- 0:35SPEAKER_01: Let's head into the adventure.
- 0:41SPEAKER_01: Welcome, fellow adventurers, nerds and neurodivergents.
- 0:44SPEAKER_01: Sit back, stay hydrated and prepare yourselves for tonight's adventure.
- 0:49Last we left off,
- 0:50secondhand souls had arrived in an underground area of some
- 0:56kind.
- 0:57SPEAKER_01: They were unsure of exactly where they had ended up, but
- 1:03SPEAKER_01: They could tell from the lack of light that it was at least underground.
- 1:07SPEAKER_01: They cautiously moved forward and found some hints of odd,
- 1:12SPEAKER_01: nefarious activity throughout these interconnected chambers,
- 1:17SPEAKER_01: through which Joachim triggered a trap,
- 1:20SPEAKER_01: which activated a portal near where they originally appeared.
- 1:24SPEAKER_01: Through this portal,
- 1:24they saw a familiar but unfamiliar hooded figure and a few
- 1:31massive creatures behind
- 1:32SPEAKER_01: said figure.
- 1:35They worked together to explode and seal this hallway to slow
- 1:38down these intruders
- 1:40SPEAKER_01: while they made haste to find an exit.
- 1:45Traka guarded their rear while Yenor,
- 1:48Wakim,
- 1:48and Deedle scouted for an exit.
- 1:51SPEAKER_01: While doing so,
- 1:52Wakim triggered another trap and had gotten sealed within a
- 1:56room that had an
- 1:57SPEAKER_01: unknown speaking entity in a chalice.
- 2:02SPEAKER_01: Lala stepped in to free him and absorb the chalice with Nosferatu.
- 2:07They eventually all make it out of this basement and find
- 2:09themselves in the middle of an arena.
- 2:12SPEAKER_01: Here,
- 2:13SPEAKER_01: they met Commander Gilrayal,
- 2:15SPEAKER_01: a loosely dressed orc in a loincloth,
- 2:18SPEAKER_01: boots,
- 2:19SPEAKER_01: and shoulder pads.
- 2:21SPEAKER_01: He challenged them to a duel in lieu of them getting arrested.
- 2:26SPEAKER_01: Upon winning that duel,
- 2:27SPEAKER_01: they were able to finally get introduced to General Malachi,
- 2:32SPEAKER_01: who had his friend,
- 2:33SPEAKER_01: Counselor Pendragon,
- 2:34SPEAKER_01: with him.
- 2:35They were granted a meeting for the full council,
- 2:39but had to wait until the next day to do so.
- 2:45They are currently now being escorted from the outskirts of the
- 2:49city to the city
- 2:50SPEAKER_01: and eventually to where they will be staying at least for the night.
- 3:00SPEAKER_01: That's the wrong one.
- 3:01SPEAKER_01: We are gonna do... Good morning!
- 3:12SPEAKER_01: As you guys leave, you're being escorted out of the arena, the Colosseum.
- 3:21SPEAKER_01: And it looks like surrounding this area is farmland.
- 3:49SPEAKER_01: And then for you, Lala, I shared the player map that I have up.
- 4:03SPEAKER_03: Thank you.
- 4:03SPEAKER_01: And Discord.
- 4:07SPEAKER_01: So you guys are walking through the celestial fields.
- 4:16SPEAKER_01: Right now... The area... That's the area on the map.
- 4:20SPEAKER_01: It looks like there's a bunch of farmland and...
- 4:23SPEAKER_01: Livestock around and...
- 4:25SPEAKER_01: You're passing a lot of...
- 4:28SPEAKER_01: Very...
- 4:29SPEAKER_01: Rough looking...
- 4:31SPEAKER_01: Field workers.
- 4:36SPEAKER_01: You're being escorted by...
- 4:39General Malachi and Counselor Pendragon as well as a couple of
- 4:42their guards
- 4:42SPEAKER_01: flanking you.
- 4:44SPEAKER_01: You also...
- 4:46feel that you are all being watched from afar these field
- 4:55workers prisoners more so
- 5:00like they don't just have these physical guards next to you
- 5:07there are hidden guards
- 5:11SPEAKER_01: in the fields
- 5:19SPEAKER_03: There are real protective other produce around here.
- 5:22SPEAKER_01: It's not the produce that we got to worry about out here.
- 5:32SPEAKER_01: It's what the produce attracts.
- 5:42SPEAKER_03: Mites?
- 5:45SPEAKER_03: Invasive species?
- 5:48SPEAKER_03: Weevils.
- 5:49SPEAKER_01: Thieves.
- 5:52SPEAKER_03: Oh.
- 5:53SPEAKER_03: Oh, there's no thieves around here.
- 5:54SPEAKER_03: I've never seen a thief near our group.
- 6:01SPEAKER_01: General Malachi just kind of gives you a look.
- 6:08SPEAKER_01: She smiles.
- 6:13SPEAKER_03: She grins extra big at him.
- 6:18SPEAKER_01: Do people really try to steal raw veggies?
- 6:25SPEAKER_00: Well,
- 6:25if any of those creatures came over to their fields and ate the
- 6:28food that they're
- 6:31SPEAKER_01: growing,
- 6:32SPEAKER_01: then they would be stealing it.
- 6:33SPEAKER_01: So, I mean, humans, I don't know, but creatures, definitely.
- 6:39SPEAKER_03: Baby, that's the tactic around here.
- 6:41SPEAKER_03: Is that it, General?
- 6:43SPEAKER_03: To keep the peasants...
- 6:45SPEAKER_03: constipated with lack of fiber and they're easier to control.
- 6:53You see the gem dragonborn that's next to him kind of chuckle a
- 6:58little bit before
- 6:59SPEAKER_01: Malachi kind of smacks him on the chest a little bit.
- 7:06SPEAKER_01: Well, no one's constipated.
- 7:10Well,
- 7:10I can't say no one's constipated,
- 7:12but we are not making people constipated.
- 7:20SPEAKER_01: There is a very large black market,
- 7:23SPEAKER_01: as I'm sure you all are probably aware of from one instance or another,
- 7:30SPEAKER_01: as you've all probably had some dealings on some end of the black market.
- 7:44I can't say that I've ever wandered through the black market
- 7:46and spotted some strawberries.
- 7:51SPEAKER_03: That's usually front market stuff in the sunshine.
- 7:57SPEAKER_03: Unless you're not growing just strawberries around here, General.
- 8:06SPEAKER_03: Side eye.
- 8:14SPEAKER_01: I'm not in charge of the agriculture.
- 8:16SPEAKER_01: I'm just in charge of the security.
- 8:22SPEAKER_01: I'm not entirely sure what all we grow out here, actually.
- 8:25SPEAKER_03: If I were you, I'd have some questions about strong-arming the produce.
- 8:35SPEAKER_03: But what do I know?
- 8:36SPEAKER_03: I'm just a humble fig.
- 8:37SPEAKER_03: We...
- 8:43SPEAKER_01: The dragonborn speaks out.
- 8:44SPEAKER_01: We don't... There's no strong-arming out.
- 8:47SPEAKER_01: We don't have to strong-arm anything.
- 8:49He picks a mushroom off of himself and just kind of starts
- 8:54munching on it as you're walking.
- 8:56SPEAKER_03: Well, yeah, you're a big wig.
- 8:58SPEAKER_03: But if I... He leans out to, like, grab... Snatch something up.
- 9:07SPEAKER_01: Dexterity check.
- 9:10SPEAKER_03: Oh, fuck.
- 9:10SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 9:15SPEAKER_03: I was unprepared.
- 9:16SPEAKER_01: What's sleight of hand for you?
- 9:22SPEAKER_01: You have the experience to do so.
- 9:24SPEAKER_03: Oh, okay.
- 9:27SPEAKER_01: Well, that would be plus your proficiency.
- 9:29SPEAKER_01: So 15 plus, what do you have, 4?
- 9:34SPEAKER_03: No, that was plus, I got an 11.
- 9:36SPEAKER_03: And then it was plus the 4, so it's 15.
- 9:37Well,
- 9:384 is your dexterity,
- 9:39but if you're proficient with sleight of hand,
- 9:41are you not?
- 9:42SPEAKER_03: Oh, but I didn't do sleight of hand yet.
- 9:46SPEAKER_03: No, my sleight of hand is plus eight.
- 9:48SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so just add another four to that.
- 9:50SPEAKER_01: Or you could reroll.
- 9:51SPEAKER_01: That's fine, too.
- 9:53SPEAKER_03: Sixteen.
- 9:54SPEAKER_01: Sixteen.
- 9:56SPEAKER_03: Indeed.
- 9:56SPEAKER_01: You reach out and you grab some type of grain.
- 10:06SPEAKER_00: Boo.
- 10:06SPEAKER_00: Boo.
- 10:09SPEAKER_01: Is what is right near in your vicinity.
- 10:12SPEAKER_01: Hey, now that's not going to fill you up.
- 10:16SPEAKER_01: You want one of these?
- 10:16SPEAKER_01: And... Counselor Pendragon picks a mushroom off and offers it to you.
- 10:24SPEAKER_03: What am I?
- 10:26SPEAKER_03: A shrew?
- 10:26SPEAKER_03: That's not going to fill me up either.
- 10:29SPEAKER_01: I'm sure it'll do you just fine.
- 10:33SPEAKER_03: Don't pocket it.
- 10:36SPEAKER_01: You have...
- 10:38SPEAKER_01: one mysterious mushroom.
- 10:40SPEAKER_01: You are not sure what it does.
- 10:41SPEAKER_03: You can come across any of those black market strawberries.
- 10:44SPEAKER_03: I want some of those.
- 10:56There's some buildings coming up as you're walking and you see
- 10:59this massive wall
- 11:03SPEAKER_01: behind the buildings.
- 11:06Like maybe a small cluster of buildings as you're walking up
- 11:09and then just this massive wall.
- 11:19Well,
- 11:21this is your last chance to change your minds and go live a
- 11:28quiet life somewhere.
- 11:36SPEAKER_03: I don't know anywhere we can go where we'd lead a quiet life.
- 11:42SPEAKER_02: My life's never been quiet.
- 11:51SPEAKER_01: You won't be on house arrest, you will be on city arrest.
- 11:55So you will not be able to lead through these gates again until
- 11:58we meet with the council.
- 12:02SPEAKER_00: There are merchants in this city, yes?
- 12:06SPEAKER_01: Oh, we have plenty of merchants.
- 12:08SPEAKER_01: We have plenty of trade.
- 12:09SPEAKER_01: What kinds?
- 12:10SPEAKER_01: All kinds of merchants.
- 12:11SPEAKER_01: We have guilds here.
- 12:15SPEAKER_01: I know you all are from the Onyx Accord,
- 12:17SPEAKER_01: a very prominent guild,
- 12:20SPEAKER_01: but we have other guilds here as well.
- 12:23I think the Onyx Accord got a little too big for its own good
- 12:33as per the reports.
- 12:38SPEAKER_01: We're handling it, okay?
- 12:40SPEAKER_01: We're dealing.
- 12:42SPEAKER_01: Trying to.
- 12:44SPEAKER_01: Wait a minute, we're getting arrested in here?
- 12:47SPEAKER_01: You are not... You are not arrested.
- 12:50SPEAKER_03: Arrested?
- 12:53SPEAKER_01: You are also not standing trial.
- 12:56SPEAKER_01: But you all are a flight risk.
- 13:01I am not convening the council for you to just not be here in
- 13:06the morning.
- 13:10SPEAKER_01: Remind me why we're a flight risk?
- 13:13SPEAKER_01: I mean, one of us literally has wings.
- 13:16SPEAKER_01: You somehow got off of an imploding airship that destroyed a city.
- 13:24SPEAKER_03: We didn't implode it.
- 13:27SPEAKER_01: You somehow escaped a port that was getting bombarded.
- 13:33SPEAKER_01: You escaped another port that was getting bombarded.
- 13:36That's two ports that you escaped that were both getting
- 13:39bombarded by the same
- 13:40group of people because you escaped Pirate Port City while it
- 13:47was on fire.
- 13:48SPEAKER_03: My man.
- 13:49And then the Honest Accord gets turned on its head and look at
- 13:56where you guys are.
- 13:57SPEAKER_01: Oh, you escaped again.
- 14:02SPEAKER_03: Do you see?
- 14:02SPEAKER_03: Do you see way over there?
- 14:06SPEAKER_03: That thing kind of looks like a puppy, kind of looks like a fish.
- 14:10SPEAKER_03: As well as that derpy thing over there on your Nord.
- 14:13SPEAKER_03: It's got three eyeballs for no good reason.
- 14:17SPEAKER_01: Right now, Bestin only has two eyeballs.
- 14:20SPEAKER_01: He looks like a normal bird.
- 14:22SPEAKER_03: I assure you there's a third eye.
- 14:24SPEAKER_03: Just trust me on it.
- 14:26SPEAKER_03: Point being, is that one doesn't know its own leg from its food dish.
- 14:32SPEAKER_03: And they also escaped.
- 14:34SPEAKER_01: You see it starts chewing on its tail as it's walking.
- 14:37SPEAKER_03: That's puppy fish.
- 14:43I feel like you're probably not collecting the correct data
- 14:48surrounding those who
- 14:50SPEAKER_03: have also escaped.
- 14:51SPEAKER_03: It wasn't just us.
- 14:52SPEAKER_03: I blatantly saw rocks and debris and other animals and people.
- 15:00SPEAKER_03: We are all remarkably self-efficient.
- 15:09SPEAKER_03: What's his face?
- 15:09SPEAKER_03: The guy with the hat.
- 15:10I mean,
- 15:11he made it out of at least two,
- 15:12three of those scrapes along with us.
- 15:15SPEAKER_03: Don't I still have his hat on?
- 15:17SPEAKER_01: You do.
- 15:20SPEAKER_03: Not her with the hat.
- 15:21SPEAKER_03: The original hat owner.
- 15:22SPEAKER_01: You're not entirely sure if they recognize that hat.
- 15:28SPEAKER_01: I feel like they'd have said something.
- 15:30SPEAKER_01: Or they think I killed him.
- 15:33SPEAKER_03: And took the hat.
- 15:37SPEAKER_03: It's a magical hat situation.
- 15:39SPEAKER_03: He did the rabbit trick.
- 15:41SPEAKER_03: We thought we could put him in.
- 15:42SPEAKER_03: He disappeared.
- 15:43SPEAKER_03: It's a whole thing.
- 15:43SPEAKER_03: We'll get him out eventually.
- 15:46SPEAKER_01: We know that his former party minus Lady Wren are missing.
- 15:58SPEAKER_01: We are aware of this.
- 16:02SPEAKER_01: That's part of why I am convening the council.
- 16:05SPEAKER_01: They refuse to discuss these situations.
- 16:08SPEAKER_01: Your arrival just happened to give me a reason to expedite that meeting.
- 16:15SPEAKER_01: I'll drag him in.
- 16:17SPEAKER_00: What's their address?
- 16:18SPEAKER_01: I'll go right now.
- 16:20I would highly advise against that if you don't want an arrow
- 16:24through your head.
- 16:26SPEAKER_01: I'm pretty evasive.
- 16:27SPEAKER_01: What's their address?
- 16:28SPEAKER_01: Let's go.
- 16:30SPEAKER_01: There are two of them that...
- 16:32SPEAKER_01: Hey guys,
- 16:33SPEAKER_01: quick reminder to leave a like,
- 16:35SPEAKER_01: a comment,
- 16:36SPEAKER_01: and don't forget to follow or subscribe to us.
- 16:39SPEAKER_01: Thanks!
- 16:40SPEAKER_01: ...that are part of our scouting party.
- 16:46SPEAKER_01: They are also evasive.
- 16:51SPEAKER_01: One in your party is familiar with two of them.
- 16:57SPEAKER_03: Yeah?
- 16:58SPEAKER_01: Deedle, he kind of gives you a look.
- 17:03SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna raise my brow, Adam.
- 17:06SPEAKER_03: Nod my head.
- 17:16SPEAKER_03: Dee, don't be clear with us.
- 17:17SPEAKER_03: Is he on some bullshit right now?
- 17:18SPEAKER_03: No, he's not.
- 17:22I don't know,
- 17:27this all feels very bullshittery since the moment we entered
- 17:30this farmer's field.
- 17:32SPEAKER_03: I mean, who surrounds a wall with a farm?
- 17:36SPEAKER_01: You're not wrong.
- 17:37SPEAKER_01: Farms on the outside of the wall.
- 17:41SPEAKER_03: Yeah, who surrounds a wall with a farm?
- 17:44SPEAKER_01: It's only on this side of this wall.
- 17:46SPEAKER_03: You put the wall out around the farm.
- 17:49SPEAKER_03: Especially if you don't want people robbing from it.
- 17:52SPEAKER_03: They don't even know how fucking walls work.
- 17:58SPEAKER_01: I assure you.
- 18:00SPEAKER_03: The walls are to protect the rich and keep out the peasants.
- 18:04SPEAKER_03: The peasants are the farmers.
- 18:05SPEAKER_01: That's not how we operate here.
- 18:11SPEAKER_01: We have plenty of farmers within the walls as we do outside the walls.
- 18:17SPEAKER_02: Then why is the wall here?
- 18:18SPEAKER_02: Move it.
- 18:19You try defending a wall that is twice the acreage of what it
- 18:25is currently.
- 18:27SPEAKER_01: We don't have the manpower.
- 18:31Maybe you'd have more manpower if you moved the wall and you
- 18:34could build more houses.
- 18:37SPEAKER_01: We actually wouldn't.
- 18:42SPEAKER_01: We wouldn't have the manpower.
- 18:48SPEAKER_01: Most of our manpower has been deployed to the borders currently.
- 18:56SPEAKER_01: As the...
- 18:59Glitvaultian Confederacy and the Falderians and the Ashanians
- 19:05play who's going to
- 19:05SPEAKER_01: cross my border first.
- 19:11SPEAKER_02: How fun.
- 19:13SPEAKER_01: Being a neutral party, we are trying to prevent another conflict.
- 19:23SPEAKER_01: We also can't cross our border.
- 19:26I don't understand what evidence they won't expect us to prove
- 19:31in terms of,
- 19:32SPEAKER_03: hey,
- 19:34SPEAKER_03: we didn't do a thing and we just happened to live through some bad shit.
- 19:40SPEAKER_03: Lots of people have.
- 19:43SPEAKER_03: What kind of defense can we mount against this?
- 19:47SPEAKER_01: You're not being accused of anything.
- 19:50SPEAKER_01: So there's no reason for defense.
- 19:53SPEAKER_01: This is for you to...
- 19:56formally request the assistance that you are looking for i
- 19:59don't know i'm feeling
- 20:05pretty persecuted these days so we may be able to set you up
- 20:13with some of our
- 20:15guilds or merchants to get some of your stuff offloaded i'm
- 20:22sure you have plenty of
- 20:25SPEAKER_01: Wares that need new homes.
- 20:31SPEAKER_01: More wares that need repaired.
- 20:36As you so kindly pointed out,
- 20:38we barely made it out of several places by the skin of our
- 20:42teeth.
- 20:42SPEAKER_03: We won't exactly have a house on the back.
- 20:45SPEAKER_03: Or a boat and a ring or something.
- 20:49SPEAKER_01: That's a very specific example.
- 20:54SPEAKER_03: You see a house on my back?
- 21:01SPEAKER_02: I pat my back.
- 21:06SPEAKER_03: All right, never mind him.
- 21:07SPEAKER_03: Don't look over there.
- 21:13You guys walk through the various like farmhouses and other
- 21:21buildings as they
- 21:22SPEAKER_01: become a little more dense closer to the wall and you get up to the gate.
- 21:34SPEAKER_01: Now, I hope you all have some form of identification.
- 21:37SPEAKER_01: Do the lantana badges count?
- 22:00SPEAKER_01: It'll work for now.
- 22:07SPEAKER_01: to get you formal identification, though.
- 22:13SPEAKER_03: Everywhere you go,
- 22:14SPEAKER_03: they want papers,
- 22:15SPEAKER_03: as if it's not the flimsiest stuff you could possibly put something on.
- 22:18SPEAKER_03: Not really.
- 22:29SPEAKER_01: You all are led in through the city gates.
- 22:38SPEAKER_01: And there is a lot of commotion around this area.
- 22:54SPEAKER_01: Yeah, there's a lot of people.
- 23:06Are they commotioning about a particular thing or is it just
- 23:10bustling city life?
- 23:12SPEAKER_01: Some of it seems like bustling city life.
- 23:14SPEAKER_01: Some of it seems like there's something going on.
- 23:29Are you going to try to listen through the chaos to see if you
- 23:33can determine what is happening?
- 23:36SPEAKER_03: Yeah, dropping hearing.
- 23:41SPEAKER_03: We're nosy.
- 23:42SPEAKER_03: What's up?
- 23:44So each of you can make a perception check if you would like to
- 23:50try and listen in
- 23:51SPEAKER_01: on what's happening.
- 23:59One can add an inspiration back on their sheet because,
- 24:01you know,
- 24:01I rolled a natural 20.
- 24:07SPEAKER_03: 16.
- 24:12SPEAKER_03: This is crazy.
- 24:13SPEAKER_03: I get to see all of y'all's dice, which has never happened before.
- 24:18SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it is pretty cool.
- 24:32SPEAKER_01: So on one side of the... there's...
- 24:36soldiers on both sides of this pathway creating a sort of
- 24:40barricade type deal.
- 24:45On one side there's a bunch of people shouting and on the other
- 24:47side there's a
- 24:48SPEAKER_01: bunch of people shouting and people have a bunch of signs and things.
- 24:59One side you notice is particularly full of humanoids that
- 25:04aren't primordial
- 25:06SPEAKER_01: in lineage.
- 25:11SPEAKER_01: Like your humans, your elves, your dwarves, bugbears.
- 25:25SPEAKER_01: Different humanoids.
- 25:27Your other side is filled with humanoids that are of primordial
- 25:33descendant.
- 25:41SPEAKER_03: What the fuck is this segregation?
- 25:44SPEAKER_01: What did the signs say?
- 25:47SPEAKER_01: Some of the signs are saying...
- 25:56SPEAKER_01: On the humanoid side,
- 25:59SPEAKER_01: they're going about equal treatment,
- 26:01SPEAKER_01: equal rights.
- 26:04SPEAKER_01: Some are saying that there have been
- 26:08SPEAKER_01: unequally enforce rules and laws against them,
- 26:12SPEAKER_01: not necessarily in the city of Keldis,
- 26:15SPEAKER_01: but internationally.
- 26:17Keldis is just the area in which international issues can be
- 26:22brought if it's not
- 26:23SPEAKER_01: dealt with in this particular government.
- 26:30SPEAKER_01: The other side is showing
- 26:42SPEAKER_01: that they're fighting against crime.
- 26:43SPEAKER_01: And they're just shouting back and forth at each other.
- 26:58SPEAKER_01: One side feels unfairly treated and the other side
- 27:04feels justified in this unfair treatment due to the increased
- 27:08crime rates,
- 27:08SPEAKER_01: which you know you would know across the board there have been.
- 27:13SPEAKER_01: Increasing crime rates.
- 27:19SPEAKER_03: It's true.
- 27:20SPEAKER_03: A primordial being has never committed a crime.
- 27:30SPEAKER_01: General Malachi.
- 27:33SPEAKER_01: Nothing from any of you.
- 27:34SPEAKER_01: I don't need you all riling up this crowd.
- 27:39SPEAKER_01: Oh, but she's really good at it.
- 27:40SPEAKER_01: The best thing I need is a riot.
- 27:43SPEAKER_01: No.
- 27:48SPEAKER_01: I get a riot.
- 27:49SPEAKER_01: Everyone gets put on house arrest.
- 27:52SPEAKER_02: Oh.
- 27:55SPEAKER_01: By that you mean city arrest, right?
- 27:57SPEAKER_01: House arrest.
- 27:59SPEAKER_01: We don't have a house here.
- 28:00SPEAKER_01: We don't have a house.
- 28:02SPEAKER_03: Say, do we get to stay at your house?
- 28:04SPEAKER_03: Tall, dark, and sour?
- 28:06SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it'd be called jail.
- 28:10SPEAKER_03: Oh.
- 28:11SPEAKER_03: That's kind of cold.
- 28:13SPEAKER_01: We're too pretty for that.
- 28:15SPEAKER_01: For disorderly conduct.
- 28:19SPEAKER_01: Again, I say we're too pretty for that.
- 28:25SPEAKER_03: It's true.
- 28:27SPEAKER_03: Does your prison have lash extensions?
- 28:32SPEAKER_01: People begin throwing fruit at each other.
- 28:37SPEAKER_03: No, not the fruit!
- 28:40SPEAKER_03: There's your strawberries!
- 28:49SPEAKER_03: They bring the guards in from the regular fruit.
- 28:52SPEAKER_03: Bring them in here to protect this fruit.
- 28:58SPEAKER_01: It seems...
- 29:00The appearance of you all with two of the counselors was enough
- 29:05to rile up the crowd.
- 29:09SPEAKER_01: And they begin yelling at the counselors.
- 29:12SPEAKER_01: A bunch of them are like, who are these guys?
- 29:17SPEAKER_01: What are you doing with that?
- 29:18SPEAKER_01: Why are you escorting them?
- 29:19SPEAKER_01: Other side's like, yeah, why is she with the humans?
- 29:26SPEAKER_01: Maybe we should carry on.
- 29:28SPEAKER_01: Pointing at Lala, because Lala's a jossie.
- 29:32SPEAKER_01: So some of the performers are like, why is she with them?
- 29:33SPEAKER_01: She should be with us.
- 29:34SPEAKER_01: Yeah, she's a traitor.
- 29:35SPEAKER_01: And they start yelling at you, Lala, that you're a traitor.
- 29:38SPEAKER_03: Come on, Lala.
- 29:39SPEAKER_03: Ignore them.
- 29:41SPEAKER_03: We should go.
- 29:43SPEAKER_03: Let's go shopping.
- 29:44SPEAKER_03: Come on.
- 29:46SPEAKER_03: Primordials should know better than to point.
- 29:49SPEAKER_03: It's rude.
- 29:52SPEAKER_03: It's okay.
- 29:52SPEAKER_03: They're just ignorant, that's all.
- 29:55SPEAKER_03: Let's go shopping.
- 29:57You see General Malachi stops,
- 30:00and he holds his hand up,
- 30:02and your movement stops.
- 30:09SPEAKER_01: As you're just standing there, and he takes a deep breath.
- 30:13You can almost feel the air going into his lungs,
- 30:18and he just unleashes...
- 30:23SPEAKER_01: Roar.
- 30:26SPEAKER_01: Of fire.
- 30:28SPEAKER_01: Into the air.
- 30:28SPEAKER_01: I'm going to duck down a little bit.
- 30:38SPEAKER_01: Away from everyone.
- 30:39SPEAKER_01: But silence.
- 30:42SPEAKER_01: The crowd stops.
- 30:43SPEAKER_03: That's one way to tell everybody to shut up.
- 30:53SPEAKER_01: Disband now.
- 30:56SPEAKER_01: This is no longer a peaceful protest.
- 31:00SPEAKER_01: From either side,
- 31:01SPEAKER_01: I had approved this protest,
- 31:04SPEAKER_01: and neither of you are behaving like civilized individuals.
- 31:08SPEAKER_01: Disband before I lock you in your houses.
- 31:13SPEAKER_03: Nobody should ever use...
- 31:19SPEAKER_01: You see both sides are just staring.
- 31:24SPEAKER_01: Some people are staring.
- 31:25Some of the kids that were dragged in the crowd are like,
- 31:28you just breathe.
- 31:31SPEAKER_01: I breathe if I just hear some of the kids that are close to the edge.
- 31:35SPEAKER_01: How do we breathe fire?
- 31:38SPEAKER_01: Let's try eating a really spicy pepper when we get home.
- 31:44SPEAKER_03: Why are the fire Genasi impressed by this?
- 31:48SPEAKER_01: And then you see the other side kind of just grumbling,
- 31:51but the guards have now drawn their weapons that were standing
- 31:54at the sides,
- 31:55SPEAKER_01: half drawn.
- 32:00SPEAKER_01: And they begin disbanding what should have been a peaceful protest,
- 32:04SPEAKER_01: but was turning into conflict.
- 32:14SPEAKER_01: Been a while since I've had to pull that one out.
- 32:17SPEAKER_03: That was a good one.
- 32:19SPEAKER_03: It's a good one, buddy.
- 32:22SPEAKER_03: Do you need tea?
- 32:26SPEAKER_01: I just... I need a breather for a second.
- 32:29SPEAKER_01: It's hard on... Hard on an older man.
- 32:35SPEAKER_03: Hard on the lungs.
- 32:36SPEAKER_03: Let's look at my screen.
- 32:41SPEAKER_01: Counselor of Pentragon just kind of puts his hand on your back.
- 32:46SPEAKER_01: On his back.
- 32:47SPEAKER_01: Hey, hey.
- 32:48SPEAKER_01: You want a mushroom?
- 32:49SPEAKER_01: It'll make you feel better.
- 32:50SPEAKER_01: Get out of here with your damn mushrooms.
- 32:54SPEAKER_03: This man needs ice cream.
- 32:58SPEAKER_03: Probably with sprinkles.
- 33:00SPEAKER_03: The severity.
- 33:02SPEAKER_03: With haste.
- 33:04SPEAKER_03: Where's your nearest ice cream shop?
- 33:07SPEAKER_01: We're going to get you to where you will be staying.
- 33:09SPEAKER_03: Don't put on a brave face for me, General.
- 33:14SPEAKER_01: There are some food vendors around where you are staying.
- 33:19SPEAKER_01: as well as some shops.
- 33:24Right now,
- 33:26you are my guests,
- 33:28and I am determined to get you there peacefully.
- 33:32SPEAKER_03: That's going to be hard with me on the fucking bandwagon.
- 33:37SPEAKER_01: By the way, why are you traveling with a child?
- 33:44SPEAKER_01: And he looks at the little girl that just kind of petting Poppy.
- 33:49SPEAKER_03: We found it.
- 33:51SPEAKER_03: Finders keepers.
- 33:53SPEAKER_03: Oh, I know!
- 33:55SPEAKER_01: She turns around and gives you a look like... I'm sorry.
- 34:00SPEAKER_01: Did you just admit to kidnapping?
- 34:06SPEAKER_03: It's not kidnapping if you find her in the ocean.
- 34:09SPEAKER_03: She was adrift.
- 34:13SPEAKER_03: Keepers.
- 34:17SPEAKER_03: No part of that
- 34:19SPEAKER_03: This is kidnapping.
- 34:23SPEAKER_01: How far in the ocean?
- 34:24SPEAKER_01: And it drooped on what?
- 34:26SPEAKER_03: A piece of wood?
- 34:30SPEAKER_03: A barrel.
- 34:31SPEAKER_03: A barrel.
- 34:38SPEAKER_01: So you just didn't turn her into the authorities?
- 34:43SPEAKER_00: We haven't been anywhere.
- 34:44SPEAKER_00: She says she was with the Iron Hand.
- 34:49SPEAKER_03: To be fair,
- 34:50SPEAKER_03: I don't know if you've met the authorities,
- 34:52SPEAKER_03: but a lot of them aren't exactly the unshadiest of folks.
- 34:59SPEAKER_03: Unlike us, paragons of society.
- 35:13I guess technically,
- 35:14Investigator Greybreeze is a form of the authorities...
- 35:19SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
- 35:22SPEAKER_01: Seeing as you haven't had luck in any of the cities you've been in.
- 35:28SPEAKER_03: Also, a lesbian.
- 35:29SPEAKER_03: You know how good they are with kids.
- 35:31SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
- 35:37SPEAKER_01: I'm great with children because of my sexual preferences.
- 35:41SPEAKER_01: Thanks, Lala.
- 35:43SPEAKER_03: You're welcome.
- 35:43SPEAKER_03: That's why they put men's in all the orphanages.
- 35:58SPEAKER_01: He looks over to Counselor Pentagon.
- 36:00SPEAKER_01: Is this how we were when we were that?
- 36:05SPEAKER_00: No, we're much better looking.
- 36:08SPEAKER_01: Hey guys,
- 36:08SPEAKER_01: quick reminder to leave a like,
- 36:11SPEAKER_01: a comment,
- 36:12SPEAKER_01: and don't forget to follow or subscribe to us.
- 36:14SPEAKER_00: Thanks.
- 36:16SPEAKER_00: What do you mean by that?
- 36:20SPEAKER_01: I mean an adventuring party.
- 36:23SPEAKER_03: Oh.
- 36:25SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 36:26SPEAKER_01: Before we became important.
- 36:30SPEAKER_03: Are you suggesting you're not important?
- 36:34SPEAKER_03: Yet.
- 36:35SPEAKER_03: Yet.
- 36:36I am suggesting that your potential for importance has yet to
- 36:40cross paths with the
- 36:41SPEAKER_01: direction that you are going.
- 36:44SPEAKER_01: Speak for them, I'm already important.
- 36:47SPEAKER_01: Currently you're wanted.
- 36:49SPEAKER_01: Exactly, because I'm special.
- 36:52SPEAKER_01: Because you're a criminal.
- 36:55SPEAKER_01: You and I both know that I am not.
- 36:58That's why we are having this conversation and you are not in
- 37:02magical cuffs.
- 37:03SPEAKER_01: I am a goody princess.
- 37:07SPEAKER_03: There's a lot of back and forth with your,
- 37:09SPEAKER_03: we are criminals,
- 37:10SPEAKER_03: we aren't criminals,
- 37:11SPEAKER_03: we're wanted,
- 37:12SPEAKER_03: we're not wanted,
- 37:13SPEAKER_03: this is a trial,
- 37:14SPEAKER_03: it's not a trial.
- 37:15SPEAKER_03: You, I don't think you know where your path is going.
- 37:18SPEAKER_03: It's cause he's a man.
- 37:21SPEAKER_03: They never make up their mind.
- 37:22SPEAKER_01: My path's already gone.
- 37:24SPEAKER_01: I am at the end of my path.
- 37:27SPEAKER_01: Are you dead?
- 37:29SPEAKER_01: No, I just have no further advancement that needs to be done.
- 37:35SPEAKER_01: Now it's just helping others advance themselves.
- 37:40SPEAKER_03: We got kids?
- 37:41SPEAKER_03: Do you want one?
- 37:42SPEAKER_03: We found this one.
- 37:47SPEAKER_01: Right now we just need to get all of you to your lodging safely.
- 37:57W-Weren't you just talking about finders keepers,
- 37:59now you want to give her away?
- 38:00I mean,
- 38:04it's up to you whether you want to then keep it for what period
- 38:08of time.
- 38:09I'm just suggesting if the man's at the end of this rope,
- 38:11I could give him a family.
- 38:14I mean,
- 38:14not like from myself,
- 38:16but you know,
- 38:17through the exchange,
- 38:18possibly with tax receipt.
- 38:21SPEAKER_01: Ah, so we're going to human trafficking now.
- 38:26SPEAKER_03: We'll be up for debate whether that's a human or not.
- 38:31SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry?
- 38:32SPEAKER_03: I've known her longer than you, okay?
- 38:38SPEAKER_01: First, you say that pigeon has a third eye.
- 38:44SPEAKER_01: And now you're saying that child is not a human?
- 38:50SPEAKER_03: I mean, I'm not a human.
- 38:53SPEAKER_03: Most of our party is not humans.
- 38:56SPEAKER_01: It's a human child.
- 38:58SPEAKER_03: I don't know that.
- 38:59SPEAKER_03: You don't know that.
- 39:00SPEAKER_03: Once again, I have known her longer than you.
- 39:05SPEAKER_01: What is this about the Iron Hand?
- 39:08SPEAKER_00: She says she's with him.
- 39:12SPEAKER_00: His niece or something.
- 39:15SPEAKER_01: You kidnapped the niece of the Iron Hand.
- 39:20SPEAKER_01: Hey, Dee saved her from drowning.
- 39:26She would have been an unalived kid if I didn't get her off
- 39:29that barrel and bring
- 39:30SPEAKER_03: her in to safety.
- 39:31SPEAKER_00: We could have put her back in a barrel.
- 39:34SPEAKER_00: Would you prefer that?
- 39:35SPEAKER_00: She wouldn't.
- 39:41SPEAKER_01: Why didn't you just bring her to the Iron Hand?
- 39:47SPEAKER_03: Don't know where he is.
- 39:49SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
- 39:50SPEAKER_03: Who dat?
- 39:54SPEAKER_01: He's your employer.
- 39:57Yeah,
- 39:58but we're like on a business trip right now,
- 40:00if you haven't noticed.
- 40:03SPEAKER_01: The one extended business trip, according to the official records.
- 40:07SPEAKER_00: You know where he at?
- 40:08SPEAKER_01: You got a teleportation circle ready?
- 40:12SPEAKER_01: I know where he should be.
- 40:16SPEAKER_01: You and I both know he is never where he should be.
- 40:19SPEAKER_01: He's a little paranoid.
- 40:27Yeah,
- 40:27well,
- 40:27his niece was in the ocean,
- 40:29so...
- 40:30Are we sure that she is his niece?
- 40:34SPEAKER_03: She has memories of him.
- 40:37SPEAKER_03: We're as sure that she's his niece as we are that she's a human.
- 40:45SPEAKER_01: Which is not, you're not sure?
- 40:49SPEAKER_03: We have the word from the mouth of a child, so yeah.
- 40:56SPEAKER_03: I remember being a child.
- 40:57SPEAKER_03: I thought I was like a dog for probably a month and a half.
- 41:07SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 41:07SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 41:14SPEAKER_01: I don't even know where to go from here.
- 41:16SPEAKER_01: Why's your friend there been so quiet?
- 41:23SPEAKER_01: Any points at...
- 41:29SPEAKER_03: Joaquin, question mark?
- 41:32SPEAKER_03: Naka, question mark?
- 41:36SPEAKER_01: No, I've heard from him.
- 41:37SPEAKER_01: Your turtle friend's chimed in a couple of times,
- 41:39SPEAKER_01: but your other friend there hasn't really chimed in too much.
- 41:49SPEAKER_03: He's our captain.
- 41:50SPEAKER_03: He's too serious for our nonsense.
- 41:54SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
- 41:55SPEAKER_01: Captain of what ship?
- 41:59SPEAKER_00: Makeem Su from Su Sailing.
- 42:02SPEAKER_03: The ship in the ring, keep up!
- 42:10Well,
- 42:10they've been doing such a good job talking,
- 42:12I've just been enjoying listening.
- 42:16SPEAKER_01: The ship in the... What ring holds a ship?
- 42:20SPEAKER_01: What ship?
- 42:21SPEAKER_00: My ship!
- 42:23SPEAKER_01: Where is your ship?
- 42:26SPEAKER_01: There's no ocean!
- 42:29SPEAKER_01: Well, we left our shit back in the swamp, honestly.
- 42:33SPEAKER_01: So.
- 42:35SPEAKER_01: Don't even worry.
- 42:37SPEAKER_01: Well, that makes sense.
- 42:38SPEAKER_01: You're the first person to speak and make sense.
- 42:41SPEAKER_01: This whole time.
- 42:41SPEAKER_01: He kind of looks back at the rest of the group and just gives them each a
- 42:49SPEAKER_01: disapproving glare that your parents would give you.
- 42:53SPEAKER_01: Ew.
- 42:54SPEAKER_02: Ew.
- 43:01That is the first thing that has come out of someone's mouth in
- 43:03this group that has made sense.
- 43:06SPEAKER_01: You left your ship back in the swamp.
- 43:10SPEAKER_01: Oh, we couldn't teleport it here.
- 43:13SPEAKER_01: Makes sense.
- 43:16SPEAKER_01: But I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- 43:18SPEAKER_01: What else did you need to know that was confusing?
- 43:21SPEAKER_01: And then he just flashes a look at Lala.
- 43:26SPEAKER_01: He points at... Malachi points at the child...
- 43:32SPEAKER_01: Is that a human or is that not a human child?
- 43:42SPEAKER_00: Can I use my one day, once a day cast of True Scene?
- 43:51SPEAKER_01: Sure, if you want to.
- 43:52SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 43:57SPEAKER_01: Speaking of time, it's about like
- 44:03SPEAKER_01: You're approaching like lunchtime, afternoon time right now.
- 44:08SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 44:10SPEAKER_01: Because you did breakfast and then you teleported.
- 44:14SPEAKER_01: And you did the whole arena thing.
- 44:16SPEAKER_01: And now it's like you're approaching after lunch, afternoon.
- 44:22True seeing,
- 44:23again,
- 44:23you see all the stuff that you've gotten accustomed to seeing.
- 44:26SPEAKER_01: And she just looks like a child.
- 44:31SPEAKER_01: Just a child.
- 44:32SPEAKER_01: Nothing weird.
- 44:33SPEAKER_01: No weird auras.
- 44:36SPEAKER_01: No tendrils coming out from the ethereal plane or any other plane.
- 44:41SPEAKER_01: Just a child.
- 44:44SPEAKER_01: I look back to General Malachi.
- 44:46SPEAKER_01: That's just a child.
- 44:50SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 44:51SPEAKER_01: I mean, she was sure that she wasn't a child.
- 44:56SPEAKER_01: Or that she was a child.
- 44:59SPEAKER_01: One of those two.
- 45:01SPEAKER_03: Who said that?
- 45:03SPEAKER_03: Huh?
- 45:04SPEAKER_03: And then if I look at Ynor, what do I see?
- 45:10SPEAKER_01: You just see Ynor.
- 45:13SPEAKER_01: Maybe a little extra with true seeing.
- 45:15SPEAKER_01: You see like the holy radiant aura of celestial energy around her.
- 45:23SPEAKER_01: Nothing nefarious denoting the millions of eyes.
- 45:29SPEAKER_01: Oh,
- 45:29SPEAKER_01: up her left arm,
- 45:31you see just the outline of that dark tattoo that appeared with
- 45:38the eyeballs.
- 45:41But that's not giving off an aura,
- 45:43but you see the outline of the markings.
- 45:47Okay,
- 45:47but it doesn't look like her arm is covered in eyes or
- 45:49anything,
- 45:50does it?
- 45:51SPEAKER_01: No.
- 45:52SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 45:53SPEAKER_01: Okay, sorry, go ahead, Yenorah.
- 45:56SPEAKER_01: Akim, do you remember back in the cave when Zara was still around?
- 46:06SPEAKER_01: The cave with... where you all tried to almost ate those weird mushrooms?
- 46:12SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 46:14SPEAKER_01: Yeah, what about that cave?
- 46:16SPEAKER_01: Can you minor illusion what the little girl did when she was attacked?
- 46:27SPEAKER_01: Oh.
- 46:28SPEAKER_01: But that wasn't her her.
- 46:30SPEAKER_01: It was more like through her, wasn't it?
- 46:34SPEAKER_00: No, it was her.
- 46:37SPEAKER_00: She went to like zero hit points or something.
- 46:40SPEAKER_01: You...
- 46:42None of you have figured out if that was her her or something
- 46:46through her or
- 46:47SPEAKER_01: something else entirely.
- 46:49SPEAKER_00: It was connected to her and it happened to her.
- 46:52SPEAKER_00: And I feel like he should have that information.
- 46:56Yeah,
- 46:56but I'm telling you,
- 46:57I'm doing the thing and he motions with his eyes.
- 47:01SPEAKER_01: I see it all right now.
- 47:03SPEAKER_01: And she's just a little girl.
- 47:05SPEAKER_01: She's not looking at you while you're doing this, Joaquim.
- 47:12SPEAKER_01: So she's just kind of playing with Poppy.
- 47:15SPEAKER_01: And I glance over to her again.
- 47:18SPEAKER_01: Still just a little girl.
- 47:19SPEAKER_01: Nothing weird.
- 47:21SPEAKER_01: You just don't see her face right now.
- 47:24SPEAKER_00: Go look in her eyes.
- 47:26SPEAKER_01: I don't see her face right now?
- 47:29SPEAKER_01: No, because she's leaned over playing with Poppy's feathers.
- 47:35SPEAKER_01: So I'll kind of like whistle over to her.
- 47:37SPEAKER_01: Like, hey, little one.
- 47:48SPEAKER_03: He treats her like a dog and I get shit for how I talk to her.
- 47:54SPEAKER_01: Does she look over?
- 47:55SPEAKER_01: She looks over at you.
- 47:57SPEAKER_01: And what does her face look like?
- 48:02SPEAKER_01: Black muck.
- 48:10SPEAKER_01: Like her face is like there's no face.
- 48:13SPEAKER_01: It's just blackness and it's melting off of her face.
- 48:16SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 48:19SPEAKER_01: Oh.
- 48:22SPEAKER_01: And then I kind of tug on Malachi's arm.
- 48:25SPEAKER_01: Real quick, and I say... Yeah.
- 48:28SPEAKER_01: I may have... I may have... misspoke.
- 48:35SPEAKER_01: Um... That seems to be happening a lot with your group.
- 48:39SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 48:40SPEAKER_01: But I can back it up.
- 48:42SPEAKER_01: Because I got the eyes.
- 48:45SPEAKER_01: And... I mean, everyone has eyes, I hope.
- 48:47SPEAKER_01: I don't know, we have that one blind monk.
- 48:50SPEAKER_01: Don't be stupid.
- 48:53SPEAKER_01: I do the magic eye.
- 48:54SPEAKER_01: And these magic eyes are saying... She is something.
- 49:00SPEAKER_01: Am I sensing anything?
- 49:02SPEAKER_01: I'll also bust detect magic.
- 49:05SPEAKER_01: Do I sense anything off of her?
- 49:11SPEAKER_01: No, she's not giving off any magical energy.
- 49:15SPEAKER_01: But her face is black.
- 49:18SPEAKER_01: Is blackness and it's dripping off.
- 49:21SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 49:23SPEAKER_01: I...
- 49:25SPEAKER_01: Turn away from her.
- 49:26SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 49:27SPEAKER_01: With General Malachi.
- 49:28SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 49:29SPEAKER_01: And then I quickly... Minor illusion in my hand.
- 49:36SPEAKER_01: What I see when I look at her face.
- 49:42SPEAKER_01: Well, that's not good.
- 49:44SPEAKER_01: No, no, no.
- 49:45SPEAKER_01: That's not good at all.
- 49:47SPEAKER_01: Does she act like a child?
- 49:51SPEAKER_01: It does.
- 49:54she hasn't caused you any problems she hasn't tried to kill any
- 49:56of you define
- 49:59SPEAKER_01: problems the kind that are life-threatening I'm sorry?

- 50:38SPEAKER_01: It's just like big no symbol.
- 50:40SPEAKER_01: No, no.
- 50:41SPEAKER_01: Fuck the bird.
- 50:42SPEAKER_01: Birds.
- 50:43SPEAKER_01: Birds of fucking thing.

- 50:50it with my
- 50:52SPEAKER_01: Truesight before,
- 50:53SPEAKER_01: because I've seen that thing,
- 50:54SPEAKER_01: and it is...
- 50:57SPEAKER_01: Ah.
- 51:00SPEAKER_01: You guys picked up a couple of interesting companions.
- 51:06SPEAKER_01: Can you do the palm thing with Dessen real quick?
- 51:11SPEAKER_03: Just, like, slurp.
- 51:16SPEAKER_01: Sure, you can make a religion check.
- 51:21SPEAKER_01: Or wisdom check. 3020.
- 51:44SPEAKER_01: Your arm tingles.
- 51:45SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 51:46SPEAKER_01: Is that it?
- 51:46SPEAKER_01: It's just a little tinkly?
- 51:48SPEAKER_01: It didn't tingle before.
- 51:50SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 51:51SPEAKER_01: So that's new.
- 51:53SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 51:56SPEAKER_01: And I have the eyeball on my hand?
- 51:59SPEAKER_01: Oh, all the way up my arm.
- 52:01SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
- 52:02SPEAKER_01: Oh, god.
- 52:03SPEAKER_01: Oh.
- 52:07SPEAKER_01: You know, we're just gonna deadpan Atwakim.
- 52:09SPEAKER_03: What do I see when I'm looking at her now?
- 52:14SPEAKER_01: Well, you watched.
- 52:16SPEAKER_01: So she just has,
- 52:18SPEAKER_01: like everyone else,
- 52:19SPEAKER_01: she puts Thesson into her palm and you just see these eyeballs appear.
- 52:24SPEAKER_01: Joaquim, you see the outline of the tattoo glows that you can see.
- 52:32SPEAKER_01: It's not there.
- 52:33SPEAKER_01: It doesn't glow for anyone else, but you can see it.
- 52:37SPEAKER_01: And then you hear the tearing sound of skin.
- 52:44SPEAKER_01: As it's like in slow motion in eyeball forms.
- 52:48And then that same tearing sound and slow motion thing happens
- 52:52as they open up on her arm.
- 52:55SPEAKER_01: You just see Joaquin dry heaving.
- 53:04SPEAKER_01: And when you think it's done,
- 53:06SPEAKER_01: and you look back at her again,
- 53:08SPEAKER_01: you hear that same noise,
- 53:10SPEAKER_01: but in her forehead.
- 53:22SPEAKER_01: General Malachi looks... There's no bird.
- 53:28SPEAKER_01: You're a paladin.
- 53:29SPEAKER_01: You're a paladin.
- 53:37SPEAKER_00: I am.
- 53:38SPEAKER_01: Okay, so you see how she just said that's just a bird?
- 53:51no i said there is no bird but that's just a child i see and
- 54:01i'm guessing you guys
- 54:02don't know what you're dealing with i for one can say i have no
- 54:09clue at all um but
- 54:11i don't speak for the whole group we figured out what this one
- 54:15was was it like a
- 54:17SPEAKER_01: primorgie
- 54:23SPEAKER_01: type of energy he was giving off, yes.
- 54:26SPEAKER_00: No, we figured out what kind of bird he was.
- 54:28SPEAKER_00: He gives off primordial energy, but it was a primorgi or something.
- 54:32Well,
- 54:32yeah,
- 54:32that's just the general primordial infested animal of small
- 54:41stature as a primorgi.
- 54:46SPEAKER_03: Well, you know, luckily, there is no bird.
- 54:51SPEAKER_01: Joachim,
- 54:54SPEAKER_01: After that display,
- 54:58the black ichor that usually leaks off of Thesson is now
- 55:02leaking off of her arm and
- 55:04SPEAKER_01: her forehead.
- 55:07SPEAKER_01: Intermingling with the holy celestial energy.
- 55:14SPEAKER_01: You may want to just let that thing go.
- 55:16SPEAKER_01: I feel fine.
- 55:24SPEAKER_01: You don't look fine.
- 55:25SPEAKER_01: If you look at your arm, you really don't look fine.
- 55:29SPEAKER_01: In more ways than one.
- 55:32SPEAKER_01: I'm going to... Is Kaida there?
- 55:35SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Kaida is here.
- 55:37SPEAKER_01: Kaida?
- 55:37SPEAKER_01: Kaida?
- 55:38SPEAKER_01: I am going to explain...
- 55:39SPEAKER_01: I'm going to minor allusion to Kaida what I see,
- 55:42SPEAKER_01: since she knows that I've cast true seeing.
- 55:45SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 55:46SPEAKER_01: So I'm seeing it all.

- 57:24SPEAKER_01: I didn't expect to see that when I look back.
- 57:27SPEAKER_01: Have a mushroom.
- 57:30SPEAKER_01: He hands you a mushroom.
- 57:31SPEAKER_01: I'll take it.
- 57:32SPEAKER_01: I'll put it in my pocket.
- 57:33SPEAKER_01: No, you gotta eat it.
- 57:36SPEAKER_01: What does it do?
- 57:39SPEAKER_01: They're healing mushrooms.
- 57:41SPEAKER_01: I'm not sick.
- 57:43SPEAKER_01: They'll make you feel...
- 57:45SPEAKER_01: more rejuvenated.
- 57:45SPEAKER_01: I feel great right now.
- 57:47SPEAKER_01: I'll keep it for later, though.
- 57:49SPEAKER_01: You can feel even better.
- 57:50SPEAKER_01: It'll disappear later.
- 57:52SPEAKER_01: That one only lasts a few moments.
- 57:55SPEAKER_02: Oh, here.
- 57:56SPEAKER_02: I'll give it to someone else.
- 57:58SPEAKER_02: I don't need it.
- 57:59SPEAKER_02: I'm good.
- 58:00SPEAKER_01: Here.
- 58:02SPEAKER_01: Look at my hand.
- 58:03SPEAKER_01: Look at my hand.
- 58:05SPEAKER_02: She's gonna shut her eyes.
- 58:07SPEAKER_01: You need to make a wisdom saving throw.
- 58:19SPEAKER_03: 21.
- 58:19SPEAKER_03: Second.
- 58:30SPEAKER_01: You fail.
- 58:39SPEAKER_01: You feel this urge to eat the mushroom.
- 58:44SPEAKER_01: Can I fight the urge?
- 58:47SPEAKER_01: To your own detriment.
- 58:53SPEAKER_01: Can I step on it?
- 58:56SPEAKER_00: Sure.
- 58:58I'm gonna throw it down and like grind it into the road so it's
- 59:01like disintegrating.
- 59:04SPEAKER_01: Make an athletic check.
- 59:12SPEAKER_03: 16.
- 59:12SPEAKER_01: This mushroom is quite resilient and you end up tripping.
- 59:16SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 59:18SPEAKER_01: You catch yourself.
- 59:19SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 59:20SPEAKER_01: It's still on the ground.
- 59:22SPEAKER_03: Can I try to step on it again?
- 59:24SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna let it check with disadvantage.
- 59:42SPEAKER_02: Wrong thing.
- 59:47SPEAKER_03: And a hero pointed.
- 59:49SPEAKER_03: Oh, God.
- 59:51SPEAKER_03: They changed everything.
- 59:54SPEAKER_03: It's 16 again.
- 59:56SPEAKER_01: Same thing happens.
- 1:00:02SPEAKER_01: I really don't want to eat it.
- 1:00:07SPEAKER_01: I really don't want to.
- 1:00:10SPEAKER_01: You don't have my consent for this.
- 1:00:12SPEAKER_01: I'm going to send some healers to check out your condition later.
- 1:00:21SPEAKER_03: No, thank you.
- 1:00:24They're gonna come by anyway as part of your agreement to meet
- 1:00:30with the full council.
- 1:00:33SPEAKER_00: You're rude.
- 1:00:33SPEAKER_02: I really think you should eat that mushroom.
- 1:00:40SPEAKER_01: Can I take Thesson out?
- 1:00:42SPEAKER_03: Sure.
- 1:00:43SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:00:43SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna scoop that mushroom and hand it to Krakko.
- 1:00:53SPEAKER_01: He's back.
- 1:00:54SPEAKER_00: Okay, so he's back on my shoulder.
- 1:00:56SPEAKER_01: He has three eyes.
- 1:00:57SPEAKER_00: He has three eyes?
- 1:00:58SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:00:59SPEAKER_01: Uh-huh.
- 1:01:00SPEAKER_01: All your eyes are gone.
- 1:01:01SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:01:02SPEAKER_01: So I just have the black swirly tattoo on my arm?
- 1:01:04SPEAKER_01: No, you don't see that now.
- 1:01:06SPEAKER_01: Oh, it's gone?
- 1:01:07SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:01:09SPEAKER_00: Interesting.
- 1:01:10SPEAKER_01: Joaquim!
- 1:01:18SPEAKER_01: You still have a true side up.
- 1:01:21SPEAKER_01: I do.
- 1:01:23SPEAKER_01: So as she shoots Thessen out,
- 1:01:24SPEAKER_01: you see this,
- 1:01:26SPEAKER_01: her whole being lights up with this extra planar energy.
- 1:01:35And then you see a beam at her forehead and shoot down her left
- 1:01:41arm and out pops Thessen.
- 1:01:46SPEAKER_01: And then you see each eye socket slowly sew itself back shut.
- 1:01:52Just so I understand,
- 1:01:53it looks like a beam ejected Thesson out of her body?
- 1:01:57SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 1:02:00SPEAKER_01: And the beam came from above her?
- 1:02:03SPEAKER_01: No, in her forehead.
- 1:02:05SPEAKER_01: It came from in her forehead?
- 1:02:07SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 1:02:09Was there any sort of symbolism or physical manifestation that
- 1:02:15accompanied this?
- 1:02:17SPEAKER_01: Like that side of her body?
- 1:02:22SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry.
- 1:02:22SPEAKER_01: Well,
- 1:02:23SPEAKER_01: again,
- 1:02:23SPEAKER_01: like from what I saw,
- 1:02:26SPEAKER_01: because this seems very...
- 1:02:30SPEAKER_01: You saw...
- 1:02:33SPEAKER_01: There was no more Yenor for a split second.
- 1:02:36SPEAKER_01: It was like a flash of extra planar energy.
- 1:02:40SPEAKER_01: And then it condensed in her forehead and got out her arm.
- 1:02:48SPEAKER_01: Period.
- 1:02:49SPEAKER_01: On her shoulder.
- 1:02:54I'm just going to look at Thesson and I'm going to say to you,
- 1:02:56Nora,
- 1:02:57that bird dims your light.
- 1:03:02SPEAKER_01: You really shouldn't use it.
- 1:03:05SPEAKER_01: He's just a bird.
- 1:03:07SPEAKER_01: He didn't choose to be this way.
- 1:03:10SPEAKER_01: Not just a bird.
- 1:03:12SPEAKER_01: For a moment,
- 1:03:15SPEAKER_01: like a little more than a split second after that happens,
- 1:03:19SPEAKER_01: each eye socket is briefly without an eyeball before it says itself shut.
- 1:03:32SPEAKER_01: A minor illusionist to Kaida as well.
- 1:03:39SPEAKER_01: How about we just don't put Fesson inside of our own bodies?
- 1:03:42SPEAKER_01: It's not hurting me.
- 1:03:46SPEAKER_01: Yet.
- 1:03:48SPEAKER_03: Fesson wouldn't hurt me.
- 1:03:53SPEAKER_03: He tried to eat me all the time.
- 1:03:55SPEAKER_03: Well, that's you.
- 1:03:58SPEAKER_01: That's not me.
- 1:03:58SPEAKER_03: Fesson ate you once?
- 1:04:00SPEAKER_03: No.
- 1:04:01SPEAKER_01: No.
- 1:04:03SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:04:03SPEAKER_01: It tried to fight me.
- 1:04:05SPEAKER_02: You were hypnotized.
- 1:04:06SPEAKER_02: You didn't know.
- 1:04:09SPEAKER_01: Wasn't I communicating with what lives inside him?
- 1:04:13SPEAKER_01: No, there was one time you were completely hypnotized.
- 1:04:20SPEAKER_03: I'm sure he didn't mean it.
- 1:04:24SPEAKER_03: Just like he's just a bird.
- 1:04:27SPEAKER_01: He is just a bird.
- 1:04:30SPEAKER_03: That's not what I meant by that.
- 1:04:32SPEAKER_01: See, look, even Kraka said he's just a bird.
- 1:04:38SPEAKER_00: Directed to Malachi.
- 1:04:45SPEAKER_01: Right, just like that's just a child.
- 1:04:50Before we continue,
- 1:04:51does anyone have anything else that I need to be prepared for?
- 1:04:58SPEAKER_01: Does anyone speak to anything else regularly?
- 1:05:05SPEAKER_01: Does anything speak to any of you regularly?
- 1:05:13SPEAKER_00: Should I mention that I've gotten visions?
- 1:05:17SPEAKER_01: What kind of visions?
- 1:05:19SPEAKER_00: From my deity.
- 1:05:22SPEAKER_01: That's odd.
- 1:05:23SPEAKER_01: They usually don't intervene.
- 1:05:25SPEAKER_01: I told you I'm special.
- 1:05:27And she's going to do the thing where she puts both her hands
- 1:05:30underneath her chin.
- 1:05:36SPEAKER_03: You have weird dreams.
- 1:05:42SPEAKER_01: Kind of falls in the realm of visions.
- 1:05:49SPEAKER_01: Talking like, do any of you have objects that talk to you?
- 1:05:54SPEAKER_02: Oh, so many.
- 1:05:58SPEAKER_01: Oh, God.
- 1:05:58SPEAKER_01: That's a no.
- 1:06:02SPEAKER_03: Absolutely not.
- 1:06:06SPEAKER_00: I can't lie.
- 1:06:06SPEAKER_00: They see that I have... Why?
- 1:06:10Why do I feel like...
- 1:06:14Now she's the only one telling the truth about objects talking.
- 1:06:22SPEAKER_03: This is absurd.
- 1:06:24SPEAKER_03: Objects don't talk.
- 1:06:32SPEAKER_01: Or your knife is just a knife?
- 1:06:37SPEAKER_03: Very odd of you to single out which one!
- 1:06:41SPEAKER_03: And she,
- 1:06:41SPEAKER_03: like,
- 1:06:42throws her jacket open because she does indeed have a host of
- 1:06:45knives around her
- 1:06:47SPEAKER_03: body.
- 1:06:49SPEAKER_01: The shiny special one.
- 1:06:53SPEAKER_03: I have several shiny special knives.
- 1:06:56SPEAKER_03: This one, and she, like, turns her hips to show her
- 1:07:01dagger of blindsight that she keeps on her keeps that thing on
- 1:07:06her this one helps

- 1:07:23movies i can't deal
- 1:07:24SPEAKER_03: with not city people is a movie country folk
- 1:07:31SPEAKER_03: It's the moving pictures.
- 1:07:37SPEAKER_03: Anyway, this one's extra special.
- 1:07:39SPEAKER_03: I like it a lot.
- 1:07:40SPEAKER_03: It helps me see when I can't see.
- 1:07:42SPEAKER_03: It's a good one.
- 1:07:43SPEAKER_03: Like that.
- 1:07:46SPEAKER_03: This one's got shinies on it.
- 1:07:49SPEAKER_03: She pulls one out from like around her ankle.
- 1:07:51SPEAKER_03: It's tucked into her socks.
- 1:07:54SPEAKER_03: This one, it's just a little sentimental.
- 1:07:56SPEAKER_03: It was my first one.
- 1:07:58SPEAKER_03: I found it.
- 1:07:59SPEAKER_03: in the kitchen, in the orphanage, slash slash.
- 1:08:06SPEAKER_01: What about the one with multiple points?
- 1:08:10SPEAKER_03: That's a good one too.
- 1:08:11SPEAKER_03: That I found in a box.
- 1:08:15SPEAKER_03: Nothing unique or interesting to say about it.
- 1:08:29SPEAKER_01: He's going to insight check you.
- 1:08:37SPEAKER_03: Go ahead.
- 1:08:38SPEAKER_03: Lion is my best feature.
- 1:08:42SPEAKER_01: You can go ahead and make a... Deception.
- 1:08:47SPEAKER_02: Ahhhh.
- 1:09:01SPEAKER_03: I'm going to add a hero point just because.
- 1:09:06SPEAKER_03: D6, right?
- 1:09:07SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 1:09:08SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 1:09:1443.
- 1:09:20SPEAKER_01: You just barely beat his insight check.
- 1:09:34SPEAKER_02: Right?
- 1:09:39SPEAKER_01: As thrilling as this walk has been, I have official duties to attend to.
- 1:09:47And it seems that we've made it to your place of residence for
- 1:09:52your stay here.
- 1:10:00SPEAKER_01: Do not worry about trashing the place, it will magically
- 1:10:04SPEAKER_01: Fix itself.
- 1:10:09SPEAKER_01: As I said...
- 1:10:11SPEAKER_01: Down the road just this way...
- 1:10:14SPEAKER_01: You have all shops and things that you can go peruse.
- 1:10:18SPEAKER_01: There's some taverns and bars around the corner.
- 1:10:22SPEAKER_03: If we trash those, will they also magically... They will not.
- 1:10:29SPEAKER_01: Damn.
- 1:10:32SPEAKER_01: Fortunately.
- 1:10:33SPEAKER_01: Only...
- 1:10:34A select few residences used for potentially unruly guests are
- 1:10:41set to do this.
- 1:10:47Representative will be by in the morning to escort you to the
- 1:10:55council chambers.
- 1:11:00SPEAKER_03: I don't know what part of Paradigms of Civilized Society you missed.
- 1:11:11SPEAKER_03: But that's us.
- 1:11:17SPEAKER_01: Paradigms of Civilized Society?
- 1:11:21SPEAKER_01: You all?
- 1:11:22SPEAKER_01: She just had eyeballs all up her arm.
- 1:11:26SPEAKER_03: That's rather judgmental of you.
- 1:11:28SPEAKER_03: You can't be a good citizen if you've got a couple extra eyeballs.
- 1:11:36No wonder your citizens are fighting in the streets about who's
- 1:11:39better than the other.
- 1:11:39SPEAKER_03: Look at yourself.
- 1:11:40SPEAKER_03: What an example you're setting.
- 1:11:52SPEAKER_01: You know, you and someone I know very well would get along
- 1:11:56SPEAKER_01: Quite well, if you got to know each other.
- 1:11:58SPEAKER_03: I'm a very likable kid.
- 1:12:10SPEAKER_01: Anyway.
- 1:12:12SPEAKER_01: Doors open.
- 1:12:13SPEAKER_01: You may... Go do as you please.
- 1:12:16SPEAKER_01: Just don't leave the city.
- 1:12:18SPEAKER_01: Don't rile up any of our protesters.
- 1:12:23SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 1:12:23SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 1:12:26SPEAKER_03: When's our hearing?
- 1:12:30SPEAKER_01: A hearing.
- 1:12:31SPEAKER_01: It is a meeting.
- 1:12:34SPEAKER_03: Potato, potato.
- 1:12:36SPEAKER_03: When do we get to dress up?
- 1:12:39SPEAKER_01: First thing in the morning.
- 1:12:48SPEAKER_01: I suggest you bring your best behavior and you leave the animals at home.
- 1:13:04SPEAKER_03: Gratitude, General.
- 1:13:09She,
- 1:13:10like,
- 1:13:11leans in and whispers to Deedle,
- 1:13:13he wants you to leave me at home.
- 1:13:20SPEAKER_01: You're not an animal.
- 1:13:28SPEAKER_03: That's debatable.
- 1:13:29SPEAKER_03: I'm getting a new outfit.
- 1:13:33SPEAKER_01: He kind of just waves.
- 1:13:34SPEAKER_01: Oh, also, you are going to be consistently under somebody's watchful eye.
- 1:13:42SPEAKER_01: I wouldn't expect anything less.
- 1:13:46SPEAKER_03: He kind of waves it off.
- 1:13:50SPEAKER_01: One guard is posted outside your temporary residence, however.
- 1:13:57SPEAKER_03: You got one guard and think...
- 1:14:00SPEAKER_03: That's gonna be enough to keep a watchful eye over all this?
- 1:14:07SPEAKER_03: That's probably just one.
- 1:14:08SPEAKER_03: Yeah,
- 1:14:14SPEAKER_03: well...
- 1:14:15SPEAKER_03: He should up his standards,
- 1:14:16SPEAKER_03: because...
- 1:14:17SPEAKER_03: I could get out through the toilet at this rate.
- 1:14:26SPEAKER_02: I don't think he's there to keep us in.
- 1:14:28SPEAKER_02: He's there to...
- 1:14:30SPEAKER_03: Keep us secure?
- 1:14:31SPEAKER_00: Because I was hoping to go to the bar.
- 1:14:38SPEAKER_01: Well, you all have free time now.
- 1:14:44SPEAKER_01: The evening is yours until you gotta get some rest.
- 1:14:50SPEAKER_01: Who would like to do what?
- 1:14:56SPEAKER_00: What time is it?
- 1:14:59SPEAKER_01: Like, our business is still open.
- 1:15:03Yeah,
- 1:15:03like,
- 1:15:04uh...
- 1:15:06You know,
- 1:15:06sun's starting to go down,
- 1:15:07like,
- 1:15:07three or four o'clock.
- 1:15:09SPEAKER_03: Go in a tavern, grab something to eat.
- 1:15:13SPEAKER_03: Then go shopping.
- 1:15:16SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 1:15:17SPEAKER_03: Agreed.
- 1:15:22SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'll go alone.
- 1:15:24SPEAKER_03: I need a new outfit for tomorrow.
- 1:15:27SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna look fancy.
- 1:15:31SPEAKER_01: I'll join them.
- 1:15:36SPEAKER_02: Me too.
- 1:15:36SPEAKER_01: What are we doing with Puppyfish, Poppy, and Iris?
- 1:15:43SPEAKER_03: They can hang out.
- 1:15:44SPEAKER_03: Tear the place apart.
- 1:15:45SPEAKER_03: It'll be a ball.
- 1:15:46SPEAKER_03: It'll just reset when we come back.
- 1:15:48SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 1:15:49SPEAKER_03: Guards are right downstairs.
- 1:15:50SPEAKER_03: They're not gonna go anywhere.
- 1:15:51SPEAKER_01: I'll bring Iris with.
- 1:15:58SPEAKER_03: You're gonna bring the baby to a bar?
- 1:16:03SPEAKER_00: Yeah, she can't be left alone.
- 1:16:05SPEAKER_00: She's a minor.
- 1:16:07SPEAKER_03: I take back what I said about you being a lesbian.
- 1:16:12SPEAKER_01: I'm sure they have juice.
- 1:16:15SPEAKER_01: And I'm still gay.
- 1:16:16SPEAKER_03: Alright, you know what?
- 1:16:23SPEAKER_03: We'll go shopping.
- 1:16:27SPEAKER_01: You're gonna take Irish shopping?
- 1:16:29SPEAKER_01: Yes, we're going to go shopping.
- 1:16:31SPEAKER_03: And get food on sticks.
- 1:16:34SPEAKER_03: He might.
- 1:16:35SPEAKER_01: Hey guys,
- 1:16:40SPEAKER_01: quick reminder to leave a like,
- 1:16:43SPEAKER_01: a comment,
- 1:16:44SPEAKER_01: and don't forget to follow or subscribe to us.
- 1:16:46SPEAKER_01: Thanks.
- 1:16:48SPEAKER_01: Stay away from the rat.
- 1:16:49SPEAKER_01: It's a delicacy in some parts, but I don't like it.
- 1:17:02SPEAKER_01: You know her.
- 1:17:04SPEAKER_01: You take Iris shopping.
- 1:17:06SPEAKER_01: Everyone else you'll meet up with later.
- 1:17:08SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 1:17:10SPEAKER_01: So you start walking down some streets, you see Iris.
- 1:17:13SPEAKER_01: She's like any other kid reaching for every little thing she sees.
- 1:17:17SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna remind her that we keep our hands in our pockets.
- 1:17:22SPEAKER_01: We look with our eyes.
- 1:17:25SPEAKER_01: She puts her hands in your pockets.
- 1:17:27SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:17:31SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna have her stand on my boots.
- 1:17:35SPEAKER_01: And we'll walk that way.
- 1:17:36SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:17:39SPEAKER_03: I'm looking for a jeweler.
- 1:17:49SPEAKER_01: You find a stand of sorts that has a bunch of jewelry out?
- 1:17:56SPEAKER_01: I will ask if they're willing to buy some.
- 1:18:03SPEAKER_01: Hmm.
- 1:18:05SPEAKER_01: You got some jewels for me?
- 1:18:07SPEAKER_02: A few.
- 1:18:09SPEAKER_01: Are they stolen?
- 1:18:15SPEAKER_03: A law by a citizen.
- 1:18:16SPEAKER_01: So am I. And it winks at you.
- 1:18:26I'm going to reach into the handy haversack and just,
- 1:18:29like,
- 1:18:30a small fistful from the...
- 1:18:35SPEAKER_00: $95,000 worth of valuables.
- 1:18:39SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:18:41SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:18:41SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:18:46SPEAKER_01: What are you looking for?
- 1:18:48SPEAKER_01: What do you think it's worth?
- 1:18:50SPEAKER_01: This small little handful here?
- 1:18:53SPEAKER_01: Pennies.
- 1:18:55SPEAKER_01: Pennies, pennies, pennies.
- 1:18:56SPEAKER_01: There's platinum in there.
- 1:18:59SPEAKER_01: That's not a jewel.
- 1:19:04SPEAKER_02: You need metals to make jewelry.
- 1:19:08SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 1:19:10But when metals resourced for jewelry are not worth as much as
- 1:19:16their market price.
- 1:19:18SPEAKER_00: I can take it and go somewhere else.
- 1:19:21SPEAKER_01: You could.
- 1:19:22Somewhere else might not be able to deal with something that
- 1:19:26could be potentially stolen.
- 1:19:29SPEAKER_01: I'm pretty trustworthy.
- 1:19:35SPEAKER_01: Tell you what.
- 1:19:38SPEAKER_01: For the small handful they have here.
- 1:19:41SPEAKER_01: Small handful.
- 1:19:47SPEAKER_01: I'll give you 500 gold.
- 1:19:53SPEAKER_03: See, I don't know.
- 1:19:56SPEAKER_02: Some of these I'm really attached to.
- 1:19:58Is that why you just scooped them out as a handful and plopped
- 1:20:01them out on my table here?
- 1:20:03SPEAKER_02: I have a lot of things in this bag.
- 1:20:06SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I bet.
- 1:20:06SPEAKER_01: Like, there's some guards right over there.
- 1:20:10SPEAKER_02: That's fine.
- 1:20:11SPEAKER_02: The guards know I'm here.
- 1:20:12SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they know I'm here, too.
- 1:20:23SPEAKER_00: 600.
- 1:20:31SPEAKER_03: You clearly should have brought me.
- 1:20:32SPEAKER_03: You don't know how to haggle with me.
- 1:20:37SPEAKER_01: 535.
- 1:20:38SPEAKER_01: 600.
- 1:20:40SPEAKER_01: Can I insight check him?
- 1:20:42SPEAKER_01: Sure.
- 1:20:42SPEAKER_01: Is that the right?
- 1:20:49SPEAKER_01: Oh, there it is.
- 1:20:54SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna Inspiration that. 26.
- 1:21:07He's lowballing you big time for your handful of jewels that
- 1:21:11you have on the table there.
- 1:21:12SPEAKER_01: I could go get General Malachi.
- 1:21:16SPEAKER_01: Oh, I bet you could.
- 1:21:17SPEAKER_01: And I can go get Joe Schmo down the street.
- 1:21:19SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 1:21:26SPEAKER_01: I'm going to take it back.
- 1:21:29SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:21:30SPEAKER_01: No, wait, wait, wait.
- 1:21:31SPEAKER_01: Let's not be so hasty now.
- 1:21:33SPEAKER_01: not be so hasty now.
- 1:21:36SPEAKER_01: I am in a bit of limited supply of raw materials.
- 1:21:40SPEAKER_02: That's a shame.
- 1:21:41SPEAKER_01: I could pay you a little extra for it.
- 1:21:47SPEAKER_01: Give you a premium.
- 1:21:48SPEAKER_01: 800 gold.
- 1:21:55SPEAKER_01: What do I think he thinks that is?
- 1:21:58SPEAKER_01: What?
- 1:22:00SPEAKER_01: What do you think that is worth?
- 1:22:03SPEAKER_00: What do I think he thinks it's worth with my insight check?
- 1:22:09SPEAKER_00: Does he still think 800 is a low ball?
- 1:22:11SPEAKER_01: 800 is the low end of the market value.
- 1:22:20SPEAKER_01: So like it's fair, but kind of.
- 1:22:25SPEAKER_01: I think you can do a little bit better.
- 1:22:30SPEAKER_01: Since you're so low on materials.
- 1:22:33I could.
- 1:22:34How about a trade?
- 1:22:38800 gold.
- 1:22:38And this blessed diamond.
- 1:22:41SPEAKER_01: Can I look at the diamond?
- 1:23:00SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he points it.
- 1:23:02SPEAKER_01: That's out on the table.
- 1:23:04SPEAKER_02: Okay, so it's on the table.
- 1:23:05SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:23:06SPEAKER_02: Where's my thing?
- 1:23:14SPEAKER_00: I had it.
- 1:23:14SPEAKER_01: I don't know where it went.
- 1:23:17SPEAKER_01: The monocle.
- 1:23:19SPEAKER_01: The monocle of identification?
- 1:23:20SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 1:23:25SPEAKER_00: There it is.
- 1:23:27SPEAKER_00: Can I look at it?
- 1:23:28SPEAKER_02: Uh-huh.
- 1:23:34SPEAKER_01: To choose Arcana or investigation.
- 1:23:363020.
- 1:23:40Jack.
- 1:23:43SPEAKER_02: Hmm.
- 1:24:05SPEAKER_01: to look at.
- 1:24:08SPEAKER_03: I have it up if you want to look at mine.
- 1:24:16SPEAKER_01: It's an enchanted diamond.
- 1:24:18SPEAKER_00: I can't tell what the enchant is or.
- 1:24:33SPEAKER_01: Enchanted with
- 1:24:35SPEAKER_01: Holy energy.
- 1:24:39It looks like it may make certain holy rituals or spells either
- 1:24:43more potent or easier to cast.
- 1:24:46SPEAKER_01: So it doesn't look like it'll hurt me?
- 1:24:49SPEAKER_01: No.
- 1:24:50SPEAKER_01: And it's not capable of harm?
- 1:24:54SPEAKER_01: No.
- 1:24:55SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:24:56SPEAKER_01: It is enchanted with holy energy.
- 1:25:00SPEAKER_00: How much is a diamond worth?
- 1:25:03SPEAKER_01: More diamond?
- 1:25:04SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 1:25:05SPEAKER_01: Depends on the size.
- 1:25:16Like.
- 1:25:16SPEAKER_00: Let's see.
- 1:25:29SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean.
- 1:25:30SPEAKER_01: Diamonds can range.
- 1:25:37SPEAKER_01: From like a few hundred gold up to like 5,000 gold or more.
- 1:25:43SPEAKER_01: What do I think this one is?
- 1:25:46SPEAKER_01: You're not a jeweler.
- 1:25:48SPEAKER_01: Okay, how big is it?
- 1:25:51SPEAKER_01: Does it look like it goes on an earring?
- 1:25:54SPEAKER_01: No, it's like you can hold it in your hand a little bit.
- 1:25:57SPEAKER_01: It's probably like... Like marble size?
- 1:26:00SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:26:01SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:26:08SPEAKER_01: 500 to a thousand gold maybe with the enchant.
- 1:26:18SPEAKER_03: I will take the diamond.
- 1:26:22SPEAKER_03: If you do 900.
- 1:26:30SPEAKER_02: Keep in mind, I have more.
- 1:26:31SPEAKER_00: I could be a repeat customer if you're nice to me.
- 1:26:48SPEAKER_01: Deal.
- 1:26:51SPEAKER_01: Shake your hand.
- 1:26:55SPEAKER_03: Oh God, the both hand grip.
- 1:26:57SPEAKER_01: They're sweaty too.
- 1:26:59SPEAKER_03: Of course they are.
- 1:27:04SPEAKER_01: He writes up a quick certificate of sale.
- 1:27:07SPEAKER_01: Hands it to you with the certified enchantment seal for the diamond.
- 1:27:14SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 1:27:15SPEAKER_01: So you lose.
- 1:27:18SPEAKER_01: In that handful.
- 1:27:22SPEAKER_01: You lose.
- 1:27:23SPEAKER_01: 2000 gold's worth of.
- 1:27:29SPEAKER_01: Gems.
- 1:27:30SPEAKER_03: OK.
- 1:27:31SPEAKER_03: There is the edit.
- 1:27:39SPEAKER_03: I knew he was lowballing me.
- 1:27:48SPEAKER_01: You gain, just click on your gold.
- 1:27:51SPEAKER_01: I already added it.
- 1:27:54SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:27:55SPEAKER_01: And you gain an enchanted diamond.
- 1:27:58SPEAKER_01: So just put like enchanted diamond?
- 1:28:00SPEAKER_01: Yeah, in your backpack.
- 1:28:01SPEAKER_01: Or wherever.
- 1:28:02SPEAKER_01: You have to add it, manage inventory and add it manually.
- 1:28:10SPEAKER_01: Custom item.
- 1:28:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I know, I'm trying to, there it is.
- 1:28:34SPEAKER_01: Enchanted.
- 1:28:36SPEAKER_01: That's what I meant.
- 1:28:39SPEAKER_01: He didn't lowball you too much.
- 1:28:45SPEAKER_01: Yeah, okay.
- 1:28:51SPEAKER_01: Hey, hey, hey.
- 1:28:53SPEAKER_00: Yes, my dad.
- 1:28:53SPEAKER_01: Can I get food?
- 1:28:55SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
- 1:28:56SPEAKER_01: I want to get food with Turtle Man.
- 1:29:00SPEAKER_01: I think Turtle Man might be drinking.
- 1:29:03SPEAKER_01: Drinking grown-up juice.
- 1:29:04SPEAKER_01: I want grown-up juice.
- 1:29:06SPEAKER_01: How old are you?
- 1:29:07SPEAKER_01: A grown-up.
- 1:29:08SPEAKER_01: You are not a grown-up.
- 1:29:09SPEAKER_01: I am a grown-up.
- 1:29:10SPEAKER_01: No, you're not.
- 1:29:10SPEAKER_01: You know, favors don't get dessert.
- 1:29:13SPEAKER_01: Look.
- 1:29:14SPEAKER_01: Look.
- 1:29:15SPEAKER_01: And she blinks her eyes really fast.
- 1:29:17SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
- 1:29:19SPEAKER_01: And for a second, her eyes go black.
- 1:29:21SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
- 1:29:24SPEAKER_01: Like you're looking at her and her eyes go black.
- 1:29:28SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:29:30SPEAKER_01: See, I'm a grown-up.
- 1:29:31SPEAKER_01: No.
- 1:29:32SPEAKER_01: Only grown-ups can do that.
- 1:29:34SPEAKER_01: And she's going to gently place her hand over her eyes.
- 1:29:38SPEAKER_01: We don't do that outside of the house.
- 1:29:40SPEAKER_01: Okay?
- 1:29:41SPEAKER_01: What house?
- 1:29:42SPEAKER_01: Outside of the house that we were just at.
- 1:29:45SPEAKER_01: That's not our house.
- 1:29:46SPEAKER_01: Our house isn't a ball.
- 1:29:48SPEAKER_01: Our house isn't a ball, but we got shit.
- 1:29:52SPEAKER_01: Let's go get food!
- 1:29:52SPEAKER_01: I'm just staring daggers at this child.
- 1:29:56SPEAKER_01: You're not with them, unless you decide to go with an orange.
- 1:30:01SPEAKER_01: I thought I went shopping with them.
- 1:30:05So you,
- 1:30:06Deedle,
- 1:30:07Crocca,
- 1:30:07and Lala were all going to get food and drinks first.
- 1:30:11SPEAKER_01: Ah, okay.
- 1:30:11SPEAKER_01: Never mind then.
- 1:30:14SPEAKER_01: Yenor felt bad leaving Iris by herself,
- 1:30:17SPEAKER_01: so Yenor took Iris shopping first,
- 1:30:19SPEAKER_01: and we're going to get some food from food vendors.
- 1:30:28SPEAKER_01: You pass a couple of food vendors as you're meandering back home.
- 1:30:33SPEAKER_01: I'll let her pick whatever she wants.
- 1:30:36SPEAKER_01: She grabs one of everything from the food vendors.
- 1:30:39SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:30:39SPEAKER_01: It costs you probably like five gold for you and her.
- 1:30:48SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 1:30:49SPEAKER_01: And you kind of just meander with her back home.
- 1:30:52SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 1:30:55SPEAKER_01: Now the rest of you.
- 1:31:00SPEAKER_01: There are a few drinking areas around.
- 1:31:08SPEAKER_01: There's this nice looking kind of upscale-ish tavern.
- 1:31:16There's a couple of street vendors with alcoholic beverages and
- 1:31:24some dice games or
- 1:31:28SPEAKER_01: other gambling games going on in the street.
- 1:31:31SPEAKER_01: And you have a couple of like regular taverns and bars.
- 1:31:42SPEAKER_01: Where would you all like to go?
- 1:31:47SPEAKER_02: What time is it?
- 1:31:50SPEAKER_01: Like three or four in the afternoon.
- 1:31:53SPEAKER_01: It's basically day drinking.
- 1:31:57SPEAKER_03: Well, how's the weather?
- 1:32:00SPEAKER_01: Sunny.
- 1:32:02SPEAKER_01: If that's the case, then it's still the afternoon.
- 1:32:04SPEAKER_01: I'd like to stay outside, but what do y'all want to do?
- 1:32:11SPEAKER_01: The sun is starting to go down a little bit.
- 1:32:19SPEAKER_02: It's either go to a tavern,
- 1:32:21SPEAKER_02: sit down and have a drink and eat something to eat,
- 1:32:24SPEAKER_02: or walk the streets,
- 1:32:26SPEAKER_03: get something to drink,
- 1:32:27SPEAKER_03: eat,
- 1:32:27SPEAKER_03: and maybe play some dice.
- 1:32:30SPEAKER_01: I mean, I don't know how to play dice.
- 1:32:33SPEAKER_01: Do you?
- 1:32:35SPEAKER_03: No, but I want to roll dice.
- 1:32:38SPEAKER_03: So win or lose, I get to roll dice.
- 1:32:43SPEAKER_03: Do you know how to play dice?
- 1:32:48SPEAKER_03: I grew up on the streets.
- 1:32:49SPEAKER_03: Of course I do.
- 1:32:51SPEAKER_01: I mean, not everybody on the streets knows how to play dice, do they?
- 1:32:54SPEAKER_03: She just blank stares at him.
- 1:33:02SPEAKER_01: I am getting hungry, so come on.
- 1:33:04SPEAKER_01: Where are we eating?
- 1:33:08There's plenty of food and drink out in the street here a
- 1:33:13couple of blocks away from the house.
- 1:33:16SPEAKER_01: Joaquin would get beef meat skewers.
- 1:33:20SPEAKER_01: Oh, there's plenty of, like, that good street vendor meat skewers.
- 1:33:24SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 1:33:24Meat kebabs with some nice,
- 1:33:28just not too many,
- 1:33:29but some nice vegetable mixed in.
- 1:33:33SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:33:35SPEAKER_01: Just as a little accent.
- 1:33:37SPEAKER_01: Some sauces.
- 1:33:39SPEAKER_01: He offers to the group.
- 1:33:41SPEAKER_01: You guys want?
- 1:33:43SPEAKER_01: These are really good, actually.
- 1:33:47Only if you tell me I'm the most beautiful girl you've ever
- 1:33:50seen with a kebab.
- 1:33:55SPEAKER_03: I'll take it.
- 1:34:02SPEAKER_00: Do I smell any seafood?
- 1:34:05SPEAKER_01: Ah,
- 1:34:05SPEAKER_01: yeah,
- 1:34:06SPEAKER_01: there's some,
- 1:34:06SPEAKER_01: uh,
- 1:34:08SPEAKER_01: vendors with some,
- 1:34:09SPEAKER_01: like,
- 1:34:09SPEAKER_01: seafood stews and soups,
- 1:34:12SPEAKER_01: and there's some with,

- 1:34:14SPEAKER_01: like,
- 1:34:14SPEAKER_01: fresh seafood,

- 1:34:19SPEAKER_01: and there's some with,
- 1:34:21SPEAKER_01: uh,
- 1:34:21SPEAKER_01: grilled or skewered seafood.
- 1:34:26SPEAKER_01: Um...
- 1:34:29SPEAKER_00: I'll stop by the skewers and the sushi type.
- 1:34:38SPEAKER_01: You should learn how to make these.
- 1:34:40SPEAKER_03: These are really good.
- 1:34:41SPEAKER_03: You just put meat on a stick?
- 1:34:51SPEAKER_03: No, child.
- 1:34:52SPEAKER_03: There's art to it.
- 1:34:53SPEAKER_03: Artistry.
- 1:34:54You can't just put meat on a stick and expect it to come out
- 1:34:57just like this.
- 1:34:59SPEAKER_03: You call it artistry, but I'm pretty sure it's just soy sauce.
- 1:35:05He's just staring daggers at her and he takes another bite of
- 1:35:08his meat skewer.
- 1:35:12I will say that you,
- 1:35:16it's like,
- 1:35:17you know,
- 1:35:18one gold for all the meat skewers that you got.
- 1:35:23SPEAKER_01: You get quite a few with that.
- 1:35:26SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I actually would
- 1:35:28SPEAKER_01: I'm going to spend 30 gold here.
- 1:35:33SPEAKER_01: For everybody.
- 1:35:34SPEAKER_01: Just meat skewers or just on various drinks and things too?
- 1:35:40SPEAKER_01: I spend $30 on meat skewers alone.
- 1:35:44SPEAKER_01: Okay, so you get like... It's 30 gold.
- 1:35:49SPEAKER_01: You're getting like...
- 1:35:56SPEAKER_03: We've bought this man out of skewers.
- 1:36:02SPEAKER_01: 60 meat skewers.
- 1:36:04SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:36:05SPEAKER_01: Or if you include tip in that, you get like 50 meat skewers.
- 1:36:10SPEAKER_03: Yeah, no, we tip them definitely.
- 1:36:13SPEAKER_01: Yeah,
- 1:36:13so you're getting like 50 meat skewers with dipping sauces and
- 1:36:16this dude is like
- 1:36:19SPEAKER_01: praising you.
- 1:36:20SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:36:21SPEAKER_01: You're probably his best customer of the day.
- 1:36:25SPEAKER_01: Remember,
- 1:36:25SPEAKER_01: if you ever need anything or if you ever want to,
- 1:36:27SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 1:36:29SPEAKER_01: need a ship sail,
- 1:36:30SPEAKER_01: sue sailing.
- 1:36:31SPEAKER_01: We do it all, okay?
- 1:36:33SPEAKER_01: We may talk, you know.
- 1:36:35SPEAKER_01: Does he have a business card?
- 1:36:39SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:36:40SPEAKER_01: Let me, let me.
- 1:36:41SPEAKER_01: He reached under, covered in whatever sauce, but he can't do.
- 1:36:44SPEAKER_01: There, it's a little, everything gets messy.
- 1:36:47SPEAKER_01: There, there, there.
- 1:36:49SPEAKER_01: No, no, that's fine, that's fine.
- 1:36:51SPEAKER_01: I think that these things,
- 1:36:53SPEAKER_01: and he takes another bite out of meat skewer,
- 1:36:55SPEAKER_01: need to be on all Sioux sailing vessels.
- 1:36:58SPEAKER_01: So we're going to work on trying to do that there.
- 1:37:00SPEAKER_01: Okay?
- 1:37:03SPEAKER_01: That's great.
- 1:37:05SPEAKER_01: If you can figure out how to preserve them, that'd be perfect.
- 1:37:09SPEAKER_01: Well, you may need to franchise.
- 1:37:10SPEAKER_01: So you may need to actually, you know,
- 1:37:14SPEAKER_01: Ranch out, maybe train some other people.
- 1:37:17SPEAKER_01: We can get them on some sea sailing vessels.
- 1:37:19SPEAKER_01: This is a whole business thing.
- 1:37:21SPEAKER_01: Again, don't want to scare you, but these are good.
- 1:37:24SPEAKER_01: And you should expand.
- 1:37:26SPEAKER_01: And I can help you.
- 1:37:27SPEAKER_01: So, yeah.
- 1:37:29SPEAKER_01: We will be in touch, sir.
- 1:37:31SPEAKER_01: Okay?
- 1:37:31SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:37:33SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 1:37:34SPEAKER_01: He goes back.
- 1:37:35SPEAKER_01: He's still, like, he can maybe make 15 skewers at a time.
- 1:37:40SPEAKER_01: So he's still going.
- 1:37:46Joaquin shares the skewers with all of you as well he does they
- 1:37:52are good skewers
- 1:37:53for everybody aren't they fucking good so fucking good it was

- 1:38:06opportunities everywhere child don't you realize that to make
- 1:38:10that man rich or we
- 1:38:13SPEAKER_01: could play dice
- 1:38:16Well,
- 1:38:16I'm going to watch you play dice because I don't know how to do
- 1:38:19the thing.
- 1:38:20SPEAKER_01: What do we do with these things?
- 1:38:21SPEAKER_01: Well, I don't know.
- 1:38:22SPEAKER_01: They look kind of suspect.
- 1:38:24SPEAKER_01: Are we sure we want to go play dice with them?
- 1:38:28SPEAKER_03: You just bought meat from a cart.
- 1:38:31SPEAKER_03: He's a vendor.
- 1:38:35SPEAKER_03: Dice vendors.
- 1:38:38SPEAKER_03: Are there such things as dice vendors?
- 1:38:41SPEAKER_03: I need a drink first.
- 1:38:42SPEAKER_03: You guys need to be right here?
- 1:38:44SPEAKER_03: I'll be back.
- 1:38:47SPEAKER_01: Oh, no, no, no, no.
- 1:38:47SPEAKER_01: I'll say for you, for the fish, the fish is a little more expensive.
- 1:38:54SPEAKER_01: So depending on how much you buy, each serving is two gold.
- 1:39:04SPEAKER_01: Ten of each.
- 1:39:06SPEAKER_01: Ten of each?
- 1:39:08SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:39:09SPEAKER_01: So that would be 40 gold.
- 1:39:17SPEAKER_01: You can add tip on that if you would like.
- 1:39:21SPEAKER_01: I would know what tip is though.

- 1:40:31vendors in the middle of
- 1:40:32SPEAKER_01: the street
- 1:40:35SPEAKER_03: Yeah, this is a really bad city.
- 1:40:38SPEAKER_03: How do you call this a city?
- 1:40:42SPEAKER_03: Disgusting.
- 1:40:45SPEAKER_01: There's a path through the dirt road,
- 1:40:46but there's like patches of dirt road where these vendors set
- 1:40:49up on the off side of
- 1:40:50SPEAKER_01: the road so that they're not blocking the path.
- 1:40:55SPEAKER_01: But there are groups of people playing dice games.

- 1:41:51those D eights.

- 1:44:15SPEAKER_01: How sure are you about yourself in all this?
- 1:44:24SPEAKER_03: Those are two different questions.

- 1:44:49SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:44:51SPEAKER_03: Anybody can win.
- 1:44:52SPEAKER_01: It's not confident, John.
- 1:44:58SPEAKER_01: I bet five gold.
- 1:45:07SPEAKER_01: Deedle, are you getting in on this?
- 1:45:13SPEAKER_03: Nobody's lose when I go to bet on anything,
- 1:45:16SPEAKER_03: so I'll just step back and watch everybody else have fun.
- 1:45:20SPEAKER_01: You have lost every time you've played a gambling game.
- 1:45:23SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 1:45:24So I'll stand off and just watch everybody else have fun and
- 1:45:27lose their money.
- 1:45:27SPEAKER_03: I'm good.
- 1:45:29SPEAKER_03: I am also a terrible gambler, but I'm hoping Lala isn't.
- 1:45:32SPEAKER_03: She does have the sleight of hand.
- 1:45:35SPEAKER_03: Worst comes to worst, we cheat.
- 1:45:38SPEAKER_01: Each of you roll 1d6 for me.
- 1:45:48SPEAKER_03: Wait, I don't know how to play.
- 1:45:49SPEAKER_03: Lala's playing for me.
- 1:45:51SPEAKER_03: Oh, am I?
- 1:45:53SPEAKER_01: You just rolled... No, you just... Are you adding five gold to her bet?
- 1:45:58SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 1:45:59SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:46:00SPEAKER_02: Eight.
- 1:46:05SPEAKER_01: So,
- 1:46:05SPEAKER_01: Lala,
- 1:46:05SPEAKER_01: you rolled a one,
- 1:46:06SPEAKER_01: and I guess,
- 1:46:07SPEAKER_01: Krakka,
- 1:46:07SPEAKER_01: you also rolled a d6,
- 1:46:09SPEAKER_01: unless you were also putting your gold on Lala's dice roll.
- 1:46:14SPEAKER_00: No, I rolled physical, and it was a two.
- 1:46:17SPEAKER_01: So you rolled a two?
- 1:46:18SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 1:46:21SPEAKER_01: Kroka, you are out five gold.
- 1:46:23SPEAKER_01: You lose.
- 1:46:24SPEAKER_01: The dealer reveals a one, three, and a six.
- 1:46:28SPEAKER_01: Lala, you matched one of the die.
- 1:46:30SPEAKER_02: Yay!
- 1:46:34SPEAKER_01: So you get six gold.
- 1:46:38SPEAKER_01: So you get three more gold because you get your bet back plus three.
- 1:46:44SPEAKER_01: And Joaquim, you get ten gold or five gold gold.
- 1:46:49SPEAKER_01: back plus your bet of five originally.
- 1:46:54SPEAKER_03: Not too bad.
- 1:46:55SPEAKER_03: That's what the dice is, huh?
- 1:46:58SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 1:47:00SPEAKER_03: You want to try it on your own this time?
- 1:47:03SPEAKER_01: No.
- 1:47:04SPEAKER_03: Yeah, come on, play.
- 1:47:07SPEAKER_01: I, again, I... You can get a lot of money.
- 1:47:12SPEAKER_00: Let's throw another five in.
- 1:47:16SPEAKER_01: You're at five again.
- 1:47:18SPEAKER_01: I'll play with you a little bit one more time.
- 1:47:21SPEAKER_01: Five gold.
- 1:47:22SPEAKER_01: But again, either I'll be bolstering someone else's bet.
- 1:47:28SPEAKER_01: I'm not rolling.
- 1:47:28SPEAKER_01: Who do you want to bolster?
- 1:47:33SPEAKER_01: Which one of you are feeling lucky?
- 1:47:39SPEAKER_03: Lala rubs her hands together.
- 1:47:40SPEAKER_01: That looks like the gambler's move.
- 1:47:47SPEAKER_01: I will bolster her.
- 1:47:49SPEAKER_01: Her bet.
- 1:47:51SPEAKER_01: Lala, are you keeping your bet at three?
- 1:47:53SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 1:47:55She's going to leave her six gold in and then throw a platinum
- 1:47:58piece on top.
- 1:47:59SPEAKER_01: Oh, God.
- 1:48:03SPEAKER_01: Six gold.
- 1:48:04SPEAKER_01: Where'd you pull that from?
- 1:48:06SPEAKER_03: Let us keep in mind that Lala has been hoarding treasure the entire time.
- 1:48:10SPEAKER_01: She has quite a bit.
- 1:48:13SPEAKER_01: 16 gold.
- 1:48:14SPEAKER_03: Jangly pockets, this girl.
- 1:48:16SPEAKER_03: All right.
- 1:48:18So,
- 1:48:18Lala,
- 1:48:19go ahead and roll another D6,
- 1:48:21and Krakka,
- 1:48:22go ahead and roll a D6.
- 1:48:28SPEAKER_01: Five.
- 1:48:28SPEAKER_01: Lala, you are out your one platinum piece and six gold.
- 1:48:36SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:48:39SPEAKER_01: The dealer reveals a two, five, and six.
- 1:48:41SPEAKER_01: So, Wakim, you are also out that five gold.
- 1:48:46SPEAKER_01: Krakka, you...
- 1:48:48again you match because you said you rolled a five so you match
- 1:48:52one so you get back
- 1:48:54your five gold bet plus another five gold so basically croca
- 1:49:01and wakim are back to
- 1:49:03what they started with lala you're down one platinum piece she
- 1:49:08puts two platinum
- 1:49:09SPEAKER_03: pieces down again what are you doing gambling how it's done
- 1:49:18SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 1:49:18SPEAKER_03: This is how people get poor.
- 1:49:21SPEAKER_03: I've been poor.
- 1:49:23SPEAKER_03: And I've been rich.
- 1:49:24SPEAKER_03: Really feels the same either way.
- 1:49:26SPEAKER_03: You can just buy nicer food.
- 1:49:29SPEAKER_01: I think I like being rich.
- 1:49:32SPEAKER_03: You've never been anything else.
- 1:49:35SPEAKER_03: This is true.
- 1:49:37SPEAKER_01: Are you playing again?
- 1:49:39SPEAKER_00: I am used to, but I got five gold again.
- 1:49:42SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:49:45SPEAKER_01: Joaquin.
- 1:49:48SPEAKER_01: I'm going to back Krakka this time.
- 1:49:52SPEAKER_01: Five gold.
- 1:49:52SPEAKER_01: Five gold with Krakka, all right.
- 1:49:55SPEAKER_01: Lala and Krakka, go ahead, each roll a d6 for me.
- 1:50:00SPEAKER_03: Four.
- 1:50:01SPEAKER_01: Four.
- 1:50:05So,
- 1:50:06Lala,
- 1:50:06you get your two platinum pieces back,
- 1:50:09plus two more platinum pieces.
- 1:50:12And Krakka and Wakeem,
- 1:50:13you each get your five gold back,
- 1:50:15plus another set of five gold.
- 1:50:19SPEAKER_01: Dealer reveals a 1, 4, and a 5.
- 1:50:21SPEAKER_03: Alright, I won my money.
- 1:50:26SPEAKER_03: I'm happy.
- 1:50:27SPEAKER_03: I got my best out of 3.
- 1:50:29SPEAKER_03: I'm good at 2.
- 1:50:29SPEAKER_03: Joaquin kind of chuckles to himself.
- 1:50:35SPEAKER_01: He's like, that was strangely exhilarating.
- 1:50:39SPEAKER_01: Oh, come on.
- 1:50:40SPEAKER_01: What if I add another dice to it, huh?
- 1:50:43SPEAKER_01: You get to roll 2 dice, and I get to roll an extra dice, and we'll see.
- 1:50:47SPEAKER_01: Maybe you'll get more winnings.
- 1:50:50SPEAKER_02: Nah.
- 1:50:50SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 1:50:53SPEAKER_01: I think I've had one through.
- 1:50:55SPEAKER_01: But it's up to you all.
- 1:50:57SPEAKER_03: I haven't had enough to drink for all this.
- 1:50:59SPEAKER_03: Plus, it's a weird city.
- 1:51:01SPEAKER_03: She flicks one of her platinum pieces over to Deedle.
- 1:51:07SPEAKER_03: Two against four.
- 1:51:08SPEAKER_03: That's like 50% odds instead of 33% odds.
- 1:51:10SPEAKER_03: That's a little bit more odds.
- 1:51:12SPEAKER_01: Alright, alright.
- 1:51:16SPEAKER_01: I'll take up on that offer.
- 1:51:18SPEAKER_01: One more round.
- 1:51:19SPEAKER_01: Double face.
- 1:51:22SPEAKER_01: We gotta take her, alright?
- 1:51:24SPEAKER_01: Okay?
- 1:51:26SPEAKER_01: Go ahead, roll your 2d6 then for me.
- 1:51:29SPEAKER_01: What are you betting?
- 1:51:32SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna go 10 this time.
- 1:51:33SPEAKER_03: Since we're double dicing, I'll go 10.
- 1:51:38SPEAKER_01: Sure, none of you others wanna join in on this?
- 1:51:45SPEAKER_03: I did a free platinum piece.
- 1:51:50SPEAKER_03: If you want to risk it.
- 1:51:52SPEAKER_01: Indeed.
- 1:51:53SPEAKER_01: Well, I gave you a free platinum piece.
- 1:51:56SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 1:51:57SPEAKER_03: But somebody's got to roll for me, though.
- 1:52:03SPEAKER_01: It's your platinum piece.
- 1:52:06SPEAKER_01: I'm in.
- 1:52:08SPEAKER_03: Oh, she's playing.
- 1:52:09SPEAKER_03: I am, too.
- 1:52:09SPEAKER_03: I'll put one more in.
- 1:52:11SPEAKER_01: One platinum?
- 1:52:13SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 1:52:16SPEAKER_03: And we're rolling two this time.
- 1:52:20SPEAKER_01: Hakeem, are you going to go back in, or are you staying out?
- 1:52:25SPEAKER_01: I'm going to stay out.
- 1:52:27SPEAKER_01: So, Lala, Krakka, you each get 2d6 to roll this time.
- 1:52:38SPEAKER_01: And, Deedle, I will roll your 2d6 as well.
- 1:52:42SPEAKER_03: Thank you.
- 1:52:42SPEAKER_03: I got a 3 and a 6.
- 1:52:45SPEAKER_03: I got a 4 and a 6.
- 1:52:50SPEAKER_01: 3-6, 3-6, and 4-6, because Deedle got a 4 and a 6.
- 1:52:56SPEAKER_03: You got the same as me.
- 1:52:58SPEAKER_01: Croca!
- 1:53:01SPEAKER_01: You lose your money.
- 1:53:02SPEAKER_01: You got a 3 and a 6?
- 1:53:03SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:53:05SPEAKER_01: You lose your 10 gold.
- 1:53:07SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:53:09SPEAKER_01: Lala and Deedle.
- 1:53:10SPEAKER_01: The dealer reveals a 2, a 3, and two 4s.
- 1:53:12SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:53:12SPEAKER_01: Ooh.
- 1:53:12SPEAKER_01: So...
- 1:53:19SPEAKER_01: Because you each bet one platinum piece,
- 1:53:23SPEAKER_01: you each get your one platinum piece back,
- 1:53:27SPEAKER_01: and you get two platinum pieces on top of it.
- 1:53:30SPEAKER_03: Yeah!
- 1:53:30SPEAKER_03: That's the first time I ever won!
- 1:53:32SPEAKER_03: I gotta, like, high-five a lot.
- 1:53:35SPEAKER_03: High-fives all around.
- 1:53:38SPEAKER_03: Yeah!
- 1:53:40SPEAKER_03: Congratulations!
- 1:53:42SPEAKER_03: Thank you!
- 1:53:42SPEAKER_03: I thought you lost yours.
- 1:53:45SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:53:47SPEAKER_03: I should've stopped at three.
- 1:53:48SPEAKER_03: I'm done.
- 1:53:50SPEAKER_01: Joaquin Minor Illusions, some crowd applause for Deedle.
- 1:53:57SPEAKER_03: Thank you.
- 1:53:58SPEAKER_03: Thank you very much.
- 1:53:59SPEAKER_03: It's about time.
- 1:54:02SPEAKER_01: Two winners.
- 1:54:02SPEAKER_01: I'll give you a double or nothing and add an extra dice.
- 1:54:07SPEAKER_03: No, honey, I know when to walk away.
- 1:54:09SPEAKER_03: We can't keep taking your money like this.
- 1:54:14SPEAKER_01: All right, all right, all right.
- 1:54:18SPEAKER_01: But I'm here every night.
- 1:54:19SPEAKER_01: Come back if you have the itch for some dice.
- 1:54:24SPEAKER_03: Will do.
- 1:54:26SPEAKER_01: Hey!
- 1:54:27SPEAKER_01: You guys just went over there.
- 1:54:28SPEAKER_01: Come over here.
- 1:54:29SPEAKER_01: I got some good payouts.
- 1:54:31SPEAKER_01: Others are trying to get you to come play their dice games now, too.
- 1:54:36SPEAKER_03: I gotta buy an outfit.
- 1:54:37SPEAKER_03: I have to look cute tomorrow for my trial.
- 1:54:40SPEAKER_03: I got some shopping I gotta do, man.
- 1:54:43SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna go spend my newfound money.
- 1:54:50SPEAKER_01: You see the gambling games.
- 1:54:54SPEAKER_01: People running them look a little disappointed,
- 1:54:56but they seem to let up and start going after some other people
- 1:55:00passing by.
- 1:55:01SPEAKER_03: Where do you buy the high-class stuff around here?
- 1:55:06SPEAKER_01: One of the food vendors that you were dealing with,
- 1:55:08SPEAKER_01: just go down that way a little bit,
- 1:55:10SPEAKER_01: and he points off in the northwestern direction.
- 1:55:16SPEAKER_01: There's a couple shops down that road there.
- 1:55:24SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 1:55:28As you all are walking towards the shopping area with your
- 1:55:33finger foods and
- 1:55:34SPEAKER_01: whatnot,
- 1:55:35SPEAKER_01: you see down the block on this side,
- 1:55:37SPEAKER_01: a Yenor with an iris kind of walking towards you with finger foods.
- 1:55:54SPEAKER_03: Hey there!
- 1:55:54SPEAKER_03: Oh hey!

- 1:56:20SPEAKER_03: I think you came like us and meet me.
- 1:56:22SPEAKER_03: You got some meat scares, right?
- 1:56:29SPEAKER_01: Yes, yes, what came really enjoys his meat sticks.
- 1:56:36SPEAKER_03: They're pretty good.
- 1:56:40SPEAKER_01: To be fair.
- 1:56:42SPEAKER_01: In Nora and Iris have just a bunch of variety of food.
- 1:56:47And then you have Joakim and Krakka that just have a mass of
- 1:56:53meat sticks and fish.
- 1:57:03SPEAKER_03: Sounds judgy.
- 1:57:09SPEAKER_01: You ignore judge, judge a little bit.
- 1:57:13SPEAKER_01: Seems excessive.
