Transcript
- 0:30SPEAKER_15: Once a world of wonder and planar harmony, Ephia now stands teetering on the edge of ruin.
- 0:38SPEAKER_15: A century ago, a name was whispered into the darkness.
- 0:41SPEAKER_15: Astan the vile.
- 0:44SPEAKER_15: A cosmic entity with unspeakable madness, he devoured minds, shattered laws of reality, and nearly tore the veil between the realms.
- 0:52SPEAKER_15: It took every kingdom, every god, and every ounce of mortal will to seal him away.
- 1:00SPEAKER_15: In the aftermath, the ruling powers passed the Concord of Sealing, an absolute ban on interplanar travel.
- 1:07SPEAKER_15: No gates may open, no summoning may pass, no crossing of plains without death or exile, for the risk is far too great.
- 1:16SPEAKER_15: For the evil watches and it waits.
- 1:20SPEAKER_15: But now the veil has thinned.
- 1:23SPEAKER_15: They are traitors even in the midst of silvery moon, the main city of elves in Epherium.
- 1:30SPEAKER_15: And the wretched dawn, the three ancient hags who call themselves the sisters seek to break the Concord, open the interplanar gates, and let the evil that presides within into the world.
- 1:44SPEAKER_15: Portals bleed into skies, children disappear into the dark, and in every corner of Epherias, terror blooms like a cancer.
- 1:52SPEAKER_15: But amid the chaos, there is a spark.
- 1:56SPEAKER_15: A band of warriors, outcasts, and survivors who call themselves the Vanguard.
- 2:01SPEAKER_13: They are hunted, they are cursed, but they are Aphria's last and final hope.
- 2:08SPEAKER_13: For if they fail, the evil will rise again, and the world will plunge itself into madness.
- 2:27SPEAKER_15: So the group goes through the portal.
- 2:30SPEAKER_15: After a long battle and kind of a crazy couple of days, traipsing through the forest, battling an orc encampment, freeing a bunch of slaves, children's slaves, that who knows what their fate was.
- 2:48SPEAKER_15: Also freeing a well-known person to Oleander, Guy, whose past and intertwinement in this story and relationship we don't know yet.
- 3:02SPEAKER_15: We also freed Annalise, the sister of Rold.
- 3:08SPEAKER_15: Finding out after that that she has this ability to see the marks of those born under the blood moon, which we now know is the deciding factor in who seems to be getting marked for kidnapping.
- 3:29SPEAKER_15: The group brought all of the refugees back to Troublesome, which is a town in which the group has visited quite a bit, and managed to send the kids out with villagers and members of the local area and family that have decided to help and take part in aiding these refugees.
- 3:50SPEAKER_15: And then is now heading back to Crystalboro through a portal to try and continue on their trek northern.
- 4:02SPEAKER_15: So you guys walk through the you walk through the portal and bang.
- 4:08SPEAKER_15: You're right there.
- 4:09SPEAKER_15: It's early morning in Crystalboro.
- 4:12SPEAKER_33: Where in Crystalboro?
- 4:14SPEAKER_33: Because this would be an established circle.
- 4:16SPEAKER_15: Yeah, it's so it's an established circle and it's near the northern gates.
- 4:20SPEAKER_15: So it is outdoors, it's in an alleyway.
- 4:24SPEAKER_42: Is that near the estate then?
- 4:25SPEAKER_42: No, it's not near the estate.
- 4:26SPEAKER_15: It's not near the estate.
- 4:30SPEAKER_06: I put my hand on Jukin's shoulder.
- 4:34SPEAKER_06: I'm not feeling quite right.
- 4:36SPEAKER_06: I appreciate you staying your hand last night.
- 4:41SPEAKER_06: But if you could do me a favor, I'd rather be at my best stuck inside the city than not.
- 4:51SPEAKER_06: If you would, purge my blood.
- 4:54SPEAKER_06: I can do that.
- 4:55SPEAKER_06: I appreciate that.
- 4:56SPEAKER_34: Absolutely.
- 5:00SPEAKER_33: Do you have to roll if he's allowing it?
- 5:05SPEAKER_43: He's allowing it to do it now.
- 5:07SPEAKER_33: Okay.
- 5:08SPEAKER_33: Because he can choose to fail.
- 5:09SPEAKER_33: Okay.
- 5:16SPEAKER_06: I pause for a moment as you do it.
- 5:19SPEAKER_06: Hand to my knees as I as the strength leaves me.
- 5:24SPEAKER_06: He seems to be looking up and rubbing his head.
- 5:27SPEAKER_06: And I nod for a moment.
- 5:29SPEAKER_06: I pull my I pull my headgear back and take it off now that I'm not having to cover my eyes.
- 5:36SPEAKER_06: Anyone really observant in the area might notice my tattoo has grown up towards my ears now.
- 5:42SPEAKER_06: And it's spread.
- 5:45SPEAKER_06: Of course, uh, he thanks you as he rubs his brow.
- 5:49SPEAKER_06: I seem distracted.
- 5:51SPEAKER_34: Sorry, tap it on your shoulder and say, anytime.
- 5:56SPEAKER_06: I'm nodding to you.
- 5:58SPEAKER_02: It seems.
- 6:01SPEAKER_02: Have we done sending or communicated in advance of our arrival?
- 6:08SPEAKER_33: We contacted the captain last night when we got to troublesome that we had children and that we were worried that there would be a retributive attack, which I'm still worried about, but we did not tell them we were coming here because we didn't know we were coming here.
- 6:25SPEAKER_33: We should have checked out for sure.
- 6:28SPEAKER_33: Yeah, we would probably be better off doing that before um going elsewhere.
- 6:32SPEAKER_33: They did say that we were welcome back at the manor whenever we wanted to stay here though.
- 6:38SPEAKER_33: This is our second home.
- 6:40SPEAKER_27: It's only been a couple days since we were left here.
- 6:46SPEAKER_42: So we want to go see the captain then and check in there and then head to the manor quickly.
- 6:52SPEAKER_33: Speak to the steward.
- 7:00SPEAKER_42: Alright, let's go.
- 7:01SPEAKER_42: Yeah, let's go.
- 7:04SPEAKER_42: Okay.
- 7:04SPEAKER_32: Well, before we get going, um, because I'd rather tell you guys now before we tell the captain.
- 7:11SPEAKER_33: Um learn something about Ravenshade.
- 7:15SPEAKER_33: I just want to warn everyone.
- 7:16SPEAKER_33: Don't seek him out, don't engage.
- 7:20SPEAKER_33: I am 99% certain he is a actual capital D devil.
- 7:26SPEAKER_06: Devil?
- 7:27SPEAKER_06: I caught an eyebrow.
- 7:29SPEAKER_33: Don't seek him out, don't engage.
- 7:31SPEAKER_33: We cannot handle him right now.
- 7:33SPEAKER_06: Drax is Don't pick fights.
- 7:36SPEAKER_06: As she's saying that, in your head, Drax, you hear my voice just say to you, Oh, he is so on the list.
- 7:45SPEAKER_27: I don't know that we should tell the captain or not, because that might just be kicking a hornet's nest.
- 7:50SPEAKER_33: I think he's probably been here a while to be this well established.
- 7:55SPEAKER_03: Um If he's preying upon the citizens, we're not going to stand for it.
- 8:00SPEAKER_33: But if we out him, it might actually cause a lot more problems than whatever is currently going on.
- 8:09SPEAKER_42: Not really, it's not like we've seen him do anything really harsh or anything.
- 8:14SPEAKER_06: Aside from trying to get us killed and captured and betray us to try to steal a very important item.
- 8:21SPEAKER_06: No big deal at all.
- 8:22SPEAKER_27: I get the intro.
- 8:24SPEAKER_42: I meant to the people in general.
- 8:26SPEAKER_33: I feel like he was just taking advantage of a situation.
- 8:30SPEAKER_33: I don't think that was specifically targeted at us.
- 8:32SPEAKER_33: At least not right now, I don't think that.
- 8:34SPEAKER_33: Who knows?
- 8:35SPEAKER_27: You did what I cared about.
- 8:37SPEAKER_27: My point is simply that we don't seek him out.
- 8:40SPEAKER_33: And we if he seeks us out, don't engage hostily, please.
- 8:45SPEAKER_33: We have enough on our plate, and on that front, we have more than just him aware of us, so we should not travel anywhere alone while we're here.
- 8:55SPEAKER_33: We're better to stay off in groups.
- 8:59SPEAKER_31: Works for me.
- 9:02SPEAKER_33: Alright.
- 9:03SPEAKER_33: To the captain.
- 9:04SPEAKER_33: Away!
- 9:07SPEAKER_42: See if we should get the horses on yourself.
- 9:09SPEAKER_33: We do need some horses.
- 9:10SPEAKER_42: We definitely need horses on us.
- 9:11SPEAKER_33: Before we leave town again, we will.
- 9:13SPEAKER_42: I I need varn version too.
- 9:17SPEAKER_15: Alright, so you guys make your way back into the streets of Crystalboro.
- 9:22SPEAKER_15: Um, morning is just kind of getting going, it's starting to hustle and bustle.
- 9:26SPEAKER_15: You're seeing people come out of their homes.
- 9:28SPEAKER_15: There seems to be a unnerveness around the city based on what's happened in the last little while, but you can sense that the residents and the people that are living there are are attempting to get back to normal.
- 9:42SPEAKER_15: What's up?
- 9:43SPEAKER_33: I just had the thought.
- 9:44SPEAKER_33: There is an existing teleportation circle here in Bristolboro.
- 9:47SPEAKER_33: That's what we just came through.
- 9:49SPEAKER_33: Can I copy that down?
- 9:50SPEAKER_15: Yeah, if you want to.
- 9:51SPEAKER_33: For future use while we're there.
- 9:53SPEAKER_15: Yep.
- 9:56SPEAKER_33: How long does that take?
- 9:58SPEAKER_15: Uh that uh I do not know how long that would take.
- 10:01SPEAKER_15: Let's find out.
- 10:02SPEAKER_33: I feel like that wouldn't be a fast thing.
- 10:04SPEAKER_33: Well, I just make a note of it.
- 10:07SPEAKER_33: It might be something we have to come back to.
- 10:10SPEAKER_42: Okay.
- 10:11unknown: Yeah.
- 10:11SPEAKER_33: I would think that that would I I'm just assuming that that would take like an hour to make a properly detailed.
- 10:17SPEAKER_33: Which I can do at some point.
- 10:18SPEAKER_32: I just want to make a note of it.
- 10:20unknown: Yeah.
- 10:21SPEAKER_11: Uh we can certainly make this higher perfect.
- 10:27SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
- 10:27SPEAKER_15: So it's not a uh it's not a matter of it's not a matter of being able to copy it.
- 10:36SPEAKER_15: It's a matter of being able to homely attune to it and make it a permanent teleportation circle to you.
- 10:44SPEAKER_15: So you must cast a teleportation circle in the same location every day for one year.
- 10:48SPEAKER_27: That's to make a circle.
- 10:49SPEAKER_15: Yeah, that's to make a circle.
- 10:52SPEAKER_15: So but each day you must put okay, so let's just see where you stood to.
- 10:58SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 10:58SPEAKER_15: I don't think it doesn't have any rules on it, so I think that you can just learn it.
- 11:03SPEAKER_15: That's what I think of it.
- 11:06SPEAKER_33: Yeah, I think if you're at the circle, but if you're going to like another place, you'd have to memorize the I have a spell book, so I can copy it into my spellbook because when I would cast it in future, I need that sigil that I draw on the floor with the chalk and the ink to cast the teleportation to that circle.
- 11:24SPEAKER_15: You know what?
- 11:24SPEAKER_15: It's uh it's a brand new thing.
- 11:27SPEAKER_15: Let's roll on our counter check to see if you're successfully able to do it.
- 11:31SPEAKER_15: And I think that uh 12 is a reasonable amount.
- 11:34SPEAKER_15: What do you got then?
- 11:35SPEAKER_02: Uh as accor I as according to AI.
- 11:38SPEAKER_02: So take it with a grain of salt.
- 11:39SPEAKER_02: One minute.
- 11:40SPEAKER_02: There we go.
- 11:41SPEAKER_19: One minute.
- 11:42SPEAKER_33: I thought it was a minute to 12.
- 11:47SPEAKER_15: Let's uh yeah, let's do that.
- 11:48SPEAKER_15: Let's uh what is your arcana plus two?
- 11:51SPEAKER_32: Nine.
- 11:52SPEAKER_15: Nine?
- 11:52unknown: Nine.
- 11:53SPEAKER_32: So you get plus nine?
- 11:54SPEAKER_15: Okay, I think a 12 is totally reasonable.
- 11:57SPEAKER_15: I think it's totally reasonable.
- 11:59SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 11:59SPEAKER_15: So the roll of our cannon if you back up with a nine, if you get it, you can copy it down.
- 12:04SPEAKER_26: Three plus nine.
- 12:17SPEAKER_15: But you got it.
- 12:18SPEAKER_15: You were able to copy that down.
- 12:20SPEAKER_29: Um don't you say?
- 12:23SPEAKER_15: I mean, it's a little floppy, but it works.
- 12:25SPEAKER_15: It's not it's not coloring inside the lines perfectly, but you got it.
- 12:29SPEAKER_42: Why don't you start getting minuses?
- 12:32SPEAKER_42: Why would I have a minus?
- 12:33SPEAKER_42: You stop taking away from the team.
- 12:35SPEAKER_28: Why would I have a minus?
- 12:39SPEAKER_15: Just for fun, so I know a rogue that's about to get some minuses.
- 12:48SPEAKER_15: Alright.
- 12:52SPEAKER_33: Alright.
- 12:53SPEAKER_33: I can't cast it yet because I don't have the ink.
- 12:55SPEAKER_33: We have to go, I have to find the ink stuff.
- 12:56SPEAKER_33: Yeah, that's a big deal.
- 12:58SPEAKER_33: It's in the book.
- 12:58SPEAKER_33: I thought it was a chalk.
- 12:59SPEAKER_33: I have the chalk, but I also need idiot chalk and ends.
- 13:03SPEAKER_33: Oh, cool.
- 13:04SPEAKER_33: And my little birdie tells me we have to go to a dwarven place, so you'll probably get that.
- 13:10SPEAKER_33: Well, hopefully under thinks that's kind of neat.
- 13:13SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 13:15SPEAKER_15: Scottish X into the last three weeks.
- 13:18SPEAKER_30: You're not Irish, you're pretty proficient.
- 13:20SPEAKER_15: I'm morphing over to Scottish for this one.
- 13:23SPEAKER_15: All dwarves are Scottish.
- 13:24SPEAKER_15: They are all Scottish.
- 13:26SPEAKER_15: Well-known dwarfs.
- 13:27SPEAKER_15: Well-known fact.
- 13:28SPEAKER_33: Well-known fact, all dwarves are scott.
- 13:31SPEAKER_33: Or Russian.
- 13:32SPEAKER_33: I'll except Russian.
- 13:33SPEAKER_33: Russian?
- 13:34SPEAKER_33: For dwarfs, all accept Russian.
- 13:35SPEAKER_15: No, no, no.
- 13:36SPEAKER_15: Barovians are Russian.
- 13:39SPEAKER_15: Russian.
- 13:41SPEAKER_15: That's all I could do for that.
- 13:43SPEAKER_15: I got so sick of that accent.
- 13:45SPEAKER_15: Market's waking up.
- 13:46SPEAKER_15: Market's waking up.
- 13:47SPEAKER_15: People are hustling and bustling.
- 13:48SPEAKER_15: Walking all the way around.
- 13:50SPEAKER_06: Is the floral cover past us as we go?
- 13:52SPEAKER_15: Uh, it's not open yet.
- 13:54unknown: Okay.
- 13:55SPEAKER_15: But uh, you are able to make your way through the streets fairly easily.
- 13:59SPEAKER_28: By the way, I'm still in my L form, because that was what I was at in troublesome.
- 14:03SPEAKER_15: Thank you for letting me know.
- 14:07SPEAKER_15: Um you make your way to the uh the road that takes you down the manor.
- 14:14SPEAKER_15: And you are walking through a kind of like a cobblestone street, and I'll get um I'll get INR to roll me a perception check, please.
- 14:35SPEAKER_06: As discussed, when I when wandering my shield, I don't have a place to store it's on you, eh?
- 14:40SPEAKER_15: Yeah, we discussed that, yeah.
- 14:42SPEAKER_15: But you do have to make sure you mention when you equip it.
- 14:45SPEAKER_06: Yeah, or maybe more when I unequip it, because it's almost like he walks around with it on.
- 14:48SPEAKER_06: I don't have a place to store it on that.
- 14:50SPEAKER_15: So you you wouldn't just wear it on your back?
- 14:52SPEAKER_06: No.
- 14:53SPEAKER_06: I don't have weapons or things to store.
- 14:54SPEAKER_06: I have a cloak, I have no place to store it.
- 14:56SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 14:56SPEAKER_15: Yeah, that's fair.
- 14:57SPEAKER_15: If you want to always have it, I'm down with you, just always have it.
- 15:00SPEAKER_06: He carries it ready.
- 15:01SPEAKER_15: No.
- 15:03SPEAKER_06: Oh, nine and nine, exact same perceptions.
- 15:06SPEAKER_06: Uh that is a 14.
- 15:08SPEAKER_06: With apps, shouldn't catch whatever.
- 15:14SPEAKER_15: Um I'm having him do it because he is Mr.
- 15:18SPEAKER_15: Untrustworthy.
- 15:20SPEAKER_15: He's always looking.
- 15:21SPEAKER_15: He's always, especially when he knows the obsidian shadows are in the city.
- 15:26SPEAKER_06: I'm in particular watching for tall figures with hoods actually in this city.
- 15:30SPEAKER_15: Oh, well, that's pretty abundant.
- 15:32SPEAKER_39: I'm a short figure with a hood.
- 15:33SPEAKER_33: Is it rain?
- 15:34SPEAKER_33: I can or whatever for that tall.
- 15:35SPEAKER_15: Yeah, are you also looking for sunlight?
- 15:37SPEAKER_15: Um Guess what?
- 15:39SPEAKER_24: The sky's blue.
- 15:40SPEAKER_15: Um okay.
- 15:42SPEAKER_15: What did you say you got?
- 15:43SPEAKER_15: Uh 15.
- 15:44SPEAKER_15: 15, that's enough.
- 15:46SPEAKER_15: Um, everything is going normal.
- 15:49SPEAKER_15: However, something that you're not used to seeing, because you've been in Crystal Burrow now for a whole week or so.
- 15:56SPEAKER_15: Um, there every now and then you see just a random guy looking kind of rough, scruffy, maybe somebody that's homeless, that's been given a job, um, carting around what looks like a barrel on a dolly.
- 16:14SPEAKER_04: They've been going back and forth?
- 16:16SPEAKER_15: Nope, just every now and then you see some guy go by you, and you're like, that's the second barrel that I've seen in the last five different guys.
- 16:24SPEAKER_06: Oh, but it's different, but they're all scruffy-looking.
- 16:27SPEAKER_15: Yeah, they're all scruffy-looking nerf herders.
- 16:32SPEAKER_42: I was just mentioning it to the captain, and maybe she knows something about it.
- 16:36SPEAKER_06: In your head, you hear Einar say to you, scruffy looking.
- 16:39SPEAKER_06: There's something odd with these guys in the barrels.
- 16:41unknown: Okay.
- 16:42SPEAKER_06: In your head, you hear something's wrong.
- 16:46SPEAKER_06: With people.
- 16:48SPEAKER_15: Oh, yeah, so you wouldn't you wouldn't like identify it as there's something wrong, but you would identify it as.
- 16:56SPEAKER_15: I never saw these last time I was here.
- 16:57SPEAKER_15: I wonder what those are.
- 16:59SPEAKER_06: So, sorry, the correction control is something's off.
- 17:04SPEAKER_33: I noted.
- 17:05SPEAKER_33: What it what do you mean?
- 17:06SPEAKER_33: And in what way?
- 17:08SPEAKER_06: Einar comes in overriding him with a few guys disheveled carding barrels.
- 17:18SPEAKER_06: A couple of them.
- 17:20SPEAKER_06: I hadn't seen them before, and now there's a couple of them wandering around.
- 17:24SPEAKER_06: It feels off.
- 17:26SPEAKER_39: Okay.
- 17:27SPEAKER_06: I've worn drax too.
- 17:29SPEAKER_06: Alright, realize.
- 17:29SPEAKER_06: Because it's all in your head, throwing it.
- 17:31SPEAKER_33: We'll keep an eye on that.
- 17:33SPEAKER_02: Yeah, my guy will be actively looking for barrels or people rolling barrels.
- 17:39SPEAKER_33: Yeah, we would start actively watching for that.
- 17:43SPEAKER_33: Anything that stands out is different or strange.
- 17:48SPEAKER_06: And you two are already aware of my abilities, so I don't feel like it would freak you out, so that's why you would do it with you.
- 17:57SPEAKER_42: Okay.
- 17:57SPEAKER_42: Are we gonna go talk to the guard captain?
- 17:59SPEAKER_42: Is that what we were planning on doing?
- 18:01SPEAKER_42: Are you guys getting anything in the markets here or anything like that?
- 18:04SPEAKER_42: Let's go check in first and then we check out first.
- 18:07SPEAKER_42: Sure.
- 18:10SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 18:11SPEAKER_15: So are you making your way towards the cap Captain Valera's?
- 18:16SPEAKER_42: Yeah.
- 18:16SPEAKER_42: Yes.
- 18:17SPEAKER_15: Perfect.
- 18:18SPEAKER_15: Alright, so you guys make your way around.
- 18:20SPEAKER_15: Um you come across, like, now you're walking almost to where the manor is, and the captain's quarters is just off of there.
- 18:31SPEAKER_15: Remember, it's not in the manor, it's off in its own little kind of like law enforcement quarter.
- 18:37SPEAKER_15: Ah, and so you walk in and there's the captain.
- 18:39SPEAKER_15: She is behind her desk, um, filling out paperwork, getting ready for the day.
- 18:45SPEAKER_15: Uh, she looks up briefly, looks back down and kind of mutters to herself.
- 18:52SPEAKER_15: Well, that didn't take you long.
- 18:53SPEAKER_15: Welcome back.
- 18:56SPEAKER_33: Hi.
- 18:57SPEAKER_15: Hi.
- 18:58SPEAKER_33: We didn't mean to be back so soon.
- 19:00SPEAKER_27: We got some assistance from the Mage Tower and Elainey to send us here when they were sent to taking the children.
- 19:08SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 19:08SPEAKER_15: Awesome.
- 19:09SPEAKER_33: Did you Did we get a list of the Crystalboro children?
- 19:13SPEAKER_33: No, we did.
- 19:14SPEAKER_15: We did, but I don't think we You don't have okay.
- 19:17SPEAKER_33: I I know I made it.

- 19:20SPEAKER_15: Yes.
- 19:20SPEAKER_33: So we have these are the children who said they were from here, but they are now in Elaine.
- 19:24unknown: Oh.

- 19:27SPEAKER_15: Ah, I see.
- 19:28SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 19:28SPEAKER_33: Um if you want to tell their own.
- 19:30SPEAKER_15: She takes the note from you and then starts leafing through and marking off the families, and she stops for a second and she says, you know, um, there are a few missing children here.
- 19:45SPEAKER_33: Unfortunately, some of them we may not have gotten there on time.
- 19:49SPEAKER_15: Uh-huh.
- 19:49SPEAKER_33: These are the ones that were in a cage.
- 19:54SPEAKER_13: Ah, okay.
- 19:55SPEAKER_06: I will uh remember some were used as terror tactics as you showed us yourself.
- 20:00SPEAKER_15: Yeah, I will have to then notify these family members.
- 20:03SPEAKER_15: Thank you for this.
- 20:04SPEAKER_15: And thank you for getting them.
- 20:06SPEAKER_33: The information we've been given, though, about these children is that they're not safe to stay here, and not even here in Crystalboro, here in Epherioria.
- 20:16SPEAKER_33: So the Mage Tower is going to try and find a place to send the children until we can deem it safe.
- 20:24SPEAKER_33: But we thought the families should have a chance to join their children.
- 20:28SPEAKER_13: Oh.
- 20:30SPEAKER_13: I see.
- 20:31SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 20:32SPEAKER_15: I will Okay.
- 20:34SPEAKER_15: I will make arrangements to have those families transported so they can travel together.
- 20:40SPEAKER_15: Thank you.
- 20:41SPEAKER_15: This is this is most helpful.
- 20:43SPEAKER_15: Is there anything that I can do for you?
- 20:46SPEAKER_33: Has there been any activity with the Obsidian Shadows and the Orc tribes you haven't noticing?
- 20:54SPEAKER_15: Not since you left.
- 20:55SPEAKER_15: It's been quiet within the city gates.
- 20:58SPEAKER_15: We have a lot of trade going on.
- 21:00SPEAKER_15: Um there's a usually at this time of year there is a caravan of traders that come through Crystal Borough, and they are here now.
- 21:06SPEAKER_15: You'll notice the marketplace is actually a lot more vaster than it usually is.
- 21:10SPEAKER_26: No new traders?
- 21:12SPEAKER_15: Not that I've inspected, but uh that's not really my area.
- 21:15SPEAKER_15: I've got one of my lieutenants on that.
- 21:17SPEAKER_15: But from what I can tell, looks fairly normal to me.
- 21:23SPEAKER_06: I know shaking his head.
- 21:24SPEAKER_06: Double the watch for the next few days.
- 21:27SPEAKER_06: Their only source of nourishment were their captives.
- 21:31SPEAKER_06: And we took everyone.
- 21:33SPEAKER_06: That area has no food, nothing to hunt and sustain yourself on.
- 21:39SPEAKER_06: They're going to march here or on another another area in a raid out of necessity and retribution.
- 21:49SPEAKER_15: Well, I appreciate you saying so.
- 21:51SPEAKER_15: However, it's a lot easier to just say double the watch when you're not the one in charge of the resources.
- 21:57SPEAKER_15: Our military is taxed.
- 21:59SPEAKER_15: We have been Run to the ground.
- 22:01SPEAKER_15: These men have been going on 48-hour shifts.
- 22:04SPEAKER_15: We cannot continue this pace.
- 22:06SPEAKER_15: We are going to have to at some point trust that we have taken care of the situation.
- 22:12SPEAKER_15: And you say you have.
- 22:15SPEAKER_42: Well, we rescued the children.
- 22:17SPEAKER_42: The orcs are still deaf, they're still definitely around.
- 22:20SPEAKER_15: Did you take any of them out?
- 22:22SPEAKER_15: Like, did you kill any of the orcs?
- 22:24SPEAKER_33: Our priority was safeguarding the children.
- 22:26SPEAKER_33: We can deal with the orcs now.
- 22:28SPEAKER_33: That we don't have to have children as hostages for them to just kill to prevent us from attacking.
- 22:34SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 22:35SPEAKER_06: There's 40 orcs.
- 22:36SPEAKER_15: Where what is your next move?
- 22:41SPEAKER_42: Well, we'll make our decision, but we'll let you know.
- 22:44SPEAKER_06: We need to hit the ink cap.
- 22:46SPEAKER_06: Whether we need reinforcements from the dwarves.
- 22:51SPEAKER_06: Or another source.
- 22:52SPEAKER_15: You're heading to the Dwarven village?
- 22:55SPEAKER_03: Which is brought up.
- 22:56SPEAKER_42: We most likely are.
- 22:59SPEAKER_13: Give me one second.
- 23:00SPEAKER_15: She turns in her desk and pulls out a piece of paper.
- 23:04SPEAKER_15: Takes an ink and a quill.
- 23:06SPEAKER_15: And she starts writing a letter.
- 23:09SPEAKER_15: And as she's writing it, she says, This is a plea to the Dwarven village to send reinforcements to help us defeat this on a united front.
- 23:20SPEAKER_15: She's like, I don't know if it's gonna do you much good, but it's what I can offer.
- 23:24SPEAKER_15: She finishes it, signs her name, closes the envelope, and then seals it.
- 23:30SPEAKER_15: She hands it to one of you.
- 23:32SPEAKER_32: It's Winter Forge, not Winter Breath.
- 23:33SPEAKER_32: It's Winter Forge.
- 23:34SPEAKER_32: I'll grab it.
- 23:36SPEAKER_39: Hold on to it.
- 23:37unknown: Sure.
- 23:38SPEAKER_06: Do you have any are any of the guards that you have here?
- 23:44SPEAKER_06: I know you don't have much to spare, I guess.
- 23:46SPEAKER_06: But are any capable adventurers who could who would be more useful rather than guarding walls, perhaps aiding in an attack on account?
- 23:55SPEAKER_06: Or are they most sound?
- 23:57SPEAKER_15: You perplex me, sir.
- 23:58SPEAKER_15: You you asked me to double the guard and then ask me to give you reinforcements.
- 24:02SPEAKER_06: I Well when we leave, I'm sorry to have confused you.
- 24:04SPEAKER_15: Yeah, I don't know.
- 24:05SPEAKER_06: We'll be part of your guard as long as we're here.
- 24:07SPEAKER_06: No.
- 24:07SPEAKER_42: But we won't be here very long.
- 24:09SPEAKER_42: We'll be here this morning.
- 24:12SPEAKER_15: I appreciate what you're trying to do, but we need every single man here.
- 24:19SPEAKER_26: This is a large community, they have a lot of points of entry to it.
- 24:26SPEAKER_33: We're not gonna be walk-tromping through the wilderness with a phalanx of soldiers.
- 24:34SPEAKER_06: I was asking for a phalanx.
- 24:35SPEAKER_06: I was asking for a couple.
- 24:37SPEAKER_06: There's never adventurers are never in every one.
- 24:42SPEAKER_33: I'm pretty sure that they the town needs them more than we do.
- 24:47SPEAKER_33: At this point.
- 24:48SPEAKER_33: Has there been any more activity with Varnac and his group?
- 24:53SPEAKER_33: If you've killed him, there's there's usually a power vacuum when you take out a leader.
- 24:57SPEAKER_15: We've not seen it yet, but we are closely monitoring any underground activities or illegal works or organizations as well.
- 25:06SPEAKER_15: But again, we're either guarding the wall or internally investigating the city.
- 25:14SPEAKER_15: It's hard to do both.
- 25:17SPEAKER_15: Crystal Borough is in a very fragile state right now.
- 25:21SPEAKER_15: We can see it more than anybody else.
- 25:23SPEAKER_15: We are leaderless.
- 25:26SPEAKER_15: We are primed to be taken over.
- 25:28SPEAKER_15: We've already been ransacked.
- 25:31SPEAKER_15: Crystal Borough is on the edge.
- 25:34SPEAKER_15: And it is everything I can do to hold it together.
- 25:36SPEAKER_33: Is there any word from Silvery Moon on the new emissary?
- 25:40SPEAKER_15: Not yet.
- 25:40SPEAKER_15: No.
- 25:41SPEAKER_33: Would Delphine know how long it takes to travel between the two cities?
- 25:44SPEAKER_15: Yep.
- 25:44SPEAKER_15: He's not, and you would know he's not there yet.
- 25:46SPEAKER_33: No, but because we don't know if they left early.
- 25:49SPEAKER_33: If they left some someone left from there before Theron left from Crystalboro.
- 25:53SPEAKER_15: Uh that information would only be known by two.
- 25:59SPEAKER_15: Yeah, it's probably I'd say on horseback.
- 26:02SPEAKER_33: Yeah, I'd say it's actually.
- 26:03SPEAKER_15: And especially elves, elves travel faster.
- 26:06SPEAKER_15: Uh I would say, yeah, let's see, conservatively a week, yeah.
- 26:10SPEAKER_33: Okay.
- 26:11SPEAKER_33: It's only been a f three days.
- 26:12SPEAKER_33: So even if somebody left at the same time as Theron left, they're not gonna be back yet.
- 26:17unknown: Yeah.
- 26:18SPEAKER_15: And then they've got to meet in high five in the middle of a ferria, right?
- 26:20SPEAKER_33: Wait.
- 26:21SPEAKER_33: One must have a drive by high five.
- 26:24SPEAKER_33: It dawned on Ryan and I actually that um if we'd stayed in troublesome, we might have met Theron on the road.
- 26:30SPEAKER_40: Oh yeah.
- 26:33SPEAKER_06: Yeah, it is totally what it was.
- 26:35SPEAKER_06: Draps in here in your head.
- 26:38SPEAKER_06: This place needs to dhast in the darkness more than Hulane does.
- 26:45SPEAKER_06: It seems that way.
- 26:48SPEAKER_06: You didn't speak that in my head because you can't, so you said that out loud.
- 26:50SPEAKER_15: It's not nowhere.
- 26:51SPEAKER_15: You just said, it seems that way.
- 26:53SPEAKER_15: Looking at me.
- 26:54SPEAKER_15: He's setting everybody up, man.
- 26:57SPEAKER_15: What seems what look crazy.
- 27:00SPEAKER_02: My guy goes like does one of those finger point things, eye to eye, his hand gesture.
- 27:06SPEAKER_42: It's a good song.
- 27:08SPEAKER_42: Should we go?
- 27:09SPEAKER_42: I thought, yeah, are we the matter?
- 27:12SPEAKER_42: Or should we get horses and we're not leaving immediately.
- 27:15SPEAKER_42: Oh, why?
- 27:16SPEAKER_42: What are we doing here?
- 27:17SPEAKER_33: I have things to do.
- 27:18SPEAKER_33: I have a literal to-do list.
- 27:20SPEAKER_02: I did not know that.
- 27:21SPEAKER_02: Draxa asks the captain if it's common for um trade to be happening all throughout town.
- 27:30SPEAKER_02: And I raised that because we saw people pushing barrels to seem like a bunch of random locations.
- 27:39SPEAKER_06: They seem disheveled.
- 27:41SPEAKER_02: Oh, let's see.
- 27:44SPEAKER_33: What kind of arrows?
- 27:45SPEAKER_33: Were there markings?
- 27:47SPEAKER_33: I'm talking to you because you're the one who said.
- 27:50SPEAKER_02: My understanding was they were nondescript barrels, but.
- 27:53SPEAKER_26: Your understanding?
- 27:55SPEAKER_26: You didn't see them?
- 27:56SPEAKER_26: You just said you saw them.
- 27:57SPEAKER_02: I was told about them.
- 27:59SPEAKER_26: Who told you?
- 28:00unknown: We did.
- 28:01SPEAKER_02: I do a head nod to minorizing we did.
- 28:06SPEAKER_26: What did the barrels look like?
- 28:08SPEAKER_06: Large casks.
- 28:10SPEAKER_06: Long dollies.
- 28:11SPEAKER_06: Like people carrying the carrying fish, carrying booze, carrying.
- 28:17SPEAKER_42: Well, I didn't even mention anything.
- 28:19SPEAKER_03: I did two specific people until I alarm well noticing it.
- 28:24SPEAKER_24: Many hands make light work and tell everything.
- 28:34SPEAKER_06: It was two different occasions this morning.
- 28:37SPEAKER_06: Both of them very disheveled, both of them looking like they don't have the means to have.
- 28:45SPEAKER_26: They couldn't have just been people paid to do manual labor.
- 28:49SPEAKER_03: I wouldn't pay someone to transport mine and a very poor opinion of society.
- 28:58SPEAKER_06: I have an intimate relationship with that side of society.
- 29:05SPEAKER_42: I feel like most of us look pretty shabby most of the time when we're tracing through the wilderness.
- 29:10SPEAKER_42: So just putting that out there.
- 29:16SPEAKER_06: We're talking rags.
- 29:19SPEAKER_06: We're talking dirt disheveled.
- 29:22SPEAKER_06: Look like they do not have a place.
- 29:24SPEAKER_42: I don't think I've showered for a few leagues.
- 29:26SPEAKER_06: You still wouldn't look out of place carton uh.
- 29:31SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we're talking no shoes or footwear.
- 29:38SPEAKER_06: Are the homeless and less fortunate often used by businesses in the town to cart their wares around the city?
- 29:45SPEAKER_15: I mean it's not unheard of for cheap labor to have, you know, the lesser fortunate doing manual work, but I mean it would i it would have to be a very special scenario for me to to think it odd.
- 30:02SPEAKER_06: I try to recall anything I can about the barrels.
- 30:05SPEAKER_15: Roll a history check.
- 30:10SPEAKER_15: You're looking for a 14.
- 30:13SPEAKER_06: I do not make it, unfortunately.
- 30:14SPEAKER_06: Just shy.
- 30:15SPEAKER_13: So you uh what did you get?
- 30:17SPEAKER_06: 13.
- 30:18SPEAKER_13: 13?
- 30:20SPEAKER_15: So you basically all you can get is yeah, they were barrels being hauled around.
- 30:25SPEAKER_15: Not the only thing you can really discern is that the barrels were not light enough to be lifted by hand.
- 30:32SPEAKER_06: Okay, so I do recall that.
- 30:34SPEAKER_06: Like they were they were clearly heavy enough that they needed dollies and not hand lifted.
- 30:38SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 30:39SPEAKER_15: And you didn't do any kind of an investigation check post after your perception, so we're looking for more of them.
- 30:46SPEAKER_15: So okay.
- 30:48SPEAKER_15: Uh the captain says, yeah, I mean, there's not much that I can do to stop local businesses from hiring people, but you know, I will for sure take a look and see if I see anything odd.
- 30:58SPEAKER_41: Just wanted you to be aware.
- 31:00SPEAKER_41: Is there anything you need from us?
- 31:02SPEAKER_15: I mean, if you're offering, we always could use guards on the wall.
- 31:06SPEAKER_15: We always, if you're concerned about uh underground activity, we could always use eyes and ears on the road.
- 31:12SPEAKER_15: How long are you planning to stay in Crystalboro?
- 31:14SPEAKER_24: At least probably a couple days or two.
- 31:16SPEAKER_24: We have someone with us who I don't know is well enough to travel.
- 31:21SPEAKER_42: And what's more urgent?
- 31:29SPEAKER_33: If this place gets attacked as a result of our actions, but at the same time, our actions were saving their children.
- 31:39SPEAKER_33: No, we've we've kicked that hornet's nest, and now it's we they Throck knows us, he knows where we were from.
- 31:46SPEAKER_33: Yeah.
- 31:46SPEAKER_33: There's much.
- 31:47SPEAKER_33: But who wouldn't want us to kick that Hornet's nest?
- 31:49SPEAKER_33: Well, I'm not saying it wasn't a bad idea.
- 31:51SPEAKER_33: Yeah.
- 31:52SPEAKER_06: With the information that we have gathered recently, there's there's more we need to know.
- 31:58SPEAKER_06: This is a place where we can get that information in the libraries and in the archives.
- 32:03SPEAKER_06: And as Delphine noted, if an attack is coming, I would plan to be part of it.
- 32:12SPEAKER_06: And part of the defense.
- 32:13SPEAKER_06: And if it is coming, it's coming in the next few days.
- 32:16SPEAKER_06: They won't wait a week, they're not patient or so they're either on the road and coming now, or they've gone somewhere else, or they actually have stood down and are expecting us to come to them.
- 32:25SPEAKER_06: Which in which case, in any event, recuperating, gathering ourselves, helping Guy get on his feet and figure out what to do there.
- 32:36SPEAKER_06: And as the captain said, I look to Drax.
- 32:41SPEAKER_06: This place could use a bit of extra colour.
- 32:44SPEAKER_34: I think we should stay a couple days and if they come in a couple days and we know.
- 32:48SPEAKER_34: If not, then we carry on.
- 32:50SPEAKER_34: We go on and we go up there.
- 32:52SPEAKER_34: But I think I agree.
- 32:53SPEAKER_34: I think we'll probably be down here the next couple days.
- 32:57SPEAKER_34: If they're gonna attack here, it will be soon.
- 33:02SPEAKER_42: Yeah.
- 33:02SPEAKER_34: If they don't.
- 33:03SPEAKER_33: We took Throck's prize.
- 33:06SPEAKER_33: He's gonna be angry.
- 33:08SPEAKER_42: We're gonna take more of his prize.
- 33:09SPEAKER_42: Throck's prize is nowhere near, and she is safe currently.
- 33:14SPEAKER_42: But I know, but he knows, like I said, he knows where we came from.
- 33:18SPEAKER_33: He knows our faces.
- 33:20SPEAKER_42: He knows my face very well.
- 33:24SPEAKER_33: Wait, would you like another opportunity?
- 33:28SPEAKER_42: For that, I can see the logic of staying there.
- 33:34SPEAKER_42: We should also point out they may well come looking for the figured out.
- 33:46SPEAKER_06: That will find a gate.
- 33:51SPEAKER_06: Or some kind of key.
- 33:55SPEAKER_06: Put two and two together.
- 33:57SPEAKER_06: Your own sister said that they can track all the marked, except for being tired, but that doesn't mean they can't.
- 34:06SPEAKER_06: We're better off making a stand where we have a chance to take them all out rather than being ambushed at the I agree.
- 34:17SPEAKER_06: At least that's something we need to figure out more about.
- 34:20SPEAKER_06: He goes back rubbing his brow, looking up.
- 34:24SPEAKER_27: What's the political situation here?
- 34:26SPEAKER_27: You said that you're leaderless?
- 34:28SPEAKER_27: What about the council?
- 34:29SPEAKER_15: Well, we have the council, but the council still has to elect a leader.
- 34:34SPEAKER_08: And you and I both know that the cousin is not the one.
- 34:39SPEAKER_08: The brother?
- 34:39SPEAKER_08: The brother, sorry, the brother's not the one.
- 34:41SPEAKER_32: We don't know where the cousin is.
- 34:43SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 34:44SPEAKER_15: The cousin is the one we would want, but he's currently.
- 34:47SPEAKER_28: No one among the council is skilled enough to step forward.
- 34:54SPEAKER_15: No one that I trust.
- 34:55SPEAKER_15: Theron was the only one that I thought was going to be able to bring some sort of harmony to this council, but unfortunately he was called back.
- 35:05SPEAKER_15: I would like to see somebody from somebody from that comes from the city.
- 35:15SPEAKER_15: From the lower parts of the city rise to that, but we don't have anybody to do that yet.
- 35:20SPEAKER_33: You don't have anyone in mind at all?
- 35:24SPEAKER_15: Not really, no.
- 35:25SPEAKER_15: But I could start putting a thought into it.
- 35:28SPEAKER_15: I'm sure that I could come up with somebody.
- 35:30SPEAKER_15: And I'm sure if we had you guys backing them, it might help.
- 35:33SPEAKER_06: Certainly you must have some local heroes, whether they're whether you're talking people that assist the guard in the in the area or people that politically rally and are trying to help.
- 35:44SPEAKER_06: There must be some civic defenders.
- 35:46SPEAKER_23: Oh, there's Lord Ravenshade.
- 35:49SPEAKER_33: I know that he definitely has uh intentions for the town.
- 35:54SPEAKER_33: I don't know if maybe I think he has his own thing going that would probably be better off just left um.
- 36:05SPEAKER_33: He's not from the lower class.
- 36:07SPEAKER_06: You mentioned you'd want someone from the lower class.
- 36:09SPEAKER_35: Yes, I did.
- 36:10SPEAKER_35: You're right.
- 36:10SPEAKER_33: We he I don't think he I think he's too busy.
- 36:13SPEAKER_33: He won't have the greater city's interest in this.
- 36:15SPEAKER_24: He has his own business interests.
- 36:17SPEAKER_24: He seems perfectly content with that.
- 36:21SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 36:21SPEAKER_15: Well, I will keep my eyes and ears open.
- 36:24SPEAKER_15: Until that point, I have already depudized all of you, but I would love to give you the power of generals in my guard.
- 36:33SPEAKER_15: If this attack is coming, I hereby give you the authority and the presence to command my men as needed.
- 36:43SPEAKER_15: And I will spread that word.
- 36:46SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
- 36:47SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
- 36:48SPEAKER_02: Drax Flexes.
- 36:51SPEAKER_31: Yes, you're very good, General Drax.
- 36:54SPEAKER_02: General Drax.
- 36:55SPEAKER_02: So general.
- 36:55SPEAKER_02: General Drax.
- 36:58SPEAKER_31: General Drax.
- 37:01SPEAKER_06: As they keep chatting, I'll exactly exit just to the phone.
- 37:06SPEAKER_06: Oliander and Drax Iner does let you know.
- 37:08SPEAKER_06: He's like, I need some air, I'll just be outside the door.
- 37:12unknown: Okay.
- 37:12SPEAKER_33: Um, no, not by yourself.
- 37:15SPEAKER_06: I'm like, just the door.
- 37:16SPEAKER_33: No.
- 37:18SPEAKER_33: Nay nay.
- 37:19SPEAKER_33: Drax.
- 37:20SPEAKER_33: No.
- 37:20SPEAKER_46: I go with them.
- 37:22SPEAKER_33: Drax, go with them.
- 37:23SPEAKER_33: Thanks.
- 37:23SPEAKER_33: Buddy system like ladies at a bar.
- 37:26SPEAKER_43: Two in, two out.
- 37:26SPEAKER_43: Firefighter roll.
- 37:28SPEAKER_34: Question for you.
- 37:30SPEAKER_34: Just curiosity.
- 37:31SPEAKER_34: Could ya hate to say it.
- 37:35SPEAKER_34: Could you send a sending to Theron to see if he has passed the new guy coming up?
- 37:43SPEAKER_34: I hate to say it.
- 37:44SPEAKER_34: I don't want to deal with the guy, but.
- 37:46SPEAKER_33: I'd rather not do it here.
- 37:47SPEAKER_34: No, no, like.
- 37:48SPEAKER_33: When we're settled.
- 37:49SPEAKER_34: Yes.
- 37:50SPEAKER_34: Not right now.
- 37:51SPEAKER_15: Do you want him to send a message right back to you personally?
- 37:54SPEAKER_34: I want to punch him in the face if you.
- 37:56SPEAKER_11: He already did.
- 37:56SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
- 37:57SPEAKER_30: He would have to do his own sending to him because he could only respond to Italy.
- 38:03SPEAKER_11: I don't know what he did.
- 38:05SPEAKER_33: Like you like you half asked it.
- 38:07SPEAKER_33: You half asked that hit.
- 38:11SPEAKER_33: You all asked as much as he could full ass.
- 38:13SPEAKER_40: Yes.
- 38:13SPEAKER_33: Yeah, but you felt too bad to have to full asset.
- 38:17SPEAKER_33: So you half asked the full ass.
- 38:19SPEAKER_34: Just a question.
- 38:20SPEAKER_34: If you don't want to talk to the guy, that's fine.
- 38:23SPEAKER_34: Take it.
- 38:24SPEAKER_33: I can.
- 38:24SPEAKER_33: I want to talk to my guy, but we're kind of in the middle of today's.
- 38:30SPEAKER_33: He's not bad.
- 38:31SPEAKER_33: He's just quietly walking beside us.
- 38:33SPEAKER_33: I do think it would be beneficial for us to fill him in since I told him we were in troublesome and now we are decidedly not in troublesome.
- 38:42SPEAKER_33: Yeah.
- 38:43SPEAKER_34: I just think it'd be good if he knows who's coming up because of what might happen.
- 38:48SPEAKER_32: I'd very much like to know who's coming up.
- 38:50SPEAKER_15: The captain just kind of says.
- 38:52SPEAKER_15: I'm sorry to interrupt, but is there anything else I can help you with?
- 38:55SPEAKER_15: I do have to get on with the video.
- 38:57SPEAKER_33: We have to get back to the manor as fast as we can so that we can discuss our business there in privacy.
- 39:03SPEAKER_33: Right, so if you do need anything from us, you know where to find us.
- 39:06SPEAKER_15: Oh, I will find you.
- 39:07SPEAKER_33: And we'll let you know if we are leaving again.
- 39:10SPEAKER_15: Thank you.
- 39:11SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 39:11SPEAKER_15: And with that, she kind of salutes you and off she goes.
- 39:16SPEAKER_33: Like kick out.
- 39:17SPEAKER_33: Awkward flute.
- 39:22SPEAKER_33: To the manor.
- 39:23SPEAKER_33: To the manor.
- 39:24SPEAKER_15: To the manure.
- 39:24SPEAKER_33: To Alistair, the steward of the manor.
- 39:27SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 39:27SPEAKER_15: So you guys uh head up the steps to the manor and are greeted like residents of the manor, as you should be.
- 39:33SPEAKER_15: Uh Alistair comes to the door and he's like, welcome back.
- 39:37SPEAKER_15: Is there anything that I can prepare you?
- 39:39SPEAKER_15: Uh a meal, food, uh, something to drink, perhaps.
- 39:43SPEAKER_33: Um, if I could get an adjoined room uh for me and my friend here, and a meal sent, uh that would be really greatly appreciated.
- 39:55SPEAKER_33: Would you also send the matter healers to him?
- 39:58SPEAKER_13: Absolutely, yes.
- 39:59SPEAKER_13: Uh, we don't have adjoined rooms.
- 40:00SPEAKER_13: Uh I do have a room with a king bed though.
- 40:02SPEAKER_33: Uh no, thank you.
- 40:05SPEAKER_33: I think just side by side would be great.
- 40:07SPEAKER_13: Oh, uh two two queens then, absolutely.
- 40:11SPEAKER_33: Two rooms.
- 40:13SPEAKER_33: Okay.
- 40:14SPEAKER_33: Two separate rooms.
- 40:17SPEAKER_08: Ah, yes.
- 40:19SPEAKER_08: Ah, I understand.
- 40:20SPEAKER_08: Sorry for my assumption.
- 40:23SPEAKER_15: You were just holding him so gently.
- 40:26SPEAKER_15: Uh yes, absolutely.
- 40:28SPEAKER_15: We can have two rooms uh together, not adjoined, uh just sharing a wall.
- 40:31SPEAKER_15: Does that work?
- 40:32SPEAKER_15: Yes, that's fine.
- 40:32SPEAKER_15: Okay, this is a manor, it's not a hotel.
- 40:34SPEAKER_33: Um, so well, even if it was like a suite that had two rooms in it.
- 40:40SPEAKER_15: Again, manor, not a hotel.
- 40:42SPEAKER_33: Regular normal bedrooms.
- 40:45SPEAKER_15: You're lucky to have anything at all.
- 40:47SPEAKER_15: Uh he's yeah, he's absolutely we've got a room for him.
- 40:50SPEAKER_15: He is uh he'll be he'll be around you, but not next to you.
- 40:54SPEAKER_15: But he does have his own room that kind of he can heal up in.
- 40:57SPEAKER_15: And uh and uh Alistair does he go.
- 41:00SPEAKER_33: A man needs his privacy.
- 41:01SPEAKER_35: We need the heels uh up to this gentleman's room immediately, please.
- 41:04SPEAKER_35: Yes, no, yes, stop grumbling.
- 41:06SPEAKER_35: I know what your day off go, go, go, go.
- 41:09SPEAKER_15: And sends him up.
- 41:11SPEAKER_15: So and then uh you'll you'll see there's a couple of big guards come and they kind of help Guy up the stairs.
- 41:18SPEAKER_15: He's still a little weak.
- 41:19SPEAKER_15: Uh, and they get him up and he's he's gone up to his room to rest.
- 41:23SPEAKER_33: I'll tell I'll I'll join you as soon as I have a moment.
- 41:26SPEAKER_15: He kind of looks back and he's like, Who is quite the digs you got here?
- 41:32SPEAKER_08: I think I'll be enjoying myself here.
- 41:35unknown: Good.
- 41:35SPEAKER_29: Okay, excellent.
- 41:37SPEAKER_29: Perfect.
- 41:38SPEAKER_08: And up he goes.
- 41:38SPEAKER_29: If he looks comfortable, I'm okay.
- 41:40SPEAKER_13: He looks alright, he's good.
- 41:42SPEAKER_06: So while everyone's distracted, Drax in your head, you hear me say to you.
- 41:48SPEAKER_06: So invasive, no permission.
- 41:50SPEAKER_06: So there's something else you should know about this.
- 41:58SPEAKER_06: And then you hear a lower voice.
- 42:00SPEAKER_06: Oh, our ghost knows us.
- 42:04SPEAKER_06: He's met us many times.
- 42:07SPEAKER_06: And I'm just looking at you with a kind of a shrug.
- 42:11SPEAKER_02: My guy does a hand gesture of WTF.
- 42:18SPEAKER_06: And I just kind of nod at you nod at you going, I didn't hear my voice.
- 42:22SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 42:23SPEAKER_06: It's a lot.
- 42:26SPEAKER_02: We're all a little uh messed up in some way.
- 42:29SPEAKER_02: And I use this moment to summon Mr.
- 42:32SPEAKER_02: Drax.
- 42:35SPEAKER_15: Oh, hey guys, what's up?
- 42:38SPEAKER_36: Hi, Mr.

- 42:53SPEAKER_33: We are.
- 42:53SPEAKER_33: No, you just said you needed air because you stepped up and that was to the matter.
- 42:57SPEAKER_06: Now you're the matter.
- 42:58SPEAKER_06: Now we're at the matter.
- 42:59SPEAKER_06: Now we're at the matter.
- 43:00SPEAKER_06: So while they were distracted, I just started talking about he has summoned Mr.
- 43:03SPEAKER_06: Drax around you guys.
- 43:04SPEAKER_15: So uh because you've already spoken to Einar, he has your memories.
- 43:09SPEAKER_15: This is awesome.
- 43:11SPEAKER_08: Hey, uh what was with that other voice that I just heard in my head?
- 43:18SPEAKER_06: I speak to you in your head, I'm like, so actually, I look at you and then you hear the voice and it goes, What's with it?
- 43:27SPEAKER_06: We've always been with you.
- 43:29SPEAKER_08: What is going on?
- 43:30SPEAKER_08: I'm like, Why are you talking to my head right now, man?

- 43:34SPEAKER_06: I give you the I give you the hand signal for shut the fuck off.
- 43:37SPEAKER_06: Oh, right.
- 43:38SPEAKER_35: Sorry.
- 43:39SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 43:40SPEAKER_15: And as he does that, you see him put his hand to his lips and you can see flesh on his arm.
- 43:46SPEAKER_06: I look to you.
- 43:48SPEAKER_06: And here is the matching coinciding arm.
- 43:50SPEAKER_33: Did you know that though?
- 43:52SPEAKER_06: It was only I told him to go eat with it.
- 43:55SPEAKER_33: No, because I saw it too.
- 43:56SPEAKER_33: Oh, because I licked it.
- 43:57SPEAKER_33: Okay, okay.
- 43:58SPEAKER_02: What do you got showed?
- 44:03SPEAKER_02: And he reiterates.
- 44:04SPEAKER_42: Echo.
- 44:05SPEAKER_02: We're all messed up in some way or another.
- 44:09SPEAKER_42: I'm just sort of looking back and forth between them because it's just like, oh, what the hell's going on here?
- 44:16SPEAKER_42: Are you saying that or just looking back and forth?
- 44:18SPEAKER_42: No, I'm looking back and forth.
- 44:19SPEAKER_42: I'm a little confused more than anything.
- 44:21SPEAKER_42: I said, well, I think I'm gonna go find horses unless we have some in the stables here, so we're at least ready to go and we need to leave.
- 44:29SPEAKER_42: We shouldn't go anywhere alone, Roled.
- 44:32SPEAKER_15: I'm going to uh I'm gonna hang out with Druken for a little bit.
- 44:38unknown: And then you're down.
- 44:40SPEAKER_42: Sounds good.
- 44:43SPEAKER_42: So you're hanging out with Drukan?
- 44:47SPEAKER_42: Mr.
- 44:47SPEAKER_42: Drax is hanging out with Drukan.
- 44:49SPEAKER_06: Yes.
- 44:50SPEAKER_06: I have some things I'm wanting to sort, but there's some things in the market I'd like to do in your head.
- 44:59SPEAKER_06: You kind of hear, I think I might need your help with this.
- 45:02SPEAKER_06: I'll go.
- 45:03SPEAKER_06: I wonder if they might have a divine or a fortune teller somewhere here.
- 45:07SPEAKER_15: Did you say that out loud or in the head?
- 45:08SPEAKER_06: No, that's for everyone.
- 45:09SPEAKER_06: Oh my god.
- 45:10SPEAKER_06: This is gonna be a good thing.
- 45:12SPEAKER_06: This is gonna wreck me.
- 45:13SPEAKER_42: It sounds like we need to you want to go to the market, and I was thinking we should probably need horses if we're gonna need to be traveling up to Winterford, so.
- 45:21SPEAKER_15: Well, Drew can and I, we can go get horses together.
- 45:25SPEAKER_34: Because I need to talk to you anyways, Mr.
- 45:26SPEAKER_34: Drex.
- 45:27SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 45:27SPEAKER_08: You know I have a conversation.
- 45:29SPEAKER_08: Absolutely.
- 45:30SPEAKER_33: Well, Leander looks slightly terrified.
- 45:33SPEAKER_33: Are you gonna go with that?
- 45:34SPEAKER_33: Drew can and Mr.
- 45:35SPEAKER_33: Drex together and is very carefully trying to back up but being attentive at the same distance.
- 45:42unknown: Okay.
- 45:43SPEAKER_42: I'll say.
- 45:45SPEAKER_42: Alright, Drax.
- 45:47SPEAKER_42: Let's have another look at you.
- 45:51SPEAKER_42: Just shaking my head.
- 45:54SPEAKER_33: I know I would really like to come with you to look for that.
- 45:57SPEAKER_33: Uh grandfather would highly approve.
- 46:00SPEAKER_33: Where are you going?
- 46:01SPEAKER_02: I am with Drax Proper is with Einar.
- 46:06SPEAKER_33: I'll go with you guys, because I don't want to go anywhere near if you're a fortune teller.
- 46:10SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 46:12SPEAKER_06: Is there anything else we need in the market that you'd like us to grab while we're out?
- 46:16SPEAKER_06: Oh, I can go to the market on my own, but.
- 46:18SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 46:18SPEAKER_06: No, you can't.
- 46:19SPEAKER_06: You need to go with someone.
- 46:20SPEAKER_33: Not on my own.
- 46:22SPEAKER_33: We can go separate from you guys.
- 46:25SPEAKER_08: Well, I have traumatized you guys.
- 46:30SPEAKER_06: If I'm being told he can't go anywhere alone, he's making sure no one else does, because he's the most capable of the.
- 46:36SPEAKER_42: And now that I'm aware, I'm watching out for those barrel guys.
- 46:38SPEAKER_42: Okay.
- 46:39SPEAKER_42: Drax is going to both places.
- 46:40SPEAKER_42: I have a literal to-do list.
- 46:45SPEAKER_33: Resources.
- 46:46SPEAKER_46: Demon conquered.
- 46:47SPEAKER_46: Divine conquer.
- 46:50SPEAKER_33: I have a literal to-do list.
- 46:51SPEAKER_33: I need to go to the library.
- 46:52SPEAKER_33: I need to go to the archives.
- 46:54SPEAKER_33: I might need your help with something rolls.
- 46:57SPEAKER_42: Okay.
- 46:57SPEAKER_33: You know maps.
- 46:59SPEAKER_42: I do know.
- 46:59SPEAKER_33: You cannot help me in the library, but you can help me with maps.
- 47:02SPEAKER_42: Yes, I'm quite.
- 47:04SPEAKER_33: Because we have all those maps in the curator that I know you so strongly want to return, which I also want to return.
- 47:08SPEAKER_33: Yes.
- 47:09SPEAKER_33: But it has information we need first.
- 47:13SPEAKER_06: We need you to draw out the maps very well.
- 47:15SPEAKER_33: Can you copy maps?
- 47:17SPEAKER_15: Uh yes, then with a high enough dice rule, you can do anything in this game.
- 47:22SPEAKER_33: I know.
- 47:22SPEAKER_33: I'm just saying I could help him.
- 47:24SPEAKER_33: I just feel like with his survival.
- 47:27SPEAKER_33: Are you trained in survival?
- 47:28SPEAKER_33: Yes.
- 47:29SPEAKER_33: Then I think you would probably I would assume that would be a survival.
- 47:31SPEAKER_15: Cartography would be a survival.
- 47:33SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 47:33SPEAKER_33: So that would be a task for you, but I need to go to a library, we need to go to the archives.
- 47:40SPEAKER_06: We would like to meet up with you.
- 47:41SPEAKER_33: I don't want to miss this opportunity to gain as much information as we can.
- 47:46SPEAKER_33: Okay, so we've got I'm with those guys and Mr.
- 47:50SPEAKER_33: Drax.
- 47:51SPEAKER_33: They're the four of us.
- 47:52SPEAKER_15: Oleander, you're going with.
- 47:53SPEAKER_33: I'm going Oleander is going with Einar and Drax to find a fortune teller.
- 48:00SPEAKER_15: Okay, perfect.
- 48:01SPEAKER_15: So we're gonna split up.
- 48:02SPEAKER_15: Uh and then we're gonna reconvene.
- 48:05SPEAKER_06: We should reconvene and go to the archives after you're done with your library.
- 48:09SPEAKER_15: The archives at the museum.
- 48:11SPEAKER_06: Yes.
- 48:12SPEAKER_33: I would like to go to there as well and see if I can find any lists of potion recipes.
- 48:18SPEAKER_15: The archives.
- 48:19SPEAKER_33: We all, I think, all want to go to overlapse interests.
- 48:23SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I agree.
- 48:24SPEAKER_26: We have some we have some questions about Before you leave it, get the maps out of the bag hold up.
- 48:30SPEAKER_26: About for him.
- 48:31SPEAKER_06: Yes.
- 48:31SPEAKER_06: What what we what we are that we we've avoided our entire life that we have to try to find answers for now.
- 48:37SPEAKER_06: We owe it to everyone.
- 48:39SPEAKER_06: We can't be the reason that something is let loose upon people in this world.
- 48:46SPEAKER_06: I have to figure those out.
- 48:51SPEAKER_06: on the coin, on the rhymes from the dead, and from the knowledge we've gotten from your sister.
- 48:57SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 48:58SPEAKER_06: There's gotta be something.
- 48:59SPEAKER_15: So we will be splitting up and heading in different directions, and with that, we're gonna take a quick break.
- 49:06SPEAKER_02: Hey, Draxia! Who said you guys could stand up?
- 49:09SPEAKER_02: Sit back down.
- 49:10SPEAKER_02: We'll be right back.
- 49:13SPEAKER_15: Okay, so the group is splitting up, and we're gonna have some of us go to the fortune teller, and the other ones are gonna go to get some horses.
- 49:27SPEAKER_30: When uh before we leave, I do have my sending for Theron that you wanted me to do.
- 49:32SPEAKER_17: Oh, let's do that.
- 49:33SPEAKER_24: That's that's nothing.
- 49:36SPEAKER_24: It's business.
- 49:37SPEAKER_34: I have sending as well.
- 49:39SPEAKER_30: You have do you have a memorized stuff?
- 49:41SPEAKER_30: No, you get to have a fucking message then.
- 49:43SPEAKER_34: I know I thought about it.
- 49:45SPEAKER_33: Great.
- 49:46SPEAKER_33: Do it.
- 49:48SPEAKER_30: Hey, ship face!
- 49:51SPEAKER_11: I could do it, but I don't want to talk to him, so you do it.
- 49:54SPEAKER_33: Alright, no, my my message for him.
- 49:57SPEAKER_33: It's pure business.
- 49:58SPEAKER_33: It's like we are in I've counted the words, it's 25.
- 50:02SPEAKER_33: We are in Crystalboro, thanks to Julius.
- 50:05SPEAKER_33: Have you met the other emissary on the road?
- 50:08SPEAKER_33: The leadership here is broken.
- 50:10SPEAKER_33: I'm concerned.
- 50:13SPEAKER_08: Okay.
- 50:14SPEAKER_13: Uh there's a few minutes to go by, and then you get the response.
- 50:23SPEAKER_13: A day and a half out from Silvery Moon.
- 50:26SPEAKER_15: There was an attack on the other party.
- 50:31SPEAKER_15: Results unknown.
- 50:36SPEAKER_28: Let's pass that along.
- 50:39SPEAKER_35: Miss you.
- 50:45SPEAKER_28: I'll do another sending.
- 50:50SPEAKER_39: Is this a spell too?
- 50:52SPEAKER_28: It is.
- 50:52SPEAKER_11: It is.
- 50:53SPEAKER_11: Stop giggling.
- 50:56SPEAKER_29: You can't leave it in that.
- 50:57SPEAKER_29: She has to reply.
- 51:00SPEAKER_29: He says that she's replied to that.
- 51:04SPEAKER_33: Alright, just uh.
- 51:06SPEAKER_33: Do you know who the other emissary was meant to be?
- 51:11SPEAKER_33: Are they still coming?
- 51:15SPEAKER_33: How far out from Crystal Borough were they?
- 51:19SPEAKER_33: And I'm intentionally leaving four words in.
- 51:27SPEAKER_18: Are you done?
- 51:28SPEAKER_18: Is that it?
- 51:29SPEAKER_18: I'm done yet!
- 51:33SPEAKER_41: Bitch! She has things to think about.
- 51:37SPEAKER_34: Oh shit.
- 51:39SPEAKER_15: Um.
- 51:41SPEAKER_15: Yeah, the response.
- 51:43SPEAKER_15: No information yet.
- 51:46SPEAKER_15: Two days out from Silvery Moon.
- 51:49SPEAKER_15: I'm continuing on.
- 51:55SPEAKER_13: There seems to be treachery.
- 52:01SPEAKER_28: That's what we suspected anyway.
- 52:03SPEAKER_28: That's why he was going back.
- 52:05SPEAKER_28: One of the reasons.
- 52:06SPEAKER_13: And he doesn't say anything else.
- 52:09SPEAKER_28: It's not like he's not used to her changing moves.
- 52:12SPEAKER_13: You fucking deserve it.
- 52:14SPEAKER_33: It's not like he's not used to her channel.
- 52:15SPEAKER_33: You could have said miss you too! You could have said I miss you too! She intentionally did not.
- 52:23SPEAKER_34: Because she doesn't miss something.
- 52:26SPEAKER_33: Because she has someone else to get her dad fill her time.
- 52:30SPEAKER_16: He doesn't know your hand.
- 52:34SPEAKER_33: Anyway, I will pass that on.
- 52:38SPEAKER_34: So he's got nothing.
- 52:40SPEAKER_15: He's got nothing, but you do know that the other emissary that was on its way up from Silvery Moon was ambushed.
- 52:47SPEAKER_34: So they're ambushed two days out of silvery moon.
- 52:51SPEAKER_34: So that's still like almost a week.
- 52:52SPEAKER_06: Not near a week, right?
- 52:53SPEAKER_06: Like not in clear.
- 52:54SPEAKER_06: That's more silvery moonable than it is this time.
- 52:57SPEAKER_15: There's no information as of yet.
- 52:58SPEAKER_15: I'm sure information will roll in as the days progress.
- 53:04SPEAKER_33: I uh I'm just gonna tell whoever's with me.
- 53:06SPEAKER_33: I don't know, are you guys already gone?
- 53:08SPEAKER_33: Are we all still together?
- 53:09SPEAKER_11: Yeah, we're all still together.
- 53:10SPEAKER_11: Oh, okay.
- 53:11SPEAKER_33: I will pass all that along.
- 53:13SPEAKER_33: Um do you think that that means that it was somebody trustworthy that was ambushed more likely?
- 53:21SPEAKER_27: It doesn't speak to their level of trustworthiness, it only speaks to the level of um problem that we're in.
- 53:30SPEAKER_33: I have a theory.
- 53:32SPEAKER_33: Should we look at that?
- 53:33SPEAKER_33: We've got a theory.
- 53:34SPEAKER_33: It could be powerful.
- 53:35SPEAKER_42: I would think it's the Red Dawn cutting off their movement.
- 53:38SPEAKER_33: It is, I that's exactly what I think.
- 53:40SPEAKER_33: Um I think there's more than one camp.
- 53:43SPEAKER_33: I think the Throck was assigned to Zahira, and the other two sisters are in other prominent areas.
- 53:50unknown: Exactly.
- 53:52SPEAKER_33: So I think there's similar situations around Alaney and Silvery Moon.
- 53:57SPEAKER_33: We're gonna be.
- 53:58SPEAKER_33: And I don't know if perhaps our actions here have affected other areas.
- 54:04SPEAKER_06: Well, they're undoubtedly widespread.
- 54:07SPEAKER_06: I mean when I was found by my father.
- 54:16SPEAKER_06: That temple isn't beside a lake.
- 54:18SPEAKER_06: That it's it's a good travel way.
- 54:21SPEAKER_06: Do we really think that I was taken from my family after a battle that they were attacked at the tattoo of my I was taken from the wretched dog.
- 54:32SPEAKER_33: Well, considering this is the first time I'm I'm here you were taken from anything.
- 54:37SPEAKER_06: Well, I talked a little bit about my origins when we had our breakfast.
- 54:42SPEAKER_06: Well, how old are you?
- 54:44SPEAKER_06: We figure around 20.
- 54:47SPEAKER_06: We don't know exactly.
- 54:51SPEAKER_06: We know I was born under a weeping star and an eclipse.
- 54:56SPEAKER_40: Mm-hmm.
- 54:56SPEAKER_06: We figured that much out amongst us.
- 54:59SPEAKER_40: Mm-hmm.
- 55:00SPEAKER_06: But if they were that far, they're unless maybe they were trying to hide me.
- 55:08SPEAKER_06: Maybe they were taking me to a site.
- 55:10SPEAKER_42: Well we definitely know Asheville is everywhere.
- 55:12SPEAKER_42: If there's no Asheville, if nowhere is safe.
- 55:17SPEAKER_42: So it does make sense that he would have silos all over the place where he was gathering children from.
- 55:30SPEAKER_06: Not just children.
- 55:33SPEAKER_06: Components of an army.
- 55:37SPEAKER_06: When you take them compartmentalize their individual- when you take them as larger factions.
- 55:43SPEAKER_06: 40 arc camp here, the gathering of a coven within witches there.
- 55:48SPEAKER_06: Another one under another witch here.
- 55:50SPEAKER_06: A faction down by Silverboon capable of attacking the envoy?
- 55:53SPEAKER_06: Do we really think that the envoy wouldn't have been equipped to defend themselves?
- 55:58SPEAKER_32: It would have been very, very equipped.
- 56:02SPEAKER_06: So why does he need an army?
- 56:05SPEAKER_06: Because he means to assault this plane.
- 56:08SPEAKER_27: They're destabilizing.
- 56:11SPEAKER_27: Anyone who could resist them.
- 56:16SPEAKER_15: Should we get some horses, guys?
- 56:17SPEAKER_34: Yeah.
- 56:18SPEAKER_34: I think we should go to the house.
- 56:19SPEAKER_27: Thank you, Mr.
- 56:20SPEAKER_27: Drax.
- 56:20SPEAKER_15: I mean, I really want one.
- 56:23SPEAKER_06: Well, when we leave, we'll need them, but we're not heading out right away.
- 56:26SPEAKER_15: If we procure them now, though, we can have them stabled so that we can just grab them and go.
- 56:30SPEAKER_04: Exactly.
- 56:31SPEAKER_04: Something like this can definitely take care of.
- 56:32SPEAKER_15: Yeah, that's I think what we're doing.
- 56:35SPEAKER_15: You guys take Mr.
- 56:36SPEAKER_42: Drax.
- 56:41SPEAKER_06: Well, let's look at the gold so we can.
- 56:43SPEAKER_28: Rolf needs to get those maps because I need him to help me.
- 56:48SPEAKER_02: I hand rolled the maps.
- 56:50SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 56:50SPEAKER_02: I do a quick inventory of the bag of holding.
- 56:54SPEAKER_02: To make sure I have everything.
- 56:59SPEAKER_11: Let's pull out that deck.
- 57:02SPEAKER_30: Don't touch the deck.
- 57:05SPEAKER_02: Alright.
- 57:06SPEAKER_02: In terms of group loot, there are two in terms of items we have that would be worth value.
- 57:13SPEAKER_02: We have a pyromancer staff.
- 57:16SPEAKER_24: No, I have that.
- 57:19SPEAKER_02: She takes it, maybe.
- 57:21SPEAKER_02: We have two.
- 57:22SPEAKER_02: We have a war hammer, a magical war hammer.
- 57:27SPEAKER_02: We have 131 gold.
- 57:32unknown: I would like some gold.
- 57:34SPEAKER_02: We have a I hushed myself a crimson hourglass.
- 57:40SPEAKER_02: Under my breath.
- 57:41SPEAKER_02: And we have a deck of playing cards also under my breath.
- 57:46SPEAKER_32: Totally normal cards.
- 57:48SPEAKER_33: I love playing cards.
- 57:49SPEAKER_06: You guys want to play salt?
- 57:51SPEAKER_06: I'm carrying almost a hundred gold on myself right now.
- 57:54SPEAKER_06: Ow.
- 57:58SPEAKER_06: So I give one thing.
- 58:00SPEAKER_06: Make a withdrawal.
- 58:02SPEAKER_33: I'd like to make a withdrawal from the bank.
- 58:04SPEAKER_02: So essentially I give everyone twenty-two gold.
- 58:07SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 58:07SPEAKER_02: Wow.
- 58:08SPEAKER_02: Nice.
- 58:09SPEAKER_33: That's still not a lot.
- 58:10SPEAKER_06: I passed my gold.
- 58:10SPEAKER_06: Mr.
- 58:10SPEAKER_06: Dirac's very Jefferson, you guys.
- 58:13SPEAKER_33: 22 gold?
- 58:14SPEAKER_06: 22 gold.
- 58:15SPEAKER_06: As you've passed off to me, I'm like, she'll need it more for collecting spells and things for the party.
- 58:19SPEAKER_06: I've I've got what I need on me.
- 58:21SPEAKER_25: Hopefully I can put it on the game.
- 58:22SPEAKER_02: Okay, well you can give her the 22 gold, but that's what's in the bag.
- 58:26SPEAKER_02: Oh I can't.
- 58:26SPEAKER_02: I consider this party stuff.
- 58:31SPEAKER_34: I got it.
- 58:31SPEAKER_34: Oh, true.
- 58:32SPEAKER_06: And I quietly not admonish, but remind you of like, as Dad said, I mean, we we need the money we need to survive and sell supplies.
- 58:39SPEAKER_06: We're our own weapons.
- 58:40SPEAKER_02: So Delphine, the pyromancer staff is with you.
- 58:43SPEAKER_22: Yeah, I have that on my bag.
- 58:45SPEAKER_02: Uh if you guys come to me, if you guys want No, they're most certainly not.
- 58:50SPEAKER_06: I I indicate the bandolier on my chest with the knives.
- 58:52SPEAKER_06: I'm like, I have this thing still, if anyone wants it or if we think it could be worth something.
- 58:57SPEAKER_33: The bandolier?
- 58:58SPEAKER_06: The bandolier with throwing knives on it.
- 59:00SPEAKER_06: They're probably returning throwing knives.
- 59:01SPEAKER_27: Once you attune to it, we will fully know what to do.
- 59:03SPEAKER_02: And I never got attuned to it.
- 59:04SPEAKER_02: And I pulled out a magical base and say we could try to pawn this off as well.
- 59:08SPEAKER_33: Where was that one from?
- 59:10SPEAKER_02: Random corpse.
- 59:13SPEAKER_06: So I hand the uh bandolier of knives off to Drunken.
- 59:17unknown: Okay.
- 59:18SPEAKER_39: I mean it just sounds fun.
- 59:20SPEAKER_42: Well it sounds like we have an awful lot of loot, so we could technically maybe see if there's anything.
- 59:24SPEAKER_39: Phenomenal.
- 59:26SPEAKER_02: Um, Drew can I give you that magical mace?
- 59:30SPEAKER_02: It's plus one, but it's just No.
- 59:31SPEAKER_34: I won't, I'll never use it on the first one.
- 59:33SPEAKER_42: No, to sell it.
- 59:33SPEAKER_42: Oh, to sell it since we're going down there?
- 59:35SPEAKER_42: Yeah, okay.
- 59:36SPEAKER_42: Yeah.
- 59:36SPEAKER_42: Well, let's see if they actually have any, if there's happens to be any like magical where we go good for somebody.
- 59:41SPEAKER_28: Are we gonna go to the market first or the logic?
- 59:43SPEAKER_42: Well, we're gonna go to the horses first.
- 59:45SPEAKER_34: You guys walk with you people.
- 59:48SPEAKER_36: Please get me a multitonal horse.
- 59:51SPEAKER_36: I want one with pretty colors.
- 59:52SPEAKER_36: Maybe it's the colour.
- 59:55SPEAKER_42: I guess I'd probably take like animal handling or something for my ancestry thing today's.
- 1:00:00SPEAKER_42: That was what word was.
- 1:00:01SPEAKER_33: I would like another apple.
- 1:00:03SPEAKER_24: Okay.
- 1:00:04SPEAKER_24: Did you want to go to a temple?
- 1:00:07SPEAKER_34: Yes, after we go to horses.
- 1:00:09SPEAKER_24: Mm-hmm.
- 1:00:11unknown: Okay.
- 1:00:14SPEAKER_32: And split.
- 1:00:16SPEAKER_15: And ready.
- 1:00:17SPEAKER_15: Brick.
- 1:00:18SPEAKER_15: Brick.
- 1:00:18SPEAKER_15: Or nature, I guess.
- 1:00:20SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 1:00:20SPEAKER_15: So let's start off with you three.
- 1:00:24SPEAKER_33: Okay.
- 1:00:25SPEAKER_33: If we are going to be leaving, uh I will uh change my appearance to be just another generic uh middle class woman that doesn't stand out in any way, and I will have my hood mostly up.
- 1:00:41SPEAKER_26: What are you doing, Guy?
- 1:00:43SPEAKER_33: Guy's resting.
- 1:00:45SPEAKER_33: And he said he was gonna be okay until I had a chance to come up.
- 1:00:49SPEAKER_33: So I am going to uh I will ask I will ask the um butler, um, whatever his name is.
- 1:00:56SPEAKER_33: Stewart.

- 1:00:58SPEAKER_33: Alistair.
- 1:00:59SPEAKER_33: Uh Alistair, if you could please tell my companion that I will be back at uh the first opportunity, and um just so that he knows that I am out at the moment.
- 1:01:09SPEAKER_13: Yes, absolutely.
- 1:01:10SPEAKER_13: He is being attended to professionally at the moment, and we will take very good care of him.
- 1:01:15SPEAKER_06: So uh thank you.
- 1:01:16SPEAKER_06: I look to you, Rex, and I say, So here's where we've got a choice.
- 1:01:23SPEAKER_06: Do we play it traditionally and disguise up?
- 1:01:28SPEAKER_06: Or do we let everyone who should know know that the ghosts in the darkness are in the streets?
- 1:01:35SPEAKER_06: And that won't be around.
- 1:01:37SPEAKER_06: It won't matter to any of the innocent, but anyone in the know Maybe it's time to make that announcement.
- 1:01:44SPEAKER_06: Let them know that their time is short.
- 1:01:48SPEAKER_02: I don't intend to hide my appearance in any way.
- 1:01:54SPEAKER_02: If people are gonna come to this town, I want them to know I am at this town.
- 1:02:00SPEAKER_06: I consider this a second home, brother, and then I turn to you.
- 1:02:08SPEAKER_06: Speaking of which, being in troublesome back here.
- 1:02:16SPEAKER_06: Something you said last night ended in plaguing us.
- 1:02:22SPEAKER_06: And you you said that we did this.
- 1:02:25SPEAKER_06: That we rescued the people who made it possible.
- 1:02:30SPEAKER_05: We did it.
- 1:02:32SPEAKER_05: It wasn't us.
- 1:02:34SPEAKER_06: It was your belief in us.
- 1:02:38SPEAKER_06: Our trust in you.
- 1:02:39SPEAKER_06: It's the faith that the vanguard holds amongst each other.
- 1:02:43SPEAKER_06: You see, Owen.
- 1:02:46SPEAKER_06: The most useful assets a person can have, the greatest gift a person can give, isn't a mind full of knowledge.
- 1:02:59SPEAKER_06: It's not a body strong of muscle.
- 1:03:02SPEAKER_06: It's not the powers or the gadgets we can.
- 1:03:05SPEAKER_06: I put my hand over your chest.
- 1:03:07SPEAKER_06: I say it's a heart that's open and full of love.
- 1:03:11SPEAKER_06: I run my hand up to your ear.
- 1:03:13SPEAKER_06: Can I say it's an ear that's right to say?
- 1:03:17SPEAKER_06: Can I run my hand down to your hand and hold it?
- 1:03:18SPEAKER_06: Can I say it's a hand that's willing to help?
- 1:03:22SPEAKER_06: You see, that gives people hope.
- 1:03:24SPEAKER_06: Hope and a better time and place, and being better for each other and themselves.
- 1:03:30SPEAKER_06: I don't want you doubting either.
- 1:03:33SPEAKER_06: Not the difference you're making.
- 1:03:35SPEAKER_06: Not how much you've wronged.
- 1:03:41SPEAKER_33: She just chokes up a little bit and smiles.
- 1:03:46SPEAKER_33: Leans in and wraps her arms around him and kisses him on the cheek and says thank you.
- 1:03:57SPEAKER_06: So where to first?
- 1:04:03SPEAKER_06: Do we want to look for the fortune teller right away, or is there anything well diviner, or is there anything you wanted, brother?
- 1:04:10SPEAKER_06: I mean I apologize, I've been ignoring you a little late.
- 1:04:15SPEAKER_06: Sorry.
- 1:04:16SPEAKER_02: No, I'm I'm uh interested to uh hear how your fortune telling goes.
- 1:04:23SPEAKER_02: Well, we should do you too.
- 1:04:25SPEAKER_02: We probably should.
- 1:04:26SPEAKER_06: Let's be honest, bro.
- 1:04:28SPEAKER_06: Dad had a lot of things right.
- 1:04:31SPEAKER_06: Saw a lot of things differently than a lot of people, and probably again, maybe for the right.
- 1:04:37SPEAKER_06: There's a lot of things he got wrong.
- 1:04:39SPEAKER_06: There's a lot of things that maybe we need to grow and learn from.
- 1:04:43SPEAKER_06: And I think one of those things is yes, it's true, we're not where we're from or how we look.
- 1:04:51SPEAKER_06: We are what we do and who we are.
- 1:04:53SPEAKER_06: Yes.
- 1:04:54SPEAKER_06: We can't ignore what we are, if what we are is meant for something or doing something.
- 1:05:02SPEAKER_06: We can't just ignore it because it's it's convenient.
- 1:05:05SPEAKER_06: Because, oh no, what I do makes it okay.
- 1:05:09SPEAKER_02: Brother, we are meant for greatness.
- 1:05:13SPEAKER_02: We are the planner vanguard.
- 1:05:16SPEAKER_06: I think we were all born for this, brother.
- 1:05:19SPEAKER_06: Each and every one of us.
- 1:05:21SPEAKER_06: Born for this.
- 1:05:25SPEAKER_02: Alright, let's head to let's head to this fortune teller.
- 1:05:29SPEAKER_02: Leave the rest of the crew to the market.
- 1:05:37SPEAKER_06: I'm so confused about when he says we're destined for greatness in your head.
- 1:05:44SPEAKER_06: Dark reply.
- 1:05:45SPEAKER_06: Oh.
- 1:05:47SPEAKER_05: Our ghost knows we're great.
- 1:05:51SPEAKER_02: Trex gives you a little bit of a side eye.
- 1:05:54SPEAKER_02: Like I shrug at your boy.
- 1:05:56SPEAKER_02: A kind of like a pause stuff.
- 1:06:00SPEAKER_02: getting used to the other voice.
- 1:06:06SPEAKER_06: I kind of chuckle back.
- 1:06:10SPEAKER_06: We're one and independent.
- 1:06:12SPEAKER_06: It's I don't fully get well too much.
- 1:06:16SPEAKER_06: We're figuring this out together.
- 1:06:17SPEAKER_33: That's a sorry to put more on this.
- 1:06:21SPEAKER_33: Uh I will speak into your head and see if I can direct a commentary.
- 1:06:30SPEAKER_33: Uh I'm trying to address the other voice because I have noticed at this point that uh Einar will speak to me in multiple voices at times.
- 1:06:42SPEAKER_39: So I will see if I can direct the other vo at the other voice and say yes we will figure this out.
- 1:06:51SPEAKER_03: Low responsive we like our petals.
- 1:06:58SPEAKER_15: Alright are you guys gonna head into we're heading into the market but what are you looking for?

- 1:07:34SPEAKER_15: And she just Right over there and she just points at the far side of the marketplace.
- 1:07:39SPEAKER_15: There's like a kind of a shadowy alley but you can see like a little light kind of just like swinging in the breeze.
- 1:07:47SPEAKER_15: That's where everyone goes if they're looking to get their fortune told.
- 1:07:50SPEAKER_06: So how much are they forget how much are they forget this this bundling of girls a silver.

- 1:09:28SPEAKER_15: The wandering veil the train you see it's going to be the yellow brick road follow the yellow brick road as you get there there's uh bit of a bit of a kind of an aura that comes from around it and uh there's a door that's kind of st it's holding on its frame but it's like tilted in.
- 1:09:52SPEAKER_06: Before we enter I'm doing a surreptitious act of perception check anybody taking more note of us watching us coming up here.
- 1:10:01SPEAKER_15: Take a roll what are you you're looking for anything suspicious in terms of people around you?
- 1:10:06SPEAKER_06: Crying eyes.
- 1:10:07SPEAKER_06: Eyes that seem more interested in us than the than they would normally take a roll woo 23 with your 23 perception you notice nothing in particular.
- 1:10:20SPEAKER_33: Good while we are crossing the market I will have kept a eye um casually but yeah try like not not you know freakishly staring at everybody but trying to keep an eye for any obsidian shadow type markings.
- 1:10:42SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 1:10:43SPEAKER_33: Um roll me a perception check please I saw that coming nice um 16 I knew that was so yeah you notice there I mean the obsidian obsidian shadows are a prevalent entity within the city uh you do notice that there are some however you with that role you notice there are more than usual okay um I just I I whisper in Einar's uh head and then into Drax's head that I note a slightly increased presence of obsidian shadow members or sympathizers.
- 1:11:32SPEAKER_06: I kind of stiffen at that gross and I actually think back into directly into Drax's head I'm like how the hell did we not notice obsidian shadows in this city?
- 1:11:43SPEAKER_06: Because we haven't picked up on it yet until her show her mention of it.
- 1:11:46SPEAKER_06: Nope.
- 1:11:47SPEAKER_33: Drax immediately gets angry your anger is noted okay guys stay on guard but um we are going to go in here and see what we can find out.
- 1:12:02SPEAKER_33: She may be a champ.
- 1:12:04SPEAKER_33: I have no idea what we're gonna find here but keep a slightly open mind so that there are possibilities there are people that can tell things that the rest of us can't.
- 1:12:17SPEAKER_33: So let's see what she has to say take everything with a grain of salt okay guys?
- 1:12:26SPEAKER_15: Yeah we head on in um I will I open the door hear a little chime of the bell as we open on in hello so you don't hear any response but as you walk in it's a very different vibe inside you find that there's nobody present but there is uh a big kind of circular table with a big velvet tablecloth draped over it and many different charms and different types of um you know spiritual and whimsical items hanging around the shop.
- 1:13:14SPEAKER_06: And uh you come into kind of like the main area and she has uh a little guest sign-in book and you hear from the back just sign yourself in I'll be out front in a moment I whisper to the boys do you want to sign yourself I grab a pen or a pencil and I sign it but I don't sign it I Narwhole I sign it as the darkness because that's who's here for both questions.
- 1:13:58SPEAKER_33: Okay I look at what he just signed give him a quizzical look and then sign the ghost I'll be I'll take the pen next and I look at them both and I look at what they signed the ghost and the darkness and I will write underneath the lost I really want you to write the and the ghost and the darkness okay sorry um so something very interesting happens you are signing in your name and as you finish signing in you know the lost you watch as the ink just kind of like starts to move on its own and changes to Einar Wild Soul Drax Titan Fist Oleanderhawker I say aloud maybe we are one I have to admit that my skepticism is waning at the moment you hear a little voice in your head we'll put her to the test promise and Idar shakes his head as he rubs his brow like okay we will he says it all like we will it's he's not wrong it's my thoughts too kind of unnerving while we're waiting for her to come out I want to uh I'm going to look around and see if uh if there is anything in particular um that speaks to me um bones or plants in specific um there's same there's lots of stuff is it a shop that they that she does she also sell stuff or is it just strictly a place of business that she does her fortune telling okay um this is not a place of business other than fortune telling okay however there is always something that can be offered for something and as you are kind of looking around and you're thinking there is a kind of a cold breeze that just goes through the room and the three chairs from the table go and pull out I think that it's time for us to sit down boys I I motion to you first letting me pick your chair okay I pick the farthest chair from where it looks like she might be sitting okay I'll take the central chair then okay I will take the last chair perfect as I go to take the chair I say to myself to myself in my own head speaking to myself I said I say to myself look we are one we're gonna need to learn to speak as one letting each other know we'll work on it a response back with just an affirm affirmation just we're working on it okay so as you guys sit down the chairs are pulled in to the table almost a little too tight and then you see the beads in the doorway kind of rustle and then so majestically you see this figure come through the beads and she goes woo taking it back it's literally like a and Madame Ildressa comes flamboyantly through the beads with her arms splayed to either side I am your fortune tenor today among you send your little name into the book Drax claps this is great archer names are there I do because I've set the spin on the way who has a question for Madame Andresa Tati So I'm looking to her and I will speak aloud to her mic I have several questions if she would have a conversation with us that's why I'm here dear the cost of your reading today would be five gooed pieces per reading if you're willing I would love to read for you all three of you today I speak to her in her head as I'm putting 20 gold on it and I say we'd love to speak with you but this is not your typical reading I need you to roll a charisma saving throw please charisma?

- 1:20:33SPEAKER_15: She's staring at you.
- 1:20:35SPEAKER_21: She's staring at me that we're like I'm like ah I'm sorry if I offended but at least I have your attention and I'm like well now that the impasanies are finished can we have a serious conversation about what Madame Eldresa can do for you I am very sorry for us to have offended you Madame Eldresa it's always the man isn't it always the man they're jumping in my head and in my pants and then they are a little more uncouth than uh us ladies but luckily we've had a long time of learning how to deal with them.
- 1:21:19SPEAKER_06: Oh I just love you dear I love you you and I are going to get along well I believe we should I say aloud apologies madam but part of me can only communicate and then I let my other half say in this way.
- 1:21:35SPEAKER_16: That baby is a tease my friend but you need to learn the manners if you're going to have this power you don't just jump into everyone's head you don't know what's going on and I look at it and I go it developed this morning apologies.
- 1:21:51SPEAKER_15: Oh this mole developed this morning you don't mean see me throwing in your face I look at it and I go rather distinctive mole really it's nice just let this be a lesson to you guard your tactics well don't be a jump in psychic clay where you're not welcomed what if you never have okay I'm done with you now I want to talk to your tall dark handsome friend here what's your name sweetie they call me Drax Titan fist as it says in your book yes I can see that well what would you have Madame Aldresta read for you today I've taken your th your 20 gold by the way five of it for the penance for your bullshit puts another five gold on the table says no I'll pay my own penance 20 gold is for the readings of the conversation with you as fairly disrepeed alright then all right then I'll take it forgiven forgiven and forgotten who's first let's see I get a fair reading for you sweetheart I've got a lot going on she's got this crystal ball kind of in front of her and she like rolls her sleeves up as she like flamboyantly like thrusts her arms out and sits in the chair slowly.
- 1:23:29SPEAKER_41: Is she a human?
- 1:23:31SPEAKER_15: She is okay and she just looks around dramatically you can tell that she's got a flair for the dramatics and she just like thrusts her arms out she goes I can tell you have got a lot going on in your life right now I do a bit.
- 1:23:51SPEAKER_35: You dear oh I kinda imagine having a new love and an old love thrust back into the mix I kinda I kind of like look up into the ceiling looking around and you you've got more going on in your head than most how do you manage and you over there physically you're a specimen I wonder what it would be like to have two of you in the room with me all right enough joking aside you're not here for my jokes you're here for my readings and I'll fair warn you my readings come to me only in regals and I'll tell you what I know but I cannot elaborate too far you guys are losing your shit.
- 1:25:12SPEAKER_11: I love this so much honestly this was a great idea I'm so glad I came up with the first job.
- 1:25:16SPEAKER_29: I was gonna say I never considered the benefits of I didn't know the lady all drift the drift is not turned into my relationship toilet I think just take it in I'm a health end oh what cake did she into is that's the question are you into I think I'll be able to is first Einar um please madame I believe that um my companion here um could most benefit from your attention first I sense there's a lot of uncertainty with you at this point in your life and that's okay son that happens but what do you have to ask me today?
- 1:26:16SPEAKER_09: What do you need clarification on?
- 1:26:20SPEAKER_06: Well mad on I have strong convictions and and knowledge about who I am and what we stand for.
- 1:26:34SPEAKER_06: There's no doubt but I hold out my arm to her to see the moving tattoo what's inside me the abilities you spoke of and there are more they're not something I can afford not to know what we are and what can be done about it because it seems that it might be tied to the fates of a lot more people so I have a responsibility to know to know more than I was told so my question for you is what truly are we and how do we destroy the plans that are set in motion to use us in that is what I suspect is meant for us.
- 1:27:35SPEAKER_38: So as you finish your your question her eyes roll back in her head the question you ask is
- 1:28:00SPEAKER_35: Not an easy one to answer.
- 1:28:02SPEAKER_35: And I fear that you may already know what your answer is.
- 1:28:07SPEAKER_35: But I'll tell you what my balls say.
- 1:28:10SPEAKER_35: I have more than one.
- 1:28:11SPEAKER_35: Don't be daft.
- 1:28:14SPEAKER_15: And she like kind of like rolls her hands around it, and to your kind of surprise, as she does it, the crystal ball lifts off the ground or off the table and starts to hover.
- 1:28:28SPEAKER_15: And she rolls her hands around in each direction.
- 1:28:31SPEAKER_15: And you watch as the swirling smoke and liquid, it looks like inside swirl and change color.
- 1:28:40SPEAKER_15: They go from blue to white to green to black.
- 1:28:46SPEAKER_15: And then she kind of like slowly lets her arms out go to the side and the crystal ball lowers to the ground.
- 1:28:54SPEAKER_35: And then her shrieking voice, she says, When the three wandering stars align, a child of the blood moon shall bear the ink of the shadows.
- 1:29:10SPEAKER_35: This ink is both your shield, but it is also your chain.
- 1:29:17SPEAKER_35: Beware, for as the crimson eye awakens again, the shadows that you carry will hunger for your soul.
- 1:29:29SPEAKER_15: To protect those you love, you must consider giving the gifts back to the darkness from which it came.
- 1:29:45SPEAKER_04: And he's he's nodding almost knowingly.
- 1:29:53SPEAKER_04: And whence did it came and how do we do this or destroy us if we must.
- 1:30:01SPEAKER_35: I don't know that.
- 1:30:03SPEAKER_35: But what I do know is you were born under very special circumstances.
- 1:30:11SPEAKER_35: And that has imbued you with powers that nobody else has.
- 1:30:15SPEAKER_35: That's why you're all flimsy whimsy with your inky winky.
- 1:30:21SPEAKER_06: I actually chuckle at the inky winky and I actually say, I like that.
- 1:30:25SPEAKER_35: Yeah.
- 1:30:27SPEAKER_35: But if I were you, I would heed the words.
- 1:30:30SPEAKER_35: Because they don't come from me.
- 1:30:32SPEAKER_35: They come from the cosmos.
- 1:30:35SPEAKER_35: Now take that as you will.
- 1:30:38SPEAKER_35: But that's all I have to offer you today.
- 1:30:42SPEAKER_35: Who is next?
- 1:30:45SPEAKER_02: Seeing Oliander pointing to myself, I'd say I'll go next.
- 1:30:51SPEAKER_35: Oh, that's okay.
- 1:30:55SPEAKER_35: What is it you would like to know, you handsome stranger.
- 1:30:59SPEAKER_02: Ah.
- 1:31:00SPEAKER_02: Well, I'd like to know before it starts, I guess, is the future set or are there many paths?
- 1:31:10SPEAKER_13: Aye, that's a deep one.
- 1:31:13SPEAKER_35: Coming from a single man, I would assume.
- 1:31:22SPEAKER_35: Perhaps.
- 1:31:24SPEAKER_35: Hurry, hurry, let me just look into your future.
- 1:31:27SPEAKER_35: You'll hear fortune.
- 1:31:28SPEAKER_35: You have a clouded past.
- 1:31:31SPEAKER_35: Oh so fraught with torment and misunderstanding.
- 1:31:37SPEAKER_35: Oh you're picked up and brought and given love when you didn't think you deserved it.
- 1:31:44SPEAKER_35: Oh, you're such a poor lad.
- 1:31:46SPEAKER_35: I have turned out so well.
- 1:31:49SPEAKER_35: Chiseled almost.
- 1:31:52SPEAKER_35: But I digress.
- 1:31:55SPEAKER_15: Let me read your fortune for you.
- 1:31:57SPEAKER_15: And she waves her hand again over the magic ball and it starts to rise into the air.
- 1:32:02SPEAKER_15: And she's looking into it, peering into it.
- 1:32:05SPEAKER_35: She goes, Oh, I'm seeing your whole past.
- 1:32:09SPEAKER_35: Oh my word.
- 1:32:11SPEAKER_35: Oh, skinny dipping.
- 1:32:12SPEAKER_35: Very nice.
- 1:32:16SPEAKER_28: Never considered Jacks this way in acting in the whole life.
- 1:32:19SPEAKER_15: Yeah, and so she's uh, and then she kind of like lets it go, and you watches the colors in it go from black to red to purple to white.
- 1:32:29SPEAKER_15: And then it lowers back down.
- 1:32:32SPEAKER_15: And she just kind of like lowers her head down and she says to you, You know the steels that are forged in waters dull with time.
- 1:32:41SPEAKER_35: But yours was cast in fire and shadow, twinned and tethered.
- 1:32:50SPEAKER_15: Three echoes shall rise, but only one shall remain.
- 1:32:56SPEAKER_15: To be more than the blade you must blade for the truth.
- 1:33:01SPEAKER_15: Your test is not in victory, but in who watches you fall.
- 1:33:11SPEAKER_35: She kinda like sits back and she's like, You are a haunted man, but not by death, but by expectation.
- 1:33:23SPEAKER_35: You think yourself forged already, proven in battle, but the forge was Julin's, and the anvil is your brother's shadow.
- 1:33:40SPEAKER_02: I I need to ponder this.
- 1:33:44SPEAKER_15: All I know about you, you handsome devil you.
- 1:33:48SPEAKER_15: Your test has not yet come.
- 1:33:51SPEAKER_15: But I is nigh.
- 1:33:54SPEAKER_19: It is nigh.
- 1:33:56SPEAKER_02: I look forward to the challenge.
- 1:34:06SPEAKER_33: Doesn't matter, just means you're ripped.
- 1:34:08SPEAKER_33: Really, really ripped.
- 1:34:10SPEAKER_06: Threaded, actually.
- 1:34:12SPEAKER_06: Chiseled.
- 1:34:13SPEAKER_06: We've discussed it how charisma doesn't necessarily dictate how pretty you are.
- 1:34:17SPEAKER_33: No, it has nothing to do with your physical attraction.
- 1:34:19SPEAKER_33: I got a really good personality.
- 1:34:22SPEAKER_06: Where is you know?
- 1:34:24SPEAKER_06: Letters.
- 1:34:28SPEAKER_09: Alright.
- 1:34:29SPEAKER_09: Now, my love.
- 1:34:33SPEAKER_09: My little beauty, you're next.
- 1:34:37SPEAKER_09: What question have you for the fantastic Madame Eldresa?
- 1:34:44SPEAKER_33: I greatly appreciate you, Madame Aldresa.
- 1:34:46SPEAKER_11: Not you.
- 1:34:48SPEAKER_11: I think we're kindled spirits today.
- 1:34:51SPEAKER_33: I know.
- 1:34:53SPEAKER_33: I pause for a moment and try and collect my thoughts.
- 1:34:59SPEAKER_33: And I say we're I feel that I have been very torn on different paths.
- 1:35:09SPEAKER_33: The path that I was originally placed on uh growing up by my family and my grandfather versus the path that I find myself currently following and where my heart wants to go and where my mind wants to go.
- 1:35:29SPEAKER_33: I don't know if um I don't know if I'm following the right path or if there is a good path for me to follow.
- 1:35:38SPEAKER_33: I don't know if there's I am I feel that I spend so much of my time right now in fear and loneliness.
- 1:35:50SPEAKER_33: I don't know if there is something better that I should be searching for.
- 1:35:57SPEAKER_21: That was a lot.
- 1:36:00SPEAKER_35: Could you dumb it down for Madame Andreas?
- 1:36:02SPEAKER_35: Just a little bit.
- 1:36:03SPEAKER_35: So I don't, you know, it's a lot for an old lady.
- 1:36:06SPEAKER_33: Is there a path that I can reach towards that would match my heart and my grandfather at the same time?
- 1:36:16SPEAKER_35: Yes, oh, I understand now, love.
- 1:36:20SPEAKER_17: You want to know if you're going the right way or if there's a way that you should go.
- 1:36:26SPEAKER_28: Yes.
- 1:36:27unknown: Okay.
- 1:36:28SPEAKER_15: Well, I believe I can help.
- 1:36:30SPEAKER_15: And she waves her hands again, and this time the magic ball it it rises up in the air.
- 1:36:37SPEAKER_15: And it clouds over with grey.
- 1:36:40SPEAKER_15: Just gray.
- 1:36:41SPEAKER_15: And she kind of it swirls and it but nothing none of the colors change at all.
- 1:36:50SPEAKER_15: They stay the same, grey.
- 1:36:52SPEAKER_15: Oh, it says, Quay, oh, I've never seen this before.
- 1:36:54SPEAKER_13: I saw so and she just waves her hands again, the ball lowers to the ground.
- 1:37:05SPEAKER_13: She says, Oh my god.
- 1:37:07SPEAKER_35: You have had one life.
- 1:37:11SPEAKER_35: But I'll tell you this a laugh in the dark and a hand at your back and a spark that once led you astray.
- 1:37:23SPEAKER_35: The song you follow was never yours.
- 1:37:29SPEAKER_35: You dance to another's refrain, but the notes they're not done yet, and neither is he.
- 1:37:39SPEAKER_09: Where fire meets melody, truth shall bleed, and he who shoots has one final shot.
- 1:37:55SPEAKER_33: Leander is very overwhelmed by this and is just frantically trying to decipher what this could possibly mean.
- 1:38:06SPEAKER_33: Um she turns to she she reaches out her hand to Madame Eldrissa and thank you.
- 1:38:16SPEAKER_33: Um I I don't know what this means right now, but um Thank you for your time.
- 1:38:25SPEAKER_21: Well You paid me handsomely, so I had to give you something.
- 1:38:30SPEAKER_21: You know, I'm so happy that you're like it.
- 1:38:32SPEAKER_21: Like uh sometimes the people come in here and they're not happy with what I say.
- 1:38:36SPEAKER_11: But I'm glad you are.
- 1:38:38SPEAKER_33: It's okay.
- 1:38:38SPEAKER_33: I I speak to people uh grandfather never speaks to me very clearly either.
- 1:38:44SPEAKER_33: Oh.
- 1:38:46SPEAKER_33: He says hello, by the way.
- 1:38:48SPEAKER_33: Thank you! I pulled grandfather up from my way.
- 1:38:57SPEAKER_29: I just clutch into my chest.
- 1:38:59SPEAKER_29: Thank you!
- 1:39:01SPEAKER_06: So that's uh yes.
- 1:39:04SPEAKER_06: You've been extremely helpful.
- 1:39:07SPEAKER_06: I did lightning, right?
- 1:39:08SPEAKER_06: Well, I thank you for this.
- 1:39:09SPEAKER_35: That's why I do love, that's why I'm here, you know.
- 1:39:12SPEAKER_35: I'm just in the service of people.
- 1:39:14SPEAKER_35: But if you need another fortune tort, don't come back too soon, because it's gonna be the same.
- 1:39:20SPEAKER_35: But if you come back a little later, maybe a bit different.
- 1:39:23SPEAKER_16: I don't know how this works.
- 1:39:25SPEAKER_06: May we share something through our minds now that we've conversed.
- 1:39:32SPEAKER_07: He'd like to speak to speak with you.
- 1:39:35SPEAKER_06: Sure, yeah, go ahead.
- 1:39:37SPEAKER_06: I'll calm myself for a moment.
- 1:39:41SPEAKER_06: And in the darkness comes to her and it says we appreciate your words.
- 1:39:50SPEAKER_05: Yes.
- 1:39:52SPEAKER_05: You're right.
- 1:39:54SPEAKER_05: We know we are so key to something terrible.
- 1:40:02SPEAKER_06: And you know we will do anything to stop it.
- 1:40:11SPEAKER_06: We wanted to think personally, not just the one side.
- 1:40:19SPEAKER_06: That this knowledge reassures us on our path.
- 1:40:27SPEAKER_05: Thank you.
- 1:40:29SPEAKER_15: Alright, she doesn't acknowledge back through the psychic.
- 1:40:34SPEAKER_15: She goes, Well, that was uncomfortable.
- 1:40:37SPEAKER_06: I actually shake my head at her like yes.
- 1:40:40SPEAKER_16: If there's anything else that you need, please feel free to come back to the Whispering Vale.
- 1:40:46SPEAKER_06: Perhaps we can do you the service of directing others here by speaking of your capabilities and veracity.
- 1:40:55SPEAKER_15: I can already tell that you're not gonna do that.
- 1:40:58SPEAKER_15: I can see it, you know.
- 1:40:59SPEAKER_15: I'm a fortune teller.
- 1:41:01SPEAKER_15: I already know that you're not gonna go on the world and send people back.
- 1:41:04SPEAKER_15: Why would you say that?
- 1:41:05SPEAKER_06: There's three people in our group.
- 1:41:07SPEAKER_06: Why would you just make that up like I looked at like, there's three people in our group I would love to send your way because we'd love to get your take on them.
- 1:41:14SPEAKER_16: Well, then that would be fine, but not other strangers.
- 1:41:16SPEAKER_16: I don't want strangers.
- 1:41:17SPEAKER_06: You don't want strangers.
- 1:41:18SPEAKER_16: Well, that's not I get to attract my own.
- 1:41:21SPEAKER_16: We would not want you to waste time on things that are not worth it.
- 1:41:25SPEAKER_35: Alright then.
- 1:41:26SPEAKER_16: Well, with that, I'm a little taxed.
- 1:41:29SPEAKER_35: And if you'll excuse me, I'm going to retire to my ready room.
- 1:41:34SPEAKER_35: Powder my nose.
- 1:41:37SPEAKER_16: You don't happen to have a photograph of yourself, do you, Doldax?
- 1:41:42SPEAKER_33: Photographs explained.
- 1:41:44SPEAKER_33: Painting for painting plate for something.
- 1:41:47SPEAKER_11: Something I can take with me back into my ready room.
- 1:41:51SPEAKER_11: Well, never in a ready room.
- 1:41:53SPEAKER_11: I'll just uh capture it in mind, okay?
- 1:41:56SPEAKER_11: And she gets up and she just like flares out her coat.
- 1:42:00SPEAKER_33: Staring for five extra seconds and drags.
- 1:42:03SPEAKER_10: She just looks at him and she just does a slow up and down.
- 1:42:06SPEAKER_10: Hmm, yes.
- 1:42:08SPEAKER_10: And then off she goes.
- 1:42:13SPEAKER_06: I've got to take her like, you are one of the most fabulous performers I have ever had the pleasure of encountering.

- 1:46:51SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 1:46:52SPEAKER_15: Okay, let's go to the captain.
- 1:46:54SPEAKER_15: Okay, we'll head that way.
- 1:46:56SPEAKER_34: We'll head that way.
- 1:46:57unknown: Yeah.
- 1:46:58SPEAKER_15: Um, you get there, and uh there is now a group of soldiers that have kind of gathered around that captain's quarters.
- 1:47:09SPEAKER_15: And they're being assigned.
- 1:47:10SPEAKER_15: You can see them.
- 1:47:11SPEAKER_15: Somebody's like, there's a lieutenant there at barking orders, and then one of them just runs off in one direction, two run off in another direction.
- 1:47:16SPEAKER_15: He's kind of like sending them on their way to their post of the day.
- 1:47:22SPEAKER_34: Okay, so we're gonna go talk to the captain, I guess, then for the case.
- 1:47:25SPEAKER_15: Yeah, so you uh do you wanna go inside?
- 1:47:27SPEAKER_34: I'll talk to the lieutenant and ask if the captain is around.
- 1:47:30SPEAKER_15: Okay, yeah, perfect.
- 1:47:31SPEAKER_15: Um, he's like looking without looking up from his clipboard, bro, you know, captain's out for the day while attending to matters around the city.
- 1:47:39SPEAKER_14: Should be back roughly mid-afternoon.
- 1:47:42SPEAKER_34: Okay, he's second in church?
- 1:47:44SPEAKER_14: Obviously I am.
- 1:47:45SPEAKER_34: Okay, well then I will tell you I'll tell him what w we found out about uh Theron, about the other group that's coming up to the emissary was way laid on their way to the street.
- 1:47:59SPEAKER_34: Why they're not here yet, they did get attacked.
- 1:48:01SPEAKER_33: Two days outside of Silver Moon.
- 1:48:03SPEAKER_34: Um, so they might not show up right away because they were attacked.
- 1:48:08SPEAKER_34: No, this is grave news indeed.
- 1:48:10SPEAKER_33: Is this Lieutenant Ulrich?
- 1:48:12SPEAKER_34: Yes.
- 1:48:14SPEAKER_14: This is grave news indeed.
- 1:48:16SPEAKER_14: Well, we'll have to send somebody on the way down there to see if we can, you know, maybe assist or find them on their pathway and help them back here.
- 1:48:26SPEAKER_34: Yeah, I would just send a scout.
- 1:48:28SPEAKER_34: Don't send if we just send a scout, I think that should be fine.
- 1:48:31SPEAKER_34: They'll move faster without issues.
- 1:48:34SPEAKER_14: Oh, that's a good idea.
- 1:48:35SPEAKER_14: Yeah, we'll send one right away.
- 1:48:37SPEAKER_14: Um You there, first, first me a scout!
- 1:48:41SPEAKER_34: And then they were I think they we understood they were attacked about two days out of Silver Moon, so it's gonna be about four to five out of here.
- 1:48:49SPEAKER_14: Yeah, not too far away.
- 1:48:52SPEAKER_14: I wonder if it would be faster for us to dispatch out of Baldur's Gate rather than here.
- 1:48:59SPEAKER_24: Well, they have to travel east.
- 1:49:02SPEAKER_28: I think it's probably equidistance on the map between the two.
- 1:49:05SPEAKER_15: You might be right at that.
- 1:49:07SPEAKER_15: We don't have to have to go through the mountains if they're coming from here.
- 1:49:10SPEAKER_15: We do have soldiers in Gilden Ridge.
- 1:49:13SPEAKER_33: That'd be quicker.
- 1:49:14SPEAKER_15: We could do that.
- 1:49:15SPEAKER_15: I'll have to send word.
- 1:49:18SPEAKER_15: Right, leave that with me, I'll send word.
- 1:49:20SPEAKER_34: Okay, we'll come back and we'll talk to the captain which we're gonna do.
- 1:49:23SPEAKER_15: Alright, is there a message I can s convey?
- 1:49:25SPEAKER_34: That's it.
- 1:49:26SPEAKER_34: That really is the message.
- 1:49:27SPEAKER_34: That's the message that we need her to do.
- 1:49:28SPEAKER_28: She was concerned about when the emissary was coming.
- 1:49:33SPEAKER_15: Right.
- 1:49:33SPEAKER_15: Okay, I will convey that information for her and we will get any information scan from the scout.
- 1:49:41SPEAKER_34: We can tell him when we get back.
- 1:49:43SPEAKER_34: Yeah.
- 1:49:43SPEAKER_15: Right.
- 1:49:44SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 1:49:45SPEAKER_15: Yes.
- 1:49:45SPEAKER_15: Anything else?
- 1:49:46SPEAKER_26: We need to reserve some horses.
- 1:49:49SPEAKER_26: I don't know when we're leaving.
- 1:49:51SPEAKER_15: That's a matter for the stable of the map.
- 1:49:53SPEAKER_26: Yeah.
- 1:49:53unknown: Okay.
- 1:49:55SPEAKER_15: Back to that.
- 1:49:55SPEAKER_15: Wait, back to it then.
- 1:49:56SPEAKER_15: Oh, and he starts like dispatching.
- 1:49:59SPEAKER_15: Before we go.
- 1:50:00SPEAKER_33: Has because you told us about people's barrels now.
- 1:50:03SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 1:50:04SPEAKER_33: Have their have the men inspect barrels coming in.
- 1:50:10SPEAKER_33: We are.
- 1:50:11SPEAKER_15: Well, you're gonna have to be a little more specific about that.
- 1:50:14SPEAKER_33: Well, unfortunately I can't, because the person told me is not very specific themselves.
- 1:50:18SPEAKER_24: Um just be highly suspicious of any odd deliveries to areas that shouldn't have them.
- 1:50:28SPEAKER_24: You wouldn't expect any shipments in the barrels to be coming.
- 1:50:34SPEAKER_15: Well, we are expecting quite a few shipments right now as the trade has just arrived.
- 1:50:38SPEAKER_33: I would just be highly demand to see into them, look physically into them.
- 1:50:45SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 1:50:46SPEAKER_14: Yes, we will be on alert, but I can't guarantee anything.
- 1:50:49SPEAKER_33: No, I know, I know, just to make you aware.
- 1:50:52SPEAKER_42: And on that note, I was gonna ask if we were actually like traveling through the city, because I'm I want to be on watching for that to see if there are any such people.
- 1:51:01SPEAKER_33: You're gonna be actively looking for the show.
- 1:51:03SPEAKER_42: Oh yeah, I'm actively looking for that.
- 1:51:04SPEAKER_42: And of course, obsidian shadows at the same time.
- 1:51:08SPEAKER_06: I would have wanted to warn you guys about the barrels, but I figured if I'd done it subtly with my speaking, you're not here.
- 1:51:14SPEAKER_06: We're not here.
- 1:51:16SPEAKER_24: Okay, let's go to the stables.
- 1:51:18SPEAKER_34: Yeah, alright.
- 1:51:21SPEAKER_15: Right.
- 1:51:22SPEAKER_15: Um, so we head back, uh, and it's like it's like a block back at the stables.
- 1:51:28SPEAKER_15: Um as you walk through the manor, you can see that they're kind of getting things set up for uh you know, just for the daily activities.
- 1:51:38SPEAKER_15: Um still morning.

- 1:53:09SPEAKER_15: Uh boy comes back very shortly and he brings the stable master.
- 1:53:13SPEAKER_15: And it's uh it's just uh normal dude comes up and he says, like, yes, what can I do?

- 2:09:29SPEAKER_33: And we are, and I'm gonna pull the thing out from that captain just gave us, they gave us the general status.
- 2:09:35SPEAKER_30: We're also Generals with the captain captain of the guard who inspects.
- 2:09:43SPEAKER_15: Right, yes.
- 2:09:44SPEAKER_15: I know who that is.
- 2:09:46SPEAKER_26: Yeah, she she has a very high opinion of us and would take our word.
- 2:09:50SPEAKER_15: Genie shut down my last shipment.
- 2:09:53SPEAKER_33: If we recommended you as a fine upstanding citizen, right.
- 2:09:59SPEAKER_15: That would who doesn't bend his prices, right?
- 2:10:04SPEAKER_15: For just anyone I'm picking up what you're putting down.
- 2:10:06SPEAKER_25: Questionable shipments and sell to questionable individuals.
- 2:10:10SPEAKER_15: Well, listen, that wasn't my fault.
- 2:10:11SPEAKER_30: See, no, I I don't care about your past.
- 2:10:14SPEAKER_30: We're not gonna tell if we have nothing to tell.
- 2:10:23SPEAKER_15: I think you're trying to blackmail me, but I'm not sure what that is.
- 2:10:28SPEAKER_33: I'm confused more reasonable prices because I can guarantee you we will be repeat customers if we get good service.
- 2:10:37SPEAKER_33: And we have a lot of money to spend in the future.
- 2:10:40SPEAKER_15: Okay, fine.
- 2:10:42SPEAKER_15: Fine.
- 2:10:42SPEAKER_15: If 40 gold pieces apiece is too much, I'll do both of these for 80.
- 2:10:49SPEAKER_15: That's for which two?
- 2:10:52SPEAKER_30: Do I look like I can't count?
- 2:10:57SPEAKER_43: Making me uncomfortable for um.
- 2:11:00SPEAKER_43: I would think 30 for both would be fair.
- 2:11:02SPEAKER_43: 30 for both.
- 2:11:03SPEAKER_43: That's less than for one! Right.
- 2:11:06SPEAKER_43: There would be 15 for the original one.
- 2:11:08SPEAKER_43: No, for that one.
- 2:11:09SPEAKER_43: I'm talking about the game.
- 2:11:13SPEAKER_33: Not to mention all the future business we could bring when we do occasionally come across magical things.
- 2:11:18SPEAKER_33: We don't really need to.
- 2:11:19SPEAKER_42: Yes, and we can obviously give you this mace and just sort of show them the game.
- 2:11:23SPEAKER_15: Oh, that's yeah, that one's worth 15 gold, yeah.
- 2:11:26SPEAKER_15: Yeah, so that's so I'll knock that off.
- 2:11:29SPEAKER_15: Right?
- 2:11:30SPEAKER_15: So 45 minus 15.
- 2:11:33SPEAKER_24: For for both items.
- 2:11:34SPEAKER_15: No, no, no, no, no.
- 2:11:36SPEAKER_15: You see, I can't let this go for more for less than what I'm asking.
- 2:11:41SPEAKER_15: So I'll tell you what I'll do.
- 2:11:43SPEAKER_15: I'll tell you what I'll do, alright?
- 2:11:44SPEAKER_15: You take them both, you add them together, right?
- 2:11:48SPEAKER_15: That's 80.
- 2:11:49SPEAKER_15: Okay?
- 2:11:50SPEAKER_15: You take that mace, well minus our 15 from the eight.
- 2:11:55SPEAKER_15: That's 70.
- 2:11:57SPEAKER_15: Your ring.
- 2:12:00SPEAKER_15: Well, I heard a voice and I didn't know.
- 2:12:02SPEAKER_24: It is 65.
- 2:12:03SPEAKER_24: I can't count.
- 2:12:04SPEAKER_14: No, I well listen, don't you be accusing me of not counting?
- 2:12:09SPEAKER_14: I've been owning this shopping.
- 2:12:10SPEAKER_30: Oh no, I know you're very sharp.
- 2:12:12SPEAKER_30: You're on it.
- 2:12:13SPEAKER_30: Which is why I also know you're trying to protect your profit margin.
- 2:12:17SPEAKER_14: Right.
- 2:12:18SPEAKER_14: Yes!
- 2:12:19SPEAKER_33: However, I also know that repeat customers who might also bring you more things that you can sell and mark up is also a valuable resource, and people who can put in a good word to people who inspect your shipments is also a valuable resource.
- 2:12:32SPEAKER_15: Right.
- 2:12:33SPEAKER_33: We're looking at long-term gain.
- 2:12:36SPEAKER_15: Right, this isn't a gain.
- 2:12:39SPEAKER_24: Gain.
- 2:12:40SPEAKER_15: Gain, oh, yeah.
- 2:12:42SPEAKER_24: I have a silvery moon accent, I know.
- 2:12:43SPEAKER_15: Oh, right.
- 2:12:44SPEAKER_15: I mean that figure this, yeah.
- 2:12:46SPEAKER_15: Um, right.
- 2:12:48SPEAKER_15: Um, I'll tell you what.
- 2:12:52SPEAKER_15: I'll do both of the items that you're looking at, plus you give me the mace.
- 2:13:00SPEAKER_33: And you throw in his ring.
- 2:13:02SPEAKER_15: So I'm not doing that.
- 2:13:03SPEAKER_15: I don't even know what that thing does.
- 2:13:05SPEAKER_33: Well, it could do nothing.
- 2:13:06SPEAKER_15: Right, okay, fine, fine.
- 2:13:07SPEAKER_33: It can just be really pretty, and it is actually quite pretty.
- 2:13:10SPEAKER_15: Alright, so I'll give you the ring for free, because it offsets the price of the mace.
- 2:13:16SPEAKER_15: And then we'll add those two things together, and it'll be 81.
- 2:13:19SPEAKER_42: You just went up in price.
- 2:13:21SPEAKER_15: What?
- 2:13:21SPEAKER_33: It's sh yeah.
- 2:13:23SPEAKER_33: He can count too.
- 2:13:24SPEAKER_33: Can't read, but he can count.
- 2:13:26SPEAKER_14: I know what I said.
- 2:13:28SPEAKER_14: 81.
- 2:13:29SPEAKER_14: Easy, done.
- 2:13:30SPEAKER_14: 60.
- 2:13:31SPEAKER_14: You're making money.
- 2:13:32SPEAKER_14: 40 gold for both.
- 2:13:34SPEAKER_14: Well, that's double.
- 2:13:35SPEAKER_33: That's just a joke.
- 2:13:36SPEAKER_33: The man has to make a profit.
- 2:13:38SPEAKER_33: No, let's go to 65.
- 2:13:40SPEAKER_14: 65 to be fair.
- 2:13:43SPEAKER_14: 65.
- 2:13:44SPEAKER_15: And then I get the mace.
- 2:13:46SPEAKER_15: And then 50 for the ring.
- 2:13:47SPEAKER_42: 50.
- 2:13:48SPEAKER_42: The ring's included in that.
- 2:13:49SPEAKER_26: The ring was your gift for goodwill.
- 2:13:52SPEAKER_15: I don't know who that is.
- 2:13:54SPEAKER_27: He's the man who inspects your shipment.
- 2:13:57SPEAKER_15: That's a woman.
- 2:13:59SPEAKER_15: I think you're confused, man.
- 2:14:02SPEAKER_15: I will.

- 2:14:21SPEAKER_16: Nope.
- 2:14:22SPEAKER_16: I feel it.
- 2:14:25SPEAKER_27: 18.
- 2:14:25SPEAKER_33: I rolled two 17s.

- 2:15:05SPEAKER_15: Here you are.

- 2:25:09SPEAKER_15: Uh so you guys are all gonna you're meeting up at the temple or are you meeting up at the museum?
- 2:25:13SPEAKER_15: Just meet at the temple.
- 2:25:14SPEAKER_33: We're going to the temple.
- 2:25:16SPEAKER_33: I would like to go to a library still.
- 2:25:18SPEAKER_33: He needs to do with maps at the library, I assume.
- 2:25:20SPEAKER_15: Yes.
- 2:25:20SPEAKER_15: Alright.
- 2:25:21SPEAKER_33: And then we're all gonna meet at the archive.
- 2:25:22SPEAKER_33: I don't know where else these people are going.
- 2:25:24SPEAKER_15: Let's head to the temple then.
- 2:25:28SPEAKER_15: Uh so you gotta cross through the marketplace, it's nice and easy to get through, and you come to the temple, and uh it's kind of like you're looking to talk to the Raven Queen.
- 2:25:41SPEAKER_34: Yes.
- 2:25:41SPEAKER_34: That is correct.
- 2:25:43SPEAKER_15: That is correct.
- 2:25:46SPEAKER_34: Try it out.
- 2:25:48SPEAKER_15: Yeah, I get it.
- 2:25:50SPEAKER_15: Um, so you go in, and uh as expected, it's kind of like the sun's kind of pouring through some of the side windows.
- 2:26:05SPEAKER_15: But there's darker areas, and you can see this is more like a a temple that has been used for other things in the past, but has definitely the qualities in the areas that you're looking for.
- 2:26:21SPEAKER_15: Cool.
- 2:26:22SPEAKER_27: I assume Roland and I just respectfully stand back and let you.
- 2:26:26SPEAKER_34: Yeah, you can wait outside and I'll be like, Well, I'm gonna wait in the temple.
- 2:26:29SPEAKER_33: I'm just gonna look around.
- 2:26:31SPEAKER_33: But I'm not gonna interfere with whatever's going on.
- 2:26:33SPEAKER_13: I'm I'm I'm with you guys.
- 2:26:35unknown: Mr.
- 2:26:36SPEAKER_34: Draxon here too.
- 2:26:37SPEAKER_33: Yeah.
- 2:26:37SPEAKER_33: We're just gonna let him do his and I'm just gonna.
- 2:26:40SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
- 2:26:41SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
- 2:26:41SPEAKER_13: Let's just hang out.
- 2:26:42SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
- 2:26:42SPEAKER_13: Let's find a pew that we like.
- 2:26:46SPEAKER_13: You can do your thing.
- 2:26:47SPEAKER_34: Yeah, and I'm gonna find a maybe like a prayer spot in a room or something like that.
- 2:26:56SPEAKER_15: So as you're walking through the temple, you're kind of like letting your fingers graze along the edges of the pews, just trying to figure out where you're going.
- 2:27:05SPEAKER_15: And uh there's a flutter of wings that you can hear, and uh there's a black feather that kind of like floats down and settles right in front of the doorway.
- 2:27:21SPEAKER_15: It's kind of dark doorway.
- 2:27:23SPEAKER_34: And I'll walk over the doorway and I'll pick up the feather and I'll walk into the room.
- 2:27:26SPEAKER_15: So you walk into the room, it's not actually a room, it's a staircase that goes up.
- 2:27:30SPEAKER_34: And I'll follow it up.
- 2:27:31SPEAKER_15: Yeah, and it uh kind of winds a little bit, takes you up to one of the spires of the temple, and it's just an open room.
- 2:27:38SPEAKER_15: It's very, very dark.
- 2:27:39SPEAKER_15: There's windows that are slit really high up.
- 2:27:42SPEAKER_15: Um could have perhaps been used in previous times as like an armament room where you would shoot arrows down, so the windows are very thin.
- 2:27:54SPEAKER_15: But uh yeah, there's uh candles in the room kind of lighting it very, very quietly, and you could you're all to yourself.
- 2:28:01SPEAKER_34: Perfect.
- 2:28:02SPEAKER_34: Well kneel down.
- 2:28:04SPEAKER_34: I just find where it feels the most comfortable.
- 2:28:08SPEAKER_34: Kneel down and just close my eyes and pray and just see if I can connect with her.
- 2:28:17SPEAKER_15: So you uh you kneel down and it's pretty quiet.
- 2:28:30SPEAKER_15: You hear kind of like the sound of the temple kind of fade away and hear like faint footsteps of the monks and whatnot.
- 2:28:41SPEAKER_15: And uh they're just kind of like coming up quietly in the darkness.
- 2:28:48SPEAKER_15: But the usual very quick reaction of you just all of a sudden being in her presence doesn't really happen.
- 2:29:01SPEAKER_15: But then you can feel kind of the room start to spin, almost like you've got the spins or you've had too much mead, and the floor kind of falls away from underneath you.
- 2:29:14SPEAKER_15: And you found yourself like hovering, and then slowly you dip down into the familiar feel of your feet going ankle deep into frigid cold water.
- 2:29:28SPEAKER_15: And you open your eyes and there's nothing again in front of you.
- 2:29:33SPEAKER_15: Just that angle-deep surface water without a ripple.
- 2:29:48SPEAKER_34: I'll look into the surroundings and see if anything looks a little bit more familiar, like if he's been there or if it's just someone that is new.
- 2:30:00SPEAKER_15: There's nothing there.
- 2:30:01SPEAKER_15: You turn kind of like around to look, and nothing's there, and then you turn back and boom! There she is, ringing quick, standing right in front of you.
- 2:30:15SPEAKER_42: Jump scare.
- 2:30:17SPEAKER_15: Terrible jump scare.
- 2:30:22SPEAKER_15: Terrible, terrible jump scare.
- 2:30:24SPEAKER_34: I if I'm in needy at all, go down on my knees and bow to her.
- 2:30:30SPEAKER_34: And you go on my knees and bow to her.
- 2:30:33SPEAKER_15: So you go down and you feel like the water like soak into your pants, and you can feel it waking up.
- 2:30:42SPEAKER_15: And it almost is like it's chilling your legs and chilling your bones.
- 2:30:47SPEAKER_15: And she just stares at you and she's again emotionless on her face.
- 2:30:58SPEAKER_34: Rise.
- 2:31:01SPEAKER_34: Oh god.
- 2:31:02SPEAKER_34: Stand up and stand up and be right in front of her.
- 2:31:08SPEAKER_15: She is as tall as you are.
- 2:31:14SPEAKER_34: Yeah, well, I wanna just look at her and just ask her.
- 2:31:20SPEAKER_34: I've done good on my last like the last uh how can I say that?
- 2:31:31SPEAKER_34: Um, if I've kind of fulfilled a little bit of what she wanted.
- 2:31:39SPEAKER_34: Like trying to get rid of as much of the dark the undead as I can.
- 2:31:46SPEAKER_15: So you're shocked at the sound of your own voice that doesn't seem to carry echo.
- 2:31:54SPEAKER_15: It just seems to leave your mouth and flatten in the air.
- 2:32:00SPEAKER_15: And she looks at you, she looks at you, she's not breaking eye contact with you at all, and you can look into her black holes that are in the mask that she wears where her face would be, and you just almost see like space.
- 2:32:16SPEAKER_15: Right?
- 2:32:18SPEAKER_15: And uh she goes, I am content for now.
- 2:32:30SPEAKER_13: Tell me, Drunken, who have you vanquished in my name as of yet?
- 2:32:43SPEAKER_34: Well, I've tried my hardest to talk with two of my party members and explain to them what my purpose is.
- 2:32:57SPEAKER_34: And show them that I don't like what they're doing, and I think their souls are going the wrong way.
- 2:33:05SPEAKER_34: And trying to get them to understand that if they follow this path, they're gonna lose themselves.
- 2:33:13SPEAKER_15: So as you say that, there's a flutter of wings right behind you.
- 2:33:19SPEAKER_15: And you can sense that you're not the only entity there now.
- 2:33:24SPEAKER_15: There's ravens that have landed in the water and it's all standing around you, and they're just sitting there staring at you, and she goes, Well, my champion, I don't recall equipping you with the power to speak to them.
- 2:33:53SPEAKER_08: I thought we were under the understanding that you were to vanquish those.
- 2:34:00SPEAKER_08: Of the undead.
- 2:34:02SPEAKER_13: Not to have a conversation with them.
- 2:34:09SPEAKER_34: I do understand what you're saying, and I have when I notice they are in their other ways.
- 2:34:15SPEAKER_34: I try and use get rid of it as soon as I can.
- 2:34:21SPEAKER_34: So I do purge them of that darkness the moment that I see it.
- 2:34:28SPEAKER_15: You are merely brushing away a problem under a rug.
- 2:34:35SPEAKER_15: You are not fixing it.
- 2:34:37SPEAKER_15: I have sent you back to purge this world of the undead, and that is what you shall do.
- 2:34:46SPEAKER_15: Or what use do I have of you on this plane?
- 2:34:50SPEAKER_34: Well, there are many undead out there, anyway.
- 2:34:53SPEAKER_34: Every time I see one, I will purge it.
- 2:34:55SPEAKER_34: And I will get rid of that undead.
- 2:34:58SPEAKER_13: I will sit by idly.
- 2:35:00SPEAKER_15: Only for so long to be a nurse before I get agitated.
- 2:35:10SPEAKER_34: I understand that.
- 2:35:11SPEAKER_34: But there are some times that I feel yes, it is not the way.
- 2:35:20SPEAKER_34: But if it's gonna help save kids from losing their soul in the wrong way and not coming to us, I do feel that their powers can help us get those souls back to us and not to the other side.
- 2:35:41SPEAKER_34: But then the moment that we're done, I will purge them and I will use that power you have given me to purge them of their undead and get them back to where they should be.
- 2:35:56SPEAKER_13: See to it that you do.
- 2:35:59SPEAKER_15: And see to it that there's no more agreements made.
- 2:36:09SPEAKER_15: I don't want the undead roaming this world at any cost.
- 2:36:13SPEAKER_15: Even if the cost is the lives of the innocent.
- 2:36:19SPEAKER_34: And that's where we defer, because I think those lives.
- 2:36:25SPEAKER_15: And you don't defy me, Druged Beard nurse.
- 2:36:29SPEAKER_13: Or there will be consequences beyond your ability to handle.
- 2:36:34SPEAKER_34: And I understand that.
- 2:36:36SPEAKER_34: But I will purge this world of the undead.
- 2:36:39SPEAKER_34: I will be trying to take my two party members to the pool up north to purge them of their throttle.
- 2:36:48SPEAKER_15: See that it happens.
- 2:36:50SPEAKER_34: Sooner than later.
- 2:36:52SPEAKER_34: Where we will try to get to.
- 2:36:55SPEAKER_15: Do you have anything else that you wish to bring to my attention today, my champion?
- 2:37:08SPEAKER_34: As of today, no.
- 2:37:10SPEAKER_34: Not that I am aware of that.
- 2:37:13SPEAKER_15: And be gone.
- 2:37:15SPEAKER_15: She waves her cloak in front of your face and you open your eyes and you're back in the devil.
- 2:37:31SPEAKER_34: I will get up and I will walk downstairs.
- 2:37:35SPEAKER_34: And I will tell everybody.
- 2:37:38SPEAKER_34: It is time to go.
- 2:37:40SPEAKER_34: It is time to win.
- 2:37:42SPEAKER_22: We go.
- 2:37:43SPEAKER_34: Okay.
- 2:37:44SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 2:37:47SPEAKER_15: So you guys are walking out into the kind of the square again, you leave the the temple, and you know that the museum is just kind of beyond where you were another five or ten minute walk down the kind of the side roads, and then you'll be at the museum.
- 2:38:05SPEAKER_15: And it's getting on into the afternoon now.
- 2:38:08SPEAKER_15: Perfect.
- 2:38:08SPEAKER_34: Yeah, that's where we'll meet up and everybody else.
- 2:38:11SPEAKER_28: Well, I'm gonna go to the library at some point, but we don't have to do that today.
- 2:38:13SPEAKER_43: The library and the museum are one, they're in the same building.
- 2:38:17SPEAKER_43: Yeah, they're the same building.
- 2:38:18SPEAKER_43: Okay.
- 2:38:18SPEAKER_24: Let's go there.
- 2:38:21SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 2:38:22SPEAKER_15: Perfect.
- 2:38:23SPEAKER_24: We all Mr.
- 2:38:24SPEAKER_15: Jackson's like hey.

- 2:38:29SPEAKER_34: I just had to calm myself and talk to somebody.
- 2:38:35SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 2:38:36SPEAKER_15: You guys were looking for it.
- 2:38:38SPEAKER_34: Perfect.
- 2:38:43SPEAKER_41: Please.
- 2:38:46SPEAKER_24: Sure.
- 2:38:52SPEAKER_34: There's there's complications.
- 2:38:54SPEAKER_33: Gods are inscrutable.
- 2:38:56SPEAKER_34: So I have to figure some stuff out.
- 2:39:02SPEAKER_34: We can talk later.
- 2:39:05SPEAKER_33: If you need assistance, we can assist.
- 2:39:13SPEAKER_34: We'll figure it out.
- 2:39:15SPEAKER_15: Alright, so you guys uh kind of all simultaneously arrive at the museum.
- 2:39:24SPEAKER_15: Uh the guards recognize you guys from before.
- 2:39:27SPEAKER_15: They're still rebuilding the downstairs portion, but uh he says, Oh, hey, welcome back, you guys.
- 2:39:32SPEAKER_15: I thought you guys left town.
- 2:39:35SPEAKER_26: We did.
- 2:39:36SPEAKER_26: Briefly.
- 2:39:38SPEAKER_06: Raided the orc camp, got what we needed, and have returned to defend the city.
- 2:39:43SPEAKER_15: Ha ha, huzzah! Screw those orcs.
- 2:39:46SPEAKER_15: You guys got them all, I bet.
- 2:39:53SPEAKER_06: We stole all their prisoners and all their friggin' confidence.
- 2:39:58SPEAKER_06: That's what we did.
- 2:39:59SPEAKER_15: You stole their confidence?
- 2:40:01SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 2:40:01SPEAKER_06: They haven't been able to eat, they haven't been able to do their rituals, we took all of their prisoners, and now they're left with nothing but their leaders all the words of we're gonna hurt them, we're gonna take them, we'll wear their prisoners.
- 2:40:15SPEAKER_06: We got every single last one, rescued them, and showed that they're vulnerable to our attacks.
- 2:40:20SPEAKER_37: Oh.
- 2:40:20SPEAKER_06: We'll take the rest of them out when they try to counterattack or when we counterattack them soon enough.
- 2:40:26SPEAKER_42: I would say we call call it a win.
- 2:40:28SPEAKER_42: We rescued the children.
- 2:40:30SPEAKER_33: 22 brought them to safety.
- 2:40:32SPEAKER_15: Well, you guys want to go inside the museum?
- 2:40:34SPEAKER_33: And the library.
- 2:40:35SPEAKER_15: And the library, yeah, it's all yours.
- 2:40:36SPEAKER_15: Help yourselves.
- 2:40:37SPEAKER_33: Thank you.
- 2:40:37SPEAKER_24: Is um the car in the back.
- 2:40:41SPEAKER_15: Uh he should be in, yeah.
- 2:40:42SPEAKER_15: He should be around the back.
- 2:40:43SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 2:40:44SPEAKER_34: The real one this time?
- 2:40:45SPEAKER_15: The real one, yeah.
- 2:40:47SPEAKER_15: What are we doing?
- 2:40:48SPEAKER_28: So you need to use the information first.
- 2:40:51SPEAKER_28: So I want to go to the library portion.
- 2:40:52SPEAKER_28: Okay.
- 2:40:54SPEAKER_23: You guys going in?
- 2:40:54unknown: Yeah.
- 2:40:55SPEAKER_06: Is he one of the guard members?
- 2:40:57SPEAKER_15: Uh, who is?
- 2:40:58SPEAKER_34: He was just a guard.
- 2:40:59SPEAKER_15: He was just a guard.
- 2:41:00SPEAKER_15: Just a guard of the kitchen.
- 2:41:01SPEAKER_06: Um, but he's but he is a typical guard.
- 2:41:03SPEAKER_15: He's he's the same guard that you guys saw last time.
- 2:41:05SPEAKER_06: Alright.
- 2:41:06SPEAKER_06: But he but he but he is a member of the city guard, is what I'm asking.
- 2:41:09SPEAKER_15: Uh he is a city guard that's charged with working with the library.
- 2:41:12SPEAKER_15: Okay, then I won't worry about things.
- 2:41:13SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 2:41:13SPEAKER_15: You guys walk inside, and as you guys walk in, the guard says, Don't spend all that confidence you got.
- 2:41:20SPEAKER_34: As I burst out laughing.
- 2:41:24SPEAKER_13: Jeez, confidence.
- 2:41:25SPEAKER_13: Whoa.
- 2:41:30SPEAKER_26: Let's go for the library.
- 2:41:32SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
- 2:41:33SPEAKER_11: Sure.
- 2:41:33SPEAKER_42: Yeah, absolutely.
- 2:41:38SPEAKER_42: So we go to the library, yeah, exactly.
- 2:41:40SPEAKER_42: I start taking a look at the maps, and I guess I'm uh I really what you want to do is try and copy them.
- 2:41:46SPEAKER_42: Yep.
- 2:41:46SPEAKER_42: Uh how many maps are there?
- 2:41:48SPEAKER_22: You said that we had a bunch of maps that had the local area plus entrances to the underdark marked on them.
- 2:41:54SPEAKER_42: That is correct, I did say that.
- 2:41:56SPEAKER_42: So which ones are you looking for, Delphi, and which ones do you want copied?
- 2:42:00SPEAKER_42: I can only it's probably gonna take a while.
- 2:42:02SPEAKER_26: The Underdarks, Underdark first and foremost, and then if there's any interesting things, parts on the other maps that indicate old ruins, or things you think that are out of the ordinary for what you know of this area.
- 2:42:18SPEAKER_26: Because you're from the general area, right?
- 2:42:21SPEAKER_42: Yes, you bet.
- 2:42:22SPEAKER_42: This is the most.
- 2:42:24SPEAKER_15: So here's what I'll do.
- 2:42:25SPEAKER_15: I'll let you uh I'll let you roll for each one of those maps to make sure you uh copy them right.
- 2:42:30SPEAKER_15: Um because you're from this area, you do get advantage.
- 2:42:33SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 2:42:33SPEAKER_26: You said we have found a bunch of maps, including the Underdark Crystal Boro Etheria, Reader Etheria, and the local area.
- 2:42:39SPEAKER_42: Perfect.
- 2:42:40SPEAKER_26: And I just want them transcribed onto our map.
- 2:42:43SPEAKER_42: Oh, okay, so I'm just marking locations.
- 2:42:45SPEAKER_42: Just marking locations.
- 2:42:46SPEAKER_33: Copying them to our map.
- 2:42:48SPEAKER_42: Got it.
- 2:42:48SPEAKER_42: Okay.
- 2:42:49SPEAKER_42: And then like my best.
- 2:42:50SPEAKER_33: Because I want to know where the underdark ones, because it indicated there was one not apart.
- 2:42:55SPEAKER_26: Here.
- 2:42:56SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 2:42:56SPEAKER_26: Yeah.
- 2:42:57SPEAKER_15: So yeah, so go ahead and roll it, you get advantage on that.
- 2:42:59SPEAKER_15: It'll be your um that be history.
- 2:43:02SPEAKER_15: Survival.
- 2:43:03SPEAKER_15: Survival.
- 2:43:05SPEAKER_15: Well, hold on.
- 2:43:06SPEAKER_15: Survival for maps, but if you're if you're working with old maps and you're taking historical facts of old stuff and bringing it to the new map, I would say that would be a history check.
- 2:43:20SPEAKER_28: He is chained in history, I think.
- 2:43:22SPEAKER_15: Yeah, I think it would be.
- 2:43:24SPEAKER_15: Well, somebody else could be.
- 2:43:26SPEAKER_28: I am proficient in history.
- 2:43:27SPEAKER_15: Oh, well, I can change it.
- 2:43:29SPEAKER_42: Proficient in it.
- 2:43:30SPEAKER_32: It says you're proficient.
- 2:43:32SPEAKER_42: No, that's because I can move one around with the phantom ability every day.
- 2:43:36SPEAKER_33: Oh.
- 2:43:36SPEAKER_42: So currently I have nature, actually.
- 2:43:38SPEAKER_33: Well, you would have known that, like, I had already asked you to do this.
- 2:43:42SPEAKER_42: But I looked at the horses, that was why I took the physical.
- 2:43:44SPEAKER_33: Okay, well, I can help you.
- 2:43:46SPEAKER_33: I can help you with the history portion of it.
- 2:43:48SPEAKER_42: Okay.
- 2:43:48SPEAKER_42: Well, if this is history, I think it would be more up to you.
- 2:43:52SPEAKER_42: I'll do the history.
- 2:43:53SPEAKER_33: You can do the just map reading.
- 2:43:56SPEAKER_42: And, you know, drawing, because that would be the part that I was incompetent at.
- 2:44:00SPEAKER_42: I guess I have some sort of, you know, artistic talent or something.
- 2:44:03SPEAKER_33: It's just copying symbols.
- 2:44:05SPEAKER_42: Sure.
- 2:44:05SPEAKER_42: Yeah.
- 2:44:06SPEAKER_33: And recognizing how can you read a map kind of thing, which most people under millennials can't.
- 2:44:12SPEAKER_33: Yeah.
- 2:44:12SPEAKER_42: No, I definitely can.
- 2:44:14SPEAKER_42: That's the background as that you're supposed to do.
- 2:44:20SPEAKER_15: Well, he's gonna get advantage.
- 2:44:22SPEAKER_33: Okay, for survival.
- 2:44:23SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 2:44:23SPEAKER_15: For survival?
- 2:44:24SPEAKER_33: I'm trained in history.
- 2:44:25SPEAKER_15: So if you're gonna do if you're gonna do one and she's gonna do another, is that how you're gonna do this, or are you just gonna do it?
- 2:44:30SPEAKER_24: Well, you said you would do the it would be two separate checks.
- 2:44:33SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 2:44:34SPEAKER_24: Is what you said.
- 2:44:34SPEAKER_15: Well, I said it would be a check for each map.
- 2:44:36SPEAKER_15: Like to take stuff from the map and put it on this map.
- 2:44:39SPEAKER_06: So it's you with advantage for each map.
- 2:44:41SPEAKER_15: Yeah, that's the way we're gonna do it, unless you want to do one.
- 2:44:44SPEAKER_33: Well, you said it would be a history and a survival check.
- 2:44:46SPEAKER_15: Well, I was trying to think to myself, like, would it be history, would it be survival?
- 2:44:49SPEAKER_15: I'll just try to make a decision.
- 2:44:50SPEAKER_15: But since they're both relatively close to the same, I don't really care.
- 2:44:54SPEAKER_28: Well then you just do it.
- 2:44:55SPEAKER_28: Sure.
- 2:44:56SPEAKER_06: Do a survival check with advantage.
- 2:44:57SPEAKER_06: With advantage.
- 2:44:59SPEAKER_06: She's helping you do it.
- 2:45:00SPEAKER_42: Alright, first map.
- 2:45:02SPEAKER_42: Or well, first, yeah, the three times.
- 2:45:06SPEAKER_42: Uh 23.
- 2:45:07SPEAKER_15: Okay, so the first map, which is the old uh like local area, that is fine.
- 2:45:14SPEAKER_15: You're able to get all those locations on there.
- 2:45:16SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 2:45:16SPEAKER_15: Second map will be the Underdark.
- 2:45:19SPEAKER_42: So so what did that really give us then?
- 2:45:20SPEAKER_15: Because we'll I'll let you know in the future.
- 2:45:22SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 2:45:22SPEAKER_42: It'll happen in the future.
- 2:45:26SPEAKER_42: Uh this one is uh 17.
- 2:45:28SPEAKER_42: Okay, that works too.
- 2:45:30SPEAKER_42: Okay.
- 2:45:32SPEAKER_42: Uh third one, how many are there?
- 2:45:34SPEAKER_42: This is the last one, yeah.
- 2:45:35SPEAKER_42: Last one?
- 2:45:35SPEAKER_42: Okay.
- 2:45:37SPEAKER_42: And that one is a 18.
- 2:45:39SPEAKER_15: Okay, flawless, he gets them all.
- 2:45:40SPEAKER_24: So is that like just the crystal burrow area area?
- 2:45:43SPEAKER_15: Yeah, the crystal borough etherean area, and like all the different uh like the adjuncts or the ways that you can get into Crystal Burrow, the secret passages.
- 2:45:50SPEAKER_15: Uh the next one would be like the passages or entrances that you think are to the Underdark.
- 2:45:56SPEAKER_15: Um, and there's two of them on there.
- 2:45:58SPEAKER_15: And then the other of the final one is uh just like a greater Ethereum map of like old Etheria, some old dragons' caves and stuff like that that you would now be able to run across.
- 2:46:10SPEAKER_15: Oh, very cool.
- 2:46:11SPEAKER_27: So while he's doing that, I did have things I wanted to research.
- 2:46:14SPEAKER_23: You have to help, you have to write down the writing stuff.
- 2:46:18SPEAKER_06: Well, we're all in the archives now, right?
- 2:46:20SPEAKER_15: Yeah, you're all together.
- 2:46:21SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 2:46:22SPEAKER_15: Alright, guys, we're gonna take a quick break here.
- 2:46:24SPEAKER_15: Cool.
- 2:46:26SPEAKER_37: Hello, lady here.
- 2:46:30SPEAKER_37: We're going to take a quick break and we'll be back as soon as we can.
- 2:46:36SPEAKER_15: Alright, so you guys make it to the museum in the archives.
- 2:46:44SPEAKER_15: And uh it's kind of got that uh same ambiance as it has before.
- 2:46:56SPEAKER_15: And uh you get kind of like uh oh yeah, we were just here.
- 2:46:59SPEAKER_06: Kind of feel like we were literally just here.
- 2:47:06SPEAKER_06: Pardon me?
- 2:47:07SPEAKER_06: The picture of Menzibranzen is still probably prominently displayed.
- 2:47:10SPEAKER_06: Yeah, it's still there.
- 2:47:11SPEAKER_06: I take a moment to admire it and just commit more of it to memory than I can as I look it over.
- 2:47:17SPEAKER_06: The layout.
- 2:47:19SPEAKER_06: That's what I'm generally paying attention to, is the layout of the city.
- 2:47:22SPEAKER_06: As you say, it's a it's actually it's an actual representation, not a picture.
- 2:47:26SPEAKER_06: I don't know, this might be handy in the future.
- 2:47:28SPEAKER_06: I'm gonna look at them the layout of Benzembaranza and just kinda try to try to look at the way the roadways work.
- 2:47:35SPEAKER_06: See if I can commit some of that to memory.
- 2:47:39SPEAKER_26: You're seeing it from a distance?
- 2:47:41SPEAKER_26: You can't really see the roadways.
- 2:47:43SPEAKER_26: That's up to the DM.
- 2:47:45SPEAKER_15: No, it's good.
- 2:47:46SPEAKER_15: You're uh It's a good one.
- 2:47:50SPEAKER_06: I've been told it's an actual representation of it, so he's just looking at it, comparing it to other cities he knows, and trying to look at it.
- 2:47:56SPEAKER_15: Alright, so here's what we're gonna do.
- 2:47:59SPEAKER_15: You want spell scrolls, hey?
- 2:48:01SPEAKER_32: Yes.
- 2:48:02SPEAKER_15: Well.
- 2:48:03SPEAKER_32: I also have a bunch of different shit that I want us to Here's how I'm gonna roll it.
- 2:48:07SPEAKER_15: You're gonna spend the next hour of your time in the library looking through the library.
- 2:48:13SPEAKER_15: Spell scrolls do not really don't find them easily, but if you wanna roll me a investigation check, what's your arcana?
- 2:48:25SPEAKER_32: I arcana my investigation or both nine.
- 2:48:28SPEAKER_15: Perfect.
- 2:48:28SPEAKER_15: So roll me an investigation check then.
- 2:48:31SPEAKER_15: And then uh, and we'll say like so let's roll it like this.
- 2:48:34SPEAKER_15: If you roll, if it's a nine, if you roll a 12 or below, you get one.
- 2:48:39SPEAKER_15: If you roll a 15 or below, you get two.
- 2:48:43SPEAKER_15: Sorry, 15 or 10.
- 2:48:46SPEAKER_15: 9 to 15.
- 2:48:46SPEAKER_15: 9 to 15 is 2, 15 to 20 is you find three.
- 2:48:50SPEAKER_15: And there'll be random spells.
- 2:48:52SPEAKER_33: Random spells, random spell levels.
- 2:48:53SPEAKER_15: Random spell, random spell levels.
- 2:48:57SPEAKER_24: Hold a one plus nine, so that's ten.
- 2:48:59SPEAKER_15: So you find one.
- 2:49:01SPEAKER_15: Uh roll me a d6, please.
- 2:49:05SPEAKER_32: Five.
- 2:49:08SPEAKER_15: Well, that's the best one you could have got out of all three of them.
- 2:49:10SPEAKER_15: What is that?
- 2:49:11SPEAKER_15: Sweet.
- 2:49:12SPEAKER_15: So you do find a spell scroll.
- 2:49:15SPEAKER_15: Entitled Tasha's Mind Whip.
- 2:49:19SPEAKER_26: Uh, I already have that.
- 2:49:21SPEAKER_15: Oh, well, I apologize, it's the one you found.
- 2:49:24SPEAKER_26: Oh.
- 2:49:27SPEAKER_15: What am I supposed to do?
- 2:49:28SPEAKER_15: They're random.
- 2:49:30SPEAKER_32: Roll again.
- 2:49:31SPEAKER_32: I don't know.
- 2:49:32SPEAKER_15: Well, I did roll three, so I'll give you one of the other three, but this is the only time I'll do it.
- 2:49:36SPEAKER_15: Uh this is these are the two that these are the two that it rolled for you.
- 2:49:39SPEAKER_15: So, and I hope that you're not gonna be mad.
- 2:49:42SPEAKER_15: Because it was uh one is shield, and the other is mirror image.
- 2:49:47SPEAKER_15: You don't care which one?
- 2:49:48SPEAKER_15: Do you have either of those?
- 2:49:49SPEAKER_33: Well, I got a mirror image, but I don't want to.
- 2:49:52SPEAKER_15: Well, a wizard should not look thy gift horse in the mouth.
- 2:50:00SPEAKER_32: Running scrolls.
- 2:50:07SPEAKER_15: But those are what you find.
- 2:50:12SPEAKER_42: So what else were we doing here?
- 2:50:13SPEAKER_27: You have to deal with the maps.
- 2:50:15SPEAKER_27: Or you already did the maps?
- 2:50:17SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 2:50:20SPEAKER_15: Maps are done?
- 2:50:21SPEAKER_22: No, I found one.

- 2:50:34SPEAKER_06: And his thing was one to nine was one scroll.
- 2:50:39SPEAKER_15: There you go.
- 2:50:40SPEAKER_15: You find one more scroll, and it's greater invisibility.
- 2:50:44SPEAKER_15: Level four scroll.
- 2:50:46SPEAKER_15: Alright.
- 2:50:48SPEAKER_15: So you guys are in the library, and you find that you've got Delphine off looking for scrolls.
- 2:50:58SPEAKER_15: You've got Rold now copying maps, which you successfully did all three.
- 2:51:04SPEAKER_15: Is there anything anybody else wants to look for, do, or research while you're in the library?
- 2:51:08SPEAKER_33: Well, there's just nothing I want to research.
- 2:51:09SPEAKER_33: I don't know if anyone else wants to research on it.
- 2:51:11SPEAKER_15: What would you like?
- 2:51:11SPEAKER_33: I would spend my whole day here.
- 2:51:13SPEAKER_15: This is your gym.
- 2:51:14SPEAKER_42: I will stay with you, it's all good.
- 2:51:16SPEAKER_42: I'll ask Holy Anners to help me teach me reading.
- 2:51:20SPEAKER_39: Big ask.
- 2:51:21SPEAKER_39: That's a big ask, man.
- 2:51:23SPEAKER_39: That is a big ask.
- 2:51:24SPEAKER_42: Um, first, I'm gonna go I do under you know, I really appreciate it.
- 2:51:29SPEAKER_33: I am going to teach you some reading.
- 2:51:32SPEAKER_33: I am going to show him the first.
- 2:51:36SPEAKER_33: I'm gonna show him the names of some potion uh recipes I'm looking for, and I'm going to make him help me look for them by saying, look for these words.
- 2:51:48SPEAKER_33: I'm gonna write them out for him, and I'm gonna take him with me.
- 2:51:52SPEAKER_33: Fine.
- 2:51:52SPEAKER_33: And I'm gonna say, I'm gonna I'm gonna read them to him.
- 2:51:55SPEAKER_42: I understand I haven't been that nice to you all yet.
- 2:51:57SPEAKER_33: I want you to look for rose oil, for ivy ale, and for loaf of sight.
- 2:52:03SPEAKER_33: Remember these.
- 2:52:04SPEAKER_33: I write them out for him on a piece of it.
- 2:52:06SPEAKER_10: Loaf of sight?
- 2:52:07SPEAKER_33: Loaf of sight.
- 2:52:08SPEAKER_33: Fuck is that?
- 2:52:09SPEAKER_15: That's interesting.
- 2:52:10SPEAKER_33: You bake it.
- 2:52:11SPEAKER_33: You fucking bake it, okay?
- 2:52:13SPEAKER_15: And it makes you see.
- 2:52:14SPEAKER_33: Yeah.
- 2:52:15SPEAKER_39: Yeah.
- 2:52:16SPEAKER_11: It's magical yeast.
- 2:52:18SPEAKER_39: It is.
- 2:52:19SPEAKER_15: All right.
- 2:52:20SPEAKER_33: Uh and I'm going, I'm going to make him uh I'm gonna drag him along begrudgingly and educationally to look, please.
- 2:52:29SPEAKER_33: Okay, to see if I can find any of these recipes.
- 2:52:35SPEAKER_15: Alright.
- 2:52:36SPEAKER_33: Um, do I have to do now previously when I was learning?
- 2:52:39SPEAKER_15: Well, can he read?
- 2:52:40SPEAKER_33: No.
- 2:52:40SPEAKER_33: Previously when I was learning, teaching him by his own mission, he cannot, no.
- 2:52:44SPEAKER_15: Then I will not give you advantage.
- 2:52:46SPEAKER_33: No, uh previously I got the ABC is stuck in his head, and that as hard as I got in his I we got level one out of ten teaching him how to read.
- 2:52:55SPEAKER_33: I tried level two, but we were not successful there.
- 2:52:58SPEAKER_33: So um recognizing letters, I feel like that is a reasonable level two.
- 2:53:04SPEAKER_32: It's like recognizing a picture.
- 2:53:06SPEAKER_33: Yeah.
- 2:53:07SPEAKER_33: Exactly.
- 2:53:08SPEAKER_33: So he could if he can copy a map, he can also copy and recognize letters just basically by the symbol of themselves.
- 2:53:17SPEAKER_33: That doesn't necessarily mean that he can read what they say, but that he can recognize this is the same as this.
- 2:53:22SPEAKER_42: I'm sort of at the point of sounding stuff because obviously if we were trying lightning, it didn't work so well.
- 2:53:27SPEAKER_15: So I see what you're saying, but it's not happening.
- 2:53:32SPEAKER_36: No, that's okay.
- 2:53:33SPEAKER_36: That's okay.
- 2:53:35SPEAKER_36: I'm making the idiot that you never look at the green.
- 2:53:38SPEAKER_36: No, I I believe I believe that it was my persuad- I believe it again.
- 2:53:49SPEAKER_33: Yeah.
- 2:53:49SPEAKER_33: Was it my persuasion versus his for me to persuade him to remember the things?
- 2:53:55SPEAKER_42: I was in prison.
- 2:53:55SPEAKER_33: Because I may not get I may not get the benefit of his assistance in looking for things, but does he get the benefit?
- 2:54:01SPEAKER_33: Persuasion is a teaching skill.
- 2:54:03SPEAKER_33: It was it that's what he had me using before was persuasion um as as the skill for um if whether I can ingrain it into him.
- 2:54:16SPEAKER_15: Yeah, I think that's what it was.
- 2:54:19SPEAKER_43: Um teaching's wisdom, learning's intelligence.
- 2:54:24SPEAKER_36: I feel like I I feel like it could have been.
- 2:54:27SPEAKER_36: Well, you you were having me use persuasion.
- 2:54:30SPEAKER_15: I think it would be your persuasion basis his intelligence.
- 2:54:33SPEAKER_15: Is he able to is he able to understand what you're saying?
- 2:54:36SPEAKER_15: And are you able to eloquently say it well enough for him to understand?
- 2:54:40SPEAKER_36: I had to roll better than him.
- 2:54:41SPEAKER_36: Yeah.
- 2:54:42SPEAKER_15: Yeah, so that's let's do that.
- 2:54:43SPEAKER_36: Okay, so that was fine, let's do that.
- 2:54:45SPEAKER_15: Yeah, yeah, let's do that.
- 2:54:46SPEAKER_15: Alright, alright.
- 2:54:47SPEAKER_43: I'm working on the batteries.
- 2:54:49SPEAKER_43: Alright.
- 2:54:49SPEAKER_15: Okay, so right now let's do banners.
- 2:54:51SPEAKER_15: So let's start let's start with this, uh, and we can have somebody record this.
- 2:54:56SPEAKER_15: Since you are, let's call, let's call roll base level reading level one.
- 2:55:01SPEAKER_36: Yeah, he is currently level one, okay, and I'm trying to get him to level two.
- 2:55:05SPEAKER_15: And you have to get bet best of three roles to progress him to the next level, and you can only do one a day.
- 2:55:14SPEAKER_36: Okay, I uh no, I accept that.
- 2:55:16SPEAKER_33: Um I accept that.
- 2:55:18SPEAKER_33: Um, okay.
- 2:55:18SPEAKER_11: Like this?
- 2:55:19SPEAKER_33: One per day, let's see.
- 2:55:21SPEAKER_33: So it's is better.
- 2:55:23SPEAKER_11: She has to beat your intelligence.
- 2:55:25SPEAKER_11: She's gonna beat your intelligence.
- 2:55:29SPEAKER_11: She's gonna beat your intelligence so that she's my charisma has to beat your intelligence.
- 2:55:33SPEAKER_43: I want to learn.
- 2:55:34SPEAKER_43: I'm not actually trying to not learn.
- 2:55:37SPEAKER_43: This makes it more fun.
- 2:55:39SPEAKER_36: Nine plus you said persuasion was eighteen.
- 2:55:43SPEAKER_15: Eighteen's okay, roll intelligence, it's gonna be lower than that.
- 2:55:45SPEAKER_42: I gotta roll lower than an eighteen.
- 2:55:46SPEAKER_42: Good luck.
- 2:55:47SPEAKER_42: I rolled lower than an eighteen.
- 2:55:49SPEAKER_15: There you go.
- 2:55:49SPEAKER_15: Okay, so you gotta do it one more time.
- 2:55:51SPEAKER_15: Because you have to uh best of three.
- 2:55:53SPEAKER_42: And then I'm rolling what?
- 2:55:54SPEAKER_43: Intelligence.
- 2:55:54SPEAKER_42: Same thing, same thing.
- 2:55:55SPEAKER_42: Intelligence?
- 2:55:55SPEAKER_42: Same intelligence, yeah.
- 2:55:56SPEAKER_43: Okay.
- 2:55:57SPEAKER_42: Well, hopefully.
- 2:55:58SPEAKER_42: It's a jack that's
- 2:56:00SPEAKER_36: Yeah.
- 2:56:00SPEAKER_42: So you have to be smarter than someone to be able to teach.
- 2:56:03SPEAKER_42: You gotta be smarter than your average bear.
- 2:56:06SPEAKER_34: You can't have a stupid person teach and a smart person to read.
- 2:56:09SPEAKER_34: Absolutely.
- 2:56:11SPEAKER_15: Absolutely.
- 2:56:12SPEAKER_15: An eloquent person.
- 2:56:13SPEAKER_15: You have to be able to teach.
- 2:56:14SPEAKER_15: You can't just be like, read, dammit!
- 2:56:17SPEAKER_03: That makes sense.
- 2:56:18SPEAKER_15: Right?
- 2:56:20SPEAKER_34: Just like swimming.
- 2:56:21SPEAKER_34: No.
- 2:56:22SPEAKER_34: I think it's more about.
- 2:56:23SPEAKER_33: Okay, so I have you potentially halfway to learn.
- 2:56:28SPEAKER_34: No, I have to get two out of three.
- 2:56:30SPEAKER_34: You have to get two out of three.
- 2:56:31SPEAKER_33: I think you said I can only only roll one per day.
- 2:56:32SPEAKER_33: No, no, no.
- 2:56:33SPEAKER_42: You have to roll one teaching section a day.
- 2:56:36SPEAKER_33: At 17.
- 2:56:40SPEAKER_42: 17.
- 2:56:41SPEAKER_42: Oh no, 16.
- 2:56:42SPEAKER_42: Sorry, I don't want to be plus zero.
- 2:56:43SPEAKER_42: Yeah.
- 2:56:44SPEAKER_15: Plus zero.
- 2:56:45SPEAKER_15: You just create.
- 2:56:46SPEAKER_15: Wait, I need him.
- 2:56:47SPEAKER_15: He starts to fight you.
- 2:56:47SPEAKER_15: He's like, well, hold on.
- 2:56:49SPEAKER_43: Yeah, why would I draw?
- 2:56:50SPEAKER_15: And then you're like, no, no, no, I'm right.
- 2:56:52SPEAKER_43: He was like scenario.
- 2:56:53SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 2:56:55SPEAKER_42: Fine.
- 2:56:57SPEAKER_42: I think that's a great idea to roll a two.
- 2:56:59SPEAKER_42: I think you could add and then have a number to beat, but that's just me.
- 2:57:04SPEAKER_36: Alright, you are now level two out of ten reading.
- 2:57:08SPEAKER_36: Two out of ten to being able to read.
- 2:57:10SPEAKER_15: Okay, so that so two out of ten, let's just say you can now sound out consonants.
- 2:57:16SPEAKER_42: I'm I'm like at a preschool level.
- 2:57:20SPEAKER_42: No, I can already do that.
- 2:57:21SPEAKER_15: Could you already do that?
- 2:57:22SPEAKER_42: Yeah, well, I was doing lilitning.
- 2:57:27SPEAKER_42: You're like kindergarten.
- 2:57:28SPEAKER_11: You can like look at words and be like l- l t n.
- 2:57:32SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
- 2:57:32SPEAKER_11: Exactly.
- 2:57:34SPEAKER_42: Look at the name.
- 2:57:35SPEAKER_42: Yeah.
- 2:57:36SPEAKER_42: Don't know how much words for me.
- 2:57:37SPEAKER_42: The next one you can move up to cat and dog.
- 2:57:39SPEAKER_33: So now that I'm playing cat, that's sound.
- 2:57:42SPEAKER_42: I think of cat.
- 2:57:42SPEAKER_33: Now that I have taught him successfully that extra level up, um, even though it doesn't actually give me an advantage, I'm still dragging him along with me begrudgingly.
- 2:57:53SPEAKER_33: And and you can feel the begrudge.
- 2:57:56SPEAKER_33: Um, and but you can also feel the dragging that you're coming regardless.
- 2:58:00SPEAKER_33: Okay.
- 2:58:00SPEAKER_33: Because I'm determined to do this anyways.
- 2:58:03SPEAKER_33: I I'm making him come with me to look for these recipes.
- 2:58:07SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 2:58:09SPEAKER_15: Mr.
- 2:58:09SPEAKER_15: Drax is off in the self-help section.
- 2:58:11SPEAKER_15: He's got a book and he's reading it that says, How to be the real you.
- 2:58:23SPEAKER_02: Speaking of uh Mr.
- 2:58:24SPEAKER_02: Drax, I'd like to try something.
- 2:58:26SPEAKER_08: Well to do it.
- 2:58:27SPEAKER_08: What do you want to try?
- 2:58:28SPEAKER_02: I would like to try to use my character's echo avatar feature.
- 2:58:33SPEAKER_02: Alright.
- 2:58:34SPEAKER_08: What do you want to do?
- 2:58:35SPEAKER_02: It says uh you can temporarily transfer your consciousness to your echo as an action.
- 2:58:41SPEAKER_02: You can see through your echo's eyes and hear through its ears.
- 2:58:46SPEAKER_02: During this time you are deafened and blinded.
- 2:58:49SPEAKER_02: You can sustain this effect for up to ten minutes and you can end it at any time uh as a free action.
- 2:58:55SPEAKER_15: Cool.
- 2:58:56SPEAKER_15: I'm gonna change that ability to you switch places with if you if it's Mr.
- 2:59:02SPEAKER_15: Drax, you switch places with him.
- 2:59:05SPEAKER_02: I also have a teleport that just swaps places.
- 2:59:08SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 2:59:09SPEAKER_15: But this is your consciousness.
- 2:59:11SPEAKER_15: So you're gonna be in Mr.
- 2:59:12SPEAKER_15: Drax as the as the echo.
- 2:59:15SPEAKER_15: But your body will remain where you're at.
- 2:59:17SPEAKER_15: So you're Mr.
- 2:59:18SPEAKER_33: Drax is in the body.
- 2:59:19SPEAKER_33: And Mr.
- 2:59:19SPEAKER_15: Drax will be in the actual body.
- 2:59:20SPEAKER_15: And you can still have to be able to do it.
- 2:59:21SPEAKER_15: So that's the difference.
- 2:59:22SPEAKER_15: But you if you just trade places, you can still just swap.
- 2:59:24SPEAKER_15: But then Mr.
- 2:59:25SPEAKER_15: Drax goes to where you are, and you go to where he is physical.
- 2:59:28SPEAKER_24: Sentient, he has to go somewhere.
- 2:59:30SPEAKER_15: He has to go somewhere, otherwise he has killed it.
- 2:59:31SPEAKER_02: I wanna try it.
- 2:59:33SPEAKER_06: And you can also still add it as a free action.
- 2:59:34SPEAKER_02: All of a sudden, my guy's like, poof! Being your own self.
- 2:59:40SPEAKER_02: What am I reading here?
- 2:59:43SPEAKER_02: How am I doing over here?
- 2:59:45SPEAKER_43: Well, you can't see to what?
- 2:59:48SPEAKER_43: No, I'm changing that.
- 2:59:49SPEAKER_44: Oh.
- 2:59:49SPEAKER_43: He's gonna be, he's just gonna go into his body.
- 2:59:52SPEAKER_43: The consciousness are just gonna switch, right?
- 2:59:54SPEAKER_02: They only swap consciousness.
- 2:59:56SPEAKER_02: I start looking at my arm.
- 2:59:58SPEAKER_02: Whoa.
- 3:00:01SPEAKER_02: What's up, guys?
- 3:00:06SPEAKER_15: No, no.
- 3:00:07SPEAKER_15: He looks like me.
- 3:00:08SPEAKER_06: Does he sound or seem any different to me, the person that knows him best?
- 3:00:12SPEAKER_16: Are you talking to him?
- 3:00:13SPEAKER_06: I'm definitely observing him because I haven't started doing anything because I know.
- 3:00:16SPEAKER_16: Yeah, we wouldn't give you a lot of things.
- 3:00:25SPEAKER_15: Because Rax is just walking around.
- 3:00:27SPEAKER_15: He's just like looking at books, he's helping people out.
- 3:00:30SPEAKER_06: There's no visual thing to this change, right?
- 3:00:32SPEAKER_06: No.
- 3:00:33SPEAKER_06: No, we're just conscious.
- 3:00:35SPEAKER_10: He didn't know.
- 3:00:36SPEAKER_06: Unless he does something completely out of his thing or seems sort of on his sword side, we'll not react.
- 3:00:39SPEAKER_06: If he seems gazed in his normal self, then I might have to do it.
- 3:00:41SPEAKER_02: No, he's not doing anything.
- 3:00:43SPEAKER_02: My guy's just taking it all in, walking, picking up books, putting it down.
- 3:00:48SPEAKER_06: And just Mr.
- 3:00:49SPEAKER_06: Drax in his body just said.
- 3:00:52SPEAKER_06: Oh, hey guys?
- 3:00:53SPEAKER_06: He was just like, Hey guys, what's up?
- 3:00:57SPEAKER_06: I will take note of that.
- 3:00:58SPEAKER_06: I'd be like, I don't know.
- 3:01:00SPEAKER_06: What is up, Drax?
- 3:01:01SPEAKER_06: Not much, man.
- 3:01:02SPEAKER_02: Just hang it up.
- 3:01:06SPEAKER_02: My guy switches back.
- 3:01:09SPEAKER_02: What the hell?
- 3:01:11SPEAKER_06: Now from the other Drax.
- 3:01:13SPEAKER_15: I think I just had an I just think I had an out-of-body experience.
- 3:01:16SPEAKER_06: The other Drax says this.
- 3:01:17SPEAKER_06: I look to him.
- 3:01:19SPEAKER_15: Well they're like not close to each other, right?
- 3:01:20SPEAKER_15: Oh yeah, no, no.
- 3:01:21SPEAKER_06: We're like close to each other.
- 3:01:23SPEAKER_11: So you would have no idea.
- 3:01:24SPEAKER_06: One speaking, you know, I do speak in your head, and I go.
- 3:01:28SPEAKER_06: It just happened.
- 3:01:30SPEAKER_06: Would he pick up on that in any way?
- 3:01:32SPEAKER_02: Well, I don't think so.
- 3:01:33SPEAKER_06: No, no, here's my thing.
- 3:01:34SPEAKER_06: One character said, Hey guys, and then the other one goes, They're almost completing a sentence from each other.
- 3:01:41SPEAKER_06: But you don't know that.
- 3:01:42SPEAKER_06: You can't say that.
- 3:01:45SPEAKER_06: No, they're on the other side.
- 3:01:47SPEAKER_06: Okay, I'm basing it off if I can hear both these things, and I'm basing off you saying one thing and then you completing it on the other, and me going, No, no, no.
- 3:01:53SPEAKER_38: He's like completely in a different area.
- 3:01:55SPEAKER_06: I'm basing off that because I feel I would be attuned to split sentences.
- 3:01:58SPEAKER_02: You have no idea that it's happening.
- 3:02:00SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no idea.
- 3:02:01SPEAKER_02: And my character never actually said anything.
- 3:02:03SPEAKER_02: So I would only be one person.
- 3:02:06SPEAKER_06: I'm closest to the one that said, hey guys.
- 3:02:08SPEAKER_06: So yeah, my only response is Hey, how you doing?
- 3:02:12SPEAKER_02: I do respond to him asking shit.
- 3:02:14SPEAKER_02: Okay, anyways, my my guy comes back, or I come back to myself, basically conscious, and I'm kind of like take it in.
- 3:02:22SPEAKER_02: Get a nice wicked grin.
- 3:02:24SPEAKER_02: That was cool.
- 3:02:25SPEAKER_02: This is so cool.
- 3:02:27SPEAKER_02: Under my breath.
- 3:02:29SPEAKER_02: And then I proceed to go trying to find um Delphine or Einar, whichever character I come across first.
- 3:02:40SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 3:02:40SPEAKER_15: Um who wants to be the one that he comes across first?
- 3:02:43SPEAKER_06: I'm standing by the door.
- 3:02:45SPEAKER_15: You said you were standing right by Drax.
- 3:02:49SPEAKER_06: The other one wandered off, that's all I'm assuming.
- 3:02:51SPEAKER_15: But he's off reading his old book.
- 3:02:54SPEAKER_06: I'm by the door.
- 3:02:56SPEAKER_06: Go to whichever one you want.
- 3:02:58SPEAKER_02: Alright, so.
- 3:02:58SPEAKER_02: I run I run over to or Dirac's runs over to Einar, and he's like, brother, brother!
- 3:03:04SPEAKER_07: You'll never guess what I just did.
- 3:03:06SPEAKER_07: Wait, you'll never guess.
- 3:03:08SPEAKER_07: Yeah, I'm looking around at everyone else as he yells that.
- 3:03:10SPEAKER_07: Sorry, sorry, in a library.
- 3:03:14SPEAKER_27: Delphine gives you a dirty look as you yell.
- 3:03:17SPEAKER_07: Sorry!
- 3:03:18SPEAKER_27: Improper.
- 3:03:20SPEAKER_07: I say in your head, what did you just do?
- 3:03:23SPEAKER_07: I could see through my echo.
- 3:03:25SPEAKER_07: I could see through my echo.
- 3:03:28SPEAKER_07: It wasn't me.
- 3:03:30SPEAKER_07: I picked up a book.
- 3:03:32SPEAKER_07: That's not scene.
- 3:03:34SPEAKER_07: Okay, Kate, clarify.
- 3:03:37SPEAKER_07: You saw through your echo, but picked up a book with your eyes?
- 3:03:41SPEAKER_07: It was like when I flew.
- 3:03:43SPEAKER_07: Except I did it with Mr.
- 3:03:46SPEAKER_07: Drax.
- 3:03:47SPEAKER_07: Were you your echo?
- 3:03:52SPEAKER_07: I don't know.
- 3:03:54SPEAKER_02: I don't even know what's going on with myself.
- 3:03:58SPEAKER_02: I I think I I think I went into the Echo's like body temporarily.
- 3:04:03SPEAKER_02: It was so cool.
- 3:04:05SPEAKER_15: Can the next time you do this you be taking a shit?
- 3:04:12SPEAKER_15: Switch places with the stair track.
- 3:04:16SPEAKER_46: What the way to pass time, I suppose.
- 3:04:20SPEAKER_06: Good stuff to do.
- 3:04:22SPEAKER_06: I contemplate about three seconds and then I go.
- 3:04:25SPEAKER_06: Okay, cool.
- 3:04:27SPEAKER_06: What do you mean like so?
- 3:04:31SPEAKER_44: Okay, if you were in there, who was in you?
- 3:04:35SPEAKER_44: I I don't know what was happening with my my body.
- 3:04:38SPEAKER_44: I I wasn't I wasn't in my body.
- 3:04:41SPEAKER_44: Maybe we gotta- have you thought of talking to yourself about I mean no offense.
- 3:04:47SPEAKER_06: I'm talking to myself even when you don't know it.
- 3:04:49SPEAKER_06: And I'm asking some pretty hard questions.
- 3:04:51SPEAKER_06: I'm getting no friggin' answers.
- 3:04:54SPEAKER_06: Um that's cool.
- 3:04:59SPEAKER_06: I picked up a book.
- 3:05:00SPEAKER_06: I give you the symbol.
- 3:05:01SPEAKER_06: I give you the symbol just to emphasize.
- 3:05:03SPEAKER_06: What the fuck?
- 3:05:06SPEAKER_06: Like You know what?
- 3:05:09SPEAKER_06: You need to talk to like okay.
- 3:05:12SPEAKER_06: I know she doesn't know everything, but Delphine is the most learned person in this group or vicinity.
- 3:05:21SPEAKER_06: Maybe she knows more, but okay, brother, I'm gonna- I'm gonna admit something to you.
- 3:05:31SPEAKER_06: I know dad kind of said, you know, I got this, and what's the thing?
- 3:05:37SPEAKER_06: I have no fucking idea what I'm doing.
- 3:05:43SPEAKER_06: I'm just do you remember when he said being strong and being courageous?
- 3:05:51SPEAKER_06: Isn't the act of not being scared?
- 3:05:54SPEAKER_06: Of course, brother.
- 3:05:55SPEAKER_06: I'm fucking terrified, but I'm standing up and I'm standing my ground in spite of it.
- 3:06:03SPEAKER_06: That's what I know.
- 3:06:04SPEAKER_06: And I'm figuring this out as I go, but I'm not.
- 3:06:13SPEAKER_06: I know the criminal element.
- 3:06:15SPEAKER_06: I know people's nature.
- 3:06:17SPEAKER_06: I seem to understand that.
- 3:06:21SPEAKER_45: But these I barely understand what I am and what I can do, let alone what you can do.
- 3:06:29SPEAKER_45: That's okay, brother.
- 3:06:31SPEAKER_45: We don't need all the answers.
- 3:06:33SPEAKER_45: No, but we need the others and their knowledge, and I think that's what I'm trying to say.
- 3:06:39SPEAKER_45: I We'll get it, we'll get it in time.
- 3:06:42SPEAKER_45: We'll get their opinions in time.
- 3:06:44SPEAKER_45: There's a long sigh for me, and then in my head, you hear us.
- 3:06:49SPEAKER_06: I've learned that we can't rely on just ourselves.
- 3:06:53SPEAKER_06: We seem like we can do almost anything.
- 3:06:58SPEAKER_06: Like no foe or no problem is beyond us.
- 3:07:04SPEAKER_06: But there's more to this than just beating the next foe.
- 3:07:11SPEAKER_06: There's a reason.
- 3:07:13SPEAKER_06: There's There's there's mo there As I mentioned before, there's more I understand it now.
- 3:07:22SPEAKER_06: There's more to this than just the fact that there are things in life worth fighting and dying for.
- 3:07:27SPEAKER_06: There are things in life worth living and struggling for.
- 3:07:32SPEAKER_06: That's our struggle.
- 3:07:35SPEAKER_06: And letting their balance.
- 3:07:42SPEAKER_06: Where we need where we where we need it rather than where we need our instincts draw us.
- 3:07:49SPEAKER_06: I'm confused right now, brother.
- 3:07:53SPEAKER_15: I'm very uh Delphine, what did you want to research?
- 3:07:59SPEAKER_33: I don't know.
- 3:08:00SPEAKER_33: There's like five million different things on the research.
- 3:08:02SPEAKER_15: Pick your favorite three.
- 3:08:10SPEAKER_13: Okay.
- 3:08:12SPEAKER_27: Planner crystals.
- 3:08:14SPEAKER_27: How they might be made and how you might deactivate.
- 3:08:19SPEAKER_13: Okay.
- 3:08:20SPEAKER_27: I would like to see if there's any astrology astronomical.
- 3:08:29SPEAKER_33: Astronomical records of roughly within give or take 19 to 21 years ago labeling any comets that coincided with total lunar eclipses.
- 3:08:42SPEAKER_13: That's a big one.
- 3:08:43SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 3:08:44SPEAKER_31: Because people record astronomical.
- 3:08:48SPEAKER_15: Especially, yeah, especially people that are into like magic and all that kind of stuff.
- 3:08:52SPEAKER_15: Um, okay, awesome.
- 3:08:54SPEAKER_28: That doesn't necessarily have to be me doing all of that.
- 3:08:56SPEAKER_15: Well, can you I will assist with either one of those things?
- 3:08:59SPEAKER_33: No, you're busy talking.
- 3:09:00SPEAKER_15: Can you throw those three things, just copy and paste them and drop them in the chat, as you're as you're researching, and we'll say, like, just as the research goes on, just because I don't have those specific answers right now, that's why I'm asking you to do that.
- 3:09:18SPEAKER_15: Um you're in the library researching, you're kind of all spreading out, reading books, doing your own learning, uh, you're finding out your stuff, researching Einar and Drax having a bro moment.
- 3:09:31SPEAKER_34: I do have to have to do assisting her stuff after them, but okay, and then you're doing anything you're doing I well, I mean I can research some help since I'm not doing much anyways, and I've got some stuff I can research if you need it.
- 3:09:45SPEAKER_15: Okay, and rolled, what about you?
- 3:09:48SPEAKER_34: I was with I dragged him.
- 3:09:50SPEAKER_15: Oh, that's right, you're she dragged you.
- 3:09:51SPEAKER_39: I dragged him.
- 3:09:54SPEAKER_15: Alright.
- 3:09:56SPEAKER_15: As you guys are doing all of that.
- 3:10:01SPEAKER_15: Do do do do do do do do do the doors fly open to the library and the night air blows in.
- 3:10:16SPEAKER_15: Standing in the doorway with his hands pinned on the door frames, panting, is Guy.
- 3:10:24SPEAKER_15: Heiner!
- 3:10:29SPEAKER_12: Who are I under?
- 3:10:31SPEAKER_12: What are you in here?
- 3:10:33SPEAKER_39: I go bolted.
- 3:10:35SPEAKER_39: That's guy here and I'm gonna go.
- 3:10:39SPEAKER_11: There's turmoil! They're hills, they're covered in light! The orcs are here, they're at the gate.
- 3:10:48SPEAKER_11: We don't have a lot of time.
- 3:10:49SPEAKER_06: I'm already moving.
- 3:10:50SPEAKER_15: I came running as fast as I could, I couldn't find you anywhere else.
- 3:10:53SPEAKER_15: This was the last place anyone thought they saw ya.
- 3:10:56SPEAKER_36: Fuck.
- 3:10:58SPEAKER_36: Are you okay?
- 3:11:00SPEAKER_15: You see them he's like, pulls out his gun, flicks it open, puts it back in his holster, he goes, I'm ready.
- 3:11:07SPEAKER_06: I patted him on the back as I went.
- 3:11:09SPEAKER_06: I'm already gone.
- 3:11:10SPEAKER_06: I'm already gone.
- 3:11:10SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I'm ready.
- 3:11:12SPEAKER_36: Don't you fucking die on me.
- 3:11:14SPEAKER_36: Do you understand?
- 3:11:16SPEAKER_15: You lost the right to tell me what to do a long time ago, Lovey.
- 3:11:19SPEAKER_15: But let's go.
- 3:11:20SPEAKER_33: I feel like the right was lost in the other way around.
- 3:11:23SPEAKER_33: I also feel like he's not entirely in control of that.
- 3:11:26SPEAKER_33: No.
- 3:11:27SPEAKER_33: No.
- 3:11:28SPEAKER_33: If he dies before I have a chance to figure out what the fuck happened six years ago.
- 3:11:33SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 3:11:35SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 3:11:36SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 3:11:36SPEAKER_15: So, uh, what do you guys do?
- 3:11:39SPEAKER_06: Uh I'm already.
- 3:11:40SPEAKER_15: Where are you going?
- 3:11:42SPEAKER_06: I am heading towards the first, the closest gate to me to see these lights.
- 3:11:46SPEAKER_15: Okay, the way that Crystal Burrow is situated, okay.
- 3:11:51SPEAKER_15: You have your north, your south, your east, and your west, okay.
- 3:11:54SPEAKER_15: The north of the city faces the mountains.
- 3:11:56SPEAKER_15: There is a northern gate.
- 3:11:58SPEAKER_15: Exactly.
- 3:11:59SPEAKER_32: We all need to go there.
- 3:12:00SPEAKER_15: The northern gate is towards the manor.
- 3:12:04SPEAKER_42: Okay.
- 3:12:05SPEAKER_15: But it happens before the manor.
- 3:12:07SPEAKER_15: So it's on the eastern side of the north.
- 3:12:11SPEAKER_15: So northeastern in the city.
- 3:12:14SPEAKER_15: As you guys run out, you see the hillside littered.
- 3:12:20SPEAKER_24: Which side of the city is that on?
- 3:12:22SPEAKER_15: That is on the northeastern side.
- 3:12:23SPEAKER_15: So they're coming.
- 3:12:24SPEAKER_24: Surround.
- 3:12:25SPEAKER_15: Not surrounding, but they're coming in from the direction where they were.
- 3:12:29SPEAKER_15: And you can see lights all along the side of the hill and the mountain illuminating the forest.
- 3:12:35SPEAKER_15: And then you can see a long string of lights as there's a marching army of orcs coming out of the forest and marching towards the gate.
- 3:12:47SPEAKER_15: And at the head of that army is a large orc.
- 3:12:52SPEAKER_15: Throck.
- 3:12:53SPEAKER_42: Throck.
- 3:12:54SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 3:12:56SPEAKER_42: Okay.
- 3:12:56SPEAKER_42: Well, definitely going towards the walls trying to do the quickest route.
- 3:13:02SPEAKER_06: Man the wall.
- 3:13:03SPEAKER_06: What's the quickest route?
- 3:13:04SPEAKER_06: Including teleporting up onto roofs.
- 3:13:06SPEAKER_33: I'll go with you to the wall.
- 3:13:07SPEAKER_33: Okay.
- 3:13:08SPEAKER_33: Because we can fire from a distance.
- 3:13:10SPEAKER_33: Exactly.
- 3:13:10SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 3:13:11SPEAKER_15: So the quickest route is, like my opinion, going through the streets.
- 3:13:17SPEAKER_15: Like cutting, like jumping up on a roof and jumping over rooftop and stuff like that is not an efficient.
- 3:13:22SPEAKER_06: I wasn't tripping jumping, I was thinking teleporting.
- 3:13:23SPEAKER_06: I was thinking about it.
- 3:13:24SPEAKER_06: That's all of 30 feet.
- 3:13:25SPEAKER_06: Where is that going to get you?
- 3:13:26SPEAKER_06: If it got me closer, his goal is to get to double as soon as possible.
- 3:13:29SPEAKER_15: Sure.
- 3:13:30SPEAKER_15: You can do it.
- 3:13:31SPEAKER_15: You can use your teleport.
- 3:13:32SPEAKER_15: So you teleport.
- 3:13:33SPEAKER_06: Well, uh there's just an uh I'm ahead of running as fast as possible.
- 3:13:36SPEAKER_15: Sure.
- 3:13:37SPEAKER_15: Are you using a teleport or not?
- 3:13:38SPEAKER_15: You can use it, you totally can.
- 3:13:39SPEAKER_06: No, I'll I'll keep with the group.
- 3:13:41SPEAKER_06: Just running fast in front of them.
- 3:13:43SPEAKER_15: Okay, it's up to you.
- 3:13:44SPEAKER_15: It doesn't bother me at all.
- 3:13:46SPEAKER_15: So yeah, you can you get there, the group is running, and uh you guys hold together?
- 3:13:50SPEAKER_40: Yeah, yeah.
- 3:13:51SPEAKER_40: I am running in that direction.
- 3:13:54SPEAKER_23: Uh well we could.
- 3:13:56SPEAKER_23: If if you think it's worth it.
- 3:13:57SPEAKER_33: Within 500 feet of the wall.
- 3:13:59SPEAKER_23: Are you within 500 feet of the wall?
- 3:14:01SPEAKER_23: Yeah, sure.
- 3:14:02SPEAKER_23: But but how far are the orcs away?
- 3:14:04SPEAKER_23: Yeah, how do you think?
- 3:14:04SPEAKER_23: They're not at the wall yet.
- 3:14:05SPEAKER_26: I can put my hand on your shoulder and dimension north of the wall.
- 3:14:08SPEAKER_23: Wow, okay.
- 3:14:10SPEAKER_15: Okay, do you want to be on top of the wall?
- 3:14:12SPEAKER_26: On the top of the wall.
- 3:14:13SPEAKER_15: Yeah, perfect.
- 3:14:13SPEAKER_15: So there is at the northeastern side of the city, because it is facing the wilderness, it is a thicker wall.
- 3:14:19SPEAKER_15: They have actually fortified it.
- 3:14:21SPEAKER_15: You can walk along the wall.
- 3:14:22SPEAKER_33: Yeah, I assumed it was a like a wall.
- 3:14:24SPEAKER_33: Yep, you have someone walking up for it to shoot arrows from.
- 3:14:28SPEAKER_15: 100%.
- 3:14:28SPEAKER_15: Yep.
- 3:14:29SPEAKER_15: Yep.
- 3:14:29SPEAKER_15: And there are areas in there that you can shoot arrows from.
- 3:14:33SPEAKER_33: I just, if I could see the wall from where we are in the street.
- 3:14:37SPEAKER_15: You see it, yeah, no problem.
- 3:14:38SPEAKER_33: I just put my hand on your shoulder and I say, let's go.
- 3:14:40SPEAKER_33: And we dimension door, you and I to the wall.
- 3:14:43SPEAKER_15: Perfect.
- 3:14:43SPEAKER_15: Okay, you guys are at the wall.
- 3:14:45SPEAKER_15: When you get there.
- 3:14:46SPEAKER_33: Arrows.
- 3:14:47SPEAKER_15: When you get there, you are you are shooken to your core at the vastness of this army.
- 3:14:55SPEAKER_15: This is an army that has been sent here to level Crystal Borough.
- 3:15:03SPEAKER_33: How tall are these walls again?
- 3:15:05SPEAKER_15: 30 feet.
- 3:15:06SPEAKER_33: 30 feet.
- 3:15:07SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 3:15:07SPEAKER_33: Okay.
- 3:15:09SPEAKER_33: Um, so Einar, you teleport.
- 3:15:14SPEAKER_07: Nope, I'm just ahead of us running.
- 3:15:15SPEAKER_33: You're you're running, okay, these two dimension door.
- 3:15:18SPEAKER_33: Um, I'm gonna put my hand on Guy's shoulder and say, run, and I am just going to book it as far as fast as I can in the direction that he has uh told us that they are going to be, so towards the wall.
- 3:15:32SPEAKER_33: And I assume that anywhere that is good for the archers is also gonna be good for casters.
- 3:15:37unknown: Yeah.
- 3:15:38SPEAKER_15: Or shooters.
- 3:15:39SPEAKER_15: It's up to you.
- 3:15:40SPEAKER_33: Um is that the case?
- 3:15:41SPEAKER_15: You watch as you watch as you uh are running, you're running with Guy, and then uh as one of the lieutenants This may be a time to make a crystal go boom.
- 3:15:50SPEAKER_15: As the one of the lieutenants comes running by you and he and he looks at Guy and he goes, Oh really?
- 3:15:55SPEAKER_42: I got what you asked for!
- 3:15:57SPEAKER_15: And he said, Throw it to me! And you watch as this lieutenant pulls from his side this essentially a sniper rifle and throws it at Guy and he grabs it and he looks into it, looks down the site and puts it in, and he throws it on my shoulder and he goes, and he goes, get me somewhere high.
- 3:16:18SPEAKER_33: Okay, we go high.
- 3:16:20SPEAKER_33: I am taking him to the best vantage point on the wall that we can that he can shoot from, that I can cast from.
- 3:16:29SPEAKER_15: Yeah, there is the way the wall works is there's the gate, which kind of sits and that goes onto the road.
- 3:16:36SPEAKER_15: The road is roughly two miles that you can see, and just at the end of that two miles is where you can see the lights of the army starting to march down that road.
- 3:16:44SPEAKER_15: So you've got time.
- 3:16:45SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 3:16:45SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 3:16:46SPEAKER_06: So we're running, we're running from the road.
- 3:16:48SPEAKER_06: Pardon me?
- 3:16:48SPEAKER_06: Can we see this army kind of from the road?
- 3:16:50SPEAKER_15: You can't see it in because you are below the sight line of the wall.
- 3:16:54SPEAKER_15: But these three, sorry, four now, can see it all.
- 3:16:58SPEAKER_33: Yeah, me and Guy have run to get up the dimension.
- 3:17:01SPEAKER_31: I got it all.
- 3:17:03SPEAKER_31: So wait, wait, wait.
- 3:17:04SPEAKER_06: So wait, it's me, Drax, and Droop can throw this thing.
- 3:17:06SPEAKER_06: How far away are they?
- 3:17:07SPEAKER_32: If I don't need to dimension door, I'm not gonna dimension.
- 3:17:13SPEAKER_43: I know that's what I was like, you're gonna cast them on the middle of your road for you.
- 3:17:17SPEAKER_15: I'm letting it happen.
- 3:17:18SPEAKER_15: Um, okay, so you you don't have to, you can take that back, Nikki, if you want to.
- 3:17:21SPEAKER_15: As long as I can shoot it six.
- 3:17:23SPEAKER_43: I thought we were like six pairs.
- 3:17:25SPEAKER_15: Not at all.
- 3:17:25SPEAKER_15: They're just coming down the hill.
- 3:17:26SPEAKER_15: There's gonna be tons of um so from where you're at, there is a little kind of like a ballast where you have kind of like castle, like a spire that you can sit in.
- 3:17:39SPEAKER_15: Now you're leaving yourself open, but you do have primo vantage point on throwing spells and shooting weapons, but you are wide open.
- 3:17:51SPEAKER_33: Um is there anywhere that we can like duck behind or under in between uh shooting and casting?
- 3:17:59unknown: Um
- 3:18:00SPEAKER_15: Uh if you do if you want to do that, you've got to be lower and you've got to be down where everybody else is.
- 3:18:06SPEAKER_36: I asked Guy what's gonna be better.
- 3:18:08SPEAKER_36: Do you want to be open and or do you want to be totally open and have the ability to shoot, or do you want a little bit of coverage?
- 3:18:15SPEAKER_15: He's already sitting with his hand and he's got his rifle down and he's got the s the sights out.
- 3:18:22SPEAKER_15: He's like, Oh, I've got them in my sights from here.
- 3:18:24SPEAKER_09: I can pick them off right now if I want to.
- 3:18:27SPEAKER_33: Okay, I uh I am I'm staying with him right there then, and I am going to cast mirror image on myself.
- 3:18:36SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 3:18:38SPEAKER_15: Alright.
- 3:18:39SPEAKER_15: Okay, so one, two, three, four on the roof.
- 3:18:42SPEAKER_15: Uh Mr.
- 3:18:43SPEAKER_15: Drax is running with you.
- 3:18:45SPEAKER_06: Yep.
- 3:18:46SPEAKER_15: Uh, where do you four want to go?
- 3:18:48SPEAKER_06: I slow up just enough for mit for Drax, my brother, to catch up to me.
- 3:18:55SPEAKER_06: Brother, in his mind I say, no, this not Mr.
- 3:18:58SPEAKER_06: Drax, this one.
- 3:19:00SPEAKER_06: In his mind I just say, I think I'm gonna need you.
- 3:19:06SPEAKER_06: I need your arm, I need blood.
- 3:19:09SPEAKER_06: Trust me.
- 3:19:10SPEAKER_06: As we're running.
- 3:19:13SPEAKER_02: When I stop running, I bite his arm.
- 3:19:17SPEAKER_02: Hold out my arm.
- 3:19:18SPEAKER_02: I'll let it suck some blood to.
- 3:19:19SPEAKER_15: This is the one that's the echo arm?
- 3:19:21SPEAKER_15: No, no, no.
- 3:19:22SPEAKER_15: This is uh you get it.
- 3:19:26SPEAKER_15: Pardon me?
- 3:19:26SPEAKER_34: You get nothing.
- 3:19:28SPEAKER_15: Um, okay, so you're allowing him to feed off of you.
- 3:19:33SPEAKER_06: It is in front of him, and he hears it.
- 3:19:35SPEAKER_06: He hears me say, I think I'm gonna need blood for this.
- 3:19:38SPEAKER_06: Give me your own.
- 3:19:38SPEAKER_06: And Drax doesn't hesitate.
- 3:19:40SPEAKER_06: He sees us doing it.
- 3:19:42SPEAKER_15: Okay, so you see him.
- 3:19:43SPEAKER_15: I don't see it.
- 3:19:44SPEAKER_15: You don't see it?
- 3:19:45SPEAKER_15: He chooses not to say to me.
- 3:19:47SPEAKER_27: He's running.
- 3:19:47SPEAKER_27: He's running.
- 3:19:48SPEAKER_15: I'm not paying attention anymore.
- 3:19:49SPEAKER_15: We are stopping, we're in the midst of things, it's a quick one.
- 3:19:51SPEAKER_15: Alright, I'll give you that one.
- 3:19:52SPEAKER_15: I'll let you have.
- 3:19:53SPEAKER_23: Are you guys already on your shot or no?
- 3:19:55SPEAKER_23: You teleported 500 feet ahead of us.
- 3:19:57SPEAKER_33: No, he said we didn't do that.
- 3:19:58SPEAKER_26: We just ran.
- 3:19:59SPEAKER_15: You ran together.
- 3:20:00SPEAKER_15: They they they retroed it because Nikki didn't want to waste your spells.
- 3:20:04SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 3:20:04SPEAKER_33: We're not gonna like stop and look where you guys were.
- 3:20:07SPEAKER_42: I'm recommending this might be a good time to blow up a crystal.
- 3:20:11SPEAKER_42: Hey men.
- 3:20:12SPEAKER_33: Do we have any shards?
- 3:20:13SPEAKER_33: Because I think you're carrying shards.
- 3:20:14SPEAKER_42: That's what I meant.
- 3:20:15SPEAKER_02: I'm assuming we don't have a full crystal.
- 3:20:18SPEAKER_02: The the men, I guess, uh, or I guess like us, we're running towards the the gate, basically, where I assume there's a bunch of other soldiers.
- 3:20:25SPEAKER_15: Yep.
- 3:20:26SPEAKER_15: You can see the soldiers are lined up, and you see the captain is kind of standing at the main gate, and she's shouting orders, and as you guys pull up, she's like, Oh thank God.
- 3:20:37SPEAKER_15: We need you now.
- 3:20:38SPEAKER_15: We're here.
- 3:20:40SPEAKER_15: We're taking positions now.
- 3:20:42SPEAKER_15: Do you have anything that we can use to lob throw anything at these guys?
- 3:20:53SPEAKER_42: Other than myself.
- 3:20:55SPEAKER_33: You have a whole bunch of interesting arrows.
- 3:20:57SPEAKER_42: I do have a couple arrows, but I think more so if you can make that one of those shards explode.
- 3:21:02SPEAKER_42: Those are very impactful.
- 3:21:04SPEAKER_42: I think it's a good one.
- 3:21:06SPEAKER_15: Well you need to hit you need to hit them with a large force, right?
- 3:21:10SPEAKER_15: You need to pull them up.
- 3:21:11SPEAKER_43: Do we have a catapult or a trebuchet?
- 3:21:13SPEAKER_15: I'm sure you could find one if you uh got the captain to get it ready.
- 3:21:17SPEAKER_42: If that's what the captain has, I feel like that would be quite a bit of force if you whip it with a trebuchet.
- 3:21:21SPEAKER_15: Could do that.
- 3:21:22SPEAKER_15: What do you think?
- 3:21:23SPEAKER_15: She would need, she says, I've got one, but I need a couple people to go and get it.
- 3:21:30SPEAKER_15: It's it's back in the armament.
- 3:21:32SPEAKER_15: This is by we're by surprise.
- 3:21:33SPEAKER_31: Big strong man.
- 3:21:34SPEAKER_31: How far is it?
- 3:21:35SPEAKER_31: Big strong man.
- 3:21:36SPEAKER_31: Honestly.
- 3:21:37SPEAKER_31: You're more used to like.
- 3:21:38SPEAKER_31: I thought how far, how far, yes.
- 3:21:40SPEAKER_31: So those big strong men.
- 3:21:42SPEAKER_15: Well, 100 yards away.
- 3:21:44SPEAKER_34: You're going to get it?
- 3:21:45SPEAKER_34: Absolutely.
- 3:21:46SPEAKER_34: I could I could pull a thousand pounds.
- 3:21:47SPEAKER_34: Fucking crazy.
- 3:21:50SPEAKER_34: Yes.
- 3:21:51unknown: Good idea.
- 3:21:52SPEAKER_34: I will I will I will lead you first.
- 3:21:54SPEAKER_33: Or some something.
- 3:21:55SPEAKER_34: I will give AIDS to us three.
- 3:21:57SPEAKER_36: Because we'll give me aids?
- 3:21:59SPEAKER_34: Yeah, because we have the less of the hit points.
- 3:22:01SPEAKER_34: Okay.
- 3:22:02SPEAKER_34: What does that give us again?
- 3:22:03SPEAKER_34: Level three.
- 3:22:04SPEAKER_34: So we'll give ten hit points.
- 3:22:06SPEAKER_28: Okay.
- 3:22:06SPEAKER_28: Thank you.
- 3:22:07SPEAKER_06: I whisper to the captain as I come up right beside them, and I go, I'm gonna be in a unique position for you in this fight.
- 3:22:14SPEAKER_06: Because I feel unique positioned.
- 3:22:16SPEAKER_06: I feel I feel you feel unique scenarios.
- 3:22:19SPEAKER_06: I'm like, do you know of any spot right outside the gate where I can position myself for an ambush?
- 3:22:27SPEAKER_42: Just remember what we're doing.
- 3:22:30SPEAKER_42: Don't get too close.
- 3:22:31SPEAKER_42: You'll all go with two guards to go get the.
- 3:22:34SPEAKER_34: You don't realize what I'm doing.
- 3:22:36SPEAKER_34: Because you don't you you're gonna get it.
- 3:22:38SPEAKER_15: Okay, cool.
- 3:22:38SPEAKER_15: You take two big guards, they go with you.
- 3:22:41SPEAKER_15: So you're gone for the moment.
- 3:22:42SPEAKER_15: Uh you'll give all five minutes.
- 3:22:44SPEAKER_34: Cool.
- 3:22:44SPEAKER_34: After I give eight.
- 3:22:45SPEAKER_15: Yeah, after you give eights to everybody, you're out.
- 3:22:48SPEAKER_34: I'm not going that far out.
- 3:22:49SPEAKER_34: Typical mind.
- 3:22:50SPEAKER_15: Typical mind.
- 3:22:50SPEAKER_04: Dude, I'm gonna go to the city.
- 3:22:52SPEAKER_04: I guess that they use the gate and then you can instead of anything else.
- 3:22:56SPEAKER_06: It's worth positioning yourself to do.
- 3:22:58SPEAKER_15: How do you want to set yourselves up?
- 3:22:59SPEAKER_15: Right now, these four are set.
- 3:23:03SPEAKER_06: Yeah, we're up on the wall.
- 3:23:04SPEAKER_15: Yep.
- 3:23:05SPEAKER_15: What about you two?
- 3:23:07SPEAKER_06: I've gone up on the wall to look out right in front of the gate in the area.
- 3:23:10SPEAKER_06: An area where that that I could hide, that you could put me, my body in while I could wait for things that approach.
- 3:23:15SPEAKER_15: I mean, there's bushes everywhere.
- 3:23:18SPEAKER_06: Is there one in particular near enough to the gate, say within 15 feet or so?
- 3:23:23SPEAKER_15: Ah 30 feet.
- 3:23:24SPEAKER_15: I'd say anywhere in there.
- 3:23:26SPEAKER_06: Something that looks like.
- 3:23:26SPEAKER_15: Yeah, I'd say there's a bush close enough, and it's also twilight right now, so it's like it's dark enough that if you just jumped in there and were quiet, you probably wouldn't be seen.
- 3:23:34SPEAKER_15: You'd have to uh roll for stealth, but I'm sure you don't.
- 3:23:38SPEAKER_06: So, I do the bit of the general thing since these checkers know me.
- 3:23:42SPEAKER_06: I start rallying them a little, just saying, You've been trained for these moments.
- 3:23:46SPEAKER_06: And then I tell them outright, I'm like, the Planark Vanguard is with you.
- 3:23:50SPEAKER_26: Dark Night Rises is fast.
- 3:23:52SPEAKER_06: I will be in front of this gate holding the line.
- 3:23:56SPEAKER_06: And a warning now.
- 3:23:59SPEAKER_06: What I become might freak you out.
- 3:24:02SPEAKER_06: Or might perturb you, but know that it is fighting with you.
- 3:24:06SPEAKER_06: Oleander, I look to you.
- 3:24:08SPEAKER_06: That's quite a few.
- 3:24:09SPEAKER_06: And there's a thought- there's a there's there's a thought.
- 3:24:11SPEAKER_06: You know what?
- 3:24:11SPEAKER_06: I don't care if it's a lie, it's about inspiring them.
- 3:24:14SPEAKER_11: I turned to you and you just.
- 3:24:15SPEAKER_06: Oh, okay.
- 3:24:16SPEAKER_11: You just admitted it was a lie.
- 3:24:17SPEAKER_11: Roll deception.
- 3:24:21SPEAKER_06: 19! Wait, 19 plus I'm trained in deception.
- 3:24:25unknown: Are you gonna say it?
- 3:24:27SPEAKER_06: 23!
- 3:24:28SPEAKER_15: It's a very good lie.
- 3:24:29SPEAKER_06: Very good lie.
- 3:24:30SPEAKER_06: I'm inspiring.
- 3:24:32SPEAKER_06: There's a brief brief moment just to Are you gonna say?
- 3:24:37SPEAKER_06: Oh, Aaron, you're in your head.
- 3:24:39SPEAKER_06: You mean everything to me.
- 3:24:41SPEAKER_06: I'll be back as soon as I can.
- 3:24:43SPEAKER_06: If I can.
- 3:24:45SPEAKER_06: And with that, I sling my grappling hook onto the side of the thing, and Einar hops right on over, repelling down, and heads into a bush, and just crouches.
- 3:24:58SPEAKER_06: And seems to disappear into it as best as he can.
- 3:25:00SPEAKER_15: Roll stealth, check.
- 3:25:02SPEAKER_06: Woo-hoo-hoo!
- 3:25:05SPEAKER_15: Uh, 22.
- 3:25:06SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 3:25:07SPEAKER_15: You believe you are hidden.
- 3:25:09SPEAKER_06: I believe I'm hidden.
- 3:25:10SPEAKER_15: Alright, Drax.
- 3:25:12SPEAKER_15: Your brother just threw himself over the side of the fence or the the wall.
- 3:25:16SPEAKER_02: I am with the captain.
- 3:25:17SPEAKER_02: We are at the gate with the people.
- 3:25:19SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 3:25:20SPEAKER_02: My guy takes a moment to breathe.
- 3:25:23SPEAKER_02: And then I scan the gate and the wall looking for any barrels.
- 3:25:30SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 3:25:34SPEAKER_02: Potential explosives.
- 3:25:35SPEAKER_02: Roll an investigation check.
- 3:25:37SPEAKER_02: Brilliant.
- 3:25:37SPEAKER_15: Roll an investigation check.
- 3:25:40SPEAKER_15: This is a percent.
- 3:25:40SPEAKER_15: Well, I'm looking for the best each.
- 3:25:43SPEAKER_33: Well, they were already we were already aware of the barrels, so I don't know if it would have made sense without me to say anything about the barrels.
- 3:25:49SPEAKER_02: Four.
- 3:25:51SPEAKER_15: None that you can see within your immediate vicinity.
- 3:25:55SPEAKER_02: Alright, well then I uh I stand at the gate and get ready to attack.
- 3:25:59SPEAKER_15: Alright, as you guys are all getting in your place, you watch as the the army marches closer and then halts about 400 yards away from where you're at.
- 3:26:15SPEAKER_37: The large hulking orc steps forward, and you just hear him call out Those uninterrupted our encampments! I know you're here, and I will feast on the blood of every child in this village, regardless of the sun or moon they were born under.
- 3:26:45SPEAKER_37: Your families will weep when they have seen what I have done to you.
- 3:26:51SPEAKER_37: Unless you release those that broke into our encampment to us, we will run your town to the ground.
- 3:27:05SPEAKER_33: And there's 400 of them?
- 3:27:08SPEAKER_33: Oh no, they're 400.
- 3:27:09SPEAKER_11: 400 yards away.
- 3:27:10SPEAKER_11: That's beyond my telekine.
- 3:27:11SPEAKER_06: That's beyond my telekinetic building.
- 3:27:13SPEAKER_33: How many of them are there, did you say?
- 3:27:17SPEAKER_15: It's hard to count because you're just seeing the lights of the torches.
- 3:27:19SPEAKER_33: How many lights are we seeing?
- 3:27:22SPEAKER_15: Uh how many lights can you see at once?
- 3:27:25SPEAKER_15: We're talking probably close to 100.
- 3:27:28SPEAKER_39: Okay.
- 3:27:33SPEAKER_33: 100 individuals?
- 3:27:35SPEAKER_33: Individual lights.
- 3:27:36SPEAKER_15: That you can see.
- 3:27:37SPEAKER_33: Roughly.
- 3:27:38SPEAKER_33: They could be carrying multiple torches.
- 3:27:40SPEAKER_33: There could be, you know, a torch amongst every few.
- 3:27:44SPEAKER_33: They're like it is unknown.
- 3:27:47SPEAKER_15: You do have at your disposal along these walls roughly a hundred soldiers.
- 3:28:00SPEAKER_33: Can you inspire everybody?
- 3:28:02SPEAKER_33: Is is is the captain here.
- 3:28:04SPEAKER_23: She's there.
- 3:28:05SPEAKER_23: But you're not near her, she's on the ground.
- 3:28:07SPEAKER_33: She's on the ground.
- 3:28:08SPEAKER_33: Yeah.
- 3:28:08SPEAKER_23: So did you mention the barrels?
- 3:28:10SPEAKER_33: No, I haven't had a chance to yet, but he looked for the girl.
- 3:28:13SPEAKER_42: Okay, well, shouldn't tell people.
- 3:28:16SPEAKER_42: I don't know.
- 3:28:17SPEAKER_06: If you're suspicious, do your own thing.
- 3:28:19SPEAKER_02: That's what I did.
- 3:28:20SPEAKER_02: But I didn't see any my character didn't see any barrels.
- 3:28:23SPEAKER_02: Did you mention it to others though?
- 3:28:25SPEAKER_02: So people know.
- 3:28:29SPEAKER_15: She's at the gate.
- 3:28:29SPEAKER_15: She's with Drax.
- 3:28:30SPEAKER_33: That's intuition.
- 3:28:31SPEAKER_15: You're just you're on top of the gate, so you'd have to shout down.
- 3:28:34SPEAKER_33: Okay.
- 3:28:36SPEAKER_15: You two are not, though.
- 3:28:37SPEAKER_15: You're further along the gate in that little.
- 3:28:40SPEAKER_33: Okay.
- 3:28:40SPEAKER_33: So me and me and Guy are not within the side.
- 3:28:43SPEAKER_15: You could be, you get you, but you would be like shouting at the top of the gate.
- 3:28:49SPEAKER_15: 100%, yeah.
- 3:28:50SPEAKER_15: You could reach everybody in this party with a message.
- 3:28:52SPEAKER_33: How far is she from me?
- 3:28:54SPEAKER_15: She's not far.
- 3:28:55SPEAKER_33: You're not far from me.
- 3:28:56SPEAKER_15: She's maybe like 40 meters.
- 3:28:59SPEAKER_33: Okay, so, but she's within talking range of me and she's within talking to the channel.
- 3:29:02SPEAKER_33: No, she's not talking about.
- 3:29:03SPEAKER_15: Not like not like talking.
- 3:29:05SPEAKER_15: You'd have to be yelling.
- 3:29:06SPEAKER_15: Plus there's a lot of noise from the people that are running around.
- 3:29:08SPEAKER_33: Yeah, I'll just yell the barrels!
- 3:29:11SPEAKER_15: What about the barrels?
- 3:29:14SPEAKER_33: What if they're I mean if the What if they're involved?
- 3:29:18SPEAKER_42: Barrels.
- 3:29:19SPEAKER_33: Weren't they the uh you said they saw you have to be chatter?
- 3:29:22SPEAKER_42: Yeah.
- 3:29:23SPEAKER_33: I don't know.
- 3:29:24SPEAKER_34: Yeah, I'm not there, so I can't see my mouth.
- 3:29:26SPEAKER_33: You're you're too far for me to speak to you.
- 3:29:29SPEAKER_33: Unless you mess message, it's 30 feet.
- 3:29:34SPEAKER_33: 40 feet.
- 3:29:34SPEAKER_33: Mine is 30 feet.
- 3:29:36SPEAKER_33: My ability to put 100 feet.
- 3:29:38SPEAKER_23: Don't tell me what I can do.
- 3:29:39SPEAKER_33: Mine's under 20 feet.
- 3:29:41SPEAKER_33: I'm just going to message Valera.
- 3:29:45SPEAKER_33: Are there any look out for barrels by the wall, they might be sabotage.
- 3:29:50SPEAKER_15: Because we already talked to her about Yeah, you already talked and she's she just messaged you back.
- 3:29:54SPEAKER_15: She's like, this again?
- 3:29:55SPEAKER_15: She's like, I'll look, but I don't have time.
- 3:29:56SPEAKER_33: Just send a runner.
- 3:29:58SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 3:29:59SPEAKER_15: So she's like so she's like very well.
- 3:30:01SPEAKER_15: And she sends a runner, but I wouldn't put a lot of faith in it.
- 3:30:04SPEAKER_24: Yeah.
- 3:30:04SPEAKER_24: It's not enough time.
- 3:30:06SPEAKER_15: Where would they put them?
- 3:30:07SPEAKER_24: All around town.
- 3:30:08SPEAKER_24: It could be everywhere.
- 3:30:09SPEAKER_42: Along the wall, man.
- 3:30:10SPEAKER_42: Along the wall.
- 3:30:11SPEAKER_23: Exactly.
- 3:30:12SPEAKER_23: So can we look and see if we see them?
- 3:30:14SPEAKER_23: Yeah, you can run along the wall if you wanted to, but it's a long wall.
- 3:30:17SPEAKER_33: So there but the enemies are 400 feet from us?
- 3:30:20SPEAKER_06: 400 yards.
- 3:30:21SPEAKER_23: Yards.
- 3:30:21SPEAKER_23: Otherwise, I'd be shooting.
- 3:30:22SPEAKER_06: Can I do a perception check from outside the wall?
- 3:30:25SPEAKER_06: Looking for it now that they're all talking about it above?
- 3:30:27SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 3:30:28SPEAKER_15: Let's be realistic about this.
- 3:30:29SPEAKER_15: Just wondering.
- 3:30:30SPEAKER_15: You're all together at the same spot on the wall.
- 3:30:32SPEAKER_28: Yeah, I'm just wondering when I can do something.
- 3:30:34SPEAKER_15: So let's be realistic now.
- 3:30:35SPEAKER_15: I just want to communicate to everybody.
- 3:30:37SPEAKER_15: Yep.
- 3:30:37SPEAKER_15: You can communicate it.
- 3:30:39SPEAKER_15: He has mentioned it.
- 3:30:40SPEAKER_15: You have told the captain.
- 3:30:41SPEAKER_15: You want to do a perception check on it.
- 3:30:44SPEAKER_06: If I can, if I'm if I'm not provoked enough, I won't.
- 3:30:46SPEAKER_06: I don't mind.
- 3:30:47SPEAKER_06: Am I hearing enough to make me look around the outside behind the stuff?
- 3:30:50SPEAKER_15: So let me ask you this question.
- 3:30:51SPEAKER_15: What's more important to you?
- 3:30:52SPEAKER_15: Staying hidden in the bush or looking for these barrels that you have no idea that they're even talking about right now?
- 3:30:58SPEAKER_06: Well, if I have no idea that I'm talking about it.
- 3:30:59SPEAKER_15: You're gone, man.
- 3:31:00SPEAKER_06: So I'm only about three feet.
- 3:31:01SPEAKER_06: I was asking if I heard it.
- 3:31:02SPEAKER_06: If I don't hear it, then I don't care.
- 3:31:03SPEAKER_15: No.
- 3:31:04SPEAKER_15: You gotta choose what you're doing.
- 3:31:07SPEAKER_33: We're on the wall, I yelled at her, and then I used message to the captain.
- 3:31:11SPEAKER_04: Okay, nope, totally fine.
- 3:31:12SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 3:31:12SPEAKER_04: I was asking if I had picked up the sun.
- 3:31:14SPEAKER_15: So you're you're gonna stick with what you're doing?
- 3:31:16SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 3:31:17SPEAKER_15: Okay, perfect.
- 3:31:18SPEAKER_15: Um, yeah, so realistically.
- 3:31:21SPEAKER_33: They're not within range, yeah.
- 3:31:22SPEAKER_15: They're not within sight of Drax.
- 3:31:24SPEAKER_15: He couldn't see it.
- 3:31:25SPEAKER_15: He is not in, he's just baby been like the barrels, and I can't see any.
- 3:31:30SPEAKER_30: No, I'm talking about the enemies.
- 3:31:31SPEAKER_15: Oh, the enemies.
- 3:31:32SPEAKER_33: They are not within range.
- 3:31:33SPEAKER_15: They're not within range, no.
- 3:31:34SPEAKER_15: Not yet, anyway.
- 3:31:36SPEAKER_33: Okay, so since we are up on the wall, and I am the currently least useful person for watching, I think I should run down, back down from the wall, and see if I can do like a few round quick sprint back and forth to see if I can see any barrels along the wall on the inside.
- 3:31:59SPEAKER_15: You can go on the inside.
- 3:32:01SPEAKER_15: North or you can go south.
- 3:32:03SPEAKER_33: I'll go north.
- 3:32:04SPEAKER_15: You're gonna go north towards the manor.
- 3:32:08SPEAKER_33: And what's the what steps in the other direction?
- 3:32:10SPEAKER_15: The other direction would just be the rest of the city.
- 3:32:12SPEAKER_15: Ums the market and the basically.
- 3:32:15SPEAKER_33: I'll go I'll go south because they we were we saw them walking around in the market.
- 3:32:19SPEAKER_15: Are you on the inside of the wall or the outside of the wall?
- 3:32:21SPEAKER_33: Okay.
- 3:32:21SPEAKER_36: I'm on the inside of the wall.
- 3:32:22SPEAKER_36: I'll get you Because we saw them inside.
- 3:32:25SPEAKER_15: I'll get you to um now you can here's what you can do.
- 3:32:29SPEAKER_15: You can do a hundred meters at a really good check, or you can try and expand your search to 200 meters, but you're gonna be at disadvantage on your check.
- 3:32:38SPEAKER_36: I'm going to do a 100 meter rolling good check.
- 3:32:40SPEAKER_15: 100 meters, okay.
- 3:32:41SPEAKER_15: Go ahead.
- 3:32:42SPEAKER_15: So roll me an investigation check with advantage.
- 3:32:47SPEAKER_01: Um 15 and 10.
- 3:32:51SPEAKER_01: 15.
- 3:32:51SPEAKER_15: 15?
- 3:32:52SPEAKER_15: Okay, so you find.
- 3:33:00SPEAKER_15: Alright.
- 3:33:02SPEAKER_15: You find a stack of barrels.
- 3:33:05SPEAKER_36: I I throw one over and try and like rip not throwing it out, I like I tip it over to try and pull the lid off to see if like see if I can get the lid and see what's inside it.
- 3:33:18SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 3:33:19SPEAKER_15: So first thing you notice, they are magically enchanted.
- 3:33:27SPEAKER_15: So ripping it open.
- 3:33:29SPEAKER_15: You still want to do that?
- 3:33:30SPEAKER_15: Because you find because you because of the scholarmaster, you do understand that.
- 3:33:32SPEAKER_36: Okay, I um I don't think that's a great idea.
- 3:33:36SPEAKER_36: I will uh fuck, fuck, fuck.
- 3:33:40SPEAKER_36: That's what they were getting from Guy.
- 3:33:46SPEAKER_36: Okay, so we've got likely some sort of magical expl uh magically protected explosive here.
- 3:33:55SPEAKER_36: Um I uh Is there any way stats or something?
- 3:33:59SPEAKER_36: No, I'm just panicking.
- 3:34:01SPEAKER_36: Is there a way for me to are they just protect magically protected from being opened or from being moved?
- 3:34:09SPEAKER_15: You would have to do a check on that, which will take time.
- 3:34:14SPEAKER_33: I'm gonna do it.
- 3:34:16SPEAKER_28: Okay, are they nondescript?
- 3:34:23SPEAKER_11: The voice in your head asks we're not there.
- 3:34:27SPEAKER_11: Unfortunately.
- 3:34:28SPEAKER_36: She's doing enough.
- 3:34:29SPEAKER_11: Um You can't be there.
- 3:34:30SPEAKER_11: You're not there.
- 3:34:33SPEAKER_36: I'm gonna I'm gonna try this as bad.
- 3:34:35SPEAKER_36: I'm gonna try and take it off the things.
- 3:34:37SPEAKER_36: I'll take the extra round to see if the if see if they can be moved, or if it if like if they're actually stuck in place.
- 3:34:44SPEAKER_15: We will tackle that, okay?
- 3:34:46SPEAKER_15: With that, you can see the first volley of arrows gets let loose from the hillside.
- 3:34:54SPEAKER_15: Now they're too far away because they're stupid, but you watch as all of the arrows land about 20 feet away from the wall, and they're all on fire.
- 3:35:07SPEAKER_15: They're that close.
- 3:35:08SPEAKER_15: No, that's that's how far they shot.
- 3:35:10SPEAKER_06: So I noticed them land about five feet behind me.
- 3:35:12SPEAKER_15: Oh yeah, they've land over they land over your head.
- 3:35:14SPEAKER_15: But they're all over the place, and they're terrible aims.
- 3:35:17SPEAKER_06: I do hold my shield up to the side.
- 3:35:18SPEAKER_15: But you do see like it is now illuminating the wall, and you can see the smoke rising, and you can see now the entire orc army bearing down.
- 3:35:30SPEAKER_15: I'm shooting at the rock.
- 3:35:31SPEAKER_15: You're shooting at the rock?
- 3:35:33SPEAKER_15: Fucking rates, I am.
- 3:35:34SPEAKER_15: Alright.
- 3:35:34SPEAKER_15: So you're gonna knock your arrow?
- 3:35:36SPEAKER_23: I'm 600, yeah.
- 3:35:37SPEAKER_23: Roll the hit.
- 3:35:38SPEAKER_06: You have disadvantage, don't you, with this range?
- 3:35:40SPEAKER_23: No, not because I'm not a new sharpshooter.
- 3:35:42SPEAKER_42: Not with sharpshooter, you're don't you're right.
- 3:35:44SPEAKER_42: I'll be rolling with advantage, thank you.
- 3:35:46SPEAKER_42: I'm gonna use my uh bonus action to do whatever the hell that thing does.
- 3:35:51SPEAKER_42: Yeah, it's just a regular arrow anyway, so.
- 3:35:54SPEAKER_42: Uh so it's plus 12.
- 3:35:58SPEAKER_42: Where do all my d20s go?
- 3:36:03SPEAKER_42: Might as well do a plus ten damage.
- 3:36:08SPEAKER_42: Uh so actually it's not that great.
- 3:36:10SPEAKER_42: 11 and 13, 24 to hit.
- 3:36:12SPEAKER_15: Alright.
- 3:36:14SPEAKER_15: You watch as rolled without hesitation, rises his bow, takes two seconds to aim, and lets loose an arrow, and we'll find out if he hits in the next game.
- 3:36:29SPEAKER_15: And that'll end it for here tonight, guys.
- 3:36:32SPEAKER_15: Okay.
- 3:36:35SPEAKER_42: I think we didn't think of the barrels.
- 3:36:36SPEAKER_42: I didn't think they were that close either.
- 3:36:38SPEAKER_42: Daddy Drax thought of the barrels.
