Crew of the Utensia and passengers of the Utensia very large cargo ship out on
the open ocean. Sooner Toby and Cairo, as well as the twins and
well, I guess that's your crew. It is probably approaching mid day on
the Autensia, and ahead of you all morning you've been able to see the
western coastline of Alexandria growing ever larger in front of you in the distance sighting.
It's probably an odd site for a lot of you. I don't know
how many times you've all traveled. I think everybody here actually has traveled on
a ship a couple of times, but still it would probably be quite an
awe inspiring site. The relative mugginess of the last couple of days has remained
for the most part, yet it's quite clear there's there's an element and a
slight chill to the air. It's it's very late in autumn, starting to
get cold, and I think you feel it as you are on the top
decks. You've all been moved to the top decks while a lot of the
crew were preparing the cargo be removed. So you guys and the Halfling,
the King Ku and a lot of the crew members are moving about the ship,
but everybody is now on the top decks. You guys standing around,
maybe with your bags packed. So we're talking today. You will be there
shortly. You've got a couple of hours, all right, then I'm ready.
How was the mood. I'm excited, excited, yes, but I'm
looking forward to meeting my friends again. So I'm a little bit nervous,
but mostly excited. And I'm slightly worried because ever since, you know,
Magic's been gone, I've been eating a lot more and I don't know if
it's just because I am feeling an absence of something and so I'm feeling it
with like or maybe it's just cakes. Maybe it's just a lemon cakes.
I am worried that. I'm just worried what they're going to think of me
when they see me. I'm you know, I'm wondering if they miss me
as much as I miss them. That's my mood. How is hip I
feeling? Faine? How long has it been since he was in Alexandria?
Do you know? Thirty something? Probably thirty something news at this point,
I never left and never been back, maybe nearly forty. Is there an
anxiousness to him or me. No kill as a cucumber. Mm hmm.
And what about Cairo, You Cairo, this is your home You probably know
the port city that you know this ship to be approaching Daydon relatively well.
I think you probably know Belone or a lot a lot better. But you're
this is your home land. It's also as a member of the Inquisition of
the Highest Order. While you're not at all the a high ranking member,
you're still a pretty big deal. You're above a shred. A shred is
what they call the recruits in the Inquisition. It's kind of a it's mostly
an internal thing. You like other inquisitors would refer to the recruit inquisitors as
shreds. But really there that you're about as low as it gets when it
comes to Inquisition member. But you would still have traveled a hell of a
lot in the time that you would have been with your team known to you
guys as the B Team. Last time you left, you guys headed off
on that ship which had the vessel on it that you traveled in for so
long, and went down. You went off to Don Darol, the homelands
of the dwarves, and fixed this thing up with your crew, and then
you went off on this adventure, went under the sea, you suffered the
strange effects of this machine that went off and seems to have exploded and failed
working, and then you find yourself kind of caught here with these two people
that you saw in your visions. But now you're coming back to it.
I think it would be relatively grounding, I would imagine, or there might
be a sense of anxiousness. You've had visions of other members of your team
as well. What does Piro feel like? I think that grounding feeling is
just sort of washed away, in part because of how things went with my
team under the sea. You know, there were some pretty abrupt changes of
heart in terms of how they felt about the inquisition and about our mission altogether.
In addition to that, these visions were so intense, intense enough that
they drug me across the world to find this woman, and in them,
I also see the destruction of this place that I you know, I do
feel is home as much as I have one anymore. So I think coming
here under different circumstances, you might have seen some of that grounding stabilizing me.
But my bow doesn't do what it used to and we're going to meet
a bunch of strangers who may react with suspicion to me. And I don't
know how the Inquisition is going to react if they see me, or what
exactly my plans are, so overall pretty concerned, probably a little jumpy if
you say something to me, I might start and even hunched and cloaked,
maybe hiding a bit for you. The only remaining members of your team that
you know of that were left behind and didn't come onto this mission were Worston,
who's real and reginald from your perspective, The highest ranking member of the
Inquisition that you pretty much ever dealt with was Sea Stalker, who seems to
have been the only person, including Worston, who had ever interacted with an
arch Inquisitor or had spoken with anyone at a higher level, and always was
the person delivering orders to you, or the orders would come through on a
strange device from the arch Inquisitor themselves. You know that each of the cities
has a regular Inquisition that kind of act like a set of detectives. They
also work a little bit above the law. They do a lot of torturing,
and it's the same for every inquisitor. You can go about your mission
however you wish. Pretty much. It's almost like a double oh seven thing,
but a little less flashy and more investigative usually if you want. As
long as the answers are presented to your superiors, it doesn't matter whether you
tortured or killed your way to it, or whether you went with a polite
or friendly method to get the answers, as long as the answers were verifiable.
Each of the cities does have a regular inquisition. The inquisition, the
ark and inquisition is a split off, a branch of a much larger global
thing. In this city, in Dayton, there really isn't a huge inquisition
presence, but you know that there are officials and there are inquisitors that would
be in the city that you could contact speak to that would probably be able
to facilitate anything. Really for you. It's a port town, so they
wouldn't leave it unmonitored. But also, I think you're coming back to the
city, coming back to the continent with a little bit of maybe a hesitation
or an unsure unsure ty. That's not a word about what's been going on,
What's what sort of state the place is going to be in that being
said, just so that you just as a refresher for you, you do
have like a pretty significant amount of influence here, but also you were remaining
undercover to a degree from even your own inquisitors. So it's up to you
how you want to approach this, and this is something that I presented to
you the first time we saw you in the earlier episodes. How you want
to approach anything, whether you go in inquisitor robes out flashing a badge,
or whether you stay undercover and approach things. But I don't think you.
I don't know if you have any really strong frame of reference as to whether
you're going to be open welcome with open arms, or whether they're just going
to you in like anyone else. After after this mission, for a particularly
rigorous debrief or worse, you've had no word from Worst, and no word
from Bard, no word from Reginald. You know that C Stalker, you
know, revealed himself to you to have been a sort of double agent or
to have defected to this other crew. You're pretty confident that the rest of
your team members that were with you have all perished, because it's almost no
way anybody got off of that island under the sea, So just so that
you are aware, you probably do have points of contact, and if you
do kind of just want to say I know this person here or I know
that this place has been before, then you're welcome to do that because you've
you've been here more than I have, really, so ahead of you on
this ship, Alexandria kind of appears and after several hours the crew begin the
process of bringing this ship into a dock. The captain all morning has been
like a child, elated, just unbelievably happy to be here on time.
Eno. The quartermaster, the guy that's been kind of organizing most of the
cargoing things and ordering people around all day, was in full bossy mode,
obsessively taking notes, however on other elements, claiming that the fishermen in the
area are going to pay good price for this new information. He seems to
also be quite excitable. The rest of the crew pretty much just being themselves,
no different really, half of them hitting on Cairo, several of them
asking to shoot your gun, hippo, and the twins with you are relatively
quiet. I think the ought itself daydon this relatively large city or town somewhere
between a city and a town. Nowhere near as large as Bologna, nowhere
near as large as Solva. It sits between these two huge There are three
huge cities in Alexandria, and the rest of the place is a varying sizes.
There's Solva in the northwest, there's Bologna kind of just in the north,
and in the south there's Streledo. Daydon sits between two of these cities,
So it's a it's an odd place, and as you get closer and
closer to this city, I think probably only Suna won't have seen this place
before, but it's still a strangely impressive city that sits atop of this sort
of six hundred foot wall that comes and sticks out of the side of a
low mountain side as its own sort of small peninsula. And at the base
of the wall there is the ocean, and around that lies the docks of
the port itself. You can see that there's a large amount of space around
the bottom that probably can house maybe fifteen to twenty galleons, but many more
smaller vessels you can see around. It's not full at all. The city
seated at the base of a little mountain range it's partially embedded in it.
Dayd On kind of looks a bit like a fortress, a sort of autified
way station between these greater cities of Solva and Bologna. And at the furthest
end, as you probably only see it from far away, and as you
get closer, it's nothing more than a wall with a dock around the base
of it. But you can see the far end of the city there is
a great, big cathedral that's almost in the shape of a lighthouse, with
several squat castles on either side. I'm sorry, yes, you said fortress
and had filled me with panic. Does it look like the very rudimentary drawing.
Okay, the rudimentary drawing you, since you've already seen it, most
certainly looks like the one in Bologna. All right, okay, it's just
a four to five position. Each of you roll for me. No,
okay, I'm kidding. Oh I see it now. Wow, that's beautiful.
Five eleven and thirteen. The the ship comes in support. Eventually,
it takes a long time. There's a lot of shouting for the first time
maybe the entire journey. The captain is serious and relatively stressed. As you
approach, and from afart daydon doesn't look too huge, but the closer you
get to it, you realize how ridiculously large this piece of land is.
There are several smaller villages you can even see further down the coastlines. Nearby
you can see this enormous, great big wall. There are multiple entrance points
that take you inside the city. Anybody that's been here before will know that
there are huge, great stairwells and roads and things that lead up inside of
the wall and further up to the top side, mostly kind of markets and
slums, and there are small taverns and stuff inside the wall that people live
in. A lot of it is really just kind of rock and stone.
It's not necessarily fill to the brim with homes and things, but it does
have this kind of strange element where it's built upwards. You can see some
past parts of the wall have houses hanging off the side of them. They've
begun to build outwards. There are lots of people coming and going. It
seems like they are not necessarily working on the docks. They're just using it
to go from one entrance of this great big wall to another, moving around
and as the ship pulls in eventually, and you find yourself at this docks.
You hear the gangplank lower, and the captain starts ordering people to begin
immediately removing the cargo. He comes over to you sooner and says, I
wonder whether you'd like to well, maybe one last drink before you depart.
Oh, captain, I'm afraid I have somewhere to be, but I do
thank you for the passage. Of course. Well, here's your book back.
Oh, thank you. I did finish it. Did you enjoy it?
The ending was not quite as satisfactory as I was hoping? Well,
there is another one after, you know, it's a series. Let's book
one. It continues onward. Yes, very well. From behind him,
Wayne appears, Captain, are we gonna go over? What do we do
with the cargo? That's not? Oh? Here? Like? Are we
actually going to carry on with the and not? Now? Wayne? Well,
but you said to n Or that we're going to be talking off you're
very you're very busy, captain. Well, yes, it's all right,
I'll let you get to it. Well, yes, of course, Well
we're we're docked here for you know, the meanwhile, a few days.
Good luck, captain. Yes, well, thank you for sailing with us.
Your food will be missed. Oh thank you. Atop of the mast,
the elf is shouting down you want to come on to the top,
heyly hiding, I'll just put an arm hold on the honey and walk faster,
quickly, walk faster. Three of you de partnership behind you, the
twins are shuffling quietly along. They've got their small packs, they've got their
staffs, and they move very quietly, even that each of their footsteps are
very roguelike, very reminiscent of Elie. Maybe as you watch them move very
softly across this wooden gang plan, can you move your way down onto this
dock side again? There's just pretty much a huge docks that runs around the
front of the wall that sits out over the ocean, and then there are
multiple entrance ways that will take you into the actual inner city or under city
of daydon Do you have anywhere in particular that you would want to go first?
You have any plans? Has anyone got anything they want to do?
And I can tell you if you know where you want to be headed for
that? Do you could you excuse us for a moment? Yes? Okay,
So how are we feeling. How's everybody doing, Cairo? Are you
all right? I mean my eyes are just kind of darting around. I'm
okay, but just what if they see me? Well, that's what the
cloak is for. And you know, maybe we could look into getting some
disguises. Okay, how are you doing? Are you hungry or anything?
Ill? No, I need to maybe see if I can't find a replacement
part from my I've kind of got it sort of half fixed, and I
need Okay, so you need gun parts. Cairo needs disguises, And what
about you too? Are are you too al right? You have everything you
need in your pack if we were to set out, say in an hour.
Look at you a little confused, one smiles, one frowns. I
point to my pack. Do you have everything you need? The boy?
The boy rushes forward and takes the pack from you. No, no,
no, no, no no no no no no no no no no,
that's not necessary. I'll carry it. I'm just trad. This is difficult.
Maybe paper, maybe I don't know draw that. I look around.
Is there any is I imagine there's like a general store or something like,
right, but I don't know where to get gun parts and disguises in this
sister's for me. You guys are also out of paper. He has absolutely
used all of the paper in the last all right, so we probably need
to get more of that. Let's see here. A nine is a tough
choice. You succeed in direction, but there's a cost. I won't tell
you what the cost is, but yes, you do know generally where you're
going. The majority of this kind of under city is mostly kind of housing.
There are little shops and taverns and inns that sit around along the dock,
but for the most part, there isn't a lot of trade that happens
down here. The inside there are these great big stairwells and small kind of
roads that are all underneath the walls and underneath the upper city there is a
lot of housing and things in there, though you'll find similar random shops,
maybe a tavern or an inn. The majority of the city sits on top
of the wall, one kind of this huge plateau that runs along and then
eventually does actually line up with what is the ground level, because it's all
kind of up in a mountainous area, think the Cliffs of Dover or something
like that, where there's kind of like a not necessarily a directly sheer rock
face, but there's an elevated element to it up there. You know that
there's plenty of places that you could get these things. You know of a
blacksmith where most certainly you can get gun parts. You've been there before,
maybe with Worston, he's a gun expert. Maybe Lyra has had a gun
dealt with there. There is also a place called the Survivors Market which has
almost just about everything. If you spend a moment shopping around, you'll be
able to find practically anything you want. There is an enchanter in town who
is an Inquisition point of contact since a lot of people come to her with
Arkani, she's always been on the inside. She will feed information back to
the Inquisition, which is a person who's a strong point of contact for you,
maybe called Leah Bashi Rash And I'll give you that in our now DMS.
So yeah, you know that pretty much all the things that you want
to purchase are available. You might need to shop around in the Survivor's Market.
Fact that you also know the Survivors Market is named because many times Dayton
has been held under siege and all of the survivors would meet here to exchange
food and goods free of charge to sort of survive the attrition. So that's
why this is just a big walled city and it just has a lot of
history. I think I think pretty well you would know your way around Cairo.
It's not like the back of you hand, but maybe somewhere you've visited
plenty of times enough to know better than a stranger. But I don't think
it's like you know your hometown or anything. Yeah, I think you're pretty
sure you can direct Sooner around to find the items that she's looking for.
Okay, So I'll describe loosely to them the layout and even mentioned the history
about the Survivor's market. It's just that's very interesting, very sad, a
lot of history in both of these cities. Well, perhaps we should shop
there at the survivors market. I mean, we're all technically survivors, and
it's probably not a great idea to go anywhere where you might be recognized,
right, trying to to not be seen and whatnot. And is there like
a general store near here, within range with at least a sign that I
can point to to try to communicate to these two I shall do my first
role. Well, no, I won't because I never dies a roll above
a ten. Yes, there is all right, yes, right, So
I point to that, I pointed the sign, and then I point back
to them. Do you need anything? See if they understand what you're saying?
One? Two? The girl is confused. She turns to the boy.
The boy says, and then he points to the nearby store and then
waves both of his hands. Okay, so they're good. They don't need
anything. So I guess all we need is, you know, gun supplies
and maybe disguise. And then took passage to Bologna. Now, Carol,
do you know if if I see there's this very large river here and and
I couldn't help, but notice some towns along the way, could we get
to Bologna from there? Or do we have to go by land? Probably
go either way, right, Brad, But which is safer? There's no
real there's no sea passage to Blona. Otherwise. There are rivers that run
along, but I don't think that they use them so often. The rivers
come from the other side. So really your only hope is to cart or
horse or walk. It's not really that far away. It's like a two
day by cart travel, right, I'll just explain to her. Maybe we
can catch a cart. I'm not aware of any river transport. Okay,
we could. We could try to catch a cart. And how long would
it be. That's not a comfortable way to go, you know, we'd
kind of be in the back of someone's goods basically. But I think it's
only about two days. Oh, that's fabulous. Okay, And all right,
so I guess gun parts in a disguise kit. And I hate to
ask you this, Kiro, but have you considered well what you're going to
do now? I mean when you get to Bologna. I mean I was
hopeful to check in with a few people for some information in Bologna. I
mean the Inquisition. Yeah, well, not them directly, we have other
contacts and maybe get a feel for things, but also maybe your friends,
you know, they've been here, but we could just see what the Inquisition's
been up to, if they've heard anything. I'm so sorry, but I
think I'd like to roll perception or whatever the equivalent is, to see if
Cairo is When she says that, it warning red flag for me that she
wants to meet them. That scares me. A little, not them.
But remember Brad mentioned the enchanter that gets like information through the inquisition, that
that would have filtered down. You know, maybe they wouldn't know I'm not
inquisition anymore. You know, Yes, all right, maybe you can roll
contested checks if you want. I just wanted. I'm just I have a
soft spot for her. But I don't Oh wow, okay, I guess
I can't tell it's fine being Yeah, well, I do have a soft
spot for you, Kyrol. I just want. I hope you don't mind
me asking your intention. I just you know, you're welcome to continue to
travel with us. I do feel like my intention is to see if we
can make anything of that vision and what what it meant and what's happened to
Bologna. But if you're asking, I don't intend to go running back to
them. Caught me that That is exactly what I was getting at. I
just, you know, with everything, I've not tried to even contact me,
and but they might. It's what I'm saying. Someone I thought was
our leader wasn't even working for us. And I would say half my team,
but really all of my team change sides. So well, if you
don't mind me saying, so it doesn't look too good for you that you're
you know, the sole survivor, and you know, based on what you've
told me, I think it is better if you stay with us. And
I'm not just saying that to cover my own behind. I think there's a
reason you were in my visions. I just mean if I can somehow get
information, you know, about what they're up to, and uh, well,
yeah, that's very brave of you, and I reach up and I
kind of just pat her cheek. But you don't have to do that.
If you don't want to, you can just stick with us and stay safe.
So thank you. Sooner, Let's let's get a very good disguise,
shall we. I think we could make you look like a gnome. What
do you think about an? Yes, why not? But I should a
bit tall? Hell, I mean platform shoes that would that would make it
even taller. No, I mean we could say that she's wearing platform shoes.
I mean the easiest way to go is human, you know. Oh
yeah, well I could hide my ears, maybe change your hairs, think
too, all right, I guess that makes a little bit more sense.
I just thought it'd be fun. Okay, this guy's kid. It is
survivor's market. Mhm. Should be a bunch of reason, remember any of
why is the stairs? Be sure to keep our eyes open for anybody keeping
their eyes on us, all right, and try to be as discreet as
possible. And I pull up and I tuck Kyro's hood over her face a
little bit more, and you know, just fussing a little bit, and
and just stay safe. And if you see anything, you know, we
should tell each other, okay, right? Uh? Sooner? Yes?
Uh? What about keeping? Oh I suppose that is a dead giveaway for
you, isn't it. I think we could get a look like a cat.
Oh, I mean I think I get a little bite on the hand.
When I mentioned like a carrier and she mentioned this cat, get a
little like a nip. How will you can? Can you like keep?
You know that they can go and find lunch for themselves and then come back
later, you know. Yeah, So it might be best if if Keepy's
out of sight until we get a cart out of here. Give me a
moment, I'm gonna go gesture to some you know when I've been here before
shopping. It's not like Keep likes to come in the shops, you know,
so he might do a little watching or hunting in some of the areas.
So I'll go communicate something to keep you about not sticking on my shoulder
or my wrist. For now, I'm guessing keep he can and for himself
he often does trained enough to you can send him off for days. And
yeah, I think if you gesture to do something like that, you do
so, and the three of you begin to maneuver your way off of the
port. The debt look like a box, and the port and everything dissipate
behind you, and you head into a set of kind of tunnels, basically
all of these kind of small winding roads that gentle inclined upwards, and then
there are stairwells, and it gets a little confusing as you move around.
Maybe you ask a person which way is up, and they kind of just
tell you to follow this sign, follow that sign, and you begin to
maneuver your way through a lot of very small it feels like being in an
endless alley way kind of moving upwards, a lot of lanterns, crooked and
overhanging you. For the most part, this area of the town and the
port so far doesn't seem to have been affected by the fall of magic at
all. There was no like destruction or anything. It seems almost exactly like
the last time you were here Cairo, maybe even you Ipo of you came
here before. It doesn't seem to have been quite so devastated or anything.
As you move upwards and head up to the plateau in the main city of
Dayton, we're going to switch over to the inquisition dungeons, and as the
sounds of the city fade away, the sounds of the music and joy do
not. Oh, you were moved pretty recently to a comfortable room, and
it's about as decent as a middle of the range in you get the sense
that you're underground still. There's like a lack of ambience, that kind of
strange underground sense. But the accommodations that you're given really not too bad.
You've had no shortage of food and drinks and entertainment in forms of books.
They've given you most of your things back, including your loop and your clothes
and your stuff, your glasses, things like that. Maybe a few hours
after you were moved into this place, the fellow that was the half work
some loow comes in in a chef's outfit the full turkey dinner. I try
not to uh uh a laugh, as I'm quite surprised by his his his
wares. He initially came off, you know, super mean and terrifying,
and now he looks especially approachable and friendly. He would have set down this
food on a table. You have your own table, maybe two chairs and
okay bear an okay room, There's maybe even a painting somewhere to store your
things. There's an en sweet bathroom that has its own little latrine area,
and Worston would have informed you that there's no leaving the room. I would
want to leave this room and not go back to the cell. Not thank
you, I'm not complaining you. But he also lets you know that some
Loow is in fact not a torturer. He is a chef of some renown.
He's very friendly with Somelow, who Somelow is also not an inquisitor.
He's just a chef. Worston sometimes asks Somelow, with his intimidating stature,
to instill fear into people. Well, and I think over the course of
like a fall evening here, you kind of learned that it was mostly an
intimidation tactic. Though Worston doesn't claim that any of the blood was fake or
anything like that, you there was no real intent from Worse than to actually
torture you. He seems to have relaxed a lot more. He doesn't seem
to be as intimidating. He maybe still continue to probe you with a few
more questions. You think you would have been open with him about the questions
and the adventure that he was asking you about so far. Now, I
don't know if this is just attempted to get me really comfy. It sure
is working, so I think I would definitely give him a good hefty amount
of infu. Yeah, someone doesn't speak at all. If you enjoyed the
meal, though, you would have seen him beaming smiling. I did,
for sure. I'm sure I finished it down to the bone. Then he
would have happily smiled and left looking way less intimidating, just like in animes
with the sparkles, and as he's watching you from the doorway. After like
a long evening, you may be something to feel tired. You get the
sense that you know you don't You have no idea whether it's nine time or
daytime. At this point, you don't really know how long you've been in
here, but you've eaten, you've maybe had a few glasses of wine.
When there's another bang at the door, but it doesn't sound like someone knocking.
It sounds like someone falls into the door. Geez. There's a grumble,
Oh, just stand up. How can anyone even drink that much?
And then there's a fumbling of keys as you hear the locks free now,
and then the door creaks open. Worston is standing there with a familiar face,
pushed into the room with you, wearing half an assassin's garb and half
of his usual strange furs and flare with his old boots his kaloogie. Is
he stuck into the room. He looks up, Well, silly, look
who it is? Cology. I thought you'd be with Ellie. I thought
you'd be I don't know, with a whore on a boat. Well that's
the dream one can dream. But all right, so they got you too,
Well they should have lost ally of magic. What about your silver tongue?
Couldn't talk your way out? Well, I mean maybe to some extent.
I'm you're just telling you were the king or something. What you should
have just said you were the king? Of the giant lands. They wouldn't
believe me even if I did, I'm probably not all right. Give me
a glass of that, then, well I did pour them a class off
the wine. He stumbles for, sitting in a chair wit exquisite over the
back of the chair and SIPs the wine and looks around. Not bad.
I guess that's the bed will be sharing. Is it for the rest of
our lives? WHOA? I immediately turned to Worston. Is this the case
of I am I bunking with this guy? Worse than with his arms folded
in the doorway, says unfortunately. Yeah, we don't have too many of
these racks at the moment. Oh well, uh, I certainly don't want
to start complaining now. A few times I thought you were good friends.
We are good friends. We're best of friends. We've been to Helen back
quite literallymoral like acquaintances. Really, after you've been through what we've been through,
we're more like brothers. Yeah, in one of them pits, you
leave me in here with him? Oh god, I don't know them.
Try me in a pit please. I've been in one of them inquisition pits
before. Oh boy, what are they like? They're awful. It's a
dark room. They change you to a well naked and they ask you lots
of questions. Is exactly what they did to me? I did too.
Yeah, I think it's all part of him. You know what, maybe
maybe we do have a connection. There you go say, best friends,
brothers always gone. The door closes. Oh well wait, so how did
they get you? Were you not in the assassin's guilled with? Well,
Sam's Ellie left me for dead and she'd never do that. She is dead?
What? No, well, where the is she? Well? I
don't know. She's obviously not dead, that's for sure. I know her.
And if you knew her like I knew her, well, she's perfectly
capable of handling herself. Yeah, well, nastyard, because I like her
anything. What the nasty Bustard's act said? She she left town? What
ye says? She skipped down? She's off and never coming back. No,
that's not like, that's not the Elie I know. Two seconds later,
he knocks down the door and uh, well, I guess I'm just
properly now moving from hands to hands. You know, well, what about
Aura? Did you see Aura? Let me see? Let me think about
that. Have I seen or oh no, but I did hear that she
again butchered an inquisitor in the street. Whoa what that's what I had last
thing I heard before I was dragged out. Butchered an inquisitor, cut him
up left right center, cut him up like an old fish. Wow,
gone on a murderous rampage across town. She's cracked. No, she's too
late for her or it is not like that. I'm sure she hadn't say
that she's got literal horns on her head. Well, that don't mean nothing
saying that she has a demon. But you know, no, listen,
I've had my runnings with demons. You've had runnings with my demons as well.
Yeah, you look like one of them demons. He based ther whole
life on being one of them demons. And I'm stuck in a room with
you anyway, Or she is not a demon, she's she anyway. I'm
sure she had a reason. I'm sure she was just defending herself. Probably,
I don't know where you love every time you shot up and turn everything
ghost ship, not entirely, but I will admit it topped me up a
mess? What what? Oh? Oh right, I'll have another drop for
another thanks, all right, picks his boots off, puts him up on
the table right next to the turkey. Immediately notice the smell. So what's
the plan? And you're gonna get us out of there? Ride? Can
I just say, your feet smell exactly like sour milk? That is oddly
interesting. Anyway, it's clothes, actually old clothes. But wait, did
you repeat that again? A plan? Put clothes on my feet because it
keeps demons away. Oh you do that? Yeah, particular particular type of
demon, black clothes. So I figured if I put it on my feet,
that's interesting. So you can kick them. Well, yeah, it's
like having super powerful kicks if allergic to clothes, right, I suppose,
okays, as much as our accommodations are very comfortable, I think we need
to well plan and escape. Yeah, I assume that you've already done that.
No, well, I mean have you been doing sitting there eating turkey
dinner? Well? I need to regain my strength. Yes, that's so,
that's what I've been doing. I've been recuperating, especially after being down
my leg. That was I've cleaned up, I freshened up they you know,
they're actually not that bad. I miss, not unless it's their tactic.
Oh, this is all a tactic. I wouldn't trust. They're very
smart. They got me good. Yeah, there's probably truth there in that.
No really, yeah, old, I'm try and lie to me.
How large is your penis? It is quite large, I said, lie,
lie, it is so small you need a magnifying class. I thought,
sir, all right, well I've spoken to most of the wenches in
town. What and what do they say? Well, they said it very
well in doubt. Okay, okay. And then when I said I knew
you, they started to compare me to you. All right, what well,
well, yeah, hem I I try to compose myself. I am
I am flushed red quite literally. Well, we need to make an escape.
I've got a good plan. Oh what's the plan? Right? We
bust out. We're head on up to the fortress. Right, you tell
him that you're a visiting emperor. What you say, I'm a visiting emperor.
With your silver tongue, We get you in, show you around.
We held on up to the queen's quarters. You work your way inside the
bead covers river middle of the night. Pull out a wooden steak crow it
for a heart no, wait, that's the vampire. You pull out a
wooden steak covered in clothes and you put it through a heart, kill her.
Then we head down to the fortress dungeon, we find h Grim and
then we shove it in his face. Look, Grim, it's me here
to save you. Get him out and then you know, he owes me
a life dead. I don't think they're gonna well you are. Your plan
is quite extravagant to Kalugi. For one, They're not gonna believe I'm in
emperor because I told Reginald that I had many encounters with busty mermaids throughout you
know my adventures. Is that true? No? I wish it was.
That's terrible. What was the point? Elly's original idea? And I just
I went with it and then it was quite easy to do with Ellie.
Why does the heck keep changing? Well? She uh, she was undead
and now she's living and breathing again. That's nice or is it? What
is it nice? Or is it worse? What's worse? I would I
would say maybe better considering now you know she's breathing again, she can you
know, well, she's gone. She abandoned us, left us for dead.
No, she she'd never abandoned. It's not Ellie. Well she also
wouldn't help me break into the castle and kill quin Well, sure it's because
of other things or a compic contraine. She's some wild Well you know,
you know independent women there, they know what they're doing. You're right,
that crism just me and here the boys always get it done. Well,
she got left so that if we have to save the city for the things
I done because of them. Sorry, I am I might have a lay
down room spinning a little bit long, yeah you oh geez. And I
immediately catch him as he's falling, and I lead him to the bed.
He's mumbling something about the number twenty one, and so you lay him down,
and then he falls into a deep sleep, half hanging off of the
bed. I take note of that number twenty one in case it means something
later down the line. Okay, twenty one. You begin preparing a plan
to scape. We hopefully I put a like it over kaluky and make them
comfortable. Well, Kalugi is relatively adept at actually genuinely kind of killing demons.
It's not much of a jail break, are you. I'm curious as
to whether in all of these years you've actually broken out of jail as possible.
You've been locked up a few times, I feel maybe you know,
I was locked up maybe once or twice, but for petty crimes. Nothing,
nothing like this. If the town watched local like an old sheriff's jail
looking thing, yeah, yep, and I managed to get the dog to
snag his keys for me. So do you have a plan to break out
of the inquisition dungeons? Well, maybe by trying to gain their trust,
that was sort of and maybe get on their their good side. Okay,
so you'll be here for the rest of your natural born life, all right?
That seems like a good place for us to flip over no warning,
But we're gonna go to where are you Aura? One day? Yeah?
Okay, I I am sorry, I gotta switch my cam on. I
am. I'm with Reginald in his little house. So beloona midtown nice Let's
go to Bologna's midtown and see what Aura has been up to. This has
been a week since we last saw you and Reginald flee the uh the kind
of safe house, come up with a pact and decide to work together outside
of the kind of bounds of any organization, most specifically the the ARC and
I Inquisition to keep you from being imprisoned. He has kind of gone dark
himself. He's not wearing any of his Inquisition stuff. He's wearing like commoner
clothes. He had a little go bag which was perfect for this, so
he'd switched to that left a lot of his things in the the other building.
But like the majority of this week, I think he's been questioning and
probing you for information on your quest as well. Do you think you would
have been open with telling him everything of your adventure so far. Yeah,
because I made a pact with him, and I'm going to hold my side
of that pact. I'm telling him everything, so we can assume that in
this time he knows everything. Now, can I assume that I know everything?
Yeah? And for the most part, he seems like he was telling
you the truth when he told you their side of the story, that they
kind of looked into this group too late, that one of their own went
rogue and turned on them and was just spreading misinformation and keeping information from the
ranks, allowing this crew to create this ridiculous weapon. He maybe gives you
a little more information on the origins. He mentioned somebody known as Cedric who
just used to be a crew member on the Dragonfly, which up until the
point they began collecting arc and I trinkets, just seems to have been a
normal family man. It seems that he lost his family at some point and
then kind of went on this strange mission of vengeance collecting people along the way
that kind of had any sort of grit with the gods. These crew members
that they picked up became a sort of cult from Reginald's perspective, I guess,
and that they there their their sort of mission seems to have been to
activate this machine and to have caused this situation. From their perspective, at
first, they just assumed that you were part of that crew and that you
were you know, they're No, it doesn't seem to be strange to Reginald
at all that you went jumping between all these planes, that you yourself were
able to open these portals, and that you could do these things. That
doesn't sound like anything new to him. Necessarily. He does kind of half
think that maybe you were used and that some of these thoughts and memories of
yours were implanted or twisted by some sort of powerful mage. He's also kind
of working with the theory that everything you're saying is true and that you know
this this situation as we've all seen it, the play out is the correct
kind of set of events. I think depending on really how you've been leading
this week would depend on kind of how Reginald has been. So I asked
you to think of one thing that you've done successfully and one thing you've failed
at, and also what do you think you and Reginald have been doing,
Like, how do you think this week is gone? I think it's been
a lot of me pestering him to take me to Bow, and so I
feel like one thing I failed at is being unable to spring Bowl loose and
me trying this whole week to figure out how to get him out of the
Inquisition prison. He would have said that trying to go and get Bow out
of this dungeon would just be impossible, that you'd both immediately be picked up
and you would just be arrested and put in there with Bow. I guess
one thing that I feel like I've done successfully is stay in hiding and not
get caught and try to come up with a plan. I think another thing
I failed at is trying to find Ellie, because I know in your hiding
successfully it has caused Ellie to fail at finding you. So you've just missed
each other and it's a big city and Buns hasn't come back yet. Correct
Buns has come back. That was going to be my next point. Buns
during this week did return to you with a note which was crudely written by
Flex, not because Clex can't write, but because Flex can't write small on
a tiny piece of paper, And it's just an awful note that really I
don't know if it helps you, but it simply says I'm glad you okay,
Alvin okay. I think that would make me feel a lot better.
Even though it looks like a child wrote it, it kind of brings like
a looking yeah. And I take the after I Buns comes back, and
I'm going to save this note. I'm gonna fold it up and put it
in like my breast pocket of my coat, like close to my heart.
And I immediately feel like a sigh of relief that Alvin is okay, Colext
is okay because he wrote me back, and now I can focus on hopefully
getting us all back together and saving Bo from the prison. But I would
be asking Reginald why Ellie wasn't hunted down and trying to figure out what kind
of relationship the Guild has with the Inquisition. I think Reginald would tell you
that Ellie was and currently is being hunted down. The problem is is that
Reginald also is cut off from information, so I don't think he knows where
Ellie is right now or what's going on with her. But she is absolutely
wanted as well. You guys are basically wanted criminals. Essentially at the moment,
it will have extended to the the National Inquisition. That also extends to
PLUGI and to Sooner that eventually it would extend to Clex and Alvin and people
that are known to you in your own towns, and the same with Sooner
potentially. And yeah, so Ellie absolutely is wanted and is hunted. It
seems that there is like a strange understanding between the Assassin's Guild and the Inquisition.
The Inquisition have hired the Assassins Guild on so many occasions that they are
almost working in partnership. The Assassin's Guild would not be able to operate underneath
the Inquisitions knows unless there was probably some corruption somewhere along the line, or
maybe some sort of agreement must have been made many years ago, long before
Zach's reign. But no doubt that the Inquisition know all about the Assassin's Guild
and allow them to continue their operation. So probably the Assassin's Guild knows that
and is kind of a little bit under the thumb. The Inquisition isn't much
or meddling. They really are just about collecting the information. If it comes
to just huge doomsday events that's like this, that's when they've become more and
more involved. When the Arcani Inquisition were formed, it was literally just because
Arcani became an outlawed thing, whereas the rest of the Inquisition, for the
most part, is just involved in finding out information that is relevant. An
assassination going of a king is fine as long as the Inquisition know that it
happened. That's what they want. The control of information seems to be more
about what it's about. Reginald is pretty sure there's a hell of a lot
of corruption involved in everything. Ever, he's pretty adamant that he is not
one of those types. He says he claims many times that his team that
he worked with, for the most part word would always try and work above
board and try and just get their work done without resorting to violence and torture
and things like that. He says, apart from one member of their team
known as Erylpay, who often would resort to torture, and Bob is basically
clinically insane and also in a clinic somewhere. Did I know that? Do
I know that Bob's okay? Reginald knows that Bob is okay, but hasn't
told me. Oh, would have told you? Okay? So uh yeah,
I think I mean Ellie is is wanted? Okay? The status of
Eli is you know, a big question mark. I just imagine us sitting
down at a table over tea and I'm just going crazy trying to figure out
next steps and asking him a million questions, how well do you know Worst?
And again, can you like, can we get him on our side?
Is there is there a way that we can just say, hey,
worst in I would come on and then like we can get Bo out.
Isn't he your buddy? Is it worse than your buddy? Friends? Is
a bit of a stretchy well it's like, what, well, is there
anything we can do to like convince him? What's he like? I I
feel like we've been sitting here all week trying to figure something out and we
haven't been able to like do the one thing that I want to do.
Yes, well, Worston is well, he hasn't been in charge for long,
but since he has been in charge, he's been taking it rather seriously.
So it's possible that we could maybe get him on side. But if
we can't, then I assure you that he would well I would have thought
he would overpower us both, but you are quite frightening. I mean,
we could sneak up on him. We could maybe put a little poison just
to knock him out, just to knock him out, and we could sig
him up and bring him back here. We we We could, Yeah,
we could do There's so many things we could do, like if we just
catch him off guard, like you know his patterns, if we if we
we fail at our jobs, it's really reprimanded quite harshly. Well, what
do you feel like you failed at your job? Not yet? Okay,
so maybe we just need to convince Worsen of that. And I mean,
do we know if Bo's okay, Well, I can't imagine that Worston would
do anything too hush. His name is Worston. It sounds like a torturer's
name. Well, yes, your name is Aura, but you don't glow.
I like to think that. I kind of okay, Well, anyway,
can what can we do? Like, how can we get in there?
How can we get him out? What if I put on a disguise?
What if you we could put a mustache on you? I don't know.
We got to get him, well, I suppose we get him out?
What then we bring him back here for what? And we wait for
sooner? And what is Sooner going to do? She will help us find
Ellie and then we'll all be together again, okay? And then how will
you bring the magic back? Or how are we going to find Devaki?
Or we will find Dave Aki because you have super cool tracking that we can
do. And I know, I don't know. I don't know. I
am trying to figure it out. I just feel like knowing one of my
friends is trapped in a prison in a basement. I did you, I
mean Bob tried to kill me? Essentially, I don't I'm trying to kill
me as well. Bob tried to kill you. Well, Bob's tried to
kill all of us a few times. Yes, I thought he was your
friend. Well, we're work friends. You need new friends, Reginald,
perhaps maybe well I did have a lot of friends. What happened, okay,
I had I think you probably know the story of the beating. From
Reginald's perspective, we don't know. They went off and then there was a
h I think from Reginald's perspective, he knows that they went on this mission.
He was supposed to join them, but didn't make it back to Alona
in time to join them, and they went off in this thing, this
underwater vessel, down to the area which is now completely gone. He's pretty
well convinced that they're all dead. You don't know that they're dead, had
Isa. I mean, yeah, just you have a lot of friends that
are just away right now as well. I'm stuck with worster than Bob.
Now, I won't lie. That seems like not the best friends to have
leftover. It could have been worse. It could have been Infidelio narrow pay
Well, I can get arapel. What's wrong with Infidelia? She seemed nice
and when she told me yes, but she was also into bringing people back
from the dead and animating them, having them walk around and it's quiet.
But wouldn't you kill for someone like that? Right now? Because magic's gone,
she can't probably even do that would be very very useful right now,
Yes, but unfortunately we don't have that. Oh yeah, also if if
your friends are she would be very helpful in facilitating friendship from an Infidelia only
joined the Inquisition so that she could legally use necromancy to further her own understanding
of necromancy. Really, I think she was just having fun rather garish.
Why did you join the inquisition? Father made me? What did you want
to do? Originally my plan was to raise horses. You can still do
that after all this. I suppose maybe you could do that. Yes,
I've got a nice nest egg. Now, well, maybe we can find
Ellie, and maybe Ellie knows how to like pick locks and sneak around a
lot better than I can. Maybe she can help get It's also held a
knife to night out more times than I can count. I mean you've held
one to mine, so I mean everybody can get past their differences, right,
Yes, but you appear to be able to be reasoned with. I
know that Ellie is a little rough around the edges, but deep down I
know she's got the right thing, the right She's trying to do the right
thing, she just does it differently. Well, does she have any safe
houses? Or I can't imagine she would go back to her own home.
I mean, I just based on our last conversation, I'm assuming she's been
at the guild. MM. If she's at the Guild, then they've already
got her. Probably she's locked up with bo. Is there any way we
can find out when Worston's gonna leave? Like, who's watching the who's watching
this prison? Who is it just Worston? You know there's several people there,
mostly Shreds, the recruits. Do they all know that you've gone dark?
Or? Or can you just show up with me and say hey,
I brought another prisoner in and then and then we can surprise him. If
I show up now, it's very likely that Worston will bring you in and
then he'll want to know everything I've been doing, and well, I'm open
with him. I will be telling him everything so until I resurface. Maybe
it's what if you write him a letter, m the letter in your weird
language, like write write, write him a letter about everything, and send
it to him. See if we can get him on side. Yeah,
right, And if he's not on side, we poison him the time up
we just were type, poisonim a little bit, and then we tie him
up and we trade him out for Bow in the prison until all of us,
until he could see what Worston has had a very stressful year. I
really don't need to get on this bad side. Okay, what has Worston
been through this year? I've been living in a dream world for a year.
Well, yes, although from what I'm to understand it sounds like it
was really only a second or so, perhaps a few minutes at most.
Okay, then before that, I was fighting gods and going through portals,
and spiders were attacking me in the desert. So what has Worston been through
that's so bad? Well, everything he was to understand about our group was
turned on its head. His very best friend was revealed to be a traitor.
He was placed into a position in this operation of extreme stress that he
most certainly does not want and is not ready for. And then on top
of that all of our friends and workmates were killed. Okay, some of
that sucks, but some of that's a promotion. Like I don't did he
get a pay raise with the with with the new responsibilities. I would assume
so, but I really pays not too much extreme loss and grief. Okay,
Well, well, okay, I get it. Maybe that's all the
more reason Worston will read your letter, and maybe he'll be more open to
it because we've all lost stuff this year. Hmm, very well, I'll
write him a letter and explain what's going on. Perhaps he'd like to meet,
and well, if he does, the thing is, if he wants
to take you in, I really won't be able to stop him. Well,
then we're gonna have to come up with the plans so that if he
tries to that can't happen. Very well, I shall get to writing the
letter then, Okay, well I can help if you want. If we
are able to work together on this, I think how our next step should
be to approach Grim the fortress. By now we should be able to go
there with the proper authentication that I was able to achieve just before all of
this. Why is Grim such an important part of all of this. I
just find it odd that he would attack the castle after swearing off of all
of this. From what I'm to understand, he and I had a disagreement
in a bar, and he tried to cut my head off when I was
walking away. Grim sworn paladin, perhaps to a deity of a darker shade
of gray, but still a paladin swears an oath to the queen. It
seems rather odd that he would break that oath and then directly assault the palace.
And since he's so greatly involved with you and yours, if you want,
at least you want to question him, the only piece of the puzzle
aside from Sooner that we don't have. Alternatively, I suppose you and I
could set off and head for dust Fail. I mean, I if you
want to talk to Grim, we can talk to Grim. I know Ellie
wanted to talk to Grim too. I just don't know that he has a
lot of logic and reason based behind his decisions. A lot of the time,
all we have is Grim and Sooner. And you're hoping that she will
arrive of soon, that it could take her weeks or months. Maybe she's
not coming here at all. Whereas we have a puzzle piece sitting locked up
waiting to be questioned. We can at least see whether he's simply gone mad
or whether he has something of worth for us. How are we going to
get in there? Though? I don't understand how? How all we just
roll up and then and say hello, we're here to talk with Grim,
and they're going to let us in. Yes? Actually, I think by
now I should be able to arrange passage for of us, since I was
already working on that, But it would have to be above board. Therefore
we'd need to get Worston onside. Okay, let's try to get Worston.
And I feel like Ellie wouldn't forgive me if she didn't get a chance to
talk to Grim either. Well, she might prove more difficult to find.
He's a shadow within a shadow, it's true. But I've known her for
a while, and maybe I can find her in one of the shadows.
I wonder if we make enough noise she would find you. I could leave.
I'll leave behind a couple of things that only she would know, and
I'll leave her some clues, and I know she'll find them, and then
then then she'll find us. Yeah, what's the plan dead bodies. Well,
no, because I don't. I don't kill people. I don't know
why. No, she isn't. So are you saying that I'm leaving the
dead bodies or she's leaving the dead body trail of dead body? It's never
mind. No, I don't think that that's I'm not going to kill people
just to leave a breadcrumb trail for for Ellie. She's smarter than that.
I don't need to just leave carnage at that point, we might as well
just just paint a sign that says, hey, I'm your is here.
I could do that, actually, I yeah, but also wouldn't Worston.
Worston can read that's true, I suppose. I wonder if Western those thieves
can't. Okay, I don't know what that is. I mean, I
know she's they have their own symbology. Okay, we could try that.
If if Worston doesn't know it, or any of your your inquisition friends,
I don't see why he would. I was trained by some of the members
of the Assassin's Guild at one point. They taught me a few things.
Then we should try that too, and if it doesn't work, then I'll
leave. I'll be able to find something to leave behind that she can find
right then, so a letter to Worston a potential plan, and if all
goes wrong, we can hop and skip to dust Fell. I mean,
I okay, okay, we'll figure something out. Do you want some oatmeal?
Yes? Go there some oatmeal. Yes, I'm starving, and go
to the kitchen and start putting together very plain oatmeal. And that is a
good point for us to go to a break. Thank you so much for
watching everybody. We're going to go to a short break here. When we
return, we shall see what Ellie is up to, whether she's able to
find some thieves canned notes over the town before Worston does, and whether Worston
can read them. Who knows, will roll some dice when we return.
Thanks for watching. We'll be back in a few minutes. Just outside the
city on the Alexandria Great Road, there is a little cottage, a small
house, a kind of getaway house. In fact, what does this house
look like? You can tell me nothing special. It almost looks abandoned,
and it has broken furniture on the outside and cobwebs, and it just doesn't
look very lived in. But inside it goes there's a door that opens down
into a cellar, and in the cellar that's where it's like more done up
and there's furniture and a place to cook and very secretive. Okay, but
it purposefully tries to look like it's not lived in and like it's not liveable.
Yeah, it's just an abandoned looking building outside of the city kind of
in the distance. You can see the edge of the low town which spills
out beyond the walls. Beyond that there's the walls, and you can see
the fortress kind of looming. But you sitting just off the main road that
we saw Aura come in on. What are you doing? And also your
week has been a kind of a search for Aurra and Bo that has come
up frustratingly fruitless. I think it's been difficult to avoid the guild at Zach's
request. Did you at any point go back to your own apartment? No,
What happened. What ended up happening is after that first, after the
warning from Zach and trying that day to find Aura and not finding her,
I went out and I just stayed in the cottage. But my main purpose
or goal was to look like I actually did just bounce, like I knew
that they were hunting me, and I just I was like, okay,
bye, And I wanted to basically be gone the whole time, or give
it a week before I came back, just to really make it seem like
I did actually go away. So and I think you did that. You're
on the eastern side of the city. What would you be attempting to do
next or what's the plan for really now after a week, I mean she's
been living off rations and then whatever they have happen to have like in there,
which is not used a lot. It's mainly for the higher ups in
the guild anyway, so there's not much there. So the goal would be
basically to track down Ura again or find a trail of Bo or Orb,
like by this time, maybe they've released either of them if they've been captured,
or maybe do you like dip into town briefly just to see if anything
is going on during the week, like like I just go, I'm gone
for a week. I'm just m I A. I want them. I
don't want anyone to see me. I don't want anyone to think I'm in
the city and then I'll be coming back. That's when I'm going to be
like, Okay, I need to find someone, and is that today?
Yep, it's today. So maybe you're leaving this building as we join you
and you begin heading up the road and back into the kind of main low
town area. There's sort of there's like a pretty decent sort of and it's
called the slums. But the houses isn't like a ramshackle, you know,
true slum. It's just a lot of smaller houses actually relatively newer built,
lots of people living there, lots of kind of inns and stuff as you
get closer and closer, but it sits outside of the main walls. Where
are you headed first? Once you actually come to the low town? I
want to go to a place where I can. At first, it's gonna
be hard because I want to be very careful about this. I don't want
anyone to spot me, not even in the guild. So they don't want
to make anyone sort of like have to be like okay, well I saw
her. I think the first thing that I would do is go back to
the area where the fight happened with the inquisitor and sort of ask questions.
So I would go to a bar where people like to get chatty. Yeah,
there's a pretty trustworthy in terms of you have and off of the just
off of the kind of main road that you know that there are lots of
people in there that you can kind of trust with. The it's known as
the Last Spell. It's owned by somebody who used to be a famed kind
of mage but became very very old and just kind of retired to owning a
small tavern. But you know them to be trustworthy. They were a friend
of yours maybe when you were younger, and they aren't the type of person
that would go on selling information to the Watch or the Inquisition. It's maybe
somebody that you know a little more privately so that they don't immediately run off
to the Guild as a guild contact or anything like that. His name is
just Ash Glade and he's extremely old. He's like he probably looks like he's
about one hundred. It's really old dude that owns this small tavern. It's
very close by human man dressed in robes and bald head, long large ears.
He probably looks a lot like the BFG, but in a mage outfit.
And he's always sitting at the back of this tavern, the staff that
run it probably moving about a milling around, and just like all the other
taverns have been recently, it's a little over populated. When you step inside
and kind of begin to look around for him, you spot him pretty quickly
at his usual table, and I don't think he spots you, which is
common for you. As you head inside one of these taverns, you just
naturally always kind of blend in. A few people move out of your way,
A couple of people don't even notice you as well. And as you
step into this tavern, you can see ash Glade at the back, sitting
with a drink. He also has like a stack of books next to him,
which is not uncommon but usually means he's working on something, busy with
something. He's sitting with him and the book open on his table. I
want to straw by a loud table and sort of like hijack one of their
drinks while they're not watching. You can do that. You don't need to
roll. Okay, yeah, I'm gonna hijack one of their drinks and then
go sit at the table with him. I'm not gonna and that's my presence
right away. I kind of just like want to watch him for a second.
I think I'm a roll real quick for him. Yeah, he has
no idea. You're there for like a long, like an almost awkwardly long
time. As he's sitting reading, you see him turn an entire page.
As he continues to read, he grabs kind of blindly for his his tankard
and takes a sip and puts it back down. It has no idea.
You're there, you've been there for however long you have been there? What
is he reading from? Like? What's the book? He's reading a book
and it's a very similar to a book to the one that you saw about
the origins of magic. You know that's pointless, right, it's just me.
He should be used to this by now. You know how old I
am. Dear sneaking up on an old man such as me. We're without
all my spells? Oh I have I told you? We're out of spells
all of us. Well, magic's just magic's gone. Yes, magic is
gone. That's pointless. You're reading that, it's pointless. What is it?
Anti magic field? Was my first guess, and it seems it's across
the entire country. I think whatever God was controlling magic is dead God.
You believe gonsciously controlling magic? Now do you? I mean death? Oh
you're the god of death. Yeah, that was very good. And he
taps you on the knee kind of laughing. Oh, very good. He
turns a few pages, wishes it towards you. There, Cremancy, the
origins. Where do you think that necromancy comes from? Then? God of
death? Look at him? I have no Do I have any idea?
Probably not? Your best guess is your best guess. I just shoved the
book back and I'm like, you know, I don't deal in that kind
of stuff. I mean, I do kill, but I don't bring them
back. Yes, well it would be handy maybe, well not for you
in your line of work. Yeah, that would be pointless. You ever
heard of the weave? I want to say maybe I saw something like this
when I was reading, but I uh, but maybe I don't know enough
about it because I'm not someone who's like magically in tuned. Yeah, naturally,
you can say that you kind of heard of it. Weave is a
sort of like a a medium for controlling magic running along. Everything kind of
stems from it. To theory. Well, I mean, I know a
little bit, but not you. Oh no, I was always unsure of
the weave's presence. But I think maybe someone's cut the weave. I think
something terrible has happened. Hm hmm, turns another page. Oh, yes,
do you think there's any way to repair this weave? Well, I
suppose you'd have to ask Mistra sinsure a fan of the gods. I'm assuming
that's a god, Oh, the goddess of magic itself. Yeah, well,
that's not probably going to be possible. I just said all the gods
are dead. Interesting theory. Didn't think i'd be discussing the philosophyes of magic
with you, dear. Yeah, I know. You know I could cast
a few spells before it was taken away. Oh now, did you manage
to come by that scrolls? Perhaps? Uh no, some figure approached me.
They wanted to strike a deal. Well, you didn't dabble with warlock
magic, did you? How do you know you striking deals cheap, quick,
easy? It always comes at a terrible price. Yeah, losing magic,
getting it, and then losing it almost immediately, it's pretty terrible.
Maybe not. You probably saved your soul. Yeah no, I don't think
that's what saved me. I was already dead. Hmm, you seem to
be quite serious. You died. Eh. It was a curse for stealing
an a fortannitem. I suppose ear usually rather good at stealing. Yeah.
I didn't expect it to be cursed though, and killed enough people and summoned
a witch took my soul with it and left me I guess without one,
but still alive. But not really. Curses are tricksy. You wouldn't be
the first. No, it's not around anymore. Is that when I did
lose my hand? Oh? Oh dear, that's terrible. How does this
work? That's interesting? Look at that? And you can grip with it?
Uh? Yeah, I'm still learning. I'm still getting used to it.
But yeah, I can grip with it. Oh, yes, fangled
technologies. Now the trains have stopped working. I mean, this is gonna
have to be our new magic technology. Perhaps, perhaps, indeed, perhaps
we can get it back. Oh maybe it just needs a little restart.
Listen, I got a question for you. I'm looking for a person.
I'm sure you're not surprised by that. Oh, no, of course not.
There will be more blood on my hands at the end of this conversation.
No, I'm actually looking for them alive. Oh, oh, a
person that they were fighting nearby here though, sure if they're alive. That
inquisitor, Oh, you're looking for the inquisitor. Quite hard to find they
are? Who attacked them trying to avoid the inquisitor? A mad assailant,
yes, tiefling with ex sawed. Have you seen her around? Oh?
No, no, here that she ran off into the night, cackling,
casting lightning bolts from her eyes. I thought there was no magic. Stories
of all these lot coming in here. What they saw and what they want
to think they saw and impress their friends two different things. Have you heard
of the butcher of Bame? Hmm, I don't say I have someone who
killed a lot of people. Apparently it's a giant ghoul that went in and
killed everybody and flew off into the night. Gules dangerous things, but I
don't think they can fly. Yeah, well neither can I. I like
nudge him. You shouldn't tell me these things. Oh, you should be
used to it by now, old man. A whole homestead of people.
Well, I suppose you each make our own coin the way we make it.
That because I wanted to well, to try to torture me and kill
me. I mean, there is that, but I suppose they should shouldn't
mess with one quite as dangerous as you. Frightening as you are, you
don't look it. I'm not scary. M oh well, I can't say
I have seen your your assailant. Have you seen the inquisitors? Again?
Well, I haven't seen any inquisitors as a strange inquisitor that came by him
many months ago, woman looking a lot like a cat, who as you
had questions about this and that nothing to do with you and your lord.
I don't think. Well, I do say, though, there is this.
He closes his book and grabs you by you know, and old people
grab you by that part of the arm above the elbow, and it's always
really awkward, but you just kind of allow it, and they He begins
walking you through the tavern. You see a few people kind of look up,
and he doesn't move too much, but he moves very slowly, his
robes dragging on the floor behind him. He leads you towards the doors.
At first, it probably looks to everyone like you're being like thrown out by
the owner. And he leads you to the door and then steps outside and
walks a few steps and then points at the wall in thieves cant or what
do you think you and Reginald would left as a note earlier on for Ellie
to find? Oh my goodness, I so would we leave several notes or
just imagine that there are a few died around Okay, Oh my goodness.
I feel like for Ellie I would just leave one sentence things that led back
to Reginald's place, and each one would have something like remember when we I
mean, things that no one could place to anything is said, remember when
we fought the god of death? Things that only Ellie would know that would
relate to our group. And then what would the clue be as to like
the location that she should head to or find. Would it have like an
arrow of some sort or something? I think it would. There would probably
be a small map on it and then an arrow that would I mean,
I'm trying to think of the best way to do it because in my head
or it doesn't have a good idea of how the city is laid out,
but Reginald does. Yeah, you can you can assume if you want a
Reginald can I think we would put like a compass with the direction that would
lead to the next clue, and then if she found the next clue,
would show that a compass with the direction with another arrow right, Yeah,
like a bunch of arrows that lead or symbols that indicate west or you know,
alley way or something like that. So yeah, maybe you you're led
outside and there's just this note that says you remember when we thought the god
of death and then what essentially ash Blayde just for a second like looks at
me, and I actually the reason I like kind of little bit laughed because
I actually kind of got a little scared when she said, that's all I
can think about spighting the god of death now. But yeah, no,
I think he sees that. I think he sees like me freeze up for
a secon and then go, oh, this is what you're looking for.
I did wonder that's your code. Yeah, well that's enough to give me
a lead. It's what I needed. Yes, what is that symbol there?
Then don't worry about it unless you know the better. The inquisition comes
here. You don't really want to know this information, do you. Oh
you don't have to tell me twice, not without my spells. Yeah,
well i'd plan on not being too courteous to them. Well, I usually
just greet everyone the same. Find it gets me in and out of all
situations equally. Yeah, well I passed my tankard to him that I haven't
drank from it all. Okay, I guess I should follow this. Oh
well, oh, good luck. If you can cast spells again, come
and let me know, will you. We're gonna have to get you out
of that pact. I know a few ways. Yeah, well, let
me know if you find anything here we see without my spells. Now you
know how to find me. Good luck, dear perhaps you on the hand,
Yeah, I think I pat his handback. Good luck to walk off
towards towards where it's pointing. Yeah, you begin to follow these these markers
and these kind of memories. There are two or three distinct only Ellie would
noisms that are written in thieves can and thieves can probably isn't like a direct
sentence necessarily. It's probably just kind of a lot of symbols, and they're
quite hard to find. I think it takes you a little while to just
move down one place to find another one. But it's the type of thing
that you and your company have done a lot. The fact that Aura is
doing this might be a little confusing to you. There's no way she knows
thieves can or even knows kind of the tactics and things that you as.
I almost feel like I would think that this was an assassin or something doing
this instead. It would probably feel like that if it wasn't for the fact
that she knew so much, or that there were these very specific things that
are being said. Whoever she's with or however she's doing this, she's with
somebody that understands this tactic. It's not just the assassin's guild that uses this.
The thieves guild that you are relatively quote unquote friendly with and you understand,
use these similar tactics. So it could be one of those guys.
It could just be some of these old veterans that have been trained by yours,
your roguish types. You begin following them through the through the lowtown,
away from this kind of main street, and it takes you off into an
area of town that's just homes and just a very quiet area. It's a
better neighborhood, but still one within kind of the midtown. Mostly seems to
be families and people that kind of just work in the upper districts. Eventually
you come to you walk probably past one of the buildings, and as you're
walking past you glance once and then glance again and see a symbol that represents
that you found the location that you're looking for. There's a relatively squat house,
two story, probably quite expensive looking, but it looks pretty empty.
It doesn't look like anyone's in there. You'd say it was up for sale
if there was any sort of indication of that. They're not always. It
doesn't always have like a for sale sign out the front of houses in Bologna,
because people just move in and squat in, and usually you're taken to
the house when you want to buy it. So whether this is an empty
house or not, you're not sure, but it certainly looks like one.
And as the sun begins to set here tonight, a lot of lights are
on and lanterns are lit in these windows. But in this house the curtains
seem to be drawn. It looks pretty empty. I'm gonna take ah He's
dagger, and I'm gonna throw it through the window and then try to,
like as through through an open window through it. I'm assuming it's yeah,
I want to try like a smashing a window with the rock pretty much,
okay, and then try to conceal myself afterwards. All right, Aura,
I'm going to bring us over to the of the screen. You and Reginald
have spent the day moving around town, discreetly facing symbols and notes around town
that you hope that Ellie might find. You have written a letter that Reginald
has departed, delivered to a discrete location that he went off to and returned
to that pretty much outlines what you guys have been up to. That he
believes you to be trustworthy and that your side of the story slash bow slash
Ellie side of the story is to be believed, and that hopefully, working
together, you'll be able to piece more of this situation together, and that
in fact, you guys don't really seem to be working for the Dragonfly Crew.
This wasn't a part of your master plan to you know, destroy the
gods or remove magic or something of the like. He's delivered it, but
he doesn't know when you know worst and will respond to it. They have
like a set drop location that he's going to go and check intermittently. I
think after that you guys returned after a relatively long day of setting all these
things up and planning and preparing different outcomes, whether you would go and find
sooner, whether you'd find and interrogate Grim, whether it was about working with
the Inquisition if that happens to go wrong, like maybe contingencies, And maybe
you guys sat down in the center of this house with just a very small
candle lit, with just something very simple to eat that you would have picked
up, maybe just some bread and cheese or something like that, with a
couple of mugs of mead. And as you guys are sitting and eating this
thing, there's a sudden smash at the front of the house. There's one
of the windows breaks. Reginald moves with distinct speed as soon as this happens,
and he stands up looking around. He brings out a dagger, and
the way he moves, I think reminds you of Ellie. He does have
that kind of roguish training. It seems like he has that kind of swift,
secretive moving. He moves quickly across the room and turns to you and
says, well, it seems that the uh Inquisition have decided to come for
you in an aggressive manner. Unfortunately, I really didn't think they knew about
this one. Oh, I could come down and I'm I'm gonna stand up
and drama sword and look to see what was thrown through the window, or
go over to the window. Start moving over, but looking at this,
like the shattered glass on the ground. See if they throw a rock or
brick or something like that. Yeah, you you see Reginald move to the
other side of the building and starts to look around. You move towards where
the shattered window is and on the ground you see the dag of that Ellie
was presented by AHI all those months ago, a few months ago. It's
not it's not it's not the inquisition. Well, it's going to look like
they won't look like they have to look, is that yo? La?
I think you'll just see me pop up out of the shadow and be like,
and I'll immediately walk over to the window. Why did you break the
window? And I I can see we try to hugger but realize it's a
bad idea because of the shattered class Come in, come inside, okay,
And then I'm gonna go over to the door and open it and let her
in. Reginald is might like just looking so shocked at what's happening, like
his brain is processing something too much and he's just he's unable to move for
a moment. As you just open the door and let her in. Listen,
I had to be sure that it was you and not a trap.
Yeah, I know, I mean, I mean, honestly, it's smart
to throw that, of all things. Otherwise it was just a rock.
Yeah, I didn't know if it's arrived out of maybe a break. It's
kind of fragile looking, but glad it did. Yeah, and I closed
the door and I start doing the latches. Probably dragged dragged chair in front
of it. YouTube friends now or were trying to kill him? No,
no, he's he's on our side now. Oh but that I'll get Reginald.
I'm like, how that happened? But will and frankly it happened because
she's rather strong. Your people are trying to kill me? Oh well,
yes, attack me. See they didn't have much luck in acquisition. Yeah,
well, and everybody was trained by us. I was, yeah,
I know, very soon a little. Well, they got bo and I'm
pretty sure they have koloogie, so I think they're being tortured. Well,
no, no, no, I'm sure they're not being tortured, not unless
Bo decided to become quite violent. Is he likely? He's not a violent
type, but he'd probably like resort to singing a lot to annoy them,
but not be violent. Yes, I'm quite sure that Wurston can handle annoying.
Yes. No, I would imagine that he won't be under any recturesque,
that is, unlesser another team has come in. There is a Logi,
on the other hand, thinks everyone's a demon. So he's also drunk
though, yeah, well he's frightening right. There are a lot of demons
operating in and out right now, though, Well, I'm I'm pretty sure
that most demons are gone vanished. By speaking of demon, he thinks the
queen's a demon's probably poppy Cock probably mm hmmm. Probably. That doesn't give
me a lot of confidence. We're trying to get bow out. He wrote
a message to Worston to try to convince him to help us. Superior.
Hm hmm. We can't go to the guild. Zack will turn us in.
He gave me warning. He did give me a warning. But he'll
have no choice. He can't put them all at risk, So we're gonna
have to either figured us out by ourselves or hope that this worst in person
changes their mind. Who is that? Is that a leader? Yes,
he's in charge of our team here in Bologna, although there is at least
one other team. Oh yeah, we've never met them, and I'm surprised
they have not presented themselves to us, since we're rather undermanned. Who what's
this team? Well, they're rather aptly named the We just called them the
other team, and I'm sure they call us the same. We're on equal
footing there, just as important as we are. We're just as important as
they are. Well if you do not know any of them, no,
is there a reason? Are they like you and I? Or are they
you know? Were they magical? Well, they're more like we are.
There's a team of investigative types I would imagine mostly put together for acquisition of
ar can I given orders. Following the orders, how do you contact them?
What if we contact them? We've never contacted them. It's forbidden.
Well maybe there's some rules that go out the door right now. Well,
even if I wanted to, I'm not quite sure how there's no crossover between
the squads. That sounds rather useless. You think there'd be like a leader
over all this. Well, there's a very careful control of information. Should
anything go terribly wrong, such as our leader defecting, turning on us,
you really have trust issues like that, you need just kill them if that
was the case. I don't, but it seems my superiors did. Although,
of course our most superior superior is dead, so I'm not quite sure
what thel And then we can do it. We can find out how to
contact this group or maybe bring them out of the shadows. It is mine
quickest way to summon up one of us would be, of course, to
activate and use Arcani, but good luck with that, right, Yes,
again, I find it suspicious that they are not already active. Do you
know where we can find arc and I maybe make it presentable in the public,
make it look like maybe it's something that functions, so they find out.
I suppose we could try, but they would assume it was useless.
If I saw somebody building an arcaney in the middle of the street, I'd
walk past at the moment. No, we leave it as a trap.
We build it in secret, it to the street, make it seem like
it's something that works. Yes, we could try something like that. I'm
sure I could put something together that looks suspicious enough to be accused of arc
and eye and then you, you and me we go to the roof and
keep an eye out for anyone that might arrive. We could do that,
although it will of course draw the attention of everyone else as well, the
town watch and the other inquisitors. I'm not quite sure if Worston is going
to be on side. As long as we hide and get out of there
before it's too late, I think we'll be fine. And Aura can stand
back so that way she's not really in the middle of it all. Or
you can try to hide and I like, look at your sword, sor
it's probably still covered in blood from Bob. I don't think i've cleaned it.
Well, me guess, would you kill one person or two people?
How many people did you kill with that? I almost killed someone, but
he's in the clinic. He's fine. No, everybody said that you could
absolutely slaughtered this guy. And then you had lightning bolt eyes, like you
got a whole story going on about you right now, yeah, and lightning
coming out of your eyes. Maybe people will be afraid of me then,
and then I don't have to deal with Bob again. But I think he's
okay. I mean, Reginald said he's in the clinic, but apparently he's
very mentally unhinged, so just don't well, I think I can deal with
mentally unhinged. There's a few of those in the guild. Okay, So
do we try to do this plan or do we just go straight for it?
Well, we've been planning a few things, Okay, we were going
with the first plan, or his first plan was to sit and wait for
Sooner to arrive. We're going to see if Weston is in agreement with working
together. Maybe we can free bow and perhaps kaloogi. And where was soon
is supposed to meet us? Well, I told her we were at the
guild, but I also, oh, no, she can't go to the
guild. I had zach Sen word to all the port towns in an attempt
to find her and tell her it's not safe here. But she has to
come here, you know. I told her it's not safe here. An
old woman coming here by herself with inquisitors hunting us down. And I mean,
you nearly killed one, but apparently they got bo. I thankfully haven't
seen one yet. But well, besides you, Reggie, but uh,
I just don't think it would be safe for her to waltz on in here,
considering she was very much a magical user and would be rather powerless against
some of the are top top dogs. I mean, I could just go
to the port and wait for her. I can, I can bring her
back here. I don't. We could do that, and I could try
to find more information on but it also get you out of town, so
that way you know you're safe. At least which port would you'd be coming
in from. You know, there's a few that she could come in on.
I guess we'd have to wait for a word to come back. I'll
send her message and I pull out a little note, and I'm gonna send
buns to find sooner. Done's gonna be able to find sooner? In my
heart? Yes, all right, what are you right on the now?
Don't go to the guild. Let me know where you are. And I
try to keep it as vague as possible so that if anyone intercepts it,
that they don't know what I'm talking about. And I just quickly wrap it
up and I go to the window that's broken, and I tie the note
to buns of legs and send him off. So what about what about Bow?
We're just gonna let him stay locked up and Reggie, you think they'll
torture me if I turn myself in Hmm, well unlikely, it isn't unless
the worst has been displaced with somebody rather more nasty. I would suggest we
have two real options with Bow. We wait and hope that Worston is on
side, and that we can go and meet with Worston and have him free
Bow. Alternatively, I suppose I could try and break him out. Yeah,
we'll get well. I don't know your skills, but you might get
caught. I probably will. Then we won't have you well, and they'll
torture you. Don't know what you know about us, and they'll find us.
I doubt they'd tort me again unless somebody rather nasty is in charge.
Now I'm really not quite sure. You haven't even heard back from the letter
yet, So I think we got to see what he what he says,
perhaps what about you're looking rather? What have you been doing for a week?
Would you like some of this bread? Sit down? Relax? I
think he'd have to like force me to sit down, but I will take
the bread he pushes it towards you. Let's take this one step at a
time before we go rushing off and breaking into the inquisition dungeons. I bounced
for about a week because I know that they were hot on my trail,
but it was with the plans of hoping that they thought that I bounced for
good. So well, I would imagine that they They probably wouldn't expend too
much energy looking for you, and were incredibly undemanned. Unless Worston has brought
in a few extra hands, they really wouldn't be quite trained to the level
that he is. Bob is indisposed and that's it. So Weston's probably focusing
his efforts on bow. Yeah, if that's good or bad. I mean,
he has a bard. He likes to sing songs and tell tales as
well. It's not impossible that he would have focused his efforts on sooner as
well. But at the last we knew, we weren't sure where she was.
You don't know as she is m she's incredibly difficult to find. In
fact, we have almost no records of her at all. Oh also,
as soon as maybe she does never magic, but she's resourceful. She'll figure
stuff out. Yeah, she is resourceful, and she's really good at making
friends. I'm like myself, so I'm sure even if she ended up in
the city, she'd make enough friends to make it matter. I mean,
you remember she befriended that guy in the bar that we all thought she was
kind of gonna hook up, and then go and I went off and stole
some items and then I became cursed. Oh and then I died. You
remember all that. Yeah, she made friends there. We have some questions
about that curse. Oh well, I'm not cursed anymore. Yes, but
I'm rather interested in curses. I always have been a lot of fascination curse
people. Well, I know, I've never been able to do anything like
that. I have absolutely no knack for magic at all. Here, drink
one of these. Here you go. He palls you a maid and pushes
it forward. Blacks in the morning, I'll I'll check the drop box and
if Western's on side, perhaps we can engage in one of these plans of
yours. I hold it up to him and I'm like, no, no,
no, you take a sip first, very well, trustworthy. We
we did it. And I hold up my hand that's been bandaged. We
did an alf Does he drink from it? Okay, cheers ha, We
got her, he says, and points at the drink while you split it
back in and then he gives you already touched your mouth. So then we're
gonna flip back over to the port town of daydon the three of you that
headed upwards and moved up into the town proper. These spiraling kind of stairways,
these alleyways, these kind of darkened little streets that are underground, lead
upwards until eventually you're back out and in the kind of daytime the sunshine.
You see now a kind of open plateau. There's not a lot of levels
to this. It's mostly manually constructed, so it's just a huge flat kind
of piece of land apart from towards the top, towards the mountain side,
where you see this cathedral that looks very similar to a to a a lighthouse
with the kind of squat castles around it. In fact, all three of
you can roll for me for that. You move out into an area there
there's a bunch of trees and huge crossroads, and then all of these little
civic quarters and homes and you come out into an area that you recognize Cairo
to be relatively near the Survivors Market, which sits about two thirds of the
way down the main plateau Hippo, and sooner you looking up towards the cathedral,
recognize the cathedral to be in service of Salouna, the moon maiden and
the goddess of the Moon, and also it seems to have been constructed in
honor of a lesser Demi god known as Valcour, who is a sort of
a powerful sailor or a patron of sailors and ships and favorable winds and naval
elements and things like that. You can see that the a troop of guards
move past you. They glance at you, but while you kind of maybe
for a moment feel a little nervous since you're all kind of somewhat undercover,
they just carry on speaking and walk past you with their spears. They're in
relatively resplendent armor that's whites and blues and silvers, and you start to recognize
this kind of theme throughout the top side here of Dayton, of these whites
and these blues and these symbols that represent Salooney and Valcour, who are for
the most part, I think sooner it strikes you as you step up and
you notice on the chest plate of one of these guards you see the symbol
again, and it's a strange symbol of a pair of eyes with several stars
around it, and then underneath it, coming out from the bottom of these
eyes is a cloud with three lightning bolts, and it's kind of seems to
be a town sigil, but it's also a very religious thing. You can
see that there are a lot of clerics and religious types around here. For
the most part, people are moving with purpose. It seems to be quite
busy. It feels like you've walked up into a kind of market district pretty
close to where all these market areas are. You iro know that this is
very close to the Survivors Market. There is the Enchanters building is nearby as
well. The blacksmith is nearby that you'll be able to pick up ippos things
from, and there are lots of market stalls here with this kind of clear,
clean ocean air. These market stalls lining the streets up to a point
where there's a big market square known as the Survivors Market, and a lot
of the area is also shaded by these trees that line the streets. It's
actually quite a nice looking town. Even though it's kind of all set on
this militaristic background. Up on this thing, it seems to have lended itself
a little more towards a comfort and culture in modern years. So yeah,
I think Cairo, you begin to guide everyone towards this market. And yeah,
it's really obvious that you're inner market, and you can start looking around
on these stalls. If you want to just start collecting items and picking them
up. You can make a list and tell me afterwards what you pick up
and buy, right, And yeah, we see you three moving through this
this district, and you're all being relatively cautious as well of hearing eyes.
As an inquisitor Cairo, you know that there are so many more informants and
people who are looking to score a silver piece from someone that they can sell
information to. Especially import towns, it's always rife with people looking and noting
people and selling that information onto the watch or to the inquisition and things like
that. So while you're being careful, it's not always necessarily the easiest thing
to do, but still you're cautiously moving through this market. What is the
route, what is the plan? What are you guys doing next? Well,
I think that we should be very very careful and quiet as we go
through here and get only what we need. Didn't speak only to who we
need to speak to. So should we look for the disguise kit first?
Brad? Did you say we're sending you a list and we've already moved through
and Gartnener things? Is that yeah? The next step? Or yeah,
if there's anything you want to buy, any things that you want to pick
up, let me know and we'll just so we can just say we acquired
a disguised kit. Yep. You have to be aware that you have all
to see if we got a disguise kit for a gnome. Remember that you
only have twelve inventory slots in the quest system, so if you're buying things,
you have to be aware that you might need to part trade some of
those items if you want to. If you want to buy a disguise kit,
you'll probably have to switch out something if you don't have an empty slot.
And yeah, so I think a venture, you come to a stall
that seems to sell supplies. Looking a little closer, you realize that most
of them appear to be thievings supplies. It's the type of thing that you
expect to see in Ellie's armory. In the guild there are crowbars and cowtrops
and daggers, and a poisonous kit and a disguised kit and thieves tools.
There are like little little vials of things. And as you step up,
there is a halfling with an eye patch over one eye, two fingers missing
on one of his hands. As he sees you look across the things,
he points at one of the vials and then looks up at the three of
you. Who looks the richest out of three of you, because you're not
me, spattered up looking really Harrow spent a few weeks on an open ocean,
so I think he just kind of to all of you. He points
and says, Wivern poison. That's what that is, you know, OD
is to get hold of a vial of Wivern poison, that amount of it,
and I'm selling it half price today. All the magic's gone. Everything's
half price. That you can see, especially the Wivern poison. He points
it to h He sort of thrusts it out towards you, a small vial
of kind of a clear looking liquid could just be water for all you know,
But just a just a disguised kit. The disguise kit you want.
You know, I've got a good one here, or a ship one now,
the ship one used. No, you don't want that, do you.
That's ten gold pieces. Now I've got a fresh, brand new one
here, twenty five gold piece has never been used. You don't want to
be using lippy what someone's put on their old krusty lips before. Do you
get a fresh one, brand new? Everything you need in it. Makeup
a little bit of that and I'll throw in this cloak. You can throw
it over your massive head. I think it's probably best. And I'm saying
this loudly enough that he can hear me, but I'm pretending to whisper.
I think it's probably best if we go for the used, used kit.
And you know how it is when you're going off disguising yourself, going to
keep a terrible set of eyes from seeing that, you're going to need a
fogery kit. Look at that paper pens, a few second documents, and
all you got to do is fill in your own name costume party. I
really don't think she needs to get the costume party. It's the end of
the world. Who's having a party. Well, why wouldn't you have a
party at the end of the world. You sold me on that. Where
is it? I'm coming, I'll join it. I'm shutting this thing down.
Everything off, it's up the stairs. I say, twenty five gold
pieces for that. That's twenty gold pieces for you. We're going to a
party twenty gold pieces and throwing the forgery kit for fifteen? What if we
do fifteen for the kit and the cloak, and I'll tell you where the
party is? Fifteen for the kit and the cloak? The cloak? What
was for? Oh? You're having a laugh. Get out of here.
Trying to swindle me. Do you want to go to the party or not?
You ain't really going to a party. I can tell when someone's swing
me. Here you go. How about this serpent venom? Oh? Look
at that fresh caught it the smalling out of a snake's mouth. I think
we best find a kit somewhere else, all right, tell you what I'll
do for you. I'll throw in this is sack, the sack of what
mystery sack? What's inside the sack? I don't know? Twenty five gold
for the forgery kit, the the disguised kit, the cloak, and the
sack of mystery. Twenty five gold pieces for all this. Huh, I've
been swindled by a swindler. Did you just give us the used one and
be done with it? Oh? No, I don't think we should.
I think there are plenty of stars, you know, I think I look
at us one, then oh look at that peas all over the stuff.
You don't want her peace closes the top. I'll throw it away. Let's
not even say it's on side. I'm not sure why you're selling it.
You're right, I shouldn't sell it. The only one I got is this
one range disguised kit. So are you going to do the disguised kit for
fifteen gold? Forget the cloak? Came in on a ship from the mist
lands. The elves they can hide themselves in a little glade of darkness.
That's the old disguise kit. You'll never see anything better, right, So
fifteen gold for that instead of the twenty and forget the cloak. Tell you
what come on? That cloak's definitely worth more than five gold. Forget the
cloak, give us the thing for fifteen You throw in that bow. I'll
give you it for free. That's a beautiful all right, we're wasting our
time like that. You get a job at the tavern. We're rich inside
of a week. I would like to use an ability please, yeah,
yes, Hold on, The question is which one am I going to use?
Hm hmm finger of death or whatever it's called. Well, I was
going to do look over there and then just take it, but I'm not.
I don't want to do that. I will instead, I will instead
use the relief where they feel the best they've ever felt before. I will
use that again. You say something comforting to a nearby creature, alleviating them
of anxiety or pain and discomfort for one hour in the state the creature cannot
be affected by fear of confusion. For a brief time, they feel better
than they've ever felt before. What do you actually say? Oh, you
know you're you're a very very good salesman. If I had it, I
would definitely buy all the things that you're putting down. But unfortunately we can't
and we must be going. But you did a great job today. It's
been a long day, made too much money this week. Everyone's freaking out
here. It's the end of the world. I tell you, they don't
reckon it's the end of the world. But the temple's freaking out. And
if they're freaking out, I'm freaking out. I reckon, it's the end
of the world. You and me, I'll tell you what we'd go places
were it not the end of the world. There you go, Hey about
that? Take it? Go on. Fifteen gold, But you don't get
the cloak. You can have this instead, signal whistle. A signal whistle.
That's a signal whistle. Yeah, like you blow on it when you're
in trouble. Yeah, all right, thank you. It's very kind to
whistle. Thank you. You're welcome. And I'm sure we can scrape together.
Fifteen gold. You've got gold on your sheets. Remove fifteen yep from
whoever's removing fifteen? All right? Or five each? What a wonderful day?
See, Like, what's your name? Then as you walk away,
where are you going next? Rifle parts? I think, right there we
go. We gotta danger whistle and we got a yeah, we got a
disguised kid. I think I'm going to be a cat. Okay, Oh
took that wonderful. I think that would be I know one. I'll do
my best. What do you you know, Ippo, here is a painter.
Perhaps he could help you. Yeah, not really, just I mean
you don't have to, but might hell we well, well we can see
when we get a minute. I just need I need, I just need
the pan for the reason. It's all because it kind of loose with the
mess fires and last's get a card out of here. I think that's probably
best. Just top. It's just an important part stuff and fish, you
know, to the blacksmith down here in the market though, right, not
the one you know, I think, so, yeah, you're going to
Yeah, no, the enchanter is the point of contact, is the one
that I know. And that's a commoner's point, which is all the way
at the other end right of town. You are in the market district,
which is where the blacksmith is. It's pretty obvious which one is the blacksmith.
There's lots of swords and shields and pieces of armors sat outside. There's
a person that's looking them over. As you move past them head into the
the blacksmith, you see that there's a you can see somebody in the bank
who's quite short looking, working next to a very large, well lit forge.
It's like incredibly hot. The moment walk in, it's relatively chilly,
it's like not it's brisk outside, and as you step in, it's immediately
unbelievably hot. In the center of this shop, it's kind of a circular
interior, even though from the outside it looked a little like a kind of
cottage, maybe with a red tiled roof. As you step in, it
feels kind of circular in the room or along all of the edges, apart
from the back end, where there's a door that leads into another room.
There is swords and bows and guns and shields and sets of armor, and
you can see that like everything seems to be for sale, though there aren't
any price tags or anything like that. It feels more like an actual forge
than a store, but with all of the things on the sides, you
get the sense that everything is just a sale. Around the back of this
huge forge, you can see a halfling woman working on something, some pulling
some hot row from this boiling forge, and a huge set of goggles out
of her eyes. She lifts them onto her head and says, hey,
hello, hi, well hi, oh you're from Barris. What are you
from Bearris. No, oh, you sound like you're from Beariss I get
I get that. Are you from clip Side? No, it seems like
you're from clip Side. No, I'm sorry, No it's again. Okay,
Hell I've just been around. I have anybody from clip Side in years
that's going to go back home. Well, so I'm looking for a replacement
panned from a rifle. Here. This one a bit cracked AND's just sort
of held on old bottle. Let's take a look at that. You find
this, Oh yeah, I picked it up. You picked it up on
the ground. I'll buy the whole thing antique. Well i've been using this,
you've been using it. I want to shooting contest with I believe you've
been firing This old thing just belongs in a museum. Well, I need
a replacement one. If you want to a swamp, I'm happy. Oh
I'll do a swap. I let me see what I got. I've got
some rifles here. What about this? What do you like? You like
long range? Long range? Like not to see someone in the eyes,
because we got some stuff here to see that. You look at this here
He hands you what looks like a very small spyglass she's just trust not attached
to a gun. Thrust it towards you. Look at that they called that
ice scope. As you look through it, look out the door. M
I see that you put you there's at watches on the bottom of it.
That's how you size up how far you can shoot with the drop. Okay,
okay, you know quite the long. But you can shoot someone up
on the cathedral from the bottom down by common as point cool. Well that's
quite for I don't I don't really intend to be you. I mostly use
it for hunting, you know. Oh, we've got hunting rifles. Hey,
look at that. We've got a selection over there, three four of
them. You don't want that one on the right. That's probably a little
too expensive for you, but you just can have a look if you look
at this one on the left. Here take your pick. Okay, well
i'll take a look. Swap. Those are brand new. Oh what's an
antique? Then? I mean quick fond of that. It's that that's got
me my dinner for you maybe twenty years or you'll get nice. You can
take down anything with that. You just won't be shooting nothing with this.
You shoot this two or three mare times that's going to fall apart. Look
at the state of it. What have you done? Scratched up the sides?
What's that? Is that mud? You've got straight with? All that
mud did? Mostly there was a big snake. He's been shooting snakes.
It was really big, and I was shooting it right. Yeah, Well,
most people, I think, don't they just get a stick with a
little loop on the end. Can't a snake? No, this snake is
big enough to know. A snake that would swallow a person. Hole.
Oh, you've been fighting giant snakes, you old man. Well, well
we'll not really fighting, sort of shooting in a panic, and hence why
it's got to be a bit broken. Well, you don't want to be
shooting all big snakes. You should be sitting at home with your grandkids,
sitting telling stories a big snakes, not be sitting out in the Oh.
Hello, can I help you too? Oh, we're just we're just sorry
to interrupt. We're just waiting. It's an antique. You're probably never going
to see another one like that. To have it on display and whatnot.
You should give him the nice rifle. Yeah, swamp for that. There
you can you there, You should tell your gramps that you should use a
bone instead. You can. You can attach the story to that rason the
first place in a rifle contest over in CT. I think he's just fine
using what he's using. But thank you who's been in Yes, little norms.
Yeah, yeah, they've got some good guns, very good guns,
and very good marks. Probably well, not only is it an antique rifle,
but it's a winner first placement's rifle. You'll be able to tell everyone
about that steak with it as well. No one's going to care about your
I'll just take this one. You can take that. You take that you
want to box, We'll get you a box. Here you go. No,
I don't even need the box, just a sling and I'll just you
can pick a strap, take any one of them. You just that's good,
I'll do. I guess that works straight swap. Nice doing business with
you. Spits in a hand and holds it up towards you. He's doing
business with you. Just turned and walking nice doing business with you. That's
going to fetch price. Jeez, I just I don't like that. You
we can get out. Although I do think you could have gotten the pricier
rifle. I don't I don't even that. I don't know how I'm going
by with that even, But I mean, I'm just saying, you could
you know a little bit more haggling skill, ippo, and you could have
had that, You could have had the nicer rifle. See, there's a
reason I went over into the jungle away from people, all right. I
don't like them all that much. What's that if you don't like, you
know, people taking advantage of you. HiT's some I don't care. It's
fine, and go what I needed. I don't need too worry about it,
but I appreciate it. Right. Should we should we get out of
here? Then? Yeah? It is I think we should go and uh,
Brad, do I know where there'd be a little trade throughout to hear
the Kurts would be heading out of what would it be the eastern side of
the city. Yeah, you need to head There's only really two ways in
and out of the city. It's all the way up. You have to
go through one of those little squat castles that sit walls that run along and
all the way around the city, all the way up to the mountain edge.
Between the topmost part of the city is the cathedral thing and on the
either side of that a couple of little castles, and one of those is
attached to the walls on either side. Through one of those castles, through
the gates out onto the main road, and you'll be able to probably grab
one of the I mean, you could hire your own cart. You could
probably hire horses if you want. But if you want to just hitch a
ride, then really you just need to get on the road and hike the
way you would hitch hike any other way sooner. So yeah, I can
fast like all in the see. Sorry, oh about that. I don't
know if we want to hitch a ride or you know, hire one.
Sorry, Bradley. One question. I sent a message. Would you be
able to tell me how much I have left after that purchase? Oh,
let's see, let's see, thank you, how much it is. I
happen to have an awesome set of I will reply to you here it is.
Oh, I'm afraid I have barely anything. Maybe some silver, so
perhaps we could pitch, but to just hit a ride anyway, Yeah,
look, we'll just we'll go to the gate and hopefully I want to have
to flash this and I show her my badge because you know, all the
wrong kind of attention. But if on that, wait a minute, what
if we just can you? Can you commandeer a cart? Is that something
that you do? How much? Is how much would a car be?
It might make a little news? Is all I've got gold? I could
if a car in a horse, I could how much? Let's go see
how much horses would be? Are you up for riding? And I look
at each of them? Maybe a would comfortable? Sure? Did I tell
you that I saw unicorns? What I saw? Or yes? I don't
think any any ride would compare to that natural? Yes? And we we
rode them. We flew, I flew on a unicorn. Yes, that's
right, it's magical. Cairo, do you want to take them to the
monument in town? After? He sorry? So you get why would I
take them to the monument? May have a unicorn there? There'd be there
is a monument in town that has a unicorn. En route if you're leaving
as you have this conversation about unicorns, Cairo suddenly grabs both of your hands
and rushes around a corner in an upper street, kind of a little off
course from the way you were heading, moving quite swiftly, but you know,
still rather stealthily. She takes you to an area outside of the kind
of market district in a in a just a lower district around the middle of
this kind of plateau, and there's an area with a street outside that has
a kind of row of hedges, kind of small park kind of area,
very very small, and in the center there is a heroic monument to Queen
showsh Alexander, the first warrior Queen of Alexandria. She's mounted on a unicorn
with two curved blades held above her head, and her armor is like ancient
looking to you, guys, it looks similar to a kind of combination of
our samurai armor. But she has like a thick, bare skin cloak as
well, giving it an almost Nordic feel. And she's just a huge,
imposing figure on this unicorn that she's riding. Taken another history lesson about the
city and I and I turned a sooner and say, I didn't think there
were real ones. I think that was a bit of embellishment there. Well,
well that one doesn't he have wings, so you've worn up. Yeah,
it was a biggas this unicorn, and I mean there were there were
four of them. Actually, we each we each world one and into battle.
In fact, I mean, I don't know magic, there's still I
don't I don't know now, but it's a good story. Now anyway,
about the horses, cart horse and cart horse, all right, car,
and I'll lead them to where we could hire one. Yeah, So your
plan is to hire a sort of carriage of your own two day. It
depends on how much. It depends on how much it costs you. It
takes you a little while to move all the way through the town. You
move along the eastern wall, heading up towards where these sort of castles are.
There are a lot of kind of militant types. They kind of the
the town watch and militia. They also kind of seem to have that kind
of that sense of religious importance in this town. It seems to be a
town that's relatively religious, with this huge cathedral hanging over everything. When you
get to the one of the small squat kind of castles, and these really
are just kind of a cube with bastions on the top of people walking the
walls, and you can see that they have lots of guards. But the
gates that lead into the castle and under through this castle and then ultimately to
the large gate that leads out of town. All appear to be open.
It's kind of a huge thorough through. There's lots of people moving back and
forth. Several of them are being stopped and questioned by the guards. Though.
As you approach, you notice and by the gates there's like a stable,
and you can tell this would be a stable where if you were to
hire a horse or carts and carriages and things or maybe leave them. You
could probably leave your and stable your horse here overnight or during your stay in
town. This would be the place to go. Pretty large stable. But
it's outside the gate, the main gate, and as you approach the castle
you can see that there's there's just a lot of people that are guards and
militant types and things here. And I just wanted to warn you that if
you're just going to go waltzing up to it, if you wanted to set
anything up first, Yeah, probably a good ideas you want to get you,
Yeah, we want, Yes, it is probably best that we do
that first. Yeah. Is there anywhere out of the way right in the
in the little like area before the gater or stables that I could tuck away?
Absolutely, you can find any old corner. It's a huge sea,
really town. All right, I'll be going for you get to roll.
Did you have a proficiency for this before when we were in D and D
world? Ooh, I don't know. I've gotten a thirteen tbh. I
don't know. If Cairo did well, I've still be you. Thirteen is
tough choice. You succeed in your action, but there's a cost. I'm
not going to tell you what that cost is. Would she get help?
I mean, you guys can be helping her, Yeah, but it would
be the same role. Ah, I see it's not. It doesn't add
anything to her role. You all creep into a sort of a darkened area
of an alleyway, maybe just enough light to see what you're doing and working
on, and you begin to apply makeup and dress Cairo in fashion that might
be fit somebody of the varying TBANKSI clans that live in and around Alexandria.
Do you what do you look like? How does it look? You've described
to us what you do With a disguised kit. You can kind of have
a decent amount of leeway. It's mostly make up, though, be aware
as opposed to it's not like an endless satchel of a bag of holding with
wigs and you know, endless amounts of clothing. But I make the suggestion
of ears under my cloak. I'm hoping they won't, you know, I
want to pull my hood back. But you see two little peaked ears that
I've crafted under there, and I think we're going for kind of a plan
looking to BAXI sort of muted browns and tones like that. Maybe you know
some spots and things. It's a Lyra. Yeah, yeah, so I
would be going for that because that's what I'm familiar with. So yeah,
I think she would. She would end up looking ast as she could do
to Lyra. Cool. You do that and you step out, you it
looks pretty damn convincing. I think it's amazing. If you were to just
glance over, you wouldn't even question that this was the Banksy woman. Tobaccy
are not incredibly common in Alexandria or generally in Lacrine, but they're not so
uncommon that it would be, you know, like a thing that you would
do a double take if you if you saw a tobaccy, you're like,
wow, it's you know, a very interesting thing that's happening, you just
but they are relatively uncommon being close friends with Lyra, though, I think
you have a pretty good idea of like how to make this work. I
think the only place you would struggle is that to banks you have like kind
of light fur all over them, and they're basically cats. Your hands and
feet a little more difficult to disguise. Yeah, I would cover those up.
But the makeup job, particularly in the face, I think is pretty
spot on. And then you guys are heading towards the eight story first in
case they ask, we're an old couple and she was an orphan that we
took in. What I mean really, I mean she could just be our
friend three. But but it works a bit if you know it. It's
just why these two old people got a tobaccy friend. But why do you
have a tobaccy friend. I just think it's a you know, it's a
lot to just suddenly have children. I mean, what about the twins kids
grandkids? And I'm two friends ones adopted grandkids, and you're the caretaker.
Right, you start walking up towards there is a kind of archway that leads
underneath one of these castles that you can see would easily lock down and provide
an excellent kind of bastion for a militia to fight from you. You sort
of step into line. There's quite a few people moving. You can see
several carts. Now as you come into position, you can see that there
are lots of carts and people loading carts up and preparing to head out on
the other side of the larger gate through the castle. I'm going to let
it bo step forward, but I'm going to stay back and keep my back
turned. And you know, maybe be standing with the two twins and they
you know, they might be on the lookout for me, but they're certainly
not on the lookout for five people. Yeah, a particularly kind of rough
looking god. And he's speaking to a couple that are ahead of you,
and then turns to one of his men and whistles. They kind of move
through the gate and head on out. You see him turn to you,
and he looks at you, hippo, dead in the eyes. Hey,
good afternoon, a good afternoon. Get out away. Come on, hurry
up, all right, late in the school, come on, and you
all walk through with zero trouble whatsoever. No one even looks at you.
Yeah, who will let you get that. Yes, it was very nice.
On the other side, there is this stables. As you move underneath
these these huge kind of gateway that double locks, you move outside and there
is just a huge stabling area. You can also see beyond it there seems
to be a kind of an open pen that spreads out on the underside of
this mountain that's sitting kind of overlooking you here on one side. Beyond that,
there's a pretty open plane that runs along the upper side of the coast
that the road leads almost in a direct straight line east to be Lona.
It's a pretty straight shot walking horseback carriage. Anything two days by carriage is
what it would probably take you take you a little longer on foot. You
can see that there are quite a few people loading up carts with provisions.
There's a dwarf loading a load of stuff on the back of one of his
carts. You can see an elven couple that are kind of preparing two horses
if they load up the saddle bags, and in front of them there is

Now, by the way, do you know that? No? What
is that? Is it just because I added a game on your recommendation to
my my vote list for who can pick what games? And when I was
hastily typing in you know when you're typing something on screen and everyone's watching you
type it and you fuck it up, but I commit to it, and
so I wrote Katie peters Plaus presents Quantum Break, and that's now how it
is written and how it goes into the vote every time. And so now
you are Katie Peters Plaus. It's canon and I will rebrand. What about
young Zakota Kast in real life? He's very young. He's only seventeen in
real life. Yeah, that's a great job of holding up. But it's
a Glasgow seventeen right, So yeah, everyone, I'm you can fame me.
He's got to kiss and all the internet places also here on Tuesdays on
table. Sorry, when you play Alexander Peppin a even Claw student at Hogwarts,
and they have a podcast as Goadcast. My latest guess was was published
author and other things amazing role player and awesome person Aaron Black, So you
can find that we talk about his book Fire Wild Down. We'd want to
go pick that up on Amazon and Kindle Evan I haven't already, and give
it a read. I read it in two settings. So, oh,
he's here. Aaron's so wonderful. Is incredible? Look there, it's It's
amazing. He's probably my favorite role player on the internet and his book is
definitely in my top fifty three books of all It's really good. It's really
good, So give it a read and then tell him how much you loved
it. He really appreciates that. He needs to feedback. And then when
you watch him on Friday's and reymy the Frost meaning here on table, so
you tell him how amazing is He's so good? I love Ray and then
so much. Also tell me how amazing. It's funny because we're trying to
make him, but it's also kind of true. Wait, can I read
my favorite part from the back of the blurb? Yes, typing most of
his books using only his elbows. It's surprising he makes so few spelling mistakes.
I love it, That's what it is. It's not surprising he wrote
the entire novel. Do you think even more impressive than we realized that Aaron
Blank and he knocked up this show. But we're shouting the longest shout out
of everyone here, including a Tuesday Gray. Hi, I'm Aaron Black,
and I am the themed author of Firewall Down. It's a really, really
good book. It's the Actually, I have nineteen percent left to read a
Firewall Down according to my kindle, and I am a long kindle that if

the end of it. Thank you so much for watching. Dear viewers,
