  SPEAKER_02: Sit back, stay hydrated, and prepare yourselves for tonight's adventure.
• 0:50
  It has been quite a while since we were last live,
• 0:54
  and all together we had a lot of...
• 0:57
  Sicknesses and life events happen,
• 0:59
  as does happen sometimes when trying to plan these things.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_02: But we are back, nevertheless, and I have a recap for you.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_02: After some more searching and brainstorming,
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_02: Wakim completed a teleportation circle with the help of his patron,
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_02: and secondhand souls convened to vote on their next plan of action.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_02: While discussing this, Wakim snuck off to Mr. Harold Phildo.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_02: As shadows enveloped his hand and Harold's body,
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_02: Yenor got to the doorway yelling about Wakim being a pervert.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_02: More shenanigans ensued and Harold regained consciousness.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_02: A different shadow thing began apporting from his body.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_02: Secondhand Souls successfully dispersed this entity,
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_02: called Lady Ren to finalize their plan,
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_02: opened a wormhole,
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_02: sent Herald through to Lady Ren,
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_02: and brought Kaida to rejoin them.
• 1:55
  After a brief reunion,
• 1:56
  they informed Kaida of the situation and their plan.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_02: Between Kaida and Wakim,
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_02: they teleported off to the city of Keldis,
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_02: or at least hoping to aim for the city of Keldis.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_02: and hoping that they got their location correct.
• 2:17
  So you guys had previously rolled various sets of dice to
• 2:25
  determine your location.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_02: Let me get your tokens on here appropriately.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_02: Gotta be a little cramped.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_02: As you guys come out of this
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_02: Instantaneous wormhole type deal.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_02: You appear in this very small cramped, almost musty like room.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_02: as a small little corridor that leads into this larger opening.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_02: Ynor, your wife speaks up.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_02: Huh.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_02: Joachim, are you sure you did the spell circle right?
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, as far as I know, I would also cast Detect Magic.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_02: I believe the Detect Magic aura is still up on yourself.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know if you had it up previously.
• 4:39
  You must have had it up previously for something,
• 4:41
  but it is up currently,
• 4:44
  has been.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_02: Love you guys.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_02: Who's got the highest?
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: What's lighting the room?
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_02: What's lighting the room?
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_02: There's no windows.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_02: You're underground.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_02: At least it feels like you're under, oh god, what is that?
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_00: That's my detect magic.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_02: Put your aura up.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't, because I wouldn't care how fun.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_02: I was going to say, I put your aura up.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, you did?
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_00: Because I couldn't see anything.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_00: I'll get rid of this thing.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you can't, it's a really, let me change the color of it.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_02: Krakka, it,
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_02: From the room that you're in,
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_02: you can't really see anything that is lighting up the room ahead of you.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_03: Dimly lit.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_01: I'm guessing.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, it is dimly lit.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_02: It's not brightly dimly lit.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_02: Joachim, is that better?
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
• 6:12
  For reference,
• 6:18
  for everyone looking,
• 6:20
  the light blue radius around Joachim is his detect magic.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_02: Roger.
• 6:30
  I had it a light gray before,
• 6:32
  but it was hard to see,
• 6:34
  I guess,
• 6:34
  for everyone else.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_02: Uh,
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_02: Lakim,
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_02: you would have little small pings of detect- of,
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_02: like,
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_02: fixed magical enchantments around.
• 6:52
  Would I be able to make any sort of check to kind of determine
• 6:55
  where we are?
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: Like a perception check or something?
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_02: I mean,
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_02: you could try to make a perception check,
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_02: but there's nothing of note that would indicate where you are currently.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, never mind.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: What am I sensing again, aside from just the magic of our group?
• 7:26
  There's like little pings of small magical enchantments about
• 7:31
  you ceiling height.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to look at Kay to kind of give a shrug.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to say the magic circles aren't really my thing,
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_00: but based on everything that I tried to do,
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: this felt like it was the right place.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know, but let's go see.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: And he will start to move forward a bit.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they'll come out here.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_02: As you step out here,
• 8:14
  it makes sense what's lighting a room as there's little
• 8:16
  floating crystals of dim
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_02: light above you in the ceiling.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_00: What does this room look like?
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_02: That I will have you make a perception check for.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_02: Yakeem, I'm asking you.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_02: What are you doing?
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: That's a natural 20.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_02: Asking Yakeem what the floating crystals lights are.
• 8:57
  Everyone gets an inspiration as Yakeem rolls a natural 20 on
• 9:02
  his perception check.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_02: Mark that for Kaida as well.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_02: Back with you.
• 9:20
  This room seems like some kind of underground storage room that
• 9:32
  hasn't been used in
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_02: a very long time.
• 9:39
  No sort of coat of arms or marks of nobility or anything that
• 9:43
  we recognize.
• 9:49
  There's some like so there's this like raised platform type
• 9:52
  deal right here.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_02: And there's some kind of thing on the wall here.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_02: But it's rather like scratched and dusted over and crumbled and
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_02: Not easy to tell from a glance.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_00: I would mention this to Kaida and Ynora.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: Kaida.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_00: Sorry, Kaida and Ynora, since they are both good with the investigation.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: Do you recognize this?
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_00: I can go look at it.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_00: What are these...
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_00: Floating light, are they crystals?
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_00: What kind of magic is coming off of the floating lights?
• 10:51
  Let me get you the specific magic type because you get the
• 10:55
  school of magic with detect magic.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_02: But I never remember the schools of magic.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_02: Here, let's see.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_02: So this would be...
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_02: Like enchantment magic.
• 11:58
  So I would look at Crocker and say,
• 12:02
  those things,
• 12:03
  it's just some enchantment magic.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_00: Don't even worry about it.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_00: Just lights.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_00: Well, do they always stay lit?
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_00: That's part of the magic.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_02: One heck of a dichotomy.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_02: If everyone can see Yanora's investigation check that she just rolled.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_00: Nah, it didn't pop up on my end.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_02: It's a natural 20 and a natural 1 with advantage.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_00: Oh jeez.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, I can send it to everyone.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_02: There.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_02: I sent it to everybody.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_02: She rolled the dichotomy of a dice roll.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_02: Everyone gets an inspiration back if you have it.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_02: With that natural 20.
• 13:06
  The advantage from Kaida doesn't really help much other than
• 13:10
  having support from your wife.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_02: Because you already have advantage on it.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_02: The symbol...
• 13:17
  that you're looking at very closely resembles the old family
• 13:29
  crest of the head of
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_02: the council,
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_02: or the Kaldesian council,
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_02: Lightbringer family.
• 13:45
  It's got some weird markings on it that you can't quite put
• 13:50
  your finger on.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_02: It's been altered slightly.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe purposefully.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_02: Being up on this platform,
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_02: also,
• 14:02
  the two slabs that you kind of had to walk around look to be a
• 14:10
  little dampened.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_00: By?
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_02: Do you investigate the dampness further?
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_00: I poke it.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_02: The dampness?
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_02: It's wet.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_00: What kind of wet?
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_02: Regular wet?
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_00: Like water wet?
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_02: Like a liquid.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_02: It's not slime.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_02: A liquid has been on it.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_00: But not water.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_02: Recently.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_02: Probably not.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_00: And we're in a glowing cave room with some manipulated family crest.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_00: Is this blood?
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_02: Do you look at your finger that you poke in it?
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's got that reddish-brown color.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_02: Could be blood.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I never did like the Lightbringers.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_00: That's probably them.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_00: She's gonna wipe it on her pants.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_02: There is a little corridor over here with a door.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_02: What are you guys... What are you guys doing?
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_00: Well,
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_00: I'm trying to...
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_00: I want to know if I can possibly...
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_00: Is there rafters or whatever up near those lights?
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_02: No, they're just floating crystals.
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_00: Where did you say there was a corridor with a door?
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_02: Over here.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_00: Let's go take a look.
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, you're going to walk over there?
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_02: You feel floor plate kind of sink down as you step.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_00: Can I take the dodge action?
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_02: I mean,
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_02: you can,
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_02: but all,
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_02: Praka,
• 16:40
  you would see this first is another portal opens up in the room
• 16:43
  that you just came
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_02: out of.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_00: Another portal?
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_02: What the hell?
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_02: Guys, another portal just opened up back there.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_00: If I take my foot off of it, does the portal go away or does it stay?
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_02: No, it's self-sustaining.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_00: I look to the group, too.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, portal?
• 17:19
  This...
• 17:21
  I turn around and stand in the hallway just for if anything
• 17:24
  comes out.
• 17:25
  This very large figure that kind of takes up the width of this
• 17:32
  oblong portal
• 17:34
  appears in the portal and two eyes through this shadowed face
• 17:41
  kind of just stare
• 17:42
  SPEAKER_02: through at you.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_02: Ha!
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_02: There you are.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_02: Guys, we have company.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_02: Do I recognize the voice at all or no?
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, you all would.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_02: It's the same one from that weird dream that you all collectively had.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, it's the dude?
• 18:04
  Yeah.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_00: In some kind of armor?
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_02: No, you just see all black, like shadow, and just two eyes.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_02: And then he slowly mirages away.
• 18:19
  And you just see a group of the giant armored individuals
• 18:27
  slowly walking towards the portal.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_00: Shit!
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_00: Can we close it?
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_00: Can we, like, scrape the ground?
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_00: Break it?
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_02: Great, it's over here.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so you want me to, like, damage the circle?
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_02: It's not a portal on the ground like yours was, a teleportation circle.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_02: It is a vertical portal.
• 19:05
  SPEAKER_00: It's on the wall, right?
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_00: Oh.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_00: No, it's just... Just in the air.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's just floating there.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_02: Kind of like in the corner.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_02: Does Kaida know anything?
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah,
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_00: can I also try and make any sort of check to determine if,
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_00: like,
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_00: can I try and close the portal in some way?
• 19:32
  You can make an Arcana check,
• 19:34
  and Kaida's not going to make an Arcana check.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_02: Unless you want to give Kaida advantage.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think your Arcana is better than plus 14.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_00: Nope, I would give her advantage.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_00: You're like, help!
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_00: Please!
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_02: This is literally what she's good at.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know how to dispel.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I don't know what this is coming from.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, and he'll point to the panel that he clicked in.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know, when I clicked this, it popped up.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_03: Is it something you did or is it just coincidence?
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_02: Gotta come over and look at the panel.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_02: I see.
• 20:35
  So you're,
• 20:36
  uh...
• 20:37
  You're Detect Magic wanting to pick this up because this is a
• 20:39
  mechanical trap.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_02: It dropped some kind of...
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_02: It set off some kind of alarm or alert.
• 20:54
  It didn't open the portal,
• 20:55
  said whatever that entity is opened the portal.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_01: So should we stay or should we run?
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_00: Well,
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_00: hearing that,
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_00: Joaquin's going to manifest a greatsword,
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_00: but he's also looking around to see if there's any other exits.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, there's a door in front of you.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_00: He's going to motion to the group.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_00: Over here, is the door locked or unlocked?
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, the door's, like, rotted away.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_02: You can see through, like, missing pieces of it.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_00: He'll manifest a great sword and just kind of take the door down.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_00: Let's go.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm going to quick.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_02: This one?
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_02: I need to find this.
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna quick do this.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_02: So you would knock the door down.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_02: And you would be greeted with that.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_02: And there's a little room there.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_02: And then here is a stairwell that goes down.
• 22:09
  And here is a stairwell that goes up into a hallway with
• 22:14
  another door in it.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_00: Sorry, so you said this is a stairway going to another door?
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_02: So this stairwell goes up to another door at the end of the hallway.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_02: This stairwell goes down into darkness.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_02: And then this is just like a little room off of this room.
• 22:44
  Do we want to try to collapse the ceiling on them or slow them
• 22:49
  down somehow?
• 22:49
  SPEAKER_00: I think you knew that.
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, this is a pretty narrow hallway I'm standing in.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_02: We can do something here.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_00: I don't have destruction magic like that.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_00: That's for you strong people, if you want to break things.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_02: Looking around for any,
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_02: like,
• 23:16
  SPEAKER_02: weak points or any structural damage,
• 23:22
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_02: anything that I can...
• 23:24
  possibly hit or do something to make an uh i'd say make a an
• 23:34
  investigation or
• 23:35
  perception check and i'm gonna grant you situational advantage
• 23:41
  because of how well
• 23:42
  you guys rolled on the first two checks looking around the room
• 23:49
  jesus jesus
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_02: You didn't even need the advantage, you got a natural 20.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you find quite a few loose bricks and whatnot in the wall.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_02: And you see some loose rocks up in the ceiling.
• 24:21
  SPEAKER_02: I take my hammers
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_02: and I throw them up at the loose rocks in the ceilings.
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_02: You make an attack roll, just one.
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_02: Just roll an attack with one of your hammer.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_02: 19.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_02: And you hit the ceiling.
• 24:56
  SPEAKER_02: Some of the rocks fall, crumble.
• 24:57
  You see a crack start to form,
• 24:59
  run from where those rocks fell over to the wall.
• 25:11
  SPEAKER_01: I'm pretty sure it's pretty weak over here.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_01: If we have enough force, we might be able to just collapse it.
• 25:19
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not strong enough myself.
• 25:24
  SPEAKER_01: Let's try again, though.
• 25:24
  SPEAKER_02: Hey guys,
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_02: quick reminder to leave a like,
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_02: a comment,
• 25:31
  SPEAKER_02: and don't forget to follow or subscribe to us.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_01: Thanks!
• 25:41
  SPEAKER_02: Does anyone have explosives?
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_00: What?
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_00: Why?
• 25:48
  Well,
• 25:50
  if there's something I can light on fire,
• 25:52
  we can just blow up the hallway.
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_01: Well, when Belfast made the explosives before, did we use all of them?
• 26:02
  You used all of those explosives that were made,
• 26:05
  but you did not use all of your gunpowder.
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_02: You still have some bullets and stuff.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not Mr.
• 26:24
  SPEAKER_00: Belfast,
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_00: and I don't know about playing with explosives,
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_00: but if y'all can figure something out,
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_03: I'm just going to continue to strike this wall.
• 26:38
  SPEAKER_00: Did I try to replicate what he did?
• 26:44
  SPEAKER_00: I've got 21 bullets on me.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_02: That was like two days ago.
• 26:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_02: You probably could try to replicate it.
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_02: You'd need an empty tube, though.
• 27:02
  SPEAKER_02: And or you could just see what happens if a bullet.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_00: No, that would have been yesterday because we only had one long rest.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_02: And so it's been a day.
• 27:09
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah, you could try to replicate it.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_02: You just need something to put the gunpowder in.
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_00: I have a letter.
• 27:27
  SPEAKER_00: Can I put it in the paper?
• 27:33
  SPEAKER_02: You could try that.
• 27:34
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, how do I?
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_02: Go ahead and make a history check.
• 28:01
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to inspiration that.
• 28:03
  SPEAKER_02: Every roll.
• 28:11
  SPEAKER_02: 21.
• 28:13
  You think you could probably get it done with three bullets
• 28:17
  worth of gunpowder?
• 28:18
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 28:32
  SPEAKER_02: And to give you the best possible chance,
• 28:37
  you think you should shove the envelope in one of the cracks or
• 28:42
  one of the loose
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_02: stones in the wall that Krakka pointed out.
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_00: All right, so I'll do that then.
• 28:58
  SPEAKER_02: Everyone might want to go into that other room.
• 29:23
  SPEAKER_02: She's gonna run right next to you, Krakka, back here.
• 29:29
  SPEAKER_02: She's gonna go for a firebolt against a very, very tiny target.
• 29:43
  SPEAKER_02: She hits it.
• 29:48
  SPEAKER_02: She ignites it.
• 29:51
  You guys see this just massive armored hand come through the
• 29:57
  portal and just grab
• 29:59
  SPEAKER_02: the wall next to it as you're running out.
• 30:02
  SPEAKER_02: And as this is happening, Kaida releases a firebolt.
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_02: And you see a flash.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_02: That's...
• 30:19
  The cracks that Kraka made in the ceiling and the loose stones
• 30:21
  that he found on the
• 30:22
  SPEAKER_02: walls kind of just all fold in on themselves.
• 30:27
  SPEAKER_02: It doesn't quite fully collapse the entrance,
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_02: but it's blocked,
• 30:31
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 30:33
  SPEAKER_02: a foot away from the ceiling.
• 30:42
  SPEAKER_02: It'll slow him down.
• 30:42
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know if it'll hold him.
• 30:45
  SPEAKER_02: We better figure out where we are and get out of here.
• 30:51
  uh stairwell right there above me yeah that's the stairwell and
• 30:55
  then there's a door
• 30:56
  at the end of that hallway can i see if that door is locked
• 31:00
  it's like this other
• 31:01
  door that you guys just ran through it's so not that door or

  SPEAKER_03: It'll roll, there we go.
• 32:02
  SPEAKER_02: Natural 20.
• 32:03
  SPEAKER_00: That's four natural 20s.
• 32:07
  SPEAKER_03: Ding ding!
• 32:12
  SPEAKER_02: So... I mean, it's not surprising coming from D, but... damn.
• 32:18
  SPEAKER_01: It was everybody just about.
• 32:24
  SPEAKER_02: So, yeah, you barrel through this door.
• 32:28
  SPEAKER_02: Like it's nothing.
• 32:30
  SPEAKER_02: And it just disintegrates.
• 32:39
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, I'm going to check around the corner right here.
• 32:41
  SPEAKER_02: So there's a door here, right in your face.
• 32:46
  And then just this long corridor with a bunch of little
• 32:49
  offshoots from it.
• 32:52
  SPEAKER_03: Alright, what's the door look like?
• 32:56
  SPEAKER_02: Same as the rest of them.
• 32:57
  SPEAKER_02: You can kind of see through it a little bit.
• 32:59
  SPEAKER_02: It's a little rotted.
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to run through that one too.
• 33:04
  SPEAKER_00: Wait, am I sensing anything?
• 33:06
  SPEAKER_02: No, other than the little lit crystals.
• 33:11
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, then yeah, I'm just following along D. Go ahead, big battering ram.
• 33:18
  SPEAKER_02: This room is another smaller room.
• 33:28
  And running through it,
• 33:29
  you'd also run into a partially crumbling room up here.
• 33:41
  SPEAKER_02: Looks like the walls and the earth fell in on it.
• 33:45
  SPEAKER_02: There's no escape that way.
• 33:46
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 33:50
  SPEAKER_00: Is there a door this way?
• 33:57
  SPEAKER_02: Nope, that's just a little offshoot.
• 33:59
  SPEAKER_00: I see stairs.
• 34:02
  SPEAKER_00: What about here?
• 34:04
  SPEAKER_02: So here, there's a door behind you, or on this side of you.
• 34:08
  SPEAKER_02: And then there's stairs.
• 34:12
  SPEAKER_03: Is the door like the others?
• 34:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 34:21
  SPEAKER_00: Going through it.
• 34:22
  SPEAKER_00: Just FYI, I would like to be notified the moment I detect something.
• 34:27
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 34:27
  SPEAKER_02: Gotcha.
• 34:32
  I'll notify you if you detect something that is a change from
• 34:36
  what you know already.
• 34:38
  SPEAKER_00: Gotcha.
• 34:41
  SPEAKER_00: Watch out for more traps!
• 34:43
  SPEAKER_02: This reveals another room.
• 34:47
  SPEAKER_02: And in the center of this room is a tiny altar.
• 34:52
  SPEAKER_00: Oh.
• 34:55
  SPEAKER_00: Hmm.
• 34:55
  SPEAKER_00: Hmm.
• 34:58
  SPEAKER_02: Covered in dust.
• 35:00
  SPEAKER_00: We'll wait to go into that room.
• 35:02
  SPEAKER_00: What's up the steps?
• 35:03
  SPEAKER_00: Or down the steps?
• 35:05
  SPEAKER_00: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 35:08
  SPEAKER_00: Look down there, Tigress.
• 35:11
  SPEAKER_00: Do I recognize anything on the altar there?
• 35:15
  SPEAKER_02: Are you going into the room to look at it closer?
• 35:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 35:20
  SPEAKER_00: Give me two seconds.
• 35:22
  SPEAKER_00: Watch out for booby-trap.
• 35:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yep, yep.
• 35:26
  SPEAKER_02: So you go through the door.
• 35:30
  SPEAKER_02: As you step into the room, your foot sinks again.
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, shit.
• 35:36
  SPEAKER_02: Two of the candles on the side of the altar light up.
• 35:45
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 35:56
  And then there's a chalice in the center of this altar that
• 36:00
  begins filling with a
• 36:01
  SPEAKER_02: mysterious liquid that smells putrid.
• 36:14
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, is there anything else on the table aside from the chalice?
• 36:23
  You do understand what this chalice is saying,
• 36:28
  as there's a voice speaking through it.
• 36:31
  SPEAKER_02: What is it saying?
• 36:32
  SPEAKER_02: Let me see.
• 36:35
  SPEAKER_02: Because everyone else is not too far behind you.
• 36:40
  SPEAKER_02: Does anyone else speak abyssal?
• 36:44
  SPEAKER_02: Oh.
• 36:47
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think so.
• 36:48
  SPEAKER_02: I think Joaquim's the only one that speaks abyssal.
• 36:51
  SPEAKER_03: Yep.
• 36:57
  SPEAKER_02: Or doesn't speak Abyssal.
• 36:58
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think Lala speaks Abyssal.
• 37:00
  SPEAKER_02: Krakka, I don't think you speak Abyssal.
• 37:03
  SPEAKER_02: Nope.
• 37:06
  Yeah,
• 37:06
  so the rest of you just hear this very deep,
• 37:12
  gruff,
• 37:12
  gargling,
• 37:14
  gross-sounding speech.
• 37:17
  SPEAKER_02: But Wakim...
• 37:22
  SPEAKER_02: You hear... One key to open the lock.
• 37:44
  SPEAKER_02: Give me the key and I will grant you a wish.
• 37:53
  SPEAKER_00: This voice is coming from the liquid in the chalice?
• 37:57
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 38:00
  SPEAKER_00: I would respond in abyssal.
• 38:03
  SPEAKER_00: What are you?
• 38:07
  SPEAKER_02: Just a... ...inconsequential being that was misjudged and trapped.
• 38:26
  SPEAKER_00: Again, responding in abyssal.
• 38:28
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to need more than that.
• 38:31
  SPEAKER_02: If you intend to remain more than a liquid.
• 38:35
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not this liquid.
• 38:36
  SPEAKER_02: This is just the means in which I communicate from my humble abode.
• 38:46
  SPEAKER_02: What is your name?
• 38:49
  SPEAKER_02: But I haven't gotten yours first.
• 38:52
  SPEAKER_02: Rude.
• 38:54
  SPEAKER_02: I asked you.
• 38:58
  SPEAKER_02: You stepped on my button.
• 39:03
  SPEAKER_00: We're just trying to get out of here.
• 39:06
  I could just as easily leave and end the conversation if you
• 39:09
  refused to...
• 39:10
  Could you?
• 39:11
  SPEAKER_02: Have you tried leaving?
• 39:19
  SPEAKER_00: I have some pretty capable party members here.
• 39:23
  SPEAKER_00: We can find a way.
• 39:25
  SPEAKER_00: If you need our help, you'll answer my questions.
• 39:32
  SPEAKER_02: Go ahead and make a persuasion or deception check.
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_02: Because that sounded like one of those two.
• 39:43
  SPEAKER_00: That's fair.
• 39:44
  SPEAKER_00: I am going to use a luck to roll this at advantage.
• 39:48
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 39:49
  SPEAKER_00: And that's a natural 20.
• 40:01
  SPEAKER_00: So that's a 31.
• 40:12
  SPEAKER_02: It seems that we're at an impasse.
• 40:20
  SPEAKER_02: You can't leave this room.
• 40:22
  SPEAKER_02: I can't leave this chalice.
• 40:30
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe.
• 40:31
  SPEAKER_02: I'll bring you into the chalice with me.
• 40:41
  SPEAKER_02: Sorry.
• 40:42
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I don't want to do that at all.
• 40:46
  And I think you'd find it very difficult because you don't know
• 40:49
  who you're messing with.
• 40:51
  SPEAKER_02: Who I represent.
• 40:54
  SPEAKER_02: I do.
• 40:55
  SPEAKER_03: I do, actually.
• 41:01
  SPEAKER_00: then I ask you again, who the hell are you?
• 41:08
  SPEAKER_02: I am... One.
• 41:14
  SPEAKER_02: I was banished.
• 41:20
  SPEAKER_02: Many times.
• 41:22
  SPEAKER_02: Many planes.
• 41:27
  SPEAKER_02: By many people.
• 41:29
  SPEAKER_02: Long ago.
• 41:33
  SPEAKER_02: And I wish to be freed again.
• 41:41
  SPEAKER_02: I can still see, uh... Deedle, right?
• 41:45
  SPEAKER_02: You can, but there's this... Warbly... Thing between you.
• 41:54
  SPEAKER_00: Can I... Can she hear me?
• 42:00
  SPEAKER_02: Are you gonna try to talk to her?
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 42:07
  SPEAKER_02: Uh,
• 42:07
  SPEAKER_02: Deedle,
• 42:08
  SPEAKER_02: as you're looking up this stairwell,
• 42:10
  SPEAKER_02: because you're,
• 42:13
  SPEAKER_02: like,
• 42:14
  SPEAKER_02: you're just,
• 42:15
  SPEAKER_02: you're here,
• 42:15
  SPEAKER_02: so you're standing,
• 42:16
  SPEAKER_02: you're looking,
• 42:17
  SPEAKER_02: you see,
• 42:17
  SPEAKER_02: like,
• 42:17
  SPEAKER_02: a little room at the top of the stairwell.
• 42:19
  SPEAKER_02: Seems to be a dead end.
• 42:20
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, you hear just this warbling behind you, like, fishbowl, like, noise.
• 42:33
  the hell are you talking about in there he kind of gets this
• 42:37
  frustrated look on his
• 42:38
  face uh and then he is going to uh we're gonna use minor
• 42:46
  illusion i'm sorry we're
• 42:47
  going to use what we're gonna do yeah no we're gonna use minor
• 42:53
  illusion and we are
• 42:55
  gonna do some uh essentially some some skywriting okay and
• 42:59
  we're going to write out
• 43:01
  SPEAKER_00: uh
• 43:03
  SPEAKER_00: Keep searching.
• 43:05
  SPEAKER_00: Watch for traps.
• 43:08
  SPEAKER_00: Look for a key.
• 43:27
  SPEAKER_02: The rest of you are kind of standing in this hallway.
• 43:36
  SPEAKER_02: And you just hear Joaquim's warbling voice.
• 43:41
  SPEAKER_02: Like he's talking through a fishbowl.
• 43:43
  SPEAKER_02: And you see Deedle very confused.
• 43:45
  SPEAKER_02: And then she's just repeating back the words that he's illusioning.
• 44:11
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, I'm going to search back here in the rooms that we just passed.
• 44:15
  SPEAKER_02: Because she just read the message off, right?
• 44:24
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 44:30
  SPEAKER_00: Did anybody look up here?
• 44:35
  SPEAKER_02: Not for anything specific.
• 44:39
  SPEAKER_00: I can go search up there if Krakka's gonna go search over here.
• 44:42
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 44:44
  SPEAKER_02: Both you and Krakka make a investigation check.
• 44:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 44:54
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I don't know why the dice are coming through like that. 19.
• 45:07
  SPEAKER_02: 18.
• 45:09
  Krakka,
• 45:10
  you're searching and you're searching and you don't,
• 45:12
  uh,
• 45:13
  you don't see anything.
• 45:16
  SPEAKER_02: Really.
• 45:16
  SPEAKER_02: Hey guys,
• 45:20
  SPEAKER_02: quick reminder to leave a like,
• 45:22
  SPEAKER_02: a comment,
• 45:23
  SPEAKER_02: and don't forget to follow or subscribe to us.
• 45:26
  SPEAKER_01: Thanks!
• 45:30
  SPEAKER_02: That was this boom down here?
• 45:33
  SPEAKER_02: Well, yeah, down there and then, like, back in here.
• 45:38
  and then,
• 45:38
  like,
• 45:39
  going through here,
• 45:40
  you don't really find anything that would be a key.
• 45:44
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, Y'nor, you see this weird symbol on the ground here.
• 45:54
  It matches the symbols in that first room that were next to
• 45:58
  that bloodied altar.
• 46:03
  SPEAKER_02: And then in the room ahead of you, you see...
• 46:06
  SPEAKER_02: three pillars placed in like a perfect triangle.
• 46:13
  SPEAKER_00: Is there anything on the pillars or around the pillars at all?
• 46:18
  SPEAKER_02: Thing around them, but on them is this symbol that's on the floor.
• 46:26
  SPEAKER_00: And do I recognize the symbol at all?
• 46:30
  SPEAKER_02: It looks kind of like the symbol that was scratched over
• 46:36
  SPEAKER_02: the Lightbringer family crest when you were looking at the altar.
• 46:45
  SPEAKER_02: So it looks like somebody scratched this over their crest.
• 46:49
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 46:53
  SPEAKER_00: What did I last hear about the Lightbringer family?
• 46:57
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, they're just the head of the council, the twins.
• 47:00
  i didn't have any other information they have like mysteriously
• 47:05
  gone missing nope
• 47:07
  okay they're two of the most powerful individuals on this
• 47:14
  continent and they
• 47:19
  they're twins they travel together so trying to fight one of
• 47:25
  them alone would be
• 47:26
  SPEAKER_02: difficult fighting both yeah
• 47:34
  SPEAKER_00: And so the symbol's just, like, carved into the top of the posts?
• 47:42
  SPEAKER_02: It's like it's part of the posts.
• 47:45
  SPEAKER_00: How does that work?
• 47:51
  SPEAKER_00: Like, it's raised?
• 47:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 47:54
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 47:55
  Like,
• 47:55
  it's just...
• 47:57
  So someone,
• 47:57
  like,
• 47:58
  carved the post and left this raised...
• 48:03
  Okay.
• 48:04
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 48:12
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna go tell the others about it.
• 48:32
  SPEAKER_02: What if it's not a key we're looking for?
• 48:34
  SPEAKER_02: In regards to what?
• 48:42
  SPEAKER_02: What if it's a riddle?
• 48:46
  SPEAKER_02: I really hate those.
• 48:57
  SPEAKER_02: Hey, Wakeem!
• 49:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 49:11
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know if you can hear me.
• 49:12
  SPEAKER_02: I can't hear you.
• 49:15
  SPEAKER_02: Try lighting the liquid on fire.
• 49:20
  SPEAKER_00: Can I hear her?
• 49:22
  SPEAKER_02: You can hear her.
• 49:23
  SPEAKER_02: They just can't hear you.
• 49:25
  SPEAKER_00: He's going to look at her a little bit confused in that minor illusion.
• 49:29
  SPEAKER_02: Why?
• 49:32
  SPEAKER_02: The key's not a key.
• 49:40
  SPEAKER_00: He'll then again, minor illusion skywriting.
• 49:44
  SPEAKER_00: Will that free it?
• 49:46
  SPEAKER_02: It'll either free it or free you or both.
• 49:56
  SPEAKER_00: More skywriting.
• 49:58
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if freeing it is a good idea.
• 50:19
  SPEAKER_02: Lala walks up and pulls out Nosferatu.
• 50:26
  SPEAKER_02: Huh, I wonder if this will work.
• 50:28
  SPEAKER_02: She kind of just taps Nosferatu on the barrier.
• 50:36
  it shatters oh oh yeah in your head you hear ah yes finally a
• 50:49
  deity to eat i'm
• 50:53
  gonna look oh she look she walks over to the liquid she walks
• 50:57
  over the liquid okay
• 50:59
  go ahead yeah before she does anything i would look back to the
• 51:02
  liquid and then in
• 51:03
  SPEAKER_00: abyssal i would say
• 51:05
  SPEAKER_00: You should have told me your name.
• 51:10
  SPEAKER_02: She sticks Nosferatu in the liquid and he just absorbs it.
• 51:24
  SPEAKER_02: Deity adjacent is better than nothing, I guess.
• 51:37
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you didn't want to leave that guy.
• 51:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm going to look at Lala.
• 51:45
  SPEAKER_00: Does Nosferatu tell you what he eats?
• 51:49
  SPEAKER_02: Sometimes.
• 51:52
  SPEAKER_00: Didn't tell you this time?
• 51:56
  SPEAKER_02: No, he just said to stick him in there.
• 52:03
  SPEAKER_00: Above table, did Nosferatu get any bigger feeding on this thing?
• 52:07
  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 52:08
  SPEAKER_00: No?
• 52:08
  SPEAKER_00: OK.
• 52:10
  SPEAKER_02: Not even glowing.
• 52:11
  SPEAKER_02: Remember, he said deity adjacent.
• 52:14
  SPEAKER_00: Interesting.
• 52:18
  SPEAKER_00: OK.
• 52:24
  SPEAKER_00: Joachim is sufficiently weirded out.
• 52:26
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, I guess we can see and hear each other properly.
• 52:31
  SPEAKER_00: Is there anything else of note in this room?
• 52:35
  Actually,
• 52:36
  after the liquid's gone,
• 52:36
  the altar crumbles and the chalice disintegrates into dust.
• 52:40
  SPEAKER_00: Interesting.
• 52:43
  SPEAKER_00: I'll look back to Needle.
• 52:48
  SPEAKER_00: Battering Ram home.
• 52:50
  SPEAKER_00: Just be careful.
• 52:52
  SPEAKER_02: So there's a corner here of this hallway.
• 52:54
  SPEAKER_02: It goes this way.
• 53:01
  SPEAKER_03: Hello?
• 53:09
  So looking down there,
• 53:12
  you've got this batch of hallway that's got a little room off
• 53:20
  of it.
• 53:20
  And then there's a little like half stairway that goes up to
• 53:25
  this batch of hallway
• 53:29
  SPEAKER_02: with two identical rooms off of it.
• 53:36
  Although one of them kind of has collapsed earth in it as the
• 53:40
  wall kind of crumbled.
• 53:43
  SPEAKER_02: And then there's a stairwell going up at the end of this hallway.
• 53:48
  SPEAKER_00: What's out this way?
• 53:51
  SPEAKER_02: It's just like the other alcoves back here.
• 53:54
  SPEAKER_02: They just seem empty.
• 53:56
  SPEAKER_02: Same with this one.
• 53:57
  SPEAKER_03: Alright.
• 54:00
  SPEAKER_03: What's in this room here?
• 54:05
  SPEAKER_02: Seems empty.
• 54:05
  SPEAKER_02: It's got another one of those symbols on the floor.
• 54:10
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 54:13
  SPEAKER_03: Carefully walk through here.
• 54:19
  SPEAKER_03: What is that?
• 54:24
  SPEAKER_02: So there's three, uh, sunken in boxes.
• 54:29
  SPEAKER_02: Stone boxes.
• 54:31
  SPEAKER_00: Hmm, sarcophagus.
• 54:35
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 54:36
  SPEAKER_02: And with this side.
• 54:44
  As you get to the stairs,
• 54:46
  you hear a lot of cheering and commotion above you.
• 55:00
  SPEAKER_02: And then, uh,
• 55:02
  SPEAKER_02: Yenor kind of a sudden gets a look of recognition on her face.
• 55:09
  SPEAKER_02: Where we ended up.
• 55:13
  SPEAKER_00: Well, do share with the class.
• 55:15
  SPEAKER_02: Remember when we were part of that weird tournament after your accident?
• 55:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 55:22
  SPEAKER_02: Well, we explored, or I guess I explored.
• 55:24
  SPEAKER_02: You were recuperating from your injuries.
• 55:28
  SPEAKER_00: You just don't tell me anything, do you?
• 55:31
  SPEAKER_02: I did tell you, but you were delirious from the pain.
• 55:36
  SPEAKER_00: That's what the pain is not telling me.
• 55:39
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I found an abandoned area underneath the arena.
• 55:45
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't go down too far in it.
• 55:48
  SPEAKER_02: I was by myself.
• 55:53
  SPEAKER_02: I think that's where we ended up.
• 55:56
  SPEAKER_02: I think we're underneath that arena.
• 55:59
  SPEAKER_00: Fantastic.
• 55:59
  SPEAKER_00: Go tell everyone.
• 56:02
  SPEAKER_02: So Kyda comes running up to you, Wakim, and Deedle, and Krakka.
• 56:07
  SPEAKER_02: You could hear her, too, because you're towards the back of the group.
• 56:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so I think I figured out where we are, guys.
• 56:19
  SPEAKER_02: Oh?
• 56:20
  SPEAKER_02: Where we at?
• 56:22
  Yanora and I were part of a big celebration,
• 56:25
  celebratory arena match,
• 56:28
  I guess.
• 56:28
  SPEAKER_02: A bunch of years ago.
• 56:33
  SPEAKER_02: And we got whooped.
• 56:37
  SPEAKER_02: Inor especially, she took a lot of injuries that day.
• 56:41
  SPEAKER_02: So she was resting.
• 56:42
  SPEAKER_02: And I went off to kind of investigate this arena.
• 56:48
  I found an abandoned area that was connected to a stairwell
• 56:55
  that I kind of peeked
• 56:56
  SPEAKER_02: in around a little bit.
• 56:58
  SPEAKER_02: I think I...
• 57:01
  SPEAKER_02: My location of where we teleported brought us to that abandoned area.
• 57:08
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, so that means we're pretty safe down here.
• 57:12
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 57:13
  SPEAKER_02: There's random portals and stuff down here.
• 57:15
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't really look.
• 57:16
  SPEAKER_02: I just kind of found it and then I was like,
• 57:19
  SPEAKER_02: oh,
• 57:19
  SPEAKER_02: I guess I should come back down here with you,
• 57:21
  SPEAKER_02: Norn.
• 57:21
  SPEAKER_02: Then a bunch of other stuff happened and that didn't happen.
• 57:28
  SPEAKER_00: Sorry, where is that...
• 57:30
  that underground fight arena again where is it located it was
• 57:35
  outside of kelvis
• 57:36
  just outside the city okay the arena itself is just outside the
• 57:41
  city so we're just
• 57:43
  outside of kelvis okay does that mean we should be going up
• 57:47
  then to get out of here
• 57:49
  underground up would probably lead us into the arena or near
• 57:52
  the arena is there
• 57:55
  SPEAKER_02: another way out
• 58:00
  SPEAKER_02: That you know, or did you find one?
• 58:02
  SPEAKER_02: I did not find another way out.
• 58:08
  SPEAKER_00: I guess it's to us to find it then,
• 58:10
  SPEAKER_00: because I'm not finding myself in the middle of a fighting arena.
• 58:14
  SPEAKER_00: Forget that noise.
• 58:17
  SPEAKER_02: Well,
• 58:17
  SPEAKER_02: if this is the same one that you guys fought at,
• 58:19
  SPEAKER_02: you'd at least know where to go to get out of here,
• 58:22
  SPEAKER_02: so we wouldn't be lost,
• 58:24
  SPEAKER_02: exactly.
• 58:24
  SPEAKER_02: You just don't know down here.
• 58:35
  that's fair i do not know down here i would know how to get out
• 58:39
  in of the arena
• 58:41
  itself without us fighting it depends on who's up there that
• 58:50
  sounds like a gamble
• 58:52
  SPEAKER_02: what do you guys want to do
• 59:01
  SPEAKER_02: I mean,
• 59:01
  I don't know how much time we have before those beasts come
• 59:06
  through that little
• 59:07
  SPEAKER_02: barricade we put back there.
• 59:08
  I mean,
• 59:08
  I would like to explore down here,
• 59:09
  but I don't really know if I want to fight that guy.
• 59:16
  SPEAKER_00: I just want to get out of here so we can get to Keldus.
• 59:18
  So if going up into the arena is the quickest way and then can
• 59:26
  lead us out,
• 59:29
  maybe we do that.
• 59:36
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, that's probably the fastest way.
• 59:39
  SPEAKER_02: Otherwise, we're stuck down here.
• 59:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, trying to find more not-gods.
• 59:52
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'll lead the way.
• 59:53
  SPEAKER_02: I'm just going to watch our tale.
• 59:55
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 59:57
  SPEAKER_00: I would then follow Kyda and look to Needle and be like,
• 1:00:06
  SPEAKER_00: Beatles, she's going to show us a way up and out.
• 1:00:17
  As you get to as you keep climbing the stairs,
• 1:00:22
  the cheering does end up getting louder.
• 1:00:37
  SPEAKER_02: It sounds like there's something going on.
• 1:00:44
  SPEAKER_02: And you pop out up here.
• 1:00:51
  SPEAKER_02: And just as you're coming out to the entrance,
• 1:00:52
  SPEAKER_02: because you're coming out like out of from underneath here,
• 1:00:56
  because there's an under part of the arena since this arena is
• 1:01:00
  sunken down a little
• 1:01:01
  SPEAKER_02: bit.
• 1:01:01
  SPEAKER_02: I don't see that.
• 1:01:09
  SPEAKER_02: One second, it's coming through.
• 1:01:14
  SPEAKER_02: Gotcha.
• 1:01:15
  SPEAKER_02: So this arena is kind of sunken down a little bit,
• 1:01:17
  SPEAKER_02: so you're coming out from like the underside of this.
• 1:01:20
  SPEAKER_02: And then this part's all like raised up.
• 1:01:24
  SPEAKER_02: There's this.
• 1:01:33
  SPEAKER_02: One second, let me adjust him.
• 1:01:42
  SPEAKER_02: There's this orcish fellow standing in this arena,
• 1:01:49
  SPEAKER_02: kind of with a great sort of cheering,
• 1:01:51
  SPEAKER_02: egging the crowd on.
• 1:01:53
  SPEAKER_02: He's got on armored shoulder pauldrons with straps across his bare chest,
• 1:02:03
  SPEAKER_02: a loincloth,
• 1:02:05
  SPEAKER_02: and boots.
• 1:02:13
  SPEAKER_02: Don't know if that description rings any bells for any of you.
• 1:02:22
  SPEAKER_00: One more time.
• 1:02:25
  SPEAKER_02: Orcish fellow.
• 1:02:28
  SPEAKER_02: Shoulder pauldrons.
• 1:02:30
  SPEAKER_02: Still that look more for show than armor.
• 1:02:33
  SPEAKER_02: A loincloth.
• 1:02:35
  SPEAKER_02: And boots.
• 1:02:36
  SPEAKER_00: Oh god.
• 1:02:39
  SPEAKER_00: I remember this fool.
• 1:02:41
  SPEAKER_00: At least he's wearing a loins, though.
• 1:02:45
  SPEAKER_02: And his back's to you right now.
• 1:02:47
  SPEAKER_02: He's kind of got his sword up in the air, kind of just pumping.
• 1:02:50
  SPEAKER_02: It looks like he just won a match or something.
• 1:02:53
  SPEAKER_02: There's a crowd about.
• 1:02:58
  SPEAKER_02: As you guys kind of scan the crowd directly across from you, you see...
• 1:03:09
  a humanoid that you don't see a lot a humanoid type that you
• 1:03:12
  don't see a lot this
• 1:03:14
  emerald dragonborn sitting in the stand next to this very uh
• 1:03:22
  heavily armored
• 1:03:25
  SPEAKER_02: soldier type looking dude both a little older
• 1:03:42
  SPEAKER_02: And the crowd kind of turns as you guys start emerging.
• 1:03:54
  SPEAKER_02: And then...
• 1:04:01
  You see the dragonborn kind of lean over and whisper something
• 1:04:05
  into the human's ear
• 1:04:07
  SPEAKER_02: and then he's...
• 1:04:11
  SPEAKER_02: Hey, you there.

• 1:04:44
  He kind of stands up and goes,
• 1:04:48
  Well,
• 1:04:49
  looks like we got some interesting guests in our arena.
• 1:04:59
  SPEAKER_02: Commander, would you like to greet our guests?
• 1:05:04
  SPEAKER_02: Or would you like to arrest them?
• 1:05:11
  SPEAKER_02: Looks up.
• 1:05:12
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, what was that, sir?
• 1:05:13
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, we have guests?
• 1:05:14
  SPEAKER_02: He turns around.
• 1:05:15
  SPEAKER_02: Ah!
• 1:05:18
  SPEAKER_02: Are you here to fight?
• 1:05:27
  SPEAKER_02: Shall I call my guards to arrest you for questioning?
• 1:05:34
  SPEAKER_00: We're not looking to fight.
• 1:05:36
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 1:05:36
  SPEAKER_00: We're just trying to get to Keldus.
• 1:05:39
  What purpose would you have coming up from the arena's
• 1:05:42
  underbelly to get to kill
• 1:05:44
  SPEAKER_02: this and not fight?
• 1:05:47
  SPEAKER_00: We accidentally portaled in using the wrong coordinates.
• 1:05:52
  SPEAKER_00: Again, this is just a mistake.
• 1:05:54
  SPEAKER_00: We'll go.
• 1:05:57
  SPEAKER_02: You'll go?
• 1:05:58
  SPEAKER_02: You can't go.
• 1:05:59
  SPEAKER_00: I think we can and we should.
• 1:06:03
  I think it'd be in your best interest if we just kind of left
• 1:06:06
  out of here and get
• 1:06:07
  SPEAKER_00: you...
• 1:06:07
  SPEAKER_00: That way you can get your own...
• 1:06:12
  SPEAKER_00: entertainment going as you want.
• 1:06:14
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, but this is entertainment.
• 1:06:17
  SPEAKER_02: There's what?
• 1:06:18
  SPEAKER_02: Not for us.
• 1:06:20
  SPEAKER_02: There's eight of you?
• 1:06:21
  SPEAKER_02: There's one of me?
• 1:06:23
  SPEAKER_02: This would be great entertainment.
• 1:06:26
  SPEAKER_00: I think this is just an opportunity for us to kind of
• 1:06:31
  SPEAKER_00: get on the right foot.
• 1:06:32
  SPEAKER_00: My name is Joaquin Sioux of Sioux Sailing.
• 1:06:35
  SPEAKER_00: If you ever need a vessel, just reach out to us.
• 1:06:38
  SPEAKER_00: But again, we actually have pressing business and we need to go.
• 1:06:42
  SPEAKER_00: And I guess I would try and persuade him if possible.
• 1:06:47
  SPEAKER_02: You could go ahead and try and persuade him if you would like.
• 1:07:05
  SPEAKER_00: Eh, poop.
• 1:07:05
  SPEAKER_00: 16.
• 1:07:07
  SPEAKER_00: Getting drowned out by the crowd.
• 1:07:20
  SPEAKER_02: Like your guts.
• 1:07:22
  SPEAKER_02: Like your guts.
• 1:07:26
  Now,
• 1:07:28
  we can either arrest you for trespassing and espionage,
• 1:07:31
  or we can have a good old-fashioned
• 1:07:36
  SPEAKER_02: Eight on one duel.
• 1:07:43
  SPEAKER_00: Why are you so eager to fight?
• 1:07:45
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, sorry.
• 1:07:46
  SPEAKER_00: Go ahead, Ymir.
• 1:07:48
  SPEAKER_00: How far is this arena from Keldus?
• 1:07:51
  SPEAKER_02: Is it above table?
• 1:07:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, above table.
• 1:07:56
  SPEAKER_02: This arena is like, so this is on the outskirts of the city.
• 1:08:02
  SPEAKER_00: So this is Keldus?
• 1:08:03
  SPEAKER_02: Essentially.
• 1:08:04
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:08:09
  SPEAKER_02: You've been given two options.
• 1:08:12
  SPEAKER_02: Option one, fight this nearly naked man in an arena.
• 1:08:17
  SPEAKER_02: Option two, get arrested by this nearly naked man and his soldiers.
• 1:08:27
  SPEAKER_02: Joaquim already tried persuading.
• 1:08:30
  SPEAKER_00: You said it was an emerald dragonborn?
• 1:08:33

  So each of you,
• 1:15:04
  this is going to be a little different,
• 1:15:07

• 1:17:08
  SPEAKER_02: It did go through finally for Deedle.
• 1:17:13
  SPEAKER_02: So you collectively decide who wants to do what.
• 1:17:23
  SPEAKER_02: You guys rolled higher than he did.
• 1:17:32
  SPEAKER_02: He is facing you 1v8.
• 1:17:36
  SPEAKER_02: You have the advantage of going first.
• 1:17:44
  SPEAKER_02: I guess, amongst you all decide.
• 1:17:52
  SPEAKER_00: As far as what, we do a single person attacks, or?
• 1:17:57
  SPEAKER_00: No,
• 1:17:58
  SPEAKER_02: all of you,
• 1:17:59
  SPEAKER_02: I just had your simplicity,
• 1:18:01
  had you each roll initiative to see if your group went before
• 1:18:08
  or after him,
• 1:18:09
  SPEAKER_02: since he's facing you,
• 1:18:10
  SPEAKER_02: 1v all of you.
• 1:18:11
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 1:18:13
  SPEAKER_02: So you can go.

  he thinks he could take all of us so do should we all attack
• 1:18:18
  him at the same time
• 1:18:19
  yeah i mean you can all do that call out what you're using as
• 1:18:25
  an attack should we

  SPEAKER_02: like...
• 1:24:53
  I'm gonna charge him with like a shoulder check and then when I

• 1:25:03
  gonna like uppercut
• 1:25:04
  him at the same time my foot's gonna come out I'm gonna give
• 1:25:08
  him a low blow and I'm
• 1:25:10
  gonna fall on my back and when I'm on my back I'm gonna spin
• 1:25:14
  and give him a leg
• 1:25:15
  SPEAKER_02: sweep so you are doing two attacks and inferior blows

  SPEAKER_02: All right, so go ahead and make your two attacks.
• 1:25:31
  SPEAKER_02: You're charging up at him.

  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna use an inspiration.
• 1:25:46
  SPEAKER_02: Well, that was much better.
• 1:25:47
  SPEAKER_02: So that's one.
• 1:25:50
  SPEAKER_02: That one misses.
• 1:25:57
  SPEAKER_02: Second attack?

  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 1:26:13
  SPEAKER_02: Second attack misses at 20.
• 1:26:15
  SPEAKER_02: Third attack hits at 26.
• 1:26:16
  SPEAKER_02: You can go ahead and roll your damage on that third attack.

  SPEAKER_02: Which was the low blow.
• 1:26:28
  SPEAKER_02: Ha ha!
• 1:26:29

  SPEAKER_02: You need an inspiration now or two.
• 1:26:44
  SPEAKER_02: Go ahead.

  SPEAKER_02: Go ahead and roll your damage.
• 1:27:14
  SPEAKER_01: Six.
• 1:27:28
  SPEAKER_02: As you're running up, Krakka, Lala's going to unleash Nosferatu.
• 1:27:42
  SPEAKER_02: You get sneak attack on one of those.
• 1:27:48
  SPEAKER_03: It would've been the first one if I hit, though.
• 1:27:52
  SPEAKER_02: No, it's on the first attack you hit.
• 1:27:53
  SPEAKER_02: It's not on your first attack.

  SPEAKER_02: All right, well then...
• 1:28:11
  SPEAKER_02: eight points of sneak attack damage from you.

  And then Lala hits him with one of her attacks from Nosferatu,
• 1:28:19
  as she throws Nosferatu.
• 1:28:21
  SPEAKER_02: So that is nine points of damage plus her sneak attack.
• 1:28:29
  SPEAKER_02: Eight, nine is 17.
• 1:28:33
  SPEAKER_02: It's her sneak attack, which is bigger, 16 points.
• 1:28:40
  SPEAKER_02: Because there's 17.
• 1:28:52
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 1:28:56
  SPEAKER_02: He runs to the side here.
• 1:29:08
  SPEAKER_02: Leaves Deedle or Yenor.
• 1:29:18
  SPEAKER_02: Can I cast Thunderous Smite?
• 1:29:21
  SPEAKER_00: You can go ahead.
• 1:29:21
  SPEAKER_00: No, go ahead.
• 1:29:27

  SPEAKER_02: Is that it?
• 1:29:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm going to run up and smack him.
• 1:29:52
  SPEAKER_02: So he has to, when you hit him, go ahead and roll an attack.
• 1:30:03
  SPEAKER_00: Does that 24 hit?
• 1:30:04
  SPEAKER_02: It does.
• 1:30:05
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.

• 1:30:29
  SPEAKER_00: 19 points of damage.
• 1:30:40
  SPEAKER_02: He is not pushed back.
• 1:30:46
  SPEAKER_00: I'll hit him again.
• 1:30:47
  SPEAKER_02: Take another strike.
• 1:30:55
  SPEAKER_02: Does a 21 hit?

• 1:33:29
  SPEAKER_02: The middle part kind of just flaps.

  SPEAKER_00: Because the unicorn told us to.
• 1:35:43
  SPEAKER_02: Now,
• 1:35:45
  why would individuals that match the description of some wanted
• 1:35:52
  fliers that have
• 1:35:53
  SPEAKER_02: been going around the guilds,
• 1:35:58
  SPEAKER_02: want an audience with one of the high counselors of the land?
• 1:36:15
  I'm sure you haven't been shown classified information,
• 1:36:18
  so...
• 1:36:27
  Are you sure about that?
• 1:36:28
  SPEAKER_02: Can't be sure about anything.
• 1:36:31
  SPEAKER_02: Can't be sure about you.
• 1:36:34
  SPEAKER_02: Which one of us has the sending stone for Lady Wren?
• 1:36:38
  SPEAKER_02: None of you have figured that out yet.
• 1:36:39
  SPEAKER_02: I assumed it was you or Joaquim.
• 1:36:48
  SPEAKER_00: I always thought Y'nor had it, so that's what I was operating on.
• 1:36:53
  SPEAKER_02: So.
• 1:36:55
  SPEAKER_02: You have it.
• 1:37:02
  SPEAKER_00: Listen.
• 1:37:03
  SPEAKER_02: Listen.
• 1:37:04
  It's of the utmost importance that we have a meeting with
• 1:37:09
  General Malachi.
• 1:37:11
  SPEAKER_02: And quickly.
• 1:37:14
  We have information about attacks that are going to be
• 1:37:16
  happening very soon.
• 1:37:19
  SPEAKER_02: In fact, they've taken a well-known weapons dealer.
• 1:37:24
  SPEAKER_02: See,
• 1:37:25
  I have reports that say the last people that that well-known
• 1:37:28
  weapons dealer was
• 1:37:28
  SPEAKER_02: were the same people that organized a coup against some pirate queen.
• 1:37:36
  SPEAKER_02: And were present during the downing of an airship.
• 1:37:46
  SPEAKER_02: The attack on a small fishing harbor.
• 1:37:53
  SPEAKER_02: And the coup of a city.
• 1:37:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:38:00
  SPEAKER_00: It's almost like people want them dead.
• 1:38:02
  SPEAKER_02: Hmm.
• 1:38:06
  SPEAKER_02: It certainly looks like it, don't it?
• 1:38:08
  SPEAKER_02: It looks like... very conveniently placed... ...incidence.
• 1:38:19
  Who's to say the coup against the Pirate Queen wasn't
• 1:38:21
  successful and this is a big ruse?
• 1:38:25
  SPEAKER_02: Pirates have never been happy with the established governments.
• 1:38:32
  SPEAKER_00: I am the goodiest of goody-two-shoes.
• 1:38:35
  SPEAKER_00: You think I'd work with the fucking Pirate Queen?
• 1:38:39
  I think you'd take them down and then insert yourself into a
• 1:38:44
  position of power.
• 1:38:46
  SPEAKER_02: One that doesn't have any...
• 1:38:48
  SPEAKER_02: diplomatic red tape to deal with your problems.
• 1:38:53
  SPEAKER_00: I love the red tape!
• 1:38:58
  SPEAKER_00: I was raised in it!
• 1:39:00
  SPEAKER_00: I was forged in red tape!
• 1:39:13
  SPEAKER_00: What's my stepdad's name again?
• 1:39:17
  SPEAKER_00: He's a big shot.
• 1:39:19
  SPEAKER_02: Only for the Onyx Accord.
• 1:39:36
  SPEAKER_02: Devdan Greybreeze.
• 1:39:39
  SPEAKER_00: Devdan?
• 1:39:39
  SPEAKER_02: Devdan.
• 1:39:41
  SPEAKER_00: Devdan.
• 1:39:46
  SPEAKER_00: Do you know who my stepfather is?
• 1:39:51
  SPEAKER_00: Look at my wife's a librarian, dude.
• 1:39:56
  SPEAKER_00: Pirates.
• 1:39:59
  SPEAKER_00: Utter nonsense.
• 1:40:03
  SPEAKER_02: They're terrorism.
• 1:40:07
  SPEAKER_00: I love my job.
• 1:40:10
  SPEAKER_00: I want to go back to doing my job.
• 1:40:13
  SPEAKER_00: All of this is preventing me from doing my job.
• 1:40:19
  SPEAKER_00: I hunt down drug dealers.
• 1:40:21
  SPEAKER_00: This is not what I'm supposed to be doing.
• 1:40:26
  Convenient that these accidents happened while you're hunting
• 1:40:33
  down drug dealers.
• 1:40:34
  SPEAKER_02: Could be just wiping out the competition.
• 1:40:42
  SPEAKER_01: Some of them were powered off of the said drugs we are hunting.
• 1:40:46
  SPEAKER_00: Point.
• 1:40:50
  SPEAKER_00: But also, Belfast is missing.
• 1:40:54
  SPEAKER_00: And we know who took him.
• 1:40:57
  SPEAKER_00: And they're about to attack Lady Red.
• 1:41:01
  SPEAKER_00: So can we hurry this up?
• 1:41:06
  There's some heavy footballs coming from where you guys had
• 1:41:14
  just come up from.
• 1:41:17
  SPEAKER_00: But there's fucking robots coming.
• 1:41:21
  SPEAKER_00: We could have been out of here already.
• 1:41:23
  SPEAKER_02: Poppy kind of freaks out and Puppyfish kind of runs behind.
• 1:41:28
  SPEAKER_02: And then this big, big lunk of a dude thing.
• 1:41:38
  SPEAKER_00: Is that a beholder token?
• 1:41:40
  SPEAKER_02: No, it's just the aberration image.
• 1:41:45
  SPEAKER_02: Comes out from where you guys had come out.
• 1:41:48
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, great.
• 1:41:49
  SPEAKER_02: You brought reinforcements.
• 1:41:51
  SPEAKER_02: Is this your friend?
• 1:41:53
  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 1:41:54
  SPEAKER_02: No, he is not with us.
• 1:41:56
  SPEAKER_00: We blew up the tunnel on him!
• 1:41:59
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, so you're committing acts of vandalism.
• 1:42:03
  SPEAKER_00: I will accept property damage.
• 1:42:05
  SPEAKER_00: I will not take slander.
• 1:42:08
  SPEAKER_00: Working with pirates and drug lords.
• 1:42:11
  SPEAKER_00: Jesus.
• 1:42:14
  SPEAKER_02: Commander!
• 1:42:18
  SPEAKER_02: This situation is a little out of hand.
• 1:42:20
  SPEAKER_02: I think we need to deal with the rats in the basement first.
• 1:42:33
  SPEAKER_02: Fine, fine.
• 1:42:36
  SPEAKER_02: And you see about... A bunch of arrows, some magical spells.
• 1:42:46
  SPEAKER_02: And, uh...
• 1:42:53
  SPEAKER_02: Some type of magic you can't quite put your hand on.
• 1:42:59
  SPEAKER_02: Just utterly evaporates this being.
• 1:43:11
  SPEAKER_00: Where the fuck were you a few days ago?
• 1:43:13
  SPEAKER_02: Here.
• 1:43:16
  SPEAKER_02: Not here, here.
• 1:43:18
  SPEAKER_00: Doesn't fucking help anybody else, now does it?
• 1:43:21
  SPEAKER_00: Slandering my name, slandering my wife's name.
• 1:43:24
  SPEAKER_00: This is bullshit.
• 1:43:26
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, she was just with Lady Ren, speaking of your wife.
• 1:43:36
  SPEAKER_02: What was that?
• 1:43:39
  SPEAKER_02: She was just with Lady Ren, speaking of your wife.
• 1:43:43
  SPEAKER_00: Also that!
• 1:43:57
  SPEAKER_00: Can I throw a Lantana badge... ...out the human?
• 1:44:08
  SPEAKER_02: You don't think that's a good idea right now.
• 1:44:11
  SPEAKER_00: What if I yell catch first?
• 1:44:18
  SPEAKER_02: Slightly less of a bad idea?
• 1:44:24
  SPEAKER_02: You admitted to blowing something up,
• 1:44:25
  SPEAKER_02: they're gonna think you're throwing a bomb at him or something.
• 1:44:27
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, this guy's right in front of me, right?
• 1:44:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:44:31
  SPEAKER_00: Do I think he can read?
• 1:44:35
  SPEAKER_02: You've never met a commander that couldn't read.
• 1:44:38
  SPEAKER_00: All of them wore pants.
• 1:44:44
  SPEAKER_02: No, some of them wore robes.
• 1:44:49
  SPEAKER_00: I would assume they had pants on under them.
• 1:44:52
  SPEAKER_02: They were really long robes.
• 1:44:54
  SPEAKER_02: They touched the floor.
• 1:44:54
  SPEAKER_02: You weren't sure.
• 1:44:55
  SPEAKER_00: Pants.
• 1:45:00
  SPEAKER_00: You know, it's just gonna, like, toss it at the orc.
• 1:45:08
  SPEAKER_00: Fucking read it.
• 1:45:09
  SPEAKER_02: It says it has a Lantan and a family crest on it.
• 1:45:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, she gave us those.
• 1:45:18
  SPEAKER_02: Who?
• 1:45:19
  SPEAKER_00: Wren.
• 1:45:21
  SPEAKER_02: Lady Wren.
• 1:45:22

• 1:45:37

• 1:45:45
  of steps down and
• 1:45:46
  steps down and just jumps into the arena behind and walks up
• 1:45:51
  and puts a hand on
• 1:45:53
  SPEAKER_02: Commander Gilrayal Shoulder.
• 1:46:01
  Commander,
• 1:46:01
  take a squad and sweep the lower basement for any more
• 1:46:07
  intrusions.
• 1:46:13
  SPEAKER_02: I think the counselor and I can handle this from here.
• 1:46:17
  SPEAKER_02: Also have the arena guards clear out the civilians.
• 1:46:21
  SPEAKER_02: I wouldn't want any collateral damage in case this gets hairy.
• 1:46:25
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, boss.
• 1:46:31
  SPEAKER_02: He kind of moves and waves on.
• 1:46:33
  SPEAKER_02: Someone jumps down from over here.
• 1:46:36
  SPEAKER_02: Couple jump down from over here.
• 1:46:38
  SPEAKER_02: Someone jumps down from over here to follow him all underground.
• 1:46:44
  SPEAKER_00: As he's going down, Yenor's gonna call back.
• 1:46:47
  SPEAKER_00: I want an apology later!
• 1:46:48
  SPEAKER_00: Dick.
• 1:46:54
  SPEAKER_02: So they go underground.
• 1:46:58
  SPEAKER_02: You see civilians being rapidly dispersed from the arena.
• 1:47:03
  SPEAKER_02: Like... Rapidly.
• 1:47:14
  SPEAKER_02: Hey guys,
• 1:47:14
  SPEAKER_02: quick reminder to leave a like,
• 1:47:17
  SPEAKER_02: a comment,
• 1:47:18
  SPEAKER_02: and don't forget to follow or subscribe to us.
• 1:47:21
  SPEAKER_01: Thanks!
• 1:47:27
  You see the Dragonborn kind of step forward up here with two
• 1:47:33
  guards on either side,
• 1:47:34
  SPEAKER_02: or with one guard on either side of him.
• 1:47:39
  SPEAKER_02: As I'm trying to
• 1:47:54
  SPEAKER_02: He kind of stands there and smiles at you.
• 1:47:59
  SPEAKER_02: Investigator Greybreeze.
• 1:48:02
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, so you knew who I am.
• 1:48:06
  SPEAKER_00: You knew.
• 1:48:06
  SPEAKER_00: And you allowed that to happen.
• 1:48:09
  SPEAKER_02: I did.
• 1:48:09
  SPEAKER_00: I want an apology from you, too, then.
• 1:48:11
  SPEAKER_00: I am insulted.
• 1:48:12
  SPEAKER_00: My wife is insulted.
• 1:48:14
  SPEAKER_00: Wren should be insulted.
• 1:48:16
  I want you to know there was just a set of doppelgangers here
• 1:48:20
  claiming to be you a few days ago.
• 1:48:25
  SPEAKER_00: Not nearly as gorgeous as us two.
• 1:48:27
  SPEAKER_02: Identical.
• 1:48:30
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 1:48:31
  SPEAKER_02: They can't replicate this space.
• 1:48:34
  They were missing three creatures from their attempt at
• 1:48:42
  convincing us that they were them.
• 1:48:46
  SPEAKER_00: Ah, wait.
• 1:48:47
  SPEAKER_00: How many days ago?
• 1:48:49
  SPEAKER_02: A few days ago.
• 1:48:50
  SPEAKER_00: But did they have this?
• 1:48:52
  SPEAKER_00: And she shows the
• 1:48:54
  SPEAKER_00: twirly pattern on her arms and hands with the eyeballs.
• 1:48:59
  SPEAKER_02: I was gonna need you to check in with our mages on that one.
• 1:49:04
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely not.
• 1:49:06
  SPEAKER_02: Not even Penn can do it up there.
• 1:49:08
  SPEAKER_00: He can keep his dirty fingers away from me.
• 1:49:12
  SPEAKER_02: He's already analyzed it.
• 1:49:14
  SPEAKER_00: It's mine.
• 1:49:19
  SPEAKER_02: He kinda just glances back at Penn,
• 1:49:20
  SPEAKER_02: who picks his staff up and kinda just bangs it on the ground.
• 1:49:28
  SPEAKER_02: You feel a restorative magic wash over you.
• 1:49:33
  SPEAKER_02: Temporarily.
• 1:49:35
  SPEAKER_02: You know the effects of a restoration magic.
• 1:49:39
  SPEAKER_02: Feels more like a ceiling type magic to block any
• 1:49:46
  SPEAKER_02: unwanted influence in this conversation.
• 1:49:51
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't consent to that, and you're asked.
• 1:49:59
  SPEAKER_00: Ask first.
• 1:50:03
  SPEAKER_02: See, but you're wanted.
• 1:50:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, for shit that's not our fault.
• 1:50:10
  SPEAKER_00: Might be their fault, not mine.
• 1:50:13
  SPEAKER_02: It's what all wanted people say.
• 1:50:18
  SPEAKER_02: I'm sure you've heard that story before from people you've chased down.
• 1:50:22
  SPEAKER_00: You know who I am.
• 1:50:23
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 1:50:24
  SPEAKER_00: You know what I do.
• 1:50:25
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 1:50:26
  SPEAKER_00: You know that I wouldn't be doing the shit that they say I'm doing.
• 1:50:29
  SPEAKER_02: It's the reason why we're having a conversation.
• 1:50:32
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 1:50:33
  SPEAKER_00: Now,
• 1:50:34
  SPEAKER_00: while I have your attention,
• 1:50:36
  SPEAKER_00: Belfast is missing,
• 1:50:38
  SPEAKER_00: Lady Ren's about to be attacked,
• 1:50:40
  and there's some shadow figure who says that we have to either
• 1:50:43
  join him and do his
• 1:50:45
  SPEAKER_00: shit,
• 1:50:47
  SPEAKER_00: or he's gonna do stuff.
• 1:50:53
  SPEAKER_02: Can't do anything about Belfast.
• 1:50:57
  SPEAKER_01: Oh.
• 1:50:59
  SPEAKER_00: Excuse me?
• 1:51:03
  SPEAKER_00: He is our friend.
• 1:51:05
  SPEAKER_00: He is my friend.
• 1:51:06
  SPEAKER_02: Your friend.
• 1:51:09
  SPEAKER_02: But he's on the Ajahnians' payroll.
• 1:51:15
  SPEAKER_02: Send a request to them.
• 1:51:17
  SPEAKER_00: To rescue him?
• 1:51:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 1:51:20
  SPEAKER_00: To rescue a man?
• 1:51:23
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 1:51:25
  SPEAKER_00: You have to request... Why does his employer matter?
• 1:51:32
  SPEAKER_02: Not his employer.
• 1:51:36
  SPEAKER_00: Explain.
• 1:51:39
  SPEAKER_02: He is their asset.
• 1:51:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm about to take their asses.
• 1:51:55
  SPEAKER_02: Probably have to take that up with your boss.
• 1:51:58
  SPEAKER_00: He owes me a lot.
• 1:52:00
  SPEAKER_00: He owes all of us.
• 1:52:02
  SPEAKER_00: A lot.
• 1:52:03
  SPEAKER_02: Your boss?
• 1:52:04
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 1:52:05
  SPEAKER_00: Us.
• 1:52:06
  SPEAKER_00: Gestures.
• 1:52:07
  SPEAKER_02: Who owes you?
• 1:52:09
  SPEAKER_00: Belfast.
• 1:52:11
  SPEAKER_02: He owes a lot of people a lot.
• 1:52:15
  SPEAKER_02: But he's not very liked.
• 1:52:16
  SPEAKER_00: I like him.
• 1:52:18
  SPEAKER_02: It's a surprise.
• 1:52:21
  SPEAKER_00: There is good in everybody.
• 1:52:25
  See,
• 1:52:25
  he kind of just rests a hand back on his greatsword,
• 1:52:28
  and he's just standing there.
• 1:52:30
  SPEAKER_00: You know, if I did that, they'd say it was a threat.
• 1:52:40
  SPEAKER_02: Now!
• 1:52:40
  SPEAKER_02: I know you say Lady Wren's in trouble.
• 1:52:50
  SPEAKER_02: What about her mother?
• 1:52:57
  SPEAKER_00: Does Lala still have the note?
• 1:53:02
  SPEAKER_02: The note, the ransom note?
• 1:53:04
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:53:04
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 1:53:07
  SPEAKER_00: I'd take it from her.
• 1:53:09
  SPEAKER_02: I'm pretty sure she gave it to you anyway.
• 1:53:12
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, well then I have it and I hand it to him.
• 1:53:14
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 1:53:19
  SPEAKER_00: Last we heard, they were attacked.
• 1:53:22
  SPEAKER_00: They had towers destroyed.
• 1:53:28
  SPEAKER_00: Their magical shield went down.
• 1:53:30
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 1:53:33
  SPEAKER_00: And there were more coming.
• 1:53:38
  SPEAKER_02: And her mother wasn't home.
• 1:53:40
  SPEAKER_00: No, her mother just got there, I thought.
• 1:53:45
  SPEAKER_02: I know.
• 1:53:45
  SPEAKER_02: From what you remember, her mother was about a day and a half out.
• 1:53:54
  SPEAKER_02: That's the reason they attacked.
• 1:53:58
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but daddy was killed there.
• 1:54:02
  SPEAKER_02: He's a little timid.
• 1:54:07
  SPEAKER_02: Her mother's the aggressive one.
• 1:54:19
  SPEAKER_02: I will grant you access to my city.
• 1:54:24
  SPEAKER_02: You will be under supervision.
• 1:54:26
  until we can convene a general meeting of the council in which
• 1:54:33
  you will be invited
• 1:54:36
  SPEAKER_02: to speak your case and the council will deliberate.
• 1:54:41
  SPEAKER_00: The only one who needs supervision is Lala.
• 1:54:49
  Aren't we here just to talk to you to help to get more help to
• 1:54:54
  stop the attacks?
• 1:54:57
  SPEAKER_02: Fortunately,
• 1:54:58
  SPEAKER_02: whatever Eos or Lady Ren had told you,
• 1:55:03
  I do not have the authority to use our forces on foreign
• 1:55:10
  missions without the
• 1:55:12
  SPEAKER_02: approval of the council.
• 1:55:16
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, politics.
• 1:55:19
  SPEAKER_00: That's why I stay a detective.
• 1:55:21
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not moving up anymore.
• 1:55:22
  SPEAKER_00: Fuck it.
• 1:55:27
  SPEAKER_02: Now,
• 1:55:29
  these circumstances could change where some type of evidence
• 1:55:34
  that you are talking
• 1:55:35
  SPEAKER_02: about gets linked back to some type of evidence that we find in Keldis.
• 1:55:45
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe we'd be able to launch a covert investigation.
• 1:56:08
  SPEAKER_02: I can convene an emergency meeting of the councils tomorrow.
• 1:56:17
  SPEAKER_00: And that's the earliest that they'll meet?
• 1:56:24
  SPEAKER_02: Unfortunately,
• 1:56:25
  SPEAKER_02: that's the only time that all the counselors,
• 1:56:28
  SPEAKER_02: not Cersei only,
• 1:56:30
  SPEAKER_02: that is the earliest that all of the counselors will be back in the city.
• 1:56:36
  SPEAKER_00: You have teleportation.
• 1:56:41
  SPEAKER_00: And this is of a dire matter.
• 1:56:44
  SPEAKER_02: Only some of them have teleportation.
• 1:56:47
  SPEAKER_02: And only from certain points.
• 1:56:56
  SPEAKER_02: For example, I do not have teleportation.
• 1:57:00
  SPEAKER_02: He can only teleport through trees, and he points up to Capsular Pentrum.
• 1:57:07
  SPEAKER_00: There's portals everywhere.
• 1:57:09
  SPEAKER_02: Not everywhere.
• 1:57:12
  SPEAKER_00: There were two in the basement!
• 1:57:16
  SPEAKER_02: You said you accidentally got there.
• 1:57:20
  SPEAKER_02: So that's not a permanent portal.
• 1:57:23
  SPEAKER_02: As far as the other one, I sent him down there to investigate.
• 1:57:28
  SPEAKER_00: That just proves my point.
• 1:57:30
  SPEAKER_00: You can make a portal anywhere by accident.
• 1:57:35
  SPEAKER_00: So if you tried hard enough, you could figure it out.
• 1:57:39
  SPEAKER_00: You guys are supposed to be the smart ones.
• 1:57:42
  SPEAKER_02: Only powerful people can make portals anywhere.
• 1:57:47
  SPEAKER_02: I'm talking like...
• 1:57:52
  SPEAKER_02: God killers.
• 1:57:57
  SPEAKER_02: Demon lord hunters.
• 1:58:01
  SPEAKER_00: Enor's gonna glance over at Wakim.
• 1:58:05
  SPEAKER_02: Only those types of beings can create a portal from nothing.
• 1:58:16
  SPEAKER_02: You will be under discreet supervision.
• 1:58:23
  SPEAKER_02: until we have the council meeting tomorrow.
• 1:58:25
  SPEAKER_02: However, you will not be on house arrest.
• 1:58:29
  SPEAKER_02: So you will be able to move around the city as needed.
• 1:58:34
  SPEAKER_02: Just don't cause any trouble.
• 1:58:41
  SPEAKER_00: What is defined as trouble?
• 1:58:50
  SPEAKER_00: Just so we're on the same page.
• 1:58:53
  SPEAKER_02: Break anything.
• 1:58:56
  SPEAKER_02: Don't start any fights.
• 1:59:01
  SPEAKER_02: See something suspicious.
• 1:59:04
  SPEAKER_02: Report it.
• 1:59:05
  SPEAKER_02: Do not go after it.
• 1:59:07
  SPEAKER_00: Do you mind writing that down for me?
• 1:59:16
  SPEAKER_00: It's a lot of rules.
• 1:59:19
  SPEAKER_02: Three rules.
• 1:59:22
  SPEAKER_00: Oh look, he can count.
• 1:59:24
  SPEAKER_02: I can.
• 1:59:32
  SPEAKER_02: If you can agree to that, I will let you into the city.
• 1:59:39
  SPEAKER_00: I look at them.
• 1:59:40
  SPEAKER_00: Do you guys agree?
• 1:59:41
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not looking to do anything.
• 1:59:49
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, of course.
• 1:59:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:59:54
  SPEAKER_02: I don't really like the do not engage part, but yeah, I guess.
• 2:00:07
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I'm with you, whatever you decide.
• 2:00:15
  If we're going to get assistance,
• 2:00:16
  we got to follow the rules until we can get there.
• 2:00:24
  SPEAKER_00: We'll behave.
• 2:00:27
  SPEAKER_02: She kind of nudges you again and whispers, we are a little suspicious.
• 2:00:33
  SPEAKER_02: It's only because of her and she gestures at Lala.
• 2:00:37
  SPEAKER_02: It's her fault.
• 2:00:38
  SPEAKER_02: It's fine.
• 2:00:39
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, you had tattoos and eyeballs on your... It's for Tessin!
• 2:00:47
  SPEAKER_02: Again, we have a weird three-eyed bird.
• 2:00:52
  SPEAKER_00: He's just a, he's got a genetic mutation.
• 2:00:56
  SPEAKER_02: We have a not child child that enjoys stealing things.
• 2:01:06
  SPEAKER_02: Gestures to Lala.
• 2:01:11
  SPEAKER_03: He doesn't know that she likes it.
• 2:01:12
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know what Wakim's dealing with.
• 2:01:22
  SPEAKER_02: Waqeem is the sketchiest of all of us.
• 2:01:24
  SPEAKER_02: We're a questionable group.
• 2:01:28
  SPEAKER_00: Excuse me, I'm the sketchiest.
• 2:01:30
  SPEAKER_00: I mean,
• 2:01:30
  SPEAKER_00: you literally grow eyes as needed nowadays,
• 2:01:33
  SPEAKER_00: so I don't know what the hell's going on with you.
• 2:01:36
  SPEAKER_00: The better to see you with, my dear.
• 2:01:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:01:39
  SPEAKER_00: You should take a look in the mirror, sweet.
• 2:01:45
  SPEAKER_00: I do, all the time.
• 2:01:48
  SPEAKER_00: Kyda, do you know that your wife now has eyes in her palms?
• 2:01:52
  SPEAKER_02: I do.
• 2:01:54
  SPEAKER_02: It's an adjustment, but it's fine.
• 2:01:57
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't feel so fun.
• 2:02:02
  SPEAKER_02: If we haven't a deal, I will formally introduce myself.
• 2:02:05
  SPEAKER_02: I am General Malachi.
• 2:02:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I figured.
• 2:02:08
  SPEAKER_00: And she looks him up and down.
• 2:02:09
  SPEAKER_02: Hi, General and Counselor of Keldus.
• 2:02:22
  SPEAKER_02: My colleague up there is Counselor Pendragon.
• 2:02:32
  SPEAKER_00: A shiny one.
• 2:02:35
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, he is quite shiny, is he not?
• 2:02:36
  SPEAKER_02: He is very proud of being shiny.
• 2:02:42
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just curious.
• 2:02:45
  SPEAKER_00: I'm guessing there are shards that float around Pendragon's head, right?
• 2:02:51
  SPEAKER_02: No, he's just an Emerald Dragonborn.
• 2:02:53
  SPEAKER_02: There's no shards around him.
• 2:02:55
  SPEAKER_00: Oh,
• 2:02:55
  SPEAKER_00: I thought that the Emerald Dragonborns,
• 2:02:58
  SPEAKER_00: they had their horns telekinetically floating around them.
• 2:03:01
  SPEAKER_00: My mistake.
• 2:03:04
  SPEAKER_02: No, not currently.
• 2:03:07
  SPEAKER_02: He is also an Archdruid.
• 2:03:11
  SPEAKER_02: And he is rank 8 of the 8th Year Saints.
• 2:03:16
  SPEAKER_01: Do I see mushrooms on him?
• 2:03:19
  SPEAKER_02: You do.
• 2:03:20
  SPEAKER_02: He does throw those.
• 2:03:21
  SPEAKER_02: I... That's just what he does.
• 2:03:27
  SPEAKER_02: No one questions it.
• 2:03:29
  SPEAKER_02: They work well.
• 2:03:30
  SPEAKER_02: It's just, it is what it is.
• 2:03:36
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, he is a druid, so...
• 2:03:42
  SPEAKER_02: We will,
• 2:03:43
  SPEAKER_02: along with our two guards there,
• 2:03:45
  escort you into the city and we'll make sure we set you up in a
• 2:03:53
  central location
• 2:03:54
  SPEAKER_02: that is near enough so you're not walking so far for tomorrow's meeting.
• 2:04:01
  SPEAKER_00: Sorry, so you are in support of the Lantanas?
• 2:04:06
  SPEAKER_02: I am in support of doing what is right for the balance of the world.
• 2:04:14
  SPEAKER_00: That's incredibly vague, sir.
• 2:04:18
  SPEAKER_02: I have to be vague, unfortunately.
• 2:04:20
  SPEAKER_00: Joachim just kind of pouts.
• 2:04:27
  Till we have a decision,
• 2:04:29
  I cannot give you any further answers other than vague ones.
• 2:04:40
  SPEAKER_02: There has been enough turmoil throughout history.
• 2:04:42
  SPEAKER_02: I am not here to start more.
• 2:04:47
  SPEAKER_00: I assure you, we're not looking to cause trouble, but do as you will.
• 2:04:52
  SPEAKER_02: Follow me.
• 2:04:53
  SPEAKER_02: And he starts leading you out of the arena.
• 2:04:55
  SPEAKER_02: As he leads all of you out of the arena, you see kind of...
• 2:05:06
  Counselor Pendragon kind of walks up slowly next to all of you
• 2:05:09
  before catching up
• 2:05:10
  SPEAKER_02: to General Malachi,
• 2:05:14
  SPEAKER_02: and the two guards that were with Pen kind of fallen behind your group,
• 2:05:19
  SPEAKER_02: keeping an eye.
• 2:05:22
  SPEAKER_02: Both on you all and on the surroundings for any potential ambushes.
• 2:05:32
  SPEAKER_02: As you are led back,
• 2:05:35
  SPEAKER_02: from the arena through one of the city gates into Keldis.
• 2:05:40
  SPEAKER_02: We are going to call tonight's session there as a good stopping point.
• 2:05:48
  SPEAKER_02: Before we close,
• 2:05:49
  SPEAKER_02: however,
• 2:05:49
  SPEAKER_02: I will show you...
• 2:05:51
  SPEAKER_02: If it loads...
• 2:05:58
  SPEAKER_02: It was really nice seeing the three of those,
• 2:06:01
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 2:06:02
  SPEAKER_02: even no pants...
• 2:06:13
  SPEAKER_02: So you should see... The city of Keldus.
• 2:06:23
  SPEAKER_02: This is the city you have now gotten access through.
• 2:06:28
  SPEAKER_02: The arena is somewhere over in this area.
• 2:06:36
  to the northern side of Keldas,
• 2:06:38
  so you're most likely being led through this gate here.
• 2:06:46
  SPEAKER_00: That symbol, is that the symbol of the city or something else?
• 2:06:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 2:06:51
  SPEAKER_02: Nope, that's the symbol of the city.
• 2:06:55
  SPEAKER_00: Interesting.
• 2:06:57
  SPEAKER_02: Slash the Keldasian, since the city is also the
• 2:07:01
  SPEAKER_02: Capital.
• 2:07:02
  SPEAKER_02: Capital.
• 2:07:03
  SPEAKER_02: Because Keldis is a one... It's Keldis and Keldis.
• 2:07:10
  SPEAKER_02: It is not a very large empire.
• 2:07:12
  SPEAKER_02: It is just really this city with the outlying outskirts around it.
• 2:07:17
  SPEAKER_02: Gotcha.
• 2:07:21
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 2:07:22
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 2:07:24
  SPEAKER_02: The city...
• 2:07:26
  SPEAKER_02: You guys are now in the city of Keldis.
• 2:07:28
  SPEAKER_02: You made it successfully.
• 2:07:31
  SPEAKER_02: No one died.
• 2:07:31
  SPEAKER_00: No, just went through some changes.
