going to stay here or well? Sakawachi made mention that it would be difficult
to find this place to lila and lick our wounds. How injured are you
all? I'm sure very much better now. Thank you for bressing my wounds.
I'm doing great as always, but I could use a little sleep.
Little you know, it's a little nap. I do not know if it
will be safe for us to remain here, especially after hearing those goblins.
Very goodful? Shall we leave? Then? Where is the closest place where
we can go to sleep? I do not know it. I am struggling
to find my way without my guides. What do we know about hobgoblins?
Oh, I know quite a bit. What do you want to know about
them? I want to know a couple of things. First of all,
how easily they are fooled? Like could we walk amongst them with proper disguises?
Can they be domesticated? Perhaps ridden? The hobgoblins are very aggressive,
They are warlike, and they are seasoned fighters that make a good pet,
that's what you're saying. I don't think so. I think we should be
careful around them and assume if we get caught that we will have to fight
our way out. As for a deception, it will depend on how well
we can move among them. However, seem very smart. They can be
crafty when they need to do. They like drugs, you know. I
don't know about that. Or games. We could trick them with games.
As I look around, can I see the frequency or the intensity of creatures
around us, surrounding the immediate area around the observatory. This is something you
also did in the previous session at the end the area around the observatory.
You sort of you looked around, You gave it sort of a cursory glance.
You might have seen the goblins rush off. But have you ever seen
doctor strange. Have you the movie? Yeah, sort of like strange splitting
in the mirrors and things that kind of happen, people getting changing paths or
moving strangely, the roads sort of veering in different directions than you perceived.
The second ago seems to be occurring here. It's really difficult to keep track
of what's going on. By the gods, we're already on drugs. Well,
perhaps this is actually to our advantage. If something is chasing us,
we might be able to shake it. The train is unstable and changing.
Is there any indication of where your GUIDs might be, how we could find
them. It seems impossible to navigate anything here. We will have to try.
I suppose. I am very worried about them. How did you navigate
this area up until this point? Was there any technique? Did you use
a rope belt? My guides made their best way, but even they were
a bit confused after a short period of time. M M all right,
And did you get separated from your group due to the ever changing landscape of
the place. Do you think it wise for us to stick very very close
together as we travel It would be very smart to do that. Yes,
perhaps, aluly that is how we separated. Yes, all right, ross
chock, darling. Do you notice anything? Do you notice anything of use
in the room here? Anything magical hacking? I will cast detect magic and
see if there is anything, and give me a moment. Listen. Does
the throat sound all right? Should they make some tea for you? Why?
Nothing? Nothing, just curious. It doesn't feel strange it did?
Do you? And do I sound bad? You take two of these and
call me in the morning. I think it's goblin box, I say loudly,
yes, yes, I am very infected with goblin box, but dead.
On the plus side, I can also give it to others. Let
me know when you have any postuals. I'll take a simple very well on
the cast of detect magic. You see, I think a rash talk sort
of looking around, and various mosquitoes begin to spread out, and slight glows
to them, but nothing significant. Slowly they sort of return. It doesn't
appear that there's anything here. All right, I suppose we shall be on
our way. Yes, before we go, I would like to spend a
few minutes to look out over the terrain. I understand that it's constantly changing,
but after some time am I able to discern a pattern, a pattern
in the ever changing landscape. Yes, the street in order to cut back.
Let's see here. It's a fair question or is it completely random?
Uh? Okay, make a survival check for me. Very good, There
is a two. It is baffling to you. You have no idea.
It makes no rhyme or reason. Human ruler of the observatory, and I
have a question. Do you think do you think we have a eight hours
or so resting? By the chance? Are you addressing me the GM or
Sakawachi Sakachi, the human ruler of the observatory. Sakouachi has already stated that
she does not think of that it's safe here. She was also exploring I
believe it was like her first time here. All right, Well she rules
it now, that is very fair. She's the current ruler of the observatory.
We look at her. Her blessings are extraordinary. Unchallenged on the post,
I'm not running all right. Well, here's the situation. I have
no infused three agents, so if we depart, there will be no bombs.
Well, do you have any sort of weaponry? You have one of
those crossboads. Yes, I realized that it's not your prefer medium, but
it is still something on the list. It's still good. Totally. Yeah,
I'll lose dead. Are you, by the way, are you able
to wield simple weapons? I have a morning Star. I have this and
it's the flaying knife from the one that the Voilways had since a dronis I've
got this? All right? It's fine, I'll be fine, all right.
Is the observatory the largest building in the city that you can see?
Yes, you are standing on top of it right now. We should leave
a note in case one of the guides tries to come here. It is
likely that you'll try to come here. What is the least likely language that
the hobgoblins speak and the most likely language that the guide will speak. Could
we write a note that is not discernible to the tiny, fickle minds of
the hobgoblins, but can be discerned by the guide. Yes, we can.
We can speak the language of my people perfect to write a note to
tell them to stay here, stay hidden. Yes, I will. I
will write this in I'm in Nuits. Mhmm. Then I suppose we just
pick a direction. We can see about everything on this map from the top
of the observatory. Yes, yeah, but again it's really weird. It's
really confusing you. Like it does the thing where you look in one direction
and you kind of establish the landscape in your head and then it just like
slightly alter your vision and like stuff moves around a little bit. Question,
and is this homes or is this physical geological landmarks like the river for instance.
Oh, good question. I think it's a little bit of everything.
Oh, so the river is moving around two, I see, but the
observatory from our perspective, is not moving. Is correct? Well, then
if we are to move in a direction, I suggest we keep the observatory
to one side of us, maybe behind us, and some keeps an eye
on the observatory, and if we get separated, to head back to the
observatory. It's right, all right, that is a wonderful idea. Keep
it as some sort of an anchor for us, so to speak. All
right, now, sucker, what she mentioned that as we traverse this place
we should stick very close together. Shall we all hold on to a rope
perhaps as we travel the street, so we do not lose each other,
just as a tether. It seems like a good idea to me. Let's
do it, but don't be afraid to cut loose if something goes wrong.
And the sooner that we can find some sort of rest is a better for
Karoon as well. Certainly right, I will gather up my rope and I
will begin to hand it to each person. So the best way out of
here, sakawachie. Do you assume it's going to be up that way and
finding a weight down? Or shall we try to escape the observatory from the
lower levels. It looks like we can slide down or we can climb back
down the ladder that your friend here has has made. It seems bright both
are viable. Now I look to the others. Shall we begin our trick?
Then, Socca watter leading us, or at least guiding us very well.
I will do my best. It will be by your side. Which
way do you go? Do you slide down the roof or do you take
the do you climb back down the ladder? In the telescope I've wrote we
climbed down the ladder. Let's likely break our ankles. Yeah, it's all
right, all right? Uh. And just a reminder, Karun has fashioned
this ladder out of like debris from inside the observatory and it's super sick,
like this ladder is amazing, Like what designs itched into it is like super
fancy patterns I've put in some eleven runes. They don't do anything, but
they look nice. It look like they do something, and that's what's important.
That's right. It says like an Elvish I'm the bomb gets the lyrics
to the Spice Girls song if you want to be My Lover. I don't
know now Karun had the time to do all this in the middle of a
fight, but there it is. Karun makes time in the middle of the
five. So you climb back down the ladder and begin to head out of
the observatory, and Sakawachi kind of looks around and she says, she says,
I think that our meeting was fated. The unlikely events that have led
to this, as well as this room protection that is on me and all
of you, must mean something. We were fated to meet. I think
we are meant to travel together. Do you not agree? I do.
I think as long as you stay with us, we'll be able to protect
you. Perhaps divine some further meaning of why this has happening. I am
also curious perhaps you are meant to help me, perhaps I am meant to
help you, or both. Mm No, we shall endeavor to find out.
Saco Watchie sort of looks around and I suppose this way is as good
as any, and she begins traveling south. As you begin to leave the
vicinity of the observatory, you begin to hear the sounds of footsteps on cobbled
streets that are not your own, people sort of jogging at a jogging pace.
Sacawachie holds a hand back and she says, someone is moving, and
uh, someone amongst you can make a perception check for me. I will
because my bonus is bananas. Yeah, I think I'm like a plus plus
twelve now, pier, I suppose to say, that's when we get a
natural one. So you are like walking down the stairs of the observatory,
as Sakawachi says this, and rounding a corner or celia, you can see
abgoblins. It looks like there is there. There are five of them headed
your way. One of them has a red orange cloak. Are we in
a position so that it will be inevitable that they come upon us? Does
there seem to be any hiding spot for us. Perhaps you can absolutely try.
Would you all like to try and hide? Or would how would you
like to handle this? Very quickly? I will say, yet there they're
coming. A score of five. Truly hide? Yes, yes, we
should at him to hide. I do not hide. I was down here
you go see, not be stupid. Sometimes the most technically impressive decision is
the one that gets to fight another day. Yes, I'm not going to
fight. We are not ready to get into another fight, Malvic. I'm
not trying to fight anyone. But they are trying to fight us, Malovic.
I will be trying to hide. Think they are the ones that managed
to escape earlier. This why be their leader? Fine to have a joy?
Okay, I do this gone very well? Uh everybody that is trying
to hide, please make a stealth check. Thirteen eighteen o seven let's see.
Oh boy fast. Oh that's not good. Uh mm hmm, hey
that's a three for Sakawachie. Yeah, rash talk rolled a little bit better.
Uh okay, seventeen from a rash talk. Uh alrighty. You all
try to find some hiding spots. But you can see as you are rushing
to find some cover that the hobgoblins are already starting to rush up the path
of stairs leading to the observatory, and I would like to move you back
to the observatory. Please select your tokens and roll initiative. Oh no,
yeah, is this going to be the perception based or stealth based? So
this will be stealth based. Oh whoops, I didn't though. Sorry,
it's fine, I'm sorry I forgot to specify. I don't know how to
remove my twenty two. Uh, just roll it again. Fifteen. That
was so much better. Well, yes, we could have probably just removed
our modifiers and then added the appropriate one. Whoo, girl had get out
of there. My girl's sakawachie coming in hot, chilled, the knocks,
funny on her stuffinesson'll let me change it. For some reason, I won't
let you change it in the list. Nope, it just goes gray.
And then that's what I rolled initially. Did you hit entered? Yep?
What's YOURR total? I mean after I rolled it again, it was sixteen.
Alrighty you can definitely see some of these hobgoblins are wounded as they are
rushing up. You probably recognize some of the wounds that you inflicted as they
begin to make their way. But one of them does seem rather nimble as
they are rushing up the stairs. And did this not change the token?
Okay, that one that is blue. There is the one that looks a
little bit more nimble. Okay, I will mark them with a blue dot
as well, just in case. That's a little bit easier to see.
Okay, As they begin to rush up the stairs, let's see. Okay,
let's get some initiative for them. Okay, Oh, she rolled very
well. Okay. As you are all sort of rushing into position, and
our Celia notices that they are already making their way upon you, this hobgoblin
in the back yells to the rest of the hobgoblins blug blog, let their
blood spill. We will take what they have and we will have our fill.
What are they saying? I can't understand the single thing. Probably not
good things, I would assume. What was that? As you're asking for
that, there is a uh crossbow that is fired, and this one will
be aimed on two words malvic Oh shit, okay, Uh, that's a
natural one. Okay. As the hobgoblins are sort of rushing up the stairs.
Uh, there's a slip that happens with this one as the bolt sort
of sails passed. Then they will reload and fire again, this time at
ar Celia twenty five to hit as a bolt sales passed, Sakawachi and hit
you in the leg. Uh, Sakawachi's turn. Sakawachi will sort of run
back here, I think, and has to bless again. Actually, no,
you know what, Sakowachi will stay or right where she isn't cast blessed
that way, anybody that runs forward can be in bless I believe she can
also extend it if she uses an action. I'm not sure exactly, but
she can spend actions to increase the range of it. Okay, other ages,
so heighten basically heighten it or oh you can use the concentrate to increase
the emanations raised by five feet? Uh yeah, absolutely, she's got an
extra action. Why not? She will extend it to ten feet Sakawachi,
So fuck it, she's gonna back up. Uh. Okay, Malvic,
it is your turn with me. You won't hear normal scream and just say
more of a normal it's activate rage and I will go yeah. M hmm.
Is this part of the stair open right here. Oh yeah, there's
no railings or anything you can jump off. No, no, no,
I was wondering. It's probably about let's say five feet up like that.
Okay, I will swing sam draknick. Okay, oh I'm not worst damage,
very nasty strike from malloway, rushing forward, you attack with your great
sword. So rage one action move and great sword. Okay, correct?
All right? For twenty two slashing damage, you leave a horrible strike into
this goblin, rending their flesh. You can see it, like slices through
part of their armor. Blood starts to well up in their mouth. Fill
up, Karun, it's your turn. I would like to is there any
debris or any kind of thing I could craft some bolts from on the ground
out here? Definitely not in a quick, quick way for sure. Very
well? Is am I allowed to group coers? You can definitely try,
you can. You can try and demoralize them. Yeah, oh well,
this would be a course. So course is different. Course would be let's
see the exact action. I want to make sure this is correct. Okay.
So this is charisma based intimidation. Interesting with either with either veiled or
covert threats, you attempt to bully a creature into doing what you want.
You must spend at least one minute of conversation with a creature you can see
and that you can either see or that can either see or sense you,
and at the end of the conversation you can attempt an intimidation check. So
it is, it's a longer type thing. I don't think it's meant for
battle. No, uh, all right, then you can just try and
demoralize, which is an intimidation, but it's not a group course. All
right, then I'll just I'll try to demoralize. Then, sure, I
will look. I will look at whatever one is the appears to be the
leader, perhaps the most colorful and flamboyant of them, and I will look
red orange cloak looks to be very uh, flamboyant. I will look upon
them, and my body will become slowly increasingly flickering out of existence, seemingly
one with the shadows, and I will say onto it, the bones of
your ancestors tremble not of fear, but of anticipation of your everlesding company.
Leave this place, Okay, make an intimidation check. Seventeen. You see
all of the hobgoblins sort of like look around like wildly, and then look
at you and then you see this, you know, smaller figure that's kind
of reised in shadow, and they look towards North Kesa, and North Kesa
says, what you fools look look to them, fight blood, take their
things. We are here for their loot. We cannot leave without. Oh
they just want lute. What was that? I can't understand the thing they're
saying. And how many actions was this? Is this only one one?
Then I would like to create a diversion. Okay, let's see diversion.
These are all different things that you can do here. This is a deception
based on charisma. So I wrote it for Deception twenty two. Uh.
Okay, with a gesture or trick or some distracting words, you can create
a version that draws creature's attention elsewhere. If you use a gesture or trick,
this action gains the manipulate trait. If you use distracting words, it
gains the auditory and linguistic traits. It is it's a physical trick. I
will conduct my most powerful sense of persuasion against the creatures as dumb as these.
I come out of the shadows, addressing them in my full form,
and I take a little silver out and I go ah ah, and I
toss it over the edge. Okay, go get it. Yeah. You
can see several hobgoblins sort of look like very confused look over to the side,
and north Keza does as well. Money, I would now take cover.
Okay, that is my tone. You just kind of duck down,
like hands on your head. You got to realize when you take cover,
there has to be something there. So right now you're just you're trying your
best to uh snake eater without a box. Yeah, making myself a smaller
target and back into the shadows. I go, okay, alrighty uh yara.
Goblin's attention is off to wherever Karun threw the thing. To be clear,
the ones that have all of them had threatening actions or hostile actions.
Use towards them, so far, use towards them towards so an intimidation I
would assume would be considered threatening it right, and that was towards the leader.
So this was towards Narth. Yeah, okay, So I will not
be using my flute on him, as he would get a plus four,
So not doing that. But what I will do is I will go ahead
and I will past life link upon Malevik for one action. This will heal
him for four points of health, and from there the one that he is
working on, I will go ahead and I will wave my hand over Droness's
rapier and send needle darts launching towards this creature for an eighteen to hit.
Okay, and this is towards the one in front of Malvic. You said,
yes, okay, believe that is a hit. But let me just
double check. Oh nope, that is a miss. So it's not that
you miss them. You connect with their armor. So there's a lot of
thinking thing ding ding, and it doesn't just it just doesn't penetrate the armor.
What you can see. All right, they will reaperate as the rapiere
upon my waist, and that's just my turn. Okay. The soldiers will
begin rushing forward, climbing the steps. First of all, the one that
is in front of you, Malvic, that you have hit very hard with
your sword, will attempt to strike you with a long sword. Fourteen is
a miss. It strikes with its long sword. You simply parry it out
of the way. It spins, delivering a second strike with a nine another
parry. You are reading this creature easily. It tries for a third strike
a bit worried now and gets a seventeen to hit. Assume that is also
a miss. Where's our best war yorh not waste my time? Yah,
loot, loot, We will take your loot. This one on the edge
of the stairs rushes up and tries to attack you from behind, flanking you,
giving you flat footed. So that's a minus two your AC as it
will attack and they have some special bullshit that will not activate. Okay,
sorry, I was just reading that this guy will attack you. The flat
footage is still in place as they attack you. Seventeen to hit some miss.
Okay, this one strikes you see it circling around you, Malvic.
You can sense the strike. You use the minimum amount of for to get
out of the way. Second attack though, twenty two. Now about the
hit, I have temporary HP. Does that go first before YAR? It
takes damage, but as drama, so it takes damage. I think the
temper HP goes first and then YAR takes damage. We're supposed to act like
a buffer a shield, so that's one damage you'll take three, all right?
The curse has spread further into my face and the scars are glowing.
There's a little bit of blood trickling from my nose. Okay, that is
it for its turn. This last one rushes up the stairs here. You
can see this one's already kind of bloody. It probably has needle marks like
or no, this is the one that has the pox on it, and
you can see those horrible boils everywhere. Or no, buzz it was buzzing
bites. That's what he hit them with, right, yeah, I think
he killed the one that had the goblin pox last time. And this one
just has like these welts all over its face. You know, it's all
like swollen up, got horrible mosquito bites everywhere. It's all pink. And
we'll rush to your side and attack you, Malvic. Now, their special
bullshit will activate, which does not matter for this moment, but it will
try and strike you with a long sword. Ooh, twenty nine hit.
That's a great if lace is nineteen at the moment. Yep, okay,
twenty six slashing damage from this one, Malady just quickly getting overwhelmed. As
a reaction, I'd like to present my ambulet, reducing the damage by six.
Okay, that's more like them. Okay, this one will let's see
strike a second time for a twenty two to hit. Okay, and this
is for eight slashing damage. Yeah, finish the job. If you want
to kill me, we will take your things. Ar Celia, it's your
turn. I have a question. Does it look like I would be able
to skirt past this individual here? Is there's enough space on the stairs?
Yes, yep? Okay, Uh, if you are moving past, if
you are staying there to fight you, I probably ask for an acrobatics check.
I want to move past, especially since it's engaged with malas. Yeah,
I think I think that would require an acrobatics check for sure. Wait,
what does Blessed give us again? A plus one on a bunch of
shit? Should ask that a long time ago? Yes? Chat, but
I think it got pushed down. Oh it would have ben Yes, a
plus one to attack rolls. Yeah, it's attack rolls and that's it.
I thought it was sure more than that, but it's just attacking. Wow.
So would a nineteen have hit that creature that I was attacking before?
No? Okay, very good, all right, just for clarification, if
I wanted to move gear would that be one action? Yes, with an
acrobatics you just have to make an acrobatics check. Yet Okay, oh,
so you are just moving past. I think if you're just moving past to
get to there, I don't think you have to make an acrobatics it was
if you were standing there and fighting on the edge here. I don't think
I would like to move here. All right, as it is distracted,
I begin to rush past it, and what I would like to do with
my second action is to push this individual back, perhaps even trying to throw
them off of the stairs. Yeah, yeah, okay, this hobgoblin,
she was named north Keza by them you heard. Okay, you can absolutely
give that a shot. I think that will be an athletics check. Very
good, very Which one are you the boss or the one in front of
her, the one in front of Malvic? Oh okay, I'm sorry,
I thought you were trying to push the Would it be physically possible for me
to throw them off the stairs? Yeah, it's not like a super far
down or anything. It's about five feet down. But you can definitely do
that, Okay, try it would remove flat footed. So I think that
would be a very good idea as I swing around. I tried to bodily
shove this person, this hobgoblin with the twenty two athletics. Okay, okay,
that is a success. You shove them. I just want to see
how far you can push them a hundred sheet because no vessels are so big
and strong, they have different like feats that you can upgrade your shoves with.
Oh minor regular. Yeah this was not a crit, but you did
get a success. You can push them back five feet, which is enough
to get them there and still remove the flat footed for this situation, so
have one more action. They sort of stumble back like waving their arms.
Okay, oh man, pour actions will be great. Right now, For
my last action, I'll move in the spot to avoid the guy just moving
forward. That will be my turn rash talk, Yes, I will go
now, all right, what can I do? I also very badly need
a rest. Yeah, no kidding. So I think that this will be
an opportitude time too, potentially mm hmmm, No, I can't do that.
Mm hmmm. I believe this will be anop fortune. Time to use
a rousing splash on Malavic and you will see this water begin to coalesce from
the mosquitoes that's around me, and then they will form water above Malavic and
blast you with a cold, refreshing splash of water. You're welcome. Yeah,
that is for a bunch of temp HP. What is that I've been
imagining this whole time, Like whenever Yara uses rousing splash, it's kind of
like sparkling water, and when ros Talk does, it's just swamp water,
stanky swamp water. Okay, I should learn one for drugs. Okay,
alrighty uh. And then h O rash Talk will use his other two actions
to cast real frost. Todds the goblin that is about to fall off,
and eleven, I will I have three arrow points. I will use one
at twenty eight for seven cold damage. You see a rash Tak stick his
finger out and this swirling cold begins to form around his fingers. As a
as this array of frost spreads across this creature, you can see the creature
like grabbing at the areas that are freezing up. They begin to freeze up
and they just fall off the edge. It's a short fall, but it's
still hilarious. And now it is a new round. North Keza's turn seeing
or Celia rush into a position uh north kesa will. I think we'll move
here and we'll fire a crossbow at uh are. It's gonna be Yara and
uh they will also be reloading, so this is their only action here with
crossbow. Oh never mind, I'm sorry, she's got some bullshit. Hold
on, have some bullshit? Is it some oracle killing bullshit? I love
if that we keep calling it bullshit, And just in my mind, I
imagine there's a section of the character sheets that's just say bullshit. Now it's
my it's my thing. I believe I have I haven't. I have invented
it. I've been doing it ever since I've I've been doing role playing,
and I like to think it will be my legacy moving forward. Everyone calls
it I got some character bullshit. Yeah, uh no. They have a
special thing called running reload, so they actually get to reload as they move.
Oh okay, and they will fire a crossbow as you twenty six to
hit. Oh yes, that's hit. Not a critical though. Oops,
first one? Why did that roll? Sorry, that is the wrong thing.
Let's try this again. Ooh five plus in the eight thirty thirteen damage
with their crossbow precision you see this bolt sail past the goblins threading the needle.
You're not even really paying attention to that specifically this goblin moving. You're
maybe keeping an eye on a rash talk and the thing that he just did,
and the crossbow just nails you like right in the rib like god.
And then let's see move they reload at the same time fire, and then
I think they will demoralized. I think they're gonna, uh, sort of
yell towards towards you are, Celia, she says. She says, drop
all your things and let you leave alive. I will, and this will
be a will save very good. What did he say for you're all that?
Okay using a hero point. Okay, uh, our Celia, you
were not affected by this? I turned to her and I say no.
She sort of recoils like as she just maybe you just like straighten up just
a little bit, like you're fully imposing height. It's a much weaker growl,
but she tries to growl back. Soakawachi, Sakawachi, will, I
think, probably be a little bit scared and try and get away here,
Uh, Sakawachi is going to move, probably rushing behind a rash talk and
she just tried to kill since he just killed one of these hobgoblins. And
as she does so, she's going to take an attack of opportunity from the
one uh that was right next to Malvic. Okay, this will be a
long sword attack. As Sakawachi moves, ooh that is a that is a
I think that's a crip. Nope, not a crit whoa hurry see then
mm hm for seven slashing damage. As she's running, she gets sliced across
the back from this well trained hobgoblin. Okay, Malvic, it is your
turn. Mhm. Which one was it? That's hit me harder? I
will turn around and I was like, because it's you now, we'll go
for this one. I will slash out of the great sword miney mo,
twenty seven. That is a hit for fifteen slashing damage. Spill it's blood,
yeah, and I will slash yeah twenty seven, Oh my mad take
a five from that twenty two and you're the same one yep. Okay,
god damage. What jeez, that is a hit? How do you kill
him? I decapitate it, but as I do it, I catch that
in my hand and throw it at the feet of the one in front of
me. Okay, well it's so fucking metal, Holy moly, you're next.
Don't go anywhere. And I take my hand and I grab it by
the throat and I'm going to attempt to grapple it. Okay, eighteen eighteen.
I think that is not a success, but my mean chat makes it,
breaks it. You got him. I'll grab it and I'll type to
my crip and pain goes away as I smile and lick my lips. Ye
looking. You hear in north kesa scream in the background. Karun is your
turn? And does the one right next to me? I have it?
I'm sorry, uh no, that was the third action. And I forget
to add blessed to any of that, but that's okay. This the one
who's dead right next to me, have any crossbow bolts? Does it look
like he has a crossbow? Oh? Make a perception checklist, man,
No, oh, no, eception. I perceive that he's dead. You
can see he's definitely got like a bunch of stuff on him, but there's
no like easily accessible crossbow bolts. There is a quiver that must have had
arrows, but there there's no arrows there, all right, And she wouldn't
help you anyway. You need bolts, right? Does he have any other
easily accessible weaponary? Uh? Yeah, there is a long sword on the
ground. Oh. No, freaking thing is bigger than I am. All
right, that's fine. Uh, I will leave. I will go this
way with one movement and deploy the leader to get down. Okay, absolutely,
there's two actions, and then you can uh, yeah, you can.
You can be down here if you want to be. I would be
down here, sure, and I will also take cover while I am down
here. I'm not running away you guys. I'll be right there. Okay,
uh, Yara, it's your turn. Ah, Seeing how badly Malevic
has been attacked in these previous turns, I will go ahead and I will
start to imbue some of my herbs and what not myselves with some magical energy
as I rush forward, and I will do battle medicine on Malevic at an
expert level for twenty eight points of healing or no. For yes, for
twenty eight points of healing total. But it would have been a crit actually
I believe no, it would not be a crit. Twenty eight points of
healing total for Malvik. Okay, you will feel the herbs start to kind
of soothe all of your wounds and they'll start to close on themselves. Very
good, Please start a bit of fucking do something with this thing once.
All right, Then I will go ahead and I will take the remainder of
the cells and I will begin to rub them on my wounds as well doing
treat Wound Center an expert level for myself for at twenty seven, which will
be twenty points of healing as well. Wow, very nice. Uh yeah,
that's just crazy. And this is this is all one action you get
to do. Yeah, they are both one action. Okay. Battle medicine
is awesome, but you the thing is, once you use it, you
cannot use it again for the rest of the day. Gotcha. But I
do have an exception for one person. Gotcha? Okay, all right,
very well, the Hobgoblin that is currently grabbed is going to try to escape
the grab as best as possible. So this will be I think, just
and tested athletics roles twenty three, twenty one and trying. I believe I
have to be in healed by our I don't even have to look back to
know what's happening. My strength comes even more invigorated and fiery, and I'm
just tightening my grip on his throat. Is I'm being healed at the same
time. Yep, I'm gonna keep trying to break your grip, trying again
fourteen and another one. Twenty two, Hey makes it breaks it finally breaking
free with the last of its its actions, which is not gonna help it
worms some fingers in and pulls yours apart as maybe it gets in like a
kick to your shins, as these escapes from your grasp, falling to the
ground, taking deep breaths, looking a bit wide eyed, or Celia,
it's your turn. Very good. I would like to move closer to the
leader here. I would perhaps even move one further down, but I think
that's the edge of the map, essentially. I want to cut them off,
So I'll run forward with one action, and with my second I would
like to grab full of them. Okay, an athletics check, very good.
Twenty three. That is a success. You grab them. I wrangle
one of my free arms around their throat, and I hold them in place.
Yes, she was right in the middle of like reloading a crossbow,
like putting the bolt in and like as she's looking down and put the bolt
in. You're already there, and you start to grab them and as I
lean forward, pulling her closer, I will say in her ear, I
believe it's now your turn to surrender. Ooh, make a coercion check.
This will be charisma based intimidation. Okay, my Christmas plus three fourteen Okay,
uh, she wriggles in your grasp and doesn't seem to be listening.
Very good, I believe that's all three yet. Okay. A rash talk
Uh, rash talk will point a finger at this hobgoblin next to Malevic that
has just fallen back to the ground. Good, now I don't have to
worry about hitting Malavic, and he will shoot a ray of frost towards this
hobgoblin verse sixteen. But the hobgoblin falls to the ground, and as it
does, the sort of ducks and the ray of frost shoots right past.
Unfortunate, and then I will take cover and that's it for a rash Hook's
turn. North Kesa will then trying to wriggle free from your grasp, using
acrobatics to do so twenty three versus your athletics or Celia Christine. She breaks
free, and she will then begin to why is that happening? I can't
turn nice at all. She then will try to run away and fight another
day. She begins to rush down the stairs, and as she does so,
you see the hobgoblin that is left above. Escape if you can,
but I wouldn't count on it. As north Keza leaves, the hobgoblin looks
around, realizing he's the only one left, and he looks a bit panicked.
Narth Kesa will begin to leave. Sakawachie will what can she do here?
How large is her emanation at the moment? For got you right?
Because you can expand it every turn if you wanted to, which is pretty
darn cool. Yeah, she will continue to do that. She's going to
move here, maybe here, and will yeah, extend it. Doesn't really
do much else other than that. You just feel this sort of warm,
happy sensation begins to course through you. I think this is going to reach
fifteen feet now, so just at a range of arsilia. But everybody else
gets it, Malvic, it's your turn. How far away is not?
Guessa's gone? She is pretty fast, I mean just double check fifty feet
us well, she used all of her actions. Well, she had two
actions to run two, so she is fifty feet away. Now good,
I'm going to slash it this one first. We love a bloodthirsty barbarian.
Twenty twenty is a hit. How do you killing? I run him through,
keep him on my sword because I'm not done moving. As I have
him on my sword, I'm going out the narcaster with a sudden charge.
Amazing. You dash up to twice your speed, which is fifty with these
two last actions, and you will swing. I'm saying you have a circumstance
penalty because you can gobblin your sword a circumstances bonus whatever you I mean,
it goes from being a slashing into a bludgeting. But they're not D and
D goblins. They're not like little creatures. These these are you know,
medium sized creatures. So I think it's definitely a circumstance. Yeah, it's
twenty two, blessed counts. I don't think it does, won't not anymore.
So that is a miss. As you strike, the hobgoblin goes flying
off your sword and you sort of swing. It's close. You probably fray
some of north Kes's cloak a little bit more. But she looks behind close
you are, but you will not get me this day. Technically I'm standing
right next to her. She continues running. Okay, and uh, do
you follow? I am raging? Yeah, okay, m M rip a
fucking adolf. Okay, Uh, We're gonna do a little scene here then,
oops, let me do this. So for the purposes of combat,
Malvic is chasing north Keza through these tunnels. Uh, let me readd her
to the turn order here. Okay, she had like a twenty eight on
her initiative or some shit as you were running through the tunnels. What I'm
gonna do here, Malvic, is, We're gonna do a little special minigame
thing. I shall call this whack of goblin hab a goblin. Whack of
goblin is better because my name is in it. Wow. I knew it
was coming on. I knew it predictable. So, Malvic, you begin
to chase in North Kesea. The rest of you see Malvic run off at
full speed. As this happens, Malvic, you are having some serious trouble
with your sense of direction, even though North Keza is just barely in front
of you. This is you're finding this very difficult. North keses as fast
as you are, so this is your neck and neck as you are rushing
and uh as you are rushing through these streets. Mm hmmm, uh I
need I'm gonna roll for narth Keza first. She is first in the turn
order. Here okay, yammy streets They twist and turn, not enough time
to look at the stars. As north Kesa continues to try, you see
her look up and around, trying to figure things out. She rushes down
a street and then another. You find yourself struggling to maintain the right direction,
even though you are close. Please make a survival check a tie so
you manage to keep up with narth Keza. Uh. And there's there's a
few moments where you actually stop and as you look around, you realize that
you've turned around somehow. You're going back the way that you came. North
Kesa has apparently done the same thing, though, Please roll again, survival
certainty. North Kesea makes her way down a street and then finds herself in
a dead end. Catch up to her as you approach. She sort of
looks around. This end is dead and so am I. She turns quickly
towards you, Malvic. Your sense of direction is skewed. But you see
narth Keser right in front of you, what do you do. I'm going
to rush up to her and I am going to try to slice her through.
Okay, I can attack roll. This is with fire damage. This
is a rest fifteen Okay, that is a miss. Maybe your mind is
playing tricks on you as you're rushing through the streets seeing the scenery landscape make
no sense. As you're running forward, you should be going down this way
that you were sure you were going, and it's thrown you off. Okay,
we're gonna say that you still have two actions left. I'm going to
attempt to grab this one then, okay twenty nine? Oh yeah, you
grab narth Kezo without a problem. She looks like she's trying to run past
you, and you just grab her by the wrist and pull her roughly.
I'm going as i'm helping her grab, I'm going to try to attempt to
knock her out non lethal. Okay, make an unarmed attack. Yeah,
because you have her grab so you can't use your great sword. Sixteen.
Yeah, you you try and knock her out, but she's very wriggly and
trying very hard to break your grasp. She will dodge out of the way
of this, yes, said okay, north Kesa will try and break your
grasp, and that is a rash talk chet. Let's try that again.
Okay, twelve, that rule to fifteen. Oh you just rolled that.
Okay, yeah, you hang on, She's gonna try again next twenty she
just breaks right if visit that twenty, I think you still get to roll.
Damn? Okay, yeah, she breaks free and she pushes off your
chest as she begins to run away again. Do you give chase? Yeah?
How far away? She only moved twenty five? Right, yeah,
I'm going to suddenly Okay, No, she only moved twenty five. Oh,
she only moved twenty five. You can still sudden charge if you want.
Still a good move. Yeah, that'll put me in front of her.
Okay, ooh that'sn't that one. Yeah, you go to strike and
you notice that you're back in the dead end like you just you were just
there and you turned around, you ran, and then suddenly it's ahead of
you again. You've seen narth Keza looking confused. Damn this place, Damn
this magic. I have one more. If I'm in front of them.
I caught up to them already. I'm gonna grab them again. Okay twenty
seven? Okay, you grab her again this time? Uh. As you
grab her, she wriggles for a moment and then sort of resigns herself to
this fate. But I'm going to kill me. You do kill me,
you must. I'm gonna put her to sleep, chokeold, okay, and
then I'm gonna throw over my shoulder and try to take her back to the
group. Well, I'll put her asleep. I have rope in my bag.
I'll tie her up, sure, then throw over my shoulder. Please
make a survival check. Seventeen Where was that observatory? Meanwhile, back with
the group, I'm rifling through the dead creature in front of me on the
ground out here, trying to find any kind of weaponry or notes. Maybe.
Okay, you you begin here, Yeah, you begin to try to
rifle through things. As Malvic has sort of run off, He'll be back.
What are the rest of you doing? I am surveying the landscape and
watching if the streets that Malvic has just run down have rotated in front of
us. Yes, yes they have. I look towards us Celia I think
our friend is going to have some trouble getting back. Why did he run
off? Well, when he gets in the heat of combat, he gets
a little reckless. It's very useful, but in instances like this it tends
to make him forget well, things like changing scenery in front of us.
If I turn my head, am I still able to perhaps see where it
is the street that it looked like he ran down? Is or is it
just ever changing super rapidly. It's not super rapid. It's just enough where
as soon as you think you've got the layout sorted out, like you've memorized
it, it starts to change again. And do I see the street still
or has it rotated far away at this point? No, it's still there.
Everything is like still connected. It's very much like a vertigo like sensation.
I think, what do we think it is it best for us to
just wait here for him? I do not know. This place is very
strange. This magic is illusory in nature, but I do not know.
Oh we did say that in the key, so he gets suffered, we
should come back here. So that is what Elphick is going to do.
And this place seems to be the one constant from what we can tell.
Yes, m hmm. Perhaps you do not appear constant when you are a
movement moving outside dammit, mm hmm. With the buildings, what time of
day is it? Is it nighttime? Is it daytime? Yeah, it's
nighttime, it's nighttime. Can we see the stars from here? Well?
Then just karoon is down here away from everyone. Just hey, you guys,
look up inste moving around. It's not just look up then, but
that means we are not rotating in this very specific spot. Perhaps looking at
the buildings from where I saw Malvic run to, is the observatory higher or
is it lower? Like can you see the telescope or the rooftop from sort
of like if you were to get on a building, would you be able
to see it? Probably all right, from what you have seen all of
the buildings. It's like the entire city is moving. Whenever you've got to
handle on its location, it's moving. I have an idea. What if
we set up some sort of flare or smoke stack, something to draw attention
at least directionally, or at least to get Malvik to look up. It
will possibly alert to other creatures in the area or other people in the area,
but it might better to chance it. I don't think we can possibly
leave here without him coming to us. So if we leave, there's no
way that we're going to get back together. M My doughts will very difficult
to see, Karun. Yes, you can make a perception check. Let's
see what you find. Oh good, where am i? Who are you
got any hero points you want to use? Fine, I'll use a hero
point fifteen. Okay, So you find a few things on the hobgoblins.
Each of them has a set of high armor, a long sword, short
bow, and a wooden shield. Oh no, yeah, so you do
find a total of twenty arrows around three sets of high armor, long swords
and short bows and wooden shields. All right, I'll take one of the
bows and the arrows and roll a D twenty for me seventeen seventeen gold.
Woo. I will open up my pack. Would you like to place them
in here so that we have it all ready to go if we need to
sell these later or anything like that, so you don't carry it. That
sounds good. And what about putting all of these bouties upon spikes as a
deterrent from other would be attackers? Should we pike them. That seems a
little far. Well, they're not very bright. It would be very intimidating,
that's for sure, and I'll say very horrific. Yeslia, I don't
think it'd be a good idea. From when we were on the roof,
I saw a number of roving war bands that might only encourage them or intimidate
them. They might think that a war band is trying to claim the spot,
or say something about hunting hobgoblins. Well, we kind of just did
hunt a bunch of hobgoblins, so it would be honest. At least at
least one of us is probably still hunting a hobgoblin to be honest. Mm
hmm. I will vote no on on this front. Then maybe when if
they hide the boaties, no, just leave them here? Why not them
into the ditch? Sure, listen, let's throw them in the ditch.
Well, they will begin to think soon they already stink. I'm already Karoun
is already dragging one by the foot. I don't think they'll stink tootor it's
near freezing out, but I will help. I'll pick one not and move
it with the others. M I will be keeping my eyes peeled for Malavik?
Any signs of him where you stink? Where you are? Mm hmmm
are there any higher advantage points from where I am at present? Not outside?
I mean you can. You can do the same thing you did before
and climb the telescope. I think I will do that. I will go
inside and I will see if I can notice anything. I will also follow
and I will be charting the stars above us. Yeah, Sakawachi will actually
help you out with that. Okay. Yeah, as you say the stars,
this is a very good idea. They do not appear to be magically
affected by whatever spell does this. I can help you. I am an
astronomer. Oh really, yes, I will help you search the stars.
Who would have thought the ruler of the observatory is also an astronomer? Yes,
of course that would be lovely, ah or rastalk darling. Yes,
I will pull out my mace, oh my morning star. But you cast
light upon this, okay, yes, and I currently have it upon my
staff. Do you need this or can you use your shield? Oh?
I think my shield might be dim light. Let me see it is dim
light? I think for twenty Yes, I'll need a bit of a brighter
light. I'm going to try and make some sort of a signal light for
him. Perhaps it'll draw his eye. Oh that is a good idea.
I will stay by, otherwise my vision will be very useless, very good.
So you begin to head atop the observatory and Sakawachi will sort of do
this thing where she uses the telescope and you have the ladder I think,
right next to the telescope, and you are just kind of trying to uh
chart the stars. Now, Sakawachi has star charts, so this isn't like
a super difficult thing to do. With Sakawachi's help, you kind of get
a general idea of the stars from what Sakawachie tells you. Uh, it
appears that it will still be quite difficult to navigate using the stars, but
it is probably your best bet. Meanwhile, Alavic Goblin in hand, you
are so lost, am I? I thought I traveled down this street.
I try to track my footsteps. It's it's cold here, it's it's snowy.
There's maybe like an occasional flurry m hm, and maybe some like wind
will blow some snow like off roofs and things. So it does that shitty
thing where like the wind will blow and all the snow from a top of
roof will just fly off and land on you. Mhm, not enough for
tracks. So I try to look down and to see if there's any tracks.
Uh. Nothing, mostly cobblestone streets. Yeah, I do have cuts
and scrapes. I try to look for blood, but I'm pretty sure though
the cold weather would get rid of that pretty quickly. Just looked like that.
M I will just take a got a knife or something I'd add in
my uh my waists dagger and try to like etch into the side of a
building to try to mark where I was and keep looking. I occasionally look
up and take a breath. And I mean I'm not dumb to nature or
anything, so I would always look up. I do know about I don't
know much about astronomy, but I do know how to track and follow clouds
or the position of the moon is nighttime? Right, it is nighttime?
Yes? How many moons are there? I believe there's just the one for
Galian Okay, so yeah, I would look to that. Do me a
favorite, and please make a perception check twelve okay, can make a survival
check now, Okay, oh, Malvic, this is not going well.
You are doing your best. You're leaving marks on buildings. And as soon
as you start to like walk away from a building and you walk down a
street an alley sort of like sort of manages to somehow find its way in
front of you, and you can't find the mark that you left. Damn,
I'll look up again. Is the moon in the same place it was
before? No, it's in a different place. Maybe you took too long
before you looked at the sky again. This is this is ridiculous. Who
can keep track of this? I will keep trying to trot forward. Has
the bright lights that Rostock and I are channeling up above kicked in yet?
Oh it has, Malvic has not seen it setting. Yeah, We'll just
keep going and trying to look up constantly to attract the moon. That's like
my one source, the only thing that I know that is singular in the
sky. And with that, if the moon has moved, I am no
longer ranging. So I am thinking logically, I would always walk towards the
moon very well and just constantly check where I am to deduce Do I smell
anything like water or there? Yeah? I mean that there are a millunge
of smells here smells like blood. Some creatures, lots of sense of a
varying folk. Yeah, I'll just keep walking and looking up towards the move.
Okay, after a while, and I mean, awhile two hours malvic,
you are trying to find your way back. Eventually you hear a gasp
nearby. Make a perception check twenty four. Darting behind a building, you
see a young man dressed in thick seal skin clothes similar to sakawachies. There's
no sense in hiding. See you smell you do kill me? Please nor
clothing, tribal leather armor, this sort of seal skin leather. And then
you see a pair of hail skinned humans clad in leather armor and gray furs
step out from the shadows. How do they perceive me with me being a
seefling? Is how I'm going to react. Yeah, they sort of look
a bit quizzically at each other, and then they look towards you. They're
definitely talking and they begin to approach. They don't look hostile. I'll bend
my knees. I still have this gulp that's gun on my shoulder, but
I'll down and have one hand out and just ready for any interception of whatever
they're going to try to do. He has a hobgoblin one of the old
Raiders. I think that is north Keza upon his shoulder. Yes, it
does look like that, jor of hell. What business do you have here?
No business of yours, just trying to find a way back. This
one was causing trouble, so I took care of it, and I need
to get back to my group immediately. Are you with the Absidian Outh Raiders?
I don't even know what that is. They were hobgoblins that attacked us.
Yes, they are mercenaries. They try to well, they are trying
to loot this place, but like the smiling wolves, they will kill anyone
that they run into and take what they have. Mm hmm. So do
I notice that they are dressed the same as psychology they So they are not
They're not one of them. One of them is, and this is very
obvious to tell. This is a They have a sort of tribal look to
their to their to their clothing. And there's trains in this town apparently,
and the uh, the other two are in gray leathers. I will speak
to that one. He looks similar to the one that I was with,
one that you were with? What do you mean? I do not know
if I could trust the others. The one that I was with seems to
not want to trust many, but for some reason they trusted me. Whom
do you speak of? One I was named Sakawachi Sakawachie. Yeah, we'll
take a step back. How long ago protecting her? And if you are
trying to go after her, I will do my best sid protector. Even
here, I am her escort. My name is Inuma. Oh. These
are these two. They are mercenaries. We are mercenaries, but we are
not like the old raiders. Do not work, We do not seek blood.
We are simply here for the opportunity to well. This place was sitting
here and well, our leader said that it would be a good opportunity for
us to make some coin. I am Jor. If this is Yanna,
hello, I think I was stand up to my full height and I would
melevick. But we must hurry back to my group. I do not know
if more have come. I don't know what they call it. A place
with the telescope of some sort. I was looking for it. That's this
turned around at the observatory. Then we can take you there. Your friends
are there as well, and is there yeah, yes, oh, I
am so glad you're still alive. The last I checked she was. I
dispatched ale of the have goblems that were there and chase this one down the
streets and at last, Yes, there is some sort of illusion magic here.
We use the stars to help us. But it can be very difficult
and very well. If you will let us, we will assist you and
returning to the observatory. If you wish, you and your friends can join
us at our camp. We are well. We can take you there if
you wish. I need to get back to them. I do not have
a choice. I'll just look up at the moon once again. Yes,
it can be extremely confusing with the streets turning. If you are not looking
up all of the time, you get very turned around. It is difficult,
but we will work together and we will make this happen. Yanna,
if you could lead the way, you are best at this. Yes,
I will lead the way, and the four or five of you, I
guess, with north Kesa as a sack of potatoes, begin make your way
back towards the observatory, doing anything else along the way. I'm taking them
being very observant of how the one is reading the stars, I guess,
and how they're navigating along with keep an eye up these mercenaries, taking measure
as a warrior would do, trying to find out there's strengths their weaknesses,
if one is limping or favoring a certain side, a certain hand of twitching
motion and their fingers, stuff like that. Yeah, they're they're pretty competent
mercenaries. You can give me, Uh, do you have any like I
will take society, or I will take lare related to history, or I
just have legal lore whatever that is. Yeah, I don't think that'll right.
It's hilarious. Malevich the Raging Lawyer. Why is there a viewership for
t law? Is my law? All right? Society? It is a
Titton Okay, Actually yeah, I'll leave it alone. Man, I really
wanted to hit that. Sure, so you can make a general perception check
if you'd like, for uh, for some stuff about them twenty one.
Yeah, they're they're competent. They're they're like decent mercenaries, you know,
like the hobgoblins were like regimented. They're they're not like regular goblins. They're
they are proficient with weapons and stuff, and they know how to move tactically,
like they did surround you when they realized that you were a threat.
And these mercenaries, they are cautious of their movements, They're cautious of their
environment. They're looking around a lot. One of the one known as Joraff
is keeping an eye on the ground and sort of like relaying information back to
to Yana, who is navigating by the stars and sort of getting you guys
back to the observatory, which will take about uh eight minutes from where you
were. So as the rest of you is stupid, as the rest of
you are on top of the observatory looking out for things. I have given
the book over to the ruler of the observatory, and I am underneath,
back down below by the telescope and a hammock, and I'm sleeping. Sure
Sakawashi would be on the telescope, you know, looking through the spyglass and
link keeping an eye out on the stars and whatnot. And I'm letting the
ruler do all of the work. Yara, are you still up above,
ar Celia, I would have spent time definitely healing everyone as well as refocusing,
but I'm sure there would be time left over, so I would be
rotating with Rostock so that he might refocus as well and take care of whatever
it is that he has to. Sure, yes, it would be refocusing
and most appreciating that you have. Thank you, Yarah. Of course,
can you look at my wound as well? Of course, well throughout all
of this time. Would you like us a rule for all of this or
do you believe we have enough time just to have a two hours? So?
I think I think you're you're all healed up. Um, so I
don't think anybody's on top of the roof to notice I am well actually okay,
yes, what I will be doing as soon as my wounds are dressed.
It's important to me to know what the immediate surroundings are, like,
I want to keep an eye out and know exactly when Malvik comes into sight
begins to make a perception check. Whop. Yeah, I think that is
enough. It takes you a little while, like focus, you know,
it's it's become really annoying to do this. It's like it's really confusing to
your brain and your like equilibrium and stuff. You probably have to take breaks
regularly, but walking up to the observatory you see Malvic and three others approaching.
Malvic has a hobgoblin with an orange red cloak of furs tossed over his
shoulder as he is walking towards the observatory. He's here, he's back,
he's back, not of me as and I will begin to come. As
you approach the doors, Malvic, you can hear some yelling inside. You're
here, stay outside. Let me allow myself to let them know who you
are before bulging in. Yes, as long as watch you come with me.
Yes, mercenaries, no disrespect. Well we're not that busy. Nollah
rap on the door. M I helped yank it open, and I presume
I'm not alone. Now, I'll be right with you. I am bought
a gift. Now just like walk in and when I when I move,
watches escort would be there. Watchee. She looks in Numa, Numa,
and they rush towards each other and embrace. There others outside if you want
to let them in. No, no, no, no, there are
other mercenaries sing move. Where are the others? I do not know?
Mm hmmm, all I'll juster the mercenaries to come in, and I will
pull our group to the side and lay down nes Gusta nes Casa guess her
name is. Yeah, I'll lay them down. I won't drop them,
I'll lay them down. They say, not dead, unconscious. You can
ask questions. Yeah, there's like a wicked black eye that's formed. And
shall we try and tie them up? Then? Is anyone good? At
times? Already tied and I've already taken the weapons whatever they ad so on
north Keza, make a perception check for me, please, Malvic forty eight?
Whoa empties pockets burns are upside down? Okay, on north Keza,
roll me two D twenties please Malovic already because that was a create thirteen and
eleven. Okay. Uh, So you find twenty four gold pieces? Uh
you find mm hmmm wordedgah. You find a crossbow, twenty bolts, a
set of scale mail, a short sword, and that's it. So I'll
just unpack what I had in my pack because I can't have it on me
and me and encumber me, and I'll just dump this stuff on the ground
and I'll throw the sack of gold to our cilia, and then I'll just
kind of like slam against the wall and slide down. I've been walking for
two hours. I'm tired, the rage is depleted, and I'm over exhausted.
You're not walking the streets. I don't know what's going on. That
one over there, and I'll point at the one that Chartered knew where they
were going. You're pointing outside to the two smiling wolf mercenaries. Yeah,
make it back. It'll be rude not to let them in. Do not
own this place? They said something about a camp, and I believe I
don't know about you, but I do not want to be any longer than
I have to. Oh your wounds? Are you able to proceed? We
didn't look too bad last night. Scratches right? Well, I mean I
could use some healing, but if it's just from moving from one place to
another, that's what it is. I have like probably a couple of deep
gashes on a thigh in uh, possibly across the shoulder, and I don't
do this. I'll let the mercenaries and please take care of Malvic. Do
we think we'll be taking some time to speak before we head off? Looking
at everyone, I think we should talk a little, but in case we
get separated, right and malevich while we speak, how about I tend to
you, all right, And before I do that, I will hug you.
I will whisper we were very worried about you. I'm glad you were
safe. I'll look down. I guess you could see like a little blutch
come up and it was fine. And then I'll stop and I'll say,
oh, thank you for worrying. I shouldn't have ran off, but an
opportunity was present and we didn't. I'll try to make excuses, but there's
no excuse. I was reading. That is okay. As I'm walking away,
I'll grab your shoulder, Malifick and I'll say, good hunting, all
done, m And I'll submit to yaa all right, and I will work
on him for the next ten minutes whilst whatever discussion goes on happens. Okay,
outside, mae Celia, you walk up to the smiling both mercenaries.
Well, don't stand out in the cold, come on up. We thank
you for the invitation. Uh, you are an orc and the fiefling together.
Oh, there are a number of interesting Yes, an entire party.
They mentioned something about a camp. Is that where you are from? Yes,
so we have a camp. If we judge that you are that you
mean us no harm, we can bring you to meet with our leader mats
hm hm. And so you stumbled upon your guide. Is that what happened?
Ah? Well, we have learned helped to navigate this place, but
we have run into this numa and they stumbled upon our camp. Hmmm.
Well come on in, let's get your boots form dry. Perhaps rash talk
can make you something. As I let them pass through the threshold, I
would like to eyeball them, essentially, try to see if I notice any
symbols, any heraldry, anything that might be indicative of an organization. Sure,
you can make a I will take history society. Okay, what this
aciety unless gonna do? Esthetic? I don't think this is gonna count hm.
When to reroll at? Okay, twelve, reroll to an eight.
Nice. Yeah, you don't really know much about them. They're they're pretty
plain looking in terms of what they wear. There's nothing that screams out at
you like any sort of heraldry or anything. They're certainly not knights. Mhmm.
Do they look well maintained? Do they look like professional mercenaries or crops?
They are a bit scruffy, but you can tell more with a perception.
Chank, make a perception, chank for me. Okay twenty four.
Okay, there's scruffy, but they seem very competent, very good. I
will speak out to Rashtak. Can we get something warm in their bellies?
We only have a few minutes before we should go, but they DESI like
to shake off the snow against start preparing something. Yes, good, Well,
we happened upon our own guide. As you can see here, we've
been looking at the stars waiting Malavik's return. Thank you for turning him to
us. He's very important. It was not much of a bother. Plus,
there is a possibility that Matt's will want to speak with you, regardless
if you are also mercenaries. There is a possibility that we may be willing
to work with you. But again that is not my place to say.
Matts is our leader. We are not mercenaries, particularly with an organization seeking
information, and I myself am a diplomat of the Mathcar tribe of the Burning
Sun clan Burning Sons. Hmm. I did not know that there were any
in this part of the world. It has been an initiative of my people
to expand and try to seek out new reaches. Is that why you're here?
You thought to meet with the People's SkyWatch. It is not exactly why
we are here, but you can say that we had a set of unfortunate
circumstances have landed us here. We do intend to go back home at some
point, but for now it seems they're people missing and they are perhaps the
need of help. Pretty well, we shall eat in the if you wish
to return with us to the Smiling Wolf camp. Yanna, do you agree
they seem they do not mean any harm yet? Number us, we do
not mean harm now. We do not choose violence generally, depending on the
circumstance. We try to speak with those we meet as much as we can.
Please, sit, drink, eat. If you hand me your shoes,
we'll get a small fire going. They join you to sit and eat.
This is Yanna, I am dof We are of the Smiling Wolves.
We are sorry if we have interrupted anything that you are doing here, but
we are searching this place for we were assisting this one with looking for their
companions and trying to find any loot. Of course, that we might have
run across. There is one more missing. Two. Numa speaks up and
says, there are three more of my of our companions that are missing.
Yes, the other escorts I had four In total, there were four Uma
here is our most well traveled guide and most talented explorer and forager and weather
forecaster. Then there was Denigi, she is our finest hunter, and her
Mak our chronicler. And lastly there was Ullikuk, our astronomer. I am
also an astronomer, but Ulli Cook is our best sailor. M well.
Did not come across any of them while trying to navigate those streets. But
this one here should be waking up anytime now. I would have propped them
up in a chair and wrote them in a chair. Yes, this will
be very useful, ool, But you have here. I am sure that
Matts would pay you well for this capture of this one. This is,
we believe, the second in command of the Obsidian Old Readers. They are
other mercenaries, the goblins. They they kill most people they run across,
though mhm, but aut less. We wouldn't waste time looking if they are
already dead. And then I looked towards Sawat and miss a little bit.
I mean that in a good way. I just kind of go back,
put a hand on your shoulder. Me. No, har no not,
and I'll stand up and walk over to North Casa and I'll probably bring our
cilia with me or Jester, M. I come, it's been a while.
We have leftover food. We have a little bit of extra food,
and we would need another a day to have any more from the sack.
M M good. You can always tempt with food. Everything knows how to
speak that language. And I will do you have any smelling salts anything?
Or I would look through my medical bag. I'm most certainly shot. There
are some of these herbs to put people to sniep ha, Yes, smelling
salts? Are you are? M I'll wave it in front of the nose
of the captured poison. You'll try to poison us? No, no,
like a fetid cat. You've been out for a while, And I'll just
play them contain no food and I'll wave that in front of them. You
intend to eat us? You do? Are you hungry? We don't mean
any harm. Look, you came upon us and you assaulted us. We
have questions. We do not intend to kill you unless you prove entirely uncropperer
you are or why are you with them? I am part of the Burning
Sun clan, Burning Sun, Yet you are here. You are strange.
Strange one's tall and put my hands on my hips. My people intend to
go as far as they need to. I was told your kind of intelligent,
more intelligent than what people give you credit for. You don't want to
piss her off. We have some questions. Depending on how you answer them,
you will get to eat or keep. Your throat will possibly be treated.
If you are quite injured. I'll take a piece of whatever food is
in the thing and neat it, just to show them as not poisonous.
Yeah, plumacy check. Oh I should not do that, and I help.
I'd be like god, hm hmm, okay, don do you find
so much better? I guess I will help? Yeah, hungry, I
am What do you seek? This is your forte and do better at cutting
and braking? What are your people doing here doing? I understand that this
is a lucrative opportunity here, yes, but what you do and things?
What happened? Why did this place suddenly become accessible? We do not know.
The gate's open, and so the city lies empty. Coffers for the
taking items in our bags. Did you see the day the gates opened?
No hard things we did? Does? She seemed to be sincere throughout this
conversation. Whilst Cecilia is speaking with them, make a perception check twenty,
I think. So tell me about your war band you are North Qussa.
Whom do you serve for a bite? I will tell you a talgic pulling
the food. Mmm, I'll tear off what is it? Is it?
Hen? What is it? Oh? It would probably be some sort of
jerkie. I think a fish jerkie. Mm hmm, okay, yeah,
I'll rip a piece off and like dangle it above them and I'll drop it
in their mouths and I put my fingers and he there. Yeah, dry
it is, but food it is also we have a drink off. So
but there's more questions answered. Answer the question. I serve one of the
best of hobgoblins, the quick one Godrick. Do I recognize this name as
someone who's killed a lot of Hoggartlands in the war. Ummm, you can.
I don't know what you're rolling here. I'm gonna say it is probably
society or I mean, history is significantly more appropriate, but you don't have
I also have law warfare as well, if that would be any help.
Sure to make the role well, which I don't want to take the rule
from you. If you pickable. I have a plus six society. That's
all I got. Seventeen never heard of them. I'll look to what Celia
shake my head, hm hmm. How big is your war band? We
are not a hard if that is what a large orc means. As someone
who probably knows what a hard means, what does a hard mean? It's
a lot, okay, but like a thousand or a hundred or fifty.
Yeah, it's a lot of thousands. Yeah, okay, where did you
come from? Okay, we'll give you a drink and food if you ask
aarncer. Another point to look at our cityan point to psawat and escort.
They're travelers. Is missing one of them? If they came by them,
killed them? Answer this and you'll be rewarded. I'll just relay that over
the laser and then oh yeah, do well with speaking. I just want
to bash yeah as you gesture o verse, did you come across any of
the others of their kind? Uh? Please make a diplomacy check Okay.
Would Malavik be able to assist as he is participating in the conversation, Yeah,
I'll try. There you go, I'm not really diplomatic. Uh.
If one cannot tell the difference, do they seem to be lying? Make
a perception check twenty four You don't think so, I'll give a drink and
food. Are you're telling the truth? I believe, mm hmm. Drop
whatever we have. I don't know what it is, water ale, I
don't know. We have them drop it in their mouths and probably just water.
Uh, wait for them. And then like then I noticed that I'm
feeding this thing, and I get really irritated. Yeah, yeah, cling
yard, just kind of leaning back every time you feed. This is like
the opposite of how things normally go. Ship out of this guy drug them
over here, and now you're feeding that. Just keep constantly looking back at
you two, like I have to keep doing this, like you great?
Yes, A Rash said, I'll just come up and keep doing it,
and I guess and I pull a wing and answer the questions. Go all
right, looksi aa mm hmm, how well do you know the streets of
this place? You've been here some time looting us with your war band.
This one knows some things, but not many. It is still hard to
find ways here. Are there any buildings of interest that you know of?
Mhm, make an intimidation check somebody. There's also to the background. I'll
do it. I'm looking right at I mean, I'm right in front of
them. If you guys want me to, yeah, yeah, it no
contest twenty four. I can blacken the other eye if it don't much too
much, you feed. We come from Daga Mark. We look to established
a new sheet of power for our order. We have set up a base
in an abandoned guard post northwest. Mm hmm. They probably have supplies they
like to looten. So do we hold out a map? Tyl us exactly
where it is? You don't have a map? Point to or Ashtark out
your map? Yeah, or Rashtak doesn't have a map of SkyWatch. Oh
oh, so he was speaking within sky Watch in terms of where they set
up or they were speaking of Ah, okay, you all know where Daggermark
is. You were there? Yay? Oh I wasn't. They were northwest?
You say, And how do you know it is northwest? When this
place is ever changing? The best guess, do not speak of the little
things. The mercenaries are in here, correct, Yeah, I'm sitting here
watching the old thing. Duca is the one that could read the stars,
can tell their way. I hope they're listening. I'll shove more food in
their mouth. All I know you let me go, you will let them
go. I will not kill you, at least not now. We still
have use for you. And I look back at towards the mercenaries or liber
maths would be happy to get a hold of this one. You will make
sure that you don't get cold or get killed. You were coming with us,
then, depending on what happens there depends on your fate. So I
suggest that you cooperate. She's just kind of like looking around, like at
each of you, so many more of you than her, Like she's just
like doing the math clearly, like there's I think eight of you. I
think now that reminds you what I did to your companions. Now there's nine
of you. Yeah, she looks resigned. All right, Well, we
should finish packing and get ready to head out. Is a good idea.
It is easier to move night. You can see the stars, and if
we are lucky at will not be cloudly. Mm hmm, all right,
I'll don't take this one. I'll stuff my handkerchief into Narquessa's mouth. Let's
she doesn't scream into the night. Very well, you're going to pack up
karun Is it's just asleep on the ground. I will gently cradle Karun in
my arms as we head out. My chance. Any of these hobgoblins that
we killed, do they have any furs that I might be able to use
as it is quite cold? They did not, unfortunately. They Yeah,
they had hide armor, so they have its hides, but you know,
nothing, nothing like large furs or anything. You would all be definitely feeling
the cold bye now for sure if you do not have cold weather gear or
or resistant to cold like some, but you would be feeling it. So
you gather your things up. Do you follow Joro Finiana the smiling voice camp.
I think before we set out, though, I would ask whether or
not they have any extra gear to keep myself and anyone else who might be
very cold in this weather for us to stay warm. Otherwise I will be
wrapping myself very tightly in my cloak. We did not bring anything ex to
throat with us, but we might have some things in Camp Recott. Right,
So I have a question. If I'm resistant the cold damage, does
that make me resist the cold the cold damage? M h yeah, okay
cool. I read dragon draconic Barber very well. As you begin to make
your way through the strange, magical, illusionary streets of Skyline, never mind,
I'm resistant to fire. Yeah it should be fire. I was like,
yeah, I was, I'm not a blue dragg right. Joroff and
Yanna lead the way. Essentially, you head east as best as you can
tell towards the river, eventually making your way towards this camp. As you
approach this rustic encampment, and Yana let out a loupine howl that's picked up
throughout the camp. As the call dies down, a tall, lean man
with a thick head of hair and a scruffy beard merges from the largest tent
with a grin yourf Yanna, welcome back. I see you have brought friends
and guests. It is good to see you. There is a brief like
bro hug like moment that happens as Joroff and Yanna both acknowledge matts it is
good to see you. Have you brought any loot for me any treasures aside
from these lovely people. Matts begins to walk around the group, sort of
assessing like each of you. You can see that there is clearly like a
very oysterous and like very sort of happy, very flirtatious look about. This
guy is looking about all of you and sort of nodding and yes, some
very nice treasures you have brought here. It is nice to meet you.
I am Martz Balandin, leader of the Smiling Wolves. How tall are they?
He's probably about six foot tall something like that. Sure, so you
can see him because he's taller than six feet running joke. Sorry, uh,
I got it, just don't appreciate it. So, yeah, he's
sort of circling about. Ah, and who are you? Who are these
people that have joined my camp? Mhm, First, I want to know
how much you want for this one? And I'll nudge, yeah, gobblin
for because I'm tired attending to it, so I'm like fed up with it.
I'll gently put a hand on Malvick's shoulder. What my companion means to
say is that we are excited to meet you. I am mar Celia.
This is Malvic I am a rushtak and uh, I am holding like a
baby. Who I aren't this Karn? We are tired. I shake her
in a little bit to get her to stop. Story make up, make
up, Karen Darling. I try to put kron on their feet and shake
their shoulders. Clarien Skitter's back up like a tree. The orc, all
right, is a very interesting cat you have. I have never seen one
like it. It is very interesting. Yeah, can we get out of
the cold? Why? Yes? Where are my manners? Sit by the
fire? If your Veniana have said that you are welcome, and you are
most welcome at my camp, as long as you maintained that snow arm,
do you it depends mouth quickly and looked down. Yeah, I grow my
handswer for all. I can't touch you. I am chattering like a little
child in the snow with my arms wrapped across me. No harm intended,
whatsoever? Hm hm, very well. You can see Matt's lingering. Look
stay on you, Malvic mm hmm. Sure I'm doing the same, or
Celia, make a perception check for me. Yeah, I'm I'm voling the
ship these guys sure seventeen seventeen okay, uh seem pretty jovial seams welcoming.
You know they're definitely mercenaries. I mean you see weapons and stuff around.
But he sort of motions towards the towards the brazier. This bonfire that's lit
up, it's very warm. I'll put Karoon down on a dry spot,
try to gently set her. As we're moving, I will lean towards s
Maleovic and say slowly, we're in their territory, so we should play nice.
Mm hmm, fine, fine, I understand. It's just every time
I turned around, someone's attacking us. It's all right, I've got your
back. You know. I'm not going to be mean, and I'm not
going to yank them nothing. But I'll tug on the rope to help them
come along. But I'm not I'm not going to be in like a overly
disrespectful manner. Sure, and when we all sit down, I'll set the
goblin down as a normal person, but I'll be next to it and I'll
have my uh hand wrapped around the rope. So what brings you to SkyWatch?
Oh? I look to Assyria and back at them. Quite a journey.
A lot of things, but accidental things, possibly also on purpose things
Celia, you probably are better explaining these things. We seem to have a
shared trait with these And I gesture over to you a guide and the astronomer.
Ah, that is good shirt, faith is nice. The particulars are
beyond me. I care nothing for them. All that matters is the moment.
You must live life. You must enjoy it. You must be with
someone and have a warm bed together. You must be happy when things go
bad, you must be happy when things go well, because it is all
life. This is the way I think. Is that why you're called the
smiling rule? Yes, I see now, mm hmm. Well, we
are low on supplies and very low on sleep. Can we trust you to
watch over us as we share your fire? Try to catch our breast.
Trust is an interesting thing. I, for one, believe that trust is
earned, not as fair beyond fair, our Cilia, and like looking at
looking at her and looking at the like, I don't want this ship anymore.
Like I'm getting irritated, and I'm trying to hold my composers some I
guess I'm gripping my leg ard at this point in the frustration. So perhaps
we can offer a gift. We seem to have come across a meddlesome of
course, someone of use to you. This is me to believe to be
Narcza. Yes, it does have a striking resemblance to one of the all
three readers. Match looks down at r Kesa and says, is this a
gift for me? More like a trade as this is I understand. Of
course, if you are willing to part with this one, you are most
welcome in the camp. We will take good care of you, and we
have food that we are willing to share as well, fresh fish, very
good right from the river. Oh, look towards are and I say you
have first clothing to keep? Yes, yes, if you are not used
to the cold here here from Revoy, then it will be most difficult.
We can brustle up some some winter clothing for you, if that is what
you need. I will quietly, not gratefully towards manevigant towards Matt. I
have one question, though, what do you intend to do with market?
Well? That matters, you see, because we are we are very interested
in learning what kind of treasures they might have. We do not go seeking
bloodshed, but we will take care of ourselves if we must. But if
they have themselves very good supply of loot, or perhaps if they have any
of our missing people, then that will depend on her. I'll reach down
and take the handkerchief out of her mouth. Choke me she does. Perhaps
you'd like to be forthcoming with the requests of those here guys is looking around,
looks at Matt's like leans in, smiling. You can see he's got
like pronounced canines. Hello, welcome to my camp. It is nice to
meet you in North Geza, at least a close and personal Now. I
think we have much to discuss for now, we eat, we rest,
we drink. Ah hmm. You look so tired all of you. I
am interested to think about what you have been through. Yes, very interested,
especially any of you. If any of you are interested in maybe sharing
my bed tonight, I like to keep it warm, if you know what
I mean. All right, excellent? Anyone else he's looking around. He's
just smiling, wider and wider this one, and you're just going to leap
in his I am just bright red looking between the two. Well, food
first, and a blanket for that one. He's pointing at Karoun. I
think we can scrounge up a blankety blanket. Bring some warm blows. Our
guests are called. You do not have brayvoid blood in them. I would
lose interest in dining with everyone. I don't No one else would, probably,
I don't know if anybody I would notice this. I don't personally like
my companions. Just jumping in to the bed with some random stranger, because
I have formed tribal bonds with these people and that's not something that I would
be okay with, puts them in danger. Yes, yeah, I would.
I would abruptly stand up and move away from Australia and look at Mattis
says where's the food. I'll take my first to go and I'll grab whatever
comes and grabs the food and drink a lot of drink a lot of drink
after that comment, and walk off and go sit in another area with the
camp koreum Kicky feets the blanket away you holder resistance, that's right, Perhaps
I will. Yeah, they might drink and check on how long has Karun
been asleep? Probably about three hours? Karun is dead asleep? All right,
Well see what I can find out leader here? All right, I
will squeeze our Celia's hand. You do not offend me if you do not
wish to share my bed. I just find it. It will be easier
if attraction is expressed immediately, because I've I think that life is about every
moment and you must enjoy it. My people share a similar sentiment. I
apologize, No, no, I will just go check on my colleague.
Thank you for your hospitality and for the first and whatnot, Asilia, should
you need me with Manavic and I will whisk away with some drink in hand.
Follow Yara and Nalavik malevik No, no, yes, what is it
other than all this? Fine? Fine? I think that you and I
have been through enough that we are able to read each other, maybe not
perfectly, but slightly better than that. I do not that's hatched easily to
others. I have attached. I have attached myself to you all, I
believe, and I do not want to see anyone get hurt while I'm around
or worse. And I just feel like we should have better judgment of those
that we'd share beds with. I mean, keep company with you did not
say the same thing of Geniel, is it because you already knew him quite
well? It was done, happy with it, But they were helping us
they were their own way of getting back. It also didn't seem like they
were cause too harm much. You never know Gingero did lie to us or
kept information from us. Rather, we could have ended up dead in that
place. It was upset mhm. Drink made it easier, and that's what
I'll do now. So this comes from a place of concern for our friend.
Yes, sure I am concerned as well. You want to notice with
it during this discussion, you would notice that the thought of our Celia and
that we are talking, my eyes would be glittering a little bit. What
is shitty you besides? Am nothing? Well not nothing. She's a friend,
She's a very good friend. We've been through much together. Why does
she not use any of our companions that lay with if that's what she wants?
Why strangers? We don't even know them. It can be it didn't
even seem right. Well, it could be that it is her culture.
She has made mentioned many times that she's strangers. Well, she is free
with her physical forms of well with sex, and that is just part of
how she was raised and her culture. It is not she must feel safe
to be comfortable accepting a proposition. We barely exchanged words with this one.
It was as easy as I need someone to share a bed with without even
hesitation. I thought we discussed the matters together. That's what you all told
me. Well, perhaps some I didn't want you to end up with another
drona sincident. No, sorry, perhaps I was wrong with me. I
have no idea how that happened, what happened to them that I know it
affected you. Your eyes told stories to me even through the rage, and
I don't want to see you go through that again. Everything I say is
wrong. No, no, it is not wrong. We both for our
Celia. She is our colleague, she is our friend, and it is
putting herself in a precarious position to trust someone such as this. But she
can take care of herself, and she can make her own decisions, and
perhaps perhaps it is easier to have these sort of flings. At least,
this is the way I try to rationalize it, versus, do you have
these flings? No? But I am quite different in this instance. I
was not raised in the culture that promotes such sexual fluidity, and I am
wrong. No, now you're not wrong. But if you try to think
of it, right, why is she constantly spending nights with other people rather
than someone internally. Right, it could damage a friendship, yeah, could
it not. I feel it's more damaging if she's not. But again,
cultural differences. In my tribe, we take care of our own inside.
But I never got the pleasure. Everyone's always staring at me differently, even
those that came to my aid, they were put back by my appearance.
I understand why. It doesn't matter, Manevik, you were beautiful. Ye
do not laugh. I just never been called that roof, But it is
the truth. Culture, your appearance, your your heart. You are beautiful,
adopted my appearance cursed? No, I know a thing or two about
curses, and your appearance is not cursed. And why am I like this
and not like them? Because they are all far too fucking boring Malavik.
Yeah, you do not want to be like people like that. You are
different and you are you and that is beautiful. Mh. You have a
way with words, yarra design. One day I will put a glint in
someone's eyes as much as I say you put a glint in yours. But
until that day, I guess we will have to see. I'll have your
