WEBVTT 00:00:02.830 --> 00:00:05.969 Welcome to Roll 4 Heresy, with Walton playing 00:00:05.969 --> 00:00:09.949 Chet, Cliff playing Francisco, Tim playing Squigs, 00:00:10.230 --> 00:00:15.189 and Kevin as the GM. Last time, the party headed 00:00:15.189 --> 00:00:18.230 deeper into the jungle to continue to look for 00:00:18.230 --> 00:00:22.129 a landing zone. Having survived traps and a fight 00:00:22.129 --> 00:00:26.070 with Chesglutko, they began looking for a place 00:00:26.070 --> 00:00:32.570 to rest. Yes, so... You guys are, you manage 00:00:32.570 --> 00:00:36.250 to cross a little stream safely. You're a little 00:00:36.250 --> 00:00:39.450 wet, you know, you take your time. And I will 00:00:39.450 --> 00:00:42.509 say that, you know, from the time you began to 00:00:42.509 --> 00:00:49.049 travel from, you know, the base through the previous 00:00:49.049 --> 00:00:51.750 zone with the booby traps and the vine through 00:00:51.750 --> 00:00:54.149 this river, the sun is getting pretty low in 00:00:54.149 --> 00:00:58.149 the sky. So you can continue to travel or you 00:00:58.149 --> 00:01:00.750 can set up camp or something. I turned the chat. 00:01:01.530 --> 00:01:04.950 So a couple of thoughts if we do want to stop 00:01:04.950 --> 00:01:10.670 here. It looks like the dead fish lizards were 00:01:10.670 --> 00:01:13.129 a good deterrent to the other fish lizards, but 00:01:13.129 --> 00:01:15.890 I assume they'll also attract scavengers in the 00:01:15.890 --> 00:01:19.189 not too distant future. Maybe we want to throw 00:01:19.189 --> 00:01:21.469 a couple carcasses a little bit further into 00:01:21.469 --> 00:01:24.409 the jungle and whatever would have eaten us might 00:01:24.409 --> 00:01:27.920 eat them instead. Oh yeah, that sounds like a 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:31.400 pretty good idea. These things might keep off 00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:34.620 any other predators that might come try to eat 00:01:34.620 --> 00:01:38.239 us. I can maybe take one of these things and 00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:40.640 make a meal out of it for us so we can have something 00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:46.079 to eat that's not made of people. I'd be... I 00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:50.700 mean, I'm an adventurous eater. I've had... Hold 00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:54.280 on, what would he think is an exotic food? that 00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:56.980 he uh would be perfectly normal for other people 00:01:56.980 --> 00:01:59.879 is there like some in the universe like yeah 00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:03.340 rocks i've eaten a rock before so i've i've definitely 00:02:03.340 --> 00:02:07.500 tasted my pair of uh bizarre cuisine you ate 00:02:07.500 --> 00:02:11.979 a you ate a rock yeah i was told people would 00:02:11.979 --> 00:02:14.180 eat rocks on other planets it was a normal thing 00:02:14.180 --> 00:02:17.719 out there is that starts with the i think it 00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:21.129 ends with a seat instead of the cave Oh, okay. 00:02:21.270 --> 00:02:23.770 I thought you were talking about like a stone. 00:02:24.729 --> 00:02:30.469 Oh, no, no. That would be absurd. Yeah, that 00:02:30.469 --> 00:02:34.030 would be pretty tricky to pull off. He looks 00:02:34.030 --> 00:02:36.530 at the rocks on the shore with his eyes open, 00:02:36.569 --> 00:02:39.889 and I'm like, no, never mind. Covered in blood 00:02:39.889 --> 00:02:45.509 and mud. But yeah, Kevin, could I take one of 00:02:45.509 --> 00:02:47.830 these corpses and just sort of throw it deeper 00:02:47.830 --> 00:02:50.199 into the jungle? Like, drag it to the edge of 00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.199 the thick wood and just toss it. Could they be 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:57.939 eaten? Like, do they look edible? Oh, give me 00:02:57.939 --> 00:03:02.280 a survival. I will give you a survival. I will 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.840 say that DM is one. It's one success and one 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:13.259 failure. Yes, you do see that the creatures appear 00:03:13.259 --> 00:03:20.460 to be edible kind of like... other lizard -like 00:03:20.460 --> 00:03:22.979 creatures you've seen in the past, you know what 00:03:22.979 --> 00:03:24.800 part of it not to eat and what part of it to 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.860 eat. Oh, that's perfect, because I have the Gormon 00:03:27.860 --> 00:03:32.659 skill. Oh, really? It lets me add double rank 00:03:32.659 --> 00:03:36.000 bonus dice to any tests made to prepare food. 00:03:37.699 --> 00:03:44.319 That's fantastic. That's amazing. So Chet immediately 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:48.210 sets his pack down and... produces like a sealed 00:03:48.210 --> 00:03:51.889 plastic bag of spices and He starts getting the 00:03:51.889 --> 00:03:53.389 works. Okay. I'm gonna make uh, I'm gonna make 00:03:53.389 --> 00:03:55.870 us something good D You know you said you sit 00:03:55.870 --> 00:04:00.110 back and relax and let Chet do his work Very 00:04:00.110 --> 00:04:03.349 well, so we move on we move off from the bank 00:04:03.349 --> 00:04:07.009 and I am just going to kind of Map out where 00:04:07.009 --> 00:04:09.289 we are. I'm gonna spend some time consolidating 00:04:09.289 --> 00:04:14.530 the maps And watching watching Chet and taking 00:04:14.530 --> 00:04:18.959 notes on his cookbook I've never, I don't think 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:22.639 Squigs has ever had the opportunity to actually... 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:25.060 He's occasionally seen someone prepare food, 00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:28.139 but he's never seen a catachan jungle fighter 00:04:28.139 --> 00:04:35.639 and ratling. A whole bag of spices of unknown 00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:39.439 origin. It's like a Food Network show, but you're 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:42.180 surrounded by death. Yeah, like when Gordon Ramsay 00:04:42.180 --> 00:04:45.800 made fried rice on a mountain. See the thing 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.180 here, you got to make sure you take out the poison 00:04:48.180 --> 00:04:50.920 sacks because you don't want to mess up the flavor 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:54.139 profile of the meal. He's just like cutting into 00:04:54.139 --> 00:04:59.199 this lizard fish thing. It's like cooking at 00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:03.180 the Monster Hunter tent. That's exact. It all 00:05:03.180 --> 00:05:05.240 looks amazingly delicious even though it's an 00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:09.560 absolutely drug combo. You even have the turning 00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:12.639 spitfire. Turning spitfire, he's got half a head 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:16.779 of cabbage in there. Yeah non -descript space 00:05:16.779 --> 00:05:24.639 cabbage All right, so you guys set up camp for 00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.180 the night or you just taking a quick meal break 00:05:27.180 --> 00:05:29.980 if we're setting up camp at some point probably 00:05:29.980 --> 00:05:33.459 Camp here for the night, you know kind of take 00:05:33.459 --> 00:05:36.600 watches. I'm assuming squigs doesn't actually 00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:42.300 squigs has an idea like okay, like the standard 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.639 Like, we're camping, everybody watches for a 00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:48.759 period of time. Yeah, we can take watch as long 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:52.000 as we follow the rules of the jungle. I think 00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:55.740 we should all be fine. Right. No names and check 00:05:55.740 --> 00:06:00.480 it's A class. That's right. I'm actually always 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.540 confused. Do we light a fire to keep things away 00:06:03.540 --> 00:06:06.139 from us? Or do we light a fire so that nobody 00:06:06.139 --> 00:06:08.720 notices us? Or we don't light a fire so that 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.800 nobody notices us? The answer to that is yes. 00:06:13.779 --> 00:06:17.680 I think it probably depends on where we are. 00:06:17.980 --> 00:06:22.120 I don't spend as much time out in the nightmarish 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:26.939 jungle places. You light the fire to keep stuff 00:06:26.939 --> 00:06:28.939 away from you, but once you light the fire, you 00:06:28.939 --> 00:06:35.000 do not leave the fire. In another situation, 00:06:35.060 --> 00:06:37.920 if you were to see a fire, you do not go towards 00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:40.930 the fire, so it is a sort of... Deterrent because 00:06:40.930 --> 00:06:43.029 you might be going towards a fire and you think 00:06:43.029 --> 00:06:45.850 it's a fire and it's actually a ain't oh and 00:06:45.850 --> 00:06:50.449 then you get eight I Still am endeavoring my 00:06:50.449 --> 00:06:53.069 best to not get eight. So everything is endeavoring 00:06:53.069 --> 00:07:01.720 its best to hate me Now what's that you're using 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:04.120 there and he's just gesturing to like one of 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:07.100 your the weirdest spices you have It looks like 00:07:07.100 --> 00:07:10.199 a cross between a star anise and like a peppercorn 00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:13.399 a long pepper. Oh, this is a this is pepper salt 00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:15.560 Well, you got to do you got to find some of them 00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:18.600 work tribes They like to keep pepper salt and 00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:21.240 you got to sneak in there and get it and then 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:25.480 you got to get out without getting eight So it's 00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:27.980 part. It's part of the experience gives a nice 00:07:27.980 --> 00:07:31.449 smoky flavor to whatever you put it on. Interesting. 00:07:32.589 --> 00:07:37.769 Really? Like, so you snuck into an orc encampment, 00:07:38.730 --> 00:07:41.250 and I'm assuming they go on like this until it's 00:07:41.250 --> 00:07:44.509 time to end the watch. He's got orc spices. Like, 00:07:44.850 --> 00:07:51.189 what did you? How? Who figured out that orcs 00:07:51.189 --> 00:07:55.170 have spices? Well, somebody had to do it first, 00:07:55.170 --> 00:07:56.970 and they probably got eight, but then, you know, 00:07:57.110 --> 00:08:03.050 the story probably spread. This is... And he's 00:08:03.050 --> 00:08:05.889 just like... You can see, it looks like he's 00:08:05.889 --> 00:08:10.870 producing the pencil sketches, like the fully 00:08:10.870 --> 00:08:16.949 outlined sketches of that. And writing down your 00:08:16.949 --> 00:08:20.610 story next to it. Like, you don't know this kind 00:08:20.610 --> 00:08:22.670 of stuff unless you talk to people. People know 00:08:22.670 --> 00:08:25.410 all kinds of interesting things that you never 00:08:25.410 --> 00:08:31.959 know unless you ask them. I have heard many things. 00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:35.600 I have read a lot of reports and I never once 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:41.519 heard of stealing spices from orcs. Yeah, I mean, 00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:44.379 if you look at it on paper, it doesn't make any 00:08:44.379 --> 00:08:47.500 sense, but once you do it, then you're like, 00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:50.820 oh, okay, that's why. That's why they did it. 00:08:51.580 --> 00:08:57.139 I would have... I would have struck that from 00:08:57.139 --> 00:08:59.879 the record if I had ever seen that A is superfluous 00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:04.779 and B as straight -out fancy. They talk about, 00:09:04.779 --> 00:09:08.899 you know, oh, this is heresy, that's heresy. 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.480 I'm just trying to make good food, man. And, 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:16.320 you know, I go where the flavor is. Apparently, 00:09:16.539 --> 00:09:20.419 it seems like you brought some with you. If flavor 00:09:20.419 --> 00:09:23.179 is heresy, well, then you just call me a heretical 00:09:23.179 --> 00:09:25.759 bastard, because you know what? I like not eating 00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:28.480 people, and I like my food to taste good. You 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.759 see, Squigs just kind of gets pensive for a second 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:37.879 because of that. Whatever. Not my problem. Francisco 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:40.940 takes a bite of the lizard fish. It's just like, 00:09:41.220 --> 00:09:43.639 I've never even met an orc, so I've never even 00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:45.879 seen an orc. I don't know. It seems fine to me. 00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:51.220 Yeah, and at that I will also take a bite. Just 00:09:51.220 --> 00:09:54.279 like Monster Hunter, I will just stab it and 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.419 jam a whole piece of it in my mouth with my stiletto. 00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:03.100 Or my food fork, my food knife. Probably my food 00:10:03.100 --> 00:10:07.200 knife, I wouldn't use my stiletto for that. I 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.559 will say it tastes better than you figure it's 00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:15.179 supposed to. Whatever Chet did to this actually 00:10:15.179 --> 00:10:22.750 made it. Pretty good. Oh. Makes a note. This... 00:10:22.750 --> 00:10:26.370 An interesting part. I'm sure Chet knows. The 00:10:26.370 --> 00:10:31.110 heretical cooking of the Rattling. Maybe you 00:10:31.110 --> 00:10:33.210 know, Francisco. I'm sure Chet knows. But one 00:10:33.210 --> 00:10:35.690 of the parts of the survey is finding new things 00:10:35.690 --> 00:10:42.149 that are... New and different ways a planet, 00:10:42.409 --> 00:10:45.090 especially a planet newly brought into... the 00:10:45.090 --> 00:10:48.529 folds can contribute to the Imperium. These are 00:10:48.529 --> 00:10:53.570 edible enough. Maybe if these creatures are easy 00:10:53.570 --> 00:10:56.750 enough to breed, this might be another export 00:10:56.750 --> 00:11:05.129 for straw. Turning the unerrable water into another 00:11:05.129 --> 00:11:09.970 source of food would greatly increase, possibly, 00:11:10.289 --> 00:11:17.240 straw standing. This was actually pretty good. 00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:20.320 I feel bad for whoever they have to hire to become 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:23.580 the new fish lizard person farmer. Seems like 00:11:23.580 --> 00:11:27.000 a rough job. Probably. The important part is 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:29.820 that we can always get more people to do it. 00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:35.460 If it has value, we will export it. Or the God 00:11:35.460 --> 00:11:39.980 Emperor expects no less. You guys, you can name 00:11:39.980 --> 00:11:42.799 it. You can name this creature. We could name 00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:45.980 this creature. Have to think of what to name 00:11:45.980 --> 00:11:49.679 this creature. I Mean just call it lizard fish 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:56.620 or fish lizard or and or Charles Charles beware 00:11:56.620 --> 00:12:02.980 of the aquatic Charles Things like there's like 00:12:02.980 --> 00:12:06.679 scale Charles there there's 42 different varieties 00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:15.919 of fish lizard Francisco, Squigs, Chet, so it'd 00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:23.620 be Chess Squigsco? Chess Squigsco? Chess Squigsco. 00:12:23.620 --> 00:12:27.700 Chess Squigsco. Chess Squigsco. Chess Squigsco. 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:30.559 Chess Squigsco. Ah, the Chess Squigsco! If you 00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:32.759 say it fast enough, it just sort of melts together. 00:12:33.580 --> 00:12:35.720 Which is funny, because actually, Francisco might 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:37.519 actually know the native name for this language, 00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:38.919 and they're just like, now we're gonna use the 00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:41.879 name we prepared. Oh yeah. Once you guys bring 00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:43.259 up that we can name it ourselves, I'm just like, 00:12:43.299 --> 00:12:45.039 yeah, that's definitely a Chisqueeksgo. That's 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:47.240 definitely where it's going to go. Chisqueeksgo, 00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:50.700 there. All right, perfect. I'm going to make 00:12:50.700 --> 00:12:58.039 a note.

I'll leave that up to you. 00:14:45.169 --> 00:14:46.470 You're doing a good job of managing that stuff. 00:14:47.029 --> 00:14:50.909 Oh, thank you, thank you. But, uh, yeah. Yeah, 00:14:50.950 --> 00:14:54.090 I don't know either. We'll figure it out. I just 00:14:54.090 --> 00:14:58.049 lurk. I don't know what I'm doing. All right. 00:14:58.990 --> 00:15:03.009 All right, so I will say... Yep, we set watch. 00:15:04.070 --> 00:15:07.389 We set watch. As the night falls, the jungle 00:15:07.389 --> 00:15:10.610 takes on an eerily different character. Cloaked 00:15:10.610 --> 00:15:13.490 in darkness and alive with an orchestra of nocturnal 00:15:13.490 --> 00:15:16.509 sounds. The dense canopy overhead blocks much 00:15:16.509 --> 00:15:19.710 of the moonlight, leaving only faint silver beams 00:15:19.710 --> 00:15:22.950 filtering through the gaps in its leaves. Shadows 00:15:22.950 --> 00:15:25.250 dance across the thick undergrowth, shifting 00:15:25.250 --> 00:15:28.490 and swaying as if the jungle itself is blue. 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:35.299 What's that spooky? Spooky. So you guys, you 00:15:35.299 --> 00:15:39.600 sit around the campfire in a loose circle, your 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:43.399 faces illuminated by its light. Your voices are 00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:47.379 low as you joke about orcs and spices and what 00:15:47.379 --> 00:15:49.840 to name this stupid lizard fish. And of course 00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:52.960 the name Chesquithgo comes directly into your 00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:57.409 head as if ordained by the emperor himself. That 00:15:57.409 --> 00:16:01.110 is forever the name of this creature. People 00:16:01.110 --> 00:16:03.850 are going to be so confused when it's a primary 00:16:03.850 --> 00:16:11.350 enemy. Let your squigs go! Squigs noting that 00:16:11.350 --> 00:16:15.450 potentially how good this thing tastes is a good 00:16:15.450 --> 00:16:18.850 farm for anywhere there's large bodies of water 00:16:18.850 --> 00:16:22.490 that you can't grow any kind of straw root on. 00:16:23.570 --> 00:16:30.039 But now... You all begin to tire, and I believe 00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:37.259 it's time to determine who is taking watch. Uh, 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:41.340 Squigs will offer to take the first watch. Um, 00:16:41.620 --> 00:16:44.059 being that he doesn't spend a lot of time outdoors, 00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:47.039 he figures it's best if he does it while there's 00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:51.039 still some semblance. Uh, like, well he's mostly 00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:54.639 awake and can let the - what he assumes the darker, 00:16:54.860 --> 00:16:59.409 more - More difficult times to watch would be 00:16:59.409 --> 00:17:06.170 to those better trained for it. That's his thought. 00:17:06.170 --> 00:17:09.369 I would say generally second watch is the most 00:17:09.369 --> 00:17:13.369 dangerous. Which makes sense. Do you want to 00:17:13.369 --> 00:17:17.210 give that to Chet then? Squicks take first, Chet 00:17:17.210 --> 00:17:19.509 takes second, and Francisco takes third, because 00:17:19.509 --> 00:17:22.509 I think Chet has the best awareness out of all 00:17:22.509 --> 00:17:26.309 of us, right? I mean... Don't know I have an 00:17:26.309 --> 00:17:30.049 awareness of five Okay, I have an awareness of 00:17:30.049 --> 00:17:32.950 like two so if I go last that might be safe as 00:17:32.950 --> 00:17:37.829 three group. All right I mean also actually if 00:17:37.829 --> 00:17:40.630 we take into account statistics like They're 00:17:40.630 --> 00:17:44.109 not statistics with stats Yes, Griggs is no problem 00:17:44.109 --> 00:17:49.890 taking me the harder watches as well No, it's 00:17:49.890 --> 00:17:51.869 like like you've already said it's not necessarily 00:17:51.869 --> 00:17:54.269 his first rodeo So, uh, why don't you go first, 00:17:54.430 --> 00:17:56.730 Francisco, and then Chet, where you wanna go? 00:17:59.890 --> 00:18:03.089 Do we lose him? Oh, sorry. My weapon's stuck. 00:18:03.250 --> 00:18:07.130 What happened? Uh, we're determining watch. Watch 00:18:07.130 --> 00:18:09.289 order. Oh, I've got an awareness of four. I can 00:18:09.289 --> 00:18:11.549 take any watch. It doesn't really matter. Okay, 00:18:11.549 --> 00:18:15.410 so I'll take second watch. Uh, we'll let you 00:18:15.410 --> 00:18:20.170 take third, and Francisco will go first. So I 00:18:20.170 --> 00:18:24.480 have an awareness of five. Sounds good to me. 00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:27.460 Perfect. Alright, so that's our watch order. 00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:33.380 Francisco, Squigs, Chad. Okay. Well. You guys 00:18:33.380 --> 00:18:37.859 go to sleep? Uh, yes. We perform whatever actions 00:18:37.859 --> 00:18:41.599 you deem necessary to advance the plot. Okay. 00:18:43.299 --> 00:18:52.230 Okay. So. Francisco. Yep. You're alone. Squigs 00:18:52.230 --> 00:18:55.589 and Chet's. Who snores? Which one of you snores? 00:18:55.890 --> 00:18:58.710 Oh, Chet definitely snores. He sleeps holding, 00:18:58.769 --> 00:19:02.849 like, crating his rifle like a body pillow. Is 00:19:02.849 --> 00:19:11.289 this his murder waifu? Oh, long rifle -a. Oh, 00:19:11.369 --> 00:19:15.150 rifle -a son. Oh, right son. Sorry, that was 00:19:15.150 --> 00:19:19.369 way funnier to me than it should have been. Rattling 00:19:19.369 --> 00:19:25.779 rifle -a my beloved. Ratlina. Ratlina. You did 00:19:25.779 --> 00:19:27.779 give it a name in one of the previous episodes. 00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:34.059 That's true. I think it was Debbie. I can't remember. 00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:37.519 I don't think it was Debbie, but like... Well, 00:19:37.579 --> 00:19:43.099 no. It could be Debbie now. We'll take better 00:19:43.099 --> 00:19:46.740 notes. That'll never happen. I think her name's 00:19:46.740 --> 00:19:48.799 Cheryl. I like Cheryl better. I think it's Cheryl. 00:19:49.019 --> 00:19:52.079 It's Cheryl now. Cheryl the shooter write that 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:56.319 down. He's taking notes quick. Yeah, yeah, Cheryl 00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:00.359 the shooter no problem Braces I'll post a note 00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:08.619 was gonna be let me go actually, I think there's 00:20:08.619 --> 00:20:14.660 Yeah, oh yeah, but that's hard to do while we're 00:20:14.660 --> 00:20:22.000 playing Yeah, well we'll figure that out. Yeah. 00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:26.140 If only somebody would get faster at editing, 00:20:26.420 --> 00:20:28.039 we could just take the notes of a previous book. 00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:33.940 You've previously published episodes. And also 00:20:33.940 --> 00:20:36.539 for the benefit of it, I will, when I do watch, 00:20:36.619 --> 00:20:38.980 I'll have my back to the fire so that my eyes 00:20:38.980 --> 00:20:41.759 can adjust to the darkness. Oh, that's a good 00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:47.500 idea. Okay. Perfect. Yeah, I think you can make 00:20:47.500 --> 00:20:53.920 this work. Sorry Yeah, I'll just sure we'll talk 00:20:53.920 --> 00:21:01.400 about that later All right, so Chet and squigs 00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:10.599 enter their accommodations You hear squigs like 00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:14.099 Dutifully taking notes summarizing the actions 00:21:14.099 --> 00:21:19.289 of the day before quietly closing whatever notebook 00:21:19.289 --> 00:21:23.650 he has and going into a peaceful somber sleep. 00:21:25.730 --> 00:21:27.710 And then Chet, on the other hand, you hear kind 00:21:27.710 --> 00:21:31.230 of like a chaotic scrambling as he's like rolling 00:21:31.230 --> 00:21:35.029 around in the sleeping bag.

Yeah Yeah, I paid a couple 00:26:58.349 --> 00:27:00.269 logs on there or a couple little more on there 00:27:00.269 --> 00:27:03.170 to keep it at a Not like a roaring fire, but 00:27:03.170 --> 00:27:06.930 there's heat and a little bit of light He'll 00:27:06.930 --> 00:27:12.039 sit up and he'll just kind of take out his knife 00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:13.819 and his pistol and just kind of set them in his 00:27:13.819 --> 00:27:17.779 lap and just kind of listen and watch to the 00:27:17.779 --> 00:27:22.079 jungle um just quietly like count to himself 00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:26.000 to stay awake like he'll be counting like pops 00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:29.839 or flickers of light or strange noises like he's 00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:32.619 just like constantly accounting his surroundings 00:27:32.619 --> 00:27:40.039 to stay awake so that's uh that's And as he lets 00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:44.279 Francisco drift off, he looks over at Chet. How's 00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:47.259 Chet doing? Chet is in a really awkward position 00:27:47.259 --> 00:27:53.539 now, where maybe he's completely sideways, and 00:27:53.539 --> 00:27:57.839 his rifle is in his left hand, pushed, and it's 00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:01.339 under his right leg, and his right arm is up 00:28:01.339 --> 00:28:04.119 above him, and he's just snoring away. Okay. 00:28:05.079 --> 00:28:10.059 Well, I'm just gonna let that be. And I'll just 00:28:10.059 --> 00:28:13.359 kind of sit by the light, you know keeping the 00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:17.940 light out of my eyes and Yeah, go about accounting 00:28:17.940 --> 00:28:24.500 through my through my watch period, okay Let 00:28:24.500 --> 00:28:31.819 me get your awareness test very well Go I should 00:28:31.819 --> 00:28:37.119 have asked you for a DN, but it's okay Keep forgetting 00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:39.960 to set a DN every single time I do this because 00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:42.460 it's like with D &D It's like you roll and I 00:28:42.460 --> 00:28:45.099 don't have to tell you how difficult it is You 00:28:45.099 --> 00:28:47.380 don't necessarily have to right as long as you 00:28:47.380 --> 00:28:50.779 have an idea for ya. It just makes yeah, I know 00:28:50.779 --> 00:28:55.720 Yeah, some of the internal mechanics Well for 00:28:55.720 --> 00:29:01.119 success to I cannot Yeah, so I'll say That's 00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:08.380 good So I'll say you know You're sitting. You're 00:29:08.380 --> 00:29:12.180 by this fire. You fed it a few logs. Francisco 00:29:12.180 --> 00:29:17.339 drifts off to sleep. You know, maybe he's like 00:29:17.339 --> 00:29:20.680 mumbling a little bit. He's a little moving a 00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:22.640 little bit. You know, you can tell he's had a 00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:24.220 rough day. This is probably pretty stressful 00:29:24.220 --> 00:29:28.079 for him. Maybe he's not used to all of this chaos. 00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:32.720 And you're just kind of like staring into the 00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:36.109 darkness that is this jungle. And you notice 00:29:36.109 --> 00:29:40.029 that, like, the symphony that's been playing 00:29:40.029 --> 00:29:45.390 begins to shift. And it's subtle at first. You 00:29:45.390 --> 00:29:48.490 know, you hear the distant call of birds and 00:29:48.490 --> 00:29:52.390 the hum of insects is slowly being replaced by 00:29:52.390 --> 00:30:01.670 a faint rustling in the treetops. Okay. Once 00:30:01.670 --> 00:30:04.789 I realize this, do I have an idea? Do I think 00:30:04.789 --> 00:30:08.289 I know what could be causing any of this? Or... 00:30:08.289 --> 00:30:11.309 Because it seems like alarming. And I don't want 00:30:11.309 --> 00:30:14.109 to start waking people up until I have to. But 00:30:14.109 --> 00:30:17.329 if it begins to, like, really, like... If it 00:30:17.329 --> 00:30:21.049 gets more rustly than other nature noises, I 00:30:21.049 --> 00:30:25.349 will kind of just, like, lean over and, like, 00:30:25.450 --> 00:30:28.410 kind of, like, kick chat. And then I'll kick 00:30:28.410 --> 00:30:30.589 Francisco and just kind of, like, get them up 00:30:30.589 --> 00:30:34.890 and be like, There's something moving around 00:30:34.890 --> 00:30:37.529 in the canopy. I hear the shaking of the trees, 00:30:37.589 --> 00:30:42.049 the movement. Yeah, most of the wildlife appears 00:30:42.049 --> 00:30:48.569 to have decided to go quiet. I don't like it. 00:30:48.990 --> 00:30:55.690 All right, I'll take a look at it. And Chet's 00:30:55.690 --> 00:30:58.269 like, all he's wearing is his flak armor and 00:30:58.269 --> 00:31:04.500 his pajamas. He has, like, emperor pajamas. So 00:31:04.500 --> 00:31:09.440 now that you're all awake, you all get this feeling 00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:13.779 of unease as the sounds grow louder and more 00:31:13.779 --> 00:31:16.700 deliberate, like tiny feet moving rapidly through 00:31:16.700 --> 00:31:21.500 leaves and branches. Oh, shit. Does anything 00:31:21.500 --> 00:31:25.039 seem to come close to us? Yes, without warning. 00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:27.420 Oh, no, with plenty of warning because you've 00:31:27.420 --> 00:31:30.839 heard it. A swarm of small monkeys burst into 00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:34.960 this clearing! I knew I should become best friends 00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:37.380 with the one that we found. Why'd you befriend 00:31:37.380 --> 00:31:42.480 animals? I thought I was supposed to. A bunch 00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:45.980 of monkeys burst into the clearing and they just 00:31:45.980 --> 00:31:49.480 start grabbing at shit. They're clearly not hostile, 00:31:49.740 --> 00:31:54.279 they're just starting to steal your shit. Immediately 00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:56.559 throw some logs onto the fire to raise it up. 00:31:56.809 --> 00:31:59.069 And then as soon as anything that comes close 00:31:59.069 --> 00:32:02.589 to me is getting stabbed. Chet begins firing 00:32:02.589 --> 00:32:07.170 indiscriminately towards the monkeys. Goddamn 00:32:07.170 --> 00:32:11.329 bar mitz, get out of here! Get! It's just as 00:32:11.329 --> 00:32:13.470 any monkey that tries to touch my shit is getting 00:32:13.470 --> 00:32:18.369 shanked. We're going to go through like a skill 00:32:18.369 --> 00:32:20.269 check. This is not a combat. This is just going 00:32:20.269 --> 00:32:22.730 to be like, you guys tell me what you're going 00:32:22.730 --> 00:32:25.869 to do and we'll choose a skill that's close to 00:32:25.869 --> 00:32:29.240 it. and we'll set a DN and you'll roll and then 00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:31.460 that'll be your success or failure at you trying 00:32:31.460 --> 00:32:35.000 to do this thing. Okay, makes sense. So we've 00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:39.039 got Squigs, you're making the fire bigger or 00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:41.940 you're stabbing. We've got Chet shooting at them 00:32:41.940 --> 00:32:45.240 and we've got Francisco doing something. I think, 00:32:45.339 --> 00:32:49.240 you know, we have those radios on us. I want 00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:52.900 to see if I can like fiddle with it to make like 00:32:52.900 --> 00:32:56.269 a quick feedback. Problem to make like I went 00:32:56.269 --> 00:32:59.289 went noise to chase scare him off or something 00:32:59.289 --> 00:33:02.230 like that. It's blasted static You you do have 00:33:02.230 --> 00:33:04.829 a tech skill. I was just think I'm gonna tell 00:33:04.829 --> 00:33:07.490 I'm very bad at it But maybe when it's my turn, 00:33:07.549 --> 00:33:10.569 I'll try to steal a glory point and add to it. 00:33:11.250 --> 00:33:15.349 Oh Sure, so uh, I guess we'll just go in alphabetical 00:33:15.349 --> 00:33:18.150 order since we have no better. So Chet you start 00:33:18.150 --> 00:33:20.109 Yeah, that's gonna shoot at that. He's gonna 00:33:20.109 --> 00:33:24.089 start shooting at him. All right, I'll say they're 00:33:24.269 --> 00:33:28.150 Will say the swarm is within melee of you. They're 00:33:28.150 --> 00:33:32.869 tiny and They're like moving very quickly so 00:33:32.869 --> 00:33:37.210 I will set the DN at like Three and you don't 00:33:37.210 --> 00:33:39.390 have to roll for damage. Just like we'll just 00:33:39.390 --> 00:33:46.789 see if there's a successor failure Three you 00:33:46.789 --> 00:33:50.910 did okay, so you just you know, you're woken 00:33:50.910 --> 00:33:54.059 up you hear this you're like Oh, I ain't getting 00:33:54.059 --> 00:33:56.640 eight. And then you just like, lock and load 00:33:56.640 --> 00:34:00.059 and just begin blasting. And then you see, like 00:34:00.059 --> 00:34:03.140 you hear a roar of these little tiny monkeys 00:34:03.140 --> 00:34:07.339 as they're like, as you just begin blasting away 00:34:07.339 --> 00:34:10.380 at them. Goddamn varmint get out of here. Get 00:34:10.380 --> 00:34:16.880 get Francisco. All right, I will attempt to make 00:34:16.880 --> 00:34:22.019 a tech check. I will mark off one glory if you 00:34:22.019 --> 00:34:26.230 could for us and I'll Sure thing. I'll set the 00:34:26.230 --> 00:34:30.510 DN to 2. You're not using the radio for its normal 00:34:30.510 --> 00:34:33.809 function, so it's not 1, so it'll be a 2. Let's 00:34:33.809 --> 00:34:39.250 give it a shot. There it is, wow. Hey! And you 00:34:39.250 --> 00:34:43.650 got the glory back. Hey! There you go. Yeah, 00:34:43.670 --> 00:34:47.610 I'll just make a walk in those. Yeah, so you... 00:34:47.659 --> 00:34:50.880 Grab a radio and you're like, oh these stupid 00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:54.900 things and then you take a second one and You 00:34:54.900 --> 00:34:57.480 like override the feedback loop and you like 00:34:57.480 --> 00:35:00.099 point them at each other in like such a way that 00:35:00.099 --> 00:35:03.460 it just like Kind of gets like louder or noxious 00:35:03.460 --> 00:35:05.739 and you see a bunch of the little critters that 00:35:05.739 --> 00:35:08.280 had things in their hands Immediately drop them 00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:10.320 and like plug their ears because their ears are 00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:15.340 huge, right? They're like And, like, they start 00:35:15.340 --> 00:35:18.699 screaming and they begin to run away. Alright, 00:35:18.840 --> 00:35:21.800 Squigs. Trying to, like, get the fire up so I'm 00:35:21.800 --> 00:35:23.960 throwing on some more kindling and everything 00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:26.739 just to try to make it as big as possible. Easier 00:35:26.739 --> 00:35:28.820 to see, hopefully scared these whatever the hell 00:35:28.820 --> 00:35:31.579 they are off. Alright, give me a survival check 00:35:31.579 --> 00:35:34.239 as you try to stoke the fire beyond what it is 00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:38.420 right now in a quick way. The DN of 2. The DN 00:35:38.420 --> 00:35:42.079 of 2. Since it's more difficult. Might be able 00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:46.019 to pull this off. You can use glory dice as well? 00:35:46.420 --> 00:35:51.460 Eh, I'll take the failure. Okay, so like... I'm 00:35:51.460 --> 00:35:54.219 just like swinging around. I'm trying to throw 00:35:54.219 --> 00:35:56.300 this stuff in there and stuff is getting tough 00:35:56.300 --> 00:35:58.739 getting close and like touching me. I'm just 00:35:58.739 --> 00:36:00.539 swinging my knife at it. I'm swinging the wood 00:36:00.539 --> 00:36:03.840 at it. It's kind of flailing in the dark. Yeah, 00:36:03.940 --> 00:36:07.599 so you start like throwing like what you can 00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:10.710 into the wood, into the fire. It's just not igniting 00:36:10.710 --> 00:36:12.349 fast enough. You know, it's a jungle. Things 00:36:12.349 --> 00:36:15.710 are moist. Like, you know, the fire was already 00:36:15.710 --> 00:36:19.429 started, you know, with your with your fire starter 00:36:19.429 --> 00:36:22.789 kit as it was. So like it's a it's kind of like 00:36:22.789 --> 00:36:25.070 nothing there is like Prometheum where it's just 00:36:25.070 --> 00:36:27.289 going to go up and cause this like explosion 00:36:27.289 --> 00:36:32.429 to scare them. And then at the same time, they're 00:36:32.429 --> 00:36:35.079 like grabbing at your pants. They're like. poking 00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:37.139 at your head as they come by as they're jumping 00:36:37.139 --> 00:36:39.219 and swinging by and they're annoying the shit 00:36:39.219 --> 00:36:42.519 out of you. That tracks. That completely tracks. 00:36:43.260 --> 00:36:47.920 Yes. And so I will say they are attempting to 00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:52.519 steal from you. No, not from me. I like my stuff. 00:36:52.980 --> 00:36:56.019 Attempting to steal from me is heresy. Pick that. 00:36:56.019 --> 00:37:01.400 So I will make them do an athletics check? No. 00:37:01.710 --> 00:37:05.369 What would be a good stealing action? Let's see, 00:37:06.409 --> 00:37:11.989 stats... Agility maybe? There is deception? Okay, 00:37:12.409 --> 00:37:13.650 deception. There's deception if they're trying 00:37:13.650 --> 00:37:17.210 to fake me out. I would say agility also would 00:37:17.210 --> 00:37:21.750 make sense. Or stealth? Or if you're just, you 00:37:21.750 --> 00:37:26.230 know... Yeah, I'll do a stealth check. Yeah, 00:37:26.530 --> 00:37:30.760 that's a good check with agility. I'm gonna set 00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:35.780 the DN of 2 against you, and they're going to 00:37:35.780 --> 00:37:42.659 attempt to steal from you. Yes, and they do really 00:37:42.659 --> 00:37:49.800 good! No, I'm being robbed by tiny monkeys! So 00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:52.059 tell me what do you have on you that I can steal? 00:37:53.079 --> 00:37:58.539 I have... Alright, so what I have is I have my 00:37:58.539 --> 00:38:02.960 auto -quill. my data slate three scrolls of ancient 00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:08.159 records uh and as well as some administratum 00:38:08.159 --> 00:38:12.760 records all right i'm gonna roll a die as well 00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:15.579 as like knife or last pistol and then some last 00:38:15.579 --> 00:38:22.039 packs okay so if you roll a d8 i'm gonna roll 00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:25.860 a d8 and i'm gonna say higher is worse for you 00:38:25.860 --> 00:38:28.659 where like if they roll an eight They're gonna 00:38:28.659 --> 00:38:31.659 steal the data slate. And if they roll a 1, they'll 00:38:31.659 --> 00:38:34.039 steal, I don't know, something you don't care 00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:38.699 about. Like the empty LazPack or something. Works 00:38:38.699 --> 00:38:41.159 for me. Can this roll D8s, or am I gonna have 00:38:41.159 --> 00:38:44.300 to roll it on my own? You just slash R, 1D8. 00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:51.780 A 4. Okay. Something you medium care about. Something 00:38:51.780 --> 00:38:56.719 I medium care about. Let's say they steal... 00:38:57.599 --> 00:39:01.420 Your quill or do you have a lot? I don't care 00:39:01.420 --> 00:39:05.380 about that a lot. It's gonna be a That's replaceable. 00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:07.019 That's gonna be a pain in the ass to replace 00:39:07.019 --> 00:39:11.300 though Yeah, so one of them like you've got your 00:39:11.300 --> 00:39:13.000 knife in your hand. You've got your gun out You 00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:16.039 know you're you're like throwing the things in 00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:19.579 there and then like in your pocket was your auto 00:39:19.579 --> 00:39:23.280 quill you know one of them reaches for your data 00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:25.280 slate and you're like uh -uh and then as you 00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:28.119 pull away like One of them rips out your quill, 00:39:28.340 --> 00:39:30.239 and then he gives the scamper off. No, no, no, 00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:31.699 no, no! When I point that out, I'm like, shoot 00:39:31.699 --> 00:39:36.500 that one! He stole my quill! And I'm gonna... 00:39:36.500 --> 00:39:38.139 Yeah, I'm still trying to just, like, swing at 00:39:38.139 --> 00:39:39.739 stuff. I'm kinda overwhelmed. I'm trying to stop 00:39:39.739 --> 00:39:44.360 him from stealing the rest of my shit. So, um... 00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:46.159 Okay, we're gonna go through one more round of 00:39:46.159 --> 00:39:49.099 this exact same thing. Okay. You wanna do the 00:39:49.099 --> 00:39:52.751 same thing, or give me new ideas? And then, uh... 00:39:52.750 --> 00:39:55.730 Well, that'll be the conclusion of this monkey 00:39:55.730 --> 00:39:58.050 stampede. I'm going to attempt to shoot that 00:39:58.050 --> 00:40:00.469 monkey since it stole my shit, as well as cover 00:40:00.469 --> 00:40:03.530 my own ass. The light's not working. Okay. I 00:40:03.530 --> 00:40:08.949 will say, um, now this is gonna be tough because 00:40:08.949 --> 00:40:14.110 they're small, and now you're specifically aiming 00:40:14.110 --> 00:40:20.460 at one. Yes. And I will spend a wrath. To have 00:40:20.460 --> 00:40:23.719 it kind of trip over my auto -quill. Just to 00:40:23.719 --> 00:40:26.199 make it easier to shoot. Okay. The auto -quill's 00:40:26.199 --> 00:40:28.039 heavier than it thought, the point gets stuck 00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:30.519 in the ground. Maybe it bends the auto -quill 00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:33.619 a little bit, but it's kind of trying to scamper 00:40:33.619 --> 00:40:35.900 away with it. It's a bit lopsided because it's 00:40:35.900 --> 00:40:40.139 an auto -quill, right? So it's metal and steel 00:40:40.139 --> 00:40:45.219 and, uh, scribe - not scribe, uh, parchment, 00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:48.750 etc. That's relatively heavy. Sure, so as - So 00:40:48.750 --> 00:40:51.829 it's like, it's got the auto -quill in one of 00:40:51.829 --> 00:40:53.750 your hands, and the way the monkey's scurrying, 00:40:53.969 --> 00:40:55.869 it's actually still using its hands to scurry. 00:40:56.269 --> 00:41:00.110 So as it plants the auto -quill into the ground, 00:41:00.489 --> 00:41:03.349 there's like a soft log, and it like, pierces 00:41:03.349 --> 00:41:06.570 the log a little bit, and it like, hesitates 00:41:06.570 --> 00:41:08.909 just ever so slightly to like, have to pull the 00:41:08.909 --> 00:41:10.769 auto -quill out of the log as it continues to 00:41:10.769 --> 00:41:13.750 run. And that gives you a chance. And now the 00:41:13.750 --> 00:41:18.420 DN is only two. Alright. Classical school! I'm 00:41:18.420 --> 00:41:22.099 just gonna try to shoot this thing down. PN2. 00:41:23.019 --> 00:41:32.699 Alright. Well. I have a shift. Good job. Alright. 00:41:32.980 --> 00:41:36.539 Do I have one shift possible? Yes I do. So now 00:41:36.539 --> 00:41:38.440 don't forget, you can, because this is like a 00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:41.239 narrative thing, instead of shifting for damage 00:41:41.239 --> 00:41:42.860 you can shift - I was gonna shift this for effect. 00:41:43.280 --> 00:41:45.800 Extra, extra effect.

Instead of killing this monkey, you choose 00:44:10.389 --> 00:44:14.030 to just spank it with the flat end of your sword. 00:44:14.809 --> 00:44:18.829 And, like, you just, you get it good.

And, like, 00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:38.059 a lot of the monkeys that are, like, stealing, 00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:41.579 like, stop and look, and then that gives Chet 00:44:41.579 --> 00:44:45.300 an advantage of what he's about to do. Excellent. 00:44:46.300 --> 00:44:49.199 Chet, what do you do?

Uh, Chet's gonna 00:44:58.880 --> 00:45:02.400 keep shooting. He's gonna keep blasting. Alright. 00:45:03.309 --> 00:45:06.909 DN2, I guess then, since I gave you a DN3 last 00:45:06.909 --> 00:45:10.530 time. We'll reduce it by one, since they're distracted 00:45:10.530 --> 00:45:14.590 by potential red bottom. It's a good thing he 00:45:14.590 --> 00:45:21.110 helped you out. Your rifle is long, so your aim 00:45:21.110 --> 00:45:23.809 is getting messed up as they're swinging off 00:45:23.809 --> 00:45:27.650 your rifle. But just in time, with that loud 00:45:27.650 --> 00:45:30.980 screaming... the monkeys stop doing that just 00:45:30.980 --> 00:45:33.659 in time for you to blast a few more and with 00:45:33.659 --> 00:45:37.420 your combined effort the monkeys scatter back 00:45:37.420 --> 00:45:41.559 into the jungle through the tree troughs leaves 00:45:41.559 --> 00:45:45.099 and branches falling everywhere and just as like 00:45:45.099 --> 00:45:48.679 quickly as they came they are gone your campsite 00:45:48.679 --> 00:45:52.980 is a little beat up nothing important was lost 00:45:53.309 --> 00:45:56.489 You know, maybe some food, maybe they stole something 00:45:56.489 --> 00:45:58.550 that doesn't really matter to you that you don't 00:45:58.550 --> 00:46:02.110 notice. There's some minor damage to your tent 00:46:02.110 --> 00:46:05.170 and your camping supplies. Nothing that can't 00:46:05.170 --> 00:46:08.909 be fixed with time. But you have survived a small 00:46:08.909 --> 00:46:11.429 harassment detail of monkeys in the middle of 00:46:11.429 --> 00:46:13.889 the night.

Maybe you can make them into 00:46:42.039 --> 00:46:45.599 like a monkey jerky. I'm going to go and pick 00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:48.539 up my auto quill. Try to wipe off the blood. 00:46:49.840 --> 00:46:52.980 Oh, I think it's still my watch. Hopefully that's 00:46:52.980 --> 00:46:54.420 the rest of it.

The morning air, cool and crisp, carries 00:50:16.119 --> 00:50:18.760 a scent of dew -soaked leaves and earthly soil. 00:50:19.500 --> 00:50:22.360 Tiny droplets cling to the foliage, glisten like 00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:25.380 jewels as the first rays of sunlight pierce the 00:50:25.380 --> 00:50:29.320 shadows. The stream, quiet and reflective, catches 00:50:29.320 --> 00:50:32.780 the light. Its surface shimmers like molten gold 00:50:32.780 --> 00:50:36.139 as it winds through the forest.
