  SPEAKER_02: Welcome fellow adventurers, nerds and neurodivergents.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_02: Sit back, stay hydrated and prepare yourselves for tonight's adventure.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_02: Last we left off,
• 0:51
  secondhand souls were led away from the arena and had begun a
• 0:55
  conversation with
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_02: General Malachi and Counselor Pendragon.
• 1:00
  This conversation had some of their other concerns,
• 1:03
  which included the status of Iris.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_02: What exactly is Thessan, and why does Y'nor have extra eyeballs?
• 1:14
  Counselor Pendragon offered some mushrooms,
• 1:16
  but they were not eaten right away.
• 1:18
  Joachim provided visual context via minor allusions,
• 1:21
  which concerned the general further.
• 1:24
  They eventually made it to their lodgings without incident and
• 1:27
  were provided a guard out front.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_02: After settling in,
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_02: Yenor took Irish shopping and grabbed various types of street food,
• 1:35
  while the rest of secondhand souls grabbed other various types
• 1:39
  of street food,
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_02: alcohol,
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_02: and did some street gambling.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_02: They each participated in Game of Chance,
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_02: where Joachim and Krakka broke even,
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_02: and Deedle and Lala ended up beating the house.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_02: After this,
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_02: they walked off towards the rest of the shopping area,
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_02: running into Yenor and Iris in the process.
• 2:01
  Offline,
• 2:02
  we also had them go through some shopping just to get the
• 2:06
  shopping done rather quick.
• 2:07
  So they bought some items from a blacksmith that will be
• 2:13
  potentially revealed
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_02: depending on how the rest of tonight goes.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_02: We're going to pick up from there.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_02: You all just finish up with your new friend,
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_02: the blacksmith, Thallius Stern.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_02: You have left him with lots of gold,
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_02: lots of projects,
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_02: lots of stress,
• 2:44
  and a potential promise for specifically Krakka to bring back
• 2:50
  an individual named
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_02: Rami Burghel who owns,
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_02: who owes Thallius a lot of money.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_02: As a reminder,
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_02: Krakka,
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_02: you were informed that Mr.
• 3:03
  Virgil spends a lot of time at the bar down the street called
• 3:13
  Sun Guides Hearth Sun
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: Guides...
• 3:23

  couldn't it just wasn't just wasn't working um alright well
• 4:21
  does anybody know where
• 4:23

• 4:28
  town until we find the bar I mean there's only three more bars
• 4:31
  to go to in the area
• 4:32
  so well you were told it was the one at the end of the street
• 4:37
  alley at the end of
• 4:38
  the walkway well I will be off if y'all would like to join at
• 4:56
  least have a drink
• 5:01
  I wouldn't let Crocco go alone I wouldn't let Crocco go alone
• 5:07
  so I'll join you I
• 5:10
  gotta wait for these things to get done anyway I'll go see what
• 5:22
  the nonsense is
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_01: about
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_02: Ida looks over to you, Yenor.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, are we bringing a child into a bar?
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_02: Do you want me to bring her back home?
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not a child.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_02: No, not you.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_02: She's pointing to Iris.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_03: Can you legally drink them?
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_01: That depends on what country the laws are at.
• 6:07
  Inora just kinda squints at you a little bit I mean she does
• 6:10
  have a point I'm gonna
• 6:15
  take Iris home and make sure the animals haven't destroyed our
• 6:20
  lodgings Alright
• 6:22
  double check Poppy didn't chew on the couch She likes doing
• 6:25
  that Kaida does wave
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_02: bye to you all and she gives Inora a quick kiss and then
• 6:34
  redirects Iris' attention to something else to get her to head
• 6:38
  off in the direction
• 6:40
  that is not the bar Joaquin just kind of rolls his eyes I don't
• 6:52
  know why you'd deal
• 6:53
  with that child It's not a child It's a massive I don't know
• 7:00
  how you'd expect her
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_01: to learn anything if you don't let her go to bars
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_03: He's like eight.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I don't think it's legal to bring an eight-year-old to a bar.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_01: I mean,
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_01: I guess if you're bringing them,
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_01: but if an eight-year-old just goes,
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_01: that's how you learn the important stuff.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_03: Unfortunately, that one has guardians, so.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_01: Unfortunately.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_03: Sounds like a drag.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, it's fine.
• 7:39
  Does anyone want to discuss anything as you're walking towards
• 7:42
  this tavern?
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I'm trying to...
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_00: Trying to exactly find... Like, how am I gonna find Rami?
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_00: He really didn't give me a description of what the guy looked like So...
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: It's not like I can just go under the bar and be like Yo, Rami!
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_00: You owe my man money!
• 8:09
  I mean just going in and shouting Rami will usually probably
• 8:13
  get you the right
• 8:13
  person at least Yeah but I don't want Ask somebody Ask the
• 8:23
  barkeep I mean Barkeeps
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_00: do usually talk when you give him a little something something
• 8:36
  Exactly,
• 8:37
  at least they'll give you the right name with the coin I wonder
• 8:59
  if he gambles
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_01: Sorry, and Joaquin would just kind of look at Croc a little confused.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_01: What are we about to do here?
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_01: Because I thought we were just going to go drink.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we're apparently hustling somebody for some caps.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_01: Going to break some kneecaps.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't sign up for that.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_01: Demon chaot.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_01: Croc, we're not breaking kneecaps, okay?
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, y'all can just...
• 9:35
  watch you don't have to get involved really but I I I told the
• 9:41
  man I'd do something
• 9:42
  so I gotta go I gotta go do him a favor you're gonna go break
• 9:46
  somebody's kneecaps I
• 9:49
  mean if he if he gives me a hard time maybe that's the spirit
• 9:57
  don't listen to her
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_01: she's terrible at this he owes hey
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: It would just be easier to drag him back.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_00: He won't fight as much.
• 10:13
  Well,
• 10:13
  I mean,
• 10:13
  I either got to collect Dude Man's cash for him or bring Rami
• 10:21
  back to him.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_00: All he told me was that Rami owed him money and he's at the local bar.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_00: If I could either go get the money or bring them back to him,
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_00: then,
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_00: that would be a fair amount for my weapon I'd like him to make.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_00: But he never told me exactly how much it was.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_00: So if I just, you know, go up to him and be like,
• 10:56
  you know end up getting you end up squeezing him for the money
• 11:00
  how do I know he's
• 11:01
  giving me what he owes it's the price of two kneecaps so I
• 11:08
  planned on just bringing
• 11:10
  him back to the blacksmith and not taking the money but if I
• 11:14
  could take the money
• 11:15
  and then maybe I don't know knock him out and bring him back to
• 11:19
  him and then drop
• 11:19
  him off well then cool we got this money in I did the favor of
• 11:23
  dropping the body
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_00: off
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, whatever it takes, you know, I don't know.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_01: I'm less inclined for kidnapping.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_01: There's not a lot of violence involved.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I don't think he's going to come willing.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, when we force him to go back.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, it would be kidnapping.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_01: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 11:57
  And then there's just going to be like a big timeout symbol
• 12:02
  that Joaquin minor illusions.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_01: The goal is to get him to go with us.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_01: Basically.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_01: You point him out.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_01: I'll do the rest.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_01: You gonna charm the pants off of him?
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_01: Casanova?
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not gonna have anybody's kneecaps broken.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_01: You guys keep going to the violence.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_00: You just have to talk to people.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_00: That's all we were doing.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_00: Talking is just words.
• 12:44
  When it comes down to it,
• 12:45
  can you actually walk the walk that you can talk the talk?
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_00: Some people can't.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_00: Will it get to the point where we actually have to practice kneecaps?
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_00: I hope it doesn't, but if it does, eh.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_01: That's the spirit.
• 13:00
  Either way,
• 13:02
  we're not breaking kneecaps because I'm going to talk to them.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to do this for you, Crocker.
• 13:11

  SPEAKER_02: At this point,

  honey hunter gear okay a couple of light weapons does he look
• 28:12

• 38:00
  SPEAKER_03: Yenor's been to bars before.
• 38:03
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 38:04
  It is the general assumption that if a man is sitting on a
• 38:08
  stage behind an
• 38:10
  SPEAKER_03: instrument that he is paid to play there
• 38:15
  is that how it is in this area you've been to some bars that
• 38:20
  are heavily influenced
• 38:22
  by powerful individuals that just kind of take the stage that's
• 38:30
  boring in most bars
• 38:33
  that doesn't happen frequently in most bars the person behind
• 38:37
  the thing on the
• 38:38
  SPEAKER_02: stage knows how to play the thing on the stage
• 38:44
  SPEAKER_03: Would you play for a few gold pieces?
• 38:49
  SPEAKER_03: It's quite boring in here tonight.
• 38:52
  SPEAKER_02: Honey, I don't need a few gold pieces.
• 38:57
  SPEAKER_02: Dude, come sit up here on this piano, though.

• 40:26
  SPEAKER_03: Not trying to be loud, not trying to be quiet.
• 40:30
  SPEAKER_02: He does know how to play that thing, he just chooses not to.
• 40:34
  SPEAKER_02: This is the individual next to you, Joaquin.
• 40:38
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry, I'm so confused.
• 40:41
  SPEAKER_01: He's a musician who chooses not to play.
• 40:44
  SPEAKER_01: He just sits up there and looks pretty.
• 40:46
  SPEAKER_02: He doesn't have to sit up there to look pretty.
• 40:52
  SPEAKER_01: And Joaquin will check him out, and I'm guessing he is pretty pretty.
• 40:58
  SPEAKER_02: He's an orc.
• 41:00
  SPEAKER_02: So he, from what you can see of his head,
• 41:04
  SPEAKER_02: He has the gray skin tone of what you've seen with Goliath with tattoos,
• 41:10
  SPEAKER_02: but he's got orc-like features on his face.
• 41:17
  SPEAKER_01: Not pretty, pretty.
• 41:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 41:27
  SPEAKER_01: Is there actually going to be music here?
• 41:29
  SPEAKER_01: I would love to hear a bit of music.
• 41:31
  SPEAKER_01: Can we get him to play?
• 41:34
  SPEAKER_02: You know what?
• 41:38
  SPEAKER_02: Why don't you go up there and ask him?
• 41:40
  Does this fool owe somebody some money and he's up here
• 41:43
  refusing to make any?
• 41:47
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 41:48
  SPEAKER_01: Play us a little tune, man.
• 41:51
  SPEAKER_02: You say that, Lala, and it goes quiet.
• 41:54
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 41:55
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I figured that was going to happen.
• 41:57
  SPEAKER_01: And Joaquin is carrying daggers at Lala right now.
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_02: I told you guys we are not fighting in the bar tonight.
• 42:11
  SPEAKER_02: The bar team turns around to all of you.
• 42:15
  SPEAKER_02: We are not fighting.
• 42:22
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, you want to busk?
• 42:24
  SPEAKER_01: The street's right out there.
• 42:27
  SPEAKER_03: Nobody has tried to start a fight.
• 42:32
  SPEAKER_00: If there's no music and all there is is do is to drink,
• 42:35
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 42:35
  SPEAKER_00: after you drink,
• 42:36
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 42:37
  SPEAKER_00: sometimes the emotions get out.
• 42:38
  SPEAKER_00: So it kind of might lead to a little bit of aggression.
• 42:41
  So maybe if you played some music,
• 42:42
  you would change the tone up a little bit.
• 42:49
  SPEAKER_02: Your interventions have eased the tensions a little bit.
• 42:57
  SPEAKER_02: But you are all now being watched.
• 43:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah,
• 43:05
  Joaquin just continues to stare daggers at Lala for a happy
• 43:09
  moment longer,
• 43:10
  SPEAKER_01: and then he looks back to the dude that he was talking to.
• 43:14
  SPEAKER_01: You think if I ask him nicely, he'll play us a little ditty?
• 43:16
  SPEAKER_02: Once you hear that, you get punched in the face.
• 43:23
  SPEAKER_01: I'm willing to take that bet, and he will walk over to... You know what?
• 43:30
  SPEAKER_02: I'll bet you five gold.
• 43:35
  SPEAKER_02: that you're going to get punched in the face.
• 43:36
  SPEAKER_01: Five gold in it?
• 43:45
  SPEAKER_02: He puts five gold down on the count.
• 43:52
  SPEAKER_01: Don't touch my gold, I'll be right there.
• 44:00
  SPEAKER_02: So you know we're still up here trying to get this individual to play.
• 44:05
  SPEAKER_03: What was the last thing he said to me?
• 44:07
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, if I come sit on his piano, he'll play.
• 44:09
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 44:11
  SPEAKER_03: I said I wasn't drunk enough yet.
• 44:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 44:13
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 44:18
  SPEAKER_03: But, you know, if you ask nicely, I'm sure I could come up there.
• 44:21
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not in the business of asking nicely, a little miss.
• 44:31
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, great.
• 44:33
  SPEAKER_02: An audience.
• 44:36
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, and Joaquin just kind of walks up and sits his jacquari.
• 44:42
  SPEAKER_03: Would you like me to introduce my handsome friend?
• 44:46
  SPEAKER_02: No,
• 44:46
  I'd like you to take your handsome friend and your other
• 44:49
  friends and go back out
• 44:51
  SPEAKER_02: the door where you came in.
• 44:54
  SPEAKER_01: You want us to leave?
• 44:55
  SPEAKER_01: Leave without hearing your wonderful music?
• 44:58
  SPEAKER_01: They were talking about how good you are up here.
• 45:03
  SPEAKER_03: Could you play us one song?
• 45:05
  I'm pretty sure my associate at the bar was telling you to
• 45:09
  leave me alone.
• 45:13
  SPEAKER_01: He suggested I come up here and just talk to you for a little bit.
• 45:17
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe try and convince you to play us a little bit.
• 45:21
  SPEAKER_01: Come on.
• 45:22
  SPEAKER_01: It'd be nice.
• 45:23
  SPEAKER_01: It'd be fun.
• 45:23
  SPEAKER_01: It'll really make everybody feel more comfortable around you.
• 45:27
  SPEAKER_01: That's all you gotta do.
• 45:30
  SPEAKER_03: Can we both try to persuade him?
• 45:34
  You could both roll Persuasion or one of you with advantage It
• 45:38
  seems to have So if
• 45:40
  she rolls Would she get some kind of bonus Because he does seem
• 45:44
  to be hitting on
• 45:44
  her a little bit I also already have Persuasion She already has
• 45:49
  advantage on
• 45:50
  Persuasion They do double Persuasion now You're not getting
• 45:53
  double advantage Give
• 45:54
  me super advantage First super advantage of the campaign I
• 45:58
  don't even know how to
• 45:59
  SPEAKER_02: use super advantage So it's not happening

  SPEAKER_03: I rolled seven dice.
• 46:05
  SPEAKER_03: We combine all of them.

  SPEAKER_02: It's not the one you're looking for,
• 56:45
  SPEAKER_02: then someone who could lead you to the one you're looking for.

• 56:52
  SPEAKER_03: to not have a fight in here, right?
• 56:56

• 56:57
  But then kind of conceded when he stood up and told everyone
• 57:02
  else to leave.
• 57:08
  SPEAKER_03: And what was it he said?
• 57:11
  SPEAKER_02: Do you want you to leave?
• 57:14
  SPEAKER_03: No, what was the last thing he actually spoke out loud?
• 57:21

  SPEAKER_02: What's the saving throw?
• 1:12:14
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, 19.
• 1:12:16
  SPEAKER_02: He fails.
• 1:12:20
  Uh,
• 1:12:20
  I would then kind of look at Yanor,
• 1:12:22
  uh,
• 1:12:23
  and Minor Illusion,
• 1:12:24
  the words,
• 1:12:24
  cover me.
• 1:12:27
  SPEAKER_02: So you are concentrating.

  And then I will go and use the rope in my bag to try and just
• 1:12:38
  tie his hands Well,
• 1:12:42
  SPEAKER_03: you're gonna have to hold on that When he says cover me,
• 1:12:47
  SPEAKER_03: Yenora's gonna pop out Dawnbringer and just the blade out We're in combat
• 1:13:01
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to have my hand on my weapon.
• 1:13:04
  SPEAKER_00: I've been watching the door and kind of listening to all conversations.
• 1:13:18
  SPEAKER_02: I need you five to roll initiative then.
• 1:13:42
  SPEAKER_03: I added a hero point, so I'm at 21.
• 1:13:45
  SPEAKER_01: I'd also like to add a hero point.
• 1:13:48
  SPEAKER_01: That's fine.
• 1:13:53
  SPEAKER_01: But also I don't.
• 1:13:58
  SPEAKER_01: Hero points are d6s, right?
• 1:14:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.

  SPEAKER_01: It's doing the derpy thing again.
• 1:14:23
  SPEAKER_01: Oof.

  SPEAKER_02: Correct.
• 1:14:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 1:14:55
  SPEAKER_02: So, top of the round is Rami.
• 1:15:01
  SPEAKER_02: Let me look at Hold Person.
• 1:15:02
  SPEAKER_02: I don't believe he repeats the saving throw.
• 1:15:06
  SPEAKER_02: But I could be wrong.
• 1:15:07
  SPEAKER_02: I think he does, actually.
• 1:15:08
  SPEAKER_02: Hold on.
• 1:15:09
  SPEAKER_02: Is he on Hold Person?
• 1:15:11

• 1:15:33
  would be a 20 Damn
• 1:15:35
  SPEAKER_01: Okay
• 1:15:41
  But he is not paralyzed,
• 1:15:42
  he breaks,
• 1:15:44
  you are no longer concentrating on that.
• 1:15:46
  SPEAKER_02: But he lost his first turn.
• 1:15:48
  SPEAKER_02: And it's Yenor's turn now.
• 1:16:11
  SPEAKER_02: Team, your mic's picking up stuff in the background.

  SPEAKER_03: 25 to hit 13.
• 1:16:56
  SPEAKER_03: And another six.

  SPEAKER_03: And then he has to make a strength save, which you probably will.
• 1:17:05
  SPEAKER_03: He's huge, but.
• 1:17:17
  SPEAKER_02: That's a 14,
• 1:17:18

• 1:17:20
  so he gets knocked back 10 feet and prone Well he tripped over
• 1:17:24
  the piano And he is
• 1:17:27
  SPEAKER_02: Alright,
• 1:17:35

• 1:18:30
  SPEAKER_00: and then take his head and smash it into the bar as my second attack.

  that was a natural
• 1:24:31
  SPEAKER_02: one but it doesn't matter because that's an 8 so he fails

  SPEAKER_02: Digs in here.
• 1:27:32
  SPEAKER_02: You take 16 points of

  SPEAKER_02: Who are you attacking?
• 1:28:27
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know how to show you.
• 1:28:29
  SPEAKER_01: The one that's in front of the bar, but near.
• 1:28:32
  SPEAKER_02: That's the one that's unconscious currently.
• 1:28:34
  SPEAKER_02: He's asleep.
• 1:28:35
  SPEAKER_01: Oh.
• 1:28:38
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know if that's better or worse.
• 1:28:42
  SPEAKER_01: Then maybe what I will do is tie him up.
• 1:28:45
  SPEAKER_01: Just in case.
• 1:28:46
  SPEAKER_02: Do you want to tie him up?
• 1:28:49
  SPEAKER_02: Do you have rope?
• 1:28:50
  SPEAKER_01: Of course I have rope.
• 1:28:51
  SPEAKER_01: It's in the backpack.
• 1:28:55
  SPEAKER_02: Go ahead and make... Sleight of hand.
• 1:29:01
  SPEAKER_02: Ooh, uh...
• 1:29:04
  SPEAKER_02: I was gonna tell you athletics.
• 1:29:06
  SPEAKER_02: Cause you gotta kinda move around.
• 1:29:08
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, it's up to you.
• 1:29:12
  SPEAKER_02: Roll both.
• 1:29:12
  SPEAKER_02: Roll an athletics and roll a sleight of hand and we'll see what happens.
• 1:29:22
  SPEAKER_01: The dice are not kind to me tonight.
• 1:29:24
  SPEAKER_01: I seem to be getting nothing but fives.
• 1:29:27
  SPEAKER_01: Those are both fives.
• 1:29:28
  SPEAKER_01: So it's a 13 and a
• 1:29:32
  It takes you a little bit It takes you a little bit I'm gonna
• 1:29:36
  say it takes the rest
• 1:29:37
  of your turn To move him and tie him up Can I count as like
• 1:29:44
  Disarming him while I'm
• 1:29:45
  tying So I'm like tossing any weapons aside Cool You can't lift
• 1:29:50
  up the rifle though
• 1:29:52
  SPEAKER_01: I'll kick it You stub your toe God damn it
• 1:29:58
  He's not holding the rifle anymore because he was he was
• 1:30:01
  holding it when he got put to sleep.
• 1:30:02
  SPEAKER_02: So it kind of just fell on the bar.
• 1:30:05
  SPEAKER_01: Well, if he wakes back up, he's not a threat.
• 1:30:10
  SPEAKER_02: Let's go.
• 1:30:10
  SPEAKER_02: How did you tie him?
• 1:30:13
  With the the the classic style with arms behind the back and
• 1:30:17
  then wrists tied to
• 1:30:20
  SPEAKER_01: feet bent backwards.
• 1:30:22
  SPEAKER_01: Hogtied, I guess is probably just cool.
• 1:30:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:30:32
  and then it's this guy's turn this guy pulls out from
• 1:30:54
  underneath his cloak a Warhammer
• 1:31:01
  SPEAKER_02: and he goes to make a swing.
• 1:31:06
  SPEAKER_02: You, Wakim, with disadvantage because of your cloak.
• 1:31:11
  SPEAKER_02: That would be a 15, which misses.
• 1:31:20
  SPEAKER_02: And second strike is a 16, which misses.
• 1:31:35
  So you just kind of do some fancy dance moves as he's swinging
• 1:31:39
  this war hammer at your head?
• 1:31:43
  I still haven't put my daiquiri down because I'm technically
• 1:31:45
  not I don't have a
• 1:31:46
  sword in my hand I haven't materialized a weapon I'm just
• 1:31:50
  swinging spells right now
• 1:31:51
  so yeah he kind of does a little nimbly bimbly stuff and then
• 1:31:55
  sits his daiquiri
• 1:31:56
  SPEAKER_01: This is really unnecessary we can just talk about this still still
• 1:32:24
  SPEAKER_02: Our keep is going to make a... Click Archive
• 1:32:53
  As you all look back at the barkeep or as you all are doing
• 1:32:57
  this and out of the
• 1:32:58
  corner eyes you see the barkeep I told you no fighting in this
• 1:33:04
  bar and she pulls
• 1:33:07
  out a staff from underneath the bar and slams it down and the
• 1:33:12
  gem at the top glows
• 1:33:19
  SPEAKER_01: You're sending mixed messages you cleared everyone out
• 1:33:22
  SPEAKER_02: You're, uh, no, she didn't clear everyone out.
• 1:33:25
  SPEAKER_02: Rami did.
• 1:33:30

  at,
• 1:35:25
  uh,
• 1:35:25
  you know,
• 1:35:26
  and kind of gives a shrug.

  SPEAKER_01: And he continues to sip his daiquiri.
• 1:35:50
  SPEAKER_03: Can we move?
• 1:35:52
  SPEAKER_02: You can move, but you stay stationary.

• 1:36:37
  SPEAKER_02: Rami is still under the spell hold person.
• 1:36:43
  It's not like whatever this is canceled out that spell that

  SPEAKER_01: Okay, but I can't do anything else.
• 1:36:55
  SPEAKER_01: For a moment.
• 1:37:04
  SPEAKER_02: You all kind of just fall back into the tavern.
• 1:37:18
  You see the barkeep is very out of breath and kind of panting
• 1:37:22
  and leaned over the counter.
• 1:37:26
  SPEAKER_03: Are we back in combat yet?
• 1:37:27
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 1:37:28
  SPEAKER_03: Yes?

  SPEAKER_02: He's just kind of watching.
• 1:37:53
  SPEAKER_02: at the top of this next round.
• 1:37:58
  SPEAKER_02: Since we're not going to be able to finish this tonight,
• 1:38:00
  SPEAKER_02: we're going to call it a little early,
• 1:38:03
  and we're going to finish this next time to see how you guys
• 1:38:08
  end up playing this
• 1:38:09
  SPEAKER_02: out.
• 1:38:11
  SPEAKER_01: I tried to talk.
• 1:38:13
  I tried to talk,
• 1:38:14
  tried to do all the non-violent stuff,
• 1:38:19
  and you chose violence.
• 1:38:21
  SPEAKER_01: We're going to lie.
• 1:38:24
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry?
• 1:38:25
  SPEAKER_01: I said we have to have a plan if we're gonna lie.
• 1:38:27
  SPEAKER_01: We didn't have a plan.
• 1:38:29
  SPEAKER_01: I wasn't planning to lie.
• 1:38:31
  SPEAKER_01: We did though.
• 1:38:36
  SPEAKER_01: He was not going to fall for that.
• 1:38:39
  SPEAKER_01: Nope.
• 1:38:40
  SPEAKER_01: Which is why now we're trying to abduct him.
• 1:38:44
  SPEAKER_01: As well he deserves, frankly.
• 1:38:48
  If somebody can get up there and restrain him as opposed to
• 1:38:51
  trying to kill him
• 1:38:53
  SPEAKER_01: We might be able to get out of here.
• 1:38:57
  SPEAKER_01: That's not my way to do that.
• 1:39:00
  SPEAKER_00: Whatever we wanted to kill him.
• 1:39:02
  SPEAKER_00: Break his kneecaps.
• 1:39:04
  SPEAKER_01: No, no.

  Ynora's already started smacking him over the head with stuff,
• 1:39:10
  so...
• 1:39:11
  SPEAKER_03: Listen, we put the fear of God into him.
• 1:39:15
  SPEAKER_01: No, he's not afraid.
• 1:39:16
  SPEAKER_03: He will be when I'm done.
• 1:39:19
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, okay.
• 1:39:22
  well I mean a strong enough headshot would literally not knock
• 1:39:30
  him out listen it's
• 1:39:35
  a balance true what kind of balance where's the balance well on
• 1:39:43
  one end you have a
• 1:39:44
  concussion and on the other hand there is meeting God so you
• 1:39:50
  gotta find the in
• 1:39:51
  SPEAKER_03: between
• 1:39:53
  SPEAKER_01: I am literally doing everything I can not to harm this person.
• 1:39:58
  SPEAKER_01: I just can't figure out why.
• 1:40:01
  SPEAKER_01: I could try to charm him.
• 1:40:02
  SPEAKER_01: He's a mutant to charms.
• 1:40:08
  SPEAKER_01: Oh.
• 1:40:12
  SPEAKER_01: I would not waste the magics.
• 1:40:13

• 1:40:21
  SPEAKER_02: Secondhand Sokolz decides to take in their target.
• 1:40:26

• 1:40:28
  SPEAKER_02: I guess we'll have to find out.
