>Lost At Sea Ep. 8, Finale (RoyalCaster)
As they walk through the shadowy portal, they walk out into a twisted facsimile of reality. All around them is a reflective dark mirror, and the stench of rot flows through the room. They move down the maw of what seems like a giant snake which turns out to be a stairway leading down. As they head down, Goker approaches a statue of what seems to be of the ancient Alminax race of time past and within its jaw is a chest. They send Coots in as he’s the smallest of the group. Once he enters the mouth, it begins to close. Goker attempts to stop the maws, but the weight overpowers him. Mori and Stinkler are quick to give Goker backup, saving Coots and Goker. Once out, Coots finds an emerald in the chest. The party sees other similar snake-like contraptions. However, they are not ready to stop another trap. They leave the area and go deeper to the center of the room. The shadows in the atmosphere begin to thin out, and once cleared, they notice that the dark volcanic glass is a giant gaping maw. At this point the shadows manifest into a creature before them. They do not give much room for conversation .Coots attacks, and the battle begins.
The group handles the Steward of Rot well in the beginning. However, once the monster takes enough damage, it begins to act more brash. It spawns waves of minions.The party’s risk is great, and they all must stand in pillars made by the Steward to reduce its healing capabilities. Stinkler feels empowered as the filth and rot of the Steward fills his sense of passion. He absorbs all the muck which rejuvenates himself and readys him for a Clash. The entire party is in a dire state but with his last-ditch effort in tow, Stinkler clashes the boss. He overpowers the Steward, sealing away one of abilities.
In a series of desperate moves the party Coots dart pushes the Steward over the edge and is defeated. The steward fades and leaves behind a scroll. It is mysteriously in the western language.

... keep reading on reddit ➡It's frustrating when people play rhetorical games, especially the first caller who was basically refusing to define the God he believed in as anything more specific than "created the universe" and then hid behind the ambiguity of his definition whenever they asked for evidence.
I noticed a lot of believers do that, specifically the "headier" more philosophical ones who know the specific religious claims are ridiculous but fall back on the argument from design while pretending not to.
I think though that the hosts should set ground rules on what "God" is, though. Obviously everybody has their own version of a god but we also have a colloquial understanding of what someone means at the most basic level when they say "god." When someone says "I believe in God," in my mind, they at the very least believe in a conscious being with supernatural powers that wants people to believe in and worship them. I think anything outside those minimum constraints and we're getting into word games like defining God into existence by simply slapping that label on something we already know exists.
When I say "I don't believe in any Gods," I mean specifically that I don't believe in any conscious being with supernatural powers who wants me to worship and believe in them. I reject anything outside of those constraints being defined as a god. If you're going to start bending the definition of words that far then we might as well just talk gibberish to each other for the rest of time because fire engine pillow-talk condom paper coaster phone Chevrolet Bel-Air laptop dock thermos soup damper motor and therefore there is no God because I just re-defined all those words as "something that is undeniable proof for there not being a God, whatever that is" and therefore I win.
Also, the caller's argument from authority is flawed. It's not always wrong to defer to an authority if you want to adopt a position on something that that authority figure has expertise in that you lack. If white smoke is billowing out of my tailpipe, I'm going to defer to the expertise of a certified mechanic rather than listen to the first random person that walks by.
But a mechanic can still be wrong, lying, or trying to cheat me. But if I were to consult 5 mechanics and they all tell me the same thing, then that consensus is a much more compelling reason to defer to the authority than a single authority figure's opinion.
When we defer to the scientific opinion, it's not "believe everything our favo
... keep reading on reddit ➡Go post NSFW jokes somewhere else. If I can't tell my kids this joke, then it is not a DAD JOKE.
If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.
Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???
Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.
Thank you,
A Dad.
In the game, players only had the option of turning Sean Hampton, Aloysius Dawson, Geoffrey McCullum, and Dr. Swansea. If you had options to bestow immortality upon more citizens, who would get the privilege?
Turning Sean did cure him of his hunger. Sure he's still technically a Skal but at least he's sane and we know he won't go rabid.
Geoffrey might resent Jonathan for turning him into a "leech" but it did make him a far superior vampire hunter than any mortal could ever hope to be. Dawson was a weak and pathetic old man who did not deserve such a gift.
Swansea created a lot of problems for London but as a mad scientist, he might be of value. Dr.Strickland is ambitious and he doesn't let morality stand in the way of his scientific progress. Out of all the other medical practitioners, he has the most in common with Swansea, so I have little doubt in my mind that he would treat his immortality the same way and he wouldn't have any qualms about using patients for his experiments. I might grant it to him. After all, it is good to have another mad scientist vampire on deck. Though given the fact that both Strickland and Swansea happen to be incredibly incompetent not to mention careless, it might be best not to turn them.
Thelma Hawcroft would be an interesting case and it would be an ironic turn of events if she became the very thing she thought she was.
It would be intriguing to turn Mason just to see if it would cure him of his blindness or turn him into an altogether new creature.
Camellia's a mystery and according to Richard Nithercott, she radiates innocence. It's very tempting to deflower that sweet girl and transform her into a deadly mistress.
Lotte Paxton was quite beautiful but there's no way of telling if she'd be strong enough to survive the transition. To see Lottie eat her sister would be another reason I'd turn her. The woman is an eyesore and incredibly rude. If I can't kill her myself then I'd let Lottie take care of her for me. Plus being a vampire is better than being a mindless Skal. My choice to kill her sister in one of my playthroughs lead to Lottie becoming a Skal and I felt bad about it. Sure Giselle was a waste of space but Lottie was just so friendly. She deserved better than to lose herself in such a manner.
Turning Louise Teasdale might free her from the grasp of whichever vampire has her under his boot. The same can be said for Carina Billow as she too was a victim to a powerful Ekon. No vampire displayed the ability to

He should have a good vowel movement. His next diaper change could spell disaster though.
Making it all the way home and realizing that they forgot one of the containers:
Riceless
That was the punchline
Without missing a beat he asks "Daddy, do you know how much room you need to grow Fungi like that?"
I did not know.
So he tells me "as Mushroom as possible!"
So proud.
Feyonce
He was so brave and even tried to encourage us, the family around him, with his last breaths. He kept whispering to us to Be Positive.
He said, “Change the batteries in your hearing aid”.
She was pretty mad when I only picked seven up
So far no one has given me a straight answer.
