Idk if someone's done this yet so, here's the poem at the start: Once upon a witchlight hour The sleeping queen stirred in her tower And through grand halls passed lock and key Came to her slumber, dreams of three The first brought laughter filled with with fright The second, love defiled by spite, The third a world of pure delight She welcomed these, they were her own But soon through porcelain lips a groan Her silvery dreamscape now forsaken To pain from which she’d not awaken Something blighted had come hither Fowl as nightshade creeping thither From yon the gravelike curse did whither The little prince wept in his spire His wounded heart had one desire A ballad from the dreaming queen Could turn his maelstrom mind sereen He vowed her rescue speech sincere But toys will be his shield and spear So he scoured for one whole year In springtime wreathed in parenthood The prince first found a toy of wood A dollset, beasts and wild things But listen close and each one sings A song of child, owl and bear A song that calls the spirits there A song for monsters with much hair When summer heat steamed like a kettle, The prince then found a toy of metal A rocking horse with ashen mane Around his neck was draped a chain It’s horn and eyes and nose shoot flame With mighty hooves and sturdy frame No better steed one could proclaim He searched from autumn's harvest throne The prince then found a toy of bone Lettered blocks, stacked to the sky When turned to words, could only lie Deceit known to the hounds of hell, Makes for a potent hex or spell Of souls, of sin, of shadowfell From winter’s chill, from peak to pass The prince then found a toy of glass Marble spun in measured motion Like careful thought, or certain notion Each glinting cats eye seeing all From stars beyond the cosmic sprawl To inner strength, and mind’s recall The day has come, no time for rest The fateful toys placed in a chest With stripes of white and stripes of red Just like a big top by his bed The little prince prepares a flower For either outcome, sweet or sour And makes a wish, for love, for power Once upon a witchlight hour (if someone has done this already or the channel wants me to take this down, just tell me and I will delete it.)

[@Nasota99]

if you happen to be looking for the Carlfish moment, it happens in Episode 31 2:24:38 [[Edit] 3 Weeks later] after creating this to first say "oh, thank you for all the likes and positive words." I do mean that. I was surprised it got any attention but I am glad it helped many people find the bit they wanted to watch. Also, to further give more detailed if you are coming from the Carlfish Short which links to episode 1 of the campaign, the actual Carlfish moment occurs on the episode, 31, the youtube video is called - Once Upon a Witchlight Ep. 31 | Feywild D&D Campaign | Electrum Chef The short is actually split between several moments spread out over roughly an hour with banter, which "@theVercci" included in a reply to my post, so I thought let's break down each part. It's split up into a couple moments in Episode 31 Electrum Chef. 1:49:02 Kreamy asks the intro question to the short "You got the Crawfish, Right?" Which leads into banter which at 1:49:22 goes into the DM's Fairy saying she has either the carlfish or crawlfish which starts off some of the carl banter, such as all three carlfish are labeled "carl". But quickly goes back to the main plot story and character interactions/discussions and off the carl banter for nearly 30 minutes. 2:24:07 The part where the fairy cook hurriedly adds the Carlfish because she forgot and kreamy had to remind the fairy cook because she completely forgot as it had been 30 minutes since the first bits of banter. 2:24:34 The fairy cook says she completely forgot, and takes them out of their jars and puts them in the stew. (So the beginning of what feels like the main part of the short.) 2:24:39 Kreamy begins to asks "Oh god are they still alive?!" leading into the following Carl Banter. You can pretty much watch all the way through at that point, the short obviously had to cut some sections of the banter when Nikkie had to change the DM Music playing so she wasn't responding at first but states later she was "Listening to the screams die down of "Carl, Carl, and Carl"." 2:27:19 is when Derek begins to be a "Cooked Carl" in the last bit of the short plays out. I also included a copy of this info in episode 31 itself for those who wanted to see each little bit. I will probably do this for other shorts I just adore from time to time if people want more "short break downs".

Okay, I have a lot to say about this: For many years, I have never really enjoyed D&D, nor the thought of it, due to the significant amount of steps in creating your character and its unknown world. However, upon watching you guys sit around a table and just enjoy yourselves as you go through your adventure, I realised that the real joy of playing D&D comes from its flexibility; in creating this ever-changing world for your characters to explore. I am very much excited to continue watching and listening to OUAW. I'm glad I got to stumble upon your guys' channel.

yeah the rulebooks are a reference resource, if you need a way to measure trying to do something there's a game mechanism for it but mostly its collaborative storytelling
