No royalties. Hello everyone, and welcome to Forbidden Lands. Kat is actually
here this episode, and she just had a real quick Okay, I gotta
look at something and cover over, so she's here. Don't worry, we're
all here today. I happy Monday. I slept, so that's a whack
when I first got on the call, and he's like, nothing more than
that. All right, that's fair, but I hope you all are well.
It's funday enough. That's enough. Yeah. For me, it's like,
oh yes, slept, Oh all right, I'll look at you.
You don't do that normally. That's exciting because of that. If I have
more energy than normal, I'll just mute myself because most of this show is
everyone doing things and me occasionally going you can try. Uh. So we'll
just go real quick the character name, general name, and then we'll do
a little recap and we'll dive right in and we'll start with a person looking
away from the camera. Hey, I like gathering people when they're looking away,
not because I'm vindictive or care as good as I like being a jerk.
This is a good way for me to be able to clock out and
leave work alone. I'm technique. I extream goodness, gracious, six days
a week. We have a big big thing coming out as well, cyberpunk
this week, so you can stop buy it for that. Also, on
a show with mister Whack Stephen over there on Friday's called Rhyme of the Frost
Maiden, I played Teddy all over there and I played Ziety here. So
yeah, you get two men different, completely different. Well actually one man
in one elf. Check that out, Nancy Baby, Hi, everybody,
I'm Wax Stephen. Normally I'm the GM of Doom, but in the show,
I try to be the player of Doom. But I feel like everybody
else has outdone me in that and shot me in the leg. So that's
like, just monitor you moved. We have established that you moved. Okay,
this is a well known fact at this point. Yes, I play
Nikekel and he's very stoic and that's definitely not part of my personality or anything.
And uh yeah, I'm Nick Kel is trying to be the leader.
He's trying to be the person that everyone can rely on and he is struggling
with it and he's trying his best. Thank you, thank you for trying,
manassa. Okay, I was like Manassas. That's me. Hi,
my name is dom Kat. I play Manassa. Yeah, I am a
lut goblin and I set a moose on fire last episode. So you guys
should totally check out that last episode if you haven't. They didn't try to
start a forest fire whatsoever. But yeah, I'm currently uh a little sick
at the moment, so I do not mind that sickness will not stop me
from being a luke goblin. Ever, yeah, good, I would.
There would be something seriously wrong if it did. Yes, right, Hey,
Hi, I'm feeling. I play Alkali and I do the streaming thing.
Well that's but at least bloody. Hello, I am bloody faster and
I play Imke. And that moose that Manassa said on fire, I smacked
it across its face with my hammer with my mall here and cracked it's antlers.
That's what I did last episode. So if you haven't caught up,
do that. That's a good one. The Fiuca the mall is is ruthless,
just fantastic, just great, amazing. Millie does approve, by the
way. Yeah, she was very pleased. Excuse me, of course she
knows. Of course I told you. Yeah, she loves it. She's
here in spirit, you know, absolutely, And I'm domestic Dan, your
gm of consequences, and so let's dive in and see what they rustle up
today. So last time on Forbidden Lands, our party made their way towards
the Mesa, this tall plateau out in the middle of the desert, not
on maps, from what Alkali has found, and it is a veritable paradise.
Lush trees and forests, animals, some of which they've never seen before,
though they looked similar to others. A nice flowing stream and a pond
and a clearing flowers. It's just nice and they felt like they got a
bit of a respite, even with catching the very very very large deer on
fire. But other than that, the party just kind of took a breather.
And so we're going to take place there with them around the fire,
roasting moose as we know it, but large deer to them. As they
had just finished talking about metal flower they found often the clearing Ah, I
know, we saw a metal flower. Look before we get all crazy about
this stuff, why don't we just take our time and enjoy what we have
here? Yes? No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
what what what what what? What? Metal flower? What does that mean?
It's nothing, It's just a flower and flower patch. It's you know
that meat looks very good? How it is? It is? Have some
We can talk about this tomorrow. Yes, let's yes, I relax for
once. We can talk about tomorrow. Oh. What we should talk about
now is the fact that you tried to hide something from us. Yeah.
Look, I just want us to enjoy some some time that we never got
to do ever since we reckon you the right to hide it from us.
I thought we all agreed no secrets. Technically I was not hiding it.
I just didn't want to tell you now, so hear. I mean that's
technically what hiding is, though, isn't it. You gotta practice what you
preach. You want us to be a unit. Okay, okay, fair
enough. I told Nikkel any better sony Keel was in it too. I
I knew, yes, we both agreed. Okay at the time we should
just you know, enjoy eat and then go into the possibilities of whatever that
is. I just need a break, okay, yes, okay, okay,
you know what I I don't like the fact that you tried to hide
this from us. But at the same time, I think that we deserve
some time to just relax, some peace and quiet, just you know,
no arguments. Yes, can we do that? Yeah? Yeah, of
course. Like look at this Manasa's leg still needs to be healed. I
know my leg. Yeah? Oh bad way. What if we messed with
something and something bad happen and then you get put in danger once again and
we can't save you. I think about things a little bit further. Then
should not say this right now? Ok Ali, your ribs are still not
healed. I know, I'm just okay. What I'm trying to say is,
yes, if we go messing with stuff, we could put ourselves in
danger. But you and Nikel being the only ones aware of that metal flower,
which could be a sign of something dangerous, is also a problem.
Thought about that this place has been here longer than us. There's no signs.
But if we Tampa, who knows what may happen? Right? We
have a lot of curious minds around here. You being the big one,
you have your device, you have your curiosity, your adventure, and I
adore that. But I also have a best friend with her leg and shambles
too. When you go leg It's true. My roots hurt too. Yeah,
and when you go, she goes, and then what happens? We
are back to square one. All I have to say here is I signed
up to adventure, to go where nobody else has gone before or even returned
from. And I expect to do that. What I didn't sign up for
is a mother, quite overbearing one. That's exactly what you're doing right now.
I'm the mother. Okay, hmm, I'm gonna let you sit on
that. You might be eating a little bit more than moose right now.
I can't sit anywhere else. I don't know what you think I can do.
I did not give her any mushrooms, nothing. I don't know what
she ate, but it wasn't me. Okay, So maybe the shot that
the leg made her forget a lot of stuff. But let's start over.
Okay. From here on out, I surely don't hide anything from you all.
When it comes to finding things, especially something shiny, I definitely make
it known. Oh yeah, okay, how about that censor? All right?
All right, let's stop eat, Let's eat and have fun, share
stories about something happy. We can do this later. We have become professionals
at getting at each other's throats for once. Please, can we enjoy this,
this in the middle of nowhere. It sure feels like somewhere to me.
Yeah, if any of you wondered why this place is here, of
course I don't have any answers. I don't know. The only thing I
know is that I am really grateful that it does exist. This may be
what the whole thing was about, a restart from the beginning. A lot
of corruption, I'm guessing, happened in the Old Ones ways, and this
was the all Mother Whoever's way of rewriting history through the future, a clearing,
a clean slate. This is probably what they were missing out on for
so long. Maybe they forgot how it was to lay in the grass.
From what I see, they were all about bigger and bad off in the
buildings we see that they were there, were they were, They were colossal.
How did they even make those Maybe they got too wrapped up in the
now and forgot about what made us who we are. Maybe that's it.
Let usn't explain why there was a mess wipe out our destruction of the old
ones That explains nothing, A clean slate that doesn't why little flower found either?
Yeah, and why on Earth? Would the Old Ones do something like
that to themselves? Why do you put yourself in danger constantly? Why do
I put myself in danger constantly? Why do we go on adventures knowing the
dangers that are there because we take risk? Maybe their risks cost them more
than they expected. I take risks and expect live. Oh really, yes,
you almost. I don't think the old one? What did we say?
No bantering? I don't mean it that way. I mean it's like,
though we may have our thoughts be positive or in the way that we
picture it, not things do not happen the way we always picture Look at
the machine. We made a very interesting choice for those people. They had
no idea, no control over it. We did. We don't know what
that will bring in the future. Maybe it'll wipe out a whole civilization,
maybe it won't, Maybe it will feed nations. But that idea has sit
on unconscious. Who knows what the old Ones have done. That machine was
built for animals and now being used for people. They benefit more from people
than animals. Apparently there's gotta be something if they benefit from people more so
than animals, And why on earth woul they sacrifice themselves in such a drastic
way because they were told told by who? Artemis? No, I'm talking
about the old ones, oh I that I do not know. Maybe they
had a leader of some sort, or maybe certain factions or tribes decide together
against another tribe, and who knows, whatever it did, it wiped out
everybody. So obviously they did not make the right choice, or did they?
Who are we to judge? Mass eradication of people is sounds indeed crazy,
But look, this is not something we see every day, something to
think about. Okay, So when are we checking out that metal flower that
you found? Huh? Didn't we decide to stop thinking about it? Though?
There is food sitting in front of you and the metal flower is blocking
your senses. This is our us. How much food did you eat already?
Oh? You fish? You probably ate half of the deer? Ha
ha. Okay, the liars now have something to say. Hm hm,
oh I didn't Why he didn't tell the truth either, any cal That's that's
withholding hmm, that's withholding you You asked about it. At what point does
it become telling you the second that we see you versus waiting a few lomons?
Okay, okay, Look me in the eye and tell me, would
you just say that to us by yourself without being prompted? Would you zayire?
Later Ziye asked me to wait, of course, of course anyway,
And if I go ask you to go rob a dead man, would you
do it? No? What does that have to do with telling you about
a flower five minutes earlier or later? Absolutely nothing. I just wanted to
ask this past the meats, please, I I we have to stop this
bantering. That's just story. And I thought it was playful, is it.
She looked pretty angry and she is. She is like confused to the
fact of she's I'm talking about what I said diary. Okay, well,
yes, funny goodness, Okay, fine, eat the meat. Okay,
eats meat. Fine. Also LEAs a pond with lots of fish, lots
of medicinal herbs as well. I can make some potions. Mm hmm.
That's a good idea. Now that's the important stuff. Also, preservation of
the rest of this meat. We have to figure out. Well, I
can dry it and we can save it for later. Yeah, do you
have any salt? No, sand has salt in it. Yes, we
can heat up some. It's possible that we can mix some with the sand
from the from the below. We can mix some water with yes, m
hm hmm, and then we can boil it off. Okay, well we
should do all these things, So I do that. I just like to
say, drying the meat may take a couple of days, so uh huh?
And how many days? If we say two or three? Now?
Because okay, I'd be able to smoke it. I think that might be
the better method. Yeah, okay, Or we could do both, because
there's a lot of it. Yeah, I mean half so half, you
know air right, Well, let's determine how much we have until tomorrow,
so I would what I will do after I eat time? Maybe I can
go fish, make something to fish or spear fish and bring it back and
we can prepare that as well. No sense on not getting off field.
I can go gather some herbs and start making some potions and things. Does
that sound good? Maybe? Yeah? Okay, if you have any other
materials, you can make some traps. She should probably come with you.
That way she could learn which mushroom seed and which ones not to eat if
you'd like. Okay, okay, it was a joke, ha ha ha.
It was not very funny, But well, I apologize. I appreciate
the effort. I'm not very good at this human thing, all right.
You know I have to try something new, right this whole time trying to
loot, you know, more efficiently, And I can teach you how to
make better jokes, the right ideal. Okay, So I don't have anything
better to do anyways, Well, you can start by tanning, so I
can dress you with a better armor. Do you know how expensive these cloths
are? Straight from meridian, hand died? You can wear your hand dyed
stuff over top of the armor that way next time, if an arrow happens
to hit you in a leg, it may not penetrate. I do better
without armor. So you want to walk around with your leg out like that?
No? M okay? So, as I said, I can start
working on some leather for you, at least for your legs, all right.
Well it's Kunta's armor, by the way, If he makes armor,
it absolute would count arm. Right. Yeah, can't can't, can't do
it. I can't do it. Mm hmm. Well do you know fresh
without armor? Do you know how to make cloth? I have some extrare
in my pack. Yes, the flowers around lots of I mean they take
they take a lot to make, but if you have extra cloth, we
can probably still make something out of it. We have to tie things off,
cut things. Mm hmm. All right, well, I'm going to
just finish up my food here and then I'll start looking for herbs and things.
Yes, and I can start by creating some sort of desphere or fishing
device. Anyone going with either of you? I mean we have the food.
I can either work on getting that prepared, or I can go off
with day Area and help him out. Should Yeah, well what happened Monasa?
She can? Well I can. I'll work on starting some kind of
smoke for the food and start to dry it out. Then and then and
then I can go look for herbs. Okay, okay, yes, an
MK can stay here and I can try and practice my humor on her.
Hey yay, now that was funny. Okay, I'm serious though, Oh
but I didn't even tell a joke. Yes, anyway, I am going
to grab some traps, I guess, yes, yes, while Manassa is
cracking jokes next to me. All right, well okay, I shall we
all right, let's go. We'll have to find some strong sticks of sort.
You have your knife? I do, right, I have mine?
All right, let's go. I guess we just go off and started forwarding
for sticks strong branches. I'm gonna probably try and head out and look for
wood that I can use to smoke the meat. Okay, okay, don't
and can I actually uh craft something? Absolutely? What are you trying to
craft? As we sit by the the moose carcass, sit by the meat,
we'll see what do I have right now? Do I have any traps
left? I know you have some free you're the incapacitor. Yeah, well
hmmm, I could yeah, I could make some more for the trip caster.
I have two shot traps right now, but I could make maybe what
canisters do I have I have? I have an echo canister, I have
sparkerss I have five which are anyway? I did give you the blaze canister,
so I wasn't sure if that actually if you use that already? This
I gave you. I think I gave you two less I have zero in
my inventory. I have not written it down. You threw one, mensa,
I know I threw one, so I know that I did give one
as well, So I wasn't sure if you made if you used it during
the crafting of your hammer or not. No, no, she didn't.
So if you gave ones, she didn't market So if I should have it,
then can I use that? Yeah? Okay, awesome, And so
there will be a fire trap I'm guessing right, Yeah, yep, okay
trap if you so you need to do a crafting check. You're doing it
for ammunition for the trip caster specifically, yes, okay, So with that,
then that'll be difficulty free and that would be tech crafting for you.
If you succeed very well, you might get extra like you have done before.
And if you just get a regular success, you'll probably just get the
one. So difficulty three and uh let's put one effort in it. Hey,
that's a success. Okay, okay, yeah, success by a good
amount? You would do? You actually rolled a thirteen needed a free so
yeah, you get to two if you get two for your trip caster specifically
blaze fire so it will light enemies blaze Oh yay. If they go three.
While she's crafting this, I would like to craft some witty jokes.
You have to make a role for that. Yeah, let's let's go with
uh uh f m K let's see. Uh, difficulty for your humor has
been pretty bad, so I think it's a little more difficult for you.
That'll be a joke check. Okay, is that gonna be? Yeah,
okay, difficult for god, don't roll a one. No, I got
this in the bag. Ah, tell your joke. It's successful. I'm
a lumberjack and I'm okay MK. Yes, what's bigger than a giant deer?
Ah? What? M K? After she eats it? Uh?
That was clever, right, A small, small tear go down her face.
That's very funny. Yes, I'm getting better at this. We're going
to switch scenes. This sweet you're that there? Uh NIKEL all right?
So you were looking for wood for smoking the meat? Yeah, okay,
so I'll give it to you because I mean this is kind of I mean,
you're you're a nor brave. You would know a lot of this stuff
off off hand. Green wood tends to be really good because it smoked.
It creates a lot more smoke than dry wood. So I mean you want
to probably a good mix of the two just to get enough of a big
fire up. But I'd say difficulty one to find that survival check work?
Yeah, absolutely, it would, and then in the nineteen that it is
a nineteen and a minor effect as well. Uh, yeah, you're you're
able to find plenty. You probably won't even need to get like extra wood
for the next couple of days. Like, yeah, you're you are set
for a while. Could I instead of finding extra wood, can I find
some herbs while I'm looking for the wood? Yeah, I'd say you could
get a potions worth. Okay, you find some liking on some of the
branches that you're you're up, and you realize, oh, that's actually able
to be used for a healing potion, just a standard one, nothing too
fancy, but standard healing potions. By the way, when they are crafted
for everyone to know, it is a recovery rule. Excellent. This place
is very bountiful. I'm sure that sure that we'll be able to supply ourselves
well before we leave. I just hope that the others aren't getting into trouble
while I'm out. I can imagine and as he's imagining, we go over
too anxiety and Alkali with Nikel grabbing branches of many different dryness factors and liking.
So what are you two doing? I'm currently pulling branches down that it's
like close enough for us, and like pulling them down towards Alkali and showing
her what we can make a good spear. See the weight, it's always
good to angle it down and said, a lot of people like to cut
it all in one size. I say, let the inn be a little
bit thicker than the back part, so weight can carry it down and drive
into the fish. Oh and how are we are we just gonna sharpen the
end of this? I suppose absolutely. Okay, spear fishing is a little
bit more fun than making a stick with a line on it. Plus we
don't really have bait, so you have to get in the water and have
fun with the fish. Also, I think you could use the fun.
So here's a branch. Go ahead, take your knife, all right and
cut it right along that side, right there, close to there. Okay,
hopefully you don't miss this up. Uh wait wait wait, wait wait
wait, sure you ain't cut away from yourself and me. Oh I was
hoping to stab you to death. I've seen things happen. All right,
all right, you have the No you grabbed a brain. I was gonna
say, I have a scale, allright, she's the one doing the cutting.
You're just holding a branch, sir, Your skill needs nothing here.
I haven't enable others skill. I go, go, Yeah, you don't
need to. You're cutting a branch, all right, I think snaps with
a twang. Yep, that's it, all right, And you need to
make a couple more. That's a good one. Okay. So I'm just
gonna fast war time and say we cut down two more. Alright, three?
I think three is good. Now they have these acking branches and we're
going to cut them off and shave them down to a point, right,
all right, good? Good? No, I believe I still have some
rope left, So just take out some rope in my little bag. You're
gonna wrap this around the handle so you don't get splinters. Oh wait,
oh you can try, yeah, okay, then wrap around too good.
All right, now we're ready. Now you have to be stealthy because these
fish are not huge. They're not big. The small and fast and he
kind of just walks over there. God, I just thought about it.
The pond is right next to the flower anyway. But so you two exit
the forest as he's been leading you to this clearing, which you have not
been to you at Alkali, and it's quite a large clearing. You can
actually see the sky up above. Just a few clouds here and there,
mostly just bright sky, large pond in the center with streams coming off of
each side of it, one flowing in and one flowing out, looking probably
northeast to southwest. And then I'll let you decide if you'd actually see the
flower patch. They are purple flowers. Would you want me to roll for
that? That's up to you. It's I would be looking for it,
and you were looking for it, you'd see it. It's not I mean
it's it is a triangle patch of purple flowers with a large, maybe like
two foot metal flower in the center. Not hard to see. So Whatsiety's
gonna do is he's gonna walk towards the pond, but he's gonna kind of
like angle himself towards the flower. Okay, Are you trying to block her
vision of it? Not necessarily. I kind of want her to see it
because she she has a device. I want get it out before we get
the group involved. Got it. Yeah, So if you're if you're not
trying to block it, then no role. It's gonna lead her to it
so to speak, and look at this your water and pretty flowers. Now,
yeah, I brought you out here for a reason, all right,
trust you. I won't say more than the others, but I trust that
you make decisions upon the right of everyone. This is the flower. See
if you can pick anything up, but do not. We came out here
to fish and we will. Did you want the others? But we need
to know what you were getting ourselves into. Did you take a look at
it closer or anything like that? I walked up to it and didn't touch
it. Okay, Nikael was around. All right, let me turn my
focus on you know it. Turn it on and see if I'm getting any
like signal from the flower itself or that area. Yep, the flower lights
up specifically. It is scannable. It's active. Fucking don't mess with it
now. We should not do this this fish, get our stuff ready and
nah block you'll curious spine. You said you walked up to it, right,
nothing happened. Nothing, if anything, is quite beautiful. Let me
let me just try and take a look. We're not supposed to be.
If you activate it and something happens, we will never hear the end of
it. I won't touch it, but you don't have to touch it.
I know how that thing works. M hmm. I know you're curious.
I know you're curiosity is definitely overa overtaking you right now. But we have
to do it. We came I here to do it. Okay, go
ahead and scan it, scan it, just don't activate it or anything.
Okay, I'm going to look at the pond and make sure our offices.
I go ahead and like try and see if I can find any more information,
like any weak points or if there's any like activation point or anything like
that on the flower itself with my focus. Go ahead and give me a
perception difficulty one. Okay, you had to beat to a zero. Yeah,
so no weak points, not it's it's the whole flower itself is is
lit up. It is entirely scannable. Yeah. I'm not really getting anything
other than it's active in some way. There's no point of weakness. There's
good nothing can give it alone. Yeah okay, Yeah, I honestly think
it's providing this place with some sort of nutrients that maybe giving this place.
It's it's it's uh, it's so to speak, to create life. Maybe
I could look at it a little closer. I don't know. I just
think we went already. I don't want to do a discuss justice to the
group, Like, no, you're right, let's uh, let's just fish.
Yes, we'll take a further look at it when everyone's here, But
you have to make sure when you go back you don't just you know,
no, I won't. Okay, okay, good, all right, fish.
There's a lot here. They are vibrant. You want to just slowly
go ahead, spread your legs, and when you are ready to strike,
be sure you strike down hard and true as fast as you can. You'll
miss a lot, but you may be able to determine where they're going.
Don't want to strike where they're at, You want to strike where they are
going. Okay, I think I can do that. All right, I'm
here. He kind of rolls up his and legs and takes off his boots.
You can go on now with shoes if you want to. But hi,
yeah, yeaya, it's called okay, right, I'll take off my
shoes too, because I wouldn't want to get them wet for no reason.
Okay, who's trying to fish? Both all of us? Yeah, okay,
you can both give a I'd say, like it's a gathering skill.
In this case, it would be speed you're trying to hunt or gather hunting
is probably a bit more accurate. But before she does that, where is
my character sheet? There? It is, I want to yours enable others.
It just happens. It is an enable ability. Uh, here you
go. But he does not the button use the help that the helping rules
to benefit another character. There's no accident on your part. Yeah, the
helping rules to provide a benefit. So my guess is, and and we
kind of whack voice his opinion just to make sure that I'm interpreting that correctly.
You would be giving up your You're basically you're helping to give an asset
in this, so you wouldn't be fishing yourself necessarily. She would be doing
the fishing. You are enabling your helping, you're providing a benefit. Yeah,
sure, let's do that. Yeah. So what I thought I was
watching him and following his exact stuff. Would that change anything? I mean
more or less? He just you would be the one who'd succeed and roll
in the fishing, whereas he would be like trying to show you how to
do it. That's how I would interpret that. Maybe maybe I noticed her
stance is not yeah, you're balanced teaching her, Yeah, and you're giving
her an asset. That's that's still pretty dang good for you having to do
nothing right. You don't even have a roll for that. You just do
it right. So he just kind of comes over and grabs her hands with
the stick and he's like, wait there, grace fish underneath you is enjoying
whatever is on your feet. It's eating my feet. No, no,
no, no, no no, it's it's hard to explain, but it
is playing. Let's just say, when you startled it, you want to
pay dict over? Yeah, okay, right, okay? Right. Then
he kind of backs off and just like ready on you. Okay, took
me that speed check, Uh, difficulty for for you? Okay? And
an asset right, and an asset from him? Yep. Spearfishing is not
exactly easy, especially if you've never done it before and have no training.
I will also put an effort in. Okay, that's the one. Was
that what an asset? She's gonna stay on my foot? And she thought,
I guess you're terrible teachers? Are what a would you like to accept?
Jam intrusion or pay an XPE for it. You know what, we
can use some experience because I need I need more perks to make me not
suck at things. So that doesn't change your roles. I'm very sorry.
I'm writing a letter to you. Believe this is one I just comedy.
Do you want to accept it? Okay, great, I'm gonna take it
and give one to us Harrie. Okay, yeah, all right, thanks.
Yeah. So the fish dashes over your foot as you go to stab
down. I'm gonna need you give me a speed defense of two who that's
okay? Alkali? Okay, you said two two, and you barely move
your foot out of the way once you realize the fish is not there anymore,
like just a little nick on your toe. Yeah that you It's okay.
I did the same thing when I was younger. You have to predict
where the fish goes, not where the fish is. Yeah. Are you
okay? I'm fine, It just hurts. Let me see, let me
see holds are no? No, no, no no, no okay okay,
okay, all right, it should be fine. It looks like you
just nicked it. You want to try again? Are you giving on?
Remember where the fish goes here. How about this. I'll startle the fish
and then you stab where you think it's going to go. There's a good
bit of them here. Okay, all right, I'm going to try to
grab at it and that'll lead it hopefully towards you. Just watch your foot
Okay. Oh I should have worn boots. Okay, shall we try again?
You can try one more time? Uh, same difficulty, or I'm
gonna say, bro, this is not life. This is not life.
I said it out loud. I set it out loud and I was muted.
This is not happening. This is not happening. This is not happy.
You do this this every week. I said it. I said it
in our private chat too. I was like, whoever whoever rolls after Faye
is going to be infected. Oh my god, how have you done this?
So you're bringing me on to other shows too? Right? Oh yeah,
we need we need terrible roles in shows. So you're a You're a
staple now, God, okay, all right, speed defense of four?
Okay, it got harder? Oh all right? Yeah? Also thanks Whack
for the battle music for a half there? God? Yeah, did you
move another one here? Yeah? I was gonna say you accept, you
accept? I'm assuming. Yeah, okay, you stabbed down into a fish.
Minor effect that you just got from your speed defense role as you shove
Ziety's foot out of the way of the spear that you almost stabbed him with.
This time, who splashes a little bit? You're a little wet now,
Oh gosh, okay, I hit the fuck. Well, I guess
I needed I said I wanted a bath, so he did. Yeah,
maybe you should fish. I'm better with a boat. I can always shoot
boats. But later, I think for now, we have done a hoot,
So can I just try to grab fish at this point? Well,
I stabbed one, right, so we do have one. Oh yeah,
you got a small trout. I got it at least you pull it out
of the water and it's flopping while impaled, and after a few seconds it
stopped. Yeah, you got one. I did. That's that's all that
matters. A good job. That was eventful. We could go ahead and
no, no, no, no, no no, did you have fun.
That's none of us gotten pailed. I still have a foot and you
still have a foot, and that fish will now be your first fish dinner.
So uh, I think we did well. Good job all right,
okay, yeah, you need all that while you get out how you got
it? Uh yeah, yeah, here here and hand them over the spear
and like start trying to climb out. I'm gonna try to pull the fish
off, and it's it's well stabbed. Oh okay, you would have been
in a lot of pain. Maybe give me a new piercing. So maybe
I noticed that. I'm just like, I will tell you that was a
good strike. Better the fish than my foot. Oh so the your I
don't know, effort is definitely there. I think with a little bit more
practice, you'll be knocking all these fish out. All right, there you
go. I'll let you carry that back. And I just started to put
on my boots, so slimy. Yeah, I've god of things we can
do with that fish. You can just put it right on the fire and
eat it. You can got it, and there's a lot of good stuff.
We'll we'll practice some things back there, maybe away from everyone. We
won't tell anybody what happened. You just succeed it, all right, yep,
So let's head back, okay, and maybe in her slight shame excited,
shame, proud, Yeah, they head back to the camp. Now
correct me if I'm wrong. I think Michael head back already, but if
he has anything else to do in the forest, I would assume that it
takes me a while to like gether. So you could be the last one
to return. Then totally fair. So you two would make it back with
these two at the camp. Uh maybe maybe an occasional jokes from manassa with
uh m case, I don't know, are those were those? Are those
old dry tears down her face? Are they from laughing? Are they from
sadness? Maybe it's the smoke in her eyes if she sat too close to
the fire. So so I guess me and is just laughing and talking and
just I gotta believe we did that? What is going on here? Oh
you're back? Hello? Hello, welcome back? Please Hi, here's another
one. Here's another one before before we end this here? Please another one?
Okay? What is strong and mighty but falls in an instant? A
tree? Mk with sheets of aushroom? Oh, such a good one.
He kind of like hits alcohol. Maybe maybe you should try crafting jokes that
don't poke fun at everyone you can, ever so often I don't know.
Okay, I say we changed subject anxiety. Why are you wet to wash
his ass? Oh? Yes, with clothes on, because that's the way.
Well, we were together, so you wouldn't wash your ass without Why
he washed his ass well being with you though, because you know, we
were multitasking. I was fishing, he was asked, and she's luring them
away and she's really good with a stick. Yeah, so she was handling
a stick near your ass. Is that what? No, I mean it
was like downstream, so it was more so spear fishing. Yeah, yes,
yeah, yeah, I mean it's a it's a big fish. You
were gone for a while though, Well that long we went for a walk
to many many jokes, right, and she did? She did? Were
they all involving MK? Or were they different jokes? They were pretty much
around the same, you know, they were you know, centered around MK.
But I mean, yeah, you were gone for a while. Well,
yeah, you have to take the branches down, You have to cut
the branches, you have to make them spears, and then you have to
do the job of doing it, and she did. It's hard. Where's
your ass? Like, what does yours fit in this part? Just in
the water? You know? Yeah, okay, yours should fit there?
Too soon. Yeah, I didn't. Okay, that's it. Does my
ass fit in the water, Maybe it doesn't, Maybe it doesn't. Now
that was a good joke. Hey, that's pretty good. I wouldn't say
something like that. That'd be rude, get it. That was another joke.
Yeah, okay, okay, okay, okay, all right, you're
you're getting better. Yes, yes, it would say, so keep it
up. So there it goes back. Yeah, Michael, come join us.
We're telling jokes. Well, we're done telling jokes. Actually, it's
over all. Right. I found some wood for the smoking. I got
a fish. Yeah, the fish in front of his face. All right,
that's good, good, just the one. Well, there was complications
as in meat falling in the water and scaring the fish falling in the water.
Oh you didn't mention that. Hello, what was the difference? Fallen
in the water, washing your ass? It sometimes can happen simultaneously. Well,
he decided after he fell into the water that he would then as well.
And I'm going to go back to make a thorough washing this right,
this was just the first pass share away the fish. M hm. I
messed up. Okay, I suck it fishing. It's fine. It's our
first time, and she caught one though I almost stabbed him. Okay,
was it going to say that? In the foot? The same? Okay
in the foot? Why was your foot? Never mind? It's a narrow
because the leg doesn't seem all that bad. Now. I also found some
herbs to make make a potion, so I'll get to work on on the
smoke and we can smoke this meat before it goes rotten. I have an
idea. You need a water puzzle this well, I I suppose that would
be useful. Yes, oh my goodness, look at this, it's just
the saying mmmm, the blaze canister? Well this what's inside that counts?
Remember sand? Yes? But you ordinary sign wet sign that won't really I'm
getting wet. I don't get it. Is this? Ok? Maybe it
walks with death to make it more liable, with fire, to make it
more clay like for what? I'm sorry, I don't understand. You can
make up clay more than pizzle? Will it stay? Again? Have you
have you done this before? I am Also, we make lots of things,
right zim K yes, yes, but you're on your own and making
that because I have And he tosses the he tosses it. K what I
supposed to. You are an amazing tinker, and I believe that you can
create something amazing. He just kind of looks at Whack and just like,
wait, is this a joke. It's a joke, but I don't get
it. Nope, absolutely not. She can make anything. I believe in
her. Mmm, god, damn it. Okay, is it even wet?
Yes? Still absolutely, it's been sealed. Okay, sealed. Yeah,
if you can't do anything with it, do you have? You now
have a canister. Okay, I'm going to start the fire. Help you
do something useful. Okay, I'm going to go and bark on the journey
to wash my ass. So I've been wanting to do it. The horse,
just let him wash his as mka that wants to smell the one sort
of another? All right? What flies has two legs but no wings?
Okay? That cannot be me again? Right, I don't fly, Fuka,
you're getting better. I saw the way you were going, but it
still huts because she's not here with us. Now I will take myself and
gotch my ass. This humor thing is odd. Yes, uh, maybe
you should try again tomorrow, you know, maybe that's that's enough for today.
It's just a lot of humor. At the same time, it's just
not not not good, you know, all right for you because you're injured.
Yes, yes, I need to heal my leg first, yes,
And by tailing jokes, you're using this energy, the healing energy, to
you know, to tell the jokes, and then your leg is not gonna
heal. Right. I know you, I know you're lying to my face.
But but but yes, I am quite tired. I that's just science.
Well, I would say that using your voice and the movements of your
face would probably expend energy, so she's not entirely wrong. List However,
however, there are probably better times to tell jokes too. God, you
know, yes, yes, she's a scientist, she knows. All right.
I'm gonna just sit here and just sit here and watch you all quite
carefully. Okay. So what what what am I supposed to do with this
hand? Now? Alkali? Please help me out here. I think what
he wants you to do is try and fashion it into some sort of like
a bowl, right Like, I am not a I can put what I
can't eat pottery, but I mean I ants either, okay, manassa you've
picked up pottery and whatnot on your travels now, but she has. Would
you be able to see anything high? You're just letting me take the fall
for it. Huh. I thought you said you didn't want me expending my
facial muscles to heal my leg. Well you're not gonna be doing that with
your face though, We're gonna be using your hands. It's different, it's
different different. What are we doing? Uh? We are making a mortar
pestle. I think for me, yes, yes, we won't be able
to deal with the sun that he's gone. I don't know why he thinks
what sand is going to be a mortal and pestle, That's what I was
thinking. Thank you. Are we able to solidify it in any way?
Like here, I take out my family car jea knife. It's decorated with
beads and cloth around handle. Yeah, use the butt end of it,
right, But we still need some sort of like a bowl. Dumplist sand
out of the canister. I feel like he will be very upset give more
sand. Hmmm. Maybe we should, you know, transfer it to something
else, you know, keep it in case. I maybe make one like
out of wood or something. You can try and make it out of bark.
Maybe if you get a big enough piece of bark, has to be
thick enough. I would imagine. Okay, you know what, maybe we
can use some of my tools as a pestle. You know, maybe just
just take some take a knife or something and carve out make sure you carve
out a good chunk, but make sure that it's solid enough, and then
use the butt end of the knife. Easy, okay, Dan? Or
any of the pieces of wood that Nikel brought back, like, would I
be able to use any of those to kind of make a makeshift moole out
of I mean, he mostly got stuff for making a fire and smoking,
so they'd be more like branches rather than like peeling off bark. As was
suggested that stuff like that, there probably wouldn't be any big, like wide
enough strips from what he brought. Some there's like a really good like smoke
coming out now that I've got going, And you can see I've sort of
fashioned like uh, some branches to kind of like hold the meat up so
that it's sort of receiving most of the smoke, kind of a drying rack
sort of deal. And I put like I probably put like a few maybe
some vegetation or something to hold in the smoke over it, for sure,
for sure. So you see a nice makeshift drying and smoking rack with a
number of strips of barely thin because you don't want it to be too thick,
pieces of this large deer. But he made it. It's big,
it's he's probably looks like he's smoking maybe aout a week's worth of rations.
But yes, you can totally go and try to find something that could be
used as a bowl. Yeah, I'd like to try. Yeah, I
would say, give me a survival check that'd be based. If you don't
have that, it's just an innt. It's say difficulty too, Okay,
Yeah you can. You're able to like strip off some bark with your knife
to the point of like it's it's more like kind of a longer bowl than
anything like not a rounda bowl, but more like a long I can't even
think the word in a half cylinder. There we go, right, but
still kind of like usable in that instance, one hundred percent. It'll hold.
It'll you could probably bend up the edges a bit to prevent things from
following, but it'll hold. Nickel, does this look like it'd be good
enough for you, and I would hold up the let me take a look.
Uh, that's definitely better than what I've been trying to do on a
rock. Should help. Good? Thank you now, it's fine. You
did a good job on this. Do you do you need any help?
I also have that fish. I don't know how to prepare a fish.
I'm sure that I can make room, okay, I think, uh,
I think otherwise I have everything in hand here. As as Sayii's mentioned and
we've seen this. This forest is very bountiful. It makes things a lot
easier. We're only staying for two days. Are differently, I know.
I'm just making sure you know. Just I would lean all intentively. I
would lean into Nickkellen and whisper. I scanned the flower and it's active.
What does that mean? It means it's functioning. So it's doing something.
What is it doing? I wasn't able to get a good enough reading on
it, so we'll have to go back together. All right? Yeah,
do you know how to how do I cut this thing? This so slimy?
Why are you cutting the fish? The fish? Oh? I am
help with that. Oh A nod to Nikel and bring the fish over to
MK. Yeah, oh look at this, big boy. You need to
make sure that you take all the bones out. What are you five?
What I mean sure? I don't take the bones out for you? Do
you eat the bones? M kay? No? I don't eat the bones.
Okay maybe sometimes, and they have calcium. It's good for you.
I wonder what your insides look like. Haven't have you ever been close to
death from choking on a never mind? Oh? I think I found a
joke. Yes, but that won't stop me. What never mind? Okay,
you do not appreciate gurmet food? I do you do what that means?
So? How can you appreciate it? And I'll just just turn around
and start cleaning the fish? Put my knife, ud, I assume you've
done this before. Yes, then yeah, you don't need to roll.
Okay, food's kind of your thing. You can have no problems, thank
you? What are the rest are you doing? Before time passes? Probably
once the food is situated, I'll probably work on a potion. Okay,
Yeah, it's it's take a long time for that to smoke, so yeah
I will. It's smoking meats. It takes hours, so yeah, you
can. You can attempt to make a potion. I don't know how many
different types of materials you have. I know you got the one you found
here and before I know anxiety found some, but I don't know if he
gave that to you. He didn't give that to you, then you just
have the supplies from yours he did. Okay, so then you have enough
to make two just run of the middle standard health potions. So that would
just be unless you have a specific skill of herbalism and potions. Oh,
that seems like a newer skill that you've received very in my last advancement.
Well, that would be a difficulty three. But with your skill, you
can definitely use that any effort you'd want to. And then for these you'd
get, you're going to make both of them or just the one. I
think both, since I'm already working on it. Yep, you don't have
to roll twice if you don't want to, then okay, Well you did
roll after, you did roll after, Faye. Yeah, but I rolled
really well before and now now, Yeah, this is my own failure.
I must accept it. You were accepting, all right, take your XP
and give one to someone else. It's spreading. I will give my XP
you. It makes sense here I guess AERI he gave me the other ingredients.
Mm hmm, you make two health potions. They smell a little off,
and it's very likely just because of these weird the the area. You
haven't quite seen these particular like and know they look correct. They smell a
little weird, but it's probably fine. O piochi m strange? What is
Oh? Nothing? What what happened? Oh? No, I was I
had just worked on some some potions. Just finish them up. They just
smell a little differently than what I'm used to. That's they're probably not a
good sign. I think they're fine. I mean, if you want me
to try anything, I can drinking the potions would nickel just a little bit,
just a little bit nickel, you know, just do what my lips
a little bit? You know what? Fine, I just want to help.
Okay, you can try it if you want. I'm busy. I'm
playing myfish. You just never mind. Yeah, see her vigorously descaling the
fish. Okay, is anyone else doing anything in the midst of this or
just relaxing? I probably would have like taken out a book that I've had
with me the whole time that I haven't really had like much time to read
since now we're finally relaxing, and i'd probably just be leaning back reading.
Okay, all right, i'd be doodling on my journal. For my map,
i'd be updating it. Yeah, I think you were you. We're
making some checks for that, I want to say, right, so,
yeah, we haven't done those for a little while, because you haven't really
messed with your map much. All right, well, let's let's have you
a do a role there. Can I give her my PDA that has some
of the landscaping to help her? Yeah, I would definitely work for an
asset for sure. Okay, some things aren't the same as you've noted,
like this MESA doesn't exist on your map, the PDA map specifically, But
yeah, you can give like kind of it's a cartography check, is what
we'll call it. That'd be based. I don't know if you have a
skill that relates to this or not. I don't think you do, but
I don't want to assume. And since it's been a while, it's going
to be a difficulty five because you're trying to recall a bunch of terrain that
you haven't put on your map. All right, so do I get you
said, I get one asset, you get an asset from the PDA.
Yep. Okay, but difficulty five yep, we do two effort two ef
foot all right, one asset a one asset and that is a twenty very
nice. Wow wow all right yeah wow, yes, you you kind of
remember some of the tips and tricks that Fayuka gave you when you were first
wanting help with your mapping, uh, and you are able to apply those
really really well. I'm sad I made that joke now out of character,
and it's yeah, you're you're able to like you're you're writing down like photographic
memory style of like the path and like some of the like landscape you saw
between Fall City and here the tunnel system. You kind of roughly estimated the
distance it took between the tunnel system on the rail. It's very very very
accurate. It looks really good. The main thing you note and you're looking
at that old PDA and maybe maybe even I'll just because you've got a major
effect, so I'm going to give that to you. This Masa was not
here, Okay, You're like looking at the PDA. You even kind of
figure out a way to kind of manipulate the map a little bit on the
PDA and mace is new new. Hmmm, Alkali, yep, have you
looked at this recently when once we arrived? I don't, I don't think
when we got here. No, why, well come here, Okay,
I found out that I could, you know, touch this and it I
can manipulate it a little bit. Now if you look right here, this
is apparently from what I can tell, this is apparently where we're at.
Wait, that's us or this? Huh what do you think it is?
I mean, I don't know exactly what it is, but it tells me
that this is all new. So it also makes me wonder about Zayire's theory
because this hasn't been here for a while. Well, make sure you note
it down, all right, strange very a place like this doesn't well,
I mean, it would have to take a very long while to grow and
become all of this. Well, it's been a very long while since the
old ones. We're here, true. Don't you find it a little odd?
Yeah? Yeah, I do. This place is out of the ordinary,
right in the middle of this wasteland. Well, before we seary craft,
let's take a look around in a bit. Okay, it is getting
dark soon. Can wait till tomorrow. We can look around more. Tomorrow
when we're I'll look for more herbs and we can make more supplies before we
leave. Agreed, we'll pop over to Siety real quick. Splash blair.
She was washing his It was good well since she missed it. And I
can't be mad at that, can't be. I can't be mad at that.
We come back to a clothed and drying off xiety, drying off in
cloth xiety. Yeah, there you go. Actually, I just have a
wrap around my my uh my little Xaiety in areas, So I made a
ai doochee uh and uh, I'm just he's just laying down in the grass,
just wiping off and drying out his hair. And then he looks up
and you can see the light. I'm guessing he was the light on it
right on what on the flower? No? Okay, so I guess he
just notices the flower patch and he smells the sweet scent and he's just just
like yea, oh sorry. I was just gonna say it's not dark out
yet, it's probably getting dusk. And because you're in a clearing, you've
got a lot more light than say, if you were in the forest,
so got you. You are plining us with all this on you. You're
the only one that gets to see me like this. I guess I don't
have to be too shy or embarrassed. Well, for the fish didn't do
much for help and catch them. So he kind of gets up and he
walks over while trying his hair, gets close to the flower and then really
close and puts his face right up to it. Hm, does it do
anything? Yeah. When you walk up to the flower and like kind of
step maybe around or like through the purple flowers in the triangle, the flower,
the metal flower opens up, it blooms, so to speak. When
you get next to it, you are alive. He just kind of looks
down and looks down at the ground, trying to see if there's any roots
or anything. Nothing you can see from the naked eye, you are tricky.
Yeah, he wants to go up and touch it, but then he
kind of remembers what he tolls alcohol told alcohol, okay, all right,
you open and then he kind of backs up. The moment you step out
of the triangle of flowers, it kind of slowly folds itself back into what
looks like just a normal bud mmmmmmmm mmm interesting. Indeed, yeah, don't
worry. I uh yeah, So I just go ahead and like take my
clothes and and like fold them up and put them on top of my head
with my you know, I'm holding it on top of my head. Yeah,
And then I walked back to camp. Okay, all right, And
as I said, Harry walks back to camp, we'll return after the break
when he arrives. It was a nice segue, wasn't it. That's right.
Well, thank you everybody for being here so far. Thank you for
that raid, and we did see that and we do appreciate those during our
shows. Thank you very much in general. Yeah, and all the gifted
subs from some people, thank you. We appreciate you feeding WHAC as well
as feeding our production here on Table story. It is very important and we
appreciate all of you. Yes, and so is wonderful things like all of
the awesome shows we have which you can support by subbing patreoning that's the verb
of that, and many other cool ways, like looking at that money cook
link that they provided for us, because they're super cool and we like them
when we use their system. But all in all, thank you everybody for
being here. We're going to just take a quick three or five minute break
and then we'll be right back with this MESA been discovering and looking at this
flower so interesting. Don't touch that. Dial'll be right back. Hello and
welcome back to Forbidden Lands. Thank you for taking that break. We had
a couple of things we had to sort out before we came back, and
we're all good now. So we come back to the camp. The smell
of smoke meats is in the air, maybe a bit of a smoked fish
as well as the four of them sit around this fire. As dusk begins
to turn into night. Anxiety walks through the forest in his small clothes,
carrying the rest of his clothes as he is air drying. Oh whoa,
sounds like they got the smoke going. So I just stopping it's coming and
clearing. Looks good, looks really good. You have a good swim,
Oh the best math. I feel so relieved. I feel free and clean
as a whistle. I try to catch some fish on the way down,
but yep, that didn't work. As I as I see Anxiety, I
I just I I become really flustered and I'm just gonna just hide my eyes
kind of like I'm not I'm not looking, but I'm not just I'm not
saying anything. I'm just doing that focusing on the food and the cooking.
I'm focused on my book. So I'm hanging my clothes up. Matt,
Matt, map m what you've never seen a man with his shirt off?
Ah? Boy, okay, that's awkward. Saw what's happened? Did you
guys come up with the He's like kind of standing over the smoker. I
a clean a fish good. I made some potions. I made a bowl
for him to make his potions. And he walks over to the post bowl.
Ah, what kind of potion is that? It's a well, it'll
it'll it's a health potion. Just you know, it looks a little bit
different, smells a little bit different, but should do the job. Yeah,
wait, we got the recipe for solved. Maybe we should premix some
kind of solve of some sort around his way. Well, I figured tomorrow
we could look around a bit more. I'll pick up some more supplies and
make some more potions. Yes, we should look around since we're spending two
days here. He walks over to manassa. Yes, and I need to
make you some uh some clothing. I just need pants. I can do
that. So does anybody else want to know where the good spot is to
clean? There is rushing water. You can just sit there in Uh.
Yes, I think we should trouble wash. But the water is its extremely
it feels really good. It's it's it's not too cold, it's it's great.
Probably before it's dark out. Good idea alkali? Okay, yes,
but what's that one? Does she need help? I walks over? No
no, no, no, no no no no no no no no no.
You just stay there. We're going to go to the water. We
are going to the water. We're going to the water. Yes, I'm
all right. Do you want to stick or two to take? Just in
case you want to get fish? Alcona has learned tashi pashi though, I
mean, you know, we can take the stick with us, you know,
just in case. Now, whether these or not, who knows,
who knows? Yeah, okay, I will I will take the stick.
Okay. I don't need to be carried by the way. I just need
to help up. Do you want to use the stick to walk? Okay?
I can offer you another stick? You want one to six you have,
I have three. The one just give me one, i'l be fuca
for Yeah, the bigger one could be good for walking. These smaller ones
have a more angle to them for stabbing. Now, MK, I believe
that you can fully go through a fish with your stream, so I think
you should take the skinniest one. Excuse me, Okay, maybe how can
I can show you how to do it? This will be a good bonding
experience. Alkolai is going to show me how to use the stick. Okay,
well I caught a fish to do you. I didn't try it.
Come on, so I'm like, I'm all right over to where, like
where you came from. As Manasa is doing that, I am just so
flustered and I just want to get out of there so fast that I'm just
gonna kind of kind of not power walk, kind of walking away power walking
away. And as I'm doing that, I'm just gonna grab Manassa runs over,
keep going. Do you have specific? We're going goodbye bye, good
bye. Three of them leave. It turns around, looks at what I
don't I don't understand. I don't understand anything. Half of the time,
ladies will be ladies. I guess. Mmm, I'm kind of figure out
how I can. We have all the materials. I'm gonna make her something
really nice pants. Yeah, but I want to kind of make it freely.
Well what does that mean? Like a floor? Like a flower?
Speaking of which, the flower opened, m hm, it opened, yes,
Alkali mentioned that. Oh, oh, she told you. Yes,
I cannot tell her anything. Well, we walked over to it. I
asked her a skinner just to make sure I wasn't a danger. You know,
we didn't touch it anything, but I got a little close to it
tonight, all this evening. Ah, it opened and then when you walk
away from it, it closes. So it's senses. I don't know if
it's a perimeter barrier or if it's a vibrations I don't know. I couldn't
really, I didn't want to touch it. Very tempted, but I want
to make us something sort of like a flower. Oh, gave me an
idea. Well, I don't know that I've ever seen Manasa interested in flowers.
She likes flowing rags and clothing of some ther mm hmm. Maybe well,
I suppose that she likes shards quite a bit. Okay, So we
make I make up something that looks like a shot. Maybe some kind of
shard design I don't know, m Or maybe I can take some leather along
with the cloth and make her a bag that can go around her leg.
Maybe. I don't know how much leather we have. I've gone through all
of my leather that I got from the bore. You forget about this big
thing right here. How much do we have from the from this deer?
Good question. I guess I'll go over there and check and look at it.
I was him, Yeah, I mean I would assume that would be
on m K. So out of character did she do anything? She cre
she cut the meat from it. Yeah, so there's there was a number.
There was a bunch of butchering of the moose by MK. Yeah,
no, she she totally did that. So like you didn't have to do
much work to get this the meat smoked? Uh, Nikkel, I think
we were talking about the leather. The oh, the leather, Sorry,
I buy spaced on that with other meat. Well, yeah, that was
still cut away so that she could do the butchering of the meat. So
there's there's like probably I would say one side has been removed the other it's
laying down on still so because it wasn't entirely butchered, so there's still a
good amount of leather left on the other side of it, but half of
it has already been probably just tossed it over a branch, so it's not
actually set up for tanning or anything. Well, that takes a while.
We have two days, all right. I think I'm gonna use that this
second. It's a little bit more drying. They could wash it down and
start tanning. Build a tanning rack of some sort. We have plenty of
sticks around here. I was particularly well, it wasn't my specialty. My
father any more about it than I did. I can. You are an
incredible passin. I've seen you do things that I did not know Nora was
even possible to do, because I felt like they all grew up kind of
well, I don't know, not shelter had, so to speak, but
more on a narrow path, no certain trials and tribulations, no outside the
box thinking that's what they taught us in US Lands. No offense. But
I think you can do Wann't you help me build a tanning rack? Can
we do it together? Our fashion? Uh? Huh and uh, I
think we have plenty of supplies around here. I can make us something really
nice, all right, I suppose I can help think of it as a
bonding thing more alike with us with them, things have been so hard.
I've been trying to do my put my best foot forward, even though it
almost got stabbed. You know I'm not I'm still having trouble understanding how were
you almost scabbed? Oh, let's just say, how can I have strengths
in areas where we don't really expect it? So I thought her balance was
a little off, But you know, you don't. Don't tell her that.
She went down for the step. Her balance was so off, all
of her weight went into the stick and I almost lost my foot. But
she went straight through that fish. And let me tell you, she probably
could have kebabed I don't know, two or three more. Maybe the next
time she goes to fish, you can put about the same amount of distance
that we try to when MK uses her cannon. Yes, absolutely well,
I did put distance at first, and she almost stabbed us up. Matter
of fact, she nicked herself. But don't tell her that I told you.
Let's just say they're gonna have fun out there with their fish, all
right, might want to have your potions ready. Let's see if we can
get this drying rack. Yes, absolutely, start to look for some some
wood that we can use for a drying rack. Okay, for branches,
yeah, I'd say this would be like in this sense more of like a
kind of a crafting check, because you're trying to set up leather to dry
and tan. So yeah, I would say that's probably a bit intellect based.
Maybe speed, but probably more intellect unless you have a skill that you
think might apply. I would say, I mean just to find the sticks
and everything, and and probably difficulty for honest Okay, okay, mate,
Can I use my eye for detO scan the area to get some really really
really good sticks and branches? Maybe that I'll knock down my difficulty a little
boom area no longer than or no larger than a typical room, so it'd
be like a ten to fifteen foot area kind of thing, and then you
get to ask a question about the area truthfully and only once the twenty four
hour periods. So yeah, you can totally do that, okay, And
that's what I want to find, Like, can I find the best looking
like you know, most sturdy branches around I should say, are there around
us? I guess I have this. Yeah, you can totally spend your
points. And I mean, so what is the question you're asking? Because
that's the specific thing with this is to intellect that's it. Are there are
there like really sturdy you know, branches are wood that can be reused as
well. Yeah, the ones that you'd want would be green, green branches.
A little bit up. You'd have to do some climbing, but you
could totally get her. Okay, Ah, where's my sheep? I never
pulled mine out, but now I did, and it's hard to keep up.
Okay, Okay, two intellects, I'm gonna take two away from me.
All right, done? And then what a speech check? Yeah?
Yeah, climbing or speed, whichever one you have. I think I have
something more difficulty too, pretty simple. And then I'll factor that into what
you've just done, Nikkel. Okay, because I think for you you're probably
more used to actually tanning things occasionally for yourself, since you tend to stick
with hides. Okay, well, exactly what you needed. Goodness, So
yeah, you dexiety climbs, up chimneys, up a tree, get some
of the thicker branches that are very much alive and kind of help like saws
off a bit of them and tosses them down to Kel, who then strips
the branches and sets up kind of a kind of not haphazard so much as
a quickly made tanning rack, and then you see him stretch the leather in
between those as they've been pounded into the ground and getting ready to let that
pan. Now, normally in real life there's more of a tanning solution you
have to use to make sure that it does it correctly. And for the
sake of Nikkel having some experience with this and having his you know, explorer
pack, he's he's got some stuff to work with. That smoke can also
do some of it. That is absolutely true, and so he's probably got
it leaning like right next to the smoking rack that he'd built in order to
help set that up and speed it up. So to speak. Look at
this, I you did it. I mean, do you have my help,
of course, but you are what I can say very big here some
times there I love it. Thank you. This is going to be perfect.
I'm going to make a thigh back. That's what I think is going
to come out looking like I'm just happy to help, thank you, and
for the cloth. There. I've seen some some, some flowers and some
mm hmm. It wasn't really my specialty. I was more of a metal
worker. But can't you take flowers of some sort and and then make cloth?
I have, I have good designs in my head, but I don't
m mmmm moss. I already ponders that and thinks will shift over to the
other group you've can brought up to. It only takes about maybe five minutes
or so to walk from your camp that is set up to get to the
clearing Alkohli knew the way already, as she's been there once. Now we're
not here to bathe, are we? Oh? Of course not. I
mean yes and no, I mean I want no. You don't think I
would miss an opportunity to snoop around. I just feel bad because I when
I was out here with Zayre, I mentioned to him that we would all
come over here tomorrow to investigate. But you already investigated it, didn't you.
No, I just scanned it, so you were over here looking at
it. It's right over there across the water. I just I just put
my focus on that's all. That's still investigating hardly. Cheetah can't help what
I have, true, and I can't help that. I'm curious. All
right, let's get over there. I want to see this shiny little thing.
So just to make sure, are we not washing our asses? We're
definitely going to bathe, but that's not going to take forever. Okay,
No, just all right, let's get you over there. And I would
try and help get Nasa over across towards the flower so that she doesn't get
wetter or anything like that. Yeah, if you cross on like the over
one of the streams, it's it's pretty easy to do without having to get
soaked or anything. Oh oh, how big is this flower? Again?
So the metal flower itself is maybe foot and a half two feet and it's
bloom, but then it's probably a good five feet a side of the triangle,
if not, maybe even closer to ten for the triangle of purple flowers
that surround the metal flower. Purple flowers are natural, like maybe almost like
a lip or some kind of not a daisy, but that's size. I
will pick one and smell it smells nice, very sweet. I'd like to
try and get a closer look at it this time, Dan, and I'd
also like to use a skill that I have called device insight, which the
question I guess I would have about it is if there's any way for me
to find out, like what its capabilities are or what this flower is designed
for in any way, shape or form. Gotcha? Okay, time I
use this. He asked the GM one question about the device. It's difficult.
This is for difficult or strange things beyond the readily understandable, which would
totally fit for this. So yeah, take your cost away. That's three
D. If you do have edge that does reduce costs, that works for
abilities? Oh that works for abilities too, awesome? Okay, your abilities
get cheaper as you add more edge. But so can you summize your question
again? I think I know, but I wanted to your specifically. I
think mostly I just want to know what this thing does, like what basically
like, why is it here? What purpose does it serve? Okay,
you don't know now, Granted has mentioned before, And the answer I'll give
you is you have You've only given this like a a quick glance, like
it highlighted with your focus, but you didn't scan it with your focus,
because that gives readouts of machines and you know things you find. All you've
done is basically seen. Ah, that's scannable. Okay, as you mentioned,
you didn't you didn't investigate it at all, which was true. You
didn't scan it, you just saw it. But its purpose without scanning it
would be entirely unknown because you have no details. Okay, I would have
assumed that, I would have you, I would have scanned it just now.
But if you scan, if you are scanning it right now, that's
what I'm asking. I don't want to assume those sorts of things for you,
because stuff happens you are scanning it now, then okay, you can
check your journal because a file pops up when you scan it should have just
been revealed to you picking up something. What looking at this, it's giving
me some sort of a readout, and it says sweltering summer, A little
tiny fern flows into the coral. Wait, now gotta said that. It's
it's it's when I'm looking at it. I'm seeing this with my focus.
Whoa sweltering summer? What going to touch it? Don't touch it? What
do you do? No? Don't touch walks up to it. The flower
opens, it's going to eat you. No it's not. No, it's
not. No, it's not. If it was going to eat us,
it would have already done. So it doesn't do any more than that.
No panel shiny, oh, very shiny, very very shiny panels. It
doesn't react. Maybe the metal is a little softer than you think it should
be. But hmm, I said, you just kill here seeing this.
Okay, can we just not put our hands in metal flowers eyes? She's
got her focus in it. What the hell there are? Let's just wash
up and tie and piece together whatever was this supposed to be? With the
boys? Okay? Okay, but we gotta tell them what we know.
Okay, I don't plan on it. Okay, I'm sure that they are
intelligent enough to figure out that we came over here for a reason. I
wouldn't be so sure about that, but I'm sure Nikel is intelligent enough to
figure out that we came over here for a reason. Okay, now that's
better. I'm kidding. They're both very intelligent. Me too, Yes,
me too. I'm also kidding jokes. So let's wash up then, Okay,
yes, I mean you said it, not me. And after some
time they make their way back to camp or are you doing anything else after
cleaning yourselves up and refreshing? That was it? Okay? I try to
clean around the wound that's wrapped. Yeah, it doesn't seem to be infected,
which is good and mostly because the alcohol was poured on it and there
is there is a good amount of care taken to your legs. So it
looks like it's I mean it's it's a fresh wound. Like you remove the
bandaging, it will bleed, but it looks okay, you're not getting an
infection, at least not right now. So yeah, after refreshing themselves,
they make their way back to camp and maybe I don't know, half hour
or so is when that would be. And you would see what the two
of them have done, which is set up a tanning rack to kind of
smoke the hide in lieu of some of the tanning solutions that would be needed.
And yeah, the meat is still smoking. Maybe it'll be done in
a few hours. Oh my my, oh my, you've been busy.
Huh very nice. Yeah, you know, I said I wanted to fashion,
So yeah, I'm doing what we can. We're just trying to dry
out this leather from the deer that you slew. Mm hmmm very good.
So wait, did you guys wash or not? Yeah? To say stinky?
All right, Vanassa rub that flower in her armpits. Thank you very
much? All right? So did you find the death? I'm not looking
at this point, I'm just like focusing on the okay, focusing on the
tanning rack. Did you find the uh, very refreshing or the water?
I should say? What a refreshing? Very much, so very much so
good good yea. So how was the flower? Yeah? Very poetic,
very soft. Actually m m, I didn't know metal on skin was that
good of cleaning? Well we do, we did bathe mm hmm. So
what did you find out? Because I know you didn't just go play in
the water. I would stand next to him and take my hair and drain
it right next to Ziony. You can't well you doubted that I was bathing?
No, I did not doubt that I was hoping you were bathing.
And why didn't that mean you were hoping? Huh? What? Because you
get distracted very easily, and I know everyone smells so bad that too.
I learned something still said that Nikkeelee said that the stankmaster. Okay, all
right, I didn't say that I wasn't smelly. Okay, well, good
thing, because I don't be why. I guess I'll just keep what I
learned to myself. I guess. I guess. So they're not integrated,
they're not interested. Well, let's let Nikel go do his bathing if he
wants to, and then we can discuss it when he's back. No,
let's discuss it now, okay, and then Nikkel can go wash his ass
as well. Okay, let's just talk about it, okay, okay,
all right. It was either a poem or some sort of a clue.
I have no idea, but when I took a reading of that flower that
we were looking at before Zariarie, it said something along the lines of sweltering
summer, A little tiny fern flows into the coral. Does that just sound
like poetry for no reason? Or does it sound like some sort of a
hint? Probably sounds like how this place was made. I think I'm not
too far from the mark. I believe this gives life back into death.
I mean, it's a little bit more meaning to the words, maybe a
little bit more poetry, but for it. It looks like it. I
feel that that has been feeding the earth the nutrients to restart. And by
that, have you scanned the roots? I scanned the whole thing. I
didn't find any roots or anything. It did not looked down or you didn't
find any at all? No roots? So how is it stable? Maybe
it's one large stem neckles all of it down. Mm hmm. It has
to have something. Did you try to pull out it? Well, maybe
we should go do all these things. No, I'm just making sure you
didn't tamper. Were not pull on it, Okay, I just pet it.
Gosh. I said it was soft. That was it. I think
the meadow flower is soft. Yes, it's a strange, but it was
very soft, very smooth. That's odd. Don't worry. We didn't tamper
anything or whatnot, because we all said we would go there together and tamper
and I wonder, well, we'll figure that out tomorrow, won't we.
That's what you said tomorrow. I mean, that's that's what he said.
That's what we agreed on. You know, I'm just following our agreements.
I don't think we're going to get much else from it. We have to
look around more there. That's not that. We've only went from point A
to point B that flower. We haven't looked anywhere else. Okay, there's
more land beyond that. You're right, You're right, Okay, yeah,
Michel area this week. I wonder if there's some restrictions to how far it
reaches. As far as I went, it looks lush. I haven't seen
another one. How about you. I don't understand. Do you mean here
on this plateau? Yes, meadow flower. If it's let's say I'm right,
and it is putting nutrients back into the land to grow something like this,
that one flower is all of this. I don't know. I don't.
I don't know why the all mother there does what they do. I
I don't. I don't know. We don't even know if that's the actual
purpose for it, because we haven't done any investigating further that it is.
Looking at the flower. That is a very interesting idea. One flower could
give life to so many. Don't do that. Don't do that. Stop
stop assuming that's what it is. What you want though, think about it?
What if it is it's okay to do to dream when something's going don't
get too excited. Don't get what time is it? Just don't just don't
okay, maybe not what time is it? In the game? It back
to the people in the world. We leave it where it is, and
we look around and find more information. Maybe there's some sort of old one
facility. Maybe there's something here. Of course, I'm not saying we take
that one. We want to take from this. All right, well you
all, you all continue this conversation, but more down. I'm going to
go sleep. Can I get up? So he just walks up to her
and he like takes his rope and like while she's sleeping, He's like,
she's going to sleep, and he just like puts it on her leg and
mm hmmm, what are you doing? What? That's very uncomfortable? You
know, you could just ask do you know the measurement of your leg length?
The size? With no, I don't hurry up and do that so
I can sleep? All right, how's it feel you seem NASA nodding off.
Quack gets up and he runs off, goes back to the timmy rack.
Let this drive for the morning. Well I will see you guys bright
and early. Then, so it just kind of lays down. I'm not
saying to not have hope, siary. I'm just saying we've been disappointed before,
disappointment more in the terms of death and unexplained negative things happening around us.
This is positive for once. I'm just saying I'm not gonna get my
hopes up to the disappointment, but damn it feels good to have something to
maybe look forward to. This might be the key. Maybe all of our
answers lead to this is the first clue, the first step, and the
more we go, the more we go down that path, maybe we will
find more of our answers. Maybe there will be more of those flowers.
You know. That's what I'm talking about. It. Get to bed,
Yeah, good night, good night, good night, good night, good
night. I think I'm just gonna say wake for a little bit. Uh,
not doing anything. I'm just i just can't sleep, Okay. Do
you just stay up most of the night or until you eventually get tired or
yeah, I'll stay up for maybe an hour and then I'm just gonna doze
off. Okay, and takes a little bit, but then mk All's asleep
and we see the rest of them doing their nightly rituals, whether that's jotting
down things, in a journal or looking over there, I'd say, looking
at the shinies. But Monosa fell asleep very very quickly, and the smoke
continues to fry out the meat in the leather, and after a wonderful night's
rest where they can hit that rest button on their character sheets, morning comes.
I think before we've established the most part ni kel is the first to
rise. Almost always anything in particular, you're doing ni kel when you wake,
Yeah, I'm probably stretching, and I am. I would assume that
I am probably going to bathe while people are asleep. I wasn't going to
go at night in the dark. That's fair, may be reasonable. As
a hunter, you would know that that's a very vulnerable position to be in.
Maybe not doing that when it's dark and predators who can see at night
could see you. So all right, so yeah, I'll probably I'll probably
bathe and wash my clothes and other than that, maybe run a little bit
before I bathe. Okay, lets get into exercise. Make sure I'm limber.
Absolutely. They don't need a roll for that. This is a daily
ritual for you. That's what you do. The flower is still sitting over
there, doing presumably nothing anything else you want to do after stretching noticing the
flower aside from a glance at it, I don't think so. I'd probably
okay, I'd probably just be concerned. I'd probably be washing my clothes and
whatnot and just thinking, like, worry about me smelling the whole group smells
bad. It's not just me for sure? For sure, who's the next
to wake up? Mikekel would not be there when you wake up, But
that's actually kind of normal. Maybe you've gotten kind of used to that where
if you're the late risers, Nikekel isn't at the camp. It comes back
pretty quick sometimes with food, though maybe not today. Yeah oh yeah,
now this time to check out by a nather and then lay my clothes in
the flower bits, all right? So yeah, Ziety kind of gets up
does maybe his morning wrists will maybe snacks on something real quick and then stretch,
you know, check out his sword. He looks at the tanning right,
says okay, and he's a little bit longer, and then he wants
to gather around the camp maybe another day or so for the leather. M
still sleep good and a it doesn't are there any other flowers around? He
doesn't have to go back to that same spot. It's not really on the
flower like on the forest floor, not much, just because there's there's not
a lot of sunlight. Like it's here and there, and some of the
shrubberies might have like small small flowers, but not like no, no,
like wildflower fields or anything. Okay, Well, just so just like take
his clothes and kind of just like lay them out while he goes and stretches
and like does his routine of practice and his sword techniques. You went down
to the meadow for that? Yeah, I don't know. I'm trying to
like not hit that place so much. So it's kind of like in a
in a clearing that he finds. Maybe he finds a nice clearing that has
trees to circular, maybe a bare patch. Okay, why don't you go
ahead and give me like a let's say, following tracks would fit well for
this Okay, difficulty, but who okay, I don't think I have that
actual role for that. Where is it? Oh? Yeah, I do
follow identified tracks? Okay? Gulty two six shash, Yeah, you do.
You find it. It's not as big as the other one, but
maybe a small patch you maybe find a deer trail, not a not a
large deal deer trail, a normal size. Uh, and you find maybe
like a ten foot clearing. It's not that much. It looks like there's
an old tree that has fallen down at one point, making this okay.
So he's just practicing his sore techniques and noticing that he's doing push ups and
stuff. He notices that he's getting a little bit stronger and starting to think
about a different weapon at this point. Okay, side track, I leveled
up, so that was before Yeah, all right. So he's like,
yeah, I feel that lout stronger, lopping off that certain scales head it
was, I felt good. I want a bigger weapon, so I think
I could do some real damage with hmm. So he's just doing his endurance
checks and stuff like that. Nothing too strange. You don't want to get
too sweaty enough, and just you know, hey, your morning stretches and
I mean more or less just a different version of what Nikkel was doing.
Sure, Okay, who's the never wait to look around? Yeah, he
just looks around for tracks of something like rabbit tracks or whatever. I don't
know. Yeah, I mean, you found the deer trail to get here?
Deal Okay, well you already found that, whether or not you just
follow that in the morning, just to look around and see if we can
find some more rash later. Gotcha? All right? Uh sounds good.
Who's the next to wake or do multiple people wake up? I recall Alkali
being one of the early risers but not really doing anything but reading in quote
unquote for a while. Yeah, so I would be taking my morning very
slowly, just like putting my hair in a more tightly knit braid and and
kind of just trying to get my shoes on properly and just sitting back and
reading because We're going to have to be going around a lot today, so
I'm trying to get in this relaxation while I still can. Yeah, who
would wake up next? While Alkali is relaxing and her bed roll, I
will also wake up and uh kind of like still half asleep, but I'm
gonna go towards the meat and you know, grab some and just eat.
We'll be waking up some of the smoked meats. Yes, yeah, the
fire is probably mostly died down. It's it's also possible that nikel had actually
put more fuel on it to get more smoke going. But in general.
Yeah, it's it's smoked meats at this point. Nice. Uh yeah,
yeah, it's it's a little a little gamy, admittedly from the large deer,
but still good. I've had worse, you know, I've had worse.
This is delicious to me. I'll probably I'll probably stroll in. At
this point, I have my shirt off sort of over my shoulder. My
hair's tied back, and I don't have my armor on. My clothes are
just kind of like slung over my shoulder. As I walk in. So
as I'm eating the meat and I kind of catch a glimpse of Nikkel coming,
I'm just gonna turn I'm so half a sleeping Nikoel. The meat is
so I'm just gonna turn around. I'm plustered again. The meat is what.
It's good. It's good. It's very good. Good. Put some
more, thank you, I put some more firewood. Put some more clothes
on you. My clothes are drying. Okay, I forgot how sheltered she
was. I come back to the camp. Do anybody has anything like my
clothes? I still damp. You can put them in mist of the fire.
That's what I was gonna I'm gonna walk right over by K. All
right, yeah, I walk over to cloth. This guy couldn't put it
on. It was like, moss, I don't know, yeah, look
at me. Yes, you're looking at me. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Hi. Just keep looking at me, okay, and then putting my
clothes. I'm like right next to MK. I'm just putting my clothes down
near the fire, spreading the mound. I'm on the other side. How
are you. That's a good place to you know. I I don't know
why I didn't think of that. Mkay. What's embarrassing you? You shouldn't
take that long track. What do you mean? I'm not nothing? What
I keep looking at me? I am okay? Meat and he kind of
like reaches over. I am so happy that you have prepared nick. Have
you eat it? No, that's a good idea. Let me get some
to go around plenty. Could you bring me some? Yes, actually,
just be careful not to get any of the grease yourself bring you. I
don't are they wheeling each other? Now? What are they doing? No?
Why are they doing? They're just eating? Well after it gets on
my stomach, Okay, here you go. How can I m K?
Do you need any meat? Do you have enough or enough enough. God,
you guys cleaned up very well, by the way. Well, we
don't want to be the ones that you guys complain about catching wind as you
are behind us or beside us. Don't you agree? Kay? Yes,
definitely absolutely, yes, yes, yes, clothes, yes, culture good.
You can catch a cold. If your work it is fine, is
actually nice. You'll probably be drying a few minutes. Yes, I was
slat. Wait what what un saving? And uh? Some time passes.
That's a that's fair to say that time passes as people are eating, drying
clothes, resting, waking up, all that fun, being embarrassed, you
know, the time passes. Uh, just get me out of here,
road. Try Remember no one was nude, by the way, I'm just
clarifying this. Some some ABSI muscles, well chiseled adventurers, natural arrows to
see if it kills me. I mean anyway, all right, I'm putting
on my clothes and I think it's right. Time has passed. Things are
dried, the meat is good, The leather is going to take about another
day. What is the plan for everyone? M Oh, we mean little
before noon? Now is it flower time? I think we're going to be
going past the flower today. What No, we agreed we were going to
go see the flower and Pop you already said that you looked at it.
We looked at it, and we actually haven't exploring more instead of exploring more
of what the flower or the area the area, because we're not going to
get any answers just sitting there looking at this flower repeatedly. I've already signed
right, all right, well before we go, MK, I have a
request. Oh. I think I have grown pass my sword. I feel
a lot stronger I've been. I've been every morning training very hard, and
I believe I am ready for something a lot bigger. Oh yes, and
I would like for you to fashion me a two handed I don't know,
clay more have some sort of a blade that I can do some real damage
when we find the shots manassa right, yeah, mm hmm. Shots charts?
What about them? And metal that we have? M hm we need
them. We need charts. I need something bigger, We need something big.
You can't just come to me every single time you need shorts. What
do I look like? Is not the only person who has shorts? You
look like you have an abundance of shots exactly. I don't have an abundance
of shots. They have more than that. Also, we shouldn't be using
all of them. Mind you, I don't ask you know, well,
what do you mean? You don't ask for me? You already owe me?
What did I owe you? Here's your canist. I'm not talking about
the canister. You still need to pay me for what services. Remember the
conversation about not bickering. Oh, I just want to know we're not We're
not. No, we're not bickering this business. So then you all are
packed up and ready to go? Right? Yes, I mean I can
do two things at once. I just want to know what I owe to
say yes to say yes for now, let's go. You do not love
yourself into a contract with a woman like this. I end up knowing my
life by the end of the day. Okay, can we go? I'm
ready? Okay, fine? Goodness, goodness is right? Hi, I'm
ready. I have everything? So what is going to happen to all the
stuff? Here? Are we leaving everything behind? The smoke should scare away
any animals nearby? If we have the uh, there's people a machine here
as well? If there are other people, well, then should we set
a trap? Before we leave, did you make any wood traps of any
kind? Well, I have two shot traps and I have two fire traps,
two extreme. Do we want to kill them? Do we want to
find down this number crap? Not necessarily kill them? Probably modelized? How
much of a shock do you think they will get if it puts out a
machine? Yeah? So no, we do not want to kill anybody.
Okay, but maybe we can fashion a different type of trap, yes,
something like maybe sounds that we have here is just stuff that we found.
If I take, just eat, just take your valuables, the meat,
the meat, Yeah, yeah, the meat isn't done yet. What if
they seal the meat? If they eat the meat, they will probably be
here huking until we get back. So let's just go. We won't be
there all day, hopefully, and then we'll come back and the meat will
be there. Hopefully it'd be smoked. If the meat is not there when
we come back, I'm blaming you. That's right. I've found some deer
tracks in near here. Anyway, Oh did you yes? So he kind
of gets this bag and it starts to walk down this way. Yeah,
all right, we'll meet you guys up here. Then I just walked like
ten twenty feet away. Yep, I justus. It was yeah, I'd
be walking away to Manassa. How are you feeling? Can you walk?
I mean I could do with a hand up, but I ask she's saying
that. I'm not even waiting. I'm just picking her up and okay,
okay, okay going, oh you go, okay, yep, okay,
all right and we see omkay, Princess Carrie Nasa. We have a striterer.
Yes, we should use that. You won't be we're saying that we
I just need to hand up. It's okay, I need the exercise anyway.
Well, guys, okay, if someone wants a strider, go ahead.
I want the strider. You you know fun you know that? Okay,
fine, fine, fine, I can, I will, I will,
I will. What if something surprises us? MK? And you you
need to free yourself okay, I said fine. I said fine, I'm
gonna take her, put her on the strider, just claw her. Okay,
okay, all right, happy now, good, okay, good?
Shall we let's come. So where are you headed? I know you're in
that little clearing that anxiety went to. But what directions are you going?
What? What is your general plan and sort of just exploring, which can
totally be its own thing too. Just kind of want a direction. Maybe
we should try and find where this plateau ends and get an idea of how
far away that is. So I'd say probably going in the direction of the
flower, but pasted it right, I think that we just head straight until
we get to the other side, and then we can find the edge and
maybe loop back around. All right, I just follow same, okay,
so passing by the flower, and it'd be roughly I think what you did
before is you were kind of heading toward more or less the center this at
least width wise. When you approached it kind of looked about the center.
So it'd take another ten to fifteen minutes of going northwest around that direction before
you hit the edge of the mesa. This plateau. It feels a lot
bigger when you're in the woods and cannot see out of them, But if
your goal is just to find the edge, you can do that pretty easily,
and you'd hit that edge of the forest as it begins to thin out
a bit and you see the desert stretching out ahead of you. Is anyone
in particularly trying to look for landmarks. Yeah, definitely, I think,
yeah, the same like off to the side opposite of Nikael, just kind
of like I think we both are kind of like very observe enough our surroundings
and stuff and kind of sticking to that method for sure. I'd definitely be
scanning like the entire way, trying to see if I could pick up any
signals or anything other than like the flower we saw. Okay, uh so
I'll have either Nikel or Anxiety do that. One of you can decide,
go for it. We all said go for each other. So yeah,
okay, yeah. Difficulty for perception. As you're out looking over the desert.
A little bit of wind today as you can all hear, uh,
maybe some of the sand is stirring up below you. Again, it's about
it. You're about a hundred feet up. Do I get an asset since
he's looking to if he is actively helping you, yes, If he is
not, no, I'll let him decide. If you would be like trying
to scan point that I assume I would be. Okay, yeah, if
you're going to do then then absolutely you could get an asset from helping.
Oops. Four difficulty four oh cramp, let me start over, and then
you've been scanning for anything in particular outside of the flower alkalis. So you
can also give me a difficulty for perception, but with your focus, okay,
and I'll use a point of effort as well. See nothing, nothing
stands out baby n eighteen. Anxiety, his effort, his asset, and
him being trained. What do I take that out of, by the way,
because intellect okay, yep, the pool that it lines up with your
skill. Yeah, so anxiety. You actually do pick up a couple of
things as you're kind of squinting, maybe Nikel's like, I think, I
think that's dune over there, at least points towards a dune off in the
distance there is it looks like an old one town or city. It's not
as big as false city. You see what looked like a few buildings off
in the distance. Look a little small from how far away they are,
but you do see something. Look look there right there, Yes, yes,
I can see them. Do you see the sand being kicked up over
there? Yes? Yes, I was hoping it wasn't another sand scale or
something of that nature of that that thing that wet sun. I think those
are buildings, So I just kind of look closer. Oh, yes,
yes, yes, I okay, we should tell you others. Is there
another way we can come down, maybe on this side of the plateau?
Oh, let me check. So I'm just gonna go out a little bit
further and uh, kind of get close to the ground and save the ground
of footing everything around it and make sure it's safe. Okay, I mean
yeah, it's you're you feel pretty safe, pretty solid right here. It's
a pretty to climbed. I mean, if you weren't going to climb down
on this way, yeah, it's almost sheer. The switch back was like
the best way to get up and down. Definitely not here unless we want
to try our luck. And lately I said, let's not well if we
if we follow the edge back around, maybe we might get lucky and there's
another way down. Mm hmm. Absolutely, I'm with you. If you'd
like to search for tracks or trails, that would be what you'd want to
do with this case, if that'll help land Nick, Okay, Difficulty five
the brothers very nice. Yeah, you do find a similar switchback after kind
of moving a little bit more to the north. It was almost hidden,
but you find one. There's a there is a way down on this side
as well. I think I found one over here. You can see it
there. It's it's smaller than the one that we came up, but I
think it will work fine. Yes, yes, I have my back just
in case we need to extra help getting now. Okay, we should still
keep on the on the lookout though for anything else, if there's any more
of these that might help us. But I think we should get as many
herbs and things as we can while we're here. I can make more potions.
Yes, I can help you. Look ill, I'll definitely keep an
eye out and I'll just we'll head back to the to the rest of the
group and just kind of relay the info. Absolutely, So, yeah,
they come back after maybe five minutes or so, as you three were kind
of just looking over the mesa and the desert. So if we continue and
loop back around to where the where our camp was, we can keep an
eye out for any other ways down. But I did find this one that
that we can use to head down on this side. That way we don't
have to go all the way around. That works? Nice? Is that?
It? No? Sorer? Oh? Yes, I'm sorry, I'm
so. He just was like looking in the direction, just like, oh
my gosh, we found possible area. No, maybe off the old ones
are so such, maybe some ruins some such wait wait wait wait where He
kindly looks at Alkali and winks because he knows she's like adventurous and she likes
stuff like that. Yeah, you would have seen Alkali's eyebrows kind of go
up when he said that. Yeah, ok, he if you want to
come, you can. We see the distance, but do not go down
on this side. Nikaoirle has found us safe away. Let's come with all
right, you have to squint really hard, but just out there. Maybe
your device can pick cut up a better but no, I can see it.
I can see it. M hmm. Yeah, I mean maybe that'll
be the the next destination we could. We should still check the other sides
of this place, though, But I mean, I here you go?
Didn't you want to rest? No? What wis your sense of adventure?
The kind of nuts are it's it's it's right there, Let's go there,
staying in one place for a couple of days. Yeah, yeah, right,
you're right, alright, alright, you're right, and I have to
finish your good so you agree, perfect and he kind of turns her off
and just walks back home merrily. I'd still kind of be staring out.
We can check more this way. Sometimes I don't understand that. Man,
I'm sure if I'm chuckling like in the background, and normally I can understand
almost anyone. Uh yeah, enigma indeed, indeed like the definition of enigma.
Yes, yes, you're right, I'm going to go without you.
I would follow him. Okay, who are you? Are all of you
following anxiety as he almost seems to I don't know, skip like. It
almost seems he seems robilant, frolicking. It's maybe a good description of anxiety
right now. He's just gonna stomp it happily like, and then I guess
alcoholic catch up. He'd be like, she agreed, and I won that
battle. We get to stay a little bit longer. That's what that was
about. Mm hmm. But do tell him because you won't live it down.
All right, Let's go see if we can find some stuff. Yeah,
okay, so you kind of hit the northern edge of this plateau.
It's not like a perfect circle or anything, but it's definitely more circular of
a mesa than it is like a square or any other shape. But yeah,
if you're at the north edge you want to look out, you can
go ahead and make a difficulty for perception. Again, whoever chooses to do
that, I'll probably just be helping. Okay, I guess you want to
do it. I can, I can do it. I guess I thought
alcohol I wanted to do it. Okay, Okay, it's some trained perception,
right, yes, sir, difficulty for difft four different ascent. Oh
my god, that was some fun. Yeah, all right, success.
Yeah, you see, I might actually see what looks like an old river
bed, not as far away as the town, but leading toward the direction
of the town. I think I found some day, Come, what is
it there? Running one of the bed? Maybe had wondering what at some
point, which means that there will may have been some sort of life there.
I don't know how long. Maybe we can go to it and check
the soil to see if it's wet or dryer, muddy or well. It's
a good place to look at least after we're done here. Mm hmm.
Does it lead back to the the other buildings we saw? Is it the
same area? Look look over there could be connected they are, Yeah,
I would think, so are you marking on the map? I think Manassa
has it. We'll let her know. Yeah, I've got a pretty good
memory. I'll keep it up here. All right, good, I think
we have a lot to go off of, at least two entries. Interesting.
Tomorrow we check out those ruins. Yes, today, we'll gather more
supplies and then we'll be off. Yep. But I want to finish her
special design and then I'll be ready to leave. The leather should be ready
tomorrow. I think maybe, like we were talking about, if you decided
to get those shark designs, absolutely, and that's where we'll end the episode
as they walk back to camp to reconvene and get supplies taken care of.
So let's do those lovely little shout outs and end of session goodnesses and all
that fun. Only two major failures today for the Red only there were three.
I was two of them. But okay, see he was trying to
okay, you know what, Okay, three failures. Okay, but thank
you everybody for being here. Viewers. We're not done, because we do
end the session stuff. If you happen to be here the moment they get
to do some extra things at the end was shout them out and we'll call
it a good day. But let's start with at Hello. My name is
I'm Kat, and I played Manassa, your favorite Luke Goblin who's currently uh
incapacitated because she took an error to the knee or thighever you wanna say it.
Anyways, I stream on Twitch under I'm Cat. You can follow me
on Twitter. I'm Cat Cat. I'm a freelance illustrator. I do the
drawing stuff and I do the gaming stuff. So yeah, I'll see you
guys next session. Yeah, anything in particular you're doing fr end of session,
you do that later. I would like to take an XP, and
then I also want to give an XP to MK. We're dealing with my
really horrible jokes. That seems only fair. I didn't mean to. I
didn't mean to do that. Recovery that was miss you already rested, Make
sure already arrested. Make sure it didn't tick you up. Sometimes at will
Lotto ticket up a level for recoveries, just so you don't care. I
got it. It's okay, cool, perfect, bye, bye, go
rest go, rest up. And now fay Hi, I'm feelin. I
am a voice actor and a Twitch streamer and you can find me on twitch
dot tv slash fail in doing the Vijie game stuff all the time because it's
what I do for my end of session. Uh. I also played Alkali,
by the way, I forgot that part, But who are you?
For my underw session? I am gonna go ahead and take an experience point
and I'm gonna go ahead and give one to Nikel because he was super useful
and like with all the meat and everything, he's super just. He did
he did like nine million things for us, so that goes to Nickel.
Thank you. Okay, now, no, bloody hello, Hi, I
am bloody faster. I was trying to try to meet myself and I played
yeah, yeah, if you see me fumbling, that's what I'm doing.
I played MK for you today and MK is now fed and happy for the
time being. I will take one XP for myself and that will give one
XP to Alkali first of all, because she really needs it because you know,
she has the worst luck that I've ever seen, and e'sy target and
also because of her focus. Now we know at least some information about the
flower, so that's really useful. So there you go. You're welcome.
Good, thank you, thank you very much. Hello. I'm technique play
Anxiety, and I am a studymur on the things called twitch and I do
about six days a week. Can we do everything RPG, you name it.
Lots of voices, a lot of fun, all the voice acting.
Come by and check it out. A lot of comedy and entertainment. Also
inter session man. I wanted. I wanted to kind of be a little
opie and like study the flower. But the specifics is gaining asset the next
the next fight of the same machine, so that's not really gonna work.
I don't think craft something we have to wait a day, so that's not
gonna work. So I guess I'll just take an experience and give an experience
to a life almost taking my foot off. You can totally do that.
You can craft something you don't have to wait today. That's why, that's
why. Yeah, okay, then I'll give to craft something. I'll give
an experienced Alcolai and take uh. Is that hogworks? Yeah, it's either
you take one or you do. I'll give one her and then I'll craft
the bag thingy for or the pant legs like pants, is it a bag?
Now he's just gonna give her some sackcloth to hop around in the pants
and uh, hopefully do the little shard Charlene or chartlean Lord wrong, wrong,
show show the shard designs and it got it. Yeah, you can
attempt to craft that. Do you have a crafting skill or is it just
going to be a I think I I don't know if you do. Actually
I think I have this direct crafting. I think I have some other stuff.
But for regardless, it's going to be a dificulty to check. It's
just if you succeed really well, it'll be better. But you're you're not
trying to make something that's actual armor. So just something yeah, just really
like pretty I guess something that situate her merchant neess. So you're trying to
like weave maybe on your walk back you're trying you're grabbing is like the softest
fibers like from plants. You can while you're you're doing that, So go
ahead. Difficulty to int unless you're at a crafting skill. Yeh, all
right, all right, oh boy, difficulty too. I'm gonna put an
effort just because I want to be purtiful. Please not a one. I
shouldn't drinx myself. That happened. That was bad. Thank goodness. There
you go. We've got a six. You only needed a three to succeed.
So you still make them. You know, their pants there, it's
kind of woven fiber. They're not exactly especially fancy, but they are They
are definitely functional. Maybe did you weave in some shards? Was that kind
of the idea? Yeah, it's like they kind of jingle a little bit
when worn, kind of match her bag that she wears her pack. But
yeah, yeah, and you get an experience for that, and so that
leather that we're waiting for the next day, I'll have to roll tomorrow for
that. Yeah, if you're going to be crafting with it or doing anything.
Yeah, yeah, because I want to make a leg back mm hmm
yep. Yeah, there you go. All right, thank you and whack
hi everybody. I'm why Stephen and I played nikel for you today. Uh.
Sometimes I do things on my channel. I started playing No Man Sky
again because I fucking love that game, and uh, I just wanted to
play it. And I've broken my addiction to Animal crossing. You threw your
tom nook. I have control over my own brain. Okay, you don't
listen, all right, you're not my dad. Yeah, I yeah.
I started playing No Man's Sky and traded one addiction for another, and I,
uh yeah, it's fun. It's I love that game. And I
also run a bunch of stuff here on this channel, so make sure you're
following Table Story here Twitched on TV slash Table Story, and I do a
show tomorrow called Witchcraft and Wizardry, which is a Harry Potter homebrew system that
I made, and we're having we're getting close to the end of the story
for the second year's and you should definitely tune into that. And on Fridays,
I do a thing called Rhyme of the Frost Maiden, which is d
N D five E. It's the Rhyme of the Frost Mating Module with another
really great group of people. Technique is in that as well, and it's
uh, it's super good. Everyone's ultra hyped about that all the time,
so make sure you tune in for that because we had a mega, mega
cliffhanger last week and I'm so curious to see how they're gonna deal with it
for end a session. I don't know if this counts as must have the
materials or not, Dan, But if I can, I will look for
herbs and make potions from them. I don't know if those are two separate
things or one. Yeah, I think that would be too separate in this
case, just because but all what I what you can do is I'll let
you search while you're walking back, so you can at least find the materials.
Yeah, so I give an XP to m K because she watched my
meat that she did very closely. All right, so respectfully look forward in
the morning and ate it, but always always respectfully. But yeah, you
can go ahead and give me like a gathering gathering check to look for these
herbs or a different skill herbalism that would fit absolutely. I'm not going to
say the skills that you should do all the time, but you know them.
You know your skills. So yeah, you can give an erbalism check
difficulty too as you're walking back, maybe if you lag behind sort of thing.
Yeah, yeah, you find enough herbs for another couple of potions.
Okay, great, wonderful, and I'm domestic, Dan. I was the
gem of consequences Today there are only a few fishing related consequences, but other
than that, Yeah, you can find me here doing this on Mondays,
you can find me doing lifestyle streaming all that sort of fun, losing my
mind, playing bug snacks, you know, just just normal like drug trip
inducing games apparently at the moment. But other than that, like, thank
you for watching, We appreciate you all. Check us out. Outside of
this, check out all the other table story shows, all the wonderful,
wonderful goodness that is here. I love this channel, I love being a
