Introduction

In "Death From Above," Episode 7 of Sagas of Sundry: Goblin Mode, the Terror Squad—comprising Tippy, Fibs, and Busy—find themselves navigating the chaotic aftermath of releasing slug swash gunpowder barrels during a rager at Fiends United headquarters. Their actions inadvertently draw attention from Captain Ratelg, a formidable figure leading the Fiends United.

Plot Overview

The episode begins with the minions managing the fallout from their earlier escapades:

• 00:00 – 05:30: The Terror Squad reflects on their predicament in the basement, dealing with frustrated attendees dissatisfied with the lack of slug swash. Tippy attempts to cast a spell to mask the presence of slug swash by pouring water into a barrel, while the team contemplates their next move amidst distractions caused by failed barrels and the arrival of Vadul the dwarf wereboar.

• 05:30 – 15:00: As chaos ensues, Tippy persuades Fibs to escape with their bindle—a container containing their loot. They scramble to ascend a ladder dropped by an airship, dealing with physical mishaps and narrowly avoiding displacer beasts that have infiltrated the premises. Amid the ascent, tense interactions highlight Tippy's lack of confidence and Busy’s resourcefulness.

• 15:00 – 25:00: The team successfully boards the airship, Stag's Horn, greeted by Dupper and Chab, who discuss the escalating threats from the Fiends United. An air of urgency permeates as they realize the gravity of their situation and the need to form alliances to combat the resurging evil forces.

Character Actions and Interactions

Tippy the Goblin (Jason Nguyen)

Tippy, anxious and somewhat unconfident, leads the attempt to escape, demonstrating both bravery and vulnerability. Notably, he exclaims:

“So, you're playing Bingo Blitz. Now that's a bingo.”
[00:17]

Fibs the Wizard Skeleton (Dan Casey)

Fibs showcases his magical prowess and strategic thinking, using spells like Mage Hand to ignite barrels and attempting to manage the group's escape:

“I've got the bindle. And now you just gotta get on the ship and get out of here.”
[07:05]

Busy the Bard Skeleton (Danielle Radford)

Busy combines her bardic skills with practicality, managing tools and supporting her teammates:

“We don't drink.”
[05:19]

Captain Ratelg (Ify Nwadiwe)

Introducing a new antagonist, Captain Ratelg, a nine-foot-tall, muscular blue humanoid with a mechanical arm and fearsome presence, who leads the Fiends United. His entrance shifts the episode’s dynamics, creating tension as he confronts the Terror Squad:

“Captain, I'm trying to let someone.”
[62:07]

Key Discussions and Decisions

• Escape Strategy: The team's decision to escape via the airship ladder is fraught with physical challenges and moral dilemmas, such as Tippy's hesitation over the consequences of igniting the barrels.

• Alliance Formation: Upon boarding the airship, the Terror Squad meets Captain Ratelg and his crew. A critical discussion ensues about forming alliances to combat the Fiends United, balancing their desire for loot with the pressing need to address the greater threat.

• Discovery of Documents: Busy and Fibs uncover vital documents linking the Fiends United to the Scythe of Irelia and the resurrection of Fraxis, the Demon Lord. This revelation propels the group towards unraveling the deeper conspiracy:

“You can discern that the insignia is a scythe. Like something used to clear the fields. But you don't know. You don't know what faction that actually is.”
[47:46]

Climax and Resolution

The episode builds towards a confrontation at Valen's Heap, a massive junkyard where Fiends United store their stolen artifacts. As the Terror Squad and Captain Ratelg’s crew arrive, they trigger an encounter with a sentient metallic robot, signaling the onset of a larger conflict:

“Oh, that's what we like.”
[39:58]

The climax sees Captain Ratelg extending an offer to the Terror Squad—helping them secure the Chalice of Kirken in exchange for joining the Fiends United. The team grapples with trust and loyalty, culminating in heated exchanges and strategic planning to navigate their precarious position:

“If you help us with this matter that we have at the heap, you can be in the marked, we'll give you the real chalice.”
[55:03]

Notable Quotes

• Tippy on Responsibility:

  “We have a job. We have something to do.”
  [23:01]

• Busy’s Practicality:

  “We need help.”
  [39:43]

• Captain Ratelg’s Offer:

  “You help us with this matter that we have at the heap, you can be in the marked, we’ll give you the real chalice.”
  [55:03]

• Tippy on Guilt:

  “I just have something that makes you feel...”
  [21:09]

Conclusion and Next Steps

In the final moments of "Death From Above," the Terror Squad must decide whether to trust Captain Ratelg and join forces to combat the Fiends United or pursue their agenda independently. The episode ends on a cliffhanger with Ratelg's Ultimatum and the looming threat at Valen's Heap, setting the stage for intense developments in the next episode:

“And you see it vibrate as the junk kind of raises and then separates and leaves behind this seven-foot metallic humanoid robot figure with red eyes glowing as it stands to full height and stares down at her.”
[66:16]

Upcoming Episode Teaser:

“Join us next time for a true test of metal. Next time on Sagas of Sundry Goblin Mode.”

• Moral Ambiguity: The Terror Squad grapples with the ethical implications of their actions, particularly regarding collateral damage and their commitment to larger causes beyond personal gain.

[Amy Vorpal]

Hello everyone, and welcome back to Sagas of Goblin Mode. I'm Amy Vorpo. I'm your dungeon master. And let's say hello to our minions of mayhem, AKA the Terror Squad.

[Dan Casey]

Hi everyone. I'm Dan Casey. I'm playing Fibs, a wizard who's also a skeleton.

[Danielle Radford]

Hello, I'm Danielle Radford. I am playing bus. I am a bard. Little Skelly babe. Little skeleton. Skelgirls Skull.

[Tippy]

You'll find it, Skelgirls.

[Amy Vorpal]

Yeah, we'll find it.

[Danielle Radford]

We'll figure it out by the end of episode 20.

[Tippy]

Hi, I'm Jason Nguyen. I play Tippy the Goblin who's an artificer who also has a gun.

[Amy Vorpal]

Oh, and congratulations.

[Ify Wadiwe]

So hard.

[Tippy]

A lifelong dream achieved.

[Amy Vorpal]

Yep. And with that, I think it's time to go ahead and part the veil of reality. And you notice that we are no longer in a very well lit studio with looking just really aces. Everyone's looking really great today. But we're not actually. We don't look great today.

[Tippy]

No.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Okay.

[Amy Vorpal]

In fact, we do. We look terrible. We're Skeleton the Goblins in the midst of a rager at the Fiends United headquarters as a bindle of Eunzoug's bed sheets, which we never described, but correct me if I'm wrong, I think they're black with an anvil and three tendrils of smoke coming off of them patterned.

[Danielle Radford]

The only thing I remember asking was if they still smelled like Eunzuk. I did not ask anything else. It was literally just like, can I see It. Can I smell it? Like, what is. Like, are there stains?

[Amy Vorpal]

Cinnamon and gaslighting.

[Dan Casey]

It's pretty sick that he has his logo on his bed sheets. Yeah.

[Tippy]

That is awesome.

[Amy Vorpal]

And Palatius, your friend, or you're pretending to be his friend. At least he's no longer scrabbling to open it up because balloons have blossomed from the b and are causing an even bigger party moment. You all are on the first floor. I'm gonna say you're still within reach of the bendel. And just before I'm gonna let you decide what to do, you hear Vadul the dwarf Wereboar show up in dwarf form. And he goes, ah, who's ready for a talent show? And he transforms himself into a wereboar and then back into a dwarf and then back into a werboar. And Nordi the Drippy, the ectoplasm lemur y the drooling dredge, sold us out. These slug swash barrels are already topped, but it sounds like rocks. And something else is inside.

[Danielle Radford]

More slug swash.

[Amy Vorpal]

And you hear various cries of cheer for the talent show, but also dismay over the already tapped slug swash barrels. What would you like to do, everybody?

[Dan Casey]

So we are currently, if I'm recalling, we are all in the basement level.

[Amy Vorpal]

Yeah. Oh, that's crazy, because I cannonballed through the floor.

[Dan Casey]

Yeah, you cannonballed through the floor.

[Amy Vorpal]

You opened the safe and you shoved all the things in a bin.

[Danielle Radford]

Yeah, we've got it all in the bindle. We've got it hooked up, and then it went up, and then balloons. Cause that's how you know when a. That's when you know, you know that a kegger's now a rager.

[Dan Casey]

Of course.

[Danielle Radford]

And so we are in the basement, and we hear everyone now grousing because we did not bring a ragers full of slug swash.

[Amy Vorpal]

No, they were filled with, if you remember, gunpowder.

[Dan Casey]

There was a little protective wig, a smaller gunpowder barrel inside, right?

[Amy Vorpal]

Yes.

[Dan Casey]

Okay. Okay.

[Amy Vorpal]

But there was still some slugs wash. So you were able to, you know, get the party started. But yes, people had.

[Tippy]

Okay, I look around the room. Are there any, like, empty barrels or something that could look like. Okay.

[Amy Vorpal]

Oh, yeah.

[Tippy]

I'm gonna run over to a barrel hearing this. Right. And I'm going to empty my full rations of water, my water skin all into it. Definitely. I don't know if it's gonna be enough, but I wanna cast magical tinkering to give the odor of slog. Swash of water.

[Amy Vorpal]

Oh. Oh, okay. Okay. Yep. Yeah. You're just able to do that. You now have a barrel that seems like it has some slug swash in it. How big was your water skin? It's not enough to fill the entire.

[Tippy]

Thing, but pouring a water bottle into a giant barrel. Guys, help me out here.

[Amy Vorpal]

Does anybody have fibs?

[Tippy]

Do you have any water on you?

[Danielle Radford]

We don't drink.

[Dan Casey]

No, that's right.

[Danielle Radford]

Damn it.

[Dan Casey]

I have a small bag of sand. Does that help you?

[Tippy]

No, not at all. I go, oh, look, I found some slugs washed downstairs.

[Amy Vorpal]

Performance.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Okay.

[Tippy]

Performance. All right. Picking what I'm not good at. Oh, okay. 19 minus 2. That's 17.

[Amy Vorpal]

17. So you get some of the crowd storming down the stairs, actually. So, yeah, I'd say that at this point, the party at 9am Monster hours is going pretty hard. We've got about 50 people and about 15 of them try to run down and get this new slog swash source.

[Tippy]

As they're distracted, I go over to fibs and I'm like, come on, let's go, let's go, let's go.

[Amy Vorpal]

Yeah. You hear on your ascending stones, Pakara going that he's got the. He's got the bindle. And now you just gotta get on the ship and get out of here.

[Tippy]

I run upstairs. Was it motioning fibs to go?

[Dan Casey]

Was there? I thought there was doors behind the safe.

[Amy Vorpal]

Yes, yes.

[Dan Casey]

So that the displacer beast went out of.

[Amy Vorpal]

Yep. As you come down the stairs, the safe was kind of really nearby. And then. Yeah, behind you, the doors that open out from under the cellar open behind you.

[Dan Casey]

No, no, not the stairs. Go out this way. Follow me. Also, I just in case. As he turns to me, I drop. Because I was still looking like Kaya. Cause I had disguised self on.

[Amy Vorpal]

Oh, right.

[Tippy]

Oh, that's right. Would I have known. Okay, hold on. Would I have known that that's even fibs then? Cause I didn't ever see him disguise self.

[Amy Vorpal]

You do you know that?

[Tippy]

That's.

[Amy Vorpal]

Yeah, there's no fibs. Would come down and immediately. Give you a second. It's me.

[Tippy]

Oh, fibs. Sorry. You're so good at disguised self, I had no idea.

[Dan Casey]

So kind of you to say.

[Tippy]

All right, I'll follow you. And so I'm following Fibs.

[Amy Vorpal]

Yeah. You guys are running out kind of where the displacer beasts are and where the carriages are set up. You see that right now the bindle's still rising. Do you communicate with Picara? She's like, dumber. Just wants to know when you're gonna get up into the ship and when you're ready where he should pick you up, he's got the bindle.

[Danielle Radford]

So we don't have. They don't have anything else they can drop down from the ship for us to grab onto, do they?

[Amy Vorpal]

Do you ask Picara.

[Danielle Radford]

Hey, Picara. Hi, it's Fizzy. Hey, how's it going?

[Amy Vorpal]

Hi, Gabby.

[Danielle Radford]

Hey, girl. Do you have another rope or something you can drop down? And then maybe we've got a ladder.

[Amy Vorpal]

Yeah, we could drop right quick.

[Danielle Radford]

Yeah, yeah, I think then we just get up on the ladder and then we can also watch the bindle as it goes up.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay, perfect. So, yeah, there's gonna be a little bit of time because right now the bindle's traveling through the first floor, second floor, and the roof being cranked up. And then the ship is gonna move and get to where you guys are. She goes, oh, yep, I'll give that to Duppa. There should be no problem.

[Danielle Radford]

Okay. Do we want to blow this place up before we leave?

[Tippy]

Hundred thousand million percent.

[Danielle Radford]

Okay. Yeah.

[Dan Casey]

Otherwise why did we put that gun there anymore?

[Danielle Radford]

So I just heard that we should have said sideways.

[Tippy]

We should have said.

[Danielle Radford]

I just said that.

[Amy Vorpal]

So the thing is, you just not dropped the ladder just yet then.

[Tippy]

No.

[Dan Casey]

Drop the ladder.

[Tippy]

Sim.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay, so simultaneously, just every. Okay, I'll get.

[Tippy]

Drop the ladder.

[Amy Vorpal]

Drop the ladder.

[Tippy]

We've got a surprise for these subbers.

[Amy Vorpal]

I thought you were going to say surprise for me. Not a surprise for me anymore. I know exactly what's about to happen. She communicates that as far as you know to Duper. And you're fairly alone right now. The displacer beasts have kind of crawled into the carriages. Kaya's nowhere to be seen.

[Danielle Radford]

Okay, so how do we blow up these barrels? Do we want to do Burning Hands maybe?

[Dan Casey]

Because it seems like you were. I've got a firebolt that I can get.

[Tippy]

Oh, yeah, that's what we're going to do.

[Amy Vorpal]

That's going to look so cool.

[Tippy]

As fibs and tippy. Run outside. Where are we geographically? Like, are we near. Can we run back in to the first floor? Where did it spit us out?

[Amy Vorpal]

Yeah, good call. So the facade, the front of the manor is facing east. You guys are popped out the butthole in the west.

[Tippy]

Popped out the butthole.

[Amy Vorpal]

Popped out the butthole. There is a door further north on the side of the building, but on the side that you're on, that seems like.

[Tippy]

Yeah, the friend's entrance into the message stone. Talking to busy, busy. You gotta Clear the area. We're gonna blow this joint.

[Danielle Radford]

Oh, goodness. Okay. Clear the area of people.

[Tippy]

Oh, no, of you. I don't care about the people. Get out of here.

[Dan Casey]

I was wondering.

[Danielle Radford]

Cause I was like, I do not have time for that. It's every skeleton for her and himself. So busy just starts heading towards. Out, I guess, out the butthole. I guess busy follows at the butthole.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay, cool. You hear a voice on the standing stone goes, I've gotta say, I like the new confidence.

[Tippy]

Thanks. It seems in your voice.

[Amy Vorpal]

I can just tell over the voice. Not a big deal.

[Tippy]

Some could say I'm a new goblin with. That's.

[Amy Vorpal]

Well, don't change too much. Don't you change too much.

[Tippy]

I'm sorry. Damn it. Sidebar, real quick.

[Danielle Radford]

Sidebar.

[Tippy]

I feel like she was into me, and now she's like. I feel like I'm in some sort of zone.

[Danielle Radford]

No, it's gonna be okay. We're gonna get out of this zone. No zones. We are out of zones.

[Tippy]

Earlier, she gave me a wet willy. Like, that's not good.

[Danielle Radford]

Oh, that's not great.

[Dan Casey]

I can't really speak the moisture. I don't really feel it that much.

[Danielle Radford]

I wouldn't like it either way. I thought y'all liked moist stuff, but.

[Tippy]

Well, no, not in the ear. You know what I mean? We don't like that.

[Danielle Radford]

Yeah, I don't know. I don't have an ear.

[Tippy]

I'll try again with her, but let's blow this place up later on.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay. You see, the ladder does come down from the airship from up above. When you look up above, you see this pret. It's almost like a very, very small yacht version of an airship. Really well made, but also a little broken down and needs some tinkering, as most airships do. Still a nice, beautiful vessel. And it is powered, it looks like, by a ring around its center that just goes horizontally. This ring of energy, this ring of force, elemental force. The ladder that drops down, though, is a standard rope and wooden ladder, and it is able to get really close to the ground two or three feet above the ground as it hovers.

[Danielle Radford]

Busy. Just gonna jump up and grab a rung and start climbing up.

[Dan Casey]

How close to the mansion is this?

[Amy Vorpal]

Pretty close.

[Dan Casey]

Okay.

[Amy Vorpal]

Yeah. Very, like, wherever busy was. So maybe 10ft away from where the doors from the cellar opened up into the back.

[Dan Casey]

Were there torches on the wall?

[Amy Vorpal]

Oh, you know, it's the Fiends United headquarters, and most of them have come from dungeons. So, yeah, there's gonna be wall sconces with torches.

[Dan Casey]

Okay, cool.

[Amy Vorpal]

All right.

[Dan Casey]

Okay. So you're climbing the ladder?

[Tippy]

Yeah, I'm backing Fibs up. I'm like right behind Fibs.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay, awesome.

[Dan Casey]

All right. Fibs is going to rub his bony chin and he's like, I've got it. And he doesn't have a clear shot with a fire bolt. So what he's going to do instead is send his mage hand in. He's going to snap his fingers in a little spectral skeletal hand comes out and starts all the way going through the house. And I tell it to find the nearest torch and then ignite the nearest barrel.

[Tippy]

Right before you do that, I go, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

[Dan Casey]

What?

[Tippy]

Chab. Is Chab in here? We gotta get Chab out.

[Danielle Radford]

Oh, God.

[Tippy]

We've gotta let Chab wake up at the door. As fibs skeletal hand is grabbing the nearest torch and I'm going, chab, Hi, chb.

[Danielle Radford]

Where are you, Chab?

[Amy Vorpal]

And he goes, oh, oh, all right, got it. And he, like, runs up the stairs. And you haven't seen anything like this from CHB before. You're very impressed by the acrobatics. With which he launches himself and dangles and holds onto the bindle as it's crawling up. As he goes up, he gives you a thumbs up and goes, thanks, mate.

[Dan Casey]

Wow. If I could see this, I would be very impressed by his upper body strength. But I can't, so I won't.

[Danielle Radford]

Right.

[Tippy]

Chab didn't tell me he was into gym gymnastics. All right, Fibs, blow this sucker.

[Dan Casey]

All right. Sorry, Ferg. I don't know you, but you're still in there.

[Tippy]

Who's Ferg?

[Dan Casey]

I don't know. As I have my mage hand.

[Amy Vorpal]

Oh, he's the ogre. I know.

[Dan Casey]

As I have my mage hand light the proverbial fuse, I'm also going to be running in presumably slow motion towards the ladder.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay. And you're following him, Tiffy.

[Tippy]

How does the torch go down into the. Like.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay, perfect.

[Tippy]

Can you paint the picture?

[Amy Vorpal]

Yeah. So you've just yelled for Cheb. He's gotten his assistant. Fibs. Spectral hand is floating towards this sconce. No one's really taking note of it, of course. His spectral hand is in the fiend's unit. It picks up the torch from the sconce. Kind of. You can tell it's searching for the nearest barrel. It does see, like a kobold holding the barrel and just screaming bloody murder, I guess. Thinking that if it yells long enough, slug swash will appear and the spectral hand dips over that barrel. And just kind of like a comedian with a mic, drops it into the barrel. There's a pause as things burn away. A bit more of a pause. A little bit more. They're on the ladder. And that's when the sound of sucking air. Then that part of the house blows up. You hear two more booms as other. Where are you? What are you doing?

[Tippy]

I didn't think we'd get that.

[Dan Casey]

He's just staring like.

[Amy Vorpal]

The gunpowder barrels are wooden.

[Tippy]

So, like, slow motion. As fibs is running past me, Tippy gets a weird sense of, like, did he do the right thing?

[Amy Vorpal]

Oh.

[Tippy]

And so just momentarily freezes looking at the kobold, wondering, like, oh, that. Oh, he's gotta die. That guy's gonna get blown to bits. Am I bad? And then I shake it off, and I run. I run to the ladder.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay, perfect. Okay, so you all are on the ladder. No problem. Everyone, really quickly, just roll with advantage because the ladder's gonna be helping you. This is gonna be an acrobatics or an athletics.

[Tippy]

Okay, I'm gonna take acrobatics with advantage.

[Dan Casey]

With God for advantage.

[Tippy]

18.

[Dan Casey]

19.

[Tippy]

No.

[Amy Vorpal]

What? Really? Nine.

[Tippy]

No.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay. Does he know? Okay, you're gonna have a hard time hanging on. In fact, you were the first one on. So you fall down. You actually do fall a couple rungs. You're just not able to hang on for as long as they are. You fall down towards fibs, but you right now do not have purchase on the ladder.

[Dan Casey]

Oh, no.

[Danielle Radford]

Oh, so I'm not hanging on at all.

[Amy Vorpal]

Yeah, you lost your grip. Okay. But I'm just free falling at the moment.

[Danielle Radford]

As I'm free falling, Fizzy is going to take off one of her arms and hold it in the other arm and use it to, like, gain, like, more leverage to, like, hook one hand.

[Dan Casey]

Up onto the one of those little grabby sticks.

[Amy Vorpal]

Perfect. Perfect. Okay. And you're grabbing back onto the ladder.

[Danielle Radford]

Yeah. Okay.

[Amy Vorpal]

I want that to actually be an attack roll with your bones. So you do have proficiency. So add your proficiency and strength to that.

[Danielle Radford]

Okay, so proficiency. Oh, what? Okay, so that's two. Oh, you said with advantage. No, you didn't.

[Amy Vorpal]

I did not.

[Danielle Radford]

I dreamed that you did.

[Amy Vorpal]

I dreamed my tack roll.

[Danielle Radford]

Okay, so that's a two. And then to hit. So that's five. And then with my proficiency, that is seven.

[Amy Vorpal]

Seven.

[Danielle Radford]

That's a seven.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay, so that's what you see. Fibs. You see, as she's scrabbling, she rips her arm off. She uses it like a Claw extension. But she whiffs it as the ladder is moving back and forth.

[Dan Casey]

As it's being raised in a panic, I grab for one of my pouches and pull out a feather and, like, throw it to her and cast feather fall on busy to hopefully slow her descent so she can maybe grab the ladder in a easier way.

[Amy Vorpal]

This. This is what? Perfect. Absolutely perfect. So fibs is close enough to reach you, but he does not grab onto your arm. What he does instead is hands you a take this.

[Tippy]

Elevate strength.

[Amy Vorpal]

What? The fibs is holding on with all of his strength.

[Tippy]

Do I see any in this room?

[Amy Vorpal]

Yeah. Timmy, she's falling right by you.

[Tippy]

I'm gonna go sick. Feather.

[Amy Vorpal]

I'm just kidding.

[Tippy]

I'm just kidding. Kidding. I'm going to quickly just unfurl the rope that's attached to my pack because I have a rope on me. So I just pull the latch on the rope where it's usually coiled, and I let it go so that the full length of the rope is dangling out behind me.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay, awesome.

[Tippy]

Grab the rope.

[Amy Vorpal]

You are able to just throw the rope out and Danielle make one more athletics check.

[Danielle Radford]

What are we doing? What are we doing?

[Amy Vorpal]

Wait. With the help. Action. So it's with advantage.

[Danielle Radford]

It's with advantage. All right.

[Tippy]

Oh, God.

[Danielle Radford]

Okay, so that's good. And then that's bad. So 16.

[Amy Vorpal]

16 will do it.

[Danielle Radford]

Yeah. And then with my. Yeah, yeah. So we're good. We're good.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay. So you've got a fibs on the ladder, a tippy on the ladder, a feather in your hand, which I'm gonna say you went ahead and used it. Yeah. And we're able to slow enough to grab onto the rope that is dangling from tippy at the base of the ladder. Meanwhile, chab on the bindle is also being raised up. The entire house is blowing up, and you see one of the carriages from in the backyard of the house start moving off to the south. As far as you know, the last you checked, the only things in there were the displacer beasts. You don't see anything driving the carriages. You are now flying up to the sky. You're able to make it into the cabin of the ship. You see dupper at the helm flying this thing by himself. Chab does start wrangling some ropes and doing some grip and crew work for him. You have just landed safely on the cabin of the ship. It's a mix of wood and then different metals, mostly like bronze and copper. Lots of gears and ropes tying things together. It's A really nice looking ship. You are entering into the cabin of it and then you see steps that go up to the deck.

[Dan Casey]

Bibbs is just. He can't stop looking over the railing.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay.

[Dan Casey]

He's just like, oh my God. I was down there, now I'm up here. And you know what? He's just constantly having that feeling of like. Whenever you're speaking from personal experience, whenever I'm on a tall building, I'm like. He's just picturing himself falling and he's getting this intense sense of vertigo where he's like, I thought I wanted to be up here, but oh man, I can't stop thinking about jumping off of this thing. That'd be crazy.

[Amy Vorpal]

So you see Chad, you feel a hand on your shoulder as Chubb comes behind you and he goes, why don't you get away from that edge?

[Dan Casey]

You're right. Mul hopped up, was a kega, became a raja. And then. Explosive.

[Tippy]

Yeah, explosive. You think we like blew it all up or the whole thing?

[Amy Vorpal]

I mean, I've done some pirating in me days and. Yeah, that looks pretty well done.

[Tippy]

Yeah. You think anybody survived that or.

[Amy Vorpal]

Oh yeah. I mean, there are plenty of monsters with immunity to fire.

[Tippy]

I mean. All right, well, I guess definitely not a Kobold.

[Dan Casey]

Those guys explode at the drop of a hat.

[Tippy]

No. What?

[Dan Casey]

Yeah.

[Danielle Radford]

Yeah. Very explody. Some of the oozes, probably.

[Amy Vorpal]

Some of the oozes. Anything elemental perhaps, Tippy gets. But I would say Kobold really dead. Really dead.

[Tippy]

Burnt to a crispy flesh falling off its belt. Tippy starts vomiting just on the day.

[Amy Vorpal]

Get it all out. Get it all out.

[Danielle Radford]

How are you doing? How you doing?

[Tippy]

Tips just a little nauseous.

[Amy Vorpal]

Uh huh.

[Tippy]

Maybe filled with more puke or immense guilt, I'm not sure.

[Amy Vorpal]

Wait, wait, wait. And Chop comes up and goes. You're feeling guilt?

[Tippy]

No, did I say guilt? I meant to say I feel bad.

[Amy Vorpal]

Do you know the evil fiends you nar to deed? Yeah. Do you know they hired Gallantlings to clear out entire dungeons?

[Dan Casey]

They hired them?

[Tippy]

They hired them?

[Amy Vorpal]

Yeah.

[Tippy]

How do you know that?

[Amy Vorpal]

Because the Gallantlings came to steal from us.

[Tippy]

And you found out that they were hired by the Fiends United.

[Danielle Radford]

That's how they always knew what dungeons they could go take over.

[Tippy]

So it was good to blow them up.

[Amy Vorpal]

Yeah, it was the only way.

[Dan Casey]

Like a comeuppance.

[Danielle Radford]

They killed all our friends.

[Tippy]

Yeah, they killed Maxwell.

[Dan Casey]

They did steal our house.

[Tippy]

I just feel like blowing them all to bits with so much gunpowder. I mean, there was like Four barrels.

[Amy Vorpal]

It's still going.

[Dan Casey]

An irresponsible amount.

[Danielle Radford]

Yeah. I don't know why we had that much. We probably didn't even.

[Tippy]

I was caught up in the moment.

[Dan Casey]

Hello, Crater of sorrow. There's some competition in town. Whatever this mansion used to be.

[Danielle Radford]

Oh, Tiffy doesn't think that's funny. Tiffy, it's. Maybe next time instead of blowing up a house because we think it's cool, next time we can talk to everybody and be like, are you evil? Yes or no? Virg is down there. Virg would have got away, though. Virg's?

[Dan Casey]

Yeah.

[Tippy]

The auctioneer.

[Danielle Radford]

Yeah.

[Tippy]

You guys kind of have a thing, you know?

[Danielle Radford]

Well, no, we didn't. I mean, he was like super into it, but I was like, I want to keep it profesh.

[Tippy]

We have a job.

[Danielle Radford]

We have something to do.

[Dan Casey]

Actors.

[Danielle Radford]

So it was all an actor and his method. So he couldn't use being burned alive.

[Amy Vorpal]

Yeah. There's just no way to know, is there?

[Tippy]

So is there like gonna be like, I don't know, like a fire squad or like somebody putting that big old blaze out or.

[Amy Vorpal]

Well, let's take a look. And he looks overboard and actually what you see, I mean, you're still flying upwards, but you do see monsters and fiends coming from the heart of the city where the drooling dretch was and heading out towards the fiends united headquarters. Well, roll a perception check.

[Tippy]

Okay. I see nothing. I rolled a four.

[Amy Vorpal]

You know what?

[Dan Casey]

I think this falls under Nac Breca rules, if I'm not mistaken.

[Tippy]

Nak Breka rules.

[Danielle Radford]

Nac Breca rules.

[Amy Vorpal]

We're handling our business. So you can tell that ship is corkscrewing, spiraling upwards.

[Dan Casey]

Is this good?

[Amy Vorpal]

Yeah, it's the end. It's actually the fastest way we can get the height is instead of going straight up, which, you know, would put us at a weird angle. Yeah, we're just gonna do a corkscrew motion. We're doing great, everyone. As you get closer, you see that this is actually like a really masterpiece of architecture. Up above. It's like small Tudor style apartments stacked on top of each other. The shape of it as you look above is there are four larger areas, rectangular shaped on each of the corners of this rectangular shaped city. Three of the four corners are where the ship would fly into hangars. And then the fourth one just looks like a metal box from below. It just looks like it's not a hangar, but there's something there. It's a larger area piece. And then everything else is Connected with wooden planets that crisscross above the tiers and between the buildings.

[Dan Casey]

Remind me, where is this relative to Nac Brekka?

[Amy Vorpal]

Almost directly above it.

[Dan Casey]

Oh, interesting. So it's only accessible by airship?

[Amy Vorpal]

Only accessible by airship.

[Dan Casey]

Oh, cool. So it's like a sky fortress.

[Amy Vorpal]

It sure is.

[Dan Casey]

Is it just floating?

[Amy Vorpal]

Yeah, it's just floating.

[Dan Casey]

Oh, sick. All right. No further questions, you, Honor.

[Amy Vorpal]

As Dupper finishes his ascent, he brings you into one of the larger buildings, one of those hangar. And he does urge you to disembark. You see a couple of people greet him, and one of them is a male halfling. And Dupper himself is a male halfling and dressed in the exact same manner.

[Dan Casey]

This one I see in double.

[Amy Vorpal]

Yeah, not quite. This one has more facial hair, but you can see them embrace and kind of share some words, like, oh, you made it back. Another person who comes and greets you is a stately elf. She's decorated in metal scrap, studded leather, but more like bolts and screws and other mechanical items. She looks like the official kind of greeting committee. And alongside this stately elf, you also see someone with just loads of swagger. This additional figure who is. Yay.

[Dan Casey]

Let's go.

[Amy Vorpal]

It is my pleasure to welcome. Welcome to Sagas of Sundry Goblin mode, our friend, Ify Wadiwe. Yes. Hi, Ify.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Hey, how's it going?

[Amy Vorpal]

Going great. So will you tell these minions what type of figure they actually see?

[Ify Wadiwe]

Well, when you look over at me, you see this kind of large, muscular blue creature, kind of humanoid, slightly furry, has the kind of like blooming pants like a pirate does, the big boots, but they're kind of wide, so you can tell I probably have some monstrous feet. I've got nice kind of like silvery chest hair down, down the middle. And he kind of has, like, that pirate's shirt, but it's opened up. And one arm is completely mechanical. He has two large horns curling out of his forehead, and he has these like, long silvery locks kind of coming down the sides of his head, about shoulder length. A great kind of like five o'clock, shadowy, low beard, nice little mustache. And it just kind of like posted up, looking at everyone.

[Amy Vorpal]

The other thing to note about this creature is that he is about nine feet tall.

[Tippy]

Whoa.

[Amy Vorpal]

He's a big dude. He also wears a captain's hat. So he is the captain, and you can tell right away, but he's got more of a smile on his face. The other thing that strikes you as a little odd is, you know, from what you've heard of the markdist that they're all lycanthropes. They're humanoids that have turned into were folk. This is not a humanoid turned into a were folk. This is a monster in his own right.

[Tippy]

Tippy freezes in his track seeing this 9 foot tall looming figure and goes guys, I think that is the coolest.

[Tippy]

Monster I have ever seen.

[Danielle Radford]

His hair's like yours but like cooler.

[Dan Casey]

But it makes sense. Yeah Like, I thought I looked cool.

[Tippy]

When I was doing the lean. He's doing the lean and it looks way cooler and I don't look like that at all.

[Danielle Radford]

Oh, my God. Did he just lean further?

[Tippy]

He leaned further.

[Danielle Radford]

Okay, I got this. I can be cool, remember? I know how to be cool.

[Dan Casey]

Of course.

[Tippy]

I don't know what to. Busy, take the lead. Cause I'm very, very intimidated.

[Danielle Radford]

I practice this. I practice this. Is there a chair?

[Amy Vorpal]

Oh, there is now. Yeah, of course there's a chair.

[Danielle Radford]

Busy goes and grabs a chair. Sk plants it right in front of the captain so the seat back is in front of him. And then busy sits in the chair backwards.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay.

[Danielle Radford]

And stares up at him and says, hey, you, Captain, my name's Bizzy and we just came and brought all of the loot to your fine. I'm biffing it. Your fine airship.

[Dan Casey]

Airship air ship spot you've got here.

[Danielle Radford]

It's gorgeous.

[Dan Casey]

That's perfect.

[Tippy]

That's perfect.

[Ify Wadiwe]

I mean, well, we're just getting the loot together. I mean, let's look what's in it. Let's get inside.

[Amy Vorpal]

Captain, as you come down, the stately elf actually has a stern look. You are just going to let these people come into our city just after the yesterdusters fooled us. Chab, Dupper, do you have anything to say for yourselves? And Dupper pulls away from his embrace with his bearded fellow. And he and Chab come up and goes, right, right, Listen, Smelly and Captain, the thing is, they're good for it. They helped us immensely.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Okay, well, you know, they had me at the treasure, you know. Look, Smelly, you're focusing on the wrong things. They said they have loot for us.

[Amy Vorpal]

Yeah, that was the mission. So do they get another gold medal just for doing their job?

[Ify Wadiwe]

Well, yeah, I feel like people should be appreciated for the work. How much? How often do I tell you you're doing a good job?

[Amy Vorpal]

Like, almost never.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Oh, wow.

[Danielle Radford]

She's. She's like so high strung. And she always needs to be validated. It's like, I don't know. I could never hang out with anybody like that.

[Dan Casey]

A little positive reinforcement does go a long way. You're doing a great job at really re ruining the vibe right now.

[Danielle Radford]

Yeah, your narcing is fantastic. I've never seen anyone narc better than you.

[Amy Vorpal]

Oh, you don't know what we've been through. Aren't you missing at least one of the narcs who went on this mission in the first place?

[Tippy]

Are we missing somebody? Are we missing Somebody. There's Chab. There's Duh Dupper. That's it.

[Dan Casey]

You asking about Pekora? She was off site.

[Tippy]

Yeah, Pekora's like our eyes in the sky sort of situation.

[Amy Vorpal]

No, no. Pakora was meant to come back.

[Tippy]

What?

[Dan Casey]

Wait, isn't like a future encounter with her like a future episode of whatever our life is?

[Amy Vorpal]

Wait, Chab. Chab Dupper, you have to explain yourself. And Chab goes, I wasn't flying the ship. I thought the same thing as these other guys did. I'm sorry. And Duper goes, look, I'll take full accountability for it. The thing is, I couldn't go back to the campsite where Pekara was. She might have gotten out alive. But I saw who you all were talking to. I think she's the leader of the fiends. I think she was Kaya. And she was making her way over to that campsite when I was in the air, and I kind of flew over to see if I could help.

[Tippy]

What?

[Amy Vorpal]

And she blasted.

[Tippy]

Huh?

[Amy Vorpal]

She blasted at the airship. And we just don't have enough resources.

[Tippy]

But Kaya's on the way to Pekora.

[Dan Casey]

I thought she was already on the issue.

[Tippy]

Pekora. Pekora.

[Amy Vorpal]

And you hear. Uh, I was wondering when you might call in.

[Tippy]

Pekora. Your voice, your voice sounds really different.

[Amy Vorpal]

Well, it's not Pekora, is it?

[Tippy]

Okay, who is it? Because it's only supposed to be Pekora. And like me and my friend, busy.

[Amy Vorpal]

It's me. And I suppose who's me?

[Tippy]

Is your name me?

[Amy Vorpal]

No, I'm Kya.

[Tippy]

Oh my God. Kaya.

[Amy Vorpal]

Kaya. And I suppose that those on the other end of have rescinded my invitation to come with me on my caravan. Which is fine, but there will be consequences to denying invitations.

[Tippy]

What do you mean? My name's Rippy and I'm still into it.

[Amy Vorpal]

You're not one of those.

[Tippy]

What?

[Amy Vorpal]

Who I spoke to. I didn't invite you anywhere. It was the two skeletons.

[Tippy]

Exactly. I'm a new person. Outside, I found this stone.

[Amy Vorpal]

Oh God. Well, I've got your little humanoid complaining menace of a man. And I've got your little goblin were marmot.

[Tippy]

Hey. If you hurt Pekora, I will unload the chamber right into your stupid face.

[Amy Vorpal]

And you hear her goes. He says he's going to unload a chamber. And you hear Picara goes. Like I said, I knew I had people coming for me. If you know, she trusts you.

[Tippy]

You heard her. Me and my two skeleton friends. And we just met. Like a nine foot tall.

[Amy Vorpal]

Losing signal. Oh, oh, sorry, sorry. I'm losing signal. Damn.

[Danielle Radford]

What's that noise?

[Ify Wadiwe]

I don't know.

[Dan Casey]

I can't hear. I don't have one of these stones. I can't hear.

[Tippy]

Tippy enraged, just throws the stone.

[Danielle Radford]

No, I still have mine, I guess.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Okay.

[Tippy]

Sorry.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Yeah, it seems like there was mistakes.

[Tippy]

That were made, Mr. Big Guy. What's your name?

[Ify Wadiwe]

Ratelg.

[Tippy]

Ratelg.

[Ify Wadiwe]

And you're Rippy.

[Tippy]

I know I'm Tippy. I told a lie. I'm not a liar though, okay?

[Dan Casey]

And coincidentally, my name is Fibs. But after the bone, not the lie.

[Tippy]

And that's busy.

[Amy Vorpal]

Hi. Ruh.

[Ify Wadiwe]

We room busies introduce themselves.

[Tippy]

We're the Terror Squad.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Okay.

[Dan Casey]

Yes.

[Danielle Radford]

Yeah, we're the Terror Squad.

[Tippy]

We came from Unzook's lair.

[Amy Vorpal]

Oh. Oh, that is very impressive, Captain.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Yeah, yeah. Cause you made a sound that makes it seem like I should know. Let's. Let's talk. Let's have a little.

[Dan Casey]

A sidebar. A sidebar.

[Ify Wadiwe]

No.

[Tippy]

You wanna have a sidebar with us? We do this thing called a sidebar.

[Ify Wadiwe]

And no. We're gonna have a corner conversation.

[Tippy]

Corner combo. That's a new one. That's a new. I've never even thought of that.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Why should I know this?

[Amy Vorpal]

You've been celebrating too much, Lincoln.

[Tippy]

Come on. Am I in the corner too?

[Ify Wadiwe]

You can't celebrate too much.

[Amy Vorpal]

It's celebrating.

[Tippy]

Am I in between the corner? Cause if this is not a part of the corner, I should get out of the corner. Cause I feel like.

[Danielle Radford]

Stay in the corner. We need a man in the corner.

[Tippy]

I'm in the corner, guys. I'm in the corner.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay. You know, in the desolation, there are so many layers of evil overlords.

[Tippy]

So many layers of evil overlords.

[Amy Vorpal]

Eunzoo is one of them. Are you the top guy?

[Tippy]

Are you the top guy?

[Amy Vorpal]

But his lair was.

[Tippy]

He's the top guy.

[Amy Vorpal]

Decimated. Decimated by the fiends by the Yesterday.

[Tippy]

Yesterday and other Gallantlings Union.

[Amy Vorpal]

Higher.

[Tippy]

I'm in the corner.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Okay. So these guys killed a person they were working for?

[Tippy]

Yeah. Wait, now I'm confused. Cause I don't. All right, keep going.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay. The Yester Dusters. The Yesterday robbed from us.

[Tippy]

Robbed from us.

[Amy Vorpal]

About a couple of weeks ago.

[Dan Casey]

A couple weeks ago.

[Ify Wadiwe]

They robbed from us?

[Tippy]

Yeah, they robbed from us.

[Amy Vorpal]

They tricked us.

[Tippy]

They tricked us.

[Ify Wadiwe]

I should probably eat that one.

[Tippy]

That looks like a corner. Sidebars are so much better, guys.

[Amy Vorpal]

Yeah. Do you want to eat? Are you hungry, sir?

[Tippy]

Are you hungry? Sir?

[Ify Wadiwe]

Yeah? I am hungry, actually.

[Tippy]

Yeah. Why are you looking at me like I'm.

[Ify Wadiwe]

You know. It's just there's rumors that, you know, oni like to eat babies, which is crazy. What?

[Tippy]

I'm not a baby. I'm a goblin. I'm an adult.

[Ify Wadiwe]

You look like a baby.

[Tippy]

It's because I'm still coming into my own. Like, my facial hair isn't grown in yet. Maybe I'm just, you know, like all.

[Ify Wadiwe]

This stuff that makes. It makes people taste weird.

[Tippy]

Taste weird?

[Ify Wadiwe]

Before you have facial hair, you taste the best.

[Tippy]

No, no, I don't taste good at all. In fact, I taste like farts and slime.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Farts and slime?

[Tippy]

Yeah, farts, slime, and poison. I was poisoned once. Oh. And so maybe that's still in me. Pretty. Maybe I'm part poisoned.

[Amy Vorpal]

Captain, if this is something that you would like, I can arrange for this to happen.

[Tippy]

Corner conversation. I'm calling another corner.

[Dan Casey]

Okay, this is actually more of a size.

[Tippy]

Okay. I think these guys want to say, eat me.

[Dan Casey]

I have a question. Are you a baby? And you didn't tell us? It's okay if you are.

[Tippy]

I'm a baby.

[Danielle Radford]

We're still friends with you. Like I'll be friends with a baby.

[Tippy]

I'm grown. I'm grown. I know a lot about life. I just haven't inhibited or done some of the stuff that other goblins have done or get to do because they had all their support. They had a clan, they had a family. They had all sorts of things. And I had Eunzook. So maybe I'm a little sheltered, maybe, like, held back. But, like, I'm a man goblin.

[Dan Casey]

I believe you.

[Danielle Radford]

You're a man goblin and will not.

[Dan Casey]

Let you get gobbled.

[Danielle Radford]

Yeah, please don't let me get gobbled, Mr. Buff Guy. I'm sorry. You can't gobble our grown ass man goblin friend.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Oh, okay. Well, if it's a man, I don't want to eat him.

[Danielle Radford]

Grown ass man.

[Tippy]

If you have a thirst for baby flesh, we can broker some sort of deal.

[Ify Wadiwe]

No, no, no, no. I don't need a deal.

[Tippy]

We could get baby flesh for him, no problem.

[Ify Wadiwe]

You can get any baby I want.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay, I'm getting into.

[Tippy]

No, I get.

[Amy Vorpal]

I just need it to be clear that you're not making new deals. Is that you're not making new deals without me.

[Ify Wadiwe]

No, no, I'm not making any new deals. You're doing great.

[Dan Casey]

I think. I think she's really taking that to heart.

[Tippy]

Baby flesh or not, we need help.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Well, let's look at this treasure first. You came up, you talked about this loser. I gotta see what's in it.

[Tippy]

We do have to warn you, it's not in Dungeon Dollars. It's in gold.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Yeah, that's perfect.

[Amy Vorpal]

That's ideal. That is ideal.

[Ify Wadiwe]

That's kind of what we like.

[Tippy]

Oh, really?

[Ify Wadiwe]

Yeah. The bad thing would be if it.

[Amy Vorpal]

Was Dungeon Dollars and just duper goes Roy. Well, it would be remiss if we did the honors ourselves, but I think it's worth saying these three were impeccable to our mission. And I'd like them to do the honors of opening the bedsheet.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Of course, Deborah, of course. I need you to just answer one thing for me, right. And I do not lie. I need the truth from you. Is this guy a baby?

[Tippy]

Tell him the truth.

[Amy Vorpal]

The Sundari honest truth is I have no idea.

[Dan Casey]

All right.

[Tippy]

Not a baby.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Still on the table. All right. Well, yes, I think you're right. The way we like to do things, the pirate's way.

[Tippy]

Tippy's like, you get the loot, baby.

[Ify Wadiwe]

You open it up.

[Amy Vorpal]

Let's go, let's go.

[Dan Casey]

All right, on the count of three, we each take one corner of the sheet and pull.

[Tippy]

All right? One, two, three.

[Amy Vorpal]

And it really is a pile that's about two and a half feet tall.

[Tippy]

Wow.

[Amy Vorpal]

And it is baby sized. Most of it is golden treasure to your eye, Captain Rittelg. You would know. It's about 30,000 gold pieces mixed in with some other stuff. I mean, this is loot from a bunch of different dungeons. The other thing that you see, what you know, is the decoy or fake Chalice of Kirken. You know that you at Wretched Cove own the real Chalice of Kirken. You also see the staff of Rol Baer. And this looks like a python headed staff. And then there are just loads of documents. Looks like letters and deals and documents with signatures and insignias all over them.

[Ify Wadiwe]

So then I would then look at Smelly. I was like, well, you like reading and documents Smelly? I want you to go through that and see if there's any information we can get, trade routes that we can interrupt. You know, things we do best not to be rude.

[Tippy]

Can you not read?

[Ify Wadiwe]

No, I don't like to read.

[Tippy]

You don't like to or you read?

[Ify Wadiwe]

I've learned.

[Tippy]

Because you know who else can't read? Babies.

[Amy Vorpal]

Oh, yeah, sure. You need to watch your mouth when you're talking about the literal captain of the Marked.

[Danielle Radford]

Oh, my God, he's just A dude. Like, he's nice.

[Tippy]

So like, do you turn into something? A baby.

[Dan Casey]

A were baby. A were baby by a baby on a dark moony night.

[Tippy]

Oh, it's so sad because then he's like hungry for himself, but he can't.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay, you're telling a joke. But he actually could turn into a baby.

[Dan Casey]

Really? What?

[Ify Wadiwe]

Yeah, in just that second, he just turns into baby son.

[Tippy]

Oh my God.

[Danielle Radford]

Oh my God.

[Dan Casey]

Excuse me.

[Tippy]

What is going on?

[Amy Vorpal]

A little human baby. And smelly. Smelly picks up and like holds them.

[Tippy]

Okay. Hypocrite much? Cause that's a baby.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Well, now I guess you can see the differences and similarities.

[Tippy]

Why did his accent change?

[Amy Vorpal]

You look very cool, baby.

[Danielle Radford]

It's hard to.

[Ify Wadiwe]

This is what babies talk like.

[Tippy]

Okay, I'm sorry I doubted you. Cause I guess you are a baby.

[Ify Wadiwe]

You look more like this than me.

[Tippy]

I mean, is he stuck as a baby or.

[Ify Wadiwe]

No. And at that moment he turns back nine feet, but he looks like a nine foot goblin.

[Tippy]

What?

[Ify Wadiwe]

So this is how a perceived goblin. You don't look like this goblins. You look like the baby version of me right now.

[Tippy]

I think you've never met a goblin. Cause goblins look like this guy.

[Dan Casey]

I don't know. Seeing this, I feel like this should be his size.

[Tippy]

How are you doing this?

[Ify Wadiwe]

Oh, I'm a shape shifter. And at that point he turns into an oni skeleton. But his bones are blue. Same horns.

[Amy Vorpal]

Whoa, whoa.

[Ify Wadiwe]

They're blue.

[Tippy]

That's sick. Wait, can you guys change color?

[Dan Casey]

No, not unless I paint myself a spill.

[Tippy]

Busy.

[Danielle Radford]

Just like.

[Tippy]

Busy, busy, busy. You're going to break something. Busy, busy.

[Amy Vorpal]

So smelly goes. That's right. That's right. Our captain is very impressive. He is already a monster. Whereas most of us are humanoids who can shift into the beast form when we were bitten. But he already is monster.

[Dan Casey]

Smelly, what's biting you?

[Tippy]

Yeah, what bit you?

[Amy Vorpal]

Look, there's just a lot on my plate. Oh, you mean what literally?

[Tippy]

I mean however you interpret this.

[Dan Casey]

Whatever you want is what I was asking you.

[Tippy]

Trauma dump if you want.

[Amy Vorpal]

I thought you meant.

[Danielle Radford]

What?

[Tippy]

That's cool.

[Amy Vorpal]

I thought you meant why you think I have something up my butthole? I turn into a bear. I'm a werebear.

[Tippy]

Oh, okay.

[Dan Casey]

That's pretty cool.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Yeah, this is very.

[Amy Vorpal]

And here. That is completely polite to talk about. You can just ask people.

[Danielle Radford]

You seem very competent. Okay, Would you mind as one competent to another competent, if I just take those files busy. Like pulls out her clipboard because I can keep them here. So that we keep them organized.

[Amy Vorpal]

To your point, yes. I was just ordered to go through all of these papers, and with your help, I think we could do that together a lot.

[Danielle Radford]

Okay.

[Amy Vorpal]

The captain wants the loot right now.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Yes, yes, that is right, smelly. But you want to check in? Does my first mate need a first mate? It does seem like, you know, it's like a bosun.

[Tippy]

Yeah, you seem like.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Yeah, you know, we're trying to live a pirate's life. That's why, you know, it's all fine.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay. I think I know what you want me to do, and that's to relax. That's not going to happen.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Okay.

[Amy Vorpal]

But I think later on we could talk a little bit more about the hierarchy. I mean, just having a person skeleton with a clipboard already. I don't know. There's something about that that makes me. What is this emotion?

[Tippy]

How do you miss a clipboard the day that.

[Danielle Radford]

Okay, so then Bizzy starts looking through. So busy just looking at.

[Amy Vorpal]

Yeah, there's just documents. Most of them are stuck together, but there's a bit of information.

[Danielle Radford]

Busy reaches over for Tippi to lick her hand. Lick her book so she can, like, get through all the stuck together pages. Use dust occur.

[Tippy]

Timmy just instinctively does.

[Dan Casey]

Oh, is that who. Who was reading these documents last?

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay, we have to talk. I do think an assistant with a clipboard, but then it looks like I also need an assistant with a tongue for the assistant with a clipboard.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Well, you have a tongue.

[Amy Vorpal]

No, but the little assistant licks you want to.

[Ify Wadiwe]

I can lick your finger whenever you want, Captain. It's the least I can do. It's the least I can do.

[Tippy]

Captain, do pirates have an HR department? I don't know. Hr that's allowed.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Everything is a boat here, baby.

[Amy Vorpal]

I just. I just. It needs to be presence that we're learning something here about hierarchy and.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Yes. So you want someone to hold a.

[Amy Vorpal]

Clipboard, and then you'll lick my finger.

[Ify Wadiwe]

I'll lick your finger.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay.

[Tippy]

All right.

[Amy Vorpal]

Well, anyway, that really, really good display right there. So as you go through all of this, one of the things you find is a document. Many documents from a source giving orders to the Fiends United. Now, a lot of these are things you already know. Hire gallantlings to clear out the dungeons of Ordenel, Unzug, the Exo Hag and Ion. And then there are other, smaller tasks to do. There's mention of finding the five articles of the Sundari Champion. There's also, like, this tone of what's going Wrong. What happened with the chalice? Why don't you have that yet? That kind of thing. With each of those letters, there is a kind of letterhead with an insignia that you haven't. You may or may not have seen it before. Fibs. You may or may not have seen it before. Actually, Busy, too. Go ahead and roll.

[Dan Casey]

Lean over Busy's shoulder.

[Amy Vorpal]

Yeah. Roll a history check.

[Danielle Radford]

I gotta get new dice. It just has to happen. That's a four.

[Tippy]

No.

[Dan Casey]

And that's a seven.

[Amy Vorpal]

A seven?

[Dan Casey]

That's pretty cool shape. Anyway.

[Amy Vorpal]

Yeah. You can discern that the insignia is a scythe. Like something used to clear the fields. But you don't know. You don't know what faction that actually is. If you bring it to Smellie's attention. She does know. She just glances over at Captain and goes. The Fiends United seems to be an umbrella company underneath the Scythe of Irelia.

[Tippy]

They make umbrellas.

[Ify Wadiwe]

The Scythe of Aurelia. He kind of reaches to his sack, pops open a bottle and starts drinking.

[Amy Vorpal]

That's an appropriate response.

[Danielle Radford]

So I just want to make a note here. Help me help you If I'm out of the loop, I cannot properly help you as your assistant in this moment. So I need to know what that is.

[Amy Vorpal]

The Scythe of Irelia was responsible for raising Fraxis, the Demon Lord who fought the battle at the Searing. And both he and all of the Sundari were destroyed. We thought they were all gone. They're resurfacing. And the Fiends United is their cover Scythe Barilly was pissed to find only the circlet in Unzug's lair. They thought there might have been another magic item. And in fact, it was the only magic item in any of the four dungeons. They thought that there were more artifacts in those dungeons. The most recent orders are to abandon Nac Breca and meet up with the Scythe of Irelia in the Earned Cur Fathom. The last thing that you find. It's almost like a receipt. It seems to be extremely special. Like this is in its own folder. Without too much discerning, you can tell that it's a receipt to be turned from a skeleton into a human woman. It's a restoration type of receipt, and it's for 5,000 gold pieces.

[Danielle Radford]

Does it have any, like, store information on it? Like skeleton repair? Like store number 579?

[Amy Vorpal]

Or like. Oh, God, no store information. But it does have a name. I mean, it's definitely a caster. You wouldn't know what, but.

[Danielle Radford]

And we don't know who the skeleton would have been. That was that on there.

[Dan Casey]

It's Kaya. She said it's been a while. She said she made some comment about how seeing us reminded her of something in her past.

[Tippy]

Oh, my God.

[Dan Casey]

She's undead. She's a skeleton now, masquerading as some sort of human spellcaster.

[Danielle Radford]

Well, that's not fair. She doesn't just get to pass because she has 5,000 gold.

[Dan Casey]

I don't even know how many dungeon dollars that would be.

[Tippy]

She was a skeleton before.

[Dan Casey]

Yes.

[Tippy]

And we're sure she's not a shapeshifter like him?

[Amy Vorpal]

Wait, I have a question. This could be Kaya, as you say, but there's no record of that. What makes you think that this transformation happened specifically to the leader of the Fiends United?

[Dan Casey]

Well, I'm no detective, but context clues. This was found in the same in the basement of the Fiends United main base of operations in Nakbreka. They kept in there something that appears to be one of the articles of the Sundari. They have all of their working capital. They have all of these important documents and privileged communications, including with what sounds like some kind of death cult that raised a demon lord.

[Amy Vorpal]

Yes, yes.

[Dan Casey]

If you had maybe a receipt. I don't know why you would keep this. For your most top secret of transformations facilitated by a spellcaster most foul. It stands to reason that perhaps this would be the person who intimated to us that she used to be of a bonier nature.

[Danielle Radford]

It might be a write off or maybe just in case she needs a return.

[Dan Casey]

Of course.

[Amy Vorpal]

But 5,000 gold pieces, that is no small fee.

[Dan Casey]

Is that a lot?

[Amy Vorpal]

It is a lot.

[Tippy]

We have like triple that.

[Danielle Radford]

Viz is just kind of staring at that symbol again. I want to look at the symbol.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay.

[Danielle Radford]

And just see if like, there's anything even like touching it, tracing it. Is there any kind of magic she can feel coming off of it?

[Amy Vorpal]

I would say yeah. Do investigation. Investigation. This episode is brought to you by United Airlines. When you want to make the most of your vacation, book with United.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay, so you do you find something that was written on another sheet of paper, but you can tell that with the imprints that this is a language in Abyssal. And you read the first line. That seems like an order. Combine the five to restore fraxis. The second line is a note. It just says the ritual room in Fitfettel Delve. The third seems like stream of consciousness. It says why six but only five? Question mark. And the other thing that you do see in Abyssal is within the scythe insignia, you see the name written out. And the name is Lux ear L U X apostrophe I R. You didn't see it at first because it was expertly disguised within that sigil.

[Danielle Radford]

Hmm. Okay, so weird death cult. And Bizzy's like trying to think because busy, like just had that big like flashback like where she was starting to remember some of her own stuff. And so Bizzy is just like looking at that and goes like, okay, so we know exactly what the plan is now that they were trying to do. I need to go talk to Kaya, save Pekora, save Pekora.

[Dan Casey]

Yes.

[Danielle Radford]

And then while we're doing that, murder Kaya, maybe murder Kaya, maybe murder Kaya.

[Amy Vorpal]

And Duper goes, you just met Pekara and you were already talking about rescuing one of ours. Captain, they're talking about rescuing one of ours. We haven't even given them payment yet.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Seems like y'all have great intentions and what's best is you don't care about this money. So I think we have to work together. I think it's in our best interest to, you know, make sure everyone.

[Amy Vorpal]

Captain, I just have a suggestion. Okay, there's that matter at Valen's heap. But should that get solved and we have enough resources, we could offer them station within the marks.

[Ify Wadiwe]

I'll even do you one better. You help us with this matter that we have at the heap, you can be in the marked, we'll give you the real chalice. We'll give you an airship and give you a form of lycanthropy. Have anyone that can bite you in and give you any form that you'd like.

[Tippy]

Oh, no, thank you. No biting.

[Danielle Radford]

All I heard was airship.

[Tippy]

I like airship.

[Danielle Radford]

Airship, Airship. Airship. Airship.

[Amy Vorpal]

Airship. Okay, okay, yes, yes, yes. I think all of that really? You want to just pass off the chalice, right? To Them.

[Ify Wadiwe]

What are we going to use it for? It seems like based on everything that you just said, that the scythe is going to be looking for it. So why would we put where we live at risk by holding it?

[Dan Casey]

And if we join the mark, then it's really just like our chalice.

[Tippy]

Right?

[Danielle Radford]

Yeah, our chalice.

[Dan Casey]

You know, it's in the middle of the word our. You.

[Amy Vorpal]

I have to say, I think that plan is actually one of the best strategies you've ever come up with, Captain.

[Ify Wadiwe]

I think drinking's helping me, so I'm going to keep doing it.

[Dan Casey]

Yeah, if you play in it drunk.

[Danielle Radford]

You gotta go through with it.

[Dan Casey]

I don't know, I heard someone say that once, but I never.

[Ify Wadiwe]

It's all good. I'm not there yet. I'm on the road, so.

[Dan Casey]

Oh, he's so cool.

[Danielle Radford]

He's so cool.

[Dan Casey]

Wait, I have an important question before we go any further. What is the name of this vessel?

[Ify Wadiwe]

Stag's Horn.

[Tippy]

Stag's Horn.

[Dan Casey]

So cool.

[Amy Vorpal]

Stag's Horn.

[Tippy]

So cool. Oh, if we get a ship, can we name it?

[Amy Vorpal]

Well, she already has a name that. We would give them Mischief. We would give them mischief.

[Tippy]

Do you think we should call it Shippy?

[Danielle Radford]

Shippy. Shippy.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay. If you rename a ship, there does have to be a cleansing ritual. She has to. Yes. Yeah, but, yeah, sure, whatever.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Yeah. If they do the cleansing ritual now.

[Amy Vorpal]

They would need one of us to fly it for our lycanthropic bond with it, but that's fine. Our volunteer. And Chab goes. I'll do too. That's fine. And we'll get a crew together. If we're all rescuing Pekara, we're all going to the same location.

[Danielle Radford]

Yeah. And question for you, Cap, since you're so cool, you probably already have this covered. Do you have a gun?

[Tippy]

Oh, I have a gun. Look.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Oh, wow.

[Tippy]

And I flash my piece.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Like, I don't need a gun, but I can get one. Do you need a gun or are you asking?

[Danielle Radford]

I don't need guns because I'm afraid that I would blow an arm off or something. It's just that we've noticed that everyone who carries a gun automatically gets a lot cooler and better at everything.

[Dan Casey]

More confident.

[Danielle Radford]

Yeah. Stronger, faster.

[Ify Wadiwe]

All I have is this. And he just kind of pulls out a glaive and he kind of does like a spin thing behind the back, throws it up and then slashes it forward and then puts it right back on his back.

[Dan Casey]

Fibs torso slowly slides off his hip bones and he's like, oh, my God. On the floor. That was so cool. Climbs back up and just screws himself back on.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Sort about that.

[Dan Casey]

No apology.

[Ify Wadiwe]

I just get in the mode, and I think a little bit of the drink is getting to me.

[Tippy]

I love it. Chad. Look what I can do.

[Dan Casey]

This is a pressurized cat.

[Amy Vorpal]

Oh, he's celebrating. He's doing the celebration.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Yes, yes.

[Amy Vorpal]

And other pirates. Oh, is he tom for that then? And they start shooting and they're like, happy loot.

[Danielle Radford]

Happy.

[Amy Vorpal]

Congratulations.

[Tippy]

Wow.

[Amy Vorpal]

Stacked home. Congratulations.

[Danielle Radford]

Everyone is so confident.

[Tippy]

Here, Bizzy, try it. I toss Bizzy the gun.

[Danielle Radford]

Bizzy catches the gun. How hard could this be? Bizzy aims the gun up at the sky and shoots it, but it's so heavy that her whole hand just falls off.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay, joining.

[Tippy]

Holding the gun. I'll take that back.

[Dan Casey]

The hand is still.

[Danielle Radford]

Yeah, hand is still attached.

[Amy Vorpal]

You actually do see Smellie, even she doesn't throw anything, but she raises her hand and says, congratulations. Stag's horn. On a successful. On a successful quest. Yes. Yes.

[Tippy]

Stag's horn.

[Amy Vorpal]

Stag's horn.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Staghorn.

[Amy Vorpal]

And in the midst of these, like, weird festivities, you actually do notice someone who looks a lot like Pakara. A little goblin, Little green goblin. Looks like she's still got her goggles on from being a mechanic. And she goes, oh, Roy, we're celebrating. Stag's horn. Pekora. All right, Pekora.

[Tippy]

Oh, who is she?

[Amy Vorpal]

Oh, I'm Pixie. My sister was just on. I guess it was the journey with you guys.

[Danielle Radford]

Yeah. I didn't know Cora had a sister. And Pekora is somewhere being really safe.

[Dan Casey]

And having a great time deep undercover.

[Danielle Radford]

So we're gonna go and grab Bakora, and we'll be right back.

[Amy Vorpal]

Bakora's not here. Chab Dupper. What the actual hell?

[Tippy]

Tippy gets really nervous and really uncomfortable and tries to hide behind the captain's.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Leg, and he just grabs. He's like, yeah. Why don't you go tell her where her sister is? This would be a good time. You know, you're about to help us out, and then we're gonna help you get her back when you lost her.

[Tippy]

Hey. Hey, Pixie.

[Amy Vorpal]

Were you a little goblin?

[Ify Wadiwe]

Yeah. This is Tippy. You know, he went and he met your sister.

[Tippy]

I did.

[Amy Vorpal]

And.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Yeah. What happened?

[Tippy]

And can I just say, not to make it weird, but, like, you guys look really similar, and she's just maybe one of the most beautiful goblins I've ever seen, so.

[Amy Vorpal]

Oh, you think my sister's Beautiful. Do you?

[Tippy]

Yeah. I think Pekora is the most beautiful goblin I've ever seen.

[Amy Vorpal]

Maybe it would serve you to learn a name, right? Pekara.

[Tippy]

Pakara. Yeah, it's Pekora. It's gotta be Pakora.

[Dan Casey]

I definitely heard pakora.

[Tippy]

I heard pakora.

[Danielle Radford]

Sorry, I think you're saying your sister's name wrong.

[Amy Vorpal]

Oh, my gosh.

[Tippy]

Yeah, you're saying it wrong. We're saying it right.

[Danielle Radford]

Yeah, it's pakora.

[Dan Casey]

Quick sidebar, quick sidebar. It's definitely peculiar.

[Tippy]

It's Pacora.

[Danielle Radford]

100% Pekora.

[Tippy]

Yeah.

[Amy Vorpal]

So you're just gonna call her Pekora?

[Tippy]

Yeah.

[Amy Vorpal]

Okay. That's just a pet name. I suppose. Anyway, as long as you know that you're wrong.

[Tippy]

Don't tell her.

[Amy Vorpal]

She not even here. So you met her and then you abandoned her Immediately.

[Tippy]

I did it better. I thought you guys had a plan to get her, because otherwise I. I would have demanded or requested that she come with us.

[Dan Casey]

She was kind of like in the overwatch position.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Like remote position. Huh?

[Dan Casey]

You know, definitely something. I read about a tactical manual once.

[Amy Vorpal]

No, no. She and I, when we go off on missions, that's our job. That doesn't mean we get to be left behind. Yeah, yeah.

[Ify Wadiwe]

It's right.

[Danielle Radford]

That's what we say.

[Amy Vorpal]

Look, I know there are emotions here, and I don't like those, and so we don't.

[Ify Wadiwe]

She's no emotions. Every time we talk about emotions, you get real stiff.

[Amy Vorpal]

Yes, it's a good.

[Ify Wadiwe]

This guy is obviously in love. And then he's confused because he's meeting the love of his life. Sister. And he's like, whoa, she's not.

[Tippy]

I'm not in love. Hey, I'm not in love. I don't know what love is.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Okay.

[Tippy]

Okay. And if I was in love, I would know.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Okay, so you're just gonna go help a stranger that you just said was the most beautiful person you've ever seen?

[Amy Vorpal]

Yeah.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Save for their twin sister for no reason. What are you doing it for? Cause you're a good baby that just does stuff for no reason but being delicious and good.

[Tippy]

I just feel like it's the right thing to do. Yeah, it is.

[Ify Wadiwe]

It is. That's a good thing.

[Tippy]

I just. That's all. You know, it's not for love. It's actually odd to. I don't know, be better.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Okay, well, that's fine.

[Tippy]

To not maybe be bad.

[Ify Wadiwe]

I think to pay back Bacara when she's back. Plixie, make sure you remind me. I'm gonna Set her up with a hot goblin.

[Tippy]

What?

[Ify Wadiwe]

You don't care?

[Dan Casey]

What?

[Ify Wadiwe]

You don't care?

[Tippy]

Why would you do that? Cause it feels like so not part of the mission.

[Ify Wadiwe]

But you don't care.

[Amy Vorpal]

Dude. Whoa. Just for me. I know I didn't take much part, but I've been doing a good job. Does he have a brother?

[Ify Wadiwe]

This is. This is. I'm trying to let someone.

[Tippy]

There will not be any.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Oh, we're still celebrating.

[Tippy]

Everybody settle down. There won't be any hot goblin because I'm taking Pekora on a date. That's final.

[Ify Wadiwe]

That's all I wanted to do.

[Tippy]

Out of love. It's out of just curiosity. Cause I've never been on a date.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Look, you gotta be open with your feelings because it makes you look less like a baby to me, and I wanna eat you less.

[Amy Vorpal]

Well, the thing is. Screw y'all. I'm gonna go get her myself. You're just talking. And she. He runs off. No, no, no.

[Danielle Radford]

Chases after her.

[Amy Vorpal]

Chase after her. You can tell Captain she's headed right towards Valen's heap.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Okay, we have to go. Cause, like, I can't lose two of my goblins in one day.

[Tippy]

Let's go.

[Amy Vorpal]

And you follow after her. And as you're running, Smellie hands each of the three of you a spell scroll.

[Tippy]

Mm.

[Amy Vorpal]

We're definitely not ready for what's in Baelyn's heap right now. The yesterduster stirred it up when they were there and awoken something. And we haven't been back in two weeks. But all of our resources are there, so let's just hope that she can get through that alone. So to fibs she hands a spell scroll of immovable object.

[Dan Casey]

Ooh.

[Amy Vorpal]

And to busy a spell scroll of Maximilian's earthen grasp.

[Tippy]

Ooh. Okay.

[Amy Vorpal]

And to tippy, smelly hands, a spell scroll of heat metal.

[Tippy]

Oh, my God.

[Dan Casey]

Amazing.

[Amy Vorpal]

And as you run up to Valens heap, this is the other rectangular shape that you saw. This metal box in the sky. And it's about 100ft by 100ft. Big room that's just filled with metal. A junkyard. Piles and mountains and hills stacked on top of each other. This is their non system of organization. All the scrap that they've stolen over longer than a century. As you approach, you're running across wooden planks. You see Plixie, this tiny goblin with little goggles on the top of her head, jumping and running over these little piles, picking up something and throwing it and picking up something and keeping it. If they're just going to keep talking and they're not going to plan anything. Well, I'll just take it upon myself. Picard, don't worry about them. I've got you. I've got you. She looks up, she sees you, and she tosses the one thing in her hand and says, see, I don't need you. I can do this by myself. And you said, Captain, never to come to Valen's heap. Well, egg on your face. Look at me. And just at the place where she threw that last bit of scrap. You see it vibrate as the junk kind of raises and then separates and leaves behind this seven foot metallic humanoid robot figure with red eyes glowing as it stands to full height and stares down at her.

[Ify Wadiwe]

Oh, I immediately turn into a harpy to try and swoop in and pull her out of harm's way.

[Amy Vorpal]

Perfect. So you turn into a harpy, you see Plixie look at your faces and then slowly look behind her and scream. And that is where we will end this episode as our terror squad witnesses Plixie's potential demise. Thank you so much for tuning in and join us next time for a true test of metal.
