013 Dungeon Delve: Goblin Alliances and Unexpected Allies

Uh, all I really had written in the end, because I don't really take notes during the dungeons, was the part who finishes the dungeon with a bond of secrets!

And I think five goblin warriors in tow. Five? No, nine. I've locked out. They seem to just keep multiplying. Yeah, nine. Yes? You can keep going. Where am I going? I've said all the things that I know. So I think you guys left the dungeon, right? You want me to go through all my notes? You don't have to. You can summarize it. Corn dog rolled a lot of gnat once. Somehow, a lot of gnat once on attacks. We also found a lot of gold. Yeah, I was just looking at the gold.

So today, since we're out of the dungeon, I can tell us how much. I have that we fought an undead thing. I have no more information on that. Great notes. Great notes. For the thing. I have more notes. Oh, okay. I'm not reading all of them because I have like blow by blows of things and that seems boring. Yeah. We also got some potions. I had accidentally triggered a pit trap, but somehow I hung on and was able to swing into the next room. Or, yeah, I think I swung into the next room.

We fought some more things fauna picked off some rats across the pit the key pretty much opened everything for some reason it was like a master key i guess please eat those you know there's we fought some stinky stuff those stinky big guys that were scary at the beginning, we got the wand fauna snatched it and now has the wand of secrets, see right and we decided to take the shortcut and went back through the spinning wall to

get to the goblins and we had to show them that we knew how to get out because somehow they convinced us that they knew but they were just testing us we also found out that they're homeless and i offered to take them to the goblin cave and we're camping here and love one though okay overnight yep.

Cool anything to add becca i think you have more so what i mostly have, is like the list of materials that we found that's not what you said and that's just boring to run through so we have that but i can report to us all each of us should take 60 gold and a thousand copper solid copper yeah remember we traded 30 gold for the 3 000 copper i thought it was 30 000 copper no it's 3 000 oh so how much copper 60 gold and how much copper a thousand it's just

a lot of cop yeah it is it's fine we can trade it in at a bank if we need to, possibly we can just pay in pennies like the annoying people at the grocery store i mean i was also going to say since it's 10 copper to a silver it's not that i'm like unheard of for like our food at the end that we could be paying with it i pay in eggs part of my drill true yeah so you guys camp overnight yeah that was the plan because

we're leveling up you said we could level up and be ready to go and be safe for the morning.

All right he was gonna make us fight possible i asked if he would be safe to level up and heal anyway and you just say yes so we're good but we're already healed using my own words against me yep you guys talk to the goblins at all at night or do you just go to bed and, leave the homeless goblins out no i said we were gonna take them to the other goblins right i already offered to take them there right and you're camping. They don't have tents. Neither do we. Okay. Open air star night. Uh-huh.

I'm going to put popcorn and corndog in the wagon so that they're kind of contained. Okay. And I'll sleep in the wagon with that. Sure. So you're avoiding the goblins? No, I'm tired. We just battled a whole bunch of things. What are you writing? Nothing.

Our demise. right there kayla you guys talking to the goblins nope she's a she's an elf she's above them, i'm cleaning off a nice space i'm gonna have a little bit at them just about how fun the dragon's gonna be to live with to love our other friends they seem what's the word trepidatious when you mention the dragon, I'm going to lean over as she's saying this and go, it's not a real dragon, but don't tell her. Oh, okay. They look amongst each other.

They don't know what any of the people are doing. Oh. Oh. Makes sense. I don't know if any of that was loud enough. Maybe. Makes sense. Makes sense. So in the morning, we go home. You're home. Where did you come from, anyway? Villages. What happened to the villages? Bad thing. How far away are these villages? Where are these villages? As a man? Or gone? Are we in danger? Oh, that's why it was better. No. Yeah, that's why it's not.

No, no, we went underground and we ditched the rock. and we went underground in that. The rock? Yeah, the rock. The rock where you live? No, no, the rock, the bird. Why did you have a rock? We didn't have a rock. A rock took our village. Oh, you didn't say that. You just said bad things happened. Yeah. Because it's the rock. Yes. R-O-C. A rock smashed our village. Sorry, I'm picturing Dwayne, Ralph Johnson, right? That's why I remember you laughing He's a little for the people's own.

Big rock Crust our village Chased us We found escape Underground Found our way into that dungeon Did anyone else escape? There's nine of us That's pretty good Should we be on the lookout for any more? If you find some If you're going back towards the rock You can go on your own. I wasn't going to take you. It's okay. I already promised to take you to the other goblin. That's good. You should probably fill your promises. I plan on it. Okay, good.

I don't know what else to say to them at this point. Okay. Do we need their names? Do you have names? I have names. Okay. Give me names. One is named Frut. Frut? Yeah, F-R-U-T. It's like fruit, but not... With LCI? Yeah. There's no umlaut? There's no umlaut. T-i-a-r-d? Is she tired? She might be. Turks? Turks, T-I-R-X. Rart? R-A-R-T. Flugs, who seems to be the only female of the group. Dilk? Keep spelling them because it's helping me know what letters you're saying.

Rart is R-A-R-T. Flugs is F-L-U-G-S. Dilk, D-I-L-K. Chuck? C-H-U-Q. Not what I was expecting. EBS, EBS, and TREAT. T-R-E-A-T. All right. It's your goblin war band. They're a war band? Yeah. Okay. And they ran away from the rock. You might too, if you ever saw a rock. Flora probably would. She probably would. I've hit that level of ADHD where my notes have gotten too long and I'm just done with them. And I don't know where that note just went. Okay.

So, I guess we're going to bed. And nothing is going to happen to you. Seems to be true.

As I promised. Was that good for you? Did you enjoy? That's the noise that we hear surrounding us. Should we lay on your bow? Yeah, so you guys go to bed, you wake up in the morning, nothing bad has happened this time. Because the DM promised us. We'll be saved, uh-huh, yep. Okay, so I got my parents to watch the eggs this morning, I believe. So I'm not worried about going back to town right away. Do you guys want to head right to the goblins and we'll introduce them? Sounds like a good plan.

So, we will head to the gobblos. Okay. You head towards the gobblos. Borts for the gobblos. And eggs the gobblos. And I'm organizing my goblin. And Kron the dragon. You really only have three? Yeah. Well, now you have 12. So were the two already there, and then you moved the dragon there?

Higher or low? how are you asking wrong it's always a worry when he asks this he just said wrong so.

Well he promised nothing would happen to us while we slept didn't promise us nothing to do i got it i got it, all of a sudden you hear a whinny it's not another rocky oh i look around and say is that another rocking horse before anything else i look around yeah you see a pony run out from the bushes, look scared just out front me around like give me an investigation or an insight check or an animal handling check. If I can get my Dysunth, that would be great.

Sixteen. Okay. Yeah, just looks not necessarily frightened, not aggressive. Maybe lost, maybe wild. Something in that round. I'm in that wrong character. Moron confused. I just said moron. Yeah, I was processing that. I've had more so confused. Running past us, running at us, running alongside us, like which direction is it to us? It's like in front of you and it is out in front.

Running like it doesn't know where it's running it's just suddenly broken into a trail added area out of the woods and so it's confused so it will decide which way it's going to run, what should we do popcorn's not fast enough to catch that i don't think it sees you guys and seems a little spooked well i you're the horse girl yeah well i've asked should do you want me to rope it? Do you want me to get it? Should we just let it go on its merry way? How does the pony look?

Like, does it look hurt? Does it look tired? I know it's startled or scared. No, none of those things. But it's about ready to run off of the trail. If you want a new pony, you better go get it. I'll go get it. How are you going to go get it? I have mine.

So I'm going to ride mine and then rope it okay question we had two horses right were they both pulling the wagon or were you riding alongside the wagon i forgot we had the wagon i mean you might be able to if you you're the horse girl so you might be skilled enough to quickly unhook one of the horses jump on the yeah that's what my plan now is so give me a animal handling check to unhook from the horses. 19 Okay, you unhook the horse from the wagon Give me Give me a What would it be?

Not necessarily, it'd be more like a land vehicle which I don't think you have a bonus to So just give me a straight roll See if I'm catching up to the horse.

That is 18 Okay, yeah, you catch up to the horse Now give me an animal handling check to see if you rope it, 30 20 yeah you rope it this it rolled very poorly it like reared up directly into the hoop the loop the lasso whatever you call it so you now have a pony hey i'm all happy i like this one right off the bat you now have a random pony but it seems scared now because it is captured, I have carrots in my bag of holding.

Can I also use maybe my speech of the woods and talk to it to try to calm down? Sure. And I'm going to give it a carrot. So it's just that it can understand me and I can decipher their noises and motions. I don't know. Hey, buddy. We're here to help. We're not going to hurt you.

Are you hurt? Are you okay? We're going to get in. Who are you why have you roped me hello Becca you still there yeah it's very hard to actually tell what he's saying unfortunately, I've repeated for a lot of stuff. Someone will tell her what I said, i've also forgotten i was too distracted laughing he said oh why have we roped it okay, It's okay. We're just going to help get you saved. Do you not want a rope? Will you follow with us without a rope? Uh, yeah.

Do we trust that? No, you might want to insight. I'll insight. Well, you guys don't speak horse. So Becca needs to insight. I won't. I want insight. I wish Di was going to do me well tonight. Probably not this one. That's a seven. Uh, yeah. He might. He might be okay. Okay, but you also know he's fearful. He doesn't like our rope. He might follow us if we take it off. I think we have a good chance of that. Can you ask him why he was running? Or where he was running to?

Where were you running from, buddy? Or where were you headed? I don't know. I'm lost. Where'd you come from? I don't know either. Do you have any owners? What?

And the horse just starts crying the pony petting it very mobbly, does Merriweather still have a carrot in her hand yeah I'm going to give him the carrot and then pet him he's like I'm too I'm too emotionally exhausted to eat and then he's like chomping on it while he's telling you this, ask him if he wants to come home with me and tell him I have a lot of other horsies and a other pony type creature thing.

My friend here and I pointed at Meriwether, she has a place that has lots of horsies and other things like you like ponies. If you would like to come with us, she'll give you a safe place to stay and feed you and keep you warm. You see him turn towards Blaze and he's like, She cool? And he like, sniffles. And Blaze is like, she's cool. I'm in. She's cool, bro. I'll take the rope off of the pony.

Me an animal handling check that's it's own fault at this point if he runs away it is its own fault because he built a natural one so i'm trying to determine whether or not he's terrified 13 okay. He stays frozen like you would do if like you were trying to hide from a predator.

I get out another carrot and walk away from him and just hold it out to see if he'll follow me yeah fauna you you hear him saying i i couldn't i couldn't take another carrot as he's following you with the carrot and he's like trying to jump i love this okay so i'm going to use the rope find a stick attach the stick to the back of my horse dangle the rope down and just kind of, Carrots, the pony follows us back. He stops following. Well, what's wrong now? Back at what's wrong now?

Uh, hey, hey, why, uh, why'd you stop? It's trying to trick me. No, I promise you. I've seen the carrot stick trick before. You eat the carrot and then beat me with the stick. There's no trick here and no stick. There's a stick? Yeah, I put a stick to dingle the carrot from, so that way it can follow us on the way home. It's just to try to make you feel safer, so you have a way to keep up with us. Well, I don't feel safe. If you'll follow us anyway, we cannot use the stick and carrot.

Yeah, don't use the stick. I'll take the carrot. I just give him the carrot and put the stick down, and we just go on our merry way. Yeah, he just...

It's a carrot and i was like okay such a dramatic little guy i love this point what was his name yeah well that was my next question do you have a name for him no, a perfect name for you as in a warrior girl good one here guys i said boy i don't know you can choose so we have piccolo flame a flame not blaze that's why i was giving you a weird look i'm like blaze who in the world's blaze, the sass the sass, who's blaze keep track of my 20 horses yeah.

To be fair we don't say their names too often i should probably name the rest of my chickens at some point i don't even remember about the name of the pony blaze i believe is a marking pattern on a horse which is why they name a bunch of horses blaze which is why i thought flame was blaze it's like a strike down face yeah i don't even remember what we named the rocking horse at this time at this point rocky okay so rocky pickerow flame and iggy that's a rock yes what does he look like I see Kay.

What, the pony? Yeah. I don't freaking, you can't do it. I'm working off the imagination here. Yeah, paint me a picture, Mike. Pony, I'm gonna give you the first picture. That's up for me. Chestnut color. No, no, I'm gonna go with this one. This one's the sassy boy. Oh, the one that's kind of prancing? Yeah. It's light colored, kind of tannish. It's kind of Palomino. Like Palomino. This Palomino is Palomino. Thank you. That's from Bob's first. Well, I'll think of a name for it and let you know.

If I just all of a sudden yell out a name, you know why. Yeah. Okay. So you guys are taking on unnamed horse back to your home. Greenpuff? Um, I will show Becca the horse. Do we like Duke? Tucker? Who's associated Tucker with a dog? Do we like Duke? Since he's kind of sassy? Felix. Felix. I kinda like Felix. Okay. Ask the horse if he likes the name Felix. What about, would you like to be called Felix? I mean, that'll work. Does it come with carrots?

It will come with carrots. I look at Meriwether. More carrots are going to be needed. This one's a carrot-er. I grab another carrot. This one's a carrot-er. And then I give Piccaro and- He's a little chunky boy. And flame a carrot, because I feel bad that they didn't get any yet, and this one's had, like, four. This one's a baby. Hmm. Okay.

How old is he? i don't know is he does he look babyish or does he look older just told me the picture looks baby so i guess so he's just a baby and not like a small he's not a sebastian little sebastian he's baby baby horsey he could be both they're not mutually exclusive well that's why i'm asking for clarification. Just a baby! Choose. Make your decision. Tell me a baby. Okay. It's just a baby!

You have a horse you have a pony i feel like i'm just collecting all of the ponies at this point yeah you're the horse girl, every town needs a horse girl right yep winston sorry i just saw that name it's perfect it's perfect do we want to change it to winston instead of felix okay well you're gonna have to change that because I close the, refresher character page and go to extras. Do you like Felix or Winston better, Becca?

I'm good with Winston. Okay, we'll change it to Winston. It's dignified. Also my favorite character in New Girl. I know. I knew as soon as she said Winston, you were going to jump on that. It worked so well for the horse, okay? I'll actually write their names down. I have a feeling I'll be collecting more. We do seem to be accumulating pets. Yeah, we have the chicken thing. I mean, you have three farms between them. Yeah, but Batgo's isn't really a... Like an animal. Like an animal farm.

You don't have communistic pigs? Is that what the whole point of the story is? I didn't read it. I just pretended to, and then took part in the discussion in class. I didn't have to read that one. So I don't know. Yeah. Same. Oh, well, that's cause you lived out in the country. They don't want you being tainted by communists. Ours was actually a lesson on how communism was bad. That's why they made it. Wait, since we saw this horse running, kind of scared-ish.

Can I look around to see if I can see what it was running from? I feel like that's important. Give me a roll. I'm going to tell you it's going to be a nat 20 to get what you're looking for. And it's probably not worth it. But go for it. Do I add anything to it or not? Straight roll? You're doing perception or? Perception. 21. You see a broken stick. Like a bigger stick. But it's a broken stick. Do I see blood on it? No, you see a huss print in the mud between the broken pieces.

Okay. My curiosity is settled. Winston broke the stick. That's what I was going to assume. And scared himself. Oh, that's not what I was assuming. And then ran away. He doesn't like sticks. Oh my goodness. Fauna, can you ask him why he's afraid of sticks? Hey, Winston, buddy. Yes? I noticed the stick you stepped on and broke over there. Is there a reason why you're not so fond of sticks? This is the second stick-related issue. I did not break any sticks. I don't know what you're talking about.

But there was a monster in the woods that was breaking bones. Breaking bones? Did you see bones? Only sticks. We'll look a little closer. I'm going to go look for bones. Yeah, no, you're pretty sure. There's no bones. It's sick. I convey that to everybody. So just an irrational fear of sticks? No, he's dramatic. This is his character trait. Got it. Not a reliable narrator. Onward. Okay. Onward. Yeah. Onward.

Two carrots. Two carrots, I guess. You don't hear this. Oh. Ah. Okay. So you guys go onward. I know it took us a while to get here, so I assume it's going to take us a while to get back. Yeah. It's going to take a wee bit. A wee bit to get back. Get the roll. High or low? I've got to re-roll it, because they never know what a 10 is. Who? You or Becca. High. You're lucky. It was high. So you don't want to fight a monster. We've fought enough monsters.

Okay. So then no monsters appear on your trip to the Goblin Cave. I mean, unless you wanted to fight a monster. No, somehow I want a horse by rolling the opposite or picking the opposite. I think I'm good. I love Goblin that one. Even though he is a dramatic little dude. Okay. So we head to the Goblin Cave. Yep. With no issue. I guess I'll jump out of the cart and I'll head toward the cave entrance and say, knock, knock, eggs, crumb. You around? Yeah. You got eggs? I got friends.

That wasn't the deal. It hasn't been long enough for more eggs. Well, you probably are friends. Yeah. You can start your own village. You hear grumbles from inside. Come say hi. Fine. They're going to hate us. We're collecting horses and goblins and just passing them off to them. We're like, here you go, relocation. They needed a home. They lost their home. You see Furt come out the front. What is this about goblins? Meet goblins. At least it's not another dragon.

Yep. You hear from a gay Gron go, hey!

You love dragons they keep you safe dragons keep you really really safe and they're real nice, so i'm gonna go i just looked at the new goblin names and blanked on furt's name for a second i'm gonna go furt i'd like you to meet frut we're gonna have to talk about that name tr, turks rart flugs dilk chuck ebbs and treat okay what do you guys bring to the party.

Conversation with himself in different character voices i have done that as the dm it's hilarious, painted yourself into a corner yeah what do we bring action we bring action we bring defense Weapons? We once defeated a mechanical monster? They did. We saw it. Yeah. They did see it. We did it right in front of them. Stole their kill. I mean, to be fair, we were trying to run away. Yeah. Cowards. Cowards. Wow. But they brought us here, so we'll let it slide.

So you got room? We'll make our own beds. and then lie in them.

Yeah. Okay. Did you forget you were the other goblins? Yeah, I did. Sure. You're responsible for your own eggs, though. We will not feed other goblins' eggs on our limited salary of eggs. At that, Flora's gonna turn away from them and just go, yes, that she doesn't have to provide extra eggs because she only has so many chickens. Oh, Flora, do you Do you have more eggs? Not right now. Not until I expand the farm. Sorry, guys. I guess you're going

to have to wait until she expands the farm. Otherwise, you're going to have to find your own eggs. And stay away from my eggs. He needs his girlfriend. They don't know that. Yeah. Eggs didn't come out. Right. She's almost doing something. They all agree. And Fert shows them in where they can set up. It's a smaller part of the cave. For all nine of them? Yeah. Listen, they showed up on Fred's doorstep with no extra eggs. You think he's just going to give them their own perfect room?

No, he'll, he'll put them in the room. That's like, before you get to Furt and eggs, like living room. I don't think I can show you the map. I still have the Furt and eggs. Blair. Yeah. I don't think that's when you've shared with us. so I don't have a gun. So, basically, it's kind of the entrance where they'd kind of be guarding hurting eggs at this point, where they're located. Yeah, we'll take them. Don't make a mess. Don't eat our eggs. If anyone comes, protect us.

Is that, uh, is that small horse for Eden? No. Okay, then stop floating around here. Get out of here. Start by Winston. Uh-huh. We make lots of friends. Sure. Then dump them on us. Yeah, you get all the goblin friends. I get all the horse friends. She gets all the chickens. Seems that way. I have an abyssal chicken now. I point at the corndown for... Ugh, gross. Gross. Black magic eggs, and I'm like, you want one? Yeah, I'll take one.

It's magic. I don't know what it'll do if you eat it. I'm mad. What does it do? Selina's face is like, what does it do? I guess, boy, well. The interweb? I thought ahead of this, just like Furt did. Okay. Let's see what happens to Furt, now that he's eaten your egg, your magical gross black egg. There's a lot of rolling involved in this, and I'm alarmed. Oh, we rested. There are spell sloths. Okay. Four flumps appear nearby. They're like floating jellyfish-like things, I think, if I recall.

Yeah, and it looks like Furt has accidentally cast Entangle on himself, so everybody around him is pretty much entangled. Uh-huh. It would wear off after a little bit. It's not that big it is. We're not going to go through the rolls. What do the flumps do? They just kind of... Flumps? Flump around, yeah. After a while, they flump off. Do we know what flumps are? Probably not. I'm going to pull out my notebook and write them down because I think I've just

seen more imaginary creatures come to life before my eyes. Yeah, definitely possible. I want to touch it.

A flunk? Mm-hmm. Okay, you're going to have to give me a roll on that one. What kind of roll? Just going to be a straight roll, because this is, or an acrobatics roll, maybe? Or athletics roll? Because this is not an animal. 22. Okay, yeah, you're able to touch one. Okay. Like the sound it makes as it tries to jet away is the flump sound of its name. It's so cute. It's like squishy, jelly-like, but it does not like this. That's okay. It's so cute.

I only touched it once. My curiosity has been fulfilled. And I was told to leave with the horse, so that's what I'm going to do. Yeah. Okay. You're lucky you didn't release its stench spray. Is it like a skunk? I don't know. That's probably what Bora would think. Hmm. Okay. So, that is that, you guys. What do you know? I'm going to look at Bert. I'm going to say, maybe we don't eat the magic ones. You can't. Can't? Oh, I'm real tempted to just eat one, but I refrain.

Do it. Do it, you won't. No, you won't. You're right, I won't.

Ready to go back to town, guys? Yes. I think so. I whisper to Meriwether and Flora. I think I should leave them with any berries, but I don't have enough for everybody. We don't want to cause a fight on their first day altogether. Because they already have a stipulation on the eggs. Yeah, this is true. All right, we'll wait on those. Wilson appears behind you and says, Varys? Are you still Winston? Yeah, Winston? Yeah. Wilson. It's Winston. Winston, I said Winston. No, you said Wilson. Okay.

Wilson the volleyball. Now, Winston, the pony, appears behind you and says, berries? We'll give you berries outside. A berry? Yeah, of course I'm hungry. I haven't been fed all day. Starting to death. Cast good berry then, and I'm going to feed him a berry. And he'll be really nice and full then. That's a lot of berries. one berry why'd you give me so many berries it's like i ate 20. I'm terribly full but you won't need to eat the rest of the day so don't overdo

it. I'd be comfortably full of any of all his carrots. Do you want me to eat them all? I kind of whisper I think he's a little dramatic. You think? Okay let's go we're gonna have to go slow because my tummy hurts. His tummy hurts what's being brave about? Will he fit on the wagon? That's possible. Check to see what his weight is. Well, Google says 100 pounds for, like, a newborn. So, take with that what you will. Our car holds 200. Yeah. Well, you said he weighs how much? 100?

So you can probably fit him on the cart. What else is on the cart? Us. Oh I can walk And I can ride a horse That's fast to the cart I can get out and walk if I need to I guess we don't all need to I'm like 30 pounds You two could probably ride a horse She's gonna ride a horse You could ride popcorn Yeah, I'll ride popcorn and just hang on to corn dog Yeah.

Going with winston and how does winston react to corndog he might look like he's about to take a bite yeah i'm gonna hang on to corndog no biting the chicken winston turns to fauna and goes that's not a chicken that is a chicken nugget oh my goodness i mean maybe it looks a little bit like it but first off you're fool and oh yeah he's a friend we don't need friends what that but that thing's weird looking i know but it's a friend you keep a company

friends you're gonna have to get used to it yeah you got a weird company i mean i heard there was a dragon back there you got all those goblins and then you got this weird smelly chicken and it makes weird eggs i think if i caught on to what was happening yeah it does but you know wait till you see some of our other friends. It's going to be a new world for you. Weird. Well, let's go. It's as if he wasn't the reason everything was delayed. As if he wasn't causing us to slow down. Yeah.

I don't hear any of this, so I'm just... No, no, it's just Fana. I guess once they start moving, I'll follow along on Popcorn. Okay. So you guys head back. Where are you all? I thought we were going to back to town weren't we? I think so I'm not going to make a roll for a random encounter this time. Or yet do we need to tell Raspira that we're back? she gave us the quest right? She did give us the quest I was wondering how late at night is it now?

I mean we left in the morning from our campsite to get back here was it probably afternoon? You left like at least a day ago, right? Yesterday. Yeah, so it was probably around afternoon. Like right now, what time of day is it? Afternoon. Yeah. Oh, okay, I'm just making sure. It sounded like you were saying

we left yesterday afternoon. No. Let's take the horses home and get them settled and we can come find respira then and let her know that we solved her dungeon puzzle okay i'm gonna check in with my parents and make sure everything went okay with the egg delivery because i'm a nervous nelly and i'm just gonna chat in my head please don't be dramatic please don't be dramatic because of the rocking horse when he sees rocking horse i'm afraid he's gonna lose mine so i don't beat you down so you run

into your parents your mom made the delivery she lets you know that helene character is very colorful very strict about time were you late i no i wasn't in the morning how early in the morning oh like 10 o'clock, Ooh, she was mad, wasn't she? I don't know. Maybe a little spicy. Yeah, she uses those eggs for breakfast, and breakfast starts early. Hmm.

Well? Well, thanks for delivering them anyway. You're welcome. Is that all you want? I don't think I have anything to give her, so I give her a hug. Okay. See you later, Mom. See ya. Don't let Hilling give you any guff. I don't think I have much choice on that one.

And closes the door okay stinky breath and he's doing it again yeah just got a whiff of it i was like holy crap dog it's a stinky wife is there a cupcake on the roof of the house probably not i'm gonna add a cupcake okay and then i assume we need to know if the rocking horse scares winston yeah once again please don't be dramatic please don't i mean i can't understand it anyway so that That might be Pekka's problem.

Also, I would say, like, my general thought is, assuming you guys are kind of next to me as we're having these conversations, I've been translating between us, like, all the time. Oh, yeah. So, I'm definitely, please don't beat your mother, like, please don't beat your mother. Oh, he's certainly going to beat your mother. That's who he is, that horse. That's a pony. Like, please don't scare him. We put a lot of work into this thing. Mm-hmm .

So, you guys arrive at your farm? Or the Rackin horse home? Or was it at her house? No, it's at the farm. At the farm. Okay. You guys arrive at the farm. Rackin horse is probably in the barn, I guess. Everything looks the way I left it. Yeah. Everything looks just how you left it. So, I'll take us over to... I don't even know how... I probably have more, like, one big barn or, like, a bunch of...

I don't know how many horses we have. i don't think too too many but enough it's like i said we're like a ranch so we'll go into, the barn what happens what's uh this is my new home that's what this is it this is your new home oh nice and cozy isn't it where do you guys keep the carrots for tomorrow obviously we'll bring them to you well harry weather here will you'll trust her she's a good egg five star service you got it you'll be able to make lots of friends here

this is one of our really good friends and i'm going to introduce whiston while kind of grimacing and witzing already a little bit to rocky as you he didn't seem to notice rocky this time this whole time but as soon as he turns and looks over and he's like what you're doing that horse this This is our friend Rocky. He's a magical rocking horse. We didn't do it to him. His legs are attached to wood. That's the rest he is wood. Horses do. You turned that horse into wood?

No, we did not do that. He came as wood. Some horrible wizard turned it into wood? I think it was already like a kid's toy, and it got turned into a living horse. So it's the other way around. It was Pinocchioed. Looking around. He doesn't understand what's going on, but he's not going to say anything. He's going to pretend like he does. Yeah, horse was a toy. Somebody brought the toy to life. Okay. I translate that. I'll be translating back and forth both ways. We can probably generally assume.

So, what you're saying is an evil wizard turned a horse into this wooden creature, and then, or turned this horse into like a log and then carved it back into a horse. No, you're making this far more complicated. There was no horse, but there was a toy, and the toy got to become a horse that was living afterwards. He just looks at you in stunned silence like, you know that meme of all the math equations? Yes. That's this.

Yeah this was a horse toy for a child somebody magicked it so it's alive, and we didn't want to leave it all alone so now it's our friend i pat the rocky the rocking horse and winston just shakes his head and goes children are monsters, well depends on the kid he seems to assume the the child has turned this rocking horse into whatever it is. You're probably not gonna explain it to him in a way that he understands. Yeah, not again. I've given up. I've tried three times. Probably best.

It's not just dramatic. He's kind of dumb. I've noticed that too. I mean, he is just a horse. Would you like to share a stall with Rocky? No. No, thank you.

What about next to rocky yeah next to him but i don't want to share my carrots though you won't have to share your carrots everybody gets carrots, perfect and then he like prances into his little enclosure because what do you call it stable no stall stall not paddock what is a paddock paddock is a little enclosure, Oh good, I didn't know what it is Yay So he just prances into his stall And like Does what like dogs and cats do When they turn in circles And lay stuff,

See you later, Rixon See ya See you tomorrow for carrots Sounds perfect, Don't forget me Don't abandon me I have issues with that, Of course we would find a horse with the Batman managers. See? See ya. Sleep well. I'll add Winston to my notes for the ranch hands. And in capital letters, I'll write dramatic. Yeah. Lots of carrots. Or we could just feed him a good berry every day. That would just solve that problem. I think he'll still, like, overeat. I think he's, like, the dog there.

He would give himself to death if given the chance he'd be very upset if he wasn't getting carrots yeah but we're gonna limit his carrot intake don't tell him that nope i mean he'll get carrots just can't know how many carrots are around yeah i leave all that in my notes to the ranch hands okay cool they're probably gonna be like dramatic what do you mean dramatic, they'll know after one day.

Without speaking to them yeah they don't speak animal they'll figure it out, it's possible okay so what are you guys doing, we said maybe we'd go back to your town next to the chickens you want to get i'm already at my farm i broke off from you guys, oh for some reason i didn't realize that i thought you were with us yet i'm gonna replace the cupcake on the hen house yeah i think i was right you did say that Yeah, and we said we would go back to town and visit Rispira.

Just to check in, let her know we didn't die in the dungeon. Okay. You guys seem to arrive probably around the same time to town hall. Yeah. Well, we go in and let her know? Lead the way. Is Cassarae at her desk? Yep.

Becca? Leading the way? That was a very quick yes there. Yep, I am leading the way in. Do you want to tell Cassarae while we're here? So, hey, Cassarae, is it alright? Could we see the Mary Quack? Is she in?

Uh yeah go on in so i guess we'll head in okay the trio how did your dungeoneering go i was afraid you were dead when you didn't come back yesterday well we just decided to spend the night because we made some new friends and we wanted to let them get settled in it seems you're creating a little bit of a goblin settlement over in that cave, you know, outside town. Mm. Bruh. They're not bad. Ah, they tend to live in filth, and they smell a bit. But they're not bad.

They also, they steal shipments sometimes. That was a misunderstanding. Well, you give them more grace than I do. They've been nice they just like eggs a lot oh there's a dragon living there too oh that's not good i'm going to message her in her head and i'm going to tell her it's not a dragon it's a goblin that thinks it's a dragon we just don't tell her that or whoever we're talking to yeah yeah okay oh she just kind of looks at you and nods her head and says okay you know if,

If it's a good dragon, I guess it can stay. It is. So, did you guys get the one? We did. Which one of us was holding it? I thought it was you, because you snatched it off the pedestal. Okay, that's what I kind of thought, too. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't crazy on it. I'll present her with the wand. Look! Here it is! Cool. Cool. Well, so you guys will be able to do many more dungeons now. More dungeons? Yeah. That was the whole point. This was just like a starter dungeon. Great.

I mean, more dungeons! Woo! The whole reason you guys went to go get that was so that you could do more dungeons safely. Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. We did an almost die in that one. That's good. You shouldn't die in a dungeon. No one's going to come save you. I mean...

Have each other it was a little dangerous but we've got some spells and some potions and stuff so it was good fauna make a perception check oh not 20 oh your pocket wiggles a bit, i reach into my pocket uh is that where you had iggy what's that is that where iggy was, Oh good question I think so So Inky is moving around And like looking at him.

I look down in wonder Inky looks back at you in wonder Hi Inky What's happened How are you now alive, You see the mouth on it moving But no words come It's a drawn mouth You drew a mouth on it It doesn't actually have the ability to speak, is it because she drew a face on it that it came alive is it because it's in the book we wrote it in the imaginary creature book yesterday i did not remember that, that was our test and then it did nothing happened so we just assumed it didn't

work maybe it takes a day to work can we open the book and find out none of you speak primordial right, no no no how about southern, yeah because it doesn't really have the ability for language but it's a rock so it would speak ignim which is rock igian no gotcha that makes sense i don't have any spells for like other languages can you write no obviously you can't you don't have arms.

Oh my goodness he just smiles at you, we're still with Rispira right yeah, of this magic things happen sometimes kind of like the rock universe respira can you talk to, rocks no oh okay i mean no i don't know rocks i've just seen a lot of weird things, oh that's pretty mossy stump cauldron oh that's for the most over.

You know we'll get back to the rock but i have a question and i pull out the rope of climbing have you ever seen one of these before yeah that's a rope of climbing how can i get it to work, do we even know what it does at this point like like how does it work what is it uh information I mean, you could probably find the command word somewhere. You can check with old Dave to see if he has some information down at the library. Or old Dave just has information sometimes.

It's a rope. You command it, and it ropes. Not only lasso ropes, but, you know, it goes rope-like. She'll expand a little bit. You know, when you use it, it animates and you can tell the other end to move in a, in a specific direction. And you don't know this so-called command word. I've never seen this rope before. I've seen a rope of climbing. I've never seen this rope. So that you'd have a different command word then. Possible. I've never actually owned a rope of climbing either. Wonderful.

I guess we need to go to old dave to figure this rope out and maybe he knows about. Iggy question mark i mean it doesn't have to ask right so what's this about uh iggy the rock that you want me to translate that i can't it was like a normal rock and now it moves Why? We don't know. Did you cast magic on a rock? We did. A puzzle ago. Based on it. What magic did you cast on a rock? I wrote about it in a book. Oh, that doesn't make sense. It's a spell.

Magical other magical creatures have come to life from it so we thought maybe it was the book what magical i mean we have a new special friend rolling the others see if they want us to share if they want me to share or not right it's just sounding really sketchy like like we're on the really good drugs yeah we're on a really good drugs i look to the two of you to see if i can tell if you're okay with me saying something i'm always skeptical so.

I'll message that i'm like whatever you think is best but we all know i just i'm skeptical towards people i was thinking about pulling the book out and showing her but i'm also a little concerned she's gonna take it so i'm just gonna say we found this book it was at the library we borrowed it from the library oh and it's a children's book apparently but it's full of imaginary creatures and one of them is living in the clouds above my house, that strange and unbelievable.

Forget the part that it's a library book I wrote in the book when we made up Iggy I don't think you're supposed to write in a library I said forget that part don't worry about the fact that it was a library book but we were testing this out if it was the book, and now this rock is alive okay so how you're gonna have to tell me when you figure that one out did we ever look to see if the rocking horse was in the book we looked at everything but it's

not it's not in the book no we also know that the rocking horse is a thing that's made by wizards, I think the spirit told us that. Okay. Yes, I think she did. She knew a lot about it. I had to add to the magnets.

So, why would our rock be alive? Apparently, you wrote in a magic book, and things come alive when you write in a magic book, I guess. Do you know anyone we can ask about this? No, I've literally never heard of anything like this happening before. It's weird, right? It's very weird. Listen, there's other things in this book And Someone wrote notes in this book And it wasn't me It wasn't me But you have written notes in this book Don't worry about it.

In the book. Hang on, I'm trying to find my list. Yeah, aren't they not all friendly? They, they, uh, there's, there's a sometimes scary lion looking thing that's named Dandelion. There's a scary metal man. And there's dragons. Okay. Like actual dragons. Yeah, sounds like a kid's book. But then why are things coming to life? You got me.

Should we be worried if they cause trouble i got my three little adventurers here, are the creatures coming to us because we have the book or no we have rain beforehand rain before the book yeah okay yeah don't worry about that one yeah pretty bizarre how bizarre how bizarre, Well, I am going to then leave. Yeah, I don't know what else to say at this point. Yeah, maybe whether it just, like, awkwardly makes an Irish exit while everyone's distracted.

And I guess I'll go to old Dave to see if he knows anything about his probe. Okay. Then I'll let them know where I'm going through message unless they follow me. We were talking in circles at that point I'm just gonna say like okay I guess I guess we'll let you know if it turns into something we need to worry about yeah if it does take care of it I trust you, you know keep your talent safe okay.

Bye see ya we'll be back later of course okay I'll have another dungeon ready for you I guess that would be great, oh well see you later you guys are going to old dave's yes okay at least that's where i'm going i don't know if they're following me or not yeah i'm following so you head a gigantic like two blocks or a block or so to old dave's general store that's not what it's called but that's name i forgot what it was old dates no that's why do i do this to myself business is,

babes under hope now that's the tower being and gone is old dave's general story wasn't there something else we needed to get from old dave wasn't there something at the general stories that we wanted i don't remember that i don't really think it's just thinking something, look kayla i make it easy, I don't have it written down, so I guess it's gone if we did. We'll just have to. Podcast. I mean, we have been waiting to go to old days just to get the book from Interlibrary Loan.

It's true. And we got materials to clean up Rocky. Yeah, that's the last time. We went to get the stuff for Rocky. I feel like it was something that came up maybe in the dungeons, but I have no idea anymore.

I think they're out of the old days. you guessing yeah yeah what's she talking about all of a sudden just catching out seven left okay so you guys go there all day what can i do for you i have a question huh i seem to have stumbled upon this rope of climbing i hear that you need a command word for it, How can I find the command word for this rope to get a tip rope? Uh, let me see the rope. It's usually only a few different things. Sure. I hand him the rope.

He goes, go and like pushes the rope. Nothing happened. He, fine, nothing happened. Give it like one of those waves through the rope and just goes yeah and it is that the word then, you ever see a normal rope hang in the air nope and then i think that's the word thank you so yeah yeah no it goes with the whole horse.

Can i try yeah and then i go yeah yeah it goes it just almost like limply goes that's the enthusiasm yeah i think it was enthusiasm related there, so when we're like dangling towards up yeah yeah yeah. Okay is that all you need that's all i needed we think so you don't sell any potions or anything here right no not not all the time i got one health potion on me i can let it go for about 25 gold. Oh, really? You know what? I think I'm gonna take that. Okay.

Is it a regular healing potion? Yeah, it's just a regular. So, like, 2-4 plus 2, I think. 25 gold, you said? Yep. They're usually 50, but, like, it's, that's a dumb price for a healing potion, because technically... Yeah, I think it is. Very a deadly price. Well, technically, when you go to make a potion, it takes half the cost to make it or something, and, And basically, it works out to where a healing potion takes 25 gold to make. Gotcha. And so they are, yeah, something like that.

I don't know. They take a day to make and they, I don't know. I can't remember. But it basically works out to where it's not worth making them because it's cheaper to buy them. Pretty sure that's AI. Uh-huh. What? All the figures? Yeah. That or they're polydactyl. Chances are it's AI. No problem. Cause all the small, all the metal fingers are small. And there's like two phones. It's like the, it tried to do this, but it didn't. Yeah. Yeah.

Ocean thanks i'll have to check in here and again to see if you get more in yeah i know you guys are going to bring that book back at some point right yeah of course yeah remember don't write it when does it do why would we write in a library book that's insane some people do it is insane what did i say two weeks i actually don't remember if you said at all i thought i did when we went through the whole, like, stamp card thing? Oh, maybe two weeks, then. We'll have it back, don't worry.

Okay. You have nothing to worry about. Okay, I don't want the Tinyville Library to get mad with me. I mean, that would keep us from ever getting another book again, and that would be a tragedy. That's true, you'd ruin it for the entire town. Townburg, the tiny library that has no more books. Absolutely not going to happen. Not good. So, are you guys done here?

I'm done. Ready, Deb. Let's head back to my place real quick. I need to talk to you. Oh, okay. Let's go. You should probably check to see how Corndog's getting on, too. As soon as we're back at my place, I'm going to go, I don't want to ruin this for the whole town. Meriwether, can you press to digitize this writing away? I can try.

Just my writing not anything else that was already in there because i didn't do that can i be that specific i mean you would look at the thing that you want to get rid of okay, that's why i i press digitize it okay is iggy still alive the father's gotta, it panna check your pocket i check my pocket there's just a rock it was a book, that was what happened to my iggy he's dead he wasn't alive oh he was alive, make me feel bad this is a no-win situation.

About the precious books but ruin it for the rest of the town okay i can't, only there was a way to copy it you know i'm gonna write the entry on iggy in my book with all the other information about the imaginary creatures okay nothing we'll just keep on believing that we didn't kill Iggy. Power of imagination. Or we could write it back in the book, but then we're back when we started. Is there a way to unbind a page from the book? You mean tear a page out?

But without making it look like we tore a page out. How's the binding of this book? I don't think what you're asking me is possible. If you come to me with sources of.

Of ways but no no i don't think that is some possibility i don't know what to do right now because either way i feel bad both me and flora and i i don't want to handle this i don't know i mean here's the thing if we tear a page out not only will it be obvious but what if it loses the magic exactly i don't think tearing a page makes sense we have to find a way to get this book for ourselves. This particular book. I wonder if we can just say we lost it and just offer

to replace it or pay for it, pay for the replacement. What if we may decide, the library like more than what it would cost to replace it do you think they'd let us keep it do we have that kind of money like maybe 3 000 copper right i mean that's 30 gold so that is a pretty good amount why don't you make that negotiation because right now i'm concerned, so i guess we're going back to old days you might have to talk to the tinyville

library so we should give them time to do that for a donation we could just find out if there's a way we could buy the book from them and buy a replacement. We should have just huddled outside and talked about this. Now we have to go all the way back to Old Dave's. Well, did Rain come back today? The cupcake was eaten. So I guess she did. Just making small talk on our way back to Old Dave's. Yeah. Okay. So you guys arrived at Old Dave's? Walk in. So Oh, well, Dave, can we buy the book?

The kids over at the library over there really enjoy this book, so I don't know if they're going to give up the book without a decent donation and maybe even another children's book to replace it. So, like, what kind of donation are we talking about here? I guess you'd have to make an offer. I send the message in our heads and go 3,000 copper. Should we start less? Like maybe 2,000 copper. How much?

Cost you know we just wanted to purchase a new book to send over i'm gonna ask that to old dave well you need a new book to send over and a donation donation yeah but i mean how much is the book itself you probably have to write one yourself like transcribe it no no like, create a story for children like you don't think they'd want another copy of the same book No, that would be plagiarism. Not that we're writing that book, but we buy another copy of it.

I don't know where you can try, but I don't know where you're going to get another copy. This book is too unique. I think so. Pretty old. Just like me. Is there an author on this book? We already got it down. Maybe we need to seek out the author of the book. That's not a bad idea. I mean, I guess, how much does a kid's book in general tend to cost? Well, it'd be free if we were writing it ourselves. No, but I'm trying to gauge something here.

What are you trying- what? How much would a kid's book in general likely cost? I don't know. There is a price somewhere for books. You're talking about an irreplaceable book that the children of Tinyville really like? Like be ten gold. There's more than that. Yeah, I see. Secondhand copies of mundane texts start at 10 for one person is what they set it to. Spellbook with 100 pages is 50 gold. Yeah, I mean, I feel like 10 gold is probably reasonable.

I'm going to send a message to Florida to see if you would go outside to check the name or the author on the book. To go outside and check it? Yeah. Oh, because we don't want to see that. We don't want to pull it. Okay. I'm going to excuse myself and go outside, check the author's name. Uh-oh. What's the author's name? In the meantime, I'm going to rewrite Iggy's entry in the book because I feel bad. Now that I know that we could theoretically press the digitization out and not get in trouble.

We'll say Kenzie. Have we ever, never mind, I don't know this information. Actually, I think they can message me back. Well, I'm gonna come back in after I put the book away, and I'll be like, Old Dave, it looks like the book was written by Kenzie. Do you happen to know if Kenzie is still alive? I doubt it. That's an old book. It's not our Kenzie, right? What do you mean our Kenzie? Oh, that's... Kezare? No, it's not Kezare. Dark braided names. No, I don't think Kezare.

Water do you think there's like an estate that we could go visit or something that i know is there like an about the author section in this book i'll go back outside i look for it about the office listen i'm telling you write a children's book and donate a good amount of money like how much is a good amount i don't know 10 is average so go above that because this is irreplaceable 10 gold 10 silver Dave's getting mad at us we should go thanks we appreciate the advice and I'll walk out the

door you guys follow me yes yeah we don't want to anger the only person that can give us stuff I don't know if we were angry old Dave or my DM.

Stop trying to go to the office estate they're dead it's gone I just wanted to be sure in case we could figure out something about the book I told you what to do donate money and write a children's book i was trying to figure out more about the book okay, give you your sign quest try the children's book yeah start trying to barter with me i go back into old days i need to buy a blank book yeah that's fine, three thousand copies,

i think the blank books are also like 10 gold yeah probably papers yeah we can collectively try to write we can write a story about our travels i was gonna say we could write a story about rain how we got the the magic ball but townberg trio could be a buck, we could tell blue brain and the dragon and we can include rain in it .

Doing all of those are perfect think about our think about rocky and winston we have so many great characters for a kid to fall in love with as we're leaving i'm gonna say to fauna check iggy again i pull it yeah it's a wrap we're gonna have to wait till tomorrow okay what i rewrote the entry in the book gotcha you're gonna wait till tomorrow well yeah because it took her a while, for it to happen so we'll check again tomorrow and then maybe i won't feel bad anymore okay,

what time is it is it like getting close to dinner time that we should just be heading to the tavern oh yeah yeah yeah it's probably close to dinner i don't know why i thought you were asking anyone.

Mike forgot he was god in this game it's true okay so why don't we go get dinner and we'll start writing this children's book can anyone draw i would think that that would be something that i could learn or know how to do all right it seems like you're in charge of drawing, fauna and i will work on the writing and obviously you will work together with us we'll just do the actual writing it out no no okay so let's go into the tavern order some dinner,

Let's go up to the counter of gifts. Hello, Helene. Hello. How are you? I'm good. How are you doing? We're doing good. We're gonna write a children's book. Okay. Cool. I've never written a children's book before, so good luck. Thanks. What's on the menu tonight? Oh, dang. The hard-hitting question. We're gonna say... Oh, those are all drinks. Oh, there's a bread bowl. Fried onions fish chowder and pan fried chicken bread bowl bread bowl.

Three bread bowls coming up alright and then I assume we'll find a table and start working on the book yep I think we have to start with outlining our ideas I'll pull out my paper and open to a blank page so that we can outline. Yeah. We can like... Perception check. Oh. Don't like that. 17. Did you leave a thing on the bulletin board? Yes. Yeah. Okay. There's been... There's a tab missing. Okay. Like one of those phone number tabs. Yes.

And below it, pinned to the wall and like flipped over is a name. Oh, I'll collect it. Okay. The name is Marigold Swift Whistle. Okay. I assume we know Marigold since it's a small town. You might. You might not know them personally, like a town of 70. Well, at least know of them. You could probably at least talk to Helene about who they are, who's their family, that kind of thing.

I mean, I feel like there's a good chance we'd know them. I graduated with like 110 kids and I knew every single one of them, at least enough to know who they were and to talk to them. Yeah. But then.

Like this would be like knowing the siblings of someone or the children of someone you might know right so you might know of them or that that family has two kids but you're not necessarily because the town this town's based off of the town i know is it mark yeah and you would know everybody and by town you mean village yeah you would know everybody's family you wouldn't necessarily you know everybody in the family okay gotcha okay so you might know the the swift

whistles it's uh it's uh specifically yeah the swift whistles are they're hard-working haplings okay so i know of their family so i'm gonna leave my notebook with them and the the blank book that we're gonna write the children's story in and then i'm gonna say hang on just one second i'm gonna go ask about the name and i'll go up to helene and i'll say hey helene okay so i had a response to my ad thank you for letting me post on the board you're welcome do you do you.

Swift whistle? Yeah, about this tall. And she, like, holds her hand lower as halfling. I assume. I know the swift whistles, but I don't know Marigold in particular. She's young, but she's a hard worker. Okay. You think she'd work out for, like, occasional farm help? I'm sure. I'm sure if you... She clearly signed up. You know, I don't know, be interviewed or whatever.

However this system works that you got going on probably a trial i mean i always pay for the trial so like i'm not asking her to do a test for a free year that's good i've heard of those scamming people right who will who won't pay like dingbos fottigold he's cheap i would never do that especially to someone so young yeah that's good okay do you know how i might contact marigold stop by the house? Yeah, probably stop by the house.

And then she kind of tells you where in the neighborhood they are. They're not. They live around the block, basically. They live in town. They're not necessarily farm people. Maybe farm hands, but not necessarily farm people. Would one of them work for me? I don't know. Well, I could have given her more information since you said farm hands.

Oh, would they? yeah well i don't need anyone with experience anyway i it's a very simple job so i don't train them i'm sure miracle will be perfect for you okay it's literally just to help out now that, those two keep dragging me away from the farm i just want to make sure everything's lined up for when i'm not here and make sure you get your eggs yeah make sure the chickens are taken care of yeah it's important to get those eggs

yeah yeah i'm sorry about that i heard my mom was a little late today yeah she had a bunch of flowers on her too i think she was picking them on the way over it's probably when we relate that sounds like her she likes to frolic, makes sense yeah well hopefully marigold will work out a little bit better i promise you i'm gonna make this work okay okay thank you again for your help yeah no problem here's your bread balls you want to take those to your table yeah yeah sounds good

i will take the tray of bread balls which i assume i'm holding like this since i'm a gnome probably and i will wobble over to the table with them guys a little help i'll grab really quick before anything spills. Question is respira here tonight not yet it's still earlier in the evening okay i want to stick around long enough till she does come yeah so we'll probably call it there for tonight that way you guys have time to think about your book and do we actually have to write this book Yeah.

Like us, the players? Yeah. So how much detail? Do you just want a general plot line? We'll see. Do I need to draw pictures? We'll see what you come up with. Yeah, you don't want me to draw the pictures. How well you roll? Should I go get one of my notebooks upstairs so we can act this out? I guess depending on how badly you roll, depends on how much of an actual book I need. Oh, boy. Sounds like I'm going to be making a book. I'll pull down one of my notebooks for next week.

Selina, you can do a children's book for your next book. No, I don't.
