Lessah jibberjabbers about things and Myth corrects and Sahba sleeps
So…did anyone else do anything interesting this week? How have you guys been?
I played the test server and I still have questions that I can’t find the answers to:
At the end of the Hardcore League, we will be providing free Character Transfers to everyone – alive or otherwise.
Lessah’s tips for survival in the hardcore league.
Your money is for your protection. Do not leave any loot in a chest. Sell what you can’t break down.
Resist pots/ protection pots/ heroism/ jump etc
Low-level collectibles that you don’t plan to craft with are to be turned in for heal-over-time potions, these can be used in conjunction with other buffs like Aid/ Virtue/ regular heal pots
Let’s say you have to run through a trap. You need every advantage you can get. And those pots will stack with the other collectors’ versions of them.
On the Subject of Gear:
Named loot in quests are not a secret. Know what you want and go after it.
If you know you need a feather falling item and haven’t found one yet, you know where the low-level items are. Go get one!
It is a waste of money to use the DDO Store here.
Get creative. Don’t ask me how many times I ran The Den of Kobold Brothers to find a Muck Bane. Use the tools available and figure out how to get what you need on the cheap. The rest is up to luck. I’d hate to see you spend a few hundred points on a character in XP pots and other things only to have that character die at level 12. Not worth it! The one exception to this is if you are planning a quest and need a rogue. 30 points on a rogue might be worth it here but you should have earned that much just by playing already.
Let’s talk about crafting.
My advice: Know what you want going in. DO YOUR RESEARCH so you know what to save in the way of collectibles.
Sell all the gear you aren’t going to use in Korthos to build a little capital for yourself and then start breaking down gear every 3rd quest or so when you get to Stormreach. You will get crafting XP and a little money each time you break things down. As soon as you have access to your bank, fill it and your inventory with stuff to break down.
Do the crafting tutorial before you go to break down your gear for the first time. This will give you a decent jump start in crafting levels and you as you will see by the planner, you need to be level 20-40 in crafting to make anything remotely sexy.
Yes you can and should do Cannith challenges at low levels.
You can get 20% miss chance bracers at level 3 “Bracers of the Wind” and it really isn’t difficult. (The challenges you need for this are very straightforward.) You are level 3 or 4 but so are the mobs.
LINK to my low-level guide to doing Kobold Chaos at level 4
LINK to the guide for getting through Dr. Rushmore’s mansion (You will do “Behind the Door” to get what you need.)
LINK placeholder for Lava Caves. Very easy and straightforward challenge.
Any gear you get can grow with you as you get “Older”
Let’s talk about getting older. (really torn about sharing this advice)
I get it, your a fledgling Hardcore player, your little body is going through changes but that doesn’t mean you need to keep putting yourself at risk. Here are the biggest mistakes I saw people making on the Hardcore Test Server:
Going too fast.
Don’t shy away from working through snowy Korthos and doing things at level. If you don’t develop your Hardcore Survival skills here, you are going to fall on your face when the training wheels come off. It’s ok to gather some gear and a few action points before you try to burn through Korthos on elite.
I should not have to talk about this, yet people are still out there eating Tide Pods. I get it. You are in a hurry. But do you know what’s more time consuming than running a quest twice? Starting over at level 1. This is Darwinism. If you play foolishly, the game will weed you out.
Lack of group communication
When the rogue says “trap” or stops and types “trap”. Don’t go further. Let them do their thing.
If you need a heal and your cleric isn’t with you, you are about to die.
Lack of self sufficiency
Be your own anchor. Have your own heal pots/ resist pots and whatever else you might need. If you are in a group, great. But it is not their job to look out for you. Watch out for number one. Think about every quest before you step in. What kind of mobs are there? What will the casters throw at you? Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance, right?
Overconfidence
This is going to be easy! I’ve run these quests a thousand times before! And then that person dies at level 4-5 the first time they see a Kobold Shaman casting lightning bolt. I have also seen a lot of players dying between 8-10 when their character starts to grow and get a little more hardy. These guys tend to bite off more than they can handle. All I can say is… THANK YOU for getting out of my way on the leaderboard!
If you are standing at a quest door and your clench factor of above seven. Step away. Do it on a lower difficulty. Come back to it later when you are bigger/ stronger. Or don’t. I’ll take your spot on the board. It’s fine.
Failure to dodge.
Not anticipating spells aimed at you and underestimating how hard a champion is going to hit you is a great way to get yourself killed. Do yourself a favor and get out of the way. Break line of sight so you can deal with the trash without interference from the archers. A little tactics go a long way.
The fight comes to you. Not the other way around if you can help it. Take away a named bosses minions and suddenly they become easier to deal with.
Know your role.
If you are squishy. Be Squishy. If you are made of glass and you throw the first punch, expect Darwinism to kick in and take care of you. Let the tank be the tank. It’s why you let them into the party.
Please stop asking me about static groups for this. I don’t plan on it at this point. Good luck! Hope to see you out there!
Know what you want and pursue it ruthlessly until you get it or someone hands you a restraining order. – Lessah, Passive-Aggressive Paladin
What we learned this week:
Lessah: I learned that I still got it.
I would say u can get 5k before hitting 20- said someone who is obviously delusional.
Myth: The elephants upstairs have moved on to new ground!!
Sahba: Syd’s next life is going to be an Alchemist!!!
Question(s) of the show – Pros and cons of paying a monthly service to get all the games of a service vs buying the games outright.
Before we start! Spoiler!!!

Did I play? Yes but it was garage night, skipped (reaper babies), then last night.
Tunnel finished just need to pretty it up! Not sure I will ever find a nitrate mine. Might have to give up but at least we found a lead mine.
Tom Clancy Division 2
I am saving DC but it keeps getting in trouble.
Myth and Sahba made WT5. woohoo!
I went to the Zoo. It was hard. There were animals there.
I was looking at games and when I went to read the description of this one game this is what it said. Cancer is everyone’s business! Till 31st January 2019, 50% of revenues from all purchases for “In Between” will go directly to the Cancer Research Institute as donations, in order to support the battle against cancer. That is very nice, providing it’s true and the game is only 12 bucks but what they want you to get is a bundle for over 250. Really what bugged me was how much I had to look for what the game was actually about. And even then it basically just said it was a puzzle game and boasted about the 25 songs in it. Huh? It wasn’t until I started reading the reviews that I found out what the game really was and even then… This was the first review I read. The liberal, subjective borderline emphasises and reactivates the collectivism. In order to re-consider this superficial conceptualisation and the signal of it’s performative and ornamental accumulation – which is de-centrally inconceivable – the art institution forces it’s poly-cultural thesis. The urbanistic continuity interweaves the boundary of occupancies. By the means of optionally circulated plots, a conclusion has been mystifyed marginally by transient membrane. The resonance to specify merges and demonstrates the integration. Really? This is a review? Some of these aren’t even complete sentences. And this person got the game for FREE! I read two more reviews where I found out that the game is about a man who has cancer and the game is about Elizabeth Kubler Ross’ On Death and Dying, 5 Stages of Grief. Hmm…maybe this is why they didn’t describe the game? Aren’t games supposed to be fun and happy or is it just me? I suppose it could be me, I had a strange week last week. Maybe I’m not straight yet. Anyway, this is when I went and finished up watching Stranger Things.
We are going to try it out and see how things go! Thank you Myth! Mythery, please post all the things!
Mythery – Do all the things. Please make the cold spells work at least 50% of the time and design some pretty shoes. Thanks. 🙂 I said please AND thanks!
The Damsels are three lady gamers who talk about things that are important to them in the world of Dungeons and Dragons Online. The Damsels recruited a bard this week to help out with a little one-off questing fun. These are quests that stand alone as singular stories and may or may not fit in with a larger storyline or quest chain. It worked out great. Special thanks to Doug Glendower of Bard Life for coming along and making things easy! Thanks so much for listening!

Lessah jibberjabbers about things and Myth corrects and Sahba sleeps
I had an idea for Doug’s show that in lew of a fashion show he should Yelp Review hirelings he used that day. On a scale of 1 to 5 stars. Rate the following:
Did your hireling arrive on time?
Did your hireling stay with you throughout the adventure?
How satisfied were you with the quality of your hirelings work?
Lessah: I learned that a bard is a great addition to any party.
Myth: I learned that I remember how to play Guild Wars and I like it!
Sahba: Myth wants to play Fallout and thinks someone is stopping her. And, I already knew this, but my mind is gone! I had to write this down or I would have forgotten it.
Question(s) of the show – Are you surprised by the devs working on XP changes, rather than something else?? I know they can work on multiple things, but …

The Damsels are three lady gamers who talk about things that are important to them in the world of Dungeons and Dragons Online. The Damsels went to the Cogs this week for the first time. Things started out great until the ladies got separated and lost. Things went pear-shaped from there but they finally found a couple of quests to do. Word to the wise, follow someone who knows where they are going. Also, don’t fall off the elevator. PARKOUR! Thanks so much for listening!

Before anything else happens, we need to talk about Bard Life with Doug Glendower.
Saturdays before Damsels and he does a fashion show!
I loved looking at shields!
This is great, I can start with a cocktail and catch the end of Doug’s show.
My static grp got cancelled for Canada day…
Is Canada Day a real thing? Isn’t every day Canada day when you have Justin?
My first experience with the Cogs was really positive because the quests were challenging but not overly hard to find. I thought they would have learned from putting Chains of Flame so far out into the desert that you just “Have to know” where it is to get there, that they wouldn’t do that again. Yet here we are with Let the lava flow quest that I’m not sure I ever want to do because of all my rage at being denied the quest door due to one mistake.
The COGS will punish you. At least in areas like Amarath, you can get to a quest even if you get lost or take a wrong turn. But a ten plus minute delay for falling off an elevator is where I draw the line.
What we learned this week:
Lessah: I learned that if you juice a gelatinous cube, it makes slimes. I was like: Shhh Shhhh Shhhhh Shhh, I have figured something out, drunk girl style.
Myth: Most traditional kilts are made of cashmere and cost between 800 and 2000 pounds! Cashmere, yummy mmmmm
Sahba: DDO puts things on sale After we need them. Or in this case, gives them away free.

I made World Tier 5, That is where you can really start tweaking your gear set and round out your build with your play style. How do you get to Carnegie Hall?
I will say the Black Tusks make the True Sons look like kindergarteners.
However! I was offered sexy time by one of the True Sons, so we need to figure a way of dragging that one back to the clan hall.

Do not be afraid to play with Matchmaking “Call for back up” or answer a call for back up. You don’t have to talk.

Season Pass? Worth it? When did the year start?
Looks like the populace playing Division 2 doesn’t think much of using fire (although one lone person did say they thought is was “the best CC we have access to but the damage is pretty lackluster”). I feel the need to disagree. I stand there all of the time with my gun at my side, laughing at them as they groan in agony and drop like flies around me. I know that sounds a little creepy and I promise I have never set anything bigger than a campfire IRL so I’m not a RL firebug. Maybe I have some sort of DNA memory thing and feel some revenge pleasure for what was done to the supposed magic users back in the late 1600’s to hmm….hee hee. Anyway, I digress (as usual) the people in the forums are pretty nice to each other, so far, but they are still a little annoying. 🙂 I only say that because no one came in and stuck up for the fire. Nu uh, not me.
Oh yeah, this is one game where I think our fire does more damage to them than the NPC’s does to us.

Sooooo…. I had to ban someone from my twitch channel for the first time ever. It pretty much ruined the remainder of my night. I didn’t even know how to ban someone until that happened.
I wanted to say THANK YOU to the people who watch our stream regularly, you guys shut that down so fast, I didn’t even know it happened until several minutes later. I’m so proud of our community.

Lessah jibberjabbers about things and Myth corrects and Sahba sleeps
Secret questing continues with INVADERS! It was so good, I put it on my YouTube channel.
What we learned this week:
Lessah: I learned that Mythery will go afk as soon as she sees a fire reaver.
Myth:
Sahba: Comfy chairs are great! One monitor is not enough!
Question(s) of the show – Lots of forum posts and feedback on reducing the ‘grind’ of heroic past lives, especially for alts so people can play more alts. Should it be done? If so, how would you do it?
Before we start! Spoiler!!!
AP Bio finale was on last night. So, they finished up the season for us. Are we happy about that or did they just rub salt in the open wound? Actually, I’m really confused. It doesn’t look like they ended anything to me. Really this would be a good one for someone else to pick up. It has a lot of fans that are upset that would follow it wherever it went.
Update – I fell down a rabbit hole when I tried to see what was really happening with this show and all I came up with was that NBC seems to be very wishy washy about what and if they are canceling or not. QUOTE “The next season’s schedule is fluid, we want to give those shows a chance to fulfill their run and we’ll take another look at them then,” NBC Co-Chairmen George Cheeks said on NBC’s May 12 upfronts call. “Remember we program 52 weeks a year so there are a lot of slots.” Apparently, for some reason part of their problem at recognizing what they should keep or not has to do with people not watching live. They need to figure that out because I don’t watch anything live.

No Refunds
Two words, Belgrave’s Emporium! Woot! Lessah wants to live there. That place was great and I think there was enough room for us to move in and have no one notice. So many pretty things, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I think we did something in there… oh ya, there was a shopkeeper and he had some sort of book we were supposed to get but he was sloppy and we kept finding pages from it lying around everywhere.
So now we are looking for Evan Greybeard and his date the woman in black. Who is apparently way out of his league in many respects. We are running around in a sleazy neighborhood and out of the blue in the middle of the street Sahba finds this random puzzle running up and down the sides of a couple of buildings and well… we have lost her for the foreseeable future. I’m pretty sure the person that laid out the streets of this place was roaring drunk when they did it but after some dedicated searching and finding ourselves back at Sahba and her puzzle a few times, we managed to locate the woman in black. She’s all, I don’t know where he is and look at me I’m too hot and rich for him. Or something like that. Oh hush Sahba, you weren’t there. So went and found him. Really, these people aren’t all that much help.
So we show up at this fancy temple after talking to ole Evan Greybeard who had given us some dirt on Vaunt. This temple is dedicated to the god of wealth so you can just imagine what it was like. Anyway, the priest wanted to meet us there and as we got there they had just closed to the public for the evening, which seemed a little strange. The sea lions were cute. Mean but cute. We freed the slaves. Amazing, this Vaunt guy had a secret factory, run by slaves, INSIDE the fanciest most gilded temple around. I suppose that’s called hiding in plain sight.
Here’s our chance! Vaunt held a gala in Skyway and rumor had it that he was bringing the Stormreach Beacon with him. I guess he thinks it will protect him and I can’t really blame him, those forgewraths are awful but that beacon is not meant to protect the likes of him. Geeze this guy likes to hear himself talk but after his little presentation was over we were able to roam around the place. This place is BIG and full of guards and forgewraths, yuck! Once we found it we made our way to the roof and hopped an airship back to Stormreach. Now that we have brought the beacon back where it belongs, I’m ready to go back to Sharn. I’m not done looking around and shopping.
I LOVE THIS GAME! Hoard night had 20 or so blades and we still got our butts kicked.
It all went horribly wrong. Here’s proof!
I think we should build a new bunker from the ground up. We just need to pick a place and a new design. I think I have some ideas to go with yours.
Tom Clancy Division 2
This is a great game! I loved going to the Air and Space Museum…and shooting all the hot guys.
I know where to get the gear dye!!!!!! You’ll never believe, it’s been there all the time. Also, I am very much looking forward to being 30 but I want to make sure I do all of the missions before I hit the World Tier 1, etc because there is no going back from there. All I know is, the last main campaign mission is at the Capitol building.
Space Engineers
Tae and I have started playing this and the learning curve is pretty steep but I think it’s worth it because we have been having fun! Space pirates and crafting game, heavy on the crafting. Also, we just found out that dangerous environment is a setting, so creatures. We are still learning how to play so we aren’t doing any of that. We can only go about 10km away from our pods before we have to go back and charge up our suits because we selected a Mars like setting.
Curious Cases
They advertise single player but…. So I went into this game and I’m messing around trying to see how to move and such and actually nothing is working and I’m trying to figure out how to get things set up and the next thing I know fedora’s start popping into existence all around me. I see that there are names over the hats so I know there are people in them. I popped smoke! I plan to Sherlock all by myself thank you very much!
Waterbears
This game came with I Expect You to Die and it’s super cute and fun but I think it’s for kids. It’s very colorful and has these little bears locked in bubbles (each a different color) and there are pipes with colored water and you have to fit the pipes together so that the right ones flow water to fill up the bubbles and pop them to let the bears out. When you win confetti explodes and rains down on your head. So cute!

Lessah jibberjabbers about things and Myth corrects and Sahba sleeps
Eyes of Stone: Why not ask the Coin Lords for more money when you have the Salve?
My otto’s box woes, in for a penny, in for two otto’s boxes at full price…
I don’t know where this fits in but I thought it was funny. ***I will tell you before the show about listening in the car to “When you share a brain.”
What we learned this week:
Lessah: I learned that When you dye your hair green, it means you will be called for a professional interview exactly 48 hours later.
Myth: Stuff is hard and I’m tired of it! I might have a container problem.
Question(s) of the show – New expansion is out – how does it compare to other expansions (Menace of the Underdark, Shadowfell Conspiracy, Mists of Ravenloft)?
We traveled to Sharn last week. Why haven’t we been here before? This place is nice. Someone here has taken the Stormreach beacon and we mean to find it. I think we know from past experience that bad things happen when that thing isn’t out where it belongs shining brightly. When we arrived we talked to Summer Korranor, strange little dwarf, and he say that we should find someone named Lucian Vaunt and that Issabet Tremont could help us with that and pointed her out to us. I need the name of her taylor! She has pretty pretty clothes. She asked us to meet her at the top of this building, told us to take the elevator. HA! I think it was supposed to be some kind of boarding house but I never saw any actual bedrooms and the place was falling apart. We ran into a guy who tried to get us to invest some money into the place so maybe he wanted to fix it up. I’m not really sure. They had some ‘elemental’ problems in the laundry room too. We did end up meeting Vaunt briefly but I can’t say he was any help to our cause. Quite the opposite I think, actually. It was quite a welcome though.
Side note – Keith Baker was the Dungeon Master, he was the creator of the Eberron campaign setting and has a really nice voice. Great job Keith!
He is also Dungeon Master in Just Business, the last quest in this chain.
Of course as long as we are here we might as well get involved in some other peoples business so we decided to help with a murder investigation that was happening deep down in the ooey gooey sticky stinky slums of Sharn. Who knew? They hid it so well. We took a skycoach to Cogsgate and met Zeleth Crowspire at her office. Apparently several murders had already taken place and she gave us locations to begin to gather our clues. Dun dun dun can you hear the music? We started in the gambling hall. He looked like he had been poisoned but one of his palms had been slashed which was kind of weird. The next murder took us to an apartment. The body here looked very similar to the first one. Did I mention that this is all in gang territory? There is the Boromar Clan and there are the Daask. Since there seemed to be Daask poison slingers around everywhere and these guys were poisoned things were sort of pointing in the Daask direction. But doesn’t that sound too easy? I mean, wouldn’t it make more sense that the Boromar were setting them up? We met up with Zeleth again to trade info and then took off for the pawn shop. Again the body was very much like the ones before it, as we were leaving the pawn shop we saw Zeleth standing near a gate just ahead of us. This is when she finally decides to tell us that she thinks her brother might know something or have something to do with all of this and of course she doesn’t want to confront him. So of course we talk to him and quite frankly, I think he’s as much of an ass as Vaunt. We end up getting in a fight with him, kick his butt, gather some more clues, and finally figure out that the slashed in the palms of the victims spell out I R K and is the name of the guy who is doing all of this. Pretty cocky if you ask me. His name was Irk. What kind of name is that anyway?
To be perfectly honest, one foray into the slums is quite enough for me. Back in the city where all of the pretty clothes and this-n-thats live, a member of the twelve came up to us. I think he recognized Sahba from Stormreach, although it’s beyond me why he thought she would want to help him. He wanted a copy of Vaunt’s blueprints and wanted us swipe them out of a warehouse for him. Lessah wanted to know why he didn’t do it himself, I just giggled at that, but he said he wouldn’t get anywhere without being recognized. Or something like that. I guess he isn’t the sneaky type. As far as snatch and grabs go I’m going to say this one was pretty easy. The warehouse manager had his own agenda going on, that’s for sure. Actually, it seems like everyone I have met over here has had some sort of hidden agenda of their own and they all have the most interesting names (says Mythery to Lessah and Sahba). Victor Dabonaire is no different. Well, except for one thing. We let him go.
Finally, we get to go somewhere that might be fun! We are going to the club, Club Clawfoot that is. I guess we have stuck our noses in so many people’s business that the City Councilor, Savia Potella, found out and decided that it should be up to us to go over to this club that happens to be run by the Boromar and try and talk the manager into breaking ties with Vaunt. This place is kinda swanky and you don’t get in unless you are invited. Fortunately for us we were able to get our names on the list. See, sticking your nose in other people’s business goes both ways. So we did get in and they did check the list but I don’t think they were actually open yet. The singer was on stage just running through some stuff so we went around and checked the place out. There is definitely some shady stuff going on here. We helped out with everything which turned out to be a good idea because they helped us in the end.
OK, so the least amount of club type fun ever. After leaving the club we saw Casper Tremont, who is Issabet’s dad, and he says that she is off to meet up with Vaunt and he’s worried about her. None of us blame him one bit for that. So he asks us if we will go keep an eye on her for him. I’m pretty sure I was looking at my feet when I nodded and mumbled something about trying. Lessah is much more confident. The whole thing started with us hovering outside a window on a sky barge spying on Vaunt having a meeting with a gnoll and some others. What happened after that. Well, …..many deaths including (and finally) Irk and poor poor Issabet but not Vaunt. This is notover.
Holy catfish matchdotcom! I thought I would never escape reality and get my virtual on! The cameras are in the headset they said. Only 2 plugs they said. SO! First of all, don’t think you’ll be contacting Oculus to tell them this thing arrived damaged and if you do you better be ready with a picture of the truck that ran it over. Mine came shipped straight from Oculus and they aren’t playing around when it comes to shipping containers. The cardboard on the outside box was a half inch thick with molded foam cradling the black retail box and that thing is really nice too. So unless I just got a lemon, I knew there wasn’t anything wrong with it and it was just me and my lack….no it was them and their lack of instructions on what to do if everything didn’t just work automatically.
OK, I want to say it was worth the wait but seriously I just don’t like to wait! It is a beautiful thing to behold. Everything I hoped for!! It’s splenderful, fascinazing, and delightfully exquizzling. I didn’t have words to describe how I felt so I had to make up my own. I think the controllers will take some getting used to but I don’t have any complaints. Let’s play!

Fall in Love – the goal of Fall In Love is to foster authentic human conversation in VR and to inspire people to feel an emotional connection with others. People will put on a headset and be transported to a whimsical forest where they come face to face with a group of actors, who they can then have a conversation with through voice recognition software.
The Forgotten Chamber – The Forgotten Chamber is a thrilling experience that comes alive through realistic binaural audio. Explore an ancient emperor’s tomb and discover its secrets, but beware: some secrets are better left forgotten.
Experience true chills, through the power of true binaural audio as a spirit whips past you in a blur of shadow and sound. Gaze-driven exploration allows players to step inside the ominous ruins without the need for a controller—where every turn is packed with ghastly thrills.

Lessah jibberjabbers about things and Myth corrects and Sahba sleeps
So Sharn is out….
Where is my otto’s box?
What we learned this week:
Lessah: I learned that my warforged looks fantastic in high society clothing. (Little lady fauntleroy)
Myth:
Sahba: In Inferno of the damned, when lighting or extinguishing the vtorches, if you aim your wand of fireball or iceball in the center, it will light or extinguish all the torches at once.
A new item has been added to the DDO Store called Call of Destiny Elixirs. These potions allow a character to earn experience in one Epic Destiny while another is active, for up to three hours per potion. NOTE: You need to have unlocked the appropriate Epic Destiny before you can gain experience in it.
Don’t search for this – it doesn’t work, whether you search for the entire thing, call, destiny, elixir, whatever. You have to go to character, epic destiny tools, and they will be listed under there
x10 – 1575 points
x5 – 875 points
x1 – 195 points
Offhand doublestrike now displays under doublestrike on character sheet
Known Issue: Epic Sharn Saga not able to be completed before a character is at least level 28. To be corrected as soon as possible.
Temp Closure: Cogs Saga NPCs – The Saga NPCs that grant and complete the Sagas available in the Cogs have been temporarily removed. The NPCs will return in a future patch. Existing Saga progress will be maintained.
Another hotfix (one was done on Wednesday, Thursday’s hotfix was postponed) is coming.
Don’t forget the last unicorn email and the story that goes with. Plus add the thanks to Z and our wolf from last time.

Lessah jibberjabbers about things and Myth corrects and Sahba sleeps
Things are moving swimmingly in my static group.
The group leader came back and we all treated him like he was a boyfriend we had just had a big fight with and we were all being extra nice and listening actively. (Let’s see how long that lasts)
In the He-reem, I decided I needed a beholder clicky and so I took that group by the piercings and pulled them through Sane Asylum over and over again until I got what I wanted. (Have I told you how I learned to solve the puzzle?) Also, I have Sahba and Zazo to thank for teaching me the speed run method.
Still considering the otto’s box so I can play a human instead of a warforged.
The only time I will ever talk this openly about a Disney Movie.
Snow White
Explain this movie plot badly: Aging lady forgets for a minute that she’s super rich and screws up badly.
I do not care about Snow White in this movie. Snow White is an idiot who makes poor choices. I don’t care about her. In keeping with my tradition of siding with evil characters, I want to focus on the queen.
So this lady is a queen. With total control of lands and soldiers. So…she has money, authority, and an army apparently. Oh… and she knows magic. You know, just on the side.
But instead of being smart and diabolical she decides to listen to some creeper who lives in her mirror. And I’ll paraphrase this but he essentially says “you’re now the second hottest chick in the land now.”
So many thoughts….
Who cares? The queen is a QUEEN! She’s rich and she has her own castle. By all rights, she should be the most eligible lady for miles around. And here she is getting wrapped around the axle about a teenager who is so poor she can only afford one dress.
There is more to that story than is being told here. Even in the movie Heathers, the hierarchy was about being an alpha female and had nothing to do with hotness.
Point 1) Snow White is poor. Which means she has to work hard all day in the sun. In five years time, she will look like a used leather handbag and the Queen will still be rich and still look great because the sun hasn’t burned the collagen out of her skin.
Point 2) Snow White should not even be on the Queen’s radar. If she was really feeling violent, she should have attacked a neighboring kingdom. You don’t need to waste your time with peasants who end up marrying young and dying early.
Let’s think of better ways to kill Snow White than the idiotic plan that actually happened. The Queen magic’s herself into an old lady and force feeds Snow White an apple. This is a terrible plan. Why is the Queen doing her own dirty work? Why does the queen not have more self esteem, who hurt her? (Evil Queen?)
Here’s what the queen could do:
Nothing. Snow White doesn’t matter
Tax the crap out of her village/ family for fun and maybe throw someone she loves in debtor’s prison until she agrees to leave go live somewhere else.
Arrest all the dwarves for illegal mining activities and then Snow White will probably starve to death because she doesn’t have the stomach to kill and eat woodland creatures.
Don’t’ get me started on the Prince. He rode in alone. No servants, no nothing. That boy is poor and the Queen does not need to waste her time with a boy who wants to troll for underage girls in the village.
What we learned this week:
Lessah: I learned that I have to be careful about what I call my Canadian static group members. They listened to the show and then said “I’m just a Canadian beta male, I can’t make decisions.”
Myth: The real difference in living in LA as opposed to anyplace else.
Sahba: Epic prove your worth, I can make it down the descent trap (spikes) in reaper on a character without evasion without dying!!! What class do you think she was???
Question(s) of the show – Least Favorite Questing Level
Before we start! Spoiler!!!
RuPaul’s Drag Race!
Vangie is hanging in there. Honestly I thought Plastique did a better job (neither was all that great) so it’s looking a little like there is some favoritism going on here. Brooke Lynn Heights seems to be coming out of her shell. Nina sure is pessimistic. I hadn’t noticed before. I think Silky has finally realized that she can’t win acting like she9 does.
I tried to build helipad and I’m thinking of putting a garage beneath it to park Cadimere’s jeep. My underground lair is coming along and I think I’ll be ready to try and defend the maze again next hoard or the next after that. Unsure.
Crafting! Really?

My favorite thing said by Mythery this year: “Since lessah’s boy toy isn’t available, let’s play Division 2.”

I have figured out crafting and upgrading settlements but I still don’t really know what’s going on and I’m almost out of bullets so I’m going to be forced to wander away and try to find missions.

The Damsels went back into the mines this week to finish what they started. They didn’t get much loot and the dwarves are still in the mine along with some crazy dark elves and a few other strange things. I’d say we accomplished not doing much of anything at all. Yay?

Lessah jibberjabbers about things and Myth corrects and Sahba sleeps
The Last Unicorn
Explain this movie plot badly: Lonely rich kid get epicly cat-fished, doesn’t care.
The last unicorn is out looking for the other unicorns so she doesn’t have to carry that dubious title anymore.
She travels with a magician who flunked out of magic school and he ends up turning her into a human to hide her from King Leer, a unicorn thief, who took all the unicorns and forced Red Bull on them so they moved into the ocean and the king is using Unicorns as therapy for depression.
Initial thoughts. The therapy isn’t working. How long has he been hanging onto unicorns? Maybe it’s time for some self-assessment.
Prince Jeff Bridges. The second he sees the unicorn lady, he falls instantly in love. Then he starts bringing her gifts like the heads of monsters and stuff to impress her, he’s peeling potatoes in the kitchen so he shake the cook down for love advice. Finally, he writes a letter and then sings it to her. And the next thing you know, they are getting down, making out, etc. (I have so many questions regarding that. But let’s stay focussed on what’s important.)
When Prince Jeff Bridges finds out Unicorn lady isn’t’ a lady but a unicorn, it is one of the most beautifully awkward moments I have ever seen in an animated film. They are all walking together and the idiot wizard is just bringing the elephant into the room.
Prince just takes it on the chin and says “I love whom I love.” Meaning, he KNOWS she’s essentially a horse with a horn in a reverse human furry costume and he’s still swiping right on her.
I would argue that the Unicorn Lady is the one most at fault here. She was fully aware of her situation and she’s old as dirt and she still let Pure, sweet, innocent Prince Jeff Bridges kiss her.
What we learned this week:
Lessah: I learned that I need to log in more and roll dice.
Myth: I am constantly learning how uninformed or just plain impossible people want to be. I want to help. I was looking for something on the internet and accidently found myself looking at a list of someone’s “pet peeves”. These are a few I think I can help with.
Drivers who won’t turn right on red. Not everyone who is in the right hand lane wants to go right. Sometimes they want to continue on straight. Other times there is traffic that you can’t see from your vantage point preventing them from turning right. Kick back with some smooth jazz and chill, maybe crank up the ac.
Retail clerks that ignore the live customer to help somebody that interrupts by phone. The customer in the store can clearly see why they are having to wait for a moment while the person on the phone has no idea why they are on hold or how long it will be.
Couples that own a dog together and call themselves mommy and daddy. Be glad these people are practising on a pet and not a baby.
People who ride their bikes in the road when a sidewalk is right there. Sidewalks are for pedestrians not bicycles!! Have you ever seen a bike lane up on the sidewalk?
When you’re eating candy and someone asks if they can have a red one. I don’t even know what to say to this but… Dude, the red ones are the best.
This person actually had a lot of things that bugged them and most of them sounded like valid annoyances but unless they stay home and away from people most of the time they must be a very peeved person.
I love playing our reaper babies!! I can’t say I love those quests so much and I can’t even tell you why. I disagree with the people who were complaining about there being too much open space with nothing in it. I rather like the open spaces. I like it when they fill them with fancy decor and such but I also liked the look of the places we were in the last couple of streams too. So it wasn’t that. I thought the last quest was fun, with all of the mirrors. Not so much the tar though. Now I know how Bach felt when he ended up down there in it. OUCH! I guess they are OK but I doubt I will think about going back in there unless I’m leveling someone again. I am very much looking forward to the time when we are back to doing epic quests with our babies but I guess we will have to stop calling them babies at that time. Reaper hotties? Shorties? Hmm…

SO MANY THINGS TO SAY!
Disaster on Hoard night!
I built a maze and the zombie solved it by tearing it down.
I built a deck and am almost done with a really nice fence. Problem is, still got a lot of bunker to dig out!!!! Arghhhhhhhh Seems like every time I turn around it’s horde night. LOL
Tom Clancy Division 2
I really love this game. I love it as much as the first one even though I think some of the changes that were made seem more like someone was trying to justify their existence on the project rather than making an improvement. You know? Like, I’m busy, I’m busy, look what I did, it’s so great. And someone who was already too busy with something else, or was friends with or just trusted said person/persons group just went with it. So, I think some things are like lateral moves and some things are worse not better. Okay, rant over.
One of the new things is how the skills, perks, and mods are earned/work. Skills are earned by betting stars from completing story missions. Only certain story missions give stars. Perks and skill upgrades are obtained with shade tech. Shade tech caches can be found throughout the world and is also given as end rewards for missions. Mods can be crafted or purchased as a perk and only need to be obtained once. Once you have one kind you can use it as many times as you want in as many guns as you want at the same time. Strange but true.

Why we don’t add our pics to the stream
I have two or three big reasons I won’t do it.
I find it incredibly distracting to watch twitch streams with someone’s face who’s expression never changes and they are literally just sitting there.
Putting on make up and doing my hair at midnight…not high on my list of priorities.
I’ll bring the elephant into the room. I AM OLD. Guys don’t care who sees them but ladies are held to another standard, even now.
you females expect me to let you on my internets.
Look at me, I’m chivalrous. Step up, lose your innocence.
Get abused into bitterness and log off.
Think I’m getting piggy? Well, you’re swilling from the wrong trough.
Think I’ve gone soft? My masculinity towers!
I can sit and type shit like this for hours
without a hint of introspection or fatigue.
You can make a sandwich for me, otherwise breed
and incubate my seed. These are your two mainstays.
Suck it up, you’re internetting while having vajayjays.

I am so happy this week! I can’t even imagine why.
I crashed guys night!
I have an idea!
I think the Damsels should be part of a DDO bingo game. If we mention your forum post, it counts as an X!
What we learned this week:
Lessah: If you mix whiskey with honey and a little lemon juice, it makes cough syrup. If you add a splash of water and some ice, it becomes a delightful cocktail!
Myth: Why we don’t add our pics to our stream. OK, I didn’t just learn this but this is a good time for out new friends to learn it.
Sahba: Syd loves having company.

Anniversary Code Week 6 – lordofcloaks
Falconry Universal Enhancement Tree now available in the DDO Store.
We started a new world and it was just me Mythery and Cadimere. Nothing much happened that day and I had to log off. The next day I get a message from Patrick and he says, “I am about to log in and I am an unclaimed man in the apocalypse.”
BOOM! I got yo boyfriend!
I proceed to log in and wander away with Patrick. We found a town and honeymoon began.
The good with the bad.
Patrick is a loot god. He get all the things, kills all the things. You level quickly but he expects a lot in return.
I would argue I am a better player because he has pushed me to be so. I can make motorcycles now, before anyone else, even Rent2pwn and Mythery and I decided to form a biker gang and go riding around last night. It felt good man.
I am also building a maze that I can’t wait to test on hoard night!
I found a place to put my new bunker!! Finally! I am sooo happy. 🙂 Vrooooommm Vroooommmm

Subnautica Below Zero
They are adding things every day. I made a Sea Truck and nice base.
Playing with Mr Buttons________________________________________________________
Lessah had to work so it was a sad day in whoville but we managed to overcome by inviting our friend Taeranos aka Mr Buttons aka Torix (from fantasy grounds) to come fill in the hole in our hearts and the slot in our group. I have to say he did a wonderful job at it too! We completed, yes completed, 5 quests. We started in the Harbor with Grim and Barett, where we ran around in a hostel with a big ‘ole bear killing abashi and looking for the planer awl. Got it! Check. Then we popped up to the Portable Hole where a Tavern Brawl was going on. That kind of thing doesn’t happen very often up there but some devils had managed to bypass our security and open some portals in the place and were attacking some wizards when we arrived. The devils were with some guy named Fortis and they were looking for something called the Transfinite Compass. I don’t know if they found it or what. I’m not even sure it matters since we just killed them, did our bit of shopping, and left. After all of that running around we were a little hungry and thirsty so we went over to Ravenloft thinking we would wrapped things up with the Final Vintage and Fresh Baked Dreams. Even though we didn’t eat the people pies or drink the moldy wine we all got some juicy loot we could use. It was grrrreat! BUT THEN for some reason we had to wait until we ended the stream to do this. I think it was like how when you sort of shoo your guests out saying your stuffed from dinner and sooo tired and need to go to bed and then you put on your pj’s, grab a bowl of ice cream, and plop down in front of the TV. So Sahba changed into another character and we took off for the Hall of Heroes to check out White Plume Mountain. I love going there. It’s like and amusement park where you don’t have to pay to go on the rides! It was fun! Too bad you guys missed it, I don’t know what to say. Except, we were tired and we went straight to bed. White Plume Mountain? Na…not us. Thanks again Tae! 🙂

The Damsels are three lady gamers who talk about things that are important to them in the world of Dungeons and Dragons Online. The Damsels went back and did all the quests that they were recently unable to complete this week. Well… maybe not all the quests. We only have so much game time! Anyway, things turned out great unless count the fact that no one got any loot or leveled up or learned any valuable lessons. Success? Thanks so much for listening!
Sahba:Welcome to the Damsels of DDO Podcast. I’m Sahba Jade and I’m here with Lessah and Mythery. We are three lady gamers who like to talk about things that are important to us in the world of Dungeons and Dragons Online. This week, we had a do-over of all the quests that we weren’t able to finish recently. Was there loot? Not really, but I think we all learned a valuable lesson here. Thanks so much for listening!

How hard can it be to get a Jibbers Blade? Really? How long has Sahba been looking for it?
What we learned this week:
Lessah: I learned that I control the DDO Servers because whenever I think I want to log on and play, everything is down.
Question(s) of the show – What did you do while DDO was down? I reformatted my hard drives and organized my games better on my drives.
Before we start! Spoiler!!!
RuPaul’s Drag Race!
This show gets better and better every season. Episode 1 I got to see my baby, Adore :)! Who are your favs, top 3 or 4, and how long do you think it will be before Vangie gets kicked off?
LOLS, What is Vangie…Vangie…Vangie…doing there?
Riverdale
You need to watch this sh.. It’s crazy!!
Really? Sell it to me. I stopped watching cause it was hard to keep up.

I’ve seen 2 so far and they were pretty funny. That poor kid.
His mom is played by Skully.

A couple of new shows worth checking out, Fam (CBS) and Whisky Cavalier (ABC).

Tom Clancy Division 2
I played again and they did fix/add most of our complaints from the first time we played. So that’s good. My biggest issue is with the quartermaster and the skill tree but maybe that is something that will change in the future. It will be out next week and if we buy it through uplay before Friday we can get a free game with it.
I am considering taking the 15th off for the launch of this game.
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands
I really love playing this game. Why aren’t there more games where we get to just hop into random cars and helicopters and take them to get where we are going? Oh, and shoot people in the head if they don’t like it.
I love Wildlands! I especially love it when I accidentally kill someone we are supposed to interrogate. 😛
Subnautica Below Zero
They are adding things every day. I made a Sea Truck and nice base.
We finally got Lessah the shard for her full plate of the ringleader. OK, that’s a lie. But we did try and then we did the anniversary event and that was fun! Cordovan, Severlin, and Steelstar (and stringtable error) are all still there but this year we also have Lichabelle and ?? that really cool black kitty cat seal thingy. Then we went and kicked Jack Jibbers butt. He, in turn did not give us any presents. And finally we killed a big mean dragon who also managed to keep all the good stuff for himself. That’s okay, we got our revenge and it was sweet and chocolaty.
We are going to try it out and see how things go! Thank you Myth! Mythery, please post all the things!
Mythery – Do all the things. Please make the cold spells work at least 50% of the time and design some pretty shoes. Thanks. 🙂 I said please AND thanks!
The Damsels are three lady gamers who talk about things that are important to them in the world of Dungeons and Dragons Online. The Damsels starred in a movie this week, called What Goes Up where they saved all of…Forgotten Realms? Cormyr? Time and Space? From evil that would use a giant flying marble to transport an army instead of just walking there like the gods intended. What a wild ride! Thanks so much for listening!

Intro:
The Damsels of DDO Recorded Live on Friday, February 8th 11pm Eastern time. I love this time slot! This is our 104th show.
Lessah jibberjabbers about things and Myth corrects and Sahba sleeps
So you want to do a quest on Epic Elite huh?
Here’s how you die making that happen.
Step 1, go to TBC looking for a simple pair of boots.
Step 2, get pulled into Jack Jibbers quest on Epic Reaper
Step 3, DIE over and over.
So about that carnivale quest…
What we learned this week:
Lessah: I learned that lots of games want my money.
Myth:
Sahba: Work – blech
Rumors, News, and Lies
Reaper Babies – ???
DDOCast subs
+2 Racial Action Point Tomes; +1 and +2 Racial Action Point Upgrade Tomes now through Feb 10.
Risia Ice Games and Eveningstar Midwinter Festival through Feb 17th.
Question(s) of the show – VR games – are they worth it? Would DDO be a good VR game?
Before we start! Spoiler!!!
The Good Place
I can’t wait to see what happens.
Riverdale
RuPaul’s Drag race, All Stars Season 4?
Some fierce competition!
So Valentina is gone.
Other games
7DTD
Alpha 17
I think I’m starting to get used to it. I have noticed that the graphic for digging/chopping, etc gets better as the tools get better. I think the point system is more streamlined and makes more sense. Somethings are gated but not everything and it isn’t perfect but I think they will have another update or two to fix things even though this is called a stable version. I like it. I like the addition of dyes to the game. Most of the clothes are white, brown or blue but you can dye them whatever you like. You can dye vehicles and prob other stuff. Another new thing is a table saw. I’m not big enough to make or use one yet but i’m hoping this means there will be new building materials. There is new paint. New buildings, new quests (jobs from the traders), and some massive dungeons. Vehicles! Bicycles, minibikes, motorcycles, 4×4 allows 2 people, and gyrocopters. Modlets!
I am loving living next to Rent 2 Pwn. He built me a bike so I would leave and I still haven’t yet.
Fallout New Vegas
I AM A MONSTER.
I finished this game and it was so fun and engaging I want to play it again but I want to play Ghost Recon and Division 2 Beta and Subnautica BZ and 7DTD Alpha 17 first. Oh, and DDO and also support myself with work in between all that.
Tom Clancy’s Division 2 Private Beta is available this weekend – you two have invites.
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands
Subnautica Below Zero
I have made two tip videos.
All things Mythery!
How does it feel to have all the power in the show?

The Damsels are three lady gamers who talk about things that are important to them in the world of Dungeons and Dragons Online. This past week the Damsels decided to run around in the Storm Horns. I think we were looking for loot but the RNG didn’t get that message. Thanks so much for listening!

Lessah jibberjabbers about things and Myth corrects and Sahba sleeps
It’s a new day and we have new goals!
Only I’d like to revisit some old goals.
Myth! 5k a day, the reprise?
I’d also like to run the House P Carnivale Quest Chain again if we are throwing out things we want to do… reasons…
I have officially committed to logging on every single day.
Update, I only log in on maybe 2 servers if I don’t have a lot of time.
What we learned this week:
Lessah: I learned that I forgot to set my alarm for early enough to catch Technical’s show Wednesday. 🙁
Myth:
Sahba: You can do racials heroic TRs in one weekend.
Question(s) of the show – Do you run sagas? If yes, guild renown or xp?

I am not in love with this but it’s gotten better. I hope they fix even more stuff by the time I finish New Vegas.
Fallout New Vegas
I am not playing anything else right now and that’s saying a lot because I have an Oculus! Two awkward stories for your enjoyment.
Story 1: I got trapped in a Vault with a crazy mutant who wouldn’t let me out. She told me to do all these things and I tried to do them but I couldn’t find her last quest and so I got frustrated and….shot her. After that, getting out of the vault was no problem.
Story 2: There is this intense redhead lady in an underground fighting arena who keeps asking me for eggs. After I finish all her egg quests, I get the option to have sexy time with her, follow her to her room, she puts on a nightie, she gets in the bed and… I did not know what I was supposed to do. I tried to get in the bed and all I did was sleep! WTF! Then she gets up and looks confused… so… I just left. Conclusion: I am bad at gay sex.
Tom Clancy’s Division
The Underground is SO FUN! I love it when we lose and when we win and when we barely win. I love listening to people’s phone calls and chasing incident reports and spy drones. ALL OF IT!
All things Mythery!
So Mythery, as a Gnome Warlock, you almost never use all your mana. Share how that makes you feel.
Explain your love/ Hate relationship with Garret.
Housekeeping!
Soooooo. The new times and days are all my fault. My work is done very early in the morning and I’m not 25 anymore. I have to have sleep in order to function. This was the compromise. I feel terrible for the guys we left behind in the wee hours of the morn.
We are going to try it out and see how things go! Thank you Myth! Mythery, please post all the things!
Mythery – Do all the things. Please make the cold spells work at least 50% of the time and design some pretty shoes. Thanks. 🙂 I said please AND thanks!
The Damsels are three lady gamers who talk about things that are important to them in the world of Dungeons and Dragons Online. We were feeling a little Restless, so the Damsels went on an island vacation. There were way too many islands, however, and things kept trying to kill them. So it was like a Tuesday! Thanks so much for listening!

Lessah jibberjabbers about things and Myth corrects and Sahba sleeps
I had so much to unpack but I can’t remember any of it.
I have officially committed to logging on every single day.
Reaper babies, 5K Every other day!
This is working well this week. We keep saving people’s daughters though. I am sensing a theme.
What we learned this week:
Lessah: I learned I have a new favorite mid level hireling! Raven? Reaver.
Myth: Tempys needs to go back to cleric school
Sahba: Gnomercyjade is not a rogue.
Rumors, News, and Lies
Reaper Babies – I already know you played, since you dragged me along. Do you find Reaper challenging? What are your plans for Epics?
Question(s) of the show – The DDO Season Pass grants permanent ownership of VIP features released during the two-year season, such as races, classes, and adventure packs (not expansions). Do you think this should be a regular VIP feature?
Before we start! Spoiler!!!
Dr. Who
I’m sort of hoping we have all watched so we can actually talk about the show instead of just gush about how much we like Jodie and the companions. ::shrug:: ←—look at that attitude 😛
The most recent episode was not their best but I really liked that the frog was the most central figure. Are we ever going to see any of the veteran characters? (*cough* River Song)
I am caught up.
The Good Place
This season has been soooo good! I still wish this show was an hour long. All of the Janets were just great!!!!!
I am up to episode 4 of season 3. I like where Chidi’s character is heading and also Tahani.
Riverdale
Arghhh how stupid can Archie be? Why are they completely ruining that character? I guess we know what’s wrong with Betty’s mom and all of the gargoyle king’s followers, they are all high in pop rocks!! Poor Betty.
I haven’t watched it in the last two weeks 🙁 no time. Too much adulting.
Hiding in Plain Sight (no named loot)
Poor Baudry Cartamon, he needs better security. That bugbear Hazadill just won’t leave him alone. I think we managed to run him off again but I’m sure he’ll be back. The most interesting thing that happened while we were looking for Hazadill was the hole Lessah and Sahba seemed to keep falling into and it was a hole full of water. Of course there were some really big blades down in the hole which made it difficult to climb out of. We felt very guilty for leaving Sahba’s mangled little body down in the watery grave while we finished tracking Hazadill down.
(We heard there was air down there!)
Slavers of the Shrieking Mines
Opu the Elder, who happens to be a big monkey, said that many of his warriors had been enslaved and were being forced to work in the mines by these things. He called them the shapeless ones but the were mindflayers and they were using ogre mages as slave masters. So off we went to help. We did our best not to kill Opu’s warrior’s but I have to admit there were a couple of casualties since the monkey’s had been enchanted to attack us as we were trying to save them. But mostly we just went through, Lessah would intimidate the monkey’s to pull them away, then I would turn everyone into stone, and then Sahba and Lessah would kill them. Every so often there would be these clumps of redheaded monkeys called turncoats, who apparently liked it down in the mines and wanted to be with the mindflayers so I guess that turns your hair red, and we got to go weapons free on those guys! Firewalls and fireballs! Oh yeah! It was fun. I want to do it again.
I am not in love with this yet. It’s just as well.
Fallout New Vegas
This game is really old but is proving to be fun and a nice time sink when I need a break from all the learning I’m having to do.
Tom Clancy’s Division
The Underground is SO FUN!
All things Mythery!
A play!
Myth: Fireball! Firewall!
Lessah: Mythery, you can’t cast those here. We can’t kill any miners.
Myth: Oh.
Sahba: (Mythery proceeds to follow the party around and do nothing.)
Lessah: Wow, Mythery has a lot of mana! Who even are you right now?
Myth: That’s because I can’t do anything.
Sahba: (Mythery then realizes she can turn things to stone and proceeds to turn the entire dungeon to stone no matter the situation)
Myth: I need a shrine.
Lessah: There she is!
Housekeeping!
Nothing is going to get done for the next two weeks. I’ll be very lucky to get a decent show out. Mythery, please post all the things!

The Damsels are three lady gamers who talk about things that are important to them in the world of Dungeons and Dragons Online. Welcome to the first ever Damselcon! The Damsels are all on the same internet connection this week. Hopefully, things don’t get weird…er. Thanks so much for listening!

The Damsels of DDO Recorded Live on Sunday, November 24th at 11pm Pacific time. This is our 101st show! Welcome to Damselcon!
Lessah jibberjabbers about things and Myth corrects and Sahba sleeps
Time and space might be folding in on itself right now. The Damsels are all under the same roof.
Activities include: Eating too much turkey, driving through Chick-fil-a too many times in one day, and watching the Great British Baking Show…off? Also stealing cats might be an impromptu activity and most recently a shockingly brutal board game.
Reaper babies, 5K Every other day!
This is not working very well right now, but enough of that, let’s talk about how Sahba’s gnome never made is past level 7.
What we learned at Damselcon:
Lessah: I learned that Mythery will let you take over her kitchen.
I also learned that Mythery’s cat doesn’t belong to her it belongs to me. And I don’t like cats. This cat is not a friendly cat. It’s an asshole. Therefore it’s mine!
I learned Sahba gets a discount or free stuff all over the place. I learned she doesn’t like to park next to other cars.
Myth: Lessah can cook stuff!
Sahba: You get more named items in the Baba Hut raid on Hard than on Reaper 1.
Question(s) of the show – Not much DDO playing during Damsel Con. What else happened?

Before we start! Spoiler!!!
Dr. Who
(Still haven’t seen this episode so no spoilers please <G>)
Still enjoying Dr. Who very much. It’s one of the few shows hubs will watch with me.
The Good Place
I had reservations about watching this because I thought it would be boring. It’s not. It’s forking great.
For future reference, the way to sell something to me is by saying “it’s the female version of the teacher from AP Bio”
I made it all the way to end of season 2.
I can’t believe you thought I would recommend a boring show to you to watch. I’m insulted.
Confessions of an Anime Addict.
Berserk
The terribly violent anime I never knew I wanted to watch. The anti hero Guts is right up my alley. The animation is….awkward.

I might have to go home early so I can play properly.
I made a video of one of the conversations the player gets to have with Aaron Keener. It encompasses who he is at his core and if he’s not part of the Division II, I’ll be disappointed.
All things Mythery!
When can I expect delivery of my cat?
Housekeeping!
Our 100th show was great, Mythery, please post all the things!

The Damsels are three lady gamers who have been talking about things that are important to them in the world of Dungeons and Dragons Online for 100 episodes now! Congrats guys! Ride along with us as we talk about memory lane as well as some fun trivia about the Damsels and stick around because we are giving away DDO Points! Fun times! Thanks so much for listening!
Here is the show, just left click and play or right click and “save as” to download!
powered by podcast garden The Damsels of DDO is sponsored byGame Fly and Loot Crate!Really? How did that happen?
Intro:
The Damsels of DDO Recorded Live on Sunday, November 11th 2AM Eastern. This is our 100th show!
Pay attention to your twitch stream messages because a sneaky rogue might message you with some DDO Points. Honestly, I have no idea what she’s doing, it’s not my department!
We have a few (a lot) clip to get through tonight and stick around for some DDO Points we are giving away continuously throughout the show. Here is the first one from Draculetta over at DDOPlayers News!
Let’s start at the very beginning, a very good place to start!
How did the Damsels meet?
Thank you Rent2Pwn for introducing the damsels! Speaking of Rent2Pwn! He sent us over a congrats, let’s hear it!
We have hosted DDO Cast 3 times when Patrick was away. Extra DDO Points are up for grabs right now for the person who types the right answer first in chat!
Hey Myth! Remember that time I tried to trade out Post Apocalyptic Life partners with you and you said no and got all affronted? I have a clip of it!
Mythery Says is a real spontaneous thing. Mythery never knows what she will say one moment to the next.
Lessah and Mythery created a world, wrote a book, and are currently in the process of trying to publish it. Many thanks to erotic Orc-based fan fiction!
Individual fun facts!
Lessah Ismorah- At Gencon and other gaming related stuff, I never go by my real name. I answer to “Lessah” 100% of the time. it’s just easier.
Lessah made up her name as a pun in order to impress Clankenbeard, he had a character named “Blue Healer”
Was this during the ritual ‘dating’ period?
Lessah’s man character always has white hair because 12 years ago it was ironic and funny, 12 years later… am no longer laughing.
Sahba Jade – Named her main character and many of her alts after characters from the Star Wars book series.
Mythery Inferno – I knew that people will call you by whatever amounts to the first 3 or 4 letters of your name so all of my characters are named something that I don’t mind being called by if shortened. And I just thought adding ery to myth sounded pretty.
Some of our favorite things!
Commercial
Lessah – OG commercial
Mythery – Fashion Palace
Sahba –
The Damsels didn’t happen by itself. Many thanks to all of the listeners and people who have stayed up late or gotten up early to participate in the twitch stream over the last 100 episodes!
Favorite Stream clip
Sahba – Rent, trying to get back up after dropping down in A New Invasion, as a wolf
Myth – Wolfpack Shroud (I know there was one point where we had all of us wolves and then we all had pets out. It was massive! We were so cute.)
My Favorite Stream Clip is actually on YouTube already. But it was when I successfully navigated the spike trap in Three Barrel Cove Epic Quest, Prove your Worth. I will post with the shownotes!
Favorite Podcast clip
Sahba – I’m done Subnautica
I HAVE SO MANY! I streamed them together in a segment I am calling, “all those times Sahba Jade trolled me!
Special thanks to:
Clankenbeard – CEO and day laborer, art department, IRL, Clankenbeard is Lessah’s extremely talented and supportive husband IRL.
Clankenbeard Artwork
Bonnie Bew – performs the Iconic It’s Mythery Song for us and so she’s on the show even when she doesn’t know it!
Cordovan from SSG for believing in us to the point where he got us a ton of points to give away!
Samius Gurobo, my former DDO Cocktail hour co-host for being very supportive when I went to do my own thing.

The Damsels are three lady gamers who talk about things that are important to them in the world of Dungeons and Dragons Online. Night Revels is still running so of course the girls went and did White Plume Mountain. Because, why not? They went looking for loot in all the wrong places and now Lessah has to learn how to use a filigree. Thanks so much for listening!

To get the cloak or to get the cloak. That is the question!
My barbarian gnome needs a green cloak. But that Vampire gem tho…
Reaper babies, 5K Every other day!
I am capped, thank you Night revels. Waiting on Mythery.
What we learned this week:
Lessah: I learned that I am no help in a quest when I have more than 4 shots of alcohol.
Myth: I learned Lessah’s brain is broken. I may have contributed to this problem.
Sahba: You get more named items in the Baba Hut raid on Hard than on Reaper 1.
Question(s) of the show – Best item from the event?
Before we start! Spoiler!!!
Dr. Who
(Still haven’t seen this episode so no spoilers please <G>)
Omg omg! I loved it! So good! It’s like David Tennant and Matt Smith had a baby.
LOVE THE SECOND EPISODE! Was great. More please! I like the companions too.
I really can’t believe how much I like the new doctor! I don’t think they could have picked a better person (male or female) this time. The way she looks at everything and the expressions on her face are just perfect. As much as I enjoyed the Rosa Parks episode I hope the shows aren’t going to be so serious and I’m looking forward to some of the usual zany dinos on spaceships type stuff.
Riverdale
OMG The parents in this show are CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I knew Betty’s mom and Jughead’s dad would end up together eventually. I think, for me, the most surprising crazy person is Betty’s sister. For some reason I thought she would be mostly normal and Betty would spend time trying to save her from this and that. I’m also a little surprised at how much of a hard time Veronica’s dad is giving her. Especially since he has taken her Archiekins away from her.
So…. Riverdale is Scooby Doo meets angsty teen drama and now they are folding in Dungeons and Dragons as “Satan’s Game” like that Tom Hanks movie from the 80’s.
I think I love the introduction of the game and “real” magic. And how nuts it has made Ethel. I think it also bears repeating what a badass Cheryl Blossom is with a bow and arrow. Speaking of the Blossoms, I wonder if her mom is still slutting it up?
New things I have watched; The Conners, I Feel Bad, Charmed, The Rookie, Legacies (vampire diaries then the originals),
Confessions of an Anime Addict.
I am so sad I have no one to talk about this…
I am caught up on Tokyo Ghoul Season Three and the show is still leeching the soul from my body. I love it.
Just fyi, it’s filigree
Let’s Talk Filigrees
What are filigrees? They are pretty little ornate things that go on your weapons. They are shiny and make everything look better than it did before. Isn’t that enough? No? Okay fine. They also add benefits, like some kind of power, skill, and/or stat bump.
Okay, first we need a sentient weapon. In order for a weapon to gain sentience it must be ML 20 or higher, and named. If you hover your cursor over its name it will say “accepts sentience” under it. Exceptions to the 20+, named rule are, Crafted / upgradeable weapons generally cannot accept sentience (most notably Temple of Elemental Evil, Legendary Green Steel and Thunder-Forged weapons). Pet collars do not accept sentience. Sentient hand wraps cannot be converted to collars.
* Sentient weapons cannot be placed in your off hand slot.
Next, we need a sentient jewel. Sentient jewels have intelligence and personality. You need to slot the jewel into the weapon to awaken its sentience. You can move the jewels from one weapon to another. Now we have a sentient weapon!
Onward to filigrees! So, apparently these little sentient jewels are hungry and what they want to eat are your old and unwanted named loot. On your weapon, under the place where you slotted the jewel there are going to be slots for the filigrees. The catch is that they aren’t all going to be there right away. Nom nom nom POP! Well, look at that. A filigree slot opened up. It is possible to get up to eight filigree slots. Although you will need a Spark of Memory from the end chest in White Plume Mountain plus another 40k XP to open it.
Slot 1 – Free
Slot 2 – 2,000
Slot 3 – 6,000
Slot 4 – 12,000
Slot 5 – 20,000
Slot 6 – 40,000
Slot 7 – 60,000
Slot 8 – 100,000
You can feed them jewels from other sentient weapons.
It is possible to get xp from daily rolls.
Cannot feed them sentient weapons with the jewels still in them or with augments in them.
Items that can’t be sold to a vendor.
Filigree Tips
A weapon can only have one of each Filigree. You cannot slot two of the same Filigree in one weapon.
Filigree sets have their own rarity; some sets will be less common than others. In addition, each Filigree has a rare chance to drop with an upgraded bonus, which has an additional effect on it.
Unless specifically noted, all bonuses listed are unique bonuses and stack with everything, including each other.
A single weapon can benefit from multiple Filigree Set Bonuses simultaneously.

All things Mythery!
A play, by Lessah!
Lessah: I am trading my chocolates for Greater Gargoyles! I have 20 of them so far!
Mythery: I was just going to get lots of death ward pots.
Lessah: … oh… *looks at her chocolates* I probably should have done that too.
We need to end the show now so we can go play Tom Clancy. BLACKOUT!

Intro:
The Damsels of DDO Recorded Live on Sunday, October 13th 2AM Eastern. This is our 98th show!
Lessah jibberjabbers about things and Myth corrects and Sahba sleeps
No Sahba this week.
Reaper babies, 5K Every other day!
Is working much better than planned.
We are ready to advance to 14?
Loving it! My Paladin is amazing and arrogant.
What we learned this week:
Lessah: Old Content, when you forget about it, it becomes changeling again.
Myth: I learned that hey did a great job on Night Revels! I love the quest for keys!!!! I love the new area where all of the quests are centrally located. I think the two new quests are amazing and I had a wonderful time doing both of them, even though I am not a fan of the minotaur one in its original form. And I am happy to see the spectral dragon back. Good job Standing Stone!!!
Sahba: Learned that she can’t be on the show when her mother is watching.
Rumors, News, and Lies
Rumors, News, and Lies Takeover by Lessah and Mythery!
Rumor:
Sahba couldn’t be on the show this week because of a worldwide outbreak of the plague.
Question(s) of the show – Best item from the event?
Before we start! Spoiler!!!
Dr/ Who
Omg omg! I loved it! So good! It’s like David Tennant and Matt Smith had a baby.
The Good Place!!!!! Yay, it’s back!
Riverdale is coming October 10th!
New things I have watched; Manifest, God Friended Me, A Million Little Things, New Amsterdam, The Neighborhood
Solo, a Star Wars Story.
I can’t even. Where to start with this movie.
I forgot what it was about ten minutes after it was over. And that was the big problem.
I can forgive A LOT in a movie if it has a good heart. But this movie was missing it’s heart. And I don’t mean Solo’s character. That was on point. I mean the systematic character destruction of CHEWBACCA.
They meet and literally five minutes later they are best friends and that’s it. Chewbacca takes the role of loyal sidekick and stays by Han’s side even when he has the opportunity to leave with OTHER Wookies. It made no sense and there was a big disconnect in the foundation of the great chemistry they have.
The one thing they got right was Lando.
The Keeper’s Sanctuary and The Church and the Cult
New Quest: Grave Work (take on Frame Work, killing Minotaur Skellies)
Resurrection (Coal Chamber)
Loot –
Hats we got:
Vargoule cosmetic hat
Crown
Spider
Armor:
Reavers Regalia
I’ve had the push broom of mystery for a while.
Cloak of Night:
Level 12 version is really good.
Other games
7DTD
Valmod – I’m still building my house but I’m almost finished. Roof almost done and now I need to paint.
I loved having Drac come back for a playdate. And I am putting up streetlights. I’m not an expert yet but I’m getting there.
Subnautica
Third (fourth?) playthrough, survival mode, I’m loving it! I slowed down and took on some ambitious building projects when I realized I was nearly done with the game.
My aquarium experiments!
Tom Clancy’s Division w/ Patrick!
WE MADE LEVEL 30!
I don’t want to spoil the storyline but things are getting real.
About the villains and different groups
Regular street thugs – easy, low level, no strategy
Cleaners – fanatics, a little higher level, they fight with slightly more coordination
Rikers – Mid to higher level baddies that broke out of Riker’s Prison. They have tenuous leadership and no clear goals. They are flash in the pan villains and everyone knows but that doesn’t stop them from being a nuisance and they are shockingly coordinated in their attacks.
And there are these guys:
The LMB: Last Manned Battalion
These guys are well-armed, well-trained and well-fortified and it shows. They hate Rikers, Cleaners and any authority that isn’t them.
They have souls, hear me out. They scream “man down” when someone gets killed
These were good guys and now they are brainwashed under bad leadership.
This needs to be a Caligula situation before they do anything about Bliss
These guys are tough but that’s not what gives me pause about them. Fighting them really messes with my mind. They are SOLDIERS. They served and they got screwed over because they got left behind and now they are placing their trust in a crazed leader.
I love a good villain and think these guys…if I could, I might try to get them to join forces with the Agents. They are THAT kind of bad guy and I love it as much as it confuses me.
One critique. When those guys patrol they only have no business bunching up in a close group where one well-placed explosive can take them out, that’s just amateur. And that’s not these guys. I want to see them fanned out in a staggered formation on either side of the road and watching each other’s backs.
Housekeeping!
Our 100th show is coming. We have some special stuff planned.
Mythery – Please make the cold spells work at least 50% of the time and design some pretty shoes. Thanks. 🙂 I said please AND thanks!
The Damsels are three lady gamers who talk about things that are important to them in the world of Dungeons and Dragons Online. I guess we are all done questing because we Saved Stormreach! That’s right! Our favorite city has been rescued like an overworked maiden in distress plot line! It’s all downhill from here. Thanks so much for listening!

Lessah jibberjabbers about things and Myth corrects and Sahba sleeps
Forgive me Sahba for I have sinned.
I played on someone else’s DDO Stream.
Brock and Friends
Brock, please come on the show! 🙂
Mythery! Reaper babies plan!
5K Every other day!
A play, by Lessah!
Me: I need to run some challenges because I need a new epic maul.
Sahba: What’s in your hand?
Me: *looks at epic maul from challenges* Oh…
What we learned this week:
Lessah: I learned that when I have a cough that lasts three weeks, I can really nal that Kobold accent!
Kobold always hate you!
Myth: I want a platinum kitty, all kobolds should be made of plat, and I finally own one cool looking outfit.
Sahba:
Rumors, News, and Lies
Reaper teens?
Reaper madness group – we are 14 and almost done GH. We failed the Reaver.
Lost in Space – Okay, I watched it. First I want to say that I enjoyed it very much. I think the robot is great! I really like his face. The mom, Maureen is a know it all bitch. Will is not smart. Judy is a bit self righteous and well, let’s just say she takes after her mom. I like Penny. Will is not smart. The guy who thinks he’s in charge is an asshole and completely useless. So, I guess that checks out. I like the dad. Will is not smart. What the heck did they do to the Don character?? I can’t even….but I like him. Alrighty, I left crazy pants for last because for as much as this show doesn’t resemble the original in any way except for the title, some character names, and the fact that they are actually lost in space, Dr. Smith is no exception and probably the biggest deviation. I suppose they did a good job creating a “bad guy” since you aren’t supposed to like them and I can’t stand her! She is a special kind of crazy and not really a very good bad guy but I hate her anyway. So, good job!
Were these people picked because they are special or are they just regular people? Because none of them seem overwhelmingly bright. Their math is off, their physics, off and it took them way too long to look up when they were in the poop room. I think I would have liked it better if I weren’t trying to compare it to something it obviously isn’t even trying to be like and would have enjoyed it more if they had named it something like Adrift in the Expanse. Then they could have still had a Dr. Smith and maybe even a Judy, “wink wink”. My brain would have spent more time just watching and less time calculating.
Like I said at the beginning, I enjoyed it. It’s just not Lost in Space.
The Good Place!!!!! Yay, it’s back!
Riverdale is coming October 10th!
Memory Lapse
We met Tara Fenwyth hanging around in the twelve. She said some famous wizard named Tarent Hoxworth (never heard of him) had lost his memory and she was looking for some people to go find it for him. Sounded pretty silly to me. But she explained that he was supposed to give a speech in an hour or so and he had misplaced the speech in his memory library. Well, of course that made much more sense. She said she could teleport us there and naturally we went.
That place was amazing and really weird! We found all of the books that made up his speech. We also found; a bookworm, crushing details, many many uncontrollable urges, and shocking ideas. Shelved memories, harmful thoughts, distracting fantasies, and multiplication tables. Not to mention a dragon named Papyerus, a manticore called Piercing Doubt, and a guy named Vespar Danville. I guess Danville was trying to stop us because he showed up about the time we put all of the parts of speech together on the podium. But we got rid of him and Hoxworth gave his speech. It was great and so much fun!
So, after trompling around in some wizard’s mind we decided to go to the Stormreach Dump. Sahba said someone asked us to go there, Lessah said there was a bunch of plat there. I just thought they were trying to trick me into getting my clothes dirty for some reason, cuz they are like that, you know. As it turned out, someone did actually ask us to go there and there was quite a bit of plat scattered about and applied to things, such as mailboxes and kobolds. It seems there was a weirdo wizard down there slapping platinum on all kinds of things. It was very strange.
Valmod – I’m still building my house but I’m almost finished. I’m working on the roof! Then I will be heading over to Cad’s to begin on the contract I have with him to design some rooms.
Starvation (plain) – Holy cow! We are working on fortifying our building and putting in some places up top to fight from. It’s only day 7 and will fight the 1st horde the next time we play from the roof of a business in town since we won’t be ready at home yet. We are still using crossbows.
I’m building a bridge and also helping other people. I made a minefield for Cadimere.
Also Cad got tired of me coughing and gave me a home remedy for coughing and it kinda works but also tastes weird.
Minecraft
Ships and cool underwater stuff
Underwater exploration is very cool. Sahba does not like to drive her own boat. I was her chauffeur.
Neverwinter PS4
I think we are 14 now. It’s still fun but I have a few complaints. The main thing atm is that it is nearly impossible to find anything on the map in town, ie potion vendor, weapon vendor, etc.
Subnautica
Third (fourth?) playthrough, survival mode, I’m loving it! I still get scared when I hear the leviathan scream.
Tom Clancy’s Division w/ Patrick!
AWESOME good time!
Kling Rikers and leveling Sahba!
So close to 30!!
Archeage
This game is ok. It’s like Guild Wars and LOTRO had an ugly baby.
It’s a very pretty game.
Dead by Daylight
AKA Kill all your friends.
There is a lot about strategy I don’t get so I like being the killer.
Interactive tutorial.
MYTHERY IS THE SCARIEST KILLER!
Come on, stop wiggling.
Get back here…
I have to admit, killing Lessah and Tae was a lot of fun! Whack whack squish squish. I went to wipe the blood off of my blade onto my shirt sleeve and that’s when I realized I didn’t have a shirt sleeve. So, I just wiped it on my arm.
When playing the killer I don’t really enjoy the hunt all that much, I just like the kill, so I prefer being one of the survivors.
All things Mythery!
A play, by Lessah:
Myth: *stands around looking at Garrett*
Lessah: What are you doing? Playing Kissy face with Garrett?
Myth: It’s self explanatory.
Housekeeping!
Brace yourselves…Thanksgiving is coming! I know, I’m starting to get excited again. It comes in waves. Wait till Halloween! 🙂
Mythery – Please make the cold spells work at least 50% of the time and design some pretty shoes. Thanks. 🙂 I said please AND thanks!
The Damsels are three lady gamers who talk about things that are important to them in the world of Dungeons and Dragons Online. The Damsels finally got around to running White Plume Mountain. Did I say White Plume Mountain? I meant the best quest ever! Seriously, talk about a fun time. If you haven’t run this well, you are missing out. Thanks so much for listening!

The Damsels of DDO Recorded Live on Sunday, September 16th 2AM Eastern. This is our 96th show!
Lessah jibberjabbers about things and Myth corrects and Sahba sleeps
In spite of playing DDO since 2006, I’m still pretty into it. I spent the majority of my evening Friday/ Saturday, playing DDO.
DDO Stream lurking! I got a chance to watch Brock and Friends, Roleplaying DDO. Was very entertaining.
I’d like to see them RP without all the stuff on the screen. Like, you have to memorize whatever hotkeys you want and then Alt-Z, get rid of all the hotbars. Now we’re having a party! I tried it last night and it didn’t work very well.
Also, introduce your regular group members to Discord. It will allow everyone to be heard better!
I really want to run a quest with these guys but I have to make i to epics first.
I also tried to talk Bachlagore into coming with us to WPM but he opened a bottle of rum instead.
What we learned this week:
Lessah: I learned the advantages to having an all hireling party:
No pointless chatter
You are in charge
If the difficulty is normal, you can pike in your own quest
Really extra, spiders, scorpions and hyenas want to kill me
Car alarms bring bikers who WILL NOT STOP chasing you
My assessment: I don’t really like it.
Minecraft
Ships and cool underwater stuff
We finally found a nether fortress and have made potions!
Underwater zombies are cool.
Turtles are cool but keep them away from your boat
I love all the wolves. It means I can take my dogs more places.
Neverwinter PS4
Subnautica
Third (fourth?) playthrough, survival mode, I’m just having fun building stuff and exploring.
Tom Clancy’s Division w/ Patrick!
AWESOME good time!
Ark Survival Evolved
I like this game but…
What am I supposed to be working towards?
It is a heavy time commitment…not sure I can deal with that anymore.
Conan Exiles
Idek what I’m doing. Tried it and everything wants to kill me, so I left and will go back once I’ve looked at the wiki and watched a beginner tutorial.
All things Mythery!
Mythery Says:
This is called Winging it!
Wanted: Mythery translator
Must speak Mytherease
Will be paid in goldfish?
Housekeeping!
Nothing!
