Hello, Second Besties. Something in your feeds not on a Wednesday? What could this be!? It’s one of our Antics that we are releasing for our audience, for free! Antics are monthly “mini episodes” that are available for our $5 Patrons on Patreon. This is part 1 of a delightfully stupid two-parter.

Ah, Chapter 8, Adventuring. As you will soon hear, this is my favorite chapter. I read it on holidays, with my family. We laugh, we cry, we sit in silence enraptured by its wonder. Resting! Vision! How much food you need to eat every SINGLE day! This chapter has it all, and it especially has the annoying parts! It's great.

Class is in session for you and apparently your mouse classmate. Did I intend to make a mouse classmate when I sat down to record this? I refuse to answer that question!! Anyways, this time we cover combat which basically never comes up when you play Dungeons & Dragons, it is very much an afterthought.
