Wish Hunter #14: Wishfall · DiceSized

• 0:15
  Welcome to Die Sized and welcome back to Wish Hunter.
• 0:19
  This is me, your DM Robert Whitehead, and with me, as
• 0:23
  always, is my lovely table of friends and family.
• 0:25
  Here we of course have George. Hey, it's G back to play Parable
• 0:29
  and talk about some awesome action last episode, but I'm
• 0:33
  more excited to see what happens after we step into to our
• 0:37
  characters. We just killed something pretty
• 0:40
  big. I think Papaya right now.
• 0:42
  If this was just all Papaya story, this is the end, right?
• 0:45
  Like if it's Papaya's story, we're done.
• 0:47
  The campaign's over. The murder has happened.
• 0:49
  Yeah, and we epilogue Papaya into a nice little happy life
• 0:53
  about how the world's still fucked up and things are going
• 0:56
  on. But no, we have 3 heroes that
• 0:58
  still need to care about that. So before we get to that, we of
• 1:02
  course have Maya. It's Maya.
• 1:03
  You can call me Maya. I'm feeling good.
• 1:06
  Zen's feeling itchy. She just absorbed Lord.
• 1:09
  Knows what? Light knows what.
• 1:11
  Zen's just absorbed light knows what.
• 1:14
  But all of a sudden, I guess she can do that now so.
• 1:17
  Oh God, what is it? Yeah.
• 1:19
  Another thing for Zen to come to terms with the.
• 1:21
  Use of the charms from the third well that you guys gathered at
• 1:25
  the the very first episode that you guys dealt with Mojo and and
• 1:29
  yeah, sent on this mission. Oh my gosh, I cannot believe.
• 1:32
  By the way, usually wild, wild days ago, but it is episode 14
• 1:38
  and I am as excited to get at the session as I was when you
• 1:41
  guys used those charms, which was very excited.
• 1:45
  And I'm even more excited to introduce my lovely, lovely
• 1:48
  wife, Savannah. Sav here, I will be playing
• 1:51
  Cassie as usual, but tonight you can call her Dragon Rider.
• 1:55
  Dragon Rider. Oh yeah, she's a dragon.
• 1:57
  Rider. She's a fucking dragon.
• 1:59
  I've. Listened to it so many times.
• 2:03
  You guys were awesome. It's it's, it's great.
• 2:06
  I think at some point I'm just like you maniacs.
• 2:08
  Like I do have things to say if ever wants a fucking combo.
• 2:12
  Never. It was a moment for absolute and
• 2:14
  true excitement when Cassie became that dragon rider.
• 2:17
  And I think it also served you as well as Cassie from dragon
• 2:21
  back spoke with God and gave you guys the perfect insights.
• 2:27
  And now you might need to deal with the fallout, allegedly.
• 2:33
  I I was literally nervous on my intro thinking about this.
• 2:35
  I was like coming like, and we were an after show, like, yeah,
• 2:38
  we're going to talk about this. I don't want to do it.
• 2:40
  I've been manifesting that now. Wish Hunker's gone, Problem's
• 2:43
  gone. Yeah, yeah.
• 2:45
  We're yeah, Witch Hunter's over that.
• 2:46
  That was the. In Zen's opinion, she just
• 2:48
  changed the world so. You can check that on the.
• 2:52
  List. They just check up a ball.
• 2:54
  Checkmate. Oh.
• 2:56
  That was good. That was very good.
• 2:58
  And I guess you have a right to feel like as heroes that you've
• 3:03
  kind of dodged the last bit of the danger, because even after
• 3:05
  the wishrinker died, it like sucked back in on itself.
• 3:07
  And Parable had dodged that shit.
• 3:09
  And now it's just a turbulent atmosphere as you guys have
• 3:13
  stirred up from everything from Hellfire storms to astral tides.
• 3:17
  And some of them have been whipped up around you.
• 3:19
  But I'm getting ahead of myself, I think.
• 3:22
  First, on to a recap. Last time our heroes ascended
• 3:28
  into the storm, tossed skies for desperate battle against the
• 3:32
  Whish Drinker attacking from dragon back.
• 3:34
  Astride winged boots, broom, and cloud, our heroes rode the winds
• 3:38
  and struck from all sides. Zinn blazed upward on her fiery
• 3:43
  lupine comet. Cassie wielded divine insight
• 3:45
  from her mother Sign, goddess of luck and omens, and Parable
• 3:49
  unleashed thunderous mites that carried with them the strength
• 3:52
  of the Paladin's will. They fought alongside
• 3:55
  Saphandrea, worried Mother and Wish Dragon, and the echo bound
• 3:58
  duo Coin and Sir Morris, who stray Wish drew Cassie's casting
• 4:02
  and briefly transformed them into a flying wasp, allowing
• 4:06
  them to enter the fight. A good wish indeed.
• 4:09
  Wish Drinker lashed out with claws and crystalline webs,
• 4:12
  trying to drink of their very beings.
• 4:15
  Zinn was briefly blinded by her own brilliance as she rocked it
• 4:18
  upward. Cassie divined answers from the
• 4:19
  heavens while altering fate to protect her friends, and Parable
• 4:23
  clashed with the Wishbinker, grappled and nearly drained of
• 4:26
  his soul, his vitality, his essence.
• 4:30
  Parable sought strength from his oath and his friends.
• 4:33
  It was Safondria that came to his aid in that moment, using
• 4:36
  witchcraft to rewrite the moment, nearly losing 45 hit
• 4:40
  points and five points of Prisma, more than half of his
• 4:43
  vitality and a third of his identity and memory.
• 4:46
  Parable instead reclaimed a piece of himself and bound it to
• 4:50
  the Good Book. As Parable recognized the magic
• 4:53
  of wishes that course through him and the noble Jin, half of
• 4:56
  his nature was revealed. A silver handprint stayed upon
• 5:00
  the Good Books page. With God sent insight from
• 5:04
  Cassie revealing A vulnerable core, the tide of the battle was
• 5:07
  set to turn parable. Seeing as chance shattered his
• 5:12
  charm of the third well wish magics run wild through his
• 5:16
  silver veins, his blade too battered, too beaten to
• 5:21
  breakthrough alone. First shown with a burning
• 5:24
  iridescence, then became a crackling blade of pure force.
• 5:28
  His body too too slow, too vulnerable, first turned to
• 5:33
  silver, then became wind and a flash.
• 5:36
  Parable was behind the creature slashing another flash and his
• 5:38
  breath imbued luck blade pierced through the wish drinker center.
• 5:42
  The creatures core shattered ever Starfall become wish
• 5:48
  drinker unraveled, spasming and screaming as it's many fold
• 5:52
  imprisoned beings were freed from their prisons with its
• 5:56
  final death throes. Ever first born of living wishes
• 6:01
  delivered its coughing spasming message.
• 6:05
  I was forged to delay the end. I bear the weight of all things.
• 6:11
  When all your luck runs dry and the world begs for one more
• 6:15
  second. Won't cry out for you, will cry
• 6:19
  out for me. And with that sent out one last
• 6:23
  mighty scream of star song as it collapsed in upon itself.
• 6:28
  We rejoin our heroes now as Papaya and Team Pavilion let out
• 6:33
  a great battle cry below. You hear it ring out through the
• 6:41
  valley as Papaya shouts his victory.
• 6:45
  Parable is shaking and says we did it Big P.
• 6:50
  Through your fine steed connection, you can feel his
• 6:52
  elation in this moment as the valley is no longer under a such
• 6:58
  a supernatural threat that the natural world had no option but
• 7:01
  to flee. Every living creature had no
• 7:04
  option and knew it in terms of its survival.
• 7:07
  You've given that to this valley, a chance to live on even
• 7:10
  in this turbulent world. I think Zen is just going to buy
• 7:14
  her broom up to Parable and not like just pull up next to him
• 7:18
  and just put her hand on his shoulder.
• 7:20
  I'm shocked at first that I whip around and I see it's you and
• 7:23
  like, oh. It's me, It's me Apparel.
• 7:25
  I'm sorry. I just got my sight back.
• 7:27
  And is it gone? Is it?
• 7:28
  Is it dead? I well, I was blind there for a
• 7:31
  second, but I'm pretty sure it's gone.
• 7:34
  You were blind. Yeah, You know, I tried this big
• 7:37
  fire thing and then it was like, it was like really bright like
• 7:39
  it was. Kind of cool.
• 7:40
  Was that so bright? I thought that was you.
• 7:41
  You, you were a fireball. Yeah, it was kind of wild for a
• 7:44
  second. Cass.
• 7:46
  Cass, Dude, did we? Oh my God.
• 7:52
  I'm here. I'm here.
• 7:54
  I'm here. Stephandra sweeps in.
• 7:55
  We are here. Where are you I?
• 7:56
  Think Stephandra probably goes straight to Glimmer.
• 8:00
  Stephandra drops you off towards the cloud and heads straight
• 8:03
  towards Glimmer, and you can see that she is also elated, but
• 8:07
  still kind of has that panic of of parent who doesn't have their
• 8:11
  kid in their arms and just yeah, drops you off with the party
• 8:16
  upon the cloud and you are rejoined with Raya, who had
• 8:19
  since left with celestial wings. And she drops back in her wings
• 8:23
  drop in and she says we did it, we did it.
• 8:25
  I don't he he wasn't right after all.
• 8:28
  Nothing. Nothing about that was right.
• 8:30
  I was all wrong. You know I am one to say that.
• 8:33
  Light comes in all different form.
• 8:35
  That light was not OK, Not good, not good light, bad light.
• 8:38
  Actually, one might say bad light.
• 8:40
  Speaking of light. And I pick up my hand and I see
• 8:43
  if I'm still silvery. You like flash to silver for a
• 8:46
  moment when Zen scared you, and it's still like settling as like
• 8:49
  silver ripples ripple through your veins and it feels like a
• 8:52
  storm is running throughout you. Parable Are you sick?
• 8:56
  I, I don't, I don't know. It's I, I, I think as if
• 9:00
  someone's processing adrenaline. He's just shaking and unsure and
• 9:05
  like has a lot of did we do that energy and still like someone's
• 9:09
  around the corner to get him and he's looking at his hands and
• 9:12
  almost threw his hand at you. I, I don't know if I'm sick.
• 9:15
  I, I feel stronger than I ever have, but it feels wrong.
• 9:19
  But right, I don't know. Cassie opens her arms and
• 9:23
  invites everyone in for her first ever group hug.
• 9:27
  As you as you do, Raya almost mirrors you, sensing your
• 9:32
  energy, and you 2 the lanes just as they're fading, kind of
• 9:38
  gather up around you all as Cassie offers a group hug.
• 9:42
  Yeah, I think Zen does like the arms down, but likely.
• 9:45
  But the type of hug, like I want this to happen.
• 9:47
  Like, you got to make me do it, Yeah.
• 9:49
  Yeah, terrible. I'm.
• 9:50
  Just so glad we all lived. I was so scared to see you all
• 9:55
  hurt and in the thick of things. I was so worried.
• 9:59
  I've never felt that way before. It felt like you were there the
• 10:04
  whole time. I've never had anyone who I was
• 10:06
  so worried about. I.
• 10:10
  I feel the same and I think I I try to test if I'm going to pass
• 10:13
  through Cassie as I touch her and as soon as I don't, I like
• 10:17
  jump at her and I wrap my my arms around your leg and I just
• 10:22
  squeeze and say I'm so grateful for both of you.
• 10:24
  We did it, we did it. It felt like you.
• 10:28
  Did it? Oh my God, you did it.
• 10:29
  You all did it, you guys. You did that.
• 10:32
  I think we all did it, but yeah. No, I got, you know, captured
• 10:36
  and then I exploded and I blinded myself and then and then
• 10:39
  all of a sudden pee is just there and then not there and
• 10:42
  then there and then not there and then The thing is not there.
• 10:45
  I I don't know what happened. I just I I felt a fire within me
• 10:49
  and my body became wind and I think.
• 10:53
  You fucking stuck it in and run away my friend, it's what you
• 10:57
  like. Slowly, like levitating up.
• 10:59
  From the they're here too as yes, you see that like
• 11:05
  Sophondria and Glimmer, the valley has grown way less
• 11:08
  claustrophobic as the the spider webs have fully like started to
• 11:12
  disintegrate and you can hear life in the forest returning.
• 11:15
  But Sophondria and Glimmer have their own little like corner of
• 11:19
  this little clearing, and being airlifted up from there is
• 11:23
  Vilano, Lavillian and Papaya as they have come to rejoin you.
• 11:27
  It would be psychedelic as hell to watch a bunch of webs around
• 11:31
  a forest dissolve. Yeah.
• 11:33
  I imagine it's like sugar crystal kind of style do.
• 11:36
  You. Think do you guys think we could
• 11:37
  meet them on the ground instead? I'm kind of missing the ground.
• 11:41
  Oh my God, we're so high. Oh, no.
• 11:44
  Oh, yeah. OK.
• 11:44
  We're stay where you are. Papaya.
• 11:46
  She's like goes into his little brain and he's like, we're on
• 11:50
  our way to you. Stay put.
• 11:51
  Stay put. Stay put.
• 11:52
  I'm so proud of you, though. I'm so proud of you.
• 11:53
  I really sent you in there and you really did got the thing
• 11:55
  done. Would you tell him I love him?
• 11:57
  Big P Little P loves you. I forget who is Big P and who's
• 12:01
  Little P because you guys are. I'm obviously little P.
• 12:05
  Yeah, you know, it was a really stressful fight.
• 12:07
  I just lost my son. So anyways, each other ground
• 12:10
  by. You hear little millions excited
• 12:13
  voice start to like it was getting louder and now it gets
• 12:16
  quieter. It says wish Buster.
• 12:19
  No, no. Milano stayed with them the
• 12:24
  whole time. I did.
• 12:26
  I did. Check me out.
• 12:28
  Right, right. You're echoing up to.
• 12:30
  A head yet? The I think parable stays in hug
• 12:35
  position. Lean on Me style.
• 12:37
  I think forehead to forehead. Ryan looks at you, Cassie, and
• 12:39
  says, you talked to Mom didn't you?
• 12:43
  Yeah, what about it? What was it like?
• 12:48
  You know what it was like? Well, she's only talked to me
• 12:51
  once. Just once.
• 12:54
  And I can remember. What'd you say?
• 12:56
  You talked to all the living wishes when we gathered, but
• 13:00
  they they weren't like me. I was.
• 13:03
  She looks kind of proud and says something special.
• 13:07
  She gave me a bit of herself. I think it's starting to come
• 13:10
  back and I remember that she wished for me and then she said
• 13:16
  I wish that you would give my daughter a little bit of luck.
• 13:19
  She needs it. Ever since those words are just,
• 13:24
  they're the most beautiful thing that I've ever heard.
• 13:26
  I can I can tell that you heard the beauty of her voice too.
• 13:30
  I did, and it was kind of like, like what?
• 13:34
  Well, you probably don't know smells, do you?
• 13:37
  She tries really hard to smell like, really like, and then two
• 13:40
  little stars come over to like, pretend to be a nose and they
• 13:44
  glow and she. I think I get it.
• 13:48
  Well, sometimes a smell can unlock a whole bunch more
• 13:52
  memories besides just the smell. And she passes her hand over
• 13:58
  your mother's journal that you've like let her hold every
• 14:00
  once in a while. And she says, I think I get that
• 14:02
  as just the the feeling of the journal brings her back even.
• 14:06
  Yeah, I I feel more alive. You feel more alive because of
• 14:13
  the the smell of her voice. Something like that.
• 14:18
  Yeah, she says that she like totally gets it.
• 14:20
  And like she, she's saying it with like a like a sort of
• 14:22
  romance like. Her voice.
• 14:24
  She's so affirming. Well, it's like it speaks of the
• 14:27
  fact that this is a situational and circumstantial moment where
• 14:30
  you are only able to feel so close because of the tension of
• 14:34
  this problem and because of the heightened stress and the way
• 14:38
  that you reached out as you say that you feel more alive.
• 14:43
  Give me a perception or arcana check.
• 14:46
  And this is in regards to your connection with Sirfandrea.
• 14:52
  Dirty 20. With a dirty 20, you can tell
• 14:57
  that Sirfandrea's panic isn't settling.
• 15:02
  Though she appears calm, you can tell that it's for Glimmer's
• 15:08
  sake. How far away are they?
• 15:10
  They are. Where do you guys land you?
• 15:12
  You guys are welcome to land right, right next to them.
• 15:14
  Or I mean, it looks like they're kind of taking some private
• 15:16
  space, but you could land in the same clearing.
• 15:18
  Same clearing, yeah. We'll say it's 60 feet across.
• 15:21
  I think I sort of like break from my conversation with Ryan
• 15:24
  and give Zen and parable shoulders a squeeze and sort of
• 15:27
  like nod my head over in their direction and say I'm worried
• 15:30
  for her. As you do, you can give me an
• 15:33
  insight check and all three of you can do so as you all look
• 15:36
  over towards 700. Yeah, I think Parable still
• 15:39
  feels wrong. He's like just felt a little
• 15:41
  uneasy even if it's just post big fight 2424.
• 15:48
  Damn. 24 fuck just. A.
• 15:53
  Little bit of. Luck 19 + 5 Yeah, we are.
• 15:57
  With the 24 three of them, I don't I don't believe as as most
• 16:03
  human instinct things are, I don't believe I can fully
• 16:06
  describe the exact points of logic that hit boom, boom, boom,
• 16:11
  boom, boom in your brain. But I'll try and I'll I think I
• 16:13
  can get close. You see Sufandria in the way
• 16:16
  that she's looking at Glimmer. She's relieved, but Gloom isn't
• 16:21
  here. Maybe that's why she's still
• 16:22
  stressed that they're not all together as a unit.
• 16:25
  No, you can tell that she looks up and you can feel in maybe in
• 16:29
  your mind, Cassie, you can feel that she can almost sense gloom,
• 16:34
  just a little bit off with Dapple.
• 16:35
  The reason that she couldn't sense Glimmer was because she he
• 16:37
  was trapped away in a little prison.
• 16:39
  So no, it's not the family stuff.
• 16:41
  Maybe she's sensing more threats, threats that we aren't
• 16:44
  picking up on nothing in the immediate surroundings.
• 16:47
  Luckily, the astral storms and the other wish driven
• 16:51
  environmental hazards haven't come your way.
• 16:54
  They've been separated. She's not telling you something.
• 16:59
  Is it the wish energy to Fondrea?
• 17:02
  Are we out of balance? Well.
• 17:05
  What what what what could you ever mean?
• 17:07
  You are spot on with the question.
• 17:09
  Feel free to pursue that as she very badly tries to deflect.
• 17:14
  Ever said we would regret this and I didn't think it would
• 17:17
  happen this soon, but I'm wondering if with him gone, not
• 17:22
  consuming energy in the forest, if we are out of equilibrium
• 17:29
  now, if there's too much of one thing or not enough of the
• 17:34
  other. That might be one way to, I
• 17:36
  think as you're hitting her with such pointy questions, she
• 17:41
  starts speaking to you and then stops and then switches to in
• 17:45
  your mind and says, I don't want to scare my son.
• 17:50
  But yes, extremely and utterly and absolutely out of balance.
• 17:58
  I think this is what I ever wanted, or if not that creature
• 18:03
  someone wanted, This is too perfect to plan.
• 18:09
  And as she says that, I think something in your new natural
• 18:14
  innate silver blooded being parable rings in you.
• 18:20
  Maybe you're not even part of this conversation within
• 18:22
  Cassie's mind, but you get exactly what she's trying to
• 18:26
  convey. The balance of the environment
• 18:37
  is completely out of whack, but it seems have to have been done
• 18:40
  so perfectly that it feels like this was part of someone's plan.
• 18:46
  You feel this pull of your silver self that is not pulled
• 18:54
  by or touched by other environmental natures.
• 18:57
  The balance that she's referring to in the Cassie is 1, where you
• 19:02
  innately feel this like that you're kind of like at this
• 19:04
  point of impact how the witch drinker exploded and imploded,
• 19:08
  dispersed amoves around the world and wish stress has been
• 19:13
  essentially pushed out of this valley.
• 19:16
  Also it wasn't the energy of the witch drinker specifically the
• 19:19
  even with banishing their energy we just we displaced.
• 19:23
  You displaced. It's like how a hurricane or
• 19:25
  tornado needs proper conditions to form.
• 19:28
  You are sensing those conditions ready to form and Zen, I think
• 19:33
  with your mind you hear within akuma.
• 19:37
  Who's still a nightmare, by the way?
• 19:39
  Oh, I haven't, I haven't addressed that.
• 19:43
  Can I say, God, what is that? She's like trying to like, like
• 19:49
  pet the smoke around his head. And it's like, I can I can I
• 19:53
  make it stop? Can I can you go back to
• 19:55
  normally? Normally.
• 19:59
  Because the charm. It lasts for 10 minutes or until
• 20:03
  you dismiss the creatures and actions like akuma Akuma.
• 20:06
  Can I have a kuma back please? I never thought I'd say that
• 20:08
  ever in my life, but I really want a Kuma back.
• 20:10
  And Oh my God, you're a smoky little guy.
• 20:15
  Perfect. You were so big back there.
• 20:16
  OK, I'm sorry. And I think from Akuma, you feel
• 20:21
  this sense of similarly, it's from a sense of balance.
• 20:27
  And I think it's just more based on this idea that the flames
• 20:32
  must take over everything in Akuma's mind.
• 20:35
  The flames at one point in life will consume all you can feel.
• 20:40
  Part of that is the expulsion of other energies.
• 20:43
  And how if he were to take over the world, if he were to enter
• 20:48
  this plane in his full grand wonder.
• 20:51
  And I think with that insight check, give me an additional
• 20:53
  insight check on top of this. This is this has been a hold off
• 20:57
  of Akuma so. We just saw him as like hell
• 21:00
  woof. Yeah, yeah, that's an 11. 11's
• 21:06
  not quite enough, I think. Yeah.
• 21:08
  You just feel this, this innate knowledge.
• 21:11
  As Akuma says, if the flames were to take over this world, I
• 21:19
  would bring them here in this moment, this place wiped off.
• 21:24
  What do you people call it? A Movies.
• 21:26
  Yeah, movies. Feels prime for the taking.
• 21:31
  Oh no. And if I were to take off this.
• 21:34
  World. Which you won't.
• 21:35
  Which you will not, because I am here and I am fine.
• 21:40
  The cork to the bottle, that is. Akuma.
• 21:43
  Oh, Speaking of. Oh yeah, and spits up the
• 21:46
  bottle. I don't mean to assume, but I
• 21:49
  think this might be yours and Zua Thames breath.
• 21:53
  I reach towards with my silver hand and I grab the bottle and I
• 22:01
  put it in my pocket. That is a really fair response
• 22:04
  to that. I also don't process things
• 22:06
  right. Away.
• 22:08
  Thank you Zen. I I don't know what to do with
• 22:11
  this right now. I just I feel so connected to
• 22:13
  everything, but it feels so far away and there's something
• 22:15
  wrong. It feels like the eye of a storm
• 22:17
  or something cast. Can you, I, I don't.
• 22:20
  If you look up right now, would it tell us anything?
• 22:23
  Give me a perception check, OK? I, I know I made the like the
• 22:26
  bad light comment earlier and you know, there really is no
• 22:31
  real bad light, but you know, ideas I'm realizing maybe all
• 22:34
  about balance. But if Akuma were to take over
• 22:38
  right now, he said that we're like prime for the taking.
• 22:42
  And what did the stars say? What do the stars say on a Nat
• 22:47
  20? Oh my.
• 22:51
  Gosh, it's horoscope, boy. No, I caught it.
• 22:53
  Horoscope. Horoscope.
• 22:55
  Horoscoping with the. Snap 20.
• 22:59
  Back into. Those horoscopes someday soon.
• 23:01
  I haven't had much time in the last three days.
• 23:04
  I think this is It might be a horoscope moment, or this is
• 23:08
  either a horoscope moment or an utterly and absolutely
• 23:11
  impressive scientific moment. Your brain goes off akin to
• 23:15
  someone who who feels the the oven go off or their bedroom
• 23:22
  alarm go off before it does, but knows that's when it was about
• 23:26
  to. Could it be something I've read
• 23:28
  in my mother's journal that's didn't make sense before, but
• 23:31
  maybe makes sense now? I love that.
• 23:36
  I'm just, I just saw visually, I'm so sorry.
• 23:38
  I'm in my brain like, oh, we did.
• 23:39
  If that's true of learning about the displacement of energy, we
• 23:42
  have clear skies. Yeah.
• 23:45
  We have the most clear skies any of us probably have ever seen
• 23:47
  for. The moment I'm worried it's all
• 23:49
  about to go, I'm. Scared I I know, I know, I know.
• 23:52
  But this is a beautiful cool. Wow, I am look holding akuma
• 23:56
  back with everything I have. What do the stars say on a Gnat
• 24:00
  20? Balls in your.
• 24:04
  Course. Stars in your Galaxy?
• 24:08
  It does have something to do with your mother's journal.
• 24:11
  It, as all of this adventure has been, is tied up in a puzzle of
• 24:18
  threes. You recall that your mother's
• 24:22
  journal had many mythos, everything from three fishes to
• 24:27
  three Wizards to three wardens to three dots.
• 24:35
  Within your mother's journal you do find a Riddle or something of
• 24:42
  a horoscope of threes. Three shall shatter stars
• 24:50
  maligned, one to steal and one to bind.
• 24:56
  The third is lost, yet leaves its mark.
• 25:01
  A wish ignites the coming dark. When children of time and luck
• 25:07
  in twilight meet, the third shall fall, and wistful fates
• 25:12
  repeat. As Cassie processes this, I
• 25:17
  think it's probably one of the pages in her mother's journal
• 25:21
  that she could never really put sense to or make sense of.
• 25:29
  Whereas everything else she sort of dedicated her life to
• 25:33
  following the math, double checking the notes, getting the
• 25:38
  basic understanding of of space in general.
• 25:42
  And this one, now that it's clicking, now that it no longer
• 25:45
  feels like a playful Riddle or just late night ramblings
• 25:50
  through my mom's pen, it gives Cassie so much fuel to just feel
• 26:01
  very bolstered approaching whatever's next.
• 26:05
  She's riding the the wave of good luck and now more words
• 26:09
  that she had access to all along, but now that there's
• 26:12
  meaning behind them, they have such a force and she's going to
• 26:15
  use that as as fuel. I think her belief in herself
• 26:20
  synergizes with your belief in yourself, and the very recently
• 26:24
  discovered belief that she has in you and your friends to solve
• 26:28
  this problem had great stuff. I am especially reminded of the
• 26:35
  power that we 3 have. As a group too.
• 26:39
  And you look up into the sky and see that the star that stands
• 26:46
  still is absolutely not standing still in this moment.
• 26:52
  This is not something that I had planned for you to be able to
• 26:54
  see, But you like noticing a volcano about to erupt.
• 27:01
  Have a pulse on the breath of the cosmos.
• 27:05
  The star that stands still is about to split.
• 27:10
  Jazz, do you see anything? No, I think we should just enjoy
• 27:15
  this hug for a minute longer. I feel like you're lying but OK.
• 27:19
  Yeah, let's just enjoy the hug for a.
• 27:21
  Minute longer to give a squeeze. Think of the T we're going to
• 27:24
  have. It hits in this moment that with
• 27:26
  all of your insights and in the scoop moment, Saphandra is so
• 27:29
  stressed out because shit's about to go down and she, I
• 27:34
  mean, she's nervous she's and doesn't know how to tell you
• 27:36
  guys and I think has conveyed it as best she could to Cassie.
• 27:39
  Cassie, amidst the hug, says Can you guys see the star?
• 27:44
  The Star. The Star.
• 27:46
  Parable looks up. Velana moves to tackle you.
• 27:48
  Lamillion tackles him instead. No, don't look up.
• 27:51
  But no, it's it. This is such a funny image, you
• 27:55
  stupid coward. I thought we had you with horses
• 27:58
  that fly. I.
• 27:59
  Don't even notice. I fear that in removing the
• 28:06
  threat that was ever, we've made room for a bigger threat, and I
• 28:11
  think that threat lives within Solaris.
• 28:15
  Does it have to be a threat or is like the next thing?
• 28:17
  Because like if Raya was the first thing just.
• 28:19
  Take a breath in. How does it feel?
• 28:22
  Not good, not good. I'm going to be honest, does not
• 28:24
  feel bad my. Intuition is telling me to, so
• 28:28
  perhaps I don't know everything but.
• 28:30
  Wait, this the sands and I pull up brick and I do a little
• 28:36
  Rubik's thing and I zoom it out to.
• 28:39
  Incredibly important that you do as you see the cosmos reacting
• 28:45
  much more so than the ground below.
• 28:47
  You can see that similar to the dispersal of enters that you
• 28:51
  sent out here, it's almost more visible above, at least through
• 28:55
  bricks. Lens of the binding of powers
• 28:58
  for the greatest and brightest spot that orbits around brick
• 29:03
  right now is similar to how Cassie saw it about to crack.
• 29:07
  More than that, I think both of you spot one from brick, one
• 29:11
  from the sky as. How quickly can I use my tools
• 29:20
  to calculate where it's going to land?
• 29:23
  We're going to figure out that right now I need you guys to
• 29:26
  roll a very important check we're.
• 29:28
  Going to say. We're fighting a star.
• 29:35
  As all three of you look up, you see that before the star has a
• 29:39
  true chance to split, a tiny, tiny fragment of it splits off
• 29:47
  instead. As it drops from it, you,
• 29:50
  Cassie, and Parable are both able to see it, and we're going
• 29:52
  to calculate where it drops right now, as Raya says,
• 29:56
  instinctually looking up I have a new sibling as the third of
• 30:03
  the story we didn't fucking need.
• 30:05
  Yeah. So you were going to have us
• 30:07
  roll a check? Yeah, yes.
• 30:09
  So that check is going to be to determine where this falls.
• 30:12
  We're going to say one through wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
• 30:14
  because this is not necessarily a check.
• 30:16
  This is a big luck role to see whether it falls towards the
• 30:21
  Lands of Fate, the Lands of Fortune, or the Lands of Favour.
• 30:25
  And so we're going to say one through 6 Lands of fate, 7
• 30:32
  through 14 lands of favor, anything above so 15 to 20 lands
• 30:40
  of fortune. Is only one dice.
• 30:43
  One die. Shall we tower of?
• 30:45
  Doom or. Her, yeah.
• 30:47
  Tower of Doom is appropriate. Who would like to do it?
• 30:51
  Does anyone have a neutral die or a dice that they really
• 30:53
  really believe in? Also, do we have any preference
• 30:56
  of where the shit lands? Because I mean, hell, send it to
• 30:59
  chance. No, don't send it to chance.
• 31:00
  Oh no, I don't know what. I don't know what needs to
• 31:03
  happen. I'm.
• 31:05
  Confused, right? I got a.
• 31:06
  Lot of campaign geopolitics. Then why don't we just go for
• 31:11
  it? Yeah, let's go for it.
• 31:12
  I like that idea. I almost am considering to just
• 31:17
  pop open the bottle. Pop in bottle.
• 31:20
  Like this is a curveball for me. I was like, I got to keep A10 in
• 31:23
  my pocket for a while and I was like, what?
• 31:26
  What if it's this is the time, let's do the roll.
• 31:29
  But I think Parable might be simultaneously thinking of.
• 31:33
  Fidgeting with the bottle. Yeah, he's fidgeting with the
• 31:35
  bottle. For now, before the roll.
• 31:39
  Maybe not necessary, but I just sort of wanted to note like
• 31:42
  Cassie recognizes that this small portion of the star sort
• 31:47
  of escaping and hurdling towards our planet is not the separation
• 31:52
  of the star that she's anticipating is coming from the
• 31:54
  vibration. But you know that that is about
• 31:56
  to happen, right? And that the third living wish
• 31:59
  to fall is a signal for that end phase to begin.
• 32:04
  With the last shower of meteorites before the big come.
• 32:08
  Correct. Yep, that one all right.
• 32:11
  That's she's gorgeous. The fate of the campaign with an
• 32:18
  18. You see that the third living
• 32:23
  wish veers across the sky eastward towards the Lands of
• 32:29
  Fortune, largely and well unknown.
• 32:33
  These lands are often spoken of in a way of magic and mystery,
• 32:39
  as if to visit any place of the lands of Fortune is so
• 32:45
  worthwhile as to bring back a tale.
• 32:48
  Perryville zoomed in on Brick doing operating it in a way
• 32:51
  that's beyond his, like, active mind.
• 32:54
  It was more of like a subconscious engagement.
• 32:56
  And he's trying to track where this is going.
• 32:58
  And it's like, does anyone know where this is?
• 33:01
  Do you want to share anything else that we've covered in the
• 33:04
  campaign that sort of nods to the land of the land of Fortune?
• 33:08
  We haven't been able to, we haven't really talked about the
• 33:10
  line of fortune, but I will give you guys all history check to
• 33:13
  see how much you know about it right now because it is decently
• 33:17
  known of what like the general atmosphere is like over there.
• 33:22
  Yeah, because Sansa favor is count chance area and fate is
• 33:27
  where we are at, right? Yes, Lands of Fate is in the
• 33:30
  center, and towards the West is the Lands of Favor, where a
• 33:34
  parable hails from deserts in High climb, Lands of Fate in the
• 33:38
  middle, and Lands of Fortune to the east. 12.
• 33:43
  Parable had an 18. Net 20.
• 33:50
  Yeah, OK. +6 if that matters. Yeah, such a bitch.
• 33:56
  I think this is another Parse situation where you were told
• 33:58
  about this because it was like you can't fucking go, but it
• 34:01
  doesn't exist. You can't fucking go but it
• 34:04
  doesn't exist. And the lands of fortune exist.
• 34:07
  The Lands of Fortune is a place where if you were to go, you've
• 34:11
  been told that you would, one, lose your humanity and two, lose
• 34:17
  yourself like you would become. It's the strip club of the two.
• 34:21
  Well, it's. Vegas.
• 34:23
  Yeah, it's the, oh, what is the, the old, the Old Town from the
• 34:27
  Bible. That was oh, oh, it's a Sodom,
• 34:32
  Sodom, Sodom. This place is known as
• 34:35
  mechanical nature. It's actually known as entering
• 34:38
  the great machine. If you were to go to the lands
• 34:41
  of Fortune and not come back and with that, Nat 20, you've
• 34:46
  actually at one point gotten, you know, a very quiet corner
• 34:52
  Cleric Hazel moment where he showed you this picture in a
• 34:56
  book of such an insanely alien world that at that point you
• 35:02
  might have been like gone home and been like, Cleric Hazel is
• 35:04
  like wacko to think this is cool because it was.
• 35:07
  It was a world of metal, no green insight.
• 35:11
  He showed you pictures of clockwork men and interesting
• 35:16
  diagrams of a world that shapes the land itself to be what it
• 35:23
  needs to be rather than living with it.
• 35:25
  Domi, for all of its wants to, you know, worship the light,
• 35:29
  lives rather naturalistically and with the land.
• 35:33
  This felt alien to you at the time that you remembered it.
• 35:36
  But yeah, to leave the lands of fate and to enter the lands of
• 35:41
  fortune to your people was known as entering the great machine
• 35:45
  and getting lost in it. It's.
• 35:48
  The machine. It's the machine.
• 35:49
  We're going to lose ourselves. We can't go there.
• 35:50
  I mean, we have to go there for the thing.
• 35:51
  But, you know, OK, OK, This might be one of those moments
• 35:54
  where I'm like, remembering something from when I was
• 35:56
  younger and like, making it really real.
• 35:58
  And it's probably not as real as it maybe.
• 36:00
  I feel in this moment that it's real.
• 36:02
  It's called anxiety. Allegedly I.
• 36:08
  Maya. The answer is one of the month.
• 36:10
  Allegedly. Allegedly.
• 36:12
  Yeah, so lots of metal. I saw it in a textbook like
• 36:18
  once. I don't, I mean, don't hold me
• 36:19
  to this, but I do believe that there's lots of metal.
• 36:23
  I am starting to not believe that I'm going to lose my
• 36:26
  humanity in a sense of self. Also kind of intriguing.
• 36:32
  It sounds interesting. On the 18, do I have Can I add
• 36:37
  to anything with the books that I've read on the Fortini or the?
• 36:40
  Yeah, similar to I think less charged context, but you, you
• 36:47
  similarly have in your mind's eye diagnostics and diagrams of
• 36:52
  mechanics that lands of favor did actually employ, right.
• 36:55
  Like modern day plumbing is actually in lands of not modern
• 37:00
  day, like aesthetically, but Roman, yeah, Roman, Roman de
• 37:03
  Pauline, which hasn't changed all that much.
• 37:05
  There is a level of science that the lands of favor would look
• 37:11
  towards the lands of fortune and bring that for their own
• 37:16
  benefits. But similarly, there were
• 37:19
  forbidden sections that just said this went too far.
• 37:22
  Like there was a page of a clockwork man and you fuzz out.
• 37:27
  You know, that's my least favorite thing we don't sense.
• 37:31
  I I remember in the books that I read an amazing geometry of
• 37:35
  artifice and and and building and invention.
• 37:39
  I. So amazing that if you go, you
• 37:40
  won't want to leave. I mean, ever.
• 37:43
  I've never met anyone from the lens of fortune, so I can't say
• 37:46
  you're wrong. Oh no.
• 37:49
  I mean, we have to go. We're going to find out one way
• 37:50
  or another. You know what?
• 37:51
  We have to go. I I think you're right.
• 37:54
  If this is right and my eyes aren't deceiving me, looks like
• 37:57
  S. Unfortunately, they're not.
• 38:00
  I don't look up often, I have to check.
• 38:02
  It's pretty, isn't it? It's gorgeous.
• 38:05
  In that moment, the parable is going to think of Bloom, and
• 38:09
  he's going to bring Rick down to surface level, rotate it over to
• 38:14
  Dapples and zoom in. Awesome.
• 38:16
  You funnily enough don't see them there and it's it's this
• 38:21
  moment of panic, but you see them as soon as you turn towards
• 38:25
  you, they're on their way to you and you actually catch them
• 38:28
  right as they appear. Gloom has grown much it seems as
• 38:34
  Dapple is riding him here as Gloom takes to the skies and
• 38:37
  Glimmer is also of a size to be able to fly, but they kind of
• 38:42
  clumsily bumping into trees and shit and.
• 38:45
  Using their exhaust fire. That's a good boy and dodges
• 38:50
  away out of the out of a branch. And as they land within the
• 38:54
  Cairn as well, a family is reunited.
• 38:57
  And Cassie, you can feel it is one of the most beautiful songs
• 39:01
  you've ever heard. And we've grown.
• 39:05
  How long were we gone? You're almost as big.
• 39:10
  You're almost as big as the goats, Dapple explains.
• 39:13
  Did you eat the goats? No, not the goats, not the
• 39:15
  goats. But you sent a wave of something
• 39:18
  towards us and boom, got a big mouthful of a lot of with stress
• 39:22
  and it just kind of. Drew right up.
• 39:24
  It went through your domain. Barrier.
• 39:27
  It did, but it it held it, it just kind of washed over us.
• 39:32
  Are the animals OK? The animals are OK, some of them
• 39:35
  did seem startled, but I don't think it's anything to be.
• 39:38
  You all seem quite alarmed. Yeah.
• 39:41
  This might not be good for everything.
• 39:44
  I actually when's the last time we checked in with Mojo?
• 39:50
  As you are thinking of a message from Mojo, a giant wasp joins
• 39:55
  the chorus of this beautiful song and.
• 40:00
  I think at this point timely dispels out of the WASP form and
• 40:05
  you see in echo bound form Sir Morris and Coyne.
• 40:09
  So much is happening. I know.
• 40:12
  At the same. Exactly.
• 40:13
  So much is happening as they reappear.
• 40:16
  They are also there. I just want to clarify.
• 40:19
  They say, you know, together and I find this quite clever.
• 40:24
  You can call us Chorus. Oh my God, did you?
• 40:31
  Do that on purpose. I did not.
• 40:33
  I realized it today, though, and I was.
• 40:35
  I cut that because it needs to sound on purpose.
• 40:38
  Oh my God, that's. So good, I will still be saying
• 40:42
  Sir coin daddy. Just kidding.
• 40:46
  No, of course is great. They're one.
• 40:47
  They're one being they're. One being right now.
• 40:49
  Echo. Yes, single form when he is both
• 40:52
  bodies and one it is chorus and when they echo form and do the
• 40:56
  echo night thing of being two different places than they
• 40:59
  switching to coin and Morris. It's it's nice to officially
• 41:03
  meet you without other circumstances.
• 41:08
  I'm technically a different person.
• 41:10
  I think with us both combined, I think we're trying to treat it
• 41:13
  as just a new entity. So good to meet you actually,
• 41:15
  Chorus. It's nice to meet you, I'm
• 41:17
  Parable. You shake hands, silver rippling
• 41:20
  through your hand into whatever golden ripple he has.
• 41:24
  I see your hand like phase shift and don't know which one to grab
• 41:26
  for a second exactly. Exactly, but as we have that
• 41:30
  little distraction and you've thought of when is the last time
• 41:33
  we spoke with Mojo, you feel your good book burning parable.
• 41:40
  Perfect, perfect. Another thing, add it to the
• 41:42
  list. Not literally, but as you open
• 41:44
  it. I do.
• 41:45
  I have. I've reached in the satchel and
• 41:47
  I open the good book. You have a message waiting for
• 41:49
  Mojo. I flipped to the mojo page, it's
• 41:52
  like 33 pages and for some reason.
• 41:55
  Always 33 pages. And I flipped it open and team,
• 42:02
  I think we have a message. Orders.
• 42:05
  Oh my God, I've been waiting to be told to do for.
• 42:07
  Days. Just Craven structure.
• 42:10
  Fantastic. As you open up to this page, you
• 42:13
  see the words appear. Thus, stay strong.
• 42:20
  WH 3 W always like mojo, to use shorthand, of course.
• 42:26
  Stay strong. Witch Hunters of the third,
• 42:27
  Well, Willow has felt the roots of the world bracing for
• 42:33
  something great, and the wizard Fall says a great descent is
• 42:37
  soon to be upon us. May luck be on your sides.
• 42:41
  Travel may be unsafe soon. Find a domain or make your way
• 42:44
  home as quick as you can. Very much relatedly, unbeknownst
• 42:50
  to Mojo, another page of your book begins to glow brilliantly.
• 42:57
  The three dotted constellation, the third of those dots is
• 43:01
  burning brilliantly and as you can feel that almost a message
• 43:08
  from the good book that this is when the cycle starts, this is
• 43:12
  the moment. I think it burns a hole in the
• 43:18
  page, which is impossible to do with the good book.
• 43:22
  It's like kind of indestructible.
• 43:26
  As it burns a hole through the page, you have this message from
• 43:29
  Mojo and you have a celestial object in orbit above you that
• 43:33
  is about to explode. All you can feel the world
• 43:39
  holding its breath. What do you do?
• 43:44
  Take a break. Oh my God, I guess I'm going to
• 43:50
  sleep. Oh no, I think we should go back
• 43:54
  to the two wells and get everyone there.
• 43:56
  Dapples domain is clearly not strong enough if such a strong
• 43:59
  wish stress was washing through it.
• 44:01
  I feel like she's going to get wiped out out here.
• 44:04
  Yeah, I think I'm scratching the the top of the crystalline lamp
• 44:08
  or bottle that Atem is in and saying something, something's
• 44:12
  wrong. We've we've, we've done so much
• 44:14
  already. But should we go home?
• 44:20
  I think that's where the most fragile among us will be safest.
• 44:26
  At least to regroup. Yeah, we can't take everyone
• 44:28
  with us if we are to follow the star.
• 44:30
  We need to fill in mojo and then we need to get like confirmed
• 44:33
  final orders of what to do next. So Andrea looks at all of you
• 44:39
  and says this is home for us. We cannot leave.
• 44:46
  I feel it in my song. The next great wishing is upon
• 44:50
  us. Is this where we part or do we
• 44:55
  lie together? Lie together where?
• 45:02
  Have you been to the lands of Fortune?
• 45:07
  No, I know little of this world. Parable Does Brick show any
• 45:13
  domains on the lands of fortune? Parable zooms out and spins the
• 45:18
  dial and does some Rubik's moves and then zooms in.
• 45:22
  Is the one section of bricks patterning that seems overly
• 45:26
  geometric, to the point that it almost seems fake.
• 45:29
  It's. Pixelated.
• 45:30
  It's almost pixelated, but there is a very large domain that has
• 45:34
  a well of power at its center, but many many throughout the
• 45:37
  lines of fate. Like almost collection sites of
• 45:40
  energy. It just seems like an intake
• 45:42
  system even looking at it. But at the very center of the
• 45:45
  lands of Fortune, there appears to be some sort of great city or
• 45:50
  something. The odd thing is that as you see
• 45:55
  it at the very center, it suddenly starts to shift and
• 45:59
  move and not a ton. It stays generally in the center
• 46:04
  of the continent. It's.
• 46:05
  People. But there is a massive
• 46:09
  geographic, but you can you might assume, and I think with
• 46:12
  that point in question, I'll just confirm that whatever well
• 46:14
  of power holds the lands of fortune together, it is a moving
• 46:19
  geographical point. If it's not brick playing games,
• 46:23
  it looks like the place that the star is landing in the lands of
• 46:29
  Fortune. It moves the city itself.
• 46:32
  It moves like a dial. As much as I want official
• 46:37
  orders from Mojo, I don't know if we have the time to spare to
• 46:40
  go back to the two wells before we have to go to the land of
• 46:43
  fortune. And I'm just.
• 46:44
  I think we have to just send him a little message and get those
• 46:48
  orders that way. Very brave of you, Sid.
• 46:51
  Yeah, very brave of you. I think we have to make our own
• 46:53
  decision here. I think we fly with Zephandria.
• 46:57
  I don't know that I want to ask Zephandria to go.
• 47:01
  I think we we could go on the Cloud if we decide to go to the
• 47:05
  Lands of Fortune. If Sephandra wants to come.
• 47:07
  I won't say no, but I can imagine.
• 47:10
  They have a job here. Yeah, it's already in balanced.
• 47:12
  Yeah, as much as I want to be dragon riders.
• 47:16
  Yeah, OK. I mean, we have our means.
• 47:18
  I have my my broom. I need, I need to walk around
• 47:21
  for a little bit before getting back on it.
• 47:23
  But I mean they could settle crotch.
• 47:26
  They could drop us off. As you all look over to
• 47:33
  Saphandria. Saphandria does not answer, for
• 47:37
  she has her eyes still to the sky and no roles necessary.
• 47:42
  You guys are absolutely already plugged in with this.
• 47:45
  The moment is upon us as something is about to happen.
• 47:52
  Cass, I think maybe you should be the one you.
• 47:55
  Think I should have? I think you should.
• 47:56
  Have I think you're the best one to talk to Dragons.
• 47:58
  I don't want to get eaten. Hey Stephandria.
• 48:04
  Doesn't doesn't respond. I mean eyes.
• 48:07
  I try and. Reach out with my mind, what is
• 48:09
  she looking at? Up at at the star as it
• 48:11
  trembles, as it is about to split.
• 48:13
  Has Cassie been able to keep her eyes away from?
• 48:16
  No, probably not really. So maybe in a shared moment of
• 48:20
  communion with Stephandria I, I look with her and say, what do
• 48:25
  you think is next for you? Her song starts to rise and
• 48:31
  reach a climax and a culmination point.
• 48:34
  She like can't even respond because her soul is like
• 48:39
  instinctually responding to what is about to occur.
• 48:44
  Can I understand? Give me an insight or persuasion
• 48:49
  check. Dirty 20.
• 48:53
  With a dirty 20 insight insight, you're able to, at first, I feel
• 49:00
  that Sophondria is not and will not be able to readily
• 49:05
  communicate to you. So you instead turn inward with
• 49:09
  this problem and with this puzzle.
• 49:11
  But luckily it's not just you anymore, as Ryan can sense
• 49:15
  exactly what you're thinking about and steps over.
• 49:18
  I don't know if we have time for a flight.
• 49:22
  I don't know if we have time for tea.
• 49:24
  If Sophondria is so focused, I don't think any of us should
• 49:28
  even be blinking. You don't think we have time to
• 49:30
  get there? As she looks up towards the sky,
• 49:35
  she just reaches out for your hand, She says.
• 49:38
  I think we should all just take a moment to just be here as the
• 49:45
  sun fully sets. Another day, another poetic
• 49:49
  sunset as the stars fully come out and the star that stands
• 49:55
  still can be seen in all of its grandeur.
• 49:57
  Its pale light spread across the world like an ever present full
• 50:02
  moon. Looking at Brick, do we still
• 50:09
  have domain energy around us because the three of us are
• 50:12
  together? You do as strong if not stronger
• 50:15
  than dapples. Dapple like made a better move
• 50:17
  leaving her domain to come to you guys.
• 50:19
  Like Zen will take Cassie's hand and Parables hand and say, like,
• 50:25
  as long as we're together, we're we'll be, we'll be OK.
• 50:28
  We'll be safe, right? As long as we're together, we'll
• 50:33
  be. Together, everything's better in
• 50:36
  threes, I guess. Allegedly.
• 50:39
  Parable continues to look up I'll.
• 50:41
  Just keep staring at. It, I think I, yeah, I, I do the
• 50:44
  puzzle and I let Brick float to the side and I actually, I
• 50:49
  actually hold him and I turn on witness mode to remember this.
• 50:57
  As if you press a button. Is there anything else that
• 51:01
  anyone wants to do? Timely as well, as I think all
• 51:04
  of you feel fatefully drawn to this moment.
• 51:07
  Can I sketch in my mom's journal?
• 51:11
  So fucking lutely you can. And I have to ask, what do you
• 51:14
  think? You sketch just specifically
• 51:16
  like a visage of what you're seeing?
• 51:18
  Yeah. I think it like the pen hovers
• 51:20
  over the paper for a long time because this would be the first
• 51:23
  time that, I mean, this journal hasn't been touched in a long
• 51:26
  time and it would be the first time that I'm contributing to it
• 51:29
  and. You can see your father's hand
• 51:31
  trembling above the pages. Yeah.
• 51:33
  And I understand him on a deeper level probably in this moment.
• 51:37
  But then probably just sketching like a three panels of the star
• 51:44
  over the last couple of minutes, identifying the broken piece as
• 51:51
  question mark and just sort of taking in some data about the
• 51:55
  time, the angle aving it either for later to reflect on and
• 52:00
  calculate things or just to record what's happening.
• 52:03
  Absolutely. Oh, Cassie Records.
• 52:06
  Yeah, that's really nice. Rather than your mother's notes
• 52:09
  compared to yours are kind of silly.
• 52:11
  They're they're much more whimsical.
• 52:14
  But in spirit, in truth, you continue her work, but in your
• 52:20
  own voice. And through that, I think you
• 52:25
  feel something through that connection that you use just
• 52:29
  previously for divination. A spark of panic and two words.
• 52:41
  I'm sorry. And then two more.
• 52:46
  Good luck. Cassie smiles.
• 52:51
  As you smile, your eyes witness something spectacular and grand.
• 52:57
  Is there anything that Zin does? She just says Kuma Horn mode
• 53:05
  goes up as her like extra horn and they're just gazing at the
• 53:08
  stars. So sweet little Horn has little
• 53:11
  eyes. Yeah, my Smokey little guy.
• 53:14
  In the coolest way, it's like, you know, those little cat domes
• 53:18
  where you just and you just kind of see him like comfortably
• 53:23
  wanting to experience exactly what you're experiencing right
• 53:26
  over your shoulder, right? Right with you, he says.
• 53:31
  I think we changed the world. That's what I was going to say.
• 53:36
  I think we changed the world. I think we changed the world.
• 53:38
  Come across and come with sizzles.
• 53:45
  This might be stupid, but I want to do it for RPE if it's
• 53:48
  possible. Parable just has a bunch of new
• 53:51
  spells because he's now a new oath and come from a pretty
• 53:55
  magical experience, and one of those is slow.
• 53:57
  OK, cool. But I, through just the means of
• 54:00
  our group, pass slow in a special way right now to slow
• 54:04
  down the experience. I will also let anyone else add
• 54:07
  a spell or an effect conceptually in spirit to
• 54:11
  protect or bolster the sonar and valley area.
• 54:15
  I won't say this will extend so far as to the two wells or even
• 54:19
  Domi, but the unclaimed lands where there are no domains to
• 54:22
  protect them, they have. But you wish hunters.
• 54:26
  The third, well do. You have any interest in
• 54:33
  bringing Rs back to life? Fucking what?
• 54:39
  Wait, fucking what? I have reincarnate and we could
• 54:43
  bring him back as like an elf or a gnome.
• 54:47
  Fucking what? A gnome.
• 54:49
  She says find familiar. I'm sweating over here.
• 54:53
  You want an Rs familiar. No, I don't.
• 54:55
  I just like. Maybe I don't know.
• 54:59
  I don't know. I would allow you to cast.
• 55:01
  More bodies. I would allow you to cast
• 55:03
  reincarnate again in a flexible way as as to say if anyone
• 55:09
  suffers or dies in this calamity that they will be protected and
• 55:14
  reborn. Let's do that.
• 55:16
  OK, cool. This will all require our kind
• 55:18
  of checks in a second here, but any other spell effect that you
• 55:21
  want to toss on this because you guys are domain dominari, You
• 55:24
  guys are like an emanating well of power that can send out a
• 55:28
  ripple. I love the effect.
• 55:29
  I love the idea. Fire shield.
• 55:31
  Fuck yeah you do as like a protection or counterspell but I
• 55:36
  think fire shield. Awesome.
• 55:38
  We're going to say that it's kind of a mixture of both here
• 55:41
  as you, your flames don't hurts the things that that it passes
• 55:47
  over that it shouldn't, but they expand out along with it and are
• 55:52
  able to, you know, up like a counter spell nullify any sort
• 55:56
  of hostile effect that comes its way.
• 55:58
  But as this energy starts to build between you 3 give me an
• 56:01
  or kind of check or a religion check or I will also allow a
• 56:04
  nature check and let's see how this goes. 12/30/2014.
• 56:12
  It's The Dirty 20 that gives this energy the force to send
• 56:16
  out like a true ripple, but all of your spell effects take hold
• 56:19
  and push throughout the valley to a point where in a similar
• 56:24
  way that you see the color return to the world when you
• 56:26
  enter a domain, you write the world as your energies expand.
• 56:32
  Is there anything else that looks like to you guys?
• 56:35
  If the slow is going to affect more than us, I hope it just
• 56:39
  gives everyone that presence that we just achieved as a
• 56:43
  group. Like more than the environmental
• 56:46
  slow. Like everyone reachable a moment
• 56:50
  before the storm. You're reminded when ever said,
• 56:55
  when the world asks and screams for one more moment, it'll cry
• 56:59
  out for me, not you. But in this moment, you give the
• 57:03
  world just a little bit more time, or at least the parts of
• 57:06
  it that you can. Oh, I think, Parable says out
• 57:09
  loud as he casts slow. We all need a little time to
• 57:12
  cry. And now is the time for crying
• 57:18
  as you 3 together have secured quite a bit of land around you
• 57:24
  all to stay strong and secured. But in the next few moments,
• 57:32
  star breaks and the sky falls, and so too does the earth and
• 57:39
  the lands around you begin to break and shatter apart.
• 57:43
  But your effects have kept it solid enough around you.
• 57:49
  But in the sky above you see what is essentially A cosmic
• 57:55
  battle, as if you can almost feel the echo of Ever's scream
• 58:03
  and the beacon that it sent out to send out the third living
• 58:08
  wish and to start the next great wishing, you see the star that
• 58:13
  stands still. The frozen shooting star known
• 58:16
  as Solaris is still no longer. It's usual pale and ever present
• 58:23
  light splits into 3 distinct colors, crossing over the world
• 58:28
  in massive spotlights, silver, Violet and gold.
• 58:37
  For a moment, all three blaze brilliantly, and in a great
• 58:43
  flash, the Violet sliver of star appears to consume the silver
• 58:50
  and gold fragments. Sophondria roars with
• 58:54
  instinctual and guttural energy, reflecting the chaos above, and
• 59:03
  begins to beat her wings blooming glimmer to her side,
• 59:07
  also ready to rise. The sky above fills with such an
• 59:12
  amount of stars that you have never seen.
• 59:16
  There is more stars than black, as what parts of the star that
• 59:21
  stands still does escape ends into a million million Points of
• 59:28
  Light. Some drift like snowflakes,
• 59:30
  other are lines of light, but all build the atmosphere and
• 59:35
  begin to swirl around the world. Parable, with his experience
• 59:41
  with Count Chance, just has a moment with the slow defect, and
• 59:45
  he remembers the most important thing about stars and falling
• 59:48
  stars, and asks himself for a moment and I'll roll inside.
• 59:53
  Can I make a wish? This is going to be a Box of
• 59:57
  Doom Roll Do it. I'll just hand the Box of Doom
• 1:00:01
  over to you. Oh my God dude that's a six.
• 1:00:10
  Can I use my luck role or my luck?
• 1:00:11
  Role. I mean you could look at use
• 1:00:12
  your Electro. I am going to use my luck point.
• 1:00:15
  Yeah, I think Parable salutes with a sword and uses his luck
• 1:00:19
  point. That's a 19.
• 1:00:23
  You go to utter a wish or to even think of 1, and you realize
• 1:00:28
  that that would be like sparking flame next to gasoline.
• 1:00:32
  Not only that, did you realize that as you even go to try to
• 1:00:37
  say it, it's like as if you become petrified in like you the
• 1:00:43
  way you consider it, you consider wishing.
• 1:00:45
  And then you know with that 19, you get a you get a sense that
• 1:00:50
  if you were to wish in this moment, you would never wish
• 1:00:53
  again. This would be your last wish if
• 1:00:57
  it was to be a pawn the stars that you're looking at now.
• 1:01:01
  And I think with that check, I will just confirm kind of above
• 1:01:04
  table. So I don't know if your players
• 1:01:05
  ever got this fully. Will the wish typically need
• 1:01:08
  someone's dying wish to become as powerful as ever?
• 1:01:11
  Did you sense in the energies above you that to wish would be
• 1:01:17
  to die upon these things? If I mean, parable might get
• 1:01:22
  through it, but the average person would become it's a bunch
• 1:01:27
  of mini Evers. It's a bunch of mini Evers but
• 1:01:29
  without any sort of sense of direction as they all drop and
• 1:01:34
  swirl around the sky. I hold it in my gut and think of
• 1:01:40
  the wish I would have made. I'm curious what what what was
• 1:01:44
  it? I'll hold that for later in the
• 1:01:46
  campaign. We'll.
• 1:01:47
  We'll save for the after show. I love it.
• 1:01:49
  I will give everyone also a additional perception check to
• 1:01:54
  notice something that's not necessarily straight up.
• 1:01:58
  Can I get the help action from Akuma?
• 1:02:00
  Yes, absolutely. You never ask me for that and I
• 1:02:03
  love that about you. So because you don't abuse it.
• 1:02:06
  That's so fucking lovely. That's a dirty 20 sick. 23. 17.
• 1:02:14
  Fantastic. All more than enough.
• 1:02:18
  Then we'll start with yours as you look coincidentally to the
• 1:02:24
  West. Or don't be lies and as if on
• 1:02:29
  the edge of hearing. Do you feel a hymn, the beat of
• 1:02:34
  one that you know it's one that you would sing of the light in a
• 1:02:38
  way that made you feel almost too angry.
• 1:02:44
  You remember at the time there was moments where you were, as a
• 1:02:48
  youth, taught to build up a sense of hostility and hold it
• 1:02:54
  strong. Except it's new words that fill
• 1:02:56
  that beat and on the edge of here.
• 1:02:59
  And you hear and that beat continues.
• 1:03:12
  Hear the tramping of footsteps throughout the forest.
• 1:03:15
  Head your way and some seem to fly above, issuing orders to
• 1:03:21
  those below. As they say, orders such as we
• 1:03:25
  near our 'cause we near our goal, we near the objective, and
• 1:03:30
  you can't see who leads, you can't see.
• 1:03:33
  I could. Guess.
• 1:03:34
  You might guess. You.
• 1:03:36
  Might guess as the star callers have come from the West.
• 1:03:42
  Could Zen, possibly with our current Dominari status, use
• 1:03:47
  thamaturgy a mile in the other direction?
• 1:03:52
  We will see. I see.
• 1:03:56
  Them 10. Miles, the biggest that point
• 1:03:58
  finger over there ever. Come and get me blue Scream,
• 1:04:04
  damn it. But.
• 1:04:07
  Also yeehaw. Yeah.
• 1:04:09
  Like, it's like, of all the things that we needed right now,
• 1:04:13
  that was not it. Could it be fake?
• 1:04:16
  No. Oh.
• 1:04:18
  Aided no inside chip, aided no no no.
• 1:04:21
  When your DM gives you a straight answer, it was never a
• 1:04:23
  good light. Like just just Adm the player.
• 1:04:26
  You can assume that this is probably not the like this is it
• 1:04:29
  just happened. Yeah.
• 1:04:30
  So it's not like the they're full mustard force.
• 1:04:32
  It's likely the first people that can get out.
• 1:04:35
  But parable with your dirty 20 this this isn't in the sky at
• 1:04:39
  all. I think it's maybe your domain
• 1:04:41
  senses that as you reach out, imagine your tactile senses
• 1:04:46
  going out for hundreds and hundreds of yards and you feel
• 1:04:51
  the rapid and athletic footsteps of a huntress.
• 1:05:00
  Yeah, Parables taking in this moment, seeing all the stars
• 1:05:03
  fall, and he feels this weird genie connection he just came
• 1:05:06
  into, and it's connected to the force that we just displaced.
• 1:05:10
  And as I'm reaching for that and all the elementals are swirling
• 1:05:13
  in my head, I feel something that I'm terrified of, which is
• 1:05:16
  a powerful, strong woman. Unbutton those buttons.
• 1:05:23
  I feel like I said yeah. My heart beats so hard.
• 1:05:26
  My top button just goes oh. It's so powerful to try.
• 1:05:30
  No, I've. Like my brother that.
• 1:05:34
  Now that I can relate to. All parables able to to say in
• 1:05:40
  the moment is there are a lot of people headed our way.
• 1:05:44
  You do indeed feel one more entry headed towards your way,
• 1:05:48
  for the clearing that you are all on is rather high ground and
• 1:05:51
  the perfect point for a view at the sky, or perhaps pert place
• 1:05:57
  to enter the sky to try to claim the stars that fall.
• 1:06:00
  But we have one last check here. And Cassie, with that 23.
• 1:06:09
  You look towards the stars and long have you wondered whether
• 1:06:19
  or not the sages of Star Watch ever actually entered the skies
• 1:06:27
  or ever appreciated it for how often they would lie about it.
• 1:06:31
  But you see many a blue cobalt colored cloak of the Star Watch
• 1:06:39
  monks and tower hands approaching from the east as
• 1:06:42
  Vlano says. Oh no, that's my boss, Pulsar
• 1:06:48
  Zen. Not for long.
• 1:06:50
  Pulsar Zen is the name that's put at almost every publication.
• 1:06:54
  As you know, lead editor or whatever the title is.
• 1:06:59
  Pulsar Zen is like head of marketing, head of outreach, the
• 1:07:03
  sage of Star Watch. Pulsar Zen leads many a tower
• 1:07:08
  hand and they fly through the sky from the West.
• 1:07:11
  They're flying. Fuck.
• 1:07:14
  Cassie is a little bit delusionally optimistic because
• 1:07:18
  her mom told her good luck instead of See you never,
• 1:07:22
  instead of I'm sorry, wish it was different instead of I'm
• 1:07:27
  sorry, love you so much, she said.
• 1:07:28
  I'm sorry. You got this.
• 1:07:31
  Give me an insider religion check to find surety and
• 1:07:34
  certainty in that. Interesting that good luck you
• 1:07:36
  translate to you got this. I love that I did say
• 1:07:41
  delusional. Optimism you.
• 1:07:43
  Know you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right.
• 1:07:46
  That is a natural 20. 28 Yeah, it is.
• 1:07:49
  Oh my God, with a natural 20I I really wish I could hold on to
• 1:07:55
  any sort of mystery here. You can.
• 1:07:57
  That's exactly what she meant. Call it a the daughter's
• 1:08:01
  intuition. The I'm sorry was, and I'm sorry
• 1:08:04
  that you have to be the one to do this.
• 1:08:06
  I'm sorry that my daughter is the only one talented enough,
• 1:08:09
  strong enough, smart enough, and willing enough to solve the
• 1:08:13
  world's fucking problems. The one problems that I, as a
• 1:08:16
  goddess, can't even solve. I'm sorry, she says.
• 1:08:21
  And you hear those words and those two.
• 1:08:23
  You remember how I said the thing about smells?
• 1:08:26
  Yeah. It was like 4 words.
• 1:08:27
  And I remembered like her levity as a as a person.
• 1:08:31
  Yeah. When I could hear her saying oh
• 1:08:34
  I'm sorry, Good luck. What was what was Cassie's don't
• 1:08:37
  cry over spilt milk moment? Because I imagine that that's
• 1:08:41
  that's most children's lesson of levity is to not get upset over
• 1:08:45
  problems that you need not be upset about.
• 1:08:51
  Don't tinker over ticking tools. Oh, so good.
• 1:08:56
  I love that there's something in you that still feels the heart
• 1:09:00
  of the world still ticking, and your mother would not leave a
• 1:09:05
  problem to you to tinker over if it couldn't be fixed.
• 1:09:11
  One last thing, it's it's this isn't as apparent to you guys,
• 1:09:15
  but the world truly is breaking because you set this those spell
• 1:09:19
  effects throughout this domain and because you are who you are,
• 1:09:22
  you are holding this place still, but you can see with your
• 1:09:25
  mind's eye touching throughout the domain's very edges as you
• 1:09:29
  are all now essentially becoming the dominari of the valley.
• 1:09:33
  Who does Brick change? Brick changes to recognize it,
• 1:09:36
  you know, firing with a little bit more bright and color, but
• 1:09:40
  brick changes more so in the way that, similar to the sky above,
• 1:09:45
  there's more color and brightness than negative space.
• 1:09:51
  Brick is like almost overloading with the amount that the world
• 1:09:54
  is breaking up into lines of power being barely held together
• 1:09:59
  by land. This has truly become a world
• 1:10:05
  known as the Lands Apart and they are truly starting to split
• 1:10:09
  as fragments of land are separated by Astral.
• 1:10:14
  The Astral sea essentially plays a place where you would step
• 1:10:17
  into and your mind would have to be the thing to guide you.
• 1:10:21
  But here, with the power of your will, you hold together a
• 1:10:25
  semblance of reality. And above you the sky begins to
• 1:10:28
  fall. And there we will end our
• 1:10:31
  session and see next time if you are all able to hold it.
• 1:10:34
  Up all the the waves of magical energy splashing against our
• 1:10:39
  giant bubble. What that would look like if
• 1:10:42
  water was like splashing on a Dome.
• 1:10:44
  Like a Dome at the bottom of the ocean.
• 1:10:46
  Silent. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:10:49
  Can can I? I This is this is where human
• 1:10:51
  senses fail. And me as Adm can only do so
• 1:10:54
  much to describe the insanity that is around you.
• 1:10:58
  But it is whatever your mind's eye is picturing in the last
• 1:11:01
  dream that you held. And that is what's happening.
• 1:11:05
  So we stand on top of the hill, mount the dragon, stand as
• 1:11:08
  intimidating as possible to these groups coming up, and I
• 1:11:10
  released the genie. One of us.
• 1:11:14
  King Galaga, Yeah. Ryan looks to you and says I
• 1:11:18
  feel that our DM does actually have a mechanic about holding
• 1:11:22
  the amount of wish energy we have and whether we survive.
• 1:11:27
  Front. Row Oh my gosh, I'm terrified.
• 1:11:31
  Thank you so much for that. Another day, another skip.
• 1:11:33
  Long rest. Good stuff.
• 1:11:35
  I really thought we were just going to drop right into that
• 1:11:37
  big old great wishing, but we will just find out next time to
• 1:11:40
  see how many falling shooting stars might be headed your way
• 1:11:44
  too. Along with all the other
• 1:11:46
  threats. Look at me always asking, do you
• 1:11:50
  guys want to go do something? And me being like, I'm not going
• 1:11:53
  to let you do it. You want to go to the land of
• 1:11:55
  fortune? I'm not going to let you get
• 1:11:56
  there. I think yours though, but he's a
• 1:11:58
  nice little red herring for you. He'll be like bitch.
• 1:12:01
  I imagine you'll have a lot of gas after you catch all these
• 1:12:04
  little big wishes. A lot of gas, a lot of gas, a
• 1:12:09
  lot of gas, a lot of gay ass money.
• 1:12:11
  When at first when you're like, is there anything you want to
• 1:12:13
  do? Like is there any spell?
• 1:12:14
  And I was like stinking cloud. I almost did.
• 1:12:18
  Contagious or insect plague? So let's.
• 1:12:23
  Kill him before something else kills.
• 1:12:25
  Him, Oh my God, look at. Him a quick death instead of a
• 1:12:27
  scary death. It's like Independence Day where
• 1:12:30
  Jeff Goldblum gets really drunk and he's like kicking trash cans
• 1:12:33
  and talking about how like, we got to give the world a cold,
• 1:12:36
  but I can't do it. Jeff Gold do the impressive We
• 1:12:39
  gotta give him a world of the cold.
• 1:12:41
  Yes, that. Because the aliens if the
• 1:12:42
  aliens, if they give the world a cold, the aliens won't want the
• 1:12:45
  world because the world is sick. Do you think aliens would be
• 1:12:48
  afraid of a measly little cold? No Measly little measles.
• 1:12:51
  It's a metaphor my. App.
• 1:12:53
  As he's saying this stupid shit, he thinks to himself, Oh no, a
• 1:12:57
  computer virus. Yeah, you.
• 1:13:02
  Guys don't even know what the writing is.
• 1:13:05
  OK, but how does that help? Me.
• 1:13:09
  This is your Independence Day. On that note.
• 1:13:13
  Yeah, I got to say my stuff here.
• 1:13:16
