Why

1:30

hello

1:31

glass cannon? Nish. Welcome

1:33

back to the game garage, a

1:36

show I host from my actual

1:38

garage. this is

1:40

a show where we play table top role

1:42

playing games with some of our favorite

1:44

people this week

1:46

and the previous weeks We are playing

1:49

grips. The very

1:51

crunchy and you can do

1:53

anything game

1:56

from Steve Jackson Games. And

1:58

with me as I've had the two previous sessions,

2:01

I have the incredible publisher of

2:03

Pieso. Mister Eric Mona.

2:06

That's me. Hi. Hi.

2:09

I've got my best pal

2:11

who lives five minutes from me. our

2:13

children play together. He's

2:15

also a talented producer, mister Clinton

2:18

Trucks. Hey,

2:19

everybody.

2:20

And I have who the

2:22

man who is commonly known as the babyface

2:24

of the glass cannon. Mister

2:26

Matthew Capa de Casa. Hello?

2:29

Hello. So

2:33

I have embarked in three days

2:35

to kind of get in the mood for our

2:37

game, which is set in the fourteenth century

2:40

and medieval England. How is

2:42

everybody else doing on hygiene this morning?

2:46

I

2:46

might have invested a lot of those reasons.

2:49

sense. You haven't bathed in order yeah.

2:51

For not well, you're a father, so

2:53

it makes sense that you haven't bathed. Do you haven't had

2:55

a moment? What were you saying, Clint?

2:58

I was

2:58

gonna say if we're setting a three day base level,

3:00

I think my hedging is pretty great. Yeah.

3:03

Yeah. I'm

3:04

like an aristocrat. I had to shower yesterday.

3:06

So Same.

3:08

Wait. I wanna know. So

3:10

my wife, like, doesn't I hope

3:12

she doesn't get mad at me for revealing

3:14

this. She just doesn't shower every

3:16

day, and I usually

3:19

shower every day.

3:21

Like, I feel like it's like a necessity.

3:25

I

3:25

mean, you have to feel about that.

3:28

You're

3:28

a fluvia. You have to Yeah.

3:31

I I love how you put that. You have to slough off

3:33

your effluvia effluvia. It

3:36

was gonna say almost beautiful but

3:38

I think effluvia is probably the better choice. Better.

3:40

Yeah. Can we make a note to

3:43

use that for future t shirt?

3:45

Sloth

3:48

off your effluvia with the glass

3:50

cannon. back. Before before the pandemic,

3:53

I was I every day. You gotta shower

3:55

every single day, but Oh,

3:57

I see. little different now. There's things I

3:59

said I'd never do that I now do regularly,

4:01

like wear

4:02

sweatpants. You know, like, they're

4:04

all opening new doors during the pandemic,

4:07

I Right.

4:07

We're learning about ourselves and

4:10

what we're willing to put up with, I think, in

4:12

so many ways. Now, I will

4:14

say, I I have done research you know, our

4:16

game is realistic as

4:18

realistic as we can make it. I wanna

4:20

remind everybody that we are not historians

4:22

or anthropological scientists some

4:24

of the things that we say in this

4:26

game even though it's about history and we're

4:28

trying to be realistic might be

4:31

inaccurate. So that's Arcavia.

4:33

But I have done some research. So I found

4:35

out that medieval people washed

4:38

maybe a little bit more regularly than you

4:40

think. Like, I guess, Maybe

4:42

the myth is that they just never washed

4:44

at all, which I don't think would

4:46

be humanly possible. Like at a

4:48

certain point, your effluvia would

4:50

hit max levels and you

4:52

just that people wouldn't be able to see your

4:54

face. So it looks like they would wash

4:56

off in a stream or some of

4:58

them actually had people don't know this.

5:00

Some of them actually had running water in

5:02

their in their houses if they lived in

5:04

the city. They had actual,

5:07

like, spigots coming into their houses. So

5:09

they would wash off A, you

5:11

know, what? Maybe, like, once a

5:13

week or something like that, which is more than I

5:15

thought that they did. Me

5:16

too.

5:18

I I hesitate to digress, but

5:20

this is so fresh in my mind. Yeah.

5:22

You guys been watching the television show

5:24

alone. Are you familiar with

5:26

it? No. You're a huge

5:28

fan of alone. I love alone,

5:30

guys. I love the show alone. Where they

5:32

they just drop people off in the middle

5:34

of, like like, far Canada.

5:37

they make them live alone for, like, a hundred days.

5:40

And it's fascinating to watch.

5:42

I feel

5:42

like I've heard of naked and alone.

5:44

Is this a sense naked and naked clothes

5:46

on? Nathan and Oh, naked and afraid.

5:48

Oh, of course. Naked

5:50

and afraid brings its own dangers, obviously.

5:53

Oh, yeah. Actually, they have Your genitals

5:55

are in a huge danger and naked and

5:57

afraid. I I only bring this up

5:59

because on the recent

5:59

season of alone, there

6:01

is one man who clearly

6:03

just decided to never wash anything

6:05

ever. and

6:06

he is

6:07

so dirty. And I met because he's

6:09

alone. I bet he thinks all the other contestants

6:11

are as dirty as he is. but

6:13

that all clearly aren't going in

6:15

the lake and he's feeding the stars. And

6:18

he gets so increasingly fucking

6:20

fluffy. It's

6:22

bonkers. He

6:24

needs to sloth off his effluvia, man.

6:26

It really does. that's

6:29

gonna be really embarrassing for him when all the

6:31

episodes come as comes out. And he's like,

6:33

wait. Everybody else was watching That's

6:36

exactly what I thought. No.

6:37

And I mean, like, that kind of stink a

6:39

hundred days. You're you're not bathing. Like, it's

6:41

gonna take quite a few

6:43

showers and quite a few, like, scourings

6:46

of your in to actually not smell

6:48

anymore. When

6:49

they finally give up and they get

6:51

picked up by a helicopter or speedboat

6:53

to take them back to civilization, all

6:55

I can

6:55

think is that people have to share the

6:58

cabin of that fucking I'm

7:00

going for the Open Top speedboat. over

7:03

the influenced helicopter. There's

7:05

literally no escape. You can at least jump into

7:07

the river or something if it gets too bad in your in

7:09

the boat.

7:10

I mean, there's a lot of alone, guys. there

7:12

was a period of time during the early pandemic

7:14

days where, like, I I ran out of deodorant

7:16

and, like, you couldn't get my deal. Like, it was even the

7:18

supply chain, whatever. I didn't have deodorant.

7:20

And I was like, well, no one's telling me.

7:22

But and then, like, I finally got some new

7:24

deodorant. And it took a while to make, like,

7:26

not to get too personal, but to before I

7:28

smelled like myself again.

7:30

To re smell your system.

7:32

Yeah. Hygiene is an important question.

7:35

Our our game is set in a realistic

7:38

fourteenth century and it's been

7:40

inspired or sort of informed by

7:42

different books that I've read such as this

7:44

one. in the wake of the plague by

7:46

Norman Kantor. So,

7:48

you know, hygiene might come

7:50

into play. I do wanna

7:52

say it's been really interesting just in the first

7:54

two episodes that we did because, you know,

7:56

in other role playing games, you sort of

7:58

are heroic and you sort

8:00

of have a victory condition for

8:02

your party that you can sort of

8:05

achieve. You know, you can get the dragon's

8:07

treasure, you can solve the Cthulhu mystery,

8:09

you might go insane, but you solve

8:11

what's going on. Whereas in this game

8:13

we're playing, it's a little bit more

8:15

like real life where you're just a human

8:18

and then horrible shit

8:20

happens to you and you either survive

8:22

it or you don't. But

8:24

I've been really impressed by how you guys

8:26

have kind of turned

8:28

it into a story that you can win.

8:30

So Well, the

8:34

inexorable march of time is

8:36

making it much more

8:37

difficult. As if we're

8:39

diving in, I will tell you that I think I

8:41

have the only character who had to make aging

8:43

roles for this particular Yes.

8:46

Clinton Trucks, you were playing Tal

8:48

Roberts. Tal

8:50

Roberts started as a field hand for

8:52

our family. How is

8:54

tall Robert doing ten years later

8:56

since the French invasion, which he

8:58

survived?

8:59

Poorly, is the answer. I

9:01

I don't know what his circumstances have

9:04

been, but

9:04

the years have weighed heavy on tall,

9:07

Robert. He is

9:09

now fifty five and using

9:11

group's aging roles, he had to begin making aging

9:13

roles at age fifty. So I

9:15

made five years of aging roles and

9:17

his stats took a

9:19

recipitous hint. Okay.

9:21

What's he looking like now?

9:23

So he I originally had ten

9:26

in all stats. the

9:27

default. And

9:28

he now has a strength of nine,

9:30

a decks of seven, an IQ

9:33

of eight, he got doubled. Wait,

9:35

how many points of IQUITY lose?

9:38

Two.

9:39

That's so insulting that

9:41

they think people who are fifty five

9:43

lose points of IQ. Yeah.

9:46

Great. you like diminishing. Yeah.

9:48

It's it's so ages. What

9:50

can I also say that I think if

9:53

he'd drop down to seven, he'd be considered

9:55

mentally impaired. No.

9:57

Is that true? I think so. I think

9:59

I

9:59

think seven is where you're gonna be who I like

10:02

it. Alright,

10:03

Clinton. I mean, you better play

10:05

him a little dumber this time.

10:07

didn't

10:07

play them smart babies. So we'll

10:09

see how it goes. Okay.

10:12

What else is going on with them? Anything

10:14

else? Well, Tall Robert,

10:16

I'm gonna say, with his loss of stats,

10:18

his loss of little height. It was

10:20

five eleven, making him when the

10:22

tallest men wordsmith, he's now

10:24

only five ten. He's less taller.

10:27

Yeah. So

10:27

he's a little stupid now. I mean, that's well,

10:29

he's a little stupid and he's a little stooped.

10:32

He

10:32

he asked stupid and stooped. Oh,

10:34

boy. Okay.

10:35

And he previously had a

10:37

reputation, not to be fuck

10:39

with. And I've

10:40

removed it because I think he's very

10:42

fuck withable right now. Okay.

10:46

Great. I can't wait to see how

10:48

he can those the events of today's

10:50

session. Now let's talk to Matthew.

10:52

Matthew, you were previously playing

10:54

Wilkie. Wilkie, if you

10:56

recall listeners. he

10:58

ran the family businesses into the

11:00

ground. This group started like

11:02

three different family businesses

11:04

during the first session Wilkie

11:07

ruined them all with terrible

11:09

roles. He was the head of the

11:11

family, the surviving member of the family,

11:13

but you're not playing Wilkie's about

11:15

forty nine now. Yes.

11:17

You're not playing Wilke though. You've chosen

11:19

to move to a different character because Wilke

11:21

is way over the hill. He's way too old

11:23

now. Right? Right too old. It's at the edge of

11:25

the cliff. I Yes. I

11:27

was saved because I randomly chose to

11:29

to decide that Wilke was nineteen in the first

11:31

the first session.

11:33

which saved him from having to roll in the aging mills.

11:35

But however, and we can work this out.

11:37

I think we should assume that Wilke is

11:39

still alive, but

11:40

in firm, and

11:41

unable to speak.

11:43

Yes. So we talked about this a little

11:45

before the show. You have a reason.

11:48

What has happened to Wilke, do we

11:50

think? Rilke, when,

11:52

you know, working air

11:54

quotes in the field was kicked in

11:56

the head by a horse. Right.

11:59

and is now

11:59

bedridden and cared

12:02

for by his new wife,

12:04

Agnes the younger from Chichester.

12:07

Agnes from Chichester, which we remember

12:09

will he wed in the last

12:11

episode. And Agnes,

12:13

what is she good at her? What what are some

12:15

things we should know about her?

12:17

the Agnes, we should know, first of all,

12:19

that she is currently twenty

12:21

five. Mhmm. Which means they wed when she

12:23

was fifteen, which is the know,

12:26

weird. But Historically accurate.

12:28

Maybe we make our twenty eight just so people

12:30

aren't skived out. There we

12:32

go. but

12:34

we can we can also point to the

12:36

fact that Wilkie at the time

12:38

had reign reignited his

12:40

affair with the with Matilda.

12:43

With with the at

12:45

one point, the miller's wife and then and then

12:47

when the miller began longer the miller she

12:49

was somebody else's wife who's now

12:51

forgetting. But that in the final

12:53

moments of them, in the at the height of the

12:55

French invasion, we're working in

12:57

Matilda. That each other again in the k in

13:00

the the cave. So -- --

13:02

cave. That said,

13:04

Agnes, the younger. He's now long,

13:06

suffering, twenty eight year old wife has

13:08

three children. And she is

13:10

good at the following things. Pottery --

13:12

Mhmm. -- which was

13:14

she's much better than Mokey ever was, but it was also a strength

13:16

of Bokey's. She's also good at

13:18

current affairs.

13:19

hi and

13:21

she has some area knowledge

13:23

and some first aid, which I imagine comes

13:26

in handy because she is caring

13:28

for Wilky. who still maintains his

13:30

grip as the head of the family even though he's

13:32

bedridden in Canopy.

13:33

Excellent. Her name is

13:35

like gossip. Like she's a gossip. in

13:38

which I mean, let's

13:40

remember the town criers,

13:42

c anon, miss Anne of

13:44

Brittany,

13:45

and Raynard. I

13:47

don't think you might really be paying attention.

13:49

Forget suicide. It must be a mine.

13:51

Shit. Do do not forget the

13:53

three town priors of Portsmouth. Excellent.

13:55

I can't wait to see Agnes in action.

13:57

I can't wait to see those pottery rolls,

14:00

man. Oh,

14:00

man. It's gonna be so torrid.

14:03

Roll

14:03

a crib baby. Okay.

14:06

So finally, Eric, your

14:08

character, William, heroically

14:11

died and a burning cathedral

14:13

last time saving his family and

14:16

a bunch of other children

14:18

and and and innocence, you know, women

14:20

and children who had been hiding out of

14:22

the cathedral, William

14:24

saved a bunch of them and died in the

14:26

process. So William as a hero, you are

14:28

now playing his son,

14:30

how old was his son when William

14:32

saved him from the burning church?

14:34

He was fifteen years old at

14:36

that time. Okay. They're pretty much a full

14:38

grown man, so it's a little embarrassing. He didn't save

14:40

himself if I missed, but

14:42

but no. He's dead. Save him.

14:44

So now he's twenty five. Yep.

14:46

And his name is

14:49

Theodrick. Right? Yes. Theodrick,

14:51

son of William, Santa

14:54

Bertramo of the cave. Yes.

14:57

In third generation. Theodrick,

15:00

what what kind yeah. You're already in your

15:02

third generation Congratulations on that.

15:04

Thank you. Thank you. We we come from

15:06

a second family. It's only

15:08

been about thirty years. They're just

15:10

dying off like flies. it is

15:12

in the middle ages. Yes. So what

15:14

are some things that Theodrick is good

15:16

at? Well, Theodrick

15:18

is okay

15:21

at farming, so he helps out still on

15:23

what's left of the family farm. He's

15:25

even better at fishing,

15:27

which is something he never really

15:29

shared with his family. That's just like a personal he just

15:31

likes to go, the quietude, the ripples,

15:33

the the river. But

15:36

probably the best skills that

15:38

he has are public

15:40

speaking and singing. In

15:42

fact, often at the

15:44

town square, he'll pull up a

15:46

little box in and preach the

15:48

doctrine of the

15:50

burgeoning one day soon, perhaps to

15:52

be a saint, William, Savior

15:54

of Portsmouth Town, son

15:57

of Bertram of the cave.

15:59

And

15:59

he's got a bit of a

16:02

soft voice, but when he sings,

16:04

it's not that wires of angels

16:06

themselves erupt from the

16:08

heavens, and everyone stands in

16:10

thrall of his songs of the

16:12

past. And, yeah, he's

16:14

a bit of a public relations man

16:16

when it comes to the family.

16:18

I think that You

16:21

know, he he has

16:23

fans. I think that people in Port

16:25

Smith listen to the songs they believe

16:27

in Well, it's not it's not a

16:29

lie. William was a hero.

16:31

So -- Absolutely. -- they remember it.

16:33

It's only ten years later, and I think

16:35

that, you know, Thedrick

16:37

can use some of that to his advantage

16:39

or or make use of that sort

16:41

of that sort of

16:43

angle that he has there. Are

16:45

we ready to begin? Are we ready to put

16:47

these characters back in their time

16:49

and place? Yes. What could

16:51

go wrong? I would

16:53

like to point out for the listeners just to remind

16:56

everyone, Jared keeps bringing up this book about

16:58

the plague and we hadn't encountered plague yet.

17:00

I know. March

17:03

thirteen forty nine. A

17:05

cold winter is finally ended and

17:07

sunlight breaks through the clouds melting

17:10

the snow. Port Smith has been

17:12

rebuilt after the devastating raids

17:14

by the French a decade ago.

17:16

The harbor is thriving once again.

17:18

There is no sign of the burning and slaughter

17:21

that occurred here, but the memory

17:23

of it still remains quite

17:25

fresh. on this bright

17:27

march day, what is your

17:29

character doing? And let's start with less

17:32

tall Robert.

17:34

So less tall Robert

17:36

was a man of ambition ten years

17:38

ago. It was a field

17:39

handed thought maybe he would make something of

17:42

himself. find ourselves

17:44

in the year thirteen forty nine where he's still

17:46

very much a field hand. If anything,

17:49

just feeling worse fields. the

17:53

Yeah. So probably still working for

17:55

the family that he was originally

17:57

working for. So I imagine he works

17:59

the fields that

18:00

atherogenic and agneses,

18:03

the plots that

18:04

they inherited. Right.

18:06

So he is

18:08

he is a a freeman like

18:10

they are, but he has a a

18:12

lesser position than them. And I think, yeah, he's

18:14

working for Agnes, really, or

18:17

Wielke, who's still the head of the family, Agnes -- Sure.

18:19

-- his voice. Right?

18:22

Okay. So yeah. I

18:24

mean, let's just see how it's going.

18:26

You know? there are always shores

18:28

year round to to,

18:30

you know, bring in a harvest and

18:32

and and sort of cultivate it and bring it

18:34

to fruition. So Perhaps

18:36

some planting is going on now.

18:38

I know very little about agriculture,

18:41

but I think I think of the spring

18:43

some planting goes on and then

18:45

that the crops grow during the summer, and then

18:47

they are harvested at the end of the summer. So

18:50

why don't you tell me how the planting

18:52

is going less tall,

18:54

Robert. Alright. I will

18:56

make a farming role. My

18:58

farming is not as good as it

19:00

once was. but

19:02

I'm rolling through a ten. Oh,

19:04

well, what do

19:05

you know? I rolled a five. So not

19:07

a

19:07

critic, but the best

19:10

our best hour ever could hope for.

19:12

Alright. On your patch of land, which I

19:14

I think at one point, you guys kind of

19:16

increased it and improved it quite a bit.

19:19

That was sort of business that you

19:21

didn't lose to Wilke's shenanigans.

19:23

And I think the planting is

19:25

going really well this year.

19:28

And I, you know, III wouldn't give yourself too little

19:30

credit. Maybe less tall Robert

19:32

with his with his age,

19:35

with his, you know, experience,

19:37

he's sort of leading the other field hands in

19:39

the activity and taking

19:41

more of a managerial position.

19:44

So that's going really well. You guys

19:46

have plenty food. How

19:48

is Agnes doing? What is she up to

19:50

on this bright March day?

19:53

Agnes has to

19:55

take care of the house Take care

19:57

of Wilke, who as we know is in burn, and

19:59

take care of

19:59

their three children ages

20:01

six, four, and one. And

20:04

Also upon hearing about

20:06

the businesses that this family used to

20:08

have before her blasphemous, adulterers,

20:11

profligate husband ran them into the ground,

20:15

She has she

20:17

has endeavored to start a pottery

20:19

business and she has told everyone

20:21

in the family that Wilkie has

20:23

commanded it as head of the family. She, of

20:25

course, is the only conduit

20:27

to Wilkie, so

20:29

make that what you will. And so she, I think, is

20:31

starting to jumpstart her

20:33

basically, her pottery store is that we can

20:35

take the market.

20:37

Well, let's see how good product is with

20:39

a pottery roll.

20:41

Okay. Here we

20:43

go. Okay.

20:45

She rolled a seven under fourteen.

20:47

So Okay.

20:48

Excellent. So her wares are are

20:50

really high quality. I

20:53

would say with that kind of role, like

20:55

very solid, very excellent pottery

20:57

that she has to sell.

20:59

But of course, selling is a whole

21:01

other story. So we need

21:03

to kinda check her salesmanship.

21:05

Now she doesn't have that as a skill.

21:08

So we need to kind of look

21:10

at you know, IQ

21:13

minus, you know, with a with a negative

21:15

modifier to see to see

21:17

how she does you

21:19

know, without without having the skill

21:21

per se,

21:22

would she necessarily be the salesperson,

21:24

Jared? I I don't know if someone

21:26

wants Or can

21:27

or can bully someone in the family into

21:29

doing the sales force? Interesting.

21:32

Who might she talk

21:34

to? Well,

21:36

before I decide that,

21:38

I'll ask everyone what their IQs are.

21:40

you

21:43

Ten.

21:45

the eight.

21:46

Maybe maybe Lincoln's the person who's

21:48

in the town square with groups a

21:50

group crowd around him. Well,

21:53

you have as a result of this. You have public speaking. Right?

21:56

I do. Yeah. Yeah. Very

21:58

much so. Maybe

21:59

she sends your foot to be the face of

22:02

the pottery business to do the

22:04

selling. I mean, actually, I have a twelve

22:06

IQ. I'm the smartest

22:07

of all of you, but I

22:10

don't have

22:11

that public speak. So maybe she maybe she

22:13

leans on the ofer.

22:15

The theatric. Yeah. Yeah.

22:18

Yes. You can lean on

22:20

on him And if he's willing to

22:22

do it, Theodore, does that sound like

22:24

something Theodore would get involved with?

22:26

She's a bit secular. and

22:28

nature, but I'll get you're gonna try. Is

22:31

there not a

22:31

bit of a divine in my pottery?

22:34

Look

22:34

at this pot. Look

22:36

at this look at this bars. I

22:39

mean, I

22:39

would like dimensions. Sure.

22:42

Yeah. I could I could give it a

22:44

try. Very good.

22:46

Listen. When I talk about father

22:47

and grandfather, perhaps they'll listen when

22:49

I talk about poetry.

22:51

Excellent. So,

22:54

Agnes, will you be accompanying theater,

22:57

two town in order to

23:00

to see oversee him? Or will you let

23:02

Theodore do his thing? Take your pottery and do

23:04

his thing? I think I'll accompany

23:05

him to town. I think

23:07

agnosed, doesn't trust anybody any of the men in

23:09

this family.

23:10

Very good. And so soon you're in

23:12

the town square of

23:15

Port Smith, And there are sailors from

23:18

all ports of call moving through the

23:20

city. There are it's a

23:22

it's a bustling place

23:24

once again after, you

23:26

know, years and years, it it kind

23:28

of lay sort of empty, and

23:30

everybody was sort of rebuilding. Burt

23:32

fields, Burt burnt

23:34

buildings,

23:35

but now it is back to its

23:37

old strength. And here in the town

23:39

square, you have let's

23:42

see. Let's

23:44

see.

23:44

So, like,

23:45

forty five people and

23:48

a pretty big number.

23:50

about forty five people are moving through the square

23:53

right now, and

23:55

I pass it over to Theodrick to

23:57

see how his

23:59

his public speaking goes and to

24:01

hear a little bit of it. Alright.

24:03

So, Theodryk gets like a like

24:05

a crate and he puts it down and

24:08

he sort of pulls it a

24:10

little distance away from the the current

24:12

events news criers. So

24:14

he's got to a captive audience of his

24:16

own. And with a surprisingly light

24:19

voice,

24:19

he sort of says, have

24:21

a piece got around and hear

24:23

a tale of my famous

24:26

family. And only a couple of

24:28

people. you know, or hearing him. So he finally just

24:33

and it's

24:34

like heaven itself opens

24:36

as his mouth opens

24:39

in it in

24:40

an angelic sound comes out.

24:42

And he

24:43

says, As

24:45

John, the Baptist paved

24:48

the way for more.

24:52

Bertramo, the cave showed

24:54

what was in store. Young

24:57

William. Young William

25:00

arrived on the scene.

25:01

with grandfather

25:03

and some mushrooms,

25:05

new fictions

25:06

were seen. And then out

25:08

of the corner of his eye, he sees

25:10

not no longer tall Robert

25:13

coming in, and he's he's

25:15

nervous about that, and and he sees

25:17

Agnes. And and finally, he sort of

25:19

changes his a little bit. And he said, oh,

25:21

so bring

25:22

family magic right

25:25

into your home with ant

25:27

agnes' pottery on

25:29

there.

25:29

alone. Any kind of points at the

25:31

the wares and is trying to pivot into

25:34

commercialism.

25:35

the Oh my god. Eric,

25:39

would you please have Theodore make

25:41

a singing role at

25:43

r a. Plus three. Oh, yeah.

25:46

Amazing. So I already

25:48

treated your totals. I got a

25:50

fifty fifteen total. A fifteen.

25:53

And what is your Third is your

25:55

singing? What is your singing if you add three

25:57

to it? sixteen. So

25:58

you made it

25:59

--

25:59

Oh. -- thank God for that plus three or

26:02

it might not have carried

26:04

over. Well, you know when I was crossing

26:06

genres, so can understand if I might have

26:08

lost him a little bit. Yeah. A

26:10

lot of people are are are

26:12

enraptured by your singing, a lot of people

26:14

are listening, And right

26:16

now, twelve people are

26:18

walking up to Agnes to buy

26:20

some pottery.

26:21

Not as

26:23

tall, Robert. Are you on the

26:25

scene as well? I am. I

26:27

imagine, you know, I'm no.

26:30

loading up unloading the wares,

26:32

loading them up on other people's carts if they

26:34

buy them handing over. Like, you

26:36

know, not

26:37

taking the money, but moving the goods.

26:40

I think

26:40

we still need to see how savvy

26:42

we are at pricing them at

26:44

kind of moving the product to these

26:47

twelve people. So someone should make

26:49

an IQ minus four role

26:51

for me since you don't have the default

26:53

for merchant. Oh, is that the skill

26:55

I'm looking for? I was looking I was

26:57

kind of I was kind of winging it

26:59

because I didn't have merchant in front of me, but

27:01

thank you Clinton trucks. IQ0

27:03

no. i q minus five

27:05

is the default for merchant. He

27:07

still makes someone You can still make

27:10

merchant. Look. Wait.

27:12

Hey. Henrik has already set you up for

27:14

success. So I'm actually gonna make I'm

27:16

actually gonna let his excellent singing

27:19

carry you through a little bit, and I

27:21

wanna only make it IQ minus

27:23

three right now. Alright. I

27:25

have

27:25

the highest IQ, so should I roll

27:28

it? Oh, I also have a history. Don't wanna be doing

27:30

poorly. Alright. I'll

27:32

try it. Okay. IQ

27:33

minus three. I would be rolling for

27:36

five. You don't wanna be doing it.

27:41

Okay.

27:41

I got a crack die. This is

27:43

a chance. Okay. I

27:46

I

27:46

rolled No. I got

27:48

A90 wait a minute. That is a Q

27:50

minus three. No. That is You made it.

27:53

you made it. So you're making great profits

27:56

today. People are buying

27:58

your wares and this has

28:00

opened up an opportunity for

28:02

you you are talking to them, Agnes, and you were learning things,

28:04

and you may now roll your current

28:06

affairs. Excellent. Another thing you

28:08

should know about Agnes,

28:11

she is very gullible. So

28:15

mechanically, she's gullible. So that might if

28:17

that comes into play, let me know. 0II

28:19

will. Yes. Absolutely. Okay.

28:23

She rolls and bales

28:25

on her current Oh, nope.

28:27

She

28:27

does not. She succeeds. She rolls a she

28:29

rolls a twelve and I have a third teen and

28:32

grandparents. Very good. She hears

28:35

from a good wife, a

28:37

woman who is sort of

28:39

kibitzing with her. that Chichester

28:42

has been touched by a

28:44

horrible sickness. You

28:46

guessed it?

28:47

You're covered there.

28:48

You said you're agnes? Yes.

28:50

I'm agnostic younger from Chichester.

28:53

Yes. Apparently, there's some

28:55

sort of illness

28:56

making its

28:58

way through Chichester. What

29:00

kind

29:00

of illness? It's

29:03

certainly

29:03

some sort of some

29:05

sort of punishment from God.

29:07

You know those people they

29:10

they don't keep the the the

29:12

worshipful ways. They're

29:15

profliggett. It's

29:17

not

29:17

I've been punished by God enough.

29:20

I have three children with my worthless

29:23

husband and no business to run. And

29:25

did that punishment enough for me, I'm

29:27

immune. Well,

29:30

I'd I'd be careful if I was you. I

29:32

wouldn't be I wouldn't be talking

29:34

or or hanging out

29:36

with anybody from Chichester right

29:38

now. I hear that there's even people

29:40

dying from the sickness.

29:42

dying.

29:44

Would you

29:45

you have hope mother and

29:47

father are okay?

29:49

Perhaps you

29:49

should go and see

29:52

them. Perhaps

29:52

I should

29:55

go and see them. No.

29:58

You certainly don't have to do

30:00

that. But I think that theodic

30:02

and do you share this with

30:04

theodic and not so tall, Robert?

30:06

Of course.

30:07

I am a bit of a gossip. I don't know how

30:09

I tell them immediately. Right.

30:11

And so once you've been informed of this,

30:14

Theodrick and Nazzotah, Robert,

30:17

You are able to talk about it with

30:19

other people who are visiting

30:21

moving through Port Smith. Here you are

30:23

in the town square with a sloped

30:25

roofs covered in draw the smell

30:27

of horses thick in the

30:29

air and you can you can talk to other

30:31

people or you can move

30:33

about what the next tasks that you think would would

30:35

make up your day or your

30:37

week? I think

30:38

less till Robert. When

30:40

in town hangs out with

30:43

the other know, stevidors

30:46

and the workers and, you know,

30:48

folks who

30:50

use their backs in their hands.

30:52

And if there's dealers about. I I

30:55

would ask if any of them have heard anything about

30:57

this illness since they

30:59

moved from port to port.

31:00

yeah, give me a roll on AD6

31:04

Alright?

31:06

three 3A3

31:07

Okay. And can you

31:10

let's see. Current affairs, what does

31:12

that default to? Let's

31:14

see. I'm looking it up

31:17

right now.

31:18

Let's see.

31:21

Current affairs defaults to

31:23

IQ minus four or research minus

31:26

four. because you've for four.

31:28

You you know what? Because

31:30

you've already sort of heard

31:32

the the news and you're just looking for

31:35

more information, I'll allow you to only take IQ

31:37

minus two. So try to roll under a

31:39

six. Alright.

31:45

56780

31:46

man. If

31:48

it had just been a straight IQ roll, you would

31:50

have made it. Yeah. Okay.

31:53

Well, you're talking to the sailors

31:55

and you

31:57

you noticed that one of them

31:59

is sort of like

32:02

hunched over, and he

32:04

he seems like kinda half asleep.

32:07

There's there his his face

32:09

looks like a a bit clammy

32:11

Maybe he's shivering a little bit

32:13

as he talks to

32:16

you. And he's

32:18

saying, I haven't heard of

32:20

any plague.

32:21

Maybe you

32:23

should

32:24

take a seat, sir. You look a bit peeking.

32:26

What are you saying? You

32:29

said, I have this this plague you're

32:31

talking about?

32:33

And occurred to

32:34

me, but he takes a

32:37

step backwards.

32:38

Why am where are you

32:41

going? No. As hell is

32:43

anybody here?

32:45

Well, that

32:47

that

32:47

may be the case. So perhaps avail yourself of

32:49

a glass of water. You are in

32:52

fact, do you have a do you have a

32:54

place here where one can engage

32:56

in pleasure. Get a

32:59

mug of ale and perhaps

33:02

become acquainted with some

33:04

young asses Do

33:06

you have the coin for such a

33:08

thing? Of course, I do.

33:10

Then follow me, and I'm gonna

33:12

lead him back into an alley.

33:14

I'm gonna beat the shit out and rob him.

33:18

What? He's a

33:19

lone shitty sailor. Who's

33:22

How did this happen? I'm

33:24

remembering less tall Robert as his

33:26

full callous piece of shit,

33:29

and I don't like this guy. Okay.

33:32

Well, it's gonna be pretty easy because

33:34

he is moving a little slowly. He

33:38

he he looks a little

33:40

sick. I can't believe you're doing

33:42

this, but players always throw a

33:44

curve ball at you. Let's

33:46

let's engage. I I don't think it's gonna be

33:48

action. I think that's the way.

33:51

Yeah. I'm

33:53

amazing. I'm so surprised too. Okay.

33:56

Let's take the opportunities as

33:58

they're presented. What skill are you

34:00

going to use to do this to him?

34:03

So

34:03

my best skill has

34:06

always been bra. I've simply never rolled

34:08

it before. So even at

34:10

my reduced capacity, my bra is

34:12

still tan.

34:13

Great. Go ahead and

34:16

brawl with him, but

34:18

actually because he is a

34:20

little sick, go ahead and

34:22

give yourself a plus two

34:24

to that

34:24

roll. Alright? So I'm rolling

34:26

for

34:26

twelve. Mhmm. 6789

34:28

ten. So beat

34:32

it by two. You succeed.

34:33

You easily beat him to a

34:36

pulp in the alley, and you find

34:38

that he is

34:40

in fact curing AAA purse full of

34:42

pennies. He is not rich by any

34:44

means, but he could probably have

34:46

afforded, you

34:48

know, a planter to

34:50

avail. I will take his

34:51

pennies, and then I will wander off to

34:54

a place.

34:56

that is a house of pleasure where I can have a drinker too. Just

34:59

disappearing to town. You need to give me A1D6

35:02

role again. A2A2

35:08

Okay. Very good. What

35:12

about Agnes? what do you

35:13

think she does after hearing this

35:15

news, after finishing her day of selling

35:17

here in the square?

35:19

I think she up

35:21

heads home.

35:22

Very good. She's

35:24

got three kids to take care of and a house

35:26

to maintain. Yeah. Maybe

35:28

she should roll a housekeeping.

35:30

Oh, does

35:31

she have that as a skill? She does indeed. Well, hold off on that

35:33

because I think a little time is going to

35:35

pass in a minute. And

35:38

I think we can kind of find out how

35:40

our house housekeeping goes over several

35:42

days. But I just wanna make sure,

35:44

a Theodic, if he has any business or

35:47

If he returns to the homestead to

35:49

engage in some sort of activity, theodrick, where

35:51

are you going or what are

35:53

you doing next? I think when following

35:55

the presentation, he is going to go back to

35:58

the farmhouse, which after all he still

35:59

lives there and still has some

36:02

obligation to

36:04

the family and increasingly strangers from out of town come and visit

36:06

and say things like, is this where that hero

36:08

William lived and he's got a,

36:11

you know

36:13

yeah. Absolutely. the

36:15

cave. Well then, I think that I'm gonna make

36:17

a little time pass. I'm gonna roll and

36:19

see how many

36:22

days pass here. And during that

36:24

time, I'd love for

36:26

Agnes to roll her housekeeping.

36:28

And for theatrics,

36:30

I think It's public speaking.

36:32

If you are kind of giving people

36:34

tours and talking to

36:36

them,

36:37

let's see here. so

36:39

seven days have passed

36:42

one

36:42

week.

36:47

Agnes fails her housekeeping role by

36:50

one. I made my public

36:52

statement. You

36:52

made your public speaking

36:55

role. So, Agnes it's impossible to keep

36:58

the house running smoothly and to

37:00

keep these kids taken care of

37:02

with the strangers

37:04

wandering through your

37:06

fields wandering up to your house. Theodrick is actually letting

37:09

them look inside of the

37:11

little two room house that

37:13

you have and it's really

37:16

yeah. It's really just your

37:18

ignorance. really nice right It's

37:20

cool. Oh,

37:22

welcome welcome to the farm. Get

37:25

them out of here. They stick they

37:27

stick it up the

37:30

place. They've come to make a love

37:32

offering. Man, look at them.

37:34

You have come

37:35

with a love

37:38

offering. an offering

37:40

or we came

37:41

to see the the home

37:43

of the hero. What is

37:45

a love offering? there's some sort of

37:47

token of appreciation that you can

37:49

It's like a sacrifice in the

37:51

good book,

37:51

you know? Fattened

37:54

calf. Perhaps a bib pottery.

37:58

It's very popular

37:58

here for some

37:59

reason. Alright. One person gives you

38:02

a

38:02

penny

38:04

Oh, awesome. One person gives you a ripe radish. Oh,

38:08

one person. six upon you,

38:10

madam. Yeah.

38:12

someone else gives you some twine. Uh-huh.

38:14

In William's name. In William's name.

38:18

And this is how

38:20

you were crew all kinds of

38:22

little odds and ends. Not to tell

38:24

Robert not to tell Robert you

38:28

you went and had a a great time

38:30

out at the tavern

38:32

in Portsmouth. You came back

38:34

with an

38:36

area penny. What

38:36

have you been working with or on this week?

38:39

Have you been continuing to help

38:41

with the planting? Indeed. And I

38:43

don't know if we

38:46

if are we doing are we strictly, like,

38:48

killing the fields or do we have

38:49

any animals? Like, animal handling is actually decent

38:52

as well.

38:54

I think you took care of the the planting last week.

38:56

A lot of it, so you can go ahead and and

38:58

see how your animal husbandry

39:02

is going. Alright.

39:03

789

39:05

and

39:07

ten. So it's

39:10

really okay. Not

39:12

so

39:12

tall, Robert, while you are so you

39:15

succeeded. Right? Yes.

39:16

While you are

39:19

dealing

39:19

with

39:20

the goats and

39:23

the pigs, you

39:25

suddenly

39:25

start to feel really

39:27

weak and shivery. Like, you know, you're

39:29

getting to hear me again.

39:33

I will

39:34

work a little

39:35

less hard than

39:38

just you know, don't push

39:40

myself. Okay.

39:41

You know? And all of our

39:43

answers sleep in the house instead of sleep

39:45

on the house. sick

39:47

in the the barn. All of our players

39:50

know what's going on.

39:52

Now, I would only ask

39:54

that you sort

39:56

of however you react

39:58

and you can react in sort of

40:00

a way where you try to

40:02

avoid a dark fate, However you

40:04

react, I would love for you to

40:07

play the character so that, you know,

40:09

you use the knowledge that the

40:11

character has. Sure. and

40:13

I don't even have to tell that these players that, but I wanna

40:16

make sure the listeners and the viewers know

40:18

kind of how we're approaching

40:20

this. So Less

40:22

tall

40:22

Robert, you just work a little less

40:24

hard. Is that correct? I'm not feeling

40:26

well. No need to push it.

40:28

I did a great job last week.

40:31

We made some money

40:33

in town.

40:34

Yeah. So I

40:37

I can't imagine Like, it's

40:38

not like I there's a doctor to run off

40:40

to. Alright. Let's tell let's

40:43

tell Robert, I'd like for

40:45

you to make another animal hand is it

40:48

animal handling? Yes. Animal

40:50

handling. Who's it? At

40:52

negative three, and this is

40:54

to represent how it goes the

40:56

next couple days.

40:57

Oh, dear. Alright.

41:00

ten

41:02

on seven. So failure.

41:04

Okay. So

41:05

at some point and perhaps Agnes

41:07

or Theodic noticed this

41:10

less tall Robert is trying to pin the pigs in

41:12

and he completely, like,

41:14

just goes down to one knee

41:17

and then goes down into the

41:19

mud, and it doesn't look like he fell so

41:21

much as he's collapsed. And unless

41:24

tol Robert, you know that you are

41:26

completely feverish and you

41:28

have absolutely no

41:29

strength in

41:32

this moment. you

41:32

are feeling very ill. How are my glands, Jared? This

41:34

fallen. Right now your glands

41:37

are they feel

41:39

a little sore. they feel a

41:41

little sore. I

41:43

will if

41:46

if anyone is rushing over to help me,

41:49

just say, just close the

41:51

pen. I'll I'll take care of them tomorrow. I

41:53

feel the great weariness. I simply

41:55

need a rest. Oh,

41:56

no. That's called Robert. Great

41:59

restin' on

41:59

the job.

42:02

he I

42:05

I

42:06

something disagrees. I simply need

42:09

to go lay down. That sounds

42:11

like a personal

42:14

problem. Agnes is herself. Agnes is

42:16

a rough boss. Does she

42:19

well, this is serious. Does

42:22

she command him to continue to work. That is the kind of thing that would have happened

42:24

in the middle ages. Yeah. I think she

42:26

commands him

42:26

to continue she's got enough work on

42:29

her own. She can't be beating the

42:31

pigs. Like, she has enough time for that. Alright. Let's have this

42:33

argument involve dice. How are you

42:36

you know, I don't know if you

42:38

have intimidation So

42:40

I do have intimidation. Oh, you do? Okay. I want

42:42

you to roll your intimidation, but

42:46

let's tell Robert, you are really

42:48

sick. So roll it

42:50

at negative of three. And Agnes, what could you roll to kinda get

42:52

him moving, get him back to

42:54

work? I mean, I could roll

42:56

farming,

42:57

I suppose. I could

42:59

also I could also roll theology

43:02

Catholicism and maybe make an art make an

43:04

argument about,

43:06

you know, God

43:08

puts us on this very strong to do

43:10

our labor, our daily labor, and

43:12

I won't tolerate any any

43:14

laziness out of you. You Sloth

43:17

is a sin. Isn't it? Sloth is a sin.

43:19

I love

43:19

that pitch. Let's do that. So

43:21

you roll your you

43:24

roll your theology, and less tell Robert, you roll your

43:27

intimidation at negative three. So it's

43:29

actually negative two

43:30

because I have the disadvantage.

43:34

palace, which gives me plus

43:36

one to intimidation problems.

43:39

Very good. So

43:42

Okay. I get it I get it exactly. I I

43:44

don't know why I made an argument my two

43:46

worse stats, but I did. But those are my I

43:48

did. Anyway, I rolled in eleven. I don't

43:50

know. You roll a

43:51

I was rolling I was rolling for a six and

43:54

I rolled a six and a

43:56

six. You roll a six

43:57

and a six and

44:00

you succeed. Yes.

44:00

So I'm gonna turn and go, you want the work

44:02

done, get your drooling fucking husband out

44:04

here, and then I'm gonna wander

44:08

off too. You leave

44:10

my drooling fucking husband out

44:12

of this, but I'm the one that has to live

44:14

with him. Bring

44:15

up his shit out

44:17

of his door. out of the yard,

44:19

the are so all of a sudden, Theodrick, like, pipes

44:22

up even louder, and he says,

44:24

the French man

44:26

made pillows

44:26

did fires lit

44:28

the sky. Young William was

44:30

worried his family would die.

44:33

Well, cowards and cretan

44:35

hit out in the cave.

44:37

Young William, the hero showed that

44:39

he was brave. He was just

44:41

trying to get louder and louder so that

44:43

the fans can't hear the art It's like turning

44:46

up the stereo.

44:48

Let me see. I'm

44:51

really a reaction. Oh,

44:54

Yeah. Actually, they are totally

44:57

entrenched and are not paying

44:59

attention to the fighting. But what I

45:01

would really like is for is

45:04

for

45:04

less tall Robert to make a health roll at

45:06

negative three, please.

45:09

Okay.

45:10

Rolling for seven. Oh,

45:12

and I rolled

45:14

a five. You've rolled

45:17

a five. Yeah. Okay.

45:20

Let's let's move forward a

45:22

little bit of time. But before we do,

45:25

I would love for I

45:27

would love for Not

45:30

theatric,

45:30

but I think Agnes, if you if you don't

45:32

mind, could you give me AD6 wrong?

45:34

d

45:35

six? Yes, I can. 4A4

45:37

Let me just

45:38

check something.

45:39

Okay.

45:41

So a little

45:42

time is going to

45:43

pass again. Does anybody

45:46

have anything else they'd like to

45:48

do in this scene before a little time passes. Okay. So

45:50

a little time is

45:51

going to pass again.

45:57

And let's

45:58

see. It's gonna be about

46:02

about three days pass. And

46:06

I would

46:07

like for you

46:09

to take one damage

46:12

less tall Robert. Alright?

46:16

And

46:16

I can tell you that your glands feel

46:18

very very swollen today. report

46:22

lands.

46:25

I'll

46:25

just be constantly

46:27

like rubbing them. Okay.

46:30

Very good. And have you gone back to work or

46:32

have you have you become a total layabout?

46:36

So I'm

46:39

assuming that any meals I get I get during the work. Right. So if nobody's

46:41

gonna bring me food, I will continue

46:43

to try to work. Oh,

46:47

that's bad. Okay.

46:50

So let's let's deal with the

46:52

let's deal with the each day as it comes.

46:55

What what about Theodrick and Agnes. Anything

46:57

you have you've noticed that less tall Robert has become

46:59

very disagreeable. He

47:02

is barely able to work,

47:04

but still goes through the motions.

47:06

He is having trouble eating

47:08

his food. He continues to touch

47:10

his glands and such things. any

47:13

kind of reaction to mind all heard that there is

47:15

plague in Chichester. Maybe

47:18

I pull theodrick aside so we

47:19

can discuss this. Yes.

47:24

I think less than Robert's

47:25

got the plague we heard about.

47:27

He's certainly not as

47:29

hairy as he one swaps.

47:31

That that's for seven. He used to be He

47:33

just want a strap in the head and

47:35

out. And his tall either.

47:37

Not his tall boy. He's shrinking.

47:39

It's bad for the story and it's hard to

47:41

fit the rhyme schemes. God

47:44

has

47:44

clearly smitten

47:46

him.

47:46

Well, that's I mean, for sure. For

47:48

sure. But let's be honest, he's not family. Smoke.

47:51

Smoke. Smoke it. Do

47:55

you think what should we

47:57

do? I

47:58

like that. But I'm I'm realizing now that

47:59

Agnes and Cedric are basically

48:02

contemporary. This is basically the same age. No.

48:04

On your end. Yeah. Well, a

48:06

lot of that going around in the middle ages.

48:08

I don't know what we should

48:10

I could send him to health.

48:13

I've been waiting, I've been

48:15

waiting, Bertram,

48:16

William, Theodryk. He had

48:19

magical mushrooms. He was a hero. I'm

48:21

gonna have some kind

48:22

of magic. of these days, my music

48:25

will heal people. That could

48:27

that could happen. That could happen. I'm

48:29

sure it will. Why not?

48:32

That's all. Yeah. What if? What

48:34

if? This

48:34

is a message from

48:35

God. A point is a

48:37

message from God.

48:38

that if this family were

48:40

to succeed and Wilkie,

48:42

you know, your uncle Wilkie, he he

48:44

consulted on this. He told me about it

48:46

last night. This

48:47

is a message from God that is time for best or

48:49

Robert to

48:52

go. Why is it

48:52

when you talk to Will Guy,

48:55

he gives you wisdom and answers. But whenever I talk

48:57

to him, even when I'm singing it, my hardest

48:59

is just to line a drool. It comes out of

49:01

his mouth like this. Oh,

49:03

pediatric. You don't you

49:04

it's still after all this time, you

49:07

don't recognize the effect you're singing has on

49:09

people. It stupefies them. It's so

49:11

beautiful. Well, that's

49:12

true. Uncle Wilkie,

49:13

he just he

49:15

can't get past how beautiful the sounds coming out

49:18

of your mouth on. I think

49:19

that

49:21

might be it. Well

49:22

then, my voice should be able to heal longer tall,

49:25

Robert. Except

49:27

here's the thing. That's

49:29

tall Robert. He's been hearing your voice for some

49:31

years now. He's a it's he's got

49:34

he's built up a built up a capacity

49:36

against it. So if we give

49:38

him a little bit of

49:40

cure over time, it would build up

49:42

some sort of resistance that would help to

49:44

make him

49:46

strong. It could

49:46

accept the fact that he's gotten this wrong. Yeah.

49:48

That sounds like Boulder

49:50

Dash anyway. I don't think it would

49:52

work. well, do we think we should exile

49:54

him? We could all just send him away to die in

49:56

the street. I think we could exile him. Yeah. I

49:58

think that's the

49:59

easiest solution. I'll just I'll get one of those two other things for the group,

50:02

to be honest. I'll just post two other

50:04

things for the group. And by the way,

50:06

exiling him

50:08

If you've decided on that, you should do it. But I'm just gonna put two

50:10

other things out there. There are doctors that

50:12

operate in Portsmouth and maybe that would

50:15

be interesting to lest Tal Robert and

50:18

it is coming up on another market

50:20

day for your pottery.

50:25

we could we both have to go

50:27

to the market. We could use

50:29

the opportunity to look for

50:31

a a physician. Maybe he

50:34

needs to be leached. Maybe he

50:35

does need to be leached or maybe we just need to

50:37

find a new hand. We could

50:39

ask around if anyone's

50:41

good back. We're willing to lend

50:44

out.

50:44

We'll have this. A backup plan.

50:46

I'm not So if you're replacing

50:48

less tall Robert, if you're exiling him

50:51

from the farm. I need to see that's that

50:53

scene with him. Well, I think

50:54

that I don't think we should excel

50:57

him yet. I think we should try to find

50:59

a doctor. And then if the doctor doesn't work, yes, it'd

51:01

be

51:01

unfair to Castimat without

51:04

subjecting him to the miracle of modern science

51:06

and medical.

51:08

Yes. That would be the that would be the most Christian way.

51:10

Yes. Let's do it. Well,

51:12

we could also just pray.

51:15

It's

51:15

a very Christian way. But

51:17

why not do both? Why not

51:19

do both? Yeah. I can kill them too. I I did did

51:21

I say that? that will keep talking? I that was milky

51:23

talking. We don't actually wanna kill

51:26

him. I'm a Christian

51:28

man.

51:28

I don't kill

51:31

the weak. But

51:31

you read the bible. That would be

51:33

a surprise. Actually, I feel like I

51:35

needed a sec. When I go to

51:37

church and the the priest

51:39

stands with his back to me and reads in a

51:41

foreign language. What I interpret is that we

51:44

are to be kind to the

51:46

infab. All

51:47

might usually interpret that as well, but there are

51:49

a lot of people that seem to end up dead

51:51

in that pre stories. In the name

51:53

of

51:53

John, will there be nothing

51:55

without murder seconds? Nothing

51:57

in that mouth is the

51:59

address.

51:59

That's right. So if

52:02

I understand correctly, you are taking

52:04

Let's tell

52:04

Robert if he agrees into town to take him to

52:07

a physician. Is that correct? I think that's

52:09

correct. Yes. Yes. But also, we do

52:11

need someone to carry

52:14

the pottery and things. So we, you know, there's a practical reason to

52:16

bring it to you. He's got a little pottery. The biggest

52:18

of all of us. Unless, Robert, it's the

52:20

the your your

52:24

family let on that they've

52:25

had these conversations about you.

52:27

It's simply time to take the pottery to the

52:29

market. Are you ready

52:32

to go? Yeah.

52:32

Less to Robert. He's, like, quintessential

52:35

bad patient. Like, if

52:37

you try and

52:38

do anything to care for him.

52:40

He eats, like grumbles, and grumps, and

52:42

swears, and threatens. But you're

52:44

talking about say that successful

52:48

health role he is able

52:50

to keep standing right now. His glands are sore. He's sort of

52:52

feverish and and he has, like, the

52:56

flu. But like many people

52:58

in history, the flu meant you still had to go to work.

53:00

So he is helping

53:02

with the pottery. Is that correct?

53:06

Yeah. What could go wrong with this Give me a gradual pottery.

53:08

Give me a strength role at

53:11

negative, I think, four.

53:14

Okay.

53:16

oh okay

53:19

So though

53:24

eleven

53:24

rolling for five. How

53:27

did it go? I

53:28

I failed. Oh,

53:29

yes. Okay. So

53:32

as he's unloading the pottery in the town square,

53:34

in the market square, less

53:37

tall Robert drops

53:39

a bunch of

53:42

a bunch of pots and they shatter the earth and kilometers.

53:44

So it balanced a bunch.

53:46

Yeah. On the stones, and

53:49

he's sitting there looking sick and

53:52

sweaty, and he has

53:54

shattered a lot of your

53:56

hard work. because

53:57

it is not simple to make

53:59

pottery.

53:59

It takes much of your day when you

54:02

were also trying to take care of children

54:04

and keep the house

54:06

up, agnes. I will also mention this. It's a

54:08

market day, but there's

54:10

only like twenty people milling about

54:12

the town square here as

54:14

opposed to

54:16

You saw upwards of almost fifty last time you were here. Well,

54:19

now we definitely have

54:21

to go.

54:23

Roke my pots.

54:26

kill

54:27

the things. forgive him. War.

54:30

war

54:31

Reconcises

54:33

the Christian ticket.

54:36

Again, there's a lot of people

54:37

in in that those brief stories that

54:39

don't end up forgiven. Instead of

54:42

dead,

54:42

well, why don't

54:43

we talk to

54:45

him? and see how he's doing because I

54:47

think he's doing very poorly, Agnes. I

54:50

think he's

54:52

sick. I not do importantly myself? I got a sick got

54:54

a sick infraim husband. I got you to take

54:56

care of. I got three children to take

54:59

care of me. on a grown

55:01

man. You're a grown man. Alright. Well, you spend all your time singing

55:03

to vagrants. They

55:07

gave us time.

55:08

The

55:10

twine

55:10

merchant's

55:11

not even here today at the market.

55:14

Usually, it stalls over there. I wonder what

55:15

happened to him. After we can

55:17

sell the coin? Because my vagrant brought

55:20

us twine. I provide for

55:22

this family. Can we sell

55:24

the

55:26

twine? I did

55:28

I left it at the farm. Ugh.

55:32

Okay. Are you

55:34

going to self pottery as you did last weekend? Or are you

55:36

are are you going to take

55:38

him, not last weekend, but last

55:40

market day? Or are you going

55:42

to take less tall Robert to a physician, as you mentioned

55:44

earlier, what's the next action you're going to

55:46

take? Are there any pots

55:48

to sell? There are

55:50

pots left over to sell way fewer than

55:52

you would have had. I think Agnes would

55:53

wanna sell the pots and then, yes, we can

55:56

maybe she, like, tells I'll

55:59

Robert to go to the position

55:59

himself. Then very quickly, let's have

56:02

another singing role for a Mar

56:04

friend, Theodrick, can

56:06

we get another verse in a song before I make the roll? Absolutely.

56:09

Alright. Here we go.

56:11

He ran

56:12

to the farm for his

56:15

children and

56:16

wives. In farmhouse

56:18

and field, he sought

56:21

signs of life. he checked

56:23

under rain top and peeked in the

56:26

hold bound

56:29

only bent nails and potatoes

56:33

with mold. So on

56:35

back to Portsmouth, he ran

56:37

with a log. But there's

56:40

no sign

56:40

of family at

56:43

all on the

56:45

floor. And the role

56:47

Are you writing this, Eric? Yes.

56:50

Right now. I I gotta I am the

56:52

tenth. You should see

56:54

that's under by two. you succeed

56:57

and that means that your

56:59

merchant role, miss Agnes,

57:02

will be at only

57:04

a negative two.

57:06

Okay.

57:06

So IQ minus

57:09

two. Alright.

57:10

Alright.

57:12

I got A55 hundred ten. Nice. Excellent.

57:14

So you

57:15

sell everything else that

57:17

you had, and I would love for

57:19

you to please roll

57:22

AD6 for me.

57:24

And I think theatric you should too.

57:26

Two. Two?

57:27

Okay.

57:28

the okay And

57:30

theatric?

57:34

Oh, sorry. What was the Please

57:36

roll AD6 and tell me what you got. I

57:38

got a four. Okay?

57:40

And you you sell all

57:42

your wares. You guys are doing really

57:45

well money wise. and

57:47

you certainly have enough to pay a physician's

57:50

fee, which, you know, they can be a

57:52

little steep. Do you

57:54

wanna take let's tell Robert

57:56

to the good doctor in

57:58

town or to the The guy who's

57:59

mostly a barber.

58:02

Obviously, the barber. Oh, I'm

58:04

thinking of that Simpsons moment where Margins gets injured on the ski

58:07

slopes and he's like, I want my wife to

58:09

get the best care medical best

58:11

medical care money can buy

58:13

and they're like, Like, the the

58:15

ambulance, like, enroll through the various hospitals. And it's, like, enrolls exactly on

58:18

the Springfield General before he's

58:20

happy.

58:21

Perfect. Well,

58:25

the less

58:26

reputable physician works on

58:28

the outskirts of Port Smith a

58:31

little back toward you know, where you come from

58:33

out in the fields outside of the city

58:36

and has a little

58:38

shack, a more than two

58:41

rooms like yours. It's it maybe has like

58:44

four rooms. He's pro he's

58:46

prospeuring a little better than you,

58:48

but not much. there are

58:50

pigs outside, so

58:52

that's where some of the food is coming

58:54

from. He's not buying it all in town.

58:56

And you may enter with

58:58

Let's tell Robert, you've agreed to this. I'm sorry

59:01

I should have asked that first. So,

59:03

like, how, I guess,

59:05

infirm is

59:08

less ran over at this point. He's he's

59:10

you know what? At this point, his glands

59:12

are sore, and he's still

59:14

having suffering from flu symptoms

59:17

But other than he's able to walk, he's able to

59:20

interact. But as you see, he's

59:22

taking huge negative modifiers

59:24

on his skills and after -- Sure. -- so at

59:26

Westall, Robert,

59:26

probably can be muscled

59:29

to the bad doctor.

59:30

to the bad doctor But

59:32

while we're still in

59:33

town, if it's clear that you're taking me away,

59:35

like like towards this,

59:37

you know, this

59:40

hack, he,

59:42

like, just spits inactive and

59:44

struggles the whole way. Like, it

59:46

wasn't his fault

59:47

that the battery fell. You put a

59:49

bad clays on it. Like, if anybody's

59:51

being punished, it's you

59:54

with your

59:55

screaming brats and your you

59:58

know, an ill husband. He's he needs a doctor

59:59

more than

1:00:00

me, blah, blah. Very good.

1:00:02

I think that

1:00:03

in that case, do

1:00:06

you really wanna try to force your way free and not go to this

1:00:09

doctor? No. I I wanna

1:00:10

try kinda do any I wanna intimidate them

1:00:12

and it's taking me to a better done.

1:00:15

of the will fall

1:00:16

apart without me. Interesting.

1:00:19

So Ahedric and Agnes

1:00:21

can just roll just roll their

1:00:23

strength their strength because you're kind of forcing

1:00:25

him along unless there's a different skill you'd

1:00:27

like to use. And

1:00:30

my friend, My friend,

1:00:32

Les Tal Robert, you can roll your intimidate.

1:00:34

I'm putting that a

1:00:36

negative, I'm sure. What's made? Yes. Your

1:00:38

intimidate will be at negative four. Can

1:00:40

I roll my first aid to, like Yes.

1:00:43

See, that's great. how sick you

1:00:45

are. You're like, yeah.

1:00:48

first. So

1:00:50

I subside on

1:00:53

the first aid. Okay. okay

1:00:55

I I missed my teammate

1:00:56

role by h.

1:00:58

Okay. So I think that they

1:01:00

do take you to the chief is

1:01:04

not convincing. They do take you to the cheaper doctor and my description

1:01:06

of his shovel was knocked

1:01:08

in vain. And so

1:01:10

you enter

1:01:12

and perhaps

1:01:14

you see that there are, like, herbs hanging

1:01:16

over the door as you enter.

1:01:18

There's a fire going inside.

1:01:21

There are many different herbs and plants

1:01:23

kind of hanging from the ceiling

1:01:25

in various places. And a man

1:01:27

turns to you and he's wearing a kind

1:01:29

of a weird mask underneath,

1:01:32

you know, hanging off of his

1:01:34

face, and he says so.

1:01:36

Well, before you enter.

1:01:39

Any of you showing symptoms of the

1:01:42

plug? I'll look at

1:01:44

the other

1:01:44

two and go, no, we're fine.

1:01:47

this one sick. Yeah.

1:01:48

He's he's got signs all

1:01:51

around him.

1:01:52

Very good. Very good. Well,

1:01:55

as you can see, I'm completely protected. So

1:01:57

I just need to know what

1:01:59

kind

1:01:59

of risks

1:02:02

I'm taking. Come in,

1:02:04

sir. Come in.

1:02:06

Let me look you over. My name's

1:02:09

Doll.

1:02:09

I will wander in and sit

1:02:12

on whatever surfaces provided. Very good.

1:02:14

There is just a chair

1:02:16

at a normal table. There

1:02:18

is no bed for examinations.

1:02:22

You know,

1:02:23

I'll say, like, I

1:02:24

just need a rest of the

1:02:27

water. That's it. They're not

1:02:29

providing for me. Let's

1:02:31

see. He's gonna look you over carefully

1:02:34

with his physician skill.

1:02:36

Keep in mind he has a

1:02:38

lower score than a guy you could have gone to.

1:02:40

That

1:02:42

would have been more expensive. Yeah.

1:02:44

I can't how would Agnes

1:02:46

ever pay more for medical

1:02:48

care for a hand armhand?

1:02:50

I've been

1:02:52

with the family for generations.

1:02:54

With the

1:02:55

family. Sorry. You

1:02:58

can't fool me, sir. You have what's going

1:03:00

around. So so

1:03:02

the

1:03:03

address takes a step back. Every operator in

1:03:06

Potage, you

1:03:08

know, or

1:03:09

I've seen this I've seen this

1:03:11

get really really nasty.

1:03:14

I'm I'm sorry it could be fatal.

1:03:16

There's only one thing I can do

1:03:18

for you.

1:03:19

I'm gonna have to bleed you. And he

1:03:21

pulls a huge razor

1:03:24

off of a shelf and shows it

1:03:26

to you and starts to move toward

1:03:29

you. And that is where we will

1:03:31

take a short break. We're

1:03:34

gonna have a word from our sponsor and

1:03:36

then we'll returned to the fourteenth century

1:03:38

and watch the blood

1:03:40

flow maybe here with the game

1:03:42

garage on the glass

1:03:44

cannon network.

1:03:45

Hi, guys. Jared Logan

1:03:48

here. What do I think about when

1:03:50

I think about the phrase high

1:03:52

quality meals? I guess I think

1:03:54

about fresh ingredients. I think

1:03:56

about food that feels

1:03:58

handcrafted, artisanal,

1:04:00

restaurants with table cloths and waiters that

1:04:02

ask you, Have you ever dined with us

1:04:05

before? butcher box takes the guest work

1:04:07

out of finding high quality meat

1:04:09

and seafood you can trust. We're talking

1:04:11

about one hundred percent grass fed

1:04:13

beef, free

1:04:14

1:04:16

raised crate free and

1:04:19

wild caught seafood. This is humanely raised food. There's

1:04:21

no guilt here and no antibiotics are

1:04:24

added hormones. It's the

1:04:26

ultimate inconvenience. You get just what you

1:04:28

want delivered right to your

incredible value. You can enjoy a

1:05:00

personalized so you can

1:05:02

cook up mouth watering meals.

1:05:04

My favorite

1:05:05

thing about butcher box. It's restaurant quality, a phrase

1:05:07

that I overused, but it's

1:05:09

true of butcher box.

1:05:12

I threw two t bone steaks on the grill the other night. We cooked

1:05:14

them up medium rare. I enjoyed them

1:05:16

with a friend. We felt like we were

1:05:18

having a night out at our favorite fancy restaurant.

1:05:22

You guys, I feel like a championship winning

1:05:24

UFC fighter when I eat

1:05:26

butcher books. I'm living the good

1:05:29

life with stakes every night and

1:05:31

I have supple rippling mussels and

1:05:34

packs. Look, my favorite

1:05:36

thing about butcher box really is the

1:05:38

taste. It's just

1:05:40

really good high quality food. And right now,

1:05:42

1:06:15

now a word from our

1:06:17

sponsor better help.

1:06:20

If you're like me, you'll

1:06:22

get super wrapped up in a problem

1:06:24

like hyper focused on it, get

1:06:26

caught in a in a loop,

1:06:30

where you just you can't shake thinking

1:06:32

about the problem, but you also

1:06:34

it keeps you from thinking about

1:06:38

possible solutions. And

1:06:40

sometimes just kind of breaking

1:06:42

that chain and finding a

1:06:44

new perspective can help a lot. It can be

1:06:46

tough to train your brain to stay in problem solving mode

1:06:49

when faced with a challenge

1:06:51

in life. But When you learn

1:06:54

how to find your own solutions,

1:06:56

there's no better feeling. A therapist can

1:06:58

help you become a better

1:07:00

problem solver making it easier for you to accomplish your

1:07:02

goals no matter how

1:07:04

big or small. I've

1:07:06

I've talked a lot about my personal experience

1:07:09

1:08:09

We are playing a

1:08:11

historical scenario in

1:08:13

the fourteenth century. The plague is ravaging. Chichester

1:08:15

and Portsmouth and our

1:08:18

friend, less tall Robert, has

1:08:21

just been taken to a position who says he needs

1:08:23

to bleed him. Less Robert, when the

1:08:26

razor makes an appearance, What

1:08:30

do you do? So I hate to

1:08:32

throw

1:08:33

a role playing

1:08:36

to mechanics.

1:08:36

because

1:08:38

I

1:08:38

think this shit will probably start struggling and try to escape, except this is

1:08:43

accepted medical procedure. I'm

1:08:47

gonna make a will roll to hold

1:08:49

still while the knife

1:08:51

comes down. Before

1:08:53

he brings the

1:08:56

knife down, he looks to he

1:08:58

looks to Agnes and says, ten

1:09:00

pennies.

1:09:01

and any

1:09:04

Theodrick. Why are

1:09:04

you the

1:09:05

man? I'm very cooperative

1:09:07

for that. I reach

1:09:09

in and and pay and and

1:09:11

try not to get too alarmed when my fingers

1:09:13

scrape the empty bottom of the pouch

1:09:15

as I pull the

1:09:17

last coin out. Good thing. We

1:09:20

didn't pick the most

1:09:22

expensive physics. Yes. Alright.

1:09:24

How did that will roll

1:09:26

go? My friend, Les Tal Robert? Let's

1:09:28

see. The knife slowly starts to come down.

1:09:30

You're looking at a masked face of

1:09:35

the physician. It's not one of those plague masks, you know, from the pictures. It doesn't have

1:09:37

a big beak. It has, like, more of a pouch

1:09:39

on the end of it, and

1:09:42

he's bringing the the the blade

1:09:44

down toward your arm and

1:09:46

how did it go? So

1:09:49

I really really wanted

1:09:51

to get a little medical carrier. But I rolled

1:09:53

a seventeen, so

1:09:54

that's a critical failure. I'm

1:09:56

not going to roll. So

1:09:58

I think I'll start struggling and

1:09:59

swing it. let's

1:10:02

tell

1:10:02

Robert make a brawl role against this physician. That's such

1:10:03

a bad role that I

1:10:06

think that you brawl with

1:10:08

him. Well,

1:10:12

I

1:10:12

fail that too with a sixty.

1:10:14

Like, I'm I'm rolling awfully. Okay.

1:10:17

I think

1:10:18

that because you failed your brawl role, you completely

1:10:20

you completely freak out, but I

1:10:22

would like strength roles from Agnes

1:10:25

and Theidrick to

1:10:27

hold you down. And the doctor will make

1:10:30

a strength roll as well. I got a seven out of

1:10:32

ten. out of fat and I

1:10:35

got an eight under nine. Holy crap. Well, the

1:10:37

doctor isn't very good at holding you

1:10:39

down. He failed, but your

1:10:41

your your family holds

1:10:44

you down. and the doctor applies

1:10:46

the blade to your arm in several places and it has a little bowl

1:10:48

under it to catch

1:10:51

the blood and bright red

1:10:54

blood flows down out of your arm, and then he moves to the other arm and does the same thing.

1:10:56

And when he's finished, you

1:10:58

lose another point of health. Oh,

1:11:04

but not

1:11:04

hit points. Health. Oh, no.

1:11:06

I'm so sorry. Hit

1:11:08

points. Or you

1:11:10

lose a And that's what you lost earlier, by the way, a hit

1:11:13

point -- Yes. -- not health.

1:11:15

I forget health is a

1:11:19

attribute in GIRPS. Okay. It's over. You feel a

1:11:21

little weak. You feel a little light headed.

1:11:23

And he's like, there.

1:11:25

That wasn't so bad.

1:11:28

Was it?

1:11:29

being much improved? Thank God for modern

1:11:31

science. Yes. I mean, are

1:11:32

all of

1:11:34

your learning doctor? Well,

1:11:38

well

1:11:39

Back in old days, we wouldn't have known what's caused this

1:11:41

plague, but now we know that there's

1:11:43

a melasma that's

1:11:45

been released into the air because

1:11:48

Jupiter is in the house of

1:11:50

Saturn. You see? Yes. And the

1:11:52

interstellar humans

1:11:55

have mixed to create a cloud of Miasma that is

1:11:57

moving through the air and

1:11:59

causing people to get sick.

1:12:01

But it's nothing that

1:12:04

can't be killed, but a little bleeding. Well,

1:12:06

that's so interesting.

1:12:06

I thought it was the word of God.

1:12:10

Ah, well, God

1:12:12

moves all things, doesn't he? He's the prime mover.

1:12:14

So if God decides that Jupiter would be in

1:12:16

the house of Saturn,

1:12:18

well, then it shall be.

1:12:20

I'm not saying that God isn't

1:12:23

responsible. As you know, God is responsible for all things. I would never

1:12:28

say that our Lord and savior

1:12:30

Jesus, Christ does not have his hand in everything. Agnes looks really

1:12:32

like Swin

1:12:33

said, I'm really

1:12:35

hard from another Are

1:12:37

you a blasphemer doctor? No. I know.

1:12:39

Absolutely not. No. Have you ever been

1:12:41

accused of

1:12:42

blasphemer by the church?

1:12:45

I should

1:12:46

say not, ma'am. I believe you.

1:12:48

Well, I have other customers.

1:12:50

I'll bid you all good day.

1:12:55

What do we do tomorrow? Just one

1:12:58

question. Yes?

1:12:59

Yes. the

1:13:01

This mask that protects you. I don't

1:13:03

suppose you've got, you know, doubles.

1:13:06

It's

1:13:06

a trade secret. I'm afraid

1:13:08

I couldn't let one go. for

1:13:10

less than a pound. Because you

1:13:13

see, it's not just the

1:13:15

mask. There's a poultice of

1:13:17

herbs that need to go

1:13:19

inside of it. Oh,

1:13:20

is that what I

1:13:22

smell? I thought I was

1:13:24

discarded skin. The well,

1:13:26

how about a pound of

1:13:29

pottery sheds.

1:13:32

Please, I really do have I

1:13:34

really do have other customers. What

1:13:36

if I made an

1:13:38

an exclusive commitment to provide you the

1:13:40

pottery to hold your

1:13:43

eggs. Listen, it sounds like you're trying

1:13:45

to do a little trade, so give me

1:13:47

a merchant role at I think

1:13:49

I think it's

1:13:50

a full negative four. He doesn't really wanna give away his trade secrets. Alright.

1:13:56

Nope. Nine. I need to roll

1:13:58

it out.

1:13:59

I

1:13:59

have important

1:14:03

work to do.

1:14:05

What do

1:14:05

we do? Oh, wait. What are

1:14:07

we supposed to do with this one? What do we do now?

1:14:09

He's been blunt. He's been blunt. He's fine. He's cured. His symptoms

1:14:12

should subside.

1:14:12

ah he'd sit symptoms should

1:14:14

subside a lot. I feel

1:14:16

cured. Come on

1:14:17

you. So you head

1:14:18

off you head

1:14:19

off into

1:14:22

the afternoon, and this is the time when I would like for Theidrick

1:14:24

and my friend Agnes to

1:14:27

make a health role

1:14:29

at negative three.

1:14:30

Oh, gosh. Oh, no.

1:14:32

Agnes.

1:14:33

Oh. Bail.

1:14:36

I

1:14:39

failed by one. Okay?

1:14:40

So sometime is gonna pass again unless anybody

1:14:42

had anything they'd like to do to

1:14:45

end the scene that we

1:14:47

just had. And anybody have

1:14:49

any other actions. I if not,

1:14:51

I'm going to have a little time pass. And

1:14:54

I presumably am cured. So as soon as

1:14:56

I'm back

1:14:58

on my feet. I actually

1:15:00

want you to make a

1:15:02

health at negative three roll.

1:15:07

I failed by three. Okay.

1:15:09

No. Negative three, I failed

1:15:12

by six. You failed by six.

1:15:15

Okay. So another week has passed, and I can tell you that

1:15:20

both Agnes and Theodrick,

1:15:22

you're shivering. Oh. You've got

1:15:28

chills. And you are

1:15:30

you're you're feeling really really weak and achy. Meanwhile,

1:15:35

my

1:15:35

good friend less

1:15:39

tall Robert, things are about to

1:15:41

get really gross because yeah.

1:15:44

Let's

1:15:44

see. Where where it Let's

1:15:46

see exactly. Where's the hip location table?

1:15:48

Oh, I know. for

1:15:51

you. That's exactly the the hip

1:15:53

location table for me and roll

1:15:55

on it. Would you? Roll roll on

1:15:57

it for me twice.

1:16:00

Got it.

1:16:00

yeah

1:16:03

Where is that

1:16:06

thing located location

1:16:09

table? Alright.

1:16:12

Got it. Alright. First

1:16:14

roll

1:16:15

is eight

1:16:16

nine ten. That's

1:16:19

the torso. Uh-huh. And

1:16:22

give me one more. Second

1:16:28

roll.

1:16:28

This might

1:16:29

kill me. Eighteenth.

1:16:31

That's the neck. Okay.

1:16:32

So what has happened is you

1:16:34

have developed an enormous goiter in

1:16:37

one of your

1:16:40

arm pits It is extremely painful and

1:16:42

you've started vomiting like every day.

1:16:44

It's an enormous. It's like the

1:16:46

size of like a tennis ball.

1:16:50

And also, even though this isn't

1:16:52

typical of the disease, you

1:16:54

now have an enormous goyter

1:16:57

like protrusion on

1:17:00

your neck. This bleeding

1:17:01

didn't take at

1:17:03

all. You

1:17:07

are absolutely unable to to work anymore. And

1:17:09

in addition to that because six days have passed, you have

1:17:12

lost oh my

1:17:14

god. I don't know how

1:17:16

many hit points you have? You've

1:17:18

lost an additional six hit points is what I just rolled. I have one hit

1:17:24

point remaining. Okay. That's really not good. So

1:17:26

I I would like you to just tell me about what when less tall

1:17:28

Robert is in this situation. First

1:17:30

of all, I need Agnes and Theidrick

1:17:34

to tell me, is he staying in the

1:17:36

barn? Is he stay are you

1:17:38

allowing him to stay in his normal quarters?

1:17:41

Are are you caring for him?

1:17:43

Are you leaving him to to his fate? What are you doing? Where

1:17:48

do where do you

1:17:49

normally sleep? Let's spell Robert, do you sleep in the barn? Do

1:17:51

you have a room on

1:17:55

your plot? never established.

1:17:55

You know, I thought I might have moved into Leo

1:17:57

Frick's old place. You never had any kids if

1:17:59

that was allowed. It's

1:18:02

allowed. You also intimidated Wilke

1:18:04

into into, like, letting

1:18:06

him letting you run that pattern. So Yeah. There you go. So

1:18:08

at well, Leo Frick's Place,

1:18:10

which was quite

1:18:11

nice at one time

1:18:14

in full of books, but I've now burned all of those.

1:18:17

And, yeah, it's

1:18:20

it's

1:18:20

trash. I

1:18:22

think Agnes would do

1:18:24

a Christian thing and provide

1:18:27

first aid to everybody. that

1:18:29

is a really, really beautiful Agnes. Agnes, go

1:18:31

and roll your first aid for

1:18:36

our friend less tall Robert, but

1:18:38

you must roll it at a negative three. Okay? because you are feeling sick.

1:18:41

Going for

1:18:44

a nine. and I

1:18:46

roll the twelve. Okay. So unfortunately, you know,

1:18:48

you're not even

1:18:51

really able to make poor,

1:18:53

less tall Robert, more comfortable. And at one hit point, he's kinda going in

1:18:55

and out of consciousness. He's sort of waking

1:18:58

up just to vomit. and

1:19:02

it's a pretty gruesome scene. You're kind of having to collect, you know, everything that's coming out

1:19:05

of him

1:19:08

and it's It's

1:19:10

really tough to do with the addition of having to take care of your

1:19:12

kids.

1:19:16

Speaking

1:19:17

of the children? No.

1:19:19

Think of

1:19:20

the children, Jared.

1:19:22

I'm thinking of

1:19:24

them.

1:19:25

Not Esther

1:19:26

Esther two and Young Wilkie. Esther Esther

1:19:28

two

1:19:30

and Young Wilkie.

1:19:34

Is that their

1:19:35

age order? 641

1:19:38

Only young Wilkie.

1:19:41

Only Wilkie's namesake is not

1:19:43

exhibiting symptoms right now. The other

1:19:45

two are exhibiting symptoms.

1:19:48

Theodrick, you have

1:19:50

a visitor Another person that perhaps wants

1:19:52

to look at the house, look at

1:19:54

that home of the hero.

1:19:57

Oh, comedy why.

1:20:00

Come

1:20:01

come this way. The

1:20:03

person that approaches they

1:20:06

called from without saying, I

1:20:08

Is this the home of the hero?

1:20:10

And when you came out and said come this way, you now see that this person is, like, walking

1:20:15

funny and looks really, really

1:20:18

kind of sick and discolored. And in fact,

1:20:23

there is a big they also have

1:20:26

on their neck a big kinda bulging spot. And and this

1:20:28

one has become blackened. And

1:20:30

the woman that approaches is like,

1:20:34

the Please. Please. Your

1:20:36

father was a

1:20:39

martyr, a holy

1:20:43

martyr. Can you heal me? I'll

1:20:44

do my best. Just

1:20:47

keep your distance, ma'am,

1:20:49

and my dog is

1:20:51

into the music. behalf

1:20:53

of God, intervene on my half to God. I will.

1:20:55

I will. That

1:20:57

i will please,

1:20:58

please calm yourself.

1:21:02

and

1:21:02

let us listen

1:21:04

to a song of

1:21:07

the

1:21:07

times. So many songs. Every

1:21:09

time Eric is not on stage

1:21:12

gave. He's just furiously writing -- Exactly. --

1:21:14

writing bursts. You're writing? Okay. Let's see. writing. This is

1:21:16

gonna help you. And it it's

1:21:18

also a bit about me. Just

1:21:20

so you

1:21:22

can understand my place in the drama.

1:21:25

My asthma.

1:21:28

My asthma. The danger

1:21:30

around,

1:21:31

the words

1:21:32

of the barber make

1:21:35

a frightening sound, abandoned,

1:21:38

fair portsmouth, it could never be done, not

1:21:41

by Theodric, Yum

1:21:43

Williams, fair son. the And

1:21:47

then hopefully, I

1:21:48

say this in a in a

1:21:50

way that that formerly tall

1:21:53

formerly tall Robert

1:21:54

can hear. and it's and and but I'm also aiming at at her.

1:21:56

I wrote this verse for for Robert, but I think

1:21:58

it will apply to her as

1:21:59

well. Singing negative three.

1:22:02

We're all singing a negative

1:22:04

three. Okay. Let me load in

1:22:06

this last verse, though, because I didn't get that. I'm sorry. I didn't have a product. The song was over. I say

1:22:08

I say please don't

1:22:11

pick it boom balls.

1:22:12

or

1:22:15

itch at your sore, the barber

1:22:17

said bed rest alone

1:22:19

could do more. Your

1:22:22

fate is with God now. There's nothing to fear. A

1:22:26

heavenly hero, you

1:22:29

and I got and

1:22:32

it totally it totally

1:22:35

broke the mood of the

1:22:38

Paul of child mortality that was floating over

1:22:40

the game. Yes. Okay. How did you do? Did you I

1:22:43

got a nine out of thirteen. Oh,

1:22:45

okay. Incredible. So here's

1:22:47

what happens next. Some

1:22:52

time passes.

1:22:54

six

1:22:55

days. And I I would

1:22:58

like everybody to make six

1:23:00

health negative three rolls.

1:23:02

Tell me how I'm sure I'll survive these.

1:23:06

Oh, my

1:23:08

god. El FA1I

1:23:11

1:23:13

1:23:15

damage and die.

1:23:22

he Okay.

1:23:25

the

1:23:27

gonna you in minute,

1:23:28

Clinton Trucks.

1:23:31

I will say,

1:23:32

i will say

1:23:33

the less tall

1:23:36

Robert

1:23:36

lined delirious in

1:23:37

his own filth, does

1:23:40

hear

1:23:40

the here through

1:23:42

real is open his open window.

1:23:44

a

1:23:44

song

1:23:45

on the air and is is one small

1:23:48

heart,

1:23:48

the

1:23:49

you

1:23:52

know. in

1:23:53

its final beating turns to the thought

1:23:55

of forgiveness and the good lord,

1:23:58

and and hopefully

1:24:01

he dies.

1:24:03

I

1:24:03

haven't changed his nature. Well, I think

1:24:06

that's beautiful. We're gonna we're gonna see

1:24:08

that in a minute, but I'd

1:24:10

like to know how those

1:24:12

health roles went for my friend,

1:24:14

Theadrick. Theadrick rolled a seven on one

1:24:18

of them, which is a success.

1:24:20

Mhmm. But the others

1:24:22

were were poor. Right? The

1:24:24

others were failures were very poor.

1:24:26

Off theaters. Take take one damage for all the ones that failed, so that's five.

1:24:32

Okay. And you are starting

1:24:34

to develop the the big kind of booboos. Could we run roll

1:24:38

on the the table,

1:24:40

Clint, the

1:24:42

hit location table to find out where

1:24:44

theatric is developing these boobas. How

1:24:46

many would

1:24:47

you like? I think three

1:24:50

this time. not the mouth or the throat.

1:24:52

Thirteen,

1:24:53

which is the

1:24:55

left leg. Okay. So

1:24:58

Bubba's traditionally developed in the groin area, and I think in your left side of your groin, you have Oh.

1:25:03

Well, actually, eleven a

1:25:06

visual is the groin. Oh my god.

1:25:09

Okay. You have two

1:25:11

there. And as it's

1:25:13

seven and the right leg.

1:25:16

of all

1:25:20

of theatrics. All

1:25:23

Felix Goyer boobas are in the

1:25:25

groin area. Oh, it's like a

1:25:27

skirk. It's like a

1:25:29

flashy skirt. A flashy skirt. Agnes

1:25:31

of Chichester, how did your health roles

1:25:33

go? Agnes, the younger of Chichester

1:25:36

have failed four out

1:25:38

of six. four out of six. Okay. So you take

1:25:40

four hit points of

1:25:42

damage and you have

1:25:45

begun begun after these six days to develop the

1:25:48

boos as well. And would

1:25:50

you please Clinton trucks

1:25:52

roll on the hit location

1:25:55

table twice

1:25:57

for poor

1:25:58

Agnes. Sure. Left

1:25:59

leg. Mhmm.

1:26:03

I think that one's actually on your

1:26:04

leg. My leg is

1:26:06

growing. Oh my god.

1:26:08

Okay. So you're having

1:26:11

a similar having a similar week to poor Theodic. Here's

1:26:14

what happens. Theodic,

1:26:17

because of your incredible

1:26:19

sing the woman who was very afflicted. You have now gathered

1:26:22

a a crowd of squatters

1:26:24

who perhaps you want off

1:26:26

of your homestead, but there are

1:26:29

five different people who believe that you're singing and

1:26:31

your your appeals to God will

1:26:36

heal them and they are stay sitting

1:26:38

on your farm and kind of praying with you and singing with you and

1:26:43

I would like to know how theatric reacts to this. But first,

1:26:46

think about it. III

1:26:49

feel like Eric's gonna write another

1:26:51

song, but first. Agnes, you

1:26:53

are there in Leo Frick's

1:26:55

old cottage and

1:27:01

Our friend,

1:27:02

less Tal Roberts, symptoms have changed. He's now having

1:27:05

a lot of

1:27:08

trouble breathing.

1:27:12

That's

1:27:12

tall Robert. Don't look so

1:27:13

good for you. I'm not

1:27:16

gonna lie. Is there

1:27:18

anything you want me

1:27:19

to do?

1:27:23

I.

1:27:26

to

1:27:27

be forgiven. Be forgiven.

1:27:29

That's a

1:27:29

good one. Would you

1:27:32

please list off the

1:27:33

things you need

1:27:35

for giving

1:27:36

for? Spend here. We can't hear

1:27:38

you. Speak up. I spoke ill

1:27:40

of

1:27:44

my masters.

1:27:48

III

1:27:49

blast streamed against God, not

1:27:51

redeemed within my

1:27:54

heart. I that. III fabricated I

1:27:57

committed the sin of odin

1:27:59

odin

1:27:59

in there and he meets the

1:28:02

point of greatest places on the

1:28:04

room. I

1:28:09

help.

1:28:10

they'll For those

1:28:12

things, You

1:28:14

don't need my forgiveness.

1:28:16

That's Joel Roberts. You

1:28:17

need gods. Was he here? I thought I

1:28:19

heard him singing.

1:28:20

he i thought i owed him singing

1:28:23

no.

1:28:23

That was just the hairdryer.

1:28:25

Fuck. I

1:28:28

don't know.

1:28:28

He's always vegards to our land.

1:28:31

They're out there singing in rang

1:28:33

with him right now. And you

1:28:35

believe it? Oh, you can tell that he wants to get mad again

1:28:36

because it's his

1:28:38

nature. What is too weak?

1:28:42

Getting mad actually might be the

1:28:44

straw that broke the camel's back.

1:28:46

Just that little bit of fury

1:28:48

as I think the last thing

1:28:51

that pops a blood vessel and kills

1:28:53

him, but he can

1:28:55

have

1:28:55

some final words if

1:28:57

you'd like. This truly

1:29:00

was

1:29:00

short and brutish.

1:29:02

And nasty in the

1:29:05

end.

1:29:07

Yeah. Normally, I feel really bad for killing

1:29:09

a character, but let's face it.

1:29:11

It was inevitable. this

1:29:15

Did you have plans for all the rest of the world?

1:29:17

So, gluten trucks, I think that

1:29:19

less tall Robert's

1:29:24

ghost remains And so let's tell him

1:29:26

what's what's that? His unquiet ghost. His unquiet spirit and

1:29:28

I think that

1:29:31

in the fourteenth century, People

1:29:33

believed in unquiet spirits. They believed in in

1:29:35

those kinds of things, especially for

1:29:37

a soul like

1:29:40

yours, which didn't really receive final

1:29:42

forgiveness. So if you would like to think about that and

1:29:44

and perhaps a a

1:29:47

less tall Robert's presence is

1:29:49

still felt in some small way. I would like to hear from you about that

1:29:52

throughout the rest

1:29:55

of the game. But for

1:29:58

now, let us talk to Theodore Howard once again, this family

1:30:01

is gathering

1:30:04

followers. Right. Theodric,

1:30:06

how do you deal with these squatters on your land who are all very very sick?

1:30:12

Well,

1:30:13

theatric is pretty

1:30:13

sick as well. It is mostly -- Yeah.

1:30:14

-- below the belts and he's wearing like a

1:30:17

like a big long

1:30:19

sort of robe skirt that

1:30:21

hide most of it, so it's hard to

1:30:24

see. But anytime he has to move, you can see

1:30:26

him kinda like, you know, like, well, you can imagine

1:30:28

what

1:30:29

like. But he he

1:30:32

he's torn up because I think

1:30:34

he's smart enough to realize

1:30:37

that more sick

1:30:39

people is probably gonna bring more

1:30:41

Miasma to

1:30:42

the farm, but

1:30:44

this is kind of

1:30:45

the family business this. At least as

1:30:47

he sees it is getting people in touch with

1:30:49

their religion, bringing the power of

1:30:52

God to solve

1:30:55

the challenges of day. So he's leaning in. I

1:30:57

mean, both literally and figuratively. He's kind of like, no. If we all face each other while

1:31:00
