Short Rest: Trinyvale - Ep. 10: Pirate Panic

FMAB the best anime. It really encapsulates the best things about anime

A little thing that bothers me relistening to whenever they say old ranger subclases are underpowered, theyre not. Beast master needed a buff sure but base ranger abilities are comparable to fighter and rogue stuff and the hunter subclass is consistanly a strong attacker. Gloom stalker damage wise is only goof first round so if anything survives past that it adds nothing damage wise (obs it has some passives that are good too)

There’s so much foreshadowing in this short rest, Sol, Fia, and Aux

Astral self monk you say Caldwell 🫣

LAMBRUSCO MENTION 🎉

I am just now listening to the Trinyvale episodes to catch up for the recent ones and I gotta know if there was ever any kitten updates?? Did y'all ever get Stevie's kittens to your back yard?

I'm living for Emily wanting to play a good aligned necromancer. My first character started off as a cleric but ended up multiclassing into necromancer and running with it. She's chaotic good aligned 🥰

liam <3

It's funny to hear them talk about how hard it is to play a villain just as were getting into the back half of Trinyvale

I don't know why it tickled me so much to hear the reference to The General by Dispatch, but that prompted me to go to Patreon (was listening from my podcast app) and find this post just so I could comment on it. "Roll to see if he's seen the others" made me laugh my ass off.

Love hearing the beginnings of sol and fia in this

A dark and stormy with whiskey is a Kentucky mule. Any drink with a spirit/lime/ginger is a mule. With Vodka=Moscow mule. With tequila=Mexican Mule.

I love listening to this knowing what campaign Murph and Emily are talking about, and truly how good the gloomstalker was.

so did episodes 11,12, 13 not have short rests?

Onyx is sparkling rose sangria. A barrel-aged, thick, dry red wine mixed with a flirty, light, bubbly, white for the rose. Then sub a fresh, bitey whiskey instead of a rum. Add loads of chopped berries and let it all stew for a week in the fridge. Then pour into a glass rimmed with sugar crystals and garnish with a stick of rock candy and a skewer of fresh tropical fruit. Gens is a elderberry, mojito with flaming bay leaves on top. Clear, vanilla-flavored rum + green sugar cubes + mint leaves + elderberries muddled and poured over dry ice. Top with three bay leaves dipped in Everclear and set in fire. Nyak is a fishbowl drink. Malibu coconut rum (gag), UV vodka shots in cake batter, bubblegum, blue raspberry, grape, and pink lemonade, then a can of sprite and a can of mountain dew. Fill a fishbowl and garnish with strawberry jelly rim and blueberry jelly ice cubes as well as a rubber ducky toy on top.

Fuck, yeah FMA Brotherhood!

My favorite thing about the short rests is hearing all the references to the less mainstream bands I like lmao. Ra Ra Riot and Dispatch? Yes please

I must be 3 years younger than Caldwell because FLCL changed all my thinking at 11.

I've played an evil campaign before. I was a dragonborn, son of a warlord hell bent on ruling the country. So my job was to go around and kill the rulers of the other nations and expand my fathers territory.

Jake needs to watch some Hong Kong cinema to get a fighting idea of monks. Fearless with Jet Li would be a good start.

Unearthed arcana ranger is the only ranger I would recommend besides gloomstalker

they shroud do a mixed bag/one shot as gifwhatevers.

I think part 4 is heavily influential for Trinyvale!

Emily, I built a super rad necromancer using the Divine Sorcerer in Xanathars. Getting to use both cleric and sorcerer spell lists and metamagic really made her awesome. I also reflavored all of the “spiritual” spells from the cleric list to be ghostly skeletons.

You should get a GoFundMe page going to get the kittens spade/ neutered

Jake, take a look into the Revised Ranger from Unearthed Arcana! If you’re using the original one in the PHB, it is pretty underwhelming. Revised fixes a lot of the issues, and when coupled with some of the new subclasses, it does a ton of damage! My DM refers to the revision as “divorced kid’s Christmas” and it is exactly that. XD

FLCL is my ABSOLUTE JAM and I cheered in my car when Caldwell mentioned it

Onyx's drink should be a French 75! It references her French accent and has sparkling wine in it. Green Issac might be a hit for Nyack!

Naritto is my favourite anime too Jake!

I'm going to need Murph/Emily to create a Instagram to keep us updated on that cat/kitten news. Might help with adopting them out during the foster process

Also, Emily, Listen to Guest Room by Echo. Very similar feel to Open by Rhye.

Now I'm all excited about pictures of kitties!!

Honestly, if you created a tier that has a live stream of the kittens and possums I would watch.

Brotherhood and jojos are awesome

I have two tattoos on my body. Both are from FLCL

How is Jenz not a gin n’ tonic. Or a jenz n tonic!

It's too bad they didn't get my question about the background combat music! However, I worry not - did Stormlight Archive not teach me that it is not the destination, but the very journey, that matters most? Lol jk, this was a great episode!

Has downloading been disabled?

How has Caldwell not seen Naruto? Oh man, we have got to get him and Jake to watch Naruto for a mixed bag. I'm like Emily, i'm a casual anime fan: Naruto, Cowboy Bebop, and Yu Yu Hakusho

Emily, I think you'd really like My Roommate is a Cat. It's such a cute anime about a guy who adopts a kitten. Every episode is told first from his point of view then from the cat's.

Jack right off the bat asking the right questions

Misses opportunity Caldwell to say that evangelion had a 3rd impact on your life

Make sure you tnr (trap and release) Stevie!! She’ll keep having babies if you don’t. Your vet should be able to do it, if not you can google places near you who fix strays and then you can release her back outside.

I love hearing about what you guys are reading - do you think you guys would ever start up some public goodreads accounts or maybe a recommendations newsletter??

@Emily+Murph Also there is what sounds like a kitten meow at 50:40 in the sode

You guys should play Skyrim type tavern music during the short rest

Caldwell and I basically had the same anime awakening with FLCL on Adult Swim and FMA lol I think there should be an anime podcast one-off/spinoff at some point...

Need Caldwell to play an Astral Monk in his next campaign and flavour it as a Stand user

I will adopt a kitten.

Thanks for reading my trinivale cocktail Question Dunckle! Totally made me smile hearing you all actually answer it😂

You could do a full week like going to NADDPOD camp or a 5 day NADDPOD cruise!

In my current campaign that I DM one of our players is an Eldritch Knight Fighter that we homebrewed in a mechanic where he could occasionally learn some necromancy spells due to the nature of his character. And since they already learn spells it's not too difficult to balance it out a bit

Spellcasters are great!! I have a level 14 wizard and you can restock your spells and prepate different ones each long rest. You can learn two spells per level for free iirc. And then if your dm is nice, they can have spells just sitting around in the world for you to find and put in your book. At level 14 I have something like 40 spells in my book! Its great!

Speaking of evil characters, I once played a super racist Dwarf who was I think lawful neutral. She thought she was good bbbut her ignorance prevented her from seeing what was wrong about it. Playing that side of her was really difficult! I kept above game apologising. I wanted her to learn and grow past it but never got the chance as the campaign fell through. I'd like to return to something like that, playing a character that in real life, I'd disagree with, just to understand the other side. And fro work on my acting/improv, too. 🙂

Nayak is a scramble man! 😍
