Daniel [GM] (00:00:30): Welcome to Explorers Wanted. We are a weekly Numen era actual play podcast. I will be your humble GM, Daniel Andrlik. With me today is Sampson Davis. Sampson [Dili] (00:00:42): If fish could talk, would they talk out of their mouths or through their gills? I wrote that down a week ago. I think it might be a clue. Daniel [GM] (00:00:51): Marietta Jones. Marietta [Atalia] (00:00:52): I really hope it's gills just because I think it'd be really funny to watch, like gill flutter, flutter, flutter, as they talk. Daniel [GM] (00:01:01): Alex Finn. Alex [ChaCha] (00:01:03): Sometimes I wonder why we don't just pre-record a generic entrance and then dump it in every time. And then we have these little gems and I'm just like, "Well, my brain's gone further than this." Who knows. Daniel [GM] (00:01:15): And Stace Babcock. Stace [Nix] (00:01:16): Can't possibly be the gills. That doesn't make any sense. Sampson [Dili] (00:01:22): It's what they breathe out of though. Stace [Nix] (00:01:22): But it's double-sided. Sampson [Dili] (00:01:25): What? Stace [Nix] (00:01:25): There's a gill on each side. That just seems... And how would they articulate with the gills? How would they pronounce things with the gills? Daniel [GM] (00:01:33): Maybe they always speak in stereo. Sampson [Dili] (00:01:36): Yeah. Stace [Nix] (00:01:37): And not always the same thing. So it's like a double layer of meaning. Daniel [GM] (00:01:41): Yeah. It's like those aliens in Embassy Town where they have the two mouths, they do the two voices. Marietta [Atalia] (00:01:46): Also, this is the ninth world. We have no idea how mutations have progressed. Stace [Nix] (00:01:53): I didn't think we were talking about ninth world fish, but in that case. Marietta [Atalia] (00:01:56): Now we are. Stace [Nix] (00:01:58): Would they even have gills? Marietta [Atalia] (00:01:59): Well, actually... Sampson [Dili] (00:02:04): I feel like the octopi may have bred that out of all the sea fish just because they didn't like the way it looked. Daniel [GM] (00:02:10): Yeah. Stace [Nix] (00:02:10): I kind of hope we meet the octopi again. Daniel [GM] (00:02:13): They all just have like giant snorkels. They're like the snorks, but more ... gross. Alex [ChaCha] (00:02:24): That would make murder really easy though. Like you just go around the top and cut off all the snorks above the water and it's like, fuck your civilization. Daniel [GM] (00:02:33): If you want to over fish, sure. They don't have mercury problems. That's good food right there. Marietta [Atalia] (00:02:41): My dad played with mercury in his bare hands when he was young and then he turned out just fine. Alex [ChaCha] (00:02:47): Remember using mercury thermometers, old people. I do cause I'm old. Marietta [Atalia] (00:02:52): I got one in the mail for my lab kit. I got two of them. Alex [ChaCha] (00:02:56): Yeah. I have one in my parents' house and I'm just like, "Hope that didn't go up anyone's butt." Imagine breaking it now. Marietta [Atalia] (00:03:04): I feel like if you're breaking it up someone's butt that there's a problem. Daniel [GM] (00:03:10): That was a fun journey through a variety of tunnels and terms. So, before we get started today, we have an important order of business. Marietta [Atalia] (00:03:22): We have exciting news. Daniel [GM] (00:03:24): We have a new patron. Sampson [Dili] (00:03:25): Yay. Marietta [Atalia] (00:03:25): Yes we do. Alex [ChaCha] (00:03:25): Yay. Daniel [GM] (00:03:29): Our new patrons, the Taylor family. Our good buddies Nicholas and Grace. We have hung with them at couple of GeeklyCons now. They are awesome people, great role players and ... Marietta [Atalia] (00:03:45): Such lovely people. Daniel [GM] (00:03:46): Just good people all around. Stace [Nix] (00:03:49): Put up with our bullshit in person, which is honestly... Marietta [Atalia] (00:03:52): Like more than once? That's impressive. Daniel [GM] (00:03:54): Yeah. That's pretty impressive actually. Yeah. Like last year at GeeklyCon, they did a mini campaign with me. So they did four games in a row of Numenera with me that was like a mini campaign across the Con. So it was good times and they played two rounds of 10 Candles as well, which shows that they're gluttons for punishment. Marietta [Atalia] (00:04:17): I love them both. Alex [ChaCha] (00:04:17): Thank you Nicholas and Grace. Daniel [GM] (00:04:17): They're great people. Nicholas and Grace, thank you so much for your support. It means the world to us. Marietta [Atalia] (00:04:25): It does. Sampson [Dili] (00:04:25): Especially through the times we live in right now. Like that's a lot. Yeah. Daniel [GM] (00:04:30): Yes. Thank you so much. Marietta [Atalia] (00:04:33): We love you. Stace [Nix] (00:04:34): Well, I love you. At least I won't speak for everybody else. Marietta [Atalia] (00:04:37): You can speak for me. Alex [ChaCha] (00:04:40): I also love the Taylor family. Daniel [GM] (00:04:43): So, who remembers what happened last time? Marietta [Atalia] (00:04:48): I do. Daniel [GM] (00:04:50): I think I am going to pick on ... everybody's giving me the poker face. Marietta. Marietta [Atalia] (00:04:57): Oh man. I hope you guys are ready to hear me talk about last episode in which we were, we found Stannis. And that's kind of where we left off and that's where we started the episode and I successfully checked the Numeneras and understood that if we activated this one thing and then this other thing simultaneously that we would be able to free Stannis without killing her. So after a lot of debating, we executed a plan which was effective and released her. But then after she was released that we heard the bees again, oh no. And good perception rolled. Noticed there's a little tunnel thing. That's like a naturally occurring thing. Like a chute that leaves this room. Otherwise, the only exit is back the way that the bee creature is coming and Dili puts up an illusion and Nix goes first. And Stannis passed out actually after we freed her and Nix was dragging her and then Atalia went and then [Jeski 00:06:11], who we definitely discussed, Jeski went next and then it was Dili. Marietta [Atalia] (00:06:18): And then ChaCha. And as I think, as Dili was going in, they saw the bee dude come in and it was like way scarier and way more bad guys. And it was like, "Ah, clearly we're glad we're GTFO'ing." And we went down and then we came to the end of the tunnel that dropped off into a pitch-black cavern reminiscent of Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring, when Gandalf falls to the bottom through the cave. Or I guess that's actually in the Two Towers is when that scene is in the movie. To be clear in the movies. So, you dropped down, it's like, "Ah, there's a bunch of water and it's super spooky and dark and there's like a river and it's not super wide." And so after a bunch of bullshit, there's like a rope situation and Nix swings over with Stannis. Leaves Stannis, comes back up and then Atalia, me goes down and then ... Daniel [GM] (00:07:14): Atalia went down first. Marietta [Atalia] (00:07:16): O, I went down first? Okay. Atalia went down first and then Stannis was transported. And then I was like, "Oh, Stannis, let me help you." And Stannis was like, "What's the fucking door?" And I was like, "I don't know what the door is." And then she was like, "Oh, let me grab your hair and try to kill you." And if I recall that's where we left off. Alex [ChaCha] (00:07:38): Yep. And Nix had gone to get Jeski. Daniel [GM] (00:07:40): Yeah, Nix had gone back up. Alex [ChaCha] (00:07:41): So you don't even have backup. Daniel [GM] (00:07:44): And you're next to a roaring river. So probably nobody heard the conversation you just had with Stannis. There are some very specific order operations that I need to correct. Stannis was moaning. You said, "It's okay." Then you felt the knife against your throat. When she said, "Who are you?" And then you tried to bat her hand away and failed. She gripped your hair tight to hold you close while she held the knife up to your neck. And she said, "Salah sent you?" And you said, "Yes." She said, "Prove it. What is the door?" Marietta [Atalia] (00:08:20): Oh, okay. So Atalia hasn't answered yet. Daniel [GM] (00:08:22): That's where we left off. Marietta [Atalia] (00:08:24): Okay. Alex [ChaCha] (00:08:24): That's that's a cooler cliffhanger than I don't fucking know. Which it is also a good cliffhanger, but not as cool. Daniel [GM] (00:08:36): So yeah, here you are. Next to this roaring river in the dark, your friends cannot see you. They probably did not hear this conversation whatsoever. Jeski did make a concerned wine from up above before it happened. Marietta [Atalia] (00:08:50): I think that's Jeski's state of being existing with me. It's just always ... I was telling them this the other day. Pretty sure Jeski is Courage the Cowardly Dog. Daniel [GM] (00:09:00): And Jeski's crystals did glow orange up in the tunnel. Marietta [Atalia] (00:09:04): Danger. Alex [ChaCha] (00:09:05): Uh oh. We're code orange. Marietta [Atalia] (00:09:08): Yeah. Well I guess I'm just like, "Dear God, again? I don't know what this fucking door is. No one has told me what the damn door is and you're not the first person who's asked me." Daniel [GM] (00:09:18): Give me a social role. 15. Marietta [Atalia] (00:09:21): Yep. I don't have anything for that. So that's a 13. Daniel [GM] (00:09:26): You keeping that? Marietta [Atalia] (00:09:27): Can I spend effort? Daniel [GM] (00:09:31): You can spend effort if you want to. Yeah. You can spend that to try again. You're still going to have the consequences of the first one. Or you could just spend an XP to just re-roll as you were. Marietta [Atalia] (00:09:42): I'm not spending an XP. If this is how I die, then that's not a very good character arc honestly. Stace [Nix] (00:09:49): We're like death before [inaudible 00:09:52]. Alex [ChaCha] (00:09:53): Yeah. Come on. Marietta [Atalia] (00:09:55): This one XP, man. Daniel [GM] (00:09:57): Yeah, when Stace referred that we're a very level and focused group she was not kidding. Marietta [Atalia] (00:10:02): Have you seen those higher tiers, my dudes? Stace [Nix] (00:10:05): Give me leveling or give me death. Daniel [GM] (00:10:08): Since you're failing the first role, she holds the knife tighter against your throat and says, "I'd be a little bit more careful if I were you. Who do you work for?" Marietta [Atalia] (00:10:26): Mama Jaron and Salah for this job, I guess. We're here on a Mama Jaron job though. Daniel [GM] (00:10:33): So she narrows her eyes at Mama Jaron and says, "Caller." Marietta [Atalia] (00:10:41): The Caller. Like calls on phones. Sampson [Dili] (00:10:44): That's what's Salah called Mama Jaron when we talked. Marietta [Atalia] (00:10:47): I did not know. Daniel [GM] (00:10:48): That she was a caller. She was one of the callers. Marietta [Atalia] (00:10:52): Lady, I wish I knew what that meant, but I really don't. I've only done a couple jobs for Mama Jaron, and this is my first time leaving Shermond and I'm the reason that you're not in that machine anymore. So why are you trying to kill me? Daniel [GM] (00:11:07): Okay. So make another social role. This time you'll have an asset. So it's a 12. Stace [Nix] (00:11:11): And that face says it. Alex [ChaCha] (00:11:17): I was going to create. Marietta [Atalia] (00:11:19): So it was a seven. Daniel [GM] (00:11:21): Okay. Alex [ChaCha] (00:11:21): So what's your new character's name? Sampson [Dili] (00:11:24): Actually. I'm going to give Marietta an XP for that. Marietta [Atalia] (00:11:26): No, no, no. Don't waste the XP. Stace [Nix] (00:11:31): We reject your XP. Sampson [Dili] (00:11:32): You have a knife at your throat, what are you talking about? Marietta [Atalia] (00:11:34): It's fine. It will just be another fun scar. You know. Stace [Nix] (00:11:38): Atalia has six might points. She's going to be fine. Sampson [Dili] (00:11:41): You have six might points? Marietta [Atalia] (00:11:43): No, I have seven. I have seven out of 10 right now. Alex [ChaCha] (00:11:46): It's not like knives ignore armor. Stace [Nix] (00:11:48): Oh my God. I actually didn't realize it was that bad. Sampson [Dili] (00:11:51): Well re-roll anyway. Maybe put some effort into it. I don't know. Daniel [GM] (00:11:55): Well, she can't put effort into it. Sampson [Dili] (00:11:56): Oh, she ... Stace [Nix] (00:11:57): A dagger is a light weapon. It's two points of damage. Atalia's fine. Marietta [Atalia] (00:12:01): I'll use the dice. Daniel [GM] (00:12:04): Because XP, just to be clear, not just for you guys, but also for our listeners, XP is like freezing a moment in time. It's literally just re-rolling that die. You can't change any of the dynamics of it. You're literally just redoing that roll. Marietta [Atalia] (00:12:19): I'm checking the dice that has saved me on more than one occasion. I'm going to roll it and we'll see. Alex [ChaCha] (00:12:26): If it's a one I'm going to pee myself. Marietta [Atalia] (00:12:27): That's an 11. Sampson [Dili] (00:12:28): Oh man. Daniel [GM] (00:12:28): Okay. Stace [Nix] (00:12:32): Oh, Sampson, when will you learn? Sampson [Dili] (00:12:34): Never apparently. Marietta [Atalia] (00:12:37): Thank you for trying, Sampson. I appreciate it. Daniel [GM] (00:12:39): Marietta, please make a might defense role of 15. Marietta [Atalia] (00:12:46): Eight. Daniel [GM] (00:12:47): So Stannis reaches up with her legs and flips you over onto your back and is now on top of you with a knife to your throat and holding your head against a rock. Marietta [Atalia] (00:12:58): Atalia is kind of into it. Alex [ChaCha] (00:13:06): Yeah. I was like, this is very nice. Marietta [Atalia] (00:13:09): This is not what she says to be clear. Stace [Nix] (00:13:12): Atalia has an [crosstalk 00:13:13]. Daniel [GM] (00:13:15): And Stannis says, "Stay very still." And there is a moment and light starts gleaning from her hand with a knife, not from any device. Her hand just starts glowing and it just brings a little bit of light. And she looks at you with shock for a moment. And she's like, "Salah? No, you're no, you're not her. Who are you?" Marietta [Atalia] (00:13:56): That's my mother. Daniel [GM] (00:13:58): She kind of moves one of her hands down. It's like iron. She grips your chin and kind of moves your head from side to side. She's like, "You're the right age? How the hell did you find me here?" Marietta [Atalia] (00:14:12): Like I said, Mama Jaron sent us to do a job to find a caravan. We met up with Salah. He was our contact. He also asked us about the fucking door. And then he was like, "Oh by the by, if you happen to find Stannis that would be super fucking helpful because she should have been back by now." And then we figured out the whole caravan thing, but we discovered the bee man who had taken you. And so then we went down a tunnel and found you and rescued you. And now we're underground and please don't kill me. Can I not die today? Daniel [GM] (00:14:42): Okay. Please make another social role. You have an asset this time. There actually will be consequences if you fail. Marietta [Atalia] (00:14:49): I'm going to put some effort into it. Sampson [Dili] (00:14:52): Thank you. Daniel [GM] (00:14:52): Okay. Marietta [Atalia] (00:14:52): I was like, "Oh man, been doing well lately. Just not today." I'll do two levels of effort. Daniel [GM] (00:15:08): Okay. So, that brings it down to a six. And Marietta rolls a two. Marietta [Atalia] (00:15:13): That's a 13, 13, 13, 13. Double digits. Daniel [GM] (00:15:15): She says, "When I saw your face in the lab, I was convinced you were here to kill me, but you're not her. I'm going to let go of you now. Don't try anything stupid." Marietta [Atalia] (00:15:29): Honestly, I haven't seen her in 10 years. She's probably dead. Daniel [GM] (00:15:32): "I doubt it." And she loosens up and steps back. Her hand is still glowing to throw light in this room. Now the rest of you can see that there's now light down there and you can see that Stannis is standing, backing away from Atalia. With the dagger in her hand. Atalia is on the ground. Sampson [Dili] (00:15:51): I feel like Dili and ChaCha won't be able to see any. Daniel [GM] (00:15:54): Dili and ChaCha probably can't see it. Nix could see it though, for sure. Stace [Nix] (00:15:57): Would you think that Nix and Jeski would be on their way back down? Was that enough time to get Jeski harnessed? Okay. Daniel [GM] (00:16:04): Yeah, I'd say by now. Marietta [Atalia] (00:16:05): Atalia just sits up and kind of sits on the shore. Kind of looking around. I think she's squinting a little, like while our eyes adjust back to the light. Daniel [GM] (00:16:15): Stannis is definitely clocking you and Jeski coming down though. She's keeping an eye and she's kind of positioning herself so that she's got both you guys and Atalia, who's still currently on the rock ground in sight and kind of trying to keep an equal distance from both of you. Marietta [Atalia] (00:16:33): Yeah. Look, none of them know what the door is. We were all hired by Mama Jaron to do a job in Shermond and then that was no longer a safe situation. So she sends us to investigate the caravan situation and then we met Salah. And that's how we heard about finding you. So you want your secret codes? Unfortunately, we don't have the password. Daniel [GM] (00:16:54): "Okay. Contractors, then." Marietta [Atalia] (00:16:56): Who even knows really? But yeah, we're sort of in a pickle. I need to get out of here and going back the way we came is probably not a viable option. Daniel [GM] (00:17:07): For sure. And about this time Nix and Jeski are kind of coming place ... Jeski kind of jumps away from however Nix was carrying her and comes over to Atalia and kind of goes over licks Atalia's face, and then kind of takes a defensive position in front of Atalia. Marietta [Atalia] (00:17:22): Atalia will just pet Jeski behind her right ear. The one that she really enjoys being scratched behind. "It's okay." Daniel [GM] (00:17:29): I love that detail. Stace [Nix] (00:17:31): I'm imagining that Nix is just still hanging like five feet from the bottom of the rope because Jeski lept. Nix is going to go back up, but she sees the situation. She's just like, "Yo Atalia, everything okay?" Marietta [Atalia] (00:17:46): I think so. Stace [Nix] (00:17:47): You need me? Because I think ChaCha could probably climb. Marietta [Atalia] (00:17:51): Nah, we need to go get them. Definitely go get Dili. Thank you for bringing Jeski. Stace [Nix] (00:17:58): All right. Stannis, good to see you awake. Definitely would have helped if you'd woke up like five to seven minutes ago, but I don't blame you. It's not your fault. Nix [crosstalk 00:18:09]. Marietta [Atalia] (00:18:19): Oh man. I can totally imagine that happening. Daniel [GM] (00:18:19): Stannis watches Nix go up the rope again and turns to you like, "She's not dressed like one, but that's a traveler, isn't it?" Marietta [Atalia] (00:18:23): Oh yeah. And buddy boy, that'll come down here in a minute is a Wright. He's a little squishy, but ... Daniel [GM] (00:18:30): " They all are." Marietta [Atalia] (00:18:31): He is very intelligent and I think he'll be handy. I mean, Ciphers, man. I'm ready for the day when he starts spitting those out again. Daniel [GM] (00:18:40): Same. So Stannis is going to kind of keep her distance from you a little bit Atalia. You can tell, since even with the little light that she's shining, because she's not shining a lot, but with your adjusted eyes, you can clearly see she's still a little wobbly on her feet. Marietta [Atalia] (00:18:59): Mm-hmm (affirmative). Daniel [GM] (00:19:01): She's got her knife out, but it's more ... Daniel [GM] (00:19:03): She's got her knife out, but it's more like Marietta [Atalia] (00:19:04): Do you need food or water? I know you're all tough and strong and you could totally kill me if you wanted to, but you also are looking a little rough lady. Daniel [GM] (00:19:17): Um, Yeah. Food would be good. Marietta [Atalia] (00:19:20): Probably. Well, they got a ration and set it like halfway between them. Got to keep that distance. Daniel [GM] (00:19:28): Stanis will cautiously approach and take the ration and come over, she starts eating. One thing, she definitely looks very hungry, Atalia. And one thing that's notable to you is that she looks incredibly hungry. Right. But she takes very careful measured bites. She's not trying to wolf it down. Marietta [Atalia] (00:20:00): Okay. I mean, that's smart. Daniel [GM] (00:20:02): She's taking measured bites and watching closely. Marietta [Atalia] (00:20:06): I want to look around the cavern and see if there's any other tunnels that leave either from the shore or the other shore. Or if I can tell how deep the river is, that kind of thing. Daniel [GM] (00:20:14): So there are two ways in and out. There's a one where the water is coming in. There's about a foot of space between the top of the river and the cavern ceiling. And then there is where the water is rushing out. There's really only a couple inches of space between the water and the cavern ceiling. Marietta [Atalia] (00:20:40): Okay. So it's really, we have to take the river. Daniel [GM] (00:20:44): Yeah. And I don't think just by looking at the river that you could tell how deep it was. Marietta [Atalia] (00:20:47): Okay. Daniel [GM] (00:20:49): And about this time, I think Nix could be coming down with Dili. Marietta [Atalia] (00:20:52): Okay. Sampson [Dili] (00:20:54): Don't drop me. Don't drop me. Don't drop me. Don't drop me. Alex [ChaCha] (00:20:55): Is Dili next? Is ChaCha on Nix's back per usual? Daniel [GM] (00:21:01): ChaCha was the last one who went into the tunnel. So you need to get Dili out of the way before ChaCha can come out. Alex [ChaCha] (00:21:06): Oh, she was okay. Daniel [GM] (00:21:08): Actually, ChaCha could probably climb down the rope on her own once Dili is out of the way. Alex [ChaCha] (00:21:12): That's true. All right. So Nix has Dili strapped on? Daniel [GM] (00:21:18): Mm-hmm (affirmative). Okay. Sampson [Dili] (00:21:19): Dili, doesn't try to jump off or anything and he literally needs Nix to fully step down on the rock before he will try to get down. Alex [ChaCha] (00:21:25): Let go? Marietta [Atalia] (00:21:25): Atalia is reaching a handout out for Dili like, "it's okay. Come on, come on. Okay. Okay." Sampson [Dili] (00:21:34): I imagine Dili was kind of somehow in a harness. It's just like hanging from Nix as she climbs down, he's just like, Oh God don't drop me. Alex [ChaCha] (00:21:44): Like Stanis was carried down but your conscious. Marietta [Atalia] (00:21:50): You did it. Yay! Daniel [GM] (00:21:53): Dili is conscious, but just as still because he's so scared. Marietta [Atalia] (00:21:57): Wow. You look like you're petrified my dear. Daniel [GM] (00:22:00): Trembling. Sampson [Dili] (00:22:01): I'm fine. I just need the blood to get back into my hands and feet. Alex [ChaCha] (00:22:06): You know that? I don't want to tell you how I know this, but sometimes after people die, their bodies get all stiff, just like that. Sampson [Dili] (00:22:15): Oh, okay. Why would you say that? Alex [ChaCha] (00:22:20): I don't know. It just made me think of it. Sampson [Dili] (00:22:24): Oh, good. Alex [ChaCha] (00:22:25): You were just so stiff and like, Oh my gosh. It's pretty impressive. Sampson [Dili] (00:22:32): [inaudible 00:22:32] I'm going to sit over here for a second. Alex [ChaCha] (00:22:35): You want some water? Sampson [Dili] (00:22:37): I've had plenty of water, I think. Marietta [Atalia] (00:22:39): Okay. Atalia was going to return heading [inaudible 00:22:45] now. Daniel [GM] (00:22:48): Is Nix just hopping off the road. Stace [Nix] (00:22:50): She would hold the end so that ChaCha would be able to just climb down right where she needs to go. Daniel [GM] (00:22:56): Okay. And how about our favorite spider monkey? Alex [ChaCha] (00:22:58): That's my spider monkey making face. Stace [Nix] (00:23:03): Nix looks forward to it. Politely, to not cause damage. Daniel [GM] (00:23:06): So here's the question for you? Are you going to try to recover the rope at all? Since it was spiked in the place or not? Alex [ChaCha] (00:23:12): I think ChaCha would try. She knows she'd run out of stuff. So she's going to Daniel [GM] (00:23:17): How is she going to get down? Alex [ChaCha] (00:23:19): Spider monkey genes. Daniel [GM] (00:23:22): Nix just feels the rope drop into the water. Stace [Nix] (00:23:25): I'm just like, well I guess ChaCha is not coming guys. Daniel [GM] (00:23:31): So ChaCha, you're going to try to climb down the rock face to get there. Alex [ChaCha] (00:23:36): Yeah. Daniel [GM] (00:23:39): So with your training, that would be an 18. Alex [ChaCha] (00:23:45): Cool, cool. How cool is this? I should probably put in a little effort so I don't die. Daniel [GM] (00:23:51): It would be might. Alex [ChaCha] (00:23:52): Okay. I'm going to spend a level of effort. I have to use my brain now. So it's now a 15? Daniel [GM] (00:24:06): Correct. Alex [ChaCha] (00:24:07): Well, I got an 18 so muah ha ha ha ha. She's part spider monkey now. Daniel [GM] (00:24:13): Have you guys ever seen Bram Stoker's Dracula where John Harker looks out and sees Dracula climbing down the side of the castle. That's what ChaCha looks like to you guys. Alex [ChaCha] (00:24:23): Yes. In the red Cape. Yes. Daniel [GM] (00:24:27): There's your answer? ChaCha is your sexy vampire. We're done. Alex [ChaCha] (00:24:33): There we go. ChaCha was the vampire all along. Marietta [Atalia] (00:24:34): Finally. Vampires. I've waited my whole life for this. Alex [ChaCha] (00:24:43): It seems like the way it had to be. Daniel [GM] (00:24:46): So ChaCha gets down. Even Stanis seems a little disturbed. Alex [ChaCha] (00:24:49): I assume she went down like head first, too, right? Daniel [GM] (00:24:51): Yeah. For sure. Yeah. There's no way there wasn't any other way. Alex [ChaCha] (00:24:56): Yep. Daniel [GM] (00:24:56): And somehow her red cape did not go flying above her head. Somehow it stayed in the right spot. Like nobody understands. There's no physics that makes sense to this. Marietta [Atalia] (00:25:04): Wow. That is some gravity defying. Alex [ChaCha] (00:25:08): Physics don't apply to ChaCha. Daniel [GM] (00:25:11): So now you guys are all on the shore with Stanis. Marietta [Atalia] (00:25:14): Welcome to the shoreline. Daniel [GM] (00:25:17): Good to be here, Atalia. Marietta [Atalia] (00:25:19): It's way better than that creepy laboratory with beeman and bee people. Alex [ChaCha] (00:25:25): Yeah. Sampson [Dili] (00:25:26): How do we get out? Marietta [Atalia] (00:25:27): Good question. Daniel [GM] (00:25:31): Stanis looks around like, " I have no idea." Alex [ChaCha] (00:25:35): Okay. So guys, the first rule of water is that it goes somewhere. Marietta [Atalia] (00:25:40): Yeah. It's just, we can't really follow it past here. Alex [ChaCha] (00:25:46): I'm going to see where it goes. Stace [Nix] (00:25:49): So Nix is recovered. Did ChaCha pull the stake out? Alex [ChaCha] (00:25:53): Yes. Okay. Stace [Nix] (00:25:55): So Nix is going to just re-anchor it to the shoreline and jump in the water. She's going to like tie the rope around her waist and see where she goes. Marietta [Atalia] (00:26:04): Do you want to blow up or something? Stace [Nix] (00:26:07): I got one, Atalia, but remember I lost the other one. Cause I threw it out here. I don't know where it is. Marietta [Atalia] (00:26:14): I point down. Daniel [GM] (00:26:18): You immediately began getting washed quite rapidly down towards this exit tunnel. This exit tunnel has maybe an inch or two of clearance above the surface of the water. And you're moving incredibly fast. I'm assuming that you anchored your rope somewhere closer to the hole rather than Stace [Nix] (00:26:40): Yeah, yeah. [inaudible 00:26:41] Daniel [GM] (00:26:41): Cause otherwise you're going to come to a sharp stop before you even get there. Are you going to duck your head under or are you going to just hope that you hit that one inch mark and that it doesn't descend? Stace [Nix] (00:26:54): Oh, Nix will duck her head. Yeah. Daniel [GM] (00:26:59): Okay. You're going so fast. It's even hard to kind of keep tracking until you feel the rope tug, you've reached the end. And if you reach it up a hand, you're still hitting rock surface just above the water. Stace [Nix] (00:27:13): And if Nix looks down? Daniel [GM] (00:27:16): Your rope is 50 feet, I assume. Stace [Nix] (00:27:20): Yeah. Daniel [GM] (00:27:20): Do you have a glow glow? Stace [Nix] (00:27:22): Yeah. Daniel [GM] (00:27:24): The glow glow, you can see that you probably have. It's a little hard to gauge underwater. Cause distances get funny underwater. But if Nix had to guess the river is maybe six feet deep here. Stace [Nix] (00:27:40): It's essentially a tunnel. Daniel [GM] (00:27:46): You're not sure how much farther the tunnel goes. Stace [Nix] (00:27:50): Yeah, okay. Daniel [GM] (00:27:51): Ooh, I got an idea. Let's give something to the dice. Stace [Nix] (00:27:55): Okay. Daniel [GM] (00:27:55): You can roll a perception to see if you could guess how much farther the tunnel goes. Stace [Nix] (00:28:01): Would navigation help with distance estimation. Daniel [GM] (00:28:04): Sure. Yeah. Let's say that because this is a Sci-Fi fantasy game. We'll say that that's enough to figure out navigation out of the water. Stace [Nix] (00:28:13): I don't remember what the [chart 00:28:15] target was but I got to 17. Daniel [GM] (00:28:17): That's enough. You're not 100% sure. But from what you can see from the glow glows, there's a chance that maybe it's definitely more than another 50 feet. It might be another 70 feet could be a hundred feet. Could be more. You think you can see something opening up wider there. You're not sure if it's going to lead into another dark chamber or if it is just the tunnel surface, the tunnel ceiling will rise above the water again. But there's something there. It's definitely longer than you have a rope to go there unless you've started to tie a bunch of your ropes together, but maybe there's somewhere where things start opening up. Stace [Nix] (00:29:05): So at this point, Nix will come swimming back up stream. Daniel [GM] (00:29:11): Okay. So give me some sort of might based roll because you're swimming, you have the rope as an asset. Stace [Nix] (00:29:17): Okay. Daniel [GM] (00:29:18): Okay. So this is a raging river still. You are trying to be at 21, you've got a rope as an asset. So that's an 18. Stace [Nix] (00:29:29): I'll spend two might efforts. Daniel [GM] (00:29:36): That brings it down to a 12. Stace [Nix] (00:29:36): Would you consider climbing and ability that would help with this? Daniel [GM] (00:29:40): If the way you're going to do it is trying to climb along the rope. Stace [Nix] (00:29:43): Yeah. Pull herself back up the rope. Daniel [GM] (00:29:45): Sure, so that's a nine. Stace [Nix] (00:29:49): Thirteen. Daniel [GM] (00:29:53): Okay. So it's very hard, but you managed to pull yourself back to the shore on the other side. Stace [Nix] (00:30:00): [crosstalk 00:30:00] So Nix reports about everything that she saw and now wants to try to swim, still secured by the rope, just in case, up the stream from where they are. Marietta [Atalia] (00:30:13): Do you want to tie together some rope so you can go a further distance? Wasn't this rope already tied to another rope? Daniel [GM] (00:30:20): It wasn't but I will say this swimming upstream is a 21. If you're going to, attaching rope, will only help you. [crosstalk 00:30:30] You're not going to be able to swim upstream very effectively. You're talking about swimming, upstream on the whitewater Rapids. Stace [Nix] (00:30:38): Okay. And getting anyone else to be able to do it. So it doesn't really matter what she finds upstream. Okay. Yeah, Atalia. I need at least two more ropes. Marietta [Atalia] (00:30:49): I have this one. Anyone else got some rope? Sampson [Dili] (00:30:52): I have a rope. Marietta [Atalia] (00:30:54): Oh, look. Another rope. Sampson [Dili] (00:30:56): Dili has got his crappy rope that's reeds and trash. Marietta [Atalia] (00:31:00): ChaCha, do you have a rope? Alex [ChaCha] (00:31:01): I'm trying to think if ChaCha has a rope. Marietta [Atalia] (00:31:04): Do you have an explorers pack? Stace [Nix] (00:31:06): If you have an explorers pack, you have a rope. Alex [ChaCha] (00:31:09): See the only equipment I have our book about [inaudible 00:31:13] clothing and drugs to see stuff. Stace [Nix] (00:31:15): By choice? Because I thought every character starts with an explorer's pack. Daniel [GM] (00:31:20): No, it's an option that they can spend shins on. Stace [Nix] (00:31:22): I have a confession. Daniel [GM] (00:31:25): But because ChaCha, doesn't, we've kind of decided that ChaCha doesn't do drugs to use her ability. So you could say that instead of that, you have an explorer's pack. Alex [ChaCha] (00:31:35): True. Daniel [GM] (00:31:36): If we kind of made that decision later on in the process, before we got into it, so it doesn't really make sense to have the usual starting drugs, because what happens to you is something that happens naturally. It's not something that you have to take drugs to have happened. Alex [ChaCha] (00:31:52): I mean, cause she had drugs to make it like more intense, like damn, Daniel, that's some intense visions of horrible things. Here's a catatonic ChaCha who can see the future. Daniel [GM] (00:32:07): If that's a choice that you would like to make then absolutely. But in that case you will not have an explorers pack yet. Alex [ChaCha] (00:32:09): I kind of want that. Like she has emergency drugs. Daniel [GM] (00:32:12): Okay, to drop down any of her last mental barriers so that she kind of sees everything. Alex [ChaCha] (00:32:18): Yes. Daniel [GM] (00:32:19): Okay. Alex [ChaCha] (00:32:20): I think that'd be way more cool story-wise than having rope. Who needs rope? Stace [Nix] (00:32:26): Fine way to not net a game. Daniel [GM] (00:32:29): So between Dili's shitty rope, Atalia's rope and Nix's rope, you've got 150 feet of rope. Stace [Nix] (00:32:36): So Nix we'll huddle everybody together be like, all right guys, if I don't come. Daniel [GM] (00:32:41): I'm sorry to our European listeners that everything's in feet. Marietta [Atalia] (00:32:46): It's a problem, actually. Sampson [Dili] (00:32:48): I'm sure they're used to it. Stace [Nix] (00:32:49): We have 50 meters of rope. Alex [ChaCha] (00:32:52): That's amazing. Stace [Nix] (00:32:54): All right guys, if I don't come back, what you need to do is send Stanis down, all right. Send Stanis. Stanis you're right with that. Alex [ChaCha] (00:33:04): Stanis is not ready. Sampson [Dili] (00:33:06): The injured one? Alex [ChaCha] (00:33:07): Yeah. She's rough. Like she's acting hardcore, but she's not. Daniel [GM] (00:33:12): Yeah. Stanis looks at you, Nix says or they just tug on the rope. Marietta [Atalia] (00:33:17): Yeah. Like tug on the rope and we could pull you or something. Sampson [Dili] (00:33:21): Or ChaCha could just somehow climb under there and meet you on the other side. Stace [Nix] (00:33:25): Yeah. I would very much appreciate, maybe if you guys didn't remove any slack from the rope, if I'm stuck on the other side, just thinking about breathing. So maybe save that for if you're pretty sure I drowned. Marietta [Atalia] (00:33:39): Well, do you want to tug on the rope like three times and we'll pull you or something? Stace [Nix] (00:33:44): Nix just revises her chances of survival in her mind and is like, yeah, that's fine guys. Yeah. Marietta [Atalia] (00:33:49): Cool. Just tug on it a few, wiggle it real good. Stace [Nix] (00:33:55): You sure about these [inaudible 00:33:56] Atalia. Marietta [Atalia] (00:33:57): I am offended. Daniel [GM] (00:33:59): I'd be more worried about Dili's rope. Sampson [Dili] (00:34:01): It's a perfectly functional rope. Marietta [Atalia] (00:34:05): Atalia tries to fix it a little bit as she's tying. I'm like, [inaudible 00:15:08]. Daniel [GM] (00:34:19): Okay, Nix. [crosstalk 00:34:19] Daniel [GM] (00:34:19): Okay. So the first 50 feet, no problem. Second 50 feet, no problem. Third 50 feet, Nix. I need you to make a might based roll because even though you're very tough, you are being battered around in here and you're trying to hold your breath. So it'll be a nine might based roll. Stace [Nix] (00:34:41): Yeah I'm going to spend effort. Four. Daniel [GM] (00:34:47): So Nix you've reached the end is 150 feet. You can see that this is starting to open up, but you are starting to see dots in your vision as your breath starts weakening. And you're growing closer and you can tell the rope does not quite get you to where you need to be, see the end of this. You can see that there is an end and you don't know exactly what's on the other side of that end, but you're also at the point where you're in bad shape here. If you can't get there soon, you are going to pass out. Stace [Nix] (00:35:25): And the couple of inches is gone at this point of like air that was above, that would be Nix's first try. Daniel [GM] (00:35:35): Evens or odds? Stace [Nix] (00:35:36): Evens. Daniel [GM] (00:35:36): Okay. Sampson roll your 20 for me. Sampson [Dili] (00:35:43): Six. Daniel [GM] (00:35:44): There appears to be a little gap of air up there. Not much, maybe an inch and the water is pouring through. Stace [Nix] (00:35:54): And how far does Nix thing she is from the opening. Daniel [GM] (00:35:58): Maybe a couple of feet, but you're at the end of the rope. Stace [Nix] (00:36:02): Well, Nix has a length of rope around her waist. So she will untie it and try to hold it instead, get a couple extra feet. Daniel [GM] (00:36:12): Okay. So you're going to be trying to do this while you're suffering from lack of breath in the midst of these white water rapids? Stace [Nix] (00:36:22): She wasn't able to breathe? Daniel [GM] (00:36:24): You could try to go up there, but it's still going to be a challenge for you to try to get that air without getting battered against the rock. Stace [Nix] (00:36:31): Nix would try to get air first. Daniel [GM] (00:36:33): Okay. Give me a 12 might roll. You've got swimming that will help you. Stace [Nix] (00:36:39): I don't, a 12 might? Daniel [GM] (00:36:42): Mm-hmm (affirmative) Now it's not a 12th to say that you'll get that's the only way you can get air. It's 12 to get air without getting bashed against the rocks and hurt. Stace [Nix] (00:36:55): Okay. I feel like I was going to use confident outlook last session with the rope in the tunnel, but I didn't. Do you remember, Daniel, if I'm. Daniel [GM] (00:37:05): You did not. [crosstalk 00:37:06] So you still have confidant outlook in play. Stace [Nix] (00:37:09): Okay, so I choose to be trained in swimming, which feels like something I should have did to three minutes ago, but here we are now. Daniel [GM] (00:37:19): So yeah. That brings it down to the nine. Stace [Nix] (00:37:21): We'll do the two levels of effort I assume as might. Or is it speed for swimming? Daniel [GM] (00:37:28): No, its might. Stace [Nix] (00:37:29): Okay. That's a what three now? Six now? Daniel [GM] (00:37:33): Yes. Stace [Nix] (00:37:34): Three. Cause I used two levels. 16. Daniel [GM] (00:37:38): Okay. So you managed to get up to the surface and you get like a partial breath of air. It'll buy you a little bit. Stace [Nix] (00:37:45): All right. Well now Nix is going to try to untie it. Daniel [GM] (00:37:49): Okay. Stace [Nix] (00:37:49): Hold the end. Daniel [GM] (00:37:51): You're going to be able to untie it. To keep your grip while this is all happening. This is going to be, it won't be swimming though, because you're trying to hold onto this while you're doing this. It's kind of a crazy situation. Daniel [GM] (00:38:03): While you're doing this, it's kind of a crazy situation. So even though it feels like I'm being done it still feels like it's 12. Stace [Nix] (00:38:08): Here you go. I'm going to expend two levels of my effort. God I love this edge. Thank God. Daniel [GM] (00:38:15): Edge is amazing. Stace [Nix] (00:38:18): I honestly think edge over mic pool increase. Like if you're really trying to min-max. I always go mic pool increase first because I feel so strong, but edge is the real winner. Two levels of effort. Seven. Just made it. Yeah. Daniel [GM] (00:38:34): You get just far enough that you can break the surface of this river. It's still battering you back and forth, but you can see that you are in a cave opening that seems to be... You can see a light on the other side of this chamber as this river leads out of this cave and into... It's hard to see with all the light, it's kind of throwing your eyes off, but it looks like this is a cave exit that you could use to get back above ground. You're not sure how far you've been. I mean, you know how far you've been as far as from the river, but you're not sure where it's spitting out or putting you back. You can't really see details because you're in the dark looking out at the light. It's just very bright, but there is an exit there. And it seems to be an exit, notably enough, that does it result in immediate waterfall. Stace [Nix] (00:39:31): And to decide like, I assume that like the maps and stuff like that, or there's like a waterproof pouch or something that we have that keeps our documents like our journals. Daniel [GM] (00:39:44): Sure. Stace [Nix] (00:39:44): This is part of my plan, Daniel. Daniel [GM] (00:39:46): None of you actually explicitly said it, but I don't want to have to keep track of that. So we'll say that you have something that helps you with that. Stace [Nix] (00:39:55): So, Nix will take that pouch and write on like the first fresh page of her journal... Marietta [Atalia] (00:40:04): Hunter water? Stace [Nix] (00:40:05): No Nix is above water now. Daniel [GM] (00:40:07): You're above water, but you're in a raging river. Stace [Nix] (00:40:09): How am I going to write because I'm holding one handed? Nevermind. This isn't going to work. Nix will just swim back up just enough to retie it and tug three times and hope her friends can pull her back. Daniel [GM] (00:40:21): Okay. Okay. So this'll be easier. Let's do a nine might roll. Stace [Nix] (00:40:29): I don't feel like fucking around, so, then those two levels again to make it a... Daniel [GM] (00:40:33): How's you're mic pool looking? Stace [Nix] (00:40:35): Real good Daniel. Five. Three left. Next is going to take a couple. Shouldn't take a break. When she gets back for sure. Daniel [GM] (00:40:45): Okay. So Atalia, you feel three tugs on the rope. Marietta [Atalia] (00:40:48): They're like, "All right my dudes. Heave ho." And Natalia will start pulling and just be like, "Jesski, come on." Sampson [Dili] (00:40:56): She thinks we're playing tug of war. Marietta [Atalia] (00:40:57): Oh yeah. We got to pull it, Jesski. Pull it. Daniel [GM] (00:41:02): Okay. So Atalia is tugging. Who else is helping? You can get up to assets from people helping you. Sampson [Dili] (00:41:09): Dili will help. Daniel [GM] (00:41:11): Is that really it? Alex [ChaCha] (00:41:13): [inaudible 00:41:13] will help. Daniel [GM] (00:41:14): So you got two assets from that, which that brings it down to a six. Atalia, do you want to spend any my currency? Marietta [Atalia] (00:41:24): I'm going to say no, because I only have seven my points. Okay. I have two assets. So what is it? Daniel [GM] (00:41:31): Six. Marietta [Atalia] (00:41:32): Six. Fine, we'll spend a level of effort. 17. Daniel [GM] (00:41:40): So you managed to tug Nix to the surface mix. It's tuck and go there. Like you can definitely see those weird thoughts in front of your eyes and stuff like that. But Atalia pulls you free of the water, grabs your hand and tugs you onto the shore. Stace [Nix] (00:41:57): Nix is a very dramatic little mermaid, like crawls up on the shore coughing. Daniel [GM] (00:42:05): So wait. Are you the Prince in this scenario? Stace [Nix] (00:42:10): Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Nix is now a fish and a snack. Marietta [Atalia] (00:42:12): You okay? Stace [Nix] (00:42:16): Cool, man, dude, that was wild. Holy shit. I thought I was going to drown, but it didn't. So thanks for pulling me back, guys. But that's definitely the exit. It's got to really fucking suck though, for you guys who are a little bit weaker, Dili, to get down there. Dili, you might want to build a thing or like something. I don't know. Sampson [Dili] (00:42:45): Okay. I'll just build something from the fucking rocks here. Yeah. Stace [Nix] (00:42:50): Yeah. That's what I was thinking. Daniel [GM] (00:42:53): Because your hair is covered in scales it doesn't necessarily soak up water. I was going to suggest that as the other players see you come out of the water, Nix comes out of the water and then her green hair kind of shakes as if it's shaking all the water off of its individual follicles before it settles back into place. Stace [Nix] (00:43:14): Oh, for sure. And then like a wave, like in a pattern. They're moving with some sort of coordination. Marietta [Atalia] (00:43:22): I'm both turned on and disconcerted at the same time. Stace [Nix] (00:43:26): Me too, Atalia. all the time. Marietta [Atalia] (00:43:31): Explains a lot. Explains a lot. Stace [Nix] (00:43:33): Yeah. So it's the way out. But I am a little bit worried guys. That was actually kind of hard for me to do. And I'm just worried about you guys, if you try it. So I don't know if you have any ideas, but you'd definitely fit. The rope isn't quite long enough. Marietta [Atalia] (00:43:48): What if you don't have a rope? What if you just like go with the river? Will it just get you where need to go? Stace [Nix] (00:43:55): Yeah. But I think that the hard part might be stopping and you definitely want to make sure that you... So you can breathe, but you can only really fit like your mouth and nose above the water, through that tunnel. Marietta [Atalia] (00:44:09): So you need to be like on the surface, breathing. Stace [Nix] (00:44:11): Well, you should really hold your breath if you can. But like I'm saying, if you get stuck or something. How big was the tunnel Daniel? Like, was it shapeless? Daniel [GM] (00:44:20): Yeah. Stace [Nix] (00:44:21): Okay. So like everyone could fit. Like it's not like the one we came out of? Daniel [GM] (00:44:26): Yeah. More people could fit side by side. I don't know if you could go as one group without the people on the sides getting bashed up. You couldn't hold hands and think happy thoughts like Peter pan, you would definitely have to stagger yourselves a bit. Stace [Nix] (00:44:43): Man is a Peter pan theory ever going to work or like strategy? We just hold hands and try our best. Sampson [Dili] (00:44:50): Save that for the final boss. Stace [Nix] (00:44:52): Excellent. Daniel [GM] (00:44:54): You mean ChaCha? Yeah. Stace [Nix] (00:44:57): Was there a shore in that final chamber? Was there like, if you wanted to stop before you got all the way out, theoretically, you could get off on the side? Daniel [GM] (00:45:06): Yeah, if you could make your way over there, for sure. You would have to try to make your way to there before the current dragged you out of the cave. Stace [Nix] (00:45:14): All right. Yeah. Unless you guys can think of a way to do it that's not just sort of hopping in the water and hoping for the best, then I'll go first so I can catch people if necessary. Marietta [Atalia] (00:45:30): That seems legit. Sampson [Dili] (00:45:30): Are you guys sure this is the way we should go? Why not just use the hive man? Can we sneak past the hive man? Daniel [GM] (00:45:37): Oh, you want to go back up there? Marietta [Atalia] (00:45:40): You can get back up there? Daniel [GM] (00:45:43): I suppose not, now that your friend unhooked the rope. Alex [ChaCha] (00:45:48): I mean second spider monkey crawl back up. Stace [Nix] (00:45:51): We can rest for a while. I actually need to like take a breath. ChaCha is kind of a healer so we can fix you up a little bit before you try this too. Like, it'll be fine. And also we all die. It's inevitable. Sampson [Dili] (00:46:06): That's true. But I've got a lot of work to do yet. Alex [ChaCha] (00:46:10): Well, you never would have even gotten this far if it wasn't for us. Stace [Nix] (00:46:14): Yeah, that's true. It's like your life reset when you were putting the machine. Daniel [GM] (00:46:20): She kind of grimaces at you, not unlike the expression that Atalia gives you sometimes when you say something to her. And she just sits down and rests. Stace [Nix] (00:46:35): Good idea, dude. Nix will sit next to her and I want to rest at least ten minutes. Daniel [GM] (00:46:44): Okay. Stace [Nix] (00:46:47): Let me see how 10 minutes goes and then I'll tell you if I want to rest for longer. Marietta [Atalia] (00:46:52): Ooh, that's good. That's really good. Okay. So we'll make that an eight. Stace [Nix] (00:46:59): Good first roll. Mediocre second roll. Alex [ChaCha] (00:47:03): Do we want to try and rescue the longer or no? Sampson [Dili] (00:47:07): I'm at 15 might and everything else is full. So Nix would go for an hour if other people needed it. Alex [ChaCha] (00:47:16): How are your pools Atalia? Marietta [Atalia] (00:47:19): I met 16 out of 18 analoged and eight out of 10 miked, so I think I'm pretty good. I'll save that one hour in case I get worse. That's fine. Daniel [GM] (00:47:29): Nix, because you are trained in social, I think you'll notice that all this whole resting period is going on, Stanos is eyeing Atalia very uneasily. Stace [Nix] (00:47:42): Yo Stanos, what you got going on with my girl Atalia? Daniel [GM] (00:47:45): Just bad memories. Stace [Nix] (00:47:49): Of Atalia? Didn't know you knew each other. Daniel [GM] (00:47:53): Stanos smiles and looks at you and says, "She reminds me of someone I knew." Stace [Nix] (00:47:59): Oh really? Oh, that's interesting. Who is that? Sampson [Dili] (00:48:01): Does she know Jima? Stace [Nix] (00:48:03): Yeah, you know Jima? Daniel [GM] (00:48:06): Oh, Jima. I know of her, but I was thinking more immediate family. Stace [Nix] (00:48:17): Well, Atalia doesn't have any siblings. So it must be one of her... Daniel [GM] (00:48:24): She looks a lot like mother, except for the scar. Sampson [Dili] (00:48:33): Dili fumbles with whatever he was doing and then is like, "Oh." Marietta [Atalia] (00:48:37): Atalia sees this. Stace [Nix] (00:48:39): Oh yeah. That scar. Yeah. Dili did that. You wouldn't expect. Right? Sampson [Dili] (00:48:45): We were being attacked. I didn't do that on purpose. Stace [Nix] (00:48:49): We know it was an accident Dili. There's no way you could do something like that on purpose. Sampson [Dili] (00:48:54): Dili goes back to trying to craft something for underwater. Alex [ChaCha] (00:49:05): Are we just going to pass the cusp to each other until we finally talk about our feelings? Stace [Nix] (00:49:12): I think so. I think that's the theme of the show. Daniel [GM] (00:49:14): Also to clarify, are we doing an hour rest? Stace [Nix] (00:49:17): Do you need to? I was on the fence, but I would do an hour. Daniel [GM] (00:49:22): If we stay for an hour, I can try to argue something with always tinkering, but I will take a 10 minute rest on top of that. Stace [Nix] (00:49:29): Oh yeah. Then I would wait an hour for sure. Especially if tinkering's involved. Marietta [Atalia] (00:49:33): Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll wait an hour for that. I'll do another roll too. Do another little roll here. Ooh. Now we're full. Stace [Nix] (00:49:43): That plus two from tier two makes a difference. Marietta [Atalia] (00:49:47): Actually that roll was maybe unnecessary. Daniel [GM] (00:49:50): Yeah. It's pretty nice to be tier two. Sampson [Dili] (00:49:52): I bet it is. Marietta [Atalia] (00:49:52): Just imagine tier three. Alex [ChaCha] (00:49:54): So enjoyable. Tier two. Stace [Nix] (00:49:58): But you could craft a rebreather if you're a tier two. Sampson [Dili] (00:50:02): I need Io is the thing. And I don't have Io. Alex [ChaCha] (00:50:04): Do you want my cipher? You could extract Io from it. It's the only cipher I have left. It tells me if someone's lying or not. It's called lie year. Sampson [Dili] (00:50:15): I feel like you should keep that. I feel like that's going to come in useful for whatever you're going through. Alex [ChaCha] (00:50:22): It is a hat and I guess its tentacles like wiggle. So it's not exactly inconspicuous Daniel [GM] (00:50:29): It's up to you. I mean, if you want to have him salvage it, you absolutely can. Sampson [Dili] (00:50:32): There's no guarantee I'll get anything. Daniel [GM] (00:50:34): You don't necessarily need a automatic lie detector for anybody that you're going to be talking to in the near future. Alex [ChaCha] (00:50:42): Let's put that on the record. Stace [Nix] (00:50:46): Nix holds out like this bloody bag. She's like, I got this razor wire that I picked out of my thigh, Dili. Do you think that... Sampson [Dili] (00:50:51): What? Stace [Nix] (00:50:56): Remember that spider thing bit me, dude. It put like razor web in my thigh. Do you think it'll help? I kept it for you, man. Sampson [Dili] (00:51:06): How kind. I'll try. I don't know. Daniel [GM] (00:51:11): It smells really bad by the way. Sampson [Dili] (00:51:15): The spider's like a week ago, right? Daniel [GM] (00:51:18): Multiple weeks. Stace [Nix] (00:51:20): What even is time? Daniel [GM] (00:51:22): So it's dried blood and also like muscle tissue and fat tissue. Sampson [Dili] (00:51:29): I'll take a look. I don't know. Dili will take and just be like, Oh man, can I salvage it? Daniel [GM] (00:51:38): So it is a raw material in and of itself. It's whether or not you... So the question is this. Can you craft something to use it reliably? I'm going to say it's a gimme that Nix has it. Technically it would have been harder to pull it out of her leg without cutting off her own thumb. Stace [Nix] (00:51:57): Nix holds up her hands. No thumbs. You're like, "Where'd your thumbs go?" Sampson [Dili] (00:52:01): She's losing her limbs to the snake. Stace [Nix] (00:52:04): Snakes for thumbs. Daniel [GM] (00:52:05): That razor wire essentially cuts through anything that's less than level five. Sampson [Dili] (00:52:13): It's a really good burlap. Stace [Nix] (00:52:16): Yeah. I was imagining like cheese cloth, but I guess it's wrapped in something much more sturdy. Marietta [Atalia] (00:52:20): Does anyone else have a cipher they're not going to use? Stace [Nix] (00:52:24): No. Nix has none. Alex [ChaCha] (00:52:26): I think ChaCha has that winged backpack thing. Marietta [Atalia] (00:52:29): Is that a cipher? Daniel [GM] (00:52:30): It is a cipher. Alex [ChaCha] (00:52:34): I should have used the winged backpack to jump off that cliff. Sampson [Dili] (00:52:38): Can I salvage oddities? Daniel [GM] (00:52:38): Oddities will not have Io. They could have other things in them. But ciphers will definitely have Io in them if you can successfully salvage them. Marietta [Atalia] (00:52:47): Apparently Atalia should have been a delve. Daniel [GM] (00:52:53): So what are you going to do? Are you going to salvage the cipher? Are you going to talk to Stanos? You can do some swimming. Are you going to to climb a wall, play with some beads? What are you going to do? Alex [ChaCha] (00:53:10): Do we want to have ChaCha try and find the wall again and put back up the rope? Just Dracula back up that wall? Marietta [Atalia] (00:53:17): I mean, I don't really think facing the bee dude is the answer. Not going to lie. Stace [Nix] (00:53:23): Yeah. The problem's the entire hive I think. Not just like the one hive man, but it's like literally... Marietta [Atalia] (00:53:29): We should have just killed him in that first encounter. Alex [ChaCha] (00:53:33): But then we wouldn't have found Stanos. Stace [Nix] (00:53:35): How is Stanos doing now that she's had an hour? Daniel [GM] (00:53:39): She's looking much better. Alex [ChaCha] (00:53:41): We should talk to Stanos. ChaCha gets in Stanos's face and just stares at her like a creepy child. Marietta [Atalia] (00:53:47): Yeah. You know, she asked me the door question. Everybody's asking about the door thing. Stace [Nix] (00:53:54): Oh yeah. I think that that might be like a way that they make sure that like people are part of their organization, Atalia. Marietta [Atalia] (00:54:01): I don't know why they wanted us to help all these people that are balls deep in it and then make it so that they'll potentially kill us. It seems pretty petty. Sampson [Dili] (00:54:12): I'm sitting right here. Assholes. Stace [Nix] (00:54:15): Yeah. We get that a lot. Anything you want to tell us, Stanos, about the situation? Marietta [Atalia] (00:54:22): Yeah. How did you get caught by the man? Daniel [GM] (00:54:25): Well, the situation is in New Jersey. Stace [Nix] (00:54:26): Oh no. Fucking A. I finally Googled that. So I know what you're referencing. Daniel [GM] (00:54:33): The contractors. I mean, I can't say much more than whatever the callers already told you. Stace [Nix] (00:54:42): So like, then we speculate. Would you like to speculate with us, Stanos? I would hate to I guess not include you, but you understand like you're not telling us shit. Daniel [GM] (00:54:56): Make a social role at 15, Nix. Alex [ChaCha] (00:55:00): Could ChaCha assist? Stace [Nix] (00:55:02): Nix is specialized now. Daniel [GM] (00:55:04): Oh, that's right. She is. Yeah ChaCha could assist. So that brings it- Alex [ChaCha] (00:55:12): With her creepy child eyes? Daniel [GM] (00:55:13): Yeah. So it's a six. Stace [Nix] (00:55:16): Six. 11. Daniel [GM] (00:55:19): She says, do you even know who you're contracting for? Stace [Nix] (00:55:25): The guardian at night's hope or something like that? Daniel [GM] (00:55:29): That's good. Stace [Nix] (00:55:33): Yeah, we went to the library and we figured that. I got the book down from the shelf and... Marietta [Atalia] (00:55:40): I read the book. Daniel [GM] (00:55:44): Okay. Well that's good enough. Good assumption. Stace [Nix] (00:55:48): They protect humanity and humanoids, I think is what we get out of it. Daniel [GM] (00:55:54): For the most part. Marietta [Atalia] (00:55:56): Well, I hope they're the good guys. Daniel [GM] (00:55:58): For the most part. Marietta [Atalia] (00:56:01): [inaudible 00:56:01] and wasn't super nice though. Daniel [GM] (00:56:02): I always found her quite pleasant. Sampson [Dili] (00:56:05): Why do you keep picking a fight with her? Marietta [Atalia] (00:56:07): Well, she wouldn't tell us anything. Stace [Nix] (00:56:10): Well, we made her pay us double and then also Atalia called her a liar. So that's our relationship with... Marietta [Atalia] (00:56:18): She was a liar. Stace [Nix] (00:56:19): Well, she was not telling... Marietta [Atalia] (00:56:21): Telling the full truth. Daniel [GM] (00:56:24): Stanos raises an eyebrow, almost impossibly high in an arch. And she says, " I'm surprised you're still alive, then. She must like you all or see a lot of potential in you." Stace [Nix] (00:56:39): First of all, wicked brow dude. Holy shit. And she at least likes ChaCha. I think she likes me. Marietta [Atalia] (00:56:47): Sometimes, but ChaCha was the one that was like, "You're paying someone more than us." And then she was like, "How could you tell on me Atalia?" And I was like, "I didn't bro. You just flung yourself. Good job." Stace [Nix] (00:56:57): Well, like to be fair, you didn't tell us that you were making double. Marietta [Atalia] (00:57:01): I didn't even know what you guys were making, to be honest. Stace [Nix] (00:57:03): ... that you were making double? Marietta [Atalia] (00:57:03): I didn't even know what you guys were making to be honest. Daniel [GM] (00:57:04): Yeah, you did. Marietta [Atalia] (00:57:04): I did? Daniel [GM] (00:57:04): You were in the room when she negotiated with them. Marietta [Atalia] (00:57:07): Oh, okay. Stace [Nix] (00:57:07): You did. Marietta [Atalia] (00:57:07): JK. I totes knew. I'm just an asshole. Stace [Nix] (00:57:09): Yep. [inaudible 00:57:09] Atalia. Marietta [Atalia] (00:57:09): Atalia's just an idiot. Don't worry about it. That's a lie. She has high intellect. She's [inaudible 00:57:19]. Stace [Nix] (00:57:19): Well, are we involved in a good thing, Stanis? I am kind of curious, because sometimes when your goal is to protect certain people, sometimes your goal is to hurt other people. And that is not my thing. Marietta [Atalia] (00:57:35): Yeah. What's the moral alignment here? Daniel [GM] (00:57:39): Morality is always a complicated answer, but I can tell you whatever it was was not for me to devote my life to it. I turned my back on an extremely profitable lifestyle. I made powerful enemies in the process. And Nix, you see, she darts her eyes towards Atalia again. And I ... But the mission is important and it's worth the cost. Stace [Nix] (00:58:13): I would like to call on ChaCha. ChaCha has the floor. Daniel [GM] (00:58:22): What is ChaCha trying to do? Alex [ChaCha] (00:58:22): ChaCha wants to use her [inaudible 00:58:24] vision. Daniel [GM] (00:58:24): Hmm. Evens or odds? Alex [ChaCha] (00:58:28): Feeling like an odd day. Daniel [GM] (00:58:29): Okay. Stace roll. Stace [Nix] (00:58:33): It's an odd. It's a one. Sorry. Daniel [GM] (00:58:36): Okay. Stace [Nix] (00:58:36): Hope that doesn't matter. Daniel [GM] (00:58:38): Yeah. Stace [Nix] (00:58:39): Cool. Alex [ChaCha] (00:58:40): Got your one out of the way. Stace [Nix] (00:58:42): My one, one. Yep. Daniel [GM] (00:58:45): ChaCha, you see ... There aren't really like the centipedes here. They tend to gather near a more dense populations. You're not really sure that you understand reason why, just that you noticed that before. But you think that you can see on the far end of this tunnel, a figure that's vague. It's humanoid, but blurred and translucent. And it's a type of figure you've seen before. They've almost never actually talked to you or interacted with you, but they're there. Daniel [GM] (00:59:31): And you actually see, for a moment, in that part of the tunnel, one of those snake creatures, the serpents with the stretched out human faces coming in and this translucent figure turns and makes something that's not really sound, but with your senses, you can perceive, it's something like a growl, and that snake figure bows its head and slithers backwards out of the room. Alex [ChaCha] (01:00:10): Wait, ChaCha just found out the exit. Daniel [GM] (01:00:11): Well, no, it's a half face thing. So coming in and out. There's no actual door. Alex [ChaCha] (01:00:18): Okay. I was just like- Daniel [GM] (01:00:18): It's whether or not they phase into existence where you are. Stace [Nix] (01:00:22): I think ChaCha is going to just go talk to translucent guy. That sounds safe. Daniel [GM] (01:00:29): Okay. So ChaCha goes over. What are you going to say to translucent guy, or gal, or person? Alex [ChaCha] (01:00:38): However they identify, I think the number one concern in ChaCha's mind is, how do you get the snakes to go away? They're dicks. I don't like snakes. Stace [Nix] (01:00:49): Oh. Alex [ChaCha] (01:00:49): Nix's a snake, but she's not a dick. Daniel [GM] (01:00:54): The voice that comes out of this creature is deep and [inaudible 01:01:01]. It's not unlike buddy cop, but it's more echo-y and distant. And it says, [inaudible 01:01:12]. Alex [ChaCha] (01:01:14): Are you coming to help us get out of the cave or are you going to kill us all? Daniel [GM] (01:01:19): Neither. We're here to watch what you do. Alex [ChaCha] (01:01:23): My plan was to go back up or go swimming. Swimming seems easier. Daniel [GM] (01:01:28): Both are valid choices. I'm curious which one you will take. We've ... I've been watching you for a long time, ChaCha. Alex [ChaCha] (01:01:41): Seen you a couple of times, but you never played like the other ones. You were always over there. Daniel [GM] (01:01:48): Because it's not a game. Alex [ChaCha] (01:01:50): You know, I have to change the world, but I don't know how to free all the echoes. So I just have to save this person from bees. Daniel [GM] (01:01:59): Don't worry about the echoes, ChaCha. It's too late for you to help. Alex [ChaCha] (01:02:08): Nothing's too late to help. I mean, we got a steak now. Daniel [GM] (01:02:11): I understand that you've had a hard life, ChaCha, that you haven't always had consistency among our kind. But I would hope that you would consider being a bit more careful in who you trust. Alex [ChaCha] (01:02:33): Are you talking about buddy cop? Because he's my best friend. And unless you're my best friend, he's going to win. Daniel [GM] (01:02:40): That is what we're afraid of. And the figure fades away from your view. And that's where we'll end this episode. Alex [ChaCha] (01:02:50): Now we have season two of buddy cop. Buddy cop's old partner. Marietta [Atalia] (01:02:55): Horror politics. [inaudible 01:02:58] politics. Or rower politics. Hororor. Alex [ChaCha] (01:03:00): Hororararar. Marietta [Atalia] (01:03:00): Just start saying, hrr. Hrr. Alex [ChaCha] (01:03:03): Horororor. Marietta [Atalia] (01:03:06): Hororor. Daniel [GM] (01:03:13): Nix, anything that stuck out about this episode for you and Nix. Stace [Nix] (01:03:17): Oh, fuck yeah. Gullibly going 150 feet slash 50 meters down a raging river through a tunnel. That's badass. And the fact that it was difficult was really cool because Nix is pretty strong, so I was really counting my might points there at the end. And I was concerned that I would have to unhook or cut the rope or something and not go back up. So it was successful, which was cool, but I felt like it was a situation with some definite uncertainty. And I enjoyed that. Daniel [GM] (01:03:52): Very cool. So we have a segment that we do each week called player intrusions, and that's where we offer you the listener, an XP to check out something that we think you would absolutely dig. This week it is Marietta's turn. Marietta, what would you offer our listeners an XP to check out? Marietta [Atalia] (01:04:11): Oh man. I'm so glad you asked Daniel. I would say the television show Hannibal, which is now on Netflix. It's a wonderful piece of cinematic magnificence. I don't know how else to describe it. So it was an NBC show that I think the final season was about five years ago now. It pushed all of the limits of what can be on cable television, really hard. NBC was like, "Oh man, this isn't netting us any profit" and Hannibal was like, "Oh boy, but we have such a story to tell." And it's the same guy who did Firefly. I'm pretty sure. Let me double check that. Daniel [GM] (01:04:54): Joss Whedon. Stace [Nix] (01:04:54): You have my attention. Sampson [Dili] (01:04:56): Hannibal was with Joss Whedon? Daniel [GM] (01:04:58): Can't be Joss Whedon. Sampson [Dili] (01:04:59): That'd be wild. Unless it's like a co-writer. Stace [Nix] (01:05:02): No. Sampson [Dili] (01:05:02): Of Firefly. Stace [Nix] (01:05:02): Who made it? Marietta [Atalia] (01:05:02): It's Bryan Fuller. No, he's the Pushing Daisies dude. Daniel [GM] (01:05:05): Bryan Fuller! Marietta [Atalia] (01:05:06): It's Bryan Fuller. It's fucking Bryan Fuller my dudes. He's done so many things. Yes. And they're all wonderful. They're all really ... He has this curse where it's really fucking great. And then they're like, "Oh, this is too nuanced for us. We're going to just cancel that." Oh, it's so frustrating. Marietta [Atalia] (01:05:24): But there are three seasons of Hannibal. It stars Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal and Hugh Dancy as Will Graham. And it is super nuanced. It's very like film noir, I would say. The aesthetic is very cohesive. The cinematography in this television show is just phenomenal. I am so impressed with NBC for letting it go as far as it did. And they really took it all the way. The nuance and the psychology behind it and the behavior ... And Mads Mikkelsen is so spooky. Marietta [Atalia] (01:05:56): And then by season three, you've got some really good sexual tension underneath there. Super dark themes. Daniel, you would love it. You should definitely check it out. It was definitely when it ... I started watching right as season two started and fell absolutely in love with it. And I've always loved Mads Mikkelsen. The first time I saw him in Casino Royale, I was like, who is this villain? Amazing. I don't know. It's a slow burn, I would say, but it's very worth it. And the portrayal of it is dark, but it's not straight horror. I would say it's more thriller. Alex [ChaCha] (01:06:33): Psychological? Marietta [Atalia] (01:06:35): Yes. Psychological thriller. If you like Guillermo Del Toro stuff or anything that kind of toes the line, this is definitely it. I don't know. It's really cool. Bryan Fuller did an amazing ... Anything he does, I think, is really amazing. So definitely check it out. Daniel, I want you to check it out, but I also don't want you to, because you really don't need any ideas. You come up with them just fine on your own. But I absolutely love Hannibal so much. If you love Hannibal too, tell me about it. Check it out. It's a wonderful piece of film. Hell yeah. Alex [ChaCha] (01:07:16): Only content warning I can think of is gore, which is surprising. Marietta [Atalia] (01:07:21): Yeah, there's a lot of gore. There's a lot of it and that's one of the things that NBC actually got a lot of flack for when it was airing. Like, wow, that's over the line. And they would take some strange argument to make it stand. So anyways. Stace [Nix] (01:07:38): Well, a lot of modern crime TVs are like, "You know, what's a good plot point? Sexual violence." And so far from what I've watched in Hannibal, it's not like, "We're going to use this as a plot point to develop a character." The side-eye I give TV shows when that's their choice ... Marietta [Atalia] (01:07:57): Yeah, that's like Game of Thrones, season, what was it? Seven or something? I was like, "Wow, this is completely unnecessary for plot development, but okay." Cool. Good job. Daniel [GM] (01:08:06): Yeah. Marietta [Atalia] (01:08:06): Congratulations. No, I think Hannibal's great. Daniel [GM] (01:08:10): So he apparently also did the original American Gods seasons as well as Dead Like Me, which is another cult favorite of mine. Alex [ChaCha] (01:08:19): I really liked Dead Like Me. Marietta [Atalia] (01:08:20): Yeah. Bryan Fuller does some really great stuff. I love Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal because there's so much going on under the surface there, but he's playing the game to the very end. It's just ... Please tweet me about it. I know I'm not a good Twitter lady, but if you like Hannibal, I want to talk about Hannibal. Period. It's amazing. I love it. Daniel [GM] (01:08:46): Very cool. Well, Marietta, if people wanted to reach out to us as a podcast and tell us what they think about Hannibal or the podcast itself. How would they do that? Marietta [Atalia] (01:08:56): Oh, man. Well, first they should just go to our website because all this information is there and our website is explorerswanted.fm. And there you will find links to our Twitter, which is @ExplorersWanted, or our Facebook, which is Explorers Wanted Podcast, or our Instagram, which is @explorerswantedpodcast. And they would know that we have a Patreon, which we mentioned earlier, and you can back us there. Marietta [Atalia] (01:09:18): We're hoping to grow that somewhat. If you are able to support us. I know these are very strange times in the world, but we would love to produce more content in the future ... would be a dream. And then if you really want to hang out with us and you want to talk to us, the best way is our Discord. We love our Discord. We love hanging out in there. We've got some great people in there that we're able to communicate with on the regular. Marietta [Atalia] (01:09:39): It's just nice. It feels like we're really growing a community at this point. We would love you to come and be a part of it because it just feels good. We're so lonely and desperate, please. Yeah. Please. Alex [ChaCha] (01:09:53): Please love us. Stace [Nix] (01:09:54): Also, we need help. If you think we know what's going on, we don't. Marietta [Atalia] (01:09:58): Yeah, there is a specific channel on the Discord that's for spoilers, and we want all of your theories, man. Comment in there after you listen to the most recent episode, tell us what you think. What's going to happen? What should we do? What did we do wrong? Please tell me in particular. Stace [Nix] (01:10:12): Yeah, what would you have done. Marietta [Atalia] (01:10:14): Clearly using effort earlier on in the episode, I understand. Stace [Nix] (01:10:18): If you're like, wait, you record two months ahead. How could we possibly help you? Trust me. Marietta [Atalia] (01:10:24): Yeah, we still don't know. Stace [Nix] (01:10:25): You can help us. Yeah, we don't. Marietta [Atalia] (01:10:27): We still don't know. Alex [ChaCha] (01:10:27): It helps. Marietta [Atalia] (01:10:27): I don't know. Daniel [GM] (01:10:27): The clues are all there. Sampson [Dili] (01:10:34): I have a pretty solid theory that I think I am right, but ... Stace [Nix] (01:10:37): Well, why don't you share it at the spoilers channel, Samson? Sampson [Dili] (01:10:43): Because it involves knowledge that hasn't been published yet. Marietta [Atalia] (01:10:47): That's fair. Stace [Nix] (01:10:49): Oh, we really need to start the secret channel without Daniel so we conspire. Marietta [Atalia] (01:10:53): We should. Stace [Nix] (01:10:54): Hang out with us in our discord. Daniel [GM] (01:10:58): Yes, come hang out with us. It is a lot of fun. We love chatting with you all. Thanks to all who have come because we're having a lot of fun getting to know you and sharing memes with you and all sorts of other fun stuff. If you want to help the podcast, if you enjoy what you heard today, asides obviously supporting us on Patreon, one of the best things that you could do for us is tell a friend. Tell them what you liked about the show, why they should listen to it. The second best thing you could do for us is to leave us a five-star rating and review on the podcast directory, particularly Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Podchaser. Those would make a huge impact for us, especially if it's a written review. Thank you for those of you who have given us those five star ratings, and especially those of you have given us reviews. Makes a big difference in people looking to find us. Daniel [GM] (01:11:54): I mentioned those three avenues. Obviously, there are more avenues than that, but those are the only three avenues that we can easily track ourselves. So it's really the only way we can see what's happening and we'd love your attention. So we'd love to be able to see when you're giving us those reviews. If you didn't like the podcast, if you just thought it was meh, or anything like that. Well, then I have a question for you. Do you remember back in elementary school? Remember playing heads up seven up? When you put your head down at your desk, stuck your thumb up and waited for someone to either touch your thumb or not? When you press your eyes down against your arm, what did you see? Was it just darkness? Did you see flashes of color or did you see a tunnel within the dark? Ebon on ebon? Did you stare into that tunnel? Did you ever imagine yourself falling? Just descending in silence in eternal motion? If so, you're the closest to the truth you've ever been. Daniel [GM] (01:13:11): If you want to reach out to us individually on social media, you can do so. You can find me on Twitter @andrlik, A N D R L I K. Stace [Nix] (01:13:20): You find me on Twitter @StaceWindu. Sampson [Dili] (01:13:23): You can summon me @SlamPotato. Alex [ChaCha] (01:13:25): I want you to tweet me with no context a picture of a possum @ realteaunicorn. Marietta [Atalia] (01:13:31): And I want you to tell me all about Hannibal and how I should be using Twitter @imonahike. Daniel [GM] (01:13:38): Thank you all. We will be back next week as we will be for every week in the foreseeable future. Have a good night or day or whenever you are listening to this, and bye. Marietta [Atalia] (01:13:47): Bye. Stace [Nix] (01:13:47): Bye. Alex [ChaCha] (01:13:47): Bye. Sampson [Dili] (01:13:47): Bye.
