The Awakening

The acrid smoke of adventure still clung to their clothes as Ipid’s eyes fluttered open beneath the gray morning sky. The Dragonborn paladin found himself sprawled on the hard earth outside Linlithgow’s walls, his mind clawing back from the dark abyss that had claimed him. The metallic taste of blood lingered on his tongue, and his cursed blade hummed with restless energy at his side.

“What happened?” His voice cracked like leather long dried in the sun.

His companions gathered around—battle-worn and weary, but alive. Ash’s massive frame cast a shadow over him, while Starling’s gentle hands checked for injuries. Aldric stood apart, his wizard’s robes singed and torn, eyes distant with the weight of recent horrors. And there, hovering just beyond the edge of reality, was her.

The celestial being they’d encountered possessed an otherworldly beauty that made mortal eyes water to look upon directly. Gray eyes like storm clouds held depths no human soul could fathom, while midnight-black wings rustled with the whisper of eternity. Her feet never quite touched the ground, and her shadow fell at impossible angles, as if even light itself bent to acknowledge her alien nature.

“I am… Volcara,” she said, the name rolling off her tongue like a newly forged blade testing its edge. Her smile revealed teeth just a fraction too sharp, and when she spoke of being ‘peckish,’ her eyes flashed crimson as freshly spilled blood.

The Foundry’s Reward

The industrial heart of Linlithgow beat with the rhythm of hammers on anvils as they made their way through streets that tasted of metal and ambition. Raymond waited for them in the foundry district—a man more ink and piercing than flesh, his body a canvas of needle-worked art that spoke of years spent in the city’s brutal underbelly.

Volcara carried their grisly trophy without flinching: the severed head of the mine creature, its ten eyes now clouded and lifeless, dark ichor still seeping from the ragged neck. The thing’s tentacle-like appendages hung limp as old rope, and the smell of brine and corruption followed in their wake.

“Bloody hell,” Raymond whistled through teeth stained black with coal dust. “You actually killed the bastard.” His scarred hands counted out gold pieces with practiced efficiency—two thousand in total, payment that clinked like tiny bells of freedom. “The miners can sleep sound now, thanks to you lot.”

The Broken Sanctuary

But their safe haven had become a trap.

The Broken Wand tavern lay in ruins, its door hanging like a broken jaw, smoke pouring from shattered windows. Inside, the very floorboards had been torn up like scabs from an old wound, revealing the dark earth beneath. Ten Linlithgow guards stood amid the wreckage like carrion birds, their padded gambesons dark with soot and suspicion.

Sorcha and her fellow performers knelt in iron shackles at the room’s heart, their faces defiant despite the chains that bound them. The lead guard, a man with eyes like chips of flint, held up vials of poison that caught the smoky light like liquid emeralds.

“Assassination guild,” he spat, the words falling like hammer blows. “Caught red-handed with enough poison to kill half the nobility.”

When Scorn dropped his magical disguise, revealing his true tiefling heritage with horns that curved like scimitars and eyes that burned with infernal fire, the air itself seemed to crackle with tension. The guards’ hands moved to their weapons with the fluid motion of predators scenting blood.

Into the Depths

The prison beneath Linlithgow’s streets reeked of despair and damp stone. Ten feet below the world of light and air, iron doors shrieked like tortured souls, and shadows pooled thick as honey in every corner. Their cell was a monument to misery—cold stone walls that wept moisture, and iron bars that had tasted the desperation of countless prisoners.

When the wizard appeared—the same pompous fool whose tower they’d plundered—his eyes glittered with malicious satisfaction. Magic crackled from his fingertips as he sealed their fate with arcane locks that hummed with deadly energy.

“Tomorrow at dawn,” he purred, savoring each word like fine wine. “For the thieves. Tonight at glooming hour for the assassins. Justice will be swift.”

But Sorcha’s whispered revelations changed everything. Through the magical link of Scorn’s message spell, her true purpose unfurled like a map to hidden treasure. They weren’t merely performers—they were information brokers, seekers of a lost heir whose bloodline could challenge the very foundations of power in Alsdair’s Lost.

The Thunder of Escape

Scorn’s charm magic wove through the bored guard’s mind like silk through fingers, and soon the man moved with the puppet-like compliance of the enchanted. Equipment retrieved, plans laid, and when Sorcha’s lullaby drifted through the air like a gentle poison, the guard’s eyes fluttered closed in magical slumber.

Lock picks danced in Scorn’s nimble fingers, each tumbler falling with the soft click of destiny shifting. Then came the thunderous fury of his magic—Thunderstep that split the air like the gods’ own war cry. Guards died in that celestial roar, their bodies flung like broken dolls against stone walls painted red with their life’s essence.

Ash moved through the chaos like a force of nature, his massive frame shouldering aside doors and obstacles. They burst into the night air gasping like drowning men finding shore, the taste of freedom sweet on their tongues despite the copper tang of blood that followed in their wake.

Reunion in Shadow

Through streets alive with the hunt, where every shadow might hide a blade and every face could mask an enemy, they found each other again. Aldric’s Locate Creature spell pulled them together like iron filings to a lodestone, and in a narrow alley choked with crates and the smell of rotting vegetables, the scattered pieces of their fellowship reformed.

The safe house door opened to reveal a man whose face had forgotten how to smile, his eyes holding depths that spoke of sorrows beyond counting. Here, in rooms thick with conspiracy and whispered plans, they learned the full scope of their task.

A sixteen-year-old boy—heir to Alsdair himself—held prisoner by blood turned traitor. A rescue that would shake the very foundations of power, if they could but reach him before the flames of war consumed everything in their path.

Fire and Madness

The manor in Misty Field burned like a funeral pyre against the night sky, flames dancing through windows like imprisoned demons. Smoke poured from every opening, thick and choking, carrying the acrid stench of a plan gone perfectly, terribly right.

They found him on the upper floor—a young man balanced on the knife’s edge between childhood and destiny, standing at a window with death yawning beneath him. His aunt held a dagger that caught the firelight like a fragment of hell itself, her eyes wide with the madness of prophecy.

“The seed of chaos!” she shrieked, her voice cracking like breaking glass. “The beginning of the end! I’ve seen it in dreams that burn behind my eyes!”

When Ipid charged, his boots thundering across the creaking floorboards, both grappler and victim proved stronger than mortal flesh should allow. They strained against each other like titans, locked in a contest of will and sinew while fire licked hungrily at the walls around them.

Scorn’s darkness spell swallowed the room in supernatural shadow, thick as velvet and twice as concealing. In that magical night, Starling’s sleep spell whispered both combatants into unconsciousness, and they spirited away their prize while leaving behind a perfect deception.

The Road of Blood and Steel

Varka waited among the wounded at the city’s edge—Ipid’s former general, now broken by war. Her missing arm told a story of heroism and loss written in scar tissue and phantom pain. The grizzled Dragonborn warrior spoke of giants in the mountains, battles that turned snow crimson, and family scattered like leaves before the storm.

“Your mother reached the Crossroads,” she growled through teeth clenched against old pain. “Your brother Dulcin’s in Jedburgh. Stay alive long enough to see them again, you stubborn fool.”

The wagon they found waited like a gift from the gods—supplies enough for a long journey, horses strong and ready for hard travel. But their path to Alsdair’s Lost would not be peaceful.

The figure in red robes materialized from mist and malice, its voice a chorus of serpents demanding surrender of their precious cargo. When it vanished, it left behind monsters from nightmare itself—two chimeras with wings like storm clouds and heads that breathed destruction.

The battle was brief but brutal. Scorn’s magic slowed the beasts to mortal speed, while his companions carved into them with spell and steel. Ipid’s cursed blade sang with divine fury as it harvested souls, each life taken feeding its hungry enchantment. When the smoke cleared and the monsters lay broken, their young charge awakened to a world forever changed.

“Who are you?” the boy whispered, fear and confusion warring in his voice as he stared at his bloodied rescuers. “What do you want with me?”

The road to Alsdair’s Lost stretched ahead like a promise and a threat, while behind them, the smoke of Linlithgow faded into memory. Their greatest adventure was only beginning.


Thus ends the nineteenth tale of their fellowship—with blood on their hands, gold in their purses, and destiny riding heavy on their shoulders. The heir to a lich’s throne sits trembling in their wagon, while unknown enemies stalk their trail. The road ahead promises danger, discovery, and the echoes of choices that will reshape the very foundations of power itself.

WEBVTT

00:00:00.480 –> 00:00:06.960
So, to start, where things picked up was Scorn was booking it across the city.

00:00:07.280 –> 00:00:14.560
He eventually followed the Celestial carrying Ash all the way to this big tower on a foundry.

00:00:14.880 –> 00:00:16.320
And so, there.

00:00:18.240 –> 00:00:22.800
Everything kind of went smoothly for the most part.

00:00:23.679 –> 00:00:26.160
Everyone met up outside this foundry.

00:00:26.480 –> 00:00:31.440
Using magic to communicate, they organized and made their way across the city.

00:00:31.760 –> 00:00:40.800
And Scorn attempted to try and distract them and almost got beat in the street by a bunch of thugs.

00:00:41.119 –> 00:00:45.039
There was some invisibility shenanigans, and they managed to get away from that.

00:00:45.359 –> 00:00:57.200
And then Scorn magically coerced the supervisor of the foundry to get inside so they can go rescue Ash, who’s up the top of the tower.

00:00:57.520 –> 00:01:15.840
Now, in this foundry, while they were outside watching, they found one of Aldric’s old contacts by the name of Raymond, a man with more piercings than fingers and toes and tattoos on most of his skin.

00:01:16.159 –> 00:01:21.200
He provided some good advice about dealing with the celestial inside the foundry.

00:01:21.519 –> 00:01:25.439
And they made it up to the top and they found Ash unconscious.

00:01:25.760 –> 00:01:29.359
They negotiated with the Celestial and she agreed to join them.

00:01:29.680 –> 00:01:32.079
They learned she had no name.

00:01:32.400 –> 00:01:43.680
Going back to the broken wand, they found out that Scorn and Ash had been magically identified, and the guards in the city were looking for them.

00:01:44.000 –> 00:01:50.159
However, Sorcha was able to assist with body doubles.

00:01:50.480 –> 00:01:55.519
These doubles went running throughout the city, enabling their escape.

00:01:55.840 –> 00:02:03.600
While this was being planned, Aldric and Starling visited Morrigan, a massive canine creature.

00:02:03.920 –> 00:02:11.120
Standing over 18 feet tall, he loomed in his workshop in an open-air pavilion.

00:02:11.439 –> 00:02:19.200
It was there that he crafted items from the quartz spears given to you by the Lich in the Mountains.

00:02:19.680 –> 00:02:33.120
There they had learned from Raymond and from Morrigan that there was an ancient creature eating miners traveling to the mountain mine.

00:02:33.439 –> 00:02:39.120
Damon went deep inside battered battled cultists.

00:02:39.439 –> 00:02:45.360
And then after the battle, Starling heard the luring voice of an old friend.

00:02:45.680 –> 00:02:54.560
She followed it into the water and was horrifically drowned by a massive tentacled avatar of an ancient god.

00:02:54.879 –> 00:03:08.080
Celestial followed with you, aiding in battle, rescuing Starling from underneath the water, or at least retrieving her dead body, bringing her back to the shore.

00:03:08.240 –> 00:03:09.599
It revived her.

00:03:09.920 –> 00:03:12.960
And they, from there, left the cave.

00:03:13.280 –> 00:03:15.200
And that is where we are at now.

00:03:15.840 –> 00:03:19.120
And now there’s something I would like to go over with you guys.

00:03:19.759 –> 00:03:20.319
Yes.

00:03:20.640 –> 00:03:24.159
So characters grow and change.

00:03:25.200 –> 00:03:32.879
And I’m going to be honest, I don’t think leveling up should be the only ways your characters change.

00:03:33.200 –> 00:03:42.560
I would like you all to pick a goal that you’re working towards that you’re going to be making progress towards to improve your character over the next few sessions.

00:03:44.719 –> 00:03:57.520
This could be mastering a new ability, writing a spell, learning a way to commune with a god, but something tied deeply to your character and what they want.

00:04:00.480 –> 00:04:09.760
So for the most part, is this like meta-ish or is this like maybe something requires like our character sheet skills, attributes, what have you?

00:04:10.080 –> 00:04:14.640
So this is going to be something more character-driven than meta.

00:04:14.879 –> 00:04:15.120
Gotcha.

00:04:15.360 –> 00:04:24.639
Where it’s more like, for example, Aldric learning to master his spells and learning a new form of divination.

00:04:24.959 –> 00:04:37.360
Or it could be Starling learning to commune with her god to achieve a new and twisted form of magic, utilizing her experiences being dragged under the water.

00:04:38.240 –> 00:04:46.400
Or it could be Ipid building his connection with his god and acquiring something from it.

00:04:46.720 –> 00:04:48.959
Did I kill anyone last session?

00:04:49.280 –> 00:04:49.600
No.

00:04:50.160 –> 00:04:50.560
Okay, good.

00:04:50.959 –> 00:04:54.240
You came close, but you weren’t going to finish anyone off.

00:04:54.560 –> 00:04:59.840
Because I almost forgot that I have like a sword that you so nicely given.

00:05:01.079 –> 00:05:02.759
Enemy or a cur.

00:05:03.000 –> 00:05:04.199
I don’t know what happened.

00:05:04.519 –> 00:05:07.959
Like, the I was like cursed or something.

00:05:08.279 –> 00:05:08.439
Yeah.

00:05:09.399 –> 00:05:13.160
A cursed blessing, you were marked by a god.

00:05:13.480 –> 00:05:13.720
Right.

00:05:14.040 –> 00:05:17.959
Because I you said something about every time I did a smite.

00:05:19.160 –> 00:05:21.160
You could just run me by that again.

00:05:21.800 –> 00:05:25.639
It’s specifically if you kill someone with a smite.

00:05:25.959 –> 00:05:26.120
Okay.

00:05:26.360 –> 00:05:31.319
You regain that spell slot, and your sword collects their soul.

00:05:31.560 –> 00:05:32.519
Oh, right, lovely.

00:05:32.600 –> 00:05:32.839
Okay.

00:05:33.079 –> 00:05:33.879
Hi, Scorn.

00:05:35.319 –> 00:05:35.879
Hey.

00:05:37.560 –> 00:05:40.360
Sorry, I’m a little late, so I’m kind of out of it today.

00:05:40.920 –> 00:05:41.399
That’s fine.

00:05:42.199 –> 00:05:46.519
I actually fell asleep this afternoon and just woke up.

00:05:47.800 –> 00:05:49.959
We all were sleeping right before this.

00:05:50.120 –> 00:05:50.759
It’s okay.

00:05:53.959 –> 00:05:54.600
7 p.m.

00:05:54.840 –> 00:05:55.720
I shouldn’t be asleep.

00:05:55.879 –> 00:05:57.319
It’s crazy.

00:05:57.639 –> 00:05:59.879
I had a rough week at work.

00:06:00.120 –> 00:06:00.360
Yeah.

00:06:01.399 –> 00:06:07.879
If we come up with a group name for ourselves, it’s going to have to involve the word sleeping or something related to sleeping.

00:06:08.120 –> 00:06:08.519
Do you think?

00:06:11.000 –> 00:06:11.879
Well, how many are we?

00:06:12.040 –> 00:06:12.920
We’re five, right?

00:06:13.159 –> 00:06:16.840
So the five fanatic sleepers.

00:06:17.159 –> 00:06:19.399
But nothing because of the temples?

00:06:20.920 –> 00:06:21.240
Sure.

00:06:21.560 –> 00:06:23.480
Or we’re fans of sleeping.

00:06:24.120 –> 00:06:24.360
Yeah.

00:06:25.079 –> 00:06:26.120
We can workshop it.

00:06:29.639 –> 00:06:30.920
That’s Audrey’s way of telling me.

00:06:31.079 –> 00:06:31.720
Oh, shit.

00:06:31.879 –> 00:06:33.319
Don’t ever think of the name of that.

00:06:36.519 –> 00:06:38.360
I like the way you went with the five.

00:06:39.480 –> 00:06:40.360
That’s a good part.

00:06:40.759 –> 00:06:43.240
Critical role already had a group with a number in it.

00:06:43.560 –> 00:06:44.920
Let’s not copy it.

00:06:45.879 –> 00:06:46.600
Oh, that’s true.

00:06:47.800 –> 00:06:48.600
Let’s see.

00:06:49.000 –> 00:06:50.920
Gotta get everything started up here.

00:06:51.560 –> 00:06:58.439
So this new goal we’re working towards will be tied with the mechanics of DD, right?

00:06:58.759 –> 00:06:59.240
Yes.

00:06:59.560 –> 00:06:59.879
Right.

00:07:00.120 –> 00:07:00.439
Okay.

00:07:00.759 –> 00:07:09.960
So you’ll decide what the goal is, and then I will interpret that mechanically into a feat that you’re going to achieve when you next level up.

00:07:10.279 –> 00:07:11.080
Vigamino.

00:07:11.800 –> 00:07:19.000
So you’ll have your normal leveling bonuses, but you’ll have this additional feat, this ability that you acquire.

00:07:19.319 –> 00:07:23.000
Do you want this goal before next session, or do you want this goal like no?

00:07:24.279 –> 00:07:27.000
Anytime between now and the next level up is fine.

00:07:27.080 –> 00:07:30.439
That’s probably about two or three sessions out.

00:07:30.759 –> 00:07:31.240
Beautiful.

00:07:31.639 –> 00:07:32.600
I think I missed something.

00:07:32.759 –> 00:07:33.480
What kind of goal?

00:07:34.439 –> 00:07:40.200
So a character goal of an ability you’re trying to develop.

00:07:41.720 –> 00:07:45.800
This will be given to you in the form of a new custom feat.

00:07:47.960 –> 00:07:50.920
Like what if we don’t achieve it before our next level up, though?

00:07:51.480 –> 00:07:52.840
Delay to the next level.

00:07:53.159 –> 00:07:53.399
No.

00:07:53.720 –> 00:07:59.879
No, this is going to be something that this goal is part of what you are achieving as you level up.

00:08:00.439 –> 00:08:01.000
Okay, okay.

00:08:01.319 –> 00:08:01.560
Okay.

00:08:02.039 –> 00:08:10.039
So rather than this being something that you have to constantly try stuff for, it is going to be part of when you level up.

00:08:10.200 –> 00:08:13.319
This is going to be part of that increase in ability.

00:08:14.600 –> 00:08:21.960
Now, let’s say Ipid is tired of always getting beat down, right?

00:08:25.080 –> 00:08:29.560
He might try to look for, try to develop an ability that makes him a little tougher.

00:08:30.439 –> 00:08:34.120
Something that would bolster his strength.

00:08:34.440 –> 00:08:35.879
If it wants to be Ford Tough.

00:08:36.440 –> 00:08:45.879
Or he could work on something like trying to hit multiple abilities with his attacks, where he uses his attack and he hits three or four enemies around him at once.

00:08:49.720 –> 00:08:57.639
Or it could be Aldric developing an ability using his foresight to cast spells the turn before.

00:08:58.440 –> 00:09:02.039
So he would cast his spell and then it would happen later.

00:09:02.360 –> 00:09:08.840
So you could say, this spell happens when this enemy takes this much damage.

00:09:09.159 –> 00:09:12.759
Then the spell would come down immediately and finish them off.

00:09:13.319 –> 00:09:15.879
Or it could be something a bit less mechanical.

00:09:16.200 –> 00:09:25.240
Like your ability is to look into the future and get more specific glimpses of what is going to happen and get moments.

00:09:26.200 –> 00:09:26.360
Okay.

00:09:27.319 –> 00:09:33.160
And these abilities are just a way to take your character more in the direction that you see them going.

00:09:34.120 –> 00:09:35.079
Gotcha.

00:09:38.440 –> 00:09:41.240
It could be now or anytime in the next few weeks.

00:09:41.400 –> 00:09:44.920
You can just let me know what ability you want and what you’re thinking of.

00:09:45.240 –> 00:09:48.840
And I’ll help you develop that into something that fits mechanically.

00:09:50.120 –> 00:09:51.079
Sounds good.

00:09:51.400 –> 00:10:00.840
So picking up where we’re at now, you are outside of Linlithgau, having just overwhelmed the cultists and slain them.

00:10:02.159 –> 00:10:03.039
Their avatar.

00:10:03.360 –> 00:10:11.039
The town is busy, and you see soldiers marching from the north.

00:10:11.360 –> 00:10:15.279
You can’t make out what they are, but you could guess.

00:10:15.600 –> 00:10:27.600
Most likely, they are Ibid’s kinfolk who were going into the mountains to fight giants and now are on their return.

00:10:27.919 –> 00:10:29.840
So we’re on the outskirts of Limufgal?

00:10:30.240 –> 00:10:30.559
Yes.

00:10:30.879 –> 00:10:31.759
Gotcha.

00:10:32.080 –> 00:10:37.759
I think at this point, Ibid awakens from his stupor, I guess.

00:10:38.080 –> 00:10:41.360
His eyes go back to normal, and he rubs his face.

00:10:41.440 –> 00:10:44.159
He’s like, uh he looks around at you guys.

00:10:44.480 –> 00:10:46.000
What happened?

00:10:46.320 –> 00:10:47.519
We’re in a park.

00:10:47.840 –> 00:10:48.720
What happened?

00:10:49.039 –> 00:10:49.919
Who the hell is that?

00:10:50.080 –> 00:10:52.240
He points, because is the celestial with us?

00:10:52.559 –> 00:10:53.120
Yes.

00:10:55.360 –> 00:10:56.240
Who the hell is that?

00:10:56.559 –> 00:10:59.360
Ibid, I think you’ve blacked out again.

00:10:59.679 –> 00:11:01.120
Yeah, I can tell.

00:11:01.679 –> 00:11:02.639
God, I hate that.

00:11:02.879 –> 00:11:04.320
I hate it when that happens.

00:11:04.639 –> 00:11:06.559
I’m sorry, is everything okay?

00:11:06.720 –> 00:11:07.840
Or what happened?

00:11:08.080 –> 00:11:09.120
How long have I been out?

00:11:10.080 –> 00:11:10.879
A while.

00:11:11.440 –> 00:11:13.440
I mean, since what was it?

00:11:13.519 –> 00:11:14.159
Yesterday?

00:11:14.799 –> 00:11:15.759
Yesterday?

00:11:16.639 –> 00:11:18.320
We’re just getting used to it.

00:11:18.639 –> 00:11:19.519
Oh my gosh.

00:11:19.759 –> 00:11:20.080
Alright.

00:11:20.960 –> 00:11:26.320
Um, I assume everything with the wizard tower went good since we’re all here?

00:11:26.639 –> 00:11:30.720
No, it was it was a perfect mess.

00:11:31.039 –> 00:11:31.360
Okay.

00:11:31.680 –> 00:11:34.159
Um, what are we doing outside of Limuscow?

00:11:34.559 –> 00:11:36.960
Well, we decided to get out of town for a while.

00:11:37.279 –> 00:11:38.240
Oh, okay.

00:11:38.799 –> 00:11:41.840
Also, also, we found out where the cultists were.

00:11:42.159 –> 00:11:43.360
Oh, Verador.

00:11:43.680 –> 00:11:44.240
They were here.

00:11:44.399 –> 00:11:46.720
I thought they would be in all Zerves Lost.

00:11:47.200 –> 00:11:49.279
Yeah, there was a cell cultist here.

00:11:49.919 –> 00:11:50.639
Oh, okay.

00:11:58.080 –> 00:11:59.200
Alright, cool.

00:11:59.519 –> 00:12:06.159
Um there was some kind of underground lake in there that I don’t know.

00:12:07.279 –> 00:12:08.639
I don’t know if it was a god.

00:12:08.960 –> 00:12:10.080
It went down.

00:12:10.399 –> 00:12:13.680
Um so yeah, our friend here killed their god.

00:12:14.319 –> 00:12:20.080
Oh uh is this is it wait hold on is this the is this the celestial?

00:12:20.399 –> 00:12:21.360
Oh yeah, she’s great.

00:12:21.840 –> 00:12:22.240
She’s great.

00:12:22.480 –> 00:12:24.799
Oh hi hello.

00:12:25.120 –> 00:12:25.840
What’s your name?

00:12:26.240 –> 00:12:30.080
You looks at you with a smile with just a bit too much teeth in it.

00:12:30.399 –> 00:12:32.240
Oh, I don’t have a name yet.

00:12:32.559 –> 00:12:35.440
Oh, I’m thinking something interesting.

00:12:36.000 –> 00:12:36.639
Interesting?

00:12:36.879 –> 00:12:38.399
Like, you want that to be your name?

00:12:38.639 –> 00:12:42.319
No, I want a name that invites fear.

00:12:43.360 –> 00:12:43.600
Okay.

00:12:43.759 –> 00:12:44.480
You seem nice.

00:12:44.639 –> 00:12:51.200
Uh Karen Karen?

00:12:51.360 –> 00:12:52.960
Oh, that’s a nice name.

00:12:54.240 –> 00:12:56.639
It’s an invocation of fear, trust me.

00:12:58.480 –> 00:13:01.039
Or Volcara, like a volcano.

00:13:02.000 –> 00:13:03.920
Ooh, Volcara is nice.

00:13:04.240 –> 00:13:04.720
Sure.

00:13:05.039 –> 00:13:07.120
Could you describe her appearance again, Newman?

00:13:07.440 –> 00:13:24.000
Right now, she has gray eyes, long, curly black hair, skin so white it could be a cloud, and black, malevolent wings that look like they tear the light right out of the air next to them.

00:13:24.720 –> 00:13:27.039
Very inconspicuous.

00:13:27.360 –> 00:13:31.840
But if you see her out of the corner of the eye, you only see a normal woman.

00:13:32.159 –> 00:13:38.480
It’s only when you focus on her that you see all of the insidious details.

00:13:38.799 –> 00:13:39.519
Oh wow.

00:13:39.840 –> 00:13:41.840
So she’s changed, hasn’t she?

00:13:47.840 –> 00:13:48.159
Yes.

00:13:51.279 –> 00:13:54.159
Her eyes are gray when she’s around people she likes, right?

00:13:56.159 –> 00:13:57.039
Close.

00:13:57.360 –> 00:13:57.600
Oh.

00:13:58.159 –> 00:14:10.080
Her eyes are gray as long as she has had enough to drink in both alcohol and blood to satisfy her when she is hungry.

00:14:10.720 –> 00:14:13.120
Her ex wife was red.

00:14:24.480 –> 00:14:26.319
God, I hate myself.

00:14:34.559 –> 00:14:37.120
The code was blood and booze.

00:14:37.440 –> 00:14:38.720
Blood and booze.

00:14:39.039 –> 00:14:39.360
Right.

00:14:39.600 –> 00:14:40.879
The good old B and D.

00:14:41.440 –> 00:14:42.400
There we go.

00:14:43.360 –> 00:14:51.600
As she walks along with you, there’s a few details that make her seem a bit more conspicuous.

00:14:51.920 –> 00:15:01.920
Her shadow never lines up with the other ones, instead being always at some odd angle, and her feet never actually seem to touch the ground.

00:15:03.240 –> 00:15:03.720
Ground.

00:15:04.039 –> 00:15:04.759
That’s fun.

00:15:05.080 –> 00:15:05.720
Interesting.

00:15:06.039 –> 00:15:08.200
You know, she’s smiling at you.

00:15:09.480 –> 00:15:11.879
I suppose my name is Volcana.

00:15:12.440 –> 00:15:12.679
You’re right.

00:15:14.679 –> 00:15:16.279
I mean, yeah, Volcana seems nice.

00:15:16.360 –> 00:15:17.240
I can stick to that.

00:15:17.720 –> 00:15:19.960
If you like that, then yeah, that giving your name.

00:15:20.279 –> 00:15:25.320
Looking at you, she smiles and says, Now, what are we ever going to do?

00:15:25.639 –> 00:15:29.639
Uh, that’s a good question, honestly.

00:15:29.960 –> 00:15:41.399
Um, I was hoping to get a word in with Varka before I had left town, but oh, do we need to report back to those guys at the foundry?

00:15:42.200 –> 00:15:44.039
Do I need to go and speak to Raymond?

00:15:44.360 –> 00:15:45.879
Only if you want to get paid.

00:15:46.519 –> 00:15:47.879
I guess we want to get paid.

00:15:48.200 –> 00:15:48.519
Yes.

00:15:48.840 –> 00:15:51.080
Do we need to give any evidence or anything?

00:15:51.399 –> 00:15:53.480
You do still have the head.

00:15:53.799 –> 00:15:54.200
Oh, yes.

00:15:55.639 –> 00:15:57.000
Volcana is carrying.

00:15:57.320 –> 00:15:58.039
It’s not me.

00:15:58.360 –> 00:15:59.639
Just put that over there.

00:16:00.440 –> 00:16:02.919
You know, it’s usually I’m carrying the skulls.

00:16:03.000 –> 00:16:04.120
This time it’s not me.

00:16:04.919 –> 00:16:06.360
Are you worried she’s taking your thunder?

00:16:06.679 –> 00:16:09.559
No, I’m just saying, like, if it’s disgusting or something.

00:16:09.960 –> 00:16:11.720
I’m not doing it’s not me doing it.

00:16:12.279 –> 00:16:12.840
It is.

00:16:13.320 –> 00:16:16.680
It is dark grey and slimy.

00:16:17.000 –> 00:16:19.720
It looks like a squid with ten eyes.

00:16:20.039 –> 00:16:20.680
See?

00:16:21.320 –> 00:16:22.840
Hey guys, so like, what’s that?

00:16:24.039 –> 00:16:25.559
What is she holding?

00:16:26.840 –> 00:16:27.879
The thing that killed me.

00:16:28.200 –> 00:16:28.600
Wait.

00:16:30.120 –> 00:16:31.240
Kill what?

00:16:31.799 –> 00:16:32.919
Yeah, Starling died.

00:16:33.320 –> 00:16:34.200
Starling died.

00:16:34.519 –> 00:16:34.759
Yeah.

00:16:35.320 –> 00:16:38.759
Ibid, like, looks at her and pokes her shoulder.

00:16:39.960 –> 00:16:40.919
But you’re still here.

00:16:41.240 –> 00:16:42.279
I’m alive again.

00:16:42.600 –> 00:16:43.879
Oh, okay, right.

00:16:44.200 –> 00:16:44.680
Huh.

00:16:44.919 –> 00:16:46.279
You still have your soul, right?

00:16:46.600 –> 00:16:47.559
Yeah, I think so.

00:16:47.879 –> 00:16:48.519
Oh, okay.

00:16:49.559 –> 00:16:55.080
I know reincarnation or, you know, being revived, sometimes it has its issues.

00:16:55.399 –> 00:16:56.840
Yeah, Volcano brought me back.

00:16:57.080 –> 00:16:57.399
Oh.

00:16:58.519 –> 00:17:01.399
We just made a little deal, and she winks at Ibid.

00:17:01.799 –> 00:17:02.039
What?

00:17:02.519 –> 00:17:03.320
Oh, okay.

00:17:05.480 –> 00:17:09.880
Yes, I brought Starling back, and she promised I could grab a snack whenever I wanted.

00:17:10.200 –> 00:17:11.319
Beer and booze, huh?

00:17:11.400 –> 00:17:13.079
Wait, no, blood and booze, huh?

00:17:13.240 –> 00:17:15.000
Can it be like animal blood?

00:17:15.319 –> 00:17:18.360
I suppose if you want to be crass about it, it could be an animal.

00:17:19.000 –> 00:17:20.200
Okay, good to know.

00:17:20.759 –> 00:17:23.160
Yeah, I don’t think that’s the deal.

00:17:23.480 –> 00:17:25.079
I mean, she said it could be.

00:17:25.400 –> 00:17:26.279
I really don’t mind.

00:17:27.160 –> 00:17:28.039
What do you mean you don’t mind?

00:17:28.360 –> 00:17:29.400
What don’t you mind?

00:17:31.240 –> 00:17:33.000
I don’t mind where the blood comes from.

00:17:33.319 –> 00:17:38.279
I mean, I think it’s pretty important we find a safe place to get this blood from.

00:17:38.360 –> 00:17:40.360
We can’t just be grabbing blood from whoever.

00:17:40.680 –> 00:17:45.480
You’re going to narrate like Starling is because she’s looking at Volcano with like little puppy dog eyes.

00:17:45.799 –> 00:17:46.360
Oh my god.

00:17:47.640 –> 00:17:49.640
I don’t think you’re clear on this deal.

00:17:52.279 –> 00:17:56.680
You know, you know, why is it when I go lights out, there’s always somebody new or the group.

00:17:56.839 –> 00:17:57.640
No offense, Ash.

00:17:57.880 –> 00:17:59.079
Like, I feel like.

00:18:01.799 –> 00:18:11.000
You know, I know some of you guys may call me a stick in the mud, some would say, but I feel like we need to keep track of what type of things we might be getting ourselves into.

00:18:11.240 –> 00:18:13.480
I’m not for just getting blood from random people.

00:18:13.559 –> 00:18:14.759
No events, Volcano.

00:18:15.079 –> 00:18:16.039
Oh, it’s not random.

00:18:16.599 –> 00:18:17.880
It’s not random.

00:18:18.200 –> 00:18:18.440
Okay.

00:18:18.599 –> 00:18:18.920
Alright.

00:18:19.319 –> 00:18:20.519
Well, I’ll keep an eye on.

00:18:20.759 –> 00:18:23.319
Not to be like, oh, I’ll keep an eye on you guys.

00:18:23.640 –> 00:18:25.720
You know, whatever.

00:18:26.039 –> 00:18:26.759
Okay, Dad.

00:18:27.000 –> 00:18:27.319
What?

00:18:33.880 –> 00:18:39.960
As you walk down the cobbled streets of Market Town, you approach the foundry.

00:18:40.920 –> 00:18:44.200
The air tastes like metal.

00:18:44.680 –> 00:18:50.599
And everything seems to be a little dustier and a little grayer than other parts of town.

00:18:51.559 –> 00:18:52.519
But we’re here.

00:18:53.160 –> 00:18:55.000
We did a job for somebody here?

00:18:58.039 –> 00:18:58.440
Sorry?

00:18:59.240 –> 00:19:08.680
As you approach the foundry, you see many men and women covered in tattoos and pierced with metal of all kinds.

00:19:09.000 –> 00:19:13.880
They’re all sitting around outside of the foundry waiting for the shift to start.

00:19:14.200 –> 00:19:16.440
And among them, you see Raymond.

00:19:16.759 –> 00:19:20.039
I’ll do the message countrip.

00:19:20.200 –> 00:19:21.559
Raymond, we’re back.

00:19:21.880 –> 00:19:28.119
You see Raymond sit up straight and look around, uncertain where your voice came from.

00:19:28.440 –> 00:19:29.639
We have killed again.

00:19:32.440 –> 00:19:33.319
Jesus.

00:19:42.200 –> 00:19:44.039
I’m glad he said that in his head.

00:19:48.119 –> 00:19:49.559
I’ll say, like, turn around.

00:19:50.200 –> 00:19:50.599
We’re here.

00:19:50.759 –> 00:19:52.119
Can you come speak to us?

00:19:52.360 –> 00:19:57.559
He turns around, standing up, looks and sees you and begins walking over.

00:19:58.200 –> 00:20:02.920
He sees the large, slimy head Volcana is carrying.

00:20:04.640 –> 00:20:04.799
Yeah.

00:20:05.359 –> 00:20:10.799
I guess Aldric will start pointing and saying, You see, I told you, we’ve killed again.

00:20:11.039 –> 00:20:12.160
Nothing to worry about, though.

00:20:12.240 –> 00:20:13.039
This was a bad thing.

00:20:14.000 –> 00:20:14.960
It was in your mind.

00:20:15.119 –> 00:20:15.920
Right in the pool.

00:20:16.400 –> 00:20:17.200
Underwater.

00:20:17.839 –> 00:20:27.839
He looks at you, his eyes wide, his shoulders stiff, his hands fiddling with his tools in his pockets.

00:20:28.160 –> 00:20:31.039
So what the fuck do you bring that here for?

00:20:31.920 –> 00:20:33.359
Pointing at the head.

00:20:33.680 –> 00:20:35.759
Just evidence, I guess.

00:20:36.000 –> 00:20:37.759
We, you know, you had the problem.

00:20:38.079 –> 00:20:38.880
We solved it.

00:20:39.200 –> 00:20:40.240
And here’s the proof.

00:20:40.480 –> 00:20:42.160
You don’t have to be so rude about it, sir.

00:20:42.480 –> 00:20:43.839
He looks up at Ipid.

00:20:44.079 –> 00:20:45.680
I ain’t no sir.

00:20:46.240 –> 00:20:46.880
I’m sorry.

00:20:47.200 –> 00:20:50.000
The she, they them.

00:20:50.480 –> 00:20:51.119
I don’t mean to.

00:20:51.680 –> 00:20:55.599
He looks at you even more confused and frustrated.

00:20:55.920 –> 00:21:07.680
I mean, I ain’t nobody important, you fuck if it’s like um oh, okay.

00:21:08.799 –> 00:21:10.240
Aldric, is this your friend?

00:21:10.559 –> 00:21:12.480
Uh, we go back a ways.

00:21:12.559 –> 00:21:13.359
It’s a long story.

00:21:13.680 –> 00:21:14.720
Well, they’re a dick.

00:21:18.079 –> 00:21:20.720
He’s fine, but message cantrip.

00:21:21.119 –> 00:21:22.400
Yes, I know.

00:21:28.559 –> 00:21:35.359
He walks forward towards you, Aldric, and pulls a roll of paper out of his pocket.

00:21:35.680 –> 00:21:43.519
Flipping through it, he pulls out two slips written out for each a thousand gold.

00:21:43.839 –> 00:21:45.680
He hands you the first one.

00:21:46.000 –> 00:21:47.440
This one’s for the mine.

00:21:47.759 –> 00:21:48.480
Thank you.

00:21:48.799 –> 00:21:50.000
And he hands you the second.

00:21:50.319 –> 00:21:52.559
And that’s for what I owe you for last time.

00:21:54.160 –> 00:21:54.400
Yeah.

00:21:55.519 –> 00:21:56.799
Yes, thank you.

00:21:57.039 –> 00:21:58.559
It took you a while.

00:21:58.880 –> 00:22:00.799
But you know, you give it back.

00:22:01.119 –> 00:22:02.240
That’s the important thing.

00:22:02.400 –> 00:22:02.880
Thank you.

00:22:04.319 –> 00:22:05.680
He smiles at you.

00:22:06.000 –> 00:22:08.079
All things in their proper time.

00:22:08.400 –> 00:22:11.680
Maybe a bit late, but better late than never.

00:22:12.000 –> 00:22:15.200
Yeah, I’m still not forgiving you for leaving me where you left me, though.

00:22:15.519 –> 00:22:17.440
But, you know, whatever.

00:22:17.759 –> 00:22:19.039
He looks down a bit.

00:22:19.200 –> 00:22:24.079
Well, I didn’t exactly choose that, but that’s in the past.

00:22:24.400 –> 00:22:25.200
It’s in the past.

00:22:25.839 –> 00:22:27.440
We can still probably work together.

00:22:27.759 –> 00:22:29.680
Anyway, this is my friend Ipid.

00:22:29.759 –> 00:22:31.839
I’m not sure if you would have spoken to him last time.

00:22:32.079 –> 00:22:32.240
Right.

00:22:34.079 –> 00:22:37.680
Ah, you were real quiet last time.

00:22:38.000 –> 00:22:39.519
Yeah, I apologize for that.

00:22:39.680 –> 00:22:42.559
I was in my mind, Palace.

00:22:44.480 –> 00:22:46.640
He looks over at Aldric.

00:22:46.960 –> 00:22:50.000
So has this one taken a few hits to the head?

00:22:50.319 –> 00:22:54.400
He says just loudly enough for Ipid to hear it.

00:22:55.360 –> 00:22:56.400
Oh, you wouldn’t believe it.

00:22:57.759 –> 00:23:01.200
He’s fought valiantly on a number of occasions.

00:23:01.519 –> 00:23:04.960
Yes, and he’s usually on the front line, is what you mean.

00:23:05.200 –> 00:23:05.519
Yeah.

00:23:07.759 –> 00:23:08.400
Huh.

00:23:10.319 –> 00:23:15.119
Um yeah, is there anything else, any other business you need from us?

00:23:15.440 –> 00:23:22.559
He looks up as you hear a loud ringing and people begin walking towards the foundry.

00:23:23.279 –> 00:23:28.640
No, I think we’re sorted, but I’ll come looking for you the next time I need a job.

00:23:28.960 –> 00:23:29.839
Please do.

00:23:30.160 –> 00:23:33.279
Um yeah, your miners should be safe now.

00:23:34.240 –> 00:23:36.720
He smiles, so I’m saying, Well, that’s good.

00:23:37.360 –> 00:23:39.680
Try not to get yourself killed, Aldric.

00:23:40.000 –> 00:23:42.480
And he goes walking into the foundry.

00:23:45.920 –> 00:23:46.960
Old acquaintances.

00:23:47.440 –> 00:23:49.519
That was quite a character.

00:23:51.039 –> 00:23:51.279
Yeah.

00:23:51.759 –> 00:23:53.200
Old acquaintances, you know.

00:23:53.519 –> 00:23:54.160
Right.

00:23:54.720 –> 00:23:56.559
Sometimes you don’t choose who you work with.

00:23:56.880 –> 00:23:58.799
Oh, I feel that.

00:23:59.039 –> 00:24:05.279
I feel like we, for the most part, everybody’s kind of had somebody here from our past.

00:24:06.240 –> 00:24:10.559
Speaking of that, do we have any more affairs to continue with here in Monlithgau?

00:24:10.799 –> 00:24:14.799
The Lich didn’t have anything for us to do here until we get to Alzair’s loss, right?

00:24:15.119 –> 00:24:15.759
I don’t remember.

00:24:16.000 –> 00:24:17.680
In fact, he did.

00:24:18.799 –> 00:24:24.400
As you might recall, the Lich’s inheritor is in the city.

00:24:24.720 –> 00:24:25.360
Oh, right.

00:24:27.519 –> 00:24:28.880
Isn’t that a kid?

00:24:29.440 –> 00:24:29.920
Yes.

00:24:32.639 –> 00:24:35.119
To inherit, but not old enough to rule.

00:24:35.440 –> 00:24:35.680
Okay.

00:24:36.480 –> 00:24:37.119
I’ve forgotten.

00:24:37.360 –> 00:24:39.119
What were we supposed to do with this kid?

00:24:40.000 –> 00:24:41.759
Take him to Alsdair’s Lost.

00:24:42.319 –> 00:24:42.639
Okay.

00:24:43.920 –> 00:24:46.480
Wait, can just to refresh my memory.

00:24:47.279 –> 00:24:49.440
The Lich is Alzdair.

00:24:50.000 –> 00:24:54.319
And his inheritor is this kid who is here for some reason.

00:24:54.480 –> 00:24:56.000
I thought he was in Alder’s Lost.

00:24:57.039 –> 00:24:57.279
Okay.

00:24:57.840 –> 00:24:58.079
No.

00:24:58.559 –> 00:25:03.279
The child is his long descendant in the Lithgau.

00:25:05.960 –> 00:25:06.599
Got you.

00:25:06.920 –> 00:25:07.240
Okay.

00:25:08.200 –> 00:25:09.640
Well, we have that to take care of.

00:25:09.799 –> 00:25:11.880
Plus, you know, I.

00:25:13.400 –> 00:25:15.880
Ipid looks at a post that’s right next to him.

00:25:16.039 –> 00:25:16.839
He takes it off.

00:25:16.920 –> 00:25:23.000
He says, you know, they didn’t get your eyebrows all that well here, Scorn, but pretty accurate.

00:25:23.880 –> 00:25:25.880
Are we okay just walking around here?

00:25:26.200 –> 00:25:27.079
I’m not sure.

00:25:29.160 –> 00:25:34.519
I’m thinking of heading back to the tavern, the broken wand.

00:25:34.839 –> 00:25:39.400
Oh, you think we should be safe there?

00:25:39.720 –> 00:25:40.119
Yes.

00:25:40.759 –> 00:25:41.079
Okay.

00:25:41.400 –> 00:25:54.359
Yeah, I feel like we could reconvene there, because I, plus, on top of what we need to get done for the lich, which I’m still kind of iffy about, but hey, I want to get a hold to see if we can speak to Varka.

00:25:54.519 –> 00:25:58.200
She might have some information that I need, personally.

00:25:58.519 –> 00:25:59.880
What do you want to do first?

00:26:00.519 –> 00:26:03.720
Well, I don’t really know where to look for Varka, if I’m going to be honest.

00:26:03.799 –> 00:26:13.559
I could go back to the entrance of the city and speak to those other Dragonborn warriors, but I have a feeling if we were to bring you and Ash along, we might have some issues.

00:26:13.880 –> 00:26:15.160
You’re talking about Scorn?

00:26:16.039 –> 00:26:16.359
Yeah.

00:26:17.559 –> 00:26:18.119
Why?

00:26:18.440 –> 00:26:21.960
Well, he shows him the wanted poster of the two.

00:26:23.160 –> 00:26:23.960
Oh, I’m sorry.

00:26:24.119 –> 00:26:26.359
I thought it was the Tiefling connection for some reason.

00:26:26.519 –> 00:26:33.720
I was just like a Dragon Barnes are racist against Tieflings or something.

00:26:33.799 –> 00:26:34.359
I was like, what?

00:26:34.839 –> 00:26:36.279
No, I love Scorn.

00:26:36.519 –> 00:26:40.119
And if it gives Scorn a nice, strong side hug.

00:26:40.759 –> 00:26:42.119
I was following the danks.

00:26:45.240 –> 00:26:46.759
I’m still warming up to Ash.

00:26:46.839 –> 00:26:49.640
He has some crude language, but, you know, hey, we’re getting there.

00:26:49.880 –> 00:26:51.960
Oh, it’s not just his language.

00:26:55.000 –> 00:26:55.880
I’m wondering.

00:26:56.119 –> 00:26:57.160
Who will go where?

00:26:57.480 –> 00:27:03.240
Ipid would like to make a quick stop at the entrance of town, just like to check in.

00:27:03.480 –> 00:27:06.359
I hate to do a party split, but I don’t know.

00:27:06.839 –> 00:27:07.720
It’s alright.

00:27:09.079 –> 00:27:15.079
I’m going to use disguise self, and I’m just your ordinary average human.

00:27:15.400 –> 00:27:18.039
Cool, so just Ash needs to go to the broken wand.

00:27:19.559 –> 00:27:20.759
I want to make sure he gets there.

00:27:21.000 –> 00:27:21.640
Oh, okay.

00:27:21.960 –> 00:27:22.119
Okay.

00:27:22.680 –> 00:27:34.759
So over in the western side of town is where you guys entered and where you saw your many kinfolk posted in tents.

00:27:35.079 –> 00:27:38.200
For now, you are all returning to the broken wand.

00:27:38.519 –> 00:27:51.799
As you walk down the street where it resides, you are again assaulted with the smell of so many street foods, so many delicacies that really aren’t that delicate.

00:27:52.440 –> 00:27:54.440
Starling, again for having you eat that stuff.

00:27:54.599 –> 00:28:00.519
You know, I knew you were trying to cause a distraction, but that throw-up didn’t look fake.

00:28:02.360 –> 00:28:03.480
It wasn’t.

00:28:06.039 –> 00:28:07.319
I’m sorry.

00:28:08.519 –> 00:28:11.559
We can eat more street food just in case I need to throw up again later.

00:28:11.880 –> 00:28:14.039
Oh, no, you probably should avoid that.

00:28:14.279 –> 00:28:17.240
I think that’s like a disease, like an issue when you do that.

00:28:18.200 –> 00:28:19.640
Not at all necessary, really.

00:28:20.119 –> 00:28:20.920
Yeah, no.

00:28:22.839 –> 00:28:24.279
Is she sound upset?

00:28:26.680 –> 00:28:28.519
I just want to eat more food.

00:28:31.480 –> 00:28:37.240
Ipid takes out the fantasy-ish version of a granola bar.

00:28:37.319 –> 00:28:38.839
He’s like, here, this will hold you over.

00:28:41.720 –> 00:28:51.960
Starling, you munch on crunchy, stale, dry rations from Ipid’s pack, which has been through quite a bit of trial.

00:28:52.279 –> 00:28:54.759
See, that’s a good source of protein for you, Starling.

00:28:54.920 –> 00:28:56.360
That’s a really good source of protein.

00:28:57.000 –> 00:28:57.400
Fiber.

00:28:58.920 –> 00:29:08.119
You smell the delicious sizzling meats of street food, sweet berries, and tart pastries.

00:29:09.640 –> 00:29:10.759
Thanks, Ipid.

00:29:11.319 –> 00:29:11.880
Of course.

00:29:13.480 –> 00:29:15.640
Ipid has a dumb smile on his face.

00:29:16.519 –> 00:29:18.519
The same thing happens to me in real life.

00:29:23.400 –> 00:29:24.519
Don’t date a bodybuilder.

00:29:24.599 –> 00:29:25.079
It’s terrible.

00:29:25.319 –> 00:29:26.519
Absolutely awful.

00:29:29.000 –> 00:29:30.680
You got to hit our macros today.

00:29:30.759 –> 00:29:32.759
I’m like, bro, this is our third dozen of eggs.

00:29:32.840 –> 00:29:33.799
Can you stop?

00:29:38.840 –> 00:29:45.639
As you approach the broken wand, you see the door to the tavern hanging off of its hinges.

00:29:46.599 –> 00:29:47.799
Was that always like that?

00:29:48.119 –> 00:29:48.360
No.

00:29:48.599 –> 00:29:49.960
No, it’s not good at all.

00:29:50.599 –> 00:29:52.119
Let’s go see what’s going on.

00:29:52.440 –> 00:29:55.079
Ipet approaches and he has his sword in hand.

00:29:55.400 –> 00:29:59.079
As you look inside, you see smoke billowing.

00:30:00.920 –> 00:30:04.840
There’s a fire behind the bar, and there are guards standing.

00:30:06.160 –> 00:30:26.079
Standing throughout You see Sorcha and many performers in shackles in the middle of the room Scorn I thought you said this place would be safe It was safe it’s not anymore Do we just see the clients strapped up?

00:30:26.160 –> 00:30:27.039
We don’t see anybody else?

00:30:27.599 –> 00:30:31.359
Just the performers and Sorcha How many people?

00:30:31.680 –> 00:31:10.079
You see eight performers and Sorcha ten guards within and these are just basic Linlith Lau Lindless Linlith Gau guards Yes They are just simply standing around in padded gambisons carrying clubs no particular outstanding weaponry or armor Well Scorn’s not having it He barges in and says what’s all this if it’s right behind Scorn backing him up one of the guards steps forward and holds out his hand Halt now this tavern’s under investigation For what reason?

00:31:10.400 –> 00:31:52.160
The distribution of illegal goods We’ve been finding the sale of poisons and other uses for assassination from this tavern Yeah insight check on that roll insight I think he’s full of it can’t see the dice It’s an eighteen Oh okay So as you look at him assessing you see dozens of vials laid out on the table and you see a variety of them marked as poison were we aware of those being there last time we were here?

00:31:53.039 –> 00:32:20.400
No The guards seemingly have collected them from around the establishment and the guard scorn is telling you the truth from what you can tell like last time we were in the tavern we wouldn’t have seen one or two bottles lying around or anything like that No but looking around the tavern you can see where even the floorboards have been torn up in places.

00:32:20.720 –> 00:32:28.640
The bar has been rifled through and smoke is sticking to the back of your throats inside.

00:32:28.960 –> 00:32:32.079
It has been thoroughly searched and torn apart.

00:32:32.400 –> 00:32:35.279
Well by the looks of it it just seems like you found these things in here.

00:32:35.440 –> 00:32:42.640
It doesn’t mean that the clientele of this or the employees of the specific establishment had anything to do with this.

00:32:42.880 –> 00:32:45.599
A bunch of people come in and out of these taverns, you know?

00:32:46.319 –> 00:32:47.839
People are bound to leave things behind.

00:32:48.160 –> 00:32:51.839
I mean for the most part it’s a pretty shady place, but I mean hey what do you expect?

00:32:52.400 –> 00:32:53.759
Get these guys off the floor now.

00:32:53.920 –> 00:32:55.039
You can’t prove anything.

00:32:55.360 –> 00:32:57.200
The guard points at them.

00:32:57.519 –> 00:33:02.880
These are trained assassins Scorn just busts out laughing.

00:33:03.519 –> 00:33:09.440
Is the is the T Flame that had an evening with Starling a part of all them?

00:33:09.759 –> 00:33:10.240
Yes.

00:33:10.559 –> 00:33:11.279
Oh no.

00:33:11.920 –> 00:33:12.319
You can bow.

00:33:12.720 –> 00:33:18.480
These assassins have been working for an underground guild and we’re here to root them out.

00:33:19.920 –> 00:33:21.360
How do you know they’re assassins?

00:33:21.680 –> 00:33:24.240
We’ve been running performance investigations.

00:33:24.559 –> 00:33:31.360
I can’t go into the details of detective work right now with you, but we have solid evidence.

00:33:31.680 –> 00:33:34.079
We are actually somewhat of detectives ourselves.

00:33:34.640 –> 00:33:36.720
We hired in the past for such things.

00:33:37.039 –> 00:33:40.000
So I think it would help that we could lend our expertise to you.

00:33:41.200 –> 00:33:43.119
What would you be helping with?

00:33:43.440 –> 00:33:46.000
Determining who really did all this.

00:33:46.319 –> 00:33:48.319
I think something’s not right here.

00:33:48.640 –> 00:33:51.680
No, that’s the realm of the judge.

00:33:51.759 –> 00:33:53.440
We’re taking them in to be arrested.

00:33:53.759 –> 00:33:58.720
And then it will be the judge’s decision based upon the evidence which we have found.

00:33:59.360 –> 00:34:04.000
I mean the worst worst, worst detective work I’ve ever seen.

00:34:04.240 –> 00:34:10.000
My good man I don’t think you could find your rear end with both hands and a lantern.

00:34:10.719 –> 00:34:11.440
He looks at you.

00:34:12.000 –> 00:34:14.719
Oh, so you’re working with them.

00:34:15.039 –> 00:34:15.599
Oh no.

00:34:16.719 –> 00:34:17.280
I’m just saying.

00:34:18.559 –> 00:34:23.679
I’m just saying that you wouldn’t know Linlith Cows most wanted if he was right in front of you.

00:34:24.720 –> 00:34:28.800
I think I would know what Linlith Gows Most Wanted would look like.

00:34:29.119 –> 00:34:29.440
Yeah.

00:34:30.079 –> 00:34:30.800
No, you don’t.

00:34:31.039 –> 00:34:32.639
Scorn drops is disguise.

00:34:34.480 –> 00:34:35.840
He looks at you and laughs.

00:34:36.000 –> 00:34:37.920
You’re the guy who pissed off the wizard.

00:34:38.239 –> 00:34:41.920
You know, you might be a little fool of yourself, but you’re not most wanted in this town.

00:34:42.880 –> 00:34:44.639
Just the man of the hour.

00:34:44.800 –> 00:34:46.000
Wanted posters everywhere.

00:34:47.039 –> 00:34:47.519
Yep.

00:34:47.760 –> 00:34:51.280
I’m going to cast casting freedom of movement.

00:34:52.880 –> 00:34:58.079
He might not be most wanted by you guys, but most wanted from some, that’s for sure.

00:34:59.920 –> 00:35:00.559
Thanks, I think.

00:35:07.639 –> 00:35:13.239
See the guards pulling up their clubs, getting ready to lay at down the law.

00:35:13.880 –> 00:35:14.280
Hey.

00:35:14.599 –> 00:35:16.440
How close are they standing to one another?

00:35:16.760 –> 00:35:22.679
They’re standing about two or three feet away from each other, surrounding the group of performers in Zorcha.

00:35:23.719 –> 00:35:25.239
They won’t get their clubs.

00:35:25.559 –> 00:35:26.519
Okay, alright.

00:35:28.280 –> 00:35:29.000
No need for all that.

00:35:29.079 –> 00:35:29.800
You can take me in.

00:35:30.599 –> 00:35:36.760
Uldrich’s got detects thoughts and would let you cast that to the one that was speaking to us.

00:35:37.079 –> 00:35:37.559
Alright.

00:35:38.199 –> 00:35:40.440
If you can do it subtly without being noticed.

00:35:40.760 –> 00:35:41.880
Roll stealth.

00:35:42.199 –> 00:35:42.599
Alright.

00:35:43.480 –> 00:35:43.880
Ew.

00:35:44.840 –> 00:35:46.119
Heroic inspiration?

00:35:46.440 –> 00:35:47.480
Yes, you do have it.

00:35:47.559 –> 00:35:48.360
You can roll again.

00:35:48.679 –> 00:35:49.719
I do have it.

00:35:50.440 –> 00:35:50.840
That’s better.

00:35:51.719 –> 00:35:52.280
Fourteen?

00:35:52.679 –> 00:35:53.400
Can I get that guy?

00:35:53.800 –> 00:36:04.199
Cast the spell discreetly, and as you look at the guard talking to you, you hear him thinking, This is just getting more and more complicated.

00:36:04.519 –> 00:36:12.199
They told us this was going to be a simple walk in, find the evidence, arrest the performers, and walk out.

00:36:13.079 –> 00:36:14.679
Scorn’s just turning himself in.

00:36:16.039 –> 00:36:17.800
He doesn’t want to get beat up by a bunch of guards.

00:36:18.119 –> 00:36:23.559
Ipid looks at Scorn and kind of looks at the group and he’s like Scorn winks at him.

00:36:23.880 –> 00:36:24.119
Okay.

00:36:24.440 –> 00:36:26.599
Um Ipid looks back at the guards.

00:36:26.840 –> 00:36:32.840
You guys have, I assume, fair trial in this city or in this country, correct?

00:36:33.159 –> 00:36:33.719
Oh yeah.

00:36:34.280 –> 00:36:34.440
Okay.

00:36:36.280 –> 00:36:38.199
We don’t want to cause any conflict here.

00:36:38.280 –> 00:36:45.079
As you can see, my client here is turning himself in properly, okay?

00:36:47.559 –> 00:36:50.280
Aside with Ash, I’m both their clients.

00:36:50.599 –> 00:36:51.320
I’m dude.

00:36:51.719 –> 00:36:53.800
And I have my second chair in my third chair here.

00:36:53.880 –> 00:36:56.440
He points at Aldrich and Starling.

00:36:56.760 –> 00:37:02.360
Okay, Aldric will hold his spell book as if it’s like legal papers.

00:37:04.599 –> 00:37:09.880
As long as we have fair trial in this city, that’s all that matters, and we’ll be able to represent them.

00:37:10.039 –> 00:37:11.559
And you know what?

00:37:11.639 –> 00:37:12.920
We’ll represent these guys too.

00:37:13.079 –> 00:37:17.400
And Ipid points at the group of drug dealers in the middle of the bar.

00:37:19.559 –> 00:37:22.119
Ipid looks back at Scorn and winks.

00:37:25.559 –> 00:37:27.800
The guard looks at you at Aldrich.

00:37:29.000 –> 00:37:33.000
You notice I’m thinking, well, that went oddly.

00:37:34.440 –> 00:37:38.039
Like, all right, come here, gesturing to Scorn and Ash.

00:37:38.360 –> 00:37:40.039
Come put your shackles on.

00:37:40.360 –> 00:37:43.960
As Scorn walks by, Ipid’s going to whisper, We got you, buddy.

00:37:44.199 –> 00:37:45.320
I’ve got this.

00:37:48.039 –> 00:37:59.239
As they put iron shackles around your wrists, they tie you in line with the performers, with Sorcha at the back, and Scorn at the front.

00:38:01.400 –> 00:38:02.840
All right, come along.

00:38:03.159 –> 00:38:06.440
And surrounding you, they begin leading you through town.

00:38:06.760 –> 00:38:17.719
They walk you down the maid roads, through the center square, and up to the east, where they begin walking you down into a prison.

00:38:19.000 –> 00:38:27.400
They take you step by step down, down into dark, dank prison cells.

00:38:27.719 –> 00:38:36.920
With a terrible screech, they swing open an iron door to a large empty cell, and they file you in one after the other.

00:38:37.239 –> 00:38:44.360
You see the guard close the door, and then a wizard walks down the stairs after them.

00:38:44.679 –> 00:38:47.000
This is the wizard whose tower you robbed.

00:38:47.320 –> 00:38:52.679
Looking over the group, you see him cast a spell on the iron door.

00:38:53.000 –> 00:38:55.159
He looks around at the group of you.

00:38:55.480 –> 00:38:57.719
Well, now you will face justice.

00:38:58.039 –> 00:39:01.000
Is there any way we could have a moment in private with our clients?

00:39:01.960 –> 00:39:07.719
He looks over at you, recognizing Aldric, Starling, and Ipid.

00:39:10.280 –> 00:39:11.559
What do you mean clients?

00:39:12.440 –> 00:39:14.440
Weren’t you paying for a lesson?

00:39:16.360 –> 00:39:20.119
You know, to make ends meet, you gotta take some odd jobs.

00:39:20.599 –> 00:39:24.039
You can’t really pick who you represent, you know, it depends on paying.

00:39:24.280 –> 00:39:25.000
He looks at you.

00:39:25.159 –> 00:39:27.960
Well, you got your work cut out for you.

00:39:28.280 –> 00:39:28.840
Oh, yeah.

00:39:29.400 –> 00:39:30.599
Yeah, we have hard evidence.

00:39:30.760 –> 00:39:34.199
They broke into my tower and stole several valuable artifacts.

00:39:34.519 –> 00:39:42.280
And on top of that, these group that they’ve been consorting with has been caught dealing in poison and committing assassinations.

00:39:42.599 –> 00:39:45.960
I didn’t pick this job because I thought it’d be easy, sir.

00:39:46.280 –> 00:39:48.519
Oh, this one, I wouldn’t call it hard.

00:39:48.599 –> 00:39:49.960
I would call it impossible.

00:39:50.280 –> 00:39:53.000
Well, you clearly haven’t been the lawyer.

00:39:53.239 –> 00:39:54.119
He strokes his beard.

00:39:54.360 –> 00:39:56.280
As a matter of fact, I taught law.

00:39:57.079 –> 00:39:57.639
Shit.

00:40:01.800 –> 00:40:04.119
Anyways, can we have a moment, please?

00:40:04.440 –> 00:40:06.280
No, they have no right to privacy.

00:40:06.599 –> 00:40:06.840
Good.

00:40:08.320 –> 00:40:08.559
Okay.

00:40:08.880 –> 00:40:11.280
Yeah, um sending spells.

00:40:11.440 –> 00:40:11.840
Oh, yeah.

00:40:12.000 –> 00:40:14.400
Um, I mean message cantroops.

00:40:14.480 –> 00:40:14.639
Yeah.

00:40:14.960 –> 00:40:15.039
Yeah.

00:40:16.000 –> 00:40:18.239
Scorn, uh, scorn messages to Sorcea.

00:40:18.559 –> 00:40:20.559
Is what they’re saying about you true?

00:40:20.880 –> 00:40:23.840
Sorcea looks at you with a bit of a sheepish smile.

00:40:24.400 –> 00:40:25.679
Only for the most part.

00:40:27.760 –> 00:40:34.000
Ippa sort of like looks over at Scorn, sort of like with big eyes, like, how do you want to drive this?

00:40:34.079 –> 00:40:37.599
Like, how do you scorn cast message again?

00:40:38.480 –> 00:40:39.119
On the sly.

00:40:39.599 –> 00:40:43.280
Ah, they’ll uh they’ll let us out of this cell.

00:40:43.599 –> 00:40:44.800
Ah, for the trial.

00:40:45.119 –> 00:40:46.400
Ask him when it’s gonna be.

00:40:46.719 –> 00:40:50.559
Yeah, so um when are uh my client’s trials gonna be held?

00:40:50.800 –> 00:40:52.880
How long do we have for preparation?

00:40:53.199 –> 00:40:58.239
The trial for the assassins is tonight at the glooming hour.

00:40:59.360 –> 00:41:03.519
If they are found innocent, they will be set free in the central square.

00:41:03.840 –> 00:41:04.079
Okay.

00:41:04.400 –> 00:41:07.119
If they are not, they will be executed.

00:41:07.440 –> 00:41:08.639
Oh, wow, okay.

00:41:08.880 –> 00:41:11.280
Um, is this gonna be a judge or jury trial?

00:41:12.320 –> 00:41:14.639
This is going to be a trial by a judge.

00:41:14.960 –> 00:41:16.239
Oh, oh, great.

00:41:16.559 –> 00:41:16.880
Okay.

00:41:17.199 –> 00:41:20.400
Understood, if it nervously writes this down on a piece of parchment.

00:41:20.719 –> 00:41:24.400
And uh the two gentlemen, uh, he points at Ash and Scorn.

00:41:24.800 –> 00:41:28.079
Well, depending on their crimes, they’ll have two options.

00:41:28.400 –> 00:41:34.400
They can either go to prison for many years and serve their sentence doing hard labor.

00:41:35.039 –> 00:41:40.480
Or, if the judge decides, they may return the items and walk free.

00:41:40.800 –> 00:41:42.719
Oh, if it’s like, oh, okay.

00:41:43.039 –> 00:41:47.519
And like, in like a little note, he says, he says, um, trial number two.

00:41:47.840 –> 00:41:49.440
He got this in the back.

00:41:52.639 –> 00:41:53.599
Okay, understood.

00:41:53.840 –> 00:41:55.199
But no exact date.

00:41:56.000 –> 00:41:58.800
I guess, like, they’ll be given a deal, pretty much.

00:41:59.119 –> 00:42:01.280
Um, they will be tried tomorrow at dawn.

00:42:01.599 –> 00:42:02.239
Gotcha.

00:42:03.440 –> 00:42:04.320
Understood.

00:42:04.639 –> 00:42:04.960
Okay.

00:42:05.280 –> 00:42:09.519
Um how are we underground?

00:42:09.840 –> 00:42:10.480
He said.

00:42:10.800 –> 00:42:11.199
Yes.

00:42:11.519 –> 00:42:11.599
Okay.

00:42:12.639 –> 00:42:14.320
How deep would you say we would be?

00:42:14.559 –> 00:42:16.239
About ten feet below the ground.

00:42:16.559 –> 00:42:17.599
Oh, okay, perfect.

00:42:17.840 –> 00:42:27.199
Alright, well, um, if it looks over at the people in the cell, uh, we’ll be in contact with you guys, uh, waiting trial, and we’ll be sure to set you guys up properly.

00:42:27.519 –> 00:42:29.599
Um, and he looks at Starlane and Aldric.

00:42:29.760 –> 00:42:32.800
Let’s go ahead and uh head back to the office.

00:42:33.119 –> 00:42:37.039
Uh if it if it looks over at the wizard and it’s like, thank you, sir.

00:42:37.360 –> 00:42:52.800
Um and what what if it’s trying to do is pretty much like maybe find like a back alley not too far from where the cells would be underground in the building to hopefully still keep a connection of sending between perhaps Starlane and Aldrich.

00:42:53.039 –> 00:42:54.559
Er uh Scorn, I mean.

00:42:55.199 –> 00:42:55.760
Alright.

00:42:56.400 –> 00:42:58.400
The wizard didn’t say anything to Volcano.

00:42:58.960 –> 00:42:59.199
Right?

00:42:59.840 –> 00:43:01.039
He hasn’t noticed.

00:43:01.840 –> 00:43:02.880
That’s interesting.

00:43:03.199 –> 00:43:05.280
Well, I guess he just didn’t pay attention to her.

00:43:05.599 –> 00:43:09.360
No one has noticed her since you’ve come back into town.

00:43:10.000 –> 00:43:10.239
Oh.

00:43:11.199 –> 00:43:12.960
But we know that she’s still with us?

00:43:13.199 –> 00:43:14.079
Or yes.

00:43:14.400 –> 00:43:14.719
Okay.

00:43:16.719 –> 00:43:27.119
I was worried if it was like where the um after we’re away from everybody, uh if it looks at him and like okay um sorry if I took lead there.

00:43:27.280 –> 00:43:28.639
What the fuck do we do?

00:43:29.840 –> 00:43:32.079
I should have put the guards to sleep, but no.

00:43:33.360 –> 00:43:34.719
I guess it says more interesting.

00:43:35.199 –> 00:43:38.559
Well no, I mean how many people are you able to put to sleep?

00:43:38.880 –> 00:43:42.480
As many as stand in the five foot range.

00:43:42.800 –> 00:43:43.760
Oh, okay.

00:43:44.079 –> 00:43:49.440
So um did they take all of Scorn’s equipment or has he still got some of it?

00:43:49.760 –> 00:43:51.679
You don’t have any of your equipment.

00:43:53.760 –> 00:43:54.079
Okay.

00:43:54.800 –> 00:43:56.559
It’s unfortunate what they do with it.

00:43:57.039 –> 00:44:02.079
You’re not sure, but probably stored somewhere in the building upstairs.

00:44:04.480 –> 00:44:12.800
Okay, well by the sounds of it, it seems like Scorn and Ash’s trial, maybe up to the judge, will be better off.

00:44:12.960 –> 00:44:16.800
If we can just return the things he stole, that’ll be fine, right?

00:44:17.039 –> 00:44:19.920
I mean, they have the things he stole in possession.

00:44:21.199 –> 00:44:23.119
So, I don’t know.

00:44:25.519 –> 00:44:32.960
As we were standing back there, Valkara looks around, and her eyes begin to glow a bit red.

00:44:33.280 –> 00:44:34.960
You alright there, Volkara?

00:44:35.280 –> 00:44:36.400
She smiles at you.

00:44:36.720 –> 00:44:39.840
Teeth looking a little too sharp and a little too long.

00:44:40.159 –> 00:44:42.480
Oh, I’m just a little peckish.

00:44:44.800 –> 00:44:50.880
I’m sure we can find a watering hole around here somewhere while we figure out what we want to do for our friends here.

00:44:51.199 –> 00:45:03.440
Um, Starlane, is there any way you can send Scorn a message and maybe keep an open communication between the two or between you two so we can maybe get his insight on this and maybe what he might want to do?

00:45:03.760 –> 00:45:05.840
What message would you like to send to him?

00:45:07.039 –> 00:45:07.840
Uh what’s good.

00:45:13.079 –> 00:45:14.199
How should we go about this?

00:45:14.440 –> 00:45:15.639
He’s the guy on the inside.

00:45:15.800 –> 00:45:26.920
I feel like if he has something in mind that he might prefer us to do, or if we actually go to trial, ask him ask him what if he has any thoughts in mind about this.

00:45:27.239 –> 00:45:27.400
Okay.

00:45:27.719 –> 00:45:29.400
Is there anything else you wanted to add?

00:45:29.719 –> 00:45:31.239
We have twenty-five words.

00:45:33.400 –> 00:45:40.119
Ask him if he’s willing to go on the stand for his female friend if that comes to a point.

00:45:40.360 –> 00:45:40.519
Okay.

00:45:42.920 –> 00:45:46.440
I’m just writing it out so I know that it’s false within the parameters.

00:45:47.239 –> 00:45:51.719
A lot of acronyms like TTYL, WYD, question mark.

00:45:54.280 –> 00:45:59.320
Scorn, as you are standing in the cell, Sporcho walks over to you.

00:45:59.639 –> 00:46:02.440
I’m sorry you got caught up in all of this.

00:46:02.760 –> 00:46:04.840
I was going to say the same thing to you.

00:46:05.159 –> 00:46:06.679
Oh, this is part of our plan.

00:46:07.000 –> 00:46:08.199
Oh, okay then.

00:46:08.519 –> 00:46:10.920
Why don’t you clue me in on this plan?

00:46:11.239 –> 00:46:12.840
So I don’t trip you up.

00:46:13.559 –> 00:46:18.360
Are you sure you want to know if we tell you you’ll be culpable?

00:46:18.679 –> 00:46:20.360
I’m already culpable worse.

00:46:20.840 –> 00:46:21.960
I’m out of snow slots.

00:46:22.519 –> 00:46:23.079
Oh no!

00:46:26.920 –> 00:46:28.119
Get some rest.

00:46:31.559 –> 00:46:32.760
You don’t have enough time.

00:46:33.079 –> 00:46:34.280
So you can’t talk to him.

00:46:36.039 –> 00:46:36.519
Imped.

00:46:37.400 –> 00:46:39.880
I think I used it all up in the mine.

00:46:40.519 –> 00:46:41.480
Oh, okay, cool.

00:46:41.960 –> 00:46:42.599
That’s fine.

00:46:43.159 –> 00:46:43.639
You know what?

00:46:43.960 –> 00:46:47.559
He probably knows that we’re good.

00:46:48.280 –> 00:46:49.880
Let’s find somewhere for the night.

00:46:52.440 –> 00:46:57.800
So, Scorn, during our trial today, we’re going to make a bit of a scene.

00:46:58.519 –> 00:46:59.239
To what end?

00:46:59.960 –> 00:47:04.199
Well, the knaves are in need of a big distraction.

00:47:05.159 –> 00:47:13.719
And we’re hoping that they can, should we say, acquire some information about a certain child.

00:47:14.599 –> 00:47:16.039
What child would that be?

00:47:16.360 –> 00:47:25.880
There’s a child who lives in the castle, rumored to be an heir with a lineage to compete with the current ruler of Alzdair Lost.

00:47:26.519 –> 00:47:28.840
And we need to find out if it’s true.

00:47:29.159 –> 00:47:31.719
If it is, this could be a turning point.

00:47:32.039 –> 00:47:41.559
And if we can be his friends, his guardians, we can have a bit more hand in how things go.

00:47:42.360 –> 00:47:44.679
Oh, you can count me in on this one.

00:47:45.639 –> 00:47:50.840
So we’re going to summon demons when we get up on the pillories.

00:47:51.320 –> 00:47:51.800
Really?

00:47:52.280 –> 00:47:53.480
Summon demons?

00:47:53.800 –> 00:47:54.280
Yes.

00:47:54.599 –> 00:47:56.599
We’re each going to summon a succubus.

00:47:56.920 –> 00:47:59.239
Oh, well, that sounds like a party.

00:48:02.199 –> 00:48:04.920
And then what happens?

00:48:05.480 –> 00:48:09.559
Then, mysteriously, we all disappear.

00:48:09.800 –> 00:48:11.719
No one knows where we go.

00:48:12.039 –> 00:48:19.400
And strangely, a new caravan just happens to be leaving Linlithgau with a certain child in tow.

00:48:19.719 –> 00:48:21.880
Okay, can you take me with you?

00:48:22.519 –> 00:48:27.800
We can, but there’s a steep price attached to that.

00:48:28.440 –> 00:48:29.480
What would that be?

00:48:30.039 –> 00:48:40.039
In order to get on trial with us, so that we can get you out of town, you and your friend, points towards Ash, will both have to admit to being assassins.

00:48:41.000 –> 00:48:42.760
Oh, I don’t know if we back this way.

00:48:43.079 –> 00:48:44.360
She smiles at you.

00:48:44.679 –> 00:48:46.199
I knew you’d be game.

00:48:47.079 –> 00:48:49.000
Yeah, insight check, definitely.

00:48:49.239 –> 00:48:50.599
Roll insight.

00:48:52.920 –> 00:48:54.360
This has got to be on a level.

00:48:54.599 –> 00:48:58.440
And if it’s not of a trouble, and there’s nothing happening, what’s going on?

00:48:58.760 –> 00:48:59.239
Wow.

00:48:59.559 –> 00:49:00.599
So much lag.

00:49:01.079 –> 00:49:01.480
It’s terrible.

00:49:01.719 –> 00:49:03.719
You got a ten on your insight.

00:49:04.920 –> 00:49:05.960
Absolutely awful.

00:49:06.280 –> 00:49:08.440
Try reloading the page.

00:49:09.400 –> 00:49:12.760
And you’re not sure if she’s telling the truth or not.

00:49:13.079 –> 00:49:21.159
This could be a real lead on what you’re working on, or it could be the step for a terrible betrayal.

00:49:21.480 –> 00:49:24.679
Yeah, this is in line with what I actually know about the knaves.

00:49:25.000 –> 00:49:25.880
It really is.

00:49:26.199 –> 00:49:29.720
Um it’s the assassin part I’m having trouble with.

00:49:29.960 –> 00:49:31.079
It doesn’t seem like them.

00:49:31.639 –> 00:49:31.960
Okay.

00:49:32.280 –> 00:49:33.880
Yeah, I mean, I don’t know about Ash.

00:49:34.199 –> 00:49:38.679
Ash looks at you and agrees begrudgingly.

00:49:39.639 –> 00:49:43.880
Their trial is going to be held later the same day, or is it going to be tomorrow, you said?

00:49:44.519 –> 00:49:45.880
Later tonight.

00:49:46.199 –> 00:49:48.440
As the sun is setting.

00:49:49.079 –> 00:49:49.400
Okay.

00:49:50.039 –> 00:49:51.559
Are we able to get a good rest then?

00:49:51.720 –> 00:49:52.440
Because we don’t have any.

00:49:53.559 –> 00:49:55.239
Yeah, I’m a little low myself.

00:49:55.480 –> 00:50:03.400
Let me see if I right now I’m down to spells that I can cast without a focus because they took away my instruments.

00:50:03.720 –> 00:50:06.519
I mean, isn’t it early in the morning when we got out the cave?

00:50:06.599 –> 00:50:06.760
Like.

00:50:07.239 –> 00:50:08.920
Yes, so you could still take a long time.

00:50:10.320 –> 00:50:11.599
Rest before night.

00:50:12.480 –> 00:50:13.199
That’d be ideal.

00:50:13.440 –> 00:50:15.599
Plus, we can get some booze in Barker.

00:50:23.280 –> 00:50:25.280
I could probably get this done.

00:50:25.920 –> 00:50:28.159
Um there a guard around?

00:50:29.119 –> 00:50:29.760
There is.

00:50:30.320 –> 00:50:31.039
Okay, good.

00:50:31.440 –> 00:50:33.199
I can’t cast sending, but I can cast charm person.

00:50:33.599 –> 00:50:34.960
Well, charm monster.

00:50:35.599 –> 00:50:36.320
You’re there, guard.

00:50:36.400 –> 00:50:38.800
Isn’t this a boring assignment?

00:50:40.000 –> 00:50:40.880
It looks at you.

00:50:41.039 –> 00:50:42.719
Yeah, but it pays the same.

00:50:43.440 –> 00:50:43.599
Okay.

00:50:44.239 –> 00:50:46.960
Now I’m going to cast charm monster on the guard.

00:50:47.199 –> 00:50:49.039
That’s um what DC?

00:50:49.280 –> 00:50:51.280
DC fifteen wisdom save.

00:50:51.599 –> 00:50:52.079
Alright.

00:50:52.400 –> 00:50:54.239
And my last fourth level spell slid by.

00:50:54.719 –> 00:50:56.960
He fails and is charmed.

00:50:57.280 –> 00:50:57.519
Okay.

00:50:58.000 –> 00:51:02.159
Look, what’s who’s to say we can’t have a little um entertainment down here?

00:51:02.400 –> 00:51:03.679
It’s going to be a long night.

00:51:04.000 –> 00:51:04.639
He looks at you.

00:51:04.719 –> 00:51:06.639
Well, what would you entertain yourself with?

00:51:06.960 –> 00:51:11.519
Alas he gestures to the women around you.

00:51:11.679 –> 00:51:13.599
You have plenty of entertainment in there.

00:51:13.920 –> 00:51:17.440
Oh well, they can’t very well dance without music, can they?

00:51:17.760 –> 00:51:18.719
They’ve taken my loot.

00:51:18.880 –> 00:51:20.639
I was wondering if you could go and get it for me.

00:51:20.960 –> 00:51:22.159
He drops his chin.

00:51:22.239 –> 00:51:25.119
I suppose I could, but you’d have to promise not to leave your cell.

00:51:25.440 –> 00:51:26.639
I don’t have a key.

00:51:27.519 –> 00:51:29.440
Oh, and I think we’re all a bit hungry.

00:51:29.519 –> 00:51:31.199
Maybe you could grab my pack while you’re at it.

00:51:31.679 –> 00:51:33.599
Boy, but you’re going to have to promise me.

00:51:33.920 –> 00:51:37.199
I promise not to leave this cell before you return.

00:51:37.519 –> 00:51:38.960
All right, that sounds good.

00:51:39.280 –> 00:51:41.599
And he begins walking upstairs.

00:51:42.239 –> 00:51:44.000
This lick motherfucker.

00:51:45.840 –> 00:51:50.000
He comes downstairs with your pack and loot, walks over to you.

00:51:50.320 –> 00:51:51.360
Well, here you are.

00:51:52.000 –> 00:51:52.559
Thank you, my friend.

00:51:52.719 –> 00:51:54.239
Handing it to you through the bars.

00:51:54.559 –> 00:51:55.679
What are you going to play?

00:51:55.920 –> 00:51:59.280
He smiles at you, sitting back in a chair by the door.

00:51:59.599 –> 00:52:01.440
Folsom Prison Blues, probably.

00:52:03.039 –> 00:52:05.280
Hello, my name is Scorn.

00:52:09.119 –> 00:52:13.440
Um, and I’ll um I will proceed to play on my loot for a bit.

00:52:14.079 –> 00:52:15.360
Cheer everyone up.

00:52:16.800 –> 00:52:18.800
Uh, slighten as you play.

00:52:20.159 –> 00:52:21.119
What’s next?

00:52:21.440 –> 00:52:22.880
Oh my gosh.

00:52:24.800 –> 00:52:27.920
Are you going to wait or will you act now?

00:52:28.559 –> 00:52:31.599
Yeah, um I’m going to be busy playing.

00:52:31.920 –> 00:52:36.800
Hand my uh hand my loot off to uh Sorch ask her to play for a while.

00:52:37.119 –> 00:52:40.239
She deftly picks it up and begins playing for you.

00:52:40.559 –> 00:52:42.559
Play the guard a lullaby, will you?

00:52:42.880 –> 00:52:43.760
Oh yes.

00:52:44.079 –> 00:52:46.480
Something something soothing.

00:52:48.880 –> 00:52:51.440
Playing a slow and melodious tune.

00:52:51.679 –> 00:52:54.239
I’m gonna wait and see if he looks sleepy at all.

00:52:55.199 –> 00:53:00.159
As she’s playing, you notice her casting a little bit of magic on the guard.

00:53:00.960 –> 00:53:07.360
And you see his eyes slowly fall heavy as he falls into a deep slumber.

00:53:08.079 –> 00:53:09.039
There we are.

00:53:09.599 –> 00:53:13.440
Um yeah now I got my lock picks back.

00:53:13.519 –> 00:53:14.639
They were in my bag.

00:53:15.519 –> 00:53:18.559
So I’m gonna try the uh try the jail.

00:53:18.719 –> 00:53:20.639
Uh try to open the door.

00:53:20.960 –> 00:53:25.360
Alright go ahead and roll with your lockpicks.

00:53:25.599 –> 00:53:26.079
Here we go.

00:53:26.400 –> 00:53:27.599
Oh, this better be good.

00:53:30.159 –> 00:53:38.400
You easily slide the door, the lock open, giving way after just a few clicks and a few deft twists of your tools.

00:53:38.880 –> 00:53:39.519
Right then.

00:53:40.960 –> 00:53:45.280
If you’re determined to go through with this, I’ll be at the square in case anything goes wrong.

00:53:45.599 –> 00:53:46.960
Zorcha looks at you.

00:53:47.199 –> 00:53:48.719
Hand you back your loot.

00:53:49.039 –> 00:53:51.199
Well, I don’t think much will go wrong.

00:53:51.360 –> 00:53:53.360
We’re not actually assassins.

00:53:55.280 –> 00:53:58.960
But summoning a bunch of demons.

00:53:59.280 –> 00:54:01.760
That’s that’s asking for trouble.

00:54:02.079 –> 00:54:04.960
Oh, that’s our favorite kind of trouble.

00:54:05.760 –> 00:54:06.960
Okay, then mine too.

00:54:07.199 –> 00:54:09.039
Um right.

00:54:09.679 –> 00:54:12.159
Okay, Ash, Ash and I are going to get out of there.

00:54:12.480 –> 00:54:13.039
Alright.

00:54:13.679 –> 00:54:17.440
I’m going to leave my lockpicks with her, just in case.

00:54:17.679 –> 00:54:19.760
I trust you have someone here who knows how to use these.

00:54:20.000 –> 00:54:20.960
What’d she say?

00:54:21.280 –> 00:54:24.000
He looks yes, we have someone.

00:54:24.320 –> 00:54:27.360
And she tucks the lockpicks away in a pocket.

00:54:28.000 –> 00:54:29.039
That’s good.

00:54:29.679 –> 00:54:33.119
And Ash and I are going to get out of there.

00:54:33.440 –> 00:54:41.760
As the door to the cell swings open, you begin to hear a ringing like that of a handbell.

00:54:42.079 –> 00:54:49.039
The guard doesn’t pick up, but you hear many feet begin coming rushing down the stairs from above.

00:54:49.360 –> 00:54:50.239
Cool boy.

00:54:50.559 –> 00:54:53.840
Um okay, so uh what?

00:54:54.400 –> 00:54:59.360
Okay, well we need to move as fast as we can, just up the stairs fast as we can.

00:54:59.679 –> 00:55:08.320
As you go running through the hall, up the stairs, you find yourself face to face with guards.

00:55:09.199 –> 00:55:09.840
As they are coming.

00:55:11.400 –> 00:55:11.639
Down.

00:55:11.960 –> 00:55:13.559
Yeah, that’s that’s okay.

00:55:13.800 –> 00:55:16.440
Um we run right up to them.

00:55:16.679 –> 00:55:19.880
I’m going to prepare Thunderstep in advance.

00:55:21.000 –> 00:55:28.360
I’m going to be holding Thunderstep until we are right next to them, and then Ash and I are going to teleport past them and continue running.

00:55:28.679 –> 00:55:34.280
As you cast your spell, you hear the guards cry out and fall to the ground dead.

00:55:36.360 –> 00:55:37.000
Oops.

00:55:37.320 –> 00:55:39.400
And you continue running up.

00:55:39.960 –> 00:55:42.440
You see a large locked chest, and Ash is.

00:55:42.599 –> 00:55:43.639
We got to get my stuff.

00:55:44.599 –> 00:55:46.280
I’ll just grab the chest.

00:55:46.920 –> 00:55:54.920
Ash looks at you with a bit of a glare, grabs the chest, and begins hauling it as you are running.

00:55:55.239 –> 00:55:56.599
He’s pretty strong, isn’t he?

00:55:56.760 –> 00:55:57.880
He’s a fighter.

00:55:59.239 –> 00:56:00.840
I think he can handle it.

00:56:01.159 –> 00:56:01.880
Um yeah.

00:56:02.519 –> 00:56:03.400
Let’s keep going.

00:56:03.559 –> 00:56:05.159
Um we on ground level now.

00:56:05.480 –> 00:56:06.119
Yes.

00:56:06.440 –> 00:56:07.320
Oh good.

00:56:08.199 –> 00:56:12.199
I just gotta get to a window or a door or something where I can see outside.

00:56:12.519 –> 00:56:18.840
You see all the windows have iron bars over them, but you do see a door leading out into the street.

00:56:19.400 –> 00:56:19.880
That’s fine.

00:56:20.119 –> 00:56:20.760
That’s fine.

00:56:21.719 –> 00:56:23.880
If there’s no guards in the way, we make a break for it.

00:56:24.119 –> 00:56:26.519
You get to the door and it’s locked.

00:56:27.320 –> 00:56:29.239
I want to lift source of my lockpicks.

00:56:29.400 –> 00:56:29.719
Okay.

00:56:30.599 –> 00:56:31.480
We go to a window.

00:56:31.800 –> 00:56:33.480
The windows have bars.

00:56:33.800 –> 00:56:34.599
Oh, that’s fine.

00:56:37.880 –> 00:56:43.239
With another sound of rolling thunder, you cast and are out on the street.

00:56:43.559 –> 00:56:53.159
You hear the sound of an alarm in the distance, and you can see people running up the street towards you from the center of town.

00:56:55.000 –> 00:56:56.760
We just need to find a place to hide.

00:56:57.079 –> 00:56:58.599
Like right quick.

00:56:59.079 –> 00:57:03.000
So off the street, onto an alley.

00:57:03.239 –> 00:57:06.519
Do you take the media alley to your left or right?

00:57:07.079 –> 00:57:13.960
Um let’s say to the left you go running down the alley to the left.

00:57:14.280 –> 00:57:28.199
You see on your left there is an open area with stacks of crates and to your right there is another alley leading narrowly deeper and one alley you’re running down continues even further south.

00:57:28.519 –> 00:57:29.559
Stacks of crates.

00:57:29.800 –> 00:57:29.960
Okay.

00:57:30.599 –> 00:57:31.239
That’ll do.

00:57:31.480 –> 00:57:35.800
Can you roll stealth for me or are you going to try to hide somewhere else?

00:57:36.119 –> 00:57:38.039
Yeah, we’re going to hide in the crates.

00:57:38.360 –> 00:57:38.840
I think.

00:57:39.159 –> 00:57:39.480
Yeah.

00:57:39.800 –> 00:57:41.639
Okay, that’s not bad.

00:57:42.840 –> 00:57:49.480
Ash clamber up into the crates, up over a few and hiding down in a large one.

00:57:50.119 –> 00:57:55.079
Maybe end to hear the guards shouting as they run past.

00:57:55.400 –> 00:57:56.920
There’s been a breakout.

00:57:58.119 –> 00:58:01.639
The thieves who stole from the wizard have broken out and killed the guards.

00:58:02.519 –> 00:58:06.840
He was going to get off so easy, but he just added heavy ass charge.

00:58:10.920 –> 00:58:12.760
Yeah, we’ll just post up here.

00:58:13.000 –> 00:58:15.239
And am I well and truly out of.

00:58:15.639 –> 00:58:16.760
Yeah, I am.

00:58:17.719 –> 00:58:18.039
Okay.

00:58:19.000 –> 00:58:30.039
Alright, as you are hiding the rest of you, you have heard several large rolling thunderous explosions coming from the direction of the prison.

00:58:30.360 –> 00:58:42.599
And then you hear guards running from all directions and shouting about how there are rogue tieflings on the loose murderers.

00:58:45.159 –> 00:58:46.440
Those aren’t our guys, right?

00:58:46.679 –> 00:58:47.000
Right?

00:58:47.079 –> 00:58:47.800
It can’t be.

00:58:49.320 –> 00:58:50.760
Those are definitely our guys.

00:58:54.199 –> 00:58:55.639
God damn it.

00:58:56.599 –> 00:59:02.360
Um if it like looks around at the different directions the guards are running towards.

00:59:03.960 –> 00:59:07.800
If scorn were to hide out any of them, where would that be?

00:59:08.280 –> 00:59:08.760
It’s okay.

00:59:08.840 –> 00:59:09.960
I got an idea.

00:59:10.280 –> 00:59:11.239
It might be okay.

00:59:11.559 –> 00:59:23.960
I’m going to try and set up my set up my tea and my leaves and my spell book and cast locate creature and try to locate scorn.

00:59:24.199 –> 00:59:28.760
If he’s in I don’t know if that works on scorn or no, but I’m trying.

00:59:29.320 –> 00:59:31.800
Scorn is for sure as creature.

00:59:32.119 –> 00:59:33.159
Scorn is a creature.

00:59:33.400 –> 00:59:33.960
Yes.

00:59:34.920 –> 00:59:36.519
More than that, I won’t say.

00:59:39.400 –> 00:59:41.239
So I could do that as a ritual, I believe.

00:59:41.400 –> 00:59:42.280
Can I?

00:59:42.920 –> 00:59:49.400
Oh no, I think I’ve just interpreted the spell wrong.

00:59:50.280 –> 00:59:50.920
Never mind.

00:59:51.480 –> 00:59:52.760
It is not a ritual spell.

00:59:52.840 –> 00:59:55.000
It is a fourth level divination spell.

00:59:56.280 –> 00:59:57.320
And are you out of that?

00:59:57.960 –> 00:59:59.159
I don’t have that memorized.

00:59:59.239 –> 00:59:59.559
Forget it.

00:59:59.800 –> 01:00:02.679
Okay, well, that’s what I’d have liked to have done.

01:00:04.920 –> 01:00:05.239
Thanks for watching.

01:00:05.320 –> 01:00:06.920
Oh, I mean, things aren’t.

01:00:07.079 –> 01:00:09.480
Do you have any fourth level spell slots left?

01:00:09.800 –> 01:00:10.920
I do, but I mean, it’s not perfect.

01:00:12.159 –> 01:00:20.079
Prepared, but unless it wasn’t with the spell slots, can I just give you one?

01:00:22.000 –> 01:00:23.199
I didn’t prepare it.

01:00:23.920 –> 01:00:24.320
Damn.

01:00:24.559 –> 01:00:31.519
And there’s no way to let him know where we can find him or no way he can let us know where to find him.

01:00:33.360 –> 01:00:35.840
Darling, do you have any sending spells left?

01:00:37.840 –> 01:00:42.480
If we have had a short rest in that time, would you have gotten any spells back?

01:00:42.800 –> 01:00:45.119
I don’t think clerics get anything back in short rest.

01:00:45.599 –> 01:00:46.159
How do you know?

01:00:46.239 –> 01:00:46.400
Right.

01:00:50.079 –> 01:00:50.639
I see.

01:00:51.599 –> 01:00:56.239
And the broken wand would have been a great place to just go, and he probably would have found his way there.

01:00:57.440 –> 01:01:00.719
Ibid, like, pulls aside a bystander.

01:01:01.360 –> 01:01:02.000
Excuse me.

01:01:02.320 –> 01:01:04.000
Describe the bystander.

01:01:04.320 –> 01:01:05.920
Describe the bystander?

01:01:06.239 –> 01:01:08.719
Yes, what kind of bystander do you grab?

01:01:09.039 –> 01:01:21.360
If it finds a Ipid pulls aside a lawyer in the same area since we seem to be in that district, somebody in a suit and tie or anything like that.

01:01:21.679 –> 01:01:22.960
Uh, excuse me, sir.

01:01:23.119 –> 01:01:24.960
And he stands up with his chest out.

01:01:25.599 –> 01:01:30.719
He looks over at Ipid, who still has blood on his armor from the last battle.

01:01:31.199 –> 01:01:33.360
It gleams like that.

01:01:35.599 –> 01:01:37.760
He looks at you nervously.

01:01:38.400 –> 01:01:42.639
He’s on edge from the recent alarm and the call of murderers.

01:01:42.960 –> 01:01:46.960
Hi, it’s nice to find a fellow Esquire.

01:01:47.599 –> 01:01:48.800
He looks at you.

01:01:49.119 –> 01:01:50.480
Eyes wide.

01:01:50.800 –> 01:01:51.280
Yes.

01:01:51.920 –> 01:01:56.239
Um, what type of cases do you deal in?

01:01:57.199 –> 01:01:58.239
He looks at you.

01:01:59.199 –> 01:02:00.800
Property disputes.

01:02:01.119 –> 01:02:01.760
Damn.

01:02:04.480 –> 01:02:05.119
I was curious.

01:02:05.760 –> 01:02:07.599
I specialize in.

01:02:08.000 –> 01:02:13.519
I specialize in revising deeds and landownership.

01:02:14.719 –> 01:02:16.000
You might be able to help me here.

01:02:16.639 –> 01:02:26.159
I’m sure that you’re well aware of the recent shutdown of the kind of popular, kind of shady, not so popular, broken wand tavern in town, correct?

01:02:26.480 –> 01:02:28.719
Yes, something about murder.

01:02:29.039 –> 01:02:30.000
Yeah, yeah.

01:02:30.480 –> 01:02:36.000
Awful thing, really, you know, to see an establishment go down in such a way just because of something like that.

01:02:38.400 –> 01:02:40.079
Like something like murder.

01:02:40.400 –> 01:02:41.360
Right, exactly.

01:02:41.679 –> 01:02:54.480
Um, some would say statistically that would probably be the go-to place for, um, if you don’t mind me, lack my lack my uh pardon my language, but these Neanderthals of criminal activity.

01:02:55.039 –> 01:03:01.440
Um, what would you say would be the second most popular place for these shady individuals to meet up at?

01:03:01.599 –> 01:03:11.840
As you can see, I’m a lawyer who represents these kind of people, and you know, not to say that more my oral compass aligns with them, but you know, they do bring in money.

01:03:13.039 –> 01:03:14.639
And I’m new to town, you see?

01:03:14.960 –> 01:03:20.320
Um, I used, you know, I’m just trying to find some more clientele here, you know?

01:03:20.960 –> 01:03:22.719
You’ve been roll deception.

01:03:25.199 –> 01:03:25.440
Okay.

01:03:27.199 –> 01:03:27.920
Ugh.

01:03:32.159 –> 01:03:32.639
He looks.

01:03:32.960 –> 01:03:36.000
You’re no sooner a lawyer than I am a farmer.

01:03:36.320 –> 01:03:38.719
Don’t think I don’t know what a sell sword looks like.

01:03:38.800 –> 01:03:40.960
There’s dozens of you around town right now.

01:03:41.280 –> 01:03:43.039
Oh, hey, easy.

01:03:43.360 –> 01:03:47.679
Just because I look like them doesn’t mean I do the same things they do.

01:03:48.000 –> 01:03:49.519
Are you a racist, sir?

01:03:49.679 –> 01:03:51.440
Are you being racist to me?

01:03:52.239 –> 01:03:53.360
He looks at you.

01:03:53.679 –> 01:03:58.079
Sir, you have a sword that is almost as long as you are on your back.

01:03:58.400 –> 01:04:00.559
That is a big fool of a lawyer.

01:04:00.880 –> 01:04:05.039
Look, hey, God, hey, no other man should judge another man’s tool, okay?

01:04:05.199 –> 01:04:06.800
You shouldn’t be coming at me like that.

01:04:08.400 –> 01:04:12.719
It seems like you’re speaking of a place of self-consciousness, okay?

01:04:13.840 –> 01:04:16.480
Listen, all I have is What?

01:04:17.440 –> 01:04:19.199
Could we just have legal revives?

01:04:21.039 –> 01:04:22.719
I just came for a simple question.

01:04:23.280 –> 01:04:26.159
Frime, if I am what I am and what, okay?

01:04:26.480 –> 01:04:28.159
Do you think you can answer that question for me?

01:04:28.480 –> 01:04:33.840
You want the shadiest town, the saving, shadiest tavern in town besides the broken wand?

01:04:34.159 –> 01:04:36.000
Yes, that’s what I just asked you.

01:04:36.320 –> 01:04:38.000
Well, you I don’t know.

01:04:38.320 –> 01:04:41.039
I don’t frequent those kind of establishments.

01:04:44.800 –> 01:04:45.599
You know what?

01:04:45.920 –> 01:04:47.679
I hope your next deed falls through.

01:04:47.840 –> 01:04:49.199
I hope you get screwed over.

01:04:52.000 –> 01:04:54.480
And if it walked back to his group and was like, yeah, he was no.

01:04:58.800 –> 01:05:04.000
Ash and I are going to try and sneak back towards the broken wand, actually.

01:05:05.599 –> 01:05:06.079
You know what?

01:05:06.159 –> 01:05:08.880
I have a feeling we should head back to the broken wand anyway.

01:05:09.039 –> 01:05:11.360
Maybe Scorn might know we should meet him up there.

01:05:13.480 –> 01:05:16.679
You don’t want I was looking at the spells.

01:05:16.840 –> 01:05:22.440
I was looking at the wizard class, and if you complete a short rest, you can swap out a spell.

01:05:22.760 –> 01:05:24.599
So, can I complete a short rest?

01:05:24.679 –> 01:05:25.880
Can I go for a short rest?

01:05:26.199 –> 01:05:30.360
Would you like to take a short rest before searching for Scorn in the city?

01:05:30.679 –> 01:05:33.000
It’s the only way I could do it to find him.

01:05:33.239 –> 01:05:33.559
It might be.

01:05:33.800 –> 01:05:39.559
Well, you would have time for a short rest while Scorn was performing and breaking out.

01:05:40.119 –> 01:05:40.519
There we go.

01:05:41.639 –> 01:05:43.960
Yeah, so that will allow me a test.

01:05:44.519 –> 01:05:51.719
This line that I just put in the forge chat should allow me to swap that for low-key creature.

01:05:53.320 –> 01:05:55.320
Aldric, you’re telling me you could have done this?

01:06:00.599 –> 01:06:01.400
I didn’t want to.

01:06:01.800 –> 01:06:04.360
I just harassed that man for no reason.

01:06:06.440 –> 01:06:08.280
While you were doing that, I was resting.

01:06:11.639 –> 01:06:12.599
It all helps.

01:06:12.840 –> 01:06:13.639
It all helps.

01:06:14.039 –> 01:06:24.440
It’s just Ipid going and harassing people walking up and down the street who look to be of a decent class while Aldric variously studies his spellbook.

01:06:24.760 –> 01:06:25.079
Yeah.

01:06:25.719 –> 01:06:29.159
So if it’s a thousand feet, I don’t know that.

01:06:29.719 –> 01:06:34.760
So once the heat’s off and the guards run past, we’re going to break that chest open.

01:06:35.320 –> 01:06:37.000
Alright, let’s see.

01:06:37.960 –> 01:06:45.000
Aldric, from where you guys are in the street, I’m going to mark that for you in blue.

01:06:46.440 –> 01:06:48.599
You guys are orange.

01:06:49.079 –> 01:06:52.119
The orange is the path that you guys have traveled so far.

01:06:52.440 –> 01:06:53.079
Oh, okay.

01:06:53.400 –> 01:06:55.000
So the blue is where you are.

01:06:55.320 –> 01:07:02.199
And Aldric, as you cast that spell, you detect Scorn hiding in a crate in an alleyway nearby.

01:07:02.519 –> 01:07:03.639
My blue.

01:07:04.920 –> 01:07:08.760
So, yeah, while Ipid’s having that conversation, I’m like.

01:07:09.000 –> 01:07:09.880
Oh, I think I got it.

01:07:10.679 –> 01:07:11.480
I think I’ve got him.

01:07:11.800 –> 01:07:12.679
I think I’ve got him.

01:07:12.920 –> 01:07:13.960
Come on, he’s this way.

01:07:14.280 –> 01:07:15.159
I think I’ve got him.

01:07:15.480 –> 01:07:16.679
Oh, oh, nice.

01:07:17.159 –> 01:07:18.519
Ipid looks back at the lawyer.

01:07:18.840 –> 01:07:21.239
You’re rude and racist, and he follows Aldric.

01:07:24.519 –> 01:07:25.639
Oh, boy.

01:07:27.559 –> 01:07:30.440
Alright, we will head towards the blue dog.

01:07:35.639 –> 01:07:39.239
Would you like to break the chest before Ash tries?

01:07:40.199 –> 01:07:42.519
Ash should try first, I think.

01:07:43.639 –> 01:07:44.440
I guess I could.

01:07:45.239 –> 01:07:47.400
I guess I could take my staff and true strike it.

01:07:47.639 –> 01:07:48.519
Yeah, sure.

01:07:49.079 –> 01:07:55.800
Let me pull up Ash real quick as he tries to bust open the chest.

01:07:58.360 –> 01:08:05.159
He doesn’t do his best, smashing the chest through the side of the crate and out into the alleyway, almost crushing Aldrich.

01:08:05.800 –> 01:08:09.880
But it does smash against a wall on the other side where it breaks open.

01:08:10.199 –> 01:08:11.719
That hinge cracking off.

01:08:12.039 –> 01:08:13.719
Can you just break the lock?

01:08:14.039 –> 01:08:15.559
Um, never mind.

01:08:15.880 –> 01:08:17.479
What the hell are you guys doing?

01:08:18.439 –> 01:08:20.760
Oh, Ash wanted his stuff back, and um.

01:08:21.239 –> 01:08:21.800
Oh my god!

01:08:21.960 –> 01:08:22.520
Scorn!

01:08:24.039 –> 01:08:25.960
Couldn’t charm one of the guards into bringing it to him.

01:08:26.119 –> 01:08:27.399
We gotta do it the hard way.

01:08:27.640 –> 01:08:28.439
Let’s get out of here.

01:08:28.680 –> 01:08:29.960
Ipid’s gonna be scorn.

01:08:31.159 –> 01:08:31.880
Don’t make a scene.

01:08:32.119 –> 01:08:32.760
Stop it.

01:08:34.039 –> 01:08:34.600
What the hell?

01:08:34.680 –> 01:08:35.560
Why are you guys out here?

01:08:35.880 –> 01:08:36.600
Murderer.

01:08:39.479 –> 01:08:40.039
Unfortunately.

01:08:40.600 –> 01:08:49.079
Unfortunately, we had to defend ourselves from a very large number of guards, and they got caught in the back blast.

01:08:49.399 –> 01:08:53.079
If you just stayed in your cell, we would have been able to get you off easy.

01:08:54.680 –> 01:08:57.399
I’m not so sure, but whatever you saying.

01:08:58.359 –> 01:08:59.399
When you get back to.

01:09:00.600 –> 01:09:03.319
I don’t think they found the safe house across from the broken wood.

01:09:03.800 –> 01:09:04.039
Oh.

01:09:04.600 –> 01:09:04.920
Okay.

01:09:05.239 –> 01:09:10.600
Yeah, that probably would have been a that probably would have been a smart place to reconvene.

01:09:12.199 –> 01:09:14.600
How much time have we got before the trial?

01:09:15.319 –> 01:09:16.199
Six hours.

01:09:16.680 –> 01:09:17.000
Beautiful.

01:09:17.720 –> 01:09:18.199
Alright.

01:09:18.840 –> 01:09:20.680
It’s hey, it’s lunchtime.

01:09:22.920 –> 01:09:27.479
Right, let’s see if we can get back to the safe house without getting caught.

01:09:27.800 –> 01:09:29.640
Is this going to be a joint stealth roll?

01:09:31.159 –> 01:09:35.079
This is going to be a stealth roll for Scorn and Ash.

01:09:35.640 –> 01:09:36.039
Huh?

01:09:36.680 –> 01:09:37.479
Guidance.

01:09:37.800 –> 01:09:38.439
Can we?

01:09:38.760 –> 01:09:42.039
Yeah, I was about to say, is there any way we can assist since we’re with them?

01:09:42.359 –> 01:09:42.760
Yes.

01:09:43.079 –> 01:09:46.920
If you guys hide them as they travel through the streets, it can give them advantage.

01:09:47.239 –> 01:09:49.479
Yeah, because I don’t have any spells that would.

01:09:49.960 –> 01:09:51.960
I mean, I’m going to disguise myself.

01:09:52.119 –> 01:09:54.119
I’m going to use disguise self one more time.

01:09:54.760 –> 01:09:57.239
And, um, yeah, I look like a city guard.

01:09:57.479 –> 01:10:01.640
Yeah, and Ipet’s going to do his best to use his large stature to cover Ash up.

01:10:01.960 –> 01:10:05.000
So Ash is just sneaking along with you guys.

01:10:05.560 –> 01:10:08.039
If we’re seen, I’m a city guard.

01:10:08.199 –> 01:10:09.560
I’m taking Ash in.

01:10:09.880 –> 01:10:10.520
Beautiful.

01:10:10.840 –> 01:10:12.520
The good old Chewbacca method.

01:10:16.399 –> 01:10:19.600
Yeah, anybody got any we still got some manacles for him to wear?

01:10:19.840 –> 01:10:21.199
I didn’t think to take any.

01:10:21.520 –> 01:10:22.079
Um no.

01:10:22.960 –> 01:10:24.319
Okay, anybody got anything?

01:10:24.560 –> 01:10:24.800
No?

01:10:25.119 –> 01:10:26.479
Uh we got some rope.

01:10:27.439 –> 01:10:28.319
That’ll work.

01:10:29.199 –> 01:10:29.520
Okay.

01:10:29.840 –> 01:10:33.760
Just don’t actually tie his hands together, but make his look like his hands are tied together.

01:10:34.000 –> 01:10:36.560
I’ve seen the Star Wars play scoring, don’t worry.

01:10:36.880 –> 01:10:37.840
What are you talking about?

01:10:38.479 –> 01:10:39.520
I’ve seen the score.

01:10:41.039 –> 01:10:42.479
You haven’t read that before?

01:10:42.800 –> 01:10:43.520
You haven’t read that?

01:10:43.600 –> 01:10:45.359
Dude, you haven’t read Star Wars?

01:10:47.760 –> 01:10:49.520
Gotta pretend I didn’t hear that.

01:10:51.119 –> 01:10:56.960
Alright, as you sneak your ways through the streets, it is buzzing with the activity of guards.

01:10:57.600 –> 01:11:02.560
You see, most of the common folk have cleared off the streets, and even the vendors are wrapping up.

01:11:03.119 –> 01:11:06.000
While we’re walking, I’ll let everybody know what Sorsha told me.

01:11:06.640 –> 01:11:11.760
Yeah, so can we get a quick summary of that real quick just so that because I was a little bit confused.

01:11:12.880 –> 01:11:13.119
Yeah.

01:11:13.439 –> 01:11:19.520
Um they’re um Sorcere’s part of a group of um information brokers.

01:11:19.840 –> 01:11:21.520
They’re not really assassins.

01:11:21.840 –> 01:11:38.880
Anyway, this is all part of an elaborate distraction while there are other people um look for some information on a certain uh child who lives here, who may or may not be the heir of uh Alistair lost or Alistair of the Lich.

01:11:39.520 –> 01:11:39.840
Yeah.

01:11:40.479 –> 01:11:44.560
Um and they’re planning on spiriting him out of the city.

01:11:44.880 –> 01:11:47.279
What is he is who they think he is?

01:11:47.680 –> 01:11:51.520
They they want to befriend him and help him take back his birthright.

01:11:51.840 –> 01:11:54.239
Oh wow, so the complete opposite of what we want.

01:11:54.560 –> 01:11:56.880
Um well I don’t know.

01:11:57.039 –> 01:12:13.680
Uh didn’t Alistair want uh want that want that kid to take charge and did Alistair lost oh she’s right never mind I got that I got that switched up so I think we actually have the same idea um they’ve already got a plan in motion to get him out of the city.

01:12:14.000 –> 01:12:21.119
I told them that we’re with them and we’d uh we’d like to join them when they leave town.

01:12:21.439 –> 01:12:22.159
Oh, okay.

01:12:22.479 –> 01:12:24.560
Um what are their means of doing this?

01:12:24.880 –> 01:12:25.760
I’m not sure.

01:12:26.000 –> 01:12:30.079
Uh it said something about summoning a bunch of demons when they’re about to be executed.

01:12:30.399 –> 01:12:32.079
It sounds risky as hell.

01:12:32.399 –> 01:12:33.600
I don’t like it.

01:12:33.920 –> 01:12:37.359
Yeah, and it seems like it’s gonna put a lot of people’s lives at risk.

01:12:37.680 –> 01:12:39.359
Succubi to be precise.

01:12:39.680 –> 01:12:40.159
Oh, okay.

01:12:40.720 –> 01:12:42.159
As diversions go, it’s perfect.

01:12:42.479 –> 01:12:47.600
Um so question is where’s the damn caravan gonna be?

01:12:49.840 –> 01:12:51.039
We don’t have enough time.

01:12:51.439 –> 01:12:52.880
Don’t have enough time for any of this.

01:12:53.119 –> 01:12:54.239
It’s moving too quickly.

01:12:54.560 –> 01:13:00.319
So we find the caravan with all stars child and we go out with them.

01:13:01.439 –> 01:13:02.479
Find the caravan.

01:13:02.880 –> 01:13:03.119
Yeah.

01:13:05.279 –> 01:13:08.640
I don’t know, but I’m guessing they’re going to be heading east.

01:13:08.960 –> 01:13:12.960
You know, who actually might have some information on this?

01:13:13.279 –> 01:13:16.079
Might be my old general Varka.

01:13:16.159 –> 01:13:22.560
She was assigned from this town to go deal with the issues in the mountains regarding the giants.

01:13:22.880 –> 01:13:26.399
It seems like they’ve been kind of like a hired helping hand around here.

01:13:26.560 –> 01:13:28.239
They might have some more information.

01:13:28.560 –> 01:13:29.279
I don’t know.

01:13:29.520 –> 01:13:33.119
Uh hopefully there’s someone at the safe house who knows.

01:13:33.439 –> 01:13:34.319
Yes, very true.

01:13:34.960 –> 01:13:36.079
That’s their people.

01:13:36.399 –> 01:13:48.800
So yeah, um gotta get to the safe house Starling put that sheet food down.

01:13:48.880 –> 01:15:13.680
I got your granola bar this better don’t look down You know I don’t I’m not gonna be there giving her lay on hands when she’s up in the middle of the night telling her telling us that her tummy hurts It’ll hurt so good You continue and you find the door to the safe house It is still shut Yeah, I use the secret knock and wait after you knock the door slides open and you see a very somber man with deep-seated eyes and dark glaring face with wrinkles that looks like he hasn’t smiled in at least a decade says get in here now the guards are running a muck what you’re not even gonna wait for the password all right fine let’s go operational security sticks here I have a thought if it’s if you want to go and find Varka I will go with you let’s let’s let’s settle down exactly everything that we have in play here to think of a proper plan before we reach out to what might help us right now well let’s um talk to the user here and

01:15:15.159 –> 01:15:16.039
Yeah, but he knows.

01:15:16.520 –> 01:15:16.680
Yeah.

01:15:17.640 –> 01:15:20.600
So Sorcerer told me about your plan.

01:15:20.920 –> 01:15:21.560
Her plan.

01:15:21.880 –> 01:15:22.439
The plan.

01:15:22.520 –> 01:15:24.119
I don’t even know whose it is.

01:15:25.640 –> 01:15:27.319
I didn’t get all of it, though.

01:15:27.640 –> 01:15:34.119
Are they how are they getting how are they getting from the square to the caravan that’s taking them out of town?

01:15:34.760 –> 01:15:35.560
The women aren’t.

01:15:35.880 –> 01:15:36.119
What?

01:15:36.920 –> 01:15:38.600
But they’re not getting out of town.

01:15:38.920 –> 01:15:41.560
Oh, she said they were going to be there’s going to be a caravan.

01:15:41.880 –> 01:15:44.680
Yes, we’re taking the caravan out of town with the child.

01:15:45.000 –> 01:15:47.159
Ah, then I’ve come to the right place.

01:15:47.479 –> 01:15:48.199
We’ll help you.

01:15:48.520 –> 01:15:48.840
We will?

01:15:49.560 –> 01:15:50.840
How are we getting the child?

01:15:52.600 –> 01:15:58.439
Good question, but plans are in motion already, so someone has figured that out, haven’t they?

01:15:58.680 –> 01:15:59.560
He looks down at you.

01:16:00.039 –> 01:16:06.039
Yes, we know where the child is, and we have just the replacement to swap out for him.

01:16:06.920 –> 01:16:08.039
That’s interesting.

01:16:08.359 –> 01:16:09.560
How old is this child?

01:16:09.880 –> 01:16:12.760
He turned sixteen in three months.

01:16:14.439 –> 01:16:16.279
So you’re putting an imposter in his place.

01:16:16.359 –> 01:16:17.159
That’s good, good.

01:16:17.720 –> 01:16:17.960
Alright.

01:16:18.199 –> 01:16:18.680
Hold on.

01:16:18.840 –> 01:16:19.800
Hold on, hold on, hold on.

01:16:20.119 –> 01:16:23.000
Guys, we’re abducting a child by the sounds of it.

01:16:23.319 –> 01:16:25.239
Oh, we’re helping someone else abduct a child.

01:16:29.560 –> 01:16:33.800
Who is who is who’s taking who is the child in care of?

01:16:33.960 –> 01:16:36.199
Like, who’s who’s taking care of the child?

01:16:37.079 –> 01:16:40.760
He was currently being cared for by his aunt.

01:16:42.039 –> 01:16:46.279
His one of his last remaining associates.

01:16:47.800 –> 01:16:51.800
The rest of his family died in the plague about ten years ago.

01:16:52.119 –> 01:16:53.079
Well, there you are, see?

01:16:53.560 –> 01:16:54.119
We’re helping Alstair.

01:16:55.239 –> 01:17:05.560
His aunt, but from what we’ve been able to find out, she is a woman put in place by the ruler of Alsdair’s lost to make sure he does not claim his birthright.

01:17:06.439 –> 01:17:09.319
Oh, okay, maybe I feel a little better about this one.

01:17:10.359 –> 01:17:12.359
We’re helping him out of a bad situation.

01:17:12.680 –> 01:17:13.319
Totally.

01:17:13.880 –> 01:17:14.039
Yeah.

01:17:14.680 –> 01:17:19.800
Yeah, he’s been living with his stuffy spinster and we’re getting him out on the road where it’s where life is good.

01:17:20.439 –> 01:17:23.159
Does he know he’s related to Alzdair?

01:17:24.760 –> 01:17:25.399
The child?

01:17:25.640 –> 01:17:25.880
No.

01:17:26.119 –> 01:17:27.560
He doesn’t know any of this.

01:17:28.199 –> 01:17:28.520
Okay.

01:17:29.479 –> 01:17:33.560
And Alzare wants him to have the throne of Alzdair.

01:17:33.800 –> 01:17:34.039
Okay.

01:17:34.359 –> 01:17:36.199
So what do you need us to do, sir?

01:17:36.520 –> 01:17:44.359
If you would really like to be helpful, our plan was to flush him out and have someone rescue him.

01:17:45.319 –> 01:17:48.920
If you could be those rescuers, that would be appreciated.

01:17:50.119 –> 01:17:54.279
Man, yeah, I’m really, really, really low on spells right now.

01:17:54.439 –> 01:17:55.399
Oh my gosh.

01:17:55.720 –> 01:17:57.560
Um, when’s this happening?

01:17:59.159 –> 01:18:02.920
In about eight hours after the diversion in the square.

01:18:03.880 –> 01:18:04.199
Okay.

01:18:05.159 –> 01:18:07.000
We need to rest here for a bit.

01:18:08.039 –> 01:18:08.199
Yeah.

01:18:08.439 –> 01:18:11.159
Is there any way we can get in a long rest before this happens?

01:18:11.319 –> 01:18:12.680
Or are we just out of luck?

01:18:13.079 –> 01:18:15.000
Barely, but it will be tight.

01:18:16.920 –> 01:18:17.159
Okay.

01:18:17.720 –> 01:18:23.640
So you will get a long rest, and we’ll take a fifteen-minute break here and pick up at dusk.

01:18:23.960 –> 01:18:24.920
Alright, cool.

01:18:26.760 –> 01:18:27.399
Cool.

01:18:27.720 –> 01:18:28.920
Interesting so far.

01:18:29.479 –> 01:18:30.039
Very.

01:18:31.640 –> 01:18:33.560
We’re gonna kidnap a child.

01:18:33.880 –> 01:18:34.760
Yay, guys.

01:18:38.119 –> 01:18:41.319
If it is morally being tested here.

01:18:44.199 –> 01:18:46.840
It’s not kidnapping him if he doesn’t really live there.

01:18:47.720 –> 01:18:50.520
I was so ready to pull a law and order episode.

01:18:50.680 –> 01:18:52.199
I was ready to say object.

01:18:52.520 –> 01:18:54.760
All that right.

01:18:57.000 –> 01:18:58.600
It’s good to have connections.

01:19:00.119 –> 01:19:01.079
Alright.

01:19:03.960 –> 01:19:07.000
I didn’t know how annoying it would be to play a lawful good.

01:19:09.640 –> 01:19:10.439
I hear you.

01:19:12.359 –> 01:19:17.880
It was so much easier playing a chaotic good bard in the last campaign I played.

01:19:19.159 –> 01:19:20.439
Yeah, that’s what I’m doing now.

01:19:20.520 –> 01:19:21.479
It’s a treat.

01:19:23.319 –> 01:19:34.760
A couple of years ago, I had a lawful neutral character, and right at the start of the campaign, I could see the rest of the party were, you know, a bunch of chaos monkeys.

01:19:35.079 –> 01:19:39.800
And I’m like, yeah, okay, I’m going to retire this one and then bring in somebody who actually fits in with the party.

01:19:41.640 –> 01:19:43.159
I was like, no, I’m not going to be that guy.

01:19:43.479 –> 01:19:44.600
I guess I’m stubborn.

01:19:44.920 –> 01:19:47.000
I now have the perfect cube libra.

01:19:47.960 –> 01:19:49.720
In a while, I kept forgetting the inline juice.

01:19:50.520 –> 01:19:56.039
I have a crap ton of liquor left from the wedding reception, so.

01:19:56.600 –> 01:19:56.920
Oh.

01:19:57.239 –> 01:20:04.199
I’m about two whiskey and cokes in out of forty seven to get rid of everything that I have.

01:20:05.720 –> 01:20:07.640
Sounds like a long-term project.

01:20:09.159 –> 01:20:10.119
Definitely.

01:20:10.760 –> 01:20:14.600
Because I got like the cheap wealth stuff from like Costco.

01:20:16.159 –> 01:20:17.520
So, people could have some drinks.

01:20:17.840 –> 01:20:28.479
So, I still have like a big thing of gyan, host vodka, and I think like a couple of rums that the bartenders I hired like just bought.

01:20:29.119 –> 01:20:31.520
Thankfully, I didn’t have to buy like a real bartender.

01:20:31.680 –> 01:20:37.199
Um, my friend’s brother, he’s into like being a like mixologist and shit like that.

01:20:37.359 –> 01:20:41.840
So, like, he asked him, I was like, Hey, do you think you can um do this for me?

01:20:42.079 –> 01:20:44.079
And then he’s just like, Yeah, no problem, won’t even charge you.

01:20:44.159 –> 01:20:48.159
I’m like, I still gave him like some form of payment.

01:20:48.319 –> 01:20:52.720
He brought he brought some one of his buddies, and they were able to take care of the people for the night.

01:20:52.880 –> 01:20:53.600
So, that was good.

01:20:53.920 –> 01:20:54.720
Kind of roomy, yeah.

01:20:55.119 –> 01:20:55.520
Huh?

01:20:55.840 –> 01:20:57.119
What kind of rum you got?

01:20:57.439 –> 01:21:08.319
Uh, we got like some cheap stuff, they have like a silver rum, and if I could see the brand from here, Largo something, doesn’t ring a bell.

01:21:08.800 –> 01:21:11.039
Yeah, no, this is like that bottom shelf.

01:21:11.439 –> 01:21:12.960
I do like the gold rum, though.

01:21:13.039 –> 01:21:19.680
That was my I got gifted a bottle of Don Julio Don Julio.

01:21:20.479 –> 01:21:21.840
Yeah, I’m drawing a blank on that one.

01:21:22.079 –> 01:21:25.920
The tequila tequila looking, that’s yeah, no.

01:21:26.560 –> 01:21:30.159
I’m more of a I like tequila, so that’s why I was giving it away.

01:21:30.319 –> 01:21:33.600
I don’t touch that stuff, no, tequila’s evil.

01:21:35.760 –> 01:21:48.319
I think the worst types of drunks that I’ve or like the worst type of like nights of drinking that I had was me and my buddies, you know, being a bunch of dumb, recently fresh 21-year-olds.

01:21:48.479 –> 01:21:55.920
We had a we bought like this big thing of crown, and um, some of us were mixing it, some of us were just shooting it.

01:21:56.239 –> 01:22:03.840
And this was probably the worst time I’ve ever gotten drunk because there’s a video of me fully clothes crying in the shower.

01:22:04.720 –> 01:22:05.439
Oh, no!

01:22:10.000 –> 01:22:10.800
Yeah, I’ve been there.

01:22:13.039 –> 01:22:14.319
Look at that chubby guy.

01:22:14.640 –> 01:22:15.680
Look at the camera.

01:22:18.560 –> 01:22:22.159
He’s doing good, he’s settling really nicely.

01:22:22.800 –> 01:22:23.439
Get down now.

01:22:23.680 –> 01:22:25.119
Yeah, he’s a great buddy.

01:22:26.239 –> 01:22:28.720
Funny enough, tequila’s never had me like that.

01:22:29.039 –> 01:22:36.079
I usually have a lot of fun when I drink tequila, but like those darker liquors, I feel like I always have it.

01:22:38.720 –> 01:22:40.079
Yeah, remember 30 years ago.

01:22:40.239 –> 01:22:43.039
Uh, last time I drank tequila, it was bad.

01:22:43.359 –> 01:22:44.239
It was bad.

01:22:44.560 –> 01:22:47.520
Um, we had a um, what was it?

01:22:47.600 –> 01:22:51.760
Which of course it wasn’t, I think it was industrial management case studies.

01:22:52.720 –> 01:23:04.800
They, uh, my classmates got me so drunk the night before the final because they thought they didn’t want me below the curve on the exam, so they got me stinking drunk.

01:23:05.119 –> 01:23:15.439
And when I showed up for class the next day, I was not hungover, I was, in fact, still drunk, and um, they were really pissed about all that wasted effort because I aced it anyway.

01:23:16.079 –> 01:23:20.960
Hell yeah, goddammit, Elliot.

01:23:22.800 –> 01:23:24.479
Last time I ever drank tequila.

01:23:25.359 –> 01:23:34.079
I’ve only had tequila once, and when I did, I woke up in someone else’s bed on the other side of town.

01:23:34.399 –> 01:23:36.000
Hey, you got lucky.

01:23:39.199 –> 01:23:41.199
It depends on how you look, you got lucky.

01:23:41.920 –> 01:23:53.039
I got laid, but also, um, I had one of the most awkward conversations I ever did when a child told me I was the drunk idiot his mom took home.

01:23:57.520 –> 01:24:00.319
Holy shit, I bet you wanted to die in that moment.

01:24:04.720 –> 01:24:06.000
That’s a tequila story.

01:24:06.319 –> 01:24:11.439
Yeah, you see, I didn’t feel like I got lucky that night, I felt like I was part of a bigger pattern.

01:24:12.000 –> 01:24:13.119
I need more information.

01:24:13.439 –> 01:24:18.720
I hope you wore a rubber man, that’s crazy.

01:24:18.880 –> 01:24:25.199
I always hear these crazy drunk tequila stories, but I’m just like, man, like, I shoot that shit with like my friend’s Mexican grandma.

01:24:25.359 –> 01:24:27.199
You know, I think it’s just because I’m brown, honestly.

01:24:29.680 –> 01:24:30.720
I get with tequila.

01:24:30.960 –> 01:24:31.680
Bomb tequila.

01:24:31.760 –> 01:24:32.479
I hate vodka.

01:24:32.640 –> 01:24:33.119
Can’t handle it.

01:24:33.279 –> 01:24:34.079
You don’t like vodka?

01:24:34.239 –> 01:24:36.399
I feel like vodka is like the easiest one.

01:24:36.720 –> 01:24:40.159
Vodka’s the stuff I used to use to clean the heads on my tape deck.

01:24:40.479 –> 01:24:44.960
You know, if I ran out of isopropyl, you know.

01:24:47.199 –> 01:24:48.399
It’s a very good cleaner.

01:24:48.960 –> 01:24:52.319
We used to use vodka for little fire tricks.

01:24:52.960 –> 01:25:08.159
And we would get vodka and we would make spirals and then we would mix a little bit of gunpowder in it and then a little bit of different like, you know, have you ever been to one of those stores that sells the stuff to make fireworks, right?

01:25:08.479 –> 01:25:13.439
They got all sorts of different powders for making the different colors.

01:25:13.760 –> 01:25:15.680
Now, we would get that, mix it in.

01:25:17.159 –> 01:25:20.199
Pretend we were wizards in the parking lot making different patterns.

01:25:21.079 –> 01:25:24.119
We really freaked out an old lady once on accident.

01:25:25.000 –> 01:25:34.600
Because, you know, you see, do you think an old lady that, and then suddenly she sees three guys standing around a big circle chanting, and then there’s different colored flames going everywhere.

01:25:35.399 –> 01:25:36.439
She bought bought me.

01:25:39.000 –> 01:25:42.359
I know damn well she went on Fox News right after that.

01:25:47.640 –> 01:25:48.600
Hi, Yos.

01:25:50.600 –> 01:25:51.960
Speaking of bad decisions.

01:25:52.439 –> 01:25:53.479
Oh, Aldrich’s not back.

01:25:53.560 –> 01:25:54.840
We’ll wait for him to get back.

01:25:56.039 –> 01:25:56.680
Marsh?

01:25:57.000 –> 01:25:57.640
He’s right, though.

01:25:57.720 –> 01:25:59.079
We’ve made bad decisions.

01:26:01.239 –> 01:26:03.319
I can never show my face in Linlitau again.

01:26:04.520 –> 01:26:05.800
Good thing I’ve got this guy’s self.

01:26:08.119 –> 01:26:14.199
I was telling Scorn that it’s hard to play a lawfully good character in all this.

01:26:16.760 –> 01:26:17.239
Really do.

01:26:18.199 –> 01:26:19.960
I have an opinion.

01:26:20.279 –> 01:26:25.960
With the way that Dungeons and Dragons is made, it’s not meant for lawful good people.

01:26:26.680 –> 01:26:29.079
It’s just not meant for lawful good characters.

01:26:29.399 –> 01:26:29.720
Okay.

01:26:30.039 –> 01:26:35.399
Being lawful good imposes more restrictions in the game than anything else.

01:26:36.920 –> 01:26:38.520
Saying, I’m going to be the good guy.

01:26:38.760 –> 01:26:40.520
Yeah, well, you’re not breaking out of jail.

01:26:40.760 –> 01:26:43.399
You’re going to stay there and go get executed.

01:26:44.680 –> 01:26:46.760
Oh, man, I’m going to hire that lawyer.

01:26:52.439 –> 01:26:57.880
I think most games, you kind of have to be a bad person sometimes.

01:26:58.439 –> 01:27:00.840
Certainly have to be flexible morally.

01:27:01.479 –> 01:27:06.439
There has to be times when you’re willing to make a moral compromise to advance what you want.

01:27:06.760 –> 01:27:07.399
Yeah, of course.

01:27:07.560 –> 01:27:08.840
I mean, that’s a given in real life.

01:27:09.239 –> 01:27:17.479
The other game I run, science fiction game doesn’t have alignment in it at all, and the players are just like, so another war crime this week?

01:27:17.640 –> 01:27:17.960
Okay.

01:27:19.479 –> 01:27:30.439
Yeah, I was running a science fiction game a few years ago, and the players had to resolve a big conflict in a mining colony.

01:27:30.760 –> 01:27:39.560
And the way they ended up deciding to do that was to crash Cruiser into the colony, so that way they didn’t have to deal with the conflict anymore.

01:27:40.199 –> 01:27:42.600
Damn, it’s pretty extreme.

01:27:42.920 –> 01:27:44.520
Problem solved.

01:27:45.720 –> 01:27:47.399
They were an extreme bunch.

01:27:48.199 –> 01:27:55.319
I wouldn’t say that they were so much as violent as their idea of a peaceful solution was weapons of mass destruction.

01:27:56.039 –> 01:27:58.520
So the solution comes first, the peace comes after.

01:27:58.840 –> 01:27:59.159
Yeah.

01:27:59.800 –> 01:28:01.079
What are we getting in you?

01:28:04.199 –> 01:28:07.159
Well, it’ll be a while before I can cast meteor somewhere of a titanium.

01:28:07.399 –> 01:28:11.720
Alright, so where we’re at now, you guys are in the safe house.

01:28:12.039 –> 01:28:27.640
Having rested and prepared, the sun is setting, and your contacts are in the pillories, waiting to find out if they will be executed or set free.

01:28:28.600 –> 01:28:30.359
And where do they need us?

01:28:30.600 –> 01:28:32.920
They want us in the square, they want us in the castle.

01:28:33.479 –> 01:28:36.520
They want you to go infiltrate a building.

01:28:37.399 –> 01:28:37.720
Okay.

01:28:38.600 –> 01:28:39.960
That went so well last time.

01:28:41.239 –> 01:28:42.760
We’re going to use another fun color.

01:28:42.840 –> 01:28:44.279
What color do you guys want?

01:28:44.600 –> 01:28:45.000
Green.

01:28:45.159 –> 01:28:45.640
Purple.

01:28:46.520 –> 01:28:46.920
Green.

01:28:51.560 –> 01:28:51.960
Sounds like that.

01:28:52.119 –> 01:28:53.960
Sounds like that Babylon 5 episode.

01:28:54.279 –> 01:28:55.640
You know the purple green.

01:28:57.000 –> 01:28:58.680
Green, purple, green.

01:29:01.239 –> 01:29:05.479
Alright, so there is a sizable manor down here in Misty Field.

01:29:06.279 –> 01:29:11.159
You guys are going to need to go rescue the kid there.

01:29:12.520 –> 01:29:12.760
Okay.

01:29:13.560 –> 01:29:23.720
And so what’s going to happen is first, your associates are going to go in, pillage a bit, and set the building on fire.

01:29:26.279 –> 01:29:26.520
Okay.

01:29:27.159 –> 01:29:34.119
Your job is to go rescue the child and get him out of town without anyone knowing where the kid went.

01:29:34.439 –> 01:29:36.600
Once we get him out of the manor, where do we take him?

01:29:36.920 –> 01:29:43.079
So, there’s going to be a little building on the edge of one of the fields right at the edge here.

01:29:43.880 –> 01:29:50.520
There’s going to be a covered wagon there where you’re going to load up the child and start heading east.

01:29:53.319 –> 01:29:54.439
Are you all ready?

01:29:54.760 –> 01:29:55.800
I’m ready.

01:29:57.399 –> 01:30:02.039
Ibid gets ready for the day and he sadly puts away a couple of ties that he had ready.

01:30:03.000 –> 01:30:03.399
Another day.

01:30:07.560 –> 01:30:08.520
Hey, Jarma.

01:30:09.479 –> 01:30:09.960
Don’t worry.

01:30:10.119 –> 01:30:12.600
Ibid will have his chance for legal battles.

01:30:15.720 –> 01:30:16.920
Ah, yes, human trafficking.

01:30:18.720 –> 01:30:21.439
Oh my sense.

01:30:21.840 –> 01:30:22.640
Oh no.

01:30:23.520 –> 01:30:32.319
By the way, guys, I got a thousand from Raymond about this god creature we killed.

01:30:33.119 –> 01:30:33.600
Excellent.

01:30:34.399 –> 01:30:37.359
So you were going to do that up after they executed me.

01:30:40.239 –> 01:30:41.119
I was kidding.

01:30:43.439 –> 01:30:44.720
What time do we need to go?

01:30:46.000 –> 01:30:48.319
Yeah, how long do we have till we oh like now?

01:30:48.640 –> 01:30:49.680
We need to do it now.

01:30:50.239 –> 01:30:51.279
Time is short.

01:30:51.600 –> 01:30:52.000
Damn.

01:30:52.079 –> 01:30:52.960
I wasn’t able to speak.

01:30:54.000 –> 01:30:55.279
Do you want it now or do you want it later?

01:30:55.600 –> 01:30:56.159
The gold.

01:30:56.479 –> 01:30:56.880
Later.

01:30:57.119 –> 01:30:57.760
Later, fine.

01:30:57.840 –> 01:30:57.920
Fine.

01:30:58.479 –> 01:30:59.359
Later’s fine.

01:31:00.319 –> 01:31:01.199
Alright.

01:31:01.520 –> 01:31:16.479
As you are walking through the square on your way to the building, you see the eight women and Sorcha lined up in pillaries, and next to them stands an executioner with a sword seven feet long.

01:31:17.119 –> 01:31:19.520
You know, if I represented them, you probably wouldn’t be there.

01:31:20.159 –> 01:31:20.640
But whatever.

01:31:20.880 –> 01:31:24.800
Gonna see if I can cast a message surreptitiously to Sorcha.

01:31:25.119 –> 01:31:25.840
So we go by.

01:31:26.239 –> 01:31:27.520
What do you cast?

01:31:28.239 –> 01:31:28.560
Message.

01:31:28.960 –> 01:31:29.760
What do you say?

01:31:31.119 –> 01:31:32.960
Are you sure you’ve got this?

01:31:33.279 –> 01:31:34.479
I’m here if you need me.

01:31:34.720 –> 01:31:36.319
Sorcha sends back.

01:31:36.640 –> 01:31:37.279
Don’t worry.

01:31:37.520 –> 01:31:38.560
It’s all the plan.

01:31:38.720 –> 01:31:40.399
The man with the sword is one of ours.

01:31:41.520 –> 01:31:46.239
So if things go bad enough, they say we get executed and we don’t.

01:31:46.800 –> 01:31:47.760
I’m gonna leave it at that.

01:31:47.920 –> 01:31:49.119
I’m not gonna cast again.

01:31:49.680 –> 01:31:51.600
I accept her reply and I move on.

01:31:51.920 –> 01:31:59.119
As you continue down the streets, they are surging towards the center square with almost festival atmosphere.

01:31:59.439 –> 01:32:03.439
People are excited, laughing, dancing in the streets.

01:32:04.079 –> 01:32:09.199
There are vendors coming out selling goods, trinkets, and all sorts of foods.

01:32:09.520 –> 01:32:13.920
And it gets much quieter as you step away from the main streets.

01:32:14.239 –> 01:32:18.399
On these quiet side streets, you see no one.

01:32:21.039 –> 01:32:31.920
As you approach the large building that houses this child, you see lights flickering inside, and you smell smoke.

01:32:32.800 –> 01:32:33.760
It’s already going up.

01:32:34.000 –> 01:32:34.720
We’re too late.

01:32:35.199 –> 01:32:35.920
We’re not too late.

01:32:36.000 –> 01:32:37.359
We’re just in time.

01:32:37.680 –> 01:32:39.680
Um we gotta get in there.

01:32:40.880 –> 01:32:42.079
Do we see the front door?

01:32:42.319 –> 01:32:43.119
Is there anybody coming out?

01:32:47.600 –> 01:32:59.680
Alright, uh I know that our main call our main person to help is the child and that’s a given, but uh you know we want to make sure nobody here gets too hurt, right?

01:32:59.920 –> 01:33:02.239
I’m not sure about the ant, but yes.

01:33:02.560 –> 01:33:02.720
Okay.

01:33:05.199 –> 01:33:08.640
As you step inside, you don’t see anyone.

01:33:08.960 –> 01:33:15.119
It feels warm, the heat from the fires burning in the back of the building, rushing out the front door.

01:33:16.399 –> 01:33:19.520
And you hear the sound of a woman yelling upstairs.

01:33:21.039 –> 01:33:21.279
Okay.

01:33:22.560 –> 01:33:24.960
Uh let’s go.

01:33:25.279 –> 01:33:25.840
Okay, yeah.

01:33:26.079 –> 01:33:26.800
We’re here to help.

01:33:26.960 –> 01:33:27.760
Anybody here?

01:33:28.079 –> 01:33:29.600
Shout so we can find you.

01:33:29.920 –> 01:34:35.520
Replies as you run up the stairs, the shouting gets louder, and you hear the warm man yelling No, you can’t leave Okay, I guess we follow the voice As you follow the voice you enter a large bedroom where you see a young man the child you are looking for standing on one side leaning against a window looking like he is about to jump and standing in front of him you see a woman with a dagger shouting at him No you have to stay even if you burn sleep Yeah cast charm monster on the woman Oh that’s your spell goes to no effect She takes a step closer to the boy I won’t let you leave I know what’ll happen if you do Hey easy nobody okay nobody has to go anywhere let’s just get out of the burning building okay she turns around points with the knife at you tears streaking down her face No he can’t leave why you want this kid to die in this fire?

01:34:35.680 –> 01:34:37.439
We’re here to help you guys.

01:34:37.760 –> 01:34:38.800
No, don’t you see?

01:34:39.119 –> 01:34:46.960
Here’s the seed of chaos Here’s the great unraveling She rants as she waves the knife about He just looks like a kid.

01:34:47.039 –> 01:34:48.000
What are you talking about?

01:34:48.319 –> 01:34:49.840
She points the dagger at him.

01:34:50.079 –> 01:34:51.840
He is the beginning of the end.

01:34:52.159 –> 01:34:53.760
I’ve seen it in my visions.

01:34:54.079 –> 01:34:55.359
We don’t know what’s coming.

01:34:55.680 –> 01:35:03.359
Ipid in this moment of the dagger being pointed away from us and at him, Ibid’s gonna charge her and get a hold of her arm.

01:35:04.159 –> 01:35:06.239
Roll strength to grapple her.

01:35:06.560 –> 01:35:07.199
See less.

01:35:07.920 –> 01:35:09.359
That’s a twenty-five baby.

01:35:09.840 –> 01:35:10.159
Why?

01:35:11.520 –> 01:35:14.000
I think I tackle her a little too hard.

01:35:17.199 –> 01:35:17.520
Wow.

01:35:19.159 –> 01:35:25.720
So, since you both rolled a twenty, you’re going back, neither of you making any progress as you’re trying to grapple her.

01:35:26.039 –> 01:35:28.920
She has the knife and is trying to stab you.

01:35:29.800 –> 01:35:32.279
Back and forth, you’re pushing your arms.

01:35:32.920 –> 01:35:36.279
Guys, you’re three inches away from your eyes.

01:35:37.560 –> 01:35:38.359
Guys, she’s covering.

01:35:41.800 –> 01:35:43.800
Nobody needs to die here, ma’am.

01:35:45.640 –> 01:35:46.760
What do we do?

01:35:47.720 –> 01:35:54.199
Um, well, you hear the rush of the fire come closer.

01:35:54.840 –> 01:35:56.279
Okay, I’ve got it.

01:35:57.880 –> 01:36:04.119
Um, I’m going to, uh, I’m going to go over and see if I can get myself between her and the boy.

01:36:04.439 –> 01:36:05.479
Yes, I’m busy with her.

01:36:05.640 –> 01:36:07.800
You guys try to figure out how to get the kid out of here.

01:36:08.119 –> 01:36:13.479
All right, you walk around and you’re positioned in between the woman and Ipid and the boy.

01:36:14.439 –> 01:36:16.199
I don’t know if I want to be between her and Ipid.

01:36:16.359 –> 01:36:17.079
They’re grappling.

01:36:17.319 –> 01:36:20.840
No, Ipid and the woman are over there, and you are between them and the boy.

01:36:21.239 –> 01:36:22.119
I misunderstood.

01:36:22.520 –> 01:36:23.000
That’s great.

01:36:23.239 –> 01:36:23.479
Okay.

01:36:23.960 –> 01:36:26.680
Um, yeah, I need to cast darkness.

01:36:27.319 –> 01:36:27.960
All right.

01:36:28.279 –> 01:36:32.199
The room goes dark, and so we’re all plunged into magical darkness.

01:36:32.520 –> 01:36:34.279
What’s the plan here, Scorn?

01:36:34.760 –> 01:36:40.760
Uh scorn casts uh disguised self, so he looks like the boy.

01:36:43.640 –> 01:36:46.039
Hey, Starling, can you see in the dark?

01:36:47.000 –> 01:36:48.199
Or can no one see?

01:36:48.520 –> 01:36:49.319
Yeah, I can see.

01:36:49.560 –> 01:36:51.079
I can see a magical darkness.

01:36:51.319 –> 01:36:51.880
Excellent.

01:36:52.119 –> 01:36:58.359
So, um, in Elvish, he says, Starling, get this boy out of here.

01:36:58.680 –> 01:36:59.479
I’ve got this.

01:36:59.800 –> 01:37:00.039
Okay.

01:37:00.359 –> 01:37:08.359
Starling’s gonna cast sleep on the boy and the woman, or at least attempt to cast her the woman since she’s superhuman, so it seems.

01:37:08.680 –> 01:37:10.279
DC 15 saving through.

01:37:11.640 –> 01:37:14.680
Does she would she do that with disadvantage since she’s busy with me?

01:37:15.000 –> 01:37:15.880
That is awesome.

01:37:16.039 –> 01:37:16.760
I love that.

01:37:17.079 –> 01:37:17.319
No.

01:37:17.880 –> 01:37:18.439
Damn.

01:37:19.720 –> 01:37:25.800
But she fails anyway, as you feel her fall unconscious while struggling against you.

01:37:27.000 –> 01:37:31.800
Ipid in pure darkness feels her go limp and he shoves her to the ground.

01:37:35.640 –> 01:37:37.319
Ipid, make a strength check.

01:37:37.640 –> 01:37:38.279
Oh, God.

01:37:41.720 –> 01:37:43.560
The boy is also unconscious.

01:37:43.880 –> 01:37:44.920
That’s a 17.

01:37:46.119 –> 01:37:49.880
As you shove her to the headground, you hear her fall with a loud thump.

01:37:52.760 –> 01:37:54.119
And I’m like, boom!

01:37:58.920 –> 01:37:59.800
Guys, what’s going on?

01:37:59.880 –> 01:38:01.079
I can’t see anything.

01:38:01.399 –> 01:38:10.279
She just reminds me of like a ghost or like something in a horror graveling the giant dragon man.

01:38:21.000 –> 01:38:23.319
Flames continue to advance.

01:38:23.640 –> 01:38:23.960
Alright.

01:38:24.279 –> 01:38:25.479
He’s going to carry the boy.

01:38:25.720 –> 01:38:26.760
Just get out of here.

01:38:27.079 –> 01:38:27.960
Sorry, that’s my sleep.

01:38:28.119 –> 01:38:29.560
I have to put it somewhere.

01:38:31.960 –> 01:38:35.399
I think we can make a run for the window that he was about to.

01:38:36.039 –> 01:38:37.000
I can’t see.

01:38:37.319 –> 01:38:38.199
Someone guide us.

01:38:38.439 –> 01:38:41.479
Well, if it says that, he’s going to pick the woman up and put him over his.

01:38:44.119 –> 01:38:46.039
We don’t have to take her, but I’m not leaving her in the bill.

01:38:46.920 –> 01:38:47.560
Sorry, Shor.

01:38:52.520 –> 01:38:52.840
See?

01:38:53.319 –> 01:38:55.800
Yeah, is there any way you could stop the darkness right now?

01:38:56.119 –> 01:39:00.199
I could, but then she’ll see that somebody is impersonating the boy.

01:39:00.520 –> 01:39:01.239
Bro, she’s asleep.

01:39:01.560 –> 01:39:02.279
She’s asleep right now.

01:39:02.520 –> 01:39:03.079
Oh, that’s right.

01:39:04.039 –> 01:39:04.760
I’m a dork.

01:39:05.079 –> 01:39:05.159
Yeah.

01:39:05.399 –> 01:39:05.800
And then I dropped it.

01:39:05.880 –> 01:39:07.800
I threw her to the ground.

01:39:08.920 –> 01:39:13.239
When I hear the struggle, stop, I’ll go into Squelch in the Darkness.

01:39:13.399 –> 01:39:14.359
That’s fine.

01:39:15.000 –> 01:39:17.880
How does the scene look now that everything’s cleared up?

01:39:18.279 –> 01:39:23.640
You can see the fire has made it most of the way down the hallway and has almost reached the room you were in.

01:39:24.600 –> 01:39:25.319
That’s fine.

01:39:25.640 –> 01:39:28.359
Um, get the boy out of here.

01:39:28.520 –> 01:39:29.720
I’ll take care of this one.

01:39:30.039 –> 01:39:44.840
I’m just gonna pick the boy up and put him on my shoulder and then fly out the window if it’s like in the Incredibles when he grabs the person out of the burning building, he’s gonna put the lady over your shoulder.

01:39:44.920 –> 01:39:46.920
He’s just like, guys, let’s get the hell out of here.

01:39:48.520 –> 01:39:50.680
All right, 25-foot fall.

01:39:50.760 –> 01:39:53.079
You’re gonna need to make an athletics check for that jump.

01:39:53.720 –> 01:39:54.520
Ipid, right?

01:39:54.840 –> 01:39:56.439
I mean, Aldrich, are you now?

01:39:56.920 –> 01:39:59.319
Are you gonna stay in the burning building?

01:39:59.960 –> 01:40:03.640
No, no, Aldrich’s prepared fly.

01:40:03.720 –> 01:40:05.000
He’s gonna cast fly and fly off.

01:40:05.399 –> 01:40:05.880
Oh, wow.

01:40:06.039 –> 01:40:06.359
Okay.

01:40:09.880 –> 01:40:11.720
Oh, 25, baby.

01:40:13.000 –> 01:40:14.760
Do you take the woman with you, Ipid?

01:40:15.000 –> 01:40:16.439
Hell yeah, I took the woman with me.

01:40:17.399 –> 01:40:18.840
Alright, you leap out of the window.

01:40:20.399 –> 01:40:25.920
Carrying the woman and land firmly on the ground, not budging an inch.

01:40:26.239 –> 01:40:29.039
You feel the cobblestone crack underneath you.

01:40:29.359 –> 01:40:30.479
God, it’s so cool.

01:40:31.439 –> 01:40:46.159
If it looks back at the burning building, and with the lady in his arms, he’s just gonna like at a safe distance, he would try, just safely place her against the ground, and just like grab some leaves and put them on her face.

01:40:49.920 –> 01:40:52.960
So, like, she’s still, she’s, you know, she stays asleep.

01:40:53.119 –> 01:40:53.920
Whatever it is.

01:40:55.520 –> 01:40:57.279
We got the kid, let’s go.

01:41:00.159 –> 01:41:01.119
Where’s Scorn?

01:41:01.439 –> 01:41:03.439
Scorn’s going out the way he came in.

01:41:05.760 –> 01:41:07.680
There’s a bunch of fire on the way, though.

01:41:08.239 –> 01:41:11.680
I would rather go walk through the fire than jump out of that window.

01:41:12.000 –> 01:41:13.119
I would teach you.

01:41:14.479 –> 01:41:17.199
You’re going to take two D6 fire damage.

01:41:17.520 –> 01:41:18.560
Oh, okay.

01:41:20.319 –> 01:41:22.479
I take one because I’m fire assistant.

01:41:23.119 –> 01:41:25.199
I’m about to say, you’re not immune to fire.

01:41:26.239 –> 01:41:28.479
I told you the fire is safer than the jump.

01:41:29.119 –> 01:41:35.760
So after all of you leap out of the window and fly, you see Scorn walking out a little mildly scorched.

01:41:37.039 –> 01:41:38.479
A few embers on him.

01:41:39.199 –> 01:41:42.159
If they shout at the window, Scorn, get out, get Scorn?

01:41:42.319 –> 01:41:42.560
What the?

01:41:43.199 –> 01:41:46.159
Scorn, it’s Scorn disguised as the boy.

01:41:46.800 –> 01:41:47.279
Yes.

01:41:48.560 –> 01:41:50.159
He’s like, putting this next to the boy.

01:41:50.560 –> 01:41:52.399
Get the kid out of here before she wakes up.

01:41:52.640 –> 01:41:53.920
I’ll convince her that he’s still here.

01:41:54.239 –> 01:41:56.319
Oh, yeah, because the kid’s still asleep, right?

01:41:56.640 –> 01:41:56.880
Yeah.

01:41:57.520 –> 01:41:59.680
I mean, do we have to convince her of anything?

01:41:59.840 –> 01:42:01.439
She just went to sleep and the kid’s gone.

01:42:02.800 –> 01:42:03.119
Yeah.

01:42:03.439 –> 01:42:03.840
That’s okay.

01:42:04.000 –> 01:42:04.159
Okay.

01:42:06.640 –> 01:42:10.079
Alright, so who heads with the childs towards the rendezvous?

01:42:10.399 –> 01:42:12.399
I guess all of us mine is Scorn, right?

01:42:12.720 –> 01:42:14.640
As soon as they’re out of sight, I’ll go catch up with them.

01:42:14.720 –> 01:42:16.640
I just want to see if she wakes up first.

01:42:16.880 –> 01:42:18.239
How long does it sleep less?

01:42:18.720 –> 01:42:20.479
She is not waking up.

01:42:21.039 –> 01:42:21.359
Good.

01:42:21.520 –> 01:42:22.319
She’s possessed.

01:42:22.560 –> 01:42:24.000
Something is wrong with her.

01:42:24.880 –> 01:42:25.439
Yeah, dude.

01:42:25.680 –> 01:42:30.479
Like, I don’t want to brag, but I shouldn’t have struggled that much against her.

01:42:38.079 –> 01:42:41.520
She’s hanging for me with the Annabelle doll or something.

01:42:43.439 –> 01:42:45.439
You make your way out of town.

01:42:47.840 –> 01:42:53.920
And as you do, you see a number of Dragonborn gathered around a wagon.

01:42:56.239 –> 01:42:57.920
Your guys, Ipid, is it?

01:42:58.239 –> 01:42:58.479
Yeah.

01:42:58.720 –> 01:43:01.760
So are we, are we on the outskirts of town, you said, or are we on our way out of?

01:43:02.000 –> 01:43:04.079
You’re on the outskirts of town now.

01:43:05.039 –> 01:43:07.439
I’m just going to look aside and like.

01:43:07.920 –> 01:43:10.960
Guys, I know this isn’t part of the plan, but can you guys give me a moment?

01:43:12.239 –> 01:43:14.079
I need to talk to these people.

01:43:14.560 –> 01:43:14.720
Sure.

01:43:15.359 –> 01:43:16.000
Of course.

01:43:16.319 –> 01:43:20.880
Ipid sort of like splits off and he heads towards the group of Dragonborn.

01:43:21.199 –> 01:43:27.760
As you head towards the group of Dragonborn, you see them talking all around one in particular.

01:43:28.399 –> 01:43:31.359
You hear them mentioning that it was a brutal fight.

01:43:31.680 –> 01:43:33.359
Many didn’t make it.

01:43:33.680 –> 01:43:36.319
And those who did came out very injured.

01:43:36.640 –> 01:43:39.920
Ipid sort of like pushing against the Dragonborns.

01:43:40.000 –> 01:43:42.800
He’s speaking in Draconic, saying, Excuse me, pardon me.

01:43:43.039 –> 01:43:47.359
And then he makes his way to the center of whatever they’re speaking to.

01:43:47.680 –> 01:43:52.880
In the center of there, you see Varka, and she has been brutally wounded.

01:43:54.800 –> 01:44:02.479
You see where she’s missing her right arm, and her leg looks bent and has been put in a splint.

01:44:03.359 –> 01:44:04.239
Good lord.

01:44:04.560 –> 01:44:13.039
Ipid’s going to quickly run up to Varka and gently place his hand on her casting lay on hands.

01:44:13.359 –> 01:44:14.640
He’ll give her like ten.

01:44:14.960 –> 01:44:15.760
She looks at you.

01:44:15.840 –> 01:44:18.640
If it says, oh, that’s not going to help now.

01:44:20.159 –> 01:44:27.600
He’s like, and then he says, before even like looking at her in the eyes, because he’s sort of just prioritizing her wounds.

01:44:27.680 –> 01:44:30.800
He’s like, you know, I mean, anything helps.

01:44:30.960 –> 01:44:32.640
And he looks up at her.

01:44:34.239 –> 01:44:36.479
She looks down at you with one eye.

01:44:36.800 –> 01:44:39.439
Well, Ipid, it’s been a while.

01:44:39.760 –> 01:44:41.039
Yeah, it has.

01:44:42.319 –> 01:44:44.239
Seems like you had a rough time up there.

01:44:44.560 –> 01:44:47.680
She gestures to the missing arm and the eye and the leg.

01:44:48.000 –> 01:44:50.000
Well, you’re doing better than I am.

01:44:52.800 –> 01:44:55.439
You know, honestly, I can’t think.

01:44:57.439 –> 01:45:02.239
You’re the one who’s taught me to sort of stay on my feet properly and keep my wits about.

01:45:02.560 –> 01:45:06.000
Well, it’s hard to stay on your feet when an arm giant rips your arm off.

01:45:06.640 –> 01:45:12.560
I heard about what happened to the Delmere tribe and what you are trying to do for Linlithgow.

01:45:13.039 –> 01:45:14.319
What was the outcome?

01:45:14.960 –> 01:45:16.479
Are there still more giants up there?

01:45:16.640 –> 01:45:18.720
Like, did you guys have to flee last minute?

01:45:18.880 –> 01:45:19.199
What happened?

01:45:19.520 –> 01:45:19.840
We put.

01:45:21.239 –> 01:45:23.399
Down the giants barely.

01:45:23.720 –> 01:45:26.680
It took two of us down for every one of them.

01:45:28.520 –> 01:45:31.880
She gestures to a group of about ten dragon born.

01:45:32.359 –> 01:45:36.600
These are who’s left, and you see none of them have escaped injury.

01:45:37.479 –> 01:45:41.880
Broken limbs, deep cuts, bent, damaged armor.

01:45:42.199 –> 01:45:47.960
Look, I understand that you guys are going to stay in Linlithgau for the most part.

01:45:48.119 –> 01:45:49.560
I hear that you guys have been hired.

01:45:49.880 –> 01:45:58.439
My strongest suggestion is to stay in the outskirts of town, defend this place, don’t head into the mountains.

01:45:58.760 –> 01:46:00.279
Not for a while.

01:46:00.600 –> 01:46:09.399
I’m trying to work something out that hopefully can help both Linlithgau, Melrose, and any surrounding towns of the mountains with the current issue with the giants.

01:46:09.720 –> 01:46:10.920
She laughs at you.

01:46:12.520 –> 01:46:13.880
Oh, we’re not staying.

01:46:15.000 –> 01:46:15.960
Where are you guys headed?

01:46:16.199 –> 01:46:17.880
We’re headed to the crossroads.

01:46:18.199 –> 01:46:20.520
It’s going to be a long journey, but we can make it.

01:46:20.840 –> 01:46:25.960
Speaking of that, I heard that after the collapse we were all scattered.

01:46:26.279 –> 01:46:31.640
Look, I know you and I left in some pretty ill ways.

01:46:31.960 –> 01:46:44.760
Uh and you know, I hate that the last time we spoke it was in screaming and curses and argument, but I need you to see if do you know anything about my mother?

01:46:45.000 –> 01:46:49.560
She was the only person that I had left there before I left, and I don’t know where she is.

01:46:49.720 –> 01:46:50.760
I thought she would be there.

01:46:51.159 –> 01:46:52.439
He looks at you, Ipid.

01:46:52.760 –> 01:46:55.159
Well, she made it to the crossroads.

01:46:55.239 –> 01:46:57.560
I can’t speak for anything past that.

01:46:58.760 –> 01:47:01.399
Ibid like breathes a sigh of relief.

01:47:01.720 –> 01:47:03.159
Okay, so okay.

01:47:03.720 –> 01:47:04.760
She made it out, okay.

01:47:05.079 –> 01:47:06.600
When was the last time you saw her?

01:47:06.920 –> 01:47:09.960
Oh, several months ago before we headed to Lithengau.

01:47:10.279 –> 01:47:14.199
See, we left the crossroads looking for work in a hurry.

01:47:14.520 –> 01:47:22.520
Hearing of giant battles, we headed to Linlithgau for good work, and it proved to be too much for us.

01:47:22.840 –> 01:47:27.960
Well, by the looks of it, you gave it your all, and that’s all you could do, you know.

01:47:29.239 –> 01:47:30.680
We shouldn’t have done this.

01:47:31.000 –> 01:47:33.560
This isn’t the same as fighting for our homeland.

01:47:33.880 –> 01:47:37.800
This is going and dying for a few pieces of bloody gold.

01:47:38.119 –> 01:47:39.560
It’s not worth it.

01:47:40.199 –> 01:47:44.600
I feel like it has to be more than just the gold, Marka.

01:47:44.920 –> 01:47:47.880
It has to be the belief in, you know.

01:47:48.199 –> 01:47:53.399
We believed in something back at the tribe, and that’s what drove us to be strong.

01:47:53.720 –> 01:47:59.000
This isn’t a way for warriors like us to defend those.

01:47:59.560 –> 01:48:06.119
I mean, you know, you guys mean well, but at the end of the day, it’s for the money, with the things that drive you guys.

01:48:06.279 –> 01:48:07.479
It should be more than that.

01:48:07.800 –> 01:48:10.600
She looks no, not like warriors like us.

01:48:10.920 –> 01:48:13.720
She looks around to the beaten group around her.

01:48:14.039 –> 01:48:16.039
We aren’t warriors anymore.

01:48:17.000 –> 01:48:22.920
Well, thank you for the information about my mother, and I really hope that you guys get to the Crooked Cross Roads safely.

01:48:23.239 –> 01:48:24.439
But um, yeah.

01:48:25.000 –> 01:48:26.119
Where are you headed?

01:48:26.439 –> 01:48:27.319
What are you doing?

01:48:27.960 –> 01:48:48.920
I’ve been, I mean, I’d left the tribe to look for my brother, Dulcin, and um I’ve yet to come across him, but I’ve seem to have gotten myself into the whole affair in regards to cults and issues regarding the safety of the world, you know, typical adventurer stuff.

01:48:49.880 –> 01:48:54.920
Um everyone tells the adventurers it’s about the fate of the world.

01:48:55.640 –> 01:48:56.199
She looks around.

01:48:56.439 –> 01:48:58.119
That’s what they told us.

01:48:59.079 –> 01:49:14.920
I found a good group of people here, and I won’t lie, I’ve been tested very greatly, but I can’t help but feel like I wouldn’t have made it this far if it wasn’t thanks for what you and the Delmere people were able to teach me.

01:49:15.239 –> 01:49:18.359
That’s good, but you should get on the road.

01:49:18.680 –> 01:49:21.399
I’m sorry if we didn’t see anything eye to eye, Bark.

01:49:21.800 –> 01:49:25.079
You know, I had to leave for my own reasons, and I still stand by that.

01:49:26.920 –> 01:49:31.239
We all had to leave one way or another, and she sits down.

01:49:31.560 –> 01:49:40.119
Ipid takes out his um shoulder plate that he had, always just stored away, and he hands it to Varka.

01:49:40.359 –> 01:49:45.079
If you see my mother, tell her to just hold on tight for a little longer, if you could.

01:49:45.399 –> 01:49:46.199
She looks at you.

01:49:46.680 –> 01:49:50.279
Well, don’t die between now and whenever you get back.

01:49:52.520 –> 01:49:53.880
I don’t plan on it.

01:49:54.199 –> 01:50:00.119
And um Ipid gives her a salute and a draconic farewell.

01:50:00.439 –> 01:50:02.439
As you walk away, you hear her shout.

01:50:02.760 –> 01:50:05.239
Your brother he’s in Jedburg.

01:50:06.760 –> 01:50:07.800
How do you know this?

01:50:08.119 –> 01:50:11.239
She looks at you, and she doesn’t answer.

01:50:12.199 –> 01:50:20.119
Ibid’s like, okay I’ll make note of that.

01:50:20.279 –> 01:50:20.760
Thank you.

01:50:23.039 –> 01:50:27.760
And as the lot of you get back on the road, you approach a wagon.

01:50:28.079 –> 01:50:42.159
Inside this covered wagon, you see it has been loaded with supplies, has a horse mounted to it, and there is no one within but a note stabbed to the bench with a knife.

01:50:43.119 –> 01:50:43.920
What’s it say?

01:50:44.159 –> 01:50:49.920
The note says Scorn, the things didn’t go to according to plan.

01:50:50.560 –> 01:50:53.920
We’re gonna need you to take the boy to Alstair’s Lost for us.

01:50:54.560 –> 01:50:55.840
Scorn, what does it say?

01:51:09.119 –> 01:51:13.520
Yeah, but your friend, what is I will find out what happened to them?

01:51:13.840 –> 01:51:25.600
Um, while we’re getting everything ready to go and get loaded up, I’ll cast um sending and inquire if uh Sorcea is in need of any help.

01:51:25.920 –> 01:51:29.840
Um we’ve got the boy on our way, unless you need some help.

01:51:30.479 –> 01:51:31.600
Get a response.

01:51:31.920 –> 01:51:33.520
Leaving Limlithgau.

01:51:34.479 –> 01:51:37.920
Our plan has been found out, but they don’t know about you.

01:51:38.239 –> 01:51:41.439
If all goes well, meet us at the crossroads.

01:51:42.880 –> 01:51:45.199
She says to meet them at the crossroads.

01:51:45.840 –> 01:51:47.920
Well, that’s one hell of a plan change.

01:51:48.239 –> 01:51:53.600
Yes, yes, it is, but it’s definitely it’s definitely her.

01:51:53.760 –> 01:51:56.720
That spell doesn’t uh that spell doesn’t go wrong.

01:51:56.960 –> 01:51:58.399
That’s what she wants us to do.

01:51:59.039 –> 01:52:00.479
Well, you know what they say.

01:52:01.279 –> 01:52:04.399
Uh peculiar travel suggestions or dancing lessons from God.

01:52:04.640 –> 01:52:06.000
Oh no, wait, that was Kirk Vonnegan.

01:52:06.239 –> 01:52:06.720
Never mind.

01:52:07.840 –> 01:52:10.960
Oh, everything leads back to the crossroads.

01:52:18.800 –> 01:52:21.199
Going back the way we came is not a good option.

01:52:21.840 –> 01:52:27.600
Yeah, we’re gonna have to figure that out after the whole ordeal in Alstair’s loss.

01:52:27.920 –> 01:52:44.720
And I mean, remember, like the Lich said, if we’re able to get this done for him, it would only be a travel back to the mountains to where he is, and he would be able to get us these rings of teleportation where it takes it’s a one-way ticket to the crossroads.

01:52:45.039 –> 01:52:47.600
Um, that lich isn’t going anywhere.

01:52:47.760 –> 01:52:49.439
We can get back to his quest later.

01:52:49.760 –> 01:52:51.439
Well, no, I know, but we’re, you know, we’re head.

01:52:51.680 –> 01:52:57.840
I mean, wait, you’re saying you I’m saying I’m not entirely sure the lich is entirely on the level with us.

01:52:58.319 –> 01:53:04.960
If we take this boy to Alistair’s Lost, and he’s not been honest with us, we’re playing right into his hands.

01:53:05.279 –> 01:53:12.319
On the other hand, if we don’t go to Alistair Lost right away, well, we can we can get him there later when we know it’s okay.

01:53:12.640 –> 01:53:13.920
Well, how would we know it’s okay?

01:53:14.079 –> 01:53:18.159
I mean, I mean, I’m not saying we completely follow his plan to a T.

01:53:18.560 –> 01:53:21.680
Trust me, I’m just as suspicious of this Lich as you are.

01:53:22.239 –> 01:53:31.840
I’m fairly good at finding things out, and we have a diviner wizard, Divination Wizard, so I’m betting we can figure this out if we give ourselves some time.

01:53:32.159 –> 01:53:33.039
That’s true.

01:53:33.359 –> 01:53:40.000
Plus, I think I’m a hundred percent sure that we do have to stop by Jedburg at some point.

01:53:40.319 –> 01:53:42.079
Oh, that’s well, that’s the thing.

01:53:42.159 –> 01:53:44.399
That’s that’s east, and Alistair Lost is north.

01:53:44.640 –> 01:53:47.119
What’s uh Aldric and Starling think about this?

01:53:47.359 –> 01:53:48.319
Which way do we go?

01:53:48.640 –> 01:53:50.800
Um Alstair’s Lost is East as well.

01:53:51.520 –> 01:53:53.119
It’s just east of Alstair’s Lost.

01:53:53.680 –> 01:53:54.720
Yep, true.

01:53:56.079 –> 01:54:00.159
Aldric is wanting to go to Alstair’s Lost.

01:54:00.800 –> 01:54:02.640
I’m thinking we should go to Alistair’s Lost.

01:54:03.119 –> 01:54:05.119
We don’t have to deliver the child.

01:54:05.439 –> 01:54:06.399
We don’t like the situation.

01:54:09.439 –> 01:54:15.279
I mean, if someone finds out he’s there and they’ve got plans for him helping them.

01:54:15.600 –> 01:54:16.960
The plans are to keep.

01:54:17.359 –> 01:54:27.840
Well, no, they don’t want him in Alstair’s Lost because whoever’s currently ruling Alstair’s Lost is somebody the Lich doesn’t like, and I guess they’re bad people from what they’ve said.

01:54:28.159 –> 01:54:31.199
Yeah, they probably wouldn’t twice wouldn’t think twice about killing the boy.

01:54:31.520 –> 01:54:32.960
Well, we’re not gonna let that happen.

01:54:33.680 –> 01:54:43.359
Yes, I was thinking the best way to stop that from happening was would be not taking him there, but maybe we can find a safe spot to keep him.

01:54:43.680 –> 01:54:48.880
If the rest of the group wants to go to Alistair Lost, I’m not going to belabor it.

01:54:49.279 –> 01:54:50.000
That’s where we’re going.

01:54:50.319 –> 01:54:51.920
Well, we’re not going to head back, that’s for sure.

01:54:52.159 –> 01:54:59.520
Maybe before we reach Alstairs, we can find a place for this child, who I assume is still asleep, right?

01:55:00.159 –> 01:55:00.720
Yes.

01:55:01.039 –> 01:55:01.279
Okay.

01:55:01.600 –> 01:55:05.920
We’re not just talking about him and his plans while he’s just been there awake the whole time.

01:55:06.239 –> 01:55:08.079
We also need to get some input on this guy.

01:55:08.239 –> 01:55:10.720
I mean, like, he’s fifteen, sixteen.

01:55:11.039 –> 01:55:21.760
I mean, you know, like I’m going to submit to the will of the group, but I have serious.

01:55:23.319 –> 01:55:24.199
Misgivings.

01:55:24.520 –> 01:55:37.399
So all I think is well, I’m suggesting we go to the crooked crossflow crossroads and regroup with my people and then see what we can find out.

01:55:38.600 –> 01:55:39.640
How far?

01:55:40.760 –> 01:55:42.199
It is a very long way.

01:55:42.760 –> 01:55:47.079
That would take us, like, what, like a month to get back there?

01:55:47.399 –> 01:55:48.199
Maybe more.

01:55:48.760 –> 01:55:49.079
Yeah.

01:55:50.039 –> 01:55:50.199
How long?

01:55:50.359 –> 01:55:51.079
Two or three months.

01:55:51.399 –> 01:55:53.479
How long would it take us to get us a Linlith Gal?

01:55:53.880 –> 01:55:54.199
Yeah, you’re a good idea.

01:55:55.239 –> 01:55:56.359
I mean, all Zair’s Lost.

01:55:57.159 –> 01:55:59.239
All Zero’s Lost is about three weeks.

01:55:59.560 –> 01:56:01.880
The Crooked Crossroads is about three months.

01:56:02.760 –> 01:56:05.399
And we’d have to go that way anyway, just the mountain range, right?

01:56:05.720 –> 01:56:08.279
Yes, because you have to go around the mountains.

01:56:09.479 –> 01:56:12.279
Because there are passes through, but they’re snowed in now.

01:56:12.600 –> 01:56:15.560
Or you could wait six months and go through in the spring.

01:56:15.880 –> 01:56:16.840
Oh, yeah.

01:56:18.920 –> 01:56:26.199
And we also have to remember, guys, they have a hold of the artifact that is in All Zero’s Lost, anyways.

01:56:26.439 –> 01:56:28.119
We have to remember the main goal here.

01:56:28.600 –> 01:56:31.079
The temple location is there.

01:56:32.920 –> 01:56:35.720
How do we keep the guy safe, the child?

01:56:36.359 –> 01:56:37.640
I think that’s a name problem.

01:56:39.560 –> 01:56:41.960
That’d be a good thing to ask him when he wakes up.

01:56:43.399 –> 01:56:45.159
So, Alistair Lost it is.

01:56:46.359 –> 01:56:51.399
But I take on board your point: we need to keep that guy safe and out of harm’s way.

01:56:51.720 –> 01:56:52.920
Oh, I can take care of this.

01:56:53.239 –> 01:56:56.920
Well, Kira, can you make sure this child doesn’t die or leave?

01:56:57.560 –> 01:56:58.439
She looks at you.

01:56:58.760 –> 01:56:59.319
Please.

01:57:00.199 –> 01:57:02.199
Alive and immobile.

01:57:03.000 –> 01:57:07.960
No, no, just make sure he doesn’t leave the wagon or leave your side.

01:57:08.119 –> 01:57:10.119
Like, maybe 20 feet at most.

01:57:12.119 –> 01:57:12.760
I love it.

01:57:13.079 –> 01:57:14.760
So alive and slow.

01:57:15.239 –> 01:57:18.840
Just make sure you protect him and you don’t leave him out of your sight.

01:57:19.159 –> 01:57:20.119
How intact?

01:57:20.600 –> 01:57:21.000
Fully.

01:57:22.600 –> 01:57:23.720
Fully intact?

01:57:24.199 –> 01:57:24.600
Yes.

01:57:25.159 –> 01:57:27.239
As in no damage?

01:57:27.560 –> 01:57:27.880
Right.

01:57:28.520 –> 01:57:29.880
Absolutely not.

01:57:30.199 –> 01:57:30.920
Ideally.

01:57:31.239 –> 01:57:32.920
I think I can do that.

01:57:33.880 –> 01:57:34.600
I know you can.

01:57:35.159 –> 01:57:36.359
You’re amazing.

01:57:37.640 –> 01:57:39.960
Starling, how is this going to work?

01:57:40.520 –> 01:57:41.319
I mean, like.

01:57:41.640 –> 01:57:42.920
Sorry, go ahead, Aldrich.

01:57:43.159 –> 01:57:45.720
I’m going to use insight on Starling.

01:57:45.800 –> 01:57:50.279
I don’t understand the relationship with Starling and Folkana.

01:57:53.640 –> 01:57:56.119
I don’t understand anything going on here, so insight.

01:57:57.079 –> 01:58:00.920
I think Starling simply has the hots for the weirdest things ever.

01:58:01.560 –> 01:58:03.319
I don’t understand what’s happening.

01:58:05.239 –> 01:58:07.239
Relationship, sippy cops.

01:58:07.720 –> 01:58:09.880
No, what’s his name?

01:58:09.960 –> 01:58:12.439
Aldrich doesn’t understand this at all.

01:58:13.000 –> 01:58:14.439
Everybody else is trying to figure this out.

01:58:14.600 –> 01:58:16.520
Scorn wishes he didn’t know.

01:58:19.079 –> 01:58:20.279
May I roll some insight?

01:58:20.439 –> 01:58:35.800
I want to like why is Starling commanding or trying to have quite a close relationship or yeah, that kind of bond where you can actually tell someone what to do or ask someone for a favor?

01:58:36.119 –> 01:58:37.479
How is he that close with him?

01:58:37.800 –> 01:58:40.680
It’s called the top of a relationship, Aldrich.

01:58:44.199 –> 01:58:44.840
Always stop.

01:58:46.199 –> 01:58:48.600
Well, I rolled a 12 insight.

01:58:49.239 –> 01:58:52.840
Aldrich still isn’t sure what’s going on.

01:58:54.760 –> 01:58:57.800
Aldrich looks at or if it looks at Aldrich, like, Aldrich, are you okay?

01:58:57.960 –> 01:58:58.840
You look confused.

01:58:59.880 –> 01:59:00.359
I’m not sure.

01:59:02.039 –> 01:59:05.079
As you’re thinking about it, you have a profound insight.

01:59:06.119 –> 01:59:08.600
Aldrich just believes women are confusing.

01:59:08.920 –> 01:59:09.960
It’s very true.

01:59:10.840 –> 01:59:12.279
Very confusing.

01:59:12.600 –> 01:59:15.720
How is the kid going to be safe, Starling?

01:59:15.800 –> 01:59:17.000
How is the kid going to be safe?

01:59:17.880 –> 01:59:19.319
I’m worried.

01:59:19.960 –> 01:59:24.119
I mean, she killed a demigod like it was nothing, and she didn’t even let go of my hand.

01:59:24.279 –> 01:59:25.880
She held my hand the entire phone.

01:59:27.239 –> 01:59:28.119
That’s all I’m hearing.

01:59:28.279 –> 01:59:30.439
That’s all we’re hearing, because she held your hand.

01:59:32.680 –> 01:59:33.560
Yeah, me too.

01:59:33.640 –> 01:59:34.439
But anyway.

01:59:37.000 –> 01:59:37.880
She held my hand.

01:59:42.680 –> 01:59:43.800
Alright, okay, fine.

01:59:44.439 –> 01:59:47.159
She literally killed the demigod with one hand tie behind her back.

01:59:47.319 –> 01:59:51.159
I mean, like, you know, I think the kids could be okay, as long as she doesn’t kill him.

01:59:51.479 –> 01:59:51.960
That’s a good.

01:59:53.319 –> 01:59:53.640
Fine.

01:59:54.119 –> 01:59:55.720
That’s a good point.

01:59:57.159 –> 01:59:58.760
We need to feed her or something, right?

01:59:58.840 –> 02:00:02.600
We need to make sure she’s got a supply.

02:00:03.079 –> 02:00:03.720
She’s good.

02:00:04.039 –> 02:00:05.000
She’s good?

02:00:05.319 –> 02:00:05.560
Yeah.

02:00:06.039 –> 02:00:06.760
How do you mean?

02:00:07.079 –> 02:00:07.560
She’s good.

02:00:07.640 –> 02:00:08.600
She has a supply.

02:00:09.479 –> 02:00:10.279
Oh, God.

02:00:15.399 –> 02:00:18.359
If it’s like, oh, oh, okay.

02:00:18.680 –> 02:00:20.840
Aldric, I think she’s dead.

02:00:21.479 –> 02:00:22.279
But, like, that’s okay.

02:00:24.159 –> 02:00:25.760
We like that.

02:00:33.199 –> 02:00:34.479
Holy shit!

02:00:38.640 –> 02:00:40.880
If it’s like, oh, Aldrich.

02:00:43.760 –> 02:00:46.000
Oh, I’m s Aldrich is so confused.

02:00:46.239 –> 02:00:46.640
It’s okay.

02:00:46.960 –> 02:00:48.239
Aldrich’s so sweet.

02:00:51.119 –> 02:00:53.359
Scorn just looks slightly worried.

02:00:55.600 –> 02:00:58.319
Well, what?

02:00:59.680 –> 02:01:01.359
Do you trust this arrangement?

02:01:01.680 –> 02:01:06.560
I mean, look, I’m all about anybody being into whoever they want to be into.

02:01:06.800 –> 02:01:16.319
I’m just a bit worried that this Celestial is still new to this world and morality, its goals might be in question.

02:01:16.880 –> 02:01:17.840
I mean, I don’t know.

02:01:18.720 –> 02:01:20.239
I’m talking about the kid, yeah.

02:01:20.880 –> 02:01:21.680
Oh, the kid.

02:01:21.760 –> 02:01:23.199
Oh, I don’t know about the kid.

02:01:23.520 –> 02:01:26.640
I thought you were talking about Starling and her relationship.

02:01:26.960 –> 02:01:29.680
Oh, I’m about to say, you’re being really judgy.

02:01:30.319 –> 02:01:32.800
No, it’s all related, though.

02:01:33.119 –> 02:01:33.600
What do you mean?

02:01:33.680 –> 02:01:34.560
How is it all related?

02:01:34.960 –> 02:01:36.880
The kid has nothing to do with them.

02:01:37.840 –> 02:01:38.159
What?

02:01:38.800 –> 02:01:40.800
Can we trust this Sphinx?

02:01:41.119 –> 02:01:41.439
What?

02:01:42.319 –> 02:01:43.199
The Celestial.

02:01:43.279 –> 02:01:44.560
Can we trust the Celestial?

02:01:44.640 –> 02:01:44.880
Sorry.

02:01:45.199 –> 02:01:50.319
I mean, she’s been on our side so far, and, like, she rescued the hell out of Starling.

02:01:50.800 –> 02:01:52.319
And Starling trusts her.

02:01:52.640 –> 02:01:53.920
Yeah, Starling trusts her.

02:01:54.159 –> 02:01:54.720
Oh, is she trusting?

02:01:55.600 –> 02:01:56.079
Okay, fine.

02:01:56.159 –> 02:01:56.720
I’ll defer to her.

02:01:56.880 –> 02:02:00.000
You know, this kid might have a new pair of moms.

02:02:02.319 –> 02:02:02.640
Alright.

02:02:08.159 –> 02:02:09.279
Don’t overthink it, alright?

02:02:09.439 –> 02:02:10.560
We’re taking it day by day.

02:02:10.880 –> 02:02:12.880
Look, look, Starling’s one of us.

02:02:12.960 –> 02:02:15.680
And if Starling trusts her, I don’t see why we can’t.

02:02:16.000 –> 02:02:16.399
Alright.

02:02:16.640 –> 02:02:16.800
Okay.

02:02:18.640 –> 02:02:19.760
Aldric’s just going to sit.

02:02:20.079 –> 02:02:20.479
I’ll just…

02:02:21.279 –> 02:02:25.199
Aldric is going to just sit down or just keep walking or whatever.

02:02:25.520 –> 02:02:26.319
He’s forgetting it.

02:02:29.600 –> 02:02:35.600
If it really carefully, because he’s getting vibes from Aldrich that are just like, hey, man, love is love.

02:02:37.760 –> 02:02:38.079
Yeah.

02:02:46.800 –> 02:02:48.640
Get the simple justice for it.

02:02:55.359 –> 02:02:57.760
Just, I’ll talk to you again in future about this.

02:02:58.399 –> 02:02:58.560
Yeah.

02:02:59.359 –> 02:03:01.439
Look, look, I get your concern.

02:03:01.600 –> 02:03:02.880
The Celestial, yeah.

02:03:04.000 –> 02:03:10.319
We’re playing it by ear, but as of right now, for the most part, I think she’s like, she’s still new to the world.

02:03:10.399 –> 02:03:11.359
She’s experiencing things.

02:03:11.520 –> 02:03:18.239
She’s basically reacting upon just immediate instinct about how she feels about the situation.

02:03:18.479 –> 02:03:30.319
I feel like if she sticks with us and, you know, like she sees the way we do things, maybe, you know, it might be better off for her, you know, because I’d say we’re pretty cool.

02:03:30.640 –> 02:03:31.359
You’re right.

02:03:32.479 –> 02:03:39.680
Aldric will go and make some tea and go and offer it to Volcano.

02:03:44.640 –> 02:03:46.399
He’ll say, yeah, okay.

02:03:47.279 –> 02:03:48.560
We’ve got a task for you.

02:03:48.720 –> 02:03:49.920
I’m sure you already know.

02:03:52.000 –> 02:03:55.119
Just want to make sure you’re going to be comfortable in our group.

02:03:55.279 –> 02:03:56.239
So here’s some tea.

02:03:56.640 –> 02:03:58.079
We’re going to need to Aldrich.

02:03:58.640 –> 02:03:59.920
Looks you dad in the eyes.

02:04:00.399 –> 02:04:00.960
Thank you.

02:04:01.279 –> 02:04:05.760
And then without a shred of delicacy, gulps down the tea.

02:04:08.479 –> 02:04:08.720
Yeah.

02:04:09.279 –> 02:04:09.680
Welcome.

02:04:09.840 –> 02:04:10.159
Welcome.

02:04:11.439 –> 02:04:12.720
We’ll look out for each other.

02:04:13.039 –> 02:04:17.520
She hands you back the cup and sits back, looks at the boy.

02:04:18.159 –> 02:04:19.680
He’s going to stay alive.

02:04:20.000 –> 02:04:21.119
You got that.

02:04:25.039 –> 02:04:25.279
Cool.

02:04:25.439 –> 02:04:26.239
That’s ideal.

02:04:26.720 –> 02:04:29.039
Whether he likes it or not, he’s going to live through this.

02:04:29.520 –> 02:04:32.000
We’re in the back of a wagon, you said, or like a caravan?

02:04:32.640 –> 02:04:33.119
Okay, okay.

02:04:33.279 –> 02:04:34.800
I wanted to remind her.

02:04:34.960 –> 02:04:35.439
Who’s driving?

02:04:35.840 –> 02:04:37.439
Can any of you drive a wagon?

02:04:38.079 –> 02:04:40.640
I’ve got Jack of all trades, so maybe.

02:04:42.159 –> 02:04:43.119
Features.

02:04:43.680 –> 02:04:45.520
I mean, we all ride horses.

02:04:45.840 –> 02:04:47.359
There’s just two horses now.

02:04:48.960 –> 02:04:49.760
Or one, actually.

02:04:49.840 –> 02:04:50.159
I don’t know.

02:04:50.319 –> 02:04:51.199
No, probably two.

02:04:51.520 –> 02:04:52.640
We’re a heavy bunch.

02:04:57.439 –> 02:04:59.359
Let me check my animal handling.

02:04:59.600 –> 02:05:00.000
I don’t know.

02:05:00.319 –> 02:05:00.960
I got a plus three.

02:05:01.840 –> 02:05:02.159
Plus three.

02:05:03.439 –> 02:05:04.399
You’re way better than I am.

02:05:04.560 –> 02:05:04.960
Well, you’re not.

02:05:05.039 –> 02:05:06.399
Anybody else have better than plus three?

02:05:06.720 –> 02:05:10.399
I’ve got better than plus three, but I heard she’s got even better.

02:05:10.640 –> 02:05:13.119
So handling her the best.

02:05:14.560 –> 02:05:14.800
Cool.

02:05:14.960 –> 02:05:19.520
Darling, you want to take control of the wagon?

02:05:20.000 –> 02:05:22.399
But Epid, you look so valiant doing it.

02:05:27.399 –> 02:05:29.159
It’d be like, oh, okay.

02:05:31.479 –> 02:05:33.960
And like, takes the compliment and he rolls a 13.

02:05:36.199 –> 02:05:38.359
Well, he keeps the wagon on the road.

02:05:40.199 –> 02:05:41.479
It’s all we ask.

02:05:41.800 –> 02:05:44.760
Not always in a straight line, but always on the road.

02:05:45.079 –> 02:05:46.680
Sorry about the bump there, guys.

02:05:46.840 –> 02:05:47.319
Sorry.

02:05:49.479 –> 02:05:51.960
So you are continuing down the road.

02:05:52.279 –> 02:05:52.520
Yeah.

02:05:54.279 –> 02:05:56.520
I mean, is this kid waking up anytime soon?

02:05:57.079 –> 02:06:06.119
Technically, he should have woken up after a minute, but I mean, I could have, you know, did the fancy thing death spell and knocked his soul out if I needed to.

02:06:06.439 –> 02:06:07.000
Oh, well.

02:06:07.399 –> 02:06:09.720
I just didn’t want to do that.

02:06:12.520 –> 02:06:17.560
While we’re on the way to Alster Lost, I’m going to do a couple more sendings, I think.

02:06:19.800 –> 02:06:21.000
Do a sending to Seraphim.

02:06:21.880 –> 02:06:23.560
All right, what do you say?

02:06:23.880 –> 02:06:26.600
Heard you opened up a tavern under my name.

02:06:26.920 –> 02:06:27.960
Hope all is well.

02:06:28.279 –> 02:06:29.319
What’s it called?

02:06:29.960 –> 02:06:31.000
You’re here back.

02:06:31.319 –> 02:06:32.119
The tavern?

02:06:32.359 –> 02:06:33.960
It’s called Morning’s Light.

02:06:34.840 –> 02:06:36.279
Did she say anything else?

02:06:36.600 –> 02:06:38.920
You might have to pay taxes when you get back.

02:06:40.439 –> 02:06:40.680
Okay.

02:06:41.479 –> 02:06:52.119
And then, um, just so I’m not down more than one spell slot, I’ll the next day I’ll do another sending to Sorcea and tell her the Morning Light Tavern should be safe.

02:06:52.439 –> 02:06:53.720
We’re going here a while.

02:06:54.199 –> 02:06:55.479
And we’re going to be a while.

02:06:55.800 –> 02:06:58.600
And then you get back on the tail under that.

02:06:58.920 –> 02:07:01.880
Isn’t that the tavern that was registered under your name?

02:07:05.079 –> 02:07:07.319
Yeah, I’m just not going to answer that.

02:07:08.279 –> 02:07:09.079
Oh my God.

02:07:09.560 –> 02:07:12.600
I’m not burning another spell slot just to say, oh, yes, it is.

02:07:13.880 –> 02:07:17.880
Aldric is sending or not, Aldrich.

02:07:17.960 –> 02:07:21.239
Scorn is sending all of his situation ships to one place.

02:07:21.800 –> 02:07:23.319
Yeah, in the same place.

02:07:23.479 –> 02:07:24.920
You’re all going to live together.

02:07:26.119 –> 02:07:27.239
With him not there.

02:07:29.000 –> 02:07:30.520
He doesn’t have to nail with it.

02:07:31.479 –> 02:07:32.600
How do you know, Scorn?

02:07:35.399 –> 02:07:36.359
Oh, gosh.

02:07:37.960 –> 02:07:39.159
I don’t put it past him.

02:07:39.560 –> 02:07:40.199
He’s a bard.

02:07:40.279 –> 02:07:40.920
He’s a bar.

02:07:43.880 –> 02:07:44.199
That’s.

02:07:44.680 –> 02:07:45.720
Yeah, that’s all I need to do.

02:07:47.319 –> 02:07:47.880
Good enough.

02:07:48.920 –> 02:07:54.439
Does anyone want to decorate our caravan with anything?

02:07:55.399 –> 02:07:57.319
To put a symbol or anything on it.

02:07:57.560 –> 02:07:58.680
That would be really cute.

02:07:59.000 –> 02:07:59.880
Oh, wait.

02:08:00.520 –> 02:08:04.600
What did the license plate say on that fucking dumb truck on Killbill?

02:08:07.720 –> 02:08:07.960
Yeah.

02:08:12.840 –> 02:08:13.560
I missed it.

02:08:13.720 –> 02:08:14.359
What was that?

02:08:16.119 –> 02:08:16.760
I missed it.

02:08:17.479 –> 02:08:19.239
I can’t hear you over all the laughing.

02:08:19.319 –> 02:08:19.479
Sorry.

02:08:20.199 –> 02:08:21.479
The good old pussy wagon.

02:08:23.079 –> 02:08:24.920
To be fair, that seems like the perfect name.

02:08:25.159 –> 02:08:26.680
I mean, that’s the perfect name, is it not?

02:08:29.239 –> 02:08:32.920
And that old Spanish man is like, oh, the pussy died.

02:08:33.000 –> 02:08:34.439
And it’s the best thing I’ve heard.

02:08:34.520 –> 02:08:35.159
I love that one.

02:08:40.039 –> 02:08:41.239
I’m going to rewatch that.

02:08:41.560 –> 02:08:45.560
Does anyone have the ability to paint or draw?

02:08:46.199 –> 02:08:51.079
If not, Aldric would try to burn it into a side of the caravan.

02:08:52.039 –> 02:08:52.840
Wait, actually?

02:08:53.319 –> 02:08:59.239
Put pussy wagon on the side of the one having a problem with that?

02:08:59.880 –> 02:09:00.199
No.

02:09:01.800 –> 02:09:06.279
It’s got to be in the font that I just sent in the general chat.

02:09:07.880 –> 02:09:08.600
Let me see.

02:09:10.279 –> 02:09:11.720
Unbelievable.

02:09:21.880 –> 02:09:22.199
Yeah.

02:09:22.520 –> 02:09:22.680
Okay.

02:09:23.880 –> 02:09:24.760
We’re burning that end.

02:09:25.800 –> 02:09:29.319
But what does it mean the Forgotten Realms?

02:09:29.399 –> 02:09:30.199
Or in this world?

02:09:30.359 –> 02:09:31.960
What does that mean here?

02:09:34.439 –> 02:09:36.119
I mean, it means what it means.

02:09:37.239 –> 02:09:38.600
It can still mean the same thing.

02:09:38.920 –> 02:09:40.920
People are going to be like, the pussy wagon.

02:09:41.239 –> 02:09:42.039
The pussy.

02:09:43.880 –> 02:09:46.279
Do you want to in big or small letters?

02:09:46.760 –> 02:09:47.239
Probably small.

02:09:47.399 –> 02:09:47.800
Probably small.

02:09:48.840 –> 02:09:49.640
Big or small.

02:09:52.520 –> 02:09:52.760
Well.

02:09:54.840 –> 02:09:56.039
Scorn, you can vote as well.

02:09:56.119 –> 02:09:56.840
What do you think?

02:09:59.000 –> 02:09:59.720
I vote big.

02:10:00.279 –> 02:10:03.640
I’m not sure what I would vote for, but that would not be it.

02:10:05.800 –> 02:10:06.920
Yeah, what does that even mean?

02:10:07.000 –> 02:10:07.720
Never mind.

02:10:11.000 –> 02:10:12.520
I’ll just put it on the side.

02:10:13.079 –> 02:10:13.479
What do you think?

02:10:13.640 –> 02:10:15.159
Star side or back?

02:10:15.800 –> 02:10:17.000
Oh, definitely the back.

02:10:17.319 –> 02:10:17.960
Definitely the back.

02:10:18.359 –> 02:10:18.920
Fine then.

02:10:20.119 –> 02:10:22.199
Using like a tantrip of flames.

02:10:22.520 –> 02:10:24.920
He’s going to burn that into the caravan on the back.

02:10:27.520 –> 02:10:33.920
Ipid speeds by a just married wagon and gets in front of him.

02:10:37.119 –> 02:10:44.960
Ipid, as you are driving the wagon down the road, you see someone standing in the middle in dark red robes.

02:10:45.600 –> 02:10:46.560
Whoa, easy.

02:10:46.640 –> 02:10:47.039
Whoa.

02:10:47.279 –> 02:10:48.720
You know what cowboys say.

02:10:49.359 –> 02:10:50.800
Um, hello.

02:10:51.119 –> 02:10:52.319
You’re in the way.

02:10:52.960 –> 02:10:58.479
In the hissing of multiple voices, you hear it say, We have come for us there.

02:10:59.359 –> 02:11:00.479
Give us to him.

02:11:01.039 –> 02:11:02.319
Oh, I don’t know who that is.

02:11:02.560 –> 02:11:04.399
Give us the boy.

02:11:05.119 –> 02:11:06.399
You gotta clear your throat, man.

02:11:06.560 –> 02:11:07.520
I don’t got nothing for you.

02:11:07.680 –> 02:11:08.479
We don’t got no boy here.

02:11:08.560 –> 02:11:09.359
We just got pussy.

02:11:09.760 –> 02:11:10.720
Saw this coming.

02:11:13.199 –> 02:11:14.720
Who are you and who sent you?

02:11:15.039 –> 02:11:17.039
Will you give us the boy?

02:11:18.800 –> 02:11:19.600
Fuck no.

02:11:20.079 –> 02:11:27.119
No, and then Ipid does like the whip thing, like with the horses telling them to just book it.

02:11:28.079 –> 02:11:36.079
You see him disappear into a swirl of red mist, and then you see two large things appear on the road in front of you.

02:11:38.000 –> 02:11:39.039
What large things?

02:11:39.920 –> 02:11:41.119
It’s taken down this wagon.

02:11:42.000 –> 02:11:50.880
You see beasts with wicked wings and multiple heads of different beasts.

02:11:51.760 –> 02:11:52.479
Ooh.

02:11:52.800 –> 02:11:53.840
A chimera?

02:11:54.640 –> 02:11:55.279
TMF.

02:11:55.680 –> 02:11:57.680
Oh God, right here, right now?

02:12:02.800 –> 02:12:04.239
If it’s TMA, you know what?

02:12:04.399 –> 02:12:06.159
The boy, you can have him.

02:12:09.439 –> 02:12:10.399
Oh my.

02:12:11.279 –> 02:12:15.760
You see not one, but two of these beasts standing in the road.

02:12:16.720 –> 02:12:19.039
You know, I haven’t explained anything in a while.

02:12:19.359 –> 02:12:20.560
Just a quick question.

02:12:20.880 –> 02:12:22.000
Was Darka.

02:12:22.159 –> 02:12:23.119
Is it Darka?

02:12:23.439 –> 02:12:23.760
Your.

02:12:24.479 –> 02:12:25.119
Is that what we…

02:12:26.399 –> 02:12:27.920
Ipid, your old master.

02:12:28.079 –> 02:12:28.880
What’s her name again?

02:12:29.119 –> 02:12:31.359
My old general, her name was Varka.

02:12:33.359 –> 02:12:33.920
Varka.

02:12:34.560 –> 02:12:35.680
Was she dying?

02:12:36.000 –> 02:12:38.560
Um, no, she was just greatly wounded.

02:12:38.720 –> 02:12:39.680
She lost an arm.

02:12:39.920 –> 02:12:40.640
Her leg is broken.

02:12:41.520 –> 02:12:42.880
Did she look like she was gonna die?

02:12:43.039 –> 02:12:45.119
I kind of got the feeling that she was gonna die.

02:12:45.439 –> 02:12:46.960
No, I think she was stable.

02:12:47.119 –> 02:12:50.159
I think she’s just fatally scarred for life now.

02:12:50.800 –> 02:12:51.039
Alright.

02:12:51.600 –> 02:12:54.880
You know, I know a lot of people compare us to lizards, but we don’t.

02:12:54.960 –> 02:13:00.079
We grow like sort of a closed-minded assumption there, but you know.

02:13:01.039 –> 02:13:04.640
What do you do about the beasts standing in the road?

02:13:11.680 –> 02:13:13.039
Probably should cast slow.

02:13:13.279 –> 02:13:14.880
Yeah, it’s got the range.

02:13:15.199 –> 02:13:16.479
Um, yes.

02:13:17.039 –> 02:13:18.239
That is the answer.

02:13:18.560 –> 02:13:24.960
Uh, Ipid tells Starling, hey, tell, um, tell your friend there to keep an eye on the boy while we deal with this.

02:13:25.279 –> 02:13:25.439
Okay.

02:13:26.079 –> 02:13:26.880
Initiative.

02:13:30.640 –> 02:13:35.119
And with the slow spell, the chimeras will start at the end of initiative.

02:13:35.439 –> 02:13:35.840
Hell yeah.

02:13:36.079 –> 02:13:36.800
Scorn.

02:13:37.680 –> 02:13:38.640
Oh, okay, then.

02:13:38.880 –> 02:13:41.920
Yeah, initiative, yay.

02:13:46.239 –> 02:13:50.880
Has it been a new day since that time we flew out of the burning building?

02:13:51.119 –> 02:13:56.399
Right, so I’ve still got my thing, but I’ll keep, I’ll say that I still have majority.

02:13:56.479 –> 02:13:58.079
I’ll roll your portent real quick.

02:13:58.399 –> 02:13:58.720
Okay.

02:14:00.319 –> 02:14:03.279
Could I have cast mage armor before this encounter?

02:14:04.319 –> 02:14:06.239
You still have time to cast mage armor.

02:14:06.479 –> 02:14:10.319
Okay, so I’ll just keep that activated because I didn’t stop it from the last.

02:14:10.800 –> 02:14:11.199
There we go.

02:14:11.279 –> 02:14:11.920
It’s public.

02:14:12.079 –> 02:14:13.279
It’s well known.

02:14:13.600 –> 02:14:14.159
What do you think?

02:14:14.239 –> 02:14:15.039
Public spare?

02:14:15.279 –> 02:14:16.000
I don’t know.

02:14:16.800 –> 02:14:20.399
Just means we got a gun in our back pocket whenever we need to.

02:14:21.600 –> 02:14:25.840
Things start off with Ash running forward screaming.

02:14:26.159 –> 02:14:28.000
Holy shit, I forgot he was with us.

02:14:29.119 –> 02:14:32.800
First thing he does is throw a javelin right at one of the chimeras.

02:14:34.239 –> 02:14:36.880
It doesn’t hit, but it was an impressive attack.

02:14:37.199 –> 02:14:44.560
Scorn, when you cast slow, is it an area that stays there and makes sense if we go in there?

02:14:45.199 –> 02:14:45.439
Nope.

02:14:45.840 –> 02:14:47.760
No, it’s an instantaneous spell.

02:14:47.840 –> 02:14:51.520
It’s got, well, I choose the targets when I cast it.

02:14:51.840 –> 02:14:54.960
Okay, alright, so we don’t have to worry about getting slowed at beginning.

02:14:55.680 –> 02:14:56.800
It’s selective.

02:14:57.119 –> 02:15:00.479
And once I’ve chosen those targets, nobody else is going to get hit.

02:15:00.720 –> 02:15:01.119
Thank God.

02:15:01.359 –> 02:15:02.319
Alright, good to know.

02:15:02.479 –> 02:15:04.560
I don’t want to run in there and get slowed.

02:15:05.760 –> 02:15:06.399
You won’t.

02:15:07.279 –> 02:15:08.720
Starling, it is your turn.

02:15:09.039 –> 02:15:14.880
Alright, I’m going to cast guy balls on this one on the bottom.

02:15:15.119 –> 02:15:15.680
Let’s see.

02:15:17.680 –> 02:15:18.079
Ten.

02:15:18.560 –> 02:15:19.760
Does not hit.

02:15:20.079 –> 02:15:20.319
Okay.

02:15:20.640 –> 02:15:22.079
Alright, let me see where I’m at.

02:15:22.560 –> 02:15:24.319
I like to bonus action messy stuff.

02:15:24.800 –> 02:15:25.920
After my movement, so.

02:15:27.319 –> 02:15:27.880
Let’s see.

02:15:28.439 –> 02:15:29.000
Holy shit.

02:15:29.159 –> 02:15:31.960
This ring of regeneration looks throw a limb if I lose.

02:15:32.279 –> 02:15:32.439
Yeah.

02:15:32.760 –> 02:15:33.720
Never mind, Aldric.

02:15:33.880 –> 02:15:34.920
I am sort of like a loser.

02:15:39.319 –> 02:15:41.000
Let’s hope I don’t lose it, though.

02:15:42.199 –> 02:15:43.239
Okay, that’s my turn.

02:15:43.640 –> 02:15:45.079
Aldric, it is your turn.

02:15:47.880 –> 02:15:48.840
Okay, okay, okay.

02:15:49.720 –> 02:15:50.840
They’re just look threatening.

02:15:51.000 –> 02:15:51.880
Have they done anything?

02:15:52.199 –> 02:15:53.880
No, they haven’t had a chance to yet.

02:15:54.199 –> 02:15:56.760
You haven’t had a chance to, but it’s pretty clear they’re going to start fighting.

02:15:57.079 –> 02:15:59.560
Yes, they’re gnashing their teeth and biting at you.

02:15:59.880 –> 02:16:00.439
Yeah, okay.

02:16:00.680 –> 02:16:01.800
They’re very angry.

02:16:02.119 –> 02:16:02.359
Yeah.

02:16:02.840 –> 02:16:03.159
Okay.

02:16:04.119 –> 02:16:05.319
It is going to be.

02:16:05.960 –> 02:16:10.039
Yeah, just start off with a fireball then.

02:16:10.199 –> 02:16:10.760
Why not?

02:16:11.079 –> 02:16:15.560
I don’t know anything about these creatures myself, so I’m just going to assume that it’s going to work.

02:16:15.880 –> 02:16:16.840
Fireball them.

02:16:17.159 –> 02:16:17.720
Nice.

02:16:18.119 –> 02:16:19.640
Take start 14.

02:16:19.960 –> 02:16:20.760
Say it and throw.

02:16:21.000 –> 02:16:21.880
DC 14.

02:16:23.800 –> 02:16:25.319
One fails, one succeeds.

02:16:25.399 –> 02:16:26.279
Roll damage.

02:16:26.600 –> 02:16:27.079
Ooh.

02:16:27.239 –> 02:16:27.720
I’ll take it.

02:16:28.920 –> 02:16:29.399
That’s good.

02:16:29.720 –> 02:16:29.960
Very good.

02:16:30.119 –> 02:16:30.920
Not too far.

02:16:32.360 –> 02:16:34.280
Will you do anything with your bonus action?

02:16:34.520 –> 02:16:35.079
Oh, I’m sorry.

02:16:35.239 –> 02:16:45.639
You know, that’ll be my turn, but I’ll just move to some kind of safe location that’s maybe kind of towards the middle there, like that.

02:16:46.440 –> 02:16:46.920
That’ll be it.

02:16:47.079 –> 02:16:48.440
Try and hide behind a bush, I guess.

02:16:48.680 –> 02:16:51.079
Maybe something like that.

02:16:53.239 –> 02:16:55.079
Alright, Ipid, it is your turn.

02:16:56.040 –> 02:17:04.360
Ipid’s gonna saddle up 30 feet right next to Ash, and he’s gonna have the same bright idea.

02:17:04.680 –> 02:17:11.879
Throw his spear at the top chimera, the one to the north of the 24.

02:17:12.520 –> 02:17:13.319
That hits.

02:17:13.959 –> 02:17:20.120
I’ll take the nine damage, and he’s gonna go ahead and add might to that.

02:17:21.319 –> 02:17:23.399
That’s twenty-one damage.

02:17:27.879 –> 02:17:28.760
I wonder what happened.

02:17:28.840 –> 02:17:31.399
I wonder what Tom and the horses are doing right now.

02:17:32.920 –> 02:17:34.120
That’s fair.

02:17:34.440 –> 02:17:37.159
I mean, you weren’t here the session.

02:17:38.760 –> 02:17:39.079
Yeah.

02:17:40.280 –> 02:17:40.680
That’s my action.

02:17:42.600 –> 02:17:44.440
That’s my action and bonus action.

02:17:44.600 –> 02:17:47.959
I did 21 damage total to the Chimera to the north.

02:17:48.280 –> 02:17:49.959
And I believe this is my turn.

02:17:50.280 –> 02:17:51.479
It is your turn.

02:17:54.280 –> 02:17:54.440
Okay.

02:17:55.959 –> 02:17:57.479
Gonna cast mirror image.

02:17:57.879 –> 02:18:00.120
If there was ever a good time for that, it’s now.

02:18:00.360 –> 02:18:00.920
Where are you?

02:18:01.079 –> 02:18:01.719
There you are.

02:18:02.040 –> 02:18:07.159
It’s not a concentration spell, so I can keep these two slowed while I’ve got that up.

02:18:07.479 –> 02:18:08.760
Um, and I’ll.

02:18:09.319 –> 02:18:11.319
Yeah, I’m gonna take cover over here.

02:18:11.799 –> 02:18:13.959
And uh, shout to Ipid.

02:18:14.200 –> 02:18:14.920
Excellent hit.

02:18:15.479 –> 02:18:18.440
They don’t have a chance, and uh, give him morning inspiration.

02:18:18.760 –> 02:18:19.239
Yay.

02:18:20.120 –> 02:18:21.559
I’m like, thank you, scorn.

02:18:21.799 –> 02:18:23.319
But he says a man leader.

02:18:24.600 –> 02:18:25.479
Of course.

02:18:27.239 –> 02:18:28.200
And that’s me done.

02:18:28.440 –> 02:18:31.319
Ipid, you see a chimera coming down towards you.

02:18:31.639 –> 02:18:33.399
I wish that Mofucko would.

02:18:34.360 –> 02:18:35.639
Okay, then he will.

02:18:35.959 –> 02:18:37.319
First he bites.

02:18:37.879 –> 02:18:39.559
And attacks with his horns.

02:18:39.879 –> 02:18:41.399
And attacks with his claws.

02:18:41.719 –> 02:18:43.639
Ah, you only got one hit, loser.

02:18:43.959 –> 02:18:45.319
Oh, they’re slow.

02:18:45.479 –> 02:18:46.680
They can only make one attack.

02:18:47.000 –> 02:18:47.719
Oh, right.

02:18:48.280 –> 02:18:50.200
So then we make the first attack then.

02:18:50.440 –> 02:18:51.559
Oh, the one that hit.

02:18:52.120 –> 02:18:52.360
Yeah.

02:18:53.239 –> 02:18:54.280
I tried it, but.

02:18:54.760 –> 02:18:55.559
It’s okay.

02:18:55.879 –> 02:18:58.120
Ipid’s going to eat this hit like it’s an outsider.

02:18:58.360 –> 02:18:59.000
Like I said.

02:18:59.319 –> 02:19:05.799
The next chimera comes forward, opens its mouth, and you see flames sputtering and becomes shooting out.

02:19:06.120 –> 02:19:06.840
Ipid.

02:19:07.159 –> 02:19:09.639
You and Ash need to make a dexterity saving throw.

02:19:09.959 –> 02:19:11.639
Oh, wow, the thing I’m so good at.

02:19:11.959 –> 02:19:12.280
Oh!

02:19:13.319 –> 02:19:14.600
With a natural twenty.

02:19:16.200 –> 02:19:19.159
You both make the saving throw and take half damage.

02:19:20.680 –> 02:19:31.559
As the flames wrap around you, you feel a tingling warmth, and you see Ash rush forward towards one of them, wielding his dark light great sword with fury.

02:19:32.200 –> 02:19:37.399
He carves into it twice, and you see it buckling underneath his blows.

02:19:37.719 –> 02:19:39.879
And Starling, it is your turn.

02:19:40.200 –> 02:19:46.680
You’ve seen Ipid and Ash get a bit cooked and are under assault from the Chimeras.

02:19:47.239 –> 02:19:49.000
Okay, I’m going to try to cast Gouting Bolt.

02:19:49.479 –> 02:19:50.840
Creature closest to me.

02:19:51.159 –> 02:19:52.280
Second level.

02:19:53.799 –> 02:19:54.360
Ow.

02:19:55.000 –> 02:19:56.200
I’m not hearing very well.

02:19:56.840 –> 02:19:57.319
Let’s see.

02:19:57.479 –> 02:19:59.639
I’m going to move a little bit over here.

02:19:59.959 –> 02:20:01.079
And that’s going to be my turn.

02:20:01.239 –> 02:20:03.079
Ultric, it is your turn.

02:20:03.399 –> 02:20:03.719
Okay.

02:20:04.280 –> 02:20:09.079
I want to target the one that saved the fireball earlier.

02:20:09.399 –> 02:20:10.280
Which one’s that?

02:20:11.000 –> 02:20:12.280
That’s the bottom one.

02:20:12.600 –> 02:20:12.840
Yeah.

02:20:13.159 –> 02:20:13.479
Okay.

02:20:14.600 –> 02:20:15.639
How does that one look?

02:20:15.959 –> 02:20:17.799
It’s doing better than the top one.

02:20:18.040 –> 02:20:20.920
It’s eight gouges from Ash’s attacks.

02:20:21.639 –> 02:20:21.879
Okay.

02:20:22.840 –> 02:20:24.920
So on that one.

02:20:25.239 –> 02:20:26.600
Oh, holy, holy moly.

02:20:28.000 –> 02:20:28.719
Hold on a minute.

02:20:28.959 –> 02:20:31.920
The range is only 30 feet on that one.

02:20:32.159 –> 02:20:33.760
Oh, it’s about in range.

02:20:34.079 –> 02:20:35.120
Yeah, that’s in range.

02:20:35.440 –> 02:20:39.280
To do that blazing briar heart spell.

02:20:39.680 –> 02:20:40.879
Never tried it so far.

02:20:41.120 –> 02:20:41.840
Let’s do it.

02:20:42.159 –> 02:20:52.079
So it’s that stuff, which means there’s going to be fiery roots coming from the ground to try and wrap around their limbs.

02:20:52.399 –> 02:20:54.079
It fails at saving throw.

02:20:54.479 –> 02:20:56.159
Roll the damage.

02:20:57.040 –> 02:20:58.239
66 fire.

02:20:58.639 –> 02:21:00.319
And it becomes restrained.

02:21:00.639 –> 02:21:01.200
Yes.

02:21:01.520 –> 02:21:05.760
Oh, I think it maybe rolled too many dice there.

02:21:05.920 –> 02:21:06.639
I don’t know why.

02:21:07.200 –> 02:21:10.159
Well, at the start of this turn, it would have taken 2d6.

02:21:10.319 –> 02:21:13.120
I think that’s why it’s on that.

02:21:14.719 –> 02:21:16.399
So minus 6 would have been what?

02:21:16.639 –> 02:21:19.120
14 if we’re taking away the last one.

02:21:19.280 –> 02:21:21.040
I’ll just go ahead and apply that.

02:21:21.360 –> 02:21:22.719
Do you have a bonus action?

02:21:23.040 –> 02:21:23.760
No, no.

02:21:24.000 –> 02:21:24.559
I’m good.

02:21:24.639 –> 02:21:26.159
I don’t really have bonus actions.

02:21:26.719 –> 02:21:32.639
And with that spell on your turn, you can use a bonus action.

02:21:32.959 –> 02:21:33.280
Oh.

02:21:33.840 –> 02:21:38.559
To cause you or one of the creatures regain 2d6 hit points.

02:21:38.879 –> 02:21:40.000
Oh, is any of us…

02:21:40.639 –> 02:21:42.399
Can I do that on my turn right now?

02:21:43.280 –> 02:21:43.600
Yes.

02:21:43.920 –> 02:21:44.879
It would have been, yeah.

02:21:45.120 –> 02:21:46.479
Is anyone injured?

02:21:46.799 –> 02:21:47.680
I don’t think so.

02:21:48.719 –> 02:21:50.399
I’m at half HP.

02:21:50.959 –> 02:21:51.760
Oh, I’m sorry.

02:21:52.000 –> 02:21:53.680
Yeah, so Ipid then.

02:21:53.760 –> 02:21:54.639
If it will get that.

02:21:54.879 –> 02:21:55.760
Can I roll it?

02:21:56.000 –> 02:21:57.840
Or yeah, roll 2d6.

02:21:58.399 –> 02:21:58.879
Oh, well.

02:21:59.120 –> 02:21:59.680
There you go.

02:22:00.159 –> 02:22:00.239
4.

02:22:01.840 –> 02:22:03.680
Now you’re at 2 thirds HP.

02:22:04.000 –> 02:22:04.399
Yay!

02:22:06.479 –> 02:22:08.719
Speaking of that, Ipid, it is your turn.

02:22:09.040 –> 02:22:10.079
Um, yeah.

02:22:10.719 –> 02:22:15.920
So the one right in front of me is slowed, the one to the north of me is just normal.

02:22:16.239 –> 02:22:17.200
They’re both slowed.

02:22:17.360 –> 02:22:23.280
The one right in front of you is restrained, and the one to the north of you is not.

02:22:23.920 –> 02:22:26.559
The restrained one you have advantage against.

02:22:26.879 –> 02:22:29.280
If they’re slowed, can they make opportunity attack?

02:22:29.600 –> 02:22:29.760
No.

02:22:30.399 –> 02:22:30.879
Beautiful.

02:22:30.959 –> 02:22:34.799
I’m going to go to the restrained one and be like, hey, you can’t defeat me because you’re slowed.

02:22:36.159 –> 02:22:36.799
One block.

02:22:37.280 –> 02:22:42.079
And then Ipid’s going to go ahead and hit this bitch with his great sword.

02:22:42.239 –> 02:22:43.360
With advantage, right?

02:22:43.680 –> 02:22:44.000
Yes.

02:22:44.319 –> 02:22:45.360
With a 22.

02:22:45.600 –> 02:22:46.319
That hits.

02:22:46.639 –> 02:22:48.559
He’s going to take the 11 damage.

02:22:49.520 –> 02:22:51.840
And with that, he’s also going to.

02:22:52.159 –> 02:22:56.799
He’s going to hit it with a searing smite.

02:22:57.120 –> 02:22:57.680
Wait, hold on.

02:22:58.319 –> 02:23:02.079
I’m going to use turn control stone, so target takes one fire damage.

02:23:02.399 –> 02:23:02.719
Okay.

02:23:03.200 –> 02:23:04.559
Initial damage.

02:23:05.040 –> 02:23:06.559
I’m going to use the second old spot.

02:23:08.000 –> 02:23:11.040
So that’s 40 total.

02:23:11.360 –> 02:23:13.840
And then as I hit the target, it takes an actual 1d6.

02:23:14.159 –> 02:23:14.879
At the start of each of the skills.

02:23:14.959 –> 02:23:16.239
How do you kill this one?

02:23:16.559 –> 02:23:17.280
Beautiful.

02:23:19.280 –> 02:23:33.440
Ipid, since it’s restrained and it sees all three of its heads lined up perfectly, his blade turns red hot with its searing smite, and he slices through all three of the heads.

02:23:35.040 –> 02:23:40.079
As you decapitate it three times over, the heads fall to the ground around you.

02:23:40.399 –> 02:23:40.959
Nice.

02:23:41.280 –> 02:23:41.840
Wait a second.

02:23:41.920 –> 02:23:44.079
Does that count for the little curse thing I got?

02:23:44.399 –> 02:23:44.959
It does.

02:23:45.600 –> 02:23:46.079
Holy shit.

02:23:46.399 –> 02:23:47.040
Three times.

02:23:47.360 –> 02:23:48.239
Three times?

02:23:49.360 –> 02:23:52.719
I only used one spell slot, so I’ll get the one spell slot back.

02:23:52.959 –> 02:23:56.239
So you regain the spell slot, and your sword gains three souls.

02:23:57.200 –> 02:23:58.479
Yeah, thankfully.

02:23:58.799 –> 02:23:59.200
And what?

02:24:00.000 –> 02:24:02.319
Doesn’t like a mark show up on my sword, too?

02:24:02.639 –> 02:24:05.120
Yeah, the mark on your sword glows now.

02:24:06.079 –> 02:24:09.280
Ipid, feeling good after the kill, looks back at his sword, and now he doesn’t.

02:24:09.680 –> 02:24:10.239
And scorn.

02:24:10.319 –> 02:24:12.879
I know the damage is wrong, but it would have killed it anyway.

02:24:13.440 –> 02:24:14.159
Why would happen?

02:24:14.639 –> 02:24:15.280
Alright.

02:24:15.600 –> 02:24:17.600
Will you do anything else with your turn?

02:24:18.159 –> 02:24:19.040
No, I think that’s everything.

02:24:20.000 –> 02:24:25.040
And it stacked on the damage from later and now on the searing smite.

02:24:25.840 –> 02:24:26.719
Why did it do that?

02:24:26.959 –> 02:24:28.239
It’s just a weird bug.

02:24:28.479 –> 02:24:30.000
Because it was only supposed to be one 2D.

02:24:30.239 –> 02:24:32.319
It was just 2d6, and that’s it.

02:24:32.639 –> 02:24:32.959
Yeah.

02:24:33.200 –> 02:24:33.440
Okay.

02:24:34.079 –> 02:24:35.600
Scorn, it is your turn.

02:24:35.920 –> 02:24:40.000
One Chimera has been slain, and the other is heavily wounded.

02:24:40.639 –> 02:24:40.959
Okay.

02:24:42.879 –> 02:24:43.360
Two, three.

02:24:43.680 –> 02:24:47.200
I want to go here and strike him.

02:24:47.600 –> 02:24:49.600
Let’s see if it does anything.

02:24:49.920 –> 02:24:50.159
That does.

02:24:54.319 –> 02:24:55.360
See some damage here.

02:24:55.600 –> 02:24:56.079
That’s weak.

02:24:56.319 –> 02:24:57.520
Nine points of damage.

02:24:57.840 –> 02:25:01.120
And then I’m going to move back a bit.

02:25:02.399 –> 02:25:03.360
And this will be done.

02:25:03.680 –> 02:25:04.239
Ibid.

02:25:05.440 –> 02:25:05.920
That’s the one.

02:25:06.799 –> 02:25:15.120
You have a moment to appreciate what it feels like to be cooked as you see flames come spittering out of the dragon’s mouth on the chimera.

02:25:16.079 –> 02:25:22.639
Out of all the days that Ibid wishes he was born to his mother’s genes of being a red dragon.

02:25:22.959 –> 02:25:24.799
Make a dexterity saving throw.

02:25:25.120 –> 02:25:25.440
Okay.

02:25:26.000 –> 02:25:27.520
But no, my brother got that.

02:25:29.079 –> 02:25:29.559
Fucking hit.

02:25:29.719 –> 02:25:30.440
22.

02:25:31.399 –> 02:25:34.920
As the flames go roaring over you, you take half damage.

02:25:35.239 –> 02:25:37.639
It’s still scorching you deeply.

02:25:38.280 –> 02:25:39.000
Yeah, it is.

02:25:39.239 –> 02:25:40.280
God damn.

02:25:41.159 –> 02:25:42.600
Wait, and hold on.

02:25:42.920 –> 02:25:44.120
Holy shit, yeah, never mind.

02:25:44.440 –> 02:25:47.639
Every ten minutes, that’s like a hundred-something rounds.

02:25:50.760 –> 02:25:52.440
I was looking at my regeneration ring.

02:25:52.520 –> 02:25:54.120
I was like, maybe I get back.

02:25:57.239 –> 02:25:59.719
Ash hit with his great sword once.

02:26:00.040 –> 02:26:01.799
And Starling, it is your turn.

02:26:02.120 –> 02:26:02.440
Okay.

02:26:02.680 –> 02:26:03.719
Um, let’s see.

02:26:03.959 –> 02:26:06.200
Yeah, I’m gonna move all the way up to the bastard.

02:26:06.840 –> 02:26:11.399
And we’re gonna do it’s like DC Constitution 15 saving throw.

02:26:11.719 –> 02:26:13.079
It makes the saving throw.

02:26:13.719 –> 02:26:14.920
It still takes half damage.

02:26:15.159 –> 02:26:15.719
Nice.

02:26:16.600 –> 02:26:19.079
You see the wounds on the creature grow larger.

02:26:19.239 –> 02:26:20.600
Do you have a bonus action?

02:26:21.079 –> 02:26:23.159
Like a spit on it as a free action.

02:26:24.680 –> 02:26:25.159
Alright.

02:26:25.799 –> 02:26:26.840
That’s my turn.

02:26:27.879 –> 02:26:29.319
Aldric, it is your turn.

02:26:29.639 –> 02:26:32.440
So one of them is dead, and the other one, how does that look?

02:26:32.760 –> 02:26:34.440
It is looking really bad.

02:26:34.760 –> 02:26:38.920
It is covered in bleeding wounds and is staggering.

02:26:39.239 –> 02:26:39.559
Okay.

02:26:41.159 –> 02:26:41.479
Okay.

02:26:41.639 –> 02:26:45.879
Well, I’ll run up to it arrogantly, I guess.

02:26:46.200 –> 02:26:49.719
And try burning hands on it.

02:26:51.079 –> 02:26:52.840
Aldric can look arrogant.

02:26:53.479 –> 02:26:55.159
I’m so proud of Aldrin.

02:26:57.239 –> 02:26:57.639
I don’t know.

02:26:57.719 –> 02:27:00.680
I guess he would stop before the flames would reach other people.

02:27:00.920 –> 02:27:06.040
So his walking would be up to where that comb begins.

02:27:07.239 –> 02:27:08.200
So back here.

02:27:08.440 –> 02:27:08.600
Yeah.

02:27:08.920 –> 02:27:10.440
So he doesn’t cook Starling.

02:27:10.760 –> 02:27:10.920
Yeah.

02:27:11.159 –> 02:27:12.760
Yeah, he doesn’t want to cook Starling.

02:27:13.159 –> 02:27:16.280
So it’s a big 14 saving throw.

02:27:16.920 –> 02:27:19.239
Just see him pushing his glasses up on his mouth.

02:27:19.959 –> 02:27:21.000
Like he means by this.

02:27:21.879 –> 02:27:23.079
It makes the saving throw.

02:27:23.239 –> 02:27:24.040
Roll damage.

02:27:25.239 –> 02:27:27.959
Roll damage makes it five on light.

02:27:28.200 –> 02:27:28.600
Is that enough?

02:27:30.760 –> 02:27:31.639
Oh, it’s not enough.

02:27:31.799 –> 02:27:32.040
Okay.

02:27:33.799 –> 02:27:46.840
One thing is the spell I used before, it says something about if the creature dies while restrained by the spell, the burning roots explode.

02:27:47.159 –> 02:27:48.200
So, oops.

02:27:48.760 –> 02:27:51.399
Also, it takes 2d6 out the start of its turn.

02:27:51.719 –> 02:27:53.959
Yeah, but that was on the dead one.

02:27:54.200 –> 02:27:54.920
It died now.

02:27:55.000 –> 02:27:59.639
So it’s gonna, because it’s been killed, a fiery burst or something shit.

02:28:00.360 –> 02:28:01.479
Everyone within 10 feet.

02:28:01.639 –> 02:28:05.319
So if it and fit an ash.

02:28:06.200 –> 02:28:07.879
Make a deck starting throw.

02:28:08.200 –> 02:28:09.000
This is lovely.

02:28:09.319 –> 02:28:09.959
Sorry, guys.

02:28:10.280 –> 02:28:12.520
I don’t have a clue what the DC would be for that.

02:28:13.159 –> 02:28:14.760
What’s your normal spell save, DC?

02:28:14.920 –> 02:28:15.639
That’s what it would be.

02:28:15.959 –> 02:28:17.479
I think it’s like 14.

02:28:18.120 –> 02:28:18.920
Don’t say that.

02:28:19.239 –> 02:28:19.959
Let me see.

02:28:22.200 –> 02:28:23.959
It’s yeah, 14.

02:28:26.440 –> 02:28:28.040
Well, 2D6 fire damage.

02:28:28.360 –> 02:28:28.520
Okay.

02:28:28.760 –> 02:28:30.200
Aldrich’s like, sorry, guys.

02:28:30.520 –> 02:28:33.559
Sometimes the fire, you know, playing with fire.

02:28:34.760 –> 02:28:35.639
Understandable.

02:28:41.239 –> 02:28:44.040
Does it get the chimera of Poseidon?

02:28:44.280 –> 02:28:44.840
It does.

02:28:45.159 –> 02:28:48.520
Well, he would have a deck starting soon for as well, I guess.

02:28:48.840 –> 02:28:49.639
The other chimera.

02:28:49.719 –> 02:28:50.840
The other chimera is dead.

02:28:51.639 –> 02:28:53.000
This is like from before.

02:28:54.440 –> 02:28:57.000
Upon his death, the thing explodes.

02:28:58.680 –> 02:29:01.719
Aldric, if you don’t have a bonus action, it will be Ipid’s turn.

02:29:02.040 –> 02:29:02.920
Yeah, go for it.

02:29:03.239 –> 02:29:04.360
This sucks.

02:29:08.680 –> 02:29:12.200
Ipid’s going to take a bonus action and heal himself.

02:29:15.719 –> 02:29:21.399
And he’s going to go ahead and go ahead and give himself 20 lay on hand.

02:29:21.799 –> 02:29:23.399
Hopefully, I have 10 left.

02:29:27.239 –> 02:29:27.879
And then.

02:29:28.440 –> 02:29:28.920
Hold on.

02:29:31.799 –> 02:29:36.040
And then for his regular action, he’s taking his great sword at what the hell?

02:29:36.200 –> 02:29:37.479
Why do I have so many tabs?

02:29:37.719 –> 02:29:38.520
Is it 23?

02:29:38.840 –> 02:29:39.639
The hits?

02:29:40.280 –> 02:29:42.040
He’ll take the 14 damage.

02:29:42.360 –> 02:29:43.559
How do you kill this one?

02:29:43.799 –> 02:29:44.360
Oh, thank God.

02:29:45.079 –> 02:29:46.200
Ipid is.

02:29:47.319 –> 02:29:47.719
I don’t know.

02:29:47.959 –> 02:29:50.120
He’s just going to stab it where its heart is.

02:29:51.719 –> 02:29:55.879
He’s just going to lunge himself into the chest of the chimera.

02:29:55.959 –> 02:29:56.760
Hopefully attack.

02:29:57.000 –> 02:29:59.479
Hopefully, slice, you know, skewering all three of its hearts.

02:29:59.719 –> 02:30:00.280
It has three.

02:30:02.520 –> 02:30:05.000
You feel it stop moving on your blade.

02:30:05.319 –> 02:30:06.200
That’s what she said.

02:30:07.479 –> 02:30:10.360
And you hear laughter.

02:30:14.440 –> 02:30:17.000
Get this guy a fucking cough drop.

02:30:22.280 –> 02:30:23.399
You need a backup, buddy.

02:30:23.479 –> 02:30:25.159
I can’t understand what you just said.

02:30:28.040 –> 02:30:28.920
I am bleeding.

02:30:30.159 –> 02:30:31.440
Pleased with you, Ipid.

02:30:32.159 –> 02:30:34.000
Oh god, it’s this asshole again.

02:30:35.280 –> 02:30:36.399
These are chimeras.

02:30:36.479 –> 02:30:37.920
I was just defending myself.

02:30:38.239 –> 02:30:39.920
You don’t hear anything further from him.

02:30:40.239 –> 02:30:44.479
You know, I don’t know if you can hear me, but next time you possess me, ask for consent, asshole.

02:30:47.680 –> 02:30:48.719
Well, that was funny.

02:30:48.959 –> 02:30:50.399
Hippid’s just shouting by himself.

02:30:50.559 –> 02:30:51.200
Sorry, guys.

02:30:54.239 –> 02:30:55.200
He does that.

02:30:58.399 –> 02:31:00.079
Is it going to be like this the whole journey?

02:31:00.319 –> 02:31:03.120
Every time we move, like, a little bit, we’re going to get attacked.

02:31:03.360 –> 02:31:06.399
Oh, I don’t think it’s going to be like this the whole journey.

02:31:06.559 –> 02:31:08.959
I think it’s going to rapidly get worse.

02:31:11.120 –> 02:31:12.399
Hey, but good job, team.

02:31:12.479 –> 02:31:13.040
Let’s bring it in.

02:31:13.200 –> 02:31:17.520
And if it gets everybody together, he’s like, I feel like we did a really good job there.

02:31:17.840 –> 02:31:19.680
You know, Starling, you did gray.

02:31:19.840 –> 02:31:23.200
Aldric, I really liked how you gratefully walked up to that guy.

02:31:25.680 –> 02:31:26.639
Yeah, man.

02:31:26.959 –> 02:31:28.879
Yeah, I’m so happy to have you guys.

02:31:29.200 –> 02:31:29.680
Thanks.

02:31:30.239 –> 02:31:31.440
Starling, I think you’re on mute.

02:31:31.680 –> 02:31:32.959
How did you know what I was saying, man?

02:31:33.520 –> 02:31:34.239
I just saw.

02:31:35.840 –> 02:31:37.840
We saw your mouth move, but nothing come out of it.

02:31:38.879 –> 02:31:39.120
Yeah.

02:31:39.440 –> 02:31:41.200
Anyway, great job, team.

02:31:41.840 –> 02:31:42.159
Yeah.

02:31:43.120 –> 02:31:44.079
Yeah, that went well.

02:31:44.399 –> 02:31:45.600
Hey, is the kid fine?

02:31:45.760 –> 02:31:48.159
He yells at the pussy wagon.

02:31:50.719 –> 02:31:51.360
You hear.

02:31:51.920 –> 02:31:54.000
Oh gosh, I shouldn’t have forgotten her name.

02:31:54.319 –> 02:31:56.159
It’s only been like an hour.

02:31:56.399 –> 02:31:57.360
Volcara?

02:31:57.680 –> 02:31:58.479
Volcara.

02:31:58.719 –> 02:31:59.200
Volcara.

02:31:59.360 –> 02:32:00.079
Yeah, Volcara.

02:32:00.159 –> 02:32:01.520
You hear Volcara.

02:32:02.799 –> 02:32:03.680
It’s alright.

02:32:04.319 –> 02:32:06.000
He’s fine, but what do I do?

02:32:06.079 –> 02:32:06.559
He’s awake.

02:32:06.639 –> 02:32:07.600
Should I knock him out?

02:32:07.920 –> 02:32:08.639
Oh, shit.

02:32:10.159 –> 02:32:11.520
Absolutely not.

02:32:11.840 –> 02:32:13.840
No, no, no, don’t knock him out.

02:32:14.000 –> 02:32:16.079
Ipid to the wagon.

02:32:17.040 –> 02:32:19.680
It’s like, see, this is what I’m worried about.

02:32:20.000 –> 02:32:22.000
The kid’s gonna wake up anyway, Aldric.

02:32:22.559 –> 02:32:25.200
Aldrich’s panicking and running back as well.

02:32:29.040 –> 02:32:37.040
You see the boy sitting up and quietly staring at the woman with large black wings looming over him.

02:32:37.360 –> 02:32:40.879
Ipid rushes into the wagon covered in chimera blood.

02:32:41.040 –> 02:32:42.559
Like, it’s okay, kid.

02:32:42.879 –> 02:32:44.079
You’re safe with us.

02:32:48.479 –> 02:32:52.079
Looking at Ipid, the woman seems a lot friendlier now.

02:32:56.319 –> 02:32:58.559
A scorn climbs to the back of the wagon.

02:32:58.879 –> 02:33:00.079
See, you two have met.

02:33:00.399 –> 02:33:01.680
The boy looks at you.

02:33:02.239 –> 02:33:03.840
And who are you?

02:33:04.159 –> 02:33:04.799
All of you.

02:33:05.040 –> 02:33:06.479
Why am I in your wagon?

02:33:06.799 –> 02:33:08.639
Well, it seems safest to get you out of town.

02:33:08.879 –> 02:33:09.040
Yeah.

02:33:09.280 –> 02:33:10.959
Also, this is your guardian angel.

02:33:11.040 –> 02:33:12.239
Don’t don’t annoy her.

02:33:12.479 –> 02:33:18.159
He looks up and notices that Volkara has a very sharp smile.

02:33:19.760 –> 02:33:21.280
Orn, you got any booths?

02:33:21.520 –> 02:33:22.000
Always.

02:33:22.639 –> 02:33:24.639
Do you need some alcohol, Volkara?

02:33:24.879 –> 02:33:26.319
She looks over at Aldrich.

02:33:26.559 –> 02:33:28.639
You know exactly what to say.

02:33:29.600 –> 02:33:29.920
Yeah.

02:33:31.520 –> 02:33:32.000
Sure.

02:33:32.559 –> 02:33:34.799
Yeah, Scorn passes her a flask.

02:33:35.120 –> 02:33:36.959
He says, Be sure to leave some for the boy.

02:33:37.040 –> 02:33:38.559
And both of you leave some for me.

02:33:41.440 –> 02:33:43.200
We’re giving the boy alcohol.

02:33:43.280 –> 02:33:44.559
What are you talking about?

02:33:44.879 –> 02:33:47.120
He’s drinking.

02:33:47.440 –> 02:33:47.600
Yeah.

02:33:49.040 –> 02:33:50.000
He’s a teenager.

02:33:50.959 –> 02:33:51.760
He’s not allowed to.

02:33:52.479 –> 02:33:53.840
I didn’t drink when I was a teenager.

02:33:53.920 –> 02:33:55.360
I didn’t mean he should either.

02:33:56.000 –> 02:33:56.479
You didn’t?

02:33:56.959 –> 02:33:57.280
God, man.

02:33:57.360 –> 02:33:57.680
Where do you think?

02:33:58.000 –> 02:34:01.760
Volcara take a long drink out of the flask and then pass it to the boy.

02:34:02.079 –> 02:34:02.319
No!

02:34:02.799 –> 02:34:04.559
Aldrich snatches it up from it.

02:34:04.719 –> 02:34:04.879
No!

02:34:05.200 –> 02:34:07.280
And immediately begins sputtering.

02:34:07.840 –> 02:34:08.479
God damn it.

02:34:08.799 –> 02:34:10.000
Oh, you’re wasting it here.

02:34:10.079 –> 02:34:10.959
I’ll take that.

02:34:12.159 –> 02:34:14.479
Guys, I didn’t think we’d have to say this.

02:34:14.719 –> 02:34:18.079
Don’t give alcohol to the child, please.

02:34:20.319 –> 02:34:21.280
He’s not a child.

02:34:21.360 –> 02:34:22.799
He’s a teenager.

02:34:23.120 –> 02:34:24.319
That’s a child.

02:34:24.959 –> 02:34:27.200
Well, evidently he knows what he likes, and this isn’t it.

02:34:28.159 –> 02:34:28.399
God.

02:34:28.959 –> 02:34:31.360
Aldric grabs the boy by the shoulders.

02:34:31.520 –> 02:34:35.600
It’s like, do not take any more alcohol from these people.

02:34:35.920 –> 02:34:37.520
The boy looks at you.

02:34:38.159 –> 02:34:41.920
The big, draconic man shaking him.

02:34:43.120 –> 02:34:46.319
Eyes wide, he shuffles back to the other side of the wagon.

02:34:46.639 –> 02:34:47.760
Oh, what seems to see?

02:34:48.239 –> 02:34:49.520
Look, see, now he’s drunk.

02:34:49.680 –> 02:34:50.879
Look at what you guys did.

02:34:51.680 –> 02:34:54.079
He’s frightened because you’re here.

02:34:54.399 –> 02:34:54.799
What is that?

02:34:54.879 –> 02:34:54.959
What?

02:34:55.120 –> 02:34:55.200
What?

02:34:56.559 –> 02:34:58.399
Aldrich’s going to stand outside for a minute.

02:34:58.959 –> 02:35:00.639
You’ve got blood all over you.

02:35:00.959 –> 02:35:03.360
Aldrich’s going to step outside for a minute.

02:35:03.600 –> 02:35:04.799
You don’t know what he’s doing.

02:35:05.440 –> 02:35:08.319
Alright, and this is where we’re going to wrap up for tonight.

02:35:09.200 –> 02:35:10.079
Sounds good.

02:35:11.040 –> 02:35:15.040
We’re going to pick up in the wagon after combat next time.

02:35:18.319 –> 02:35:20.399
Do you want us to send you a character goal?

02:35:20.719 –> 02:35:21.040
Yeah.

02:35:21.360 –> 02:35:23.040
Of an ability you want to develop.

02:35:23.360 –> 02:35:26.399
I’ll get you that to you before next session, hopefully.

02:35:27.200 –> 02:35:29.680
Can it be an ability we already have that we want to develop more?

02:35:31.239 –> 02:35:32.120
Is it something new?

02:35:32.920 –> 02:35:35.319
I could be developing a current ability more.

02:35:36.040 –> 02:35:37.079
All right, well, thank you guys.

02:35:37.159 –> 02:35:38.360
I’ll see you next week.

02:35:38.680 –> 02:35:39.639
Thank you very much.

02:35:39.959 –> 02:35:40.200
All right.

02:35:40.360 –> 02:35:41.000
All right, guys.

02:35:41.479 –> 02:35:43.559
You have a good night, Daisy Wagon Squad.

02:35:44.200 –> 02:35:45.319
Highly entertaining.

02:35:45.879 –> 02:35:46.680
Very good.

02:35:47.639 –> 02:35:47.879
Yeah.

02:35:48.120 –> 02:35:48.920
See you later.

02:35:49.239 –> 02:35:49.799
Good night.

02:35:50.040 –> 02:35:50.920
Y’all have a good one.

02:35:51.079 –> 02:35:51.399
Bye.

02:35:51.799 –> 02:35:52.600
Have a good one.
