1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:18,880 Hello Invisible Ears, it's Tagk here. We're getting ready to leave so I can add my gold 2 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:24,960 to my stash. It's a big day for me. I've never shared the location of my stash with anyone 3 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:32,080 else before but when I left home my mums said to me, Tagk you can't trust everyone but that 4 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:38,480 doesn't mean you can't trust anybody. We could do with getting a move on though. I was up 5 00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:43,520 before sunrise working through my checklist. I thought there'd be three pairs of hands but 6 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:49,120 Sorlie is still in bed and Nix is only on his third breakfast so I'm just getting on with it myself. 7 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:56,640 Right, what do I still need to do indeed, Doodoo? Oh yeah, we had some snail mail. It read, 8 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:02,800 Please would you wish the Real Lee a happy birthday? Yes, with pleasure. Happy birthday 9 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:09,760 the Real Lee. I remember my birthday. Hundreds of us hatchlings tearing across the sand trying to 10 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:15,440 get to cover before the alligatross's ate us. I hope your birthday has a bit less existential peril. 11 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,600 Anyway, to the episode. I suppose you'll be wanting to hear about the weather. 12 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:28,720 So when you were sleeping last night and you heard the rain pounding down heavily on the roof of the 13 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:35,120 cabin it was a really heavy rain but come the morning it's just a light mizzle. In fact it's 14 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:41,840 quite refreshing. Tagk's rushing backwards and forwards, he's rolling up bedrolls, he's packing 15 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:48,960 up pots and pans, he's off to feed the horses. Alright everyone, how are we getting on? 16 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:56,000 I have not even got out of bed yet. It is very early, the sun has barely come up. 17 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:03,600 So basically like 5.30 then. I reckon, yeah. I shout upstairs, wakey wakey, eggs and bakey. 18 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:09,040 You've been at Sorlie's base for a while now and so there's a bit of a routine. Every morning 19 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:16,560 someone goes down to feed the chickens and see what eggs they've got. It's definitely very helpful 20 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,200 because I've just been on my own with this giant house to keep under control. Exactly. Well I love 21 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,360 feeding the chickens. Okay so feed the chickens, we're going to roll, see how many eggs you've got. 22 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:33,200 You roll a d6 and that's for next. We have five eggs. Five eggs, oh very good. Oh you beauties. 23 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:38,160 That's impressive out of three chickens. It is a bit of a mystery to me actually. What? 24 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:44,720 What the genders of these chickens actually are. They're like two are boys and one is a girl maybe. 25 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:50,400 Two are boys and one's a girl? Yeah. And you've got five eggs? Yeah. That poor woman. 26 00:02:54,160 --> 00:03:00,480 Two girls and one boy. She's got really sunken cheeks. You can have some extra. 27 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:07,760 Okay there are two girls and one boy, how about that? There's two girls and one boy? Yeah. Okay 28 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:16,000 so what's the boy called? The boy is idiot. Right and the girls are called John and Jim. Yeah. Fine. 29 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:26,000 Okay so you get on with your morning jobs, you gather for breakfast and you have your scrambled 30 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,120 eggs and porridge and you do that thing where you eat up all the stuff that's going to go off and 31 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:37,040 you pack up some provisions to take with you. Nick what would you like to take? 32 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:46,480 Yeah I'd like to take a 60 foot of hempen rope. Okay I'm gonna tell everyone I'm going to need to 33 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:53,520 go out. Okay cool. I'm gonna go out and get some sticks and some stones. Okay. Because I'm going 34 00:03:53,520 --> 00:04:01,920 to attempt to make some defense weapons for Nick's. Oh all right. Because Nick's only has that 35 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:09,760 mechanical hand. It's a pretty good hand though. It's got sharp claws on it. Yeah I think it would 36 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:16,480 be cool if that because it could go ching ching. Yeah all right then you're gonna make me a sword 37 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:21,200 or something. I think I'll probably make I think I might have an iron one lying around. That might 38 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:26,640 be one of my old swords. Well nothing too big just like a bit of a dagger might be nice. Yeah. 39 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:32,960 That'd be handy. Yeah it's sort of like a small sword sort of like that tall sort of thing. 40 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:39,280 Like a short sword. Yeah a short sword. Nice sword. Thanks very much. Yes I can search around and see 41 00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:45,360 if I can find one with the d20. So are you are you crafting one because you had smithing didn't you? 42 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:51,280 I tried to find one. Already at the lock cabin? Yeah because I can because to what I can remember 43 00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:58,160 I vividly remember having some sort of old sword. It seems reasonable that you'd have yeah okay do 44 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:05,840 want to um so that would be an investigate wouldn't it? So if you can get 12 or more you find something. 45 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:15,440 That looked like an 18. That was an 18 plus your intelligence plus one 19. 19. You found a fine 46 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:23,520 uh short sword. Yeah that it fits a swamp goblin very well. Is is this sword is this the one for me? 47 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:32,160 Yes. Oh man. It is. Good you honor me. You're welcome. I think it does need a little bit of 48 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:37,920 like a tune up because it is a little bit like gunky but I can use a little cloth and wipe it 49 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:45,840 make it shiny again. That's beautiful. This is very cool says Tagk. I feel I feel really well 50 00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:51,840 protected now. Oh we've got your back Tagk. What what about your dagger does it need a little bit 51 00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:59,360 of a look at? My dagger well it's all right I mean um the blade's okay yeah it's barely used to be 52 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:04,560 honest but I have been having a bit of trouble with the scabbard um you remember yesterday I couldn't 53 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,920 get my dagger free from the scabbard and hit myself in the face. Can I please have a look at it and see 54 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:16,240 if I can like yeah sure yeah please and he hands it over to you. Now do I roll to see what I can 55 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:23,520 find? Yeah okay so let's say another investigate. There you go seven. Seven okay plus one. Seven eight. 56 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:29,200 So you kind of have a good look around but you can't at the moment really you have a bit of a 57 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:34,720 jiggle you put a bit of oil you know a bit of um what kind of oil would you use? I'd use just like some like 58 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:41,440 buff sort of oil. You've got some special buff buffy material yeah. That's why I used for my sword. 59 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:48,000 I think you're like well what it needs is it needs a um a particular sort of wax treatment that the u 60 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,480 bear sells but you don't have any in at the moment so you just have to. Oh yeah also there's something 61 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:59,200 which I wanted to do I wanted to call those snowball people and ask how I can get this wonder frost 62 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:05,680 to combine with my sword. Oh because I don't want to be fighting but then I need it but I don't want 63 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,880 to be putting my sword away ever try to find my wonder frost and then poke them like it'll be 64 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:17,600 pretty hard so I'm thinking of like combining it. Do you want to ask them then? Okay I probably have 65 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,320 to shake the snow globe so we like go and walk over. So you're going over to the mantle piece yeah 66 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:28,800 where the snow sprites um snow globe is and and Nick's just like slowly peers over 67 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:34,880 the small human child's shoulder and goes shaky shaky flaky flaky. 68 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:45,280 You shake the globe you say your words the snow inside the globe starts to swirl and twinkle and 69 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:54,240 then um Tagkk suddenly leaps to his feet and goes it's the white doom. You notice that the 70 00:07:54,240 --> 00:08:00,800 missile in the sky has turned to these really really soft little snowflakes. Okay then I run 71 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:10,000 outside with fudgy and then I go and say what are their names? Um Skift the bobo. The snowflakes 72 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:16,960 swirl around and form into you see um the the familiar faces of your three friends 73 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:23,760 Sposh with his clipboard Skift with her flowing icicle dressed and Gru going 74 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:32,320 Okay. Soly how are you? I'm doing all right I just wanted to ask you about the wonder frost. 75 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:40,960 Yes. Do you know how I can possibly combine that with my elemental sword? So that um the 76 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:49,360 the charge of the wonder frost would come from your sword? Yes. Interesting and you see um Sposh 77 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:55,840 sort of going through the pages on his clipboard and and while he's looking Skift says where's 78 00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:03,760 Nix? Nix is here and I'm over here catching snow and I'm just running around with fudgy eating 79 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:12,320 snowflakes. Good point says Sposh he's a tinkerer isn't he and he uses well magic. That's right. 80 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:18,480 Yeah he does. I'm sure that he could he could tinker away um maybe if he were to grind down 81 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:24,000 the wonder frost in some way. Yeah that's what I thought I'm down I don't know if I can put it in 82 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:31,600 in one of the like engravings in the sword. Yes well I would also what happens? Well I would say 83 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:38,720 it's certainly possible but it isn't guaranteed it would be successful. Have you tried using um the 84 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:45,440 wonder frost? Let me let me says Gru. I'll do it I'll show you. Then he comes over. Okay and then 85 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:51,120 I go past the wonder frost to him. Okay so what you do is you hold it like this you point it at 86 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:57,040 the thing you want to send frost damage to and then like he kind of swings his arm around and 87 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:02,880 everyone puts their hands over their head no no Gru no no. So what could you what could we give him? 88 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:09,520 Um use a like a bit of old log or something. Yeah go and poke that log. The training log you've 89 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:14,720 probably got a little training area haven't you with your straw man and your yeah go and just go 90 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:22,640 and attack these the straw man. Great okay are you ready? Yeah ready one two three. And he swings his 91 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:31,200 arm and this charge of icy light bursts from the tip of the wonder frost. Oh check that out. Hits 92 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:38,880 the straw man and and the straw man is suddenly covered in hall frost. Okay so you mean so you're 93 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:45,040 saying that I can throw it yeah like that you can make it can make giant like ice structures going 94 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:50,160 on. Yeah it's dead easy you'd be fine. We're not giant ice structures we're still in a little wonder frost. 95 00:10:53,840 --> 00:11:02,640 I'll take that again. Okay yeah. Got a mint mint tea. I thought I was bad. I have some mint tea nearby. 96 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:10,000 I mean you can get ones that are much more powerful than this. This is like a starter one really. 97 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:17,200 Okay it can sort of give a light a light icy charge and do a little bit of ice damage. So yes 98 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:22,080 you could you could just use it like Gru showed you um but if you wanted to there's nothing to 99 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:29,040 stop you combining it with your sword or having a go. Can I like wave it at water and turn it into ice? 100 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:35,040 Well what would happen says Skift is it would freeze an area and round about a meter across. 101 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:41,200 Wow that's cool so if there's like a water area which I want to check to get over I can just wave 102 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:47,520 it and make a bridge. Oh that's cool. Are we going to use the wonder frost as it is or are we going 103 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,960 to try to combine it with your sword? I'm going to try and combine it. All right I'm up for that. Okay 104 00:11:52,960 --> 00:12:00,480 let's do this. Okay so before you start um sposh skift and Gru wave goodbye and they swirl up into 105 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:10,080 the sky. See you later thanks very much small elemental kids. Nix is um going to try and do 106 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:17,760 some tinkering here on your wand and now just bear in mind that he's a wild magic sorcerer which means 107 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:25,360 there's a chance if he rolls um well it starts at one if he rolls a one this time then a random 108 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:33,520 wild magic effect will follow but next time he casts magic it will be a one or a two. A spontaneous 109 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:41,360 chaotic something or other as I like to call them. Okay so I think maybe if we uh do this first part 110 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:49,040 together which is to grind up this wand. How like solid is it? Well let's give it a go shall we? 111 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:58,160 If we're gonna do it we need to be fully committed. The wand is a slightly it is quite brittle 112 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:05,200 um so yeah it is grindable. Right let's get to it. Okay let's get to it. Grindy grindy. Grindy 113 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:13,760 grindy. Grind I want a dust. Grind grind grindy grind the dust. Okay so you grind it up and you 114 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:21,920 have this little bowl of icy it's like icy sand sparkling. I put a few extra little powders and 115 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:27,920 chemicals of my own device in just to add to the magical effect. You've probably got a kind of 116 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:33,840 magical epoxy that you can use that will help some. So do you want me to pour it onto a sword? 117 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:40,560 Yeah let's uh. I go in and I'll un-sheath it and then suddenly writing and it starts to glow 118 00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:46,960 because I'm holding it from its hand. Yeah. This is very cool is it safe? Yeah. Tag sort of goes. 119 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:54,560 Oh I hope not. Oh okay. No don't it's fine. It backs away. It'll be alright Tag. Come and have a look. 120 00:13:54,560 --> 00:14:01,440 Yeah I'm fine here I watch from over here. Okay that's fine yeah. Right you are. If if if a small 121 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:09,280 human child is giving me a help do we get any? Yeah so we can roll with advantage then. Cool 122 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:16,720 if you want to you roll using your dice as well. Ready three two one roll. 13. Avoid worms. 15. 123 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:25,200 13 and 15 that's very respectable. And I got a plus three tinkering. Brilliant wow it does 124 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:33,760 and the ice ice crystals glow and you can see them it's almost like they sort of melt into the 125 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:41,280 engravings and it sort of flows through it like water and then for a moment your entire sword goes 126 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:52,960 and crackles over with frost and then fades and you know that the charges of the wonder frost 127 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:59,280 and now within your sword. Okay so then do you want me to go and try then? Well I'll just let 128 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:07,120 you know your wonder frost comes with five charges. So I'm sure you'll get a chance to use it. Yeah 129 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:13,360 you know I'm sure. We're on an adventure and this is a great way to start. That was actually really 130 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:19,760 cool. I thought it like that. Yeah it's alright I feel alright it's a bit of a roller coaster already this morning. 131 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:26,400 Okay so can I... Don't worry about it. Can I walk outside? You're fully prepared we've got you. Can I walk 132 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:34,640 outside with a sword just go and see what happens. You can but you will use up your charges and then 133 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:40,160 you won't be able to use them again. Yeah just that's true. Wait until we're in battle kid. That is true okay. 134 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:50,000 Yeah. I've been checking my chaotic crystal my seeing crystal for my dragonfly automaton. Okay. 135 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:56,160 But I can't see anything it's been ages now I don't know whether someone's nicked it or it's got 136 00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:02,400 damaged every now and then I get like a fuzzy image and it's like in a dark place just like jiggling 137 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:09,680 around. So I don't know I'm probably gonna have to start from scratch. Something different has 138 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:19,280 happened to it unfortunately. Do you remember what happened with the dragonfly? Yeah. I'm sorry but it got destroyed. 139 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:29,360 What? How did that happen? You didn't break it did you? The elemental squished it like something. Oh what? 140 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:35,280 That's pretty cool. It thought that it would pet it because it liked it because it landed on him 141 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:41,840 and then it just broke. All right didn't have its own strength. I doubt it I'm sure that it can definitely be fixed. 142 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:48,320 What's left of it? I go into my back pocket. You're not in your back pocket all this time? 143 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:56,880 Well thanks for bringing it back. I appreciate that. Oh wow that's a great mess of bits. Yeah. 144 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:04,160 Yeah. Squished by an elemental not many people can say that. That is cool I'd say. 145 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:12,080 Well how about we take everything we need to have a go at fixing that once we're on the road. I really want to get going. 146 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:18,800 Absolutely. We're all good. Yeah let's do it. Let's go. Okay so I go and get Fudgy and then I bring 147 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:28,960 a big rope and like a box which has wheels on it and then I attach it to the horse. Fudgy gets in the box 148 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:37,680 and it's a little car. I'm for the dog trailer. Fudgy caravan. Your dog does have legs you know. 149 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:44,320 Yeah I know but we'll be galloping along and Fudgy won't be able to keep up. All right. 150 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,360 All right Fudgy move over. I think there's room for two in here. 151 00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:54,880 No you're all right. Do you have to fight over that at times? Yeah. Well when he's got a bit of energy you can go 152 00:17:54,880 --> 00:18:03,840 scout ahead and see what's about as well. Lovely. Right crew let's hit the road. Yeah hit the grass path. 153 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:12,880 That's it for this week. We're all suited and booted now. I've got this fine short sword to try out 154 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:20,320 and the small human child sword is charged up with icy power. Yeah it was really good to see those 155 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:27,600 snow sprites again too. Yeah that's an idea. What if we tuck them along with us? You never know when 156 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:34,400 skills like theirs will come in handy. There's the globe on the mantelpiece. All right I'll put it in 157 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:42,720 my knapsack. Uh what? Well you look at that. It's frozen to the mantelpiece. I'll try my super strong 158 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:52,560 mechanical hand on it. Nah frozen stiff. I reckon this globe is staying put. Oh well never mind. 159 00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:59,920 Hang about. Sully and Taka getting on their horses. Looks like we're heading off. All right gang. 160 00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:12,800 Catch you later.
