In the year twenty seven fourteen, a new squad of Opera Davis was chosen
by the College of Illusion. These fools promptly went on to frustrate their DM
at every opportunity. Today, still working together, because really, who else
would work with them? They survive as adventurers of fortune. If you have
a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find
them, maybe you can hire the Second Breakfast Club. Tony Kinney as Eddie
Falzoni, Jess Owen as a deer A Glow, Michael Cole as Urag and
Jesse Wicks as Bill Crilliance, Nico Rodriguez as your DM. Welcome back to
the continuing Tales of a Fool's Quest. When last we left our fools,
they were interviewing some people, then they talked to them Dean, then they
interviewed some more than they talked to other people, and then they talked to
some guards, and then they well, they left PD in the room where
he was confined after threatening him. They sent Verbal down to go view some
bodies, and they sent Bert to the city prison because he's a part of
the thieves Guild, not a man of the Claw. As it turns out,
then they went over to Larry Birdman's house, found out some information there,
and now they are on their way to go check out the escape boat
that was to be used or where the magic items were found. To the
boat, so to the boat, so just noise. Our heroes head west
to the Western docks and then they head along the shoreline down south about a
half mile and they find jelly fish with an empty crate and a jellyfish that
says, fuck you, I should have killed that thing. Spread it on
some toast. It's like fish sticks and waffles, jellyfish and butter and jellyfish
sandwich crate's empty crate is empty? Boats still here? Cool? Is there
a name on the boat? Mm hmm, what's the name of the boats?
Asked the boat? It's name with whose boat is it? We can
verify whether or not just belongs to that having space? Do we have a
description for it? We have a description for having space. You know,
got the magic armor, We got the finished armor. Yeah, that's that
much for a description. I'm realizing what a we got. Yeah, we
probably should have gotten a better description of Kevin Spacey. Kevin Spacey, That's
what I said. That's what I said. The first Yeah, Devin Space
should have should have talk to Boomer a little more. Movie. It's fine,
let's racking out. Let's we'll go back and talk to your name heaven.
It is all right, you're the guy probably come on and you're coming
with us finish armor. I think that's all we had. M so uh,
that's how I go up to the boat knock on a a little bit.
Anybody home? Yes, sorry, pardon our intrusion. I don't need
to disturb your rest. Oh has anyone been using you lately? School worrying?
My wealth is on the bottom into water. Yes, someone has speed
replayed locolder. How often do they come around? Pretty recent? Play the
only a couple of times. One guy got in and opened the chest blue
blood blood. One guy came in and put in the chest blue blood.
They both left, so I will relay that to them the gang, all
right, so that'd be the culprit, right, So one guy brought them
create when and then Boomer Boom lifted everything out of it. What's the boat's
name? They want to know? Your name got kind of blow up,
blow my name. He is very nice to meet you, Peters. The
pleasure bloom This bind be do you need any TP Does you have a description?
He dropped them? They had a bunghole. I'm sorry the name the
fellow that dropped off the great originally? Would you know what he looked like?
They wore a cloak, but they were very pale, and they had
a very long nose, and they were told for a human. Mm hmmm,
could be a drown except they're pale. Mm hmm, very pale,
bampire. They have a long nose. Eric cochran h call for human where
they could be Larry or Harvey? How tall is Harvey? They're both pretty
tall. Did you ask about what race they were? No? Were they
human? I guess? All right, so it's not an airquot tall for
human pale wos cloak than armory. Okay, that's what we're working with so
far, which that does kind of match the description of one verbal Boric art
H. Didn't use enough pressure there, Eddie, Yeah, maybe not well.
Verbal is still in the in the room there. Nope, he's with
the guys investigating. Oh, that's right. He went to look at the
bodies, at the bodies and he had a sock in his mouth. But
but if it were verbal, then the sock in the mouth wouldn't stop him
gusting. Yeah, you can only you can only cast verbal. But if
the guy who oh you're saying is it was verbal that loaded it? Now
okay, I'm thinking I was thinking of the warlock. Unless verbal is the
warlock, it's just a it's just a ruse or the skies. I think
verbal was lying about some stuff though. Talking as part of our scholastic training,
did they teach us anything about warlocks and how to discern warlocks. The
only really kind of advanced training that they had for that was specifically around Bill
and Eddie, and it was how to determine multiple classes of magic being cast
by the same person. So where to back to talk to verbal again?
I think it's back to talk to verbal again. But we'll have to catch
up with them wherever the the morgue or whatever. Yeah, you know where
the mortgage. Yeah, yeah, we'll go catch up with them. There
probably would be a bad idea to let the guards know to watch that boat.
Yeah okay, yeah, So you head toward the morgue and you let
the guards know you I assume go back to the southern docks first and talk
to the guards and then tell them. Yeah, keep nine on that boat.
Maybe don't let anyone leave on it. Okay, yep, keep tabs
on anyone who messes with it at all, but don't let anybody take off
with Beavis. All right, So you go do that, and then you
head to the more And as you walk into the morgue, you find the
place is really quiet and empty, and you don't really see or hear anyone
around. You would have expected to see at least a few guards, verbal
maybe a couple medical practitioners, reception corner receptionists. Are there any spirits of
wooden Stone? Hello, it's gonna shout hello. So you're in like the
front area and nobody responds. But you could walk back through the double doors
into the actual you know where they keep the bodies in the cold room.
Head back there, gonna cast invisibility on a dera, and then I'll go
hold the door open for her, okay, just like a gentleman. Yeah,
that we shouldn't have to open the door invisible one, right, people,
she's there, all right? So you go in there and you find
six bodies on tables. I guess I should have made you roll for that
spell. Yeah, I just rolled it I got okay, cool. You
find six bodies on tables all covered up in cloth. Could go start tugging
the cloths down a little bit just to see the heads facing rights. You
definitely see the first people that are there are the victims from the fire.
Yep. So you see the four that we're mentioned that we're confirmed there and
the last two one is the corner themselves, and one is one of the
guards, one of the guards that went with verbal, yep, with verbal
real quick, I'm gonna do a little little look around, see is it?
Yeah, No, I'm not. That's that's that's that's too too all
right, So unfortunately, Eddie, Yeah, to do roll it again.
Okay, it's ten that time, fortunately, Eddie. While you all kind
of take different spots and go look at the bodies, right, you pull
up the body of the artificer that had the acid spray all over them,
and the bodies just disgusting. The smell is bad, everything is bad.
And you just vomited all over everything you just ate just about an hour and
a half ago. You vomit it everywhere. Fish awful. Yeah, just
and there's like a whole half of a fish stick still in there. You
were so hungry. You saw the whole thing. Are you like a duck?
This is absolutely gross? And yeah, what are the rest of you
guys doing now that he's vomiting. I'm leaving the room, just you.
I'm going to pace around the room, taking into you know, just kind
of absorbing the general vibe of the place and after a minute or two,
able to try a communion of whispers. Whenever I spend time in a place
making note of its resident spirits and calling on his spirits of the land could
be granted a vision of significance to me, my allies, or this and
the spirits around me. Okay, that's cool. That's the thing you did,
Kiera was gambit. Yeah, oh thirteen Jesus all right. So the
spirit of the Guard appears before you, and he's still in his uniform,
and he says, man, you were so wrong. Man. You told
us to put a sock in that dude's mouth. And I put my sock
in his mouth, and he was not pleased. By the time we got
here. What happened, Oh, well, we pulled off one of the
you know cloths there, and verbal had been very calm as we were coming
down, and we asked him if that was you know, someone that he
knew. And his hands were cuffed behind his back, right, and so
he couldn't write. And you said to put the sock in his mouth,
right, So I had to either pull the sock out of his mouth or
uncuff him. But I uncuffed him because I thought, you know, he's
verbal, and I don't want him to cast a spell on me. That
was what I thought. Well, I was alive and that was a bad
call man. So I uncoffed his hand and I didn't think about it,
but he just grabbed the sock out of his mouth with his three hands,
and then he casts something called hell fire on me. And while I was
burning, he was like laughing, and he said, I'll never forget it.
Maybe I will. I'm dead, he said. The greatest delusion that
Loki ever played was convincing the world he didn't exist. And then everything went
black. Oh there was one other thing. The corner told me this though
when he died. He said it was weird. But the verbal guy pulled
something out of the inside of the girl that had the double double edged sword.
There was something magical stuff dinner. I'm assuming that was the scroll.
Oh, how long ago was this? Oh man, I don't know when
your dead time is fleety man a yeah, are they warm? Feel the
bodies? Well? Hell fire? Yeah, you don't touch that one.
Thank you for your help. I'm so sorry that you're dead. Well,
it's a little bit your fault, so I accept your apology. Like no
grudges in the afterlife. We had no idea how strong he was. Yeah,
dude, you did let him take the sack out. We told you
to kagging. I mean, well that was that's a little bit on you.
We're all a little bit to blame here. Okay, Well, if
we're done pointing fingers, we should track him down. He can't. You've
gotten far. I'm gonna point fingers at you guys for a long time.
How much you point which direction verbal went? We'll get your vengeance. Oh
man, hmmm, see if he knows, I'm gonna say, Man,
that's a five that I rolled. I'm very sorry I was dead. I
didn't see. Look, man, once the corner died, we just kind
of sat around for a little bit on a cloud, you know, like
getting high, and then then you like called me back out of the cloud,
and I saw it was you and I was like, Ah, these
dudes aren't very cool. It's fair meanwhile, that he's just desecating his great
by vomiting. So we'll go gather up Eddie and head out. All right,
Are there any other like buildings nearby? There are a bunch of buildings
nearby. You're like near the center of the city. Again, it's like
pretty busy hub. Then, yeah, this is like the busiest part of
the city. Okay, is there anything that seems like shop or anywhere that
might have a good view of the entrance exit to this building and has people
in it. No, because this is the basement of the hospital. Oh
yeah, that's right. So I'm still invisible, so I can go anywhere
and somebody opens the door. Well, we know what verbal looks like,
what he used to look like. Can he change that? I'm sure?
Yeah, he wasn't wearing the armor. We must be able to disguise somewhat,
right, Yeah, maybe I don't know, right, do you think
of bird's eye of you might help? I can try. Also, the
only person that told you about the armor was verbal. Oh that's true.
I would like to point that out. Okay, I'm flying in left hand
tirtles all right, So Rack turns into a bird. But who was it
really three four or five six? So should we roll that too? Now?
Yeah, okay, I'll just do the one. But yeah, you
turn into a bird and then you start squawking around, flying around the corner's
office. You can't get out. Fuck, not this again. You can't
talk. You're a big bird because you can't be as small anything, so
your antlers get stuck in the shandle here. All right, Well, I
don't even try to fly, just to kind of walk around like a giant
chicken. You should r away from lockdown. So I can't get out though,
right, Yeah? Yeah, that's uh. I mean so the only
way out of the city essentially is by boat. Right. It's on an
island, right that you know of. He had a bunch of magic items,
but he was loading a boat. He loaded a boat with like the
useless items, like the thalma turkey, lava turkey. There was the literal
red herring in there too. Yeah. Of course it makes a person who
activates it very confused. They think it's a cooler magic ideam know what it
really is. I have a scroll of detect magic, scroll of spare the
dyet. We were a little late for that. That's it. M M.
I think he got away, guys, I think he might have got
away, seems like. But you know what he looks like, and he
looks like I think we got to go. Let the the know that crafty
sound of gun got away. Let's not mention that it was our idea to
send him more. Well, it wasn't. You're right, that was my
idea. There's none of our idea. You surely got to train his guards
better. Yeah, didn't you learn detect magic? So I? I no.
I have it originally, but only for illusion magic specifically. But then
I have the scroll for detect magic like actual tech magic, but I haven't
learned that yet because I've learned blink and zephyrs, and he can he can
do wild magic, surgeons and cure wounds. Well, we're trying to get
a lead on the Scroll of Infinite Illusion. I can caess that that's a
cantrip. I don't cast the tech magic for illusions specifically. You know what,
I'm going to a place of power. I'm going back to the Second
Breakfast Clubhouse, and I am going to put together a ritual that will cover
the entire city and let me detect if there's a strong, strong source of
infinite illusion magic. Thank you squawk. I'm gonna go back to my place
and power there and put together this ritual, you know, with like a
compass and a map, but it's not even like a real map. It's
like one of those pamphlets from a zoo that's got the Zoom map on it,
you know. It's like a player. It's like it's like a zoom
map, but just like a brochure, you know. And I don't know
what else. I'm detect the magnifying glass in one of the points, and
a smoke alarm, and I'm gonna lay it out in the shape of a
compass rose and then we're doing this ritual to detect which direction at how far
that scroll is for me. I am going to say that this is a
very powerful spell, and you're trying to do it real fast, right,
Yeah, so we're gonna do I'm gonna give you an option either. It's
going to take a long time to do this spell, but you don't risk
losing anything. Your friends are gonna have to run out and get you little
reagents to use for it, like something old, something new, something new,
yeah right. They got to have to run out and get stuff that
you don't own to fulfill this, or you have to risk your Siri unit
and have Siri power the spell as the arcane focus times of the essence.
I think we're gonna I think we're gonna use Siri if you get I'm gonna
say, uh, I'm gonna say if you get seven through nine, Siri
can only be used once a day from then on. If you get six
or under, it just breaks series. Broke intelligence, roll intelligence, roll
nine nine Siri on today. Yeah, so Siri, So you begin casting
the spell. You go to your place of power use unless you adia dies.
You go to your place of power and you start casting the spell.
You start ripping things off the wall. You grab a big map and you
lay it out on the ta. You push all four desks together, because
remember y'all had your own like desks. You push them all together. You
lay out this map, grab all these tools. You start doing it.
Everybody's watching you do this. You grab Siri, you put it under the
tables. It's powering the thing and it turns into this big map where you
can pinpoint a couple items. All systems active scanning and you see some pretty
strong, blowing illusion items that are out there that you are pretty familiar,
like, hey, this one's in the Dean's near the dean's office. This
one is you know, over where the bells live, right like, so
you can't guin again an idea. But you find one target locked on the
far east side of the island, the strongest light, and there shouldn't be
It doesn't make sense that it's there to the east. And while these fools
chase after that warlock, we are going to take a quick break. Get

basically on the east side. But he's not moving. It's not it's
not blipping. All right, let's let's rush over there. Did we look
at the punaturny, the Lama turkey, the Tauma turkey, Lama turkey.
I think it got recovered when Boomer got arrested. They did get recovered,
but you didn't get it. Yeah, all right, yeah, let's rush
over the east side. Guys. I'm picking something up over there. I
don't know if it's the scroll, but it's the best, the best bet.
Okay. So as we're running, we're going to find the first group
of people on horseback that we can find and show us, show them our
illusory badges, and go. We need to COMPI scate deep. We're comment
during your vehicle, okay, Loolso grab as many underclassmen as we can till
the Dean meet us on the east side of the island. Okay, bring
reinforcements. Gotcha gets on a horse, turns into a horse from the waist
up, reverse centaur. All right, So you guys go rushing off.
Oh Jack, you definitely get to the island. You get to where the
blip is. This is your home, right it has been for years,
use years. So you guys know where you're going. This is your town.
And you rush right over to the eastern part right where you know this
place is. It's this little alcove that's there. And you see what looks
to be a woman in a nice evening dress sitting out at the beach,
like getting a boat ready to go out on the water. Yeah, dispel,
all right, So you dispel and it is verbal, and he turns
and looks at you, and he's like, what are you doing here?
Hypnotic pattern prepared? Ah, you think you know what we're doing here?
Verbal? Hand it over? A deer is still invisible? Yes, is
still invisible. We have a home. I have a hydra. You have
a hydra? All right? Are you turning into a hydra? Yes?
All right, you guys, you guys are just going full combat moment.
You're just fucking wrecking night, all right. So you get one move as
a hydra. So I'll let you attack same turn, or you can save
the move. I'll go ahead attack this turn, all right. I'm not
gonna attack him. I'm gonnattack the boat. Hm hmm, so very cool.
Seven seven for the boat yeah, I mean, yeah, you hit
the you hit the boat. Yeah, there is that. How much damage
you do to it? Is that for your hacking slash? That was just
for the hacking slash? Yeah, it doesn't get an attack back at you.
So is it just one attack with a hydra? Yeah, unless you
use a move push for damage. I mean for a one person boat that
I feel like that's enough to see. I'm just trying to punch holes in
it and yeah, it's it's not good to see worthy. I mean,
so we can Yeah, your head's all reached down and destroy it, so
we can make it look epic while you're doing it. Oh my god,
you kill that's a different different it's like that spirit. It's probably fine.
It's just that's how they reproduce. There's a whole bunch now. It's plank
and plank and plank and plank. All right, So you turn into that
and he's going to immediately throw up a spell of major armor on himself.
We're great, that's cute, all right. Who wants to go after the
warlock? I would like to go all right, I would like to play
a song stumps. Just you wait, just you wait until your gets here's
just you wait, just you wait until your gets here. She's gonna smash
the ship out of you. I like my song. I love that song.
Roll for my encouragement a ton. Well, okay, so two D
four damage or forty four damage because I can double one. Oh Jesus Christ,
have forty four damage. Please? Four lucks are kind of squishy.
Pew Oh that's great, but he's got may do I get a bonus for
that being invisible and it's been a while. Uh No, I think they
just don't see you or get to hit you, right. Yeah, they
don't get to hit you back on the person. They don't get to hit
you back. So if you roll a seven through nine, they don't do
anything to you. Yeah. I'm gonna cast minor illusion of another bill on
the other side of me. I want her to do it. Yeah,
since Vally's not here, Oh, who's gonna plink at him with the crossbow?
You don't have one of those that leaves us with a dera the heavy
hit. I'm gonna I'm gonna cast that, and then I'm gonna look at
the real Bilt, and I'm gonna look at the fake Bill, and I'm
gonna look at hydra smashing the boat, and I'm gonna say, there's time
to glow. I can't glow yet. You can get ready, I can,
but I'm not gonna pop out of my invisibility. I'm gonna fucking hit
him first. Yeah, she can glow for free if she gets hit,
but she if she chooses to glow, that's an action, so she wouldn't
get to attack. But noted mighty muddy back. So it's oh ship,
he's got major armor on this, not gonna do. He's got a couple
of points of armor. Dude, it's not it's not forty four worth.
That's three Yeller max damage. We're fucked doing all their ship. I'm running
full till adam tend to hit with my normal dragon tooth eggs. Yep,
that hits. Holy moly, mm fourteen points of damage? Put on?
Do I add anything else? Let me make sure a D eight two?
No D ten? I already got that. Yeah, yeah in the forty
four Okay, yeah, fourteen points of damage. So run straight at him
and just swing that bitch right like uppercut to the chin. And then as
I do that, yell time to go. Well that hurts. Sorry,
verbal is and he's going to take this pipe out of his possession. They're
out of his uh you know, it was like holstered. He's going to
take this pipe out with one hand, and he is going to chuck it
at one of the bills bill high or low high it is. The rod
goes whizzing right through one of the bills and it poofs to nothing. With
his other hand, he's going to cast hell fire on the hydra that's attacking
the boat. And and because he tried casting it behind him and I rolled
a three, Uh, it explodes in the water and buttheads the boat just
even blows up into more shards of splinters everywhere. And that was the two
actions that I get. I think that takes us back over to Regstern.
Choppy choppy nine to hit nine's a hit, but he'll get to hit you
back, all right, so setting damage And as you're coming up to him,
he does draw out that it's like a short it's like a really long
dagger or a really short sword, like a little in between there, right,
But he draws it out kind of like sting almost, you know,
and swipes that, you know, swipes at you and slashes at you for
three points of change. That's not annoy How much damage did you say?
Seven? All right, huh, that's gonna that's gonna take us over to
Bill. I believe I'm just gonna keep our heart continue playing the same song,
and she be like you thought that one. Wait till you see the
next one second verse same as the first. Oh it's a ten again.
It's a ten again. I'm gonna remake Bill, but on the other side
of the nine. So I will forget the spell after that. Okay,
I don't think they eat many more rons anyway, I'm hoping, uh dear
uh oh yeah, the My next one would have been to go into a
rage. So nothing yet. Oh okay, so your age. Ye.
So he summons that rod back to his hands, and this time he chucks
it at Adra, but like tries to throw it in a way that you
it would like hit you in the chest. And as he throws it,
he clicks this button. Yes, and it hits you, Adira, and
it hits you so hard, and it takes you down to the ground and
activates into an immovable rod, pinning you to the ground. Fucking shamous.
Sorry. And with the other hand he casts hell fire at Bill hire Low,
Hi fucking Christ. He keeps spinning in circles fighting all of you guys
that have surrounded him, and he keeps getting confused on which Bill is the
real Bill, and so he casts hell fire and fake built into nothing.
Miss. Is he on a dock or is he like on the shore.
He's on the shore. If he's on the shore, all right, all
right, so just rear up and do a stompy stompy choppy chomping. Well
it o mas damage nine. Oh my god? All right? Do I
recognize the movable rods? That's something I'm familiar. Yeah, okay, and
I'm gonna I'm just gonna ride over, drop off the horse and click the
button. Okay, all right, so you'd like do a bardic roll.
I'm just riding, drop it down, clicking the button, grab it,
Oh mine stick in all right? Is mine? Now I'm gonna make Bill
invisible. Okay, that's a ten for the podcast. Do you run up
and touch Billy? All right? And so a dear you see Bill grab
the immovable rod off your chest and then go invisible. So I'm free to
home again. You are free freedo. Yeah, and you got the extra
fourty four, except I'm not gonna damage Oh yeah, seven points of damage
from that immovable rode. No, I don't think so, the only one
that can go. I had to do some damage from the Warlock. Oh
sorry, hate to hit, hate to hit, but he gets to hate
you back. That's okay, you hit fiver. Oh yeah, god,
I hope. So thirteen points of damage on that one, so that'll do
it. But he does eight points of damage back to you. So I'm
gonna run out him again, slide and slice it at his ankles. Oh
yeah, he's slice clean through his ankles. But as you're running, he
slashes down and slices up your shoulder and chest for eight points of damage.
But he goes down and just blood splats out everywhere as he hits the ground
and his ankles aren't on him anymore, and he goes into shock and bleeds
out. Got my shitt shot off in the wall, and you guys killed
the Warlock. Yeah all right, so scroll the scroll? He does have
the scroll on him. It's in his pack, as well as a few
other magic items that just kidding stead belong to the school. Yeah, we
didn't find a movable road though, that's a bummer. They were missing one
of those, probably too. But can you do how do you help?
I can't bag me. I'm gonna dismiss that spell. I can't see what
I look like. Oh my god, I'm still beautiful. You're talking about
You've been there the whole time. You listen, hear you, son of
a bitch. You learn all the schools of magic you want, but you
don't steal my fucking Just as you say that, the Dean shows up cast
how many schools spell? No, but you do see him coming with an
entourage of underclassmen, and even you see him with the Potters. Potters have
joined as well, coming to help. No bells, no bells, no
bells. No, they're on the far side of the island. Anyway it
would have. They might be on their way, but it's gonna take them
longer to get late. Yeah, and so he's coming. He's like,
what what happened? We caught the warlock. That's fantastic. I killed him,
though, Are any of you hurt a little bit? A little attention?
No, she's not. I could use some attention to probably maybe,
No, not even it's great. It's not even a scratchy a Deira is
not hurt you guys? Are you guys are crazy that my arm is hanging
by a thread? Here, come on, that's your arms all It's just
a fleshman. After the seven fourth of healing. I don't think it is
not quite enough. Off by one. I think six. Oh yeah,
for I hate you hit me twice. Yeah, this is this is good
news. Thank god we had some good news. You found a scroll,
Yeah, I did, thank you. All right, let's bring it back.
Well, we're going back. I need to brief you on something I've
just found out. Let's go. So as he's walking, he tells you.
I was talking to the council and we were discussing valley when one of
our high illusionists came back in and she told us that has hit the proverbial
fan. The Evocation Nation has launched a full assault against the Abjuration Nation.
The capital of the Abjuration Nation has fallen, and it sounds like the Evokers
have not only taken the capital, but also have the infinite page of Abduration
well. Also, reports have come back in that explosions have rocked three of
the major divination cities, including their capital. Their infinite page is assumed to
be buried in the rubble. It was a timed assault. It sounds like
a coordinated attack, and it was coordinated with our little problem with the page
here two. I don't know if it's just correlation or bad timing, or
if they are coordinated, but possibly have you ever heard of Magnus Devlin?
No? No, Well, we found this something I forgot to bring up
during the debriefing. Found a sort of coded message about a Magnus Devlin who
was some sort of assassin for the Evocres, kind of a boogeyman, but
supposedly had the Adjuration Nation in his sites. And well, here we are,
so it seems like maybe not such a boogeyman and just a bastard.
I don't know know most of the high Evocres and the senior leadership of that
nation. I mean, we had plenty of dealings with them before recent The
healers came from the Evocation Nation. I've never heard of Magnus Devlin. Maybe
he operates independently. How certain are we that was the evocation nation that launched
the attack? Just reports back from abjurers that survived the chaos. Well,
I'm just curious because this Warlock here also blame the Evocation Nation. Yeah,
and you know, I think it would take an army of evokers to take
down the Abjuration Nation. That that's the most defended nation in the world.
Well, that's true, but an army of warlocks might do it too.
You think there's enough numbers in the warlock there among warlocks to have an army
that. I don't think maybe so. The enchanters are the ones who told
us about this Magnus Devlin. We actually had them decipher that letter that we'd
found. But you know, they can enchant items to mimic evocation spell.
There's a third event that has taken place. The Conjurors apparently have raised armies
of thousands of conjured troops and they've amassed at the border of the Transmutation Nation.
We have not confirmed any attacks yet, but the armies are enough to
take the southern half of the Transmutation Nation, including the Dairy coast. We'd
we'd better be ready for more. We've got the Abjurors on our borders,
our refugees trying to come through, or anything like that. I don't know
yet. I think that we could use all the defensive help we can get,
and if we get abduration refugees, that's more for our side, you
know what I mean. Yeah, Well, I've got high illusionist Kirby and
her click, and then I've got high illusionists Devon in his click. So
I think we should split those clicks into three different traveling groups to go assess
damages and see what we can find out or see how we can help.
We would need one to go to the abjuration nation and see what damage has
been done and see if we can help them retake any part of their land
back. We need one to go to the Divination nation, maybe to help
find their infinite page. And then one to go either to the transmutation nation
or to the Conjuration nation to figure out what's going on at their border and
see if we can diffuse that situation. I will say, you're the newest
I would rather assign you to whatever territory you think is most comfortable. The
other two are going to be well practiced, and they're easier to take on
those other tasks, the harder tasks, whatever you're less comfortable with. What
do you guys think? How about this? You guys just got back home
from a long arduous trip, and I hate asking you to go back out
again this soon, but take some time go see your friends family. I'm
sure you want to see your family, Adira, take twenty four hours,
get rested up, and then come back to me with what decision you've made.
Deal, I could use a visit to my old granddad because it's whiskey.
Yeah, that sounds like a good plan, Deane. I can't tell
you how happy I am that you recovered the infinite Page of Illusion. It
sounds like the other nations have lost theirs. I'm going to dispel magic on
him real quick. He's him, all right, I mean some of the
like niceness, Like he had like a couple of pins on his outfit and
stuff was a little rumple. Yeah, his uh mustard stay a bald spot
appears, stop it. His trucks turned into new balance, all right.
I'm gonna hand the page over to him then, and whatever other odds and
ends we got off of verbal there other than the immovable rod, because we
didn't get one of those off of them. I don't know you're suggesting.
I'm saying there's nothing to suggest we didn't get one of those. So where
do we want to head off to if we if we go with the Divination
Nation, we can maybe reconnect with the Frasiers. Yeah. If we head
off to the Abjuration Nation, we're walking into a hotbed. But we could
also take Valley with this and help her. She's got it inside. Yeah,
we could maybe meet a sister, connect with her sister who is an
Abjure. She'd probably want to make sure that she's okay. Ye oh,
we we turned to the Dairy Coast Transmutation Transmutation Nation. I think, well,
I'm going to wait to learn private obviously, to have a conversation.
Oh yeah, but I was going to say, Eddie, I think it's
worth thinking about the fact that who do you think will have things that maybe
you could learn that would be the most useful and preparing ourselves for this war
coming up as also consideration to make. I think abduration might be our best
bet at this time. First off, because as Rag points out, Valley
has a connection there, family connection, that's a pretty strong tie. We
could maybe bring Valley and get you know, some inroads that way. Isn't
her sister like a abduration nation operative? Yeah? Yeah, might be a
good lead. Might be a good lead and also abduration as protection spells.
I could always use more though agreed, he was like, I am tired
of getting the ship character. Ow ow, it's now the Abjuration nation borders
the illusionation rate. Yep, yep, it's your eastern border. It separates
you really from the Evocation nation. Yeah, so that would be also prudent
there to see if we can't bolster that buffer between the evocre nation. And
it's also your only source of healing potions other than that fame of granite.
That's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, border right, Yeah, yeah,
I think that's the move. Is the Abjuration age sounds like a plan.
