Hey guys! This is Courtney. I am the puppeteer behind the lovable moody gnome named Ari. I just wanted to say thank you for experiencing this strange spooky story with us. We've created so many memories together. So do us a favor, share our podcast with friends, neighbors, co-workers, the cashier at the grocery store. It doesn't matter. Just get us out there so we can keep making more memories. I used to serve grass-fed shrimp, sharks are older than trees, Mars isn't even remotely round with different links on all three of its axes.
The Mercator projection still pisses me off. The quietest place on Earth is Washington State, but you've come to the wrong corner. Welcome to the Odd Box! Do you guys have anything other than a fun fact? I thought you were going to say Mars isn't real. Man, that's crazy or the flat Earth. Do we have anything other than a fun fact? Yes, sad fact, mad fact. A not fun fact. Sad fact, a rad fact. A rad fact? A facetious fact. Okay, rad facts are cool. Facetious fact. All facts are fun facts. Which is why I'm arguing again. I'm standing up to it right now. A fun fact and it says something horrible. I'm like, that wasn't fun at all. How I'm looking at you. So let's stop with the fun fact. Sometimes it can be a fat fact. A juicy fact. But an interesting fact. Not interested. Damn it. When the flood cranberry fields, all the spiders will try to ride the cranberries.
So when you go out to harvest the cranberries, you get covered in spiders. A fun fact. If it's above a certain parallel, it's mostly wolf spiders. I'm not looking for the fun ones, damn it. Damn it. I said anything fun fact. Just the quality of that. Just the quality of that. Just the quality of that. Just the quality of that. This pertains to a conversation we were having right before recordering. But the top killers of the animal kingdom, mosquito is number one. Yeah, that's malaria more than the mosquito, but whatever snakes, dogs, and freshwater snails are number five. The snails are the parasites again, not the snail. Getting your brain. Who doesn't have a little brain parasite? Mars has a canyon on it so deep that it's where most of the atmosphere is. So if you were ever going to colonize Mars, you should do it in the Mariner Canyon. These facts are also fun. Yeah, it's a fun fact. It's longer than the United States is, and it's like 20,000 feet deep, 24 to 32,000 feet deep.
That sounds really deep. I'm so deep. I've got a fact that it's mildly uncomfortable. Okay, I'm ready. That is that everybody is somewhere in the neighborhood of 52nd cousins, and that's due to a lot of historical inbreeding. Yeah, I brought that. Humanity was almost wiped out a few times, so there's such a small, there's like three times where we were just on the brink of extinction. And because we went through those little like, you know, filters, you know, there's so many of options. Well, and it also like killed a lot of family lines off. And so like there was one extinction event where like everybody shared like a grandmother like eight generations back. That's the only people on the planet who were still alive. And so all the other tribes died off or whatever. So I've got two more. One with the genetic one is leopards got down to seven leopards at one point. They're pretty sure. And so they're almost genetically twins, all of them.
You can take a skin graft from one leopard and put it onto any other leopard, and it will not refuse it. So that is a less than fun fact. And then my less than less than fun fact is there is a version of communicable cancer prevalent in Tasmanian devils, and it's wiping the species out. Because a big part of their social habits is whenever they meet another Tasmanian devil, they will bite each other in the face, and the cancer presides in their mouth. And so then it breaks off. So they just keep giving each other cancer? Yeah. They keep giving each other face cancer because they love biting each other when they when they run into each other. This is going to be the new aids. Yeah. It's a it's cancer. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Cancer. The new aids. Uh-huh. Those are the last one. Those are the government plot to keep people down.
It's not even a real crocodiles kill more people every year than I thought. Like a thousand people a year. Crocodiles over alligators? Yeah. That average will trend down every year since that horrific scene that we talked about for World War II. Oh, yeah. I remember that. Like because of us? Well, no, because so many people died by crocodile that the number every year that goes by, the average will go down a little, because it's not 20,000 people or whatever the hell, like I don't know how many it was, but it was a lot. They really messed up the numbers. Yeah, they did. Tripophobia is an intense irrational fear or disgust triggered by looking at clusters of small holes, bumps or patterns such as a honeycomb. Yeah. This was like super popular in like the Facebook early days with the Photoshop and they really did like animal-ness photoshopped on like people's skin. Australia is wider than the moon. This white scrolls are originally a band called Touch.
Courtney, you're just like, you're too fun. These are interesting. What the hell is wrong with these lists of people that are dying? Like, okay, I was talking about how moose are responsible for killing a lot of people, right? And this list of top 10 animal deaths didn't have moose on it, but I'm looking up here. Moose killed like 440 people a year. A lot of people died by animal. And then the top 10 list has hippopotamus at 500 and then lying at 250. Where's the moose? It's just a bad list. They didn't do their research. Right? They should have checked all the animals. Let's Wikipedia. So damn Wikipedia. But no, like, these totally left out the moose. Why, why don't they care about moose? Moose? Moose. Moose's? Moose's? Hey, life, what was the name of the Civil War in China where the guy had a really bad fever and decided he was Jesus and then like 20 million people died? Oh. Did it? Shoot. It's on the tip of my tongue. Did the people that die have anything to do with the rest of that sentence or was it
just kind of coincidentally? No, he led the revolution. Oh. It was a Civil War. Was that Pol Pot? No, Pol Pot was Cambodia. Oh, yeah. It's right. Oh, shoot. It's like the most deadly Civil War in the history of man and nobody knows anything about it. Mm-hmm. So I, that was where I was going. Captain America's Civil War. Captain America's Civil War. Well, a lot of people know about that. Yeah. Okay. You want to know another sad fact. Tony's completely lost touch with reality. I'm just not interested in any more. Maybe he's in a mindscape. Can no longer determine fact from fiction. Was it the Typing? That's the one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Typing. Uh, that was, uh, Hong, uh, Ziquan. Yeah. Happened back in, uh, he was born in 1814. People don't know about that? No. Like a lot of times, like, we, you talk about deadly wars and people are like, oh, well, obviously, like World War II. I'm surprised by how many people don't know about fast breaks. The Reese's Candy Bar. So many people sleep on that.
Like every time I'm like, this is my favorite one you should try. And they're like, I've never even heard of it. That might be the most fucked up transition we've done in the show. I'm like, the worst one. It's the worst. You don't know that. Anyways. Having a good time. Okay. Let's play the game. I'm ready. I'm not. I have more sad facts. Heart disease. Speaking of fast breaks. From heart disease, Jeff. What's the number on that? I don't know. Yeah, Jeff. I don't know. What's the number on that? I don't know. What is Wikipedia say? I'm not going to pull up a picture of heart disease. I haven't seen this animal before. Well, I've got another sad fact. Uh, so, uh, of mammals, uh, humans, cows and other, like, food, staple mammals. Well, you eat people. Shut up. No, no, no, no. Like biomass of mammals. Uh, there's us. And then there's the things that we eat. And that makes up, like, 96% of mammalian biomass on the planet.
And the 4% is spread out all, uh, over all of the rest of the mammals. So the earth literally is just like a giant farm. So you're saying, like, cows, pigs, chickens, chickens, chickens, chickens, not, dick. You're seeing it. You're chicken milk. You got some chicken milk. I've got chicken milk. I've got chicken fur. Don't mess with me. What about the platypus? All right. He makes milk. He's sitting here. Yeah. And everywhere too, which is crazy. Because they don't actually have seats. They sweat it. He's basically a duck. What? He's basically a duck. The venomous duck. Yeah. The poisonous spur. How do elephants kill so many people per year? By trample them. They trample them. They trample them. Well, no. My question is, like, basically every type of elephant is, uh, endangered, right? How many elephants are left in the world? Like a thousand? Four? Or something like that? Did you count your mom? Mm-hmm. I did.
How many people she's killed? Well, like, there's like a thousand of your mom to stop killing. We love you, Jess Mom. She'll stop trampling people. We love you. We'll be all right. She kisses. That's a monster. Stay clear on Black Friday's. I mean, my question is, if there's not very many elephants and they kill 600 people per year, that means like every other elephant is a murderer. Uh, they're an estimate between 400. These fucking psychotic elephants. 455,465,000 wild elephants remaining in the world. That's a lot of other elephants than I thought there was. They also impede on civilization a lot. They will like lay down buildings and go cross streets and, you know, busy city streets or anything. So a little too much crossover sometimes. Yeah, they're like raccoons, but in India, they should respect our habitat. We should respect theirs. Whoa. Who's sitting here? Or what life said? You're either human or you're a farm animal, chicken farm animals, or you don't get any
space. You get less space. Never mind. The most animals are in fact like beetles, but statistically speaking, one of us at this table is a beetle. I didn't think we were ever going to talk about that. One in four creatures on earth are beetles. That's a fun fact though, because that's that's ejected. We can't have that one. Edit that out. Fucking bullshit. Right in. Leave a comment. Which one of us is the beetle dying to know? We all know. We all know. We all know. Cats out of the bag. There's a Lenin here somewhere. I know it. You guys learn an important word. Wait, transmigrate. Oh yeah. This is a term used for a true transference between mindscape and between mindscapes and even potentially the real world. You spend the day reading and bickering, and at night, red and garters are attacked in
their sleep by the ghosts of the thief they killed in the tan, Sugimon, Stary, Kaelenbrei. Unable to fully rest, they begin the struggle to get through another hard day as you guys break apart to start your individual chores of dealing with another bout of ritual research. What is the hero point situation? Zero. Two. Two. Zero. You really do burn through those Kyle. You know, I feel like as a GM, you're due a tax. You know what I mean? And if your players aren't paying them, then they aren't playing. So I got to bounce it out for the people who are hoarding their hero points. Got it. Yeah. You have to pay double taxes because Horton never pays hers. Well, it's like, you get it. You have to pay taxes? The issue that I see is like Kyle's like, oh, I want to, I want to make a snow angel. It's like, how good does it look? Oh, I roll the, I roll the one, hero point. He would. Hero point the snow angel. Oh, it's a 10.
Yeah. So that's a pretty good. So that's a pretty good snow angel. It's a pretty good snow angel. Just because you guys have no inner child and you've died, you know, it doesn't mean that I need to change how I live my life, you know. I can still have fun. Well, your fun is killing my fun. Oh, it's not. I've only lost two characters one of them in your back. You don't have hero points. Yeah. Maybe earn more hero points. That's what I'm hearing. I've been trying. I made a funny joke last time. It wasn't funny. Okay. I'll make funny or jokes. He can't. Where do we want to start? I guess Ari has a long walk and I'm not fully prepped for a, I'm not fully prepped for a great willow encounter. Next, we have, Gartis is staying home. And then of course, we have, I keep wanting to say, oh, Sue, we have pops and red going to the fluvial lady of souls to talk with the shrine and candora.
Let's start with Gartis. Gartis, taking you into the Cerillian Borer, you have this blanket wrapped around you. You're probably snuggling close to the fire. When Yami comes up, do you give her head scratches? I was about to mention something about Yami. If at any point that she's like, that Yami, I would assume she kind of hangs out in Ari's room. No, she mostly hangs out in the main living area. Well, if there's any point where she goes into like Ari's room or something, I'm just going to shut the door and just shut her in like Ari's room or something. As you close it, she uses her spells, including Mei-chan to just open it back up and she stares up at you very disapprovingly. Well, I didn't know you could do that, so I guess the jokes on Mei-chan. I always imagine she just really went where she went, wanted to go, like, nothing stuck down. No, but really, Gartis is, she's sentient. She's a fully capable, like, derisly person. Yeah, but she still doesn't have thumbs. She has spells.
She's got duke gloves. I didn't know that. You guys have all seen her manipulate fire before. You have duke gloves. Okay. She had duke gloves. Anyway, Gartis is just a slow learner, you know? I didn't know she had Mei-chan, all right? That's a very specific spell that will allow her to open the door. Anyway, so my day is just mostly, really, it's just like wrapped up with a blanket, sitting there with a hot steaming mug of tea in front of the fire, just kind of staring at the fire. So I guess this would be like quiet introspection if anything, because I'm just thinking, trying to just processing everything that is happening, and I was trying to do it the other night with my, with my shrine, but, well, yeah, first of all, you were never going to do it with just four hours. You always have the opportunity to start working on your shrine again. It's going to be hard for you to do introspection out of shrine without being out of shrine, but I couldn't adjust some DCs and we can, we can go with it. Um, can you describe your blanket?
Is it like crochet or is it a quilt? Is it like a single layer textile? Why don't you have hero points, Kyle? I'm just trying to get the vibe for how cozy it is. It's the comforter from Ari's bed. Okay. Oh, you want to give me a religion check? Oh, sure. 11 on the dice. Plus a 13 is a 24. That's a fail. That's fair. It was close though. We're 25. Then let's go to pops and red quick, John, but it's cold. You see some kids are playing through the snow. A lot of people seem to be staying inside now that they got their morning chores out of the way. You make it to the fluvial lady of Souls No Problem. The lizard greets you.
She brings you into a small sitting chamber and shows pops where the statue of Frasma is. He just sits down in front of it. You guys being red and all of a sit down in a small parlor area and she gets like T out. She pulls out like a bottle, clearly alcohol and kind of gestures towards it as she puts a splash in hers. Just a splash. Just a touch. Put a splash in yours. Don't want to lose my shit. What can I help you with? All right. So we got this thing we're trying to figure out. It's called trans migration. Never heard of it. Yeah. So essentially how it works is the good governor got us trapped in a mindscape and we want to go back to not the mindscape always hated that day. Yeah. Right? Although let me tell you, if you're going to do a little masculine with a guy in a spa, he knows how to have a good time. The governor does masculine.
Not officially. Where does he get this unofficial masculine? I mean, I provide it. I get you whatever you want. The woods provide. Do you have some right now? Not on me. Do you want to? What else do you want to go to the spa? What if you come here for Liz? You want to go to the spa one day? I got mushrooms. I got, well, mostly I just got a lot of mushrooms right now. Freed we're losing focus. Yeah. Yeah. I'm sorry. You've always had that effect on me. I would like to. Like to. Nothing. Just stay focused Liz. Got six. All right. We're trying to learn about this ritual to get us out of the mindscape. We want to get back to the real Willow Shore where we can, you know, set things right again. So I just, I need some help going through some documents or rituals or understandings or understanding, you know, you know me. I live in the, I got no fucking idea what's going on. I couldn't even explain it to you if I tried. So I'm here for help.
If it's true that we are dead and yet not in the Boneyard, this is a great offense to Farasma and cannot stand. That's why we're trying to fix it. Yeah. I would love to help you fix it. I don't know how much help I'm going to be. But yes, you're right. We should consult some texts and you can give me a religion check. All right. Oh, and I also track two from the DC. Yeah. 19 on the die for a 34. Nice. Critical success. Yeah. Should I be tracking this somewhere? Are you hanging out with Elizabeth? Oh, hey, but you're done with her now. You can't go back because it's two points per NPC. So you drain her. You milk her dry of information. Is that Elizabeth Elizabeth? Elizabeth. Get it right. Just call her loose. Get that B out your mouth. Sorry. OK, so how are we doing on research points now then?
We have two. Critical success. Your first two from Liz. That's your first threshold. All right. Rituals to bring the dead back to life typically require a dead body, or at least part of it, to function. But in this case, no dead body exists. But governor has breakthrough. His idea of using the eternal lanterns light as a sort of pathway, as a sort of anchor between this world and the living realm is a brilliant solution to the problem. But you also remember Shinzo telling you, in the real world, the eternal lantern has gone out. All right. It's also not in Willow Shore anymore, right? He took the light, but he might be in Willow Shore with the light. Maybe. He was hold up in Kara High as the last information we had. Right, because Willow Shore is super haunted.
He wants to exercise Willow Shore to get us out of it. So yeah, he's not hanging out in Willow Shore. Well, there's also some uncomfortable parallels to the night of broken, no, I'm sorry, yeah. I want to keep in mind too, because I think we often forget this, that the eternal light, the eternal lantern doesn't glow with like a flame, right? It's not like a lantern that you hold. It has this metal plate, metal brazier in it, and you put blessed coins in it, and it lights up. So it's pretty unnatural in how it works, and it's very clear that it's touched by the gods. It's divine glow sort of thing. So when they say they've taken the light, they've taken the lantern, it's this, these internal components that have been taken, not like a flame, like the Olympic torch sort of thing. Hmm. So we just need to go get three coins blessed again. Didn't we already do this? There's a bag of three blessed coins at the bottom of the lake.
You just got to go get them. Not to let garnishes thinking get us two off track, even with three coins returned, there are still other components within this lantern that it sounds like he has taken. So the brazier that would have held the coins all part of like this lantern. So yeah, you can get as many coins as you want, doesn't mean you're going to get the lantern working back. You need to get this piece. Yeah. Plus, he's in the real world and we're in the mindscape. So how? How's that work? Boom, boom. Boom, boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.
Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. So when he's gonna get his blood just hyper thyroid is sometimes sometimes just happens Well, he's actually a person but he's covered in blue paint. Yeah, that's right. It's the blue man group problem. Yeah Would you like any role? Give me a role. Yeah What kind of role is this a jelly roll? It's gonna be a religion or a cult. It's gonna be a religion That's not super great. I'm I got hair points to burn I'm gonna know who's burning through hero point. This is important Everything okay, that was a nine just for but I think I can do better. Okay. All right, that's a little better as 12 plus religion 13 for a 25 Because you guys know reencarting that the past sick Sick you spend the day in quiet thought or prayer meditating in the presence of one of Willas Shores minis shrines or places of natural beauty Maximum RP 3 and you just got one sick
So we did it We researched it all done. Yeah, that's it. That's the end of the campaign. You win Good job. I was really anticlimactic Yeah, we're at like three of 14 It is potentially higher lower than that and I think you know what I'm gonna go back and say to answer your question Gartis doesn't give yummy chin scratches, but at this point He's not actively like in a sure out of the room like if she wants to lay down on the floor next to him next to the fire He's just gonna sit there in silence with her I knew everybody was Wondering about that question on the way back to the board. I'm gonna throw snowballs at the kids we were playing But not like not like super Just They're not playing. They're like working and like trying to put together fences and shit because everybody has to and you just Shucking snowballs in you got a pack of rock in it. It's tough on a muffin. It's gonna cry everyone. It's not hard. I didn't think you get it
Harri is gonna return home to a bunch of snowballs to the face with rocks You make a long isolated walk north of Willow Shore to make it to the Great Willow this large tree protected by a Kodama spirit When you approach you actually you take me there you approach the trees standing overhead. What do you do? So Ari has like a rolled up blanket on her back and like on top of her backpack and She'll slowly walk up to the tree and she's like great willow and she Brings out a bottle of sake there it is in a little cup and she'll just like put it on the ground And it's like it's been a while. I was hoping that we could chat You shall just like step back from the sake and wait The area under the tree is bear of any snow and the ground is green and vibrant and out of season
You even see some flowers beginning to just turn into bulbs at the tip of their stems Early spring flowers. It doesn't make any sense. It's as if right directly under these branches is a sort of oasis A familiar heavy wind comes through and some of the snow falls directly underneath the tree and quickly melts away Low on one of the nearby branches Small green figure with a leaf-style bandalier You have learned the shape of your shadow Says staring at you big black-blank eyes very sad voice The knowledge hurts it always does It does hurt. It's been a very stressful Few months and I don't know if I've completely come to terms with everything that's going on
But it it seems like you might already know I Know some but not all I Know we are trapped and I know time has moved differently for us I am thankful I think That my friends were spared this feat Do you know how long it's been? Like 115 years 115 winters you speak the number as though it were an ending Yeah, we might not have very much time left There's some bad people out there that are Trying to take Willow Shore and slumber No, they'll destroy the Tansuki monastery and the great Suke Trees Tell me For what do I owe the pleasure of the Saki and your company?
Well We're trying to Have you heard of transmigration before? No, well, there's these Mindscapes and like two hours later Whole thing like all the information that they've gotten I so we're we're trying to get the lantern back into To relight it and save Will Shore. I think I understand You wish to study the knot but be careful For some knots tightened when they are named This curse is not just a single spell or a ritual gone wrong It is a bargain renewed through forgetting I Think I understand And you can give me Oh, this is consulting the experts I think with someone like Kodama a Kodama spirit. This is gonna be a nature check cool I'll subtract two from the DC
Probably my big D20 Hmm I'm going to turn in here point Yeah, there are points six on the dice because it's happened more than once. I just read it again I know you're not supposed to turn them in for this because this is my game and you can turn them in for dice rolls natural 15 26 there we go 26 yes That is a standard success you get a research point with great willow Which brings you up to four research points and your next threshold Including a metaphorical nod and concession toward longevity and life itself is important This ritual requires feathers from a heron long believed to live for centuries and capable of Purifying spirits as they transition to the new lives You know, these would make a perfect component for a transmigrate ritual the feathers must be gathered from a living bird
Who must still be alive when the ritual is cast Beyond this the burning of rare incense And specially treated slats of Sakaki wood These would serve as the best components for the ritual However As the great willow tells you how to prepare these components The process of preparing the Sakaki slats is expensive and time-consuming But there is some some there is some exciting news Great willow hints towards a potential more powerful version of transmigrate It might allow for more than just the souls More than just the people to escape from the mindscape More yeah, what do you mean more than just their souls? Is there any info name everything you can think of that's in this mindscape tree sure keep going
Houses yep, okay going okay fishes manifest the mindscape into the living world sort of hey, okay Go oners mansions coming That's like a mansion is like a tartus. It just gives pop in and out real estate moves here And that's just potential. That's just a thought Okay, it sounds like it'll be really hard to pull off Yeah, we're never gonna do it Here's the bad news Well good news and bad news good news is you can prepare dozens of these Sakaki slats this Would you can do as much as you want at any given time probably only limited by money? The process can't be rushed and Takes about six weeks Do we know anywhere that there are Sakaki trees? The paper mill was really good about keeping some of these on order
Without it, you're gonna have to find another way to supply that which will probably just mean costing money the paper mill we saved Right we save that mill There was a dollar some shit yeah, it burned down the paper mill burned down is destroyed. We did not save it You don't know. Yeah, oh, no Well, it's a good thing we just spent all of our money I Can get more Sakaki wood is commonly used in shinto rituals Very common tree So good news bad news from the Great Willow and then you have to return the loan Walk back there is something I need to find though. Give me a fortitude save 22 oh Never mind. You're not exposed long enough to be fatigued
But I make sure that Willow knows that I'm very grateful For their time and wisdom. I have a grateful Sakaki it's real good I'm glad you liked it. I thought out of the tree. I stole it from Gartis's cabinet Gartis is sitting at home. I just know yummy stealing my Sakaki How are you supposed to clean the dishes? I Imagine after so Gartis spends the whole day at home in his underwear wrapped in blanket Pops is trying to keep himself awake outside of a shrine red is just kind of Roaming aimlessly around town on cloud nine after his encounter with Elizabeth and Ari is Soaked to the bone freezing her ass off as you guys kind of all converge on the cerulean bore at the end of an eight-hour day
You guys begin to share all the revelations and epiphanies you've had so that's done You guys still have some time Whether it's crafting or retraining or What have you? What does this evening look like Pops is trying to be social somewhere is He's really hungry to get to know the people and to see if he can help them As soon as you guys get back I ate all the potatoes That's a fine I mean there's plenty left if you check the broom closet like there's a whole stash in there Oh shit, we have like 500 potatoes probably now. I did not check the broom closet for potatoes What do you think I'm sleeping on? So lumpy Ari is gonna be working with bread after she thaws out and changes her clothes time for a workout
Yeah, I'm ready. I I think you'd be proud of me I walked all the way up to the Great Willow tree all by myself in the snow. It was cold wet I didn't even complain no one would have heard me, but I didn't even complain I am proud of you because that's what it's all about kids about mental toughness now carry this bag of potatoes It smells weird. Well, you know Hey, I mean these different parts of the bed smell different. Oh, he's been sleeping on Different parts of the bed smell different Ari, I think to get die hard you got to come closer to death have pops. No, you don't got to come closer to death You got to come closer to live in crack You got to experience some Some real suffering on the on the live inside of things, you know, you got to get out there and do stuff Think it's all about cardiovascular health Muscle and muscle, you know, put on as much muscle as you can and sleeping on potatoes. We're gonna put 30 40 pounds of muscle on you
You're gonna be massive You only weighs like 30 pounds Yeah, like for red or pops you might put on 30 pounds and then not really even notice that there's a giant difference But it would literally double ours She's stacked. Yeah, she'd look great. I would need new clothes You wouldn't be able to clap If you were hard to play my Irhoo Nah, Irhoo is easy to play because you do the finger in a long way from the bow, you know So your hands don't have to be close together. It'll be fine Yeah, I'm gonna start retraining. I'm doing it. Yeah Going back and forth. I hate that's I know. I hate what are you retraining ritualist? Are you sure what why I'm dead serious. Okay. I'm deadly Well, we keep finding out more stuff and we're gonna be here for a while Like it's gonna take six weeks to do the thing So retraining takes a week every time you guys go one of those down make sure to check it It's supposed to also require x amount of gold
We will determine that when I call for your skill checks once you guys have hit seven check marks on your retraining We've had like two days right so far if you've used every single one of them. Oh, yeah red has only used one I believe you know, yeah, I've been again the same thing today as I've just yesterday every time an hour goes by You put your book down get up jump up to the roof. I'm the best. Yeah It plays everything with time only for as long as it takes for him to stand up jump back down and then it just cuts Hey guys, I figured out something cool. I can do but I fucking bet like crazy. Nobody else here. Can I bet I'll bet I'll take that right all right Let's try a gold piece. Okay. I have a gold piece right here I flip it up in the air and I jump up and then hit and jump off of the gold piece again to get higher up in the air Yeah, try that when you little piece and then you land and spray your ankles What part am I supposed to be impressed by the the ankle spray? No, I miss it. What happened? You just did a really high jump. You didn't jump off the gold piece
I jumped off of the piece of gold that I do it again. I'm gonna flip a goal. I'll flip my gold piece and you jump off of it No, in an hour Okay, I'll go read a book for an hour about rituals and then I'll come back It takes him that long to catch his breath. Yeah, sure. I'll give you the gold piece out of mine It was still an impressive jump. I've never seen ice's angle for that long. Yeah, you really think those shoes would be better at absorbing shock The only dwarf I've ever seen jumped that high before is Cedric So this is like a super impressive piece to me You even have the gold piece just for that guy has some ad hops. That's for sure Mad ups. I'm down to 50. Oh, he doesn't That's like his nickname around town is mad at Cedric. Yeah, man. Not because of alcohol. That's because he's an alcoholic. No, no That's why they call you mad hop Yeah, no, it's true They call you When the people see you walk around they're like there's mr. hops. There's mr. Rye There's mr. Potato mash, you know what I mean people had a lot of names for you. They were all based on
You're just making this shit up. Yeah, I am they also called you that before yummy stick your ass down I am so talk to her like that. Yeah, come on. She's our friend. Yeah, I'm gonna go way back You didn't even steal in my socky me and yummy my go back what Further than me Drunk necromancer now that's something you don't want walk around town Hey, you don't need it anyway, Curtis. You're clean, right? Yeah, yeah, it's not a big deal. There we go Although we do still got to wash the dishes. I think I've seen him drinking the socky Show me fucking liar Guys have you been drinking again? I told you not to throw things at me anymore What have you been throwing at her throw anything at her? I tried to shut the door shudder into your room, but apparently She has spells Yep She's like yummy is actively pouring arey like a cup of tea with maychan. Thank you
I can't You guys said I was a bokeh neco You are a bokeh neco looks like a dirty little cat bokeh neco's Don't take offense to Curtis's stupidity. It's not your fault. Okay yummy. Why was this stupidity be my fault I just don't want you to feel bad because of the things that he says and does. Oh not any more than that stupid little lizard Whoa, that's violet No, yeah, it's not maybe violet is twice the pet you are I mean come on we don't need to get into comparisons neither one of them are our pets. Yeah, you're both people What is pet? Oh Yeah, you know how you brought that one guy to life. Yeah, it made him run around to stuff right friend. It's like a pet. Oh We're not a pet. That's what we've been saying all on Exactly your own person Fokkineco person Fokkineco cat person I like to imagine that yummy just grew a little bit That's a great. Hey, you wear a lot of titles. They're all good. Don't let Gartis get you down with his label right Gartis
She gets it potato man Corn mash Hey, Gordon mash you gotta come So Gartis what did you do today? We all went out and we got some great information. He was jumping around a lot I tried to shut yummy in your room. That's what I did you can do anything else drink some tea I ate all the potatoes that I could you do anything productive. Do you do anything for the ritual productive for the transmigration? Did you do any research? No. Oh, all right I'm disappointed. I read some of the books. Oh, yeah, I was like different from any other time You're interrupting yummy yummy. Yeah, he's talking. Please shut up. Please shut up. I like this Getting the respect I am to Yeah, I didn't understand most of the words in there. Okay. That's all right It's really cool to you try it though. I'm like someone else. I know it should be more about Bokkineco's And not about whatever a transmigrate is sounds stupid. Oh
Transmigrate is how you get back to the land of the living where there's more dead to undead What's wrong with undeading the dead that are in here. There's not that many of them. Yes short supply The ratio of undead to problem is real high when we're trapped in here, you know So they got to stay dead, right? Yeah, like we talked about undeading is bad undeading is bad That was it before you found out that you're all dead Okay, but there's layers to the sun. All right I mean To a certain degree. I'm gonna agree with yummy on this. I'm really enjoying this evening. This is to a certain degree not a hundred percent That's more than I've ever gotten from you before just a little bit Mike, I mean she's soculator. I don't really care what yummy does I guess is what I mean I look at Ari and I'm like I cannot believe these are our co-workers What do you think pop? I think that a lot pops is out on the town. He's not out here this whole time Okay, yes
I just like to think there's like a sack of potatoes By the way, those potatoes shouldn't be carrying themselves Ari. Oh, no, I've been carrying these potatoes all around Okay, that's the different sack of potatoes. I swapped well No, I swapped out the smelly one for one that didn't smell bad. She was rolling a couple of them across the floor Yeah, he's a fucking narkey If you do it, he's part of toughness. That's how you get tougher is ingenuity. It's part of the exercise I got to like lean over and roll them. It gets really hard, you know, why were you crying? Let's all be real Let's all be real Ari doesn't have to lean over to roll up potatoes My arms don't go to the floor No, but the potato goes above the floor, you know what I'm saying What are you saying that you're like twice a potato tall That's what I'm saying. I've said it. I have seen some pretty big potatoes. Yeah, they're like soccer balls to Ari
Gartis is about three potatoes tall four with the shoes on Pops you're out on the town and you feel a tapping on the small of your back You turn around you don't see anyone until you look down you see a balding dwarf with black hair and a big black beard and He has a stone gauntlet on And he just winds up and like punches you right above the knees. He's pretty fucking hard I'll rule the hit like dead lake them Uh 24 is a miss. Okay, so it doesn't really like too much you're able to move your leg out of the way symbols for it. Hey You stay out of the happy cap of I see your blue skinned ass and they're gurna swore Hello, uh, uh, I am pops. What is your name? I don't care what your name is if I see you back there again.

You've been pulling in the happy capa What did I do in the happy capa? All right, Deji's dead.

You damn know well when it happened Don't let me catch you back there if I couldn't help he's already like walking away now. I'm just kid. I'm right next to him He's gonna have our time making space for wow So fast Um, please why don't you just start from the beginning? I don't want to talk to you no more I got stuff to do and you're no good for this town as soon as I can prove it with you I'm gonna make sure you don't step in fun. We'll show it again. Are you heading towards the happy capa now? No

Uh, so Pops takes the hint and he goes directly to the happy capa Ha Nice you go to the happy capa and there are a small group of people outside. There's a Katsune a Tangu Couple of humans Halfling and as you approach they turn around they're like no no no no no no no you can't come back. You can't come back Go away No, no leave. My name is Pops. You're not welcome here. You've done enough as far as I know I've never been here before we saw you here this morning. We know it was you all right Please some guards are coming all right the guards are coming okay get out of here. We don't want any more trouble
I would like to talk about what happened You assaulted poor Veronica over there You broke the statuettes off the bath all right. You've done enough. I Would never do such a thing I only hit people when they asked me to That's not what guards was telling us No, this morning I was at the um Uh, where was I the uh, he doesn't know he's lying. We know he's lying No, well, no, I was at the uh, you're at the shrine. Yeah. Yeah, I was at the uh, the shrine So you're saying you're at three different places the board the shrine and you know, I didn't say that the other people who weren't here said that Lady of souls. Yes, that's the one Falluvial I was at the Falluvial lady of souls. What does Falluvial mean? Prove it Uh Pops doesn't know what they have pop doesn't know you can't google things
Ah Hey, listen, I have I have otherworldly powers um I was praying at the statue of the lady of graves I have witnesses. Please. I wish to help if I can give me a diplomacy check The crowd is obviously getting agitated I guess I should keep it it is a 12 on dice plus diplomacy 10 for 22 So Someone throws a rock and it goes sailing clean over your head just leave if they don't want any more trouble Hmm He's a liar They're getting like agitated and stuff. They're like don't make us remove you Please and you know that no one here even collectively could probably remove you. Yeah Um shoot I guess I'm going to retreat from the situation um
Who else could I talk to to to get to the bottom of this this is very disturbing to me We're gonna have captain jing ping talk to you about it. Okay. I will go see doc uh dr. jing ping I will go I will go see mr. jing ping gone promoted in the entire time Finished his medical degree I mean it was dr. dummy teaching the classes so it wasn't super intense. Yeah a lot of dream time tea A lot of like whatever you feel man No, this is medicine. Yeah, but it's like you know a practice We're practicing we just try to keep people sedated long enough that their body can take care of it themselves It's the best kind of medicine. Yeah, I'm off to go see jing ping you can fix almost anything with a medically induced coma And It is getting late. It is dark out obviously because there's not a lot of daylight hours in winter You guys are starting to notice that pops has been gone for a while
And I imagine Gartis is probably finishing up or in the midst of cooking dinner Yami is having the time of her life kind of telling you guys what to do and how to go about doing it as she feels like she is finally getting respect And kind of no matter what you guys say or do you can't really get her off of the cloud 9 that she's on as like finally she's arrived Is there anything we're missing Potatoes is dinner Potatoes is dinner Nope Have to wait for another day and do more research and more training after a few more hours you guys realize pops still isn't back Should we go looking for him? Yeah, probably Where do we go first? I don't know where would he go he would just find someone random and talk to them and follow them around it could be anywhere Yeah, that could happen that could happen Uh, if you got her he could be at Dommy's
Yeah If you got arrested he could be at jing pangs in the prison Hmm Why would you get arrested who knows what the hell he's getting up to yeah, I mean Gartis was arrested You didn't even do any surprising as pops getting arrested. I didn't even do anything He is kind of a stranger to these people and they might take something out on him Should we be doing more to like a company him and not kind of like set him loose on the town He's a grown-ass man. He could take care of his own business. He's quite charming People like tend to like him after a while Yeah, he's seven feet tall and he runs faster than the wind and he wouldn't hurt a fly Yeah, I mean he would I've been here Capitate someone with a blunt object Yeah, yeah, yeah, he hurt one of the townspeople that's true they were townspeople Okay, but What do you mean is Gartis out of townspeople Yeah, let's not get to cut up in the details. That was a exploratory mission. We were doing science
You know and it takes time and energy sacrifices had to be made. So your science with killing and deading and undeading is okay But my science with deading and undeading isn't okay. You know what? Yeah, I mean he was definitely dead And then you guys did magic and now he's up again. We're gonna have to table this conversation for later We're gonna go find pops What I said I wasn't dead your face was caved in we've been dead this whole time Let me go get my stuff his one eye is still just blood shot Completely red The pupils way too big All right, I'm not sure where these lines are we have to go out and find pops let's go find pops We ain't got a spells for this you guys got magic I have light I got message I got message him. Thank you. But only if I'm within 125 feet. I'll just just keep asking just walk around and cast it
Okay pops on your way to go find captain jank paying you find that most people in little short are happy to help you and don't treat you as a threat They Kind of keep Pointing you in the direction until you arrive to the barracks and the jail very familiar to Gartis Captain jank pang is there. I'm captain jank pang sent to always bring justice and righteousness And you please come with me. Okay, and you follow him in and he kind of like gestures to this very unfamiliar looking room It has one small window and it's part of he's like will you wait in here? Oh Yes, I just have some questions the door behind you as he kind of like pushes you in When you get a chance lock What's the way? What's the way? I did a good job today Captain jank pang always does a day's work
He just so impressed with that fugitive with all of his weapons on him That's funny And uh after a few hours of searching and asking around town This is where the three of you find him Okay, waiting very patiently in a cell where he's been left to stew for a couple of hours How he feels about that is kind of up to him He feels fine. He just thinks that jank pang is busy He's just like it must be very hard to be a town guard This room is pretty cold because the cell like the windows in the cells are really small But they don't close so there's open drafts in here It feels kind of damp. There's no fire to heat it Galostinics Galostinics, it's just in there cracking out push-ups Non-stop for the last three hours. That's taking a breath All right, jank pang, what is pops in there?
Yeah, what's going on here? Yeah, it's clearly been a misunderstanding It's not jank pang. It's too late. He's gone to sleep, but you see a guard there Hey guys, what's up? What's your name again? I don't remember I know I've seen you around town You just don't know if we've talked this is a falluvial in it We're trying to figure out what that word even means I thought maybe it might be related to fulus falluvial, you know like uh a source of magic Maybe it's fulu vial Look combo. Yeah, it's like a vial full of like crushed up fulus. Yeah, we're a fulu made of vials. Oh Like you break the vial and the magic comes out It's like a bomb. Yeah, fulu bomb I didn't know for us what was that to bomb There's a lot about the gods I find mysterious if I'm being honest. There is a lot we don't know
I'll be honest. There's a lot about my own existence right now that I don't really understand. Like how does let's put a pin in this You know what you guys are making a really good point none of this even matters. I'll beat the shit out of this guard take pops out It's Joey woe. Oh Joey woe. Joey. What the hell man? Why is pops in here? Just Follow jank pangs orders. What about for god's sake? All right. Yeah. Well, we're the keys are right there. Go let him out. No What do you mean? No, yeah, I don't take orders from you. Well, why is he in there? He's an innocent man. Don't you know who we are? Can I hear the conversation? Can I hear the conversation from myself? Yeah, you guys are like all right there outside. I'm like Hi guys. I'm just waiting to speak with the jank pang Pops out you get in there. There's been some sort of unfortunate misunderstanding apparently somebody who looked like me
Nobody looks like you pops. That's the same town looks like you did a bunch of damage down at the happy kappa some Stout handsome dwarf Was very upset with me Oh Did he seem just like really chill like the kind of guy who could watch your kids or moving on you know I think we could be friends. I think we will be friends as a cedric. Yes, that's the one So you're saying I'm looking at talking to Joey woe and in order to get him out of the cell We have to get jank pang to get down here and tell you it'll let him out Or Matsuki could give him a pardon for what you haven't told us. I don't know But according based on what he sounds if he's the one responsible for what happened and that happy kappa He's in trouble. What the hell happened to the happy kappa? Why did he just whistle? Because it was terrible down there. I wasn't really a whistle. He just kind of blew through his lips I was afraid on how the mic was gonna take it Now and now it's cannon that Joey woe we can't whistle
Not well Okay, so what happened what happened to the happy kappa we still haven't gotten there I didn't get an official report. I didn't look Joey you're terrible Dodgy you guys came down here in the middle of the night to do a jailbreak Joey we were just trying to find our friend he didn't come on Yeah, but then you guys started trying to like order me around I don't feel like you've got even a little bit of agency in this situation Do you know who I am? Do you know she is founding member of the shit house for You're not even in the shit house for I am now. I just made myself an honorary member Yeah, Joey woe here is not gonna do shit without somebody else telling him to do it So let's let's go get jank pang Joey, I want to bring violet back just to kick your ass. I'm sure jank pang is busy I will wait patiently for him to return and then we'll get to the bottom of this He probably won't be back to the morning. I'm trying to convince you guys to come with me We'll go to jank pang's house right now. What about if we go to the happy kappa. Maybe we can fix that situation
Let's go get pops out first. Okay. We'll go to jank pang. He was with you all day You know where he lives. I don't even know where he lives Yeah, we know I want to where everybody lives. It's a big sign over the door that says captain jank pang And then in smaller letters says brings the vibe You can't miss it. He definitely would have something that's completely Like a sign or something over the top. That's that's the type of person. There's also a neon sign in the window that says the same thing Really complicated neon says the zen hut. Thank you My memory feels me sometimes. It's got like upside down pineapples and flamingos and shit in the window Yeah, let's go. Let's wake him up. Yeah It's gonna go to jank pang's house and just beat on the door until he answers it Uncapped in jank pang and I haven't had someone beat my door in a while gross Why is he saying like that? Why are you doing at my house at this hour? She's improper. Why did you arrest pops? He didn't even do anything. Well, I didn't really arrest him
I was getting a lot of complaints about him And I wasn't sure how to handle the situation. So I just asked him to wait somewhere Where I wouldn't have to worry about it for a while Well, he can wait at the serenely in t house with us Yeah, we'll supervise and he caused a lot of problems Any problems he was with me all day all day you can vouch for him all day Well all the way up until he went on a walk in the evening when you arrested him What about that brief period of time where you left him at the fluvial native souls and you were reminiscing about your encounter with a little You don't know shit about that Jank pang you're so full of shit You're gonna count for all of his time then red. I give you my personal Yeah, he was with red all day. They're all a little skeptical wait hang on jank pang shut up Me puts his hand right on jank pang space You guys now actually a little worried because I actually wasn't with him for a little bit like what if he was

I but I didn't leave with him What if he did fuck some shit up a happy cat? No, it happened this morning. We you wait Did you just say he did fuck shit up?

We're trying to get pops out so that we can yeah, but he just he seems more receptive. Can you just like release our friend or at least talk to him when she says release our friend She's not talking about She's talking about pops. He was like stop shimmering his robot from his shoulders. Oh Yeah, we got to get pops out man. He's important. We got work to do. We're trying to save the whole town You need to find a lady For a guy hearing that I don't know it is my job to protect Willow Shore and if this guy is causing problems He's not causing you don't know that he is you haven't even talked to him. You just hold him in jail like you did with me No trial or anything who tore up the happy kappa will go find out we'll take him with us. We'll look for evidence We'll figure it out like you'll take him with you to help hide the evidence. Did you even look for evidence?
Yeah, you know, you know, you're not entirely sure what that is. You're But do you have any facts to support your claim? Facts like sharks are older than trees. No, but that's pretty cool, right? Is that true? Could that be a true thing? Fun facts are not allowed in this session Wait just a minute I once read that there were giant mushroom trees before there was regular trees. Do those count as trees? Are they older than sharks? How old are these trees? I don't know This we are String far from the point. They are older than sharks. Yeah, so yeah fungus isn't trees fun fact Let's Cup jing pang come with us. Let's get pops out. It's way too cold and I'm only in my robe Just write us a note for on some shoes or something. We're not leaving pops in jail all night like you did with me It's just one night. I don't care Yeah, it's mean we don't take away people's freedoms for no reason. It's for a reason. It's not fair
There's four reasons five eyewitness reports That describe pops there's no one else in town that looks like pops and I'm jing pang and I know how people look all right Well, you got three eyewitnesses right now who've all seen wrongful imprisonment. Yeah. Yeah, are you gonna go in there? Are you gonna be in there for a day? Because you're wrongly imprisoned people? I was popped in your prison Did you list his rights when you put him in jail?

He doesn't have to I mean we'll go home tonight But he can come investigate the happy copper with us tomorrow. We just gave our word that he'd be on house arrest I don't think that's a good idea.

Yeah, plus we're all dead and law doesn't exist That's right Maybe we can get said jerk to come hang out with you so you won't be lonely You know, I mean you'll probably just pass out drunk. I feel bad that I've got on it So many people's bad side and I don't even know how Yeah, I don't think it was actually something that you did, but we're going to figure it out. Don't worry. Okay I think you're innocent I do too. I don't know if you're innocent
