00:00Hello, one and all!
00:02Welcome to another episode of Adventuring Party.
00:03I'm your humble dungeon master, Brennan Lee Mulligan.
00:05With me as always, our intrepid heroes.
00:06Say hi, intrepid heroes.
00:07Hi, intrepid heroes.
00:09You know it.
00:09You know it.
00:10You know it.
00:11You know it.
00:12You know it.
00:13What an epp!
00:14Holy smokes, we did it.
00:16We did it.
00:17What a touching scene between Herbert Melvin
00:20and the ancient fraternal.
00:22Oh my goodness.
00:23What a lovely scene with you becoming the.
00:26So unexpected and just so advantageous
00:29for what we're doing.
00:30I really thought they were doing it.
00:31I thought that was Swingles Night level shenanigans.
00:34Yes.
00:34Of just going and joining.
00:36I thought I was like, I'm gonna say I'm gonna join.
00:37They're gonna tell me I'm not,
00:38but I'm gonna get information.
00:40But then they were just like.
00:41But you're in.
00:42And you rolled really well.
00:43It makes sense.
00:45For the amount of time it took us to get in
00:46with the other council members or get rid of them,
00:49for that to just be easy to walk in the door
00:51and talk to the guy.
00:52Yeah.
00:52I think that when I found out that it was like,
00:55it was so up Bat Child's alley to begin with.
00:58Yes.
00:59Totally.
00:59When it was like, oh, we raise money
01:01for children's hospitals.
01:02I was like, I actually sincerely want to join.
01:05I want to bring my quarters in.
01:07Subterfuge.
01:08And they play skee-ball and I get to play with go-karts.
01:11Like a fun club that's not like straight up
01:14like a fucking WeWork, which is what it feels like
01:16they are today.
01:17Yeah.
01:18I'm so jealous of that in real life.
01:20Yes.
01:20A members only club that isn't,
01:23is actually going to hang out with people yet.
01:26Yeah.
01:26It's very funny because there's a lot of like the,
01:30it's just a weird thing when you're like,
01:32oh, voluntary.
01:33These last two episodes we've found these like,
01:35voluntary community centers.
01:36It's the food co-op.
01:38Here's the Knights Templar.
01:40Places like this.
01:41It's like, where can we congregate and be a community?
01:46Right?
01:47And I've seen so many of these little chapter houses.
01:50I feel like for some reason,
01:52homeschooling, there were a lot of them.
01:53It's like, okay, where can we go?
01:54Where can we go have a writer's group?
01:56Or where can we go have something like this?
01:57It's like, well, there's like a community center over here
02:00that's this little, you know, whatever.
02:02Or you end up just like shot in one the other day.
02:05And it's like, it's not that all of them,
02:08it's not like the politics of every weird little
02:11like all male 1950s lodge is great.
02:14But it is an interesting thing to be like,
02:18oh, places where we all get excited to bowl
02:21with our neighbors go away and get replaced
02:23with retail therapy on Amazon.
02:26What do we do?
02:27What happens in like-
02:28Where's the pancake breakfast supposed to be?
02:30Yeah.
02:31You can't have an online pancake breakfast.
02:33Yeah.
02:34Where's that supposed to happen?
02:35Where's that happening?
02:36You don't need to like the one at the church.
02:38You don't need to like the one at the lodge.
02:39You don't need to like the one at the other weird place
02:41that has some other like thing about it.
02:43But goddamn, there's probably a good idea
02:46in having a place you go get pancakes, right?
02:48Yeah, sure.
02:49And it felt very fun to have.
02:51I also just love the, it's like some of it is rooted
02:55in a like, a xenophobia that's not great.
03:00But there is something about the like,
03:01when you watch the Wizard of Oz and he's like,
03:04this crystal ball from the pharaohs of ancient Egypt.
03:07Just the obsession from that time period
03:09of the United States was like, the light of Alexandria.
03:12Like just the, that kind of feeling is so-
03:15Totally, just all white guys and fezzes.
03:17Yes, white guys and fezzes being like,
03:19this order has been passed down for time immemorial.
03:22Right.
03:22Founded three years ago.
03:24Yeah, exactly, like getting like,
03:26was it Cleopatra and Lao Tzu?
03:27Yeah, yeah.
03:28I didn't know they were friends.
03:29Yeah, totally.
03:30They absolutely were not friends,
03:31but that is not gonna slow these guys down.
03:33They're just excited about history.
03:35Yeah, very, very silly.
03:37Yeah, it's so, it's, I love even just the map of it.
03:40You made it really realistic.
03:42The amount of, the size of that building,
03:45for the Templars, is crazy.
03:46Yes, for full people.
03:47It just would never exist today.
03:48It would just like, the amount that that property is worth.
03:51Right.
03:51You're just like, oh yeah, space is just more scarce
03:53for a generation.
03:54And they're just, it's all going on until-
03:55And it's, everything is asbestos in that building.
03:58Ah!
03:58The Elks Lodge in Pasadena, where I grew up,
04:02is like, sits on a mountaintop.
04:04And it is like a, it is like, the building is massive.
04:09And I spent all of my childhood being like,
04:10what is this place?
04:12Sure.
04:12And I, you know, I learned now that I guess,
04:15old men gathered there sometimes.
04:17Crazy.
04:18The Masonic Temple in Bath is in,
04:20right in the center of Bath.
04:21And the outside is so beautiful.
04:24And I, of course, have never seen the inside,
04:25because there are no windows.
04:27There's no windows?
04:27Whoa.
04:28It's just a weird, beautiful building.
04:30What are you gonna do?
04:31Yeah.
04:32But the, but yeah, there's, there is a,
04:34there is a big thing of like, whatever,
04:36whatever that institution is going to be.
04:38You know, it's like, the, the berets,
04:41and the go-karts, and the skee-ball.
04:44It's, there is some, there is some, you see like,
04:46oh, if we have skee-ball here, we'll all be here.
04:50And if we're all here, we'll talk about
04:53what's going on in the town.
04:55You know, like, ah, we'll all, ah, got it, community.
04:59Yes, okay, got it, got it, got it, got it.
05:02Um, ah.
05:03I went to one of those in London.
05:04I don't know what it's, like, the category is called,
05:07but it's like, leftover from like, the labor movements?
05:10Sure, yeah.
05:11Yeah, there's a bunch of working men's clubs.
05:13Yeah, yeah, I went to one of those.
05:14Which are like, I mean.
05:15The, the Freemason thing is like, literally from
05:19old masonry guilds.
05:20Like actual, yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:21This one was cool, though.
05:22The bar was super cheap if you were there with a member,
05:24and you had to sign a log, and the person, like, signs you in.
05:27But drinks literally were like a doll, like a pound or whatever.
05:31I was like, oh, cool.
05:33And there was a sign of disco going on upstairs,
05:35and they were just like, super, like, eccentric old women,
05:38like, dancing so hard.
05:40You just hear, like, footsteps and stuff like that.
05:41You just hear, and then I put the headphones on,
05:43and there was Daft Punk.
05:45It was so cute.
05:47More and more guitar.
05:47Yeah, they're just like.
05:49Speaking of cheap drinks, we, we got over to Patty Babcock.
05:53Yes.
05:54Here, here.
05:55You really won him over.
05:57You're breaking him down.
05:58Just, just all the conversations leading up to this scene,
06:02where I know how deeply affected you were by Patty,
06:05and so the whole scene, when you're like,
06:07I don't even care, dude.
06:09Really, really, that whole time.
06:10I don't know, he's on, he's on heroin, probably.
06:14The city drugs from the city.
06:16I feel like I was started by being like,
06:18okay, we'll do reverse tact.
06:20Yeah, totally.
06:20But then I got caught up in the, I got caught up in having fun.
06:25You know, it was a full, you know it, moment again,
06:29where I feel like I lost the thread of what I even called for this scene for.
06:35Oh my God.
06:35And I was just like, what if Levante just did not know how to connect with this young man,
06:40and it was just impossible.
06:42So funny.
06:43So funny.
06:43I kept being, him being like, yeah, yeah, yeah, but Tina, what does Tina make a lot of money?
06:49And you were like, I don't care.
06:51Yeah.
06:52I just, I was like, I, you know, we were leaning into a loof, you know?
06:56Yeah.
06:56He didn't like me leaning in, so we're leaning all the way out.
06:59We're leaning all the way out.
07:00Maybe there's a lot of money in it, I don't know.
07:02I don't know.
07:03You're like so, so she's leaving money on the table?
07:06I thought it, I thought it.
07:07Yeah.
07:07I thought it.
07:08Because now you can follow up and be like, I just found out she does make a lot of money.
07:11I think it was, I think it was a longer con.
07:13I think that you planted a seed.
07:15Every down time, my side hustle is now Patty Bam.
07:18Go.
07:19You're like, H.J. came back from a bender and let me know that.
07:21Patty, you gotta just turn.
07:23Well, honestly, my original idea was that I was going to be wearing 80s jogger gear
07:28and just running up and down Barnabas Street, waiting for him to come out.
07:33Oh, Patty, I didn't know.
07:34I guess it did see you.
07:36But then we established the Christmas tree lighting and I thought that would be more fun.
07:39That's fun.
07:40That's really fun.
07:41But yeah.
07:42Yeah, man, I don't know.
07:43I'm going to get this kid one day.
07:45One day.
07:45I think you planted really first.
07:48You really did.
07:49Yeah, exactly.
07:49You actually really did.
07:50Yeah, you got to make friends with one of his friends and then send his friend a thing
07:56about how much the dog is eating.
07:58Tyler's next assignment is just to become friends with Patty Babcock and then invite me.
08:03What?
08:04No way.
08:06Oh, that's so weird.
08:07You're friends with my boy?
08:08That scene at the gun range was one of the wildest things.
08:11Oh my God.
08:12Yeah.
08:12We kicked it off with a couple failures.
08:14The idea of-
08:15You can't match energy with this guy.
08:17I get that Patty Babcock was crazy.
08:19That scene was wild.
08:21Sometimes you think that there's like a carrot dangling somewhere where there isn't.
08:26Yeah.
08:27And you're like, well, we haven't been to the gun club.
08:29Clearly I'm going to bring this into the wild ocean.
08:30That is not what happened.
08:32When I thought-
08:48Yeah.
08:48Who was there?
08:49Aaron.
08:50You found him.
08:51Got it.
08:51Got it.
08:52And then he ran into the woods.
08:52You're right.
08:53And then he ran into the woods and you were like, I'm not following him.
08:55I said, that's enough.
08:56I'm an old man.
08:58I'm an old man.
09:00It's a funny thing to be like, my side hustle is I want to jump in the tiger pit.
09:04And you jump in and I'm like, there's a tiger down here.
09:05And you go, ah, I'm out.
09:07Do you have any physical like-
09:09No.
09:10I don't think so.
09:11Oh, you have-
09:12You-
09:14Okay.
09:14You have two in firearms.
09:15I've got two in firearms.
09:17But do you have a gun?
09:19Oh no.
09:19The fact that you have three in Croft, including-
09:23Just imagine you casually getting murdered during downtime.
09:28The rest of us don't know what you're doing.
09:30You just lose a fight in the woods and die.
09:32Dude, that's why I didn't go.
09:34If you were right to not go, you were absolutely right to not go.
09:37We do have cell phones.
09:39You could have probably like texted us while you were dying and we could have-
09:43We could have gotten your body or something.
09:46That's true.
09:47That's true.
09:48You're right.
09:49Yeah, that was-
09:50That moment when Homeboy started running at the Axemen.
09:53Oh my god.
09:54Shooting blanks.
09:55Oh my god.
09:55It's blanks.
09:56They're blanks.
09:57They're blanks.
09:58They're blanks.
09:59Relax, they're blanks.
10:02God, it's so funny.
10:03Wild.
10:04Is his name Malcolm Thornton?
10:07Martin Thornton?
10:08Martin Thornton?
10:08Huh?
10:09That guy's a flaw for you now?
10:10Wait, he should be.
10:11Oh yeah, is he an enemy?
10:12We should recruit him.
10:14Recruit him.
10:15Recruit him.
10:15He'd be great.
10:16Kind of a wild card.
10:16I have a feeling that he's like super on Boyd Douglas' side.
10:20Yeah, yeah, totally.
10:22Yeah, Boyd owns it.
10:23That's interesting to know.
10:25Maybe we already knew that though.
10:26We had Jan, we had Nancy Danderhoff come back.
10:29That sucked.
10:30That just sucked.
10:31I hate it when you just can't roll anything at all.
10:35Yeah, yeah.
10:35But I mean, I had a carriage, so it's nice to have a carriage.
10:38You got a carriage?
10:39That's fun.
10:40You're a carriage guy now.
10:42I'm sort of a carriage guy.
10:44It's beautiful.
10:44It really seems like a Hallmark.
10:45It's going to pay for itself.
10:46It's going to pay for itself.
10:47$20,000.
10:48I thought that maybe you were going to be able to like Hallmark movie your way into her heart.
10:52For sure.
10:52Well, I just have to find her next time.
10:55I believe.
10:56I have to meet her one time.
10:57Yeah.
10:58For that to possibly start to happen.
10:59Yeah, well as soon as you meet her, she will fall in love.
11:02Yeah, you guys, anyone you talk to, they're in love with.
11:04I did think there was sexual chemistry in that scene with Nancy Danderhoff.
11:07Yeah.
11:07Yeah, it's juicy cherry.
11:09Wait, but darkness man!
11:10Come on!
11:11Darkness man!
11:13Darkness man, he can shoot his shot.
11:15I would never do that to darkness man.
11:18Or Dan Danderhoff.
11:20But mostly.
11:21Dan Danderhoff's, yeah.
11:23Dan Danderhoff's going to kick your ass, man.
11:26You don't know what their status of their relationship is.
11:28They could be open.
11:29I also love that I've played so many big, out of left field NPCs, that just doing Irish folklore really
11:38threw everybody for a win.
11:40That was crazy.
11:40Making one shoe at a time, it's real.
11:43I think especially after the first two crazy people we met.
11:45Yeah.
11:45Yes.
11:46No.
11:46Yes, for sure.
11:48Just saying.
11:48Just saying.
11:49I live in the hedge.
11:50For crazy beats.
11:51I live in the hedge.
11:52That's my home.
11:54No.
11:55I live in the, it was like apologetic.
11:57And she's not allowed to move hedges.
11:59She has to stay in this hedge even though the people that she followed here don't live here anymore.
12:03And she's making a shoe for them.
12:06What's the thing?
12:06Just one single shoe for them.
12:07That's just putting dry cocoa into a schnapps bottle and shaking it?
12:11No, she's putting liquid hot cocoa and mixing it in a peppermint schnapps bottle.
12:14Oh.
12:14So it's like pepper, alcoholic peppermint hot cocoa.
12:17Why?
12:17I mean that sounds delicious but you could do it so much better.
12:20Schnapps isn't mythology though.
12:21Put the schnapps into the hot cocoa.
12:23No, no.
12:23That's why she said later, this just me.
12:25This is the drink I like.
12:26The great, for me the wildest part of that scene was the fact that you guys had sex afterwards.
12:32You're like, this is my life, this is my lifestyle.
12:35Just like two ferrets.
12:37Do you wanna fuck down here?
12:39And you're like, all right.
12:42What's up man?
12:44Sure.
12:44Listen, I'm like, I'm so old.
12:48There it is.
12:48I fucked in many a hedge.
12:50All dancing, many a hedge.
12:51Listen, if you got propositioned.
12:52Back in my day, you can fuck at home if you were unmarried.
12:55You had to fuck in a hedge.
12:56You got propositioned by Estelle Laurent there at the end.
12:59Who said that she was the May and you were the December.
13:02And she's right.
13:03And she's right.
13:04She's right.
13:04Yeah, absolutely.
13:06Every relationship up until this point has been deeply inappropriate on my part.
13:10I love it.
13:10That's just that my thing.
13:12So she, I mean, I guess we'll find out.
13:13But the vibe I'm getting is that she is somewhat supernatural.
13:18But the bigger thing is she's able to clock people.
13:21And is that how she writes such amazing books?
13:23She's like actually pointing.
13:25That was the impression I got.
13:26Yeah, there appears to be some kind of little bit of interview with a vampire-y kind of like.
13:30Sure, yeah.
13:31She doesn't feel like we're her host vampires.
13:34Yeah.
13:34And we got the mages.
13:35And we got the mages.
13:37And we got the mages.
13:37Mad doesn't say that, but guys.
13:40So we've, everything we've done, we've only crossed off one of our 14.
13:44Well, yeah.
13:45Which ones are the mages?
13:46We're all making progress on the mages.
13:48The mages are Cody and Maya.
13:52We're about to check off Aaron.
13:55Yeah.
13:55Cody, I think, might be a werewolf.
13:57Ooh.
13:58And then I'll check off Cody.
14:00Because they were also talking about full moons.
14:02Yeah.
14:03But that's the thing though, because it's repel the lupines at all costs.
14:06Like, if they're just like cool werewolves that run a hostel, we're just not going to do that.
14:12Yeah, for sure.
14:12Yeah.
14:13Like, if they're chill, and they're chill with us.
14:16Well, yeah.
14:16If we just get them a little outside.
14:17Finally.
14:18It's a little between the vampires.
14:19Oh, we can repel the werewolves.
14:21Oh, wait.
14:23Oh, wait.
14:24Oh, my God.
14:24The Camarilla is going to love Vince.
14:27They love wordplay.
14:27God, they love wordplay.
14:29If they're just chill like campers.
14:32They're going to open a rock climbing gym.
14:32They will repel the lupines.
14:34Damn.
14:35This goes all the way to the top, and then all the way back to the bottom.
14:38Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
14:38We can repel the lupines.
14:41Okay, great.
14:41We got it.
14:41Can we just cross that off right now?
14:43Yeah.
14:43Yeah, let's do it.
14:44Wait, are they all like that?
14:46On the leg, Cody.
14:47Take care of any Fae ghosts and demons.
14:51You took care of Fae.
14:52You took care of Fae.
14:53Fae is done, baby.
14:55Ghosts are done.
14:55Crossed it off.
14:57Wow.
14:57Maybe we are farther along on a lot of these than we otherwise thought.
15:01Yeah.
15:01And it was very cool.
15:03I loved Madeline stumbling into the opportunity of like, what gets a style on your side?
15:10Nancy Danderhoff.
15:11You can make the connect.
15:12That's so crazy.
15:13Make the connect.
15:13But I'm also like, I told her about Kelly but then I was like, but now she knows if I'm
15:20a vampire.
15:20Kelly doesn't know I'm a vampire.
15:22She wants to meet Kelly.
15:24She's not going to tell your secret though.
15:25She says, I don't tell people secrets.
15:27Sure.
15:27She says that.
15:28I mean, she's like in a mansion on the hill so she probably is very professional.
15:35Yeah.
15:35And is like making a ton of money off of this and doesn't need to sell.
15:38All people in mansions are very professional.
15:40That's what I've learned.
15:42She's in a mansion on a hill and she skydives into a quarry.
15:47Clearly she's on the starwalk so that there's a big diving board into the quarry.
15:53The quarry.
15:54The quarry.
15:55The quarry.
15:55The quarry.
15:56I've got a quarry.
15:58I've only read the quarry with you.
16:00I've read it.
16:00So you guys have to get Nancy her story and we've got the juicy cherry.
16:04This is the juicy cherry I think.
16:06It's the stealing the houses from the old people.
16:09Oh yeah.
16:09That's a big old juicy cherry.
16:11That's the scoop.
16:11That's the scoop.
16:13Set her on that.
16:15And the-
16:16Yeah, remember that.
16:17Remember that.
16:18Do you think she really does like Nancy?
16:21Or is Nancy competition for her?
16:23Maybe.
16:24Who knows?
16:25Maybe Nancy's house could be circling the scoop on the author.
16:32And we also, I don't think, have our actual, we got to the New Year's party but you guys
16:36still when we come back, not only is there Nancy's story, not only do you have Helena being
16:43submitted for the consideration for the appointment, which probably is going to logjam into a special election.
16:52You also have whatever your actual downtime project is.
16:56The big group one that we have to roll for.
16:57Wait, it was her partner is one of the people being put up for the replacement?
17:04Is that what you said for the special election?
17:05No, you met Emelyn Douglas who's here, who's one of the head of the marketing.
17:08Annie Douglas is being submitted.
17:11Right.
17:11They're cousins.
17:12It feels like there's a lot of them.
17:14Yes, there's a lot of the Douglass.
17:15There's a lot of cousins.
17:16So there's a couple of them.
17:17There's Annie.
17:20There's Annie Douglas and Florian Whitaker got submitted for the city council.
17:24Oh, and Florian Whitaker.
17:24The third one who submitted himself was Todd Farner, who's the parking.
17:28Right, right.
17:28He's just kind of perma.
17:30Which I do feel like we should look into him a little bit just because he's connected with
17:33Rita, which we've not looked into very much.
17:36If I remember, and I'll probably forget, I'm gonna just kill him.
17:39Yeah, I was gonna say, I'm just gonna run him over in the carriage and not even eat him.
17:43Just waiting for enough time to eat him between when everyone has his address.
17:49What's his address?
17:50And I was like, gonna wait a couple weeks before I eat this dude.
17:52Don't you also though want to catch him in the act of being himself?
17:56I think he's just himself all the time.
17:58Of proving himself to be exactly who we think he is.
17:59He did put decals of crosshairs on your guys' buses.
18:03Yeah, I don't think he's hiding his true self.
18:07I know, I just want to catch him in the act of putting a decal on.
18:10Let's hear him call one person a cow.
18:12And then he's freaking over you.
18:15Freaking done.
18:16You're dead.
18:16Put one glue trap down in a corner.
18:19Set his mom up with Beth.
18:21Wait, guys, the group project.
18:23We have to find out what's going on with the squirrels.
18:25The squirrels.
18:25Oh, right.
18:25Wait, add that to the list?
18:27We're up to 14?
18:28That's the main task.
18:29Maybe that could be part of the Beth healing is volunteering at the squirrel sanctuary.
18:34And then maybe she meets someone who loves squirrels the opposite of her husband.
18:40Wow.
18:41I will say you guys missed a real banger of a New Year's Eve party at Rory and Miranda's house.
18:47Literal banger.
18:48Literal banger.
18:49I bet it was like a slip and slide.
18:51We can, like, we move, we can still smell it.
18:55I'm just, I'm just imagining walking by the window just seeing so much man ass.
19:00Man ass.
19:01Hairy.
19:02It's so brightly lit in there.
19:03Just so much man ass.
19:04Like hairy but sparsely hairy.
19:06Yeah, yeah.
19:07You're like, oh.
19:08Oh.
19:09You walk in and it's just so much.
19:12Long but sparsely.
19:12So much man ass.
19:14Yes.
19:14Just pumping.
19:15Wait a second.
19:17Oh god.
19:19Oh god.
19:20Pretty tough.
19:21You guys do this, right?
19:22Oh god.
19:23Pretty tough.
19:24Put your shoulders up.
19:26Diagonal?
19:26Is Beth there?
19:28Diagonal?
19:28Is Beth there?
19:29That's like a shoulder strike.
19:30Yeah.
19:32Shimmy shimmy.
19:33Shimmy shimmy.
19:34Trying to close the car door that didn't quite close all the way.
19:40And we ended catching an arrow mid flight.
19:44Hell yeah.
19:44Oh god.
19:45Rapid reflexes.
19:47Slash.
19:48This was my best roll ever because I blood surged.
19:53I will powered and I think I only normally would have only had like three on the roll or
19:58normally would have had four and then I got six from the blood surge and I rolled six successes.
20:04I am actually dying to just like pounce on people.
20:08I know.
20:09And like attack.
20:10Yeah.
20:10It's really fun that you guys are there.
20:13Thank god I didn't fuck up your sweater.
20:17That would have been devastating.
20:18That's good.
