We once again joined the party in the town of Kira, which is a
relatively militant town based around a castle, recently built castle and a trading town
which has propped up around it. The four of you have entered the town
and taken a if you look around, done a little shopping, resupplied,
and while attempting to find somewhere to stay and to have some dinner, you
were to meet a guard known as Ezra that you rescued from some trolls.
He didn't show, but you also were forcibly removed from the tavern and barred
from the slumbering respite in the upper ward, the upper quarter of Kira,
and I think we find the four of you kind of heading away from that
area. Somewhere between the upper ward and the lower ward there is a like
a bridge like a tunnel that goes underneath a great big wall with battlements on
the top, and that is when it begins to rain. It is around
midnight here. It is pretty dark, but it's a relatively lively town.
And I think the only other inn you know of that you'd heard of in
town was known as go Go's Alehouse, which is in the southern ward part
of town. But it's up to you if you want to go there,
or if you want to look somewhere else, or what you want to do,
let me know. Around you, most people begin to scurry off into
their homes or into the tavern that you've just been removed from. What are
you guys are doing? Well, it's midnight and it's raining, so I
think we're going to probably take that other lead immediately. We want to go
exploring in the dark in the rain. The four of you make your way
south towards the entrance of this place, which was the whole town is kind
of up on a natural cropping of rock, like a plateau. The castle
itself is even higher up, always kind of looming over the area, a
perfect strategic place for a castle. But the town is a new build town,
but there's a lot of stuff here. It's packed in pretty tight because
of the amount of space available up on the plateau. There's a bunch of
different smaller taverns that you don't suppose would have rooms. Until eventually you come
to the southern most part of town, right near where that entrance gate is
where you left the carts, and Guinness doesn't seem to be there anymore,
but you can see that there's a relatively ramshackle looking building. Parts of it
are, compared to the rest of the town look a little more beaten up.
You can see that the door seems to be a completely different shape for
the hole that it's supposed to fit in. There are windows that are boarded
over, and the sign that would be hanging down from in front of the
tavern is missing. From inside, you can hear a decent amount of people.
It sounds like it's relatively busy at the door. Standing just outside in
the rain, cloak over his head is an eight foot orc from your best
guess. That's a big fellow. Is he just standing there? Like is
the bouncer I presume pretty much got his arms crossed, staring at you as
you, guys get closer and closer and closer, but doesn't say anything to
you. I'll just regard him with a nod and walk in unless he stops
me. He looks at the other three walking towards the bar, but actually
does speak to you and says, human ork. You have weapon, course,
do you know use I have no reason to use it, even if
someone tried to cut off your head. You know yours. No promises in
that case, then you're not coming you three good? How is somebody going
to cut off your head if they don't have a weapon, either of say,
can't use it? What? Well you said you're not allowed to use
your weapon inside if someone tries to cut off your head, so no use
just him, won't use this weapon. I'll tell you need to use it.
I'll tell you what if someone tries to cut off my head, I'll
kill them without my weapon because I sang them outside, didn't kill them out
here? That works too, You no kill inside? I don't know m
ruins my plans for the night. Mm hmm, what was a chokeh Please
don't get as kicked out of another place tonight. Well you've never been walking.
Yeah, the door opens again. The door doesn't seem to fit.
It's like an odd shape. It's a kind of a rounded rectangle inside of
a door way that would fit a perfect rectangle. The door kind of opens
and creaks, and as soon as it opens up, you get the scent
of a few things. First of all, there's the scent of some food.
It doesn't smell too bad in that sense. But then there is the
scent of sweat. There's the scent of sweet smoke, which you would recognize
to have a particular odor that would usually and commonly be found underground and away
from open establishments like this. The people inside, the first thing you notice
is that no one is human inside here. There is there are a couple
of teeth, wings, there is there is elves, There are dwarves,
there is halflings. You see a tobaxy, which is like a cat,
person lounging in the in the in the back where there would probably usually be
a half there is not. There is just a lounging cat across a well
tobacxi man lounging across a set of rugs. And to one side there is
a small bar. And at the small bar is a very small goblin,
maybe about three foot tall, very large mustache across his face, sharp,
small pointed teeth, red eyes, very greasy clothing. On his back is
a is a short or maybe a scimitar with its curving, but it's very
rusty. And everyone in here looks They all look like bandits. As soon
as you walk in, you look in everyone's faces and you get the sense
that every single person in here is up to no good, I think is
the sense you get as soon as you step in. A handful of the
patrons nearby, as soon as you step in will kind of look up at
you and turn to each other. You can hear some muttered conversations. There
is almost every language here being spoken but common so depending on those of you
that speak other languages, you might be able to pick up a few things.
But you get the sense that there's quite a few people in here,
and they tend to be sticking to groups of dwarves, in groups of elves
and stuff. There are no shadow elves, but yeah, everyone kind of
gives you a strange look. Oh there is also orcs, and for the
record, the guy at the door was a full blooded orc. And at
the back beside where the Tobacxi is lounging in a in a cloud of smoke,
there are a pretty decent sized group of of of orcs, maybe six
or seven of them, with a couple moving around. The only goblin is
the one at the bar. Pretty rare sight to see a goblin in a
city as well orcs and less so goblins, Cobalds, tobacci are extremely rare.
It's like seeing a gnome it's pretty pretty rare to see a TOBACSI.
For the most part, they are. They are found on the outskirts of
society usually, what do you, guys do, want you to step in
a lot of people giving you filthy looks? Will I will give them filthy
looks right back. No, we'll disregard it, Okay. I just kind
of look for the rest of the group and say, well, oh,
I know why August told me to have it to come here. I don't
know about you guys, but this this is my kind of place. Really,
yeah, I say, it's more it's more lively here than you know.
I just can I mean, we got kicked out of the other place.
I mean, you know, and is this the kind of company I
used to keeping? I can't say, but you know, I'm willing to
get to know. Okay, I want to glance at the teeth LANs just
yeah me, I mean investigation check ooh A twenty three. These guys are
are wearing patches on their on their chests, on their armor. Both of
them are wearing leathers the armor over any clothing. It's not they're not They're
not wearing sort of workmen's clothes. Or anything. They just appear to be
wearing clothing underneath made armor, and you would recognize the symbol on the front
of it, which is it looks like the shape of a scorpion tail,
as being the the symbol of a place on the island of Fairness Timarosa,
where the where the teeth things are from, as the symbol of Narra.
Why they would be if you saw these guys in Narray, you would assume
they probably worked for the god, or maybe they worked in some capacity for
the mayor or the officials involved there. But they are very very far away
from Nara. Narray is on the far western side of the island of Venice
Timarosa, and it's very strange to see them, to see them wearing that
patch here, but also probably gives you a little small pang of home thickness,
perhaps just to see that symbol. They glance at you, but they
do not care at all that you're in here. They glance at you first,
then they look over across the rest of you, and then go back
to their conversation. They're drinking and eating. Okay, are they just keeping
to themselves or are they talking to other people totally to themselves. How crowded
is this place. It's pretty busy, but not crowded. There's plenty of
tables that are open. Most people are sticking to the tables around the edges,
where it's slightly less well lit. At the center of the room,
there's a very very poor looking ramshackle chandelier with lots of candles on it,
which is providing the most light at the bar. There are several candles behind
the bar itself that are providing light, and a few of the tables have
candles. But there are also areas of this room that are almost in complete
pitch darkness with people sat at tables. But in terms of busyness, it
is probably about two thirds capacity. Not crowded, but still kind of busy.
You know, it's midnight, so it's probably about as busy to get
as it gets. Maybe this kind of a ball Is it normal for drinking
houses to be kept this dark? If it's not a human establishment? M
most people in I'm kind of what I'm kind of wondering. All right,
Well, I suppose I never really thought about mm hmm. Must be nice.
I mean just looks normal, you know, Yeah, it does little
things you don't notice. Yeah, something tells me I'm not going to be
the most popular customer here, so I'm probably not going to say a whole
lot. Are you kidding me? All eyes are practically on you. You're
like a celebrity in here. Maybe they've heard the tales of the Beast from
Guinness already. It's amazing how quickly he gets around. All right, we
should probably get some rooms fast. Just make sure they don't stay out.
I'll approach the broad maybe maybe, well you should stay back a little bit,
maybe try and look less obvious. I don't know, is that possible.
It's almost impossible. He's enormous and he's in that A lot of people
in here are small folk. Yeah, it will try to look inconspicuous,
but it's not very easy to I will take the instructions to be inconspicuous and
then loudly clank over the table impossible for anyone to not hear me, and
just goes down. Yeah. So you find a table, you sit down
at it. Next to you is a table of dwarves that look at you
up and down. They kind of speak amongst themselves, carrying on their conversation
about their day. Is nothing is said about you or anything like that.
On the other side of you at the table is a few elves. They're
kind of having their own conversation as well. It's even less interested in you
when you sit down. So you find a decent spot. Who is sitting
at the table and who's going to the bar table? Okay, you three
head over to the table, and as fix heads over to the bar,
the barman pushes a drink to somebody who, at first glance, seems as
if he's asleep, a very very stocky looking dwarf laying half across the bar,
half sat on the stool in front of it, yet with his eyes
entirely closed. The very kind of ramshackle, greasy looking tankard slides across the
bar to him, and his hand goes out and grabs it. And as
you approach, the goblin in his greasy outfit looks up to you and speaks
in pretty decent infernal to you quite quickly and says, I come right around.
This would be quite abnormal, right, I feel like I'd be taken
aback by this. Yeah, not many people really speak infernal. It's not
the yeah, yeah, not not crazy common that people speak. The Tiefling
language. Uh, I'm looking for a room, if you have any rooms
tonight? Say no, this this four of us, the pus double and
what's the going right? It looks like you guys have good clothes on there?
Mm hm for gold for gold each right? Only one rolls and ads
women comes in her, isn't it We've got nowhere else to go, is
it? M I consider making a smart response, but I kind of look
around and think about the time. I'll pay it right for gold each she's
gonna does? I heard you're gonna pollet. Everyone nearby laughs at you.
A couple people shout jeer at you for this, uh this thing. He
says, I'm gonna rob you. Okay, that's one silver but a human
still put dubble mm hmm. Right, I knew I shouldn't let fire handle
this. Maybe not fire, you know, make fire here. No,
it's my friend's name. That's a still bad. Now, don't say that
to her face? Okay, which one? Uh? The it's fine looking
kind of alvious right now. I have a dag around and I'm doing that
thing on the table where you try to hit between your fingers and not stab
your finger. I just point at you there are like at least six other
people doing this in the bar. He looks and says, shut our ears
that their own business are not No, what kind of business? Silence business?
Oh it's not silence? No, I don't think she ever tried or
she kind of have to try. Hmm if we wanted to try, how
would we do? We don't get to try, right, Okay, So
how do you become the one of silence? Then? I don't know how.
We seem to know an awful lot for someone who's not an else,
But I don't know how to become a silence. I just know that there
is or there isn't. And if it isn't, you did in cut.
IFU is you're rich, you're probably not going to become ann are all right?
Interesting? Right? You wanned it? Here's your money? Okay,
we got a room for your big room. Okay, what one room or
four rooms? One room? They don't get four room. We don't even
get bad looks? Right, but that does include food and drink? You
want? Do you want drink? No, that definitely includes food and drink.
No, man, where your fenders? As Chariday? I would call
it daylight robbery. But it's not even daylight. You guy don't know I
got blend friends. No, not many of you around right now? Thanks?
Sh h hm. I'm not gonna ask what that means, right,
four room, one room, I guess not four rooms? Great? And
how much is what have you got to eat? And how much is it?
Chocolate? Star? Right? Is chocolate even common? I feel like
chocolate would be really uncommon, impossible, ridiculous that he would even offer it
to you. The King probably is the only person who maybe gets chocolate once
in his life. Where do you source this chocolate from? Treads? Trees
whereabouts? Treads is everywhere as well? That of course? All right,
anything other than the chocolate stew mm hm, I got like a syrup egg
soup all bet Raman can't say I've ever had that combination before. How much
for a ball of that five serve our pose? Uh right, I'll be
right back, head to the table. Right. Well, I just got
swindled out of almost twenty gold for the room. Twenty because there's a huge
twenty gold. I'll sleep on the side of the road. It's too late,
I've already paid it. We need a good night sleep. Twenty gold.
I'll find a commoner outside and pay them we can afford it, will
Do you really want to sleep? I do, well, you got us
kicked out of the last place, and I really don't want to be sleeping
outside. I'm fair enough whatever. You're holding the purse anyway, If we
can afford it, then we'll be it. That's literal robbery though. Twenty
gold well yeah, and then he charged five silver for the soup, which
I didn't pay, so I thought i'd ask if you wanted it. I
can't tell if you're messing with me. Fixed you'd pay twenty gold for a
room but not five silver for a meal. Well, I didn't trust that
price either. I mean, or what was you know? The soup with
the day egg soup? Something about Albert Raman. But he's also mentioned chocolate
stew mm hmm chocolate? Was he getting chocolate from stuff? Is miserably hard
to gather from what I hear. I mean, that's what I said.
But you try talking to him, it's like talking to a snake's partly just
because the color of this stew, I am not going to try chalklate chocolate.
I was mostly concerned about his interpretation of what chocolate was. Mm hmm.
Yeah, I don't want to eat something that's uh up for interpretation.
Well, you know what, you can negotiate with him. I'm done that
will sit down petulantly, Okay, just stand up and walk over there.
Yeah, the to the to the bar. The goblin looks up at here
and says in he spen goblin goblin. No could I Could I hear any
of X's conversation with this goblin from before? Probably wouldn't be easy to do.
They were also speaking an infernal or can't remember if you speak infernal or
not? So I'm actually I'm actually do speak infernal. Okay, so I
probably couldn't catch all of it. But did I hear him speaking at at
all? Yeah? You would definitely have, you know, bits and pieces
that they were speaking in infernal. As you walk up in goblin h the
the guy at the bar, go go says, Bert, don't speak goblin.
You said an infernol? Oh no, I just say that one in
common? In common, he says, what do their round hurt? Their
man? The round? Third? Okay, just before I go digging us
into it, did we actually pay twenty gold for the room and fixes just
messing with me? Or because it sounded like you changed it paid five silver.
Okay, I'm just because right now I'm under the impression we paid twenty
gold. Yeah, yeah, and I actually made it more expensive than it
was. Just a mess. Well, because I'm about to start an argument
with them, we're probably all gonna die good. I can't wait. You
just came over that and ask for food. Yeah, when he asked what
I want, I'm gonna respond to him as saying twanty gold for rooms and
it didn't even include food. It sounds like robbery rots are gonna do about
it? Probably nothing the pass. What's on the menu that would have made
the deal? I don't care like actual chocolate, right, Choco chocolate is
super rare. I'm just wondering, do you think if chocolate a salad?
And let's shut hard. No, I don't think you would, which is
why I'm wondering. What's actually in the chocolate's doo tree bark never had it.
I'll try it how much further I'll serve our pulls? All right?
Did you have some human come in here and step on your shoes? And
now you don't like us? Ever? Zerman step on every person shoes,
our own most of all here and I'll put eid silver on the counter our
cord. You weren't drunk? Is it gonna be more silver? The pert
thing regardless us plus restoed? Sure? Why not? You have it for
two copper. I will pay up the money. He hands you a full
ball like it's not a huge ball, but it's a ball that will probably
serve your table. Works for me. I don't know why the others are
being so shy. How much for food for all four of us? Ah
three more borrowed chocolate store? Three server? Eight times the rate for me?
Huh, I'm flattered. Yeah, mhm, I've got a better idea.
What if I make five times your nightly profit for you? How's your
door? That's for man? See the dwarves over there, m I'll get
them to buy you out of stock. Those dwarves over there, the rolt
me about two hundred gold and they haven't paid up. No, they come
on over or not. I drink that girl two hundred gold suit yourself,
whether they actually owe your money or not. I wager I could make you
more money off of that then you'll get by overcharging me for this food.
Look at two hundred gold from them, not two hundred gold. No,
maybe part of it. Three drinks for life. We'll get one hundred gold
from them. I got a free drinks for life. How about a reasonable
reasonable number? Maybe I could maybe I could get fifty out of them.
I'm looking at at fifty girl. Out of time. I'll give you three
drinks for a week. I'll be right back. I'm turn and walk away
and walk over to the Did the dwarves have an open chair at their table?
Hmm? Let's see from me at the six I will also roll these
things four. There's four of them at the table. There are four chairs.
Okay, I'm gonna just walk up and pick up the chair that I
was sitting in right next of them, turn it around. It's just like
PLoP down in it at their table, like I belong there, and in
the most perfect and fluent dwarf an ever, just say, all right,
gentlemen, I've heard you luck and keep your liquor real well, and I
want to see if it's true. And I'm want to sit down and put
that bottle that I just bought on the table. They all look at you
like you're an insane person, and then they look to the smallest of the
dwarves, but also the oldest looking dwarf. They're fully gray haired. Scars
down his face that don't look like they're from swords. They look like they're
from wild animals. Each of them has on clothing that you might associate with
maybe rangers or hunters of some sort, maybe scouts are tracking that kind of
where lots of greens and browns. They each have a set of short bows
propped up against the table, but they've all got a few things on them,
nine and a couple of swords. The eldest of them turns to you
and says, hey, all right, let's see you want a drink ice
under the table, So light's four drinks to our, one each. That's
an interesting way, and I'm still keeping the conversation in dwarven entirely. That's
an interesting way of doing it. Do you think it will take all four?
If you beat me one on one? H what do you think lines
you'll think he again drink like a dwarf. They say nothing and continue to
stare at you. Drink for drinks. It that's the play. And if
anyone eyes they is still standing by the end of the knight and use fall.
What do we get how much was all of it? I'm gonna give
them the total cost of like all of the food, all of what the
guy tried to charge me for food, plus the room. It's like twenty
gold. We'll say, yeah, do any gold they and then what do
you want? Mm hmm cover the cost of the room for me and my
companions and the cost of the drinks. What do you say? If I
go down, I'll pay the drinks? Hey, your own? You go
first? What do you have? Well? This work? And I'll hold
up the bottle that I bought. They're in the center of the table.
There's a larger kind of whiskey bottle. It's there's a few drinks that probably
have been poured from it. But they point at that. Each of them
pushes forward their own smaller glasses and they raise you see the older one,
pour a drink card for each of them. You have your smaller ball.
I don't know what i'll uh. Does it look like they're offering me from
there to show use mine? They are not offering you from their Yeah,
okay, then I'll then I'll pour my own. They jersius and I will
sit there and I will go shot for shot with them for as long as
they can give me a perception check before we roll sixteen on my precise Well
you so just drank piss. The whole bar stops and looks around at you.
From over at the bar, you hear the goblin and gone line line.
All of the dwarves point at you and go, oh, you bastard,
he's fell for it. The piskey, everyone laughing pointing. The whole
place erupts in laughter at you. You film for the oldest trick in Go
Go's bar. I'm gonna turn back to the little goblin. Your piss isn't
strong enough. Just pour myself another glass. The dwarves look at you and
say, hey, here's the thing. Here's the thing. I'm not going
to get drunk off this. You get lee lads will eventually fall over,
so by all means, let's go m unless you'd like to pour me from
yours. Uh. The older one kind of cocks his head at that comment
and says, why why he's not getting drunk off of piss? They're even
alcohol in it, like it depends. I guess we'll see. Mm hmm.
I I didn't mean. I didn't mean not getting drunk based on the
fact that I can't right now. I meant like, if it's not actual
whiskey, like if they give me something that's not alcohol. Okay, Ah,
you can go now, women, we're busy. You want me to
just go, We can make you go if you'd like. Uh, I'll
stand up in dwarven and uh and and I'll I'll call them in their own
language. Miserable excuses for dwarves and walk away were miserable excuse uses for dwarfs.
Says that yeah, you heard me, dwarf turning down a drinking challenge.
Everyone back in gender would be laughing at all of you if they saw
this exchange. All scared of one human. You can't even take me fur
to one human that drinks pass and challenge us to drink off where he can
drink more pass, then we can drink whiskey. Doesn't it sound like we're
afraid of anything. Sounds like you're a mad man, one mad man or
four scared dwarves. Take your pick. You think we're scared of you,
I'll just look at their bottle. Bottle still looks pretty full to me.
So yeah, boy, I'm gonna call your tongue and shove it up your
ears, Berth, that's just dwarf. What you say, crop and dag?
Hey, well his tongue. Hey, we're gonna cut your tongue.
Do you speak their language anyone? Are they being mean? Are they just
in doors? I think few people in the bar of quieting down? Oh
I challenge I'll turn into and say in common to my table. That loud
enough everyone else can hear it. To him, say, oh I just
challenged them to a drinking game. But even with four of them, they
don't think they can take me. So we challenge you, dere we Berney,
how about that? How about we challenge you to keep your tongue and
your head? Well, what are they saying? What are you They're saying
they're going to cut out my tongue? Oh uh, Well he's not taking
up the challenge. Maybe he can fill up that bottle. Hey, you're
gonna pass yourself. You guys speak common? You No, they don't even
look at you. U will? And what challenge exactly do you have in
mind? That's the challenge, wee boy, you keep your tongue in your
head. I'll have no problem doing that. Is he starting a bar fight?
He starts a barfight. Everyone roll initiative of damn it, this is
awful. I thought I was the problem. I have no health. Yeah,
we're so Fuckedhi, go hang on, why are we in this barfight?
Because you're definitely gonna get involved. Dog, Yeah I would. Okay,
I'm going to add four dwarves somehow to this thing. Let's bring you
to this map. Mm hm. The dwarves all draw their weapons. Two
of them stand up, down their drinks, scoff at you will, and
head towards the door. You hear go go at the bar, shouting in
dwarven to our side, come on, tugle our side, Hi, ernon
not And the old man stands up and says, say, then, human,
let's see if you can keep your fucking tongue. He steps outside m
h, looking at the rest of the party. I'll be back in a
minute, or I'll be dead one of the two. I don't want to
start walking out. You don't want us to. Oh. I wasn't going
to drag you into my problems. But yes, if they're killing me,
it might be nice. A few things I've been Okay, give me a
second. Please place your character somewhere here you can see that which you can't
hold on? H somewhere like that act old day. I cannot see my
token to movie. Oh hold on, you should be able to drag it
on. Actually from your from the thing, grab your name, I can
drag h m hm hm hm, I'm sorry, grab it from from where
I'm not seeing how to do this from the left on the why you find
your artist? I'll do it, are you guys? Looks gonna be fun,
do we do? You? Guys? Look up? Well? Which
one represents the tavern of the bar? Uh? This one? Okay,
I'll just lean up against the wall. You need me let me know this
is horrible they want. Let me give them different colors for you so you
can differentiate them. The older one is the one in red, one with
a red mark on his face. As you step outside, each of the
dwarves moves into an almost a small kind of formation, and they look pretty
pretty, pretty confident, pretty like well versed in combat. I guess I
should say, and wow, on a nineteen, that's nice? Who were
messing? Will? Did you roll? It was a thirteen thirteen? I'm
also like, as I'm walking out the door, I'm gonna chug up a
postion of healing before let's get started, Okay, which are two dy four
plus two question mark? Is it one of the one of Merlin's ones or
just a normal one? I think I just have a normal one on me
at the moment. Twenty four plus two okay, okay. The the dwarves
stand in front of you. The oldest one kind of creaks his neck and
then pulls the battle axe out. The others all pull weapons out as well,
battle axes. They've all got daggers, and a few of them are
bows, but they don't seem to reach for them. They all look up
towards you, and the oldest one turns to the others and the dwarf and
says, whoever gets his tongue, drinks are on me, oh Nate,
And one of the others says, drinks are always on you, hey,
drinks are always on you. Anyway, Well, if you get his tongue,
I'll give you a bad case. And they start to move around you
in a way that makes it difficult for you to They kind of bank you
up against kind of where this door is. The orc is also here.
He steps to one side kind of grunts. This seems like it happens a
lot to him. One dwarf, two dwarf, three dwarf, four dwarf.
They're going to be there like that. They have pack tac tacks,
so incoming so many attacks okay, because they have multi attacks so they all
get the same initiative too. Yep, oh okay, I'll just dive then
two four with advantage on those, So twenty five, A twenty five,
a twenty six, and a twenty one against your ac dozzle all hit.
All right, let's calculate all this damage for you one two three with the
crit four, so that is fourteen twenty six thirty three. I will get
mauled instantly. They move around you, and Will is standing there with all
of this armor on. One dwarf kind of faints one way you see,
Will bring his shield around to deal with him. When another dwarf jumps up
on his back and hits the back of Will's head the blunt side of his
axe. Immediately, will I think squeeze stars quick question Brett. Yeah,
if I'm not sure. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to. But if
I if I'm already hit by the first three, can I shield the last
one? Yeah? I will, I will shield spell the last one to
avoid getting immediately Ko the seven. Yeah, they jump around him. They're
they're moving in a way that is you guys can watch from the street side.
They move in a way that as soon as you see Will react to
one of them, one of the other dwarves beside him uses that ability,
that kind of understanding of the of his comrade to move into a position of
weakness on Will. One of them brings the battle axe in and you see
it open up a wound on Will. Another battle axe comes in, crunching
into the side of Will's knee. You see his knee kind of turn at
a strange angle into sight of all of that armor. You get the sense
that it would hurt, maybe a grunt from Will. As another one brings
his axe straight towards Will's mouth, and that magical shield comes up, the
battle axe kind of striking with this arcane shield, and the dwarves look at
Will, and the elder says, I thought you put up more of a
fight, all the armor, no skill to wield it. But that's the
man who's sends the one who's fighting for to one. Are we done,
Will, or do you want to keep well, maybe I give up.
Well, if I say that I give up, I'm fairly certain they're going
to try and take my tongue. Tongue? Are you speaking in common or
they shout the whole time it's been in Dwarven until he shouts at you that
he does owe us a tongue. Okay, Well does it have to be
his tongue because we kind of need it, do we? I mean,
I can get you a tongue. Hey, high to be has tongue.
You can hand it over now, or we can cut it how you head,
I can get it. I can. You're telling me I can cut
out all this because you can't hold your liquor. Are you gonna do anything?
It is your time? Well, if they're gonna continue insisting on taking
my body parts, I guess I don't have much of a choice but to
try and fight them here. M hm huh. I think I'm probably gonna
end up looking at the rest of the party and saying I may end up
needing a hand with this one. I kind of yep, yeah, we
thought we needed to pass your pants figured that one out. I am going
to I'm gonna take the dodge action and then with my bonus action. I'm
going to cast mark target or just use the ability mark target on this purple
one. Okay, and probably and might turn there with the dodge action.
All right, bye, do you want to do anything? Ah, it's
pretty clear that they're not going to stop right, They're absolutely gonna at best
beat the ship out of him in the street stick. I'm going to I
will come over to this purple guy, stab him with my dagger, sneak
attack probably miss. Yeah, you appear behind this this dwarf, this is
a monk target that what does that? Doing nothing for anything for I here?
No, just would you do anything for her? That's for my own
benefit. Yeah. You appear behind this guy on a ten. You bring
the dagger in, You feel it hit this kind of leather underneath it.
You get the sense that there is maybe a chain shirt as well, and
you your dagger that just kind of does not break through his armor. And
he turns quickly to you and says, al right, lines, there's more
big on health, hey, shadow health, Like see where you got then,
bitch, maybe we can join the silence. Hey, maybe we can
join the silence if we kill one. They kind of begin to move in
a way that suggests that they've now got their eyes on you. Three your
turn. Yeah, actually, I'm gonna own who's I'm gonna disengage and get
away from him. I'll go just here, all right, fix his turn.
This might be the stupidest thing we've done in a long time. I'm
gonna run up here and using my gauntlet, I'm going to slash at the
two dwarves in my reach and cast vamprick Touch, which is a melee spell
attack against them both. Which how do I do that? Is that?
Just rolling a D twenty plus my spell attack bonus? Give me the blurb
the spell You make a melee spell attack against a creature within your reach on
a hit that target takes three sixs. So yeah, melee spell attack is
whatever your spell attack is on the sheet. Does it count your proficiency in
there for you already or not? Let me see your spell attack bonus is
a seven, so I assume. So yeah, So just roll a D
twenty plus seven. So that's on the pink one, which is fifteen and
oh twenty five on the orange one. Yeah, the the one that has
the dagger into his side is very aware of you moving around as you bring
this, you bring your hand down. Is it you're attacking with the Yeah,
I believe the grunleted hand. You see the hand scrape down the front
of his buttlery as he brings up the shield and pushes your hand away,
allowing you to swing it towards the other dwarf. And this one is the
No, it's not, it's not the old one. The old one's the
red one. Yeah. You connect with the other one though, so you
can roll three D sixth eight necrotic damage and then I take four healing from
it. Yes, you're also are you? Until the spell end? You
can make the attack again on each of your tannsents an action so this,
Oh you're attached like a witchbowlt Is that the same thing? I don't think
so. I think it's mostly just I've cast the I'm pretty touched, and
then I just make me lay attacks and I use that over and over again
as a concentration. Oh, I see it doesn't cost you another spell sly?
Is that what it is? No? Yeah, okay, yeah,
you draw energy and siphon it, and this dwarf looking at you sees this
and says, oh faster that stains. Ah do you want to do anything
else where. That came from oh you shay bucking teethlings a little witch.
I look Will in the eyes, and I really want to move away,
but I'm going to stay here so Will doesn't get ganged up on by all
four of them again, okay, Berlin, Okay, I'm going to take
a step back here so I can still see them within range. I'm also
going to use a portion of healing. What's the hit down on that?
Again? I forget you one of your ones. Yes, make sure you
keep an eye of how many of each of these you have. Yours are
great portions of great healings. So it's four D four plus four, so
that's thirteen. And then I'm going to use staph necrosis on the red dwarf.
You only have a bonus action left. Oh snap, Okay, I'm
going to push him then with telekinesis okay, which one did you say?
Sorry? The red one? Red one? Okay? Is it a strength
save here? I'll put the blurbs something you can move one strength saving throw.
Okay, let's see twelve versus your DC eight plust preferences bonus plus the
ability modifier of the score increased by this feat he gets pushed. Yes,
and he gets pushed five feet away from you this way, well, I
guess we would be here actually. Okay. In your turn, there,
the dwarves start to move in a different function. You can see that the
two that were focusing on fix and fire turn more towards You've fixed. The
other two concentrate once again on will the purple and Orange ones will attack you
first? Well, let's go one by one because this could be interesting.
Fix Purple is going to attack you with the battle ax with pack tactics and
multi attack. That is a natural twenty and a nineteen against your Acay.
Yeah, that brews it. Sixteen seventeen slashing twenty three slashing damage in total.
Would I be able to use a reaction in between the hits like after
the first hit? Yes, okay, I cast tylers rebuke. Okay,
hang on, let me just remind myself average damage. That does think it's
three D turn, but it's not on my sheet for some reason. Oh
wait, they make a save. Yeah, sorry, I'm on a laptop
today. Deck save please a deck save from this dwarf and a five I
guessing is a fail. Twenty five fire damage Yes, twenty five fire damage.
This dwarf ignites as soon as you feel the you feel the bite of
a battle ags hit you, you feel the bush of warm blood, and
then your hellish rebute goes off in front of you, and next to you
will there is an for flame. As the Hellish rebute goes off, the
dwarf screaming, and then another axe. I think that's when the second one
hits you, and then I go down and yes, then you see you
see this, This axe hit Fix in the back, and Fix collapses to
the ground, and that leaves these three move back into position, and there's
going to be three more sets of attacks on you at Can I not disreemage?
Wait? Three of them? Yes? Didn't two of them just the
tactics, so it would only be two, right unmost one? No?
No, no, sorry, yeah, the the they have malto attacks,
so only the purple one is as struck. I think I just misspoke when
I was talking about them doing the gotcha? Can I as the as they're
coming towards me? Can I go hold on like trying to do a time
out push and say, oh, hold on, I didn't want them to
get dragged into this. You can say that. Yeah, I assume it
does nothing. It does nothing. There's a bunch of battle axes swinging wildly
towards you. They do not have advantage on these, So let's see where
we are. So an eighteen twenty natural twenty six and eleven and another natural
twenty six. Okay, it doesn't matter what I do or roll there.
Yea, I'm done. Okay, let's see what they do damage wise,
just in case that'll be you can't count fourteen twenty one twenty nine? Is
that right? Slashing damage to you? A bunch of them jarm Paul over
will beating at him. You see wounds opening up on him as they just
kind of pile in with these axes kicking at him. You see him go
down underneath a bunch of these dwarves and from this chaos, one of them
rushes towards where you are. Fire because I still got another one to attack
with, and he's gonna swing at you. He doesn't have advantage because of
the pack tactics. So it's just, oh, he has a reckless attack.
You know what, he does have an advantage. This is a reckless
attack. He comes flying at you just kind of open you can see all
of these ways that you could get in and attack him. But he's rushing
at you first. The battleck swinging wildly at you. Two advantage shots a
natural twenty six and a twenty four against your ace ike bron. Okay,
there'll be eleven twenty damage to you. One a battle Ax just runs across
fires Buire's body, and fire folds down as well. They kind of look
around at each other and they go, all right, look, doesn't Norm
come here, little Norm? Oh? Whit? Wait? Wait wait wait
wait wait wait wait wait wait Merlin. Merlin holds out his right hand to
try to get them to stop in their their path. Okay, all right,
Look, as much as you probably want to take me down to I,
I can't say I'm off the living anymore. I'm dead. Oh you're
dead? All right? No, I mean I'm quite literally dead. You
know. That's a nice stuff. You give us that stuff, we'll let
you go. Oh no, no, no, no, no, this
stuff stays with me. It's the deal. It sounds like you don't like
doing deals. I mean, yeah, he did, see he wants today
you made the deal you made with with my friend. Okay, you want
his tongue Okay, I can get you his tongue. I can get his
tongue. No deal, No, I can get his tongue for you.
I can get it. I know I'm gonna call look the stuff faith,
Please ask nicely. Okay. So Merlin has two staffs. He's got his
own and then he's got the staff on the crosis. He's he's going to
give his own, but he'll cast what was it, minor Yeah, minor
illusion, and uh make it seem he's giving the staff necrosis to the doors.
Okay, um, yeah, how do you see through a minor illusion?
Is it an int check? Believe minor illusion? You'll be pleased to
know they don't have a higher score. Uh. The crew uses action to
him examine the sound or the image. They can determine this illusion. I
don't know if they're going to do that. Yeah, you walk over to
them and you hand them so you're handing them your old staff, but it
looks like the other one. Yes, But Merlin also he looks very reluctant
in doing so because this this staff is like a part of him. But
he knows he has to do this to save his friends. So come on
over here, then, come on right, right, right. He He
pulls the staff from his back and with two hands hands it to them.
I thank you very much, take care of this, oh will I'll have
the other one too. Excuse me, you've got two of them, look,
yeah, and you want them both? Four of us two stars take
four if you go forward, But you only got two. It's only fair,
isn't it. Oh sure that that is completely fairy. Sure. Merlin
also then pulls the stuff and a crossis from his back. Hey, thank
you very much. Right, run along, I am staying put here with
my friends. You are the ones who will be taking your leave now.
I've given you what you've wanted. You're right. Will give me a death
saving throw fourteen. Fire, give me a death saving throw of sixteen.
And fixed give me a death saving throw of fourteen as well. These dwarves,
I'm going to imagine that you're over here, they all turn on you
like crazy and begin to attack you as well. Merlin. Let's see here
if the first one can do anything to you on a twenty five and a
twenty four versus your ac I'm going to guess they both hit twenty one damage.
Yes, you say, I think it'll be you who will be leaving
now? And then there's just a crunch as you feel the back of your
head struck, and give me a death saving throw. Oh boy, okay,
here goes nothing. Fifteen. So there is a bunch of horrible muffled
sounds as these dwarves kick a couple of you while you down. There is
the sound of dwarves muttering to one another, and you can hear bags being
untied, pockets being rifled through, and eventually you hear the sound of a
body being dragged away. Will roll me a D sixty forty one minutes later
there is will you feel yourself returning to consciousness? There is a large hand
which is tapping on the front of your face. You your face feels all
swollen, your your your body feels bruised. You can feel that you are
you have open wounds on you. You're wet, drenched through as if you've
been laying in the rain for some time, and the orc is standing above
you. You recognize the street to be the same kind of area you were
in, but you've been kind of pushed up against the side of where the
opening of the tavern is. And the Orc says, working wicked, I
did what you said. I went outside first. You swo open your mouth.
Mm hmm. W work, Merlin. You are slapped awake as well,
same kind of situation. You feel the back of your head is killing
you. You've got a few wounds on you from before, already drenched through.
And then fix your next as you feel a hand kind of slapping you
on the side of the face, working, working, I'm awake. Seven
post what you hurd for rooms, now, appreciate it. You've got him
now. All of you are missing a lot of stuff, and we're going
to work out exactly what. But basically, everything of use and all of
your weapons are gone. You still have your armor and the gauntlet, but
most of your things and all of your gold and silver and copper are gone.
And fire is also gone. And that's where we're going to go to
our break this evening. Thank you so much for tuning in. We'll be
back shortly. We started a little late. I know we're going to break
a little early, but still going to break at the same time because I've
got a lot of things to prepare for when we return. Thanks so much
for watching. We'll be back after a few minutes and we'll see what going
on fire? You wake up. No one's slapping your face awake or anything,
but you are. You come to You feel brand new, You're full
hp Your wounds that you just took are sutured, and you're kind of you're
definitely probably still feeling sore, but you get the sense that through some means,
you've been healed. Give me a perception check. You still have all
of your stuff. There is a cold stone floor under you, and there's
no more sounds of the rain or the street or anything. You get the
immediate sense that you are underground, that you're on a basement level of some
kind. As your eyes kind of come to a very very very dark room
and your dark vision begins to adjust, you start to pick up your surroundings.
You see above you an open tower. It seems to run up maybe
only two or three stories, and you are kind of dead in the middle
of this tower. There is a shuffling to one side of you, and
then you hear some shuffling in the movements of several people around you, and
you suddenly understand and your eyes begin to focus on the room. You are
at the bottom of this tower and the level above you. You suddenly recognize
two faces. Two shadow elves are looking down at you, dark hair,
leaning on a railing, looking down, and you move your head to one
side, and you realize that there is another shadow elf looking down at you.
Footsteps beside you very quietly, and the drawing of a sword as another
shadow elf pulls a sword out from a scabbard. Every shadow elf in here
is a woman, and the one pulling a sword out right next to you
doesn't say a damn thing to you. You're in a sort of underground fighting
ring, is what it feels like. All of your weapons are right next
to you, and I'm gonna need initiative, please fuck ah. This silence
warrior is moving towards you in a way that you understand. This is absolutely
have been captured and placed into a fighting pit of some kind. Shadow elves
around you, do you? I don't think recognize any of their faces as
anybody that you know or have wronged, or anything like that. But this
is not an unfamiliar thing. Combat rights and militant and violent approaches to things,
tactical feats and general dick measuring is very much a shadow well way of
life. And you stand to your feet. I presume which I will give
you for free. And what do you do is your turn? Okay?
How high up is this level? There are steps leading up to the upper
level. The ground underfoot is you can see like bloodstains, old, poorly
cleaned. There are cracks in the stone. There's a few barrels and crates
down here. Parts of the wall have been broken, as if something much
bigger had thrown something else into the wall and left an almost imprint in the
wall. The uh. There are four sets of stairs that lead up probably
only about ten feet up above you. Okay, question about misty steps?
Can I misty step up ten feet? Like if I was? Yeah?
Okay, So then what I'm gonna do is I'm going to run back here
behind this box. That's all my movement. I'm gonna take a shot at
this guy, lady, I mean silence warrior, sharpshooter shot pink the fuck
yeah, I do. It makes up all of my crents. At twenty
three natural twenty three is seventeen plus two. You kind of wobble to your
feet, stand up, and then move towards the back of this room,
placing yourself down beside these boxes. You draw an arrow and fire it.
It is a perfect shot. No response from any of the people that are
looking down and watching you. But you see the warrior in front of you.
She is It's kind of hard to, I think, tell exactly how
old she is. You can tell that she is in fantastic shape, but
you get the sense that she is older than you by a decent amount.
This arrow flies quickly, perfectly towards the center of her chest. She brings
up her sword as if to kind of bring it between herself and the arrow,
and then is hit. There is an as she moves backwards, the
arrow sitting dead center of her chest. If not for the thick leathers she
was wearing, would have absolutely been a kill shot. She takes the nineteen
damage there. You're doing anything else, No, I'll just lock eyes with
her, so okay. She shoots a look up and to the to your
right, and by far the oldest looking of the faces that appearing down at
you, another stone looking shadow elf wearing very thick looking kind of crimson dark
dark red robes is looking at you. But as the other drowl looks up
to her, she waves a hand towards her, and you see the drought
begin to take a few steps towards you. She begins to mumble underneath her
breath in Elvish. You can hear that she's incanting. She swings her sword
around a few times while she begins to incant. And let's see here,
give me a constitution saving throne. Oh just enough, you begin to rise
up off the ground. She closes her hands and begins to lift a fist
upwards and in front of you. You feel your body begin to levitate as
she casts this spell on you. It's as if she's about to pick you
up off the ground. You shake off the spell, able to remain steadfast,
and you see the other drought Wow, smirk a little bit as she
dismisses the spell and takes a step at the center of this at the center
of this this ring. She continues to spin the sword around, but this
time, as you begin to take your move, she she takes a stance
as if she's a little more ready, or at least she this time isn't
kind of being very blase about it. And it is your turn. M
okay, hmm, I would like to misty step behind huh m hmm.
And then if I have two daggers how does this work, Brad? Can
I do main hand attack as an action and then bonus action other dagger or
the second dagger. You don't add your damage bonus to I think on off
hand, okay, I need to add that to me sheet as an actual
thing, though you don't add the ability to modify it to the damage.
So uh, A sixteen and a twenty seven, So we take the plus
five off of that seven, so that to two. The first dagger comes
in, you, you vanish from where you are. Do you appear next
to just behind where this other shadow wealth is you. We see her eyes
kind of look backwards as you bring a dagger in. She brings a hand
down to block your arm before you manage to get the other dagger pushed up.
And you feel the dagger bite through those leathers this time, and you
definitely get the sense that you you actually draw some blood under there, but
these leathers are very thick, and you deal to piercing damage to her as
the first attack misses. But you get this dagger in. I don't do
anything else. I think that's probably it. I guess you could just gonna
lean in and say, well made leathers doesn't say anything. She spins on
you and you recognize the sword that she's wilding. It is a straight,
thin blade, so thin the metal that it is like a sheet of paper.
But you know that these are this metalgy is extremely strong. This is
a blade made in the Irish tree and usually enchanted in a way that deals
form of extra damage. This Iris blade is going to swing at you on
a twenty one versus your ac She brings the thing across your stomach five piercing
damage and nine poison damage. Your uncanny dodge allows you to use your reaction
to half the damage taken against you, so it will be three piercing and
five poison. No round down, I'm done, it'd be two piercing and
four poison. Yeah. This thing stings when it cuts across your stomach,
and you are pretty sure that you understand that this thing is dealing poisonous damage
to you. Hmm, yeah, I think it's your turn. I'll just
smile and say I need to get one of those. I'm sure you might
have a few lying around, and then I will. I want to quickly
stay in her range and just try to get behind her, just quickly joop
and then two daggers again fourteen and a twenty, same thing, except this
time I think that you move around her. She brings her blade up to
parry your dagger. This time there is a kind of clink of swords and
then this other dagger. You're just too quick with the offhand. But you
don't have the strength or the quite the ambi dextrous skill that you hope for.
Bring this thing in. She moves out of the way of it,
allowing you to just scrape along one of her thighs. With this thing.
You deal only the one damage with it. This time. The two of
you are kind of evenly matched. I think the two of you are kind
of moving around each other, very fluidly, bringing swords in daggers. You're
moving one way, they react another, they react one way, you move
to counter it. The two of you kind of crossing swords and daggers a
lot. It is your turn. I so I did my I'll just use
my movement. M Oh, I can't disengage because I use my bonus action
for the other dagger. Huh, this is the top of the round.
Oh yes, yes, no, yeah you did, yeah, I thought
you remember. Ye, that's okay, then I don't think there's anything I
can do, so I will just smirk. Okay, that's my true mm
hmm. I think she's that dumb to do that to you. Another strike
comes in a twenty against your ac yep, that heads ten. Did I
already use no reaction? You did not? So this will be five piercing
and three poison damage. She draws a blade across your stomach. Again,
the two of you kind of moving in a way that you're you're almost perfectly
even matched. What is what is your reaction to it? Mm hmmm.
I'll just say okay, okay, and I'll put my daggers away and get
out my rape here, and I want to spin. I do a little
fancy spin move and I miss. Yeah, you're parried that you bring out
your sword. They bring theirs up, and the two of you do one
of those like both bring the swords up together, both of you with these
kind of rapiers, these thin blades, but still doing a cross of swords.
When from above you, from behind you, you hear enough the warrior
in front of you drops the sword and falls to one knee, head down
in front of you. If you wanted, you could absolutely attack them for
free. No, but I do want to pick up their sword just look
at it. Yeah, you do so from up and a of where you
are, The older woman says, a disappointing display from me. Yes,
m hmm, yeah, it was kind of I was just having fun.
The older looking drow in the dark red robe moves towards the stairs and says,
come up. I assume you are here for us. Hmm. I
don't remember coming here. Is that normal in the city? H m hm?
Did you come here to meet with us? Actually? No, unrelated
visit business. Hmmm. You could say that what business. Oh, it's
a long and complicated story that I do not have the patience to tell.
H understandable paid work or not? That's where the details get a little uh
you know, I'm sure, yes, m we can get work paid and
experience. We can get you work one of your caliber. Mm hmmm,
good work, paid work. Do you work for yourselves or are you hired
out from home? Hm? We are the silence. We are mercenaries exiled
from the tree, each of us m hm, and you same. What
is your name? I am Nezola? Fire all abouts? She cocks I
head a little bit. You can see underneath the robe that she has very
long ears and short cropped black hair. She pulls from the robe a leaf,
a rolled leaf, and offers it to you, leaf of the sand.
M I'm gonna reach up under my wig and pull out a strand of
white hair. Yes, we saw you when you first entered. Mm hmm.
I think this is a better look understandable. You are hunted by hours.
Mm. Yeah, you could say that hunted makes me feel like an
animal, like a wild animal. We can keep you safe. How much
do the jobs pay? One hundred gold per day per member, flat rate.
Hmm. We do not engage in military disputes, So what do you
do anything else? Why are you called the silence? There is a ritual,
a right you must take. We are all hunted. You will not
be able to speak unless you take my position at the head of the organization.
So none of these, none of them will speak to me, None
of them can speak. Knock knock, I say to one of them.
They're kind of all looking at you. A couple of them on. A
couple of them look relaxed. There are tables. There are a few of
them sitting in bean bags, relaxed. There are two areas which look like
provisions areas with storage. One of them is filled with fresh fruit and drinks.
The other one seems to have all sorts of arcane, wears, trinkets,
dolls, little books, and small boxes. You can see there's another
two stories above you as well. Why don't you speak? But we are
hunted if they cannot speak, and then they cannot tell them where we are.
You took kind of a big risk. H a big risk. Well,
now I know where you are? Oh do you then? Where are
you? Well? A tower, many towers in the land. Hm.
So this isn't a situation where if I turn down your offer, I'll be
silenced. No, if you take the offer, you will take the right.
You can join us. We will make sure that you are safe and
cared for. If you do not wish to, we will let you free.
I just hold up the sword. I'm guessing these are members only would
you like one? I wouldn't mind one very well. That can be arranged
only if I agree. HH, you may have one. We assumed you
were here to join us, that you had nowhere else to go, as
we all did, that you had heard of us from someone. We had
to be sure we brought you in and we have to test your skills.
You've done a pretty good job at keeping it quiet, open intended. I
only heard of you in passing. How did I do like compared to most
people? You did okay? One to ten five? Shit, you can
be trained, m you know any of the basics of our ways. A
few tricks are predictable for us, or we all trained the same until we
came here. I appreciate the offer. Uh. The thing is, I
spent way too long not being able to say whatever I wanted, so you
might understand why your offer is it leaves, uh, leaves a lot to
be desired. Yes, we do it for our protection. Mm hmmm,
I don't really want to be protected. Then you are free to leave.
But were it not for us, the Reavers would have had you. Why
did you take issue with them? Well? What did you call them?
Revers? Are they well known? Hm? Amateurs? Hmm. I don't
think I really took issue with them. Well they left you for dead,
they were about to take your things. Yeah, I'm traveling with a group.
I think uh one of them could uh learn a thing or two about
being silent. Indeed, and I think after I leave here, and continue
my journey. That's something that I'll work on with them very well. Uh
they robbed your friends. Hm. They deserved it, I mean willed it
at least. M. Well, from what I understand, they're based out
of Dandelio one hundred gold pieces. I could arrange to have them all return
your things. Hmm. The thing is I don't have any gold. The
second thing is I kind of want to do it myself. Yes, at
least one of those things I knew. Mm hmm. Well take the sword,
thank you. Don't talk to anyone back home, do you never?
Okay? Nobody here cutes up with what goes on there. We try,
but as as hard to breach the tree is the name uh grim vain ring
a bell to any of you? M. Most of the people in here
do not respond to you. Over By the area where I said there were
the trinkets in the boxes and books and things, the younger looking elf that
is standing there pricks her ears up. She begins to move towards where you
are all where you two are standing, and she holds up her hand and
then begins to communicate through a set of hand gestures. On one hand only
the drow that is in front of you. The zura says, this one
recognize this name? Does he live? Another set of hand gestures. She
says, they trained together a very long time ago, but he was lost
in the mist. Well she knows as much as I do. One is
in the mist and they are as good as dead. Well you'd think that,
but I'm alive that you claim to have been inside mm hm, and
you live to tell the tale and are not mad, only a little ow
m. Like I said, it's a complicated and long story. But do
you know a guinness, Yes, the trade on. Yeah, you talked
to him, ask him about the beast beast very well, and he's not
gonna mention me. Ah, just I was there. M. Sometimes that's
a good thing. Infamy can be dangerous. Yeah, that's fair. It's
a good point. Well, if you don't mind, we shall have to
place something over your eyes, okay, they the uh. The woman gestures
to one of the other elves, who moves towards you with an execution as
a hood and holds it over your head. She says, take a deep
breath. There is a sickly sweet smell that you inhale, and you suddenly
feel very dizzy. She says, this is simply to make sure that you
don't quite know how far we are and how many lefts rights we take.
Goodbye. I find this feeling you are always welcome back. Come to the
city, we'll find you. Don't forget about me, the one who claims
to have traveled into the mist? How could I forget? You are led
away and we're going to go back into town. The other three. You
find yourselves in a room in the back of a tavern when you were led
back through by the by the Orc. A few people through you, some
looks, a few people kind of laugh or under their breath at you.
Someone calls you piss drinker will and and then the Orc takes you to a
room. The whole time this is happening, Go Go is shouting across the
bar. Come ons, that was last Carl, two carls Ago, come
on, got out a lazo bam. People that are kind of leaving As
you're lead back in and the Orc takes you to a room. The door
swings open, no lock, It's just it doesn't even have a handle.
It just pushes and swings back and forth, open, but sits in the
door way correctly. At least. There are a few rooms at the back
of this place, and they all look to be pretty similar. You step
into it and it resembles more of a barn than an inn room. There's
a single table in the center with two chairs, kind of broken ramshackle things,
the type of thing that we're probably out in the bar before, but
now sit in this room. There's an unlicked candle in the center the center
of the table, and there is literally just piles of hay and straw around
the room. There is a small window at the back. Merlin could probably
fit through it if you wanted to open it, but it's not big enough
I don't think for anyone else to fit through if you want to get out.
But also sneaking in the night. Basically, that's it. You barely
pay for roof and four walls, and that's that's what you are. That's
what you're given. The orc says you leave in morning. First thing.
Wildly, I have no trouble there. Wait, where's the other elf?
She was with us? Taken taken by who? The health people? O
kind? Health her kind? M hm? Do we know if she's safe?
Well? They stop weavers from taking things. Where would we find them.
M Oh good, that does sound like fire's people. All right?
Mm hmmm, you warm food. You don't take in any position to say
no, I will have to pass out of work. Thank you. He
turns around and the door kind of swings and then sits closed, leaving you
three in there. I immediately take Melon by the arm and lead him to
one of the corners, my back to Will. Oh, let's get you
looked at. Are you feeling okay? I mean, for the most part,
there's anything I can do to help. I'm more concerned about you and
Will. I mean, I guess I'm relieved to know that that firearm.
Well, I suppose she's in good hands. How are you feeling? More
importantly, I'm I'm already dead. Yeah, right, But that is what
concerns me because I feel like it not to be cross about it, but
it might be easy if you to lose parts, you know. I'm just
kind of like checking well, and I have a checking his call his fingers
like molting. Yeah. No, I feel like I would eventually start to
lose loose some limbs. Probably Oh this, oh, my pinky finger feels
a little bit loose. Now I better leave that alone. Okay, well
we'll keep an eye on that. I'm fine. I didn't tell you earlier,
but Fire was hit by a poisoned dot. I think it was poison.
I don't know. Oh, I think the silence have her and these
are the same elves that have her. Well, then how do we know
she's safe? She That is what I'm concerned about. She could be in
danger. But the thing we can do about it right now? Yeah?
Now, the the orc did mention they would they would find us, so
I would presume that they would return her to us. If not, I
would stop it nothing to try and find her. Yeah, right, Uh.
The last thing we needed tonight was to all be beaten to an inch
of our lives and lose file. I'm with you there. But well,
these things happened sometimes, you know, Will Mellan do some bumps on the
Do these things happen sometimes? Okay, maybe you know some things were exchanged.
I couldn't quite understand their conversations, but well it probably could have gone
better. No, but we know Will well enough to know when he's goading
somebody into a fight. I just thought you know he wanted it. Well,
I drink with these Yeah, these folk. But well, but we
know how that all went. Will went to the bar to get some food
and ended up starting to fight with a bunch of dwarves. I sort I
turned to Will, What is it if you if you've got a death wish?
Is that what you're doing here? Huh? No, I'm making a
bed? What are you doing? Right? Of course, let's pretend none
of this has happened, then, shall we? Oh, there's no point
pretending that it did. It didn't happen. We have to go try and
find fire, but we're not in any condition to do so right now.
Are you too done? Over there? Yes? Done a moment, we
are, Yeah, but yes, no, I don't think we are in
any state right now to go and try and find fire ourselves. Again,
like the Orcs said, they would find us. Oh, if I had
any idea, I had any idea what direction she was taken, I would
go looking for her right now. Well, the trail goes cold. But
I would too about starting fights in here, any very violent stupid fight starting.
No, they're gone, Thank the gods, welcome back. Hi,
Fire, Are you okay? They didn't do it? You look so?
Wow? Why do you look good? You look good? Merlin. You
guys look great, I will have much. Can we not say that?
Can we not say dead? Well, it's just es. Although I did
tell the dwarves that, well, I am not of the living. I
was hoping you would kind of scare them off. How'd that go? It
didn't go well. They they all beat me up. Okay, well I'm
gonna kill them. I don't think they have the type to scare easy.
So I made some friends. You know, the silence y'all heard of.
I give you a side glance, remember that, Yeah, I should.
Okay, So there was a dart in my ass and it so it's a
long, convoluted story. I woke up surrounded by a bunch of my kind,
if you will, And then I fought this woman and they were like,
good job, and they tried to recruit me. And but it turns
out to if you say yes, then you have to like take this vow
and you're silent. And I just didn't want to didn't want to do that
right now, LUs, we're kind of busy, okay, oh, okay,
okay, this was right? First of all, you being silent?
No? And secondly, was this all in the span of the last hour
and a half. It was in the span of from when I got knocked
out by your friends to now what time is it right now? I have
no idea. There's no daylight yet. So oh but I got this and
I'm gonna pull out. Oh oh, isn't that cool. It's like at
least one of us has weapons. Oh yeah, so you guys got all
your stuff taken. This is I learned. Well, I was with my
new friends. Uh they said, for yeah, I kind of am.
It's nice. I haven't really met anyone from home that also doesn't like home,
so it's pretty cool. But anyway, they were like, your friend
is robbed. They all don't have any of their shiit anymore. And I
was like, yeah, that sucks. And they said, okay, for
one hundred gold pieces, we can get all your stuff back. And I
was like, well, I'd rather get it myself and these fools and they
were like, well they're in Dandelo if you want to go do it.
So the Reavers, that's what they're called, right, we'll just add that
to the list, then, shall we do? Even they liked they blindfolded
me so I couldn't. They gave me this stuff. It smelled really weird,
and I it was weird, but they just didn't want me to remember
where the place was, so so they put a hood over your eyes,
took you to a hidden layer, gave you stuff, and then let you
go. Yeah, I know. And I even said like, don't you
have to kill me now, basically because I know where your secret layer is,
and she was like, no, We'll just put a thing on your
eyes and make you smell this weird stuff. This really does sound like a
chapter out of some sort of I don't know, I know. Isn't it
so cool? I'm wonderful trained with people that I knew back home. I
won't need this anymore. By the way, if you want it and I'm
gonna pull out my rape here, I will happily borrow it until I retrieve
mine. Okay, Yeah, they were really cool though. Well at least
one of us has had a fine evening. Yeah, well, I didn't
pick a fight with a bunch of strange nor did I. I challenged them
to a drinking contest and they threatened to cut out my tongue. Yeah,
yeah, did did you drink piss? I kind of remember? Am I
crazy? I told them that even if it was piss. I would still
see through the contest to the end of it, and they didn't like it
very much. Is that like you're saying? No, I just figured,
since we're getting fleeced for all of our gold paying for this jumpster, maybe
I could win some of it back. I'll have for one hundred gold,
my buddies will do it. Well, I think that might be slightly out
of our price range. Now, yeah, verse, though I need you
know, who's to say? Dennis might not be able to help us out
a little bit. I mean, we have saved his life. Maybe you
know somehow I doubt he'd be willing to part with that much gold. But
you did say they're based in Angelo, yes, m which is where we
are heading. Yeah, so quite likely we'll see them again and then we
confide them with none of our weapons. Well, you and he do not
need weapons for starters. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen you
use one, so I'm not sure why you anyway, No, I definitely,
I guess I'll just take them on on my own then shallow and yeah,
it doesn't we really need his staff to cast anything. I can't cast
anything. Yeah, yeah, really never seen your cost without Yeah. I
mean, you're the expert on magic, you tell me. Okay, I
want to walk into a corner and begin re summoning Vito. Can we just
get you any old staff for the moment? Stick the staff chooses the wizard.
It's not anything to do with just picking some twig. No. Yeah,
I feel like I've heard that before. I feel like a part of
me is missing. Are you a killing Can you double check all his fingers
please? Oh? I'm fine. No, I just mentioned to fix that.
Well, I mean, I guess it's just part of the process,
you know, when when you're dead, you start to decay. My my
pinky is starting to feel a little loose. I'll just let it. I'll
let it fall naturally. No, don't, don't. Oh you'll kiss it.
Okay, Oh, thank you. I hope it stays a little longer
before I have to part with it or eat it. What does that smell?
Is that somebody cooking? Or have your eggs? Mm hmmm? The
ork walks in and then just a hard boiled egg to each of you.
Thank you, you too. You guys ordered eggs? What do you we're
sharing a room. Hard boiled eggs are delicious? You can have mine.
I I don't nope, I'm okay, okay. I was hoping maybe I
would eat one of one of Wal's new friends, but I can get the
chance. Yeah, well, I don't think we wanted to escalate it to
murder. I'm found in a number of barroom brawls. Getting beat up is
one thing. Getting some stuff taken, had that happened before, But leaving
them dead in the streets. That's going to result in the town guard chasing
us to the ends of the earth. And I'd rather not have that.
Hmm. You do make your We'll say, though, they're very different than
the dwarves up in Den Door, that's for sure. Those guys wouldn't have
turned down a chance for a drinking game for any reason. These guys just
seemed more keen on robbing us. Yeah, I wish you would have been
translating. There was a while where I thought that you guys were having a
great time. I thought, you know, I thought I thought we were
too. You know, Oh, do you not speak dwarves? Are you
talking to Mia Mulin? You? Oh? I do speak to warversh compared
to Dundor three times. I lived there actually for three months while I was
studying, I've been thrown out of nearly every bar in the city. Granted
I didn't start those browls. That was Brendan doing that, But I don't
know. Very very disappointing. I suppose, Well, at least we have
we have a name, and we know where they are. Reavers, give
me a history check A three. No, they're probably just a mercenary group.
There's there's a bunch of them, but obviously not one of any great
fame that you've heard of them. H not familiar. Well, we're going
to be Well, all I know is this is going to delay our meeting
with Arias at course point. Oh we can't even tell him, No,
we can, Does it really? Is it really going to delay us?
Oh? Yeah, I would, I would imagine. So are we sure
they left town already? I doubt they would flee town in the middle of
the night, hmmm, I mean that would be the perfect time to leave,
wouldn't we be doing that? Well? I imagine they wanted it was
dark and raining out. I don't think they'd want to travel in those conditions.
They'll probably spend the night here somewhere and then leave town in the morning.
If they're passing through. They might be based here. I don't know.
Well, if there are a bunch of thieves, I will I would
reckon you know, hey, I'd get the heck out of here. Let's
just meet there. They weren't thieves. Can tell you that much Brigands spend
its. A mercenari is something of that sort. They were more adamant about
your tongue at first, and then I think they caught a glimpse of well
Aurrah belongings. Yeah, I wouldn't take them for thieves. Now. They
didn't take the one thing I have on me that's worth the most when they
left, how long they did not? Regardless, though, this is the
situation we're in and we will deal with it. I'm very confused why they
would leave this on me. This golden necklace is by far the most valuable
thing that I own, and they didn't take it. Maybe they didn't see
it. Perhaps I did think it prudent to keep it underneath my arm or
rather than display it while we're in this place. But surprise, they wouldn't
have found it. Regardless. He didn't seem too smart. Hmm, they
didn't seem too smart. No, it's just it's the second time this has
happened at a refuge. Hmm. When I came to there, I was
wearing it as well, and I had been robbed of everything I had back
then as well. It's been three weeks and again I woke up with this.
Seems like quite a strong coincidence that twice I would be robbed in twice,
my most valuable possession left behind. Starting to wonder if maybe they can't
take it. Mm hmm, let me try m hmm, perhaps later when
you least expect it. I'm gonna pocket that thing, all right. Let's
the card wounds. Then get the road in the morning and they can see
if these guys are still around. Yes, hey, so I need some
rolls caddle Merlin. Okay, yeah, you guys fell down in the high
and create a best of bed as you can. It's still better than sleeping
on the road as you are, on the back of a cart or something,
as you've been doing, but not as good as the barracks that you
had at j Res Fire roll me a m First of all, actually,
are you trying to steal this thing off of his neck in the night?
How did you know? How did you know? Roll me as slight of
hand. Check Will, what's your passive perception? My passive perception is twelve.
There's a point. There's just probably a point in the night where where
fire you go to sneak this thing off of his neck, and then you
realize that Will is completely awake. Will probably just says I'm still awake and
grabs your hand and pushes it away. Lady night. I was just say
I'm good night, So pay him on the chest and go back. And
then I would I will need you to make me a wisdom saving throw please?
Oh thanks? Oh okay, second wisdom saving throw from fix twenty two
and a third wisdom saving throw from Merlin. You don't need to make one,
Will, He all makes scary, though, isn't it. I feel
left rolling one you would have got at seventeen if you'd needed to make one,
And then I guess just felt like just roll me a D twenty a
seven No information of those, which is always really fun as a DM but
terrifying as a player. The Yeah, the evening passes for the most part.
You hear the bar quiet and down. It does seem like a few
people do remain behind. Go go and a few of the patrons of the
bar seem to just stay awake, drinking and talking through the night in multiple
different languages. At points they're speaking in Elvish, some points they speak in
Orcish. You can hear the voice of the big Orc. He's clearly in
there as well. Those of you that do pick up bits and pieces can
just hit it. They're just having casual conversations. At one point they do
discuss the fight that happened with the Orc, explaining that there was a bit
of a fight. You guys looked like you were already beaten up before you
got into it, and picking a fight with the Reavers is not a great
idea on any given day. They kind of have that kind of a conversation,
but for the most part, it just seems like people having conversations.
One of the people is that remains behind is that Tobacsi, the kind of
cat man wearing a little more than a velvet robe that just sits loosely tied
around his waist. And there's a lot of talk of something that you were
offered fire, which was called leaf of the Sand, which is a thing
that you all probably maybe would know about. It's helped to you if you
don't want to know about it. I guess it's a tobacco with a sweet
scent that gives a small feeling of joy, but the people people don't like
it. When if you, if you, you wouldn't walk into like a
a Nobles meeting smeak smoking that stuff. For the most part, you find
that people kind of sell and deal it on the side. So the Tobacsi
reveals himself through just conversation to be some sort of drug dealer essentially, who
seems to live at the bar with Go Go and the Orc and a couple
of other people just seem to be having conversations. Eventually it dies down.
The Orc locks all the doors and they each go to separate rooms and places
in the bar, and you guys are able to sleep through the night,
nobody creeping in, nothing happening, and then I think you probably hear the
sounds of the town in the morning begin to pick up as people wake up.
The tavern itself is on that main square that you came into, so
there's just there's a lot of things happening probably throughout the night. You also
get the every now and then the sounds of that massive gate opening and allowing
people in. Will you probably recognize march of some troops coming back and forth
or going out on varying patrols, changing of the guard and things like that,
because you're located very near that front gate. And then once the morning
rolls around, people start to open those stalls and they're opening their shops and
people are moving around. Depending on how early you guys end up waking up,
and I'm assuming you're going for a proper long rest here, so I
think at least one of you needs a full eight hours it's probably going to
be quite late morning really before you all want to rise. You guys all
got beaten up last night, and while fire was healed in some way,
the rest of you is still kind of battered up. Even though you can
be at full HP you get all of your spells back and all of your
abilities, we can assume that you're still kind of beaten up and a little
swollen in places and not looking or feeling ten out of ten, even though
mechanically or you're back to fall. So it's probably something like ten or eleven
a m before you guys want to be leaving. There is a rap at
the door. Eventually, a huge fist, and then the orc pushing the
door open. You're still here. You're supposed to be gone, right,
we were just leaving. You want breakfast? Hmm, breakfast? See breakfast,
breakfast? Breakfast, breakfast? What do you want? That's that's a
yes. M you want what? Chicken? Raw chicken? Roa chicken,
raw chicken? Okay. He turns around and walks out, Okay, all
right, well sorry, Oh no, I maybe I should have asked it.
Oh no, you can ground breakfast if we want to, I can
grab it to go. No, you enjoy your raw chicken. I hope
it's still alive. I hope he didn't think that. You meant we all
wanted it raw? I think oh he did. I'm pretty sure that's what
he did. Think for chicken. With four dead chickens, holding them by
the legs, perfect, he places them on the table in the middle and
says one sofa. Oh, but S bought this one for sure, Thank
you, fire. I'll pay you back. Oh you don't have to pay
me back. You don't have to do it's fun. I'll buy you.
I'll buy you a dead chicken every day anytime from her wages. I'm not
keeping a Google says you will chicken and leave now. Oh right, okay,
I is chicken. I must clean wool roomless I guess never been cleaned
ever. And he leaves. Okay, I want to get Vita to I
want to see if I can get Vita to cook with chicken just by holding
it. Sure, M, what does Vita need to roll? I guess
some give me some sort of dexterity check to see if he can be if
he can contain his flames in a way that allows him to not just absolutely
obliterate this chicken. You know what he does. He sits there and I
think that this becomes a situation where you almost turn Vita into a campfire.
But he's just he's floating and not setting fire to anything in the room,
and you're able to just hold the chicken and turn it above him. It
takes a while. As you cook up one of these chickens above Vita,
you have three raw chickens as well, if you don't want to eat them
all immediately. I mean, Merlin's already eaten one. It's all gone.
Yes, it's like half of the bones are gone. And but you still
have to others if you want to keep them. I offer some of the
cookshaking a fire. Thank you, I can take your raw one. I
kind of like sat there and I imagine kind of over the days this sort
of connection between Vita and Fix has got like stronger, so just able to
control Vita a bit better, betas like better behaved. I also imagine when
we sleep at night, I use Vita like a campfire keeping us warm almos
sleeping. He's going to hang it out there, yea, Vita is It's
not ideal for Vita to be in like full flame form inside Again, he's
he's not like magic fire where it's not burning things. If he if he
touches the hay, it's going to go up. He sits down. So
but I think even in his actually form maybe he gives off a little heat
as well. But yeah, he is just literally on fire. He's just
a moving, constant, floating fire. Like probably half the time, the
amount of times we've probably not actively played out, but you guys have kind
of just been talking and then had to kind of go ahs as he flies
by, because there's just a floating campfire with you just all the time.
The smell of all the time as he catches a couple of stuff, but
I think he is getting better. And also Vita, of his own volition,
is only a few days old, but is learning a pretty quick rate
Toby to adjust and to understand. And I think you get also get the
sense that it's kind of an osmosis thing where he's also learning from you directly,
almost like he's downloading just how to be and what is going on as
as he does because he is he's part you. He was born partly of
your spirit, of Carmen's spirit, and of the demon's spirit. So so
Pizza cooks our chicken for us, and I share it with us. You
don't give anyto will now, all right, well you're gonna eat anything.
I'm gonna ask mind cooking one for me? M do we got time?
I'll do it and I grab one and then I'll just know rd to fix.
And girl, I still haven't apologized. Oh so so what Ah?
I did the thing where I was like, rind it, get him to
fuck that guy and then he will right, yeah, doing you can feed?
Well, I don't mind, but I'm not doing it. Sorry,
I tried to get you to fuck a guy chicken. Yeah that sounds appropriate.
Yea probably. Yeah. Well, I mean, if if you want,
I can get Vita to cook it for you, you know right here
right, No, you're not, you're not so quietly my mouth is inside.
Vita takes the chicken and cooks see the chicken for a while. Yeah,
I'll do finger guns it will, I got your back it hands it
off to fire, not me as well. I just kind of like point
a fire and then you can give I'll toss it. I'll toss it abruptly
into fires into fix his lap. Then well I don't want it? Now
what do I then? At this point, if you're gonna be like that,
let's just hit the road. This is from fire, not me.
He again, Yeah, it really just feel I did it again. You
couldn't do anything. Do you want beef? Oatmeal? Bacon? Bacon?
It would seem we have beef now bacon. Just take the chicken. Will
stop being a child? Fixed? Right? Okay, that's fine. You
almost get as killed, and I'm being a child for being annoyed at you
about that. It's very understandable, merlin. Do you want to go for
a walk with me? Morning? Breakfast round chicken? Eatn't walk real quick?
Yes? Yes, okay, We're gonna go for it. Let's see
see you later, can it just come on? Hm? I walk out
as well, because I don't want the orc to be angry. I know
you I was. I was waving to give you guys a minute. You
really think I want a minute? No, but I don't want another minute
of this. So then let's be on our way because I've got nothing else
to say. Okay, bacon and eggs, you said, come in right
up. As you step out of the room, the Goblin is starting to
see people in the front door is swinging. There's a few people heading in.
None of them are the Reavers, but you do recognize a couple of
faces from the night before, kind of wandering in. As you walk past,
the Goblin says, put their own buzziness, So you're like, you
come back whenever they want. Do I see the teeth things? M Robby
A D twenty yet's find out the fate die? Oh? No, only
do you see them, but they like they're like walking in as you try
to walk out. Oh okay, I sort of put my hand out in
front of them. As they walk in front of me. They give you
a very brief nod and kind of try to get out of your way.
No, sorry, do you mind if I speak to you for a moment.
They look at each other, look back, What do you want?
I just haven't seen many teeth things around here. I just well, I'm
curious while you're here classified? Okay, great? Do you work for?
What did it? Where was the patch from the may no ray? Yeah?
Noray sorr on naray business. They look at each other again. Yes,
and it's all classified or from the ray from the island you're from?
No ray? No, the nyesid's classified. Has nothing to do with the
wizard named Arias or anything like that. I mean inside check that. Well,
thanks, it breaks it. They say, you like both of them.
Their eyes widened briefly, and they look at each other, and then
one pulls you further away from everyone else, pulls you over to one side
and says, how do you know that name? I am uncomfortably personally acquainted
with him. Hm. No, that's not why we're here. Hm.
Right, but you recognize the name, yes, the mad tieth thing?
Right? And what do you know of him? Nothing? I know that's
not true. We know he's here somewhere. We know that he's a stain
and our countrymen and our reputation. Mm hmmm. And we know the king
wants him dead, and we know there's a bounty on his head. Right,
so where is mm hmm? What do I get out of telling you?
Mm hmm? What do you need? Don't you ask him? Last
night? Robbed? Yeah? Gold? Then gold to be good? What
do you know? Maybe weapons for my friends? Weapons? Do you think
we're a walking memory? No? That I know? You probably have resources.
We've got a few coins? Mhm how much? Then's what you've got?
An actual location or an idea? No, I know where he'll be
in five days time. That's very specific. Just give them an even look
straight in the eyes. M well, let's say fifty gold one hundred.
Yeah, I'll give you seventy one hundred. And I can tell you what
he's trying to do. What he's trying to do other than kidnap children?
Yes? Fine, do you know what he's trying to kidnap children? For?
No? Right? I do one hundred gold and humor me. What
will you do if you find him? I assume go for the bounty.
That's right, you know he is very right. Not to doubt your skills.
Who killed wizards? Before. Yeah, he's a bit more than a
wizard these days, he's elusive. Yeah he's he's found another way to draw
power. It makes him more of a threat than the average wizard. Okay,
give me the gold and I'll let you know what he is in five
days time. The one that you've been speaking to, a tall thiefling,
quite thin, but like kind of wiry muscular. You get the sense that
he's quite athletic, probably quite fast, similar build to maybe what Fire has
got going on. Nods to the slightly shorter, stronger looking, both of
them kind of brick colored skin as opposed to your kind of lighter blue.
But he the taller one, nods to the shorter one, and he turns
around and pulls out a bag behind him, sets it on the table,
and begins to count out from some coins that it seems to be a decent
amount of coin that he has. They look at each other and nod,
and he hands a bag over to you. One hundred I take the bag
gauze point five days time. He travels with a bandit group, not as
the leon viperam. So that is true? Yes, was it him what
burned that town? Yes? Someone's point Tom's point, I was talking about
the refuge needed that too. Well, you get that one for free,
then, I suppose m very well. Thank you for the information. If
you do manage to take him down, I'd love if you would somehow pass
a note on maybe come back here and leave it here, just to tell
me you've done so. Your name fix, I'm Carrious. This is our
ka pleasure to meet you. Thanks for doing business. Good luck and good
luck to you, and you'll need it. They turn away from you and
head over towards where they were seated last night. They sit down. You
can see that they're discussing something like a few looks up at you for the
first time. You see the smaller one suddenly begin to speak a lot quicker
than the other one, but hushed voices. Away from you can really probably
make out what they're saying to each other. The orc is standing at the
door. He leans his head in and says, the standard will do well.
I apologize for wasting your time. M walk out and join fire.
Yeah, the group of you are outside right in front of that big gate
that leads out of town. Give me perception checks. We see everything from
our four case satellite. Yes, you guys have three sixty vision fixed,
Merlin and will is what sucks for you is that this is purely just to
see if you recognize anybody out here, like Guinness or Ezra. You actually
don't. And also you notice that Guinness's carts have gone where he'd left them
from he stabled the horses elsewhere, but the area that he seemed to have
left the carts before have left. Whether that means that he's somewhere else in
town or whether he's already left the town, you're not sure. But he
doesn't seem to be here in the carts where a lot of these traders seem
to be storing the things they seem to be able to pay the guard here
to look after their wares overnight by the front gate, because there's a pretty
large military presence just outside. And yeah, you don't see any of that.
You also don't see Ezra and Fire. You were rolling to see if
you could see the silence member that was watching you, but you don't see
them. You are probably pretty are there around, just like I don't see
them, But yeah, but you you don't see them. There is in
fact, nothing or nobody here that you recognize. You don't see any of
the reavers or anything either. What would you like to do You're going back
into the town to spend some of that gold or heading straight out? Um?
Well, first I would surreptitiously walk up to Fire and just kind of
like take her hand and like jiggle the coin pouch a little bit and let
her jiggle my pouch. Hm hm. The easiest waiting car stuff back would
be surely to just pay for it. Did you roam someone? No?
I provided a service? Ah, Okay, you robbed somebody, not Fire's
kind of service. Mm hmm okay, yeah, okay, I'm not.
I'm good, but thank you for for doing that for us. In this
I'm not gonna get nothing, and we don't have much time to go and
get the sword out. But it looks like if we're going to go try
and find our eyes, they're probably going to be there as well, which
might work in our favor. Are they hunting him looking for the bounty?
Perhaps? Yeah? I imagine they just want the bounty. But well,
let's hope Arise doesn't have a lot of gold. You can persuade them with.
Loyalty derived from gold is often short lived. Mhm. Well, well,
what do you want to do? And you can either get friends to
get all things back, or we can just buy new things. You guys
pick I have all of my things, so I do really want my staff
back. I'm not sure how long it would take. I could ask them
if you guys would want to go that route. They took my ring.
Oh yes you want. It's not something that can be bought back. Neither
can my staff. I'm there with will Okay, yeah, I uh,
I'll just tell them that I want to hire them, then I will.
I will hire my friends who I met yesterday last night, and I'm gonna
take them up on their offer. Uh. Make it sound like you're talking
straight to them, but you're just talking your worse Yeah, everyone from a
perception check again, what the heck? Yeah, Merlin, you're like halfway
through you make it sound like they're talking right to them, and literally from
behind Fire, like someone's doing a magic coin behind the ear trick. One
of them appears. It's the younger one Fire you recognize to be the one
that that knew who thing he was prim vain, and she just walks into
the She just stands next to Fire. Just it's weird and I'm settling it
as she just kind of stands there and she nods her head to the rest
of you and then turns to you fire and and just does a few hand
gestures that don't mean anything to you, but she seems to be standing there
looking at you. Are they going to get all of the same? I
need I need the gold, Okay, okay, but I take the pouch.
We need to get everything. Yeah, we've got to get everything,
everything back. We we can hire your friends or you know, if we
catch them. I do think if we're in decent shape, the much better
fight. We could try to take it back ourselves, or do both.
I'm like midway through handing the pouch too. The girl, yeah, we
could do we can do both. How long will it shit? They don't
talk? How long? How many days to one? The The girl looks
to you fixed, then looks back to Byron, does a few hand gestures.
She looks at your face as you look quizzically, and she is.
She points to all of you and does like a scribbling motion with like a
pen and paper motion. I put myself down to get my pen and paper,
and remember my pens been stolen. Ah, I don't think I have
anything. She looks to you fire, and she says, well, she
doesn't say anything, but she does say. She draws a thumb across her
throat, and then she said, cocks her head and then makes a gesture
as if she's taking something from your pocket, A few things from your pocket,
and then does a shrug. Which one do you want? Kill them
or take the stuff back? Mmm? Booth is both an option if we
get a stuff backings. Actually, yeah, you just get the stuff and
then we'll you know, well we can come back with this. We'll do
that part. She points to the ground and then holds up two fingers.
Uh. Yeah, back here in two days, two days, two days.
You know, I am so bad at this. Okay, thank you,
cocks her head, and then I'll go in for an awkward hug.
I don't know as you're going for awkward how she takes the pouch from your
hand. M oh mm hmmm, and she walks away, Oh yep,
walking away from you. Now, okay, I think we I think we
did it. Yeah, you believe these people to be reliable? Well,
yes, I do? On what grounds? Uh? Well, you know
who knows or whatever? Well, the others from your forest have a certain
reputation for a reason. Let's hope it's accurate. Mm hmm. You wouldn't
rather me be like that, would you? You have to figure out what
I'm trying to say. Sometimes can we turn it on and off? Sometimes
it's debatable. Fire, I should not have asked, Well, we have
two days now to figure out what we're doing with the rise. And it
did just occur to me that if he finds out, people are coming to
find him and we're the only ones who know where to find him, and
he's going to know exactly who told him. Oh yeah, we're as good
as that, I think. Yeah, but at least but denying it for
a few days. So yeah, that's nice. If we can get there
before your friends do what that? Yeah, that that would be ideal.
But well, I don't know if the uh, the odds would be in
our favor. But we got to hold onto some faith, and I for
one, have faith in fires friends. Well that's nothing. Yeah, we're
all pretty uh tough and reliable, you know, my my tribe, my
kind. M hmm, Okay, that's what I'm saying. Mm hmmm.
What are you going to do now? He's staying in town? For two
days. Dandelo is about two days away. Mmmm. That jobs if you
didn't really rest much, you could get there by tomorrow afternoon and then we
have to get back. Wow. So even if we moved at a rapid
pace, we wouldn't be able to make it back in two days? Correct?
Would it be? Okay? If if our characters would know that,
would it be possible to ask them to or ask the the the silence else
to bank you three days instead? Yeah? You could also probably just arrange
to meet them in dandalone instead. Yeah, I mean if if if we
if we know that it's going to be too long of a walk, and
I'm certainly not going to let the off walk away before saying, hey,
you just meet us there or you know, come back here later three days
instead. She turns to you and looks at you fire. After he says
that, is it possible to meet us there? She nods no extra fee,
twits two fingers to her eyes and then puts them to you. She'll
see you, yep, I'll find you maybe. Ah. He kind of
nods towards fix. Okay, you're just gonna yeah, I'll see you see
you there. Then she nods looks back across each of you. There more
questions or instructions? Is that all had? If we had extra money when
we got there, would you help us kill him for a discount? He
looks at Fire. She makes the motion of like pulling a robe up over
her head and then stands in a position that is very reminiscent of the much
older woman that you were you were speaking with, Azula, and then shrugs,
okay, not up to her. I think, yeah, I don't
suppose you have a direct line to you the boss lady, do you.
She winks at you Fire and turns around and begins to walk off again.
Okay, okay, Well, I mean I suggest we got it down below,
wait for them to bring our things to us, and then see if
we need help. We're on a timeline. We can't deviate from our course.
Yes, we have to continue to Dandal. But I wonder if we
can see if there's a merchant going there already might want to hire us,
maybe someone like Guinness, but less talkative. We could try asking around in
a hurry, but I don't know if we'd be able to pull that together
on such short notice. But you know, work your magic if you can
do so, I'll try the same. But if we don't find someone,
sorry, if we don't find someone willing to hire us in the next hour
or two, I think we just need to hit the road ourselves, because
there's not going to be time otherwise. I'd like to go you straight away,
look around for any I'd like to see where the carts would leave the
town and then see if there's any carts in the process of getting ready to
leave or leaving. Yeah, give me an investigation check. You can have
advantage since and Will are kind of doing the same thing, and I this
is I work one well, that that one guardsman here that I'm acquainted with,
Percy Longshore or whatever his name was, Can I go? Can I
go, like seek out the guards the guardsmen and ask them if they can
recommend a merchant that might hire us out, like if they have someone who
passes through. Uh, and even better, try to get them to recommend
me. I'll see if I can you put my persuasion ability to use.
Yeah, give me you give me an investigation check as well, investigation while
fakes. Yeah, you're looking around, it's that there's a there's a few
can'ts leaving, But there seem to be more coming into town. Will you
kind of ask around? You grab a couple of the guards and ask after
after dedicated guardsmen, Percival, league, Gallo, and a few of them
know who years but they just they don't know if he's on duty. They
haven't seen him, and you don't seem to be able to find him.
But you can give me a persuasion check with disadvantage to speak with these guys
instead. We'll just see if you can. Oh yeah, they immediately you
said a disadvantage. Yeah, no, you're right, Yeah, give me
another one. Twenty one s still the twenty one basically the same answer.
I'm most of the carts that leave for Dandelo have seemed to have left.
They tell you that most of the carts leave as soon as the sun comes
up if there is sunshine that day, and the last week or so there
have been like six hours of sunshine a day, which is a lot,
and today's no different. You guys have actually stepped out into daylight. It
probably would have looked like it had only freshly risen around ten or eleven.
But most of the traders, much guinness, does leave as soon as they
can if there's daylight and travel by daylight, because it's just so beneficial to
have that extra visibility as a merchant on the road. For the most part,
it seems like almost all of the carts that would have been leaving for
Dandelo have already left. You're pretty basic. You're basically out of luck with
the eight and the four. They're playing an element of fate into it as
well. You seem to be out of luck, and you can spend some
time looking around seeing if anyone is leaving later in the day. But like
you said, it would take you a little bit of time. You can
mark off by cost, mark off another hour or so. But yeah,
you're you're pretty sure that most of the carts left as soon as the day
come up. They make a mad rush to get out and on the road
while they can so as well alone or as well. We can assume that
you kind of you went away, you spend fifteen twenty minutes doing this,
and now you've come back regrouped, and yeah, will you can have informed
them that most of the carts leave as soon as daylight appears. You suddenly
see all the traders rush out of the gates. On top of that,
both of you are quite aware that it doesn't seem like there are any traders
leaving. A handful trickling in, but not really not much activity when it
comes to traders and carts at the main gate. No luck on the carts,
Yeah, no luck either. I tried talking to the guardsman about who
would be the most common choices, but it would seem they've all left very
early in the morning. We'll just be traveling on our own for this one.
The job didn't get beaten to a pulp yesterday, so this won't be
uncomfortable at all. And you managed to go almost entire twenty minutes without being
a divisive prick. We're making progress. Interesting. It does occur to me
that one might feel maybe slightly apologetic about almost killing all their friends. Does
it occur to you that your a little pet summoned the demon prints from hell
and killed Merlin and I didn't sit there jabbing you about it afterwards? I'm
sorry? What makes you think Vita summoned it to come up out of the
ground? How fucking dare you? Vita tried to save us all? How
dare you get out of my face? Fix? I have binger problems to
deal with than your attitude. Apparently so, because your own attitude is fucking
appalling. We oh so, I thought were friends, and yet every single
day you make me wonder why. Well? I think then Merlin would come
in between and just look up at both of them. I'm not going to
ask you to apologize for almost getting us all killed. I'm just going to
say that if Merlin's heard again because of a decision you make, regret it.
I have already saved your life so many times that I've lost count.
I don't want to hear it. I do not want to hear it.
Let's just all stop for a moment. Okay. You do not see me
sitting here throwing a pitty party every single time one of you makes a mistake,
right, you think that's a pity batter. I don't know why I
bother you. Look, I understand tensions are high now, but we cannot
Time is of the nisence and we are just days away from meeting Arias again.
We have to stay strong and together. I that day I died,
I had my faults too, and with that I paid for with my life,
and for whatever strange circumstance, I am still here as all of you
are as well. We need to see this through and remain together. This
would be exactly what Arias would want. Sorry, I may have overstepped,
but I in the time of knowing all of you, I have considered you
all very dear friends. I do not have many. Being a hermit,
I I was alone most of my time. Just thought i'd let you know.
I get down on one knee and just hug mull and really tightly.
He hugs back even tighter. I won't let you be alone again. I
don't have to worry about that anymore, cause I have you guys. And
then Merlin's finger falls off. Oh well, we knew that was bound to
happen. Do I notice? I'm sure you do. I was trying and
pick it up straight away as soon as I see it. So far doesn't
notice. Okay, then it's okay. It's just you know, the pinky.
I just you know, won't be able to pick my nose with it
anymore. I take Merlon's hand and the finger and I try and like lightly
cost cast frostbite on it to like stitch it together with ice, like oh,
oh hey, well that that you know, that'll stay put a little
bit longer. No, it's just it's just like a sap yep. If
it falls off again, and don't tough, we'll do m hm mm hm
ah. Right, Dandelo by fuck. I got no healing potions, so
I can make them. Fortunately, just give me what do you need for
them? Uh? Well, I just need mushrooms. I'll be on the
lookout for mushrooms the entire time. Those red toad stools, the ones with
white polka dots, you you can't miss them. A right, h let's
go. Then stop wasting time and I will walk towards the gate. Reach
head towards the gate. When the guards stop you for a moment and have
a quick back and forth about where you're going, and presume you're open with
them, tell them that you're heading towards Dandalo. They tell you there's a
shortcut that you can take by foot, that it is off road. If
you wanted that information, they will let you know that when traveling to Dandalo
from Kira by foot, there is a shortcut known as Twin Rock, which
is a shortcut through the wasteland off road. It can reduce the travel by
a considerable amount. I will quickly show you where it is on the map,
so that you guys, you guys would have been verbally told that here
on this part here, this is a little short and those two rocks are
known as twin Rock, and you would be very aware of it. And
I think we see the four of you have this brief conversation. The gods
give you a little lay of the land to give you an idea of the
best route to travel, and you begin heading out of this this small town,
the castle and the plateau that it sits on behind you, with the
sun now kind of heading up towards the center of the sky, and you
start moving on foot, the four of you, through the farm lands and
the trading posts outside of Kira, and follow this this basic road that heads
south towards Dandalo and the kind of wasteland desert I say kinder because it doesn't
come with the heat. It is not a desert because of heat. It's
just dead land. And that is where we end today's session. Thank you
so much for playing players, and thank you so much for watching watchers.
And we'll do a quick round of shout outs here before saying good night,
and we'll see you next week. Let's start with the drama bananas. We'll
go with Fairlight first. Who are you, Where are you? How are
you doing? Hi? I am Jesse aka Fairlight. You can find me
on Twitter, dot tv, Slash, Fairlight, Underscore ex Caliber. I'm
currently playing Will, the most popular character in the campaign who his decisions are
just mutually loved by all universally. Thank you so much for hanging out with
us today. Glad you all enjoyed. Yeah. I had a certain rule
with these two taverns in town if you couldn't tell that one of them was
kind of a nicer place establishment and the other one, Go Gos is kind
of like one of the canteenas in Star Wars, where, if you will
recall, like the most icly one, everyone just gets killed by hand solo
shooting first or o'bi wan brutally murdering, cutting off that dude's hand, And
that's kind of what the vibe of this place was so except in this case,
the Dwarves are hard and I'll be one. Everyone in there is violent
everyone, And you know, sometimes just knowing Dwarfish culture and knowing who they
are, it only goes so far. And you know, saying I don't
know I'll come and what you do? You call them pussies or something,
and they were like, well, all right, fine, And you know,
it was just one of those situations. You were in one of those
rough bars. There are all these blokes sitting around drunk, and what happens,
man, Sometimes you get robbed. I fully expected to get smacked her
out as soon as it escalated to violence. I just I didn't realize the
rest the party was so badly crippled. Yeah, you guys, Like when
it went to the battle map and it showed everyone else with two health and
three alpha, I'm like, oh, yeah, you guys haven't really had
the chance outside of a short rest from the troll fight, which was rough
as hell. So this remember the troll fight was earlier that day in terms
of the characters. You guys, at the end of the afternoon, as
some as the sun was setting, went and A saved Ezra and dealt with
the trolls. Then you had a short rest on the back of some carts
into town. Then you did a little shop and you got kicked out of
a bar and went to this one. So you know, it was no
one you just you needed a long rest. Really, I thought you probably
would have given them a run for their money. Outside of that, they
also had a combat like that is rough because when you start with one person
in the fight and the other three jumping later on, you kind of lose
a lot of tactical advantage, especially against a group of dwarves that I and
I pulled up the thing and looked at what they had, and they had
like pak tactics and stuff. So I was like, well, these guys
are that sounds like the type of group that know what they're doing, and
so it's just a really rough It was a really really rough position to be
in for that kind of a combat. You know, technically speaking, you
also ruled nineteen nineteen twenty twenty nineteen. You quit us like five times.
You don't think I'm playing with the lottery tomorrow, You're crazy. I mean,
if we had to go back and do the scene again, I promise
you, if you put me in a room full of racist bullies threatening me,
it's going to turn into a fight every single time. What can I
say? No apologies? Yeah, yeah, it makes sense. I always
appreciate the you know, roleplay yourself to death happens. I've done it.
I did it. Last week, but I'm not going to tell you where
and when. And also a lot of two of these people are in my
offline game, Oracles Rest, and they did it last week as well,
role played themselves into a terrible position. It happens in D and D.
I appreciate it. Do that. I would never do that. I don't
know what you mean, but yeah, so yeah, I don't know.
I can't argue with it either. Everyone gets an inspiration point. There you
go, that's what they're for. Sometimes I remember they exist. Get a
T shirt. That's like, I got mauled and rough by dwarfs and all
I got was this shitty inspiration point. There's better nothing. Maybe it'll save
your lives out there. You don't have any posts. You're in a rough
position to be wandering into the wilderness as well, without any potions and your
stuff, I mean Will's you're currently using a like a rape year, like
a fencing weapon. And while he it's not really too different to a long
sword, I think it just it goes to demonstrate the position you're in.
You know, Merlin doesn't have the ability to spells that don't that that require
m so look at all of yourre does he not have one? He can,
but he said he doesn't. So if he wants his arcane focus to
be that very specific staff, then that's what it is. And with your
arcane focus missing, take a look at the spells that you have, and
the verbal and somatic spells you can still cast, but without an arcade.
I don't want Merlin to discover that he can without the staff kind of thing,
because he's so used to assumed thinks that, yeah, yeah, then
yeah you can. You can shift. I think what you need to do
technically in D and D is manually take time to shift what your arcane focus
is, because that's what you were using, not the component paunch, but
the arcane focus through the staff. So at some point pick another item of
the very few items you have left and you can have that become your arcane
focus and you kind of okay the spells through that. But for now as
it's SITS and we'll work out in the week. All of your spells that
have the V and the S you can still cast because that's verbal and somatic
components. But the ones with the M, if they have an M in
them, you will need to have a new arca and focus and that was
I was gonna say something else, but I forgot what it was, so
instead we're just going to go to the other drama Banana fix. When you
did earn one hundred gold, that's not bad. You met those two suspicious
teeth things. Yeah, I can't wait for that. Baite me in the
ass. Later as as soon as we walked into the bar, and it
was like everybody looks like a bandit and it was like they're going to fleece
you for the rooms, and I'm like, you know what, don't want
to stir the pot. Just want to sleep tonight, Just want to go
to bed. There's a giant sound of a pot being stirred behind you and
you turn around and dwarves are swinging axes. That will That's what it is.
Anyway, Hi, I'm in a hotel right now. Yes, my
roommate or my person on the other wall hates me right now. They're my
co host tomorrow. Uh yeah, you can catch me usually at twitch dot
tv forward slash Leah usually sounding a bit better, That's all I'll say.
They shoot, it didn't sound too bad. It was fine. It's the
worst when you're somewhere else and you're having to do everything and you're worried about
how it sounds in one screen as well and keeping up with everything. I
had to DM like that once from LA for a month, a fracch of
Worlds, and it was the worst thing ever. I have three screens here.
All of them are like split in half in a way, you know
what I mean, Like I have two like zoom is here, I have
my notes here, and I have the obs here and the clean feed and
then the chat and roll twenty is over here, plus the stream roll twenty
there and my soundboard here, and I still need more screens. And there
was this time I was in LA with a laptop screen running Fractured Worlds for
John Sandman and it was absolutely horrific. It was the worst place I had
to use a book. I had to put out the actual books because they
actually you can't even read, and I can't read. That's the thing,
wild mad. They were just to stand the laptop on. Yeah, he
just likes the picture. That's why I started d n D. I was
like, what's that thing with lots of eyes on the front of the thing?
Find out next week as they run into a beholder based on their luck
so far in the campaign. What about you, dis b What are you
doing? What are you doing it? What's going on? Oh? Hi,
I'm I played Maryland for you today. I am on Twitch and Twitter.
Sam handles dyspierics. I do a bit of the role play and variety
and thank you so much for tuning in everybody. Thanks for playing Dasbey.
You are falling apart? Yeah I am. And so there's a character.
Hey, wait for Marlin to be literally held apart by like ice. You
know that season two of this would be Merlin in one of those Futurama heads
in a jar things around. It's just a brain in a Yeah, it's
weird talking. It's like psychically projecting and telekinetically moving things five feet away.
What about you, Brian? That's that secret stream you did in the week.
But I was awesome and I definitely saw it. Yeah, I'm so
glad I did it just for you. I didn't what if I did?
What if I actually streamed for like twelve hours in I'd be so annoyed.
I'd be so annoyed that you didn't message me. Oh man, now I
want to do it just so you don't see it. You had some stuff
today that I was planning on doing the whole time regardless, and found an
even better situation in which to do the thing. I was like, oh,
man, I poisoned you in that as soon as you came into town.
It was just to have you marked and fall asleep. They just get
you. The plan was whenever you guys went to sleep. Yeah, that's
what it was. And so you went to the thing last week and then
you were like, no, we won't stay here. We'll get kicked out
of this bar. And then you went to this one, and then you
get kicked out this one, and I was like, when in the whole
time, it was like a member of the Silence watching all of this from
a rooflot somewhere, waiting for you to like, waiting for their chance to
get you and whatever, and and yeah, that's what happened. But the
good thing about it happening this way you get to keep your stuff. Yeah,
you come along and steal all your things, and then there was just
a Silence member that was like no, and they were like all right for
you. When with them, guys, I would have liked to see that
interaction. That's you can imagine. That's probably how it went down, but
they were and then they took it away. I have a whole group of
friends now kind of yeah, they're like they give you, they've given you
some options, but they still cost one hundred gold a day. But they're
very effective. I'll give you some meta that they are extremely effective at what
they do, like it. And so yeah, these were actually the guys
that dawn Walker suggested that you just hire all of them to go after Arias
and his whole group of bandits. But obviously it's exceptionally pricey, but that
was what he So that was the time because last week you've as were like,
I feel like dorn Walker mentioned something about them, and we didn't give
a fuck at the time, and now it seems prevalent. And that's what
it was. He was like, Oh, I think there are these the
group of like hardcore shadow Wells that will just obliterate anyone. Maybe send them
after them, but they're very pricey. I wonder if I would get a
member's discount if I join. Yeah, well you didn't, you don't,
I don't know, I don't know. I mean I do know, but
I'm not going to tell you. Yeah if I join, but if you
if you join, you are not really able to just do this stuff anymore.
You have to do the missions that they set you and not necessarily go
wandering off into the mist and you know, bopping around with this lot,
starting fights with dwarves. So it's a yeah, it's a weird. I
don't know. I just wanted to put you in this situation, and it's
so fun when you get to do like one of those weird one on one
combat situations in everything. It was very cool and I really enjoyed it.
I thought it was super fun. It was really just it was really weirdly
equal as well. I just I was like, there's no one's winning this,
and we're going to be here the whole time. So I think that
I can't believe she raded me five out of ten. I'm so upset with
myself, and I will the next time I see her. I'm going to
be at least a seven. I don't think you can get higher than a
seven with her, regardless. I think to get a seven you have to
almost kill the other yeah warrior, which is quite hard to do anyway.
But I was like, if you just pulled out a credit after the crit
maybe Yeah, she'd be like, wow, that was amazing six point five
six and a half. Yeah, so but it was fun, and I
was looking. I was glad that you came here so that in Kira,
because again I don't actually you didn't have to come here technically, just so
that we could see that. Because I've written these exiles in and this is
where a lot of them have to go. I think, Yeah, anyway,
are you doing any streams this week or anything. I'm doing a secret
stream and it will be precisely as soon as Brad goes to sleep, and
nobody's going to tell them a joke's on you I have I'm going to pay
Emma to knock you out there is there is no missile after dusk, I'm
assuming tomorrow because Lea is a busy boy in secret location at Langley. I
don't even know where I am working. She's working on behalf of Silence right
now. So if you want to do any theory, crafting and things,
head on over to the discord table. Story discord usually popping off all week
with people discussing things. If you're curious about I don't know, people got
theories and talking about things. Next week we will see if you can get
to Dan below without everything going horribly wrong. Hey, maybe you find a
treasure chest on the way or something. I don't know either, because it's
a few it's gonna be a few random rolls, I think, to see
what you do encounter on the way over there. I can tell you that
there is a treasure chest on the list, but there's also a dragon now
because you're high enough levels, so enjoy your random encounter roles next week.
Until then, I embraced us. Until then, you can watch my stream
if you want. I'm playing Silent Hill two for the first time ever tomorrow.
Yes, won the game boat. Also we have Rhyme of the Frost
Maiden tomorrow night on Table Story, then Vampire the mass Parade on Sundays,
Witchcraft on Wizardry, Harry Potter on Tuesdays, and Spellwind D and D on
Wednesdays. If you wanted to see more Table Story things. All right,
that's the end of it. Thanks so much for watching, and we'll see
you next time. Bye.
