Foreigners.

And welcome back to another wonderful episode of A Quest Happens.

We are so excited to be here with you all tonight. And yeah, I'm actually very excited about tonight's episode.But first, I'm joined today at this table at this time on this planet in this universe with some okay people.

Why don't we introduce ourselves to those.

Who may be listening to this episode for the very first time, which I don't know why they would be. You should go back to the first one.

Why would you do that?

Who's all around the table?

Oh, are we starting with me?

Yeah.

I'm Nicholas Jackson.

Funny name.

I'm Lauren Kelly.

I'm Nathan and I am the real Nicholas Jackson.

The real Nicholas Jackson coming to defend his belt in the cage. But yes, thank you so much for joining us. Like I said, if this is your first episode, don't listen to this one. Go back.Actually, you probably could listen to this one because it is a special one.

So don't tell people what to do.

I tell you what to do and you will listen. No, but yes, seriously, thank you all for joining us.

We have a very special episode for you tonight.

It is different. It is canon. But this is another side quest. So, yes, side quests are fun. They allow us to step back and look at the world from a different.

Angle and see what else is happening.

In Sindeo during the same timeline that our characters might be doing something. So today is a very special episode where you all will not be playing your normal characters.

What?

Dropping this?

This is the first I'm hearing of this.

Go ahead and get on DND beyond. Go ahead and make a new character really fast.

I'm doing this on R slash.

Horrible dms.

Some dms.

And I'm putting this on R slash. How do I delete a player?

How do I total party.

Get a player to leave your party. That's a DM tldr. He sucks.

Just kidding. No, seriously? Yeah, they've already. They've already known they've pre made a new character.

But yeah, we're not gonna let you.

Know is we're just gonna hop into the story and you're gonna have to figure out what we' about. But I'm very excited to see what you all did. So are you ready?

I'm.

I'm fraking ready.

Let's do this.

Ready.

In one part of Cinda, we see a character named Esmeralda, Fitz, Monster Stump and Elui. We see them talking with a giant rabbit folk with a awesome badass energy sword at their Side, there seems to be a few tears, maybe shed.Don't really know the sit situation, but the camera pulls back as we see the world of Sendo. And we go back three and a half, four days. And we'll say three days.We go back in time to another part of Sendo where we see in the Inner Rim, near the border of the Rufiogo Isles, in the Fescue farmlands, we see Bruce Halfacre, Timothy Cleancut and Carl Greenwell giving their final commands to.

The weekend crew of the Mowing Dads faction.

Yes. So we zoom in on Bruce Halfacre. Alright everyone, you've been given your orders. This is it.We are going to cause quite a stir in the Whiskerlands Our time has come. Infiltrate your assigned town, blend in, sneak your equipment in and get ready to mow. Cause in three days at high noon, we mow.Make sure your bubble shields are in working order and charged and ready to go. And you don't stop mowing until the town is cut clean.If they break your bubble shields or if something goes wrong and you are arrested, remember, you are doing it for the cause. All hell, Rufiogo. All hell. Clean cut grass.

And you hear, yeah. A new balance will ascend into Zendaya.

That's right.

Does Timothy have something to say?

Yeah, see, there he is, there's Timothy in the room.

I just wanted to hear his voice and that's all.

He's, he's like cheering Bruce on. And just like you said my name. So you see these leaders pick up their belongings and they're.You're told that they're going to head to the Verdant greens where they're meeting an old farmer in his farmland to get ready for the big day.

Is that the guy that had dogs? We tried, we. We couldn't get into his house.

Yes. Told you, get off his lawn.

Oh, I want to explore this guy more.

That old man.

That old man, yeah. So you see that? You see Bruce Halfacre, Timothy Clean Cut and Carl Greenwell.They head out, they said, yeah, they're going to the verdant greens so they can meet this old man. This old farmer, there is a general. And the three of you are watching, you're in the crowd. You hear this speech given. You all are new recruits.Green, you're fresh. And he, A general comes up and they start separating people into groups. You three are chosen separately and brought into a group.And this general comes to you and says, okay, you three, first off, who the hell are you? All right, I know you all are new, but some introductions are in order to.This is the first time you've all met because you've all been recruited to the. To these in case you don't know the Mowing dads, like I said.And so, yeah, you are now met with a general from the mowing dads group a higher up as you are just new recruits. And he says, all right, it's time to juice each other before I give you your missions. Right, who's going to start?

Okay, so my character, Cricket.

Awkward.

So my character steps up and says,.

Hi diddly ho, neighborinos. They call me Zed Flanders.

Oh my God, it's sexy Ned Flanders.

Stupid sexy Flanders.

Well, oklidokely, that's all I got for now. What's your name, partner?

I guess I can go next. Oh, should I didn't think of a voice necessarily. So I'll. Maybe I'll wait. I don't want to sound like that.

You sound just like.

Yeah, okay. It's going to morph throughout the episode.

So it's going it end up being your voice at the end of the episode, maybe.

So. Okay. The name's Jovi. Long Jovi.

That's. That's actually really good.

Long Jovi.

You're welcome. And I am here to bring a new balance to the world.

So is. Is Long Jovi like a human?

Yes, he is a human fighter. And my profile picture that I was able to find on here is a guy that is fits the description of jean shorts New Balances.And he has his legs spread between like two van like car doors.

Oh, is that Jean Claude Van Damme you got a picture of?

It's not him. It's like a chubby dad.

Okay.

Doing the Jean Claude.

He has his legs spread between the.

Two van car doors.

Yeah. Oh, goodness.

He's doing this.

Oh, I see. Oh, between two van. Open van car doors.

Yes.

Wow.

Okay, I'm going to move my computer.

Exactly what you said.

Yes. Oh, goodness. Okay.

Smacking your microphone.

The computer is back where it should be.

Perfect.

And Zed, right?

Yeah, Zed.

And are you also human?

Is your skin yellow? So Zed, he's kind of got this real weirdly yellowish tint to his skin.He has what might have been a pretty rocking clean, clean cut mustache, but this one actually comes down into just kind of a. A goatee.

A Fu Manchu.

Yeah, a little more of a Fu Manchu. And he's. He's definitely rocking a mullet. He's pretty ripped. He's got bluish shoes on. With an in on the shoes. Yeah. And he says, he says, yeah, I'll.

Be ready to go. I got my limb lobber here.

And he holds up this, like, tree limb saw that has the little clipper.

On it with the string hanging down and it's been sharpened. And he's like, I'm ready to lob some limbs.

All right.

If you know what I mean.

Zed the limb lobber.

I don't.

I love Zed and Long Jovi. Oh, my God.

That is pretty great.

So you're like fit AF and I'm chubby dad.

And who else do we see?

So my character, he's kind of standing. There's like some shadow in that part of the room.

He says, oh, hello there. We're doing introductions already,.

Right?

And he walks out and you see what can only be described as a full grown grizzly bear that has like a ball cap and a plaid shirt.

He says, oh, hi. My name is perfectly average human male type name you could probably expect.

And can I roll a perception check?

Sure.

Okay. There we go.

That is a 2DM. What do I see around the room?

What do you see around the room? So you're not in necessarily? Well, it's kind of like an open air. So it's kind of like a tent that you all are in. So it's more of a tent.But you were kind of in the back of the tent. So you see, like, it's almost like a tent city in a sense. Like, it's been a base camp for just a little bit. So there's a lot of people outside.You see a lot of equipment and things getting moved around in this camp. A lot of the mowing dads are out here getting ready and loading up wagons and things like that.But in this specific tent that you are in, it has like open sides.

Okay.

But it's.

Yeah, you.

These two. And then the general, he says, oh,.

I'm kind of looking around.

Name's John. Open sides. That's right. Yes, absolutely. How's. How's everyone doing?

How the hell are you?

Yeah, Hey, I like this guy at you.

I wanna.

You. Do you have a burrito for lunch?

Yeah, you know it.

Wow.

You got any more burritos on you?

Not at the moment.

I have a really keen sense of smell.

Oh, yeah, Here, let me check you out. Tuna melt, huh? A couple days old. Leftovers.

Well, totally. It's just the general's looking at you. He's just like looking up.

Oh, howdy.

You know, he's like, how did I've got so many questions.

But don't we all?

I have no time for this right now.

Isn't that the shared human experience?

You.

You keep saying human.

Yeah, you. Me. That's right. We got that in common.

Well, did he say. Are you seeing what I'm saying?

You smell like tuna.

Well, either way, nice to meet you, John. Open sides.

Yeah, absolutely. Nice to meet you as well.

Can. Can I call you Johnny?

Sure.

Okay.

That's what the. The Mrs. Calls me. That's correct.

I want to shake your hand.

Yeah, go ahead. Here, grab my hand. My hand, and I'll put my opposable ac. We both have opposable.

Oh, no, you are.

You are not a human.

What?

That's hilarious.

This one's great.

And the general's just like, I've got no time for this. We're in a rush.

That.

You must be one of those. What are they called? Diversity hires. I don't know what's going on here. Listen, listen, I got to give you your assignment. I got places to be.You two can deal with that. But here, anyways. Okay, you three, you're being set to. Cats. You three are being set to. Sent. I can't talk.

Oh, goodness.

You three are being sent to Kat Stan Bull. Yes, it is a smaller. It's a smaller town in the Whiskerlands. And since it's smaller, it might be a little tougher to blend in.

He looks at you,.

But try not to bring any attention to yourself.

So does Zed. He's looking at John with this look on his face like, I wouldn't dream of it.

Can we see your profile photo now?

Oh, yeah.

You want to see it? Okay, so don't hit your microphone at home. Google Bobo the Muppet. Yep, that's exactly what I look like.

You sound a lot like Bobo.

How many wrinkles are on that?

I might have been inspired.

Yes. Yeah. So you. You're given your assignment. You have to head to Kat Stanbull, you know, in three days. It's mo time. And so you need to find.He tells you you need to find a place to settle in. You have to come up with a plan of action when you get there, and you have to find a way that's going to cause the most cutting mayhem.So he's like, your first day, get there, settle in, find a place to make your base of operations renter. Whatever you need to do. Just find a place inside the town.Second day, you really need to come up with your plan of action where you're going to cut how you're going to cut, you know, look for any security measures, whatever need to do to basically just survey the whole town, Get a plan of action. Once you have your plan of action on the third day, you wait for the signal and we're good to go and you start mowing.And then we rendevous back here when the coast is clear.

Perfect.

All right, so. So gather your things, find a cart, whatever you need. Something preferably large.As he looks back at John and just g. Just gather your things, head out. Castanbul, luckily, is not too far from where we're at right now, so you should be able to make it there. And it's like super early.Like dawn has just. So you're going to get there about half the way through the day. And that's going to be your first day in Castanbol. Okay.So he says, yeah, grab your things, load up, head out, and what do you all grab and, you know, get together. What are the things you are taking with you? As newly recruited mowing dads who are being sent on this Sunday wide mission.

John loads up his trusty rake.

John in quotations.

Yeah, John, John. He loads up his trusty rake. Doesn't look too special. Like it's sturdy looking. And his. He's got a push mower and that's about it.

Yeah, nice. No, like backpack or anything with provisions. Just.

Yeah, like, oddly not much on this guy. You guys do notice, though.

What's that?

So he's got like a baseball cap and a flannel. And you notice like on the bottom.

Yes.

You notice on the bottom left of his flannel there's a little bit of blood. It's like ripped a little bit. And he kind of looks back.

He's like, all right, you guys ready to go?

So you're not wearing pants. You are pooh bearing. You're not.

Well, why are you asking? In character or.

Oh, I'm just making sure because.

No, no, for clear visual. Grizzly bear, full grown on his hind legs. Baseball cap, flannel, chain mail under the flannel. That's it.

There it is.

Yep.

Rock and roll.

Hey, I have chainmail too.

Yeah, same.

So let's try not to sneak anywhere.

Yeah. What are the provisions?

What are you taking?

Okay, so I like the long Jovi. Yes, that is my name.

Yeah.

So I like the idea of wearing a flannel. Maybe. Maybe I go find one of them, change clothes. Yeah. So. Because. Yeah. But I'm still gonna wear shorts, so. So like a flannel and like shorts.And then like the white tennis shoes with the in on it. I have a. What one might know as like a leaf blower, but it's like. But it's like a. It's a blowgun, you know.So I'm using the stats of a blowgun, but I'm using it as a.

Like as a leaf blower.

As a leaf blower that shoots darts.

Great.

I'm curious what their projectiles could be like pine cones or something.

There you go.

That's a good idea.

Yeah.

Razor sharp pine cones.

And then I also have those like, so I had to look up the name of them. But. So there's like the little. The little rakes. But then I'm like, oh, no, I want to go with the weeders, which.

Is the three prong weeder.

Well, it's like really small and it's like I'm using the dagger, like, so if you look up weeder, which is.

A small tool to like pop weeds out of the ground, but it's like sharp and pointy at the end.

Yes. And so I'm using the dagger stats.

Cool.

Nice.

So do you find it?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

So I am like.

And I'm like, what is your mower look like?

Okay, so he has a push mower. Maybe I'll have one of those like, old school ones that don't have a motor.

That's what his is.

Oh, it is.

Yeah, like an antique push mower.

Oh, okay.

You got the same thing.

But remember, real mower. A real.

Yeah, There you go. I was trying to find the name of it. That's it.

Yeah. Real mower.

Yeah. How about I do like a.

You could have a fake mower, a.

360 Like riding mower.

Yeah.

I mean, if you can find a way to haul that. Yeah, I mean, you have.

I'm going to.

I'm going to ride it.

Is that going to be your steed?

Okay, so you have outfitted like a mechanical. Yeah, Exactly. Like a 3, 0 turn.

Yes.

Grasshopper mower. So you've kind of outfitted something like that and created. Maybe it's like since this is medium times, maybe it's like a push pedal.Yeah, like you like pedal your feet. So it's almost like bicycle.

But it's got cup holders, mug holders.

This thing's nice.

Perfect.

Yep.

So that might be your actual transportation then.

Yeah, it is.

Pedaling the whole way.

Loungeovy long, Jovi.

What about you, sir Zed? What are you packing?

So as the. As John and Lon John and Lion.

This is a whole nother easy and easy situation.

Kind of look over. You know, Zed shorts are a little shorter than they probably should be.

Yeah.

And he's kicked off his blue New Balance shoes, and he's lacing up these army boots that also have an in on the side. They're like a camo army boot. He slides into the side. He's got, like, a knife holder, and.

It's a sharpened lawn mower blade.

He's got two of those. He carries a pack, of course. He's got a rock climbing harness. And then he has a compass.

Why wouldn't he?

Yeah. And then he's definitely wearing his headlamp, even though it's in the middle of the day.

Nice.

Inside of his bag, you know, he's got a few rations. He's got a. He's got a tinderbox, some oil. He's got a crowbar.

So you're the survivalist, dad.

Oh, yeah. He's to the hilt on that situation. He's got his trusty limb Larber, which is like that pull saw. It's sharpened, ready to go.And he's also got strapped across his back. Sideways in the back are some sharp in T bars, which is like what you make fence posts out of.

Right.

And you get like a T bar driver. He's just got the T bars, and he uses those like javelins.

That's awesome.

I do want to say that John does have New Balances on, but they're just, like, completely blown out. And, like, the claws are sticking out.

Those are, like, given to him when he was recruited. And he puts his feet in, blows right out.

They were given to him.

You're just a really hairy guy. Yeah, yeah. Not fur.

It's just hairy. As we're standing around, Zed looks over and looks down at. At John's feet and says, wow, I.

Feel sorry for your shoes, John.

Oh, you know that. It's just how it goes, you know, I don't want to buy a new pair. You know, they're fine. They still work.

And he says, I. I respect that. Yeah, I respect that.

Yeah. Same to you. You seem to be very prepared.

Yeah.

Always prepared.

That's.

That's who I am. Zed Flanders.

So you don't got any honey on you, do you?

Honey?

Yeah, you know, stuff bees make. Humans love it. Absolutely. You can't get enough of the stuff.

Humans like us, you mean?

Yeah, like you and me and Long Jovi over there.

We're all the same.

Human.

Yeah.

It's Great.

So you're not holding out on me, aren't you?

Oh, no, no.

If I find some honey.

Oh. Oh, yeah.

You'll be the first one to know.

Yeah. Same to you. Same to you.

Of course, you see, a few people walk by. They're like, hello, fellow humans.

And they just keep walking.

Everyone here is so nice.

Lawn and Zada exchange just kind of a sidelong look like, okay,.

This is normal. It's a normal interaction.

Oh, absolutely.

Okay.

I mean, this is the first time all three of you have met, so, you know, begin awkward interactions there. Okay, so as you all kind of pack up your things, figure out what you're gonna do. Are we just taking your riding mower?Like, you're gonna pedal everybody? Are you gonna also maybe do that? Okay, so you're gonna like.

Well, if it's a big riding mower, we could sit on the side of it.

Yeah.

Do you want to pull a wagon or do you all want to take your own wagon? Like, there's horses and stuff here too. So, like, they've made it easy for everyone to, like, go off in different areas.So you could all just take their mower. You could take a wagon plus mower.

Zed says, would you mind give me a ride on that super duper awesome looking mower?

Oh, I don't like the way you're looking at me, brother.

How can you tell? I got my aviator sun shades on.

Oh, that's true.

Meet my gaze, I hope behind you here.

Hi.

I hope that somehow Tumblr finds out about Zed and we can just get some real good.

Oh, my gosh.

I'm really crazy.

I'd be very excited about that.

Oh, man.

Yeah, you got room on that thing for.

Oh, gosh.

He steps on and the whole thing's like, swaying to the side.

Oh, perfect.

You play a really good. Like this out of character, but you play a good big character always.

Yeah, that's true.

All right, so I will do this, and I'm going to prove that my leg strength is strong enough to. I'm going to try to prove Fred Flintstone it. Yeah. That I got the biggest leg muscles.

So are you all hopping on the mower or are you going to pull a wagon with your mower? And they sit in the wagon.

They can. They can hop on.

Cool.

I just picture, like, you two, like, hanging on, like, standing up, like, hanging on. You just see long Joby in the middle is, like, pedaling. You just see this, like, little thing going down the road.It's all three of you Just standing up hugging each other as you riding.

I wonder, like, what miles per hour we're getting with all this weight on this three.

It's just troweling a line in the dirt on Johnson side.

You forgot to lift the blades up.

Those people from before, like, walk and, like, outpace us.

Yeah. Like a grandma on a scooter.

Yeah. Yeah.

So we're going to say this was four days ago. It takes you all a full day of doing this to get there through the night. And you're going to arrive on what would have been the first day.

Lon and Zed are both, like, super red because we didn't wear any sunscreen.

Yeah, sure. Yeah.

Been a long drive.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You have a different kind of complexion.

Oh, no. I mean, just. Man, this sunburn. You look over, it's killing me.

You look over, and John's just, like, slathering sunscreen.

Yeah.

Great. Yeah. Eventually, it's like. It's okay. So we'll say it's, you know, the next day, the morning of the next day. It took you quite a ways to get there.There's this funny side of this just machine heading down the really slow trench, following it, and you're like, you. When you all get there, and you're like, we're here long. You stand up and immediately just fall over because your legs seize up.I should be able to be able.

To roll because I'm trying to prove something.

Okay, well, we'll do strength because it's. We'll do the strength in your legs. I mean, you can do either or, but we'll do. Let's do a strength one. So somebody gave a little on that.

I am gonna use Tiny die. But if this is. If this doesn't work, I'm gonna put this away.

The final test for this episode.

Are my legs strong enough?

Okay.

Strength. Oh, it's a ten.

Ten total.

I rolled a seven plus.

Okay. As you stand up, you're like. You kind of get your balance, like, oh, okay. Boom. You fall right over Charlie Horse.

Yeah. Charlie horse. Yes. Okay.

Doing okay there, John. Oh, I'm John, obviously.

I. I just thought I'd sit down. I'd lay down right here. It seemed like a good place to lay down.

Yeah, I know. Like being a human myself. Sometimes sitting down feels pretty nice.

It does.

Nice patch of grass.

Zed says, I think you need to hydrate. Don't tell me what to do. Of course not. How silly. Daily of me.

So you. You kind of. Yeah.You get there, you know, eventually your Charlie Horse Seizes over and, you know, you rubbing the muscle out and eventually, yeah, you're good. So it's, it's the beginning of, you know, your three days now until the signal comes. And so your first day, you see you're.You're just a little bit outside of Kadstan Bull. You get packed back up, you start heading to Kat Stamp Bowl. You are now in the Whiskerlands. Everything is super overgrown.It's lush, it's green, it's beautiful. I burped. The clouds are super like puffy in this area. Like very cottony.It almost looks like a commercial where a bear would be sitting down and like rubbing toilet paper on his face because it looked like clouds.

It's weird.

Wouldn't be your cousin or anything.

No, no, no.

And so you see the sign for Kastambul now just down the road as you see Castan Bull, you see that it is a very exotic looking town. You see houses in it. As you're kind of looking down the road that leads into. I don't know if you noticed, but I always like.

You look down the road into the town.

Yeah, yeah, I need to change it up. But as you look down the road into the town, you get an aerial view. View of the town down there. And Catanb is actually shaped like a cat's paw.So you have like the central round part of town. Like, like the way it's kind of rounded out. There's like four districts that pop out of the. The top where the little to are.That's kind of the shape of cat stamble. Nice. But you notice it's a very exotic town. You see vines growing on all the building, like sprouting flowers. It's very lush.There's super colorful tapestries just strung everywhere. Off the sides of the homes, through the streets that kind of like arch over the streets like hanging banners with different cut tapestries.Everything is just colorful and vibrant and some of the most exotic and beautiful like fabric you have seen hanging on the buildings. And you notice everyone there is in much vibrant colors. As you're looking at the townspeople, super vibrant colors on their clothing.Everything seems to be. No one's wearing the same thing. Everything seems to be like custom tailored and. Yeah, that's just kind of the town and the vibe that you see.And you do know your first thing is to get to town, get all your equipment in there and find a place to settle in. And he did notice. He also told you, you know, blending. So as you all see Cat Stand Bull Easy. What would you like to do?

Well, you all ready to head on in?

I guess so. Let's do it.

Okay, well, Zed wants to take a look and he pulls, he pulls a set of binoculars out of his bag and he's, he's looking in the town and he's trying to get a read on what they're wearing. And you know, did any of them look like they're wearing jean shorts and tank tops?

And you see absolutely none of that. The only people you see wearing shorts, maybe some children are wearing show shorts. Everyone is wearing like four flowy clothes.Nothing is really form fitting. Like, even some of the sleeves are really puffy and like I said, different fabrics and like sashes and things. Very, very comfy looking oversized.

Are, are they Tabaxi? The cat people?

There's some Tabaxi there, but there's also like humans. It's still a very wide variety of like, species that are in this town.

Zed, as he looks and he, he sees all that, he says, but you.

Do know there are more Tabaxis in the Whiskerlands than anywhere else.

Okay, gotcha, gotcha.

Yeah, sorry, go ahead.

That's good. Zed says, what'd you see?

Well, well, partner, who's. I don't think we're dressed to fit this town.

Oh, really?

And he kind of steps back and he, he yawns actually, and stretches a.

Little bit and puts his hands up.

And it's the first time you actually.

Notice that he's got some extraordinarily hairy armpits.

And as he's stretching and he's kind of thinking, you notice those little white crusties that are from the white deodorant.

Deodorant.

Where are we going with this?

This is great for someone specifically out there. They're having a great time.

He says, be honest with you. I think we need to find some customeroos costumes.

What, what need would we have to disguise ourselves?

I just got this flannel.

We're here in good faith.

Well, John, you're right. I mean, you're sure you're human all but you look like a damn bear.

It's the craziest thing that.

Man, you guys are so funny. That is so funny.

Have you heard that before?

I hear that you're never gonna believe this all the time.

Yeah.

So what kind of, what kind of folk are up there? A bunch of humans like us?

Well, they're wearing these clothes, all right? And if you call them that, they're kind of floundery woundery.

They're flounders, like fish. That sounds delicious.

It was. Like, you're tempting him with fish.

Well, let's go in there.

Like fish. They're fluffily. Woofully.

Fluffily. All right.

You know what I mean?

I don'.

Maybe we ought to think we ought to find some fish.

Maybe we ought to go around the backside to get in there.

Oh, well, you seem to be a very prepared individual, so we're gonna go.

Through the back door.

Maybe he's on something.

Yeah. Okay, let's go down around the backside.

All right.

Sweet. Well, to you, you don't necessarily know where the backside is.This is the first time being here, but you could assume, like, you're on the main road that's heading into, like, the central. Not where the tow beans are, like the central area.So judging the backside might be one of those four districts that kind of pop out from the central area of Kadstan Bull. So, yeah, if, like, if you want to go, like, to the right side or to the left side, you could probably go around and see if there is.I mean, you do see there's a couple extra, like, small roads that lead at. Lead out of the back of the town, if that's what you mean by back. Or if you want to try to.

Find somewhere, like, between the main entrance where people are going to see us dressed the way we are in the.

This town surrounded by, like, a forest. Trees.

Yes, a lot of trees. A lot of just lush everything.

John says I'm pretty good in the forest. If you guys want to go, like,.

Scratch your back, go in there, and I'll go.

Here, let me. It's good. Hey, hold on. This tree is a good tree. You know, when you find a good tree, you got to spend a little time.

Got to scratch your back right there.

All right.

Okay, I'm ready to go.

You get yourself satisfied, John?

Oh, yeah.

Well, let's move on into town then.

All right, let's go.

All right. So, yeah, you kind of make your way to the side, you know, as you're getting closer. Like, are we stealthing it? Are we just kind of just casually.

Any of us are just walking. I'm. I'm looking or Zed's looking kind of for something to some. Some clothing store or something. He's realizing that, you know, we're not.

Really prepared the way we're supposed to be.

Because he's real focused and concerned about being prepared.

Absolutely. Yeah. So you're kind of, you know. You know, there's a main entrance there you're like, but it's not a walled city by any means.There's the main road, but you can, like, walk between buildings, you know, and enter in a different way.So you kind of go to the side a little bit, maybe, like, as you're walking around, you're peeking in between homes and buildings to see what looks like would be a market or something.And by the time you're, like, three quarters of the way around, before you get to the first toe bean on the right side, you notice that, okay, I see some stalls, and there seems to be people, like, exchanging things there. And so. Yeah, exactly.So you're kind of in the grassy area, but you're butting up to, like, buildings, so you can just, like, walk between them and make your way into town that way if you'd like.

So Zed says, if you do want to wait here, let me go pick up some goods for us, and I'll bring him back before we go up in this town.

All right, See, hey, if you find.

Any of them flounders in there, grab one.

You grab one for Johnny.

Misunderstanding one another, but okay, I think I read you loud and clear. All right, if I find one, I'll bring you one.

I. Even though, like, I look like all the other dads in our other town or area, like, I really. Excuse me.I. I really don't want to look like anybody else. I. I want to be like, no, I'm an individualistic, you know, and so I don't wanna, like. But even though.Even though I look like literally every other dad, you know, I think I'm unique. So.

So Zed sneaks off over to this thing, and he tries to find three outfits that would. Might fit us.

Yeah, absolutely. As you're making your way in through, you know, you kind of pop through the homes into the central area where the.You've noticed, like, okay, this is kind of the market area. There's just so many families and people just kind of skipping and just everyone seems to be just smiling and having a great time. And there's.You hear music coming from a lot of different buildings. Also in the open area, you hear someone playing a loot. And like I said, everyone's just dressed fun.

It smells lovely here.

But even in the square or this. Yeah, this town center here, like, the grass is really tall, and you're looking at it like, you know, it's just. Everything's still very overgrown.

Eventually, you get to a market.

You do see almost every stall here is selling some form of fabrics or clothing or spindles and things to sew. And. And so you see a lot. You're almost getting the sense, like, this is a very textile heavy town.As you're looking around, you see lots of wagons loaded up with like, rolled tapestries and fabrics.

Can you afford this?

Tied up with like, silks and things. And they're like leaving town with a wagon. So it seems like they seem to be outsourcing textiles. So maybe that's what they do here.That's what they're known for in Castanbul. But you eventually make it up to one of them. One of the stalls.

Yeah.

What do you ask?

He says, hi there. I happen to be from out of town and I just wanted to buy a few things for myself and a couple of friends that would tidy whitey us up a little bit.

Oh, absolutely.

Hello.

Welcome to Cat Stan Bull. If you believe it, we can weave it.

Wow, that's neat.

Okay.

NATO, yes, you did say something about whitey tidies. Here's the thing. We just deal directly in colors.

So I'm terribly sorry.

I know white. Some people think white color is the base of all the colors, but it's a little boring. So we do everything very colorful here.So no whities or this thing called tidies. I'm very sorry. But I can get you anything else. Like if you need it, we can weave it.

So he looks around a little bit, and then is lawn about the same size? And I. Lawn's actually not going to go for this. But is lon the same size as Zed?

Well, as I'd mentioned, you're very fit and I am.

Oh, yeah, I'm overweight.

Okay.

A little. Okay. Rocker. I know. Okay.

I'm a little husky.

Yeah.

So Zed, like a.

Well, I need something for me and then I need something for someone that's a little husky. And then I need something for.

For basically someone looks like a bear, I guess.

Oh, okay. Well, the good thing is we were. Everything here is oversized. Is what we create.

So should.

Even if it. We get off a little bit, it might even fit a little better. But either way, yes, we can totally help you out.Now, typically, we let people, you know, make their own clothing. We give you the things to make it yourself. But for a little extra fee, I'm sure we could totally do it for you.

Well, if. If you would, then I'd thank you very kindly because I don't know this.

First thing in the world about making clothes.

Oh, yeah, it's very simple. Like, we're all very Good at. But, yeah, for a fee, I can totally get them made for you.

Great.

So kind of me. Yeah, I'm not there, but, yeah, I.

Think that'd be fine.

About how much do you charge to make three sets?

Charge? We don't take any vouchers, silly.

No, you have to be my guest at the fair tomorrow.

Oh, that's. That's your payment.

Your. Your guest now.

Yeah, of course.

We. It's.

It's the Festival of a Thousand Threads tomorrow.

Well, I might. I might be able to find a volunteer for you.

No, silly. That's how we. We treat. You're. You're a guest. You've never. Have you ever been to Kastambul before?

First timer, actually.

Exactly.

You have to come to the festival. It's one. You would be. It would mean the world to me if you were my guest at the Festival of a Thousand Threads.

Well, all right.

We have fun. There's food, there's drinks. Let us take care of you.

This place is a cult.

Well, yeah. Okay.

Well, why not count me in?

I don't know. I think it sounds really nice.

It's like, uncomfortably.

You see, like, this person's family come from behind and, like, hello.

You know, various ages. And they start getting to work on,.

Like, sewing and, like, as you're discussing and talking about things, eventually they're, like, done. Wow. Okay.

Sweet. Can the thing that I bring back for John, what was it? Open.

Open sides.

Open sides. Can it be purple with floofy shoulders and, like, it looks like it's the bear on the fox. Disney.

Oh, Robin Hood.

Yeah.

Little John.

It's. It's.

Oh, the Sheriff Nottingham.

The Sheriff of Nottingham bear.

Okay.

It's, like, too small.

Yeah, it's too small. And it shows his belly. And it's got. It's got these huge floofy shoulders with, like, yellow kind of in this. In the inside and.

Oh, I see. I looked it up. Yeah.

Wait, no. The Sheriff of Nottingham is a wolf. But you're talking about when little John wears. Yeah, Little John wears the clothing.

Yeah.

People, it is little.

We're being embarrassed right now. Yeah. I mean, if that's what you get to bring back.

Yeah. I have no idea what I got. You know, I'm just wondering if it might look like that.

It does.

Now it's just a red shirt and that's it.

And a pot of honey.

Yeah.

In a good place to sit.

It could be a red shirt.

Yeah. What would. What would Joby's clothing look like?

I'd like to say That I, I didn't even choose this purposefully. But my brother in law, when he gets a little tipsy, he'll call me Lawn because my name's Lauren. So when people are saying Lon, I'm like Michael.Okay, continue.

I'm. I'm one. I'm guessing that the folk. The dress is, is like that, like that medieval looking gesture. Y. You know, party. Medieval party look and stuff.

But lots of colors.

Yeah, poofs and stuff and. Yeah, poofs, poofs. We like. I come back and we all have poofy shoulders and poofy legs and they're like real tight on the ankles.Mine's blue and lawns is green.

Okay.

And then that makes sense because purple that or just a red shirt. So I bring you two choices.

It maybe it's like not quite big enough. So it's coming off is like I'm just wearing a shirt.

Yeah, there you go.

It's red.

Perfect.

Well, this, this is, this is great. I can tell by the look on your face that as a fellow human, this is just great. We got similar taste. That's right. Did you see any fish in there?

I found it. I'm going to hit, not hit the microphone, but I found a good photo.

You did, you hit the microphone. Thank you.

Yeah, it's like that. That's funny.

Oh wow.

That's actually.

Yeah, yeah, there you go.

You can look that up on your phone and then turn your phone over.

I'll do that next time. But yeah, you have a mustache and the, in the plume on the hat.

Everyone look up Little John on Google until you find him. He's in like a rich outfit with a monocle and he's got a hat with a feather and a mustache.

You have a bowl of soup in that belly button.

So as you're taking these back, everyone's getting like, you know, dressed up. You notice that there was a couple of children that had followed you out of the town.And as you, you know, you get closed up, they finally reach you all and they're like, mister, Mister.

Oh, hey, little.

Hello, little big mister.

Yeah. Hey, you're one of them smaller ones call you. You're a cub. You're a kid.

You're a kid.

That's right.

I am a kid. I'm I'm this many holds up seven fingers.

Wow.

My hi deadly doe.

My mom told me to bring you.

This and hands you like three slips of paper, has like the name of the inn in the town. And he's like, mom says you're new.

And you need a place to stay. So we always treat our guests well.

And gives you the papers. And they're like, okay, bye.

And you're big.

No.

They leave.

Hey, thanks. I needed that.

And he takes the paper. He starts chewing on it.

Hold on there.

Hold.

Hold on there, John.

Totally do kiddos.

Thank you you so much.

Bye.

Don't eat that. John.

Don't. Yeah, hold on.

These are important.

No. Of rat. That's what I'm saying.

No, not.

You don't eat these. You don't. No, you don't.

Oh, no, sir.

No, you don't.

Oh, sir, we do.

Humans. Humans don't do that.

Of course not us.

Us.

Humans don't do that. Lawn.

I was making sure you guys knew that.

Thank you kindly.

You're welcome.

So we got a place to stay. Let's go check it out.

I look ridiculous.

We got a place. This is what we're supposed to do here first.

Don't.

Don't be ridiculous.

Lon, you look wonderful.

Oh, you put it on lawn. I didn't know you're gonna. That green looks pretty good on you. Kind of goes with your name there.

You got that on.

I say, you know he's human.

Yes. That was.

That's. That's the most human thing you ever heard you say.

Yes. And I. And my self esteem. I'm like, oh, like kind of improves a little bit.

Yeah.

So I thought I look ridiculous.

Let's go check out our digs. Get ready. Because isn't that what's supposed to. We're supposed to do.

Okay, let's go get.

Is all your gear still outside of town? Like your riding mower and everything? Of course.

Yeah. We can't bring that into town, do we?

Do we? Yeah. Where's the writing?

We're gonna lock it to a tree. You know, like bike locking.

Oh, the tree that John scratched his back on. That's where we put that. We kind of locked it. Some foliage on it. Ye.

And stuff.

Supposed to be covert here.

Yeah, yeah, we do that.

Yeah, yeah. So you have these like three slips and they all have the same address on them where you're going.And you pass the in and you realize that's not the address that's on your slips.

Oh.

And so you're like, okay, well, it's not there. We're staying. And you keep going down the street and you head to the. The first toe bean section of cat stanbul. And then you notice that there is a.A large barn that has the address on it. Oh, and it's got like the big barn doors out front. And on your note, and you flip it over to the back and it.

Says, lodging is upstairs, Storage is down below.

You're like, okay. And so that's the address. And you notice it's like a big, big barn with like living quarters above the barn.And then just like a big open storage area underneath that has like a big barn door you can swing open and closed. And it says, enjoy your stay.

John goes in and he sees like, it's probably like a pile of hay or something.

Holy cow. Five star accommodations.

Right?

Can you believe this?

And then you just like go nuzzle.

Does he like start turning in circles?

And he's just over and over, over and over.

Then just like flop stick.

Yeah.

He settles in.

He's like, what are you waiting for?

That's.

And Zed. And Zed is just staring at him like incredulously.

He notices and he gets right up.

And he goes this. Pretty funny, right? Yes, I like to do bits. Yeah, that's just a bit.

Thought you were going to try to sleep there.

That. That'd be funny now. That'd be funny.

But yeah, you notice that it's very spacious down here. And you notice as you go into those barn doors, there's like stairs that lead up into the loft area.And as you go up into the loftier, you notice it's not just like an empty loft. That's like for storing hay and things. It's. It's like enclosed. There's beautiful colored tapestries everywhere.There's at least six beds up here laid out and they're all made up perfectly. And there's like a little welcome basket. And it says like, you know, thank.

You for staying the night. Please write in this guest book how.

You enjoyed, you know, your stay and any comments that you may have. And yeah, and you notice that they're just like. It's stocked with a lot of provisions. There's.There's a keg in the corner with like a wooden tap in it and a little hand nozzle.

Nice.

You notice he had just lots of sweets and fruits and cheeses that are in here.

This place is actually pretty nice.

But, you know, every place has a seedy underbelly. So we just have to see possibly every place. Every place.

So, yeah. Okay. So we passed that this is not the inn. This is a barn that's done up well.

It is also used for lodging. Apparently.

John goes over to the guest book and he picks up the quill and he kind of starts to try. And it kind of just slips out of his claws.

His.

Can't grab it.

Right. Yeah.

He says, elan, maybe you should take care of this.

And then I go to the guest book, and then I write pin 15 in the guest book. And I'm like.

And John can't read. He's nodding.

He's like, oh, thanks.

He's like, got that taken care of.

Zed walks over, and he looks at the book, and he gets a funny look on his face. And he just kind of. He kind of slowly turns his head and just kind of stares at lon with, like, a quizzical look on his face.

And I'm like. And then I close the book.

Seems that you made a good impression on this. You know, this. This vendor that sold you some clothes you had accepted to.

Yes.

You know, as payment and join them at the festival tomorrow. And so to show their appreciation, they also put you up in their lodging.

Wow.

And you notice there is technically room here if you wanted to sneak your lawnmower in.

Yeah.

Into this barn.

Yeah. I think we wait till nightfall and then. Yeah. Bring it in so we can be ready.

Yeah.

Yeah, man.

But now, this next day, we're not.

Supposed to be going to festival. We need to be. Supposed to be cutting grass.

No.

Day two. This is day one at the town.Day two in town, you're supposed to be scoping things out, Coming up with the plan of how you want to, like, where you're gonna mow, what time of the day you think could be best. Kind of figured that out. So basically, day two, you're supposed to be, you know, amongst the people, figuring out where to go.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Mingling.

Getting a lay of the land.

Yeah. Seeing, like, maybe what directions do Sake. What time do people go to sleep about?

What time of day is it right now?

This has kind of been a lot of figuring things out. We're getting close to, like, night time right now. Yeah. It's getting pretty late right now, so if you wanted to.Nightfall's gonna be happening here in a second, so you probably would have time to go out to where you left your machine, and then you can, you know, probably sneak it back in. If you want to keep your machines closer or you can leave them out in the woods. It's totally up to you for your lawn mower.

Yeah.

I feel like either way, we run risk.

Yeah. If someone finds it out there, they'll be looking for us. Actually, if they find it out there, we could give away.

Only thing I think I have. I'm concerned about is we don't have our like weapons. We can't defend ourselves.

Yeah.

Because we did hide those too, right?

Oh, I, I was thinking on me.

Okay. Then I kept, I kept my Rick.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean it's not, it's not weird to see travelers with weapons.

Yeah, true.

You know.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But I mean, I guess the more specific looking like they're gonna cut grass, maybe have a sheath.

Yeah.

You know, something to kind of COVID it.

So my weeders are widdle.

Yeah. So they're like.

You have little weeders.

Yeah, got some woodowidos, but nothing about long. Jovius little.

So just to let you know, he had long.

All right.

Well, he.

Long.

John says, well, all right.

Anybody want to take about a three month nap? Just kidding. I'm just kidding. Call back to the bear jokes.

Oh my gosh, I'm so happy.

Zed settling in, you know, and he's got a, he's got a straight razor, you know, that he, he flicks open. He's got a tiny little mirror that he, he pulled out of his bag.And he's like immaculately, immaculately cutting the, you know, shaving his face with some, some cream and stuff.

And he's like, you know, it's sad that all these cat worshipers and all this overgrown hair as he like, he's like trimming his beard, you know, nice and neat and he's like, but don't worry, we'll.

We'll show him the way out of character. Lauren is like to your character.

But he's feeling it. That's feeling it.

But Lawn is like, this brother knows what's up.

And John is like, yeah, what.

Whatever you're saying, absolutely, I agree. That's right.

I'm right there with you.

We'll clean it all up here. We'll clean it up.

Yep. The thing that, that means.

Perfect straight cut.

Yeah, that's because obviously that's why we're here.

Yes, actually.

Exactly.

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

So you, you realize settling in your first night, these are very comfortable accommodations. Like your, your base camp with the mowing dads is pretty rough, you know, out there in the interim as you know, like it's not the best place to be.And here it's like these soft like beds stuffed with hay in these sheets and like the pillows are just wonderful and being up off the ground is kind of nice. And then just knowing like you just have all this food and stuff in your room, it's like this is very nice.Like they, they had this Place done up nice. And so the next day. Oh, go ahead.

In the middle of the night when you guys are sleeping, you guys, you're like. And then in the morning, all the food is just gone and there's just like trash everywhere.And John is like under his bed and the bed is like held up on top of him. He's like underneath it and he's like.

And then he doesn't wait.

Zed like, he's like. Zed's like looking around and he's like,.

What in the helly will he happened last night here.

Good morning already.

Looks like a bear got in here.

Oh, bear. Where? Where usually bear.

Where'd he go?

I'll get him. I'll get that bear.

I'm not scared now.

John.

Yeah.

Did you eat it? Did you eat everything?

What?

What?

Last night?

Heck. Wow, look at this place.

Whoa.

That was like a week's worth of ration.

There must have been a bear. That's. That's right. That. Oh man. Where'd he go?

Was it you lawn?

You look like you ate everything naturally. I don't know.

It could have been you guys.

We need to ration. We need to ration things. Are you all gonna be ready for this?

I don't got any rats.

We don't have any food.

Oh, Zed's pretty upset.

Yeah, well, Zed, I'm sorry, but wrong place, wrong time.

You know, I think nothing we could do about it.

Nothing we could do could happen to anybody.

Yeah, I mean, definitely was a lot of food that is now gone.

And you're probably not hungry at all. I like suggest breakfast and you're like, I'm full.

Yeah, John's kind of like like looking okay.

When we get out there today, just making sure and keep an eye on things and pack some food away. We're gonna need some things, some something to eat.

Yeah, if only we had something to eat. Well, I'm gonna put my new clothes on. Ready for a new day.

As you all are kind of like talking and everything. And about all this outside you hear lots of like laughing and like people talking and music's already kicking off.And it's pretty early in the morning, but there seems to be a lot of like commotion outside and a lot of loud noises. But it seems to be very happy and festive. What do you do?

Well, Zed's pissed cuz he's like, he's not prepared.

Did you say sinners?

Yeah, they do not know the way they're in their.

Their overly. And he did sleep on A single board last night. Yeah, because that's how Zed sleeps, you.

Know, and he's just like all the gluttony. Glut. Gluttony was. He.

Made n. Oh, that really caught me off guard.

Okay, so we prepare ourselves to go and you know, and by the way, Zed has not taken off his. His aviator.

Even when he sleeps.

Yeah, even when he.

Have we seen your eyes yet?

I guess. No, not really.

No.

How do you not, like you just now noticing.

How did you not.

When he's shaving, he's in the dark.

Yeah. Do you not trip in the nighttime?

He probably didn't see what happened last night.

Yeah, exactly. That's why you didn't catch him eat on food.

Well, should we, like, roll perception or something to see, like, what's around town and like, maybe we could get an idea where we should go first?

Sure, yeah. If. I mean, you have to either look out the window, step outside, whichever.

Oh, yeah, let's go outside and we find out where we're supposed to be and we're like, you know, I guess we're supposed to go to this festival. So I'm looking for the.

The festivals today.

Right.

Okay.

Oh, Zed forgot to ask the person.

Or maybe Zed asked him what the name was of the person he's supposed to be meeting.

That.

The textile lady.

Oh, yeah. Lon. What was her name again?

What was her name? Yeah, I wasn't there.

I know. Give me random name is what I'm saying.

I forgot to name the NPC Sally.

All right, there it is.

That's.

It.

Was Sally Canon.

Was Sally a Tabaxi?

Sally was not a tobacco. Sally was human.

Okay, Okay.

I got. I got nothing.

Well, along came Sally.

Is that right?

Well, Sally, in this world.

In this world.

Yeah.

Along came Sally. So, yeah, Sally. Because I totally forgot to name that npc. Yeah, so you know, you.That Sally said, you know, you're supposed to be going with Sally, but as you go outside, everyone. Rolling perception.

Okay.

Oh, I rolled a bigger die. And I got a dirty 20.

Perfect.

16.

Perfect.

I got a 10.

Okay, let's see. John snap I plus four.

So I got a 14.

Oh, perfect. There we go. So you all.

I'm a very perceptive human guy.

Perceptive human.

Very perceptive human.

So all of you, as you're looking around, you notice that there was a lot of people yesterday and a lot of hustle and bustle in town. This is like. Like times three right now. There's a lot of people out on the Streets already. You're like, the sun just came up not too long ago.

Yeah.

You know, and there just seems to be people everywhere. There's even more banners being. Hey. Being hung.You notice in the center of town, there's, like a giant pole with a bunch of, like, ribbons now coming down. Almost looks like one of those were, like, the maypole or whatever. It looks like that, but just like so much more.You see there's a bunch more musicians. You see there's now a stage that has popped up, and you see lots of signs that say Festival of a Thousand Threads.And you do notice that there's also a lot of just, like, stringed thread, like, hanging everywhere. So it almost looks like you're just in a big weave of, like, cross crisscrossing threads above you all. And it's so dang festive right now.

What's the.

This is such a cult.

What's the grass situation?

The grass is still very high. Yes, I see.

Midsummer.

That's what I was gonna. I was waiting to bring up.

Up.

Like, when's a good time to make a midsummer joke?

I will say the grass is so, like, out of hand here. And all the foliage that, like, the water is actually at ground level, like in the creeks and stuff.Normally, like, the water and the whole situation here in Sandeo, the water, like, is, you know. Yeah. Blows up.But for some reason, in this area, in this part of the Whiskerlands here, Castan Bull, where there's some of the most overgrown, like, that water is like. Like down.

That's strange, considering they're like cat worshipers. Right, That's.

Well, remember, the cat worshipers want the water to stay down.

That's.

Oh, my gosh.

The dog worshippers want the water to go to piss off the cat.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that. That tracks.

Yep.

Who made these rules?

Yeah.

Foolish fools.

Some foolish people. At Episode zero, I. I'm getting, like,.

Really kind of, like, antsy about, like. Like, I'm, like, eyeballing the grass and I'm like, it's so tall. That's what I do.

Long Jovi.

It's. They were born.

Was that an anxious born for this?

No, it was kind of like a.

I had to cut it.

Oh, yeah.
