Mostly actual play from online tabletop games, played on Roll20. Also random other stuff.

Sometimes, the story tells you it wants to be something else.
Timefoolery finds us once again.

See the thing is, I called episode six "Crystal Snails", and then I got Vulfmon's Disco Snails stuck in my head, and then this happened. I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry if you've never heard of Disco Snails.
I'm sorry if you HAVE heard of Disco Snails.
Mostly, I'm sorry to Vulfmon.

Inside every snail shell is a tiny glowing gastropod
Precursors might be dead, or fled: transcended into spacey gods
But here they left behind these shiny slimy buggy bodies
These super freaky guards will slime and kill you as a hobby

Crystal snails, they’re on the walls and closing in on you with glowing trails
Their slime is poison that will make your nervous system FLAIL
They crawl into your suit and lick your face until you fail
To breathe! Because you cannot fight these snails

[Chorus]
Crystal what?
Crystal snails, they'rе leaving deadly trails
Crystal wherе?
Current position's in your engine
Crystal how?
They're on your ship, they've got the Drip
Crystal why?
They’re not ill-willers, they’re just killers.

There's bodies in the airlock, for the snails are on the loose
Watch your step, they're only one inch tall and they crawl right at you
They've synthesize deadly toxins up in their buggy bodies
This downright funkadelic bunch have come to start the party (P-p-p-party)

Crystal snails, they’re on the walls and closing in on you with glowing trails
Their slime is poison that will make your nervous system FLAIL
They crawl into your suit and lick your face until you fail
To breathe! Because you cannot fight these snails

[Chorus]
Crystal what?
Crystal snails, they'rе leaving deadly trails
Crystal wherе?
Current position's in your engine
Crystal how?
They're on your ship, they've got the Drip
Crystal why?
They’re not ill-willers, they’re just killers.

[Chorus]
Crystal what?
Crystal snails, they'rе leaving deadly trails
Crystal wherе?
Their location? In your station
Crystal how?
They're on your ship, they've got the Drip
Crystal why?
They’re not ill-willers, they’re just killers.
(With apologies to Vulfmon.)

Tinker and Quin engage in a time-honored spacer tradition (drinking and conspiracy theories) followed by another time-honored ironsworn tradition (fighting for your life).

We meet Quintin's daughter, and then head out on our main mission. Both of these go exactly as we expected, as usual.

Music by Kevin MacLeod. Intro by kleber-kgf.
This game, man... this game....

A few notes: the audio is still uneven. I tried a few things, but I need to try a few more. Stay with us and I'll get it sorted, I promise.

Kiri's symbiote saves him... from something, or for something?
Quinn pulls on the strings trailing from everyone on Providence Station.

2026 02 03
The Ironsworn - Tolari and Quinn are wrapped up in the spectacular mundanities of everyday survival in the Oasis sector.

(Tim is quickly figuring out the system, while Doyce forgets he has an asset 30 seconds after mentioning it, so everything is going as expected.)
