Are you dudes talking about amy? I guess is important to hear what they
says around night and day. And now that you listen to the Rand Cafe,
Yo, what is up everybody? And welcome back to another episode of
the Rant Cafe Dungeons and Dragons. Last time, you guys got portrayed by
it Elf. He captured, He took control of Chad and tried to take
Doron's bounty and attack you guys, but we ended it off with a smoke
screen screen and you guys knocking Dingle out with me. Today we got Animac
playing Zorn Yo. We got teching one O one playing ax Ross How you
doing? And we got truck Sean playing Idrid Hello. And Chad comes to
after Dingle gets knocked up, and he's like, oh my god, what
happened? What happened? I give him some smelling salts, like some some
chili pepper. I had you go wake up, Chad, come back to
us. He takes he takes away with holy right to mine noggin. That
went right to my Yeah, all right, what the fuck happened? It
was like I was in a dream but he couldn't control my actions. It
was a lucid dream. Oh well, it wasn't a dream you were getting
kind of You were just controlled by an elf and you attacked us and Dingle
took control of me how I don't know, with with the crystal, with
these stones, and I like kind of point to a couple of crystals that
are still floating around. Lauran approached us from behind his pillar where he was
hiding, and he says, I'm sorry, Chad, but Dingle betrayed us,
and he tried to control you with the crystal, and we had to
take him down. He's there right now and he's knocked out, but he's
alive. I mean, we got to figure out what to do with it
quickly. I gave him a second chance. I gave him three chances actually,
And honestly, man, I thought I thought we were starting to become
friends too, But he crossed the line. Yeah, you guys showed up
to save us from the giant robot thing. I mean, like I thought
you guys bonded or something. I thought so too. This is yeah,
guys, our options are limited. So he not only does he want to
get my bounty by getting me arrested, he betrayed Chad and controlled his body.
Who knows what could have happened. He knows now the secrets of Stella's
lab and could use that for evil ends. He tried to attack that old
man who would have killed us. All. Yeah, just generally unpleasant to
acts. It really just seems like I'm all I think is every single time
we, you know, try to do something, he's there and he just
tries to like hurt us, either directly or into And we even tried to
get rid of him peacefully. We try to tie him up, We tried
to well that's not I don't know if that's peaceful, but I wouldn't say
peaceful, but you know not non lethally title hostile adjacent. Well, yeah,
you guys we tied him up the first time and like left him unconscious.
The second time. We lie, you guys lied to him and told
him that you guys are going in a different direction, which my bad.
Honestly, kind of maybe I shouldn't have brought him back. Clearly we did
a chance. This is not none of none of the blame goes to you.
We didn't let you know that we were trying to get Dingle off of
our trail for the sake of you know, no no more attempts at thievery
or murder. Yes, we got a decision to make, guys, because
he's if we let him live, he seems to somehow keep find his way
back to us, as if some sort of greater force keeps coming up with
ways for him to find us. So shock him at a well, I
think we either have to put him down permanently, or we if we can
find some way to bewitch him so that he thinks that I'm someone else and
goes off on a wild goose chase or something. I don't know, man,
I don't believe there's anything that's going to okay. How about something that
we know that's within our capabilities that would be able to last longer than like
I have, Sorcerer, I'm just a rogue, but I'm just I have
an idea. Why don't we like, you know, he's unconscious, so
we just like leave him here, not in the lab. We take him
out in the woods again, kind of similar to what we did the first
time. However, this time we leave him a note that says, leave
us alone and if you never, if you ever come back to us,
we will just kill you. The promise he's gonna come back. Then we'll
have to kill him then. I mean, like, there you go.
I guess I'm giving him. I'm giving him a fourth chance. I am
very generous today. But if we give him that chance next time, he
could uh grow up and you know, get the drop on us and kill
one of us. Or he could alert the soldiers about my identity. You
know he could Oh that's right, all right, all right, one one
second guy, let me cut in here. And Chad spins his his scythe
and puts it to Dingle's throat, and he says, let's put it to
a vote. Adrian, Yeah or nay. I'm just we're just looking at
I mean it, yeah, and I just kind of like turn away because
I don't want to watch it because it's still it's like, it's a very
weird. It's a weird more moral dilemma that I have. But yeah,
Axe Ross, Yeah, yeah, yeah, you said yeah too. Yeah,
all right, I look at my my scythe. This wasn't meant for
you. But and he just cleanly cuts off Dingle's head. Didn't get a
vote already, it was Yeah, I thought it was gonna be idrin one
ax ross one splitting it up, and then it was gonna come down.
But at that point, like even if even Chad was gonna say yes to
and it was gonna be three Stella, get a vote no. And but
yeah, what's called Chad cuts off Dingle's head. Clean blood sprays everywhere,
and it looks like his scythe glows red for a second and it absorbs and
then that's a pretty cool sit. I never saw it do that before.
Oh my god, you know we didn't have to do this in the lab,
right, there's blood everywhere. I don't think this guy's dead. Bro,
He's gotta like haunt the scythe or something. Man. Then, like
Zora is just like crying, and I'm like, I think he lost it.
I think now. I pick up a broom and I shove his body
out the lab. It's so sorry, Stella. Sorry, And it's a
lab you're probably used to like chemical spills every now and then and stuff.
It's it's all right, it's all right, no big, no big deal.
He did try to kill you guys and and us. But thank you
guys so much for rescuing the lab. I really appreciate it. You're welcome
stella. We we are in a hurry to get west, but we are
also here to do the right thing. Well, I have I have a
reward for you guys. I want you, guys. I'm going to go
back to the adventure of Guild and say that it was kind of taken care
of or the lab was destroyed. I want to like create some type of
lie and get my money back. But I'm going to give you, guys
fifty gold, which is more than the quest was even given for. Yeah,
oh okay, that's yeah. I'm going to give you guys fifty gold.
You could split up how you want, and I'm going to give you
guys one crystal each. Oh well, I already I already have my one
from before. Which crystal did I give you last time? I don't remember.
It was one of the control ones. I believe, one of the
red crystals. So that like it was like if I'm going to give this
to somebody. No, so you have the red crystal, But this is
a reward, separate crystal. Yes to Idrin, I give you this one.
When you smash it, you will turn invisible for the next uh like
like ten minutes or so, or until you lose concentration dope. To Zorn,
I give an ability that will help you deal extra damage with your with
your sword. Nice. Is it permanent? Uh no, it's only for
the one time, one time use. Okay, thank you. Is there
a like a time duration, like you know, for the next like minute
or so, because a minute is like ten turns? Yes, yes,
well I mean for invisibility, it would be for a certain amount of time.
For for Zorn, it would be bonus damage. For I'm I'm not
gonna say ten turns. It's gonna be for one attack. One attack.
That's kind of how her crystals have been working for her, like she has
to use it every time to use the magic spell. And for you Axe
Ross, this crystal will let you be able to cast fireball one time.
All right, I could take that. I I twirl it my hands and
like wholster it like a it stole like a fireball. Yeah no, but
no, but seriously, we hate pitbull here. What's a pit bull?
Is that a? Is that a like a bard or something? Or yeah?
It's like it's like this bar the pit bull and the terrible music is
what it's called. Ah well, I'm not much of a music guy.
Myself. I enjoy uh yeah, Medley or two, but there's no time
for music now. Of course, we gotta get moving right Well, if
you guys gotta get moved, I got a lot of work to do.
I gotta fix this entire lab. Oh, good luck to you, and
we will take our leave, and Idrin, if you never need to find
me, just remember to follow the stars. So we got I'm just gonna
add my items. I got the web weapon attack increase, and I also
have the control crystal that I secretly took from last time. Still A walks
up to eat her and it says, I'm gonna, I'm gonna. I'm
gonna miss you. Good luck on your adventures. I will report back with
everything that I find awesome you. Thank you for this. I can't wait
to hear. I can't wait to hear about your your future journeys and all
the discoveries you make. Oh yes, we'll have plenty to catch up on.
I'm sure Zora was just kind of like frustratingly looking at you, Like
enough with the small talk. We gotta get on here. I know,
I know, I know, Zora will. We'll consue the journey. She's
saying, goodbye to a childhood friend. I don't know what their exact relationship
was, but they knew each other. That's all that mattered. But she's
my ventor Joy alright, aren't your mentor also friends? Yeah? Man,
that's all right. Yes, So I was like, who was that woman?
It seems like you know her someone. These two seem to have some
kind of connection. Who cares? All right, I'm kidding, but let's
get out of here, Chad, are you coming? I wouldn't I wouldn't
miss another adventure for the world. I'm honestly like, other than having to
killed Inglan, I'm having a pretty good time. I mean, like,
I have to say, we don't have to worry about us accidentally getting killed
in the background because he did a spell or something. So that's kind of
reassuring. Yeah, unless he somehow comes back. Everyone laughs, But no,
I don't laugh because I'm a demon and I know that, like,
yeah, that ship could happen, Like you know, death is not the
end. M hmm, all right. I can almost hear his voice on
the wind. Yeah, that voice. Man, Oh my god, I'm
gonna sleep better at night knowing No, Oh my god, that was a
pretty good impression. I know I can do that. Never do that again,
please? All right? So that voice haunts my dreams? Do you
think it does? Oh? No, oh no, all right, let's
just Rhyde. I've been back. I've seen men slaughtered in front of me.
Oh, I got a big possessed by his soul. Guys, please
stop me, kill me. Please that thing, that thing scared? Yeah?
Uh would you say we got a short rest in Briggs m Yeah,
absolutely, while you guys we're having tea and stuff. It's fine. Yeah,
even along along a journey towards the next town, you have to take
a short rest. You can just time skip. That means oh, it
means I get my spells back and uh at doesn't about HB No. Yeah,
you can roll hit dice. You you roll your hit dice for a
short rest. Yes, so hit dice would be well, I don't even
know what your current HP is at. Are you weak? Fourteen? You
can roll your hit dice twice. I'd say it's worth it. It's kind
of the in the in the center of the core, you see the fourteen
like below it does the hit dice d eight button like a little bit below
it it. Yeah, you can roll that twice you re roll the criit
fail, so roll one more time eight So you add eight here you get
eight back. Yeah, so you're close to full. Yeah you can't fourteen
because that dingle bastard. Yeah, you can roll it one more time if
you wanted to get the full health. But you're at twenty four to twenty
six. Anyway, you guys are traveling to the next town. Uh idrian,
you have been there before since it's relatively close, yo, And you
guys are heading west town, all right back on the road. Town.
Is there anything? Is there anything you guys want to talk about or do
along the journey to the next town. Oh? You you say you've been
to this town. Anything we need to know, anything we need to watch
out for? Uh blam? Is there like you check that I should make
or anything like? It was just a relatively it was a relatively normal town
when you went there, and it was like definitely had some researchers and stuff
like that. No, there's not much that you really need to know.
There's it's a relatively keeps it looky. There's not too much that goes on.
There are a bunch of researchers and people in a similar line of work
as me, but overall very quiet town. We should be undisturbed, should
be. I hope they have good stables for our horses, because our horses
haven't eaten in a while. No, they'll be fine. They're grazed every
time we're out fighting things. Well, I mean we can always, you
know, see if we could find a way to clean them up a bit
as well. Yeah, we got to take care of the horses, especially
sure we give them a bath. They're kind of staying Billy, Billy needs
always some special attention because he's, you don, a special little horse.
I imagine Chad's riding on Billy and he just deviates from the path every now
and then. Guys, guys, we just always have to make sure that,
like he's in the middle of us because or tie something around, Yeah,
to make sure that he's led, because we're gonna we're gonna make sure
that Billy doesn't wander off. Oh Billy, God bless you, Billy.
He's so cute, all right, so cute. Yeah, Like Chad's on
Billy right now and Billy's struggling, buckling at the knees. When at one
point Billy falls behind because of that, and Zoran quietly asked the other two
without Chad overhearing, Hey, guys, are we going to talk about the
fact that Chad had like fur coming out of his legs? I assume he
was probably just a werewolf? No big deal. Mhm, all right,
you've never seen a werewolf before? Well, it's just it's just, uh,
there's a lot of the myths of a werewolves where I'm from, and
uh, you know, we're kind of a oh oh, like like what
do they say, what are you afraid of? They come in uh at
night during the and like attack they do that. Yeah, yeah, that
does happen. Yeah, not to worry about me being a human kind of
scares me. And that's a misconception. See, you don't have to be
a human to get you know, killed and turn into a werewolf. I
could turn into a werewolf eager and could turn into a werewolf. Billy could
turn into a werehorse. So you guys are whispering this because I felt yeah,
I felt behind. He does not hear the Yeah, yeah, okay,
cool. And and do we uh like, does it happen at night
or is it just like a full moon I believe, or maybe every night
I'm not super familiar with lycanthropy, but uh, you know, hey,
if you're get into a fight, I'll tell you what you want the were
wolf on your side. So you're saying that you know he could be triggered
by something else, that's why it happened during the Dingle Oh yeah, I
mean I guess so, I mean the crystal was enough to do it,
So I'm assuming there's other things that could trigger him. I wanna. I
mean, it's just good to know for our own safety, guys. I
just want to let you guys know that during the Dingle fight, all that
happened was Dingle took to control a chad and his muscles started to bulge,
and so did the muscles in his legs, which caused his pants to rip
and it revealed the fur. He didn't turn into a full blown were wolf
for a wolf or anything like that. Okay, So he's not a full
of he's just well, you guys don't know. You guys don't know what
it is on. He might just have hairy legs. I mean, like
it was quite a bit, but I'm just saying, technically, you guys
don't know yet, right, Okay, Yeah, Okay, well, you
just gotta we can make inferences. I mean, like as Harry, if
he could, we could assume he's a werewolf. We might not know.
Maybe he is, maybe he isn't you know. I love Chad, but
if per se he would go berserk in in another form, we should be
aware of that. I mean, you could ask him, just have to
be polite about it. I think we should get Adrian too, because she's
the most non threatening. Okay, oh that you think I'm threatening zor On,
Well, thank you. I appreciate that, like in the best way
possible. Yeah, all right, e Trian and have fun. So yay,
should we put it to a vote? What am I doing? Oh
no, no, it's great because your researcher. You could say it's for
your research. Go ahead. We believe in you, and we just gotta
like leave you behind a bit. Am. I like just talking to there,
asking you to Chad and just like talk about his hairy legs. Ask
Chad, talk about yeah, figure out if it's if he just needs a
razor or if he's a werewolf, and like you look back towards us and
and like we shoot you the thumbs up. Okay, So assuming that his
pants are still ripped and his legs are still exposed because he has not yes,
they mentioned we haven't mentioned anything about that. Can I do like an
active perception check or something like that just to see if like any of it
might or I don't know, like either either a perception or like a medicine
check or something like that, just to kind of like observe ology so you
can see, I see if it, like if it seems like it's abnormally
thick or like anything anything that might be out of the ordinary roll perception or
yeah, perception works, okay, so based off of that bad perception all
but to be fair, it's just just a couple rips in his jeans and
you don't have a great look. It looks like more than like the average
human hair hairy dude would have. Like you don't really see the skin below
his legs because it's thick, but it's hair or fur, you can't really
tell. And I'm like I look back, and I'm like, I like,
I look back because I see that they've like back, like take it,
like they've done like the little like you know, two steps back kind
of thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like kind of like scooch
back as well, to be like, I mean, we can't really know
for sure whether it's for not. Just from the quick glance that I was
even able to take all right, it just seems a little abnormally, Harry,
I can, I think we should. We really have to do?
We have to How do you how do you politely ask someone, hey,
are you aware wolf or something of the show? Care of it? He's
been nice to us. I know you don't have to be mean about it,
just like, hold on, I'm just I'll take care of this,
don't worry about it. So I ride back over to Chad and on Billy
and he's just like, hey, hey, you doing all right over here?
Yeah? Man, doing pretty good, just riding on Billy. He's
uh, he's huffing and puffing though I'm falling behind a little bit over here.
Yeah, no, no, no big deal. Hey. I was
actually just kind of curious back at the lab when Dingle took control of you.
Your pants ripped and it was looking kind of like you had fur.
So I was a little bit curious if are you aware wolf? For possibly
a wear bear? Honestly, dude, I wish I was a were wolf
that'd be so cool. Yeah right, normally he honestly, I guess I
didn't. I never told you guys. That's my bad. So I'm half
half wolf half man kind of. But you're not aware wolf. You're just
half wolf half man. I have yet to transform. Maybe one day.
Cool, all right. At this point, Zura comes back and it's like,
can you explain how that works? And I'm like, with your mom
and dad, I mean, if you want to, you don't have to
explain it. Basically, I'm black from the waist down, a black wolf
from the waist down. Okay, interesting way to go there and chat and
chat? And so did did your your mother for your fuck? So yeah,
I breathe don't really know my parents. I would hope to find out
who they are one day. I think there's some connection to some type of
nobility. But I was basically abandoned in the woods as a child. I
lived in the woods for like the first like twelve years of my life.
Oh and then when I went to like, I finally found like a human
town and I I tried to like join like the town. They saw my
legs and they tried to kill me for being a monster. Oh that's that's
mean just to treat someone different, just because their legs are different. Okay,
yeah, especially in this world when there's like so many different like like
races and animals and monsters. It was al very I was not expecting.
Do you have like, are your feet regular feet or do you have wolf
feet? Well he's been wearing boots, but yes, they're like wolf feet
kind of. Oh okay, well there you go. I imagine you could
run pretty fast with those. So that's that's the thing, you know.
I'm from the West Side. I don't know. Maybe I don't know this,
guys, but is this like a thing that happens if a wolf mates
with a human or is this like magic? I gotta be honest with Zorn.
I've never considered this, Adrian, have you done any research into this
particular field of uh what I have? I guess that's a player to damn
question history or like I would say, you would know about different races that
could turn into animals and stuff, but I don't really know how the biology
of that would work, and neither would Chad. Chad definitely wouldn't, right
right, He's it happened he got born this way? Should I should I
make some sort of medicine check just to see if I have my knowledge,
like if I have genuine knowledge, like obviously if I would have like looked
into it and heard about stuff like this, But like how much knowledge would
I have? If even know something? Maybe she could like help him unlock
his troop power? Should do like an animal? Would it be like an
animal check? Like an animal? Handle animal? I'm not actually trying to
handle. We're not handling. I'm not handling. Why not do a history
check then history? Yes, because I'm kind of like thinking this race is
kind of slowly died off and it's less common. Okay, so I need
to look something up real quick second, got it? Got it. We're
learning so much about each other today. This is great, yay bonding.
I absolutely clipped that. By the way, I like that. That just
shent me. Oh my fucking god, that was too funny. So you
would know that certain certain people have the ability to turn into various animals,
and technically it is unlikely, but it is possible to to like have a
child while an animal form. Oh oh, so it's not a race of
wolves or half wolves or anything like that. It's just normal people of different
races that could transform into animals. So and then if they have a child
as that animal, the child will be a half half kind of mix.
Makes sense? Yeah, I get that, That's how I'm dming it.
Okay, And do we know anything about how to like unlock extra powers or
anything like that based on off of that role you would not. But honestly,
like basically drew As do kinky stuff. So but Drewid's get a little
freaky. Well, I was gonna say, you know, what happened?
That is the answer to the age old question what happens if a wild shape
druid has you know, like there is Yeah, yeah, well so then
druid, well, child could have druid powers. He could maybe who knows,
But Chad's gonna say, yeah, like, I really never I never
met my parents. They just abandoned me in a forest. And that's actually
how I got this scythe when I when they went to try to execute me,
I killed the executioner and took his weapon. Oh that's that's badass,
dude, that's really cool. That's quite bad ass. And you know,
child, you might have some latent druid abilities and spell casting abilities that you
could unlock, so you know, look out for that. I haven't had
much luck with magic yet, unfortunately, I just swing my scythe. But
I'm hoping one day. You just killed a druid, so maybe you have
druid blood on you. Now, I don't know how that works. Hmm.
Yeah, I saw your scythe glow after you killed those. You know,
maybe there is a power that you can unlock there. Yeah, it
does that every now and then. I don't really get it, to be
honest, but it does, like, you know, if it feels a
little stronger, perhaps during some downtime, if you wouldn't mind, could I
like take a look at it and see if there's anything that I could trace
back to any sort of like you know, magical root or something absolutely absolutely
that sounds good to me. I could probably that could be very interesting.
Honestly, you intrigue me. You're not as uh straightforward as I thought you
were. Oh, thank you. I'll take that as a compliment that is
multifaceted. It should be taken as one. That's the whole character out of
all of us. All right, all right, boys, okay, So
as we're traveling, you guys see a town in the distance and eve when
you recognize that it is the town. You know. However, it definitely
looks different the buildings. Many of the buildings are like more dark stone and
more a little bit more black stone type of thing, not as like bright
and like scien see as you remembered, Hm, I did some redecorating around
here. And there's a little a little a little gate around the city,
and there's a there's a dude with like a suit on leaning against the front
door with a cigar to smoking it. And you guys are still always away,
but you could see this from a distance. I kind of just say
the line that I did, and then yeah, I mean I see a
guy with what is he doing? Looking a lollipop? Looks like he's probably
having a smoke. So as you guys are looking at this guy, I
just also Animac notices not Animac Zoran notices that like literally I'm talking like hundreds
of kilometers in the distance, it just like you kind of see what looks
like a wall, and you would re regnize what this is. Like I'm
talking like really really far. You see like a gigantic wall like it like
the Wall of China type of thing, you know, you see that over
over on the horizon. That is the Great Western Wall. Oh, that's
a pretty big wall. Is that where your country is? That Roadina?
Yeah, so that wall is what separates the east and the west of the
Empire. Once the Empire was only on this side of the wall. But
then they invaded the other end and took over my land. But yes,
my land is over that wall, and we have to get over the wall
to get to my land. All right, I mean, I guess we
could climb a wall. I mean it's not that hard. We should buy
a ladder in this town. I think we'll be good. I don't think
it'll be big enough. The wall is actually a lot bigger than it looks
from this distance. Two ladders, Well, we'll we'll be okay. It
is a wall of Titan proportions. Chat, I'm not Chat. If we
have to buy a five hundred ladders and tie them together, we'll get over
that wall. Don't worry about it. We'll get you back home. So
as you are a true friend, Zoron would know that there are like some
large gates or large doors on certain parts of the wall, and also there
are gates that allow you to pass through but you must pay a lot of
money a big toll to get in. The emperor uses the wall as a
way to divide his subjects and keep them from uniting against him, so he
makes it very expensive to travel between the two parts of his empire. Right,
I understand. I would say the wall is like like seven hundred meters
tall, like tall, tall, tall. Okay, that's going to be
a lot of ladders, but we can make it work. Yeah, But
anyway, this is just something that you notice in the distances. As we're
traveling more west. You see this wall, but the town right in front
of you. Is this some relatively normal looking town, a black cobblestone type
of buildings, and a and a and a dude in the suit smoking a
cigar in front. Okay, I don't think the buildings would be made of
cobblestone, but I think I understand what you mean. Yeah, they're like
a dark stone dark stone, all right. So we approached the guy,
right and maybe Adrin, uh, you ask, since you know about this
town, you ask if there's anything new going on or Yeah. I would
kind of approach and be like, I'm familiar with this tone, but it
seems you guys have done a little u redecorating this town's and ownership of the
Bambino family now Bambino family. I know that I was gonna say what you
would you guys would you guys would not. It's just it's it's clearly been
a new is taken over by a new a new type of ownership. And
I just kind of look back and I'm like, well, this is not
the town that I knew, huh anymore? Well, things change, you
know. Zorn is like hanging back and hiding his face from the guy,
but he's like, so do you accept the travelers or do we have to
keep going? Our horses really need water? Cut to Billy, like,
we need to water and feed our horses. Absolutely, this is a it's
an open town as long as you guys pay one gold and you guys got
some money to spend a one gold toll to the Bambino family and you're all
good, Oh okay, yeah are you guys? So you guys all was
tossed in one gold each, by the way, is it one gold each
or like it's one goal each? By I went back and did some research,
so you guys had a total of fifty four gold between the three of
you, between the three of you, guys, fifty sorry old, I'm

track for you. Thank you. Well, we have to pay for Chad
too, right, Oh, yes, four, So you know you're at
a hundred hundred, so even a hundred, let's just keep it. I
was kind of just gonna do it that like Chad kind of just like covered
his own cost. But yes, that whichever, let's just make it easy
and make it one hundred gold, even hunter gold. Even there we go.
You've been through a lot of God and we want to support you.
Yeah, we want to cover your your cost after what everything that happened with
Tangle. You guys are too nice. A round of drinks on me once
we get inside. Well, thank you, sir. Uh is there a
hardware store in town at all? I mean there's definitely a if you know

like cool and mysterious to be like, yeah, he's got a bunch of
stores. Dude, it's just a tourist guy. You know. Do you
have a local theater perhaps? You know what, that's one thing we don't
have we have We need to start get getting into the arts. Yeah,
the arts is is really where people's culture lies. And getting more invested in
that. Well, thank you so much, my pledgure. I have a
good time, all right, So do you guys enter the town? So
we let's let's find the stables first. Get the horses sticking care of and
then we can. So as you guys enter the town, you notice a
bunch of dark looking buildings. However, one building, the Adventures Guild building,
is the only building that's like made of wood and like looks like shit.
Like everything else looks like it's been like killing me. I mean,
bring up the map here, so like it's kind of like dark building,
stone, stone everywhere. And then the one building like at the like kind
of like center of town ish or at the end of the center of the
town is just like a wooden building, like the one thing that really hasn't
changed with time. Ah Okay, now it seems like the Adventurers Guild isn't
doing too hot in this town. Now, we could refurbish this and may
would make a great local theater. M Yeah, I don't think we have
the time for that. No, I'm just saying, like, you know,
I have an eye for interior decoration. Actross loves to interior decorate.
So let's let's get the horses in caramel. Yeah, let's go. Yeah,
there are stables, there's anyone in this Adventures Guild. There is an
abandon there was going on. There are stables next to the tavern or the
guildhall. Okay, we'll do that. Then let's let's use those stables and
then let's pop in inside the guild and see what's going on. All right,
So you guys set up your your thing with your horses and stables.
There's like some hay there, there's some water and stuff. It's just kind
of open to the public. All right. So you you enter the tavern,
right, eat up, buddy, all right? Yeah, then we
go in the tavern some pros from the tavern ice. As you enter the
tavern, you see a bunch of different like some adventurers, you know.
But there are three guard looking dudes that Zoron would immediately recognize, and they
are going to be doing a perception check to see if they recognize you.
Like right when someone walks in, all three guards look up kind of like
as if they're looking for someone, and they will be doing a perception check.
How do I roll perception with these guards? Here we go, all
right, so all of them will do it? No four, No seventeen,
Yes, okay. One of the guards goes ahead and says, that's
our guy. That's our guy. That's all. It's the wonted guy.
Let's get them for the emperor. And the guards get up and like start
rushing over to you guys. All right now, excuse me, gentlemen,
is there a problem here? Hand over, handover the fugitive right now,
otherwise you are his accomplices. Oh where his accomplices? Okay, yeah,
Zorah, it's time for you to boom, so you you attack them.
Let's let me let me open up the tavern bat on that and if they're
coming up and accosting us directly, then yeah, okay, let me set
this up for you guys, and you get rid of Dingle and then or
Dingles Dingles appear. Spirit of Dingle appears appeared. He's like a hydra.
He cut off his head and he just grows three more. He's replicating,
wait, shit, Chad actually cut his head off. Fuck yeah, he
did the hydra the hngle. All right, I got up. You guys
all got your stuff. The three guards kind of approach you guys, and
we're gonna have to roll initiative. Yeah, let me throw in my healthy
Also, I forgot to do like Chad short rested, so I'm gonna do
some hit points for him as well, I'm doing a short rest, but
that does nothing for me because I'm already full HP. I just have atrin
use your spells that you get back what I have what. I'll be back
in a second, guys, one second. Okay, I gotta get the
door quick inner mission U done, done done, greater music. See any
good movies lately? I've mostly been watching the documentaries, to be honest,
I started watching. Uh, there's a lot of Disney movies I never saw
as a kid, so I watch it. I just saw Hercules for the
first time a couple of weeks ago. What I know before No, I
never saw Hercules. I saw a Lion King. I've seen Emperor's New Groove.
I've seen Atlantis, which is probably my favorite. I haven't seen much
back of rout your Dom. So have you seen Mulan. Yes, I've
seen Mulan. I've only seen Aladdin and Pocahontas in Spanish. Uh. Yeah,
so there's a lot that I missed. I I actually think Mulan and
Lion King are my favorite. Most people, most friends of mine say Mulan
is their favorite Disney movie, and I have to that one's definitely really highly
up there. Mm hmmm. I'd say Atlantis is my personal favorite, though
I need to rewatch Atlantis again. I watched every couple of years. There's
another there's another Disney movie that like didn't get as much hype, but I
fucking adored it, which was a Treasure Planet. Treasure Planet because a sleeper
love. I love Treasure Planet. It was honestly, it's such a beautifully
uh like, it's beautifully animated. It's a fun story. But because it's
not like, you know, a quote unquote princess movie or is it just
a hero movie, it is Disney. I'm pretty sure I remember, like
I remember these movies through like Burger King toys and McDonald's toys that they had
advertising, but I never saw all of them. You know, I always
hear great things about Treasure Planet. Fantastic movie. I actually Treasure in like
the theaters. I think I don't even know. It was so long ago.
I think I'm gonna check this out. I watched it. I watched
it in theaters when it came out. I was so excited about it.
I just loved I loved that movie when I was recently Treasure Yeah, it's
it's kind of like Steam it's a steampunk vibe too. It's really cool.
It's like a different vibe from like a lot of the Disney movies that I
watched, okay growing up, So it's really cool. I enjoyed it.
Yeah, that was the vibe honestly from Atlantis that I got. Like,
it wasn't the I mean, like Keat as a princess, I guess,
but like the it didn't. It didn't really hit super hard, so a
lot of people don't really remember it through well right right, right right,
Yeah, it's not like your Beauty and the Beasts or your Lion Kings or
something. Yeah, okay, sorry one second, let me open up chat
again. So I rolled initiative Briggs. I had to delete it. You
rolled in nineteen, okay, and we have to leave everyone else as a
mixt to it. Real quick, let me touch token first. Do we
have token? Yeah? You guys have token. You have a token?
My my character, she was covering it. I did the whoopsie all good
chat with the twenty one ax Rosco for Chad. I rolled, oh yeah,
you have battle. But Chad is like, oh you you rolled fifteen?
Okay? I rolled fifteen. Yeah it was it got deleted for some
reason. Oh yeah, I deleted them. Kind of see that you had
already done it before I did the hit points. Okay, can you look
it again and I'll change your number to fifteen. Yep, nice, thank
you. Okay, fifteen. Let's go ahead and sort it. Oh,
I got to roll initiative for these boys. And Zoron too. Theurn's good.
He's there. Oh, I don't see him in the turn order.
Weird here, I'm not in the turn order. Really, you're on my
screen. Oh that's strange. Yeah, I just see Chad. Huh.
Yeah, I see Chad Axe. And then as long as you have it,
it's fine, I mean, but yeah, yep, Zora On a
second in our party? Yep, and fourteen is there? Cool? Okay,
all right, then you've got a surprise attack, not surprise at act.
You're you're gonna go first across like a you're initiating the battle. Yeah,
let's just kick this off with burning hands. I'm gonna run up a
little bit here, so they're all in range. And this is going to
be a fifteen foot cone I think, okay, fifteen foot cones, So
I think I could hit all three of them if I'm standing like right here.
So they need to make deck saves, deck saves. Okay, mm
hmm cone, Oh, let's try this out. See how this Oh that's
all that's so fucking that's perfect. Could you guys see that? M h
all right, So let's just do that right there. So that's gonna hit
all of them, all right. They needed to beat a fourteen, So
two of them succeeded guard number. The first one failed, so he's gonna
take twelve fireka plus the two, so that'll be fourteen fire for him,
and then the others will take half of that, so six fire okay.
So one of them looks like he's like on the verge of death, the
one that take fourteen. I'm still alive though, and the other two look
like they're like they're cracked, you know, they're wounded. Yep, yep,
okay zorn. Actually it's Chad's turn. But as Chad starts to walk
forward, a big jack dude from the bar gets up. Oh boy,
he's holding a beer. He's just like, what do you guys do in
my guild hall? No fighting? Look at the rules, No fighting in
my guildhall. And he releases like an aura from his body. Okay,
everyone needs to do a wisdom saving throw. Oh no, he's got Conquerors
Hockey. Now you're a year old. Didn't do Adrian, You're not wise.
I'm so wise. I am. I don't know. I don't know
why I had disappearance Wisdom saving throw. So there's a saving throw box on
the left I think left hand. You just clicked wisdom. It's all,
but it's fine, the same. It's the same thing above the box with
the skills is the saving throw blox. It's okay, did you guys all
do it? Oh, Chad has to do it, my bad, and
the guards will have to do it too. I'm gonna make one guard do
it for all three Conquerors Hockey. All three of them failed. Truck failed,
Animac failed, at Ross succeeded, I mean all I want to succeeded
Chad. That's see. That's some strong Conquerors Chatfield. Okay, Hey,
I'm the I'm the guild master, and I said no fighting, and he
releases this aura and all of you guys except for Axe Ross are all fucking
terrified of him. Oh, and he just says take it to the streets
and the three sorry, the three guards. Okay, yeah, the three
guards and are like okay, oh yeah, absolutely, sir, And what
do you guys started it? Sir? Yeah, I would say, I
mean, you guys almost get scared and they run out, but I'm like,
yeah, no, no worries about this, We'll take it outside.
Not a big deal. Yes, Basically, Chad zor on Idrin, three
guards and media like I'm sorry and start walking outside. They're like, yeah,
we'll do what you said. And then you're just agreed to do it.
Like I'm just like, yeah, sure, absolutely, sorry sir,
have a good day. Are we running outside? Then yeah, you guys
can move your character. I'm going to change the sheet back to the town.
Oh okay. And then the big big the big jack dude just kind
of sits back down at the bar, just another day. Okay, Well,
hey, he just didn't wanting to destroy his stuff. That's fair.
That's fair, guys, the real Bombino. I like that guy. He
had muscles and he had a very dominant personality. I am. I'm doing
a thing where basically, like all the guild masters are fucking like just beasts.
Yeah, that's fair. They are guild masters. They're all just Anie
Chi characters. Yeah. The image I used for this guy was shi Osakaki
from Kenechi. Ah yeah, I like it, all right, all right,
so my turn, yes, but feel free to order yourself where you
think you would stand when you left. I just kind of placed you guys
wherever. I'll just put myself right here. Then, okay, all right,
Zorn, I know it's Chad's turn. Then zorn'stern. Okay, Chad
starts raging, walks forward, and the one that's really weak he goes and
tries to slice off his head with his scythe no, don't play, and
he misses. He does play. I don't know why I had advantage on
Zor on your turn, so happy to the guy. One guy's very weak
on the verge of death, but Chad missed him, and the other two
guys are just like weak. All right, So I'm gonna attack the guy
that's on the verge of death with just a regular short sword attack and then
I'm gonna disengage afterwards. Okay, go for it. Uh that does not
hit either? What? Well, it doesn't hit? No, they have
armor on all right, it is axe Ross's turn. All right, I'm
gonna try something a little new here because I don't want to burn a lot
of spell slots here. I'm going to use booming blade. I'm gonna take
out my kitchen knife and I gotta go. I'm gonna go stab the guy
that I've already injured before. Okay, go for it. So that's just
a roll to hit and then something will happen. You's you're a good cook,
but you're no Saundry fourteen hit. Let me pull up the sheet.
I knew if thirteen didn't, they might have an exact fourteen armor class.
Or let's see if if they're fifteen, uh fifteen? Okay, got hit
then nope, all right? Uh it is now The guards turn and the
guards walk forward with their One of them's got a solard, two of them's
got spears. They pull out their wack weapons and they start swinging one,
two, three, Oh okay. So first one was on was on Zoran
missus, second one was on Chad Missus. Third one was on Axe Ross
Hitsky or the cit seven plus four damage. Seven plus four damage. But
I'm hellish rebuking him, nice rebuked. Make a deck safe dexterity saving throw
boom. Okay, he succeeds, so he takes uh, he'll take eleven
plus two, so he'll keep. The one that attacked you is the one
that you got really weak, so he just dies. He goes to attack
if he stabs you, and then the spear starts lighting on fire and it
just goes all right to his body and he blows up. He just explodes
in front of me with the Hell's rebuke. Yeah, all right, that
Adrin, it is your turn. Okay, uh, let's see. I
am going to let me what if I have you know what, take a
flame? Do it the do the hot key. I mean it's still in
DC, but it makes make a deck strty save on the guy that's in
front of Chad. In front of Chad. Okay, he fails and takes
six radiant damage. Six radiant damage. All right, that guy looks like
he's like one shot as well. He's on the verge of death. Which
one died the one that was closest I would delute him. There there you
go, So you meant to attack that one? Okay? Sure, okay,
it is now Chad's turn again. And Chad's like, oh my god,
I can't believe keep on missing and he starts spinning his fucking his scythe
babe babe blade run it rip. Okay, Chad, I've been there too.
I've been missing a lot as well. It's it's all right. He's
in a recklessly attack, this time giving himself advantage, and this time he
hits, dealing fifteen damage killing one of the guys. Zorn is your turn.
Only one guy is left. Yeah, so I'm gonna tag that one
guy with my bord sword. Yeah, you hit, you have sneak attack,
you kill him, And as he's dying, he's like for the Emperor.
All right, then you guys have slaughtered these guys. They were just
a bunch of guards out on the lookout for Zorn. And after the guy
says it dies, Zorn just spits and guards like, fuck the Emperor.
Nice nice good shops Zorn. I raised a hand to like like high five.
Yeah all right, guys, what do you? Guys? Made short
work of these bumbbags thanks to your help. I couldn't do it without you.
Let's go boys, good job. Don't worry. Now. I'm gonna
go inside and clean up where I let the floor on fire because I feel
bad about that guy there. All right, well, I'm not cleaning up
the dead bodies and blood here. No, I mean the dead bodies and
blood. I'm sure that Bam Bambina family will fix that or whatever, bmbino.
So honestly, the while you are having this fight, a bunch of
dudes with like suits on and and stuff are just walking by. It's just
like another day. They don't they don't give a fuck, just a normal
day in this town. Right one, one little kid runs up and just
like steals the guy's wallet, the dead dude's wallet. Okay, anyway,
you guys are going back into the tavern, I'm gonna go back in.
Let's go back in and uh get some intel in this town. You guys
see a little lady cleaning up after Axe Ross's mess, I'm going to help
her. In fact, if does she look like an old lady, that's
like she's actually quite young. Well I'm either way, I'm gonna say,
hey, excuse me, allow me to help you, or you could just
go. I'll take care of it. I'm the one that caused this mess.
I'm the one that you're cleaning up. Oh no, no problem,
sir. Oh I'm gonna wait. We got another simp for Chad, let's
go oh okay, so oh oh, she just gets up just like,

I I just you know, that's how I was raised, you know,
And we just we work on cleaning up the mess on the floor.
You guys. You guys took care of those those soldiers so quick. You
guys, you must be strong. What's your name names Axe, you just
call me Axel or whichever. Really, yeah, they they just accosted us.
So we just you know, dealt with them. It's not a big
deal. Wow, we do it all the time. Actually, that's wow,
that's impressive. And she just says, well, if you guys want
to order any food, let me know. Uh, there's the quest board
on the wall. Maybe leave the the the old the older master at bay.
He's a he's a little bit of a cranky guy. He's cranky mood
right now. He has a very intimidating presence, I've noticed. Yeah,
and he and Dorn's kind of like, oh yeah, my name is Lorenz.
So it is nice. It is nice to meet you, lady.
Ah, yes, Lorn, yes, Lorenz so yeah. Oh that's a
that's a that's a very common name around here. Nice to meet you,
Lorenzo. The name's Laylah. Nice to meet you. Yeah, my name
is definitely Lorenzo. And uh, I don't know why those guys attacked us.
They were just jerks. And what's what's your name, young woman?
Uh, Adrian, very very nice to meet you. You guys are so
nice. We try. We murdered a guy like we tend to be nice.
We just burned four people in the last oh those were those were guards
for the empire. They don't fucking count and dingle, which is almost like
doing the world of favor. But anyway, I, uh, young lady,
could you tell us a bit about this. There's been some changes here
recently, we hear, and uh, maybe we'd like to know something about
the Bambinos. Sure, sure thing the h the Bambino family came in and
took over. They basically took ownership of all the shops and all the all
the different businesses here. They have their hands kind of in everything, and
uh, what's it called. The only place they haven't gotten is the guildhall
because the Master would fucking kill them. Oh yeah, I mean he looks
like yeah, and the Master looks over He's like, I'm a pacifist now,
I don't kill nobody. Yeah, I have no enemies. But they're
they're they're they're smart enough not to try to take me on. And then
he and and then the old the master says, I actually put up a
quest if any of you guys want to kill the the boss baby, the
big, the big, the big boss of the family, I'll give you,
guys one hundred gold I a zorn. You need money, and I
feel really bad about lighting part of his floor on fire, So just just
gotta kill another guy? Why not? That's so we're not well, well,
hang on a second. How many how many people are part of this
bambino family? Oh? They they got a lot of guys. They got
a lot of guys, and they pretty much fill up the whole town,
to be honest, but are they Is there a way to locate this boss
and sneak up on them without having to fight the whole squad? Uh?
I mean that's up to you. That's why you guys are the group of
adventures. Is there any way to get the entire family in a twenty foot
square radius so I could throw a fireball at them? Good one, good
one? But now you probably have to do some investigating. I don't even
know where where the boss is currently. All right, this boss is like
a bad guy. He does bad things, so if we kill them,
we don't feel bad. Right Oh yeah, oh yeah, he sells weapons,
he sells drugs. They do. They do illegal gambling, they do,
they do it all. None of that stuff seems really that inherently bad
to me. But you know, I'm doing this as a favor for you
if nothing else, just you know. So yeah, I'm pretty uh,
I'm pretty against the drugs and gambling. Drugs are great, Zoron, I
disagree. Yeah, drugs are like the spices of life. I pull out
a vial of spices and give it to Zoran and like, here you go,
man, try some live a little. I'm sure you want some too.
Here you go. I mean I I I take it and I put
it in my pocket. But I don't actually consume any Okay. As a
sage, I actually do enjoy studying. Oh sage, huh, all right,
I give you a vial of sage. I don't say it's sage,
and just give you a vial of just green herbs. And I'm like,
oh, thank you. I gave literally like it's like fat, like a
few hours later and I just sit there and I like, like go up,
I open like the vile to sceness. I'm like I was actually going
to buddy, I got the joke like twenty hours later, said words.
Anyway, Adrin, So we gotta find this boss. Guy you've been to
this time before. You kind of might know someone here, You might know
the places. Do you want to help us try to locate this guy?
I mean I can do my best. Yeah, that's alright. I think
I think we grab something to eat maybe, and then we get out.
All right, all right, The Master says, well, good luck on
your quest, guys. I mean, I've just killed the boss, but
I don't kill people anymore. This hand, these hands have killed far too
many. I understand, Like I really want to snap his neck and half,
but I have no enemies. Guys. Yeah, you know, well
we could take care of it. Not to worry. We just need some
food to fill our bellies and we'll be on our way. At least the
boss is smart enough not to take on the tavern and hack me and try
to take this place over. And you know what, they leave me alone.
But the town, the town has changed so much, so I figured
I put up a quest. I want to see something I want to.
I want to see if you guys could take them on. I think we
could do this, all right, So what are you guys doing. I'm
ready to have some food and then yeah, we can have some food,
get another short rest in and then we could go. It is also I'm
trying to remember what time it was when you guys went to the You guys
went at night for the last one, So you guys didn't sleep. Chad
slept like an hour or two. You guys haven't slept yet. It's gonna
be morning. It's gonna be morning soon. Well, too bad. So
you guys want some food. The girls like, all right, well I
can bring out some of our today specials. If you guys want, we
can subsist on naps. Naps will be good. Yeah, we'll take speak
for yourself. I really have so much energy we could get. We could
get we could get a room for the night maybe if we want to just
take I mean this, this family has been in control of this town for
probably several months, if not years, So you know, an extra day
or extra night, what's what's what's gonna be? I am in a hurry
to get back home. I I know you are but we have each your
needs sleep. Look at her. We can't make it all the way to
the wall and further without I understand you're in a hurry, but you,
guys, we liked if you if you would like proper support, I highly
recommend we crushed for the night. Yeah, in the morning. Hopefully this
time won't just it's leave in the middle of the night and not. I
won't anyway, I won't. I won't. I won't. The lab has
already been taken care of, and uh, we got this. Don't worry
about it. We'll be our Oh I just blanked on her name. You
guys weren't friends after all, and Stella has everything taken care of, so
we should be okay. All right, then well let's have some meal and
get a long rest in then. Yeah, and then it's a good idea
to listen to uh, listen to our healer. Let's let's say, let's
take a nap. We're all we're all sleeping, but like so around sleeping
with his uh short sword, yeah in his hand, you know, Okay,
So, and do we level up from that from that? No?
Okay, you're close though, you're close. La Layla's like the master said,
said, the complimentary stays on us tonight, since you guys plan on
taking on the Big Boss. Oh thank you, Layla. Do we know
the big Boss's name? They call him the boss Baby. Oh my,
oh my god. Yeah, but my pit bull reference was too far.
I guess. Oh, I mean, I I have no idea if this
is an actual baby, so Actuross is just like, all right, that's
a weird name. But okay, I guess we'll kill that guy. And
if he's an actual baby, I'm not killing him. The masters. The
Masters screams over. He's like, no, he's big baby is what they
call him, and he's a boss, get it right, Leila? Ah
okay, oh big baby? Oh no, big boss baby. Okay,
all right. I hope he's not secretly lovable. I guess we'll find out.
Maybe we'll end up joining the family. Yes, it's out of curiosity.
Why exactly do they call him big Baby? I mean, I haven't
even I haven't seen him myself, to be honest, Huh, what are
the rumors around town about this? Uh, big boss baby? The rumors
that he's a big baby. Apparently, I don't know what that even fucking
means though, Oh, God, I think he is probably a baby.
I'm scared the people in this town town avoid me like I'm the plague.
I don't know why. And he stares menacingly. I don't know why.
Everything he does is just very intimidating, even if he's trying not to be.
He's like a level sixteen monk. Like, God, oh, we're
fucked if that's the case. No, no, no, no, no,
no no. This guy is a gold master, like a level sixteen
months. Oh okay, okay, okay, okay, it's what I technically
an MPC, So he's not really a monk, but like, right,
I get you along the lines of that is what I would say monk esque
powers. Yes, yeah, So I'm just worried that this baby. Guys
are gonna have a really heartbreaking backstory. That's gonna be hard for me.
Zarn, you're an assassin. I mean, you just have to go in
there and assassinate. That's just what you do. Actros may have killed babies
before. I don't really know. I mean he is a all right,
do you guys want to fast or through like the night's sleep to the morning.
Yeah, long rest. Yeah, they give me my spells back long
rest. All right, are you good now? Oh I'm so much better.
Thank you for asking. It really is a thing because Zora doesn't have
spells. I get my ship back with short rest. So it's you're the
only one that really needs long rest. I'm the only one that really needs
it. I mean there's a couple of things that I think rogues need,
but that's like later on, it's like, oh, you get a once
per long rest kind of thing. Yeah, it depends on the rogue,
I think you. Yeah, it depends. Okay, have a nice cup
of coffee and yeah, you wake up your head downstairs. You can get
some coffee and stuff. You make your way down kind of one at a
time. You guys are all finally meeting up in the tavern downstairs. Yeah.
I I checked to see there's any more guards that came in overnight.
I don't see anyone. So I come downstairs o just and meet up with
you guys. And I do want to say that the the wall, the
Quest wall, does have a picture of Zoron still on it. There's a
wall, is a there's a want to poster for Zoron on it. There
is the the Boss Baby or the Big Baby kind of wanted poster. Does
he look Is he a baby? Is he a giant baby? Oh no,
it's just it's like a it's like a shadow outline that you can't really
a silhouette. It's a silhouette because again, the master doesn't know what he
looks like. Most people don't get to see him. And then you see
like a couple of dragon quests. There's two different dragon quests on there.
We'll take one of these dragons. Someday, it's gonna happen. What are
the rewards for the dragon? So it's a hundred gold for the the boss
baby, it is a thousand gold for each of the dragons. Yeah,
that's definitely true. I look over, I look over to the guild master,
the monk guy, and I'm like, dude, I bet you killed
some dragons back at your day. Huh. I would never kill such a
majestic beast. Plus this so pacifistic. Well, it's so so much for
recruiting him to help us get those thousand gold. He's the guild master.
He doesn't do where he that's like he he can't do the work, because
what's the point of having a guild Then that I'm retired. I'm retired from
the theists. Let's get out. Okay, let's we had our breakfast.
We had our I had my scrambled eggs and bacon. Let's go all right,
Let's let's try to figure out what where his big baby guy is and
how what it looks like, and hopefully Rin's connections will be able to help
us. All right, will probably have like like all the shops and all
the businesses have been taken over by the family, like they have. H
He'll now right fully healed. Well, I mean, unfortunately, it does
not seem like my connections will do much in this town anymore. I have
a I mean I could just manipulate somebody. I could find a random member
of the family and manipulate them to tell us where they're hideout is and everything.
Yeah, talking, Yeah, he looks kind of like to be on
the fancier end because he might be higher ranked. Yeah, let's try to
find someone fancy, and let's try to find them maybe by themselves relatively so
there's not a lot of guards. I mean, we could take out some
guards. I just you know, there's a lot of people that might cause
some problems. All right, So you have been to the blood from last
night. Yeah, we just step over the blood puddle. You guys walk
outside and you see a bunch of different buildings. One of them is a
tailor, one of them is like a cafe, one of them is a
restaurant, like I said, one of them is a blacksmith, et cetera.
All right there, I think if we can find the gambling spot,
that's where we're going to find the higher ranked the family members. There's a
bunch of guys walking around in suits as well. Do any of them look
like they're kind of more in charge than the others. No, they just
look like a bunch of like like like recruits, like feeling like even if
it's like a recruit, they would probably know where the hideout is, if
that's what they're doing. Yeah, but they might not know anything about the
boss because the boss is so secretive. Are we trying to find stuff out
about the boss specifically, or are we just trying to find out where the
hideout is, where the boss is? I mean, either one will do
I mean, I don't think it hurts to ask one of these recruits.
You know, we can always we could just always ask the question. Let's
follow these guys down the dark alleyway and yeah, all right, one of
them, one of them. That was the creepiest laugh I've ever heard.
That's never that's never been a bad idea. Before one of them walks down
the alley and he looks like he's like about to enter one of the buildings.
Do you guys want to stop him? Are we stealthying? Or are
we just walking down the other just the other just walked out of the tavern,
you're not all right? We're strolling, okay. And one of the
guys is just like right here okay, and he's got his hands in his
pop gets. He's just chilling. He's walking down the down the alley towards
one of the buildings. Is that Jimmy. That is Jimmy from One Piece
dn D. It's not actually Jimmy, but that's you, Jimmy. He's
just a little guy. Oh Jimmy. You know what? You know what
funny? This one will be named Jimmy fucket. The other one's Johnny.
This one's Jimmy. Hey, what are you guys looking at? I'm Jimmy
over here. Actually I suggest you use your persuasion. Hold on, I
don't like to burn a spell slot if I don't have to, Let's try
doing this the old fashioned way, just like, hey there, how you
doing. I try to be very friendly and amenable to him, like I
reach out to like shake his hand. I'm doing all right, how about
you? And he shakes it back. Pretty all right? Pretty all right
myself. So word around town is the Bambino family is the ones in charge.
Oh yeah, we run this town, right well, I was thinking
about joining myself. I was wondering if I could, maybe, you know,
go through an interview process. How'd you join? I hung around this
town a bit, played some cards, made some connections, and one of
the capos invited me into his to join his to join his ranks. All
right, all right, well I could play some cards. If you're going
to play some cards. Yeah, I'm about to have uspro right now,
have a little coffee, a little espresso, and I'm gonna play some cards
in here. If you guys want to come in, yeah, absolutely,
let's do that. We're actually pretty welcoming to outside is as long as you
got money to spend and stuff like that. Oh, we got money to
spend. Do you want me to do a performance checker? Like a persuasion
or anything. No, these guys want people in their town to spend money.
Like the more money that's flowing, the better. If you want to
gamble, they fucking love you. Okay, if you were like, if
you're like, gambling is bad, let's shut this down, they'll fucking fight
you, obviously, right. But he's like, you want to play some
cards, play some cards over over there, and whatever. Yeah, let's
do it all right, So you guys enter one of the buildings, the
gambling denbe I do have to use the bathroom. It's just gonna be looking
like similar to the I'm seeing the same, exactly the same as the tafferd
It's just like, yeah, but when you enter the building, you know
it's a round table on the right, a relatively large round table, slightly
bigger than the one you see on the screen that I'm showing you guys,
And you see a bunch of dudes and suits playing cards, and another dude
with like a top hat or like a fedora type thing spoke when a cigar
is watching the game, Oh, that guy looks like he might be a
boss. That guy's so is he at the same table. He's just not
playing he's just not playing. And the guy looks over. He's like,
you're trying to join Cupolo's game card game? All right? So this is
this is the one where I I don't really say anything. I kind of
just do the uh. I kind of just give him the nod of like,
yeah, I want to join in, you know, so if you
guys seem honestly you give him the nod like you guys seem like you're you
want to play some cards. It's a ten goal to buy in, all
right? So are we playing? Are what's up to you? A lot
of It's a lot of money if you guys want to individually going, but
you absolutely can. It's a room at the table. I mean I think
I should play and uh act, you should try to use your fell on
that boss guy. That's my my thing. Where you seem to be itching
to play too, I mean I try to have I mean I could do
that if I wanted to. I mean, I could definitely do that.
But like, I feel like if we could just get what we need to
know through a card game and not having to use the spell, I think
that might work better. Well, I just I never trust that people will
give me the right information freely. But maybe you're right. Maybe these guys
are drunk and talking a lot, or maybe they're just like they're like organized
crimes, so they're they are trusted like like with you know, if you
don't cross them, they'll they'll tell you straight kind of stuff. All right,
So who's sitting at the table. I'm at the table Zorn and Will
both play and h have to wait for Adrin to come back. She went
to the bathroom and the gambling Dennison as we walked in. Yeah, that's
it's probably not a clean one, but it is what it is. Yeah,
Chad and Adrian can kind of like keep watching, maybe do some snooping.
Yeah, Chad is chilling. He's gonna go buy a beer or something.
Yeah, he's just kind of watching. The isn't like super machiavellian like
me. He's just got to hang him. Yeah, he's he's waiting for
his moment when the fight starts, you know, like he's just there like
he's not really gonna be doing too much investigating with you guys. He's over
there sharpening his scythe waiting waiting for the fight to start. That's hilarious anyway.
So you guys buy in for ten gold or Zoronda's and Ax Frost right,
both of you guys yep ten gold each to buy in, and he's
gonna give you a hundred chips. Okay, one hundred chips, and do
you guys want to play a hand? You guys want to talk to There's
like five other gentlemen at the table, and there's the big Uh. I
can't remember what the guy's name was. Cupolopolo was the one watching the game.
It's his game. But yeah, there's a bunch of guys, so
what's the what's the game? Guys? Five card blackjack? What are we
doing? Uh? This is Texas hold him, Texas hold them all Right,
if you guys want, you could roll a D twenty each and that'll
that'll'll decide how good your hand is. Now, don't make me like have
to actually play because I don't know the rules. Okay, no, no,
no, I'm gonna make it simple, like a D twenty and like
it's either your hands ship or it's really good, you know. Yeah,
it's just roll twenty or one of the numbers, roll D twenty. I'm
not trying to cheat or anything. So yeah, that's a game could try
and cheat if you want to try to cheat ship Yeah, well, well
okay, I got a ship hand, so no, I'm not gonna try
to cheat. I'll just have a shith hand. I'll probably fold, is
that ron, Well, I'm a oh you rolled the twelve. If you
roll the twelve, that's not a bad hand, it's a decent hand.
Well, we'll let two other guys, random guys at the table that are
deciding to play their hands, roll see if they could beat you. Yeah,
they're they got that, guys, but they got you beat. Oh
man, I got the shittiest hand in the house. They both got you
beat, right, so they can. My thing is I'm gonna assassin.
I'm a rogue. I got hunting. Actually I got sneak at that,
so I'm gonna cheat. All right, we could do we could do the
second hand. We could just like, all right, firsthand, I fold,
I'm done. I'm not gonna be able to win. Yeah, if
I will let you do a sleight of hand, zoron, it's a skill,
and I'll let you roll extra dice basically for a change one of your
cards. So roll a side of hand. If it's good enough, you
need a fifty. I'll say you need like a twelve thirteen. What do
I what? I roll a sleight of hand. It's on their skills side
of hand. It's where your like, performance, persuasion, nature, everything
is down there. Eighteen. So that's definitely good enough. Roll another D
ten and we're going to add it to your to your to your skill current
ten. Yeah, D ten because we did D twenty before. Uh,
you know what, I'll let you do a D twenty because I don't know
the difference, but I'm just letting you know D twenty. He rolled a
two. Your hand's still shit. So like, you guys lose this hand.
Unfortunately you're gonna lose some chips. But you know, you guys can
play another hand if you want. You can talk to the people at the
table. So, oh yo, you guys are really good at this game.
Great job, you know it's I do play every day. And that
was who's this guy? Let me see my list of my list of names
we got Tony. Tony said that you my friend. My name is Lorenzo,
and uh, I'm new to this town. Lorenzo. That's a good
name. I like good name. You're right, Tony, So it's yours.
Oh, thank you. The real name is Anthony, but I go
by Tony. Of course, you guys been here a long time in this
town. We being new, we'd love to learn more about everything around here.
You know, the setup and the boss, and you know who we
gotta talk to if we want to join up. Maybe. Oh, you
guys are interested in joining up. Well, you definitely talked to Upolo about
that. I take it your Cupolo. I point to the guy that's clearly
like running the game. Yeah, yeah, clearly running the game. Cupola
looks over and he's like, you guys are trying to join the family.
How do you want to get involved. I'm a chef. I can make
a damn good chicken parmesan. Oh okay, one of our restaurants probably can
need a guy. But that's not really like like, yeah, you're a
chef that he wouldn't really be in the family just to be a chef?
What type of what type? How are you gonna bring some some cash to
the game. Well, I could kill people if you want me to.
Oh, you guys are strong. I mean what my friend means. What
my friend means is that we can solve problems and sometimes people can be problems,
and we can, you know, remove those problems from your repertoire.
I if you catch my drift, I I I cut out the middle man.
If you need me to kill somebody for the family, I'll do that
for you. I like you. You're so straightforward. Eatin your packs?
Are the bathroom you want in? On this hand? Oh sure? All
right? The next hand. Never been too good at cards, but let's
say, all right, it's a ten gold buy in Jesus Christ. All
right, we already lost a lot. No, no, you guys lost
find you guys only lost one hand. You lost like half of a gold
not even Oh okay, so yeah, you could still cash out your chips
if you guys want. But you guys are playing one more hand, it
seems, all right. Roll a D twenty ax ross. Come on,
alright, that's a better hand than I had last. Roll a D twenty
zoran. Okay, we have the exact same kind of hand. Okay,
And then two guys at the table will also roll and they will ship.
All right, So you guys, you guys win this hand like two pair,
and that wins the game. One of you guys, one of you
guys, win the hand with like ace high like it was like like a
pair of one pair. Yeah, one pair wins the hand. You kind
of won back what you lost last time. But you gathered some information,
and Cupolo said as well, we could always use a good hit man,
you know. And it looks like even the guy over there by the bar
seems pretty strong with his sighte. Not gonna lie. When I saw a
guy walking with his sye, I thought something might go down here, but
he just wanted to worry. He just wanted a beer, So he's okay,
he's good as long as he's drinking. But I've seen him kill a
guy personally with these two eyes. Yeah, we're we're a tough soldier types
and we're looking for some work. So yeah, we've killed a lot.
Adrian over there, she's killed more people than I could count. I saw
her climb on a man's shoulders and then snap his neck, cleaning half ripped
it right out of the socket too. Yeah, it was it was.
I'm just kind of standing at the bar. I'm actually just having some drinks
with Chad, having a good time. You know, you don't even hear
us, but like, no, guys, I'm not I'm not even paying.
They call her the blood Render, and then I kind of like look
behind me, and I just see, like, look, Chad, why
are these guys staring if she's known thro the land as the killer Dwarf,
Killer Dwarf. Yeah, she slaughtered her entire village and then she rows them
from they're dead with necromatic powers only my dad. Chad just like what the
guy's talking about over there? To Adrian, No, you think we look
tough. We're all scared of that one. Oh yeah, she's the leader.
Yeah, so uh, Copolo says, well, if you want to
join the family and do some hits, I'm sure I could find you some
work pretty shortly. But first things first, that's attired. You guys got
going on isn't really Bambino family material. I think you should go over to
the tailor and get something nice. You guys do look pretty sleek. Yeah,
I try, I try, and he takes He takes a pull of
his cigar. All right, nice, Could I have a cigar? Nothing's
free in life, big Doug, Nothing's free. How about if I win?
How about you and I play a hand and if I win, I
get a cigar? Gamble? Oh, that sounds good to me, But
there it is. I only gamble high stakes. I'll put full my full
ten gold in plus a cigar on top, and you just have to put
ten gold as well one hand. Winner takes all. Oh well, I
just picked up my golden lead. I'm putting my whole ten gold cash out.
Sorry, cash is out. Now, it's just me and Cupola,
all right, one v one And then he like Cupola looks over at the
other guys at the table give him a look, and they all get up
and like go to sit at another table. Oh shit, winner takes all.
He rolled a three. Dude, he rolled a three. His head,
his hand's terrible, but he doesn't fucking oh my god. All right,
there's no way. There's no way. Now here's what I do.
Now, here's what I'm gonna do. Okay, I am gonna cast suggestion
now, but here's how I'm gonna do it. Okay. I have to
suggest a course of activity limited to a sentence or two. Okay, So
I'm literally gonna look at my hand and I'm gonna put tend like it's a
really good hand. I'm sure he's probably doing the same thing. It's like
hmm, tell you what you should Just fold, Cupolo, and then I'm
casting the spell. So he has to make a wisdom saving throw wisdom saving
throw boom. Yeah, he critically failed. He's not the most wise he
is. Now. I suggested for him to fold, and so I'm he's
tron by me. So he's the fact that he has like seven deuce like
a shitty hand. He rolled a three out of a D twenty and he's
like, I fold, So you're gonna take like half the stack like he
didn't actually like go all in, right, right, so you take like
five gold off of him and a cigar. Yeah, okay, I guess
the spell just ends because it could go up for eight hours. But I
just told him to fold and that's all he did. So there you go.
Yep, Okay, all right, I got my cigar. Nice.
Yeah, and you got theo's respect because you beat him one on one.
I did have that too, and you charmed him too, so that's like
yeah. Soolren says, uh, we get these suits and we come back
here. We go somewhere else to report. Yeah, go get the suits
and come back here and then I can maybe get you your first mission.
Okay, so we do that, all right, Adrin the Man Slayer come
with us. We're now part of the mafia. I guess Asian. I'll
just play along. I'm literally like I look at I look at you.
I give you like a one eyebrow raise, and then I start heading.
I'm just like whatever, Adrin the Great Track and Slayer come and as you
as you walk, even as you walk, like you see people like kind
of like shuffling away from you, like at the bar, like there's kind
of like scared, Yeah, Tony, Tony kind of like af you're walking
by, like because you're a little like head head nod and like take three
steps back. Well what the I just kind of like I look and I'm
just kind of like like I like give him a like a head nod back
as like a friendly greeting, Like I don't know why you're stepping away from
it, but I'm just gonna go. We haven't told you anything. No,
you haven't told me anything. And I'm just kind of like, all
right, we get to the like table. I'm always told me it was
best to blend in with my surroundings if I'm leaving, if we're leaving the
den, I'm just gonna say to Adrian, like, Okay, I'm really
sorry about that, but we basically really hyped you up in there. What
do you mean by that? Okay, it was hilarious. Now you have
a death count in the thousands and you killed like an entire village. Just
roll with it. Next time they're really afraid of you. You earn their
respect, You're right, what do you mean? Like? Even the could
have clued me in on that. I've been able to play along. I
just kind of came up with it at last minute. I didn't really think
about it through too much. I could have had some fun in there.
We're coming back, We're coming back, all right? Well good now,
I know. Yeah all right, So are we just going to the tailor
and coming right back or is something gonna happen along the way. Well,
I guess welcome to talk. But yeah, the tailor is just across the
street. All right, cool, all right, Taylor, let's go in
there. He asks me if I should like, He tells me I should
definitely cut my hair and beard, but I say, uh, no way,
So I just I'll get the suit, but I keep my tail and
my beard and hair. Cool, So yeah, you walk in and you
see Antonio and uh and and Antonio is like, hey, you guys are
here to buy some suits out here, check the racks over there. I'll
be over here. I'm gonna get a nice pin striped shirt, pinstripe suit
that has like a red shirt underneath it, like a red and black kind
of Lucifer tie kind of thing, you know what I mean. I'm gonna
go all block cool, Adrian, what do you want to wear? I
kind of find like a respectable looking so just I gotta find something that says
man killer. Yeah, and the tailor like, I just need something that
makes me make sure that I my respe Chad wearing a suit is gonna be
funny. Chad buys an all white suit. White. Oh ship we go
with like pink shirt and like a gold tie. That'd be awesome. That
works, That works, He's so sexy. Adrian Taylor Seesdrin's like height,
he gets so mad because he's gonna do so much work. Yeah, He's
like, it's gonna cost a little extra for the little girl over there,
but each more, there's less fabric that you have to deal with. Yeah,
but I got a custom make it. But if you want I could
put some cool stuff on the back. I can embroider like mankiller like you
guys were talking about. Yeah, yeah, I go. Zoran goes up
to the detailers like I wouldn't be talking much smack about Adrin the throat cut
her over there. I have seen her kill something. Yeah, oh okay,
fair fair enough, fair enough, my apology. I didn't wandn't mean
to step on any toes. It's fine, she'll step on. I've seen
her cut off somebody's toes for doing that, thought them. Yep, she's
also idri in the Cannibal. All right, that's a little I kind of
just like, hey, hey, the eating part was all rumors cutting off
the toes that actually happened. That's a little fucked up, But I like
your style. Girl. The criminal gang guys like you guys will fuck up
fuck. So this is organized crime, and we're more of like, yeah,
she's Hannibal lector pretty much. So he sells you guys the suits,
and he's like, it's only gonna be about one gold for all four suits.
A bad good deal, good deal, very good deal, but more
more importantly, you guys looking for anything else to buy. And he like
out of his little like little pocket on his suit. He flashes some white
powder. Oh I see something, sugar. I see where you're going with
here. Okay, yeah, I'll take I'll take a little bit of that.
Accross is like, oh look the spice of life. Oh yeah,
I still need to figure out like the copper silver system here. But it's
like one hundred silver. It's one hundred silver one gold, no, right,
or yes, it is it. It can either be one hundred or
ten Yes, the way I did in the way I Jo did in mine
is ten copper to one silver or ten silver to one gold, ten silver
to one gold. All right, so it's like seven silver, yeah,
seven silver for the for the little white powder. Yep. Well Zorn has
just shocked that you guys are even like bothering with such pointless things. Well,
I got drugs, so yeah, all right, So you're either leaving
and going back to Cupola or what Yeah, yeah, go back to Copolo.
I put the cocaine. I actually don't even know if it's coke.
I don't even check. I just put it in my little like little bandolayer
of spices and go back into the thing. It's always not cocaine we called
like dragon horn or something. Yeah, dragon dust, dragon dust. All
right, back down at Copolo's place. All right, you got a Coppola's
place and you guys walk in and he's like, oh, you guys are
back already. Come have a have a coffee. I'm having an espresso.
Let's top business. Yeah all right, cool, So now we can use
your suggestion, uh excel to get some info on the big boss. He's
not still he's not still. No, he's not, he's not. I'd
have to do it again. Yeah, but it only lasts, like I
thought, like, so, yeah, So the way it works is it
depends on what I asked I suggest If I like with Bill, I suggested
you will be my closest friend and confidant for like, you know, until
the spells evers. That lasted. Okay, this time I just said an
incidant. Yeah yeah, but then he's not he's no longer under any influence.
Yeah, gotcha understood? All right, let's talk business. All right?
All right, so it's not exactly a hit just yet. I'm still
waiting for news on who our next target is. But for the time being,
if you want to be introduced into the family. Apparently Antonio, the
tailor you just came from, is doing a little bit of a side hustle,
and oh and it's all it's all good to do a side us,
but you gotta always kick it up to the big man. You know.
You got to kick up a good percentage to me and then a big percentage
to the to the boss. And then he want us to break Antonio's thumbs,
basically, break his thumbs, break his knee caps, make sure he
gives us his percentage, and uh, and apologize. That's about it.
So you want the money and you want him to apologize to you. Yeah,
all right, all right, guys, I don't like how this is
going. We're just doing like mobskin instead of Uh. I love how Zoron
he's trying to get back home to his family and we just ended up joining
the boss. You have not asked the last twenty minute, and I'll ask
a single question about the Boss to any one that wears a suit. It's
hilarious. No, you did, Zoron? Did I think? I don't
remember. I don't remember asking about the Boss. You asked maybe me a
a DM. You didn't ask a guy in a suit from what I remember,
that's true. Okay, I was. I was thinking Axel Rosswood because
he earned the guy's respect. Yeah, I could do that. It's just
like, hey, uh yeah, we could do that. I could break
some thumbs and get some money and make him apologize to you and all that.
Uh do we get to meet the boss after you guys are stole new
timers. So the way it would work is you would get you would get
the money from this job from from this guy. You would kick it back
to me. I'll pay you for your services, and and then eventually the
money, the money trickles up to the boss. As you work your way
up in the family, eventually you'll meet him, you know, all right,
you know what? Okay, Yeah, and reader that right now?
Yeah, I say, yeah, sure, sure we could do that.
I'll say something to you guys once we get outside. Okay, okay,
let's go all right, So I think we just do this job real quick.
Antonio didn't seem like he was really that like dangerous, So we just
take care of this, make sure to get the money back, break a
thumb or two, and then we go back and then I'll cast suggestion on
him like, hey, we did such a good job. You want us
to go to see the boss right away, I'll just do that. This
is this is it. I think we should do what. I don't even
think we need to break his thumbs. We just tell them like Idrin the
Man Destroyer or whatever, will eat his lungs if he doesn't do what we
say. Okay, can we okay? Listen, listen. I understand I
can do the whole hard bit and I can play along with that. But
can we not make it seem like I'm going to eat anybody? Okay?
Okay, okay, what works I'm willing to do I'm willing to do.
Are you okay with the capitations? Yeah? I can handle them? Are
you okay with eye gouging? I can handle a lot of time. I
am like I am in the listen. I I I do study a lot
of things in the medical field. I'm okay. I'm used to seeing gore
and gruesome dessication. Are you okay with a person's liquids? You have sucked
out a person's liquids and have reduced them to a husk like the spider kills
their prey. Are you okay with that? I have a spell that can
do that. There you God, I'm scared of you. Now let's go
and uh try that so we don't have to actually like break fingers and get
our right right, go back over to the tailor and we walk in and
I kind of locked the door and changed it to a closed sign as we
and he sees you, and he's a little nervous, like, what the
hell you guys do? What are you guys doing? What are you guys
doing our job? Apparently? Apparently? What do you mean? What do
you mean I'd nothing wrong? Well, you just sold my buddy there some
drugs and you didn't, uh you did that without permission from the boss.
So now we gotta let the killer dwarf loose upon you. I'm sorry,
this was this was all a trick. It was a trap, and you
fell right in. Yep, you fell into our drug bust. And if
you don't go over there right now and lay down and just bowed for forgiveness
from a cupolo and give all that money you got from that side, hustle
back. You don't want to know what's gonna do to you. But it's
not gonna be pretty. And he's terrified, like he's terrified, not just
of you, but of the boss, that that the boss found out that
he's been selling drugs, which was fine, but he's not kicking up the
money properly. So between the defending selling drugs, bring between the doors.
It's a mob family, dude, they're they're definitely finally selling drugs. Yeah.
So, like the he scared the dwarf, he's extra scared of the
boss, and he's just like, here you go, here, here's the
cut. Make sure Cupolo gets it. Thank you, apologize to Yeah,
you gotta come with us. You're coming back us with us, all right,
I'll come back. I'll come back all right and act like we just
beat the ship out of you, because uh, that's what we were asked
to do. Okay, I mean I elbow him in the nose, like,
you know, like it has to look a little presentable, you know.
Yeah, yeah, I oh, calm down, it's fine. You
got a bloody nose. You'll be all right. He's got a bloody nose.
He walks on over. They go back into the thing. They see
Cupolo and Antonio goes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I would never I
would never disrespect the family. I'm sorry. I'm so forgive me. Please
don't tell the boss. Don't tell the boss, and uh like, okay,
I'll give you this is your last, first and last warning. And
then you guys got the money. The hell there, we got the money.
I just throw a pile of money on the counter and don't even have
to lose any limbs or anything for it. Wow, you guys got you
guys, work quick, and you get to do you get the job done
clean some of the other guys who have just fucking killed him. In fact,
I think I like getting things done. I think you uh, I
think the boss would really like to see the kind of stuff that we could
bring to the table. And with that, I'm going to do suggestion again.
Go for it. Actually, hold up, let me read something else
here. I have suggestion, and I have sharm persons. One of them
does. I'm pretty sure one of them will. I'm just gonna do.
I was gonna say, one of them might reveal that they that they know
that I know, friends does that. I don't think charm does. No,
No, it knows, it knows. Yeah, yeah, they know,
and they know. All right, give me another wisdom, save breaks
wisdom, saal On Capolo. Oh yes, all right, Well he doesn't
work on him, So I don't think I don't think he knows it doesn't
work. He just says, oh, it's it's a little too early for
you guys to see the Boss unless you have some something of value could offer
him, or a business deal or something that you think like right now,
you guys are just starting off. You guys have done one job. You
haven't even done any hitman stuff. Unless you think you could offer something to
the Boss. I see no reason to let you see for no, no,
no, I I was keeping this a secret, but I actually I
know the Demon Lord and I have a special deal. I've come to this
town to make sure the Demon Lord has a special deal with the Boss Baby.
Dah. Yeah, that's definitely good enough. He's just like, oh,
the Demon Lord wants to work with Boss Baby. I was said,
here as his liaison, I think you should go, And I was I
was trying to play it cool, but we should probably go see you.
The Demon Lord got some serious street credit around here. You got a connection
with which Demon Lord? Uh? That would be Danzig Lord Danzig. Oh,
okay, I think I think the big Boss Baby would would be very
interested in this. Come right this way, all right, so he starts
bringing you to the back of the cafe slash fucking poker area or whatever.
In the back behind the bar, he opens a hatch. Okay, it's
the you guys, just drop down this hatch, take the ladder down,
follow the hallway. There's a big door, very wealthy looking. You can't
miss it. All right, you guys, You guys are going down,
head out, and Chad is like, fuck, finally, dude, as
you guys are heading down to be continued, oh, joined the mafia.
