  SPEAKER_03: Welcome, fellow adventurers, nerds, and neurodivergents.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_03: Sit back, stay hydrated, and prepare yourselves for tonight's adventure.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_03: It's been a while, I think, since before the holidays.
• 0:52
  We had a holiday break and then some recovering from some
• 0:57
  sicknesses and whatnot.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_03: However, we are back as scheduled and as planned.
• 1:04
  Hopefully with less technical difficulties than we had last
• 1:09
  time or the time before.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_03: Without further ado,
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_03: last we left off,
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_03: the secondhand souls finally made it to the Belfast warehouse.
• 1:20
  After carefully checking for any hidden enemies,
• 1:22
  the group settled in and relaxed.
• 1:26
  Some claimed the washrooms first,
• 1:28
  while others explored more in depth throughout the facility.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_03: Krakka,
• 1:34
  took note of the brewing room and the kitchen with Deedle and
• 1:39
  had begun his own
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_03: experiments in both,
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_03: one for food and one for alcohol.
• 1:50
  Everyone then took turns washing up after the first were done
• 1:53
  and began eating.
• 1:55
  Ynor found a mysterious monocle that helped her identify some
• 1:59
  of the magic items
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_03: that they saved from the Onyx cord folds.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_03: They also took some time exploring further,
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_03: going through various drawers and crates and whatnot,
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_03: trying to see what things Belfast could be hiding.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_03: And then they ended up resting up after their long journey.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_03: They claimed various rooms to themselves,
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_03: some shared while others chose to be solo and rested up for the night.
• 2:25
  Now we rejoin them as they are just waking up this next morning
• 2:30
  feeling refreshed
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_03: and ready to go.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_03: Joaquin, why are you level 11?
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_02: I'm sorry, say again?
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_03: Why are you level 11?
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_02: We're all supposed to be level 10 right now?
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_02: Level 11?
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_03: You have level 5 Warlock.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_03: You should be level 4 Warlock.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_01: My mistake.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_01: I'm fixed at now.
• 3:06
  I just looked at the thing to switch to the correct map,
• 3:09
  and it showed you at level 11.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_03: I was very confused.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know why it gave me more HP.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_01: I should have 87.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_01: There we go.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_03: Corrected.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_03: We're back.
• 3:34
  You guys all wake up after a very peaceful evening's rest in an
• 3:40
  actual bed.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_03: With actual walls.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_03: No interruptions.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_03: No sneak attacks.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_03: No crazy anything.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_03: Just sleep.
• 4:04
  now the first thing i need one of you to do is somebody can
• 4:14
  volunteer to roll a
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_03: d100 i can go ahead you know i'll roll a
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_03: An 80.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_03: What are you all doing as you
• 5:02
  peacefully awaken I think I asked last time just to confirm
• 5:12
  there's no there's
• 5:13
  nowhere unique in here for snooping is there that I haven't
• 5:18
  already snooped like no
• 5:21
  rooms that you can snoop yes at least not with leaving the area
• 5:29
  of the map that we
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_02: are currently on
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_03: So,
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_03: other than the only place you haven't,
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_03: you guys,
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_03: both you,
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_03: Lala,
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_03: and everyone in general has been in is the hallway that leads up into Mr.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_03: Belfast's room.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_03: So there's like a double door with a hallway.
• 5:52
  He's got his own room,
• 5:54
  but it's got a door here too that you can get in and out.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to snoop there.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_03: And then strangely,
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_03: there's two bathrooms,
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_03: but there is,
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_03: like,
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_03: the size of the bathrooms,
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_03: because you've all been in the bathrooms.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_03: There's space here for something, but there's no door there.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_03: So, like, you don't know what's there either.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_03: So, yes, you could snoop around if you would like.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_02: I will.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_02: And forwarding my map is not working for whatever reason.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe it'll come about later, but...
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_03: Are you snooping stealthily?
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_02: Naturally.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_03: Go ahead and make a stealth check for me.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know if this will work, but if it doesn't, I have alternatives.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_02: uh so that's like 15 plus 12. so 27?
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_02: sure that sounds right.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_03: you feel pretty stealthy.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_02: let's go find stuff.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_03: you're probably the stealthiest individual that is currently awake.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_02: Is there anything to find?
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_03: So, you sneak out... Well, first, you, like, come out into the hallway.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_03: And you see Puppyfish there.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_03: Puppyfish is not stealthy.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_03: Puppyfish is slapping its tail all around and kind of wolfing at you.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_02: Puppyfish, go to the kitchen and eat.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_02: Go eat, sir.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_02: Go food.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_03: He hears food and just barrels down the hallway, leaving a slimy trail.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_02: Excellent.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_03: And you can continue on your way of being stealthy.
• 8:16
  Now,
• 8:19
  where you can go in this door,
• 8:22
  or you can go in these doors down here.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_02: So,
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_02: as I mentioned,
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_02: I can't actually see right now,
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_02: but the these doors are...
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_03: So you can go in the door that goes directly into what you assume is Mr.
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_03: Belfast's room,
• 8:40
  or you can go in the double doors that lead to some type of
• 8:45
  hallway area that you
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_03: assume.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_02: I want to go to his room.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_03: You just want to go right into his room?
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_02: If it's his room, there's got to be Snoopy stuff in there.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_03: You go into his door, you go up to his door, and it is locked.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_02: Mine's a lock pick.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_03: So that would be a sleight of hand check.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_03: Are you proficient with sleight of hand?
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_02: Indeed, along with my thieves.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_03: So yeah, just make your sleight of hand check then.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_03: Sometimes people are proficient with one but not the other.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_02: I am bored.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_02: That's a natural 20 plus eight.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_03: Everyone gets a inspiration.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_03: It gets an inspiration.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_02: Are these coming through to you or not?
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_02: Just out of curiosity.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_02: I said, are these coming through to you or not?
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_02: Just out of curiosity.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, cool.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_03: It's not adding your modifier, but the rolls are coming through.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_03: It didn't even light up green like it does when you roll a natural 20.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_03: That's so odd.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_02: Like I said, it's being weird today for some reason.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_03: You, like, get ready.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_03: You get your tools out.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_03: You're so excited to be lockpicking something.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_03: And you just put them in the lock.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_03: You don't even move them that much.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_03: You just put them into the keyhole.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_03: And the door clicks open.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_02: Security master, my behind you.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_03: The door opens.
• 10:32
  It is probably just under twice the size of the rooms you have
• 10:40
  been staying in.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_02: That checks out.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_03: Your rooms are like 25 square feet.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, 25 square feet.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_03: His room is...
• 10:59
  like oh no 25 square feet would be small uh five by five his
• 11:05
  room's like a six by
• 11:05
  six so a 30 by 30 room versus a 25 by 25 room maybe not quite
• 11:17
  twice the size but a
• 11:19
  bit larger uh it's empty other than like there's furniture in
• 11:22
  there but he's not in
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_03: there
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_02: Does it look like his bed has been slept in?
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_03: His bed is definitely messy and slept in, yes.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_03: There's some furniture knocked over about the room as well.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't clock him as an early riser, but maybe.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_02: Subtle signs of sleepwalking.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_02: Ooh, don't try to say that, but I'm fast.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_02: she's gonna start looking around.
• 12:04
  I wanna see if there's documents,
• 12:07
  a wallet,
• 12:08
  ID,
• 12:08
  things that identify a diary perhaps?
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_03: You still can't see the screen, right?
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_02: Correct.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_03: So,
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_03: this is a...
• 12:21
  The door you came in is facing the hallway that you came out of
• 12:27
  where all the other
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_03: rooms are.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_03: To your...
• 12:32
  right because you're on you're on this is an off center door so
• 12:38
  to your right
• 12:38
  directly is the adjacent wall with a couple shelves on it and
• 12:42
  the doors to the
• 12:43
  assumed hallway uh in front of you is the wall that has his bed
• 12:48
  on it and there's a
• 12:49
  trunk at the end of his bed that's on the opposite wall
• 12:53
  directly in front of you is
• 12:54
  a small table with some knocked over chairs and then next to
• 12:57
  his bed is like a
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_03: small writing desk
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_02: Check out the crunk in the writing desk first.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_02: Crunk first.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_03: Crunk's locked.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_02: I guess we'll pick this one too.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_03: Go ahead and make a sleight of hand check.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_02: Oh dear.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to use my inspiration for that one.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_03: That was real bad.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_02: Just, you know, mountainous.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_02: From the top to the bottom, like that.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, that seemed... Hang on.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_02: Let me see if it's doing a thing again.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_02: Ooh!
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna do this one more time.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_02: Just because I have enough and I can't accept this.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_03: That was a one, a one, and a two.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_02: There we go.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_02: Going down.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_02: Jesus!
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_02: Your inspiration.
• 14:02
  How unlucky do you have to be to...
• 14:04
  I guess that's luck because it's a 1 in 20 chance.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_03: Natural 20, two natural ones, and then a 2?
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_02: Indeed.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_03: You do get the chest open.
• 14:19
  This one takes a little bit longer,
• 14:21
  but only because there's three separate keyholes on it.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_02: And I sucked at two of them.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_03: One of the keyholes is...
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_03: A fake keyhole.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_03: It doesn't actually do anything.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_03: One of the keyholes is a false keyhole.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_03: Really just a hole.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_03: There's no key mechanism in it.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_03: Last keyhole you try is the actual keyhole and you get into it.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_02: So clever.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_02: Rifle, rifle, rifle.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_03: Clothing.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_02: Why is he locking up his clothing?
• 15:06
  Looks like fancy clothing with various medals and stuff on some
• 15:11
  of the attire.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_02: Medals like awards or just expensive?
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_03: You're not entirely sure.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_03: You don't recognize them,
• 15:23
  but I'm not entirely sure Lala would recognize the difference
• 15:28
  between the two.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_03: Not without studying them more closely.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_03: You keep rifling, then you hit the bottom of the trunk.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_02: Is it real or is there a false bottom?
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_02: Knock, knock.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_03: Make an investigation check.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, good.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_02: I'm so good at this.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_03: You didn't wake anyone else up with you, so you don't have any help.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, my God.
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_03: What is happening?
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, what is happening?
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_03: Physical dice?
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to try just rolling a d20.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_02: 10.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_02: Plus 6.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_02: 16.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_02: We'll stick with that.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_02: A 16?
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_03: You know, it's hard to tell at first.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_03: It's a very convincing bottom,
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_03: but you do eventually find the latch that releases it,
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_03: and it is a false bottom.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_02: Heck yeah.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_02: Nobody's locking up clothes, even if they aren't fancy.
• 16:53
  You find various schematics and drafts of things,
• 16:58
  and a couple of vials of some...
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_03: Liquid you don't immediately recognize currently.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_02: Are they all the same liquid or are they different?
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_03: They are all... I'll say there's three vials all different.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_02: I'll take them.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_03: They do smell.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_02: Naturally.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_03: Like, not bad, just... strong.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_02: Do they smell like him?
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_03: No, but he smelled like swamp.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, not all the time.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_02: Just lately.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_03: Or he just smelled like ocean and jail cell.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, we all do.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to assume they're not blown.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, so you got three vials of smelly liquid, different smells.
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_03: Some schematics or floor plans or something.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_03: And then there's there's a vial with purple liquid in it.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_02: Purple?
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_02: I like purple.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_03: It's also glowing.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_02: We'll take that one, too.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_02: And then replace the bottom and everything.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_03: Still no Belfast.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I'm fine with that.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not looking to get caught.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_02: We still have a writing desk to check out.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_02: Hoping to find a diary.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_02: We can exploit it.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_03: What is your passive perception?
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_02: Um, 16.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_03: As you walk past,
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_03: I'm assuming you're just going shortest possible path from the chest,
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_03: from the trunk to the writing desk?
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, but quietly.
• 19:22
  Yeah,
• 19:22
  but still,
• 19:23
  like,
• 19:23
  you're not trying to sneak around the room like a ninja.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think so.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_03: There's a piece of parchment on his bed.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_02: On ye bed.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_02: Can you read it?
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_03: Sure.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_03: You can read it.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I mean, I don't... It's in a language I can read.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_03: It's in common.
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_03: It's also in the chat.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_02: Do you want me to read it now?
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_02: Open.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_02: Open.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_02: Why are you doing this to me?

  Now,
• 20:54
  before you get all high and mighty on me,
• 20:58
  I would suggest you listen,
• 20:59
  well,
• 20:59
  read,
• 21:00
  first.
• 21:01
  You see,
• 21:02
  I have a beautiful plan,
• 21:03
  and I keep getting hung up with this thorn in my side.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_02: I was willing to let it go, but it keeps coming back.
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_02: And now, now, now this thorn has a name.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_02: Second hands hold.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_02: Names are dangerous.
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_02: They speak of power and hope.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_02: Dreams need to be destroyed or forgotten.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_02: I respect all of you, so I would much rather negotiate with you all.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_02: In exchange for your friends' lives,
• 21:30
  I would have you either back off of your investigations into
• 21:34
  snivel shape,
• 21:36
  SPEAKER_02: or join me in cause as double agents in feeding the information.
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_02: I have agents all over, you see, those within all of them.
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_02: Some have gone unnoticed, while others have been ousted
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_02: I'm in need of new ones,
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_02: preferably ones with some prestige,
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_02: a lot of guts,
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_02: and the will to protect those that they love.
• 21:56
  I will be moving on from this area and towards the southern
• 21:59
  part of Arligia soon.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_02: I have a baroness and a baron to visit.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_02: I do hope there are no other individuals that are with them when I do.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_02: I am the hooded figure.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_02: Prestige, huh?
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_02: You must not know we're wanted criminals.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_02: Well, shit.
• 22:22
  It is time to do what Lala does best,
• 22:24
  which is run down the hall yelling for Eonor.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_02: Stabbing things and running, yelling for Eonor.
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_02: Am I awake yet?
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_03: Everyone's awake, but you're just like... You weren't rudely awoken.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_03: There wasn't some invisible fairy thing stealing your golds.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_03: No one was yelling at anything.
• 22:49
  SPEAKER_03: There weren't alarm bells.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_03: There weren't anything about,
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_03: like,
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_03: there was no dead child floating on the ocean that you had to save.
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_02: There was no fairy creatures stealing gold that you know of.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_03: No one's trying to kidnap Krakka.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_03: It's peaceful night.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_03: So,
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_03: like,
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_03: you're just laying in bed,
• 23:06
  just kind of enjoying the relaxation of waking up peacefully
• 23:12
  and not having to
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_03: immediately be the adult.
• 23:16
  SPEAKER_03: Is it possible to do that next to a potato sack?
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_03: You look over at him, he's still breathing.
• 23:25
  But it's just...
• 23:27
  He's just staring blankly at whatever position you put his head
• 23:30
  in.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_03: His eyes are still open?
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_03: Have they been open this whole time?
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, he... Blinks every once in a while.
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_02: I was gonna say, he's gonna need some eye drops.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_03: But like...
• 23:45
  SPEAKER_03: Like, normally you blink frequently.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_03: He blinks, like... At, like, three times slower.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_00: His poor eyes.
• 23:58
  SPEAKER_03: Sometimes only one eye blinks.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, God.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_03: This poor man.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_03: That's fine.
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_03: We didn't break him.
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_03: Now you did hear.
• 24:11
  SPEAKER_03: Everyone would have heard Lala.
• 24:14
  telling puppy fish to go eat food just muffled in the hallway
• 24:18
  and then you hear the
• 24:21
  wet slaps of a dog running down the hallway at that i would
• 24:25
  have started getting up
• 24:26
  and moving okay it doesn't take very long because for her to
• 24:31
  lock pick and with
• 24:33
  everything she rolled and rifle through stuff in the time that
• 24:36
  you're done getting
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_03: ready you hear
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_03: your name being screamed.
• 24:49
  SPEAKER_03: I'd probably drag my sword out and start running.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_03: That's a very concerning thing to hear first thing in the morning.
• 24:57
  So you like drag your sword out and get out to the door and you
• 25:00
  almost stab Lala as
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_03: she's just sprinting because she's got her fast movement.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_03: She's sprinting and yelling for you.
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_03: Kind of just slams in you.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_02: You almost got me there.
• 25:17
  SPEAKER_02: You're screaming.
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_02: Why?
• 25:19
  SPEAKER_02: I was doing nothing.
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_02: Absolutely nothing.
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_02: Minding my own business.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_02: When I found a note that Mr.
• 25:29
  Belfast was kidnapped in the night and they are threatening us
• 25:34
  and I didn't touch
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_02: anything.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't touch the note because there might be clues.
• 25:41
  SPEAKER_02: You should go look.
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_02: The Belfast is gone.
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 25:48
  SPEAKER_02: And you weren't doing any illegal activities whatsoever.
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_02: You happened upon this note.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_02: I got lost on my way to the bathroom.
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna start walking.
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 26:12
  SPEAKER_03: Lala, are you going to lead her back to where you found the note?
• 26:16
  SPEAKER_02: I am,
• 26:16
  SPEAKER_02: but on the way,
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_02: if we can,
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_02: I'm just going to start yelling to collect people because I do think we,
• 26:23
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 26:24
  SPEAKER_02: we should probably check around and make sure that Mr.
• 26:27
  Belfast is for real gone-gone and we don't have a JonBenet
• 26:30
  Ramsey situation.
• 26:35
  So the rest of you here,
• 26:36
  well,
• 26:37
  you all would have heard Lala screaming for Yenor.
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_03: That would be Krakka, Deedle, and Wakim.
• 26:47
  SPEAKER_03: But now you also hear Lala summoning you all.
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_01: What?
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_01: What?
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_01: What?
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_01: What's the commotion all about?
• 27:02
  SPEAKER_03: I mean,
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_03: your doors are still...
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_03: Well,
• 27:06
  SPEAKER_03: Lala,
• 27:06
  SPEAKER_03: did you close the door after you left yours and Deedle's room?
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_02: Probably not.
• 27:13
  SPEAKER_03: I said,
• 27:13
  SPEAKER_03: Deedle,
• 27:13
  SPEAKER_03: your door's open,
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_03: but Joaquim and Praka,
• 27:17
  SPEAKER_03: your doors are closed,
• 27:17
  SPEAKER_03: and you still hear,
• 27:18
  SPEAKER_03: like,
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_03: you first heard Lala screaming,
• 27:21
  SPEAKER_03: and then you hear her talking loudly.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah,
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just...
• 27:27
  SPEAKER_01: That was me waking up and moseying my way over to the door,
• 27:30
  SPEAKER_01: just mumbling to myself.
• 27:33
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 27:35
  SPEAKER_01: And then once I open the door, I'll just see them standing in my doorway?
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 27:43
  SPEAKER_01: I was across from Lala and Deedle.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, so you see Deedle standing in her doorway.
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_03: There's a slime trail going from her door down the hallway.
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_03: Looking down the hallway, you see Lala leading Yenor somewhere.
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_01: Is it too early for this?
• 28:10
  SPEAKER_02: People are missing, Krakka.
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_01: Wait, what?
• 28:14
  SPEAKER_00: People are missing.
• 28:17
  SPEAKER_02: People are missing.
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_00: Is that why there's a snail trail?
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_02: Possibly.
• 28:24
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, well, let's follow the snail trail.
• 28:36
  SPEAKER_03: Team, are you getting up?
• 28:41
  SPEAKER_02: Yep, he'll stumble.
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_02: Uh,
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_01: he'll get up once he hears the scream and immediately detect,
• 28:48
  SPEAKER_01: uh,
• 28:49
  SPEAKER_01: detect magic,
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_01: uh,
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_01: and then start getting dressed,
• 28:53
  SPEAKER_01: and as he's dressed,
• 28:54
  SPEAKER_01: he'll,
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_01: uh,
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_01: open up his door.
• 28:57
  SPEAKER_01: Again, still using detect magic.
• 29:00
  SPEAKER_03: So everyone has gathered.
• 29:12
  She will re-explain to the others that she was absolutely doing
• 29:15
  nothing wrong,
• 29:16
  SPEAKER_02: minding her own business,
• 29:18
  SPEAKER_02: and ran into the note on the bed point.
• 29:23
  SPEAKER_02: And we should look around and make sure that he's for real gone,
• 29:29
  SPEAKER_02: or if there's any other broken into bits.
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_02: Oh.
• 29:38
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going down.
• 29:38
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going down.
• 29:42
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, by the way, um, this door was locked.
• 29:48
  SPEAKER_02: Uh,
• 29:49
  SPEAKER_02: so,
• 29:49
  SPEAKER_02: like,
• 29:51
  SPEAKER_02: when I accidentally stumbled in here trying to find the bathroom,
• 29:55
  SPEAKER_02: I had to pick the lock.
• 30:00
  SPEAKER_03: Why'd you pick a lock, then?
• 30:02
  SPEAKER_03: It might have been the bathroom.
• 30:04
  SPEAKER_03: What if Croco was peeing?
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_02: I'm sure he wouldn't have wanted.
• 30:12
  So you're telling me you ripped and your lockpick just happened
• 30:17
  to fall into the
• 30:18
  SPEAKER_01: lock and it just stumbled into the door and it opened?
• 30:26
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, exactly that.
• 30:28
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
• 30:30
  SPEAKER_02: See, he gets it.
• 30:32
  Let's see.
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_01: I'm all giving y'all, like, what they'll look like, for real.
• 30:40
  SPEAKER_01: But okay.
• 30:42
  SPEAKER_03: Can I start snooping around?
• 30:45
  SPEAKER_03: First,
• 30:46
  SPEAKER_03: your impressions of being the trained investigator that you are,
• 30:51
  SPEAKER_03: and both...
• 30:52
  SPEAKER_03: Croc,
• 30:52
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not sure how much experience you'd have in messy rooms,
• 30:55
  SPEAKER_03: but this room looks a little messy.
• 30:58
  Deedle and Wakeem,
• 30:59
  you would also recognize the signs of some type of altercation.
• 31:06
  All chairs around his little sitting table are knocked over,
• 31:10
  and not just backwards,
• 31:13
  SPEAKER_03: Like a chair would fall.
• 31:15
  SPEAKER_03: Sideways, one of them's upside down.
• 31:18
  SPEAKER_03: One of them's pushed forward on its front two legs on the table.
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_03: His bed's a mess.
• 31:27
  SPEAKER_03: His writing desk chair is a mess.
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_03: His writing desk is like everything's knocked over.
• 31:35
  SPEAKER_03: There's an ink plot spilled out.
• 31:39
  SPEAKER_03: And then Lala points out the note,
• 31:40
  SPEAKER_03: that piece of parchment that's just in the center of his messy bed.
• 31:45
  SPEAKER_03: So the note's on his bed?
• 31:47
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 31:50
  SPEAKER_03: What kind of messy is the bed?
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_03: Is there blood?
• 31:55
  SPEAKER_03: No blood.
• 31:56
  SPEAKER_03: It's just like someone was dragged out of bed.
• 32:01
  SPEAKER_02: He's a big dude.
• 32:03
  SPEAKER_02: How would one person drag him?
• 32:05
  SPEAKER_02: There had to be more than one.
• 32:07
  SPEAKER_03: There are bigger... Yeah, he's pretty big.
• 32:13
  SPEAKER_03: And he's got, like, that toned athlete's muscle.
• 32:16
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 32:17
  SPEAKER_03: He's not, like, buff.
• 32:19
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my god.
• 32:20
  SPEAKER_02: What if it...
• 32:22
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe,
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_02: like,
• 32:23
  three of them dragged him out while the others sat here writing
• 32:27
  this missive at his
• 32:28
  SPEAKER_02: very own writing desk.
• 32:31
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, how dare they do with his writing desk?
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_02: You don't know if they do or not.
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_02: A JonBenet Ramsey situation, though.
• 32:40
  SPEAKER_03: Can I start, like, rifling through things?
• 32:43
  SPEAKER_03: What things do you want to rifle through?
• 32:45
  SPEAKER_03: Everything.
• 32:47
  SPEAKER_03: I need clues.
• 32:49
  SPEAKER_03: So you go over to the chest.
• 32:51
  SPEAKER_02: You go over to the trunk.
• 32:52
  SPEAKER_02: I'm just reading it out loud to everybody while she investigates.
• 32:57
  SPEAKER_03: You open the trunk.
• 33:00
  SPEAKER_03: Strange wasn't locked.
• 33:03
  SPEAKER_03: Strange, these clothes aren't folded.
• 33:07
  start going through the clothes there's a false bottom pull the
• 33:13
  false bottom up
• 33:15
  strange there's nothing underneath the false bottom you don't
• 33:18
  you don't really have
• 33:19
  SPEAKER_02: to check that lala yeah was there was there something in here
• 33:35
  SPEAKER_03: Did you fall and accidentally lockpick this too?
• 33:39
  SPEAKER_02: As you might notice,
• 33:40
  SPEAKER_02: it is directly in line with the door,
• 33:42
  SPEAKER_02: and when I fell through,
• 33:45
  SPEAKER_02: and my lockpicking,
• 33:47
  in my attempt to put them back in my pocket so they would do no
• 33:50
  more harm,
• 33:52
  SPEAKER_02: they entered into here,
• 33:55
  SPEAKER_02: and I tumbled in and found several things.
• 34:01
  SPEAKER_03: I see.
• 34:03
  SPEAKER_02: Can I see it?
• 34:05
  SPEAKER_02: to unload the stuff and, like, lay it on the bed.
• 34:10
  So there's,
• 34:11
  um,
• 34:11
  did you take the parchment,
• 34:13
  like,
• 34:13
  the schematics and plans and whatnot?
• 34:16
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 34:17
  SPEAKER_02: I rolled them up scroll style.
• 34:19
  So she unrolls scrolls that look like various build plans and
• 34:24
  schematics and floor
• 34:25
  SPEAKER_03: plans and whatnot on,
• 34:26
  SPEAKER_03: like,
• 34:26
  SPEAKER_03: that thinner parchment paper.
• 34:30
  Three weird,
• 34:31
  very fragrant,
• 34:32
  strong-smelling bottles of three very different fragrance.
• 34:36
  SPEAKER_03: Is it just perfumes?
• 34:39
  SPEAKER_03: Perfumes or colognes or something, probably.
• 34:41
  SPEAKER_03: You would hazard a guess.
• 34:43
  SPEAKER_03: Very smelly.
• 34:46
  SPEAKER_03: And then a bottle of glowing purple liquid.
• 34:53
  SPEAKER_03: Can I flick the monocle on?
• 34:56
  SPEAKER_03: Where?
• 34:58
  SPEAKER_03: I attempt...
• 35:00
  SPEAKER_03: What do I roll?
• 35:01
  SPEAKER_03: What are you looking at?
• 35:03
  SPEAKER_03: The... First, the glowing liquid.
• 35:06
  SPEAKER_03: You don't need the monocle for that.
• 35:07
  SPEAKER_03: You know exactly what that glowing liquid is.
• 35:09
  SPEAKER_03: Is it Sniffle Shade?
• 35:11
  SPEAKER_03: It's a glowing vial of Sniffle Shade.
• 35:13
  SPEAKER_03: This motherfucker.
• 35:15
  SPEAKER_03: He's been doing drugs.
• 35:19
  SPEAKER_03: This matches the... of the vials that are in the...
• 35:30
  SPEAKER_03: Things that keep appearing and attacking you.
• 35:37
  SPEAKER_03: So the, the, um.
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_03: Murdered cultists.
• 35:40
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 35:41
  SPEAKER_03: In body, in the suits with the vials.
• 35:45
  SPEAKER_03: Matches that glow.
• 35:46
  SPEAKER_03: Not necessarily the purified drug form that can.
• 35:51
  SPEAKER_03: Was it confirmed that he had a hand in making them?
• 35:56
  SPEAKER_03: Or no?
• 35:58
  SPEAKER_03: No, he said someone did it under his nose.
• 36:02
  SPEAKER_02: Check the schematics.
• 36:03
  SPEAKER_03: But he's got this shit in his bedroom.
• 36:11
  SPEAKER_03: In a false bottom safe.
• 36:16
  SPEAKER_03: I've been hacked.
• 36:17
  SPEAKER_03: The vial isn't as big as the vials that are in the armor.
• 36:21
  SPEAKER_03: It's a smaller vial.
• 36:23
  SPEAKER_03: Potentially...
• 36:28
  One that you could have,
• 36:30
  that an investigator could have found to do their own research.
• 36:35
  SPEAKER_03: On the other hand, this could be the original formula.
• 36:41
  SPEAKER_03: And what else was in there?
• 36:44
  SPEAKER_03: The perfume, this, and what?
• 36:46
  SPEAKER_03: Various schematics and floor plans of different things.
• 36:49
  SPEAKER_03: I want to try to read the schematics.
• 36:52
  SPEAKER_03: That you're going to need an investigation check for.
• 36:57
  SPEAKER_00: Can I see that note again?
• 36:59
  SPEAKER_00: I want to read that once more.
• 37:00
  SPEAKER_02: Lalala will hand it over to him.
• 37:06
  SPEAKER_02: 26.
• 37:09
  SPEAKER_03: So you see a couple of floor plans.
• 37:15
  SPEAKER_03: One looks like a draft floor plan of this facility that you're in.
• 37:20
  A couple other similar ones of other various facilities
• 37:23
  scattered about different layouts.
• 37:29
  SPEAKER_03: You see some airship schematics.
• 37:37
  SPEAKER_03: Like just layers of...
• 37:40
  SPEAKER_03: One layer is just like all the engine interworkings,
• 37:43
  SPEAKER_03: and then one layer is like entertainment stuff,
• 37:45
  SPEAKER_03: and then one layer is like...
• 37:46
  SPEAKER_03: Like the airship we were on that got attacked and crashed?
• 37:49
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, similar to that.
• 37:51
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, similar but not exact.
• 37:53
  SPEAKER_03: No.
• 37:53
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 37:54
  SPEAKER_03: Not exactly the same.
• 37:55
  SPEAKER_03: These just look like prototypes.
• 37:57
  SPEAKER_03: You see some schematics for various different suits of armor.
• 38:02
  SPEAKER_03: Power armor that you want.
• 38:04
  SPEAKER_03: Any of the Sniffle Shade ones?
• 38:08
  SPEAKER_03: Nope.
• 38:09
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 38:10
  SPEAKER_03: You do see some...
• 38:11
  SPEAKER_03: On one of the schematics of the power armor,
• 38:14
  SPEAKER_03: it does show alternative power source with a question mark.
• 38:20
  SPEAKER_03: So he was looking into it.
• 38:22
  SPEAKER_03: He was looking into a way to...
• 38:26
  SPEAKER_03: maybe more efficiently or effectively power the suits.
• 38:30
  Okay.
• 38:32
  SPEAKER_03: So standard inventor things?
• 38:34
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 38:35
  SPEAKER_03: Nothing directly pointing to the abominations that you've run across.
• 38:40
  SPEAKER_03: Can I try to check the perfumes?
• 38:43
  SPEAKER_03: Sure.
• 38:45
  SPEAKER_03: Another investigation?
• 38:46
  SPEAKER_03: It's the same investigation, because it's all the same stuff.
• 38:53
  SPEAKER_03: Are you checking them, though?
• 38:57
  looking through it maybe like dumping a little on the table
• 39:04
  wafting the scent not
• 39:05
  sniffing directly first one is in this kind of like ob oblong
• 39:13
  bottle weird shape
• 39:15
  bottle textured just smells like a really strong perfume okay
• 39:21
  smells like wakim's
• 39:22
  SPEAKER_00: house okay
• 39:28
  SPEAKER_03: His parents' house.
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_03: I guess not his house, his parents' house.
• 39:31
  SPEAKER_03: The Sioux family home.
• 39:33
  SPEAKER_03: Next one, you open up.
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_03: It's actually not giving off much of a scent.
• 39:43
  SPEAKER_03: You pour it out.
• 39:45
  SPEAKER_03: It's just water.
• 39:46
  SPEAKER_01: It's just water.
• 39:47
  SPEAKER_02: Why does he have a jar of water?
• 39:54
  SPEAKER_02: Why does the water have a scent?
• 39:58
  SPEAKER_03: eats away at whatever you just poured it on top of.
• 40:01
  SPEAKER_03: So it's not water.
• 40:02
  And then it evaporates and then stops eating away at whatever
• 40:05
  it was poured on top of.
• 40:06
  SPEAKER_03: What is that?
• 40:08
  SPEAKER_03: You assumed some type of acid.
• 40:12
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, so we have... You don't have the acid anymore, it's gone.
• 40:15
  SPEAKER_03: Unless you only poured a little bit out.
• 40:17
  SPEAKER_02: Just like a drop or two.
• 40:19
  SPEAKER_03: So, like... Say, Joaquim's dad's perfume.
• 40:25
  SPEAKER_03: Or Joaquim's cologne.
• 40:28
  SPEAKER_03: Mr. Suze Cologne.
• 40:33
  SPEAKER_03: Acid.
• 40:33
  SPEAKER_03: Not the drug.
• 40:38
  SPEAKER_03: Substance.
• 40:40
  SPEAKER_03: Get those two confused.
• 40:47
  The third one,
• 40:48
  even wafting it,
• 40:48
  you sniff it and you just feel like a little amped up.
• 40:55
  SPEAKER_03: You need to make a constitution saving throw.
• 41:01
  SPEAKER_03: And it didn't do anything on the table?
• 41:04
  SPEAKER_03: What, this one?
• 41:05
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 41:06
  SPEAKER_03: No, it didn't do anything to the table.
• 41:09
  SPEAKER_03: I get a plus four to that, I believe.
• 41:11
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 41:12
  SPEAKER_03: To 19.
• 41:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 41:14
  SPEAKER_03: If you want to keep it.
• 41:15
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'll keep it.
• 41:17
  SPEAKER_03: You're fine.
• 41:19
  SPEAKER_03: Yep.
• 41:21
  SPEAKER_03: You feel a little jittery, though, for a second.
• 41:25
  SPEAKER_03: So this is some kind of, like, upper drug.
• 41:29
  SPEAKER_03: It may not be drug, it may just be an enchanted cologne.
• 41:35
  SPEAKER_03: It tried to do stuff to me.
• 41:39
  SPEAKER_03: I'd assume you were resisting it because you didn't know what it was.
• 41:43
  SPEAKER_02: Oh god.
• 41:44
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't know they had colognes with roofies in them.
• 41:49
  SPEAKER_03: Do you still have the monocle on?
• 41:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 41:53
  SPEAKER_03: You can either make an arcana check or a straight investigation check.
• 42:03
  SPEAKER_03: 18.
• 42:05
  SPEAKER_03: It seems to be this perfume was enchanted with the haste spell.
• 42:12
  SPEAKER_03: So, like, wear it or save it?
• 42:16
  SPEAKER_03: Wear it.
• 42:17
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, so if I wear it, I have haste.
• 42:21
  SPEAKER_03: Only for a short time.
• 42:22
  SPEAKER_03: It may not be a full enchantment.
• 42:25
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 42:27
  SPEAKER_03: It may be a partial enchantment.
• 42:30
  SPEAKER_03: Belfast and his half-assed shit.
• 42:35
  Could have been a full enchantment at one time and then sat in
• 42:38
  a chest for a while.
• 42:39
  SPEAKER_01: That's fair.
• 42:47
  SPEAKER_03: Can I try to like look under the bed and under the furniture?
• 42:54
  SPEAKER_03: Sure.
• 42:56
  SPEAKER_03: You don't see really anything under the bed or under the furniture?
• 42:59
  SPEAKER_03: It's a little dusty.
• 43:02
  SPEAKER_03: It's been a while since he's been here.
• 43:04
  SPEAKER_03: You think he does the cleaning?
• 43:07
  SPEAKER_03: I think he doesn't care enough to pay someone to do it.
• 43:12
  SPEAKER_03: He does not strike me as the kind of man who's a germaphobe.
• 43:19
  SPEAKER_03: He did cut off a man's hands and feet.
• 43:22
  SPEAKER_03: I don't think he washed his hands after that.
• 43:25
  SPEAKER_03: No.
• 43:26
  SPEAKER_03: He did not.
• 43:27
  SPEAKER_03: The kind of man who behead someone and then eats a sandwich.
• 43:33
  SPEAKER_03: Kind of gross.
• 43:34
  SPEAKER_03: Behead someone while eating a sandwich.
• 43:37
  SPEAKER_03: Oh god, do you think he uses a set of sauce?
• 43:40
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe.
• 43:44
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, so the room is destroyed, basically.
• 43:47
  SPEAKER_03: All the chairs are flipped and knocked over.
• 43:50
  SPEAKER_03: There's the note.
• 43:52
  SPEAKER_03: There's the random absorbent items that we accidentally found.
• 43:58
  SPEAKER_03: And then there's a random note, basically.
• 44:05
  SPEAKER_03: And then there's what Joaquim senses on Detect Magic.
• 44:09
  SPEAKER_03: Because, Joaquim, your detect magic is up, right?
• 44:18
  SPEAKER_03: Yep, yep.
• 44:20
  SPEAKER_03: I've got it up.
• 44:22
  So you picked up on the very,
• 44:24
  like,
• 44:25
  the...
• 44:27
  The perfume...
• 44:27
  The clone's just clone.
• 44:29
  But you picked up on the two other vials being magical as Junor
• 44:33
  was investigating them.
• 44:37
  SPEAKER_03: You are also picking up the faint...
• 44:41
  SPEAKER_03: residual arcane energy of whatever...
• 44:47
  thing or person or entity wrote this note and left it that's
• 44:51
  just giving off a
• 44:52
  SPEAKER_03: faint...
• 44:55
  SPEAKER_03: Hard to tell what type of energy,
• 44:57
  SPEAKER_03: just a faint magical essence is coming off of the note.
• 45:06
  SPEAKER_01: Well, if it's giving off a magical essence,
• 45:08
  SPEAKER_01: Um, the detect magic could tell me what's foot magic, right?
• 45:14
  SPEAKER_03: The school of magic.
• 45:17
  SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna have to look back at my list of magic schools.
• 45:22
  SPEAKER_03: I never have this list memorized.
• 45:25
  SPEAKER_02: The note refers to having taken friends, but you're all here.
• 45:30
  SPEAKER_03: You have other friends that haven't showed up yet.
• 45:34
  SPEAKER_02: The friends is a rather loose term.
• 45:43
  I mean,
• 45:54
  this was left as a note for all of you,
• 45:57
  so it's just written generically.
• 45:59
  SPEAKER_03: I think Yanor would consider Zara a friend.
• 46:07
  SPEAKER_02: Sorry, say that again?
• 46:09
  SPEAKER_03: I just,
• 46:09
  SPEAKER_03: to Lala's point,
• 46:11
  I think Yanor would consider Zara a friend because Zara's group
• 46:15
  has not shown up
• 46:16
  SPEAKER_03: yet.
• 46:17
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, I wish I wasn't muted, but... What?
• 46:23
  SPEAKER_01: I was talking, but I was muted the whole time, and I didn't know that.
• 46:26
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, jeez.
• 46:28
  But yeah,
• 46:28
  after reading this note,
• 46:29
  I did notice how it says secondhand souls and company.
• 46:34
  well if this person knows who we are and what our name is now
• 46:38
  who would the company
• 46:40
  be like if he doesn't if you know like also it says friends
• 46:48
  well if it's friends
• 46:50
  then it's not just belfast that was taken or is this all a
• 46:56
  rouge and the hooded
• 46:58
  SPEAKER_00: figure is belfast you know he has
• 47:02
  um found other purposes to use sniffle shade besides selling it
• 47:06

• 47:40
  SPEAKER_00: I think... I think we're being played here.
• 47:50
  SPEAKER_00: But Zara and our friends could be in trouble.
• 47:56
  SPEAKER_03: Joachim,
• 47:57
  the residual magic that you are sensing on the note is from the
• 48:02
  necromantic school
• 48:03
  SPEAKER_03: of magic.
• 48:07
  Joachim would kind of pipe up and say,
• 48:08
  what's with the undead magic over here?
• 48:16
  SPEAKER_03: There's undead over here?
• 48:19
  SPEAKER_01: Undead magic.

  leadership of the
• 52:43
  Orlegian tribes and that her mom was away at the capital
• 52:48
  dealing with these issues
• 52:49
  SPEAKER_03: as a neutral third party between the tribal chiefs.
• 52:54
  SPEAKER_03: But her dad was with her.
• 52:57
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, because the Baron and the Baroness would not travel together.
• 53:01
  SPEAKER_03: But the note specifies Baron and Baroness.
• 53:05
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.

  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I don't have it in.
• 58:14
  SPEAKER_03: Joaquin, do you have it?
• 58:20
  SPEAKER_02: What am I looking for?
• 58:22
  SPEAKER_03: Do you know if you have the Sending Stone that Lady Wren gave you?
• 58:29
  SPEAKER_02: My head, I don't believe so, but I'm checking my inventory.
• 58:32
  Nope.
• 58:38
  SPEAKER_01: I do not have a sending stone.
• 58:41
  SPEAKER_03: We'll say Yenor probably kept it because Yenor kept your badges.
• 58:46
  So Yenor,
• 58:46
  add the sending stone to your inventory so that we don't have
• 58:49
  to.
• 58:49
  SPEAKER_03: Every time you go to use it,
• 58:50
  I think we've gone through this trying to figure out who has
• 58:53
  the sending stone.
• 58:58
  SPEAKER_03: Just a custom item, yeah.
• 59:04
  SPEAKER_03: Manage inventory.
• 59:08
  SPEAKER_03: There you go, custom item.
• 59:14
  SPEAKER_02: To run?
• 59:16
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 59:30
  SPEAKER_03: Found the Sending Stone.
• 59:33
  SPEAKER_03: What would you like to do with the Sending Stone?
• 59:39
  SPEAKER_02: Activate it again?
• 59:40
  SPEAKER_03: You're just talking to it.
• 59:44
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to pull it out.
• 59:46
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to be like, Lady Ren.
• 59:47
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to knock it on the table a few times.
• 1:00:11
  SPEAKER_02: Ren!
• 1:00:20
  SPEAKER_02: Hello, who is this?
• 1:00:25
  SPEAKER_01: Who do you give Sending Stones to?
• 1:00:30
  SPEAKER_03: This isn't Ren.
• 1:00:32
  SPEAKER_03: Who is this?
• 1:00:33
  SPEAKER_03: Depends who you are.
• 1:00:35
  SPEAKER_03: I may not be authorized to tell you who this is.
• 1:00:39
  SPEAKER_03: A friend?
• 1:00:42
  SPEAKER_03: Of Wren's.
• 1:00:47
  SPEAKER_03: Do you have an authorization code?
• 1:00:51
  SPEAKER_03: Do we?
• 1:00:52
  SPEAKER_03: No, you are not given an authorization code.
• 1:00:54
  SPEAKER_03: You were handed the Sending Stone.
• 1:00:57
  SPEAKER_03: I do not, but I have a Sending Stone from Lady Wren.
• 1:01:03
  SPEAKER_03: Do you have a serial number?
• 1:01:05
  SPEAKER_03: Is there a serial number on the stone?
• 1:01:07
  SPEAKER_03: No.
• 1:01:08
  SPEAKER_03: There is not.
• 1:01:10
  SPEAKER_03: What about a badge number?
• 1:01:13
  SPEAKER_03: I have a badge number.
• 1:01:15
  SPEAKER_03: What kind of badge?
• 1:01:21
  SPEAKER_03: From Lady Ren.
• 1:01:28
  SPEAKER_02: This sounds compromised as fuck.
• 1:01:33
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know where they went.
• 1:01:44
  SPEAKER_03: I have an official badge from the Lantana family.
• 1:01:48
  SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah?
• 1:01:49
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:01:51
  SPEAKER_03: Would you happen to know where the Lantana family is now?
• 1:01:55
  SPEAKER_03: I do not.
• 1:01:56
  SPEAKER_03: I do have news about that.
• 1:02:00
  SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah?
• 1:02:01
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 1:02:02
  SPEAKER_03: What is that news?
• 1:02:04
  SPEAKER_03: I need to confirm who this is first.
• 1:02:07
  SPEAKER_03: I am not authorized to tell you that.
• 1:02:08
  SPEAKER_03: You haven't given me your identifying information.
• 1:02:11
  SPEAKER_03: Can I read him my badge number?
• 1:02:15
  SPEAKER_03: From the Lay's Hannah badges?
• 1:02:20
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, you can.
• 1:02:23
  SPEAKER_03: Your badge starts glowing.

• 1:02:41
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 1:02:46
  SPEAKER_03: Joaquim, why is this glowing?
• 1:02:50
  SPEAKER_03: The badge is giving off divination magic, Joaquim.
• 1:03:00
  SPEAKER_01: Sounds like you're getting a call.
• 1:03:01
  SPEAKER_01: Are you making a call?
• 1:03:05
  SPEAKER_03: I turn the badge around and over, inspecting it.
• 1:03:10
  SPEAKER_03: Is there a button?
• 1:03:12
  SPEAKER_03: No.

  To be fair,

  they should have already known where we are because they took
• 1:04:25
  Belfast.
• 1:04:28
  SPEAKER_03: So this might be different people.

  SPEAKER_03: Touché.

• 1:04:53
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know which one this is.
• 1:04:56
  SPEAKER_03: I'm guessing Ren.
• 1:04:58
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, this is Lady Ren.
• 1:04:59
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, Investigator Grey Breeze.
• 1:05:02
  SPEAKER_03: Good morning.
• 1:05:04
  SPEAKER_03: Your captain's an ass.
• 1:05:06
  SPEAKER_03: My captain's following protocol.
• 1:05:08
  SPEAKER_03: Why is it glowing?
• 1:05:10
  SPEAKER_03: You read him the badge number?
• 1:05:13
  SPEAKER_03: He needed to confirm that I'm not a kidnapper or something.
• 1:05:17
  SPEAKER_03: That's how we locate criminals who have stolen badges.
• 1:05:21
  SPEAKER_03: I am not a... Listen, they tell you that I'm not a criminal.
• 1:05:26
  SPEAKER_03: You're not a criminal.
• 1:05:28
  SPEAKER_03: But our police actively hand out fake badges to criminals.
• 1:05:34
  SPEAKER_03: And then... You gave me fake badges?
• 1:05:36
  SPEAKER_03: No, yours is a real badge.
• 1:05:37
  SPEAKER_03: Then why is it glowing?
• 1:05:39
  He used the secret locator chip when we have an undercover
• 1:05:42
  agent that may need assistance.
• 1:05:46
  SPEAKER_03: You freak me out.
• 1:05:48
  SPEAKER_03: I told him to turn it off.
• 1:05:49
  SPEAKER_03: It shouldn't be glowing anymore.
• 1:05:50
  SPEAKER_03: Did it stop?
• 1:05:51
  SPEAKER_03: It did stop.
• 1:05:52
  Okay.
• 1:05:53
  SPEAKER_03: I put it back in my pocket.
• 1:05:55
  SPEAKER_03: Your parents... Have a hit on them?
• 1:06:00
  SPEAKER_03: We are where?
• 1:06:02
  SPEAKER_03: Do you know who?
• 1:06:03
  SPEAKER_03: They took my body!
• 1:06:05
  SPEAKER_03: Well,
• 1:06:05
  seeing as some lunatic in a suit of armor just attacked one of
• 1:06:09
  our walls...
• 1:06:11
  SPEAKER_03: Was it...
• 1:06:12
  SPEAKER_03: was it purple?
• 1:06:14
  SPEAKER_03: Was there purple mist?
• 1:06:17
  SPEAKER_03: No, he just had a really big rocket launcher.
• 1:06:19
  SPEAKER_01: That sounds like a problem.
• 1:06:23
  It's only a problem until mom got involved after she kicked the
• 1:06:30
  guards' asses
• 1:06:31
  SPEAKER_03: because they wouldn't let her out of her room.
• 1:06:34
  SPEAKER_03: He wasn't a problem for much longer after that.
• 1:06:38
  SPEAKER_03: Do you know who?
• 1:06:41
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I don't know.
• 1:06:42
  SPEAKER_03: He got vaporized, so we couldn't really question him.
• 1:06:46
  SPEAKER_03: She doesn't have... chill.
• 1:06:50
  SPEAKER_03: I was trying to capture.
• 1:06:52
  SPEAKER_03: I was trying to capture, but I almost got exploded by a rocket.
• 1:06:58
  SPEAKER_03: So she went a little crazy.
• 1:07:06
  SPEAKER_03: So you have no idea.
• 1:07:09
  SPEAKER_03: Where's your dad?
• 1:07:12
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, he is holding a diplomatic meeting with the refugees right now.
• 1:07:17
  SPEAKER_03: Where?
• 1:07:18
  SPEAKER_03: In the castle.
• 1:07:20
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 1:07:21
  SPEAKER_03: So they're both there with you?
• 1:07:23
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 1:07:26
  SPEAKER_03: I'm assuming in the place that's 800 miles away?
• 1:07:29
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 1:07:30
  SPEAKER_02: Are there any hooded figures in the crowd?
• 1:07:33
  SPEAKER_01: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 1:07:35
  SPEAKER_03: They're having a meeting with somebody?
• 1:07:38
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, the refugees that you guys sent over.
• 1:07:43
  SPEAKER_02: Those refugees were captured.
• 1:07:47
  SPEAKER_03: Is there a way that you have to get us from here to there?
• 1:07:55
  SPEAKER_03: Do you have a teleportation circle?
• 1:07:57
  SPEAKER_03: What is that?
• 1:07:58
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to take that as a no.
• 1:08:03
  SPEAKER_03: You don't have a teleportation circle?
• 1:08:05
  SPEAKER_03: I am a paladin.
• 1:08:08
  SPEAKER_03: I don't understand these things.
• 1:08:10
  SPEAKER_03: Everyone can hear the ascending stone.
• 1:08:13
  SPEAKER_03: Does anyone have a teleportation circle?
• 1:08:19
  SPEAKER_02: What does it look like?
• 1:08:21
  SPEAKER_03: A circle.
• 1:08:23
  SPEAKER_02: I can draw one right now.
• 1:08:25
  SPEAKER_03: That's not how that works.
• 1:08:27
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, no, no.
• 1:08:28
  SPEAKER_03: If I had a week, I couldn't explain how long, why that doesn't work.
• 1:08:31
  SPEAKER_03: But, what?
• 1:08:34
  SPEAKER_03: No, we don't have it.
• 1:08:37
  SPEAKER_03: Belfast, mate.
• 1:08:38
  SPEAKER_03: From our locator, Chip, you are in the middle of the swamp.
• 1:08:42
  SPEAKER_03: Why are you in the middle of the swamp?
• 1:08:44
  SPEAKER_03: There's nothing there.
• 1:08:46
  SPEAKER_03: We need to admire a free supply.
• 1:08:52
  SPEAKER_03: From what?
• 1:08:55
  SPEAKER_03: A friend.
• 1:08:56
  SPEAKER_03: A friend lives here.
• 1:08:57
  SPEAKER_03: A friend who has now been kidnapped.
• 1:08:59
  SPEAKER_03: By someone who threatened your parents.
• 1:09:02
  SPEAKER_02: Again with the S-word.
• 1:09:07
  SPEAKER_03: I bet it's her friend to do stuff together.
• 1:09:16
  SPEAKER_03: Would Belfast have one in here?
• 1:09:19
  SPEAKER_03: Did I see any circles?
• 1:09:21
  SPEAKER_03: You did not.
• 1:09:21
  SPEAKER_03: While we were checking out.
• 1:09:24
  SPEAKER_03: In his room.
• 1:09:29
  SPEAKER_03: Even with a teleportation circle, I'd have to have you link it.
• 1:09:38
  SPEAKER_03: to the closest teleportation city.
• 1:09:40
  Because that would also put us 400 miles away from the city
• 1:09:49
  that we needed to get
• 1:09:49
  SPEAKER_03: to anyway,
• 1:09:50
  SPEAKER_03: right?
• 1:09:52
  SPEAKER_03: Well,
• 1:09:52
  SPEAKER_03: unfortunately,
• 1:09:53
  SPEAKER_03: the closest teleportation city to my humble estate here,
• 1:10:00
  SPEAKER_03: you either would have to go to the capital of Tui,
• 1:10:06
  SPEAKER_03: your Legion capital.
• 1:10:08
  SPEAKER_03: You just appearing in there.
• 1:10:09
  SPEAKER_03: Teleportation circle would raise some questions.
• 1:10:14
  SPEAKER_03: My mom was just there.
• 1:10:15
  SPEAKER_03: I don't think she'd appreciate having to go back.
• 1:10:19
  SPEAKER_03: You could go into the port city of Nazluchisi.
• 1:10:28
  SPEAKER_03: Lala, you would recognize that port city.
• 1:10:30
  That's the port city that you traveled from before you got
• 1:10:35
  conscripted into being a pirate.
• 1:10:38
  SPEAKER_02: Is that home?
• 1:10:43
  SPEAKER_03: Nazaluziki is not your home.
• 1:10:46
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't think so.
• 1:10:48
  SPEAKER_03: Or you could go into the Onyx Accord city of Arbor.
• 1:10:56
  SPEAKER_03: The Onyx Accord is hunting us, right?
• 1:11:01
  SPEAKER_03: The Zatha branch of the Onyx Accord is hunting you.
• 1:11:04
  SPEAKER_03: How far away is Zatha branch?
• 1:11:07
  SPEAKER_03: While Zatha is just across the coast from Arbor.
• 1:11:12
  SPEAKER_03: So, pretty local.
• 1:11:13
  SPEAKER_03: They share a strait.
• 1:11:15
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, no.
• 1:11:16
  SPEAKER_03: Where are my options?
• 1:11:18
  SPEAKER_03: I'm looking at the map now.
• 1:11:21
  SPEAKER_03: Nazluziki has a teleportation portal.
• 1:11:24
  SPEAKER_03: Arbor has a teleportation portal.
• 1:11:26
  SPEAKER_03: Tui has a teleportation portal.
• 1:11:28
  SPEAKER_03: This is where she is.
• 1:11:34
  SPEAKER_03: If you want to get to her.
• 1:11:37
  SPEAKER_03: Where is the Arlegian capital?
• 1:11:40
  SPEAKER_03: Right here.
• 1:11:42
  SPEAKER_03: Where?
• 1:11:46
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 1:11:49
  SPEAKER_03: So we can go there?
• 1:11:51
  SPEAKER_03: Eshania.
• 1:11:52
  SPEAKER_03: There.
• 1:11:53
  SPEAKER_03: Onyx Accord.
• 1:11:54
  SPEAKER_03: Or there.
• 1:11:56
  SPEAKER_03: Arlegia.
• 1:11:57
  SPEAKER_03: And she's here?
• 1:11:58
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 1:12:00
  SPEAKER_02: Where's Malachi?
• 1:12:03
  SPEAKER_03: General Malachi is...
• 1:12:07
  SPEAKER_03: Over here in the city of Keldis.
• 1:12:11
  SPEAKER_03: The only place that would definitely have some form of support.
• 1:12:24
  SPEAKER_02: What do you guys think?
• 1:12:34
  SPEAKER_02: What's your plan?
• 1:12:37
  SPEAKER_02: How'd they get in here?
• 1:12:42
  SPEAKER_03: Well, Ren has no idea who was behind the attacks.
• 1:12:56
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, do you?
• 1:12:57
  SPEAKER_02: Because... I don't know how we're gonna...
• 1:13:09
  SPEAKER_03: What is your guys' opinion on being triple agents?
• 1:13:15
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 1:13:18
  SPEAKER_02: Well... Are they paying us?
• 1:13:22
  SPEAKER_02: Like three times the amount?
• 1:13:25
  SPEAKER_02: Remember, the hooded figure would like us to work for him.
• 1:13:31
  SPEAKER_02: If I'm getting paid three times for the same amount of work I'm in...
• 1:13:39
  SPEAKER_01: Did you have any prior leads before you met us?
• 1:13:48
  SPEAKER_02: Remember, did I?
• 1:13:50
  You were sent false leads by the Onyx Record leadership because
• 1:13:54
  they had already
• 1:13:54
  SPEAKER_03: taken out your killers.
• 1:13:57
  SPEAKER_03: Stealthily and secretly.
• 1:13:59
  But your false leads turned into a real lead when you found
• 1:14:02
  more Sniffleshade.
• 1:14:03
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:14:04
  SPEAKER_03: So not really.
• 1:14:07
  SPEAKER_03: Not on who hired your...
• 1:14:10
  assailants no where the civil shit comes from oh you don't have
• 1:14:14
  any leads on that
• 1:14:15

• 1:14:20
  attempted coup and you were like fuck now i have a band of

  SPEAKER_03: seeing how the,
• 1:15:00
  SPEAKER_03: uh,

  Well,
• 1:15:12
  the Grey Breezes are just kind of trying to make everybody
• 1:15:18
  comfortable.
• 1:15:20
  SPEAKER_03: The Sues kind of took over mayoral role over the refugees.
• 1:15:33
  SPEAKER_03: They're the ones currently speaking with my father.
• 1:15:42
  SPEAKER_03: They're fine.
• 1:15:43
  SPEAKER_03: They got here safe.
• 1:15:44
  They were a little delayed as per your original timeline for
• 1:15:48
  them getting here,
• 1:15:49
  SPEAKER_03: but I assume that had something to do with blockade.
• 1:15:52
  SPEAKER_03: Tire's good?
• 1:15:57
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, she is.
• 1:15:58
  SPEAKER_03: She is currently shoring up our arcane defenses.
• 1:16:05
  SPEAKER_03: For the record, you should be doing that yourself.
• 1:16:09
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, I was.
• 1:16:11
  Until I was told by a messenger that I had a call and that my
• 1:16:16
  captain was dealing with it.
• 1:16:17
  SPEAKER_03: You need a new captain.
• 1:16:23
  SPEAKER_03: The other one died.
• 1:16:26
  SPEAKER_02: Get a better one.
• 1:16:28
  SPEAKER_02: In battle?
• 1:16:28
  SPEAKER_03: Does a bullet to the face count as in battle?
• 1:16:35
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 1:16:37
  But,
• 1:16:37
  you know,
• 1:16:38
  I assume that even in times of strife,
• 1:16:40
  people die of,
• 1:16:41
  like,
• 1:16:41
  cancer.
• 1:16:45
  SPEAKER_03: No, he was shot at.
• 1:16:48
  SPEAKER_03: If he was unarmed, then no, it wasn't in battle.
• 1:16:52
  SPEAKER_03: No, he was armed.
• 1:16:53
  SPEAKER_03: It'd be different if he was shot while having his morning cereal.
• 1:16:56
  SPEAKER_03: He was on duty.
• 1:16:59
  SPEAKER_03: Shot in the line of duty, then.
• 1:17:08
  SPEAKER_03: Anyway,
• 1:17:10
  contact me again if you find a teleportation circle and I will
• 1:17:16
  try to get you safe
• 1:17:16
  SPEAKER_03: passage through wherever I can.
• 1:17:25
  SPEAKER_03: Or let me know where you plan to head off to.
• 1:17:31
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, ma'am.
• 1:17:32
  SPEAKER_03: To go deal with another potential riot.
• 1:17:38
  SPEAKER_02: Keep an eye on your parents.
• 1:17:41
  SPEAKER_03: They'll be fine.
• 1:17:44
  SPEAKER_02: This place is full of stuff.
• 1:17:46
  SPEAKER_02: We're bound to find a teleportation circle somewhere.
• 1:17:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, really.
• 1:17:53
  SPEAKER_03: Uh,
• 1:17:53
  SPEAKER_03: Joaquim,
• 1:17:54
  SPEAKER_03: you would specifically remember that Belfast said there was an old,
• 1:17:57
  SPEAKER_03: outdated teleportation circle in here.
• 1:18:02
  SPEAKER_03: He didn't tell me where it was, though, did he?
• 1:18:05
  SPEAKER_02: We can find it.
• 1:18:07
  SPEAKER_03: Somewhere in...
• 1:18:09
  this area so we got to make sure his corpse isn't just you know
• 1:18:13
  somewhere around
• 1:18:13
  here and they're trying to hold us ransom over some friends
• 1:18:17

• 1:18:17

  SPEAKER_02: because yeah and why am i selecting uh
• 1:18:36
  SPEAKER_02: The bird and the child as well.
• 1:18:39
  SPEAKER_02: Weird.
• 1:18:40
  SPEAKER_02: No lie.
• 1:18:42
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 1:18:43
  SPEAKER_02: And here you go.
• 1:18:46
  SPEAKER_01: Into here.
• 1:18:47
  SPEAKER_01: Do I sense anything?
• 1:18:55
  SPEAKER_03: Make an arcana check.
• 1:18:59
  SPEAKER_03: Even with detect magic up, it would be difficult to sense.
• 1:19:04
  SPEAKER_01: I am going to use
• 1:19:11
  SPEAKER_01: A luck to roll this at advantage.
• 1:19:26
  SPEAKER_03: Do you have lucky?
• 1:19:28
  SPEAKER_01: 22.
• 1:19:34
  SPEAKER_01: What happened?
• 1:19:36
  SPEAKER_03: I didn't know if you had lucky.
• 1:19:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:19:41
  SPEAKER_03: You already had Lucky.
• 1:19:43
  That was one of the feats you were talking about earlier,
• 1:19:44
  but you already had it.
• 1:19:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 1:19:49
  At 22,
• 1:19:50
  you do sense the faint sense of transportation magic underneath
• 1:19:55
  all this wooden stuff.
• 1:20:04
  SPEAKER_01: Can you guys help me?
• 1:20:04
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 1:20:10
  SPEAKER_02: Did you find the corpse?
• 1:20:13
  SPEAKER_02: I found something.
• 1:20:14
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's down here maybe.
• 1:20:16
  SPEAKER_03: And he starts clearing off the rubble.
• 1:20:24
  SPEAKER_02: Give me a hand over here.
• 1:20:25
  SPEAKER_02: Is it rubble or is it just old boxes of storage?
• 1:20:30
  SPEAKER_02: It's nonsense.
• 1:20:32
  SPEAKER_02: It's in the way.
• 1:20:34
  SPEAKER_02: She'll help move stuff.
• 1:20:40
  SPEAKER_03: Most of these crates are light because they're empty.
• 1:20:42
  SPEAKER_03: There's nothing in any of them.
• 1:20:45
  SPEAKER_02: Why does he have empty... You know what?
• 1:20:47
  SPEAKER_02: That's not my concern.
• 1:20:49
  SPEAKER_01: I think it was just to hide the circle.
• 1:20:53
  SPEAKER_01: If there is one here.
• 1:20:56
  SPEAKER_01: There's something down there.
• 1:21:00
  SPEAKER_02: I do want to hide a circle in your own hideout.
• 1:21:03
  SPEAKER_02: It's already a hideout.
• 1:21:06
  SPEAKER_01: You know what?
• 1:21:07
  SPEAKER_01: I'm done with this.
• 1:21:08
  SPEAKER_01: I've already done too much work.
• 1:21:11
  SPEAKER_01: We're gonna take a step back.
• 1:21:21
  SPEAKER_00: If the teleportation area isn't clear,
• 1:21:24
  SPEAKER_00: would that break the connection and make it so the pathway isn't open?
• 1:21:28
  SPEAKER_00: Is that why maybe you did it?
• 1:21:30
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, no.
• 1:21:32
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe.
• 1:21:35
  SPEAKER_01: DM, I still have one shadow, right?
• 1:21:40
  SPEAKER_03: You have two shadows.
• 1:21:42
  SPEAKER_01: Where do I see how many I have currently?
• 1:21:47
  SPEAKER_03: You just need to keep note of it in your notes.
• 1:21:50
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 1:21:51
  SPEAKER_03: There's no tracker on your thing.
• 1:21:55
  SPEAKER_01: So then two shadows currently.
• 1:21:58
  SPEAKER_01: As he walks away, he's going to snap his fingers.
• 1:22:01
  I'm going to shadow,
• 1:22:04
  and he'll have that shadow continue to clear rubble and box
• 1:22:08
  away.
• 1:22:32
  SPEAKER_03: You just see empty wooden planks on the floor.
• 1:22:35
  SPEAKER_03: This is after everything's cleared away?
• 1:22:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 1:22:47
  SPEAKER_00: So no teleportation circle currently?
• 1:22:51
  SPEAKER_03: Not that you see.
• 1:22:52
  Usually when there's a teleportation circle,
• 1:22:54
  there's glowing glyphs on the ground.
• 1:22:56
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but I guess I'm still sensing something with my arcana check.
• 1:23:02
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 1:23:04
  SPEAKER_03: Where am I sensing it?
• 1:23:08
  SPEAKER_02: You could move the planks.
• 1:23:10
  SPEAKER_03: The wooden plank area.
• 1:23:11
  Yeah.
• 1:23:13
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:23:15
  SPEAKER_03: You can do that.
• 1:23:16
  SPEAKER_03: You can absolutely do that.
• 1:23:18
  SPEAKER_03: And he'll snap fingers.
• 1:23:20
  SPEAKER_03: Huh?
• 1:23:21
  SPEAKER_03: I don't have one.
• 1:23:22
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe I do?
• 1:23:23
  SPEAKER_03: I think I have a crowbar.
• 1:23:26
  SPEAKER_03: Either way.
• 1:23:26
  SPEAKER_03: And he snaps his fingers at the shadow.
• 1:23:29
  SPEAKER_01: Good thing.
• 1:23:31
  SPEAKER_01: And the shadow would try and pull up planks.
• 1:23:40
  SPEAKER_03: I'd say it takes you all a while.
• 1:23:44
  most of the morning,
• 1:23:46
  but you do remodel this area and pull the planks up.
• 1:23:53
  SPEAKER_03: If Lala asked for a crowbar, I would have loaned her my crowbar.
• 1:23:58
  SPEAKER_02: You just have a crowbar on you?
• 1:24:00
  SPEAKER_01: I do.
• 1:24:04
  SPEAKER_02: That is very silly.
• 1:24:10
  SPEAKER_02: It's a tool.
• 1:24:12
  SPEAKER_02: It does things.
• 1:24:20
  As you guys finish pulling up all these planks,
• 1:24:25
  we are going to go to break.
• 1:24:28
  SPEAKER_03: Thank you all so much for tuning in thus far.
• 1:24:32
  We will be back here momentarily and return with what is
• 1:24:36
  revealed underneath the wooden planks.
• 1:24:39
  SPEAKER_01: I wanted to know what was under there.
• 1:24:42
  SPEAKER_02: What is revealed?
• 1:24:43
  SPEAKER_03: Come on back.
• 1:24:46
  SPEAKER_03: We'll see you all shortly.
• 1:24:52
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, hi.
• 1:24:53
  SPEAKER_03: Nice to see you there.
• 1:24:54
  SPEAKER_03: Thanks for stopping by and enjoying the show.
• 1:24:57
  SPEAKER_03: You can support us further by leaving a like and review.
• 1:25:00
  SPEAKER_03: Spread the fun by sharing with your friends.
• 1:25:03
  SPEAKER_03: We're sure they'll have a good time.
• 1:25:05
  You can also help us by heading over to our Substack at
• 1:25:08
  chaoticallybalanced.com
• 1:25:10
  forward slash support linked in the description below and
• 1:25:14
  seeing what exclusive
• 1:25:15
  SPEAKER_03: content is available to you.
• 1:25:17
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 1:25:18
  SPEAKER_03: It's time to get back into the adventure.
• 1:25:26
  SPEAKER_03: And welcome back.
• 1:25:29
  SPEAKER_03: We left off with the secondhand souls moving a bunch of debris,
• 1:25:37
  SPEAKER_03: not really debris,
• 1:25:39
  more like empty crates and things from this mysterious wooden
• 1:25:45
  plant area in an
• 1:25:46
  SPEAKER_03: otherwise stone floored room.
• 1:25:50
  SPEAKER_03: And then
• 1:25:51
  Joaquin gave Lala a crowbar and they proceeded to break up the
• 1:25:55
  floor panels to see
• 1:25:56
  SPEAKER_03: what was underneath these wooden floor panels.
• 1:26:00
  SPEAKER_03: And we're going to pick back up there.
• 1:26:02
  SPEAKER_03: It seems to be an unfinished or partially ruined teleportation circle.
• 1:26:22
  SPEAKER_03: Joachim,
• 1:26:22
  SPEAKER_03: you can see the faint etchings of glyphs around the outside,
• 1:26:29
  SPEAKER_03: but some of them are missing,
• 1:26:30
  SPEAKER_03: like there's huge chunks of circle missing in various places.
• 1:26:39
  SPEAKER_02: Would I be able to make any sort of check to try and complete it?
• 1:26:50
  SPEAKER_03: It would probably be challenging, but you could.
• 1:26:53
  SPEAKER_02: All right, I'm going to consider that.
• 1:26:58
  SPEAKER_03: Super challenging, but a little challenging.
• 1:27:04
  SPEAKER_02: All right, I'm going to consider that.
• 1:27:07
  SPEAKER_02: You use your magics, and I can use my very steady paws.
• 1:27:16
  SPEAKER_01: I guess I would try to intuit based on...
• 1:27:19
  SPEAKER_01: my innate magical understanding and the way the glyphs are arranged.
• 1:27:27
  SPEAKER_03: Do you have... You don't really have any teleportation spells.
• 1:27:34
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 1:27:35
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I have Missy Step.
• 1:27:38
  SPEAKER_03: Do you?
• 1:27:39
  SPEAKER_03: I think I do.
• 1:27:42
  SPEAKER_03: That's what I was looking for.
• 1:27:43
  SPEAKER_03: To see if you had any, like, transportation spells.
• 1:27:51
  SPEAKER_01: There's also a shade warp.
• 1:27:55
  SPEAKER_03: It's not your spell.
• 1:28:01
  SPEAKER_03: I do utilize it.
• 1:28:04
  SPEAKER_03: You do?
• 1:28:05
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe you could ask the demon for help.
• 1:28:12
  SPEAKER_03: So a possibility?
• 1:28:13
  SPEAKER_02: I don't like talking to them, but
• 1:28:23
  SPEAKER_02: You let him live inside your soul that you don't like talking to.
• 1:28:27
  SPEAKER_02: It's more the book.
• 1:28:30
  SPEAKER_02: It's a connection to the book.
• 1:28:32
  SPEAKER_02: Either way,
• 1:28:34
  SPEAKER_02: I will...
• 1:28:35
  So Joachim will kind of close his eyes and kind of attune
• 1:28:44
  mentally to the book.
• 1:28:47
  SPEAKER_01: And I guess when he does that, he opens his eyes back up.
• 1:28:50
  SPEAKER_01: They're all, like, full ink black.
• 1:28:53
  SPEAKER_03: And he would try and contact... So, Ganoth?
• 1:29:08
  SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
• 1:29:10
  How are you...
• 1:29:15
  SPEAKER_03: reaching out to him in your mind?
• 1:29:26
  SPEAKER_01: Again, so I kind of close my eyes.
• 1:29:29
  And again,
• 1:29:30
  we'll all see like pinky black in his eyes and kind of go
• 1:29:35
  there.
• 1:29:36
  And his own shadow starts to kind of ebb and flow and like
• 1:29:43
  pendrils come out a little bit.
• 1:29:45
  SPEAKER_01: And in his mind,
• 1:29:45
  he starts kind of like falling down and then just kind of hits
• 1:29:52
  the ground and it's
• 1:29:52
  SPEAKER_01: kind of like a,
• 1:29:55
  SPEAKER_02: I guess it would be like all black and it's like,
• 1:30:03
  SPEAKER_02: like he lands in like a liquid and it's like up to his skin.
• 1:30:09
  SPEAKER_01: And once he's there, he kind of looks around and
• 1:30:14
  SPEAKER_01: calls out to Zogan.
• 1:30:17
  SPEAKER_03: Almost like the black blood from Soul Eater.
• 1:30:23
  SPEAKER_01: That is fair.
• 1:30:25
  SPEAKER_03: That's kind of the imagery,
• 1:30:27
  SPEAKER_03: like an inky black pool,
• 1:30:30
  but not quite deep enough to be submerged in unless you kind of
• 1:30:34
  put your head under
• 1:30:35
  SPEAKER_03: it.
• 1:30:37
  SPEAKER_03: It's
• 1:30:39
  Because it's in your mind,
• 1:30:40
  it feels thick and viscous,
• 1:30:41
  but it doesn't actually stick to you.
• 1:30:43
  SPEAKER_03: Like, if you stand up, it just kind of sloshes off of you.
• 1:30:47
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 1:30:48
  And you just hear this sinister laughter with two red eyes in
• 1:30:58
  front of you,
• 1:30:58
  and then there's various sets of red eyes all around as the
• 1:31:04
  laughter echoes
• 1:31:06
  SPEAKER_03: throughout this
• 1:31:11
  SPEAKER_03: wall-less, empty space.
• 1:31:20
  SPEAKER_03: I knew, I knew you couldn't stay away.
• 1:31:26
  SPEAKER_03: You've been utilizing my powers,
• 1:31:28
  SPEAKER_03: but you haven't as much as come and said hi to me in quite some time.
• 1:31:36
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't realize that was part of our agreement.
• 1:31:39
  SPEAKER_03: Was not, but a friendly hello should be.
• 1:31:46
  SPEAKER_03: Gestured to once in a while.
• 1:31:51
  SPEAKER_01: I'll remember that you like to be waved at.
• 1:31:59
  SPEAKER_01: In addition to taking souls, right?
• 1:32:02
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, the souls are delicious.
• 1:32:04
  SPEAKER_03: That's why I've been amicable.
• 1:32:11
  SPEAKER_03: You've taken plenty of souls.
• 1:32:16
  SPEAKER_03: We have an arrangement.
• 1:32:19
  SPEAKER_03: I do have a question.
• 1:32:20
  SPEAKER_03: Now, what bargain can we strike today?
• 1:32:28
  SPEAKER_02: There's an unfinished magic circle here.
• 1:32:31
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not sure that I can figure out how to finish it off.
• 1:32:39
  SPEAKER_01: Not my area.
• 1:32:41
  SPEAKER_01: I'm wondering if you can perhaps guide me a bit in this.
• 1:32:48
  SPEAKER_03: You would like access to advanced magic.
• 1:32:57
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe a one-off.
• 1:32:59
  SPEAKER_03: Magic.
• 1:33:00
  SPEAKER_03: A one-off.
• 1:33:01
  SPEAKER_03: You don't want permanent access to it?
• 1:33:04
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like your price would be too steep for them.
• 1:33:17
  SPEAKER_03: For reference, Teleportation Circle is only a 5th level spell.
• 1:33:23
  Okay,
• 1:33:23
  I thought it was more...
• 1:33:25
  So did I.
• 1:33:26
  I thought it was like 8th or 9th.
• 1:33:28
  SPEAKER_03: But that's what I was looking up.
• 1:33:30
  SPEAKER_03: What actually... What spell is Teleportation Circle?
• 1:33:37
  SPEAKER_03: Well... It's up to you if you would just like a...
• 1:33:43
  SPEAKER_03: one-time assistance.
• 1:33:49
  Well,
• 1:33:49
  I mean,
• 1:33:51
  this is a useful bit of magic,
• 1:33:53
  so...
• 1:33:55
  Again,
• 1:33:55
  what would you like?
• 1:33:57
  SPEAKER_01: It did say you want to strike a bargain, so talk to me.
• 1:34:03
  SPEAKER_01: I can haggle.
• 1:34:03
  SPEAKER_03: Do you want a more permanent access to such a spell?
• 1:34:19
  SPEAKER_00: That could be useful, yeah.
• 1:34:26
  SPEAKER_03: I'd give you options and see how you feel about it.
• 1:34:42
  SPEAKER_03: Let's see.
• 1:34:43
  SPEAKER_03: As per...
• 1:34:53
  SPEAKER_03: Our current terms.
• 1:34:55
  SPEAKER_03: I cannot ask you to harm the innocent.
• 1:35:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Joaquin says nothing.
• 1:35:08
  SPEAKER_01: He's just looking at the eyes right now.
• 1:35:14
  SPEAKER_03: This voice is echoing throughout this chamberless space.
• 1:35:21
  SPEAKER_03: Doesn't seem possible because it has nothing to echo off of.
• 1:35:31
  SPEAKER_03: I could give you some meager one-time support.
• 1:35:43
  SPEAKER_03: And in exchange for this singular one-time support,
• 1:35:48
  SPEAKER_03: I would need you to put my brand on an individual of your choosing.
• 1:36:07
  SPEAKER_02: Your symbol?
• 1:36:09
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 1:36:12
  SPEAKER_01: How would I
• 1:36:14
  SPEAKER_01: How would I need to administer this?
• 1:36:17
  You just put your hand on the target individual and you give me
• 1:36:23
  the signal and I'll brand them.
• 1:36:28
  SPEAKER_02: And what does this brand do?
• 1:36:30
  If their soul were to traverse the lower planes instead of the
• 1:36:40
  upper ones...
• 1:36:42
  SPEAKER_03: It would be marked as property of Zilganoth.
• 1:36:53
  SPEAKER_02: So, marking your property.
• 1:36:55
  SPEAKER_03: Only if it traverses the lower planes.
• 1:36:57
  SPEAKER_03: If your soul ends up going to the upper planes, I have no claim to it.
• 1:37:06
  SPEAKER_02: And what about on a more permanent basis?
• 1:37:08
  SPEAKER_03: On a more permanent basis, my...
• 1:37:14
  So to go up a little bit,
• 1:37:17
  in addition to branding an individual of your choosing.
• 1:37:27
  SPEAKER_03: And this brand would have to be done within the next.
• 1:37:32
  SPEAKER_03: I give you a day.
• 1:37:33
  SPEAKER_03: You have plenty of individuals here to choose from,
• 1:37:36
  SPEAKER_03: including one that is missing a couple limbs.
• 1:37:43
  In addition to this branding,
• 1:37:45
  I would also require you to take out a certain target for me.
• 1:37:58
  SPEAKER_03: Now,
• 1:37:58
  SPEAKER_03: the time limit on taking out this target is unlimited,
• 1:38:01
  SPEAKER_03: because I don't even know where he is.
• 1:38:14
  SPEAKER_03: Who is this target?
• 1:38:15
  SPEAKER_03: I'll also throw in that on taking out this target,
• 1:38:20
  SPEAKER_03: I would grant you some additional undisclosed powers.
• 1:38:27
  SPEAKER_01: I ask again, who is your target?
• 1:38:33
  SPEAKER_03: Someone that goes by the moniker of the Undying Slaver.
• 1:38:42
  SPEAKER_01: The Undying Slaver?
• 1:38:45
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 1:38:48
  SPEAKER_01: How would I know to find this person?
• 1:38:54
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not sure if he's more of a person or a thing.
• 1:39:00
  But...
• 1:39:04
  Wherever he is,
• 1:39:08
  there will be heavy necromantic and cultist activity.
• 1:39:20
  the undying slave I mean you could have me going all over the
• 1:39:27
  world do you have any
• 1:39:30
  can you point me in the right direction if I could do that I
• 1:39:34
  wouldn't have you have
• 1:39:38
  SPEAKER_03: him as a target
• 1:39:45
  SPEAKER_03: I will say this.
• 1:39:46
  The last time that I had a companion of mine run into him was
• 1:40:02
  somewhere around the
• 1:40:07
  SPEAKER_03: volcanic lake of Brawl in the middle of
• 1:40:14
  SPEAKER_03: the kingdom of Eshania.
• 1:40:16
  SPEAKER_01: Making notes.
• 1:40:24
  SPEAKER_01: Why is it not going to need to?
• 1:40:47
  Do I have to actually be in my...
• 1:40:51
  No,
• 1:40:52
  I'm just going to make notes later.
• 1:40:54
  SPEAKER_03: Um, okay.
• 1:40:56
  SPEAKER_03: I threw it in the chat.
• 1:40:59
  SPEAKER_03: Thank you.
• 1:41:00
  SPEAKER_03: Thank you.
• 1:41:12
  Is there anything that you can tell more that you can tell me
• 1:41:14
  about this undying slaver?
• 1:41:19
  Legend states he used to be a famous general during the
• 1:41:23
  primordial devastation and
• 1:41:24
  SPEAKER_03: then he disappeared.
• 1:41:29
  SPEAKER_03: Coming back only as to be known as the undying slaver.
• 1:41:41
  He was a well-respected and well-renowned general from what the
• 1:41:45
  history books say,
• 1:41:46
  SPEAKER_03: but something happened and he became corrupted and reborn.
• 1:42:05
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think we'll ever come into contact with this.
• 1:42:11
  SPEAKER_02: Pretty sure we already have.
• 1:42:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, too.
• 1:42:13
  SPEAKER_02: Above table.
• 1:42:16
  SPEAKER_02: Sorry, above table.
• 1:42:17
  SPEAKER_02: Say that again.
• 1:42:20
  SPEAKER_02: Is it above table?
• 1:42:21
  SPEAKER_02: Pretty sure we already have.
• 1:42:23
  It sounds like it might be that guy that we ended up having to
• 1:42:26
  kind of bargain with
• 1:42:27
  SPEAKER_02: and run away from because of his power suit being Iron Man levels.
• 1:42:34
  SPEAKER_02: We saved some of the slaves, but not all of them ringing a bell.
• 1:42:39
  SPEAKER_03: No, that dude was just a pirate.
• 1:42:42
  SPEAKER_01: It feels a little bit crazy for an undying slaver to be in an Iron Man.
• 1:42:48
  SPEAKER_01: I just feel like he would be more gassed.
• 1:42:50
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, what better way to be undying?
• 1:42:55
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, never mind then.
• 1:42:56
  SPEAKER_02: Apparently I am misinterpreted.
• 1:43:00
  SPEAKER_03: It was a good thought.
• 1:43:03
  SPEAKER_03: It was a good thought.
• 1:43:04
  SPEAKER_03: That dude was just a very powerful dude in a
• 1:43:08
  SPEAKER_03: very customized power suit.
• 1:43:11
  SPEAKER_01: With the new artificer, that's absolutely a thing.
• 1:43:14
  SPEAKER_02: You could have an undead zombie lich artificer.
• 1:43:21
  SPEAKER_02: I think undying and undead are fairly different.
• 1:43:27
  SPEAKER_01: Apologies, but yes.
• 1:43:39
  now if you make the best effort to hunt down this individual
• 1:43:47
  even if you don't get
• 1:43:48
  to him if as long as you feed me further information in my
• 1:43:52
  quest to eliminate him
• 1:43:58
  SPEAKER_03: from being that would also suffice
• 1:44:06
  The extra undisclosed powers that I would grant you only come
• 1:44:10
  if you end up being
• 1:44:11
  SPEAKER_03: the one that takes him out.
• 1:44:18
  SPEAKER_01: You mean the one that I kill him or that I turn him into a shadow for?
• 1:44:24
  SPEAKER_03: Either or.
• 1:44:26
  SPEAKER_03: Either way, he stops existing with his own autonomy.
• 1:44:39
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna accept your offer for the second one.
• 1:44:44
  SPEAKER_01: I'll look for this Undying Slaver.
• 1:44:48
  SPEAKER_03: Well then, next... Let's see.
• 1:44:55
  SPEAKER_03: I will update your contract.
• 1:44:59
  SPEAKER_03: However...
• 1:45:13
  article 1 section 4 addendum 2 the patron grants the vassal
• 1:45:24
  permanent daily use of
• 1:45:28
  SPEAKER_03: teleportation circle in exchange
• 1:45:34
  for the patron branding an individual within the next 24 hours
• 1:45:41
  as of this addition
• 1:45:45
  to the pact and the patron agrees to make their best effort in
• 1:45:52
  hunting down this
• 1:45:53
  SPEAKER_03: undying slaver
• 1:46:05
  I will officially update that and send out the updated
• 1:46:09
  agreement after the session.
• 1:46:13
  SPEAKER_03: But you... I do enjoy our conversations when you reach out.
• 1:46:27
  SPEAKER_01: I can't say that it's going to be so frequent, but we'll talk again.
• 1:46:39
  SPEAKER_03: First, I must grant you your new power.
• 1:46:44
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, I thought I already had it.
• 1:46:45
  SPEAKER_03: I'm sorry.
• 1:46:48
  You feel his eyes burn into your soul as you feel this...
• 1:46:53
  internal searing for a second.
• 1:46:56
  SPEAKER_01: Ow!
• 1:46:58
  SPEAKER_03: And then it's gone.
• 1:47:03
  SPEAKER_00: You do this thing.
• 1:47:07
  SPEAKER_03: I granted you...
• 1:47:09
  SPEAKER_03: A piece of my power.
• 1:47:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, I appreciate the help.
• 1:47:23
  SPEAKER_01: And we have another bargain.
• 1:47:26
  SPEAKER_03: We do.
• 1:47:29
  SPEAKER_03: Now go.
• 1:47:31
  SPEAKER_03: Before I add more conditions.
• 1:47:36
  SPEAKER_03: And then I guess he'd be like shunted out.
• 1:47:39
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 1:47:41
  SPEAKER_03: Aggressively.
• 1:47:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 1:47:44
  So then you would see kind of Joaquin take a step backwards and
• 1:47:51
  then shake his head
• 1:47:52
  and his eyes will return to normal and no more like inky black
• 1:47:56
  shadowy stuff.
• 1:48:00
  SPEAKER_01: And then he's going to look around.
• 1:48:01
  SPEAKER_01: He's going to look down at the teleportation circle.
• 1:48:07
  And in his own mind,
• 1:48:08
  he'll just kind of see the missing pieces and how it needs to
• 1:48:14
  be finished.
• 1:48:16
  SPEAKER_02: So he will do that.
• 1:48:20
  SPEAKER_00: Leave the circle.
• 1:48:24
  SPEAKER_02: Excellent.
• 1:48:25
  While you work on that,
• 1:48:26
  we will make traveling snacks and check for extra clues.
• 1:48:33
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it will take you some time.
• 1:48:35
  SPEAKER_03: Looking just to fill in the missing pieces?
• 1:48:40
  SPEAKER_03: Yep.
• 1:48:44
  SPEAKER_03: You're not second-guessing yourself.
• 1:48:45
  SPEAKER_03: You know exactly what needs to go where.
• 1:48:47
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 1:48:51
  SPEAKER_01: It's unnatural how easily it comes to him.
• 1:48:57
  SPEAKER_01: It's almost like somebody's whispering into his ear.
• 1:48:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:49:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, food is a good idea.
• 1:49:06
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna... I'm gonna go do my thing and get her some food.
• 1:49:15
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, Krakka and whoever is going with Krakka.
• 1:49:20
  No one's checked on Puppyfish,
• 1:49:22
  Lala,
• 1:49:22
  since you told Puppyfish to go eat food.
• 1:49:29
  SPEAKER_02: I'm sure he's probably gotten into a potato cabinet somewhere and
• 1:49:34
  SPEAKER_02: eaten himself into a farmer's field.
• 1:49:37
  SPEAKER_02: It's fine.
• 1:49:37
  SPEAKER_02: He's fine.
• 1:49:40
  SPEAKER_03: Krakka,
• 1:49:40
  as you walk through the mess hall and the brewery room and then
• 1:49:47
  the kitchen,
• 1:49:49
  SPEAKER_03: there's just a slime trail and stuff is all over the place.
• 1:49:54
  SPEAKER_03: And in the kitchen,
• 1:49:54
  SPEAKER_03: you just see Puppyfish passed out,
• 1:49:58
  SPEAKER_03: laying on its back,
• 1:49:59
  SPEAKER_03: spread out on the floor.
• 1:50:01
  SPEAKER_03: Half a potato sticking out of its mouth.
• 1:50:10
  SPEAKER_00: Well, at least he's full.
• 1:50:15
  SPEAKER_02: I'm happy.
• 1:50:18
  SPEAKER_00: Fat and happy, that was a good thing.
• 1:50:25
  SPEAKER_00: What do we have left that he didn't throw on the floor?
• 1:50:35
  SPEAKER_03: You have plenty of stuff left.
• 1:50:36
  SPEAKER_03: It looks like you just got into a couple of stacks of root vegetables.
• 1:50:50
  SPEAKER_03: Hey guys,
• 1:50:51
  SPEAKER_03: quick reminder to leave a like,
• 1:50:54
  SPEAKER_03: a comment,
• 1:50:55
  SPEAKER_03: and don't forget to follow or subscribe to us.
• 1:50:58
  SPEAKER_03: Thanks!
• 1:50:59
  SPEAKER_00: ...some kind of like... ...to-go rap.
• 1:51:05
  SPEAKER_01: for all of us probably like a breakfast wrap so eggs,
• 1:51:20
  SPEAKER_00: cheese,
• 1:51:21
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 1:51:21
  SPEAKER_00: meat if there's any peppers or anything maybe
• 1:51:36
  SPEAKER_01: Then when I'm on the way back through,
• 1:51:38
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to stop and check on my experiment in the brewery.
• 1:51:44
  SPEAKER_00: See how my alcohol came out.
• 1:51:54
  So you get some stuff going for your wraps and then checking on
• 1:52:01
  the brewery stuff.
• 1:52:03
  SPEAKER_03: It's looking pretty good.
• 1:52:07
  SPEAKER_03: It's only been a day, so it's not ready yet, but it looks good.
• 1:52:18
  My first one I didn't get to check on because it's itty bitty
• 1:52:22
  bitty bitty bitty
• 1:52:22
  SPEAKER_03: tiny in the little ship we have.
• 1:52:25
  SPEAKER_01: So a little antsy.
• 1:52:28
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but it's fine.
• 1:52:29
  SPEAKER_01: I heard that I'll just
• 1:52:38
  SPEAKER_01: Burn the food out whenever it's done.
• 1:52:41
  SPEAKER_03: Takes a little bit, but it gets done.
• 1:52:54
  Yep.
• 1:52:54
  Yep.
• 1:53:05
  SPEAKER_03: Is anyone doing anything else while Wakim is... finishing the circle?
• 1:53:12
  SPEAKER_02: Mine and that still is not Wakim,
• 1:53:14
  SPEAKER_02: but I will probably drag Ymir with me to look and see if we can...
• 1:53:19
  SPEAKER_02: cork any more clues,
• 1:53:21
  SPEAKER_02: or if we can find where people broke in.
• 1:53:23
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'll go with.
• 1:53:31
  SPEAKER_03: There are no signs of a break-in.
• 1:53:34
  SPEAKER_02: There was other doors that you were talking about, Theo?
• 1:53:38
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:53:40
  SPEAKER_02: Let's go look over there!
• 1:53:43
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, so Croc, I'd say you're still looking in stuff.
• 1:53:47
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, Wakeem is... And Wakeem, your shadow, can help you.
• 1:53:52
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, Lala... And you don't want to go over... Go over here.
• 1:53:57
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, so one door that's on the same wall that...
• 1:54:05
  SPEAKER_03: the door you accidentally lockpicked is on leads into a master bathroom.
• 1:54:19
  SPEAKER_02: Is there a tub?
• 1:54:22
  SPEAKER_03: There is.
• 1:54:24
  SPEAKER_03: Belfast is holding out on the king.
• 1:54:28
  SPEAKER_02: A suspicious tub.
• 1:54:31
  SPEAKER_03: But otherwise, no signs of a struggle or anything in the bathroom.
• 1:54:42
  SPEAKER_02: And that was it, right?
• 1:54:43
  SPEAKER_02: There was no other doors or anything.
• 1:54:46
  On the wall adjacent to the wall of the door you lockpick,
• 1:54:50
  there's a double door.
• 1:54:51
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 1:54:53
  SPEAKER_02: That one, then.
• 1:54:55
  SPEAKER_03: Is locked.
• 1:54:57
  SPEAKER_02: I will open it.
• 1:54:59
  SPEAKER_03: And make a sleight of hand check.
• 1:55:03
  SPEAKER_02: Work.
• 1:55:07
  god damn it today why today I will waste yet another
• 1:55:17
  inspiration 8 plus 8 16 this
• 1:55:29
  SPEAKER_03: one takes you a little longer but you do eventually get it open
• 1:55:38
  SPEAKER_02: Y'all better start rolling some 20s for me.
• 1:55:40
  SPEAKER_02: I need help.
• 1:55:44
  SPEAKER_03: Both you and Yanor smell the faint smell of... Blood is blood.
• 1:55:54
  SPEAKER_03: It's like... Musty.
• 1:56:02
  SPEAKER_03: Old smelling.
• 1:56:03
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:56:07
  SPEAKER_03: The smell of undeath.
• 1:56:09
  SPEAKER_02: The wine cellar.
• 1:56:19
  SPEAKER_03: You see drag marks in the dust of the hallway.
• 1:56:24
  SPEAKER_02: Why would he keep undead in here?
• 1:56:28
  SPEAKER_03: You also see a bit of shattered glass towards the middle of the hallway.
• 1:56:44
  And then,
• 1:56:48
  just past the middle of the hallway,
• 1:56:52
  the tracks end and just vanish.
• 1:56:59
  So,
• 1:57:00
  a bunch of undeads came in here,
• 1:57:05
  dragged him out,
• 1:57:07
  and then disappeared into dust.
• 1:57:14
  SPEAKER_00: Can I look in these boxes?
• 1:57:17
  SPEAKER_03: Sure.
• 1:57:20
  SPEAKER_03: Make an investigation check.
• 1:57:24
  SPEAKER_02: God knows I can't do it.
• 1:57:26
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, my map finally connected.
• 1:57:28
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my god!
• 1:57:37
  SPEAKER_03: Sixteen.
• 1:57:43
  SPEAKER_03: The boxes at the end of this hallway have been broken into.
• 1:57:47
  SPEAKER_02: They're empty.
• 1:57:49
  SPEAKER_02: Someone stole things before I could get to them!
• 1:57:54
  SPEAKER_02: The thief has been out-thieved.
• 1:57:57
  SPEAKER_02: It's starting to feel very personal, Yenor.
• 1:58:00
  SPEAKER_02: Very personal.
• 1:58:02
  SPEAKER_03: Well, he stole our friends.
• 1:58:04
  SPEAKER_03: And is trying to kill our other friends.
• 1:58:08
  SPEAKER_02: You keep using the word friends super loosely.
• 1:58:13
  SPEAKER_03: I'm friends with everybody.
• 1:58:14
  SPEAKER_03: Everybody loves me.
• 1:58:20
  SPEAKER_03: You're more likely to get information from your friends.
• 1:58:27
  SPEAKER_03: Friends have loose lips.
• 1:58:30
  SPEAKER_02: That's why I don't have any.
• 1:58:33
  SPEAKER_03: I'm your friend.
• 1:58:36
  SPEAKER_02: She kind of squints her eyes.
• 1:58:38
  SPEAKER_03: But you don't have to tell me anything.
• 1:58:42
  SPEAKER_02: We'll see about that.
• 1:58:44
  SPEAKER_02: Think of all the money I've given you.
• 1:58:49
  SPEAKER_02: The last thing that I just friend by is their money.
• 1:58:55
  SPEAKER_03: That's great.
• 1:58:56
  SPEAKER_03: I really don't have much of it.
• 1:58:59
  SPEAKER_02: Well, not even much if you keep giving it to me.
• 1:59:03
  SPEAKER_03: Listen, I have... It's full of money right now.
• 1:59:07
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:59:07
  SPEAKER_03: But it hasn't been appraised.
• 1:59:10
  SPEAKER_03: The money?
• 1:59:10
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:59:13
  SPEAKER_03: Some of it's just money.
• 1:59:15
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know how much.
• 1:59:16
  SPEAKER_02: Money doesn't require appraisal.
• 1:59:20
  Yeah,
• 1:59:21
  it says 95,000 gold worth of valuables from the vault in the
• 1:59:24
  library.
• 1:59:25
  SPEAKER_03: Gold pieces, platinum pieces, jewels, and gems.
• 1:59:28
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 1:59:29
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know how much it's actually worth.
• 1:59:36
  SPEAKER_02: I have many jewels as well.
• 1:59:43
  did we ever decide where we're going well it seems like the
• 1:59:55
  trouble is looking for
• 1:59:58
  the lantana family and i don't think it's gonna stop just
• 2:00:02
  because she kicked some
• 2:00:03
  SPEAKER_02: guards in the patoot so maybe run towards the fire
• 2:00:18
  SPEAKER_02: He would be there.
• 2:00:20
  SPEAKER_02: Or in the area, at least.
• 2:00:25
  SPEAKER_03: That's what the note says.
• 2:00:27
  SPEAKER_02: That was my thought.
• 2:00:32
  SPEAKER_02: That just seemed like he'd be smart.
• 2:00:40
  SPEAKER_02: We'll see if the others are on board.
• 2:00:45
  SPEAKER_03: Let's go find out what they're doing.
• 2:00:47
  Is there anything we can tell from these drag marks or what
• 2:00:51
  used to be in the boxes,
• 2:00:52
  perhaps?
• 2:00:53
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe they forgot the instruction manuals?
• 2:00:57
  SPEAKER_02: The shipping receipts?
• 2:01:06
  SPEAKER_03: Boxes were punched through.
• 2:01:11
  SPEAKER_03: Opened from the top.
• 2:01:14
  SPEAKER_02: They punched down into the boxes and took what was in.
• 2:01:20
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 2:01:20
  SPEAKER_03: There's some purple dust at the bottom of the boxes.
• 2:01:27
  SPEAKER_02: Them.
• 2:01:29
  SPEAKER_02: Them again.
• 2:01:31
