S163 Recap: Afraid Of Death Are We? | Ep106: Vibe Check By The Crew

We Must First Take The Legally Mandated Section Of This Recap To Acknowledge And Celebrate Nova's Freedom Of Their Curse. This Curse Of Course Is Their Sheer Ability To Have Gone Through This Entire Roadtrip And Still Somehow Never Have Perceived The Existence Of Boats. This Curse Of Imperception Is Forever Stricken From Their Mind So That They May Now Enjoy The Benefits Of Marine Vehicles. #PraiseBe #Nova'sKnowsBoats2k19

General Summary

Picking up where we left off, Riddles is beset upon by the kindness end of a glaive while being berated about this happening every time they're let off the ship. Riddle's pleads the fifth except he doesn't cuz he says that he didn't even do anything here. Some fuddy-duddy from Tennes Bay recognized him. > #WhatTheFuckHappenedInTennesBay? #AlsoWhereTheFuckIsTennesBay?? > Great Questions! No answers other than that objectively funny crimes shouldn't be illegal. > #SoTrueBestie > Kohkii then takes on a tour of the boat for realsies, showing everyone to their quarters whale also answering some questions about her role on the ship and how whale whispering differs from magical communication with animals > #YouGetActualAnswersToThatOne #AlsoYesThatTypoPunWasIntentional > Okay but we out on the open sea maties! This means the crew is very busy and we need to stay out of the way. Nova kicks it with Tiano in the rower's bay (which is honestly super reminescent of The Forest of Hesychia that Nova's druid circle are the stewards of!) > #JustLikeHome #MildlyInsanityChargedAuraAndAll☻ > Most of everybody else goes to sit with Patty / out of the way of the rest of the crew's tasks > #WeLoveHer #WeDoNotAskPattyToDoThings #ForHerOwnSafetyAsMuchAsOurs > Patty Darling (Speaking The Gospel Truth): “If The Gods Had Made Me Smart, I Would Simply Be Too Powerful.” > #LiterallySoTrueBestie #SoTrue > Romad on the other hand has gone in search of Citzie who is currently peforming her job as shantydriver by playing her jaunty lil tunes on a lyre. > #PleaseDoNotSetTheTreeOnFire #SheDoesn'tEvenHavePants > Romad pulls out his flute for the first time in months and with a little help from Citzie does a grand ol job playing along! > #YouLoveToSeeIt > Romad (during one of the pauses between songs): “I'm gonna make you something! What kind of accessories do you usually like?” > Citzie: *gestures vaguely to the lack of apparel adorning her form* > Romad (Determined Voice): “I'm Gonna Make You A Lyre Holster.” > Meanwhile back down on the main deck, Serenas is using every ounce of willpower he possesses to stop himself from bombarding the crew with questions. Riddilin especially feels (and ignores) the burning gaze in his back. And only partially because the motherfucker is apparently almost 6 feet tall and not a togekka > #WhatTheFuckIsUpWithThatGuy > OKAY JUNO TIME! > Juno: “Where Is The Other One‽” > Serenas (Understanding Instantly): *points in the direction of his fiance*> Juno then clangs off with her sodden tablecloth full of her “Collection” > As she appears before Romad and lays out said collection, we see that it is in fact an assortment of many bits & bobs one might expect to find adrift in the ocean or on shorelines. Romad, needing only the eensiest bit of temptation, chooses to touch the bone. Luckily the party's ample experiences with #CursedShit has prepared his mind and body to reflexively pull back before the curse can take hold. > #TheLeetleLegumeDifference > Juno also takes her turn poking cursed shit and interrogating Romad over the nature and origin of tattoo on his right arm and specifically on the curse–like contract written in the blood of the contractor's child. > ☻ Bet You'd Forgotten About That Detail ☻ > Before Juno is forced to return to the horrors of work responsibilities, she asks one last thing of Romad: “Choose that which attracts you… and that which repels you…” > Romad chooses, of course, The Bone, for what calls to him, and The Amulet™ > Juno: “Ooooo, Scared Of Death Are We??” > #HeyJade? #WhatTheFuckDoesThisMean???? > #>:333 #Wouldn'tYouLikeToKnow > MEAL TIME BELL RINGS!!!! > AND YOU GET A BOWL AND YOU GET A BOWL AND YOU GET A BOWL!!! > #That'sEnoughContextToKnowWhatHappenedRight? > Serenas is once again forced to contain himself at the dinner table and he couldn't be more sad about this fact > What nobody is sad about however is THIS SOUP!!! > #It'sGoodSoup #MagicalEvenSomeMightSay #Who'sSayingThat? #SomeoneNamedMysaraIThink > We then go way overtime playing fantasy poker without me noticing lol. Serenas manages to win in the end with a Nat20 Luck check and a cold noble willingness to trick Knick-Knack & Patty Darling into folding (also Bilgerat sucked at lying at one point) > #CritCount2, #GoodCrits1, #BadCrits1, #FinalCritCount > OKAY THAT'S ALL FOLKS

S163 Crit Count: bilgerat nat1 deception check, serenas nat20 luck check

(Also Serenas won a bottle of fairy wine off Bilgerat in that card game but literally nobody is aware that it's fairy wine, not even Bilgerat.)
