- 0:35SPEAKER_01: Let's head into the adventure.
- 0:42SPEAKER_01: Welcome, fellow adventurers, nerds, and neurodivergents.
- 0:44SPEAKER_01: Sit back, stay hydrated, and prepare yourselves for tonight's adventure.
- 0:49SPEAKER_01: Last we left off,
- 0:50SPEAKER_01: secondhand souls continued investigating the basement of their newly,
- 0:55SPEAKER_01: tenuously acquired building.
- 0:58SPEAKER_01: They continued investigating the basement and turned their attention to
- 1:01SPEAKER_01: the inactive arcane crystal that was set in some kind of apparatus on the floor.
- 1:06SPEAKER_01: There was an inscription around the base of the apparatus along with
- 1:10SPEAKER_01: an etched inscription around the base of the broken stone slab.
- 1:14SPEAKER_01: They also found a channel running from the crystal's apparatus to
- 1:18SPEAKER_01: the broken stone slab and up the side.
- 1:22SPEAKER_01: They contemplated what they found for a bit before trying to leave.
- 1:27SPEAKER_01: This triggered a trap, and the two broken statues came to life.
- 1:30SPEAKER_01: At about this time, Gay Alverna passed out for some unknown reason.
- 1:36SPEAKER_01: They worked to protect her while taking down the animated statues.
- 1:41SPEAKER_01: Upon the statue's destruction, a spirit was released from each one and continued the assault.
- 1:46SPEAKER_01: After putting these spirits to rest,
- 1:48SPEAKER_01: they all heard a loud click and thud as the hatch sprung open.
- 1:52SPEAKER_01: They each rushed up the ladder before it could close them in again.
- 1:55SPEAKER_01: Gael Verna awoke around this time after being slapped by and was startled.
- 2:03SPEAKER_01: After being slapped by Lala and was startled.
- 2:05SPEAKER_01: They questioned her,
- 2:06SPEAKER_01: explored the upstairs briefly,
- 2:08SPEAKER_01: then went back to Obscure Ivory and Company for the evening.
- 2:11SPEAKER_01: They also additionally gained a level up.
- 2:16SPEAKER_01: So now everyone is level 11.
- 2:19SPEAKER_01: You guys had spent the evening
- 2:25SPEAKER_01: with some merriment, eating some refreshments.
- 2:31SPEAKER_01: Kind of just walking back.
- 2:32SPEAKER_01: You ran into the two Goliaths as well as you were walking back
- 2:39SPEAKER_01: and they were just kind of standing guard.
- 2:41SPEAKER_01: At this time, Kaida comes in with Poppy.
- 2:45SPEAKER_01: She kind of shoves Poppy in through the door and Iris,
- 2:50SPEAKER_01: and they kind of just stand at the front and chill out,
- 2:54SPEAKER_01: making sure to keep Iris away from Thesson.
- 2:57SPEAKER_01: You all were given...
- 3:01SPEAKER_01: Simple, but passable rooms for the evening here.
- 3:07SPEAKER_01: And if there's anything between dinner and the evening dress that you would like
- 3:12SPEAKER_01: to do, we can go through that now, or we can just move on to the next morning.
- 3:18SPEAKER_00: I personally don't have anything for the rest of this evening.
- 3:22SPEAKER_03: I'm all good.
- 3:25SPEAKER_03: If I did, I don't remember.
- 3:27SPEAKER_03: All good.
- 3:30SPEAKER_01: The evening passes without much commotion.
- 3:35SPEAKER_01: You all wake up the next morning, come down a very sketchy set of wooden stairs.
- 3:43SPEAKER_01: Like, if you've ever gone up old wooden stairs, just the sketchiest wooden stairs.
- 3:48SPEAKER_01: The railing kind of wiggles as you hold onto it.
- 3:53SPEAKER_01: One of the stairs creaks a little bit too much.
- 3:57SPEAKER_01: Couple of steps,
- 3:58SPEAKER_01: a few from the bottom are broken,
- 3:59SPEAKER_01: you kind of have to leap down to the next step before you get down there.
- 4:08SPEAKER_01: So you guys come down the stairs, you're like, you know, all over here, I'll say.
- 4:20SPEAKER_01: I'd say, Wakim,
- 4:21SPEAKER_01: unless you perpetually keep a shadow up while you sleep,
- 4:24SPEAKER_01: would you have your shadow up still in the morning?
- 4:27SPEAKER_01: No, no, no.
- 4:29SPEAKER_01: Dismissed.
- 4:34SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 4:35SPEAKER_01: There's a lot of noise coming through your mic every time you do the push to talk.
- 4:39SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry.
- 4:40SPEAKER_01: I don't know why.
- 4:43SPEAKER_01: I think it's...
- 4:43SPEAKER_01: Hold on.
- 4:45SPEAKER_00: Does that help?
- 4:48SPEAKER_01: Let's try again.
- 4:50SPEAKER_01: Try to push to talk to speak again.
- 4:53SPEAKER_00: Testing.
- 4:55SPEAKER_01: That's better.
- 4:56SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 4:56SPEAKER_00: I think it was the fan that I had next near me.
- 5:00SPEAKER_00: That's odd.
- 5:03SPEAKER_01: But that's fine.
- 5:05SPEAKER_03: Is mine working now?
- 5:06SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 5:08SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 5:08SPEAKER_01: Oh, was yours not working?
- 5:10SPEAKER_03: No, I was trying to check in before I say I was good, but nobody was hearing me.
- 5:14SPEAKER_03: I didn't even see the green registering, so.
- 5:18SPEAKER_01: That's odd.
- 5:19SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 5:20SPEAKER_01: You're good.
- 5:23SPEAKER_01: You see Miss Verna come out with a bunch of little automatons.
- 5:28SPEAKER_01: Ah!
- 5:29SPEAKER_01: You're awake!
- 5:30SPEAKER_01: How is the evening's rest for you all?
- 5:36SPEAKER_00: I mean, I did.
- 5:37SPEAKER_00: I think your accommodations just need a little bit of work, but that's fine.
- 5:44SPEAKER_00: This is fine.
- 5:46SPEAKER_00: I'm rested.
- 5:46SPEAKER_01: I mean, We'll try to make some upgrades as we are helped by both your patronage
- 5:58SPEAKER_01: and your business.
- 5:59SPEAKER_01: Hopefully that will help others come to us as well.
- 6:04SPEAKER_01: I have some breakfast brought out for you all.
- 6:08SPEAKER_01: And the automatons rush up with like less stale smelling coffee than yesterday.
- 6:17SPEAKER_01: And some fresher bread.
- 6:21SPEAKER_01: And like basic meats and eggs and whatnot.
- 6:25SPEAKER_00: Does it still crack?
- 6:27SPEAKER_00: Does the bread crack?
- 6:29SPEAKER_00: No.
- 6:30SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 6:32SPEAKER_00: There's actually some gift to it.
- 6:34SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 6:35SPEAKER_00: Joaquin will do a test bite.
- 6:40SPEAKER_01: It's a little dry, but it's still, it's better than the bread yesterday.
- 6:44SPEAKER_00: Nowhere to go but up.
- 6:46SPEAKER_00: So, and he'll, uh, and I don't know.
- 6:51SPEAKER_00: Have some honey butter with it.
- 6:53SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 6:53SPEAKER_00: Oh, thank you.
- 6:55SPEAKER_00: I will definitely take some honey butter.
- 6:57SPEAKER_00: Is there anything to drink other than partially stale coffee?
- 7:01SPEAKER_01: We have some water?
- 7:02SPEAKER_00: If you want an
- 7:04SPEAKER_01: alcoholic beverage, I can give you that.
- 7:07SPEAKER_00: Hey, now you're talking to my alley.
- 7:12SPEAKER_00: That's him.
- 7:12SPEAKER_00: It's too early for me.
- 7:14SPEAKER_00: But I will have some water.
- 7:17SPEAKER_00: Turtle Man, drinks are all you enjoy yourself.
- 7:20SPEAKER_00: Hey, I'm...
- 7:22SPEAKER_03: It's better than the mysterious, stale coffee.
- 7:26SPEAKER_03: I mean, if it's...
- 7:27SPEAKER_03: What time do you guys brew your coffee if it's morning, but yet it's still stale?
- 7:31SPEAKER_01: I actually know when this coffee was brewed today.
- 7:35SPEAKER_01: The automatons take care of that.
- 7:36SPEAKER_01: You see there's a broken-down automaton in the corner.
- 7:38SPEAKER_01: It's just kind of... Two other ones just kind of bang into each other.
- 7:43SPEAKER_01: Yeah, there's...
- 7:44SPEAKER_01: They need some help sometimes.
- 7:47SPEAKER_02: They're special.
- 7:48SPEAKER_02: It's okay.
- 7:51SPEAKER_01: One without a head rolls up to you,
- 7:53SPEAKER_01: Reanor, next to you, bangs in the table a little bit, and then holds out a folder.
- 8:00SPEAKER_02: I'll take the folder and then like pat its hands.
- 8:03SPEAKER_02: Good little automaton.
- 8:06SPEAKER_01: In the folder is agreement of some kind.
- 8:12SPEAKER_01: The agreement is between Obscure Ivory and Company and Secondhand Souls.
- 8:19SPEAKER_01: It is
- 8:21SPEAKER_01: Lease agreement, commercial tenancy agreement.
- 8:29SPEAKER_01: For your services of ridding the building that you're going to lease
- 8:35SPEAKER_01: of evil spirits, the security deposit is waived.
- 8:42SPEAKER_01: And as if you were to end the tenancy,
- 8:44SPEAKER_01: the security deposit would be given to you at that amount given in the agreement.
- 8:52SPEAKER_01: Rent is covered in here.
- 8:57SPEAKER_02: Question.
- 8:58SPEAKER_02: What is the ethical code of operating a guild?
- 9:05SPEAKER_01: You're not sure.
- 9:10SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 9:11SPEAKER_01: Because there's no guild authority over here.
- 9:14SPEAKER_01: The current guild authority has gone through leadership changes.
- 9:22SPEAKER_01: Because you guys were accused of two coups.
- 9:32SPEAKER_00: But we cleared ourselves of that, didn't we?
- 9:36SPEAKER_01: With the Keldesian Council, you did.
- 9:39SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 9:42SPEAKER_00: But we're not in Keldes anymore.
- 9:44SPEAKER_01: You are in Keldes.
- 9:45SPEAKER_00: Oh, so then...
- 9:47SPEAKER_01: But there's no...
- 9:52SPEAKER_01: There is no governing ethical code that is agreed upon between guilds currently
- 9:58SPEAKER_01: because the largest guild was the Onyx Accord.
- 10:03SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 10:05SPEAKER_03: I mean, don't they have their own bylaws they could provide?
- 10:10SPEAKER_00: Apparently not.
- 10:13SPEAKER_03: Sounds like bitch behavior, motherless behavior.
- 10:22SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, maybe we can fix that.
- 10:25SPEAKER_00: But we have to... Has that agreement been signed already?
- 10:30SPEAKER_00: Or are you about to sign that?
- 10:33SPEAKER_00: Because we got some work to do.
- 10:35SPEAKER_00: Then I guess we got to clear this place of evil spirits.
- 10:39SPEAKER_03: I mean, any money...
- 10:44SPEAKER_03: I did.
- 10:45SPEAKER_03: You're welcome.
- 10:47SPEAKER_03: You used our blood.
- 10:50SPEAKER_00: Is that it?
- 10:51SPEAKER_00: Oh, I see how it is.
- 10:53SPEAKER_03: You bring three ingredients to the picnic and suddenly you made the buffet.
- 10:57SPEAKER_02: I feel like I should have taken an Adderall to read this.
- 11:05SPEAKER_01: Oh, you didn't have to read it right now.
- 11:07SPEAKER_02: I have questions.
- 11:09SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 11:10SPEAKER_02: It can't be signed.
- 11:13SPEAKER_02: I'm going to ask Gay Elvira.
- 11:16SPEAKER_01: Verna.
- 11:17SPEAKER_02: No, Gay Elvira.
- 11:19SPEAKER_02: There you go.
- 11:20SPEAKER_02: Um...
- 11:21SPEAKER_02: What the, where was it?
- 11:25SPEAKER_02: The ethical code of operating a guild and where that's written down so I can see it.
- 11:33SPEAKER_01: We don't have one, so it's not applicable.
- 11:37SPEAKER_02: Then I would like that removed from the lease.
- 11:39SPEAKER_01: But it says, if applicable.
- 11:41SPEAKER_01: So it cannot be removed.
- 11:44SPEAKER_02: But it can.
- 11:47SPEAKER_02: Because you wrote it.
- 11:49SPEAKER_01: No, he wrote it.
- 11:50SPEAKER_02: Who?
- 11:51SPEAKER_01: She's pointing to the headless automaton.
- 11:56SPEAKER_02: Well, then you can have him change it because he works for you.
- 12:02SPEAKER_02: So that should be removed.
- 12:08SPEAKER_02: You can just say illegal.
- 12:11SPEAKER_03: Our guild bylaws clearly state that we do not sign documents written by headless automatons.
- 12:22SPEAKER_03: Then the fine print.
- 12:30SPEAKER_02: When does this have to be signed by?
- 12:33SPEAKER_01: Just has to be signed before you take ownership of the tenancy of the premises across the way.
- 12:39SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 12:44SPEAKER_01: I can have it a draft adjusted.
- 12:51SPEAKER_02: Yes, do that.
- 12:52SPEAKER_01: If you so desire.
- 12:56SPEAKER_01: And she waves her hand at the automaton.
- 12:58SPEAKER_01: He kind of just bangs into a couple stuff as he goes away.
- 13:02SPEAKER_01: Is there anything else you all are doing during this time?
- 13:13SPEAKER_00: Again, I'm just I guess I would ask the proprietor here.
- 13:20SPEAKER_00: Did we fulfill the requirements for this contract here?
- 13:23SPEAKER_00: I mean, have we quote-unquote vanquished all these spirits?
- 13:27SPEAKER_00: I mean, was downstairs all we had to deal with?
- 13:33SPEAKER_00: Because I don't want anything popping out during my beauty rest.
- 13:44SPEAKER_01: I mean, I didn't even know those things downstairs were there.
- 13:52SPEAKER_00: Kind of gives her a deadpan look.
- 13:54SPEAKER_00: That's not an answer.
- 13:57SPEAKER_00: That's more questions.
- 13:58SPEAKER_00: You're supposed to have the answers here?
- 14:07SPEAKER_03: He doesn't.
- 14:09SPEAKER_01: I do not have any further answers, unfortunately.
- 14:13SPEAKER_01: This whole problem was what I had inherited from the previous guild leader.
- 14:24SPEAKER_00: I feel like we need to do a once over of this entire place before we sign anything,
- 14:30SPEAKER_00: but that would just be my recommendation.
- 14:33SPEAKER_00: Do as you will.
- 14:38SPEAKER_03: We did.
- 14:38SPEAKER_03: We checked upstairs last time too, just to be sure.
- 14:41SPEAKER_03: Didn't find anything.
- 14:42SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 14:47SPEAKER_00: If y'all are feeling safe and he kind of just puts his hands up in acquiescence.
- 14:54SPEAKER_00: I suppose we...
- 14:57SPEAKER_03: Safe is a song.
- 14:59SPEAKER_00: It's a what what?
- 15:01SPEAKER_03: I said safe is not the term.
- 15:05SPEAKER_00: I mean, definitely not.
- 15:06SPEAKER_00: And he kind of presses down on one of the creaky floorboards
- 15:13SPEAKER_00: with his foot.
- 15:16SPEAKER_00: Rickety is more like it.
- 15:21SPEAKER_00: But I know a guy.
- 15:23SPEAKER_00: Here's someone we can use from who does work for Sue Sailing.
- 15:27SPEAKER_00: Maybe I can get him to come down and do some repairs?
- 15:32SPEAKER_03: Any work on stationary buildings that aren't sea-bound?
- 15:36SPEAKER_00: He's a general repairman demon child.
- 15:40SPEAKER_00: He does all the things.
- 15:43SPEAKER_00: Even if you like him.
- 15:47SPEAKER_03: You know what they say, jacks of all trades are masters of men.
- 15:53SPEAKER_03: Yeah, he's a woodsman.
- 15:55SPEAKER_03: Oh, sorry, go ahead.
- 15:58SPEAKER_03: But he's a woodsman.
- 15:59SPEAKER_03: He works with wood.
- 16:00SPEAKER_03: I'm sure just because it's not curvy and has to float, I'm sure he can still build it.
- 16:10SPEAKER_03: Of course, Joaquin is very familiar with a man who only works with the straight wood.
- 16:20SPEAKER_00: I feel like you're trying to mess with me, Demon John.
- 16:23SPEAKER_00: But I'm not taking the bit.
- 16:27SPEAKER_00: And he will take another bite of not stale bread.
- 16:35SPEAKER_01: The headless automaton zips back up to the table.
- 16:43SPEAKER_01: And you watch it as its its chest cavity opens up and it starts spitting out paper
- 16:50SPEAKER_01: at you, you know,
- 16:59SPEAKER_02: Am I at risk of a paper cut?
- 17:01SPEAKER_02: Should I be concerned?
- 17:03SPEAKER_01: It's just like a printer gone wild.
- 17:05SPEAKER_02: Is this an attack?
- 17:08SPEAKER_01: He malfunctioned.
- 17:09SPEAKER_01: Just smack him on the head, on his neck.
- 17:14SPEAKER_02: He's going to like pat his head a couple times?
- 17:16SPEAKER_01: No, this is the headless one.
- 17:18SPEAKER_02: Yeah, pat where his head should be.
- 17:31SPEAKER_02: What does it do?
- 17:34SPEAKER_01: It collapsed and then got back up.
- 17:36SPEAKER_01: The region holds out an updated contract.
- 17:47SPEAKER_01: Updated contract.
- 17:49SPEAKER_02: And it's all good?
- 17:52SPEAKER_01: I made the update you requested.
- 17:55SPEAKER_01: Hey guys,
- 17:55SPEAKER_01: quick reminder to leave a like,
- 17:58SPEAKER_01: a comment, and don't forget to follow or subscribe to us.
- 18:01SPEAKER_01: Thanks!
- 18:05SPEAKER_02: I'll pass it to Joaquim.
- 18:10SPEAKER_00: What's this now?
- 18:13SPEAKER_01: Joaquim, you have been handed the updated tenancy agreement.
- 18:19SPEAKER_00: Oh.
- 18:20SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's fine.
- 18:21SPEAKER_00: I'll play the bookkeeper.
- 18:23SPEAKER_00: And I will Look it over real quick.
- 18:30SPEAKER_00: You know, your handwriting is terrible.
- 18:36SPEAKER_01: Not her handwriting.
- 18:40SPEAKER_00: Whose handwriting is it?
- 18:41SPEAKER_00: I didn't sign it.
- 18:43SPEAKER_01: No, she didn't sign it yet.
- 18:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's not signed.
- 18:48SPEAKER_00: Who wrote this?
- 18:49SPEAKER_00: This penmanship is atrocious.
- 18:54SPEAKER_01: The headless one.
- 18:58SPEAKER_00: Well, actually that makes perfect sense.
- 19:00SPEAKER_00: No hands.
- 19:03SPEAKER_00: At least it's legible.
- 19:06SPEAKER_00: You know, are you signing this thing or are we just holding on to
- 19:18SPEAKER_02: it?
- 19:20SPEAKER_02: Is there anything on it that I should be concerned about?
- 19:24SPEAKER_02: Is there like fine print written somewhere?
- 19:26SPEAKER_02: No.
- 19:29SPEAKER_02: No?
- 19:29SPEAKER_01: I didn't put any fine print in this very basic contract.
- 19:36SPEAKER_02: There's no double entendre that I should be aware of?
- 19:39SPEAKER_02: Nope.
- 19:43SPEAKER_01: Your rent is in every other month.
- 19:48SPEAKER_01: Your security deposit is waived.
- 19:53SPEAKER_03: How much is our rent?
- 19:57SPEAKER_01: She negotiated it from $3,000 a month to $2,500.
- 19:59SPEAKER_01: Wait, I thought it was from $3,000 for every 2 months to $2,500 for
- 20:03SPEAKER_00: every 2 months.
- 20:04SPEAKER_00: I have no doubt.
- 20:04SPEAKER_00: I have gold and
- 20:06SPEAKER_01: platinum gold.
- 20:22SPEAKER_00: 2,500 gold for two
- 20:26SPEAKER_03: months.
- 20:28SPEAKER_00: What was being waived if we kind of, you know, exterminated the ghosts?
- 20:32SPEAKER_03: It was a security deposit.
- 20:34SPEAKER_03: Oh, security deposit.
- 20:35SPEAKER_01: My mistake.
- 20:40SPEAKER_01: The security deposit was 5,000 gold pieces.
- 20:44SPEAKER_00: So do we have an income that will pay for this place, Kenneth?
- 20:51SPEAKER_03: I mean, we get treasures, but like that seems excessive.
- 20:59SPEAKER_01: My lovely wife said that she would cover the first payment
- 21:05SPEAKER_01: and that'll give me two months to get a business up and running.
- 21:07SPEAKER_01: And I'm pretty sure I can do that in two months as kind of talking.
- 21:12SPEAKER_00: What services?
- 21:16SPEAKER_01: Well, I don't really have a place to go work,
- 21:20SPEAKER_01: so I figured we'd just...
- 21:25SPEAKER_03: Gonna do nails and hair?
- 21:27SPEAKER_01: Be the Onyx Accord, but better.
- 21:31SPEAKER_01: So taking mercenary work?
- 21:34SPEAKER_01: The Onyx Accord didn't do mercenary work.
- 21:36SPEAKER_01: The Onyx Accord helped independent organizations.
- 21:40SPEAKER_01: That's how it started.
- 21:44SPEAKER_01: We collected information, we did jobs for hire, and we
- 21:53SPEAKER_01: assisted other organizations.
- 21:55SPEAKER_01: That was most of our work.
- 21:58SPEAKER_01: The ones that hit the news are the big jobs,
- 22:01SPEAKER_01: and that's here and there, but those don't come through every now and again.
- 22:07SPEAKER_01: It's the small jobs that keep the doors open.
- 22:10SPEAKER_00: Not unlike mercenary work, but more.
- 22:14SPEAKER_00: I getcha.
- 22:16SPEAKER_01: Help these guilds around here rebuild their footing after they lost direction from
- 22:21SPEAKER_01: the Onyx Accord since, you know, we apparently took down the Onyx Accord leadership.
- 22:29SPEAKER_01: Should we raise that statement?
- 22:31SPEAKER_00: I mean, well, screw them.
- 22:34SPEAKER_00: They don't know anything.
- 22:35SPEAKER_00: Um, but, and I look around to the rest of the group.
- 22:38SPEAKER_00: Should we maybe go around and introduce ourselves?
- 22:41SPEAKER_00: See if we can, uh, Drum up some business.
- 22:52SPEAKER_01: Let's not be too hasty.
- 22:55SPEAKER_01: Our place of business is a mess right now.
- 23:00SPEAKER_01: I'm going to need some time to put it together.
- 23:04SPEAKER_02: That's why we tell them we'll be opening on so-and-so day.
- 23:09SPEAKER_00: But they need to know who the new faces are.
- 23:14SPEAKER_01: And I can take, you know, who's staying with me?
- 23:18SPEAKER_01: I'm keeping the puppy, right?
- 23:21SPEAKER_01: Puppyfish?
- 23:27SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 23:28SPEAKER_03: I've given money for savings.
- 23:30SPEAKER_01: And Iris.
- 23:33SPEAKER_01: My darling, my sweet wife.
- 23:37SPEAKER_01: Are you taking Poppy?
- 23:42SPEAKER_02: I will ask the rest of the group if they want Poppy to come with.
- 23:54SPEAKER_03: Don't be lonely.
- 23:57SPEAKER_02: What was that?
- 23:58SPEAKER_02: Won't be lonely.
- 24:00SPEAKER_02: Won't be lonely.
- 24:01SPEAKER_02: All right, she comes with.
- 24:03SPEAKER_02: And of course Thesson comes with.
- 24:05SPEAKER_01: Well, Thesson can't stay here.
- 24:07SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
- 24:08SPEAKER_01: And it's easier for you to take Fesson on the road than a child.
- 24:13SPEAKER_01: She looks at Iris and Iris and she's kind of playing with some of the broken gears
- 24:17SPEAKER_01: on the ground.
- 24:19SPEAKER_02: Is that... Should she be doing that?
- 24:23SPEAKER_01: She's fine.
- 24:25SPEAKER_02: They're dirt.
- 24:27SPEAKER_02: She can't eat them.
- 24:29SPEAKER_01: She ate the bird.
- 24:34SPEAKER_02: And that makes gears okay?
- 24:36SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 24:37SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 24:41SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 24:43SPEAKER_03: So what are we going to do to let people know that we're here to help?
- 24:52SPEAKER_03: The only reason I ask is I think we need to at least do something to one up
- 24:57SPEAKER_03: the people that were out front before what the resistance or whatever that's trying
- 25:03SPEAKER_03: to gather them To overthrow the council,
- 25:06SPEAKER_03: so I just think we need to do something more than just word of mouth and flyers.
- 25:11SPEAKER_03: We need to actually show them that we're here to help.
- 25:23SPEAKER_01: I mean, that's up to you guys on how you want to handle that.
- 25:30SPEAKER_01: I'll be managing the business and The guild and operations and whatnot
- 25:35SPEAKER_01: while you guys are off doing your thing, but...
- 25:40SPEAKER_01: I can't promote to, that was never my strong suit.
- 25:44SPEAKER_01: That's why we have Joaquim, and she added gestures to Joaquim, the pretty boy.
- 25:49SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, no, that's fine.
- 25:51SPEAKER_00: Again, this is a face-to-face thing.
- 25:53SPEAKER_00: We need to go around and introduce ourselves.
- 26:00SPEAKER_00: No flyers.
- 26:02SPEAKER_01: All right, well,
- 26:03SPEAKER_01: I'll take Puppyfish and Iris and we'll work on getting the building together,
- 26:10SPEAKER_01: at least, and see what I can do.
- 26:15SPEAKER_01: That is, of course, after we sign this document.
- 26:20SPEAKER_01: But I guess who wants to sign the document?
- 26:30SPEAKER_00: I point to you, Nor.
- 26:34SPEAKER_02: Gee, thanks.
- 26:38SPEAKER_02: You're welcome.
- 26:46SPEAKER_02: Talking to Joaquim and the rest,
- 26:50SPEAKER_02: for the record,
- 26:52SPEAKER_02: it doesn't explicitly state that we shall not engage in any illegal activities on
- 26:59SPEAKER_02: the premise.
- 26:59SPEAKER_02: It says no illegal activities.
- 27:02SPEAKER_02: Do we think that's an issue?
- 27:04SPEAKER_00: I have no issues with not doing illegal activities.
- 27:12SPEAKER_00: What about you all?
- 27:14SPEAKER_03: I'm good with that.
- 27:18SPEAKER_03: What was that?
- 27:21SPEAKER_03: I'm good with that.
- 27:24SPEAKER_03: Pretty sure we're going to be doing illegal activities.
- 27:27SPEAKER_03: I don't know how they're going to find out about it.
- 27:30SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
- 27:30SPEAKER_03: It's not illegal unless you get caught.
- 27:33SPEAKER_00: What are you all talking about?
- 27:37SPEAKER_03: We don't have a guidance book, right?
- 27:40SPEAKER_03: So what do we know what's legal and not legal in the guild organization?
- 27:45SPEAKER_02: That's fair.
- 27:45SPEAKER_02: Illegal by whose laws?
- 27:48SPEAKER_00: Oh my god.
- 27:49SPEAKER_00: This is going very badly.
- 27:51SPEAKER_00: We're not criminals.
- 27:53SPEAKER_03: We're not criminals.
- 27:57SPEAKER_00: No, you're just a demon.
- 27:59SPEAKER_00: Any kind of gestures to all of you.
- 28:01SPEAKER_00: Everything just No.
- 28:04SPEAKER_00: We're not criminals, but
- 28:06SPEAKER_03: we could come in possession of illegal objects.
- 28:12SPEAKER_00: And then we turn them over.
- 28:19SPEAKER_03: Joaquin, I hate you, but you have a very high opinion of me, and it needs to come down a little.
- 28:28SPEAKER_00: And he looks at you and then he kind of,
- 28:30SPEAKER_00: he literally just looks over your head because you're shorter than him.
- 28:35SPEAKER_00: And he's like, you're absolutely right.
- 28:37SPEAKER_00: I need to adjust my vision.
- 28:41SPEAKER_03: I'll sign it.
- 28:46SPEAKER_03: You don't hand it to Lella.
- 28:50SPEAKER_03: Lella signs.
- 28:53SPEAKER_01: Is she old enough to sign?
- 28:56SPEAKER_03: She's a legal adult.
- 28:57SPEAKER_03: I would assume so.
- 28:59SPEAKER_03: Unless they have, you know, specific age laws that I'm not aware of.
- 29:07SPEAKER_03: And anyway, how would they know?
- 29:10SPEAKER_03: Kind of the point.
- 29:11SPEAKER_03: You enter an illegal document contract with a minor.
- 29:15SPEAKER_03: That's on you, not me.
- 29:17SPEAKER_03: I'm the minor.
- 29:25SPEAKER_01: I'm going to need a cosigner on this document.
- 29:30SPEAKER_02: Unfortunately, you didn't say that before it was signed.
- 29:33SPEAKER_02: It's been signed now.
- 29:36SPEAKER_01: You can walk stuff and just.
- 29:40SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 29:41SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 29:42SPEAKER_02: You know, we're just going to grab her hand.
- 29:44SPEAKER_02: Do not.
- 29:47SPEAKER_02: Lala is an adult.
- 29:55SPEAKER_02: Far as you all know.
- 29:57SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
- 30:00SPEAKER_01: Ida waved her other hand and says,
- 30:06SPEAKER_01: sorry babe, but uh,
- 30:11SPEAKER_01: and the pen that was on the ground.
- 30:16SPEAKER_01: And then she stopped waving her other hand.
- 30:19SPEAKER_02: You know, this is grounds for a fight later.
- 30:26SPEAKER_01: It's okay, I don't need to talk to win that fight.
- 30:31SPEAKER_02: You're right.
- 30:31SPEAKER_02: I just won't talk to you.
- 30:33SPEAKER_02: And she's going to turn her head away snoodily.
- 30:45SPEAKER_01: The automation,
- 30:47SPEAKER_01: the automaton takes the document and looks at it
- 30:53SPEAKER_01: and then shows it to Miss Verna
- 30:57SPEAKER_01: and she looks at it and says,
- 31:01SPEAKER_01: This only has Lala's signature on it.
- 31:06SPEAKER_01: What did Ju write on it?
- 31:07SPEAKER_01: And Ju points to Kaida and Kaida just points below Lala's signature.
- 31:10SPEAKER_01: And
- 31:13SPEAKER_01: it just says, I am a certified adult underneath Lala's signature.
- 31:21SPEAKER_02: I don't know if that counts because she didn't write it, but all right.
- 31:25SPEAKER_02: Look at that shit.
- 31:26SPEAKER_02: Certified.
- 31:26SPEAKER_02: It's just still right there.
- 31:31SPEAKER_01: It can't prove she didn't write it because it was written with the same pen.
- 31:43SPEAKER_01: Carry your keys.
- 31:46SPEAKER_01: And she tosses your keys on the table.
- 31:58SPEAKER_00: I'll take the keys.
- 31:59SPEAKER_00: I pick them up and...
- 32:01SPEAKER_00: Joaquin puts them in his pocket.
- 32:03SPEAKER_01: Well, wait, I need one of those keys.
- 32:06SPEAKER_00: Kind of.
- 32:08SPEAKER_00: Oh, kind of.
- 32:09SPEAKER_00: Yes, no, absolutely.
- 32:10SPEAKER_00: And I give her the key.
- 32:13SPEAKER_01: You guys keep one key with you.
- 32:15SPEAKER_01: I'll keep the other key.
- 32:18SPEAKER_01: Until we figure out a different locking system that's not physical keys.
- 32:25SPEAKER_00: Sounds good.
- 32:26SPEAKER_00: And Joaquin kind of gets ready to go.
- 32:29SPEAKER_00: Anything else you all want to do here?
- 32:35SPEAKER_00: Nope.
- 32:39SPEAKER_01: Who's paying me?
- 32:44SPEAKER_02: I'll hand her the money.
- 32:48SPEAKER_01: Do you subtract it from your...
- 32:50SPEAKER_02: I will when I get back to my computer.
- 32:52SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 32:54SPEAKER_01: She takes a sack of gold.
- 32:57SPEAKER_01: Very well.
- 32:59SPEAKER_01: Enjoy your...
- 33:01SPEAKER_01: Place of business and I'm always right across the way if you need any assistance.
- 33:09SPEAKER_01: And she walks you guys out.
- 33:13SPEAKER_01: So we do... We would be Dare.
- 33:23SPEAKER_03: I'm a guild owner.
- 33:33SPEAKER_01: As you guys begin walking out, you hear a commotion at the front door.
- 33:38SPEAKER_01: Alright, we said not to let you in.
- 33:45SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you're not allowed in here.
- 33:49SPEAKER_01: And you hear thuds.
- 33:56SPEAKER_00: What the hell's going on out there?
- 33:59SPEAKER_03: A motion in front of my guild?
- 34:02SPEAKER_01: Oh my.
- 34:02SPEAKER_01: It's in front of this guild.
- 34:05SPEAKER_00: She's gone mad with power already.
- 34:07SPEAKER_03: I said what I said.
- 34:10SPEAKER_01: One of the goliaths is thrown through the door and into the desk that's there
- 34:17SPEAKER_01: and is knocked unconscious.
- 34:22SPEAKER_00: Really?
- 34:26SPEAKER_00: Whoa.
- 34:29SPEAKER_00: Can we see by what?
- 34:30SPEAKER_01: I mean,
- 34:32SPEAKER_01: the door's doing the thing where it's kind of just swinging back and forth to open
- 34:34SPEAKER_01: and close, so you just see a few humanoid figures out there.
- 34:41SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I would cautiously go to see if I can peek over.
- 34:46SPEAKER_00: Because...
- 34:48SPEAKER_01: You're both moving to check on him.
- 34:50SPEAKER_01: So, Wakim, you'd be about halfway there.
- 34:52SPEAKER_01: Crockett can move a little faster.
- 34:54SPEAKER_01: The other one gets thrown through the door.
- 34:57SPEAKER_01: The door breaks.
- 34:59SPEAKER_01: And he just kind of slides along the floor.
- 35:04SPEAKER_00: Why are you beating up our guards?
- 35:10SPEAKER_03: Someone is throwing their trash into our guild.
- 35:14SPEAKER_00: I would call someone a shadow.
- 35:16SPEAKER_00: Um.
- 35:19SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I summon a shadow.
- 35:24SPEAKER_00: And then as soon as they walk in, I would then manifest a weapon.
- 35:30SPEAKER_00: What do you guys want?
- 35:33SPEAKER_01: So, I summoned your shadow.
- 35:35SPEAKER_01: You need to decide what you're giving it, although it's probably the extra attack.
- 35:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, extra attack.
- 35:45SPEAKER_00: Default to extra attack.
- 35:47SPEAKER_01: So your shadow also has more HP now.
- 35:52SPEAKER_02: Yay!
- 35:55SPEAKER_01: So instead of 20, it's got 25.
- 36:00SPEAKER_01: AC is 17.
- 36:08SPEAKER_01: So you see three individuals walk in.
- 36:13SPEAKER_01: Two of the individuals are cloaked.
- 36:17SPEAKER_01: This one and this one, the two to the back.
- 36:21SPEAKER_01: The one in the front pulls down his cloak.
- 36:27SPEAKER_01: And he's got this like sunken in face.
- 36:31SPEAKER_01: He's kind of gray, like his skin's like grayish and pale.
- 36:38SPEAKER_01: Not natural looking.
- 36:43SPEAKER_01: Apologies.
- 36:45SPEAKER_01: For the intrusion.
- 36:46SPEAKER_01: We're here to collect on a debt.
- 36:52SPEAKER_00: I kind of let my greatsword just kind of rest at my side and then my shadows at my left.
- 37:00SPEAKER_00: Like the greatsword is in my right hand, so it's kind of resting.
- 37:04SPEAKER_00: It's kind of like at rest on my right side and then the shadow is kind
- 37:10SPEAKER_00: of like hovering on my left.
- 37:14SPEAKER_00: And I'm looking down at the Goliath that they tossed through.
- 37:20SPEAKER_00: Were these like Goliath?
- 37:21SPEAKER_00: These are our Goliath guards, right?
- 37:25SPEAKER_01: So you were told, but they didn't really have any weapons or armor.
- 37:30SPEAKER_01: They were just kind of there like bouncers.
- 37:32SPEAKER_00: Yeah, okay.
- 37:34SPEAKER_00: Guards are wrong word, bouncers.
- 37:37SPEAKER_00: So I'm just kind of looking down at him,
- 37:39SPEAKER_00: and then I look back at the guy who started talking and say,
- 37:47SPEAKER_00: Why would you come in?
- 37:48SPEAKER_00: How do you?
- 37:51SPEAKER_00: Wrong way to enter, friend.
- 37:57SPEAKER_01: So as you do that, Yenor is going to be casting Divine Sense.
- 38:04SPEAKER_02: Celestial fiend.
- 38:06SPEAKER_02: Undead.
- 38:07SPEAKER_02: Or undead.
- 38:17SPEAKER_01: The one talking gives off undead energy.
- 38:25SPEAKER_01: Hey guys,
- 38:26SPEAKER_01: quick reminder to leave a like,
- 38:28SPEAKER_01: a comment, and don't forget to follow or subscribe to us.
- 38:32SPEAKER_01: Thanks!
- 38:47SPEAKER_01: You don't know what a lich would feel like,
- 38:49SPEAKER_01: but that's like,
- 38:50SPEAKER_01: God, this is just stronger than undead that you have fought thus far.
- 39:02SPEAKER_01: Apologies, friends.
- 39:07SPEAKER_01: I'm not here for you.
- 39:08SPEAKER_01: I actually don't know who you guys are.
- 39:11SPEAKER_01: I'm here for her.
- 39:14SPEAKER_01: And he points to Gael Verna.
- 39:21SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay.
- 39:23SPEAKER_00: Wait, why?
- 39:25SPEAKER_00: Why do you want her?
- 39:29SPEAKER_00: Why do you care?
- 39:32SPEAKER_02: She's our landlady.
- 39:33SPEAKER_02: If something happens to her, who knows what's going to happen to the building?
- 39:38SPEAKER_03: We buy it and we not have to rent.
- 39:43SPEAKER_03: It's just ours.
- 39:44SPEAKER_03: I'm pretty sure that's how that works.
- 39:48SPEAKER_00: Wrinkly man, why do you want to...
- 39:57SPEAKER_01: Our client, the money.
- 40:02SPEAKER_03: Okay, and we were having a meeting, so maybe if you would have waited your turn...
- 40:07SPEAKER_03: You know, maybe you would, you know, get what you're owed.
- 40:13SPEAKER_01: Oh, she's been talked to by people about this before.
- 40:18SPEAKER_01: We're the, he takes a breath in, enforcers.
- 40:27SPEAKER_03: It's funny, because that's what we are.
- 40:32SPEAKER_00: Joaquin looks at Gale.
- 40:36SPEAKER_00: What have you been doing?
- 40:40SPEAKER_01: The guy, or are you asking her what he's doing?
- 40:45SPEAKER_00: What has she been doing to be in dealings with these kinds of cats?
- 40:53SPEAKER_01: I need it alone to keep the doors open.
- 41:01SPEAKER_00: So you went to the You went to the what, the cemetery and dug up a mobster?
- 41:13SPEAKER_00: Why didn't you just spell it?
- 41:15SPEAKER_01: Took a loan
- 41:21SPEAKER_01: from a sketchy individual.
- 41:25SPEAKER_00: And what did you say, Lala?
- 41:30SPEAKER_03: Hey, that's why she didn't just sell the building.
- 41:32SPEAKER_03: It's sitting here, not making any money because no one wants to rent it.
- 41:36SPEAKER_03: They probably would have bought it.
- 41:38SPEAKER_01: No one wants to buy it either.
- 41:40SPEAKER_03: I would have bought it.
- 41:42SPEAKER_03: You didn't make us that offer.
- 41:49SPEAKER_01: The building's not worth as much as you think.
- 41:53SPEAKER_01: You see this, and he kind of...
- 41:57SPEAKER_01: Motions to the guy behind him and one of the guys behind him just punches the wall
- 42:00SPEAKER_01: and his hand just kind of goes through it.
- 42:02SPEAKER_03: Hey, hey!
- 42:04SPEAKER_03: I already do not think that it's worth this much.
- 42:09SPEAKER_03: But also, don't destroy my shit!
- 42:13SPEAKER_00: We haven't even started renovations yet.
- 42:15SPEAKER_00: Jeez, come on.
- 42:16SPEAKER_01: You're not in your building.
- 42:20SPEAKER_00: They don't know that.
- 42:20SPEAKER_01: That's fair.
- 42:26SPEAKER_01: Let me do a proper introduction.
- 42:30SPEAKER_01: My name is Teth.
- 42:32SPEAKER_01: I'm here to collect on the loan that is owed.
- 42:34SPEAKER_01: If someone has that money for me, I'll be glad to go.
- 42:39SPEAKER_01: Otherwise, we're gonna have a little bit of a problem.
- 42:44SPEAKER_00: For shits and giggles, how much is owed?
- 42:49SPEAKER_01: He looks up at the ceiling for a second and scratch his chin.
- 42:51SPEAKER_01: Uh, what was it that our client said?
- 42:53SPEAKER_01: Uh...
- 42:58SPEAKER_01: Somewhere in the neighborhood of 350,000 gold.
- 43:06SPEAKER_03: You're really bad at your job.
- 43:08SPEAKER_03: You don't even know how much you're supposed to collect.
- 43:14SPEAKER_01: Well, there's the collection fees and the late fees and extraneous hunting fees, you know.
- 43:27SPEAKER_00: Didn't the most recent mayor outlaw all those bullshit fees?
- 43:32SPEAKER_00: You can't do that.
- 43:33SPEAKER_00: That's illegal.
- 43:36SPEAKER_01: See, now that's only the case if you take a loan from one of the commerce guilds.
- 43:44SPEAKER_01: But they wouldn't loan to her.
- 43:50SPEAKER_03: Is it because she's a slumlord?
- 43:55SPEAKER_01: It's because...
- 43:56SPEAKER_01: She wasn't making any money.
- 44:02SPEAKER_03: And then they gave her a loan knowing her credit and that she didn't make enough to pay.
- 44:10SPEAKER_03: That sounds like a you problem.
- 44:12SPEAKER_03: Again, very bad at your jobs.
- 44:16SPEAKER_01: The one that gave her the loan, my client is.
- 44:19SPEAKER_01: I'm just here to collect it.
- 44:21SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 44:22SPEAKER_03: But you should probably be looking at a more profitable company strategy,
- 44:27SPEAKER_03: maybe a new boss, new endeavors.
- 44:31SPEAKER_03: We just opened a guild.
- 44:33SPEAKER_03: We could probably use some enforcers.
- 44:35SPEAKER_03: Have you considered switching careers?
- 44:39SPEAKER_00: I'm going to look at the withered man in the middle and say,
- 44:44SPEAKER_00: I don't even know if we should be speaking to you since all you are are the footmen.
- 44:53SPEAKER_00: If we owe money to your client,
- 44:54SPEAKER_00: we should work out some details and arrange it with your client.
- 44:58SPEAKER_00: We'd be happy to do that.
- 45:01SPEAKER_00: But you coming in here demanding money that clearly nobody is going to give you
- 45:07SPEAKER_00: and won't come out of any sort of thin air or fucked up accompaniments here
- 45:14SPEAKER_00: and he's going to stamp down on a loose floorboard.
- 45:21SPEAKER_00: I don't know what you're expecting here, but this isn't the way to do business.
- 45:31SPEAKER_00: And I guess I would be trying to convince him to
- 45:37SPEAKER_00: give us a meeting with his client.
- 45:41SPEAKER_01: So you'd be making a persuasion check then?
- 45:44SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 45:46SPEAKER_01: I'll give you advantage because you've had various bits of help from other people.
- 45:53SPEAKER_00: Oh, wait.
- 45:55SPEAKER_00: Well, it doesn't matter.
- 45:56SPEAKER_00: That's a natural 20.
- 45:57SPEAKER_01: That is a natural 20.
- 46:00SPEAKER_00: Congratulations, everyone.
- 46:03SPEAKER_00: Yay.
- 46:07SPEAKER_01: I'll tell you what.
- 46:12SPEAKER_01: Prove to us your worth and I'll set up a meeting with my client.
- 46:17SPEAKER_00: How?
- 46:19SPEAKER_01: Trial by combat.
- 46:24SPEAKER_03: Against you.
- 46:25SPEAKER_01: Us.
- 46:27SPEAKER_03: Cool.
- 46:28SPEAKER_03: Ready for it.
- 46:28SPEAKER_03: Lala throws her dagger.
- 46:30SPEAKER_03: Lala, what the hell?
- 46:32SPEAKER_03: Damn it.
- 46:32SPEAKER_01: Everybody roll initiative.
- 46:34SPEAKER_03: Can we take it to the streets, at least?
- 46:37SPEAKER_01: She already threw her dagger.
- 46:39SPEAKER_00: Jesus Christ, Lala.
- 46:43SPEAKER_00: I don't negotiate with terrorists.
- 46:46SPEAKER_00: No, but you don't want to fight them in your own establishment.
- 46:50SPEAKER_00: We're not in our establishment.
- 46:54SPEAKER_00: Oh no, we went outside?
- 46:58SPEAKER_02: Did hero points reset?
- 47:01SPEAKER_01: When you level up, yeah.
- 47:02SPEAKER_01: Everyone should have taken a long rest also before this.
- 47:06SPEAKER_00: But sorry, just to be clear, where are we?
- 47:11SPEAKER_01: In Obscure Ivory and Company, that Lala's been claiming is her own.
- 47:15SPEAKER_01: Apologies.
- 47:16SPEAKER_01: Apologies.
- 47:17SPEAKER_03: How many hero points you would be at?
- 47:19SPEAKER_03: I, player, would not have done it, but Lala is fucking sad hungry at all times.
- 47:29SPEAKER_00: What kind of dice is that?
- 47:31SPEAKER_00: Oh my.
- 47:32SPEAKER_02: The Lego dice.
- 47:38SPEAKER_00: But we're in Obscure Ivory and Company.
- 47:42SPEAKER_00: Correct.
- 47:43SPEAKER_00: Okay, I apologize.
- 47:45SPEAKER_00: I was a little confused.
- 47:47SPEAKER_01: That is okay.
- 47:49SPEAKER_03: I got a dirty 20 for my critical bite.
- 47:53SPEAKER_02: When she throws the dagger, can I cast Sacred Weapon?
- 47:57SPEAKER_03: On my demon dagger?
- 48:01SPEAKER_01: Make a dexterity check.
- 48:08SPEAKER_02: Dirty 20.
- 48:10SPEAKER_01: Yes, you can.
- 48:11SPEAKER_02: Awesome, so I have a plus four.
- 48:15SPEAKER_01: Is everyone, no, this is not everyone in here.
- 48:20SPEAKER_01: Uh, so... You need to go on there.
- 48:25SPEAKER_01: You need to go on there.
- 48:27SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 48:31SPEAKER_01: Akaida needs to go on here.
- 48:33SPEAKER_01: There's four.
- 48:38SPEAKER_01: And then...
- 48:39SPEAKER_01: Uh, the animals.
- 48:44SPEAKER_01: Thesson.
- 48:46SPEAKER_01: Poppy, Puppyfish.
- 48:52SPEAKER_01: So where, you know, where are you in here?
- 48:54SPEAKER_01: 23.
- 48:55SPEAKER_01: Where are you?
- 48:59SPEAKER_01: Uh, did you roll initiative?
- 49:03SPEAKER_03: Are you asking me?
- 49:05SPEAKER_01: Yes, did you roll initiative?
- 49:07SPEAKER_03: Oh, I did.
- 49:07SPEAKER_03: I'm still using my physical dice just because at this point I f***ing prefer them.
- 49:11SPEAKER_03: It was a dirty 20.
- 49:13SPEAKER_01: Dirty 20, that's right.
- 49:14SPEAKER_01: Okay, so I need to add you to here.
- 49:17SPEAKER_01: At the top of the round,
- 49:19SPEAKER_01: because Teth rolled a natural 20 on his initiative,
- 49:26SPEAKER_01: he will go first in this first round.
- 49:47SPEAKER_02: It's impressive that he only has a plus four.
- 49:50SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 49:53SPEAKER_01: He is going to rush up to you, Joaquim.
- 50:00SPEAKER_01: He's going to get in your face.
- 50:02SPEAKER_03: Wait, how high does he go first?
- 50:05SPEAKER_01: He got a natural 20.
- 50:07SPEAKER_01: Oh.
- 50:08SPEAKER_01: Got his initiative.
- 50:09SPEAKER_01: So the first round he goes first.
- 50:12SPEAKER_01: Gotcha.
- 50:14SPEAKER_01: So you're going to rush up to you, Joaquim.
- 50:17SPEAKER_01: He's just gonna...
- 50:18SPEAKER_01: He's just gonna make an attack roll against you.
- 50:29SPEAKER_01: That would be a 19.
- 50:49SPEAKER_00: I don't think I can do anything.
- 50:52SPEAKER_00: Yep, um...
- 50:57SPEAKER_00: I guess the only thing I can do is Hellish Rebuke.
- 51:03SPEAKER_00: What are you doing?
- 51:05SPEAKER_00: Uh, Hellish Rebuke as a reaction, but yes.
- 51:08SPEAKER_01: So, Dex saving throw?
- 51:11SPEAKER_00: Uh... Come on.
- 51:17SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 51:18SPEAKER_00: We're doing it at first level.
- 51:21SPEAKER_01: So he's going to deal his damage first.
- 51:26SPEAKER_01: So you are going to... Where's my...
- 51:30SPEAKER_01: There it is.
- 51:32SPEAKER_00: Oh, wait, wait, wait.
- 51:33SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry.
- 51:33SPEAKER_00: Hold on.
- 51:34SPEAKER_00: I apologize.
- 51:35SPEAKER_00: I forgot since I had shield.
- 51:37SPEAKER_00: Can I use shield?
- 51:40SPEAKER_00: Sure.
- 51:42SPEAKER_00: So let me have shield.
- 51:45SPEAKER_00: So AC is now 24.
- 51:49SPEAKER_01: You see this gnarled claw coming at you,
- 51:51SPEAKER_01: and right as it gets within, like,
- 51:54SPEAKER_01: a hair's distance, you catch a shield at the last second, and it stops in your face.
- 52:00SPEAKER_00: Like, crap, I almost forgot I had that spell.
- 52:07SPEAKER_01: He, like, snarls in your face, and you see very obvious pointed teeth.
- 52:14SPEAKER_00: What the hell?
- 52:17SPEAKER_00: Are you one of those vamper thingies?
- 52:20SPEAKER_00: Is this a vampire?
- 52:22SPEAKER_01: Let's see if you can do that again, and he makes another strike.
- 52:31SPEAKER_01: Shield's not gonna help you on this one, buddy.
- 52:34SPEAKER_01: No?
- 52:35SPEAKER_01: It's a natural 20.
- 52:38SPEAKER_00: I... Well, okay, but I have adamantine armor.
- 52:43SPEAKER_00: Uh...
- 52:44SPEAKER_00: Yeah, adamantine breastplate, so it's just a...
- 52:47SPEAKER_01: It's a normal hit, but the shield, it still breaks through your shield.
- 52:52SPEAKER_01: How far
- 52:52SPEAKER_02: away is he?
- 52:56SPEAKER_01: Uh, like, ten feet.
- 52:59SPEAKER_01: Like ten feet.
- 53:00SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 53:01SPEAKER_01: Or five, yeah.
- 53:02SPEAKER_01: That's five feet between you, like, ten, five, ten feet.
- 53:06SPEAKER_02: Can I use my reaction to cut... Where is it?
- 53:11SPEAKER_02: To have disadvantage on his attack roll?
- 53:16SPEAKER_01: He's not right next to you.
- 53:19SPEAKER_02: Attack the target other than you within five feet.
- 53:21SPEAKER_02: You said Wakim was five to ten.
- 53:23SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 53:24SPEAKER_01: So he's outside of the first initial five foot range.
- 53:27SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 53:28SPEAKER_01: So no, you cannot.
- 53:28SPEAKER_01: He's just slightly too far away.
- 53:30SPEAKER_01: Within five feet means adjacent.
- 53:37SPEAKER_01: So, but because you're immune to crits, you're only going to take normal damage.
- 53:41SPEAKER_01: However, because the attack hit, he's going to choose to grapple you instead.
- 53:47SPEAKER_00: No!
- 53:49SPEAKER_01: And his hand breaks through your shield, and you watch.
- 53:53SPEAKER_01: All of you would see.
- 53:55SPEAKER_01: You see Hakim put up the shield,
- 53:57SPEAKER_01: and then you see he makes a second strike with another clawed hand,
- 54:01SPEAKER_01: and it breaks through Hakim's shield, and he just grabs him by the throat.
- 54:08SPEAKER_01: He's not choking you, but he is holding you.
- 54:11SPEAKER_00: Get off from me!
- 54:13SPEAKER_01: See, this was just a challenge before, but now it's fun.
- 54:19SPEAKER_01: And he's going to end his turn.
- 54:20SPEAKER_01: Krakka, it's your turn.
- 54:23SPEAKER_03: Alright, so... A Stunning Strike can be used anytime I hit, correct?
- 54:30SPEAKER_03: Correct.
- 54:31SPEAKER_03: So, like,
- 54:31SPEAKER_03: even if I use Furrier Blows and I hit in a Furrier Blows,
- 54:34SPEAKER_03: I can still use Stunning Strike.
- 54:36SPEAKER_03: Alright, so...
- 54:38SPEAKER_03: I'm going to... Run towards this guy.
- 54:45SPEAKER_03: The one right in front of me.
- 54:46SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 54:49SPEAKER_03: I don't know why I couldn't drag my guy,
- 54:50SPEAKER_03: it wouldn't let me, but I'm gonna hit him with thoughts.
- 54:58SPEAKER_01: They didn't let you drag your token?
- 55:01SPEAKER_03: No, it was only the ruler for some odd reason, I don't know.
- 55:04SPEAKER_01: Oh, you might be on the ruler then.
- 55:08SPEAKER_01: You have to switch back to the cursor.
- 55:11SPEAKER_03: Oh, it switches to the ruler when I'm holding Alt to speak.
- 55:15SPEAKER_03: Gotcha.
- 55:17SPEAKER_01: Oh.
- 55:19SPEAKER_01: That makes sense.
- 55:19SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 55:21SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, so you can run up to him and you're going to hit him with thoughts.
- 55:27SPEAKER_03: Ooh.
- 55:28SPEAKER_03: I'm going to use some inspiration for that.
- 55:30SPEAKER_03: I don't like that.
- 55:31SPEAKER_01: Go ahead, re-roll.
- 55:38SPEAKER_03: Um...
- 55:41SPEAKER_03: Hmm.
- 55:44SPEAKER_03: Hero Point?
- 55:46SPEAKER_01: You can add a Hero Point.
- 55:47SPEAKER_03: That's a 6, right?
- 55:50SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 55:53SPEAKER_03: Oh my god, I'm just gonna take a 17.
- 55:57SPEAKER_01: 17 misses.
- 56:00SPEAKER_03: Alright, well.
- 56:05SPEAKER_01: Another strike.
- 56:06SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna run down to this guy.
- 56:11SPEAKER_01: You're going to the other one?
- 56:14SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 56:15SPEAKER_03: I'll smash him with prayers.
- 56:17SPEAKER_01: Go ahead, roll your attack.
- 56:25SPEAKER_03: It's a 22.
- 56:27SPEAKER_01: 22 hits.
- 56:32SPEAKER_03: And then the sneak attack would go on him or no,
- 56:35SPEAKER_03: because it would have been the first guy that I missed.
- 56:38SPEAKER_01: Depends on...
- 56:42SPEAKER_01: It's always a... That's always a thing, isn't it?
- 56:49SPEAKER_01: Nope, it's once per turn, you can deal extra damage to one creature you hit with an attack.
- 56:54SPEAKER_01: So it's not necessarily your first attack.
- 56:57SPEAKER_03: So I can choose when to use it?
- 57:00SPEAKER_01: Correct.
- 57:01SPEAKER_01: Based on that work.
- 57:02SPEAKER_03: Sweet.
- 57:02SPEAKER_03: Well then, I won't use it yet.
- 57:05SPEAKER_03: But I will use Furrier Blows.
- 57:09SPEAKER_01: So he's gonna take this damage.
- 57:13SPEAKER_01: Hey guys,
- 57:14SPEAKER_01: quick reminder to leave a like,
- 57:16SPEAKER_01: a comment, and don't forget to follow or subscribe to us.
- 57:20SPEAKER_01: Thanks!
- 57:23SPEAKER_01: So let me do that and then go ahead and make your Flurry of Blow strikes.
- 57:28SPEAKER_03: With the Flurry of Blows, I'm going to run over and flank the dude that's strangling Yakeem.
- 57:34SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 57:36SPEAKER_03: And I'm going to hit him with Thoughts and Prayers.
- 57:41SPEAKER_01: Go ahead, roll two attack rolls.
- 57:45SPEAKER_01: Wow.
- 57:48SPEAKER_03: I'm going to use two inspirations just because they were both threes.
- 57:54SPEAKER_01: There's one.
- 57:56SPEAKER_01: There's two.
- 57:57SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 57:58SPEAKER_01: Each of those hit.
- 58:01SPEAKER_03: With prayers, I'm going to add a stunning strike.
- 58:07SPEAKER_01: So roll your damage first.
- 58:09SPEAKER_03: And thoughts would be the sneak attack.
- 58:13SPEAKER_01: Okay, yeah, so roll all your damage first.
- 58:19SPEAKER_01: And then a Wisdom saving throw from him.
- 58:23SPEAKER_01: That's a 17.
- 58:26SPEAKER_03: What is it?
- 58:27SPEAKER_03: Is Vine 16?
- 58:30SPEAKER_01: I'm looking at... Where is your Strength Strike?
- 58:33SPEAKER_01: It's down.
- 58:36SPEAKER_01: Oh, Con saving throw.
- 58:37SPEAKER_01: It is 16, but I made the wrong save.
- 58:39SPEAKER_01: Let me roll a Constitution saving throw.
- 58:42SPEAKER_01: That is an 8.
- 58:45SPEAKER_01: He is going to choose to succeed.
- 58:50SPEAKER_03: Does... Yakeem still stay grappled from getting smashed twice?
- 58:59SPEAKER_01: Ah, yes.
- 59:01SPEAKER_01: Because the grapple is not concentration.
- 59:05SPEAKER_03: Gotcha.
- 59:06SPEAKER_03: Okay, well then, that ends my turn because I'll stay here in the flaky position.
- 59:13SPEAKER_01: Yenor, it is your turn.
- 59:16SPEAKER_02: Yenor is going to... Can she squeeze through here without invoking Attack of Opportunity?
- 59:25SPEAKER_01: Yeah, this dude's unconscious on the floor.
- 59:27SPEAKER_01: He's like...
- 59:27SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 59:30SPEAKER_01: He got cold cocked through the door and he's just brawled like dead man.
- 59:36SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 59:37SPEAKER_02: How do I... Switch back to Select.
- 59:40SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 59:40SPEAKER_01: There you go.
- 59:41SPEAKER_02: I need that up too.
- 59:45SPEAKER_02: So right there, Rage for bonus action.
- 59:49SPEAKER_01: So bonus action, Rage, I'm gonna mark you for that.
- 59:55SPEAKER_02: And then I have the plus four to hit from Sacred Weapon.
- 1:00:03SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 1:00:04SPEAKER_02: So I'm gonna smack that guy with Dawnbringer.
- 1:00:09SPEAKER_02: Can I try to aim directly for his arm that's holding Wakim?
- 1:00:13SPEAKER_01: Uh, you can, that adjusts the AC a little bit.
- 1:00:17SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 1:00:19SPEAKER_02: It shouldn't be too much, it's a straight thing, and I'm just...
- 1:00:21SPEAKER_01: Just a little bit.
- 1:00:24SPEAKER_01: Because you're trying not to hit Joaquim.
- 1:00:26SPEAKER_02: That's fair.
- 1:00:28SPEAKER_02: So 27 plus 4, that's a 31.
- 1:00:30SPEAKER_01: That will hit.
- 1:00:31SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 1:00:33SPEAKER_01: Go ahead and roll your damage.
- 1:00:36SPEAKER_02: That is a 9 of Radiant, and then I'm going to Regular Smite.
- 1:00:43SPEAKER_01: Roll your regular smite.
- 1:00:45SPEAKER_02: I always forget what it is.
- 1:00:46SPEAKER_02: Is it 2d6?
- 1:00:48SPEAKER_02: 2d8?
- 1:00:49SPEAKER_01: Should be 2d8, I believe.
- 1:00:52SPEAKER_01: Or smite.
- 1:00:54SPEAKER_02: Divine smite, 2d8.
- 1:01:00SPEAKER_02: So, 13 points of radiant damage.
- 1:01:04SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:01:06SPEAKER_02: And I'm going to hit him again, aiming for the same arm.
- 1:01:11SPEAKER_01: After the first hit, he drops him.
- 1:01:12SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 1:01:13SPEAKER_02: I'm just gonna aim for him then.
- 1:01:15SPEAKER_01: So, Wakim,
- 1:01:16SPEAKER_01: you're no longer grappled by his hand,
- 1:01:19SPEAKER_01: and Yenor's sword is, like, inches from your face.
- 1:01:23SPEAKER_00: So it's just like, thank you.
- 1:01:31SPEAKER_02: Keep in mind, my sword isn't, like, actual metal.
- 1:01:34SPEAKER_02: It's a radiant beam.
- 1:01:36SPEAKER_00: Yes, the beam is the lightsaber.
- 1:01:40SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 1:01:43SPEAKER_00: Near my face.
- 1:01:45SPEAKER_02: So 21 to hit.
- 1:01:46SPEAKER_01: On the second strike?
- 1:01:47SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 1:01:48SPEAKER_01: That one misses.
- 1:01:50SPEAKER_02: Really?
- 1:01:52SPEAKER_02: I thought Krakka had a 21 that hit.
- 1:01:59SPEAKER_01: On him?
- 1:02:00SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:02:01SPEAKER_02: Oh no, 21
- 1:02:02SPEAKER_01: will hit, yes.
- 1:02:03SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 1:02:03SPEAKER_01: No, you had a 21 and a 22.
- 1:02:04SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:02:05SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:02:08SPEAKER_02: Why is Krakka rolling?
- 1:02:10SPEAKER_01: Krakka forgot to add his additional damage.
- 1:02:13SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 1:02:17SPEAKER_02: When he's done, I'll go.
- 1:02:19SPEAKER_03: Done.
- 1:02:22SPEAKER_01: So... Did he get hit four times?
- 1:02:25SPEAKER_01: Did you hit him four times?
- 1:02:27SPEAKER_03: Well, for each attack.
- 1:02:28SPEAKER_03: For the first two guys and then him double.
- 1:02:32SPEAKER_03: Because I hit them all with thoughts and prayers.
- 1:02:38SPEAKER_01: So you missed the first guy.
- 1:02:40SPEAKER_03: Oh, that's right.
- 1:02:40SPEAKER_03: So then that would be this eighth psychic.
- 1:02:43SPEAKER_01: It's the second, yeah.
- 1:02:46SPEAKER_01: But I'll add the rest of it.
- 1:02:47SPEAKER_01: So that one, and then the last guy takes an additional seven.
- 1:02:53SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:02:55SPEAKER_01: Uh, you can continue.
- 1:02:59SPEAKER_02: Does the 21 hit?
- 1:03:00SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 1:03:00SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 1:03:06SPEAKER_02: A nine again.
- 1:03:07SPEAKER_02: Um, Divine Spite.
- 1:03:12SPEAKER_02: Does he look hurt or no?
- 1:03:16SPEAKER_02: Does he still have the cocky smile on his face?
- 1:03:18SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 1:03:20SPEAKER_01: He looks a little irritated though now.
- 1:03:25SPEAKER_02: Yeah, Divine Smite at the second level.
- 1:03:28SPEAKER_01: Alright.
- 1:03:28SPEAKER_02: So that's an extra D8?
- 1:03:30SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so it's 3D8.
- 1:03:33SPEAKER_02: Uh, 15.
- 1:03:35SPEAKER_02: So that's 26, no, 24 Radiant.
- 1:03:41SPEAKER_02: If I can do math right.
- 1:03:43SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:03:45SPEAKER_02: And she's just going to have the biggest shit-eating grin on her face.
- 1:03:50SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:03:51SPEAKER_01: What are you... Are you doing anything else?
- 1:03:55SPEAKER_02: Alright, that was action and bonus action.
- 1:04:00SPEAKER_02: I can't move.
- 1:04:02SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no, I'll just stay here.
- 1:04:04SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 1:04:06SPEAKER_01: The end of your turn.
- 1:04:08SPEAKER_01: He is going to swing around and make a strike at you, Yanor.
- 1:04:18SPEAKER_01: That's a 23.
- 1:04:20SPEAKER_02: Misses.
- 1:04:26SPEAKER_01: His claws,
- 1:04:29SPEAKER_01: you deflect them with your shield,
- 1:04:31SPEAKER_01: but you hear the scrape and it jolts you off balance for a second.
- 1:04:39SPEAKER_02: Oh, you can't hit harder than that?
- 1:04:43SPEAKER_01: Uh, what are you telling Poppy to do?
- 1:04:46SPEAKER_02: To stay out of it.
- 1:04:48SPEAKER_01: And Thessen, he's on your shoulder.
- 1:04:55SPEAKER_02: Just to hide in my hair.
- 1:04:57SPEAKER_01: So Poppy's gonna stay, Poppy's actually gonna go back behind Kaida.
- 1:05:03SPEAKER_01: Cause she knows what stay out of it means.
- 1:05:05SPEAKER_02: Smart.
- 1:05:07SPEAKER_01: Bethan's just gonna chill where he is.
- 1:05:11SPEAKER_01: It's not one of his friends' turns.
- 1:05:15SPEAKER_01: So this guy is going to run up to this side of both you, Yanor, and you, Kraka.
- 1:05:26SPEAKER_01: He pulls out a pair of Morningstars off his belt.
- 1:05:35SPEAKER_01: Krakka, he's gonna take a swing at you for 25.
- 1:05:37SPEAKER_01: 25 hits, I believe, for Krakka.
- 1:05:42SPEAKER_01: Krakka, you take 16 points of...
- 1:05:50SPEAKER_01: There's a Morningstar.
- 1:05:53SPEAKER_01: Bludgeoning damage.
- 1:05:57SPEAKER_01: I don't know if you're talking, but we cannot hear you.
- 1:06:01SPEAKER_01: It's there on his sheet in case something happened.
- 1:06:07SPEAKER_01: And then he's gonna whip around and he's gonna smack, attempt to smack you, Yanor.
- 1:06:14SPEAKER_01: That is a 29.
- 1:06:17SPEAKER_02: That does hit.
- 1:06:20SPEAKER_01: So you will take... 13 points of bludgeoning damage.
- 1:06:29SPEAKER_01: And then he is going to...
- 1:06:34SPEAKER_01: He's going to aim for you again, Yenor.
- 1:06:36SPEAKER_01: As he brings the one down,
- 1:06:37SPEAKER_01: he's going to bring the other one that was hitting Krakka down on you.
- 1:06:42SPEAKER_01: That's a 29 again.
- 1:06:45SPEAKER_02: That hits.
- 1:06:47SPEAKER_01: He's rolling high.
- 1:06:49SPEAKER_01: However, he only does 12 points of damage this time.
- 1:06:55SPEAKER_01: So how much was his movement speed?
- 1:07:01SPEAKER_01: He is going to disengage.
- 1:07:04SPEAKER_01: Leap back here to his friend.
- 1:07:07SPEAKER_01: La la, it is your turn.
- 1:07:11SPEAKER_03: Hooray.
- 1:07:11SPEAKER_03: Did
- 1:07:17SPEAKER_03: I allow it to get any damage from the initial...
- 1:07:22SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, because you threw your dagger to open it up.
- 1:07:25SPEAKER_01: So yeah, we'll do that first.
- 1:07:26SPEAKER_01: Go ahead and roll an attack roll with your dagger.
- 1:07:28SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:07:34SPEAKER_01: And you were aiming at the main guy, correct?
- 1:07:37SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 1:07:38SPEAKER_03: That is a 12 plus 11.
- 1:07:43SPEAKER_03: 22... 23.
- 1:07:45SPEAKER_03: 23?
- 1:07:45SPEAKER_03: 23 hits, so go
- 1:07:46SPEAKER_01: ahead and roll your damage.
- 1:07:49SPEAKER_03: Yay!
- 1:07:53SPEAKER_01: This is her opening strike that she did before anyone could continue negotiating.
- 1:07:58SPEAKER_03: D4 is 2...
- 1:08:01SPEAKER_03: Plus 7, 8, 9, do I get Sneak Attack?
- 1:08:04SPEAKER_03: I suspect he wasn't expecting it.
- 1:08:06SPEAKER_01: Uh, yeah,
- 1:08:07SPEAKER_01: at the beginning,
- 1:08:08SPEAKER_01: right at the top,
- 1:08:09SPEAKER_01: yeah, you would, because it would have been right before combat started.
- 1:08:12SPEAKER_01: 5, 6,
- 1:08:16SPEAKER_03: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 19, 20, 21 total.
- 1:08:23SPEAKER_03: Damage?
- 1:08:30SPEAKER_03: Yeah, uh, no.
- 1:08:31SPEAKER_03: Well, uh, for a sneak attack.
- 1:08:33SPEAKER_03: 21 total sneak attack, and then whatever I said for the initial damage?
- 1:08:39SPEAKER_03: I think it was nine.
- 1:08:40SPEAKER_01: Nine, okay.
- 1:08:42SPEAKER_01: We'll go with that.
- 1:08:44SPEAKER_03: Yes, it was nine.
- 1:08:45SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 1:08:48SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 1:08:49SPEAKER_01: And now it's your turn.
- 1:08:50SPEAKER_01: He is looking...
- 1:08:56SPEAKER_03: This thing is in the way.
- 1:08:58SPEAKER_03: Go away.
- 1:09:01SPEAKER_03: Yeah, we will continue to hit the one that's in front of Joaquin.
- 1:09:06SPEAKER_03: Again.
- 1:09:08SPEAKER_01: So go ahead and roll your attack.
- 1:09:11SPEAKER_03: So 10 plus 11 is 21.
- 1:09:16SPEAKER_03: And I think that's not enough.
- 1:09:18SPEAKER_03: Oh, it is.
- 1:09:19SPEAKER_03: Never mind.
- 1:09:22SPEAKER_01: Right on the cusp.
- 1:09:24SPEAKER_03: Awesome.
- 1:09:27SPEAKER_03: That's a 9 for regular damage again.
- 1:09:31SPEAKER_03: Because this is technically a new turn, do I get to do Sneak Attack again?
- 1:09:34SPEAKER_01: Yes, I would give it to you again.
- 1:09:36SPEAKER_03: Heck yeah!
- 1:09:38SPEAKER_03: Five.
- 1:09:42SPEAKER_03: Seven.
- 1:09:47SPEAKER_03: Eight.
- 1:09:48SPEAKER_03: 14, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19.
- 1:09:49SPEAKER_03: 19.
- 1:09:50SPEAKER_03: Less than nine.
- 1:09:51SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 1:09:55SPEAKER_03: And... Oh, bonus action boot click.
- 1:10:01SPEAKER_03: So, more attacks.
- 1:10:02SPEAKER_01: Hey, Marcia, you are hasted, and you get one more.
- 1:10:05SPEAKER_01: No, you don't get one more.
- 1:10:07SPEAKER_03: Oh.
- 1:10:08SPEAKER_03: Next round.
- 1:10:09SPEAKER_03: Next round!
- 1:10:11SPEAKER_01: Okay, that's okay.
- 1:10:13SPEAKER_03: I don't think I need to move anywhere.
- 1:10:15SPEAKER_03: I think I'm good.
- 1:10:16SPEAKER_03: So, yeah.
- 1:10:17SPEAKER_03: We'll call it there.
- 1:10:19SPEAKER_01: Are you telling Puppyfish to do anything in particular?
- 1:10:23SPEAKER_03: When Puppyfish learns to do literally anything, I will say yes.
- 1:10:27SPEAKER_03: But he is still...
- 1:10:29SPEAKER_03: Puppy fish who can barely even bite an ankle.
- 1:10:33SPEAKER_03: So, go hide.
- 1:10:35SPEAKER_01: He's gonna hang out back where he is.
- 1:10:39SPEAKER_01: It's the other guy's turn that he came in here with.
- 1:10:43SPEAKER_01: So this other guy... Let's see... Is gonna move...
- 1:10:55SPEAKER_01: Here...
- 1:10:57SPEAKER_01: And then Bonus Action Charge, Gael Verna.
- 1:11:03SPEAKER_01: Gonna do Contested Athletics check.
- 1:11:08SPEAKER_01: So I'll roll for both of them.
- 1:11:10SPEAKER_01: Bad on both parts, but hers was worse.
- 1:11:14SPEAKER_01: She is grappled.
- 1:11:16SPEAKER_01: He rushed up to her.
- 1:11:19SPEAKER_01: And Deedle Mala, you would see this the most.
- 1:11:24SPEAKER_01: He grabs her.
- 1:11:25SPEAKER_01: Like, around...
- 1:11:28SPEAKER_01: The chest, across the chest, and he's got his greatsword out up.
- 1:11:33SPEAKER_01: That's the end of his turn.
- 1:11:37SPEAKER_01: Let me see.
- 1:11:40SPEAKER_01: Hakeem, it's your turn.
- 1:11:42SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 1:11:43SPEAKER_00: Since this dude is right in front of me, let's go attack him.
- 1:11:53SPEAKER_00: I've manifested my Pact Weapon, so my Gravesword.
- 1:12:03SPEAKER_00: Using the Illusionist Bracers, I am going to bonus action double cast
- 1:12:16SPEAKER_00: Charged Blade.
- 1:12:18SPEAKER_01: Ooh.
- 1:12:21SPEAKER_01: That's a good one.
- 1:12:24SPEAKER_00: So I need to make attack rolls.
- 1:12:29SPEAKER_00: So let's do this first one.
- 1:12:32SPEAKER_00: Oh, I'm going to Inspiration that.
- 1:12:38SPEAKER_00: That's a three.
- 1:12:40SPEAKER_00: That's a three.
- 1:12:43SPEAKER_00: Nope.
- 1:12:51SPEAKER_00: I don't know why I didn't need to do that.
- 1:12:54SPEAKER_00: Sorry.
- 1:12:57SPEAKER_00: I'm doing my greatsword again.
- 1:13:00SPEAKER_00: Oh!
- 1:13:03SPEAKER_00: A three again.
- 1:13:07SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 1:13:11SPEAKER_00: I can't Inspiration that again, can I?
- 1:13:13SPEAKER_01: You could.
- 1:13:15SPEAKER_00: I'm going to Inspiration that again.
- 1:13:19SPEAKER_00: That's a three.
- 1:13:23SPEAKER_00: Again.
- 1:13:25SPEAKER_00: If I get a three a third time, I'm just going to have to accept it.
- 1:13:31SPEAKER_00: That's not a three.
- 1:13:33SPEAKER_00: That's a 25.
- 1:13:35SPEAKER_00: 25 hits.
- 1:13:36SPEAKER_00: Go ahead, roll your damage.
- 1:13:38SPEAKER_00: Do you want me to roll the second attack as well?
- 1:13:42SPEAKER_00: Beforehand, or do you want me to get the damage?
- 1:13:44SPEAKER_01: Roll the damage first.
- 1:13:46SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:13:46SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:13:47SPEAKER_00: Uh, so damage from the greatsword...
- 1:13:51SPEAKER_01: Um, you get one of those inspirations back.
- 1:13:54SPEAKER_00: I do?
- 1:13:55SPEAKER_01: You have advantage.
- 1:13:59SPEAKER_00: How so?
- 1:14:00SPEAKER_01: You're flanking.
- 1:14:02SPEAKER_00: Oh.
- 1:14:04SPEAKER_00: Okay, thank you.
- 1:14:06SPEAKER_00: Um, so that's 13 slashing damage.
- 1:14:13SPEAKER_01: Is your summon to greatsword considered magical?
- 1:14:17SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 1:14:18SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:14:21SPEAKER_01: He is very hurt.
- 1:14:27SPEAKER_00: Are we going by old rules where we can Divine Smite?
- 1:14:33Yeah.
- 1:14:35SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 1:14:37SPEAKER_00: I'm going to Divine Smite on that hit.
- 1:14:42SPEAKER_00: Uh, so let me do, uh, I'll spend a first level spell slot, uh, to use 2H.
- 1:14:54SPEAKER_01: Um, click the button right here.
- 1:14:58SPEAKER_01: Hey guys,
- 1:14:59SPEAKER_01: quick reminder to leave a like,
- 1:15:01SPEAKER_01: a comment, and don't forget to follow or subscribe to us.
- 1:15:05SPEAKER_00: Thanks!
- 1:15:08SPEAKER_00: 14 Radiant, that's good Radiant damage.
- 1:15:12SPEAKER_00: And then... Charged Blade.
- 1:15:17SPEAKER_00: What is that?
- 1:15:23SPEAKER_00: So do I do 2d8 now or 2d8 if he doesn't move?
- 1:15:32SPEAKER_01: 2d8 if he doesn't move.
- 1:15:34SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:15:38SPEAKER_01: He's extremely hurt.
- 1:15:41SPEAKER_00: It looks like it's on.
- 1:15:41SPEAKER_00: It says, the spell's damage increases when you reach higher levels.
- 1:15:46SPEAKER_00: At 5th level, the melee attack deals with extra D-lightning damage to the target.
- 1:15:51SPEAKER_00: And the damage to the target takes a D-8 lightning damage now.
- 1:15:58SPEAKER_00: Is that right?
- 1:16:01SPEAKER_01: Let me look at...
- 1:16:06SPEAKER_01: It should be in your list here somewhere.
- 1:16:10SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm looking at it in my spells.
- 1:16:13SPEAKER_01: Yeah, sometimes it'll tell you in your actions.
- 1:16:18SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay.
- 1:16:20SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so this is from your Warlock, right?
- 1:16:25SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 1:16:26SPEAKER_00: Oh, so he takes 2d8 now and then 3d8 if he moves.
- 1:16:32SPEAKER_00: Or if he doesn't move.
- 1:16:33SPEAKER_01: Yes, so you deal 1d8 immediately and then it takes 2d8 if it ends its turn within
- 1:16:37SPEAKER_01: the spell's range.
- 1:17:03SPEAKER_00: But I'm looking at it in my actions, it says 2d8 and then 3d8.
- 1:17:10SPEAKER_00: Is that because it's at 5th level or higher?
- 1:17:20SPEAKER_01: Oh, that is odd.
- 1:17:22SPEAKER_01: I guess.
- 1:17:23SPEAKER_01: Is it 1d8 on both?
- 1:17:25SPEAKER_01: That wording is odd.
- 1:17:27SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:17:32SPEAKER_01: So that would be correct.
- 1:17:33SPEAKER_01: That's what I was looking for was how it was calculating it.
- 1:17:36SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 1:17:38SPEAKER_01: So 2d8 now, and then 3d8 if he doesn't
- 1:17:40SPEAKER_00: move.
- 1:17:41SPEAKER_00: 2d8 coming your way.
- 1:17:44SPEAKER_00: This is lightning.
- 1:17:47SPEAKER_01: He turns into a puff of mist.
- 1:17:54SPEAKER_00: Huh.
- 1:17:57SPEAKER_00: Dude was talking to big games.
- 1:18:00SPEAKER_00: Uh, I am gonna turn around.
- 1:18:08SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:18:08SPEAKER_00: We'll, uh, we'll move to the lady.
- 1:18:14SPEAKER_00: Or to this dude.
- 1:18:18SPEAKER_00: Uh... You.
- 1:18:21SPEAKER_01: Huh?
- 1:18:24SPEAKER_01: Is your blade considered sunlight?
- 1:18:27SPEAKER_01: You know, or... No.
- 1:18:28SPEAKER_00: Oh, hers is.
- 1:18:29SPEAKER_00: I think Dawnbreaker?
- 1:18:34SPEAKER_01: Dawnbringer.
- 1:18:35SPEAKER_01: Dawnbringer.
- 1:18:42SPEAKER_02: Cure Radiance.
- 1:18:45SPEAKER_01: Not Sunlight.
- 1:18:47SPEAKER_01: Oh, not Sunlight.
- 1:18:48SPEAKER_00: Dammit.
- 1:18:50SPEAKER_01: So he is the Puff of Man.
- 1:18:54SPEAKER_00: Should I continue?
- 1:18:56SPEAKER_01: Yes, you can continue.
- 1:18:59SPEAKER_00: Um, so yeah, then I move over here.
- 1:19:01SPEAKER_00: I, would I be flanking with, uh, Gale better?
- 1:19:09SPEAKER_01: Yes, but she's grappled.
- 1:19:11SPEAKER_00: Do I get advantage on my attack?
- 1:19:17SPEAKER_01: She's not threatening him, so I would say no.
- 1:19:20SPEAKER_01: Okay, no problem.
- 1:19:22SPEAKER_00: Uh, I will still attack this guy.
- 1:19:27SPEAKER_00: And I do have luck.
- 1:19:31SPEAKER_00: So I'm going to spend a luck to roll this attack at advantage.
- 1:19:36SPEAKER_00: Go ahead.
- 1:19:41SPEAKER_00: I didn't mean to...
- 1:19:43SPEAKER_00: I was trying to roll with advantage, but...
- 1:19:47SPEAKER_00: I mean, let me just roll one more and see if I get a natural 10.
- 1:19:52SPEAKER_00: And that's not a natural 10.
- 1:19:55SPEAKER_00: So...
- 1:19:57SPEAKER_00: 29?
- 1:19:57SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the 29 hits.
- 1:19:59SPEAKER_01: Go ahead, roll damage.
- 1:20:01SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 1:20:02SPEAKER_00: 2d6 slashing.
- 1:20:09SPEAKER_00: That's good slashing.
- 1:20:13SPEAKER_00: And then we'll do the same thing here.
- 1:20:16SPEAKER_00: So it is a charged blade because we're doing the bonus action.
- 1:20:22SPEAKER_00: So 2d8 now.
- 1:20:28SPEAKER_00: That's good.
- 1:20:31SPEAKER_00: And we're going to also... We're going to level 2 smite here.
- 1:20:40SPEAKER_00: 3d8?
- 1:20:43SPEAKER_00: 3d8.
- 1:20:46SPEAKER_00: I just got to roll up here.
- 1:20:48SPEAKER_00: Rolling.
- 1:20:54SPEAKER_00: And poop.
- 1:20:56SPEAKER_00: 6 additional.
- 1:20:59SPEAKER_00: But I think that is all the bells and whistles.
- 1:21:04SPEAKER_00: And then I guess I got my shadow.
- 1:21:14SPEAKER_00: And the shadow will...
- 1:21:20SPEAKER_00: Let me try and shade glare this guy.
- 1:21:25SPEAKER_01: Wisdom?
- 1:21:27SPEAKER_00: Wisdom.
- 1:21:29SPEAKER_01: The 17.
- 1:21:32SPEAKER_00: Needs it, needs it.
- 1:21:35SPEAKER_00: In which case,
- 1:21:39SPEAKER_00: I will have the Shadow
- 1:21:46SPEAKER_00: bonus action Shade Warp with Joachim.
- 1:21:53SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:21:54SPEAKER_01: Watch that switch.
- 1:21:56SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 1:21:57SPEAKER_00: So they'll swap
- 1:22:01SPEAKER_01: Didn't you use your bonus action for your, oh no, the shadow's bonus action.
- 1:22:05SPEAKER_00: Yup.
- 1:22:06SPEAKER_01: Yup.
- 1:22:07SPEAKER_00: And then, uh, we got one more attack.
- 1:22:11SPEAKER_00: So let's try...
- 1:22:17SPEAKER_00: Let's try to shade whip, uh, this guy.
- 1:22:24SPEAKER_01: Save.
- 1:22:24SPEAKER_00: Uh, 16.
- 1:22:26SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:22:27SPEAKER_01: 17.
- 1:22:34SPEAKER_00: That's 21.
- 1:22:35SPEAKER_00: That's all I can do.
- 1:22:37SPEAKER_00: I end my turn.
- 1:22:41SPEAKER_01: Beedle, it is your turn.
- 1:22:47SPEAKER_03: Okay, I'm gonna rage.
- 1:22:51SPEAKER_01: Raging.
- 1:22:53SPEAKER_03: Raging.
- 1:22:58SPEAKER_00: Did I not do any damage to this guy?
- 1:23:02SPEAKER_00: Which guy?
- 1:23:03SPEAKER_00: This guy?
- 1:23:05SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:23:06SPEAKER_00: Oh man, he's like not hurt at all.
- 1:23:08SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 1:23:10SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna go after this guy.
- 1:23:16SPEAKER_01: He's a man.
- 1:23:17SPEAKER_01: You shouldn't be able to see him.
- 1:23:19SPEAKER_03: Oh.
- 1:23:21SPEAKER_03: Alright.
- 1:23:22SPEAKER_03: This guy is pretty close.
- 1:23:24SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna go after this guy then.
- 1:23:29SPEAKER_01: I don't know why you can still see him.
- 1:23:31SPEAKER_01: Alright.
- 1:23:32SPEAKER_01: Ah yeah, you can go after him.
- 1:23:36SPEAKER_03: The Warrag.
- 1:23:43SPEAKER_03: 24.
- 1:23:46SPEAKER_01: Where's the plus two coming from?
- 1:23:49SPEAKER_00: We still haven't been able to figure that out yet.
- 1:23:53SPEAKER_01: So that would be 22.
- 1:23:55SPEAKER_01: Still hit.
- 1:24:00SPEAKER_01: So that would be... 14.
- 1:24:03SPEAKER_01: Because you get the plus 4 for Rage.
- 1:24:06SPEAKER_03: Mm-hmm.
- 1:24:09SPEAKER_01: How's he holding up?
- 1:24:12SPEAKER_01: He looks a little irritated.
- 1:24:15SPEAKER_01: Fuck him.
- 1:24:16SPEAKER_01: Can I hit him again?
- 1:24:17SPEAKER_01: Go ahead, roll.
- 1:24:21SPEAKER_01: Same exact roll.
- 1:24:24SPEAKER_01: That's 20 points of damage.
- 1:24:28SPEAKER_01: Alright.
- 1:24:29SPEAKER_01: Are you doing anything else?
- 1:24:31SPEAKER_03: Well, that's all I can do.
- 1:24:32SPEAKER_01: Alright, alright.
- 1:24:36SPEAKER_01: I think we've proven ourselves in this combat.
- 1:24:38SPEAKER_01: It's Kai's turn, she's talking.
- 1:24:41SPEAKER_01: The dude that you guys were with is a mist.
- 1:24:46SPEAKER_01: Now.
- 1:24:48SPEAKER_01: He, you're hurt.
- 1:24:49SPEAKER_01: I don't know what your buddy's gonna do when you go down and he doesn't have any backup.
- 1:24:56SPEAKER_01: Can we, are the rest of you good if we talk about this like civilized people?
- 1:25:03SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 1:25:04SPEAKER_02: I think I can beat
- 1:25:05SPEAKER_03: the mist.
- 1:25:11SPEAKER_00: I would love the opportunity to just talk
- 1:25:19SPEAKER_00: and not beat up mist because you can't do that.
- 1:25:22No.
- 1:25:26SPEAKER_03: My dagger is sheathed.
- 1:25:28SPEAKER_03: As for you, I'll stop threatening our shit.
- 1:25:34SPEAKER_00: Any thoughts?
- 1:25:35SPEAKER_00: I'm still just sitting here.
- 1:25:39SPEAKER_01: Any thoughts from you, Krakka, or Deedle?
- 1:25:43SPEAKER_01: Would you prefer to continue throwing punches, or are we open to a civilized conversation now?
- 1:26:02SPEAKER_03: Once they lay down their arms, I'll lay down mine.
- 1:26:07SPEAKER_01: What say you two?
- 1:26:08SPEAKER_01: I see the one guy begrudgingly lets go of Miss Farina.
- 1:26:17SPEAKER_01: It says,
- 1:26:18SPEAKER_01: alright,
- 1:26:18SPEAKER_01: and he sheathes his sword,
- 1:26:20SPEAKER_01: and the other guy just kind of hooks his morning stars on his belt.
- 1:26:28SPEAKER_03: I guess the trial by combat has...
- 1:26:34SPEAKER_03: Done well.
- 1:26:47SPEAKER_01: Let us have a civilized conversation then, shall we?
- 1:26:55SPEAKER_00: Is that mist still sitting?
- 1:26:57SPEAKER_01: It's just still kind of hanging out, yeah.
- 1:27:01SPEAKER_00: That counts.
- 1:27:02SPEAKER_00: I mean, Joaquin kind of tries to Wafted away with his hand.
- 1:27:09SPEAKER_01: Feels like a mask, but in mist form.
- 1:27:14SPEAKER_01: But as we transition to a pause in the festivities,
- 1:27:21SPEAKER_01: we are going to take a quick break and we will come back momentarily.
- 1:27:34SPEAKER_00: Although it's weird that this mist is still sitting here.
- 1:27:37SPEAKER_00: Lala, do something.
- 1:27:38SPEAKER_00: You got mist in your house now.
- 1:27:41SPEAKER_01: I didn't realize we hit.
- 1:27:43SPEAKER_01: We're almost at 1030 already, but we got to take a quick break and get up for a second.
- 1:27:49SPEAKER_01: Then we'll be right back.
- 1:27:50SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 1:27:51SPEAKER_00: Oh, hi.
- 1:27:58SPEAKER_01: Nice to see you there.
- 1:28:00SPEAKER_01: Thanks for stopping by and enjoying the show.

- 1:28:06SPEAKER_01: Spread the fun by sharing with your friends.
- 1:28:08SPEAKER_01: We're sure they'll have a good time.
- 1:28:11SPEAKER_01: You can also help us by heading over to our Substack
- 1:28:13SPEAKER_01: at chaoticallybalanced.com forward slash support linked in the description below
- 1:28:19SPEAKER_01: and seeing what exclusive content is available to you.
- 1:28:23SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 1:28:24SPEAKER_01: It's time to get back into the adventure.
- 1:28:29SPEAKER_01: We are back.
- 1:28:33SPEAKER_01: We left off at the end of combat where
- 1:28:38SPEAKER_01: secondhand souls took out the supposed leader
- 1:28:41SPEAKER_01: of this trio while
- 1:28:45SPEAKER_01: one of the trio tried to rush for Miss Verna.
- 1:28:52SPEAKER_01: However, upon taking some blows and
- 1:29:00SPEAKER_01: Seeing that they were outmatched,
- 1:29:02SPEAKER_01: the surviving individuals decided to
- 1:29:07SPEAKER_01: accept Kaida's offer of parlay.
- 1:29:13SPEAKER_01: At the present moment, combat is paused.
- 1:29:21SPEAKER_01: Who would like to attempt to parlay
- 1:29:28SPEAKER_01: with these individuals?
- 1:29:32SPEAKER_00: I feel like this may just be a stall tactic, but we'll see.
- 1:29:59SPEAKER_02: Do I get any feelings from the mist?
- 1:30:03SPEAKER_02: Can I insight check the mist?
- 1:30:09SPEAKER_01: I mean, you could if you would like.
- 1:30:11SPEAKER_02: Can you roll it for me?
- 1:30:13SPEAKER_02: I have a cat.
- 1:30:16SPEAKER_01: Let's see.
- 1:30:19SPEAKER_01: Go up here.
- 1:30:21SPEAKER_01: You get insight on advantage.
- 1:30:26SPEAKER_01: You rolled a 12.
- 1:30:28SPEAKER_02: Can you inspiration that?
- 1:30:38SPEAKER_02: Well, that's better.
- 1:30:39SPEAKER_01: That's 22.
- 1:30:43SPEAKER_01: The mist is misty.
- 1:30:46SPEAKER_02: Do I know anything about vampires or no?
- 1:30:49SPEAKER_01: You can make a history check.
- 1:30:52SPEAKER_02: Yeah, do that.
- 1:30:55SPEAKER_02: Although that's awful.
- 1:31:00SPEAKER_02: 15.
- 1:31:01SPEAKER_02: We did just fight one.
- 1:31:04SPEAKER_01: Undead.
- 1:31:06SPEAKER_02: Yeah, my spell told me that.
- 1:31:10SPEAKER_01: The more powerful ones can
- 1:31:16SPEAKER_01: turn into mist to escape danger.
- 1:31:20SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 1:31:25SPEAKER_01: So, that's probably what this is.
- 1:31:29SPEAKER_02: He's just being a bitch.
- 1:31:31SPEAKER_02: Got it.
- 1:31:34SPEAKER_02: I'm sorry.
- 1:31:35SPEAKER_02: What are
- 1:31:48SPEAKER_00: you?
- 1:31:48SPEAKER_00: What are you doing?
- 1:31:51SPEAKER_00: You're asking what am I doing?
- 1:31:57SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:31:59SPEAKER_01: You asked Yonora a question, she didn't say check the mist, you know.
- 1:32:03SPEAKER_00: Just keep an eye on it.
- 1:32:07SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I will then,
- 1:32:09SPEAKER_00: I'm not getting rid of my weapon yet because this all still feels kind of weird,
- 1:32:14SPEAKER_00: but I will hold it at my side.
- 1:32:18SPEAKER_00: I will call my shadow to me, but not dismiss it, and I'll say,
- 1:32:26SPEAKER_00: you barged in here?
- 1:32:29SPEAKER_00: Now you want to talk?
- 1:32:31SPEAKER_00: Talk.
- 1:32:36SPEAKER_01: The deal was, well,
- 1:32:38SPEAKER_01: the deal that our Misty friend here made was that we'd set up an appointment
- 1:32:44SPEAKER_01: with our client if you proved yourselves in combat.
- 1:32:55SPEAKER_01: Is that still the deal that you would like to take?
- 1:33:00SPEAKER_00: Sure.
- 1:33:01SPEAKER_00: Is there anything that you can tell us about your client before we meet them?
- 1:33:07SPEAKER_01: Oh.
- 1:33:07SPEAKER_01: What
- 1:33:15SPEAKER_00: are your names again?
- 1:33:17SPEAKER_01: What is the name of your group?
- 1:33:19SPEAKER_00: It'll be the second-hand song.
- 1:33:24SPEAKER_00: Patent pending.
- 1:33:27SPEAKER_01: So...
- 1:33:37SPEAKER_01: I'm not sure if our client's gonna be keen on meeting you.
- 1:33:41SPEAKER_00: Why is that?
- 1:33:48SPEAKER_00: Well...
- 1:33:57SPEAKER_01: Let's just say we work for a certain individual
- 1:34:06SPEAKER_01: Who is
- 1:34:09SPEAKER_01: higher up in the ranks of a certain syndicate.
- 1:34:19SPEAKER_03: I mean, we could just continue the test and just leave all three of your bodies out front.
- 1:34:24SPEAKER_00: Kraka, you too?
- 1:34:28SPEAKER_00: Get punch drunk over here?
- 1:34:29SPEAKER_00: What's going on?
- 1:34:31SPEAKER_03: Well, we...
- 1:34:33SPEAKER_03: We took the test.
- 1:34:34SPEAKER_03: We came to a spot where we're like, hey, we passed.
- 1:34:37SPEAKER_03: And now we're saying that we're still not worthy.
- 1:34:40SPEAKER_03: Well, then what else do we got to show to prove our wealth or worth?
- 1:34:45SPEAKER_03: I mean, sorry.
- 1:34:47SPEAKER_02: Their boss won't want
- 1:34:51SPEAKER_02: to meet with us because we kidnapped his son and turned him into the cops.
- 1:34:56SPEAKER_01: Oh, no, no, no, it's not.
- 1:35:00SPEAKER_01: It's it's.
- 1:35:02SPEAKER_01: It's not the head haunt.
- 1:35:08SPEAKER_03: How do you know that was us?
- 1:35:13SPEAKER_03: It could have been anybody.
- 1:35:18SPEAKER_03: We just got here like a couple days ago.
- 1:35:21SPEAKER_03: Looking for a business opportunity.
- 1:35:23SPEAKER_03: That's why we came here to purchase a building.
- 1:35:26SPEAKER_02: Does he work on the council?
- 1:35:33SPEAKER_01: He said he works for someone that's high up in the Syndicate.
- 1:35:35SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he won't meet with us.
- 1:35:37SPEAKER_02: Is it because he's also on the Council?
- 1:35:42SPEAKER_01: Unaware of someone being on the Council and working for the Syndicate.
- 1:35:49SPEAKER_02: I think he's telling the truth.
- 1:35:52SPEAKER_01: There.
- 1:35:58SPEAKER_00: Why won't they meet us?
- 1:35:59SPEAKER_00: We're essentially a neutral party.
- 1:36:04SPEAKER_01: You're wanted for a lot of things.
- 1:36:09SPEAKER_03: You're wanted for a lot of things.
- 1:36:12SPEAKER_03: As is your boss.
- 1:36:14SPEAKER_03: Correction, we were wanted for a lot of things.
- 1:36:18SPEAKER_01: We were falsely accused there.
- 1:36:21SPEAKER_01: So we checked the bounty boards this morning and your bounties are still out there.
- 1:36:28SPEAKER_00: Counties for what exactly?
- 1:36:30SPEAKER_03: What are we being accused of?
- 1:36:32SPEAKER_03: You heard what he said falsely, falsely accused.
- 1:36:41SPEAKER_01: Regardless of accused or not, our current mark is not you all.
- 1:36:55SPEAKER_01: Mr.
- 1:37:02SPEAKER_01: Elanathino
- 1:37:06SPEAKER_01: would probably not meet with you.
- 1:37:11SPEAKER_03: You damn well better not expect us to repeat that name ever.
- 1:37:26SPEAKER_00: If he won't meet with us,
- 1:37:27SPEAKER_00: then, I mean, again, I don't really know what there is to talk about here.
- 1:37:37SPEAKER_00: And Joaquin kind of twirls, spins his greatsword.
- 1:37:47SPEAKER_00: You're losing out on an opportunity to parlay, friend.
- 1:37:58SPEAKER_01: Here's the deal.
- 1:38:03SPEAKER_01: We'll take our Misty friend back for the time being
- 1:38:11SPEAKER_01: and we won't come to collect
- 1:38:16SPEAKER_01: for
- 1:38:16SPEAKER_01: the moment
- 1:38:19SPEAKER_01: and we'll speak with our client
- 1:38:25SPEAKER_01: and see how he would like to proceed.
- 1:38:33SPEAKER_00: That works for me.
- 1:38:35SPEAKER_00: Cooler heads will prevail.
- 1:38:45SPEAKER_01: I suggest you get some better security at this establishment.
- 1:38:53SPEAKER_00: I look down at the Goliaths and then I look back at this guy and I, again,
- 1:38:58SPEAKER_00: I kind of flip my great sword onto my shoulder and I say,
- 1:39:04SPEAKER_00: Noted, but I think you can see that we can handle our own, yeah?
- 1:39:09SPEAKER_01: What happens to her when you're not here?
- 1:39:16SPEAKER_03: Oh, she'll be fine.
- 1:39:17SPEAKER_03: These blades are just a little dull and sharpening.
- 1:39:22SPEAKER_00: Back to threats now, buddy?
- 1:39:29SPEAKER_01: We're not the only ones looking to collect.
- 1:39:36SPEAKER_00: I kind of give the landlord, Gilvan, a dirty look.
- 1:39:44SPEAKER_00: She's clearly been money lending with the wrong sorts,
- 1:39:47SPEAKER_00: but another thing for us to clean up now that we're here.
- 1:39:53SPEAKER_01: No, it's not another loan.
- 1:39:54SPEAKER_01: It's the same loan.
- 1:39:56SPEAKER_01: He just hired a bunch of different people.
- 1:40:01SPEAKER_00: Oh, so this client's just an asshole.
- 1:40:07SPEAKER_01: Hey guys,
- 1:40:08SPEAKER_01: quick reminder to leave a like,
- 1:40:09SPEAKER_00: a comment, and don't forget to follow or subscribe to us.
- 1:40:13SPEAKER_00: Thanks!
- 1:40:36SPEAKER_01: That's a fair assessment.
- 1:40:40SPEAKER_00: But, uh, when can we expect to hear from you again?
- 1:40:48SPEAKER_01: Well, probably in a few days.
- 1:40:56SPEAKER_03: We'll leave our landlord alone in the meantime.
- 1:41:02SPEAKER_01: Plus three will leave her alone.
- 1:41:08SPEAKER_01: There are others that are also looking to collect.
- 1:41:11SPEAKER_00: I'd like you to put the word out that,
- 1:41:14SPEAKER_00: again, she's off limits until we speak to the main client.
- 1:41:19SPEAKER_01: I can try, but I'm not the one that hired the other groups.
- 1:41:22SPEAKER_01: It'd have to come from him.
- 1:41:25SPEAKER_03: Well then, tell him to make it so.
- 1:41:30SPEAKER_01: Take a few days for me to get in contact with him.
- 1:41:35SPEAKER_03: Is he on an island somewhere?
- 1:41:37SPEAKER_03: I thought he's going to be back here in a few days.
- 1:41:40SPEAKER_03: No, it's going to take a few days just to get in contact with him.
- 1:41:44SPEAKER_01: After we get in contact with him, I can get back here pretty quick.
- 1:41:51SPEAKER_03: Take this carrier pigeon.
- 1:41:56SPEAKER_00: Actually, that's not a bad idea.
- 1:41:58SPEAKER_00: You can absolutely take the pigeon, but a few days is fine.
- 1:42:03SPEAKER_00: Business and all that, I get it.
- 1:42:04SPEAKER_00: Nothing moves at the speed of light.
- 1:42:15SPEAKER_03: In the meantime, Lala turns to Gale.
- 1:42:21SPEAKER_03: Our protection services cost approximately a month and a half of rent.
- 1:42:37SPEAKER_01: Now, now,
- 1:42:42SPEAKER_01: while that's probably blightly inflated, we can discuss service fees later.
- 1:42:53SPEAKER_03: It wouldn't be if your rent was not inflated.
- 1:42:59SPEAKER_01: May we take our misty friend with us?
- 1:43:09SPEAKER_00: Yes, please.
- 1:43:10SPEAKER_00: He's clapping.
- 1:43:14SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'd like to see how you're going to collect him up.
- 1:43:17SPEAKER_01: They don't.
- 1:43:17SPEAKER_01: They just kind of motion and he kind of moved.
- 1:43:20SPEAKER_01: The mist moves over and they leave.
- 1:43:25SPEAKER_03: Oh, so wait.
- 1:43:28SPEAKER_03: Is he still alive?
- 1:43:33SPEAKER_01: You're not sure how vampires work.
- 1:43:41SPEAKER_01: Miss Verna is talking now.
- 1:43:43SPEAKER_01: Thank you for your assistance.
- 1:43:53SPEAKER_00: We didn't have much of a choice, but yeah, you're welcome.
- 1:43:58SPEAKER_01: I mean, you did.
- 1:43:59SPEAKER_01: You could have just left.
- 1:44:01SPEAKER_01: Well, that's not what we're about.
- 1:44:07SPEAKER_00: Be careful who you borrow money from.
- 1:44:10SPEAKER_01: That's not the first time I've been visited.
- 1:44:13SPEAKER_01: I've talked my way out of it before.
- 1:44:15SPEAKER_01: That's why the amount owed is so high.
- 1:44:22SPEAKER_00: Well, yes, but why would you borrow money from these stories?
- 1:44:27SPEAKER_01: I borrowed money from
- 1:44:34SPEAKER_01: black market financier.
- 1:44:41SPEAKER_01: And he got his money from
- 1:44:47SPEAKER_01: one of the crime organizations.
- 1:44:52SPEAKER_03: Well, you went to the black market.
- 1:44:53SPEAKER_03: Where else did you think it was going to come from?
- 1:44:58SPEAKER_01: I didn't go through any of the normal markets.
- 1:45:01SPEAKER_01: They wouldn't give me the money because I wasn't making any money.
- 1:45:07SPEAKER_00: I mean, look.
- 1:45:09SPEAKER_00: Lesson learned, if you lay down with the dog, you're going to get fleas.
- 1:45:14SPEAKER_00: Maybe not deal with, maybe try and go find other routes for funding.
- 1:45:22SPEAKER_00: There have to be.
- 1:45:24SPEAKER_00: And again, now that you know us, we can definitely work out business options.
- 1:45:30SPEAKER_00: Well, I have to say, I don't know how credible you are, but let's one problem at a time.
- 1:45:38SPEAKER_00: Um, we're gonna work to get this one sorted out.
- 1:45:44SPEAKER_00: Right?
- 1:45:44SPEAKER_00: And then, uh, I look to the rest
- 1:45:46SPEAKER_01: of it.
- 1:45:47SPEAKER_01: And it's like, uh, I can definitely help with that after we get situated.
- 1:45:57SPEAKER_01: We need to get our guild operation situated first.
- 1:46:06SPEAKER_01: That makes sense.
- 1:46:07SPEAKER_01: That is a discussion that we must have, though.
- 1:46:13SPEAKER_01: What kind of guild should the secondhand souls be?
- 1:46:21SPEAKER_03: We're a mariner's guild.
- 1:46:25SPEAKER_00: As in what we specialize in?
- 1:46:30SPEAKER_01: What we offer.
- 1:46:33SPEAKER_01: Do we want to deal in...
- 1:46:38SPEAKER_01: Commerce or trade goods bounties.
- 1:46:48SPEAKER_00: I would offer consultation services.
- 1:47:00SPEAKER_00: I don't know what else the rest of you all want to bring to the table,
- 1:47:02SPEAKER_00: but yes, I offer consultation services.
- 1:47:07SPEAKER_01: That's pretty well.
- 1:47:08SPEAKER_01: We could consult on various different topics.
- 1:47:10SPEAKER_01: We have a very well-established investigator, my wife.
- 1:47:18SPEAKER_01: We have
- 1:47:21SPEAKER_01: some very good individuals in sailing
- 1:47:30SPEAKER_01: and Protection and strong arm tactics
- 1:47:34SPEAKER_01: and some deceptive and sneaking tactics.
- 1:47:38SPEAKER_01: Have some magical prowess
- 1:47:45SPEAKER_01: and arcane knowledge.
- 1:47:48SPEAKER_03: I can teach people how to do makeup.
- 1:47:56SPEAKER_01: I think we could do consultation.
- 1:48:00SPEAKER_01: We are probably still going to have a little bit of the smaller jobs,
- 1:48:07SPEAKER_01: though, like the hunting and the collecting fines for people and whatnot.
- 1:48:17SPEAKER_01: Is there anything else you all would like to do at this time?
- 1:48:27SPEAKER_00: I would...
- 1:48:28SPEAKER_00: Probably like to take a shower, if possible.
- 1:48:33SPEAKER_00: I feel like getting grabbed by that,
- 1:48:38SPEAKER_00: what I'm assuming is a vampire since he burst into the mist.
- 1:48:44SPEAKER_00: So gross.
- 1:48:45SPEAKER_00: Otherwise, no.
- 1:48:48SPEAKER_01: So there is no working shower here.
- 1:48:51SPEAKER_01: And your building that you just purchased also didn't have a working shower yet.
- 1:49:00SPEAKER_03: Washing in the horse trough.
- 1:49:03SPEAKER_00: I give Lala all the dirty looks.
- 1:49:09SPEAKER_00: You're the landlord now.
- 1:49:11SPEAKER_00: You signed the paper.
- 1:49:13SPEAKER_00: Shower.
- 1:49:14SPEAKER_00: You're not my tenant.
- 1:49:17SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry?
- 1:49:18SPEAKER_01: You're not my tenant.
- 1:49:19SPEAKER_01: You're technically the tenant, not the landlord.
- 1:49:24SPEAKER_03: I'm subletting.
- 1:49:30SPEAKER_00: No shower?
- 1:49:32SPEAKER_00: What are we?
- 1:49:33SPEAKER_00: Uh-uh.
- 1:49:37SPEAKER_01: Listen, it's gonna take some time, all right?
- 1:49:39SPEAKER_01: I gotta make a few calls to see if anyone is willing to help us.
- 1:49:46SPEAKER_03: Come on, pretty boy.
- 1:49:47SPEAKER_03: I'm sure we can find half a barrel around here.
- 1:49:49SPEAKER_03: I'll show you how to make a bath.
- 1:49:54SPEAKER_03: Rich boys don't know how to do anything.
- 1:49:56SPEAKER_00: What are you talking about shower outside?
- 1:49:58SPEAKER_00: I need to be indoors.
- 1:50:00SPEAKER_03: I didn't say outside.
- 1:50:02SPEAKER_03: I said half a barrel.
- 1:50:05SPEAKER_03: Pour the water in, boil some of it.
- 1:50:08SPEAKER_03: It's nice and warm as long as you show up.
- 1:50:12SPEAKER_02: You want to help Bacame bathe, Laura?
- 1:50:16SPEAKER_00: She wants to put me in a barrel.
- 1:50:17SPEAKER_00: Are you trying to cook me?
- 1:50:20SPEAKER_03: If you don't talk about your whining, I mean it.
- 1:50:24SPEAKER_00: I'm simply asking questions.
- 1:50:26SPEAKER_00: This is all very weird.
- 1:50:28SPEAKER_03: I'm showing the rich boy how to make a bathtub.
