Yes, yep, same company, same company. But I've gone back to my my warehouse roots and now I'm I'm back into inventory control. 03:43.92 sidekqpodcast Ah, okay so what's that life like like just solitary or is it like getting to play with robots in boxes and stuff. 03:52.69 Jacob Prince Ah, no, no, it's a much smaller scale operation. It's a lot more personal this time I've only got a team of 4 including myself. So it's it's the 4 of us. Ah it is pretty solitary but ah I mean. 03:58.60 sidekqpodcast M. 04:09.18 Jacob Prince Phones are going out. We have people coming in to pick them up 3 times a day. So like we're not always alone. It's just in those interim hours that ah, all 4 of us kind of lose our sanity a little bit for a couple hours a day every day. 04:19.84 sidekqpodcast Yeah, yeah, and you've also kind of had a re and you also have had a bit of a rebranding as far as ah, like your Youtube and stuff like that. Are you able to tell us more about your new venture that you're doing. 04:31.12 Jacob Prince Yes, ah I mean I guess I can I wasn't going to plan on plugging that that feels weird but I have recently started vtubing ah my new alter ego. So. 04:44.76 sidekqpodcast E. 04:50.35 Jacob Prince For the last twenty years online I've been known as Galapagos and then I thought of a very funny username and um I like most names I come up with to have you know meanings behind them. So my new alter ego is ah. Beauregard faties the salary man on demand and yeah, yeah, so ah, did you do you know there? There's a little joke in the name there did you catch on to it. Okay, so. 05:11.79 sidekqpodcast M. 05:22.12 sidekqpodcast I I can't say that I did I mean I'm a dad now. So I got dad jokes for days but that's one that even slipped by me. Yeah. 05:31.60 Jacob Prince Ah, well this is a bit of an inappropriate dad joke. That's maybe why you missed it so Kurt tell me tell me what is beauregard. What do you shorten that down to perfect and what's the last name. Okay. 05:33.19 sidekqpodcast Okay. 05:40.60 sidekqpodcast Bo fates. 05:50.10 Jacob Prince Beaufity's nuts. 05:51.41 sidekqpodcast Ah, okay, yeah. 05:55.68 Jacob Prince Ah, it goes over almost everybody's name and that's exactly what I was going for. But yeah so I've always you know, kind of done ah content creation as a hobby for like the last ten years and this year I just decided to take it more seriously. So I rebranded a Youtube account that. You know, uploaded once or twice a year for the last ten years and I've been streaming four days a week releasing videos when I have time to and it's been a lot of fun content creation is exhausting which I'm sure you have learned the hard way. 06:15.69 sidekqpodcast Yes. 06:23.80 sidekqpodcast Me. Yeah, yeah, even doing a podcast just a one man Band podcast can be very exhausting for Sure. So. 06:33.60 Jacob Prince I. Oh yeah, yeah, it's very draining and I've I Yeah, it's fun though. I find it very rewarding, especially since I do more of the live streaming thing interacting with people in real time while doing something else is a lot of fun. 06:52.34 sidekqpodcast And now maybe you can ah I don't know if Dispel rumors or you know put the stigma off of it I guess is because I don't know I hear vtuber and maybe it's because of the animations or the type of. Avatars that people choose some of them look pretty promiscuous and and scantily and all that sort of stuff. So is that all what the V Two community is about or is it just the idea of like oh I'm not comfortable with showing my personal appearance online. So I'll just make like a cartoonish. 07:15.39 Jacob Prince Sure. 07:28.60 sidekqpodcast Avatar or stand in is so it's still my voice and it's still me as a person or me as a character if you will um and then that's the only difference. It's just I'm not putting a webcam directly on my face. It's maybe mapping stuff on. So it's like imitating the movements but it's not actually me on camera. 07:48.46 Jacob Prince Yeah, you actually nailed a lot of components of vtuing they're like spot on a lot of people do it for the anonymity and I mean you know some of them are permiscuous sex cells. Ah ah like that's yeah and like. 08:01.57 sidekqpodcast Um. 08:05.44 Jacob Prince There are Twitch categories that are with real streamers that are already writing the line of like what is legal and allowed on sites with miners on it so exactly exactly exactly so like I mean yeah I feel like a lot of vtubers. 08:12.46 sidekqpodcast Yeah, terms of service and all that stuff. Yeah. 08:24.31 Jacob Prince Get a bad rap on them specifically because there there there are literal cartoonized versions of what's going on. So it's like a caricature of real life and I personally don't do it for. 08:33.34 sidekqpodcast M. 08:39.89 Jacob Prince The ah the anonymity or anything like that I literally do it because I'm too lazy to build a set like as you can see behind me. That's that's my bed that's just a shelf I've had up for the last three and a half years like and I don't want people telling me I look tired so that's why I decided to go that route. 08:42.90 sidekqpodcast I. 08:58.10 sidekqpodcast Her okay, okay, good good good. So you are not promiscuous on your Youtube channel the stream that I tuned into I was doing the dishes and you were playing a dragon ball z game which you were getting deep into the lore and explaining and I was like. 08:59.56 Jacob Prince It's just easier. Yeah. 09:06.91 Jacob Prince Right. 09:16.83 sidekqpodcast Back in my day on Saturday morning cartoons. It was the he had the the monkey tale and then he would turn into the giant ah Kaju ah King Kong and then they were hunting for dragon balls and fighting freeze and that's the last of Dragon Ball z that I remember. 09:26.34 Jacob Prince Yeah. 09:34.17 Jacob Prince Don't get me started on Dragon Ball I could talk about that for hours like that's ah I have made dragon ball like a third of my personality by this point in my life. So like yeah, that's where that was all coming from but just for your sanity and. 09:47.26 sidekqpodcast But yeah, you were kind of ah oh sorry. Okay what I will say but that was interesting about the stream because I think you were you were explaining that you were doing like ah like a battle mode or something like that because you were trying to level up your characters. 09:51.00 Jacob Prince And your listener sanity. Yeah, let's not. But. 10:04.77 Jacob Prince The and. 10:04.91 sidekqpodcast And then you were like all right? Let's finally go now into the real story of the game and you were like oh this is so cool. This is taking you all the way back to like original dragon ball and working through the timeline of the game and so then when you did these fights you were like literally you just tapped like 1 button and then you knocked out the. 10:09.80 Jacob Prince Yeah. 10:23.48 sidekqpodcast Opponent because you're like oh I am so overpowered this is ridiculously cartoonish. 10:29.16 Jacob Prince Yeah, yeah, yeah I bought dlc that lets you just power level because it ah it looked like a fighting game but it's just an Rpg like that was a glorified action Rpg Where big number is better. 10:34.13 sidekqpodcast O. 10:41.84 Jacob Prince Ah, so yeah, you saw me grinding I think I did like 3 hours of grinding and then yeah because I was so overleved at that point I like comedically onetapped everything I remember laughing very hard at how trivializing that was so. 10:58.15 sidekqpodcast You do stuff like that with your V tubing is you're playing games and stuff like that and interacting with the with your community. 10:58.86 Jacob Prince Ah, yeah, yeah, um, and yeah, yeah, yep, yep for sure and um I actually have a couple of things in the pipeline that i. So dragon ball was just that game that day but I do let's plays on all sorts of stuff and I'm going to be releasing some long form and short form content I actually yes I'm glad you brought that up because that's where my character today is from but ah. 11:22.37 sidekqpodcast Balder's gate 3 getting on the d and d yeah. 11:30.00 sidekqpodcast Okay, ooh. Okay, nice synergy Brand synergy. 11:35.78 Jacob Prince Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly exactly. But um, oh man and um I've lost my train of thought sorry but no, it's okay. 11:43.77 sidekqpodcast I Apologize it was probably me I interjected and ruined it. 11:51.80 Jacob Prince I know well I mean I just so excited to talk to talk about my character today. That's all I was like yeah. 11:59.85 sidekqpodcast All right cool. Well then yeah, we what's okay so um, yeah, so you're playing games like Dragon ball. Um, you may be bringing a character in from another upcoming game that you're gonna be playing maybe stay tuned. We'll find out. 12:05.60 Jacob Prince Oh yeah. 12:14.32 Jacob Prince Oh I've actually started balder Yate I have done some streams on it already. But um so I'm I'm very numbers driven and I've noticed that single player balders Ya doesn't perform very well. So I'm waiting for friends so I can play that Multiplayer performs. Incredibly. 12:16.29 sidekqpodcast Ok. 12:25.32 sidekqpodcast M. 12:31.86 Jacob Prince Singa playerre not so much because it's just 1 guy like quick save quick load quick save quick. 12:32.93 sidekqpodcast Okay, because I was going to say the only okay because I think I watched one last night and I believe it's Joe Cat who's pretty big in like kind of like the animation d and d scene and also ah you know, dming advice and stuff like that and. 12:44.77 Jacob Prince Ah. 12:49.95 Jacob Prince Yeah. 12:50.73 sidekqpodcast Ah, he had a live stream that he was doing and so it is his cartoon version of himself in the 1 corner while he's going through the the solo campaign and it was like the first act or whatever he did. But I know there's the viral videos going around of like I guess the 4 gnomes. 12:59.71 Jacob Prince Yeah. 13:06.59 sidekqpodcast The gnome barbarians that put all the dynamite in the 1 place and then they just they hit 1 thing and it like blew up the entire place or whatever. 13:09.53 Jacob Prince Yeah, yeah. Yeah that's actually a recreation of a divinity original sin video for also bilarian. Yeah yeah, somebody somebody I think did a speed run only exploding barrels for the entire game so they're doing it again in Balder's gate 13:18.80 sidekqpodcast Oh really? Oh okay, then. 13:30.31 sidekqpodcast There you go fun fact, very cool and yeah so to keep on going ah to keep the good times rolling here on this show obviously ah keen listeners will know the answer to this already. But. 13:33.50 Jacob Prince Yeah. 13:45.93 sidekqpodcast Do you currently or have you ever played D and D before we both got our start at the same time. 13:51.43 Jacob Prince We sure did and man I yeah maybe it's my rose 10 and goggles. But I feel like people talk a lot of crap on fourth edition like yes, it had problems. 14:02.65 sidekqpodcast Yeah, and and definitely now with yeah it did it did true. Um, but I know in in listening to the streams that ah mcdm productions. Ah, Matt Coleville did with dusk that's an entire four e campaign that they did that was amazing to listen to and get nostalgia for um, but also even in the development of ah the new monster book that mcdm productions put out fle mortals. Has very much for e mechanics as far as all the monsters and stuff are concerned and even the new layer book that goes with it where evil lies I very excited to have those now in my collection just waiting on the hardcover book version of ah where evil lies to arrive. But. 14:37.38 Jacob Prince O. 14:51.20 sidekqpodcast Yeah, no so I think there is slowly a ah ah a rekindling of four e mechanics now that we're in this life cycle stage of 5 v and they're they're doing the play testing for the I don't know next version whether that's 6 whether it's. People jokingly calling it 5.5 or something else I don't know. 15:12.38 Jacob Prince I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being 5.5 I bet they're not it. 5 is such a solid foundation I don't see them changing a whole lot baseline. 15:17.97 sidekqpodcast Yeah, it is yeah like I'm heavily invested in 5 now I sold on my 4 books just because that was a necessity to do part of me's like man. Maybe I wish I hadn't sold them. Yeah no ah half price books thing I know half price books actually did pay me quite a bit for those so that was that was nice so they were they were worth it. 15:26.35 Jacob Prince Did you get anything for them I don't know man. Oh okay. 15:37.80 sidekqpodcast So um, but yeah, yeah, no I'm solidly invested in five now at this point and especially with all the third party content that's out there. It's just like there's yeah, it's like it's going to make it hard for me to want to move to another system. But yeah, that's just my personal opinion. 15:53.71 Jacob Prince I agree wholeheartedly and like so last time I was on here I brought a path finder character and like the only reason I was even playing path findder is it wasn't my books like I just made the character and played in the campaign. Ah I don't. 16:02.55 sidekqpodcast M. M. 16:11.23 Jacob Prince I'm the same way I'm way too invested in in five E At this point. 16:16.77 sidekqpodcast And have you had a chance to play any ah games because I think at one point during the pandemic we did try and do like a pathfinder two e game that was like 1 session. It was really cool but like. 16:26.21 Jacob Prince Yeah. 16:29.73 sidekqpodcast It kind of fizzled out after that point. 16:32.12 Jacob Prince Um, no I mean I think I played 1 other so nothing long term nothing like what we we did in college um man yes, so. 16:44.82 sidekqpodcast Um. 16:49.57 Jacob Prince I Played a game I cannot for the life remember me remember it also during the pandemic. Um, all we had was like a single D six no character sheets. It was basically all roleplay and we just like it's like a problem solving tabletop Rpg. Almost yeah I man I cannot remember it but that that was neat I it was There wasn't enough there for me though. Like I. 17:08.75 sidekqpodcast Um, interesting. 17:22.23 sidekqpodcast Um. 17:25.55 Jacob Prince I have come to realize I actually really value the play mat a lot and like mininies and even just the little popouts that we had back in the day I still use those from time to time I find them very helpful when you don't have a mini for something you want to use. 17:38.92 sidekqpodcast Oh yeah, for sure. Yeah, the the little die cuts that we had back in four e were super valuable I think you use like some you know again, nerding out a little bit if I recall. There wasn't like a polar bear one but you played a dragonborn ranger and you had an animal companion a polar bear that you had named Bob and we had to use like a like a white werewolf token or something like that and that represented Bob the bear I remember that. 17:54.53 Jacob Prince Right? Yes, Yes, yes. Yeah, yeah I think it it was either I think it was a dire wolf. It was very fierce looking so Fierce white Wolf token. Yeah right. 18:16.30 sidekqpodcast Yeah, but it was only like 1 toke 8 one square big. It wasn't like ah like a two one I remember he was a medium sized bear. Yeah oh man, good times. 18:23.39 Jacob Prince Yeah, it was a medium-sized preacher. Yeah those we're good. That's crazy to think that was over ten years ago ah 18:30.87 sidekqpodcast I know yeah the well the time of our recording at the time of our recording. We're literally coming up on our thirteenth anniversary of playing our very first four e game back in my old apartment way back when. 18:48.10 Jacob Prince Wow Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow Wow. Ah oh my God Are we ever. 18:50.40 sidekqpodcast We're old. Yep, okay, so yeah, yeah, getting to play. Ah oh what was it in the 2 the pathfiner 2 e game we played over the the pandemic there a little bit we it was a. Benjamin Horiggold I think was the name of the little halfling schwash buckler that I came up with and it did some cool moves and stuff like that. But other than that you've just been kind of chilling in this adjacent sort of rpg realm and now with Balder's gate three I guess that's been your substitutionary sort of ah. 19:18.12 Jacob Prince Moon. 19:24.00 sidekqpodcast Dungeons and dragons experience that you're having nowadays. 19:26.26 Jacob Prince Yes, I was super burnt out on dming I I ran a group I think we stopped before the pandemic but from like 2016 to the end of 2019 I ran a really long fifth edition campaign and I was just I was toast by the end of that I had nothing left in the tank and I stepped away from dming and tabletops for a couple of years and then Balder's gate just was like hey you know all of this. 19:44.64 sidekqpodcast M m. 19:59.20 sidekqpodcast So. 20:01.33 Jacob Prince You're going to have a blast and yeah, so that's pretty much I haven't touched anything d and d related for basically 3 years and then Larryian was like hey. 20:15.13 sidekqpodcast Well there you go wait ah way to get back in the saddle then no no finer way I suppose So yes, were we're keeping on. Ah, oh yes, but we'll we'll work on that we'll we'll get you. We'll get you motivated. We'll get you back in the groove. So. 20:19.30 Jacob Prince Yeah, still haven't played physically yet. But I'm. 20:30.84 sidekqpodcast Ah, yeah, as we're keeping on with the theme of the show. Of course you know we like to examine the questions of who happens to be a favorite. Ah Npc a favorite sidekick character whether they be from video game movie, film, television, etc. And ah, why is this other. Sidekick character this other Npc stuck with you doesn't necessarily have to be the same Answer. You gave last time but maybe there's a new one that you've come across in the interim. 20:57.33 Jacob Prince Do you remember who I gave last time because I don't. 21:01.40 sidekqpodcast 1 quick Google search onto the podcast website. Maybe yeah sidekicks and sidequest dot com where you can ah you know, look at all of the guest pages and all those write ups that I desperately need to get caught up on. 21:04.73 Jacob Prince Oh oh fancy. 21:14.93 Jacob Prince Um, ah broke here. 21:20.21 sidekqpodcast Um, but that'll happen I can happily report as of today we officially now have the entirety of season. 1 of the podcast now duplicated up on the Youtube channel that we're now operating for ps sidekicks and sidequest. So if you're not already like share subscribe. Click the bell for the notification icons. All that good stuff. Um, yeah, so here as I have my notes pulled up now you were told telling me about tattle from legend to zelda majors mask. 21:53.90 Jacob Prince Ah, okay, well, ah this time I actually have an npc that has been living rent free in my head for the last couple of years ah it is and. 22:03.42 sidekqpodcast Mm. 22:07.35 Jacob Prince If you have a lot of final fantasy 14 fans they're going to know immediately who that who this is they're either going to groan or cheer I absolutely love Hildebrand Manderville he is one of the funniest characters. 22:19.54 sidekqpodcast M. 22:27.90 Jacob Prince In basically fiction ah now. Okay, so imagine Sherlock Holmes right but like with an I q of 30 but he still solves the case and he cannot be killed. 22:34.24 sidekqpodcast Okay. Oh boy. 22:46.96 Jacob Prince That's basically hilda brand. Ah. 22:47.47 sidekqpodcast And it's an and especially book smart but he still does manage to catch his man just like the mounties we always get a man. 22:58.16 Jacob Prince Yep, now if he looked it now if he looked into it. You know that? yeah you don't really question it because he still got the guy. 23:10.84 sidekqpodcast Okay, and so then ah first. 23:12.38 Jacob Prince But that's that's a long running quest line that's been going on for the last ten years in final fantasy 14 and ah. 23:22.70 Jacob Prince I I do it The second it comes out every patch I Love it I can't get enough of it. It's just classic Japanese slapstick. 23:27.69 sidekqpodcast Okay, so now I am not super experienced when it comes to the final fantasy series. So fourteen is the Mmo Rpg version of final fantasy. 23:36.72 Jacob Prince Okay. Yes, the second Mmo the current one I mean I play both of them I play both of them. But yes, yeah, okay. 23:44.44 sidekqpodcast Oh the current one because I think I got 15 fteen's the one with the car right? The fancy car in the desert. Okay, that's the one I got for my wife because she wanted that one. So okay, so the one before that that's the mmo rpg version and this is where we find this reoccurring character. 24:03.35 Jacob Prince Yes, yes. 24:03.71 sidekqpodcast Ah, in this game. Ah, ah, okay, and so then you so as you were mentioning. There's a there's an equal amount of ah Groans and cheers for this particular Npc in the game. 24:16.81 Jacob Prince Oh yes, exactly like they recently made him required for a super powerful weapon that upgrades over time and a lot of people I love it ah more more spotlight on the mandarvilles I'm all for it. 24:33.40 sidekqpodcast M. 24:35.66 Jacob Prince But there are some people that just lose their mind in the opposite way. Ah, and I just I laugh at them suffering because I'm having a great time I'm laughing at the game I'm laughing at them. It's just it's It's a great time. It's a great time. 24:54.31 sidekqpodcast Okay, and then ah to go along with that as well Since the last time we spoke what's been a new or interesting side quest that you've come across or B Plot element and why is this stuck with you. 25:08.75 Jacob Prince Okay, so I've played through act 1 in baldersgate 3 times now. At this point right? Um, my very first time the answer is Auntie Ethel by the way. Ah. 25:12.98 sidekqpodcast Ok. 25:20.10 sidekqpodcast Oh okay. 25:25.34 Jacob Prince I missed her entirely in the village I just never clicked on her mister. So I've had 2 very different experiences with her the the first time I ran into her I immediately sighted with the brothers because I didn't know who this crazy lady was. 25:42.87 sidekqpodcast M. 25:44.20 Jacob Prince Never met her and then the second time I did act one I went out of my way to find her because I was talking to one of my friends who are like yo. There's all this lore like you miss so much and just the way that she talks her being. Ah. D and d hag that early in the game is fascinating to me and the way that she like carries herself in her human form like keeping up that facade is very interesting and it. 26:08.12 sidekqpodcast I. 26:15.71 sidekqpodcast Yes I think I had seen someone's playthrough and so I was like you name I was like oh I think I know who you're talking about I haven't played it I have ah I am but a lowly Xbox player and so the game is not available on Xbox yet. So I'm just like I so just wait. 26:29.61 Jacob Prince Ah, ah, ah so you know how powerful Hags are in D and D right? yes. 26:34.86 sidekqpodcast Oh yes, yeah yeah, the the bigger they are the scarier. They are the more powerful and if you get groups of them together. They're even more powerful. Yeah yeah. 26:43.22 Jacob Prince Game over? Yeah yeah, so I just think it's super interesting that it basically the beginning of the game your top you can find her as early as level four like five hours into the game. And there's there's like 5 or 6 different endings to her quest I saved scum to see them all and it's yeah, ah man it's fascinating fascinating character I don't want to spoil too much of it I feel like I've already spoiled a lot. But. It's at the very beginning of the game so you know act one come on. It's been out for a couple months now if you have the ability to play it. You should have yeah, that's tragic. 27:19.70 sidekqpodcast I'm sure. Yeah, yeah, unless you're like me and you're an ex box player and you're just waiting for for everyone else to remember us. But oh well and then the way we'll end the personal interview section. 27:31.16 Jacob Prince Yeah, yeah. 27:37.70 sidekqpodcast Ah, what is a new passion in your life and why are you passionate about it. 27:42.81 Jacob Prince I think we talked about it a little bit already. Definitely my content creation side now. Yeah I like like I said earlier I've I did it as a hobby for 10 years and now I'm just. 27:49.10 sidekqpodcast M. 27:59.90 Jacob Prince I Don't know what lit the fire under me but like it's consumed a huge chunk of my free time. So I yeah it it feels like a hard balancing act now with how how much of how much time I'm putting into it. 28:16.70 sidekqpodcast So. 28:19.67 Jacob Prince But ah yeah I don't know I really like content creation quite a lot. 28:26.14 sidekqpodcast And and so the joy of making things and doing things you know, purely for you know? Yeah, you're entertaining people as well. But first and foremost you should be doing it. Um for you and not in not stressing and certainly I would you know want to you know, take your mental health into an account. 28:39.10 Jacob Prince Yeah. 28:43.14 sidekqpodcast And if you start getting burned out on this then you know feel free to take a step back and you know reevaluate and be like maybe maybe I need to take it easy or something like that I know me know my my dear wife Casey has to remind me of like hey if the podcast is getting too much. You know you are allowed to take breaks. You don't have to. 28:45.78 Jacob Prince Oh for sure. 28:52.47 Jacob Prince Yeah, it. 29:01.64 sidekqpodcast Do this forever and ever and ever and ever so. 29:03.61 Jacob Prince Yeah, yeah, exactly exactly and it's not like I'm a full time content creator. So I don't have to worry about constantly being on that grind I'm doing it as a hobby. So like if I start exactly if I start feeling that burnout hey I can step. 29:13.20 sidekqpodcast Sure Yeah Hobbyist hobbyist. Yeah yeah. 29:22.99 Jacob Prince Step back find by me. 29:24.88 sidekqpodcast Um, yeah, totally. And ah oh that's what it was sorry I was like you sound quieter in my ears and it's because this dial moved the other way so I couldn't hear you so. Okay, so I was like oh it's getting really quiet. It's like but I see my my lines moving up so it's recording me so I was I was gonna lose my mind but we crisis averted. So um, all right? Well, it's been great catching up with a jacob here in down memory lane that. Now it's time we head into a segment that I like to call npc creation. Do do do do do do do and npc creation is of course brought to you by you the podcast audience and our patrons from patreon so now is the time in the show where we give a shout out to our.

And help us expand and grow our operations and help us expand our operations in this demi plane and worlds beyond all right? So as ah, we were discussing and figuring out before we started hitting all the record buttons and such. Ah, you had another character that you wanted to bring to us. So not maybe maybe not necessarily another pathfinder character of yours but this is like ah a true blue dungeons and dragons character that we're dealing with today correct. 31:41.11 Jacob Prince Well mostly you know I haven't put him on paper. He's a video game character after all. So I don't know how different some of the feats would play out in real life because I actually he's a sorcerer just so you know I haven't played a sorcerer pin and paper before. 31:48.66 sidekqpodcast Mm. 31:52.95 sidekqpodcast Sure. 32:00.73 sidekqpodcast Um, okay, very cool all right? So then ah so we've so are we doing like a combination where it's like we have some goal posts or guide posts that we're working with and then some other things can be randomized or you're just like. 32:00.83 Jacob Prince Personally so now. Yeah. 32:16.33 sidekqpodcast We're just going to work our way through the questions and whatever moves me is how I'm going to answer kind of a thing. 32:22.29 Jacob Prince More or less the latter. Ah I like his backstory quite a bit that's his backstory in class are the only thing I'm dead set on even his name is malleable. But I'm going to throw out what his name currently is so yeah. 32:32.70 sidekqpodcast Mm. Okay, okay, well then I will have all of the random tables available. So Just in case, you're like this is is we need a little more spice then you could just be like all right I'll roll a dice and we'll figure out what we get instead. So we'll work our way through the questions. 32:40.14 Jacob Prince Once we get to that. 32:51.47 Jacob Prince Sure. 32:54.25 sidekqpodcast And we'll begin with the name first. So what is the name of ah the character we have today. 32:58.48 Jacob Prince Now we could go with random but I currently have him named as Joey Wheeler that will make sense later I promise that is a ugi reference. 33:08.60 sidekqpodcast I Was gonna say that okay I was going to say that's for I was for some reason I was getting a captain planet reference I think Wheeler is the name I think Wheeler is the name of the fire ring kid the American kid. 33:20.54 Jacob Prince Ah, Joey Wheeler the yes yes, yes so Joey that's right that oh my god. 33:27.71 sidekqpodcast Because I remember the russian would be like Wheeler you know she said it in a very slavic accent. Yeah. 33:38.17 Jacob Prince But I totally forgot about Wow that you just unlocked a childhood memory right? there. 33:43.50 sidekqpodcast Ah, that's that's my the public service that I provide for the internet at large. Okay, so so so Joey Wheeler is what you're working with right now. 33:53.97 Jacob Prince So at the moment. But if you want to play the character more serious and not have a joke name. You could absolutely just go with any old. Ah. 34:09.21 Jacob Prince Lo friendly dragonborn name I am not that attached to the name I it's just an indication of how Joey Wheeler looks and now is backstory plays out. 34:09.29 sidekqpodcast Oh okay, oh okay, okay. 34:23.60 sidekqpodcast I see okay, um, well did you? Okay so Joey Wheeler tentatively um but if you wanted to roll for something I mean that's just a d twenty roll and you could see what we get or if you you know feel inspired to call him something else then you can I suppose. 34:29.17 Jacob Prince Yeah. 34:41.50 Jacob Prince Let's pencil in Joey Wheeler and if by the end I want to roll for it. Let's roll for it. 34:44.67 sidekqpodcast Okay, deal. Okay, so then the next thing is what is the ancestry of the character. So I think you think you just name dropped it now but is that what we're sticking with as well you you did? yes. 34:56.32 Jacob Prince Oh did I say that he's a dragon board dang it. Yes, a black dragonborn specifically. 35:03.97 sidekqpodcast Okay, because what was because you're because in our 4 e game pegas was a blue dragonborn right. 35:13.60 Jacob Prince I I think I had I think he was a green think he was green because he had the acid breath weapon which is no longer acid in fifth edition. Green green is something else now I think yes. 35:15.22 sidekqpodcast I Feel like he was blue. 35:21.28 sidekqpodcast Oh. 35:27.41 sidekqpodcast Poison fish. 35:32.91 Jacob Prince Yes, but ah so funnily enough. Ah black Dragon boards get the acid breath weapons. So I'm back to my roots inadvertently I I chose black dragonborn just for the appearance. 35:39.36 sidekqpodcast Yes, there we go back to your roots. 35:48.79 sidekqpodcast So okay, all right? So black a black dragon born currently with the name Joey Wheeler okay okay, and then let's see how oh. 35:50.71 Jacob Prince And then I was like oh that's nostalgic I get my acid weapon back. 35:57.57 Jacob Prince That yep. 36:05.62 sidekqpodcast What is the job or role in society for this character I know in the in the game he's presented as a sorcerer. Um, but is that is that how we're going. So if we are going to place Joey Wheeler in our game in the background npc we see a black dragon born. Is he going to be a sorcerer just wondering the world or is he going to be something else and you want to roll a deep 10 and figure out what he could be doing and. 36:32.20 Jacob Prince Let's let's figure out what he's doing because as an Npc that makes a lot more sense if it's going to be a player character just you know generic adventurer but in Pc specifically let's roll. 36:39.86 sidekqpodcast Okay, yeah, so. 36:45.27 Jacob Prince But I do want him to still be a sorcerer I Just don't have a job plan for him. 36:48.84 sidekqpodcast Sure yeah, he could still be a sorcerer but like his you know he's still doing his normal thing that he's doing but then just realizes like oh I just happen to have sorcerer powers. Okay, um, so then that would be a role of a d 10 36:57.90 Jacob Prince Yeah. 37:04.86 Jacob Prince Sounds good. Oh what was I supposed to grab dice. Do I need my d 10 hang on on site I I think hang up I'm pretty sure I've got it on my desk here. 37:10.41 sidekqpodcast Oh yeah, if you need dice virtual or otherwise. 37:24.76 Jacob Prince If not I'll just use Google okay, my desk is a wreck right now I'm just gonna use Google to roll a d ten. okay okay okay I am rolling a d 10 right now on Google. 37:28.75 sidekqpodcast Okay. 37:42.13 Jacob Prince And I got a 2 37:43.51 sidekqpodcast 2 Okay, interesting. Ah, your answer was provided by your answer was provided by my dear sweet mother patreon supporter ah Pamela Cren Woy my mom fery hunter. 38:01.63 Jacob Prince Ah, okay, I'm down for that that sounds great I feel like that's appropriate for a sorcerer too. 38:04.25 sidekqpodcast Okay, so so far. Yeah, yeah, yeah, hunting fairies ah trying to get magical ah out and a spell components are just like trying to hunt for more magic I Guess maybe. 38:15.98 Jacob Prince Oh I should mention ah his sorcerer source is a draconic lineage. So at some point in the past. So you know the dragonborn lore right? like they were subjugated in the outer realms by Dragons That's why. 38:21.63 sidekqpodcast Okay, okay. 38:34.43 Jacob Prince They're draconic like they're from the draconic dimension or something like that and like they were slaves to dragons and you know the slave and master thing happens and that's where he gets his inherent magic from his. 38:38.52 sidekqpodcast Um. 38:48.47 sidekqpodcast Mm ok. 38:50.70 Jacob Prince Draconic Ancestors red So he's got red accents all over him and that's why. 38:54.60 sidekqpodcast Ooh So he's got like so black black and red ah scaling and stuff. 38:59.10 Jacob Prince Yes, exactly like so he's mostly black scaling piercing red eyes and then red accents all over his body because he's the red eyes black dragon hence the name Joey Wheeler 39:11.16 sidekqpodcast So mm oh and that's what the the oh and then yeah, the add the you g okay, all right now now we're getting the picture. Okay, and ah, okay, and so then the next thing. Ah, how old is Joey Wheeler 39:19.47 Jacob Prince Yep yep Yep yep. 39:27.69 Jacob Prince Roll for it I got whatever okay a d 8 comes out to a 6 39:29.15 sidekqpodcast Okay, that would be a D eight. 39:42.80 sidekqpodcast Elder so this is Joey Wheeler sometime down the line. Okay, and then ah as you were starting to allude to it now is the question of describe the physical appearance. So keep it in mind that now we know that Joey Wheeler 39:45.93 Jacob Prince Ah, unfortunate, Okay, okay, sounds good. 39:59.50 Jacob Prince Ah. 40:00.57 sidekqpodcast Is a black dragon born that is a sorcerer with a red Dragon heritage. So the the you know there's some of that in it but is a fairy hunter and is an elder go. 40:15.94 Jacob Prince Ah, ah so if he's an elder that means he's probably got chipped horns right? like he's seen some battles. He's fighting the fay constantly like he's gonna run into something that could probably chip one of his horns. Um I. 40:18.89 sidekqpodcast M. 40:31.20 Jacob Prince Basically my concept for this character is make him as close to the card Red Eyes Black dragon as you want, but just keep these red accents. You know in his older years. They're probably fading a little bit instead of being like pulsating right or something. Maybe they're more rust color accents. 40:36.90 sidekqpodcast M. 40:49.59 sidekqpodcast Um. 40:50.55 Jacob Prince And ah, he's a sorcerer so he even though you know dragonborn are six and a half feet tall or whatever he wouldn't be the stockiest one. He's he's more focused on his magic. He'll be more slim down compared to other dragonborns and. 41:03.85 sidekqpodcast Okay, okay. 41:08.31 Jacob Prince Dragonborns aren't supposed to have a tail but he's got the draconic heritage so he has 1 41:12.89 sidekqpodcast Oh interesting. Yeah and I think with fisbons and stuff like that they came out with um you know a similar Dragon bipedal but they have tails or something like that and I know there was and I know critical role. You know when ah with the. 41:26.53 Jacob Prince Um. 41:30.10 sidekqpodcast Yeah, they had a lore as far as like ah different dragonborns with or without tails too. So um, so yeah I guess it's long since's been debated in the hobby of like. 41:36.71 Jacob Prince Okay. 41:41.32 sidekqpodcast Do dragonborns actually have tails or don't so lots of people have ah have definitely wrestled with that question. It seems. 41:49.49 Jacob Prince I'm camp no tail personally but I think with a draconic heritage like this. It's not a stretch to say he could have a tail. 41:57.92 sidekqpodcast So now with the question of I know as you get higher levels in sorcerer with the draconic ancestry. You actually start you know I mean maybe it starts off with like additional scaling if you're like a different ancestry and you don't normally have scales and suddenly you start having scales. 42:14.39 Jacob Prince Ah. 42:16.75 Jacob Prince Right. 42:17.69 sidekqpodcast But I think they even have things of like tail or ah well tails like you were saying but then like wings. So does he have like wings or anything like that too is he that high of a level sorcerer or not right. 42:28.43 Jacob Prince Um, maybe but. 42:33.80 Jacob Prince I Mean we could roll for that I don't know I I mean so like if you want the the running gag of him being Red Eyes Black dragon to carry through wings would be appropriate. But um. 42:43.70 sidekqpodcast M. 42:50.22 Jacob Prince I don't know ah as an elder sorcer. He probably would have wings but he'd probably find a way to like polymorph them or hide them or something most of the time unless he's trying to intimidate somebody which is you know he's a sorcerer. He's a dragon born. They're very good at intimidating people. So. 42:58.22 sidekqpodcast Oh. 43:06.42 sidekqpodcast Okay, is there a reason why he wants to hide his wings all the time if that's the case are they just like under his cloak and stuff like that. 43:09.77 Jacob Prince At the very least he could fake having wings just so he doesn't stick out in a crowd. Yeah yeah, just so he's doesn't stick out in a crowd like people could mistake him for a monster at that point. 43:24.88 sidekqpodcast Yeah, good point. Yeah I could I could yeah he doesn't want that. Okay, all right fair enough. Um, let's see. Okay so we were we're we're getting this better physical picture of his description and stuff like that. But we always. 43:27.96 Jacob Prince Bright. 43:38.83 sidekqpodcast Think it narrows it down. Well if you can pick 3 adjectives so what 3 adjectives best describe this character. 43:47.41 Jacob Prince Ah. 43:56.15 Jacob Prince Gaunt tall imposing. Yes so he may be thin but he's still scary. 43:57.20 sidekqpodcast Interesting. Okay, okay. 44:06.33 sidekqpodcast Oh yeah, for sure you know he still got the sorcerer blood running through his veins for sure and okay and being a fairy hunter so he's constantly doing battle with the Faye. So he's got always got to be on his on his guard on his edge to be able to handle the foes. Okay. 44:22.69 Jacob Prince Ah. 44:24.85 sidekqpodcast Um, all right? So now we're continuing on with the questions back to some possible dice rolling. But what is a valuable item a piece of lore a secret or a or an ideal or concept that Joey Wheeler ascribes to is this something you want to roll for or do you have an idea. Of ah, you know some of these intangibles or sometimes material things that would be important to joy wheeler as a character. Okay, so then this is the combo of the D4 and then the d 6. 44:52.11 Jacob Prince Let's roll. 44:58.57 Jacob Prince D four and d 6 and roll ah two and a 4 45:03.37 sidekqpodcast Two and a 4 okay so 2 is a piece of lore and then four. Ah your answer was provided by our Patreon ah supporter Anson Jalinsky and this ah Joey Wheeler knows where to get the best hamburger in town. 45:24.22 Jacob Prince Hell yeah, that's awesome. 45:28.18 sidekqpodcast Yep, so what? Why is this so important for Joey Wheeler to have this deep lore to know where the best hamburger is in town like how is this going to help us right. 45:36.51 Jacob Prince Well after all long and stressful hunts possibly going to like just dealing with fay magic for an extended period of time when he gets back to the city. He just needs a good burger to decompress. 45:55.51 sidekqpodcast Um. 45:55.76 Jacob Prince He'd lose his mind if he couldn't just have this greasy mess in his hands. It just helps him relax at the end of a long hunt. 46:07.41 sidekqpodcast I was getting like wimpy vibes from Popeye it's like oh I gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger or something like that. 46:17.95 Jacob Prince Um, yeah I imagine he has trouble paying for it because I like a lot of the time people aren't paying you well to hunt the fay So like he's probably got to to. Ah. Make ends meet other ways. So Most of the time he's probably out eaten in the wild and when he can finally afford that this God Burger. Ah he savors every second of it. 46:42.81 sidekqpodcast There we go and then probably can let the players know when if they run across them be like hey you know where you can get a really good burger in town. Let me tell you all right there you go you heard it here so eating a hamburger makes your. 46:55.21 Jacob Prince Yeah, exactly that'll help your long rest better. Ah. 47:01.58 sidekqpodcast Long rest improved. Um and now let's see now we want all of our Npcs to be able to offer up cool side quest so what is going to be a particular quest that Joey Wheeler would be willing to recruit or hire player characters to go and do on his behalf again. If you're inspired or you have an idea you can tell us what that is if you want to roll the last dice which would be a d twelve. Ah you could do that as well. 47:28.20 Jacob Prince I Don't think we need to roll in this case just because he is a fay hunter so you can use that to start almost.. That's a hook for almost any adventure Hey Insert Ferry here is causing insert. Problem here at Insert location here I've been hunting this one for a really long time I need assistance at this point. 47:48.73 sidekqpodcast It's. 47:53.38 sidekqpodcast Yeah, and he's an elder so he can't quite get around as quickly as he once could mm. 48:02.47 Jacob Prince Um, yep I feel like it's very malleable. It almost writes itself and then like who knows he might whip out some ninth level magic while you're there just because he gets frustrated or something. 48:18.28 sidekqpodcast Okay, all right? So we're gonna use. Ah Joey Wheeler as a radiant side quest giver as far as like he's just constantly having to fight ferries or other fay creatures in this area and so if you need to dependable like hey we need to go deal with. A fay issue. Well then he's the one to go to to get those kinds of quests. Okay, and then as far as the reward for the side. Quest is concerned. Is it going to be kind of like. 48:42.81 Jacob Prince That's exactly right. 48:49.57 sidekqpodcast You know as we imagine video games like oh the radiant quest So this is like you get the same reward every time you go to him or is it going to be different depending on the actual creature that you're going up against. 49:01.95 Jacob Prince I Think it depends on the city. He's currently in it might be money. It might be a magical item that he's just got laying around that he doesn't have use for anymore or like anything in between because he's a sorcerer. He's going to collect odds and ends. 49:12.49 sidekqpodcast M. 49:18.53 sidekqpodcast Sure true. 49:21.74 Jacob Prince So if the players are like ah I don't really like I don't care for your gold old man. He's like well you know I got this little bobble here. Maybe you're more interested in that. 49:31.89 sidekqpodcast That's an iron stone. How did you get 1 of those. 49:36.55 Jacob Prince I've had it for 30 years what do you mean. 49:38.56 sidekqpodcast Good enough for me all right? Yeah, Okay, yes, that totally works. Okay, yeah, yeah, easy enough, easy enough and I like the variety of it and I thought you were gonna pull from your earlier question. It was like Oh. He's going to give them an item that like levels up with them as the party you know gains in levels or whatever I thought you were going to pull that but it was going to be like some sort of annoyance or something that they had to deal with in order for it to actually become pretty cool. 49:59.55 Jacob Prince Ah, ah so. 50:08.26 Jacob Prince That that that triggers too many red flags in my Dm brain for me to do something like that. 50:16.38 sidekqpodcast Fair enough we could just keep things simple and move on right. 50:17.96 Jacob Prince Like yeah yeah, yeah I mean so like don't get me wrong. He absolutely would have something like that in his collection. He's like I can't level this thing I just take it like I know it's got potential I don't know what to do with it here. What but like. 50:27.58 sidekqpodcast M. 50:36.79 Jacob Prince Would he? Yeah, he's a sorcer he would know he would know that this I don't use swords. But this thing I know has an enchantment that'll get stronger as somebody uses it take it so he that absolutely could be something in his collection that he's like. 50:50.17 sidekqpodcast Mm ok. 50:56.54 Jacob Prince Waiting for the right adventurer he feels like he's taking advantage of the adventurer but the adventure is like are you kidding me? you just tanded me like unlimited potential here and he's like ah but I didn't have to pay you money. But. 51:07.60 sidekqpodcast That was just my back scratcher and now it's your thing. Okay, cool and then but then we got to consider the opposite. What's going to be the consequence of failure or refusing the call to the adventure. 51:09.88 Jacob Prince Yeah, yeah, exactly exactly exactly. 51:25.27 sidekqpodcast Now understanding radiant quests. You know you can not do a radiant quest and it'll still be there for you to do but is there a difference as far as like refusing him outright if you're like negative to him or anything like that. 51:38.20 Jacob Prince If you make him too mad. You could probably get a race from reality like he's a powerful sorcerer. Let's just you make it mad enough. He will cast fireball he is resistant right? right. 51:51.76 sidekqpodcast Um, okay, so'll just get hostile. Okay. 51:57.30 Jacob Prince But I mean that's if you're just like aggressive to him. He's got good charisma. He's got the riz so like he could probably honestly talk the characters down before he gets angry. 52:05.30 sidekqpodcast Um. 52:11.98 sidekqpodcast Okay, but as far as like failure is concerned. It's just kind of like one of those like oh the fairies got away Darn Oh well I guess we just have to try again later or something like that. 52:24.59 Jacob Prince Exactly or he's like we sort of succeeded. They're far farther away from the town now. Okay, fine. Whatever I'm not giving you anything because you didn't actually do the job but okay because dealing with the fake can be hard. 52:37.59 sidekqpodcast And then if you continue to work with him. Yeah, true and so then if you continue to work with him then maybe that bond or whatever can be repaired. You can work to get into his good graces and stuff like that. 52:43.89 Jacob Prince Right. 52:49.89 Jacob Prince Exactly yeah like I don't think he would be that down bad for help all the time but like certain situations help be like oh they kind of sucked but like I need the body count all right, come on Guys. And then you succeed that Time. It's like okay all right? You guys are okay. 53:09.44 sidekqpodcast You whipper snappers are all right? Okay, um well I know we'd made it through to the end with the regular. 53:11.64 Jacob Prince Yeah, exactly exactly. 53:20.54 sidekqpodcast Ah, questions of it and I know you said oh maybe at the end we'll come back to the name are you are you sold on Joey Wheeler's the name or did you want to did you want to roll for something or try another name on for size. 53:33.63 Jacob Prince So I actually don't know dragonboard naming conventions. So I think a lower ah lower Accurate Dragon more name would suit him better. 53:39.15 sidekqpodcast Okay, so would you like me to like find some sort of dragonborn name generator. Okay, we will do that I know there's a website that I like to frequent probably a lot of you other people. 53:45.60 Jacob Prince Yeah, yeah for sure. Yeah, that sounds good. 53:55.63 sidekqpodcast Out there like to frequent as well. Fantasy Namegenerators dot Com So give credit where credit is due classic classic. Okay, and so we're looking for a male name. You'd say as opposed to a childhood name. Um, okay so. 53:59.37 Jacob Prince The classic that's old reliable. 54:08.13 Jacob Prince Oh yeah, right right. 54:14.27 sidekqpodcast I Know with the idea of like a a red Eyes Black Dragon. So if I'm trying to look at some of these names I usually give it a couple good clicks to get it nice and randomized then I can start looking through this list. Um I don't know is there like a particular letter that's like sticking out in the front of your mind that like. His name's got to start with this letter because I can see like a lot of K's D's G's S's f. 54:39.49 Jacob Prince I think I found one? Ah yeah cause I'm ah I'm on the generator as well. This this will work I'm gonna text it to you while I'm texting it to you I'm going to attempt to say it out loud. 54:42.90 sidekqpodcast Oh you found 1 54:54.20 sidekqpodcast You can also use the chat window feature of our podcast. 54:57.84 Jacob Prince Ah, oh oh fancy.

Okay I like the first one better. 56:32.25 sidekqpodcast Um, or this one below it that looks like also pretty easy. 56:43.47 Jacob Prince Because also you got the drag racks in it which is reminiscent of dragon so that works because you know he is orgid Dragax drag racks or or. 56:49.34 sidekqpodcast Mm or so or. 57:03.13 Jacob Prince Orgid drag racks. 57:06.19 sidekqpodcast Or drug or jug ah drug cracks. 57:12.31 Jacob Prince Dragrax Oh Drrax Drgras sounds way better. Yeah I like yeah. 57:16.66 sidekqpodcast Drres. Yeah so or Orgid Dragras is the name of this. Yeah you kind of it. It takes a little while to get the tongue ah to to say it without stumbling over yeah orgid. 57:22.68 Jacob Prince Yes, or or gijugras. 57:33.51 Jacob Prince Yeah. 57:35.24 sidekqpodcast Dragacs. Okay, all right? So that's the name of this ah black Dragon born with the red going in so the Red Eyes black dragon thing. 57:42.55 Jacob Prince Or if you like Meeme's Joey Wheeler yeah is that was this pseudonym when he was an elder who's like yeah Joey Wheeler don't you forget it. 57:48.22 sidekqpodcast That that was him in his younger days and he's um, he's a more mature elder dragonborn now. 58:00.94 Jacob Prince And then in his older years. He's like I'm going by my real name that's too exhausting. 58:07.83 sidekqpodcast All right? um and then were you interested in any in any of the optional questions or do you feel like this pretty well rounds out the character. 58:17.86 Jacob Prince Let's see I I think the optional questions aren't really necessary in this case just because I think. 58:24.90 sidekqpodcast Okay. 58:29.91 Jacob Prince He's malleable enough that you can make him fit in just about any situation without really breaking anything which you know that has the advantage of him starting off as a player character. So that's probably why. 58:34.23 sidekqpodcast Okay, okay. 58:42.40 sidekqpodcast Okay, perfect all right? Well we now are settled upon our Npc Ordrid Dragracs the fairy hunter that now I think it's time we head into a random encounter. 58:58.89 Jacob Prince Um, okay. 58:59.49 sidekqpodcast And this will be the part where I'll go back and post just because there's like a whole script for it and I didn't want to pull it up now and have it weighed up but Zencastr is actually sponsoring this segment. So ah I'll put in the ad here and give it enough time and then I'll do all my me. Ah. 59:04.70 Jacob Prince Oh okay. 59:18.18 sidekqpodcast Magical editing tricks and all that stuff it'll it'll look and maybe not look but it'll sound good and all that good stuff. So all right? So then this segment of course you remember is the random encounter where we do the roleplay vignette scenario with the Npc we've made here today. So with ordrid. 59:21.28 Jacob Prince Um, oh nice. 59:37.70 sidekqpodcast Dragrax the fairy hunter the elder black dragon born and all um, what kind of scene are you interested in portraying him in today. Is it going to be him encountering one of the podcast adventuring characters. Is it going to be. Um, you know something from his past we're doing a bit of a flashback or um I don't know. Maybe you're going to take us through kind of a vignette with him in some of the balders gate 3 action I don't know what what kind of scene? are you interested in portraying him in today. 01:00:09.11 Jacob Prince I Want to see him with a podcast character. 01:00:12.95 sidekqpodcast Okay, well since the last time. Ah, you've been on the show we have like this whole ah Multiverse growing Maybe not multiverse. But ah we have an Mcu level ah Heroes gallery coming into play now at this point So the characters we have. 01:00:21.89 Jacob Prince Whoa. 01:00:27.51 Jacob Prince Okay. 01:00:29.90 sidekqpodcast To choose from of course Duncan the recklessly brave happy. Go lucky adventurer for hire we have Sonia the warrior woman who started off as a barbarian multiclassed into a paladin we have Koak the lawful evil arcane trickster roguish dwarf. We've got chrisly the herbalist botanist woodef druid who then multiclassed into a cleric who serves living memory. We have oion who is the astral elf allusionist wizard and then we've got. 01:01:05.29 sidekqpodcast A Gape who is the lilac colored tiflling. Ah Wild Magic sorcerer who just multiclassed into a Archbay ah warlock pact and then if none of those characters sound reasonable today. Um, then we can definitely make up someone else. That's brand new and introduce them into the roster. 01:01:28.29 Jacob Prince Sorry that last one did you say Arch fay warlock pact. 01:01:33.73 sidekqpodcast Yes I did yes I Gotpe has been on ah a bit of a ah streak as of late with being in more of the random encounter segments for sure. 01:01:44.10 Jacob Prince If ah if you want to start drama in this random encounter I bet he could sniff out the fay pact in her. 01:01:51.33 sidekqpodcast Okay, you so you would like for ordridge or grax to meet. Ah ah, a got pay then okay um, would you like to set the scene or should I set the scene. 01:01:56.81 Jacob Prince Yeah. 01:02:05.36 Jacob Prince Ah, you definitely set the scene. 01:02:07.23 sidekqpodcast Okay, where we last left our Hero a Gotpe ah she was helping out ah our hero. Ah where we last left our hero a gape she was helping out with a family dispute. A pair of siblings that were working against the wishes of her mother and of course you remember all the editing I had to do for the episode because ah that particular Npc's name was long. 01:02:41.50 Jacob Prince Oh. 01:02:41.75 sidekqpodcast Which was a gargling noise and so after that adventure she was able to peacefully resolve the situation and she got all of her stuff back and she's now getting out and about on the road and she's like okay I'm ready to get back into civilization I know that prosperina. Is waiting in the in the in the civilization waiting for me to come back. Um, it's this burgeoning town that has like a growing industrial type steampunky arcane section that's encroaching on nature and so her arch fay that she works with. Of course is very interested in the growth and progression of this town and is trying to help steer the town and the society in the right direction but is having to constantly butt heads against um, you know the majoroccracy if you will and stuff like that. So she's heading down the road. She's gonna get her way back. Um, because even before this she got magically transported to the realm of the 5 aspects of fate. So she's had like this whole ordeal of of stuff to ah to get handled. So um, so if she's traveling on the road where is she gonna most likely encounter Orgid Dr. Drags. And this circumstance. 01:04:01.65 Jacob Prince Ah, he's probably walking. The opposite direction is her and would sense fay magic radiating from her just passively like. 01:04:03.74 sidekqpodcast Okay. 01:04:15.25 Jacob Prince They're they're trying to go their opposite ways but he is not going to he he would as a fairy hunter detect fay magic like it's Nothing. He's a seasoned sorcerer and he would probably try to stop her. He. Like in his head. He's like no I need to let it go I got somewhere to be anything but this and then you know he's just gonna have that tingling in the back of his head and he's like Nope I got a stopper turn around Miss. What? what? it. 01:04:43.89 sidekqpodcast Yeah Agapi will stop and turn around what. 01:04:50.93 Jacob Prince What did you do. 01:04:51.13 sidekqpodcast What do you? What do you mean? what do that I do I just and then she starts going into this whole story like she's going like a mile a minute and she's just explaining I just had to deal with this whole thing I didn't have my equipment I had to go deal with these 2 siblings and the rivalry. And she's like unloading all this stuff suddenly on this random passerby who just stopped her. The. 01:05:13.62 Jacob Prince He's just gonna look like bewildered at her like okay but why do you wreak a fay magic. 01:05:20.84 sidekqpodcast And then she'll stop and she'll be like oh well? Um, well because I was born with a wild magical influence in my blood and then I met prosperina she's my arch fay. Pact you know she's well I guess I'm not very good with the organization yet because I really shouldn't be going around saying who my archfey is and all that stuff. But maybe she'll forgive me I've been discombobulated because I was with her and then I got transported to the realm of the fates and I had to do like this whole big trial in combat with them. Ah, but then you'll see she does like a flourish of like wild sorcerer magic in 1 hand but then she does her other hand and then she gets like that arch fay warlock pack magic going and she's like I used to be so worried about all the chaos in my life and then I got a little bit of an order and now with the fates and. How it's like I can balance between the two I can embrace the chaos and wield it you know and not let it overwhelm me but at the same time you know I can you know I can deal with the the archfae and all this so she feels comfortable in herself now. She's kind of got like the best of both worlds to be able to just you know be this tool of of. Organized chaos and ah and of the fay wild and and stuff like that. 01:06:39.95 Jacob Prince Okay, and he's gonna hear all of that and just like he'll have be thinking like you know the fair Tricksters. He's not going to say any of this out Loud. He's the fair tricksters I think you are making mistake by embracing a pact like this. He's thinking all of this and just say interesting and then probably try to deceive her would you like company. 01:07:06.84 sidekqpodcast Oh Oh um, well I mean sure like it like I said I was just heading back to the City I was gonna go check in with my organization and then and then yeah then see you see what else there is to to do in town. Yeah to to help out because. You know town's growing and got to make sure it's you know, not being irresponsible and stuff like that. 01:07:32.95 Jacob Prince And then he's gonna do some draconic magic. He's like you know I think we could probably teach each other a thing or 2 and you know maybe conjure a little fireball in his hands snap it out and like ah but. 01:07:38.77 sidekqpodcast Or so. 01:07:50.10 Jacob Prince He'll be deceiving her. He wants to take her patron out. But yeah, so he's going to try to get as close to her as possible help her every step of the way on her journey. He has no Ill will with her. She seems like a very good person but he needs to. 01:07:51.25 sidekqpodcast M. 01:08:09.37 Jacob Prince Get to the bottom of why such a pure person made what is but possibly potentially a raw deal with a fay That's his primary concern. 01:08:17.61 sidekqpodcast Um, oh interesting. Okay, so maybe because of you know like I said yeah, she's been through a whole lot. She just she got transported to another universe to deal with the fates and then she just had to deal this side adventure with. 01:08:31.73 Jacob Prince I have. 01:08:34.53 sidekqpodcast Gargle And and her daughters. So Yeah I think she probably is not in the best mind um to just you know like withhold you know, sensitive information and she's desperate to just get back to her group and ah, you know and and and ah. And recuperateating stuff like that and so seeing you know the the invitation. Ah for company on the road. She'll she'll take it and then you know she you know and she does her best to like explain you know her situation that like you know I'm not being taken advantage of and stuff like that. It's just like you know, less. 01:09:09.29 Jacob Prince In 1 ear out the other that's he is not taking any of that in. 01:09:12.57 sidekqpodcast Okay, so then I think the scene finishes playing out as like you know she's trying to present this this viewpoint or at least explain how it works for her and stuff like this and you know like you were saying like he's listening attentively. Putting on the appearance and maybe she can't quite pick that up quite yet. But meanwhile he's got plans and schmings that he's got going on Oo and seen yeah I think we're going to call it at that I think that's too Juicy. We'll off to. 01:09:34.17 Jacob Prince Right. Exactly. 01:09:47.51 sidekqpodcast Hopefully next random encounter she shows up in you know, maybe some plot armor is going to have to to have to save the day but we'll see we'll see we'll we'll see what the audience demands. 01:09:58.35 Jacob Prince Ah, yeah I Hope it doesn't go too badly for her. She definitely sounds like she's been through the ringer a few times and hey maybe if she's good enough. She can finally change his mind. But. 01:10:01.58 sidekqpodcast Yeah, for sure. So yeah. 01:10:11.00 sidekqpodcast Mm. 01:10:12.64 Jacob Prince Ah, he is a stubborn old man so that remains to be seen. 01:10:14.34 sidekqpodcast Yeah, yeah for sure. Yeah, that would definitely be very interesting to see like ah ah, orgid dragacts and ah Prosperina the arch fay kind of get into a duel and see how that turned out that would be very meta I suppose. 01:10:31.34 Jacob Prince Yeah. 01:10:32.99 sidekqpodcast Ah, yeah, yeah, so we made it through the ran of Encounters. So I know we kind of like you know you had a template of how you were going to build the character and the dice rules kind of helped us and inform the character and as you said made it really easy for this Npc to kind of be very plug and play as far as anyone's game is concerned. But yeah. You know, did you feel like you got a good opportunity to kind of really explore the maybe not all the facets of the character but at least to get like a good snapshot of who this character is. 01:11:05.11 Jacob Prince Honestly that that scene sold me on what we ended up rolling like I was hesitant at first but rolled with the punches. Yeah I love it I think that turned out fantastic. 01:11:18.70 sidekqpodcast Okay, good well as long as you're having fun that I'm having fun. So hopefully all the ah the npcs in our ah random encounter section make it through unscay. That's what we hope. But if the story calls for. Retirement of a character is as sad as that may make me you know if that's what the dice would say then that's what the dice would say so we'll see what happens next time. So awesome. Yeah, so we've made it here to the the end of the show we're in the final thoughts section. So how do you think it's been now. Um. You know years now because you were you were a season 1 guest ah or no, no, no actually you're the start of season 2 so now you're here. We're here at the tail end of yeah yeah, you were the season premiere of season 2 that was also in the weird time of like. 01:12:02.22 Jacob Prince Oh I didn't know as a season premiere. 01:12:12.26 sidekqpodcast Of moving and ah and a baby and in you know, extenuating circumstances where I was delayed in my output of episodes and so it's backd dated as to when it properly you would have gone out. But yeah, you were so you were the season two premiere and now we're here at the end of. 01:12:28.57 Jacob Prince Ah. 01:12:29.67 sidekqpodcast We're starting to get to the tail end of season 4 so in between then and now how do you think? um, you know how do you think? everything's been and you know your time on the show tonight and all that sort of kind of stuff. 01:12:31.89 Jacob Prince Awesome. 01:12:43.77 Jacob Prince I Feel like I was more prepared this time than last time. Ah. 01:12:45.60 sidekqpodcast Now that there's a solid brand behind this idea. 01:12:52.88 Jacob Prince Well I think both of us like you've grown as a podcaster as a whole and I think I've taken storytelling a little more seriously over the last three years so um 01:13:03.88 sidekqpodcast M. 01:13:08.87 Jacob Prince Cause my last character was kind of a joke like yeah, played up the comedic parts of him a lot more. But um, yeah I I don't know I just feel like the baseline for this guy was a lot more solid than what I came up with last time and I feel like I had better answers just. 01:13:14.74 sidekqpodcast Um. 01:13:25.79 sidekqpodcast Degan harts. 01:13:28.22 Jacob Prince Yeah, oh I remember him that that was such a fun character to play I don't know if he translates wells in Npc Man I had a lot of fun playing that monk. 01:13:36.84 sidekqpodcast Yes, the wandering the wandering monk along the road and then I think actually he met Duncan if I remember the rain of encounter correctly, he met Duncan because he ate the enchanted honey that he had gotten as a reward from helping out noodle. 01:13:46.38 Jacob Prince Fall. 01:13:56.60 sidekqpodcast The Beekeeper. Yeah so good because I remember is voracious appetite and so he was like oh you have some honey that you can have and he just like ate the whole thing and and he was like oh okay I guess you really were hungry. So. 01:13:56.66 Jacob Prince Okay. 01:14:03.12 Jacob Prince Ah, yeah, ah. 01:14:11.87 Jacob Prince Yes, beautiful. Absolutely. 01:14:14.27 sidekqpodcast Good times. Yeah, that yeah, you have to go back and listen I know might might take a little bit of a break with uploading some stuff to Youtube but before you know it you know season 2 season 3 and even the beginning parts of season 4 will now be. Ah, slowly getting archived up on our Youtube channel. So if you don't like I hope you like listening to podcasts. But if you don't then you can always listen to it on Youtube I guess you know, maybe easier to share it with your friends and family and stuff like that. So. 01:14:44.79 Jacob Prince It's easier for me because I have Youtube premium and I can play Youtube videos with my phone locked. So that's the way I kill time at work is podcast. So I'll definitely hit up the archive on Youtube. 01:14:58.76 sidekqpodcast There We go? Yeah solid endorsement there. We go. So um, yeah, So just you know any other final thoughts you have as we're starting to to end.

You know where can people find you online if you want to be found where can we check out this new VTubin channel with all the the video games in the balders gate and whatever else and if there's any passions or causes that we need to be made aware of and stuff. 01:15:25.37 Jacob Prince sure sure so I can be found everywhere I actually have social media at a plug this time because I remember I didn't last so so I could be found everywhere at. B e a uxphades and then sometimes I add the Vt for v tuber at the end but at be faties most places the x is there because I like to add cagen seasoning to how I spell my name. 01:16:03.80 sidekqpodcast Um. 01:16:05.56 Jacob Prince But if and if it's not bo faes.
