You have returned, You have returned warm This is it Dale? Oh wait,
they did it, the warm the warmth is back. And Cheppye reaches
out to whoever's close to her, even if no one's there. She's like
grasping for something. They did it. Jimmy Frog is telling Cheppy that they
brought warmth to the Dale? Did it all? Ray? Did it be
cast the spell? That's amazing? Are they all right? I Jeffy doesn't
know. She she just knows that warmth is coming back. Should we go
back? You can all probably see a bright glow from down below the tower
as you are preparing to begin your ritual to cast the tiny hut. You
can You've got Kingsport collected, who was waiting for you all, and Velin
was just about to get the tiny hut casted back again, and you can
all see down below this bright light from where the myth will are is,
and you can see this silhouetted figure of Terry l And and what looks to
be an axe beak. Okay, we're you done. We can just gogre
and we're not going that much more. Well, yeah, there's more we
have to do. And who's to say that or real can't come back and
just turn it off again. But it's going to come back, There's no
doubt about it. We also have one of the Brotherhood who are encountered for
as well, right sir, I think we have to continue what we're doing.
And Belling set up her hut. I think Terryell would know with Ray
to come back up here once they're done. They wouldn't just stay down there.
They would definitely come back. You made it very clear that we were
going this way. It's okay. Do you need any help villain setting up?
I'm almost done. You just need a couple of moments. I would
check on Avarice and Hurst and see if they need anything or if we can
provide anything or whatever, and then we'll go from there. Yet some rest
would be welcome, definitely. Does anyone need any food or anything? I
think I'm all ready, And Morris pulls out a long fish of knucklehead shredded
knucklehead jerky. You even have that stuff here? Yeah, that's more as
well if anybody wants Yeah, no, I'll take some, please, thank
you? And actually does an you want to have a way of contacting Carryelle
or or Rage is to make sure that they are coming up here. Once
I'm done with this, I can go ahead and send a message their way,
hopefully, although they are quite far. Don't you leave frog with them?
We did? Oh my goodness, Jeby did leave frog with him.
You're a genius in Chppy's eyes, kind of like, go over frog,
like, what does she see? Sheppie, make a perception check for me?
Actually, no, I'm sorry. A constitution saving throw Core page fifteen
fifteen is enough barely. The overwhelming light hits you like square in the face
as this. I don't know how else to describe it, but this tangible
feeling of light is overwhelming your eyes. You can see the silhouetted now back
into human form version or half our form version of Ray and carry El.
Carryell seemingly focused very hard, as bursts of energy sort of surround his body,
the mythelar tandrils tendrils of energy seemingly wrapping around him. You can see
Ray trying to grab him and recoiling in pain as he is somehow burned by
this power. Carryel is spilling light out from his armor, out from his
sword, and little bits are sort of silhouetted. It's this almost strobe light
like effect that is emanating from him, and you can hear Ray sort of
yelling for Terry L as this is happening. There's something wrong, something's wrong
with him. He somethings. The Missler is doing something to Terryell. It's
not okay down there. I think Terry Ell is gonna die. Okay,
okay, ating panic. Chippy's panicking and her people here, and we will,
we will, we will rotate back to them. It's gonna take us
a little bit. Make an arcana check. While you're watching this, You're
you're not quite sure what is happening exactly, but Terrio is seemingly bursting with
this energy and you can feel, even through this perspective of Frog, this
overwhelming, like this pressure on you. I don't know how you feel this,
but you do. It is resonating through Frog. There's a vast amount
of power being released. And remembering what happened with Ray and when Ray tried
to control the myth Lar, you know that this is a very taxing effort.
But you're not quite sure what is happening right now. If you look
at Cheppy right now, what would look like normally frog eyes have essentially just
like completely, her pupils have completely dilated to almost like pin like holes.
Her eyes are just white and then these little pin holes throughout. There's there's
this weird light coming from him. It's like this energy that Chebby just can't
It's immense. Chebby's never felt something like this before. Rollin inside, check
check. Ray is still holding on to TERRYO. But as much power as
you think is here, Terry All is seemingly controlling things. He has this
in hand. It is overwhelming. Certainly they are taking This is all taking
a toll on both of them, but they are succeeding. She's gonna like
reach her hand out again, like if someone is there, she's gonna grasp
them and there's like little tears coming down from her eyes. Now the I
think they're doing it and he's holding it, but Ray is burned, His
hands are burned, and Terry Ell is screaming, it's what can we do?
No. The energy suddenly dissipates and now standing before you, you see
the light begin to dim, but it does not dim. Inside Terry l
you see his eyes glowing and power traveling all through his armor and his sword,
the edges of his sword glow with light, and you can see symbol
etched in pure light around his sword and weapon, and you can hear this
conversation begin now with Ray and Tario Ontario speaking about the Morning Lord. Are
you okay, Harry mm hmm are you glad? Yeah? God, I
can't see right? Are you hurty? I'll be all right? Light and
men stay back. I don't know if I'm so y I did? I
had you finally recognized me? What the Morning Lord is? He spoke to
me finally, and I I feel enlightened. I feel like I know a
more knowledge than i'd ever known before. You know now the sword that you
hold, the armor that you wear, they are magical. The sword you
now hold has been named First Light. I'm on a tour. I think
Terry All just kind of looks at Ray and tears are kind of coming down
his eyes and controlled me. I found my path right, and so have
you? Oh got your hands? And he looks at his sword. Oh,
I'll you can do it, you know. I feel like we can
defeat or really this sword, this weapon, this armor. I finally found
my purpose. I can't explain it, but First Light in hand and I'm
off the morning, Lord, I am miss champion, and and I think,
uh, Tero. When Terrio looks up at Ray, he doesn't see
Ray too much. He kind of seems like a silhouette of Silvanas and uh,
and he kind of keeps it to himself, is it You're okay?
And he puts his hand on his shoulder. You you're gonna do great things,
great things. But it's not for me to tell. Okay, we
have to get back to the others. I'm sure that that power is probably
felt throughout the land. This is not this is not safe anymore. We
have to go okay, okay, yeah, here, come on, come
on, back away. And I think Terry at this point realizes that he's
standing super close to him at Lara, and Uh does to grab Ray and
pulls back with not giving a sign. We have to you have to steal
this off. We have to not let her control it. You have to
get to the others, let them know what happened. I have to sort
through my thoughts. We need to rest. Okay, I'm I'm actually exhausted,
and I feel like in my faint at any time, it's actually hard
to breathe. Okay, let's let's make away over there. We just keep
our eyes out. I don't know if there's any other crazy shit around here,
all right, okay, I think Rol just lets him walk in front
of him, and he's just kind of like, oh, yes, you
you are able to understand the sword and this armor. You are attuned to
them. Oh for right now? The sword is a plus one magical weapon
and the armor is a plus one magical armor. But you know, but
the Morning Lord has intended for these weapons and these this weapon and this armor
to grow with you over time. M right, well, do what I
must make you proud everyone, including myself. Finally, Terry's just mumbling behind
you, as you will, champion a savions. Let's go. Then.
I'm trying to pick up the pace, and I think at this point Terry's
legs is just quivering. H Every step is not good. He's trying to
stay up. He feels heavy. It feels like every life as this was
drained out of him. He's high, he's warm, but he's still radiating
with happiness. I don't forgive me, are you. I don't think I'm
gonna make it over there. I don't know, no, no, hold
on, hold on, right he turns around and he's Ray has some herbs
and stuff that he's been smashing into his palms painfully, and he's wrapped his
hands with some cloth he had and he comes over to Totariol and even though
he's much smaller, he's got his his arm around his his waist, is
like, Okay, we're going to do this together, all right. It's
just over there that we've gone so much further than that, right, let's
go, come on, let's step okay, and aryoll falls lead. You
make your way to the base of the tower. And I'm not sure did
the rest of you come down or did you stay up at the top wait
for waiting for them. I think we would have stayed up, just chepy,
kind of watching the scene unfold. She'd be telling the party everything that's
going on. Okay, So Terry, el you and Ray begin to climb
the stairs a bit arduously. You can hear some talking, you know,
at the top of the stairs, but you do make your way up,
meeting up with the group as they are preparing. You see Vellain finishing up
the ritual for a tiny hut spell. And I think Terry, I'll just
kind of like falls over and passes out. Hold him up, hold him
up that run over to him and just kind of like grab him and fall
on the floor with him. And I think she would just put him in
her lap and kind of just start like rubbing his head and looking down at
him with this giant smile. We've done it, everyone, You've done it,
but it's not over yet. Reody walks over to him any any sort
of structure, anything that's a wall, and he puts his back against it
and just sort of slides down and doesn't doesn't really talk, just just sort
of unfocused and just hanging out there. You can see the wraps sort of
around Ray's hands are a bit tattered, some burns on his hands. You
can see ridges maybe where he touched the chain of Terry ELL's armor. Terry
all looks okay, maybe someone should check on Ray. Ray, how you
feeling body? I'm fine. Are you feeling You're feeling fine? Don't lie
to me, Ray, don't lie to me. Let's see here, it's
been a long day. Starting medically expecting him lift up your arms and man,
okay, and let me see your eyebows. All right, okay,
And then sniffs pitch okay, that's all right, stands work, super weird
man. It's well, I'm trying to respect and see, how are you
doing it? Doesn't seems fine? Kay? Yeah, he's fine. Thanks,
you're welcome. I mean, you got anything for his hands? And
look a little rough? Let me see it. May have said give me
snot on him or something like okay easy, I can't quite shude. It's
just because command doesn't mean that I can do it. Oh this time,
okay, just mean it a bit dry down here, I'm here with you.
Look at everybody's faces right now that they're disgusted. But you have literally
blessed us with your snot many of times. And you know why they say
bless you when you sneak it's me. It's because you man, it's me
goblins unsight is what? Also? You can say, I don't think I
have anything here and that can help your hands. I'm sorry, bully.
Can you just try like see if it works? No? No, no,
no, no no no, just do it man, No okay,
let me just try my best here. You could just wrap it with some
new rags, maybe start putting boogies all over it. I mean, it
might work. It's work before I have concerns about how we've made it this
far. Oh God, yeah, and I just sneeze all over your hands.
Okay, okay, So what are you trying to use any sort of
special yeay, just it's not shp okay. Can you do any good?
Do you can help Chippy get Terry ll inside of that? Of course?
Of course? Awly from the boogies. And what about us? I don't
know if you have made this hut, but I suppose the rest of us
you wait outside or in the tower. In the tower, well, do
we do you have any means of forming your own shelter for a camp we
had of shelter. But if you're not exactly the same spell that you have,
so what's the problem here? If you have a mean, so you
should go ahead and use it. Man, very well, wait in the
tower, Come the rest of you. We must set up a perimeter.
You we wait at the base. Keep an eye out. Avarice starts directing
for people as well as the gargoyles who clamp away. There's stone footprints reverberating
the tower and the glass and the rest of you, I guess are helping
Terry all inside and ray uh huh okay, very tired, exhausted Mortie.
Yep, what you've done is amazing, though, thank you, h could
I have done it without you? All? Though that's true, we should
probably maybe rest or something or is that what we're all thinking and doing here?
Because what are watches? I'm gonna yes, probably for a most welcome
does Does anyone have anything to eat? I can't? Oh my god,
I had a raction? I don't. Oh you do, man, don't
lie because he just gave me one show. Got you? This y has
more faith when you did, and can't be also has some much Well that's
great. Good to you know. Ray has it like on his wrists and
he's eating it. I'll help him if I can. I'll just like hold
it up for him. Someone feed him. Do you want to feed him
the baby bed? Do we want to feed him? No? No,
no, no no no no, don't I've got teeth? No do the
baby? Butterfly? Baby butterfly. It's like, hey, you get the
babies to eat the food like a butterfly. I'm actually am I am okay
with that. Actually I'm not saying half fried's like dried fish, like yeah,
like flapping its way yet no, all right, even better, even
better because you love knucklehead. The only way to eat knucklehead. Trust just
to set up the scene, right, Butterfly, they're doing this and I'm
going to eat so it does look like child, It's literally like a child.
I want it perfect, fine, ye, eat up, eat up?
Maybe if you first and then and now I'm gonna eat it like a
duck. I don't want to taste it careful, hurt, I just walk.
You can stay up for first watch Oka sitting with Terry L and Morty.
We know you don't, okay, I'm just gonna be laid down now,
thank you. Thanks. I don't feel really well. Yes the nights,
all of you know, I'm gonna be as quiet as I can during
my watch, So just when you're on your watch, I expect you all
to do the same. Thank you. Wake us up good, and I'm
going to then probably as everyone started starts to get ready for bed, I'm
gonna take out I'm gonna rifle around in my my bag and kick out a
bunch of wood pegs that all fit together to some sort of uh really haphazard
alchemy. Shit. I also uh light up some dumb looking fuel it looks
like a glob like maybe some proto flammable snot that looks sort of like sterno,
and I spark that and then I also start bubbling some different things,
and I fill a liquid from my pouch into it, and I just start
testing and creating a lot of the same potion. I'm gonna do eleven uh,
eleven healing potions and then an experimental one. Uh. And then when
I'm done with that, I'm also going to rifle around in my bag for
an old piece of chain, uh, and then an old iron block,
and I'm gonna use the iron block as an anvil and my hammer, and
I'm going to make this uh story this this that's probably a lot of time.
So this, yeah, just to clarify this. Uh. You can
begin to prepare these things, but they take time to brew and whatnot.
And then while they're brewing, I'm gonna do this bit and I'm gonna infuse
an item and create a headband of intellect. Okay, it's gonna be like
a little chain that goes around my head with a pendant on your front of
it, and I'm gonna wear it under my hood. I'm gonna take probably
multiple throughout the evening probably and maybe even into the next watch, because I'm
gonna get hyper focused on it and try to finish it. And that's pretty
much what I'm gonna be doing this whole time, is just I'll still be
around the talking chef, but that's what my hands are. Joey, Yeah,
you're getting stuff prepared. You know it's going to have to brew all
all night. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Chappie, you're I don't know,
is this like the first time you've actually watched Mortis prepare these potions?
Definitely. She is just sitting back kind of with Terry all still in her
lapse, and she uses absbsolutely mesmerized. Are you like more little grossed out
too? Because there's a lot of there's a lot of weird substances that she's
like never seen in her life, and she's like, it's not safe.
I'm glad I'm over here. But something like a little light bulb goes off
in her head, a little torch, and she's like, Morty, yeah,
you're a magician right with all this. I mean some could say that
could you pass? The clouded blood is right by your hoof here? She
kind of like kicks the hoof over and like pushes the clotted blood his way.
Can you make alcohol? Like? Can you make can you make alcohol?
Like? Beer? Can indies in these things with your snot? And
yeah, if you want, I mean it'll take a bit. I could
probably distal something. It'll be a little bit faster. But I don't know
if I could well make you a beer, you will take you a long
time. You're telling me you could have done this this whole time, Chippies,
we could have at least had like a beer by moonlight, freezing cold.
Okay, I could do that. I mean it's gonna take me a
little bit, but I could need to get some things and gonna make some
sort of mash and also figure out how to get it to a boil.
And they'll correct ide used, of course, but I'll do my bit.
Chippy, you can definitely help bringing to a boil. Okay, all right?
Well them, The only thing I have that could ferment, and probably
not very well, is just fish. You want to fish beer? I
mean, like any beer is a beer. We could try it. Okay,
let's try it. And I think it takes so like an extra an
old mug and then tries to figure out a way to move some things over
and create some sort of beer or mash with what he has. Brewing amazing
is an absolute awe oh god, even for me. It's nasty and uh
yeah, and then I just I could make a toxic I can make a
caustic brew if you like. But yeah, I will, yeah, continue
to I think I'm more focused on other things. But I'm just sort of
just learned something when I googled fish beer. Apparently Guinness has fish guts in
it. What what yep, fish beer. I guess that's what she is
getting. She's getting a Guinness. That's it. And this is where we
create Guinness historically is in the is in the rhyme of the frustrating forty's Finest
fish Beer. Right, mortis out and give me a give me an into
check on this one. I don't have my headband yet, but I will
do it. Yeah. If you had brewers tools, you could technically make
that. It would take an hour. Yeah, so what is it without
your proficiency? So it would have just been no, No, we'll take
the first role. So seventeen, yeah, seventeen you think you could do
it, You're not sure how it's gonna taste, but you're pretty sure you
could make it. You got to whip up some brewers tools. Gotta be
real nasty though. Yeah, it's gonna take me an hour to do that.
So yeah, I'm gonna start after the alchemist tools are already shut and
bubbling. Then I start to fiddle through my bag and try to make brewers
tools, try the right tool for the job. But it's gonna take an
hour for me to make them. And then that's probably what we'll do during
this watch. Mortis is not quiet by any means, by the way,
when he said he was going to be quiet, but my actions are not.
Yeah, I'm I've been like, there's lots of twinkering noise, like
exactly glasses. Yeah, it's like your friend being quiet but doing the dishes
in the morning, Like what are you doing? This just doesn't help.
Like when somebody knocks over like a giant like batch of pans and pots,
Yeah, horrific noise being quiet and you're like, no, you weren't.
You were doing the dishes, you dummy anyway, So that's what that's what
happens. You're just super loud and he's trying to be quiet, and he's
trying to have this wholesome moment, trying to make a weird ass fish beer
who is Cheppie but also is a loud, clunky mess. Now, Chepie,
are you staying inside the hut for your watch? Is that where this
is going down right now? I think so? Mortals, where do you
think? I don't think he cares about if? Yeah, it's horrific.
All of you, all of you are none of you are sleeping it.
Shut the fuck up. I am I'm looking quiet, just another little bit.
I'm being quiet. I don't feel what the big day is. What
do you just look like a little tiny bit quiet? Okay, sure,
that's definitely better, shy. Does anybody know what animals are? Death?
And I'll just turn into what I think you turn me into that as well.
Throughout the watch, like Chuppie will be kind of sitting down with terry
L, but he's so out cold that like she'll probably get up and kind
of look outside the tent see if they need anything, like take a look
around, and then she'll come back in. Okay, make a perception check
for me, please. Definitely it's a four four Okay. Yeah, they're
kind of setting up as best they can in the tower like some people are
on the stairs. Avarice has like two people sort of patrolling like up and
down, and they've made you know, it's sort of like on the bottom
floor. Basically, they've they've made like a little area to camp down there.
Okay, but they're periodically like coming back up. They cannot enter that
hut, and they cannot they can tell you can technically hear stuff that is
happening outside. You can't see anything that's happening outside from the hut. Yeah,
and they can't see uh correct, Okay, yeah, so she would
definitely like exiting kind of I should clarify. I believe the hut is not
invisible, but it's kind of like camouflaged. Oh okay, yeah, I
think Cheppy would probably just like step outside for a couple of minutes, especially
with how stinky in there is. She's like, yeah, I'm down to
take a little bit of time out here. So she'll walk around see if
anyone needs anything, and then she'll go back in see how Morty is.
Oh fine, Okay, she kind of closes the tent backup. Okay,
So just to clarify, Vallain, what is the tiny hut like for you
what have you? What has it been created here? Is it a tent
or what is it? Well, it's it's supposed to be like a dome
shape, and it would be you know, whatever solid color that I would
come up, which normally what I do is I'll make it the color of
the surroundings, so maybe like the color of the floor that it's attached to
or something like that. For what you guys have, this is in a
tower and in this section where you where uh, where you would put the
hut? You you only really have two places you can put it. You
can put it on top of the tower or inside the glass rotating dome that
has the the the supports on either side. So what do you think it's
set up to look like in there? If you're if you're putting it in
there, hmmm. I don't think I can do multiple colors. I think
it's just one. So if it's like a crystal, I'll kind of make
it like an ice blue, I guess. Yeah, So Shepy you're kind
of keeping an eye out, but there's a lot going on, you know,
you're not doing the best paying attention, Okay, And for all intents
and purposes, your watch goes uninterrupted. Amazing. Yeah, Chepie will just
hang out with Morty until it's bedtime and she'll probably wake up. Actually,
Mordy, who do you think we should wake up? We should be next
her? No, I think he's probably like unconscious right now, like Cheppy's
literally been kind of drunk. Prescott his hands hurt, maybe maybe missing me.
Okay, I think I gave you too good answeres of course you're giving
your great answers. Morty, thank you has knocked over like one of the
one of the careful stills you were setting up for your horrific fish mash careful
Was that all right? Well? Then you picking so foul? It smells
like chum. This is deliciously disgusting. Thank you. How does his look,
by the way, I wish? Oh my god, it's very fancy
morning. What is that? I don't know? I found you. It
was like an own necklace or something that we found outside of you somewhere here.
It looks good. Yeah, that looks amazing. It's a very big
necklace. I feel good. Well it's it's now a headband, you see.
I got rid of the I got rid of all the other bullshit chain
and now it's now. I look at it, it looks like you look
amazing. It is beautiful. I feel real, feel like I feel brighter.
You know. It's like a part of me feels like I could figure
out the things that the most. Uh. I could solve a lot of
problems with this, you know. Oh my god, that's amazing because we're
always smart, always smart before, but now I feel so much smarter.
I don't know what it is. It's like, yeah, really, I
will am Oh is it like another eye? You know, have like not
just the skull, but you have this one. Now. It's amazing.
You have three so also the the first letter of intelligence, so that's it's
my third intelligence. Beautiful. Yeah, it feels really nice. All Right,
I want to go get some sleep because my brain is tired because of
all this thinking. So I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna pass out, you
know, all right, you wake up whoever? Okay, I'll just go
wake them up. That's fine. Night. Yeah. I think Shepi would
probably walk over to Nissa Fir and give her a little shake y say,
Nissa, have I gotten a full est? Definitely not. It's been it's
been like three hours. I think I would. I would kind of like
stumble awake and just it's so hurt, so sleep sorry. You would have
everybody would have gotten a short rest by now, except for Chappie and Mortis.
You need a little more time, okay, just fall asleep. Oh
man, Yeah, Cheppie would probably she would go over to moon Brook and
see if she was able to wake up, see how she's feeling. Okay,
I just need one more a good hour, and I'll be good to
go. But whatever, I'll get up, I'll get up mm hmm wake
if moon Brook from her meditation, well, I was just gonna say before
we do that, if if Chappie was to stay awake for another hour,
would she still be able to get along rest in you would all have to
sleep another hour in that case. The way that the timing works, basically
the group has to rest for an extra hour if you want to do Okay,
I think that's fine. I think instead of instead of waking up moon
Brook, Chappie will kind of like just sit down next to her and try
and stay awake. Okay, okay, I'm gonna go back sleep, wake
me up in one hour specifically, all right, I think, Kaby,
we will do her best in an hour. Chappie, make a constitution saving
throw for me. Please. Okay, you are going to take a level
of exhaustion, which if you manage to get a full night sleep, we'll
go away. But you do take a level of exhaustion staying up. You've
had a very long day, everyone has, and even you still need some
sleep and you're definitely feeling it. So you are fighting the effects of exhaustion
yourself, and it's pretty hard to keep focused do anything. Keep watch.
Yeah, I think Chepy just tries her best. Like she kind of just
like sit down, play with frog. She'll walk around a little bit,
just try not to fall asleep. Okay, about thirty minutes or so,
asked Cheppie, trying to let Moonbrook finish her meditation Ontario. Please make a
perception check for me. Twelve twelve, Jeppie, you think you heard a
muffled scream. Cheppie is going to stand up, and she's going to go
over to the door and she's just going to like the smallest to mount open
it to look out. Looking outside. You seem to notice nothing. There
was a there was one of the nights of ARUs, patrolling up and down
the stairs looking outside, you don't see them. Cheppie is going to stand
in the doorway. She's going to stay silent, and she's going to ready
an aldritch blast, and she's going to watch that hallway and if someone tries
to get in the door, she's going to try to elderch blasphem. There's
so basically there's like a there's a spiral staircase that leads down and you can
see like the top of the stairs, but you don't have like a great
angle does seem much past that. So I'm just curious how you want to
do this. So I guess like she's able to see a little bit into
that, right the staircase that goes down, because she would know someone was
walking by it. Okay, so you position yourself like at the top of
the staircase. No, she's gonna stay in the hut. She's staying in
the hut, and she's like looking out through the door. So you can
see you got you're up above, Yeah, the top of the tower,
and you can see just like the top of that staircase stairs. Yeah,
there are open areas in the glass where the the sky shuttles would sort of
dock with these with these supports around the glass here, and you can like
lean your head out if you wanted to, but you're gonna kind of like
just look down. Yeah, she's just gonna be looking down that staircase to
see if someone she doesn't know is coming up. She really wants everyone to
try to sleep. Nothing. Minute passes, two minutes past, still no
guard, three minutes past, still on guard. At this point, I
think Cheppi is like sweating a little bit from just like concentrating so hard on
what to do. And we're able to see through the walls of this hut,
right, it's like transparent. You cannot see through the walls of the
hut. No, No, we can't. Okay. I think she's still
just kind of like listening and looking out to try and just last sense,
just again, just to describe the area, just so you understand. The
hut is not see through, but you are in a glass. Yeah,
so the hut itself is inside that glass dome. Definitely. Yeah. I
still think she's just going to do that. She she's not going to leave
the hut. There's no way she can leave. Oh so we can't see
out of the hut. We just can't see into it. Oh, okay,
all right, Okay, So if that's the case, she is going
to be looking around to see through the hut and the glass if there's anything
going on outside. Nope, see nothing. If she faces towards the tower
and she looks out down towards the mithilar, is there anything or people walking
towards it? Make an investigation check with disadvantage, m you don't see any
people, Like, there's nobody around the mythillar. Nothing really jumps out as
strange beyond that, Okay, Chepie's gonna keep staying here and watching and just
listening. She's definitely a lot more alert, even though she's like absolutely exhausted.
Like any sign of something, she's definitely gonna wake the party up.
Like if someone comes up to attack. Okay, five minutes pass, still
no guard, Cheppie, ten minutes pass, now guard When you went out
before, it definitely was not taking guard this long to patrol they maybe,
you know, wait at the bottom of the stairs for a few minutes,
then head back up. Frog Frog Jebby hates to do this, but she
has to know what's going on down there. Frog, you gotta go.
You gotta take one for the team. You got your little jacket on,
and she's gonna like take him down and look at him in his little suit.
Frog. Jebby has to stay here. You gotta go down, Jibby.
N easy, okay, And Jebby's gonna like kind of squat down and
she's going to lay Frog get down on the ground outside of the hut.
Uh there is no ground outside of the hut. It's thirty feet up.
Oh so we are I see yep, she's going to stand back up.
Never mind, Jeppie cannot drop you thirty feet She's going to keep watching down
the stairs. Then see what happens. Okay, dokie. Twenty minutes nothing,
thirty minutes nothing. I think after this point in time, Cheppie knows
she's been only counting on hers and frogs fingies, how long they've been waiting.
It's got to be time. And Cheppie just gets over to Moonbrook as
quick as she can and she starts giving her shake her meditations. Still not
done. She's got another half hour. Another. I thought it was only
a half hour left. It's another one. Okay, she's gonna have to
wait, killing me, they're killing me smiles. There's chivvy. She doesn't
know what to do. What's going on? Remember, the guard is gone?
What do you mean the god's gone? There was a guard like a
half hour ago. Cheppie saw this guard and he was checking it on things,
and he hasn't come back. And she even heard like this muffled scream,
but nothing else has happened. So she's just kind of scared. You're
all so loud, lady. I always have my eye if you'd like,
well, you going get up for that one? Oh, but it would
make checking quiet. I will do anything we might have to, really to
be so sorry. There could be something bad going on. What if our
wheels back? You look beautiful? No, it looked like I just took
a tumble in the goddamn march you said for a half hour. It's terrible.
Sorry, ms go to the door and look out really fast for Chappie
to see if I see anything. Yeah, you take a look, go
ahead and give me a perception check numbers a natural one. Did we not
just talk about nothing? I don't see anything. It just looks like the
top of the tower down below. You take a look around, you know,
yetherin in the periphery in you know, just your your area here in
the district. Mm hmm. Everything looks kind of quiet, chivvy. I
don't know what you're talking about. You know, go ahead, do your
eyeball ship and I'm gonna go over here and rest for like any more minutes.
All right, just slap me a little bit, Chippy, slap good
one on the left. She cap come, okay, Chippy is gonna like
walk over and like cover her eyes with the stump arm or the yes because
horse fling with your stump. We gotta cover her eyes. Think about it,
Oh, coral for a slap, not a condumn face back to my
graadium. What's a start of it? It's a fist. Well, it's
a nub nub to the face. You see. It was equation to get
to that baseball bat because of the anyway, uh to go ahead and I'll
go ahead, no cast arcane I outside of the hut. You see villain
sort of like close one of her eyes simultaneously as this happens, and there
is that weird vertigo for a second villain as the eye begins to be cast
outside the bull effect. Yeah, all right, where was it you said
you saw them last? The stairs? The spiral staircase. There was a
guard who kept coming up and down the stairs every once in a while,
and Jebby was kind of sitting over here, and then she heard this muffled
scream. And since then the guard hasn't come back. He doesn't know where
they went, right, hope, He says, I'm gonna go ahead and
look, Ala, hold on, I'll focus on the eye itself, and
I'll start going towards the staircase and down following that path. Villain, to
send your eye down. It doesn't take you long to see the nights and
the horrific display that awaits down below, just as they were frozen after they
died in that fight where when they were destroyed by the Demilish. You see
the Knight's frozen faces and figure in different figures, sort of up and down
the stairs, several against the wall, some in pieces. Well, this
does not bode well. Do you continue to dance. I'm gonna go ahead
and continue going down the path where I know that they were rotating. Mm
hmmm, continuing it doesn't well. One moment, continuing down the stairs,
you see blood on the walls and a message scrawled in common that reads I
want my book and my servant back shit scrifft scripe, am I able to
find avers anywhere. At the very bottom of the tower you see Avarice impaled
on one of her gargoyles, the other shattered checked Jappie, we are in
trouble. What do you mean? I believe that him that Scrivens cry has
made a return whilst we were indisposed. We're still kind of indisposed. Yes,
I am wholeheartedly aware of that. However, Avarice has been made into
a unicorn and is She's impaled on one of her garglers, and all the
nights are well, they're dead. I mean I suppose now I could probably
try and use them if most of them are frozen. Also, I don't
think I can, but all of them, they're all dead. Yes,
scriven Square didn't come up here though and hurt us. Maybe we're still safe
up here this We need this rest and Chippy hates to say this, but
we we can't go down there right now. Is Kingsport with us in the
hut? I would assume he would have been. He wants his journal back.
From what I can tell, it's very important and he wants Kingsport for
whatever reason, Kingsport, do you want to go back? Would have been
asleep? Okay, all right, you know what I'm going to do the
journal. It might have a secret in terms of something for him. Perhaps
I can and cost one of my supposes that allows me to understand languages,
and it'll be a little bit more quick of a read. It could be
dangerous. We don't know what's in there either. Maybe it's best for us
to wait. We don't know what tomorrow is gonna bring, so it might
be best for you just to go back to bed and Cheppy will make wake
up moon Brook when she's ready. An idea. You're gonna see Vellain take
the journal out of her bag and she'll slide scan off of her shoulder,
pulling the strap off. Scant darling, Ah, yes, if I take
a quick nap. Do you think you can decipher this membo jumbo? Definitely
not what you're supposed to be superintendented what's going on? I am? However,
the journal is written in many different languages, and there is a signer.
Oh oh, you're telling me I could work through this, but you
can't. Have you worked through it yet? I've worked through more than you
have. I believe that I have assisted you with it. Would you care
to try it on your own? No, that's not what I'm saying.
I thought it was what you were saying. Oh well, fine, maybe
a little bit tippy. Who side are you on? Jibby's on everyone side?
Right? I'll scratch that goldstamp idea. There was a very good idea,
though, what do you think? Maybe do you think you should go
back to bed and Chip you will wait it out another little bit. Ah,
this is very danger Nothing can attack us whilst we are inside the hut,
so long as it is not picking down. If that's the case,
then maybe Chappie will go to bed too, and Bloomberg might be up in
a little bit. I say we wake everyone up for a quick moment,
we have a quick chat, and then we go back to bed. I
don't they have every right to be part of this conversation. I don't think
we're going to be able to wake up Ray. You're terry yel though,
and everyone else needs their sleep. Nissa was saying how badly she was hurt,
and even Moombroo. Yes, and I am at the end of my
capacity here well in terms of magic, but we need to figure out a
goddamn plan. Jeppie, I can keep this hot up as long as we
need. But the scribbans cry is out there. Who knows you saw what's
litter during that fight? Chippie did, but he would have attacked us if
he could have, right, So maybe we are safe in here. Maybe
maybe he's shit. If you think it's for the best, then we have
to. But everyone really needs their rest. All right, Well, I'll
keep the hot tap and we'll we'll rest. Kay. Chippy will wake everyone
up if anything happens between now and when moon Brook gets up, right,
a half an hour or something, maybe a little bit longer. Chippy keeps
waking her up, and all right, she only needs a little more.
All right, I'm gonna go past something, okay, all right, okay,
so you're gonna wait half an hour? All right? Yeah, okay,
so uh you wait another half an hour and by now, uh,
moon Brook, your meditation would be done. Tariol's meditation would be done as
well. Anybody that wanted to other than those than than Tariol and moon Brook
it has rested, can use any hit dice they want for a short rest,
because you would have gotten a short rest. Otherwise it's up to you.
But you begin to finish your meditation, Brook, okay, how right,
I am here ready to rook. So what's going on when you wake
up? Cheppy's just sitting like right in front of you, just like waiting
for you to open your eyes? Yeah, moon Brook you okay, okay,
no, no, I'm o gonna stay awake. What's going on?
Okay? Valain helped Cheppie. The guard was missing. In fact, they're
all dead downstairs, Scriven Scrike came back. He left a message on the
wall that he wanted his book in the servant back. But we don't think
you can get us, so it might be best for us to stay here
and rest. But someone watching just in case is a good idea. Do
you take some rest? You definitely need to go to sleep. You look
really tired. Chevy looks terrible, poor thing. All right, come here,
cuddle a little cuddle while I would look so cab will keep you warm,
all right? So I Moon Brooke, how are you doing this of
sitting looking around? Because it's it nothing opaque or you can see out apparently
from the from the signette. I don't know how that's represented. I don't
know if it's like like a one way glass kind of thing, or if
it's like they're sort of like windows almost that you can see out of.
I don't know. It's however, Vellain wants that to be represented sweet.
But you can see terry Ll sort of stirring as well as he finishes his
meditation. M hmm, shame. Oh how are you feeling? I didn't
even feel like a chine's actually, I guess that's what it's humans experiences oversleep,
sleeping too hard? Ah, what's going on the time is it?
I don't know the time? I do know that they there was has been
a lot that's happened to you, and a lot that's happened to you.
Apparently the people below they're all dead. Wasn't a dream. It's a dream
of light and burning, the thought of vision. A god, where are
we? Oh? I remember? Hut. Oh that's pretty far down.
That's what's going on. You said, a god of what? Where's the
rest of them? Where's where's the oracles? Its Avarice Chap she's sleeping,
let us sleep. She's really exhausted. So yeah, apparently, like I
said, there's people dead downstairs. Excuse me driven scry Yes, I don't
know. Uh wrote on a wall and said that he wants his book back
and his servant. So I don't know what to do with that information.
He's bargaining, what do you mean? How many are dead? Where's Avarice?
I don't know, man, I needed She's powerful, made from the
Brotherhood. How could he even just waltz in here and do what he wants?
Furthermore, he didn't come after us, which is even more strange.
Can't really come after us in the hut? And as he dispells it,
I guess that's what I heard. That's what they said before. So everyone
down there is possibly dead? And how do you know where scrivens? Cry?
I rode on the wall. Yeah, she sent her eyebowled downstairs and
checked. Oh no her sorry, Vilain, Yeah, my brain. Okay,
I'm tired. I mean, yes, Vilain, I'm always tired.
Man. It's been I feel like this has been like the longest night,
you know what I mean. I mean technically it has. It's not been
day in years, and it's just NonStop since I met you all. So
yeah, I'm a little tiring. Okay, we need to find out what
the situation is like, shall I go take a look? No, God,
though, you're going to sit here with me, man, and we're
gonna sit here, and we're gonna wait until everybody's ready to go, because
if you go outside, who's to say that Scribbone Cries are out there hiding
and points a little finger, eating and die. So you know what I'm
saying, If we lost Avarice, if he lost her, and this is
not going to be good. She was a very powerful ally. Yeah,
well, there's a lot of things that's not good if we if we lost
Avarice, that that would be terrible. But yes, okay, we knew
this day would come. If it is scriven square, we knew he would
come back at some point. So we have an advantage on him. He
wants his book and he wants his what the pin things? Oh, I
wonder why he wants him specifically. He doesn't seem like he's no offense so
much. How well, well, I mean, what is powerful to you
might not be powerful to him, you know, or whatever. The reason
why I asked this might be good for us to use an eye advantage,
saying like Kingsport is a blind bloke who can find books being blind, It's
incredible. I think that's a that's a superpower all on its own. So
what book is he talking about. I don't know there's a book. I've
kind of been out of it. Man, I'm tired. Have you not
gotten the full turns? No? I have, but I'm like, like
I said, I feel like it's been the longest night. I understand you're
one of the best stealth sneaky people. I know. Yes, I'm glad
that you can say this with no malice and that I am the best.
I mean, I'm not going to go sneaking around in this, So if
you're curious, don't you take a look. I mean I could how do
Yeah, thank you forgetting well, I mean I can go to edge and
peek. I guess be sneaky about it. I don't know. I guess
we'll be able to wait until everyone is up and ready. But I feel
like the more we wait it gave me a compliment. Now I feel like
I got to do it because I feel like I am very sneaking. You
keep that confident you don't have to put yourself in danger. No, No,
we're going to do it because I feel like I feel like I need
to do this now. No, I'm going to do it. We're going
to do it. I'm going to go sneak outside. I I don't want
to be I'm doing it, and she goes she fucking you know, I
imagine I don't know how this hut is set up. There's a door,
so we're gonna go through the door the well. Yeah, you know before
you guys had set up that like grappling hook and rope situation to climb up.
I imagine that's how it happened again. Uh, you know, so
there's that there's the grappling hook in the rope that's you know, probably by
the side of the the the the the the pillars that in case the glass.
So is there like any sort of like ledge before there has to be
a ledge? I mean you can walk up to the to the opening.
Yeah, I want to walk up to the opening and look down top of
the You guys have rolled like eight times already for the fucking top of the
stairs. You see the top of the stairs. Sweet, well, I'm
gonna be sneaky and go down the stairs. I don't think that's a good
eye. I don't care. I mean, I didn't say that out loud
of just sneaked down the stairs. Okay, Yeah, you can climb down
the rope pretty easily, and you make your way to the rooftop basically of
the tower, and then you are at the sort of top of the spiral
staircase. Right now, Well, I'm going to be super stealthy, sneaky
trying to see if I could see anything. What's to start inching down the
stairs? Very very cool, Okay, here we can he all right.
That's the what's hilarious about this role is that this is the second worst number
that you can get on a stealth role because of your new special ability that
you got reliable talent. This is the same role because you can now turn
a two two, a nine on the roll into a ten. But you
have a plus eight, so that's the equivalent of that. Yep, and
it's still it's an eighteen, which is hilarious. Yes, yeah, I
get like a sick bonus. You got a plus eight on stealth. So
you begin to slink your way down through the shadows of this staircase. There
are magical torches that are lit along the way in sky says, and you
just try to do your best to stay out of the light and you're good
at this. Make your way down. You see the first night that is
frozen and ice sort of look of surprise on their face. Is there up
against the wall. You can see that there is a uh, there's basically
this set of claws raked across its neck. Okay, are they close they're
close to me, or they're on the stairs or on the stairs. You've
you've you've walked down the stairs a little bit, mm hmm. But you
can see them and there's claw marks. Yeah, well, man have a
role for that. It's pretty apparent. You can see them. They are
frozen solid direction where they're looking, uh as they're frozen solid. They were
up against the wall and you can see that they were just kind of looking
towards the center of this cylindrical tower. Okay, and their hands kind of
like up against the wall like this, And I'm gonna assume that like when
I look down some more, they're like everybody else's same direction looking various,
Yeah, various sights of like carnage on the way down. A few of
them are down on the ground, you know, like on the stairs.
You can see probably the bottom of the you know where where the stairs the
bottom floor, and you can see like a little camp was made down there,
and several of them are just like Frow is in there, and you
can see Avarice is impaled on one of the gargoyles down below. Fuck okay,
okay, well that's good to know. I feel like with they have
knowledge new books are gonna fuck around and find out. She's gonna try to
sneak back up the stairs, make your way back up the stairs, okay,
And I can't I I can't tell that anybody's like following me or watching
me or anything. Right, I'm watching you. Arial is in visible,
but you can make a a perception check, Okay. I always feel that
some mad wow. Oh wait wait, technically nineteen yeah, perception. Perception
is a proficient skill. Yeah so it's nineteen heck yah, all right cool.
Basically, unless you're all a natural one, the lowest you can get
on stealth and perception as an eighteen and nineteen respectively. Sweet sweet till I
like that? Do I feel like someone? I love it? Do I
feel like anything is watching me at this point besides terryo? Yeah? Yeah,
okay, all right, well I'm going to continue up. Did you
notice one thing. Oh, I noticed something, all right? You notice
that the the balcony is no longer empty on the tower Real is now standing
watch up above the central spire once again. Fuck okay, uh, I
hate everything. I hate everything. Okay, would she like? Would I
know that she could see me if I climb this fucking rope? Make an
insight check? Okay? Sorry, so you are not sure. It's pretty
far and there's a lot of stuff here, and you don't really know what
her capabilities are. She knows she is supposedly God, and I feel I
mean, she knows her fucking hair. I just don't want her to fucking
point at me and just be like dead ice heart ice, hurt, ice
hurt. Yeah. I fuck, I'm gonna look over there and I'm going
to see her. Fuck. I feel like Hombrooke is gonna try to play
it smart and not go back up. She knows that we're here, like,
but I don't want to give her a free target. So I'm scared.
Stay down at the bottom of the rope. I'm gonna hide my best
that I can at the top of the stairs. Chilling, literally chilling,
because I'm assumed that the air has gotten really fucking cold again now that she's
back. So so you just kind of sit at the top of the stairs,
Terriol. You can see moon Brook down there, Terrio, give me
an in perception check. M m mm hmm. Make it normal. Sorry,
an eight, you do not notice? Oh real, You're keeping in
a close eye on Brooke and moon Brook has stopped at the top of the
stairs. She's seen something, but you can't really make out where she's looking
at what's going on, but she has stopped. I'm gonna try to like
point at this at the balcony, Okay, Ariel. You begin to look
over, and I think you can get the idea she points at the balcony,
but you're maybe the angle is weird or something, but it's tough for
you to see. And I think you can infer that Reel has returned.
Yeah, I think Terio's gonna be like just signaling like an owl or something.
Yes, so like get your ass up here. It just points that's
the buddy christ Uh. He's gonna signal hard to get up here. She's
fast. She's a rope be in his head. He's like, no one
can get up here faster. Terry. It was just kind of like waving
you on. We'll fuck it, you know what. Let's be brave,
watch me out. R Okay, what works? Gonna just go for and
certain climbing rein Brook rushes over to the rope. Meanwhile, we rewind a
little bit and inside the Caves of Hunger, Leoric moves through as as a
person with purpose codos stil of white in hand. Yeah, Lee, Oric,
are you trying to be stealthy? I have okay, you make your
way past this grove. Make a stealth check for anybody's h m hm h
hold on getting care like the shees else all right, heavy armor. So
as you are making your way through the through the Caves of Hunger, past
the past the grove, everything is older and you were expecting. And it
was strange being in that city, wasn't it? Wasn't it, Leoric?
Very strange. Was it weird seeing your friends again? It was? It
was weird seeing them, seeing them all. I was not expecting post see
them, But I'm glad I did. I wonder if they are your friends?
And when you say is that you mean if they are my friends.
It's been a long time, a lot has happened, right, But I
think after a while. I think, after a while of walking, and
my feet start to hurt, and I start to question and start to and
I slink and try to crouch a little lower, and I walk and I
crouch, and I my legs start to burn, and then my muscles start
to burn in places I am not used to doing. And I think it's
all this crouching and moving, trying to move silently. I start to think
about why my legs are happening, why I'm even doing this to myself.
I also think about as a courtsil of white. I think about the friends
as well and what they are doing. And if I could even do this,
I know I can. It's not hard for me to hide in plain
sight. It's very obvious for me and my people to do it. I
have been doing it for years, and I have been doing this. I've
been able to make myself known when I need to, but able to at
least of course, keep disguise. And if I see anything down here,
I am not worried into replicating their lifestyle and who they are, so I
may pass without address. As you pass through the grove begin to pick up
and thoughts why does everybody leave me. I just want friends. I just
want friends. I've been here so long alone, I just want friends.
And I picked this up in my mind. Yes, I closed my eyes
for a moment. I opened them, shake a bit, and then I
try to open my eyes and try to listen to where that baby coming from.
You came through the grove before with the avarice as you made your way,
of course, of course, and I remember I'm meeting this woman,
this dry head, this triad. Yes, of course, she hasn't seemed
to notice you. As you make your way through the grove, passing by,
and it's getting colder with each step, making your way into the cave.
There's a moment where your appearance changes out of your control. For a
moment, there are leaves scattered throughout your hair, more feminine shape to you.
And then you remember, you remember the Yoric? Is it the orc?
That was his name? Right? Yes, yes, it was that
was his name. I take a moment, I sniff the air, and
then I change into this being. I think this is the drier. Yes,
you tell me, I changed into what I remember being the dryer.
It could count institution savings throughout for me. Please nineteen there's a moment that
you turn into the dryad and then you remember you were doing something, you
had a purpose. M h h hello, Hello, Hello, have you
returned? Hi? Hi, I'm only here for a little bit. Hello.
Yeah, I'm so so sorry. I'm just passing through, but I
could come by for a bit longer after. It's me, don't you remember?
But you look like me? I need your help. There's some people
I know. It doesn't matter. I just need to get out of here.
The dry head looks around, stunned, confused. She's back. Run
run what do you mean? She runs off into a tree, and as
she does, you see frosts and rhyme begin to coat all the surfaces,
making it even colier. All around you, there is a swirl of air
and frost as an owl like figure begins to make their way into the tunnels.
And that is where we will take our break. We'll be back in
just a few minutes. Everybody, if you have not done so, please
make sure you're following everyone here. Follow us are free, go make it

Come hang out on a discord tablestory dot tv slash discord for all the
wonderful shows that we put forth for you. We'll be back in just a
few minutes. Hang tight for more rhyme with the frostman. Yeah, remember,
make your way up the rope terry. I'll helping you into the into
this rotating uh glass porthole. Are you all right? Yeah? Yeah,
Man, she's back. She's fucking back, man, right as is dead.
Everybody's fucking dead down there. Man, Okay, man, who do
you think he said? You think Scripvens guy has done it? Or maybe
she did it? M h, I mean maybe, Okay, I have
I have an idea of a plan. I always try to see some kind
of light in this and I and I see something as dim. But we're
gonna need everything to throw it. Wait, first of all, did you
see Avarice dead? Fucking dead dead. Avarice was not frozen, by the
way she was impaled on this gargo. Everybody else is fro and looking towards
the middle of the room. In the world has a stringthen, just to
clarify, not everyone was looking that way the first first night that you came
across. They were in various states. I mean, insight check Brooke,
okay, insight Okay. They several of them looked like they were surprised,
and a couple there were a couple of them that looked like they put up
some kind of fight. So they some of them, I mean, it
obviously was like a surprise thing, but some of them did fight back,
so I don't know, whatever, it was just kind of fucked up.
They're all frozen, except for Avarice, who's on that gargoyle. You know,
we would do something like that. She was supposed to be, like,
I mean, a powerful Okay, all right, we need clear our
brains here. Let's think the good news. A war against your fucking guard,
all right. Well, apparently as a third player, and with that
gives that to our advantage. We have what he wants, right, We
have two bargaining ships here. We have a book or some name and and
and and his servant. We could use that as a bargaining ship, and
we can bargain and give them back to him if he help us with area.
If he's powerful enough to do what he did down there. This wouldn't
be the first time that we took someone and there was a potential enemy and
turned them into an ally. You see, he wasn't our enemy to begin
with. He was just looking for what he wanted and he felt threatened.
He seemed reasonable, messed up as ourselms, but it's probably something we could
do. He has something enslaved man. I mean, I don't think that's
very good, Like he's a good person or whatever the hell he is.
As I said, a bargaining chip. You have to deal with the bigger
fish before you deal with a smaller one. Wouldn't exactly trust him. I'm
not saying trust, but we have stuff that he wants. It's better than
not having anything at all. He's clearly not strong enough to go against her
himself, and he did leave the situation when we were all there, so
he knows that we are equally powerful in our own ways. Equally powerful I
don't know about and he's probably lying in that library if not, remember he
left. I'm not saying he's cowardice. I'm saying that he rethink, he
thought his situation and restrategized. Much time does he over this have? I
feel like time hasn't been moving at all. I'm also worried about the aurica.
He just sent him on a fool's errand by himself. And now she's
here. What happened to him? Oh god, this is all coming together.
We shouldn't have left him again. I have broken. I just keep
making the same mistakes over and over again. He needed to go, he
had to go. No, he didn't have to go. We should have
known that if a real wanted to be in here, she could be in
here. Something's not adding up. You know, she's too weak. Remember
we saw her when she was pretty weak. After her, you know,
she does a little thing. What bothers me is that I reversed all of
this. I felt I sent warmth out to the line. I felt it
changed everything. One. How does she feel about that too? Is she
just as confused and afraid as we are. I mean, she's probably pissed
at you. So I wonder if she's attuned to that device, because if
she is, she knows exactly where we are. She's been known where we
are. I think, you know, we fail to, you know,
really point out that when we were at that the keep. You know,
she she knew where we were. She knows that she's doing something about it.
That's one thing I don't understand these things are not adding means us to
do something for her. What does she need? Or she's a god,
She's been doing whatever she wanted for how many years has this place been on
the eyes? Gods need people to do their bidding. Gods need people to
worship them, or they don't. If there has been a shift in the
land, one of the of the believers have become non believers, that everyone
has should have felted outside Terryll. You would know that it takes some time
for this to actually happen, but it should have already begun. Well,
you can't go ahead on I say we bargain with this. Scriven's cry really
said to me, he will talk. You know that for sure. He's
a talker. So we find out what he once see if we could come
up with some kind of compromise, and if not too we always do what
what do you mean what we always do where we sit and we talk about
what we need to do for life days. No, I mean we overcome.
We have been put in very very bad situations left and right out there
with that try, I was going for my last stand. We came through.
Yeah, I mean, we'll go a few holes in my clothes being
down here. Yeah, I'm still breathing sometimes, I guess mostly. Well,
we wake up others and we discussed. That's my plan that I can
advise right now. I need time to strategize. I need to I need
to keep an eye on her and things and what's going on around us.
Well, I'll keep an eye out on her. Oh, you know,
the top of the stairs, probably her, because I could. I could
see it, but you couldn't even see her. You keep war angles,
Yeah, you keep watching on stairs. I'll keep watch on her. We
should probably say mm hmm until the week we were told, right, yeah,
if I could see her, hold on, let me see. Can
I see you from this angle? It's not a very good angle. So
okay, I gotta move man. I'll be fine. I've already been out
there. Are we in the tower that we were in before? Are we
in the tower in the leg of this thing in the middle? You know
you're in the tower that you were in before? The woman with the that
was the the sky shuttle, God always over there. Oh boy, okay,
I have And if that idea doesn't work, what we're gonna do is
we're gonna all make our way down right. You remember this area. We
go too far to the left, it's gonna ing. We keep going past
the first tower, the major shower that we went to. Go past that
one, and we end ourselves at the foot of that construct in the middle,
and we make our way up. There's two reasons why you go here.
One discribing Sky is hunting us quote unquote, I don't think he wants
to come anywhere near where Oriel is. Secondly, you don't know what's in
there, and a reel probably would not estimate the idea of us going anywhere
near It's safer. Just cover because up here we're sitting ducks. Agree.
Sounds good to me, Man, all right, we only bargain with Scripton's
cry if he shows up. And when he shows up, you have to
be confident, not afraid. I need everyone just stay near me, just
in case he tries to pull something like he pulled down there. But I
believe scribbons cry is a type of person who wants to send a message.
Otherwise you could have found a way to disrupt this hut or found a way
to do more damage he has, I hope. So make sure you're ready
yourself, shopping your weapons whatever you have to do. I'll keep an eye
out. Yeah, the other shouldn't be too much longer. Watch, No,
you stay here, not I can't see. It's okay. We know
what's what could be, and that's all that matters. Remember, we can't
split the group. And if I let anything happen to you, I'm pretty
sure, and it's a word I don't know, I'd be in good spirits.
Yeah, I mean, but you're not responsible for me. I mean,
I know you feel responsible for everyone in the group, but we're all
here on board, you know that, right stand there. But there was
a little someone that I don't know got mad at me for splitting up the
group every time one of them. Okay, well you know in that cave
that was really fucking dumb man. But you know that passes the past,
you know, all right? All right, so wash yourself down, get
struck by ice, I don't know, turned frozen. Should probably stay here
and I'll stay here. Good, all right, Just give me a look
out. We can see out of this a lease, we'll move your big
damn head man. I can't see up, but so are you too.
Just essentially going to stay and watch. Yeah, I think Terio's gonna grab
Moonbrook's hand and pull her towards everyone and try to stay within ten feet of
everybody at the least. Yes, Okay, so there has our spreads.
I've gotta watching. You're making it very much. It's you can look right
through it. You don't have to be so annoying man, all right.
Otherwise you continue your watch. There seems to be nothing readily apparent, but
you can make perception checks for both of you. Mm hmm. Yes,
I love eights on Professor sim symps. So that's technically ay nineteen for moon
brook Brook. You don't see anything out of the ordinary. Watch passes without
an problems, it seems. And do you keep watch for another three hours
for the final watch? Yeah? I think during this watch, Terrio is
gonna hold up divine since I said he has five of them as well.
Okay, okay, let me check on something. Okay, Tario, nothing
in your divine sense. Second watch passes nothing, The third watch passes and
nothing. You see people start to stir. Sheppee is still out like a
light. Yeah. I think Terrio is just gonna holding Chappie at this point,
uh and just has his cloak over Vellain that she's old and frail,
and uh, I guess who Brook will be next to Nissa and ray mm
hmmm, that's him. The rest of you begin to stir with the exception
of champion. Ah m hm m m good day or night or morning?
Or smells horrible in here? It smells like rotten fish? Man? What
is that? Do we have to ask what it is? It's either an
emulat I found, thank you had to look? Is there a way to
not smell it? Or turn the stink off stink button the air? And
yeah, wellly no, where did you open up the windows you need?
Whatever? The doors you do? Well, you're ned, you know.
Why don't you go check the stairs? No? No, no, just
stick his head out? All right? I believe that not everybody knows what
has happened, So let us work together here very quickly. Allow me to
finish my sentence before asking. So, last night a wee bit of a
kerf fluffle happened. Something you could say the night continue it was an interesting
human word. Last night all of the Knights were murdered by Scrivens cry alongside
Avarice was impaled on one of her gargoyles. And on the walls, he
wrote, I want my book and my servant back. So we're in a
bit of a pickle yet again, darlings, are we excited for it?
You can turn this around? Moon Brook went down and scattered out the area.
And to add some more icing on this cake, oriels back. Fuck,
we'll fuck me sideways? Why how did they happen? How did you
get one night everything? When I want your bid and only that? Does
that? Mean? Ly? Ork never made it? I'm very worried for
him. Oh it's soon. We just sent him to his death. Once
again. We don't know that. Hey, I don't have time or patient.
Maybe she came through before he could close it and he hid. Maybe
she came through well he was closing it. I could try to see through
the eyes of my familiar. I can't control no, no, no,
nor no, do that. You know if he's alive? Right right?
Right? Wait? Wait ray? He got him ray right yet you with
the hand hand it out burned. They're really burned. But I've got him
up like I can. Literally, I've got a spell I can use to
actually see him, okay, if you like me to use it. She
has an owl, which like those cage. You remember how like small they
were at times that that was not I was going to be able to fly
through that. It's sitting on his shoulders, so I won't be it's on
his shoulder. I'm not sure if I'm sorry, give it a shot before.
While you're doing that, I had an idea. I love this.
Your idea. What all splitting up and talking about her not splitting up anything,
but okay, go ahead, your idea. We lost efforts and that's
hurts. That's a big blow. Yeah. Serban's cries is strong, as
if he's done that. We have bargaining chips and he looks over to Kingsport
and he lowers his vice. They have bargaining chips. He wants a book,
and he wants m hm, why don't we convince him to help us?
You're gonna sworry. I don't. Okay, I see what you're saying.
He's a talker, but he didn't seem to care too much. You
know. He had this sort of air about him, like you just didn't
give a ship. He was afraid of her, and with her looming around,
he can't search for his precious whatever. He's looking for a scroll right
right, Well, to his benefit. Mm hmm. See even this looks
I am by the way I meant you did it. But remember how the
communications went last time. Scrubbins cryer is absolutely deranged, right, But we
didn't have anything he wanted. Oh that is fair, That's that's fair.
And I'm not arguing against us at all. I'm just putting out the potential's
issues. But I mean, honestly, yeah, might be able to get
an extra powerful a couple of hands on our side. That'd be nice.
I don't say we trust him, but in this case, we keep our
enemies closer, especially I do. He'll need to put him down. Though
he's absolutely take care of the bigger. We can trust that he will work
for his own best interest, can we not? He was more interested in
magical artifacts like someone We can give it a shot that I have no doubt
in my mind that he's not going to listen and he's going to go ahead
and try to slaughter results. So we need to be a bed for that
question, I think, because he want to. I still have and I
know this is ridiculous, but I still have this, and I pull out
this scroll that can like get us to another plane of existence and he wants
this book, right, Yes, have you deciphered what book is it?
I have no idea. It's a it's a journal. It's all ramblings.
He's written it in about like ninety different languages. It's going to take nine
million years to go through. We could, right that, we could get
rid of it like that, because we can with this can make a copy
of the book. Yes, because you do that the whole time. Yeah,
do we make a fucking copy of the book? Are we sure that
it's going to have all the contents? How are the how are you going
to write all of that? This thing is huge, Mortes, I don't
know he does. I'm asking if he can do it. We should give
it a try. And would you like him? No? I would not,
Okay, So, but we can assume that he's probably at the bottom
of the tower somewhere right, he's close. We can assume he's close.
He's hiding. Clearly, bloom Brook has went down. Moon Brook. You
let moon Brook walk off? Oh thank god she was. I stopped her.
I told her the significant staying with the group. And you know,
are you all right? Am I all right? Of course you might worry
about me. He's My thinking about this old thing is if it didn't kill
it, and that means you think you were a threat or thinks were important
for some reason. Otherwise, he couldn't just killed and get to us.
I don't know he had us. He had a lot of films. I'm
just saying, perhaps you could not. We need to We need to think
of all of the angles here. So can this be dispelled? Well,
yes, it's the appropriate levels of arkaing power. Correct, But if he
doesn't possess that arcane power, he can't do it. I say, he's
pretty fucking powerful. But again, let's not assume. Let's not assume that
he can just do it. Well, I say, we do, and
we prepare, Yeah, because isn't know what the end result is going to
be anyway that we prepare for the worst. But I'm just saying the way
we the way magics are, right, we all sort of specialize. I
know I can dispel magic. I know I can do that and get rid
of it capell and can you do it? No? Right, so there's
no way to assume that he can do it. Okay, Well, then
if you don't mind, can you check on the oric? What do we
do about or I'm not sure if it's going to work, but we'll see.
Can you listen while you do that. I will try to the mist
of my abilities to tune into whatever it is. I can go ahead and
see and hear. Okay, great, here's my second plan. If the
other plan goes to dog shit and we have to run or we have to
like find a different place, which we should because we're sitting in the middle
of feel like it's a bad thing. Okay, it could be useful,
pretty good different places. Okay, Mortis, I'm so sorry. The tower
that we were thinking about going to before everything went down, you know,
the foot of the shocked in the middle. We should probably make our way
to that. Oriol wouldn't expect us to go that way, and neither will
Scriblan Squire probably doesn't want to get anywhere near I might be able to.
Okay, we're concerned about a lot of different dangers, right plan name them
b Oh versus price verse. I can cast something, honest, it's kind
of interesting, sort of based off of what More just did to me once
where he turned me into a big gas cloud. I can do that to
us and for a couple of hours we can sort of just pop in and
out of that. We can fly around, we can move. Are we
taking on the properties of a gas cloud? Yeah, it would. It
takes like a minute to get into it, a minute to get out of
it. I mean you've got to sort of focus. But for a couple
of hours we could just do that solidify due to cold weather. Yeah,
telling me, I'm pretty sure we just stay as what we are, not
our real affect us as a gas cloud. If she knew it was us,
I mean, we're going to be a gas cloud. I can't.
I can't say that it won't. We can't get hurt. But we can
at least move fast in a way that's great. That's hang out slow in
a way no no, no fast, And in a way that's so fast
than me. That's a sason. I mean, if I had to,
if I had to as going as fast as you could, I don't know,
like six hundred feet every six seconds or something like that, I think
that's a great idea. Actually, all right, real good change him as
well? We could could we pick up ly Orc this way somehow? What's
wrong with Lyorc? Yeah? But when I cast this, I won't but
it's gonna take a fair amount of power. I can do this once,
and I can get all of us here right now. We can difference now
we have no Let me go ahead and look in on him and see if
I can actually see him before we start speculating about someone who is not here
right now. Yes, go ahead, very good. When I'm gonna go
ahead and try and see if I can see and hear through my owl,
close my eyes and see if I can link up? Is everything okay with
Valley? She seems to be like in a pretty bad okay, quite a
rewind for a second, even tell you because lyoric you saw real or what
you could only imagine to be, oh real, enter this area of the
caves of hunger. So I see how Yes, and I need to know
what you do? I will, I will, Oh boy, I think
what I do? Is am I hiding right now? Or if she could
clear see me plainly? There are the grove trees and things all about broken
bits of the ruins and whatnot. I don't think you know everything that she
is capable of, right, but I have a pretty good idea. Okay,
Yes, so I will sorry and approach her, right okay, Yes,
so yes, you approach this being you believe is a real this owl
like form, barn owl sort of face and horns. She comes through the
area where the Remoras were killed, where you and Avarice and the knights killed
the Ramarans. She descends into this grove, all of the pine needles and
things about the trees into ice over and rhyme forms. I think, Jelius
towards you. Did you begin to approach? Hm? I know if phara
amount have orion, but not amount that could. I found stories and I
know of what the followers do, but I do not know much more than
that. But I will approach and I will say, do you remember me?
You how something that belong to me? Right? I think a sweat
starts to then starts to then break onto leoric, but then also chills because
it's so cold, And I think, I do Do you remember who I
am? Have we met before? Before you say anything? Will youse the
one or raise me from the ice? Make a charisma check for me,
please? I'm not a saving throw, just a check. And I am
in the wrong sheet. Nineteen now that is that's that was morrises are all.
It's actually a twenty one. I did no such thing. You are
not what you appear? Right? How am I change thing? It comes
with? Do not lie to me? Did you raised? Y? Are
it from the ice? I know nothing of this, the oric, I
think once again. His sweat breaks out. Ham are you sure not?
Ever? Man in white, shooting ice from his finger cuts and the chilling
tools, the bone and never feeling it real approaches closer to you with each
step. It's like the temperature decreases five ten degrees. Mh you are a
liar. You light for yourself, but you cannot lie to me. Mm
hmm I was I'm crying to him, and says the owl that rests upon
your shoulders, belonging to Vellen is sort of flapping, terrified, flaps off
of your shoulders and flies into one of the trees nearby. H m hm
mm hmmm. Look, I don't know what you're right? Yeah? And
that change into my phone onlongated gray, the featureless, big large eyes,
black, and seemingly less and less hair as it starts to pull the keratin
back into the large scalp, and I grow only a couple more inches and
size my arms thin, grow forearms longer than my shoulders itself, and large
claws seem to pull from my fingers and I stand tall, maybe eyeing the
creature. I'd die, but still defeated. EM don't know what I can
do, and I think she or Oriole is hearing this in her mind mind
the answer returns in your mind, give back what belongs to me and leave
this place. Creature that was trying. As the pulls out the coat of
her mind mind mind line covered book book book with with with raw hide line
SpineLine for coded coded, and holds it out and out the head. Hello,
defeated. She takes the coatasil of white from your hands and then takes
a couple of steps back to that and claus start to close as if as
if are uncertain of what they've done. A flicker for a moment, back
back into leoric, and they start to walk away towards the entrance. As
they do, they eyes flick back to dark, and since they stand all
again, their claws start to wrapped from their fingers and they just disappear into
the darkness. A real pays you no mind and continues walking. We're gliding,
we're flurrying. You can't really tell. Thank you, thank you,
thank you for spelling me. I didn't no such thing. She ca continues
onward. It's at this point Vellan return to the present, and you yet
the sense from your owl. You begin to see and hear the sounds around
you through their perspective. But you see something unexpected. You see pine needles,
branches, some slight shaking. New York is nowhere insight and from this
distance, I'm probably not able to control my all either correct? Right?
Was I able to? Did I witness that at all? Or was it
just I've only tuned in. Now you've only tuned in. Now we'll shoot
everybody. We lost him, and so that sad? What? No,
he's not dead. Don't jump to the most extreme conclusion of cots. He's
disappeared. Something must have drove quill Away into the into the trees, I
mean into the trees, trees and the kit at the grove. Perhaps,
but they were they seemed diiced over. I mean they were okay, they
weren't hice over women even No, No, there's a lutch of fruit.
Did you see fruit? I only saw a very brief glimpse. Pray.
What about your spell? Yeah, I can do it if you want.
Well, that exaust you not too much now we must know what happened to
them. I may also still have I'm not sure, it's been a while
since I eat that fruit. But I could try to send a message over
a long distance to our friend. That will be that card gone. I'm
not sure if it still would work well. I mean, because I need
to sit down and figure out my spells for the day. So like,
whatever you guys need, I'll do it. We have to know what happened
to the orc. Whatever the best way to do that, that's what we
have to do, likely likely get I mean, with what please? All
right? If I attempt to cast this, what do we want to say?
I have only a brief few words. Are you okay? And where
where are you? Chabby Star? Sister Teril looks down and he kind of
like moves her hair out of her face and helps her sit up home on
the receiving party can answer that, yes, what if he's hurt? What
if he can't answer? Well, who's hurt? York? Oh, we
don't know. Speculation is going to do absolutely nothing other than delay us and
worrying over someone that we know nothing of. What has happened is also going
to do nothing but delay us and distract us. Are you going to send
it? I will send a message, yes, but I need to know
what i'm asking. I'm asking are you okay? That is? Have you
closed the entrance? Have you closed? Have you seen Oreo? Yes?
Yeah, we could, we could probably, we could probably make this shorter.
That way we can utilize it better. I could probably just tell him
to update us. That is a lot shorter than everything else. All right,
I have about twenty five words I can do. I guess just update
us if he's update us men? What but so update us on everything that
he's done, that we've We've got that squared away. What do we want
to tell him? That real? Yeah? Well we'll see how real if
we see you are real? Wouldn't he have obviously seen her though there's only
one way? No, not necessarily. She may have beat him to the
punch and those case stid around. Do you remember that? Like all the
different ways they were going. We can't lose him again? Need him or
Reel is here? What is your status? Maybe not say anything any updates?
Reel is here? Also, Avarice is dead. That's kind of an
important I would give it. I don't think he gives a fuck. About
Avarice honestly, well, he gives a fuck if we're all going to die
because Avarice is dead. We need him to come back. We need the
back. Yeah, I want him here or reel here, average get back
to us. Yes, you could say Avarice dead, come back? No,
IM turn already? So is there anything else before I try and cass
us. I'm not even guaranteeing this will work because it was a while ago.
What else can we say? I don't know. That's why I'm asking
you. No good luck to sending him off. We were to him back
here, all right, he can he can come back and still have good
luck coming back. I'm not saying go away all right, I'm going to
go ahead an attempt to cast sending in order to try and communicate with the
oric. Okay, what do you send the oric ending updates? O real
is here? We needed to come back averse state you wait, there is
no response anything yet. What do you say? Nothing? Nothing? No,
no, no, no no no any wait we'll get wait. Maybe
maybe maybe you're out range. Maybe if it's not as powerful as it should
be, maybe the fruit was bad. When when you send the sending spell,
are you able to tell whether or not it actually took effect. Like
let's say I intend to send it to the org, but you're right,
whether he received it or not essentially or is it kind of just a gamble.
You basically do not know if it connects. You don't get a busy
signal or anything like that. Unfortunately, there's like they either respond or they
don't. You shouldn't have sent them. I shouldn't have sent them. You
should have went with him. I did it again. I know you'll stop
it, and this is getting incredibly frustrating. Keep it together. Yeah,
we've been working together for this long and I am getting quite grated by this
bullshit where we're constantly worrying about things and we drag it out. Have no
loved ones or someone that you careful do. Let's move forward. Well,
let's move forward. We don't know wha Do you want me to use my
spell? Do you want me to use my spell on that? You know
what? My spell goes to the side and sits down. Okay, there
you goes. You's gonna take some time again, boy, it doesn't take
that long. Just do it right, thank you. I pull out a
I pull out the the silver mirror that I have, and I cast scrying.
Now there are some rolls to this if I remember, mm hmmm,
are you scrying on scrimp and scry? No, that's some joke. I
kind of want to now Scribven crying ride Scriven's crying. Yeah, it's really
good. That's good spell you're doing? Okay, what spell? You know?
You're right scrying? There's no Spens crying over spilt milky Dad. So
it takes ten minutes to cast. As Ray is beginning to get these ingredients
set up, the silver mirror and whatnot in this particular order. Smith,
can you just roll me a flat twenty please, no reason at all,
you got it? There's a five sound. I need to check on some
things. Okay. So while the group is sort of arguing and trying to
figure out what to do and panicking a little bit, Ray you begin to
tune in on this idea, this this person that you knew. You begin
to see in the darkness, hear things muffled and strange, as if you
were looking through their eyes eyes, And then suddenly you are within ten feet
of what you're expecting to be leoric, but instead you see this gray creature.
It is long limbed. It has strange eyes, but it does not
look like Lyoric. You see it skulking around through the caves that you came
through before passing dead remoraz mm hmm. I think as uh as rays focusing,
the mirror would have been down, faced up on the on the ground,
and as the spell completed, the mirror would have blacked out. And
his eyes are sort of they look like they're made of mirror, and I
think the images that I'm seeing they're not really you can't like, if someone's
looking at ray It, they would see those mirror eyes, but they don't
see their reflection, and they don't really see the same things he's seeing.
Just moving objects, just sort of moving about. I don't, uh,
I don't understand what I'm what I'm seeing. Maybe if this is, if
this is Leoric, maybe he had the change in there, something to hide
it. I don't know. His arms are really long, and its eyes
are big and black, and his face is blank, faces blank. I
mean, it's not it's not blank. It's just I don't know. I
don't understand. Is he still wearing like Lyric's clothes or is he does he
look sort of naked at this point, I imagine probably naked, no generals.
Okay, would I would I have any inkling that this feels wrong to
me from what I knew from Leoric and what I'd seen from him. Give
me an inside check. Okay. Fifteen, you've never seen him do this
before. Okay, You've seen him turn into other people, but never anything
like this. Okay, I don't. I don't understand if if this is
like I know, he used to use his shifting stuff to lend in or
hide or protect himself, and maybe this is what this is. But did
we never saw anything like this in the cave that I know of? Does
that? Does it sound familiar to anybody like anything we ran into? Could
they do this or like there's those like shadow creatures and anyone. No,
I can't see anybody around me right now. I'm just I don't know the
guy. I uh know, he's always went back to his original form for
that we know. We do know that. Thinking on it, do do
I possibly remember reading anything about something that he's described like this? You can
make a history check. Fourteen. There would be a few different things they've
mentioned changeling, and that sounds possible, could be doppelganger it could be.
There's other creatures and things that can change their appearance. It is quite prevalent
many other kinds of creatures. You didn't really know the orc or what le
York was capable of. It'll be a change line. I very well could
be him. Well, I mean it could. It could just be that
it's him. He's a change thing. Yet I've read about dopel gangers and
other various creators that can change their shape in that regard, But I don't
know. It doesn't exactly strike a particular chord. What about you scan anything
familiar in that case? As you said, it very well could be several
different things. From the description that the Druid is suggesting, it's ounds like
it may be a dumple ganger. And what does that's not really him that
I do not know? Hmm? Interesting, Well, he's yeah, Jimmy's
never heard of that before. So it's it's not a leoric or has it
always been Leoric? That cannot answer. But in regards to a dumpel ganger,
a dumpel ganger has various shape shifting abilities. They take on the appearance
of other humanoids, throwing off pursuit or alluring victims to their doom with misdirection
and disguise. They are known to spread fear, suspicion, and deceit,
and they are known to steal secrets. And we handled that thing. The
code is hill marvelous. York would never would he would never write Chippy Ray.
He would never. Unfortunately, if it is a dumple ganger, Oh
no, what if you've done the dumple ganger would be able to read creature's
surface thoughts. We we know that he wasn't doing the stuff that he usually
does, right, we all saw that. We've seen what Leork could do
before an alibut. But I assume yeah, but he recalled memories. But
he can remember. He can get into your service level thoughts. So the
questions you were asking, it's possible that he was able to read your answer
blind. I don't know how we could have known better. I know I
was excited to see him. No, that was a wonderful ruse. I'm
filled with rage as I am trying to hold on to sanity that I have.
No, you need the focus. You're stronger than that. What is
it? It doesn't mean at this point lost the book. We can assume
that we have he doesn't I can't. I can't see he doesn't have the
book, right, I'm like, I'm looking all around him and he's carrying
nothing, or it is carrying nothing, or they are carrying nothing. Yeah,
they have nothing on them, nothing. So if they did have it,
maybe they put it down. I don't know why. It was too
good to be true. You know, he's somewhere back there. I did
since something off. But how do you turn away someone that you lost right
exactly? No, I'm and this isn't on you, and I'm still watching
this creature move around. There's not many of us. Sometimes love is blind.
There's not really anything we can do about it. We didn't want to
turn away someone we thought was a friend. We got played. We thought
I was going to be able to right my wrongs. You know. Ever
since that day everything went wrong for me, and I thought that was the
redemption. Well, you have brought warmth back, You've done so much.
This is not then Why does my heart still feel cool? Because there are
still more wrongs to right down here and that as well. We have work
to do. As much as I would like to let you reflect on this,
we will die if we continue this, Harry. You know what I
can do. Right, Let's get through this and then you now work together.
We're trampling him back. We're still out there. Oh, we've given
a arresting there. I want to give him a choice. I know that
I had one. Ananga called to me. If he chooses to stay,
he stays, well, we'll find him again out there, surrounded by the
bones of that fucking giant. We'll get there. You cant make this place
safe first, but I will help you. We'll help definitely. Don't worry
about the ghosts of our past right now. Yes, I need to worry
about everyone sitting in this room, right here, right now. The others
are did. There's no one else who have our back. We're the only
ones who can save the dale. It's a little bit dawned to there,
well a pressure, but you're right, there is no one else who could
do it. No one had had the cannibi that way you go, No
one who would, Mary, I am this is a perfect time. Arguably
you did have the conversation. If they or about the legends of the past,
you know, Chris and all of that, you would and so m
yep, you may still have that opportunity eventually, can But right now,
Like I said, we can't be going chasing the ghosts of our past.
We need to live right now. We need to figure out what the hell
we're going to do. Sure, how do we fight a god? We
do what DRIs would do. That's why. Uh yeah, there's a great,
great point, Carrio. We got to do that. We gotta we
gotta have our own little thing. Right, I could be I could be
the I can I'm the category because I got the bone row right, And
you're like Wolfgard because you've got the fighter stuff, right, Frank Carrio,
we got this and moon Brook you're like Grich, right, you kind of
like Drich. I could be Dritch. I could be like a range dress.
No, no, no, no no, I'll take dress. Thank
you. Yeah, I know I'm thinking about it. I don't think it's
quite makes sense. I'll I'll be dressed. You can be category Christ Chappy,
what who's chippy? You were the one thing. It's like a cat,
and you can be this Ma is going to get up. I'd be
the cat. I literally can be a cat. That's true. You could
be a cat. Just talk about wait, hold on, what is what
would she be? So we can make her feel better any lla fell about.
This is called Thame building. Okay, it's also we're possible about the
guy leader. Yes one, yeah, yeah, laugh. Let's go to
our death with a sour face, Fela, give us a yeah, turn
on front upside gown. So beautiful, it's so scary, man, it
just doesn't reach your eyes. I don't know when did it hurt? You
have a beautiful smile, which just hurts to smile when you're all being insufferable.
It's not that it's not beautiful. If you say it's a little scary,
scary beautiful, Harry can ask you a questions. Scary you are?
You are scary gorgeous love, so don't worry about it. I like nuzzle
and brook a little. Get it tagged. Maybe after we save the world.
Okay, everybody, if you have a question, though you have question
figured out. We have Scrivens cry to deal with. Terry all mentioned going
over to that on the base of that thing when we saw there was the
door, So we can go into the tower. Right, Hey, I
have a couple different ways of getting us away in an oh shit moment,
right, I can make us gas and I've got this scroll, so we
need to sort of kind of be on the same page as a word in
the worst possible moment, all agree to doing because I'm not gonna make an
action, but considering just how everything feels right now, I just feel like
if we have an out, we need to be prepared for it, not
to run away. I don't want to run away, but I also don't
want to just die just because I can't make that decision myself, and I've
got this power, so I need everybody to sort of be together on all
this sort of stuff. Kay, right, greed, I am. I
will do whatever you willed you. I'm not gonna run off unless you old
you right, I'm here, Sure, I can't. I've been alone for
a long time and I don't want to do that anymore. I feel like
I've been in a group and group and group and group, and you keep
dying. I keep living and it's great, but it's not. It's pretty
lonely after a while, and it can't taken to that time. We were
in that place with the oh reel and like her, we had like the
snowflake shown her head and we are all alone and chuff and I was lost
for ages. I couldn't I don't know where you all were, and I'm
never gonna I don't want to be alone anymore. So whatever it is that
you will do, as long as I'm could be here, I would like
to help you. But also I think Cotarial you're right. We should do
what Geisha would do. And I think we should fight and bring the bring
warms back to the down, fight a god or something, because that would
be sweet, what a cool book, that would be. Right, She's
not going away and kill deer. Right, we have to do something about
this god if that means becoming gods ourselves trying who knows. Well, we're
the only ones who can get in and out of this place right now,
the only ones here. Well, we don't have the coach hill anymore,
so we we're the only ones who can get in here. I can get
us out, We thought so, and then the os people that came behind
us another old dead glause. We danglos the door. Yeah, well look
forward with that said, Yes, we finishing the spell that the real dead
there is likely to be. It's called strong amongst the land. People's face
may be shaken. We may have weakened reel in her power. She may
be vulnerable so we also know she keeps going to that tower, right,
there's got to be a reason for it. So I think that's our best
bet. She's trying to cast the spell, she's trying to bring the snow
back. We have to stop her before that happens, where she's going to
make all of fay Rune into ice. We can't let that happen, thank
you, Right, we gotta say no more missed it up, no more
got it? That's right. It was a g I y joke. I
give you, I just give you the park. You can't put your show.
So do we want to talk to grivenscrib We want to try and go
for the tower first? What are we doing? I'm pretty sure that's Scribbin's
guy will find us since we have what he wants. Okay, you continued
to the base is what I would say. I think so too. We
shouldn't waste any resources if he's just gonna find us anyways, Okay, okay,
am I loading everyone else? Am I loading a posion bulk? And
am I loading it regular? But what are we fighting? That's a good
place. Yeah, great session, everybody. Well, I'll say that was
awesome. Oh my god, my heart. I have a sweet no headman,
which also gives me nineteen intel, which is that's insanity. What is
Morty's end without it? Fourteen? Oh yeah, he's just been lying.
He's been but it's just been him saying it. No, he's not that
smell and I'm still smarter than him. Okay, yeah, yeah, great
job, everybody, well done, Welcome to level eleven. And uh yeah,
sorry for the surprise which one. Yeah right, it's also true Goonger
dopple Stopple uric Ainger. You know what, when I cast a spell,
I thought you were going to show me his grave. That's what I was
expecting. Oh. I was kind of wondering that as well too. I
was like, if that's not actually Laurie Leoric, if he's going to scry
Leoric, is it going to show like the Deadly Orck or I can answer
no questions? What if we're wrong? What if it is Leoric? Right?
What if Lework spend this this whole time? I feel like I'm gonna
say that's why, like literally my heart so when when the reveal happened and
then people were talking and then and like it just keeps going back and forth
and I'm not sure, I'm really not sure. What about when he came
back all cold? Maybe that was the doppelganger? Oh crazy? Do you
think he had his abilities? He had his cleric stuff. No, he
was freezing, but he leoric. Yeah yeah, that one. That one
couldn't cast any spells by the way, Yeah, I couldn't cast any spells.
Yeah. Now raise your hand if you think that he's been a doppelganger
the whole time. No, he can't. Well no, because the first
one was a cleric, you know, like he had the abilities. He
was a cleric, He had all this stuff about him. Did we ever
see him actually use the abilities? Oh? Yeah, successfully funked with our
minds. If anybody would like theory craft about this, I would love to
see the discord theory crafting. And then goes on. Remember we do have
