give me a Dex. Give me give me a flat Dex check. Oh, yeah. As soon as he's restrained, I like pull out.

I like manifest an icicle and just pointed at his throat and I just say, stop. Oh, that's OK. Oh, yeah, that's a good not. OK, so we're just until Tatiana gets here. OK, you just tie this loose bow. So he is for the first time, you're really going to get a look at his eyes, right? And there are these kind of stony gray pupils and he's going to like just stop struggling after a while. And like you could tell, like the muscles in his neck tense, like he's he's clearly testing these bindings, but like he knows he's like the jig is up. You got him. And you're going to tie him up with rope, correct?

Yeah. What I pat him down to, I do the sort of like cop pat down to see if he's got if he's holding like an ankle holster or something. You got any weapons in your pockets? You got anything that I should know about? Why don't you pop the trunk? Oh, man, he's on parole, too. This is going to be bad for him. This is his third strike. He's out of state, hasn't checked in with his parole officer. Oh, he's going away for a long time. Do me a favor. Give me give me let's say, intelligence. OK, so well, you're going to find the dagger that he drops. That's a six. So good.

I throw that into the woods. I just think, oh, man, that was his favorite dagger. Well, so you're going to have to have a favorite something else. Yeah, you're going to find another dagger in like the waistband of his of his pants. Like up top, you're going to find that that was not coated in poison because he could stab his own butt with it. And that would be embarrassing. Into the woods. Oh, man. And yeah, that's all you're going to find. I stand him up and say, get up and walk, walk back to our friends. So you didn't tie up his feet, right? You just like his hands are bound and probably tied to his weight, something like that.

He's good and restrained up top, but he can he's still mobile. I think so. Yeah. I don't think he's going to make a run for it because I would just be silly at this point. But he reluctantly is going to get up and start to march back toward camp. Meanwhile. Oh, I like that. Can we get those more often? The Ted Knight meanwhile? Yeah. So everyone back in camp, how's Elena doing? How's how's Tatiana doing? What's going on? What are you guys feeling right now? Good. Good. I like it. OK, well, I guess I had said Tatiana ran after her, so I suppose she would probably meet them halfway back.

So I didn't want to say anything because I figured if we were doing the whole meanwhile over here thing. Oh, my God. What? Just I would have had your role. So, OK, you are going to meet them like probably a good distance outside of the camp. Right. And you're going to see this drow restrained and Tatiana is pretty lumped up, like Tatiana got hit pretty hard. How are you cut? Are you bleeding, bruised? Like how would you describe it? I mean, probably a little bit of everything, honestly. So when this drow sees you coming, he's going to smile. Like he's going to look you dead in the face and smile.

I guess Tatiana would probably just look over at Kalden and Callie and say, got him. We got him. We took his weapons off of him. And we're going to find out some information from him. Can you check these this rope? It was all very quick. So you're much better at tying. Good job. Good job, Callie. They look great. I was talking to Tatiana. Thank you. Yeah, Tatiana would go over, check the knot, see how it is. I think I think you're OK. Do you ever watch a friend do something? And you don't want to criticize them, you just go, mhm. And you're like, let me just make an alteration here or there.

And like you completely re-tie the knot. And it's much when I do it, I want to do it very aggressively and I want to break one of this guy's fingers. And as soon as I do, I assume he'll have some reaction. And I want to say, oh, where'd the smile go, bud? Oh, I call. Yeah, Kalden goes, I thought I was cold. And his hands were frozen, so the finger snaps off. Jamie, remind me not to piss you off. I also like while she's doing that, I want to cast Cure Wounds on her at fourth level. Jesus God. OK. Yeah, this drow is just like he's gonna. You know what? Let's see on a scale of one to ten how he's handling this.

Ten. He's not even going to fucking flinch. One, he's going to cry like a bitch. So let's go. Here we go. Eight. So you're going to like this guy's a hardened criminal, so you're going to like break it. And he's definitely going to stop smiling and just like, like, like he's going to catch it. You could tell like that fucking hurt. You just broke one of his fingers. Which finger did you break? You betting on him being a righty or lefty? Probably statistically, he's probably a righty. Because most of the population is right handed. I'll do his thumb. Oh, my God.

The thumb is the worst. Oh, man. What a bitch. I just got attacked by like four demons. You're actually right. No, you're right. You're absolutely. Yes. No. Jesus. So roll healing for for Tati. Oh, I did. That's what that 20 is. Oh, oh, good, good, good. No, don't be sorry. I'm an idiot. I didn't see that. Oh, it's OK. I was just, you know, doing it by the seams. You know, just trying to make that, you know. So are you guys taking a short rest? Yeah, probably if we're making it. I got a question. Where is this guy's book? Or is that something I don't know because I couldn't find it on him?

Give. Well, it wasn't on him. I'll tell you what. OK, you guys are in between camp and OK. Sure, sure, sure. Kalden, Tati and Callie. Give me a perception check. Oh, no, these are never good. Oh, they're good. I mean, it's not bad. That's pretty good. That's pretty good for me. Yeah, 13, 14, 15. That's good. So. This guy tossed the book. The problem is it's the fucking woods. And this book is it's not like he had a chance to hide it. He just whipped it like he's a fuck. And he's I guess he probably banked on coming back here when he lost you dweebs. And and grabbed it.

That didn't work out, though. So you're going to find it about six feet from a tree kind of splayed open. It's it's this beautiful leather bound tome. I pick it up and I crack it open a little bit. Do I have to take some sanity damage? No, no, no, nothing. Nothing like that. But you're going to see just these horrible etchings of creatures that. They're just nightmarish, right? Very cthulian, very, you know, the kind of stuff that you'd only find in the the adventures guide to theory of volume one. Oh, hmm. Just just really just a just a cavalcade of creatures for your a chill goes down my spine.

But also, I'm impressed by the quality and professionalism of it. OK. The boner comes back. Yeah. Good, good, good, good. That's the. But in all seriousness, put that put that quote on the book. The boner comes back. Ian Duncan. So, yeah, no, seriously, though, this book is just rife with terrible looking creatures and what appears to be various rituals and binding spells and summoning circle type of things like it's it's it's it's like a it's like a recipe book for the terrible. OK, some light reading for sleepy time. I'm going to. I'm going to hold it up so Tati and Kali can see that I found it and then put it away somewhere safe, satchel or something.

So you guys are going to rest up. Um, Braylon. Oh, hi. I'm playing a game. That's right. Yeah. Yep, yep, yep. Could you do me a big favor? Could you roll a flat before flat before? Gross. You go for. OK, so at the end of the hour, you guys are going to take a little lunch, eat some finger sandwiches, drink some water. And I'm sorry, I did not. We can eat something else. Jerky is jerky cool. Never mind, because she broke his finger. Oh, that's very good. We're going to eat more fingers. So you guys are going to eat up and the straw is going to be. Do you gag him? Fuck yes.

OK, OK. Consider him gagged. Braylon still not up. It's going to be three more hours, four hours total. Yeah. Wait to Braylon's body. What are you saying? Wait, no, no, no, no. That was the part about the gagging. Oh, OK. I consent. We're not gagging Braylon. No, canonically Tatiana does have a ball gag. She would definitely gag him as soon as they're walking back. I love it. Oh, man. Jamison, can we update artwork? Do we wash that in between users? No, I don't know how it's like a cast iron pan. You got to let it you got to season it. Yeah, you got to season it. Never clean it with soap.

So, yeah, you're going to gag this guy. I want to add one more item to the book now. And if you guys. A ball gag? Yeah, it's special. It's got a name now. It's called old trusty. Trusty ball gag. You know. What's the plan here? So after your rest. Oh, actually, let me give you guys a short rest. Maybe she back. Yeah. All right. Do we roll? Do you guys wanna do you guys want to roll some hit? I'll roll a hit. I sure please roll some hit. I'm down like 50 hit points. Yeah. Oh, OK. You make sure to get Tatiana 20. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I thought that automatically did it. No, because I could target her.

Got it. OK. How many can you roll in a short rest? You can do as many as you want. Oh, shit. I've got a lot. I don't know if I have to say this every time, but I'm going to pick up my arrows. I kind of assumed. And the way it usually works is you get half of them back. OK. Oh, wait. Where are the hit die on the table? I must have. It's on the main page. Oh, thank you. Finally got there. How many do I do? So large has while everybody was away, large has tied crudely. Braylin's hand back on. And after he did that and laid him down in a nice, comfortable position, he went over to roll the body of this other dead draw.

Oh, give me a perception check. What do you what do you find? Let's see what you got. I'm good at perception. No, I'm not. Oh, no. Well, it's a drow. We know that. Stands there with his finger like his finger on his chin, like, hmm. Satisfied he walks away. You're going to see that he has a short sword on him and a tattoo, actually. What's the tattoo? Can I get a closer look? Yeah. So it's it's on the upper arm. You kind of had to like peel through layers. These guys where they don't like the sunlight on them. They think it just wreaks havoc with their skin. So this guy's kind of pale and it's going to be a tattoo of a black hand kind of spread out.

So when they return to the camp, in fact, Elena's there, so he'll do it with Elena there. But when they return to the camp, we'll be standing there just like pointing at the tattoo like it like a like a dog who found something being like, whoa. Oh, good. Good. Yes. I'm assuming I could. Great. Great job. Well, I'll say I'm assuming I turn to our captive and I say, I assume you have a matching one. Oh, never mind. You have a ball gag in your mouth. He's going to say, no, he's going to he's he's just going to kind of look coldly at you. How's Braylon still there?

He'll point over at him and be like, well, try to put his hand back on. He'll shrug. I don't know. Elena's chilling out with Braylon. Just like comforting him in his death, you know, at this point, is it a mild inconvenience for you guys? Is it like I was trying to do we know that? Do we know that? Do we know he's going to come back? Yeah. Well, you were told. Yeah. Yeah. You guys were manual. It's not a manual so much as like he made it clear to you guys that look, look, you're you know, you're working for me. There are certain perks. It's like a company car.

Right. But like, OK. Yeah. I mean, if any of us die or just the right. No, just the remnants. Just those guys. Yeah. I go over to Elena. I think I've got it. I go over to Elena. I kneel down. I see that she's chillin and I and I put a hand on on Braylon and say. And I look at Elena and say. That's the thing about Braylon. He's always been brave in spite of himself. He'll throw himself into anything, even if it even if it means we lose him. Both of us. I'm not sure how all of this works. But if we're going off of what Vecna says. You know, both Braylon and I, we traveled with the Revenant once.

A man of another brave man named Acta Ronis. And he was something like he was something like what Larkin and Braylon are right now. He could he could come back as well. He he could suffer this trauma and and still rise. So at least we know that that Braylon will sit back up and join us. Yeah, he he hasn't left us just yet. Let's just hope when he wakes up, he doesn't do thunderclap. Well, that's a guarantee. He's definitely going to do that. I mean, invisible thunderclap. That's the combo. That's his brand. And I hope he never changes. So what's the next step for you guys?

Are you are you going to stay here the day or are you are you going to. I think we should I don't think we should stay here the day. I think we should question this guy right now. Yeah. Interrogation. Oh, boy. We haven't had a good old fashioned interrogation on the show in many years. In fact, I know it didn't you we last do it. Ripley. Oh, Ripley. Oh, you may be right. That didn't get it. It's been 84 years since that happened. It's been a while because you remember you guys then had to go through the divide. That was a year on its own. And he kind of wanted to talk to Tatiana.

This guy don't want to talk. Spoiler alert. You know what? He was going to chat and then you broke his finger and he's holding a grudge. I highly doubt that, sir. So this guy is going to be staring daggers at all of you. And everyone saw he'll kind of like shift. I imagine him kind of sitting down, tied up next to like a like a tree stump or something like that. Like every once in a while, he'll kind of test his his his ropes here, his bindings. I thought you were saying I'm going to bribe him with ice cream. We'll take him to that place back in with the beans.

Oh, back in. Yeah, the bean leavens. Did you guys hear the fucking commercial the Jamison did for that? Yes. It was. Oh, I did. Oh, wait. Was that on the the town crier? I did hear that. That was hilarious. And Mandy's this month was pretty good, too. Yeah, Mandy did one for Vecna. I didn't hear that one. I have a quick question. What happened to all the demon bodies? Are they did they like poof or are they just all kind of strewn about this this clearing here? Oh, no, they're very much there. They're just kind of. Yeah. Like different shades of blood, like all the colors of the rainbow.

OK, so during the interrogation, Lars is actually going to busy himself with like stacking those like cordwood because he doesn't really like them being there, but we don't have time to bury them. So he's at least going to make them make a demon pile, I guess. There's nothing to do with himself right now. I imagine castle demons have blood like Nickelodeon Gak. That's that's just something that's stuck in my head. Goopy, huh? Yeah. Yeah. Like kind of a sticky, slimy. Yeah. Yeah. How's it taste? Probably like sulfur. Let's see. Scale of one to ten. You know what?

It's delicious, but it's like antifreeze where it's really sweet, but don't drink. Wait, antifreeze is really sweet. Yeah, I just love it. Yeah. And kids, too. Yeah. Any of those recipes, Calli, need some demon blood? Multicolored. Just like those Dell laptops. Man, I'm so excited about that Dell sponsorship we just got. We're going to- 2020 is going to be a great year for DNR. Oh, God. OK, so these bodies are going to be stacked up there. They're not all strewn about now. They're a nice, nice, neat pile. How are we going to interrogate this drow? OK, I want to start.

I haven't I've already planned it. All right. I'm on the muscle behind you, girl. Go. OK. Alayna is going to- so while I was- we're in a dark room and there's a single spotlight on. Did you guys build a house? Out of demon corpses, Lark built us a little cabin. It's a fort. OK, I assume there's not a chair, so he's probably just like sitting down on the ground, huh? You assume there's not a chair? You're in the woods. OK, power of the mind. So he's sitting down and Alayna is going to stand in front of him. And she is going to unsheathe her sword, like very dramatically.

And then she's going to inspect the sword a little bit, just kind of like turn it over, make sure it's nice and sharp. And she's then going to- so she's probably like five feet in front of him. She's going to point her sword at like his face and she'll do- she'll say, she'll say, "Leon." And then the sword is going to glow and it's going to be really intimidating. And then she's going to slowly make a circle around him, still pointing the sword at him, right? And then once she gets to his, like, she's going counterclockwise around him. And so when she gets to his like two o'clock maybe, she'll still be pointing the sword at him and it's still glowing and everything.

And she's going to stand there for a little while and then she's going to look up at someone else and be like, OK, that's all I got. Someone else's turn to interrogate him. I like how you didn't even wait for a result. I just wanted to be really intimidating. And then it's like, OK, someone else's turn. Well, let's see how it- give me an intimidation check. Fine. OK. I assume that's what we were building towards. Oh no, I just wanted to do that. 21. 21. He's pooped. He shook us. So again, this guy's a hardened criminal. He's done time. Like this dude, this dude has been to prison.

And he's going to be- in a situation like this, it's about intent, right? If you're in a situation where you're at someone else's mercy, do you believe that they would do harm to you? And right now he does believe Elena would do harm to him. So his eyes are going to narrow. And does she still say this? Does she still announce their way? It's like, that's all I got, everybody. Well, I'll just look up at some everyone else expectantly. It's like, OK, I've done my part. Uh, uh, Kallin'll nod, like, he's impressed. He'll look at everyone and be like, this could get a little ugly.

Is everyone OK with pressing for information from this summoner of demons? If you don't, I'm gonna. All right. Tatiana, would you kindly remove your ball gag? Tatiana will saunter over, take off the ball gag and stand behind the summoner ominously. That's good stuff. You've already broken his goddamn fingers, so he knows you'll do him harm. So you're going to remove this ball gag and he's going to kind of like flex his mouth a little bit. That type of thing. But he's not going to speak. He's going to be keeping an eye on. He'll try to look behind him to see Tatiana, but that's not going to work.

So he's going to keep an eye on Elena. Is Elena still holding the sword out? Oh, yes. And Elena's like staring down at him. And I imagine there's this silence for just a just a couple of seconds. You might as well kill me. Well, we are going to do that. You will not be leaving this place alive. Now, depending on what you share with us, that can be swift or it can be very, very painful. We don't have a lot of time. But you do still have nine fingers. Give me an intimidation check. Oh, yeah, I never get to roll this. Yeah, this is fun. This is new stuff. Oh, yes.

So let's play a game. Let's play a game. A meta game? I thought we were playing a game. Let's play a new game. Canasta, everybody. No, I fucking love that game. I don't even know how to play. I just I just have my ever. He's already one finger down. That's good. So here's what we're going to do. I said this guy's a hardened criminal, right? So here's what we're going to do. We're going to roll to see how hardened he is. Basically, we're going to give him hit points like like morale, something like that. So here's what I'm going to do. He has 22 remaining, so that's after you guys have broken one of his fingers, threatened him with a blade, told him he is going to die.

And that's that's essentially what's remaining. So what we're going to do is we're going to have time tick by a bit while essentially you guys are threatening or putting pressure on it. It's, you know, that kind of hotbox treatment where you're trying to slowly get something out of somebody. I'm going to say two hours go by. I have an idea. Oh. I want to or I don't know how it's set up, but I want him to be able to see dead Braylin. Oh, yeah, I'm sure. Yeah, I'm sure he's within eye line. Because I want him to see when Braylin comes back alive. Oh, you think that's going to be the breaking point?

I think it'll be really scary and spooky. So waving his stub around. Like he may summon demons, but we're invincible. So a couple hours are going to go by and you guys are you've probably. You've probably done things to him. And he's making it painfully clear to you. If I'm dead anyway, go fuck yourself. Basically. Yeah. I look at Elena and say chop off his foot. Jesus. You just going straight for the diabetes like you were just doing. Oh, God, you have diabetes? Well, in a medieval world, you're dead. Elena is going to look at him and her eyes are going to widen.

Just kind of like, this wasn't part of my plan. And he just like gestures his head at the foot. So is this like, OK, it's been two hours. Fuck this hack off his foot. Yeah. Yeah. He's been purposely busying himself because if you remember his madness from the first time he came back is that he really enjoys torture. Oh, no. So he's been purposely staying away from this entire situation. Being like, doop doop doop. Nope, nope, nope. Not going to get involved, but he's going to step up at this point and kind of do that thing. Be like, I have a first level spell called command.

OK. And I don't know if it works this way. It's up to you, but I'm going to try it. He's going to use the command word. Explain. Oh, boy. I know we altered that, but let me see. Command. Confess. Yeah, I killed him. Confess your sins. Target must succeed a wisdom saving throw or five. All right. So let's see if he's OK. Let's do that first. So what's the what's the target? What do we shoot for? Let's see. It's wisdom plus proficiency. So that'd be 16. Whoo. OK, here we go. Oh, go fuck yourself. Is that what he says? Yes. I'm going to hammer his kneecap inside out. Give me a strength.

Just give me a fucking wrong string. So the 12th, all you fucking need, it's his kneecap. Let me tell you, as someone who has a shitty knee, you don't need more than that. So you're so OK. Let me let me take us there. Jameson, are you swinging from the side? Are you coming down from the top? How you hitting his knee? So he's going to he's actually not going to telegraph it at all. He says the command word. It's very moving, but this guy resists it and he says, go fuck yourself without telegraphing. He just immediately swings down on his knee. But what he does after is he he like gets really low and close to this guy's face and holds his mouth shut so he can't scream.

Oh, my God. That's dark. And I have one last spell slot. So I'm going to command again. OK. OK. So you're going to you're you're you're going to command him. He's going to say, go fuck yourself and instantly just bam break the fucking knee. And you're going to hear a sickening crack. That's his kneecap splitting open. And I can't tell you the type of pain that's shooting through his body right now. But instantly, tears are going to well up in his eyes and he would be screaming his fucking head off, if not for large, giant half orc hand, just like covering the bottom half of his face.

So just. OK, you can command again. It's another 16. He rolled slightly less good this time. Let's chalk that up to the tremendous pain that works. What's what's the command? The command is going to be I like confess. Let's go with confess. So I would say, boy, a few seconds have to go by, right? Because it's just. Well, yeah, where do you start? Right. Scott, like I. I killed your friend. Like, I mean, you know that. So like I stole out of the collection box. Starts he starts at childhood. Four hours later, you get Braille is back. Everything's fine. Just kill him.

And then in sixth grade. So again, just tears, like just. Tears streaming down the corners of his eyes and like his legs stretched out and just broken, like fucked. If he were to get away, he ain't running far. And if you let go of his mouth, there's still going to be like a like that type of thing, like he's just through gritted teeth. We were sent here to take you out. By who? And it again, like this slow, painful blink. And he's going to look called dead in the face. You know who? Who was your contact in Esterhold? Who ordered you from Esterhold? And he's he's going to look like frustrated and confused.

No one ordered us from Esterhold. We've been following you for how long? Two weeks. Are there more? How long does this spell last? One round. He's done. Yeah. I OK. Hmm. You know what? I'll just roll intimidate now. It's fine. Yeah. You know what? Let me let me do a little con save. Let me see if he can get his composure. Go straight. Straight. Yeah. Still in a lot of pain. Yeah. Just and he's going to OK again. He knows he's fucked. He's dead like he knows. But if he did get away at this point, whatever Lauren would do to him is probably worse. So he's going to look like dead in the face.

You like to know. So he's going to glance at the at the others. I don't know who's like immediately present for this and who's kind of not directly involved. Coleman's there for sure. Tatiana standing right behind this guy, so had a great view of his kneecap splintering. Probably helped like get him back up when Larg was squishing. You made him stand. That's just. Oh, yes. Oh, my God. Oh, OK, cool. Then he's fine. Tatiana makes him stand. Now, Dan. So, OK, while wireless is going on, Braylon is going to wake up. So Braylon's hand is going to be tied to his arm, but completely non-functional.

It's just like as soon as Braylon starts to move and I imagine it's like a bad hangover, like he's going to squint and like just kind of like blink a couple of times and his vision is going to be a little bleary and it's going to he's going to come back to come back to it. So he still feels like pain. But now he's conscious and you're going to see your hand dangling like I imagine it was a clean cut. So you're going to see that stump and then a couple of little bones sticking out and then bones from the hand. And it's just it doesn't mesh quite well.

It's like a it's like a poorly glued mini. Oh, my God. Well, he's going to panic and try to thunderclap and realize he can't. Oh, no. We broke his thunderclapper. What is the sound of one hand thunderclapping? He just like panics and then it's like to the stump and nothing happens. He composes himself. He looks around. He sees, I guess, Cauldron and Larg standing over this drow and Tatiana and then the kneecaps busted. So everyone except Callie basically standing around this guy and he's got his kneecap wrecked. He's going to look around. What did I miss? Oh, you woke up for the best part.

Welcome back, Braylin. We're trying to get some information from this client of the Black Hand here. How does he react to Braylin just waking up? Well, I mean, his problems are a little more immediate, but. You know what, let's see if he would show like any like. So like you could tell there's you could tell there's a curiousness. It's like, hey, we killed you pretty good. But the same guy at the same time, the guy summons demons and has probably seen more fucked up shit. So like, yeah, that's true. Plus his kneecap shattered and he's really distracted by it.

Focusing on other things. So Larg's going to use this moment to like share share a glance with Tatiana and Elena and is momentarily distracted talking to Braylin. He's going to kind of give that nod, like I'm about to like we got to get going. I'm about to end this and just check for any kind of objection. Elena's just going to look away. OK, he'll reach a hand out to Tatiana and say, can I have an arrow, please? She'll pull one out and hand it over across this poor dude's shoulder so that he sees it. OK, so I don't really want to describe this, but part of this is going to be to try one last attempt at intimidating before we do anything.

But he's going to put the arrow head first in this guy's mouth. Oh, baby, I love this. Yes. And he's going to take a step back and line up his hammer like he's going to swing it at the butt of the arrow. OK, so before before you do anything, right, I picture that like a real fucking Aragorn Lertz moment where he's just staring at you like that. He's got that go fuck yourself energy. But you you already told him he is going to die and he is like he's he's like looking dead in the fucking face. Just like, come on, you coward. Fuck you like that type of thing.

But like he's in such pain. So here's what we're going to do. I want you to roll intimidation with a plus two. And he's going to roll a charisma save and whoever's is higher. Well, I mean, he's going to lose no matter what. But he's really like, could we like have could we have like been giving help here, like give advantage? Because we're all sort of like all intimidating. I mean, yeah. Like, here's the thing. I'm trying to balance that out with the fact that like there's no winning for him. Like the house is like, OK, this game was rigged from the beginning, right?

Like it's like he's done. So there's no incentive for him. There's none of that weaseling your way out of this. It's like, look, we're just going to let you go if you tell us. So that kind of emboldens a person. I almost said embiggen. No, it's your spirit. Yeah. Let me I just wanted without getting too graphic. Let me explain my reasoning for the shot that he's lining up. OK. This guy knows he'll do it because of what he just did. Yes. Yes. So at this point, it's not the pain or the promise of death because this guy knows he's going to die. It's the anticipation of the pain.

OK. So he's taking his sweet time. He's like lining up a golf shot. Right. Like he's like, OK, well, here we go. Like any last words type thing. So he's going to line up the shot and he's going to wait there and he's going to go to just look at him and give my eyebrows like, what else you got for me? Let me ask you a question. Tatiana, what kind of arrows do you use? Are they like flat spear tip? Are they is this like like like a cross thatch type of thing? Like, OK, listen, I'm why? Why would you ask me that? I do you think I'm a fucking hunter? I don't know anything.

I'll tell you what I picture them aesthetically, but I couldn't tell you what it would be called. They Gucci as fuck, honey. Look, I'm I'm making this up as I go, Jamie. So like, believe me. OK, this may surprise you. I'm not much of an outdoorsman. So I don't want to strip away my mystique to the Internet, but what do you picture in your head? I picture them sort of like triangular and maybe more long, like more piercing. OK, so this would be uncomfortable in the tongue. Yeah. OK, cool. That's what I was looking for. So there's probably like like a few cuts.

Like, I don't imagine that Larg was gentle about placing this arrow in his mouth. Kind of force fed it. Yeah. OK, so this is like almost almost touching his uvula. Right. So this is in there and he's got a fight to not gag, but like he doesn't want to give you the satisfaction. So give me an intimidation plus two. Hey, that's a 27. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. So unless he rolls a crit 20, you might get a little bit more information. Valerie, we need you to call call a crit miss now. Do it. It is going to be a he's going to roll a three. Wow. If it's a three, you're the devil.

So. OK, it's enough. So I imagine like Larg's hamming it up a little bit, right? He's adjusting the grip on his hammer. He's fucking like he's he's he's like he's like a batter up to the plate, like fucking digging in his cleats. He's spitting on his palms. Yeah. Adjusting his batting gloves. Yeah. And you're going to see this guy try to like spit, like try to like like take it out like that type of thing. Do you? He'll hold the arrows still and like pull it back a little bit, but very much like if this isn't worthwhile, it's going right back in. He's the guy's in pain.

It's been a long day. What do you want to know? I believe our friend here asked you how many more are there of them? Of you? After us. He's going to take a deep breath. There's one more team. And what are the numbers? It's a group of four. I don't know where they are, though. We were supposed to be. It. They didn't think they would be needed. Are they also coming from Esterhold or from which direction are they headed? South from Brightport. They should be in Whitehead tomorrow. How much do you know about us? And where we're going? There's going to be a long pause.

You know, she's going to kill you, right? What's in the black tip forest? You're going to get a similar look to when you asked who was their agent in Esterhold? Like, like genuine like I don't know what you're talking about. He'll move to put the arrow back in like he doesn't believe him. And there's going to be just not panic, but it's like he's going to try to squeeze in one more sentence before you place this arrow back in his mouth. Okay. She's waiting for you. She knows you're coming. And she's not going to stop until you're all dead. You're wasting your time.

After you're done killing me, do yourselves a favor and kill yourselves. He'll at that he'll kind of grunt. He'll put the arrow back in his mouth. He'll kind of jut a thumb over his shoulder to where Braelyn's probably still getting his bearings and say, "We are death." And he'll slam the arrow through him. That's fucking cold. So this arrow is going to, I imagine a slight downward slope. So this would be through the uvula back to the esophagus, through the back of his neck, into the tree stump behind him. Yeah, I think the Tatiana would move, I hope. Yeah, no.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I imagine she's a good distance. Like she's back there. She's like, oh, let me give you. Yeah. That's a Mortal Kombat fatality. Yeah, that's a next-generation. Oh, man. Oh, that's fucking gangster. I love that. Well, you got this drow nailed to a tree. Braelyn's up. What's the plan? What are you doing with this information that you're all going to die? At least according to this guy. And that she knows we're coming. And that she knows you're coming. Well, she doesn't know we're going to the Blacktip Forest, so I think we're good for now. That's true.

We don't know that. Everything else we kind of already knew. So after nailing this guy to the tree, Largo will kind of walk, probably more casually than he should be, back towards where Braelyn is and kind of crouch down and be like, hey, how are you doing? You OK? I think so. Well, I mean, and he's going to hold up his stump. Mine is this. Did you untie the hand or is it just dangling from the wrist? It's dangling. It's dangling still. Oh, OK, cool. He's going to make that face like, oh, sorry, I tried to tie it on. I thought it might work. Yeah, it looks like somebody tried to tie it on.

Two guesses. Now that he's up and moving, can I try laying hands on him now? I mean, you can, sure. So he'll like very daintily, like with his like his fingers, like, you know, if you're assembling something very small and your fingers are like pinching, he'll try to like gently put his hand back upright and then do a little lay on hands and see what happens. Like his hands have fucking shit in a bottle? Yeah. OK, so. Like, sorry, this is weird, but. So, OK, let me paint. You know what? As long as we're going for gross visuals, let me paint you guys something.

So that hand is no good. It's done. We're done with that hand. But. This stump is going to heal over, so it's going to resemble like like a pork roast with twine bundled around it. Like it's really the skin's really going to bunch up like as as large does a little lay on hands here. I'm sorry, I'm vegan. I have no clue what any of those words just meant. You don't know what meat and a string is? No. OK, I don't know what what's pork roast. Well, you know, when you have wet kale or something, I don't know. But you know what? The water seaweed. Yeah, you know what string is.

I don't care how vegan you are. So, OK, so take your wrist and just like tie it off. So that's that's what you got. Right. So this is going to be healed over, except. For one tiny finger bone, it's going to be poking out of the center of this this wrist. And if you if you pay attention to it for minutes, you're going to notice that it's slowly but surely growing. Disgusting. That is. Yeah. So eventually. Now, it's just the bone. No muscle, no skin, no nothing. But eventually a whole new hand. It's like teething. But for your wrist, it's going to eventually poke through and burst out of this skin pocket and become a new hand.

And this happens as Larg is healing me or like. Well, if the healing is going to heal the stump over. Right. Think of a like a like a cauterized wound. Right. Right. But the other stuff is you're going to feel this tension as as a new hand is growing back. But at this rate, it's going to take a while, maybe a few days. Excellent. So I can't use any spells for a few days. Perfect. You can use spells. Hey, hand buddies. And you'll waggle his skeleton hand. I'll show you. I'll show you all the Naruto seals. That's what I was thinking of, too. The one the one episode where the one guy uses only one hand to make the spells.

I think Brelin will look at the stump and then he'll see like the start of like a Groot bone forming out of his stump. It's like, huh? Well, let's start. Margo just kind of look at me like, well, it's not what I meant, but I guess I don't know how any of this works. Sorry. Give him a pat on the shoulder and like stand back up. Can I ask you guys a question? Let's say you survive all this and you save the day. Can any of you go back to having a regular life? No. Do any of you retire, become bakers or something? Do we like sit down and let Seinfeld reruns and Mac and Cheese?

Hell no. Assuming Brelin doesn't get a flesh hand back, he's going to be a pirate. I thought about this. Oh, dramatically. Oh, man. OK, what are we doing? I think we're going to go back to the horses, right? Yeah. Yeah. Something with the body. Are we taking the book? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We're taking the book. I counted. We need to stage the body as something else, because if anyone comes across this, there will be an investigation. Well, will there not be? I don't think the CSI is going to come out. Black hand also. So it's like they are really good about covering up deaths.

I don't think the law is going to happen. It's like Holy Grail where there's a modern police task force. I mean, is it worth like taking anything as proof of this of these demons? I mean, I don't think it'll last the journey, but is it worth doing anything like that? To show who? Just to show anyone so they can believe our cockamamie story. Oh, I thought to get rid of the evidence that demons were made. No, just to be like, hey, demons are coming. Here's a foot. Would that have been handy in Esterhold? Yeah, exactly. Like, is there anything? I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. Yeah. Go back to Esterhold and be like, go out to the fucking forest. There's a pile of them out there. Go take a look. Maybe not. I was just maybe that's nothing. I don't think so. But if somebody wants to break off a piece of something, that's fine. I want a demon tooth. What kind of demon tooth are you looking for? Are you looking for like a tusky type? A sharp? What are you looking for? Like a necklace chain charm? I want one that looks like really normal so I can tell everyone it's a demon tooth. And they're like, nah dude, that's like your cousin.

I'm like, no, no, no. I came from a demon. So you want to appear crazier? Yeah. Mission accomplished. I snap one for the gram so we can have some proof. Okay, who's TikTok in this? I dab. Oh God. Okay. Why'd you renegade? I don't know what that is. I don't. That's how out of touch I am. I don't know what that is, but I do know more demons just showed up. So we're doing that. We had said way previously that it was obvious that their camp was somewhere else. Right. Like they didn't have stuff we needed to look through. No, no, no, no. Okay. They were traveling light. Then I think we got to go.

Let's hit the road, Jack. Let's do it. All right. Yeah. Are we using a travel dye? How many do we have? One. What the fuck? I think we said we're going to use it when we leave Fair Bay. Okay. Yeah. Then that makes sense. For the rest of the day. Let's let's zoom in here on this. This little mappy map. First of all, I closed the window. Good job, Jason. Good. You nailed it. You're doing great. This is only your profession. Okay. So. I'm going to remove this one and you guys are traveling. You're going to make it beyond the bridge and you've made really good, good time for the day, but it's going to be the dead of night.

Now, would you like to keep going or would you like to make camp? How far are we from Fair Bay? Another day. And again, you guys are making really good time. Probably camp. I mean, if it's another day's travel, like, yeah, it's stopping a whole day. All right. So you're going to rest. Let me give you all a long rest. Yeah, you need it. Yeah. Okay, good. Mine reset to zero. Yeah. So by the time the next day rolls around, there's going to be like a forefinger and a like a middle finger just kind of like sprouting from that stump. And it's gross. But again, just behind.

It's a middle finger? Like a pointer finger and middle finger. Oh, and then a cat's going to jump up on my desk. That shouldn't come out of your stump. No. Hi, buddy. I wonder who's backed up. It's a cat in there. What if after the hand goes back, we cut it off again just to see. What if we make sure? Wow. I'm in a funny mood tonight. What if we tortured Braylin? What if we just... Oh, that's right. Does it hurt? It's a skeleton, isn't it? No, it fucking hurts. It's puncturing through skin. So it's like Wolverine's claws. Yeah. Yeah. But isn't it just skeleton that's coming through?

Like, and no... If chronic jerk bones began to protrude from the inside of your body outwards, do you think it would hurt? Yeah. Is it going to grow flesh back? That's what I mean. Oh, okay. I imagine this is all of us around Braylin trying to figure out what's going on. That's true. It's possible that comes next. The first that makes the scaffolding. If you will. So, I need somebody to do me a favor. Roll a flat d20. Me, me, me, me. Let's do it. You've had great luck. Nine. It's going to be a dreary day. And kind of misting out, not quite rain, but just misting.

You're going to hear it hit the trees and leaves and stuff and every once in a while that water will accumulate. You'll see it drip off. But nothing too eventful as you guys continue down the road here. And by the end of your day, you're going to be probably a good five or six hours outside of Fair Bay. But the sun has set. Let's just keep going. I also can't do a show of hands for Sasha, so... Yeah, I think Tatiana would definitely say we should keep pressing on because we're probably going to be going to her parents' house for a free room and board. Ooh, man.

Tatiana, that would be... They're okay with the two spookums, me and Lark? They're very accepting, I'm sure they'll be fine. Okay, cool. As long as you don't eat all their pies again. I don't have the desire to eat anything. Awkward silence for the group. So, you're going to ride until... Sorry, can we make sure we're not being followed before we go to Tatiana's family's house? Yes. Let's do that. Who's going to be the spotter? Why is it in the sky? It went so well last time. I mean, I can. If somebody suggests it, she'll do it. I think she's a little traumatized, so she's probably not going to volunteer.

I could burn a level 5 spell to scry if someone's behind us. Is that how that works? If I know the person, it's easier, but if I don't know the person and I don't know what I'm looking for, it's a much, much harder check. Let's do the bird thing. Yeah. Good, because I was looking at it and I was like, "I only have one level 5 spell slot." Yeah, I can scout about. Well, let's do that then. Okay. Give me a perception check with advantage, because you've got a bird's eye view, huh? Kill me. [Laughter] I've never felt a stronger connection to you, Karen. Oh, god. 25.

So, to Callie, this looks as clear as clear can be. You're going to spot a tribe of kobolds, but they're like miles away from you guys. And they're much closer to the Highmantle Forest, and the road ahead is beautiful. Now, you're not going to see a lot of lights on in Fair Bay. So, let's say it's about 3.30 in the morning when you guys roll into town, you're going to get some bleary eyes if you knock on Tatiana's parents' door. But they would welcome you in. So, let's say 50/50 shot. It would be Daniel or Sarah. Let's say... Sarah. She'd probably take it better.

She'd probably be more patient. She's got that mom patience where, you know. So, she's gonna... So, okay, I assume Tatiana's gonna knock. Yeah. Okay, so she's gonna open up and say, "What the fuck do you want? It's 3.30 in the morning." She's not gonna say that. [Laughter] I was really hoping that she was, actually, though. Like, she's super sweet, but it's like, "The sun hasn't risen yet." Yeah, she's just not a morning person. Yeah. So, again, you're probably gonna have to knock, and it's gonna take some time. The knock takes some time. And then, just before the third time, you're gonna hear the latch on the door, and it's gonna swing inward.

And, again, just bleary eye. Tatiana? And Tatiana is sort of standing there, still very dirty, probably still a little bloody in it. And is just going to sort of nonchalantly, "Hi, Mom." And she's gonna take in this sight because you guys... How can I put this? You look like the road has just beat the shit out of you. Like, okay, from her perspective, the last time she saw you all, she didn't... Like, Largs knew. But, like, the last time she saw you, you were much more bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. You all had your hands. [Laughter] I'm obviously hiding my dick.

That was two hands ago. Right. Like, since then. But doesn't Kaldin have an arm? He has a fucking skeletal one. Oh, I forgot. Yeah, like, it's not... I've got a glove. I'm wearing Tatiana's glove. I think it's that mom intuition thing. It's like, "Oh, no." Like, "Okay, wow. Come in, come in, come in." Like, you're probably moist. You're all just moist and just fucked up. So, like, at the very least, you're getting a little laundry done or something. She's gonna motion in and light a candle. Come on, come on, come on. Tatiana would be very quiet. Probably too quiet and, like, sort of motion to the others.

Like, "Be quiet. There's a lot of people sleeping in here." Yeah. And I... Okay, I don't want to make assumptions. Based on Daniel's frame, I'm gonna guess he's a snorer. I'm gonna guess. I'm just... I'm gonna assign that to him. Yes, he's a snorer. Like, you're gonna hear him from a room or two away. Just... Like, that kind of snoring where it's like, "Is he dying?" Like, does he have, like... He's gonna ask Tatiana, "Do you have a dog?" I cast Apnea Mask. Like, no breathing for a while, then all of a sudden... Jason, that hit's too close at home. I think that's a good time for us to stop for the evening, guys.

Ooh, nobody died! That's it? I mean... I was right, yeah, somebody did die. I mean, somebody did die. Yeah. Oh, that's true. We killed a guy. Yeah, you guys merked a dude straight up. Yeah, but someone also came back to life, so it evens out. Yeah, it's true. It's like a chemical, biological equation, right? There's a balance. As all things should be. Yeah, a balance. Perfectly balanced. Wow. I'm glad you're alive. Yeah. I was getting that monk ready. I was like, "Yo, if I don't come back, thanks." From the minor leagues. That guy's been waiting in the wings for years.

Yeah. Oh, I had a couple others, and they all died, if you remember. Yeah, Athias was not kind to you. No, but one of them's alive right now. The D.R.P. one. Yeah, oh yeah. Until they meet us in the forest. Oh my God. This fucking group would kill them in a heartbeat. I was thinking before that, like, I don't know, man. Like, D.R.P. might fuck you guys up, and now, I don't know, you're both just cold-blooded animals, honestly. We don't have a lot of people. Is D.R.P. in the Blacktop forest right now? They're trying to get there. If you're a Patreon subscriber, you would know all the finite details. [laughs] And we hope you guys enjoyed this week's episode.

We are marching toward Theriathon April 25th. There are a few surprises for you on that day. We really hope you can join us on Twitch at twitch.com/danddrapodcast. And you may have heard us mention Clash at the beginning of this episode. We are doing something really special on our Discord server, so for $1 a month on our Patreon. At patreon.com/danddr, you can participate in Clash, which is just a fun little exercise. It's something we've never done before, and everyone seems really, really excited about it. Essentially, we're splitting the server into two.

Just kind of dividing stuff up into two armies. We're not actually segregating anybody. But the more you post on our Discord, the more you help out your respective army. You unlock chests, you get new stats, there's all kinds of stuff there. And we're launching it on April 1st. It's not a joke, it's not an April Fools gag. And we invite you guys to check it out for more information. Until next week, for extended rest, we hope you guys are all staying safe, staying healthy. And we can't wait to talk to you again next week. Take care, guys. Bye.
