• 0:41
  SPEAKER_01: Welcome, fellow adventurers, nerds, and neurodivergents.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_01: Sit back, stay hydrated, and prepare yourselves for tonight's adventure.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_01: Last we left off,
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_01: secondhand souls woke up the next morning and gathered themselves
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_01: for some lackluster breakfast.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_01: They discussed their options further and conducted some contract negotiations
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_01: with their lease for the building next door.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_01: After some back and forth, a contract was signed and the first rent payment was made.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_01: They continued their breakfast and began cleaning up when they were interrupted
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_01: by some hooligans at the door.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_01: The Goliath guards were thrown into this establishment and three humanoids entered.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_01: They were looking for debt to be paid and agreed to a trial by combat.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_01: If secondhand souls were successful,
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_01: they would be granted a meeting with the debtor to Gael Verna and Obscure Ivory
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_01: and Company.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_01: If they were not successful, the debt would be paid or Gael Verna would be taken.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_01: Combat ensued and was challenging at first.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_01: They eventually got into their rhythm though and took out the debt collectors without issue.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_01: The collectors agreed to cease hostilities and left to get in contact with their client.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_01: Gay Alverna thanked secondhand souls and handed over the keys to their rented building.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_01: They all then cleaned themselves up and began preparations for the rest of the day.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_01: That day is going to begin in your officially rented building that's still a mess.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_01: Currently named the Second Hand Souls founding hall.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_02: I would definitely just like to take some time to clean my space as much as possible.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_02: And if I wasn't able to,
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_02: then I would like to go out and purchase some cleaning supplies,
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_02: if there are none in here, because Joaquin would not be...
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_02: He would not want to sleep in filth.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: You're going to do a cleaning montage?
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: Makeover?
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: I appreciate the help, if you would like to help get our
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_01: space ready, but...
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_01: This is not the final form of the inside.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_01: I can apply some magics to make it a little larger in here than it currently shows.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_02: Wait, you can use magic to make the place bigger?
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_01: I can use magic to give the illusion of the place being bigger on the inside.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_01: It will remain the same physical size.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: So you're going to hang some mirrors?
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's like walking through a door and ending up not inside the building
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_01: that you were just in.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_02: Well, at least it'll mask it for others while we actually make it livable, right?
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_01: It could be a permanent enchantment with enough funds.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_02: Oh.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_01: And we'd have a permanently larger guild hall.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_01: If this physical space was cleaned, that would make that process much easier.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_02: As of right now, we all kind
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_01: of bunk together.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_01: Like, there's no rooms, there's no separate beds, we're all kind of just prammed together.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's why this situation needs to change, and he just kind of looks at Lala.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to be putting up walls.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: She pulls tape out of absolutely nowhere.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, what the demon child said.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_02: Lots of walls separating us.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_02: What tunnels inside?
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_02: No tunnels.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_02: What tunnels?
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_02: What?
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_01: Let's focus on cleaning first.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_01: We'll work on construction later.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_02: Keep the drills away from the child.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_02: No tunnels in here.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna start organizing stuff upstairs and getting rid of garbage and whatnot.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: I'll mop.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_00: I used to do that at the orphanage.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I can turn him upside down.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_00: D,
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: you can go ahead and start picking up the trash and whatnot that's scattered about
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_01: on both floors.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_01: Krakka's gonna kind of follow around and help you out.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, Joaquim?
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_00: Hold my garbage bag.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_01: He just kind of nods as he moseys along with the garbage bag.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_01: Joaquim,
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_01: you are able to go out and find a few vendors
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_01: that sell just your general cleaning supplies and whatnot.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, are you just stocking up?
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, I'm also getting a lay of the land, uh, and, uh, The businesses and the people in the area.

• 6:17
  SPEAKER_02: I'm sure.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_01: I can have a mop.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_01: She was going to turn you upside down and use you as a mop.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_00: I'll be helpful.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_00: I'll carry the stuff.
• 6:31

• 6:32
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, come on.

• 6:38
  SPEAKER_02: Must you?
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_02: You can't walk normally.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_02: I'm excited.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_02: To get
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: him up.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_02: You are easily entertained, aren't you, child?
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_00: I've never had my own mop.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: I used other people's mops and it's our space.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: It's exciting.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_02: You know what?
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to gift this mop to you.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_02: This will be Lala's mop.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_00: She does little lip quiver.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_01: While you are both leaving to go begin your shopping, You know, your wife comes to you.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_01: Would you like to come down into the basement with me
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_01: and let's figure out what's going on down there and make sure it's safe
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_01: for everybody else?
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, we can do that.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_01: I also need help with floor planning.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_03: Are we sure we shouldn't have the gay guy do it?
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_03: He might be better at it.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just I have a floor plan.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_01: I just want you to go over it and make sure the right people are next to each other
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_01: or the wrong people aren't next to each other.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_03: Well, we have to put Lala's bed inside of Wacame's room, so we have to find a way to hide that.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_01: See, this is why bringing you to Floorplant takes you downstairs.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_01: So we're going to do a couple of things now.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_01: D, I'm just going to have you roll an investigation check with advantage
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_01: to see how well you clean.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_01: And this is particularly finding all of the stuff that has to be cleaned.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_01: That's better.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_01: That's a lot better.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_01: That's a lot better.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_01: It takes you a little bit of time to get into the rhythm of doing like
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_01: a normal household chore.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_01: A normal living person thing, not a being a guard or living on a ship.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_01: Just a normal, I'm just cleaning a room and there's no traps and there's no combat.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just cleaning.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_01: But once you get into a rhythm,
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_01: it's kind of relaxing to just kind of Meander around picking up trash.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_01: This ain't half bad.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_01: Here you go, Cracker.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_01: You see why some people choose the quiet life over a life of adventure and action.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_01: I could definitely see me being a house, bitch.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_01: Once you get done with the downstairs,
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_01: you go upstairs and you see Kaida and Yenor going downstairs into the basement.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_01: Waqeem, did you dismiss your shadows or did you keep them active?
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_01: I dismissed them.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_01: That shouldn't be there then.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_01: Lala and Waqeem, you have Puppyfish following you around.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_02: Why am I babysitting?
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_01: You're not.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_01: Puppy Fish just kind of follows Lala.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_02: I reiterate.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_02: Puppy Fish is a baby.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_02: Why am I a baby?
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_02: It's fine.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_02: We're getting you a mop so that you can have all the fun and I can do less.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_01: So yes.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_01: And Iris is just kind of napping with Poppy.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_01: Thankfully.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_01: So now back to the shopping.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_01: Joaquim,
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_01: what are you looking for specifically as you are going to these different places
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_01: of business and buying various general cleaning supplies?
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_00: You need a bucket and a broom and a mop.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, yes.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_02: We're going to outfit Lala with all of the mopping equipment.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_02: So a standard mop, standard bucket.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_02: And some, you know, a couple of cleaning, you know, all purpose cleaning solutions.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_01: You said you were trying to get a read on people or the environment or what's going on.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_00: The lay of the land.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, lay of the land.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_01: What are you looking for in that regard?
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_02: I want to understand the types of people that are, that kind of frequent this area.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe if there are any...
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_02: Sorry, go ahead.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, sorry, I was just going to help.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_00: Are there different, like, neighborhoods?
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_00: Like, are people in specific areas?
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_00: Like, ah,
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_00: this is the Genasi neighborhood for the most part,
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_00: and this is where other people live versus, like, This is the historic district.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_01: So,
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_01: while there seems to be major discourse over various policies that are happening
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_01: and whatnot, it doesn't seem to...
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_01: Bleed its way at least over here where all the guilds and shops of this area are.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_01: The mix of all different types of species and races and people just going
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_01: about their daily life.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_01: So there's no real separation.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_02: Is it kind of like a marketplace?
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_02: Are there any maybe like...
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_02: Enforcer type looking people or people trying to,
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_02: you know, kind of manage situations, if you get what I'm saying.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_01: So there is the occasional two man guard patrol
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_01: that just kind of walks down.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_01: They're just kind of like talking with the guards or talking with each other
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_01: and just kind of walking.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_01: It just looks like they're there for presence and not for function.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_01: In other words, yeah, they're just there.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_01: They're not really paying attention to their surroundings, like the lazy city guard stereotype.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_01: And there's not a particular type of guard that's doing it.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_01: It could be a gnome, it could be an elf, it could be a genasi or other primordial descendant.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_01: They all seem to just be lackadaisically doing their job.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_01: However, flip side, there do seem to be near...
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_01: Some alleyways or
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_01: suspicious looking shops.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_01: Questionable looking establishments.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_01: There's big burly or small burly individuals that have some scars
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_01: and have weapons visible and don't really look too approachable.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_01: Kind of give anyone who gets too close the stink eye.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_02: Is there a sign outside any of these establishments or are they all kind
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_02: of down this one alleyway?
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_01: All down a single alleyway.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_01: They're kind of spread about.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_01: There's different ones and the different guards have different types of clothing on.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_01: No signs outside any of the establishments.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_00: Ever since Lala got jumped in the alley by those weird occult folks.
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_00: She's always on high alert for those.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_00: Are there any of those in the city?
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_01: So for that, I'm going to have you make a perception check.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_02: Can I help her?
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_01: You can.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_01: You can either give her advantage or make one yourself.
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'll give her advantage.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_00: That is 18 plus 6.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_00: 24?
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_00: Indeed.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_01: The ambush in the alley was done by...
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_01: Bounty Hunters, that they claimed themselves to be, and they were outfitted as such.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_01: So... You see a lot of Bounty Hunters around here,
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_01: but none of them seem to be paying attention to you, specifically.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_00: They were all, like, the same...
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_00: Mermaid race, though, weren't they?
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_00: Also.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if that mattered.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_00: It mattered in my head.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_01: Did not.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_01: There's no one that looks like that specifically that's in a bounty hunter outfit.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_02: This is not a new day, is it?
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_01: No, this is still the same day.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_01: It's like later in the morning.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_02: I would just make note of some of these shops,
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_02: but since they have different attire,
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_02: no matching symbols or anything like that,
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not really going to think too much of it.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_02: And I would pop into the first store that I saw a decent Moppet.
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_01: Ah, yes.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_01: I could get you some.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_01: You need any other general wares and supplies?
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, just the mopping for now.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_02: What do you got?
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_01: These amazing new cleaning supplies here, just in.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_02: Oh.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_02: Actually, that'll go quite well with that, yeah.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_01: They come from the field of Balderia.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_00: Why are people cleaning a field?
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_02: Don't ask that question.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_02: It's fine.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_02: It's more of the minerals and stuff, right?
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_01: You know, it's the volcanic ash that's been there for centuries.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_01: It does great for cleaning.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_02: There you go, Lala.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_02: Volcanic ash.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_02: You love that stuff, right?
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_00: Aren't we trying to pick up the dust and ash?
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_01: It's made into a soap, a cleaning solution.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_02: Ash soap, come on.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_02: Can you show her how to use it?
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_02: Because I don't think that she's going to get it.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_00: How do you use soap?
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_01: I could give a demonstration.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_01: There'll be a slight upcharge on the wares.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_02: That's fine.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_02: That's fine.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_02: Lala, pay attention.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_01: So he...
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_01: Wait, I need to... Because this could be really funny if he rolled really bad.
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_01: I need to roll a dice.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_01: All my dice are buried.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_01: It's not a one, but it's not good.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_01: So he's sitting here, right?
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_01: And he's trying to get the cap off of this bottle of special volcanic ash field soap.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_01: And he's struggling to get the cap off of this bottle.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_02: Do you need help over there, sir?
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_01: So he's turning it to the right as he's trying to open it?
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think that's how you do it.
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_02: You might have to turn it the other way.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_02: Or maybe not turn it?
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_01: He turns it upside down and starts turning it to the left.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_01: But when it's upside down, that's to the right, so, you know.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_02: Can I help you, please?
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_01: here you go.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_01: And he hands
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_02: it to you.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_02: Do I need to make any sort of check?
• 20:27

• 21:59
  SPEAKER_02: to explain everything,

  SPEAKER_01: I mean, the butt bucket has wheels.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, look at that.

  SPEAKER_02: Convenience for you.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_02: You little beast.
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_00: She'll put everything in the bucket and then wheel it around behind her like a dog.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_01: Puppyfish begins trying to eat the stuff in the bucket as you're walking.
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_02: Please don't do that.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_02: I just bought that.
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_02: No.

  SPEAKER_00: One day...
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_00: When you are better behaved,
• 23:22
  SPEAKER_00: we will be able to hook a bucket up to you and you can mush like a sled dog
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_00: and carry things for me.
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_01: It just looks up at you and licks your face.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_00: You want to be a good boy.
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_00: You're just too dumb.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_01: Poops right there in the street.
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it's scary a lot.
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_00: I don't have a bag.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_02: You can't do that, Lala.
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_02: We can't...
• 23:58
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know why this creature came with us,
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_02: but we can't leave...
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_01: And there's a couple of horses and carriages across the way from you,
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_01: and the horses just kind of poop, and it plops down onto the street.
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, let's get out of here before the smell makes me get.
• 24:17
  SPEAKER_00: You know,
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_00: I was thinking maybe some of the shadier folks around here would know
• 24:24
  SPEAKER_00: who was hiding out in our building doing weird occult stuff.
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, if we find out who did it, maybe we could ask them some questions.
• 24:39
  SPEAKER_02: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_02: Hiding out in our building, what are you talking about?
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, before we got there, obviously.
• 24:48
  SPEAKER_00: But, you know, the ones who crack the souls in the chests?
• 24:57
  SPEAKER_02: I look back around.
• 24:59
  SPEAKER_02: Do any of these people look occult-y?
• 25:03
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_02: They look kind of like ruffians, though.
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_01: They're general ruffian type, bandit type people, not necessarily occultists.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_00: Hey, you don't know what occultists look like under their robes.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and occultists wouldn't wear occultist robes in broad daylight.
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
• 25:29
  SPEAKER_02: Why do I think that you just want to go in there and start trouble with these people?
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_02: After I went through the trouble of buying you a mop.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_02: I can't see you.
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, come on.
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_00: What cultist ruffian do you think is out here at 10 a.m.
• 25:45
  SPEAKER_00: occulting a ruffian and we should come back later?
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_02: The worst kind of occultist ruffian.
• 25:56
  SPEAKER_00: Do you want to deal with the worst kind or the,
• 25:58
  SPEAKER_00: you know, more pleasant and open to having a discussion over tea kind?
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_02: None of these people look like they drink tea.
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_01: Hey, you there.
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_01: And one of the ruffians stands up and is pointing to you, Lala.
• 26:16
  SPEAKER_01: Of course they single you out, Doctor.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_00: He points at herself.
• 26:24
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah!
• 26:27
  SPEAKER_01: Aren't you supposed to be in school?
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_00: That's really cool that your biker gang cares about the education of the youth.
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_00: Have a good day.
• 26:37
  SPEAKER_01: Hey, we're not a biker gang.
• 26:42
  SPEAKER_02: What kind of gang are you?
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_01: Sir, we could have you arrested for helping her commit hooky.
• 26:50
  SPEAKER_00: Wait, what?
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_00: Commit hooky.
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_02: I will tell you, this,
• 27:02
  SPEAKER_02: and he kind of just gestures to Lala,
• 27:07
  SPEAKER_02: is less a child than anything that you can imagine.
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_02: It just looks innocent.
• 27:12
  SPEAKER_02: I promise you she isn't.
• 27:17
  SPEAKER_01: Do we have to call a different kind of authority there, buddy?
• 27:20
  SPEAKER_01: And someone from behind you kind of walks up this giant work fellow.
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_02: Who the hell are you?
• 27:27
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, who are you?
• 27:31
  SPEAKER_01: I haven't seen you around here.
• 27:35
  SPEAKER_01: Walking around with a child, buying her cleaning supplies, saying she's not innocent.
• 27:43
  SPEAKER_01: You're raising lots of red flags here there, buddy.
• 27:48
  SPEAKER_00: Look at all of these criminals invested in the well-being of their community.
• 27:53
  SPEAKER_00: She pretends to tear up.
• 27:55
  SPEAKER_01: She's not a child!
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_01: Wait a second, little lady, who are you calling criminals?
• 28:00
  SPEAKER_00: Hey, a second ago you were worried about me.
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_02: Who are you people?
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_01: The real question is who are you people?
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_01: We've been here.
• 28:18
  SPEAKER_00: We're the secondhand souls.
• 28:20
  SPEAKER_00: We just opened a guild and she hands out their cards.
• 28:26
  SPEAKER_01: How many of those do you have?
• 28:28
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_00: A pack?
• 28:31
  SPEAKER_00: Probably a hundred?
• 28:32
  SPEAKER_00: I assume that's how many come in a pack.
• 28:37
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not sure.
• 28:38
  SPEAKER_01: I don't remember you guys finishing the cards.
• 28:44
  SPEAKER_01: I was going to say they're probably all about half finished.
• 28:48
  SPEAKER_00: Half finished cards.
• 28:50
  SPEAKER_01: They're not colored in.
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_01: They're written.
• 28:52
  SPEAKER_01: They're drawn out.
• 28:53
  SPEAKER_01: They're not colored in.
• 28:54
  SPEAKER_01: The line work is done.
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_00: That's the draw of it.
• 28:56
  SPEAKER_00: You can color it in yourself.
• 28:59
  SPEAKER_00: It's entertainment as well.
• 29:01
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, if she's old enough to work in a guild, I guess she's not a child.
• 29:08
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah,
• 29:12
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
• 29:12
  SPEAKER_02: Common sense.

  SPEAKER_01: Concerned citizen, and they all snicker.

  SPEAKER_00: That's what elites do, isn't it?

  SPEAKER_00: Heck yeah!
• 35:02
  SPEAKER_01: Okim, you enter this establishment of potentially ill repute.
• 35:14
  SPEAKER_01: As you enter, you immediately see banners up all around the room.
• 35:21
  SPEAKER_01: Down with the council.
• 35:27
  SPEAKER_01: Down with the oppressors.
• 35:34
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I was expecting this.
• 35:40
  SPEAKER_01: You see this very large
• 35:44
  SPEAKER_01: Very large, very burly
• 35:49
  SPEAKER_01: human, but he's tall for a human.
• 35:52
  SPEAKER_01: He's like almost seven foot broad.
• 35:57
  SPEAKER_01: Just built like a tank and he stands up and he's like, welcome newcomer.
• 36:03
  SPEAKER_01: Do you fight with us?
• 36:08
  SPEAKER_02: Apologies, I'm just here for introductions.

  SPEAKER_02: Okay, the boss.

  SPEAKER_01: Why did my associates invite you in if you are not for our cause?
• 36:42
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not for or against much of anything.
• 36:44
  SPEAKER_02: I'm here to learn about my neighbors.
• 36:49
  SPEAKER_02: I'd heard similar talk before, and again, I was able to help dissuade people against...
• 36:58
  SPEAKER_01: So you're one of them.
• 37:00
  SPEAKER_02: Well, now hold on.
• 37:03
  SPEAKER_02: I think we're all here to talk,
• 37:04
  SPEAKER_02: to understand each other and see what's going on,
• 37:06
  SPEAKER_02: because the best way forward is together.
• 37:11
  SPEAKER_02: And I don't...
• 37:12
  SPEAKER_02: I don't dispute that you have issues with the council.
• 37:14
  SPEAKER_02: I think everybody does.
• 37:16
  SPEAKER_02: No one's perfect.
• 37:19
  SPEAKER_02: But again,
• 37:19
  SPEAKER_02: waging war or whatever it is that you're planning is only going to hurt a lot
• 37:25
  SPEAKER_02: of people.
• 37:32
  SPEAKER_02: That being said, I have done business with the council.
• 37:38
  SPEAKER_02: What do you need?
• 37:39
  SPEAKER_01: He's a council rat.
• 37:41
  SPEAKER_01: Close that door!

  SPEAKER_02: You
• 37:45
  SPEAKER_02: sent an arcane
• 37:50
  SPEAKER_02: glow on that door as well.
• 38:07
  SPEAKER_01: All of a sudden, your shadow is no longer in your shadow and you feel quite weak.
• 38:15
  SPEAKER_01: Oh.
• 38:17
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm going to need you to make a constitution saving throw.
• 38:22
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.

  SPEAKER_02: Let's see.

  SPEAKER_02: Uh... Yeah, why not?
• 38:49
  SPEAKER_02: Let's keep the 24.
• 38:50
  SPEAKER_02: 24 feels alright.
• 38:54
  SPEAKER_01: You feel the darkness tickle the back of your mind?
• 39:00
  SPEAKER_01: Ziggled out comes out.
• 39:02
  SPEAKER_01: Ugh...
• 39:06
  SPEAKER_01: Some kind of magic was trying to keep me out, but that's not gonna happen here.
• 39:13
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, and you get the weird feeling leaves your body and you feel the presence
• 39:18
  SPEAKER_01: of your shadow return in your shadow?
• 39:25
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I am going to...
• 39:27
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna... Alright, so he'll sigh...
• 39:37
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and then we will...

  SPEAKER_02: Uh, yeah, I'll cast darkness, yeah, I'll cast darkness on, yeah.
• 39:54
  SPEAKER_02: Well, can I do that?
• 39:55
  SPEAKER_02: Um...
• 39:57
  SPEAKER_01: Cast it on an object on yourself.
• 39:59
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I think you can also cast it on yourself, though, too.
• 40:04
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna, yeah, I'll, uh, well, I'll cast, can I cast it on the shadow?
• 40:09
  SPEAKER_01: On my shadow?

  SPEAKER_01: So like, yeah.
• 40:22
  SPEAKER_02: So I'll, yeah, I kind of like, point down at the, at my shadow.
• 40:28
  SPEAKER_02: And as that happens, like a little drop of darkness kind of comes off of my finger.
• 40:33
  SPEAKER_02: And drops onto my shadow and it reverberates and then bursts out to 15 feet.
• 40:44
  SPEAKER_01: Looks like our trap didn't work.
• 40:45
  SPEAKER_01: Surround him.
• 40:47
  SPEAKER_01: Don't go inside that darkness.
• 40:48
  SPEAKER_01: He's definitely a mole for the council.
• 40:54
  SPEAKER_02: I will stay in the darkness.
• 40:59
  SPEAKER_02: But I can see out of the darkness.
• 41:02
  SPEAKER_01: You can't.
• 41:06
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and you see the whole,
• 41:09
  SPEAKER_01: uh, everyone within this area has surrounded just the perimeter of the darkness.
• 41:17
  SPEAKER_01: Hey guys,
• 41:18
  SPEAKER_01: quick reminder to leave a like,
• 41:20
  SPEAKER_01: a comment, and don't forget to follow or subscribe to us.
• 41:24
  SPEAKER_01: Thanks!
• 41:26
  SPEAKER_01: How many people are here?
• 41:28
  SPEAKER_01: You can count currently?
• 41:30
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 41:32
  SPEAKER_01: At least 20.
• 41:35
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to lock eyes with the boss.
• 41:46
  SPEAKER_02: As he has named himself.
• 41:50
  SPEAKER_02: And then we will
• 41:56
  SPEAKER_02: do some Witch Boy stuff.
• 41:59
  SPEAKER_02: Um...
• 42:08
  SPEAKER_02: Can I upcast that?
• 42:20
  SPEAKER_02: I should be.
• 42:21
  SPEAKER_02: I think I can upcast it.
• 42:23
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know if that even matters, though.
• 42:25
  SPEAKER_02: Suggestion.
• 42:39
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, let's see.
• 42:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, upcasting it doesn't do anything at higher levels.
• 42:45
  SPEAKER_02: No, but I can use a higher level spell slot if I need to.
• 42:49
  SPEAKER_01: Correct.
• 42:50
  SPEAKER_01: I will say it will drop your darkness.
• 42:53
  SPEAKER_02: That's right, because it is a concentration spell.
• 42:57
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 43:01
  SPEAKER_02: So right now...
• 43:03
  SPEAKER_02: I will kind of have my shadow come out of my shadow and kind of just stand next to me.
• 43:10
  SPEAKER_02: And then I'm going to look at the boss and say,
• 43:18
  SPEAKER_02: think you have the wrong idea about me.
• 43:20
  SPEAKER_02: I said I did business with the council.
• 43:24
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not any agent here.
• 43:25
  SPEAKER_02: I'm just trying to understand my new neighbors.
• 43:29
  SPEAKER_02: But again, If you want to make this a whole problem,
• 43:36
  SPEAKER_02: I'm curious as to how this is going to go.
• 43:40
  SPEAKER_01: Make a persuasion check.
• 43:46
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to use... Do I have any votes?
• 43:57
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to use an Inspiration.
• 44:00
  SPEAKER_02: Well, no, I have luck, I think.
• 44:03
  SPEAKER_02: Don't I have luck?
• 44:05
  SPEAKER_02: You should have both.
• 44:06
  SPEAKER_02: I do.
• 44:07
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to use luck to roll this at advantage.
• 44:19
  SPEAKER_02: And we're also going to hero point it.
• 44:23
  SPEAKER_02: Just because we want to be extra pretty.
• 44:31
  SPEAKER_02: Ooh, that's a 33.
• 44:33
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 44:33
  SPEAKER_02: Now
• 44:44
  SPEAKER_01: we're gonna pause right there.
• 44:48
  SPEAKER_01: Lala, as you're doing your juggling act and earning some coin,
• 44:54
  SPEAKER_01: the door slams shut of the establishment that Hakeem just went into.
• 45:01
  SPEAKER_00: I'm guessing in an unusual way.
• 45:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, not just closed.
• 45:07
  SPEAKER_01: It's not like it just closed on its own or someone closed it.
• 45:09
  SPEAKER_01: It just... Flamshot.
• 45:21
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna have to go rescue him on time.
• 45:28
  SPEAKER_00: She...
• 45:29
  SPEAKER_00: Packs her daggers back in her various little delts and places for them.
• 45:35
  SPEAKER_00: It's been a great show, guys.
• 45:37
  SPEAKER_00: Thanks a lot.
• 45:40
  SPEAKER_00: Bye.
• 45:40
  SPEAKER_00: And she'll kind of like take her bucket and puppy fish and dash down
• 45:47
  SPEAKER_00: the alleyway that's like next to the building.
• 45:59
  SPEAKER_01: Make an Athletics check.
• 46:02
  SPEAKER_01: Or Acrobatics, your choice.
• 46:05
  SPEAKER_00: My Athletics is there.
• 46:07
  SPEAKER_00: Oh Jesus, don't fall off the table.
• 46:11
  SPEAKER_00: 8 plus 10 is 18.
• 46:18
  SPEAKER_01: You do not make it out of the crowd as the larger guy that was
• 46:21
  SPEAKER_01: behind Hakeem grabs you by the arm.
• 46:24
  SPEAKER_01: Oh no, little miss, you're staying here until your friend comes out of there.
• 46:30
  SPEAKER_00: Excuse me, what do you mean?
• 46:35
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, he's being tested by the boss.
• 46:38
  SPEAKER_01: And if he fails that test, that means you failed that test.
• 46:45
  SPEAKER_00: He narrows her eyes.
• 46:48
  SPEAKER_00: That explains very little further.
• 46:56
  SPEAKER_00: I'll quick stab him in the hand.
• 47:01
  SPEAKER_01: Go ahead and make an attack roll.
• 47:06
  SPEAKER_01: With whichever dagger you choose to do that with.
• 47:09
  SPEAKER_00: And hate again.
• 47:12
  SPEAKER_01: Are you using Nosferatu?
• 47:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 47:17
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 47:18
  SPEAKER_00: Freaking out, like, why can't I find this?
• 47:20
  SPEAKER_00: I realize I'm on the wrong page.
• 47:28
  So... 19.
• 47:29
  SPEAKER_01: As you stab in his hand... Ah!
• 47:33
  SPEAKER_01: Fresh blood!
• 47:34
  SPEAKER_01: And... And you see the...
• 47:39
  SPEAKER_01: The humanoid turn into a husk before your eyes.
• 47:42
  SPEAKER_00: That was... Way too fast.
• 47:46
  SPEAKER_00: Can I run?
• 47:48
  SPEAKER_01: You can run now, but you now have...
• 47:51
  SPEAKER_01: Individuals trying to alert guards.
• 47:53
  SPEAKER_01: Because you just...
• 47:55
  SPEAKER_01: Mummified a person.
• 47:56
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, he grabbed some little girl off the street.
• 48:01
  SPEAKER_00: I think I'm good.
• 48:02
  SPEAKER_00: She's gonna leave for her cleaning supplies this time and just like demand puppy follow her.
• 48:09
  SPEAKER_00: Run!
• 48:12
  SPEAKER_00: Or actually, he does follow commands well enough usually to be like, but we are new here.
• 48:19
  SPEAKER_00: Can I tell him to like go home?
• 48:23
  SPEAKER_01: You can try.
• 48:24
  SPEAKER_01: You have not established where home is.
• 48:27
  SPEAKER_00: I know.
• 48:30
  SPEAKER_01: So it's going to be up to the dice if he decides that he knows where home is.
• 48:35
  SPEAKER_00: He's got a sniffer.
• 48:37
  SPEAKER_01: He does have a sniffer.
• 48:40
  SPEAKER_00: Find Yenor.
• 48:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 48:44
  SPEAKER_00: She'll command him, find Yenor, and she will take off towards the building.
• 48:50
  SPEAKER_01: Make an animal handling check for yourself.
• 48:54
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not, I'm not good at this.
• 48:58
  SPEAKER_00: I'm getting inspiration now.
• 49:00
  SPEAKER_01: That's a fine.
• 49:03
  SPEAKER_01: No, you're also, Yanor's also not good at animal handling checks, so it's fine.
• 49:08
  SPEAKER_00: Well, 13, so 14, so not a failure.
• 49:10
  SPEAKER_00: I did use inspiration, just, I do.
• 49:12
  SPEAKER_00: I don't, I'm not.
• 49:12
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 49:22
  SPEAKER_01: Go ahead and make a... Just roll a d20 for me for Puppyfish.
• 49:32
  SPEAKER_00: 15?
• 49:34
  SPEAKER_01: 15?
• 49:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 49:38
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 49:40
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 49:42
  SPEAKER_01: You see him head immediately in the direction that you came.
• 49:46
  SPEAKER_00: That's good, I think.
• 49:51
  SPEAKER_00: Cool.
• 49:51
  SPEAKER_00: And it took you about...
• 49:53
  SPEAKER_01: Walking,
• 49:53
  SPEAKER_01: because you guys were just kind of meandering,
• 49:55
  SPEAKER_01: it took you about five minutes to get to this area.
• 49:58
  SPEAKER_01: Give or take.
• 49:59
  SPEAKER_01: But he's running.
• 50:02
  SPEAKER_00: He run.
• 50:03
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to the back end of the building.
• 50:08
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to see if there's a different way in.
• 50:11
  SPEAKER_00: Hopefully without getting caught.
• 50:14
  SPEAKER_01: There's, like,
• 50:15
  SPEAKER_01: where they dump all their trash out,
• 50:17
  SPEAKER_01: dumpsters and whatnot,
• 50:18
  SPEAKER_01: and then there's some awnings and some pipes along the side of the wall.
• 50:23
  SPEAKER_01: Or not pipes, but, like, gutters along the side of the wall.
• 50:26
  SPEAKER_01: Time for Catwoman shit!
• 50:27
  SPEAKER_01: And then you have, like, an upper floor window.
• 50:32
  SPEAKER_01: Or two.
• 50:33
  SPEAKER_00: I guess we're gonna athletics our way up there.
• 50:36
  SPEAKER_01: Just go ahead and make an athletics check.
• 50:39
  SPEAKER_00: Catwoman!
• 50:41
  SPEAKER_00: Activate!
• 50:44
  SPEAKER_00: That is a 16 plus... Oh, that's good.
• 50:48
  SPEAKER_00: 16 plus 10, 26.
• 50:49
  SPEAKER_00: Yay!
• 50:50
  SPEAKER_01: You're able to get up there,
• 50:53
  SPEAKER_01: and you get up to the window just in time to see darkness shoot out
• 50:58
  SPEAKER_01: from around Wakim.
• 51:00
  SPEAKER_00: I can see my Daredevil skill.
• 51:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 51:06
  SPEAKER_01: But you see, like, you recognize the darkness that Wakim unleashes every so often.
• 51:11
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
• 51:15
  SPEAKER_01: And you see the darkness cloud is surrounded by about 20 individuals,
• 51:20
  SPEAKER_01: including one very large burly guy.
• 51:23
  SPEAKER_00: It is excellent for me, because I can hide in it, and they can't see me, but I can see them.
• 51:31
  SPEAKER_01: On the upper balcony,
• 51:33
  SPEAKER_01: where you can also see from here, there's about another 10 to 12 individuals.
• 51:41
  SPEAKER_00: Oh god.
• 51:44
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe I should just start a fire.
• 51:51
  SPEAKER_01: And then that is where we're going to hut back to the Second Hand Souls Founding Hall.
• 52:02
  SPEAKER_01: So Dee, you've been walking around picking up trash with Rocco for some time.
• 52:07
  SPEAKER_01: Eventually you pick up all the trash and bottles.
• 52:15
  SPEAKER_01: Finally clean.
• 52:17
  SPEAKER_01: Now what's next?
• 52:21
  SPEAKER_01: You've also gone around and, like, you know, padded dust off of stuff.
• 52:25
  SPEAKER_01: Like, you can't really dust,
• 52:26
  SPEAKER_01: you don't have a duster, but you've, like, brushed it off with your hands.
• 52:31
  SPEAKER_03: I have a towel.
• 52:31
  SPEAKER_01: Or your tail.
• 52:33
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 52:35
  SPEAKER_01: So you've at least got the dust off of upper surfaces and just kind of got it onto
• 52:41
  SPEAKER_01: the floor as much as you could?
• 52:46
  SPEAKER_03: So it looks a lot better.
• 52:48
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 52:49
  SPEAKER_03: Good.
• 52:50
  SPEAKER_03: I'm happy with it.
• 52:52
  SPEAKER_01: There's still a lot of broken furniture around.
• 52:54
  SPEAKER_01: You didn't know what to do with that.
• 52:57
  SPEAKER_03: Should I burn it somewhere?
• 53:00
  SPEAKER_03: Do we have, like, a fireplace?
• 53:02
  SPEAKER_03: Like, can I rip a pulse?
• 53:03
  SPEAKER_01: There is a fireplace.
• 53:04
  SPEAKER_01: On the lower level, there's a fireplace.
• 53:07
  SPEAKER_03: Ooh, can I burn the wood?
• 53:09
  SPEAKER_01: You could, if you want to start a fire, yeah?
• 53:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, let's do that.
• 53:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so, uh, like, like, Mm-hmm.
• 53:42
  SPEAKER_01: Takes you a while to do that,
• 53:43
  SPEAKER_01: so that's going to take you a little bit to cart wood downstairs and break it up
• 53:47
  SPEAKER_01: and throw it in the fireplace.
• 53:48
  SPEAKER_01: And then you're going to have to have a wood pile next to it because it's going
• 53:50
  SPEAKER_01: to be too much wood for the fireplace.
• 53:56
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, everything burns.
• 54:00
  SPEAKER_01: It's very dry wood, so it does burn and crack pretty quick.
• 54:05
  SPEAKER_01: You just got to keep an eye on it because the fireplace is a little in disrepair.
• 54:11
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, okay.
• 54:16
  SPEAKER_01: You and Kaida are in the basement going over stuff.
• 54:22
  SPEAKER_01: You also called Praka down a couple of times to help load up some trash
• 54:26
  SPEAKER_01: that was down here in his trash bags and he'd haul it back up and throw it outside.
• 54:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so
• 54:35
  SPEAKER_01: you know how I do our house when we're staying somewhere?
• 54:40
  SPEAKER_01: I just make the door into a house.
• 54:43
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 54:44
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to try to do that more permanently with our guild hall here,
• 54:48
  SPEAKER_01: but not with our house, with a different building.
• 54:53
  SPEAKER_03: Make a building inside the building?
• 54:55
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 54:57
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 54:59
  SPEAKER_01: Everyone has their own space and it's bigger and we can make a library and other things.
• 55:05
  SPEAKER_03: That could be cool.
• 55:06
  SPEAKER_01: It'll take time and we're going to need to operate out of this building for a while.
• 55:11
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 55:11
  SPEAKER_01: Until I have the funds and resources to do so.
• 55:14
  SPEAKER_01: I could have done this instantly with the resources that the Onyx Accord have, but...
• 55:20
  SPEAKER_03: I don't like as much right now.
• 55:21
  SPEAKER_01: They do not.
• 55:24
  SPEAKER_03: That's my bad.
• 55:25
  SPEAKER_01: Is there a...
• 55:27
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think it's anyone's bad.
• 55:29
  SPEAKER_01: I think there's other things going on.
• 55:33
  SPEAKER_03: We could probably bribe some people.
• 55:39
  SPEAKER_01: I would rather not.
• 55:43
  SPEAKER_03: We'd be less wanted if we had.
• 55:46
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe.
• 55:47
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe we'd be more wanted.
• 55:50
  SPEAKER_03: Only if we got caught.
• 55:52
  SPEAKER_01: We get caught a lot.
• 55:54
  SPEAKER_01: A lot, a lot.
• 55:59
  SPEAKER_03: Fair.
• 56:00
  SPEAKER_03: Fair, fair, fair.
• 56:05
  SPEAKER_01: What do you think we should do with this ritual area?
• 56:11
  SPEAKER_01: Do we leave it?
• 56:15
  SPEAKER_01: Do we pretend the basement doesn't exist?
• 56:18
  SPEAKER_01: Do we seal it off?
• 56:20
  SPEAKER_03: We could turn it to storage.
• 56:24
  SPEAKER_03: Surely guilds need a fuckton of storage, right?
• 56:28
  SPEAKER_01: What if it gets cursed?
• 56:31
  SPEAKER_03: What would curse a building?
• 56:33
  SPEAKER_03: The entity is already gone.
• 56:35
  SPEAKER_03: It left.
• 56:36
  SPEAKER_01: Are we sure about that?
• 56:37
  SPEAKER_01: It requires more research.
• 56:46
  SPEAKER_03: Can I cast Divine Sense real quick?
• 56:48
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 56:49
  SPEAKER_03: Do I feel anything?
• 56:51
  SPEAKER_03: Nope.
• 56:53
  SPEAKER_03: There's nothing here.
• 56:57
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, we could use it for storage, yeah.
• 57:01
  SPEAKER_01: I could see that working.
• 57:02
  SPEAKER_01: We're going to get some questions about the stone slab and the giant apparatus.
• 57:06
  SPEAKER_03: We can move those.
• 57:11
  SPEAKER_01: Who's going to move it deep?
• 57:13
  SPEAKER_03: Hey, Dee and me combined can do some crazy shit.
• 57:20
  SPEAKER_03: All right, we'll push it up against the wall.
• 57:21
  SPEAKER_03: It's not a stone slab anymore.
• 57:23
  SPEAKER_03: It's a table.
• 57:24
  SPEAKER_01: I think the stone slab is in the ground.
• 57:31
  SPEAKER_03: That does change things.
• 57:33
  SPEAKER_03: What if we throw a tablecloth on it?
• 57:38
  SPEAKER_01: We do with the apparatus.
• 57:41
  SPEAKER_01: And crystal in it that's also like in the ground.
• 57:46
  SPEAKER_03: Build a box on top of it?
• 57:49
  SPEAKER_01: Around it?
• 57:51
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, around it.
• 57:52
  SPEAKER_01: Like a decorative column?
• 57:55
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 58:00
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 58:01
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna try doing it.
• 58:02
  SPEAKER_01: Again, this all requires materials and money.
• 58:05
  SPEAKER_03: I have some money.
• 58:06
  SPEAKER_03: I have enough money to buy wood.
• 58:08
  SPEAKER_01: We need
• 58:11
  SPEAKER_01: Contacts, clients, allies that aren't just government officials.
• 58:19
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, Joaquin and Lala are out there.
• 58:23
  SPEAKER_03: They're probably doing something, right?
• 58:26
  SPEAKER_01: She gives you a look.
• 58:29
  SPEAKER_01: She gives you the...
• 58:31
  SPEAKER_03: Over the eyes librarian look?
• 58:33
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, except she doesn't have glasses,
• 58:35
  SPEAKER_01: so she's just pretending to move glasses down and give you a look.
• 58:40
  SPEAKER_03: Wakeem likes to talk to people.
• 58:42
  SPEAKER_03: He can make friends.
• 58:44
  SPEAKER_01: Or enemies, depending on what he says.
• 58:48
  SPEAKER_03: He's charismatic.
• 58:49
  SPEAKER_03: He can do it.
• 58:52
  SPEAKER_03: Do you want to go make friends?
• 58:53
  SPEAKER_01: What if he comes across the wrong person and doesn't realize it until it's too late?
• 59:00
  SPEAKER_01: Would he realize that he's come across the wrong person?
• 59:03
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe.
• 59:04
  SPEAKER_01: Or would he try to persuade them to be the right person?
• 59:07
  SPEAKER_01: And then it's too late.
• 59:08
  SPEAKER_03: He might persuade them to try to sleep with them, though.
• 59:11
  SPEAKER_03: You've seen what he's like in a bar.
• 59:13
  SPEAKER_01: But he's with Lala.
• 59:15
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know that that would stop him.
• 59:17
  SPEAKER_01: She'll stab them.
• 59:20
  SPEAKER_03: Do we think he's learned his lesson on that?
• 59:24
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think either have learned anything.
• 59:27
  SPEAKER_03: Lala has learned how to take him off.
• 59:36
  SPEAKER_01: They've only been gone for a little bit, so we'll see what happens when they get back.
• 59:42
  SPEAKER_03: That's probably a smart line of thinking.
• 59:50
  SPEAKER_01: We need a name.
• 59:52
  SPEAKER_01: Are we just going with the second hand souls founding hall?
• 59:55

• 1:02:57
  SPEAKER_01: He hears as you walk towards the basement to go downstairs.
• 1:03:03
  SPEAKER_01: You...
• 1:03:06
  SPEAKER_01: Muffled talking between Ynora and Kaida gets louder to the point where Puppyfish can hear them.
• 1:03:13
  SPEAKER_01: And he bolts from between your legs and launches himself into the trap door.
• 1:03:18
  SPEAKER_01: And then Ynora and Kaida, you just hear...
• 1:03:22
  SPEAKER_01: Flop!
• 1:03:23
  SPEAKER_01: And there's just an upside-down Puppyfish at the bottom of the ladder looking at you.
• 1:03:32
  SPEAKER_01: And he flips around on his side and runs up and tackles Hey guys,
• 1:03:39
  SPEAKER_01: quick reminder to leave a like,
• 1:03:41
  SPEAKER_01: a comment, and don't forget to follow or subscribe to us.
• 1:03:45
  SPEAKER_01: Thanks!
• 1:03:47
  SPEAKER_03: I can speak with animals.
• 1:03:49
  SPEAKER_01: On who?
• 1:03:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yourself or Puppyfish?
• 1:03:52
  SPEAKER_03: Puppyfish.
• 1:03:53
  SPEAKER_03: So he can speak now.
• 1:03:56
  SPEAKER_03: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
• 1:04:02
  SPEAKER_03: Hello.
• 1:04:02
  SPEAKER_03: Hey.
• 1:04:03
  SPEAKER_01: Hi.
• 1:04:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 1:04:06
  SPEAKER_03: Where's Lala?
• 1:04:08
  SPEAKER_01: Find Inor.
• 1:04:12
  SPEAKER_03: Where's Lala?
• 1:04:13
  SPEAKER_01: Home.
• 1:04:15
  SPEAKER_01: Find Inor home.
• 1:04:17
  SPEAKER_03: This is home.
• 1:04:19
  SPEAKER_03: I'm Inor.
• 1:04:21
  SPEAKER_03: Good boy.
• 1:04:24
  SPEAKER_03: Where's Lala?
• 1:04:26
  SPEAKER_01: Find Inor.
• 1:04:32
  SPEAKER_03: Where mom?
• 1:04:38
  SPEAKER_01: Find Ynor.
• 1:04:42
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 1:04:48
  SPEAKER_01: Lala, I know you're not here right now, but you only told him to find Ynor.
• 1:04:59
  SPEAKER_02: This is actually true.
• 1:05:01
  SPEAKER_00: His little brain can't handle complicated directions.
• 1:05:08
  SPEAKER_03: It would be weird that he's here without Lala.
• 1:05:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 1:05:12
  SPEAKER_00: I would assume that if you took him outside, he would try to take you to her.
• 1:05:16
  SPEAKER_00: Because he follows her everywhere.
• 1:05:19
  SPEAKER_00: That would be my guess.
• 1:05:23
  SPEAKER_01: He understood the single set of directions that he was given.
• 1:05:27
  SPEAKER_03: He can be taught.
• 1:05:29
  SPEAKER_01: Fine, you don't.
• 1:05:31
  SPEAKER_01: Home.
• 1:05:32
  SPEAKER_03: Good job.
• 1:05:35
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to look at Kaot and be like, this is weird, right?
• 1:05:38
  SPEAKER_01: This is really weird.
• 1:05:39
  SPEAKER_01: He jumped down the trap door and fell.
• 1:05:43
  SPEAKER_03: Nobody ever said he was smart.
• 1:05:46
  SPEAKER_01: But he normally doesn't do that.
• 1:05:49
  SPEAKER_01: He doesn't even like the basement.
• 1:05:52
  SPEAKER_01: He doesn't like basements.
• 1:05:54
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think he knows he's in the basement right now.
• 1:05:58
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, he's so dumb.
• 1:06:01
  SPEAKER_01: You do notice there's a slime trail where he's walking.
• 1:06:04
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:06:06
  SPEAKER_03: We should probably go find Lala.
• 1:06:10
  SPEAKER_01: I'll stay here with the animals.
• 1:06:13
  SPEAKER_03: Probably a smart idea.
• 1:06:14
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I mean, you have to take Thesson, but, you know, unless you want to take Iris with you.
• 1:06:18
  SPEAKER_03: No, I'll take Thesson.
• 1:06:21
  SPEAKER_03: Is Dee down here now?
• 1:06:23
  SPEAKER_01: She's at the trapdoor.
• 1:06:24
  SPEAKER_01: She's dunned at the fact that Puppyfish just almost died.
• 1:06:28
  SPEAKER_03: All right, I'll walk over and say, hey, you want to go find Lala with me?
• 1:06:32
  SPEAKER_03: Sure, I was trying to figure out what he wanted.
• 1:06:36
  SPEAKER_03: Wasn't sure if he had to poop, need to eat, wasn't sure what was going on.
• 1:06:42
  SPEAKER_03: Apparently me.
• 1:06:44
  SPEAKER_03: Let's see if he knows where she's at.
• 1:06:48
  SPEAKER_03: I've learned that he knows how to somewhat fly, but he doesn't land on his feet very well.
• 1:06:53
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, first flights never go well.
• 1:06:56
  SPEAKER_03: Never.
• 1:06:57
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, let's go find her.
• 1:06:57
  SPEAKER_03: Find Dianor.
• 1:07:01
  SPEAKER_03: Can you show us where Lala is?
• 1:07:06
  SPEAKER_01: Who's Lala?
• 1:07:07
  SPEAKER_03: Can you show us where Mama is?
• 1:07:12
  SPEAKER_01: He sits for a second.
• 1:07:14
  SPEAKER_01: I guess that glazed over look on his face.
• 1:07:20
  SPEAKER_03: Up he's rolling.
• 1:07:21
  SPEAKER_01: That glazed over look on his face lasts for a while.
• 1:07:25
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, I bet.
• 1:07:27
  SPEAKER_03: He's trying real hard.
• 1:07:34
  SPEAKER_01: Mop Bucket.
• 1:07:35
  SPEAKER_03: Mop Bucket.
• 1:07:37
  SPEAKER_01: Mop Bucket.
• 1:07:39
  SPEAKER_03: Do you know where the Mop Bucket is?
• 1:07:41
  SPEAKER_03: And he's gone?
• 1:07:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:07:45
  SPEAKER_03: I start running.
• 1:07:53
  SPEAKER_01: As you and Dee and Kraka follow, Puppyfish.
• 1:07:59
  SPEAKER_01: Puppyfish is very fast, so you're like sprinting to keep up with him.
• 1:08:03
  SPEAKER_01: You're getting some very strange looks.
• 1:08:06
  SPEAKER_01: A guard patrol kind of looks at you and then turns to each other and
• 1:08:09
  SPEAKER_01: then you notice how they turn and start following where you guys are running.
• 1:08:18
  SPEAKER_01: That's another guard patrol.
• 1:08:20
  SPEAKER_01: They're talking to someone in an alley and they kind of turn and look and they see
• 1:08:23
  SPEAKER_01: the other guard patrol and they kind of turn and Start following you also.
• 1:08:30
  SPEAKER_01: You see the slime trail of where Puppyfish had walked previously?
• 1:08:40
  SPEAKER_01: And you find a mop bucket with some cleaning supplies just in the middle of the road.
• 1:08:50
  SPEAKER_03: No sign of them?
• 1:08:52
  SPEAKER_01: There's a dried up husk next to the mop bucket.
• 1:08:57
  SPEAKER_01: That used to be filled with blood.
• 1:08:59
  SPEAKER_03: Person.
• 1:09:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:09:03
  SPEAKER_03: Is there any other signs around that I can find?
• 1:09:09
  SPEAKER_01: Make a perception check.
• 1:09:13
  SPEAKER_01: Or you can have help if you would like, but you are the one making the perception check.
• 1:09:20
  SPEAKER_03: If Dee helps, I get advantage, right?
• 1:09:22
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:09:22
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know if Dee, I don't know what your perception is.
• 1:09:39
  SPEAKER_03: Is a plus nine.
• 1:09:43
  SPEAKER_03: All right, we can both roll then.
• 1:09:44
  SPEAKER_03: I only have a plus seven.
• 1:09:46
  SPEAKER_01: OK. See what happened.
• 1:09:54
  SPEAKER_03: What the hell?

• 1:10:10
  SPEAKER_01: Some of them have ruffians out front.
• 1:10:14
  SPEAKER_01: A few of them have two ruffians out front.
• 1:10:17
  SPEAKER_01: One of them only has one ruffian out front.
• 1:10:25
  SPEAKER_03: I'll go talk to the one ruffian.
• 1:10:29
  SPEAKER_01: Hey!

  SPEAKER_01: She's dad, my friend.
• 1:10:40
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, she's a little stabby.
• 1:10:42
  SPEAKER_03: Why did you deserve it?
• 1:10:46

  SPEAKER_01: He was just preventing her from leaving until we were done talking to her friend.

  SPEAKER_01: I have this and he pats his weapon.
• 1:11:14
  SPEAKER_03: I've got one of those too.
• 1:11:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yours doesn't seem to be working.
• 1:11:19
  SPEAKER_03: Is it just the hilt right now?
• 1:11:21
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 1:11:23
  SPEAKER_01: You're in a very dry wooden building with potential rot problems.
• 1:11:26
  SPEAKER_03: It's not fire.
• 1:11:29
  SPEAKER_03: It's light.
• 1:11:30
  SPEAKER_01: It's light.

  SPEAKER_01: Yes, all the time.
• 1:15:52
  SPEAKER_03: And she's trying to be really persuasive.
• 1:16:01
  SPEAKER_03: Why would I go to a police officer to ask for help?
• 1:16:05
  SPEAKER_03: Why would I draw attention to myself if I'm out here committing crimes?

• 1:17:41
  SPEAKER_01: We'll see.
• 1:17:47
  SPEAKER_01: We are.
• 1:17:52
  SPEAKER_01: We'll come back to you after a quick break,
• 1:17:55
  SPEAKER_01: so we're going to take our break here and we'll be back in a moment.
• 1:18:05
  SPEAKER_02: Be right back for more insanity.
• 1:18:10
  SPEAKER_00: Do not cooperate with these officers.
• 1:18:14
  SPEAKER_03: But I am a cop.
• 1:18:17
  SPEAKER_02: We are not the droids they're looking for.
• 1:18:21
  SPEAKER_00: But they're, you know, they're basically mall cops.
• 1:18:24
  SPEAKER_00: They only work for pay.
• 1:18:31
  SPEAKER_03: Well, if I can get them to work for me.
• 1:18:37
  SPEAKER_00: Through bribery?
• 1:18:39
  SPEAKER_00: I thought better of you.
• 1:18:42
  SPEAKER_03: I bribe you to work for me all the time.
• 1:18:44
  SPEAKER_00: That's not bribery.
• 1:18:45
  SPEAKER_00: That's just a wage.
• 1:18:49
  SPEAKER_03: I literally asked you to do something and then gave you money so that you would do it.
• 1:18:53
  SPEAKER_03: I would say that that's bribery.
• 1:18:55
  SPEAKER_00: Over time.
• 1:19:00
  SPEAKER_01: Thanks for tuning in.
• 1:19:01
  SPEAKER_01: If you're enjoying the show, leave a like and review.

• 1:19:13
  SPEAKER_01: linked in the description below, and see what exclusive content we have for you.
• 1:19:18
  SPEAKER_01: Without further ado, let's get back to the adventure.
• 1:19:32
  SPEAKER_01: We are back.
• 1:19:35
  SPEAKER_01: And I believe we left off transitioning from Yanor's dealings with these guards to Lala.
• 1:19:49
  SPEAKER_01: Lala, you see the people surrounding the shadow cloud and individuals on the balcony.
• 1:20:04
  SPEAKER_01: You are contemplating what to do.
• 1:20:05
  SPEAKER_01: One of those options was start a fire.
• 1:20:07
  SPEAKER_01: So what are you going to do?
• 1:20:10
  SPEAKER_00: It was like 23 people total, right?
• 1:20:13
  SPEAKER_00: 12 on the bottom.
• 1:20:15
  SPEAKER_01: So there's like 20 people on the bottom.
• 1:20:19
  SPEAKER_01: And there's like, there's probably 12 people on the upper balcony.
• 1:20:26
  SPEAKER_00: I think.
• 1:20:31
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, man.
• 1:20:34
  SPEAKER_00: One of the best ways to play Lala, and how I do it very well, is by not thinking too much.
• 1:20:41
  SPEAKER_00: And that's too many people, even if she tried to assassinate, take them out one by one.
• 1:20:50
  SPEAKER_00: And the first thought is a fire, so I think she's going to start a fire.
• 1:20:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:20:58
  SPEAKER_01: Do you have fire-starting material?
• 1:21:02
  SPEAKER_00: In my backpack.
• 1:21:04
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:21:05
  SPEAKER_00: And it's a building.
• 1:21:06
  SPEAKER_00: There's wood.
• 1:21:07
  SPEAKER_00: There's curtains.
• 1:21:09
  SPEAKER_00: There's things.
• 1:21:11
  SPEAKER_01: Where are you going to attempt to do this?
• 1:21:14
  SPEAKER_01: Are you going to break in and do it?
• 1:21:16
  SPEAKER_01: Are you going to do it on the outside?
• 1:21:21
  SPEAKER_00: So we're on the second floor.
• 1:21:24
  SPEAKER_00: The people are kind of like over there.
• 1:21:26
  SPEAKER_00: So I think she's going to start it where she is.
• 1:21:30
  SPEAKER_00: And then try to stealth her way away and get down to Joaquin.
• 1:21:37
  SPEAKER_01: On the inside of the building.
• 1:21:39
  SPEAKER_00: On the inside of the building.
• 1:21:41
  SPEAKER_00: But like still near the window so the bear can feed it.
• 1:21:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I gotcha.
• 1:21:47
  SPEAKER_01: So first, the window is closed.
• 1:21:51
  SPEAKER_01: It's not open.
• 1:21:54
  SPEAKER_00: Can I open it?
• 1:21:56
  SPEAKER_00: It's locked.
• 1:21:56
  SPEAKER_00: Stealthily?
• 1:21:59
  SPEAKER_01: Still locked.
• 1:22:01
  SPEAKER_00: Locked window.
• 1:22:06
  SPEAKER_00: Lock pick window?
• 1:22:10
  SPEAKER_01: Could try.
• 1:22:13
  SPEAKER_01: That'd be a sleight of hand check.
• 1:22:20
  SPEAKER_00: Plus eight.
• 1:22:24
  SPEAKER_00: Nine plus eight.
• 1:22:27
  SPEAKER_00: Seventeen.
• 1:22:29
  SPEAKER_01: You can't roll under a ten.
• 1:22:31
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, then the 18th.
• 1:22:35
  SPEAKER_01: Whenever you make an ability check that you are proficient in,
• 1:22:39
  SPEAKER_01: you treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10.
• 1:22:42
  SPEAKER_00: Then 18th.
• 1:22:48
  SPEAKER_01: It takes you a little bit,
• 1:22:50
  SPEAKER_01: but it's a very tiny lock, but you get it undone and you get the window open.
• 1:22:55
  SPEAKER_01: Go ahead and make a stealth check for me as well.
• 1:23:03
  SPEAKER_00: This is another thing that I can't get below a 10, I believe.
• 1:23:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:23:08
  SPEAKER_00: Which, that's a 6.
• 1:23:09
  SPEAKER_00: So that's a 10, plus 12, 22.
• 1:23:11
  SPEAKER_00: Bye, I love you.
• 1:23:15
  SPEAKER_01: So you are stealthy,
• 1:23:17
  SPEAKER_01: you open the window,
• 1:23:19
  SPEAKER_01: and you sneak yourself in, and you even remember to close the window behind you.
• 1:23:25
  SPEAKER_00: No, no, no.
• 1:23:26
  SPEAKER_00: We leave the window open.
• 1:23:28
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, so you leave the window open.
• 1:23:30
  SPEAKER_01: There are some curtains.
• 1:23:33
  SPEAKER_01: There.
• 1:23:35
  SPEAKER_01: There are, you know, papers around and whatnot.
• 1:23:41
  SPEAKER_00: She's going to gather those sorts of things as quietly as possible to create a pile.
• 1:23:50
  SPEAKER_01: You do so.
• 1:23:52
  SPEAKER_01: No one seems to have noticed you.
• 1:24:00
  SPEAKER_01: And you have a nice little fire starting pile.
• 1:24:05
  SPEAKER_00: So, in quick movement, but also stealthy movement, the idea is to get it started.
• 1:24:14
  SPEAKER_00: It's going to start small enough that nobody notices,
• 1:24:20
  SPEAKER_00: but with lots and lots of kinder-like,
• 1:24:23
  SPEAKER_00: it will catch quickly,
• 1:24:25
  SPEAKER_00: but give her enough time that she can kind of sneak away,
• 1:24:28
  SPEAKER_00: and their attention will be drawn to said fire.
• 1:24:32
  SPEAKER_00: At least on the upper floor.
• 1:24:32
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:24:37
  SPEAKER_01: Are you able to do that?
• 1:24:40
  SPEAKER_01: Let me check to see, what are you using to start the fire?
• 1:24:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:24:51
  SPEAKER_00: I assume the little fire starting, it's like a flint or something, right?
• 1:24:57
  SPEAKER_01: Tinderbox?
• 1:24:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:25:00
  SPEAKER_01: Tinderbox?
• 1:25:00
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:25:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's just like a flint and matchstick type deal.
• 1:25:07
  SPEAKER_00: Indeed.
• 1:25:07
  SPEAKER_01: Go ahead and, uh, I'm making another sleight of hand check.
• 1:25:21
  SPEAKER_00: Hang on, I gotta do that again.
• 1:25:23
  SPEAKER_00: Um, that's a 12.
• 1:25:24
  SPEAKER_00: Plus 8.
• 1:25:35
  SPEAKER_01: You're able to strike a fire pretty quickly.
• 1:25:39
  SPEAKER_01: It does start out small, so you set it up where as it grows it has fuel and whatnot.
• 1:25:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:25:48
  SPEAKER_00: We're hoping to catch the curtain and climb up the wall so that it's not
• 1:25:54
  SPEAKER_00: at least immediately stomped out.
• 1:25:57
  SPEAKER_00: And then we're sneaking away.
• 1:26:00
  SPEAKER_01: With that stealth check,
• 1:26:01
  SPEAKER_01: you're able to,
• 1:26:02
  SPEAKER_01: and you do see a stairway that connects this balcony to
• 1:26:07
  SPEAKER_01: the downstairs area.
• 1:26:18
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, if we're still on me, she's...
• 1:26:22
  SPEAKER_01: Or you could jump over the balcony.
• 1:26:26
  SPEAKER_00: How high up does the darkness descend?
• 1:26:30
  SPEAKER_01: 15 feet.
• 1:26:30
  SPEAKER_01: So it's a 15 foot sphere.
• 1:26:32
  SPEAKER_01: It's 15 feet in every direction.
• 1:26:33
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:26:34
  SPEAKER_00: So if I jump,
• 1:26:35
  SPEAKER_00: I will be covered by the darkness pretty quickly
• 1:26:38
  SPEAKER_00: that I don't think anybody's really going to notice?
• 1:26:41
  SPEAKER_01: Correct.
• 1:26:42
  SPEAKER_01: If you do it because of your stealth roll, yes.
• 1:26:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:26:46
  SPEAKER_00: With gusto.
• 1:26:47
  SPEAKER_00: Then we're just going to jump.
• 1:26:50
  SPEAKER_00: It's the fastest way.
• 1:26:51
  SPEAKER_01: You are going to need to make an acrobatics or athletics check.
• 1:26:58
  SPEAKER_00: My athletics is better.
• 1:27:03
  SPEAKER_00: It's a 10.
• 1:27:05
  SPEAKER_00: Plus 10.
• 1:27:05
  SPEAKER_00: 30, 20.
• 1:27:06
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:27:10
  SPEAKER_01: You do so with ease.
• 1:27:11
  SPEAKER_01: You run and jump over the balcony
• 1:27:16
  SPEAKER_01: into the smoke and land
• 1:27:22
  SPEAKER_01: next to Joakim and his shadow.
• 1:27:25
  SPEAKER_01: Joakim!
• 1:27:27
  SPEAKER_00: Sunk.
• 1:27:32
  SPEAKER_01: In the middle of your attempted negotiations with the boss,
• 1:27:39
  SPEAKER_01: you hear distant footsteps and you're concerned for a moment and then you hear
• 1:27:45
  SPEAKER_01: a whoosh and then just the thunk next to you.
• 1:27:52
  SPEAKER_01: And I see Lala.
• 1:27:56
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you see Lala.
• 1:28:00
  SPEAKER_02: I'm just,
• 1:28:03
  SPEAKER_02: I'm initially surprised,
• 1:28:05
  SPEAKER_02: so I'm kind of wide-eyed when I see her,
• 1:28:09
  SPEAKER_02: and I start to say something,
• 1:28:10
  SPEAKER_02: but then I catch myself,
• 1:28:14
  SPEAKER_02: and I'm just kind of looking ahead of her,
• 1:28:16
  SPEAKER_02: giving her this, how the hell did you get in here?
• 1:28:20
  SPEAKER_02: The door is locked.
• 1:28:23
  SPEAKER_02: I don't say that, I'm just, I'm thinking it.
• 1:28:28
  SPEAKER_00: Is the door covered by the darkness?
• 1:28:33
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 1:28:34
  SPEAKER_00: Shit.
• 1:28:38
  SPEAKER_01: It's just on the outside edge of the darkness.
• 1:28:43
  SPEAKER_00: Joaquin can move it, right?
• 1:28:44
  SPEAKER_00: Like, it moves with him, right?
• 1:28:47
  SPEAKER_01: You've seen it move with him before, but you've also seen it remain stationary.
• 1:28:52
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:28:54
  SPEAKER_00: So she kind of like...
• 1:28:56
  SPEAKER_00: Puts her,
• 1:28:56
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 1:28:56
  SPEAKER_00: does the shh,
• 1:28:58
  SPEAKER_00: finger-over-them-lips motion,
• 1:29:00
  SPEAKER_00: and then,
• 1:29:00
  SPEAKER_00: like, two hands cupping, like, over this way, like, move us towards the door.
• 1:29:05
  SPEAKER_00: Um, because she wants to pick the lock and just GTFO.
• 1:29:12
  SPEAKER_02: Is there anyone between us and the door?
• 1:29:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, that you are surrounded.
• 1:29:19
  SPEAKER_00: We will, we will merc them.
• 1:29:26
  SPEAKER_01: Ruffians, not guards, because it was just people that were sitting in here, but...
• 1:29:36
  SPEAKER_01: I'd say there's probably four or five people that you'd have to contest
• 1:29:42
  SPEAKER_01: with inside your darkness if you move the darkness that way.
• 1:29:47
  SPEAKER_00: All just near the door.
• 1:29:50
  SPEAKER_00: Door's only two people wide.
• 1:29:56
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, but to confirm, four by the door.
• 1:30:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, because even though there don't be only a couple people in front of the door,
• 1:30:06
  SPEAKER_01: they're within close proximity of each other.
• 1:30:08
  SPEAKER_01: They're basically creating a net so that no one can sneak through.
• 1:30:16
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, I'm going to look at Lala and I'm going to kind of motion for her to stay put.
• 1:30:25
  SPEAKER_02: And then...
• 1:30:27
  SPEAKER_02: Let's do some Witch Boy stuff.
• 1:30:30
  SPEAKER_02: So we're going to use our new toy,
• 1:30:37
  SPEAKER_02: the Illusionist Bracers, and then we will bonus action cast and action cast.
• 1:30:45
  SPEAKER_02: So we're going to double cast Minor Illusion.
• 1:30:51
  SPEAKER_02: I am going to Minor Illusion A large demonic eye on the surface of my darkness.
• 1:31:05
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:31:06
  SPEAKER_02: And then I am going to Minor Illusion.
• 1:31:09
  SPEAKER_02: I'm
• 1:31:15
  SPEAKER_02: going to use Minor Illusion to change my voice to make it sound like Zilganauts.
• 1:31:21
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:31:21
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:31:24
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, and then I am going to, uh,
• 1:31:30
  SPEAKER_02: say to them, well, I guess, specifically, uh, to the boss.
• 1:31:43
  SPEAKER_02: You foolish mortal.
• 1:31:46
  SPEAKER_02: In Zilganoth's voice.
• 1:31:49
  SPEAKER_02: As the eye kind of trains on him,
• 1:31:54
  SPEAKER_02: And then I will say, because
• 1:32:05
  SPEAKER_02: I am feeling generous, I will give you one opportunity.
• 1:32:11
  SPEAKER_02: Release my agent or all of you will burn with my fury.
• 1:32:31
  SPEAKER_01: He laughs.
• 1:32:37
  SPEAKER_02: I will...
• 1:32:41
  SPEAKER_02: And as he says that,
• 1:32:42
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to motion a little bit further backwards towards the door.
• 1:32:50
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 1:32:51
  SPEAKER_02: So that the door is covered in darkness.
• 1:32:55
  SPEAKER_01: You'd only have to move about five feet back to get the door covered in darkness.
• 1:32:59
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:33:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:33:01
  SPEAKER_01: You also cover those individuals that were on the edge of that side in the darkness.
• 1:33:07
  SPEAKER_02: I am going to have
• 1:33:16
  SPEAKER_02: shadow
• 1:33:26
  SPEAKER_02: So, I apologize.
• 1:33:27
  SPEAKER_02: When I summon the shadow, I want to do the normal thing where I summon it with an extra attack?
• 1:33:33
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 1:33:35
  SPEAKER_02: And then I am going to have a shade glare one of the guys in front of the door.
• 1:33:43
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 1:33:49
  SPEAKER_01: Or is that a...
• 1:33:53
  SPEAKER_02: A stone hole.
• 1:33:54
  SPEAKER_02: I believe it is a Wisdom save, DC 17.
• 1:34:00
  SPEAKER_01: They failed, they rolled a 2.
• 1:34:02
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 1:34:06
  SPEAKER_02: And then I will also have my Shadow Shade Whip to grapple it.
• 1:34:15
  SPEAKER_02: Grapple that one.
• 1:34:16
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the same one.
• 1:34:18
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 1:34:19
  SPEAKER_02: Let me make sure... Storm Shadow...
• 1:34:28
  SPEAKER_02: Wait, no, I gotta go to Extras.
• 1:34:30
  SPEAKER_02: Conjured Chats, thank you.
• 1:34:35
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so if he's paralyzed,
• 1:34:37
  SPEAKER_02: then that should automatically fail, so he is paralyzed and grappled?
• 1:34:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 1:34:51
  SPEAKER_02: Is there any way I can pull him in?
• 1:34:53
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know if I can do that.
• 1:34:57
  SPEAKER_02: Pull him away from the door a little bit?
• 1:35:00
  SPEAKER_01: The shadow would need to use... With someone grappled, the shadow could move at half speed.
• 1:35:13
  SPEAKER_01: So, yes.
• 1:35:15
  SPEAKER_01: It would be like a 15-foot movement.
• 1:35:18
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 1:35:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, just to kind of get him out of the way of the door?
• 1:35:23
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, that's one of them.
• 1:35:25
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 1:35:26
  SPEAKER_02: Um...
• 1:35:28
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think I can do anything else in this turn,
• 1:35:31
  SPEAKER_02: though, because I've used action, bonus action.
• 1:35:34
  SPEAKER_02: Pseudo turn, but yeah.
• 1:35:36
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, pseudo turn.
• 1:35:42
  SPEAKER_02: Unless you want me to do more stuff, because I can do more stuff.
• 1:35:45
  SPEAKER_01: So, who of the four guys run out of the darkness?
• 1:35:49
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 1:35:51
  SPEAKER_01: And to the outskirts of it along the respective sides that they're at?
• 1:35:58
  SPEAKER_01: They did not like the darkness enveloping them.
• 1:36:00
  SPEAKER_01: They got scared.
• 1:36:02
  SPEAKER_00: So there's only one other guy to contest with.
• 1:36:14
  SPEAKER_02: Alright, so one's taken care of.
• 1:36:15
  SPEAKER_00: I can shank him.
• 1:36:21
  SPEAKER_02: I look at Lala and shake my head, no.
• 1:36:24
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to...
• 1:36:28
  SPEAKER_02: Then, since no one else has moved anything,
• 1:36:31
  SPEAKER_02: I'm still using,
• 1:36:32
  SPEAKER_02: so we're going to bonus action,
• 1:36:35
  SPEAKER_02: continue to manipulate the eye to look menacingly around and keeping people at bay.
• 1:36:44
  SPEAKER_02: And with the door covered in darkness,
• 1:36:47
  SPEAKER_02: I and us still in darkness, I am going to cast Spell Magic on the door.
• 1:36:54
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:36:59
  SPEAKER_01: As you do that, Lala, your fire takes.
• 1:37:06
  SPEAKER_01: And the hole upstairs begins filling up with smoke.
• 1:37:12
  SPEAKER_00: There's the silent tears.
• 1:37:15
  SPEAKER_02: I immediately look down at Lala,
• 1:37:17

  SPEAKER_00: There were more upstairs, like, pointing.
• 1:37:32
  SPEAKER_00: As she says, upstairs.

  SPEAKER_00: And she's very proud of herself, honestly.
• 1:37:38
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, I can tell.
• 1:37:40
  SPEAKER_02: And he's just, he's completely flabbergasted.
• 1:37:42
  SPEAKER_02: He's just like, he's just mouthing, so you burn them?
• 1:37:48
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think,
• 1:37:48
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not sure if you can read his lips,
• 1:37:50
  SPEAKER_02: but he's just,
• 1:37:50
  SPEAKER_02: he's almost just kind of talking to himself, like, set the building on fire, but...
• 1:37:57
  SPEAKER_00: I feel like this is like whisper lip reading where we're like,
• 1:38:00
  SPEAKER_00: we don't want it to leave the darkness so I can like kind of tell what you're saying
• 1:38:04
  SPEAKER_00: and she's doing the same thing back and she's like,
• 1:38:08
  SPEAKER_00: no, I distracted and like make the little sneaky fingers motion.
• 1:38:15
  SPEAKER_00: I distracted her.
• 1:38:17
  SPEAKER_02: What do you think I'm doing here with the darkness and the eyes and the
• 1:38:23
  SPEAKER_02: and you're going to burn their building down?
• 1:38:27
  SPEAKER_00: This isn't a distraction.
• 1:38:29
  SPEAKER_00: I'm looking right at you.
• 1:38:32
  Stop.
• 1:38:32
  Stop.
• 1:38:33
  SPEAKER_02: The door is open.
• 1:38:37
  SPEAKER_01: It's not open yet.
• 1:38:39
  SPEAKER_01: It's not?
• 1:38:40
  SPEAKER_01: You have to roll a...
• 1:38:41
  SPEAKER_00: I was going to say, he means that there's nobody guarding it.
• 1:38:45
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 1:38:47
  SPEAKER_01: But roll a...
• 1:38:51
  SPEAKER_01: D20 and add your spellcasting ability to it.
• 1:38:56
  SPEAKER_02: Wait.
• 1:38:57
  SPEAKER_02: Just a flat d20?
• 1:39:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so it'd be your d20 plus your modifier.
• 1:39:10
  SPEAKER_01: So you're
• 1:39:13
  SPEAKER_02: basically just rolling a charisma check?
• 1:39:17
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:39:18
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 1:39:19
  SPEAKER_02: Can I use an inspiration to roll the set advantage?
• 1:39:23
  SPEAKER_01: Of course.
• 1:39:26
  SPEAKER_01: All right, marking that off.
• 1:39:28
  SPEAKER_01: It's just to attempt to dispell the door.
• 1:39:38
  SPEAKER_02: What did I roll?
• 1:39:40
  SPEAKER_01: The 18.
• 1:39:41
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to hero point that.
• 1:39:44
  SPEAKER_01: Go ahead, roll your d6.
• 1:39:47
  SPEAKER_02: Mark off the hero point.
• 1:39:51
  SPEAKER_02: And the d6.
• 1:39:55

  SPEAKER_01: Uh, you feel the magic around the door dispel.
• 1:40:14
  SPEAKER_02: Oh!
• 1:40:15
  SPEAKER_02: It's the first time I used that spell.
• 1:40:18
  SPEAKER_02: Joaquin is surprised, it's like, holy crap, it worked!
• 1:40:21
  SPEAKER_02: The door's open.
• 1:40:25
  SPEAKER_02: Is it?
• 1:40:25
  SPEAKER_01: It's not open, but there's no magic on it.
• 1:40:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:40:31
  SPEAKER_00: She's going to try to open it.
• 1:40:33
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if it's still just locked.
• 1:40:37
  SPEAKER_00: Now's my time to shine.
• 1:40:40
  SPEAKER_00: Pull out the lockpick kit.
• 1:40:43
  SPEAKER_01: So as you are lockpicking the door,
• 1:40:46
  SPEAKER_01: we are going to go back to the street with Dee, Kroka, and Yenor.
• 1:40:54
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, no.
• 1:40:57
  SPEAKER_01: 20 gold per person as a tithe every week and we shall leave you
• 1:41:04
  SPEAKER_01: and your business associates alone.
• 1:41:08
  SPEAKER_03: Do you have a supervisor or no?
• 1:41:12
  SPEAKER_03: Are you the supervisor?
• 1:41:13
  SPEAKER_03: You look like you could be in charge.
• 1:41:16
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, I couldn't be in charge.
• 1:41:18
  SPEAKER_03: No, no, no, no.
• 1:41:19
  SPEAKER_03: You have a supervisor then?
• 1:41:21
  SPEAKER_01: I do.
• 1:41:23
  SPEAKER_03: Fantastic.
• 1:41:24
  SPEAKER_03: Could I meet with him?
• 1:41:26
  SPEAKER_01: He doesn't need to know about our dealings in this part of town.
• 1:41:31
  SPEAKER_03: It'd be really unfortunate if it got found out then, huh?
• 1:41:36
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe.
• 1:41:40
  SPEAKER_01: Bad things happen to people that find out things.
• 1:41:45
  SPEAKER_03: Well, you wouldn't want to hurt your supervisor.
• 1:41:48
  SPEAKER_01: I wouldn't hurt anybody.
• 1:41:50
  SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
• 1:41:54
  SPEAKER_01: As you're having this conversation,
• 1:41:56
  SPEAKER_01: one of the buildings across the street, some smoke starts coming out of the window.
• 1:41:59
  SPEAKER_03: Like across the street?
• 1:42:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:42:03
  SPEAKER_03: Hey, what's that?
• 1:42:05
  SPEAKER_03: And she points.
• 1:42:07
  SPEAKER_01: It looks like a fire.
• 1:42:10
  SPEAKER_03: Dude, where's the fire brigade?
• 1:42:13
  SPEAKER_03: Does this town have one in this area?
• 1:42:15
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 1:42:16
  SPEAKER_03: No?
• 1:42:17
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 1:42:18
  SPEAKER_03: Are there people inside?
• 1:42:20
  Probably.
• 1:42:21
  SPEAKER_03: We should go help them.
• 1:42:22
  SPEAKER_03: Because you provide protection services.
• 1:42:25
  SPEAKER_01: Not to that building.
• 1:42:30
  SPEAKER_03: What a way to show goodwill.
• 1:42:34
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not here for goodwill.
• 1:42:42
  SPEAKER_03: What kind of vibes is he giving off?
• 1:42:45
  SPEAKER_01: Greedy vibes.
• 1:42:47
  SPEAKER_03: What's his stance?
• 1:42:49
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, he's still got a hand on his hilt.
• 1:42:55
  SPEAKER_03: Is he trying to be like intimidating?
• 1:42:58
  SPEAKER_03: No.
• 1:42:59
  SPEAKER_01: Slimey.
• 1:43:00
  SPEAKER_03: So he just wants my money?
• 1:43:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:43:03
  SPEAKER_03: Do I think he's actually a cop or a guard, like official?
• 1:43:06
  SPEAKER_01: Make an insight check.
• 1:43:08
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'll do that.
• 1:43:09
  SPEAKER_01: That one needs an insight check.
• 1:43:14
  SPEAKER_03: I will hero point it.
• 1:43:20
  SPEAKER_03: Ew.
• 1:43:20
  SPEAKER_03: 24.
• 1:43:27
  SPEAKER_01: This feels very much like an individual
• 1:43:35
  SPEAKER_01: that either used to be a guard or has stolen
• 1:43:38
  SPEAKER_01: a guard's outfit.
• 1:43:40
  SPEAKER_03: So is not currently a guard.
• 1:43:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:43:44
  SPEAKER_03: What about the others?
• 1:43:46
  SPEAKER_01: You haven't been talking to them.
• 1:43:48
  SPEAKER_03: I've been seeing them though.
• 1:43:49
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:43:49
  SPEAKER_03: Are they acting the same way this guy is?
• 1:43:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:43:53
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:43:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:43:57
  SPEAKER_03: Is the uniform like ill-fitting?
• 1:44:00
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 1:44:01
  SPEAKER_03: No.
• 1:44:07
  SPEAKER_03: Just here and there, but I'm going to start walking towards the burning building.
• 1:44:13
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:44:15
  SPEAKER_01: D.
• 1:44:17
  SPEAKER_01: As you also see the smoke and stuff,
• 1:44:21
  SPEAKER_01: when Eonora starts walking towards the building,
• 1:44:24
  SPEAKER_01: you see, like, black wisps ever so often kind of going through the door.
• 1:44:31
  SPEAKER_01: Is there anybody near me?
• 1:44:37
  SPEAKER_01: Like, Krakka's behind you,
• 1:44:38
  SPEAKER_01: and there's a couple guards, but they're kind of away from you a little bit.
• 1:44:42
  SPEAKER_03: Krakka, do you see that?
• 1:44:45
  SPEAKER_03: They're not regular flames.
• 1:44:48
  SPEAKER_01: That doesn't look like regular flames to me.
• 1:44:54
  SPEAKER_01: And you see Ignora walking towards it.
• 1:44:58
  SPEAKER_03: No, don't go there.
• 1:45:00
  SPEAKER_03: Come back here.
• 1:45:03
  SPEAKER_03: There could be people in there.
• 1:45:07
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but look at the black.
• 1:45:09
  SPEAKER_03: Not the smoke, but you see the flames?
• 1:45:11
  SPEAKER_03: You see those, like, black shadow things?
• 1:45:14
  SPEAKER_03: Nope.
• 1:45:17
  SPEAKER_03: Who went missing near here that has black shadows?
• 1:45:25
  SPEAKER_03: Who do we know?
• 1:45:25
  SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
• 1:45:27
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:45:29
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 1:45:30
  SPEAKER_03: They were right here.
• 1:45:33
  SPEAKER_03: That's Lala's husk.
• 1:45:37
  SPEAKER_03: Oh no.
• 1:45:40
  SPEAKER_03: Listen, they might be there.
• 1:45:43
  SPEAKER_03: There's black shadows and they've set it on fire.
• 1:45:48
  SPEAKER_03: That is a very Lala thing to do.
• 1:45:51
  SPEAKER_01: Lala likes fire.
• 1:45:54
  SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
• 1:45:56
  SPEAKER_03: She'll continue walking towards it.
• 1:45:59
  SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna follow.
• 1:46:03
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:46:05
  SPEAKER_01: Lala, go ahead and make your sleight of hand check for this door.
• 1:46:09
  SPEAKER_00: Woohoo!
• 1:46:12
  SPEAKER_00: That's a natural 20.
• 1:46:14
  SPEAKER_01: Ooh, everyone gets an inspiration back.
• 1:46:17
  SPEAKER_00: Plus, Slate of Hand is 8.
• 1:46:20
  SPEAKER_00: 28.
• 1:46:21
  SPEAKER_01: So you get this door open.
• 1:46:23
  SPEAKER_00: They're busting the shit out of this door.
• 1:46:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yenor and Deedle and Krakka.
• 1:46:30
  SPEAKER_01: The door flings open when you're about 10 feet from it.
• 1:46:35
  SPEAKER_01: And you just see this wall of darkness and then just Lala's hands just kind of in
• 1:46:41
  SPEAKER_01: the same position that they were when the door unlocked.
• 1:46:47
  SPEAKER_03: Oh no.
• 1:46:53
  SPEAKER_01: And Joachim, the door opens and you see Yenor, Deedle, and Kraka.
• 1:46:59
  SPEAKER_01: And Puppyfish.
• 1:47:05
  SPEAKER_00: We make for an alley and then sneak.
• 1:47:09
  SPEAKER_00: No one has to know we were here.
• 1:47:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I guess if that's the case, then We'll just kind of
• 1:47:17
  SPEAKER_01: flow
• 1:47:20
  SPEAKER_02: out of there in darkness.
• 1:47:24
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the whole way through.
• 1:47:29
  SPEAKER_01: It is a 15-foot sphere of darkness in broad daylight.
• 1:47:42
  SPEAKER_02: Is there anyone else that I see aside from our group?
• 1:47:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the entire building followed you out.
• 1:47:51
  SPEAKER_02: All these bad guys?
• 1:47:54
  SPEAKER_01: Their building's on fire.
• 1:47:55
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, well.
• 1:47:57
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, once we're outside, then... Yeah,
• 1:48:00
  SPEAKER_02: if it's fully on fire,
• 1:48:01
  SPEAKER_02: once we're outside, I guess we just slip away and I dispel the darkness.
• 1:48:16
  SPEAKER_01: There is no slipping away.
• 1:48:21
  SPEAKER_00: Can we, like, so, like,
• 1:48:25
  SPEAKER_00: grab Gnor and Deedle and Krakka's hands, like,
• 1:48:29
  SPEAKER_00: as the darkness envelops them and just,
• 1:48:32
  SPEAKER_00: like, take off into a dark alley where potentially no one can follow us?
• 1:48:39
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, the darkness is following us, but that's fine.
• 1:48:43
  SPEAKER_02: And I still have one of them grappled.
• 1:48:46
  SPEAKER_01: The fire has garnered a crowd.
• 1:48:53
  SPEAKER_01: So there's no easy way to slip between this crowd with your group?
• 1:49:01
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, now they just get slightly enveloped,
• 1:49:03
  SPEAKER_00: but as we move, I assume they would become unenveloped.
• 1:49:08
  SPEAKER_01: I meant the crowd is tightly packed.
• 1:49:12
  SPEAKER_00: Man...
• 1:49:13
  SPEAKER_00: This town is just full of looky-loos with nothing better to do.
• 1:49:16
  SPEAKER_02: Well, as we move away and into the crowd, there's that darkness.
• 1:49:22
  SPEAKER_02: Can I dispel the darkness and then we slip into the crowd?
• 1:49:26
  SPEAKER_02: Because they didn't see what we look like.
• 1:49:28
  SPEAKER_02: They don't know anything about...
• 1:49:32
  SPEAKER_02: The crowd doesn't.
• 1:49:34
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:49:37
  SPEAKER_02: And can we, again, just try and kind of slip away from...
• 1:49:43
  SPEAKER_02: The guys that were inside that place.
• 1:49:48
  SPEAKER_02: I would think that they would be more concerned with the fact
• 1:49:50
  SPEAKER_02: that their building's burning down.
• 1:49:53
  SPEAKER_02: And they don't know how it started burning.
• 1:49:56
  SPEAKER_01: Deedle and Yenor.
• 1:49:58
  SPEAKER_01: The darkness moves out and around you and then you feel hands just grab you.
• 1:50:06
  SPEAKER_01: And say, come on.
• 1:50:08
  SPEAKER_03: I grabbed the hand.
• 1:50:09
  SPEAKER_03: What the hell is this?
• 1:50:11
  SPEAKER_00: Do I grab it?
• 1:50:13
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay.
• 1:50:15
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:50:21
  SPEAKER_01: You reach the edge of the crowd,
• 1:50:23
  SPEAKER_01: Wakim and Lala, since you're the only two that can see in Wakim's darkness.
• 1:50:33
  SPEAKER_00: Turn around and, like, look at the building, like, oh my god, what's happening?
• 1:50:39
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, don't bother with that.
• 1:50:44
  SPEAKER_01: Alala, do you also grab... Puppyfish is still sitting by your broom bucket.
• 1:50:49
  SPEAKER_01: What a dork.
• 1:50:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, he has to come too.
• 1:50:52
  SPEAKER_00: He's got a leash so she'll probably just like throw his little rope around him and bug him.
• 1:50:58
  SPEAKER_01: You don't have time to get the rope around him.
• 1:51:01
  SPEAKER_02: We're also gonna...
• 1:51:03
  SPEAKER_02: Do we want to keep this guy that I have paralyzed or do we want to get rid
• 1:51:07
  SPEAKER_02: of him too?
• 1:51:11
  SPEAKER_00: I mean... You could throw him back in the building.
• 1:51:15
  SPEAKER_01: He's in the building, that's where he's paralyzed.
• 1:51:18
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, no, I had him grappled, so he should have been moving with us.
• 1:51:23
  SPEAKER_01: Were you also moving him with you?
• 1:51:27
  SPEAKER_01: If you were, you can't run.
• 1:51:29
  SPEAKER_02: At least on the outside.
• 1:51:31
  SPEAKER_02: All right, so I wouldn't leave him in the building to...
• 1:51:35
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, if you're just moving him outside of the building, that's fine.
• 1:51:39
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, okay.
• 1:51:44
  SPEAKER_02: But yeah,
• 1:51:45
  SPEAKER_02: I guess we are slipping away unless y'all are doing something else because I'm done
• 1:51:49
  SPEAKER_02: with these.
• 1:51:49
  SPEAKER_01: I need each of you to make a stealth check.
• 1:51:54
  SPEAKER_00: Can I, like as Joaquin drops our darkness, cast Cast Without a Trace?
• 1:52:02
  SPEAKER_01: You can, so that adds 10 to everyone's stealth check.
• 1:52:08
  SPEAKER_00: Boogie.
• 1:52:13
  SPEAKER_03: That makes mine a 26.
• 1:52:17
  SPEAKER_00: Twelve, plus ten is twenty-two, plus my stealth is another twelve.
• 1:52:23
  SPEAKER_02: Plus ten, uh, so then mine would be a thirty-one.
• 1:52:28
  SPEAKER_01: Thirty-one.
• 1:52:29
  SPEAKER_00: Thirty-four.
• 1:52:31
  SPEAKER_01: Thirty-four.
• 1:52:32
  SPEAKER_01: Fuck, I got a thirty-six.
• 1:52:38
  SPEAKER_01: D, I need your stealth check.
• 1:52:43
  SPEAKER_01: The fares is working.
• 1:52:46
  SPEAKER_01: Roll.
• 1:52:47
  SPEAKER_01: Roll from her sheet.
• 1:52:50
  SPEAKER_01: Twenty-two, that's a thirty-two.
• 1:52:53
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, you guys all easily slip and blend into the gra- uh.
• 1:53:00
  SPEAKER_01: Alala, roll a d20 and add six for Puppyfish.
• 1:53:08
  SPEAKER_00: Am I allowed to re-roll his rolls?
• 1:53:12
  SPEAKER_01: He does not have inspiration.
• 1:53:14
  SPEAKER_00: Goddammit!
• 1:53:16
  SPEAKER_00: He got a three.
• 1:53:20
  SPEAKER_01: You guys are still easily to blend back into the crowd.
• 1:53:22
  SPEAKER_01: I'm assuming you're abandoning your cleaning supplies.
• 1:53:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:53:27
  SPEAKER_00: Sadly.
• 1:53:31
  SPEAKER_02: Sadness.
• 1:53:36
  SPEAKER_01: You see there's now panic ensuing as the building is going up more in flames.
• 1:53:45
  SPEAKER_01: And then you just see this giant guy, Yenor.
• 1:53:49
  SPEAKER_01: This would be the first time you see him in Deedle.
• 1:53:52
  SPEAKER_01: The first time you see him.
• 1:53:53
  SPEAKER_01: This almost seven foot tall human just built like a brick house.
• 1:53:57
  SPEAKER_01: Step out and stand above the crowd and just kind of stare out into the crowd.
• 1:54:02
  SPEAKER_01: Seething.
• 1:54:06
  SPEAKER_01: You feel like he makes eye contact with you for a second, but then he just keeps looking.
• 1:54:10
  SPEAKER_01: And he turns around and says, Alright, you lot!
• 1:54:15
  SPEAKER_01: Get this fire out!
• 1:54:18
  SPEAKER_01: I see everyone start scrambling.
• 1:54:22
  SPEAKER_01: As you guys, uh... Run back to...
• 1:54:29
  SPEAKER_01: Your guild hall.
• 1:54:38
  SPEAKER_01: Gotta kinda greet you at the front step.
• 1:54:40
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, uh...
• 1:54:43
  SPEAKER_01: So how was your trip?
• 1:54:47
  SPEAKER_00: Did you find
• 1:54:53
  SPEAKER_00: the cleaning supplies?
• 1:55:01
  SPEAKER_01: What happened to the cleaning supplies?
• 1:55:04
  SPEAKER_02: I just kind of give Lala a side eye.
• 1:55:07
  SPEAKER_02: She apparently turned them into kindlings.
• 1:55:11
  SPEAKER_00: No, I left them on the sidewalk because we were trying to get away.
• 1:55:18
  SPEAKER_00: If you did not notice.
• 1:55:20
  SPEAKER_01: Is this before or after we killed somebody?
• 1:55:24
  SPEAKER_00: After.
• 1:55:33
  SPEAKER_01: How were our neighbors?
• 1:55:36
  SPEAKER_00: They were not neighbors.
• 1:55:38
  SPEAKER_00: They tried to Kidnapped Joachim, and he grabbed me.
• 1:55:47
  SPEAKER_01: Joachim grabbed you?
• 1:55:49
  SPEAKER_00: No, the husk.
• 1:55:52
  SPEAKER_01: Why is there a husk?
• 1:55:54
  SPEAKER_00: Because I killed him.
• 1:55:57
  SPEAKER_00: He should not have tried to grab me.
• 1:56:03
  SPEAKER_01: What?
• 1:56:07
  SPEAKER_01: She looks at you, you're normal, I love.
• 1:56:09
  SPEAKER_01: Were you able to get them out of this situation safely?
• 1:56:14
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, they technically got themselves out.
• 1:56:18
  SPEAKER_01: Not safely.
• 1:56:21
  SPEAKER_00: That wasn't a requirement.
• 1:56:23
  SPEAKER_00: Safe and sound.
• 1:56:30
  SPEAKER_01: So, no cleaning supplies.
• 1:56:35
  SPEAKER_01: Didn't make friends.
• 1:56:44
  SPEAKER_02: This is a friendly town.
• 1:56:49
  SPEAKER_02: If anything,
• 1:56:49
  SPEAKER_02: we unearthed some plotters against the council,
• 1:56:54
  SPEAKER_02: so that could be good cred with the council.
• 1:56:58
  SPEAKER_02: But no, no friends.
• 1:57:00
  SPEAKER_01: We were told no shenanigans.
• 1:57:04
  SPEAKER_02: I would not call today's event shenanigans.
• 1:57:07
  SPEAKER_02: But then he kind of considers for a second, then he just looks at Lala.
• 1:57:11
  SPEAKER_02: She might...
• 1:57:13
  SPEAKER_02: But I wouldn't.
• 1:57:17
  SPEAKER_00: I rescued you.
• 1:57:24
  SPEAKER_02: He just gives her like this enraged look.
• 1:57:31
  SPEAKER_02: That's what you call a rescue.
• 1:57:35
  SPEAKER_01: Next time, let's try not to light things on fire.
• 1:57:40
  SPEAKER_01: I can see the smoke from here,
• 1:57:42
  SPEAKER_01: and you just look up in the sky, and there's just this plume of smoke.
• 1:57:46
  SPEAKER_00: There was like 23 of them, and then me.
• 1:57:50
  SPEAKER_00: What would you suggest?
• 1:57:53
  SPEAKER_01: Stucking it out?
• 1:57:56
  SPEAKER_01: Bluffing.
• 1:57:57
  SPEAKER_00: But he already tried that.
• 1:57:58
  SPEAKER_00: That's why he was stuck in there.
• 1:58:03
  SPEAKER_01: Bluffing and calling for help at the same time.
• 1:58:11
  SPEAKER_00: Fine.
• 1:58:12
  SPEAKER_00: Next time, you do the rescuing.
• 1:58:14
  SPEAKER_00: Hmph.
• 1:58:15
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I still- I- My wife went out there, so, you know.
• 1:58:25
  SPEAKER_01: Still, I'm glad you are all safe.
• 1:58:29
  SPEAKER_01: And that only one person had to suffer in this unfortunate incident.
• 1:58:40
  SPEAKER_01: I think I will take Iris out later since my face should not be recognized
• 1:58:47
  SPEAKER_01: and I will try and recover some of our supplies.
• 1:58:53
  SPEAKER_03: Remember, she likes dresses.
• 1:58:57
  SPEAKER_01: She also likes eating birds.
• 1:59:01
  SPEAKER_03: One of these things is a lot more easily attainable than the other.
• 1:59:07
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not sure how we're gonna handle her trying to eat a pigeon off the street.
• 1:59:12
  SPEAKER_03: Tell her not to and we'll buy her a dress.
• 1:59:20
  SPEAKER_01: Lala, I will replace your cleaning supplies.
• 1:59:26
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, thanks, but nobody is considering my suffering here.
• 1:59:30
  SPEAKER_00: That man grabbed me.
• 1:59:34
  SPEAKER_00: I may never recover.
• 1:59:37
  SPEAKER_01: You've never been grabbed before by a guard?
• 1:59:41
  SPEAKER_00: He was not a guard.
• 1:59:43
  SPEAKER_00: He was some random man.
• 1:59:46
  SPEAKER_01: He was guarding something.
• 1:59:47
  SPEAKER_00: He was not.
• 1:59:50
  SPEAKER_00: He just did not want me to go save Joaquim.
• 1:59:55
  SPEAKER_00: Much like apparently you all don't want me to either.
• 1:59:58
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, we are appreciative of you doing it, just maybe not with the vandalism.
• 2:00:06
  SPEAKER_00: I'm glad you all care much more about the property than my life.
• 2:00:15
  SPEAKER_01: I care more about making sure your rescues don't come back
• 2:00:23
  SPEAKER_01: to cause some more trouble that require even more rescues for us.
• 2:00:35
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know what we'd do if you were thrown in jail.
• 2:00:48
  SPEAKER_00: She is offended and done listening and thus is just praising Puppyfish for his valor this day.
• 2:00:58
  SPEAKER_00: She will get him fishy treats.
• 2:01:01
  SPEAKER_01: It is about lunchtime now.
• 2:01:04
  SPEAKER_01: Is there anything else that you guys are going to do in this moment while there is
• 2:01:10
  SPEAKER_01: a fire in the sky?
• 2:01:11
  SPEAKER_01: I
• 2:01:20
  SPEAKER_02: feel like we've done enough.
• 2:01:28
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe notify the council.
• 2:01:30
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know if you guys want to do that, but.
• 2:01:36
  SPEAKER_02: I can't show my face over right now.
• 2:01:46
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 2:01:50
  SPEAKER_01: We're going to call it there for this session.
• 2:01:57
  SPEAKER_01: It's a good point to end.
• 2:02:02
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you all for tuning in, and we hope to see you next time.
• 2:02:10
  SPEAKER_02: That just spiraled out of nowhere.
• 2:02:12
  SPEAKER_02: That was hilarious, though.
• 2:02:17
  SPEAKER_00: They were not interested in negotiations.
• 2:02:21
  SPEAKER_00: And then what?
• 2:02:24
  SPEAKER_00: Called for help, and that cop, pretend cop would only help if I bragged him.
• 2:02:32
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know what he would have done against the 23 men.
• 2:02:44
  SPEAKER_01: Again, thank you all for tuning in and we will see you next time.
• 2:02:49
  SPEAKER_00: Enjoy your fishy treats.
• 2:02:52
  SPEAKER_02: Lots of fishy treats.
• 2:02:54
  SPEAKER_02: Have a good night.
