Hey, it's Mae Whitman, and I play

0:05

Frankie in the new Realm podcast The Sisters.

0:08

The Sisters is about a museum

0:10

curator of medical oddities who investigates

0:12

the origins of a mutated skeleton

0:14

with two layers of bones. Soon,

0:17

she uncovers an extraordinary mystery

0:19

that connects her present with

0:21

one family's tragic past in

0:24

hauntingly dangerous ways. Welcome

0:26

to The Sisters, wherever you get your

0:28

podcasts. Hey

0:35

everybody, welcome to the Dungeon Cast. I'm Brian. And

0:38

I'm William. This is the podcast where we

0:40

talk about everything tabletop role-playing games. And today we

0:42

are talking about the Yarnkeg.

0:45

One, two, three, four. Shout out

0:47

to the people from the Yarnkeg.

0:50

Welcome, my friends, to the Dungeon

0:52

Cast. Let's finish

0:55

this monster manual. Hey,

0:57

Will. Hey, Brian. Let's

1:00

do it. Let's do it. How you

1:03

doing? I'm hyped now. Good.

1:06

I want to do it. I

1:08

want to finish the monster manual.

1:10

We're getting close, man. It's been

1:12

seven years. Yeah, it

1:14

has been. Since we cracked its bindings. So

1:17

that's right. We are getting

1:19

dangerously close to finally completing our Monster Mythos series when

1:21

it comes to the 2014 Monster Manual. And

1:24

like many of the straggling monster

1:27

mythos topics of the last couple

1:29

years, this monster continues a running

1:31

theme shared by the Boulet, the

1:33

Umberhoch, and the like. This

1:36

is a classic first edition advanced D&D

1:38

monster. It does not have a basis

1:40

on any mythology or folklore that I

1:42

am aware of, and it lives underground.

1:45

Also, it eats people. It's just a dude. Yeah,

1:47

it's just a nasty D&D monster.

1:50

It's a classic D&D monster. I'm

1:52

into it. So today we

1:55

are talking about the Ankeg, or Ankeg,

1:58

an insectile monstrosity that in my Opinion

2:00

make the Humber Hoke look pretty tame

2:02

despite it being only ac or two

2:04

months or on of you remember a

2:06

number or episode. but the lore of

2:08

the Under really really emphasizes how hideous

2:10

it is. A know me, i'm wrong

2:13

number Hook is ugly. The on cake

2:15

is uglier. It's uglier than I think

2:17

it's a hard with or I just

2:19

think of that. we're yeah, if the

2:21

Kool Aid man was in the Under

2:23

dark, it would be pretty ugly. The

2:25

and he wasn't a like an open.

2:28

Pitcher. Of juice Sigurd says hey, any

2:30

questions, comments or discerns before reads as

2:32

dive right into it Ah it is

2:34

this. The is this the first thing

2:36

you see when you open the months

2:38

renewal? Because it's up there. It's like

2:40

one of the first ones, right? No

2:42

Angels Angels beat it. A Oh I

2:44

Eric okra through the first a cast

2:46

of ebay of him. And On

2:48

Keg resembles enormous many leg insect

2:50

or were is a huge segmented

2:53

body with six legs and the

2:55

and sharp hook suitable for burrowing

2:57

or grasping are tough chitinous brown

2:59

shell covers it's entire body. The

3:01

some specimens are yellow rather than

3:03

brown, glistening black ice thera from

3:05

above powerful mandibles. The mandible line

3:07

with tiny rows of chitinous teeth

3:09

are capable of snapping a small

3:11

tree in half with a single

3:13

bite. Call. It has to

3:15

long and ten a twitching in response

3:17

to any movement around it. Your average

3:19

on cake is about ten feet. Oh,

3:23

I'm sorry, I was looking up at

3:25

the out with another thing for a

3:27

ditto. other three, Ten Feet. As like

3:29

three meters I three meters long and

3:31

weighs about a hundred pounds, Three hundred

3:34

and sixty two kilograms. folks. Some glad

3:36

I went back to the Nuts for

3:38

that. The Aren't Egg made it's first

3:40

appearance and Drag Magazine number Five in

3:43

which in March of Nineteen Seventy Seven

3:45

or this was later reprinted in the

3:47

Monster Manual of Ninety Seventy Seven arm.

3:49

It is technically the featured creature of

3:51

the entire issue. but despite this

3:54

it only has a single paragraph of

3:56

information dedicated to it in the entire

3:58

issue this one's all physical Maybe

4:00

mmm. It is a cool-looking monster. It is.

4:02

It's a very monstrous looking. It looks like

4:04

a Yeah, that's what this thing is

4:06

about. You need a bad guy that isn't you

4:09

know, like morally questionable necessarily. That's

4:11

a monster. Yeah The

4:15

honk egg are lurkers in the earth They

4:18

use their powerful mandibles to dig winding tunnels

4:20

deep beneath the ground when hunting an

4:23

Anka burrows upward Waiting below the

4:25

surface until its antennae detect movement

4:27

from above Then the

4:29

Anka bursts from the earth and sees

4:31

its prey and its mandibles crushing and

4:34

grinding while it secret secretes acidic Digestive

4:36

enzymes these enzymes help dissolve a victim

4:38

for easy swallowing But

4:41

the Anka can also squirt acid to

4:43

take down foes. Oh my god This

4:45

is uh, you have to do a special

4:48

walk across the sand to make sure that

4:50

it doesn't get here. I watch it, dude

4:52

I Could

4:56

talk about dune 1 & 2

4:59

and the book series for fucking hours. I'm

5:01

counting on it I'm counting on it. Check

5:03

out our special a tiered space

5:05

content on patreon for me The current

5:07

dune movies even with their deviations from

5:09

the book are literal dreams come true

5:11

for me. I'm glad I'm happy for

5:13

you Thank you. Why wasn't that ankeg

5:15

in dune? Well, it's

5:18

because sand worms are cooler. They are

5:20

pretty cool And

5:22

kegs usually carve out their territories in forests

5:24

or choice agricultural land boring

5:26

tunnels 30 to 40 feet deep in the

5:28

rich soil of forests or farmlands Although

5:31

on kegs receive a certain portion of their nutrients

5:33

from the soil through which they burrow they must

5:35

supplement their diet with fresh meat Pastures

5:38

teeming with grazing livestock and forests rife

5:40

with game or an on kegs prime

5:42

hunting ground And

5:44

kegs are thus the bane of farmers and

5:46

Rangers everywhere. Oh, yeah Where

5:49

did the dirt go in an keg and keggy dirt?

5:52

Durko through an keg. Um I

5:55

don't think it eats all the dirt. I think it pushes

5:57

it to the side. Well, it's using its fucking

6:00

mouth to do it so

6:03

well maybe the acid is yeah Sun

6:05

dirt's gonna get put yeah but like yeah yeah

6:07

I think a lot gets pushed is there a

6:09

special tube in the shapes

6:11

of their head they're like they're like arrowhead

6:13

like kind of shaped right so they it

6:16

gets it slides to the side there slides

6:18

to the side they're dirty

6:21

dynamic they're um

6:25

yeah they're dirty dynamic yeah I

6:28

think there's a tube a special tube underneath the

6:31

mandibles of some kind maybe inside

6:33

that has it's an earth shoot

6:36

yeah they shoot that earth right

6:38

behind them that's

6:41

how they go so fast yeah absolutely um

6:44

on keg tunnels resemble

6:46

a maze in their random design although

6:49

these corridors wind in relatively straight paths

6:51

they change depth intersect with

6:53

other other tunnels and often end abruptly

6:56

there are usually only one or two entrances into

6:59

the tunnels though others sometimes

7:01

appear when the on cake bursts up

7:03

from beneath the surface to surprise its

7:05

prey the tunnels are generally only

7:07

as wide and tall as the on cake itself

7:09

about three to six feet wide and I'm sorry

7:11

I miss the metric on that and four to

7:13

ten feet high like one to two to three

7:16

meters somewhere in there the hollowed

7:19

ends of an on cakes tunnel often

7:21

serves as a temporary layer for sleeping

7:24

eating or hibernating when on

7:26

cake exhausts the food supply in a particular force

7:28

or field it moves on to another

7:30

and that's to me one of the key like

7:34

indicators on whether a creature is truly

7:36

a monster or not does

7:38

them does the creature completely

7:40

destroy its environment and

7:43

live an unsustainable life and then move

7:45

on hello

7:47

humans I was gonna

7:49

say hello humans I do Hasbro are you

7:51

listening to

7:54

um on

7:56

cakes live in cold climates hibernate during the

7:59

winter Within a month after

8:01

the first snowfall, the onkeg fashions a layer

8:03

deep within the warm earth where it remains

8:05

dormant until spring. The

8:07

hibernating onkeg requires no food, subsisting

8:09

instead on nutrients stored in its shell.

8:12

Though the onkeg's metabolism is reduced, its

8:14

antennae remain functional, able to alert it

8:17

to the approach of an intruder. A

8:20

disturbed onkeg might fully awaken after

8:22

which time it can and will

8:24

attack. The onkeg does not hoard

8:26

treasure. Ones that were not

8:28

dissolved by the acidic enzymes fall where they often drop

8:30

from the onkeg's mandibles. As

8:32

the burrows through the earth, the onkeg

8:35

leaves a narrow, partially collapsed tunnel in

8:37

its wake. In these tunnels, one might

8:39

find the remnants of molted onkeg chitin,

8:42

hatched onkeg eggs, or the grisly remains

8:44

of onkeg victims, including coins or other

8:46

treasures scattered during the creature's attack. DMs,

8:48

take note of that last paragraph because

8:51

that's everything you need to set up

8:53

this monster. Indeed. Only enough,

8:55

even though a hungry onkeg can be fatal to

8:57

a farmer and their livestock, it can also be

8:59

quite beneficial to the farmland itself. Its

9:02

tunnel system laces the soil with passages for

9:04

air and water while the onkeg's waste products

9:07

add rich nutrients. Okay. So,

9:10

it's not completely destroying its... Right.

9:14

I think with a little bit of intervention,

9:17

it can be a vital part

9:20

of an ecosystem. That's what Snorlax do.

9:23

He eat everything, but then all the stuff grow. Yeah, there

9:25

you go. But I think without

9:27

oversight and intervention, these things run amok. Where

9:30

do all the food go that Snorlax eat? Does it just go

9:32

straight out the... I'm

9:35

not a Snorlaxologist, so I can't tell

9:37

you. A Snorl-ologist? Exactly.

9:41

Autumn is mating season for onkegs. After

9:44

the male fertilizes the female, the female kills

9:46

him, bites off his head, and puts 2D6

9:49

fertilizers in his body. A

9:51

romantic. I love

9:53

that. It's randomized by 2D6. Within

9:57

a few weeks, about 75% of the eggs hatch

9:59

and begin feeding. And the year

10:01

the young on kegs resemble adults and

10:03

can function independently and every year thereafter

10:05

the on keg functions with full adult

10:07

capabilities I can't Why

10:11

I can't wait to kill my husband someday. I

10:13

don't think it's a husband I think it's not

10:16

can't wait to kill the big one night Praymantis

10:20

style things kind of look like Praymantis.

10:22

Well, they're right. Yeah, definitely praying mantis

10:24

a good model for what's

10:27

going on here Absolutely. I think

10:29

Praymantis don't lay the eggs in the body. I

10:31

do not think that is the thing they do

10:33

No, I think they just kind of stick up

10:35

somewhere I think um, and maybe it's based off

10:37

of a creature that actually does this but my

10:40

memory The only thing I can come up with

10:42

is I know some wasp plant their eggs in like

10:44

the bodies of tarantulas Oh, yeah,

10:46

there is a type of

10:48

wasp. I think that yeah, exactly. So

10:50

it's like you you plant the and

10:53

then there's also the creatures and

10:55

I'm hard it's hard for me to come up with the

10:57

name of one but I've heard of Orthoproids

11:01

that like have the eggs hatch inside

11:03

them and then they eat the mother. Oh,

11:05

yeah, that's a thing but anyways

11:08

Beginning in the second year of life the on keg sheds

11:11

its chitinous shell just before the onset of winter It takes

11:13

the on keg two days to shed its old shell in

11:15

two weeks to grow a new one During

11:17

this time the sluggish on cake is

11:20

exceptionally vulnerable Its overall

11:22

AC is reduced. Additionally it moves only at

11:24

half its normal speed It's mandible attack and

11:26

Felix less damage and is unable to squirt

11:28

acidic enzymes While growing a

11:30

new shell it protects itself by hiding

11:33

in a deep tunnel and secreting a

11:35

repulsive fluid that smells like rotten fruit

11:37

And though the aroma discourages most creatures

11:39

It can also pinpoint the ankyl location

11:41

for human hunters and desperately hungry predators

11:43

Okay, Sarah section of the plane

11:45

of ooze that is just this on

11:47

keg acid sure Why

11:50

not I'd believe it Typically

11:52

on kegs are solitary gatchers that jealously guard

11:54

their territories for some of them known to

11:56

live and travel in pairs, and even Rarer

11:58

are ankegs that hunt in. Live in

12:00

groups known as clusters. Kept the and

12:03

keg like many giant carnivorous monsters, does

12:05

not have any natural predators and that

12:07

is another key indicator. India and he

12:09

of whether thing is a fucking monster

12:12

know I'm. The shouldn't have

12:14

depth as an extra predators. Yeah, invasive.

12:16

they made me. I see humans who

12:18

hit all the marks of a invasive

12:21

species. Indeed, it if ah I'm But

12:23

they do have a contentious rivalry flesh

12:25

and tag any with giant ants with

12:27

kitten which compete with them for territory.

12:30

to have a hive of join hands

12:32

manages to killer drive away and I

12:34

take from their nest. The brood linked

12:36

the behind are often made serve the

12:39

giant ant colony. Okay, I didn't realize

12:41

that. How giant we talk and for

12:43

this and very big. Very. Like a

12:45

hike. Certificates that like sat well come on,

12:47

that's just a normal size as well. Yeah

12:49

well that are small. referee. A

12:52

reference to the people though that's like

12:54

building size amps. Is it Okay me

12:57

this to be. I

12:59

thought in my car five amps seat

13:01

the size of see that's a fucking

13:03

big ass and begin with the with

13:05

some being bigger right? Yeah. And

13:08

area have a lower them center of gravity

13:10

or not. Right bears are size answer for

13:12

the warrior the some winged ones to right

13:14

rally on an old better that physics break

13:17

down below plate the moldering. Because.

13:19

You. Go underground and you fight Car

13:21

size answered his terrifies the yeah. That

13:25

sounds bad. it's the ads. Like an old

13:27

black and white I was with my dad

13:29

would like something about the top of the

13:31

giants or whatever you know like boat like

13:33

was gonna like black and white the blob

13:35

or of i like idea of blob yeah

13:37

that was like around the same time. Yeah

13:39

that's cool. I like the kind of movies

13:41

the and can Excel harvested from the slain

13:43

and keg weighs roughly one hundred pound. That's

13:45

forty five kilograms. Farmers talented enough can forge

13:48

armor from the shells. It a three. day

13:50

to make the armor is very nearly

13:52

as effective as full plate mail believe

13:54

considerably less and can be worn by

13:56

warriors who usually cannot wear such heavy

13:58

on the and kegs eyes and fluid

14:00

therein are useful to alchemists and magic

14:02

users in the creation of site-related magic

14:04

potions and items. Likewise the Ankig's

14:06

digestive acid can be salvaged and utilized as

14:08

a regular acid. This chemical maintains its properties

14:11

for up to six months after the Ankig's

14:13

death. This chemical can only be carried in

14:15

a glass container and is highly susceptible

14:17

to breakage as a result. There

14:20

is a secondary enzyme sac located in

14:22

the creature's head, very similar to a

14:25

small acid-resistant bladder. Covering this

14:27

fluid from the Ankig requires

14:29

very adept hands as it is very easy to

14:31

break the sac accidentally. Failure to

14:33

successfully remove the sac without breakage results in

14:35

damage to the handler. Aside from this, the

14:37

Ankig's mandibles make reasonably good axe heads and

14:39

its legs, if cured and preserved, may be

14:41

used as maces and other concussive wifters. I

14:43

was going to save this for the end

14:45

but... We're just breaking down this whole fucking

14:48

monster. Well that's the thing is like this

14:50

monster doesn't have lore necessarily. The

14:53

lore would come from like the

14:55

wizard or whoever is like trying

14:57

to harvest the materials of this thing. I'm

14:59

glad this is here. I was waiting for it. I

15:01

saw the Dragon Magazine tag at the top of the

15:03

episode so I was like they're going to talk

15:06

about how they fuck. They're going to

15:08

talk about how you can sell their

15:10

parts for money or apply them. I

15:13

guess you can just... So you can have an

15:16

underdark culture of barbarians that

15:18

uses Ankig legs for bases

15:20

and abs and stuff like

15:22

that. That's fun. Right

15:24

now my player D&D dream is

15:26

to play a fighter or ranger

15:28

who just goes full monster hunter. Like

15:31

kills these suckers, skins them

15:33

down, builds armor and weapons at

15:35

them, sells them, builds shit for their allies,

15:37

builds shit for themselves. There's actually a character

15:40

builder in the very final issue of Dragon

15:42

Magazine that is like here's how to apply

15:44

all the things we taught you about monsters

15:46

fucking as

15:48

a character. Yep, absolutely. That's

15:51

all that's leading up to this. By

15:53

removing the meat inside

15:56

and replacing it with some substance to

15:58

provide weight, sand or metal. These appendages

16:00

can be formed into weapons delivering the same

16:02

damage as their counterpart. There you go. Just

16:06

slide some bricks in there. Just what

16:08

some bricks you said. You know what, fuck it. Just use

16:10

a brick. Just use a brick. Um,

16:13

that's all I got on on gigs. Okay. Besides

16:15

the stat block. Which I'll get. Ready

16:17

for the short rest? Yeah. Let's

16:19

go. It's the grand adventures of

16:21

Illy and Enbir. Um,

16:25

let's see if my calculations are

16:27

correct. This would mean

16:29

that the triangulation

16:31

of... Yes. I'm beginning to

16:33

see it. Yes, I'm beginning. What's it doing?

16:35

Whoa! Bion!

16:37

Hi. How

16:40

many times have I told you to not

16:42

interrupt me during my intellectual musing? At least

16:44

a few. Is that what you were doing?

16:46

Yes, I was intellectually musing. Sorry. I

16:49

didn't... I'm trying to triangulate the location of the

16:51

next shard that we'll be searching for. If

16:54

I take into account the locations of

16:57

which we found these three in

16:59

relation to where the Eldritch Ash

17:02

Blast occurred, as

17:05

well as where we were launched when it all

17:07

happened, which I believe was 80s? Man,

17:09

we've been some places. Um, I

17:12

think I'll be able to mathematically,

17:15

at least approximately, locate all

17:18

of the shards, theoretically. But I... It's

17:21

a lot of math, so we'll do it one at a time. Man,

17:23

I'm so bored right now. Big picture, yes. Little

17:26

picture, this is why you do what you do, you know what I'm saying?

17:29

Have I ever told you where I

17:32

drove a triangle-shaped pike into a triangle-shaped

17:34

creature's head? Well, the head of

17:36

it was triangle. Have you ever heard of an onkeg? Yes,

17:39

I am aware of what an onkeg is.

17:41

I stabbed that mother trucker right in its

17:43

gullet. Yes. I ripped

17:45

its mandibles from its face. I'm imagining the

17:47

spear was ruined afterwards because those are cynic

17:49

enzymes from no-go. I left the spear in

17:51

its body and I ripped off its legs

17:53

and I used those as my next weapons.

17:55

Really? I was dual-wielding

17:57

legs, man. Please explain that. the

18:00

process please it's just a just a big

18:02

rip you got to demean them right so

18:04

you just rip the things off you can tell you

18:06

kind of twist them they're weak at the joints and

18:09

then you pull the meat out and sometimes there's little

18:11

like tough stringy things in there that you kind of

18:13

got to work and you can cook it and eat

18:15

it don't get the poison stuff on it but you

18:17

I saw a man eat a lot of egg meat

18:20

and oh man it was like you know we

18:22

were doing the fascinating it was cool like we

18:24

figured out how to do this weird swoopy walk

18:26

to sort of not alert them to our presence

18:28

because they can tremor sense apparently and when

18:31

we got into their den we had

18:33

some but we threw some rocks on the ground

18:35

they went to go into there so dumb just

18:37

let me tell you alien this is

18:39

the dumbest animal I've made you have his

18:41

creature I've ever come across really they want

18:43

so no more than an ooze even I

18:46

don't know about that but

18:48

it's got to be close I think if this thing

18:50

was any stupider it would be dead yes

18:53

mechanically speaking an uncommon fact of our

18:55

world is when you reach an intelligence

18:57

of nothing you just die yeah that

18:59

that seemed about right I think if

19:02

I like sort of found a

19:04

way to deliver some brain damage it would just kind

19:06

of not exist but anyway

19:08

ripped off the arms ate the meat

19:11

de-de-de-de-meded the claws and then I filled

19:13

them with bricks with bricks

19:15

yeah there were bricks around from an ancient civilization

19:18

that had like set up shop maybe a long

19:20

time ago but I I pulled all the bricks

19:22

from the ruins and I land you defaced history

19:24

I put bricks in an onkeg

19:26

leg I meant I brought the bricks with

19:28

me on the journey I

19:31

like to carry a bag of bricks like

19:33

any good adventure case somebody tries to steal

19:35

my bag unless in case you need a

19:37

build a fortification on this I need to

19:40

build a fortification yeah I've never I don't

19:42

even know what ruins are I've never touched

19:44

anything like that in my life but I

19:46

meant did they pack a wallop they

19:48

were just they're sort of cumbersome well

19:50

you essentially were walking people with a

19:53

line of bricks yeah and you know that

19:55

sharp cloth stuff you know wrapped up in

19:57

them you know that's gotta do at least

19:59

few should bludgeoning damage. I did. Not

20:01

magical though. It was pretty much the

20:04

equivalent of the pike I was using

20:06

before, but bludge. So not really uh

20:08

an upgrade more of a lateral pivot.

20:11

Well like you said I was with people

20:13

knowledgeable in the beast's kind of uh physiology

20:15

and they said that's that pike is ruined

20:17

by guy and I said well I'll just

20:19

leave it in here and I'm gonna use

20:21

this thing's off. Can I rip that

20:23

thing right off? Anyway you said stuff about triangles that

20:25

made me think we've got three of these shards and

20:28

if you just sort of set them on the table

20:30

like this maybe the oh

20:32

my research! Oh it's beaconing! I've activated. I

20:34

think I'm starting to get how these things

20:36

work. You're just kind of beacon them up.

20:38

We do stuff to make them beacon and

20:41

they'll call each other's pieces to each other

20:43

you know what I mean? Look it's doing

20:45

but it's just sending a beam

20:47

of light straight up into the sky. This

20:53

could only mean one thing Ben. What is that? Are

20:57

you sure? Only one thing. We

21:02

need an airship. Hi

21:30

I'm Jenny Owen Youngs and I'm Kristen

21:33

Russo and together we run Buffering, a

21:35

rewatch adventure. A family of podcasts moving

21:37

through our favorite 90s genre television. We

21:39

talk about iconic shows like Buffy the

21:42

Vampire Slayer, The X-Files, and even some

21:44

current TV like Yellow Jackets. Buffering has

21:46

been praised in places like Time, Esquire,

21:48

Paste Magazine, and the New York Times

21:51

and we've chatted with dozens of cast

21:53

members, writers, directors, and fans along the

21:55

way. Come hang out and rewatch some

21:57

of your favorite television with us. and

22:00

a wonderful community of listeners. Learn

22:03

more at bufferingcast.com or find us

22:05

on socials at bufferingcast. We

22:08

returned. We're fucking back. Indeed we are.

22:10

We're scraping the last the bottom of

22:13

the barrel pages out of the monster

22:15

manual and we're getting there. I think

22:17

there's like there's got to

22:19

be less than ten. I think there's less than

22:21

ten monsters. Some of them I'm saving because they're

22:24

elemental so that we're gonna dole them out throughout

22:26

the year. But that's that the show will go

22:28

on there will be a new monster manual and

22:30

there are more monsters to talk about in other

22:32

places. It's not like we've done every single monster

22:34

from Mornakarnas, monsters from the Monjavirus either. The

22:37

monsters will probably never end. And then

22:39

when the all these get reprinted we'll revisit

22:41

them. Yeah there will be one

22:43

day where we like never talk about monsters

22:45

again on the show and this contact. You

22:47

remember monsters, Brian? You remember when we did

22:49

stat blocks? We read them all, Brian. We

22:51

read them all. Like it or not, sixth

22:53

edition will come eventually. It will come eventually.

22:55

I predict we will get a sixth edition.

22:57

See it's 2024. I

23:00

predict six it will be smelling sixth edition by 2030.

23:04

Okay. Like we're getting rumors I think. We'll

23:06

see. Well I'll hold you to it. I

23:08

mean bookmarks this episode. Yes. That's hot take.

23:10

I know that's my hot take right now.

23:12

Just for reference, I think

23:14

first edition ran the longest right? But even

23:16

that doesn't really count. Because first edition you

23:19

have the boxed edition and then we roll

23:21

into I know there's another

23:23

version before advanced kicks in and advances technically

23:25

first edition and we don't get second edition

23:27

until the 80s. Yeah. So we're

23:30

looking at like I think 10 years

23:32

of first edition and then we

23:34

get second edition which runs into the 90s and then we

23:36

get 3.5 which runs into the 2000s.

23:40

Four is from 2007 to 2014. So we are definitely in

23:42

a golden era of an edition lasting

23:47

the longest it's ever had. By far.

23:49

Yeah well I mean like so

23:51

it really depends on what they print because

23:53

like it sounds more like 5.5 to me

23:56

than. Oh what's happening now? Yeah. Oh what's

23:58

happening now is not a new edition. They

24:00

know only blacked it off. It's yeah, it's a

24:02

five point three. I'll see what

24:04

they yeah Yeah, it's it's definitely changing it,

24:06

but it's still fifth edition So and I

24:08

and if we're gonna have this conversation I

24:10

would argue that after ten years like if

24:12

you want to do some rules revisions. Yeah,

24:15

I think it's about time. Yeah See

24:17

yeah. Yeah. There we go well we have

24:19

the oh if you want to sponsor Illy

24:21

and beer on their journey to collect all the

24:23

shards of substantial supporters to eventually form them into

24:26

the pen and the plantiest patrons once again

24:28

to use it so they can do their

24:30

stuff You

24:33

can do that by going to patreon.com/the

24:35

dungeon cast go there and You

24:38

can you can subscribe to tears

24:40

that are the tier in space is actually

24:42

a alien and beer and Extra

24:45

content dedicated. There's one

24:47

recording there, and then we'll got super sick so they do by

24:49

now But there's

24:51

stuff in there that is you can listen to all that

24:53

you're alien and beer and so far in a

24:56

row Yeah, okay,

24:58

how about that about that? There's

25:01

been a lot. It's like over like three

25:03

hours of Just us

25:05

doing the skits. Yeah, it's fucking crazy. He's insane

25:07

I was like shocked when I was putting it

25:09

together like no way we've been we made this

25:11

much stuff I well, I definitely think like for

25:14

the first like 10 to 15 we were going

25:16

over time I think we were hitting these skits

25:18

and getting to like close to 10 minutes And

25:20

then we started to back it off, so I think

25:22

they're only ever supposed to be like a couple minutes

25:24

Yeah, now. I think we averaged like four to four

25:26

and a half minutes per skit which I'm about

25:29

right yeah Yeah, so you can see them there

25:31

patreon.com session. That's gas. We have the an keg

25:34

large monstrosity of unaligned Moral

25:37

it doesn't take sides. No it

25:40

just wants to eat you armor

25:42

class is 14 natty 11

25:45

well prone. Oh, it's got a

25:47

tender underbelly. Mm-hmm well prone means

25:51

It's on its back. I guess what do you

25:54

yeah? It fell down pine is on

25:56

your back actually if we're talking medically speaking if

25:58

it felt if it falls down Its armor

26:00

just kind of like opens up you can

26:02

see it's soft places like a video game.

26:04

Yeah HP is 39 that's 60 10 plus 6 Speed

26:09

is 30 feet. It can burrow 10

26:12

feet. That's pretty slow that tube in its

26:14

body isn't as big as it probably

26:16

could be Maybe

26:19

it just it is really digging. Yeah, I think

26:21

it's really digging. Oh, it's what I'm saying, man

26:24

It's not like a purple worm. We're just You

26:28

know Yeah, where does the

26:30

dirt is it dune? Where's the dirt? Okay, I

26:32

was gonna save the dune style joke for the

26:35

patreon content But where does the purple

26:37

worm go? Eat

26:39

the dirt. Yeah purple worm eats eats a lot

26:41

of the way the dirt go it comes out the other side

26:44

Immediately, I think at a fairly even

26:47

pace. So it's a just a dirt

26:49

rocket. It's a dirt. Yeah

26:51

So but there are purple

26:53

worm tunnels. Yes, definitely So

26:56

it's not getting rid of all the dirt It's

26:58

not like a one-for-one ratio digesting and absorbing minerals

27:00

and stuff from the dirt for sure Oh, wow,

27:03

it's not a lot of body to eat dirt

27:06

What eat the dirt? Yeah, definitely eat the dirt.

27:08

Okay, but this thing don't eat the dirt No,

27:10

I don't think not with the burrow speed of

27:13

10 feet can't possibly gender I mean 10 feet

27:15

every six seconds is pretty impressive. Maybe eat dirt

27:17

sometimes like Some dirt

27:19

gets in there. It's like ooh pica Eat

27:22

the bear. Okay, these minerals will help my chitin

27:25

Well, no, it actually yeah No, it is confirmed

27:27

that they eat a lot of soil because yeah

27:29

They sustain themselves on the minerals of the soil

27:31

the sweet minerals half the dirt the other half

27:33

They don't eat and they can't eat

27:35

salt because that's a different category They're salt in the

27:37

earth for salt in the earth But if they go

27:40

to the they can't go they can't live in the

27:42

plane of salt they can live in a plane of

27:44

mineral Yeah Strength

27:47

is 17 or ways I do the

27:49

the modifiers now strength is plus three

27:51

decks plus zero con plus one intelligence

27:53

minus five Fucking

27:56

dumb is dumb as rock if it

27:58

were any dumber It would be

28:00

dead. It would be rocks. Well

28:03

it would be a rock, yeah. That's for sure.

28:05

It's just rock manifest. You can't have a zero

28:07

ability score. If you have a zero ability score,

28:09

you die. Right, yeah. So if he was one

28:11

dumber, he'd be dead. He'd be dead because his

28:13

brain doesn't work no more. Exactly. I

28:15

ate too many dirt. Wisdom

28:17

plus one, charisma minus two. Why is

28:20

it so stupid? They

28:22

didn't have to make it that dumb. It is so dumb.

28:25

It is one smarter than a rock. That's

28:28

also the hallmark

28:31

of a monster, is a low intelligence

28:33

score, like in D&D. Yeah, sure.

28:36

Otherwise they organize. Yeah, that's

28:38

true. Yeah, and then the Union busting

28:40

wizard has to come and show up and tell him

28:42

to fuck off. Some intelligent things are still fucking monsters,

28:44

like beholders. Yes, but

28:46

they organize too. They do organize. And they

28:48

definitely Union bust. Yeah, they definitely Union bust.

28:51

They've got goblin slaves that are really sad.

28:53

They don't get breaks. Sense

28:56

is Darkvision, 60 feet. I'm

28:58

going to introduce a beholder in my elemental

29:01

campaign. I'm going to name him Mr. Manfred

29:03

because Rob Manfred, he's the commissioner of baseball,

29:05

is an infamous Union buster. Oh,

29:07

great. Yeah. Cool.

29:10

Who has failed at his job so far in baseball? But

29:12

anyways, I digress. Go ahead. I have

29:14

no comment. Yeah. Tremor Sense is 60

29:16

feet. They have a passive perception of 11.

29:19

They don't speak no language. How could they?

29:21

Fucking idiots. You

29:23

dumb, dumb, dumb idiots. Okay,

29:26

we got challenge rating two. That's 450 XP. Proficiency

29:29

bonus plus two. Actions, they

29:31

bite, baby. They bite. Oh, yeah. Half of what

29:33

they do. My mother's mandibles. That was the joke

29:35

I was looking up at the very beginning of

29:37

the show. It was the Crimson Chin from Fairly

29:39

Odd Parents. Okay, cool. It bite.

29:42

Melee weapon attack plus five to hit. Reach of

29:44

five feet. One target. Hit

29:47

is going to be 10 or 2d6 plus three slashing damage

29:49

plus three 1d6 acid damage. That's

29:51

cool. I like when they do that. Me too. If

29:55

the target is a large or smaller

29:57

creature, it is grappled escape DC 13.

30:00

Until the scrapple ends the onkeg can

30:03

bite only the grappled creature and

30:05

has advantage on attack rolls to do so I

30:07

think that's cool. I do too. It

30:09

just starts to eat you buddy. Yeah, that's

30:12

all it knows No, it

30:14

knows it's all it does. It has one one

30:17

point in intelligence and it say

30:19

dig and eat Yep, eat

30:21

third. Well also acid spray which we're about to

30:23

talk about. That's more like a wisdom thing. It's

30:25

just a trigger You

30:28

think it's just instinctual. It's just instinctual. It has

30:30

to be The

30:32

ankeg spits acid in a line that is 30

30:34

feet long and 5 feet wide provided that it

30:36

has no creature grappled Each

30:38

creature in that line must make a DC

30:41

13 dexterity saving throw taking 10 or 3d6

30:43

acid damage on a failed save Or half

30:45

as much damage on a successful one. Okay,

30:47

you cannot tell me that this

30:49

thing cannot have All

30:52

right, the ankeg is chewing on a guy, right?

30:54

so Mechanically you can't use that

30:56

as a spray But I say why can't it because

30:59

that seems like a very efficient way to get your

31:01

food eaten It's like you're chewing on them and like

31:03

oh you got them right there Hose

31:06

them down make them easier to chew

31:08

right? Maybe it's the risk of getting

31:10

the acid on itself. I mean I

31:14

don't know I'm never I'm almost never a fan of

31:17

a Creature like secretions

31:19

or breath attacks or whatever game either itself. Oh,

31:21

I just watched it. Oh, we were used No,

31:24

I was just cut like I just wanted to

31:26

cut you off at a certain point It was

31:28

like I yeah, I don't like secretions either. I

31:30

just watched the movie on Netflix Brand-new

31:34

with very famous up-and-coming

31:37

was a child actress now. I guess she's just an

31:39

actress I'm not gonna say the name of the movie,

31:41

but I'm gonna spoil the fuck out of the ending What

31:44

you can't you can't drop a

31:46

spoiler tag without telling people what

31:48

the spoiler is for okay spoiler

31:51

for damsel Just saw damsel with

31:53

Bobby Millie Millie Millie Bobby Bobby

31:55

Brown that one. Yeah, she's problematic.

31:57

Okay. Don't know I'm pretty sure

32:00

Anyways skip ahead like get

32:02

it get in like 30 seconds. All right There's

32:04

a dragon dragon almost dies by getting

32:06

its own fire on itself and I thought that was

32:08

stupid as hell moving on There you go. That's what

32:10

this is. That's what's happening here Spoilers

32:14

are over now. Okay cool. And then there's a

32:16

bunch of lore stuff. That was the whole stat block

32:19

Not very beefy not a lot

32:21

not enough variety here for what this thing is

32:24

Do they live in colonies or

32:26

something? Uh, they're mostly solitary I

32:28

actually used an hunkyag recently in

32:31

my current campaign five level one characters

32:34

This thing. Oh, that's a boss. Yeah, almost Adam. It

32:36

was a boss It was supposed to be a boss,

32:39

but you know what they killed it and it was a

32:41

I reskinned it So it was just a giant crab But

32:45

uh, so hey take like seven seven

32:47

successful hits on it to kill it

32:49

well, it was it was kind of

32:51

a two-faced fight because uh Two

32:54

characters scouted ahead ran into it pulled

32:56

out all their stops to try and stay alive

32:58

while they ran away Okay, so they weakened it

33:00

Yeah managed to get it to chase them up

33:03

half the tunnel the other the remaining party ran

33:05

down when they heard what was going on they

33:07

Killed it in the tunnel and then they proceeded

33:09

to cook it and they ate it Yeah,

33:11

I mean like there was a giant crab again

33:14

reskin. Yeah, so I would

33:16

definitely be well. Hey a crab Yeah,

33:18

but mechanically it was this and good

33:20

job guys big meaty Meaty

33:23

claws. Yeah. Okay. Well sick good. That's a

33:25

good one. Yeah this thing I could see

33:27

you re-skating it to be crab And

33:30

I didn't give it the acid spray. I thought

33:33

that was too much for the level one characters

33:35

Uh, I'm right Star Wars monster.

33:38

What's that thing called? Garlak? No,

33:41

dude, the one that looks like this thing. It's in Attack

33:46

of the clones they write

33:48

and I Haven't

33:50

seen that movie in decades. It's

33:53

this thing. Oh, no shit.

33:55

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah close really look like

33:57

it. Uh general head

33:59

and body shape or there I think yes

34:01

but it is walking more like a spider yeah

34:03

it's got a spider but it kind of like

34:06

what's this thing called an acolyte oh

34:08

wow yeah both same yeah I think it's

34:10

inspired I think so anyway

34:12

that's all I have all right let's get ready for long

34:14

rest okay hey

34:59

just gonna go what I normally do is just kind

35:01

of scroll all the comments top-down

35:06

I think that means they go from

35:08

most recent to you know oldest I

35:10

35:17

35:27

there make sure you hit that like and subscribe it really

35:30

helps push the show to

35:32

new listeners on YouTube that's the algorithm for you

35:35

but we really appreciate everybody that came in for a

35:37

comment so we're gonna start

35:39

with our homie wall you puff hey

35:42

it's while you puff I both discord and

35:44

YouTube well while you puff let me know

35:46

if it's wall you puff or wall up

35:48

off just you know I know

35:51

you're hearing this yeah

35:53

we know who you are corel

35:56

on can I copy this is

35:58

like a The little

36:00

skit they've done in they go in

36:02

there it's a quarrel on says can

36:04

I copy or moon goddess an air

36:07

says sure just changed a bit Koran

36:09

says out scenes a few letters in

36:11

her name give her pointy ears Philly

36:13

co. Pay for

36:15

on roses at everything Coraline exist and

36:17

like all the settings yeah that was

36:20

I. I I don't know. I

36:22

think it's in this comment section where people

36:24

come from out from me. Anyway, I like

36:26

how the guy had the question to have

36:28

like korea are level in there like yeah

36:31

the though they're collecting the prayers from every

36:33

way either either. The racial deities are often

36:35

amongst the absolute most powerful. For that reason

36:37

that makes more sense to me. Ah, Lucas

36:40

F F One for Three Four Tears, a

36:42

god of Norse Mythology and is present in

36:44

Forgotten Realms. True, the other is like Zeus.

36:47

India is the other guy I give gifts

36:49

in in a Nordic deities and for hims

36:51

interesting. Ah, Bozo.

36:53

Dodge One, Eight Three Eight says I'm

36:55

a simple man, icy moon and elves

36:58

and then I say shower to l

37:00

a strike success. Very cool, very cool

37:02

and I get upset when they probably

37:04

easier. Looking Geese can succeed

37:06

audiences, damn it, beat me to

37:08

it. You were beaten

37:10

and happens. Ah Tony Romance, Ghosts, One,

37:13

Seven Three Five says a Moon Bo

37:15

is created by moonlight on a waterfall.

37:17

Victoria Falls in Africa is known for

37:20

moon bows. Okay, we're gonna see a

37:22

lotta different takes on this and as

37:24

Gambia I'm willing to accept as as

37:27

as a take like I didn't think

37:29

about diameter. you Moon bows existed in

37:31

the rainbow context. yeah I think I

37:33

was. but I think symbol like even

37:36

has a bow. Maybe I'm trip in.

37:39

Yeah. i remembered kind of thinking

37:41

like media has something do with

37:43

late anyway keith johnson eight seventy

37:45

one says the only thing deemed

37:47

he doesn't have a god for

37:49

is premature ejaculation whoa but it's

37:51

coming quickly online ah cool know

37:53

hard it dot on have stevens

37:55

for zero six eight says thank

37:57

you for that Thick that's what

37:59

to seize episode and the even

38:01

thicker shout-out love the sticker that

38:03

came today. Oh, you must be

38:06

a patron Hey,

38:10

so I pulled up sending moonbows symbol

38:13

and I was wrong about the bow and now I'm looking at

38:15

it like what do you think you think that's supposed to be

38:18

like a Like a rainbow like a moonbow above it like it.

38:20

So what do you think that is? It's

38:22

like a ceremonial hat, but yes a bow Yeah

38:27

Yeah, I think it's just a but represents light from

38:29

the moon it is what this is really about okay

38:31

cool Anywho

38:35

Timothy Hana 6304 says

38:38

I just want to see your videos have

38:40

taken a Noticable level up in quality between

38:42

the midpoint jingle that I still hum every

38:44

time to the audio quality to the script

38:46

writing you guys Have come a long way

38:48

to episodes on Jack aware and nulls on

38:50

top of that the shorts with Illian and

38:52

Bierne Nice spelling on beer and

38:54

39:16

going forward side note. What was

39:18

that? What was the Tenshi? Myyo

39:20

muyo arc in super quest saga I watched

39:23

the campaign, but I'm not familiar with the

39:25

reference Don't respond to that one. I feel

39:27

like a respond. I think you did yeah

39:29

the blair fine arc. Yeah Yeah

39:32

with Ryoka Well,

39:34

it's with all with all the very slightly

39:36

named Renamed characters

39:39

yes, they are like letters that there's a

39:41

single letter I change in each one any

39:44

who Thank

39:47

you for that It has been

39:49

I I was always

39:51

scared to get too loud because it sounds so

39:53

gritty sometimes, but You know

39:55

it it needed to be done and

39:57

we have we we've improved a lot as we

39:59

We've gone along and it's with listener suggestions

40:01

and stuff like that. So that's why I

40:04

always suggest for new listeners, start at the

40:06

beginning. It's better quality product up here, but

40:08

the old stuff is really fun and cool

40:10

also, like in terms of subject matter. Yeah,

40:12

absolutely. But we're really glad. Thank you for

40:14

doing that. The positive affirmations

40:16

is always nice to hear.

40:18

Yeah. I mean, it helped

40:20

me do show good when

40:23

you say good job. Thank

40:25

you. It's true. It's

40:28

very true. Blacker

40:30

named Jack said,

40:32

I actually bought a new

40:34

mug from the Shopify to replace my shout out

40:36

to Demogorgon mug. Yeah. So

40:39

Jack, we saw, I saw, was that

40:41

discord where the mug was broken? That

40:43

made me sad. I believe that was

40:45

our very first patron annual. Yeah,

40:48

it is. We have that art, but we don't

40:50

make the cut. Like the cup was made for

40:52

like, it was a limited run is what I'm

40:54

trying to say. So it don't

40:56

exist anymore, man. Sorry. I

40:59

was like, oh, we should send them one, but we can't. So

41:02

sorry. But I'm glad you got a new mug

41:04

to replace your Demogorgon mug and that you still

41:06

have most of the Demogorgon mug. I would definitely

41:09

sand down those sharp edges somehow if

41:11

you plan on keeping it. Very

41:15

sad. Lord Food, Lord

41:18

Fugda, 2ST. Anyway,

41:23

currently at a business conference with one

41:25

AirPodN listening to this video. No

41:27

one will ever know. All right. Well, now they,

41:30

well, they wouldn't, they can't know in the moment

41:32

now. I can't affect that now. No one in

41:34

that room probably knows. No, they might know now.

41:36

But everyone who just heard that knows. Yeah.

41:40

So they won't, it's not like they won't ever know. Well,

41:43

I mean, theoretically, no one else in the

41:46

conference call was listening. No, someone was. They

41:49

might've been. The FBI knows.

41:51

Anyway, Gilanugs? Gilanugs.

41:54

Gilanugs. Heelanugs. I'm thinking

41:57

Heelanugs. monster.

42:00

Helon nugs because there's two... Oh I don't

42:02

know I'm not looking at it so I'm

42:04

just guessing. He's not I am. I like

42:06

to think of gods with the same or

42:08

similar theme to represent different levels of a

42:10

god. Saloon or

42:12

saloonay is the goddess of

42:14

the moon but she's like an OG god

42:16

who is so large in scale she covers

42:18

so much dang I should have expanded this

42:21

is so long. Always

42:25

expand. I should have

42:27

expanded. Let's see

42:29

there's additional I'll just read the end

42:31

there's an additional distinction to be made

42:34

with how saloonay is like moon goddess

42:36

but beyond sahaneen the physical

42:38

moon and Elastrai only the moonlight

42:40

uses the moon but that's

42:42

a whole other disguise. I mean to be

42:44

fair I'm actually kind of reversed on this

42:47

now with the confirmation of like the racial

42:49

deities transcend the universe I'm like no saloonay

42:51

is just the goddess of the moon in

42:53

forgotten realms. Sunny moonbow be representing that shit

42:55

across the fucking molten. She's a super moon.

42:57

Yeah sorry for redacting your your comment I

42:59

appreciate its length but I cannot do not

43:01

have time to read it on the show

43:04

sorry about that Wraith Reaper

43:06

22 what's up dude so

43:09

that's how you say her name lol yeah

43:12

it's a it's a nod one but yes sahaneen

43:15

sahaneen sahanein

43:18

if you're from like the south hannah.

43:23

Wes WTF 2562 says

43:25

there's also illastraw

43:29

a lee another moon

43:31

goddess. I think

43:34

they're referring to illastrahi yeah

43:37

I think so too. I think it's the typo. I

43:40

think so too. That's true.

43:42

Yeah a lore master 1996 hey

43:45

step off lore master you're treading

43:47

on our ground lore master

43:49

1997 says yay I got my

43:52

dono dono shout out

43:54

I'm black jester my

43:56

dono shout out oh like donor shout out

43:58

oh hey Black Jester. Uh,

44:02

that must be a, this must be a patron. Oh.

44:05

I'm sorry about what I said about you stepping on our

44:07

ground. You're welcome. You're welcome on our ground. Welcome

44:12

Loremaster. We're happy

44:14

to have you here. DoveKeeper says the Shopify

44:16

ad, 10 out of 10. Oh,

44:18

thank you. Yeah, that was the culminating, the

44:20

fourth Shopify ad, I'm pretty sure. The Shopify

44:23

saga? Yes, I believe, it's either that

44:25

one or the third one, which they're both good. I

44:27

can't believe we didn't bring it up. Akira Toriyama died.

44:29

We didn't bring it up on the show. Yeah,

44:32

it's a bummer. It's hard

44:34

to work that in organically. I mean, DBZ comes

44:36

up a lot, but yeah, it didn't come up

44:38

these two episodes. I try to keep it fresh.

44:40

I've watched a lot of anime since DBZ,

44:42

but yes, Akira Toriyama

44:46

passed away and my

44:48

heart was broken. Yeah, it's buried that day. We

44:51

lost a legend, a true legend, like truly a

44:53

legend. Yeah. You

44:55

know, for all of his

44:57

faults and triumphs, I will miss

44:59

him. Anyway,

45:02

Nata Leozering. Nata Leozering. Let

45:05

me see. FYI, no, FYI,

45:07

a moon bow is another name for a

45:09

crescent moon. It

45:15

just means a bow shaped moon. Oh, damn, I didn't

45:17

expand this one. It's okay, it wasn't a booby trap.

45:19

It just means a bow shaped moon, sort of like

45:22

how a rainbow is a bow shaped after

45:24

it rains. When fantasy

45:26

stuff names an actual weapon bow a

45:28

moon bow, it's basically a play on

45:31

words. IRL, moon bows are just the

45:33

physical phenomenon. One

45:35

of my son's favorite things in the world is a

45:37

crescent moon. He always, when he ever sees one, crescent

45:39

moon. Crescent moon. Hey, that's

45:41

cute. And then if it's cloudy, he's like,

45:43

where's crescent moon? Crescent

45:46

moon hiding. I always think of angels in the

45:48

outfield where they're like, it's God's thumbnail. Oh,

45:50

yeah, yeah, that's stupid. That's the

45:53

moon. Anyway, War

45:56

Master 1997 is back. They say

45:58

you guys did it. You made the end.

46:00

game of ads. Oh, thank you.

46:02

Hell yeah. We did. Thank you. If

46:04

you guys want to advertise, we do advertising

46:06

with, Iliad and Bieran was created to do

46:08

adverts. Indeed. Which is why they search for

46:10

our Patreon items to advert us. Indeed. But

46:13

if you, if anybody's listening out there that

46:15

wants to sponsor Iliad and Bieran, we're happy

46:17

to have that conversation and reach out to

46:20

us at thedundudcastatgmail.com, which is what happened with

46:22

Spotify. Shopify. Let's

46:25

see. JDRVargo287 says at 2330, which I'm

46:27

not going to click that time step

46:29

right now.

46:33

Oh yeah. The battle was a hard fart. That's

46:36

what happens when you eat the battle cabbage, Will.

46:38

Oh God. I forgot I misspoke that episode. Yeah.

46:40

You begged me to edit that out. I did

46:42

not. So I cannot. I'm so glad I left

46:44

it in. Hey, Loremaster1997 is back. I

46:47

now know what anime that arc was based off

46:49

of, and I definitely recognize it from a Google

46:51

search, but never watch it. I guess I'm re-subbing

46:53

to Funimation. It's

46:56

a wild ride, man. I'd say Tension

46:59

Mui-Yo is the OVA, and it's a

47:01

great series. It gets really weird at

47:03

the end. Tension Universe is a more

47:06

complete and digestible one. Probably my favorite,

47:08

but those are the main two. Then

47:10

the Loremaster replied to themselves and said,

47:13

and this isn't very Loremastery of you, Loremaster, but

47:15

also I thought she didn't use a bow anymore

47:17

because she hit her father, but maybe that was

47:19

saloon. I don't know. No, Ellis Jia Yi is

47:21

the one who shot her dad, and

47:23

that was a little fart fault. God damn it. I

47:26

did it. I didn't do it alive. Fuck. It

47:34

is confusing though. I will.

47:36

I'll back you on that. BowBowBowBowBowBowBow.

47:38

9355355 says,

47:40

Korolan has a presence in any universe

47:42

where an elf exists. That's my rule.

47:44

I think that's like the canonical lore.

47:46

LoreFoundry responded to that and said, several

47:48

of the greater gods exist in many

47:50

universes. That's why they are so strong.

47:52

They have followers in many worlds. Bahamut

47:54

and Tiamat both exist in dragon lands.

47:57

Their names are Paladine and Tequisis, just

47:59

one example. Yep, yep. True.

48:02

Yep. True. It's all

48:04

true. Darnell1391 says, once again, the mention of the

48:06

hashtag Best Goddess. I love Elistrahi. JPAnder01

48:12

says, according to the... Oh wait, hang

48:14

on. Yeah, according to the Demi-Human Deities

48:17

of the 2E, it's pronounced On-gar-oth.

48:21

Um, okay. Cool. SirNunosLives

48:24

says... Or maybe it's

48:26

Kernunos. I'm pretty sure it's SirNunos. ElvinDeities,

48:29

Elder Evils, and Hardfarts. Can't ask for

48:31

any more in an episode on my

48:34

day off. Praise

48:36

the gods of commerce for Shopify.

48:39

Man, this is low-key a Shopify ad on the

48:41

back end here. It means we did a

48:43

good job. SupermanTMr2201.

48:47

Wow, this is kind of wild, not gonna

48:49

lie, considering how many times SirHaneen has been

48:51

referenced over the years. It's cool to finally

48:54

see her get her spotlight. Yeah, like I

48:56

said, second favorite deity of all time. Great.

49:00

AndyEnglish4303. Bro,

49:02

it's just basic D&D cosmology that some

49:04

gods are worshipped on multiple planets, which

49:07

we knew. Morden is actually

49:09

the most powerful god in third edition because

49:11

he's got dwarves from all over time and

49:13

space sending in players. Well, prayers,

49:16

not players. LoreFoundry

49:18

responds, says... LoreFoundry

49:21

should be responded. BahamutPaladine

49:24

and Tiamatzakisis are other examples of

49:26

greater gods in multiverse. I wonder which

49:28

comment was first. And

49:31

finally, August... Augustusdens.

49:34

Augustusdens, my

49:36

favorite Elven goddess. Let's go! We're gonna

49:38

call it right there. Have fun with

49:41

a little weird for a second. Yeah, but we have

51:22

great news coming very soon about the new one. Yeah,

51:24

so you'll hear that soon. But our regular merch store

51:26

with just the regular Dungeon Cast stuff is available. There's

51:29

a link in the description below. You can

51:31

also follow us on Discord. That's a place we love

51:33

to interact with fans. Indeed. So come

51:35

talk to us there. You can also find us on

51:37

social media, at the Dungeon Cast on X, Mastodon, and

51:39

Instagram. Thank you to Will for doing stuff like that.

51:42

And if you want to support us, one of the

51:44

best ways to do that is by leaving a review,

51:46

telling a friend, and by leaving

51:48

a review, I mean on Apple Podcasts or

51:50

anywhere you listen to the show, hitting that

51:52

like and subscribe on YouTube, or

51:55

supporting us on patreon.com/the Dungeon Cast. We

51:58

have early episodes that are ad-free. along

52:00

with a slew of other material

52:03

that you can reference including notes for the show,

52:06

fun skits, now we have an Iliad and Beering

52:08

Tier, we have fucking all kinds of stuff. So

52:11

go check it out and with that we're

52:13

gonna call it a game. Let's call it a game. We'll talk to you guys

52:15

later. Hey

52:32

folks, I'm Yen. And I'm Nat. And we're the

52:34

hosts of Comic Sans, the podcast about comics for

52:36

those who are sans knowledge. Comic Sans is a

52:38

show for people who know nothing about comics, like

52:41

me. And people who love them, like me, and

52:43

want to learn more about them. What makes you

52:45

an authority on comic books? I read them, write

52:47

them, live them, breathe them. What makes you the

52:49

authority on knowing nothing? Honestly Yen, two seasons in,

52:52

I actually know a little more than I used

52:54

to. You're welcome. The reason

52:56

for that is that every episode I make Nat

52:58

read one of my favorite comics, like Daredevil Saga

53:00

or This One Summer. And then he tells me

53:02

what makes that comic so special. And then I

53:04

hear what Nat thinks and I try to avoid

53:06

a pulmonary embolism. Well, I actively try to give

53:08

him one. You can listen to the second season

53:10

of Comic Sans now. With new episodes every two

53:12

weeks. Wherever you get your podcasts. You know Yen,

53:15

I think I know so much about comics now that this might

53:17

have to be our last season. Nat, there will

53:19

forever be more comic than you will ever know. What

53:22

does that even mean? I don't know if that's what it

53:24

means.
