Speaker 1: Do we have time? Are we feeling an after show?
Or is it getting to yes? I'm sorry, let's do it.
Speaker 2: Well, we remember because I won't to do an after show.
Speaker 1: I do remember more when we do the after show,
I think, okay, and welcome back ladies and gentlemen, boys
and girl. No, no, I'm not gonna say ladies and gentlemen,
welcome back beautiful humans and assorted quadrupeds too. What we
call it Day's end? The next archive after show, I
am CD core again, your game Master, joined as always
by Farah.
Speaker 3: Played by Maddie Hello, and.
Speaker 1: Our lovely goblin Skink.
Speaker 2: Played by Marisa what's up?
Speaker 1: And of course Pip it's time for No, I'm kidding,
I'm Pip. We just met and had a whole episode
dealing with the enigmatic Lady Sive. How are we feeling?
Speaker 3: I like that. I don't know how irritating it's been
for you. But Farah has not been trusting of ladies Sive.
Speaker 1: For one thing.
Speaker 3: I think to be fair and imercently. You can tell
me if you feel this way too. But like Chester died,
so and Farah as a character is much more about
like an adventure based in inquiry and like fun or
light lighter stuff, and so she's she knows that they're
kind of barreling towards this encounter and that there's probably
a connection here. I think we've picked up on that
that's been alluded to, but she has not wanted to
commit to it. So she's been very weary.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I will say that she seemed like someone to
be wary of from the very beginning. Anyone who just
like posts up and has people come meet them in
a yeah, in a in an inn.
Speaker 2: You know, in a bar, in a in a dive.
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, I don't know what kind of money
is being laundered here.
Speaker 1: I don't know what, you know.
Speaker 4: I don't want to be bought as like, you know,
someone who's just going to get sent out to die.
Speaker 2: You know, mercenary work is always pretty sketch.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: We we have an alliance to each other and that's
the one that matters the most. And when Chester died
and we found out that it was I immediately assumed
it was her fault. I was like, Jester died, it
was her fault because he was looking for something that
she paid him to look for. And it was like, ooh, yankes.
That sounds like bad news for us. Maybe we shouldn't
talk to her, Maybe we shouldn't go after something she
wants because I don't want to die. And then the
whole and then the whole building blowing up. I was like,
oh my god, that's her fault again. Everything is her fault.
Speaker 2: It wasn't except that it wasn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's listened. When you're in evolved in certain machinations
of the powers that be, sometimes you wind up adjacent
to a lot of stuff like that's. Uh, the circle
is only so big. I will say, I think I
know where you're going. We'll get to that on a second.
Speaker 3: Can I guess what she is?
Speaker 1: Go for?
Speaker 3: It is she valkyrie?
Speaker 1: No, but god, that would have been so cool.
Speaker 3: That's what I thought she was.
Speaker 1: Come on, man, we got to add.
Speaker 3: Come on, we should add Valchyse. Yeah, you should read Relict. Oh,
I mean, I'm sorry, stupid, Yeah, just kidding. You're gonna
have to go in and edit. She meant tattered Ponds.
That's what I was restarting to.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I know what book we're talking about.
Speaker 3: I don't clear.
Speaker 1: Tattered ponds right here. Now, there's no camera in the
the after show. I forgot. Tattered Ponds is the book
I wrote. People go by it. It's on everything.
Speaker 3: It's got valkyries and goddess Nicks and it's a good time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is.
Speaker 2: If you're into that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: Yes, yep. Maddie has been pushing me to do a
special edition Kickstarter or backer kit campaign to like launch
it with like an autograph and a fancy cover and
a short story and stuff, So that might be a
thing we talk about here soon.
Speaker 3: I won't lie my part of Like, there's multiple layers
to why I want him to do this, but if
it gets the short story finished, that's my mangal at
this point, because I want more. I want more dited bonds.
Did I marry him so that I could get prior
access his writing? Maybe?
Speaker 2: Hilarious?
Speaker 1: She doesn't realize is that means if I drag my
feet forever, she can't leave.
Speaker 2: Me to funny cute?
Speaker 4: All right, So she's not a she's not a vouchery.
Speaker 1: That is not what I thought you were gonna guess.
Speaker 4: But she is way more than a regular elf, way
more than a regular elf.
Speaker 3: Can tell me.
Speaker 1: She's something.
Speaker 3: Are you gonna tell me hmm, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I personally love living in suspense.
Speaker 1: I will tell you out of character that you two
know who her sister is. We don't have to reveal
it for the sake of the show. I think we
let the listeners stay and suspense a little longer. Sorry, guys,
gotta keep it coming back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't figure it out right now.
Speaker 1: You guys are rolling hot. This episode. There were a
couple of times where I was like, man, if they
asked the right question right now, I'm gonna have to
like give them the big hints because I think if
I say it, you're gonna know, you're gonna know what's
up immediately. But that'll be fun. But that's not what happened,
and that's not what happened. We instead learned a little
bit about the shatter flow steps. Is that what I said,
shadterflow tundra.
Speaker 3: Shatter flow tundra, shatterflow Tandra.
Speaker 1: I almost said shatterflow plateau and I was like, Nope,
that's too much, too much rhyming. Can't do that, shatterflow Tundra.
I realized as I was building my world in my
Lovely World book that I have here also available on
Amazon Hill Chill, She'll show Shill. I realized as I
was building out the world, we created this whole region
for the Knicks archive, that is, you know, concurrent with
Rubica and all the other adventures we're putting out on Kickstarter,
and like we're working on Scott and I are working
on building up like a whole campaign setting that goes
encompasses this whole world. Never actually named the Frozen North
region here, like the main continent is Concord's Reach, and
there's some other stuff and other places that we've got
figured out. This was just like the cold place.
Speaker 4: And then I realized, I realized today naming it as
you go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I realized today. I was like, hmm, it's probably
a thing that people who live there would know what
it's called. That's fun.
Speaker 3: I think I just figured, Wait, I'm stuck on her sister.
Now we've come across as different characters. We've come across
our sister, haven't we.
Speaker 1: Know? Actually, you the people Maddie and Marissa know who
her sister is. But your previous characters I don't think
interacted with them in one of our other games.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, we can talk about other stuff. We
had a big we had a big pit betrayal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, happy about that.
Speaker 1: He held out until they were shinies.
Speaker 3: That is such an easy thing for people to do,
though now is deeply concerned. The people are just gonna.
Speaker 1: So, I think, and we can like role play this
next time. But I think I will point out it's
actually not that easy for people to do because Pip
only talks to you guys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she did mention it, and she.
Speaker 2: Was talking to him.
Speaker 4: I was like, wait, how does he understand they understand
each other? I did notice that, and I was.
Speaker 3: Like, ilugged it too. I do think we should role
play that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll role play it because the thing that your
characters may or may not have noticed is he never
actually spoke mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Upsetting, deeply upsetting.
Speaker 1: She did find out about you by talking to bees
and octopies.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, she's she has a there's a
there's a pattern.
Speaker 1: Has a lot going on. Yeah, what did you make?
What do we think about Brunskull and Arelia and Jat
just dipping.
Speaker 3: Rude the prisoner No less, I don't know if Farah
actually really cared all them as she was happy it
was just over. But Maddy feels like it's super rude.
Speaker 1: I will point out even worse the way they dipped out.
They never paid you.
Speaker 2: Oh I noticed that.
Speaker 3: We'll play us remembering that because we did not at
this time.
Speaker 2: No, we found we found him, we brought him back.
Speaker 4: They know they never give us anything, and they took
away my crush. So in Skinks book, they're all officially
in the red. Everyone there is on the ship list.
Speaker 1: Here's the good news. You know, sometimes you can you
can sort of see the outlines of Plat armor right,
Which is not to say I won't kill all of them,
because that's not what I'm talking about. But what I
am saying is that Jat is played by my brother
and A really is Skink's heart throb. So the chances
of us running into them again are pretty high. And
some of these motherfuckers I get three platinum. That's all
I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, I have to write a note all caps.
Speaker 2: I know for sure that Skink will forget a debt. Which,
speaking of that guy that owes me money, yeah fuck him.
Speaker 1: Speaking of rewards, we got our first cool little magical
item this episode.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 4: Actually I've been meaning to can you give me the
details on that skeleton bottle, skeleton bottle or skeleton jar.
Speaker 1: If your fancy doesn't matter, I will add this to
the relic website as a magic item. But for now, mechanically,
what it does is it lets you store one large
or smaller skeleton that can be UH produced or stowed
with an action.
Speaker 5: I love it cold one all skeleton and only the
bones are not bones, not an entire creature.
Speaker 1: Yes, and there's only one creature. You can't stuff it
with like thirty squirrels or anything.
Speaker 4: It's I know, thirty squirrels in a jar. Can you
imagine a skeleton dream?
Speaker 3: Oh, that might be like just to like underlying. Now
that Farah has discovered this, her underlying goal might be
creating a vessel that can hold something ridiculous like that
for skak.
Speaker 1: So Lady Sive did offer us. So I'll point this
out for you guys and for the listeners. Like, mechanically speaking,
you're an enchanter. UH relic involves extended periods of downtime.
Whenever you take a full rest. During a full rest,
you lose all of your fate points. They go away, sadness,
but you also start recuperating and recovering from afflictions, which
Farah is walking around with one right now. Sure, yeah,
at a pace of like one affliction a week potentially
or less. Like it's pretty slow. There's other ways to
get rid of afflictions. But if you just want to
sit there and heal a broken bone, it takes a while.
Lady sim offered, if you're staying in OSK during an
extended period of downtime to teach you how to craft
a skeleton jar or skeleton bottle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I fully believe, like Farah is almost dead set
on that. I wasn't sure on our timing, so I
didn't like commit to it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's that's.
Speaker 4: Like the sort of thing that we could say, like, oh,
at the end of our campaign, this is like what
we'll do when we're.
Speaker 2: Not in dick current danger.
Speaker 3: Also, could it take us a month to get ready?
Speaker 1: Well, so that is you know potentially, like there are
going to be periods and I'll just tell you this,
like there are going to be periods in this campaign
where we time jump a little bit in terms of
like you've just done a whole thing, You've got to
stay in town for x amount of time. Where not
nothing like major is happening. We might roleplay some scenes
if like I went to this and I talked to
Gallio or I did whatever. But you know, if time
is passing, this is a viable option for Sarah to
do as downtime activity. I love it. That doesn't doesn't
mean it's free to make. It still takes a while
to craft each individual one and it's going to take
resources and materials and stuff that will cross those bridges there.
But you could potentially learn this skill as an enchanter
for sure.
Speaker 3: Excellent. I think Sarah is very driven by like like
I said earlier, like enquiry, Yeah, learning new things, finding knowledge,
so that intrigues her more than Lady Sive's quest to
some extent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so interesting. I did appreciate you guys asking the
question of like, why don't you go do it? Because
that is a valid question for an enormous number of
quest givers in a lot of games, especially.
Speaker 3: How powerful she is. And I will say, Parah does
not believe that her sister coming is like a viable Yeah, there's.
Speaker 4: A bullshit that's like, that's like the elf equivalent of
oh I need to wash my hair that day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, this is a quest for models. So I
will say the the things that she was getting at,
and the conversation kind of stopped at a natural point,
so we didn't go into it further. What she was
getting at is one her sister is coming by. There's
a thing there to what she was pointing out with
the board that we can get into more in the
next episode as needed. What she was talking about was like,
I task a shitload of people to go do stuff
for me. Yeah. Well, she's like, she can do any
one of these myself, but it takes time. Yeah, and
a lot of these aren't fruitful. So she's basically she's like, listen,
if I go out there and spend a month trudging
up to the thing and go down the thing and
the fucking scroll's not there, the loss that I have
suffered in terms of things I could have been doing
instead is well worth me paying you to go do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I was also excited to learn about going to a
place of power because while I was reviewing my powers
today before we got in here, I noticed that my
control radius of the undead doubles while I'm in a
place of power.
Speaker 2: WHOA, what's that about?
Speaker 3: Yes, so there may be a lot of dead people
at this.
Speaker 4: Place, right, like considering how many people have died there already.
Speaker 2: But there's a there's a whole army that disappeared.
Speaker 1: At least up an army. No, I mean, come on,
So other things we didn't get we didn't get into.
I'm gonna slim down the level up conversation a little
bit just to keep it kind of punchy for the show.
I just wanted to show us leveling up a little bit.
Speaker 3: I was too indecisive, Sorry, viewers.
Speaker 1: That's fine, listeners, No, it's it's totally fine. We just
don't want to listen to people doing paperwork. That's you know,
a lot of a lot of paperwork in RPGs. But
other things we didn't touch on as much. Farah, you
got another enchantment slot. I believe it's in your your
top paragraph there. It explains. I think it's like every
two levels you get another one or something.
Speaker 4: And I think I got another enthrallment slot, like I
can I can make two zombies now instead of just one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's one plus half my character.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so every two levels you're going to get another
one and then more enthrallment slots for Skink and your
radius is going to start increasing as well.
Speaker 4: It was exciting to choose whisper as my perk and
then need to use it immediately.
Speaker 1: Can't stress enough how much I appreciate you guys taking
utility spells as your perk choices. Hell yeah, like that
is something that I as a player struggle with because
I'm always like, oh, I feel like I should be
doing damage or doing like, you know, violent problem solving.
Uh me, As a GM, I love utility spells because
it always leads to the coolest stuff.
Speaker 3: Like I know that, I'm fairly certain. I know that
queen is is similar to prested Digitation.
Speaker 1: Right, similar?
Speaker 3: Yes, which when we've played that which shall not be name, the.
Speaker 1: One with prested digitation.
Speaker 3: The one that spell has been useful, so yeah, and
it's fun and role play, so I just I couldn't
resist it with me.
Speaker 1: Well, there's also something to be said for like having
spells you can pop off without summoning the town guard,
you know, Like there are times when it's like I
need to do something now, but if I summon a
zombie or turn into a blood tornado, it's going to
be a problem for me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm also imagining that we go into places where
it's like, you know, an old archive that's really come apart,
and if you just do clean, like do all the
books just go back on the shelves or does all
the dust disappear so they now you can read the labels,
I'll tell out like a kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: Like genuinely what you would be able to do is
if you were looking at an old scroll or tome
or something that was heavily degraded, you can't. It doesn't
it's not repairing, like it's not restoring.
Speaker 2: Like lost data.
Speaker 1: But if it's covered in grime and mold, now it's
not genuinely like.
Speaker 2: Can it do room all at once?
Speaker 6: It's one square foot at a time, one square foot
I have to I'd have to have so much manna
to do that, or a lot of time a lot
of time cleaning.
Speaker 1: So like for example, if you were doing a book,
like a whole tone, you'd probably do it like one
or two pages at a time, so like you wouldn't
just be like whole books clean. It's like no, that's
a lot of surface area. You go boom, okay, fair
and like way through.
Speaker 3: I didn't even think about it until now. But also
for somebody who deals in blood and has probably blood
stains all the time and then freaks people out, I
can clean the blood stains up.
Speaker 1: I was kind of thinking that, like it's like, oh, yeah,
that makes sense that tracks. You've get a necromancer in
a blood page like obviously and the blood frankly shocking.
You didn't have this right.
Speaker 2: You got to cover the tracks, cover the tracks. Were
we here? I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I have no evidence that I was here on my body.
Speaker 1: Like I'm spotless officer, never mind the room.
Speaker 3: Did you like my speaking of lying? Did you like
my fairy lie when she asked if I had a
flake and I was like, no, but I've touched it
because I don't tell me.
Speaker 2: I appreciated that so much. Yeah, we've seen one. Yeah,
we saw it. We've seen one.
Speaker 1: That was genuinely one of those moments where I was like,
I mean, listen, here's the secret way to do persuasion
and lying checks and that kind of thing. If you
slip it past the GM, you don't have to roll ship.
Like that was genuinely a moment where like it was
so in the flow of conversation. I and as a consequence,
Sive did not occur to like make a roll.
Speaker 3: Of best Yes.
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, oh, that's genuine that.
That's the rule I've used in the past two is like,
when someone's trying to make like a very persuasive argument
or something, if in character you managed to persuade me
the GM that your way of I'm like, yeah, I'm
not going to make your roll for that, Like, no,
your thing makes sense, Like that's no unless this person
has a reason to be obstinate about it. It's like, no,
you've made a good argument. That's fine, but I love it. Yeah,
some lovely anything else we want to touch on, We've
we've really just dove in on the day's end here,
which I love prompts roses thorns intrigue for for the future.
I think the intrigue for everybody is uh, who and
what is sive? Right?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, oh yeah, built in mm hmmm.
Speaker 1: I will say I wasn't sure if it was going
to come up, but it made sense in the moment,
and I went for it. I enjoyed poking at Sive
and rolland's a relationship you did you did.
Speaker 3: Drop some hints there. I'm like, wouldn't she cares a
lot about land? Yeah? She likes herself on org there's
definitely Now if you include that clip, gonna be some
weird fan fiction and that's okay.
Speaker 1: We let's listen engagements. Engagement if you want to draw
the four of my characters, as long as you support.
Speaker 3: Write a smutty fan fiction.
Speaker 2: Okay, there on AO three yet.
Speaker 3: A three?
Speaker 2: Oh oh no?
Speaker 1: You know what you read on Kindle Unlimited. Yeah, would
it be fun if that was written mostly by fans
with no rules at all and probably no editors.
Speaker 3: I mean that'd be fun and also a little dangerous.
Speaker 4: Okay for yeah, it stands for an archive of our.
Speaker 3: Own Oh yeah, okay, like what if.
Speaker 2: We took all these characters wrote own story.
Speaker 3: Is this where you find like Harry and Malfoy.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of it is X rated.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, the problem with Twilight was no one
fucking fucks just.
Speaker 3: I have a rose. It's like totally not It's ridiculous.
I am an acatar fan. A Court of thorns and
roses and Lady Sive's house reminds me of the town home.
The Night Court inhabits and I love it.
Speaker 1: Extremely on brand for what she's doing.
Speaker 3: Yes, that was my rose, I will say.
Speaker 1: Piggybacking on that moment that I really enjoyed was she
walks out with these floating tea kettles. I described the
room and immediately it's like, how did you dig a
basement into tundra? That was like her reacting to that
right then was genuinely me being like, I love that.
This is what made you think about Yeah, floating tea
kettle funk off, let's talk about this.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Look, I've seen Beauty and the Beasts. Okay, yeah, like
do you have water issues? Like even is the frost
line here? Like it's just.
Speaker 4: I think today one of my roses was just being
able to trust Farah's deep arcade knowledge of like everything.
Speaker 3: Random. It was like, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2: You know barrens.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just great.
Speaker 2: It's great, it's taken care of. We don't both need
to know things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want it, not like I So this might
be just a thing that people have picked up on
my GM style. A lot of times when I call
for like trivia rolls, I don't always love to just
set a threshold and be like you fail, because then
it's like no, no, no, I would I much prefer
setting like gate and I don't always announce them, but
I'll set like gates where it's like, all right, if
you get a six or higher, i'll tell you this.
If you get an eight or higher, I'll tell you that,
blah blah blah blah blah. And I think sometimes that
might come across as me being like super super easy
on setting targets.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Some of that is it's level one, so I'm not
being like calling for a twenty on everything or now
we're level two. Sure, And some of that is just
me being like, you know, a five is like I
have a little knowledge about a thing, so I'll tell
you a little bit about a thing, But that doesn't
mean that they get the thing where if they had
rolled a twenty five, you know. Uh. And having said that,
when we have people like Farah who pop off with
a twenty nine and a thirty, sometimes it's just like,
all right, our skincad one of those where it was
just like you got you got like a twenty nine.
On checking to see if she was telling it like
a binary A or B, well, answer is be but
I don't want to just be like, yeah, that was
worth it, So like I'm gonna just tell you more
about the situation now. So I don't know. I forget
how I started the sentence. But that's that's fun. That's
the thing I do.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we appreciate it. I appreciate it as a player. Yeah, yeah, cool, grateful.
Speaker 3: I do have a thorn. And the viewers would see this. Listeners,
you wouldn't have seen my face, but I had a
super sad face when you mentioned the polar bear rug.
I don't know if they can forgive you.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you're like not taxidermy is a lie, right, well,
kill absolutely everywhere synthetic fur.
Speaker 1: We assume they would make that choice if it was
available to them, but I prefer to you it as
they live in a world where nothing is endangered, so
it's trivial.
Speaker 3: That's why we like playing games, because we can live
in a world that doesn't have endangered animal exactly exactly.
Speaker 1: And it's still cold as ship up there and melting
and relic.
Speaker 2: The polar bears have almost an upper hand. Let's say
they're just as dangerous as anything.
Speaker 1: Little peak behind the screen. There are a number of
creatures around and north of the Bulwark Mountain that are
polar bear adjacent, so it may not have been even
a polar bear. Could have been a bear or a
number of other things.
Speaker 3: I think Maddie cares just as much about the bear.
Speaker 1: Chester's party, by the way, was attacked by a creature
called a horned scruff bear.
Speaker 3: Cruff bear. That's adorable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a horn scruff bear. They're very mean, they
have horns, and they're very scruffy.
Speaker 3: Not a friend. Why friend shaped is he describes a
horned creature? Look, I like the weird animals. Okay, Yeah,
that was the h I think I mentioned in a
previous day's end, Like that was the maybe early combat
pop off in like episode one or two. I was like,
what if they go hunt the bear? I don't know,
Like so I had that in my back pocket and
didn't didn't happen. Okay.
Speaker 1: I also was wondering if you'd get implicated for murder.
But you guys managed to dodge around that, so that
was fine.
Speaker 4: Yes, I know, man, we only talked to the cops once.
We can't we can't make this a habit.
Speaker 1: Well, there was a world where it was like Chester
is dead. We don't know who did it. YouTube have
been sneaking around and like I was like, if you
guys try and rob them and are found with the body,
that's a scenario. Like that's especially if you're doing necromancy
shit to it. I was just like a world in
which they didn't do anything wrong yet, but they look
extremely gilled and that's a path. And it didn't happen,
It didn't come to pass. You made nice with everybody.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we we actively chose not to rob, you know,
like I mean, there was the one little flake and
I didn't even do it.
Speaker 1: It was passed. You know, Karma a reward for good behavior.
Pip gave your flake. Yeah, it's fine.
Speaker 3: I have another thorn. How dare you threaten the life
of Roland? Why a soft spot for a fictional character
the story of my life.
Speaker 1: Let's be honest. I will say peek behind the screen,
and I don't say this to be like there's no
stakes or whatever. I think the chances of Roland so
you definitely saved him a lot of hardship there the chance,
I'll put it this way, Lady sives priorities would have
changed changed really dramatically if he had gotten potentially mortally
wounded there.
Speaker 3: I love this idea that they have a Lott affair.
Speaker 4: It's great, do they or I don't know they have
They have a history, but we don't have a history.
Speaker 2: We don't know the nature of the historys on you.
Speaker 3: I'm going to write the fan fiction, and if you
do that.
Speaker 1: Dear listener, make sure to tag us in it so
we can link to the Patreon. I'll let you write
whatever you want. I just.
Speaker 2: Incredible you do it.
Speaker 1: It's fine, I depending on what you're right. I can't
put it on our website, but like you don't need
my permission absolutely well for the game system away, I'm
not going to get into IP law right now. It's
a whole thing. Any final thoughts here.
Speaker 2: Guys, I'm excited for the next episode. I'm right, so
keep this going.
Speaker 3: I'm sure if a was going to be, I wasn't
sure if Maddie was going to be how she felt
about going after what Lady Sive wants to go after.
But I'm I'm excited now. I'm excited.
Speaker 1: From a GM's perspective, there is something so satisfying about
having a character who has perfectly innocent and good reasons
to be suspicious as hell, and Sive has been that
for me for this run so far, and that's been delightful.
I will say she was also a lesson for me
in Hubris. As our viewers on YouTube would know, this
is an illustrated show. I paint artworks for each episode. Uh,
And the first one I did was Lady Sive sitting
at a table in the long haul conversing with the viewer.
Baddy talked to her in the long haul, and I
was forced to blow it up.
Speaker 2: You didn't save it.
Speaker 1: Oh, I've got the image, it's just for a timeline
that never occurred. So I haven't decided what to do
with that yet.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 1: Initially I was like, I'll just I'll like cut her
out of the background and just put like a different
background on it. Not that anyone would know, but I
would know. It was the long haul, and it bothers
me because I'm an artiste. So I was like, I'll
cut her out, I'll put her on like a different background.
It'll be fine. And then it was like, welcome to
the sitting room. We're going to sit down and have tea.
And then it was like we need to go to
the basement inside.
Speaker 3: I was just like, fuck, you realize you're the GM
you could put us editable.
Speaker 1: Right, No, but they were all very reasonable suggestions.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, it's fine, it's fine.
Speaker 1: Here's what's gonna happen. That picture of Lady Sive is
going to be on the Patreon and I'm not going
to post it anywhere else. So it's a patron and
you'll see the alternate reality of the world that could
have been in the Meanwhile, I will draw a different
picture of her doing another thing that actually happened. And
I learned a lesson about trying to predict where are
my players We'll go. It was episode one, so I
was like, totally, they're going to talk to the Quest character.
They know we're doing a show, right. No.
Speaker 3: I don't know how Marissa and I compare to other players,
but I feel like we are a bit like chaos goblins.
So we're just not We're not. I don't feel like
we're super predictable. Our viewers can comment on this if
they want, but I don't know. You're wrong.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is going to make getting our guests in
here a little tricky. Now, now we'll make it work. Actually,
Jack got in pretty smoothly. I was very happy with that.
Speaker 3: That's true, that worked well.
Speaker 1: Yester and I were just like, I don't know how
it's gonna happen, but you're gonna be stealing food from
that one Burne skull walks out, and sooner or later,
whenever that happens, that's when you're walking in.
Speaker 4: And then yeah, escape may or may not try to
decay your whole hand.
Speaker 2: It was a thought that crossed my mind.
Speaker 1: I did just finish the art for that scene. I
think you guys have seen it Escape putting Jack in
an arm bar for stealing food.
Speaker 3: I do feel like a food theme is emerging for
this crew.
Speaker 1: It's fair listen, I will add, uh listen, here's what
I've gotten my notes right now, more fiendlings for Marissa,
more food for Pharah, and.
Speaker 3: Uh true of Manny as well. Gross stuff.
Speaker 2: Are you gonna wait? I'm having it.
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 4: I was like trying to decide what image you were
going to draw of Sive that actually happened, and I
the first one that came to mind is me and
and Farah looking up at her from below as she
dangles something shiny in front of Pip and us looking
absolutely just like murdering so.
Speaker 3: Shocked. How could.
Speaker 1: Well have to be what I do? Then?
Speaker 2: I mean, you could pick something else. It's fine, it's fine,
that's pretty good. That's the one that came to me.
Is just her like with the shiny thing and.
Speaker 1: Very loyal to mother. Give me that and I will
tell you things. Yea, they.
Speaker 2: Stare up in my socks.
Speaker 1: The socks.
Speaker 3: That was great, and all the little sound effects like
you and Chris both were doing like, it's just great little.
Speaker 1: And you can get the next archive as Mr Video over.
Speaker 3: No, I'm kidding speaking of Nick's archive stuff. Though, I
do want to make the cookbook, so you got to
include more food stuff. We can make stuff up too,
like it doesn't have to be directly, like obviously fried
fish is going to be. I have to I have
to find a good fried fish. I have to make
a good fried fish recipe. But we could also make
up ones that aren't don't appear directly, but are like, uh,
the Long Haul, I don't know, sliders or something like that.
Speaker 2: Sliders, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: Special.
Speaker 3: Midwinter Sun. Uh, that one's fancier, so like Midwinter Sun,
I don't know, steak. I don't know. I don't I
don't need steak. That makes it funnier.
Speaker 2: But remember how we said the fish was fried.
Speaker 4: In lard or like blubber blubber? Is that you can't
you can't fry it in animal fat?
Speaker 2: Can't?
Speaker 1: Like what?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Would we do?
Speaker 3: I don't know. People don't try and bacon fat? What
is it? That's exactly that bacon fast.
Speaker 2: That's what it would be.
Speaker 3: Also, a lot of people are use like tallow from
not a lot of people. I've seen more people using
tallow from deer hunting. Really I say that, but my
algorithm for reals.
Speaker 2: Must be a thing. Yeah that's true. Okay, okay, because
if I.
Speaker 3: Create a recipe for it, I would say, like, I can't,
I can't eat bacon fat, but something, Yeah I can. Yeah,
the fattiest fat you can find? Yeah, is this Crisco?
It's actually vegetables.
Speaker 1: Right, we can list off the fantasy and idiots and
then the like real world substitutes.
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, incredible. Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 3: Butter is animal fat. I would probably like we could
do that.
Speaker 1: You need one quart of horse bee honey. If you
can't get that regular honey, we'll do.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Listen, I saw a Game of Thrones cookbook in the
store the other day.
Speaker 3: So you see cookbooks on everything. Yeah, yeah, they don't
make sense.
Speaker 2: It needs to make sense.
Speaker 3: I have a Harry Potter cookbook. I don't think I've
ever actually cooked a recipe it. Yeah, that's fair, that's fair.
Speaker 1: So here's what I'm hearing. If we get to five
hundred patrons, we'll do a cookbook.
Speaker 3: I love it. I love it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know how that's gonna work.
Speaker 4: Yet, we have to do We're gonna have to do
an episode where we test the recipes.
Speaker 2: Yes, just sipping on sipping on mead mold wine.
Speaker 1: You know what we could do if we ever do
we do this? We can have our patrons, patrons, patrons, patrons, uh,
submit recipe ideas, and your recipes might wind up in
the show as things that are weird little foodies come
across in the story that.
Speaker 2: I love.
Speaker 1: That crap. This show is only on the Patreon. I
might post this episode to the main channel. That's plug.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 4: I'll make a real This one has to go all
the way up because in this this is the episode
where we mentioned so many recipes and writing fanfic.
Speaker 3: So yeah, all right, and I don't lie. I want
to interact with the audience like I want. I want
our viewers to actually like us. Tell us what you're enjoying. Yeah,
I want to break the fourth wall.
Speaker 1: And the only place you can do that is on
the nixt archive, Patreon, or probably the hands on Games Discord.
If we're real, please please join the Patreon. I made
a free game. It's help.
Speaker 3: He's put a lot of time and work into everything.
Speaker 1: Oh man, my extremely patient wife. Oh all right, well,
speaking of time, I think we're out of it. God,
I'm good at this. All right. Guys, Well, thank you
so much for joining us wherever you are in space
and time. We here at the next archive. Hope it's
a good one. We never came up with the second
half of that phrase.
Speaker 4: I think it would be great if we never sign
off the same way and it's always a little bit wrong.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite podcasts, Behind the Bastards, does just
an insane intro every single time they start, but instead
of being like, welcome to Papa bye, he just goes
and then just starts the show, or like sometimes he
just like says something like, well that's the thing about
monkey wrenches, and then he just gets into it, and
I love it. I love it. It's so good.
Speaker 4: I listened to the Handsome podcast all the time, and
I like how at the end, the three of them
it's just their voices going, what a.
Speaker 2: Podcast, What a podcast?
Speaker 3: What a podcast?
Speaker 1: Oh dear, we will come up with our own. I
do like wherever you are in space and time. Bye.
Speaker 3: Yeah. If I'm recording, telling Dick, tell us who she is. No,
I still don't want to know.
Speaker 2: You can tell Maddie. I want to live. I want
to find out the hard way. I want to make
it on the hard way.
Speaker 3: You're making me wait until I walk upstairs.
