• 0:45
  SPEAKER_01: Sit back, stay hydrated, and prepare yourselves for tonight's adventure.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_01: Last we left off, the group in the middle of this mire-filled combat had
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_01: taken on wave after wave of undead,
• 1:06
  eventually making their way through the larger undead and some
• 1:14
  undead thought to be
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_01: legend creatures.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_01: Eventually,
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_01: they came across a mastermind,
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_01: if you will,
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_01: of the undead,
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_01: a puppeteer claiming to be the vampire that had
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_01: entrapped the guild leaders below the Onyx Accord vault.
• 1:37
  He had gotten away from them once and they were not about to
• 1:39
  let him get away again.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_01: After some more combat,
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_01: they turned him into mist and had feared that he was going to get away,
• 1:49
  but instead they had caught and trapped the mist and slashed
• 1:55
  him until his mist
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_01: form returned to the physical realm and he went down.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_01: They checked on their other companions,
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_01: making sure everyone was okay,
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_01: and Deedle made sure to get their potato sack vegetable out of the tree.
• 2:13
  And now they regroup and hopefully continue on uninterrupted
• 2:19
  towards Mr.
• 2:20
  Belfast's safe house.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_01: So that is where we pick up.
• 2:34
  Let's get the appropriate...
• 2:57
  What are you all doing in this brief moment of respite?
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_02: I'm just looking annoyed at Belfast.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_01: Why are you looking at me?
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't plant this trap.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_02: Enough.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_02: I've had enough.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_02: Lead on.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_02: If you lead us into another trap.
• 3:26
  And then he just kind of minor illusions like when you do the
• 3:30
  finger across your neck.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_02: Split your throat.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_02: Deal?
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_02: Deal?
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you're not going to do that.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_01: It's fine.
• 3:41
  I'm going to walk over to the dead vampire and check to see if
• 3:55
  his fangs are exposed.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_02: And if they are, I'm going to snap them out.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_01: His fangs are exposed.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to have you make a nature check to see about removing them.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_02: Besecrations.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_02: Eight.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_02: Just Nate?
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_01: Weird, the roll hasn't come through yet.
• 4:45
  You're not quite sure how to remove a vampire fang from the
• 4:51
  vampire's mouth without
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_01: the danger of pricking yourself on it.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_01: You don't know if their re-dead, undead state can resurrect them.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_01: So you
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_01: Don't remove the fang.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_03: For the record, I also have his head in my backpack.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, you guys cut off his head.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_01: Never mind.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_03: We're bringing the fangs with anyway.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_01: Gotcha.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_01: Let's go back.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_01: What you were staring at.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_01: as you were trying to determine how to get a fang out,
• 5:42
  was this oddly shaped cracked rock that just happened to be
• 5:46
  near where the
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_01: vampire's body was sinking.
• 5:53
  The rest of you all watch Krakka just examining this rock with
• 5:57
  such concentration
• 6:01
  and he's got like a tool out like he's looking at it trying to
• 6:05
  remove something and
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_01: it's near the vampire's head.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: Does that have a family member of yours?
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_01: No, I think they were over there.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_01: I'm trying to get something off this vampire.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_01: Mr.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_01: Belfast leans into Lala,
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_01: Guinor,
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_01: and Leakeem U3 and just whispers real quiet like,
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_01: is anyone else going to tell him that that's a rock?
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: He'll figure it out.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_00: Wasn't planning on it, no.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_02: Where is his mouth?
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_01: Is this what happens when vampires die?
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_00: They just like... Hit real hard.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: Turn to stone.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_00: That's the lore.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_01: Make a deception check, Lala.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_00: You mean butter my bread?
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, sir.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_01: Let's see if this roll actually comes through.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_00: That's a 27.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_01: None of the rolls are coming through.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_01: Alright, I'm going to refresh my thing.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_01: A 27.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_01: Krakka, you are very convinced that Lala is telling the truth 100%.
• 7:59
  Alright,
• 8:03
  well,
• 8:04
  I guess I'm not going to be able to get his fangs like I was
• 8:06
  trying.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_02: I just pick it up and throw it over my shoulder.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe that's time.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_01: What?
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_01: Did you pick up the rock?
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_01: Because I was... It's useless now.
• 8:32
  So you all watch as Praka picks up this rock that he believes
• 8:35
  is a petrified
• 8:37
  vampire head and throws it in like a sack and throws it over
• 8:42
  his shoulder.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_01: No, no, no, no, not like that.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I just, like,
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_01: threw it.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, like not bringing it with you.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_01: You're just picking up and chucking it.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_01: OK, gotcha.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_01: Makes more sense now.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_01: Listen, you rolled an eight.
• 9:09
  Lala kind of up and downs Mr.
• 9:11
  Belfast and is like,
• 9:12
  you know,
• 9:12
  we're good friends.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_00: We're not good friends.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_01: Which good is which?
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_01: And is that towards me or towards... It was at Mr. Belfast.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_01: In reference... Mr. Belfast is confused.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_01: In reference to me or talking about your relationship amongst yourselves?
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_00: Are you our friend now?
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, am I?
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_02: What do you think?
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_01: She keeps calling me your friend.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_01: And he points to Eonor.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_03: He's my new best friend.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_00: Eonor is dubious judge of character.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: She keeps that bird around, too.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_01: Which bird?
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_01: There's two of them.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_03: Well, one's a pigeon and one's a hippogriff.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_03: Both absolutely normal animals.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_00: I don't...
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_00: I don't...
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_00: Even though there's wings,
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_02: I just can't ever think of Poppy as being a bird exactly.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_01: I point to Poppy bird.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_01: I point to the not bird, not bird.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_01: Correct.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_03: Pigeon.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_01: I don't even want to remember his name because it's not a bird.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_03: His name is Bezum and he's amazing.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_01: Not a bird.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_03: You're right, it's pigeon.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_01: Pigeons are birds.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, I agree with that.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_01: That thing's a monster.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_03: He's not just a bird though.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_03: He has the classification of pigeon.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_00: Can we assume that we're walking while this nonsense is occurring?
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, but you're moving very slowly.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_01: You're still slogging through the muck.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_00: Y'all are moving slowly.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_01: That's fair.
• 11:26
  Lala's running circles around all of you while the rest of you
• 11:31
  are slogging.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_01: Minus Poppy.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_01: Poppy's flying.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_01: See?
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_02: Can I use my shadows like
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_02: Ferry me across Well,
• 11:50
  I can I walk on my shadows so that they don't Let I don't lose
• 11:55
  at half speed Me and
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_02: we can't group behind regardless Yeah,
• 12:05
  that would only benefit you a team I would allow you to do that
• 12:08
  it would expended
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_01: Oh No,
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_01: your shadow would still be out your one shadow mm-hmm
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_01: Technically.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_01: But to get through the section of the swamp that you're going through,
• 12:21
  you would have to expend it multiple times because the shadow
• 12:23
  only lasts 10
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_01: minutes.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_02: I don't want to be dirty anymore.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_01: I'm tired of slogging.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you can do that.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_03: You're still going to be hard in muck.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but at least I'm not getting more muck.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not sure if it's possible for you guys to get more mucked.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_01: Don't want to try.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_01: for traveling reasons, what is the order of your marching column?
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_01: Marching group?
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_01: How are you moving through this one?
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_01: Are you making a column or are you just moving?
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_00: Is probably out in front.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_00: She's trying to stay with everybody, but it's really hard for her.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_01: You're not getting slowed down.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_01: Where are you going to be?
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_01: Um, here, I'll be there.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_01: Your puppy is following you, but pouncing from tree to tree.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_01: It does not want to jump in the muck.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_01: Um,
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_00: It's very impressive that this animal is both water and free,
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: both aquatic and arboreal,
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_00: if we're going to pull up the fancy ones.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_01: It is.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_01: I see the puppy doing it, so I assume that maybe I can do that too.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_01: I got muck in my shell.
• 14:16
  I don't want to get any more muck in my shell,
• 14:18
  so I'm going to try the treetop traverse as well.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_01: I will have you make an athletics or acrobatics check for that.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_01: Mostly because you're slippery and slimy and covered in muck.
• 14:34
  17.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's doing the thing again where it's not showing rolls.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_01: 17, you're able to do it.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_01: Not quite at the same pace that the...
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_01: puppy is doing it, but you can do it.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, what's going on here?
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_02: Why can't we see the rules?
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_01: Try refreshing the page again.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_01: Every time it does it, I refresh the page and it comes through.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_03: I've had to refresh for almost every role.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that kind of sucks.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_01: Apologies to anyone watching live.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_01: For whatever reason, OBS muted our inputs.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_01: And I had not noticed that.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_01: So, they are not muted now.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_02: Sorry for the awkward silence.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_01: All inputs were muted for whatever reason.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_01: I have no idea why.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_01: It is fixed now.
• 15:53
  Fortunately,
• 15:53
  that doesn't help for the first part of the livestream,
• 15:56
  but that's okay.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, 17, you're fine.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_01: You're just moving slowly through the trees.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_01: Deedle, you are carrying the potato sack, Mr. Harold Phildo.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_01: So you're probably going to be somewhere with Yenor moving slowly.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_01: And then Mr. Belfast.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 16:29
  Lala,
• 16:29
  I don't know why you're up front when Mr.
• 16:33
  Belfast is supposed to be leading you guys.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_01: Because he does not move through difficult terrain easily.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_01: Like you said, she's basically just doing laps around us.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_01: So he's going to be up kind of...
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_01: In between Joaquim and Inor.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm going to have,
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_01: because Joaquim and Lala,
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_01: you are both not impeded by movement currently,
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_01: each of you make a perception check.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_03: I'm inspirationing that.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_01: Joaquin and Lala.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_01: Did I say Joaquin and Yenor?
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to inspiration mine as well.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, I'm sorry.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, my gosh.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_01: None of them are coming through again.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_01: What is going on with Above BTT tonight?
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_00: I got a 16 and I added a hero point, which is six.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_01: That's fine.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_01: I'm refreshing the screen again.
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_01: I'm inspiration one more time.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_01: Another inspiration.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_01: Bad.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_01: I got bad rolls.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_00: Anyway, we're loaded up.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_01: So, Lala, you got a 22?
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_01: That's what 16 plus 6 is, yes.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, 22.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_00: I can take your Nors into consideration with a 16.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_01: What'd you get, Joaquim?
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_01: 21.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_01: 21.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_01: One second here.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_01: I'm rolling a couple of... Self-checks?
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_01: So, most likely not for the reason that you are thinking.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_00: Is it rabbits?
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_00: Are they terrified of us?
• 19:03
  Joaquim,
• 19:03
  Lala,
• 19:04
  and Yanor since all three of you rolled perception checks.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_01: You get the sense that you're being watched.
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_02: Do I sense anything in my detect magic here?
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_01: Not yet.
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_01: Why can't she see that?
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you get the sense that you're being watched.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_00: You guys.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_00: We're already moving slowly.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if we should stealth.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_01: At this point, we can't get much more blended into the environment.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_00: War movie.
• 20:10
  Lala quickly drops through belly and does an army crawl for
• 20:13
  like four feet.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_01: You get mud all over yourself.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_01: The front of you.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_00: Already muddy.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_01: More.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_01: More mud.
• 20:33
  SPEAKER_02: And flush.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_00: This has definitely fucked up my water genasi suit.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_01: Just as you're doing this,
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_01: Lala,
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_01: you see,
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_01: uh,
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_01: well,
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_01: I guess Yonor and Wakim would see Mr.
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_01: Belfast just all of a sudden,
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_01: just
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_00: And then you hear the... He's making bomb noises?
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_01: You see a shot and then you hear the crack of the recoil.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_00: Oh.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_01: Like it came from a sniper rifle.
• 21:28
  For whatever reason,
• 21:29
  you guys have experience with getting shot at by sniper rifles.
• 21:33
  SPEAKER_02: Especially me.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_02: So does Belfast have a sniper rifle?
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_01: I heard the noise, so I'm looking at him.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_01: Is he holding one?
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_01: So he got shot at?
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_01: Where did... In the shoulder.

  SPEAKER_01: He's kneeling on the ground now like he's pretty hurt.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_02: Am I sensing anything?
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_01: Not pretty hurt like he's hurt.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_01: Not within your detect magic bubble.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_01: What direction did this sound come from?
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_01: Make a...
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_01: I'd say,
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_01: since you're looking for a direction,
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_01: make a...
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_01: I'd give you...
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_01: Perception or survival for you,
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_01: Krakka.
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_02: What if we're all trying to trace where that sound came from?
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_01: Krakka, roll with advantage.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_01: But you already made perception checks.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_01: You, Lala, and Inor...
• 22:42
  um yeah these rolls still aren't coming through great above vtt
• 22:46
  must be having some
• 22:47
  problems 16 and 10 i'm gonna add it here no 16 no you're
• 22:51
  keeping the 16 keeping the
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_01: 16.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_01: okay
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_01: So,
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_01: with a 16,
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_01: you can't pinpoint,
• 23:07
  SPEAKER_01: like,
• 23:07
  SPEAKER_01: an exact,
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_01: exact direction,
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_01: but it definitely came from somewhere in front of you.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_01: In front of the way you're moving.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_02: Someone already get to your arsenal.
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_02: Can you tell us this, Proctor?
• 23:36
  um he perceived it wouldn't we have perceived it yeah i'm gonna
• 23:42
  i'm gonna like get
• 23:45
  down to like the lowest branch that i can in the tree and let
• 23:48
  them know that i
• 23:50
  think the shot was from in front of us i'm gonna uh i'm gonna
• 23:58
  try to get a higher
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_01: advantage point and see if i can see any movement
• 24:03
  And then I'm going to proceed to the tree in front of us where
• 24:07
  Lala is and to the
• 24:09
  SPEAKER_01: highest spot that I can get.
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 24:15
  And just look in the direction where I think the shot came from
• 24:18
  and see if I can
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_01: see any movement,
• 24:21
  SPEAKER_01: any leaves.
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_01: Like, is there any wind blowing right now or anything like that?
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_01: Like, is everything still?
• 24:29
  Most things are still right now,
• 24:31
  minus like anything moving from an animal.
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_01: And the insects going off and everything around.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 24:38
  SPEAKER_01: But otherwise there's no, there's no wind.
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_01: There's no breeze.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_01: So if there is any movement in any branches,
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_01: leaves or anything like that,
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_01: it's from an animal or something else.
• 24:49
  SPEAKER_01: Correct.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_01: And that's what I'm looking for.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_00: Lola kind of whispers to, uh,
• 24:56
  Joaquim to send the shadow out I am going to minor illusion
• 25:07
  because we're still in
• 25:09
  mist and stuff right it's got that like swamp mist overcast
• 25:18
  it's not completely
• 25:19
  SPEAKER_01: obscuring everyone but it's like it's there
• 25:25
  SPEAKER_02: Okay,
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_02: I will take cover behind a tree,
• 25:32
  SPEAKER_02: and then I'll nod to Lala,
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_02: and then I'll issue a command to the shadow to move out and scout ahead,
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_02: see if anything,
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_02: and tell me what you can see.
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_02: Or I can share its vision or something, right?
• 25:48
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think I can do that anymore.
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_01: Let me pull up your shadow.
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_01: It's not quite like Find Familiar.
• 25:56
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_01: In that sense, because this shadow, did it create a shadow for you?
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_01: There a shadow on the map now?
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_01: Hit the plus sign.
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_01: There it is.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_01: It took a second.
• 26:16
  SPEAKER_01: Let me.
• 26:17
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I don't think I can do that.
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_02: So.
• 26:26
  SPEAKER_01: No, you cannot look through it.
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_01: You cannot perceive through the shadow.
• 26:31
  You can communicate...
• 26:33
  I believe you can communicate telepathically with the shadow,
• 26:36
  though.
• 26:38
  SPEAKER_02: Okay,
• 26:38
  SPEAKER_02: so then I will have...
• 26:40
  I'll issue a command to it to go forth and notify me if it sees
• 26:47
  anything...
• 26:47
  SPEAKER_02: If it sees anything attacking us.
• 26:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so it follows...
• 26:57
  SPEAKER_01: Companion rings.
• 27:03
  SPEAKER_01: I'd say because it's a magical base,
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_01: it would be communicated with telepathically because it can't speak.
• 27:11
  It's going to move because it'd be right on top of you and its
• 27:15
  movement is what,
• 27:16
  30 feet?
• 27:17
  SPEAKER_02: Let's see here.
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's got normal 30 feet movement.
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_01: So it moves...
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_01: Like 30 feet up while Krakka's looking on the branches.
• 27:28
  SPEAKER_01: Krakka, you don't see any movement right now.
• 27:37
  SPEAKER_01: This would be a new shadow, Hakeem.
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_01: What do you want to give it?
• 27:39
  SPEAKER_02: So let's...
• 28:02
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we'll just we'll stick with the two attacks.
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_01: OK.
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_01: So 30 feet up is here.
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_01: doesn't report anything.
• 28:25
  SPEAKER_01: Are you going to have it move out there further?
• 28:27
  I will move up to take cover behind a tree and then have it
• 28:37
  move again another 30 feet.
• 28:41
  If things are kind of misty and we're all sort of on hold
• 28:45
  anyway,
• 28:46
  can I cast Pass Without Trace?
• 28:52
  SPEAKER_02: Hey, hey, Akeem.
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you're basically right under Kraken now.
• 28:58
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, sorry.
• 29:00
  SPEAKER_00: Akeem.
• 29:01
  SPEAKER_00: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 29:05
  SPEAKER_00: Come here.
• 29:07
  SPEAKER_01: Do you have the spyglass on you?
• 29:10
  SPEAKER_02: Without saying anything, I'll hand him that spyglass.
• 29:15
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 29:16
  SPEAKER_02: I'll also be listening for...
• 29:21
  SPEAKER_02: Recon from the shadow.
• 29:25
  SPEAKER_01: Your shadow's gone.
• 29:29
  SPEAKER_01: What do you mean?
• 29:37
  SPEAKER_01: Define gone.
• 29:42
  SPEAKER_01: It got hit by something.
• 29:49
  SPEAKER_01: And it has no more health.
• 29:53
  SPEAKER_01: And I was too busy grabbing the spyglass to see what did it.
• 29:59
  Damn.
• 30:01
  SPEAKER_02: Where did it disappear?
• 30:03
  SPEAKER_01: So it would have been when you moved up, it moved up like in this area.
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_01: There's 30 feet in the general direction that you guys are moving.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_01: So it was up here in between these two trees here.
• 30:25
  cast darkness on myself you cast darkness on yourself what are
• 30:35
  you currently
• 30:36
  concentrating on detect magic does that require concentration I
• 30:43
  believe it does
• 30:44
  detect magic yes I meant because it's part of isn't that part
• 30:49
  of your or does that
• 30:50
  SPEAKER_01: just give you access to it
• 30:53
  SPEAKER_02: It gives me access to it without expending a spell slot,
• 30:56
  SPEAKER_02: but the spell itself still...
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_01: But you still need concentration.
• 30:59
  SPEAKER_01: Gotcha.
• 31:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 31:01
  SPEAKER_01: I always get that mixed up.
• 31:06
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 31:07
  SPEAKER_01: What is the radius of darkness?
• 31:09
  SPEAKER_01: I believe it's 15 feet.
• 31:12
  SPEAKER_01: So we're going to adjust this.
• 31:14
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm not messing with...
• 31:17
  SPEAKER_01: darkness thing or anything,
• 31:18
  but that radius for Joaquim is anyone within that radius is
• 31:22
  covered by darkness.
• 31:24
  SPEAKER_00: Weird question.
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_00: Go ahead.
• 31:29
  SPEAKER_00: I am wearing my belt of blindsight.
• 31:32
  If I were to hold hands with somebody,
• 31:37
  would it transfer that to them as well?
• 31:41
  SPEAKER_00: Transfer your blindsight?
• 31:47
  SPEAKER_00: My dagger of blindsight is why I can see in Joaquin's darkness.
• 31:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 31:55
  SPEAKER_00: But it's because I'm wearing it.
• 31:57
  So if I were to either hold hands or tie a scarf between me and
• 32:02
  somebody else,
• 32:04
  would the power then transfer to them as well and we would both
• 32:07
  have blindsight?
• 32:09
  SPEAKER_01: No, because it is an attunement item.
• 32:12
  SPEAKER_02: Damn it.
• 32:13
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, that's right.
• 32:14
  SPEAKER_02: I forgot.
• 32:14
  SPEAKER_01: If it was not an attunement item, there would be an Arcana check.
• 32:17
  SPEAKER_01: I would allow it.
• 32:19
  SPEAKER_01: But because it requires attunement for that benefit,
• 32:24
  there's nothing really that can go around it as far as you and
• 32:29
  the magical
• 32:31
  SPEAKER_01: knowledge that you possess as Lala.
• 32:35
  SPEAKER_00: Got it.
• 32:37
  uh someone with a little bit more magical prowess someone like
• 32:41
  wakim or kaida may
• 32:44
  be able to do that bavin probably definitely could do that
• 32:48
  temporarily transfer
• 32:49
  something like that but you as lala currently cannot it's a
• 32:58
  good thought though uh
• 33:03
  SPEAKER_01: what were you gonna say wakim
• 33:10
  SPEAKER_02: Never mind.
• 33:12
  SPEAKER_02: Continue on.
• 33:17
  SPEAKER_02: I got my darkness up,
• 33:18
  SPEAKER_02: but I would,
• 33:20
  SPEAKER_02: again,
• 33:20
  SPEAKER_02: I would then start moving up to the position where the shadow last was.
• 33:27
  SPEAKER_02: Can I see anything?
• 33:32
  SPEAKER_01: You do not see anything.
• 33:36
  SPEAKER_01: Let me see.
• 33:37
  SPEAKER_01: Your perception check was a 21.
• 33:38
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 33:42
  SPEAKER_01: You see the slightest glint of something in this brush over here.
• 33:53
  SPEAKER_01: Every so often.
• 33:55
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 33:59
  SPEAKER_01: You can't see through his darkness, correct?
• 34:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, you can.
• 34:04
  SPEAKER_01: You can see through it?
• 34:05
  SPEAKER_01: You just can't see when you're in it?
• 34:07
  SPEAKER_01: No, no, no.
• 34:08
  SPEAKER_01: Like me.
• 34:08
  SPEAKER_01: I can't see through it.
• 34:10
  SPEAKER_01: No, you can't see through it.
• 34:11
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 34:12
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm going to follow his darkness in the trees.
• 34:17
  SPEAKER_01: You can leap to like this tree here on that branch.
• 34:21
  SPEAKER_01: But I don't want to be in the darkness.
• 34:23
  SPEAKER_01: I just want to follow it because.
• 34:25
  SPEAKER_01: So you want to be on the outskirts of it, like there?
• 34:28
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 34:28
  SPEAKER_01: Because I can't see him, so.
• 34:34
  What is everyone else going to do in this moment as Hakeem is
• 34:38
  moving up with his darkness?
• 34:44
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to send Poppy back over here.
• 34:48
  SPEAKER_01: Back where you guys were?
• 34:49
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 34:50
  SPEAKER_01: So Poppy's going to fly back.
• 34:52
  SPEAKER_03: Stay low in the trees.
• 34:56
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 35:00
  SPEAKER_01: Are you staying where you currently are?
• 35:04
  SPEAKER_03: I'll follow Papa.
• 35:08
  It's going to take you a little longer to get up there,
• 35:10
  so you'll probably get there.
• 35:13
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, Deedle, what are you doing?
• 35:14
  SPEAKER_01: You're currently carrying a vegetable.
• 35:25
  SPEAKER_00: Wanna maybe carry this?
• 35:28
  SPEAKER_00: Help me?
• 35:28
  SPEAKER_00: You know, like, I toss it over?
• 35:30
  SPEAKER_01: To whom?
• 35:36
  SPEAKER_01: Who are you asking?
• 35:38
  SPEAKER_00: Who's the closest to me?
• 35:41
  SPEAKER_01: Mr. Belfast is the closest to you, but he just got shot in the shoulder.
• 35:43
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a bitch.
• 35:48
  You could ask Yanor as she's moving up to see if she can help
• 35:52
  you carry it so you
• 35:52
  SPEAKER_01: can move a little faster to stay with the group.
• 35:55
  SPEAKER_03: Can we stick him in a tree again?
• 35:57
  SPEAKER_03: Listen, it's the safest place for him.
• 36:07
  SPEAKER_01: This poor guy.
• 36:12
  SPEAKER_03: He's fine.
• 36:14
  SPEAKER_01: If you want to stick him in a tree again, sure.
• 36:16
  SPEAKER_01: You could drape him over a tree branch again.
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 36:21
  SPEAKER_03: Just ass up.
• 36:26
  SPEAKER_01: So, Deedle, you're pretty close to a tree here.
• 36:29
  If you're going to do that,
• 36:30
  you can,
• 36:30
  like,
• 36:31
  drape him over that tree branch.
• 36:34
  SPEAKER_00: That works.
• 36:35
  SPEAKER_01: He's kind of folded at the waist, just there.
• 36:39
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 36:41
  And then are you going to stay back or are you going to move up
• 36:45
  like Inor is?
• 36:46
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to move up.
• 36:50
  So you're also going to probably move at the same speed as Inor
• 36:53
  currently.
• 36:58
  SPEAKER_01: The puppy is going to follow Poppy just out of instinct.
• 37:03
  SPEAKER_01: It sees Poppy fly off.
• 37:05
  SPEAKER_01: It wants to be with Poppy.
• 37:13
  SPEAKER_01: Lala, where are you going to be?
• 37:16
  SPEAKER_00: Sorry, I missed what happened to Mr. Belfast.
• 37:23
  SPEAKER_00: He was here.
• 37:24
  SPEAKER_00: He's not.
• 37:25
  SPEAKER_01: He should be.
• 37:26
  SPEAKER_01: He's right behind you.
• 37:26
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 37:30
  SPEAKER_01: This one.
• 37:31
  SPEAKER_01: Can you see him?
• 37:32
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 37:33
  SPEAKER_00: Is he cool?
• 37:35
  SPEAKER_00: Is he back up and walking?
• 37:37
  SPEAKER_01: He's standing back up.
• 37:38
  SPEAKER_01: His shoulder's bleeding, but he's standing back up.
• 37:42
  cool okay um yeah at this moment in time she's gonna stay near
• 37:52
  the those two the
• 37:53
  last two and make sure that everybody's cool god that really
• 38:04
  hurt my shoulder at
• 38:07
  least they didn't explode or get stuck though i don't know what
• 38:10
  we'd do if i lost
• 38:11
  SPEAKER_01: my arm
• 38:14
  SPEAKER_01: I guess that's payback for cutting off that guy's hands and feet.
• 38:18
  SPEAKER_00: Was it one of yours?
• 38:22
  SPEAKER_01: One of my what?
• 38:23
  SPEAKER_00: The gun.
• 38:24
  SPEAKER_00: I assume you probably know your things inside out.
• 38:29
  SPEAKER_01: I mean,
• 38:29
  SPEAKER_01: I probably had some hand in manufacturing it,
• 38:31
  but a lot of people that buy guns from me add their own
• 38:34
  modifications to it.
• 38:39
  SPEAKER_00: Now is not the time for your ego...
• 38:42
  SPEAKER_01: But he he's also moving up with, you know, indeed.
• 38:46
  So I'd say over the course of this,
• 38:48
  you guys can probably catch up with Krakka like here.
• 38:56
  SPEAKER_01: The question is,
• 38:57
  are you moving any further than Krakka because you would teams
• 39:03
  got a darkness fear
• 39:05
  SPEAKER_01: right here.
• 39:05
  SPEAKER_01: So.
• 39:10
  SPEAKER_00: I'll go.
• 39:31
  SPEAKER_01: Lala, in your head, you hear Nosferatu.
• 39:34
  SPEAKER_01: Stay still.
• 39:40
  SPEAKER_00: He stops.
• 39:42
  SPEAKER_00: What is it?
• 39:42
  SPEAKER_00: What's going on?
• 39:47
  SPEAKER_01: Going to be surrounded.
• 39:48
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, that's too many questions.
• 39:55
  SPEAKER_00: By what?
• 40:02
  SPEAKER_01: A group of individuals?
• 40:06
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 40:07
  SPEAKER_01: I don't recognize them.
• 40:08
  SPEAKER_01: I vaguely recognize them, but not really.
• 40:11
  SPEAKER_02: How do you know?
• 40:15
  SPEAKER_02: Is it magic?
• 40:16
  SPEAKER_02: What are you feeling right now?
• 40:19
  SPEAKER_01: He has true sight.
• 40:23
  SPEAKER_01: Not what I'm feeling.
• 40:24
  SPEAKER_01: It's what I'm seeing.
• 40:26
  SPEAKER_01: Kind of.
• 40:29
  SPEAKER_01: They're hard to see.
• 40:30
  SPEAKER_01: They've camouflaged themselves well.
• 40:33
  SPEAKER_00: I thought we had as well.
• 40:38
  SPEAKER_00: She is going to use psionic whispers.
• 40:45
  SPEAKER_00: And she will tell.
• 40:47
  SPEAKER_00: What?
• 40:48
  SPEAKER_01: I have to look at that again.
• 40:50
  SPEAKER_01: I forget what that does.
• 40:51
  SPEAKER_01: Oh.
• 40:53
  SPEAKER_00: As an action, choose up to four creatures.
• 40:55
  You can see roll my psionic dice for a number of hours equal to
• 41:00
  the number rolled.
• 41:01
  SPEAKER_00: And we can speak telepathically.
• 41:05
  SPEAKER_00: As long as we are within one mile.
• 41:07
  SPEAKER_01: So roll your D6 for your psionic dice?
• 41:10
  SPEAKER_00: D8.
• 41:10
  SPEAKER_00: D8?
• 41:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 41:12
  SPEAKER_01: Let's hope the number actually comes through.
• 41:16
  SPEAKER_00: Three.
• 41:17
  SPEAKER_01: So for three hours, who are you targeting for telepathic communication?
• 41:25
  SPEAKER_00: The team plus Mr. Belf.
• 41:28
  SPEAKER_00: No, that's right.
• 41:29
  SPEAKER_00: Just the team then.
• 41:33
  SPEAKER_01: How many people was it that you could talk with?
• 41:35
  SPEAKER_00: Four.
• 41:35
  SPEAKER_00: Up to four.
• 41:40
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 41:43
  SPEAKER_01: So you are now all telepathically linked for four hours.
• 41:46
  SPEAKER_01: Or for three hours.
• 41:47
  SPEAKER_00: Three hours.
• 41:49
  SPEAKER_00: She is going to tell them what Nosferatu told her.
• 41:56
  SPEAKER_02: What Nosferatu?
• 41:57
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 41:57
  SPEAKER_02: Joaquin would then respond telepathically.
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_02: There's something glinting in this tree here.
• 42:04
  SPEAKER_02: I think our shooter's up here.
• 42:07
  SPEAKER_02: Can I, um... So, he destroyed a shadow.
• 42:12
  SPEAKER_02: What ha... I mean, can I bring them back?
• 42:14
  SPEAKER_01: Something destroyed a shadow.
• 42:16
  SPEAKER_02: Huh?
• 42:18
  SPEAKER_01: Something destroyed a shadow.
• 42:19
  SPEAKER_01: There was no blast when the shadow went.
• 42:24
  SPEAKER_01: Was not a firearm.
• 42:28
  SPEAKER_02: But my shadow's destroyed.
• 42:30
  SPEAKER_02: Can I summon it back?
• 42:34
  SPEAKER_01: Let me look at your shadows.
• 42:38
  SPEAKER_01: And I can tell you... Even the shadow hit a tripwire.
• 42:41
  SPEAKER_00: Why are you guys so loud?
• 42:43
  SPEAKER_01: Did I not account for when a shadow gets killed?
• 42:47
  SPEAKER_01: In this...
• 43:07
  that I created for you I don't think I did I did it is gone
• 43:25
  it's gone completely
• 43:30
  SPEAKER_01: yes if it gets destroyed it does not return to the
• 43:35
  pocket dimension the void filled pocket dimension where does it
• 43:39
  say that only if
• 43:41
  it's dismissed it doesn't get returned to the void filled
• 43:44
  pocket dimension uh so if
• 43:46
  you look on your features and traits if you look in storm
• 43:54
  shadow it is like the
• 43:58
  SPEAKER_01: third paragraph
• 44:01
  SPEAKER_01: You can look at this,
• 44:02
  the shadow created in this way remains active for five minutes
• 44:05
  until it is
• 44:05
  SPEAKER_01: destroyed or until it is dismissed at a free action.
• 44:09
  SPEAKER_01: Then it goes on if you're becoming capacitated.
• 44:12
  And then after that,
• 44:13
  it's a dismissed shadow will return to a void pocket dimension.
• 44:16
  A dismissed shadow will return to a void pocket dimension until
• 44:18
  you summon it again.
• 44:21
  SPEAKER_01: But if it is destroyed, it cannot return back to that dimension.
• 44:25
  SPEAKER_01: OK.
• 44:30
  SPEAKER_02: Since I'm right here and I see the glinting in the tree,
• 44:33
  SPEAKER_02: can I see this guy now or do I need to make a perception check?
• 44:41
  SPEAKER_01: With your perception check that you're using to keep an eye out,
• 44:44
  SPEAKER_01: you don't see anything but the glinting in the bushes.
• 44:53
  SPEAKER_01: However, I'm going to pause you there because Yenor, in your head,
• 45:00
  SPEAKER_01: You hear a voice that doesn't really talk to you all that much.
• 45:06
  SPEAKER_03: Dawnbringer?
• 45:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 45:07
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 45:09
  SPEAKER_01: I think we should be careful.
• 45:16
  SPEAKER_03: Why?
• 45:16
  SPEAKER_01: This feels familiar.
• 45:18
  SPEAKER_03: Would I know what she's talking about or no?
• 45:26
  SPEAKER_01: She doesn't know what she's talking about.
• 45:29
  SPEAKER_01: There's just something that feels familiar.
• 45:32
  SPEAKER_01: Whether it's a presence or the situation.
• 45:36
  SPEAKER_03: I would relay that via the mental link.
• 45:43
  SPEAKER_01: And then you may continue, Joaquin.
• 45:44
  SPEAKER_02: I guess I'll just move here.
• 45:53
  SPEAKER_02: Put the whole damn tree in darkness.
• 46:06
  SPEAKER_01: Don't you move an inch and you feel a blade at your back.
• 46:12
  SPEAKER_02: You can see me.
• 46:16
  SPEAKER_01: She and there's a sword currently at your back and.
• 46:24
  You feel out of this thing,
• 46:30
  what you can see is a giant construct that is very injured.
• 46:37
  SPEAKER_01: with this rabbit-like humanoid kind of in its chest cavity,
• 46:43
  SPEAKER_01: just barely holding up its sniper rifle.
• 46:53
  SPEAKER_03: What's Bavin's guard's name?
• 46:54
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, roll a history check.
• 47:01
  SPEAKER_03: I met him.
• 47:01
  SPEAKER_03: We talked.
• 47:02
  SPEAKER_03: We had a lot.
• 47:07
  SPEAKER_01: But we don't know this.
• 47:08
  SPEAKER_03: No, we did because we met him.
• 47:12
  SPEAKER_01: You met all of his guards, but you spent the most time with some of them.
• 47:15
  SPEAKER_01: 21.
• 47:15
  SPEAKER_01: This looks like Jackson Hammerson.
• 47:23
  SPEAKER_03: I can't see him, though.
• 47:24
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 47:25
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 47:26
  SPEAKER_01: So you don't know what's going on.
• 47:27
  But based on that,
• 47:31
  Draven Crescent Moon and Jackson Hammerson very injured.
• 47:43
  SPEAKER_01: Lala.
• 47:44
  SPEAKER_00: They were hidden before.
• 47:46
  SPEAKER_01: They were.
• 47:47
  SPEAKER_01: And unfortunately, you got a knife around your neck.
• 47:52
  SPEAKER_01: The who?
• 47:55
  As a General Zara Yorn comes out of the tree and has a blade to
• 48:06
  your throat and a
• 48:07
  SPEAKER_01: longsword pointed up into the tree at you,
• 48:10
  SPEAKER_01: Krakka.
• 48:17
  SPEAKER_03: I can see her at least, right?
• 48:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 48:21
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to yell her name.
• 48:24
  SPEAKER_01: They are battered, bruised, cut up, more caked in muck than you all are.
• 48:31
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to switch Dawnbringer off and hold her up and yell her name.
• 48:36
  SPEAKER_00: How dare you be sneakier than I?
• 48:40
  SPEAKER_00: That's really impressive considering she's huge.
• 48:46
  SPEAKER_00: She's smacking at her hand,
• 48:47
  SPEAKER_00: not...
• 48:52
  SPEAKER_01: One wrong move and you're not going to have a head,
• 48:54
  SPEAKER_01: little lady.
• 48:55
  SPEAKER_03: Zara, be nice.
• 48:59
  SPEAKER_01: What's with the hospital?
• 49:00
  SPEAKER_01: I'm here for him.
• 49:02
  SPEAKER_01: And she points at Mr. Belfast.
• 49:06
  SPEAKER_03: I can't let that happen.
• 49:08
  SPEAKER_03: He's fine.
• 49:11
  SPEAKER_03: We can help.
• 49:13
  SPEAKER_01: How are you going to help someone that left us for dead?
• 49:16
  SPEAKER_03: He's helping me.
• 49:19
  SPEAKER_01: And he sold us out so he could escape that city.
• 49:26
  SPEAKER_03: He was a prisoner.
• 49:30
  SPEAKER_01: Was he?
• 49:30
  SPEAKER_01: He was in a cage.
• 49:33
  SPEAKER_00: Are we surprised at this?
• 49:35
  SPEAKER_00: Are you sure?
• 49:38
  SPEAKER_03: I saved him from the cage.
• 49:40
  SPEAKER_01: Did you ask him any details?
• 49:44
  SPEAKER_01: About how he got there.
• 49:46
  SPEAKER_03: I actually I don't remember.
• 49:48
  SPEAKER_01: You did not.
• 49:51
  SPEAKER_01: None of you asked him any details about anything.
• 49:55
  SPEAKER_01: Except for he paid for charter out of the city and then got caught.
• 50:01
  SPEAKER_01: That was the only details he gave you.
• 50:05
  SPEAKER_01: And you guys like, OK.
• 50:10
  SPEAKER_02: He got into a tussle with
• 50:14
  with with bavin and he got knocked out and lost bavin and then
• 50:20
  was there he did say
• 50:21
  that but no one insight checked him he was my friend none of
• 50:29
  you insight checked
• 50:30
  anything he told you you insight checked everyone else except
• 50:33
  for mr belfast
• 50:38
  SPEAKER_00: reasonably i already knew he was a liar so what was the point
• 50:44
  SPEAKER_00: Nobody listens to me.
• 50:47
  SPEAKER_01: Listen, listen.
• 50:49
  SPEAKER_01: I did not sell them out.
• 50:53
  SPEAKER_01: Might look like that.
• 50:56
  SPEAKER_01: They might think that.
• 50:58
  SPEAKER_01: But I did not sell them out.
• 51:02
  SPEAKER_01: I was talking a lot about everyone's freedom.
• 51:07
  SPEAKER_03: Why are they mostly dead?
• 51:11
  SPEAKER_01: Because they refused to let me give money to the bad guys.
• 51:19
  SPEAKER_01: They said they could handle it if we all got captured together.
• 51:23
  SPEAKER_01: I prefer to speak with gold, not this.
• 51:27
  SPEAKER_01: And he pulls out his sword.
• 51:32
  Well,
• 51:33
  then what happened to,
• 51:35
  you know,
• 51:37
  our meat sack back there in the tree?
• 51:41
  SPEAKER_01: What about him?
• 51:43
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you said you don't prefer to speak with that.
• 51:45
  I don't,
• 51:46
  but I was given permission because he wasn't giving us the
• 51:48
  answers we wanted.
• 51:51
  Your little one there and then the ordained investigator here
• 51:55
  decided that more
• 51:56
  SPEAKER_01: aggressive tactics were needed to get the information that we needed.
• 52:05
  SPEAKER_01: Could have bribed him.
• 52:06
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe he would have talked.
• 52:08
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't have access to my money.
• 52:11
  SPEAKER_01: He didn't know that.
• 52:17
  SPEAKER_01: Anyways, can we all just put the weapons down?
• 52:24
  SPEAKER_01: We are friends here.
• 52:25
  I won't even hold the fact that I got shot in the shoulder
• 52:29
  against you,
• 52:30
  Jackson.
• 52:37
  SPEAKER_01: There's a tense few breaths that feels like it stretches on for a while.
• 52:52
  SPEAKER_01: Aura speaks up.
• 52:53
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 52:55
  SPEAKER_01: Stand down.
• 52:58
  SPEAKER_01: We trust these guys anyway.
• 52:59
  SPEAKER_01: And obviously he's done something to help them out.
• 53:04
  SPEAKER_01: So let's see what he has to say.
• 53:06
  SPEAKER_01: And then Jackson, if you still want, you can shoot him in the head.
• 53:10
  SPEAKER_00: Has he, though?
• 53:11
  SPEAKER_00: Has he done something to help us?
• 53:15
  This being translated directly into Yonora's head harder than
• 53:20
  anyone else's.
• 53:26
  SPEAKER_03: The depot place we're going to.
• 53:32
  SPEAKER_00: We don't know if that's real or not yet.
• 53:34
  SPEAKER_00: We still haven't made it there.
• 53:37
  SPEAKER_00: It could still be a lie.
• 53:38
  SPEAKER_00: I warned you about this.
• 53:39
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, he's been lying to us the whole time, so she could be right.
• 53:47
  SPEAKER_01: Nah, I have not been lying.
• 53:49
  SPEAKER_01: I was not talking out loud.
• 53:50
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay.
• 53:54
  We're all just looking very weird with lots of head back and
• 53:57
  forth as we listen to
• 53:58
  SPEAKER_00: each other in our own heads.
• 54:01
  SPEAKER_01: There are no longer swords and knives at anyone's back or neck.
• 54:12
  SPEAKER_01: So, Joaquim and Lala, you are both released from immediate danger.
• 54:32
  SPEAKER_01: So what's the plan now?
• 54:35
  I don't think we ever got to who the leader of your group is
• 54:44
  while you were in my fishing port.
• 54:48
  SPEAKER_01: Should I be dealing with the captain or the investigator?
• 54:53
  SPEAKER_00: We're more of a co-op situation.
• 55:01
  SPEAKER_02: I'll be activating that.
• 55:05
  SPEAKER_01: What was that?
• 55:07
  SPEAKER_02: I dropped darkness.
• 55:09
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 55:11
  SPEAKER_01: So I will remove your...
• 55:16
  SPEAKER_01: So now,
• 55:17
  the rest of you see Draven Crescent Moon and Jackson Hammerson
• 55:24
  with a very,
• 55:26
  SPEAKER_01: very beat-up construct.
• 55:32
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, and they're all quite badly injured.
• 55:36
  SPEAKER_01: Whoa.
• 55:50
  SPEAKER_01: I guess we should go collect our meat sack and the others.
• 55:57
  SPEAKER_01: Poppy the puppy, et cetera.
• 56:06
  SPEAKER_03: Can I just call for Poppy?
• 56:08
  SPEAKER_03: Sure.
• 56:10
  SPEAKER_01: You'd call for Poppy.
• 56:12
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'll just do that.
• 56:16
  SPEAKER_01: You hear, uh, because her flash speed is pretty fast.
• 56:22
  She lands and grabs the meat sack and just kind of drops him on
• 56:30
  a tree closest to you.
• 56:36
  Unfortunately,
• 56:37
  she is not graceful with that,
• 56:39
  and he falls out of the tree.
• 56:43
  SPEAKER_01: Did it go, like, squish in the mud?
• 56:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, like that wet slap sound?
• 56:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, like... Yeah.
• 56:50
  SPEAKER_01: Like, yeah.
• 56:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 57:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah,
• 57:10
  SPEAKER_01: we heard some commotion out here,
• 57:12
  SPEAKER_01: so we came out to investigate,
• 57:14
  SPEAKER_01: and lo and behold,
• 57:15
  SPEAKER_01: it's the guy we've been looking for.
• 57:18
  SPEAKER_01: We figured we'd capture him, we might be able to trade him for Bavin.
• 57:22
  SPEAKER_03: You know where Bavin is?
• 57:24
  SPEAKER_01: I have his hat.
• 57:26
  SPEAKER_01: We think we know who has him.
• 57:29
  SPEAKER_03: How about we all get to a safe place and heal up a little bit?
• 57:37
  SPEAKER_01: The safe place.
• 57:38
  SPEAKER_01: We're in the middle of the most dangerous area.
• 57:43
  SPEAKER_03: He says he's got a safe place.
• 57:46
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, at least it's a shelter.
• 57:49
  SPEAKER_01: Might not be safe, but it's a roof, maybe.
• 57:52
  SPEAKER_03: We'll make it safe.
• 57:54
  SPEAKER_03: We'll figure it out.
• 57:57
  SPEAKER_01: There are some Belfast industry structures a few miles out.
• 58:06
  SPEAKER_01: But in everyone's current condition, we're not going to make it there.
• 58:10
  SPEAKER_01: We have a camp, a little camp set up in a cave right down over here.
• 58:14
  SPEAKER_03: I have potions.
• 58:16
  SPEAKER_03: Do you want some potions?
• 58:22
  SPEAKER_01: We'll manage that.
• 58:24
  SPEAKER_01: Let's all get to the cave.
• 58:26
  SPEAKER_00: OK.
• 58:27
  SPEAKER_01: Make sure he doesn't do anything funny.
• 58:32
  SPEAKER_01: Because next time Jackson's not going to miss his head.
• 58:35
  SPEAKER_03: He'll behave.
• 58:37
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to give Belfast a look.
• 58:42
  SPEAKER_00: No worries.
• 58:43
  SPEAKER_00: He's never said anything funny once the whole time we've had him.
• 58:47
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to walk behind Mr. Belfast as we go towards the gate.
• 58:57
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 59:00
  SPEAKER_01: Giving him the whole, like, my eyes are on you.
• 59:02
  SPEAKER_01: Like, gesture.
• 59:03
  SPEAKER_01: Finger gesture.
• 59:06
  SPEAKER_01: So this does slow your group down quite a bit.
• 59:09
  SPEAKER_01: You have,
• 59:10
  SPEAKER_01: even though they're significantly stronger than you guys are,
• 59:15
  SPEAKER_01: they are extremely exhausted and injured.
• 59:22
  SPEAKER_01: Kind of paranoid.
• 59:27
  SPEAKER_01: Not entirely sure everything that they've gone through thus far.
• 59:38
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, let me get the cave here set up.
• 1:00:00
  SPEAKER_01: That potato sack can go there.
• 1:00:04
  SPEAKER_01: I'll have
• 1:00:07
  SPEAKER_01: Belfast can go in the middle.
• 1:00:18
  SPEAKER_01: While you are all walking to this cave,
• 1:00:23
  SPEAKER_01: Deedle,
• 1:00:26
  you have this faint sense of recognition past when you had
• 1:00:33
  first met on the airship
• 1:00:35
  SPEAKER_01: with Draven Crescent.
• 1:00:46
  SPEAKER_01: But you're not quite sure where that's coming from yet.
• 1:00:57
  It's going to take you a little bit to get back to where they
• 1:01:00
  have a small camp set up.
• 1:01:02
  SPEAKER_01: Is there anything you all want to do in this time?
• 1:01:16
  wash up is that a mountain you wash up with mud you'll just get
• 1:01:22
  more muddy who
• 1:01:25
  knows perhaps they you know found a spring or something so i'd
• 1:01:35
  say after about oh
• 1:01:36
  go ahead no you go first i was gonna have you fast all the cave
• 1:01:41
  but you continue
• 1:01:44
  SPEAKER_02: I was going to look at the compass for the closest fresh water source.
• 1:01:49
  SPEAKER_01: It is pointing in the direction that you are moving.
• 1:01:51
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 1:01:55
  SPEAKER_02: I'm just going to follow that.
• 1:02:03
  I will say as you get closer to the cave,
• 1:02:05
  it starts kind of bouncing around.
• 1:02:06
  SPEAKER_02: Let the group know that at least we want something here.
• 1:02:20
  SPEAKER_01: After,
• 1:02:20
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know,
• 1:02:21
  SPEAKER_01: I'd say about an hour's worth of slugging through the muckmore,
• 1:02:28
  you may have to adjust your screens for this to scroll to the
• 1:02:34
  visible area of the
• 1:02:36
  SPEAKER_01: map.
• 1:02:40
  SPEAKER_01: You end up in this small little cave area with some under
• 1:02:50
  SPEAKER_01: With an underwater lake.
• 1:02:56
  SPEAKER_02: Clean line for the lake and then just start washing.
• 1:02:59
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:03:01
  SPEAKER_01: So that'll be over here.
• 1:03:03
  SPEAKER_01: This is the water edge.
• 1:03:08
  SPEAKER_01: So that's like the start of the underwater lake.
• 1:03:17
  SPEAKER_01: It is indeed fresh water.
• 1:03:23
  SPEAKER_02: Thank goodness.
• 1:03:26
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to do the same thing over here.
• 1:03:31
  SPEAKER_01: I'm also going to pull out my mess kit and clean it.
• 1:03:38
  SPEAKER_01: Because I'm sure it's got all muck in it too.
• 1:03:42
  SPEAKER_01: It's a little dirty, yeah.
• 1:03:57
  SPEAKER_01: I sent someone.
• 1:03:59
  SPEAKER_01: Jackson.
• 1:04:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:04:01
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know where he went.
• 1:04:31
  SPEAKER_01: Jackson and Draven kind of come over here,
• 1:04:36
  SPEAKER_01: and even though they're injured,
• 1:04:37
  SPEAKER_01: they're watching the entrance.
• 1:04:44
  And Zara walks up to the center here with you,
• 1:04:47
  Yenor,
• 1:04:47
  and Mr.
• 1:04:48
  Belfast is here as well.
• 1:04:52
  SPEAKER_01: First, what's up with the meat sack?
• 1:05:00
  SPEAKER_03: He was a threat.
• 1:05:01
  SPEAKER_03: We neutralized the threat.
• 1:05:04
  SPEAKER_03: Then I went into his head.
• 1:05:07
  SPEAKER_03: And then I was attacked.
• 1:05:10
  SPEAKER_03: And now he's a meat sack.
• 1:05:14
  SPEAKER_01: Did you neutralize the threat by removing parts of his body?
• 1:05:19
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 1:05:22
  SPEAKER_03: I was going to fix him eventually.
• 1:05:24
  SPEAKER_03: That was the plan.
• 1:05:28
  SPEAKER_03: But now he's a meat sack.
• 1:05:30
  SPEAKER_03: And I don't know for how long.
• 1:05:32
  SPEAKER_03: It's been like a couple days.
• 1:05:38
  SPEAKER_01: That's problematic.
• 1:05:39
  SPEAKER_03: A little bit.
• 1:05:41
  SPEAKER_03: He's really heavy.
• 1:05:42
  SPEAKER_03: I carried him for a little bit.
• 1:05:44
  SPEAKER_03: Then Dee carried him.
• 1:05:46
  SPEAKER_03: He's been stuck in a tree for a little bit.
• 1:05:49
  SPEAKER_03: We had to fight zombies.
• 1:05:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's why we avoided that part of the swamp.
• 1:05:58
  SPEAKER_03: A little heads up would have been nice.
• 1:06:00
  SPEAKER_01: Heads up how?
• 1:06:03
  SPEAKER_03: Post a sign in a tree?
• 1:06:04
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:06:07
  SPEAKER_01: We didn't come from that direction.
• 1:06:10
  SPEAKER_03: Poor Dawnbreaker had to get in a workout.
• 1:06:12
  SPEAKER_01: Fine, she's built for that.
• 1:06:15
  SPEAKER_03: She's cleaner than I am.
• 1:06:32
  SPEAKER_02: Is there a fire?
• 1:06:36
  SPEAKER_01: There is the stuff to start a fire.
• 1:06:39
  Once I'm done cleaning up and cleaning the mess,
• 1:06:42
  I'm going to go start a fire.
• 1:06:44
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to cook some food, but I'll just start with the fire.
• 1:06:54
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 1:06:55
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 1:07:13
  SPEAKER_01: I'd say after about five or ten minutes or so,
• 1:07:16
  SPEAKER_01: those of you that are cleaning the muck off are sufficiently clean.
• 1:07:35
  SPEAKER_02: Wonderful.
• 1:07:35
  SPEAKER_02: So I look back and I just kind of say, what the fuck is going on here?
• 1:07:44
  SPEAKER_01: To whom?
• 1:07:49
  SPEAKER_01: Everyone.
• 1:07:55
  SPEAKER_01: Mr. Belfast speaks up.
• 1:07:56
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you found me in a prison.
• 1:07:59
  SPEAKER_01: You rescued me.
• 1:08:00
  SPEAKER_01: We blew up the prison ship.
• 1:08:01
  SPEAKER_01: Shut up.
• 1:08:04
  SPEAKER_02: Not you.
• 1:08:04
  SPEAKER_02: Not you.
• 1:08:07
  SPEAKER_02: And then I'll point to everyone else.
• 1:08:11
  SPEAKER_02: Everyone but him.
• 1:08:13
  SPEAKER_02: What the hell is going on?
• 1:08:22
  SPEAKER_01: Zara speaks up.
• 1:08:24
  SPEAKER_01: Well, after you guys left my fishing port, it was overrun.
• 1:08:34
  We did not have the firepower to hold back the fleet that was
• 1:08:42
  coming in and assaulting us.
• 1:08:47
  SPEAKER_01: It was a directed attack.
• 1:08:51
  SPEAKER_01: led by the Pirate Admiral himself.
• 1:09:00
  SPEAKER_01: Most of my men got killed.
• 1:09:07
  SPEAKER_01: Myself and a few of my officers got captured,
• 1:09:09
  SPEAKER_01: though those officers have been long beheaded by the Admiral.
• 1:09:18
  SPEAKER_01: I'm assuming under the command of the Queen,
• 1:09:20
  SPEAKER_01: but they were beheaded at sea,
• 1:09:22
  SPEAKER_01: so there's no real trial.
• 1:09:23
  SPEAKER_01: I was brought back to somewhere.
• 1:09:29
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not entirely sure where it wasn't pirate Isles.
• 1:09:33
  SPEAKER_01: It was somewhere else.
• 1:09:35
  SPEAKER_01: It's cold.
• 1:09:40
  SPEAKER_01: Tortured.
• 1:09:44
  SPEAKER_01: Starved.
• 1:09:49
  SPEAKER_01: Then, more people got thrown in my cell.
• 1:09:53
  SPEAKER_01: Probably, I don't know, a week later, a few days later.
• 1:09:58
  SPEAKER_01: It's hard to keep track of time.
• 1:10:01
  SPEAKER_01: And wouldn't you know it, it was my good friends.
• 1:10:06
  SPEAKER_01: Mr. Jackson here and Ms.
• 1:10:10
  SPEAKER_01: Draven.
• 1:10:11
  SPEAKER_01: Davin was there for a little bit, but they took him somewhere else.
• 1:10:25
  SPEAKER_01: They took him to me.
• 1:10:25
  SPEAKER_01: I was trying to work out a deal.
• 1:10:28
  SPEAKER_01: It didn't go well.
• 1:10:35
  SPEAKER_01: Anyway, because I don't want to hear you talk anymore.
• 1:10:42
  During a shift change,
• 1:10:44
  we had successfully broken out of wherever we were.
• 1:10:51
  SPEAKER_01: Escaped.
• 1:10:54
  SPEAKER_01: commandeered a boat and got out.
• 1:11:00
  SPEAKER_01: Unfortunately,
• 1:11:03
  SPEAKER_01: we did not have any of our equipment,
• 1:11:04
  SPEAKER_01: so we could not get back to get Bavin or Mr.
• 1:11:11
  SPEAKER_01: Belfast out.
• 1:11:12
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm not entirely sure how Mr. Belfast got out.
• 1:11:29
  SPEAKER_01: We were trying to make our way somewhere,
• 1:11:35
  SPEAKER_01: but the entire coast where those islands were,
• 1:11:40
  SPEAKER_01: it's ravaged.
• 1:11:45
  SPEAKER_01: Raids upon raids, they're looking for something.
• 1:11:49
  SPEAKER_01: And we moved inland.
• 1:11:56
  SPEAKER_01: But we're technically not supposed to be here.
• 1:12:02
  SPEAKER_01: And the kingdom doesn't like trespassers.
• 1:12:08
  I was working on getting to the city of Keldis,
• 1:12:12
  trying to find a path through.
• 1:12:13
  We were scouting the swamp and we heard some commotion far off
• 1:12:20
  in the distance.
• 1:12:21
  SPEAKER_01: Jackson heard it, actually, off on one of his scouting missions.
• 1:12:26
  SPEAKER_01: Came back, said he saw Mr. Belfast.
• 1:12:28
  SPEAKER_01: So I was like, we got to wait here.
• 1:12:30
  SPEAKER_01: See if he comes up through here trying to get to his buildings out here.
• 1:12:38
  SPEAKER_01: Lo and behold, we ran into you guys.
• 1:12:43
  SPEAKER_01: Apologies.
• 1:12:44
  SPEAKER_01: The threat was not meant to be towards you all.
• 1:12:49
  SPEAKER_01: It was mostly meant to be towards Mr. Belfast.
• 1:12:57
  SPEAKER_01: And yeah, that's about how we how we ended up where we are now.
• 1:13:13
  I look back at you,
• 1:13:14
  Nora and the rest of the group,
• 1:13:16
  and then I look at Belfast.
• 1:13:24
  SPEAKER_02: I just think to the rest of the group, what do you guys want to do?
• 1:13:28
  SPEAKER_02: But I say that telepathically, since we're still linked, right?
• 1:13:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 1:13:32
  Yep.
• 1:13:42
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, we came up, we are here to go to a storage house.
• 1:13:45
  SPEAKER_02: What are we going to do?
• 1:13:45
  SPEAKER_02: Just hand him over and then turn around and leave?
• 1:13:52
  SPEAKER_01: We would have wasted a journey at least coming out here.
• 1:13:56
  SPEAKER_03: We should still try to get there just to see if there's anything useful.
• 1:14:01
  SPEAKER_03: We have nothing currently.
• 1:14:03
  SPEAKER_02: And then afterwards we can hand him over.
• 1:14:08
  SPEAKER_01: Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 1:14:09
  SPEAKER_01: Hand me over to who?
• 1:14:11
  SPEAKER_01: Sorry, telepathically.
• 1:14:16
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, this is all telepathic.
• 1:14:20
  SPEAKER_02: Joaquin will speak up telepathically to this new group.
• 1:14:26
  SPEAKER_02: Well,
• 1:14:27
  SPEAKER_02: again,
• 1:14:27
  he owes us some equipment and some stuff that we need for where
• 1:14:31
  we're heading to
• 1:14:32
  SPEAKER_02: next.
• 1:14:33
  SPEAKER_02: Beyond that, Joaquin kind of looks at him.
• 1:14:37
  SPEAKER_02: I got no love for the guy.
• 1:14:39
  SPEAKER_02: You can do with him what you will,
• 1:14:41
  SPEAKER_02: or you can accompany us to his hideaway and then take what you want.
• 1:14:46
  SPEAKER_02: Let him deal with it.
• 1:14:48
  SPEAKER_02: Since he seems like he owes you.
• 1:14:52
  SPEAKER_02: And you do like to pay with money, right?
• 1:14:55
  SPEAKER_02: Looking at Belfast.
• 1:14:57
  SPEAKER_01: I do.
• 1:14:57
  SPEAKER_01: Money speaks volumes.
• 1:15:01
  SPEAKER_02: Then I'm sure you don't mind ponying up some to everybody in here, right?
• 1:15:05
  SPEAKER_02: Or maybe something else.
• 1:15:05
  I don't see a problem with that as long as my esteemed
• 1:15:13
  colleagues here would accept
• 1:15:15
  SPEAKER_01: a cash payment.
• 1:15:19
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, your workhouse is supposed to have some amazing tech.
• 1:15:22
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe they'll take some tech too.
• 1:15:29
  SPEAKER_02: How much is your freedom worth to you?
• 1:15:32
  SPEAKER_00: I'm interested in furthering exploring this else business besides money.
• 1:15:39
  Yeah,
• 1:15:42
  I don't mean to sound like a dick,
• 1:15:43
  but I really don't think you have a choice.
• 1:15:49
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, there's always a choice.
• 1:15:56
  SPEAKER_01: But, for now at least, the choice is simple.
• 1:16:07
  SPEAKER_01: This is hurting business.
• 1:16:10
  And the quickest way for this whole situation to stop hurting
• 1:16:13
  business is for me to
• 1:16:15
  SPEAKER_01: pay all of you back for your
• 1:16:19
  SPEAKER_01: generosity,
• 1:16:22
  and then further pay you for additional services in returning
• 1:16:26
  the world to the
• 1:16:27
  SPEAKER_01: state in which I can continue to profit from my businesses.
• 1:16:32
  SPEAKER_03: It's also the right thing to do.
• 1:16:36
  SPEAKER_00: How in the shit is war unprofitable for a weapons manufacturer?
• 1:16:47
  SPEAKER_01: Listen, I don't sell my weapons to the unscrupulous types.
• 1:16:52
  SPEAKER_00: I think you have a choice.
• 1:16:53
  People always think that they're making choices about where and
• 1:16:57
  how they sell
• 1:16:57
  SPEAKER_00: things,
• 1:16:58
  SPEAKER_00: but that's just not the case.
• 1:17:01
  Because if you want,
• 1:17:02
  like,
• 1:17:02
  a specific organ,
• 1:17:03
  I can get it for you,
• 1:17:05
  whether it's legal or not.
• 1:17:09
  SPEAKER_01: I mean... Like his hands and feet?
• 1:17:15
  SPEAKER_00: Precisely.
• 1:17:17
  SPEAKER_00: You've seen firsthand what your scruples.
• 1:17:25
  When you make your business deals,
• 1:17:28
  who says that you're not dealing with a middleman?
• 1:17:30
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, that would be my lawyer.
• 1:17:37
  SPEAKER_00: Your lawyer's a sucker.
• 1:17:39
  SPEAKER_00: He doesn't care.
• 1:17:40
  SPEAKER_00: He doesn't have the same scruples as you.
• 1:17:42
  SPEAKER_00: He's a liar.
• 1:17:43
  SPEAKER_00: Just like you.
• 1:17:46
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't lie, I just embellished a little bit.
• 1:17:49
  SPEAKER_00: Your lawyer's embellishing.
• 1:17:50
  SPEAKER_01: I think the word you're looking for is embezzling.
• 1:17:57
  SPEAKER_00: I tomato-tomata in this particular case.
• 1:18:04
  SPEAKER_01: I don't even know where my lawyer is right now.
• 1:18:10
  SPEAKER_01: What is a lawyer?
• 1:18:14
  SPEAKER_01: I guess Krakow wouldn't know what a lawyer is, huh?
• 1:18:19
  It is someone that helps with the paperwork of various
• 1:18:26
  different types of operations.
• 1:18:30
  SPEAKER_00: Also, they all sound like this.
• 1:18:32
  That's why I started doing an impression of when we started
• 1:18:35
  this conversation.
• 1:18:38
  SPEAKER_01: Ah, I thought you just said so.
• 1:18:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:18:42
  If you're not sure if it's a lawyer or not,
• 1:18:44
  just check if it sounds like this.
• 1:18:47
  SPEAKER_00: And that's a good one too.
• 1:18:52
  SPEAKER_01: So that's all that's for the lawyers.
• 1:18:54
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:18:56
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
• 1:18:56
  SPEAKER_01: I thought I was just an assistant, but now I was a lawyer.
• 1:19:00
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:19:03
  SPEAKER_01: Person that handles paperwork.
• 1:19:04
  SPEAKER_01: Lawyer.
• 1:19:05
  SPEAKER_01: Wait, you know, are you handle paperwork?
• 1:19:07
  SPEAKER_01: Are you a lawyer?
• 1:19:10
  SPEAKER_00: close.
• 1:19:11
  SPEAKER_00: No,
• 1:19:11
  SPEAKER_00: because he doesn't,
• 1:19:12
  SPEAKER_00: he doesn't sound like,
• 1:19:14
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 1:19:14
  SPEAKER_00: it doesn't have the accents,
• 1:19:16
  SPEAKER_00: the proper accent.
• 1:19:17
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:19:20
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:19:20
  SPEAKER_01: It's a good try.
• 1:19:21
  SPEAKER_01: Accent, accent and paperwork means lawyer.
• 1:19:25
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:19:27
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
• 1:19:33
  SPEAKER_00: You all have to stop letting me give this turtle information.
• 1:19:42
  SPEAKER_01: Listen, he's going to be a very well-rounded individual.
• 1:19:45
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm sorry, did they agree to like...
• 1:20:07
  Going along with Mr.
• 1:20:09
  Belfast to the warehouse place and then just kind of taking him
• 1:20:12
  after.
• 1:20:13
  SPEAKER_00: Is that where we have landed on that?
• 1:20:15
  SPEAKER_01: That's currently what is on the table.
• 1:20:18
  They haven't said anything yet because you guys were talking
• 1:20:22
  about what a lawyer was.
• 1:20:23
  Zara is just kind of staring at you all like,
• 1:20:29
  how the fuck did you make it this far?
• 1:20:31
  SPEAKER_02: It's a multi-person inner monologue.
• 1:20:37
  SPEAKER_01: Just like,
• 1:20:38
  SPEAKER_01: she's just looking at you all dumbfounded,
• 1:20:41
  SPEAKER_01: and then she just looks at you,
• 1:20:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yenor,
• 1:20:43
  SPEAKER_01: and she's just giving you this sorry-knowing look.
• 1:20:48
  SPEAKER_03: They're really not this bad.
• 1:20:51
  SPEAKER_03: I promise.
• 1:20:52
  SPEAKER_01: That's what I told you about my soldiers.
• 1:20:55
  SPEAKER_01: What do you... What do you mean, bad?
• 1:20:58
  SPEAKER_03: You guys are great.
• 1:21:02
  SPEAKER_03: I promise.
• 1:21:03
  SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna, like, pat his shoulder a little bit.
• 1:21:08
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know about everybody else,
• 1:21:10
  but every single time in this very short period of time that
• 1:21:13
  we've been mentally
• 1:21:14
  SPEAKER_00: linked,
• 1:21:15
  SPEAKER_00: every time we start on a tangent talking to each other,
• 1:21:18
  I just picture like Ron would be so much better at describing
• 1:21:22
  this to me because
• 1:21:23
  SPEAKER_00: you know all the fucking uwu words and I don't.
• 1:21:28
  When all the characters are just little stars with very
• 1:21:34
  unspecific heads.
• 1:21:36
  SPEAKER_00: And they're just back and forth looking at each other.
• 1:21:39
  SPEAKER_00: Like heads constantly whipping back and forth.
• 1:21:41
  Every time we do that,
• 1:21:42
  picturing our characters doing fucking that for like five
• 1:21:46
  minutes.
• 1:21:47
  SPEAKER_02: Outsiders just staring at us as we do that statically.
• 1:21:50
  SPEAKER_02: I'm sorry.
• 1:21:52
  SPEAKER_02: I needed you all to see that with me.
• 1:21:57
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we're talking telepathically.
• 1:21:59
  SPEAKER_01: Gotcha.
• 1:22:01
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 1:22:02
  SPEAKER_02: Visually, just outside.
• 1:22:03
  SPEAKER_02: Fucking weird.
• 1:22:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:22:10
  SPEAKER_01: Did I complete the fire?
• 1:22:12
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, the fire is lit.
• 1:22:16
  SPEAKER_01: Does anybody else have food besides rations?
• 1:22:21
  SPEAKER_01: All your food was on the ship, which is currently in an orb.
• 1:22:24
  SPEAKER_01: I know, and I only have rations, so I'm asking the other bunch.
• 1:22:27
  SPEAKER_00: Doesn't Sir Kelfast have the orb?
• 1:22:30
  SPEAKER_01: No, Joaquim has the orb, because the orb has a ship in it.
• 1:22:34
  SPEAKER_00: Are there, like, fish in the lake?
• 1:22:37
  SPEAKER_01: Puppy fish!
• 1:22:39
  SPEAKER_01: Did you tell your puppy to fish?
• 1:22:41
  SPEAKER_00: No, puppy.
• 1:22:42
  SPEAKER_00: You're right, my puppy could probably fish, too.
• 1:22:47
  SPEAKER_01: Your puppy's not trained.
• 1:22:50
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my god, that's your name.
• 1:22:52
  SPEAKER_00: Puppyfish.
• 1:22:55
  SPEAKER_01: You're gonna call it Puppyfish?
• 1:22:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, it's perfect.
• 1:22:59
  SPEAKER_01: So it's a Stardewfish now.
• 1:23:02
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know what that means.
• 1:23:04
  SPEAKER_01: Stardew has a fish called a Puppyfish.
• 1:23:07
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, Stardew Valley.
• 1:23:08
  SPEAKER_00: I don't play that.
• 1:23:10
  SPEAKER_00: That sounds adorable.
• 1:23:11
  SPEAKER_03: Correction, it's Stardew Valley expanded.
• 1:23:13
  SPEAKER_01: That's fair.
• 1:23:15
  SPEAKER_01: But its name is now Puppyfish.
• 1:23:17
  SPEAKER_01: Is this one word or two words?
• 1:23:19
  SPEAKER_01: One.
• 1:23:19
  SPEAKER_01: One.
• 1:23:20
  SPEAKER_01: One word?
• 1:23:20
  SPEAKER_01: Is the F in fish capitalized?
• 1:23:23
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 1:23:23
  SPEAKER_00: It's like a mermaid.
• 1:23:25
  SPEAKER_00: It's got puppy for the top half, fish for the bottom.
• 1:23:32
  SPEAKER_01: Puppy fish.
• 1:23:36
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, make an animal handling check.
• 1:23:39
  SPEAKER_01: I'm so good at those.
• 1:23:42
  SPEAKER_01: With an F or a PH?
• 1:23:44
  SPEAKER_00: With an F.
• 1:23:47
  SPEAKER_01: No, we're not doing cyber attacks.
• 1:23:50
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, no.
• 1:23:53
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to use an inspiration.
• 1:23:54
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know what you rolled.
• 1:23:55
  SPEAKER_01: It didn't come through.
• 1:23:57
  SPEAKER_00: I think it was an 8.
• 1:23:57
  SPEAKER_00: Let me look.
• 1:23:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, an 8.
• 1:24:00
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:24:02
  SPEAKER_00: There we go.
• 1:24:02
  SPEAKER_00: That's better.
• 1:24:04
  SPEAKER_00: 14.
• 1:24:11
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 1:24:12
  SPEAKER_01: Just roll a d20 for me.
• 1:24:24
  SPEAKER_00: Thirteen.
• 1:24:27
  SPEAKER_00: Two thirteens in a row.
• 1:24:33
  SPEAKER_01: It looks at you and dives into the water.
• 1:24:37
  SPEAKER_00: This puppy fish has been extraordinarily easy to train.
• 1:24:41
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't say it knew what it was doing.
• 1:24:44
  SPEAKER_01: I just said it went into the water.
• 1:24:46
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, even that.
• 1:24:48
  SPEAKER_00: How intuitive of my puppy fish.
• 1:24:54
  Also,
• 1:24:54
  she was just saying that out loud to Hakeem because he's the
• 1:24:56
  closest person.
• 1:25:17
  SPEAKER_01: Open it up a little bit more since you guys are like on the edge there,
• 1:25:21
  SPEAKER_01: you can kind of see a little bit more of the lake.
• 1:25:24
  SPEAKER_01: The inner lake.
• 1:25:34
  SPEAKER_01: Why is the fish blinking?
• 1:25:35
  SPEAKER_01: Why is the puppy fish blinking?
• 1:25:37
  SPEAKER_02: I just was wondering that myself.
• 1:25:43
  SPEAKER_02: Sorry, I was double clicking.
• 1:25:44
  SPEAKER_02: I wasn't sure.
• 1:25:45
  SPEAKER_02: The fish has 34 hit points.
• 1:25:48
  SPEAKER_01: Puppy fish.
• 1:25:49
  SPEAKER_00: Puppy fish.
• 1:25:51
  SPEAKER_01: Not just a fish.
• 1:25:56
  SPEAKER_00: Also, stop trying to calculate how to kill my dog.
• 1:25:59
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not the worst neighbor ever.
• 1:26:02
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not telling anybody.
• 1:26:07
  SPEAKER_02: I am clean, and that is all that matters.
• 1:26:10
  SPEAKER_01: Mostly.
• 1:26:12
  SPEAKER_01: Cleaner.
• 1:26:14
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 1:26:16
  SPEAKER_00: Pousin-in-law.
• 1:26:17
  SPEAKER_01: There's some level of muck in which you cannot remove.
• 1:26:26
  SPEAKER_01: specifically your clothes.
• 1:26:30
  SPEAKER_01: It's real hard to get your clothes completely clean.
• 1:26:32
  SPEAKER_01: But yeah, for the most part, you're pretty good.
• 1:26:41
  SPEAKER_02: Did Zara and her group agree to the terms?
• 1:26:50
  SPEAKER_01: Well...
• 1:26:54
  SPEAKER_01: First, Mr. Belfast was going on about his lawyer.
• 1:26:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:27:04
  SPEAKER_01: He's sitting here rambling about trying to remember his lawyer's name.
• 1:27:08
  SPEAKER_01: Ah, got it.
• 1:27:13
  SPEAKER_01: It was Mr. Ellen Atheno.
• 1:27:16
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, Mr. Ellen Atheno.
• 1:27:30
  SPEAKER_02: Joaquin looks confused again.
• 1:27:31
  SPEAKER_02: Why do we care about his legal representation?
• 1:27:45
  SPEAKER_00: I think you might think we might be afraid of lawyers,
• 1:27:49
  SPEAKER_00: which does not work if you don't have anything.
• 1:27:53
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, lawyers can be scary sons of bitches, but
• 1:28:03
  SPEAKER_00: I got you.
• 1:28:05
  SPEAKER_00: Most lawyers are not criminal lawyers,
• 1:28:09
  SPEAKER_00: so I don't have to worry about any of them,
• 1:28:11
  SPEAKER_00: but those,
• 1:28:12
  SPEAKER_00: when you don't have anything,
• 1:28:14
  SPEAKER_00: nobody can see it for what you don't have.
• 1:28:19
  You do like to mention that you didn't have anything,
• 1:28:25
  but...
• 1:28:27
  I still don't.
• 1:28:29
  SPEAKER_00: I get it, I get it.
• 1:28:30
  You have a whole company in your family's name that's worth
• 1:28:33
  losing over one lawsuit.
• 1:28:35
  SPEAKER_02: Hey, chill out, darkness child.
• 1:28:40
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, yes.
• 1:28:42
  SPEAKER_01: Zara speaks up.
• 1:28:46
  Look,
• 1:28:47
  if we all travel together,
• 1:28:49
  that's a really big group,
• 1:28:50
  really big target.
• 1:28:53
  SPEAKER_01: We'll...
• 1:28:54
  SPEAKER_01: parallel your movement to his storage area.
• 1:28:58
  SPEAKER_01: We know how to get there.
• 1:28:59
  SPEAKER_01: We know where it is.
• 1:28:59
  SPEAKER_01: We've been there many times.
• 1:29:02
  SPEAKER_00: Highly secure.
• 1:29:04
  We'll meet there,
• 1:29:08
  secure it if need be,
• 1:29:09
  determine what we need to do from there.
• 1:29:12
  SPEAKER_01: And then we'll probably be taking him with us to be
• 1:29:23
  explain this political disaster to a council tribunal in the
• 1:29:34
  city of Keldis.
• 1:29:38
  SPEAKER_03: What if we still need him, though?
• 1:29:41
  SPEAKER_02: What?
• 1:29:43
  SPEAKER_02: Why would we still need him?
• 1:29:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, I'm with Mr. Sue on that one.
• 1:29:51
  SPEAKER_01: Why would you still need...
• 1:29:54
  SPEAKER_01: This slimy son of a bitch.
• 1:29:56
  SPEAKER_02: Stop it.
• 1:29:57
  I'm looking at Ynor,
• 1:29:58
  like,
• 1:29:59
  big question mark above my head,
• 1:30:01
  uh,
• 1:30:01
  Minor Illusion style.
• 1:30:04
  SPEAKER_03: Ynor just gestures to how large she is.
• 1:30:12
  SPEAKER_02: So?
• 1:30:12
  SPEAKER_03: He's big!
• 1:30:18
  SPEAKER_00: You mean for protection?
• 1:30:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yes!
• 1:30:24
  SPEAKER_03: We need someone to absorb the bullets for us.
• 1:30:28
  SPEAKER_02: He's not joining us.
• 1:30:35
  SPEAKER_03: We'll see.
• 1:30:37
  SPEAKER_02: You know.
• 1:30:39
  SPEAKER_01: Listen.
• 1:30:41
  SPEAKER_02: Cowling.
• 1:30:42
  SPEAKER_02: Rawr, rawr, lady.
• 1:30:44
  SPEAKER_02: And now you want to get a meat shield?
• 1:30:48
  SPEAKER_01: Listen.
• 1:30:50
  SPEAKER_01: We need to bring him back before Council 2.
• 1:30:53
  recount what happened but if we can get in contact with some of
• 1:30:59
  our other forces
• 1:31:01
  from his storage facility we will find you a replacement bullet
• 1:31:08
  shield i feel like
• 1:31:12
  that's that's worth it one meat shield for the next however
• 1:31:16
  this replacement bullet
• 1:31:17
  SPEAKER_01: shield
• 1:31:19
  SPEAKER_01: will probably have to meet us in the city of Keldis,
• 1:31:21
  SPEAKER_01: which means you all will have to travel with us to the city of Keldis.
• 1:31:27
  SPEAKER_03: We didn't really have a plan for where to go after Belfast plays.
• 1:31:34
  SPEAKER_00: Technically... Go ahead, Wiki.
• 1:31:40
  SPEAKER_02: Weren't some vampires that we had to deal with?
• 1:31:46
  SPEAKER_01: So there are
• 1:31:47
  There were reports of a vampire-like individual residing on the
• 1:31:53
  northern part of
• 1:31:54
  SPEAKER_01: the Drelishian mountain range,
• 1:31:55
  which is the opposite side of the mountain range of where the
• 1:32:00
  city of Keldis is
• 1:32:01
  SPEAKER_01: located,
• 1:32:01
  SPEAKER_01: from where the city of Keldis is located.
• 1:32:06
  You were also told when you spoke with Lady Wren and her
• 1:32:10
  father,
• 1:32:11
  Eos,
• 1:32:12
  that they...
• 1:32:14
  Eos would be putting in a good word with his contacts in the
• 1:32:17
  city of Keldes,
• 1:32:19
  SPEAKER_01: specifically a General Malachi,
• 1:32:23
  SPEAKER_01: the Blood Rose Sisters,
• 1:32:25
  SPEAKER_01: or a Counselor Pentagon,
• 1:32:27
  SPEAKER_01: for you guys to get access to the city.
• 1:32:38
  SPEAKER_03: So Keldes should be a safe place for us for a little bit.
• 1:32:49
  SPEAKER_01: With this brief moment of reprieve,
• 1:32:51
  SPEAKER_01: though,
• 1:32:52
  while everyone goes back through their memory banks about
• 1:32:55
  exactly what it is that
• 1:32:56
  SPEAKER_01: you all are supposed to be doing,
• 1:32:58
  SPEAKER_01: we are going to take our break.
• 1:33:01
  Thank you all thus far for tuning in,
• 1:33:04
  and we will be back here momentarily.
• 1:33:05
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, hi.

  SPEAKER_01: All right, it's time to get back into the adventure.
• 1:33:45
  SPEAKER_01: And we are back.
• 1:33:48
  We left off with our group having conversations with a group
• 1:33:54
  they've previously had
• 1:33:56
  SPEAKER_01: been acquainted with.
• 1:34:01
  This group containing none other than Zara Yorn,
• 1:34:09
  Jackson Hammerson,
• 1:34:10
  and Draven Crescent Moon.
• 1:34:14
  SPEAKER_01: They were all hunting Mr.
• 1:34:16
  SPEAKER_01: Belfast,
• 1:34:16
  SPEAKER_01: but after some aggressive discussions,
• 1:34:22
  they have agreed to sit down and chat versus talking with
• 1:34:27
  bullets and swords.
• 1:34:33
  We're going to pick right back up where Krakka has created fire
• 1:34:38
  in this wet cave and
• 1:34:42
  everyone's working on washing themselves off in the fresh water
• 1:34:45
  that is here puppy
• 1:34:50
  fish was fishing maybe puppy fish was also maybe fishing yeah
• 1:34:57
  i'm gonna go like
• 1:34:58
  SPEAKER_01: collect some rocks to so i can have a spot to put the cooking pot on okay
• 1:35:23
  SPEAKER_01: Is anyone doing anything else in particular in this moment?
• 1:35:32
  SPEAKER_02: I would ask Zara if she can give any sort of,
• 1:35:38
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 1:35:38
  SPEAKER_02: maybe kind of,
• 1:35:39
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 1:35:39
  just talk to her one-on-one and just ask if she's got any kind
• 1:35:44
  of background info
• 1:35:45
  SPEAKER_02: on Belfast that I could,
• 1:35:47
  SPEAKER_02: that could be helpful.
• 1:35:52
  SPEAKER_01: It's hard to get one on one in this tiny cave.
• 1:35:55
  SPEAKER_01: You could ask her quietly.
• 1:36:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, maybe like over here real quick.
• 1:36:07
  SPEAKER_01: OK.
• 1:36:09
  SPEAKER_01: I'd say make a stealth check,
• 1:36:11
  SPEAKER_01: not so much for being sneaky,
• 1:36:13
  SPEAKER_01: but for keeping your conversation private.
• 1:36:26
  SPEAKER_01: Do you have advantage on stealth?
• 1:36:31
  SPEAKER_01: I do.
• 1:36:31
  SPEAKER_01: Still doing the thing where it's not sending numbers.
• 1:36:42
  SPEAKER_02: I got a 21.
• 1:36:49
  SPEAKER_01: With a 21, you are fairly confident that your conversation will be
• 1:37:00
  SPEAKER_01: private to the extent that it can be in small quarters.
• 1:37:09
  SPEAKER_01: Well, are you looking for dirt on him or what?
• 1:37:17
  SPEAKER_01: There you go.
• 1:37:21
  He might seem like a slimy salesman,
• 1:37:25
  but actually he's got his hands pretty clean.
• 1:37:35
  SPEAKER_01: Rocco, what are you doing?
• 1:37:37
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, sorry.
• 1:37:47
  SPEAKER_02: You guys want to take him in?
• 1:37:52
  SPEAKER_01: I mean... It seems like Investigator Grey Breeze seems...
• 1:38:00
  rather invested in his well-being but there is going to be a
• 1:38:05
  point in time in which
• 1:38:06
  we have to take him to answer for some of the things that
• 1:38:12
  happened an airship going
• 1:38:17
  down is no small event and all and i will support whatever you
• 1:38:24
  all need about that
• 1:38:25
  SPEAKER_02: but after he's uh made good on his word yeah
• 1:38:32
  um we gotta figure out how to get out there first we are in the
• 1:38:35
  middle of a swamp
• 1:38:36
  land he doesn't he not know how to get to his own uh supplier
• 1:38:45
  no he does he's we
• 1:38:47
  know how to get there too i'm talking about getting to keldis
• 1:38:53
  one thing at a time
• 1:38:54
  let's let's see what he's got for us before we plan that next
• 1:38:58
  leg of it yeah
• 1:39:01
  SPEAKER_01: I'm also not entirely sure, Kel, this is safe.
• 1:39:03
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, things are volatile all over right now.
• 1:39:10
  You think you think individual governments are the only things
• 1:39:13
  affected by corruption?
• 1:39:17
  SPEAKER_02: Certainly not.
• 1:39:18
  SPEAKER_02: Everyday people, it's everywhere.
• 1:39:22
  SPEAKER_02: Everything.
• 1:39:24
  SPEAKER_02: It's systems, too.
• 1:39:28
  SPEAKER_01: The only...
• 1:39:31
  SPEAKER_01: Our only saving grace is getting to.
• 1:39:40
  SPEAKER_01: One of the counselors themselves.
• 1:39:45
  SPEAKER_01: Not going through an assistant or messenger.
• 1:39:52
  SPEAKER_01: Someone like Lady Red.
• 1:39:58
  SPEAKER_01: Someone like her mother.
• 1:40:03
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, we've been in contact with her before.
• 1:40:08
  SPEAKER_01: You have not talked to Baroness Ace.
• 1:40:15
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, I'm sorry.
• 1:40:16
  SPEAKER_02: I'm thinking Baroness.
• 1:40:19
  SPEAKER_02: I thought we above table.
• 1:40:21
  SPEAKER_02: I thought we did do like a sending stone thing with Lady Ren.
• 1:40:26
  SPEAKER_00: That was her husband.
• 1:40:28
  SPEAKER_01: And Eos.
• 1:40:30
  You spoke to Lady Ren,
• 1:40:32
  and then Lady Ren handed the stone to Eos,
• 1:40:35
  who is the Baron.
• 1:40:38
  SPEAKER_01: Gotcha.
• 1:40:39
  SPEAKER_01: My mistake.
• 1:40:39
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
• 1:40:41
  But the counselors that Zahra is talking about are the
• 1:40:45
  counselors of the Keldesians,
• 1:40:48
  of Keldis.
• 1:40:49
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:40:51
  SPEAKER_01: So that'd be Malachi.
• 1:40:52
  SPEAKER_01: Higher ranking, then.
• 1:40:54
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, General Malachi.
• 1:40:57
  counselor pendragon the blood rose sisters uh those are four of
• 1:41:03
  the counselors
• 1:41:06
  actually three one of the blood first sisters i don't think is
• 1:41:08
  a counselor uh no
• 1:41:09
  one of they're both counselors that's four of the counselors of
• 1:41:13
  the uh seven ten
• 1:41:18
  SPEAKER_01: how many counselors are there
• 1:41:23
  SPEAKER_01: Ten.
• 1:41:24
  SPEAKER_01: Four of the ten counselors on the Caldecian Council.
• 1:41:31
  SPEAKER_01: Not even the high ranking ones.
• 1:41:42
  Sounds like we've got our work cut out for us,
• 1:41:44
  but regarding him,
• 1:41:47
  just nodding back to Belfast.
• 1:41:53
  SPEAKER_02: If you need to take him in, that's perfectly fine.
• 1:41:55
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think that we're all too tied to him.
• 1:41:59
  SPEAKER_02: It's really just about, again, this for that.
• 1:42:04
  SPEAKER_01: He owes us.
• 1:42:06
  I believe that,
• 1:42:09
  again,
• 1:42:09
  that investigator Graybreeze is a little invested in his
• 1:42:16
  well-being.
• 1:42:16
  SPEAKER_01: I think she just wants something to protect her.
• 1:42:23
  SPEAKER_02: It's less about him and more about what he could offer,
• 1:42:28
  SPEAKER_02: in which case if there was something else,
• 1:42:29
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sure we'd be all right.
• 1:42:31
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think it's about protection in this case.
• 1:42:37
  SPEAKER_01: I think she's just using that as an example.
• 1:42:41
  SPEAKER_01: I think there's more to it than that.
• 1:42:49
  SPEAKER_01: You can insight Zara if you want.
• 1:42:52
  mean i would just ask outright do you know anything i just get
• 1:42:57
  a sense about these
• 1:42:58
  things working with many individuals as long as i have and
• 1:43:05
  supervising even more uh
• 1:43:10
  SPEAKER_01: you kind of get a sense for these things also mr belfast might
• 1:43:19
  SPEAKER_01: Come off as an asshole, but deep down he is not.
• 1:43:25
  SPEAKER_01: He did leave us for dead, but.
• 1:43:29
  SPEAKER_01: He got shot in the shoulder, so I'd say we're even there.
• 1:43:37
  SPEAKER_02: And he will shrug and nod and.
• 1:43:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, head back.
• 1:43:49
  SPEAKER_02: But yeah, that's all I do.
• 1:43:53
  Lala,
• 1:43:54
  puppy fish comes up from swimming and spits out I've eaten eel
• 1:44:04
  on the ground.
• 1:44:08
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my god.
• 1:44:10
  SPEAKER_02: My puppy is genius.
• 1:44:12
  SPEAKER_02: Good puppy fish.
• 1:44:13
  SPEAKER_01: Good puppy fish.
• 1:44:17
  SPEAKER_01: Pops up a fishbowl.
• 1:44:22
  SPEAKER_00: picks him up and kind of holds him above her head for everybody.
• 1:44:25
  SPEAKER_00: He's like, do you see what a genius he is?
• 1:44:32
  SPEAKER_00: Not one, not one, but two fish in one trip.
• 1:44:41
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, the second is just partially digested parts of the first.
• 1:44:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:44:53
  SPEAKER_01: It's just wagging its tail.
• 1:44:58
  SPEAKER_00: He's a good puppy fish, and he's so smart.
• 1:45:02
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't even have to train him.
• 1:45:05
  SPEAKER_01: Actually, his tail's dragging on the ground a little bit.
• 1:45:11
  She will pick up the half of the eel that is not partially
• 1:45:14
  digested and hand it to Krakka.
• 1:45:17
  SPEAKER_01: Krakka, you are handed half an eel.
• 1:45:25
  SPEAKER_01: It'll be a good additive, but... He'll get more.
• 1:45:44
  SPEAKER_01: He's a genius.
• 1:45:46
  SPEAKER_01: Let me go see if I can help him out.
• 1:45:52
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to go for a swim and see what I can find, I guess.
• 1:45:55
  SPEAKER_01: I know there's living things in the water.
• 1:46:01
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:46:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yells to Yenor also and be like, there's fish.
• 1:46:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yenor just kind of shrugs.
• 1:46:30
  SPEAKER_00: She will try to tell Poppy to fish, but she doesn't listen to her.
• 1:46:33
  SPEAKER_01: Poppy?
• 1:46:37
  SPEAKER_00: Poppy?
• 1:46:38
  SPEAKER_00: Fish.
• 1:46:40
  SPEAKER_00: She gestures.
• 1:46:40
  SPEAKER_01: Poppy's still carrying Thesson and Iris.
• 1:46:49
  SPEAKER_01: I was told to stay on the bird.
• 1:46:52
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I think you're good now.
• 1:46:56
  SPEAKER_00: We're chillin'.
• 1:46:59
  SPEAKER_00: You're gonna get, like, a rash or something.
• 1:47:01
  SPEAKER_00: That's what's happened to babies.
• 1:47:03
  SPEAKER_00: Get down.
• 1:47:03
  SPEAKER_00: Go.
• 1:47:05
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:47:07
  SPEAKER_01: She gets down off.
• 1:47:11
  SPEAKER_00: Good job.
• 1:47:12
  Pat-pat.
• 1:47:17
  SPEAKER_01: Destin flaps over to Unora's shoulder again.
• 1:47:24
  SPEAKER_01: Poppy, Krakka, and Puppyfish all go swimming.
• 1:47:32
  SPEAKER_02: I'm such a good animal trainer.
• 1:47:36
  Well,
• 1:47:36
  Poppy just saw puppy fish go fishing and pull up fish and got
• 1:47:41
  jealous.
• 1:47:41
  So she was probably going to go fishing whether or not someone
• 1:47:45
  told her to.
• 1:47:46
  SPEAKER_02: Don't try to dull my sparkle demon.
• 1:47:49
  And she may or may not have taken the child with her if the
• 1:47:52
  child didn't get off her back.
• 1:47:56
  SPEAKER_01: It's only so much self-control that Poppy has.
• 1:48:24
  Is there anything else that anyone else is doing while there is
• 1:48:28
  a trio fishing for dinner?
• 1:48:42
  SPEAKER_00: Lala will keep the fire going while Crockett is away.
• 1:48:45
  SPEAKER_00: You know.
• 1:48:48
  SPEAKER_00: Do what?
• 1:48:53
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to forge for some berries.
• 1:48:56
  SPEAKER_01: You'd have to leave.
• 1:48:57
  SPEAKER_01: Oh.
• 1:49:00
  SPEAKER_01: There's no berries in here.
• 1:49:01
  SPEAKER_01: This is a cave.
• 1:49:03
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, never mind.
• 1:49:06
  SPEAKER_02: Bugs?
• 1:49:07
  SPEAKER_01: Krakah had, like, some bugs.
• 1:49:10
  SPEAKER_01: You could probably forge for cave bugs.
• 1:49:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm going to forge for some cave bugs.
• 1:49:17
  SPEAKER_01: Make a nature check to just see how well you forge for cave bugs.
• 1:49:22
  SPEAKER_01: What about some cave fungi?
• 1:49:28
  SPEAKER_01: It may be some cave fungi.
• 1:49:32
  SPEAKER_01: That'd be, uh, same thing.
• 1:49:33
  SPEAKER_01: Nature check.
• 1:49:34
  SPEAKER_01: We'll see what you come up with.
• 1:49:38
  SPEAKER_02: Twelve.
• 1:49:38
  SPEAKER_01: A twelve.
• 1:49:44
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you're definitely gonna be foraging for a while.
• 1:49:46
  SPEAKER_01: After that.
• 1:50:15
  SPEAKER_03: Can I try to insight check everything they've told us so far?
• 1:50:20
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 1:50:31
  SPEAKER_03: I'll keep the 17.
• 1:50:38
  SPEAKER_01: Zara was not lying about anything that happened.
• 1:50:44
  SPEAKER_01: Here's telling the truth.
• 1:50:46
  SPEAKER_03: And what about Belfast reaction to everything?
• 1:50:53
  SPEAKER_01: His new story.
• 1:51:00
  SPEAKER_01: Chose that he is not like.
• 1:51:04
  SPEAKER_00: But.
• 1:51:07
  SPEAKER_01: However.
• 1:51:09
  SPEAKER_01: There is some.
• 1:51:12
  SPEAKER_01: Discomfort when he.
• 1:51:15
  tries remembering his lawyer's name discomfort like he's lying
• 1:51:25
  no or like he's
• 1:51:27
  SPEAKER_01: upset about it also no discomfort like there's more to it
• 1:52:14
  while the trio is fishing and deal is running around this cave
• 1:52:19
  looking for bugs and
• 1:52:21
  fungi uh the child kind of slumps over standing up for a second
• 1:52:34
  iris just kind of
• 1:52:43
  SPEAKER_03: Does she get back up?
• 1:52:48
  SPEAKER_01: She does.
• 1:52:51
  SPEAKER_01: But her eyes are glowing.
• 1:52:58
  SPEAKER_01: Purple.
• 1:53:01
  SPEAKER_03: I will walk over and try to check on her.
• 1:53:14
  SPEAKER_01: A voice that is not hers speaks through her.
• 1:53:17
  SPEAKER_01: This like.
• 1:53:26
  SPEAKER_01: Warbled multidimensional sounding echoey voice.
• 1:53:30
  SPEAKER_01: Hmm.
• 1:53:34
  SPEAKER_01: So this is where you've been.
• 1:53:37
  SPEAKER_01: I've been looking.
• 1:53:42
  SPEAKER_01: It seems my children are being drawn to each other.
• 1:53:47
  SPEAKER_01: I guess I will see you soon.
• 1:53:57
  SPEAKER_01: And the voice leaves.
• 1:54:00
  SPEAKER_03: Do I recognize the voice?
• 1:54:02
  SPEAKER_01: Make a history check. 22.
• 1:54:13
  It is the same voice as the hooded individual that was in your
• 1:54:20
  very vivid,
• 1:54:21
  very strange dream.
• 1:54:37
  Lala,
• 1:54:37
  Wakeem and Deedle,
• 1:54:38
  you would all also recognize the voice as that same voice.
• 1:54:46
  SPEAKER_01: And then she just kind of collapses on the ground.
• 1:54:52
  SPEAKER_00: Oh God, we can hear it.
• 1:54:57
  SPEAKER_03: Can I tell if she's injured in any way?
• 1:55:01
  SPEAKER_01: Look at her.
• 1:55:02
  SPEAKER_01: She looks fine.
• 1:55:02
  SPEAKER_01: She just looks like she's sleeping.
• 1:55:04
  SPEAKER_03: OK.
• 1:55:14
  SPEAKER_01: Zara looks at you so.
• 1:55:18
  SPEAKER_01: What was that about?
• 1:55:25
  SPEAKER_03: Just some creepy mass hysteria dream we all had a couple weeks ago.
• 1:55:31
  SPEAKER_01: The dream actually happened while you were at the port.
• 1:55:36
  SPEAKER_01: Zara's port.
• 1:55:38
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:55:39
  SPEAKER_03: So a couple weeks ago.
• 1:55:41
  SPEAKER_01: Hmm.
• 1:55:45
  SPEAKER_01: But a voice just spoke through a child.
• 1:55:52
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I wasn't sure that that was a real dream.
• 1:55:56
  SPEAKER_03: I think it might be.
• 1:55:59
  SPEAKER_03: I don't like it.
• 1:56:06
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know what to do with the child.
• 1:56:08
  SPEAKER_01: We need to find Druid.
• 1:56:13
  SPEAKER_00: Why?
• 1:56:16
  SPEAKER_01: Because I don't trust cleric healers.
• 1:56:24
  SPEAKER_03: I don't I don't know if I appreciate that.
• 1:56:26
  SPEAKER_01: You're not a cleric healer.
• 1:56:27
  SPEAKER_03: Paladins and clerics are pretty close.
• 1:56:35
  SPEAKER_01: You're only a paladin because of your wife.
• 1:56:41
  SPEAKER_01: Not because of a religious affiliation.
• 1:56:51
  SPEAKER_03: I take slight offense.
• 1:57:06
  SPEAKER_01: About this time, Krakka and Puppyfish all appear back on the shore.
• 1:57:18
  SPEAKER_01: On your shoes, Lala, the puppy drops a few fish.
• 1:57:27
  SPEAKER_01: The puppy, as always, just a pile.
• 1:57:31
  SPEAKER_01: A pile of fish.
• 1:57:33
  SPEAKER_00: Many, many scritches and praise upon praise.
• 1:57:36
  SPEAKER_01: Backs up a fish ball while you're petting him.
• 1:57:41
  SPEAKER_00: Good boy.
• 1:57:46
  SPEAKER_01: Krakka, you...
• 1:57:48
  SPEAKER_01: Obviously,
• 1:57:50
  having a humanoid brain versus an animal brain have effectively
• 1:57:58
  caught more fish
• 1:58:01
  SPEAKER_01: than poppy.
• 1:58:02
  SPEAKER_01: So you now have a decent amount of various different types of cave fish.
• 1:58:11
  I was so hyped for this until you called them cave fish and
• 1:58:15
  brought back all of the
• 1:58:16
  SPEAKER_00: horror memories I have of what cave fish look like.
• 1:58:27
  SPEAKER_01: You're in a cave.
• 1:58:28
  SPEAKER_01: This is a cave lake.
• 1:58:29
  SPEAKER_01: They would be cave fish.
• 1:58:31
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, but why did you have to do me like that?
• 1:58:35
  SPEAKER_00: You didn't have to say it.
• 1:58:38
  SPEAKER_01: Cave lake fish?
• 1:58:39
  SPEAKER_01: Is that better?
• 1:58:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:58:42
  SPEAKER_00: Significantly.
• 1:58:43
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
• 1:58:43
  SPEAKER_00: We just call them charbroiled.
• 1:58:50
  SPEAKER_01: About this time,
• 1:58:51
  SPEAKER_01: Deedle,
• 1:58:53
  SPEAKER_01: you have found six bugs and two mushrooms,
• 1:58:59
  SPEAKER_01: but you're not sure if the mushrooms are poisonous.
• 1:59:05
  SPEAKER_02: I'll keep them separate then.
• 1:59:16
  SPEAKER_01: So we're having fish and bugs for dinner.
• 1:59:23
  SPEAKER_02: It's a side dish.
• 1:59:24
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, do you have anything else we can add in?
• 1:59:30
  SPEAKER_01: Like I asked before, I only have rations.
• 1:59:32
  SPEAKER_01: Nobody said anything.
• 1:59:33
  SPEAKER_00: So that's all I got is rations.
• 1:59:37
  SPEAKER_01: We don't even have rations.
• 1:59:39
  SPEAKER_01: We've been honestly not eating much.
• 1:59:44
  SPEAKER_01: Well,
• 1:59:47
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to mix a couple of rations in for something,
• 1:59:53
  SPEAKER_01: some other flavor besides just fish and bugs,
• 1:59:57
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 1:59:58
  SPEAKER_02: but let's see what I can come up with.
• 2:00:01
  SPEAKER_03: I'll hand you some of my rations.
• 2:00:05
  SPEAKER_02: I think I have like 10 rations.
• 2:00:08
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
• 2:00:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you should all start with 10 rations.
• 2:00:28
  SPEAKER_01: Crocky, you have some rations, some fish, a few bugs.
• 2:00:37
  SPEAKER_00: Um...
• 2:00:57
  All right,
• 2:00:58
  so my messing kit splits into a cooking pot and a bowl or
• 2:01:04
  something,
• 2:01:04
  correct?
• 2:01:06
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:01:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:01:08
  So I'm going to start out and I'm going to use the bottom side
• 2:01:18
  of the cooking pot
• 2:01:19
  SPEAKER_01: and just use it as a flat surface to cook on.
• 2:01:21
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to fry some fish and some bugs.
• 2:01:27
  SPEAKER_01: Fried fish and fried bugs.
• 2:01:29
  SPEAKER_01: And as they're cooling,
• 2:01:31
  I'll flip it over and grab and just make some kind of slosh
• 2:01:39
  with the rations and
• 2:01:41
  SPEAKER_01: fish and bugs.
• 2:01:44
  SPEAKER_01: Just some kind of side dish.
• 2:01:47
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 2:01:51
  SPEAKER_01: You're pretty adept at cooking...
• 2:01:54
  SPEAKER_01: So I'd say that's relatively easy for you to pull off.
• 2:02:15
  SPEAKER_01: Is anyone going to be doing anything while Krakka is cooking?
• 2:02:26
  SPEAKER_01: If not,
• 2:02:26
  SPEAKER_01: Crockett,
• 2:02:27
  it doesn't take you very long to get everything cooked up and
• 2:02:31
  get food ready for
• 2:02:33
  SPEAKER_01: everybody.
• 2:02:34
  I'm sure I got to cook a few times because I'm sure this little
• 2:02:39
  pot can't cook up
• 2:02:40
  SPEAKER_01: enough for everybody.
• 2:02:40
  SPEAKER_01: There's a lot of heads here.
• 2:02:42
  SPEAKER_01: No, it takes a little bit, but it's not too difficult.
• 2:02:48
  SPEAKER_01: You're able to get things cooked up.
• 2:03:04
  SPEAKER_01: Thanks, Caraca.
• 2:03:06
  SPEAKER_01: You're welcome.
• 2:03:07
  I just wish I had more stuff to actually eat with so we didn't
• 2:03:14
  have to all eat out
• 2:03:17
  SPEAKER_01: this bowl and this pot together.
• 2:03:20
  SPEAKER_01: But bon appetit.
• 2:03:23
  SPEAKER_01: We'll make do.
• 2:03:29
  SPEAKER_01: It isn't the tastiest thing, but it is sustenance.
• 2:03:38
  SPEAKER_01: It also tastes better than rations.
• 2:03:41
  SPEAKER_00: I do love sustenance.
• 2:03:56
  SPEAKER_00: You know,
• 2:03:57
  SPEAKER_00: at the orphanage,
• 2:03:59
  SPEAKER_00: when we were in like first grade,
• 2:04:00
  SPEAKER_00: they would ask us what we wanted to be.
• 2:04:04
  SPEAKER_00: And most of us said not starving.
• 2:04:09
  SPEAKER_00: Living the dream.
• 2:04:10
  SPEAKER_01: That seems like a very low bar.
• 2:04:18
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, the shadow child likes to tug at the heartstrings.
• 2:04:26
  SPEAKER_00: You have heartstrings?
• 2:04:31
  SPEAKER_01: Not where you're concerned, demon.
• 2:04:36
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to walk over to Jackson and tell him I'll guard the entrance.
• 2:04:47
  SPEAKER_01: Go eat something, man.
• 2:04:49
  SPEAKER_01: You need it.
• 2:04:51
  SPEAKER_01: You're pretty beat up.
• 2:04:54
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah?
• 2:04:56
  SPEAKER_01: How do you call this for beat up?
• 2:04:57
  SPEAKER_01: And he whoops out a pistol.
• 2:05:02
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't say you were dead.
• 2:05:05
  SPEAKER_01: Just said you got beat up a little bit.
• 2:05:12
  I know you can still hold your own,
• 2:05:13
  but Zara said just haven't eaten in a while,
• 2:05:17
  so go eat.
• 2:05:19
  SPEAKER_01: Zara, hey, get over here.
• 2:05:21
  SPEAKER_01: Let them watch the door.
• 2:05:22
  SPEAKER_01: They got it.
• 2:05:25
  SPEAKER_01: So they both walk over here.
• 2:05:27
  SPEAKER_01: Krakka, you can go over to the...
• 2:05:31
  SPEAKER_01: entryway here.
• 2:05:33
  The big damaged construct just turns its head and is staring at
• 2:05:36
  you though.
• 2:05:41
  SPEAKER_01: I just like stare straight up because I forget how tall is Rashim.
• 2:05:48
  SPEAKER_01: Like 10 foot.
• 2:05:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:05:51
  SPEAKER_01: At least.
• 2:05:53
  SPEAKER_01: Kind of like little kid waving up to the big giant.
• 2:05:57
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:05:59
  SPEAKER_01: Hi.
• 2:06:02
  SPEAKER_01: You see,
• 2:06:02
  SPEAKER_01: it looks at you and it tries to pick its arm up to wave,
• 2:06:06
  SPEAKER_01: but it's like janky,
• 2:06:07
  SPEAKER_01: like a lagging screen almost as it waves.
• 2:06:11
  SPEAKER_01: And some arcane sparks are flickering off the damaged parts of its body.
• 2:06:20
  SPEAKER_01: Oh.
• 2:06:23
  SPEAKER_00: Don't hurt yourself, big guy.
• 2:06:24
  SPEAKER_00: It's okay.
• 2:06:29
  SPEAKER_01: It just kind of stares at you again.
• 2:06:33
  SPEAKER_00: My name's Kraka, by the way.
• 2:06:37
  SPEAKER_01: It gives a slight nod.
• 2:06:50
  SPEAKER_01: It's nice to meet you.
• 2:06:51
  SPEAKER_01: I just kind of sit down.
• 2:06:59
  SPEAKER_01: Not even, well, like sit down, but like looking out the entrance.
• 2:07:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:07:29
  While everybody is eating,
• 2:07:30
  is there anything else that anyone wants to do?
• 2:07:42
  SPEAKER_00: What time are we approximately now?
• 2:07:47
  SPEAKER_01: Hard to tell low light in the swamp and now you're in a cave.
• 2:07:51
  SPEAKER_01: But based on time traveled.
• 2:07:55
  SPEAKER_01: You're probably looking at.
• 2:08:00
  SPEAKER_01: Uh... Like... Five or six o'clock?
• 2:08:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 2:08:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:08:11
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 2:08:14
  SPEAKER_00: So this is probably quote-unquote dinner.
• 2:08:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 2:08:19
  SPEAKER_00: That's all.
• 2:08:21
  SPEAKER_01: Also, from the time that you cast your telepathic communication...
• 2:08:29
  SPEAKER_01: You probably have maybe an hour and a half left on it.
• 2:08:53
  If there is nothing else,
• 2:08:54
  we're going to go to dividing the watches for the night.
• 2:08:59
  SPEAKER_01: So who is going to take on?
• 2:09:03
  SPEAKER_01: First watch.
• 2:09:09
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, I guess I'll take on first March.
• 2:09:11
  SPEAKER_00: I'll do second.
• 2:09:13
  SPEAKER_00: I'll do third.
• 2:09:16
  Oh,

• 2:09:19
  uh,
• 2:09:19
  your Nora would take the let back too.
• 2:09:23
  SPEAKER_01: Cuz you know, or only needs half a night's rest.
• 2:09:28
  SPEAKER_01: She can have a full night's rest for once.
• 2:09:30
  SPEAKER_01: We'll take card duty.
• 2:09:33
  SPEAKER_01: Literally, her body doesn't.
• 2:09:34
  SPEAKER_01: She'll just be awake with you for those four hours.
• 2:09:41
  If you and Deedle want to take the back half of the rest,
• 2:09:47
  she will just still be awake anyway.
• 2:09:50
  SPEAKER_00: She can go spend time with Poppy.
• 2:09:53
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 2:09:56
  If you guys decide to divide the rest up like that,
• 2:09:59
  I will have,
• 2:10:01
  we'll go into rest area.
• 2:10:03
  SPEAKER_01: There's not really much privacy in this area per se,
• 2:10:08
  SPEAKER_01: but like Jackson comes back over here to where Rashim is.
• 2:10:15
  SPEAKER_01: Draven kind of posts up next to Jackson.
• 2:10:21
  SPEAKER_01: Mr. Belfast kind of goes off in this corner over here.
• 2:10:27
  SPEAKER_01: Zara's kind of hanging out towards the middle.
• 2:10:28
  And then the rest of you can go in wherever open spaces you
• 2:10:34
  would like to go.
• 2:10:35
  SPEAKER_01: For resting.
• 2:10:56
  SPEAKER_02: This pile of rocks in the middle, is it like a rock?
• 2:11:00
  SPEAKER_01: Is it raised, or is it just textured?
• 2:11:03
  SPEAKER_01: That's where the fire was.
• 2:11:06
  SPEAKER_01: Huh?
• 2:11:06
  SPEAKER_01: That's where the fire was.
• 2:11:08
  SPEAKER_01: That's where the fire was, okay.
• 2:11:09
  SPEAKER_01: In this area, that's where Franco was cooking, yeah.
• 2:11:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, okay, not there.
• 2:11:16
  SPEAKER_02: I guess, yeah, just hunker down right here.
• 2:11:20
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 2:11:24
  SPEAKER_01: Go over here.
• 2:11:33
  SPEAKER_01: So first watch is Joaquim.
• 2:11:35
  SPEAKER_01: Joaquim, make a perception check for your watch.
• 2:11:43
  SPEAKER_01: So.
• 2:11:49
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to inspiration that that's a little.
• 2:11:54
  SPEAKER_01: Don't know what it was.
• 2:11:56
  SPEAKER_01: It's being weird at 12 that.
• 2:11:59
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, did that come through?
• 2:12:06
  SPEAKER_01: It hasn't been.
• 2:12:07
  SPEAKER_01: I showed that you rolled a check, but doesn't show you what the value is.
• 2:12:11
  SPEAKER_01: Gotcha.
• 2:12:15
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, my God.
• 2:12:17
  SPEAKER_02: One more inspiration.
• 2:12:22
  SPEAKER_02: And perception.
• 2:12:27
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, my fucking God.
• 2:12:28
  SPEAKER_02: Come on.
• 2:12:37
  SPEAKER_02: The bullshit.
• 2:12:46
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I can't really do anything.
• 2:12:51
  SPEAKER_02: It's a fucking 13.
• 2:12:52
  SPEAKER_02: It's a 13.
• 2:12:55
  SPEAKER_02: Mm hmm.
• 2:12:59
  SPEAKER_01: Is that with your six percent?
• 2:13:01
  SPEAKER_01: OK.
• 2:13:03
  SPEAKER_01: So a 13.
• 2:13:03
  SPEAKER_01: OK.
• 2:13:05
  SPEAKER_01: You keep an eye out.
• 2:13:07
  You hear the various wet cave noises and the distant nature
• 2:13:16
  noises from outside.
• 2:13:21
  SPEAKER_01: Nothing seems to alert or alarm you.
• 2:13:33
  SPEAKER_01: And your wrist is rather uneventful.
• 2:13:35
  SPEAKER_01: Or your watch is rather uneventful.
• 2:13:42
  And then at the end of your watch,
• 2:13:43
  you would have to go and wake up Lala for her watch.
• 2:13:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 2:13:49
  SPEAKER_02: So I'll go tap her real quick.
• 2:13:52
  SPEAKER_02: Hey.
• 2:13:54
  SPEAKER_02: Your turn.
• 2:13:58
  SPEAKER_00: I'll guard you with my life.
• 2:14:06
  SPEAKER_02: Joaquin knocks right back out.
• 2:14:08
  SPEAKER_02: But minor illusions of thumbs up before he goes to bed.
• 2:14:15
  SPEAKER_01: Lala, you make a perception check for your watch.
• 2:14:20
  SPEAKER_01: And then you'll have to tell me what it is.
• 2:14:24
  SPEAKER_00: Any day now it should come through.
• 2:14:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yikes.
• 2:14:43
  SPEAKER_00: Five plus five is ten.
• 2:14:44
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to inspiration.
• 2:14:48
  SPEAKER_01: Go ahead.
• 2:14:52
  SPEAKER_01: You guys are not rolling well tonight.
• 2:14:56
  SPEAKER_02: That's just worse.
• 2:14:58
  SPEAKER_02: I'll do one more.
• 2:14:59
  SPEAKER_02: Go ahead.
• 2:15:11
  SPEAKER_00: Stop sucking, please.
• 2:15:13
  SPEAKER_00: And it's another four.
• 2:15:15
  SPEAKER_00: Fuck.
• 2:15:15
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 2:15:20
  SPEAKER_01: Jesus.
• 2:15:21
  SPEAKER_00: A five, a four, and a four.
• 2:15:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you... You're in a cave.
• 2:15:33
  SPEAKER_01: And it's wet.
• 2:15:36
  SPEAKER_01: But you're clean.
• 2:15:38
  you'd think this would be like my jam my place i'm at one with
• 2:15:43
  the cave you're so
• 2:15:46
  much at one with the cave that uh it is impeding your ability
• 2:15:50
  to see outside of the
• 2:15:51
  SPEAKER_01: cave that's fair but you don't notice anything strange with a nine
• 2:16:15
  SPEAKER_01: And the end of your rest,
• 2:16:16
  SPEAKER_01: or the end of your watch comes,
• 2:16:18
  SPEAKER_01: and you go wake up Krakka for his watch.
• 2:16:29
  SPEAKER_00: Knock, knock, knock.
• 2:16:32
  SPEAKER_01: Got a shell.
• 2:16:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 2:16:37
  SPEAKER_02: Hmm?
• 2:16:38
  SPEAKER_02: Huh?
• 2:16:40
  SPEAKER_02: Is that time already?
• 2:16:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 2:16:44
  SPEAKER_00: Nothing to report.
• 2:16:46
  SPEAKER_00: Hopefully it's an easy shift.
• 2:16:49
  SPEAKER_02: Alright.
• 2:16:52
  SPEAKER_02: Have a good night.
• 2:16:55
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 2:16:56
  Lala is going to as stealthily as possible wedge herself
• 2:17:00
  between Joachim and the wall.
• 2:17:08
  SPEAKER_01: Make a stealth check.
• 2:17:18
  SPEAKER_00: The only thing I'm better at than lying.
• 2:17:21
  SPEAKER_00: That's a natural 20 plus 12.
• 2:17:23
  SPEAKER_01: Everyone gets an inspiration back.
• 2:17:26
  Joaquim,
• 2:17:28
  as you're sleeping,
• 2:17:29
  you just feel unexplicably warmer,
• 2:17:32
  but you don't question it.
• 2:17:41
  SPEAKER_02: Unexplicably warmer?
• 2:17:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:17:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and he just kind of smiles.
• 2:17:53
  SPEAKER_01: Go ahead and roll a perception check for your watch.
• 2:17:57
  SPEAKER_01: And at this point, you know, would be a waking up.
• 2:18:01
  SPEAKER_00: Do better than we did.
• 2:18:03
  SPEAKER_00: 18.
• 2:18:06
  SPEAKER_01: 18.
• 2:18:06
  SPEAKER_01: Uh.
• 2:18:14
  The morning light isn't quite coming through the entrance or
• 2:18:17
  what little morning
• 2:18:18
  SPEAKER_01: light would break through the brush.
• 2:18:22
  SPEAKER_01: You do hear all the nature sounds of bugs and various critters.
• 2:18:30
  There is something swimming about in this lake that you notice
• 2:18:39
  it comes up close to
• 2:18:41
  SPEAKER_01: the surface like a shadow every so often and then goes back down.
• 2:18:47
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't see nothing like that when I was swimming in there before.
• 2:18:52
  SPEAKER_01: Nope.
• 2:18:54
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna let you know that I. Think I seen.
• 2:19:19
  SPEAKER_02: Something poking his head out of the water.
• 2:19:25
  SPEAKER_03: I will go check it out.
• 2:19:27
  SPEAKER_01: You can make a perception check for the water.
• 2:19:30
  SPEAKER_01: 19.
• 2:19:41
  There's this odd large shadow just kind of swimming around near
• 2:19:44
  the surface of the
• 2:19:45
  water and then it kind of disappears again and then it comes up
• 2:19:48
  in the shadow that
• 2:19:49
  SPEAKER_01: disappeared.
• 2:19:55
  SPEAKER_03: Do I like recognize the shape at all?
• 2:20:00
  SPEAKER_01: It's very amorphous.
• 2:20:03
  SPEAKER_01: In the low light of this cave.
• 2:20:07
  SPEAKER_01: And the distortion of the water.
• 2:20:19
  SPEAKER_03: Can I cast light on a rock and throw it over the water?
• 2:20:26
  SPEAKER_03: To try to illuminate.
• 2:20:29
  SPEAKER_02: Well, would it still illuminate even though it's in the water?
• 2:20:33
  SPEAKER_03: I want to try to illuminate it as it's over.
• 2:20:38
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I know, I know.
• 2:20:38
  I'm just wondering when it hits the water will still illuminate
• 2:20:41
  when it goes down.
• 2:20:42
  SPEAKER_03: That's a fair point.
• 2:20:44
  SPEAKER_01: How long does light last?
• 2:20:49
  SPEAKER_01: One hour?
• 2:20:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:20:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, the object will stay illuminated.
• 2:20:56
  So it sheds bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for
• 2:21:01
  an additional 20 feet.
• 2:21:02
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 2:21:03
  SPEAKER_01: It's like a torch.
• 2:21:06
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 2:21:09
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, you throw a rock, shatters, fill this amorphous blob.
• 2:21:17
  You can't quite tell because it's moving around and the wanking
• 2:21:19
  waves and the waves
• 2:21:20
  SPEAKER_01: are rippling so it's distorted.
• 2:21:23
  SPEAKER_01: Then your rock hits the water and the thing swims away from the surface.
• 2:21:33
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, I scared it?
• 2:21:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:21:35
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 2:21:36
  SPEAKER_01: It's straight down.
• 2:21:37
  SPEAKER_01: It's gone now.
• 2:21:38
  SPEAKER_03: Well, it's not a problem anymore.
• 2:21:50
  Otherwise,
• 2:21:51
  Krakka,
• 2:21:52
  you don't really notice anything else during your watch.
• 2:21:55
  SPEAKER_01: I'll go with Deedle.
• 2:22:04
  SPEAKER_01: Go ahead.
• 2:22:05
  SPEAKER_01: How are you waking her?
• 2:22:06
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to.
• 2:22:26
  SPEAKER_02: I don't even know.
• 2:22:30
  SPEAKER_02: Just shake her.
• 2:22:34
  SPEAKER_02: She shook me once to wake me up, so I'm gonna shake her.
• 2:22:40
  What?
• 2:22:41
  SPEAKER_00: What?
• 2:22:45
  SPEAKER_02: It's time to do the thing.
• 2:22:51
  SPEAKER_02: Watch the door.
• 2:22:53
  SPEAKER_02: There was something swimming in the water, by the way, too.
• 2:23:02
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I was swimming in it, but I didn't see nothing.
• 2:23:05
  SPEAKER_01: But there was something definitely there.
• 2:23:07
  SPEAKER_01: I think Inor scared it.
• 2:23:09
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know if you want to check with her.
• 2:23:10
  SPEAKER_03: Walk with her now.
• 2:23:19
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, you walk over to Yenor.
• 2:23:21
  SPEAKER_01: Well, she's almost right next to you.
• 2:23:28
  SPEAKER_01: You're getting a little crackly.
• 2:23:31
  SPEAKER_03: Did you see it?
• 2:23:36
  SPEAKER_00: Just a blob.
• 2:23:37
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, we'll keep an eye out.
• 2:23:47
  SPEAKER_01: Adidle, go ahead and make a perception check.
• 2:24:07
  SPEAKER_01: 25.
• 2:24:14
  SPEAKER_01: You hear.
• 2:24:19
  SPEAKER_01: Like rustling outside towards the entrance of the cave.
• 2:24:25
  SPEAKER_01: And then you hear like a growl and then you.
• 2:24:30
  SPEAKER_01: Yelp of some kind.
• 2:24:41
  SPEAKER_01: And then more rustling and a dragging sound.
• 2:24:44
  SPEAKER_02: Sounds like it got dinner.
• 2:24:49
  SPEAKER_02: Think we're safe.
• 2:24:56
  SPEAKER_01: There's some more rustling,
• 2:24:57
  but the rustling starts getting further away as you assume
• 2:25:01
  whatever was just hunted
• 2:25:03
  SPEAKER_01: something is moving away.
• 2:25:08
  SPEAKER_00: I guess we're not going to be dead or something.
• 2:25:15
  SPEAKER_01: Nothing else eventful during your watch,
• 2:25:17
  and you know where nothing else comes up towards the surface of
• 2:25:21
  the water.
• 2:25:26
  SPEAKER_01: At this point,
• 2:25:28
  SPEAKER_01: what everyone,
• 2:25:29
  SPEAKER_01: I believe,
• 2:25:30
  has been waiting for is you may hit the long rest button as you
• 2:25:34
  all have completed
• 2:25:35
  SPEAKER_01: an uneventful
• 2:25:38
  SPEAKER_00: long rest we've not died about what a surprise
• 2:26:03
  SPEAKER_02: So when I had that,
• 2:26:05
  SPEAKER_02: my max health removed from that attack,
• 2:26:08
  SPEAKER_02: how long did that,
• 2:26:09
  SPEAKER_02: I got that all back now,
• 2:26:10
  SPEAKER_02: right?
• 2:26:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 2:26:11
  SPEAKER_01: On a long rest, you recover that.
• 2:26:14
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 2:26:15
  SPEAKER_01: From that.
• 2:26:16
  SPEAKER_01: It did automatically.
• 2:26:17
  SPEAKER_01: I just want to, yeah.
• 2:26:18
  SPEAKER_01: It did automatically.
• 2:26:18
  SPEAKER_01: I just want to make sure that's all.
• 2:26:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 2:26:22
  SPEAKER_01: From that effect specifically, it came back.
• 2:26:27
  SPEAKER_01: Some of them don't come back on a long rest.
• 2:26:30
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 2:26:30
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 2:26:37
  SPEAKER_01: It is a little earlier than normal,
• 2:26:40
  SPEAKER_01: but with that,
• 2:26:41
  SPEAKER_01: I believe that is a good cutting point for tonight's session.
• 2:26:46
  We can't get into too much else in the time we have left for
• 2:26:50
  this evening.
• 2:26:51
  SPEAKER_01: So we're going to cut it here for story purposes,
• 2:26:54
  and we will be back here next week with what is to come on now
• 2:27:02
  this multi-group
• 2:27:05
  SPEAKER_01: adventure.
• 2:27:07
  SPEAKER_01: And how they're going to handle their friends,
• 2:27:12
  SPEAKER_01: new allies,
• 2:27:13
  SPEAKER_01: acquaintances,
• 2:27:14
  SPEAKER_01: whatever we would like to call them.
• 2:27:16
  SPEAKER_01: You all also still don't have a group name.
• 2:27:22
  SPEAKER_01: So there's that.
• 2:27:23
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, we've always been so good at that.
• 2:27:27
  SPEAKER_01: They're new traveling buddies, at least temporarily.
• 2:27:32
