In Bellona's midtown. In Alexandria, the three party members let up bow heads
kind of downtown into the low town or her heads deeper into midtown. Where
did Ellie go with the first one to lead straight straight back to the guild,
straight back to the guild and kind of the in kind of a perfect
split here as one goes one way, one goes the other way, and
the third Ellie, you head through the town. How are you doing this?
You're just kind of walking through the street. You're taking alleyway as you
run across the rooftops. Mm hmm uh huh yeah, do you tell me
more? All right, you're muted? Oh tell me? Uh? I
was saying quick, probably quick through the alleyways quick, yeah, yeah,
I mean she's pissed off. She just wants to get back. Yeah,
okay from me, another dice. Everybody rolled me a dice at the beginning
here, but this is for something else. A fifteen mm hmmm. Do
we get the fine out what the first dice was for? Maybe? Oh?
Okay, A fifteen. I think you make good time while you're moving
through these alleyways and again, you know this place like the back of your
hand. You kind of you're kind of used to the flow of the city.
So even though you kind of move down these alleyways, you'll hop out
of the other end onto a main road and a cart will trundle by,
but you kind of, almost like a sixth sense, just move out of
the way of it. Kind of skipped to the left of a gentleman who's
carrying a sack of potatoes. A few swift steps and you're into another alleyway.
Most people don't seem to notice you as you move. You blend in
very naturally, skipping from alleyway to alleyway and making your way back to the
Assassins Guild. Once you come to that kind of crossroads, the wider street
that has the all of the taverns on it, you head down the slightly
smaller road. Do you go which entrance? Are you taking through the tavern
or you heading through then just heading in? Yeah. You open the door
and step inside, and you are immediately met with the sight of mister Kalougi
Silatio. He looks drunk. I'm so shocking, but he's still wearing his
kind of half assassin's garb, the relatively new fine dark clothing that it's quite
snugly to his boy. And then he has this kind of large garish coat
with fur in lay that's old. He has these big boots that he's found.
He's got these elks that he's wrapped around his hips, and you can
see now that he seems to have armed himself. He has a sort of
thin blade similar to what you have, but a little longer, maybe a
little thinner. Before I go in, I'd obviously signal that I'm I'm done,
if if the guy following me is still following me, and signal that
I'm done and that he can return. But otherwise I'd walk in, close
the door behind me, probably you know, lock it or barricade as we
had it before. Just look at him. As soon as you walk in,
he stands up. He's got just he just seems to be drinking from
the bottle now he's claiming bottle after bottle of gin and whiskey and moonshine.
He wanders over to you and memediately right, So I was thinking, right,
if if if a demon isn't back to like whatever hell realm they came
from, right, and they get stuck here like our fair monarch, then
they've got to be mortal, right, So maybe you and I sneak up
on the fortress finish Grim's job and then we can lord it over him.
Right, But I'm better put my hand on a should and like you need
to sober up first. Oh no, no, no no no, this
is no no no, I'm not taking you anywhere like this good courage.
I thought Zach was supposed to be looking after you. He said something about
inquisitor this, inquisitor that, and then he wanted out, told me not
to move on pain of death. No wait, he said, on pain
of losing my feet and then death. And you listen, he tells me
what to do, I'll do it. I was just in that man is
scary as fun. I look towards the is the bar keeping. I always
forget her name. She is in her name is I'll write it down this
time. Nell No, okay, yeah, I was gonna ride for YouTube.
Um And yeah, she's sitting at the bar. She has a drink
of her own. She's actually sitting eating some food as well. She has
like just a very plain looking chicken and potato meal that she's sitting and picking
at, kind of just watching what you do. As soon as you look
at her, she shoots you a knowing look, having clearly been lumbered with
the babysitting of Kalogi. But she doesn't say anything. Inquisitor. I'll sayter,
did Zach say anything else? Because obviously he's not going to be much
help? Oh right, yeah, well he did say, And then Kalougi
butts in whuack right over the horns of our fair queen. Right, and
then we bust out grim lording it over for him, and then the four
or three twos. I put my hand to his mouth and I just look
at it again. Anyway. Yeah, I don't know where he went.
He said something to Kaloogie about the inquisitor, but he said he wouldn't be
long. I I guess, yeah, I think I guess I'd make my
way into into the actual guild. But I'll turn around to Kalogan. I'll
say, hey, stay here, okay, Well, think about that idea
of yours. I'll think about it. I'll let it run. Maybe it
seems like an okay idea. I'm clearly lying. He didn't come back.
We kind of got to a little argument. I had a home. You
get into an argument with oh it wasn't bo that got into an argument.
He was just in the middle of it, kind of in our separate ways
to cool off. I don't know, I never really argue with people like
that before. All right, I'll i'll wait here and I'll sober up.
And he takes a swig of whiskey. I'll get it now, and I'm
like, yo, if you see bug, come in, Tom, Tom,
I'm looking for him. I need to see if he spotted anything.
All right, Love, Then I walk down. I'm gonna go look for
a hol con m yeah, or just anyone that might be in the main
area. Who's in You immediately stumble into holkn as soon as you open the
door. He's kind of walking past and he stumbles back when backwards, looks
up at you with a large dwarven grin and says, hone, I thought
you was a bag man. What oh, Zach's when running around? I'm
not tizzy? Yeah? What's that about? No? End of the world,
I mean the end of the world. But he something about inquisitors.
Are they here again? Are they looking for more information? Do they tell
us if like we can get into the fortress? What is you going to
the fortress? Well? We have a friend in there that's locked up for
trying to attack the queen, and I kind of need to talk to him.
Ain't what you're doing going in the back door or the front door?
Well I'm debating the back door now. Ain't not too many donn. But
I'll be a lot easier without the magic. Probably that's a good. Yeah.
Well, I gotta find Zach then, but I got also wait for
my comrades there they come back. What's going on anyway? He kind of
like he tugs at your at your cloak and says, here when league with
him? There, bastards, I'm in league with them? What's going on?
More information about all this losing of magic? And they asked a lot
of very prodding questions. I was getting prodded and poked a question in two
dims, was asking notes about you. What were they asking where you're from,
where you was born? How old you are? I don't know,
what I said, And they looked at me like I should know, And
I said, am I supposed to know? I don't know. No,
I don't know. How old are you? Seventeen? Oh you got to
be a bit older than that. Twenty one? Now? Yeh? Why
would they want to know more about me? Did they seem like they was
this recently? Yeah, last couple of days, that fella've been back and
forth, wash looking bastard Reginald asking questions about us. I'm assuming about us
if it's about me, hey, I said, I didn't know nothing about
the others. About you, I know even less about I said, you
come in here praying like a wee Bobby well Ween, crying and crying and
crying until the old zack turns you into a wapon. Now you don't cry,
all right, Well, keep a lookout for me if they come back,
let me know. Hey with ambistards, right, I have no plans
on doing anything with them any good nasty set and that's coming from us.
They got more secrets than us, all right, Just let me know if
they come before they find me. Oh, who's that hand? He grabs
at your sort of prosthetic hand. How's that working? I can hold a
dagger now, and let's see that ands away from you and says, throw
a dagger at me. Then I pull out one of my just random daggers.
I don't want to pull out my poisoned ones. The last thing I
need is to throw that at him and hit him. But I pull out
just a random dagger and hold it in front of in front of me for
a second, and I don't throw it at him. I'd say, like,
there's like this small vase on a table like behind him, and I
throw it at that. Okay, romy dies if I a teen, Yeah,
successful, you throw this dagger pretty fairly. I'd say you. You
don't feel like it's anywhere near as skillfully is as you would have done with
your hand, but you're certainly getting the hang of it. I wanted to
say, hand of it. The pun you throw this thing, It launches,
it hits the vase, chips the vase and kind of spins off to
one side. The varles kind of wobbles a little bit, and then he
says, new ketch, Maine, and he throws a dagger at you.
Well for me, no, I want you to roll all right, sell
you what I'll roll in here. You've got to beat at thirteen. Okay,
I think it. Yeah, it hit it. You go to catch
it with your hand. The movement of your arm and the prosthetic is correct,
the positioning is correct, but kind of the grip and the precision that
you're so used to doing. It's not really a difficult throw. As he
throws this little flashett at you, it's the type of thing that you could
easily bat it out the way or maybe even catch it in the air.
You're certainly skilled enough to do it. But this dagger fly is straight and
as you bring your hand down you just kind of fumble with this this prosthetic
and it maybe moves in an odd way. You just kind of ding it.
It sends the it sends the fleshirt kind of spinning wildly off. It
dings off the wall behind you. It bashes into a skance with a torch
in it, and a few embers fly out around you. It's kind of
chaos for a second. Oh what's that? I would say you should warm
me next time, but also say I'm a little rusty. I guess I
want to make sure that you can do that. You know, I'm not
gonna I'm not gonna start throws one at you, and you see what you've
got to be sixteen eleven. You do it, but it's not pretty.
You catch it. If you were using your other hand, you probably could
have just whipped it out of the air. You catch this thing kind of
awkwardly out of the air. There's a moment as you kind of step backwards
and ding you catch it in the air, and he says, elice like
you can. It's a little better. It's an improvement. Yeah, you're
almost as bad as you were when you're eleven. Listen, I'm not This
is heavier than I thought it'd be. I'm not used to it yet,
You're not doing too bad. Doesn't quite replace, you know, my actual
hand quite the same height. You want some dinner? Oh yeah, that
that sounds good. All right, we got peas. Need someone to watch
the door. I don't want those guys showing up and what I said,
we've gone yep. Peace. You know how long it's been since I've had
peas fresh peas. I don't pay attention to what we eat anymore. I
just eat whatever whatever ends up being made. I see, I see.
How so you don't want any peas? When's the last time I had some
of your peas? Well? As far as I'm aware, you didn't eat
for a few months at all. That's true. I don't remember even what
they taste like, honestly, So you're going to have some peace. I'm
going to have some piece, Yes, maybe a piece soup or something very
much. What's this question? Okay? He walks off, kind of trundles
off towards where the kitchen area is. He's not really in charge of cooking
and stuff, but he's getting on in his years. Doesn't really do anything
in terms of assassinations and things for the guild, so he tends to fill
that role every now and then you find that there's an element to him that
ends up quite often caring for the new recruits. And he treats you in
a similar way I think, and the kind of like the elder. Right,
and then he trundles off. What are you doing? Go into Zach's
office? Okay if I know, if I think he's not there, I
don't know that he's not there, but I'll knock just in case he is
there. Yeah, you knock on the door. A few moments pass,
no response. I'll check for traps, all right, roll for me seven?
Now on the seven. That is a tough choice. You succeed in
your action, but there's a cost. You check for traps. I think
you find it and but you activate it. It doesn't do anything to you.
But what you realize is it's not so much a trap but a signal.
You find a small stick that's been placed very discreetly in one of the
corners of the door, and as you're moving around the doorway, you just
nudge it and it just takes the tiniest little touch on the edge of this
thing, and you see that it snaps. Does anything else happen, No,
Zach will probably be aware that you've been in here, or someone has.
Oh that's fine. Yeah, you pick the lock again and then head
in. Yeah. Inside it's the same office, dark, gloomy oken desk,
books and scrolls and maps and weapons, mostly on the walls and around
the room. I want to search his desk, like for any notes that
he might have taken about what was going on. Okay, you can roll
for me fifteen. There. It doesn't seem to be any notes that have
been made recently by him. You can see what he was looking at,
and it just seems to concern part like structures of buildings, the building above
you, the tavern, as well as the building next door, which is
just a set of houses. As far as you're aware, it seems like
he was looking up kind of blueprints reinforcing, figuring out how to reinforce the
building above you there is kind of being like post a park paranoid. I
think you get that kind of a sense. It seems like he's looking up
stuff like that. You also see that one of the towers in town that
was destroyed was hit by the the airship. He has some information up as
to what that tower was. It appears to have just been a tower that
was part of the Merchant Guild offices and rooms that they would use. That's
about it. I'm gonna I want to sit at his desk and and just
grab I guess a dagger and start carving, take out the book and start
carving the name and address in his desk. In thieves can't of the the
docta. Yes, okay, yeah, you do that. And then I'm
going to take lovely oaken desk. Oh I do. He'll know why I
was there, But it's like I'm gonna do that, and then I'm gonna
cover it just barely like that way, if he's sitting at the desk,
like he'd maybe be able to see it under a blueprint, just barely.
Yeah, and then uh yeah, I mean, I'm just gonna stab the
dagger into the side of the desk, and then are on top of the
desk, and I'm gonna walk out and close the door and leave the trap
like the whatever the trap as it is, so he knows I was there.
Yeah, and then you're gonna go and eat some food, relax a
little. Uh. And I really want to follow him. I really want
to see what Zack's up to besides doomsday prep. I think I would go.
I think I don't think I would go eat soup. I think I
would be too curious to go find out what Zach's been doing. Okay,
what he's up to? Where do you go? I'd go back out the
front probably, Well, I don't want to. I want to see Kalugi
again. I go out a different the side. So and then, what
what's the plan to track Zach? Wherever I saw Zach meet the uh,
the the guys before the inquisition before when they're in that building, Yeah,
the warehouses. Yeah, I'm going to go back into that area as hopefully
as quietly and stealthy as they can. Yeah. Okay, Romeo, Dice,
yeh a team m you again making your way relatively stealthily, relatively quickly
I assume towards the north, following the rivers. Eventually you come to an
area where the rivers are quite wide and it's just on the northernmost edge of
mid and High Town. Before you kind of get really close to where the
fortresses. You can see the fortress looming up over you. And then there's
an area where there's a lot of kind of warehouses. There is some like
fishing stuff here as well. People will fish the canals, but it's not
too common. When you come to this kind of abandoned warehouse, you begin
to scout the place out. Certainly doesn't seem like Zach is here or the
inquisitor from what you're able to make out. As you kind of finish looking
this place over, you do realize that you have been accompanied by someone.
You become quite aware that somebody else's present in this area with you. Oh
that's not good, uh, or it could be I don't know, maybe
it's bug. I'd like the raw perception. Well, you tell me what
you want to do and we'll see if you can. I feel like it'd
be one of those like if you're aware that there's someone at least Spidey senses
are tingling right now. I feel like I feel like I try to outmaneuver
them in a way where you like, you know, like how you know
someone's trailing you, so you try to like quickly quicken your pace and go
around corners faster. But then like you you kind of like, uh juke
them and go back or something like that. Yeah, like trying to outmaneuver
them and get them to like blow their positioning. Okay, I hope that
makes sense roll for me. Okay, yeah, gosh An eight. You
begin this process. Before you begin to kind of outmaneuver this person, you
realize that they they stumble out from beyond the warehouse and they kind of one
of his legs buckles. You recognize that this is the bug. He's kind
of he looks drunk to you, and he says, Okay, it was
harder to do than I wanted it to be. Ah, why did you
have to move so fast all the time? All are you okay? You're
uh, you're being followed by somebody? Did you just leave them to me?
Drugged me? Yeah, kind of blacked out for a little while,
and when I came to, I I don't know where or what or well.
Then I came back and you were leaving, and then I shouted and
you were moving and then I okay, oh god, I had hurts.
I'm immediately going to look around and see if I consents anyone else, Yeah,
rove me, yeah, sixteen. The bug kind of sits on the
ground right out in the open, very unlike one of your fellow assassins,
and you begin scouting the area out and it seems so empty here, so
alone. It's a perfect meeting spot for assassins and inquisitors and maybe criminals.
There's nobody here in the distance. You can hear the town and the hustle
and bustle, but this warehouse and the surrounding warehouses are empty and have probably
been empty for years. Nobody seems to own them. They're not in use.
A few warehouses that are in use probably aren't being used too heavily right
now because there's not a huge amount of trade going on. So you do
seem very much alone. From what you can tell. It doesn't seem like
he was followed. And did you tell them anything? And no, I
didn't ask me anything. I was watching you. Then why they attack you?
Who was it? I don't know, man, This is hard.
Let's see, I'm reading my my my abilities real quick. So I have
a question using something like curious case. It says like you can learn where
someone who was involved in the scene might be headed next. But that would
just be him, right, It wouldn't be anyone else involved. Yeah,
okay, so everything would just pertain to him in the scene. Yeah,
unless you have, like, you know, a corps or you know,
a footprint or something to work with in a detective style. Well, move
out of the middle of You're just sitting in the open, are you seriously?
I thought we trained you better than that. Yeah. I don't care.
I felt like, shit, okay, get right, get over here.
Oh god, I don't know what that will hit me with? Sleeping
way probably Okay. So I didn't want to go back and tell zech that
I lost my mark. Yeah, well that's you're going out to tell him
eventually, you know that, right? Yeah? And why did you split
up? Gone to a fight? Which one was I supposed to follow me?
Oh? Well they made my mark? Oh my gosh. Uh yeah
about that. So you don't know why these guys attacked you. You don't
know obviously they were following you. Who was following me. You know,
you were supposed to find the people following us, not get hit by them.
You know that, right, Like that's it's supposed to go down.
Yeah, yeah, Okay, that's a big fail on my part. Where'd
you get attacked the roof the building you were on right before we split up?
Yeah, you were talking to a gnome and you did you see the
others that I split up with? Yeah, you went one way. I
saw the old man start to head towards the low town and then one footstep
before I knew it and round my throat another with a stinking cloth. Ah,
I inspect him and see if I can tell what he got hit by.
Yeah. If it's I don't even know rome another sixteen sixteen, it's
there's a there's quite a few things that you can hit someone with that.
It's like a smell coming off of it. It's a sweet smell, which
suggests to you that it would be some sort of potent sleeping weed. There
are lots of quite common drugs that would do this, but to have it
be so strong and so concentrated, it's probably really expensive to get something that
is fast acting. You guys like it might be professional. Yeah, you
guys certainly have access to this kind of poison in these kinds of things.
To have such a strong concentrated dose of sleeping weed that was applied to a
rag to be placed over someone's nose that kind of almost immediately knocks them out
for a short time. Is it would be really expensive minimum not too easy
to get a hold of. But yeah, they're probably a professional like you
at your level. I'm going to try and pull them into the nearest warehouse
or like maybe even a nearby shed or something and sort of like cover around
where he's at and just say, hey, you need to sleep this off,
and then when you're done, make sure you're not followed back to the
guild. Okay, where are you going? I'm gonna go look for their
uh the old man, Oh shit, hey, come on, you know
my record's okay? He doesn't need to know like straight away, I cannot
No, No, it's an actual old man, not Zach, the other
old man bo Zach right, Okay, I don't even know where Zach's at,
but I need you to find out where Zach's at. And maybe the
Inquisition's been poking their noses and asking questions about me. Do you know anything
about this. No, Zach told me to be careful around me. No,
that the inquisitors might be looking into this. What are you looking mixed
up into this? So do they think? Are they accusing me of?
I mean I gave him half the story, but I told him I give
him the other half after. Is that what they're saying that they want the
other half? One story? Oh that's see, that's a long story.
I'm not getting into that right now. Okay, yeah, you sleep this
off and go back to the guild. Start to walk out. He kind
of leans back, rubbing his head and uh, yeah, where are you
headed now? Since it doesn't seem like anyone's nearby, I want to go.
Uh. I want to rip out the one page with the address and
then tuck the book and like as he passes out, like tuck the book
like in his uh outfit, and then and then move out. I don't
want to be caught with a whole book. You know, if people are
looking for us and jump me, I'm kind of I'm kind of terrified.
If they can jump him, they can jump me. But I'm going to
head to the What you said lowtown is where bo was headed. Yeah,
he was heading that direction. Uh, oh, I'm gonna Is there a
bar that I know of in Lowtown? There's bars everywhere. Yeah, you
can probably going to head towards the bar area of Lowtown. All right,
Yeah, you head to one where maybe the prettiest ladies might be a good
idea, and uh yeah, you stop moving. It's a pretty It's about
the longest possible distance that you can traverse. You're coming from all the way
up on the edge of high Town towards the Lowtown. So I think that's
a good time for us to flip over as you head out and we head
towards the open ocean once again. We first come to Sooner who You are
asleep later the same night when you suddenly awaken you and it's a sudden awakening
that feeling like you're falling for a moment kind of jolts you awake. Maybe
an arm or a leg kicks out a moment as a dream or possible nightmare
ends and you you wake up. You remember one thing from the dream or
the nightmare, and it stays with you, but the rest of the dream
seem to dissipate very quickly. What do you think that one thing is?
Oh, ah, oh, I probably these young companions we've had, we
have these young monks. I'm wondering if it's uh, we were related most
likely, and I I feel a sense of duty and obligation to protect them,
and I'm probably worried that I cannot any longer. Yeah. You see,
as you kind of turn around, you notice that the monks are sleeping.
While they're asleep, their faces are extremely similar. They look like brother
and sister. They might be twins. From there, mother, I sort
of don't children. They sort of don't, but they have the same skin
complexion as your children. In the face they look relatively different. And eyes
all right, I mean your eyes were and still remain kind of odd.
Yes, thank you. Yeah. I probably sit next to them and just
kind of look at them and how peaceful they are when they're sleeping, and
it probably calms me a little bit from the nightmare. And I didn't realize
they were probably twins, but they do. They do have matching noses,
You're right, their eyebrows the same. The boy has the drawing that Cairo
would have shown you earlier on that is that Cairo probably showed you as a
younger image of you. But you recognize fully to be mother Numera. Your
own mother remained from as long as you knew her, and from what you
understand, always practically looked the same age, yes, even in your memories
of her. And the last time we witnessed her in this campaign, she
looked younger than you did. She looked like she was in the prime of
her twenties. And Cairo shuffles over in her sleep. The other passengers softly
sleeping in their sort of dedicated areas, the paffling a little closer to your
area, the cancander. Cairo is tucked in. Make sure she's covered with
a blanket so she's not having disturbed or troubled sleep. I know she doesn't
like the ocean, so she's probably not having good dreams either. There's a
hoop from an owl. Oh it's fine, I'm just tucking her in deep.
He is staring at you from a top one of the marble chunks here
below decks hippos sleeping bag is empty. Ooh, what time? Is it
very late? I don't think you know the time, but it's most certainly
really late. It would be gone midnight. Hm hmm. His sleeping bag
is empty. Is there anything else of his that's out and about. I
just kind of want to look at his area. I would imagine most of
his stuff is here, Is his pipe there or anything like, Just trying
to see if he's maybe gone for a walk, or if it looks like
his bag was he was ripped from his bag. I think you notice that
his hype is missing. Okay, it's gone for a walk, all right,
Well I will get up look over the children once more, and then
I will take a stroll as well. Above decks, where do you think
you're standing, hippo, Yeah, probably just leaning on the reel and just
watching the neat sky. Probably sitting maybe at the bow of the ship the
bank there you when you came up here and headed out, there was only
two people above decks. There's Eno who was on the the captain's wheel,
seems to have taken a night shift, just basically standing there in his own
thoughts, doesn't give you a nod or anything like that. And way up
in the crow's nest there's an Elven man who gives you a curt wave but
goes back to kind of a half snooze. And the top decks of the
ship here are quite empty. It's pretty cold. It's still a calm ocean,
but the night sky, the chill, the salt air kind of I
think it hits you. It's not frozen or anything, but I think you
notice it. You're coming from a very hot climate, and you head towards,
yeah, maybe the bow of the ship. As you kind of head
out, you can see that the night sky is brilliant. There is a
a half moon, there is a sky full of stars, and one thing
that I think after a few moments puffing on your pipe, sitting or leaning
looking upwards, you see a constellation in the sky that you've only ever seen
in books. It's called Surge's Arrow, and it's a constellation that hasn't been
seen for hundreds of years, and for you, it faces backwards. However,
Surge's Arrow always faces west. And the odd thing about this constellation is
that it's only viewable from the western coast of Elmsia, which is a content
that a continent that fell into the ocean long before you were born, hundreds
of years ago. I think it strikes you as odd. Before you hear
another person heading up behind you. A nice night for a stroll, i'd
say, enjoying the view. Hey, what are we looking at? Who
will do you know your I guess you and the stars? Who will do
you know your stars? Absolution? Fairly well? Well enough better than you?
All right, then your challenge for you? All right, just stop
there? Mm hmm. You see that lose that consolation there? Do you
think that is? Oh? I think still supposed to be the other way?
You see, that's what I thought. It's weird it is. Maybe
it's something to do with it the magic stuff. Maybe there is some magic
in between and you know the magic stuff you believe in that? Now?
Well it's mm hmm. I do I do believe will always. Well,
maybe we've got it wrong. Maybe it was always this way. Maybe it's
always pointing west, not on the west side. No, that's not right.
It is the west side, isn't it west side of Who is the
way that was a long time ago? Maybe the maybe the maybe got it
wrong. You can tell me see us below us right now? Well,
maybe I was thinking you were right earlier. I think right about we probably
should talk. Well, I'm listening the ladies first, for I see.
Yeah, Well, well it's it's it's you who's struggling the most right now.
With all the moping and and so I thought maybe you would have something
that you need to say, Mills. You know, I don't you know
me, I haven't see much. Okay, it's been it's been a long
time since I was in Alexandria. No, I just that's just a little
bit of it. Ahidden back, you know, just a wee better.
There's other stuff. But are you are you of us? Mhm? Well,
you know, I left and I didn't think I was going to be
going back. Oh I understand that. Well, I don't think I really
wanted to go back. You know. Well, there was just it's a
lot to red. You know. I wanted to not think about it.
And then, you know, heading back, I'm just thinking about it again,
and then the other stuff's make me think about it, and well,
you know, oh, what is it that you're thinking about? What happened?
Kah, I'm just thinking about it, you know. Yeah, Yeah,
I'm a fool, you know, that's me. I don't know,
that's nothing new, but go on, it's not, you know. And
I learned that, you know, back in Alexandria, back in Bologna,
and you know, I thought I was a hero that was going to be,
and well, there's a lot of shame. You think you're a hero
and you find out you're a fool. That's all. That's all back there,
you know. And then well I was kind of here now too.
I guess I couldn't help you. You nearly died because of it. It's
another remind there and feel it not a hero, And well I'm moving just
thinking about that, you know, mostly do you know what I do?
You know what I think? Do I? Ever? I think more important
than being a hero is being wise enough to realize we're all fools. And
I think that is probably the most attractive thing in another human. Ye's let's
say it's next for you after you know, I was a lot to think
about it after well you even know it's going to happen there. But you
know, after it's all said and done, you know, when when you're
finished being the hero, it's always next for you, or you off after
your family, or to be honest, I hadn't really, I hadn't really
decided when I when I found your score, and I didn't remember the way
home. I didn't remember really what I had left behind. And I'm I'm
wondering now if that was purposefully done so that I could continue and I could
do what it was I needed to do. And h but I'll tell you
what, I much prefer when two fools are together than just one. Well,
I think, I mean, can you deserve better than I? Just
take his hand? I like this? Yeah, me too, me too.
Now I swear it's it's always been the other way round. I thought
the error was supposed to be pointing in the other direction it was. Maybe
it's who is there? Is it? Maybe many visions about battles that we
yeah back in the loner's midtown. As I continue to fade them out again,
we return to an alleyway in which a particular fiefling is dumb stroke she
finds out that there is in fact an inquisitor behind her. You playing a
little game of cat and mouse. Here, uh are stood in an alleyway
in the very upper most regions of the high Town. It's a relatively long
alleyway. There is a few doors, but it's mostly just alleyway here,
pretty thin, and the door in front of you is open an inch less.
There's no response from the inquisitor that's inside, Reginald for a moment,
as you speak back and forth before you realize that there is laid hold on
you from behind. What do you do immediately? Was your first reaction?
Well, I went quiet a few times. Did I not hear him breathing
behind me? If you're going quiet right now, you would hear him breathing.
Okay, I I'm doing my whole spiel about well it goes delivering you
need to copside for it, and he's not replying. If I hear him
breathing, I'm going to turn around very quickly and dram my sword. Are
you drawing it like as in mid swing you're going to use it or just
pulling the thing out? I want answers from Reginald. So I'm pulling it
out and I'm not planning on and there's blood still on it from Bob.
Yeah. As you spin on Reginald, the first thing you'll notice is that
he looks exhausted. When he appears behind you, he kind of lets out
a breath, as if he was holding his breath. You immediately notice that
he's wearing nothing on his feet, no shoes. He looks like he's just
sprinted one hundred meters in thirty seconds. Extremely quiet. This is the kind
of like frightening quiet that you've only really experienced with Ellie, but it is
absolutely something that you've seen before. He's got that kind of level of roguish
skill. As you spin and bring go to draw your sword out, he
brings the dagger down towards your hand. Roll a dice for me. It's
Reginald, Yeah, eighteen eighteen. You you see him kind of with this
knife up in front of his face because he turns it to draw, like
bring the thing down. It looks like he's going to aim for your hand.
Maybe he's just trying to disarm you, but you very quickly bring your
the hilt of your sword back up instead and parry it back. It kind
of knocks his hand back. He's shocked. He's like, he seems to
be kind of a little shocked in general that you're here. His eyes taking
in the blood on the blade. You hit the dagger, but he managed
to hold his grip. He moves backwards a little bit and then holds a
two blades up in front of him in a kind of close knit stuf.
If he's kind of used to fighting in these tiny little alley ways. Kind
of out of breath, he says, so it was true, then was
it? Before I even answer, can I use my skill overpower? Yeah,
Reginald feign that I'm going to start answering him, and then I just
immediately lunge on him and grab his arms and try to drag him inside of
his apartment to close the door and tie his hands together. All right,
what does overpower do? Read it for me. You use your strength to
overpower a commoner minion within reach. You cannot use this ability on bosses.
Describe how you overpower them. You put the target in a compromise position until
they spend a turn getting out of it. During this time, basic attacks
hit them for double damage. Is what I'll let you do. Technically,
he's a boss you can put You can spend the You can spend the cost,
but it will be higher if you spend three. You can do it
to him. Yeah, I'm going to do it. Okay, So how
does it look? You can basically do this? Like, the thing with
you and the other characters is that I think you're all a little stronger than
you maybe expect. You're certainly stronger than you give yourselves credit. And you're
also stronger than you were at the beginning of this campaign. It's orderlines supernatural.
You've come back from this journey, and I don't think you realize your
own strength. Going toe to toe with inquisitor Bob maybe didn't feel like a
huge deal to you, but would have been insane to watch. That would
have been like if you, Katie Peters Plays, had done a few,
you know, kickboxing lessons throughout your life, went on a journey for three
months and then came back and took on it like a UFC champion or something
like. The difference is kind of crazy. I'm not sure if you're aware
of it necessarily as Aura, but whatever you do now certainly shocks Reginald.
I think just from the adrenaline of fighting Bob and stalking Reginald back to a
secret layer. I also have that panic because I know that I have the
sense that everyone I love and care about is in danger. So I go
to like feign that it's like oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I am
sorry Reginald, and like go to put my sword away and then immediately just
lunge at him, like use my elbows to knock the daggers out of his
hands, grab him by his arms, and like put a hand over his
mouth. And just drag him inside of his apartment. And then I have
a belt on my coat and I take that belt off and I just wrap
it very tightly around his hands. Yeah, I think you do all this
stuff. It's not like he lets you just do this. Like there is
there's a moment where you're kind of feigning whatever it is that you were attempting
to do, kind of put the sword down or speak or answer, and
then suddenly you're moving. And I think in that moment, you see him
kind of unsure of himself, and you use that to push the daggers away
from him. You knock one of them clear out of his hand. He
brings the other one down, but you grab his wrist, turn it.
He brings his wrist up to kind of try and counter yours. That's when
your other elbow comes in and knocks his knocks him up against a wall,
twisting his arm. He drops one of the daggers. You're moving around him.
He looks like he knows what he's doing, and yet somehow just you
again, like it's an overpower move. You literally just drag him backwards.
He's not completely like subdued necessarily, but you get him in a position where
you kind of have all the cards and pull him quickly into the doorway.
As you burst through, you can see a small kind of house. It's
like a full house with what looks like two floors. You can see a
stairwell leading upwards as a room in the front here where it seems like there
are two desks. It looks like a kind of it looks like a place
that someone might work, like a double office or something like that, but
there's very little going on in it. And then in the back there's a
kitchen. You can see at the far end that there's another door on the
street side that's kind of open. You can see one shoe in the doorway,
another one missing, and you drag him through into this room. He
is going to attempt to do one thing to break out of this. If
he doesn't, you pretty much probably will have control. I'm gonna roll one
dice for him. Yeah, if I can get to a dice roller A
three. What are you doing next? Taking this chair situation, there's a
chair right that by one of the desks. There's plenty of chairs. Yeah,
I like use my foot and I drag one over and I like shove
him down in it, and does he have any rope or anyth in his
room that I or anything I can use to tie his hands and his legs
to the chair. Let's find out. I'm going to say on a twenty.
Yes, you can actually see that there's there's a few things in here
that don't necessarily make sense. First of all, you see an inquisitor's bag,
which he didn't have one him when he came in. But there's like
a relatively large looking satchel with all sorts of bits and pieces on it.
There are like two go bags, is what it looks like, the type
of adventuring pack that you probably set out with on a daily basis with Alvin.
One that kind of looks like it's filled with an extra set of clothes.
One that seems to be filled with other items and things. On the
side of one of them, though, you can see that there is a
rope as I'm grabbing some of this rope and tying him up. Okay,
so is there someone else here? Is it just you? Is looking around
and he kind of just seems to be accepting what's going on in a fearful
way, not in a in a in a just letting you do this way.
He seems to just be kind of concerned as you're tying him up.
He said he's a couple of times he maybe says something like, don't don't,
don't kill me. Okay, listen, we can come to some sort
of understanding. And no, there's nobody else here. This is just one
of our safe houses. What's not so safe, is it? Well,
no, I suppose not, now that you're in here. Where is bo
and where is Ellie? If you sent one of them after me? You
sent them after those two as well? Well, yes, no, not
not the assassin. She's protected. Okay, then why just bow and I
because you're not protected? Okay, you need our help, and yet it's
sending us off on these whirlwind errands and then you're just gonna arrest us.
Well, it's not quite that we need your help. You're a terrible traitor
to this to this world. I knew I couldn't trust you. I knew
this whole time. You just are full of full of bullshit, Reginald.
Perhaps before you slip my throat, you could explain to me precisely how you
managed to get away with all of this. I don't know you anything,
Reginald. I'm gonna start rifling through his room. I'm starting to flip.
I'm flipping stuff for over, I'm looking for stuff. Yeah, the actual
building just seems to be almost There's there's a few things in here that just
look kind of like plain, kind of clean looking pots and pans. They've
been used maybe once or twice. You can see that. There's a few
books that are just kind of you know, flip the pages books. Nothing
of real interest. When you look into the inquisitors bag, however, you
see all sorts of things. There's a there's a disguise kit. There are
thieves tools, which is lock picks and things like that. There are some
items in there that don't make any sense to you. They just look strange.
A thing that looks like a Rubik's cube. There's a kind of hexagonal
looking thing that looks like you can twist the inner part. You can also
see some just sort of basic things like a crowbar, pliers, things that
might be torture equipment or maybe dentistry stuff. It could be one or the
other. It's kind of hard to tell. The other two bags again have
two changes of clothes and sleeping equipment, and you know that kind of stuff.
Nothing, nothing really like that would give anything away. You also find
his book that he has too. Actually, he's got a larger book and
a smaller notepad. Almost everything written inside, if it isn't a diagram or
an image, is in that kind of inquisitor's script. And then you find
a pen as well with it all. And it's all in that I guess
language. For lack of a better word, I do not understand correct pretty
much. Yeah, I'm mighta grab both the books. I'm gonna take the
lock picks. I'm gonna Can I take all the bags? Yeah you can?
Yeah, I mean you'll be loaded up. But yeah, planning a
trip, Reginald? Where you going? No, No, these things are
left here all the time, so you can leave. Well, yes,
in case of an emergency. Okay, well, where where's bow? I'm
not at liberty to tell you that I punch him in the face. Okay,
yeah, you hear him. It's hard, and he kind of seems
to eat it. He looks back up at you, a lip split,
a little trickle of blood running down his cleanly shaven chin. He says,
I assure you I have been trained by the greatest. Uh. Well,
torturers known to living kind. You won't getting any answers out of me.
Bo Bobo is ours now, and we shall be using whatever techniques we can.
Why didn't you just arrest us right away? Why wait? Why make
this whole big thing out of it? Because if you were telling the truth,
then you would be innocent, wouldn't you. How do you know what's
the truth and what's not? How do I know you've never said one thing?
Oh the whole time? Hey, well, we'll tell you everything every
single time. Mum's the word from you, Reginald. Well, we did
actually tell you everything. Basically, we told you things that we probably shouldn't
have told you. You, however, have not given us even a modicum
of respect, let alone anything other than half of a poppy cop story.
Well, good thing that. I don't need to prove anything to you.
I just need to know where my friend is and then we can both go
on our merry way. Well, I don't think that's going to happen.
We're going to stop whatever your final part of your plan here is, who's
Perry? Why did we need to go get this doctor? Was that just
a big distraction to get us out? No? It truly was at the
request of the fortress. We wondered whether you would indeed do this for us.
Of course we didn't. We did. I went and I went to
this doctor's office, and we couldn't find anything in there of where to find
him after that. Well, that explains why he went missing. How did
you even know if we did this or not? You're just going based on
assumptions. Is that how you run the inquisition? Based on assumptions? Uh?
No, no, no, we had somebody trailing you the entire time.
Who was it my friend that I met in the streets later, well
for a time there, Yes, although we don't offer send Bob on those
of His name's Bob. Yes, you know he can't talk right. Well,
he could talk, and then magic kind of took away the ability for
him. Yeah, you should know. He's got crazy eyes. No,
he's got more than crazy eyes. Yes, well, we're a little understaffed
unfortunately, thanks to you and your kind Well, maybe you and I can
just take a walk and we'll just walk until you show me where Bo is.
Oh, absolutely, that will be fine by me. Nope, you're
agreeing to it too easily. I don't trust you very well. I'll stay
here I can. I have I found everything in the room, Like,
are there any drawers or anything? I can search? There are, but
there's nothing in them. This is for sure just kind of an empty or
show house of some sort. How do I feel with that bond like it?
I don't know. Do I have any senses that are worse or worsening?
Everything? You feel full paranoia? I think at this point for everyone,
I'm just looking at something and just seeing I don't could I use something
called don't you know who I am? On him? And you can say
no. But you impress common folk and minions by pretending to be someone notable.
You initiate the ruse by giving a special wink like it's like you come
up with this. You trick them into thinking that you're more important than you
are something. I mean, I guess it depends on what you're doing.
Are you trying to I'm trying to. I'm trying to convince him to give
me the information, And I don't know who you going to? I create
this ruise? Yeah, like that, I'm like, I'm someone more more
important than I really am, because I don't think Ura thinks she's somebody important.
But that she could I've been undercover and I'm a royal princess from up
north and like that kind of thing. You can attempt to do this,
but I'll warn you he is not a minion or common cloke. So if
if the lie is good enough, or makes sense or or fits something that
would work on Reginald, then I'd allow it. If not, then it
won't work. I'll tell you that much. Okay, Well, maybe then
what I do is like I have this moment of like I could try to
convince him I'm someone else, and then I I look at him and the
fact that I think he's smarter than I'd like to admit. So I'm not
going to try to do that. What do you need from me, Reginald
in order for you to give me what I want? Well, you could
come in to a full arrest answer our questions honestly. Okay. That's that
you're one of the most dishonest people I've ever met, and you're asking me
to be honest with you. Well, first of all, yes, I
am one of the most dishonest people you've ever met, but I'm an inquisitor.
That's partially my job. Second of all, I've been quite honest with
you. All right, I'm pulling out the books that have that teach me
how to read this now, yep, teach me how to read this?
Well, it took me six months to learn. Okay, you've got to
have like a like a pamphlet or something that I can use to translate.
Yeah, I do, yes, Okay, where's the pamphlet. We'll have
to go to my office. Would bo happen to be in the building that
your office is located in? Very possibly, Reginald. I don't like you,
and I don't want to hurt you, but I might have to hurt
you. Yes, well again, you can cut off my fingers, you
can cut off my ears toes. It's not going to do you a whole
lot of good. I crouched down in front of him. Do you have
anybody that you care about, Reginald? A few? Okay, like who
like a sister or mother? How about my fellow inquisitors that you've killed.
I've killed none of your inquisitor friends, maybe not by your hands. Is
this like a thing of yours where you just like to place blame on other
people because you don't know where to actually place the blame. I think I
know where to place the blame. Is this a vendetta for you? Because
it doesn't feel like it's some sort of mission that the Inquisition has set you
on. It's certainly the final mission that we're going to get, that is,
unless we can jump start the magic again. What was magic to you
before? All? This? My job? Yeah? I get that,
But what could you do? Almost nothing? Okay, so then you don't
feel like you're really missing much? Then suppose not apart from my friends?
All right, well my friends are in danger now too, and I need
to know where BO is. So you need to tell me. Reginald,
is he the ringleader? No? Bo? I think Bo was like escort
or something here in Bologna. I don't think he knew about anything until we
all got thrown into something that none of us were prepared for. It doesn't
make any sense to me. Something missing? All right, Well what do
you I was? Who was it, Reginald? It doesn't really matter at
this point. I was sucked up into the sky by some sort of godly
force, thrown into a room with the four of them, and then we're
set on a quest to This was a race. To be honest, it
didn't really make sense. Yes, I know half the story. Okay,
well what do you need for me to what? What could I tell you
that would make you trust me? Fame you're from? Yes, that's rather
near Caspin Wolf. What's Caspin Wolf? That's where this all started. Happened
to meet a man called Cedric. Did you when? How long? Cedric?
I don't know, eh, Cedric, I you can tell me now.
I was left on a doorstep as a baby in a town full of
humans, no less, had like this mark on my back my entire life,
just farming and walking around the wood. And then one day I find
myself in some celestial race that I have no idea I'm prepared for. I
don't know, Ecentric, we have blanks in your memory? I don't know.
I wake up a lot like you. Do you ever get like a
lingering feeling like you're you're you can't remember something. Uh? Well, I
can't say I do. But you've been uh tricked? Okay by by you?
I feel like I've been tricked by you. No, no, no,
no, the Dragonfly Crew. No, I don't know anything about a
Dragonfly crew. They used your friends? How trick people who have vendettas people
who have lost people, people who, yeah, who want to take down
the gods who did this to them. You're one of them, right left
on a doorstep. Thank you? Rather angry? No, I had great
parents, and you know what, there's what about your original parents? Well,
clearly they didn't want me. So I think all things worked out,
considering I have an awesome friend, I have a guy waiting for me up
north. I don't want to be here right now. I want to be
on my farm growing potatoes and and harvesting kale and looking for mushrooms in the
forest. I do not want to sit here with a man tied up with
one How did you get outside so quickly? And he just, well,
I'm very fast, that's very clear. I still don't do It's still like
a hatch. Uh. Well, no, I'm If there's one thing I'm
good at, it's sneaking up on people not as strong as move on naturally
quickly yourself. You a you. I can tell when people are lying to
me. I know it's been years of this job, but you don't seem
like you're lying to me. And I count figure out why? What do
I gain from lying to you? My entire world has been turned upside down,
and I had this year of my life which turned out to be a
dream that was everything I ever wanted and it's gone. And now I wake
up from that awful realization that it was a dream, and my friends are
sick, and I left the person that I love and now I'm here and
I'm fighting with my friend and I can't find bo and I can't help.
But had the sinking feeling in my gut that you're doing something to them and
that something's wrong and I have to fix it, and you're not letting me
fix it. You're not helping me. I think you've been used. I
think you were tricked into joining a cult. I think that they've done something
to you, either by magic, drugs, I don't know, but they
if twisted and warped your sense of reality. They you think that you're on
a journey to save people and you've done this, you've helped them, Reginald.
I don't think that's the case. I think that maybe you need to
expand your mind a little bit. You believe in this magic and these things
that can just appear out of nowhere, and that's gone now, but you
can't wrap your head around that's something bigger than you could have happened, something
that maybe you don't understand. Well, then why not help us, Why
not tell us the story? I don't know because I don't trust you,
Reginald. You told us that you would tell us everything, and then you
just didn't. You kept putting it off, and I noticed those things over
time. It might not seem like it might be some sort of trick they
taught you in the Inquisition, but it's really noticeable from a I grew up
somewhere simple. I listened to what people say. You can't just flourish things
and think that you're getting away with it. We told you mostly the truth.
The only thing we didn't tell you is that you were being trailed.
We couldn't just let you waltz off. You disappear, plucks out of the
homes that you were living in, and thrown into a race against these gods,
and then you start making these accusations of false godhood, and then something
kills them all. You killed some of them, and then there's this other
figure, and then you appear just in time to see the the end the
fruits of all this labor. Do you think that one think of it?
From our perspective, I know, but what do I have to gain?
I used to snap my fingers and I could light anything on fire that I
wanted to, And no, I can't. Like there's things that I I
missed too. I never imagined. The only world I wanted without magic is
one that I could be happy. And I don't care if other people do
it if I don't have it, It's fine as long as I can build
what I want. I don't think that I'm the one that's brainwashed. Then
what what what would you do without us? I've done quite well without you
for my life. And what about the years and years and years ago?
The werewolves? The thing it attacked bame, What was it? I just
draw monstrosity. It's just trow They come out they they no, no,
no, no no no. It was as large as a house. I
don't I was about to kill everybody, the butcher of beame. No,
no no. It was a very very large thing, powered by a great
mechanical set of arms, unstoppable as soon as it started moving. Is this
before I was born? No? Well, I don't remember that. Yes,
that would be because you didn't know about it. It was stopped by
one of our inquisitors, Lyra, she saved everybody in your town, your
home, all of your friends and family. Why don't I talk to Lyra?
Well, you can go back and I can talk to Lyra. I
don't know where she is, Okay, I don't know where some of my
friends are either. I think you and I have a lot more in common
than you might think. And if we work together and you're not just mostly
honest with me, you're honest with me, we can I think we can
figure it out. I think we can figure it out and maybe piece it
together. Yeah, why did Ellie claim that she was responsible for killing a
god? A lot has happened over the last bit, and I think that
we were put into fights that we didn't really know a lot at the time,
and we had to defend ourselves, and maybe we did kill some gods.
In my head, I can't even wrap my head around it. But
sometimes you're put into positions where you have to protect yourself. Yeah, yes,
Well, it wouldn't be the first time in history did somebody was plucked
out of nowhere and thrust into some sort of celestial combat situation. It's happened.
It happens all the time. Why didn't you believe us? Because he
wouldn't give us the entire story? Something seemed from me, all of you,
you gave us half the story, and it seems so strange. There
is so much information that doesn't make sense to us. We don't have information
on well. I guess the thing is is we were all there and we
all have different parts of the story. We all viewed it differently. I
didn't trust you because you aren't fully honest with me. Ellie wants to keep
bits protected so that she can hopefully meet with Grim, a man who tried
to cut my head off, and I don't know why we need to talk
to him, And then I know Bo's just trying to help figure this out.
BO does not deserve to be wherever he is right now. You need
to tell me where BO is. What was a good person? I can't
do that, not until I know I can trust you. How can I
trust you? Mhm? Seems we're to stalemate? Okay, then what if
we make a pact a blood packed the blood packed? Yeah yeah, yeah.
I grab one of his daggers. I cut my hand, you cut
yours, and we shake on it. It's one of the you you can't.
Can't break a blood pact? Why you just can't. I've only ever
done it with two other important people in my life. And if I if
I do this with you, I will not break it. Show me your
hand and I hold out my hand to see so you can see my palm.
Is there a scar on it? Yeah, there's two scars, kind
of slightly one down the middle and then one kind of crossed over it.
You want me to gamble what could very well be the end of the world
on a blood packed Have you ever done anything like that where you've It's more
than a promise, It's like an oath. You have to believe it in
your heart. It's not I have nothing to gain by hurting you, Reginald.
I have nothing to gain by killing you. Give me something to gain
by trusting you. I'm blood packed. Will work together and we'll work out
what's going on. If you have to tell me everything, the entire story
before we leave, all right, and you will do the same, Yes,
And you'll give me that pamphlet on how to read your writings. I'll
try and teach you. Yes, I look him in the eyes. I'm
trusting you, and I start untying his hand that he so he can cut
his own hand, and I'll take the dagger and slice my palm open in
hand. The butt of the knife to him doesn't seem rather senatory. That's
the whole point. I'm I suppose it is the end of the world.
What do you have to lose? He cuts his hand, thrusts it out.
I thrust my hand out and like, really work it in there and
shake it. He shakes your hand back. That is where we're going to
go to a break this evening. Thank you so much for watching, everybody.
I got to a shore break, and when we return we will see
what's going on in other parts of the city. Thanks for watching. We
return to an unknown location in the Inquisition Dungeons Bo, you are tied up
nude in a pitch dark room, nothing, no light spilling in from even
a crack in the doorway ahead of you. You know the room to be
very small. It smells absolutely fall in here. No thanks to yourself helping.
No, I don't think you know how long it's been. I don't
think you can tell whether it's been an hour, or if it's been two
hours, or if it's been six hours, or if it's been a day.
I is starting to stretch out your roller dice for me. At the
beginning, I did I was a seven kill. It was seven. Wasn't
a great role for you? This is a slightly different role you. This
is how hungry you are. Oh no, yeah. On a scale of
one to twenty, you're a seven for hunger. You're starting to get really
hungry. There's probably a stomach grumble, the echoes off of the walls.
What have you been doing or thinking about? If anything, I've been thinking
about the girls, wondering, you know, if they're safe, if they're
right, if maybe they're even possibly in here with me. But I see
nothing. Perhaps can I hear anything? Brad sounds? I think once or
twice you've heard some jangling keys walk past the door, But it's it's almost
as if the door is reinforced. When the door opened, you could see
that there were furs lining the outsides of the door to give it some kind
of sound dampening. It also stops any light or any cracks to be able
to see through you. Maybe at one point heard a blood curdling scream in
the far distance, but then maybe that was only in your head. It's
kind of hard to tell. Hopefully that was, but for the most part
you've just been stuck in here in brutal silence. Well, shit me see,
I don't think I have any abilities that can help me out here.
Damn it. Mmm. Would I be able to feel anything around my feet?
Roll me a dice? Oh god? Okay, yeah? Four?
You can feel a small puddle of piss. Oh god, oh man,
just when it dried off my leg? Now, I well, Corey,
at least, you know, the least they could have done was leave me
a piss bucket. Couldn't even do that. Just you wait when that when
that guy comes back, I'm going to pee on him. There's a jangling
of keys at the door. You hear six locks turn and turn and turn
and then open. When the lights spills in, it's only really one torch
just outside of the door, on a pillar on the center of the kind
of hallway that's out there. That spills in, but it's almost blinding when
it kind of hits you. It's a kind of awful, warm, dim
light that just immediately kind of burns your eyes. And as you turn away,
you see two figures move in. One of them you recognize to be
the inquisitor that was speaking to you before, Worston. And then you see
a slightly larger figure, somebody that looks a bit like a very very large
orc, maybe a half orc, kind of hard to tell since they're basically
just shadows. Heading in. Worston looks down at the bag that he'd left
behind, and then looks up. The light now, as your eyes are
just kind of spilling into the room, reveals to you some extra elements that
you maybe didn't notice before since you were pretty much in the dark, you
can see that the room is covered in kind of old looking brown stains.
You, I don't want to know what that is, probably blood. And
Worston points down to the to the bag and says, kind of half expected
you to escape. Does it look like I could go anywhere? And I
jingle my shackles. Yeah, well, I suppose it doesn't matter. This
is my friend some Low. How do you do? And I reluctantly look
up his tall friend some Low's pulled what one thousand, one thousand, five
hundred two thousand things and toes off of people just in this room alone.
I'd say, well, I intend to keep all my fingies and toesies please,
he doesn't need a bag at alls. Worston leans down and starts rummaging
through. He pulls out kind of a nasty looking thing that probably trims hedges.
As he pulls out this kind of awful looking iron device, he opens
it, it gives a horrible creak. He says, I don't need them.
Well, you don't need them, but maybe i'll use one. Hey,
give me one finger, maybe one tie? What do you say,
some low no, no, no, no, no no no no,
no, no no no. What is this some sort of tactic to scare
me? So eye? Would it? Yes, it's absolutely a tactic to
scare you. It's a thing. Yeah, I'm not fan of willing fingers
and toes off of people. Honestly, I don't think it works that well.
Some low I'd say it's probably his favorite pastime. Oh well, I
mean, can I I immediately feel? Well? I am, I don't
intend to lose any fingers and toes? Can I use one of my spells?
It is called it is literally called over there. You make a suggestive
gesture redirecting a nearby creature that is currently hostile toward you. The target redirects
its anger toward a different adversary. MM, you can't. Really. You
sort of have to be in like a combat situation. It's like a sweechy
switcher through move that you can do. The you can kind of do like
there's someone behind you situation, but it's probably not going to do much for
you. It's up to you if you want to, old man, So
how else do you want me to cooperate with you? You're feeling peckish,
You're angry. I mean, I'm not gonna lie. I haven't had anything
to eat for how I don't even know how long it's been. Some low
he likes turkeys, and he's a turkey just about every day, don't you
some low right turkeys are good. Yeah, they're great. I can arrange
to get you a full turkey meal. What my mouth immediately begins to water.
Oh for for what? Exchange? Tell me the truth, the truth
about what a little story? Little story? But you think everything I told
you was all made up? I'm not sure. I'm not sure if you
think it's made up, I'm not sure. If you were used, I'm
not sure if you're the user. I'm pretty sure we were used for the
amusement of the gods. Yeah, you're not a religious man. Really,
I can't say I've been rather faithful and that he says he's religious, but
I suspect he's not much of a religious man either. I'm just going to
tell you right now, you're not going to get anything out of me.
There's the deal. Since I can't use magic to ply out anything I need
to pray out of your head, I'm going to offer you a turkey meal,
a nice, big plump turkey. If you don't take the meal,
I'm gonna leave you anyway some life. Two weeks are it? In?
Two weeks is odder enough? Get anyone? Now? I'm not going to
give some low any food until he gets on. Hey, you you can't
do that. Well. Some low likes a bit of centivization. You know
this is barbaric, and I I thought it's Jesus. You said you were
pulled up on this race. I yes, so called. Ah, we
were all summoned. Now, said they look weird, arms and legs and
all that. Yeah, tendrils, tender cales, if you're into that stuff.
Bo he had a lot of them. Did he have a sort of
oba's head like a squid? Yeah? Actually? Did he never feel like
he was tickling inside your brain? Who's looking at you? You definitely was
always watching? Yeah, you know what an ill if it is? Did
know what? What is that? They call him? Mind flowers? They
mostly live underground. Uh, pretty rare to actually find one that's that strong.
I reckon you and yours. I reckon that they planted something in your
head. I reckon they messed with you the behest of this Dragonfly crew.
Now, how the fun they managed to get one of them who worked for
them. I don't know why the fuck one of them would work for them.
I don't know this crew you speak of. I'm not familiar with them.
Never been on a ship on a ship, no, sure, not
that I can recall being on one recently. A couple of big names Dragonfly,
Lark mean anything to you? Doesn't ring a bell? Uh all right,
let's skip to the end. Since you only gave me half the story.
How did you come back? It was as if we were just thrown
out out of that I guess dimension you can say, And uh, this
dimension belonged to what? Ah? No, it was day of eki Ah.
He was merely a tool, he was. Well, that's how it
always felt. I could be wrong. But mhm now, uh, this
day of Eki? What did he look like? He was a medley mess.
That's all I'm gonna say. Where do I begin to describe? What
does deo Veki look like? Wow? It was something out of this world.
Uh if two eyes, if wings, he had multiple faces. He
was wearing this extravagant gown. It m and fleshy, No, no flesh.
He was just it was like he was made out of some sort of
metal. Yeah, they any chance powered by a sort of magical cores,
or maybe brought to life by some sort of enchantment. He tried to explain
to us that, well, after defeating I guess the same god he took
over. That's what would have happened to well one of us, one of
us was the chosen one to replace him and continue the cycle. But that's
why there's no magic, because the cycle didn't continue. And which one of
you was it? No, no, no, that I ain't gonna tell
you, all right, because I I don't I don't trust you. I
you have me locked up in here. Well here's the thing, right,
one of you is chosen to become the god of gods, and they pick
no offense. You an old lady who's uh, I don't know, sort
of a basically a homeless person out of dust. Well, what I beg
your pardon? Don't you dare talk about her like that? They live on
like sailing skiffs across the sands. You are so lucky I've changed, because
I would slap that mouth of hers right now. Not gonna lie. I
don't know much about dust. Well, I don't know much about where this
old lady came from. And uh, she's really hard to find anything about.
Mm. They pick a assassin, and then they pick a farm girl,
and uh, they tell you that one of you, of all the
people that are ones that's going to replace the God of gods, who,
from what I'm understanding, is an ark and eye made by an illafid.
I don't know why it's so hard for you to believe, but if you,
if you knew them as well as I did, you would understand all
all three of those ladies that they changed me. It's not they were They're
not just powerful. They I can see why they were chosen. They don't
give up. I've met a lot of powerful people, all right, sure
you have. And yeah, I'm me and my girls though, well It
just seems a little odd to me. What does I'm starting to believe that
you believe what you're saying. Oh really, so it's not just mumbo jumbo.
Now you're starting to believe I think it's mumbo jumpo, I think,
but I think it's your mumbo jumbo. Do you know how many cults have
risen up and taken over positions of political power in this they're sort of powers
that be to control everything. They're good at what they do, especially when
it comes to magic, especially when they start twisting that magic and applying it
to all sorts of tinkered things. There's a lot of power, shifting hands,
and a lot of power that people would do just about anything for now.
Those are the people that want to get themselves into positions. You know,
what about vengeful people? What about people that have got nothing to do
anything to I don't know, get some own back, to take their power
back. They scare me a little bit more than the nutters that are in
charge. See. The problem is, I think you've been twisted by one
of them. Twisted. Okay, that for me I find a little hard
to believe. Not not one of us had an inch of wanting vengeance as
you probably did. Maybe you did and they twisted it out of you.
Maybe justice, but not vengeance. Don't add up to me, that's the
thing. Don't understand why you well picked up by ah? He to do?
What? What did you do? Did you open the door? Do
you power something? Did you show him the way to activate that machine?
Ah? He was trying to kill us? And you are survived. We
did. Whereas are he now? I'd like to think he's gone or it
is gone. Mm hmm. I'd like to trust you, I would.
Yeah, I'd like to have faith in uh, well, just about anything,
but a person. What done this? Those were the magical words,
have faith, they said to him, And he decided to wipe faith out.
And so I'm afraid I just can't believe you. Well, there's no
magic in the world now, So how else do we explain that? Then?
How do you explain it? Well, just as I told you,
that's why there's no magic, because the cycle is broken? What cycles?
You mean, the the ancient magic eyes people? What came before before the
Frozen Age? I would only assume so and more. There were more before
that, Yes, there were more. There were many more cycles before this
one. And you were chosen to what roll in the next one. One
of us was destined to replace yes and continue the cycle, but instead we
broke it. But we didn't know that it would come to the cost of
well, magic not existing anymore. Okay, and how did you break it?
I guess when we defeated dear Veki. And then what happened. We
were all brought back here and my last ounce of magic I had with me,
I took away the snow. Yeh, yes, but I'm just too
bard. But because of what we went through, we were given gifts to
aid us in our race. Gifts strange little devices maybe, No, we
were given power, right, I was able to harness whispers. Was it
something promising you in exchange for a soul or blood or no? Each of
us we all were given a trinket by Dioveki himself. Well no, I
think they were even gifts from Ahi. Strangely enough, I was given a
vial. Okay, if you look through my pocket, I still have it,
but it's empty because I drank its contents. Yeah, that's what gave
me the power. We've seen all the way things you've got in your pocket?
Oh you have? Oh? No, can we keep some of those
discreet, sure, especially the uh the finger. Believe it or not,
it was twitching a lot before. Now it isn't. It's not for anything
else. I'm not into that ship. Ah okay, So you were granted
enough power stop the snow that every made in all of Bologna couldn't stop.
I'm sorry. Can you repeat that? Just about every wizard and every sorcerer
we have on record had a crack stopping the snow or finding out where it
came from. Not one of them made a dent. And then you pucked
up in the sky by a fellow named Ahi brings a potion. That's the
last thing you do, the last oance of your power, is just stop
the snow. Yes? Can you see how this looks? It? Probably?
Yes, It probably sounds unbelievable. What about some evidence? Then?
How can you convince me? I mean, the vile is as much evidence
I could give you. That's that's what gave me my power. Mhm.
It's true. No one really seems to know what the fuck that vial is.
The markings and that don't really mean much to anyone. We've seen stuff
like that before, though usually it's just old. Well you have my word
that that's not just something I picked up. How often do you think you've
lied to watchmen gods? Oh all right, let's not get out there,
buddy. Look, I'm not proud of some of the things I did before
I was living off the streets. It wasn't easy. My life changed when
I guess I was summoned. Would you say it gave you purpose? The
race didn't give me purpose, but the girls did, all right? If
you do anything to them, Unfortunately, I'm not really in charge what happens
to him. I will never stop fighting. How about this, I find
out you're lying to me willingly, We're going to take one of those girls.
We're going to talk to them noyes for fun, for funny. I'm
going to send him, mister Sumlow, here are your maniacs. Where is
Reginald? Reginald? Yes? Where is Reginald? Reginald? Now probably pulling
one of your girls off the street, dragging her into a different dungeon to
this one. I'm just shaking my head in just belief that they would do
that. If you one lost chance to tell me the truth, I am
telling you the truth, right. I would never I would never risk them
if you, if you need be for your amusement, take my fingers and
toes, but don't take them. Okay, Yeah, I'm pretty good.
What I do not the best, I'm pretty good. I reckon. I
reckon you've been used, That's what I reckon. I'm not going to deny
it. I I can't stay by that other the other. Oh you've been
mentioning, but we were definitely used by Dayo Veki. Yeah. I don't
know if the answers are in your head or not. I don't know if
we're going to get him out. I don't think I can let you go,
not until I know. Then keep me here is what I'm going to
do, though. I don't know if you're the ringleader. I don't know
if you're I don't know if you're an idiot. I don't know if you
are the son of k los Vela and had. I don't know if you
know anything. But I'm going to unchain you. I'm going to take you
to a different location. What I'm going to let you have dinner. I'm
going to keep you looked up. Uh, I mean, I want to
not deny food. I don't reckon you are quite as skillful for some of
your other members. But I gave you everything you need to get out of
this place, and you didn't. You just pissed down yourself. Well,
it might be the absolute greatest charade I've ever seen in my entire life,
and you might be playing me like a damn fiddle. But I'm going to
unlock those manacles. I'm going to give you some clothing, and I'm going
to give you a turkey drum. That would be great. That would be
great clothes. Questions are not over, I know this. I wouldn't mention
they are far from over. We know where your friend Sooner is, and
we have Aura, we have Ellie, We have mister Calougi Silatio, though
he has been less than helpful. You don't have them all where Sooner Sooner
will be uh with us soon enough. You already have me let them go.
Unfortunately, I need the insurance insurance for what If you are the ringleader,
if you are involved, if you are one of the Dragonfly crew,
then you killed a lot of people, including a lot of dragon Fly crew.
Do they have like I don't know, badge as they carried that they
wear in sport. Most of them have got tattooes. What does it look
like I have any tattoos I got? I got one above my butt that
says mom, be grateful with the heart. But that's all I got.
He saw that? Yeah, did you like what you see? No to
devastating pity what happened to her? I'm very sorry for your loss, but
also you fit the motive most of the other crew member motive. And what
motive would that be lost? Someone vengeful wanted to get back at the God's
what took that person from him? I understand now that it was my father
who hired assassins to get rid of my mother. Yes, but my mother
raised me well. Vengeance has no place in my heart. Sir, I
never forgive that man, nor will I ever acknowledge him as my father.
That is some useful information I can use, Thank you very much. What
wait? Wait wait? What would how We've been trying to figure out how
to get at the Bright starf for a little while. If what you're saying
is true made a friend out of me? What right? And I'll tell
you one thing. Leader as we know it, the Dragonfly crew man named
Cedric. What we understand, he lost just about everything, his whole family,
some sort of plague. Plague I think so hard to work out.
A lot of our information was purposefully sabotaged. M The only thing we do
know is he walked out of a bar one right, drunk and empty.
I met a young cleric. Cleric put a hand on his shoulder and told
him to have faith. He pulled out an old pistol, shot that cleric
in the head by the gods. And so it begins the story of the
end of the world. I guess while we were somewhere else, a lot
of other things were happening here. We just need to understand each other.
We shouldn't be against each other. The whole world is a mess now,
our world. Yeah, right, give me five minutes and I'll come back
with the key. Okay, We're gonna have to put a bag over your
red I all right, Well, if he'd be here, I will cooperate.
Remember, if you're lying to me, I'm not lying. Okay,
all right, we'll see you soon. In blue Eyes see you. We
return to the Portensia, and it has been some time since we last saw
you. There's been a full week. Things that you know. The ship
took a weird shortcut instead of sailing along the shores of the north of dust
Vale. It decided to sail on a rumor that the seas above Elmsia are
safe to travel now, and they shaved about a week maybe a little more
of their travel time. You've still got a little ways to go. The
giants will be able to translate some of the twins questions or your questions to
the twins, if you have any Oh, yes, of course, what
have you been asking them? Oh? Oh my, the first I haven't
been able to stop thinking about the the way he drew the drawings and then
tried to say, happen, not happened. I want him to ask me
that again. So it's kind of hard to discuss even through the giants.
It seems that the language that the twins use and speak isn't really giant,
and it isn't really primordial. They were told to learn these things by the
sort of elder monk that run the tower that they were from. But what
you can glean is that the I guess now now that we're ahead or well,
at some point recently around the same time Cairo as you were having visions
of sooner, it seems they were too. However, they have knowledge of
a woman that they refer to as mother. They've never met her, but
the elder of this of this tower claims that she delivered these children to the
tower. Yeah, that sounds exactly like her, to be honest. Told
the elder to bring them up in whichever way the tower deems necessary, but
to let them go whenever they wish to leave. It's mother always plotting.
It seems they had these blame that that she's my mother. I think they
probably get across to you that at first they thought that you were her.
Now they have images that were drawn or them of her. They've never seen
her in a vision. They've never seen you in a vision, but you
look so similar to the image. You just look like an older person.
Timeline wise, it kind of matches up that you would probably look about this
old ad you being the woman that brought them to the tower. They continue
to refer to you as mother. However, knowing that you're two different people,
they will not stop. Okay, okay, Yeah. The visions they
had are of so they didn't see me. They saw a person that was
an association with the tower card from a tarot deck, oh, that they
believed to be you. Oh, but but they also believed me to be
my mother. They with their eyes mistook you right beginning when they first saw
you on the shore of or on the dock. All right. They stopped
having any sort of visions around the same time as you around well, you
know this to be when the fall of magic was Whenever you got these questions
across to them, it would have been maybe a week ago. And they
sound very simp to yours. Cairo kind of dreams. They would wait from
dreams. They would have flashes of imagery that in the same way a dream
doesn't give you sort of logical sense. You might see an image, you
know, you could in a dream, you might see a building that's in
a completely different place than it should be, and then you wake up and
you're like, that's not where the empire state building is that kind of a
sensation. It seems that they didn't have them in such an intense way as
you. It seems that they simply saw this to be a sign, and
they followed the signs. And now that they've come to you, they're waiting
to follow you. They're just following you now, sooner, okay. And
this scene in front of this building with the torn tower. Can I understand
any more of that? They don't know any more than you. It's pretty
much I think what they I think. You get the sense that they were
hoping you would tell them a lot more, right. Will I do my
best not to look defeated or disappointed at all when I, you know,
don't get the answers that I'm looking for, And I just smile at them
and nod and try to be supportive and all that. They don't know if
they're twins, but they almost certainly are. They look very similar. They
were the same age in terms of like size of a baby when they were
brought in. They don't look like anyone I know, They don't really their
features are right, that's they very much like mother. They seem to be
about sixteen seventeen years old, so they look a little older. But you
get the sense that they're just in very very good shape, both of them,
very athletic. They seem to have basic sort of training with staffs and
things. They have some fighting skills and techniques, but they say that it's
just part of this Monkish training, and they mostly just lived a very simple
spiritual life in a mountain tower Nicole in the Giant Lands. Perhaps they represent
the tower and not me. Maybe it's interesting thought. Will. I try
really hard not to baby them, but I'm pretty sure I do anyway,
I can't help it. I think they are okay with it. I think
they accept all that's okay. I think they're very much okay with it.
I think that it seems like your customs might be a little alien to them.
You get the sense that it mirrors kind of how our Buddhist monks are.
They're very accepting and friendly, and they seem to be relatively peaceful,
and they just seem to be curious, but not to the point where it's
irritating. They just, you know, they're happy to answer questions, but
they don't ask too many. But I gave away my smut. Yeah,
they just seem to be very you know, they seem to be very at
peace and simplistic and what they want and need. Anytime you've made food,
or anytime anyone else and the crew has made food, they mostly seem very
happy to see it. You get the sense that they've been living off of
like really plain food forever. I make those extra special with some extra herbs
and things, and of course they always get an extra sliver of cake.
Yeah. Yeah. Their story seems to be really that anything that relates to
you really only comes from these visions. Do you tell them anything of your
journey or anything of anything else to do with your life? Unfortunately not through
a translator. No, I don't think that's very wise, and they don't
ask, I assume so no, I'm just curious as to what you tell
them. They also they consider Cairo to be kind of a sister. Yeah,
we've had some similar visions and we're close in age as well. They
also assumed that Hippo was the same, that he had had a vision and
come to find you as well. Oh wow, but then I assume you
would have erected them on that mm hm hm hm Bill, I mean,
yeah, yeah, well and anlease we but then also m h yah,
only make a point to talk to actually. Other than that, it's relatively
smooth sailing the the time that you've been here. The captain every now and
then will invite sooner to the captain's cabin. Almost everybody else has invited Cairo,
you know, to the Oh let's go to the bulkhead and look around.
Oh, we've got to look at this hatch. Oh there's a hold
over here, you know, come up to the top mast. I just
like to make a point that every time he does that, I stall by
telling him, asking him if he's reached a certain part of the book yet,
and that he can't come talk to me until he's reached this made up
point in the book. He's been reading it and if anything, it's making
him more fervent in his pursuance and with a backfire. Yeah, the rest
of the crew seem to be relatively forthcoming. There's a there's an old man
that you've seen once and he's a dangerous one. No, no, no,
there's a really really old man, human man who looks older than maybe
anyone you've ever seen. And I think he maybe saw him once, maybe
in the middle of the night, walking from one room before he walks into
another cabin and was gone. Other than that, I think you probably would
have went what is he wearing? The rest of the crew, he is
wearing like the classic sailor's outfit, like Shmi from Hook, but super old.
He looks kind of They all kind of look a little piratey, but
it's not necessarily that they're pirates. It's more just that they're not like a
you know, they're not like a sanctioned ship by any kind of country.
Here, they're just wear what they can. Really, you guys kind of
look no different respectively, and so you would know that each of the crew
members here, the dwarf is a pirate that was hired by the captain because
he is an expert in arcaney and smuggling that and the reason the captain wanted
to keep him on board is whether, first of all, if the ARC
and I suddenly started working again. Second of all, when they get to
date on the inquisition, can't find out that they have arcany on board,
so he still needs to smuggle it in. He is basically a full on
pirate, and everyone else recommends that no one spend any time alone with him.
Other than that, everyone else is pretty much just a crew member.
You have the halfling with you who's traveling. He just seems to have.
He just seems to be living a very happy nomadic life. That's just what
he does. He's just a traveler. He's never stayed in one place,
and he's almost like after your original encounter with him, after being so distraught
at losing the ability to use the amulet on the ship. He's pretty happy,
to be honest, He's always come across as kind of relatively joyful.
The Kenku seems pretty suss. A lot of the things he says kind of
conflicts, but it's probably more that he might have some sort of shady past.
But no different in the sense that Bo is a pickpocket. You get
that kind of sense off of him. He's a barred who maybe you know,
picks a pocket on two right, and yeah, like that's that's I
think your your journey so far, and it has been let me just work
out the timelines real quick as you find out that you're on the final stretch.
It's also been very clean and clear sailing. I think there might have
been one or two days when it was a little rougher, but there hasn't
been any storms or anything like that. And you can thank Dice Rolls for
that one. Thank you. And uh, it has been twelve days.
Oh, it's a much shorter trip than we expecting. And you're looking at
the last couple of days, there's still a couple of days left. By
the time you get to date on you will be plus nineteen days from the
Fall of Magic. Currently, Ara and crew are plus eight days as it
sits right now, you're ahead of them, just for you, the viewer,
And I, what are you guys doing today? Will? How's the
weather today? Relatively clear but a little not not the wonderful sunshine that it
was. It's muggy when you it's actually all right when you a mist and
a fog, but not like a deep fog. It's just you know,
you can't see very far out. The sky is overcast, but smooth seas
lovely. Will so Chiro and I look over to the other two, who
I know really can't understand me, but I address them anyway. We do
this thing in dust fail we've uh, we'll fashion cloth to to sticks and
string and and and fly it in the sky. And it's it's it's probably
the perfect day for it today, Do you do you want to try that?
Well? And and you see my eyes kind of dark towards the stairs
and back down here. Do you think there are a lot of people on
deck who cares? Oh, we'll find it. We'll find a spot.
Okay, it's really it's a it's a lot of fun, I promise,
Okay, I'll just stick close by. It's just that I've been getting a
lot of attention and I, oh, don't worry about that. Well,
we'll them off for you. Just yes, everyone, we should all go
together. I've been, I've been, and I've been working on it for
the last twelve has it been? Has it been twelve days? I think
so. Well, I've made two. I've made two, and I think
it'll be a lot of fun. So let's go up, shall we.
You can come too if you if you don't want to be left alone,
but you can't fly one for the kids. When I'm pointing to the little
halfling, oh, the halfling is probably sitting reading something of his own,
and he kind of looks up at you and says, yes, okay,
I'll do that. He closes his book lovely joins the two. The twins
just stand up above you. The Kenku says, oh, let's have a
go. Then I have a go with What what's that? Well, it's
it. It's a it's a skybird and we're going to we're going to fly
it. I'm a bird, yes, a land bird flying a skybird.
Right. Well, you can come too if you'd like, I suppose,
but you can't fly one. They're for the kids. What about after they're
done though? They can get bored eventually, aren't they. Well, I
mean maybe, but you might be surprised. Well, we'll find out,
won't we. All Right, I huffily grab my things and head on upstairs.
Mm hmm, you guys, head on up. And once you get
up to the top deck again, it's always windy because you're on a ship.
Right there is relatively overcast, not raining, kind of gray. Heading
up there. You can see that most the crew are up there, the
two Goliath. You can see that Wayne is is dealing with some some rigging
as well, with the uh, with the with the the The Elf is
not present, and up there instead you see the Goliath that likes to read
for you know, to be Zenobio, that waved at everyone who's been friendly
over the last twelve days since I've been feeding everybody. I probably know a
couple waves down at you. I think basically, you see everyone, You
see Captain Spiross, you don't see n O, You see Zenobio, you
see Wayne, you see the dwarf Dozzie, and you see Ossi the Goliath.
Lovely this way, let's let's head to the to the the ass of
the ship, so we're not in any one's way and we don't hit the
sails or anything like that. So okay, Cairo, you can you can
just take this one. Now. You see, it's it's got it's pink
like your hair, and and it's got the little dangles on it will make
sound when you when you put it up in the sky. And then so
now what you do is you just want to roll it up and then when
the wind catches you just go ahead let it go, and then quickly unwind
it and let it let it fly up there in the in the sky for
you, and then it'll make some some sounds there. It'll it'll chime for
you in the wind. And then then then and you too. And then
I I give the second one to the twins. I'm more excited than I
probably should be about a toy. They both kind of hold on to it,
but like in an awkward way, and then they look back at you,
Cairo, show show them. So I'm I'm rolling it and I take
a look around for keepy because you would have followed me up absolutely flying around
somewhere. Yeah, okay, because I don't want him getting tangled or whacked
by this, and I'll do exactly as soon as said and unfroll this thing
and hopefully not get carried. Oh no, it's it's tiny. It's very
very small. Yeah you yeah, And this this string unravels this kite.
What did you say? They looked like, well, they have little wingspans.
They look like they look like desert birds that we see often in Dustriale,
So they probably wouldn't recognize it. But it it kind of moves away
from you in the same way that Keeper would do when you would kind of
train when when Keep he was younger. But this bird kind of flies up
and then it a certain point and then begins to kind of move around in
the air. It flies above you. You see the the wind catch it
in a perfect way. And then you hear these chimes and this whistling coming
from the from the the birds. The two twins are looking up and then
they look back at Kura, and then they look at you sooner, and
then they look down, and then you hear them speak to one another,
of course, and then they kind of bicker a moment. You can both
take turns now, it's all right. The boys bickering I'll hand one over
to the girl. I'll hand mine over. The bickering is more to do
with how to do it? You get there before the girl just kind of
like flicks the brother on the shoulder and then kind of steps back. She
lets go, and he lets the the kite go. It flies up,
and then two chimes and two sets of kinds of flying in the air.
The crew you can hear kind of giggling and laughing watching this happen as well.
Keep it flies in circles around them. At first it seems a little
wary, and then kind of flies upwards and then begins to just do circles
around them. As the ship continues on, the the girl, who has
a hands free kind of claps and smiles. The boy laughs quite heartily.
What are you What are you doing here, Poe? Oh? Just watching?
Watching what or who? Sooner sneaks to see her so happy. Yeah,
there's about sixty seconds that go by before a kenku steps up behind and
says, oh, let's have a go. Well, they're they're still using
it, you said when they get tired of it, But they're not all
right. I mean, if you want too soon, I don't mind hearing
his tone shot, did you know any songs about flying? Oh? Yeah,
I know a few songs about flying. Yeah, I've done a little
bit of flying in my time. I'm not with these old things. Well,
perhaps, do you know any about dust bill? Well, I'll tell
you I know a couple of dust Well, yeah, what do you know?
Well, there's a there's a song of Mistra. There's a dust vel
the people what should have been left. There's a dust veil that he kind
of looks at. You do fail the people? Beautiful people on red sands.
Okay, well that one's fine. Sing that one. He starts playing
a song a lot of people on the red sandstrom. He's just making it
up. He only knows like awful songs because a lot of people are kind
of awful towards people from dustbel because Dustwell is worst place. Really, it's
just in your mouth, young man. A spell is full of sin and
corruption and banditry and lovely skybirds. One family that belong to Suna that are
probably not that bad. That's fell is terrible. The only people in dust
Bail who are not pure evil are whoever the descendants of you are? I
think there's only one reason go to dust Fell. You've got nowhere else to
go, And so he tries to sing a song about how wonderful Dustfell is,
but he comes up with very little. Most people don't know much about
Dustfell. Dustell has terrible origins, terrible rumors and in all right, I'm
sure if he was there, he'd fit right in. Though that's the irony.
Are you sure you're about that? That was there? But oh I
forgot it, didn't I? Yeah, I forgot something? And he goes
downstairs. Well maybe that was a bit too too harsh. What me?
Of course he's not gonna know anything from Dusfield. Well I should have maybe
let him fly one of the skybirds. I was just so excited to see
the kids with it. Some steps from behind you, all right, can
I have a go? It's why he startled me there, let's have a
go of it. Well, I mean it's it's like they're like miniature sales.
He looks at you, confused, and then pointed if I was gone,
come on, let's have a quick goal. Oh, I'll see if
I can shoot one of them out. How dare you? Absolutely not?
You will do no such thing? All right, I won't. I'll try
and shoot what sails and the canting again after the last thank you all right?
Yeah, no, you're right. That was a nightmare. That was
I almost drank this straight down. You know how about we don't shoot anything?
Wait, I got caught in the the rigging got caught right, and
then all the sails was pulling into each other, and then two of them
turned the wrong way right, so the ship rights to me. No,
I don't know. I don't know bout fix in and that. You know
what, Wayne, you know what? You remind me of what a hero
in a ballad? And I think there's a Kenku downstairs that would love to
write about you and your story with him. You should you should go down.
He was just up here wondering what to thing about. You should go
tell him this story right now. That's a good idea that he starts talking.
Hmm. Can I look up at the skybirds and the kids and Cairo
and look look at smile. You see a set of eyes looking at her
from the lower deck up you're here, Yeah, I look down. I
look over it. Sooner I'm not looking. Is that waving you off?
Sooner? You can see the elf? Stop it, leave her alone.
We're having a family outing no one downstairs, come on, oh for crying
out loud. I just waved my hat at him, dare you? And
then I whisper. Just pretend like you can't get him, honey. Okay,
if you ignore them so often they go away. The reposition my body
so that it's harder to see from his angle. No, I don't know
if it's Oh, I absolutely step in the way. Just put my frail,
old woman body in the way. It's all right, you just you
just fly your skybird. I look back up. I'm definitely enjoying this.
I especially like the chimes watching keeping the sore in about. The twins look
pretty happy. Everyone's kind of laughing, you see. The halfling just kind
of leaned up against a mass watching the captain pretty much doing the same thing.
Just seems to be enjoying the moment. As the ship sails on,
the skies brightened a little more. As as the ship passes on, and
I think, probably a good time to switch back to alone. Then Ellie,
did you head to the low town? I believe you did. I
did, and h by the time I got there, I would have climbed
onto the roof of a place. Yeah. So navigating that way, you
head to the Oh, there it goes again. You had to you weren't
going to the bar where you were going to a bar? Yeah, I
was. I was going into Lowtown because that's where BO was the last scene.
Like, going in that direction, you get to go to the the
Messy Triangle. There is a a bar that you know, has come to
be known as the Messy Triangle. It probably wasn't what it was called,
but it's a bar that people frequent quite often ladies of the night, and
most of the patronage are middle aged men. It's a relatively seedy place hidden
just slightly off of the main road, but not you know, completely hidden
in an alleyway the place where BO would be. While I'm about the roof,
I want to, like, I want to keep an eye out see
if I see anything, because if I mean if a bug was being followed,
that means that we were probably the ones that were actually being followed.
Yeah, Rommi, dicey, are the kidding me? Four? You don't
see nothing? How long do you wait here? Uh? I think I'd
wait for a little bit, and then I guess I would I would move
down and try to peek my head in just to see if I see Bow
in there. Yeah. When you peek your head into this bar, it's
awful. It's disgusting. Everything you see in there is exactly the type of
thing you expect Bow to do on an average afternoon. You see, know,
Bo, he's pretty confident he's not in there. Yeah, I guess
I'll try to get attention of one of the ladies and say, hey,
excuse me. You've seen a man with long white hair, a long white
beard, and some really shady looking glasses and very loud. It's a bard
likes to sing. Let's roll a dice, she says, She goes,
oh, bo bobo, Oh so you do know I'm okay, yeah,
okay, not surprised. Yeah, he has he been in here lately.
Oh, I haven't seen him in a long time. No, what's lately
like this year? We've seen him this year. I haven't seen him weeks
long time. No, not today, No, it's why I die.
Well, all right, thanks you. Oh he's a friend of mine and
uh someone else the mutuals looking for them, and I would like to find
him, don't you were him? He's lovely, really all right, he's
got gold. Oh, I know. I know, he's like a it's
like a grandpa of me. I just walk out. Yeah, well come
back when he can. All right, it's affecting my bottom line and being
missing and you, yeah, you head out. I'm going to walk in
the direction that he was like walking towards like this, is it to be
honest? No, no, no, I meant walk back to where like
he was. Just like to traverse that area and try to look for anything
any signs. All right, roll me dies click it thirteen mm. I
don't even know how you would do it. But okay, you see something,
uh huh, a clue? Your eyes go over something. If you
can guess what I'm thinking you see, I'll tell you that you see it?
Can I use insight? No, dang it. I'd say it's between
three things. I'd say. Can I go ahead and just list the three
things. I'd say it's either clothing, blood, or something knocked over.
It looks like a scuffle happened. If you can guess the one thing you
see, k October? Dang it? Why is it so difficult? It's
impossible to do, But it's always wanted to ring up and down the street
hoping you see something after that, the one thing knocked over. Uh,
I'm gonna say, like some sort of tankred, not tankred, but something
like that. That's something had to drink out or that contains alcohol some sort
I don't know how you did it, and maybe you should they actually do
it. Find some sort of like Okay, it becomes the next Darren Brown
situation. But you see a man standing over some kegs of beer that he
was bringing into another small tavern. He as you walk past, he uh,
you walk past him and he's kind of ratching his head and you walk
past and you just catch him. Say, maybe that old mount excuse me,
what old man? What old fellow drunk out of his nut stumbling out
of that doorway? Can you describe him? Shifty looking? I reckon,
I'm looking for my grandpa because he's a little bit, you know, crazy
in the head, and he likes to drink. And yeah, I don't
think he was drunk. I think he was lying. And I think he
fell over because I was carrying stuff in and they knew that it would kind
of distract me, and then he nipped one of me kegs. He had
long, long white hair and a beard and some glasses. Yeah, weird
glasses. Ain't never seen anyone with him on before, black in the eyes
like a demon. Yeah, yeah, he doesn't like he doesn't want you
to see how tired he actually is. Don't see where he shifty eyes are
looking. I reckon what happened him? Stole a keg? I reckon?
Did you see which way he went? Drunk out of his nuts, stumbles
out of the doorway, therefore over falls over. Then wait a minute,
you ain't a fear bowl? What what are you? And elf? Half
half elf? Half what? Half elf? Half human? What do you
think? Well, fear bowl came over like a mage or something. Big
robes picked him up, said grandfather, come on, and helped him off
down that alleyway there, right. Ah yeah, I guess maybe the authority's
got him before me. I'm not surprised it's not the first time. Well,
thank you about that. And I tossed him a gold coin. Oh
yeah, that'll replace it. Yeah, you tell that old man if he
took my keg, to be paying me more than a gold piece next time.
Yeah. Yeah, maybe I can repay that and I'll just take off
down the alleyway. Yeah, you head down the alleyway? Does it look
like anything like, is he like anything dropped or anything missing? Because can
I safely assume that inquisitors found him big old mage robes and stuff. You
can assume. Um, if you want to pump three ap in, I
will give you a curious case. Okay, Well, you kind of look
up and down this alleyway. I think it takes a long time. And
then maybe just as you're about to give up, maybe you're about to just
pick a direction and go, you see something, just an odd looking feather.
There are feathers quite often, there are pigeons and birds and stuff all
over the place. But you see an odd looking feather, just kind of
off color. As you lean down, you realize it's attached to a very
thin looking dart, the type of thing that you might find in like a
blowpipe. Yeah, as you pick it up, it's for sure, it's
it's it's a thing that maybe you've never used, but you know that the
Assassin's Guild certainly employed this kind of thing. Put a little poison on the
end usually will make someone tired or maybe knock them out entirely. It doesn't
look like ours though, right, definitely not know Okay, great, Uh,
they got him, and I mean safe to assume if this is in
they got bug as well. Which way did I did I last see?
Like as I as we were walking away, did I last see oregouse?
She went in that like complete opposite direction to me. Yeah, or I
did? Where you headed north east? She headed northwest and bow headed south.
I think I tried to go back to where we all split and then
retrace her steps. I'd like run back there, try to be quick about
it, because if the inquisitors got him, I don't think I'm gonna be
able to just bust in. There's a group of people standing around a little
northeast of where you were, in an open market area, you can see
just a bunch of people kind of gathered around an area. They all just
seem to be talking. It's pretty strange and out of the ordinary. I
think I'd just quietly walk up to, you know, a lady in the
back and just be like, what happened here? What happened? Let me
tell you there's something, dearie, And there was a murder or maybe who
died? Oh it was an inquisitor. An inquisitor was here and died.
Yes, it was a crazy fight. Fire terrible woman with a very large
sword cut him up. Horns or maybe some horns. Yes, they both
had horns, both of them teeth things, one red like fire, the
other one pale like death. Which way did the big sword one go?
She ran off in well, that direction she points up towards where the high
town is, kind of the area where the inquisition building is. Is there
like an inquisitor body there? No, but there is like a scene of
chaos. There's some blood, there's like scorch marks of fire glass. I
don't think investigating this guy will help me as much as perhaps going and just
chasing down a trail. So I would wherever the lady pointed, I would
run in that direction. Okay, again trying to be swift instead of stealthy
like I can be while being very agile. Yeah, Roma, dice,
you're being followed. As you start maneuvering through town. You come away from
this area where the chaos is, and you move kind of into again up
towards where the high town is. Midtown is by far the largest portion of
the town, and it's kind of you know, twisted and turning. It's
all old cobblestone roads and dirt alleyways and canals, and as you're moving through
things, you catch just out of the very corner of your eyes, someone
very skilled following you. As you move into an alleyway, just as you
turn, just to follow your own tracks, you catch just the edge of
a shadow of someone shift out of sight. It's in such a way that
they most certainly were about to walk into this alleyway, and then they catch
you turning, and they turn. I think I would keep walking and try
to go around a corner and then get really quiet, and if they come
around, I'm going to try and and sneak attack them. Oh, you
have sneak attank Yep, let's see sneak attack does again. Okay, you
died around a corner, roll met a dice twenty twenty again. I'm gonna
let you I need this. I'm gonna let you off of a punishment that
I gave KPP last week for not reading sneak attack properly. Oh. It's
when a nearby fox attacks a creature that's not you. You can exploit their
focus. So you have to kind of have a two people fighting and when
someone else attacks, you can use that opportunity. However, the the threat.
Oh god, that was loud. The the danger moves up this alleyway.
You kind of put your back to the wall. You prepare to react
to them as they appear at the very moment, in one of those kind
of anime moments, as everything freeze frames. This figure, cloaked in a
black cloak from top to bottom, moves out of the alleyway. What are
you doing. I'm gonna try, well, I'm gonna try and get behind
them and then like press the dagger right to their throat, like threatening to
penetrate skin, but not quite doing it yet. All right, you can
a whisper tell me why I shouldn't kill you right now? There's the person
comes to a full stop. I'm going to roll a dice. Can you
be an eighteen? It depends on what Just rolling a dice ten? The
figure drops down quickly. You feel as your arm comes in to close on
their arm. A hand kind of blocks your wrist, just twists your arm,
but not in a way that it hurts too much. He just turns
around and drops his cloak down and says, I'm not too old. It's
Zach. Why are you following me? He looks you up and down and
says they want you now, In fact, they want all of you.
What for you are wanted? I figured that much. I mean they got
they got Bug, and they got Bow. I can only assume they got
Aura, although I mean there was apparently a dead inquisitor in the road,
so maybe they didn't. Maybe she escaped. No idea where she went though,
trying to find her. What is your plan? Can't be just bust
in and kill them all, now, can it? Can't really do that
by myself? Oh what they say about you? Is it true? What
part that you're responsible for the death of everybody? I'm not responsible for any
I'm responsible of many deaths. You know this. I've told you the truth
though, Why would I Why would I hide that from you? You remove
the magic? We didn't remove magic, We had no power over that.
But you know about this machine? What machine? Well what you mentioned to
me, like when I told you about the magic going some like Firefly Crew
something like that, Like you told me, I don't know who they are.
They're not us. Do you think I just leave the guild and go
join some weird cult. I think people do strange things all the time.
I think a lot of them do it. In defiance. But no,
I don't, And then we have to get you out of the city and
go where I'm still waiting on another friend to arrive and your friends are gone.
I can't have her walking in here, though she's an old woman,
Like, what's she going to do when she gets in here? Fight them?
I don't think so she is on her own. Your friends have already
been captured and you will be next. We will not be able to stop
them. You need to find Aura. I need to find Aura. No,
you're BoNT They know where they hideout is they know most of our safe
houses. You need to leave, go to Streledo. I'm gonna hand him.
I'm gonna reach in and hand him the rest of the story that I
was holding. It's the rest. This is the rest that they want to
know. We had no part in this. We had no part in whatever
happened here for all I know, Like, I don't know what happened here
while we were gone a lot apparently, So you want to stay in the
city. I can't just leave him. You think you're going to be able
to take on the entire inquisition by yourself, isn't? Then? What I
have you guys for? Good help. I don't think we can help you.
They'll wipe us out. I need you to send word. I need
you to try and send word zoom, Brad. Do I know are there
any direct ports into Boloona. It's inland, right, so there can't be
right. Yeah, the closest port is Daydon. There's Solva Caspin Wharf pretty
much everywhere else. Actually, But if I were to, like whenever I
was living in that fake world or a year, what route would I have
taken to get to Dustville or to get to where it was? Like?
What optimal routes? Optimal route from Bologna would probably be Solva, Australia,
the larger ones. Daydon has a port. It is just a port city,
so I guess that would have worked too, pretty much any port on
the east or south or west or south. I need you to send a
message. I need you to send it to every port that could come in
from Dustville. And I need you to tell sooner that she needs to be
careful, that we're being kidnapped pretty much here and it's not safe. Then
to send word back, maybe to you, because I guess you'll know where
to find me. They're going to be watching me. They're probably going to
be watching the ports for messages. They don't know where Bug is. He's
in the warehouses, sleeping, sleeping. Yeah, he was attacked. They
got him. I guess it hadn't have been him, or it hadn't been
them. Yes, well, we did train some of them. They use
a lot of our techniques. Well, maybe we shouldn't have done that.
Maybe that was a mistake. Don't have a choice. Okay, Well,
I really need to find Or first. Well, I'm afraid you're a somewhat
on your own. I wrote you a message on your desk. I'm sorry
about your desk. By the way, I'll make it up to you if
I get out of this. Very well, I still say you should leave.
They capture you, I will not be able to get you out easily.
Yeah, well, I promise I'll get out as soon as I find
out what happened to Or how's that? Try to send someone to Bug and
get him to send the messages. He owes me that much, at least
for getting knocked on his ass, And what of the drunk he's harmless.
Just keep him there. I'll pay for his bills too. Eventually I'll have
to hand him over, maybe send him on his way. Then at least
give him a chance to run. I don't think he's gonna get fold,
but very well, that's up to you whenever he thinks the better option.
If it looks like you comply, maybe you'll get to stay out of this.
Maybe they'll trust your word a little bit more. But he has no
information for them anyway, he doesn't know. He just thinks everyone's a demon.
Yeah. Maybe he's right. Yeah, very well, good luck.
Yeah, I'll need it. I shall endeavor to keep you safe in whatever
way I can, but not at the expense of the guild. I wouldn't
expect anything less of you. And then I reach in one more time.
I grab a little note and I pass it to him, and then I
just run off. I don't wait for him to open and respond. All
right. He looks left and right, moves into the alleyway and opens it.
I'm not gonna say what it says yet, all right, And that's
where we're in today's session. Thank you so much for watching, everybody,
and thank you so much for playing players. Find in the future, I'll
find someone I've run a hard position, in a very hard position to locate
them. Well, now they're coming after me. So I'm not about the
rest of you. But I'm having a gale time over here, having a
great time on a ship. Yes, I am so good, Sash.
Everyone so split up. It's so chaotic, jumping back and forth all over
the place. A lot going on and a lot to continue. Next time
we'll do a quick round of shoutouts to see where people can find you in
the week, and then next week we will continue as the ship gets closer
to the port of Dayton and all these lots continue to do what the hell
they're doing in the town. Don't split the party. Or maybe maybe it
was a good idea. Let's go a reverse order. Let's start with Pocket.
