Key Discussion Points & Episode Breakdown

1. Arrow Question: Wedding Attire in the World of Stinky Dragon

[03:11 – 12:14]

• Prompt: "What would you wear to Natty's wedding?" (Submitted by listener Smarsh = King)
• Doug (Barbara Dunkelman): Boldly proposes going in his "birthday suit," possibly with just a black bow tie.

  "Doug’s gonna be brave and Doug's gonna go in his birthday suit." – Barbara, [04:20]

• Gunther (Chris Damaris): Describes a formal hat, a suit crafted by Ponya (no tie, instead a red tongue-scarf), and no shoes—fitting croakfolk tradition.
• Natty (John Risinger): Envisions a custom, all-denim, bedazzled, and rhinestoned dress from veil to shoes, designed to literally blind onlookers.

  "The wedding dress is top to bottom, from the veil to my shoes, denim... bedazzled and rhinestoned." – Natty, [09:01]

• Tolv (Blaine Gibson): Plans to wear a cummerbund, suit, and polished skin (hidden for the event), speculates on the impracticality of dry-cleaning humanoid skin and volunteers to be “flower robot DJ/photo booth.”

  "...I need to show up in a way that people will recognize me... I have to hide away my thaumatex skin." – Blaine, [11:19]

• The group riffs on wedding mishaps, Reno 911 “new boot goofin’,” and the dangers of a Texan summer wedding outfitted in all-denim.

---

2. Reanimating the Undead: Natty’s Necromancy and Kleina's Vengeance

[13:13 – 16:53]

• Natty conjures necromantic energies to question the deceased Undarian, Kleina.

  "Your eyes cloud with an otherworldly darkness... The veins in your gesticulating fingers pulse with an unnatural purple glow." – Gustavo, [13:13]

• A vivid combat flashback reveals Kleina’s death at the lance of a croakfolk and subsequent resurrection.
• Natty succeeds in compelling Kleina to answer questions about the Wilder Shield’s whereabouts.
• Gunther receives a devastating attack after a natural 20 roll, taking heavy damage.
• Natty swiftly reasserts control:

  "Hi, I'm Natty, and I need you to stop doing that, okay?" – Natty, [16:53]

• The party gains key info: The Ound army is scouring the Keep for the Wilder Shield, under orders from Infernus.

---

3. Playing Twenty Questions With the Undead

[17:00 – 24:00]

• The team interrogates Kleina:
  • Confirms there are ~79 Undarians present.
  • Bunlap (the hot frog) is also in the keep, after an ambiguous exit.
  • Fun exchanges about the lack of Captain Grumbles’ speech abilities.
  • The group attempts (and fails, due to unlucky dice roll) to get a secret passcode to pass themselves off as allies—ending with a ritual headbutt from Kleina.

  "And Kleina puts his head down and gives you a nasty headbutt... causes one point of bludgeoning damage." – Gustavo/Chris, [23:09]

• The party decides to try to beat Bunlap to the Wilder Shield.

---

4. Investigating Bunlap's Trail and Consulting Augury

[29:24 – 32:23]

• Gunther tracks muddy footprints (Survival 24), confirming Bunlap used the Spiral Evader elevator.
• Natty consults Augury ("the bones") to divine if the party should descend. The sign is “wheel,” a positive omen.

  "Let's do Augury... should we go down?" – Natty, [31:12] "Wheel." – Gustavo, [32:11]

---

5. The Glassy-Eyed Sibling: Excavating Ada

[33:47 – 43:44]

• The party discovers two gemlike “eyes” in the stone—Ada, Tolv’s Thaumatech sibling, who answers only yes/no, Magic 8-ball style.
• Doug and Gunther lead the delicate excavation (avoiding collapse via a quick Dex save by Doug [43:45]), freeing Ada’s full spherical form.
• The group realizes Ada's communication is quirky due to some malfunction.

  "Ada blinks and replies: Concentrate and try again." – [45:04] "They're a Magic 8 ball! ...They're a orb with the eyes on top of the other, looking like an eight..." – Blaine, [45:13–45:21]

---

6. Mining Madness: Psychotropic Rocks and Party Hallucinations

[54:02 – 59:15]

• Gigi, Gunther, and later Doug begin experiencing vivid hallucinations after interacting with or consuming the swirly, reddish-brown rocks.
  • Gunther: “Atta... they are growing arms. Eight arms like octopus. Uh-oh, oh no... there's blood flowing out of the walls..." [57:18]
  • Doug: "Is the room swirling and changing for anyone else? ...Is that snow? ...Did I accidentally take my gaseous form potion again?" [78:41]
• Natty identifies the rocks as psychotropic but not connected to Ada’s malfunction (Medicince 12).
• Gunther collects several hallucinogenic rocks and picks up a special one: a memorial stone etched with fallen croakfolk names (including "Slonker", "Puddle Whack", and "Pickles").

  "Slonker... Puddle Whack... Pickles. I honor them all." – Chris, [69:43–70:24]

---

7. Thaumatech Lore: Ada’s Role as Oracle

[49:10 – 52:22]

• Tolv experiences a glitch in perception and realizes Ada was designed to predict the future.

  "Atta was built and designed to predict the future." – Gustavo, [51:31]

• Ada’s visions may be unreliable due to this malady, leading to possible multiverse-style “potential future” glimpses.

---

8. Folk Wisdom & Parenting: Life Lessons for Gigi and Gambot

[64:40 – 66:15]

• Natty unsuccessfully attempts to teach Gigi not to eat the trippy rocks (“DC16 Wisdom check… Gigi ain’t learned anything new today, but he’s still perfect.” [67:08])
• Doug requests a maternal lesson for Gambot, and the party muses about Natty's parenting style.

---

9. An Encounter with the Goldenrod

[82:34 – 95:01]

• The party finds themselves in a lavish great hall with unique paintings and a mysterious golden fishing rod hanging from the ceiling.
• Natty reels in the rod, summoning the Goldenrod, a deity in the form of a tiny, talking fish with an ego.

  "None are greater than the Golden Rod." – Goldenrod, [90:06]

• The Goldenrod:
  • Is acquainted with Natty’s wife, Death (the Silent Steed), calling them “work acquaintances”.
  • Directs the party toward consulting the Chimera for info about the Wilder Shield, uninterested himself.
  • Is invited to Natty's wedding (and accepts).
• The party and deity exchange coins and banter.

---

10. Climax: The Chimera Emerges

[95:01 – End (~96:55)]

• While observing the water slide in the hall, the party witnesses the approach of a glass-bodied, three-headed, two-winged Chimera—the likely guardian or major figure of the keep they’re exploring.

  “...appears to be like a large fusion of three different beasts made up of some kind of multifaceted glass... three-headed, two-winged, and one tailed...” – Gustavo, [96:05]

• The episode closes on a cliffhanger with the Chimera roaring and the group readying for their next (possibly deadly) encounter.

Long time no see, all you lambent dregs. Chase your plagued prey into the sneaky dragon and imbibe our latest brew Sick in the Mud. It's a mixture of altered Apple, octarine, orange water, wave of contamination, delirium dreg tea, pockmarked pepper and topped with ill expelled juices from the nearest sickly sufferer. One ingestion of this infected ichor and you'll be glowing glowing spawn. Previously, our adventurers came upon conversational Claudia while clambering through Chimera keeps. They undercut some undarians, got the goss from Goliath Goldchasers and uncovered croakfolk clues connected to Bunlap's business. Now nutty has necromance, the non living for nuggets of wisdom. Grab a guzzler and let's get back to this gassy goss.

[Chris Damaris]

Hello everyone.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Welcome to Tales of the Stinky Dragon. I'm your Dungeon Master Gustavo Sorola. I'm hit our four players with an arrow.

[Blaine Gibson]

Do it, coward. Do it. Take the shot.

[John Risinger]

I'm starting to enjoy the arrow actually.

[Chris Damaris]

Yeah. Ooh, it's a little wake up acupuncture.

[Natty Wonder]

Could you direct all of your arrows at just toll?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Oh, make me. Wait. What's your armor class Toll? No, this episode's arrow question is, what would you wear to Natty's wedding? Oh, and that's from Smarsh equals king.

[John Risinger]

Marsh does equal king. Very good name.

[Gustavo Sorola]

That's some solid math there.

[Goldenrod]

Ooh.

[Chris Damaris]

4, 11, 10, 17.

[Gustavo Sorola]

So we're gonna go Doug with 17, Gunther with 11, Natty with 10, then Tove with 4.

[Natty Wonder]

Woo. Woo.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Doug, why don't you lead us off? What would you wear to Natty's wedding?

[John Risinger]

What would I wear to Natty's wedding? That's a great question. Barbara would wear white. No, I'm just kidding. Just to really take the spotlight. I'm Barbara Dunkelman and I play Doug Boone, the artificer Bugbe.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

And you know, in thinking about Natty's wedding, you know, Natty is marrying death, right? That's her wife. And so Doug was thinking about, well, when Doug meets death, what does Doug want to be wearing? So it's less about the wedding and more about, you know, the relationship and the people involved. And so Doug's gonna be brave and Doug's gonna go in his birthday suit.

[Blaine Gibson]

My God.

[Chris Damaris]

Wow.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Yeah, just full like natural bugbear. Because when Doug, you know, crosses over to, you know, the other side, death, whatever it may be, he doesn't want to be in his normal clothes. He wants to just be au natural.

[Chris Damaris]

Wow.

[Blaine Gibson]

Go out coming in the same way he came in.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Exactly.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah, that's. That's brave. I've never. I've never thought about either attending either a wedding or dying at the same time.

[Chris Damaris]

It would be quite a funeral.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah, it would be.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Although, if it's okay, I might just wear just a simple bow tie.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Okay.

[Natty Wonder]

Classic.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

And nothing else.

[Gustavo Sorola]

What color Doug?

[Blaine Gibson]

Doug is also the entertainment for the bachelor party.

[Natty Wonder]

Yeah, the bachelor party.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Oh, I heard there was some betrothed ladies in here.

[John Risinger]

Of course, they're classic black bow tie guys.

[Unknown/Minor Speaker]

Of course.

[Chris Damaris]

Is that again bot in your pocket.

[John Risinger]

Oh, I forgot about Gambot.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Well, Gambot's always in the nude.

[John Risinger]

Yeah, that's true, but I just don't

[Gustavo Sorola]

know where I would keep him in the bow tie. All right, Surprising answer to lead us off from Doug. Thank you, Doug. Up next, we got Gunther.

[Chris Damaris]

Yes, it is a very formal occasion. And so of course, I would wear my. Introduce yourself. I would start with the top. Oh, yeah. I'm Chris Damaris, stranger as I play crook folk fighter named Gunther. Yes. I would just start off with. I would, of course wear my. My. My hat.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Oh, that.

[Chris Damaris]

That we all know and love.

[Blaine Gibson]

Oh, the bike.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Love that hat.

[Chris Damaris]

Yes, I would wear that.

[Natty Wonder]

The one that I can see your screen changing so you can look at it.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah.

[Blaine Gibson]

We could see just a flash of

[Natty Wonder]

light as you were like, you had, like. I need to tell you this, Chris. I don't know if you realize this. Your eyes change focus and how they look when you are looking at your screens and not at us. So when you're doing that and not like just talking to us, that's even worse.

[Chris Damaris]

We hate that even more.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Yeah. Because when Chris is looking at us,

[John Risinger]

his eyes light up. Of course.

[Natty Wonder]

Yeah, yeah.

[Blaine Gibson]

There's a joy.

[John Risinger]

Love.

[Gustavo Sorola]

So your hat.

[Chris Damaris]

Yes, it's in my hat. And then, of course, Ponya. She is a very good at making clothing and she has made me a very formal suit. It looks very good. We do not wear ties.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Oh, why not?

[Chris Damaris]

We just do not. This is not what we do. But we do wear. We do wear. They look like. Like a. A scarf, but that hangs down. It kind of symbolizes a tongue. They are red. Okay, so it is like a tie, but more like a scarf.

[Blaine Gibson]

Like Greninja.

[Chris Damaris]

Yes. And then. Yeah, and then I, of course, I, for formal occasions, do not wear shoes.

[John Risinger]

But for not formal occasions, you do wear shoes.

[Chris Damaris]

It depends on if I'm needing to walk on things that are hard.

[Natty Wonder]

You don't have shoes on right now.

[Chris Damaris]

That's what I'm saying.

[Blaine Gibson]

Arrows are very formal in his culture.

[Chris Damaris]

I say that as in, just so you know, I'm not going to wear shoes. I hope it's okay.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

It's okay. I'm not wearing anything, so.

[Natty Wonder]

Yeah.

[John Risinger]

Except shoes and a bow tie.

[Chris Damaris]

There's something really funny about, like, shoes with socks that go up high.

[John Risinger]

Yeah.

[Chris Damaris]

And then a bow tie and nothing.

[John Risinger]

And nothing else. Oh, I feel. I feel like I'm having flashbacks to the boots you wore, Chris, back when we were at Rooster Teeth. There were these white, like, knee high.

[Chris Damaris]

Yes.

[John Risinger]

Like water boot or like rain boots or something like that.

[Chris Damaris]

They were like fashionable women's boots.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Fashionable in post.

[John Risinger]

I wore them all the time.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah, it's a. It's like that Reno 911 skit. The what? The new boot. Goofin.

[Natty Wonder]

Yeah. Scootin, scootin' Scootin.

[Gustavo Sorola]

That's it.

[John Risinger]

New boot, scootin.

[Gustavo Sorola]

New boot scootin. Okay, thanks, Gunther. Up next, I think was Natty.

[Natty Wonder]

It might have been goofin. Now I'm second guessing the joke.

[Blaine Gibson]

I thought it is goofin.

[Natty Wonder]

I think it is goofing. I think I've Berenstein bared myself. Hi, I'm John Risinger and I play Natty Wonder who is drow, warlock, drag queen and lady who we're all talking about. And the bride special day. Do, do, do, do.

[Gustavo Sorola]

That's the.

[Natty Wonder]

That's the wedding.

[Blaine Gibson]

Continue on. I'm sorry.

[Natty Wonder]

And I, I know there's like the traditional kind of understanding of what a wedding dress should be, but I think anybody who spent a lick of time with me knows that, you know, traditional went out the window years and years ago. And so I have already commissioned my wedding dress. Not complete yet. It's going to take a bit. And the wedding dress is top to bottom, from the veil to my shoes denim and the veil to the toenail veil to the toenail denim. And it's not just like plain old denim. It's all bedazzled and rhinestoned denim. So much so that in certain parts of it, as I move around, it's to. I'm sure it's going to blind some people, which I think is. Is fantastic.

[Blaine Gibson]

Question for Natty. How do you see through a denim veil?

[Natty Wonder]

You know, you know, when you have like old denim pants that like have like worn out areas,

[Chris Damaris]

what it is,

[Barbara Dunkelman]

I thought you were going to say like just like the fibers or something like that.

[Natty Wonder]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. A little bit like this, this fella I love Orville Peck. I'm gonna have a little something like that little dangly.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Is it like washing denim or kind of like mixed washes?

[Natty Wonder]

I think it's going to come out to be a little bit mixed washes. So there's some little break in the tonal value across it, you know. And also Barbara is inspired all the rhinestones and everything like that. So it's. I think it's going to be quite the statement.

[John Risinger]

Yeah. Hey, if Kristen's still looking for a wedding dress, I think we just found.

[Blaine Gibson]

I'm writing ideas. Yeah, Yeah.

[Natty Wonder]

A wedding in the summer of Austin wearing all denim.

[Chris Damaris]

Yes.

[John Risinger]

She won't die anytime in Austin. Right. Really?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Oh, the, the. That's. I've never seen that before, Natty. And now I kind of want to see it. All right, thanks for that. Every. Everyone so far, really interesting choices to. If you're up next, I'm Curious to see how you're going to put a cap on this.

[Blaine Gibson]

Yeah. Hey, it's me, Blaine Gibson. And. Hold on, let me look something up. Just the brightest splash on your face. This is an audio only thing.

[Natty Wonder]

What did you do to make that happen?

[Blaine Gibson]

I turned on my. My lights. My elato. Oh.

[Natty Wonder]

Oh, you have like performance lights.

[John Risinger]

Okay. Yeah.

[Natty Wonder]

Cause I was like, you reached for something. There was a light ready to blind you.

[John Risinger]

I'm also gonna look for something. Hold on.

[Blaine Gibson]

That's a goof just for you guys. That's a goof just for you guys. Hello, I'm Blaine Gibson. I play Tolv, the male thaumatech barbarian. Yoo hoo. Oh, a wedding. How exciting. Oh, I don't know where to start. I definitely want to wear a cummerbund and a suit. But I think it's important, you know, I need to show up in a way that people will recognize me. And I don't want to be too shiny. So I have to hide away my thaumatex skin, even though I will have it polished for the big day. But I'm also going to make sure that I dry clean my Bjorn skin. I don't know what the results of dry cleaning formerly living flesh would be. Maybe it'll give it a nice leather polish or it will make it fall apart and I look like a zombie sitting in the crowd next to Captain Grumbles. Who knows? But very exciting. Hopefully I am a like some sort of like flower girl. Boy, I don't know. Whatever you need. Wedding, flower robot, Flower robot, dj. It could be a photo booth if you want.

[John Risinger]

Whatever you're all the tech needs of the wedding.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah.

[Natty Wonder]

Before you started talking about the whole skin addition, the immediate image I had in my head was Bicentennial man at the wedding in that movie where he was wearing a full suit over his robot body.

[Blaine Gibson]

Yes, that's the Robin Williams one, right?

[Natty Wonder]

Yeah.

[John Risinger]

Yeah.

[Blaine Gibson]

Okay, okay, I watched that. Is it worth a watch?

[John Risinger]

I think so.

[Natty Wonder]

It depends on who you're talking to. And if you're talking to Barbara or me, it's a resounding yes. All right. And Mike, Micah's in chat. Yes. Okay, okay. But other people might disagree, but I think they need more whimsy in their life.

[John Risinger]

Yeah, I agree.

[Blaine Gibson]

And that's why they're here listening to tales from the stinky dragons.

[Natty Wonder]

That's true.

[Gustavo Sorola]

A whimsical tale, Natty. Your eyes cloud with an otherworldly darkness. What little light was in the cavern is immediately extinguished as you conjure necromantic. Energies from the realm of the dead. The veins in your gesticulating fingers pulse with an unnatural purple glow. The corpse's fingers mimic your own, cracking and crinkling to life like desiccated worms writhing in the dirt. The cadaver suddenly slams its fists to the ground, releasing a cloud of steam all around as it hobbles to its moving feet. Its horned head wafts through the mists and stares with narrowed, unblinking eyes locked on Gunther.

[Chris Damaris]

Ah, you cannot kill Kleina so easily, Croakfolk.

[Blaine Gibson]

I will have my revenge.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Without warning, the undead Undarian charges horns first, straight for Gunther. Kleina turns the corner and sees a Croak Folk field dressing a recently slain Guildelix, assumedly for food. Notorious lowers his head of horns and attempts to gore the amphibian, but at the last second the fair faced frog leaps high into a backflip behind Kleina. The Undarian's momentum sends his horns forward, piercing the Spiral Vader with a loud clang and the Croak Folk unleashes his tongue, grapples the lever in the lift and the whole contraption lowers rapidly, pinning Fina and his horns to the ground.

[Chris Damaris]

Wham.

[Gustavo Sorola]

The Croakfolk arms himself with a beak tipped lance and asks, where has the

[Blaine Gibson]

Chimera run off to?

[Chris Damaris]

I don't answer to you, Mort face.

[Blaine Gibson]

Then why are you bowing before me?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Undarian Klinus swings his Cadillac at the frog's legs, but the croakfrook carries it with panache. The Cadillacs flies into a nearby wall.

[Blaine Gibson]

You fight with cowardice, Undarian.

[Chris Damaris]

Come face me another day when you have found your honor.

[Gustavo Sorola]

The Crook folk turns to leave the cavern and Klein thieves the Spiral Vader off his head and charges the frog in rage. Blood spills on the ground. Kleiner looks down at their gut, impaled by the frog's lance. The beak tip breaks off as Notorious tumbles to the stained floor. Blackness closes in and consumes Kleiner's vision.

[Chris Damaris]

I should be taking notes.

[Blaine Gibson]

So it was stealth defense on the Croak folks behalf.

[John Risinger]

You know, have we learned what a Guildelix is?

[Gustavo Sorola]

You probably don't know what it is it's got. It's a creature with like a wolverine body and a mane of pine green hair with a long tongue. A voice echoes deep within Kleina's soul. I would welcome you to the Coil,

[Barbara Dunkelman]

but it seems you are needed elsewhere. Say hi to my wife.

[Gustavo Sorola]

And with a crack, Kleina's eyes snap back open. His gaze burns with blood boiling fury as he Sees the croaked folk standing before him.

[Chris Damaris]

You cannot kill Kleiner so easily, croakfolk.

[Gustavo Sorola]

I will have my revenge.

[Unknown/Minor Speaker]

What?

[John Risinger]

So he was dead and we reanimated him. So he, or I guess, came back to life.

[Chris Damaris]

Oh, hello. My name is Gunther.

[Gustavo Sorola]

He charges horns forward, ready to pierce the frog. Straight at you, Gunther. Hitting Ack.

[Chris Damaris]

No, my ac right now is eight.

[Blaine Gibson]

Well, bad news, Gunther, because I just saw that roll.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah, what is it? It didn't pop up on my screen.

[Chris Damaris]

It's a nat 20.

[Natty Wonder]

It's a nat 20. Is it?

[Chris Damaris]

Do your work.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Okay. Yeah. The attack hits you, charges right through you, doing 16 points of bludgeoning damage, and it knocks you back into the wall behind you. Gunther. Such strong force, you take an additional eight points of bludgeoning damage from colliding with the wall. Notorious looks around with fury and anger in its eyes.

[Natty Wonder]

Hi, I'm Natty, and I need you to stop doing that, okay?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Oh, right. You can command it, right?

[Natty Wonder]

Yeah, yeah. That's my buddy. That's my buddy. My new buddy fighting my old buddy. And I need my buddies to be buddies.

[Blaine Gibson]

Okay, I thought you were telling Gunther to stop bleeding to death and moaning over. Yeah, like, stop her.

[Chris Damaris]

Stop.

[Blaine Gibson]

I'm trying to keep it together. Gunther. You're okay.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

I like to think Natty was maybe doing a two for one when she said that.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Okay, so I guess it's compelled. It's compelled to listen to you.

[Natty Wonder]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just like anybody who has a taste of Natty's charisma. What's. I don't know what to call you. Do you have a real name?

[Chris Damaris]

Kleiner.

[Natty Wonder]

Kleiner. Kleiner. Okay. Well, Kleiner, what you doing here? Why are you here?

[Chris Damaris]

Searching for the Wilder Shield.

[Natty Wonder]

Okay, yeah, that makes sense. So your party, or whatever, like, group, you're part of your troop. They hadn't located it quite yet, but are on the hunt. Remind me why? Why do you guys want it? I know why this dude over here who's bleeding out wants it. But why do you guys want it?

[Chris Damaris]

The Ound army has been summoned here by Infernus because she desires the Wilder Shield.

[Natty Wonder]

Okay, okay. Yeah, she's quite a collector.

[Chris Damaris]

Where were you looking for it?

[Gustavo Sorola]

I like the pained delivery there. We have a map.

[Blaine Gibson]

If you want to point, we could tell us.

[Chris Damaris]

We are scouring the Keep. I was searching the lower levels of the mine.

[Natty Wonder]

Okay, okay.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Is it definitely in here? Is that what you were told?

[Chris Damaris]

Somewhere in the Keep.

[Goldenrod]

Oh.

[Natty Wonder]

All right. Well, how many of y' all are around here still. Because we have.

[John Risinger]

We?

[Natty Wonder]

What other Andarians. We had the three in that room.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah. This is the same kind of creature as those three that were in that room.

[Blaine Gibson]

Oh, but it is.

[John Risinger]

This one was in that room, right?

[Blaine Gibson]

Yeah. Cause we got the one that was let go the previous episode.

[John Risinger]

The grunt.

[Blaine Gibson]

Razzleberry.

[John Risinger]

Razzleberry.

[Natty Wonder]

Yeah, I guess that's four.

[Chris Damaris]

This is a new one.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah, this is a different one. This is not the same as that. We're up in there 79.

[Natty Wonder]

Good. That's a good crew.

[Chris Damaris]

Is that including you?

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Because now it'll make a big deal for you.

[Blaine Gibson]

Was this around AD. Was it around 80 before they, you know, you get killed?

[Goldenrod]

Math.

[Blaine Gibson]

Do math.

[Natty Wonder]

Ballpark figures are fine. Ballpark's figures are fine. When it's that. When it's numbers that high, we don't need.

[Chris Damaris]

We have enough to play ball.

[Blaine Gibson]

Wait, I'm dead?

[Natty Wonder]

It doesn't change much if you say it's 81. Like. Okay, that's a lot.

[Chris Damaris]

Wait, I was killed.

[Blaine Gibson]

No, no, no, no. You're fine. You're fine. I have a quick question. It's not for Kleiner. Cover ears. Cover ears. Natty, if you can bring back dead people, right, Kleiner. Captain Grumbles, Klein is over here. Yappity yapping. Why haven't we heard a peep from Captain Grumbles? All he goes is blunt. Captain Grumbles, can you talk? Are you choosing to do that? Can you. Have you actually been able to talk and understand this entire time?

[Barbara Dunkelman]

You know, I think I'm understanding him, actually. He just said. Oh, he just said, I am Groot.

[Gustavo Sorola]

In combat. When y' all were fighting Captain Grumbles, someone hit him in the neck and destroyed his voice box. His larynx.

[Natty Wonder]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Blaine Gibson]

Retcon.

[John Risinger]

But not his ability to swear.

[Chris Damaris]

It's intense. Yeah, I was coughing at blood. You say you faced someone who looks like me, but like more handsome? Where? Do you know where they left off to? Did you see where they went after? They definitely didn't kill you? Oh, yeah. He was way more handsome. You look like garbage.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

I know exactly what you're mean. What you mean and who you're talking about.

[Chris Damaris]

He was here. He was right there.

[Gustavo Sorola]

And he points to by the Spiral Vader.

[Chris Damaris]

Where did he go?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Up or down?

[Blaine Gibson]

You got a 5050 shot on this one, Kleiner.

[Natty Wonder]

Yeah, he don't know. He got. He got this curtain call before Bunlap made his exit.

[John Risinger]

Yeah, I think it happened right on this level that we're on right now.

[Chris Damaris]

Where did he go.

[Gustavo Sorola]

He's looking around now.

[Natty Wonder]

We don't know. Listen, listen, listen. I'm gonna be revenge. Nope. I'm gonna be.

[Chris Damaris]

Oh, please don't.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Nope.

[Natty Wonder]

I'm gonna be straight up with you. Okay, we're kind of full up on party members for us, and I've got a reservation to take care of this guy over here. And I point to Captain Grumbles. But don't worry, you're gonna be in good hands, okay? You might have already met my wife. She's a lovely gal, takes care of her people, and so, you know, this is gonna be a short visit. I'm just giving you time to process that.

[Goldenrod]

Okay?

[Gustavo Sorola]

We haven't even had.

[Chris Damaris]

We only just met.

[Blaine Gibson]

But before you go there, Kleiner, do you. Are there any, like, cool, secret passcodes or anything where if we were to encounter your friends, you know, we. They'll know we're cool? Because, Kleiner, we're cool. You know? So, like, do you guys have, like

[Barbara Dunkelman]

a, you know, a thing, a secret handshake or, like.

[Natty Wonder]

Yeah.

[Blaine Gibson]

Password.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Roll me a check of some kind. Blaine. Roll me, roll me. We're gonna. See, we're gonna call this a luck check, which doesn't technically exist. So roll me a D20.

[Blaine Gibson]

A D20.

[John Risinger]

Well, do you want my. My inspiration?

[Gustavo Sorola]

What is it? It didn't show up on my screen.

[Natty Wonder]

I think this needs to be based. This needs to be based off of Blaine's luck. How did your luck turn out, Blaine?

[Blaine Gibson]

What an unlucky day. That's a one.

[Chris Damaris]

He's number one. Yeah.

[Blaine Gibson]

All right, go ahead. Tell me what would give me something good.

[Natty Wonder]

Barbara, I appreciate it, but. Yeah, we'll let it ride.

[Blaine Gibson]

I. I want. I don't want to take care of that. Or do I? I don't know. Yes, here.

[Gustavo Sorola]

And Kleiner puts his head down and gives you a nasty headbutt. I mean, just like full force straight on. Right on. Well, what would be your nose, but your Thaumatech.

[John Risinger]

As. As Doug sees this, he's writing it down in his notebook.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

It's just headbutt.

[Gustavo Sorola]

And it causes one point of bludgeoning damage.

[Chris Damaris]

Okay.

[Blaine Gibson]

Oh, okay. So it's something like this. And then I headbutt him back.

[Chris Damaris]

Oh, yeah.

[Blaine Gibson]

I was hoping you would just die.

[Gustavo Sorola]

He falls. He says that and then falls to the ground, unmoving.

[Chris Damaris]

But.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Oh. Oh, well, I. I think we've gleaned all the information we need to from him. Right, Gunter? You have what you need?

[Chris Damaris]

I guess.

[Natty Wonder]

I mean, it better be, because I can't do that again. I gotta take quite the rest for that to happen again.

[Blaine Gibson]

Then yes, Gunther, give him mouth to mouth. He's. He can bring him back, I promise you.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

I think it's. It's good to know that the Bunlap is clearly here and he's looking for the wielder shield, which also is somewhere here. So. Yes, I don't know, maybe we could try to get to it first or try to meet back up with Bunlap.

[Chris Damaris]

Well, I feel like if I get to it first and that might not. I need to get to Bunlap first and then go with Bunlap because I do not want to anger my deity.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Yeah, that's probably for the best.

[Blaine Gibson]

Well, spoiler alert. You already have. There's 79 Undarians and we know that they went down the spiral hanging out elevator.

[Natty Wonder]

No, we don't. No, we don't.

[Blaine Gibson]

We went up or down the spiral.

[Natty Wonder]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So we don't know. So don't say facts that aren't facts. This group really runs with those.

[Chris Damaris]

Can I do a check, like a survival check to check for bun laps, footprints and any any smells or anything that might guide us as to where he went exactly. And maybe make a.

[Gustavo Sorola]

You can make a survival check if while you're making that check I just want to remind everyone, I think we talked about it already but just to be safe about the ways in and out of this room. Oh, the Senat twin.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

24 Heck yeah.

[Gustavo Sorola]

You all came in from the southern end of this room and then from this room you can go there's a corridor to the west which is caved in, a corridor to the east and the Spiral Evader which goes either up or down. Just so everyone's got it in their head. So 24 yeah, you, you know it's this is not. I'm going to be honest with you Chris, I probably wasn't going to give you anything here because this is a very difficult room to track in with the water and you know the combat that happened and everything going on. But you know, with a roll that good you are able to discern that it appears that Bundlap's steps go to the Spiral Evader.

[Blaine Gibson]

Now based on his footprints is he does is this a formal event or a non formal event? By that I mean is he wearing shoes or not very formal. No shoes.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Got it.

[John Risinger]

Okay.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Don't take any clothes off okay, his grippers are out.

[Blaine Gibson]

Oh, no.

[Chris Damaris]

Is this spiral? It can go up or down.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Correct.

[Chris Damaris]

And there's no way to discern. Is there a way to discern which direction the elevator went most recently?

[John Risinger]

I mean, we could just choose a direction and then explore that. And if that's not it, then go down.

[Gustavo Sorola]

You could ask the Wilder Flower.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Oh, you want to have a little conversation? All right, guys. How about we leave it up to chance?

[Unknown/Minor Speaker]

How about.

[Natty Wonder]

How about this? I'll help. I can help. I can help. And Natty has. Has. Has helped.

[Chris Damaris]

What, are you gonna revive this guy again? Because they were

[Gustavo Sorola]

like, I can't take another one.

[John Risinger]

He's like, let me take a quick, long rest here.

[Natty Wonder]

And then, yeah, let's do Augury.

[Blaine Gibson]

Oh, the bones. Yeah, Throw them dice down.

[Chris Damaris]

We shall consult the bones.

[Natty Wonder]

Yes. And as a reminder, you receive an omen about a specific course of action that you plan to take within the next 30 minutes. And then you, the DM, say, Wheel. Woe. Wheel and woe are nothing. And those determine. Yes. No.

[Blaine Gibson]

So is that dung, boot, boon, speak,

[Gustavo Sorola]

reel or roe or.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Yeah, yeah, listen, I'm working on it.

[Natty Wonder]

You're perfect how you are. I roll the bones, and I say, should we go down?

[Barbara Dunkelman]

This was in Stardust, one of my

[John Risinger]

favorite movies, where they throw the bones up.

[Natty Wonder]

Yes, it is.

[Chris Damaris]

It's also in Willow.

[Goldenrod]

Willow.

[Gustavo Sorola]

I haven't seen Willow in decades. I need to watch that again. So. Going down, Wheeler.

[Natty Wonder]

Whoa.

[Gustavo Sorola]

To Augury. Correct.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Yeah.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Wheel.

[John Risinger]

Yay.

[Natty Wonder]

We're going down.

[Blaine Gibson]

We should start calling it Wheel.

[Unknown/Minor Speaker]

Or no.

[Blaine Gibson]

Wheel.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Wheel of Fortune. But, you know, whatever. Each their own.

[Natty Wonder]

So let's. Let's. Let's take an elevator down Spiral of Vader. Sorry, Sorry.

[Blaine Gibson]

Is there, like, a funny goblin in, like, a little bellhop suit with a little pill hat? He says, oh, hello. Can I take your bags?

[Chris Damaris]

I will put on the gas. No, the scuba diving mask, Norco mask, and my eel skin hat so that I look not like me. So that if we meet Ondarians, they will not immediately attack.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Sounds good. The Spiral Evader. I mentioned this in the previous episode, but I have not mentioned it again in this episode, so I feel compelled to say it again. The Spiral Evader is pretty small. It can probably hold about two people at a time.

[Natty Wonder]

Oh, yeah, you did say that.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Who wants to go down for. Oh, how. I assume you go two and two. But you tell me, how are y' all gonna approach this?

[Blaine Gibson]

I'll go first. I'll, you know, secure the area.

[Chris Damaris]

I'll go first. In case bodlap is there.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

This probably makes sense from a size perspective of a big guy, small guy and another big guy.

[John Risinger]

Small, small.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Natty.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Okay, so Tollv and Gunther first, then Doug and Natty.

[Natty Wonder]

No, Tolve and Gunther first, and then Gigi and Cap' n Grumbles and then Doug and Natty.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Okay, got it.

[John Risinger]

John, I'm going to kill you. Just kidding.

[Blaine Gibson]

Guys.

[Gustavo Sorola]

I'm gonna go ahead and read it. So Tolve and Gunther, you both descend through the spiral evader. And when you emerge on the lower level, it appears to be a sort of archaeological dig. And you get like a, like a waft, a scent of smoke in the air. And on the wall you see two. What appear to be two blue gemstone eyes.

[Chris Damaris]

Oh.

[Blaine Gibson]

Scaring the area, Checking our corners, looking around.

[Gustavo Sorola]

The eyes pop open and immediately focus on you Tole. They're rough hewn through the rock and they are stacked one on top of the other.

[Blaine Gibson]

So. But their eyes are their blue gems.

[Gustavo Sorola]

They're blue gems that appear to be

[Chris Damaris]

like eyes but one on top of the other.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah, almost like a squared off eight. Like you know, like an LED clock. You know, the. Almost like two boxes, one top of the.

[Chris Damaris]

Like they're right on top of each other. They're kind of cross eyed.

[Gustavo Sorola]

They're right on top of each other. I wouldn't say they're even cross eyed. They're like vertically one on top of the other.

[John Risinger]

They look like eyes, but they're not necessarily eyes.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Correct. Yeah, that's a good way to think of it.

[Chris Damaris]

But they just opened.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah, they're open and there's like a blue glowing light out of them and they're fixated on youtol.

[John Risinger]

This is what Trevor sees when he comes into my, into our bedroom when I'm already getting ready for bed and I'm just like, welcome to the bedroom.

[Natty Wonder]

Come hither.

[Blaine Gibson]

I turn my head sideways to greet them in a way that they can see us. Me, eye to eye. And I say, yoo hoo. It's me, Tov. Hello, blue eyes.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

My blue eyes.

[Blaine Gibson]

Hi, Frank Sinatra. What are you doing here?

[Gustavo Sorola]

They, they just, just blink at you?

[Blaine Gibson]

I blink back, blink.

[Chris Damaris]

Nothing.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Okay.

[Chris Damaris]

Is there anything else in this space?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah.

[Blaine Gibson]

Are there any like dead bodies? Does this seem like a security system of any sort?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Make a. Let's call it an intelligence check.

[Blaine Gibson]

Oh, okay.

[Chris Damaris]

Both of us are.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah.

[Blaine Gibson]

That is a 16, a 6.

[Gustavo Sorola]

You begin looking around, trying to see if it's you know, like you're trying to work on your theory that it's security system. And it doesn't seem like there's much else of note. Nothing that would appear to be like. Like a security system. Like you're thinking, okay. And as you're. As you're thinking about this, poking around trying to figure it out, the rest of the party comes down to Spiral Vader and joins.

[Blaine Gibson]

Hello, guys. There are some blue eyes. I do not see a white dragon. But, you know, just be aware it's a Yukio reference.

[Natty Wonder]

It's very funny. Laugh, laugh.

[Goldenrod]

Very good.

[Blaine Gibson]

Yeah, I've already made the reference.

[Natty Wonder]

Do I have to laugh when you make it too?

[Blaine Gibson]

What?

[Barbara Dunkelman]

I like my blue eyes.

[Chris Damaris]

Yeah.

[Natty Wonder]

She made.

[Blaine Gibson]

Did she?

[John Risinger]

Yeah, it's okay. It's funnier.

[Natty Wonder]

You were thinking of Frank Sinatra.

[John Risinger]

Yeah, it's funnier when you deliver it.

[Blaine Gibson]

Oh man. I believe it. I think it might be a security system, but it doesn't seem to pose a threat. I don't. I'm going to go up to it and maybe touch the top one. What the heck?

[Gustavo Sorola]

As you get closer, the eyes seem to track you. And you go up and touch it. And right as you're about to touch it, the eyelid closes. So you touch the wall and then as you pull your hand away, it reopens and still looking at you. This seems somewhat familiar to you, Tolve.

[Blaine Gibson]

Is it a similar blue hue to my shield that allows me to see sonatax? Oh, it's recognizing me because I'm a Thaumatech.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Your shield is glowing, sibling.

[Blaine Gibson]

Are you.

[Goldenrod]

Are you.

[Natty Wonder]

Hello.

[Blaine Gibson]

Is this one of you my brothers or sisters?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Without a doubt. What? Which one?

[Blaine Gibson]

Gnoll? Ed? Diva?

[Chris Damaris]

Trey?

[Blaine Gibson]

Fryra?

[Natty Wonder]

Finn?

[Blaine Gibson]

Sex. Stu. We have a nickname for sex. We'll get into that later. Stu. Atta.

[Gustavo Sorola]

It is certain.

[Blaine Gibson]

Are you Atta? Do I need to go backwards? Yes, definitely. Okay, good. So good to see you. Why do you look this way? Are the eyes similar to the size of Tolls? For some reason in my mind I'm imagining them large, but I guess. Is it just like. Is it just like two normal Thaumatech eyes?

[Chris Damaris]

Yeah, I thought they were big, but

[Gustavo Sorola]

I mean, they're kind of big.

[John Risinger]

Why aren't they really answering you though? Like. Yeah, they aren't really saying who they are.

[Chris Damaris]

They only have a mouth that you could see.

[John Risinger]

I just mean, like you're asking which.

[Natty Wonder]

Wait, wait, which sibling? I wanna follow Chris's logic. They weren't answering because I don't have a mouth, but they were talking. So how are they talking?

[Chris Damaris]

Yeah, okay, that's fair.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah.

[Natty Wonder]

Do I see Any.

[Blaine Gibson]

Is this another Neo Tio situation where there are body parts missing?

[Gustavo Sorola]

You can only see eyes.

[Chris Damaris]

Can I try something?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah, go for it.

[Chris Damaris]

I have this thing, the octopod of obscura. Turns water into inquisitive ink. Dribbles some out. Ink flows towards hidden things in an area.

[Blaine Gibson]

Oh, that's cool.

[Chris Damaris]

And see if. Can I try that and see if there's anything hidden in this room that we're missing?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah.

[Chris Damaris]

Or like, there's more body parts or anything.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Absolutely. Do you have to, like, say what you're looking for or just, like, it just flows to things that are hidden, right?

[Chris Damaris]

It just says. Yeah, things that are hidden or. And I roll. I have 4D6, I think, per long rest. So I'll roll to see if it uses one of those. It's a three. So does that mean it's used up?

[Gustavo Sorola]

One to two exhausts it. So. No, three does not.

[Chris Damaris]

Oh, okay.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah. So you pour out the octopod of obscura on the ground, and it slowly flows. I was gonna say rolls. It flows in the direction of the wall where the eyes are. And just as a reminder, this. This level is carved out. It looks like an archaeological dig of some kind.

[Blaine Gibson]

So this is like that other leg that we found way, way back.

[Chris Damaris]

We need to. Maybe the rest is still in stone. It's time for a dig.

[Blaine Gibson]

Yes. Dear family member. Blink twice if you need, like, to be freed because you're trapped in this wall.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Outlook good.

[Natty Wonder]

Oh, no.

[Blaine Gibson]

Okay, I think, guys, I think that they are in a bit of a crisis situation where they're not thinking or responding correctly. So if you guys wouldn't mind helping me get my family member out.

[Gustavo Sorola]

I. I don't know. I don't know how well it's coming across, so I feel compelled to mention it. Every time it's replying, it's a different voice.

[Natty Wonder]

Interesting.

[Blaine Gibson]

So is it multiple family? Okay.

[John Risinger]

Or something weird's happening with, like, his voice box?

[Blaine Gibson]

Yeah, it's a real bumblebee from Transformers situation.

[Natty Wonder]

Yeah.

[Blaine Gibson]

I mean, Doug, I feel like you would be very helpful for this. Do you have any sort of machinery could gambot to do anything to help me excavate my family member?

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Yeah, absolutely. Why don't I take a look? Permission to come check you out, Ada. As I see it.

[Goldenrod]

Yes.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Okay, that was a verbal yes. So I'm coming over.

[John Risinger]

Could Doug, like, I guess check out mechanically how this is functioning and if there's, like, a piece out of whack or anything like that? Because, I mean, he has spent time with Tolv and also Neo Teo and all those other siblings. So I feel like Doug would have a pretty good understanding of like, how the Thaumatech form would be and all the parts and pieces and stuff.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah, I think that it's, you know, it's technology that's. I don't want to say it's beyond Doug, but it's like, it's very complicated, very powerful technology. But like you said, you have spent a lot of time with it. So while you, you don't have the ability to build a Thaumatech per se, you understand the ins and outs and like, more or less how it all connects and how everything works. So, you know, you poke around a bit and, you know, try to see what's going on and make me an intelligence check, Doug, with advantage because of your Thaumatech knowledge.

[Blaine Gibson]

Okay. Yes, I have caught Doug looking at me when I am in a trance.

[John Risinger]

Yes.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

I'm studying 21.

[Natty Wonder]

Nice.

[Gustavo Sorola]

21. That's really good.

[Unknown/Minor Speaker]

Yeah.

[Gustavo Sorola]

You know, you trace the outline of the eyes and try to touch the wall and ascertain what's going on around you. And from your perception, what it appears to you is that this Thaumatech is buried in the wall and only the eyes have been excavated so far. That if you continue the excavation behind it, that you will uncover more of it.

[John Risinger]

Okay. I think I have in my inventory. See, I could have sworn I had like a pickaxe, but maybe I don't.

[Chris Damaris]

Yeah, yeah, I have smithing tools and

[John Risinger]

I have a. I do have a pickaxe. Okay.

[Gustavo Sorola]

You did buy some from Claudia and

[Chris Damaris]

I got a drill.

[John Risinger]

Already have a pickaxe, Smith tools, and I think also a heavy duty drill as well.

[Gustavo Sorola]

In my inventory, I believe you got that pickaxe under Fort Endridge, if I'm remembering right.

[John Risinger]

I did.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah, I think. Yeah, you got that a long time ago.

[Chris Damaris]

And I have a warpick, a wafting warpick.

[John Risinger]

Could I gently try to excavate the rest of this Thaumatech?

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Yeah, Tolv, I promise I'll be gentle. Okay. I won't hurt your sibling.

[Blaine Gibson]

I'm not worried about it. I know you are very gentle. It's okay, dog. I'm going to help in any way I can. Just going to provide assistance.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah. You begin slowly picking at it. As you begin uncovering it, you start to realize the scope of the work and you think it's going to take some time to get it all done. It's not impossible, but it will take a little bit of time working at it in order to get it all excavated.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Well, I mean, I got time.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Okay. Yeah. You begin picking at the rubble around Ada and make me a dexterity saving throw.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Doug. Saving throw. Okay.

[John Risinger]

Gonna use my inspo die because I was an 11.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Whoa. Yes, Nat.

[John Risinger]

20 for a 22.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Ooh. Okay. Yeah. As you're picking at it, you feel a slight rumble in the wall and in the ground under your feet, and you dodge out of the way just in time as a large piece of the ceiling falls and collapses right where you were standing just a second ago.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

I swear I didn't do that.

[Natty Wonder]

How was Ada?

[Blaine Gibson]

Are they further buried into the rubble or was this just a.

[Gustavo Sorola]

No. That frees Ada. The collapse of the ceiling causes part of the wall to fall as well, which allows Ada to roll out from the wall. And now you can fully see Ada before you. And you see, Ada has a sphere shaped body and is cart sized and appears to be made out of some kind of black metal with a central circular display of two square eyes made of sapphire with one on top of the other. And Ada begins rolling around, moving around.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Didn't Ada always look like that?

[Natty Wonder]

Ada sounds like a Star wars droid.

[Blaine Gibson]

Yeah, they do. Ocho, what's up? How are you? I go in for a.

[Gustavo Sorola]

You go in and feel the cool metal sphere that is your sibling. Ada.

[Blaine Gibson]

Oh, so good to see you. What are you doing down here, Atta?

[Gustavo Sorola]

The eyes just blink.

[Blaine Gibson]

Do I remember if Ada's always had difficulty communicating or is this a new symptom of something?

[Gustavo Sorola]

I'll say this. Ada blinks and you look at Ada and they reply to you. Concentrate and try again.

[Blaine Gibson]

Are they like a magic.

[Natty Wonder]

They're a Magic 8 ball.

[Blaine Gibson]

They're a Magic 8 ball. I just got it now. They're a orb with the eyes on top of the other, looking like an

[Natty Wonder]

eight with an eight. Eight.

[John Risinger]

Yeah.

[Blaine Gibson]

Guys, I should tell you this. Atta is a little quirky, okay? They're not very straightforward, but they're very good people. Okay, everybody say hi to Atta.

[Chris Damaris]

Hi, Atta.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Hello, Atta.

[Blaine Gibson]

Natty, say hi to Adda.

[Natty Wonder]

Natty goes up and shakes. Adda,

[Barbara Dunkelman]

you gotta ask a question when you do it.

[Blaine Gibson]

Yeah.

[Natty Wonder]

And says, are you gonna come to my wedding? And then Natty waits.

[John Risinger]

It is decidedly so.

[Blaine Gibson]

Oh, great. Also, what is the head count at your wedding?

[Chris Damaris]

My God.

[Blaine Gibson]

Inviting people willy nilly.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Hey, Ada, have you seen a very.

[Natty Wonder]

It's your family. I'm sorry? It's your family. Tove, I'm inviting your family. You're mad at me?

[Blaine Gibson]

No, not at all. I hope you can invite all 11 of my brothers and sisters, but gee whiz, like, actually, that's a ton of people. That's very expensive.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

You.

[Blaine Gibson]

You must become from wealth.

[John Risinger]

Blaine would know firsthand how expensive having a lot of guests at a wedding.

[Blaine Gibson]

It's plated. Or is it like, you know,

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Have you by any chance seen a very, very, very handsome frog like, guy walking around here?

[Blaine Gibson]

Yeah, not that one.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

I mean, you know, I did say very, very handsome. Stars point. Yes. Oh, I didn't realize you had lungs. Don't count on it.

[Blaine Gibson]

Can I, Can I examine Ada? Like I know that they're. This is how they communicate. Are they damaged from this?

[Gustavo Sorola]

You think this must be some kind of new symptom, right? Like, Ada wasn't always like this, that Ada used to be able to talk more. Something must have happened.

[John Risinger]

Okay, should I continue checking out their voice box? That's something I could do.

[Blaine Gibson]

And if you can, if you need any spare parts, I will donate any of them.

[Gustavo Sorola]

It's like Blaine's doing the robot as he sits there.

[Natty Wonder]

He's doing the C3PO is what he's doing.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, if you want, you can, you can make some kind of check on that intelligence. I'm trying to see what would make sense. I guess intelligence would make the most sense.

[John Risinger]

Okay, 19.

[Gustavo Sorola]

You get through there, you know, take a look at the workings of Ada's voice box and try to see, you know, how everything connects to each other, but it doesn't quite makes sense to you. Everything is wired the way it should be. You know, you can see that it's working and you can't just figure out why the vocabulary is limited.

[Natty Wonder]

Typical IT problem.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Yeah, typical.

[Blaine Gibson]

Does this seem like something that's like a life threatening thing, or is this just kind of a new thing that they're gonna have to deal with?

[Gustavo Sorola]

I mean, Ada's rolling around and themes, from what you can tell, seems fine. Just limited speech.

[Chris Damaris]

It's BB8 ball.

[Natty Wonder]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Gustavo Sorola]

It flicks out a lighter and gives you a thumbs up.

[Blaine Gibson]

What did they say earlier about if they saw Bunlap? They said signs point to yes, yes, yes.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Stars point to yes.

[John Risinger]

But.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Yeah.

[Blaine Gibson]

Atto, would you want to join? Oh, by the way, quick catch up. I've run into some family members. Elva, Neo and Tio. They're in good health. Things are going well. Here are their body parts, you know, as a finger. We've been doing the cute little trade thing. Anytime we run into family members. We'll worry about that later. Let's get you out of this cave eventually. But you and I can do a little trade. That way it's like we have a little piece of each other to continue our journeys. So.

[John Risinger]

Yeah.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah. As you're saying this, something enters your memory banks.

[Chris Damaris]

Oh.

[Gustavo Sorola]

And your vision goes a little wonky. Tol. Your vision changes and you get a little further information. You understand a little bit more about Ada, I should say.

[Blaine Gibson]

Hold on.

[Unknown/Minor Speaker]

Buffering.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Hold on, hold on.

[Chris Damaris]

Buffering.

[John Risinger]

We just see his eyeballs with a little swirly thing of loading.

[Blaine Gibson]

63%.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

70.

[Blaine Gibson]

71, 80, 82, 90, 99, 100. Okay, there it is.

[Unknown/Minor Speaker]

Okay. Okay.

[John Risinger]

You should have buffered on 99 for about 10 minutes.

[Blaine Gibson]

I could tell John was seeing. I didn't want to.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Do you see the last few seconds of reality that you experience, but slightly different. The places where Doug and Gunther are standing are swapped.

[John Risinger]

And this is something that Tolv sees

[Gustavo Sorola]

happen, only Tolve sees. Yeah.

[Blaine Gibson]

So it's from Ada's perspective, and it's.

[Gustavo Sorola]

It's your perspective. Like you're standing there in the same spot, but from what you can see. Doug and Gunther are in different spots. They swaps places. And then you catch back up to reality and you look at them and they're where you remember them being.

[John Risinger]

Okay, could we sense if there's any, like. Like, something in the air or in this, like, area that we are in that might be, like, infecting?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Are you asking if there's something in the air tonight?

[Barbara Dunkelman]

I mean, it's still in my head, guys. I can't shake it.

[Blaine Gibson]

Question to Nadi. Did Gigi put a fridge magnet on the back of my head and I just can't see it back there? I'm feeling a little loopy.

[Natty Wonder]

What is. What is it you.

[Goldenrod]

You.

[Natty Wonder]

You just experienced? Because I don't know what it is that you just experienced.

[Blaine Gibson]

So I just noticed that ad is a little off. And I was looking at Gunther and Doug, and I think that they just swapped places, but then they said swapped back, so I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I don't know what's going on.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Like a glitch almost.

[Goldenrod]

Yeah.

[Chris Damaris]

Was it like we swapped where we were standing or the things that we were.

[Blaine Gibson]

Yeah, you swapped where you were standing. Yes.

[Natty Wonder]

Okay, maybe. Maybe look elsewhere and see if it happens again.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Make a history check for me to.

[Blaine Gibson]

History check. Oh, not bad. 17.

[Chris Damaris]

Am I Doug?

[Gustavo Sorola]

You got the fur on still?

[Barbara Dunkelman]

You wish.

[Gustavo Sorola]

17 on the history check. From tolv. Tol, you recall that Atta was built and designed to predict the future?

[Blaine Gibson]

Oh, okay. Yeah, I share that with the team. So what does that. I mean, are we. There's no fate, but not what we make. What is it? What's those?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah, I think that's it.

[John Risinger]

Well, yeah, because, like, if. If he did that and then we're like, oh, well, then let's switch spots.

[Chris Damaris]

Let us switch spots.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

I guess. I guess so.

[Chris Damaris]

Should we change clothes too?

[Natty Wonder]

Well,

[Barbara Dunkelman]

I don't know if I want to wear your underwear, Gunto.

[Chris Damaris]

Okay, okay.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Just get in your wedding attire. Yeah, you two switch spots, but nothing seems to happen. Tolf, you suspect that maybe it's a slight malfunction on Ada's part. Maybe Ada's not seeing the future correctly. Question mark.

[Natty Wonder]

Maybe Ada's seeing possibilities or just their

[John Risinger]

visions of the future is somehow being manipulated or skewed because of, like some type of malfunction.

[Natty Wonder]

Well, yeah, Yeah, I think that's part. If Ada is a computer, is a robot, and has a computer mind, and ADA was designed to see the future, then what a computer can do is just take all the data that's coming in and make predictions. But that prediction process would. Would involve them making all the predictions and then narrowing it down the most likely one. And so if they're not.

[Chris Damaris]

Hold that thought.

[Blaine Gibson]

Steve Wozniak. Oh, yes. What's going on, Adam?

[Barbara Dunkelman]

I think they have a virus.

[Gustavo Sorola]

It's Giggy's coughing uncontrollably.

[Natty Wonder]

Oh, that's okay. Just give him a second. He'll get out.

[Chris Damaris]

Oh, did you eat more gold?

[Blaine Gibson]

I'll just pass pack him on the back.

[Gustavo Sorola]

He spits up a saliva covered rock.

[John Risinger]

Oh, is it gold?

[Gustavo Sorola]

No, it's just a plain rock.

[John Risinger]

Oh. Cause wasn't he eating all the gold before to keep inside him?

[Natty Wonder]

Normally he don't cough it up. Normally he passes it pretty well.

[Blaine Gibson]

Well, earlier when we were talking to Atta, they started going,

[John Risinger]

could I look at the rock?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah, Doug. By the way, Barbara, we're taking inspiration back to remembering that. That's pretty good.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Also, I think, Gunther, you're also a pretty big expert on rock, so you want to take a look at this with me?

[Chris Damaris]

I do like pebbles.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

You do? But this seems more than a pebble. Yes, Giant pebble.

[Chris Damaris]

It's a big rock.

[Blaine Gibson]

That's a Dwayne Johnson.

[Gustavo Sorola]

You go over and take a look at the rock, and it appears to be like a brownish red rock with almost like a swirling sort of texture.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Kanto, do you Recognize this?

[Chris Damaris]

Do I? Do I? Can I. I don't know. What would be a history or a nature check? Nature. Nature. Okay. 14.

[Blaine Gibson]

Not bad.

[Gustavo Sorola]

You don't recognize it, but it. It does appear to be similar to other rocks in the area in this excavation area. Natty, make me a perception check.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

I have a feeling these rocks are making us sick.

[Natty Wonder]

13 plus 3. 16.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Gigi seems like he's acting kind of weird.

[Natty Wonder]

Gigi, you want to talk to Mama? You want to try tell me what's going on.

[Gustavo Sorola]

He's sitting on the ground with his arms outstretched. It seems like he's trying to reach towards the ceiling.

[Blaine Gibson]

I think he wants uppies, like, directly

[Natty Wonder]

up, because uppies is more like arms towards the person you want.

[Gustavo Sorola]

It's not uppies. He's, like, grabbing at something that you can't see.

[Natty Wonder]

Okay. Natty would look up in that direction to see if she could follow his line of sight.

[Gustavo Sorola]

You follow his line of sight, and there's nothing there. It's just a plain patch of the ceiling.

[Natty Wonder]

Okay, here's what Natty's gonna do. Neddy's gonna pick up Gigi. Is the ceiling. Is this room, like, fairly tall?

[Gustavo Sorola]

No, it's pretty small because it's being excavated out, so it's a pretty low ceiling.

[Natty Wonder]

Give me a height.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Six feet.

[Natty Wonder]

Oh, very, very. So. Okay, well, then I'll just pick him up.

[Gustavo Sorola]

I had mentioned it only in passing, I think, in the previous episode. But these passages are small, like, almost like they were carved for small folk.

[Natty Wonder]

That makes sense. In a mine. Yeah. You don't carve out more than you need.

[Blaine Gibson]

They called it a mine.

[Natty Wonder]

I'll lift him up, see if, like, his hands reach what they're reaching for.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah, he grabs something that you can't see, and it just starts, like, shoveling it into his mouth like he's eating the air.

[Natty Wonder]

Well, is there a chance that Natty could try to touch what it is that, like, he's grabbed? Like, is it tangible to Natty?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah, you reach out there, and it seems to just be air. And as you do that, Gigi begins slapping your hands away.

[Natty Wonder]

Oh, does he just want to eat

[John Risinger]

more of the rock?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Make a. Make me a medicine check, Natty.

[Natty Wonder]

All right, that's another. 13. What's my medicine modifier? Nothing.

[Gustavo Sorola]

13, you think that maybe he's under some kind. He says you think he's seeing things that you can't see? Almost like there's some sort of hallucinogenic effect that he's suffering from.

[Natty Wonder]

Okay. Oh, hold on.

[John Risinger]

Even Though he spat out the rock.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

So maybe if Gigi's seeing something. Tov, maybe you're seeing something.

[Chris Damaris]

And did you eat rock?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Did you eat rock? Did you eat rock? I want that on a shirt.

[Natty Wonder]

I don't know. This is really perplexing. We got Gigi glitching out. We got. We got tolve glitching out. And we got a new robot buddy.

[Chris Damaris]

Gunther eats a rock.

[Gustavo Sorola]

All right, willingly, Gunther, you go and eat the rock.

[Chris Damaris]

I don't normally eat rock.

[Natty Wonder]

Yeah. Cause we're organic creatures.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Am I gonna be the only sober one here and have to take you guys all through, like, your trip?

[Blaine Gibson]

Dee Dee,

[Chris Damaris]

don't hit us with your mushroom glove.

[Gustavo Sorola]

You see your friends in front of you staring at you in disbelief as you eat this rock. Gunther. And you're looking at Ada. Ada looks weird.

[Chris Damaris]

Can I voice what I see?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Let me slack it to you, okay?

[Chris Damaris]

That way they can party, can hear. Oh, guys, I see Atta. They are growing arms. Eight arms like octopus. And uh oh. Uh oh. Oh no. Watch out. There's blood flowing out of the walls. There's blood flowing.

[Unknown/Minor Speaker]

Oh.

[Chris Damaris]

Oh no. Everyone, the blood is everywhere.

[Unknown/Minor Speaker]

Swim.

[Chris Damaris]

Put goggles.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

I think you're hallucinating. You're hallucinating. Gunther, spit the rock out.

[John Risinger]

Doug will try to do the Heimlich maneuver on Gunther trying to get it out.

[Gustavo Sorola]

You grab Gunther, I'll say he. There's no problem because he's a little freaked out right now and begins squeezing at him. And he spits the rock out onto the ground and dribbles around.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Okay, there you go.

[John Risinger]

Cough it up.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Good, good.

[Chris Damaris]

Oh, I was freaking out. Man.

[Unknown/Minor Speaker]

I'm right here.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Don't miss the return of Marvel Television's Daredevil Born Again.

[Blaine Gibson]

So what's next?

[Natty Wonder]

I feel liberated.

[Blaine Gibson]

We're gonna take this city back in

[Gustavo Sorola]

an all new season. Now streaming only on Disney plus. They're hunting us.

[John Risinger]

It's time we started hunting them.

[Chris Damaris]

I can work with them.

[Natty Wonder]

This should be tons of fun.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Marvel Television's Daredevil Born Again now streaming only Disney plus.

[Blaine Gibson]

I sold my car in Carvana last night. Well, that's cool. No, you don't understand.

[Natty Wonder]

It went perfectly.

[Blaine Gibson]

Real offer down to the penny. They're picking it up tomorrow.

[Natty Wonder]

Nothing went wrong.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

So what's the problem?

[Natty Wonder]

That is the problem.

[Blaine Gibson]

Nothing in my life goes as smoothly. I'm waiting for the catch.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Maybe there's no catch.

[Blaine Gibson]

That's exactly what a catch would want me to think.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Wow.

[Carvana Narrator]

You need to relax.

[Blaine Gibson]

I need to knock on wood. Do we have. What is this? Table wood?

[Barbara Dunkelman]

I think it's laminate.

[Blaine Gibson]

Okay.

[Unknown/Minor Speaker]

Yeah, that's good.

[Goldenrod]

That's close enough.

[Carvana Narrator]

Car selling without a catch. Sell your car today on Carvana. Pick up fees may apply.

[Natty Wonder]

So you, you have described like the rocks around this area in that. That a similar like hue description of like reddish, like brownish red and so in. But you said this one, the rock itself had a swirl to it. Is that swirl consistent with other things in the wall or does that rock seem to be different from the rest of the general detritus?

[Gustavo Sorola]

When you see these rocks, they all kind of have that similar kind of texture.

[Natty Wonder]

Okay.

[Gustavo Sorola]

And it's not every rock. It's like, you know, there's different kinds of rocks in the wall and different, you know, ores and veins.

[Natty Wonder]

But it's not. It's not uncommon. It's not uncommon.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Right, okay. It's pretty common.

[John Risinger]

Yeah.

[Natty Wonder]

Hey, Ada? Yeah? I couldn't get. You said ocho a second ago and it broke my brain. Atta.

[Blaine Gibson]

That's their nickname. That's what friends call them.

[Natty Wonder]

Yeah, yeah, that's fine.

[John Risinger]

That's fine.

[Natty Wonder]

It works. Do you perhaps know anything about these rocks? You seem to have spent a lot of time with them.

[John Risinger]

A little too much time if you ask me.

[Chris Damaris]

Wait, wait, wait. One moment. Were you always purple?

[Blaine Gibson]

No, wait. Hi there. It's me, Doug.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yes.

[Chris Damaris]

Why are you green?

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Green?

[Chris Damaris]

I mean, Natty, you're blue. And I don't mean sad, but like literally blue. Why is everyone different colors?

[Blaine Gibson]

I think. I think he's still kind of tripping out. He might have licked himself to add compounding effects.

[Gustavo Sorola]

And Natty, you asked Ada if they knew anything about these rocks or they'd

[Natty Wonder]

seen these rocks, just if they knew anything about them. I know this is a yes and no kind of situation, so we're gonna have to narrow it down.

[Gustavo Sorola]

My reply is null.

[Natty Wonder]

Okay. Okay. We came down this spiral vader and we obviously immediately were interested in these eyes in the wall. Is this a closed off room? Is this the end of the mine? Or is there further corridors out of here?

[Gustavo Sorola]

So is this closed off mine? Are there further corridors out of here?

[Natty Wonder]

Like did we come down the elevator and this is just the room is this. And there's no exits other than going back up the spiral vader?

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Yeah, it is certain.

[Natty Wonder]

I wasn't asking.

[John Risinger]

I like that.

[Natty Wonder]

I was asking Gus this and I got Ada answer.

[Gustavo Sorola]

That's why I was like. That's why I restated your question, to try to shape it into a yes or no.

[Natty Wonder]

Okay, okay, that makes sense.

[Gustavo Sorola]

That way I could have Ada answer.

[Natty Wonder]

Wait, so then what did you say yes to? Because I think I asked more than.

[Gustavo Sorola]

What are we in a close off room? This is the. Yeah, this is the only.

[Natty Wonder]

Okay, okay. Thank you. Broke my brain.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Oh, so there's a little Joe Pesci from Lethal Weapon 2 there. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

[Blaine Gibson]

Can tolve tell if the. I just spit all over my microphone. If the red rocks are what is causing Ada's kind of like dysfunction or if this is a sub. If this is something more to do with their.

[Natty Wonder]

Do we just need to like blow on Ada a lot or maybe just

[John Risinger]

take them out of here?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah, that's a Good question. Also make a medicine check.

[Natty Wonder]

Toll.

[Chris Damaris]

Okay.

[Natty Wonder]

Robot medicine.

[Blaine Gibson]

Robot medicine. 12.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Well, for 12, it's just medicine. You think that it's something. Separate the rocks. Probably have nothing to do with Ada's current state.

[Natty Wonder]

Okay.

[Blaine Gibson]

I think we should Scooby Dee Doo out of here.

[Natty Wonder]

Is. Okay, so Gigi was tripping because Gigi ate that rock.

[John Risinger]

Same with Gunther.

[Natty Wonder]

So we know there's a high chance that these rocks have, like, some sort of psychotropic properties to them. So let's just keep that in mind. Gigi, Gigi only eat. You can eat everything but those rocks. Okay.

[John Risinger]

You get.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

You.

[Natty Wonder]

I don't say no to you in anything.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

But I'm saying I might be worded a little differently.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Make a roll to see if Diggy listens.

[Natty Wonder]

Yeah, I'm gonna make a check. This is. Natty normally doesn't like to say no to her baby. Her perfect angel, her light of her life. We know the guy, the little man who could do no wrong. But, you know, I gotta worry about him having, you know, he's a little young for drugs.

[Blaine Gibson]

He can do a little wrong.

[Natty Wonder]

Dang it. I rolled a two.

[John Risinger]

Brock's going in.

[Natty Wonder]

Yep. All right.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Okay. I'd say that the current rock is out of reach since Gunther spit it out.

[Natty Wonder]

Natty, she takes the leash and does that thing where she wraps around her hand a couple times just to really,

[Blaine Gibson]

like, sharpen the leash maneuver.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah.

[Natty Wonder]

And get a good grip on it. She just knows she's gonna have to pull this child away real fast.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Gigi isn't very receptive to you telling him no, but that's fine. Natty, this might be a prime opportunity for a life lesson with geeky.

[Natty Wonder]

Oh, no. What?

[Gustavo Sorola]

It might help, you know, reinforce that sometimes he has to listen even though he doesn't agree with you or he doesn't want to do. What? You say that sometimes. Maybe Mama knows best for him.

[Natty Wonder]

I'm conflicted because that's not how Natty parents.

[Gustavo Sorola]

But this was a one a time exception. This was a different thing.

[Natty Wonder]

How about this? If Natty doesn't want to tell Gigi what to do necessarily on a regular basis, but Natty wouldn't mind Gigi understanding the effects that certain things can have on him. So then he can make a choice of what he wants to do if he wants to eat the trippy rocks, as long as he understands what they're gonna do to him, you know?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Sure. So this is. Maybe this is a hard lesson.

[Natty Wonder]

A hard lesson.

[Blaine Gibson]

Okay.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Because this is, like you said, this isn't something that's normally necessary in the wheelhouse of how you approach this. It's like, the more you know about, like, taking large amounts of information in and figuring out the consequences, good or bad.

[John Risinger]

Is it possible for Doug to put Gambot next to Gigi so Natty could teach both of them this lesson?

[Natty Wonder]

You can program your little dude. You literally had. You literally made him.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Well, I just feel like a motherly touch would be nice for Gambot.

[Natty Wonder]

All right.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah. We'll do a separate upgrades with Gambot later.

[Natty Wonder]

DC16 Wisdom check.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yes.

[Natty Wonder]

What is Natty's?

[Gustavo Sorola]

This is advanced doomsday philosophy for those keeping track at home.

[Natty Wonder]

Natty has no wisdom modifier plus zero. All right, 16. That has a 13.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Okay.

[Natty Wonder]

Gigi ain't learned anything new today, but he's still perfect.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Gigi goes back to the rock, grabs it, and just holds onto it.

[Blaine Gibson]

Is it kind of like when a child is, like, threatening something where they go, huh?

[Gustavo Sorola]

No, he's just, like, defiantly holding onto it, just like it's his.

[Natty Wonder]

That's fine. That's fine. That's fine with me. Okay, you want that rock? You can have that rock. Okay. Just don't give it a gunther anymore.

[Gustavo Sorola]

I'm gonna say, though, that in order to grab the rock, Gigi is finally gonna drop the ax.

[Goldenrod]

What?

[Gustavo Sorola]

This is now more important to Gigi.

[John Risinger]

You've been holding that the whole time.

[Chris Damaris]

Oh, my goodness.

[Natty Wonder]

And I pick up the ax and I give it to Captain Grumbles so that he has an axe and shield now.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Oh, nice.

[Natty Wonder]

All right, Captain Grumbles, you gotta hold on to that, because I'm pretty sure, if I remember correctly, we're supposed to give that ax back eventually to its owner. So now it's in your career.

[Gustavo Sorola]

And now Captain Grumbles refuses to drop it.

[Natty Wonder]

Rigor mortis has set in.

[Blaine Gibson]

Yeah. From one child to the other.

[John Risinger]

His arm is straight out, just holding it.

[Unknown/Minor Speaker]

Yeah.

[Chris Damaris]

Before we go, could Gunther collect a couple more of those rocks just to these addicted guys?

[Gustavo Sorola]

You absolutely can. But just so you know, Kris, Gunther, they're everywhere. They're a common stone. You've seen them in every room in the mine you've been in.

[Chris Damaris]

Okay, well, yeah, I'll just take a couple. Not for me. It's for a friend. Sure.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Okay. Yeah. Grab a couple rocks and hold onto them. As you were picking up these rocks, Gunther, one rock in particular stands out. It's slightly different than all the other rocks.

[Chris Damaris]

Oh.

[Gustavo Sorola]

It's an unusually smooth stone, and it feels out of Place compared to every other rock you've seen here. Everything else is very rough, you know. It's all been excavated. This one is very smooth. And it's got names etched into it. Croak folk names etched into it. The names of those who have fallen in battle.

[Chris Damaris]

Oh, do I recognize them? The names?

[Gustavo Sorola]

You don't recognize the names necessarily. But you do know that this is a tradition over from Bygone Grotto in Fly Flats.

[John Risinger]

Is it maybe something that Bunlap had on him that he dropped?

[Chris Damaris]

It must have.

[Gustavo Sorola]

You can. If you want to read some of the names. You can read some of the names.

[Chris Damaris]

Yes. I will honor them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. But are you gonna slack them to me or.

[Gustavo Sorola]

No, no, it's. You make them up.

[Chris Damaris]

Oh. Oh, yeah.

[Gustavo Sorola]

That's why I was like.

[Unknown/Minor Speaker]

It's up to you.

[Chris Damaris]

No, no.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Chris Damaris]

Yes, yes. Slonker.

[Blaine Gibson]

Slonker. Yes.

[John Risinger]

Slonker.

[Chris Damaris]

Yes. And then Slonker and Puddle Whack. Oh, Puddlewack.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Was Puddle Whack killed by a gloggle? No, no, no.

[Chris Damaris]

It was a great tragedy. Poodle whack. What happened is he was out and there was a construction error and he was crushed while just in the walking around.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Tragic. Tragic.

[Chris Damaris]

And then Pickles.

[Blaine Gibson]

Pickles, yes. Who could forget Pickles?

[Chris Damaris]

I honor them all.

[Blaine Gibson]

Just the three?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Well, no, I can.

[Chris Damaris]

I'll continue.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Is. Is Peaches on there?

[Barbara Dunkelman]

I think I see at least seven.

[Chris Damaris]

Count Con.

[Blaine Gibson]

Count. He was a count

[Gustavo Sorola]

cow.

[Chris Damaris]

Cal.

[Blaine Gibson]

I'm writing these. I don't know why I'm writing these down.

[John Risinger]

I can hear typing.

[Natty Wonder]

I can hear so much typing.

[Blaine Gibson]

It's important people.

[Chris Damaris]

And then. And then, of course, Harriet Har.

[Natty Wonder]

Yes, I heard she was a spy.

[Blaine Gibson]

Yep, There it is, spelled with a

[Chris Damaris]

Z. I'm glad you're writing down, because I wasn't. And I'm.

[Blaine Gibson]

I. I got it. I got it.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Well, may they rest in peace.

[Chris Damaris]

Yes, they have gone now to give themselves to the Wilderflower.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Should we maybe take this rock and give it back to Bunlap when we find him? I could give it to him.

[Unknown/Minor Speaker]

Okay.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Cause, you know, I think he might be really thankful that, you know, someone found it. And maybe he'll give them a hug.

[Natty Wonder]

He wants to give a gift to the hot frog.

[Gustavo Sorola]

I was wondering what the angle was.

[Natty Wonder]

He wants Bunlap to like him.

[John Risinger]

Listen, you can't take Bart out of me. Ever.

[Gustavo Sorola]

That's really funny.

[Natty Wonder]

Well, I think what we have ahead of us is a couple of options, but the main ones, we gotta go back up because There ain't nowhere else we can go down here. We can go back up to the level where we met our good friend Kleiner. Honestly, Blaine's joke has helped me remind. Remind me of that guy's name. Recliner.

[John Risinger]

Kleiner.

[Natty Wonder]

Kleiner. And there was a. There was a path there that we hadn't explored yet. So maybe we could exhaust that before we go up. Up to the cape. What y' all say about that?

[Blaine Gibson]

I'm super diggity down. Ada, do you want to join us?

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Not likely.

[Natty Wonder]

Oh, I haven't had had enough to.

[Blaine Gibson]

Well, that's too bad, because I need to get you to the surface to make sure you're safe.

[Natty Wonder]

Ada. Okay.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Error. Error. Error.

[Natty Wonder]

Wait. Ada, do you want to stay down here in this hole?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Some say yes, some say no.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

How very insightful.

[Blaine Gibson]

Ada, you're so quirky. Oh, my God, what a hoot and a holler.

[Natty Wonder]

Adda, do you want to leave this hole, but not with us? Like you got other plans?

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Most likely.

[Natty Wonder]

Okay, okay, okay, I get it.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

You.

[Natty Wonder]

You know, we all need our alone time. We all got our own thing, things to do. Tove, did you do a swappy already?

[Blaine Gibson]

No, I guess Aja, you know, that's. If that's your thing, I guess we freed you. I know you're very capable of handling yourself. So is it cool with you if we swapped components? That way, when you see our, you know, brothers and sisters and siblings, they'll know we encountered each other and I can show off. Proof of life it is.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Surgeon.

[Blaine Gibson]

Oh, big hug. Big hug.

[Gustavo Sorola]

What.

[Blaine Gibson]

What components are there on Ada?

[Chris Damaris]

I'm trying to think of.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Oh, I saw John pantomiming over there. Chris, I don't know what's wrong with you.

[Chris Damaris]

Well, your butt cheek is round,

[Unknown/Minor Speaker]

but

[Gustavo Sorola]

John's pantomiming to his eye.

[Blaine Gibson]

Yeah, I'd be down for that. Ada, are you comfortable with that? If we switch ocular components.

[Carvana Narrator]

Cool.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

I don't remember that one on a Magic 8 ball.

[Natty Wonder]

That one, I laughed and I farted a little bit. I'm gonna let you know.

[John Risinger]

You John or Natty?

[Natty Wonder]

That was John. That was John saying, I laughed last and I farted.

[Blaine Gibson]

Gigi, you want to see something crazy?

[John Risinger]

Okay.

[Goldenrod]

All right.

[Blaine Gibson]

I take off the Bjorn mask and I remove it. Gigi begins clapping, and I remove an eyeball.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Which one?

[Blaine Gibson]

My right one.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Okay.

[Natty Wonder]

Gigi starts reaching for the left one.

[John Risinger]

I was gonna say he's gonna try

[Barbara Dunkelman]

to eat that eyeball.

[Blaine Gibson]

I push them away.

[Gustavo Sorola]

If Gigi's hands weren't full with rock, right now maybe he would be doing that. All right, so you pull your right eye out and swap it with Addo.

[Natty Wonder]

Yeah.

[Gustavo Sorola]

All right, so yeah, now you've got a blue sapphire eye in your right eye.

[Natty Wonder]

You got some heterochromia.

[Blaine Gibson]

Cool.

[Chris Damaris]

An eye for an eye.

[Blaine Gibson]

But like the good kind, like it's cool. Yeah.

[John Risinger]

All right.

[Blaine Gibson]

Anyways, okay, well, I give Ada one big hug and then I also relay where Elva, Neo and Tio are. That way if they want to regroup with them. And I wish them safe passage. Good luck on your journeys. No more getting caught in any more caves. Okay, Ada?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yes, definitely.

[Blaine Gibson]

Okay. All right, carry on. See you later, pal.

[Chris Damaris]

Let's rock and roll. Cause there are rocks in ATA rolls.

[Gustavo Sorola]

That's pretty good.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

You like that? That was a whole like a really stacked pun that you had there, Gunther. It was so multi level.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah, nice, nice. All right, what's the plan here?

[Natty Wonder]

What are we doing back up to Kleiner level?

[Chris Damaris]

Does it go down deeper?

[John Risinger]

But there's no other places down here because we were told, or it was hinted at that he was. Or Bunlop was seen down here, but I guess he could have easily gone somewhere else or upwards. So.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah, there are no other exits other than the Spiral Vader to go back up.

[Chris Damaris]

I guess we technically asked, should we go up or down? And they said down, but that meant maybe we should go down to help Addo.

[John Risinger]

Or does he? Yeah, maybe that's where he had saw Bunlap at one point and then.

[Natty Wonder]

No, no, Kleiner didn't know. To be very clear, Kleina didn't know where Bunlap went.

[Chris Damaris]

Guys, I miss Kleiner.

[Natty Wonder]

We asked Augury and Augury was like,

[John Risinger]

yes, right, my bad.

[Natty Wonder]

That's fine. Just want to clarify, when I can see confusion happen, I'm like, let's unravel this, let's unravel this.

[John Risinger]

Let's head it off.

[Gustavo Sorola]

And in Augury's defense, you did find evidence of Bundlap being here too.

[Chris Damaris]

That's true.

[John Risinger]

Yeah.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

I got your rock.

[Gustavo Sorola]

All right, so what order are you guys going back up to Spiral Vader? Is it the same?

[Chris Damaris]

Sure.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Okay. Yeah. So we got Tolve and Gunther first, then Captain Grumbles and Gigi and then. Thank you, Natty and Doug.

[Blaine Gibson]

Have you guys noticed how fortunate it is whenever I encounter a sibling, it's in numerical order going backwards. Isn't that fun? Isn't that cool?

[Gustavo Sorola]

The universe is a weird place, isn't it?

[Blaine Gibson]

Yes, it is.

[John Risinger]

What does Alta mean?

[Natty Wonder]

Eight. Ada's eight.

[John Risinger]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[Blaine Gibson]

Yeah. So far we've had Elva, Neo, Tio, and now Ada. I love when we meet tall siblings. That's my favorite.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Well, also Barb. It plays into the whole eight ball thing.

[John Risinger]

Yeah, yeah. It's. Sometimes Barbara operates at a slower speed. Certain days. That's one of today's first. I had it in my head that Addo was one for some reason. I don't know why. It seemed like a very one number.

[Blaine Gibson]

That's Ed. You'll run into Ed later. They're a hoot and a holler.

[Gustavo Sorola]

You all get back up to the. I guess what you would call the main level of Spiral Vader. The middle level of the Spiral Vader, and you reconvene there. The body of Kleine is still there. Doug. I don't know what it is. You're getting kind of peckish, a little hungry.

[John Risinger]

Oh, what else is new?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Maybe it's all these. These people eating rocks. Should Doug eat a rock?

[Natty Wonder]

Do you want the rock as a meat grinder?

[Barbara Dunkelman]

You're a bad influence right now on me, Gunter. I saw what it did to you, but that is looking quite delectable.

[Chris Damaris]

Maybe I just had a bad one. These are different rocks.

[Gustavo Sorola]

I mean, you don't have to eat a rock, but I mean. Rocks, Right.

[John Risinger]

Can I just pick it up and just give it a little lick?

[Goldenrod]

Sure.

[Blaine Gibson]

The hitch of this, man. Go ahead.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

I just want you to. Just a little.

[Unknown/Minor Speaker]

Just.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

I mean, what bad could a little. Just a little taste do?

[Chris Damaris]

Yeah, well, there might be blood on the walls.

[Natty Wonder]

Well,

[Barbara Dunkelman]

I'll try not to take one of those rocks.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Take the rock from Gunther and hold it and regard it. And you give it a try.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

For science, right?

[Natty Wonder]

Of course, for science.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Yeah. I'm experimenting.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Your vision changes.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Oh, guys, I don't feel so good. Is the room swirling and changing for anyone else? And is that snow? I thought we were underground. That doesn't make any sense. It couldn't be snowing in here. It's all over the ground now. Trees are spouting up.

[Chris Damaris]

Oh, trees are nice.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Oh, my. Oh, and they're so tall. They're reaching the sky. These are really big trees. I feel really small right now, and that's a rarity. Guys, I don't feel. Is anyone here?

[Chris Damaris]

All right. We are here.

[Blaine Gibson]

Doug.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Am I. Am I here? I think I'm disappearing.

[Chris Damaris]

Doug, you're. No, you're here.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Did I accidentally take my gaseous form potion again?

[Chris Damaris]

Oh, no. Oh, Doug.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

I think I'm floating away. Guys. Someone hold on to me.

[Blaine Gibson]

I get in Doug's face and go, nightmare, nightmare, nightmare.

[Natty Wonder]

Cut to reality, and Natty is just holding Doug's hand and, like, walking along with him. And he's just, like, saying all this as his head is, like, rolling around everywhere.

[Blaine Gibson]

They're getting dragged along the floor.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Yeah, yeah, you're holding me. I. I think I missed.

[Natty Wonder]

I got you. I got you, buddy. I got you. It's just going. You're gonna ride this out.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Okay.

[Chris Damaris]

I'm gonna perform a procedure that you might find uncomfortable.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

No, I'm back. I'm good.

[Chris Damaris]

Oh, you are?

[Blaine Gibson]

Okay.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Sorry. I sensed you were about to give me mouth to mouth.

[Chris Damaris]

It was not mouth to mouth.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Oh, well, actually. Okay, let's see what it was.

[Natty Wonder]

The danger was not worth it.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Get one left to do the mouth to mouth. Quick.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Okay, I think. I think I'm okay, but I mean, ganjo. If you want to try it, you're gonna try it.

[Chris Damaris]

Well, I don't. No, not if you don't need. If the rock has passed, then I will not do it.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

That was kind of cool. Not gonna lie.

[Natty Wonder]

Weird show.

[Blaine Gibson]

Could we.

[Natty Wonder]

Since we're now at level lobby, can we go to just see what that passageway leads to? To the east.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Okay. Yeah. You look to the corridor to the east, and it appears to be an excavated corridor that's well finished. It's a high ceiling, and it's exceptionally warm and moist. There's an old wooden ladder leaning against the wall, and it leads to the sound of scampering footsteps and some kind of clicking.

[Blaine Gibson]

Tell us more about this ladder. Is it like a diagonal ladder or Uppy Downy's ladder?

[Gustavo Sorola]

No, no, it's just. It is no diagonal ladder. Diagonal stairs. What was the. What was the thing?

[Blaine Gibson]

It was a diagonal ladder.

[Chris Damaris]

Diagonal.

[Natty Wonder]

It was a ladder. He was saying that he walked down a diagonal ladder with a bow in hand.

[Blaine Gibson]

And you go, diagonal ladder?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yes.

[Chris Damaris]

You mean stairs.

[Blaine Gibson]

No, diagonal ladder.

[Gustavo Sorola]

You pass through into the next room and you find yourself in a great

[Natty Wonder]

hall via the ladder or past the ladder.

[Gustavo Sorola]

You find it past the ladder.

[Natty Wonder]

Okay. So above the ladder, we heard skittering past the ladder into a great hall?

[Gustavo Sorola]

No, past the ladder, you hear the skittering.

[Natty Wonder]

Okay, thank you.

[Gustavo Sorola]

It's just the ladder's leading there by the corridor. You pass the ladder into the great hall and you hear the scampering of footsteps and the occasional clicking sound. It's a painting of sparse treasure vault hanging on the west wall and a painting of the saline sea leaning on the east wall. And a fishing rod Handle dangles from the fishing line that disappears into the vaulted ceiling. Some of those Goliaths you met earlier frantically come and go in and out of the hall.

[Natty Wonder]

Seemed like a. Like a gathering place with a bunch of stuff that they've stacked up in here?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Maybe.

[John Risinger]

Yeah.

[Blaine Gibson]

Is this an alternate entrance into the great hall that we saw that Natty did the whole deception thing to the. The Hungarians?

[Gustavo Sorola]

No, that was a banquet hall.

[Natty Wonder]

Oh, silly me.

[Blaine Gibson]

I'm so trash person.

[Chris Damaris]

This is like a mediocre hall.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Out of this room, you see for the exits, of course. There's the corridor you came through. There's a tunnel to the east and what appears to be a water slide in the northwest.

[Chris Damaris]

Wow. Tunnel to the east. Water slides.

[Natty Wonder]

Okay.

[Chris Damaris]

Okay. Go up. The Goliaths that are there.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah.

[Chris Damaris]

Are they the ones we saw before? Are they new ones?

[Gustavo Sorola]

This is not the one you saw before?

[Goldenrod]

Oh, man.

[Chris Damaris]

I was hoping to. Sleepy Z. Hello.

[Gustavo Sorola]

One of them stops and looks at you and says, what? What are you doing here? Yes, are you here to take our gold?

[Chris Damaris]

Not at all. We are here to help you find your leader, Belder.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Belder? How do you know about Belder?

[Chris Damaris]

Well, because we're. You're here to help find them. That's how I know. I could not find someone that did not know who I was looking for. I was wondering, have you. Have you seen a frog that somewhat looks like me?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Why don't you make me a deception check to lead that off there, Chris?

[Blaine Gibson]

He uses somewhat very liberally, because, I mean, it's night and day. I mean, this other frog.

[Unknown/Minor Speaker]

Wow.

[Chris Damaris]

10 out of 10.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Yeah. You would remember this one.

[Chris Damaris]

Trust me. 11.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Oh, no, I don't think you're here for Belder. I think you're here looking for that frog.

[Chris Damaris]

Well, the frog might know where Belder is, so that's. So I'm trying to find the frog. Too thin.

[Gustavo Sorola]

I love the circular logic from Gunther. Chris, make me a luck check. Let's call it a luck check. Roll me a D20.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Another luck check.

[Chris Damaris]

Luck, luck.

[Blaine Gibson]

Also, if you met this frog, you

[Gustavo Sorola]

would want to be looking for them as well. Trust me.

[Chris Damaris]

Ooh, 17. Very lucky.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Oh, looks like you, but way more handsome.

[Chris Damaris]

Exactly.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Glad we're on the same page here.

[Blaine Gibson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Gustavo Sorola]

The last I heard, he was upstairs somewhere in the keep. He's staying away from our gold. As you would be wise to as well.

[Chris Damaris]

For sure.

[Gustavo Sorola]

And.

[Chris Damaris]

And do you know who took Beldar?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Well, no, we're. If we knew that, we'd be able to find Belder that's fair.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

That's a good point.

[Gustavo Sorola]

But you're here to find Belder, so you say wink.

[Chris Damaris]

Yeah, well, indirectly.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yes, indirectly.

[Chris Damaris]

Anyone else have any questions for. What was your name?

[Gustavo Sorola]

The name's Rooster. What's your name?

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Chase.

[Gustavo Sorola]

The name's Rooster Cockfeather, which seems a little. We're gonna go with Rooster.

[Chris Damaris]

Yeah. Gunther.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Gunther. Friends of Sleepy Z. Oh, you know Sleepy Z?

[Chris Damaris]

Yeah. Oh, I say more like acquaintances.

[Gustavo Sorola]

What's he up to? Is he sleeping?

[Chris Damaris]

Probably.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Oh, you know Sleepy Z. He gives you a fist. He puts out his fist for a fist bump.

[Chris Damaris]

I do it and it knocks.

[Natty Wonder]

Hey, what's. What's that for? Natty points to that. The fish hook.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Oh, that's very important to us gold chasers, you see, that allows us to summon the goldenrod.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Skull chasers.

[Gustavo Sorola]

You said gold chasers.

[Chris Damaris]

Gold chasers. I heard.

[Natty Wonder]

Isn't that like a. A weed?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Is it goldenrod?

[Natty Wonder]

Yeah, it's a weed.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Oh, I thought gold. I thought you were asking gold chaser. No, no, no, no. That summons the goldenrod.

[Natty Wonder]

Yeah, that didn't answer my question. Is that a weed? Is that's a person's name?

[Unknown/Minor Speaker]

Oh.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Oh, I see. I thought that was John making a comment that goldenrod was a weed. Totally misunderstood.

[Unknown/Minor Speaker]

You don't.

[Gustavo Sorola]

You don't know of the goldenrod?

[Natty Wonder]

Oh.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Oh, you're in. You're in for a treat. That's a very important deity to us, God.

[Natty Wonder]

Just popping up everywhere like weeds.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Yeah.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Not that you're looking at it. You can see this fishing rod, like the handle that's dangling from a fishing line that disappears into the ceiling. And the rod itself. Now that he says that, you realize the rod is made of solid gold

[John Risinger]

and it's going up.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah. The fishing line disappears into the ceiling. And occasionally, as you're looking at it, the rod whirs and zips and clicks and makes noises.

[Chris Damaris]

This is an actual physical thing that's in front of us.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah, it's hanging from the ceiling.

[Blaine Gibson]

So there's a painting of it. And then there's also the physical rod itself.

[Gustavo Sorola]

So there are two different paintings. There is a painting of a sparse treasure vault hanging on the west wall, and there's a painting of the sleet sea leaning up against the east wall. The fishing rod handle is dangling from a fishing line that disappears into the ceiling. So there's a painting on the west wall, painting on the east wall.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Got it.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Fishing rod dangling from the ceiling.

[Natty Wonder]

So, Rooster, what would happen if I pulled that rod?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Well, if you reel it in, you would summon the goldenrod.

[Natty Wonder]

Am I allowed to do that? Because I'm quite curious.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Well, that's up to you. Don't you know it would be wise to not wait the goldenrod's time?

[Natty Wonder]

Well, I'm not a time waster. That's very presumptuous of you to think that my time is a waste of their time.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Well, you all are wasting my time right now.

[Natty Wonder]

And we've reached the point where Gus

[Blaine Gibson]

bleeds into the character. You know, I think we should meet this here goldenrod character. We have a friend who is in the market for a new deity. It would be great.

[Chris Damaris]

I was gonna say maybe you guys meet this golden rod, and I'll just kind of hang back. I don't want to give the wrong impression.

[Blaine Gibson]

No, no, no, no. I have the sea drinker. Me and the sea drinker are like besties. Oh, my God, the best. So, like, I. I think you would be cool if, you know, God out there met a new deity.

[Chris Damaris]

I don't know if. I don't know if Wilder Flower would like that.

[Blaine Gibson]

Wilder Flower's not here to see anything.

[Chris Damaris]

They will see it. They know.

[Blaine Gibson]

No, they're fine. You're fine. Go ahead. Okay.

[Natty Wonder]

Okay, let's go.

[Blaine Gibson]

The goldenrod. Give me goldenrod.

[Natty Wonder]

Natty jumps up and starts reeling it in.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Okay. Rooster sees you start reeling it in, and he makes himself busy walking to and fro, doing various things in the room. You can begin reeling in the reel, and it's like you're reeling in a fish. It gives you a little bit of fight, but eventually you're able to get it in.

[Natty Wonder]

It's okay. I played a lot of Stardew Valley. I got this.

[Blaine Gibson]

Is there, like a meter that you have to press?

[Unknown/Minor Speaker]

Yeah.

[Natty Wonder]

Oh, a little treasure chest showed up. I gotta get that too.

[Chris Damaris]

Let me see.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Uh.

[Blaine Gibson]

Oh.

[John Risinger]

Every game's fishing mechanic is different. It's so funny.

[Gustavo Sorola]

It took me a long time to get the one on Stardew. Figured out I was terrible at it for a long time.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Same.

[Gustavo Sorola]

You eventually reel it far enough, and out from the ceiling pops a tiny fish with its mouth hooked by a floating golden rod.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Is that the golden.

[Natty Wonder]

Howdy.

[Goldenrod]

Why do you thumb in the. The golden rod?

[Natty Wonder]

I'm already a fan of you, I gotta say that.

[Goldenrod]

Well, of course you are.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Wow. Are you talking like that cause you got the rod or like the. The hook in your mouth, or is that just the way you talk?

[Goldenrod]

I'm a little tongue tied at the moment.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Need some help down there?

[John Risinger]

Could I unhook them from the hook.

[Goldenrod]

No, no.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Oh.

[Goldenrod]

Thou shalt not touch the Golden Rod.

[Blaine Gibson]

Oh, it's chill. Hey, Goldenrod. My name is Tov. This is my friend. Have you met my friend Gunther?

[Chris Damaris]

No, I'm Nonther.

[Blaine Gibson]

No, his name's Gunther. Don't, don't.

[Natty Wonder]

He's.

[Blaine Gibson]

He's real shy. Goldenrod, you should meet my friend.

[Goldenrod]

Pleasure to meet you, Gunther. Nonther.

[Chris Damaris]

I don't care. It's not a pleasure to me, you, displeasure.

[Goldenrod]

You are not my patrons. Why do you summon the Golden Wrath?

[Chris Damaris]

That is for sure.

[Gustavo Sorola]

I guess the Golden Rod would look at you, natty. You have the Rod in your hands.

[Natty Wonder]

Just like waiting for these two kids. So you might have. You're probably familiar with. You seem to be one of the great gods, right? Like really important God. Yeah, I'm getting that vibe off of you. It's wafting off of you.

[Goldenrod]

None are greater than the Golden Rod. There you go.

[Natty Wonder]

There you go. We're in the presence of something amazing. Praise be to the Goldenrod.

[Goldenrod]

No.

[Natty Wonder]

So you ever met the steed?

[Goldenrod]

The silent steed?

[Natty Wonder]

The silent steed. Thank you very much.

[Goldenrod]

We run in similar circles.

[Natty Wonder]

Oh, do you? So in what way? That makes me curious.

[Goldenrod]

We are work acquaintances.

[Natty Wonder]

Well, I'm. That's my wife. And so I just wanted to kind of make that connection. So, you know, I'm not just a rando. You're right. I'm not your patron. But I ain't just. I ain't just anybody, you know? So we can maybe have a little

[Goldenrod]

bit of a conversation Regarding.

[Natty Wonder]

Do you know of the Wilder Shield? It's a very important artifact that's involved with the Wilderflower. A lesser God will say, why Dots?

[Goldenrod]

Hey, the Wilderfield. That seems like something you would talk to the Chimera about.

[Natty Wonder]

Is the Chimera. Another God demigod creature? Bartender.

[Goldenrod]

The Chimera is a creature you will find here in Chimera Keep.

[Chris Damaris]

I have a question. How many toes does Chimera have?

[Goldenrod]

Oh, one of those guys, huh? The Chimera has 17 toes.

[Chris Damaris]

17.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Is he also purple by any chance?

[Goldenrod]

No, the Chimera is not purple.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Okay, why.

[Natty Wonder]

Why are you asking purple, Gunther?

[Barbara Dunkelman]

I don't. I don't think it's the guy you're looking for.

[Natty Wonder]

Oh, oh, oh, okay. And Chimera? What, up in their keep right now? Not down here in this mine area wandering around? Okay, okay, wait. Okay.

[Blaine Gibson]

The 11 toed person that Gunther's looking for is also purple.

[Natty Wonder]

I believe he said he was purple feet.

[Blaine Gibson]

Have we considered that they might have been stomping grapes right before the murders. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

[Natty Wonder]

Okay, so why. Why does the Chimera. What's the association with the Chimera and the Wilder Shield? Cause you're not the first person who said that.

[Goldenrod]

I care not for the wildly field. I care for gold. Perhaps the Chimera who spends time in the keep will know more of what you see.

[Natty Wonder]

Okay, well, final question. You doing okay?

[Goldenrod]

Oh, you know, it's not too bad.

[Natty Wonder]

Yeah, it's been pretty good.

[Goldenrod]

You know, just hanging out and.

[Natty Wonder]

This isn't uncomfortable? This is like your thing, like, as a piercing that you're cool with.

[Goldenrod]

This is very goldenrod. Okay.

[Natty Wonder]

And you're the goldenrod as well?

[Goldenrod]

Yes.

[Chris Damaris]

Do you eat gold?

[Goldenrod]

No.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Oh, okay.

[John Risinger]

Okay.

[Natty Wonder]

Well, Natty would, like, flick would, like, hold a gold coin. He's like, may I pay tribute? May I pay tribute.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Oh, that's interesting. So you want to.

[Natty Wonder]

I want to leave on good terms.

[Gustavo Sorola]

So you want to give a piece of gold to the golden rod?

[Natty Wonder]

Yeah, they said they lack gold.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Okay.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Gold.

[Natty Wonder]

That's exactly where my brain went.

[Blaine Gibson]

Blaine,

[Gustavo Sorola]

how much are you giving?

[Natty Wonder]

I don't have a lot. See, I gave it all. 11 gold.

[Gustavo Sorola]

You give 11 gold. So you like Natty?

[Natty Wonder]

Natty, this is why we are always

[Blaine Gibson]

having to lend you money.

[Chris Damaris]

Saving up for marriage.

[Blaine Gibson]

Yeah. Think of the wedding.

[Chris Damaris]

Good Lord. You're inviting everyone.

[Natty Wonder]

You guys keep worrying about it. You do understand that my wife is the God of death. She's got resources.

[Blaine Gibson]

More like your sugar mama. I mean, come on.

[Chris Damaris]

Should we invite Rooster and Sleepy Z and Razzle Bear?

[Natty Wonder]

Oh, hey, Goldenrod, do you want to come to my wedding?

[Blaine Gibson]

Oh, my gosh.

[Goldenrod]

Oh, yes, Absolutely.

[Blaine Gibson]

Oh, great.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

She's inviting everybody now. I feel, like, special.

[Chris Damaris]

No, I dismiss.

[Natty Wonder]

Ignore them. Ignore them.

[Blaine Gibson]

Okay.

[Chris Damaris]

Bring a good gift.

[Natty Wonder]

And So I give 11 gold to the goldenrod. I say. I say it's not much, but it's all I have, so it's a lot to me.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Okay. Yeah. You present the gold, the 11 piece of gold, to the golden rod, and with a flick, he tosses it over to the painting of the vault.

[Natty Wonder]

Oh, this is like a Mario situation.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Kind of, yeah.

[Chris Damaris]

What's in the other painting? It's an ocean or something.

[Gustavo Sorola]

The Sleen sea. Sleen. Yeah. S apostrophe, L, E, E, N. Well,

[Natty Wonder]

Natty would turn around to her party and be like, is there anything else you guys need to say? Goldenrod, are we good here?

[Barbara Dunkelman]

I'm good.

[Blaine Gibson]

Gunther, anything to say?

[Chris Damaris]

Say not. It was a Dis by.

[Blaine Gibson]

We're gonna work on that.

[John Risinger]

Okay.

[Blaine Gibson]

Thank you, goldenrod.

[Gustavo Sorola]

All four of you make me a perception check.

[Blaine Gibson]

16.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

21.

[Natty Wonder]

Nah, 20 for a 23.

[John Risinger]

Wow.

[Chris Damaris]

5. I think Gunther's. Gunther's avoiding eye gaze because he doesn't want, like.

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah, you're, like, looking down at your feet. Yeah. The golden rod kind of dives back into the ceiling and disappears. And as you, you know, you're looking at the golden rod disappearing back into the ceiling. Everyone except Gunther. There's some motion in the water slide that catches your attention. You see almost like a reflective image in the water, a beast of some

[Natty Wonder]

kind looking at you in the water at the bottom of the water slide or the water, like, rushing through the water slide.

[Gustavo Sorola]

The water rushing through the water slide.

[John Risinger]

Could I go up and take a closer look?

[Gustavo Sorola]

Yeah, you go up. And as you're approaching it, the beast begins, like, pacing back and forth, and then it slowly steps out from the water before you. And it appears to be like a large fusion of three different beasts made up of some kind of multifaceted glass.

[Blaine Gibson]

Oh, the chimera.

[Gustavo Sorola]

It's three headed, two winged, and one tailed. And it looks at you. Doug locks eyes with you and with all of its heads, lets out a cacophonous, hideous animal.

[Goldenrod]

Roar.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Down, kitty.

[Natty Wonder]

Say hi back. That might just be the way they greet people.

[Gustavo Sorola]

All right, Find out if that's the way they greet people or not. On the next episode of Tales from the Stinky Dragon. I'm gonna think that's not.

[Natty Wonder]

Aw.

[John Risinger]

I guess Ocho does mean eight.

[Natty Wonder]

She's catching up from the last hour.

[Blaine Gibson]

What's funny? She has like really good memory. So you're like recalling everything we've said to them? Yeah, all the signs were there.

[John Risinger]

It's like Memento. It's all making sense.

[Natty Wonder]

Wait, I. I don't want to be that guy. But it's the opposite of Memento. Because he doesn't remember anything in that

[John Risinger]

movie except all the photos.

[Natty Wonder]

Those.

[John Risinger]

Yeah, they connect all the dots.

[Natty Wonder]

Did you watch Memento recently or something?

[John Risinger]

No, it's. It's probably been two decades since I've seen that movie.

[Natty Wonder]

I was going to say that's. That's an old movie.

[Chris Damaris]

Don't believe his lies.

[Barbara Dunkelman]

Don't believe his lies.
