  Secondhand Souls got some much-needed rest while also getting

  familiar with their

  SPEAKER_03: new gear.

  SPEAKER_03: Being the first one awake, Yenor made some interesting oatmeal.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_03: Kaida,
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_03: a couple hours later,
• 1:02
  then woke up and began to enhance the oatmeal some to make it
• 1:07
  to everyone else's
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_03: taste.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_03: The smell and commotion of this woke everyone else up.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_03: However, Iris was still in her room.
• 1:14
  Yenor went to check on her and walked in on the startling
• 1:18
  sight,
• 1:18
  on a startling sight.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_03: Iris was hovering with wings and multiple eyes.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_03: She flew down the stairs and showed everyone
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_03: this trick, which promptly freaked everyone except Unora out.
• 1:32
  She also showed how she can inhale and throw up Thesson to gain
• 1:36
  these powers.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_03: Krakka decided to hide in the closet while the rest tried to leave,
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_03: but the guards wouldn't let them.
• 1:44
  The guards did eventually get approval to escort them to the
• 1:47
  council meeting after
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_03: leaving everyone trapped with what they were afraid of a monster.
• 1:54
  Once at the council meeting,
• 1:55
  Wakim was the spokesperson with everyone else supporting.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_03: What started as a heated discussion transformed into an interrogation,
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_03: but then came back to a healthy debate.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_03: With Wakim's charm and Yanora's records,
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_03: plus the other's assistance,
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_03: they got the support of the council,
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_03: and now they await planning and resources over the next few days.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_03: You guys are in the council chamber.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_03: They had just finished their deliberations with you and reviewing all the
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_03: information and other evidence that you had brought,
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_03: including the vampire head.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, by the way, did you want this back?
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_03: And he's holding the vampire head up.
• 2:58

• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: So...
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I thought it was just to prove, you know, like a bounty.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: We collected it, but you still want to keep it for a trophy.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: And you talk about them doing weird stuff.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_02: No, they do magic stuff with it.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_02: Kaida might have use of it.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: So, magical use.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_02: They do weird stuff with objects.

  things like that you know vampire teeth could be a thing I
• 4:03
  don't know I don't do
• 4:09
  all that magic things okay it's just just a little weird to me
• 4:20
  that's all but
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_00: anyways um so we're free to roam the city and we are are we
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: not wanted or did you not wipe all of everything clean?
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_03: We're gonna work on that over the next few days.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_03: But you're not wanted by us.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_03: Such is the rule of law here.
• 4:49
  There will be a bulletin sent out to all the guilds stating
• 4:52
  that anyone attempting
• 4:53
  to hunt you for bounty will be held in contempt of their bounty
• 4:58
  hunting license.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_02: I forget what was said about going after Belfast.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_02: Or are they figuring that out?
• 5:20
  They're figuring out everything that they need to do for all of
• 5:23
  the requests that
• 5:24
  you made The most urgent request is the one to the Lantana
• 5:31
  Bastion Okay Because
• 5:34
  they're actively under siege Belfast is actively kidnapped He
• 5:40
  could actively be
• 5:41
  being tortured He could Just saying Do you want more people to
• 5:47
  be kidnapped?
• 5:49
  Didn't we piece it together that the people that kidnapped
• 5:53
  Belfast were also going
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: to see Lady Red?
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_02: That's awesome.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: I'm asking.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: My brain's a little foggy.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just asking to make sure that...
• 6:08
  It was determined that it was highly likely that it was the
• 6:11
  same group or a group
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_03: working with another group with the same goals.
• 6:19
  okay is because the same things we're seeing that the giant
• 6:26
  humanoids in the suits
• 6:28
  with the pink mist so so is there a teleportation circle here
• 6:43
  somewhere in the city
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: we can possibly use
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_00: I mean,
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: whenever we're ready to go assist Ren,
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: I just wanted to make sure there was a quick way over there,
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_00: that's all.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_00: I looked at the group when I said that.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_03: We have,
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_03: as Elish is talking,
• 7:09
  we have ways of fast transportation and there may be a circle
• 7:15
  or two that could be
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_03: used as well as potentially a tree.
• 7:19
  But that will be revealed in due time as we can't have you
• 7:24
  leaving the city until
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_03: our plans are solidified.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry, you said a tree?
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, a tree.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I was...
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_00: I'm right there with you.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_01: What the fuck do you mean a tree?
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_01: We're not foxes.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_01: We don't... trees are in sport.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_03: I mean,
• 7:49
  if you end up being on the strike force that's going over to
• 7:52
  Lady Wren's bastion,
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_03: you'll find out how tree transport works.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_01: That doesn't sound real.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: That also doesn't sound bad.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_00: Do you use the tree as some sort of catapult?
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to write that one down.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_03: And he pulls out a piece of parchment and writes down, tree catapult.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_03: experiment.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_03: Good, I like that.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_03: We should keep you guys around for ideas.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_02: Procco, what have you done?
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_00: Trying to figure out free transportation.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: That's what I did.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_00: A tree catapult.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I mean, how else are you going to, a tree going to use you to
• 8:44
  transport i mean if you pull you know i know if you pull a
• 8:47
  branch back or something
• 8:48
  and you put like a nut in and you let go it'll go flying so by
• 8:56
  slingshotting us
• 8:57
  with the giant tree i wasn't i wasn't i was not recommending it
• 9:02
  i was just trying
• 9:03
  to figure the transport out and how it works that that's all i
• 9:07
  i do not want to be
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_00: the test dummy to this
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_00: Tree catapults.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_00: No, sir.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I don't know.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe after a few drinks.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_02: He's a druid.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_02: He probably sucks people into the trees.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_03: Excuse me, I am not a druid.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_02: What are you?
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_01: We meant the turtle.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_01: What?
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_03: My friend down there is a druid and you see Pen just...
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_03: I thought this meeting was done.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_03: But yes, I am the druid.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_03: He down there is everything else magical.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_02: They have a druid.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_02: They probably put you into the trees.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_03: I could turn people into trees.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_00: Please don't.
• 10:12
  He waves his hand a little bit,
• 10:15
  and you see just a tree start growing out of Prokka's shell.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_03: Just a little tiny, little tiny tree.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, your shell feels a little heavier.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_02: Can I try to pull it off?
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_03: Sure.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_00: Don't do that.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_00: Like, do I feel it growing?
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_03: Not inside of the shell, you just feel a little heavier.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_02: I try to pull it off.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_03: It breaks off.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_02: He put this on you.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_02: There's another one.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_03: Joaquin, your detect magic is still up.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_03: This is just like druid craft.
• 11:05
  Are you trying to say my shell is dirty,
• 11:07
  that there's so much dirt on it you can grow a tree?
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_00: It's nature magic.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_00: It's fine.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_00: It's the druids.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_03: No, if your show was dirty, I'd put a mushroom on it.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, both of them grow in dirt, so... Mushroom would have been cooler.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_00: If he grows a mushroom on me, don't rip it off.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want him there.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_02: What if it does weird things to you?
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_02: I've heard of druids and their mushrooms.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_00: Well...
• 11:55
  I mean,
• 11:56
  I would rely on you guys to let me know if it's doing weird
• 12:01
  things to me.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_00: I probably wouldn't notice it myself.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, look at Penn.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_02: He does too much stuff with mushrooms.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_02: We can't trust the mushrooms.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_01: mushroom man.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I've never really seen a gem dragon born before.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_00: Never one that is half fungus.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_00: So I don't really know how to take him at all, to tell you the truth.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_00: Just glad he's on my side.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_02: Fair.

  SPEAKER_00: Careful, careful.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_00: I use that word sparingly.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_00: And he just kind of narrows his eyes out.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_01: I'm good.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_03: Well,
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_03: some of our esteemed council have other duties to attend,
• 14:09
  but I believe some will volunteer to stay behind and observe in
• 14:16
  case something goes
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_03: awry.
• 14:26
  and you see the counselor that called out all your crimes kinda
• 14:33
  sold off out a door
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_03: on the side there.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_01: All our crimes.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_03: And then you see the two feline-like sisters kind of
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_03: leap over the front.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_03: Kind of be like, can we talk to your cat friend for a second?
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_01: What are you going to do with her?
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_03: Just have a discussion.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_02: Does she want to talk to you?
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_03: No.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_03: Deedle, do you want to talk to them?
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_01: You know these cats?
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_00: Sure, I'll talk to them.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_00: Suspicious.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, one's one to backseat to another.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe I got floof in my tail.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_03: I walk over here and then they walk over there.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_03: And then
• 15:53
  Joaquim,
• 15:54
  to your trained eye,
• 15:57
  you would see just a dome go up around them.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_00: Oh.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_00: It's being serious.
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_03: Like a...
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_03: It's like an invisible dome, but it's shimmery.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_03: So you don't hear any...
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_03: You see lips moving throughout this,
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_03: but you don't...
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_03: All of you see lips moving,
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_03: but you don't hear anything coming out from over there.
• 16:24
  Noted Miss Shadow Here We thought First we thought you had been
• 16:38
  killed Almost a few
• 16:43
  times actually Then We heard you were working for some crime
• 16:48
  underlords Um
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_00: It's not so much working,
• 16:56
  I just need to pick up some money and I think I came across the
• 17:00
  wrong kind of
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_03: people.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'd say so.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_03: The clan still hasn't located your missing family.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_03: Well, that's good.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_03: We have some leads and we think that
• 17:25
  what your group now is looking for will lead us to what
• 17:30
  everybody is looking for.
• 17:35
  I think the same people that took your friends are the same
• 17:40
  people that took your family.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_03: We need to know that you're not a double agent.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_03: No.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_03: Definitely not.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_03: heir to the leadership of this clan relies on us.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_03: And that would eventually be passed down to you.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_03: At least until your father gets back.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_03: We have to find him first.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_00: Definitely love to find them.
• 18:25
  We'll be keeping our eye on you I don't know any double agent
• 18:30
  that would outwardly
• 18:31
  admit that they're a double agent immediately But if you've
• 18:36
  gotten the trust of
• 18:37
  such an esteemed investigator Then I guess we can allow you
• 18:46
  back into the fold for
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_03: the time being Thank you No more of this
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_03: working for the wrong people thing.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_00: No, I think I found my people.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_03: Alright.
• 19:13
  And then Dionys gives her sister a look and her sister just
• 19:17
  kind of waves her hand.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_03: and the dome.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_03: Well, as the dome falls, you all hear, well, that was a nice chat.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_03: We gotta be going.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_03: You can return to your friends.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_03: And you see they both just kind of walk off towards the back door.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_03: Have a good day, ladies.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_03: The rest of you just heard that last sentence.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_03: And then Deedle returns to you.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_00: You good, dude?
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_00: Just hoping to maybe get some info on my family.
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_00: Oh.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_00: Gotta leave.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_03: Continue.
• 20:18
  You're gonna help them and they're gonna give you information
• 20:20
  in return or they are
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_00: just giving it to you?
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_03: Um,
• 20:28
  I was given information that my family might be being kept by
• 20:31
  the same people that
• 20:33
  SPEAKER_00: have our friends.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_00: Well, looks like we got another reason to get on it, I guess then, right?
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_01: How do they know that?
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_01: My family's pretty prominent.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but it's rather suspicious.
• 21:03
  They seem to have an idea of who has these people and yet are
• 21:10
  not doing anything about it.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_01: Strange.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_01: Pretty.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_00: It seems like they don't have all the facts though, you know?
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_00: Well, we don't have it.
• 21:29
  all we have is a note for the kidnappers of Belfast so well I
• 21:36
  think if we're
• 21:36
  working together we could probably crack this so did they say
• 21:49
  how they or why they
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_00: have a hint that the kidnappers are the same well just that they
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_00: think that same people to have my family.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_00: Perhaps there are other people here.
• 22:15
  Yeah,
• 22:16
  well,
• 22:16
  then I guess let's do what we need to hear while they they get
• 22:23
  ready.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_00: And we need to go.
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_00: There's a lot more people we need to find than we thought.
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_00: A lot more important people.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_00: Indeed.

  SPEAKER_03: Now,
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_03: while we'd love to be great hosts,
• 22:44
  SPEAKER_03: my brother and I have to go and do some other strategy planning.
• 22:53
  I believe my mother,
• 22:53
  though,
• 22:54
  back there is going to stay with you as well as the general and
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_03: the other two counselors you seem to have met outside of here.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_01: To babysit someone's mom?
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_03: Excuse me, you're not babysitting me.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_03: I am more powerful than the six of you combined.
• 23:16
  SPEAKER_00: So you're babysitting us?
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_01: Big tough grandma.
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_03: I am making sure that our mage can handle
• 23:27
  I guess Spellcast or Healer can handle whatever it is that
• 23:32
  you're having them look at.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, you mean that over there?
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_02: They have names.

  SPEAKER_00: It had wings.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_02: So does Poppy.
• 23:57
  it didn't it did it she she it didn't have wings before and
• 24:02
  then she did and then
• 24:03
  she puked up and then it my wife can grow wings but so you're
• 24:12
  saying that she just
• 24:13
  cast a spell that's how she had wings we don't know yeah that
• 24:21
  that that just just
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_00: we'll just go with that that makes me feel a little bit more comfortable
• 24:27
  SPEAKER_02: It could just be a spell.
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_02: We have no idea.
• 24:30
  SPEAKER_02: That's what we're finding out.
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_03: So you see now Pen,
• 24:36
  Counselor Pendragon has just kind of kicked his feet up and
• 24:39
  he's just puffing out
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_03: of his pipe.
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_03: There's just this trail of smoke just going up above him.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_03: He doesn't seem too concerned about the whole situation.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_02: Sir, there's a miner in here.
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_02: and an animal.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_03: Good way.
• 25:03
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
• 25:09
  General Malachi kind of hops over the table and just kind of
• 25:12
  leans back against it.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_03: He does have one hand casually resting on his the hilt of his sword.
• 25:25
  You see with the healer a couple other individuals came in kind
• 25:30
  of flanking the
• 25:30
  desk and the two head counselor's mother who is one of the
• 25:42
  advisors that's at the
• 25:43
  back is kind of standing up and watching intently Counselor
• 25:49
  Norn has come up with
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_03: the healer very curious about
• 25:55
  SPEAKER_03: the child and the bird and your other concerns that you have brought up.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_02: Where are they in regards to Iris?
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_03: These two right here.
• 26:08
  SPEAKER_02: Can I like shift slightly in front of Iris?
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, we don't have to help you look at her.
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_02: I would like assurances.
• 26:23
  SPEAKER_02: that she will not be harmed by whatever tests you're going to be doing.
• 26:27
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, I'm just here to observe closely.
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_03: The cleric over there is going to be doing the tests.
• 26:34
  If you say she won't be harmed,
• 26:36
  I'm going to assume they'll listen to you.
• 26:37
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah.
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_03: He's just going to scan her nature.
• 26:47
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_02: and she'll step to the side a little bit.
• 26:54
  SPEAKER_02: For her time?
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_02: Ask the nice people what they want.
• 27:01
  SPEAKER_03: Can you, can you, can you come up here, my child?
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_03: As the cleric steps forward.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_03: He steps up.
• 27:14
  SPEAKER_03: You see, which is the holy pennant and places a hand on her head.
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_03: and just bows her head,
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_03: close her eyes,
• 27:27
  SPEAKER_03: and Iris just kind of cranes her neck a little bit and looks back at you.
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_03: You see some smoke start to rise up from the hand.
• 27:55
  SPEAKER_03: Her time?
• 27:59
  Let's wait and find out Just turns back and shakes their head
• 28:11
  at Elish and then turns back
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_03: I don't think this is a child.
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_02: It walks like a child.
• 28:31
  SPEAKER_02: It looks like a child.
• 28:32
  SPEAKER_02: It acts like a child.
• 28:35
  SPEAKER_02: It behaves like a child 80% of the time.
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_00: And the other 20?
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_02: The other 20 could be magic.
• 28:48
  SPEAKER_02: We don't know.
• 28:53
  SPEAKER_00: More than magic, my dear.
• 28:54
  SPEAKER_00: More than magic.
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_02: It could be possession.
• 28:58
  SPEAKER_02: In which case you would be harming an actual child.
• 29:03
  SPEAKER_00: Something is up with the child and that creature is not a bird.
• 29:11
  SPEAKER_00: That is all.
• 29:13
  SPEAKER_02: Something is wrong with the child and it is a bird.
• 29:20
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe we should hear what the lady who says it's not a child has to say.
• 29:27
  SPEAKER_03: Also not a demon.
• 29:34
  SPEAKER_01: You got a lot of knots.
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_01: Do you have an is?
• 29:40
  SPEAKER_03: I do not.
• 29:42
  SPEAKER_03: Something stopped me from seeing the is.
• 29:44
  SPEAKER_01: Was it a demon?
• 29:49
  SPEAKER_03: I just saw two glowing eyes in darkness.
• 29:52
  SPEAKER_01: Sounds like a demon.
• 29:55
  SPEAKER_02: Did it talk to you too?
• 29:57
  SPEAKER_03: No, it just kicked me out.
• 30:00
  SPEAKER_03: Sounds like a demon.
• 30:03
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe you're not chosen then.
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_03: Do not see the same two glowing eyes that you saw in the darkness.
• 30:13
  SPEAKER_02: Would I know that?
• 30:13
  SPEAKER_03: Because she still had a hood.
• 30:16
  SPEAKER_03: So you're
• 30:18
  You would think that it's either one or the other of the two
• 30:23
  giant entities that
• 30:24
  SPEAKER_03: you've come across.
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_03: What is her relation?
• 30:33
  SPEAKER_03: To what?
• 30:35
  SPEAKER_03: Someone in her family.
• 30:38
  She says her parents are dead and her whole village was burnt
• 30:42
  to the ground.
• 30:43
  SPEAKER_02: And she says she's the niece of the Iron Hand.
• 30:50
  SPEAKER_03: His nature is also a mystery Uh huh Has anyone seen Iron Hand?
• 31:02
  We saw him on the airship Let me see your bird Be nice to him,
• 31:18
  he's fragile
• 31:20
  and she will take him off her shoulder as you approach her hand
• 31:25
  his eyes glow red
• 31:27
  maybe that's not a good idea actually why he's just a bird he's
• 31:37
  just a bird yes I
• 31:39
  don't think he likes clerics he might fight I mean it's just a
• 31:45
  bird fight he'll be
• 31:46
  SPEAKER_02: fine his eyes stop going red when he's back yeah
• 31:50
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 31:51
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think he likes you.
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, it doesn't matter.
• 31:55
  SPEAKER_01: He's just a bird.
• 31:56
  SPEAKER_01: Birds still have to go to the vet even though they're birds.
• 31:59
  SPEAKER_03: She stops clutching her pendant and puts out both hands.
• 32:04
  SPEAKER_02: I try again.
• 32:07
  SPEAKER_03: His eyes start glowing red.
• 32:08
  SPEAKER_03: And the third one opens and it's also glowing red.
• 32:11
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I really don't think he likes you.
• 32:13
  SPEAKER_02: That's so interesting.
• 32:15
  SPEAKER_03: I've never seen a bird do that.
• 32:17
  SPEAKER_02: He's a very special bird.
• 32:20
  SPEAKER_03: May I?
• 32:22
  SPEAKER_03: Elish holds out a tail.
• 32:25
  SPEAKER_02: I try to guide him to the tail.
• 32:27
  SPEAKER_03: He hops up on the tail.
• 32:28
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 32:31
  SPEAKER_03: Fascinating creature.
• 32:37
  SPEAKER_02: I believe he's a Primorgie, which is a special pigeon.
• 32:42
  SPEAKER_03: Imbued with the primordial energies.
• 32:49
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe while you are waiting for some planning to happen,
• 32:53
  SPEAKER_03: you should bring him to the founding temple.
• 32:57
  SPEAKER_02: And take him back.
• 32:59
  SPEAKER_02: What is the founding temple?
• 33:02
  SPEAKER_03: It's the first temple.
• 33:05
  SPEAKER_02: I got that from the name.
• 33:07
  SPEAKER_03: The first temple, at least after, you know, the war.
• 33:14
  SPEAKER_02: So what would they want with Thessence?
• 33:18
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, not bring him there to see the clerics.
• 33:23
  SPEAKER_03: Bring him there to feel the energy.
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_03: It's not holy energy.
• 33:29
  SPEAKER_03: They say the Tarnning Temple is holy energy,
• 33:31
  SPEAKER_03: and it is for the most part,
• 33:34
  SPEAKER_03: but there's a large concentration of primordial energy as well.
• 33:41
  SPEAKER_02: What does the cleric think of this?
• 33:48
  SPEAKER_03: I'm just here to do what he tells me to do What does your god say?
• 33:58
  Pray for that and then we'd be here for an hour and it's a
• 34:00
  whole thing What do you
• 34:08
  SPEAKER_02: think of this based on what you've seen?
• 34:14
  SPEAKER_03: Is it a bird that's magical?
• 34:18
  Can I,
• 34:18
  like,
• 34:19
  cover Vesson's eyes and,
• 34:22
  like,
• 34:23
  hold it in the direction of the cleric?
• 34:26
  SPEAKER_02: Do I feel like- is there, like, a glowing against my hand?
• 34:30
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 34:31
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 34:31
  SPEAKER_02: Now bring him back.
• 34:35
  SPEAKER_02: You really- you really- you wouldn't like him when he gets mad.
• 34:39
  SPEAKER_03: I'm sure we can handle it.
• 34:41
  SPEAKER_03: And by we, I mean him.
• 34:43
  SPEAKER_02: And them and- they point to- You know, I feel like they- they hit first.
• 34:49
  And then ask questions I have plenty of immobilization spells
• 34:56
  So we'd be fine Be
• 34:59

  SPEAKER_02: He tried to eat me.
• 35:22
  SPEAKER_02: That was a misunderstanding.
• 35:25
  SPEAKER_03: How?
• 35:25
  SPEAKER_03: He's so tiny.
• 35:26
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, I know she's tiny, but she's not that tiny.
• 35:31
  SPEAKER_02: I told you he's special.
• 35:36
  SPEAKER_02: Do we risk angering Thesson?
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 35:46
  SPEAKER_01: Put the demon bird in her hand.
• 35:50
  SPEAKER_03: She holds out, she clutches her pendant again and holds out her hand.
• 35:55
  SPEAKER_02: She's gonna cradle this in against her chest.
• 35:57
  SPEAKER_03: She begins, she puts her head down and just begins mumbling.
• 36:02
  SPEAKER_02: It's Elish?
• 36:04
  SPEAKER_03: No, this is the cleric.

• 40:40
  SPEAKER_03: One on the head,

• 40:47
  that just swore around.
• 40:52
  SPEAKER_03: This is not over.
• 40:57
  SPEAKER_03: And then she throws up.
• 41:00
  SPEAKER_03: That's it.
• 41:02
  SPEAKER_03: And then she collapses.
• 41:04
  SPEAKER_02: I grab him away from her and take a few steps back.
• 41:09
  SPEAKER_03: He's passed out.
• 41:11
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 41:13
  SPEAKER_03: she's passed out.
• 41:15
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 41:19
  SPEAKER_02: So that's new, by the way.
• 41:21
  SPEAKER_00: That was fun and exciting.
• 41:24
  SPEAKER_00: That's not new.
• 41:26
  SPEAKER_00: That's not new.
• 41:27
  SPEAKER_00: That's just a different way of the old craziness happening.
• 41:31
  SPEAKER_00: Not new.
• 41:31
  SPEAKER_02: She never talked like that when she sucked in Thessen.
• 41:37
  SPEAKER_00: Before?
• 41:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 41:39
  SPEAKER_00: Which means it's getting worse.
• 41:42
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 41:43
  SPEAKER_01: Breachers think we're battling it.
• 41:45
  SPEAKER_01: We don't even know who or what it is.
• 41:51
  SPEAKER_01: Over.
• 41:55
  SPEAKER_03: Hey guys,
• 41:56
  SPEAKER_03: quick reminder to leave a like,
• 41:58
  SPEAKER_03: a comment,
• 41:59
  SPEAKER_03: and don't forget to follow or subscribe to us.
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_03: Thanks!
• 42:09
  SPEAKER_01: We're not even trying to battle it.
• 42:11
  SPEAKER_01: Y'nor won't let us kill them.
• 42:15
  SPEAKER_03: I don't think you can kill them.
• 42:19
  That's a bad...
• 42:23
  Yeah,
• 42:23
  remember they were both brought to zero hit points when they
• 42:25
  came back?
• 42:27
  SPEAKER_03: I think... there's something very old tied to their souls.
• 42:37
  SPEAKER_02: Is it split in two?
• 42:38
  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 42:43
  SPEAKER_03: It's more like a door with a lot of keyholes.
• 42:46
  SPEAKER_03: I think that's the best way I can describe it.
• 42:49
  SPEAKER_02: That's a really shitty door.
• 42:52
  SPEAKER_03: There's a lot of keys.
• 42:55
  SPEAKER_02: Evidently, I found two.
• 42:57
  SPEAKER_02: By accident.
• 43:00
  SPEAKER_01: That's why you never buy your souls secondhand.
• 43:03
  SPEAKER_01: Always buy them new.
• 43:05
  SPEAKER_01: What is three?
• 43:08
  Well,
• 43:08
  I'd have to assume that anyone that can interact with Thesson
• 43:12
  is a key.
• 43:14
  SPEAKER_01: Ooh Interact Wait a minute That's pretty broad I'm a key?
• 43:23
  SPEAKER_03: In this analogy,
• 43:25
  SPEAKER_03: yes I am Simplifying the potential of this theory Touch me,
• 43:31
  SPEAKER_02: and she shoves her hand out Who?
• 43:35
  SPEAKER_03: To the cleric Because this is Elish explaining this theory Yeah,
• 43:39
  SPEAKER_02: I know,
• 43:39
  SPEAKER_02: I shoved my hand at the cleric Just...
• 43:44
  SPEAKER_03: You feel holy light.
• 43:47
  SPEAKER_02: Nothing new.
• 43:47
  SPEAKER_03: And then holy light amplifies because it begins washing over you as well.
• 43:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 43:53
  SPEAKER_03: And then just glowing holy light.
• 43:56
  SPEAKER_02: Nothing new for me.
• 43:57
  SPEAKER_03: No.
• 44:01
  But you're holding out the hand that had the eyeballs,
• 44:03
  not the hand that had the tattoo.
• 44:09
  SPEAKER_03: Both at the same time.
• 44:10
  SPEAKER_02: I shove both hands out.
• 44:12
  SPEAKER_02: I grab her other hand with my other hand.
• 44:15
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 44:18
  SPEAKER_03: So, Hakim, your detect magic is up this whole time.
• 44:28
  SPEAKER_00: It is, yep.
• 44:30
  While you see the holy light from the cleric and you see the
• 44:34
  initial holy light
• 44:35
  SPEAKER_03: from your friend off of her right side that has the,
• 44:42
  SPEAKER_03: her left side that has the
• 44:44
  tattoo not the right side which gets all the eyeballs the left
• 44:48
  side that has the
• 44:49
  dark tattoo you see darkness seeping in from the earth up into
• 44:55
  her arm and kind of
• 44:56
  mingling with the holy light again it seeps up from the ground
• 45:07
  yes so it comes out
• 45:09
  SPEAKER_00: of the ground and goes into her
• 45:12
  SPEAKER_03: energy that you're sensing is.
• 45:16
  SPEAKER_00: As in again, it doesn't originate from her.
• 45:18
  SPEAKER_00: It literally originates from below and it goes up and into her.
• 45:26
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 45:28
  SPEAKER_03: It's never done that before.
• 45:30
  SPEAKER_03: That part is new.
• 45:34
  SPEAKER_00: Can I relay that to the cleric and to Elish in here?
• 45:40
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 45:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I just want to make sure that they're aware of that.
• 45:46
  SPEAKER_00: And that,
• 45:47
  SPEAKER_00: again,
• 45:47
  SPEAKER_00: Joaquin would say that he's never seen it do that before,
• 45:49
  SPEAKER_00: so that's definitely new.
• 45:54
  SPEAKER_00: But it's clearly coming from someone.
• 45:58
  SPEAKER_03: Then the dark begins trying to sap itself onto the cleric,
• 46:04
  SPEAKER_03: and then you see steam rising up from between your hands.
• 46:09
  SPEAKER_02: Does it hurt?
• 46:11
  It's a little uncomfortable I grip her tighter You see it
• 46:17
  begins seeping up her arm
• 46:19
  now And she's like Convulsing Oh god She comes over and just
• 46:32
  Glowing hands Smacks
• 46:33
  SPEAKER_03: her hands And then just very quickly Pits her pennant
• 46:41
  SPEAKER_03: and hits your pendant.
• 46:46
  Uh,
• 46:46
  Wakim,
• 46:47
  if Detect Magic could be blinded,
• 46:50
  uh,
• 46:50
  you would feel blinded for a moment.
• 46:54
  SPEAKER_03: Like a camera flash in your eyes.
• 46:59
  SPEAKER_00: Ah!
• 47:00
  SPEAKER_03: It's all back.
• 47:00
  SPEAKER_03: What the hell?
• 47:02
  SPEAKER_02: What the hell was that?
• 47:05
  SPEAKER_02: Did that hurt?
• 47:09
  SPEAKER_03: There's a little searing.
• 47:13
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, a little searing.
• 47:14
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 47:19
  SPEAKER_03: Like something got rapidly pushed out of you.
• 47:26
  SPEAKER_03: On an energetic level.
• 47:30
  SPEAKER_02: That was uncomfortable, sir.
• 47:33
  SPEAKER_03: You see the clerics passed out on the floor now.
• 47:38
  SPEAKER_02: What does that mean?
• 47:41
  SPEAKER_03: I...
• 47:43
  It seems So there's a door And there's a lot of keyholes And
• 47:57
  you have found two
• 47:59
  keys Okay But every door needs a locksmith Okay You're the
• 48:09
  locksmith I'm a Not the
• 48:12
  SPEAKER_03: key
• 48:14
  SPEAKER_02: What does that even mean?
• 48:17
  SPEAKER_02: Locksmiths make locks Or break Am I supposed to fix them?
• 48:26
  SPEAKER_02: They're not the lock Where the fuck is the lock?
• 48:34
  SPEAKER_02: Do I need to make more keys?
• 48:39
  SPEAKER_03: I don't think you're making the keys
• 48:41
  SPEAKER_02: Locksmiths make keys.
• 48:43
  SPEAKER_03: They also find them.
• 48:46
  SPEAKER_03: If the lock is really old.
• 48:49
  SPEAKER_02: What keys do I need?
• 48:51
  SPEAKER_03: Don't know what it is that you're looking for.
• 48:57
  SPEAKER_02: Wakeem, do you understand any of this?
• 48:59
  SPEAKER_02: He's making no sense.
• 49:04
  SPEAKER_02: Locks and keys.
• 49:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 49:10
  Do I need to make any sort of like insight check or I mean Uh
• 49:18
  It's not insight
• 49:19
  unless you're trying to see if he's Purposefully being dense No
• 49:24
  I guess again He
• 49:24
  SPEAKER_00: doesn't really get the lock You could make like Investigation maybe
• 49:39
  investigation or a comment but they're the same for you so like
• 49:43
  it doesn't matter
• 49:45
  okay um yeah I feel stuff with magics so let's try and feel it
• 49:51
  through with the
• 49:51
  magics oh 22 okay feeling something you didn't do much reading
• 50:05
  in your studies
• 50:06
  SPEAKER_03: though you did more
• 50:08
  SPEAKER_03: practical studies with your magic.
• 50:11
  SPEAKER_00: I heard every third word in class.
• 50:15
  You relied on Ida and Ynor for the help with studying as far as
• 50:24
  it came to reading and whatnot.
• 50:27
  SPEAKER_03: But in practical applications, you excelled.
• 50:32
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I know how it feels.
• 50:33
  SPEAKER_00: I just...
• 50:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no, I don't do that.
• 50:40
  SPEAKER_03: So you don't fully understand what this analogy could be hinting to.
• 50:47
  However,
• 50:48
  the way it feels is something is either trying to come back,
• 51:02
  be created,
• 51:04
  or recreated,
• 51:07
  SPEAKER_03: or resummoned.
• 51:09
  SPEAKER_03: Something is moving pieces together for a reason.
• 51:16
  SPEAKER_03: And ultimately, those pieces will be attracted to each other.
• 51:23
  And it seems that Yenor is one of these magnetized pieces that
• 51:30
  pulls smaller ones together.
• 51:37
  SPEAKER_02: so I just have to collect them.
• 51:42
  SPEAKER_00: You're essentially a lightning rod for bad shit.
• 51:45
  SPEAKER_00: Bad shit's gonna find you.
• 51:47
  SPEAKER_00: Bad juju.
• 51:47
  SPEAKER_00: You got the bad juju.
• 51:49
  SPEAKER_01: You found me.
• 51:50
  SPEAKER_00: Doesn't mean it's bad.
• 51:53
  SPEAKER_00: It's some kind of juju.
• 51:55
  SPEAKER_00: Something is working its way through you.
• 52:01
  SPEAKER_00: And I don't know.
• 52:03
  SPEAKER_00: What I've seen
• 52:05
  SPEAKER_00: Doesn't look like it could be good,
• 52:07
  especially if darkness is coming up from the ground and he kind
• 52:10
  of like points to
• 52:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yonora's feet.
• 52:14
  SPEAKER_00: I'm calling it bad juju, so.
• 52:16
  SPEAKER_01: But I'm a precious angel.
• 52:21
  SPEAKER_00: For this moment, we are not talking about you.
• 52:25
  SPEAKER_00: Talking about Yonora's own bad juju.
• 52:29
  SPEAKER_00: And eyeballs.
• 52:31
  SPEAKER_02: This means that we have to keep Thesson and
• 52:35
  SPEAKER_02: Iris around.
• 52:36
  SPEAKER_00: It means I will not touch those things ever again.
• 52:41
  SPEAKER_03: You probably shouldn't let them be alone together.
• 52:46
  SPEAKER_02: That's fair.
• 52:48
  SPEAKER_03: No more joining?
• 52:53
  SPEAKER_03: The next time might be bad.
• 52:55
  I don't think you have a choice to be in the room together
• 52:59
  because I can't leave
• 53:00
  SPEAKER_02: Thesson anywhere that Iris might be.
• 53:03
  SPEAKER_02: So Thesson has to stay with me.
• 53:07
  SPEAKER_03: I set a room alone together.
• 53:09
  SPEAKER_03: If they're supervised, that's fine.
• 53:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yep, that's gonna be really chaotic when traveling.
• 53:21
  SPEAKER_03: Always leave her under the care of somebody else.
• 53:29
  SPEAKER_02: Is that a good idea?
• 53:36
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not her current guardian Nobody can block our demon What'd you say?
• 53:41
  Nobody can take care of our demon Go fuck it up We could maybe
• 53:52
  see about leaving
• 53:53
  SPEAKER_02: her with Kaida But then we wouldn't have Kaida with us Remember,
• 54:01
  SPEAKER_03: Kaida wasn't built for long adventures Yeah
• 54:10
  SPEAKER_03: Now remember, we do have a bunch of guilds here and some need some help.
• 54:18
  SPEAKER_01: Are you suggesting we leave her with the guild for child labor?
• 54:24
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe...
• 54:28
  SPEAKER_03: Who I assume is your wife,
• 54:29
  SPEAKER_03: Kaida,
• 54:30
  could take her with to one of the guilds and help them with
• 54:34
  whatever they need help
• 54:35
  SPEAKER_03: with in exchange for protection and room and board.
• 54:40
  SPEAKER_02: What kind of guilds?
• 54:44
  All kinds of guilds Trade guilds Merchant guilds Mercenary
• 54:51
  guilds All lesser guilds
• 55:01
  All guilds that are trying to thrive with the Onyx Accord in
• 55:05
  disarray right now
• 55:08
  SPEAKER_02: That's fair
• 55:11
  SPEAKER_03: So, set up your own.
• 55:19
  SPEAKER_02: A buff table, what's that thing?
• 55:22
  SPEAKER_03: A bastion?
• 55:23
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 55:25
  SPEAKER_02: How do you make one of those?
• 55:27
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know, let me look at my new digital DM screen.
• 55:32
  SPEAKER_03: Let's see...
• 55:44
  SPEAKER_03: So basically, according to rules as written, you're granted Bastion.
• 55:50
  SPEAKER_03: That's not how I would run it,
• 55:52
  SPEAKER_03: because that doesn't make sense,
• 55:53
  SPEAKER_03: that you're just given a Bastion.
• 55:58
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, that's fair.
• 56:01
  SPEAKER_03: But basically, you get a space.
• 56:07
  SPEAKER_03: You can design the space in the facilities.
• 56:12
  SPEAKER_03: You level up because it grows with your levels.
• 56:14
  SPEAKER_03: You can hire NPCs to work there.
• 56:19
  You can have it do certain things based on the facilities that
• 56:23
  you build into it.
• 56:30
  SPEAKER_02: So what would it take to acquire one?
• 56:37
  SPEAKER_03: the location.
• 56:39
  You have a few that you could use and not all of them are
• 56:42
  inside of this city.
• 56:47
  SPEAKER_03: Gold.
• 56:48
  SPEAKER_02: How much?
• 56:54
  SPEAKER_03: Depends on...
• 56:59
  SPEAKER_03: It starts at 500 gold.
• 57:04
  SPEAKER_03: And it's a very cramped space.
• 57:06
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 57:08
  SPEAKER_03: and then that takes 20 days to build.
• 57:12
  And then it gets a little more roomy for a thousand gold and
• 57:16
  that takes an additional 45 days.
• 57:20
  SPEAKER_03: Or an additional 25 days.
• 57:24
  SPEAKER_03: Oh.
• 57:27
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, wait.
• 57:27
  SPEAKER_03: So Facility Cranber Region.
• 57:31
  SPEAKER_03: I'm sorry, I misread that.
• 57:35
  SPEAKER_03: So you start with
• 57:39
  SPEAKER_03: one room, one facility.
• 57:42
  SPEAKER_03: And you can choose how big that facility is to be.
• 57:46
  SPEAKER_03: Cramped, roomy, or vast.
• 57:48
  SPEAKER_03: Cramped is 500 gold, roomy is 1000, and vast is 3000.
• 57:51
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 57:53
  SPEAKER_03: And then 20 days, 45 days, or 125 days to build said space.
• 58:00
  SPEAKER_02: And you said there is a spot here?
• 58:03
  SPEAKER_03: It sounds like that the council might be able to
• 58:08
  SPEAKER_03: Pull some strings to get you into a pre-existing building.
• 58:15
  SPEAKER_03: It might cost a little bit more because it's already built.
• 58:21
  But some extra gold along with some magic could outfit the room
• 58:26
  or rooms a little faster.
• 58:31
  SPEAKER_02: We talking like 5k?
• 58:35
  That depends on how many rooms,
• 58:37
  how big of a building you're looking for.
• 58:42
  SPEAKER_03: Do you want to be tied to a city again?
• 58:47
  SPEAKER_02: We can put a teleportation thing into it, couldn't we?
• 58:54
  SPEAKER_03: They allow you to.
• 58:58
  SPEAKER_02: Hide it in the basement.
• 59:13
  technically your group of five would be able to have five
• 59:26
  facility spaces currently
• 59:30
  based on how Bastions are set up and you are all that's the
• 59:38
  wrong one you are all
• 59:40
  SPEAKER_03: what level 10
• 59:43
  yeah uh so you would have a fair a decent choice of rooms to
• 59:52
  make those spaces so
• 59:59
  based on that for example the house you're currently in could
• 1:00:01
  be turned into a
• 1:00:02
  bastion it'd be a little cramped because it's a small house and
• 1:00:05
  there's not much
• 1:00:05
  SPEAKER_03: room for expansion
• 1:00:17
  SPEAKER_02: Is there any rules saying we can only have one?
• 1:00:20
  SPEAKER_03: Bastion?
• 1:00:21
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah Each character can have their own Bastion Okay So no,
• 1:00:32
  there are no rules saying that you can only have one Would you
• 1:00:41
  guys want to create
• 1:00:42
  SPEAKER_02: one?
• 1:00:44
  SPEAKER_02: And leave Iris behind?
• 1:00:51
  SPEAKER_01: It sounds like a plan She's pretty annoying What did the boys think?
• 1:01:08
  I'll go with it
• 1:01:21
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 1:01:25
  SPEAKER_03: I'm good.
• 1:01:28
  SPEAKER_02: How much would it be to buy the house?
• 1:01:31
  SPEAKER_03: You want to do it in the house?
• 1:01:35
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, it's already built.
• 1:01:37
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, you have no room for expansion.
• 1:01:40
  SPEAKER_02: Isn't it in the city?
• 1:01:42
  SPEAKER_03: Just about the middle.
• 1:01:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so it's centrally located.
• 1:01:46
  SPEAKER_02: There's a basement, right?
• 1:01:50
  SPEAKER_03: that you've found yet.
• 1:01:51
  SPEAKER_02: Not that we've found yet.
• 1:01:53
  SPEAKER_02: Above table is their basement.
• 1:01:54
  SPEAKER_03: No.
• 1:01:55
  SPEAKER_02: No?
• 1:01:57
  SPEAKER_02: These city houses, man, they're never any good.
• 1:01:59
  SPEAKER_03: There's a crawlspace.
• 1:02:02
  SPEAKER_02: Gross.
• 1:02:04
  SPEAKER_02: Um... Where would a small one be?
• 1:02:10
  SPEAKER_03: Well, let me pop over to... real quick, and I can show you.
• 1:02:20
  SPEAKER_03: once it loads.
• 1:02:28
  SPEAKER_03: Oh God, why is that so zoomed in?
• 1:02:31
  SPEAKER_03: So you guys are like in this area here.
• 1:02:35
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:02:35
  SPEAKER_03: Currently, that's where the house is.
• 1:02:36
  SPEAKER_03: It's like in that quarter.
• 1:02:40
  SPEAKER_03: You would be the
• 1:02:47
  So in the Guild Workers' Ward is where all the guilds are and
• 1:02:51
  there's probably some
• 1:02:52
  SPEAKER_03: buildings down there that are available The Holy Knight Sanctum,
• 1:03:01
  there may be some buildings up there available as well They're
• 1:03:04
  gonna have for
• 1:03:05
  SPEAKER_02: expansion or no?
• 1:03:06
  SPEAKER_03: Yes,
• 1:03:07
  the difference is the Guild Workers' Ward has guilds there
• 1:03:10
  already If you were to
• 1:03:12
  SPEAKER_03: make friends and allies with those
• 1:03:18
  you may not have to rely on another government as much up here
• 1:03:26
  is military
• 1:03:29
  controlled it's where all the all of their military personnel
• 1:03:36
  are is there a decent
• 1:03:38
  SPEAKER_02: spot in the guild workers ward?

• 1:18:13
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.

  SPEAKER_02: Just
• 1:18:26
  SPEAKER_02: I don't.
• 1:18:30
  SPEAKER_02: She spoke in a voice?
• 1:18:31
  SPEAKER_03: That's how most people speak.
• 1:18:37
  SPEAKER_02: She spoke in an ancient voice.
• 1:18:40
  SPEAKER_03: That's not how most people speak.
• 1:18:43
  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 1:18:53
  SPEAKER_03: What triggered this vocal change?
• 1:18:58
  SPEAKER_02: Bird time.

  SPEAKER_03: So we've been instructed to not have her have bird time again?
• 1:19:07
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, she's not allowed to be alone with us then.
• 1:19:11
  SPEAKER_02: Like ever again.
• 1:19:16
  SPEAKER_02: Apparently something's trying to escape or be created somehow.
• 1:19:23
  SPEAKER_00: Cleric said something about a hooded figure with red eyes.
• 1:19:28
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:19:31
  SPEAKER_03: Again with this hooded figure.
• 1:19:37
  Right.
• 1:19:43
  You see the guards have left me alone so I guess they've gotten
• 1:19:45
  their orders to just stand down.
• 1:19:52
  SPEAKER_03: Who's, are we all going down house hunting or are we, what are we doing?
• 1:19:57
  SPEAKER_03: I guess it's not really just a house.
• 1:20:08
  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 1:20:13
  So are we all doing this or does anyone else have anything else
• 1:20:17
  that they need to
• 1:20:18
  SPEAKER_03: do because we are
• 1:20:22
  SPEAKER_03: over here.
• 1:20:25
  SPEAKER_02: And we gotta get down over here.

  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no, no.
• 1:20:37
  SPEAKER_00: Let's go buy a house.
• 1:20:44

  SPEAKER_00: Or drinks?
• 1:20:53
  SPEAKER_02: Horse and carriage.

  SPEAKER_02: Big enough for all of us or no?
• 1:21:40
  SPEAKER_03: No.
• 1:21:41
  SPEAKER_03: Cause you also have Poppy.
• 1:21:44
  SPEAKER_02: Poppy can fly.
• 1:21:52
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe you could squeeze all of you in some of the larger ones.
• 1:22:01
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, uh... We could fit you in this wagon here.
• 1:22:08
  SPEAKER_03: How many are there?
• 1:22:11
  SPEAKER_03: Is anyone who...
• 1:22:14
  SPEAKER_03: I can't fit the bird.
• 1:22:16
  SPEAKER_02: I can fly behind.
• 1:22:18
  SPEAKER_02: If Kaida takes Thesson.
• 1:22:21
  SPEAKER_02: And I'll fly with...

  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 1:22:42

  SPEAKER_00: His third eye pops out quite frequently.
• 1:22:50
  SPEAKER_02: There.
• 1:22:51
  SPEAKER_02: That could just be because he's a Primorgie.
• 1:22:55
  SPEAKER_02: Do you know the intimate anatomy of a Primorgie?
• 1:22:59
  SPEAKER_02: How do you know they don't have a third eye?

• 1:51:33
  SPEAKER_03: that those drugs are being tracked.
• 1:51:34
  SPEAKER_03: I hope that they come to find my warehouses.
• 1:51:40
  SPEAKER_02: I told them that they knew it was being tracked.
• 1:51:42
  SPEAKER_03: There'll be a surprise for them waiting.
• 1:51:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, listen, they don't listen to me.
• 1:51:48
  SPEAKER_02: You're the person who's been doing this.
• 1:51:50
  SPEAKER_03: Why would they listen to you?
• 1:51:51
  SPEAKER_03: They're arrogant in their power.
• 1:51:57
  SPEAKER_03: See, we could work together.
• 1:52:00
  SPEAKER_03: I made you this offer before.
• 1:52:03
  SPEAKER_02: How many people do you kill with your shit?
• 1:52:07
  I don't kill anybody with it It is their choice if they use it
• 1:52:11
  or not You supply it
• 1:52:13
  knowing what'll happen I respond to the market if the market
• 1:52:18
  didn't want it anymore
• 1:52:18
  You're just as bad as a murderer If the market didn't want it
• 1:52:22
  anymore In fact you
• 1:52:22
  are one I wouldn't make it anymore It's not like I fly around
• 1:52:27
  wiping out cities No?
• 1:52:31
  SPEAKER_02: No
• 1:52:34
  SPEAKER_02: Do you know who does?
• 1:52:39
  I bet it makes it real inconvenient when they do that and it
• 1:52:42
  cuts into your supply
• 1:52:44
  SPEAKER_02: and your buyers Nah No?
• 1:52:48
  They're usually cities that are becoming a nuisance So someone
• 1:52:53
  you work with?
• 1:52:54
  SPEAKER_03: But we have a mutual understanding now You and I or you and him?
• 1:53:07
  This mutual understanding is if our collective can keep control
• 1:53:14
  of the interested
• 1:53:16
  SPEAKER_03: parties,
• 1:53:22
  SPEAKER_03: then there doesn't have to be the destruction of any more cities.
• 1:53:31
  SPEAKER_02: And what of castles and homesteads
• 1:53:36
  SPEAKER_02: of...
• 1:53:37
  I don't know of any castles that are currently being destroyed
• 1:53:42
  by flying entities.
• 1:53:44
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't specify flying.
• 1:53:46
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, I did.
• 1:53:51
  SPEAKER_02: Would you happen to know where a friend of mine is?
• 1:53:54
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know any friends, unfortunately.
• 1:53:59
  SPEAKER_02: Would you like to?
• 1:54:01
  SPEAKER_03: No, my time's about up.
• 1:54:04
  SPEAKER_03: But, uh,
• 1:54:08
  SPEAKER_03: Enjoy your new house.
• 1:54:11
  SPEAKER_02: Bro, did you have a point?
• 1:54:15
  SPEAKER_02: He wanted to tell us that he's here.
• 1:54:17
  SPEAKER_03: We already knew that.
• 1:54:19
  SPEAKER_02: He was like five blocks back too.
• 1:54:23
  SPEAKER_03: And time seems to resume back to what it was.
• 1:54:29
  SPEAKER_02: The flare goes back up.
• 1:54:31
  SPEAKER_03: The flare starts coming back down.
• 1:54:34
  SPEAKER_03: And the storage warehouse you saw open with crates being unloaded.
• 1:54:39
  SPEAKER_03: It's closed again.
• 1:54:44
  SPEAKER_01: Whoever the weird demon man is, he's a bitch.
• 1:54:49
  SPEAKER_02: Are the guys on the floor still?
• 1:54:52
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 1:54:52
  SPEAKER_02: I'll go check on them.
• 1:54:54
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 1:54:59
  SPEAKER_03: Breathing.
• 1:55:00
  SPEAKER_02: Can I slam Leon hands on them?
• 1:55:02
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 1:55:10
  SPEAKER_02: I try to do five each.
• 1:55:14
  If you hear as their necks snap back into place,
• 1:55:22
  they are breathing again.
• 1:55:24
  SPEAKER_03: They're still passed out.
• 1:55:25
  SPEAKER_02: I do another five each.
• 1:55:30
  SPEAKER_03: They're still passed out.
• 1:55:32
  SPEAKER_03: They're not.
• 1:55:33
  SPEAKER_03: They're just passed out.
• 1:55:34
  SPEAKER_02: Can I drag them to a wall?
• 1:55:37
  SPEAKER_03: Sure.
• 1:55:40
  SPEAKER_02: Sit them up against the wall Do they look fine?
• 1:55:45
  SPEAKER_03: I mean,
• 1:55:47
  SPEAKER_03: they look a little beat up,
• 1:55:48
  SPEAKER_02: but Is there any reason why they're still unconscious that I can see?
• 1:55:55
  SPEAKER_03: They got hit pretty hard Is it?
• 1:56:01
  SPEAKER_02: It's just Yeah Okay Would my thing still be active?
• 1:56:09
  SPEAKER_03: Hmm
• 1:56:11
  To check thoughts It's up to a minute No Okay Unless the
• 1:56:31
  restoration doesn't work
• 1:56:48
  I asked Kyda if she knows of anything to wake him up I think
• 1:56:53
  they'll just wake up
• 1:56:54
  SPEAKER_03: on their own Yeah,
• 1:56:57
  I wasn't done with my questions though I think we should find a
• 1:57:05
  different warehouse
• 1:57:12
  SPEAKER_03: Different how?
• 1:57:14
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, one that's not up the street from a sniffle shade drug dealer?
• 1:57:18
  SPEAKER_03: That's a fair assumption.
• 1:57:26
  SPEAKER_03: We're gonna have to wander for a couple blocks, though.
• 1:57:29
  SPEAKER_01: Might be easier to keep an eye on them this way.
• 1:57:34
  SPEAKER_01: Surveillance?
• 1:57:35
  SPEAKER_01: Stakeout?
• 1:57:37
  SPEAKER_01: What do you do to that stuff, right?
• 1:57:40
  SPEAKER_02: I do, but the plan is we're not gonna be here.
• 1:57:44
  SPEAKER_02: My wife and an eight year old are gonna be here.
• 1:57:49
  SPEAKER_01: Perfect cover.
• 1:57:53
  And when they try to do something to my wife and eight year old
• 1:57:56
  and I'm not here?
• 1:57:57
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, why would they?
• 1:57:59
  SPEAKER_01: They're just a wife and an eight year old.
• 1:58:02
  SPEAKER_02: Because they're the wife and eight year old of a sniffle shade detective?
• 1:58:07
  SPEAKER_01: Well, stop saying it out loud in the neighborhood!
• 1:58:11
  SPEAKER_01: Their boss already knows!
• 1:58:19
  SPEAKER_01: I don't believe him.
• 1:58:20
  SPEAKER_03: Just offered you another deal.
• 1:58:23
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that I can't take.
• 1:58:33
  SPEAKER_02: What was essentially the deal?
• 1:58:37
  SPEAKER_02: Then I just let him do what he wants, right?
• 1:58:39
  SPEAKER_03: And help him.
• 1:58:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:58:41
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:58:42
  SPEAKER_02: How does he want me to help with drugs?
• 1:58:45
  SPEAKER_03: He didn't tell you how to help him, he just said help him.
• 1:58:49
  SPEAKER_02: And left me no way to contact him.
• 1:58:51
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know, what does everyone else think?
• 1:59:15
  SPEAKER_01: and I think he's a bitch.
• 1:59:19
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, sorry, we're all together, right?
• 1:59:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:59:24
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, just wanted to make sure.
• 1:59:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, I don't like that guy.
• 1:59:30
  SPEAKER_00: He definitely sounded shady as fuck.
• 1:59:46
  I mean You do want to find out where the source of the Stiffle
• 1:59:53
  Shade comes from I
• 1:59:54
  mean I understand you want security too but like Can't have
• 2:00:01
  best of both worlds so
• 2:00:03
  you gotta choose security or Stiffle Shade I think you're also
• 2:00:07
  worrying a little
• 2:00:08
  bit too much about Kaida who can take care of herself Not
• 2:00:14
  against power armor
• 2:00:18
  SPEAKER_02: You know, or throws your hand out.
• 2:00:19
  SPEAKER_02: See?
• 2:00:22
  SPEAKER_02: And she'll be defending an eight-year-old.
• 2:00:24
  SPEAKER_03: I think the eight-year-old can take care of herself.
• 2:00:29
  SPEAKER_00: Wait, you're talking about the child that's not a child, right?
• 2:00:32
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 2:00:34
  SPEAKER_02: Do we risk it?
• 2:00:36
  Because if she gets fucked up,
• 2:00:38
  there's no telling what she'll do to Kaida.
• 2:00:42
  SPEAKER_02: And then Kaida will be fighting on two fronts.
• 2:00:45
  SPEAKER_00: I mean,
• 2:00:46
  SPEAKER_00: you're the one that wants to leave your wife alone with a demon child,
• 2:00:49
  SPEAKER_00: so...
• 2:00:50
  SPEAKER_00: Who else is gonna want her?
• 2:00:53
  SPEAKER_00: We can bring her with!
• 2:00:55
  SPEAKER_02: You wanna have her on the boat with us?
• 2:00:59
  SPEAKER_00: He minor illusions, two big no signs.
• 2:01:04
  SPEAKER_02: My point exactly.
• 2:01:10
  SPEAKER_03: I also won't be alone the whole time.
• 2:01:14
  SPEAKER_03: If we can...
• 2:01:15
  SPEAKER_03: visit some of these guilds and make some friends.
• 2:01:17
  SPEAKER_03: We might have some help.
• 2:01:24
  SPEAKER_02: That's fair.
• 2:01:31
  SPEAKER_00: I think a more secure location would be better.
• 2:01:37
  SPEAKER_03: Well,
• 2:01:38
  SPEAKER_03: if we keep walking down here,
• 2:01:39
  SPEAKER_03: I believe there's some locations that are still within a few blocks of
• 2:01:47
  the criminals,
• 2:01:48
  but also within a few blocks of the guilds that have been
• 2:01:52
  endorsed by the city.
• 2:01:57
  SPEAKER_00: Well,
• 2:01:59
  we were coming to the guild district to become friends with the
• 2:02:02
  guilds and help
• 2:02:03
  SPEAKER_00: them out,
• 2:02:04
  SPEAKER_00: so might as well be closer to them.
• 2:02:11
  SPEAKER_03: You come walking up on another building
• 2:02:16
  Looks like a warehouse from the outside but doesn't have like
• 2:02:19
  one of those huge bay doors.
• 2:02:22
  SPEAKER_03: It has an entrance with a for sale sign on it.
• 2:02:36
  SPEAKER_03: We could try to see if we could find how to see this place.
• 2:02:41
  SPEAKER_03: Pretty big.
• 2:02:42
  SPEAKER_03: Spacious.
• 2:02:45
  SPEAKER_01: Lala goes up and tries to open the door.
• 2:02:49
  SPEAKER_03: It's locked.
• 2:02:51
  SPEAKER_01: She will pick the lock.
• 2:02:53
  SPEAKER_03: Make a sleight of hand check.
