Hey there, I hope you're having a great week. Overworked and Underplayed is
a not safe for work Dungeons and Dragons actual play podcast about a group of
incredible young professionals who find themselves transported to a strangely familiar place full of fantasy
and magic. See you attached for episode description and content warnings. Talk soon,
and thanks for listening. Thank you for joining me on Travaria News Network.
I'm Susie Amanda here to tell you about the news. Let's take you
to our sports correspondent, Hickory Smokes over to you, Hickory, Thank you,
Amanda. Yes, it's a beautiful day out here at the Trevaria Downs
where we're getting ready to start with the third round of the semi annual Death
Race. It's a very very exciting packed field today. There's a few crowd
favorites in the running today. We got Maximus and Ajax, but everyone's favorite
seems to be Valeria Thunderclap, the dwarf warlock with a penchant for ramming the
competition. Ha ha ha. So oh, hold on, it looks like
we're about to get started. They're about to go oh in, Thunderbolt Express
takes the lead, followed by the centaur with no name with galloping glory in
hot pursuit. Oh my goodness, a javelin just barely missed the centaur's rider.
I think that okay? Moving on? She quickly responds with her own
blast of ice. Oh my goodness, can you believe it? Oh?
This has been a very exciting start to the race, and I cannot wait
to see its conclusion. Thank you for your report, Hickory. We'll be
back at ten with the results. Greetings, my paid unpaid interns. I'm
Alex Capps. You're DM or district man and this is overworked and underplayed.
A D and D podcast, Four Young Professionals Buy Young Professionals today's icebreaker.
What has been the worst received gift you've ever given someone? What Up?
It's your boy? Marcel Hardy playing Richard Cox, a human consultant turned halfling
bard who holy believes it's better to be lucky than good, but it's best
to be both. And a gift that was received the worst that Richard has
given was probably season tickets. Is that what it's called a season pass to
six Flags? He was going out with this girl and they went on a
couple of days. He thought it was going really well. I was like,
oh, I'm spending like she's spending all this money. Maybe we should
both have season passes. And then they broke up. She's spending all this
money on you both to go to Seasblas. So she's paying for the dates.
She's paying for her. He has his season pass. It doesn't make
sense and so since she's going too, opens up a whole line of questioning
as to why Richard would have a season best just six flags. Is he
a roller coaster enthusiast? He does? Okay, I'm pretty sure it's come
up before it has has it? Oh? Well, serves me. Hello,
I'm annelin Hardy and I play Taylor Jacobs, a centaur barbarian with the
articles. The gift is that she like spent a lot of money making a
like plaque that's like super cute for Crystal, as like a client gift and
it's like best client ever or something super cheesy and cute like that. And
so what was Crystal like? I didn't want to say clearly it wasn't well
received, because that's the situation. I feel like Crystal would say thank you,
but in the adoring fan kind of thank you, Like if you're some
sort of pop star and your person comes up with a T shirt and it's
got their name and your name and they give it to you and you're like,
oh thanks, and she just like puts it away. So Taylor's like,
yes, yeah, I did cute hopefully. Hi everyone, I'm Katie
and I play Crystal the Drowdruid with her very own MLM Crystal Clarity. And
the least well received gift that Crystal has given that she did not know was
not well received is the leveling gift she gives to her downline. So,
hey, I'm Marchie. I play Amy and Amanda, a basic beat,
rough and tumble human fighter with a freshly minted dentistry degree. Ooh okay,
So the the worst received gift that she has given when she just started out
in her grad school, she made her sister something as like what else best
sister is like her youngest sister right after her And it was a plaque made
out of plaque. Oh, it made out of it. I'll pause at
how brilliant that is. We learned about an hour ago. I was like,
how did she even know how to make something out of plaque? Okay,
sorry, go ahead, idea collecting it And this is what I meant
by all of the crafting opportunities to stop you right here. I don't want
to know anything further. Okay, all right. It just wasn't well received
at that, probably because it was krusty. I didn't come up with the
idea until you said, plaque kind of quality of him. Tyler played the
Paladin and Bentley is. The worst received gift was the gift of advice of
the user that was particularly bad at remembering their passwords, so he suggested maybe
using a password manager. That way you only have the one to remember.
And they thought that he was calling them an idiot, which she was there,
but he thought he was doing it in a nice helpful way, like,
oh, there's this great tool where you can use it. It's a
password manager. Yeah, it's all protected and crypti but it greets a super
long password. It's much more secure. It'd be great for you. But
they saw through him and realized that he was calling him memor and wanted them
to stop calling him. Every week. Hey, listeners, this show is

last left off, the death Race had begun, Spears had flown, javelins
had grazed heads those some had stumbled but did not fault. We did not
follow your correct Dragons are struggling, and the Unicorn is catching up with the
ram and the Centaur. I just want you to know that I know a
person who has a pony named rainbow Fire, and that's what I wanted to
name the Unicorn. You guys had come to a fork in the road and
decided to take the road less traveled. I asked you at the end of
the last session to make a roll. I need Taylor Jacobs to roll a
dexterity saving throw, and then I need Crystal to make an animal handling check.
So Crystal, you will not have the D four. You did that
on purpose. I did do that on purpose. It's almost like I'm the
DM. Everything I do is on purpose. Almost thanks You're God, which
is fine, okay, little G, Little G, you're a god.
I mean one of many. In the lore setting, there's the okay,
Ben, there's the idea. Actually, hey, do you want me to
call tour and see what he thinks about this? Do we get the D
four for this one? You do? I don't? I got an eighteen
eighteen? Good? What did Taylor Jacobs get twenty twenty one? Okay?
So as you step onto the bridge, like, as you head that way
towards the wooden bridge over the tar pit, you hear Valaria and Astrid both
kind of laugh. They're like amateur going for the bait. And as you
guys step onto the bridge, you feel that it begins to wobble as it
is secured only down the middle. So you're balancing your way through this.
Your twenty one saved you? Okay? And would my you grip her horse
body tight as you almost fall off as she begins rocking back and forth as
she's going across. Would you consider this difficult terrain as Crystal's grip to hold
tight? You would see the tar is bubbling. It is very hot.
Yell all right, So that is going to slow you guys down just a
little bit. And so as you're carefully crossing this bridge, you look back
and you would actually see Ajax take his great acts and removes Maximus's head from
his shoulders as he tries to pass him, and you hear over the announcement
thunderhoof. Oh that's one down today. I hope nobody or feel bad for
anybody betting on Maximus swift Wind. You can go ahead and count him out
for the rest of today's matches and forever. Honestly, Oh well, come
down down there. I grab I grab on to Richard's like shins on either
side of my on my shoulders. Oh my god, is there anything we
can do? They're gonna die down there, you guys. So what you
guys would see some of the people in the crowd start cheering, like a
Jax Jax, Hey, Jaxy Jax. I think we're in the wrong fan
section. It's kind of crazy that we don't have a fan section. It's
kind of crazy that Ajax was able to kill him. He had ten to
one odds and the dude he killed had four to one. It happened.
He's really clean and eye them underdogs man inspiration, all right. So you
guys would see that Valeria and Astrid keep fighting back and forth with swords,
and that's going to slow them down to where as you guys get off of
the bridge and get back up onto solid ground. You guys are all four
neck and neck, Taylor to tell you where you're at. You are at
the far end of the line, next to Ajax, and then Astrid,
and then Valeria is at the opposite end of this of this line from you.
So you have swapped sides of the track you were on. So we're
not on the inside lane, we're on the you're on the inside. Now
we're on the outside. To begin an agent behind us, Ajax is dead
set alongside you, and you see as the Goliath turns his head and looks
at you, and he does like a menacing like drags his thumb across his
neck looking at you. Okay, I'm gonna cast moonbeam. Oh okay,
I'm gonna make sure because it's a five foot radius, so they're probably both
in that five foot radius, okay, and it's gonna be right next to
us, and I'm gonna tell Taylor, I'm gonna say you need to keep
this inside lane and hug the rail, okay, and I'm gonna cast it.
Okay. So is it a saving throw? It's uh yeah, what's
the save fourteen constitution? Billy? You have a god you pray to,
right, maybe you should maybe you should get down on your one knee or
something like that and tell him thank you for this day because this ship is
delicious already blessed them. Crystal does a three pass, I know. So
what's the effect of your spell? When a creature enters the spells area for
the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it is engulfed
in ghostly flames that causes searing pain, and it must make a constitution saving
throw. It takes two D ten radiant damage on a failed save or half
as much damage on a successful one. Oh my god, that's amazing.
So oh so roll your two D ten. Yeah I rolled them just now
because I said it out loud. You ask me what it did, and
then okay, all right, so two D ten It was eight total radiant
damage. Yep, all right. So he sees a flash of bright light
goes off next to you, I'm just hoping it's more distracting. And you
see Ajax's dragon jumps up like on its hind legs and bucks at the bright
flash of light, and Ajax falls off of his mouth. What a scrub,
Well's one. And the in the crowd, you hear them go oh
like, and you see as the people in there are like, Larry yeah,
Larry yeah, and other people are cheering for Astrid as strict. Oh
are they not hit too? Astrid is able to pass? Okay, that's
fine. I just she is going to take four damage as you see she
patting out her coat as going through it as you singe some of the fur.
First you try to freeze my unicorn, and then you singe my new
coat. Yeah, I guess I'm sorry about that. Coats are pretty important,
said, She looks dead in your eyes. She goes you're next.
You see she draws an arrow from her quiver and knocks it in her bow.
Okay, so rude, says the person who just set off a magical
flash bang. Hey, if it works, it works. I was gonna
tell her to just be better. So what Crystal said is way nice.
All right. So, now as you guys are approaching the home stretch.
Could I drop my sword right you're saying, so I don't anymore. As
you guys are approaching the home stretch, this fog begins to creep in and
you hear Vlarry go hold on Thunderbolt. This is the fun part is the
entire course goes to pitch black as you're riding through it. Now I need
both of you to make which is good for you, Katie? I mean,
yeah, I just have to trust you. I have dark vision.
So as you enter this you you even can't see that. Well why do
I have dark vision? I just want to put that out there that every
mean time I have been offered the chance to utilize my dark vision, you're
like, sorry, doesn't work. It's always magical and you don't have a
magical dark vision. Listen, if we yes, it's called Devil's sight.
By the way, wish if we go into a cave, you'll get to
use your dark vision. Well, thank for that. You go into a
room where the windows are all closed and it's night time, you'll have your
dark vision there, all right. So I need both of you, Crystal
and Taylor to make a survival check to see if you can stay on course
through the darkness, and the other competitors will have to do so as well.
Yes, okay, wait, no, no, no, not on
a survival Checkrey said, yes, yes, I was gonna answer, but
you spoke up before me. Don't get the defour and I don't get advantage,
right, Okay, I would like to utilize an Omen die. Okay,
it is because we got it. Yeah, all right, that's advantage
right, yes, okay with a special dice. Yes, actually, yes,
the black die of destiny that I forget exists. Yeah, I give
you, guys, all of these you know that's the worst received our Omen
nineteen plus four. Okay, So what did Taylor Jacobs get? Okay,
so you start kind of weaving back and forth along the path because you're you're
running through the darkness, and you're like, you have no point of reference,
and can I cast fairy lights? You can in a second, Okay,
thanks to your compatriot with dark vision who's able to kind of eke out
the shadows and the shapes. So now I'm allowed to utilize the dark Fine,
you didn't see ship? How about that? Oh no, you've already
said it. You can't and it's literally recorded yeah. I guess what with
your dark vision if you roll a twenty then or higher. Yeah, sure
you can see things. You're able. I rolled at literal nineteen. That
was on purpose, and she's able to guide you and you you straighten your
course back out now as you do. I need Taylor Jacobs to make a
dexterity saving throw that I haven't advantage, and I get the because something funny
is about to happen. Fourteen. Okay, let's see, you got really
high on your perception check. I'm gonna give you a chance to pass this
check. Need you to make a dexterity saving throw. Remember to add the
four yep. Okay, you want to burn another omen die? Yes,
Crystal has now used the same amount of omende as the entire party has the
entire other thirty episodes of the show. Good job, good job, that's
what it's here for, right m hm Oh that was a natural twenty shit.
I shouldn't, oh day, it's called insurance. It's too late to
not like I've already pulled the omend die so I just panicked. Well the
omend I did shit for me, So anyway, twenty plus what was it?
Dexterity or was it you also get your dfour. Oh that's right,
not that it matters giving me the chance, but yes, it's dex saving
twenty one, and then dex saving is twenty five. Okay. So you
hear a noise out of the corner of your elf ear and you like instinctively
grab the reins and like pull back, and Taylor is not exactly sure,
like she like for a second, she's like, the hell is she doing?
But then she kind of slows down a little bit, and you see
as Valeria thunderclap goes careening across like almost perpendicular to your path and then goes
bust through some wooden fences and off into the infield. She did not have
very good sense of direction. She did not have dark vision, ironically enough,
because dwarves have dark visions. Yeah. So you guys emerge out of
the cloud of darkness almost directly next to astrod storm riser, at which point
you see three arrows come flying your direction. Can Taylor try to bat one
out of the one is going to hit? Okay? Does a twelve hit
you, Crystal? No? Okay? Can I try and bat the third
one? Doesn't? Eight? Very weak, doesn't eighteen here, can I
just tryear and eighteen does hit? Me? Make a make a deck saving
throw, and I'll see if you can try to bat one of the arrows.
Okay again advantage yep, I'll say you had a shield, like you
picked up a shield maybe and you're trying to shield her. So that's a
dirty twenty. Okay, dirty twenty. You'll block the eighteen okay, but
the other one was a crit okay, awesome finish? She might I mean
f three hits, one of them doing double damagetics. You take nineteen piercing
as an arrow flies through and gets you like right in the chest. All
right, how much help you have? Twenty seven? That's left or total
total? Oh squishy, I am, I'm a druid. You know what
really helled? How do you if you transform? Well, we're not there
yet. How do you and Taylor? Actually? To me, there would
be nothing funnier than like, like you transform into a horse and Taylor transforms
into a person, and y'all swap places, and then I just fucking beat
what's her face? But anyway, I think we would have to pull something
off in order, we'd have to trust in the D and D guy to
make that happen. So as she lets loose these arrows, you see if
she resecures her bow and then smacks her reins and takes off, and so
she's attempting to make a bee line finish line. No need to take this
offline overworked and underplayed. Will circle back after these messages. What is your
response? Does the mount have to be on the does the person riding the
thing have to be on it? A bird or something to fly across the
flying aloud? No flying aloud on the course, remember, because I feel
like he's gonna he's gonna screw us over. So what I would say is
they said there were no flying mounts allowed. What I will say is that
the rider is who everyone is betting on. So technically, for the rules,
the rider has to cross the finish line from and they have to it
alive survived. They have survived the race, so said they have to survive
say the first svor yeah, survivor. So if I throw Crystal at what's
her name, You're betting on the fact that I will kill her. I'm
betting on the fact that you will somehow sit in front of her and we
will win. On a technicality, if I like, stick my hand in
front of her chest, right, I mean, you don't have to fight
her, you just have to not let her get in front of you.
To tell me what you're doing. So I'm imagining that this is what's happening.
Taylor reaches behind her fucking launches Crystal in an attack like throw, a
situation arranged attack to try and hit the other one's body with Crystal's body.
Okay, could I use this time to transform into a bird and instead of
trying to land, just cross the finish line. So you're not high enough
level to transform into something with a flight speed. Okay, that's totally fair.
I wasn't sure about that. So what if instead of trying to what
if you turn into something small enough for me to just really fucking throw.
Really, that's kind of like an armadilla, Yeah, just baseball spear,
like Rotel Dorado where they cheated on their little soccer game. I think that's
our best under Shrek. All right, let's try it, because we can't
catch up. I mean, we're already running at full speed, right,
this is as fast as we're gonna go, said, y'all couldn't catch up.
I said that she slapped the reins to speed up. We could also
I could slap you, slap my ass we speed up? Were okay,
well we're neck and neck. Slap my ass, spit in my mouth,
pull your own hair. Okay, it's a TikTok girl. Anyway, we
got neck and neck and then I throw you or do you think that you
should stay? I'm pretty fucked up, but you know what, I'm a
winner and I don't care how I get across that finish line. So yeah,
so make me an animal handling check? Can omen die? Please?
God? All right here, your girl is scared. You just want to
keep the diet. We only have one more after this one. Right,
No, you've literally you have five bad omens. Now, I don't care.
It's gonna be really funny if you do go to throw her. Okay,
well we'll hold off on the throwing. It'll be a last. Yeah,
it'll be a Lastra's word framan is an attack, and so what I'm
gonna do? Hey here, okay, here's what I'm gonna do. I'm
don't tell me what you rolled, because I'm also gonna roll. Then we'll
see whoever rolled the highest. They pick up speed over the other one.
Since it's just the two of you. Now, what did you get?
A thirteen? So would you like to know what Astrod got? Yes?
Not really, No, A twelve. And you hear as she as she
lets out an Elvin's scream, as you guys start going faster and faster.
Ah, alright, see you guys take the lead, and you hear's the
announcer goes, Oh my goodness, the long odds have taken the lead.
These unknown people from the gods nowhere, they have taken the lead. And
the death race that has seen so much carnage. Oh but don't count out
yet. What's that? I need you both to make a deck saving throw
and I'm gonna burn two bad omens can to it so that you each have
does each have just what I have advantaged? Those are just cancels out and
you still get the D four even though we're stretching the balance of what a
minute is. Yeah, it's a horse race. Those things are over in
like ten seconds. I got a dirty twenty. Nice, that's actually very
fortunate. That was a two plus four. Is the sixth the sister with
the power of friendship. Yeah, so here we'll get there. We'll get
there. So as as you are approaching, I mean, it wasn't a
crit So as you're approaching the finish line, you see as the ground beneath
your feet starts turning from dirt to grass, and these vines start coming up
and trying to tangle up your feet. Yeah, as you're as what is
casting times? Not a reaction? Is it? As? Uh? As
as you're going, Taylor Jacobs, you managed to break free from the vines,
breaking one of the vines, takes a firm grasp on crystals ankle and
begins to pull her from the saddle. I feel like Taylor would notice,
Yeah, because you know, I think this is the throwing. It's time
for the throwing. Oh god, well now there's two, get them and
die. Yeah, so what do you do? How close are we?
Can we see the finish line? Yeah? Can she throw me to the
finish line? Does she have do you have the does there? How far
away is it? We will say it is thirty feet it's so far through.
Okay, So Taylor is going to hold on to Crystal with one arm
and just fucking power through this vine, just hoping that Crystal. Can I
cast anything? Now that it's our turn you're asking us what we're doing.
We will get back to that. I want to see what happens first.
Well, because she is doing they I mean, what is what you're going
to try to cast mold earth? Yeah? So I don't think mold earth
works on magical terrain. It doesn't say anything against it. Hold on,
we will consult the Holy Text. Yeah, please do. I could also
just cast ice knife at the root that's got me, or at the lady
or her animals. Okay, So here is what I'm going to say for
the mold earth thing. It says a portion of dirt or stone. Since
this is magical grassy terrain that is on top of that, I'm gonna say
it doesn't work. Okay, then I am going to cast ice knife at
the branch that's got me. Okay. What I'll say is that'll be good
enough okay to break you free. And then especially if Taylor is like also
trying to like yonk you back. So Taylor, make me a strength check,
and as long as you don't roll a one, then you succeed.
I have advantage on strength YEP checks, so it's very unlikely you'll roll eighteen
plus whatever strength is YEP you're good. So you yankeer back up onto the
saddle, and you guys are headed for the finish line. Okay, Jesus
Christ, how much gold did you guys just win? I don't know.
I don't know how you said one twenty one odds and we bet two hundred
gold. We're gonna spend a ton of it anyway. You know what we're
gonna do is bucking go. We're all gone blue. Yeah, those checks,
y'all get whatever prize money you are going for. This is just money
for Yeah. I could have gotten it. We did. We did to
be Richard Bentley is like, oh we want, we want. Oh I'm
just glad they're okay. Yeah, as you as they crossed the finish line,
you hear the announcer, Oh my goodness, can you believe it?
We did cross the finish Yes, we did power fork right good. I
totally had nothing to do with me and give you it was before the barrier
went up. Eat that in real quick. So you guys, you're betting
personnel. You guys won four thousand gold. Wow, let's just go.
And what's funny is what's funny is you guys come around to the Winter Circle
Crystal and Taylor. You get roses wet to pop something. They put roses
on like a wreath of roses. They go to put it around your neck
like you think they're putting it around your neck, but then they pass your
neck and they go to your waist and they just kind of look confused and
they're like, what, yeah, over my blazer. Yeah. I'm pretty
sure they're going to make a new role after this to be like no Center.
Yeah. And then they present you with your trophy, Yeah, with
six hundred gold, and you guys are like, oh, this is so
much money. You know. We cut back to the stands and uh,
Bentley and Richard and Amyen in amazement and as you realize you just won four
thousand gold. Now let's tell no One. Yeah, we have to go
to wherever you collect your winnings as quickly as possible, to go straight to
the bay. Is this a secret secret? I was gonna say you if
you want to tell them where we're going to, that way we can all
come back together. I'm coming with you jokers. Yeah, we need we
need the muscles. That's true. I can't carry my winning I mean we
can probably put it in the fanny pack, though, is does the panty
pack? Wait? Is it? Like not the same way? It's a
magical okay, Okay. So as you guys make it to the to the
collection counter, you see they're like they are like counting out the gold and
they're like they look very unhappy that you guys won. Like they are They're
like, at least we at least we made plenty of money on all these
other suckers. Sure, yeah, I feel like they should definitely be happy
because we're probably one of the few people that actually bet. There's probably some
bum over there that bet, like the list of them, so there was
there was you see, as there's one person who is like even more happy,
like happy than you guys are. He goes, I've been coming here
for years. He's like he's like I knew, I knew it was my
lucky day. They didn't even have a name, not bet on them.
How much did you win there? Or my friend put my life savings on
it, which was it was ten thousand copper? What is that? No,
it was like it was that's probably like a thousand gold. He's happy.
I was gonna feel like I'm gonna I'm gonna drop him some extra gold.
He's just like money, money, money. It's like they're like,
don't It's like, don't, don't encourage him. He's lost way more.
Yeah, be back next week and lose it all. Yeah, he's one
of our best customers. I'm sure. Okay, and we did it.
You guys see where the Winter Circle is so you can go meet up with
the rest of your party or did you want to go straight to the bank?
Was that for real? We can meet you guys at the Winter Circle.
The secret a secret here, it's a three person secrets. I just
want to make sure because you know, I've been pretty good about not spilling
anything about your tragic backstory, so I just want to make sure I keep
my secrets right. Well, maybe if you didn't keep bringing it up.
I think it's more important that people outside of our group don't hear about it.
So maybe we wait till a better place to Okay, so it's not
a secret from them, I see. Yeah, we don't want anyone who
might have nefarious ideas in our winnings. Okay, I got you, all
right. I like that you said getting Taylor Crystal cell phone back is not
in a ferious ploot. Oh man, hey, at least y'all can afford
to pay for it yourselves. Now, So as you guys are making your
way to the winter circle. Wait, I have a question. Yeah,
why didn't y'all bet on yourself? Try to? I can't remember, but
I feel like you probably don't know. Yeah, I think that. No,
I think that betting on yourself like you can't well, I think it's
more frowned upon when you bet on the other competitors. So as you guys
are making your way to the winter circle, a small Gnomish child comes up
to Amyen. He says, hey, miss, whoa almost stepped on you?
Yes, this man gave me this and he said to give it directly
to you. Okay, what is it? Who gave it to you?
He says, I don't know. He had like a mask on or something.
Oh did you pick it up? Yeah? Can you describe describe the
the is he holding a note? He's holding like a piece of paper folded
up? Did he look really sweaty underneath that mask a little bit? Yeah?
Tell them tell him to tell him to go away. I don't want
to know. I mean what, I'm not in charge here, Bentley Richard,
what do you think what is going on? I thought you were in
charge, well, not me individually, So what's going on? Amen?
There's some child. I mean the kid drops the piece of paper and just
runs off. Okay, well I don't like that. That's suspicious. I
don't want to pick it up. Pick it up. What's the worst that
could happen? So there's an address on the piece of paper, all right,
and it says Amy and Amanda meet me here tonight, come alone.
Does it look like it's one of the Rick's handwriting signature. It's very well
written. Does it have any like heart on it or anything like? Is
it a date? I don't think you could. You could see someone's heart
on like a heart on the eye or something. There's just one capital D.
He might have had a heart he gave you. What did you say
that outside? It said me somewhere at the location. Did have a time
on it? It said tonight? I just said tonight. I just supposed
to wait somewhere for hours and hours? Does how to make set appointments?
Fine? How about this as a time? And you guys magically have watched
it sounds like we have time to get there. If it says tonight,
it says midnight. Okay, do we want to even deal with this?
Though? We can ask the rest of the group asking for you. I
know, but I want to go by myself. That's not safe. I
don't want to be up at midnight. Wait. Weren't you saying something about
a marriage spell earlier? Oh my god? Is that something that can be
useful, if sure, to people that want to get married? I guess,
well, I mean, can you like, I don't know, does
it have like a casting time, like it only lasts for like a day
or something? It lasts for seven days? Okay, Well, and then
you don't get that effect again unless your partner dies and you remarry. But
they have to die. You can't get divorced. That's why. That's why,
that's why certain people in some circle saies, that's good to marry A
random is a good thing, Mike Random. Bring them with you on an
adventure so that maybe they'll die you could keep. Wow, that's really dark,
Bentley. Okay, that's a good to know about that spell though.
All right, all right, yeah, I don't know. It was something
I learned, and there was a note there that it seemed like it was
written by someone sketchy. That spell seems like it would be really op in,
like the Utah editions of the game. Oh boy, Crystal, Crystal,
Yeah, are you okay? Are you guys insured? Yes, yes,
both of those things. Yes, it's like, PLZ help Crystal,
like Taylor okay and lay on hands. The one who's most injured. That
would be Crystal. I think, I think, Yeah, why's it got
to be because I'm squishy? Okay, You're fifteen points of healing. As
you guys are all celebrating, you hear the sounds of hoofs clopping on the
pavement and you see as a very charismatic looking centaur approaches and he goes,
oh, I came down here to see who you know, see the winners.
Hi, I'm fattiest thunderhoof announcer of the of the I told you let
you know your prejudice was right, he says, And I've come here to
present you with a special gift courtesy of the sponsor of the game. He
was so impressed with you guy's ability to like navigate it as rookies. He
would love to have you come back again, both of you, Crystal,
and says, and we would like to present you with this magic amulet.
Only it has a horse head and it has like diamonds for the eyes,
and like it's gold, like it's got all kinds of gems and stuff,
encrusting it kind of. I thought you learned from that mistake. I never
learned from my mistakes. So it is, he says. This amulet is
the amulet of the Phantom Chariot, which is what exactly he says. Well,
it gives a passive bonus to the wearer's ac of one, So whoever's
wearing this has plus one ac and once per day, the wearer can summon
a spectrum chariot that is pulled by the wearer. Oh that sounds like it's
going to be you, Taylor, Crystal is pulling no chariots. Yeah,
it was like interesting. And the chariot can provide the bearer and a small
number of passengers a method of swift transportation over any terran. So just Taylor
being the workhorse as usual. Hey, and what are you for me?
Yeah? Who's the sponsor? Oh, the sponsor of the death Race.
Oh that would be well. He doesn't really like to share his identity in
public. I can't really, can we see him in private. He's he's
kind of a private individual. If he wants to talk with you, he'll
find you. As I say, you could just whisper his name to us.
By way, it's not public. Sorry, it's in my contract,
that is. Don't you want to tell us just time? Bently and cictured.
You guys are so persuasive. I hate to have you break your contract,
but there's no way that maybe you could set up a meeting for us.
We would just love to just understand, because we really just want to
express our gratitude. Well, he leans in and he says, see,
here's the thing is that I don't want to mess this up because I think
he's like an arch Faye, what what is that? He's like like like
a member of like a person from the Fade Wild, like oh arch Bay,
just like pretending, yeah, trying to get trying to get me fired
from this. Do you know how hard it is for a centaur to find
work in this town? Preach, I knew you would understand. Yeah,
And all the apples, dude, I am so sick of apples. It's
like everywhere you go you want an apple fritter. Oh real, fucking funny
Steve. It's always a Steve too, as always Steve. Yeah. So
okay, so can you just whisper really, we won't tell anybody. He
already told us. He says, you said it really loud. He says,
you promise you're not gonna say it out loud? Okay. He usually
goes by the name doctor datari. A gratitude today keeps the haters away,
and that's why we want to thank you for listening to Overworked and Underplayed.
