Nat 20 and Unwind: "The Pyreheart Accord Fallout"

After the Pyreheart Accord arc ends, Nat 20 shifts into a lighter breakdown of the chaos that unfolded. The cast steps back from the tension to talk through the decisions, the betrayal, and the fallout in a casual format. They share highlights, favorite moments, and the choices that shaped the story. This episode gives space to breathe after a heavy arc and helps the audience understand where the team stands before the next chapter begins.

0:01 Yeah, that'd be really bad. Honestly. I just got back. Please, it's not another one of you. Bite the fucking dust, please. Hello hi, welcome to net 20 and unwind here on Spotify and Facebook. OK so I have a feeling I'm about to be single. I hate. We already talked about it, Nelson. I hate. You. I really actually might hate you right now. I love you, but I hate you. That was so good. Though you can't eat them that much. Oh my God. Yeah. So before we go any further, I I have to commend you all. That was quite literally the best episode of the show that we've done so far. Well, the role play, like even people that aren't like the heavy role players, right, or, or, or haven't been like everyone stepped up game tonight and it was crazy cool to be a part of.

0:52 Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And, and I'm excited because you guys don't know it quite yet, but this is the start of the actual campaign that I had in mind for this show. Oh my God, are you kidding? Me, yeah. We killed a guy in the pre log. Yeah, Jesus, guys. I'm going to have the prom, so like, yeah. So please do it on Sundays in the morning. Nope.

1:34 Nope. So you don't want to, you don't want, you don't want a game with me before I've had my coffee in the morning. OK, we'll start it well. 4:30 AM. I would be I would be on The Walking pad, usually with music bumping and that rattles the floors. But all right, let's talk about it. Castilla, What's what's going through your head right now? What's going on? What's going through your head right now? I'm wondering if my DM wants to be single or if this is just the violence he's chosen. I woke up on the violent side of the bed. Yeah, honestly, I I want to elicit the best response from your character and especially from you. And you've tonight fucking nailed it when you and I'll see. So we're having that scene right at the end. I legitimately was just sitting here like tearing up. It's the first time I've teared up in this in this, this this podcast.

2:47 And honestly, Patty, to you, you guys were amazing during that scene. No kidding. Good God, This is why I love playing with a mix of I don't want this to sound hurtful, but amateur players versus people that have been playing for years and years and years is. They both shine in their own different way and. To see their development. Because when you're like newbie ish, you go from being newbie to being like, oh, I'm really excited about this. And it shows in in how you play your character. Exactly. I I decided to go on the other side, like last minute.

3:31 It was on the fly, yeah. It seemed like much of the rest of the party could have gone that way also. Yeah, yeah. Oh, Savara, absolutely. Like walking into that, I didn't exactly know where Savara was going to go. It depended on what Nero said because she didn't necessarily have any strong like motivations to stay with the the syndicate. And it also meant if she went back to the syndicate, it meant a failure. And she has some pretty deep rooted like problems with failure. So it it was, it was completely up in the air on how Neros approached that I think with.

4:21 I think with Ogeman, the only strong root that he had was Neros, so he's just like. Yeah, I gotta go with my bro. Yeah, I got, I got, you know, sorry guys, 'cause I just having fun it's. How? Old are your. Memories. So like. All the. Motive was. Just a heads up, as you might have already guessed, Mimi is going to be a lot more of a wild card. Good. I'm excited because a good character development, you know, it's. It's. So awesome to see all of your. I mean.

5:04 I think. Normally Mimi would let Mimi would hear her out, but she was like now fuck this shit, I'm slitting your throat. I would like to just apologize for the whole person thing that everybody got but. Everybody got but. Mostly just. Me my bad. But hiding, she's on a war rampage now. And now it's just gotten worse. It's just going to get worse. It's good luck. Honestly. Yeah, character development. Yep. I'm a 5 or a four foot 5 firecracker is when I'm gonna be in about 5 seconds.

5:47 I really. I really want you Spencer to like play on the the and pull out Derna. Honest to God, if you start having some of that like involved in like manipulation from Nero's that wolf. Yeah, yeah. And that's, you know, not putting the cart before the horse, but that's honestly right now on my computer, I have everyone that's given me a character. The the originally when we started this show and this was before, I think Jean, Jesse, Patty and Archie and McKenna all joined us. So I got to get you guys to fill this out yet. I, I sent them a just like a, a Google form with just different questions, like mundane questions you wouldn't think would have anything to do with anything.

6:41 And this was honestly, you know, half the cast that was originally on this, this character question sheet are are not on the cast anymore. It's, it's all you guys now. And this was a lot I forgot. That. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I never. I haven't sent it to you yet. So I really think it was only Bob Ivy and I that got it and. Yep. Yeah, and. Might as well fill it out as miros or glaive or both. I'm going to at this point because of Neros turn, I'm just going to have you photos Glaive. Same thing with Eugene Gene. Actually, I might have.

7:21 Still has the opportunity to dip backstab neros if it kind of called for it kind of thing. Yeah, but there were just like standard questions. You know that. Didn't necessarily. Have anything to do with anything but I I have Katie's up, I have Kenzie's up. I have. I have. I have blot twist, yeah. Blot Twist. Pokémon just wants to piss on Neros. Some weird cake thing. Just wants to piss on neros to. Be fair, Okemon just wants to piss on everyone so right? Just his eye sockets, that's it. Fill him with liquid. God. Like a bowl of. Cereal. While doing shocking grasp, Yeah, yeah. So I'll get that sent out to all you guys tonight that have no idea yet or haven't seen it yet.

8:08 I'll get that sent out to you guys right after we're done recording tonight. I'm just so you can get that well filled out but. So am I going to have to do 2 of those for I'll? Have you fill out too just because? Also, Mimi is now the party cook. I'm cooking it up. I'm chefing it up. You guys won't know what's in my mystery meat. You guys will eat it. Yummy. I mean, I feel like I've been. On board for that as like the Taverns, like yes, we need someone in the kitchen. Please cook. Not good food. Not asking questions. Yep. I got you guys I'd. Love it. The missing person posted on the wall. Don't worry about it.

8:49 Don't worry about. It as long as there's alcohol involved, I will eat whatever. We're good. We're good. All right, before we sign off Zebulon, let's revisit your bar real quick. Yep, we'll start with the same question as always. Would you like to purchase any of the? We'll start with the just the normal that we always start with. You want to buy the maintenance, insurance, extra security, extra service. My hope was to do a beer festival upon return.

9:33 Is that part of this or would that be a separate thing? That'll be a separate thing. You and I will. Let's see here. Even though they failed, was there any compensation for the Pyre Hart accord for everyone else? Obviously not glaive. I mean technically like, like people died. Yeah. These ones didn't, and they want gold. Well, unfortunately, Zebulon Ogeman's not there anymore to help you with funds.

10:13 Yeah, it sounds like I've got a new patron though. Perhaps. So to answer Zebulon's question first, we will say that within the 24 hour or the 48 hours between you guys coming home and the syndicate meeting occurring that you would have taken the day of downtime to prepare for the beer festival. Give me, give me. Roll me 6D6. Oh here one SEC. I've got 66 in my office in another room, but also, yeah, we're going all out. I think as of last session I had heard of a new vintage of wine that was popular, so I got a big bonus to the results table. What was that bonus do you remember? I think it was 20.

11:10 I guess the sheet I'm looking at doesn't have it the number written down. Let me look at the Tavern events real quick and see if I can remember what it was. Yep, New Vintage of wine proves very popular with the with the locals. Gain a + 20 bonus on your next roll. So yeah, you'll add 20 to whatever you roll on the D100. So which is what you want to do first? Let's do well, let's do the beer festival first, because whatever you roll with 66 will be added to your D100 roll as well. All right, do these have exploding dice or no? These do not. Probably not, no. And am I adding them all up or just like telling you each? One add them all up.

11:53 Yep. One moment, don't say C That can't be right. But that's a six, and it's poorly printed 25. 25 All right, so we will add 45 to your D100 roll. So go ahead and roll for me. What's that number that I have for you for the? Valuation is 20. 323 OK, cool, go ahead and.

12:33 You just say, what's that number? That number you're talking about, All right, give me AD 100. Right, we got 81. 81 plus what did we say 40? 40 something. 4545 yeah. So that would be 126. So I'm doing. Very successful beer festival. Very 8/14/18. Everyone drowns their sorrows in the best wine around. 28 So, so with your business this time, this go around, you will earn 5 D 10 * 7 gold pieces, which which results in 196 gold.

13:41 And then go ahead and give me another D100 on the Tavern defense table. We'll see what occurs during this 10 day. 65. 65 One evening a patron has an allergic reaction to what a new mutton Stew that you have prepared and dies. This doesn't mean business is depressing, so you will take a -15 penalty to your next role on the business results table. I told him might be a little bit too spicy. He didn't heed my warning.

14:21 I told him it was spicy, I told. Him. OK, we signed up for this, I guess. We've caught the. Business we'll cover for you, but like, know your audience, please next. Time next time, right? Yeah, Yeah. Yeah, whatever, whatever. OK, I'm a go look for Brookie. I'll be back. New since since he died, Mimi has something new to cook. Oh yeah, I'm about to make the most busting Swedish meatballs you've ever tasted. And they will be some. Sweeney, Tots. Yeah, say they'd be made from real sweets. Some meat pie. Mrs. Lovett's meat.

15:03 Meat pies? Hell yes. That's exactly where my inspiration came. From for me, I'm good So Oh no, before we sign off today, I just need to say it one more time to all of you. I'm insanely proud of this episode in general, but how much you guys have grown in the last what, four months that we've been doing this tonight with I think is not only the end of the I guess we'll say trial period of this show. It's now the beginning of what I want this endeavor, this passion project of mine to be. So again, I am so proud of you guys. So with that being said, we're going to sign off for today. You guys have earned a nice night to yourselves for the rest of the night, so we are going to sign off here from Nat 20 and unwind.
