ROSTRO: Please state the nature of the mathematical inquiry Lennon: Okay, so I don’t like this any more than you do, but if we both buckle down, we can get through this. ROSTRO: Nothing you stated constitutes a question Ryu (angrily sarcastic): I have one: Why is that thing humming? Lennon: Um, it does that when it’s on. Ryu: Do you see my face? Do I look like I’m in the mood for that kind of backtalk? Lennon: Well look, I was trying to figure out the out the shopping list this week, and- Ryu: Oh again with you and the shopping? Here, gimme. Ryu (flipping pages): Um…okay. What’s a peck? ROSTRO: Generally, physical contact as initiated by a creature featuring a beak- Ryu: Can it, speak-and-spell, I mean why is it listed next to apples? What is a peck of apples? ROSTRO: 2 gallons Lennon: What? Why doesn’t it say that…

Ryu: Why do we need new cleaning supplies? Lennon: Apparently HR has determined mops are a safety hazard and they’re being abused by certain quasi-members of the staff. Ryu: Okay, you have to admit it was kind of funny when KayDee broke that slime trail and the Gath duplicate spilled the potion into itself and it was all glowy for a bit before it evaporated. Ostron: Hang on, this says the replacement cleaning supplies are more oozes! Lennon: What? where does it say that? Ostron: Requisition: 4 cubes, gel. 2 jellies, ochre? Lennon: Darn it! I thought that was for food. Ryu: Is the oblex lonely or something? It wants more friends? Ostron: No, the oblex is really good at making friends. Literally. Ryu: So wait, it’s actually trying to help clean? Won’t more oozes…

Mikey: Yeah, but there was this footnote Lennon wanted me to check out for him about the cosmological disposition of Eberron in the planar landscape and- Ryu: And now you’re starting to sound like that thing. ROSTRO: Please state the nature of the mathematical inquiry. Ryu: Yeah, why did Ostron decide he needed your help with the planes? ROSTRO: Once cosmological analysis of planes in Dungeons and Dragons moves beyond the elemental planes, the number of areas to be considered increases by a significant number. Due to the number of potential information sources available, Ostron believed it was prudent to avail himself of my proficiency with extra dimensional analysis. Ryu: You know, I’ve got a little bit of skill with math. I’m pretty sure multiple…

This article was first broadcast in Episode One Hundred Six on 12th February 2020. Ryu: So I believe the other day you were saying something to me that sounded roughly like “oh dear gods why?” Lennon: That was to the Killer DM, not you. Ryu: Fine, but I think I have a valid reason to ask you the same question? Ostron: Oh my…what in the Hells is he trying to build? Lennon: I don’t want to go to the Hells! I’m trying to figure out how to connect to the Elemental planes. Ryu: How many times have I told you to stop messing around with dimensional portals? Ostron: Especially not out in the main room! That’s what we have the Gnomish Workshop for. You know, the one with all the alarm spells and the antimagic field security system! And ROSTRO! Ryu: I’m not sure that last one is a bonus, but anyway, he’s right. No portals. Why did you want…
