Family Role Episode 1 - A Kiln in Cobblepot - A TTRPG Experience · Family Plot

Speaker 1: Red Conn Studios proudly resents Family Role Podcast, a tabletop
0:32
role playing game experience starring Alexandria Lexi bows as held
0:41
the Might they Hex played Warlock posing as this Strong,
0:53
Arthur Williams has Albion Bond's a Tiefling Monk or A
1:00
Williams starring as no Dutch Bunny, a Harengon Sharpshire and
1:09
Deem Boats appearing as born and ork a luckless.
1:15
Speaker 2: And was honor and the Deem of the Grid. One thing,
2:12
and it's not recorded on your character sheet because I
2:16
could not find a place to record it, is that
2:19
you all have a special ability. For example, Noel can sharpshoot,
2:25
So if you want to shoot something out of the
2:28
sky or try to shoot like an arrow out of
2:31
the sky that's attacking you, you can sacrifice your turn
2:35
to do that. Obviously, the smaller the object is, the
2:39
harder it is for you to sharpshoot. You can also
2:42
make roles to do trick shots like I'm gonna bounce
2:46
this off that in this because that was your role
2:50
in the circus was a circus sharpshooter. All these characters
2:53
come from the Ravenswood Circus so they all have tricks,
2:57
they play, they're all performers to some extent. Grilled, you
3:01
have a light and cantrip that you can cast on
3:04
anything to make it easier to lift. Now, it won't
3:07
lighten everything. You won't be able to lift a dragon.
3:11
And if you cast it on living creatures, they get
3:14
a saving throat. And it's a fairly easy spell to
3:18
resist because it's a cantrip and not a full on spell.
3:23
That is her special. And then Arthur, your special is
3:28
the ability to deflect or catch missiles. Obviously, catching is
3:34
harder than deflecting. So if you want to take an
3:37
action like while people fire arrows at you, you've got
3:41
two hands, so you can take out two arrows that
3:44
are fired at you by nice, So that is your special.
3:49
You can also juggle, but that doesn't require a role.
3:52
That's just you deciding to look.
3:55
Speaker 3: I mean it's Arthur. He always looks cool.
3:57
Speaker 4: I also look on artistic. Look at me, I've got
4:00
paint all over the place.
4:01
Speaker 3: Well you you did paint up your mask. Mask. You're
4:06
a very expensive mask to me. I didn't earn the money.
4:09
Speaker 4: Do you want to share likes? Dice or I have
4:11
purple purple and blue dice in here.
4:14
Speaker 3: We're good. She's got several sets in this box that
4:17
she's got out. I'm fine, we'll try there. So if
4:21
I needed to get mine, I'm literally are right there.
4:24
But we're good. Damn We're going to share what she's
4:27
got here. No worry, I'm gonna put you back.
4:29
Speaker 5: No, okay, Actually I'm gona go go slock cry, Okay,
4:34
we're here.
4:35
Speaker 6: Nope.
4:35
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to find the character I created to
4:38
help you all out. Ordan Rurk is a barred also
4:42
from the Ravenswood Circuit, which is all where you all
4:44
met and how you all know each other. By the way,
4:46
are we in this orgust?
4:48
Speaker 3: Where we is that where we start out? Or we
4:50
all walk like a human?
4:52
Speaker 2: Do that? No, we will cover this a little at
4:55
the beginning, but I will go ahead and tell you all. Now,
4:59
you all, I've recently left the employment of the circus,
5:02
the Ravenswood Circus as a circus ran by the feed.
5:06
So if you join it for whatever reason, you're signing
5:12
a contract for a while. Think of it like being
5:14
on the Davy Jones ship in uh to the Caribbean. Yes, yes,
5:20
it's an indentured servitude. Well you have both. You have
5:23
all recently earned your freedom. You've worked your contract, so
5:27
you are now free to go and do your own thing.
5:30
So you are traveling together because you know each other,
5:34
so as these adventures continue.
5:37
Speaker 3: Each other from the circus. But we have left the
5:39
circus at the start.
5:41
Speaker 2: Of this because we've done our due diligence, and you
5:43
all have skills that basically lead towards entertainment. So you
5:49
traveling around, you're not necessarily looking for adventure. You're not
5:54
necessarily not but you you have a reason to travel.
5:58
You have skills to sell at local local bars and
6:02
taverns and communities and things like that. So with those
6:07
simple background rules. Other than that, the world is named three.
6:11
I can actually get you all a copy of the maps.
6:17
Speaker 3: Yes, I saw it in the little video you can
6:20
share your screen.
6:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I can. I don't know how yet, but it's.
6:25
Speaker 3: Down there and you're in your video options on the side.
6:32
Speaker 2: Let me see up here we.
6:34
Speaker 3: Go place called Smitty's Garage, Burgers and beer. That's how
6:39
built about it. There was an ad for it.
6:42
Speaker 7: On my That's not where divorced fathers with no kids go.
6:49
Speaker 2: I did so that's that's the map of the world
6:53
of three. Yes, three is just Earth backwards. I was
6:58
trying to hurry. That's my good. No, I like it.
7:02
Now that you've seen the net, we can get started
7:05
whenever you are ready.
7:06
Speaker 3: Where are we starting? Where are we when we start this?
7:09
Speaker 2: At the beginning? When we start this, you guys are
7:12
in a bar in a little city called cobble Pot,
7:16
a barn. Cobble Pot okay, Uh, Cobble Pot is a
7:21
city that's uh mostly known for its pottery, although it
7:27
is not. At one point their pottery was world fame.
7:30
It is no longer quite at that level.
7:34
Speaker 3: Took it away.
7:35
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you didn't need the map for the whole game.
7:38
Speaker 3: Okay, he just wanted to show us his map on
7:41
the map. The map, the map, the map.
7:45
Speaker 2: But yeah, now there is a section called the wild,
7:48
which is where the Fay come from. And Ravenswood was
7:52
a Fay circus, so you're all a bit familiar with
7:55
the wild. But the wild is a dangerous place too,
7:59
so yeah, well it sounds wild. With that that being
8:04
out of the way, we can record and start playing.
8:07
If we haven't already started recording.
8:08
Speaker 3: I've been recording this whole time, so you can cut
8:11
off whatever you need to cut off.
8:13
Speaker 2: Cool, alrighty, Then any questions before we get started, that's
8:17
not a genuine question. I'll be on grilleda Noel. Any questions, No,
8:23
I think I'm good.
8:24
Speaker 3: I just need to know where we're starting.
8:26
Speaker 2: Well, you're in the country of a bar in the
8:33
town of cobble Plat, where there are lots that have
8:36
been cobbled.
8:36
Speaker 3: There are lots that have been cobbled with something one
8:39
did to shoot.
8:40
Speaker 2: Originally was but fair use has brought it out as
8:44
a thing that people do when they work, that put
8:47
things together. Hence a cobbler is just a put together
8:52
as opposed to a pie. Although I did see a
8:55
pie yesterday that was like lots of mini pie inside
9:00
a big pie. So I was intrigued by that because
9:04
they had apple, which I will eat, but they also
9:07
had strawberry and cherry which I won't. Now, cabbo Pot
9:10
is not actually a city on its on its own.
9:13
It is a city, a crumbling artisan quarter set in
9:17
a larger city. The larger city is the city of Scythim,
9:23
and it's Scythim is a bustling city cobble Pot is
9:27
really more this smaller artistic quarter or used to be.
9:32
Like I said, uh, their pottery has fallen off in
9:35
recent years.
9:36
Speaker 3: Our child's in here trying to gasp me. Don't mind
9:39
me if I fall over.
9:40
Speaker 2: Suddenly, let's see quit farting. Once famed for its master
9:47
potters and enchanted glaze work, cobble Pot is now a
9:51
shadow of its former self. Kilns like cold alleys are
9:57
choked with ash, and whispers of the local hands Guild
10:03
echo through the soot. Now the hands Guild, I'm sorry.
10:06
Speaker 3: The hands like hands.
10:09
Speaker 2: Yes, the hands make you. Yeah, that's where it's like
10:14
the local thieves Guild. Yeah, although a bit darker of
10:19
a reputation. All are at the Kilnmouth Tavern, tired by
10:25
Tessa Clay, who is a retired bard to perform at
10:30
said tavern, and the crowds are let's say, difficult.
10:35
Speaker 3: It's not exactly like while we're from a circus, normal
10:39
tavern performances tend to be like singing and dancing, And
10:44
I'm not necessarily sure that something my character might do.
10:48
I guess I could probably dance a little. I'm I
10:51
believe I am agile and fluffy.
10:54
Speaker 2: Oh you are agile and very fluffy, and but you're
10:57
also a seven foot tall answer from orphic rabbit with pistols.
11:02
And no, your characters do not sing or dance. They
11:06
all have their own things that they do. Yeah, you
11:10
know your character is a sharpshooter. Arthur encourages the audience
11:15
to throw things that she then catches or throws back.
11:20
And Lexi lifts great weights, and her weights are all
11:25
either wax weights that have been so like her thousand
11:28
pounds barbell isn't a is a barber wax barbell that
11:31
just says a thousand on the end so that she
11:34
can In other.
11:36
Speaker 3: Words, were Charlatan's is what you're telling me she is.
11:40
Speaker 2: But she's also a hex blade warlock, which has its
11:44
own unique abilities.
11:46
Speaker 3: One would assume, yes, just the name is cool. So yeah,
11:51
Anthony has really crappy timing. I'm sorry for all the
11:54
noises outside.
11:55
Speaker 2: Who is Anthony? The dude who knows that sounds like
11:58
a weird horror thing.
12:00
Speaker 3: The dude that is the exact same time was creepy.
12:04
Speaker 6: It is he.
12:05
Speaker 2: The dude who moves is hard. The dude who moves there.
12:09
Speaker 3: Okay, so very very nice Alexandria, Madeline Bo's what are
12:14
you doing in that darned kitchen? Child has been bouncing
12:18
off the walls to role play all day long. We
12:21
sit down to try to start to role playing.
12:23
Speaker 2: What did you do?
12:24
Speaker 3: Jess? Across the house? Get nice water?
12:26
Speaker 2: And your your buddy Albion who has a twinkle in
12:30
his high in his eye and a larceno his heart,
12:33
which is the NPC I am playing. I will not
12:36
always play him, but I felt you might need the
12:39
extra assistance. Now, going forward, I hope to have guests
12:45
on from other podcasts to join us to play characters.
12:51
So yeah, going forward, I hope that to be the case.
12:54
Right now, I don't have any in the in the pipe,
12:56
so to speak, but just like imagine Brenda playing somebody
13:01
you know, that would be so cool anyway.
13:03
Speaker 1: Never yeah, So.
13:06
Speaker 2: Now your uncle Danny has expressed interest, but as busy
13:10
as he's been with his writing and other stuff, I
13:14
wouldn't know when he could join us for sure. Yeah,
13:18
but anyway, point being be ready for guests. Also, one
13:22
other thing for the listeners to know is we will
13:24
be alternating back and forth between this campaign, the World
13:30
of Three and Lore for the pages, which I'm not
13:34
sure yet if Lexi will be a part of or not.
13:37
Some of the stuff in there is fairly adult. It
13:41
may be a case by case situation going forward where
13:44
sometimes she's included and sometimes she's The DMS help her
13:48
to keep her on the podcast. But yeah, so going forward,
13:53
it will not always be D and D just happens
13:55
to be today. Now we are going to break the
14:00
into our long episodes, so we may hit a point
14:05
where we say goodbye, like I decide, oh, this is
14:08
a great place to end, and so we'll do that,
14:11
and then we will not We'll just go on and play.
14:16
But that's just a signal, a signal for the listeners
14:21
to wait for next week's episode. So that being said,
14:24
any questions before we start other than you know, alrighty.
14:28
Speaker 5: Ready to start, Ready to start with ice again?
14:36
Speaker 3: We're good?
14:36
Speaker 2: Okay. So you are performing at the Broken Kiln Tavern
14:42
run by Tessa Clay. Like I said, the crowds are
14:45
not great. There are some who are there to see
14:48
the show, that's for sure, but it's just that well,
14:51
it's not even that it's a tavern. Taverns in in
14:54
this world are places where entertainment can happen, but it's
14:59
it's just they no longer have the civic pride they
15:02
once did. And I don't know if you've been to
15:04
a place where they no longer have pride, and like
15:07
we're the place where pottery happens. But it's all sort
15:10
of everybody's sort of states I think at this point, right, Okay,
15:15
then you know exactly what I'm going for here. Anyway,
15:19
So as you we.
15:20
Speaker 3: All agree that there's black and pride.
15:23
Speaker 2: As you have come off stage, well, as Reordan has
15:28
come off stage, because since he is the barred and
15:32
the singer and dancer, he sort of wraps the show up, hey,
15:38
as he should. So as he comes off stage, you
15:42
all are gathered at a table nearby the stage. Tessa
15:47
comes by. She has long red hair into natural curls.
15:54
She's the curly haired, redheaded girl from Snoopy or something anyway,
15:58
it doesn't matter, yeah, and she brings you all drinks
16:03
whatever you tend to drink, probably beer for the for
16:06
for for Noel, certainly, well they have beer.
16:11
Speaker 3: Drink beer, okay, so ale me for.
16:18
Speaker 7: What was that?
16:19
Speaker 2: Or I'll beyond you drink that fine wine? I think
16:23
fine wine. She has that.
16:27
Speaker 3: Chocolate milk.
16:28
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, Grelda gets Grelda gets an ice
16:31
cream float.
16:32
Speaker 5: That's what, Yeah, I would get that.
16:35
Speaker 2: It sounds good because they like sweet.
16:38
Speaker 5: So yeah.
16:39
Speaker 2: So as you all are sitting enjoying your drinks, Tessa
16:44
comes in and pulls up a seat next to you.
16:47
She sets down a small bag. It has thirteen gold
16:50
in it. Not a lot for your two days of performance,
16:54
but better than nothing.
16:56
Speaker 3: Silver.
16:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's forever and gold.
17:00
Speaker 3: That is stinky.
17:03
Speaker 6: They're coming for us. We're under attacked by the sponsors.
17:06
We'll be right back as soon as we fight them off.
17:16
Your cords. No, back to the show.
17:19
Speaker 2: You worked in a circus. You guys are used to
17:21
pooling money for things. Sure. The only person who ever
17:25
concluded though.
17:26
Speaker 3: That makes it a little better from importance included.
17:28
Speaker 2: So yeah, anyway, Tessa's like, you all do good work.
17:33
I am sorry that my Taverns days are not as
17:36
lucrative as they once were, but I might be able
17:40
to offer you a little more money. It would require you, however,
17:45
to take on a slightly dangerous task.
17:48
Speaker 3: Dangerous performing that we can do.
17:50
Speaker 4: I mean, I can deal with fire.
17:53
Speaker 2: You've seen that this would be a little more dangerous
17:57
than performing. Oh oh, we gotta go on Life's and adventure.
18:02
Small one below the city there is what remains of
18:06
what we used to call the Shard Market. It is
18:08
where the finest potters would sell the most beautiful pottery. Unfortunately,
18:15
the Shard Market is no longer exists these space is
18:19
still there, but it has been taken over by the hand.
18:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've wrote about a little bit about them since
18:25
we've been in town, or I have at least.
18:28
Speaker 2: Well, somewhere in that market is the remnants of an
18:32
amazing kill, kill killed, an amazing killed. Okay, I mean
18:38
it is the It is the glazed fire kiln, and
18:41
if we were brought to the surface, it would do
18:44
go a long way towards restoring cobble Pot's glory such
18:48
as it was. Unfortunately, we haven't found many who would
18:52
be willing to stand up to the hands to go
18:56
and retrieve it.
18:58
Speaker 3: You think that's something we would be good at. Ivy Sri.
19:03
Speaker 5: I can help with some of it.
19:05
Speaker 2: Well, you do wear guns and are a crack shot.
19:09
Speaker 3: No, I mean, I'm not saying that I would have
19:14
a problem with taking out a few hands, but we
19:19
can hear, and I'm asking questions for you, as a
19:23
tavern owner, why are you approaching us like about this?
19:27
Speaker 2: Because I built the kilt, I created it of one
19:30
of three people who did to have it back, to
19:33
have it in use would feel good, and I am
19:36
ready to feel good and spread some of that good
19:39
feeling to my neighbor. Hopefully cobble Pot can reclaim some
19:45
of its glory. And as for your companions, we know
19:50
that Albion can catch things thrown at him and even
19:56
return them. We know that Fay here can lift amazing
19:59
amount ounce of weight. Surely that translates into combat somehow.
20:04
And of course, of course you have the bard reordered
20:07
and Reordan just who is leaning back, kicking back with
20:10
an ale just sort of like does a salute off
20:14
of his hat, like yeah, I'm cool, yeah man.
20:16
Speaker 5: So can we at least go back to our basic
20:19
grab some deer.
20:22
Speaker 3: This isn't our race, this is where we're staying currently.
20:25
Speaker 2: And as for how much, I would give you five
20:29
hundred goal.
20:30
Speaker 3: But you you know that's good for just a tavern
20:34
on to have laying around.
20:36
Speaker 2: I used to be a bard, if that helps. I
20:38
spent many years adventuring.
20:41
Speaker 3: Just saying, I don't know, what do you think?
20:46
Speaker 4: I mean, couldn't hurt. We always need more money, especially
20:51
while doing this job. Get away from the performance every
20:55
once in a while. I mean, come on, living the
20:58
life in danger isn't half as bad as living life
21:02
on stage and getting tomatoes thrown at you. What's the
21:05
worst that could happen?
21:07
Speaker 3: It was only one tomato puts your belly aching.
21:11
Speaker 4: I'm not belly aching. I'm just saying, five hundred gold
21:15
is a good shot. I think we should take it.
21:18
Speaker 2: Ill.
21:19
Speaker 3: I didn't have anything going on later anyway, so I'm
21:22
fine with it. Okay, we bad whatever you want.
21:26
Speaker 2: She says, to just tell me when you're ready, and
21:28
I will lead you to the shard market.
21:31
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm ready.
21:33
Speaker 3: I guess we would just get our stuff together and
21:36
we're finished working.
21:38
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, the gig part of it is over. She
21:41
wasn't able to pay you very much, but right, that's
21:44
the life of a gig performance, right, I don't even
21:46
if she.
21:47
Speaker 3: Wasn't able to, just I'm still trying to. We must
21:52
be really poor negotiators because there's four of us and
21:56
we're splitting thirteen gold. That just the amount is messing
21:59
with it.
22:01
Speaker 2: It's essentially it's essentially a door deal. Basically, whatever people
22:06
pay to hear you, you get a percentage of.
22:09
Speaker 3: I got Okay, that's that's fairs. It's gonna be rolled out,
22:13
no problem. Okay, Well I would get my stuff together
22:16
and let my teammates do whatever.
22:19
Speaker 2: Alrighty, so is everyone ready? What LEXI marshmallows?
22:26
Speaker 8: Yeah?
22:27
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know why Grelda needs marshmallows, but okay.
22:31
Speaker 3: You know, if you're gonna go on, it's easy up.
22:35
She's great, she needs the sugar.
22:37
Speaker 2: I got nothing, alrighty. Tessa takes you out back behind
22:43
the kill Mouth Tavern where she lifts up what is
22:48
essentially a manhole cover, but it doesn't look like what
22:53
you or I would think of a manhold cover in
22:55
the modern day. It is a large iron lid that
22:58
has been fastened into the ground, and before she can
23:02
even lift it, she says a couple of words over it,
23:07
and you see these sigils on it light up, then fade,
23:11
and then she sticks a metal thing into these two holes,
23:15
spins it and lifts it and it looks pretty heavy,
23:20
but it does lead into a set of stairs going
23:22
down and it is very dark. Now for most of you,
23:27
that's not going to matter. The Fay note Glenn, Greldon, Noel,
23:33
and Albiyond all have dark vision or some form of it.
23:37
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, I'm pretty sure my hair gone
23:40
has the ability to see in the dark.
23:43
Speaker 2: So yes, the only person who will not be able
23:46
to see in total darkness is Reordan. But he's got
23:50
a lantern, so he will take up the rear with
23:54
his lantern. So as you go down this this set
23:58
of stairs and it goes down for a while. The
24:00
more the further down you go, the more humid it becomes.
24:05
There is ash caked on the walls. It just it
24:09
is not a pleasant experience. By the time you get
24:12
to the bottom of the staircase, you feel like you've
24:15
been walking for a really long time and the air
24:18
is packed with humidity, so sweat is breaking out on
24:23
you almost immediate. But there is a long tunnel that
24:27
leads forward, so you follow that and eventually it opens
24:31
up into this large chamber and you see these ripped tents,
24:38
collapsed stalls, and several broken kilns where pottery was once made.
24:45
Clearly this was the Sharp market once upon a time.
24:50
But because it's in an eight like, it's eight different
24:54
roads meeting at the center, creating this plaza of tents
24:59
that were they used to sell kilns and kiln supplies
25:03
and art and whatnot. Yeah, it's not gonna be an
25:06
easy choice to find where the uh yeah, no, I'm fine,
25:11
it's gonna be that. It's gonna be a little harder
25:13
to find where the glazsfire kiln is?
25:15
Speaker 3: All right? Well, and no, I goes up to one
25:18
of these collapsed stalls and takes a he's a broken
25:23
pottery and just kind of throws it into the middle
25:26
of one of the aisles, watches it break, and says,
25:33
you know.
25:34
Speaker 2: I already got rolled up soon you hear whistling.
25:38
Speaker 3: Oh no, you're welcome.
25:40
Speaker 7: Noel, girl, were you needed to.
25:44
Speaker 2: Do as you guys stand make ready, whatever you're doing.
25:49
You see a figure come into view dressed all in black.
25:54
It's a male. He's got a black hood and a
25:58
black wrap around his face and no so all you
26:02
can really see is his eyes. But he is flipping
26:07
a dagger up and down, which he flips it into
26:11
the air, catches it, flips it again, and he's whistling
26:14
so clearly he's not expecting trouble.
26:18
Speaker 3: Okay, does he see us or he's just in his
26:22
own han't yet?
26:23
Speaker 2: He clearly hasn't yet, he hasn't reacted to you.
26:26
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, Well, this man has a dagger that he's
26:29
playing with. Yeah, just just playing with Yeah. I don't
26:33
think I want to interact with this guy.
26:35
Speaker 2: But why not.
26:36
Speaker 3: He has a dagger and he's playing with it. We
26:40
all have daggers, probably, well I do. I don't care if.
26:46
I mean, I'm a sharpshooter, so I know at least
26:50
have something.
26:51
Speaker 5: I mean, I haven't. I have like a little blade
26:54
of I don't know why I have all that stuff.
26:56
Speaker 3: Okay, And so we can only see eyes and he's
27:01
playing catch with an other.
27:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, what you can see his form, But the only
27:06
thing that's revealed underneath all this black clothing he's wearing
27:10
is his eyes. Gotcha.
27:11
Speaker 3: Well you would have to actually like go up to
27:15
him to choke him. Yeah, but I just choke him.
27:18
Speaker 4: We don't even know if this is a threat yet,
27:20
though I might.
27:22
Speaker 3: Noel tries to get closer to him sneakily, so we
27:28
need a little more stealth check.
27:30
Speaker 4: Stealth check.
27:32
Speaker 2: I was gonna say that's gonna require some D twenties
27:35
being rolled.
27:35
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm good with that. I can roll into twenty
27:39
over your hands.
27:40
Speaker 2: Do I have to roll D twenty if you're going
27:42
to sneak with them? Yes, eleven, anybody else sneaking.
27:46
Speaker 5: Or just I'll sneak up to him and choke him
27:50
D twenty.
27:50
Speaker 2: And you need to roll it and tell me what
27:52
you get, kiddo.
27:53
Speaker 4: We don't even know if this guy is a threat
27:55
yet under.
27:56
Speaker 2: Nineteen okay, yes, Grelda is able to sneak up behind him.
28:02
He does not notice Noel for quite a while. When
28:07
he does, Grelda is behind him and has her hand
28:12
on his throat. He lets the knife fall to the
28:15
ground and holds up his hands, like, don't hurt me, sir.
28:19
Speaker 3: What are you doing here?
28:20
Speaker 2: This is the home of the hands, This is where
28:23
we live, This is where we gather, This is where
28:25
we divide our loot. Why are you in our home?
28:30
Speaker 3: To get the kiln and get out? We're only in trouble.
28:33
Mostly well easily Grilda does, but for the most part she's.
28:37
Speaker 4: Well does, but she's a bit much anyway.
28:39
Speaker 5: If I get to a hyperbem, I thill a glass
28:42
at you.
28:43
Speaker 3: If you bowling Mockbrey and handed around his neck, you
28:47
already have a handle.
28:49
Speaker 5: I'm kind of getting crazy from the bost Fellows.
28:53
Speaker 2: He's like, no need to look. If you take that
28:59
passageway over there, it does lead to the Glaze Fire kiln.
29:03
But it's not unprotected.
29:05
Speaker 4: We don't need it to be.
29:07
Speaker 3: Oh why do you have it protected?
29:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't. It was protected before we moved into
29:12
the tunnels.
29:13
Speaker 3: What's protecting it?
29:15
Speaker 2: Well, us for one. And then you just.
29:19
Speaker 3: Said before people live where they live.
29:22
Speaker 2: What why are you coming down on me? Have you
29:25
seen the economy? It's horrible. So I steal stuff doesn't
29:29
mean I should lose my life.
29:31
Speaker 3: You have a hand around your throat.
29:34
Speaker 4: I'd recommend you watch your tone with us.
29:38
Speaker 5: We're gonna die, won't They'm gotta do it.
29:43
Speaker 2: Okay he shuts up.
29:45
Speaker 3: All right, So wherever he pointed us, just throw out
29:49
my hands and go, okay, let's go see what's going
29:52
on with this kiln. And I had that direction.
29:54
Speaker 9: I I thank you, sir for your cooperation, and I
29:58
just I'm gonna head out. I'm walking with Noel to
30:03
where he pointed us to go, So can I go?
30:05
Speaker 3: Then my guest bye, pick outside of it. So apparently
30:12
Grell does bringing up the rear. What's going on with
30:15
our bard?
30:16
Speaker 2: He's actually in back because if he goes in front,
30:19
he effectively blinds you all.
30:21
Speaker 3: I don't know how he does seven foot tall, but whatever.
30:25
Speaker 2: Because he has to have a light to see you
30:29
don't fair enough, gotcha? So he doesn't blind you, but
30:33
he does stop your dark vision. And the way I
30:36
understand it, most creatures with dark vision would much prefer
30:40
to use it than light. So he is taking up
30:43
the rear to keep his light from messing with your
30:46
all's vision.
30:47
Speaker 4: Gotcha.
30:48
Speaker 2: And as you all are leaving, Riordan like whips him
30:52
a token, and it's just a little brass token. On
30:57
one side is a picture of Riordan's face. On the
31:00
other is Barret Extraordinary available for hire. Nice, And he
31:05
flips the guy I'd took and he's like, if you
31:08
all do get togethers and need a performer, and he
31:11
flashes a beaming smile. The guy drops it and is
31:14
like it runs away, going to inform somebody of your presence.
31:19
Speaker 3: One would imagine, thanks, by the ways, of course.
31:24
Speaker 2: Who are you thinking?
31:26
Speaker 3: No, Well, I was thanking Greda for choking the thief
31:30
and starring trouble.
31:32
Speaker 5: See are our noble allies, and you should do all
31:36
you can.
31:37

32:19
I look forward to seeing you there. Now back to
32:22
Family Plot.
32:24
Speaker 8: Do you ever want to be a guest and a
32:26
super cool podcast hosted by a glamorous power couple from
32:29
their cutting edge home studio on the outskirts of a
32:32
major metropolitan world hub Hollywood. Anyone us two until then,
32:39
Let's pretend one of these days you might get a DM,
32:43
a PM, an EM, or even a message in a
32:46
bottle inviting you to join my husband Deny for an
32:49
hour or two in hour chat lab working on solutions
32:53
for all the world's problems. And when you are invited,
32:57
there's only one response, yeah uh.
33:03
Speaker 2: And now to the shoe. So as you walk down
33:07
this clearly what was once a place where people would
33:11
would walk to the market. It was just a walkway.
33:15
The floor is covered in soot, the walls are covered
33:18
in soot. Clearly there was a big fire here once
33:20
upon a time.
33:22
Speaker 11: Huh.
33:22
Speaker 2: And as you are walking down the hallway, it opens
33:26
up into kind of not really a room, but it's
33:30
like two alcoves and they're they're pretty deep set, so
33:34
it gives the resemblance.
33:37
Speaker 7: Of a.
33:39
Speaker 2: Small circular room. On either side in these alcoves is
33:44
a statue of a kiln, not a working one. It
33:47
cobble pot This is back from the ancient days when
33:50
this place really was a place where pottery was highly
33:55
regarded and their mastery of it was second to none.
33:59
But also in this area are three more people dressed
34:04
in all black. One of them is clearly at least
34:08
half work. You can tell because you can see the
34:11
green around his eyes. And the others are humans. And now,
34:17
as opposed to this last guy who wasn't paying attention,
34:21
these three are. They begin to draw knives. They don't
34:28
ask questions, They just begin to press forward.
34:31
Speaker 5: See wait they can I run up to them and up.
34:38
Speaker 2: You would need a die initiative?
34:41
Speaker 3: Oh, trying to get killed.
34:45
Speaker 5: I had got that, y'all.
34:48
Speaker 4: No, no, you're you're gonna get us killed.
34:52
Speaker 3: We're rolling for initiative, yes, dijentes, sure, yes, eight. What
34:58
you just had is one?
34:59
Speaker 6: Two?
35:00
Speaker 3: Up another eight? Wait kill we will eights? They no
35:08
Arthur five?
35:10
Speaker 2: Okay, that's okay. You you clearly have out done that.
35:17
Oh okay, you see yeah, you see them coming. Uh.
35:21
The only one who who doesn't is Reordan, who goes
35:25
to pull his his rapier and drops it, and you
35:29
hear them cursing behind you.
35:31
Speaker 3: If I able to double shot, you are as.
35:34
Speaker 2: Long as you hit with the first shot, you can
35:37
fire a second.
35:38
Speaker 3: So they all have their knives. I got an eight
35:42
and she got an a. We're both of the same.
35:45
Speaker 12: So I pull out my two pistols and stare them
35:49
down and go and go what two nights to my
35:54
two pistols beat their knives.
35:56
Speaker 3: Even though there's three of them.
35:57
Speaker 2: I think, gotcha, and they can.
36:00
Speaker 5: I felt my sharp candy cane at them.
36:03
Speaker 2: I just have my pistols and say, Hi, I don't
36:07
know that you have a sharp candy cane. I suppose
36:09
I could allow it. I just said you could just
36:13
use your weapons. I forget what I armed you with,
36:16
but it's in your character sheet.
36:18
Speaker 4: All hold on, what do you have a citar?
36:24
Speaker 8: You have.
36:26
Speaker 3: Two daggers and a sickle?
36:29
Speaker 5: What's a sickle?
36:31
Speaker 3: Can you explain a sickle to the child?
36:34
Speaker 2: A sickle is it's a handle and it has a
36:38
curved blade on it. They used to use them to
36:41
cut wheat and things, but they're also quite handy weapons.
36:45
Speaker 5: Honestly.
36:46
Speaker 13: Yeah, I'll use that, which actually looks kind of what
36:50
candy can actually, So.
36:54
Speaker 5: Paint it like a candy.
36:56
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, and we came from a circuit, so that
36:59
makes sense.
37:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's pretend I just painted it so candy.
37:04
Speaker 2: That's fine. You would need to roll the hand pick
37:06
a candy cane. You would need to roll the hit
37:10
with your candy cane. Sickle roll two hits.
37:14
Speaker 3: Is she rolling her D twenty to hit? Yes, seven seventeen.
37:19
Speaker 2: That is an easy hit. It should say on your
37:22
on your character sheet, how much damage the sickle does.
37:25
You should roll that cickle.
37:28
Speaker 3: One D four plus two slashing.
37:32
Speaker 2: So okay, deep four is the triangle.
37:39
Speaker 3: Triangle roll that and whatever number is straight up and
37:43
down is what you do. So two plus two so
37:47
she does four damage.
37:48
Speaker 2: So she slices out with her slickle. Sickle catches one
37:52
of the guards across the chest. Uh and he begins
37:56
bleeding and he takes a step back. You're just holding one,
38:01
holding your pistols on one. Yeah, Noel, Yeah, I.
38:06
Speaker 3: Haven't attempt anyone yet. I'm just I just said hello,
38:10
and I've got them out waiting to respond if one
38:17
of them makes a move.
38:18
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll beyond.
38:20
Speaker 5: What are you doing the group, y'all?
38:23
Speaker 7: What?
38:24
Speaker 4: Okay?
38:24
Speaker 3: So, so there's three of them standing in between us
38:28
and we're headed and Geralda attacked. I'm assuming the closest
38:34
one to her.
38:36
Speaker 2: That's what I was now bleeding.
38:38
Speaker 3: I am standing with my two pistols prepared. If one
38:44
of them makes a move to us, what are you doing?
38:48
Speaker 7: Okay? So I'm looking at weapons here, Do I like
38:54
have a spear?
38:56
Speaker 3: Whatever is listed in your weapons?
38:57
Speaker 4: That's what you've got weapons, crossbow hands, simitar? Is that sc.
39:05
Speaker 3: Yes?
39:06
Speaker 4: Okay, so I want to talk with my sentatar.
39:09
Speaker 11: Okay, D twenty Oh that is awful. Seven yep, that
39:15
is not a hit. Good try because okay, rolls and then.
39:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, sometimes it's just that rolls. Baby.
39:26
Speaker 2: The one that got slashed in the chest pulls something
39:30
off of his belt, and I have dropped my die
39:33
that I was going to roll.
39:34
Speaker 3: So hang on, diamond looking one right that was like
39:40
percent huh dj it is the diamondy one that has
39:45
like percent right?
39:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all.
39:48
Speaker 3: Right, I'm just trying to get out what I needed
39:51
in case for using for rolling.
39:55
Speaker 2: Okay. The one who was injured pulls something off his
39:58
belt and drops it. A cloud of smoke envelops him.
40:03
He is going to start using that to stealth. However,
40:07
since you have guns out and drawn, you can fire
40:11
upon him before you fade all with his stealth. You
40:17
won't if you don't fire while he's dropping the smoke bomb.
40:22
Speaker 3: Okay, So yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and attempt to
40:24
fire him when he goes and drops that. Seven.
40:30
Speaker 2: No, nope, not enough.
40:32
Speaker 3: Well wait, wait, wait, wait wait I was I was
40:35
rolling with my D ten. I need to roll with
40:36
the D twenty, don't I?
40:38
Speaker 2: Yes, D twenty would be.
40:40
Speaker 3: Uh sorry four?
40:42
Speaker 5: Oh I can't throw one of my weapons at him.
40:46
Speaker 3: No, you already had your turn.
40:49
Speaker 2: Okay. So one has has vanished in a smoke cloud.
40:55
The others have knives out, and one hurls his no
41:00
knife at Noel, and the other hurls IS knife at Grilda.
41:05
Knife hurled it. Noel misses. All right, girl, the misses.
41:11
The knife hurld at Noel is coming forward your shoulder.
41:15
Speaker 5: I have how you use your spells to block it?
41:20
Speaker 3: Can I use my lucky footwork to try to dodge?
41:24
Speaker 2: Sure?
41:25
Speaker 3: It says, So what do I roll for that?
41:30
Speaker 2: That's just a dext roll.
41:31
Speaker 3: Which is D twenty sixteen?
41:34
Speaker 2: Okay?
41:35
Speaker 3: Is this says MBM is thirteen.
41:38
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, yep. It is a close thing. But
41:42
you managed to dodge the blade.
41:47
Speaker 3: Nice try.
41:49
Speaker 2: And so there are two remaining you don't know where.
41:54
Speaker 3: There were three? Yeah, okay, you got it, Yes.
41:59
Speaker 2: Yes, one van cloud of smoke. The other two are
42:02
right still there. So uh, D twenty is for initiative.
42:08
Reordan scoops up his rape ear aha, nine men was
42:13
eleven eight okay, oh, I'll be on. What do you
42:19
want to do?
42:21
Speaker 3: Let's see.
42:23
Speaker 7: Okay, I'm thinking we're gonna try the crossbow this time.
42:29
Speaker 2: Roll two hit D twenty. Right, yep, that's enough.
42:34
Speaker 3: You're beneath the saturns. Would you like?
42:35
Speaker 7: What so that's enough?
42:38
Speaker 3: Yes, that's what you said. That was enough?
42:40
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, I hit him.
42:42
Speaker 8: Yeah.
42:43
Speaker 2: Well you need to roll for for damage.
42:47
Speaker 3: Roll to see where your damage is.
42:49
Speaker 2: Dice there.
42:50
Speaker 3: It tells you, based on what you're using, what dice
42:53
to use on the weapon. The third column over told
42:58
you tells you what type of diet mm so in
43:02
the weapon area. Whatever you used, says the name. Then
43:06
it says what you needed, what it hits, and it
43:12
tells you the damage. The damage is what you're It.
43:15
Speaker 4: Doesn't say it on here.
43:17
Speaker 2: I'll be right there.
43:20
Speaker 3: You don't have to do you don't have to do that.

Speaker 14: Okay, go back up, where's your crossbill?
43:45
Speaker 7: Not here said that.
43:47
Speaker 4: It's not over here, like they're different.
43:50
Speaker 7: There's you don't have a cross brow. There's dagger, dagger, spear, firebolt,
43:55

44:04
Speaker 3: That doesn't mean you.
44:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, it says weapons it should have it.
44:09
Speaker 2: It says those are example weapons. The weapons you actually
44:12
have are in your Oh so you need.
44:15
Speaker 4: To use one of these, okay, well, which you've already hit.
44:20
Speaker 3: So just use whatever out of this that you have
44:24
and then roll.
44:24
Speaker 14: Based on this if that makes sense.
44:27
Speaker 4: I don't know what this means.
44:29
Speaker 14: You don't know what what means. So you're gonna use
44:33
Like if it says one D four, you're gonna use
44:36
a D four.
44:37
Speaker 7: If it says one D ten, you use a D
44:40
ten one D six plus four.
44:43
Speaker 14: So a six is a squared ice, So roll that
44:46
whatever you get an add for.
44:48
Speaker 7: Five plus four, that's gonna be nine.
44:52
Speaker 2: So and what are you using?
44:54
Speaker 4: Uh, I'm using spear.
44:57
Speaker 2: Okay, so you jabbed the guy with the spear, he collapses,
45:02
he's dead. You you have killed him in a single shot.
45:07
Grillda or wait, no, I believe it's okay, grillda, What
45:13
do you want to do? You have a sickle and
45:18
you have daggers. You also have magic, you can I
45:21
believe sleep is one of your spells. Maybe, but I
45:25
don't remember. Off the top of my head. I can
45:28
find out. Give me just half a second.
45:30
Speaker 5: Wasn't one of the spells to burn the enemy?
45:35
Speaker 2: You have fairy fire? But that's not an enemy burning spell.
45:38
That's uh yeah. It lights them up to make them
45:41
easier to hit, is what it does. It doesn't actually
45:44
burn them. Yes, it's a sparkly spell. Hang on, hang on,
45:50
hang on. Ooh, you have a spell called Hellish rebuke
45:55
and you have a spell called hex you do it
45:59
curses them? Well, then you don't even need to roll.
46:02
I just need to roll a saving throw. Unfortunately, he
46:05
made the saving throw, so he remains uncursed for now.
46:11
Speaker 3: Okay, two guys or we are down to one.
46:17
Speaker 2: We're down to one with one having escaped.
46:21
Speaker 3: Well, then I'm going to take a shot at our
46:23
last remaining dude, Come on, better, better roll seven?
46:30
Speaker 5: Have people all but other people?
46:33
Speaker 3: Okay?
46:34
Speaker 2: I miss okay, and Riordan jams his rapier forward ah,
46:42
striking the individual and doing jams him in the arm.
46:48
The guy is not dead, but he is bleeding, so
46:51
a new round of uh initiative. Riordan got an eleven eleven.
47:01
Speaker 3: Probably gotten eleven, also seventeen. He goes first again.
47:05
Speaker 2: Yep, so Albion, what do you want to do now?
47:09
Speaker 3: I see?
47:11
Speaker 4: I think I'm gonna do firebolt?
47:13
Speaker 2: Okay, you don't even need to roll. The HiT's magic
47:16
so failed saving throw, so go ahead and roll your damage.
47:21
Speaker 4: Is it this one?
47:23
Speaker 7: This dice?
47:24
Speaker 2: I don't know? Oh sorry, I was looking at the adventure,
47:28
not your pretty face.
47:29
Speaker 3: Hang on and it looks like a diamond.
47:31
Speaker 2: Yes, yes that's inside it. Yes eighty, so eight that
47:37
would be eight. But that's enough to finish him off.
47:42
So you hit him with a firebolt and he falls
47:45
to the ground.
47:47
Speaker 3: Nice.
47:49
Speaker 2: Riordan looks at you. I had him, puts his rape
47:55
your away.
47:59
Speaker 3: He lays there smoking, and nothing's left.
48:03
Speaker 5: Let's pretend I just ate the rest of our hysh fellows.
48:10
Speaker 3: Girls are sitting there munching on a marshmallow. You don't
48:15
have to say. Let's pretend that's you. Just say, girl
48:18
that eats her marshmallows. Okay, Okay, so we've defeated two
48:25
one got away, No two got away, so no, no.
48:32
Speaker 4: One got away to were dead the first.
48:35
Speaker 3: One go to?
48:36
Speaker 6: Remember how about the twisted snake?
48:41
Speaker 3: Oh?
48:42
Speaker 6: Sorry, didn't see you there. Please enjoy these words from
48:45
our sponsors. Well, all right, do you win this red
48:48
school here? Wow? The vilet is defeated. You enjoyed those
49:01
words from our sponsors. Now let's get back to the shoe.
49:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that's two two.
49:07
Speaker 3: We two have gotten away into it. It is so
49:11
now that they're gone, what does our surroundings look like?
49:15
Speaker 2: Well, again, you're in this straight shot hallway moving forward.
49:20
Now that they're gone, moving forward?
49:23
Speaker 3: Oh wait, wait, can we check the corpses see if
49:29
they put anything on them?
49:30
Speaker 2: Sure? Sure, good.
49:32
Speaker 3: Non goes up and just kind of searches the bodies
49:35
real quick.
49:37
Speaker 2: You come up with a grand with a grand total
49:40
of seven gold pieces, so that brings your you know,
49:44
your total up to twenty five hundred and twenty if
49:47
you're successful and don't die, Noel, Yes, you and those
49:53
bunny ears pick up movement behind you.
49:57
Speaker 3: Okay, well I flip around to look and see what's
50:01
going on behind me.
50:04
Speaker 2: Whatever it is, it's far enough away. You can't see it,
50:06
but myers are sticking up. But yeah, you can hear
50:12
whispers and movement behind you. Now it's a fair ways
50:15
off yet, but be careful.
50:17
Speaker 3: I think we've got somebody coming up on our rear.
50:20
Hunter tails run up to them, and no, there's nobody
50:24
to run up to. I just hear them far away.
50:29
But keep moving forward.
50:31
Speaker 2: Okay, Well about every sixty feet you past another one
50:35
of these big alco most of them so far, other
50:39
than the first, have been empty. But now you are
50:45
in this large room. It is six sided. There are
50:51
six sides to this room. There are the remains of
50:57
once beautiful tapestries hanging on the wall, and what's remaining
51:02
of the tapestry, so you have to assume what was
51:05
there before is kind of the same. Have these images
51:09
of people shopping and people making pots and so it
51:15
was market images basically images of the market, but really
51:19
well done, really nicely done, which should tell you.
51:22
Speaker 3: How hand painted wall murals.
51:26
Speaker 2: Kind of accept these are. These are tapestries, so they're
51:30
brocaded velvet silk bas relief what they call. So yeah,
51:39
but they're they're also old and tattered, so they've been
51:42
rotting for a while. Okay, Now in the center of
51:46
the room there is a small dais, a kind of
51:51
a shelf, kind of a table, but it's made out
51:54
of marble. And on top of that is a what
51:59
appears to be a pseudo dragon about a foot tall,
52:04
brilliant red with a with a bronze or gold stomach,
52:10
a tail curved around at the bottom. Almost looks like
52:14
it's actually leaking poison from the little hook on this tail.
52:19
I mean, whoever designed this went really really well.
52:25
Speaker 3: Oh it's interesting.
52:28
Speaker 2: Hm hmm.
52:29
Speaker 3: And what does it look like it's made out of?
52:32
You said it's a pseudo dragon? Can we tell what
52:34
it's made out of just by looking at it?
52:36
Speaker 2: It appears to be made out of metal, a pierced interesting.
52:45
Speaker 3: Other than how we And this isn't an alcohol or
52:49
it's a whole room.
52:51
Speaker 2: This is a whole room and it's just on a dais.
52:56
Speaker 3: Yes, is there is there another entrance slash exit?
53:02
Speaker 2: There are actually two. There's two larger doors which are
53:07
open and you can see they lead to stairs up
53:10
very like the ones you came through. And then there
53:14
is another smaller door that is shut and will not open.
53:19
Speaker 3: Thanks for letting us know that we won't waste our
53:21
time trying to open it.
53:23
Speaker 5: What if we find randall ex explosives in the world
53:29
in the room.
53:30
Speaker 3: So I'm pretty sure the dragon is what we're looking for,
53:35
but I'm a little concerned because it just seems a
53:40
little odd, doesn't it to anyone else?
53:43
Speaker 9: Yeah?
53:43
Speaker 7: Anyone doesn't seem.
53:45
Speaker 4: A little odd that there's just a dragon statue here?
53:49
Speaker 2: Should we break it?
53:50
Speaker 3: Open? Break it?
53:52
Speaker 5: Yeah? Okay, because there might be like somebodey in there.
53:57
There might be some secret money. Does anybody agree with me?
54:02
Speaker 4: No?
54:03
Speaker 7: No.
54:04
Speaker 4: What I think we should do is we should take
54:06
a closer look at the dragon statue to see if
54:09
it has like any poles or switches for that door
54:13
that won't open.
54:14
Speaker 2: Help yoursel So I I.
54:17
Speaker 4: Want to go up to I want to go up
54:19
to that dragon statue, and I wanna I want to
54:21
mess with it. I want to see if there's anything metal.
54:25
Speaker 2: Well, the statue, as I said, appears to be made
54:27
out of metal. But as you approach it, its head
54:31
moves and it looks right at you. Oh okay, And
54:36
then it opens its mouth and it says in a
54:39
voice that sounds somewhere between like a human with with
54:46
with a throat issue or perhaps molten metal running. It says,
54:52
I always run but never walk. I have a bed
54:55
but never sleep. I have a mouth but never talk.
55:00
What am I rittle? River? It lowers its head and
55:07
the door that was locked opened.
55:10
Speaker 3: Nice. Yes, we'll stop playing with him. That all lot,
55:14
that won't happen. Okay, Well, Noel kind of flips her ears. Yeah,
55:21
I know, I'm just that good for the door.
55:25
Speaker 5: Very suspicious. Wef there's like people about to attack, and.
55:31
Speaker 4: We talk them back.
55:34
Speaker 3: The whole idea. So Noel headed for the door. Whatever
55:39
y'all are doing, I'm gonna make sure.
55:41
Speaker 5: The anemies come up into this room.
55:45
Speaker 3: Well, I already told you somebody's coming up behind us.
55:48
But Ableanne, what are you doing.
55:50
Speaker 5: I'm gonna protecting.
55:51
Speaker 3: I'm following to the door.
55:53
Speaker 5: I will protect you guys outside of the room.
55:57
Speaker 3: Okay, apparently grub that doesn't want to go into the room,
56:01
what is our bard friend.
56:02
Speaker 2: Doing following you all?
56:05
Speaker 13: But kindly said girl that didn't want to go through
56:07
the door, because I want to protect y'all outside of
56:11
the door.
56:14
Speaker 2: Reordan points out, girl, Dad, I don't think you're thinking
56:18
tactically here, if we're in the room, they have to
56:22
get through the door to get to us, and only
56:24
one person can get through that door at a time.
56:26
Speaker 3: So girl, do you come with us? All right? So
56:29
we all go into the room that opened when I
56:33
answered the riddle.
56:34
Speaker 2: Okay, So you get in the room and there is
56:40
this kill and it is it's big. Now you'll be
56:44
able to lift and carry it out, but it'll take
56:47
two of you to do.
56:48
Speaker 5: It, right, get light with my badget Oh.
56:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would work. That would work. Now. In addition,
57:01
on one like on the walls are all these beautiful pots.
57:07
Speaker 9: Uh.
57:08
Speaker 2: These are classic cobble pot glazed pots of the highest
57:13
quality quality that hasn't been seen in years. Also on
57:19
the wall is a ceramic mask.
57:24
Speaker 3: How big is the mask?
57:27
Speaker 2: It's big enough to cover your face.
57:30
Speaker 3: It's so like, I'm thinking, I want to go over
57:36
and grab the mask and put it on my face
57:38
because I'm feeling sassy now that I solved.
57:42
Speaker 2: A riddle, it would fit you.
57:44
Speaker 3: Okay, that's what I do. I go over and take
57:46
the mask off the wall and put on my face.
57:48
Speaker 2: And at first it's it's not quite comfortable, but it
57:53
almost seems like it adjusts to your face and then
57:57
it feels quite comfortable. Looks like an anthropomorphic bunny wearing
58:01
a ceramic mask with a big, funny looking smile on it.
58:06
Speaker 4: You look like an evil villain from a movie.
58:10
Speaker 3: Even better? All right, we take Kim and get the
58:16
cure before gets handy.
58:21
Speaker 5: Did I always use my lighted magic?
58:24
Speaker 3: Got it?
58:25
Speaker 2: No?
58:26
Speaker 3: You've got to do that? So all right?
58:29
Speaker 5: So h Galda is that?
58:33
Speaker 6: Like?
58:34
Speaker 3: All right?
58:35
Speaker 5: So Galda uses her magic, her light and magic on the.
58:43
Speaker 3: Count so that she can carry it out for us. Yeah,
58:47
because that's why we keep a strong fairy.
58:50
Speaker 2: And she uses the light and magic and it is
58:55
now light girl that couldn't carry it by herself.
59:00
Speaker 13: That's what you're gonna do so other people can fight.
59:03
AI be a villain pabond.
59:07
Speaker 3: Do you want to try to grab a couple of
59:08
the pops off the walls or we just gonna get
59:11
while the gitten's good?
59:13
Speaker 2: You know what?
59:14
Speaker 15: Yeah, I'm gonna grab a couple of pots off the walls,
59:17
just so I can see if I can get a
59:19
little money off him.
59:20
Speaker 3: When I mean all about the cash.
59:23
Speaker 4: All about that cross grab you you know me?
59:26
Speaker 2: Huh Okay, as you guys come out of the of
59:33
the room with a kiln and your pots.
59:38
Speaker 6: And your mask.
59:39
Speaker 2: Two daggers come from the darkness and one sticks in
59:43
the wall behind you. One of them hits Reordan. Oh okay,
59:51
sticks in his shoulder. He pulls it out. He's bleeding freely,
59:54
but he and he does not look happy, but he's
59:57
not dying.
1:00:02
Speaker 4: Like any of us thought we'd even need one bandage.
1:00:05
Speaker 5: I thought we need a bill it's sober.
1:00:08
Speaker 3: Reordaned and says you goot.
1:00:10
Speaker 5: Y'all, I brought a bandage. You know, I'm a little
1:00:14
bit always prepared.
1:00:16
Speaker 3: We're not good.
1:00:18
Speaker 2: Let's see a bandage is in in this game is
1:00:22
water and then some cloth that you wrap around the wound.
1:00:26
You can try to do that if you like.
1:00:28
Speaker 3: No, I'll ask Riordan if he was good.
1:00:31
Speaker 2: It's like, let's get out of here before something worse happened.
1:00:34
Speaker 3: That's that was the plan.
1:00:36
Speaker 4: Good plan?
1:00:37
Speaker 5: So so so then, well, well, did puts on the bandage?
1:00:44
Speaker 3: Okayba wants to put a bandage on him real quick?
1:00:47
Speaker 2: All right, and yeah it helps a little, but he'll
1:00:52
need either a healing potion or some kind of magical
1:00:57
healing when you all get to where you're going.
1:01:00
Speaker 3: Well, we're making like a tree and leafing.
1:01:04
Speaker 2: Okay, as as you all travel along. As you all
1:01:10
travel along, all of a sudden, three more daggers come
1:01:14
out of the darkness at you. Now. They bounce off
1:01:16
the walls behind you. Nobody got hit, but it's clear
1:01:21
they're trying to track you now, So just walking.
1:01:25
Speaker 3: Now, we're like a cup a running for the hills
1:01:31
the back the way we came.
1:01:32
Speaker 2: Okay, double time in it, move, move, move, we gotta
1:01:36
get them. You get back through where you had the
1:01:39
encounter with the three guards. Their bodies have been removed.
1:01:47
You hear lots of movement around you, none of it close,
1:01:52
but it's clear they're trying to close in.
1:01:55
Speaker 5: Get your guts out, get your duds out.
1:01:58
Speaker 2: So now the run to the Okay, you made it
1:02:03
back to the stairs that it lead up to behind
1:02:07
the uh the broken kiln tavern, And as you get there,
1:02:13
you hear like a rush of people behind you, like
1:02:17
they're not far at all.
1:02:20
Speaker 3: So as everyone is heading for the stairs, Noel turns around.
1:02:26
It pulls both of her pistols to hold off whoever's
1:02:31
tailing them. Get that thing out of here, she hollers
1:02:35
to to Grelda, who's carrying the kiln.
1:02:39
Speaker 5: I dig Galda runs fastass as she can out to
1:02:44
the exit.
1:02:44
Speaker 3: So Grelba running to the exit with the film.
1:02:48
Speaker 2: So Grela is climbing, yes, as fast as her little
1:02:52
wings will carry her. Yes, okay, so she's carrying the
1:02:59
light and kill. Are you waiting by yourself or is
1:03:03
everybody behind you?
1:03:05
Speaker 3: Old to he an eye on our.
1:03:10
Speaker 15: Ears, Arthur, I think I'm gonna go ahead and try
1:03:15
to hold off whoever is backtracking us with.
1:03:21
Speaker 3: With what is the bar doing? You're wounded?
1:03:24
Speaker 16: Allow me to tend to your wounds. Well, you listen
1:03:27
to these words from our sponsors. There, hold better, let's
1:03:42
get back to the show.
1:03:43
Speaker 2: He is accompanying Grilda towards the surface, just in case
1:03:47
they have figured out where you're heading.
1:03:50
Speaker 3: So that's where everyone is. You tell us what they're doing.
1:03:54
Speaker 2: Well, you see one guy with an army of shadows
1:04:01
behind him walking towards the stairs. And this guy is
1:04:06
dressed in the same kind of black gear, but he's
1:04:09
not wearing a mask or a hood. He has white hair.
1:04:13
He has a scar that begins over one nose runs
1:04:17
down his cheek and a sneer. You know him, if
1:04:23
only because you've seen pictures of him throughout the town.
1:04:28
They call him Slink and he's the leader of the
1:04:32
guilt Roger.
1:04:34
Speaker 17: Okaye him, man, we're just reclaiming some property. We're gonna
1:04:39
be out of your hair and won't see us again.
1:04:43
Not trying to not trying to take you or in
1:04:46
or anything. We're just reclaiming some property.
1:04:50
Speaker 3: That's all. We're gonna be out of your hair.
1:04:53
Speaker 2: Slink just sneers. He can't help it.
1:04:57
Speaker 3: Just what do you do? Okay, not problem.
1:05:00
Speaker 2: He's like, well, there's a price to get that out
1:05:03
of here without a fight.
1:05:05
Speaker 3: You have to have already going up the stairs. So
1:05:08
I mean, we can fight if he wants, but I
1:05:11
think it's a moot point. I'm not sure how much
1:05:14
he gets to fight. Since I've got two pistols to
1:05:17
his whatever he's standing here sneering at, and they are
1:05:21
two pistols to his sneer. I feel like the exception
1:05:25
of the fact that I obviously can't roll for shit today,
1:05:27
I feel like I should be in better standing.
1:05:30
Speaker 7: Girl.
1:05:31
Speaker 3: If you drop those things, you get off the shot.
1:05:33
Speaker 2: See his hands.
1:05:37
Speaker 3: I'm going to whoop you in the nose with my
1:05:39
Actually take a shot at his foot, just because I'm
1:05:42
trying to totally piss him off. I just want him to,
1:05:45
just want to let him know that, hey, we would
1:05:49
just want to leave without any trouble. I come, no, no, no,
1:05:55
you you were up the stairs. Okay, So I take
1:05:59
this between his feet and team.
1:06:07
Speaker 2: Lucky. Yeah, you managed to place a shot between his feet,
1:06:11
but it doesn't stop his hands moving.
1:06:14
Speaker 4: Lucky Lucky roll.
1:06:15
Speaker 2: And you can't because you struck with that first shot.
1:06:18
Speaker 6: You you.
1:06:20
Speaker 2: Can definitely follow up with a second.
1:06:24
Speaker 3: And what was he doing with his hands?
1:06:27
Speaker 2: It looks like he's casting a spell?
1:06:29
Speaker 3: Oh okay, whoa. I take a shot at his spell
1:06:34
casting hands with my second pistol and it doesn't do
1:06:44
can't do too good, can't get too good? Rolls back back,
1:06:48
I guess no.
1:06:51
Speaker 2: Darkness begins to spread from his fingers, long ropes of it,
1:06:57
and they sort of form into snakes as he approaches you.
1:07:04
Speaker 3: I'll be honest there with me too, I'll be on
1:07:06
what are you doing? So roll for initiative?
1:07:10
Speaker 2: You probably should have, but he was he was coming
1:07:14
to talk.
1:07:15
Speaker 4: So what do I think I'm gonna do I think
1:07:18
I am going to try to hit him, because if
1:07:23
he wants to fight, he wants to fight.
1:07:25
Speaker 3: I pranced me talking here. I guess I should have
1:07:28
asked that question before I shot at him. Go ahead,
1:07:32
what are you doing? I'll be on.
1:07:34
Speaker 7: I think I think I'm gonna use my spear.
1:07:40
Speaker 4: I think I'm gonna use my spear. I'm gonna I
1:07:42
think I'm gonna throw it.
1:07:43
Speaker 3: At this guy.
1:07:44
Speaker 2: Okay, roll D twenty. Oh you hit, Go ahead and
1:07:49
roll your damage five. Okay, Well you strike him in
1:07:55
the shoulder. It cuts him open and he's bleeding. You see,
1:08:01
if he can focus, his spellcraft barely makes that role.
1:08:06
The darkness snakes keep flowing, and you notice he's got
1:08:12
a literal army of these hands behind him.
1:08:17
Speaker 3: Have our friends gotten out the cave.
1:08:21
Speaker 2: Now, Well, they're they're up towards the top. They're they're
1:08:27
close enough that it doesn't look like anything's coming to
1:08:29
stop them.
1:08:30
Speaker 3: I would think that we would back off a little bit,
1:08:35
like back towards the exit.
1:08:38
Speaker 2: You guys start backing up towards the exit, He and
1:08:41
his small army of hands begin to follow you, so
1:08:46
it turns into a them chasing you up the stairs.
1:08:51
As you emerge, it is dark outside. The moon is
1:08:57
shining down. Now you're you're you're wearing this shining this
1:09:02
this mask.
1:09:03
Speaker 3: Uh huh.
1:09:05
Speaker 2: It begins to laugh, not you, the men's.
1:09:12
Speaker 3: The mask is hadkeed something.
1:09:16
Speaker 2: As the hands emerge and Slink with them, they hear
1:09:21
this laughter from everywhere, but also from you, and they're terrified.
1:09:29
Speaker 3: Probably a little nervous myself. My ears twitch.
1:09:32
Speaker 2: And at that point Tessa comes out. And when she emerges,
1:09:39
Slink gets this look of terror on his face and
1:09:42
dives back down the stairs. His hands follow him.
1:09:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Noel Wearing still points at the kiln that
1:09:54
girl has.
1:09:55
Speaker 2: Well, she takes the kiln. Inside there is a shard
1:10:01
of potts, and she says, she hands that to you.
1:10:05
Speaker 3: She says, I'll be on brought out some pots too.
1:10:08
Speaker 2: Yes, I'll be on brought out some pots. You can
1:10:11
sell those. But I'm going to go ahead, and now
1:10:16
I'm sure you're going to have both the mask and
1:10:18
the shard looked at later, so I will tell you
1:10:20
what each does. The mask is called the Mask of
1:10:23
the Hollow, jests nice. It laps in the moonlight all
1:10:27
by itself. Anyone not familiar with that laughter needs to
1:10:32
make a saving throw or they will be struck with fear.
1:10:36
It also, while while you wear it, gives you an
1:10:40
advantage on one deception or performance check per day, so
1:10:47
it's called the Mask of the Hollow jest nice. The
1:10:50
other is a is a shard of glaze fire. It
1:10:55
casts fairy fire once per long rest, and it glows
1:11:00
near anyone who's being deceptive.
1:11:03
Speaker 3: Righty, wow?
1:11:06
Speaker 5: Is that the age of heart?
1:11:07
Speaker 3: Does that bring us to the end of this adventure?
1:11:10
Speaker 2: I guess that does bring you to the end of
1:11:13
this adventure. You are five hundred gold richer.
1:11:17
Speaker 3: Yes, kay, good job.
1:11:20
Speaker 2: And uh Riordan's wound heals up fine. But you all
1:11:27
noticed that he has a shard of pottery under his skin,
1:11:30
now glowing faintly. Not even Tessen knows why it's there,
1:11:35
and no one can seem to remove it.
1:11:38
Speaker 3: See good to know who will think you.
