Again. Hello everyone, Welcome back to Isakai does his Dragons episode thirty three.
I'm pretty sure it's thirty three. That's what I put on the stream
thing three three representing the best number. It's not. I'm here with the
Shark Daniel Green, he's standing up. I'm here with I'm here with Norman
Briggs. I'm getting over a cold, so it's gonna be extra easy to
do Norman's voice. Oh perfect. I'm here with Cody Suavity. Hey,
it's me Cody, and I'm here with Teching one oh one. Anthony.
I don't know. Anthony talks with a non coastal accent. I don't really
have a voice for him, but he just talks like this. And where
we left off, our adventurers had found the location of the Bard holy site,
the Bard Tower for Hatchiko, and they discovered that they needed a key
to enter the chamber that's in the shape of a heart that was stolen ages
ago by a sand giant in the desert, and they are now on their
way to the sand I was going to cut off for a cut in for
a bad joke. Anthony kind of sounds like my favorite YouTuber that lives in
Pennsylvania. The real Yeah, well you two it thought it all Toldy and
will You're weird. I hear that a lot actually is canonical, that Norman's
favorite YouTuber is teching. Oh well, it's Cannon. That Norman's watched one
piece. Yes, so it's very likely. I feel like you would at
least know who you are. Okay, let's be realistic. Norman is an
uncomfortable nerd who doesn't go outside much. He's clearly a fan of me,
all right, Anthony. Anthony's from the year twenty fifty, So I don't
know if i'd still be making YouTube videos at that point. I don't know
if i'd be fifty seven. I don't know if I'm well maybe, but
but Briggs, you said probably you Norman's your character, you could defit into.
Yes, yes, he's definitely watched him. I just don't know if
it's I guess you're you're one of Norman's favorites. I'll say the characters take
on a life of their own rustage. I don't know what, like old
Tony always thought. Okay, does Norman have his like top five or like
a tear list of the YouTubers he watches? Yes, not lazy top of
my head, all right, because she just so happens to love Thank you
one on one. Rustedge Schwabty and Dandiel Green. Those are those are some
old names. Oh Mark the Schwabty. Oh man, he's the greatest nerd
core artist ever where I'm He's top of the charts right out that hack Rusted
you fell off so fast. I don't know. He does not even know
Rusted his name. Anthony doesn't even know. I don't know who that is.
I've never heard of him. I'm just kidding. Norman just watches like
v tubers that are like half animal best after the anime, after the One
Piece Riots anime became global and nerdcore just went through the roof, and then
you know, so Mark just really took off. Yeah. I believe Anthony
canonically gets to watch all of One Piece live action if he wants to,
motherfucker. Yeah, oh live action. Yeah, we're up to like season
twelve right now? Pretty good? Or is Anthony from twenty fifty is when
he got Essai. Okay, so it takes me until like I'm fifty five
years old, but eventually I know, canonically the One Piece Riots occurred in
twenty twenty nine, So in like early twenty thirties is when you start selling
sold out crowds. Wait, does does he make like a wrap about the
end of one piece? That's like, I don't know, Mark, I
don't one pie I made, I made. I made a song protesting the
riots he brought. He was the glue that brought his back together at is
it what Loofy would have wanted? Guys? The word? He made a
video about it, made a YouTube video. It got the most popular.
It was born than Gangham style or baby Shark. It just exploded. It
brought the world together into one. Now in twenty fifty. By the year
twenty fifty, Mark, you're kind of like an old school rapper at this
point because it's been like twenty years, but you're still you're still selling out
places. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're at that point.
Yeah. Where is Where is Rustage buried? That's just what I want to
know. I don't know who the rustage guy is personally, I don't know.
There's this like a tombstone that like a dog piece on a lot.
Anthony was born actually in twenty twenty three. It was like two years after
old Tony disappeared, so you know he does it. He would be like
like a baby right now when we're doing this. This is so meta right
now, But I wasn't the special episode of East kind Indian like how sometimes
sitcoms have like clip shows. This is us just filling in gaps. Okay,
So we're going to get the heart necklace, right, guys, Right,
Yeah, we're gonna find the heart God that we started the episode already.
Yeah, you guys say it's not East if we don't spend the first
like five minutes of the episode just talking about whatever shit we want to Yeah,
Lord, No, that was Lord. That was hard. Yeah,
okay, okay, So you guys are venturing north in the deserts of Selemnia.
You've been given a map that's like very detailed that I did say that
I would make one and I haven't. So all right, who is which
MPCs are with us? If any rate it? Boastlow, Little Feather,
and Hatch Okay, okay, so we got three MPCs to work with.
Okay, gotcha, you got him, You got him. Chico occasionally barks,
but it's mostly stoic. It's Japanese barks. Yeah. One one one
one one one, Okay, okay, and you want isn't you with us?
Oh we leave him? You've got left behind the bar? I think,
Yeah, y'all got drunk. Yeah, I think you left him in
East rat Town. I don't remember you picking him up again. Oh god,
if he goes because we were watching it. We were watching over him
at night when we lost rest. Yeah. And then you, dude,
if if y'all turns into a wolf in East rat Town, that's gonna be
a fucking mass turns into bring we're bringing we're bringing in with us. Okay.
So y'all say it's okay, okay, So you've got the fucking gang.
Yeah, you got the get back and all the rats are dead?
Is handling the heat the worst? Okay? Oh god, I mean Cody's
from California. I got an air condition suit. I'm good. Yeah,
what about what about the shock? He's from the Midwest. It's not good.
I mean, did Chicago the Midwest? Yeah? Yeah, yes,
the Midwest, great legs, it gets human into the skip. Chicago,
the Bodwest. I heard this, snotty spot the most immediately what you said
is Chicago the bid rest. I was like Kayla's not gonna like that.
Norman, Are you still wearing a hoodie in the desert? Why is he?
It's my aesthetic, but you're just wearing I am definitely missing missing the
ac back home. I should probably my next spell. I'm gonna get us
like some ac speller. I have that in my suit. Actually, I
raised up my gauntlets like iron Man's repulsor cannons and cast ray of frost on.
Norman fels good. Do you guys are walking for quite at least half
a day? Is anything you guys want to talk to each other will say
before you reach your destiny? I know we're just talking about mark solving one?
Is what happened peally? Okay? Then after a while of walking,
I have a thing. Okay, the Shark went through some serious stuff recently.
I'm not forgetting the character growth, fucking fucking monsters. This is all
played out. I got I got notes. I'm an author the accent.
First of all, No, that's hard. Second, the Shark is gonna
on this trip have some silent knights, smoking a cigarette cigar not the cigar
that transports him, having a rough time. Yeah, and one night he's
gonna finally feel ready. He's gonna ask his best friend, Norman, who
probably doesn't feel the same way. But that's okay with the Shark, and
he's gonna open up. He's gonna talk, he's some talk of walking.
He's gonna be like, hey, as long as Norman says, yes,
I don't know. Norman says the shark, I do consider you a friend.
Not bets. There's an absence. Oh, it's more than the other
guys could probably say. Consider you're killed. William Shakespeare used his body as
a as a weapon. The shark goes, that's kind of what I wanted
to talk to you about. The cackle wrested God. I just I love
it, because I love I could just imagine like a serial killer being like,
hey man, we're friends, right, and the other guys like,
I guess so, but you did kill all those people. Well that's what
I'm here to talk about. I said, I do consider you a friend.
It's true. Yeah, I've never really told anyone about this. Violence
has been my life since before I was born. I killed my brother in
the womb, that's true. My parents held it against me my whole life,
said I was born as sinner. Put me down the path I'm on
today to work him about. Seemed like I found my calling. Get to
go over to Europe, fight for what's right. I bade them blood,
and I found a new type of brother, not by blood, but by
experience. He died with me in those trenches. I didn't handle after the
war too well. Came home, are now really struggled. Join the gang.
Found more violence, but I couldn't even handle it there. I was
known for losing control, killing people didn't need killing. Took my meds.
They didn't help. I was finally on my way institutionalized. Fell asleep in
the back of the truck on the way. The looney had been I woke
up here where the air tastes sour and water. Melanie, I think that's
just the candy you got with their buddy. This is this is the first
time I believe you. It sounds it, This sounds real and authentic.
It is. But I came here and I thought I might be able to
escape the violence. But I was wrong. It's still in me and I
needed to stop. So I'm saying from this moment forward, I accidentally killed
a kid here. It's not the world that's a problem. I thought it
was the world. It's me. I'm the fucking problem. I killed a
baby in front of its parents, and I felt nothing in the moment.
In fact, I think it felt good. So I'm trying to stay in
characters. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up, you fuck up,
Rusted, I will break your teeth like a brick. You are all
right. I'm pledging from this day forward, I won't kill another person in
this world. I'll fight, I'll hurt. No one else dies by my
hand, and from here on out, I'm fighting passively. There's not going
to be a kill strike from the shark again. That's where you, Rusted.
She's done. Oh, there will not be more death at the shark's
hand. Oh gosh, wow, in my hand. I put my hand
on the shark's shoulder. I believe you. Violence is definitely in you,
and you could. You could definitely, and sometimes it's necessary, but you
could do it. You could do it, And I give the shark.
I give the shark a hug. Good. I want to clarify I will
still hurt people like as soon as you want to. Really good, I'm
still a fucking asshole, but I won't kill unless it's in the last defense
of my or one of y'all's lives. And there's I know what YouTube covert.
There was a YouTube covert that says, how does the Shark have a
brother? When he ate his brother in the womb, he could have just
had two brothers, like what he No, no, no, it's more
hurtful if I lost a friend. Yeah, true, that's that's true.
That's true. Because also I liked that the Shark has changed the canonical beginning
of this campaign. Yeah, yeah, yeah you did. You were not
in in a vente on the way to the looney bin when you got transported
in this world, but you were in an alley breaking someone's legs. He
was in the alley. That was in the alley. That was another.
The Shark was lying because he was a shame. He was just lying,
and the role play we did was lying as well, like it was.
That was he The DM can lie to the narrator, can be deceitful.
He doesn't always need to be one hundred percent going crazy. That's what he
thought happened in the looney bin. That's what he was fantasizing about in the
back of the van. Okay, yeah, I love the unreliable narrator,
because that doesn't give you like the idea of a god that knows everything,
that what's going to happen, you know. Yeah, and rust and Will
he'll back me up. We actually planned all this out from before the camp
really now well a year and a half in the making, and I co
authored it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's actually a hundred
percent Kyla's idea. Kayla was like, Daniel Green has to play this character
with the Shark. I've drawing him. Yeah, keep you on. We
started playing this before we started living again. Oh god, so only Norman
gets this uhets which I start the thing. If you tell anyone else,
I'll fucking kilt. I would, I would. I would have thought it
would have been Cody out of everyone because Cody's but he chose Norman. So
oh no, the shark's too jealous of Cody for being bigger than him.
He actually connects with Norman on a little bit of a leavel and then the
new guy he's like, yeah, I mean yeah, yeah, you don't
know me. Yeah. What about bones Slow? You killed together? Yeah,
you take kill a lot of people together. Yeah. The bone Slow,
even with the dead kid was like, yeah, like the bad influence
here, he's the devil on your shoulder and little bone slow, a little
feather bone slow, a little feather like good and evil on the sharks.
Oh I was thinking bones all and baby shark like that would be yeah,
oh god, okay, oh my goodness. As you guys are walking through
the desert, in the distance, finally, as the clouds sort of part,
you see a looming sand giant, like a giant sand golum. But
it is bigger than you could even imagine. I'm talking huge, like like
into like a sky scraper size or yeah, bigger like the Birch Khalifa is
a huge and it's going into space. No, not moving, but it's
not moving, it is said, it's just standing there. Okay, sands
and clouds, pot. I don't know if we could fight this thing.
Do we see a man in black flinger across the desert and a gunslinger following,
No, you do not see that. But what you do see is
a dusty sign that says Corpus this way, and a little arrow pointing towards
the sand Golam said what this way is? Said? Corpus, Corpus this
way? Okay, all right, I guess we had tour. I mean,
that's clearly a sand giant. I don't know if it's the one we're
looking for, but how many of them can there be? I mean,
I'm just saying, if this thing has the key and we have to fight
this thing, it could just step on us and cause like a magnitude ten
earthquakes. So like, I feel like we definitely need a game plan here.
But yes, it would be very weird if that wasn't the objective.
I played enough video games and no, that's a boss. Yeah, there's
no way we can fight this thing. Let's just do our best not to
aggravate it. I'm gonna scan the environment for another sand golm. A little
guy and he's just carrying it, Like, look what I got. Can
you describe like the setting around the golm? It's it is dunes and I
mean sand dunes mountains, but he towers above everything and he couldn't see it
before because the air was thick with with haze and sand in the air and
clouds. Maybe we're supposed to go in the golm, shark. I think
you made a lot of progress, but uh, it might be time for
us to be violent once more. At least you got not human those are
big trying to think does that apply to human like non humanoid things, like
you know what I mean? Like if someone's like, I'm not going to
kill anymore and then they killed something non humanoid, would you be like that's
a That's a plot point in my other d D series was Cravy. He
was a pacifist. He has this moment where he's like, I swore it
never hurts another human again, and they're finding a bunch of robots and he's
like, but these are not humans and he just starts sucking, ripping them
apart, so they're like automatous. So like a golm is not. It
depends. It depends on how you defind humanity, right, is it?
I would say if a golem had a soul, like it was capable of
like rational thoughts. You know that's so funny, Ristige, I nearly just
said solemn as well. Listen, Hopefully it won't come down to that,
because if this thing starts swinging, there's nothing we can do. That's the
fish the size of a town. Yeah yeah, yeah, it's a big
fist. If this thing looks like it's got ill and we need to high
tail it out of here. Okay, should we be a little bit more
sneaky, then, says little Feather, Yeah, probably is there anywhere froze
too? Disguise our selves as we as we moved towards as I could,
I can make us invisible. Yea invisibility? Would do these do have invisibility?
I have invisibility? Ray? How'd you go? Whifs as well?
How many of us are there? Like four MPCs plus the four of us,
so eight? We got a fellowship going? Guys, we should be
high down? Well, I can't make everybody invisible. I can make two
people invisible. I guess we only need one person to be invisible to like
see what's ahead. I guess. Yeah. If we want to send a
scout ahead, who's the most stealthy bone slaw? How about I make you?
I want to artously him. Actually, Little Feather, as invisible might
actually not be a bad idea, I mean, if you're sure, but
just as does it have a range limit or no? Because she could fly
far away, I would cast it on her and then she would be invisible
as you can go right? Yeah, okay, so you can go a
continent away. It's not like, it's not like it lasts one. Yeah,
I think that sounds perfect. If a little feather turns invisible, flies
ahead, use your special bird eyes to scout out and see what the situation
is and report back. Okay, okay, I will use my invisibility ray,
which looks like a little radar dish on a little feather just like.
Okay, whole time. I've never used this on someone else. I actually
don't know how this is going to feel. She dies, Okay, I'm
gonna need her to make a constitution. Bro, she turns invisible, immasily.
I have never been invisible like this before, unless I have, and
I just forgotten anyway. So now keep in mind people can still hear you.
So I don't know if that's gonna be relevant, but keep that in
mind. Will be I will be sneaky. Then, actual technical question is
when we've seen her people fly, are they like owls where they're like super
quiet, like? Is that how they're feathering? I think it depends on
what type of bird person they are, right, what kind of bird person
is she? She's a she's a blue jay, right? I think well,
obviously we've we've seen her fly plenty. Yeah. How what's the volume
like of her phone? She's a sort of that's the smart way to ask
that question, thank you. She makes a little bit of noise. She's
not silent. I wouldn't hear if a golem hurd of bird flying by,
it's gonna like freak out. Norman, Norman, do you have that spell
that quiet? I do not, damn it. I mean, to be
fair, the golems is would be very high up, that's true. Yeah,
here's like a normal person. Yeah, yeah, so okay, she's
gonna I guess you would roll a stealth nineteen Wow. Nice with a bandage,
I'd say with it. You see the sands sort of shift as she
I guess, Cody, you notice her smell leave because you don't see her
going to the and then after a little while eventually she returns and she goes
uninvisible in front of you, guys. Yeah, I'll just okay, okay,
listen, guys, you wants fucking believes this. But by the foot
of this giant sand thing is like a door and it has a big side
over the top that says welcome to Corpus, And there's a man outside of
it and it looks like at edentrands. Oh, okay's welcome. It says
welcome to corpus and a door. All right, raw perception on deception.
Maybe this is a long con betrayal. Maybe she's if you want to do
that, it's it's an insight role. Let's stop. I believe her.
I believe her immediately. I have no I'm totally joking. I would trust
her in my life. Does this guy, the guy at the door,
is he like armed or anything? Does he look like a guard? He
does not look like a guard. He looks a little bit like he looks
a little odd. He had a funny hat? How funny his hat?
Fucking hilarious? Describable a picture? The funniest hat you've ever seen? Funnier
though, that's a pretty funny hat. Yeah, I don't think it's that
funny. Well I drew a picture. She shows you, guys, the
funniest hat you've ever seen. You need to roll to see how funny this
fucking hat? Yeah, what do you do? A do a fucking roll?
A twenty human check roll. I would do it. I would do
a one D hundred a scale of one to one hundred. How funny is
one hundred being like like perfect, it's one hundred we all die die of
laughter. Fifty Hey, it's it's pretty funny. It's pretty pretty funny.
That's not the funniest I've ever seen, but it's up there. It's like
the top ten. It gets to laugh, Yeah, it gets it's it's
it's exactly as funny as an old comedy your parents show you as like this
was the funniest thing ever in my ye, like National Lampoon's Vacation funny.
Like, Okay, I get it. She probably thought it was funny because
it's funny to like her and her people, but not to you guys.
Like maybe it's like a baseball cap, like a like a like a flat
cap or something. That's like she'd never seen that before, so it's really
funny to her, but you guys have seen it like a cowboy hat.
Okay, I get it's a little perfectly average hat, all right, I
gets. Okay, Okay, then well he just approach the front. Then,
I mean, I gotta be honest with you, if we don't have
to fight that thing, we just go in and ask around and get the
heart. That's not that's not a bad idea. I'm okay with that.
Sounds ideal. Yeah, if you guys remember correctly, everyone that comes for
this heart dies. Oh that's right, we're gonna have to fight something.
Yeah, it's gonna be don't want to fight? Or do they not come
back? There's two very different things. Yeah. The guy he said he
didn't come back. Yeah, that's how he said. So maybe it's a
perfect paradise and they just want to stay here forever, or maybe they can't
leave, maybe when the door shuts were locked in the goal, or they
just get to go home when they're done. Honestly, if that's what happened,
I wouldn't go back to that town either, you know. Yeah,
I mean it's a good point. We don't know that they died, we
know they didn't come back. Yeah, we could just get inside and it's
just like Last Vegas. That's all you care about. Norman, like beardis
from me and Mountain Dew, I want to endit up, call duty and
change it for Valeriant. Would definitely definitely a PC gamer. He doesn't mean
supremacy, Yeah, yeah, yeah, alright, Fuck, let's just march
towards the Golumb's foot then, Okay, yeah, let's just go. I
guess how well carved is this gollum? By the way, as we get
close to it, Oh, like, is it like big blocks and stuff
stacked the error? Is it like carved? Finally there's yeah, I'd say
it's very it's very well carved. Not detailed, but well carved. So
it's not blocks, but it's it's got smooth edges. So visible toes are
visible toes visible to visible? Okay, so giant feet, giant visible,
one hundred percent visible toes. I really want to stress visible toes, karu.
Can we get a thumbnail toue just toes? Can we get one big
sandstone foot? The toes are the most well detailed part of the whole thing.
The I have a gamer plan, guys. The statue was brought to
you by Tarantino. I very much doubt the golem is fast enough to catch
me while flying. Okay, so what if I were to fly over Agro?
Okay, let me let me not use a game, return to my
apologies, get the golden's attention, get him to chase me off. You
guys approached this man and the and the door. Right after I hear the
door, the door is part of the Oh I thought it was in front
of the gold The door is in the Golden Yeah, yeah, yeah,
right now a growing? That's the would you use a growing? The guy
is not shouldn't be an issue. It looks like we can just go in,
hopefully as long as this guy at the base doesn't try and fight us.
So I think we can talk our way in. I think we can
get a guy, you know, Okay, we could try. Worst case,
if things go wrong and just gold Them starts smacking down on us,
I could turn a couple of us invisible, or Anthony could turn a couple
of us invisible, and I can me and one other person could fly and
we just escape. I'll be honest with you. This thing is so big
even if it wanted to move, it would probably take a while for just
one foot to reach of you know what I mean? Like this thing is
massive. I'm miss saying. If you guys want to go and talk to
this guy and see if we could enter the gold Them, I think I
don't think we'll fight the Golden then in there as we get away, we
get away, all right, Okay, let's do that with how big those
kneecaps are, well, you can't reach them, but how big his arms
are? Easy? His ankles on the Let's talk to this guy for us
guys, or let's go Okay, so you guys are much more across the
dunes. Across the dune, Cody, you want to you want to the
lead on this. I mean, Coody is not a great talker. If
I needed to check what his chrismas, there needs to be any sort of
like persuasion or deception. Coody's not the guy who has the best charisma,
because mine's only twelve. I actually think I don't think I have terrible charisma.
I think you guys are not very charismatic as a Greek not I'm talking
about my character. Cal just soffered from the core with you're a really charismatic
BA. That was so funny. I have a thirteen, So I don't.
I'm not going to help you there. Okay. Wow. I do
want to say for anyone confused, canonically the characters could look at their character
sheets. That's like part of the world as they could see their sheets,
so this is not meta gaming. They can look at the could they are
he has the confidence, even if not the charisma yeah, all right to
walk up and be the first one to speak. That sums up our party
so well, they have the confidence. Yeah. So as you walk up,
Hatchiko barks at you, and you feel a little bit more inspired and
more thank you. Hatchiko he used to just me, doesn't know you.
Yeah, he's using Barty inspiration on you. Oh yeah, so it's just
one person, okay, yeah, cool? Yeah. Is there a sort
of a musical quality to his bark? Okay he barks in dubstep. Oh
my god, that was pretty good actually. Okay, so I'm assuming this
guy can probably seals from a while away. As we're walking. Does he
react at all to our approach? As you guys approach, he goes Travelers,
Travelers, travelers, welcome, Welcome to Corpus. Please please come in,
stay awhile. My name is Parasmos. Come on, come closer.
Hello. Ya's a sulkin, he has four arms. He's a slightly light
bluish sulkin, and he's wearing fez. That is about our fifty. That's
a fifty. Yeah, welcome. My name is Parasmos. I am I
am the tall guide, but also the greater the dog man, right,
you know, we don't get travelers more often. But I drew what this
person looks like. Can I show you? Yes, that's it, that's
right. I love how you auto blows not letting us see. For anyone
listening to this, this is no. Don't tell them, don't tell them.
This is import never was too bad. Fuck you, we hate you.
This episode sponsored by people who can see. Yeah, I love you.
Don't want to piss off all the blind people. Guys, Now we
have a problem one. I mean, they could they just miss if they
attack us, but they won't be able to find us. That's the worst
thing you've ever Okay, they will, they will roll to hit with disadvantage.
All right, Hey buddy, it's just the lady for spirited Away.
It's the old leaves. Okay, hey baba, Yeah, he does not
look like that. He looks like a sulkin. He sounds scrawny. Is
he scrawny? He's he's skinny, and he looks like I shake, shake,
shake his hand. He needs to reach the typical sulkin fashion. He
puts all four hands over your hand and shakes it. It's very nice.
What is your names? Oh? Where are the other worldly brewery? Wow?
That's all of your names. Great, that's like our collective group company.
Yeah, great, Cody, nice to meet you. I already said
my name, but I'm Anthony. Nice to meet you. I guess he's
in friendly know, just like pointing him around the group and as everyone like,
we go through every name. What lovely names? What lovely name?
You're not Sulkin too? No, yeah, we're kind of visiting this kind
of I guess you could count this as like a company trip. We need
more non Sulkins up in here. Well, bone slaws are sulkin. Yeah,
oh yes, I noticed him. He's totally not a want in criminal
right now. But if I was, I'd be worth a lot of money.
Yeah. No, we're all here legally, Prasmas. We're kind of
new here. We you know, heard about this goal and came to see
what was happening. Can you like before we go inside? Is there anything
we should know about this? What is this place? It's a city?
You love it? So city? Oh yeah, Corvus. We tried to
put it on the maps, but they never let us put it down.
I put up some signs pointing towards it. I don't know if he saw
them. Yeah, we did see that, do you think I kind of
like just look around so around here, just to be clear, there's no
like roads or any establishments or any people. It's just complete desert. Yeah,
anybody live in this city. Oh, lots of people live in the
city. They just they just live in the city side. Well, of
course, it's sands and dunes for miles out here. Nobody wants to be
out here. And also the blood clot you know, they don't. I'm
I'm the only one that the blood clot lets out occasionally. Ah. So
let's say we were to go in and then want to leave later. Can
we do that? You could do that? You know, Okay? Can
we Okay, I'm gonna roll inside on that, definitely. I mean I
think I believe him. Yeah, yeah, I think you believe him.
I do. We all roll We all saw your eyes, Like, I
know you're lying, but there's Norman new Yard lying. I wanna just quickly
apologize for like a solid minute there. It just was really funny to me
how immediately everyone dog piled blind people, and I just think that's what we
loved. We had a whole episode dedicated we need We had a whole episode
dedicated to them. We had to yeah, the way just make sure.
Yeah, it's like the BBC. We have to remain impartial. Yeah,
yes, okay, Oh, Norman. You see, he's definitely hide exult
thing. Norman. I have a feeling he's lying. But at the same
time, I feel like we gotta go in to find out we're not.
We're not making any progress here, but he's definitely lying. I said,
there's something. There's some some treach for you happening here. All right,
Well you said you were the tour, right, yes, I think we'd
all love a tour. Oh you would? Oh great, sweet paycheck?
All right, come on in, all right, yeah, I mean as
long as we're helping you out, that's a good. Yeah. So I'll
take the grand tour, I guess. And he he opens the door open
and behind him is like this. It looks like a Rickory elevator at the
base of the foot. How big is the door? Oh, it's like
a big double doors. Okay, it's like it's a relatively grand it's quite
a big space. Because the face of this guy's food is pretty decently so
it's like like a freight elevator or something going out. You see the elevator.
But around the elevator there are like there's a couple of people in red
armor and they're just sort of sitting there and they notice you come in on
the inside. On the inside, and there's a couple of small buildings there
as well. It's big enough for that. You know, this is like
a field of space almost. Okay, huh Hey, guys, Hi,
you're welcome to Corpus. Hope you enjoy your ston and realize you were cool
like that. Yeah, don't worry. These guys are just you know,
they're a little they could be a little. Yeah. These are the city
guards. Yeah, well, these are the blood Clots specifically, then they're
a branch of the Blood Force, a lot of blood. The blood Clot
are sort of near the exits and entrances to the city mostly here, you
know, just to protect us, you know, like guards do, right,
right, guys. I As as he continued leading us on, I
kind of turned to whisper at the grip, I'm like, can we try
and get a gauge on these guys like strength, because we might need to
fight our way out of here if they don't want us to leave. I'm
too busy paying attention to this elevator. This thing has not passed inspection.
Let me tell you that I want to go work on right now. You
should totally challenge someone with an arm wrestle. Yeah, the shock literally has
his ability to know that enemy. Yeah, I'm gonna know that I'm fucking
enemy right now. All right, you want to know? I mean you
got to like go talk to him for a minute something. You've got to
strength score, dexterity score, constitution score, armor class, current hip points,
total class levels, and total fighter. You can know two of those
things and only in relation to yourself, right, I want to know all
those things. I'll give you a dollar. I think I think that health
and melacy is pretty you would indicate it. You also have to spend about
a minute like interacting with them, So you want to go over and talk
to them for a little bit. Yeah, I'm just gonna go over and
talk to him. Yea, I am going to recite the conversation I had
with Norman Verbatims. So we don't know. So I just bulldoze ahead.
I don't care how socially uncomfortable. I just make the violently uno you kind
of you kind of we had broke yo. All right, but you do
that for at least a minute. Yeah, that's like over a minute.
Okay, you could do it equals the shark sense of humor. He's not
doing that because he's insane. He thinks that's fucking funny. So which two
are you choosing out of that list? I agree with Cody here, let's
go with armor class and HP. Okay, and it's higher or lower than
yours. So they're there, HP are lower than yours, their armor classes
than yours, Class sixteen, Class sixteen. Your hit points is ninety two,
so they have light HP than you, but higher AC than you.
It could literally be like seventeen, which wouldn't that be that big a deal?
But if it was like twenty, we got a fucking yeah, and
doesn't really tell as much. Actually, yeah, because you've got so much
fucking health. Yeah, well, at least they were rested. Sorry,
let me what if every gun in the city had a hudge plus health.
They're they're powerful, they're blood clots. Man. Can I spend another minute?
Now, take as much time as you want. Now, I'm just
going to say, now it's your turn. You know what, it was
really brave of you to come out with all of that. Listen, I've
been here my whole life and I've always been a member of the Blood Clots,
and exactly a two minutes, I'm gonna tell them shut the fuck up
all at two things. Do you want to know? I don't think that's
how it works, but go ahead. So it is fine, total class
levels and if any don't, it doesn't. They don't have class levels,
so oh okay, I thought they did. Then I'm gonna do their strength
and dexterity. Oh god, what's your strength? They are slightly weaker than
you in strength. Actually there's a little bit of variance. Some of them
are the same and some of them are weaker. Oh okay, they're pretty
strong. Then I'm a strong man and did the bowflex. Yeah. And
dexterity, they are more dexterous than you. You have a zero dexterity.
Well, I mean that's we still learn something about the strength there. I'm
gonna go back to the guys and I'm gonna be like I did the sheet
thing and I now know the numbers, and I'm just going to convey the
interview. I'm literally working on the elevator because you said it was rickety,
and I want to fix it up. So I'm doing that. We need
do we see at the base here, there's about eight there's about eight here.
Okay. I know that everyone keeps saying blood clot by the way,
but just in various people's accents, it sounds like the Jamaican word blood clot.
It's blood clot as in cla just as very humorous. Okay, So
are you guys getting on the elevator? I mean Parasmos is like, oh
this, This elevator often stops. You know, it's like a system where
people get on and get off. But I will make sure that it goes
straight to the to the town center for you guys. All right, cool,
I fixed it up. Nice, let's go. Oh great, Well,
I saw that you were a way out of inspection. I don't think
this would pass fire safety, so I managed to. I changed out some
of the cables and pulleys and this one, this guard rail wasn't right,
and just you know, well, thank you for gosh. I hope,
I hope the bosses are okay with that. And you all follow onto this
elevator and deactivates it, pause a lever and it starts to go up,
and as it ascends through the gallon's leg, you start seeing like houses of
people, where people live. And occasionally it will pass like a stop where
people are waiting for the elevator and it passes by, and they look disappointed
that they couldn't board. But everyone in this little area they all look relatively
impoverished. They impoverished, they look a bit dirty. They and the houses
are kind of quite rickety and shack like sort of built. But as you
get closer and closer to the waste, they get a little bit nicer,
until eventually you reach the top of the gollum's waist, top of his leg,
and now you're in the main body area. So we're in the hip,
you're in the You're not only in the hip. This is the body.
It is okay, giantess what so like where the kidney is or that's
just like that's this isn't the hip, it's the whole Torso that's yeah,
that's what I'm saying. Listen, what are the kidneys? Perespus goes up.
He explains, this is a It is a This entire city was built
inside a giant sand gollumn, which is lucky for us because gollumbs they don't
have like organs already, they're just hollow on the inside. So we were
able to construct a city in there, and it's like a giant building and
there's whenever it rains on the gollum, it seeps through and rains for us
as well. It is great. Yeah, I gotta tell you about this.
This looks all magical and whimsical on everything, but I noticed about fifty
five fire and safety violations. Like there's no way, so what happens if
that city down there catches on fire. The only way out is down an
elevator shaft. That's a fail right there. You got to bring this up
at the code. You need fire safety stairs on this goal of this is
too expensive and that we have that sort of regulation nearer the brain. I
need to talk to your I need to talk to your supervisor definitely about this.
But you you enter into this cavernous space and there's there's these buildings built
into the size of the walls. There are multiple elevators like transporting people and
goods and sometimes buildings up and down this Torso area. So now that we're
in the Tosso, is it like from where we are on the bottom all
the way to the top. It's just it's all see this gigantic spas giant
in the center of the space is a giant spherical building that's like glass,
and it has elevators. It has tubes and leading towards it, and elevators
going up and down connected to those tubes. And hey, guys, if
we're looking for a heart, I mean I feel like, yeah, I
figure it would be where the heart is. But there are pools of water
and waterfalls and reservoirs built into this giant body. But it is a thriving,
multiple level city. And he looks over you guys that goes, would
you guys think it's pretty cool? Huh, we've got where do you guys
get your food? We we we have to. We have farms we've had,
we have animals that we we grow and well, lots lots of people
eat it yummy in my tummy. And he points over a restaurant. It's
got a big man. So you get you get a lot of sun in
here. Then uh, yeah, well yes, and no we we the
the Archbishop Palmo has to do a lot of sun based magic. Yeah,
I get you, all right, but we do get water at again for
the rain. We purify it, we we make and it's it's great in
here. You see there is quite a lot of blood forced guards just occasionally
put around, all right, a lot of a lot of guards around.
You guys have a lot of trouble. Oh no, we just you know,
you know, you got General Boone. He's he's very strict and but
like we got to keep the peace. We don't have any crime, you
know what I mean? Like crime rates is zero and that's because he's zero
crime. That's pretty impossible. Absolutely, no, this place is the safest
place. Wow. Ever, imagine Wow, how how tough are your guards
for zero crime rate? Like what happens someone tried to steal something? I
just wouldn't happen that too. Scatter the guards exactly, you know, get
out of the broken windows theory. Yeah, okay, so we got this
military dictatorship, I got it all right. No, no, it's it's
not no, no, No, Chairman Cerebrum. He's a loving, kind
leader. But yeah, you could find everything you wants here in the Torso
what about that glass building right there in the center though, that's where we
keep the heart. Ah, that's the chamber of life. I would like
to see the chamber of life. I would love to see the chamber of
life. I'm sorry, I've actually we came here for let's go see the
chamber of life. No you no, no common citizen is allowed. We're
not citizens. Oh, yes, we have money, Yes you are.
I'm the fire and safety inspector, sir, So what did it? What
did prosmo? Sir? Yes, yes, your citizens Congratulations and your citizenship.
I hope you enjoy your life. No, we're not. We're citizens
of the United States of America. I slapped tody off. We're citizens of
the United States of America, brought to you by McDonald's. Damn itsen here,
prasmis, I don't even have a passport. Okay, never mind our
citizenship. Uh what do you what are you implying? I'm taying, congratulations
you could. Uh, if there's plenty of jobs here, if you own
up enough money, you may be able to get a house in the arms.
Well, now we have great news. We have infinite money. Yeah
we don't. We just told us we're citizens and if we have enough money
we can get access. Guess what, we're citizens and your boys got money?
How much money do you have on you? All of it? Well,
maybe maybe you could get a nice Maybe you could get a nice result
in the hands, Oh the hands that's actually lovely? Is there is there
a pamphlet I could look at, corpus. I'm gonna I want to play
the game of D and D real quick. Can I rule intimidation and just
threaten this person? Well, how are you founding him? What are you
doing? I'm gonna say I have all the money I need, Norman.
Remember how you said I wouldn't kill That doesn't mean I won't beat the ever
living piss out of you if I'm not taking us there right, God damn.
Now, if you have all the money, you don't even need to
do intimidation for this, because if you do have all the money, he
can lead you to the hands. If you want to purchase a property in
the hands, you don't have money on us, I'm not taking the time
to go fucking buy property. Yeah, real life and proper right now,
Cody, Cody, look at these time shares though, I mean they look
at in the little pinky. The pinky looks really nice. I roll intimidation.
What about a house near the hut he's not even that intimidated. You've
got a nine what a little? What about a house near the heart?
There's not we don't. Most people live in the arms and the legs.
All the buildings in the torso are mostly commercial. A couple of a couple
of government people live in the neck. Okay, I gotta ask what is
there not a building? Is there not a building next to the heart?
What's what's the dick Dick's pleasure palace? You want to go to Dick's pleasure
palace? No? Good, I'm good. I just was curious. Yeah,
yeah, So what's the building then in the center? Oh, that
is the Chamber of Life? Right? What does it do? It's it
gives us the column life. Huh. This thing's alive. But that is
why it's still If if if something were to happen to the heart in the
Chamber of Life, the entire place would crumble everybody. That would be fair,
that would be horrible, would belperful. How many people live here,
it's a good thousand to two thousands. That's a horrible good few thousands there,
Jesus Christ, any any snack lemon? No, we have a about
about seventy percent of our population as soakin and we do have some humans a
couple hole guards, so I'm glad you you you're adding to the whole guard
population. Keep up those diversity numbers. Time I write for us over to
yog and I've got to get such a pay rise for this. Well anyway,
thank you for the thank you for the tour. I flip the one
gold. I actually only have nineteen goals you guys, You guys do hypothetically
have on limited money, but it's all with Wellington. So yeah, so
as you guys are spending money while you're here, it's it is dwindling.
Thanks for the door. We're gonna go for a walk. Yeah we're nearly
twelve hundred im. I got a lot on I mean decent. Well,
thank you so much. I'm going to go talk to my boss. All
right. Yeah, we're just gonna check out these time shares and you have
a good time. Okay, goodbye, Thank you. He gives an elaborate
bow and he smiles and he rushes off. All right, so boys,
you know the leading path of death. Let's go give this gold goal of
a fucking heart attack. Oh yeah, we can't take in that. We
can't take that hard. I mean that's a I can't we make sure there
if there was any snake girls about the lives of snake women. Look listen,
I mean people are trapped here for all of it forever, right,
or we would be setting them free technically, I mean, look, is
it? What isn't like killing them? Well? They should. They should
be gamer enough to knock die, like like if we would move it and
get if we could die right, But we're not going to. I mean
I could just we could just jump off the goal and I have that anti
gravity thing. We'll be fine. Listen, norm you're sending a lot like
the shark right now. We can't kill these people. I may have opened
up to the wrong person. Boone Slow is hug gry? Can we go
to Yummy? Tell me? All right, let's go about this arm wrestle.
All right, we'll get you an arm wrestle. Don't worry about it,
bone Slow, we'll get you an arm wrestle. My favorite food is
right a tui. It's everybody's favorite food, buddy, all right, Cody,
I guess I figured out technically a better way to go about this.
We'd have to defeat all the guards so that people could leave, but and
then we tramble everything. The shark takes one step down from being a murder
hobo, and Norman takes two steps The shark companion Norman, who has the
least issue with killing people, I might have a better idea. Let's get
let's get our friends from food. All right, let's go get some Yeah,
okay. He walk into Yummy in My Tummy. As the doors opened,
the jingle Thieves song of Yummy in My Tummy plays and it goes,
yummy Mammy, and that just gets over the speakers every time someone enters the
guys. You walk in, there's a couple of people eating. There is
a man in like a business suit who's who's eating food, and he has
a couple of blood guards near him. He's on his own little table and
a way to comes up and goes, hello, welcome to Yummy in my
Tummy. Are you sure, tummy hungy? Would you like eat some food?
Can I just get a cheeseburger with some fries? Please? Oh?
Right, this way? Sit down? Oh thank Lizzy Trump big table.
So you would like a cheeseburger with fries? What about that would be delicious?
You got that? Salads we got salads, got chicken nuggies. We
got chicken nuggies. Anything that's yummy, and you'll tummy. I'll take our
steak raw just in fact, barely barely cook it. Or would you just
hold cigars under it for a minute? Everyone, so you just want the
cow, then shark, you just want to noked cow bones. Looks around.
It doesn't seem to be anyone here, though I could un wrestling is
he might hold hold on yummy and might to me. Sorry, someone's just
covered to the restaurant and the someone walks in and then they go, and
the way it goes up when they sit down. Kids in here, we
can find you someone elsewhere to have an arm wrestle with. If this guy,
this guy's got guards, he might be important. Sorry, it's busy,
it's us. If we have a we have a conversation with this guy,
we could learn something or use him to work our way up towards the
brain. Because here's what I'm thinking. I think Norman's right. I think
we need to get rid of these guards so that everyone can escape and then
we take the heart. But I don't think just taking the guards out ourselves
is going to be a good idea. We really got to figure out a
way to get people evacuated out of the golm and like like several miles away,
you know, how to access the hut in the first place, Like
elevators, I don't know, I mean Norman and you could fly up.
But yeah, we have we have to shut up every time that happened.
Can you describe the building that we saw? It was? It was a
spherical building, but inside you could see a sort of platform, and it
had four tunnels attached to it and like arteries. Okay, at the end
of each of those tunnels, there was a door. Blow up the door,
I mean, we can get in, probably not a big deal to
get inn't want to steal the thing, but if we steal the thing,
the whole thing collapses, which could kill us too. I think I think
we need to go to the top, all right, General Bone or whoever
it was who controls all this the military here. We can get to him
if we can convince him sorry to let his guards stand down and evacuate the
city. As that last person walks in with the last yummy in my tummy,
it is a guy with like a slick black black and sort of bluish
hair, sulkin dark sulkin skin, like a deep purple. And he comes
in with a couple of people next to him and he just walks in and
the waiter comes up to him and it goes, welcome to yummy, me
and tummy, and he just pushes into a side and he noticed he approaches
the table with the guy on the suit. M Okay, well where's this
going? Do you do you stop your conversation to watch? What? Do
you just keep? Yeah, I'm definitely like we'll like stopping what we're saying.
We're like, hold on, yeah, that's that's that's happening right in
front of us. That's kind of distracting. So it's like, okay,
hold on, yeah, the guy eating the Yeah, well this is going
on. Can the shark find the person making the ummy and the tummy announcement?
It's never very quick conversation. Okay, but I'm just gonna go to
where the pa is and I'm just going too very calmly and reasonably pull it
from the wall. So go, hey, hey, don't do that.
That costs so much good money. You actually you're gonna do it. I
need you to do an athletics for a strength because it is I don't know.
Yeah, that costs me so much. I'm gonna walk up to the
guy and go, hey, this almost just fell on me. Be careful.
That could be a lawsuit. Waiting to happen is a deception role,
and it's a very difficult one. So good luck. No, I'm doing
it, Sarkat, He's just saw me do it. I'm being like I
wasn't trying to turn around and be like, okay, he's got tears in
his eyes, he's like and he's like crazling on the floor. And in
the meantime, uh, you on the other side, you go and Loba,
who knew you'd be eating with commoners like us? And and the man
with the suit looks up and says, sometimes I like to enjoy a meal.
What do you want with me? And the blood Guards are the Blood
Force like squaring up, and the man with the ponytail looks over and he
says, we want that key, motherfucker, And he pulls out a crossbow
and fires off a shot and one of the one of the blood Guards,
immediately parries the shot. But shit is going down now. I don't know
if you guys want to do anything would already arrive. The waiter with the
food comes out in that moment, and the reflected arrow bounces off the arrow
of the armor of the guy and like knocks over your cheeseburg Try to grab
my cheeseburger, No, my chicken nuggies. That punch a guy in the
face, even though it's very unwizard light, But okay, I'm gonna use
the I'm gonna use feather fall on the trail, yeah, I guess,
and the food gently perfectly lands on the ground. Everything is, thank god,
all right? All right? In that case, Norman would not punch
a guy in the face. All right? Involved here, I mean,
it's not really The guy who fired the crossbow is now sort of backing off
cautiously as his crossbarrow shot missed as the blood Guards walked towards him. He
was, oh god, guys, I was so confident I was gonna hit
that. All right, I see the violence happening. It's the shark.
I'm gonna get involved? Is that? Okay, that's what you would do,
and the way I'm gonna do it is perfect. So I'm gonna hand
the guy the pa system. I'm then gonna turn back around and go,
actually, sorry, I need that, and I'm just gonna hurle it really
goddamn, who are you hurling it at? Are you hurling it at the
Blood Force or the guys that just trying to do it like and break it
up between them? You know what I mean, like where it's not trying
I'm not trying to kill anybody. I'm not even for a head. I'm
trying to like body shot both of them. It's just it's just like,
hey, I might break some bones, like ricochet it on both of them.
I thought you're trying to throw it in between them, but you're trying
to hit two targets with this. No, No, I am like between
them like trying to like, I'm not going to hurt anybody. I'm just
trying to like, hey, fucking stop so it slams on the table between
them, which will catapult count. Someone lobes food into the air. You're
on this. I already used it again the food flies? Are you feather
fooling it? No, I'm not using another first level slop to save all
this food. Its flies of the air. I have my cheeseburger eating onto
the ground. I count someone Lobe stands up. He adjust his suit and
he goes, well, this is why I don't eat with the commonness.
Let's go, And he turns with his guards and they start to leave,
and the man with a ponytail turns around and goes, hey, get back
here, and one of the guards grabs his wrist and pushes him down to
the ground and sort of wrestles to the ground and then puts handcuffs on him
and escorts him out of the premises. Unless you guys want to do anything,
I mean, nobody's getting killed or anything right now. I'm not really
getting arrested. He's just getting hacking Accountsman, this doesn't involved. I might
just let that beef, now, you said. The guy with the ponytail
though, he had friends and they came out with him. His friends have
started to run away, and I'm gonna grab one of them, okay,
if I can I see him getting arrested. If they're making a break from
I'm just gonna grab the guy. Hey wo woah, woa wait wait wait
wait whoa well, the guy that you grab is actually a human, not
a sulkin. Oh yeah, sulkh you're like me, Hey, you're like
me. You're just like, sorry, it's a movie thing. Continue,
okay, listen, and I look over the blood face. They're not coming
for this guy, are they. They're on their way out. They've arrested
a guy. The other one sort of gave the other ones menacing looks,
but on their way out because Lobe told them to leave. Okay, so
now they're they're leaving the premises and the wager goes, hey, you you
haven't you haven't paid, and the Blood Force gives them an angry look.
He said, all right, no, it's free. It's all good.
Turn I turned. I turned to the party after I see the blood face
and get their free food by giving angry look. We need to try that
later. And these chicken nuggies are amazing though, Oh my goodness, maybe
this sounds not so bad after all. So I've got this guy and I'm
gonna what are you doing? My name is Ven. Ven Do I look
like I'm with the Blood Force? Come on? Oh no, you you
actually look a bit odd with that pink spandex. It doesn't really suit you.
I mean, I didn't ask you for a fashion advice. Fashion police.
Here he's wearing like black clothes but he has this like black clothes,
but he has a green line that goes across his arm, like a wavy
green line that goes across his arm. He's also wearing a bandana that's black
and green. All right, you might have a pretty cool outfit. Listen
to my friend bought me this. Okay, fantastic opportunity to go. Oh
you think I should change and then transform? You don't like this? The
thing is anything he transforms into still wears the pink spandel look. Look,
look anyway. I just want to know what that was about, because me
and my friends were new here and we need as much information as we can
get. I heard something about a key. Uh. I don't know who
you guys are. I don't and his friend has already scampered out the window
rusted. I want to you get the this, but I want to do
something with the councilman after this, So I'm just Councilman's left ship. Well
yeah, yeah, he did walk out the front of ye I don't he
looks around? How Why should I trust you guys? You don't really have
a choice. Are you gonna kill me? I didn't say that. The
look that you're giving says, I didn't say that, but yes, here's
the thing, buddy. Then, yeah, A lot of lives rest on
us acquiring information and getting something in the city. Okay, thousands of lives.
Do you work for the brain? Who are you guys? We're from
out of town, your newcomers. We're having a newcomers in months. He
just got here today. Oh oh oh oh oh. He calmed down,
bro, calm down. Oh okay. He looks around at all the other
people of the restaurant who are definitely now like looking over. Can we go
somewhere a little bit more secluded private? Yeah? Sure, I know you
lead the way. Where to go? I know a really good alleyway.
I take my take my salad. Can I have a a go box for
this? Are you going to pay? I love that you're comping our meal
in exchange for breaking up that fight, and you know, to make up
for the fact that your PA system almost fell on me. I really appreciate,
man. This has to be some sort of role for that. You
also dropped You also dropped my food on the floor, and I still ate
it now. I also got genuine yeah, and I ye yeah yeah yeah.
And also I use places in violation of the shot. I have an
advantaged persuasion role. Yeah, I'd rather be intimidation, so I say,
I do it while hoisting my bat. Sure, all right, you have
an advantage on this. Fourteen is good enough. He goes, Why am
I so bad and intimidating people? Fine? Fine, just just leave.
Listen. I didn't even want your Cerebrian coins. It's all good. It's
okay, it's free. It's free Burger Tuesday. That is a damn good
burger. Thank you. Shark very earnestly goes, oh, I didn't order
a burger. It's just all right, guys. Let's let's just get out
of here. Yeah, let's go talk in the underscript alleyway. That's probably
safe. Okay, So you you go to He leads you out. He
looks around shiftily, and he needs your big party all the way to all
eight of us, all eight of you. He goes, okay, getting
here, you guys aren't testicle avenue. Oh fabulous. Wait, I genuinely
did understand what you said. So the shark in the alley goes, what
testical avenue? It's by it's by dicks said that? Okay, I thought,
Yeah, sporting goods. No, No, Dick's pleasure Palace, listen,
force a little bit more lenient around here. They know that it brings
good like business, and Dicks pays quite a lot of Cerebrium coins back to
general Bone. Anyway, the blood flows heavily to the Dick. The blood
flows heavily to the Dick. Is very good. Yeah, and they use
the place a lot sometimes. Sometimes they have big parties every morning. Every
morning, every morning they have a big party where all of the blood florce
come to Dick's pleasure Palaces right around the time the left foot gets a little
bit colder, taking a sock off. Very good, very good sucks for
people that live down there anyway. Sorry, you guys are newcomers a part
of a group called the System. I don't know if you've noticed, but
things are a little bit, shall we say, corrupt round here. The
brain led by Chairman Cerebraum. He he controls everything. But we the system,
we want to we want to show him we're not to be messed with.
I could I could bring you to our leader and he could say,
he could explain more if you want to. But what's this key? Oh
yeah, it's a key to one of the valves to the chamber of life.
Oh okay, the chamber of life has four valves. If you know
what the chamber of life is, the chamber of life is that big spherical
Oh yeah, we we we've an inside. We're seeing the heart of Corpus.
Like to get in there actually and look around. Oh that's our that's
our opportunity as well. We want to perfect, We want to I think
I think we should talk to your leader. Yeah, yeah, great,
yeah, this is perfect. I mean people call us radicals and terrorists,
but are you no, we're freedom fighters with the sun. Okay, yeah,
hell yeah, yeah, we're the only ones who have the nerve.
I would imagine there's a lot of body puns in this place. Yeah yeah,
okay, do you want to you do you want to bring that?
Do you want to go visit his boss? Yeah? I mean yeah,
might as well give an idea. Yeah, in the in the spine,
oh the spine where we managed to rig up our own elevated the blood force
even found out about near the back of corpus. Okay, that do you
want to do? You want to drink it at Dicks before we go?
I'm thirst? Yeah, I have a beer. Okay, yeah, flash
cart, you guys have a beer anyway, and then you go we just
stop have a drink, alright. You guys threw a lot of the back
alleys of the town, trying to avoid obvious Blood Force members until you reach
the back and there he enters into this building which is like a laundromat,
like a washing building. And now the back door of it leads to this
small, very cramped little area, and in that area is a it's like
a one person elevator, and he goes, is it up to code?
It's definitely not up to code. I'll get to it, and we you
guys have to go up one by what the space to you guys, we
we only had enough space to anything bigger and they would notice. But you
have to go up one by one, and that's where we have to hide
out, all right, Okay, it wants to go up first, I'll
do it. I'm the safety inspector. I'll make sure we don't they and
all eight of you go up one by one, ju juom, and you
eventually reached this shady little area and it's it's quite a cramped small area and
there's a couple of guys there in black jumpsuits with green lines around their arms.
And at there, at the end of this little opened area, there's
a man sitting on a pile of boxes and he's playing with a knife.
And he goes new blooder unless ven's been taken over by the Blood Force and
we've been exposed, but the fact that will still alive, I assume that
you guys are here to help us. And he turns round and his hair
is like half black, half green. Okay, how he looks very edgy,
like a proper like sEH. He's got like a black green scarf balaclava
over his nose and mouth, and he's playing with a knife in one hand,
flipping it in his fingers. So well as it happens, I think
our interests kind of a line. Yeah, we hear you're trying to get
into the chamber of life. Mhmm, yes we are. Wow, you
guys newcomers. I don't recognize your faces. Yeah, fresh end today.
Ye. Well, my name is Nerve and I'm the leader of this system,
all right, Yeah, this nervous system. He seems pretty confident to
me. I wouldn't say he's nervous. Nah, how nervous does he look
actually, he looks pretty confident, but he looks a bit stressed. I
would say, Okay, he looks a little stressed. Who's the guy that
would be stopping everyone from leaving if someone wanted to leave, the guy that,
like the guy in charge Chaman Cerebraum, doesn't let anyone leave, all
right, Okay, I don't even if it was an emergency, like the
whole place caught on fire. Hypothetically, I know, because he's perfectly safe
in the brain with the rest of his councilman, this is the place that
he can assert his authority. He knows that if people leave, he has
no power over them anymore. But that's a system that we've got a break.
We want to prove to him and the rest of the brain and the
rest of his fucking organs that we are the people that can make a difference
in this world. We want to take this whole city and send it crumbling.
Oh well, well, I mean I'd rather have nobody die if that
happens. Yeah, but people die all the time because it is oppressive regime.
Theoretically, yeah, if there was a way to literally make the city
collapse and crumble, yeah, hypothetically, not hyperth you. Yeah, you
would take that. We are. Our plan is to take the heart and
crumble the city. And what about the people inside of it? They are
all servant cerebrum. That also if they don't join our cause they're actively against
us, well you would die too, Yeah, wouldn't you die? Well?
You know, I'm a martyr Jesus Christ. Who does this? Wait,
who does it benefit if you destroy the city? If you including yourselves,
You're not understanding me correctly. I'm not doing this so that we live
a better paradise free life. I'm doing this for the for the hundreds of
years that people have been that we I want to so cerebrum that everything can
come crumbling down. Okay, so this is just like a middle finger to
the establishment and just scorched her. I just kill everybody and just destroy everything.
And I'm not gonna show anything to anybody. You're gonna kill thousands.
Counter argument. Counter argument awkwardly goes, I'm gonna pee. I have too,
Anthony and the sharko piece. Listen, we just we have a whole
counter counter argument. You guys want to see the counsel defeated, kind of
right and lose you want us, you want to come crumbling down? What
if we helped you guys defeat the counsel? How to general bonus foughts?
Who strong? My name is Norman Brigatoni in the air, I ain't scared,
and nobody he's like poking as partio. You guys seen this. We
already our plan was to try to take the heart as well, but we
didn't want to kill everyone in the process. So we're thinking we defeat the
brain and the council. People have a choice to leave and are set free,
and then we make it go crumble in down. Anyway, a few
of my men have had a problem with my scorched earth strategy. Some of
them have yeah, Ven's like yeah, I say that we evacuate everyone in
the legs and then we do it. Thank you Van, Just the legs,
not the okay, well, the legs were without everyone nying kind.
Everyone who lives in the arms is the bourgeoisie, right, eat the rich
they all should die. The legs that's where the real men, the hard
workers, they live. Right. If you start evacuating the arms as well,
people will get suspicious. Legs are easy to evacuate. I'm just saying,
let people have a choice to leave, and this way you achieve your
goal. But also not everyone's dead, you know, yes, I maybe
maybe that's a little bit that maybe that's a little bit idealistic. If you
if you have a way of taking on the entire blood force, you can
you know, you can die, die trying whatever. And but that's what
I turned to the boys another height. Sorry I had to take a piss.
Wait, we're going on another hoist. Okay, but there are four
valves connected to the the the Chamber of Life, and yeah, Chairman Cerebraum,
Councilman Lobe, General bone An, Archbishop Pomo each have a key.
M hmm, okay, can you just lock pick the doors? No,
then it's not try I say, key. It's not a physical key.
Okay, yeah, better, it's some kind of magical thing. All right,
listen, we obviously didn't introduce ourselves. Probably we are the Otherworldly Brewery,
a collection of this land's strongest fighters. I've never heard of you.
You live in a GOALM. Yeah, I guess so, I guess,
yeah, But I mean you look like a fun assortment. You've got a
dog. We do have a dog. I've only ever seen dogs and books.
Hold up real quick. The shark is gonna get back and he's gonna
see you trying to intimidate someone and he goes, oh, do you do
you need me to real fuck him up. I think we're good. I
think I think he's on our side. I think we're good. Okay,
Norman did that thing he did where he like floats and levitates, and that
really impressed them. So yeah, there you go. But you do see
we if we can take out the top brass, the Big four and take
their keys, the Blood Force won't have anyone to follow. That's a good
point. Yeah, they don't get paid. They're just not gonna you know,
they they don't. There's not enough. They wi mal nourished and weak.
I hate to admit it, but we never sort of could stand a
chance against the Blood Force. But so we've been trying other methods, you
know, pickpocketing, stealing, that sort of thing. I had a man
go out tonight. He had a poisoned arrow that was going to put accountsman
to sleep. I haven't yet seeing how that's turned out. Oh yeah,
right, yeah, it didn't work. It didn't work. I mean,
the guy that was snuck up on him, like he snuck up behind,
like I ordered them to infiltrate, like h kitchen staff hit him with the
arrow. He kind of just walked in and missed the arrow, kind of
walked right up to the dating a sandwich. Yeah, I mean it wasn't
at least it was a sneak attack. He just missed or bounced off.
I can't remember. Yeah, right, where is he now? He got
arrested. He got arrested. A fuck? You think he'll leak the location
of this place? He might. He's very weak willed. Ah ship,
Well, you probably should be getting out of here. Then it's fine.
Yeah, you guys really go somewhere else, re establish ourselves. We're gonna
take care of these guys. Okay, try to set up the shop in
the appendix or something. Do you have a common of strong fighters you could
send with us? Or are you guys this all week? I'm strong?
He turns up. He he stands up, his four sulken arms. They
all have knives in him. Maybe not physically strong, but I'm definitely the
most proficient fighter. I know when to strike the exact nervous points. Well,
why don't why don't you join us? In help lead us. That
we don't exactly know the layout of this land. True, yeah, right,
we need someone who knows his place. Well, if you want someone
who knows this place, there's Parasmos. Oh that yeah, I mean he
showed us around a bit. Yeah, he knows everything. Yeah, but
he's not going to help us. Oh no, I going to help us
bring him up then, but he's kind of need We need someone that knows
the place. While we're doing the heights, they're not trying to arrest us
or report us. Yeah, he would probably try and report us, but
that's because he lives in an oppressive society. Yes, there's what we need
to do. Yeah, we need to kill or incapacitate or capture all four
of these guys in quick succession. Yes. Otherwise, if we'd take out
one and they're like one of our guys got killed, they're gonna like lockdown
security all the guards. Here's the question. Do you have pictures or photos
of what these guys all look like? Yes? I have drawing O I
could look at those. He points over at a guy in the corners who's
got like a sketchbook. Oh nice, yeah, and he rushes over and
he puts down the four pictures of the guys. Chairman Cerebrum has a huge
fucking forehead, forehead, big head. He's yeah yeah, and he's he's
in like a big robe and he's got a huge smile on his face.
Then there's General Bone, who's like very skinny, and he's he's missing his
nose, and he's in this very complicated red armor with like white streaks across
it, and he's got this very sinister look in his eyes. Then Councilman
Lobe you already met, who's very posh looking. He did have a mustache.
I don't want to say that it was him before. And I don't
really like the idea of us splitting up to try to take out more.
I have an idea, so with it, with these full body sketches,
would you allow me, could I use disguise self to look like one of
these dudes? You would look like one of these dudes in black and white?
Is what is that? What disguise self does? But like you don't
know what the colors? Well, he can guess. I guess I can
guess because he set a red armor more stolifically, he has more specifically the
councilman. I saw him in real life. With the drawing and with my
memory of what he I could transform into him. Yeah so yeah, yeah,
yeah. I mean my idea is to like transform into the councilman,
go up to one of these other dudes and be like, hey, I
need to have a chat with you. Okay, buddy, how you you
know? And then just fine. So I'd say the one, the only
one you could probably transform into his council when low because you saw him,
all right, that's fair. The others I'd have to guess at their outfits
a hair colors and skin tone and ship. Yeah. I think we also
need to attack at night. Does night even mean anything in here? I
mean people still have to sleep, right, right if we attack when the
attack during sleeping hours? Yeah okay, yeah, I'm saying heights are always
better at night from the movies I've seen, and like, don't somebody don't
want them to report to the others when we defeat someone. So it's gonna
be a quickly session one night of murder, right, that might be difficult.
Why we don't have day and night here, what we do have is
movement and and still so the GOLM moves at night. Oh and so we
know it's nighttime because things start moving around. But we strap ourselves into our
beds at night to make sure that we That sounds like a terrible night's sleep.
That's a homeless population. They just fucking die. Just just oh my
god, that's another safety. They're like, oh my god, why don't
we try while they're strapped into the beds. These leaders, he moves very
slowly, so it's not terrible. Okay, it's not like it's not like
but it is a little bit like an earthquake. So does the chairman like
stop using his son magic or whatever when the movement's happening. Uh, the
sorry another chairman, the bishop. Yeah, yeah, I mean we have
just lighting lamps and stuff everywhere. Okay. And also they are the least
affected by the movement in the brain in the head, yeah, I guess
the people on the feet the people probably that's why that's the poor place to
live, the legs, because they're the ones who get fucked during the night.
Well, the Pleasure Palace though, would be swinging. Oh yeah,
yes, have you had a visit there yet? Oh? We had a
beer there. It was like it took like thirty minutes and just chilled out
for a bit. How many hours would you say until the golem starts moving
again? He looks at a clock on the wall. We've got a good
like five six hours, I'd say, I want to Can we kill four
people in six hours? Easily? We're going to permanently incapacitate, permanently incapacitate,
and we knock out. If we know where all four of them are
gonna be, then yeah, right, Well we have some idea, but
we don't have entirely. We know that General bon Bone does his rounds throughout
the body. Uh, he definitely has a We know General Bone is the
one we know the most of where he is at any given time. Okay,
he has a schedule that we've stolen him. Well, if that's the
case, I could transform into the councilman. Dude, go where the Bone
guy is and be like, oh, hey man, how you been.
You're just doing your rounds, And that could just sneak up on him and
steal it or incapacitate or whatever I need to do. But he is the
strongest out of the fall a catch twenty two. Yeah, but I mean
we want to hit him at full strength. Then yeah, let's just do
that. I guess we should probably do him first then yeah, and does
bone control yeah, blood force, Yes, but if he goes down,
the chairman would take over. But I would be the chairman at that point.
You would be the councilman. No, but he could just disguise himself
as the General. Yeah, nobody needs like the General is dead, we
need to find him. You have to get him alone. If we're going
to do this though, Yeah, yeah, that's gonna be he patrolled by
himself or with his are definitely with people. But if we could take out
those people as well. Yeah. Yeah. If theres no witnesses and you
transform into the General, he could get this evacuation going tonight. It shitt
of consciousness, not kill yeah, yeah, knock out. Yeah, I
don't want I'm a firefighter. I don't want to kill people. Yeah.
But you know, well, at this time day, let me check he
checks his schedule. He'd be patrolling down the right arm and making his way
to the hand that's kind of out in the mill of nowhere. Compared to
the rest of the body. He's separated from the rest of the body.
At least he's cornered Yeah, he's doing left, and then he does he
does the legs, and then he finishes off and dicks. Of course,
everybody finishes the dis Here's the question. Do you know how thick the walls
are of the gold, how thick thick we've tried digging through. We can't
even make a dent. Okay, never mind, all right, I mean,
if we cracked this guy down, we gotta get moving. If we're
gonna do this to ye, I'm trying to do better as a party companion.
I know my strengths and weaknesses. Please don't give me a job that's
going to require a lot of thought. Is there a part of this plan
that requires a distraction and or someone to make a scene. I'm quite probably.
I actually think this is going to be pretty straightforward. If we can
corner him in a quiet area of whatever it is the hand, Yeah,
we just descend on him, like, here's what we'll do. Get him,
go up to him. I'll you know, we plan something. You
guys go into a building. I'll transform into the council and go up.
It's like, hey, bones, we have to have a chat and I
think you know about what. And then he might take a couple of guards
with him, that's fine, you know, just get him separated. We
could take like him and maybe two of his guards. I'll try to get
it so as many few guards as possible. But yeah, we could do
that now, I like that. But the guards that are left, they're
still gonna if he doesn't, you know, come back really quickly, they're
gonna get suspicious. That's true. If you draw away the general, should
we try and whack the guards? I think we might have to split our
forces a bit here, and that's not a good idea. We could have
Bone Slaw and yog take care of the remaining guards, and then I'll learn
the Bone guy and do a fucking yeah, if we think these two are
strong enough for that. You think the shark you know about the guards?
Do you think Bone Slaw Yo could take a couple of them? There is
another issue though, Yes, what's that Regular citizens cannot enter the arms unless
you have property there. It's because it's like upper class living. How many
people. Well, if we have a lot of money and where do you
know the guy about buying property in the hands or he wanted us to do
that? Yea, So maybe you've got to buy the property. First,
I have this perfect where I mean, where is the councilman's property. Briggs
just made a beautiful point. This person's lying to us, because how do
you buy property without seeing it? You must be able to get in some
way. Well, he's not, like, but that is true. That
is truth. If we start the process of persons sing something, they're gonna
the're gonna give us a tour that real quick now and try to get to
the hands. The councilman lives in the neck by the way, Okay,
so we can't get through with I mean, if I transform into the councilman,
I could walk in with you guys, and then you guys could go
somewhere and then I find the skull guy and then bring him over. Yeah,
I could do that. Well, it doesn't sound like you'd be allowed,
and as a councilman, I wouldn't be is he is he he's not
a regular sitience citizen. Yah. Yeah, a councilman would probably be able
to get through. Yeah see there, I mean, yeah, if you
just pretend there's some emergency and you need to take us to the general,
who you know is in the hand exactly, I could just do that.
You gotta let us past man. I didn't know there were people out there
who could just magically take on the form of other people. I know.
It's not magic here, uh, I mean only the archbishop and the chairman.
He don't have it on my sheet. It's disguise self. Yeah,
m I just want to see how long it lost full an hour? Okay,
Oh yeah, that is very important. It would take a while to
get to that to the hands like, I wouldn't transform. I wouldn't transform
on the way I do it, like when we're getting close to the Oh
no, but that's exactly the point is. You guys are saying that you
would be to get from the should the way you enter. Yeah, yeah,
I can up. I could use it again. I would just do
it twice. That's do it twice. Yeah, that's fine. Yeah,
Oh shit, all right, that's let's start all right, all right,
moments cute come out looking different. What is giving you the disguise self?
It's a spell that I learned. Oh I have those ship that's all that
stuff in my sheet. That's just the basic shit I got like a while
ago, Like those ones that are already pre prepared. That's the stuff I
get from being an artificer. Okay, and then I've switched out my spells
a couple of times. That's like back when, like level seven when I
started. Alright, alright, alright, you've got this has been in the
This has been in the I can see you looking at it. This,
it's been in my stack for a while. Now I add this because you
are similar to a wizard where you have prepared spells. You know what I
mean. Yes, so, yes, you've got to update your sheet with
your prepared spells because we cannot have a situation where you're suddenly like, oh,
by the way, I have the best breastedge. I have this as
a stack every single time. Yes, there is a lot of spells.
Okay. I just wanted to make sure. Okay, so you are going
to transform into councilman lobe okay, Yes, I do want to say,
look at one thing about the sky's self, because it does have one caveat
right, That is, you cannot make yourself a foot. I can make
myself a foot shorter or taller. If anybody touches me, that's going to
be a problem. Uh, it's like a whole note. You can't change
your body type. So you must adopt a form that has the same rate
basic arrangement of limbs. Is he a sulkin. He's a sulkin, So
you're gonna be a two armed councilman. Lobe. Could I have two arms
that I just like something that like attached to my body and then use the
skuy self. I mean, you guys still have the sulkin body suits,
so you could take the arms off of that and attached. Or I could
turn ya not ya bone slaw into the councilman. Yeah, I guess you
could turn the bone sloor into the councilman. Now it's range self. I
have to use it on myself. Okay, okay, we could do the
body suit idea that we could just do that again. Yeah, why don't
we just put the other two like parts of the coat in your pocket?
I honestly, yeah, something like that, just to fake it, you
like, fluff it up put some Yeah. I was thinking like that,
like like that that could just those hands could just be in like your pocket.
I just wanted some and they do a deception thing for that. But
I'm just saying that there is there is ever so slight floor in your disguise
potentially. Okay, so you you do you cast it on yourself now or
you not until we actually start getting close to the arm or the shoulder.
Okay, so are you leaving anybody here? Are you taking full gang?
We might need the full gang for this. Okay, full gang rolls out
or nine of you now individually go down the escalator enter and you you you
nerve is very much like keeping low. He's covering his face. He's actually
wearing a mask as he's hiding behind you, guys, as you walk to
the elbow canonically and as you guys saw this, as you guys saw the
stone giant. He is t posing when he sleeps, so his arms are
like this, right, so the hand instead of being downwards that he's t
posing. That's not very comfortable. Well it's comfortable for him, you know.
So he's he's t posing. And you get to the shoulder and there's
a an elevator but it's like one of the ones that go sideways. What
are they called trains? Yeah, so it's yeah trams. Right, Yeah,
quick, quick little thing, guys. When we do isolate this general
guy code word, or we pineapple juice for us, they get a surprise
pineapple juice. Okay, okay, like you have a nice refreshing glass of
pineapple, you know. Yeah, okay, okay. So you get to
the shoulder and there's a train there, but it's it's just like carriages.
It's like open air. It's just a thing attached to the rail and it
goes back and forth, and the thing is labeled. There's actually two there,
and one of them is currently at the at the shoulder, there is
a train conductor there and he's just all right. He's sitting there with his
little train conductor uniform and he looks. So if we if this is like
a first checkpoint where they're gonna like let us in, okay, then I'm
gonna have to go somewhere and transform them. Okay, okay, you you
put on the body suit, and you put on the body so I'm gonna
have to doff my armor to make this work. Take off my armor,
put on the body suit, cast disguy's self, all right, and now
you're councilman lobe. All right. Then we'll go. And as you approach,
the train, conductor immediately salutes is with us, right, yeah,
but like I imagine disguises, no no, no, but I'm imagining that
councilman Lobe is approaching without you guys immediately. Are you guys all coming out
together? It would be odd if we approached after him. That's a good
point, which is like his retinue, right, yeah, you're my like
you're my staff. Yeah, so it is. Yeah, that's a good
point. Is Nerve with you? Because he is a wanted criminal? Is
he? He's got a mask on? But but it's not a very good
one, Norman, give him your hoodie. I don't know what if what
if you would have cost? I'm assuming Nerve says this, who was on
the way like number one terrorist? Shit? All right? If if you
were captured, who is the one person in this body want to see you
the most? General? Yeah, that's actually not bad. Okay, we
could do that well with that. We arrest you and we're taking you to
General Bone. Okay, it's a really good idea. That's a good idea.
Let's do that, okay, and we'll be the three bounty hunters that
you hired together. Yeah yeah, yeah, And I was out of town.
He brought us in his bouny hunters. We're not in the blood force
to General Bone. I like this idea, we should maybe take him up
a little bit like yeah, not but just like yeah we have we have
rope. Yeah, Cody does one of those knots where like it looks like
a proper nut, but if you just pull on the inside, it just
loosen. Okayn, he's good with nuts. He used to do a lot
of nerve. Can you break out of this if you needed to? Yeah?
I think so. Okay, we're fine, mister Green. What did
you say? I said? Can we roll to see how good the fake
knots are could be? Just like you fail, you actually tie agree.
Here's the thing, Cody. Cody would insist on tying the knots. He
did. He was a coast guy. He was here you go a lot
with his dad. He did survival training. So if you need a role,
I can do a role. Okay, yeah, do a survival role.
Then we have to do the role. Yeah you're good. Yeah,
okay, perfect knots easily. It's an impeccable not Cody. Yeah, it's
one that's a quick slip knot. If he like pulls on the inside,
I'll come right. But it looks like convincing, right Yeah, all right,
you guys all right, so we're doing this, we're approaching that.
Okay, whoa lobe? Welcome? What are you doing here? Thank you?
I need to go speak with General What was this? Out of character?
What was the guy's named? General Bone? Right? Yeah, okay,
it's like, hello, yeah, I have to speak with General Bone.
I have something that would be very interested in. He's just doing his
roans. I'm aware of his schedule. Son. Now let us in we
have some I have something very important to give you sound a little different,
but uh I can I try to mimic the way he talked, because I
would have heard the way he speaks. Yeah, can you at least his
his the roughness of this to give me your impression of him? Well,
I don't remember, Well, how did he speak at the restaurant? Who
sort of talked like this? General Lope? He's I mean, it's like,
oh yeah, Simon, General Lope. Nice to meet you. Yes,
there you go. I could do a performance if you want me to.
Yeah, I'm kind of maybe shooting myself in the foot here. No
no, no, no, no, no, he's fine. He's conductor
is fine. Okay, okay, that's at all he guess. But but
if you see like the president of the fucking United States. You're gonna be
like, you don't sound like look like you know, he's not the president.
He's a yeah yeah, but still okay around here, he knows who
the fuck he is. You're not gonna be like, wait a second,
all right, okay, okay, uh, I'm gonna start walking in.
Okay, he leaves a certain dominance. Yeah, he's all right, right
this way, sir, and he pulls out to he Who are these guys.
This is the crew that helped capture a wanted terrorist. This is a
bounty hunter crew I brought in from outside of town and their dog outside us.
Don't ask, I won't. Yeah, you're gonna we're gonna get going
or what? Of course? All right? Should I send you right to
the hand, Get us to bone as quick as possible. Okay, he's
currently in the thumb, all right, take us to the thumb. Then
right this stops at the hand. You have to walk to the thumb.
I don't I get it. Just let's go. Come on, Yeah,
okay, I know I should weird thing that you would say, and oh
my god, you know what I meant. Let's go. God, she's
just like this is exactly like, Loube, you got up. My god,
I don't need to know every single fucking detail about you being a tram
conductor. Just let's go and and you sorry, I'm sick. You don't
give us sick days. Let me. I just look at him with the
look of disappointment, like I've done with your ship for today. Ok,
let's go. Sorry, so sorry, sorry, And he activates the tram
and it goes, it flies off down the track. As speeding down the
track, everyone goes, whoah, you see you're flying past these nicer looking
homes in the arm. There's like a river as well. It's really nice.
And until you eventually reach the hand and the hand is these lovely district
and there's these huge homes built into each finger with their own estate and everything
like that. Oh yeah, did you I rolled for the shark doing constitutions,
so he would have never gone above, like oh god right, yeah,
he would have lost his goddamn But you reach the hand area and you
get off, just walk out. Yeah all right. So around the hand
and like in the fingers and stuff, it's it's more like big houses parks,
I kind of so it's not nearly as populated as the Okay, very
good. There was only there was one old lady out at the moment,
and she's just walking around and she sees it arrive, but she's minding her
own business. But okay, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna say anything to
her. All right, great, this guy, this guy on person,
it seems like kind of an asshole. I don't think he would talk to
a little like little asshole ish. Yeah, yeah, okay, you're heading
to the Thumb. Ah yeah, okay. You you walk into the you
walk towards the Thumb, and as you get close to the Thumb, there's
a couple of Blood Force members and they salute you as you pass by,
and then sort of eye up the people behind you, but they don't ask
any questions. And then you notice in the distance you see a he's frail
looking man without a nose, and he's talking to one of his Blood Force
members and he's pointing at something in the house. And that Blood Force member
like goes inside this this estate house and there's like an old man next to
him who's like also like bowing his head and saying something. Okay, as
we're approaching, if it's just our group and there's no one else does it
immediately? Sorry before does it look like this old man is sort of being
victimized by by the general here? He looks apologetic. Okay, okay,
he's being somewhat mhm. I just I just because I'm one of the people
like carrying Nerve along. I just want to point out I'm trying to I'm
trying to slightly de radical. Yeah, like, look, he has a
better way of living than the people down on the legs, but he's still
a victim of these guys. Yeah, he's just being told off. It's
more like a child of a of a parent being scolded. It's not like
the people and the legs who die every day. What is I'm just saying,
everyone here is under their thumb. Oh they we're literally in the thumb.
It's a good pun, right, it's very I like that. Maybe
maybe everyone shouldn't die, that's all. It took ton of fun of word
play. Okay, Oh my god, the puns saved the day yet again,
So are you approaching as a group or by not yet? Not yet.
I'm gonna have a chat with Nerve really quick. I'm like, all
right, do you know this place. Well, no, I've never been
here. Okay, well, we need a place to jump him. And
do I see any place around here that looks abandoned like a house? That's
first. Do we see any houses for sale? You're in the thumb now,
and there is there is I'd say three houses built into the thumb,
but they all are not for sale. They all do they look lived in?
They? Yes? Okay, all right, how is the space we're
in? Is there like, is there anywhere around here? Is it just
an empty plane? And then houses? Like? Is there anything freeze?
There's there's a pond. You think of it like a big estate with three
houses at a field. Okay, so there's like instead of a sky,
it's just a doomed right, there's tree there's tree cover. Yeah, okay,
there's a little forested area, and be like, we tell him you
need to talk to him somewhere in private. Word, Yeah, that's what
I was going to say. But I need to find place ears could see
us. Yeah, I'm thinking over in that little like little forested area,
but next to the pond, that's probably that's it's probably our best bet.
Okay, all right, all right, here we go. Then I guess
okay, you walk up to him, turn around, hey bone, councilman
lobe, Yeah, you don't usually come out here that I do not,
But I have something that I think you would be interested in. And I
kind of like point behind me, like my my gesture at nerve as Cody's
holding him all right, he and I also kind of moved my head like
I think we should over here. Is that nerve? I see? M
right, I think we should talk in private here, and I kind of
gesture toward the pond area. I whisper to nerve act angry. F I
clock him in the nose. I'm just like, damn sorry, quite down
you court. He's doing an accent. Oh why you just hit a hand
over nerve. Right, I have some other issues we need to discuss in
private. In private, H well, hand over the boy and we'll talk
about this later. I'm dealing with this guy. He turns around to the
to the old man and says, this place is not up to scratch.
We have to set a precedent. The chairman cares out, look, okay,
and when the thumb isn't up to scratch, the whole hand's not up
to scratch. And when the whole hand's not up to scratch. The arms
suffers, and when the arms suffers, the whole body suffers. You understand,
Yes, sorry, I just I just knocked the vase over I was
cleaning over. Unacceptable, this happens again. We're for selling your house and
you're moving to the legs. All right, bone, you got I have
something you really need to hear right now. It's a big deal right now.
Okay, it's this guy, this piece of shit back here said he
was the head of all this. It's not just him. There's somebody even
bigger and we both know him very well. Oh interesting, we have to
have a chat about this, something that you don't think by blood for shit
here. Nope, we need we need. I'll let you do deception or
persuasion. I think they're both relatively probably. I'll just can can hatchika Yeah
yeah, now, okay, you have body again. Partner conspiration. That's
a what a plus D? What is that agains a D eight? So
just a D. Okay, I'm gonna use deception because that is what I'm
trying to do. And then that's not bad. You have to and I
have to roll the D eight three Okay, nineteen nineteen is good enough for
him. I wanted to get higher than eighteen. Oh my god. So
because yeah, that's his insight. All right. Well uh, he signals
over to his blood force to to to square up and take Nerve away from
Cody. So they grab nerve, take nerves. I'm gonna have to keep
in character here, okay. So yeah, Cody, they take Nove away
from you guys and know he's my captive. Well you're let him go,
It's all right, all right, sir. Nove looks over at you guys
like, is this part of the plan? And they take and then count
someone. They're just gonna hold him here, right, They're not going anywhere
with yea, yeah, yeah that they are holding him here. Bone hasn't
left yet. They have him by one arm each, and a third one
comes up and just punches him in the face. All right, Yeah,
that's what my brother the blind fears. No, no, not for them,
just full pause by the wall. And not only punched the desk,
but I punched the sharp edge of it. There's padding in your them all
around you punch it punched the one hord thing in that room. I didn't
mean it. Stop punch motion. I thought I would touch the year.
I genuinely went full force. Does it hurt? Really? Fuck? You
might have just fractured a fucking bone because we wanted to have a character.
I'm good. So you all to the tree in the lake tree, little
Ton, little romantic area. Honestly kind of I'm guessing this is only Anthony
that's allowed to go over. Yeah, yeah, just Anthony. The rest
of us are just with the guys. I'm gonna be in how many out
of currently there are one, two, three, four, five, six?
Okay? Six? Shouting distance I'm I'm in though, yeah, okay,
can I U sleeps well? Prepare for that rusticch really quick. The
other two names of the guys there's Cerebrum and then who's the other dude?
Palma Palmer and Cerebrum. Okay, all right, so we're by ourselves right
now, just me and my poem Pomo Palmo. Okay, Okay, we're
okay, so just me at him then, right, Okay, So now
we finally captured Nerve. It should be a day to celebrate, you think.
So it's a bit fish to fry. He laid some hot news on
me. It's Palmo bone Pomo yep, tikes it orders directly from him and
he proved it too. Wow, that doesn't make any sense. Palmos were
the most fiercelessly loyal people I know. Well, who do you think would
be the one that would least suspect? But why I'm gonna try to angle
him where his back is to all of you guys. I'm so, I'm
kind of looking at you guys through the tree line. He's staring at me.
Okay, do you think it's it's like a divine she thinks she's going
crazy. That might have something to do with it. There's this password he
told me about though. It was apparently use it in the circles and then
you can, like, you know, Nerve told you about Yeah, exactly,
and the password was pineapple juice. As I say a little loudly,
should I try to cast sleep Yeah in the guards but to be continued,
you could do it? Yeah, So, yeah, Nerve told me about
this password. It's pineapple juice. And why are you shouting on it right
here in front of you? Yeah? And then and then immediately you guys
spring to action. But it is a top continued, Yeah, yep,
there we go a shatter cannon and right in the face. Can be careful
throwing those hands right what guys, I don't know. Oh God,
