Transcript
- 0:30SPEAKER_16: The last time we played, we had uh an unusual battle where Ventor attempted to take over Einar's mind and his body, but in order to do so had to defeat Einar mentally.
- 0:45SPEAKER_16: Einar being crafty like he is, was able to evade Ventor, giving the outside party enough time to battle the image of the bat that Ventor had to try to recreate.
- 0:58SPEAKER_16: The downside to all of this, Noctus is nowhere to be seen.
- 1:04SPEAKER_16: Seemingly buried beneath the personality of Ventor, inside of Einar.
- 1:10SPEAKER_16: Now you can still see the black ink on Einar's skin, but he's not able to mentally communicate with it.
- 1:17SPEAKER_16: So it is a lost entity to Einar.
- 1:23SPEAKER_16: In doing this, the party has now come to the realization that there are two other people or creatures living inside of Einar.
- 1:34SPEAKER_16: The party then went to rest, discussed what had happened.
- 1:38SPEAKER_16: Mr.
- 1:38SPEAKER_16: Drax would not leave Einar alone for the rest of that night, and was uh a forced chaperone between Oleander and Einar in their room.
- 1:52SPEAKER_16: The group then had a long night's rest, arose the next morning, rolled, having recovered from his explosive diarrhea, rejoins the group.
- 2:04SPEAKER_16: Oh yes, every time a character is not here, they have explosive diarrhea.
- 2:08SPEAKER_16: Got it.
- 2:10SPEAKER_16: Is then able to regroup the rejoin the group the next morning.
- 2:14SPEAKER_16: When they are all sitting around talking, somebody bursts through the door to announce that Silvery Moon has fallen to the orcs.
- 2:25SPEAKER_16: To the orcish army that was turned away at Crystalborough.
- 2:31SPEAKER_16: Not the same army, but of orcish intent.
- 2:37SPEAKER_16: And that's where we left off.
- 2:39SPEAKER_16: So we'll pick it up right from there, as everyone's sitting at the table, and the one soldier is still in the room.
- 2:50SPEAKER_19: All she'd said is that they fell.
- 2:52SPEAKER_19: We actually now know that she f they fell to an orcish army.
- 2:54SPEAKER_16: Yeah, to the orcish army, which I assumed I assumed that you had figured that out.
- 2:59SPEAKER_16: Surmised.
- 3:00SPEAKER_16: Yeah, you had surmised that.
- 3:01SPEAKER_16: No, that's new infus.
- 3:03SPEAKER_21: I'm dumbfounded.
- 3:04SPEAKER_11: Uh you were with me, right, Oleander?
- 3:06SPEAKER_11: I was.
- 3:07SPEAKER_11: Okay.
- 3:07SPEAKER_21: I think we're all there.
- 3:08SPEAKER_21: How could orcs, mere orcs, manage to take over Silvery Moon?
- 3:15SPEAKER_16: And the uh person that came in saying, we don't know all the information is still coming in, but we're we're putting it together that it it seems like fast, fast numbers.
- 3:29SPEAKER_11: Delphine's gone.
- 3:30SPEAKER_11: She's going to the king.
- 3:33SPEAKER_11: Going to the source of the information.
- 3:34SPEAKER_07: I am going to chase after Delphine because I know that this is going to be She's obviously in her elf form too.
- 3:41SPEAKER_11: Very traumatic for her, uh, this kind of news.
- 3:44SPEAKER_13: I am all I'm focused on is her.
- 3:47SPEAKER_13: Okay.
- 3:50SPEAKER_19: Anybody else?
- 3:53SPEAKER_19: I'm letting her go after Delphine.
- 3:55SPEAKER_19: I'm just I'm staring at you, my brother.
- 3:59SPEAKER_19: Straight across the table at Drax.
- 4:01SPEAKER_16: Oh, also, Mr.
- 4:02SPEAKER_16: Drax has survived the night, has he not?
- 4:06SPEAKER_05: He's one day old!
- 4:07SPEAKER_03: He is here the first time.
- 4:09SPEAKER_19: Never.
- 4:09SPEAKER_19: He deserves cake.
- 4:10SPEAKER_19: He chaperoned well.
- 4:12SPEAKER_19: He really did.
- 4:12SPEAKER_19: He cockwalking bastard.
- 4:14SPEAKER_09: And he has his friendship for you till.
- 4:16SPEAKER_11: Okay.
- 4:16SPEAKER_03: It was a traumatic night, but he he pulled through.
- 4:20SPEAKER_11: Persevered.
- 4:22SPEAKER_20: You know, I'll go with uh Delphine and Oliander.
- 4:25SPEAKER_20: Okay.
- 4:26SPEAKER_20: I'm sore.
- 4:27SPEAKER_20: He's just sitting there staring at his brother.
- 4:29SPEAKER_21: I did nothing to you.
- 4:31SPEAKER_21: I'm just dumbfounded and apparently recovering from my illness.
- 4:38SPEAKER_21: Uh sitting at the table saying, I I don't know what happened.
- 4:45SPEAKER_21: I don't know what happened yesterday.
- 4:46SPEAKER_21: I thought I was just helping them out, and then something came over me.
- 4:50SPEAKER_21: I I think I'll I'll just sit with you guys for now.
- 4:53SPEAKER_21: Are you sure you want to?
- 4:56SPEAKER_21: Why why would I not want to?
- 4:59SPEAKER_21: We missed a lot last night.
- 5:01SPEAKER_21: Why?
- 5:02SPEAKER_21: What happened last night while I sat on throne?
- 5:08SPEAKER_19: I let him see the sheen on the tattoo.
- 5:12SPEAKER_19: The red sheen.
- 5:14SPEAKER_19: That ink that we picked up off the giant.
- 5:17SPEAKER_19: Yeah.
- 5:18SPEAKER_19: It's got a name, his name's Ventor.
- 5:21SPEAKER_19: So now you got two things hanging out in your head?
- 5:24SPEAKER_19: No.
- 5:25SPEAKER_19: Noctus is suppressed.
- 5:27SPEAKER_19: Ventor has.
- 5:28SPEAKER_19: Well, where'd he go?
- 5:30SPEAKER_19: I don't know about the answers.
- 5:33SPEAKER_19: He's somewhere inside.
- 5:35SPEAKER_19: Or consumed.
- 5:36SPEAKER_19: I I'm figuring this out.
- 5:37SPEAKER_19: So you don't know?
- 5:38SPEAKER_19: No, he attacked the party and we've come to an accord.
- 5:41SPEAKER_19: But we also know that there's more.
- 5:43SPEAKER_19: It's not just these two.
- 5:45SPEAKER_19: We learned we learned that their leader, or their whoever their answer to, Umbrix is actually here as well.
- 5:51SPEAKER_19: I have my suspicions as as to where.
- 5:54SPEAKER_19: Who's Umbrix?
- 5:55SPEAKER_19: Umbrix is the the entity that is the alpha, the person they answer to, the creature.
- 6:04SPEAKER_19: So there's more than the two.
- 6:07SPEAKER_19: Well, we've talked about the fall of Umbrix and the passing of that comet 40 years ago.
- 6:12SPEAKER_19: Seems like there was more than one something that fell through it.
- 6:20SPEAKER_19: And we know that it has some ties to what the wretched dawn is interested in.
- 6:26SPEAKER_19: And these orcs aren't doing it alone.
- 6:28SPEAKER_19: They were working with Wretched, like, let's put the pieces together here.
- 6:32SPEAKER_19: We need to find out if anything's happened to Elaney.
- 6:35SPEAKER_19: If Silvery Moon's have been attacked, how do we simultaneous to an attack going on on Crystalboro that we prevented within days?
- 6:42SPEAKER_19: An attack that seems to have come against this village that they said seemed more intense than normal.
- 6:49SPEAKER_19: So why why didn't we go with them to the king then?
- 6:52SPEAKER_19: I am way too sore, and we shouldn't all be interrupting, and we have things to discuss here.
- 6:58SPEAKER_19: Yeah, it was quite the night.
- 6:59SPEAKER_21: Well, I say, well, all I got up to was played with this bow, but it's of no use to me.
- 7:05SPEAKER_21: It doesn't seem to have the same powers it did in the hands of well, Antwerp?
- 7:12SPEAKER_21: Would it be useful to you?
- 7:15SPEAKER_19: I've waved away, shaking my head and going.
- 7:19SPEAKER_19: I've also learned that these things aren't How do I word this?
- 7:27SPEAKER_19: Any powers that I have or anything that I'm doing doesn't come from them.
- 7:30SPEAKER_19: They enhance the individual.
- 7:32SPEAKER_19: They feed off of it from what I'm not feed, enhance, and feed into it, but that giant was pulling that bow.
- 7:40SPEAKER_19: I'm not versed well with that.
- 7:42SPEAKER_21: Alright, well, I'll give it to Drax then say, Drax, do you wanna put this in your magical bag?
- 7:47SPEAKER_21: Sure.
- 7:48SPEAKER_21: No problem.
- 7:49SPEAKER_21: Because there must be something special about it.
- 7:51SPEAKER_19: Reach for the the bow.
- 7:54SPEAKER_19: This is troubling.
- 7:56SPEAKER_19: Simultaneous a large army of orcs attacking Silvery Moon.
- 8:00SPEAKER_19: I've never been there, but a large army would not topple a laney on its own.
- 8:05SPEAKER_21: No, we must have had help, but it just amazed me that they had enough orcs to actually even think about attacking Silver.
- 8:12SPEAKER_21: I thought that was a great city.
- 8:15SPEAKER_19: We should talk more to Delphine when she's done whatever she She's from there.
- 8:20SPEAKER_19: She'll know more about the city itself.
- 8:24SPEAKER_16: Alright, as you three break out of the building, the cold air hits your face.
- 8:32SPEAKER_16: Colder this morning than it was the previous night.
- 8:34SPEAKER_16: It does seem a storm is rolling in.
- 8:37SPEAKER_09: Well, luckily we have nice new coats.
- 8:39SPEAKER_16: Yeah, you guys are all Yeah, they have one for you, by the way, too.
- 8:42SPEAKER_16: So you do have a winter coat.
- 8:43SPEAKER_11: A special winter coat.
- 8:44SPEAKER_11: He says too rolled.
- 8:47SPEAKER_16: As you uh traips across.
- 8:49SPEAKER_16: I don't think she's traipsing.
- 8:51SPEAKER_16: Well, or stomping or bolting.
- 8:54SPEAKER_09: Bolting or something.
- 8:54SPEAKER_09: Forensically bolting.
- 8:56SPEAKER_16: The king's tent.
- 8:57SPEAKER_16: You're stopped by a pair of guards that are standing outside, and they just say, bolt there.
- 9:03SPEAKER_16: My king is in a meeting.
- 9:04SPEAKER_11: I need to know what happened in Silvery Moon.
- 9:07SPEAKER_11: I have family there.
- 9:09SPEAKER_11: I well I We just saved you from giants.
- 9:15SPEAKER_16: Roll a persuasion challenge.
- 9:19SPEAKER_11: So 20.
- 9:20SPEAKER_11: I know, I know.
- 9:21SPEAKER_11: Well, let me enjoy it.
- 9:22SPEAKER_11: 21.
- 9:23SPEAKER_05: Let me enjoy it.
- 9:24SPEAKER_16: Alright, yeah, so yeah, for sure.
- 9:26SPEAKER_16: He's all of a sudden he's like, well, you know, actually, yeah, I know I know he did that.
- 9:29SPEAKER_16: That was pretty cool.
- 9:30SPEAKER_16: Um, just one moment.
- 9:32SPEAKER_16: And he looks at his partner, and his partner just shrugs and he goes, Oh, hold on.
- 9:37SPEAKER_16: And he and he goes into the tent, and you can hear this whispering, and then, what?
- 9:42SPEAKER_16: I told you not I would be disturbed.
- 9:43SPEAKER_16: What have you done?
- 9:44SPEAKER_16: He comes back out and he's all cheapish and he goes, King will see you now.
- 9:50SPEAKER_16: Opens the tent.
- 9:52SPEAKER_16: Probably been uh demoted, but he uh he opens the tent and lets you go in.
- 9:56SPEAKER_11: Okay, I'll go in and be like, Your Majesty, thank you so much.
- 9:59SPEAKER_11: I'm sorry for this impertinence.
- 10:02SPEAKER_11: That's my home.
- 10:03SPEAKER_11: What happened at Silvery Moon?
- 10:04SPEAKER_11: It's fallen.
- 10:05SPEAKER_16: And he seems like uh you so in there you see uh Thrain Ironbeard, who is the king of Winter Forge.
- 10:11SPEAKER_16: There's also a couple of generals around the table as well, and they're looking at is a map of Ephera, and they're looking at the area where Silvery Moon is, which you know to be at the southern point of the map, which is on that uh on that bay of storms.
- 10:29SPEAKER_16: And uh you can see that they have moved a couple of figurines that look to be orcish in nature, they're they're roughly carved out of ice, and uh there looks to be lots.
- 10:44SPEAKER_16: And his face is hard at first when you walk in, but when you say, you know, my family was there, this was my my place I need to know, you see his uh features are softened.
- 10:54SPEAKER_16: I did not know that you were of Silvery Moon.
- 10:57SPEAKER_16: I'm sorry to hear this.
- 10:59SPEAKER_16: But the information that we have gotten is uh the city has been sacked.
- 11:05SPEAKER_16: We don't know much more details than that.
- 11:08SPEAKER_16: Um black.
- 11:17SPEAKER_16: They are not being received even.
- 11:19SPEAKER_16: I tried that as well with someone I know who's there, and I and then across the room is another dwarf who is arcane, seems to be maybe the wizard that helps the king, and he says to you as well, confirms, yeah, it seems like the sending message is just hitting a wall.
- 11:38SPEAKER_07: What could cause this?
- 11:39SPEAKER_07: What could cause this barrier from your knowledge that you guys have gathered?
- 11:45SPEAKER_11: What could possibly be causing this?
- 11:47SPEAKER_16: When you watch as they all kind of look at each other and they're like, honestly, this is beyond anything that I've ever seen.
- 11:54SPEAKER_16: And the wizards says I'm in conversation with Elainey right now, trying to ascertain what level of magic this could be to just.
- 12:04SPEAKER_11: Elaine's not under attack, is it?
- 12:06SPEAKER_16: Um doesn't appear.
- 12:08SPEAKER_16: We're still getting messages into Elainey.
- 12:10SPEAKER_11: How did you hear about Silvery Moon?
- 12:12SPEAKER_16: We got a message, a sending message immediately.
- 12:16SPEAKER_09: From who?
- 12:17SPEAKER_16: From one of their one of their contacts.
- 12:19SPEAKER_16: Like the wizard was receiving messages late in the night and received one from Silvery Moon about an attack being imminent, and then shortly after that, it was another message that was sent to him without him responding to the first one that the walls have been breached, the city is lost, we're evacu, and then it was over before he had a chance to finish the message.
- 12:45SPEAKER_07: We suspect that there's some sort of magical intervention going on that is blocking all communication, not that uh uh we're not suspecting that everyone's dead.
- 12:55SPEAKER_16: I uh we don't know.
- 12:57SPEAKER_16: Um, all we know is that whatever attempts that we're making to get in to Silvery Moon to get information out is not happening.
- 13:07SPEAKER_11: The person I was in contact with who hasn't responded to my sending, before he got there, he thought he's close to the king, and he thought there was treachery at the highest levels.
- 13:21SPEAKER_16: And as you say that, they kind of look back and forth to each other.
- 13:27SPEAKER_16: And uh off to the side of the king is uh Rurik Goldspike, who is one of his military advisors, and he just sees a gruff-looking dwarf, shorter than the rest of them, but like stocky and wide, and he kind of raises an eyebrow back to the king and goes, Hey, well that would explain how orcs were able to breach a city of a Elsen.
- 13:54SPEAKER_16: If there was some sort of treachery within the ranks of the royal family, perhaps maybe they were let in through the back door.
- 14:03SPEAKER_16: That's the only thing that I can imagine.
- 14:06SPEAKER_11: Do you know the clan of the orcs?
- 14:08SPEAKER_11: Or just that it was orcs?
- 14:10SPEAKER_16: We well, all we know is that when the sending message came, they said orcs are at the gate.
- 14:16SPEAKER_16: The city is under attack, and then the next message was that it was lost.
- 14:21SPEAKER_20: I wonder if it's the same thing that happened at uh Crystal Boro with something I think of.
- 14:27SPEAKER_13: I think that everywhere is in danger right now, and whatever is happening, they're trying to destabilizing.
- 14:34unknown: Yeah.
- 14:34SPEAKER_13: They're trying to get everywhere that they can.
- 14:38SPEAKER_11: Will you let me know if you hear anything else?
- 14:41SPEAKER_16: I of course, of course.
- 14:43SPEAKER_16: The king is kind of um pulls you aside, he goes.
- 14:48SPEAKER_16: I don't know what I'm going to find out.
- 14:51SPEAKER_16: But I've got a bad feeling about this.
- 14:53SPEAKER_16: I don't know if you want to stay and continue what you've planned here.
- 14:58SPEAKER_09: We've made a commitment to you.
- 15:01SPEAKER_11: And there's no sense in me running into something headfirst without knowing what I'm getting into.
- 15:06SPEAKER_16: He breathes a sigh of relief.
- 15:08SPEAKER_16: And he says, Alright then, well, if you would make yourself well acquainted with our wizard, there will be an hopefully he can update you with whatever we find out.
- 15:19SPEAKER_16: I'll make sure he's in the loop, and then buy you by him an extension to you as well.
- 15:24SPEAKER_11: Yes.
- 15:25SPEAKER_11: I'll try.
- 15:26SPEAKER_11: I don't know if the people I know are there are still there, but I'll try to keep contacting them.
- 15:30SPEAKER_16: Well, so Rorik as well spike spikes up and he goes, I don't think it would be a bad idea if we were to send, you know, some tunes and army down.
- 15:40SPEAKER_16: Perhaps we could take a look for ourselves.
- 15:43SPEAKER_16: Maybe not engage with these works, but have an idea of the numbers or the damages.
- 15:50SPEAKER_08: On the other side of the continent.
- 15:52SPEAKER_17: Well, I mean, we don't have to walk, do we?
- 15:55SPEAKER_17: Anyone's at the wizard.
- 15:57SPEAKER_17: Right.
- 15:58SPEAKER_08: So they have a way to transport teleportation to want to buy the ingredients off of.
- 16:06SPEAKER_16: Yeah, he's uh he's like, with your permission, King, I'll put together an expedition.
- 16:12SPEAKER_16: The king's like, well, I I'm I'm okay with it, just don't take too many.
- 16:18SPEAKER_16: Like, we are still under attack here quite often.
- 16:21SPEAKER_11: If I if I may, I understand if you're not able to divulge the information.
- 16:25SPEAKER_11: Who was your contact?
- 16:28SPEAKER_11: Uh I just wonder if I know them as well.
- 16:31SPEAKER_16: Uh probably.
- 16:34SPEAKER_16: The wizard's like.
- 16:37SPEAKER_16: It's uh, yeah, it's somebody in Silver Remote.
- 16:42SPEAKER_09: Ask about that.
- 16:43SPEAKER_19: His name is De Kendrick's Boblethorpe.
- 16:48SPEAKER_19: Amy McNamerson.
- 16:50SPEAKER_17: Jeff.
- 16:52SPEAKER_17: He's Bob.
- 16:54SPEAKER_13: Mike and Kimball.
- 16:56SPEAKER_11: Mike and Kimball.
- 16:57SPEAKER_11: This is my dog.
- 16:58SPEAKER_11: Mike?
- 16:59SPEAKER_11: What was his dog's name?
- 17:00SPEAKER_16: Oh, yeah.
- 17:03SPEAKER_16: You remember him.
- 17:07SPEAKER_11: Do I remember this?
- 17:08SPEAKER_11: Do I know this person?
- 17:09SPEAKER_11: Sure.
- 17:09SPEAKER_16: Maybe why don't you roll a history check?
- 17:11SPEAKER_16: We'll see.
- 17:12SPEAKER_11: It was an acquaintance of your father.
- 17:13SPEAKER_11: You didn't know him well.
- 17:15SPEAKER_11: You knew of him.
- 17:16SPEAKER_11: Well, just wait.
- 17:18SPEAKER_11: Yeah, I told you.
- 17:20SPEAKER_11: 29.
- 17:21SPEAKER_11: 29.
- 17:22SPEAKER_11: Acquaintance of the public.
- 17:24SPEAKER_16: You actually went to high school with this guy.
- 17:27SPEAKER_11: Well, no, because I never went to public school.
- 17:29SPEAKER_11: No, you never went to public school, but you're probably someone my father's.
- 17:34SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 17:34SPEAKER_16: Yeah, he also knows uh Faron as well.
- 17:37SPEAKER_16: Uh Aether Valorian is his name.
- 17:40SPEAKER_16: Uh a formal noble, well-suited uh mage to the council and arch wizard of Silvery Boon.
- 17:46SPEAKER_09: She's like, I knew him, I knew him once.
- 17:48SPEAKER_09: I did.
- 17:49SPEAKER_09: A long time ago.
- 17:50SPEAKER_16: Well, that is our contact.
- 17:52SPEAKER_16: Um, you can uh you can attempt to reach him if you want, but we've had no problem.
- 17:58SPEAKER_11: I'll I'll try reaching out to others.
- 18:00SPEAKER_11: I assume you're gonna keep trying.
- 18:02SPEAKER_16: Oh yes, we'll not stop.
- 18:04SPEAKER_16: And then Rorik turns to you three and he says, I'm putting together this elite team.
- 18:13SPEAKER_16: Do you have anyone from your party that you would like to include?
- 18:17SPEAKER_11: To send down there?
- 18:18SPEAKER_16: To go with us.
- 18:19SPEAKER_11: I think we're all needed for the problem here.
- 18:22SPEAKER_20: Yeah, we have to finish what we came to promise you guys for here before we go.
- 18:26SPEAKER_11: Your ma his majesty already didn't want to deplete your resources too much.
- 18:30SPEAKER_01: Alright, well the offer is there.
- 18:33SPEAKER_11: How long are they wanting?
- 18:35SPEAKER_11: How long are you sending people for?
- 18:36SPEAKER_11: Is this something quick and come back just as a pair of eyes, or are you wanting an intervention?
- 18:44SPEAKER_11: I can take us there as well if I get the proper consumables.
- 18:49SPEAKER_01: We need eyes on the ground for information.
- 18:53SPEAKER_01: We're not engaging.
- 18:54SPEAKER_01: We're going down there, we're getting a look, we're coming straight back.
- 18:59SPEAKER_07: I'm just thinking that if we're going to be gathering ourselves for a couple days, it might be helpful to have somebody just go in lay eyes.
- 19:09SPEAKER_11: In the I don't I don't trust it.
- 19:13SPEAKER_08: We might end up stuck there.
- 19:15SPEAKER_08: That's true.
- 19:17SPEAKER_11: We have to talk to everyone else anyway.
- 19:19SPEAKER_11: We will come to the street.
- 19:20SPEAKER_11: It's not a decision we can make ourselves.
- 19:22SPEAKER_11: When do you expect to be leaving?
- 19:25SPEAKER_15: I within the day.
- 19:27unknown: Okay.
- 19:28SPEAKER_13: We will get back to you if we think that one of us would be able to go with.
- 19:35SPEAKER_16: Right.
- 19:35SPEAKER_16: He comes right up to you and he is like, he's like below your chin.
- 19:39SPEAKER_16: And he goes, I see you get to me sooner than later.
- 19:42SPEAKER_16: And he goes, and he stomps out to go create his elite Orvin team.
- 19:48SPEAKER_11: Bow nicely to the king, be like, thank you, Your Majesty.
- 19:52SPEAKER_16: If there's anything else that I can be of help with, please let me know.
- 19:55SPEAKER_16: Until then, I'll be here organizing what I can.
- 19:58SPEAKER_16: Trying to send the aid down there.
- 20:01SPEAKER_13: I will try and pull Delphine away gently.
- 20:05SPEAKER_13: I know that she's in a bit of turmoil at the moment hearing about.
- 20:12SPEAKER_16: You want to leave the war tent?
- 20:13SPEAKER_11: Yeah, I I'm going to put um Goody though.
- 20:17SPEAKER_11: I'm gonna pull her just gently out of the war tent.
- 20:20SPEAKER_13: Okay.
- 20:21SPEAKER_11: I allow you to pull me out of the war tent.
- 20:23SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
- 20:25SPEAKER_11: Are you okay?
- 20:26SPEAKER_11: I know, I know you're not okay.
- 20:27SPEAKER_11: Pretend I didn't even ask that.
- 20:29SPEAKER_11: That was the stupidest question.
- 20:30SPEAKER_11: I can't believe I asked that.
- 20:31SPEAKER_11: I know you're not okay, and I'm so sorry.
- 20:33SPEAKER_11: And just I want you to know that we are here for you.
- 20:38SPEAKER_11: And I know this is gonna be an absolutely horrible time for you.
- 20:42SPEAKER_07: I can't even imagine how I would feel to hear that my family has been through something not knowing the state of their safety.
- 20:57SPEAKER_11: If there's anything I can do at all, I need information.
- 21:03SPEAKER_11: I need to do contact people.
- 21:06SPEAKER_11: Just tell me how I can help.
- 21:09SPEAKER_11: I know that find them the boys.
- 21:11SPEAKER_11: I don't know where they are.
- 21:13SPEAKER_11: Lingering over bacon, probably.
- 21:15SPEAKER_11: We'll go find the boys.
- 21:17SPEAKER_11: That's fine.
- 21:18SPEAKER_11: And I know that separating is not always a great idea.
- 21:23SPEAKER_11: I I do understand that having somebody go and gather information while the rest of us are preparing for whatever we need to do with to find this dragon and whatever's happening with it.
- 21:40SPEAKER_11: I'm not always useful sitting around.
- 21:42SPEAKER_11: We've had this discussion.
- 21:44SPEAKER_11: You're very useful.
- 21:45SPEAKER_11: You as yourself.
- 21:51SPEAKER_20: No.
- 21:53SPEAKER_16: What are you three up to?
- 21:54SPEAKER_16: So you guys are sitting this only takes about ten minutes, so you guys are.
- 21:57SPEAKER_19: I know I mean then looking dead serious rolls.
- 22:00SPEAKER_19: Something else you need to know, and then then I'm going to ask of you.
- 22:03SPEAKER_19: Ventor is a more aggressive, stronger.
- 22:06SPEAKER_19: He had the ability to spread from me and try to attack and infect Trax and Oleander during the combat.
- 22:16SPEAKER_19: He tried to spread on it.
- 22:18SPEAKER_19: I thought he was just in your mind.
- 22:19SPEAKER_19: No, we we battled.
- 22:21SPEAKER_19: He he defeated me and took old Toknoftus's place.
- 22:25SPEAKER_19: That's what happened.
- 22:26SPEAKER_19: But we came to an accord.
- 22:27SPEAKER_19: I want you to help me enforce it if I can't trust Ventor to hold it.
- 22:35SPEAKER_19: That's as my brother's been informed.
- 22:37SPEAKER_19: And why we paused as the others left.
- 22:39SPEAKER_19: Two of our party won't probably be able to take the extreme measures that might be needed.
- 22:44SPEAKER_19: And if Ventor tries to spread to others, I need you to help my brother stop me.
- 22:51SPEAKER_19: If I can't control him.
- 22:53SPEAKER_21: And he needs to know this.
- 22:54SPEAKER_21: I'm just shaking my head.
- 22:55SPEAKER_19: Another few afflictions.
- 22:58SPEAKER_19: Not afflictions.
- 23:00SPEAKER_19: I have symbiotic parasitic creatures enhancing my what I already need to do to get to that fountain.
- 23:09SPEAKER_19: We have to find that.
- 23:10SPEAKER_19: The fountain will help us, Madeline Joseph.
- 23:13SPEAKER_19: They need to be returned to where they came from, the only way.
- 23:16SPEAKER_19: Otherwise, simply spread to others and be and it's not just them.
- 23:22SPEAKER_21: I assure you, if you are threatening anyone that is innocent or hasn't deserved your fate, I will have no problem putting an arrow between the things.
- 23:35SPEAKER_19: We're not talking about hurting, we're talking if you see if you see it spreading off of me.
- 23:40SPEAKER_19: I'm not sure anyone to stop it.
- 23:44SPEAKER_19: But that's when you shoot me.
- 23:54SPEAKER_21: Mr.
- 23:54SPEAKER_21: Drags.
- 23:55SPEAKER_19: I knew I could trust you to shoot me, Roll.
- 23:57SPEAKER_16: Mr.
- 23:57SPEAKER_16: Drags is sitting there taking us all in, and he's like, Oh brother! I got your back.
- 24:03SPEAKER_19: I know, we're your trustures.
- 24:07SPEAKER_21: I hope it doesn't come to that, but I have told all of you again and again the things you model with are you're missing the point.
- 24:17SPEAKER_19: I am its life force.
- 24:18SPEAKER_19: If I'm taking away, it cannot hurt others.
- 24:21SPEAKER_19: And then I would hope he would be a good companion, but I'm not asking you to save me afterwards.
- 24:25SPEAKER_19: I'll leave that to others I trust to bring.
- 24:28SPEAKER_21: Of course, I would want to save you.
- 24:31SPEAKER_21: Just not the other thing.
- 24:34SPEAKER_03: Just like I said.
- 24:37SPEAKER_03: This uh this entity Ventor, he is a lot more dangerous than than his previous uh I guess symbiote.
- 24:47SPEAKER_03: This one is dangerous, can spread, will attack, is more aggressive.
- 24:52SPEAKER_03: I don't trust it.
- 24:54SPEAKER_03: We tried to take it off of Einar, but were unsuccessful.
- 25:00SPEAKER_03: I show him the scars.
- 25:01SPEAKER_03: It is strong.
- 25:02SPEAKER_03: I show him the scars as you're saying this.
- 25:04SPEAKER_03: I tried ripping it with my own two hands off of it and couldn't do it.
- 25:07SPEAKER_03: Alright, well, I'll do what I must.
- 25:10SPEAKER_19: I don't mess with these.
- 25:12SPEAKER_19: You I thought it was a piece of Noctus.
- 25:15SPEAKER_19: I had no idea there's more of them.
- 25:16SPEAKER_19: He was sad when it seemed to be shriveling and dying.
- 25:18SPEAKER_19: It was a mistake, but it was one done out of not just curiosity, but empathy and curiosity to the only thing that resembles anything like what's on me that I've ever heard of or seen anywhere.
- 25:30SPEAKER_19: Do I regret?
- 25:31SPEAKER_19: No.
- 25:32SPEAKER_19: Would I do it again?
- 25:33SPEAKER_19: Without the knowledge?
- 25:34SPEAKER_19: Yes.
- 25:35SPEAKER_19: In the future?
- 25:36SPEAKER_19: No! Gosh, no, God, did that hurt! I've never been through more pain in my life.
- 25:41SPEAKER_03: Brother, I trust you.
- 25:43SPEAKER_03: But I hope you understand why I had Mr.
- 25:45SPEAKER_03: Drax keep watch last night.
- 25:47SPEAKER_03: I know you had your dear Oilyander there, but I don't trust Ventor.
- 25:51SPEAKER_03: I trust you.
- 25:52SPEAKER_03: I whispered cocklaw, but I do not trust Ventor.
- 25:55SPEAKER_16: I nod.
- 25:56SPEAKER_16: Don't think that I enjoy doing that either, brother.
- 26:00SPEAKER_17: You seem to.
- 26:01SPEAKER_16: You seemed to.
- 26:03SPEAKER_16: I was just doing what I was told.
- 26:04SPEAKER_16: Gave Mr.
- 26:05SPEAKER_16: Drax a night off.
- 26:08SPEAKER_19: I I quizzically look at you for a moment and then just fall back next.
- 26:11SPEAKER_19: Yeah.
- 26:12SPEAKER_19: That was good of you to do so.
- 26:13SPEAKER_19: I mean, he needed the rest, he's never made it through a single night.
- 26:16SPEAKER_19: It's good that you let him do it.
- 26:17SPEAKER_19: You're taking my advice about treating him a little more like a person with your soul.
- 26:21SPEAKER_16: Alright, you three, Oleander, Delphine, and Druken, are you coming back to the inn?
- 26:28SPEAKER_11: Yes.
- 26:28SPEAKER_16: Okay.
- 26:29SPEAKER_11: Yeah, I'm allowing myself to be brought back to the inn.
- 26:31SPEAKER_11: But I'm already pro like writing in my head sendings.
- 26:36SPEAKER_16: As they've uh as they've already, as they have finished that line of their conversation, you guys come back in through the doors, which were left open in your haste to get out.
- 26:46SPEAKER_20: I closed the door behind me.
- 26:48SPEAKER_20: What a guy.
- 26:48SPEAKER_16: What a guy.
- 26:49SPEAKER_11: Delphine is visibly distracted and distressed.
- 26:52SPEAKER_11: Not paying attention to you guys.
- 26:54SPEAKER_11: What happened?
- 26:54SPEAKER_11: I'm counting words in my head.
- 26:56SPEAKER_11: I'm processing.
- 26:57SPEAKER_07: The king told us that uh they were in the middle of receiving sendings from somebody in Silvery Moon.
- 27:05SPEAKER_13: Uh Delphine has met this person.
- 27:08SPEAKER_13: I'm I'm not sure.
- 27:09SPEAKER_07: I I don't recall their name off the top of my head, but they were sending that they were being attacked, and then they sent that they were that the town had been the town had been taken, that there was no hope.
- 27:22SPEAKER_07: And there's a complete block on sendings.
- 27:25SPEAKER_07: Nothing is going through.
- 27:26SPEAKER_07: It's it's like there's a barricade.
- 27:28SPEAKER_07: How do they get preventing it?
- 27:31SPEAKER_09: It's more than one camp.
- 27:33unknown: Yeah.
- 27:34SPEAKER_20: Nobody knows.
- 27:36SPEAKER_20: There has to be treachery.
- 27:38SPEAKER_20: And there's a loud thump as I hit my head on the table.
- 27:41SPEAKER_20: Or I think this is a little bit more.
- 27:45SPEAKER_20: I need to get my sister if there's.
- 27:48SPEAKER_20: But that's in she's not in silvery moon.
- 27:50SPEAKER_20: There's a lane.
- 27:52SPEAKER_20: As far as we know, Elaine's not under attack yet.
- 27:54SPEAKER_11: We're gonna contact them.
- 27:56SPEAKER_11: I'm gonna contact them.
- 27:58SPEAKER_19: There's a large thump on the table, as Einar balks his head on it, and then holds his hand up in frustration, going, We already know we're dealing with enemies that are using these crystals to teleport from one place to another.
- 28:10SPEAKER_19: We've seen this.
- 28:11SPEAKER_19: Right at that scale?
- 28:13SPEAKER_19: They've been preparing for a while.
- 28:15SPEAKER_19: We have figured this out.
- 28:16SPEAKER_19: We can't discount things like that.
- 28:18SPEAKER_19: It's not about how they got there right now.
- 28:19SPEAKER_19: It's about that it's happened.
- 28:21SPEAKER_19: What are we gonna do it about it after we deal with the things here?
- 28:25SPEAKER_19: This this world is under siege.
- 28:27SPEAKER_19: It needs us to it needs people like us, groups like us, that have knowledge about this to unite and work with the areas around it and fight back against what's happening.
- 28:35SPEAKER_19: Elaine hasn't been attacked yet, but it had it's an attack under attack right now from within.
- 28:42SPEAKER_19: It's only two days since Crystal Boro's been attacked simultaneous to one going on here at Silvery Moon.
- 28:47SPEAKER_11: Theron was just arriving at Silvery Moon when we were leaving Crystalboro.
- 28:51SPEAKER_11: That's the last I heard from him.
- 28:53SPEAKER_20: But as we know right now, they are sending some troops down to Silvery Moon to investigate from here.
- 29:01SPEAKER_20: Delphine, do you want us to go?
- 29:02SPEAKER_11: We've made a commitment here.
- 29:03SPEAKER_11: We have no information.
- 29:05SPEAKER_11: I don't particularly like diving headfirst into things I don't understand.
- 29:10SPEAKER_19: I hate to break it, Tia.
- 29:11SPEAKER_19: If we go down into the mines, we're diving into something that we don't completely understand.
- 29:15SPEAKER_20: Something that we promised that would help these guys.
- 29:18SPEAKER_20: We need to get this done first, and then we can do what we're doing.
- 29:20SPEAKER_11: The king is also the king is also sending a group.
- 29:26SPEAKER_11: He did ask if any of us would like to go, but I don't know that we should split the party when we don't know if he'll ever come back.
- 29:36SPEAKER_21: Do we think the giants are connected to the Retidon too?
- 29:39SPEAKER_11: We don't they're being used.
- 29:42SPEAKER_21: We're at least doing something here.
- 29:44SPEAKER_21: I do need to get back to Elaine as soon as possible.
- 29:46SPEAKER_11: I agree.
- 29:47SPEAKER_11: I do I am concerned for your sister and for all those children.
- 29:50SPEAKER_03: I'd be willing to volunteer my echo.
- 29:53SPEAKER_11: Can you go that far?
- 29:55SPEAKER_03: We could try.
- 29:57SPEAKER_03: Same plane.
- 29:58SPEAKER_03: If you want to try that.
- 30:00SPEAKER_11: I'm gonna say it a little quietly so Mr.
- 30:02SPEAKER_11: Drax doesn't hear.
- 30:04SPEAKER_11: Or actually, no, I'm gonna direct it to Mr.
- 30:06SPEAKER_11: Drax, but I'm talking to you.
- 30:08SPEAKER_11: Can your echo can you see through your echo that from that far a distance, or is it a short distance?
- 30:15SPEAKER_01: Well, I don't know.
- 30:17SPEAKER_01: I've never sent him that far before.
- 30:19SPEAKER_01: I could try.
- 30:20SPEAKER_01: I know.
- 30:21SPEAKER_11: Would you feel more comfortable yourself going talking to Echo now?
- 30:25SPEAKER_16: Well no, I've committed myself here.
- 30:27SPEAKER_16: I mean, I'd send Mr.
- 30:28SPEAKER_16: Drax, though.
- 30:29SPEAKER_03: I've switched consciousness before.
- 30:31SPEAKER_11: That's a really long way.
- 30:34SPEAKER_11: I mean, let me let me see who I can get a hold of.
- 30:38SPEAKER_03: I I I Drax leans into Delphine, just kind of whispers.
- 30:44SPEAKER_03: What's the worst that can happen?
- 30:48SPEAKER_11: Your mind and consciousness are stuck there.
- 30:51SPEAKER_03: No, but I switch after he's already made it there.
- 30:55SPEAKER_11: Well, you're gonna have to convince him to make it there.
- 31:00SPEAKER_02: Hey, Drax, I I think you should go.
- 31:06SPEAKER_16: All right.
- 31:07SPEAKER_16: Listen.
- 31:09SPEAKER_16: My place is here with my friends.
- 31:11SPEAKER_16: You're the echo.
- 31:12SPEAKER_16: I'm gonna send you.
- 31:13SPEAKER_16: I think you should go.
- 31:14SPEAKER_11: I'm gonna grab Mr.
- 31:15SPEAKER_11: Drax's hand and be like, I feel like we've really formed a really good bond.
- 31:20SPEAKER_11: And I'm really worried for my family.
- 31:23SPEAKER_11: And I just I don't I don't think anyone else here is tough enough to to go look, to go see, to I I need to hear from them.
- 31:31SPEAKER_11: Can you just you just go there and back?
- 31:34SPEAKER_11: They're not gonna be there long.
- 31:36SPEAKER_11: I'm gonna support her talking to Mr.
- 31:38SPEAKER_11: Drax and say, remember, you can always switch.
- 31:41SPEAKER_11: You can always and let us know if there's anything.
- 31:46SPEAKER_11: Unsummon the other one.
- 31:47SPEAKER_16: Make a persuasion with advantage.
- 31:50SPEAKER_16: Actually, you know what?
- 31:51SPEAKER_16: Make a deception check.
- 31:54SPEAKER_11: Can I roll it since I was the one trying to deception?
- 31:57SPEAKER_16: You can have advantage because you're helping her.
- 31:59SPEAKER_11: I am trained in deception.
- 32:03SPEAKER_11: What?
- 32:04SPEAKER_11: Don't make it.
- 32:05SPEAKER_10: I mean, you could roll my deception.
- 32:09SPEAKER_10: No!
- 32:12SPEAKER_11: No.
- 32:13SPEAKER_11: You did cheat.
- 32:14SPEAKER_11: No, I rolled a one and a six plus five, so eleven.
- 32:18SPEAKER_16: Drax, what's your plus to insight?
- 32:22SPEAKER_09: You made it.
- 32:23SPEAKER_09: Plus?
- 32:23SPEAKER_16: Okay, well.
- 32:25SPEAKER_11: What is your insight?
- 32:26SPEAKER_16: Zero.
- 32:27SPEAKER_16: Okay, good.
- 32:27SPEAKER_16: Well, I rolled a seven.
- 32:28SPEAKER_16: Yeah, made it.
- 32:31SPEAKER_16: Not very insightful this one.
- 32:34SPEAKER_16: Why do I get the feeling that you don't want me here?
- 32:38SPEAKER_07: Mr.
- 32:38SPEAKER_07: Drax.
- 32:39SPEAKER_16: Why wouldn't you send the expendable?
- 32:41SPEAKER_16: Why would you send and then it kind of dawns on him and he goes, Fourth wall!
- 32:45SPEAKER_10: Fourth wall! It's like you didn't miss it.
- 32:47SPEAKER_19: I come up and I put my arm hand on you just in support.
- 32:50SPEAKER_19: Because you're still the echo, you're sending the echo my brother, and seeing you confused and realizing something I'm I'm supporting you.
- 32:56SPEAKER_19: I'm just holding.
- 32:57SPEAKER_16: He needs a you see the realization come over Mr.
- 33:00SPEAKER_16: Drax that there's a chance that he might be the echo.
- 33:03SPEAKER_09: I'm just giving a big hug.
- 33:04SPEAKER_16: And he like, he looks down at the friendship where he's and he goes, Well, I'm gonna give him a big hug and I'm gonna whisper, I like you more.
- 33:13SPEAKER_10: Why do you want me to leave then?
- 33:15SPEAKER_10: I don't trust the other one.
- 33:16SPEAKER_10: Roll it to say, You keep lying to me.
- 33:20SPEAKER_10: But she mean it.
- 33:21SPEAKER_10: No, that's true.
- 33:22SPEAKER_10: She does like Mr.
- 33:24SPEAKER_10: Dread.
- 33:24SPEAKER_10: But she doesn't trust him.
- 33:25SPEAKER_10: Persuasion, it doesn't matter.
- 33:26SPEAKER_10: 14.
- 33:29SPEAKER_10: I am trying to persuade him on something.
- 33:32SPEAKER_10: It's okay.
- 33:33SPEAKER_10: Yay! I do want the friendship bracelet back.
- 33:36SPEAKER_16: He does, he does say to you, he's like, ooh.
- 33:39SPEAKER_16: Well, alright, I'll go.
- 33:42SPEAKER_16: But I'm only going because you asked me to.
- 33:45SPEAKER_11: I give him a kiss on the cheek.
- 33:48SPEAKER_16: Definitely going now.
- 33:50SPEAKER_16: He does, he slides a friendship bracelet off of him and he goes, Here, give this to the next one.
- 33:56SPEAKER_11: I take it and I kiss it, and then I'm gonna put it right in my pocket.
- 34:01SPEAKER_11: And then I'm gonna be like, you're always going to be the next one, and you're always gonna be my favorite.
- 34:06SPEAKER_16: Okay.
- 34:09SPEAKER_16: You're breaking my heart, you guys.
- 34:12SPEAKER_10: We love Mr.
- 34:13SPEAKER_10: Dragons.
- 34:14SPEAKER_16: You're horrible to this guy.
- 34:15SPEAKER_10: No, we love He's my favorite!
- 34:19SPEAKER_20: I want to step over Mr.
- 34:20SPEAKER_20: Drax to be fair with just him.
- 34:22SPEAKER_20: I'm the only one who killed him.
- 34:24unknown: It's true.
- 34:25SPEAKER_09: Twice! No for once.
- 34:27SPEAKER_09: Oh, only once, okay.
- 34:28SPEAKER_09: I'd like to step over.
- 34:29SPEAKER_19: I'd like to pull Mr.
- 34:29SPEAKER_19: Drax over to the c to the side with just me.
- 34:32SPEAKER_19: Okay.
- 34:33SPEAKER_19: Like I said, uh I think you're serving a soul.
- 34:36SPEAKER_19: You're as much a piece of him as he is a piece of you.
- 34:40SPEAKER_19: You're not expendable.
- 34:41SPEAKER_19: You're part of our equation of who the ghosts in the darkness are becoming.
- 34:45SPEAKER_19: Well, if I'm not exp but if I'm not expendable, why am I going?
- 34:49SPEAKER_11: Because you'll come back.
- 34:50SPEAKER_11: I know you'll come back.
- 34:51SPEAKER_21: Bring you back and maybe even just port you here.
- 34:53SPEAKER_21: It's almost like you're a part of an Octus, but for him.
- 34:56SPEAKER_21: Drax goes to.
- 34:56SPEAKER_11: I don't think that's a good argument.
- 34:58SPEAKER_03: Drax goes to Mr.
- 34:59SPEAKER_11: Drax.
- 35:00SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 35:00SPEAKER_03: Our group is going to fight, potentially fight a dragon.
- 35:06SPEAKER_03: I need to be with them.
- 35:08SPEAKER_03: Going to Silvery Moon, you're going with a legion of dwarves.
- 35:14SPEAKER_03: This is not a suicide mission.
- 35:16SPEAKER_03: We just need eyes.
- 35:18SPEAKER_03: We just need eyes with the dwarves.
- 35:20SPEAKER_16: He leans in, but he leans back in here and he goes.
- 35:23SPEAKER_16: I know that I can only control you up to 40 feet.
- 35:31SPEAKER_16: What's gonna happen if I go with?
- 35:33SPEAKER_16: Am I gonna die?
- 35:34SPEAKER_16: I honestly don't know.
- 35:37SPEAKER_16: Can you at least tell them that I'm the boss?
- 35:41SPEAKER_10: Give them more hit points.
- 35:42SPEAKER_16: Could I be in charge at least?
- 35:45SPEAKER_16: You can tell them you're the boss.
- 35:47SPEAKER_16: Alright, I'm gonna tell them that.
- 35:49SPEAKER_16: Alright, I'll go.
- 35:52SPEAKER_11: And if I come back, I'll give you a real kiss.
- 35:55SPEAKER_14: Yay!
- 36:00SPEAKER_16: He really hopes that he's coming back.
- 36:04SPEAKER_11: And I just want to know because Drax shot a shot and failed.
- 36:08SPEAKER_11: Drax is a little perturbed.
- 36:13SPEAKER_16: Right.
- 36:16SPEAKER_16: So then uh he's like, well, I guess I'll go tell the goal with him then.
- 36:23SPEAKER_12: What happens if we get in the battle?
- 36:24SPEAKER_11: He has a normal echo.
- 36:26SPEAKER_12: I won't have an echo.
- 36:27SPEAKER_13: No echo.
- 36:29SPEAKER_11: Can you have a bowl?
- 36:30SPEAKER_11: You can't have a bullshit.
- 36:32SPEAKER_16: You can just dismiss him.
- 36:33SPEAKER_16: I know.
- 36:34SPEAKER_16: No.
- 36:35SPEAKER_07: We would not do that to Mr.
- 36:37SPEAKER_07: Drax.
- 36:39SPEAKER_07: We would not do that.
- 36:41SPEAKER_11: Mr.
- 36:42SPEAKER_05: Drax.
- 36:43SPEAKER_11: I mean, I got my friendship bracelet.
- 36:46SPEAKER_11: I give Mr.
- 36:47SPEAKER_07: Drax a big hug and I say, I know what it's like.
- 36:51SPEAKER_07: Not necessarily be the person that you thought you were, but you're a good guy, and you can do this.
- 36:58SPEAKER_16: Right.
- 36:59SPEAKER_16: Right.
- 37:00SPEAKER_16: Okay, well, I'll let you know what I find out.
- 37:04SPEAKER_16: And you watch as he like turns, pauses for a second, looks back at you guys.
- 37:09SPEAKER_16: Because they're messing with me, right?
- 37:11SPEAKER_16: Like, this is real.
- 37:15SPEAKER_19: Yes! I look to you going, You think I'd mess with you on something this is important?
- 37:19SPEAKER_11: I'll take a sound and be like, my family's there.
- 37:23SPEAKER_11: I need to know if they're okay.
- 37:24SPEAKER_16: Alright.
- 37:26SPEAKER_16: I'll go.
- 37:28SPEAKER_16: And he turns and he leaves.
- 37:29SPEAKER_16: What do you guys want to do?
- 37:30SPEAKER_08: I need to do some ascending.
- 37:32SPEAKER_03: I don't know if it's gonna work.
- 37:34SPEAKER_03: I watch him go hopefully more than 40 feet for me.
- 37:37SPEAKER_03: Just do it.
- 37:38SPEAKER_09: Just do it.
- 37:39SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'll do two.
- 37:41SPEAKER_16: Well, he walks out the door and then the door shuts.
- 37:44SPEAKER_11: I turn to you and I'm like, he's gonna be okay, right?
- 37:46SPEAKER_03: I think he's been farther.
- 37:47SPEAKER_03: Because I wasn't lying.
- 37:48SPEAKER_11: I really like him.
- 37:50SPEAKER_03: I go to see if he disappears.
- 37:53SPEAKER_07: Do you follow him?
- 37:54SPEAKER_16: Through a window?
- 37:55SPEAKER_07: Can we see?
- 37:57SPEAKER_16: You walk outside and you see there's footprints in the snow.
- 38:01SPEAKER_16: And then they vanish.
- 38:03SPEAKER_16: They vanish?
- 38:04SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
- 38:05SPEAKER_16: Just like poof?
- 38:06SPEAKER_16: Or there's no more footprints after a certain distance.
- 38:08SPEAKER_16: You look left, you look right, and then maybe he floated.
- 38:11SPEAKER_16: There's a guy sweeping the snow and he just swept away the.
- 38:14SPEAKER_05: Oh, there you conquer.
- 38:15SPEAKER_05: What a dick.
- 38:18SPEAKER_05: What a dick.
- 38:18SPEAKER_16: I look beyond that.
- 38:19SPEAKER_16: And then you see him walk out of the table.
- 38:21SPEAKER_16: What a prick.
- 38:21SPEAKER_16: You see him walk out of the tent and he goes, they're not there anymore.
- 38:23SPEAKER_16: They're going this way.
- 38:32SPEAKER_16: Okay guys, I think that we're gonna take a short five-minute break and then we're gonna come back.
- 38:38SPEAKER_11: Hi, Delphine here.
- 38:39SPEAKER_11: If you've been enjoying our particular brand of chaos, please like, follow, and leave us a comment with which of your party members can't be trusted with magical items.
- 38:48SPEAKER_16: And we're back.
- 38:49SPEAKER_16: Everyone's still alive for now.
- 38:51SPEAKER_16: Let's pick up exactly where we left off.
- 38:56SPEAKER_16: Alright, how do you guys want to go about this now?
- 39:00SPEAKER_16: Mr.
- 39:00SPEAKER_16: Drax has gone off.
- 39:01SPEAKER_16: He's gonna go find Rourke.
- 39:03SPEAKER_16: Let him know that he is gonna accompany them to Silvery Moon.
- 39:07SPEAKER_16: What's your plan?
- 39:08SPEAKER_16: What do you want to do?
- 39:09SPEAKER_08: Dolphin's got sendings, sendings.
- 39:10SPEAKER_08: You have a sending to the five.
- 39:11SPEAKER_20: I have a sending to do, but I'm gonna ask Rold if I am gonna send a sending to Yulius.
- 39:18SPEAKER_20: Do you want me to find out about your sister?
- 39:20SPEAKER_20: Please, please.
- 39:21SPEAKER_20: Do you find her?
- 39:22SPEAKER_20: I need to know how she's doing.
- 39:23SPEAKER_20: I can do that.
- 39:24SPEAKER_20: So then feel horrible that we laugh a little bit.
- 39:26SPEAKER_20: That's all right.
- 39:27SPEAKER_20: I will see if I can find out some information.
- 39:29SPEAKER_20: Just to see if she's safe or if she's okay.
- 39:31SPEAKER_20: So I'm gonna send a sending to Yulius.
- 39:33SPEAKER_20: Your first time.
- 39:34SPEAKER_20: My first sending.
- 39:35SPEAKER_20: Your first sending.
- 39:36SPEAKER_20: Oh wow.
- 39:37SPEAKER_12: Wow.
- 39:38SPEAKER_12: My chair is gonna pop.
- 39:39SPEAKER_12: Let's hear it.
- 39:41SPEAKER_12: I hope that got caught.
- 39:43SPEAKER_20: Surely did.
- 39:44SPEAKER_08: I'm leaving that in.
- 39:46SPEAKER_20: Okay, well, so my sending's gonna say two Yulius.
- 39:49SPEAKER_11: We have found two Eulius is not the beginning of the sending.
- 39:52SPEAKER_20: Can you not say two Yulius?
- 39:53SPEAKER_20: You don't need to count nothing.
- 39:55SPEAKER_20: He counted the words.
- 39:56SPEAKER_20: I counted the words.
- 39:57SPEAKER_20: I have 23.
- 39:58SPEAKER_20: Let's go.
- 39:59SPEAKER_07: Including two Iulius?
- 40:00SPEAKER_20: No.
- 40:02SPEAKER_12: Dear Eulius.
- 40:05SPEAKER_20: It's not a fucking letter here.
- 40:07SPEAKER_20: That would make 25.
- 40:08SPEAKER_20: He's still fine.
- 40:09SPEAKER_20: Yes.
- 40:10SPEAKER_20: Right.
- 40:10SPEAKER_20: So we have found out about Silver Moon.
- 40:14SPEAKER_20: Any information on survivors there?
- 40:16SPEAKER_20: Delphine is worried about her family and Theron.
- 40:20SPEAKER_20: Is Rold's sister safe?
- 40:21SPEAKER_16: A few minutes goes by.
- 40:24SPEAKER_16: And you're gonna get two sending responses.
- 40:28SPEAKER_16: First one will be a response to your first question.
- 40:32SPEAKER_16: It's Julius.
- 40:34SPEAKER_16: And he says, No world reaches us of silvery moon.
- 40:40SPEAKER_16: Abree's crying has failed.
- 40:42SPEAKER_16: Silence reeks of betrayal.
- 40:45SPEAKER_16: Wards intact.
- 40:47SPEAKER_16: Gates closed.
- 40:49SPEAKER_16: Treachery guides the orcs advance.
- 40:52SPEAKER_16: And that'll he ends his response there.
- 40:55SPEAKER_16: And then the next one comes back to you about Annalise.
- 40:58SPEAKER_16: Annalise lives unharmed.
- 41:02SPEAKER_16: Speaking in prophecy now, warning that children born beneath the blood moon will herald calamity.
- 41:09SPEAKER_16: Keys to powers are awakening.
- 41:12SPEAKER_20: And I repeat that to the group and let them know what's going on from what UVS says.
- 41:19SPEAKER_08: But he doesn't know, he didn't say anything about the attack.
- 41:24SPEAKER_20: No, they have no information on the attack.
- 41:26SPEAKER_20: They're trying to do their sendings and their scries to them as well, and they're getting no response.
- 41:31SPEAKER_09: It's like the king here.
- 41:32SPEAKER_20: Yeah.
- 41:33SPEAKER_20: It is blocked.
- 41:34SPEAKER_20: So it's blo I'm I'm assuming it's blocked by some magical presence that's not allowing anything in.
- 41:40SPEAKER_11: And he said your sister's speaking in prophecy?
- 41:43SPEAKER_11: Annalise?
- 41:45SPEAKER_21: So it sounds like it.
- 41:47SPEAKER_20: It sounds like he's talking.
- 41:48SPEAKER_20: Keys to powers does.
- 41:50SPEAKER_20: So the keys are starting to awaken.
- 41:53SPEAKER_20: So are those.
- 41:56SPEAKER_11: The only key we've heard of is serve them.
- 41:59SPEAKER_20: That's the only key we've heard of when we But it's not one of them, it is him in general.
- 42:04SPEAKER_20: Here's the or what he's carrying.
- 42:06SPEAKER_20: Yeah.
- 42:07SPEAKER_20: That we don't know if it's Karen or if it's him.
- 42:10SPEAKER_08: He's a whole other thing that I have a lot of thoughts on.
- 42:14SPEAKER_20: Yeah.
- 42:15SPEAKER_20: That's another uh mystery.
- 42:17SPEAKER_19: The lady, I've been thinking a lot on this.
- 42:20SPEAKER_19: Lady Eldressa said that I'm born under very special circumstances, and that I can do things that others cannot.
- 42:30SPEAKER_19: I'm not wholly convinced that Umbrix and his Bon, others, Noctus and Einard, that they're part of the wretched Don's plan so much as were machinations.
- 42:45SPEAKER_19: Maybe they're a symptom of it.
- 42:46SPEAKER_19: Something separate.
- 42:47SPEAKER_19: Are we sure?
- 42:48SPEAKER_05: On their own thing.
- 42:49SPEAKER_05: Are we sure you are the key?
- 42:52SPEAKER_05: Or these They said keys.
- 42:54SPEAKER_11: They said keys.
- 42:55SPEAKER_11: Could I finish the sentence?
- 42:57SPEAKER_11: It said keys, the keys are awakening, and your Noctus only started speaking to you recently.
- 43:07SPEAKER_05: Are you just the incubator?
- 43:10SPEAKER_05: Whoever put that on you.
- 43:12SPEAKER_05: Were you just to incubate it?
- 43:15SPEAKER_21: Or potentially he because of his birth date, he is able to incubate it.
- 43:27SPEAKER_05: To carry the creatures, the presences.
- 43:32SPEAKER_05: And clearly others are as well.
- 43:36SPEAKER_21: Are they or are they only?
- 43:38SPEAKER_21: Ventor came off the giant.
- 43:40SPEAKER_21: Do we need to watch our words around you, Iner?
- 43:42SPEAKER_21: Can we trust?
- 43:44SPEAKER_11: We don't know.
- 43:44SPEAKER_11: I'm under the assumption that the others can hear everything that he knows.
- 43:52SPEAKER_08: But other know everything he knows, is my assumption.
- 43:56SPEAKER_07: Ventor has spoken to me, and I can.
- 44:00SPEAKER_07: Guarantee that he hears what we hear.
- 44:02SPEAKER_21: I thought you were talking about the others and beyond the notion of the city.
- 44:07SPEAKER_21: I'm talking about Ventor and Octus.
- 44:10SPEAKER_21: I'm talking about Ventor and Octus because they're on him.
- 44:12SPEAKER_21: Specifically, they're specifically specifically then.
- 44:15SPEAKER_08: Not the other.
- 44:16SPEAKER_21: How could we know if there are others for yeah?
- 44:19SPEAKER_08: I'm talking specifically if the truth are on him.
- 44:22SPEAKER_21: Okay, okay.
- 44:23SPEAKER_21: That that that helps.
- 44:24SPEAKER_21: Okay.
- 44:26SPEAKER_11: I need to talk to people.
- 44:27unknown: Yeah.
- 44:28SPEAKER_19: Ventor, we need to talk.
- 44:34SPEAKER_19: I am always listening.
- 44:38SPEAKER_19: I have questions about Umbrex's arrival and your presence in this place.
- 44:44SPEAKER_19: Are you here of your own accord?
- 44:46SPEAKER_19: Or are you working with the wretched dawn?
- 44:53SPEAKER_18: What you die.
- 44:58SPEAKER_18: I would use them as I would use you.
- 45:01SPEAKER_19: You have no desires to return home as Noctis did?
- 45:04SPEAKER_19: Why return home when I have so much power here?
- 45:13SPEAKER_19: I don't think they're here on behalf of the wretched dawn.
- 45:17SPEAKER_09: I don't care.
- 45:18SPEAKER_19: They're not here on a good thing.
- 45:20SPEAKER_20: They gotta go anyways.
- 45:22SPEAKER_11: I don't care if they're a tool or an asset or complicit.
- 45:27SPEAKER_19: I have a theory.
- 45:29SPEAKER_07: I've got a theory.
- 45:30SPEAKER_07: It could be bunnies.
- 45:32SPEAKER_19: It's another one of these red lines crossing over on enough levels.
- 45:37SPEAKER_19: I think Umbrix is down in his mind on this dragon.
- 45:41SPEAKER_21: You think it could be so easy that we're right here, right where he was.
- 45:45SPEAKER_19: Ventor mentioned that Umbrix is here.
- 45:48SPEAKER_19: Ventor is stronger than Noctis.
- 45:52SPEAKER_19: The stronger they are, the bigger they seem to be.
- 45:54SPEAKER_19: He covers me more than he than Noctis did.
- 45:56SPEAKER_19: There are extending tendrils.
- 45:58SPEAKER_19: It stands to reason that if Umbrix, who he seems, and I think and say it out loud, subservient to, almost mockingly, would be bigger and stronger and covering something bigger and stronger.
- 46:13SPEAKER_19: And we know that there's something down in the mines that's been described to be similar to what we've experienced with these two now.
- 46:22SPEAKER_19: And the dragon hasn't been doing what it normally does.
- 46:27SPEAKER_19: One of them's on there.
- 46:30SPEAKER_19: If they get stronger and stronger.
- 46:31SPEAKER_19: You think one of them gets stronger and big enough to, you know, possess a Titan, maybe?
- 46:36SPEAKER_19: I don't know.
- 46:38SPEAKER_19: It's a thought.
- 46:39SPEAKER_19: It's a theory.
- 46:40SPEAKER_19: Putting it out there.
- 46:43SPEAKER_19: What are we gonna do about this dragon?
- 46:45SPEAKER_09: I am not caring about the dragon in this current moment, please.
- 46:48SPEAKER_19: That's the deal with your sendings and put these other ones.
- 46:52SPEAKER_19: Just thinking.
- 46:53SPEAKER_19: Thinking out loud about it.
- 46:58SPEAKER_07: Delphine, he's he's only trying to distract himself with what is currently happening.
- 47:04SPEAKER_11: Let it let me help you with whatever you need while they try and deal with the town.
- 47:09SPEAKER_11: I just need a moment to try and contact some penis.
- 47:14SPEAKER_07: Try and contact your people.
- 47:16SPEAKER_07: I will keep with that with what is happening here.
- 47:21SPEAKER_07: You just pay attention to what is important to you right now.
- 47:25SPEAKER_07: I know that it is I know that it is weighing on you.
- 47:29SPEAKER_11: I wouldn't be able to cope with it.
- 47:31SPEAKER_11: You are you are being so strong right now.
- 47:34SPEAKER_11: Just reach out to her.
- 47:36SPEAKER_11: It's a matter of strength or a matter of no other option.
- 47:40SPEAKER_11: She's just gonna go to a corner and she's gonna try and do ascending.
- 47:44SPEAKER_11: She's not sure it's gonna work, but she's gonna try anywhere.
- 47:46SPEAKER_11: She's doing ascending to her father.
- 47:49SPEAKER_11: Who she's not contacted for a very, very, very, very long time.
- 47:53SPEAKER_11: Decades.
- 47:54SPEAKER_11: She has not seen him for 80 years.
- 47:55SPEAKER_11: She cut contact 20 years ago.
- 47:57SPEAKER_11: Okay.
- 47:58SPEAKER_11: She's just gonna say, Papa, it's me.
- 48:01SPEAKER_11: Where are you and Mama?
- 48:03SPEAKER_11: What's happened?
- 48:04SPEAKER_11: I have heard Silvery Moon fell.
- 48:05SPEAKER_11: Are you safe?
- 48:06SPEAKER_11: I can't contact Saren.
- 48:08SPEAKER_11: I love you both.
- 48:10SPEAKER_11: She doesn't know if it's gonna be received.
- 48:12SPEAKER_16: You feel the magic release as it sends, and you get a response.
- 48:18SPEAKER_16: The voice is familiar, but you are shaken to the core at how your father has aged in your absence.
- 48:33SPEAKER_16: There is a worry in him that has moved him from the elden life of immortality into the aging of a parent that only the worry for a missing child can give.
- 48:52SPEAKER_16: They are fear.
- 49:11SPEAKER_16: Your mother and I love you.
- 49:18SPEAKER_15: Whatever comes.
- 49:26SPEAKER_05: Immediate sending back.
- 49:32SPEAKER_05: Where are you?
- 49:33SPEAKER_05: Who took you?
- 49:35SPEAKER_05: What are you are you alright?
- 49:37SPEAKER_05: Are you hurt?
- 49:39SPEAKER_05: Where can I find you?
- 49:41unknown: I can't think of anything else to say.
- 49:46SPEAKER_10: Well, I already asked who did it.
- 49:50SPEAKER_16: I'm in danger with every message I send, they are tracking.
- 49:56SPEAKER_16: We will stay alive as long as we can till help comes.
- 50:03SPEAKER_16: Stay where you are, and that's where it ends.
- 50:07SPEAKER_11: She's gonna try Theron.
- 50:08SPEAKER_11: I told you she's got she's got people to contact.
- 50:10SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
- 50:11SPEAKER_11: She knows that he's probably not gonna be able to answer, but maybe because her father can't answer.
- 50:15SPEAKER_11: Where are you?
- 50:17SPEAKER_11: What's happened?
- 50:18SPEAKER_11: My father says he was taken and you were taken too.
- 50:20SPEAKER_11: Please, please, please answer me.
- 50:24SPEAKER_16: Again, you feel the magic leave you, and then also you get that familiar feeling of shit.
- 50:31unknown: Yeah.
- 50:32SPEAKER_16: What?
- 50:34SPEAKER_16: Your pendant closed.
- 50:38SPEAKER_05: Does that mean he could hear it, but he couldn't respond?
- 50:42SPEAKER_07: He knows.
- 50:43SPEAKER_11: Oh no, the pending glows when he's in danger.
- 50:45SPEAKER_11: No.
- 50:47SPEAKER_11: Oh, she's like visibly like upset now.
- 50:51SPEAKER_11: Oleander goes over to She's like, it is much as Delphine will allow herself to break, she's on the edge of that.
- 50:59SPEAKER_13: Oleander's just wrapped Delphine in her arms and is trying as much as she can to console her without asking any questions.
- 51:08SPEAKER_11: I'm just holding on to her, letting her break down mentally, showing that there is somebody here to support her.
- 51:15SPEAKER_11: She's like my my father, he was taken, he said Theron was taken too.
- 51:19SPEAKER_11: Theron wouldn't respond, couldn't respond.
- 51:21SPEAKER_11: I don't know what's going on.
- 51:23SPEAKER_03: We should go.
- 51:24SPEAKER_11: We can't go.
- 51:26SPEAKER_11: We don't know what's going on there.
- 51:28SPEAKER_11: What help is it that we get captured to?
- 51:31SPEAKER_11: We've promised these people here.
- 51:34SPEAKER_11: What good is a promise if you're not gonna follow through?
- 51:37SPEAKER_11: That's not how I was raised.
- 51:39SPEAKER_11: Mr.
- 51:39SPEAKER_11: Drax is going to find something.
- 51:41SPEAKER_21: Is there any of those magic circles near Silvery Moon?
- 51:45SPEAKER_11: Teleportation circle?
- 51:46SPEAKER_11: Yeah, I know one.
- 51:48SPEAKER_11: I know it.
- 51:49SPEAKER_11: Is it right inside the city?
- 51:51SPEAKER_11: I would know where it was.
- 51:53SPEAKER_11: Oh yeah, you know exactly where it was.
- 51:54SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
- 51:54SPEAKER_16: There's lots of teleportation circles in Silvery Moon.
- 51:56SPEAKER_16: Like if there's so many spellcasters and mages in Silvery Moon that it's almost like out like having an elevator in a building.
- 52:03SPEAKER_16: It's like, but you would just have to know which one.
- 52:05SPEAKER_16: Like you wouldn't have them all, obviously.
- 52:06SPEAKER_16: No, I know.
- 52:08SPEAKER_16: You would have the one in your home memorizing.
- 52:10SPEAKER_11: Oh, so that's the one I have.
- 52:11SPEAKER_11: Which would be in Silvery Moon, obviously.
- 52:13SPEAKER_16: In Silvery Moon, in the nobility section.
- 52:15SPEAKER_16: Not the greater nobility section, but like a less wealthier nobility.
- 52:18SPEAKER_12: Why can't we send dwarves that way?
- 52:21SPEAKER_12: They are already going there.
- 52:24SPEAKER_12: They have their own teleportations that are in their dwarven embassy right now.
- 52:28SPEAKER_12: Got it.
- 52:28SPEAKER_12: Okay.
- 52:29SPEAKER_13: I like the idea of going to your home and looking at your bedroom and stuff like that.
- 52:33SPEAKER_12: Okay, I haven't been there for 80 years.
- 52:36SPEAKER_12: Oh, so Mr.
- 52:36SPEAKER_12: Drax are there.
- 52:37SPEAKER_12: They totally turned it into a gym by now.
- 52:39SPEAKER_12: It's a whole gym.
- 52:41SPEAKER_11: They filled it with boxes.
- 52:44SPEAKER_11: That's where Mr.
- 52:45SPEAKER_11: Snuggle slept.
- 52:50SPEAKER_11: Alright, well, she's very upset.
- 52:52unknown: Okay.
- 52:53SPEAKER_11: She's like, I don't know.
- 52:54SPEAKER_11: Is there a point in me contacting Yulius?
- 52:55SPEAKER_11: Ulis already talked to you.
- 52:56SPEAKER_20: Yeah, I already talked to him.
- 52:58SPEAKER_20: I mean, I've already talked to him and found out what we could.
- 53:01SPEAKER_11: And Lane, he's not under attack.
- 53:02SPEAKER_20: No.
- 53:03SPEAKER_11: Does he need us there?
- 53:04SPEAKER_11: Do you know?
- 53:05SPEAKER_20: He didn't say.
- 53:06SPEAKER_11: He wants us.
- 53:07SPEAKER_20: But I don't want to leave the doors for what we've promised and we are here to do.
- 53:12SPEAKER_11: My father said every message he sends is being tracked.
- 53:15SPEAKER_11: I don't know if he meant tracked to a location or just that he received.
- 53:19SPEAKER_21: No.
- 53:21SPEAKER_21: Ventner.
- 53:22SPEAKER_21: I'm getting his name right.
- 53:23SPEAKER_21: Ventor.
- 53:24SPEAKER_21: Ventor.
- 53:25SPEAKER_21: Essentially just told us the wretched dawn and all of this are just pawns, so we don't even know.
- 53:32SPEAKER_19: He did not say pawn.
- 53:33SPEAKER_19: He said they're pathetic to them.
- 53:34SPEAKER_19: They're below them.
- 53:35SPEAKER_19: Well, is that not the same?
- 53:37SPEAKER_07: No.
- 53:38SPEAKER_13: No, it means it could mean that they are using the wretched dawn for their own.
- 53:43SPEAKER_21: Well, so wouldn't that make it more of a reason for us to go deal with the dragon first and foremost?
- 53:51SPEAKER_19: We know that Ashwell is behind some gate trying to get to our realm.
- 53:56SPEAKER_19: I think he's in their realm.
- 53:59SPEAKER_19: I think somehow they're coming from their realm to here by the actions the Wretched Dawn and them have been doing.
- 54:06SPEAKER_19: I hold up my arm.
- 54:08SPEAKER_19: Them.
- 54:09SPEAKER_11: They came from a comet.
- 54:11SPEAKER_19: Forty years ago.
- 54:12SPEAKER_19: They came 40 years ago.
- 54:15SPEAKER_19: But the the Wretched Dawn have been active that long.
- 54:18SPEAKER_19: Who's this?
- 54:19SPEAKER_19: The Redch Dawn are involved in something.
- 54:21SPEAKER_19: Don't we think Ashwill's been here longer than that?
- 54:23SPEAKER_19: Ashwill's been missing longer.
- 54:25SPEAKER_11: We don't even know what Ashwill is.
- 54:29SPEAKER_20: I don't think he's these things.
- 54:31SPEAKER_20: You never know.
- 54:32SPEAKER_11: We don't know.
- 54:32SPEAKER_11: We literally don't know what it is.
- 54:35SPEAKER_07: I think the key right now is that everywhere that has some power base is being attacked.
- 54:44SPEAKER_07: I'm quite confident that Elaine is gonna be behind us uh in in this in these attacks.
- 54:52SPEAKER_11: And the more we can do to secure the power base here, the better everywhere is going to be.
- 54:57SPEAKER_20: And I think we need to go to the dragon, get them dragon figured out for the for these doors so they can get their livelihoods back and get their weapons and their armor back so they can join in this fight.
- 55:10SPEAKER_19: So we come back around to a fundamental problem.
- 55:12SPEAKER_19: How do we get whatever is infecting this dragon off it?
- 55:15SPEAKER_20: Who knows if it's even got anything off dragon?
- 55:18SPEAKER_20: I got it.
- 55:19SPEAKER_20: They said something was tainting the dragon.
- 55:22SPEAKER_20: But who knows what's actually tainting the dragon?
- 55:24SPEAKER_20: We don't know anything.
- 55:25SPEAKER_11: Either way, I got it off Drax with a chunk of you.
- 55:30SPEAKER_19: The Umbreus comet flew over them, things fell, and the dragon stopped doing a forge.
- 55:36SPEAKER_19: Am I the only person that can do basically?
- 55:39SPEAKER_19: How do you know if maybe the dragon's dead?
- 55:42SPEAKER_09: It could be dead.
- 55:43SPEAKER_19: Because anything that's gone down there hasn't come back, so whatever.
- 55:46SPEAKER_19: By whatever might have killed it.
- 55:48SPEAKER_07: It's just an educated guess.
- 55:50SPEAKER_07: We could be wrong.
- 55:51SPEAKER_19: It could be anything.
- 55:52SPEAKER_19: Question comes back around to if we encounter this dragon that they seem to need to light their forge cold forge to make them a power base again.
- 56:01SPEAKER_19: What are we doing about that?
- 56:04SPEAKER_11: I got it off Mr.
- 56:06SPEAKER_11: Drax once.
- 56:07SPEAKER_20: So we can do it again.
- 56:10SPEAKER_21: I would personally say the more time we waste, we're just giving our enemies more time, so why don't we deal with what we can can here?
- 56:17SPEAKER_21: And then really I would love to make all haste to Elaine.
- 56:20SPEAKER_11: We need time to prepare ourselves.
- 56:22SPEAKER_11: I I know the circle for Elainey as well.
- 56:25SPEAKER_21: I would really like to get my sister.
- 56:27SPEAKER_11: Where are we gonna take her though?
- 56:29SPEAKER_11: That's my only problem.
- 56:30SPEAKER_11: I do agree.
- 56:31SPEAKER_11: And as of right now, she's in danger, but I unless we drop her in troublesome, but we don't have a teleportation for troublesome.
- 56:38SPEAKER_20: And as of right now, what Yulia said is she's safe.
- 56:41SPEAKER_20: She's talking in the world.
- 56:42SPEAKER_08: I would like to know what she's saying.
- 56:45SPEAKER_20: And and I thought she could lead us to others as well.
- 56:49SPEAKER_20: To kids, but not to this.
- 56:51SPEAKER_20: The only way could be others.
- 56:54SPEAKER_20: Well, there are other keys, but if you want to go get her, you go right ahead.
- 57:00SPEAKER_20: But I am staying here to deal with this dragon.
- 57:02SPEAKER_20: I think we need to know why.
- 57:04SPEAKER_20: And as of right now, Yulia said your sister's safe.
- 57:07SPEAKER_20: So I'm not worried about your sister at this point.
- 57:09SPEAKER_20: What her traveling with us?
- 57:11SPEAKER_20: We're the kind of danger that we're gonna be.
- 57:12SPEAKER_20: But we can't get her, so why are we?
- 57:15SPEAKER_09: One problem at a time.
- 57:16SPEAKER_20: We can't?
- 57:18SPEAKER_09: We can, I can.
- 57:18SPEAKER_03: We're going to see the keys.
- 57:20SPEAKER_03: But one problem at a time.
- 57:21SPEAKER_03: Do you want your sister coming to a dry?
- 57:23SPEAKER_21: No, there's no need for her to be here, but afterwards, then if we're going to see the keys, I'm sure she'll be a very important thing to do.
- 57:31SPEAKER_21: I do not disagree with that.
- 57:34SPEAKER_11: Are you in a state, Einar, to delve into the depths right now?
- 57:39SPEAKER_11: Do you need you're missing literal pieces?
- 57:43SPEAKER_19: So I actually So that's when I look at you and go, Hather isn't even walk- it's an effort to have walked there.
- 57:50SPEAKER_19: If you need me, I'm to the call.
- 57:52SPEAKER_19: But then I actually show some of the scars to roll who hasn't seen them.
- 57:55SPEAKER_19: I have chunks of my leg that have gotten torn out where the flesh has now been grafted over magically, but I'm still missing some muscle.
- 58:01SPEAKER_19: I had it happen on somewhere there, and specifically along here where Delphine tried to cut the tattoo off of me by skinning off a layer about of uh of flesh.
- 58:11SPEAKER_19: I was cutting out a cancer about a centimeter down, and it didn't take the whole thing off.
- 58:16SPEAKER_19: So they tried again and got a chunk of my meat.
- 58:18SPEAKER_19: What was used to to lure but he weighs less.
- 58:23SPEAKER_19: The real trim waistline.
- 58:26SPEAKER_19: If I'm calm, we've we've got this.
- 58:30SPEAKER_08: There's uh I could use I need some spell components that day is waiting on.
- 58:35SPEAKER_16: Yeah, we're not gonna waste it.
- 58:36SPEAKER_11: I was gonna go get the spell components for that true seeing the powdered mushrooms and the staff on.
- 58:42SPEAKER_08: The one person was gonna go find that for me the second.
- 58:45SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
- 58:45SPEAKER_08: In command.
- 58:46SPEAKER_16: Yes, I'll be right back.
- 58:47SPEAKER_16: And she said that would take about a day.
- 58:48SPEAKER_16: Yeah, that was uh that was correct.
- 58:49SPEAKER_16: Virgin Jeff Frosthammer, yes.
- 58:51SPEAKER_16: You also can head to some of the shops.
- 58:54SPEAKER_16: There is an arcane shop, general store, a blacksmith, and a herbalist.
- 58:59SPEAKER_11: You guys were gonna do something with the frost armor?
- 59:02SPEAKER_20: We are gonna go to the blacksmith.
- 59:04SPEAKER_03: I am holding the frost armors, and we would like to go to the blacksmith to see if they can't repurpose those materials.
- 59:12SPEAKER_03: And I want to talk to the blacksmith about something.
- 59:15SPEAKER_03: I want to talk to the wizard.
- 59:17SPEAKER_16: Alright.
- 59:18SPEAKER_16: I have shopping to do, and I have to go into your groups and head out and let me know who's going to be.
- 59:28SPEAKER_20: Yeah.
- 59:28SPEAKER_20: Drew Drax goes on our job.
- 59:32SPEAKER_13: Uh Oleander's currently staying.
- 59:34SPEAKER_13: I will do my shopping after.
- 59:35SPEAKER_19: You've given me a job?
- 59:37SPEAKER_19: I've told you that.
- 59:37SPEAKER_19: I've got my job.
- 59:38SPEAKER_19: I've given you a job.
- 59:39SPEAKER_19: I've given you a trust.
- 59:42SPEAKER_08: I'm going to find the spell components.
- 59:46SPEAKER_11: And I want to talk to the wizard.
- 59:48SPEAKER_13: If Rolde is going to stay with Einar, Oleander might run away with Delphine to see the wizard.
- 59:56SPEAKER_11: We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of oz.
- 1:00:00SPEAKER_16: Alright, who's first?
- 1:00:03SPEAKER_16: Okay, you two going to the blacksmith shop.
- 1:00:06SPEAKER_16: Alright, you guys head out and you walk down to uh what you can see, Anvil of the Deep Father, right off of where the winter forge is.
- 1:00:19SPEAKER_16: So it's a little shop there that's kind of off of that forge.
- 1:00:24SPEAKER_16: Because there's the main forge, which is for the village, and then there's the obvious the blacksmith shop that the guy opened up next to it.
- 1:00:33SPEAKER_03: Hello?
- 1:00:33SPEAKER_03: Anyone in here?
- 1:00:35SPEAKER_16: You can you watch in and you see uh he's a towering dwarf, but looks a little different than the rest.
- 1:00:42SPEAKER_16: He is ash gray with a beard braided with iron rings all through it.
- 1:00:48SPEAKER_16: At first look, he looks to be a different kind of dwarf, but then you realize he's literally just covered in soot.
- 1:00:55SPEAKER_16: Um you watch as he puts down his hammer, his apprentices continue to work, but he puts it down, he wipes his hands on his apron, walks over, and he goes, Hey, what can I do for you, gentlemen today?
- 1:01:13SPEAKER_03: Go ahead, first.
- 1:01:15SPEAKER_03: Uh hi, I'm Drax.
- 1:01:19SPEAKER_03: This is my friend Dreuken.
- 1:01:23SPEAKER_03: We partook in the Battle of the Frost Giants.
- 1:01:26SPEAKER_01: Uh yes, I know it well.
- 1:01:27SPEAKER_01: Yeah, a lot of my weapons were used.
- 1:01:30SPEAKER_01: Well, you're a big fucker, ain't you?
- 1:01:34SPEAKER_20: Live up to my size.
- 1:01:42SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I but they would mine.
- 1:01:45SPEAKER_01: I bet they would.
- 1:01:46SPEAKER_01: But I'll tell you this, they crack a skull and I'd swing mine.
- 1:01:50SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
- 1:01:52SPEAKER_01: Now, your gentleman does not come in just for a visit.
- 1:01:55SPEAKER_01: What would you like?
- 1:01:56SPEAKER_03: Ah, we uh we took some frost armors from some of the fallen giants, and we took some of their blades, and we were wondering if you could repurpose those to something that could help our party when we head down to uh your dragon.
- 1:02:15SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:02:15SPEAKER_01: Well, lay them out here before me and let me take a look.
- 1:02:19SPEAKER_03: Okay, we pass him uh a frost giant's bow.
- 1:02:25SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 1:02:25SPEAKER_03: We pass him two frost armors and two uh glaives.
- 1:02:30SPEAKER_16: Okay.
- 1:02:31SPEAKER_16: Uh you lay them out on the bench before him, and he uh he kind of takes a look, he picks them up, and he oh strokes his beard a little bit.
- 1:02:42SPEAKER_01: And then uh he says, you know, uh there's not much I can do with these with the heat armor that we got here.
- 1:02:55SPEAKER_01: But these were forged in the winter forge.
- 1:02:58SPEAKER_01: If I were to try and temper these here, I would have to remove the enchantments that they've had imbued upon them while they were cast in the fold the cold forge.
- 1:03:10SPEAKER_01: Does that make sense?
- 1:03:13SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
- 1:03:13SPEAKER_16: For me to try and alter these without having the cold forge.
- 1:03:18SPEAKER_16: Instead use the heat, it wouldn't take.
- 1:03:22SPEAKER_16: I'd be starting from the new essentially with these materials.
- 1:03:26SPEAKER_20: With these, you can take them and you can do what you need to do.
- 1:03:29SPEAKER_20: If if you need them to help like to go to Cold Forge and use them there to help, like go with your guys' armor and to supply yours, I would say go for it.
- 1:03:43SPEAKER_03: You could brother.
- 1:03:45SPEAKER_03: Not a very smart man.
- 1:03:47SPEAKER_03: Well, I think what he's saying is we need he needs the frost uh armory forge to be working, and then he can do something with these something with these materials.
- 1:04:00SPEAKER_03: Otherwise, they're just another piece of metal.
- 1:04:03SPEAKER_15: I guess.
- 1:04:06SPEAKER_20: Well then keep them for now until we figure out what's up with the dragon, and then we'll figure out from there.
- 1:04:11SPEAKER_01: So you are the ones that you're gonna go down to the lair then, are you?
- 1:04:14SPEAKER_20: Yes, you're gonna be able to do it.
- 1:04:15SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we are trying to reboot the winter forge.
- 1:04:18SPEAKER_01: Wait, a pair of bulls on you then.
- 1:04:21SPEAKER_01: Gotta do what we gotta do.
- 1:04:24SPEAKER_03: Got any advice for us if uh we're not gonna uh use these armors now?
- 1:04:29SPEAKER_01: Well, don't have advice for you, but I can do this.
- 1:04:33SPEAKER_01: I can offer you my blessing.
- 1:04:37SPEAKER_01: I can bless you with the courage to be wary, to watch for your materials, watch for your armor, and be sure that you can protect yourselves at all costs.
- 1:04:54SPEAKER_16: But I will ask you this one favor.
- 1:04:57SPEAKER_01: My nephew ventured down into that mine nigh a year ago, and he was lost to me, and he had my enchanted hammer with him.
- 1:05:09SPEAKER_01: You can find me that hammer, bring it back here.
- 1:05:13SPEAKER_01: I can craft you armor like you've never seen before, and I would gladly do it for you.
- 1:05:21SPEAKER_01: If you find it, bring it back my way if you come back.
- 1:05:25SPEAKER_01: That is.
- 1:05:27SPEAKER_20: I hold out my hand and I say, You have yourself a deal.
- 1:05:30SPEAKER_16: Right, and he goes and clasps your hand, but you just bury your arm around his entire arm, and he just looks at you and he goes, All right, dad, don't break it off.
- 1:05:39SPEAKER_20: All right, well.
- 1:05:40SPEAKER_20: I know my strength.
- 1:05:42SPEAKER_16: Um, as you guys get that blessing upon you, you feel yourselves given a what's called a minor mechanical boon.
- 1:05:52SPEAKER_16: At any point in the next 24 hours, you can add one point to your ace.
- 1:06:02SPEAKER_16: At random or at any point, if you are attacked and feel you need to boost it by one, and it's a one-shot only boon.
- 1:06:11SPEAKER_20: And I got one more question for you.
- 1:06:14SPEAKER_20: Do you I'm looking for an upgrade for my shield?
- 1:06:19SPEAKER_01: Why let's see a shield then?
- 1:06:22SPEAKER_20: Oh Jesus! It's my tower shield that I got.
- 1:06:27SPEAKER_20: I'm looking for possible times as high.
- 1:06:32SPEAKER_20: Yeah.
- 1:06:33SPEAKER_20: Possible upgrade if you're able to possibly make one when we get this.
- 1:06:38SPEAKER_20: He kind of looks at it and he goes.
- 1:06:41SPEAKER_20: What do you know about it?
- 1:06:43SPEAKER_20: There's not much with this shield.
- 1:06:45SPEAKER_20: It's just the tower shield that's that's it.
- 1:06:50SPEAKER_20: No enchants, no nothing.
- 1:06:52SPEAKER_01: What are you looking for?
- 1:06:53SPEAKER_01: An upgrade?
- 1:06:53SPEAKER_01: What would you like?
- 1:06:55SPEAKER_20: I don't know.
- 1:06:56SPEAKER_20: That's where I'm trying to figure out to talk to somebody to figure out.
- 1:06:59SPEAKER_16: Well, you gotta know what you like, son.
- 1:07:01SPEAKER_16: Not just ask me.
- 1:07:02SPEAKER_16: I'll cover a fucking glitter if you don't know.
- 1:07:05SPEAKER_20: You know, if it sparkles, why not?
- 1:07:08SPEAKER_16: Don't know much about enchantments and all that, so I figured enchantments or anything can go either way.
- 1:07:15SPEAKER_16: You know, and sometimes they'll take, sometimes they don't take.
- 1:07:17SPEAKER_16: Sometimes when they do take, they don't take the way you like.
- 1:07:21SPEAKER_16: But what I can do is I can reinforce the edges.
- 1:07:26SPEAKER_01: I can maybe make it a little stronger, a little more useful.
- 1:07:32SPEAKER_01: If that's what you wish.
- 1:07:33SPEAKER_20: Absolutely, that would work.
- 1:07:34SPEAKER_20: Something like that would work for sure.
- 1:07:35SPEAKER_20: But we'll do that when we come back with your with your hammer.
- 1:07:39SPEAKER_20: Alright, if you come back then.
- 1:07:40SPEAKER_20: If we come back well, if you come back.
- 1:07:42SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 1:07:43SPEAKER_01: Alright then.
- 1:07:44SPEAKER_01: Uh yes, I will keep these with me here.
- 1:07:46SPEAKER_01: Uh we'll do what we can with them, but I can't I kind of promise you not right.
- 1:07:51SPEAKER_01: No.
- 1:07:51SPEAKER_01: Alright then.
- 1:07:52SPEAKER_20: Thank you, sir.
- 1:07:53SPEAKER_01: Well, go safely, my boys.
- 1:07:56SPEAKER_20: Thank you.
- 1:07:57SPEAKER_20: We'll see you in a few days.
- 1:07:58SPEAKER_16: Bye.
- 1:07:58SPEAKER_16: And he kind of turns back to one of his interns, he says, Hey, clear this shit off, put it away.
- 1:08:05SPEAKER_16: We're gonna work on that later.
- 1:08:09SPEAKER_01: Who's next?
- 1:08:15SPEAKER_06: We're gonna have a discussion.
- 1:08:16SPEAKER_21: We're not.
- 1:08:17SPEAKER_21: Yeah, are we really doing anything?
- 1:08:18SPEAKER_21: I think we're not I have stuff to do.
- 1:08:20SPEAKER_16: We're not going anywhere.
- 1:08:21SPEAKER_16: We're talking.
- 1:08:22SPEAKER_16: Okay, well, let's talk to the people that are gonna go to the shops first.
- 1:08:25SPEAKER_11: I I know that your stuff is very important.
- 1:08:27SPEAKER_11: Um, I need to find some yarns and I need to find some.
- 1:08:31SPEAKER_11: I'm looking for some scrolls and some herbal components.
- 1:08:34SPEAKER_11: What do you need?
- 1:08:35SPEAKER_11: I need to see the wizard.
- 1:08:36SPEAKER_11: A wizard.
- 1:08:37SPEAKER_11: I need to find the second because she was getting me some spell components.
- 1:08:43SPEAKER_11: Okay, what do you want to do first?
- 1:08:45SPEAKER_11: Spell components.
- 1:08:46SPEAKER_11: Okay, let's go for a shop of spell components.
- 1:08:52SPEAKER_16: Okay, so you guys are going to be heading towards the arcane store or the arcane shop, is that what you're talking about?
- 1:08:58SPEAKER_16: Yes.
- 1:08:59SPEAKER_16: Okay, so you know this.
- 1:09:00SPEAKER_16: You saw this on the way in.
- 1:09:01SPEAKER_16: It's Grim Thane's Resonant Vault, it's called.
- 1:09:04SPEAKER_16: And it's a uh it's small, but it's got like a it's it's interesting because it's all the other buildings within Winter Forge are kind of carved into the mountain, except for this one.
- 1:09:14SPEAKER_16: It's the only one that's built out of wood, and it's kind of a mix of the two.
- 1:09:20SPEAKER_16: It's got ice that kind of seems to be growing up alongside the wood, and there's areas in the wood where you can tell it's been blown out by an interior explosion, and that the ice has just grown magically to insulate it, and uh the roof is all kind of crooked and and and twisted and weird like this, kind of looking like obviously the home of somebody who's not really worried about what the look of the inside is, but more or less on what is inside.
- 1:09:45SPEAKER_13: Function over fashion.
- 1:09:46SPEAKER_16: Function over fashion.
- 1:09:47SPEAKER_16: So you guys walk up to that door and you open the door and it kind of swings open, and you walk in, and you see behind behind the counter is like a kind of a gnarled, twisted old dwarf.
- 1:10:02SPEAKER_08: Not the one that you met the wizard, the other fun one, a different one.
- 1:10:06SPEAKER_16: This one, though, a woman dwarf, she's old, and she's got uh she's got like her hair back in like gray, tight, tight braids, and she's got what look like flowers, but it almost looks like she's not bothered to make sure that there were flowers on the stems, and she's got some twigs in there as well, and she's got a little wizard's cloak on, and she's kind of gnarled over, and she's got this little walking stick that she helps to walk with.
- 1:10:33SPEAKER_16: But you also notice as you walk in, she's got these burn burn scars etched all up her forearms.
- 1:10:39SPEAKER_16: But they're dwarven ruins, almost like she burnt them into herself.
- 1:10:44SPEAKER_16: She's wearing uh she's wearing a bit of a uh looks like a headband, but then you notice that the headband has got a little crystal lens that comes down and goes over a missing eye in an open socket.
- 1:10:58SPEAKER_16: I like this lady.
- 1:11:00SPEAKER_11: She hasn't even spoken yet.
- 1:11:01SPEAKER_11: We don't know what she sounds like, but I like her already.
- 1:11:04SPEAKER_16: So you walk in, and uh she doesn't even turn around and she goes, We don't open.
- 1:11:11SPEAKER_11: Yes, um I'm sorry, but the king's second said that she would arrange for some spell components for me.
- 1:11:20SPEAKER_18: Yes, I wish you can't play yesterday.
- 1:11:22SPEAKER_18: Yeah, or give them away.
- 1:11:23SPEAKER_18: Do it right you want.
- 1:11:24SPEAKER_11: Oh, she already has some.
- 1:11:26SPEAKER_11: But I I do have others that I could ask for.
- 1:11:28SPEAKER_11: Yes.
- 1:11:28SPEAKER_11: I beg your forgiveness for the intrusion.
- 1:11:31SPEAKER_18: Forgiveness, not Kevin.
- 1:11:32SPEAKER_18: I'm very busy.
- 1:11:33SPEAKER_07: You're very busy, and we are also wishing to aid this town to uh make you guys able to raise back to your former glory and defend yourselves against whatever the hell is happening in this entire country.
- 1:11:53SPEAKER_11: Please, may we ask your aid.
- 1:11:55SPEAKER_16: She and as you st as you talk, she kind of she reaches up and she snaps her fingers and points at you with this gnarled, kind of long fingernail on one hand, and she turns and she kind of looks at you, and she's got that little lens down, and she goes, You're freaking a sweet talk girl, it's not gonna get followed.
- 1:12:14SPEAKER_09: I take my bag of gold out and I put it on the counter.
- 1:12:17SPEAKER_18: No, now she's the one that wants to talk to you.
- 1:12:22SPEAKER_18: What can I get for you?
- 1:12:24SPEAKER_11: I need ink for teleportation circles.
- 1:12:26SPEAKER_00: Oh yes, I think yes, oh, I know what you're up to.
- 1:12:38SPEAKER_11: Delphine kind of goes a little step back, like, okay.
- 1:12:44SPEAKER_17: Yes, yes, okay.
- 1:12:45SPEAKER_17: You didn't need your uh ink.
- 1:12:48SPEAKER_00: Okay, what else would I have with us?
- 1:12:51SPEAKER_07: Scrolls?
- 1:12:52SPEAKER_07: I'm looking specifically for a scroll of gentle pose if you do potentially have one or a recipe for a uh rose oil potion.
- 1:13:03SPEAKER_18: But there's not a place for recipe, it's uh you want to have a list?
- 1:13:09SPEAKER_18: You want my feckin' sister's office?
- 1:13:12SPEAKER_07: I can go to your fecking sister's office.
- 1:13:16SPEAKER_07: And I do like a little spice, so go ahead.
- 1:13:19SPEAKER_11: I like this one.
- 1:13:20SPEAKER_11: She's really quite lovely when you get to know her.
- 1:13:23SPEAKER_11: I also bite though, so she's not feeling bitey today.
- 1:13:29SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 1:13:29SPEAKER_17: So you need your ink.
- 1:13:31SPEAKER_05: Yes.
- 1:13:31SPEAKER_17: Spell scrolls.
- 1:13:33SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I've got a few, but um gentle repose is that what you asked for.
- 1:13:41SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 1:13:44SPEAKER_17: Alright, let's see what I've got.
- 1:13:46SPEAKER_17: Anything else we want to go back?
- 1:13:48SPEAKER_17: It's quite a long way.
- 1:13:49SPEAKER_11: Just any anything you think might be particularly useful for those who are venturing into the mines.
- 1:13:55SPEAKER_11: We don't know much about what we're going into.
- 1:13:57SPEAKER_11: I gather there's a dragon and it's very, very cold, and no one comes back.
- 1:14:01SPEAKER_11: Something that might make us less dead.
- 1:14:04SPEAKER_16: Um, okay, so she kind of hobbles off and she like gets halfway to the back room and then she like stops and puts her hand on the keeps going until she eventually gets back.
- 1:14:27SPEAKER_16: And behind the end, you can hear her throwing a few things around.
- 1:14:33SPEAKER_16: Oh, I've been looking for you.
- 1:14:36SPEAKER_16: Oh, you sneaky buddy.
- 1:14:38SPEAKER_16: And then she gets a couple other things.
- 1:14:40SPEAKER_16: You can hear she comes walking back out.
- 1:14:44SPEAKER_16: And uh, she dumps the uh arm load of stuff.
- 1:14:46SPEAKER_16: She's got two vials of me.
- 1:14:48SPEAKER_16: That you gotta do.
- 1:14:49SPEAKER_08: Only two.
- 1:14:49SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
- 1:14:50SPEAKER_08: How many uses can I get from two?
- 1:14:52SPEAKER_18: You can get a use out of each.
- 1:14:54SPEAKER_08: Only one.
- 1:14:55SPEAKER_18: Yeah.
- 1:14:55SPEAKER_18: Shit.
- 1:14:56SPEAKER_18: Yeah.
- 1:14:56SPEAKER_08: Thank you very much.
- 1:14:57SPEAKER_08: I know that supplies are really limited here.
- 1:14:59SPEAKER_18: Yeah, but don't thank me because I'm not the one who's paying for it yet.
- 1:15:04SPEAKER_11: But you are the one I'm paying.
- 1:15:06SPEAKER_18: You're not your king, a king?
- 1:15:08SPEAKER_18: Three.
- 1:15:16SPEAKER_00: Well.
- 1:15:17SPEAKER_00: Then perhaps I can give you a few laughing.
- 1:15:19SPEAKER_11: Well, in addition to any scrolls you might have, I do have some questions for a learned one such as yourself.
- 1:15:25SPEAKER_00: Okay, uh, go ahead.
- 1:15:28SPEAKER_11: That I would be willing to compensate you for your information if you do have it.
- 1:15:32SPEAKER_00: I there's always in a covert that I can come to.
- 1:15:36SPEAKER_00: Go ahead, ask your questions.
- 1:15:37SPEAKER_11: And I'm gonna take out the Alethea coin.
- 1:15:40SPEAKER_11: And be like, we don't know much about this.
- 1:15:42SPEAKER_11: I know dwarves are renowned for their very tricksy puzzles.
- 1:15:49SPEAKER_11: What can you tell us about this coin?
- 1:15:50SPEAKER_11: I'm gonna hold it out to her.
- 1:15:52SPEAKER_11: I'm not gonna let it go yet.
- 1:15:53SPEAKER_16: She kind of like she leans over and she likes it.
- 1:15:56SPEAKER_11: We know that it's a puzzle to lead to something.
- 1:16:00SPEAKER_11: That's all I know.
- 1:16:01SPEAKER_11: I don't have a cipher to unlock it though.
- 1:16:04SPEAKER_16: So she looks over it and she kind of like you watch it, she reaches up with her one finger and notices she's missing two fingers.
- 1:16:12SPEAKER_16: Watch as the blue crystal eyepiece changes color.
- 1:16:15SPEAKER_16: It goes red, sh yellow, sh green.
- 1:16:18SPEAKER_16: And as it's green, she's looking at this Althea coin.
- 1:16:21SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah.
- 1:16:22SPEAKER_00: Well, this is dwarven craftsmanship of shore.
- 1:16:26SPEAKER_00: It's not from around here, was you?
- 1:16:29SPEAKER_00: Where did you steal it from?
- 1:16:32SPEAKER_06: We found it in our travels.
- 1:16:34SPEAKER_06: You found it, did ya?
- 1:16:37SPEAKER_11: We know that it was originally found on a shipwreck.
- 1:16:43SPEAKER_00: Well, I can't tell you what the origin of it is.
- 1:16:47SPEAKER_00: I can tell you.
- 1:16:49SPEAKER_00: It's very magically charged.
- 1:16:52SPEAKER_00: It's got the power to open something huge.
- 1:16:57SPEAKER_00: Massive almost.
- 1:17:01SPEAKER_00: How much do you want for it?
- 1:17:03SPEAKER_11: Well, I'm not looking to sell.
- 1:17:05SPEAKER_00: Oh.
- 1:17:06SPEAKER_16: You should.
- 1:17:06SPEAKER_11: She's still hanging on to it.
- 1:17:09SPEAKER_16: She's not taking it from here.
- 1:17:10SPEAKER_16: She's uh you're she you're quite a bit bigger than she is.
- 1:17:14SPEAKER_11: Um We believe it and I'm gonna sort of draw it away.
- 1:17:23SPEAKER_11: We believe it's important for our current mission.
- 1:17:26SPEAKER_16: Right.
- 1:17:26SPEAKER_16: And she watches she's just her eyes are fixed on my pocket.
- 1:17:31SPEAKER_16: And she watches which pocket you put in.
- 1:17:33SPEAKER_16: Alright.
- 1:17:34SPEAKER_16: Um scrolls.
- 1:17:38SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 1:17:39SPEAKER_11: Can you tell me anything else about the coin?
- 1:17:42SPEAKER_11: And I just sort of jingle the co gold coins in the bag.
- 1:17:45SPEAKER_15: Well, I can tell you that uh you're going to have to figure out what these markings mean and what they are in reference to.
- 1:17:55SPEAKER_15: They're not just going to be hanging around.
- 1:17:57SPEAKER_11: You're going to have to find Are there any protective spells on it to prevent us from manipulating it?
- 1:18:05SPEAKER_00: Well, that's part of the problem with these, you know, they're not really designed to be figured out with magic.
- 1:18:15SPEAKER_00: They have to be manual.
- 1:18:17SPEAKER_00: Yes, you get it.
- 1:18:19SPEAKER_00: I mean, there are ways that you can unlock the secrets, but it's not cheap.
- 1:18:26SPEAKER_00: What ways?
- 1:18:28SPEAKER_00: Well, there's ways.
- 1:18:29SPEAKER_00: I mean, I'm not I don't just give these things away for free.
- 1:18:32SPEAKER_08: I'm not suggesting free.
- 1:18:33SPEAKER_00: Oh, it would be a service.
- 1:18:35SPEAKER_00: It would be a service.
- 1:18:36SPEAKER_08: No, I just wanted to know if you could tell me the way.
- 1:18:38SPEAKER_00: Ah, I could tell you the way.
- 1:18:41SPEAKER_00: You know the mage tower in a line.
- 1:18:46SPEAKER_06: Yes.
- 1:18:47SPEAKER_06: Very well, in fact.
- 1:18:48SPEAKER_00: Do you know the vault that lies beneath the mage tower?
- 1:18:53SPEAKER_06: I have not had that privilege.
- 1:18:55SPEAKER_00: I would suggest maybe start there.
- 1:18:59SPEAKER_06: Thank you very much.
- 1:19:00SPEAKER_06: Can I say it again?
- 1:19:03SPEAKER_06: I think it's okay.
- 1:19:05SPEAKER_00: Well, then that's all you're gonna get from me, then.
- 1:19:08SPEAKER_00: Uh that you know, that's quite a bit of information that I gave you there.
- 1:19:11SPEAKER_00: So give her two gold coins.
- 1:19:13SPEAKER_00: There's quite a bit more than that.
- 1:19:16SPEAKER_11: Well, let's see what else you find for our friends.
- 1:19:19SPEAKER_00: You know what?
- 1:19:21SPEAKER_00: I'd be a lot more inclined to look a lot harder.
- 1:19:25SPEAKER_00: No.
- 1:19:25SPEAKER_00: My financial worries were a little bit unburdened.
- 1:19:30SPEAKER_11: There were three more coins.
- 1:19:32SPEAKER_00: A little bit more unburdened than that.
- 1:19:35SPEAKER_11: So unburdened that you would not like to curry favor with your king.
- 1:19:39SPEAKER_00: Well, you know, I'm quick if you're a thing anyway, but I've been I just wanted to, you know, it's it's very difficult for me to find a lot of this thing.
- 1:19:47SPEAKER_00: I mean, I'm not sure.
- 1:19:48SPEAKER_00: I mean I'm an old lady.
- 1:19:50SPEAKER_11: Am I paying you or the you said the king?
- 1:19:53SPEAKER_11: Oh no, the king has covered for the cons consumables.
- 1:19:58SPEAKER_11: I have looking for a tip.
- 1:20:00SPEAKER_15: And he didn't pay, and uh it was how it was just the timing of it.
- 1:20:06SPEAKER_11: I'm gonna count up five gold coins.
- 1:20:07SPEAKER_11: I'm gonna put them on the t thing in front of me.
- 1:20:09SPEAKER_11: I'm just gonna be like, let's see what other So is that total of ten now.
- 1:20:13SPEAKER_16: Ten gold coins.
- 1:20:15SPEAKER_11: Ten total now, but I'm holding on to the stack of five, and I'm gonna say, let's see if you're able to find my friend her scroll.
- 1:20:21SPEAKER_11: Oh.

- 1:20:24SPEAKER_16: Okay.
- 1:20:24SPEAKER_16: Uh give me a moment.
- 1:20:26SPEAKER_16: And she uh hobbles back to the uh the back room again.
- 1:20:29SPEAKER_16: You can hear her like banging around in there again.
- 1:20:33SPEAKER_16: And uh she's trying to figure out, you know, if she's gonna find this thing or not.
- 1:20:39SPEAKER_11: As you're kind of standing out there, is there anything that you want to investigate or do or look around the shop, see if there's anything that stands out to a couple of magic users in particular.
- 1:20:53SPEAKER_11: Of the spellcasting implement variety.
- 1:20:56SPEAKER_16: Uh-huh.
- 1:20:57SPEAKER_16: There's a couple of interesting things there.
- 1:20:59SPEAKER_16: So she so she comes back, and she's got a kind of an armload of magic scrolls.
- 1:21:05SPEAKER_16: And she said, she kind of s Please don't make me go back there again.
- 1:21:11SPEAKER_06: We won't have to.
- 1:21:12SPEAKER_16: Yeah, it was so long we could when she misses and kind of dribbles the spit down her chin, and she goes, And you notice that she's a little closer to you this time, that while she's being a female dwarf, she does seem to have wisps of beard.
- 1:21:34SPEAKER_16: Nice.
- 1:21:35SPEAKER_16: Perfect.
- 1:21:35SPEAKER_16: And she's got like little beads on the water.

- 1:21:40SPEAKER_16: Alright, so she does put them down and she slides one over, and there is your scroll of gentle repose.
- 1:21:47SPEAKER_11: How much for your service for that?
- 1:21:50SPEAKER_00: Well, I mean, I'm not gonna charge you for the scroll.
- 1:21:54SPEAKER_13: Just for the walking?
- 1:21:55SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:21:56SPEAKER_00: For the effort.
- 1:21:57SPEAKER_11: I mean, I appreciate the effort.
- 1:21:59SPEAKER_11: Awfully dusty back there.
- 1:22:00SPEAKER_15: So hard that was.
- 1:22:02SPEAKER_15: That was hard.
- 1:22:03SPEAKER_00: It was.
- 1:22:06SPEAKER_15: But don't worry about that.
- 1:22:08SPEAKER_15: So in the house, so I did that for you guys.
- 1:22:11SPEAKER_16: I've got a few um you know, tidbits here.
- 1:22:15SPEAKER_16: What else do you have?
- 1:22:17SPEAKER_16: Scroll now.
- 1:22:18SPEAKER_16: Mind you, these are random.
- 1:22:20SPEAKER_14: Mm-hmm.
- 1:22:21SPEAKER_16: And uh one of them, she's like, this one here.
- 1:22:24SPEAKER_16: She's like, this one is a scroll of the beacon of hope.
- 1:22:27SPEAKER_08: Oh, that sounds interesting.
- 1:22:29SPEAKER_15: We're interested in that one.
- 1:22:31SPEAKER_15: Uh this one here, it's uh not as great, it's a scroll that detects good and evil.
- 1:22:36SPEAKER_00: Comes in handy, you know I like it.
- 1:22:40SPEAKER_00: But I wouldn't use it in here.
- 1:22:47SPEAKER_11: Every time she does it, Delphine like takes a little perfumed handkerchief and kind of holds it up to her face.
- 1:22:52SPEAKER_15: Uh this one is uh re of sickness.
- 1:22:56SPEAKER_15: She'll be so inclined, like you're starting to build up your own uh you know spell list, if you know this.
- 1:23:05SPEAKER_15: You've got a book there.
- 1:23:06SPEAKER_09: Variety.
- 1:23:07SPEAKER_09: We like variety.
- 1:23:08SPEAKER_15: It's a good one.
- 1:23:10SPEAKER_15: Um, and then this one, like yeah, if you cast this spell, it would give any uh um splints, armor, uh resistance against light, and what do you think?
- 1:23:21SPEAKER_15: Maybe these tickle you fancy.
- 1:23:23SPEAKER_13: I mean it's always good for you to have a variety of I don't know if I can cast typically beacon of hope.
- 1:23:30SPEAKER_11: But rave sickness.
- 1:23:31SPEAKER_13: Are you able to transcribe any spells into your into your spell book?
- 1:23:37SPEAKER_11: Or does it no?
- 1:23:38SPEAKER_11: Typically has to be wizard spells.
- 1:23:40SPEAKER_11: Beacon of hope I think is a clerical, but it might be a handy thing to just have.
- 1:23:43SPEAKER_15: Well, hold on, I do got one more.
- 1:23:46SPEAKER_15: Got one more.
- 1:23:48SPEAKER_15: And she pulls it out and she goes, now this one.
- 1:23:51SPEAKER_00: I keep this one for myself, but you you seem to have your deep pockets.
- 1:23:59SPEAKER_00: Have you ever heard of uh minute meteors?
- 1:24:02SPEAKER_07: Yes.
- 1:24:04SPEAKER_00: I don't let this one go lightly.
- 1:24:07SPEAKER_15: Uh I'd be willing to let you have it for you know your generosity.

- 1:24:19SPEAKER_15: I don't know that.
- 1:24:21SPEAKER_15: It's quite you know, it's quite uh Quite dear to my heart.
- 1:24:28SPEAKER_13: I think that you should probably go acquire that one.
- 1:24:31SPEAKER_13: It would be very handy.
- 1:24:37SPEAKER_11: I'm just gonna count out.
- 1:24:39SPEAKER_11: I'm just gonna eyeball her while I'm counting out coins, and I'm gonna just count out like.
- 1:24:44SPEAKER_16: She ain't meeting your eyes.
- 1:24:45SPEAKER_11: I know, I'm looking at her.
- 1:24:47SPEAKER_11: So, in addition to the original five, I'm gonna start counting out another one, two, seven, eight, yes, nine, ten.
- 1:24:59SPEAKER_00: Yes, yes, yes, yes.
- 1:25:00SPEAKER_11: And then I'm and hers as well.

- 1:25:11SPEAKER_11: So that is 15 on the board.
- 1:25:14SPEAKER_13: And that's in addition to the original five that you gave her.
- 1:25:16SPEAKER_11: Mm-hmm.
- 1:25:17SPEAKER_11: So we're sitting at 20 total.
- 1:25:20SPEAKER_11: When considering that this is a tip.
- 1:25:24SPEAKER_11: Because the king's already paying you for the con spell components.
- 1:25:27SPEAKER_15: Oh, she uh yeah, she is.
- 1:25:30SPEAKER_15: I mean, she's not is not paying me for my personal collection of supposed though.

- 1:25:57SPEAKER_15: And she hands it over to you.
- 1:25:58SPEAKER_11: Thank you very much, and the gentle repose.
- 1:26:01SPEAKER_16: There you go.
- 1:26:02SPEAKER_16: I don't think and she like slowly and then she just And I take my pouch until it slides it, slides it into this drawer and slams it shut.

- 1:31:02SPEAKER_16: And as she walks into the back, it starts to rain inside the store.
- 1:31:09SPEAKER_11: Oh, I am both delighted and a little perturbed because, like, my hair.

- 1:31:21SPEAKER_11: Just like hold my coat over my head.
- 1:31:23SPEAKER_11: Exact opposite reaction.
- 1:31:25SPEAKER_11: She covers herself, I expose my.

- 1:31:30SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
- 1:31:31SPEAKER_16: So she does come back and she does have the rose oil for you.
- 1:31:35SPEAKER_16: Uh it's in a little while.
- 1:31:37SPEAKER_11: Oh, I wanted the recipe.
- 1:31:39SPEAKER_11: Oh, you want the recipe?
- 1:31:41SPEAKER_11: Please.
- 1:31:41SPEAKER_07: I would like to be able to um reproduce it.
- 1:31:44SPEAKER_07: Oh, yes.
- 1:31:45SPEAKER_07: Of course, of course.
- 1:31:46SPEAKER_07: Yeah, just go get the oil as well.
- 1:31:48SPEAKER_07: I mean, I I'm not opposed to the ready-made oil as well.
- 1:31:51SPEAKER_07: I was hoping for the recipe and as well as as rose petals so that I could um experiment with making my own.
- 1:31:57SPEAKER_16: Of course, of course.
- 1:31:58SPEAKER_16: She just reaches down, pulls out a handful of rose petals, and they're dried, and she just lays them out on a napkin or like a handkerchief, and she just folds up the handkerchief, and then she leaves it on the counter, and a little bird flies down, picks it up, and hands it to you.
- 1:32:13SPEAKER_16: And then she gives you the rose oil as well, and then she pulls out a piece of parchment and this like large ecock feather quill hen and just starts to scribble out.
- 1:32:24SPEAKER_11: She's a Disney princess.
- 1:32:25SPEAKER_11: I love her.
- 1:32:26SPEAKER_16: She starts to scribble out the recipe for you, and it's in this like beautiful cursive writing.
- 1:32:31SPEAKER_16: Yeah, and she's like sitting and she's right, and she's like, oi, that's all.
- 1:32:36SPEAKER_16: And the little storm cloud that was gathering above her just starts to dissipate and move away.
- 1:32:41SPEAKER_16: And then she finishes up and hands it to you.
- 1:32:43SPEAKER_16: So you do now have the recipe for rose oil, and you have the uh rose petals to begin experimenting.
- 1:32:49SPEAKER_07: Awesome.
- 1:32:50SPEAKER_11: And you have the rose oil itself, the vial.
- 1:32:52SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
- 1:32:53SPEAKER_16: And you have a little vial of it, so in case you don't want to spend the time creating you need it immediately, you have a little vial of it.
- 1:32:59SPEAKER_11: I'm just gonna lean over to you and like, is this for Einar?
- 1:33:03SPEAKER_11: No.
- 1:33:04SPEAKER_11: Um I'll tell you later.
- 1:33:08SPEAKER_00: Uh she goes, as for the other things, I'm afraid I don't have those.

- 1:33:27SPEAKER_16: Well, um how much for this?
- 1:33:30SPEAKER_16: No, it's covered.

- 1:33:37SPEAKER_16: So do you do you okay?
- 1:33:39SPEAKER_16: And she just like anything.
- 1:33:40SPEAKER_16: She goes away for a second, she comes back, and uh she has this uh little thing of a salve and she's like whisping away storm clouds inside her place, and she comes back with this little salve.
- 1:33:53SPEAKER_16: She goes, now this is a gift for you.
- 1:33:55SPEAKER_16: Uh it's ember clap temperature.
- 1:33:58SPEAKER_16: And I've made this myself.
- 1:34:00SPEAKER_16: If you apply this, and it's only one use to anyone, they will have uh resistance to fire damage for ten minutes.

- 1:34:47SPEAKER_16: Because we need her back badly.
- 1:34:50SPEAKER_11: Do you have any advice or any insight as to what we could do or what is actually causing the pain?
- 1:34:57SPEAKER_16: I don't if you can bring me back some samples from, you know, the dragon's lair, maybe I can figure out ways to cure the area, cure the the the flatlight.
- 1:35:11SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, what's the dragon's name?
- 1:35:18SPEAKER_11: The dragon oh I don't know that she's never she's just been here so long.
- 1:35:22SPEAKER_11: I've never met her, but I just know of it.

- 1:35:37SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
- 1:35:38SPEAKER_00: And then now when you do come back, if you can't more time, I'd love to show you the park and show you all my things.
- 1:35:43SPEAKER_11: You can count on it.
- 1:35:44unknown: Okay.
- 1:35:44SPEAKER_11: And I'm just all excited as as I'm gathering the stuff to exit the shop.
- 1:35:49SPEAKER_13: And uh I uh before we exit, I um reach into my pouch and I pull out a little vial of honey that I usually use for Delphine's uh morning tea, and I I put it on the counter and say, I know your sister was a little gruff and harsh, and um maybe she'd feel a little better if she had some honey uh for that cost.
- 1:36:10SPEAKER_00: I think my sister's be the only one to turn honey.
- 1:36:15SPEAKER_00: I would not cut from the same cloth you had.
- 1:36:18SPEAKER_11: No.
- 1:36:19SPEAKER_16: But you know, I'll let her know you left it.
- 1:36:21SPEAKER_16: Anyway, good.
- 1:36:22SPEAKER_11: As we come up, you'll be like, this reminds me I saw the most fabulous shop.
- 1:36:26SPEAKER_11: Um, it might be burned down now, but it's Hans' Herbos back in Crystal Burl, you would have loved it.
- 1:36:31SPEAKER_11: Very similar vibe.
- 1:36:32SPEAKER_11: And you didn't take me.
- 1:36:34SPEAKER_11: I was in a hurry.
- 1:36:36SPEAKER_11: Okay.
- 1:36:37SPEAKER_11: I was looking for things.
- 1:36:38SPEAKER_11: I'll tell you later.
- 1:36:39SPEAKER_16: Open the door to Levi's here.
- 1:36:40SPEAKER_16: She's like, Oh, pay top.
- 1:36:43SPEAKER_11: I am gonna guide us to find them at the forge itself.
- 1:36:46SPEAKER_16: As you open the door, it's like the sauna opens and it's just like steam just boils out, and the cold hits you.
- 1:36:52SPEAKER_11: She's like, dude, close the door.
- 1:36:55SPEAKER_11: Alright, I'm soaking wet because I was embracing the showers, so I closed the door and re-put my jacket on over my head.
- 1:37:02SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
- 1:37:02SPEAKER_11: Press the digitation, dry you off, and me off.
- 1:37:05SPEAKER_11: Oh, thank you.
- 1:37:06SPEAKER_16: Alright, and we'll head over to you to go ahead and have your conversation.
- 1:37:10SPEAKER_19: I'm sitting at the table, he's rubbing his legs.
- 1:37:14SPEAKER_19: Any cursory observation from you, you'll notice that he's not rubbing wounds or sore spots.
- 1:37:20SPEAKER_19: He seems to be inspecting.
- 1:37:22SPEAKER_19: I'm gonna look up to you, and I'm gonna go, you know, roll.
- 1:37:25SPEAKER_19: We have something bonding and directly in common.
- 1:37:29SPEAKER_19: And what is that?
- 1:37:30SPEAKER_19: We've both been involved with this for as long as we can remember.
- 1:37:33SPEAKER_19: Our families taken from us, brought into the fold by members of the Wretched Dawn in some way.
- 1:37:39SPEAKER_19: Our families or ourselves tied to what's happening here in the future of it.
- 1:37:47SPEAKER_19: I know you don't trust the things inside me in the land.
- 1:37:51SPEAKER_19: But we're all this world's god right now.
- 1:37:53SPEAKER_19: If we don't start accepting our gifts and our curses, and working and trusting each other rather than those things, you don't have to trust the things in me, but you should trust my intent by this point.
- 1:38:07SPEAKER_19: I trust the same as hers.
- 1:38:11SPEAKER_19: No one's asking you to trust that.
- 1:38:13SPEAKER_19: But I'm try- I'm asking you to trust me over other things out there right now.
- 1:38:18SPEAKER_19: Us over the rest of the wor What else do we have out there?
- 1:38:22SPEAKER_19: Strangers who are caught up in the fold?
- 1:38:26SPEAKER_19: The only people we have right now is each other, and that's all that seems to be standing between complete collapse right now and I'm just bringing it up.
- 1:38:38SPEAKER_19: As he stands up and he starts stretching.
- 1:38:42SPEAKER_19: How high do you think that roof is?
- 1:38:44SPEAKER_16: Well, yeah, it's an open concept hotel, right?
- 1:38:46SPEAKER_16: So the the rooms are actually up and around a landing, so you can walk to the railing and look down onto the eating area.
- 1:38:54SPEAKER_16: I'd say about 25 feet to the ceiling.
- 1:38:59SPEAKER_21: I don't know.
- 1:39:00SPEAKER_21: Probably what's how much can a man normally jump?
- 1:39:05SPEAKER_21: Straight up.
- 1:39:06SPEAKER_21: I don't know.
- 1:39:07SPEAKER_21: Really talented.
- 1:39:09SPEAKER_19: Three feet in the air.
- 1:39:12SPEAKER_19: So I start flexing and going.
- 1:39:15unknown: Hmm.
- 1:39:17SPEAKER_19: I'm gonna jump up and try to touch the roof.
- 1:39:20SPEAKER_19: Okay, can you jump 25 feet?
- 1:39:22SPEAKER_19: So my s my high jump is seven feet plus nine feet plus a d20.
- 1:39:26SPEAKER_16: 7 feet plus 9 feet plus d20.
- 1:39:29SPEAKER_16: So you're 16 feet without the okay, d20, go ahead.
- 1:39:34SPEAKER_19: So I cover 17 feet towards the roof where you roll.
- 1:39:41SPEAKER_19: That is my minimum jump high jump.
- 1:39:44SPEAKER_19: That is my minimum high jump.
- 1:39:45SPEAKER_19: So it's like he jumps.
- 1:39:47SPEAKER_16: So he jumps up in the air and and and rolled, you see it, and you're like, okay.
- 1:39:52SPEAKER_21: Yeah, pretty much.
- 1:39:53SPEAKER_21: I'm like pretty much.
- 1:39:54SPEAKER_21: I jumped.
- 1:39:55SPEAKER_21: You can jump very high.
- 1:39:56SPEAKER_21: There is no question about that.
- 1:39:58SPEAKER_21: I come back landing down.
- 1:40:02SPEAKER_19: I just look to you, I'm like.
- 1:40:05SPEAKER_19: There's been changes to my structure.
- 1:40:09SPEAKER_19: Not by the ink.
- 1:40:11SPEAKER_19: It's something else inside me.
- 1:40:14SPEAKER_19: It's part of me.
- 1:40:16SPEAKER_19: My movement's increased.
- 1:40:18SPEAKER_19: This, I go, I get start getting excited actually a little.
- 1:40:22SPEAKER_19: And I'm like.
- 1:40:25SPEAKER_19: I go for it again.
- 1:40:26SPEAKER_19: I'm like, I bet you I can hit that.
- 1:40:28SPEAKER_19: So I crash into the roof.
- 1:40:30SPEAKER_19: Sorry, what are you doing?
- 1:40:31SPEAKER_19: I'm jumping straight up again, trying to hit it.
- 1:40:33SPEAKER_19: And this time I hit 27 feet.
- 1:40:35SPEAKER_19: So uh I guess I don't crash.
- 1:40:36SPEAKER_19: I smack into the top.
- 1:40:38SPEAKER_19: Okay.
- 1:40:39SPEAKER_19: So coming back down, I'm landing, and just and I'm just looking to him and go.
- 1:40:44SPEAKER_16: You did actually dead the roof.
- 1:40:45SPEAKER_16: Okay.
- 1:40:46SPEAKER_16: You've done damage to the hotel.
- 1:40:49SPEAKER_19: I'm a little shocked as I'm I'm a little shocked as I'm not.
- 1:40:52SPEAKER_19: As I'm looking at the rock.
- 1:40:55SPEAKER_16: Oh, yeah, but it's still like an interior.
- 1:40:57SPEAKER_16: Yeah, I c I cracked into it pretty hard.
- 1:40:58SPEAKER_19: I was trying to jump, but I exceeded by two feet, so I smacked into it.
- 1:41:01SPEAKER_21: I say I you pr I suggest you probably don't do that again just looking at the damage you caused.
- 1:41:07SPEAKER_19: I'm looking at it going, yeah, I get you're not more focused on the fact that I can do that.
- 1:41:12SPEAKER_21: I accept there's many things I can't explain from what I've seen from this group of people, so.
- 1:41:18SPEAKER_19: See, that's what I'm asking for for everyone.
- 1:41:23SPEAKER_19: We need to accept every and everything about each other and things I can accept and things I cannot.
- 1:41:29SPEAKER_19: Well, you're gonna have to until this is over.
- 1:41:31SPEAKER_19: Because none of it matters as much as stopping what's happening.
- 1:41:34SPEAKER_19: And I don't disagree.
- 1:41:38SPEAKER_21: It doesn't mean I I can uh I have to accept it or be happy about it.
- 1:41:43SPEAKER_19: You don't have to be happy.
- 1:41:44SPEAKER_19: Or if you're not accepting what we are and what we're having to deal with right now, how can we put trust back in you?
- 1:41:50SPEAKER_21: Well, how can you not want to heal yourselves?
- 1:41:52SPEAKER_21: How can you not want that to be a priority in your lives?
- 1:41:55SPEAKER_19: Because if I prioritize this right now, I mean, fair example.
- 1:42:00SPEAKER_19: Why we- why are we not gonna prioritize Delphine's problems in Silvery Moon right now over what we are immediately trying to fix and solve?
- 1:42:08SPEAKER_19: These problems with us, as you call problems, because our curses we are on us at will, we don't know if you're you can control it.
- 1:42:15SPEAKER_19: When have I turned on you?
- 1:42:17SPEAKER_19: When have I when have I actually lost control in one in one moment on you?
- 1:42:21SPEAKER_19: Except for last night where I you were not attacked, and I wasn't in the same situation.
- 1:42:27SPEAKER_19: I was under assault by a brand new creature that came out.
- 1:42:35SPEAKER_21: So what do you expect me to do?
- 1:42:37SPEAKER_19: Uh I'm not talking on on that.
- 1:42:39SPEAKER_19: I trust you on me, Rold.
- 1:42:41SPEAKER_19: I I I know that you will do the right thing when it comes to me.
- 1:42:44SPEAKER_19: All what I'm saying here is we need to trust and learn to accept the group and how we're working together and the directions we're going in.
- 1:42:50SPEAKER_21: And I am just saying that that does not just apply to you.
- 1:42:54SPEAKER_21: It applies to anyone in this group.
- 1:42:56SPEAKER_21: If we're here to do good, we're here to do good.
- 1:42:59SPEAKER_21: If someone can no longer do good, then obviously they're no longer valid for this party.
- 1:43:07SPEAKER_19: And I think that would be the exact point that I'm making.
- 1:43:12SPEAKER_19: Then why?
- 1:43:12SPEAKER_21: Because you're treating us like we already aren't able to do good, like our decisions are in question, when I question that you don't want to get better, but I will I obviously.
- 1:43:23SPEAKER_21: What makes you think I don't want to get better?
- 1:43:28SPEAKER_19: Did I not just say we need to return these to where they came from, not put them on other people or making them someone else's burden?
- 1:43:34SPEAKER_19: I want to get rid of what's wrong with me, Rold.
- 1:43:36SPEAKER_19: I do.
- 1:43:36SPEAKER_19: I just won't prioritize it over everybody else.
- 1:43:42SPEAKER_21: I don't disagree with that.
- 1:43:45SPEAKER_21: It still changes nothing.
- 1:43:47SPEAKER_21: This conversation is pointless.
- 1:43:49SPEAKER_21: You know my feelings on this.
- 1:43:51SPEAKER_21: They're not going to change unless we actually are able to heal you.
- 1:43:58SPEAKER_21: It's going to be difficult to travel and trust with you, wouldn't you?
- 1:44:02SPEAKER_21: Why?
- 1:44:02SPEAKER_21: Have I done something that would just show that I intend to hurt you?
- 1:44:08SPEAKER_19: It's the worry of can we trust you to be there when we need you?
- 1:44:11SPEAKER_21: Last night, I was on my own again.
- 1:44:14SPEAKER_21: I'm I was helping the townsfolk and then I got sick, apparently.
- 1:44:19SPEAKER_19: And that's exactly what I speak of, Roled.
- 1:44:24SPEAKER_19: Instead of helping the townsfolk, perhaps we should have been a world with priests and clerics.
- 1:44:28SPEAKER_19: Perhap perhaps we should perhaps we should have grouped up and talked.
- 1:44:31SPEAKER_19: We would have maybe been able to help you with your sickness.
- 1:44:34SPEAKER_19: And you would have been there to help us.
- 1:44:36SPEAKER_19: That's all I'm saying is we need to rely on each other beyond these things.
- 1:44:42SPEAKER_19: We need to trust each other's company and conversation and decisions.
- 1:44:46SPEAKER_19: I'm bidding you to join us.
- 1:44:53SPEAKER_21: on these issues.
- 1:44:54SPEAKER_21: I don't know why this is something you cannot understand where I'm coming from.
- 1:44:59SPEAKER_21: In fact, the whole reason I was away there was testing that bow, which is useless to me.
- 1:45:04SPEAKER_21: However, it seemed to have been of value when uh Ventor was using it before.
- 1:45:12SPEAKER_21: Yet you don't want it, so it's it's not so much that too old.
- 1:45:18SPEAKER_21: Um I believe what I'm I think back to I uh the the this has been an interesting conversation, but I don't really wish to speak of this anymore.
- 1:45:25SPEAKER_21: I will uh observe you from afar if that is okay until the others return.
- 1:45:33SPEAKER_19: Well, at that I'm like, I look to you, and I go, alright.
- 1:45:36SPEAKER_19: I'm simply trying to understand you more.
- 1:45:39SPEAKER_19: I'm gonna go outside and test something.
- 1:45:42SPEAKER_19: And so I go outside too.
- 1:45:44SPEAKER_19: I will follow at a distance.
- 1:45:45SPEAKER_16: Okay, we are gonna take a short break, and then we will resume.
- 1:45:52SPEAKER_19: Hey, it's Einar here.
- 1:45:53SPEAKER_19: Thanks for walking this road with us.
- 1:45:55SPEAKER_19: We'll go back to it after this short break, so don't stray too far.
- 1:46:01SPEAKER_14: So we're back.
- 1:46:03SPEAKER_16: And Einar has left the hotel.
- 1:46:09SPEAKER_16: You guys are on the outside walking around.
- 1:46:10SPEAKER_16: You do see Einar kind of throw open the doors and I need to find Drax.
- 1:46:15SPEAKER_16: Start you can see him easily.
- 1:46:16SPEAKER_16: They're everyone's outside now.
- 1:46:17SPEAKER_16: This is all simultaneous, and you're walking outside.
- 1:46:21SPEAKER_19: I'm still following her slightly.
- 1:46:24SPEAKER_19: Einar kind of thinks to himself and and eventually let's just show you both how fast I can move.
- 1:46:31SPEAKER_19: And I try to open up for the first time, sprinting into all fours for about 20 feet.
- 1:46:39SPEAKER_19: I break into a long jump, trying for the first time, and since we're going with Max, uh that is 37 feet.
- 1:46:50SPEAKER_19: 37 feet in a long jump while going up the full distance, too.
- 1:46:54SPEAKER_19: So he just lets off fully.
- 1:46:56SPEAKER_19: 42 feet in long jump and then 30 um 36 in height.
- 1:47:02SPEAKER_19: Just takes off, jumps, heads another four another 20 feet, and I'm heading for the for the wall.
- 1:47:09SPEAKER_19: Just in a full sprint after trying this jump.
- 1:47:11SPEAKER_19: Wow, is that so is that a feat?
- 1:47:13SPEAKER_19: No, that's my movement as a barbarian beast.
- 1:47:15SPEAKER_16: Your movement as a barbarian beast?
- 1:47:16SPEAKER_16: But that's a maximum very cool.
- 1:47:18SPEAKER_16: That's the actual max action.
- 1:47:19SPEAKER_16: Do you have to do uh an action for it?
- 1:47:21SPEAKER_16: Or it's my jump, which is part of your movement.
- 1:47:24SPEAKER_19: So I do have to move 10 feet before I can do that part of my movement.
- 1:47:27SPEAKER_19: Right.
- 1:47:28SPEAKER_19: And you are absolutely allowed to make me do checks if I'm jumping over actual obstacles or characters that I want to try.
- 1:47:34SPEAKER_16: Unless it's medium, with that distance and that height, you will be checking like a motherfucker.
- 1:47:38SPEAKER_19: Absolutely, but so I just try to pace roll the little and actually hide on the bottom.
- 1:47:42SPEAKER_19: Well, yeah, you watch it.
- 1:47:43SPEAKER_16: I think it just like leaps off and just kind of disappears into the haze that is the storm that's outside right now.
- 1:47:50SPEAKER_16: I do nothing.
- 1:47:51SPEAKER_11: It's like Edward Cullen running through the forest.
- 1:47:55SPEAKER_11: Yes, very much so.
- 1:47:57SPEAKER_16: Except for not running through the forest, but like does he sparkle?
- 1:48:00SPEAKER_16: Prancing prancing into the air.
- 1:48:02SPEAKER_19: He does enjoy this actually.
- 1:48:03SPEAKER_19: I can only do it every six seconds since it did a job.
- 1:48:05SPEAKER_19: But I gathered myself, but I gotta do a circuit.
- 1:48:07SPEAKER_19: I actually do it, I actually do a circuit.
- 1:48:08SPEAKER_19: He's just running and he comes, goes over the wall, comes back over the wall.
- 1:48:11SPEAKER_05: Parkour.
- 1:48:12SPEAKER_19: Heads over, like you know what?
- 1:48:14SPEAKER_19: It's exactly what is happening.
- 1:48:15SPEAKER_19: He's on a he's just kind of This is exhilarating.
- 1:48:19SPEAKER_19: Yeah, it's a very big shock to him.
- 1:48:21SPEAKER_16: Watch as Einar runs out of the hotel and just breaks into uh like a gymnast.
- 1:48:27SPEAKER_16: Just jumping all over the place.
- 1:48:29SPEAKER_16: Uh you four are in the courtyard, you see this as well.
- 1:48:32SPEAKER_11: I'd be in line to Drax.
- 1:48:33SPEAKER_11: I'm like, did he have coffee?
- 1:48:36SPEAKER_11: Did someone give your brother coffee?
- 1:48:38SPEAKER_11: He's awfully amped up.
- 1:48:39SPEAKER_11: I think I gave him chocolate.
- 1:48:41SPEAKER_02: Um, brother's just excited to uh go into the pits.
- 1:48:45SPEAKER_11: I'm just gonna grab you a little bit closer.
- 1:48:50SPEAKER_11: I was asking the wizard about something, and um she seemed a little bit too interested in the Althea coin for my taste.
- 1:49:00SPEAKER_11: I would like to make a deposit in the bank.
- 1:49:03SPEAKER_02: Ah! Ah!
- 1:49:05SPEAKER_11: I'm picking up what you're throwing down, and uh, towards, like because I'm super paranoid, towards like the shop, and I'm gonna turn your giant form so that you're blocking the vision, and then I'm gonna put the Althea coin in the bag I'm holding.
- 1:49:18SPEAKER_02: Alright, well, if you're doing that, I'm gonna hold the thing right above my in front of me so my body covers the view.
- 1:49:26SPEAKER_11: Delphine does a very audible Right by your groin.
- 1:49:29SPEAKER_02: Right by my groin.
- 1:49:35SPEAKER_02: What?
- 1:49:36SPEAKER_02: I just put the bag in.
- 1:49:40SPEAKER_02: I put it in and he is quite handsome.
- 1:49:45SPEAKER_10: I I'm just sprinkling it around.
- 1:49:49SPEAKER_02: I deposit the coin into the bag.
- 1:49:52SPEAKER_02: Um as you guys are.
- 1:49:54SPEAKER_11: And then I got him like the same rules as the other stuff.
- 1:49:57SPEAKER_11: Don't give it to people.
- 1:49:58SPEAKER_16: I keep it.
- 1:50:00SPEAKER_16: You will see like as that goes on now there's like a horn that blasts.
- 1:50:06SPEAKER_16: And you watch as about five or six what look like really heavily armored dwarves come marching out of the war tent, followed by um Rurik and Mr.
- 1:50:18SPEAKER_16: Drax walking together.
- 1:50:20SPEAKER_16: And you look at Mr.
- 1:50:21SPEAKER_16: Drax, it's like he's adorned in like dwarven armor.
- 1:50:25SPEAKER_16: He's got like a war hammer on his back.
- 1:50:28SPEAKER_20: Thank you.
- 1:50:29SPEAKER_16: Kind of looks at you guys and he's like, he just waves and he's marching after them, and they're marching off towards the uh the chapel where the teleportation circle is.
- 1:50:41SPEAKER_13: We all stand there respectfully watching.
- 1:50:44SPEAKER_11: I uh whack everybody to pay attention and be respectful of Mr.
- 1:50:48SPEAKER_11: Drax's I wave at Mr.
- 1:50:50SPEAKER_11: Drax Goings.
- 1:50:51SPEAKER_16: I catch up to them.
- 1:50:52SPEAKER_16: He's like he he's he's like those one of those little hand wave.
- 1:50:57SPEAKER_13: A little hand wave of my parents are watching.
- 1:50:59SPEAKER_19: Yeah.
- 1:50:59SPEAKER_19: I I catch up to him to them.
- 1:51:01SPEAKER_19: I land beside him, and I go to do my handshake that me and my brother have.
- 1:51:06SPEAKER_19: And we're gonna see if I can get you to do it.
- 1:51:10SPEAKER_11: And he's making him do the handshake.
- 1:51:14SPEAKER_11: He seemed very reluctant though.
- 1:51:17SPEAKER_16: And he uh they kind of march off and you watch him as they they go into the chapel, and you can see the the the arcane light as the teleportation circle is activated, and blue light that kind of bleeds through the door and out some of the windows, and you can see it coming out through the cracks in the stone masonry of the the chapel, and then you can hear the marching of the boots, and then disappears.
- 1:51:49SPEAKER_09: And Mr.
- 1:51:50SPEAKER_09: Drax disappears?
- 1:51:51SPEAKER_16: But you don't see it, it's inside the chapel.
- 1:51:53SPEAKER_07: But the light is gone, and we assume that they are all gone.
- 1:51:57SPEAKER_03: We know that the teleportation has occurred.
- 1:52:01SPEAKER_03: Teleportation has occurred.
- 1:52:03SPEAKER_03: I tried to switch consciousness with my echo.
- 1:52:07SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 1:52:09SPEAKER_16: So this is how we're gonna do this.
- 1:52:15SPEAKER_16: The distance, the max max distance that you have with Mr.
- 1:52:22SPEAKER_16: Drax is a thousand feet.
- 1:52:24SPEAKER_16: Never have gone any further than that, right?
- 1:52:29SPEAKER_16: Yes.
- 1:52:30SPEAKER_16: Yes, for sure.
- 1:52:35SPEAKER_16: You are able to switch consciousness with Mr.
- 1:52:38SPEAKER_16: Drax.
- 1:52:40SPEAKER_16: But you guys watch as Drax all of a sudden falls to one knee.
- 1:52:52SPEAKER_10: Between Drewkin and Ole and I'm like, uh I tried to someone wanna heal him?
- 1:52:58SPEAKER_16: And he's drooling and his mental capacity seems like it almost is like he's having a massive stroke.
- 1:53:06SPEAKER_16: Like there's a there's a severed mental connection there.
- 1:53:10SPEAKER_16: However, you you all of a sudden snap awake and you are on one knee with one fist in the snow, and all the dwarves are looking at you like, what is going on?
- 1:53:23SPEAKER_16: But you are standing in the sunshine on a cliff in a dwarven mine and a temple that overlooks Silvery Moon.
- 1:53:42SPEAKER_03: Take a moment to gather my uh my faculties, eventually stand up, kind of put my hand out to kind of motion to the dwarves that I'm okay.
- 1:53:56SPEAKER_01: They're like and Rora goes, You alright?
- 1:54:00SPEAKER_01: You took way a little stumble there.
- 1:54:03SPEAKER_01: I thought maybe we lost you in the teleport.
- 1:54:06SPEAKER_03: Do they notice I look different than the echo?
- 1:54:11SPEAKER_16: Your garments are covering everything.
- 1:54:13SPEAKER_16: Okay, so no, they don't see that.
- 1:54:16SPEAKER_16: Okay, because he's still in the echo.
- 1:54:18SPEAKER_16: Alright.
- 1:54:19SPEAKER_16: He is he is in the consciousness with the echo.
- 1:54:22SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, switch consciousness, so kinda get my faculties, get up, tell everyone I'm okay.
- 1:54:31SPEAKER_03: In my head, I whisper, I'm like, I made it through.
- 1:54:36SPEAKER_03: This is big.
- 1:54:37SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:54:37SPEAKER_03: And then I basically look out at Silvery Moon.
- 1:54:42SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 1:54:43SPEAKER_03: What do I see?
- 1:54:44SPEAKER_03: Is there fires?
- 1:54:45SPEAKER_03: Is there smoke?
- 1:54:46SPEAKER_03: Are the walls destroyed?
- 1:54:48SPEAKER_03: Like, what can I tell from this distance?
- 1:54:50SPEAKER_16: Okay, so you're quite a ways away.
- 1:54:53SPEAKER_16: It was very careful that you were not teleporting directly into Silvery Moon because we didn't they didn't know what they were gonna find when they got there.
- 1:55:01SPEAKER_16: They also didn't know the work, and you don't want to be stranded and teleport, right?
- 1:55:05SPEAKER_16: So they tell they opted to teleport to something that was about 15 miles away.
- 1:55:11SPEAKER_16: So you're quite a ways away, but you can see Silvery Moon, and yes, there is large, vast amounts of smoke that are pillaging out of the city.
- 1:55:23SPEAKER_03: Would the dwarves carry any type of telescope apparatus?
- 1:55:28SPEAKER_03: And would that be something that I would even know about as a character?
- 1:55:33SPEAKER_16: Yeah, let's say they do.
- 1:55:34SPEAKER_16: Say Rorik has one.
- 1:55:36SPEAKER_16: Rorik!
- 1:55:37SPEAKER_03: Can I borrow your scope?
- 1:55:40SPEAKER_15: Uh yes, uh, yeah, sure, you do.
- 1:55:43SPEAKER_15: My grandfather gave me this.
- 1:55:45SPEAKER_15: You drop it up, break your legs.
- 1:55:47SPEAKER_16: This is very high quality.
- 1:55:48SPEAKER_16: It is, it's beautiful.
- 1:55:49SPEAKER_16: It's ornate.
- 1:55:50SPEAKER_03: Alright, and I look through the scope.
- 1:55:53SPEAKER_16: Alright, so the scope will give you a little bit of an advantage, but it's not a 15-mile scope, right?
- 1:55:57SPEAKER_16: So uh it'll take you a little bit closer.
- 1:55:59SPEAKER_16: You'll get a little more of a basically just look at think of it as like taking a picture and then bringing it a little bit closer to your face, right?
- 1:56:05SPEAKER_16: So it's still blurry, still hard to make out figures and and uh locations, but it does to give you a little tiny bit more detail on the town.
- 1:56:14SPEAKER_16: What are you looking for?
- 1:56:15SPEAKER_03: I am looking for do I see orcs predominantly in the town, or do I see elves predominantly in the town, or does the town look vacant?
- 1:56:24SPEAKER_03: I am looking outside of the town, does it look like there's been any trees or any like war machines have come through that have destroyed swaths of land?
- 1:56:34SPEAKER_03: And I'm looking around to see if there's fires outside of the town somewhere else.
- 1:56:40SPEAKER_16: Okay, so you notice what appears to you as a very normal-looking war scene.
- 1:56:46SPEAKER_16: Trees have been cut down, fields have been cleared, there have been war machines that were created.
- 1:56:52SPEAKER_16: The big thing that stands out to you though is the giant blast marks in the walls around the city that have shattered the the stone.
- 1:57:01SPEAKER_16: The beautiful white stone that is Silvery Moon.
- 1:57:06SPEAKER_03: Would these blast marks, would I interpret them to be something similar to the barrels of gunpowder that were in the other town?
- 1:57:17SPEAKER_03: Like would it would it be something that I would view as a similar type of explosion?
- 1:57:21SPEAKER_16: From the distance that you're at right now, you you're not as much of a demolition expert to really understand blast radius and all that kind of stuff.
- 1:57:29SPEAKER_16: So to you it just looks like there are holes in the walls that crumbled open.
- 1:57:33SPEAKER_16: It would take uh an investigation check at a much closer range for you to be able to even have an inkling of that idea.
- 1:57:39SPEAKER_16: You do notice that there seems to be an elven population still within the walls, but there is also less dense population than you would normally expect from a city of that size.
- 1:57:53SPEAKER_16: So without getting closer, it's too hard to tell.
- 1:57:56SPEAKER_16: Okay.
- 1:57:56SPEAKER_03: I I hand back the uh I guess the binocular to or the telescope to the dwarf.
- 1:58:04SPEAKER_03: Kind of do a little motion, like almost like praying to God, like, I hope this works, kind of thing.
- 1:58:10SPEAKER_16: And I'm gonna try to switch back consciousness.
- 1:58:13SPEAKER_16: Okay, so you guys, you are with Mr.
- 1:58:17SPEAKER_16: Drax, and he is freaking out.
- 1:58:22SPEAKER_16: He's unable to like verbalize anything, but it's not his body, it's Drax's body.
- 1:58:28SPEAKER_16: So before he was in an Echo Knight's body, and he was subject to the Echo Knight, but now he's in a seemingly a human body, and you see him as he starts to shake and go his eyes roll back in his head, and blood starts to kind of run out of his nose and run out of his ears.
- 1:58:49SPEAKER_05: And he's he's shaking and he's just like grab him by his teeth and like look, look at me, look at me, it's okay, you'll be okay.
- 1:58:56SPEAKER_16: And he's looking and he's looking at you and he's trying to maintain it, but then his Can you help him, Drewkin?
- 1:59:01SPEAKER_16: Start to roll back, and you watch as as his hands and his fingers start to curl, and then Oh, this is horrible!
- 1:59:10SPEAKER_10: No, no, heel, heal, heal! Do it! Do something word.
- 1:59:16SPEAKER_10: Wait.
- 1:59:17SPEAKER_21: But that's really Drax.
- 1:59:19SPEAKER_10: That's Drax yes, that's Drax's body.
- 1:59:22SPEAKER_21: That's not good.
- 1:59:23SPEAKER_13: No.
- 1:59:24SPEAKER_11: I can't heal a word but while he while he's joking.
- 1:59:27SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
- 1:59:27SPEAKER_16: Okay.
- 1:59:28SPEAKER_16: How many uh hit points do you want to give him?
- 1:59:30SPEAKER_11: Uh, as soon as my stupid thing comes back up.
- 1:59:34SPEAKER_21: Um Can we message Drax?
- 1:59:38SPEAKER_11: I'm occupied at the moment.
- 1:59:40SPEAKER_11: Okay, hold on, hold on.
- 1:59:41SPEAKER_11: Uh okay, I bicycle.
- 1:59:46SPEAKER_11: Seven.
- 1:59:46SPEAKER_16: Seven hit points.
- 1:59:47SPEAKER_11: So yeah, you guys still holding his like face in my hands.
- 1:59:51SPEAKER_11: I'm like, it's okay, it's okay.
- 1:59:53SPEAKER_11: You'll be alright.
- 1:59:54SPEAKER_11: We're here, we're here, we're here, we're here.
- 1:59:58SPEAKER_10: Shit! Again.
- 2:00:00SPEAKER_16: And then he'll look at something around the sun.
- 2:00:02SPEAKER_16: And then there's six hit points.
- 2:00:03SPEAKER_16: Again, he pops out and he is just being met, he's being tortured.
- 2:00:08SPEAKER_16: Oh shit.
- 2:00:09SPEAKER_11: Alright, I'm gonna do ascending to Drax.
- 2:00:12SPEAKER_16: And then shortly again.
- 2:00:16SPEAKER_10: Just across the universe.
- 2:00:18SPEAKER_10: I'm like, Drax, get back here! Well, he's finger what he's doing.
- 2:00:22SPEAKER_10: Your body is dying!
- 2:00:25SPEAKER_19: Well, he's figuring out what he's doing during them doing stuff.

- 2:02:14SPEAKER_16: Okay.
- 2:02:16SPEAKER_05: We're gonna cry.
- 2:02:18SPEAKER_16: The switch from the consciousness has to happen while Mr.
- 2:02:24SPEAKER_16: Drax is alive.
- 2:02:26SPEAKER_16: But the simultaneousness of it is not gonna be able to be done through conversation or through sending because sending is delayed.
- 2:02:36SPEAKER_16: So here's what we're gonna do.
- 2:02:38SPEAKER_16: Here's what we're gonna do again.
- 2:02:40SPEAKER_09: Snailing too much.
- 2:02:41SPEAKER_16: Yeah, I love this.
- 2:02:42SPEAKER_16: We're gonna have Drax and we're gonna have Mr.
- 2:02:47SPEAKER_16: Drax roll, and we're gonna get three chances.
- 2:02:51SPEAKER_16: All three of us have to roll a D20 and be within five of each other for the timing to line up.
- 2:03:01SPEAKER_06: Can you guidance yourself?
- 2:03:03SPEAKER_06: Or fucking losing.
- 2:03:04SPEAKER_06: I can guidance him.
- 2:03:06SPEAKER_16: Be careful though.
- 2:03:07SPEAKER_16: Be careful, because if you give yourself too much of a boost, you'll go beyond.
- 2:03:12SPEAKER_16: You might go beyond what I roll.
- 2:03:13SPEAKER_16: Can you roll first and then?
- 2:03:15SPEAKER_20: Yes, you can roll first and then decide with guidance.
- 2:03:17SPEAKER_20: Okay.
- 2:03:17SPEAKER_11: So it's a good decide if you're gonna use it.
- 2:03:20SPEAKER_11: Same with inspiration.
- 2:03:21SPEAKER_11: You could decide afterwards.
- 2:03:22SPEAKER_16: Oh, yeah.
- 2:03:23SPEAKER_16: Exactly.
- 2:03:23SPEAKER_16: The three of us are gonna roll this at the same time.
- 2:03:25SPEAKER_16: So yeah, it's all guided in the city.
- 2:03:26SPEAKER_11: There's nothing the rest of us can do to help.
- 2:03:28SPEAKER_11: Watch and cry.
- 2:03:30SPEAKER_19: Watch.
- 2:03:32SPEAKER_19: I'm holding my brother and looked more panicked than I'd ever.
- 2:03:37SPEAKER_11: I'm gonna take my friendship bracelet.
- 2:03:38SPEAKER_11: I'm gonna put it in Mr.
- 2:03:39SPEAKER_11: Drax's hand.
- 2:03:40SPEAKER_16: Okay, and so Mr.
- 2:03:42SPEAKER_16: Drax again, once again, is gonna expire because the time has happened.
- 2:03:45SPEAKER_16: So he's gonna expire again.
- 2:03:46SPEAKER_16: The more health points you give him gives Mr.
- 2:03:50SPEAKER_16: Drax advantage on his dice.
- 2:03:54SPEAKER_16: And he can pick which of the dice gets closer.
- 2:03:58SPEAKER_11: Delphine is keeping herself as like in his vision.
- 2:04:00SPEAKER_11: She's trying to anchor him every time he comes back.
- 2:04:03SPEAKER_11: So would just as I need to be trying to heal him while he's rolling to try and get it?
- 2:04:09SPEAKER_16: Or is it the one who's gotta heal?
- 2:04:12SPEAKER_16: Whoever is healing is doing the rolling.
- 2:04:14SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 2:04:14SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 2:04:15SPEAKER_16: You can we help him?
- 2:04:17SPEAKER_16: Uh not unless you are good at healing.
- 2:04:20SPEAKER_16: There you go.
- 2:04:21SPEAKER_11: I I I would like to give you.
- 2:04:23SPEAKER_16: You're gonna help, but it's gonna have to be, you're gonna have to expend a spell slot to help him.
- 2:04:26SPEAKER_16: I can do it.
- 2:04:27SPEAKER_11: I'm just trying to keep Mr.
- 2:04:28SPEAKER_11: Rex grounded every time he comes back.
- 2:04:30SPEAKER_16: That's all I'm doing.
- 2:04:30SPEAKER_16: She can expend a spell slot, that'll give you advantage if you decide to cast another health spell.
- 2:04:35SPEAKER_07: What level of spell slot do I need to c to extend?
- 2:04:38SPEAKER_07: Like the same that he's using.
- 2:04:40SPEAKER_16: So if I have to do that, I will just you can just use a level one for health.
- 2:04:44SPEAKER_16: No, I don't care what type of.
- 2:04:45SPEAKER_20: Okay, well, I'll throw another heal onto him right now.
- 2:04:47SPEAKER_20: Okay, go ahead.
- 2:04:48SPEAKER_20: Just to do it, and then we'll do the roll.

- 2:06:12SPEAKER_16: So he wasn't.
- 2:06:13SPEAKER_16: So Drax wasn't timed up with us.
- 2:06:15SPEAKER_16: So we get two more shots at this.
- 2:06:17SPEAKER_16: Me and you were good.
- 2:06:18SPEAKER_16: You and I were good, but he wasn't.
- 2:06:20SPEAKER_04: You could have been good with him if you'd used the other one.
- 2:06:22SPEAKER_04: You get to pick.
- 2:06:22SPEAKER_16: Okay, so you watch is not matter.
- 2:06:24SPEAKER_16: I would be up again.
- 2:06:25SPEAKER_16: He's the eye to roll back again.
- 2:06:27SPEAKER_16: He's got one more shot at this before he expires again.
- 2:06:30SPEAKER_16: Do I get advantage again?
- 2:06:31SPEAKER_11: Yes, I'm expending another slot.
- 2:06:33SPEAKER_16: Change it up.
- 2:06:33SPEAKER_16: Yes.
- 2:06:34SPEAKER_16: Okay.

- 2:07:42SPEAKER_16: So 40.
- 2:07:45SPEAKER_16: He watched.
- 2:07:45SPEAKER_16: We get one more chance at this.
- 2:07:49SPEAKER_11: I'm giving him another slot, but I'm back with the concepts.
- 2:07:54SPEAKER_11: I don't know if it's gonna help Mr.
- 2:07:55SPEAKER_11: Drax at all.
- 2:07:56SPEAKER_11: Can I kiss him?
- 2:07:57SPEAKER_16: Oh, these are pretty gross.
- 2:07:59SPEAKER_10: I don't care.
- 2:08:00SPEAKER_16: Okay, yeah, you can kiss him.
- 2:08:01SPEAKER_16: I don't want to try.
- 2:08:02SPEAKER_10: I'm trying to bolster his spirits, make him try harder to hang.
- 2:08:05SPEAKER_16: You guys haven't been able to do something?
- 2:08:07SPEAKER_16: Like the extra D4.
- 2:08:08SPEAKER_16: Can I do something?
- 2:08:08SPEAKER_16: What do you want to try and do?
- 2:08:09SPEAKER_16: It's hard to get.
- 2:08:11SPEAKER_16: If you try and kiss him, it's gonna be weird.
- 2:08:13SPEAKER_19: I'd like to cast tech thoughts on him and just try to hold him there with my telepathy speaking while I'm entering his mind.
- 2:08:18SPEAKER_19: Just trying to try to mentally be a support there.
- 2:08:21SPEAKER_16: Um okay, is that a spell?
- 2:08:23SPEAKER_16: You have to say, is it a spell slot?
- 2:08:25SPEAKER_16: It is.
- 2:08:25SPEAKER_16: Okay, hold on to that spell slot because you already rolled your medicine roll to know that his brain is mush.
- 2:08:32SPEAKER_16: So it's not gonna be.
- 2:08:33SPEAKER_16: So you would already know that you wouldn't be able to do that.
- 2:08:35SPEAKER_16: So I can't cannot.
- 2:08:35SPEAKER_16: Yeah, I just want to save you from spending a spell slot.
- 2:08:37SPEAKER_16: Um, if you're gonna kiss him and it's open-mouth kiss when he's got blood coming out of his nose and his mouth.
- 2:08:42SPEAKER_10: I'm scared for Mr.
- 2:08:44SPEAKER_10: Drax and Drax.
- 2:08:45SPEAKER_16: I'm gonna take advantage of that.
- 2:08:46SPEAKER_10: Yay!
- 2:08:48SPEAKER_20: Can we give guidance to him?
- 2:08:52SPEAKER_20: No.
- 2:08:54SPEAKER_02: Why didn't you do this, Drax?
- 2:08:59SPEAKER_19: Nothing, too.
- 2:09:04SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna go for just before you guys roll.
- 2:09:06SPEAKER_03: So it's all on you guys.
- 2:09:07SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 2:09:10SPEAKER_21: That's a good one.
- 2:09:11SPEAKER_16: That's in the middle of the road.
- 2:09:12SPEAKER_16: We gotta get within five.
- 2:09:13SPEAKER_16: What'd you get?
- 2:09:14SPEAKER_20: Yes.
- 2:09:14SPEAKER_20: I'm within five.
- 2:09:15SPEAKER_20: Eleven.
- 2:09:16SPEAKER_20: I got an eleven.
- 2:09:17SPEAKER_20: Come on.
- 2:09:20SPEAKER_16: No, I didn't make it.
- 2:09:22SPEAKER_10: But I'm a kiss!
- 2:09:24SPEAKER_16: I didn't get it.
- 2:09:24SPEAKER_16: Well no, eight.
- 2:09:26SPEAKER_16: No eighteen eighteen.
- 2:09:27SPEAKER_16: There's no plus.
- 2:09:28SPEAKER_16: There's no plus.
- 2:09:30SPEAKER_16: Five equals thirteen.
- 2:09:31SPEAKER_16: There's no one.
- 2:09:32SPEAKER_16: There's no one.
- 2:09:37SPEAKER_16: But I'm within five of him.
- 2:09:41SPEAKER_16: That was three rolls.
- 2:09:42SPEAKER_16: That was a stay in the consciousness of the echo.
- 2:09:47SPEAKER_16: What happens?
- 2:09:48SPEAKER_16: Yeah, what happens to the echo?
- 2:09:49SPEAKER_16: Well, let's find out, shall we?
- 2:09:51SPEAKER_16: So you watch as Drax's body falls limp in your arms.
- 2:10:01SPEAKER_14: And is it drained?
- 2:10:03SPEAKER_16: And yeah, and well, she was holding him.
- 2:10:05SPEAKER_16: No, she was holding him.
- 2:10:06SPEAKER_16: Oh, you were holding him, also.
- 2:10:07SPEAKER_16: Yeah, I was holding him and she was holding him.
- 2:10:11SPEAKER_16: That was my body.
- 2:10:12SPEAKER_02: I thought she was holding me too.
- 2:10:14SPEAKER_10: You still didn't get any.
- 2:10:16SPEAKER_10: Okay, yeah, okay.
- 2:10:17SPEAKER_02: So sorry, I'm not sure.
- 2:10:17SPEAKER_02: Technically, it's in Drax's body.
- 2:10:19SPEAKER_16: So let me let me just let me backtrack that so Einar.
- 2:10:22SPEAKER_16: Einar.
- 2:10:22SPEAKER_16: Drax's body falls limp, gray, cold.
- 2:10:27SPEAKER_16: And the weight of him as Mr.
- 2:10:31SPEAKER_16: Drax's soul leaves his body.
- 2:10:34SPEAKER_16: Blood is now slowly ebbing from every orifice in his face, and his fingers are curled backwards almost to the point of breaking off.
- 2:10:44SPEAKER_16: And then it relaxes.
- 2:10:51SPEAKER_19: No, no, no, no.
- 2:10:53SPEAKER_19: Diamond, Droken, a diamond, as I start just rocking back and forth with him.
- 2:11:02SPEAKER_16: Drax.
- 2:11:04SPEAKER_16: Your ability to trade back consciousness with your body, you can now feel that because because you know that that's a connection, you can feel that that connection is severed.
- 2:11:18SPEAKER_16: So you know, however, being that you gave yourself your own life force, you do not disappear.
- 2:11:28SPEAKER_16: You are still, echo Mr.
- 2:11:31SPEAKER_16: Drax, but Drax in his body, but you have 10 hit points.
- 2:11:37SPEAKER_16: Oh no.
- 2:11:39SPEAKER_16: But you are alive.
- 2:11:42SPEAKER_16: But you are in silvery mood.
- 2:11:44SPEAKER_16: Alright.
- 2:11:45SPEAKER_11: We're never getting to the street.
- 2:11:50SPEAKER_03: Uh I tell the wizard Is there a wizard on our end?
- 2:11:53SPEAKER_16: Yeah, there's the wizard is with you.
- 2:11:55SPEAKER_16: The wizard that was in the war tent briefing Delphine and them is there.
- 2:12:00SPEAKER_16: Okay.
- 2:12:02SPEAKER_03: I tell the wizard that I have to get back to the dwarven stronghold immediately.
- 2:12:12SPEAKER_03: Something grave has occurred.
- 2:12:14SPEAKER_16: And he he looks at you and he's like, Why tell me what has happened?
- 2:12:20SPEAKER_03: How do you know you've only just got here?
- 2:12:22SPEAKER_03: One of my comrades has died.
- 2:12:26SPEAKER_03: What?
- 2:12:27SPEAKER_03: I know this.
- 2:12:28SPEAKER_03: We've only been here for 30 seconds.
- 2:12:33SPEAKER_03: I have received a standing.
- 2:12:36SPEAKER_03: I know without a doubt, one of my comrades just fallen.
- 2:12:42SPEAKER_03: We have I have to get back.
- 2:12:44SPEAKER_16: Well, I mean, I've got enough to get us back, but I've only got enough to open the portal one more time to go back.
- 2:12:52SPEAKER_16: I'll send you back, I promise, but we've got to do what we came here to do first, and then we'll bring you back.
- 2:12:59SPEAKER_16: Otherwise, if I just send you alone, I've got to send everyone else back.
- 2:13:03SPEAKER_16: Otherwise, we're not coming home.
- 2:13:05SPEAKER_16: We'll jump back over.
- 2:13:06SPEAKER_16: So you guys are watching there as Einar is just shocked.
- 2:13:12SPEAKER_16: He just watched his brother collapse into the snow, blood, orphous, every orifice coming out of it, and he's just and he shook and he it was a terrifying scene.
- 2:13:23SPEAKER_16: And a crowd is now kind of gathered around.
- 2:13:26SPEAKER_16: Einar wouldn't want to do.
- 2:13:28SPEAKER_16: Continue to freak out.
- 2:13:30SPEAKER_13: I'm gonna hold Einar and try and calm him as best I can without actually.
- 2:13:35SPEAKER_13: I'm just I'm gonna let him freak out.
- 2:13:36SPEAKER_13: I'm just gonna hold him.
- 2:13:38SPEAKER_21: I'm gonna just sort of go over to uh Delphine and just sort of ask her quietly, can you try him one more time?
- 2:13:47SPEAKER_11: I'll just nod and kind of wipe the blood off my lips in a very delicate, dainty manner.
- 2:13:53SPEAKER_11: Because I just kissed a corpse.
- 2:13:55SPEAKER_11: You didn't kiss him anymore.
- 2:13:56SPEAKER_11: He wasn't a corpse yet.
- 2:13:57SPEAKER_11: He was he was in the process.
- 2:13:59SPEAKER_11: In the process of corpse even.
- 2:14:02SPEAKER_11: I will just sort of like put your hands around your chest and I'm gonna try another sending.
- 2:14:06SPEAKER_11: Because I don't know.
- 2:14:08SPEAKER_11: And it's just gonna be Drax, are you there?
- 2:14:11SPEAKER_11: Can you hear us?
- 2:14:13SPEAKER_05: Are you are you able to come back?
- 2:14:18SPEAKER_16: So you do receive that.
- 2:14:20SPEAKER_16: So while your soul is in the body of Mr.
- 2:14:24SPEAKER_16: Drax, I'm gonna allow you to be a creature.
- 2:14:28SPEAKER_16: So you can be targeted, you can get spells, you can get healed, all that kind of stuff.
- 2:14:32SPEAKER_16: But your maximum points is ten.
- 2:14:34SPEAKER_16: Your maximum points is what you gave to Mr.
- 2:14:36SPEAKER_16: Drax at that point.
- 2:14:36SPEAKER_16: But yeah, so you get that sending, you get that message.
- 2:14:39SPEAKER_16: Okay, I get the message.
- 2:14:40SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
- 2:14:40SPEAKER_03: And I can respond.
- 2:14:42SPEAKER_09: You can respond.
- 2:14:45SPEAKER_03: I'm trapped.
- 2:14:49SPEAKER_03: In my echo.
- 2:14:53SPEAKER_03: I'm afraid.
- 2:14:56SPEAKER_08: It's hard when you have to count them, isn't it?
- 2:15:00SPEAKER_12: I always pre-rate my note.
- 2:15:03SPEAKER_03: I can't get back until the dwarves complete their mission.
- 2:15:11SPEAKER_11: He says he's trapped.
- 2:15:13SPEAKER_11: The dwarves can't send him back until they complete his mission, but he's in his echo.
- 2:15:17SPEAKER_03: Can you open portals?
- 2:15:19SPEAKER_21: He might be around your side.
- 2:15:20SPEAKER_21: Oh yeah, he might be alive.
- 2:15:22SPEAKER_21: His brain's alive.
- 2:15:23SPEAKER_21: She just said Brain's alive.
- 2:15:25SPEAKER_11: Yeah, he's responding.
- 2:15:26SPEAKER_11: He's in his echo.
- 2:15:28SPEAKER_11: The um just for funsies, she was actually scratching her ears while she was receiving that.
- 2:15:33SPEAKER_11: Let's just say sending is you a tears.
- 2:15:35SPEAKER_11: Um, he's they can't send it back.
- 2:15:41SPEAKER_11: Um, I have the ink now.
- 2:15:42SPEAKER_11: We have a teleportation circle dedicated to that circle.
- 2:15:47SPEAKER_11: Right?
- 2:15:48SPEAKER_11: That the one in the temple has a permanent circle that would go to that other circle.
- 2:15:56SPEAKER_11: Are they connected to each other?
- 2:15:59SPEAKER_16: So the the way teleportation circles work is you can use the teleportation circle that you are at, but you have to know the teleportation circle you are going to.
- 2:16:11SPEAKER_16: So you do know one though.
- 2:16:13SPEAKER_11: Yeah, at my house.
- 2:16:15SPEAKER_11: That's not helpful right now.
- 2:16:17SPEAKER_11: We have a dragon.
- 2:16:19SPEAKER_11: Do any of the wizards in there?
- 2:16:21SPEAKER_11: There are other wizards in this town still.
- 2:16:23SPEAKER_07: Do any of them know the circle of the destination that uh the others went to?
- 2:16:30SPEAKER_16: There is only one person left.
- 2:16:33SPEAKER_13: Fuck all of them.
- 2:16:34SPEAKER_13: There was a woman wizard.
- 2:16:35SPEAKER_16: There is only one person left in that town.
- 2:16:39SPEAKER_11: Is it the cranky lady?
- 2:16:40SPEAKER_11: Is it her?
- 2:16:43SPEAKER_11: She likes money.
- 2:16:45SPEAKER_11: Okay, okay.
- 2:16:46SPEAKER_11: This is gonna cost us a lot more money than we want.
- 2:16:50SPEAKER_12: Yeah, right it is.
- 2:16:51SPEAKER_11: Let's give her the staff out of his bag.
- 2:16:55SPEAKER_11: What can we loot from the bag of holding to bribe her?
- 2:16:58SPEAKER_11: By the way, I take the bag of holding because I told you I was gonna do that.
- 2:17:01SPEAKER_11: And I put it on my belt.
- 2:17:03SPEAKER_11: We're holding the body.
- 2:17:04SPEAKER_11: Well, I'm coming.
- 2:17:06SPEAKER_11: I took it off of his body.
- 2:17:08SPEAKER_11: But at the same time, if I know I'm going to see her and I don't hold it.
- 2:17:12SPEAKER_11: Yeah, I'm gonna give it to you.
- 2:17:13SPEAKER_11: You're the next person I trust.
- 2:17:16SPEAKER_11: Do we need to?
- 2:17:16SPEAKER_20: Yeah, but it's high up.
- 2:17:17SPEAKER_20: She can't reach it.
- 2:17:18SPEAKER_11: Stick it.
- 2:17:19SPEAKER_20: It's a plug in your area up here.
- 2:17:21SPEAKER_20: Stick it.
- 2:17:22SPEAKER_11: Do we need to gentle repose him?
- 2:17:23SPEAKER_11: Yes.
- 2:17:24SPEAKER_20: I don't have gentle repose.
- 2:17:26SPEAKER_11: You do.
- 2:17:28SPEAKER_11: Okay, isn't that what the rose?
- 2:17:31SPEAKER_11: Is that what the oil does?
- 2:17:32SPEAKER_11: I am going to apply the rose oil that I was just given.
- 2:17:37SPEAKER_11: That's what the rose oil does.
- 2:17:40SPEAKER_16: You did it to me, and I knew that.
- 2:17:42SPEAKER_10: What a bad wasting your scroll.
- 2:17:44SPEAKER_10: No, I'm not wasting the scroll.
- 2:17:47SPEAKER_10: Oh good.
- 2:17:48SPEAKER_02: Dirac would not consider this a waste.
- 2:17:50SPEAKER_02: Well, no, no, no, no.
- 2:17:51SPEAKER_02: I mean like instead of being able to describe the scroll.
- 2:17:55SPEAKER_11: This was supposed to be a shopping episode.
- 2:17:58SPEAKER_19: As she's applying the oil, I put my hand on hers and she's doing it and just what are you doing?
- 2:18:03SPEAKER_19: What's this?
- 2:18:04SPEAKER_11: Um, this this oil is going to uh help keep him with us a little bit longer just so that he can come back to us, I hope.
- 2:18:12SPEAKER_11: For a sniffle, I say things.
- 2:18:13SPEAKER_11: And and I'm just I'm applying it gently around his face and down his chest and on his arms and hands.
- 2:18:19SPEAKER_11: Anywhere that I can reach, I'm just I'm just smearing this oil on him.
- 2:18:23SPEAKER_16: Alright.
- 2:18:24SPEAKER_16: So you take this oil out, it's very aromatic.
- 2:18:28SPEAKER_16: Very lovely smelling oil, but your hands are shaking as you do it.
- 2:18:32SPEAKER_16: When you're rubbing it all over his his face and his and his arms, and you're trying to get as much of it on his skin as you possibly can.
- 2:18:38SPEAKER_16: Yes.
- 2:18:38SPEAKER_16: And you get it, and it's in his hair, and you're running your hands through his hair, and you can feel like the cracks in his skin where his head has expanded from this massive head trauma has like split his skull, and you can feel the crevices in the back, and it's matted with blood.
- 2:18:58SPEAKER_16: And you come back out and your your hands you're covered in rose oil, but also covered now in Drax's blood.
- 2:19:04SPEAKER_11: I'm okay with that.
- 2:19:05SPEAKER_11: Blood and dead people don't bother me.
- 2:19:07SPEAKER_11: Dead Drax bothers me.
- 2:19:09SPEAKER_16: Drax's blood.
- 2:19:10SPEAKER_11: Uh I'm okay with Drax's blood.
- 2:19:12SPEAKER_11: He's the only one I've ever fed on.
- 2:19:15SPEAKER_11: I am not gonna lick it.
- 2:19:17SPEAKER_16: Even though you're for and you're like, oh, but Drax's blood with rose oil might taste amazing.
- 2:19:21SPEAKER_11: It probably would.
- 2:19:23SPEAKER_11: However, this is blood that needs to be honored, not fed on uh currently.
- 2:19:29SPEAKER_11: Um I will I will actually wipe a little bit on my cheek as I try and uh honor him a bit.
- 2:19:36SPEAKER_16: Okay, so you do that, and for all intents and purposes, I think the what does it say, the gentle repose?
- 2:19:45SPEAKER_16: Yep.
- 2:19:46SPEAKER_16: They have the same effects.
- 2:19:47SPEAKER_16: The body will last for up to ten days, but you must reanoint it every 24 hours.
- 2:19:52SPEAKER_16: Yes.
- 2:19:53SPEAKER_16: So Mr.
- 2:19:53SPEAKER_16: Trax has gotta get back here within 24 hours, or you're gonna have to make yourself rose oil.
- 2:20:01SPEAKER_20: But I can actually go to sleep and take that spell.
- 2:20:03SPEAKER_20: So there you go.
- 2:20:06SPEAKER_21: Oh, can you keep casting it?
- 2:20:08SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 2:20:08SPEAKER_16: He can, he can.
- 2:20:09SPEAKER_16: Because he's a cleric, he can change his spells when he can.
- 2:20:11SPEAKER_16: I should change my spell.
- 2:20:12SPEAKER_13: So the gentle repose spell can last for 10 days, but my rose oil only lasts for one day.
- 2:20:18SPEAKER_20: So we're okay.
- 2:20:18SPEAKER_20: We can if we can do it in a day.
- 2:20:21SPEAKER_20: I got it.
- 2:20:21SPEAKER_20: What do you guys want to do with him?
- 2:20:22SPEAKER_20: I'm cleaning him up.
- 2:20:23SPEAKER_20: Um as much as I can.
- 2:20:26SPEAKER_11: You're not taking that fucking oil off of him.
- 2:20:27SPEAKER_11: Oh, you're right, you can't.
- 2:20:28SPEAKER_05: I just casually smack his hands.
- 2:20:30SPEAKER_19: I was gonna explain the blood in my shit.
- 2:20:33SPEAKER_19: I was gonna totally be like, oh, you took it off.
- 2:20:35SPEAKER_20: Um I think we should walk him to the temple where the uh top portion circle is.
- 2:20:40SPEAKER_20: You're gonna go talk to that old lady.
- 2:20:42SPEAKER_20: Oh my god.
- 2:20:43SPEAKER_20: I know.
- 2:20:44SPEAKER_20: And we're gonna see if we get all sent back there.
- 2:20:49SPEAKER_20: Well, how long is that?
- 2:20:50SPEAKER_20: They're only supposed to be there for a short period of time.
- 2:20:52SPEAKER_20: Yeah, I really don't care for how long I'm gonna be there for.
- 2:20:55SPEAKER_20: If they're there for ten minutes or ten days.
- 2:20:57SPEAKER_20: Sure.
- 2:20:58SPEAKER_20: If we could get there right now, and we'll get there right now.
- 2:21:00SPEAKER_20: That's true.
- 2:21:01SPEAKER_20: Look at my brother.
- 2:21:03SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 2:21:03SPEAKER_19: I'll pick him up.
- 2:21:07SPEAKER_19: As I'm walking towards the temple with him, I'm just muttering myself, not you two.
- 2:21:11SPEAKER_19: Not you two.
- 2:21:16SPEAKER_16: There's a yeah, the crowd is kind of gathered around, like, and they're trying to help you get, but like the pathway opens up and clears as you watch as Einar just with the strength of only a grieving brother has, stands unabetted, and just walks in a straight line towards the temple.
- 2:21:36SPEAKER_16: The crowd parts for him as his head is hanging as he's carrying his brother.
- 2:21:40SPEAKER_16: You get up to the uh temple, and yeah, so then the door opens in the temple in there, as you can see.
- 2:21:45SPEAKER_16: The teleportation circles kind of it's not on the altar, but it's like off to the side, uh, kind of protected.
- 2:21:52SPEAKER_16: And there's pews everywhere, and there's a table.
- 2:21:54SPEAKER_16: You can move a table if you want to do whatever you like to make him comfortable.
- 2:21:58SPEAKER_19: Take him over to a table near the teleportation circle and just place him on it.
- 2:22:03SPEAKER_19: Move it close and just wait.
- 2:22:05SPEAKER_16: Drex.
- 2:22:08SPEAKER_16: By now, I'm assuming you had time to explain a little bit more about your situation, or are you keeping that quiet?
- 2:22:14SPEAKER_03: It's basically inferring that a party member has died.
- 2:22:20SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 2:22:22SPEAKER_03: Well, a party member.
- 2:22:24SPEAKER_16: Alright.
- 2:22:24SPEAKER_16: I'm not gonna make you roll for that because technically that's true.
- 2:22:29SPEAKER_16: So, the uh Roric says to you, he's like, Alright, listen, I know you're hurting, but your party has sent you here with us for that reason.
- 2:22:40SPEAKER_16: Now we are going to find out everything we can about this.
- 2:22:44SPEAKER_01: And we are going to get the fuck out of here as fast as we can.
- 2:22:48SPEAKER_01: Are you okay with that?
- 2:22:51SPEAKER_16: How fast is fast?
- 2:22:53SPEAKER_16: Well, we've gotta get to that city.
- 2:22:57SPEAKER_16: We've got to find out what we can and get back.
- 2:23:00SPEAKER_16: We've got less than a day.
- 2:23:10SPEAKER_03: My understanding is that my party's gonna try to open the portal from their end, and I'd like to stay at the portal.
- 2:23:20SPEAKER_16: Um, I cannot force you to come with us.
- 2:23:23SPEAKER_16: If I leave you here, though, you're unprotected.
- 2:23:27SPEAKER_16: The choice is yours, son.
- 2:23:29SPEAKER_16: I have never seen him think this much.
- 2:23:32SPEAKER_16: Right?
- 2:23:34SPEAKER_11: The wheels are turning.
- 2:23:37SPEAKER_03: The Venn diagram is literally got tissue paper.
- 2:23:42SPEAKER_11: Welcome to a wizard!
- 2:23:45SPEAKER_16: It's just so nice to be on the other end of the tomfoolery when it comes to him.
- 2:23:51SPEAKER_03: I think I'm gonna I think I'd wait at the portal.
- 2:23:54SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 2:23:55SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 2:23:56SPEAKER_03: I can't.
- 2:23:57SPEAKER_03: Like a single stray arrow, I die.
- 2:24:00SPEAKER_16: Yeah, single stray arrow or an owlbear.
- 2:24:05SPEAKER_10: No more or other area spelled a rock.
- 2:24:10SPEAKER_16: What squat to take a leak and a snake bites you on the scroll?
- 2:24:14SPEAKER_16: Like that one's pretty detailed and specific.
- 2:24:18SPEAKER_11: Welcome to the life of a level two wizard.
- 2:24:22SPEAKER_03: Are you gonna stay?
- 2:24:23SPEAKER_03: I think I'm gonna stay, because we're in a we're in a dwarven cave that they obviously trust.
- 2:24:29SPEAKER_16: Yeah, there is so there's a chapel that's carved into the side of the hill.
- 2:24:31SPEAKER_16: Yeah, so it's and and it does lead into a mine.
- 2:24:35SPEAKER_03: Yeah, okay, well, yeah, I'm not gonna venture forth into the mine.
- 2:24:39SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 2:24:39SPEAKER_16: Yeah, yeah.
- 2:24:40SPEAKER_16: Yeah, for sure.
- 2:24:41SPEAKER_16: Okay, cool.
- 2:24:42SPEAKER_16: So Roar just kind of understands what you're saying.
- 2:24:44SPEAKER_16: He's like he's confused, obviously, because the whole story is not laid upon him.
- 2:24:50SPEAKER_16: But like it's a uh I mean obviously you can handle yourself.
- 2:24:55SPEAKER_16: Uh but if you I guess perhaps if you require us or whatnot, he's like, uh, come here.
- 2:25:04SPEAKER_16: And he waves to one of his soldiers, and the soldier comes over and he goes, Give me that.
- 2:25:07SPEAKER_16: He takes a horn.
- 2:25:09SPEAKER_16: And he goes, blow on this three times.
- 2:25:12SPEAKER_01: And if you need us, we'll try and get back to you.
- 2:25:16SPEAKER_03: Take the horn.
- 2:25:17SPEAKER_01: Beware, we're not gonna be the only ones to hear it.
- 2:25:22SPEAKER_03: I uh graciously accept.
- 2:25:25SPEAKER_16: Okay.
- 2:25:26SPEAKER_16: So then he turns and he goes, uh, alright.
- 2:25:31SPEAKER_16: We've got a limited time here.
- 2:25:34SPEAKER_16: Let's move out! Find what we can and get back here so we can bring our friend back to his mates.
- 2:25:41SPEAKER_16: And he watches the dwarves turn and they march off downhill.
- 2:25:49SPEAKER_16: And the uh the forest goes quiet, and as the dwarves gain distance on you, the sound of the birds and the animals slowly start to return.
- 2:26:06SPEAKER_16: rustles the trees around.
- 2:26:08SPEAKER_16: You are alone.
- 2:26:10SPEAKER_16: On the other side of the continent.
- 2:26:12SPEAKER_03: Is there being in a chapel?
- 2:26:15SPEAKER_03: I'm assuming there's doors that I can shut.
- 2:26:17SPEAKER_03: There are barricade.
- 2:26:19SPEAKER_16: Yep, uh, yeah, you could do that.
- 2:26:20SPEAKER_16: 100%.
- 2:26:21SPEAKER_03: I will.
- 2:26:22SPEAKER_03: That's what I'll spend my time doing.
- 2:26:25SPEAKER_08: Carefully, don't drop anything on you.
- 2:26:28SPEAKER_08: Trip.
- 2:26:29SPEAKER_20: We need an athletic check on that work.
- 2:26:31SPEAKER_20: But I didn't put one hit point into them.
- 2:26:35SPEAKER_20: That's adorable.
- 2:26:36SPEAKER_16: Uh okay, so we will jump back over to you guys.
- 2:26:40SPEAKER_16: Racks is set up on this table.
- 2:26:44SPEAKER_13: And I can run for the wizard.
- 2:26:49SPEAKER_13: Bribe her with whatever the fuck you need to do.
- 2:26:52SPEAKER_11: I'm gonna run to the wizard.
- 2:26:53SPEAKER_11: I'm gonna run to the wizard.
- 2:26:55SPEAKER_16: You watch as Delphine figures out what she's gotta do.
- 2:26:58SPEAKER_16: She spins on her heels and she takes off towards the arcane shop, and we are gonna take a short break.
- 2:27:07SPEAKER_21: Dissonant Whispers, we'll be right back.
- 2:27:09SPEAKER_21: Stay tuned and enjoy the show.
- 2:27:14SPEAKER_16: So, Delphine, you stomp off in the snow at a full speed pace run to get back to the arcane shop.
- 2:27:22SPEAKER_09: Before I go in, I'm just gonna pause and be like, okay, okay.
- 2:27:26SPEAKER_09: Don't look panicked.
- 2:27:28SPEAKER_09: Oh, just walk in.
- 2:27:30SPEAKER_16: And you're just gonna walk in.
- 2:27:33SPEAKER_16: Okay.
- 2:27:35SPEAKER_16: The door opens and inside you see your girl, Borick.
- 2:27:44SPEAKER_16: And she's hunched over and she's just looking at something.
- 2:27:49SPEAKER_16: She's like, Yeah, I told you not to come back here, I'll let you fuck off.
- 2:27:54SPEAKER_11: I know, but I just thought that you just really impressed me with your knowledge earlier, and I wanted to ask if there's any service you could provide me.
- 2:28:03SPEAKER_11: For payment, of course.
- 2:28:04SPEAKER_18: Oh, I mean, uh, in the market to make a little extra.
- 2:28:11SPEAKER_00: What will I do with it?
- 2:28:13SPEAKER_00: What's in your mind?
- 2:28:22SPEAKER_11: Just blatantly ignore the hawking.
- 2:28:24SPEAKER_11: I'm like, nope, not phased.
- 2:28:28SPEAKER_11: Well, you know, the king sent a force through the circle.
- 2:28:33SPEAKER_11: The teleportation circle in the temple.
- 2:28:36SPEAKER_11: A friend of ours went through it, and he left something behind that is vitally important to the mission, and you're the only one here as knowledgeable and powerful enough to get us to that circle that the dwarves went through to Silvery Moon.
- 2:28:56SPEAKER_00: You want me to open that circle for you?
- 2:29:02SPEAKER_00: Just for a moment.
- 2:29:03SPEAKER_00: Well, how am I going to do that?
- 2:29:06SPEAKER_06: We have sold you already.
- 2:29:08SPEAKER_06: Well, of course, I'm gonna provide it to you, the consumable, as well as payment for your service.
- 2:29:23SPEAKER_00: For my uh unique qualifications.
- 2:29:29SPEAKER_11: Well, I can tell that you are, of course, incredibly skilled.
- 2:29:37SPEAKER_16: Persuasion check.
- 2:29:40SPEAKER_11: She is incredibly skilled.
- 2:29:42SPEAKER_11: Clearly, she's the only other person in this town who can do it.
- 2:29:46SPEAKER_00: Fourteen.
- 2:29:47SPEAKER_00: Fourteen?
- 2:29:51SPEAKER_00: You know, you do tickle the right feather.
- 2:29:56SPEAKER_18: And I am the best.
- 2:30:00SPEAKER_06: You really should have been the one they asked to go.
- 2:30:02SPEAKER_06: I do it!
- 2:30:04SPEAKER_00: You know how much walking that would have been.
- 2:30:06SPEAKER_11: Oh, that's true.
- 2:30:08SPEAKER_11: You've better use for your time, right?
- 2:30:11SPEAKER_00: You ask it too much of me, girly.
- 2:30:14SPEAKER_15: Well, okay.
- 2:30:16SPEAKER_15: For price.
- 2:30:17SPEAKER_15: For price.
- 2:30:18SPEAKER_15: I mean, a hefty price.
- 2:30:21SPEAKER_11: Well, I wondered um what kind of a payment you would be interested in, because I do have an item you may want.
- 2:30:30unknown: Well.
- 2:30:32SPEAKER_11: And I'm gonna pull out the ember staff that we got from the pyromancer.
- 2:30:37SPEAKER_00: Well, that's very lovely.
- 2:30:38SPEAKER_00: Very lovely.
- 2:30:39SPEAKER_00: Well, the problem is this.
- 2:30:43SPEAKER_00: I have an outstanding debt in taxes to the city of Winterfold.
- 2:30:54SPEAKER_00: If you could erase that debt, yeah, they might do your little tricks for you.
- 2:31:00SPEAKER_11: I can't believe that they would tax a fine upstanding citizen such as yourself.
- 2:31:05SPEAKER_18: I know! With all the services I do.
- 2:31:08SPEAKER_11: Right?
- 2:31:09SPEAKER_11: It's just appalling, really.
- 2:31:12SPEAKER_15: After 40 years I should have paid my taxes at least once.
- 2:31:16SPEAKER_11: Um maybe as a show of grace, but Hamash is it.
- 2:31:29SPEAKER_17: You'll have to talk to the king for that.
- 2:31:32SPEAKER_17: He knows the final number.
- 2:31:34SPEAKER_11: While it is kind of a time-sensitive thing we're dealing with, could I get you to start setting up while I go talk to the king?
- 2:31:42SPEAKER_17: Uh no, I don't think so.
- 2:31:44SPEAKER_11: And leave you the staff as a token of goodwill.
- 2:31:47SPEAKER_17: What am I gonna do that stuff?
- 2:31:48SPEAKER_11: I don't know, sell it.
- 2:31:49SPEAKER_11: This is a magic shop.
- 2:31:49SPEAKER_11: What am I gonna sell it to?
- 2:31:51SPEAKER_17: Some other arcane shop here.
- 2:31:53SPEAKER_11: Sell it to some other fool who comes through.
- 2:31:57SPEAKER_11: I don't know.
- 2:31:58SPEAKER_05: If we succeed with the dragon, you're gonna get much more business.
- 2:32:02SPEAKER_11: Who knows what comes through?
- 2:32:03SPEAKER_17: Well, fine, I'll tell you what, you leave the staff here, and uh, you go talk to the king.
- 2:32:07SPEAKER_00: And uh, if he does agree to uh, you know, expunge my debt, I'll do your tricks for you again.
- 2:32:16SPEAKER_11: Could you start walking to the temple?
- 2:32:18SPEAKER_11: Because by the time I'm done with the king, we can meet there.
- 2:32:20SPEAKER_11: You'll probably get there by the time I come back.
- 2:32:23SPEAKER_00: Ah, I'm not the one to uh start my services until I've been paid.
- 2:32:29SPEAKER_06: You and you know how to do it.
- 2:32:32SPEAKER_00: You with your nimble fingers and your little coin that you have there that I very much like.
- 2:32:38SPEAKER_11: Hmm.
- 2:32:40SPEAKER_11: Very shiny coin.
- 2:32:41SPEAKER_11: Alright, I will speak to this majesty.
- 2:32:45SPEAKER_00: Maybe I'll have a look at that coin again.
- 2:32:48SPEAKER_11: Oh, unfortunately, I've misplaced it.
- 2:32:53SPEAKER_00: I like you.
- 2:33:00SPEAKER_11: It's really unfortunate your sister's not kind enough to make you anything for that.
- 2:33:04SPEAKER_11: That's very rude of her.
- 2:33:05SPEAKER_18: I think she's the one who gave the sister.
- 2:33:07SPEAKER_11: Oh, I wouldn't put it past her.
- 2:33:09SPEAKER_11: We went there.
- 2:33:10SPEAKER_11: Very shifty.
- 2:33:11SPEAKER_11: I don't even notice she doesn't wear shoes.
- 2:33:13SPEAKER_11: Oh, that's so weird.
- 2:33:14SPEAKER_11: It's so cold out.
- 2:33:15SPEAKER_11: Alright, I can go to the king.
- 2:33:17SPEAKER_11: Oh my god.
- 2:33:18SPEAKER_11: Okay, we need you.
- 2:33:20SPEAKER_11: So you run back and get me?
- 2:33:22SPEAKER_11: Yes.
- 2:33:22SPEAKER_11: I'm gonna run back, fill you guys in, and be like, I need to find out what her tax bill is before she'll come help us.
- 2:33:31SPEAKER_14: Great.
- 2:33:34SPEAKER_11: Okay.
- 2:33:35SPEAKER_11: Ah, fuck.
- 2:33:37SPEAKER_11: I know I will be right back.
- 2:33:39SPEAKER_11: We are doing this for your brother.
- 2:33:42SPEAKER_11: And then I run.
- 2:33:43SPEAKER_11: Grab your hand, run.
- 2:33:46SPEAKER_11: Unless anyone else wanted to come as well.
- 2:33:48SPEAKER_20: I will stay there for now.
- 2:33:50SPEAKER_11: Okay, okay.
- 2:33:53SPEAKER_19: No, I'm not leaving my brother.
- 2:33:55SPEAKER_19: He thinks about it looking at her.
- 2:33:57SPEAKER_19: You are not.
- 2:33:58SPEAKER_19: Looks at them, watches them go.
- 2:34:00SPEAKER_19: And then goes and sits down on a pew nearby, just sinking his hands and his head into his hands.
- 2:34:09SPEAKER_19: Okay.
- 2:34:10SPEAKER_21: Just starting to think.
- 2:34:11SPEAKER_21: I I'm gonna ask Driven if we just need to go talk to that shopkeeper.
- 2:34:14SPEAKER_21: Like, this is for someone's life, did she not?
- 2:34:16SPEAKER_09: Don't interfere.
- 2:34:19SPEAKER_21: Gonna make a liar.
- 2:34:21SPEAKER_20: Let the girls do their thing.
- 2:34:22SPEAKER_20: Okay.
- 2:34:23SPEAKER_16: Gonna make a liar out of Delphine.
- 2:34:25SPEAKER_16: So you run over to the war tent with Bullyander and who else?
- 2:34:30SPEAKER_13: Just a sling and okay.
- 2:34:32SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
- 2:34:33SPEAKER_16: You get there and the guards are there, and the one guard's like, look, I kinda let you in this time again.
- 2:34:39SPEAKER_16: I got in so much trouble last time.
- 2:34:43SPEAKER_07: Trust me, this is vital.
- 2:34:45SPEAKER_07: This is life or death.
- 2:34:47SPEAKER_15: No, you said that last time.
- 2:34:48SPEAKER_15: The last time I went, and it got in the oh damn near lose my post.
- 2:34:53SPEAKER_11: I am so sorry.
- 2:34:54SPEAKER_11: And then I just push past him.
- 2:34:57SPEAKER_17: Oh no.
- 2:35:01SPEAKER_16: And uh you go in and you throw the curtain aside, and the king is in like mid-conversation with his with his uh generals without Rourke.
- 2:35:11SPEAKER_08: And uh they're talking about you know Is is his second in there?
- 2:35:14SPEAKER_08: Second in command lady?
- 2:35:16SPEAKER_16: Bridgia?
- 2:35:16SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 2:35:17SPEAKER_16: She is not.
- 2:35:18SPEAKER_16: Okay, no.
- 2:35:19unknown: Okay.
- 2:35:20SPEAKER_11: Oh go ahead.
- 2:35:22SPEAKER_11: Sorry.
- 2:35:22SPEAKER_11: We I I just, you know, do a really quick curtsy, trying to look as respectful as possible.
- 2:35:29SPEAKER_11: I know that we are intruding and this is highly disrespectful, but one of our men has just died and we desperately need your aid.
- 2:35:38SPEAKER_16: Uh oh oh, but I've got healers for that, so I'll send them your way.
- 2:35:42SPEAKER_11: No, we need we need to open the portal to where your men have gone in Silvery Moon.
- 2:35:50SPEAKER_11: We uh I believe that the only person that can open this is your wizard Borhild or whatever her name is.
- 2:35:59SPEAKER_16: Bor uh I don't know.
- 2:36:01SPEAKER_11: The grumpy one.
- 2:36:03SPEAKER_16: Borick?
- 2:36:04SPEAKER_11: Sure, yeah.
- 2:36:05SPEAKER_16: Do you think that I'm gonna let Borick perform her skills in the inside Winter Forge again?
- 2:36:14SPEAKER_11: Oh, unless you know of someone else who can do it for us.
- 2:36:16SPEAKER_16: The only one other than the wizard that we've sent.
- 2:36:19SPEAKER_11: Do you have a better idea?
- 2:36:20SPEAKER_11: We need someone to open that portal immediately.
- 2:36:23SPEAKER_00: Please.
- 2:36:23SPEAKER_00: I understand your haste.
- 2:36:25SPEAKER_00: The portal will be opened again.
- 2:36:28SPEAKER_11: Our friend won't be able to be resurrected, I feel like.
- 2:36:30SPEAKER_11: It might endanger the mission of Silvery Moon as well.
- 2:36:33SPEAKER_00: If you need someone resurrected, I've got to be able to do that.
- 2:36:35SPEAKER_11: No, we see it.
- 2:36:36SPEAKER_11: It might endanger the Silvery Moon mission as well.
- 2:36:40SPEAKER_11: What has happened?
- 2:36:44SPEAKER_11: Should we just just Okay, so our friend is split into two people, and half of him has just died, and it is very complicated magic.
- 2:36:56SPEAKER_11: We don't quite understand it either, but we his soul is trapped on the other side.
- 2:37:02SPEAKER_11: On the other side, and we cannot bring him back without opening the portal.
- 2:37:08SPEAKER_11: All I need either if I can have the sigil for where they went, or if she can have her tax bill taken care of in some manner.
- 2:37:22SPEAKER_01: But I don't know what that-tell her that that was an option.
- 2:37:26SPEAKER_08: No, she uh she she offered that as an option.
- 2:37:31SPEAKER_15: Oh my.
- 2:37:32SPEAKER_15: Well, let me put this in perspective for you, okay?
- 2:37:38SPEAKER_15: For a small establishment, tiny taxes per year, uh roughly eight uh eighty to a hundred gold per year.
- 2:37:50SPEAKER_16: I mean she's been there for what?
- 2:37:52SPEAKER_16: Mm-hmm.
- 2:37:52SPEAKER_16: 40.
- 2:37:53SPEAKER_16: Yeah, 40.
- 2:37:54SPEAKER_16: Like, we're talking I'm getting an estimate 250 gold a year for 40 years.
- 2:38:00SPEAKER_16: You expect me to just expunge that?
- 2:38:04SPEAKER_17: Do you know what she owes?
- 2:38:10SPEAKER_11: Do you have a better suggestion of um convincing her to cooperate?
- 2:38:17SPEAKER_01: I mean I could I could force her, I can order her if you want, but like do you want me to do that?
- 2:38:25SPEAKER_13: I am willing to do just about anything to get my friend back.
- 2:38:32SPEAKER_13: We need him to take care of your dragon as well.
- 2:38:37SPEAKER_15: This is a good one.
- 2:38:38SPEAKER_15: I mean, I can uh I mean that's a I can't uh excuse that debt.
- 2:38:44SPEAKER_16: But I mean I could I could try and force her.
- 2:38:47SPEAKER_16: I don't know how that's gonna go.
- 2:38:49SPEAKER_16: I mean, how would like you you seem like capable if I tried to force you to do something?
- 2:38:55SPEAKER_09: I'm a loyal subject of my king who am very concerned for his safety.
- 2:38:59SPEAKER_17: I you are I would follow the order.
- 2:39:01SPEAKER_17: She's not paying her taxes in 40 odd years! The fucking witch.
- 2:39:07SPEAKER_11: If she doesn't pay 40 years, yeah, she's not paying now.
- 2:39:09SPEAKER_07: I mean I don't want to say the nah of the bad things that can happen to an old lady in a shop that doesn't cooperate and serve her king in a needed manner.
- 2:39:23SPEAKER_16: Oh, believe you me, I have found, in my experience, it's much easier to just let her be than to try and force her to do anything.
- 2:39:32SPEAKER_11: But if you ask me to, and you're not gonna pay her taxes anyway, she's not gonna pay them.
- 2:39:38SPEAKER_11: Then would you offer her amnesty from future taxes for this service?
- 2:39:46SPEAKER_07: If you know that she's not gonna pay regardless, you're not actually losing anything out of it.
- 2:39:52SPEAKER_07: Except maybe gaining an extra favor from her for yourself, maybe.
- 2:39:58SPEAKER_01: What what what favor am I getting?
- 2:40:00SPEAKER_11: Maybe you could include this in a future favor you she do this and payment.
- 2:40:06SPEAKER_11: Uh yes.
- 2:40:07SPEAKER_11: Favors for back payment um of taxes so that she doesn't actually have to part with any of her shiny gold.
- 2:40:14SPEAKER_16: So she's going to do my bidding.
- 2:40:19SPEAKER_16: If I expunge future taxes.
- 2:40:25SPEAKER_16: That's what she said.
- 2:40:26SPEAKER_13: No, we're wondering if that's an option that you think that she would go for.
- 2:40:30SPEAKER_01: I she'd have to be under my rule.
- 2:40:32SPEAKER_16: She would have to do as I ask.
- 2:40:34SPEAKER_16: And if I need her for certain things, she has to come through.
- 2:40:38SPEAKER_16: But I don't think I have that guarantee, and I don't think she's gonna stick to it, do you?
- 2:40:44SPEAKER_13: But do you think that you have any option of ever getting any taxes out of her, period?
- 2:40:49SPEAKER_13: I don't think so.
- 2:40:51SPEAKER_01: So then she's gonna die in that house.
- 2:40:53SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 2:40:53SPEAKER_13: So then you get a possibility scenario to be honest.
- 2:40:56unknown: Yeah.
- 2:40:57SPEAKER_07: I can arrange that too.
- 2:40:59SPEAKER_16: Kill her?
- 2:41:00SPEAKER_16: I don't want that.
- 2:41:01SPEAKER_16: I'm not murder.
- 2:41:06SPEAKER_16: So you're saying that she'll do it then.
- 2:41:08SPEAKER_16: I tell you what, if she comes here, she guarantees me, signs, her name, that she will be my loyal servant from here on to forever.
- 2:41:20SPEAKER_16: Doing my bidding when I ask.
- 2:41:22SPEAKER_15: Hey.
- 2:41:24SPEAKER_16: I'll excuse future.
- 2:41:26SPEAKER_16: But she still owes what she's missed.
- 2:41:33SPEAKER_11: Should we try it?
- 2:41:34SPEAKER_11: Let's try it.
- 2:41:34SPEAKER_13: Okay, we try it.
- 2:41:36SPEAKER_13: We're gonna try it.
- 2:41:39SPEAKER_13: You are a wise and wonderful king.
- 2:41:41SPEAKER_13: Thank you.
- 2:41:42SPEAKER_13: We will attempt.
- 2:41:43SPEAKER_01: Oh, all right.
- 2:41:44SPEAKER_01: And when you're on your way out, send that garden.
- 2:41:47SPEAKER_11: I'm sorry, I kicked him and he fell and I ran right by.
- 2:41:51SPEAKER_11: He tried very hard.
- 2:41:52SPEAKER_11: He just didn't want to accost a lady.
- 2:41:54SPEAKER_16: Send him in.
- 2:41:55SPEAKER_07: I will um just know that he's limping because of me.
- 2:41:59SPEAKER_16: Yes.
- 2:41:59SPEAKER_16: Yes.
- 2:42:00SPEAKER_16: So you guys leave.
- 2:42:00SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
- 2:42:01SPEAKER_07: We go out and I like limp.
- 2:42:03SPEAKER_13: And then I shove him inside.
- 2:42:05SPEAKER_16: Okay, he goes inside.
- 2:42:06SPEAKER_16: So as you guys run over to the shop, we're gonna flash back to Dracks.
- 2:42:09SPEAKER_16: So you're barricaded yourself into this temple, this kind of this like chapel, right?
- 2:42:14SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
- 2:42:14SPEAKER_16: So what it would explain to me, uh tell me about a little bit how it's barricaded.
- 2:42:17SPEAKER_16: What have you done?
- 2:42:18SPEAKER_03: Okay, so I'm assuming there is two doors.
- 2:42:22SPEAKER_03: And there's two large doors.
- 2:42:24SPEAKER_03: One that leads into a mining facility or it leads into something?
- 2:42:27SPEAKER_16: There's two large doors.
- 2:42:28SPEAKER_16: There's the two large doors at the front main entrance.
- 2:42:31SPEAKER_16: There are windows that have that are about you know 12 feet high that have been carved into the part of the chapel that is facing that is out of the mountain, but about halfway through the chapel then blends into the rock and becomes part of the mountain.
- 2:42:48SPEAKER_16: Almost like it was grown out of the mountain.
- 2:42:52SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 2:42:52SPEAKER_16: So there are four large stained glass windows that are there that you could jump through if you wanted to, like a person could jump through that window.
- 2:43:01SPEAKER_16: In the back, there is a large mine shaft door that's behind the altar.
- 2:43:07SPEAKER_16: And that door is just like a wooden door that's like partly open.
- 2:43:13SPEAKER_16: You can feel breezes.
- 2:43:15SPEAKER_16: It's an abandoned mine, it's not been used in year.
- 2:43:17SPEAKER_03: Okay, fair enough.
- 2:43:18SPEAKER_03: And the stained glass windows, they're look like fully stained glass, or nothing's broke or anything?
- 2:43:25SPEAKER_16: Nope, nothing's broke here, sealed inside.
- 2:43:27SPEAKER_16: It's very well crafted, this building.
- 2:43:29SPEAKER_03: Okay, and then with this well-crafted building, is anything look to be in disrepair?
- 2:43:36SPEAKER_16: Just the inside, like just uh dusty, uh, you know, a couple broken pews that haven't been used in a long time.
- 2:43:43SPEAKER_16: It's dusty tables, dusty.
- 2:43:45SPEAKER_03: Yeah, like it's okay, so so vacant for monsters and stuff doesn't appear to have ever been in it in recently.
- 2:43:52SPEAKER_16: I mean, other than the broken pews, it looks like something of like great heaviness like stomped on them and broke them.
- 2:43:57SPEAKER_16: But there's all dust and stuff in there.
- 2:43:59SPEAKER_16: But there is dust there.
- 2:44:00SPEAKER_16: Okay, yeah.
- 2:44:01SPEAKER_16: Because nobody's been in there to disturb anything in a long time.
- 2:44:05SPEAKER_03: Okay, that's that's all I really want to get at.
- 2:44:08SPEAKER_03: Okay, so if nothing's in disrepair other than some broken pews, I'm assuming the main doors have some type of wood thing I could fit into a slot.
- 2:44:19SPEAKER_16: Yep, there's uh there's a bar, there's like a barricade that you could like slide a large wooden pillar on.
- 2:44:23SPEAKER_03: Okay, so then I'll do that with the main one.
- 2:44:26SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 2:44:26SPEAKER_03: And then for the mining shaft door, I would grab I'm guessing like a pew or two.
- 2:44:34SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 2:44:35SPEAKER_03: And basically shut the door and then brace the door with these pews.
- 2:44:40SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 2:44:41SPEAKER_03: Not trying.
- 2:44:42SPEAKER_03: What's your strength?
- 2:44:43SPEAKER_03: Uh 23.
- 2:44:44SPEAKER_03: 23, so yeah, I'm not even gonna make it.
- 2:44:46SPEAKER_03: Well, actually, Drax's is 23.
- 2:44:50SPEAKER_03: Oh, what's Mr.
- 2:44:50SPEAKER_03: Drax?
- 2:44:51SPEAKER_03: Uh well he would normally be me, but I don't I don't know if the how the gear uh interacts with it.
- 2:44:59SPEAKER_03: Otherwise, I'd be 18.
- 2:45:01SPEAKER_03: No, you're you.
- 2:45:02SPEAKER_03: Okay, so then you're 23 then.
- 2:45:04SPEAKER_16: You summoned him at that current strength level, right?
- 2:45:07SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
- 2:45:07SPEAKER_16: Yeah, he's you.
- 2:45:08SPEAKER_16: Okay, so then yeah, I have 23.
- 2:45:10SPEAKER_16: Okay, so yeah, so you you were able to pick them up.
- 2:45:12SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and I am trying to be relatively quiet.
- 2:45:14SPEAKER_16: Like I think you down.
- 2:45:16SPEAKER_16: Can you roll me a stealth check then?
- 2:45:18SPEAKER_16: Yeah, sure.
- 2:45:24SPEAKER_16: Uh 24.
- 2:45:25SPEAKER_16: Okay, 24.
- 2:45:26SPEAKER_16: So you're pretty good at what you're doing.
- 2:45:28SPEAKER_16: You're able to put things down relatively quietly.
- 2:45:30SPEAKER_16: As you are barring the door, you watch as the light that is from the sun slowly starts to dip and a pink orange hue starts to bleed in through.
- 2:45:47SPEAKER_16: Through the stained glass windows.
- 2:45:48SPEAKER_16: Through the stained glass windows as the sun is beginning to set.
- 2:45:52SPEAKER_16: So you are barred in.
- 2:45:54SPEAKER_16: We're gonna head back now to the chapel in Winter Forge.
- 2:45:58SPEAKER_16: Did you guys have some something?
- 2:46:02SPEAKER_19: Sniffling and coming to his senses a little after trying to absorb everything that's going on and looking at his brother.
- 2:46:10SPEAKER_19: Einar pulls out Dad's journal.
- 2:46:12SPEAKER_19: And he goes over, sits beside his brother at the table, putting his hand on his chest.
- 2:46:18SPEAKER_19: Says, You're coming back to me, bro.
- 2:46:21SPEAKER_19: And he flips to the page about kinship and just starts reading the pages to him.
- 2:46:24SPEAKER_19: Dad's old lessons.
- 2:46:26SPEAKER_19: Well, I won't read them all out or anything like that.
- 2:46:29SPEAKER_19: He does mention the all of us, no matter where we're from, must one day venture beyond our biological family and find our logical one.
- 2:46:37SPEAKER_19: Brother, we've we found that here.
- 2:46:39SPEAKER_19: They're gonna move heaven and earth, get you back.
- 2:46:42SPEAKER_19: He's heavy on the one where he talks about how a family isn't an important thing, it's everything.
- 2:46:47SPEAKER_19: It's our link to our past and our bridge to our future, and they're gonna they're gonna bring you back so we have a future, brother.
- 2:46:53SPEAKER_19: And he continues with it.
- 2:46:55SPEAKER_19: Just reading Dad's 12 lessons on kinship and reciting them, trying to keep a tether to his brother.
- 2:47:05SPEAKER_19: Chase his worry away.
- 2:47:08SPEAKER_19: Okay, rolled.
- 2:47:10SPEAKER_20: Drink it.
- 2:47:10SPEAKER_20: There's not much I can really do.
- 2:47:18SPEAKER_21: I want to convince this woman it's the right thing to do, but I feel like she would heed the words of the brother and the priest a hell of a lot more than mine.
- 2:47:33SPEAKER_21: Oh, we'll see what the girls have first.
- 2:47:35SPEAKER_20: If they can't convince her, then we'll figure it out.
- 2:47:39SPEAKER_21: I thought they tried when she won payment.
- 2:47:42SPEAKER_21: Well, they you don't know, you went there.
- 2:47:43SPEAKER_21: Sorry, I thought they came back and told us.
- 2:47:45SPEAKER_16: Nope, they haven't come back in there.
- 2:47:47SPEAKER_16: They're now making their way back from the port enter again.
- 2:47:50SPEAKER_16: They're sad, sad messages.
- 2:47:53SPEAKER_11: Are we gonna go to the temple?
- 2:47:54SPEAKER_11: Talk to them first.
- 2:47:58SPEAKER_11: Sure.
- 2:47:58SPEAKER_13: Yeah, yeah, to the temple.
- 2:48:01SPEAKER_13: Burst on in, and we are going as fast as we can.
- 2:48:05SPEAKER_07: Okay, so she is demanding hundreds and hundreds of gold and taxes be um just completely forgiven.
- 2:48:13SPEAKER_07: The king is 100% not willing to do that.
- 2:48:16SPEAKER_11: He said if he could guarantee that she would be his servant going forward at his bidding for her magical skills, then he would uh forgive future taxes.
- 2:48:29SPEAKER_11: She's I don't think she's gonna go for this.
- 2:48:30SPEAKER_11: I don't know how we can convince her or um if you can't convince her that, then we'll have to use another way.
- 2:48:36SPEAKER_04: I mean, I offered to, but uh maybe honestly, I don't know how we can do this.
- 2:48:43SPEAKER_11: I don't think she has to do that.
- 2:48:44SPEAKER_11: I don't think she has one sense of morality.
- 2:48:46SPEAKER_21: She has a sense of gold.
- 2:48:47SPEAKER_21: With her brother, with with the brother there seeing emotion.
- 2:48:53SPEAKER_21: You don't think we can convince her or at least offer her something?
- 2:48:56SPEAKER_09: I know what she wants, and I'm not giving it to her.
- 2:49:00SPEAKER_21: What does she want?
- 2:49:01SPEAKER_06: The Althea coin.
- 2:49:05SPEAKER_20: No, I suppose we can't give that to her.
- 2:49:10SPEAKER_20: Well, see what she says about uh his deal and go from there.
- 2:49:14SPEAKER_20: I mean, uh what else can we do?
- 2:49:16SPEAKER_20: Could we land her the coin?
- 2:49:18SPEAKER_20: No.
- 2:49:20SPEAKER_20: No, because you know that coin's gonna go miss.
- 2:49:22SPEAKER_19: Discuss with her being a servant of her king and having her future taxes forgiven before I do have to get in.
- 2:49:29SPEAKER_19: Before we have to get a revolver.
- 2:49:32SPEAKER_16: Are you guys gonna go with them as just backup in case you need to try something else?
- 2:49:38SPEAKER_16: I think we have to.
- 2:49:39SPEAKER_16: Because he's gonna stay, you're staying, right?
- 2:49:41SPEAKER_11: I'm gonna voice the terrible idea.
- 2:49:45SPEAKER_21: We can't do anything here.
- 2:49:46SPEAKER_11: What if other Drax died and his soul is freed, and then we just do a revivify on this body?
- 2:49:58SPEAKER_21: That's worst case.
- 2:49:59SPEAKER_20: I think we wanna avoid that.
- 2:50:01SPEAKER_20: I mean, but we know we know that the other Drax is still alive because he didn't send it back.
- 2:50:11SPEAKER_20: So he said he did you say he was gonna be like a day-ish?
- 2:50:16SPEAKER_20: Mm-hmm.
- 2:50:17SPEAKER_20: So we can keep this body alive for a day.
- 2:50:21SPEAKER_20: That's not an issue.
- 2:50:23SPEAKER_20: We keep this body not to fully die for ten days if we really need to.
- 2:50:28SPEAKER_20: But I don't obviously why I don't want to wait that long.
- 2:50:32SPEAKER_20: So I think you should talk to her and see if the deal from the king goes.
- 2:50:36SPEAKER_20: Alright, well, let's all go talk to her.
- 2:50:38unknown: Okay.
- 2:50:38SPEAKER_19: Are you sticking around?
- 2:50:40SPEAKER_19: I'm gonna close my book slowly and look up.
- 2:50:43SPEAKER_19: And just look over each one, and you can go.
- 2:50:46SPEAKER_19: I can't promise I'm going to be rational if she won't cooperate.
- 2:50:51SPEAKER_19: But the facts are, if she can help save my brother and she doesn't, she's complicit in his death, and I will hold her accountable as such, and maybe she'll need to see what will stalk her the rest of her days if she does not.
- 2:51:05SPEAKER_06: What if there's something in the mine we can offer her?
- 2:51:08SPEAKER_06: What if there's something she knows down there?
- 2:51:10SPEAKER_04: I am willing to I'm willing to find out.
- 2:51:14SPEAKER_16: So you're gonna go, minor?
- 2:51:16SPEAKER_20: You're gonna leave with Drax.
- 2:51:19SPEAKER_20: You're gonna stay with Drax?
- 2:51:20SPEAKER_20: Well, I'm not gonna leave Drax's body by himself in here.
- 2:51:23SPEAKER_20: Hand on your shoulder.
- 2:51:25SPEAKER_19: Watch him, thank you.
- 2:51:26SPEAKER_19: I actually hug you.
- 2:51:27SPEAKER_08: You hug his waist.
- 2:51:29unknown: Yes.
- 2:51:29SPEAKER_19: Well, I'm taller than that, but I hug you around the trestrel area.
- 2:51:34SPEAKER_19: Chest.
- 2:51:35SPEAKER_19: Say watch him.
- 2:51:36SPEAKER_16: Alright.
- 2:51:37SPEAKER_16: So if you guys want to go, I'll stay.
- 2:51:39SPEAKER_16: You four?
- 2:51:40SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
- 2:51:40SPEAKER_16: With Einar?
- 2:51:41SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
- 2:51:41SPEAKER_16: Okay.
- 2:51:42SPEAKER_16: You head back to the apothecary.
- 2:51:44unknown: And you walk.
- 2:51:45SPEAKER_11: Not the apothecary.
- 2:51:47SPEAKER_16: Oh, no, sorry.
- 2:51:48SPEAKER_16: Sorry, the sister.
- 2:51:49SPEAKER_16: Thank you.
- 2:51:50SPEAKER_11: She was much nicer.
- 2:51:51SPEAKER_16: Yeah, she's way nicer.
- 2:51:52SPEAKER_16: It'd be great it was her.
- 2:51:53SPEAKER_16: Um, you're walking out.
- 2:51:55SPEAKER_16: Einer.
- 2:51:56SPEAKER_16: As you step into the cold, you're trailing behind the U3 a little bit.
- 2:52:00SPEAKER_16: In your solemn thoughts.
- 2:52:01SPEAKER_16: You hear a voice in your head.
- 2:52:04SPEAKER_18: You know, I can bring him back.
- 2:52:14SPEAKER_19: I say out loud, I have no control.
- 2:52:16SPEAKER_19: How?
- 2:52:17SPEAKER_19: Don't fuck with me or toy with me, Ventor.
- 2:52:21SPEAKER_11: Stop instantly and I look at you.
- 2:52:23SPEAKER_19: Yeah, he's behind, not in front.
- 2:52:25SPEAKER_18: All you have to do is lay your hands on him and let me free.
- 2:52:38SPEAKER_19: He says I can put my hands on him and bring him back.
- 2:52:41SPEAKER_19: Do how letting him free.
- 2:52:44SPEAKER_11: Letting Ventor free, so letting Vantor on the body.
- 2:52:49SPEAKER_11: That's not bringing Drax back, that's giving Vantor a body.
- 2:52:54SPEAKER_11: The body is empty right now.
- 2:52:57SPEAKER_11: That's not an option.
- 2:52:58SPEAKER_18: She doesn't know what it's like.
- 2:53:02SPEAKER_18: She doesn't understand.
- 2:53:06SPEAKER_00: We could fix this together.
- 2:53:10SPEAKER_06: And you would have your brother back.
- 2:53:14SPEAKER_06: You'd have a puppet.
- 2:53:17SPEAKER_19: He's trying to t he's trying to manipulate me.
- 2:53:21SPEAKER_19: Using my he's he says I can have him back.
- 2:53:24SPEAKER_19: Where is she?
- 2:53:26SPEAKER_19: Follow us.
- 2:53:28SPEAKER_19: I get ahead of them.
- 2:53:29SPEAKER_19: Yeah, I was fine.
- 2:53:30SPEAKER_19: One bound.
- 2:53:32SPEAKER_19: Dear stretch and just towards the apothecary, landing as close as you can in a superhero pose, I might add.
- 2:53:39SPEAKER_19: Like a squirrel.
- 2:53:40SPEAKER_19: Absolutely, the most dick ass squirrel you've ever seen.
- 2:53:44SPEAKER_19: Superhero pose.
- 2:53:45SPEAKER_19: Okay.
- 2:53:45SPEAKER_19: And I go at the doors.
- 2:53:46SPEAKER_19: I'm at the door.
- 2:53:48SPEAKER_19: Breathing heavily and waiting and gathering himself.
- 2:53:51SPEAKER_19: Okay.
- 2:53:52SPEAKER_19: For them to come in.
- 2:53:53SPEAKER_08: I'm gonna let you guys enter first, actually.
- 2:53:56SPEAKER_08: See what she makes of you.
- 2:53:57SPEAKER_08: I'll come in behind.
- 2:53:59SPEAKER_19: When they get there, I'm going to open the door.
- 2:54:02SPEAKER_16: When you get in there, and there is this hunched old lady behind the counter.
- 2:54:12SPEAKER_17: You can fuck off too.
- 2:54:19SPEAKER_19: Terrifying smile crosses his face.
- 2:54:22SPEAKER_19: And the brother of the man you are trying to barter over whether it's worth saving or not.
- 2:54:26SPEAKER_19: Who's here to save your village and your town?
- 2:54:29SPEAKER_17: What are you talking about?
- 2:54:30SPEAKER_17: There's no blah, there's nobody.
- 2:54:33SPEAKER_17: I'm just told I'm supposed to open a portal.
- 2:54:36SPEAKER_19: You're supposed to open this portal to save a member of this party.
- 2:54:40SPEAKER_19: Who is it?
- 2:54:41SPEAKER_19: Without this portal opening, he will pass from this world.
- 2:54:46SPEAKER_21: You'd be dead right now, likely, if we hadn't stopped the giants.
- 2:54:51SPEAKER_21: Maybe you should have some frickin' sympathy to our situation.
- 2:54:56SPEAKER_18: So you're telling me that?
- 2:54:58SPEAKER_18: Your little girly friend.
- 2:55:03SPEAKER_06: Excuse me, I'm not his girly friend.
- 2:55:05SPEAKER_12: Yeah, she's better.
- 2:55:07SPEAKER_12: No, like girly.
- 2:55:08SPEAKER_13: Girly and friend.
- 2:55:10SPEAKER_16: Girly.
- 2:55:11SPEAKER_16: Your girly.
- 2:55:12SPEAKER_21: I don't like that.
- 2:55:13SPEAKER_21: Not a girly.
- 2:55:14SPEAKER_17: So she lied to me then.
- 2:55:17SPEAKER_21: There was no lie.
- 2:55:18SPEAKER_21: She said she wanted the portal open.
- 2:55:19SPEAKER_21: She should have been more forthright.
- 2:55:21SPEAKER_17: Well, when you're not forthcoming, man, the price goes up, you know.
- 2:55:26SPEAKER_17: Don't deceive from the book.
- 2:55:28SPEAKER_21: I don't believe it was deception.
- 2:55:30SPEAKER_21: I believe it was merely.
- 2:55:33SPEAKER_21: You're just going to speak for South Delphine, you're here.
- 2:55:36SPEAKER_11: I'm just trying to barter for services.
- 2:55:39SPEAKER_00: But you're not gonna get anything.
- 2:55:41SPEAKER_11: You didn't need to know the what they were for.
- 2:55:44SPEAKER_11: You only needed to know your coin.
- 2:55:46SPEAKER_13: Sweetens the point doesn't have The King is not going to forgive your taxes.
- 2:56:00SPEAKER_13: Past taxes.
- 2:56:02SPEAKER_13: Past taxes.
- 2:56:04SPEAKER_07: However, he would be willing to uh forgive future taxes if you would be willing to actually provide your services to him.
- 2:56:13SPEAKER_17: What do you mean I don't I don't have to pay my old ones?
- 2:56:16SPEAKER_13: No, you'd still have to owe your old ones.
- 2:56:18SPEAKER_06: But we both we both know you're not gonna pay it, so it's anyway.
- 2:56:22SPEAKER_06: So now you're not gonna be held liable for any future ones.
- 2:56:26SPEAKER_06: I'm not even held liable now! What's the difference?
- 2:56:29SPEAKER_12: You're helping.
- 2:56:30SPEAKER_21: I'm not helping myself, am I?
- 2:56:33SPEAKER_21: How much effort is it really to have your that chopper is?
- 2:56:42SPEAKER_06: You have some big strong men who'll carry you very delicately.
- 2:56:54SPEAKER_15: Well, I mean I tell you what, mighty be afraid here.
- 2:56:58SPEAKER_15: It's because you've got someone that's died.
- 2:57:02SPEAKER_15: How stupid was he to die in that?
- 2:57:04SPEAKER_15: This wasn't your battle, was he?
- 2:57:07SPEAKER_19: Well he could fall into the rock.
- 2:57:10SPEAKER_19: Bomb his head on the show of flame.
- 2:57:12SPEAKER_19: I uh Einar does lose a little bit here.
- 2:57:15SPEAKER_19: Do I raise?
- 2:57:15SPEAKER_19: No, I don't raise the show yet.
- 2:57:28SPEAKER_19: And it has cost him nearly his life for trying to help your village and others know this crucial information.
- 2:57:33SPEAKER_19: That's how he died, is risking himself to help others.
- 2:57:37SPEAKER_11: Don't question a wizard's understanding.
- 2:57:41SPEAKER_11: They don't like that.
- 2:57:44SPEAKER_17: I mean being spoken to that way in my own shop.
- 2:57:49SPEAKER_17: I'm not speaking otherwise to you until he leaves.
- 2:57:54SPEAKER_19: I open the door.
- 2:57:56SPEAKER_19: As I get to the door, you hear a It's my brother! And I rage and let does the ink come out or not?
- 2:58:02SPEAKER_19: I'm not trying to I will suppress and just do the beast if he doesn't want to come out.
- 2:58:06SPEAKER_19: Uh little Venture loves coming out.
- 2:58:09SPEAKER_19: Alright.
- 2:58:09SPEAKER_19: For six seconds, ink is rolling around me.
- 2:58:13SPEAKER_19: I'm eight feet in tile.
- 2:58:15SPEAKER_19: She can get to see what the what I am on that level, going, and I will see his soul saved.
- 2:58:20SPEAKER_19: So you let her see the ink?
- 2:58:22SPEAKER_19: Outside the door.
- 2:58:23SPEAKER_21: I let the full ink run over me, and then I flip- I'm not gonna lie, I have to point an arrow at you.
- 2:58:28SPEAKER_21: I don't know what's happening.
- 2:58:29SPEAKER_19: For six seconds, you do.
- 2:58:32SPEAKER_19: I let it go for the six seconds of the stand there, and it slows right back down and around me, and that's when I'm saying, I will do anything for him.
- 2:58:39SPEAKER_19: And I turn off and just walk a few feet off out of the door.
- 2:58:42SPEAKER_19: I was outside when I did this, by the way.
- 2:58:44SPEAKER_19: This wasn't inside the shop, this was outside the door.
- 2:58:45SPEAKER_16: Outside the door, but she saw it.
- 2:58:47SPEAKER_16: You said I wanted her to be able to see it from there.
- 2:58:49SPEAKER_16: So as he does that, and then the door kind of goes closes behind it, you see her eyes.
- 2:58:56SPEAKER_16: Her eye singular is wide like a dinner plate.
- 2:59:11SPEAKER_17: You've allowed one of your own to be corrupted by the blackness?
- 2:59:19SPEAKER_17: Yes.
- 2:59:19SPEAKER_17: I think it's better off that you've got your party member dead, less one of them to be killed.
- 2:59:29SPEAKER_17: What?
- 2:59:30SPEAKER_17: What are you gonna do?
- 2:59:31SPEAKER_17: You sit there and stare at me with your eyes all again.
- 2:59:34SPEAKER_17: Well, not helping you! Not with that man running around.
- 2:59:38SPEAKER_15: Terrifying, I tell you what.
- 2:59:40SPEAKER_11: What if he ran around in here though?
- 2:59:41SPEAKER_11: Wouldn't that be awful?
- 2:59:43SPEAKER_15: Oh, I've got my ways of stuffing him.
- 2:59:46SPEAKER_15: I'll think over your plan.
- 2:59:49SPEAKER_21: There's no time to think.
- 2:59:51SPEAKER_21: Well, you're gonna have to let it happen.
- 2:59:54SPEAKER_21: You come back here tomorrow morning.
- 2:59:57SPEAKER_21: Maybe we'll just talk to the king.
- 2:59:58SPEAKER_21: Maybe we can just get you exiled from here and you can just go die in the air.
- 3:00:02SPEAKER_21: I would love that, wouldn't he?
- 3:00:03SPEAKER_17: That pompous ass.
- 3:00:05SPEAKER_17: He'd love to see me and the cold or what can you read?
- 3:00:09SPEAKER_13: We can take you down to the cold if you would like.
- 3:00:13SPEAKER_13: I would love to have your aid when we go down to find the dragon.
- 3:00:18SPEAKER_00: I tell you what.
- 3:00:22SPEAKER_00: Where are you going to find this dragon?
- 3:00:24SPEAKER_07: Soon as we can gather ourselves and our dead friend.
- 3:00:30SPEAKER_00: You know there is something that I would like from the mine.
- 3:00:33SPEAKER_13: What do you want?
- 3:00:34SPEAKER_13: Just be clear with us.
- 3:00:36SPEAKER_13: Well, it's a dragon, right?
- 3:00:39SPEAKER_11: Yes.
- 3:00:40SPEAKER_00: What do we know about dragons?
- 3:00:42SPEAKER_11: They're big, they're shiny, they're pretty, they have tempers.
- 3:00:46SPEAKER_11: And what do they have?
- 3:00:48SPEAKER_11: A horde.
- 3:00:49SPEAKER_00: I think it's a good one.
- 3:00:51SPEAKER_11: Oh, I was gonna say claws.
- 3:00:53SPEAKER_11: Not too.
- 3:00:54SPEAKER_11: Okay.
- 3:00:54SPEAKER_00: Can you bring me that dragon's hood?
- 3:00:57SPEAKER_00: I'll do anything you want.
- 3:01:01SPEAKER_21: We'll give you how you have access.
- 3:01:03SPEAKER_21: We can't physically bring it to you.
- 3:01:05SPEAKER_21: Bring me what you can.
- 3:01:06SPEAKER_05: We will bring you a tiny bit.
- 3:01:08SPEAKER_21: We got a big friend here.
- 3:01:10SPEAKER_05: We'll bring you a lot as well.
- 3:01:12SPEAKER_12: We're not there up straight.
- 3:01:13SPEAKER_12: We'll bring you what we can.
- 3:01:16SPEAKER_11: If you come and aid us right now, we will bring you something nice and shiny from the dragon.
- 3:01:24SPEAKER_15: Service before payment.
- 3:01:27SPEAKER_08: If I give you a hundred gold up front, and then you do the service, and then we give you what we find in the horn.
- 3:01:36SPEAKER_08: I mean, that's a smaller deposit.
- 3:01:39SPEAKER_00: Splitly deposit.
- 3:01:42SPEAKER_11: I think it over.
- 3:01:44SPEAKER_21: There's no time to.
- 3:01:45SPEAKER_11: Would you think faster if we got you a really nice cup of tea and cleaned your storeroom?
- 3:01:57SPEAKER_12: Oh man, when you're going for your chores in DD, you are at the Beckings Desperation Door bed.
- 3:02:03SPEAKER_12: Oh you wait.
- 3:02:06SPEAKER_16: Yeah, roll me a perception check.
- 3:02:07SPEAKER_11: Perception.
- 3:02:08SPEAKER_16: Sorry.
- 3:02:09SPEAKER_16: Persuasion.
- 3:02:09SPEAKER_16: Persuasion, thank you.
- 3:02:10SPEAKER_10: I'm trying not to trash her shop.
- 3:02:12SPEAKER_10: 13.
- 3:02:13SPEAKER_16: 13?
- 3:02:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you got it.
- 3:02:17SPEAKER_00: Alright, yeah.
- 3:02:18SPEAKER_00: Come on back.
- 3:02:19SPEAKER_00: You can start to clean up around here.
- 3:02:21SPEAKER_16: I've got uh I've got a watering hole in the back that needs to be scrubbed.
- 3:02:27SPEAKER_16: I got Cantrip's gonna do all the scrubbing for me.
- 3:02:30SPEAKER_00: Oh, and uh no magic.
- 3:02:34SPEAKER_11: Hmm, I got lots of hands here that can help me do some scrubbing.
- 3:02:37SPEAKER_06: That's perfect.
- 3:02:39SPEAKER_00: Perfect.
- 3:02:39SPEAKER_00: And uh I'm gonna go and uh close up shop, get some rest, and I'll let you know what I think.
- 3:02:46SPEAKER_08: No, I won't start cleaning until I have a decision.
- 3:02:48SPEAKER_00: Oh, but then you know.
- 3:02:50SPEAKER_11: You don't want to leave us unsupervised.
- 3:02:52SPEAKER_11: I want to be left unsupervised.
- 3:02:54SPEAKER_11: And then I reach over and I just smash something off the wall, and I don't even care what the fuck it is.
- 3:03:00SPEAKER_11: I just try and reach for something and I just start smashing over.
- 3:03:03SPEAKER_16: So you do that, right?
- 3:03:04SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
- 3:03:04SPEAKER_16: You go to smash your something and your hand just passes through it.
- 3:03:08SPEAKER_13: Oh, this is a fucking imaginary shop.
- 3:03:11SPEAKER_13: This is bullshit.
- 3:03:14SPEAKER_13: I cast shatter.
- 3:03:19SPEAKER_11: Okay.
- 3:03:20SPEAKER_11: Anything, I I mean, I can't imagine that it's gonna do anything to hurt, obviously, but anything in a 10-foot radius from me is going to uh non-magical items are gonna take damage.
- 3:03:35SPEAKER_16: Okay.
- 3:03:36SPEAKER_11: Radiate thunder damage.
- 3:03:37SPEAKER_16: Anything that is non-magical.
- 3:03:39SPEAKER_13: Anything non-magical.
- 3:03:41SPEAKER_16: All the windows blow out, and she has a coffee cup that's got cold stale coffee and it shatters, and you can hear a few things in the back that go and a couple boxes that break, but then everything that's in the front of the shop unfazed.
- 3:03:59SPEAKER_11: It's all just imaginary.
- 3:04:02SPEAKER_11: I'm just throwing a fucking tent temper tantrum here.
- 3:04:05SPEAKER_11: Because she's being she yeah, she's intentionally fucking with us.
- 3:04:11SPEAKER_11: Yeah, she's very intentionally fucking with us.
- 3:04:13SPEAKER_21: Yeah.
- 3:04:14SPEAKER_21: Well, she's useless because if they aren't willing to do it 24 hours anyways.
- 3:04:19SPEAKER_08: Yeah, offers off the day.
- 3:04:24SPEAKER_16: Well, 24 hours would take you until the evening of the next day.
- 3:04:30SPEAKER_07: And she's not willing to even talk to us until the morning.
- 3:04:33SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I thought it's okay.
- 3:04:36SPEAKER_07: She's making us wait basically as long as we would almost have to.
- 3:04:40SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
- 3:04:41SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
- 3:04:41SPEAKER_16: It could be.
- 3:04:42SPEAKER_16: Mm-hmm.
- 3:04:44SPEAKER_16: So she just smiles and smirks to herself as she hobbles off into the back room where she has her little bed that she sleeps on in the back room and her bed pen and her little hole in the ground that she does her business in, and all the rest in the back is just in shambles.
- 3:05:02SPEAKER_16: You do what you do?
- 3:05:04SPEAKER_11: I leave.
- 3:05:05SPEAKER_16: You leave?
- 3:05:06SPEAKER_11: Yes.
- 3:05:06SPEAKER_11: Yeah, we're not gonna we're not gonna follow through on anything.
- 3:05:09SPEAKER_21: Yeah, so I'm actually gonna say, well, fine, she won't give us anything.
- 3:05:13SPEAKER_21: Don't these things get written down somewhere?
- 3:05:16SPEAKER_21: Can we steal it?
- 3:05:20SPEAKER_07: Her ability?
- 3:05:23SPEAKER_11: Only I need the sigil for the other place, and she's the only person who knows it.
- 3:05:27SPEAKER_07: So I know.
- 3:05:28SPEAKER_11: Yes, can we do an investigation, see if there's anything else?
- 3:05:32SPEAKER_16: Don't think you're gonna spell it.
- 3:05:33SPEAKER_16: That's it's true.
- 3:05:34SPEAKER_07: Does she have books around?
- 3:05:34SPEAKER_16: Anything?
- 3:05:35SPEAKER_16: So, yeah, the teleportation circle spell is a spell.
- 3:05:39SPEAKER_16: You do have to know how to do it, but you also have to know the teleportation sigils at each location that you teleport it to.
- 3:05:46SPEAKER_16: So the one that you're at, obviously you know because you're looking at it.
- 3:05:49SPEAKER_16: Right.
- 3:05:49SPEAKER_16: Right.
- 3:05:49SPEAKER_16: So now Delphine will be able to mark that down and memorize that one, but she doesn't know the one that Drax is at.
- 3:05:56SPEAKER_16: She knows the one that's in Silvery Moon.
- 3:05:58SPEAKER_21: But the other woman does, so she must have it written down somewhere.
- 3:06:01SPEAKER_08: If you want to go get Ramstack her place and memorization, memorization.
- 3:06:05SPEAKER_21: Okay.
- 3:06:08SPEAKER_21: I don't know.
- 3:06:08SPEAKER_11: Let's go talk to the sister.
- 3:06:10SPEAKER_21: That's a good idea.
- 3:06:11SPEAKER_21: Maybe it expense through her.
- 3:06:13SPEAKER_21: That's a smart idea.
- 3:06:15SPEAKER_07: I think we're fucked.
- 3:06:16SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
- 3:06:17SPEAKER_07: I think we're fucked.
- 3:06:18SPEAKER_11: I don't under there's there's nothing that we can do to make this old hag willing to assist us.
- 3:06:24SPEAKER_11: Emphasis on hag.
- 3:06:26SPEAKER_16: Well, she's not gonna do it at your schedule.
- 3:06:28SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
- 3:06:29SPEAKER_07: She's gonna wait until our fucking time's up, anyways.
- 3:06:32SPEAKER_11: And then she's gonna try and try charge us a dragon's horde to assist us in something that's about to fucking happen.
- 3:06:40SPEAKER_11: No, I'm no, no deal.
- 3:06:42SPEAKER_16: No dice?
- 3:06:42SPEAKER_16: No.
- 3:06:43SPEAKER_11: No dice.
- 3:06:44SPEAKER_16: Alright.
- 3:06:44SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
- 3:06:44SPEAKER_16: So you storm out into the cold again to see Einar standing there.
- 3:06:49SPEAKER_16: Some of the snow around his feet melted.
- 3:06:52SPEAKER_16: Because he's just super angry.
- 3:06:54SPEAKER_16: What's her house made out of?
- 3:06:56SPEAKER_16: Is it wood?
- 3:06:56SPEAKER_16: Her house is the only house in the village that is not stone.
- 3:07:00SPEAKER_16: It is wooden.
- 3:07:02SPEAKER_16: And a lot of the wall like the windows have been blown out.
- 3:07:05SPEAKER_19: I don't think Einar cares a lot right now.
- 3:07:07SPEAKER_19: That's true.
- 3:07:08SPEAKER_19: He just gave her a warning of if she need she is complicit, if she will not help she didn't kill Drax.
- 3:07:15SPEAKER_19: She has the ability to save him and won't, though.
- 3:07:17SPEAKER_19: And in his mind, that is complicity.
- 3:07:18SPEAKER_19: What are you gonna do?
- 3:07:19SPEAKER_19: You also just He starts sizing up the furthest pillar on the house.
- 3:07:24SPEAKER_19: Okay.
- 3:07:24SPEAKER_19: Lily's well, actually, looking straight.
- 3:07:27SPEAKER_21: This is a person we care about.
- 3:07:29SPEAKER_19: I think I think right now she they said she won't help us.
- 3:07:34SPEAKER_19: You guys will come out of the house.
- 3:07:35SPEAKER_19: What are you doing?
- 3:07:36SPEAKER_07: I am standing with you.
- 3:07:37SPEAKER_19: Okay.
- 3:07:37SPEAKER_19: He's seizing me right now, like I said, he's looking at the house.
- 3:07:40SPEAKER_11: She did make a big deal about you showing off your ink.
- 3:07:43SPEAKER_11: I don't think you should be showing it off out in the middle of everything.
- 3:07:46SPEAKER_11: Why don't you snuggle her up with your ink?
- 3:07:52SPEAKER_21: Well, it's actually news.
- 3:07:54SPEAKER_21: I didn't know that it was all connected, but she just confirmed it.
- 3:07:59SPEAKER_11: I just said ink, I didn't say anything.
- 3:08:02SPEAKER_18: Let's go trash it.
- 3:08:06SPEAKER_19: Now that's something I can agree with.
- 3:08:10SPEAKER_19: Go back, can bring your brother back.
- 3:08:12SPEAKER_19: I am alive.
- 3:08:17SPEAKER_19: We can't bring him back to life, Ventor, without his other soul here.
- 3:08:20SPEAKER_19: We've already figured that out, otherwise we'd just resurrect him.
- 3:08:25SPEAKER_19: But trashing the store is a good idea.
- 3:08:27SPEAKER_19: I think we like this idea, then.
- 3:08:28SPEAKER_19: I call him vent, I could vent.
- 3:08:31SPEAKER_19: I start to look at the door.
- 3:08:32SPEAKER_19: And then look at the windows.
- 3:08:35SPEAKER_19: Start stretching a little.
- 3:08:37SPEAKER_19: Looking at upper windows.
- 3:08:39SPEAKER_19: Is it a two-story?
- 3:08:40SPEAKER_19: Single story?
- 3:08:41SPEAKER_19: It's a single story.
- 3:08:42SPEAKER_19: All the windows are blasted anyway.
- 3:08:44SPEAKER_07: Yeah, I blasted out the windows.
- 3:08:46SPEAKER_07: She's just in the back room.
- 3:08:48SPEAKER_07: Still an ultimate spider?
- 3:08:51SPEAKER_16: What are you doing, Iriner?
- 3:08:56SPEAKER_19: Einar starts walking towards the temple.
- 3:08:59SPEAKER_19: Okay.
- 3:09:01SPEAKER_19: I'm definitely following.
- 3:09:02SPEAKER_19: He starts reciting something from Dad's book about discipline.
- 3:09:06SPEAKER_19: Something.
- 3:09:06SPEAKER_19: I don't know which one.
- 3:09:07SPEAKER_19: He can't think right now.
- 3:09:08SPEAKER_19: It's half broken, actually.
- 3:09:09SPEAKER_19: But it sounds like what he's trying to say is things about, you know, you know, remembering who you are.
- 3:09:13SPEAKER_19: We do what we do to help people.
- 3:09:17SPEAKER_16: Take an inspiration for that.
- 3:09:20SPEAKER_16: So you start marching back into the temple.
- 3:09:23SPEAKER_16: Right?
- 3:09:24SPEAKER_16: The day is waiting on.
- 3:09:27SPEAKER_16: You flash over to Drax.
- 3:09:29SPEAKER_16: The sun is dipping down behind the horizon now.
- 3:09:32SPEAKER_16: You can hear the howls in the distance.
- 3:09:36SPEAKER_16: What you can hear, what you didn't expect, is the clashing of steel not far off in the distance, in the direction that the dwarves went.
- 3:09:54SPEAKER_16: And you have a sinking feeling in your heart.
- 3:09:58SPEAKER_16: And that's where we're gonna leave it off for this session, guys.
- 3:10:04SPEAKER_12: Five secles!
