1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:20,880 Alright Podlings, Nix here. Welcome back to D&D Doo Doo Season 2, where we've headed 2 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:27,320 out into Meraki to support our Kobold friend Tagk, who's got some gold together to add to 3 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:33,640 his stash. Seems to me that everyone has a bit of clockwork inside them, something that 4 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:40,680 makes them tick. For me, it's exploring how tinkering and wild magic can work together. 5 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:49,100 For Sorlie, it's building his bushcraft base. And for Tagk, it's building up his shiny stash. 6 00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:55,960 We have a saying in the swamp, they're on a wobbly log about it. Tagk was on a wobbly 7 00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:03,560 log about travelling on his own, he wasn't sure he could do it. Luckily he's got me, 8 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:11,280 Fudgy and the small human child to come with him and help him out. We're on the road now, 9 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:16,800 but there's been a setback. The small human child realised he might not have turned off 10 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:23,440 the rudimentary hob, so he's had to go back to base to check it out. Fudgy's gone with 11 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:30,440 him, they shouldn't be long. In the meantime, me and Tagk are waiting at the river. As you 12 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:36,720 can imagine, Tagk has ants in his pants and wants to push ahead, so I'd better find a 13 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:43,040 way to distract him or he'll get in a riot tears. Luckily I remember him saying he likes 14 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:49,440 catching things, so I suggested we do a bit of fishing and he's agreed. Reckon we can 15 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:54,280 catch something, let's see how we D&D doodoo. Laters. 16 00:01:54,280 --> 00:02:04,000 The competition is on. Sorry, not everything needs to be a competition, but I think if 17 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,720 we're fishing... I'm alright with a bit of gentle competition. Let's see what you got 18 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:17,280 then. Alright. Four. What are you doing with that rod? Just like swishing it about in the 19 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:24,320 water. How do you put me a bit of bread on? Alright, stick a nice big juicy worm on the 20 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:33,000 end. Fling it out, see what happens. You get a bite. I've got something here, Tagk. What's 21 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:40,320 it? It's a crabbing. One is a little one, six is a big one. Crabbing, juicy, fishy. 22 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:46,400 Four. Oh, it's a big one. Right, now you roll one to one against the fish. You have to 23 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:52,440 do as many rounds as its size, so it's four rounds. It's quite a big fish. Okay, I think 24 00:02:52,440 --> 00:03:02,400 I've got a battle on my ends here, Tagk. Seven for the fish. Not twenty. Right, you fling 25 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:09,640 it straight, you yank it and it comes flying, no surprise. It's a flying fish. Lands a 26 00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:17,320 wap on the side of the bank. Blimey. That's a tap. I surprised myself. I'm feeling actually 27 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:22,080 quite peckish so I might just eat this one straight away. What about tea? It was supposed 28 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:27,800 to be for tea. Chomp, chomp, chomp. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, 29 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:35,120 oh. Tagk sighs and recasts his line. Right. Oh, this is great, Tagk. Nice bit of downtime. 30 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:40,720 He did say he wouldn't be long though, didn't he? Because I didn't want to get on. Oh yeah, 31 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:47,480 yeah, he's just nicked back. He's pretty swift, that small human child. I know what I'll do. 32 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:53,440 I'll gather some sticks to Tagke along with us so when we make camp we've got all the 33 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:59,840 sticks we need to just fling a fire together. That's great. Good thinking. I'll just stick 34 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:07,600 a little bell on your rod here so if you get a bite then you'll get a nice little dingle. 35 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:19,200 You already have a nice little dingle. Good stuff. He starts gathering sticks. So while 36 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:25,280 Tagk's going off finding a bit of kindling I'll get out my bits and pieces. I'll tie 37 00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:32,000 a bell to my own little fishing line as well. Right, so I'm going to lay out my pieces just 38 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:38,480 on a nice leather sheet. Nice. Just so I don't lose anything, you know. I'll separate out 39 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:46,040 all the big bits of the dragonfly automaton. Just get it all laid out and organized. I've 40 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:54,980 got me clawed mechanical arm that glows gently and I place it over a few of the larger pieces 41 00:04:54,980 --> 00:05:02,080 of glass embedded for the wings so I try and join a few of those up. Wonderful. OK, do 42 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:08,200 you want to roll? Yeah. Now it's a one or a two for a wild magic surge. Yeah, cool. 43 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:18,000 Four. Four! I was a bit close. But successful. It's lovely, you just sat cross-legged on 44 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:24,280 this little sandy bit soaking in the warmth. The sun's warmed up the sand and the sand's 45 00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:31,000 warming up your bottom as you sit there with your little travelling workbench basically, 46 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,760 isn't it, that you roll out your piece of leather. Yeah, that's right. And with the 47 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:44,600 aid of the magic and also just your tinkering skill you manage to reassemble the automaton. 48 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:51,000 Oh lovely. However, you do need to roll, roll a D6 to see how many pieces are left over 49 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:59,720 that you can't figure out where they go. Let's see. Five pieces. You know, you know they 50 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:06,440 were really useful at the time. I'll just have a bit of a scratch me an orange hair 51 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:12,160 but like where did these go again? It looks alright, everything appears to be attached 52 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:17,640 as it was. It looks great. So it's working now as a little, it's together as a mechanical 53 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:26,000 object but it has no magical life to it. Oh man, right. And the only way to do that is 54 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:33,080 to have some kind of natural high electrical charge like from a lightning strike or the 55 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:41,040 equivalent through magical means. Absolutely. But unfortunately, Nyx isn't of the level 56 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,600 that can do the necessary spell for that so you need to find another way to get it working 57 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:54,680 with someone else along the way or wait for a thunderous elemental knight. Just then you 58 00:06:54,680 --> 00:07:02,120 hear a jingling. Is it mine or Teg's? It's both of them. Teg, where are you? Get back 59 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:07,360 here. You've got a bite. Come in, come in. And he comes out with his bundle of sticks. 60 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:12,600 I'll wrap up my makeshift work bench. Yeah, your leather table. Yeah, my leather table, 61 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:21,800 get that all packed up. So we'll roll a d6 each for size. Tac gets a 3. Oh very nice. 62 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:31,160 Ooh. 3, 2 3s, right, ok. So if you roll for Tac's fish. Alright. Is that a... A d20 I 63 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:38,560 thought. D20. Ok so we've got 3 rounds each for these fish. Right. And Tac gets to do... 64 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:48,880 Plus 3, right. Hee! Says the black. 12, 15. Right. This is survival decks. For you it's 65 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:58,320 decks. Right. You're fishing fishy. Ooh 19. Right ok. Dirty 20. Tac gets away on the first 66 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:03,160 round. Oh, tac. Yeah, never mind. Oh blow it. You're not having much luck with these 67 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:15,160 fish. Alright so I'll roll for Nix's fish. Alright. Ok. 3. Oh I've got this. 10. Brilliant. 68 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:21,160 So ok, you're still in battle with the fish. Alright. Ok. Come on, come on Nix, to the 69 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:29,640 left. Alright. Oh 19 for the fish. Oh, it's got some strength this one. 2. It slips the 70 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:37,080 hook and it's gone. Oh, bad luck Nix. Oh never mind. That was a worthy battle. You honour 71 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:44,080 me fish. They are slippy fish. Did you eat all of that massive fish or is there a bit 72 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:51,280 left? There's a little bit left. What like head and tail? No I like the head. You like 73 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,920 the... So I think you've... There's like half with the tail. Yeah, the back end of the fish 74 00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:02,640 is still remained. The head's nice and crunchy. Love that bit. Are you a head or a tail Kobold? 75 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:07,680 Well, tail is what I'd normally be given. If I was lucky I'd get a little bit of the 76 00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:13,000 middle. There is a little bit of the middle isn't it? Fantastic. Yeah, I'll have a bit 77 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,280 of the middle. Oh you get stuck in. Well I'm going to save it for tonight. I'm going to 78 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:27,080 cook it up. Oh okay. Can you see I'm trying to save the fish. Survival I've got plus 3 79 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:33,000 so we're saving the fish. I'm glad you're around. I've collected the wood and pulled 80 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:39,800 the fish from your jaws. Unfortunately I can't catch a fish of my own. It's alright, you'll 81 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:47,240 get one. You'll get one. I'm glad you're around. You've got the good survival sense. Does something 82 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:53,000 I've been meaning to say really? What's that? Well you know back when we met and there was 83 00:09:53,000 --> 00:10:01,760 that big crazy night with grizzly bears and anacondas. Oh yeah, not half. Yeah, well and 84 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:07,920 then I was getting my gold out of the back of the wagon. That's right. And that's when 85 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:13,920 you came over and you were talking to me and just want you to know that I wasn't working 86 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:19,920 for the gleb because I wanted to. They'd captured me as well and they'd forced me to work for 87 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:28,000 them. I mean the gleb themselves, they employed the four of us but the two kobolds that had 88 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:33,920 the lassoos, they were in charge of me and Rigby. He was the one that got eaten by the 89 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:39,600 bear. Oh man. And we weren't allowed to leave and you couldn't really escape because they 90 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,520 were so really good at tracking so we were just kind of stuck there with them and they'd 91 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:49,200 Tagke all the best bits of gold and they'd say that they'd got the, if you caught a really 92 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:54,600 good animal for the Gleb's collection, they'd Tagke that one for themselves and they'd take 93 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:59,280 that to the Gleb and they'd get the best gold. I see. So that was why when everything kicked 94 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:04,240 off that night I thought that's it, I'm off, I'll have a go anyway. Yeah, yeah absolutely. 95 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:10,080 Well I'm absolutely thrilled to bits that we were there at that time and we got you 96 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:16,640 there. Those two, they were a nasty bunch. Yeah it was Djinn, she was like really, she 97 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:22,240 was really smart and like had all, really skillful but she just didn't care. And then 98 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:28,520 Dottie was not as smart as Djinn but was really strong, she was like the muscle and you put 99 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:34,560 them together, you couldn't do anything. Yeah that's a nasty combo. Maybe one day we'll 100 00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:40,880 meet them again, maybe balance the scales. Well we'll have you back Tagk. You look at 101 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,600 him and you see his bottom lip just kind of quivers a little bit and for a moment you 102 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:51,280 remember that very first meeting where you ended up doing patty back. Yeah, Nix puts 103 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:57,640 the hand on Tac's shoulder, say well you're not getting rid of us now are you. He sort 104 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,840 of draws himself up and looks quite pleased about that. Okay so he starts bundling up 105 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:07,040 the sticks nicely in a nice little bundle. I'll give him an end with that, let's get 106 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:13,400 this kindling bundled up. Do you know how to gut a fish? I'll give it a go, I usually 107 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:19,360 just like dive straight in. Do you want to show me? Alright then, yeah. He gets the back 108 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:24,960 end of the fish and he shows you how to gut it and he says so we'll take this bit for 109 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:33,240 tonight. Do you want these in us? Oh yeah, lovely. Right so. Very squishy. I sort of, 110 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:43,040 Nix throws it up in the air like a really squidgy bit of popcorn. Brilliant. Down the 111 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:51,160 hatch. So just then, rings again, third time. Ding ding. This is it, this is it. Round 112 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:57,440 three Tagk. I'm feeling lucky. Yeah. Right okay. Shall we do Tagk first? Yeah Tagk's got 113 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:04,200 a bite. Right. Three, it's come back. Oh he's come back for more. That three has come back. 114 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:13,720 Right okay. It's your time to shine. He takes hold of the rod and he gets ten. Right. So 115 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:22,720 you roll for the fish. Ten. Ten. Yeah, just about stays on I reckon. Right yeah. Okay 116 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:29,640 it rolls again. Ten. Ten so okay so that's thirteen this time. Alright get those feet 117 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:44,320 planted. Six. Six. He's still got the fish on. Come on. Come on. Heave. Heave. Heave. 118 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,240 Eighteen. Nineteen twenty twenty one. Oh. Come on this could be it. Right. I really 119 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:58,440 want a fish now. You've earned a fish. Six. Six. It's just a six. Yeah. So with a hoik 120 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:05,440 with his little ankles planted in the shingle, perhaps Nix is holding his bag. Yeah. Give 121 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:14,000 him a hand for sure. And a fish that is not a million miles shorter than the one that 122 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:23,200 Nix got is hoisted out of the water and lands flopping about on the bank. I did it. Yeah 123 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:30,920 you did. First time. Well done. Right let's get mine in shall we. Yeah. You've got to 124 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:36,960 do your D6 first. Oh yeah D6. See what size it is. How big we're talking. Three. Yeah 125 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:41,360 it's the one that's brought right. It's a size one. Type to do battle again. Scaly 126 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:53,560 beast of the deep. Sixteen. Sixteen plus one. Seventeen. Twelve. Still on the line. Come 127 00:14:53,560 --> 00:15:03,840 on. You aren't going anywhere fishy. Thirteen. Fourteen. Fifteen. It gets away. So I'm afraid 128 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:11,120 it just slips the hook and disappears with a very rude flick of its tail back into the 129 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:17,600 water. I'll be seeing you again fish. I'll give him the old dagger eyes. Oh yeah. But 130 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:22,920 you've got, you've now got one and a half fish. Great. Which you reckon will cook up 131 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:29,520 nicely into a stew this evening. Oh I look forward to that. Lovely. And just as you're 132 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:36,760 finishing off tidying up you look down back the way you've come and you see this little 133 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:42,800 fuzzy face charging towards you. Oh look at this little boy. And it's little Fudgy. He's 134 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,360 on his way back. Very happy to see you. Hello Fudgy. And then if you've got a little bit 135 00:15:47,360 --> 00:16:01,240 of fish. Oh here you go. Eat that. That's for tonight says Tagk. God's sake. It's fresh. 136 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:09,040 Right from the pond. And then further down the track again you see Sorlie trotting along 137 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:16,640 on his horse and giving you a wave. I'm back. It was a good job I went back to base. The 138 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:21,640 rudimentary hob was fine but when I passed the chicken coop I found Idiot wedged between 139 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:27,920 two rungs halfway up the ladder going up into the coop. Not sure how he managed that but 140 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,800 he did look sorry for himself. John and Jim were giving him a telling off too because 141 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:37,600 he was in their way. I pulled him out and fixed the ladder so they should all be fine 142 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:43,800 now until we get back. That's all for this episode so thanks for listening and see you 143 00:16:43,800 --> 00:17:09,920 next time.
