hi guys very excited to be here for this lovely amazing session zero we're going to be going over
our setting we're going to be going over our characters and talking a little bit more in
depth of what you can expect of this campaign happening this next season here on the grouch
couch love death and dice this very very exciting shit we've been planning this for goodness i don't
know what seems like months we've had ideas and shit in our head so it's like at least six months
we've been very exciting moment for all of us to finally be able to talk about this stuff and do
the things it's so exciting now if you're listening over there on youtube or on spotify first of all
thank you so much for listening make sure to give the show a rating and also feel free to skim
through here and have some fun and listen here to the session zero it's not required to listen to
the session zero to enjoy the rest of the campaign but we will summarize best what we can here at
the beginning of this session zero so you can then move on to episode one which has not happened yet
for us um but i bet hello future person listening to this who's there's like what do you mean there's
like it hasn't happened yet they're looking at six episodes that's how you that's how you break
things you can't talk to the future time is wibbly wabba you can't talk to the future like i break
things in the present that's that's how i roll imagine your power in the future i'm just saying
you gotta be careful you don't realize the power that you wield within the palm of your hand
uh the power i wield in the palm of my hand is a broke ass thumb is what i i currently wield in the
palm of my hand that's not the palm of your hand that's your broadcast thumb totally different
i don't know it does it does like the cast does kind of go over the palm of my thumb a little bit
but i do enjoy how you're like characterizing it as like a special attack or something you've
activated my trap card broken thumb that's right that's right um so as we discovered on sidequesters
i think it's smart for me to explain the setting and what exactly we're going to be doing before
we get into characters it makes it a lot easier to then talk about characters and stuff like that
and uh if any of you guys here in chat have any questions for these guys about their characters
please make sure to shout out and let us know because that's what we're here for that's what
today's for to answer any questions we might have and yes in spotify this is live stream this sunday
at 4 p.m pst so i love death and dice here on our sunday show we like to play through dnd source
books we do it's a fun thing at least i like to do it um but what we usually always do is we take
these source books and create them something of our own i have this feeling that if you're not
recreating these source books and making them more tuned to your character stories they're just not
you're not doing it right so we've played oh frido frido bandito yeah hey guys won't be able

g's and stuff like that um and uh we have a whole list of these books that we've played through

wild beyond the witch light i feel like that should be fucking obvious um this is a very
cheers but uh cheers another world cheers friends i already drink i'm gonna have to pee so bad yeah
um it's not obvious we're doing this this is a very whimsical out of the box adventure about
fairies and carnivals and other kinds of crazy stuff and we're gonna be coming up with and
creating together chat a lot of really fun whimsical ideas and things for this adventure
i love the idea of fairies and carnivals and it's right the fuck up our alley right here on
love death and dice it's literally what we were looking for there was a whole other adventure
we were gonna play and then i stumbled across this one and was like why haven't we done this yet
who are we so that's what we're getting into now let me just set the scene for a second i'm
gonna read just a little excerpt from this book before i allow these guys to start talking about
their characters right the traveling extravaganza blah blah blah fuck let me take that back one more
time the traveling extravaganza known as the witch light carnival visits intoxica once every eight
years our characters have a dim memory of sneaking into the carnival or even being left there as a
child without paying for a ticket that memory has grown foggy over time though it still conjures a
weird ad mixture of emotions and wonder and whimsy and awe mixed with loss and regret
during their childhood visit each one of them their characters lost something and they are
trying to find it the carnival owners are a pair of elves named mr witch and mr light and they
are decidedly unhealthy there we have it just a little just a little taste all right it goes on
i'm not gonna fucking read the whole thing right now so i'm vibing with that music so hard
yes you could leave that playing the whole time and i'd be so happy
hell yeah oh do you know do you know if the soundtrack aloha disney hello aloha disney new

new so the last we didn't even know how to play the other ones before we learned together we
learned together we played icrpg which is really similar but we are going straight up back to dnd
5e for this campaign of course um i mean last time it was fun i combined water deep dragon heist with
icrpg and it made it a lot of fun but i'm just excited just to get right back into the gold
classic you know i think it's gonna be real good bro uh the thing didn't play forge we have just
been rated has to be uh five people or more doesn't go off but we love forge wonder who it's from
yeah it's from forge thanks forge cheers cheers buddy

campaigns which i haven't started on yet but i have the idea in my head and it's
should be fun that's really cool i love collaboration so you guys um that's our
setting in a fucking nutshell and i have more things that we're gonna go over um but for those
of the folks listening on spotify and they just want to get everything in the nutshell i'm gonna
go ahead and skip back and we'll do some more details on that later for now though we're going
to talk about our characters a little bit i would like for each one of you guys we're just going to
do like a quick little summary of what you're going to be playing and then we actually have
some questions welcome to the nerd herd you dang nerd what time is it it's time to not say fuck
then a word yeah fuck i love that you do so much oh you make me want to cry i hate you so much
so um we're gonna get quick summaries and then i have a whole list of questions that i ask these
characters about on our sessions your thing we're also going to talk about some of our home
rules and things that we do what the fuck fuck i love you john tron um we're gonna be talking
about that stuff uh that means i have to that means i have to drink that was genuine fear that
just happened i was not expecting that uh so that's what we're gonna do and we also have some videos
and other kinds of things and i do have some pictures to reveal costumes that we're going
to be showing towards the end here so be excited for that shit you guys yeah now on side questers
fish you got to go first so we're gonna make connor go first connor would you like to tell
us a little bit god about your character well everybody um uh thanks to popular demand over
the years i'm finally playing a bard i'm playing a bard finally everybody everybody was telling me
when i was playing reggie like you should have fucking played bard man you should play bard and
then and then from then on it was everybody everybody's like when are you gonna play a bard
when you're gonna play and i just kept saying like oh next season maybe next season next season and
now i'm finally doing it so uh yeah i am going to be busting out some musical instruments and stuff
like that and on the spot making up songs as shit happens as well as a few prepared songs that i
already am working on to bust out um so that'll be super fun and i'm also uh going outside the
comfort zone on race for this season because i don't think i've ever played like a super
interesting race before right you know yeah i've always just been like a human or a masked human
noid type thing i'm going completely different i'm going with fairy listen up y'all my guy is
two feet nine inches tall is i said settle on two feet nine i think so yeah two feet nine yeah i am
motherfucking tiny so that should get me into some hijinks too um
um as uh as far as uh like uh another reveal about the character i am going very unique with
the accent this season uh frog toy said what kind of bard a smutty one a oh muddy 100 i think is the
answer to that question absolutely if you're going if you're going bard like i'm my goal for
this season is to make this character sluttier than reggie was yes it's a high point um the first
main drunks and dragons campaign was reggie so that's finally come full circle here we are also
i would like to ask because i don't know the answer to it canonically do we have any sort of like
specific accents for fairies no no can can the can we make the specific accent mine at least in
the region that you're from which we'll have to come up with um but you could like make up a region
in the feywild that the fairy is from and that those people from there speak like that yes okay
cool well i'm just gonna go ahead and reveal it just so you guys know it's gonna be like a very
german like if you guys know uh flula it's gonna be like that guy's accent so um it's gonna be very
interesting i think to see and how it develops what are some other interesting things about my
guys so far uh we'll get into it though we'll get into it i think that was a good quick summary
i think it was and then also yeah i got i got the r name stuff down again his name is reiner
mm-hmm those are guys who haven't paid attention every single character that connor's ever played
or created their name started with an r so reiner the bard fairy um speaks in a german accent um
yeah yeah very good okay uh violet fems you're next what's up what's up uh so hi uh
uh going for my first real real real time campaign of things i had i had so many things that i wanted
to be but uh turkey made an excellent point and said be what your wife wants to bang so i decided
did i say that yes uh and so i so i became carlac and chose a tiefling uh i chose a tiefling
character named violet fems uh she is very hickish uh she's she's got she has an accent i have
colloquially called wingy dang dang and she's gonna be a paladin yeah wingy dang dang uh which
i feel like yes by the end of this you'll have to come up with your own kind of like dialect
and then like tieflings from wherever you're from like or whatever we decide
speak wingy dang dang like that's there has to be like a dialect like words and shit um yeah oh i i
okay we got this uh but yeah she's a paladin uh she's she's that's that's what she's gonna be
or a paladin as she would call it uh and unlike connor who at two foot nine inches uh violet is
six foot ten so she's three sizes the size of reiner that's uh she's she big she tall she big
death by snooze new but big lady but extra dumb yeah she big old death by snooze new yeah that's
i think that's that's what that's what i got there i think i think that pretty much covers violet
all right fair enough okay moving on to dr hops that's right baby uh my character is going to be
called helios hops he is a herring gone cleric um he is going to love the power of life and everything
that comes with it uh he is also very small actually the same height as connor's character
we're both small small characters with a big old lady so this is how we plan to be safe um
i'm very excited to play helios hops he's he's gonna be a little crazy i think he is too he's
gonna be fucking insane um even the character development since you got the costume i feel like
has evolved and i but i feel like you you've already come to a really good place um that i'm
actually excited for um and if you guys are familiar with billy the wizard and side quest
shenanigans i believe we're bringing divination crystals back into the question and the story
here oh yes yeah um fun little tidbit that i didn't get to tell you about but i actually got
to play test him a little bit this morning with nate in a small little group with big tilly and
his wife uh playing dr hops and we did a little one-shot campaign and uh it was great he had
he did great and i cannot wait to hit like six level if we ever make it to that point because
dr helios hops can do some fucking shit it's gonna be great
so i'm very excited like that's all mechanical right that's all dnd mechanics and stuff but i
actually got to play my character a little bit i even dressed up because i was like cool they
asked me to come and play that was like hour and a half i was like okay i'm gonna do this
play that was like hour and a half i was like oh fuck yeah man i was like gives me a chance to
like play test my character away from everybody else and kind of like fumble and deal with how i
want to go about it and it's gonna be very exciting um we got some questions some questions uh gala
said uh i want uh violet irl yes is um pizza death gonna carry the other two around i feel like that's
gonna happen at least a little bit there may or may not be already art of probably exactly that
that's uh that's true you have the sketch fairy can carry themselves that's not fair
take a look at it or front and back baby carriers
i might have to draw that now yeah no i was thinking it would be kind of cool if violet did
have like a like almost like a shoulder pauldron that had like a platform on it that i could stand
on that's like a little bit of part of the armor and stuff just for like art purposes and shit
but that's you know that's fair i mean she does wear shoulder pauldrons that is and i can see
you can fly yeah you're not wrong i want to do here this this other promo that we're going to be
sharing this week and all you guys in chat if you see this promo when we share it with the campaign
goes live please for the love of god share it around um but here's what we've come up with here
is now that they've explained their characters a little bit here's um you know a little bit of um
what they look like here um very very exciting there we go there you go yuki that answers your
question of course there is of course there is i can't play a harry gun and not to have the
fucking mask to back it up with yeah we got a bunny mask this season it's a bunny yeah look
if i if i state what race i'm playing you know i'm best believe in trying to look as close to it as
possible oh yeah dude oh yeah um so i'm very excited for all three of these characters
um from the practice improvs and all the other things that we've done i think you guys are going
to kill and i think this is just going to be so hilarious and so much fun and um yeah
okay well shall we get into the questions
do you think i'm digging it down yeah yuki doesn't like masks that's that's why yuki only comes in
very shortly usually i'm sorry i'm sorry i didn't know that's okay yuki is a wholesome
bean and we love yuki on my stream yuki comes and watches all my art and my music and stuff
hopefully erase it never says fuck there you go jeez here's moby um i hope you drink now
because you said it cheers yes all right so there's that um we're going to get into some
questions now um about everything and all these guys's characters these are a little bit more
in sidequesters would be safe for them yes like questers every thursday there is no masks one on
thursdays yeah um makeup game each campaign dude i swear to god makeup game got stepped up dude
um 3d makeup there you go there you go so the bible there you go so we're gonna ask some more
in-depth questions of these guys um there's only a couple of them i believe there's like eight
um something like that these we're gonna ask them questions and while we're asking we're gonna kind
of develop characters a little bit more together and start writing out some more stuff here and if
you guys in chat have any questions like follow-up questions shit like that make sure to shout them
out um because that's what we're gonna get into so um continuing on clockwise for this show
connor where's your character from my character was born and raised in the fey wilds um
what did i have for this
yeah born and raised in the fey wilds like in a in a small village of fairies there
there and they come up with a name for that village are finishing my last drink and need sleep
cigarettes pretty uh okay proteus where is uh violet fems from so i i honestly that we can talk
about this is doesn't have to be set in stone i just picked it because it was fun to say
in the accent uh and i wanted something kind of swampy in your water on the intoxica map so uh
i picked the wolf moon lagoon as where violet grew up nice you want to say it in the accent how fun
is it wolf moon lagoon nice nice that's fair
that's fair work more often too i don't know i didn't play too you know
where's dr hops from uh dr hops is also from the fey wilds but oh
connor are you okay is it me jesus it's me jesus that is oh no for you i could fix it for uh i i
can do it i can do it i'm a big brave girl uh dr hops as a young bunny grew up in a single
parent home with a drunk father uh until we'll get to later but he grew up in a tiny little shack
in the fey wilds kind of like an unnamed i don't know the name of it yet but i feel like at some
point in this season we're gonna find out uh i think that your answers are making me very happy
fishy because i feel like it's it's it's solving some bond things for you and your character in
mind so i like it i like that answer oh yeah oh yeah um what i will say uh this fey wild village
full of german fairies um if you guys in chat have any ideas for names of those feel free to
use name suggestions throw them out there and if connor wants to pick any of them they can all
right but moving on to the next question how did your character spend their childhood reiner
um my character basically like he was very much um a go outside kind of lad uh he was very
connected to nature so he'd spend his childhood days roaming the forest and singing songs to
little animals and shit like that pretty cute stuff nice pretty pretty innocent starting out
but then something happened we'll get to that later okay we already thought about violet uh i
have that uh despite how she is now when she was a kid she was actually quite studious and like
to reading like she was a little bookworm uh yeah there is reasons for that uh a bit too later
yes is she what about hops what's his first name helios helios helios helios hops
um after the circus left him in intoxica as a small bunny he roamed intoxica wilderness for
only a short time until his great teacher madrick brought him to the temple of life where he taught
at and raised him and taught him how to be a life cleric and the knowledge and pursuit of life
life yeah hell yeah next question oh goodness there's a lot of text on this here dang uh let
me see come up with two characters from your past name them and tell us how you're connected to them
who are your connections rhino well i have uh my parents uh
that i for the life of me i can't remember the name of
how was it gonna say hops rabbits here's some more rabbits
hey hey hey rabbit cheers for the dad joke fuck
um i have i have my parents name written down on my character sheet so they're obviously someone
i'm connected to in the past but i also have a very prevalent mentor um her name is selena
tracks she is a gnome bard and um do i need to expand on that or we're gonna find out more
about that later tell us more about as much as you want about her is this how you okay so basically
the story goes um selena tracks found me wandering through the fey wild singing animals and stuff she's
like hey i'm a gnome bard i like singing music too you know what you could also do with music
convince people to have sex with you and then that's what happened so she uh taught me the
ways of the bard um and then she i you know she just took me on as uh her her student that uh
she also did things with but anyway another person from my past this is a more recent pass
since i came to intoxica from the fey wilds is drollo bone smasher he's a bone smasher exile
and he's mad at me because i had relations with his girlfriend mina bellows good
mina bellows good i love these names you came up with all these on your own
yeah well mina bellows good below's good um yeah
yeah never mind i was trying to go for with some word i take yeah yeah compliment yeah but there's
good there you go um so yeah uh for sure there's definitely a guy out there named drollo that
fucking hates me nice that looks good is drollo from the fey wild or would he be in intoxica no
no he's from intoxica he's part of the bone smasher clan or at least he was until he got exiled
nice okay exiled for having sex with below's good all right fair enough uh violet who are
your two characters that you're connected to i chose uh mazzie fems uh it is one of violet's
many sisters because violet has a very large tiefling family uh and this is the only sibling
that she has had contact with since returning to intoxica after being part of the carnival
uh and trisha carver who is a uh dryad druid who works as a fortune teller at the carnival
and they were her caravan slash roommate while traveling with the carnival
yeah i love that so they might still be there right um yeah you guys aren't currently like
in big time connections with the carnival because you've been spending at least the last eight
years inside of intoxica the carnival's not there but whenever you go back maybe there who knows
yeah i i had it i have it in her backstory that uh so uh that that violet traveled with the carnival
for yes exactly correct uh uh but no i had it that violet actually traveled with the carnival for
like the last eight years and is once it reached intoxica the last time that's when she left and
then it's been another eight years since nice okay perfect perfect okay is she who are dr hops's two
characters the first one being magic the old wise cleric that took me in and raised me and
starting to teach me to be a clerical i don't want to say monk but a clerical perk bunny
yes and then the second person is my evil i wouldn't uh maybe not evil but he's definitely
got some type of evil hubert hops my deadbeat father that left me at the circus but in like a
different time spans of like proteus like definitely two cycles before been like i've been
in toxica for most of my life i i don't really know anything about the fey wild like i've heard
of the circus and was going to go to it uh but wasn't able to make it there in time to be able
to like attend the circus so i'm always like chasing it trying to get to it but i've never been able
to actually like get to the get back to the circus oh yeah uh certifiable said acolyte disciple
clerical disciple yeah i like that one thanks thanks certifiable
okay those are really good those are really good um now next one is what exactly was your
character doing before they met the party reiner well reiner has been spending his most recent
years hanging out in taverns and trying to find people to warm his bed at night
so i was gonna ask you do you think reiner like goes town to town or is there like a main
yeah he's a he's a traveling like free spirit kind of dude and just roams the land
fucking as he goes drink
son of a fucking as he fucking as he goes fucking as he goes
oh are you fucking now
oh get used to that i said i have any connection issues can somebody tag me with a link when this
hits spotify you bet i can frog toys you bet i can um show it's good traveling tavern of taverns so
that's what we're doing before you met the party so have we decided if you guys meet reiner inside
of a tavern i think that's what we had kind of agreed on that's what i wrote down yeah
uh yeah that's kind of like what we thought of uh i definitely know dr hops keeps them around
because like his music definitely soothes the shaking
the shaking you guys will learn more about that later but the shaking okay so here's a difficult
one actually that we're going to talk about now and this is how um hops and violet met um we
have in our minds they were together before they met reiner um and we already know that hops is
kind of established at this life cleric kind of temple with madrick um at least whatever madrick
is doing um but where did you guys meet each other
while you're thinking about that there was actually um a name of thing that i really liked
reiner certifiable said leader garden literally song garden in german
leader garden leader garden
leader garden yeah i like that
yeah i like that
let's do it leader got sure but i'm just gonna eat a garden
remember all right reiner from the fey wild could this from askewity be how he
recharges his arcane energies like is a bard he's got a book to get his his magical prowess
of course it could be not his mojo
they fucking stole my mojo recharges the mojo uh yeah so um proteus's character was running from
somebody right you were running away uh you were hurt yeah so i actually kind of fleshed this out
a little bit on my on my thing was um for how i joined what i was doing before i joined the party
um so i have about eight years ago violet struck out from the circus to find uh after she found
out that she wasn't left at the carnival she didn't get lost at the carnival her parents sold her to
the carnival for booze money uh and she she essentially struck out from the carnival when
she found the contract stating what she was signed away for and swore vengeance on her family but then
once like so she left the carnival once it reached intoxica again but realized she really didn't
remember how to get home and kind of had like a panic being all alone by herself and stumbled upon
the life church with uh dr hops like meeting dr hops and kind of learning how to like heal and
stuff like that and really bonding with dr hops there and then the reason for her going back to
the carnival is to try and be like all right where do i go like trying to get more information because
she might have she's realizing with how little memory she has she doesn't know how like she needs
more information for who how she was left and yeah
because like you were left there and then you spent time there like working with the carnival
like your parents sold you that right like you said um so eventually you're just like well i'm
gonna go off on my own and then you're like shit how the fuck do i get home or are you saying how
do you get back to the carnival uh no no she's so she was trying to get back home but realized she
didn't know how to get back home so now she's searching out the carnival again to figure out
what other information she can get from anybody she used to work with to find her way back home
essentially i forgot my i forgot my like my phone at home and i gotta go home for it
but you can only go home once every eight years uh
what do you think about that phone i've been searching for that phone and i've been looking
for that phone but i've not been looking for that fucking phone and then she just comes up and says
i've been working for that phone and i've been losing my shit trying to find that phone so i can
go home but i'm not really sure if i'm really actually wanting to go home because i don't know
what i'm supposed to be going home to i don't know where home is like the life church is really home
like this is home now yeah so i don't i don't know like i know we talked on reasons of why we're
going to be doing this but i definitely don't think that the end goal is to stay in the fey wild
i think it's definitely a soul search kind of moment go and find out where i'm from what's my
heritage where like where do like heringons even reside what's the culture like stuff like that
and then probably be like yeah i'm gonna go back to the life church go back to magic and go back
to doing my life there
so how do we think so she wandered into the church do you think that's how you guys just met
she wandered into the church and i imagine she was like big squish or very like i'm hungry and
she's really hungry really big so dr hoss he just feeds and then like so i actually i actually have
it written down a couple of things later part of the reason why she's uh i i feel like she stumbled
into the life church and essentially bonded herself to them like to dr hobs because she's so used to
having a she had a big family she lived with the carnival had big carnival and then struck out on
her own and uh girl got abandonment issues true she like i i have for her like what's her fear is
essentially being alone and abandoned because it's you know now been twice that that's happened
so essentially like striking out her own being like i'll be fine i'm a big brave girl and then
realizing no no not big brave not you know what i need i need friends and companions and stopping
essentially the first place she found being the life church and then you know like being like i
i cannot stay here i i we need somebody to chop wood yes wood wood chop yes wood chop yes big ass
lady shows up um cool that's fun so then i only have one single follow-up question which is what
fun so then i only have one single follow-up question which is for us to determine exactly
where the carnival was last maybe where it'll show up again it was obviously nearby to this
life church or where madrick resides at the very least where exactly fishy do you want to say that
that is i didn't want to set a setting for magic's temple because i feel like that's something we
should all discuss as a as a as a whole because i feel like like uh where if the circus was going
to come somewhere on the map where would it come from and then we could just place a life church
pretty close to it i mean we have the funds it's okay we have the resources the materials we'll
just make believe a little bit and it'll be done it'll be great life church boom you know i'm
thinking that way i get like a straw cotton bed and it doesn't have to be big it could be quite
tiny and maybe like a nice little carrot garden and then there's like wood that needs to be chopped
but i'm too tiny to do it and magic's too old so that's when like violet comes very useful for us
and it's like oh all we have to do is basically close let her stay and feed her and she'll help
take care of us too and then she expresses that she wants to be a paladin and starts wanting to
learn how to heal people and that's when i'm like oh life church oh i feel like that yeah that just
comes you know hand in hand that's perfect yeah yeah um we've got all these places what sticks out
to you uh you said wolfman lagoon was pretty close i feel like we've done so much in meat harbor and
soggy bottom and like can we hit a different part of the map are we going to be on this map very long
before we head to the fey wild and is the fey wild a different map question mark a wild will be a
different map yes we won't be here for very long
uh that's when everything just happens out of meat harvard such a good like
coastal city i got the bone smashers and that kind of plays into all of connor's stuff
what do you think connor
um i think a good place
would be like maybe at the exact heart of intoxica the like right above boonheart
and it looks like there's already kind of a trail there between field gar university and boonheart
yeah and it could be like a little no name town or something that also has the life church attached
to it because in common steel the death right it was common steel where our last campaign was
yeah yeah yeah that's that's gonna be your whole like uh death faith area so it wouldn't be close
to that well there's a life there is a life church there is there is there anymore right look so the
life church isn't intoxica aren't doing very well okay you know well yeah they just do a side bombing
the power of life but also the fucking suicide bombers are unrelenting all right and tell you
what you just got nothing's more terrified they all wear the same red robes run across yeah yeah
that's a thing that's a thing too we'll be able to experience in this campaign is just gonna be a
bunch of fucking dudes that look like razz running around ridiculous that's who needs to be sent
to rim yeah yeah it is it is so imperial door is the only place we haven't ever actually like
explored at all and the only thing we really know about imperial doors that it's mostly like elves
and people that they're too they think that they're too good for the rest of the world
they're trapped off and it's like mountain range and they just don't adventure out there's like no
trade routes here there's like people don't come and go from here this is like a place of whatever
and in the intoxicant lore all the buildings are like made of pearl and ivory and other kinds of
really nice materials they just think they're better than everyone's basically like the high
elf kind of area that we've never touched um was ampharos so what i'm thinking is we could do
something random here we can make like a nice little village or something and we could do chat
can do name a thing there are also name suggestions for a village if there's any we want to take
um or we could make a village up here nearby ampharos um especially because it's far away from
common steel and there's like that bridge so maybe the life church is doing well here because there
isn't a death church connection yet there's our two options what do we think raise your hand if
random village by um field guard university
all right we've got one to two we're doing ampharos let's do it um somewhere up here
imperial door and ampharos chat chat if you're paying attention chat use the name of thing
command only cost you 10 points and throw out the name of a small little village
these guys might where the carnival might have came through so actually the carnival smart they're
trying to make money they're gonna go to the place where all the rich people are you know i'm saying
they want to go sneer at the lower class that's why they're going to the carnival
yeah chodeville cough slapping
cough slapping
okay so that's how you guys met um moving on we only got a couple left here so we'll just zoom
through these um you met the party in the tavern um trying to get some tail but realized it's those
people could help you find your mentor especially the big lady very good i like you put that in
there um connor what is reiners biggest fear reiners biggest fear is uh mimic genitals this
stems from an encounter that he had where someone had their genitals replaced by a mimic and it
forever haunts him i wonder what the logistics of that are get the fuck out of here they had their
genitals replaced with a mimic so do you think talking is this like todd in the book of pure evil
or what yeah i was i was thinking is like teeth that movie teeth
do you think you decide the whole person could be a mimic or it's just their genitals somehow
that were you know attacked and replaced by a fucking trashed hitting on a dresser hey baby the
dresser is a mimic the genitals of a mimic or or maybe it's not a real thing at all it's just a
really bad nightmare he had one time and uh he just he's cautious of it sometimes yeah you know
what a specific kink you can call it a phobia but i know what it actually means
um filigree uh daydrix hollow that's pretty good pretty good connor i like i like date wow
yeah the oceans oh lee oceans gate
pretty good it's pretty fucking good like that
that let's take it let's take it wait is that did i did i say that right did it is is it i was
i can't spell bousing at lay ocean but yeah lee ocean works too okay so like definitely like
lay ocean like how hank hill's neighbor is lay ocean kind of deal yeah there we go but i mean
let's be honest uh fucking violet's gonna be like yeah we're going to leo tans leo tan
we're going to leo tan's date leo shins 11 i was like oh this just turned into a heist campaign
it's gonna be leo shins 11 that's awesome okay what is i mean you already talked about a little
bit but what is violet fam's greatest fear uh it is being alone abandoned she has abandonment
issues she likes having companions she she fears solidarity like solitude i think is the word i'm
looking for oh don't split the party i don't want to be alone yeah exactly
oh yeah dr hops greatest fear uh it's kind of funny because me and violet have the same fear
which is also being left and forgotten and fear of being alone like being alone is not okay like
no matter what like cannot be left alone not whatsoever be left alone be forgotten be forgotten
left alone live in the dark trauma bonded okay reiner's biggest fear drunk biggest flaw biggest
flaw reiner biggest flaw is he will not turn down sexual advances uh i.e. can't keep it in his pants
that's what results in probably 99 percent of reiner's problems is him just having having
relations all the time every time all right violet fam greatest flaw big dumb and loud
uh she she doesn't know her own strength and cut she doesn't really realize her own strength in
her own size compared to like most people she's very loud and she's very stupid it's kind of a
uh that's gonna be fun you can't yeah stealth mission no thank you dr hops greatest flaw uh
uh really shaky comes off shady but has a true good heart and really likes divination crystals
i'm gonna have to write up some stats for divination crystals i gotta get with nate and be like all right
okay welcome azalea yosei hi azalea uh i did some this morning and i got to see a bit into the future
but i didn't understand any of it and it didn't help us at all so it's like i would imagine
they're like the equivalent of like snorting getting high and then seeing a part of the future
that you can't explain and then being like can't let the future happen no no the future bad bad
future bad bad bad future we all fix the future yeah yeah the future yeah yeah nice but never really
knowing what so it's like nonsense hello
all right divination crystals very good are we only got a couple left here um
we're gonna zoom through these okay i'm gonna we're gonna speed run these bad boys all right
reiner what are your interests outside of adventuring music sex and animals violet i'm
i'm uh not okay hold on let's not get that mixed up no like i meant like next you know what i mean
oh okay yeah yeah speed run speed run uh violet enjoys carving things out of wood
dr hops like really likes divination crystals like really really likes divination crystals
it's real easy to get him a birthday present you know you just gotta find a divination crystal
jesus christ um what is your bond with the other two characters um we already kind of went over this
a little bit but do you guys have anything you want to elaborate on like what is your bond
i do have examples clearly trauma bonded with uh well i could i could explain how i'm bonded with
them nice go ahead yeah like like i've been saying since i've been in and out of taverns for the last
couple years just like doing whatever obviously at some point i ran into these two jokers in a
tavern and i looked up looked at them up and down i was like hmm interesting threesome might as well
try and i i i accosted them not accosted i um asked them if they'd like to do a threesome they said no
and i was like hmm but i got to talking to them a little bit more learned about their relationship
to the carnival and i was like huh i could definitely use some help going up there you know
got the rabbit guy and big lady for sure is gonna help i know because i can't lift things with my
time my tiny arms so it's a common problem it's gonna be a common problem in the season
lady violet gangers it wasn't like that you know you see you see a rabbit or rabbit and a big lady
together you're like okay they're into some freaky stuff i might as well see if how freaky they are
and that's why i was like hey i see you're into tiny things i'm also tiny so a tiny thing yeah
it'd be like two squirrels fighting over a nut in a tree
oh and that everybody is why my character this season is firmly gay
my character this season is firmly gay
and i think dr hops is a little too high to actually even like
be interested in sexual conduct i really like that you made yourself a vibrator
you're a rabbit vibrator that's a real thing you have no idea see i knew you guys were freaky
come here bonnie come sit in my lap
i think i would consider reiner like pansexual i think he's pan for sure nice
he's a pan boy oh goodness okay any other elaboration on the bond between each other
uh the only thing that i guess i can elaborate more in is that the reason why dr hops actually
likes keeping reiner around is when he is playing music it actually makes the shaking stop
so and when you've been shaking for like 20 years and then suddenly something makes it stop
it's kind of nice and you just don't want to get rid of it so you're like follow follow follow me
yeah i actually like that i like that idea a lot that's that's really but everything else about me
you fucking hate i fucking cannot stand you like i actually probably truly hate you but the you make
the shaking stop so that's kind of nice so it's like plus it also gives me like a time during
streams when i can actually stop for a second i definitely kind of just had my bond to fishy
being essentially where now that i've heard things is that we're kind of trauma bonded but also i
have i feel a need because he is so small and frail to protect him nice like that's i want to
copy and paste what just didn't chat real quick he's certifiable divination crystals plus five
bonus to initiative um 1d6 to one attack slash save slash ability check before the next short rest
odds are minus evens are pluses poisoned condition if more than one day passes without using
uh we'll think about that oh think about that yeah i don't know uh is that the actual
is that the actual like stats for divination crystals divination crystals a real thing
just wrote up something for fun no you think there's divination crystal stats and five
e fish i don't fucking think no no we need to have a need to have a i don't think there's a
there's a trilby head on top of my head okay um yeah that's not what i was going for i was going
like i don't think it would give me any bonuses to any stats it would be the broken like
foresight stuff
like what what's going on what's going on check out the kids you heard a noise you know that
that father instinct kicks in you hear a straight noise and you go what the fuck
that fatherly instinct okay so we're gonna move on here reiner what is your character's personal
mission what are they trying to achieve on top of which by the way i didn't i forgot to explain
this but this campaign all the characters are beginning at level one and we will be using
milestone leveling so no need to worry about experience and on top of your own personal
motivation your character begins with the following you travel with your companions to seek what you
have lost so many years ago from the witchlike carnival and to restore restore joy and wonder
to the feywild so your personal mission on top of that what do you got my personal mission on top
of that so not what i wrote down then no that looks good looks good oh okay um
um my my the character's personal mission is to find his mentor again
because selena tracks is he can't find her right so she's the bard gnome that taught her the ways
of the sex well tata the ways of the bard but yes more or less all right the ways of the bard
sex yeah yeah got a cool ass student teacher relationship going on there but yeah i yeah hold
on hold on hold on hold on we're talking about how like he was running through the woods when he was a
child well not when he was 80 years old okay it's a fairy he was like in his teen years for a fairy
and then sexy bard lady comes along and was like hey i'm also like a teenager in my age range
and then here's how to be a bard there you go so nothing nothing weird or creepy everybody just
hold on okay this 80 year old teenager is banging it out yeah yeah yeah certifiable
bonuses to initiative um help with like the possibly seeing the future thing that makes sense
okay i i would maybe give a one because five is a lot slappy certifiable it's actually called the
intoxicant sutra just so you know and no i wrote it um so everybody's this is hot and better not
awaken anything in me it's fucking better actually honestly um if i don't see thirst trap art of each
three of these characters um you are fired and if you want to you can totally make them warhammer
40k base so it totally fits your art that you're going for in the future by the way so happy balls
is creating some really badass warhammer 40k stuff and if you haven't seen it make sure to give them
a follow all right show them support because it's it's cool they were explaining it to me at the
pad the other day i get to play slappy balls with slappy balls by the way we played rocket league it
was sick um but anyways if i don't see thirst trap art i riot oh yeah we better have a very active
remember two foot eight two foot nine for both of them six foot ten you got it there's your size
range anvil play oh more like anvil world table top am i right um flashlights got it now i'm scared
i'm all of a sudden i'm very scared all of a sudden okay you coward moving on quickly before
we talk too much about sex violet fems what is your personal mission uh so it kind of goes into her
like paladin path um she's kind of sworn vengeance on her family who sold her to the carnival uh for
for essentially addiction and she has a feeling that they've done that to all of her siblings
in some way or another so she wants to like essentially she swarmed vengeance on her parents
specifically and wants to save any of her siblings that are still either trapped in that situation
and or fun about that story is that they say people are attracted to people you know what
I mean that resemble their parents or whatever so you have this revenge against your parents for
being addicts but then you meet a best friend rabbit who's a fucking addict and you adopt him
as a best friend not realizing it's not whatever i want i can stop whenever i want that's fine
not realizing there's there's some real shit going on there bro yeah yeah uh that's what i
said earlier i'm like oh we just realized some reasons why we're bonded like it's trauma bonding
right there that's that's a trauma bond yeah cheese and rice okay dr hops what is your personal
goal and mission is to reach a level of enlightenment to make the terror and tremors
to stop and i feel like definitely finding out where he's from and kind of healing from his
trauma of the Feywild and learning all that stuff will definitely help him in the next processes of
enlightenment like he's trying to be okay by the way great trauma bond trauma bonding cheers
that's the new let's get boy it's for trauma bonding trauma bonding
along with dark position i summon trauma bond
this attack allows me to immediately become friends with anyone i cast it on your move
kaiba no better reason to cheers and that's right that's right
um okay so i got one last question here um at least one that's important i feel like all the
other ones we actually did kind of go over subtly um cheers technically thanks parents cheers
um for a fishy's character technically you don't have to answer this question because you have
madrick that's your connection to the overlying plot um as madrick's pushing you forward so
instead you can just talk about madrick but rhinar you'll explain to us please what did
the carnival take from you secretly while you were a child these is this is kind of involving
the memories that are slowly coming back to you remembering that it might be the carnival's fault
that you can't adore kind of deal yes the last time i saw uh selena tracks was when i was at the
carnival with my parents i saw her um in the crowd somewhere and that's the last sighting
i had of her eight years of eight years ago
all right violet phimms what exactly did the carnival take from you secretly uh they took away
they took away violet's ability to read and write okay go ahead yeah they took away her ability to
read and write because when fairies own children they like them to be young and dumb forever so
even though she was essentially a child she was a child and she was a child and she was a child
forever so uh even though she was essentially adopted right at like the cusp of adulthood
like she was sold it right at the cusp of adulthood that she lost all ability to read and write so
being super smart as a youngin and then essentially going completely dumb
uh i believe mad i believe madrick is a super old man he's like at the top of the tower in like a
library just surrounded by books and even he's been trying to like get to go to the carnival
but can't because he can't leave the tower anymore or maybe he can i don't know it looks like i make
believe different from you people and but like so he's going to be sending us on a quest and
that's what's really going to help drive a lot of our story and our ambitions so it's going to be
fun um i guess that'll be very quest driven which will probably get annoying at some point
i imagine uh i can't wait till y'all get to meet dr hops he's a hoot
