Transcript
- 0:32SPEAKER_21: So the last time we were all together was actually, was it a month ago?
- 0:36SPEAKER_21: A month and a week?
- 0:37SPEAKER_21: Five weeks ago.
- 0:39SPEAKER_21: Wow.
- 0:40SPEAKER_21: Last time we were all together, some big things happened in Africa with our group.
- 0:45SPEAKER_21: You guys were able to uh fix the problem with the dragon, and then you had there's a big party in Winter Forge afterwards celebrating that.
- 0:52SPEAKER_21: It was a big kind of hull of a loop.
- 0:55SPEAKER_21: And you know, there was a new uh new queen, a new ruler took over.
- 1:00SPEAKER_21: And you guys were a little wary because there'd been a murder of a royal member of the family previously in previous episodes.
- 1:07SPEAKER_21: And so you were doing what you could to see if you could maybe pro prevent any of that or see what was going on, but much to your chagrin, there was still a murder while you were in Winter Forge of the Warmaster.
- 1:24SPEAKER_21: You guys decided that it was time to move on.
- 1:27SPEAKER_21: Winterforge had played its part in your story, and you were moving forward to see if we could figure out the problem in Silvery Moon.
- 1:36SPEAKER_21: You were spoken to uh Ulius, and you were able to learn a little bit of information about what's going on down there, including the fact that there is a rebellion that is being staged outside of the Silvery Moon's influence.
- 1:49SPEAKER_21: You walk through the teleportation circle, get back to the Silvery Moon area, which is in the south of the area.
- 1:57SPEAKER_21: And you were able to meet up with the moon wardens who were standing basically right there because you bamped into the church where they've set up their base camp.
- 2:07SPEAKER_21: You were introduced to the general of the moon wardens, who we know as Arendol Moonshadow, and he introduced himself as Delphine's uncle.
- 2:21SPEAKER_21: And that is where we left off.
- 2:23SPEAKER_21: So what we will do is we will pick up right from there.
- 2:30SPEAKER_09: So we're still in the war tent?
- 2:33SPEAKER_21: You're still in the war tent, absolutely, yes.
- 2:36SPEAKER_21: In the war tent, and ready to do whatever you want to do.
- 2:41SPEAKER_21: And they're all kind of standing around.
- 2:43SPEAKER_21: There's a uh a war table that kind of shows a map of Silvery Moon, and what you can see on top of there, somebody has crafted what looks like uh a magic dome, and that dome is or not a magic dome, but a dome, and that dome is sitting over top, yeah, just like that, is sitting over top of Silvery Moon, exactly where the magical barrier exists, so that you can clearly see it does encompass the majority of the city, but there are small little back alleys and parts of the wall that are not included in this magical dome.
- 3:22SPEAKER_23: And it looks similar to the one that was uh in the cave?
- 3:25SPEAKER_21: Well, the one that's on the table is just a a model.
- 3:29SPEAKER_21: Oh, sorry.
- 3:29unknown: Okay.
- 3:30SPEAKER_21: But the uh you can see the shimmer.
- 3:32SPEAKER_21: Yes.
- 3:33SPEAKER_21: And I believe we did describe it that you can see the shimmer.
- 3:36SPEAKER_09: Yeah, when we were here before to get drags, I recognized it as the same.
- 3:40SPEAKER_09: It was the same, yeah.
- 3:41SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 3:41SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 3:42SPEAKER_19: Yeah.
- 3:42SPEAKER_09: Or rather, we saw it here first, and then when we were in the mines, that's when I recognized that it was the same as what was at silvering in.
- 3:50SPEAKER_23: Yeah, there you go.
- 3:51SPEAKER_23: Which means most of you guys will be fairly handicapped when we're in there.
- 3:55SPEAKER_23: Yeah.
- 3:55SPEAKER_23: Unless we can bring it down or until the whole plan.
- 4:01SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 4:01SPEAKER_09: Got it.
- 4:03SPEAKER_09: Because I think that my uncle had previously said that there is a teleportation circle that is secure outside of the barrier, and they need someone to go in and basically get rid of the barrier so all the magic comes back and a defense can be mounted.
- 4:17SPEAKER_10: Got it, yeah.
- 4:21SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 4:22SPEAKER_23: This is such a busy camp.
- 4:23SPEAKER_10: Yeah, if you're in your work on it.
- 4:25SPEAKER_10: We're just getting a benefit of sound effect.
- 4:28SPEAKER_21: I'm not using your hearing horses, which is what happens.
- 4:30SPEAKER_21: This is what happens when your DD buys a subscription to a sound service.
- 4:34SPEAKER_10: Hey.
- 4:36SPEAKER_10: We get fun.
- 4:39SPEAKER_21: Would it be really great if we had somebody that gave it to us for free?
- 4:43SPEAKER_22: I'm uh I'm looking to Delphine in this case because this is her uncle, apparently running this show in this camp.
- 4:52SPEAKER_22: So, yeah.
- 4:55SPEAKER_09: Delphine's pretty much just like eyeballing the person who's saying she's her he's her uncle, trying to match up features that she vaguely, vaguely remembers, mostly from portraits, because she's doesn't very, very young.
- 5:14SPEAKER_09: Or she would have last seen him.
- 5:17SPEAKER_10: He's supposed to be dead.
- 5:24SPEAKER_21: You can see standing around.
- 5:27SPEAKER_21: There are a few other uh a few other elves uh in total.
- 5:32SPEAKER_21: There's one, two, three, four.
- 5:38SPEAKER_21: There's four other ones that are standing with uh the general, so five in total make up the executive team of the moon wardens.
- 5:46SPEAKER_21: I don't see the family resemblance, by the way.
- 5:48SPEAKER_09: Looking like an elf right now, BT Dubb.
- 5:52SPEAKER_09: Did you stare?
- 5:53SPEAKER_09: Did you just say that out loud?
- 5:56SPEAKER_22: Delphium's gonna shoot some fucking daggers.
- 5:59SPEAKER_22: I snort at that comment.
- 6:01SPEAKER_22: Honestly, I did.
- 6:02SPEAKER_22: And shake my head.
- 6:04SPEAKER_22: Just shake my head.
- 6:07SPEAKER_09: I would just really like it if you could actually shoot daggers.
- 6:10SPEAKER_09: If one of your spells shot daggers out of your eyes.
- 6:13SPEAKER_09: I mean, I'm sure I could flavor a spell.
- 6:15SPEAKER_09: I would want us to now.
- 6:18SPEAKER_09: Anyway, what is our next move?
- 6:22SPEAKER_09: Like, are we?
- 6:25SPEAKER_23: Well, last time to take down that gate or whatever, didn't we like solve a big puzzle?
- 6:30SPEAKER_23: How is this one gonna work?
- 6:31SPEAKER_09: The gyroscope?
- 6:32SPEAKER_23: Yeah, we have no idea how this one works, do we?
- 6:35SPEAKER_22: It must be based off the original one.
- 6:38unknown: What?
- 6:38SPEAKER_23: So we're gonna find random ruins and make it stop?
- 6:42SPEAKER_22: Perhaps the same combination.
- 6:44SPEAKER_07: Maybe a bunch of city.
- 6:47SPEAKER_07: Oh my luggage.
- 6:48SPEAKER_07: All my luggage.
- 6:51SPEAKER_22: It was designed on the exact same contraption.
- 7:02SPEAKER_22: It's a good code, yeah.
- 7:13SPEAKER_21: He said call in the desert.
- 7:17SPEAKER_21: Um, well, I mean, you do have uh Moon Warden standing right there.
- 7:21SPEAKER_21: You can ask any kind of questions you like or questions she wants to ask him.
- 7:25SPEAKER_08: She wants to ask him in private.
- 7:28SPEAKER_08: We don't, we don't, you I can't remember.
- 7:30SPEAKER_08: Did you you would be allowed?
- 7:33SPEAKER_08: Or you did.
- 7:34SPEAKER_09: No, anything.
- 7:34SPEAKER_09: Okay, so we have no idea.
- 7:36SPEAKER_09: This is just she has a she has a very much look of shock, surprise.
- 7:42SPEAKER_07: I'd be surprised if my uncle showed up too.
- 7:44SPEAKER_07: So I take nothing of it.
- 7:50SPEAKER_22: Is this a normal look?
- 7:51SPEAKER_22: I don't know.
- 7:51SPEAKER_22: I mean, I don't know if I've ever seen Delphine looking too shocked.
- 7:54SPEAKER_22: Disappointed?
- 7:56SPEAKER_22: Yes.
- 7:56SPEAKER_22: Disappointed a lot.
- 7:57SPEAKER_22: Yes.
- 7:59SPEAKER_22: But shocked?
- 8:00SPEAKER_22: That's disappointed.
- 8:01SPEAKER_22: I don't know if she's in her in her RDF.
- 8:05SPEAKER_22: In her much plus years, she doesn't seem to be as shocked by your crazy ongoings as we do.
- 8:09SPEAKER_22: That puts Ainara a little on alert and is, I think.
- 8:12SPEAKER_22: I stand a little more defensively in front of uh Mo Mo W.
- 8:16SPEAKER_21: You have been put into um kind of the care of the Moon Wardens in terms of being aided and helped in your mission.
- 8:28SPEAKER_21: So they have the expertise, they probably have the knowledge of what's going on, and they kind of are there for you to utilize how you see fit to get your tasks done.
- 8:39SPEAKER_21: What do you in charge or it's kind of like uh they're it's kind of like they're they're the ones leading the assaults, they're the ones that are already in siege with Silvery Moon or trying to figure out how to get in and have the they're like the French resistance, right?
- 8:55SPEAKER_21: They're not actually breaking it down, but they have the avenues to get the people that can make the difference into the city.
- 9:02unknown: Okay.
- 9:03SPEAKER_21: We decided to go in.
- 9:07SPEAKER_02: Not necessarily, but we're in the wartime.
- 9:12SPEAKER_23: Yeah, well, exactly.
- 9:13SPEAKER_09: So how many um houses got out?
- 9:18SPEAKER_21: Uh and this is you're saying this to Arendel.
- 9:21SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 9:21SPEAKER_21: Uh he just kind of he looks at you and realizes that this is not going to be the time for the conversation, and he just resigns to it and he goes, As far as we know, there's not too many houses that have made it out alive.
- 9:39SPEAKER_21: What you see here in the groves where we have our camps is what's made it out.
- 9:46SPEAKER_21: And we weren't in Silvery Moon when we followed.
- 9:51SPEAKER_09: Oh, I know you've not been in Silvery Moon.
- 9:55SPEAKER_21: I'm sorry to say that if there are any houses left, they are either captured or being held prisoner in their own homes.
- 10:04SPEAKER_13: Do you know where my mother and father would be held?
- 10:08SPEAKER_21: Yes, I do.
- 10:09SPEAKER_21: There is speculation that the noble houses or the higher houses in Silvery Moon are being held captive in one singular location.
- 10:20SPEAKER_21: We don't yet know what that location is, but it is believed that they are all being held together as a form of ransom.
- 10:28SPEAKER_23: And what would be more heavily guarded, that area, or where the actual source of this magic is coming from?
- 10:35SPEAKER_21: That we don't know.
- 10:36SPEAKER_21: But what we do know about the magic is that it is four separate locations that are funneling or sending the signal up to keep the bubble above silver and moon, the anti-magic field.
- 10:50SPEAKER_09: That's how they would make it large enough.
- 10:53SPEAKER_21: Yes.
- 10:54SPEAKER_05: You said as a form of ransom, are they asking for something in particular?
- 10:59SPEAKER_21: No, that was only our speculation.
- 11:01SPEAKER_21: We don't actually know what where they all are being hailed and why.
- 11:05SPEAKER_21: We just know that we have our assumptions that they are all together.
- 11:08SPEAKER_21: And that's yet to be proven.
- 11:10SPEAKER_21: We've only made a few ventures into the city and we have not had much success.
- 11:14SPEAKER_21: So what do you think?
- 11:15SPEAKER_21: You assume they haven't built the sack to sack the city?
- 11:19SPEAKER_21: We know that Silvery Moon has fallen.
- 11:22SPEAKER_21: We know that there is an anti-magic field that has four different pillar locations that are that are channeling energy into the field.
- 11:29SPEAKER_21: We know that the houses are not dead because bodies have not been there's no burning bodies and no bodies have been sent out of Silvery Moon.
- 11:39SPEAKER_21: So they must still be alive, or they're just dead in the streets, which we haven't seen them on our few trips in.
- 11:46SPEAKER_21: We know that you have taken trips in the room.
- 11:48SPEAKER_21: Yeah, a few.
- 11:49SPEAKER_21: Well, we've seen that there are the orcs are roaming the city basically lawless.
- 11:55SPEAKER_21: People are scared, they're barricading themselves inside of their homes.
- 11:59SPEAKER_21: We know that the king and the queen are alive, but we don't know where they're being held either.
- 12:03SPEAKER_21: But there is a large source of magic coming from underneath the palace.
- 12:08SPEAKER_21: Is there potentially a thieves guild still active or any sewer systems that are it's possible, yes, it's possible.
- 12:16SPEAKER_21: We do know that the sewer systems are being guarded.
- 12:19SPEAKER_21: You can probably get in, but it would be a battle.
- 12:22SPEAKER_21: The best way that we know of to get in is the one little teleportation circle that we've managed to secure just outside the bubble, inside the wall.
- 12:31SPEAKER_09: Before we came here back in Winter Forge, Iulius did come to me and he thought at least the king and queen were being held at Cinderwell Hall.
- 12:40SPEAKER_21: Is that what he assumes?
- 12:42SPEAKER_21: That could be possible then.
- 12:43SPEAKER_21: That's the palace.
- 12:44SPEAKER_21: That's the main hall of Silvery Moon, as you know.
- 12:47SPEAKER_21: And we do believe that there is something there.
- 12:50SPEAKER_21: There is a massive source of magic power coming from below that building.
- 12:56SPEAKER_09: You can see another thing that we've learned recently.
- 13:02SPEAKER_09: The dragon in Winterforge, Warthix, said that there is a convergence of power under Silver Moon.
- 13:10SPEAKER_09: Do you know the name Ashwil?
- 13:13SPEAKER_21: How do you know that name?
- 13:15SPEAKER_21: That name is known well within the circle of these men and women.
- 13:18SPEAKER_21: And you watch as you say that word, and all of those elves, those five elves, they all kind of turn and look at each other and raise an eyebrow, like, the fuck did she know that name?
- 13:26SPEAKER_09: We've been super best friends.
- 13:29SPEAKER_09: We've met her for a long time.
- 13:33SPEAKER_09: We've been somewhat trying to track this creature.
- 13:37SPEAKER_09: Julius set us on this task over a month ago.
- 13:41SPEAKER_09: He's been kidnapping children marked under the blood moon and working with the wretched Don.
- 13:48SPEAKER_21: What we know of Ashwill is that he is a being of utmost power, able to rip tears, scars into the veil that separates the realms.
- 14:02SPEAKER_21: I think that you and I have a lot that we need to talk about, and that might help you answer some questions about who I am and why I know about him.
- 14:13SPEAKER_04: I agree.
- 14:16SPEAKER_21: But that's all we know about Silvery Moon for now.
- 14:20SPEAKER_21: It will probably take a few more ventured trips in, which we can send more scouts in to get specific information.
- 14:27SPEAKER_21: If that's what we're looking for, we have that ability.
- 14:29SPEAKER_21: It just takes time.
- 14:31SPEAKER_05: You said you know that there's four pillars.
- 14:33SPEAKER_21: Yes.
- 14:34SPEAKER_05: Do you know the exact location?
- 14:36SPEAKER_21: Yes, I can mark them on the map.
- 14:38unknown: Okay.
- 14:38SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 14:40SPEAKER_07: Is this like if we weaken or take down one, it will weaken the others?
- 14:45SPEAKER_21: That we don't know.
- 14:46SPEAKER_21: They are magical in, you know, in and they are large, tall, like stone pillars, not easily pushed over.
- 14:55SPEAKER_21: And as he says that, there's a grumble from behind him of this like big, tall buff, and he's got like uh in his mouth, he's chewing on what looks to be like a a trigger.
- 15:06SPEAKER_21: He's just kind of like coming in, he's like, I could blow those up easily.
- 15:12SPEAKER_21: No problem.
- 15:14SPEAKER_09: I'm willing to try.
- 15:19SPEAKER_09: You have a penchant for blowing things up.
- 15:22SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 15:23SPEAKER_21: So this guy's just a little bit shorter than Drunken.
- 15:26SPEAKER_21: So he's towering over you, looking kind of doesn't you?
- 15:29SPEAKER_08: Regardless, I like this man.
- 15:31SPEAKER_21: He's tall, he's shorter than you.
- 15:32SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 15:34SPEAKER_22: I have a knack for getting into places and up and above and on places.
- 15:40SPEAKER_22: If we need to, if we need to do this.
- 15:43SPEAKER_22: I'm great at blowing stuff up.
- 15:45SPEAKER_22: I just want to go with this guy.
- 15:46SPEAKER_22: What did you just say?
- 15:47SPEAKER_22: I said I have a way of getting up on top of uh up up on buildings and into places unseen if we need to place stuff.
- 15:52SPEAKER_09: Okay, last time we you said that they haven't been able to approach the city unseen.
- 15:59SPEAKER_21: It's very difficult.
- 16:00SPEAKER_21: It's difficult for us to get in if we approach the walls.
- 16:04SPEAKER_21: If we use the teleportation circle, we can get the people that need to go in, but we can't get a full army.
- 16:10SPEAKER_21: Strike force.
- 16:11SPEAKER_21: Yes, we can't get a full army in there.
- 16:13SPEAKER_21: We have to find a way to topple the walls from inside.
- 16:17SPEAKER_21: Bring the walls down so that we can get the army in.
- 16:21SPEAKER_23: So if we go in, we're going in essentially as a scouting mission to figure out what's going on.
- 16:24SPEAKER_23: Or strike force.
- 16:26SPEAKER_06: That's what we've been this whole time.
- 16:27SPEAKER_23: Understandably, but are we going in on a one-go and staying, or are we coming and going repeatedly?
- 16:33SPEAKER_21: That's up to you.
- 16:35SPEAKER_21: I can send you and bring you back.
- 16:37SPEAKER_21: Once Delphine learns the ability of this teleportation circle or the combination, the sigil to it, she can travel you back and forth at will.
- 16:46SPEAKER_21: We don't need to be bringing you.
- 16:47SPEAKER_21: Assuming they don't find it.
- 16:48SPEAKER_21: Assuming they don't find it.
- 16:49SPEAKER_21: And it's only a matter of time until they find it.
- 16:53SPEAKER_09: My father said that his messages were being tracked before I lost contact.
- 16:59SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 16:59SPEAKER_21: There's one more thing that I think you should know about, and I have been neglecting to talk about it.
- 17:06SPEAKER_21: But there is.
- 17:08SPEAKER_23: We're getting a little warm.
- 17:09SPEAKER_23: I think I'm gonna take off all these extra fur layers.
- 17:12SPEAKER_23: It's a little toasty in this weather.
- 17:14SPEAKER_21: Oh, yes, because we thought we were going north.
- 17:17SPEAKER_22: You are making a very good point that we're all considering ice coats.
- 17:23SPEAKER_10: We all start stripping our layers.
- 17:26SPEAKER_10: We ended up at 30 degrees here, probably.
- 17:32SPEAKER_21: Um he does he does say that there is there's one more thing that I've neglected to talk about because it is very hard to discuss.
- 17:39SPEAKER_21: But there's a there's a relic we are seeing inside these walls, and I've never seen it before.
- 17:46SPEAKER_21: I've heard of it.
- 17:47SPEAKER_21: We're calling it the Dominion Spike.
- 17:50SPEAKER_21: And you can see there are a few elves walking around, and they have these large, looks like purple, black, glowing crystals that are shoved in the back of their heads, and it seems to be controlling them.
- 18:06SPEAKER_21: They are their eyes are glowing purple, and that's the way that we can just share the distinction.
- 18:12SPEAKER_21: We haven't interacted with them yet, but we have seen them walking around.
- 18:16SPEAKER_21: I just want you to be aware that if there are people in there that you know, they might not be your friends.
- 18:21SPEAKER_21: Look for these signs.
- 18:23SPEAKER_09: I don't think he's saying they're in key.
- 18:24SPEAKER_21: They're inside somewhere.
- 18:26SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
- 18:27SPEAKER_07: So we need to know if these people are saveable or if they need to be killed.
- 18:31SPEAKER_07: So we need to like, you know, either lift their hair, see the neck essentially.
- 18:35SPEAKER_09: Well, I just said their eyes allow purple.
- 18:37SPEAKER_22: Oh, well that helps.
- 18:38SPEAKER_22: We haven't figured out what the thing on the back of their neck is, if it's punctured through them.
- 18:43SPEAKER_22: Is it in their nervous system or is it puncturing through the so we capture one, pull out the sharks and see if they survive?
- 18:50SPEAKER_22: Yes.
- 18:50unknown: Okay.
- 18:50SPEAKER_22: Well, we can I I'm good at catching people, assuming that doesn't alert others, but yes.
- 18:57SPEAKER_21: There are there's a few things that we can identify that we need to accomplish.
- 19:02SPEAKER_21: One, we need to evacuate as many people from the city as we can through the teleportation circle, if we can.
- 19:08SPEAKER_21: The more people we can get to safety, the larger our numbers grow out here.
- 19:11SPEAKER_21: We need to get those pillars down.
- 19:13SPEAKER_21: We need to find out where their magic is coming from, what's causing them to work in unison and how we can bring them down at the same time.
- 19:23SPEAKER_21: Because we bring one down, we alert the entire city.
- 19:27SPEAKER_09: It's go time, basically.
- 19:28SPEAKER_09: Bring one down.
- 19:29SPEAKER_21: Yeah, the second thing, or the third thing, is we need to we need to identify the location of the nobility houses.
- 19:36SPEAKER_21: We need to know where they are, we need their resources.
- 19:39SPEAKER_21: If we can get them and get them freed, or at least find ways for us to communicate with them, then that will help our chances significantly.
- 19:49SPEAKER_21: And the fourth thing that we need is we have to find the king and queen.
- 19:53SPEAKER_21: We need to find out where they are, and we need to find out how we can get them freed.
- 19:59SPEAKER_21: Those are the four major things that we need to accomplish here.
- 20:02SPEAKER_09: These pillars, have you seen any runes or anything about them, or you just know of them?
- 20:08SPEAKER_21: We haven't been able to approach them yet.
- 20:11SPEAKER_21: The only the scouts we've been sending in are just doing preliminary, like around the perimeter looks, trying to see what they can find, trying not to get killed.
- 20:21SPEAKER_21: We've lost one or two already, but we try not to lose anything.
- 20:25SPEAKER_09: Back at Winter Forge, one of the things we were dealing with for their dragon problem is they had a gyroscope, a device that was creating a map magical suppression barrier like this one.
- 20:40SPEAKER_09: And we know we did the puzzle and we know the runes for that device.
- 20:46SPEAKER_09: And we think possibly, I don't know for sure, but maybe it's been copied and brought here, something like it, or at least something similar enough that we can figure it out much more easily.
- 20:58SPEAKER_21: Okay.
- 20:59SPEAKER_21: Well, that's that brings hope.
- 21:02SPEAKER_21: Because we haven't had eyes on it yet.
- 21:05SPEAKER_21: So for the sooner we get eyes, the more information I can give to you.
- 21:09SPEAKER_21: I have a scout team standing by.
- 21:11SPEAKER_21: If you have requests for us to do, we can send them.
- 21:14SPEAKER_21: They'll be back by the next morning.
- 21:17SPEAKER_05: Not to sound callous, but why are the king and queen more important than everyone else?
- 21:23SPEAKER_05: They'll give hope to everyone else.
- 21:26SPEAKER_05: But they're two people.
- 21:28SPEAKER_09: There are rulers, they're also heroes from a previous age.
- 21:35SPEAKER_07: They can bolster than the other people.
- 21:39SPEAKER_07: I'm saying that if it was grandfather versus all of the rest of the family, we would pick all of the rest of the family.
- 21:50SPEAKER_22: If having your grandfather could make your entire family surrender themselves to a horrible fate, I think that's Delphine's issue with.
- 22:00SPEAKER_22: The people held up here in the city won't fight back if they have the king and queen and threaten to kill them.
- 22:08SPEAKER_22: But without that threat, numbers become possible again.
- 22:13SPEAKER_21: One of the things that you need to understand about elven culture is that we take our royalty very seriously.
- 22:21SPEAKER_21: They are important to us.
- 22:22SPEAKER_21: They are a legacy.
- 22:23SPEAKER_21: They have helped us to build and shape our culture the way that it is.
- 22:27SPEAKER_21: They help to shape the land.
- 22:28SPEAKER_21: They helped to shape the stories and the songs that we sing.
- 22:31SPEAKER_21: They are as important to us as the history of us.
- 22:35SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 22:35SPEAKER_09: Our traditions are crafted over millennia.
- 22:38SPEAKER_09: We don't just give them up.
- 22:41SPEAKER_07: I'll accept that if that's if that's what is more meaningful to your people than this.
- 22:49SPEAKER_07: I was just wanting to know.
- 22:51SPEAKER_21: You would be hard-pressed to get civilians out of the city at the cost of the king and queen.
- 22:58SPEAKER_21: They would not want to go.
- 23:00SPEAKER_21: They would rather fight to free them.
- 23:05SPEAKER_21: Not to say that you can't attempt to.
- 23:07SPEAKER_21: You do want to try and increase our numbers.
- 23:09SPEAKER_22: You've obviously tried approaching the city invisibly.
- 23:12SPEAKER_21: Myself, no, I have not.
- 23:14SPEAKER_21: Scouts?
- 23:15SPEAKER_21: Scouts, yes.
- 23:16SPEAKER_23: They have that.
- 23:17SPEAKER_23: That's what I was going to ask is does magic fail as soon as we enter it?
- 23:21SPEAKER_23: Or can you cast out here?
- 23:23SPEAKER_09: From what we were doing before in the nine, any magical enchantment from outside still worked inside.
- 23:30SPEAKER_09: But what I'm discovering is, well, the magical teleportation circles probably won't work inside.
- 23:38SPEAKER_09: That's why we have a secure one that's outside the barrier.
- 23:41SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 23:42SPEAKER_09: Also, this barrier might be a little different in that my sendings aren't going through.
- 23:49SPEAKER_22: True.
- 23:52SPEAKER_22: Perhaps that if you work here trying, if you had if you tried to send the sending to you with the side of barriers.
- 24:07SPEAKER_22: Well, are we going?
- 24:08SPEAKER_22: Well, no.
- 24:09SPEAKER_22: Exact second.
- 24:10SPEAKER_22: No.
- 24:14SPEAKER_22: I mean, my brother.
- 24:19SPEAKER_22: I'm just we're not doing anything here.
- 24:21SPEAKER_22: You know, I'd like to I'd like to get familiar with the camp uh and what we're exactly what we're doing and plan a little bit more and uh settle before we dive straight headlong into this.
- 24:34SPEAKER_23: I guess my thought was we're not gonna get more information about what's happening in there.
- 24:38SPEAKER_23: I'm sure Delphine wants to.
- 24:40SPEAKER_09: I have information I need to get.
- 24:42SPEAKER_23: Well, there you go.
- 24:42SPEAKER_23: That's good reason though.
- 24:44SPEAKER_09: Go find a quartermaster.
- 24:47SPEAKER_09: Also, I have extra health potions for bag holder.
- 24:50SPEAKER_05: Do you want to have a moment with your uncle?
- 24:54SPEAKER_05: Yes.
- 24:56SPEAKER_22: Shall we give you some privacy?
- 24:59SPEAKER_22: Where are we staying?
- 25:01SPEAKER_22: Let's put our bags down.
- 25:02SPEAKER_21: He uh don't stop.
- 25:04SPEAKER_21: Yeah, he basically turns to his second in command, uh, a female elf, and just says, Do you mind showing them to where they can unburden themselves and rest if need be?
- 25:17SPEAKER_21: And she just kind of clicks her heels together, nods sharply, and turns to you and says, What about you then?
- 25:27SPEAKER_07: I follow.
- 25:31SPEAKER_05: And I give Delphine a thumbs up.
- 25:37SPEAKER_05: Like you can do it.
- 25:40SPEAKER_09: I thought that was a thumbs up.
- 25:41SPEAKER_09: Your uncle's hot.
- 25:43SPEAKER_09: Well, uh, apparently your uncle is really stinking hot.
- 25:47SPEAKER_09: Apparently he's stinking hot.
- 25:48SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 25:49SPEAKER_22: You felt for that ceremony trick before.
- 25:53SPEAKER_09: Putting the wrong emphasis on the syllable.
- 25:55SPEAKER_22: I like the pheromone.
- 26:00SPEAKER_09: Your uncle's hotter than that's weird.
- 26:07SPEAKER_21: I don't play characters that aren't odds.
- 26:12SPEAKER_21: Okay.
- 26:13SPEAKER_21: Um, cool.
- 26:13SPEAKER_21: Yeah, so they show you kind of they wind you through the map or or through the campsite, and uh, you do see a couple other tents.
- 26:21SPEAKER_21: There's like uh there's a quartermaster's tent, there's uh what looks to be like an Elven like blacksmith that they've kind of tried to stand up, whereas it's like it's not as good as it would be if it was inside Silvery Moon, but it's kind of makeshift for the purposes.
- 26:36SPEAKER_21: Yeah, you've got uh um yeah, uh your market tent, a mess hall, you've got a healer's tent, stables, the training yard, all these things you walk by, you get to see a lot of a lavatory for Drax and his upset coming.
- 26:52SPEAKER_21: Oh yeah.
- 26:53SPEAKER_21: Yeah, they show him right away.
- 26:54SPEAKER_09: Fancy as outhouse that's ever be.
- 26:57SPEAKER_21: While you guys are having this conversation, Drax is just standing behind you, and you just hear his stomach.
- 27:04SPEAKER_08: It's a percolated really, really loud percolate.
- 27:06SPEAKER_08: Brother, I'm not gonna make it.
- 27:07SPEAKER_09: You guys need to go take care of Drax.
- 27:09SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 27:10SPEAKER_22: And tell him, run, run, give us your echo.
- 27:14SPEAKER_22: That's his problem.
- 27:17SPEAKER_09: That's the run.
- 27:18SPEAKER_21: I told you not to lick the wall in the dungeon.
- 27:20SPEAKER_21: And he high knee runs.
- 27:24SPEAKER_08: Are you sure he doesn't just like twinkle toe it because he's holding his cheeks together?
- 27:30SPEAKER_22: Honestly, I don't think another person.
- 27:31SPEAKER_22: It wouldn't be he'd start high toe running, he'd put his echo out there, so he'd teleport and change places with the echo as the echoes opening the door, and then he'd do it again.
- 27:40SPEAKER_22: He would leapfrog himself to the bathroom toilet to accelerate his movement there.
- 27:46SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 27:46SPEAKER_22: Just like you would ambush some more running away from it would be exactly like that.
- 27:51SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 27:52SPEAKER_21: Uh I'm gonna drop a map into the chat, and that will be the map of the camp.
- 28:01SPEAKER_21: No, of the camp.
- 28:02SPEAKER_21: Uh the map of Silver Moon will come.
- 28:05SPEAKER_21: It will come.
- 28:05SPEAKER_21: I have it as well.
- 28:07SPEAKER_09: Yeah, flashed it to me very briefly.
- 28:09SPEAKER_21: It certainly did.
- 28:10SPEAKER_21: And then I showed you the map.
- 28:13SPEAKER_21: So they all leave.
- 28:14SPEAKER_21: Um, and you watch as Arundel kind of like turns to the other three that are in there with him, and they all kind of nod to each other, and he just goes, and he sends them away, and they they nod to you, and they all exit the tent, and now you're just standing there with just your uncle.
- 28:34SPEAKER_21: Can I be a fly on the wolf?
- 28:36SPEAKER_04: No.
- 28:38SPEAKER_21: I mean, you can if you want to be probably more your super stealthiness in your plate mail.
- 28:45SPEAKER_22: Yeah, super stealthiness.
- 28:46SPEAKER_22: If only you could wild.
- 28:49SPEAKER_22: Oh, that'd be the perfect way to get around that armor being having a wild shape.
- 28:53SPEAKER_22: One level of Druid just happens, you could like always be a wolf.
- 28:55SPEAKER_22: Dr.
- 28:56SPEAKER_09: Metal.
- 28:57unknown: Yeah, you're right.
- 28:57unknown: Damn it.
- 28:59SPEAKER_21: We thought of everything, didn't we?
- 29:01SPEAKER_09: Sorry, are we going to the barracks?
- 29:02SPEAKER_09: Did you say?
- 29:03SPEAKER_02: No, we're going to work tent.
- 29:05SPEAKER_21: We're going your yeah, you guys have exited and started exiting.
- 29:08SPEAKER_22: She's talking with her uncle.
- 29:10SPEAKER_21: Well, uh, yeah.
- 29:11SPEAKER_21: As soon as you guys find your way in, figure out where you're going, yeah.
- 29:15SPEAKER_22: Well, I guess the barracks tent would make sense first, right?
- 29:18SPEAKER_22: Is that where she's showing us to?
- 29:19SPEAKER_22: Because we have a guide.
- 29:24SPEAKER_22: I think we would head to the barracks tents first, settle ourselves, and then probably make our way to different tents where we might want to see what they have.
- 29:34SPEAKER_05: Did we enter um from the north end of the map that you have just sent us of the camp?
- 29:42SPEAKER_21: Probably maybe did.
- 29:43unknown: Okay.
- 29:44SPEAKER_21: Because you want to go to the tree and the case.
- 29:47SPEAKER_22: Yes, I do! How much gold do we all have now?
- 29:53SPEAKER_02: I don't want to.
- 29:54SPEAKER_02: It's like I know it, yeah.
- 29:56SPEAKER_09: Whatever's in the group, plus we split up 500 gold.
- 29:58SPEAKER_21: Who's 500 gold?
- 29:59SPEAKER_09: From the dragon.
- 30:01SPEAKER_21: So as you're standing there, kind of quiet, awkward, you've kind of taken him in.
- 30:09SPEAKER_21: He's a bit of an older-looking elf now.
- 30:12SPEAKER_21: He's your father's older brother.
- 30:15SPEAKER_21: He's kind of looking back at you, studying you a little bit.
- 30:23SPEAKER_21: His uh armor, silver armor, used to shimmer, is now coated in dust and a little bit of dirt from travel.
- 30:34SPEAKER_21: Although it bores scars from some pretty interesting-looking weapons that don't really pop into your memory as being, oh, that's from this or that's from this right.
- 30:46SPEAKER_21: His cloak is faded with age, but yet he still carries himself with effortless confidence of a man who's commanded many for a long time.
- 30:56SPEAKER_21: His eyes, however, betray the weight of a lifetime carrying burdens that nobody could understand.
- 31:07SPEAKER_21: And he kind of turns away from you and starts to walk over to where the wine is sitting.
- 31:17SPEAKER_21: And he looks back over his shoulder and he says, Before we talk, could I get you anything to drink?
- 31:27SPEAKER_09: I think I need it.
- 31:30SPEAKER_21: I think I do too.
- 31:33SPEAKER_21: And he goes and he pours two little goblets of wine, he brings one over to you, and he he hands it to you.
- 31:39SPEAKER_21: And as he hands it to you, he says, You know, Delphine, you don't have to hide yourself with me.
- 31:47SPEAKER_21: I understand why, but you don't have to.
- 31:52SPEAKER_09: Is it safe here?
- 31:54SPEAKER_09: No one's gonna come walking in.
- 31:57SPEAKER_21: You are my kin.
- 32:00SPEAKER_21: You are safe here.
- 32:02SPEAKER_21: And you have always been safe with me.
- 32:05SPEAKER_21: And yet, if you want to be who you are, you are safe.
- 32:09SPEAKER_21: But if you choose to continue to look this way, I won't say another word about it.
- 32:17SPEAKER_09: She'll deactivate the hat of disguise and be herself.
- 32:22SPEAKER_21: Takes a sip and he kinda relaxes and smiles at you a little bit and goes, There you are.
- 32:32SPEAKER_21: Before I tell you why I've come, there is something I think that must be said first.
- 32:41SPEAKER_21: I know you don't know really, me or remember me, but that's not your fault.
- 32:48SPEAKER_21: It's also not your parents' fault.
- 32:50SPEAKER_21: They were forced to go along with the lie that I had passed away.
- 32:56SPEAKER_09: So Papa knows.
- 33:00SPEAKER_21: Your father knows.
- 33:02SPEAKER_21: And your mother knows.
- 33:06SPEAKER_21: Your parents made certain that your memory of me faded properly over time.
- 33:12SPEAKER_21: In fact, I haven't seen you since you were just crawling.
- 33:18SPEAKER_21: But I am your father's brother.
- 33:22SPEAKER_09: How do I know that?
- 33:23SPEAKER_09: How do I know you are who you say you are?
- 33:26SPEAKER_21: Well, I can see that you definitely have questions in your eyes.
- 33:31SPEAKER_21: The disbelief and the anger.
- 33:33SPEAKER_21: And if our places were reversed, I'd I'd feel the same way.
- 33:37SPEAKER_21: You're all wondering why no one ever spoke my name.
- 33:41SPEAKER_21: Why no portrait of me hangs in the house of Alandra?
- 33:45SPEAKER_21: Why you grew to adulthood believing that your father's brother had passed away.
- 33:49SPEAKER_09: Not just me, it would have it was recorded.
- 33:52SPEAKER_09: There's ceremonies.
- 33:55SPEAKER_21: The answer is your parents didn't hide me because they wanted to forget me.
- 34:00SPEAKER_21: They hid me because I begged them to.
- 34:02SPEAKER_21: Before I departed, I swore an oath before the High Council of Silvery Moon.
- 34:08SPEAKER_21: An oath so sacred that my very existence was wiped from the history.
- 34:14SPEAKER_21: My duty, my destination, even the knowledge that I still lived could not become known.
- 34:19SPEAKER_21: And those who loved me were ordered to speak of me only as though if I had died years before.
- 34:25SPEAKER_21: And that was what was deemed appropriate by the council.
- 34:29SPEAKER_21: Your father hated this.
- 34:31SPEAKER_21: It angered him to his very core.
- 34:34SPEAKER_21: And he argued with me until the very morning that I had to leave.
- 34:37SPEAKER_21: He told me one day he would have children.
- 34:41SPEAKER_21: And he would have another one.
- 34:44SPEAKER_21: And they deserved to know their family.
- 34:45SPEAKER_21: He said no duty was worth becoming a ghost to those that you loved.
- 34:50SPEAKER_21: And he takes a long drink and he goes, I wish I had listened to him.
- 34:56SPEAKER_21: But instead I asked him to keep my secret.
- 34:59SPEAKER_21: And because he loved me, and because he respected the council of Silver and Moon, on which he fought so dearly for, he did as he was asked.
- 35:11SPEAKER_21: He smiled a little softly.
- 35:12SPEAKER_21: Seems to be a more of a genuine smile this time.
- 35:16SPEAKER_21: It seems like he's finally being able to unburden himself a little bit.
- 35:22SPEAKER_21: You know, there's something else that I bet you your parents never told you.
- 35:26SPEAKER_09: Oh, there's probably a lot, apparently.
- 35:30SPEAKER_21: Did you know that your father was not the first person to hold you?
- 35:34SPEAKER_21: It was me.
- 35:37SPEAKER_21: Your father was busy with counsel while your mother gave birth.
- 35:40SPEAKER_21: And I was the one that raced over when your mother was in labor, and I arrived before he did.
- 35:46SPEAKER_09: So you got to be the one to witness the glory of the downfall of our house.
- 35:53SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 35:54SPEAKER_21: On the day that you were born, your father was trapped in an emergency session at the High Council.
- 35:59SPEAKER_21: Word had arrived of unrest at the borders, and the duty kept him from your mother's bedside.
- 36:06SPEAKER_21: He hated the fact that that happened.
- 36:08SPEAKER_21: And while he argued politics, I showed up.
- 36:11SPEAKER_21: And then you came.
- 36:14SPEAKER_21: You were so impossibly small.
- 36:16SPEAKER_21: Your hands were wrapped around one of my entire finger joints.
- 36:21SPEAKER_21: You would not let go, no matter how hard you laughed.
- 36:24SPEAKER_21: And then his smile kind of faded.
- 36:26SPEAKER_21: He goes, You know, I didn't notice when you first came out.
- 36:32SPEAKER_21: I didn't.
- 36:33SPEAKER_21: I swear to you.
- 36:34SPEAKER_21: The midwife first placed you in my arms and then they became super quiet.
- 36:37SPEAKER_21: One of them gasped, another one whispered in prayer.
- 36:41SPEAKER_21: Because as we pulled your blanket back, you could see that your tiny horns had begun to show.
- 36:46SPEAKER_21: And your skin carried a faint violet hue in your eyes.
- 36:50SPEAKER_21: Oh, oh, did they ever go?
- 36:53SPEAKER_21: There's a lot of fear in that room that day.
- 36:56SPEAKER_21: Not because I believed you were evil, but because I was scared for you on what this world was gonna judge you on.
- 37:04SPEAKER_21: And he looks right at you and he goes, I remember looking at you and just thinking how absolutely absurd it all was.
- 37:11SPEAKER_21: All the hullabaloo and all the things that they were saying and all the problems that they were making up.
- 37:17SPEAKER_21: I just thought it was so stupid.
- 37:19SPEAKER_21: You were gonna be you.
- 37:20SPEAKER_21: And here was this tiny little girl who had not even drawn her first breath yet, and already people were deciding what she'd become.
- 37:29SPEAKER_21: I refused to let that be your story.
- 37:31SPEAKER_21: I remember handing you back to your mother and telling her, I don't care what blood runs through her veins.
- 37:36SPEAKER_21: She is an Olandra before she is anything else.
- 37:40SPEAKER_09: And you still left.
- 37:44SPEAKER_21: I did.
- 37:45SPEAKER_21: Your mother cried.
- 37:46SPEAKER_21: Your father, when he finally got into the room, never even noticed your horns either.
- 37:51SPEAKER_21: Your mother and your father loved you with all their hearts.
- 37:54SPEAKER_21: From that moment on, there's never a single doubt in my mind that you were my niece, and nothing else has ever mattered to me other than that.
- 38:00SPEAKER_21: It was only a few weeks before your birth that the high council had finally made the decision that I was to leave Silvery Moon.
- 38:08SPEAKER_21: He takes another long drink and he says, long before you were born, long before Silvery Moon had been established in the high order that it was, we had discovered that this world was not alone.
- 38:20SPEAKER_21: It is not our own.
- 38:21SPEAKER_21: We have many different realms.
- 38:23SPEAKER_21: There are places beyond the edges of creation where we can travel to, where reality itself begins to unravel.
- 38:34SPEAKER_21: In one of those places, we had the veil scar.
- 38:38SPEAKER_21: It was a wound that had opened up between the worlds.
- 38:42SPEAKER_21: We had some awful things coming through there.
- 38:45SPEAKER_21: Kings gathered armies, archmages exhausted lifetimes searching for ways to close it.
- 38:50SPEAKER_21: Priests offered prayers until their voices failed them.
- 38:53SPEAKER_21: But none of it was ever enough.
- 38:55SPEAKER_21: Somebody had to stand guard at that breach.
- 38:59SPEAKER_21: Not for a battle, not for a season, but for however long it took to prevent the true evil from entering this world.
- 39:09SPEAKER_09: Is that where you went?
- 39:11SPEAKER_21: I was chosen.
- 39:12SPEAKER_21: I became the Vale Guardian.
- 39:17SPEAKER_09: Why are you back now?
- 39:19SPEAKER_21: Well, every year I would fight, I would push back the evil, and me and my crew that you see here had become the last thing that stood.
- 39:31SPEAKER_21: Every year we had asked to come home.
- 39:33SPEAKER_21: Every year we'd told the same thing.
- 39:35SPEAKER_21: One more, one more breach, one more sacrifice, and so I stayed.
- 39:39SPEAKER_21: Not because I wanted to, but because leaving would have most likely condemned in countless worlds, including this one.
- 39:48SPEAKER_21: Then, it was only a short while ago, something kind of frightened me.
- 39:55SPEAKER_21: The enemies stopped coming.
- 39:57SPEAKER_21: Not because we defeated them all, not because they surrendered, it just simply stopped.
- 40:02SPEAKER_21: At first we thought that we had done it.
- 40:05SPEAKER_21: We've defeated them.
- 40:07SPEAKER_21: And then we realized that they had just abandoned their invasion and gone elsewhere, trying another path, another way.
- 40:17SPEAKER_09: They found a backdoor.
- 40:20SPEAKER_21: Ashwell.
- 40:22SPEAKER_21: That's how I know that name.
- 40:25SPEAKER_21: We had pushed him back a few times.
- 40:28SPEAKER_21: With his um, he has an angel that he employs with him.
- 40:32SPEAKER_05: Acriel.
- 40:33SPEAKER_21: Yes.
- 40:34SPEAKER_21: We pushed them back into the Vale multiple, multiple times.
- 40:39SPEAKER_21: They just found another way.
- 40:41SPEAKER_21: And when I learned that they were no longer attacking, that was the day that I left the Vale Scar.
- 40:47SPEAKER_21: I rode without rest, sea, land, horse.
- 40:52SPEAKER_21: I crossed kingdoms as fast as I could.
- 40:54SPEAKER_21: Every moment I prayed that I would get to Silvery Moon before anything bad had happened, but I was one day too late.
- 41:03SPEAKER_21: I watched our banners burn, fall to the ground.
- 41:06SPEAKER_21: I watched our towers topple under the color of our enemies.
- 41:10SPEAKER_21: When I learned that my brother had been taken and that my family had been scattered, that everything I had spent countless centuries protecting had fallen while I stood guard over another battlefield.
- 41:20SPEAKER_21: And for the first time in my life, I wished that I had failed.
- 41:24SPEAKER_21: Not because I feared death, but because had I fallen beyond the veil, I would have died believing that I had kept my promise to my family.
- 41:31SPEAKER_21: Instead, I survived long enough to be the one to break it.
- 41:35SPEAKER_21: The evil is here.
- 41:37SPEAKER_21: I promised my brother that I would look out for our family and I would look out for you, and that promise has failed.
- 41:46SPEAKER_21: Those thoughts will remain with me until the day that I die, but that is where I have been, and that is why I am back now.
- 41:53SPEAKER_21: The Veil Scar lives to this day unguarded.
- 41:58SPEAKER_21: But we are here.
- 41:59SPEAKER_09: Is it on this plane?
- 42:01SPEAKER_21: It is on this plane.
- 42:02SPEAKER_21: It is a long journey by sea to get there.
- 42:07SPEAKER_21: But it does exist.
- 42:10SPEAKER_21: And one day I shall return there and I shall find a way to close it.
- 42:16SPEAKER_21: But you can see that I did not leave because I did not want to be there.
- 42:20SPEAKER_21: And I know now that you are here, we can unite.
- 42:24SPEAKER_21: Silvery moon has a hope.
- 42:28SPEAKER_21: I don't know how much of a hope it has, but well, how much faith do you have in these travelers that you go around with?
- 42:37SPEAKER_21: Are they of substance?
- 42:40SPEAKER_21: Can we rely on them?
- 42:45SPEAKER_09: Their hearts are in the right place.
- 42:47SPEAKER_09: I don't know if they know that.
- 42:51SPEAKER_09: They've had their own trials.
- 42:56SPEAKER_21: Well, I suppose we'll find out what they're made of.
- 43:04SPEAKER_09: Do you know of um House of Valor?
- 43:08SPEAKER_09: There was someone we were in contact with.
- 43:09SPEAKER_09: He thought his name is Theron, he thought there was treachery with the Crown Regent.
- 43:14SPEAKER_21: I believe that if there is a nobility house still within those walls, that they are probably being held together.
- 43:22SPEAKER_21: Again, I don't have that answer for you.
- 43:25SPEAKER_21: I'm not able to get any means of communication in there without being sought out.
- 43:30SPEAKER_21: The more we can find out fromin those walls, the more information I can start to gather.
- 43:38SPEAKER_09: What do you need from us?
- 43:40SPEAKER_09: Do you need us to go in there?
- 43:43SPEAKER_21: Well, this is the last place that I would want to send my niece.
- 43:46SPEAKER_21: This is the last place that I would want to send my niece.
- 43:53SPEAKER_21: You are a woman now.
- 44:00SPEAKER_21: Yeah, I see that.
- 44:02SPEAKER_21: I see that.
- 44:03SPEAKER_21: I suppose I owe you a couple hundred birthday back presents.
- 44:10SPEAKER_21: Listen.
- 44:11SPEAKER_09: I knew you had no choice, but my childhood was not a picnic.
- 44:16SPEAKER_09: With my father having to become lord, knowing what I was, do you think it was easy?
- 44:21SPEAKER_09: I supp I.
- 44:22SPEAKER_09: Do you know that I left home at 20 and he hasn't seen me for 20 years?
- 44:26SPEAKER_21: I make no assumptions.
- 44:29SPEAKER_21: All I know is that I'm here now.
- 44:31SPEAKER_21: Your father is inside those walls.
- 44:34SPEAKER_21: And I am so very glad to see you again.
- 44:40SPEAKER_21: This is a lot.
- 44:43SPEAKER_21: You don't have to believe what I'm saying to you.
- 44:47SPEAKER_21: But regardless of our family history, we have to get Silvery Moon back.
- 44:55SPEAKER_09: I agree.
- 44:56SPEAKER_21: My resources here are at your disposal.
- 44:59SPEAKER_09: Vorsix said that this is where Ashwell would make his palace.
- 45:04SPEAKER_21: Because of what's underneath Silvery Moon.
- 45:07SPEAKER_09: Julius didn't know of a convergence underneath Silvery Moon either.
- 45:11SPEAKER_21: We need to find out what that is.
- 45:13SPEAKER_21: That source of power, you can see it.
- 45:15SPEAKER_21: It pulses into the pillars.
- 45:19SPEAKER_21: There is something there that is controlling all this or putting the power out that is helping all of this work.
- 45:27SPEAKER_21: We need to figure out what is going on.
- 45:36SPEAKER_09: I don't know if we're going to be jumping straight into things or not.
- 45:44SPEAKER_09: What side of the city is this portal on?
- 45:49SPEAKER_21: Our side.
- 45:51SPEAKER_09: Not near the noble district, I assume.
- 45:54SPEAKER_21: You're west, or you're like northwestish of the Silvery Moon.
- 45:58SPEAKER_21: So it's like in the southwest corner of Silvery Moon.
- 46:02SPEAKER_21: So you can see where it's at, you just can't walk right up to it.
- 46:05SPEAKER_21: You have to just teleport to it.
- 46:07SPEAKER_09: Do you know of a name Ravenshade?
- 46:10SPEAKER_09: Have you heard of that?
- 46:11SPEAKER_18: Ravenshade.
- 46:12SPEAKER_09: He's a devil we ran into recently.
- 46:17SPEAKER_18: He doesn't know how to ring a bell.
- 46:19SPEAKER_18: Is he going to pose a problem while we're here?
- 46:21SPEAKER_09: I don't know.
- 46:22SPEAKER_09: I was in Crystalboro.
- 46:23SPEAKER_09: I don't know if he would leave, but I might have picked a fight.
- 46:28SPEAKER_21: Well, you are your father's daughter, after all.
- 46:33SPEAKER_09: Some ways, yes, I suppose.
- 46:36SPEAKER_21: I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised.
- 46:39SPEAKER_11: You're getting off lucky right now.
- 46:44SPEAKER_21: Okay, well, I have matters to attend to.
- 46:48SPEAKER_09: Is it safe for me to appear like this here?
- 46:52SPEAKER_21: Yes.
- 46:53SPEAKER_21: And if you have any issues, they will be brought before me.
- 46:58SPEAKER_09: Is this when the world finds out?
- 47:02SPEAKER_21: That's up to you.
- 47:04SPEAKER_21: I'll never say a word.
- 47:06SPEAKER_21: But if you want to exp be yourself, this is a safe place for you to do that.
- 47:15SPEAKER_09: I don't know if I'm ready for that yet.
- 47:21SPEAKER_21: He puts his cup down and kind of walks over and like tentatively goes to grab you by the shoulders and says, baby steps, then.
- 47:30SPEAKER_21: Baby steps.
- 47:32SPEAKER_09: Remove his hands.
- 47:34SPEAKER_09: Baby steps.
- 47:35unknown: Right.
- 47:36SPEAKER_21: He's just gonna leave.
- 47:37SPEAKER_21: So you uh literally just met.
- 47:39SPEAKER_21: Yeah, so you walk back out uh into the um kind of the morning bustle and air of the encampment.
- 47:48SPEAKER_21: You've got the map there as well, so you can kind of clearly see where you want to go.
- 47:52SPEAKER_21: Where are you guys now?
- 47:53SPEAKER_21: What have you done?
- 47:55SPEAKER_09: Um we were escorted to the barracks, we assume.
- 48:00SPEAKER_21: Yeah, it's kind of wherever you want to go, is where you'll be escorted to.
- 48:04SPEAKER_21: No.
- 48:04SPEAKER_07: Well, we don't know the place.
- 48:06SPEAKER_07: We've just this is our first experience here, so we don't know particularly where we want to go.
- 48:11SPEAKER_07: So I would want to our stuff off.
- 48:14SPEAKER_21: Yeah, you would know where you would want to go.
- 48:16SPEAKER_21: You would be like, oh, we're we've got a tent, let's go there.
- 48:18SPEAKER_21: Or I have to use latrine, let's go there, right?
- 48:21SPEAKER_21: Like you would know that you want to go in a direction.
- 48:23SPEAKER_22: Yeah.
- 48:24SPEAKER_22: Well, so we're asked, well, yeah, we can go to the barracks versus where the two of us go.
- 48:27SPEAKER_22: Let's get out of the winter clothing, drop off and see if they can just go in there.
- 48:32SPEAKER_07: And then I'd I would like to just walk around and see what there is.
- 48:37SPEAKER_07: Just kind of lay eyes on the entirety of the camp.
- 48:42SPEAKER_21: Okay, yeah.
- 48:42SPEAKER_21: So the camp itself is like really well executed as you expect any Elven camp to be.
- 48:46SPEAKER_21: Uh, they've taken great care and detail into making sure that you know the train is removed and away from anywhere where you would congregate or eat.
- 48:55SPEAKER_21: Yeah, tracks is in there.
- 48:56SPEAKER_21: Uh the training grounds are well maintained, and the ground is very level and easy to battle on, and lots of equipment and training supplies are over there.
- 49:05SPEAKER_21: Uh, you've got a storage tent that's got a lot of items in it that you could go and look and see and see if there's anything in there for you.
- 49:12SPEAKER_21: Um, the war council fire.
- 49:15SPEAKER_21: There's like a section in the middle of the camp there where you can sit and congregate and talk with other elves and you know, meet people, make plans if you don't want to sit inside the war tent, the main gate.
- 49:26SPEAKER_22: So at the top, the how tall is that big big silver oak at the back of the you must go climb a sacred tree.
- 49:37SPEAKER_21: It's the size of an oak tree.
- 49:38SPEAKER_21: It's uh it's a normal size tree.
- 49:39SPEAKER_22: So it stands out above the tent.
- 49:42SPEAKER_21: Yeah, you can see it clearly from wherever you're on the camp.
- 49:46SPEAKER_21: Unless you're inside the tent, you won't be able to see it.
- 49:47unknown: Yeah.
- 49:48SPEAKER_05: So I guess that's where we're heading.
- 49:52SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 49:52SPEAKER_05: I'll I'll I'll do a quick look around the camp and then uh I would head straight for the tree after.
- 49:59SPEAKER_21: Okay.
- 50:00SPEAKER_21: So you just you're you just see lots of other elves just walking around kind of doing their stuff.
- 50:08SPEAKER_21: What about you, uh, Bold?
- 50:10SPEAKER_21: Anything you want to do?
- 50:11SPEAKER_23: Uh there's really not too much to do.
- 50:13SPEAKER_23: We're just sort of in a war camp.
- 50:15SPEAKER_23: Um there isn't a lot to do.
- 50:18SPEAKER_21: There's places to shop.
- 50:19SPEAKER_21: There's uh you guys are actually places to Well, yeah, all these tents are like, if you look at that map, they're all those tents have like a location on them.
- 50:29SPEAKER_23: Um yeah, I guess I could take a look around and see what sort of things they have.
- 50:32SPEAKER_23: Anything that looks uh really nice, I guess, if you will.
- 50:36SPEAKER_19: Okay.
- 50:37SPEAKER_23: If there is potentially anything that would be useful.
- 50:39SPEAKER_21: Yeah, there's not really um, it's not like a great marketplace or great place to shop.
- 50:44SPEAKER_21: Like it's not like when you're in a big giant city where you'll find some really cool rare items or stuff that's been accumulated when there's a lot of people that congregate.
- 50:51SPEAKER_21: This is the stuff that has been salvaged, brought up, silver and moon, or created while you're there.
- 50:56SPEAKER_21: So there are some uh there's arrows there.
- 50:58SPEAKER_21: Um there's a Fletcher that's there that's making arrows for you as well.
- 51:03SPEAKER_21: Um there's markets you can smell.
- 51:05SPEAKER_23: There's uh there's a mess hall, there's an old pair of boots just kicking around or something that just happened to, you know, someone just sort of left behind or something.
- 51:13SPEAKER_07: Yeah, but they're sadly mundane.
- 51:16SPEAKER_23: Yeah, exactly.
- 51:18SPEAKER_07: You don't like your boots?
- 51:19SPEAKER_07: What's wrong with your boots?
- 51:21SPEAKER_07: Maybe there's nicer ones, right?
- 51:26SPEAKER_07: Melvin boots of walking.
- 51:28SPEAKER_08: Normal walking.
- 51:29SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 51:30SPEAKER_08: No, no, no.
- 51:30SPEAKER_08: Olympics be walking.
- 51:32SPEAKER_08: You always have the butt wiggle.
- 51:37SPEAKER_22: Oh, I like this.
- 51:45SPEAKER_23: I'll walk.
- 51:45SPEAKER_23: Like I'll at least take a look and see if anything looks like it could have been passed over or something that could have value.
- 51:51SPEAKER_23: Okay.
- 51:51SPEAKER_23: Maybe a magical nature, or you know, not looking slightly out of place.
- 51:56SPEAKER_23: It's maybe stuff behind something, who knows, right?
- 51:58SPEAKER_23: Okay.
- 51:59SPEAKER_23: Yeah, there's uh or ask the shopkeepers as well if they potentially have anything like that.
- 52:04SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 52:04SPEAKER_21: Um so are you gonna go into one of them or like uh sugar?
- 52:07SPEAKER_21: Yeah, okay.
- 52:08SPEAKER_21: So yeah, you go into which one are you gonna go into?
- 52:10SPEAKER_23: There's uh there's a barracks tent, there's a weapons tent, there's uh let's look for like like leather or something like that.
- 52:16SPEAKER_21: A leather worker?
- 52:17SPEAKER_21: I think there should be something there is a uh armor's tent.
- 52:23SPEAKER_12: Leather wheel.
- 52:24SPEAKER_21: You can head into there if you like.
- 52:26SPEAKER_21: Sure.
- 52:27SPEAKER_21: So you walk in and you are greeted by just like a normal-looking handsome elf.
- 52:33SPEAKER_21: He's wearing some pretty cool looking embroidered and designed armor, like uh bracers for firing arrows, and he's got like cool shoulder, like cool shoulder pads that have some really unique designs and stuff on them.
- 52:47SPEAKER_21: And you walk in and he just kind of has his hands placed.
- 52:50SPEAKER_21: He's like, Good morning.
- 52:53SPEAKER_23: I I would have to speak back in Albany Morning.
- 52:55SPEAKER_23: Yeah, yeah.
- 52:56SPEAKER_21: He kind of raises an eyebrow as you do that.
- 52:58SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 53:00SPEAKER_21: What can I help you with today?
- 53:03SPEAKER_23: I'm trying to see if there's anything that would be useful to me in here that uh uh, you know, that isn't a common sort of item, if you will, that uh maybe better than your average sort of quality of goods.
- 53:18SPEAKER_21: He kind of like releases a hand and he goes, Sir, you are in an eleven armor tent.
- 53:25SPEAKER_21: They are all higher quality than most of the items that you have seen.
- 53:31SPEAKER_23: Well, that is fair.
- 53:32SPEAKER_23: I'm looking for something that would be rather comfortable, still very quiet.
- 53:36SPEAKER_23: You can see how we're just laters too but has to move quietly.
- 53:40SPEAKER_23: I am fairly adept at that.
- 53:42SPEAKER_21: And he kind of leans over and looks at your feet and he's like, hmm, I don't know what I would have that would fit human feet.
- 53:54SPEAKER_21: But let me look.
- 53:57SPEAKER_23: I tell you, I'm really not that far off.
- 53:59SPEAKER_21: I'm actually quite only 5'5 and quite slender, so he pulls a pulls a pair of boots off the shelf and he puts them down in front of you, and they are they're beautifully looking boots, and they have uh like lots of designs and stuff on them.
- 54:14SPEAKER_21: And on the side of the boot, there's uh what looks like an elven contraption, and it's a compressed spring.
- 54:23SPEAKER_21: Oh yeah.
- 54:25SPEAKER_21: These boots are one of our more interesting items.
- 54:32SPEAKER_21: They will allow you to double your jump height for one jump, and then they must be reset.
- 54:41SPEAKER_21: Takes this key, and you would be required to wind the boot back up in order to jump again.
- 54:49SPEAKER_21: Interesting.
- 54:50SPEAKER_21: However, they are not very quiet.
- 54:52SPEAKER_23: Yeah, I don't think that would be something that would be all that inter I guess depends on the price.
- 54:58SPEAKER_03: Uh, these boots take about 2,000 gold.
- 55:04SPEAKER_09: The Sparta's economy sucks.
- 55:06SPEAKER_23: Yeah, it's like that seems insane.
- 55:08SPEAKER_23: I I can't even think about that sort of pricing.
- 55:13SPEAKER_21: Well, sir, you are dealing with Elvin Palmer.
- 55:17SPEAKER_21: It is top quality.
- 55:19unknown: Oh.
- 55:20SPEAKER_21: Is there something perhaps that I can make for you that you are looking for specifically?
- 55:28SPEAKER_23: Okay.
- 55:29SPEAKER_23: I guess I'm just gonna head out because it doesn't seem to be worth my time.
- 55:32SPEAKER_21: It's expensive.
- 55:33SPEAKER_21: Yeah, not worth my time.
- 55:34SPEAKER_21: Especially if you're looking for stuff like that.
- 55:37SPEAKER_21: Um, yeah.
- 55:38SPEAKER_21: So as you walk out, you walk back into the uh sunshine again, and you can see again your friends are all kind of wandering around.
- 55:44SPEAKER_21: With that, we are gonna take a short break.
- 55:50SPEAKER_13: Delphine here.

- 57:24SPEAKER_21: Anyone that wants to do anything.
- 57:27SPEAKER_21: A messaging.
- 57:28SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 57:28SPEAKER_21: There's an amazing smell coming from that message.
- 57:30SPEAKER_21: I'm a big guy.
- 57:31SPEAKER_21: I need a lot.
- 57:32SPEAKER_21: He's a bigger boy.
- 57:34SPEAKER_09: Crowing boys need their tang.
- 57:36SPEAKER_21: All right.
- 57:40SPEAKER_09: Delphine's just kind of wandering the camp with a very distant, slightly angry look on her face, but she's still got her father's ring on, and I think she's gonna end up wandering her way down to that tree for a moment before she figures out where she wants to go.
- 57:57SPEAKER_14: Good, you can come find me.
- 58:00SPEAKER_21: Oh, yeah.
- 58:01SPEAKER_21: Yep, that's where we're going.
- 58:02SPEAKER_21: Einar's gonna climb in.
- 58:04SPEAKER_21: You get there, Einar's carving his name into the side of the tree.
- 58:10SPEAKER_02: With a big heart around it.
- 58:14SPEAKER_22: Just put my boo.
- 58:15SPEAKER_22: I'm more interested in the uh the wraps right now in doing something, but continue.
- 58:21SPEAKER_21: Alright, so you get down there, you get to the tree, and it's this beautiful silver oak tree that you remember from your childhood.
- 58:28unknown: Okay.
- 58:29SPEAKER_09: Just kind of staring up at it.
- 58:32SPEAKER_09: Poliander looks over and sees that Delphine has joined us at the tree.
- 58:36SPEAKER_09: Not yet aware you're there.
- 58:38SPEAKER_09: I'm just kind of in a thought.
- 58:39SPEAKER_09: Alright.
- 58:40SPEAKER_07: Uh I'll I'll approach Delphine quietly.
- 58:43SPEAKER_07: I can see that she is uh not quite looking her self.
- 58:51SPEAKER_07: I was gonna say your peachy self, but she's not peachy.
- 58:55SPEAKER_07: Yeah, she's plummy.
- 58:56SPEAKER_07: She's purple.
- 58:58SPEAKER_10: Right?
- 59:00SPEAKER_07: Um I'll just quietly walk up to her and I will slip my hand in yours and just try and be quietly supportive and see if you want to talk about anything.
- 59:13SPEAKER_09: Why isn't he dead?
- 59:17SPEAKER_09: Some people are hard to kill.
- 59:21SPEAKER_09: Do you want him to be dead?
- 59:24SPEAKER_09: He is supposed to be.
- 59:27SPEAKER_09: He died, I barely remember.
- 59:32SPEAKER_09: Only apparently he didn't.
- 59:34SPEAKER_05: Would it be better if he was dead?
- 59:36SPEAKER_05: Is it good that he was not dead?
- 59:38SPEAKER_09: Yes, of course.
- 59:40SPEAKER_09: Just ask me.
- 59:44SPEAKER_09: Just I was told he was dead.
- 59:46SPEAKER_09: My father told me he was dead.
- 59:47SPEAKER_09: Apparently, my father knew he was not dead.
- 59:51SPEAKER_07: So they've been lying to you?
- 59:53SPEAKER_09: Mm-hmm.
- 59:56SPEAKER_09: Just rearranging my immense of my childhood in my head right now.
- 1:00:02SPEAKER_05: Why did they lie about it?
- 1:00:04SPEAKER_09: Apparently he was chosen to go guard something called the Veil Sar, and that's why my entire life had to go to shit.
- 1:00:14SPEAKER_22: Did he tell you what this veil scar was?
- 1:00:18SPEAKER_22: He just doesn't look over at you, keeps looking up and down this tree.
- 1:00:23SPEAKER_22: It's caught his attention.
- 1:00:27SPEAKER_22: Brand new morning with something echoing around it.
- 1:00:29SPEAKER_09: It's a split between the planes.
- 1:00:31SPEAKER_09: He was keeping.
- 1:00:34SPEAKER_09: I say the name quietly, Ashwill out there.
- 1:00:39SPEAKER_15: That catches my attention.
- 1:00:41SPEAKER_15: Do look over to you with a quite school look.
- 1:00:45SPEAKER_05: But if it makes you feel any better, I don't think being chosen is necessarily a great thing for they that are chosen.
- 1:00:58SPEAKER_05: I mean, granddad chose me and I think the whole family's gone to shit for it.
- 1:01:07SPEAKER_05: Maybe you're better off not having to be around him.
- 1:01:12SPEAKER_05: I don't think so, but I don't know.
- 1:01:18SPEAKER_09: Life is not uncomplicated.
- 1:01:22SPEAKER_09: But the tree is beautiful.
- 1:01:24SPEAKER_09: It is a beautiful tree.
- 1:01:25SPEAKER_09: I remember this tree.
- 1:01:27SPEAKER_09: Did you come here as a child?
- 1:01:30SPEAKER_09: My parents brought me here as a child.
- 1:01:32SPEAKER_09: A lot of noble children are brought here.
- 1:01:35SPEAKER_06: Do you climb the tree?
- 1:01:36SPEAKER_09: No.
- 1:01:38SPEAKER_09: You do not climb this tree.
- 1:01:44SPEAKER_09: This is a sacred tree.
- 1:01:46SPEAKER_09: Sacred trees are meant to be embraced.
- 1:01:48SPEAKER_09: Not this one.
- 1:01:50SPEAKER_09: You may hug the trunk.
- 1:01:52SPEAKER_09: Please do not climb and damage the tree.
- 1:01:55SPEAKER_09: I already hugged the trunk.
- 1:01:56SPEAKER_07: Put the pocket knife away, Ileander just kneels down and runs her fingers through the soil and kind of up and down the roots.
- 1:02:07SPEAKER_07: Just appreciating this majestic tree.
- 1:02:12SPEAKER_21: This is a very beautiful tree.
- 1:02:14SPEAKER_21: Silver leaves hang and they kind of like catch the sun.
- 1:02:18SPEAKER_21: The bark on the tree itself is uh like a silver sheen.
- 1:02:22SPEAKER_21: It's still a wooden tree, but like it's like a silver fine powder that coats and is keeping it insect-free and not able to be rotten.
- 1:02:34SPEAKER_21: And every single part of the tree trunk is in good condition.
- 1:02:37SPEAKER_05: Antibacterial.
- 1:02:38SPEAKER_21: Yeah, it's a great uh silver antibacterial.
- 1:02:41unknown: Yeah.
- 1:02:42SPEAKER_05: Are there any leaves on the ground or is everything fully attached?
- 1:02:45SPEAKER_05: Fully attached, yeah.
- 1:02:47SPEAKER_05: If I rub the bark, do my hands come out with any.
- 1:02:51SPEAKER_21: Your hands get silvery.
- 1:02:53SPEAKER_09: Delphine just kind of grabs them like, don't, please don't, don't do that.
- 1:02:57SPEAKER_07: I just casually um rub my face on the bark.
- 1:03:01SPEAKER_09: As I as I You're making it weird.
- 1:03:06SPEAKER_09: I want sparkles.
- 1:03:07SPEAKER_09: This tree is ancient.
- 1:03:08SPEAKER_09: Please be respectful.
- 1:03:10SPEAKER_09: I would expect you to.
- 1:03:12SPEAKER_09: I am respecting nature and its beauty.
- 1:03:16SPEAKER_21: As you touch the tree, Ventor recoils a little bit and is like, whoa.
- 1:03:22SPEAKER_21: I don't like this.
- 1:03:23SPEAKER_05: Ventor, be polite.
- 1:03:25SPEAKER_09: Have manners.
- 1:03:26SPEAKER_09: Respect.
- 1:03:27SPEAKER_09: Come on.
- 1:03:27SPEAKER_09: Don't make me look bad.
- 1:03:30SPEAKER_19: I don't like this.
- 1:03:32SPEAKER_19: Why?
- 1:03:33SPEAKER_19: Too bright.
- 1:03:35SPEAKER_19: I'm going to bed.
- 1:03:36SPEAKER_19: Pretty.
- 1:03:39SPEAKER_08: Fine, go to bed.
- 1:03:40SPEAKER_08: Have a nap.
- 1:03:40SPEAKER_08: I'll join you later.
- 1:03:42SPEAKER_22: So Anar doesn't seem to also take in anything that they're doing.
- 1:03:46SPEAKER_22: He's fixated on the tree.
- 1:03:49SPEAKER_22: And in a moment of impulse, he reaches out his hand and just palms it.
- 1:03:54SPEAKER_22: I'm feeling the ancestry, the history of the tree.
- 1:03:58SPEAKER_22: I think it's the first time I'll use answer echoes of uh ancestry.
- 1:04:02SPEAKER_21: Okay, as you do that though, you get the noctus, it also tries to recall.
- 1:04:06SPEAKER_21: Sorry.
- 1:04:07SPEAKER_22: I don't like this.
- 1:04:12SPEAKER_22: And still with it, I mean, and recognizing that he's pulled back, I'm still, as I touch the tree, there's an impulse.
- 1:04:20SPEAKER_22: And he just utters to himself, activating again echoes of guidance.
- 1:04:24SPEAKER_22: Kind of he goes, ancestors, what's our best, what's our path forward here?
- 1:04:31SPEAKER_22: What's our best play?
- 1:04:33SPEAKER_21: Um, so the ancestry thing is what do what do you get?
- 1:04:38SPEAKER_22: Is that a feed or it's the brand new thing that was attached to the wraps?
- 1:04:42SPEAKER_22: Oh, that right, okay.
- 1:04:43SPEAKER_22: The main reason I attuned to the wraps.
- 1:04:46SPEAKER_22: Right, right, right, right, right.
- 1:04:47SPEAKER_22: I would, yeah.
- 1:04:48SPEAKER_22: This felt like the right place to first do it.
- 1:04:50SPEAKER_22: This tree seems like a reverent ancestral place.
- 1:04:55SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 1:04:56SPEAKER_21: Okay, let's take a look here.
- 1:04:58SPEAKER_21: Echoes of guidance.
- 1:04:59SPEAKER_21: Okay, that's what we're using.
- 1:05:00SPEAKER_21: Okay.
- 1:05:00SPEAKER_21: So once we're done, you hold the wraps and quietly ask the question.
- 1:05:03SPEAKER_21: Oh, that's exactly what you did.
- 1:05:04SPEAKER_21: Okay, perfect.
- 1:05:05SPEAKER_21: Um, okay, so the guidance reveals, never reveals the future, or gives direct answers.
- 1:05:09SPEAKER_21: Yeah, okay, so you place your hand on there, you do get that like interesting feeling and sensation that Noctus doesn't want you to be touching the tree, but you push through it and you do it anyway.
- 1:05:18SPEAKER_21: Uh, and you do get a little bit of silver dust on your hands.
- 1:05:23SPEAKER_21: And your uh again, your question was where do we go?
- 1:05:26SPEAKER_21: What do we do?
- 1:05:26SPEAKER_21: What's our path forward?
- 1:05:28SPEAKER_21: What's our best path forward?
- 1:05:29SPEAKER_21: The answer that you get is not really a voice, it's more of like a feeling, of like a sensation of the the path, the path forward is the path to justice, which you you know, and that's what has been taught to you by your your father.
- 1:05:48SPEAKER_21: That's when but you've lived your life on that, that the path forward is always justice, and that just rings in your mind.
- 1:05:55SPEAKER_22: You see, Einar is kind of nodding.
- 1:06:00SPEAKER_22: As if he's had some realization.
- 1:06:03SPEAKER_22: And then pulls his hand back and then pull back.
- 1:06:06SPEAKER_22: And then just again, sits there in front of the tree looking at it.
- 1:06:12SPEAKER_21: Okay.
- 1:06:14SPEAKER_21: There is no hammering in the tree.
- 1:06:18SPEAKER_05: Um I'll pull Delphine away gently.
- 1:06:22SPEAKER_05: As long as you're ready to go.
- 1:06:24SPEAKER_05: You need more time here.
- 1:06:27SPEAKER_05: No! Would you like to be distracted?
- 1:06:29SPEAKER_09: Yes.
- 1:06:32SPEAKER_09: I need to go, um let's go look and see what they have around the camp.
- 1:06:36SPEAKER_09: Magic components or pearls, or we need to let's go to the healer's tent.
- 1:06:42SPEAKER_09: We need to get supplies and figure out what we're going to do.
- 1:06:49SPEAKER_09: Go shopping.
- 1:06:51SPEAKER_09: I need to go to um yeah.
- 1:06:54SPEAKER_09: We can go to the healer's tent if that's what we're doing.
- 1:06:56SPEAKER_09: I just think that maybe that they might have um purple supplies there.
- 1:07:02SPEAKER_09: And if not, then we'll go to whatever other vendors they have in the town.
- 1:07:07SPEAKER_09: Might and scribe tent.
- 1:07:09SPEAKER_09: Where would I find if there were sundry spell components?
- 1:07:14SPEAKER_09: I think she'd go and pick up some stuff.
- 1:07:16SPEAKER_21: Yeah, and it's again, it's a camp, so like the uh stuff's gonna be scarce.
- 1:07:21SPEAKER_21: But uh yeah, for sure.
- 1:07:23SPEAKER_21: So you're going to sorry, see that again, you went to the water.
- 1:07:26SPEAKER_09: I just thought of something she needs to ask her uncle.
- 1:07:29SPEAKER_21: Well they uh it's good to know where he's at.
- 1:07:33SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 1:07:34SPEAKER_09: We're just going to um go into the healers and market tents to see if there are see what there is uh that might be of use to us.
- 1:07:44SPEAKER_21: Sure.
- 1:07:45SPEAKER_21: What is it that you are are you looking for anything specific?
- 1:07:48SPEAKER_09: Uh specifically, I am looking for rose petals.
- 1:07:51SPEAKER_09: And uh for um any gentle rose oil ingredients, scrolls, scrolls, gentle repose.
- 1:08:03SPEAKER_09: Gentle repose or revivify or revivify.
- 1:08:06SPEAKER_05: Yes, healing spells, revivify, or gentle repose spells, rose petals, and also I really want a bag of holding, and I want to look for one really bad.
- 1:08:17SPEAKER_05: And I don't like sharing with racks.
- 1:08:20SPEAKER_21: That's fair.
- 1:08:20SPEAKER_21: I'm sick of sharing all the time.
- 1:08:22SPEAKER_21: Uh you won't find the bag of holding in the market tent, fortunately.
- 1:08:27SPEAKER_21: But uh so you go into the healer's tent, and behind the kind of like there's like a table that's been set up, and you just see this like very, very beautiful looking elven woman, and you walk in and she kind of looks you up and down and gives you that elven eyebrow arch.
- 1:08:50SPEAKER_09: I'm with her, I'm just kind of looking very distracted.
- 1:08:53SPEAKER_21: Yep.
- 1:08:54SPEAKER_21: And she looks at you and gives you just like a nod.
- 1:08:57SPEAKER_21: Is there something that I can help you with?
- 1:09:01SPEAKER_05: Yes, I'm looking for healing implements.
- 1:09:04SPEAKER_05: Um rose pills, gentle repose, or revivify scrolls, or any other healing scrolls that could potentially be useful in um combat situations or after?
- 1:09:19SPEAKER_21: I don't have scrolls, but I do have healers potions, and I do have items that you can use to cast those.
- 1:09:29SPEAKER_18: So rose petals, yes, we do have those.
- 1:09:31SPEAKER_18: Okay.
- 1:09:32SPEAKER_21: May I ask um what brings you to our camp?
- 1:09:36SPEAKER_21: You're not from around these parts.
- 1:09:39SPEAKER_05: No, I'm in honestly, I no longer know why I am anywhere.
- 1:09:46SPEAKER_09: I am just kinda unluckily drawn into a lot of shit.
- 1:09:54SPEAKER_09: Delphine and Dolphin rests her hand with her father's ring on the counter, I'm assuming there's a humor.
- 1:09:59SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 1:09:59SPEAKER_09: And just says, General Arendelle is sending us in.
- 1:10:05SPEAKER_21: And she looks over and immediately recognizes the House of Alandra.
- 1:10:09SPEAKER_21: She goes, Oh, I see.
- 1:10:10SPEAKER_05: Yes, that answer.
- 1:10:12SPEAKER_21: Yes.
- 1:10:13SPEAKER_21: Well then, um, whatever you need, of course, it's at your disposal.
- 1:10:19SPEAKER_21: What you see here is what we have available.
- 1:10:21SPEAKER_21: And then you what you can see on the wall, there's like a little it's like a little shelving vial, or like a it looks like a holder for vials, and there's six spots, and uh three of them are empty, but there's three healing potions in there and little healing vials.
- 1:10:35SPEAKER_21: And then there is a box with looks like spell, it's it's kind of like spell components and eldon, and they're all neatly stacked in there.
- 1:10:42SPEAKER_21: And she goes and she grabs like the rose petals and brings them over and brings over the healing potions, puts them on the counter too, and she's like, Is there anything else that we can give to the aid of our general?
- 1:10:52SPEAKER_09: Part of um I I'm I think I might need to use a few of my spells several times, hopefully.
- 1:11:00SPEAKER_09: Do you have the ingredients for the true seeing spell available?
- 1:11:05SPEAKER_09: Just even a couple more might help me.
- 1:11:09SPEAKER_21: I will see what I have.
- 1:11:11SPEAKER_09: That's the saffron, powdered mushroom, and fat for the ointment.
- 1:11:16SPEAKER_21: I will see, but I have those sound-like ingredients that we would have.
- 1:11:19SPEAKER_21: Give me one moment, please.
- 1:11:20SPEAKER_21: She goes and she gets the box and she kind of rifles through it, and then yeah, she pulls out some saffron.
- 1:11:26SPEAKER_21: She pulls out, yeah, she pulls out the fat and pulls everything out, and she goes, Oh, yes, I do.
- 1:11:30SPEAKER_21: I have what you need.
- 1:11:31SPEAKER_21: Please take it with my regards.
- 1:11:34SPEAKER_09: How many uses?
- 1:11:35SPEAKER_09: Because they're consumed each time.
- 1:11:37SPEAKER_21: Consumed each time.
- 1:11:38SPEAKER_09: Uh roll a die?
- 1:11:40SPEAKER_21: Yeah, roll me a die six.
- 1:11:41SPEAKER_21: D6.
- 1:11:41SPEAKER_21: D6.
- 1:11:44SPEAKER_21: One uh take two.
- 1:11:47SPEAKER_09: Two uses.
- 1:11:48SPEAKER_09: Thank you.
- 1:11:50SPEAKER_05: Um, would that be the same for rose pills?
- 1:11:53SPEAKER_21: Yeah, roll your doses.
- 1:11:55SPEAKER_21: And roll a d6.
- 1:12:00SPEAKER_10: That is really cool.
- 1:12:01SPEAKER_10: Like you can't get more preview than that.
- 1:12:03SPEAKER_10: Because he was saying sex.
- 1:12:06SPEAKER_21: Another one.
- 1:12:07SPEAKER_10: Son of a dog.
- 1:12:08SPEAKER_09: It's a two.
- 1:12:08SPEAKER_09: It's a two.
- 1:12:09SPEAKER_21: Um, you get two.
- 1:12:12SPEAKER_09: Do you know where we might find spells with the scribes, do you think, or at the general market, or if there are any?
- 1:12:19SPEAKER_09: I know supplies are very thin.
- 1:12:22SPEAKER_21: I think that you would have the most success by talking with the spellcasters and seeing what they have available.
- 1:12:31SPEAKER_21: You will find them most likely in the barracks, or you could find them in the mess hall, or perhaps in the war council fire area.
- 1:12:41SPEAKER_09: It's would be the head mage here.
- 1:12:45SPEAKER_21: Uh, just give me a moment.
- 1:12:47SPEAKER_21: The head mage would be uh Naivara Silverleaf.
- 1:12:51SPEAKER_03: She's younger than most, but is exceptionally gifted at her spell casting.
- 1:12:57SPEAKER_09: Do I recognize that as a noble name or Silverleaf?
- 1:13:02SPEAKER_09: Is she a commoner?
- 1:13:04SPEAKER_21: Uh let's say she's a commoner.
- 1:13:06unknown: Okay.
- 1:13:08SPEAKER_21: Controlling the knowledge out of you here.
- 1:13:10SPEAKER_21: Okay, yeah.
- 1:13:12SPEAKER_09: Alright.
- 1:13:12SPEAKER_09: Um, would you like payment for these supplies?
- 1:13:17SPEAKER_21: Payment is not necessary.
- 1:13:19SPEAKER_21: Whatever comes to the aid of our king and the freedom of silvery moon is my pleasure to oblige.
- 1:13:26SPEAKER_09: Thank you.
- 1:13:27SPEAKER_09: I appreciate it.
- 1:13:28SPEAKER_09: Of course.
- 1:13:30SPEAKER_09: Do you want to go to the market tent?
- 1:13:33SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 1:13:34SPEAKER_09: See what we can see, and then I might go find this silver leaf, and I just remember something I need to ask my uncle.
- 1:13:42SPEAKER_09: I was in a bit of a state when we spoke, and I was not thinking clearly.
- 1:13:46SPEAKER_06: I can understand that.
- 1:13:49SPEAKER_21: She'll even watch as uh the elf goes.
- 1:13:54SPEAKER_21: Safe travels.
- 1:13:57SPEAKER_09: Safe journeys as well.
- 1:13:59SPEAKER_05: Thank you.
- 1:14:02SPEAKER_05: I mean, we're not really traveling.
- 1:14:07SPEAKER_05: She's creepy.
- 1:14:08SPEAKER_05: We're traveling across the barrier.
- 1:14:10SPEAKER_09: I mean I mean, it was a nice sentiment.
- 1:14:13SPEAKER_09: It's a nice sentiment.
- 1:14:15SPEAKER_05: Yeah, she's kind of sweet, isn't she?
- 1:14:19SPEAKER_09: She's kind of fucked.
- 1:14:21SPEAKER_09: She's a little hippy-dippy.
- 1:14:24SPEAKER_09: The elven equivalent of very granola.
- 1:14:32SPEAKER_09: All right, do you want to go to the market?
- 1:14:33SPEAKER_09: Maybe we run into other people at the market.
- 1:14:35SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 1:14:36SPEAKER_02: I'm I'm at the mess hall.
- 1:14:37SPEAKER_09: You're at the mess hall.
- 1:14:38SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 1:14:39SPEAKER_09: Eventually we have to eat.
- 1:14:40SPEAKER_09: You are a big boy.
- 1:14:42SPEAKER_21: Okay, yeah.
- 1:14:43SPEAKER_21: So you uh you walk across to the mess hall, there's some the aroma of amazing food coming out of there.
- 1:14:48SPEAKER_21: Elven food.
- 1:14:48SPEAKER_21: He's at the mess hall.
- 1:14:49SPEAKER_21: Oh, you're at the mess hall, sorry.
- 1:14:50SPEAKER_21: You guys are going to the market tent.
- 1:14:51SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 1:14:52SPEAKER_21: Uh you do uh, I think you walk by the mess hall there, do you not?
- 1:14:55SPEAKER_09: We will, probably, I think.
- 1:14:57SPEAKER_21: Yes, market tent, mess hall.
- 1:14:59SPEAKER_21: Yeah, you're right next to each other.
- 1:15:00SPEAKER_21: So uh you walk through the you're walking through the the encampment there, and you come by the um the war council fire pit, and you can see there's a couple of elves sitting around in a circle there, and they're just like cross-legged with straight backs, and they're chatting with each other and talking about the days coming up and what they're gonna do.
- 1:15:22SPEAKER_21: And there's one young lady there, and she is um just practicing with casting flames in her hand and dumping it from hand to hand, and she's just like perfecting and working on spell casting, and then the uh market tent is directly uh to the right.
- 1:15:41SPEAKER_04: Do you think that's still really?
- 1:15:45SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah, probably maybe.
- 1:15:48SPEAKER_05: Well, I mean, would she really just be practicing simple tricks like that?
- 1:15:53SPEAKER_09: I mean, I do.
- 1:15:54SPEAKER_09: Do you?
- 1:15:54SPEAKER_09: I think I just don't do it in front of you guys.
- 1:15:57SPEAKER_09: What do you think I do while you're sleeping?
- 1:16:00SPEAKER_09: Four hours where I really do read.
- 1:16:02SPEAKER_09: I do read a lot, but sometimes my eyes get tired.
- 1:16:04SPEAKER_09: We can go check.
- 1:16:05SPEAKER_09: We'll walk up to them.
- 1:16:06SPEAKER_09: At the very least, we can ask her if she knows where this person is.
- 1:16:08SPEAKER_09: Is Drunken near her?
- 1:16:10SPEAKER_08: Drunken's in the mess hall.
- 1:16:11SPEAKER_21: Drunken's in the mess hall.
- 1:16:12SPEAKER_08: I thought you said she's in the mess hall.
- 1:16:13SPEAKER_09: No, we're at that.
- 1:16:14SPEAKER_09: This is the more metal fire.
- 1:16:16SPEAKER_09: Okay, sorry.
- 1:16:16SPEAKER_09: Right there, 19, number 19.
- 1:16:18SPEAKER_07: Okay, my bad.
- 1:16:19SPEAKER_07: Sorry.
- 1:16:19SPEAKER_07: I thought you said she was in the mess hall.
- 1:16:22unknown: No.
- 1:16:22unknown: No.
- 1:16:24SPEAKER_21: Uh yeah, so you get to her and she kind of casually just looks up and smiles at you.
- 1:16:28SPEAKER_21: Rolled.
- 1:16:29SPEAKER_21: Uh you walk out of that armory and you're like, oh man.
- 1:16:32SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:16:33SPEAKER_21: And then you think to yourself, oh, I should have asked of something else.
- 1:16:38SPEAKER_21: And you go back in and now you can roll the investigation check.
- 1:16:42SPEAKER_21: Oh, okay.
- 1:16:45SPEAKER_23: Uh nine and I think eleven, so 20.
- 1:16:49SPEAKER_21: Yeah, 20?
- 1:16:50SPEAKER_21: Okay.
- 1:16:50SPEAKER_21: So on the shelf there, you see, he didn't mention a lot of the stuff that he had sitting around there.
- 1:16:57SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 1:16:57SPEAKER_21: Um, but you do notice uh there is a pair of boots that catches your eye, and they almost look like they're a sock.
- 1:17:03SPEAKER_21: Like a sock.
- 1:17:04SPEAKER_21: But they have like uh they look like they've got uh some sort of special coating on the bottom that makes it look like they're very, very comfortable.
- 1:17:12SPEAKER_21: Oh, okay.
- 1:17:13SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 1:17:13SPEAKER_21: Okay.
- 1:17:13SPEAKER_23: I'll um yeah, I'll take a look at them like these might be okay.
- 1:17:21SPEAKER_23: I guess I'm a little shopkeeper and he's like alright.
- 1:17:26SPEAKER_21: I do believe that you are not well versed in the excellent craftsmanship of elven leather and armor work.
- 1:17:37SPEAKER_23: Well, I tend to disagree with that, but I guess I did live with the elves for numerous years.
- 1:17:43SPEAKER_21: Oh, well, then one would expect you to know that you are dealing with high craft here.
- 1:17:50SPEAKER_23: Mm-hmm.
- 1:17:50SPEAKER_23: Mm-hmm.
- 1:17:52SPEAKER_23: Well, I don't know, there's a little scratch here.
- 1:17:57SPEAKER_08: Well buying a car.
- 1:18:01SPEAKER_21: I suppose I could knock off a little bit of money if there is a scratch indeed.
- 1:18:07SPEAKER_21: Hopefully that is truthful.
- 1:18:11SPEAKER_23: Well, I guess depends where you're thinking of price, you know.
- 1:18:15SPEAKER_23: Your first comment was to me a little on the high point to say the least, is if not magical in nature, how can you possibly think something's worth that amount of money?
- 1:18:27SPEAKER_19: Well, they were handcrafted by myself, and I set the price.
- 1:18:32SPEAKER_19: So I think they are worth my turn.
- 1:18:35SPEAKER_23: That is fair if it is your old craftsmanship.
- 1:18:37SPEAKER_23: Yes, I can understand that there is some value, there's definitely value to that.
- 1:18:42SPEAKER_23: However, these are not, and a nice item you do happen to have, and I would be interested in these if the price is fair.
- 1:18:52SPEAKER_21: Well, you are looking at a pair of boots that are designed for elves to wear, and they are not made by him.
- 1:19:07SPEAKER_21: So he looks at you and he says, Well, those boots that you have there are a little bit more in your price range, I'm assuming, knowing that your price range is not on the higher end.
- 1:19:19SPEAKER_03: I could let those go for about 500 gold pieces.
- 1:19:24SPEAKER_23: I don't possibly have that sort of money.
- 1:19:28SPEAKER_23: Or is there something that's so special about these that they would be worth that?
- 1:19:34SPEAKER_21: These are boots of Elven kind made for our people to be stealthy, quiet.
- 1:19:43SPEAKER_21: It's how we can get from one place to another without everyone hearing us walk in the tent immediately and start breathing so loudly.
- 1:19:55SPEAKER_23: Really, really is say, well, I am I understand I am not Elvin, however, I am fairly adept at what you speak of, so you must not be talking about me.
- 1:20:12SPEAKER_23: However, I understand where you're coming from.
- 1:20:18SPEAKER_23: I I do get it that maybe my race may say something about me, but unfortunately that is who I am, and I can't help that part.
- 1:20:32SPEAKER_23: But I I I don't know, like if you can't come to an even close to a reasonable price, I don't know why I would even consider this.
- 1:20:40SPEAKER_21: Well, I do believe that the price is very reasonable, and I would only consider selling them to you if you were a serious patron of this tent.
- 1:20:50SPEAKER_21: I have been sequestered by the general to sell my wares here because it aids the war efforts.
- 1:20:58SPEAKER_19: I am not secure of my own design.
- 1:21:02SPEAKER_23: Now apparently we are here to help stand war efforts.
- 1:21:07SPEAKER_19: Oh.
- 1:21:07SPEAKER_23: So maybe that would have some bearing on what uh, you know, as we are trying to save the people here in Silvery Moon.
- 1:21:18SPEAKER_23: Have you heard of us, the Planar Vanguard?
- 1:21:20SPEAKER_21: I have not heard of you.
- 1:21:22SPEAKER_21: No, have you heard of me?
- 1:21:26SPEAKER_23: Very well.
- 1:21:26SPEAKER_21: My name is Phaela Dawncrest.
- 1:21:29SPEAKER_21: Have you heard of me?
- 1:21:30SPEAKER_21: I am well known in the world of Elliott and Well.
- 1:21:34SPEAKER_23: Very true, fair.
- 1:21:35SPEAKER_23: I know.
- 1:21:36SPEAKER_23: I am definitely not.
- 1:21:38SPEAKER_23: However, we have done many things and been uh saving children and helping the land as we go.
- 1:21:46SPEAKER_21: Okay, roll a persuasion check.
- 1:21:47unknown: Sure.
- 1:21:47unknown: Whatever, share with the same nice, but whatever.
- 1:21:51SPEAKER_23: Uh 12.
- 1:21:53SPEAKER_23: I don't think I have any plus.
- 1:21:55SPEAKER_23: What you're not charming?
- 1:21:56SPEAKER_23: You might have another.
- 1:21:57SPEAKER_23: I try the mice.
- 1:21:58SPEAKER_23: Might as well.
- 1:22:02SPEAKER_21: Oh, there you go.
- 1:22:05SPEAKER_21: So he kind of he looks at you and he goes, Oh, um, well, you know, we all are heroes in our own way, I suppose.
- 1:22:13SPEAKER_21: If you find yourself to be a hero, then I am very happy for you.
- 1:22:19SPEAKER_21: However, I cannot budge on the price more than fifty gold pieces.
- 1:22:25SPEAKER_23: Maybe I have something else that may have value to you.
- 1:22:30SPEAKER_21: I would be shocked.
- 1:22:37SPEAKER_08: I mean, you got a shit for free.
- 1:22:40SPEAKER_08: I know.
- 1:22:41SPEAKER_21: You've got a ring.
- 1:22:42SPEAKER_09: Captain Hammer doesn't like him very much.
- 1:22:45SPEAKER_09: I have the ring that opens doors.
- 1:22:47SPEAKER_21: He's just some loud mouth breather that came in and bitched about the prices.
- 1:22:50SPEAKER_21: He's really showing the ring of a tune.
- 1:22:54SPEAKER_10: No, no, he pays for the wing.
- 1:22:56SPEAKER_21: Ooh, the ring of a tune.
- 1:22:58SPEAKER_23: Okay.
- 1:22:59SPEAKER_23: Well, this ring I did procure during my travels.
- 1:23:04SPEAKER_23: It is definitely has a magical nature to it.
- 1:23:06SPEAKER_23: It would be a value to you and help in reducing the price.
- 1:23:10SPEAKER_21: May I see it, please?
- 1:23:12SPEAKER_23: Yeah, I hand it to him.
- 1:23:14SPEAKER_21: Do you mind if I cast identify on this?
- 1:23:18SPEAKER_23: You can do so.
- 1:23:20SPEAKER_23: I don't know the person who I purchased rumd in said nothing of the sort, but uh did I had no way to do such a thing at my time.
- 1:23:28SPEAKER_23: Uh however, I do know it he said it had magical properties to it.
- 1:23:31SPEAKER_03: Oh, I do I believe that, and it is very, very lovely.
- 1:23:35SPEAKER_21: Um, just give me a moment, please.
- 1:23:37SPEAKER_21: And he will just watch him as he cast it, and he is his eyes open, and he just goes massive side eye.
- 1:23:52SPEAKER_10: Well, you did know, but also you don't know magic, so you could.
- 1:23:56SPEAKER_21: No, exactly.
- 1:23:57SPEAKER_21: For sure.
- 1:23:58SPEAKER_21: You're yeah, in your mind this is, but in you have just you have just tried to he thinks you just tried to pull a fast one out of him.
- 1:24:04SPEAKER_21: It's just like listen.
- 1:24:08SPEAKER_21: I don't know if you know what this ring is, but it is as good to wear as to not wear.
- 1:24:17SPEAKER_23: Really?
- 1:24:18SPEAKER_21: Yes.
- 1:24:20SPEAKER_03: I highly recommend you save it and give it to your sweetie.
- 1:24:27unknown: Okay.
- 1:24:27SPEAKER_23: Well, I just look sheepish, obviously.
- 1:24:31SPEAKER_23: I guess I never really had it looked at.
- 1:24:33SPEAKER_21: If you don't know what it does, basically, if you attune to it and have it as on your person, it will give you an extra item to attune to, but it does require you to attune to it.
- 1:24:46SPEAKER_23: What does attune mean?
- 1:24:48SPEAKER_23: Oh my god.
- 1:24:50SPEAKER_03: Never mind.
- 1:24:55SPEAKER_10: This is what Delphine deals with.
- 1:24:58SPEAKER_23: Well, I will go talk to my fellow members of the Planar Vanguard to see if what you say is is reasonable and potentially I might be able to come back with that sort of money.
- 1:25:14SPEAKER_23: However, that is an awful lot of money.
- 1:25:16SPEAKER_03: Well, I uh wait with baited breath for your return.
- 1:25:20SPEAKER_23: Okay, I guess I'm gonna we can go see if I can find other people.
- 1:25:23SPEAKER_21: Okay.
- 1:25:24SPEAKER_21: You walk out or at the campfire.
- 1:25:26SPEAKER_21: And they are like they're yeah, they're right in the main area, and yeah, that was the best interaction that I've ever had.
- 1:25:34SPEAKER_14: Where were you at the armor or is that?
- 1:25:38SPEAKER_22: So is that tree actually outside of the compound like above some map?
- 1:25:43SPEAKER_22: Um you come out and you hang out in the courtyard outside, and the gate goes, the fence goes around.
- 1:25:51SPEAKER_22: It doesn't encase the tree.
- 1:25:52SPEAKER_22: The tree seems to be outside.
- 1:25:53SPEAKER_22: No, that that that gate is just very increased.
- 1:25:56SPEAKER_21: That gate is just very small, and it just keeps people, you can step over it.
- 1:25:59SPEAKER_21: It's just there to keep people from coming in, like trampling in the horses trampling.
- 1:26:04SPEAKER_22: Does it imply that we would see these people with glowing eyes in the area around the silvery moon?
- 1:26:09SPEAKER_22: In silvery moon.
- 1:26:10SPEAKER_09: I've encountered them in their forays, attempting to enter the city.
- 1:26:13unknown: Okay.
- 1:26:14SPEAKER_08: In the forest, so it has been around the city and in the city.
- 1:26:17SPEAKER_08: No, in the city.
- 1:26:18SPEAKER_08: They were trying to get into the city.
- 1:26:19SPEAKER_08: The people with the glowing eyes are in the city.
- 1:26:22SPEAKER_21: The city is inside the walls of the silvery moon.
- 1:26:25SPEAKER_21: The camp is inside the gates of the encampment, and the tree is within a small fence inside the encampment moon.
- 1:26:30SPEAKER_21: They are in silvery moon.
- 1:26:31SPEAKER_21: And the camp is not in Silvery Moon.
- 1:26:34SPEAKER_09: The people glowing eyes are in Silvery Moon.
- 1:26:38SPEAKER_21: Okay.
- 1:26:40SPEAKER_21: This is a lot of information that I gave you guys, so it's I get confusing.
- 1:26:46SPEAKER_09: We're at the fire?
- 1:26:47SPEAKER_21: You're at the fire, and you're talking to the girl.
- 1:26:49SPEAKER_21: She looks up and she gives you a smile.
- 1:26:52SPEAKER_03: Hello.

- 1:28:02SPEAKER_03: Hi.
- 1:28:03SPEAKER_03: Welcome to our encampment.
- 1:28:05SPEAKER_09: It was we were told that perhaps you might know of a way or where we could procure any magical scrolls.
- 1:28:13SPEAKER_09: I do.
- 1:28:13SPEAKER_09: The general is hoping we will be part of a strike team to enter the city.
- 1:28:18SPEAKER_03: I do have some.
- 1:28:19SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 1:28:19SPEAKER_03: I keep I do keep a small collection in my tent for emergencies, of course.
- 1:28:23SPEAKER_09: Are they all c arcane?
- 1:28:24SPEAKER_09: Are there some clerical scrolls?
- 1:28:26SPEAKER_21: Uh there are a lot.
- 1:28:29SPEAKER_21: I would have to take a quick look.
- 1:28:30SPEAKER_21: What are you looking for specifically?
- 1:28:32SPEAKER_09: Well, she would like to know if there's any um rivivify or gentle repose, as you know it's very dangerous where we're going.
- 1:28:39SPEAKER_21: Yes.
- 1:28:40SPEAKER_09: Never have too many safety methods.
- 1:28:42SPEAKER_21: You will not be able to use these scrolls inside the barrier.
- 1:28:46SPEAKER_21: You are aware of this.
- 1:28:48SPEAKER_09: We're hoping that if it comes to it, we can get outside the barrier to use the scrolls without depleting our resources.
- 1:28:55SPEAKER_21: This is the tactic that we have been resorted to.
- 1:28:57SPEAKER_21: Yes, of course.
- 1:28:58SPEAKER_21: I do have two uh gentle pose spell scrolls.
- 1:29:02SPEAKER_21: Um and uh one revival.
- 1:29:05SPEAKER_09: Excellent.
- 1:29:05SPEAKER_09: What would you like in compensation?
- 1:29:07SPEAKER_21: Oh, um you are obviously of the noble blood.
- 1:29:12SPEAKER_21: I would never never dream of taking anything from you.
- 1:29:16SPEAKER_21: Please let me just go and fetch them.
- 1:29:18SPEAKER_21: Is there anything else?
- 1:29:19SPEAKER_05: Um kind of oh no, I won't ask you about that.

- 1:29:31SPEAKER_05: Yes.

- 1:29:37SPEAKER_03: Oh, yes.
- 1:29:39SPEAKER_03: He's an interesting one.
- 1:29:40SPEAKER_03: But very, very small.
- 1:29:42SPEAKER_06: I didn't catch it.
- 1:29:47SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I was gonna ask me.
- 1:29:51SPEAKER_09: Of course I'm asking names.
- 1:29:53SPEAKER_21: Yeah, that's right.

- 1:29:58SPEAKER_21: She referred to him, obviously, of uh Thalen.

- 1:30:07unknown: Okay.
- 1:30:09SPEAKER_09: Uh and where does he usually um he has a tent in the I thought you were with Einar?
- 1:30:17SPEAKER_09: I just want to speak with him a lot.

- 1:30:24SPEAKER_21: He's got his own little tent.
- 1:30:27SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 1:30:29SPEAKER_09: I just I have questions.
- 1:30:31SPEAKER_09: Do you have any protective scrolls?
- 1:30:34SPEAKER_09: Um one might use like any extra shield scrolls or anything like that.
- 1:30:40SPEAKER_21: Shield?
- 1:30:41SPEAKER_09: Um I know it's a very minor spell, but yes, I mean I have a shield scroll.
- 1:30:45SPEAKER_21: You have it right here, actually.
- 1:30:47SPEAKER_21: Um take it now, and I'm gonna go fetch you the other ones.
- 1:30:50SPEAKER_09: Okay, okay, thank you.

- 1:30:55SPEAKER_21: Okay, uh, roll me a D20, please.
- 1:31:02SPEAKER_19: Or uh she does not find anything else.

- 1:31:09SPEAKER_09: And I hand it to Oleander.
- 1:31:12SPEAKER_09: Oh.
- 1:31:17SPEAKER_09: I find this incredibly useful.
- 1:31:19SPEAKER_09: There may come a time you might find you need to very suddenly increase your not hit ability.
- 1:31:30SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I just it's a one-time use, but you have it.
- 1:31:34SPEAKER_05: Okay, thank you.
- 1:31:36SPEAKER_05: I feel like I'm squishy enough that it doesn't matter if I try and address it.
- 1:31:42SPEAKER_09: You know, no.
- 1:31:43SPEAKER_09: It is five.
- 1:31:45SPEAKER_21: So she just leaves to come back, she hands you the scrolls that you're requesting.

- 1:32:16SPEAKER_05: And I don't try and grab her fire this way.
- 1:32:20SPEAKER_21: Okay, you're in the mess hall.
- 1:32:23SPEAKER_21: Um, it's pretty noisy in there.
- 1:32:25SPEAKER_21: Everyone's kind of eating, um, but it's like the noise is just more than what you would have outside.
- 1:32:30SPEAKER_21: But everyone is like very polite, everyone's sitting, eating very daintily with their uh the utensils, and it's like a lot of um a lot of food, but not a lot of food on their plates, just very little portions.
- 1:32:43SPEAKER_21: And you know, you're sitting there and you've got this plate and it's just piled up, and everyone's just kind of like big boy.
- 1:32:49SPEAKER_21: Everyone's just kind of like looking at you on the side and like.
- 1:33:08SPEAKER_21: You can kind of you kind of finish eating and you're sit back and you're feeling good and relaxed.
- 1:33:12SPEAKER_02: I use a fork and I know not a complete animal in there.
- 1:33:17SPEAKER_21: Yep.
- 1:33:18SPEAKER_02: Um I'll walk up to the like so I'm assuming there's like a bartender or like somebody, and I'll see what they have for like drinks, and I'll speak to him in Elvish.
- 1:33:30SPEAKER_02: Oh, because I can't.
- 1:33:36SPEAKER_02: Okay, uh, respectful, you know.
- 1:33:38SPEAKER_02: I'm in an elven elven cabinet.
- 1:33:40SPEAKER_21: Yep.
- 1:33:40SPEAKER_02: So I'll ask him what uh his like the finest beer that he would have or drink, perhaps.
- 1:33:48SPEAKER_21: Uh, he just turns to you and he kind of goes, Oh, hello, good sir.
- 1:33:52SPEAKER_21: Welcome to our tent.
- 1:33:53SPEAKER_21: Um, I see that you have already eaten.
- 1:33:56SPEAKER_20: Yes.
- 1:33:57SPEAKER_21: What's the food?
- 1:33:58SPEAKER_21: Uh that's what I wanted to hear.
- 1:34:00SPEAKER_21: Good, I'm glad.
- 1:34:01SPEAKER_21: Uh a drink you've asked me for.
- 1:34:03SPEAKER_21: Yes.
- 1:34:03SPEAKER_21: Well, um, your elvish is very good.
- 1:34:06SPEAKER_21: Where did you learn it?
- 1:34:08SPEAKER_02: To be all honest with you, I've just known it since I was a kid, and it's I don't know much about my history, so well.
- 1:34:17SPEAKER_21: I also have known Elvish since I was a kid.
- 1:34:19SPEAKER_02: I bet you have.
- 1:34:22SPEAKER_21: You look like you're thirsty.
- 1:34:24SPEAKER_21: I have Elven ale.
- 1:34:26SPEAKER_21: Have you ever tried it?
- 1:34:27SPEAKER_02: I have not.
- 1:34:28SPEAKER_21: Please let this one be on me.
- 1:34:30SPEAKER_21: And he turns around and he pulls this big pint and he puts it on the counter and he kind of looks at it, and he just a moment, and he pulls it back and he goes underneath, and he pulls up what looks to be like a like a flower vase.
- 1:34:44SPEAKER_21: And he's like, I do believe that this is probably more appropriate for you.
- 1:34:47SPEAKER_21: And he just dumps the ale in there, and then he takes it back over to the keg and he just starts drafting it, and he's holding it, and as he's holding it, it's getting heavier and heavier, and he's like, Oh, like a little help.
- 1:34:58SPEAKER_21: No, no, I'm I'm fine, I'm fine.
- 1:35:01SPEAKER_21: And then he shuts it off and puts it on, and he's like, There you are, I hope that's enough for you.
- 1:35:08SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
- 1:35:09SPEAKER_02: And I will tip him five core.
- 1:35:11SPEAKER_21: Oh, thank you very much.
- 1:35:13SPEAKER_21: Not necessary, but much better.
- 1:35:15SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
- 1:35:16SPEAKER_02: And then I will pick it up easily and close again.
- 1:35:20SPEAKER_21: Yep.
- 1:35:20SPEAKER_21: And again, all eyes are on you.
- 1:35:22SPEAKER_02: Everyone's just like, the size of that thing.
- 1:35:26SPEAKER_02: Holy, where does he put it all?
- 1:35:28SPEAKER_02: And I'll look around and I'll see who has the same drink, and I'll ask them if they want to top up as I walk by.
- 1:35:35SPEAKER_21: And as everyone walks by, they're kind of like, oh no, no, no, please enjoy.
- 1:35:41SPEAKER_10: I just want to see you drink it.
- 1:35:42SPEAKER_10: You're like a circus actor.
- 1:35:43SPEAKER_10: Oh, totally.
- 1:35:44SPEAKER_10: 100%.
- 1:35:45SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:35:46SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 1:35:46SPEAKER_02: Well, then I'll sit down and I'll start drinking.
- 1:35:48SPEAKER_02: But obviously, not fast.
- 1:35:49SPEAKER_02: I'll just take my time while drinking while I'm hanging out.
- 1:35:52SPEAKER_21: And as you're drinking, uh the tab the tent flaps open up, and uh Salin Dusquick walks in the big, tall, demolitions guy.
- 1:36:00SPEAKER_21: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:36:01SPEAKER_21: Short, short elf, shorter than you.
- 1:36:04SPEAKER_21: And he kind of sees you and he gives you a nod, and he's like, I didn't know that those were an option.
- 1:36:18SPEAKER_02: If you get one, you can have a seat.
- 1:36:21SPEAKER_21: And he goes, and you see, you watch him as he goes, thank you.
- 1:36:25SPEAKER_21: And he walks over to the bartender, and you can just see there's like a muted conversation with the two of them, and you just see him doing.
- 1:36:36SPEAKER_21: And the bartender, the bartender just kind of hangs his head and goes, one minute, and he goes to the back and comes back, and he's got a vase that looks different than yours, but it's the same kind of size, and he's just like, We're gonna run out of these, right?
- 1:36:51SPEAKER_21: And he pulls him a draft and Talen takes it, and he comes over and he sits down next to you, or sits across from you on the table and just goes, plunks it on.
- 1:36:59SPEAKER_21: And he looks at your pint that you've drank in like maybe I'd say a sixteenth of it, and he just goes, And he drinks at a level down lower than what yours is in the glass and puts it on the table.
- 1:37:12SPEAKER_02: So it's gonna be one of these nights.
- 1:37:16SPEAKER_02: I can see what's going on now.
- 1:37:19SPEAKER_02: You would have a blast right now, and then I'll look at that, and I'll have start drink contest with him.
- 1:37:24SPEAKER_01: Why not?
- 1:37:25SPEAKER_21: Okay, and he he watches you drink it.
- 1:37:28SPEAKER_21: He watches you drink it and take it to about half.
- 1:37:32SPEAKER_21: And he picks it up.
- 1:37:34SPEAKER_21: Give me a dice.
- 1:37:35SPEAKER_21: Can I have one of your d20s, please?
- 1:37:36SPEAKER_22: Well, here's an ease one and get it.
- 1:37:38SPEAKER_21: All right.
- 1:37:40SPEAKER_21: So this D20, uh 20 is gonna be the percentage that he's gonna be able to drink of what's remaining.
- 1:37:47SPEAKER_21: Before he passes, before he passes before, well before he before he gags it, it has to like come up right here.
- 1:37:52SPEAKER_21: Yeah right?
- 1:37:53SPEAKER_21: So uh you're sitting at about half, so we'll call that.
- 1:37:58SPEAKER_21: That's what we're gonna do from now on.
- 1:37:59SPEAKER_21: So he's gonna drink it down, he's gonna drink it down to about half.
- 1:38:02SPEAKER_21: Now there's half of this giant pint left.
- 1:38:04SPEAKER_21: You're both feeling pretty full.
- 1:38:06SPEAKER_21: A 20 is the entire amount.
- 1:38:08SPEAKER_21: Anything below that is gonna be the percentage of left, and we're gonna add that up to 20.
- 1:38:15SPEAKER_21: So the first one of you and me to get to 20 finishes the pint first, and we roll three consecutive rolls.
- 1:38:23SPEAKER_21: Okay.
- 1:38:23SPEAKER_21: First one to get to 20 wins.
- 1:38:25SPEAKER_21: Ready?
- 1:38:25SPEAKER_21: Cool.
- 1:38:25SPEAKER_21: So we'll roll at the same time.
- 1:38:27SPEAKER_21: Ready?
- 1:38:27SPEAKER_21: So you look at you, he looks at you straight in the eye and he's like, I'm back.
- 1:38:33SPEAKER_21: I got a two.
- 1:38:33SPEAKER_21: I got a ten.
- 1:38:34SPEAKER_21: I got a three.
- 1:38:34SPEAKER_21: So you get a ten and a three.
- 1:38:35SPEAKER_21: So you drink yours down.
- 1:38:37SPEAKER_21: He only gets a little bit in, he goes, and he struggles.
- 1:38:40SPEAKER_21: Let's go again.
- 1:38:42SPEAKER_21: 14.
- 1:38:43SPEAKER_21: So you're at 17, I'm at 14.
- 1:38:46SPEAKER_21: All right, whoever gets the highest.
- 1:38:47SPEAKER_09: Six, fifteen, nineteen, and then over, right?
- 1:38:52SPEAKER_21: Yes.
- 1:38:52SPEAKER_09: So you're 23?
- 1:38:53SPEAKER_21: You're 23.
- 1:38:55SPEAKER_21: And I was I'm at 29.
- 1:38:58SPEAKER_21: Because I had uh 14, and then I just rolled a 15.
- 1:39:02SPEAKER_09: Oh, you rolled a 15.
- 1:39:03SPEAKER_21: So I'm at I'm at night twenty-nine.
- 1:39:04SPEAKER_21: So he he piles it down and he finishes just before you.
- 1:39:08SPEAKER_21: Both of you finish your pints, but he and then you shortly after puts it down and he just kind of goes, so you're here to save the realm, are you?
- 1:39:22SPEAKER_02: We will try.
- 1:39:25SPEAKER_02: We're here to help you guys out as much as you guys need, and we will work together to get this going.
- 1:39:32SPEAKER_21: Do you have any experience with explosives?
- 1:39:35SPEAKER_02: No.
- 1:39:36SPEAKER_02: But will I learn?
- 1:39:37SPEAKER_02: Absolutely.
- 1:39:38SPEAKER_21: Uh you are my kind of guy.
- 1:39:42SPEAKER_21: Come! Round two.
- 1:39:44unknown: Oh.
- 1:39:47SPEAKER_07: He was about to invite you.
- 1:39:48SPEAKER_10: Let's go.
- 1:39:50SPEAKER_10: He picks up both your pints.
- 1:39:52SPEAKER_10: Can only mean explosives are better.
- 1:39:54SPEAKER_21: He picks up both of both of your pine glasses and goes over and gets them to fill it up.
- 1:39:57SPEAKER_21: And the bartender, you can see the guy in the muted conversation, the bartender's like, no, no.
- 1:40:02SPEAKER_21: And you just see him pull out this big coin purse and go and smack it down on the counter.
- 1:40:08SPEAKER_21: And then the bartender just goes, goes behind the curtain, comes out, and he's got a big keg.
- 1:40:18SPEAKER_21: Puts the keg down, taps the keg, fills both of the things, and Thalon picks them both up, walks over, jolly is like, All right, puts them in front of you, and we'll go one more time.
- 1:40:28SPEAKER_21: Ready?
- 1:40:29SPEAKER_07: We need constitution savings happens.
- 1:40:32SPEAKER_21: 16.
- 1:40:33SPEAKER_21: Five.
- 1:40:36SPEAKER_04: Seven.
- 1:40:37SPEAKER_21: Twenty-one.
- 1:40:38SPEAKER_21: So he downs his and you're three-quarters of the way down, and he slams it on the ground, slams on the table, and you've got you've still got about maybe an eighth.
- 1:40:48SPEAKER_10: He is way older than you.
- 1:40:49SPEAKER_21: An eighth of your drink left, and he goes, You know, I remember my first drinking contest, and it was it was tough to win, but you you did good.
- 1:41:01SPEAKER_21: You did good, lad.
- 1:41:02SPEAKER_21: Come, finish your drink, and I want to show you something.
- 1:41:05SPEAKER_02: Rule 17.
- 1:41:06SPEAKER_02: God.
- 1:41:07SPEAKER_21: Down it goes.
- 1:41:08SPEAKER_21: Um, I'm gonna get you to make a constitution saving throw when you get it from the table.
- 1:41:12SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:41:14SPEAKER_21: Elven ale is very strong.
- 1:41:16SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 1:41:27SPEAKER_21: You are shittered.
- 1:41:29SPEAKER_21: 100%.
- 1:41:30SPEAKER_21: Those are big beards.
- 1:41:31SPEAKER_21: You are piled.
- 1:41:32SPEAKER_21: And so you you get up, and immediately as you get up, you just kind of go, oh, and you fall down.
- 1:41:36SPEAKER_02: I pull I pull uh dazed and confused.
- 1:41:38SPEAKER_02: Then I sit back down in my chair like he does in the truck.
- 1:41:42SPEAKER_21: And uh I'll need a minute.
- 1:41:47SPEAKER_21: All right.
- 1:41:47SPEAKER_21: Give me 30 seconds, and that's rock and roll.
- 1:41:50SPEAKER_21: Right.
- 1:41:50SPEAKER_21: Okay.
- 1:41:51SPEAKER_21: 30 seconds goes by, and you get back up this time, he tries to help you up and you get you on your feet, and uh he takes you out into the uh yard, and he's like, I've been working on something that I haven't had the chance to show anybody yet, but I think you just might be the right guy.
- 1:42:07SPEAKER_21: What do you got?
- 1:42:08SPEAKER_21: I have been working on directional explosions, fine-tuning my bombs so that they only blow up in one direction.
- 1:42:17SPEAKER_21: They are they are amazing for using in hallways or setting up as doorway traps, but I haven't been able to get them stable enough to be carried around yet.
- 1:42:30SPEAKER_21: So if I put them on my belts, last time I put them on there, I tried to walk through the yard.
- 1:42:34SPEAKER_21: I misstep and stepped on a stone, and I blew the wall out of one of the the um gates.
- 1:42:40SPEAKER_21: And so uh, and it also gave me this bruise.
- 1:42:43SPEAKER_21: And he shows you um, he shows you kind of this like cool chest that he's got over in the yard.
- 1:42:49SPEAKER_21: And as soon as he walks into the the sparring area where all the fighters are, they all see him, and you just hear them, you hear one of them go, oh um, you guys, whisper boom is here.
- 1:42:59SPEAKER_21: We should probably, we should probably go.
- 1:43:01SPEAKER_21: He might hurt somebody.
- 1:43:02SPEAKER_21: And uh they all kind of they they all kind of cower out of there and he just kind of clomps through the middle of the yard, goes over to his chest, and he kicks the top of the chest and it opens up and he pulls out these two cool looking um, they're like uh they look like they almost look like D12s, right?
- 1:43:18SPEAKER_21: But he's like, so the way these work is you have to open up one of these compartments, so one of the flat compartments there that you would see on a D12.
- 1:43:27SPEAKER_21: Whatever direction you want the explosion to go, you open up the compartment, light the fuse, and the the direction will be that that way the explosion will go.
- 1:43:35SPEAKER_21: And it's roughly around a uh 30-foot uh straight line of an explosion.
- 1:43:41SPEAKER_21: So it'd be like casting fireball or not casting fire, casting fireball, having a bomb go off or a piece of TNT go off, but you can direct the blast.
- 1:43:48SPEAKER_21: And he's like, I haven't found a way to stabilize these yet, but as soon as I can, um I would love to give you some to try out in the battlefield and you can.
- 1:43:59SPEAKER_21: They're completely unstable.
- 1:44:00SPEAKER_21: You you take one wrong step, you bump into something, they explode.
- 1:44:04SPEAKER_21: I need to find a way to stabilize these.
- 1:44:06SPEAKER_02: Do you have like an engineer around here?
- 1:44:11SPEAKER_02: I might have an idea.
- 1:44:13SPEAKER_21: Yeah, I'm sure we could.
- 1:44:14SPEAKER_21: I mean, I dabbled in it myself.
- 1:44:16SPEAKER_21: What's your idea?
- 1:44:17SPEAKER_02: Almost like a um, what is it called, where you put it on and it has different rings, so when you move it this way, it all stays straight, but it has different rings so it stays in one direction.
- 1:44:29SPEAKER_02: But if you turn it this way, it moves with it like a gyroscope.
- 1:44:34SPEAKER_21: Roll me a what skill would this be?
- 1:44:39SPEAKER_21: Can this use squishy?
- 1:44:40SPEAKER_21: Absolutely.
- 1:44:42SPEAKER_21: Uh survival?
- 1:44:44SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 1:44:44SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 1:44:44SPEAKER_21: Uh yeah.
- 1:44:45SPEAKER_21: Uh or maybe plate of hand?
- 1:44:48unknown: No.
- 1:44:49SPEAKER_21: No.
- 1:44:49SPEAKER_09: Trying to manufacture something?
- 1:44:50SPEAKER_09: Manufacturing something.
- 1:44:52SPEAKER_09: Uh intelligence, not in.
- 1:44:54SPEAKER_21: Just roll me a straight intelligence checklist.
- 1:44:57SPEAKER_21: That's gonna be amazing for this guy.
- 1:45:01unknown: Ten.
- 1:45:01SPEAKER_21: Ten?
- 1:45:02SPEAKER_21: It's pretty good because it's a good idea.
- 1:45:05SPEAKER_21: It's pretty good.
- 1:45:06SPEAKER_21: So and so you you kind of like fumble through the description, and he's trying to like follow you a little bit because it's tough, and he's like, oh, you're okay.
- 1:45:13SPEAKER_21: Yeah, you're both really drunk, and you're like, yeah, you're falling all over the place.
- 1:45:16SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 1:45:16SPEAKER_08: And uh that's why he can describe it so well.
- 1:45:19SPEAKER_08: Oh, it's all like it makes you wobbly, but not.
- 1:45:24SPEAKER_21: So he goes and he comes back and he's got all these tools, and he's trying to like put them all together, and he's trying to use whatever your idea is, and I'll get you to uh roll a s a sleight of hand check to see if you're able to help him without blowing one of them up.
- 1:45:40SPEAKER_21: Nineteen.
- 1:45:41SPEAKER_21: Nineteen?
- 1:45:42SPEAKER_21: Wow, so for some reason you're like extremely sturdy.
- 1:45:47SPEAKER_02: Well, it's right.
- 1:45:49SPEAKER_02: It's the moment of I have a bomb in my hand.
- 1:45:51SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:45:52SPEAKER_21: And uh between the two of you, you're able to fasten these cool little gyroscopic holders for these bombs.
- 1:45:58SPEAKER_21: And you take it, and he's holding one, and you're holding one, and he's like, Do you want to test it?
- 1:46:08SPEAKER_21: I'll do it.
- 1:46:09SPEAKER_21: Right.
- 1:46:10SPEAKER_21: You go ten paces that way.
- 1:46:13unknown: Okay.
- 1:46:13SPEAKER_02: And I'll walk ten paces that way.
- 1:46:16SPEAKER_09: Your paces or his paces?
- 1:46:17SPEAKER_02: Well, we're almost the same height.
- 1:46:18SPEAKER_02: So we're almost the same.
- 1:46:20SPEAKER_02: My 10 paces is a little bit longer.
- 1:46:21SPEAKER_02: That's okay.
- 1:46:22SPEAKER_21: So he kind of looks at you and he and he's like, Are you ready?
- 1:46:25SPEAKER_21: Go.
- 1:46:26SPEAKER_21: Catch.
- 1:46:26SPEAKER_21: And he throws it up in the air at you.
- 1:46:28SPEAKER_21: And I catch it.
- 1:46:29SPEAKER_21: Oh, you gotta make sure you catch it and roll a dexterity check.
- 1:46:32SPEAKER_21: Dexterity check, okay.
- 1:46:33SPEAKER_08: This is my new fail.
- 1:46:35SPEAKER_08: Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- 1:46:36SPEAKER_08: 17.
- 1:46:37SPEAKER_08: 17.
- 1:46:38SPEAKER_21: You're like, oh, you catch it, and it just kind of bounces on the inside and touches the walls and spins with it, and you're like.
- 1:46:44SPEAKER_09: I just want to say this is totally something two drunk dudes would do.
- 1:46:49SPEAKER_21: And he's like, oh.
- 1:46:51SPEAKER_02: It works.
- 1:46:52SPEAKER_02: Throw it back, throw it back.
- 1:46:54SPEAKER_02: And I toss it back to him.
- 1:46:58SPEAKER_02: Six.
- 1:47:00SPEAKER_02: Oh no!
- 1:47:01SPEAKER_21: And so he's like, it comes to him and he goes, whoa! And it is like he threw it and it just came out of a little too quick, and he goes, and he drunk and he steps to the side and it smacks into the gate on the uh fence that covers the fighting area in the barracks.
- 1:47:16SPEAKER_21: And the way it lands, it blows up, but it blows straight down and shoots it up in the air like a rocket.
- 1:47:21SPEAKER_21: And you both are sitting there and you hear this.
- 1:47:24SPEAKER_21: We both are both looking straight up, and everybody in the camp stops and just sees you and Thalen standing there looking straight up, and he turns to you and he goes, Run! And you both run in opposite directions, and he trips and falls over the fence, and you fucking fall into the like the axes, and the whole thing falls down.
- 1:47:44SPEAKER_21: Yeah, and you fall down too.
- 1:47:45SPEAKER_21: The axes all fall down, it rolls into the dummies, go fall down.
- 1:47:51SPEAKER_21: And then everything kind of settles and everything's quiet, and then you hear the and this bomb lands in the center and blows up again, and sends this, it just sends debris and dirt, and now there's this little tiny like crater in the middle of the battlefield, and you all you can hear coming from the other side where Phalan fell over the uh the the fence is here.
- 1:48:25SPEAKER_09: That was your stepbrother's moment.
- 1:48:26SPEAKER_09: We just become best friends, y'all.
- 1:48:28SPEAKER_22: So this explosion all took place in the training area.
- 1:48:31SPEAKER_21: Yeah, in that little training area.
- 1:48:33SPEAKER_21: Yeah, yeah, everybody.
- 1:48:33SPEAKER_14: So like we all saw that.
- 1:48:36SPEAKER_21: Yeah, you all saw that.
- 1:48:38SPEAKER_22: I'm like literally be like, my character comes hopping over the fence.
- 1:48:42SPEAKER_22: Doesn't matter how tall it is, I make it to see this because I'm sitting at the tree peacefully when there's an explosion in the yard beside me going up in the air.
- 1:48:51SPEAKER_22: And it's tightly excured by the fence that goes around the tree.
- 1:48:53SPEAKER_22: So you might come out of the secret tree yard with a like just ten foot hopping around, but ready for combat, and I see Drunken and him running in opposite directions.
- 1:49:01SPEAKER_22: Watch the scene.
- 1:49:02SPEAKER_09: Delphine's like, please don't be my people, please don't be my people, comes up.
- 1:49:05SPEAKER_09: Doesn't see either of you.
- 1:49:06SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 1:49:06SPEAKER_21: Okay.
- 1:49:09SPEAKER_21: All you see, all you see here is is uh all this debris all over the place.
- 1:49:13SPEAKER_21: A big crater in the middle.
- 1:49:14SPEAKER_08: Those were not my monkeys.
- 1:49:15SPEAKER_21: You see a you see a broken part of the fence with two feet sticking up in the air, and then you can see Drukins like he's like holding his legs.
- 1:49:24SPEAKER_21: One leg's kind of over the dummy, and he's kind of lying there, and he's just oh turns out might be one of our monkeys.
- 1:49:35SPEAKER_09: You know, I expect it from certain monkeys, not that monkey.
- 1:49:39SPEAKER_09: You expected it from me.
- 1:49:40SPEAKER_09: Standing on the path just down the path.
- 1:49:42SPEAKER_09: I mean, yeah, it's actually.
- 1:49:43SPEAKER_21: However, you are still holding the unexploded directional bomb that he made.
- 1:49:47SPEAKER_21: And I'm looking at it going, it works.
- 1:49:50SPEAKER_21: And you can add that to your inventory that's yours now.
- 1:49:52SPEAKER_21: Nice.
- 1:49:53SPEAKER_21: It works.
- 1:49:54SPEAKER_09: Well, I don't need to do any more shopping, I feel.
- 1:49:57SPEAKER_09: So I want to go.
- 1:49:58SPEAKER_09: That was awesome.
- 1:50:00SPEAKER_09: I thought of something else to ask my uncle, but do you want to go somewhere?
- 1:50:04SPEAKER_09: Do you need to do anything?
- 1:50:05SPEAKER_07: I wanted to talk to that drunk man and uh don't think he's gonna do any talking for a while.
- 1:50:10SPEAKER_09: That'll sleep it off.
- 1:50:11SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
- 1:50:12SPEAKER_07: I'll uh I'll come back for a while.
- 1:50:14SPEAKER_02: I'm surprised that you don't say anything about me.
- 1:50:16SPEAKER_07: Oh, you're still conscious.
- 1:50:18SPEAKER_07: I mean you're curious.
- 1:50:22SPEAKER_08: I'll go try and pick up the.
- 1:50:24SPEAKER_08: I'm not drunken.
- 1:50:25SPEAKER_02: I am I am still laying on the ground, but it's like I'll let you take care of him.
- 1:50:29SPEAKER_09: I don't think he wants to hear what I have to say right now.
- 1:50:31SPEAKER_09: I'll go take care of him again real quick and I'll come find you guys.
- 1:50:34SPEAKER_09: I just have a very quick thing to ask.
- 1:50:36SPEAKER_12: Okay.
- 1:50:37unknown: Yeah.
- 1:50:37SPEAKER_07: With with uh Oleander trying to help Drew enough, it's like a little kid trying to help up the granddad, you know, it's just like significantly larger, like a five-year-old trying to help up an adult.
- 1:50:48SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we want to help help enough.
- 1:50:50SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 1:50:51SPEAKER_21: So as you guys are all standing there, then obviously, like most of the camp comes over to see what's going on, and they're picking up uh Thalen and then they're you can hear the whispers, whisper boom at it again.
- 1:51:02SPEAKER_21: And then uh you see your uncle kind of comes up and sees what's going on, and he goes, And he turns to walk back to his tent.
- 1:51:14SPEAKER_10: I like to think you drunkenly say that really loudly.
- 1:51:18SPEAKER_21: He just kind of like looks up and he's like, I'm pretty stomping.
- 1:51:24SPEAKER_07: You haven't seen your control, this is great.
- 1:51:26SPEAKER_07: I like to think that drinking hair actually looks like your instance right now.
- 1:51:30SPEAKER_21: I mean that it's a little like burnt, like a little shorter, a little singed, yeah.
- 1:51:41SPEAKER_21: Okay, is your uncle is walking back to the I go catch him?
- 1:51:46SPEAKER_09: I had to ask you something, something else that I was not in a good frame of mind.
- 1:51:54SPEAKER_09: But have you seen any of the sisters here?
- 1:51:58SPEAKER_09: Do you know if one of them is here?
- 1:51:59SPEAKER_09: I had a theory that there was more than one.
- 1:52:02SPEAKER_09: There was a camp outside Crystalborough where the sister Zahara was working with an orc tribe, and I had a theory that each sister had their own camp.
- 1:52:14SPEAKER_21: That's a good theory.
- 1:52:15SPEAKER_21: I I've not yet investigated that.
- 1:52:18SPEAKER_21: I do know that the orc encampment that invaded the city came from between where we are and the city.
- 1:52:27SPEAKER_21: So there is an area where they were all encamped, and now they've it's obviously torn down and is inside the city.
- 1:52:33SPEAKER_21: But um, I have not seen anything yet.
- 1:52:36SPEAKER_09: We don't know if one of the sisters are here.
- 1:52:38SPEAKER_21: Not to my knowledge.
- 1:52:40SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 1:52:41SPEAKER_21: But that's disturbing.
- 1:52:46SPEAKER_09: We've encountered two of them.
- 1:52:51SPEAKER_21: Did you vanquish them?
- 1:52:53SPEAKER_09: No.
- 1:52:53SPEAKER_09: Almost, one of them, Zahara.
- 1:52:55SPEAKER_09: We almost she fled.
- 1:52:57SPEAKER_09: Drushana, we only fought a shade of her.
- 1:53:02SPEAKER_21: Your knowledge on this is gonna be very valuable to me because I have not seen or heard any of these yet.
- 1:53:08SPEAKER_21: But I will send you whatever aid I can.
- 1:53:11SPEAKER_21: Have you been able to find what you need within the encampment?
- 1:53:14SPEAKER_09: I think that my my immediate magical needs are done.
- 1:53:18SPEAKER_09: I don't know if anyone else has more mundane needs.
- 1:53:21SPEAKER_21: Okay, well, you have but to mention my name and that you are here under my guise.
- 1:53:26SPEAKER_09: Oh, I have.
- 1:53:27SPEAKER_21: Oh, good.
- 1:53:28SPEAKER_21: I know how it works.
- 1:53:29SPEAKER_21: Well, you're also your mother's daughter.
- 1:53:31SPEAKER_09: Mm-hmm.
- 1:53:32SPEAKER_09: She's good with her money.
- 1:53:33SPEAKER_21: Uh is there anything else?
- 1:53:36SPEAKER_21: Are we alone?
- 1:53:37SPEAKER_21: You guys are kind of just walking arm in arm.
- 1:53:39SPEAKER_21: No one's really paying attention to you.
- 1:53:40SPEAKER_21: Not arm in arm, but you're sorry, next to each other is what I meant.
- 1:53:43SPEAKER_09: Well, she does have a pressing question.
- 1:53:44SPEAKER_09: She doesn't know when she's gonna be able to ask it otherwise.
- 1:53:46SPEAKER_09: So she's gonna kind of try and pull them to, I don't know, like an alhoe where there's like no one immediately able to overhear.
- 1:53:54SPEAKER_09: And she just wants to ask, because this is something she's always wanted to know, is do you know why I was born this way?
- 1:54:02SPEAKER_09: You don't have to tell me now, but do you know?
- 1:54:07SPEAKER_21: I don't know why you were born this way.
- 1:54:09SPEAKER_21: I know that you are not the only one that was born this way, but you are the only one here.
- 1:54:19SPEAKER_09: What do you mean, not the only elf?
- 1:54:21SPEAKER_21: I'm not the only elf that was born with this heritage.
- 1:54:23SPEAKER_21: There have been others in the past.
- 1:54:29SPEAKER_06: Well, that's interesting.
- 1:54:30SPEAKER_21: But none that none you are the only one now.
- 1:54:34SPEAKER_21: Well, current, I should say.
- 1:54:35SPEAKER_09: That you know of.

- 1:54:53SPEAKER_09: Do you have a use for the dwarves, Winter Force send?
- 1:54:58SPEAKER_09: I think they're itching to be useful.
- 1:55:01SPEAKER_21: Yes, we will put them to good use.
- 1:55:03SPEAKER_21: I'm sure.
- 1:55:05SPEAKER_02: Quick question.

- 1:55:43SPEAKER_21: I mean roll a perception check.
- 1:55:47SPEAKER_21: I think with disadvantage.
- 1:55:49SPEAKER_21: With disadvantage?
- 1:55:50SPEAKER_21: Because you're drunk, some halved.
- 1:55:52SPEAKER_02: Because you're a toaster uh perception, eight, three, five, six, eight.
- 1:56:00SPEAKER_21: Yeah, you don't really notice.
- 1:56:01SPEAKER_21: I mean, you're like, you it does occur to you that you haven't really touched her, but you don't feel anything different right now.
- 1:56:08SPEAKER_21: You just kind of like two-handed.
- 1:56:10SPEAKER_21: And all and also all you hear is like ringing.
- 1:56:14SPEAKER_02: That bomb went off pretty good.
- 1:56:17SPEAKER_14: That bomb went off pretty good.
- 1:56:19SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:56:19SPEAKER_02: As I'm trying to talk to all the other audience decided, don't you think that that was so loud?
- 1:56:26SPEAKER_02: As he's like yelling it out top of his lungs because he can't hear anything.
- 1:56:29SPEAKER_14: He's just I mean, it was my idea.
- 1:56:31SPEAKER_14: It's pretty pretty cool.
- 1:56:33SPEAKER_02: We had we had a romance out that one.
- 1:56:37SPEAKER_02: And he's sleeping, isn't he?
- 1:56:41SPEAKER_14: I think.
- 1:56:41SPEAKER_14: Well, I wasn't trying to drag him back to his tent.
- 1:56:45SPEAKER_14: Like he's gonna say he won the Drake of Cause.
- 1:56:49SPEAKER_16: Because he passed out first, and I win.
- 1:56:52SPEAKER_16: He doesn't know.
- 1:56:54SPEAKER_16: First order follow up sleep losers.
- 1:56:59SPEAKER_21: I know you're standing over at the uh battle area, witnessing all of this and watching Oleander pick up jerkin and struggle under his weight as he like puts his whole heavy arm around her and she sinks down half an inch.
- 1:57:14SPEAKER_22: Watching this whole scene like this.
- 1:57:17SPEAKER_22: Take it in.
- 1:57:21SPEAKER_22: There's now a hole in the fence?
- 1:57:23SPEAKER_21: No, there's not a hole in the fence.
- 1:57:24SPEAKER_21: There's a hole in the ground.
- 1:57:26SPEAKER_22: Okay, cool.
- 1:57:27SPEAKER_22: It was in the training everything that messed up, not the actual fence itself.
- 1:57:29SPEAKER_22: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:57:31SPEAKER_22: Excellent.
- 1:57:32SPEAKER_22: I mean, I kind of knocked over the fence a little bit.
- 1:57:34SPEAKER_02: A little bit, not the big fence.
- 1:57:36SPEAKER_22: Well, I don't know.
- 1:57:37SPEAKER_22: We'll wander along, I'll say the left side of the fence back towards the front gate.
- 1:57:41SPEAKER_22: And uh Aussie, he's just checking it out.
- 1:57:44SPEAKER_22: How high are the fences on average?
- 1:57:46SPEAKER_21: Uh they're pretty high.
- 1:57:47SPEAKER_21: They're they're high enough that you'd have to have either an enhanced ability or a magical jump to be able to jump to the top of them.
- 1:57:53SPEAKER_21: Perfect.
- 1:57:54unknown: Okay.
- 1:57:54SPEAKER_22: So kind of thing there.
- 1:57:55SPEAKER_22: He's just checking them.
- 1:57:56SPEAKER_22: He comes along the second tower, actually, and just uh to take note of the things there.
- 1:58:02SPEAKER_22: How many people are man in the tower at a time?
- 1:58:04SPEAKER_21: You got one guard in each tower.
- 1:58:05SPEAKER_21: One guard in each tower.
- 1:58:06SPEAKER_21: And as you walk approach the tower, the guard notices you immediately and gives you a nod.
- 1:58:11SPEAKER_22: I nod back him.
- 1:58:12SPEAKER_22: I say, mind if I join you for a moment in Elven.
- 1:58:16SPEAKER_21: Uh yeah, so yeah, he's he's like, not at all.
- 1:58:19SPEAKER_21: I welcome the company.
- 1:58:22SPEAKER_22: I uh start moving a little quicker and I'll jump on up to him actually.
- 1:58:27SPEAKER_22: Jump on up and grab the pole.
- 1:58:28SPEAKER_22: I won't take the steps.
- 1:58:29SPEAKER_21: You just dinner?
- 1:58:31SPEAKER_22: Just come up and grab catch onto the pole on the side of it.
- 1:58:34SPEAKER_21: And he just goes, he goes, gods! That was good.
- 1:58:36SPEAKER_21: And he reaches over and grabs you by the wrist and helps you into the into the uh what'd you call it?
- 1:58:42SPEAKER_22: Watchtower.
- 1:58:42SPEAKER_21: Watchtower, yeah.
- 1:58:43SPEAKER_21: There you go.
- 1:58:44SPEAKER_22: I nod to him and I start looking around.
- 1:58:46SPEAKER_22: I'm like, they only leave you one here at a time, do they?
- 1:58:49SPEAKER_21: Well, we rotate pretty frequently so that we don't get tired.
- 1:58:53SPEAKER_21: But ourselves, I'm sure you know we don't need to rest that often.
- 1:58:57SPEAKER_22: Our traveling companion Delphine is an elfin we've noticed.
- 1:59:00SPEAKER_22: It's one of the advantages for watch.
- 1:59:02SPEAKER_21: Hmm.
- 1:59:03SPEAKER_22: You have the most likely tower where an attack would come from, I think.
- 1:59:06SPEAKER_21: You don't seem to be a ranged fighter.
- 1:59:08SPEAKER_21: This is not where I would expect to see someone like you to be.
- 1:59:14SPEAKER_22: That's why I'm investigating the wall and I'm checking where if something came, my uh my abilities and my and my being best fit.
- 1:59:23SPEAKER_22: You find uh like my jump up here.
- 1:59:26SPEAKER_22: I have ways to get into areas where you wouldn't expect.
- 1:59:30SPEAKER_21: Well that was quite impressive.
- 1:59:33SPEAKER_22: Well, thank you.
- 1:59:34SPEAKER_21: I'm Silaris.
- 1:59:36SPEAKER_22: I know.
- 1:59:37SPEAKER_21: Silvaris Nightwood.
- 1:59:38SPEAKER_22: Hawthorne.
- 1:59:40SPEAKER_21: Well, you're welcome to join me whenever I'm on watch, but I think you'll find it quite boring.
- 1:59:46SPEAKER_22: Well, I will definitely stop in when I patrol.
- 1:59:51SPEAKER_22: I tend to move.
- 1:59:53SPEAKER_21: When he turns and he's talking to you, and he kind of leans against his uh longbow as it like touches the ground and he looks over, and you can see from where you're sitting there, you can actually see over some of the trees, and you can see the glow of silvery moon, and you can kind of see the shimmer on the bubble as it just edges across the top of the tree canopy.
- 2:00:11SPEAKER_21: And you just hear him kind of say, I wonder if we'll ever take her back.
- 2:00:17SPEAKER_22: We've taken one bubble down before.
- 2:00:19SPEAKER_22: We can give this one up.
- 2:00:20SPEAKER_22: The vanguard has a way of finding itself in difficult situations and breaking them.
- 2:00:27SPEAKER_19: And you are the vanguard, is that who you are?
- 2:00:30SPEAKER_22: I'm a member of the Planar Vanguard.
- 2:00:32SPEAKER_22: One of the one.
- 2:00:34SPEAKER_22: One of six.
- 2:00:37SPEAKER_19: And I have hope.
- 2:00:40SPEAKER_22: Hope's what we can ask for.
- 2:00:43SPEAKER_22: With hope we have everything.
- 2:00:46SPEAKER_22: Things look bad.
- 2:00:47SPEAKER_22: Things look bleak.
- 2:00:50SPEAKER_22: I'd be scared of things like this.
- 2:00:52SPEAKER_21: Well, it is good to have a new hope.
- 2:00:59SPEAKER_22: It must be hard to see your home.
- 2:01:05SPEAKER_21: It is tough.
- 2:01:06SPEAKER_21: It's difficult.
- 2:01:07SPEAKER_21: We are all hurting in our own ways.
- 2:01:09SPEAKER_21: But it is also uplifting to see the aid that have come from around.
- 2:01:15SPEAKER_21: The dwarves have shown up.
- 2:01:17SPEAKER_21: You are here.
- 2:01:18SPEAKER_21: We have houses that are working together that formerly did not like each other.
- 2:01:24SPEAKER_21: It has brought us together as a community, however, there is only a little bit of us.
- 2:01:33SPEAKER_22: I once heard my father say.
- 2:01:37SPEAKER_22: That the only thing that ever truly changes the world is a small group of determined people working to do so.
- 2:01:45SPEAKER_22: There won't be an army that brings us back down.
- 2:01:49SPEAKER_22: You break the spine of the head of this beast.
- 2:01:53SPEAKER_22: Those orcs will scary.
- 2:01:56SPEAKER_22: When the chips really fall down and they start burning, they face Elvin Mike.
- 2:02:03SPEAKER_22: Watch them screw me back to the room.
- 2:02:05SPEAKER_21: Well, I uh I do believe I've never heard that saying before, so I thank you for that.
- 2:02:11SPEAKER_21: And I hope it's true.
- 2:02:14SPEAKER_21: Well, he kind of looks like he's trying to like roll it over in his head, all the different analogies that you just made.
- 2:02:24SPEAKER_09: Very wordy, his father.
- 2:02:26SPEAKER_22: When a tree falls, it's worth two in the bush.
- 2:02:30SPEAKER_22: I thank him for his company.
- 2:02:32SPEAKER_22: Tell him I'll be on my way, slide back down and off the and continue on around the camp.
- 2:02:38SPEAKER_21: You watch as he realizes that his focus was um elsewhere for a second, he snaps back into duty and continues to patrol and watch the line.
- 2:02:48SPEAKER_22: I'll continue around the camp and then start making my way back over towards the fire to find out if uh Oleander's managed to get Drew in upright.
- 2:02:55SPEAKER_21: Cool.
- 2:02:55SPEAKER_21: Um, you guys are all kind of like converging now with pardon me?
- 2:03:00SPEAKER_21: I check on my brother just for the story of it.
- 2:03:02SPEAKER_21: Oh, you walk into his tent and it just reeks so much diarrhea.
- 2:03:06SPEAKER_22: Are you alive, brother?
- 2:03:08SPEAKER_22: Oh, brother.
- 2:03:10SPEAKER_22: Don't come in here.
- 2:03:12SPEAKER_22: I'm not! As I step back outside.
- 2:03:15SPEAKER_21: They're gonna have to repaint all the wood in here.
- 2:03:19SPEAKER_09: Brown?
- 2:03:21SPEAKER_21: It's terrible.
- 2:03:22SPEAKER_22: What have you done to yourself?
- 2:03:24SPEAKER_22: I don't know.
- 2:03:26SPEAKER_22: Oh.
- 2:03:28SPEAKER_22: Maybe if we can weaponize this and inflict it upon the orcs, we can win this war right now.
- 2:03:34SPEAKER_22: Leave me be.
- 2:03:37SPEAKER_22: I wish him well.
- 2:03:41SPEAKER_21: Alright.
- 2:03:42SPEAKER_21: With that, we're gonna take a short break.
- 2:03:44SPEAKER_11: Hi, Delphine here.
- 2:03:46SPEAKER_11: And I've just been informed, unfortunately, this is my circus.
- 2:03:49SPEAKER_11: These are, in fact, my monkeys.
- 2:03:51SPEAKER_11: Please send help after the break.
- 2:03:57SPEAKER_21: So you are still in the um still in the account.

- 2:04:08SPEAKER_02: We blew that shit up like in the daytime.
- 2:04:10SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you did in the middle of the day.
- 2:04:12SPEAKER_02: No, that's like noon.
- 2:04:15SPEAKER_22: This was literally like probably about people were at lunch when this happened.
- 2:04:18SPEAKER_22: Yeah.
- 2:04:19SPEAKER_22: Fucking right.
- 2:04:21SPEAKER_02: I got day drunk with my best friend.
- 2:04:23SPEAKER_02: You're still day drunk?
- 2:04:24SPEAKER_02: Still drunk.
- 2:04:25SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna go to bed.
- 2:04:26SPEAKER_22: This is all official stuff you're saying, by the way.
- 2:04:28SPEAKER_22: He's sitting by the fire.
- 2:04:30SPEAKER_22: I got day drunk with my best friend.
- 2:04:32SPEAKER_22: That's good, Dr.
- 2:04:35SPEAKER_22: I picture him laughing just like that as I walk up right now.
- 2:04:40SPEAKER_22: What's happened to him?
- 2:04:42SPEAKER_22: He's drunk, his hair is all puffed up, he's laughing over the phone.
- 2:04:45SPEAKER_10: I mean, did you see the big boom?
- 2:04:48SPEAKER_22: I came to the aftermath.
- 2:04:50SPEAKER_22: I came to the aftermath and saw him crumpled over a pile of something.
- 2:04:53SPEAKER_09: Somehow he is involved with the big boom.
- 2:04:55SPEAKER_09: He was having fun.
- 2:04:59SPEAKER_22: I picture that nod, too.
- 2:05:02SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna go to sleep.
- 2:05:06SPEAKER_23: Did I hear this boom?
- 2:05:08SPEAKER_23: Oh yeah.
- 2:05:08SPEAKER_23: Oh, yeah, everybody heard it.
- 2:05:09SPEAKER_23: Oh, okay.
- 2:05:10SPEAKER_23: Well, I guess that's probably walked over there that's a little bit more.
- 2:05:12SPEAKER_23: I bet you people in silver moon heard it.
- 2:05:14SPEAKER_07: I'll try and walk over to the uh barracks where we've left our stuff and talk with you because I never actually dropped off my stuff.
- 2:05:26SPEAKER_23: Just in giving the weight support because he'd phenomenal target practice.
- 2:05:30SPEAKER_23: Or I guess if everyone's going back, I guess.
- 2:05:32SPEAKER_23: The problem with that, they just blew up the training area.
- 2:05:34SPEAKER_09: I gotta reset my.
- 2:05:36SPEAKER_23: Now I'm annoyed with whoever the hell did that, too.
- 2:05:39SPEAKER_23: Anyway, fine.
- 2:05:41SPEAKER_23: I'll be back.
- 2:05:43SPEAKER_07: We all we all go.
- 2:05:44SPEAKER_23: I'm prompt, you know.
- 2:05:45SPEAKER_23: I'm gonna tell you why it's mine.
- 2:05:48SPEAKER_23: You know, he was a shyster.
- 2:05:50SPEAKER_23: He's trying to charge way too much for these boots.
- 2:05:53SPEAKER_09: Were they very nice boots?
- 2:05:55SPEAKER_23: They were very nice boots, but what was he charging?
- 2:05:59SPEAKER_23: Seemed like way too much to me.
- 2:06:02SPEAKER_23: What was he charging?
- 2:06:04SPEAKER_23: 450 gold.
- 2:06:05SPEAKER_23: They were just boots.
- 2:06:07SPEAKER_23: He said they're boots of elven kind.
- 2:06:12SPEAKER_23: What?
- 2:06:14SPEAKER_09: He said boots of elven kind.
- 2:06:16SPEAKER_23: I think that's what he called them.
- 2:06:17SPEAKER_23: I thought they looked rather nice and rather comfortable, but that's they are very nice boots.
- 2:06:23unknown: Wow.
- 2:06:24SPEAKER_23: Not that nice, I don't think.
- 2:06:26SPEAKER_09: Oh, trust me, they're probably pretty nice.
- 2:06:31SPEAKER_09: Did you tell him we were sent being sent in by the general?
- 2:06:34SPEAKER_23: I sent that I was I told him we were I was up the Planner Vanguard and that we were going into the city, yes.
- 2:06:41SPEAKER_23: He did not seem to care.
- 2:06:43SPEAKER_09: Did Ralt, you gotta play a little bit of politics with these people.
- 2:06:49SPEAKER_09: Did you say that you were here for the general?
- 2:06:51SPEAKER_09: General Arendel?
- 2:06:53SPEAKER_23: I suppose not.
- 2:06:55SPEAKER_09: There are times when name dropping is expected.
- 2:07:00SPEAKER_23: I guess that's just not something I've done in the past.
- 2:07:05SPEAKER_23: Do you want these boots?
- 2:07:08SPEAKER_23: Yes.
- 2:07:09SPEAKER_23: I mean, I can't say we're gonna get them for free, but I wouldn't expect to get them for free, but if we have a reasonable price.
- 2:07:18SPEAKER_23: Reasonable.
- 2:07:20SPEAKER_23: What is a reasonable price?
- 2:07:21SPEAKER_09: Well, what is your reasonable price?
- 2:07:22SPEAKER_23: I don't know what a reasonable price is.
- 2:07:25SPEAKER_09: I don't know what we just got a bunch of money from a dragon.
- 2:07:29SPEAKER_09: Readings, did you?
- 2:07:31SPEAKER_23: Are they magical or are they more like they more than likely, yes.
- 2:07:35SPEAKER_23: I guess they're magical.
- 2:07:37SPEAKER_09: Do you did you ask it what they do?
- 2:07:40unknown: No.
- 2:07:40SPEAKER_09: You should have asked him what they do.
- 2:07:43SPEAKER_23: I didn't know they were magical.
- 2:07:45SPEAKER_23: I thought they were just comfortable looking boots.
- 2:07:47SPEAKER_09: I mean, they probably are.
- 2:07:48SPEAKER_23: They had a little scratch on them.
- 2:07:50SPEAKER_09: Did you make the scratch?
- 2:07:52SPEAKER_23: No.
- 2:07:53SPEAKER_09: That's a pretty dirty way to do it.
- 2:07:55SPEAKER_23: Yeah, I'd give you a dirty look.
- 2:07:56SPEAKER_23: Yeah.
- 2:07:57SPEAKER_23: I would do something like that.
- 2:07:59SPEAKER_23: Is there anything else?
- 2:08:02SPEAKER_10: Fletcher, did you need any arrows?
- 2:08:04SPEAKER_23: No, yeah.
- 2:08:05SPEAKER_23: I didn't really look at any of that stuff.
- 2:08:07SPEAKER_23: I was just annoyed.
- 2:08:08SPEAKER_23: I was then I heard the explosion.
- 2:08:09SPEAKER_23: I decided I would come back.
- 2:08:11SPEAKER_09: We all heard that explosion.
- 2:08:12SPEAKER_09: Do you want one of us to come look at it again?
- 2:08:16SPEAKER_09: Or are you just you don't want to?
- 2:08:17SPEAKER_23: Well, all that's magical in nature.
- 2:08:19SPEAKER_23: Maybe you can take a look and see if what you think it would be worth.
- 2:08:22SPEAKER_23: Take a look later, yeah.
- 2:08:24unknown: Okay.
- 2:08:25SPEAKER_23: All right.
- 2:08:25SPEAKER_09: I guess I'll, while we're all together though, and this was passing out.
- 2:08:32SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 2:08:33SPEAKER_09: We just need to check Draken.
- 2:08:35SPEAKER_09: Do we do we have a plan, an idea?
- 2:08:37SPEAKER_22: Well, I don't know if we can count Brax in right now.
- 2:08:42SPEAKER_22: I don't think he'd be of much use to us.
- 2:08:45SPEAKER_22: Well, he's okay.
- 2:08:46SPEAKER_09: Neither is Drukin right now.
- 2:08:48SPEAKER_22: I'm fine.
- 2:08:50SPEAKER_22: I don't know if even by tomorrow, we'll have to give me an hour.
- 2:08:56SPEAKER_22: Give me 30 seconds.
- 2:08:58SPEAKER_22: I mean, orcs are more active at night.
- 2:09:00SPEAKER_22: So hitting them during the day does make more sense.
- 2:09:04SPEAKER_14: Would you like to do that?
- 2:09:07SPEAKER_14: Are they nocturnal?
- 2:09:09SPEAKER_23: Well, if they can certainly see well at night, they're definitely being one.
- 2:09:19SPEAKER_02: I think we could go now.
- 2:09:21SPEAKER_14: Uh, you think we could do a lot now?
- 2:09:23SPEAKER_02: Who else can't see?
- 2:09:24SPEAKER_02: I survived besides me.
- 2:09:25SPEAKER_02: Well, I can do it.
- 2:09:27SPEAKER_02: You, I guess.
- 2:09:28SPEAKER_22: We've been given, let's break it down.
- 2:09:29SPEAKER_22: We've been given several tasks.
- 2:09:30SPEAKER_22: Who says we have to do them all at once?
- 2:09:32SPEAKER_22: I guess just me.
- 2:09:34SPEAKER_22: If we want to get a recon of things in the first place, and maybe say our first goal is capture and get one of these blue-eyed, purple-eyed possessed people out.
- 2:09:47SPEAKER_22: They said that would be useful capturing one of them.
- 2:09:49SPEAKER_22: Maybe we do that, get a recon of the area, area, get our first layout for how we will actually.
- 2:09:55SPEAKER_22: I bet you we can get in and out quietly enough with that without being seen.
- 2:09:59SPEAKER_23: Are we planning on going in then?
- 2:10:02SPEAKER_23: What else are we here for?
- 2:10:03SPEAKER_23: We'll apparently have a lot to do.
- 2:10:06SPEAKER_09: Someone needs to sober up and someone else needs to stop moving.
- 2:10:09SPEAKER_09: Exactly.
- 2:10:11SPEAKER_23: So we're good because it's hand.
- 2:10:15SPEAKER_23: But I don't disagree.
- 2:10:17SPEAKER_23: That was actually my own thoughts.
- 2:10:18SPEAKER_23: We need to capture or interrogate someone inside and get more information.
- 2:10:23SPEAKER_23: We definitely need to do that.
- 2:10:25SPEAKER_23: However, we aren't going in right now, it seems.
- 2:10:28SPEAKER_09: Do you still have the ability to read people's thoughts?
- 2:10:32SPEAKER_23: No.
- 2:10:33SPEAKER_09: I don't.
- 2:10:35SPEAKER_09: That would have been really handy.
- 2:10:37SPEAKER_07: However, I think it would be We do Only once, though.
- 2:10:46SPEAKER_23: A couple times, it's not repeated.
- 2:10:48SPEAKER_23: Why don't you have the ability to do that anymore?
- 2:10:51SPEAKER_07: Because that was my helm, which I'm no longer using.
- 2:10:56SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 2:10:58SPEAKER_09: Because you made a new friend.
- 2:11:01SPEAKER_05: Because I had to make a new friend.
- 2:11:03SPEAKER_09: I know.
- 2:11:04SPEAKER_05: I made a new friend.
- 2:11:06SPEAKER_09: You do real good, honey.
- 2:11:08SPEAKER_09: You made a very shorter than I am.
- 2:11:11SPEAKER_22: Be short.
- 2:11:12SPEAKER_09: We're all shorter than you.
- 2:11:13SPEAKER_22: You drink protection.
- 2:11:14SPEAKER_22: What does the helm do?
- 2:11:15SPEAKER_22: That you decided it's more important to have protection.
- 2:11:19SPEAKER_05: If I attune to the helm again.
- 2:11:22SPEAKER_05: What's this attune word people keep using?
- 2:11:24SPEAKER_09: If you bond with it.
- 2:11:27SPEAKER_22: Attuning to a magical item.
- 2:11:29SPEAKER_09: Really concentrate on how bending the magic to your will.
- 2:11:33SPEAKER_05: Okay, that I understand.
- 2:11:35SPEAKER_05: If I rebond with my beautiful decorative headpiece, then I will be able to read minds again.
- 2:11:46SPEAKER_07: If directed appropriately.
- 2:11:55SPEAKER_23: No, I know.
- 2:11:55SPEAKER_23: I meant specifically ours.
- 2:11:57SPEAKER_09: No, I have not.
- 2:12:00SPEAKER_09: I asked you and it didn't end well for all of us.
- 2:12:02SPEAKER_22: I calmly put my hand on Amanda's wrist as she's giving up there and say, I think gold may have been hit in the head with a shovel a few times in the mine.
- 2:12:10SPEAKER_05: I was the one holding it.
- 2:12:12SPEAKER_09: Or at least I wish I was.
- 2:12:14SPEAKER_09: Alright, so do we want to try and do one one essentially scout mission to see if we can get someone to get information?
- 2:12:23SPEAKER_09: Are we hoping to pop in and out?
- 2:12:26SPEAKER_22: Well, I could be stuffy.
- 2:12:27SPEAKER_09: Well, they You're very, very stealthy, sweetheart.
- 2:12:30SPEAKER_22: Well, they said that they secured a teleportation circle right outside.
- 2:12:35SPEAKER_09: It's in the city.
- 2:12:36SPEAKER_09: It's outside the barrier.
- 2:12:39SPEAKER_22: We can use it in getting in and out.
- 2:12:42SPEAKER_09: My fear is that the more we use it, the more they will find out where it is.
- 2:12:46SPEAKER_09: So we will only probably have a few chances.
- 2:12:49SPEAKER_22: We should ask them what he means by secure.
- 2:12:51SPEAKER_22: You know, is it secure by from the resistance end of it?
- 2:12:54SPEAKER_22: If it's another encamp side of the encampment, there's no reason not to go there and pretend to be reinforcing it when we can easily slip out as a party after unseen once once we've blended into the surrounding.
- 2:13:06SPEAKER_22: They have to have all I'm saying, if it's secure, how is it secure?
- 2:13:11SPEAKER_22: It's probably secret.
- 2:13:13SPEAKER_22: That's what I'm asking.
- 2:13:14SPEAKER_22: We should get clarity on that.
- 2:13:16SPEAKER_22: If it's a one-time use, if it's secret, the one-time use is gonna do the flash like last time.
- 2:13:20SPEAKER_22: It could be seen.
- 2:13:22SPEAKER_00: Good point.
- 2:13:22SPEAKER_22: If it's secure, as he said, then there's no reason for us not to go there, as he was implying we should, and perhaps do a scouting mission first.
- 2:13:32SPEAKER_22: See what we can.
- 2:13:34SPEAKER_22: We need to know about what we're facing, the layout, where forces are getting are concentrated, how many, before we attempt this.
- 2:13:44SPEAKER_09: If I can if I can do true seeing like I did in the mine, I might be able to see the source of the flow of the magic of the barrier.
- 2:13:55SPEAKER_05: To try and find it.
- 2:13:56SPEAKER_05: Get a direction.
- 2:13:57SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 2:13:57SPEAKER_05: Um, well, he said your uncle said that he could feel the direction from underneath Silvery Moon.
- 2:14:04SPEAKER_07: He said that whatever was powering or something in the pillars was coming from underneath.
- 2:14:13SPEAKER_07: He said that he could feel it.
- 2:14:14SPEAKER_07: Or see it.
- 2:14:15SPEAKER_23: I can't remember.
- 2:14:16SPEAKER_23: So, like that we need to get into the underneath Silvery Moon.
- 2:14:20SPEAKER_09: We either have to stop that whoever is and where it is, even if you're underneath to get there, you're walking right into the heart of the enemy.
- 2:14:31SPEAKER_09: That's where they have the king and queen, that's where they're gonna have everything.
- 2:14:39SPEAKER_09: I think we have to go.
- 2:14:40SPEAKER_09: That's that that part of the mission, as it were, will have to that will be no going back kind of thing.
- 2:14:48SPEAKER_09: So if we want to do first a quick foray, come back with some information, and then as long as we don't create any disturbance.
- 2:14:57SPEAKER_04: Well, we'll have to be very, very sneaky.
- 2:15:00SPEAKER_23: Well, make it very, very sneaky.
- 2:15:03SPEAKER_04: Oh, honey, you're snee so sneaky.
- 2:15:06SPEAKER_04: Your armor isn't though.
- 2:15:10SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
- 2:15:12SPEAKER_09: So I'm gonna get him some coffee.
- 2:15:16SPEAKER_09: Let's let him sleep it off first.
- 2:15:17SPEAKER_09: Poorly timed drinking contest.
- 2:15:20SPEAKER_20: Great drinking contest.
- 2:15:23SPEAKER_09: Alright, are we gonna wait for him to sober up and then um okay?
- 2:15:28SPEAKER_09: So you're doing this today, your Uncle have already scouted out a lot.
- 2:15:33SPEAKER_05: They can give us as much, they've given us a lot of information.
- 2:15:36SPEAKER_05: We can get them to map out as closely as possible what they have seen, like a physical map, not just telling us.
- 2:15:43SPEAKER_09: He hasn't given that.
- 2:15:44SPEAKER_09: Yes.
- 2:15:45SPEAKER_05: We can we can get that.
- 2:15:46SPEAKER_09: There's a map in the war time.
- 2:15:48SPEAKER_05: It wouldn't be a bad idea to try and capture one of the uh crystal zombies and uh see what see if they're actually fixable.
- 2:16:02SPEAKER_05: Uh we don't know how many there are.
- 2:16:06SPEAKER_05: It wouldn't be bad to get a quick laying of eyes ourselves.
- 2:16:10SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 2:16:11SPEAKER_05: I don't disagree with that.
- 2:16:12SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 2:16:13SPEAKER_05: Um, we can do that while Dricken sobers up and oh, are we leaving without him?
- 2:16:18SPEAKER_09: I don't like that.
- 2:16:20SPEAKER_07: Hmm.
- 2:16:21SPEAKER_07: Do you want to leave with him right now?
- 2:16:23SPEAKER_09: No, no, unless he's a diverge.
- 2:16:25SPEAKER_09: Give him an hour.
- 2:16:28SPEAKER_09: Give him a bit, and we'll just go in like an hour or so.
- 2:16:31SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 2:16:33SPEAKER_09: How much did he drink?
- 2:16:35SPEAKER_09: You short-lived races.
- 2:16:38SPEAKER_09: You just always go, go, go.
- 2:16:43SPEAKER_02: I drank a lot.
- 2:16:47SPEAKER_08: How big?
- 2:16:48SPEAKER_08: Show me how big Drew can.
- 2:16:50SPEAKER_08: That much?
- 2:16:51SPEAKER_07: He stretches his arms all the way out.
- 2:16:55SPEAKER_08: I drank this much.
- 2:16:57SPEAKER_16: So much.
- 2:16:58SPEAKER_16: So much beer.
- 2:17:00SPEAKER_09: Make him a whole pot of coffee and yeah.
- 2:17:03SPEAKER_07: Alright, well, we can wait until um somebody sewers up with it.
- 2:17:08SPEAKER_09: Did you want Rold to go to a shop or no?
- 2:17:13SPEAKER_23: Well, maybe I wouldn't mind seeing I wouldn't mind seeing what uh they have to say, I guess.
- 2:17:20SPEAKER_23: If you know using names has some effect.
- 2:17:23SPEAKER_23: Sure, why not?
- 2:17:24SPEAKER_09: Well, I can tell you if it seems worth the cost, too.
- 2:17:27SPEAKER_23: For sure.
- 2:17:28SPEAKER_23: Okay.
- 2:17:29SPEAKER_23: Okay.
- 2:17:30SPEAKER_23: Alright, well, I'll show you where I went then.
- 2:17:31SPEAKER_09: Okay, let's go.
- 2:17:32SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I'll go with you guys after after we've touched your video if you get them the lots of coffee.
- 2:17:38SPEAKER_21: Show them the weather worker then.
- 2:17:40SPEAKER_21: So you go over there and Delphine takes you in.
- 2:17:43SPEAKER_21: And you see as the shelf warner again is.
- 2:17:49SPEAKER_03: Oh.
- 2:17:51SPEAKER_03: Welcome back.
- 2:17:53SPEAKER_23: Yes, I'm back.
- 2:17:54SPEAKER_23: I just figured I would bring my companion.
- 2:17:58SPEAKER_23: Uh companion?
- 2:17:59SPEAKER_23: Companion.
- 2:18:00SPEAKER_23: Delphine.
- 2:18:01SPEAKER_23: As she has much more knowledge of these sort of items than I do, so I figured I would get her assessment of the value of this.
- 2:18:11SPEAKER_21: Oh.
- 2:18:12SPEAKER_09: What is the item he was looking for?
- 2:18:14SPEAKER_21: Oh, he was very interested in these, and he pulls down the boots of the elven kind.
- 2:18:19SPEAKER_21: They look like they're like a sock, but like in the shape of like a leaf.
- 2:18:23SPEAKER_21: He really likes these.
- 2:18:25SPEAKER_21: We have them on for 500 gold pieces, but he talked me down to taking 50 gold pieces off.
- 2:18:33SPEAKER_21: So 450 would be the price.
- 2:18:35SPEAKER_09: I'm just kind of like lean on the counter and she's sort of like making her father's ring very apparent.
- 2:18:40SPEAKER_09: And she's like, so General Arundel has tasked us with going into the city.
- 2:18:46SPEAKER_09: And for that, you know we're going to have to be as quiet and careful as we possibly can.
- 2:18:54SPEAKER_09: Is there anything you can do with the price to aid this endeavor?
- 2:19:00SPEAKER_21: You are going into Silvery Moon.
- 2:19:03SPEAKER_09: Yes.
- 2:19:03SPEAKER_21: And you are taking this one with you.
- 2:19:07SPEAKER_09: Despite appearances, he's actually quite capable.
- 2:19:12SPEAKER_23: Yeah, I'll show some feats of dexterity, considering I'm I'm more dexterous than probably 98% of elves.
- 2:19:19SPEAKER_23: Yeah.
- 2:19:20SPEAKER_07: Are you gonna dance for him?
- 2:19:22SPEAKER_07: No, there's no slate of hands with a dagger and just something.
- 2:19:25SPEAKER_07: I don't know.
- 2:19:26SPEAKER_21: Roll me a slate of hand.
- 2:19:27SPEAKER_07: I wanna I want to imagine him dancing.
- 2:19:29SPEAKER_07: He said he's gonna show some feats.
- 2:19:31SPEAKER_21: So he just takes his socks off.
- 2:19:36SPEAKER_21: Check out these puppies.
- 2:19:38SPEAKER_21: Groom myself.
- 2:19:40SPEAKER_23: Oh, that's pretty good.
- 2:19:41SPEAKER_23: I rolled a 19, so that's a 30.
- 2:19:43SPEAKER_21: Well, okay.
- 2:19:43SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 2:19:44SPEAKER_21: You actually impress him.
- 2:19:45SPEAKER_21: He's like, ooh.
- 2:19:46SPEAKER_23: Well.
- 2:19:47SPEAKER_23: I'd say I was fairly good at what I do.
- 2:19:51SPEAKER_09: I know that after all of this, how Celandra is looking to, of course, properly reimburse anyone who assists us.
- 2:20:00SPEAKER_21: Well, um, if that's the case then, if it's for Silvery Moon and for our general, then I would love to be a little more accommodating.
- 2:20:11SPEAKER_21: Um, they cost me 100 gold to make.
- 2:20:15SPEAKER_21: So as long as I see that price, I can part with them.
- 2:20:22SPEAKER_23: Okay, well, I'll, you know, go into my I I definitely have that sort of money, so I'll just sort of you know pull out a hundred very carefully, not showing how much I actually have in there, but slowly counting out while pulling out a you know essentially purse of coins.
- 2:20:38SPEAKER_21: Using all your change first.
- 2:20:39SPEAKER_21: Yeah, douche.
- 2:20:41SPEAKER_23: Yes.
- 2:20:42SPEAKER_23: Well, he was a douche, he deserved it.
- 2:20:44SPEAKER_23: I'm not copper.
- 2:20:46SPEAKER_23: I mean, just showing him my you know what I have to show him, though.
- 2:20:49SPEAKER_21: Okay, he uh takes them back and he slides the boots across the counter and goes, enjoy, they will uh form to your sides.
- 2:20:58SPEAKER_09: It's only the finest craft, what?
- 2:21:00SPEAKER_21: Yes.
- 2:21:01SPEAKER_21: You have but to wear them and bond with them, and they will fit you perfectly.
- 2:21:06SPEAKER_21: They will allow you to have a slight edge when it comes to any kind of feet or dexterity move that you are trying to do.
- 2:21:17SPEAKER_21: Oh, you know, similar to the cloak I'm wearing.
- 2:21:19SPEAKER_21: Yes.
- 2:21:21SPEAKER_09: He does have a thing for elves.
- 2:21:24SPEAKER_21: And also, um they make your uh steps have zero sound.
- 2:21:28SPEAKER_08: Yeah, yeah, I'm worried about that for sure.
- 2:21:30SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 2:21:31unknown: Okay.
- 2:21:31SPEAKER_08: Like we need him being more sneaky.
- 2:21:33SPEAKER_08: Uh right now I think we do.
- 2:21:36SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 2:21:37SPEAKER_09: He's gonna smoke.
- 2:21:39SPEAKER_09: All right, well, thank you very, very much.
- 2:21:41SPEAKER_21: Yes.
- 2:21:42SPEAKER_21: Thank you for coming in.
- 2:21:47SPEAKER_21: All right, we're gonna go.
- 2:21:48SPEAKER_07: Don't make faces.
- 2:21:51SPEAKER_07: All right, I'm going to, because I am there, even though World is ignoring me.
- 2:21:57SPEAKER_07: Sorry, I'm working on doing this.
- 2:21:59SPEAKER_07: I I'm gonna ask the shopkeeper.
- 2:22:01SPEAKER_07: Um, do you by any chance have any magical bags?
- 2:22:05SPEAKER_19: Oh, um what are you referring to?
- 2:22:10SPEAKER_19: Magical bags.
- 2:22:11SPEAKER_06: I'm looking for a bag of holding.
- 2:22:14SPEAKER_19: Oh, yes.
- 2:22:15SPEAKER_19: Um, I have quite plentiful.
- 2:22:19SPEAKER_05: I was told that you are very good with magics, and you have beautiful leather work, and I would be uh very honored to have one of your beautiful bags if I could.
- 2:22:32SPEAKER_05: How much are they?
- 2:22:35SPEAKER_21: Uh, they are relatively inexpensive.
- 2:22:40SPEAKER_21: I can probably let this go for 20 gold.
- 2:22:48SPEAKER_07: Does you said he had multiples?
- 2:22:49SPEAKER_21: He's got yeah, he's got a bunch of different things.
- 2:22:51SPEAKER_07: Are they are any of them different?
- 2:22:52SPEAKER_21: Yeah, they're in different shapes and different the way they look.
- 2:22:56SPEAKER_05: What's the prettiest one that they have?
- 2:22:59SPEAKER_21: Would be also the most expensive version of it.
- 2:23:02SPEAKER_07: Um, okay, okay.
- 2:23:05SPEAKER_07: I I'm assuming that there's plain or like that.
- 2:23:08SPEAKER_09: Do you want one like your leather pouch?
- 2:23:10SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 2:23:11SPEAKER_09: Uh uh flowers on it.
- 2:23:13SPEAKER_21: Um there is so there's one that's there's one that's green that uh looks like it's been crafted out of leaves.
- 2:23:21SPEAKER_21: And it is a it is a bag of holding that has uh flowers uh embroidered all over it, and it actually is like a fanny pack.
- 2:23:36SPEAKER_14: It's a fanny pack of holding.
- 2:23:40SPEAKER_10: I want the fanny pack of holding.
- 2:23:42SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 2:23:42SPEAKER_10: No, no, it has to be like full early 90s, like sun ice neon.
- 2:23:47SPEAKER_10: Yes.
- 2:23:47SPEAKER_14: No, I'm not my neon, but I'm a fanny pack.
- 2:23:50SPEAKER_21: Yeah, it has to be.
- 2:23:53SPEAKER_21: Actually, he's like, you know, I um I'm actually quite proud of this version.
- 2:23:57SPEAKER_21: I built it myself.
- 2:23:59SPEAKER_21: If you take a look along the ridges here uh where it opens, you can actually fasten it.
- 2:24:05SPEAKER_21: I have created these little interlocking teeth, and he goes, and he unzips the top and he's very proud.
- 2:24:13SPEAKER_21: It's quite pleasing to sound.
- 2:24:16SPEAKER_08: It is.
- 2:24:17SPEAKER_21: He unzips it with the zipper.
- 2:24:18SPEAKER_08: You could just, you know, do it again and again and again and again.
- 2:24:21SPEAKER_21: Yes, yes, yes, yes, but we won't, we won't do that.
- 2:24:24SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 2:24:25SPEAKER_09: But it is beautiful.
- 2:24:26SPEAKER_09: This is the most beautiful leather penny pouch I've seen.
- 2:24:32SPEAKER_21: Yes, and I can let this one go for 50 gold pieces.
- 2:24:36SPEAKER_09: I will take it.
- 2:24:37SPEAKER_09: It is worth every gold piece.
- 2:24:40SPEAKER_09: I thank you so much.
- 2:24:42SPEAKER_21: He gives it to you.
- 2:24:44SPEAKER_21: And he's like, oh, and uh to release it, there is a clasp on the back.
- 2:24:48SPEAKER_21: You just press the top together and it'll pop out.
- 2:24:52SPEAKER_08: All right, green and flowered fanny pack of holding.
- 2:24:56SPEAKER_08: So I love that.
- 2:24:59SPEAKER_22: Hearing this, I'll look over the wares of the pouches.
- 2:25:04SPEAKER_22: And I'm gonna grab myself a bag of holding, too.
- 2:25:06SPEAKER_14: Are we all getting bags of holding?
- 2:25:08SPEAKER_22: You know what?
- 2:25:08SPEAKER_22: It's a good place to hide costumes and stuff that I have utility belts for on to make it easier.
- 2:25:13SPEAKER_22: That's why I have bodies.
- 2:25:14SPEAKER_22: It's really good for getting rid of bodies when I don't have racks around.
- 2:25:18SPEAKER_22: So you know, it never hurts to have two bag of holdings on the head.
- 2:25:23SPEAKER_22: We now have three.
- 2:25:25SPEAKER_22: Yes.
- 2:25:25SPEAKER_22: That's weird.
- 2:25:26SPEAKER_09: I don't think I need one.
- 2:25:27SPEAKER_09: Well, each buying one.
- 2:25:28SPEAKER_09: He just said he wants to buy one.
- 2:25:30SPEAKER_22: Yeah, I was gonna take a look over something simple enough that we go by a few of them here, and he's he's and as you pipe up and ask for one.
- 2:25:38SPEAKER_22: He's like In Elvin.
- 2:25:41SPEAKER_21: In Elvin, yeah, but it's not the language.
- 2:25:46SPEAKER_21: And he's he kind of looks you over and he goes, Oh.
- 2:25:48SPEAKER_21: Um I don't um know what kind of bag you're looking for.
- 2:25:54SPEAKER_21: Um I do have a like a side satchel, and I do have uh a hip bag, one that would be attached to your thigh.
- 2:26:04SPEAKER_21: But um this actually might be of interest to you.
- 2:26:07SPEAKER_21: And he goes around back and he pulls up a bag of holding, and it's a little like round circle, and it's a backpack.
- 2:26:16SPEAKER_21: Like uh a Pokemon backpack, but it's black.
- 2:26:20SPEAKER_04: It's a mini backpack.
- 2:26:22SPEAKER_22: But it's mini, it's a minute.
- 2:26:23SPEAKER_21: It's mini.
- 2:26:24SPEAKER_21: It's very little.
- 2:26:24SPEAKER_21: It's like little, it's like this.
- 2:26:26SPEAKER_09: Again, very nice.
- 2:26:28SPEAKER_22: But it's interesting.
- 2:26:29SPEAKER_22: Late 90s.
- 2:26:29SPEAKER_22: The satchel, though.
- 2:26:31SPEAKER_22: Are we talking like an Indiana Jones satchel?
- 2:26:34SPEAKER_21: Yeah, it's like a side spot.
- 2:26:36SPEAKER_22: Does it have two splits?
- 2:26:38SPEAKER_09: It's MRS.
- 2:26:39SPEAKER_09: It's Murce.
- 2:26:41SPEAKER_21: It's a MERS.
- 2:26:42SPEAKER_21: I mean, Indiana Jones had one.
- 2:26:44SPEAKER_09: He's pretty cool.
- 2:26:45SPEAKER_09: Star Lord has one, it's pretty cool.
- 2:26:47SPEAKER_09: But how much are pretty cool?
- 2:26:49unknown: I don't know.
- 2:26:49SPEAKER_21: They are they're they depend on the price.
- 2:26:53SPEAKER_09: I do have a question if we're gonna be finagling.
- 2:26:56SPEAKER_07: Well, now I want to know if he has any leather armor.
- 2:27:01SPEAKER_22: You explode things, yeah.
- 2:27:04SPEAKER_22: I look over the backpack of the satchel for a little bit and compliment actually like some of the work on it.
- 2:27:10SPEAKER_22: And then looking at the satchel, it's something I could work into the normal Gitter figure on the back.
- 2:27:17SPEAKER_22: Mustn't disturb the ensemble.
- 2:27:19SPEAKER_22: It just needs to be functional.
- 2:27:21SPEAKER_22: And what's what I asked about like how much how much would the satchel style be?
- 2:27:25SPEAKER_22: I like it.
- 2:27:26SPEAKER_21: Uh um, third.
- 2:27:28SPEAKER_22: Happily, I give them 35.
- 2:27:31SPEAKER_21: Thank you.
- 2:27:32SPEAKER_21: Wow, that's it.
- 2:27:33SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 2:27:34SPEAKER_21: Bagger holdings are super cheap.
- 2:27:36SPEAKER_23: Oh wow.
- 2:27:37SPEAKER_21: Okay, comparatively.
- 2:27:38unknown: Okay, good to know.
- 2:27:39SPEAKER_21: Well, it's it's also like um Olyander was asking me about it.
- 2:27:43SPEAKER_21: She's like, how much would it be for a bag of holding?
- 2:27:44SPEAKER_21: Yeah, yeah.
- 2:27:44SPEAKER_21: And I was like, looking it up, and it's actually the one of the cheapest things you can buy because of the fact that all dungeon masters want their groups to have a bag of holding.
- 2:27:52SPEAKER_09: I don't need one.
- 2:27:53SPEAKER_09: I have a drax.
- 2:27:54SPEAKER_21: Yeah, you have a drax.
- 2:27:55SPEAKER_21: You do have a drax.
- 2:27:57unknown: Cool.
- 2:27:57SPEAKER_19: Yeah, absolutely.
- 2:27:58SPEAKER_09: Does he have any, because this is a leather armor.
- 2:28:01SPEAKER_19: Yep.
- 2:28:01SPEAKER_09: Does he have the enchanted leather or studded leather armor?
- 2:28:05SPEAKER_09: I do we need some.
- 2:28:06SPEAKER_09: Do you roll a?
- 2:28:07SPEAKER_21: I can't.
- 2:28:08SPEAKER_08: Okay, we both need.
- 2:28:10SPEAKER_08: We both need better armor.
- 2:28:12SPEAKER_21: Uh yes, I I do have something.
- 2:28:14SPEAKER_21: Um, can you roll me a uh investigation check, please?
- 2:28:20SPEAKER_05: Can she roll with advantage because we're both looking for it?
- 2:28:23SPEAKER_21: Uh how does that help me?
- 2:28:26SPEAKER_21: Yeah, yeah.
- 2:28:26SPEAKER_21: How does that make it more?
- 2:28:28SPEAKER_09: Because I'm half proficient in investigation.
- 2:28:32SPEAKER_10: Just because we both want it.
- 2:28:34SPEAKER_08: Yeah, because we because we're both being super nice asking for it and staring at all this pretty stuff.
- 2:28:42SPEAKER_10: 28.
- 2:28:43SPEAKER_21: 28?
- 2:28:46SPEAKER_21: It's funny.
- 2:28:47SPEAKER_21: Um, yeah, so you you you uh you look around and you're like, oh, there's a couple, there's a couple, there's a couple, and they're enchanted armor, but they're um they're studded armor.
- 2:28:57SPEAKER_21: And it looks to be for uh men, but he kind of looks you over and he looks at it, he's like, well, any of these could be altered.
- 2:29:06SPEAKER_21: Uh and again, whatever you put on and bond with will change its form to fit your body if it is something you're interested in.
- 2:29:14SPEAKER_21: Um, what kind of uh enchantment are you looking for on your leather?
- 2:29:19SPEAKER_09: Um, one that increases the strength of the armor, primarily.
- 2:29:24SPEAKER_09: I just need something to make me less squishy.
- 2:29:27SPEAKER_09: I I'm looking, I'm right now my uh go-to is mage armor, but I would like to conserve spell resources if I can.
- 2:29:37SPEAKER_09: So if I could get any kind of increase in the regular strength of the armor.
- 2:29:45SPEAKER_09: You don't have that, that's all right.
- 2:29:46SPEAKER_21: I don't have that.
- 2:29:47SPEAKER_21: But what I do have, this might interest you.
- 2:29:51SPEAKER_21: And he goes uh into the back for a second and he comes back out and he has this um leather-studded armor, but uh it's for a female, and it has like the obviously the breastplate and the lower arm, and it goes all the way down to the hips and then actually goes down in front on both sides.
- 2:30:07SPEAKER_21: So it's uh it's a long split skirt fitting armor.
- 2:30:10SPEAKER_21: And he's like, this is uh not enchanted.
- 2:30:14SPEAKER_21: However, if you take a look at the front here and he shows you the front row, and there's three little holsters and little uh places that are inset inside the armor, you can put gems in here, and the armor itself will imbue the gem with a spell of your choice, and you can store it in there and use it at will, as you would a scroll or any other means of a spell.
- 2:30:42SPEAKER_21: But once you expel it, the gem will shatter, and you will need to have it either replaced or replace it yourself, which I can easily show you how to do.
- 2:30:51SPEAKER_09: Is there a um specific value of gem it requires, such as with like healing spells require certain types of diamonds?
- 2:31:00SPEAKER_21: It it would be uh very cheap uh gem, you would just need to find gems that are matching.
- 2:31:06SPEAKER_21: You cannot put mix and match gems.
- 2:31:08SPEAKER_04: Yes, we like to colour coordinates.
- 2:31:10SPEAKER_21: Yes, rubies would work, emeralds would work, sapphires would work.
- 2:31:14SPEAKER_21: Uh I would not recommend diamonds, they are too expensive.
- 2:31:16SPEAKER_21: I can tell those from the case.
- 2:31:18SPEAKER_09: What about quartz?
- 2:31:20SPEAKER_21: Quartz is uh not a gem.
- 2:31:23SPEAKER_09: But it's not a it's not a precious stone.
- 2:31:26SPEAKER_21: Yes.
- 2:31:27unknown: I like it.
- 2:31:29SPEAKER_21: And you know, that is uh fine.
- 2:31:31SPEAKER_21: There are lots of folk that do enjoy those types of stones.
- 2:31:35SPEAKER_21: So I hope that you find more of them.
- 2:31:39SPEAKER_09: There is a charm to the lesser quality stone sometimes.
- 2:31:42SPEAKER_21: Yes, and it is lost on some people.
- 2:31:46SPEAKER_09: It is sometimes.
- 2:31:47SPEAKER_09: That's alright.
- 2:31:47SPEAKER_09: I will appreciate them for all of us.
- 2:31:49SPEAKER_09: Is this an item that requires um special bonding to it?
- 2:31:54SPEAKER_21: That is the benefit of this item, is that you do not have to have that.
- 2:32:00SPEAKER_09: What um price?
- 2:32:02SPEAKER_21: Now this one is quite hefty in price.
- 2:32:05SPEAKER_21: We are looking at around 800 gold.
- 2:32:09SPEAKER_21: I can knock that down a little bit because of your position.
- 2:32:14SPEAKER_19: Position, yes, thank you.
- 2:32:16SPEAKER_06: Well, I know I do know my uncle would be quite appreciative.
- 2:32:24SPEAKER_21: 500 and we'll call it good.
- 2:32:27SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 2:32:28SPEAKER_21: Fine.
- 2:32:29SPEAKER_21: Shakes your hand, hand you over the armor, you can place that into your inventory.
- 2:32:34SPEAKER_21: I will create that for you later.
- 2:32:36SPEAKER_21: Uh and it is uh it is regular studded armor.
- 2:32:41SPEAKER_21: So uh whatever that replaces for you, I think.
- 2:32:46SPEAKER_13: I can wear studded armor.
- 2:32:47SPEAKER_21: Yeah, I figured you could, otherwise you wouldn't buy it.
- 2:32:53SPEAKER_21: That's impossible.
- 2:32:56SPEAKER_21: It does not have any gems in it, and he shows you.
- 2:32:59SPEAKER_09: Luckily, two of us have found at least a couple satchels of jewels.
- 2:33:02SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 2:33:03SPEAKER_21: Yeah, so it's yeah, I think studded armor is 12 plus your deck's modemark.
- 2:33:06unknown: Yeah.
- 2:33:07SPEAKER_21: And so he he he kind of shows you, he's like, the way you want is to find the gem that you need.
- 2:33:12SPEAKER_21: You need to find the right size, and uh, you just push them in and you put pressure on them, and they'll just pop in past the little ridge that holds them in, and then they'll stay in place.
- 2:33:23SPEAKER_09: And is there a limit, spell level limit that can be stored?
- 2:33:27SPEAKER_21: Depends on the uh value of the gem.
- 2:33:30SPEAKER_21: Value of the gem.
- 2:33:30SPEAKER_21: The higher the value of the gem.
- 2:33:32SPEAKER_09: Other people use the gem.
- 2:33:33SPEAKER_21: You are the only one you are wearing it, so you would be the only one that has the ability to use the save spells.
- 2:33:40SPEAKER_21: The target that you choose is up to you, though.
- 2:33:42SPEAKER_14: Cool.
- 2:33:42SPEAKER_14: Cool, cool, cool, cool.
- 2:33:43SPEAKER_14: I'm not the only one who can use that.
- 2:33:45SPEAKER_22: Would they have any breastplates or half plate in here, or is that more the armor than this?
- 2:33:49SPEAKER_21: Uh yeah, this is uh this is a leather armor.
- 2:33:52SPEAKER_23: Okay, that's all I need.
- 2:33:54SPEAKER_23: That's quite a bit.
- 2:33:55SPEAKER_23: This leather worker had a lot of time in their hand.
- 2:34:01SPEAKER_09: They work very hard.
- 2:34:02SPEAKER_09: He would work with enchanters.
- 2:34:05SPEAKER_23: I would assume.
- 2:34:06SPEAKER_23: Was able to identify my ring, which is, by the way, worthless.
- 2:34:13SPEAKER_09: I just thought that my bracelet was really funny, though, so I didn't tell you.
- 2:34:17SPEAKER_09: Oh.
- 2:34:18unknown: Okay.
- 2:34:19SPEAKER_09: I really enjoyed my bracelet.
- 2:34:20SPEAKER_09: I forgive that guy.
- 2:34:21SPEAKER_09: It was funny.
- 2:34:23SPEAKER_01: Would we mind stopping by the armor to see if there's anything you might assist with my brother or myself?
- 2:34:30SPEAKER_09: We can.
- 2:34:31SPEAKER_09: I've just spent literally all my money and helped him get something nice and helped you guys get something nice.
- 2:34:36SPEAKER_01: Definitely.
- 2:34:36SPEAKER_22: I've spent$20 for the gold that I've accumulated.
- 2:34:39SPEAKER_22: We've got lots.
- 2:34:41SPEAKER_22: But I'm excited you haven't.
- 2:34:43SPEAKER_09: Despite how we butt heads, I do value your skills.
- 2:34:47SPEAKER_22: They may have something that might protect me a little more.
- 2:34:51SPEAKER_22: But we're taking a look just to see.
- 2:34:58SPEAKER_21: Where are you heading to?
- 2:34:59SPEAKER_22: The armor.
- 2:34:59SPEAKER_09: I guess we're I'm in the leather armor.
- 2:35:01SPEAKER_22: The armor itself.
- 2:35:03SPEAKER_21: That this is the only one.
- 2:35:04SPEAKER_09: The armor is he.
- 2:35:06SPEAKER_09: It's just that he was a leather worker, so he also did the other leather goods.
- 2:35:10SPEAKER_22: Yeah.
- 2:35:10SPEAKER_22: I'm looking at the breastplates or if there's any half plate.
- 2:35:13SPEAKER_07: Did you say ass plate?
- 2:35:15SPEAKER_07: Half plate.
- 2:35:17SPEAKER_22: Why don't I be able to do that?
- 2:35:18SPEAKER_22: Opposite bath plate chats.
- 2:35:20SPEAKER_22: Well, that's part of the armor you'd wear.
- 2:35:23SPEAKER_22: I guess I could just wear that as my half plate and tell the.
- 2:35:25SPEAKER_23: In most video games for female characters, that's one thing.
- 2:35:30SPEAKER_22: As long as I get a crotch plate, we'll say it's going to be a little bit more.
- 2:35:37SPEAKER_07: A really elaborate one like on um black out.
- 2:35:40SPEAKER_07: That's what I thought you were giving him when you were talking about the backpack.
- 2:35:44SPEAKER_08: When you were saying the round, and I'm just about to describe the codpiece that you also have like a codpiece of holding.
- 2:35:52SPEAKER_22: I would have bought that.
- 2:35:56SPEAKER_07: I can hide anything in here.
- 2:35:59SPEAKER_05: All right, anyway.
- 2:36:01SPEAKER_05: Half plates.
- 2:36:03SPEAKER_22: I don't want to interest me.
- 2:36:04SPEAKER_21: Uh yeah, he's got a few.
- 2:36:05SPEAKER_21: He doesn't, uh he does have, they are, they do consider it to be magical armor, especially one that he has.
- 2:36:11SPEAKER_21: Um, it's sitting up on uh a higher shelf.
- 2:36:15SPEAKER_21: And he's like, oh, um.
- 2:36:16SPEAKER_21: I do have some.
- 2:36:18SPEAKER_21: This uh it's quite more expensive than leatherworking, so you would be uh paying a quite a higher cost.
- 2:36:27SPEAKER_21: Um what you see up there is the uh Moon Warden have plate.
- 2:36:32SPEAKER_21: It was designed and created for members of the Moon Wardens here at uh the base.
- 2:36:39SPEAKER_21: It is strictly designed to go into battle and to be stealthy and to be quiet.
- 2:36:45SPEAKER_21: It is a moon forged, which means we have created it underneath the full moon, which imbues it with a certain glow that only can be seen by you or members of your party that you choose to be able to see uh renders you normal looking to anyone else.
- 2:37:10SPEAKER_21: Well, I don't know if it's within my my ranges, but I'd be more of an interesting one thing you'll find very interesting about this armor is it does actually repair itself over time.
- 2:37:21SPEAKER_22: Very handy trite.
- 2:37:24SPEAKER_21: Yes, and by the looks of you, you get hit quite a lot.
- 2:37:28SPEAKER_22: I smile and so I've got a very perceptive eye.
- 2:37:32SPEAKER_19: Yes, I do.
- 2:37:33SPEAKER_21: Your entire group has educated me today.
- 2:37:39SPEAKER_22: Tell me, gets a little a little I look at a moment I'll look at him for a moment and then go, I successfully punched an ancient white dragon the other day and survived to tell the tale.
- 2:37:49SPEAKER_21: Yes.
- 2:37:49SPEAKER_21: Uh a few more things that you might want to know.
- 2:37:52SPEAKER_21: Uh whenever you're with uh in uh 10 feet of an ally, or whenever an ally with you within 10 feet of you is hit by an attack, you may use a reaction and move up to 10 feet without provoking an opportunity attack and become the target of that attack instead.
- 2:38:07SPEAKER_09: Is that something for you, or are you thinking for your brother?
- 2:38:11SPEAKER_09: I don't know.
- 2:38:11SPEAKER_09: I know he was looking for armor.
- 2:38:13SPEAKER_21: Uh, it also does have the resolve of the boon.
- 2:38:17SPEAKER_21: Meaning when you are hurt and not well and have been damaged in battle, you will get an added bonus to your ability to dodge hits.
- 2:38:28SPEAKER_23: Wow.
- 2:38:29SPEAKER_22: This is a thing for me.
- 2:38:30SPEAKER_22: Yeah.
- 2:38:32SPEAKER_22: He's not the AC monkey.
- 2:38:34SPEAKER_22: I'm trying to convince him not to be buying the US.
- 2:38:36SPEAKER_09: He never even gets hit.
- 2:38:37SPEAKER_09: It's a Zeke that goes into shit.
- 2:38:38SPEAKER_22: Yes, he's better.
- 2:38:39SPEAKER_22: This is a meat 100%.
- 2:38:41SPEAKER_21: Uh I will tell you the one disadvantage it is heavier than normal.
- 2:38:47unknown: Very house.
- 2:38:48SPEAKER_09: But it doesn't give you disadvantage on stealth?
- 2:38:50unknown: No.
- 2:38:51SPEAKER_22: At least half plate, which is even if it doesn't have pluses, which it might, or that.
- 2:38:55SPEAKER_22: Even if it's just half plate, that's still a buffet AC.
- 2:38:57SPEAKER_22: And all these cool abilities.
- 2:38:59SPEAKER_22: It's a very, very impressive piece of work.
- 2:39:03SPEAKER_21: One of my finest pieces.
- 2:39:06SPEAKER_21: Now, this one is took me about I would say a thousand gold of work to produce.
- 2:39:14SPEAKER_21: So that would be the minimum that I would take, but I'm asking for 1500.
- 2:39:22SPEAKER_09: Well, you said you'd you made it for a thousand.
- 2:39:26SPEAKER_21: It cost me a thousand.
- 2:39:27SPEAKER_21: Yeah, that sounds pretty.
- 2:39:30SPEAKER_22: Well, I have but five hundred and forty gold I could contribute.
- 2:39:34SPEAKER_22: My brother, I might be able to talk into.
- 2:39:37SPEAKER_09: If you can speak with my uncle, perhaps you could be inducted into the moon wardens, and then it's part of your set.
- 2:39:46SPEAKER_23: Or do any of us have any other items for barter?
- 2:39:49SPEAKER_23: All the moon wardens.
- 2:39:50SPEAKER_09: We, well, we do have Idenvega holding.
- 2:39:52SPEAKER_09: We have some of those items we didn't want from the dragon.
- 2:39:54SPEAKER_09: We have the plus one great axe that no one really wanted.
- 2:39:57SPEAKER_23: Is that literally all it is?
- 2:39:59SPEAKER_09: There's a plus one great axe, there's the Arc Keon blade, which is a great sword, which is pretty cool, but I don't think any of us really can use it.
- 2:40:07SPEAKER_09: There was the boomerang, and then I have the rapier.
- 2:40:11SPEAKER_09: You have the wand?
- 2:40:12SPEAKER_09: Well, you're hanging on to the wand currently?
- 2:40:15SPEAKER_09: Hanging onto the wand.
- 2:40:16SPEAKER_09: I mean, I don't think no, I could use the wand if you're not going to use the wand.
- 2:40:21SPEAKER_09: I could use the wand.
- 2:40:22SPEAKER_05: Well, the blue.
- 2:40:23SPEAKER_05: I get nervous about trying to change out what I'm saying.
- 2:40:26SPEAKER_09: Because then we can have a discussion about the rapier.
- 2:40:30SPEAKER_09: But why?
- 2:40:31SPEAKER_09: Because currently I have the rapier.
- 2:40:32SPEAKER_09: Oh, wait, wait.
- 2:40:33SPEAKER_09: Because you're never actually, you know.
- 2:40:35SPEAKER_09: That's what I'm saying.
- 2:40:36SPEAKER_09: You didn't want the rapier when we talked about it.
- 2:40:38SPEAKER_23: Well, I wasn't the bonus standage.
- 2:40:40SPEAKER_09: Anyway, we have a couple items we could offer in barter in addition to any gold.
- 2:40:45SPEAKER_21: Uh, I am open to hearing of what you have.
- 2:40:49SPEAKER_21: And you are, uh he pulls down the armor for you to inspect, and you grab it and you're looking at it, and it is beautiful, but it is quite heavy.
- 2:40:58SPEAKER_21: And uh when you rub your hand over it, you do notice that you've got that same silver sheen from the oak tree on it.
- 2:41:05SPEAKER_21: So it is imbued with the qualities of the oak tree.
- 2:41:08SPEAKER_22: I'm sleeping.
- 2:41:09SPEAKER_22: As I'm holding it.
- 2:41:11SPEAKER_22: As I'm holding it, I just go, I want this.
- 2:41:14SPEAKER_22: I mean, more than anything, if one of you were getting struck, I'd rather take the hit than any of you.
- 2:41:22SPEAKER_09: I'd rather be taking that personally.
- 2:41:25SPEAKER_22: It's giving me that ability more than anything.
- 2:41:27SPEAKER_22: I don't know.
- 2:41:28SPEAKER_22: And it doesn't have any deterrence to how quiet and how sneaky I can be.
- 2:41:33SPEAKER_09: So I'm gonna, because I think I still have the bag of holding.
- 2:41:36SPEAKER_09: I took it from drugs to identify things.
- 2:41:37SPEAKER_22: Yep.
- 2:41:37SPEAKER_22: I'm sure my brother would be.
- 2:41:38SPEAKER_09: I'm gonna take out first the great axe, because I think none of us are great axe.
- 2:41:43SPEAKER_02: There was a great axe.
- 2:41:44SPEAKER_09: It's just the plus one great axe.
- 2:41:45SPEAKER_09: And I'm like, we have this item we could help go towards the cost if you'd like to inspect.
- 2:41:51SPEAKER_09: It was taken from the horde of the ancient Morthics of the mines of Winterforge.
- 2:41:59SPEAKER_21: Okay.
- 2:42:00SPEAKER_21: Uh this one, he looks it over and he's like, this is not much more than just a very good axe.
- 2:42:09SPEAKER_09: Still.
- 2:42:10SPEAKER_21: Alright.
- 2:42:11SPEAKER_09: When you add your your fare cost to your market value.
- 2:42:17SPEAKER_21: Well, I will offer you roughly, I'll offer you 300 for this.
- 2:42:24SPEAKER_09: 300?
- 2:42:25SPEAKER_21: Hmm.
- 2:42:26SPEAKER_09: Plus his 400.
- 2:42:28SPEAKER_09: Yeah, what's the next thing?
- 2:42:29SPEAKER_05: 540, 950.
- 2:42:32SPEAKER_09: Okay, so 840.
- 2:42:33SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 2:42:34SPEAKER_09: Um what was the next thing?
- 2:42:36SPEAKER_09: There was the Archeon Blade, which you guys want me to read about it.
- 2:42:39SPEAKER_09: Does it make it?
- 2:42:40SPEAKER_09: That's the 200 sword, isn't it?
- 2:42:41SPEAKER_09: It's a great sword, which I think really only Drax can use.
- 2:42:45SPEAKER_22: And he doesn't want to be.
- 2:42:52SPEAKER_23: And he's designed around a hammer.
- 2:42:53SPEAKER_23: He's designed around a hammer.
- 2:42:55SPEAKER_23: What the hell?
- 2:42:55SPEAKER_23: What does this thing do?
- 2:42:56SPEAKER_23: It's plus three.
- 2:42:57SPEAKER_23: It's awesome.
- 2:42:59SPEAKER_23: Drax is plus three.
- 2:43:01SPEAKER_22: Let me look it up.
- 2:43:02SPEAKER_22: This is not a plus one.
- 2:43:04SPEAKER_21: The Archeon Blade is awesome.
- 2:43:05SPEAKER_21: Really?
- 2:43:06SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 2:43:06SPEAKER_21: Why?
- 2:43:07SPEAKER_21: What does it do?
- 2:43:08SPEAKER_09: It is an orange item.
- 2:43:11SPEAKER_09: Great sword.
- 2:43:12unknown: Okay.
- 2:43:12SPEAKER_09: You gain a plus one bonus attack damage roles made with this weapon.
- 2:43:16SPEAKER_09: Uh, you are immune to effects of that turn undead.
- 2:43:19SPEAKER_09: It has dark blessing.
- 2:43:20SPEAKER_09: While holding the sword, you can use an action to give yourself 1d4 plus 4 temporary hit points.
- 2:43:24SPEAKER_09: Cannot be used again until the next dusk.
- 2:43:27SPEAKER_09: Disheartening strike, when you hit a creature with an attack using this weapon, you can fill the target with unsettling dread.
- 2:43:32SPEAKER_09: The target has disadvantage on the next saving throw it makes before the end of your next turn.
- 2:43:36SPEAKER_09: Creature ignores this effect if it is immune to the frightened condition.
- 2:43:39SPEAKER_09: Once you use this item, you cannot use it till the next dusk.
- 2:43:42SPEAKER_09: Interesting, it's not gone.
- 2:43:45SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 2:43:46SPEAKER_22: It's a night weapon, right?
- 2:43:48SPEAKER_10: It's just an interesting great sword.
- 2:43:50SPEAKER_22: He drags though.
- 2:43:55SPEAKER_22: Because he's got crushes.
- 2:43:57SPEAKER_22: Yeah.
- 2:43:57SPEAKER_22: Right.
- 2:43:58SPEAKER_22: So we just.
- 2:43:58unknown: Yeah.
- 2:43:59SPEAKER_09: So if that's an item none of us think we can make use of.
- 2:44:03SPEAKER_23: I don't know.
- 2:44:04SPEAKER_23: It seems like I could use that.
- 2:44:06SPEAKER_14: Oh yeah, totally.
- 2:44:07SPEAKER_09: It's totally a great floor of five years or a hundred.
- 2:44:14SPEAKER_09: Improvise, throwing weapon.
- 2:44:15SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 2:44:16SPEAKER_09: Alright, so she's gonna bring that out.
- 2:44:18SPEAKER_21: Okay.
- 2:44:19SPEAKER_21: Ah, um, well, I don't have much use for weapons.
- 2:44:27SPEAKER_21: I've already purchased a great axe from you.
- 2:44:30SPEAKER_21: Uh as you can see, I am uh there are weapons here?
- 2:44:34SPEAKER_21: There is, yes, there is a weaponsmith here.
- 2:44:36SPEAKER_21: You uh maybe we should forward first then.
- 2:44:40SPEAKER_23: If you like.
- 2:44:41SPEAKER_23: I don't know.
- 2:44:42SPEAKER_21: If it sounds like you don't want these items.
- 2:44:45SPEAKER_21: I would rather not be buying items that I can't use, or it would be awkward for me to resell.
- 2:44:54SPEAKER_21: Do you have anything armor-wise?
- 2:44:57SPEAKER_09: I do not.
- 2:45:00SPEAKER_09: Beyond regular, unenchanted leather.
- 2:45:03SPEAKER_21: What about his armor?
- 2:45:04SPEAKER_21: Oh no, he's not drunk.
- 2:45:05SPEAKER_21: He's a drunk.
- 2:45:08SPEAKER_21: Never mind.
- 2:45:09SPEAKER_21: Never mind.
- 2:45:10SPEAKER_02: And I wouldn't give him my armor.
- 2:45:11SPEAKER_21: No, you would not.
- 2:45:14SPEAKER_22: He just wants to go to crit you.
- 2:45:17SPEAKER_02: He doesn't even know who I am.
- 2:45:18SPEAKER_22: Well, I have my regular breastplate, so it would only be worth some gold bearer.
- 2:45:22SPEAKER_22: Yeah, that'd be pennies.
- 2:45:24SPEAKER_22: Yeah.
- 2:45:25SPEAKER_22: And it's used.
- 2:45:26SPEAKER_09: Do we want to go to the weapons?
- 2:45:28SPEAKER_09: Yeah, why don't we go to the weapons?
- 2:45:29SPEAKER_09: Would you rather us uh take the axe to the weapons mix change so that you don't have to worry about it?
- 2:45:36SPEAKER_21: That would be ideal.
- 2:45:36SPEAKER_21: It's not quite working.
- 2:45:38SPEAKER_05: We will we'll take the we'll take the axe there.
- 2:45:40SPEAKER_05: Thank you very much for your time, and you will see us again.
- 2:45:43SPEAKER_19: Oh, I uh can't wait.
- 2:45:45SPEAKER_05: Yes, I got the lakey.
- 2:45:52SPEAKER_09: You make pretty things.
- 2:45:54SPEAKER_09: How scenarium pays its debts.
- 2:45:56SPEAKER_22: How close are they?
- 2:45:58SPEAKER_09: We are merchants.
- 2:45:59SPEAKER_07: You're still 700 away.
- 2:46:00SPEAKER_07: Yeah, well, we have to go to Weapons Smith.
- 2:46:01SPEAKER_07: Yeah, we have to go to the Weaponsmith now.
- 2:46:03SPEAKER_07: Trump, trop, trop, trop, trump.
- 2:46:05SPEAKER_07: Over to the weaponsmith.
- 2:46:06SPEAKER_09: Hello.
- 2:46:06SPEAKER_07: You did mention the helm too.
- 2:46:08SPEAKER_09: Yeah, that's her first.
- 2:46:10SPEAKER_09: I never offered to give it up for you.
- 2:46:12SPEAKER_09: She can just wear it and have it look pretty.
- 2:46:13SPEAKER_09: It's not for me.
- 2:46:14SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I'm not attuned to it, but I'm still wearing it.
- 2:46:19SPEAKER_08: It's still on my head.
- 2:46:20SPEAKER_08: Just because it looks pretty much.
- 2:46:21SPEAKER_08: Definitely not for me.
- 2:46:22SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 2:46:23SPEAKER_21: Okay, you walk in and there is the sound of a forge roaring in the background.
- 2:46:30SPEAKER_21: And you can see there's uh two elves in the back of the shop, and they are creating weapons, bashing on steel.
- 2:46:40SPEAKER_21: And then up front there is uh an elf, and he's an older elf, and he's got spectacles that are down on the end of his nose, and he's sitting behind the counter and he's writing notes.
- 2:46:51SPEAKER_21: He's got this big long feather quill, and he's writing notes in a ledger.
- 2:46:54SPEAKER_21: And you walk in and he looks up over his glasses at you.
- 2:46:58SPEAKER_21: Can I help you?
- 2:46:59SPEAKER_09: Are you the master smith?
- 2:47:01SPEAKER_21: I once was the master smith.
- 2:47:03SPEAKER_21: Now I just run the forge.
- 2:47:06SPEAKER_21: My apprentices back there do all the smithing.
- 2:47:09SPEAKER_09: Once a master, always a master.
- 2:47:11SPEAKER_21: You know our craft well.
- 2:47:14SPEAKER_21: What can I do for you all?
- 2:47:18SPEAKER_09: We are being sent.
- 2:47:21SPEAKER_09: We've been tasked with going into the city by General Arendelle.
- 2:47:26SPEAKER_09: And to do that we need to procure.
- 2:47:28SPEAKER_09: We're looking to procure some items.
- 2:47:31SPEAKER_09: And we're looking to maybe um sell some items that perhaps my compatriots could use that we currently do not need.
- 2:47:40SPEAKER_21: Oh, okay.
- 2:47:41SPEAKER_21: What or what are you looking to sell?
- 2:47:43SPEAKER_09: I'm gonna produce the Great Axe first.
- 2:47:45SPEAKER_21: Ah, yes, okay.
- 2:47:46SPEAKER_21: Yes, yes, we'll take that.
- 2:47:47SPEAKER_21: The steel.
- 2:47:49SPEAKER_21: We probably would not be able to sell it to any elf, but we could probably melt down the steel and use it for something.
- 2:47:55SPEAKER_09: It's worth it, yeah.
- 2:47:56SPEAKER_09: And then I'm gonna produce the Archeon Blade.
- 2:47:58SPEAKER_19: Oh, very interesting.
- 2:47:59SPEAKER_09: Both these items came from the Horde of Morphics, the dragon.
- 2:48:03SPEAKER_19: Yes.
- 2:48:04SPEAKER_19: Do you know much about this blade that you have?
- 2:48:06SPEAKER_09: I know it's very interesting.
- 2:48:09SPEAKER_19: It is very interesting.
- 2:48:10SPEAKER_19: And it is a cursed weapon.
- 2:48:12SPEAKER_21: I don't know if you knew this or not.
- 2:48:14SPEAKER_09: Oh, very.
- 2:48:15SPEAKER_09: That is very interesting.
- 2:48:16SPEAKER_09: I did not know that.
- 2:48:19SPEAKER_21: It is not something I typically will deal with, because I cannot melt it down for scrap.
- 2:48:24SPEAKER_21: It is a magical item.
- 2:48:26SPEAKER_21: But considering the scrap cost of the axe and this blade, um I could give you 700 gold for both.
- 2:48:41SPEAKER_09: 700?
- 2:48:43SPEAKER_09: That's what we need, right?
- 2:48:45SPEAKER_07: Um no, that was if we were if he had already agreed to 300 for the axe.
- 2:48:51SPEAKER_07: So it was another 700 on top of that.
- 2:48:53SPEAKER_09: I don't know.
- 2:48:54SPEAKER_09: Because he had 500.
- 2:48:55SPEAKER_05: I have 540.
- 2:48:57SPEAKER_09: Oh, we need that 700.
- 2:48:59unknown: Yeah.
- 2:49:00SPEAKER_22: Well, I can take it anyway.
- 2:49:02SPEAKER_22: Yeah, take it anyway.
- 2:49:04SPEAKER_22: That puts us at 1240.
- 2:49:06SPEAKER_22: Okay, well, we may well agree.
- 2:49:07SPEAKER_22: Can we negotiate him down to 1240?
- 2:49:09SPEAKER_22: We're gonna negotiate him up.
- 2:49:13SPEAKER_09: You're trying to sell it for less.
- 2:49:15SPEAKER_09: It's a cursed item.
- 2:49:16SPEAKER_09: We're like, no, no, no, I'm talking about the armor.
- 2:49:18SPEAKER_07: No, that's that was like he he was like giving it barely over what it cost him for materials, and that's not even counting his time.
- 2:49:26SPEAKER_07: You're not gonna insult a master.
- 2:49:28SPEAKER_07: We don't want to do that.
- 2:49:28SPEAKER_07: No, we're we're at 1240 now.
- 2:49:30SPEAKER_22: We're getting closer.
- 2:49:30SPEAKER_22: That's too many.
- 2:49:32SPEAKER_09: Well, we will we will sell the items.
- 2:49:33SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 2:49:34SPEAKER_23: Very good.
- 2:49:34SPEAKER_23: And he just takes them.
- 2:49:35SPEAKER_09: Is there anything anyone else?
- 2:49:37SPEAKER_23: I honestly just want to get some darts.
- 2:49:39SPEAKER_23: Drops the added darts.
- 2:49:40SPEAKER_23: It doesn't even common ones would be fine, but if there is nice.
- 2:49:43SPEAKER_21: Like what kind of darts?
- 2:49:45SPEAKER_21: Like just like blow darts?
- 2:49:46SPEAKER_23: Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
- 2:49:48SPEAKER_23: Throwing darts.

- 2:50:27SPEAKER_21: Uh and he says, yeah, I suppose uh uh have any that you want.
- 2:50:30SPEAKER_21: Uh five gold pieces for a set of ten.
- 2:50:32SPEAKER_23: Are these more than regular darts, or is that just the normal price?
- 2:50:37SPEAKER_21: Uh no, these are elven steel.
- 2:50:38SPEAKER_21: These are elven steel darts.
- 2:50:41SPEAKER_21: Okay, we're gonna five gold.
