00:09:20,520 then he'll sort of get on. 202 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:28,920 And I think just enjoying a bit more lightness after the battle and after everything. 203 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:34,240 I think I think tagk as well is quite... he's not as grumpy as he usually would be. 204 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,880 Yeah, yeah, prickly. 205 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,360 That's cool. 206 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:43,920 So yeah, I'll open up my arm and I'll take a look at all the intricacies. 207 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,440 I feel it's a bit off. 208 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,520 It's a bit off kilter at the moment. 209 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,840 The first thing we need to do is see what happens just on a practical level. 210 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:54,840 Do a tinkering roll. 211 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:55,840 OK. 212 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,320 And I think you're plus three. 213 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,120 Oh, five, five. 214 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,720 Oh, no, it is what it is in there. 215 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:09,960 It's all kind of at the level of your knowledge at the moment. 216 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:14,040 I mean, you can give it a little bit of a clean and a tidy up. 217 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:19,800 But other than that, it's like, well, mechanically, it's sound as far as you can tell. 218 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:25,840 And you'd either need different equipment or materials or get input from someone else 219 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,800 to just push it on mechanically. 220 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:28,800 Nice. 221 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:29,800 OK. 222 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,160 I need to find myself some little bits and bobbins. 223 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:34,160 Yeah. 224 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:39,440 I've been in nature for quite some time, so I've just got like bits of string. 225 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:40,440 Yeah. 226 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:41,440 All right. 227 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,320 But what you can do, though, is have a look at the magical side of it. 228 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,880 You know, following on from the wild magic surge that you had earlier in the day, you've 229 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:56,680 still kind of carrying some of that residual charge that you feel you could maybe tap into 230 00:10:56,680 --> 00:11:04,240 and just see if it can, you know, create some little alchemy or connections within the magical 231 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:05,600 elements of the claw. 232 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:06,600 Yeah. 233 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:07,600 Yeah. 234 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:08,600 All right. 235 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:09,600 Cool. 236 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:10,600 All right. 237 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,440 So if you want to roll for it'll be Arcana. 238 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:13,440 Yep. 239 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:14,440 Arcana. 240 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,400 Oh, nice. 241 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:23,040 So that's 19 on the dice plus four. 242 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,360 Twenty three. 243 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:25,360 Wow. 244 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,360 OK. 245 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:32,480 You know, mechanically, the arm is where it is, but magically, as you are sort of soaked 246 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:39,560 through with the goodness of the mud that you were immersed in, and then you had a wild 247 00:11:39,560 --> 00:11:46,280 magic surge, which was connecting you to the elemental forces within the mud itself. 248 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:52,560 And it absorbed through your skin, charged you up with all that gobliny goodness. 249 00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:59,400 You feel the magic surging from you into the magical crystals within the arm, and they 250 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,400 glow with a muddy goodness. 251 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,600 Oh, that feels really good. 252 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:12,120 And you can tell that there's an enhanced richness and focus between yourself and these 253 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,680 gems in the connection points within your arm. 254 00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:19,880 I think Nix's mohawk is sort of like waving in the air. 255 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:20,880 Oh, lovely. 256 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:21,880 Like there's a sort of... 257 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:22,880 Mud kelp? 258 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:23,880 Mud kelp. 259 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:24,880 Yeah. 260 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:25,880 Lovely. 261 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:26,880 Like orange mud kelp. 262 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,360 Just waving the little sparks. 263 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:30,360 Beautiful. 264 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:36,760 And you can probably see these little connections running through what would be his veins, running 265 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:43,320 sort of down and around and down his arms, passing through his nubbin to the mechanics 266 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:44,320 of the arm itself. 267 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:50,000 I think this will actually be visible, and I think Tagk can actually see this happening. 268 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:57,100 And Tagk is going to go very, very still, and his eyes go very, very wide, and the ladle 269 00:12:57,100 --> 00:13:04,800 slips from his grasp as he sees these green veins bulging in one side of your face and 270 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,800 down your neck and shoulder. 271 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,800 Nix, what's happening?! 272 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,120 Are you doing that thing again?! 273 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:17,920 I think I'm oblivious to what Tagk's doing because I'm just like ultra-focused. 274 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,520 It's just like an internal light that I'm just... 275 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,720 Okay, I think you need to roll for a wild magic surge. 276 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:24,720 Okay. 277 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,640 I'll get my little chart out there. 278 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,640 I am absolutely buzzing. 279 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,640 That's a three. 280 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:35,640 Three. 281 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,440 Okay, so as this... 282 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:43,400 You're having another wild magic surge the second of the day, and it's swelling up inside 283 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:49,720 you, and there's a tremor in the ground beneath you, and then around the campfire. 284 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:56,240 The flames themselves seem to draw in the power, and they take on a more muddy hue. 285 00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:04,000 They surge into the air in a great shaft of fire that forms a column around a little cooking 286 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,000 pot. 287 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:14,040 And I think Tagk needs to see if he can jump out of the way, so it would be a dex save. 288 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,240 And he fails his dex save. 289 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,760 And he's going to take... 290 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,760 He's going to take three points of damage. 291 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,040 Oh no. 292 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:31,480 The flames themselves, like I said, a big column of flame all around the cooking pot, 293 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:37,320 and it takes quite a while for them to subside, and you can feel the heat coming off them. 294 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:43,200 Tagk's legged it, he's behind a bush somewhere, and when it all settles, there's just a rather 295 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:50,760 strong smell coming from the cooking pot, and Tagk comes over, stares at the pot, very 296 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,240 gingerly lifts the lid. 297 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,160 Oh well that's just great! 298 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,280 What are you doing? 299 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:58,760 What keeps happening, Nix? 300 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:04,600 I think at that point, Nix just comes to, and he's like, oh, what's that smell? 301 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,480 That's our tea! 302 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:12,640 You went all bulgy and veiny and glowing and... 303 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,040 Oh, all right, oh, okay. 304 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,240 What keeps happening, Nix? 305 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,240 Your face is all like, sooty. 306 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,240 All black face and no eyebrows. 307 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,240 Yeah, he's sort of patting down his tunic. 308 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,960 I'll give him a bit of an end with that as well. 309 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,960 I'm really sorry about that. 310 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,640 I mean, it felt amazing, but yeah. 311 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:34,640 I surged. 312 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:35,640 What is it? 313 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,640 Why do you keep doing this? 314 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,120 I can't help it. 315 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,560 I have a very raw, wild magic ability. 316 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,320 Do all goblins do this? 317 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,040 Nah, nah, some can. 318 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:51,920 You know, it's quite rare, but we've all got different things that we're good at and special 319 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,640 little gifts, I guess. 320 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:55,640 But my thing is... 321 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:56,640 Special little gifts? 322 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:57,640 Yeah. 323 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,640 I don't know if I can save this. 324 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:05,320 And he starts going through his flavorings. 325 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,240 Any bits that you want, I'll gladly... 326 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,920 I'll go and grab some mushrooms from around the place. 327 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,000 I do apologize for my random... 328 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:20,160 No, I don't know if I haven't had enough to deal with today. 329 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,160 It's been a shocker, hasn't it? 330 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:22,160 It really has, yes. 331 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:27,920 I mean, I might have thrown a spanner in the works, but you're all right. 332 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,920 There was no great column of fire 333 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:35,520 When we were fighting the mudboils, that would have been really useful. 334 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,920 You just started looking really, really like... 335 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,920 I don't know, pleased with yourself. 336 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,920 You started looking really healthy. 337 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:43,920 Yeah. 338 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:44,920 It's very... 339 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:45,920 What's the word? 340 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:46,920 Inconvenient? 341 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:47,920 Hazardous? 342 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:48,920 Borderline unfriendly? 343 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:49,920 Well, yeah, that's all good stuff, Tagk. 344 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:50,920 You know? 345 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:51,920 It gives me... 346 00:16:51,920 --> 00:17:08,240 What I'm getting from your reaction is this is entirely normal and could happen at any 347 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,240 time. 348 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:15,760 And sometimes it will be something that makes you look really healthy and sometimes it will 349 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:20,240 be something like a great jet of fire leaping up and ruining our tea. 350 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,960 Well, yeah, I'm not going to lie about it. 351 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,320 That can happen from time to time. 352 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:31,680 And if I get the opportunity, I'll give you a heads up. 353 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:37,840 I might not because it might be funny, but yeah, I'll give you a heads up, he says under 354 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,720 his breath. 355 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:47,360 This is something I got from when I was first created in the fungus glades. 356 00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:53,200 Before I found my community and family, this was a gift given to me. 357 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,760 My name actually relates to this. 358 00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:02,360 So you see I'm missing my arm and that's something I've never had and it's something I've never 359 00:18:02,360 --> 00:18:03,360 missed. 360 00:18:03,360 --> 00:18:04,360 Right. 361 00:18:04,360 --> 00:18:10,160 But Nix means like something lost for something gained. 362 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:18,680 So I always take it that that's what my Elders and my adopted family sort of called me because 363 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:24,000 you know, I didn't have my arm, but I had this other unique gift like given to me by 364 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,000 the earth. 365 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,000 That's beautiful. 366 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:34,960 So, Tagk listens to this and you see his face kind of softens and the irritation is replaced 367 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:41,360 by something else, which is like a surprise and then a kind of a respect. 368 00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:43,840 Yeah, yeah, cool. 369 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,840 We need to do your... the results. 370 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:52,200 We actually got your results of what happened with your wild magic surge. 371 00:18:52,200 --> 00:19:03,120 So your claw now has... plus one as a magical item to your claw to your mechanical hand. 372 00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:04,960 That's great. 373 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,200 And maybe in the future you can get some input on the mechanical side of things or find some 374 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,560 better gubbins to upgrade it. 375 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,400 Nix will be keeping an eye out for some shinies. 376 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:21,560 Your damage goes from 1d6 to 1d6 plus two. 377 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,560 Works for me. 378 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,560 [Outro] I don't know, Invisible Ears. 379 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:32,760 Not only is this stew looking rather burned, I'm a bit singed myself. 380 00:19:32,760 -->
