00:00Hello, one and all!
00:02Welcome to another thrilling episode of Adventuring Party.
00:04I'm your humble dungeon master,
00:04brilliant one with our intrepid heroes.
00:06Say hi, intrepid heroes!
00:07Hi, intrepid heroes!
00:10Zach, I laughed so fucking hard.
00:13I laughed so fucking hard at you screaming,
00:18Jesus Christ.
00:19It's so relatable, the moment at a party
00:22where someone does something,
00:24and they're trying to be cool,
00:25and they get so hurt that they can't
00:26pretend to be cool anymore.
00:27It's just like...
00:28This is serious now.
00:30And when you got hurt doing the math of being like,
00:33why didn't any of us think that was gonna work?
00:35It was just a snow bump of a high scooter.
00:38There's no jump!
00:39The scooter is the exact same size as a drain pipe.
00:42Yeah, the wheel of the scooter goes right in the gutter,
00:45and you fucking flip right into a dry pool!
00:49Have you ever not known what to do at a party
00:51and you land on something like that?
00:53I do know the moment of horror you're talking about, Ally,
00:56when you're looking at something and you're like,
00:57wow, what's so cool about this trick is
01:00every part of it I can see looks like a disaster
01:03is just about to happen.
01:05So it's gonna be really...
01:06I can't even imagine what's gonna not make this so bad.
01:10Because what happens if Zayt gets into the empty pool?
01:12Like Zayt happens even if he gets into the empty pool.
01:15He lands it.
01:16I guess you land it, still like breaking...
01:18The hope is to land.
01:19...collarbone as you like...
01:20Yeah.
01:20The full spiritual opposite of the shrimp jump.
01:23Yes.
01:24Full...
01:24When the shrimp jump, like Torek Railgrider took a long time
01:27to build the jump.
01:28Yes.
01:28You know, it was covered in tartar sauce.
01:30Yes, we were level 14.
01:33Level 14.
01:33We were also like way more magical.
01:34Yes.
01:35Way more magical.
01:35And we were doing it for like a political purpose
01:37for Kristen Appleby's.
01:39Yes.
01:39Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
01:41I also...
01:41I was kind of depressed about the Cold War.
01:44I also loved that.
01:47I didn't use any of my abilities.
01:49That would have helped me for sure.
01:50Sure, cat-like reflexes.
01:51I'm sure.
01:52I'm sure you got something on there.
01:53You can automatically pass checks to keep your balance.
01:57Add Solerity for non-combat dexterity tests or defense.
02:00Yeah, for sure.
02:01I was just kind of...
02:03I think it was...
02:04Zayt is really lost here.
02:06I love it.
02:07It's really great because even like you're making that charisma check,
02:10like thank God you didn't pass.
02:12Because I was like, if Zayt passes a charisma check,
02:16sadly doing donuts on a bird scooter.
02:19And I had to play a bunch of college students being like,
02:21hey, wait a minute.
02:22That's awesome.
02:25I will...
02:26We will strain...
02:27That's a lot of work.
02:28That's a lot of work for me.
02:29He was this strange adult who came to our party
02:32and then very sadly scooted around waiting for somebody to ask...
02:35This grown man is sad about the Cold War.
02:37God, that's so relatable.
02:39What's up with that?
02:40God damn.
02:41What's up with that?
02:42That's super cool.
02:43Trying to dance on him.
02:44Everyone you met, you were like, I'm sad for you.
02:47Yeah, yeah, totally, totally.
02:49He's just having a hard time.
02:51What the fuck is he sad right now?
02:54I'm hoping we're on an upward swing of an arc,
02:57but this is where he's at right now.
02:59This is where Zayt is at, man.
03:01Zayt Bandana.
03:02Pool bottom.
03:02He hit the pool bottom for sure.
03:05Country pool bottom.
03:07H.J. jumps in.
03:08He's dead.
03:09H.J. saved the day sounds like...
03:11There was a tiny pinhole in the masquerade and I stuck my finger and I went...
03:17Yeah, rip.
03:18He definitely could have just been like, I'll take him to the hospital.
03:21Yeah.
03:22But you still jumped straight up into the air.
03:24Straight up into the air.
03:25It's fine, you don't look like yourself.
03:26You look like yourself with 12 pounds of fingers.
03:29That face is running away with my lint body with that face.
03:34Yeah, plastic surgery is free if you just do it.
03:38This episode has several moments where I was watching Brennan just be like,
03:41how does this not just like end in everyone in Burpee knowing you're a vampire?
03:47Yeah.
03:47There were like four scenes where you were talking to someone where you're just like,
03:50give me an excuse for why you're here and just say something.
03:53The amount of times I have pitched people in this coterie,
03:56the amount of times the vampires in this coterie have had an NPC go,
03:59well, let me, let me, let me, I'm gonna say what I think is the likeliest reason you're here.
04:04And you all went, no.
04:07Was this the library episode?
04:09Yes, this is the library episode.
04:10I don't have a single point in anything social.
04:12Oh yes, that library scene was so fucking funny.
04:15Well that was also, I was in my kryptonite, which is the zoology session.
04:18Yes, the zoology session.
04:20And he was looking at a herpetology.
04:22And he was cute, so cute.
04:24Did I tell you, did I tell you that that was on Batchild's five year plan before her life was
04:28up ending?
04:29Herpetologist.
04:29That was like, herpetologists are the bad boys of the zoo.
04:33And it was like, Batchild was like, become the director of a zoo,
04:37fall in love with a herpetologist.
04:38It's built so soon.
04:40Sarah wouldn't be a herpetologist.
04:41You want to marry a herpetologist.
04:42Yeah, that's the bad boys of the zoo.
04:43Well, you just met him.
04:46And he was wearing Teva.
04:47And it didn't go well.
04:48What was that?
04:48He was wearing Teva's?
04:49He was wearing Teva's.
04:51When he shoots us with crossbows.
04:52I know.
04:54Um, bow.
04:55Yeah.
04:55That's kind of fun.
04:56That's a fun will they want there.
04:57Aaron bow.
04:57Aaron bow.
04:59I don't think.
04:59I don't think Aaron.
05:00And that makes me feel like a vampire.
05:02Yeah.
05:03Born in 02.
05:04Yeah.
05:04I mean, it's a 23 year old man.
05:0623 year old man.
05:07Yep, exactly.
05:08Yep.
05:09He was born after 9-11.
05:11Yeah, for sure.
05:11100%.
05:12So many of them are these days.
05:14So many of them are.
05:15Now you gotta ask people where they were on January 6th.
05:17Damn.
05:18Make sure they're old enough.
05:20So you guys found out.
05:21Not to make sure where they were, just to make sure they're.
05:24So let me.
05:25You had to get buzz folks.
05:27Open up for what?
05:27If you don't know how old somebody is, ask them where they were on January 6th.
05:30And if they don't have an answer for you, fuck them.
05:33I don't know.
05:33If they say they weren't born on January 6th, you go, I knew you were three.
05:36Yeah.
05:38You say, got him.
05:40Got him.
05:41You're three.
05:42Yeah.
05:42Up for me.
05:47The, but we found out a bunch of stuff this episode.
05:50You found out that Bigfoot kicked Zachy Lee Maple to death.
05:54Yeah.
05:54There it is.
05:55Kicked apart was one of my favorite terms.
05:58Got kicked apart by Bigfoot.
05:59Master of Kumite.
06:00Master of Kumite.
06:01Yeah.
06:01I wrote down, after kicked apart, a thing that Murph said that he said as one word.
06:08Mm-hmm.
06:08In turn, it felt like a sentence that was, had no spaces at all in it.
06:13And it was, nothing, I'm superhero, I wouldn't do that.
06:17Nothing, I'm superhero.
06:19What?
06:19Because you're, you're talking about blaming the.
06:22Blaming the Bigfoot.
06:23Blaming the Bigfoot and then walking it back immediately.
06:25Nothing, I'm superhero, why would I do that?
06:27Yeah.
06:30Yeah.
06:32Dark Nisman's very defensive.
06:34Yeah.
06:34For sure.
06:35Yeah.
06:36Really, really special.
06:39The, and also like, yeah, very fun going to talk to Zachy Lee Maple, seeing the sort
06:44of spirit of this like town hero that, but that did appear to like be engaged in some
06:51foul government work that Bigfoot had to come and put an end to.
06:55It's a union job.
06:56It's a union job.
06:58It's, it's an interesting thing.
06:59There's like, oh, maybe a little insight into that idea of like different forces within
07:03the town.
07:03So it's like Zachy Lee's trying to take care of these construction workers that are local
07:06hires.
07:06But yet you're still engaged in a malevolent endeavor.
07:11What?
07:11So wait, so with him dying in that way, and then it was, there was a mass casualty
07:16event.
07:17That was the mass casualty event.
07:18Darkness Man called it, that the plaque was a false.
07:23Yeah.
07:23I see, I see, I see.
07:24Like he died in this, in this mass casualty event, but he was the only local.
07:28He had like sent the other workers away.
07:29I see, I see.
07:30And was the only local that died.
07:32The only local that was kicked apart.
07:34Kicked apart by Bigfoot.
07:35Or the master of the Kumite.
07:37Master of Kumite.
07:38Maybe Inventor.
07:39Perhaps Inventor.
07:42That's really good, Zach.
07:44It was Rhea.
07:44I was, I, it's actor of beautiful picture.
07:47Gotta, gotta say, Madeleine D'Artois.
07:50Oh shit.
07:50Absolutely killing the game here in Purpy.
07:52That's good.
07:52She be fucking.
07:54She be fucking out here.
07:55But, but also fucking like tactically.
07:58It's very funny because sex scenes in TTRPGs almost always feel gratuitous.
08:03Except in this campaign they are furthering the plot informatically.
08:08Yeah.
08:09They're a fundamentally sensual.
08:11But it's, they are, they are sensual and sexual, but also they're always fucking for a reason.
08:17Yeah.
08:17Like, like ultimately they are fetus.
08:21It's fun and cool.
08:22Yeah.
08:22Cause it's fun and cool.
08:24Fucking is fun and cool ultimately.
08:26For a reason.
08:26I agree.
08:27I agree.
08:28Like there's, there, there, there's often like an undead.
08:31Like there's a, the fucking is fun, but then there's also a secondary motive.
08:34Yes.
08:35I like that we're realizing some people have resistances.
08:38Yes.
08:39Through this stuff.
08:40Like him not really falling for it.
08:42I'm interested to, he's just falling for it in a regular doofus kind of a way.
08:45So yeah, Aaron, Aaron was interesting because you didn't get a supernatural thing from him.
08:48It could be that he was a supernatural thing or it could just be that he was prepared.
08:52Sure.
08:53Ready, ready for a psychic ability.
08:54Yeah, he's been doing his scriptos while he used it.
08:55I think, I think these dudes have talismans or something.
08:57Yeah.
08:57Oh.
08:58I think they have like cool shit.
08:59Oh.
09:00They got a cool necklace from the grandpa.
09:01I think they have silver necklaces.
09:03Oh yeah.
09:04Well cause we learned that thing.
09:05What was the, what was the moment where you talked about this as being a well?
09:09Was it, that was this episode.
09:10Oh, that was this episode as well.
09:11Oh yeah.
09:12Where I was talking about when Madeline was reaching out with her Auspex that it was like the town,
09:17like wherever this mine was was maybe.
09:20Sure, that was filled with water.
09:21Filled with water.
09:21A silver mine filled with water.
09:22Silver mine filled with water.
09:24Silver, water.
09:25Holy water.
09:25Something going on.
09:26And also a traumatic spiritual event that like potentially just starts to attract each other.
09:35Like if you're a vampire, do you want to be in a town that has no other magic shit going
09:38on or a town that has some other magic shit going on?
09:40Sure.
09:40Is there some other ability for a little bit of arcane, a little bit of occultism to cover your tracks?
09:44And it seems like this, like in other words, what, what's this big, like this government satellite site might have
09:52just been, you know, there's like fucking nukes under malls in the United States of America, right?
09:58But there's-
09:59My town is, the town I grew up in is filled with military tunnels.
10:02Yeah, filled with military tunnels, right?
10:03Up the wazoo.
10:04Both is just riddled with tunnels.
10:06The only thing interesting about this one is it just discovered a frequency where they could hear the ghosts in
10:12this mine and started to experiment on that.
10:14And it's also from the time when they were doing like the men that scream at goats type LSD shit.
10:20Yeah.
10:20Where the government was just fully bonkers.
10:23Dexter, Uncle Sam needs you to put this square on your tongue and try to make this goat do something
10:27with your mind.
10:28Yeah.
10:29Yeah, it's the real shit that they were doing at Area 51 that they were using the aliens to cover
10:33up.
10:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:34Right.
10:34Right.
10:35Yeah, brother.
10:36Great.
10:39We also had, also my god, where we ended the episode, Nancy Danderhoff.
10:47An NPC that I must-
10:48What a name.
10:49I must credit Murph and Emily for, for sending me Nancy.
10:53Nancy Danderhoff.
10:54You were like, there was some flaw where one of you guys had an enemy.
10:56Yeah, there's a flaw that I have an enemy.
10:58Yes.
10:59Yeah.
10:59So, like, because you can choose a flaw.
11:03So, we wanted to come up with a good enemy.
11:05Yeah.
11:06And a local reporter, yeah.
11:08She writes for the Omaha Sunday Scoop.
11:11She writes the around the town column for Omaha's beloved Sunday Scoop.
11:16And she was the one who, when there was some exsanguinations happening at the Henry Dorley Zoo and Aquarium, basically
11:23said, there was a rumor of superheroes in that town.
11:27And she was the first person that said, for superheroes, a lot of the people they're fighting end up completely
11:34drained of all blood.
11:35Yeah.
11:35I think this might be vampires.
11:38Yeah.
11:40That piece never ran, but it almost ran.
11:45It took some intercession from some Camarilla vampires that also scooped you guys up and brought you to San Francisco,
11:51thus ending your tenure in Omaha.
11:53Yeah.
11:53We gotta get Danderhoff off the scent.
11:55Yeah.
11:55And onto some other scents, because she's a hell of a journalist.
11:58She's a great journalist.
12:00Oh.
12:00If we could get her on the Sasquatch feet.
12:02Recruit her.
12:03And get her on the way her feet.
12:04That's a very funny moment for the part of this campaign that is also political intrigue of being like, you
12:10gotta give me something.
12:11I'm either gonna light up your masquerade, or you gotta give me Bigfoot.
12:15Totally, totally, totally.
12:16Nancy, I will give you Bigfoot.
12:18Nancy, I'll give you Bigfoot.
12:19The enemy of my enemy is Bigfoot.
12:21The enemy of my enemy is Bigfoot.
12:21The enemy of my enemy is Bigfoot.
12:22Because truthfully, I'm rooting for her career.
12:25We respect Nancy Tender.
12:26We respect her.
12:27We respect and fear Nancy Tender.
12:28In another world, she's my mom.
12:31My mom wrote for the Bluestone Press in High Falls.
12:36She wrote for, she spent some years writing for, support your local newspapers.
12:41They do some really excellent reporting.
12:45We also finally got Mike's Bar.
12:48We had a huge roll from Levante here.
12:50Huge win.
12:50Oh my god, the speed bumps, great in with that particular type of guy.
12:53Hey, you know, what's a biker like to complain about if not speed bumps?
12:57Yeah.
13:00And I think that you, having a stake in Mike's Bar, the ability to kind of like move around
13:08in there with some degree of freedom, host this movie night there.
13:12You also have your first retainer, we'll get your dot in retainer here, Tyler Morimoto.
13:17Who is both a bit of a biz dev freak, but also seems to have a kind heart.
13:22Perfect.
13:23Here in town, taking care of his grandpa.
13:26Yup.
13:27Maybe he's into whatever weird shenanigans are going on in these old people's homes as
13:32well.
13:32Yeah, we can hear about treatment and stuff.
13:36And we got a ton of info, both through, like the personal info that would not be readily
13:41available, but just like from Cal and Anna about like the layout of the Whitaker family.
13:47Yeah.
13:48And what that looks like and who's doing what, you know.
13:52Who's doing who?
13:52Cal pitched a docent at the Louvre partnering with a local art gallery in Purpy to make an
13:58NFT of the Mona Lisa.
14:01A painting that he had never heard of before, even though he works for an art gallery.
14:04But he works for an art gallery.
14:05That's correct.
14:06Yes, absolutely.
14:07Uh-huh.
14:08And Cal seemed pretty mad that Anna did not believe in him.
14:12You gotta believe in this vision.
14:13She got a big rock.
14:14She got a big rock.
14:16She got a big rock.
14:16She got a big rock on that finger.
14:19We also, that scene with you and Anna was so...
14:25The fucking...
14:26It's so fun to be fully shameless.
14:29Yes.
14:30Fully shameless.
14:31And to have, to be like, to be like on my character sheet.
14:35Yeah.
14:35The stuff I didn't even, I realized I didn't even use because I have two points of beautiful.
14:39Oh.
14:40Which also gives me extra dice in any kind of seduction stuff.
14:43It's just so funny.
14:44I should have been rolling like 11 dice.
14:46To be in a campaign where it's like, sometimes your character has super speed.
14:49Sometimes you have super strength.
14:51Yes.
14:51And in this game, it's like, I'm so hot that I can say the most insane shit anyone has ever
14:56said.
14:57And it works and people love it.
14:58Or somebody can say the most insane thing to me.
15:00And if I say that I believe them, they're like, I'm in love with you forever.
15:03I'm in love with you forever.
15:04I definitely felt like coming in, I was like, oh, well, we have like a lot of charisma people.
15:08We should like, share the wealth.
15:10And now I'm like, I should have just played someone charismatic.
15:12Should have played someone charismatic.
15:14It's kind of the currency.
15:16There's some, there's some like bumps like, oh, and I add two dice for my, and I'm like,
15:19I gotta go back and write cons.
15:21Like, I need to be adding some dice to some of this shit.
15:24Like, I did make it pretty much.
15:26I mean, as soon as I get into anything intelligent or fighting, I am fully useless.
15:30Oh, yeah, yeah.
15:30Except I am quite good.
15:31I have one point in fencing.
15:33Oh.
15:34But if that comes up, I'll be able to fight a little bit.
15:37Well, in terms of best at is what hurt me so bad.
15:41Yeah, you rolled like eight dice and got one success and one failure.
15:46Yeah.
15:47Worth it.
15:48But also, there's a funny thing here, too, which is the...
15:54In terms of like fights, there are some physical threats that you guys have isolated.
16:01Yeah, Aaron's coming for us for sure.
16:02Yeah.
16:02Yeah.
16:03Well, your best thing is stealth, right?
16:05It's plus like being beefy.
16:06My best stuff is brawl.
16:07Okay, yeah, yeah.
16:08Yeah, I have like a touch of oblivion where I can just break someone's arm.
16:12Oh, yeah.
16:13That's so sick.
16:15Incredible.
16:15Well, I feel like we now, we're starting to develop targets, you know?
16:18Yeah, yeah.
16:18I'm gonna eat Barnaby Whittaker.
16:20Oh, I would love that.
16:22I love that read.
16:23Only in the next episode.
16:24Right away.
16:25I want to steal the dog and kill the old man.
16:27I wrote down the family tree to just be like, gonna eat Florian.
16:33Florian is such an evil name.
16:34Appetizer.
16:35Jonathan.
16:36Actually, there's a really good Potter named Florian.
16:38I do like that, but that is the poshest name I've ever heard in my life.
16:41Oh, we do have, I wrote down the divorce.
16:44Florian is getting divorced.
16:45Oh, yeah.
16:46Florian and Elizabeth.
16:47Maybe we could set up Florian with Trouble in Paradise.
16:50No, but Florian probably sucks.
16:52Yeah, I think Florian sucks.
16:53Elizabeth and Beth.
16:54Yeah.
16:55I think we can go to Beth.
16:55Beth and Beth.
16:57Beth and Beth.
16:58My Beth and Beth.
16:59So sweet.
16:59Beth and Beth besties forever.
17:02Yeah, you guys have some targets.
17:03They're just holding hands because they love each other protonically.
17:05There's some interesting magical stuff around town.
17:06You're starting to see some interesting, you're now stakeholders in a business.
17:09Yep.
17:09Um, first of many.
17:11Yes, finally we have champagne.
17:12We're, that's like, first fix the restrooms, second buy the champagne.
17:17The champagne room.
17:18Yeah.
17:18And then we, yes, next is Sweetie's.
17:20We'll use the champagne from Mike's to fill up the champagne room.
17:22That's right.
17:23Great.
17:23That's great.
17:24I love it.
17:25Yeah, heading into, do you guys have any goals hovering in mind that are on your immediate docket?
17:31You have your 13 tasks to take over.
17:34Yeah.
17:34I think my life's goal is to impress Bigfoot.
17:38Right now.
17:38Bigfoot.
17:39Well, there's an interesting thing because there's multiple sort of tracks running.
17:42Cause like the.
17:43You're just impossible to pin down.
17:46Well, here's.
17:47Yeah, well because my dream will never happen.
17:49I will never be the director of a zoo.
17:52Hey, if we.
17:53Well, if we take over the government, we can fund a zoo.
17:56You have hundreds of years to be the director of a zoo.
17:58But I'll say this.
17:59I'm gonna impress Bigfoot.
18:00I'll say this too for Bat Child because the thing that Bat Child does have, if not charisma, is this
18:07ghost powers, connection to these ghosts.
18:10Oh, that is sick.
18:11That is so beautiful.
18:11There is, in other words, there is a tremendous amount of magical activity in Perpi as well as this mundane
18:18civic stuff with the college students, with the city council, everything like that.
18:22And I'll say too, Zayt is feeling a little bit lost at the moment.
18:26You do have animalism.
18:28And you did meet a dog.
18:29And that dog's name is Bingo.
18:32I kind of have my heart set on a different animal.
18:37We can read this as that.
18:40Bigfoot.
18:41I'm gonna let you know, we've been playing together for many years.
18:44If I put something and you guys go to a distant field with nothing in it, you will be in
18:50that field.
18:52You will be in the horse field for as long as you need to be.
18:56And I won't make there be new stuff in the horse field.
18:58Bingo will run by in the background of the horse field.
19:01I really thought that you were expressing what a charismatic dog it was to be like, hint, hint, you could
19:06run this dog against the mayor.
19:08But you were just really trying to be like, Zayt, this dog is awesome.
19:13Yeah.
19:13Oh, you can absolutely run that dog for mayor.
19:16Don't get me wrong.
19:17I know, but your impetus was like, I want to show Zayt he can talk to this.
19:20Zayt, he's a dog.
19:22He's a dog.
19:22I've been sort of just looking for a horse.
19:26Was that ever set up?
19:28I said, this is a one horse town.
19:30And I'm going to meet the horse.
19:32And that's it?
19:33Then that's it.
19:33Then there was a soft moment where Zayt tried to leave the party.
19:37Yeah.
19:37But then you wouldn't need help wrinkling.
19:39I talked wrinkling.
19:39It's so funny.
19:41This makes so much sense.
19:42This has never been talked about on Kim or anything.
19:45This is my first time running a more sandboxy campaign where we've put all this work into fleshing out the
19:52town.
19:52And the funny thing about a sandbox campaign is when you actually develop all this shit and you're not improvising
19:56through it, you get to these weird places where you're like, there's not a horse, man.
20:00I didn't make a horse.
20:01Totally, totally.
20:01In any other campaign, I would have instantly crafted a beautiful horse.
20:05One of the first things I told you about my character is that he has a Michael Clayton-like experience
20:11with a horse.
20:14It kind of makes sense because you keep getting onto vehicles.
20:20Yeah.
20:20Like I'm ditching that.
20:21Horse power.
20:22The motorcycle, the scooter.
20:24Zayt can talk to animals?
20:25Yeah.
20:27It's part of why I'm obsessed with Zayt.
20:29I had no fucking clue.
20:30I have animalism, bond familias.
20:33I'm waiting to find the perfect animal.
20:35And you've never said anything to tell us you're sad about the Cold War?
20:40What are you doing?
20:43Well, we'll see if-
20:44Zayt's a complicated one.
20:45We'll have to watch The Adventure Party to know what your character is doing.
20:50It's right here, dude.
20:51When we come back in next week's episode of City Council of Darkness, we'll see if I relent and let
20:58Zayt find a horse.
20:59Tune in next week.
21:00Say the shit in the episode.
21:01You have to.
21:03It's a 45 minute episode of Zayt, wander around.
21:06You can't say in the fucking after show.
21:07Nay!
21:08Nay!
21:08I make more and more dogs coming up being like-
21:12And the audience has no idea why you're doing that because they don't know.
21:16Oh!
21:16Michael Flayton experience.
21:17That was a boobish experience.
21:17I didn't care at all!
21:17That was my job pretty-
