MARISHA: Look, it’s in the shape of a dick.
MATT: “I’m not going to ask. Four? Did you want
them?”
LAURA: Sure, yes. How much for four healing
potions?
MATT: “For four healing potions,” and he pulls
them out and plops them on the table, “240 gold pieces.”
TALIESIN: Level two.
LAURA: Okay, hold on. I open up my pack and I pour
out all my money. I start counting it.
ASHLEY: Do you have a deal, you know, if we got
all of them? That seems pretty high. Right? That
seems pretty high for a healing potion.
MATT: Make a persuasion check with disadvantage.
Yasha: the wheeler and dealer.
ASHLEY: Three.
MATT: “No, actually, I think it’s rather standard
in these parts. But I can put them back.”
TALIESIN: Healing potions aside, you are doing
something really interesting and exciting here.
You’re not a healing potion dealer. What are you
doing here? Like this is fascinating.
MATT: “Oh, I create all sorts of means of tending
to wounds and loss of stamina. To be honest, a lot

TALIESIN: Not with advantage, because I don’t have
it, but I was so excited.
MATT: Nope.
TALIESIN: Persuasion check. 19. I’m fishing for
drugs, I’m not going to lie. I’ve been on the road
a long time, I don’t remember how to do this.
MATT: He leans in close to you. “Mind closing the
door?”
TALIESIN: I skip over to the door and gingerly
close it.
MATT: “Keep curious company, that’s true.”
TALIESIN: Yes, I do. And we’re leaving town
today.
MATT: “Those are magical words for a man of my
business. Are you a fan of skein?”
TALIESIN: I don’t actually know what that is.
MATT: “Well,” and he goes back into the back
chamber, comes back with a small satchel. There’s
a finely dried, dusted material on the inside, it
has a grayish-blue color to it. He goes, “This is
"a dried and ground fungus called skein. It’s
called skein because when you eat it you can see
"the weave of time.”
MARISHA: Is that what skein means?
MATT: “It’s a woven skein, it’s a joke on fate–
never mind.”
TALIESIN: I thought it was very clever.
MATT: “Thank you very much. It’s effective, it’s
