Hound

I need to be involved in this.

And so I came and got involved with CTPHA.

And the Houndsman group was just kind of like revamping a few years later and had talked to Dan.

So I got a call from United Houndsman and ended up joining them as well.

So...

Yeah, the advocacy has always been there for me, especially when I talk to new people.

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of third level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above second.

Mordenkainen's Faithful Hound Fourth level conjuration.

Casting time.

One action.

The hound sees invisible creatures and can see into the ethereal plane.

It ignores illusions.

At the start of each of your turns, the Hound attempts to bite one creature within 5 feet of it that is hostile to you.

The Hound's attack bonus is equal to your spellcasting ability modifier plus your proficiency bonus.

yeah they do and uh they're being in adolescence can be a little bit longer than some other breeds

it can they can because they like holding things also have uh resource guarding issues yep um Hounds are bred to work in a pack but independently.

Yes.

They're bred to just follow scent until they just probably die, really.

So

it

was before I had this going, but that's kind of helped start the seed for thinking about this because I know the Houndsman XP, all the drives that they did, and I bought some of their stuff to go to it, and I donated.

I became a member of the Colorado Houndsman Association, and a bunch of people I know did.

Thank you.

Just to fight because it comes up, and then I think people are finally starting to realize that we have to squash it everywhere it happens and we can't just sit back and let it just, because eventually it'll just come to us if we don't go to it.

And it sucks because a lot of people don't want to get involved.

You know, they're like, well, you know, I just like to hunt my elk once a year.

I like it.

Hounds on the porch, colon, gift horse in the pen, it's entoury.

In the penitentiary.

The horse is in the pen.

Yeah.

Hounds on the porch, colon, gift horse in the penitentiary.

I can't say penitentiary.

Can you say that

You see that in this honorable moment, even though

you didn't win the game, the hounds actually look around and you see that Hawkins goes,

you're making way for Houndsport.

Yes.

You see that

he looks...

Hawkins looks at it and goes, Get gestures at Cavalier and over at Groveland, who's come in at this point, the wolfhound-looking

one, and goes, Groveland, any news out of Houndsport? You see that Groveland says, Omen, and you see that there's a ripple that goes through the hounds, and one of them says, Hawkins goes, Brinadale, back in that part of, back in that neck of the woods,

If I wasn't on this podcast, you guys should call it the fox and the hound.

Dude, we really fucking dropped the ball on that one.

Now we just call it the Fox and the Hound and the fucking nerd.

Dumb idiot.

Fox and the Hound.

Fox and the Hound and Nick.

Did I tell you a friend of mine was trying to listen to the podcast? He's like, I can't see you on the logo.

And I was on the phone.

The Goban shut himself up with his engines and secret contrivances, but the son sat down by the hearth, and the hound laid a head on his knee.

The Goban's son caressed the hound, and he made a little ran for him.

He said, Hound, my heart's delight, moon-white, sun-bright, hound from under the sea, you left a king to follow me.

And O hound, and O hound, said the Goban Sayer's son, if my wits were as nimble as your feet, I wouldn't be sitting here now.

The hound drank at dawn from the sacred well, said Anya.

So as you might know, during the lead up to the Second World War, Joe Kennedy was Franklin Roosevelt's ambassador to the UK, and in that capacity, he became, thanks to his social circle and thanks to kind of his political leanings, a strong proponent of appeasement, right? The policy that was famously embraced by Neville Chamberlain prior to the rise of Winston Churchill in the UK, uh, and the sort of fruit of appeasement was the Munich Conference, where the UK and the Nazi regime kind of came to their peace, agree to disagree, we're not gonna go to war with each other.

Uh, obviously that would fall apart later, but, uh, in Kennedy's capacity, he was really just following the lead of his social circle, and that consisted really of the elite, the financial elite of the UK, of England, which really is not just an English financial elite, but of course integrated with the broader European financial elite.

So for example, the head of the Bank of England was Montagu Norman, and Montagu Norman purportedly was kind of influencing very strongly the appeasement policy of Neville Chamberlain, and that may owe in part to the fact that Montagu Norman's best buddy, his BFF, was none other than Reichsbank president and a man who would later become Hitler's Minister of Economics, Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht.

And yes, his middle name was actually Horace Greeley, uh, named after the American journalist, ironically enough.

And one year we decided we'd have a pack of hounds.

We'd have a mixed pack.

So we had some English hounds, and we had on the second or third generation of our own hounds.

We mixed the English and the American hounds.

You, I think even took him hunting a bit and,

Hound exercise.

Hound exercise, okay.

But nonetheless, that's still...

It was a huge...
