Hey everybody, welcome to another exciting episode of Critical Hit. A major spoiler is Dungeons

and Dragons podcast. We're so glad you could join us. I know last week some of you may be

a little upset that we only had that 15 minute to show, but some of you've been really

asking about the dynamics of how certain elements work. So we thought we'd spend a little

bit of time talking about rituals, and hopefully you have a little bit greater understanding

of the rituals. And who knows, maybe Willi will be able to use those this week in the

show. Rod Riegos, our Dungeon Master, last time we had just met a crazy old man who had

an airship, and we were getting ready to head back to our rooms before meeting the king

in the evening. So Rod Riegos, let's turn it back over to you. That's right. You guys

did have a little bit of time to meander through Diamond Throne. So if you wanted to buy

anything, you did have an opportunity, more trail rations or supplies or a different weapon

or something else. Anybody? Are we at a point where we would need to buy rations necessarily?

We were talking about Rod Riegos about this kind of really before we recorded, and we did

get some more XP for people that are into that kind of thing. We're up to 1779 now. I asked

Rod Riegos, I said, are we really at a point where we need to buy new armor or weapons?

And he kind of said it's up to us, but he didn't think that we were in need of new

playing swords. And then you said dragons, well, first off, you can't really buy magic

items at this point. That's just kind of not available to you. Your armor and weapons don't

degrade like in other games. Oh, they don't? No. Do they rust?

Presumably. I mean, I would imagine that Torx Axe is pretty close to being worn out.

To falling apart just because of how hard he hits things with it. Right. Right.

But it's still essentially functional. It's just a cool looking ax with a lot of chips on the blade.
