  This is not a story that ends well.
• 0:03
  This is not a story about wishes.
• 0:07
  The wishes I'm sure there will be.
• 0:11
  This is a story that has been lost to time.
• 0:15
  This is a story of the way the world ended the last time.
• 0:22
  This is a story of the Wizards 3.
• 0:25
  But most of all, this is a story about luck.
• 0:29
  Welcome to dice size. This is AD and D audio budget
• 0:31
  podcast where we tell bite sized dice are toy stores.
• 0:35
  And today we will be diving into a very special flashback into
• 0:38
  the past of Cassie's mother, now goddess, but once immortal, we
• 0:43
  will see exactly how that occurred.
• 0:45
  But before we get there and all the other ether eggs and other
• 0:48
  secrets, let's get to intros. This is me, your DM Rob
• 0:51
  Whitehead and with me as always my lovely table of friends and
• 0:53
  family. Here we have George.
• 0:55
  Hey, it's Gene not playing Parable today.
• 0:57
  Playing EZ the odd I am called as by those close but odd from
• 1:03
  afar. As there is a odd is a name I've
• 1:06
  been known by, but many call me the Spirit of the West.
• 1:09
  Known to move mountains and bend rivers to right the way of
• 1:12
  things. The cosmos are connected and us,
• 1:15
  we are just conduits to its energies.
• 1:17
  I am quite a capable conduit. I may have left most of myself
• 1:21
  behind when I took my path of immortality, but a Jinn walks
• 1:25
  the noble path. As the river winds and the
• 1:28
  fields flow. I am the rain and wind that
• 1:31
  grows. There was a time before all of
• 1:33
  this. I was different.
• 1:35
  Once offered as a child to the pools, the cycle, and after
• 1:39
  knowing the place beyond places, it changes the core.
• 1:43
  I am Jin and I am a Wizard of the elements.
• 1:48
  So many ether eggs in that man. So many ether eggs.
• 1:51
  What the hell, That was so good. Very excited to be playing a
• 1:54
  wizard and a subclass that matches I think the jinn
• 1:58
  elements of my character. Yeah, well, illusionist, right,
• 2:02
  Correct. Yes, Yeah, Yeah.
• 2:04
  High level illusionist are just like this exists.
• 2:08
  That feels right for yeah. Yeah, everything's just held
• 2:10
  together by just but but a wish. In the womb, Oh my God, but a
• 2:19
  wish in my womb. Poof, got it.
• 2:20
  Here it is for you, listener, This story now moving on to the
• 2:25
  next in our lovely intros, Maya. Hey, it's Maya.
• 2:28
  You can call me Maya. I will be playing Ozrien every
• 2:33
  Kroner, G Savant and Wizard of Time, but you can call him Oz.
• 2:37
  He is tall, lanky, white haired, humanoid.
• 2:42
  He's got young features when we first meet him, but his eyes
• 2:46
  seem to have seen more years than he's willing to admit.
• 2:49
  He looks tired, but he's sharp and he.
• 2:52
  Will not be rushed. So good.
• 2:57
  Yeah, he's made a name for himself in the local village or
• 3:00
  like surrounding area, wherever you decide to land us as the
• 3:05
  Sage of the East. And he serves as a pseudo
• 3:07
  Oracle, giving vague advice about time and soothing worries
• 3:11
  of those who seek his counsel. So.
• 3:14
  Nice, he's already practicing the cult leader thing.
• 3:17
  Love it. Allegedly.
• 3:18
  Allegedly. They're.
• 3:19
  Just he's helping, right? They chose to come to him, he
• 3:24
  gave them advice and what they do with that advice is on them.
• 3:29
  No accountability here, no. Accountability in the slightest.
• 3:32
  Welcome Asri and every. I will try to say it as slow as
• 3:36
  possible, but I have a story to get to.
• 3:38
  So without further ado, let's get to my lovely wife, Savannah.
• 3:42
  Sav here. Today I will be playing Soraya
• 3:45
  Sarian, otherwise known as Cassie's mother and the Wizard
• 3:48
  Luck. She's an astral elf and School
• 3:51
  of Divination wizard, so she strives to part the veils of
• 3:54
  space-time and consciousness. And as far as looks, Soraya is
• 3:59
  ethereal. Her skin is a billion shades of
• 4:02
  piercingly icy Blues and purples, but somehow she only
• 4:06
  ever exudes warmth and comfort and kindness through every
• 4:10
  movement and word. She was once an explorer of the
• 4:14
  vast unknown, but 50 years ago, Soraya arrived here on Atlas,
• 4:20
  where she's found a brief respite and sense of peace in a
• 4:23
  new home on a new planet. And here she spends her time
• 4:27
  singing with the stars to divine answers for the good of those
• 4:30
  who wish to know their own potential.
• 4:33
  Despite the goodness that surrounds her, she feels a near
• 4:36
  constant presence of darkness, manifesting as anxious thoughts
• 4:40
  about whether or not this new home will meet the same bait as
• 4:44
  the ones she's left behind. Much like mother, like daughter,
• 4:49
  the apple did not seem to fall far from this tree, but it seems
• 4:53
  to be like a a very sturdy tree, having survived with what sounds
• 4:57
  like the fallings of multiple worlds, and having made her way
• 5:01
  to one that seems to be lasting. Atlas, a world that has seen
• 5:06
  enough breaking that it's found some way to be stable.
• 5:10
  Let's hope. I'm sure that must be a point of
• 5:13
  curiosity. She's hopeful.
• 5:15
  Welcome, Soraya Sarian. I appreciate the luck that you
• 5:19
  bring us in our story tonight. Luck is merely believing you
• 5:23
  were lucky. She's ready tonight, folks.
• 5:26
  With that, let's get to not necessarily a recap, just a
• 5:30
  cold, strong start y'all. Let's get it.
• 5:34
  We join each of our heroes for the first time as they all
• 5:38
  arrive independently to a village in the northern ranges
• 5:41
  of a continent known only as Corinth, in a small port town
• 5:45
  called Feathergale. Each of our Wizards may have
• 5:49
  different motivations, but their quests are all one and the same
• 5:52
  unbeknownst to each other. Drawn by lore, legend and recent
• 5:56
  news of supposed sightings of a ship that fell from the sky,
• 6:01
  they each have come in search of the famed Flying Oath singer
• 6:06
  once captained by the fearsome pirate Lord known only as Spell
• 6:10
  Beard Whipping. Winter winds and curtains of
• 6:16
  snowflakes falling sideways greet you as you arrive to this
• 6:19
  cold and frigid place. Titanic sized evergreens dot the
• 6:23
  cracked ridges that surround Feathergale on three sides, with
• 6:27
  open waters on the northern side leading to the Atlassian Ocean.
• 6:31
  Sheltered from the frigidly cold and biting winds by the natural
• 6:34
  windbreaks of forest and cliffside, this small town is
• 6:38
  able to keep the northern Bay waters unfrozen during sun
• 6:42
  season. It is not sun season.
• 6:45
  The rest of the year is spent ice fishing and crafting goods
• 6:48
  for sale during sun season. Each of you give me a skill
• 6:50
  check here and now, and any skill check you want and you
• 6:53
  just got to have proficiency or expertise in it.
• 6:56
  And this will be to better tell us how you may have gathered
• 6:58
  Intel about this quest to find this legendary flying ship once
• 7:03
  captained by a fearsome pirate Lord, supposedly having gone
• 7:06
  lost and crashed in this frigid, frigid northern wasteland.
• 7:10
  Where I rolled a 23 insight. As rolled a 29 nature check.
• 7:16
  Cool as. Rolled A21.
• 7:19
  History. Cool.
• 7:21
  We will start with the 21 history.
• 7:24
  With that, you know that you are in a town called Feathergale, in
• 7:28
  a continent known as Corn. It is famous for very few things
• 7:32
  but famous for those things they're fish and one good that
• 7:37
  they craft which is Otter skins or furs rather fur trade.
• 7:42
  Basically most come from otters. You also know that there is
• 7:46
  supposedly a a sacred place in the mountains that have similar
• 7:51
  to you as a sage of the sage sage of the West.
• 7:56
  Excuse me, I'm trying to get that wrong.
• 7:58
  As a Sage of the East, you know that there are also supposedly
• 8:01
  another couple of sages in the mountains.
• 8:03
  I don't think you know exactly the details with that check, but
• 8:06
  you know that they're rumored and somewhere around here.
• 8:09
  Oh, a sacred place in the mountains, you said?
• 8:11
  Yes, supposedly. Sacred place in the mountain.
• 8:14
  This place is famous for the fur trade and fish and specifically
• 8:16
  otters in terms of the fur trade.
• 8:18
  Lastly, that you're definitely spot on.
• 8:21
  There were recent sightings of a falling ship that has fallen
• 8:25
  from the sky, specifically by an old woman and a young boy in the
• 8:30
  town of Featherdale. You have only the name of the
• 8:34
  young boy, which is apparently Dragon Adventure.
• 8:37
  Love that for his Name is Dragon Adventure.
• 8:40
  His name is Dragon Adventure. Apparently like that.
• 8:42
  That's kind of how the the news spread so wide and far.
• 8:44
  It's like, no, the little boy that can't shut up about it.
• 8:47
  His name is Dragon Adventure. And then the flying ship is kind
• 8:51
  of like a side note. Got it.
• 8:53
  OK, cool Soraya, with your 23 insights, you feel all that and
• 9:00
  just know it by instinct. Something within the song of the
• 9:04
  Stars above this place plays out it's history to you.
• 9:07
  As you consider your quest before you to find this famously
• 9:12
  legendary ship. Where might you go about it and
• 9:15
  how might you do it? People of this land, of course,
• 9:18
  would be helpful, but would it be wise to bring them into what
• 9:22
  your adventures often turn out to be dangerous?
• 9:25
  There's of course the natural ways of the land, which you
• 9:29
  you've always understood instinctually as an astral elf
• 9:32
  being, you're kind of in touch with the movement of the
• 9:34
  multiverse. More so than that, you as an
• 9:37
  individual have learned to extend that to nature.
• 9:40
  So accessing the nature around and something in your spirit,
• 9:44
  says otters. Seeking out an Otter species
• 9:47
  might be a way to gain further information.
• 9:51
  Looking For more information about the ship that fell?
• 9:53
  Yes as like a way to follow up something your instinct says I
• 9:56
  could go talk to an Otter and they might know more interesting
• 9:59
  instinct is often interesting. Lastly, you feel more than
• 10:04
  anything this kind of draw to Co practitioners of divination.
• 10:09
  Maybe you've heard of the oracles of Corinth.
• 10:13
  Three, at times old, at times young, at times middling women
• 10:18
  who are supposed reincarnations of fate, and they exist in a
• 10:23
  sacred place upon a hilltop in the Corinthian mountains, which
• 10:26
  is where you are all now. Not the hilltop, but we are in
• 10:29
  Corinth, in the mountains, correct?
• 10:31
  Well, that's exciting. Those are kind of the leads that
• 10:33
  you have ahead of you. Interesting.
• 10:36
  To be clear, you also felt like the maybe you don't.
• 10:39
  It's up to you whether you have the details of dragon adventure,
• 10:42
  but you also have it in your head.
• 10:43
  You can go talk to someone in town similar to Time.
• 10:45
  Cool, so Oz Soraya AS29 what? 29 Nature check.
• 10:53
  You're going to talk to otters for.
• 10:54
  Sure, I I imagine if I have you've already.
• 10:59
  Spoken to the otters. I imagine that I've arrived here
• 11:02
  earlier in the day and I have the the lid off my lamp.
• 11:06
  Just been meditating. And I'm, I'm basking in my
• 11:09
  little holding lamp. I've got a whole living room
• 11:11
  down in there with like a a bunk up in the pore spout.
• 11:14
  Very, very cool in your little bottle of respite as you lay
• 11:18
  there with your 29 nature. Like set up like you're.
• 11:22
  Definitely going Otter. I'm like set up on like a little
• 11:25
  stump, yeah, just some random stump, a lamp to sit in there.
• 11:28
  You feel within you a connection to the water that you have
• 11:32
  always felt that feels strengthened by these
• 11:35
  conditions, harsh though they may be, and the stone within you
• 11:38
  2 sings at the mountains around you.
• 11:42
  You are at more peace than you have been in a long time, having
• 11:45
  been raised in the desert, a place that does not ask much for
• 11:50
  stone, at least not as solid as you are, or have the space for
• 11:55
  much water. But here you have space for
• 11:57
  yourself in all aspects. I think because I'm tiny in this
• 12:01
  little lamp, I think a big old raindrop dewdrop drips off the
• 12:05
  leaf and comes because I have my lid open.
• 12:07
  Yeah. So I'm like chilling on the
• 12:08
  dewdrop just looking up at that. As you look up at the sky that
• 12:13
  it actually I don't think you could get a raindrop out right
• 12:16
  now. It would be a giant snowflake in
• 12:18
  the conditions that you are in right now as these northern
• 12:21
  ranges are much too frigid for rain to get down.
• 12:24
  Perhaps a hail on a sun season day.
• 12:27
  However, it is like I said, not sun season.
• 12:30
  As the snow pours in, perhaps it melts enough upon your boat to
• 12:34
  make a big drop upon you, but the sky above is frigid and
• 12:40
  cold. And with that 29 nature again.
• 12:44
  With this check being in mind to seek out this ship you feel in
• 12:48
  terms of nature and how nature observed it.
• 12:52
  Five bright points within what I would imagine you see as like
• 12:57
  this network in ahead of you magically at 1st and then it
• 13:00
  converges with the flow of the natural world and the vital
• 13:04
  auras that exist within. Everything from the aura of
• 13:08
  grass, the aura of stone, the aura of water, all of it mixing
• 13:11
  at different points till you get to the aura of Otter and five
• 13:17
  break points. As I said, you can decide what
• 13:19
  the nature form of these names are, but you hear the names of
• 13:24
  Jitter, Wobble, biter, Bartholomew and Parsley, Jitter,
• 13:28
  Wobble, Biter, Biter, Bartholomew, Bartholomew and
• 13:32
  Parsley, Parsley, your wobble, bitter, bitter, Barthol, Biter,
• 13:37
  biter, biter, biter. Wait, there's a bitter and a
• 13:40
  biter. No, not a bitter and a biter.
• 13:41
  No, I just. That's why.
• 13:42
  But. Jitter, wobble, Biter,
• 13:45
  Bartholomew and. You like snap out of this new
• 13:48
  like meditative vision as you you, you actually have the
• 13:51
  feeling of one of the sibling otters getting their hand
• 13:54
  bitten, their Paul bitten as if they make the mistake of calling
• 13:58
  biter bitter and you snap out. But you, you know with that
• 14:01
  check their exact location, you can follow up with them very
• 14:04
  easily and you hear them arguing amongst one another.
• 14:07
  You get flashes of the conversations they've had about
• 14:10
  this ship, and no, it's definitely going to fly.
• 14:13
  I'm going to fly again. There's no way it can fly again.
• 14:16
  That thing came down so freaking fast, buddy.
• 14:18
  I'm telling you. I'm telling you.
• 14:20
  Look at me right now, Butter. Look at me right now, Butter.
• 14:23
  As my name is Bartholomew, I will see that ship fly once
• 14:26
  more. I will.
• 14:27
  I bet Parsley, you believe me, you'll learn to talk one day.
• 14:33
  It's fine. And the conversation continues
• 14:35
  amongst Jitter, Wobble, Biter, Botharamu and Parsley as they
• 14:39
  talk about a ship that they seem to have directly observed fall.
• 14:42
  Amazing. I think it looks like somebody
• 14:45
  in their living room trying to take a nap.
• 14:47
  Kind of kick back, beat up. Imagine now a snowflake instead
• 14:50
  of a dewdrop. So I'm chilling on my snowflake
• 14:55
  and looking up and goes off for a second and I wake up like I
• 15:00
  heard a chord again. All right, I got to find the
• 15:02
  notes and I use minor illusion to kind of make a digital
• 15:06
  looking map of where I'm at. Cool.
• 15:09
  And I just poke the five points with I did the light them up.
• 15:14
  And then I collapse the whole image and I jump out of my lamp,
• 15:17
  which looks like a little person jumping out of a lamp and then
• 15:19
  turning big. And in this landing I hook the
• 15:23
  lamp on my my robe, my silver and purple robe belt and comb my
• 15:28
  silver and purple hair and start to walk towards the knowns.
• 15:31
  Awesome. I think there's a perfect point
• 15:33
  to roll initiative here as we will see who gets to wear first.
• 15:40
  The 15 for ES. The 9 for oz.
• 15:43
  Or for Soraya. Well, with those roles, I think
• 15:47
  we let's get back to ES and the Otters, I would assume headed
• 15:50
  towards the otters. Yeah, and I'm going to be
• 15:53
  walking with my lamp down to the closest frozen body of water,
• 15:57
  and I'm going to reach my hand down and pass it over the bottom
• 16:01
  of my, honestly, I think bare feet.
• 16:04
  Yeah, Earth. You know, Noble Jin, that you
• 16:06
  are. You are one with the elements.
• 16:08
  Yeah, and I think I make ice skates and I start skating.
• 16:12
  Honestly, I didn't need them because I'm skating just above
• 16:14
  the ice and just like kind of floating on the wind.
• 16:16
  But I'm heading towards these, the feeling of these otters
• 16:19
  following the frequency of this connection that I had.
• 16:22
  Awesome. You quickly assess out their
• 16:23
  location and find them within a It's not a dam, but it's similar
• 16:29
  to 1 because it's in a large enough body of water that it
• 16:31
  wouldn't actually dam up anything, but it's near enough
• 16:34
  to the shore that it dams up, I guess, a small pool of water.
• 16:38
  They're a little bit eastern of the town.
• 16:40
  However they are rather near it, just underneath the ice, and as
• 16:45
  you have ice skated your way to right above their domain, which
• 16:49
  is made of frozen twigs and twine and dirt to the point
• 16:54
  where it becomes compact enough that it protects from the cold.
• 16:57
  What do you do as you sense them above their den?
• 17:00
  I want to use this role play wise investiture of ice pool.
• 17:04
  I'd love to use it and just kind of in a fun way, just sink below
• 17:09
  the ice. Cool.
• 17:10
  What does the spell actually do? Till the spell adds ice rims
• 17:13
  your body and you gain the following benefits.
• 17:16
  You are immune to cold and have resistance fire damage.
• 17:18
  You can move across difficult terrain created by ice or snow
• 17:21
  without spending extra movement. You know what, I might make you
• 17:25
  roll something here, but you actually as an Earth Janasi,
• 17:27
  also have a feature called Merge with Stone.
• 17:31
  Oh cool. Which again is just a stat block
• 17:33
  to represent your nobles, your nature.
• 17:34
  But it is primarily stone and water, and I think this is a
• 17:37
  perfect point for you to straight what a Janasi or a
• 17:40
  noble gin can do. In this case, as you drop down
• 17:45
  and you use that spell as like the framework to better pass
• 17:49
  through the ice and the stone, the den will fit you.
• 17:53
  It'll be a very tight squeeze amongst you and five otters as
• 17:56
  you drop down into it. OK.
• 17:58
  So like we're still in ice or is it in the water?
• 18:00
  Like they've built a den in the ice.
• 18:02
  They've built a den, but it's made of like, like I said,
• 18:04
  sticks and dirt. So I'm going to say that you're
• 18:06
  even able to pass through that, and you can pass through into
• 18:08
  the interior of the den if you like.
• 18:11
  I think it looks like me accessing that Jinasi and merge
• 18:14
  with stone mixed with this this ice spell just to flip
• 18:18
  underneath the ice. So I'm skating underneath it.
• 18:20
  Cool. And then I kind of ask through
• 18:23
  the entryway through the spot and I I'm going to disguise
• 18:26
  myself like an Otter, be talking to myself a little bit as like
• 18:29
  it's always better to work with them and then try to do
• 18:32
  something more than I need to. So let's just let's just let's
• 18:35
  do it. I snap my fingers.
• 18:36
  I turn into an Otter and I start walking towards where they're.
• 18:39
  OK, as you as you do so you enter the den and Biter Biter
• 18:44
  calm down as you have biter obviously snapping at you, but
• 18:48
  jitter is anxiously holding him back as he frantically bit, bit,
• 18:53
  bit. And wobble is just kind of
• 18:54
  sitting in a corner like like kind of rocking back and forth
• 18:57
  and eating some wood. I don't know what Otter seat.
• 19:00
  I assume clams they eat clams, undersea clams.
• 19:04
  And so that is what wobble is eating do.
• 19:06
  You want to play a game of clams and just talk about life?
• 19:09
  Yes, that would be I guess and that's that's what we do with
• 19:13
  guests. Do you?
• 19:14
  Have any shells I I could bring my own shells?
• 19:17
  I use minor illusion to. What do you want?
• 19:20
  We sat down to a game and we were doing some sort of like
• 19:23
  imagine Otter poker with these, these shells.
• 19:26
  And like, yeah, I was just looking for work in the area for
• 19:30
  any kind of ship repair, just passing through.
• 19:33
  It's what I do for a living. Well, Biter, there's that ship
• 19:37
  that went down. I guess we we could tell him
• 19:39
  about like the thing. They sit down to play shells.
• 19:43
  I I elbow. What was his name?
• 19:45
  Jitter. Jitter.
• 19:46
  Yeah, Jitter's freaking out right now because he he's had a
• 19:48
  a crazy losing streak to Bartholomew, who you are sitting
• 19:52
  and sit down to play against right now.
• 19:54
  He says Bartholomew is one of the best ones ever.
• 19:56
  You've never seen Bartholomew play clams, and he plays clams
• 19:59
  like the best. At least he doesn't take the
• 20:01
  skin off your back like all those losers out in the town,
• 20:04
  right? Bartholomew gets like almost
• 20:07
  soprano serious as he looks at you over a hand of clams and
• 20:10
  says, So you know about the skin tread, eh?
• 20:13
  That's not his voice at all, but it's.
• 20:14
  Got to be right now. It has to be, yeah.
• 20:16
  It's something that I've been avoiding for quite a while.
• 20:19
  I'm just looking to get into the ship business.
• 20:21
  Oh, that's not Bartholomew. That was this is me Parsley.
• 20:24
  I'm the one that's that's really starting to pick up on the fact
• 20:28
  that, yeah, there is a skin tread and I'm not sure if I'm
• 20:30
  into it. Yeah, I mean, I would really
• 20:32
  wouldn't be either. I mean, I'd be looking to work
• 20:34
  with ships. You guys see it?
• 20:35
  Any ships around here recently? There's that one that crashed.
• 20:38
  You're not talking about that. They've been.
• 20:39
  They've been betting about it, you stupid idiots.
• 20:42
  The. Game is to talk about skiing in
• 20:44
  the game. I mean, if we wanted to step
• 20:46
  away from the skins though and start working on those ships,
• 20:49
  where might I find that that ship you're talking?
• 20:51
  About you tell me, you give me, you give me info on on this
• 20:54
  year's skin trade and how I can get an in on it and or maybe
• 20:56
  disrupt it a little bit, get myself some business money.
• 20:59
  You tell me about it. You could not let them have your
• 21:02
  skins. They freak out as they would and
• 21:06
  they. Yeah, they relate to that.
• 21:08
  They saw a ship that seems to have fallen from the sky and
• 21:12
  dropped into about 3000 feet out into the Bay.
• 21:15
  And, you know, through their arguments, you hear the exact
• 21:17
  locations. They're like, don't tell them.
• 21:18
  And they're like for this much. And they're all philosophically
• 21:22
  destroyed in their minds. Yeah, I think I I immediately
• 21:25
  stand up, leave, turn into the genie form of myself and I say
• 21:29
  strength is in the choices that you.
• 21:31
  Know OK they have many choices left out of them.
• 21:34
  You get their location and have a zeroed in pinpoint on where
• 21:39
  the ship lay as you leave you don't hear them say a number of
• 21:45
  things that are like well what about the dragon that's there We
• 21:50
  should we could have told them about that right?
• 21:54
  What about the, oh, the fact that you can't access it because
• 21:57
  it's buried underneath thousands of miles of No, he doesn't.
• 22:00
  It's fine. Not 1000.
• 22:02
  It's like that. I can't count.
• 22:03
  It's like 10 feet of it's 20 feet of ice.
• 22:06
  You know, I can't count. As they all fight amongst
• 22:08
  themselves. Yeah, you definitely pinpoint
• 22:10
  the ship and you're on the way. There's a fucking dragon.
• 22:15
  Or could it be dragon? That's what I'm thinking, that
• 22:17
  they got it wrong. And I don't like social
• 22:19
  situations. I don't think I'd flush that
• 22:20
  out. I think I'd leave right away as
• 22:22
  soon as I knew it. I was just looking for where the
• 22:23
  ship was. That's and I got it.
• 22:25
  Yeah. And I think I'd literally take
• 22:26
  off this guy's self as I'm leaving and turn back into this
• 22:30
  purple robed genie like full size as I'm going back up
• 22:33
  through the ice. So cool, we will cut away to
• 22:38
  wherever Ozri and every is Oz, where are you at?
• 22:43
  His is on the edge of town and not having a good time.
• 22:48
  He's very cold, I. Did not prepare for the
• 22:51
  situation. He's grumbling to himself.
• 22:53
  He's trudging through the snow and the ice packed hillside and
• 22:58
  just if. I wasn't saving energy for
• 23:01
  later. I might definitely will need.
• 23:04
  I would change the time to the sun season.
• 23:06
  This is absolutely. Ridiculous there.
• 23:10
  Yes, there was a a magical teleportation circle that was a
• 23:13
  couple miles away, which is unheard of in civilized region.
• 23:18
  You've I've teleported, you've teleported into the the King's
• 23:21
  chambers before, for God's God's sake.
• 23:23
  For a wizard to walk is just unheard of these days and I
• 23:27
  just. I cannot be bothered to use my
• 23:29
  energy if I know I will need later if we do encounter the
• 23:32
  spell beard. But oh, I must find this drastic
• 23:36
  young child dragon adventure. As he's just like mumbling to
• 23:40
  himself just so annoyed. Yeah, you, you 0 in.
• 23:45
  I love like you just like starting through like I imagine
• 23:49
  having lived such a long life, you almost have to like sort
• 23:52
  through your memories like files as you're going 1 by 1 by 1.
• 23:55
  And it's just like, like, oh this boy dragon dragon
• 23:59
  adventure, like you're reminding yourself with each, each
• 24:01
  revisiting. I must meet this child mother
• 24:04
  and tell her that it's just. Such an unfortunate name.
• 24:10
  He's just wandering towards the the town as he gets there.
• 24:16
  I am capable for perception that there's like a shop open or.
• 24:21
  With your history check, I think that you know that you're
• 24:24
  hitting like town at the right time for shops to be open, OK?
• 24:28
  They are not. Oh.
• 24:30
  But the the shop that supposedly had the young boy who cited
• 24:35
  things, that shop is closed. However, you know that family
• 24:39
  worked and lived there and that establishment is easy to find.
• 24:43
  It's known as the Rusty Flagon. There's a creaky old sign on the
• 24:47
  outside and as you find it, this might be a 2 room in tops with
• 24:52
  assuming one room might be for them to live.
• 24:55
  Their door is closed but there is a bell.
• 24:58
  What do you do as you find windows shuttered for likely
• 25:02
  what is the weather as the weather is turning harsher and
• 25:04
  harsher by the minute? He's just going to ring the bell
• 25:08
  like a. Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding.
• 25:13
  It's cold out here. Ding as you Ding Ding, Ding.
• 25:19
  Give me a perception check 1st 9:00 That's so funny.
• 25:24
  Give me a Dexterity save and throw.
• 25:27
  Save YEAH 19. 90. Dirty 20.
• 25:31
  Oh OK, we'll see. It does save you are not
• 25:35
  grappled by a young boy who drops down upon you who seems to
• 25:40
  have a mask made of wood and a white dragon with like blue
• 25:44
  streaks of lightning coloring the Dragons.
• 25:47
  It's very artistic and the mask has two slotted eyes that are
• 25:52
  cut out in it, which is all you can see of this boy's face as he
• 25:56
  says you're fast for an old man. I'll have you at your legs on
• 25:59
  the ground in a second and he goes for your legs.
• 26:03
  Damn it, that's in 10. Nope, as this little boy hits
• 26:07
  you with just like a tiny wooden sword that wouldn't have done
• 26:10
  damage even if it had. I imagine Oz's dodge looks like
• 26:14
  kind of a blur, like he blurs and then is in a different
• 26:18
  position next and he would just come out and say you silly.
• 26:24
  Time hears and sees all. What?
• 26:28
  What like like the concept? What be your name, child?
• 26:32
  No, you answer the question. Be your.
• 26:35
  Name Dragon Dragon Dragon Adventure.
• 26:37
  Perfect. Let me in this tiny cottage.
• 26:41
  Well, may I and the. Biggest building in town I'll
• 26:44
  have you know. Incredible.
• 26:46
  Is it warm? I guess we'll light the earth.
• 26:49
  Beautiful. He's.
• 26:50
  Kind of just like walking. As he walks in, he doesn't say
• 26:54
  mom or dad, which is funny. He says Miss Hubble as he walks
• 26:59
  in and a woman who you might assume to be his mother steps
• 27:03
  down bleary eyed as if just out of sleep.
• 27:06
  And she says, oh, my dear, welcome, welcome you.
• 27:09
  You must. You didn't tell me that a
• 27:11
  gentleman was arriving. Finally, the respect I deserve.
• 27:16
  Oh. Dragon, Dragon.
• 27:18
  But light the fire, dear. Light the fire.
• 27:20
  Would you see? Dragon adventure goes over the
• 27:22
  The hard thing goes. It's honey.
• 27:25
  It's not going to work. It's not going to.
• 27:27
  I'm a dragon, Miss Hubble. I promise you.
• 27:30
  One day, maybe right now I'm not very important, but one day I
• 27:33
  will be. And Dragons are cool.
• 27:35
  And there's one on the lake and I could be a dragon.
• 27:37
  Honey, would you just light the fire?
• 27:38
  I'm going to talk to our guest here.
• 27:39
  OK, fine. Sir, please.
• 27:44
  My name is Eleanor Hubble. Good to meet you.
• 27:48
  Good to meet you, Eleanor. Please, please call me.
• 27:51
  You're already calling me Eleanor.
• 27:53
  Yes. You can call me.
• 27:56
  Yes, good. Good to meet you.
• 27:58
  Yes, Eleanor, she. Quivers again.
• 28:01
  So fucking lonely. I too am alone often.
• 28:06
  Oh. Can you just, I guess, am I just
• 28:09
  radiating that? Yes, your desperation stinks.
• 28:16
  I'm here for news of a sighting. A ship may have fallen in these
• 28:22
  parts. I hear your son.
• 28:27
  Dragon Adventure. No, no, not my son.
• 28:30
  Oh, thank God. What kind of name is Dragon
• 28:34
  Adventure? Well, so The thing is, he named
• 28:36
  himself, and it was the biggest mistake I've ever made.
• 28:39
  Yes, yes, yes. This is what I'm saying.
• 28:42
  Children should not be allowed to have their own
• 28:43
  responsibilities. How?
• 28:45
  How does one child come upon the name Dragon Adventure?
• 28:50
  Well, so here's the thing, he's been orphaned since a young
• 28:53
  child. I don't even know where the poor
• 28:54
  boy came from. I just found him plopped here
• 28:57
  one day and I don't know he just I guess he was a baby and I felt
• 29:02
  sorry for him. But when he grew up and I said
• 29:05
  I've been calling you boy for so long, I maybe you should have a
• 29:09
  name. It was a mistake.
• 29:10
  I should have stuck with boy. Yes.
• 29:12
  Should have stuck with boy. Although I do understand that
• 29:15
  every child deserves the home. Anyways, I let him name himself.
• 29:18
  That's the problem. And you've been seeing the
• 29:20
  dragon, or I guess there's a dragon on the leg.
• 29:22
  He says. Don't believe a word he says.
• 29:24
  He's a liar. Dragon on the lake, you say?
• 29:27
  Yeah, if you ask him, he'd say ship's fall from the sky.
• 29:31
  Interesting, Eleanor, I am. It was.
• 29:34
  Actually a large bird. Stupid little kid.
• 29:38
  You know, Eleanor, I'm finding myself quite parched and quite
• 29:42
  cold. If you could offer such liquid
• 29:47
  to warm thyself, it would be much appreciated.
• 29:50
  Oh yes, she clapped. Dragon.
• 29:52
  Dragon. No, no, I only trust the hands
• 29:56
  of. You, Eleanor, to prepare my
• 29:59
  drink. Dragon.
• 30:01
  Come keep our. Come, keep our company.
• 30:02
  Company. Excuse me?
• 30:04
  I don't normally repeat words. I'm just nervous of that.
• 30:07
  Are you a wizard? I am.
• 30:11
  I could tell. And she sprints from the room,
• 30:15
  she goes to prepare some sort of warm drink for you as you have
• 30:17
  just dragon adventure. And he looks at you and says,
• 30:21
  what's a wizard? Oh boy, we will cover that in a
• 30:25
  later lesson. Today.
• 30:26
  I must know everything you know about a dragon, a ship, where it
• 30:32
  might be. I I believe you.
• 30:36
  He tells you like instantly. I think this is the give me a
• 30:40
  persuasion check with advantage. We'll see if the numbers agree
• 30:42
  with me. With advantage Yeah 25.
• 30:48
  Yeah, that, yeah, you just the way that you say it is space
• 30:51
  enough for him to unload his imagination, which seems to be
• 30:54
  grand. Now give me an insight or
• 30:57
  investigation check to see if you can discern what's going on
• 31:00
  in between it. Because the story involves
• 31:02
  Dragons fighting in the sky, and two Dragons clashed and they
• 31:07
  fought so grandly that they took the ship out of the sky. 11
• 31:11
  Inside, you're not quite able to discern the truth.
• 31:15
  Cool. Can I cast the tech Thoughts?
• 31:18
  Yeah, as a way to I'm hoping re kind of like see.
• 31:23
  What he had seen, in a way. Like a memory retrieval type?
• 31:26
  Vibe, he's calling it to the front of his mind, I think even
• 31:29
  without a save and with that insight, you can see that the
• 31:31
  Dragons there's, they're kind of fuzzing in and out of out of the
• 31:35
  memory as he's made them so true as to be real.
• 31:38
  And there's no ship that seems to be jutting out from the ice
• 31:42
  in his memory, but there is a single point of wood sticking
• 31:47
  out of a stretch of ice at bears a scrap of sail that seems to be
• 31:52
  prismatic in color, as if it's like not made of cloth, but
• 31:57
  rather made of something ephemeral.
• 32:00
  But it it whips in the wind like a flag, but is made of rainbow.
• 32:04
  I imagine as Oz like asks the Dragon adventure what his
• 32:12
  thoughts are. Dragon Adventure is like, I saw
• 32:15
  this and I saw this and I saw this and like he's just not
• 32:18
  listening to that and just detecting thoughts.
• 32:19
  Seeing the memory. We'll get up mid sentence and
• 32:22
  description of dragon adventure and say thank you job.
• 32:25
  I've heard enough and just turned on and leaves I love.
• 32:28
  The theme I'm just leaving after we got the information.
• 32:32
  He he like has a smile on his face for a second too long,
• 32:36
  having not realized that he'd just been used as you leave
• 32:40
  without a care for this child, a small poor boy named Dragon
• 32:44
  Adventure. I think as he's walking out the
• 32:47
  door before he leaves, he turns around with a feeling of
• 32:53
  camaraderie with this child of also having been an orphan.
• 32:56
  And just say and remember Dragon Adventure Time equals life.
• 33:06
  Therefore, waste your time and waste your life, or master your
• 33:11
  time and master your life, and he'll just shut the door and
• 33:14
  leave. Wow, as you leave him rocking
• 33:18
  with those words, I think that smile turns to a look of awe and
• 33:24
  perhaps less sad, perhaps more. I don't know.
• 33:26
  You decide, listener, as we cut from there to wherever Soraya
• 33:32
  Sarian is. Soraya is on a trail.
• 33:38
  She's headed to a hilltop where she's heard of there being a
• 33:43
  sacred place where the oracles of Corinth meet and gather.
• 33:49
  Yes, sacred place. With your check, I think you
• 33:54
  know that this place is literally not of this world.
• 33:59
  You somehow feel that in your insight look into what this area
• 34:03
  might have to offer in terms of seeking out this fallen flying
• 34:06
  ship. You know to look for signs of
• 34:10
  things that are not of this world and the trail that you
• 34:12
  walk upon. You've gotten a little hints and
• 34:15
  bits of it, but it's more the feel.
• 34:17
  You can feel the vein of astral ore that runs underneath you
• 34:23
  indicating that this place may be up here now but was not
• 34:28
  always. That speaks true to you as you 2
• 34:31
  feel of this world and not and as you walk amongst the
• 34:36
  mountains. Give me a perception check or
• 34:38
  arcana check. 26 Arcana. You hear these not as whispers,
• 34:45
  but as clear star song, somehow amplified by these mountains.
• 34:51
  This mountain range is one that acts as a magical resonance.
• 34:56
  You feel that resonance with the star song that you are hearing
• 35:00
  as the astroph that you are and as it radiates around these
• 35:04
  mountains only you hear the Symphony of power gathering here
• 35:08
  potential in these mountains. In this small tiny town of
• 35:13
  Feathergale, a place made to be calm amongst a torrent.
• 35:19
  You feel a torrent building here as you walk into the sacred
• 35:25
  place, cutting alongside of a steep and sheer cliffside that
• 35:30
  cuts down snow whipping around you, wind ever present.
• 35:35
  You suddenly find an alcove and light and flame ahead of you,
• 35:40
  and as you enter this hidden cavern within the mountains you
• 35:43
  quickly see smooth stone columns and other planned architecture.
• 35:50
  But more than anything, as you enter this place is a feeling of
• 35:53
  rowing inertia and momentum. It starts here, but something is
• 35:59
  building out there, and I think you even get in Clear Star Song
• 36:04
  bits of both Time and Wishes interactions, and they're very,
• 36:10
  very curious to you. I mean, it's a bunch of otters
• 36:13
  playing cards, Clams, clams, clams, clams.
• 36:16
  And then some sort of pretentious wizard speaking with
• 36:20
  an old woman and scraps of conversation with a young boy.
• 36:24
  But as you step into the sacred place, is there anything else
• 36:26
  that's going through your mind? Araya on the walk, feeling like
• 36:31
  she's on the right path, she takes a moment to close her eyes
• 36:35
  while she walks and put a hand on her heart and and say that
• 36:38
  out loud this is the right path. And as she gets nearer to The
• 36:43
  Cave, I'd imagine maybe she's hearing oracles, or not yet.
• 36:47
  You hear the flowing of water, which is odd, but it's it's
• 36:50
  echoing out from the cavern. You do not hear conversation
• 36:53
  amongst people. Soraya hums some of her star
• 36:58
  songs in the hopes not to startle anyone who she might
• 37:03
  come upon. As you enter with Star Song,
• 37:07
  somehow finding resonance with the environment that is chaotic
• 37:11
  and then suddenly smooth, you ease your entry and immediately
• 37:15
  feel a response. Give me another arcana or
• 37:18
  perhaps insight check to feel what is within this responsive
• 37:23
  song, the natural one. I'm so drawn.
• 37:27
  I know a natural one is supposed to be critical failure, but I'm
• 37:30
  so drawn because this is representative of something at
• 37:33
  play here. Your song is meant for oracles,
• 37:38
  ones that you would also define insight from.
• 37:42
  The song that you hear back is hollow.
• 37:46
  These aren't true oracles. And with a Nat one I will above
• 37:50
  table tell you as DM the player that I'm giving you correct
• 37:53
  information. I'm inspired to at that Nat one.
• 37:55
  It's just it. It's disappointing.
• 37:57
  It's like unfortunate. It's the worst case scenario.
• 38:00
  If you're in the situation, what you were drawn by, you realize
• 38:03
  is the pool between them. What is in their three hags that
• 38:07
  are pretending to be fates? But the pool holds power the.
• 38:11
  Pool holds power, the fates do not.
• 38:13
  OK. You hear?
• 38:15
  Ah, no, sisters, switch the voice.
• 38:19
  Welcome. You've come to the sacred pool.
• 38:24
  I can see that you are also a wise traveller, as we were once,
• 38:31
  but now others seek us out for answers, for answers, for
• 38:41
  answers. What?
• 38:43
  Be your question, child. Hello, I don't mean to interrupt
• 38:51
  you sisters. I am curious if you've noticed
• 38:57
  any curious happenings in the sky as of late?
• 39:03
  Oh, do you mean the odd boy in town he wishes to fly?
• 39:06
  He won't fly now though, sweetie.
• 39:08
  He flies, then he flies, then. The only thing that's been
• 39:13
  flying recently is that. Is that what you mean?
• 39:19
  While the hags are bickering with each other and Soraya sort
• 39:23
  of bend down at the pool as if thirsty or looking for a break
• 39:29
  and attempt to connect with the pool in some way.
• 39:33
  Give me a performance or deception check.
• 39:36
  They continue to bicker kind of unwisely so, as if trying to
• 39:39
  prove their their foresight. They speak of the the young boy
• 39:42
  in town named all things that you know, like just based on gut
• 39:45
  instinct. But they are kind of, I think
• 39:48
  even without a role, they seem like high, as if they're been
• 39:52
  taking little hits of the pool. And so they have received little
• 39:54
  bits of divine insight, but they are not built for it and seem to
• 39:59
  be have driven mad and created a hags coven throughout it.
• 40:03
  What is that performance check? I rolled A10 OK and as they
• 40:08
  finish up talking about the ship based on I agree, I say Yep,
• 40:12
  yes, yes. Tell me, tell me, what do you
• 40:14
  know? Ah.
• 40:16
  As you do so, I'm like with an 18, they do notice you as you're
• 40:20
  trying to be casual. One of them steps between you
• 40:22
  and says no, no, we have the answers.
• 40:24
  Not the pool, the ship, you say? Yes, it was in the sky, but it
• 40:30
  flew far, far away. At least that's what I saw.
• 40:34
  No, sister, I saw it here. They are conflicting about where
• 40:41
  and when, and you're unable to get like exact detail from them
• 40:44
  about where that ship fell. But they confirmed through
• 40:47
  arguments that it did indeed fall.
• 40:49
  Amazing, I'm going to cast mage hand to scoop water from an edge
• 40:53
  of the pool that's not hopefully within their sight.
• 40:57
  Give me an arcana check and I'll say with advantage due to the
• 41:00
  fact that you are distracting them by like working them up
• 41:02
  enough to talk about this. 28 Arcana.
• 41:06
  With the subtlety of a magician, you point their direction of
• 41:10
  attention in one spot and take advantage of them and their
• 41:14
  ignorance in another. I would imagine even the mage
• 41:17
  hand dips into this pool with more reverence than they have
• 41:21
  gluttonously drunk of it. And as you dip into the waters,
• 41:27
  you feel a flash in your mind, as you often do with the Louder
• 41:34
  of Star songs. This feels like Star Song
• 41:36
  purified, a similar power, different, but astral and
• 41:42
  transient somehow. Nonetheless, this pool seems to
• 41:45
  have power. It wants to move everywhere and
• 41:48
  cannot, and this magic allows it to be more than just this place.
• 41:53
  Within that handful of water, you fully divined the ship's
• 41:56
  location. More than that, you divine the
• 41:59
  fantasies that have been built around it the the Dragons that
• 42:02
  young boy dragon adventure imagines, and you see that they
• 42:05
  are silly but detailed and playful and you appreciate the
• 42:08
  fantasy there. You also see that other people
• 42:11
  have built folklore about 3 otters that swim beneath the
• 42:15
  ship and guarded at all times. At other times it's a salamander
• 42:20
  and a giant and that one clicks true.
• 42:23
  It's not the beauty that myth and lore creates.
• 42:26
  It's not something that you would put in your journal.
• 42:29
  That mast as it is underneath the ice within the ship.
• 42:34
  You can feel the presence of a giant and a beast that looks
• 42:39
  draconic but is a ground dwelling beast.
• 42:42
  Everyone's made-up stories about this place till they've morphed
• 42:45
  into a bunch of different legends, but you find the truth
• 42:47
  through the war. Are the hags still arguing
• 42:50
  amongst themselves? Yes, it's getting like almost
• 42:53
  violent as they're starting to slap fight.
• 42:54
  I sort of stand and bow my head, respecting the sister who got in
• 43:00
  between me and the pool. I slowly start to back away and
• 43:04
  Soraya says thank you sisters for the help.
• 43:08
  I will be sure to tell the town of your incredible capabilities.
• 43:11
  Oh, don't tell the town. They come to us nonetheless, but
• 43:14
  if they. I've left.
• 43:15
  I was just trying to be nice give.
• 43:17
  Me a give me a stealth check as you leave, OK?
• 43:21
  3020. With The Dirty 20 you're able to
• 43:25
  time the conversations perfectly to the point where they they
• 43:27
  don't even consider you as you get out of there.
• 43:30
  Give me an insight check again with advantage. 30.
• 43:38
  Buck Wow, you feel fate upon you what 2 Wizards in this valley
• 43:47
  have just done this Wizard of time and this Wizard of wish for
• 43:52
  you feel their natures as well, upon the wind and upon the
• 43:55
  turnings of fate. What they've done to fate will
• 43:59
  destroy this world. Dragon Adventure That young boy
• 44:02
  is set on a path where he will become a tyrannical ruler
• 44:06
  because of the actions of the wizard time.
• 44:09
  The otters that were inspired will destroy the fur trading
• 44:15
  profitability of this town. Fighting back and slaughter will
• 44:19
  be had. And I don't feel there's
• 44:21
  anything I can do to change this.
• 44:23
  Being who you are and being in this moment, you feel the power
• 44:26
  to change that. I do love a side quest.
• 44:31
  I think we're going to montage through these really quickly.
• 44:34
  What does it look like as you appear to 1st the otters or
• 44:37
  dragon adventure? I walk back into town and seek
• 44:41
  out dragon adventure. You find him pretty easily at
• 44:44
  the same place that you have felt in your fateful instincts
• 44:47
  that draw you to places at times.
• 44:49
  I knock on the door and I imagine he answers and I bend
• 44:52
  down on one knee. He doesn't come to the door.
• 44:54
  Eventually he does, but what you find that you find him working
• 44:58
  feverishly hard, inspired by the words of time, not wanting to
• 45:03
  waste a single second, and you can see that he will burn
• 45:05
  himself out into a resentful, hostile person unless you do
• 45:09
  something. What's he working on?
• 45:11
  Like sharpening blades for the kitchen.
• 45:14
  Dearest Dragon, what are you working on?
• 45:17
  Well, I was I was thinking about becoming an adventurer one day
• 45:21
  and I really want a sword and mom said I can't.
• 45:24
  Well, she told me mom this Hubble Ted, I can't have a
• 45:29
  sword. So I just, I thought I I could
• 45:32
  maybe get good at the kitchen knives and then once I was good
• 45:35
  with those I would go find a sword.
• 45:38
  Anyways, I was just I was cleaning the kitchen.
• 45:40
  You know what happens when boys your age play with swords?
• 45:44
  They get hurt. I don't want to see you get
• 45:46
  hurt. I think Miss Hubble walks in at
• 45:49
  that point and says get back to sharpening knives, boy.
• 45:53
  You feel a flash of song in this moment and you see the story
• 45:56
  written here. This boy is in a in a terrible
• 45:59
  situation where a woman took him in, does not want him, works
• 46:03
  into the bone, and he is unable to get himself out of it because
• 46:08
  he's too young for a life of adventure, which would be the
• 46:10
  only thing that could get him out of a place like this.
• 46:12
  Miss Hubble, do you mind if I have a moment with Dragon?
• 46:15
  Who are you? I'm a wizard and I am looking
• 46:17
  for information and. You are no wizard.
• 46:21
  I've met Wizards, dear. Be gone with you.
• 46:24
  We've had enough today. Can I cast friends on her?
• 46:27
  Yeah, I do. We have to succeed on a Wisdom
• 46:30
  saving throw. That is A2 on the die.
• 46:34
  OK, perfect. So we have a sense of of
• 46:36
  friendship. I'm, I'm sorry, dear, I just, I
• 46:39
  saw for a second your cloak's rather dirty.
• 46:43
  You have you been just out in the nature?
• 46:47
  Yes, I love my cloak. Thank you.
• 46:49
  Sorry, I just hadn't assumed a a Wizard of no, that's my we.
• 46:53
  Shouldn't assume right? Unkind.
• 46:56
  In harsh times when 1 needs to, like right now.
• 47:00
  If we don't have those knives clean tomorrow and she kicks
• 47:02
  Dragon Adventure into the kitchen.
• 47:04
  If we don't have those, miss. Hubble.
• 47:05
  Miss Hubble. If you don't mind, I really
• 47:07
  would love to speak with Dragon. It's important.
• 47:11
  Earl wizard. I would I would love to do that.
• 47:13
  And as she goes to the kitchen to and really mess around with
• 47:16
  knives, you have a young dragon adventure still steaming a
• 47:19
  little bit, but he's there and listening.
• 47:22
  I'm going to take out one of my blank notebooks from my cloak
• 47:25
  and hand it to him with a quill and some other colored clay
• 47:30
  sticks to make drawing more fun. And I'm going to tell him, well,
• 47:34
  sometimes it seems like the world is full of adventure.
• 47:39
  All of the best adventures can happen in our hearts and in our
• 47:44
  minds. You see a little fire in his
• 47:47
  eyes, relight. He was just wondering if that
• 47:49
  was OK, if he should put down all of his silly thoughts and
• 47:52
  stories and just stop wasting time.
• 47:54
  I look at him and I say in your heart, if you are a pirate, if
• 48:00
  you are a wizard, if you are a time traveler, then it is
• 48:06
  already true. You don't need to adventure out
• 48:10
  into the world to find adventure.
• 48:13
  Wait for the right time, the right moment, and adventure will
• 48:17
  find you. But until then, be strong.
• 48:21
  I'm sorry, miss, what did you say your name was?
• 48:24
  I'm just a friend. I imagine in the window you see
• 48:27
  the clouds clear a little bit as you reflectively see the the
• 48:32
  doubt clear in this boy's eyes about whether he was wasting his
• 48:36
  life. And now you give him the
• 48:37
  permission to imagine a better one and prepare to take that on.
• 48:43
  You might not have a way out now, but at first he was really
• 48:46
  resentful of that as soon as that first wizard left.
• 48:49
  But you give him the permission to dream while also working
• 48:52
  towards it, rather than being so overwhelmed by the idea that you
• 48:56
  can't. Is there anything else as you I?
• 48:59
  Make a swift exit. I've got otters to visit.
• 49:01
  I think he's both in awe of you, but also wants to pursue his
• 49:04
  imagination so badly that you're able to slip out between really
• 49:09
  excited questions about what's it like to be a wizard.
• 49:11
  You're a Wizard of what? And he is scratching his quill
• 49:15
  as he hears the door swing. Young dragon adventure.
• 49:18
  Hopefully we'll find his way out one day.
• 49:21
  You move on to the otters. What do you do as you approach
• 49:24
  to to their natural domain? Frantically talking about some
• 49:27
  bigger Otter that came in, beat them really badly at clams like
• 49:31
  to an expert degree and then left on ice skates.
• 49:34
  I think I similarly, and obviously without knowing it, it
• 49:38
  would probably just appear in the den not knowing how else to
• 49:41
  make an entrance. So this might be a second
• 49:43
  startle for them today. It's.
• 49:45
  Fighter not, no, don't. I know it's scary.
• 49:48
  I come in peace. As he's a biter's just biting
• 49:52
  you in wobbles, wobbling in the corner and no.
• 49:54
  No, I'm not food. Please don't.
• 49:56
  No thanks. Tommy, you know I'm not going to
• 49:58
  do this. Please talk to him.
• 49:59
  Welcome. Friends.
• 50:01
  You're the second unwelcome visitor.
• 50:03
  Not unwelcome, no. We otters are very welcoming.
• 50:06
  I do apologize for the surprise entrance, I didn't know how else
• 50:10
  to get in. It's a beautiful home you have.
• 50:13
  Well I guess the front door is a little small for someone so 2
• 50:18
  footed. I do have two right now.
• 50:21
  No pause, I see. Nope, just these.
• 50:24
  She wiggles her hands. You're kind in these parts.
• 50:27
  They don't like us much. Oh.
• 50:30
  They don't. They steal our skin.
• 50:32
  I would never. Are you sure?
• 50:34
  Give me a persuasion check. 14. Speaking against the trade, even
• 50:39
  the 12 that they roll, which I think is pretty representative
• 50:42
  of the skepticism that they show most, that's definitely enough
• 50:45
  to get on their good side. As they say, well, we can tell
• 50:48
  that you're not one of the ones that might hurt us, but doesn't
• 50:52
  mean that you won't use us like that guy did just a second ago.
• 50:56
  He just came in here and he just, he beat me at clams, stole
• 50:59
  all my money. You don't even know what money
• 51:01
  is. But he said a thing about a job
• 51:03
  and I've just been thinking about it ever since.
• 51:05
  A job, you say, that seems above your pay grade.
• 51:10
  And by that I mean we shouldn't worry ourselves with such things
• 51:14
  as jobs and rules and. Well, for Biter we have a rule.
• 51:20
  No biting. That's a good rule, Biter,
• 51:22
  please no biting. But otherwise, as far as I'm
• 51:25
  concerned, it's your job to just me.
• 51:29
  You can swim and you can play and you can beat those rude
• 51:33
  Wizards and more clam games. That is right.
• 51:36
  That is how it went down. We beat him.
• 51:38
  I believe it. We beat him.
• 51:39
  He was a wizard. Yes, a wizard he was.
• 51:43
  I do apologize. I believe in my heart that he
• 51:47
  didn't mean to cause harm. We rarely do.
• 51:51
  He smelt like the elements so we've we trusted him.
• 51:55
  But yeah, I think he might have just been water in the shape of
• 51:58
  an Otter. You have my word or.
• 52:00
  Maybe rocks? No, he was rocks in the shape of
• 52:02
  an Otter. You have my word friends, if you
• 52:05
  can do your best to forget the feeling he left you with and
• 52:09
  carry on with your playful, wonderful, fruitful lives in the
• 52:14
  water, I will continue fighting for more honesty, more
• 52:21
  transparency between we earth dwelling creatures and small
• 52:28
  critters like you. Give me one one more persuasion
• 52:32
  check and this time with advantage for sure. 18.
• 52:38
  They seem pacified at your words, very much so, as they
• 52:42
  say. We hear you, but can we get one
• 52:45
  last game with the guy? What about a game with me
• 52:48
  instead? OK.
• 52:50
  And you plays 5 otters in clams, losing some, winning others and
• 52:56
  just extending their experience so it's not so hit and run.
• 53:00
  You allow them to settle back into their nature.
• 53:02
  They find peace to the point where you feel fate shifting, to
• 53:05
  a point where, I don't know, give me an arcana check to
• 53:12
  survive. I rolled a 27. 27 more than
• 53:16
  enough handles the psychic shock of what are three severe flashes
• 53:22
  of a future path that is set, which is so rare within fate
• 53:28
  that so much of the path ahead could be seen and felt as to
• 53:32
  feel ahead. But not moments, not minutes,
• 53:37
  but years. Flash a young man, dark hair and
• 53:42
  glasses. Streaks of white roll along his
• 53:45
  hair as he tussles it and holds those glasses in one hand, in
• 53:50
  the other Shields Your hand in your night sky full of stars,
• 53:55
  pulling you over to some sort of metal cylinder.
• 53:59
  It's end capped with glass lens of some kind.
• 54:03
  You look up and consider this flash.
• 54:06
  In the instant that you have it, the sky is one that would be
• 54:09
  perfect to go and visit. Instead you find yourself
• 54:13
  observing it from the ground with this young man.
• 54:17
  Your hand feels warm. Flash, A young girl holds your
• 54:21
  hand in the same way, excitedly pulling you over to the very
• 54:25
  same telescope, only this time it is scratched and warm, but
• 54:29
  obviously cared for. It has doodles and drawings and
• 54:32
  crayon along the side. Written in the uncertain script
• 54:36
  of a child are the words Big ladle, Little ladle Flash.
• 54:43
  You stand at the door of a home you will come to cherish.
• 54:46
  It is the dead of night. As your hand rests on the inner
• 54:49
  latch of your door. You hesitate to leave.
• 54:53
  You know you wish you could stay.
• 54:56
  That same young girl, older now, but still much.
• 54:59
  The child grabs your hand once more as you hesitate.
• 55:05
  What is this moment like? What does Soraya see in this
• 55:09
  flash of the future? Cassie catches her in the middle
• 55:12
  of the night, right before she ever left.
• 55:16
  Does Soraya comprehend? I can get the feeling that this
• 55:20
  is going to happen, I think very quickly.
• 55:24
  She cycles through stages of denial and resistance.
• 55:31
  You know, it briefly crosses her mind never to let herself fall
• 55:36
  in love and meet anyone so that she can avoid having these
• 55:40
  encounters and experiences. But also being wise enough to
• 55:44
  know that it's written in the stars.
• 55:46
  I can't, you know, I could pretend that I'm never going to
• 55:50
  fall in love. You've had this feeling once and
• 55:52
  it was the knowledge that your home world was going to be
• 55:54
  destroyed and that was that feeling is what allowed you to
• 55:57
  leave early enough to survive. Recalling that in the past this
• 56:02
  these powerful bits of intuition have allowed her to carry on
• 56:08
  living and find life again, find a home, find goodness.
• 56:16
  You've loved these years in Atlas.
• 56:19
  He sort of grins and bears it as she turns this immense feeling
• 56:26
  of grief into one of hope and acceptance.
• 56:34
  Just because it is always possible to lose the good things
• 56:38
  in our life does not mean we shouldn't eek out good things in
• 56:42
  our life and give ourselves the chance to enjoy people and
• 56:48
  places and things. They can always be lost and some
• 56:53
  things can never be replaced, but that doesn't mean we should
• 56:57
  deny ourselves the the gift of experiencing them so very
• 57:02
  quickly. She goes from deeply sad to
• 57:07
  deeply overjoyed that she experiences so much love in the
• 57:13
  future. And she sort of takes that
• 57:15
  perspective and lifts her chin and sets out to face the world
• 57:19
  to find these people who she clearly cared about so, so
• 57:22
  deeply or will care about so deeply.
• 57:26
  The last of the flash of that last memory fades as you see
• 57:31
  yourself in your mind's eye, past magic upon the girl so that
• 57:37
  this memory might be dulled and that the pain might be not
• 57:42
  forgotten. But you can't have her know
• 57:45
  where you go. That is part of this.
• 57:47
  And even through that you find happiness and worth and value.
• 57:51
  And I think, I wish I could be as adjusted as that.
• 57:55
  Because the good that you see ahead, everything out else about
• 58:00
  this timeline that feels so set by these, these anchored points
• 58:04
  that you find so solid, It is a beautiful path.
• 58:08
  It ebbs and whines and weaves in a way that someone who could see
• 58:12
  fate, I think would be in awe at the beauty of the the tree
• 58:16
  before them. The the the flower that has
• 58:18
  grown into the rhythmic and repeating patterns that it has.
• 58:23
  And you feel your pain have obviously the value enough to be
• 58:29
  reflected in how powerful that good is that you honor your
• 58:32
  pain. But you move forward.
• 58:35
  And I think there is a perfect point to flash a little bit
• 58:38
  forward to where we find 3 Wizards.
• 58:42
  All of you I'm sure have different ways of getting there,
• 58:44
  but all of you feel one another. As soon as you're within a few
• 58:47
  100 feet, you approach the sunken and crashed flying ship
• 58:53
  known as the Old Singer, which lies beneath the ice.
• 58:57
  All three of you Wizards can feel each other as you all
• 58:59
  approach within 600 feet of what, through arcane or mundane
• 59:04
  senses you are able to feel is the mast of the Old Singer
• 59:07
  sticking up and out of the ice. Everything sentences whatever
• 59:11
  you're perceiving. You cannot see anything else
• 59:13
  other than that. What you can feel is the
• 59:17
  presence of two other Wizards. What do you guys do?
• 59:20
  As again within about 600 feet, you're approaching your
• 59:24
  destination and you feel the the magical presence of another
• 59:28
  wizard. Soraya says friend or foe, I
• 59:32
  want no trouble here. Is there?
• 59:35
  Can we hear each other? Yeah, the sound travels quite
• 59:37
  well over the frozen ice. I know you're there.
• 59:42
  I can't imagine we're all here for different things.
• 59:48
  I am a friend to some, but I give a side eye that I hope you
• 59:52
  can feel from where I'm at. I'm imagining us all like equal
• 59:55
  distance away from this mass, and I'm like, when was the last
• 59:59
  time any of you had a wizard's race?
• 1:00:02
  It's been decades. Shall we?
• 1:00:07
  You just. Yes, I'm just you're laughing
• 1:00:10
  because you just must not know who I am.
• 1:00:17
  Shall we use the typical Wizards race rules?
• 1:00:22
  Go. On Oh, Don't You Know?
• 1:00:25
  Go on, do not humor me in this way.
• 1:00:29
  There are no rules that take off.
• 1:00:31
  Towards towards a ship. Yeah.
• 1:00:34
  As you, as you do so everyone, give me one a history check 1st
• 1:00:37
  to see how familiar you guys are with the reputations of one
• 1:00:40
  another time. Do so with disadvantage.
• 1:00:43
  Natural one for Soraya, which is funny because if you say I like
• 1:00:49
  had a sense of their energies. I think yeah.
• 1:00:52
  Or. Is that just an this?
• 1:00:53
  Is the first you're hearing of them though.
• 1:00:54
  OK, the rumors are spread far and wide, but you know, you've
• 1:00:59
  heard of the Sage of the East and the Spirit of the West, but
• 1:01:02
  nothing more cool. 18. OK, 14 all told.
• 1:01:07
  You guys have heard of each other, first of all, time and
• 1:01:10
  wish. And I think you've also heard of
• 1:01:14
  this new wizard on the block that's been stirring shit up
• 1:01:17
  left and right and giving other Wizards bad reputations.
• 1:01:21
  Apparently what happens when she comes through town is very
• 1:01:26
  different than what happens when most Wizards come through town,
• 1:01:29
  which is chaos and magic and sometimes a lot of nice
• 1:01:33
  helpfulness and a lot of whimsical things, But more than
• 1:01:36
  anything, chaos and disorder. When luck passes through, that
• 1:01:41
  does occur, but somehow always for clear skies afterwards.
• 1:01:44
  And that reputation is built and built and built to the point
• 1:01:47
  where, just by juxtaposition, other Wizards are starting to
• 1:01:51
  get a bad rap if she doesn't cause collateral damage.
• 1:01:55
  But when collateral damage is caused, people have started to
• 1:01:57
  speak up. The one who has mastered the
• 1:02:00
  effect of the butterflies. Mustn't we be careful around
• 1:02:05
  this one? I can hear you care to introduce
• 1:02:09
  yourselves to me. No.
• 1:02:13
  Oh good, we're off to a great start then.
• 1:02:15
  I am Azareza Odd. You may know me as the Spirit of
• 1:02:20
  the West. Oh, I have heard of legend.
• 1:02:25
  I may have met you on by chance, but I feel like there might be
• 1:02:29
  fate more at play here. Seems so.
• 1:02:36
  And you crabapple. Crabapple.
• 1:02:42
  What a dreary. Nickname.
• 1:02:44
  Well, careful. Or it just.
• 1:02:45
  Might stick. You can call me Oz.
• 1:02:48
  Yes, my full name is Osbrian Every.
• 1:02:52
  I've been known as the Wizard of Time.
• 1:02:58
  Ah, Osbrian. I remember Osbrian.
• 1:03:01
  Oz for simplicity. Sounds like you'd rather be
• 1:03:04
  called Oz. Or the Wizard of Time all
• 1:03:08
  knowing Oracle stage of the East.
• 1:03:11
  I'll let you choose. All together or?
• 1:03:13
  Again, the world is your claim. I think the wind may blow
• 1:03:21
  through this one. What if it goes wrong?
• 1:03:25
  Why is he holy? The clown, he said.
• 1:03:29
  The wind may blow through this. Three Wizards break out in in
• 1:03:36
  laughter. Can you tell none of us have
• 1:03:39
  ever played like slow, methodical, smart, like trying
• 1:03:44
  to be quippy? It's instead of like hyper
• 1:03:46
  bouncing off the wall of chaos, we're like, oh.
• 1:03:49
  I can, I can. I kind of like that that the
• 1:03:51
  energy amongst you guys meeting isn't necessarily even like
• 1:03:55
  hostile. Or no, it's awkward.
• 1:03:57
  I love. It but it's not defensive right,
• 1:03:59
  like it's awkward doesn't isn't necessarily.
• 1:04:03
  But as you guys all kind of set one another off kilter, you can
• 1:04:07
  kind of feel this mix of energies.
• 1:04:10
  Actually, everyone give me our kind of checks as you through
• 1:04:12
  Wizards step within reigned with one another. 31st Survive.
• 1:04:17
  Oh my God. It's a 12 or AS.
• 1:04:20
  Cool 24 damn as I think you're thrown off by the fact that your
• 1:04:26
  breath is really starting to respond, and that doesn't happen
• 1:04:29
  often. It's rare that your actual core
• 1:04:32
  being of your breath becomes felt to you because you've known
• 1:04:36
  it for so long. It's just you.
• 1:04:38
  You're kind of one with your breath.
• 1:04:40
  And so similar to how someone who isn't really able to discern
• 1:04:45
  between emotions, your breath lives within you so much that
• 1:04:49
  when it gets heightened, it kind of can just feel like, no, I'm
• 1:04:52
  heightened. This is so heightened that it
• 1:04:54
  feels different from you. And you're like, Oh my, my
• 1:04:57
  breath becomes apparent once more.
• 1:04:58
  And that just kind of puts you magically off guard.
• 1:05:00
  You're not able to understand the mixing of energies that's
• 1:05:03
  occurring right now. Kind of imagining when it's
• 1:05:07
  cold, I typically don't see my breath.
• 1:05:09
  Yeah, but this time I take an exhale.
• 1:05:11
  There's mist on the. Absolutely.
• 1:05:15
  That distracts you enough to be unaware of the fact that your
• 1:05:20
  energies are feeding and being fed, which is something that
• 1:05:23
  time sees. Some of your time is slipping
• 1:05:26
  away. The time that you so
• 1:05:28
  painstakingly store in interactions like the one that
• 1:05:31
  you had with the young boy earlier, leaving him frantic and
• 1:05:35
  hurried yourself all the more patient and filled with
• 1:05:40
  longevity. You feel your time start to be
• 1:05:42
  taken, but then inversely, you feel something being given to
• 1:05:46
  you that immediately replaces it.
• 1:05:48
  It's not time, but your arcane circuitry kind of immediately
• 1:05:52
  turns it into that, and you realize that it's something
• 1:05:55
  coming from one of them, maybe both, You're not quite sure.
• 1:06:00
  Soraya, you understand something that is taken for granted by
• 1:06:07
  most spellcasters. There's magic in everything.
• 1:06:13
  Very fundamentally, it's called aura by spellcasters.
• 1:06:18
  Plants, grass, rocks, anything would give off its own distinct
• 1:06:22
  aura. Although people do have their
• 1:06:25
  own auras, very rarely do they contribute so much so that it
• 1:06:30
  affects the ecosystem individually.
• 1:06:33
  It's very rare that someone is a source of such vital aura, vital
• 1:06:38
  power that they stir the pot and cause a ripple in the pond.
• 1:06:43
  You 3 seem to have this very very balanced and imbalanced 3
• 1:06:51
  body system of energies that seem drawn to each other and
• 1:06:55
  pulled away at parts but in this playful dance that never is
• 1:07:00
  broken into full disorder but may appear as disorder at times.
• 1:07:05
  In the end it is a system that will work well and will feed one
• 1:07:09
  another almost indefinitely. There's not a word for this I
• 1:07:13
  guess. In the astral plane they call an
• 1:07:17
  amount of energy that's enough to displace the astral plane, a
• 1:07:20
  domain. You have that word here to lean
• 1:07:24
  on as you've heard it referred to as such in the in the astral
• 1:07:27
  plane. You 3 seem to be creating your
• 1:07:30
  own domain of energy, and that is largely due to your specific
• 1:07:35
  mixtures of vital aura. With a 30 I would go into more
• 1:07:39
  detail, but I think Soraya doesn't need to draw those
• 1:07:42
  details up. I think you feel it more
• 1:07:44
  instinctly. These terms aren't necessary for
• 1:07:47
  this revelation, but the fundamental terms that when you
• 1:07:49
  think of vital aura are exo, emo and ego beasts.
• 1:07:56
  All different types of energies, but energies that can be sent
• 1:07:59
  inward or outward or can be within balance of one another.
• 1:08:03
  Emo being imbalance, exo being externally out of balance and
• 1:08:08
  ego being internally out of balance.
• 1:08:11
  And I feel like we each represent one of those.
• 1:08:15
  You feel, yeah, you feel yourself constantly pulled off
• 1:08:19
  center by these two individuals and then somehow brought back
• 1:08:22
  on. I think it was in that first
• 1:08:25
  awkwardness and then the left together suddenly.
• 1:08:27
  Yeah, it's like a click. Yes.
• 1:08:30
  Experiencing this pariah first, she studies both of these people
• 1:08:36
  very intensely to make sure that neither of them looks like the
• 1:08:42
  man in the vision she just had. And having confirmed that, she
• 1:08:47
  then it sounds like maybe they're chattering amongst, you
• 1:08:50
  know, as a group. They're chattering.
• 1:08:52
  And she sort of pulls herself back and her brain quiets and
• 1:08:58
  she just sort of feels this strange click and wonders why it
• 1:09:04
  took so long for us to meet. But only for a moment.
• 1:09:08
  And then she ponders. We must have been meant to meet
• 1:09:13
  right now, right here. For some reason, that feeling
• 1:09:18
  gives her both a jolt of excitement and a jolt of fear.
• 1:09:22
  Knowing that it feels like we were meant to meet.
• 1:09:27
  This is where we're meeting. This ship is clearly why we're
• 1:09:30
  meeting. Or three very powerful Wizards.
• 1:09:33
  Something's about to go down. And with that, I think everyone
• 1:09:38
  role for perception here, we're going to say DC-18. 7. 27. 13.
• 1:09:47
  You guys have all closed in to around 120 feet and suddenly
• 1:09:52
  there's a massive displacement of mist and snow as arrow the
• 1:09:59
  size of a javelin is headed towards your group.
• 1:10:02
  Rule for initiative. Oh my.
• 1:10:03
  God, what? Disadvantage for those that are
• 1:10:06
  surprised, which is anyone except for Soraya.
• 1:10:09
  Defense against being surprised. Oh damn.
• 1:10:11
  Oh, and I think, do you have the alert fee too?
• 1:10:13
  Yes, I do. Oh my God, nobody's surprised.
• 1:10:16
  We saw this coming, if you. Why did I even ask for that
• 1:10:19
  perception? 18 for Soraya. 24 for a time
• 1:10:23
  sick. OK.
• 1:10:25
  Same. With the attacker rolling low
• 1:10:28
  here and you guys just having the time to react as you are
• 1:10:32
  Wizards, I think it is quite efficiently.
• 1:10:35
  Soraya, this starts with you noticing it, but it sounds like
• 1:10:38
  time goes first as I think it is you that allows the other two
• 1:10:43
  Wizards to realize that a threat is coming.
• 1:10:46
  How do you think? Do you actually communicate to
• 1:10:48
  time and wish that something's about to go down?
• 1:10:51
  It's got to be a wizard telepathy moment where our
• 1:10:53
  Bluetooth is just connected and I'm feeling something through
• 1:10:57
  the ice I'd imagine, or like sensing something, and I send
• 1:11:00
  some of that concern out to them as well.
• 1:11:03
  Immediately going from silly to serious, I think that spreads
• 1:11:06
  amongst the group quickly and time that is you first as a
• 1:11:10
  arrow hurdles through the air at you, but you moved quicker than
• 1:11:12
  that. Someone has joined our race.
• 1:11:16
  This is like. Moving that Dragon Ball Z time.
• 1:11:18
  This is so cool suddenly. So we know it's coming.
• 1:11:21
  We're not surprised. You do spot a massive frost
• 1:11:25
  giant standing near the mast and so he's he's hard to spot from
• 1:11:29
  this distance and with the disruption of the mast at 1st
• 1:11:33
  and then you see him, but standing with a a large frost
• 1:11:36
  bow stands a frost giant. I think time is going to blur
• 1:11:40
  and appear a couple inches to the side as the thing misses
• 1:11:44
  him. Yeah, it's just like, oh, I'm
• 1:11:47
  just going to move. Out of the way, you're.
• 1:11:50
  Going to have so many people going to the eye doctor.
• 1:11:53
  Eventually the thing will pass me.
• 1:11:55
  I have seen it. He's going to step out of the
• 1:12:00
  way of the thing, hold on to his chronal sphere, pull it out of
• 1:12:04
  his cloak, and he's going to cast slow.
• 1:12:08
  So I'm going to need the giant to roll a Wisdom save.
• 1:12:14
  That is a natural one. OK, well that is not enough.
• 1:12:17
  To beat a Wisdom save of 18. Tell me what slow does.
• 1:12:20
  So you alter time around you up to six creatures of your choice
• 1:12:24
  in a 40 foot cube within range. And this is within 120 feet.
• 1:12:27
  You can do this, yes. Damn.
• 1:12:30
  So I'm just going to land this right on top of the the guy.
• 1:12:34
  So cool the arrows like barely left the bow and you cast slow
• 1:12:38
  upon him. He's like just for good measure.
• 1:12:41
  Moves out of the way, but it's like you silly creature and just
• 1:12:44
  cast slow. Cool.
• 1:12:45
  Effective target speed is halved and it takes -2 penalty to AC
• 1:12:49
  and Dexterity saving throws, and it can't use reactions on its
• 1:12:52
  turn. It can use either an action or a
• 1:12:54
  bonus action, not both. Regardless of the creature's
• 1:12:57
  abilities or magic items, it can't make more than one melee
• 1:13:01
  or range attack. During its turn.
• 1:13:02
  Awesome. Huge.
• 1:13:03
  If the creature attempts to cast a spell with a casting time of 1
• 1:13:06
  action, roll AD 20. On an 11 or higher, the spell
• 1:13:09
  doesn't take effect until the creature's next turn.
• 1:13:11
  Fucking killer. OK, I'm going to make one more
• 1:13:14
  roll and there's actually a noted that there was a save back
• 1:13:17
  here there. Anything else that you want to
• 1:13:19
  do before we get to wish? He's going to just take the rest
• 1:13:23
  of his movement forward. Just like if you're going to
• 1:13:26
  kill me, let me look you in the eye and just keeps moving
• 1:13:29
  forward. Awesome, so you got 30 feet
• 1:13:32
  unless you have any bonus action abilities to make it a little
• 1:13:34
  bit more. Now he's just going to continue
• 1:13:36
  like. Trudging forward, trudging
• 1:13:39
  forward as you do want to make it another step feet into about
• 1:13:42
  a time, one step at a time. You make it up to 90 feet and
• 1:13:46
  that is going to be wish up next.
• 1:13:48
  All right, so we see a Archer of some type up on top of the vast.
• 1:13:53
  Yes, a frost giant, which you know, which you know as an
• 1:13:56
  elemental yourself in parts that frost giants are resentful of
• 1:14:02
  being a part of the elemental cycle, they thrash against it
• 1:14:06
  and you would not be ready to allies, you would be natural
• 1:14:09
  enemies to a frost giant. Don't worry, I've taken care of
• 1:14:14
  it. I am going to cast that'll wave.
• 1:14:20
  I did magical skip through the run.
• 1:14:22
  I pull out one of my books and I flip open to a page and I close
• 1:14:27
  it and as I'm closing it, a wave of water is going to come out of
• 1:14:30
  it and I'm going to. It's got a range of 120 feet.
• 1:14:35
  I conjure a wave of water that crashes down on an area within
• 1:14:38
  range. This area can be 30 feet long,
• 1:14:40
  up to 10 feet wide, and then up to 10 feet tall.
• 1:14:43
  Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw.
• 1:14:45
  On a failed save, a creature takes 48 bludgeoning damage and
• 1:14:48
  it's not grown. OK, that is going to be a couple
• 1:14:51
  saves over here for me. What's the save?
• 1:14:54
  20. It's DC 20.
• 1:14:55
  Yeah, Oh my God. Oh my.
• 1:14:57
  God, yeah. I don't know.
• 1:14:58
  Neither of them make it. You actually wash out from the
• 1:15:01
  ice. It was just camouflage.
• 1:15:04
  Well, well enough to not be seen.
• 1:15:05
  But a giant frost salamander that that kind of sits and wraps
• 1:15:09
  around the frost giant's legs as if like a pet in some way, but
• 1:15:14
  it is washed away from its camouflage with both of them
• 1:15:18
  failing. Amazing.
• 1:15:19
  Yeah. I honestly, now that I'm read
• 1:15:23
  the spell better, I closed the book and the ice cracks in front
• 1:15:26
  of me. Water comes up from it in a
• 1:15:28
  deluge and then falls down on top of them.
• 1:15:30
  Yes, absolutely. They are thrust into the air by
• 1:15:35
  a deluge of water and then thrust back down and smash
• 1:15:38
  against the ice once more. In slow motion.
• 1:15:40
  In slow motion as you hear Oh I am and then he slows down even
• 1:15:45
  further. This is soul track get that as
• 1:15:56
  he is like tries to introduce himself at his and his fearsome
• 1:16:00
  pets but he cannot. All right, that will be 15
• 1:16:05
  damage. 15 damage and both of them are not prone and sent away
• 1:16:10
  from the small amount of cover that they had near the mast.
• 1:16:13
  Amazing. The water splashes around and
• 1:16:16
  dissipates, but I think it'd be cool if it froze.
• 1:16:19
  Yeah, I think it freezes in like a geyser upward on all sides and
• 1:16:23
  you open up like a little opening above and around the
• 1:16:25
  mast. I'm going to continue all my
• 1:16:29
  movement speed forward towards the prone enemies and going to
• 1:16:35
  take all my movement misty step forward.
• 1:16:37
  Is misty step from a racial feat or is that another spell slot?
• 1:16:40
  Because 2024 rules allow to use one spell slot per turn.
• 1:16:45
  It says use instead of cast. Oh, then perfect.
• 1:16:48
  Yeah, you're able to misty step with the use of that.
• 1:16:51
  Cool. Yeah, so I turn into some more
• 1:16:54
  genie silvery mist and the lamp disappears last.
• 1:16:57
  And I popped forward 30 feet after running 30 feet.
• 1:17:02
  So 60 feet forward. Awesome. 60 feet.
• 1:17:04
  I'm assuming that you didn't have the ability to use Misty
• 1:17:08
  Step. You see Wish flash forward
• 1:17:11
  further and faster than you could.
• 1:17:12
  Even as you are slowing down time itself, Wish moves through
• 1:17:17
  it and you are passed up in this wizard race.
• 1:17:21
  Curious. I'm just really tiny hopping
• 1:17:24
  from snowflake to snowflake. Oh, that's so an Angel on Angel
• 1:17:27
  on needlepoint or whatever. An Angel on a pin I think is the
• 1:17:31
  Terry Pratchett line. Yeah, my misty step.
• 1:17:33
  I actually just get Ant band size and.
• 1:17:37
  You make the distance proportionally longer.
• 1:17:39
  Yeah, but it's fun. I get it.
• 1:17:41
  That is going to be Next up, the wizard luck.
• 1:17:44
  Soraya Serbian, that is you. Soraya smirking and she's going
• 1:17:49
  to cast man if I do a skills check.
• 1:17:55
  I would allow a free skills check here if you want to ask me
• 1:17:58
  questions about the the situation.
• 1:17:59
  Some space opened up around the helm of the ship.
• 1:18:02
  Totally. And I'd also love to get a read
• 1:18:04
  on like the vibe of the Frost Giant and the Chameleon or the
• 1:18:08
  Quizzard. Frost Giant and the salamander.
• 1:18:11
  Salamander. Yep, but with chameleon like
• 1:18:14
  camouflage. So good call.
• 1:18:16
  Yeah, give me give me an insight inside or nature would both
• 1:18:20
  work. 21. 21 will tell you quite a bit here.
• 1:18:25
  Your intuition tells you a lot. You see this frost giant and at
• 1:18:29
  first he seems not necessarily not hostile, but like as if he's
• 1:18:34
  trying to introduce you to what he seems to be like proud of as
• 1:18:38
  a pet. And then you look closer at the
• 1:18:41
  salamander and you see that it is not a natural born
• 1:18:47
  salamander. He seems to have like like
• 1:18:52
  genetically modified it by combining it with pieces of
• 1:18:56
  dragon and pieces of Drake and amphibian other monsters of the
• 1:19:02
  deep. This thing has been experimented
• 1:19:05
  on and as you can see that this frost giant might do most of its
• 1:19:09
  damage to the world out of ignorance.
• 1:19:12
  It will always be doing damage to the world out of ignorance
• 1:19:15
  because it's it's chosen a position that grinds against its
• 1:19:18
  own nature. It is unwilling to accept that,
• 1:19:20
  and it has taken to messing with nature for its own fun because
• 1:19:25
  of its own problems. Very interesting.
• 1:19:28
  OK, Soraya is going to cast synaptic static on this pair.
• 1:19:34
  Awesome. Cool, you're able to hit both.
• 1:19:36
  It's a 20 foot sphere, Yeah, absolutely.
• 1:19:38
  The 120 foot range, yeah. He's like wrapped around the the
• 1:19:41
  frost giants legs, the frost salamander.
• 1:19:43
  So Synaptic Static is going to cause psychic energy to erupt at
• 1:19:47
  a point within range. Each creature in that sphere has
• 1:19:50
  to make an Intelligence saving throw or take damage on a failed
• 1:19:54
  save. A target also will have muddled
• 1:19:56
  thoughts for one minute, and during that time it subtracts
• 1:19:59
  1V6 from all of its attack rolls and ability checks, as well as
• 1:20:03
  any Constitution saving throws that it needs to take to
• 1:20:06
  maintain concentration. So.
• 1:20:10
  That's an intelligent saving throw of 20.
• 1:20:12
  Wow, three Wizards are no joke. Seriously, you are amazing.
• 1:20:15
  And I am definitely not going to be making this with a -. 2 to 1
• 1:20:19
  modifier and a -, 1 to the other.
• 1:20:22
  Yeah, neither of them are rolling in that 20, so that
• 1:20:23
  doesn't happen. All right.
• 1:20:25
  One of them rolled pretty high too.
• 1:20:26
  So I'm going to roll for damage. 37 damage.
• 1:20:34
  To each of them. So cool.
• 1:20:35
  And then there what? What were the other effects?
• 1:20:37
  Yeah, so it failed to save, so it will have muddled.
• 1:20:40
  Both of them will have muddled thoughts for a minute, and
• 1:20:42
  during that minute they will both subtract 1D6 from all
• 1:20:46
  attack rolls and ability checks, as well as Constitution saving
• 1:20:49
  throws needed to maintain concentration on a spell.
• 1:20:52
  They'll make an intelligent saving throughout the end of
• 1:20:54
  each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
• 1:20:58
  So if it can never succeed on a 20 Intelligence saving throw.
• 1:21:03
  I mean, it could succeed with a with a 20 on the die, but
• 1:21:07
  that's. One on the but I thought you had
• 1:21:08
  -1. It it, it's still.
• 1:21:12
  But you it would count 20 on that, yeah.
• 1:21:14
  I would consider it a critical success regardless.
• 1:21:16
  Totally you. Can have it.
• 1:21:18
  Against all odds, but for now, the odds are very much in your
• 1:21:22
  favor. Is there anything else that you
• 1:21:23
  want to do here, Cassie, as you take in the situation and change
• 1:21:28
  it? I'm also very curious what that
• 1:21:29
  energy looks like as you bring fate to bear upon them.
• 1:21:33
  Yeah, when you mentioned that this creature, the frosting is
• 1:21:36
  sort of it's inevitable that it's going to be causing
• 1:21:40
  destruction and chaos because it's just misinformed or
• 1:21:44
  misaligned. I thought the psychic energy and
• 1:21:48
  the psychic damage might sort of just like calm.
• 1:21:52
  It's desire for that destruction and chaos and almost distract it
• 1:21:56
  and give it something else to experience and digest instead of
• 1:22:02
  focusing on outward destruction. It's sort of like battling and
• 1:22:05
  inward destruction instead, so. You see it like kind of look,
• 1:22:10
  not necessarily thoughtful, more confused, but it's it's battle
• 1:22:17
  turns inward and it does the the first self reflection it's ever
• 1:22:20
  done in its life ever as yeah, it it's just never had the
• 1:22:25
  opportunity. As Soraya casts it, she says I
• 1:22:30
  mean you no harm. Like she she's not trying to be
• 1:22:36
  merciless, but put put us all out of this creature's misery.
• 1:22:40
  Sort of give. Me a persuasion check.
• 1:22:43
  You can do so with disadvantage. 11.
• 1:22:48
  I'm going to roll. Yeah, Unfortunately I don't
• 1:22:51
  think that there's anything that will get through to this
• 1:22:54
  creature. However, you do make it stop and
• 1:22:57
  ponder for a moment and you explore the possibility that it
• 1:22:59
  could and that it's it's fate seems locked into.
• 1:23:04
  Totally, I wasn't trying to sway that.
• 1:23:05
  It was more so just like the flavor of Psorias spell casting
• 1:23:08
  is is often. I think in a scenario like this
• 1:23:12
  would what she'd have good intentions that unfortunately
• 1:23:15
  just have to come out with. I think there is a world where
• 1:23:18
  this, this monster could feel that on some level, but it's
• 1:23:21
  unfortunately not in the circumstance as Paul will
• 1:23:25
  respond as best as he can here. I would also move 30 feet
• 1:23:28
  forward. Fantastic as Paul is up next,
• 1:23:31
  moving slowly, trying to get up, but slow mode and fighting this
• 1:23:37
  internal battle. He stands and is only able to
• 1:23:41
  let off that one shot that I described at the very start of
• 1:23:45
  this initiative. So I'm going to say that's going
• 1:23:49
  to be at at Soraya here because that attack came last.
• 1:23:55
  That is a natural one on the die.
• 1:23:58
  That won't quite make it. No it won't and I I only have to
• 1:24:01
  make one attack because it's slow.
• 1:24:03
  Yep, only one action or bonus action Napa.
• 1:24:07
  Cool, you see it's very slowly reaching for another massive
• 1:24:12
  javelin sized arrow as it makes eyes with you Soraya like kind
• 1:24:16
  of fluctuating back between this internal battle and just again
• 1:24:20
  reaching towards hostility because of the confusion founded
• 1:24:23
  with inside. And that is Next up it's pet at
• 1:24:26
  its feet, which is going to be soul truck.
• 1:24:29
  Get them as it tries to move and with Live and Undead race you
• 1:24:37
  now realize as it is a collection of beans.
• 1:24:41
  It's also slowed. It is also, Oh no, it's saved
• 1:24:44
  actually. Against the slow though it seems
• 1:24:46
  to be slithering through the slow field.
• 1:24:51
  And with Azerza the Wizard Wish having closed in closest, I
• 1:24:56
  think that is going to be the target of the Salamander's
• 1:24:59
  attacks as he closes in. That's going to be a 12 to hit
• 1:25:04
  for the 1st, 1:28 to hit for the second one.
• 1:25:08
  One bite and four claw attacks. 4 claw attacks.
• 1:25:11
  Sorry man. So a 12A28A17-A-17 and an 11.
• 1:25:22
  Is shield a reaction? Yeah, yeah. +5 to AC still, so
• 1:25:26
  just a 14 in a desperate haste to win the wizard race.
• 1:25:30
  I didn't really realize what I was getting myself into and I
• 1:25:33
  whip up the snow around me and harden it into like a a shield
• 1:25:37
  as best I can. Great flavor as this thing
• 1:25:40
  smashes through it and scatter pieces of ice go everywhere as
• 1:25:44
  you're unable to bring this up quickly enough.
• 1:25:45
  At first it looked like this thing had been captured by the
• 1:25:47
  slow spell, but it was just wrapped around the giant's feet
• 1:25:50
  and it slithers quickly across the ice and slams into you,
• 1:25:54
  making one massive bite attack which missed importantly, and
• 1:25:59
  then one other claw attack misses.
• 1:26:00
  But three claw attacks do land here, so that was.
• 1:26:04
  Slow. It has that many attacks.
• 1:26:05
  It wasn't effective. It didn't get slow.
• 1:26:07
  Yeah, beat the wisdom safe. I rolled Max damage on two of
• 1:26:12
  those dice and that is going to be all told.
• 1:26:14
  Let's see 28 damage from tooth and claw as this frost
• 1:26:21
  salamander with different like or bioengineered pieces added on
• 1:26:25
  to it snaps into you with the jaws of a dragon as it cuts into
• 1:26:31
  your flesh. That is 28 damage.
• 1:26:33
  Yeah, and it's all physical, no elemental damage anything.
• 1:26:36
  The bite does actually come with some cold damage, but that is
• 1:26:39
  the one that missed, so no elemental damage here.
• 1:26:42
  Awesome. OK, yeah, I I think there's a
• 1:26:45
  moment where I'm holding the shield and it's clawing at it
• 1:26:48
  and I have a moment like maybe it just needs a pet.
• 1:26:51
  Like I just, I have a moment of sincerity and cracks to the
• 1:26:55
  shield that I let it go to give me a, a hug, quote UN quote.
• 1:26:58
  This rips across my robes. Yeah, and you see, that's the
• 1:27:01
  moment you realize that this thing is less elemental nature
• 1:27:04
  and closer to undead as it is time.
• 1:27:06
  Up next who has not been the quickest of the punch?
• 1:27:10
  No. Time is going to the wish being
• 1:27:17
  attacked, so I want to use my 30 feet of movement to get within
• 1:27:23
  60 feet of wish and the. Salaman, the creature, the
• 1:27:30
  stainful reptile. And he's going to cast momentary
• 1:27:35
  stasis. I forced a creature I can see
• 1:27:38
  within 60 feet to make a con save.
• 1:27:41
  Save DC is 17. Cool.
• 1:27:44
  Oh, I have a + 8 here on this con save.
• 1:27:47
  Girl, I don't. That is what is 9.
• 1:27:51
  Meets a beats it, meets it. Beats it.
• 1:27:53
  OK, OK. Oh, no, no.
• 1:27:56
  Yeah, I can. I can.
• 1:27:57
  Do it if you want me to. As a reaction, I'm going to use
• 1:28:01
  chronal shift. Oh cool, make him re roll.
• 1:28:03
  Make him re roll. OK, cool.
• 1:28:05
  Yeah, Chronal shift is an ability that you're able to
• 1:28:07
  respond to AD 20 test and making, I think.
• 1:28:09
  Time just going to. Go no, there's a natural one on
• 1:28:15
  the die. All right.
• 1:28:16
  Stuff as this, Yeah, this thing is frozen in time.
• 1:28:21
  Tell me what momentary stasis does.
• 1:28:22
  So on a failed save, the creature is encased in a field
• 1:28:25
  of sealing magical energy until the end of your next turn, or
• 1:28:29
  until the creature takes any damage.
• 1:28:31
  So he's kind of just paused while encased in this way, the
• 1:28:34
  creature is paralyzed. On a successful save, the
• 1:28:37
  creature instead has disadvantage on all attack
• 1:28:39
  rules. This would be so.
• 1:28:40
  Discombobulating all of this in a row, I would the way I would
• 1:28:44
  give up. Like the slow, the wave, the
• 1:28:48
  psychic damage, the pause. I'd be like, Oh my God, it's not
• 1:28:51
  fucking worth it, He went to. Wizards, I think after he prized
• 1:28:56
  the the first momentary stasis and then just like no, and then
• 1:29:01
  makes like chronally shifts him again and then he like stays in
• 1:29:03
  place and he's like. Wish take care of yourself, this
• 1:29:07
  one will not bother you anymore. You the the jaws are like frozen
• 1:29:12
  around your neck as you're like suddenly aware of this thing
• 1:29:16
  having been frozen in time. Just don't.
• 1:29:18
  Hit him OK. So I I did take damage.
• 1:29:21
  Though you did take damage but if time was able to freeze it
• 1:29:24
  right as you know that you you get these claw attacks and you
• 1:29:27
  go in for the hug and it just doesn't hurt you after the hug
• 1:29:30
  and then you realize it's frozen.
• 1:29:32
  Awesome. I'm like, well, I see we have
• 1:29:37
  slowly removing my head from I see that.
• 1:29:41
  OK, I I see that we have all made it to the ship.
• 1:29:46
  Yes, I don't think we need to kill these creatures.
• 1:29:49
  We simply need what they are protecting.
• 1:29:52
  Oh, I'd already forgotten about them.
• 1:29:54
  Yes, wish that is you up next. Yeah, I am going to look to my
• 1:29:59
  friends and cast past without a trace.
• 1:30:02
  Oh. OK, cool your friends.
• 1:30:04
  Interesting as Wish looks towards these other Wizards,
• 1:30:09
  Past Without a Trace comes from the Earth's Janossi part of your
• 1:30:13
  character build. I find that inspiring because
• 1:30:14
  that is driven by your vision side.
• 1:30:17
  Have you ever extended your Past Without Trace effect to others
• 1:30:22
  outside of yourself? That's a good question.
• 1:30:24
  I think not actually. I think I've used it many times
• 1:30:27
  for myself and this time I it feels like leaving the door open
• 1:30:32
  to your home. It feels a little vulnerable at
• 1:30:35
  first, but I kind of missed into snow and shadow, and there's
• 1:30:39
  little tendrils that reach out to the Wizards on my sides.
• 1:30:42
  You bring them temporarily into the cycle, which is taboo for
• 1:30:47
  most elementals, but it's just temporarily and it's only
• 1:30:50
  archaeanly so as you give them the ability to hide amongst the
• 1:30:54
  elements that shift around you now.
• 1:30:56
  As a bonus action, I'm also going to class blade board just
• 1:30:59
  in case. I imagine like a almost a
• 1:31:01
  crystal hardening of Janossi skin.
• 1:31:04
  Yeah, I think it's a very elemental.
• 1:31:06
  I do it right before I turn to shadow and mist.
• 1:31:08
  So I think you see like the ice climb up my legs hits the top of
• 1:31:12
  my head and it all like kind of shatters into the snow and ice
• 1:31:15
  and crystal and shadow. So sick.
• 1:31:18
  And Soraya, that is you up next. I mean, I guess we don't have to
• 1:31:22
  kill them to just leave them incapacitated, huh?
• 1:31:24
  True all. Right essentially incapacitated
• 1:31:27
  the frost salamander, so it's one left.
• 1:31:30
  I'm going to have to move 30 feet closer to be within 90
• 1:31:33
  feet. OK.
• 1:31:36
  I'm going to keep inching forward.
• 1:31:38
  Sliding across the ice you near this frost giant and it's frozen
• 1:31:42
  frost salamander. And then can I use thunderstep
• 1:31:46
  that make the explosion happen near them instead of where I
• 1:31:51
  leave? Give me an Arcana check to do
• 1:31:53
  so. We'll say DCDC 20. 23 Arcana.
• 1:31:59
  Do you want to hit the frost element or just the giant?
• 1:32:01
  Just the giant. You're, yeah, you're able to use
• 1:32:04
  Thunderstep in a way as if you you have to like, really hold in
• 1:32:07
  the energy which wants to be released with the momentum of
• 1:32:10
  the jump through space, and instead you hold on to it
• 1:32:14
  tightly. The Arcana check is almost about
• 1:32:16
  like holding your body together as rampant magical force tears
• 1:32:21
  through your physical beam and you magically restrain it within
• 1:32:26
  your spell casting network and you appear in front of the frost
• 1:32:30
  giant and send a wave of Thunder at him.
• 1:32:34
  My goal here is to crack the ice.
• 1:32:36
  As you do so you definitely crack the ice I think.
• 1:32:40
  Give me a luck check. This is going to be fully raw,
• 1:32:43
  just whatever the number is on that die.
• 1:32:45
  Anything below a 10 drops you into the ice.
• 1:32:50
  OK, it also says each creature within 10 feet of the space I
• 1:32:53
  left, but in this case landed in has to make a con saving throw
• 1:32:58
  18 luck check. OK, luck check and that's a save
• 1:33:02
  on the con saving throw. It's a con saving throw of 20.
• 1:33:06
  Yes, with a 24 will save against the full damage, but I think
• 1:33:10
  we'll still take half year from that Thunder step.
• 1:33:14
  OK, 16 damage. Have to eat damage but you still
• 1:33:17
  hurt him and I think send him a little bit of a distance away
• 1:33:20
  with Thunderstep. My goal is to plunge him into
• 1:33:24
  the ice. Oh OK cool, I will give him a
• 1:33:27
  luck check as well. The natural 20.
• 1:33:29
  He slides on the ice and maintains his footing and you
• 1:33:34
  also do not plunge but you open up a greater hole into the ship
• 1:33:37
  down below. Give me a perception check as
• 1:33:39
  you do so. I would love to 13.
• 1:33:44
  You see a skeleton down below, holding the the ship's wheel at
• 1:33:49
  the helm of the ship, seated in what looks to be some sort of
• 1:33:53
  chair is too ordinary a word for it.
• 1:33:56
  He seems to be seated in some sort of tall backed levitating,
• 1:33:59
  now that you're looking at it, chair.
• 1:34:02
  But it's much too magical and grand for that.
• 1:34:04
  It's more not a throne. I guess on a ship you might call
• 1:34:07
  it a helm. The skeleton body sits in this
• 1:34:11
  helm, holding onto the wheel, and you see a almost like the
• 1:34:16
  flag attached to the mast, waving like a flag but made of
• 1:34:20
  rainbow. A beard on the skeleton that
• 1:34:23
  wisps with elemental energies as if waiting to be reawakened.
• 1:34:30
  OK, to end my turn, Soraya is just going to through like
• 1:34:35
  wizard senses and how we were probably communicating earlier.
• 1:34:38
  Just say there's still life left in this ship, We've got to get
• 1:34:42
  it back up into the sky. Just confirming that I feel of
• 1:34:46
  the presence of life in the ship.
• 1:34:48
  Cool as you do. So that is Kwal up next, who is
• 1:34:52
  still under the effects of the slow spell.
• 1:34:55
  Jeez. OK, so he will use half his
• 1:34:59
  movement to stand up from prone and Will, yeah, he's just going
• 1:35:03
  to go for a bow shot. Affected target speed is halved,
• 1:35:05
  so he's using all of his movement to stand up.
• 1:35:08
  I think it actually still he still just use half his movement
• 1:35:10
  but it's halved and half. So he uses 7 1/2 to stand up and
• 1:35:13
  he's got 7 feet of movement left.
• 1:35:14
  But not that it matters, as he will send out one shot of 24 to
• 1:35:19
  hit at a Arizona. Is it?
• 1:35:21
  A spell. This is another arrow as he
• 1:35:25
  raises the gate boat and is able to get the shot off as a javelin
• 1:35:29
  sized arrow heads your way as Arizona.
• 1:35:32
  You will hit, but I'm going to use illusory self.
• 1:35:35
  So you just you see me get struck with the arrow in the
• 1:35:39
  chest and fall over dead, but then there's another me standing
• 1:35:43
  behind that one. So sick.
• 1:35:45
  So do I even? Do I even need to roll damage?
• 1:35:47
  No. Oh so you OK?
• 1:35:49
  You just follow up auto auto miss.
• 1:35:51
  Yeah, it automatically misses. Can't use this feature again for
• 1:35:53
  a short of long rest but so unless I spend 2 spells.
• 1:35:56
  This was the attack to do that on.
• 1:35:58
  So. Cool, I don't know if you were
• 1:36:00
  thinking about but I'm glad you didn't waste it on the other
• 1:36:02
  ones. This was 2 D 10 + 6 plus more
• 1:36:05
  cold damage on top of that just. Just for RPI walk up and I
• 1:36:08
  pulled the javelin out of. The arrow.
• 1:36:11
  The arrow out of my chest. It is long enough and large
• 1:36:14
  enough. You've been looking for a staff?
• 1:36:17
  Yeah. Perfect.
• 1:36:18
  Yeah, capped with this insane amount of arcane crystal, as if
• 1:36:22
  a residue from the spell work. You have this new wizard stuff
• 1:36:26
  in your hand. Has a little ice on the tip.
• 1:36:28
  For sure. Next up, Zoltrock the frost
• 1:36:32
  salamander. But he is frozen in place.
• 1:36:34
  Does he get a save? It is called momentary stasis.
• 1:36:37
  The end of your next turn, or until the creature takes any
• 1:36:40
  damage. OK, cool, so so.
• 1:36:42
  He's still frozen. Still frozen, as that is.
• 1:36:44
  Next up time. Oh.
• 1:36:46
  Great. Oh, this thing is going to
• 1:36:49
  attack me in a moment. Well, I didn't want to hurt the
• 1:36:52
  little. Salamander.
• 1:36:55
  It's an undead zombie salamander.
• 1:36:57
  You're good to hurt it. OK, so fair.
• 1:37:00
  So Truso, right, Yeah, I'm going to do spray of cards, which for
• 1:37:06
  time just look like the shape of a a playing card, but they're
• 1:37:09
  all just like light and kind of spectrally.
• 1:37:12
  So he'll just kind of throw. I love that.
• 1:37:16
  Like darts or something. Kind of hinting at that like
• 1:37:20
  very humble origins that he now hides with light and magic.
• 1:37:25
  These are cards at some on some level, but you send them out
• 1:37:28
  with wizardly finesse. And what's this?
• 1:37:31
  Like you don't even see his hand, it just kind of comes out
• 1:37:33
  of his robe like his tarot. Cards.
• 1:37:36
  No, it just just, Psoriah says. What are those?
• 1:37:41
  Simply vessels. Terrible.
• 1:37:43
  Simply vessels so. Good.
• 1:37:46
  OK, so I'm going to cast that. He needs to make a deck save,
• 1:37:49
  which he's going to fail. Yes, will fail Otto.
• 1:37:52
  I will be upper casting that to a fifth level, so he'll be
• 1:37:57
  hitting 5D-10. Nice 21. 21 hurts badly.
• 1:38:06
  Damn, that is good stuff, and I believe there's an additional
• 1:38:08
  effect. Yeah 15 foot Kona spectral cards
• 1:38:11
  each creature in the area must take deck safety fails I'm.
• 1:38:14
  Going to say the salamander is also within range to take that
• 1:38:17
  damage too. And has the blinded condition
• 1:38:19
  until the end of its next turn. Great, awesome.
• 1:38:21
  So they are both, they are both blinded and hurt by that.
• 1:38:25
  And I think it's somehow poetic as you send out little bits of
• 1:38:28
  light to do damage against this thing.
• 1:38:31
  I imagine the the community one day, that time will one day
• 1:38:35
  lead. Of they'll tell stories of me.
• 1:38:39
  The little bits of light that I leave here and there, that is
• 1:38:42
  going to be Next up the wizard wish.
• 1:38:44
  How are they looking? Pretty bad.
• 1:38:45
  They are officially bloodied and quite near their demise.
• 1:38:49
  Why hold back all right, as is going to pull out dagger out of
• 1:38:55
  his robes and flip it in the air.
• 1:38:58
  Disappear for a second and come back holding the dagger.
• 1:39:02
  But I'm going to be casting Steel Wing Strike.
• 1:39:04
  Cool. Or as a weapon used in casting
• 1:39:07
  and then vanish to strike like the wind chews up to five
• 1:39:10
  creatures you see within range. Make a Melia spell attack
• 1:39:12
  against each target. On a hit, a target takes 6010
• 1:39:16
  force. Damage.
• 1:39:16
  Awesome. Cool, so I got a roll for an
• 1:39:18
  attack here. You become the wind, sharp as a
• 1:39:23
  cutting north wind. It's a Nat 20 + 12.
• 1:39:28
  Wow, OK. You can pick both of our targets
• 1:39:32
  too. Oh shit.
• 1:39:35
  Yeah, that's the dagger's just a component.
• 1:39:37
  So I like as a distraction. I like, flip it up and they
• 1:39:39
  disappear. Melee spell tax will also crit,
• 1:39:45
  so you will be doing double damage with that.
• 1:39:48
  Dang. OK, that's double damage dice.
• 1:39:51
  That's. 12D10 damage. Awesome.
• 1:39:54
  Yeah, against against the the Frost Giant and then we you got
• 1:39:59
  to roll for hit against the salamander.
• 1:40:01
  I want it to look like the the illusion of myself fell and I
• 1:40:04
  was standing there and I just flipped A dagger, disappeared
• 1:40:06
  for a second and he took 114 damage.
• 1:40:11
  The Frost Giant is gone. Can I just say that I made him
• 1:40:13
  disappear? Yeah, you, you fully described
• 1:40:16
  this as this thing is cannot exist in this world given that
• 1:40:21
  you've decided it should be gone.
• 1:40:23
  I think part of my past has been writing the elements and so I
• 1:40:26
  just slip into the elements. I am moving so fast it seems
• 1:40:29
  slow and I just push their chest into the ice until they become
• 1:40:32
  ice and I leave them there. You return them to the cycle so
• 1:40:35
  that they may be healed for the disruption that they are, and
• 1:40:38
  you see some amount of corruption dissipate out of this
• 1:40:43
  elemental nature that you again return to the cycle readily and
• 1:40:48
  easily done your job. There's a that is going to be
• 1:40:50
  Next up the Wizard of. Luck.
• 1:40:52
  Oh, I get to attack the other one.
• 1:40:53
  Oh. Yes you do.
• 1:40:53
  God damn it. That's an 18 hit. 18 will hit,
• 1:40:59
  yes, just barely, but it will. 73 Jesus. 73 is also more than
• 1:41:05
  enough to end this frost salamander as you in a maelstrom
• 1:41:11
  of cutting winds, as if you bring the north wind to cut
• 1:41:16
  through itself. I think.
• 1:41:17
  I think that's actually what happens.
• 1:41:18
  You somehow connect to the north wind that sweeps down and back
• 1:41:23
  up along the continent to fluctuate the temperature across
• 1:41:27
  the entire world. You ask it for a favor and it
• 1:41:31
  cuts in and responds to your call just instinctually and ends
• 1:41:36
  this thing in it's. Made of different parts, right?
• 1:41:38
  Yeah. Can I just createspace between
• 1:41:40
  those parts? Yes 100% and a beautiful,
• 1:41:43
  elegant, strong wind comes and blows them all apart until they
• 1:41:47
  dissolve into dust and snowflakes and gone.
• 1:41:52
  And that is initiative y'all. You guys are welcome to take on
• 1:41:57
  your exploration of the ship as you would.
• 1:41:59
  Does anybody have anything for Gecko scratch?
• 1:42:02
  You're not very subtle, are you? Well, no, that was an
• 1:42:09
  interesting approach. I find the most efficient thing
• 1:42:12
  sometimes can be the creative solution.
• 1:42:16
  Very creative. I'll give you that.
• 1:42:19
  So who won the race? If we say you, will you let it
• 1:42:22
  go? I mean, who touched the butt?
• 1:42:24
  I mean the boat. Everyone give me a.
• 1:42:26
  Perception I Starlight step. As you Starlight step, it is
• 1:42:33
  Soraya that touches the boat first.
• 1:42:35
  I was going to Starlight step into the captain's chair where
• 1:42:37
  the skeleton is. OK, cool. 15 Perception. 14. 17.
• 1:42:43
  17 is the only one to spot it. 15 spots it as well, but you
• 1:42:48
  don't spot it quick enough I think to interact.
• 1:42:49
  But you do see a young boy having prepped up in the midst
• 1:42:54
  of all of this. Oh my God, my God.
• 1:42:57
  And his hand is on the ship just as her eyes touches it, and he
• 1:43:02
  says, so it's a tie. Dragon, you guys.
• 1:43:06
  Really are Wizards. Go.
• 1:43:07
  Home. Oh, you know, with a boy.
• 1:43:10
  You guys, I thought. You guys are no rules, but you
• 1:43:12
  broke the only rule. You weren't invited, boy.
• 1:43:15
  For your safety, you you've got to go home.
• 1:43:17
  Did I do something wrong? There's a gaping hole in the
• 1:43:20
  ice. Yeah, I thought we were all
• 1:43:22
  going to go down there and see what's in there.
• 1:43:23
  I do not accept tagalongs. I could put them in my lamp.
• 1:43:29
  No, that would be inhumane. I could only imagine the state
• 1:43:32
  of your lamp. I keep my lamp clean.
• 1:43:36
  Please, you must be a team of Wizards.
• 1:43:37
  Will you take me with when you leave?
• 1:43:39
  Dragon, this is dangerous. Dragon adventure, please.
• 1:43:42
  Let's give him all his glory. You're right.
• 1:43:48
  Sorry, was that so nice? You're about respecting names.
• 1:43:52
  A name. What a funny con.
• 1:43:54
  You're right. Dragon Adventure.
• 1:43:56
  Where is your telescope? I mean your mother.
• 1:43:58
  Well, I don't, I, I have Miss Hubble, but she I don't, I don't
• 1:44:02
  want to go home. I, I, I was thinking about what
• 1:44:05
  you 2 said. Looks at time and looks at luck.
• 1:44:08
  Time kind of stands up like. Yes, you did.
• 1:44:10
  Looks towards luck. Ever since the stories that keep
• 1:44:14
  filling my brain, I just have to see them for real and I'm I'm
• 1:44:18
  never going to see anything if I don't get out of here.
• 1:44:21
  Will you take me? I don't even have a real name.
• 1:44:25
  You've chosen your your name once, you can choose a new one.
• 1:44:29
  I oh Speaking of, don't call me Dragon Adventure anymore.
• 1:44:33
  I'm a grown up now. I decided when I left.
• 1:44:35
  Oh yes, that's how time works. This is going to bring our
• 1:44:38
  hearts Tig. You can call me Drake Venture.
• 1:44:43
  Oh. Are you sure I can't come with?
• 1:44:47
  Isn't that count Chance's name? There is.
• 1:44:55
  Everyone deserves a home they feel safe in.
• 1:44:58
  I could be your apprentice. I I create a small map with
• 1:45:07
  magic of the lands or of Atlas. Pool.
• 1:45:11
  And I hand it to the little Drake and I say there are
• 1:45:16
  adventures everywhere here. You don't need just one.
• 1:45:20
  But I, I, I never make it out out of this.
• 1:45:23
  He's referring to the mountains in the past, he probably
• 1:45:25
  physically couldn't make it out alone.
• 1:45:27
  And he looks to you, He says, if I'm ever going to see it, I
• 1:45:31
  need, I need a way out. You guys are going to fly out of
• 1:45:35
  here right on the ship. God can't believe I'm going
• 1:45:40
  soft. I mean.
• 1:45:45
  I heard the shows we could drop you off along the way.
• 1:45:50
  Well. Let's see if you like it.
• 1:45:52
  Me. I snap my fingers and there's a
• 1:45:54
  door with that appear. The cast dimension door.
• 1:45:55
  There's a door that appears behind me and the other one's
• 1:45:58
  down somewhere on the ship. Awesome.
• 1:46:00
  Yeah, the the water and ice have dispersed enough and the
• 1:46:03
  buoyancy of the ship has actually brought some of the
• 1:46:05
  front of the ship up and over the ice in all of the turmoil
• 1:46:09
  that you guys have caused up. And so there is not necessarily
• 1:46:12
  dry a open air deck for you guys to doorway through and dimension
• 1:46:18
  door onto. And I think we'll cut to the
• 1:46:21
  point where you have brought Drake Adventure onto the show.
• 1:46:25
  I think he can come along. He's better than better than
• 1:46:27
  dealing with Mrs. Hubble, I mean.
• 1:46:29
  He skips the door. Yes, Eleanor was quite boring.
• 1:46:32
  Oh, boring was your experience. Eleanor.
• 1:46:36
  She was horrid in mine. Wait, when did you meet her?
• 1:46:40
  No matter. I like the dimension door, just
• 1:46:46
  looks like however old the ship is and whatever a door down
• 1:46:50
  there looks like it just appears in the snowstorm.
• 1:46:52
  Yeah, so cool. And like he without hesitation,
• 1:46:55
  which you should definitely hesitate when it like something
• 1:46:57
  like that happens, but he just goes to the door, I think before
• 1:47:00
  all of you, just at Soraya's very subtle nod.
• 1:47:04
  And Soraya's already on the ship.
• 1:47:06
  Yes. Yeah.
• 1:47:07
  And so I just offer to time I I hold the door open and say fine.
• 1:47:12
  Yes, time waits for Nova and I walk through the door.
• 1:47:16
  Always with the quick one liners.
• 1:47:18
  So quick and walking through the door, you appear on the deck of
• 1:47:25
  the ship and I think there's just one last roll here to make,
• 1:47:28
  which is a roll to reignite the ship that you may not even be
• 1:47:31
  wanting to do intentionally. But as you all step near this
• 1:47:34
  bell jamming helm, give me an Arcana check.
• 1:47:37
  Oh, I don't need to create one. Well, I guess we didn't talk
• 1:47:40
  well, why we're all here. I was just planning on putting
• 1:47:43
  the ship in a bottle for my curiosities.
• 1:47:44
  Oh, no, no, no, no, no. You genies in the obsession with
• 1:47:49
  putting things in bottles. How else do you store your
• 1:47:52
  things I. Think the ship has so much life
• 1:47:54
  left in it? Oh, I I believe so when it flew,
• 1:47:58
  but I don't think it does now. Oh.
• 1:48:00
  I have a feeling it does. Are you casting a spell here?
• 1:48:04
  Well, if I've detected that it already has a spell jamming
• 1:48:06
  helm. Does, but I would say that
• 1:48:09
  casting a spell that has anything to do with spell
• 1:48:11
  jamming would aid in this scenario.
• 1:48:13
  I would love to cast create spell jamming helm.
• 1:48:16
  You turn this arcana check into an auto success and this role is
• 1:48:20
  now about quality. 3 roles here from each of you are kind of
• 1:48:23
  based that are now going to determine not just if the ship
• 1:48:27
  comes alive, because it will and it will determine how it comes
• 1:48:31
  alive. One role from each of us, or
• 1:48:32
  three roles from each? Of US1 role from each of you, 3
• 1:48:34
  in total. Any modifier Arcana Oh.
• 1:48:37
  Oh, spell jamming, whenever will they wish to?
• 1:48:40
  17 good time 27 for Soraya. 10. I love it.
• 1:48:48
  Incredibly mid boy we're. Going to check, was it arcana
• 1:48:51
  Arcana O20? Oh fantastic, with a 1720 and a
• 1:48:58
  27 and a 27, this ship rises with wonder.
• 1:49:05
  I think it is slow to start, is the only thing for time cannot
• 1:49:09
  be rushed, and there's a little bit of between wish and timed
• 1:49:13
  energies working to better enhance Soraya spell work to
• 1:49:17
  create the spell jamming helm. There's just a little bit of
• 1:49:20
  dissonance. Somehow Soraya captures that and
• 1:49:24
  turns it into resonance and amongst you 3 Eventually that
• 1:49:28
  dynamic is found between all three of you.
• 1:49:31
  But at first it's with this really strong push and pull in
• 1:49:34
  it. At first it doesn't feel
• 1:49:35
  helpful. Soraya, you tell me what the
• 1:49:38
  spell casting is like as you create a new helm for this ship
• 1:49:43
  to be powered by. The first thing that came to my
• 1:49:46
  mind was the concept of a three legged race, but expanded to
• 1:49:50
  three people. So it would be a 123A4 legged
• 1:49:54
  race where each of like maybe Sarai is in the middle with a
• 1:49:57
  foot tied to lock and a foot tied to Wish, which would be
• 1:50:03
  obviously very tricky start, but eventually you'd find your
• 1:50:06
  groove and you could gain some serious momentum.
• 1:50:09
  Once you're all on the same page.
• 1:50:11
  And you could do it without talking.
• 1:50:12
  You could do it without talking. And I think we just we end up
• 1:50:17
  finding that groove and Soraya says equilibrium.
• 1:50:22
  Fantastic as as you say equilibrium.
• 1:50:26
  I think that is a perfect point to end our session as Spellbeard
• 1:50:30
  comes alive with the ship and says aye this is Spellbeard ship
• 1:50:34
  and then immediately passes out but his body you see is regained
• 1:50:38
  as his bulls in nature fills out and you guys whether you want to
• 1:50:44
  or not start to lift off into the air as this ship is ready to
• 1:50:47
  soar on its own. Water slowly shifts off the side
• 1:50:54
  and falls in little rivulets off the deck as you rise, and big
• 1:50:59
  pieces of ice long caked onto its side start to and fall into
• 1:51:06
  the ice one by one's making massive splashes as you rise
• 1:51:10
  into the air and you have an unconscious pirate Lord,
• 1:51:14
  historically notorious and his ship beneath your feet.
• 1:51:18
  And a small boy. And a small boy.
• 1:51:20
  Witnessing it all. Witnessing it all he says wow
• 1:51:23
  you really are Wizards. This is some crazy wizard shit
• 1:51:26
  as that is our session. Y'all good stuff.
• 1:51:30
  One might call it Wiz Biz. When I say what do I say?
• 1:51:34
  Does as see that there's a gin in front of me?
• 1:51:38
  Did I know before that? Maybe had hints like
• 1:51:40
  instinctually. Maybe that's why you were drawn
• 1:51:42
  here. It hits in hindsight though.
• 1:51:44
  Just for for flavor we can cut this if we want to.
• 1:51:46
  I think I run up and say oh brother and I like go down on a
• 1:51:50
  knee and I accidentally cast reverse gravity to help the
• 1:51:53
  ship. As you say brother, not brother
• 1:51:55
  cousin a child of a different noble Gin, but of family none
• 1:51:59
  the non the less. This is for sure one that you
• 1:52:02
  will come to know well I'm sure as we will just have to find out
• 1:52:05
  next time in Part 2 of the potential of luck.
• 1:52:10

• 1:52:12
