In the year two seven fourteen, a new squad of operatives was chosen by
the College of Allusion. These fools promptly went on to frustrate their DM at
every opportunity. Today, still working together, because really, who else would
work with them? They survive as adventurers of fortune. If you have a
problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them,
maybe you can hire the Second Breakfast Club. Tony Kenney as Eddie thousand
Only, Jesse Owen as a deer a Glow, Michael Cole as Urog,
Jesse Wicks as Phil Purvalance, Nico Rodriguez as your DM. Welcome back to
the continuing Tales of a Fool's Quest. Okay, so here we are.
We are back, and you guys have two beads in your pocket. Everyone
is feeling a little bit better after getting a little bit of rust and whatnot.
The beads you have are your own bead and there the yeah, the
Bells beads, the Halflings beads. And then they approached you and tried to
get you to either sell them the bead and then work together. And they
were going to try and get you to, you know, let them win.
Essentially, they were trying to bribe you, which is a tactic you
can use as adventures, especially if you're a well funded group like they are.
They're definitely the richer of the three groups. And it's still late morning.
You guys had a wild morning. Somebody had really fucked with your alarm
clocks and messed up your bedrooms and stuff. And that was some really powerful
illusion magic some of you have not encountered before, but it was very targeted,
so it wasn't an illusion that everyone else saw. It was illusions that
only you guys saw. So you do notice that that was a little bit
different. Somebody had our voodoodels. Yeah, we had a little little trickster
things going on here. I'm still not quite sure who that was or what
that was about. The other bead that you need to get is from the
Potters. Those are the half works, and yeah, you've got to recover
that bead. And once you can do that, then you'll be good to
go in order to submit to be the next actual adventuring party. And now
I'm missing Am I missing anything? Jesse? You leveled up after last game
session, Jesse, you'll level up after this recording session, so it's not
confusing. Yeah, no, yeah, which is like four episode three or
four episodes. That's the thing too. So yeah, all right, and
you guys were on breakfast duty, so you didn't have to clean the kitchen,
but you did have to clean the cafeteria, which of the jobs is
the less gross of the ordeals? All right, So I guess at this
point, right now, we've got two of the beads. We just need
the one from the potter the Potters, although the Bells think the Potters have
there's, so maybe we can get them to help us get that last bead
because they think they'll get there's there too. What if we convinced the Potters
to, hey, if you guys can manage to get one of those beads
away from the Potters, we'll get the other one, and then we'll work
out a deal with just you guys and have them grab it from there.
What you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard.
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to
anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now
dumber for having listened to it. But then we got we still got to
get from them. Yeah, this is why I don't make the plans.
Nothing comes to mind at the moment. I think we're just going to have
to wait for an opportunity. I mean, I don't think that, uh,
we're gonna have any luck getting information out of the lead girls. Keeping
the lead girl of the powders her my Hermi de Ranger. Well, yeah,
I wanted to call her by not her name's de Ranger, d Ranger.
I can't spell her my d Ranger because she's deranged and she's a hat
fork. Oh that makes sense. So I think maybe our best tactic if
we're going to try and smoothe our way and will be anybody else, So
they should be at breakfast too, right, we all three all three groups
show up to breakfast, Yeah, lunch, lunch, but yeah, okay,
so I can try and break off and get in with one of the
others, find out where they're hiding their beads. But if you'd liked me
too while we're at lunch, I think it's primary plan, but information to
always help for right, Yeah, it couldn't hurt. What are the odds
they have it with them or compared to habits stashed back at their rooms,
their little headquarters on the west side. Maybe while they're at breakfast, we
could go fish around to who we could find. Well, I think you're
probably the sneakiest of us. So stick the face on him at breakfast and
I'll go see if I can reason William Yeah no pun intended. Yeah,
So all right, that sounds like a plan. So Bill breakfast, you
engage them, trying to keep them, you know, chatting, and see
if you can get information. But if not, just try to stall them
well, tries to figure out what's what there in there their house. Okay,
so we're splitting the party. It's always a great idea. I love
it. I'm gonna grab before we leave. I'm gonna grab a little uh,
I'm gonna grab some of the some golden to take with me in case
I have an opportunity to maybe slip it in somebody's food while I'm talking to
him. Okay, And like I said, so your main little sanctum there
area is spell caster stuff are on the outside, books, you know,
tome stuff like that, but on the inside, it's you know, kind
of like a I got old school detective agency. You've each got your four
desks that are all lined up in a square box, and you've got like
your research areas there, so yeah, I mean you've got golden root up
on one of the shelves and one of the jars that you can use for
spell casting. So yeah, I'm gonna grab that and shove it in a
packet before we head out. All right, yere, I guess that leaves
you and I had to clean the clean up after breakfast. I've already grabbed
a broom and like pushing furiously a bucket a mob all right, So I
mean you guys can eat and stuff first. You've had to do breakfast duty
before. This isn't new. It's just one of the things that happens with
the students. And obviously somebody really messed with you to get out of doing
duty today. But yeah, so you guys all had to the cafeteria with
the exception of UAG. So let's do who first. So you go to
the Potter's house, right, Yeah. What I'll do first is go to
the roof of our area and go eagle for him again, okay, and
fly overhead to scope it out from the air first to make sure there's there's
no extra sentries or that sort of thing, because I know Hermie is rather
adept. Yeah, so you notice this house appears to be only two floors
tall, but you do know that there is some illusion, heavy illusion magic
around this place. Also, just like your house, you do, there
will be some initiates and young students and stuff that will stay in this house
as well. They will have access to the you know, the Potter's floors,
like they don't have access to your floors really, but there are other
students that kind of come and go into the Potter's house. So getting in
is not going to be super difficult but also likely noticed. Okay, Now,
as initiatives do, they have familiars and pets and that sort of thing.
Also some of them might Yeah, okay, so I will land on
the roof and change shape to a snowy owl. I was thinking weasel,
but it'll be ah, It'll have to be like a rather large weasel,
like easyly, like you know, twenty thirty pound weasel with handlers. Right,
and and happen here we should go for a rat, a capybara,
capybara, an antwerp, big teas and big there you go. So yeah,
and uh, I'll start to scattering around looking for a way in from
the rooftop. Oh, okay, there is a way into the rooftop,
so you find your way in. Once you get in, you find yourself
on the top floor. It's a balcony that kind of overlooks and looks down.
There's an observatory up here, and then there are what appears to be
four more floors below you. So it's a five story building on the inside,
only two story on the outside. You do notice, though, that
there are staircases and walls that seem to shift around, and the staircases lead
to different floors and different areas to where you would want to go. But
general intuition would tell you that the probably the first two floors are going to
be like the main activity areas where all the initiatives are allowed to do stuff.
You know, there's probably the kitchen down, their bathrooms, library,
that sort of stuff, and probably the bedrooms and stuff are up up.
I'm gonna be looking for the private quarters because that would I would think if
if I were going to stash it, I would be it would be stashed
in our private area. Okay, okay, So you're looking for their bedrooms.
Yes, all right, so you, uh, let's go ahead and
uh, let's let's go ahead and make an intelligence check. Two, I
got a three, You got a three? Okay? Yeah, all right.
So you start going up and down these stairs, and just as you
get to one stair which you think is going to take you to the fourth
floor, it actually shifts down and takes you to the second floor. And
you get off in the bathroom and then you turn around to get back on
the stair and that stairwell moves, and so you're standing there in front of
the stairwell and just as you're standing there, somebody walks out of the bathroom
and they're like, whoa, who's creature or you? And they move you
with their shoe. They like boot you to the side a little bit and
try to shoe you away from the bathroom entrance, kind of lead into their
leg and kind of kind of rub like I'm a pit. Okay, all
right. So they reached down and give you a couple of head scratches and
they're like, all right, I'll get the fuck out of here. And
the stairwell comes up and they usher you onto a stairwell that leads you down
to the main floor to leave. Okay, are they watching me the whole
the whole time or no? Okay, they kind of just want back to
doing their own thing. Okay. So as soon as you turn around,
yeah, I was gonna relocate him, try to find another way up.
Okay, So trying to make another role to see if you get into their
chance four six all right, so with a six, let me see this
is I have a bad feeling about this. I don't know what six is
still a failure. Six and you don't have any points in your intelligence intelligence
Yeah, I got a minus one. Oh that's a five. Yeah,
okay, all right, so you take like six or seven stairwells this time.
If you're like navigating here, like zipping around, get into different spots,
and just when you get off on what you think is the fourth floor,
you're in front of the bathrooms again, like you hear a flushing,
just a weasel something, damn it. And yeah, we're gonna leave you
struggling there for all right. Well we cut back over to the cafeteria.
So over to the cafeteria. Do you a bill in Adria? Do you
guys get food and stuff first? Yeah? Okay, so it's a.
It's a pretty big spread today. They've got some several different kinds of foods
that are around a lot of different types of eggs. There's some porsche read
a sauce to put on the eggs, and some ghost peppers, so it's
like they're like deviled eggs, right, and so they've got all these different
types of seasonings put on them, but they're big eggs, like think like
ostrich eggs that got deviled size, double size. There's also some like fruit
there, so there's some like pineapple and grapes and dragon fruit and stuff.
These things are kind of messy, so you can see that while people are
eating, they're getting sticky stuff all over the tables or you know, trying
to stab a spoon into their dragon fruit in a shooting liquid on the floor
and you're just making a mess. These magic Initiates are the fucking worst.
And uh and yeah, that's that's what you got to see. So what
are you doing as you meander around in probably just sighing resignedly? Grab some
food? Sit down, yeah, grab some food. Sit down. I'm
gonna try and get a look for the rest of the potters or their whole
group here already here. Yeah, all three of the Potters are sitting down
over at a table, kind of talking about some stuff. Hermid Ranger is
reading a book and and yeah, let me get back to the Don Beasley,
Yeah, yeah, Don Beasley and Gary Slaughter are fighting over a muffin,
Like they're both on opposite sides of the table and they're bickering and trying
to steal this muffin from each other. Well, Hermie is sitting next to
Don Beasley and getting really annoyed with the two boys were my first I'm so
much faster. Give it to me, Give it to me. Yeah,
I am walking through with my food at that time, and I just slap
the fucking muffin out of whoever has sit down. I'm gonna grab two muffins
from the while I'm grabbing my plate full of foods. I'm going to like
get it. Just be watching them on the corner of my eye the whole
time. So I'm gonna grab those and then, uh care if we apply
a little bit of a well nerch just sprinkling on the top of the muffins.
Okay, and take my whole tray of food and walk over and sit
down. But I'm gonna be trying and be like a little bit furtive,
not from them, but make it look like I'm trying to avoid notice from
my own group. Okay, all right, one second, I too.
I don't like how that came up when I was trying to do something that's
well, I mean, I mean it was at this woman. He knew
he fucked so in other news. All right, so you take that over
to them and you do what. All right, So I'm gonna just sit
down confidently right next to the boys and slide the extra muffins over to him,
be like, there you go, guys, I got some extras.
Listen, and I'm gonna turn back to uh hermidy and be like, listen,
I understand there's no chance I can get the bead from you. You're
never gonna give it up. But it's really important to me to get out
of this place. I can't stand being a little town. So I'm thinking
maybe we can make an arrangement. She says, Okay, what do you
have in mind? Well, I happen to know where exactly in the house
my group is hidden, our beats. I want out of here. I
don't have the most faith in them. To be smart enough to get them
away from you. But I want to make it out of this town.
This is, this is. I don't want to be in the school anymore.
And I know it's up to you to choose who your adventuring party is.
So I'm thinking, you've got what I want, I've got what you
want. You can work something out. Hermi says, Actually that's a misconception.
I know that I'm the most skilled and talented, but Gary Slaughter is
actually the one who determines the the adventuring party. He's the one that has
been foretold of. Oh of course, my mistake. I'm so so I
just assume because you're so you're so clever. I get it. I am
very clever, and these boys are idiots. But Don Beasley shoved half that
muffin that you brought over in his mouth already, just shoved it right in.
And Gary Slaughter is like hoaking at his but he hasn't eaten anything yet,
and he's like, well, I don't know that it would be a
big deal if you joined our party, Like I mean, did you put
on the magic hat that told you, like what kind of group you would
be in? I have not yet I thought, I thought that's something that
maybe you could arrange. Oh yeah, the magic hat is in our house,
and her mind's like, you're an idiot, an absolute idiot, And
Gary's like and it like really tells us who's gonna be in our party,
Like who could be a good fit. So I mean, if you put
on the hat and I feel like you look good in the hat, you
could definitely join our team. First of all, I look good in anything.
So what what what style of hat is this? It's a pointy one.
Yeah, so yeah that no, this is this is the time of
year for that. Sure, yeah, it seems great. That's It's exactly
that's off the question. No, i'd be I'd be thrilled to come over,
Like I said, yeah, as soon as as soon as we can
work out the deals and maybe we can make some arrangements to h to meet
up and maybe uh have those beats go missing from my companions. But listen,
I have to get back or else they're gonna get suspicious, all right,
So I just wanted to kind of, you know, give you the
heads up. I'll be back in contact as soon as I can. Yeah,
yeah, that would be great. Is there a good time that I
can come over and try on this hat. Uh yeah, I mean after
lunch today and you hear a kick under the table and he says, oh,
I mean maybe tonight after dinner. After dinner. Yes, I think
I can make that work. And I'm gonna I'm gonna stand up and enjoy
the muffins, take my train and walk over and sit next to party and
start helping clean up with all right, so you guys begin cleaning up and
we will cut back to ureg. All right, did you come up with
another way to find thee to find their bedroom? Become have instead of trying
to rely on just searching. I'm going to use my spirit talking ability and
also the fact that I upgraded it to thing talker so that I can also
speak with the spirits of inanimate objects like wood and stone and plant. And
as I'm foraging around and or quote upontoon of spirits of the wood and stone,
help me find these beads I seek? Where do they sleep? Guide
me? All right? So you call upon them? Is there a role
you have to do for that? It just says that I can understand and
speak to animals, and with the thing talker, I see the spirits of
sand, sea and stone, and can apply on my spirit tongue, shape
shifting and studied essence to inanimate natural objects like plants and rocks or creatures made
their as well as animals. Doesn't have any kind of a role or anything.
Okay, no role for that. So one of the stairwells twists and
turns and locks into position right at your feet for you to fund thank you
spirit at all, and you said that, take off. It leads you
up to the fourth floor, where you can make it to the bedrooms of
the potters. Is there a specific bedroom you'd like to search first? They
all have their names on him Hermes, all right, So her mind's bedroom
is meticulous. Everything in his it's it's great or it's in its own place.
Everything is very clean, dusted. She's got some notes left out next
to her bed, but after going through them, they're mostly just information about
illusion spells, general stuff that you assume that he already knows. Her mind's
not as natural as a magician as Eddie or uh Gary is. She is
a little bit more of a studied in the practice person, so think more
sorcer versus wizard. So she has to rely on her spell books and her
stuff versus having that innate ability to just cast on a whim. So that's
what she was studying there. Yeah, these Uh, I'm no, I'm
carrying two of the beads with me. Do they have a specific scent that
I might be able to discern? They have two different scents, Okay,
I'm trying to think about was near the other one during that whole Probably not
close enough to really Maybe I could sniff it out in the room. Yeah,
probably. I mean, yeah, I think about you when you're on
the right track that was checking the bedrooms. Yeah, I will let you
know that. Yeah, Oh clue. It's a clue. So I guess
I'll just start really sniffing around the room and seeing if there's anything that smells
very heavily of her. Yeah, something that she would have been in contact
with most recently. Yeah, there are definitely some cloaks and also her bed.
She slept in there last night, so those all smell really heavily at
her. But outside of that, there's nothing else that. Yeah, and
obviously I'm gonna I'm gonna root around with my nose like under the pillows,
under the covers, it like in between the mattresses. Yeah, yeah,
you Unfortunately do not find any bead or any secret hidden contraption there either.
Is there any like boxes or jewelry cases or anything nearby. She's got one
case of jewelry from like her family jewels, but there's no hidden compartments in
there either. It is just like stuff she never ever ever wears, but
obviously she keeps for keepsake. Is locked. Uh no, no, just
had a little latch. You can pop it open. Yeah. I don't
think I could do that, but I can. Yeah, I can do
it as weasel. I think I'm dexterous enough with it. Yeah. Yeah,
see how set up on my haunches and open it up. Yeah?
In there? Nothing in there? Okay, set it back down? And
uh there any paintings on the wall. Do the olda cliche? You know?
Is there a safe Ah? Yeah, there's no. There. There
are paintings on the walls, and they all their eyes shift and watch you
as you move around. Obviously illusion magic as you know, enchanted them.
Do I see or hear any spirits in the room? No, no spirits.
Okay, so all right, so followed meander to the next room whichever
When that happens to be. Okay, yeah, that would be down Besile's
room. There is right away, you notice on the chalkboard in a big
bold all caps letters, secret meeting about bead strategy in the library before lunch.
Okay, all right, and looking around his room, is there anything
that seems like it would stand out as a place to hide. His room
is so messy you would spend hours in here looking for stuff. You could
sniff around for the bead, but they are dirty socks everywhere. The kid's
room is overwhelming to my senses. Oh yeah, okay, So I'll make
a mental note of the bold chalk plan and head to the next room.
Super secret. Yeah, yeah, super secret. So Gary Slaughter's room is
uh, it's pretty clean. He's really got nothing, no, no real
material possessions, a couple of cloaks. He's got a broom there that he
uses to sweep his bedroom. It appears he's got his bed, which was
given to him. But like, okay, I'm gonna check the broom first,
ruffle through the straw parts of it. Yeah, there's a there's nothing
in there, but you do get a sense of a spirit in the broom
and it's like, oh, pardon me spirit, no, thank you?
Oh please, can you help me find a bead I'm looking for? There
haven't been no beads in here. Bristle me timbers, give one one little
pract and then head to a little well. Check it out. The cloaks,
Yeah, and the cloaks are just like school cloaks and stuff like that.
Or yeah, him like every thing has been like given to him that's
in this room. Yeah. Is there any uh like cloak hooks that are
looks like they're empty and uh no there there no no invisibility invisibility cloaks and
the hidden beat inside. No, Okay, let's see now he's got the
he's got the broom. Is he does he do sports and that kind of
thing? Do they do like the the quidditch type? Yeah, there is
a sporting event kind of like quidditch. Yeah, in the area where he's
I look for his gear. Yeah, it's in uh in a closet,
in uh in a chest in the closet, so like hanging under his cloaks.
There's a chest below it and you can open that up and find his
gear in there. Yeah. I want to look RUMs to there. Oh
so rummish there and you just find his normal gear in there. Okay,
nothing that really stands out. No, I mean you're into Wich is going
to tell you that her mind is probably not going to give those idiots the
bead. Yeah, I mean Gary Slaughter might be the one in charge,
but okay, he's not the responsible one, all right, So I put
it, put the chest back together. Oh, we'll go by, grab
the broom and take the broom with me and back into Hermie's room. Oh,
if you will help me find the bead in this room, I will
take you home with me. Okay, so my search sucks. I'm trying
to help. No, yeah, no, the you and the broom starts
looking through the room. There's no beat in this room, though, so
you're gonna search around in there for a little while. You're only hint right
now from this has been that they had a meeting in the library before they
went to lunch. So while you're searching around, then they're having a conversation
with this u dirtatious broom. We'll cut back over to the other three at
the cafeteria. He was unprepared for you to try and seduce the throwaway joke.
No, that is happening it swept him off his feet. Oh man,
we'll be right back after these messages. We're gonna give it another go
zinging Yeah, yeah, yeah, Reddy Hello, Hello with a Hello Hello.
Wait, wait till I get through the whole thing. Wait hello with
a bellowing hill Top Hello, Hello, get through the whole thing. No,
I mean that the whole thing. The whole thing is Hello. That's

We're on tune In, and you can find us on Twitter, and
you can find us on Facebook, and we hope you join us. Thanks
very much, And now let's get back to the foot So Bill, you
sit down and you have lunch with them. The tables start clearing up.
Anything you guys want to talk about, I'm gonna wait to tell them how
it went, or even make mention of the fact I sat over there until
the Potters have left. The Potters do get up, and they start to
leave. As they leave a lot of the other initiates will leave as well.
They start trickling out right then the Potters were like the first people to
leave, though, A handful of the tables start to empty out, giving
you guys room to begin cleaning. Did I'm gonna cleaned the Powder's table specifically
and check to see if they if Gary ever hate the muff and I gave
him. Gary did not eat the muffin that you gave him. He's the
only one of the three that made the role. I'm gonna cake. I'm
gonna take them muffing back and put it in my pouch. Might come in
hand it later. I don't know how, but yeah, I already poisoned
it. Don crushed that muffin before you even got it from the table like
that, like Adera and knocked the first one out of his hand. That
was Don's muffin to begin with, and and Gary was trying to steal it,
and then a deera smacked it on the floor. So as soon as
you gave him a muff and he crushed it. But yeah, so so
they did. Yeah, okay, they left that. I just want to
be prepared for who's going to be on my side. I'm gonna show up
later. Yeah, so yeah, after after they've left and I feel comfortable
that they're not he's dropping in anyway, I will tell them quietly, away
from any prying ears, about the meaning that set up, and maybe try
and brainstorm away. We can use that to get in for after lunch,
after dinner, after dinner. You're right, lunch, Yeah, because breakfast
was where you stole the first beat. It's been a busy day. I
guess it's just smart. Yeah, we can make that work. I figured
we can. If if we hasn't already gotten a hold of it, then
maybe we can work it out. Some way. But I'm telling you this
better work, because if I put on a pointy hat for this and we
don't get the bead, I'm gonna be very upset. I can't more like
embarrassed. I'm already embarrassed. I self consciously straight in my current hat.
It's nice father in it to make sure it's pointing the right one. All
right, I got So if you've got an invitation, you can get in
there. Just walk in the front door or Rag should be able to get
in. I don't see why he wasn't. I'm hoping we wait for him.
Yeah, well yeah, wait, I'm just thinking in the meantime,
I might need to prepare something. What are we able to do a ritual
to be able to cast the invisitive invisibility spell on both myself and Adia once
and maintain concentration on it. Yeah, for both of us for while we
sneak in there. I would say yes, but then you wouldn't really be
able to cast another spell while maintaining concentration on two people at invisibility specifically says
I can't cast another spell while it's ongoing. Okay, all right? Yeah
yeah, so yeah, I would say if you went to your place of
power and focused on it. You could cast that and then make your way.
All right, all right, I think I can. I think I
can keep us both invisible long enough to get everyone inside there if we If
we end up going that route, let's let's let's wait for uraging see what
he found out. Maybe we won't even need to go in. That would
be ideal. But all right, So as people trickle out, all of
a sudden, you hear a smash from the kitchen where the bells are,
and you hear them screaming and jump will you hear them screaming? Do you
feel this sense of ozone? The smell of ozone just fills the air around
you, and you all know that this is a wild magic event that's occurring
here that the cafeteria. These events happen infrequently and sporadically, but you know
the precursors of an event. Luckily you're not in the kitchen, but in
the dining room. You will see these creatures shoot up from one of the
trays. The very first one that you see is a creature. It was
chilling out one of the platters, and the platter begins to shake and tremble
and fall to the ground veggie trays, and just as it falls to the
ground, one piece of vegetable or piece of root really as the root shoots
a hoof out of its body, like a full sized hoof, and it
grows and it grows and crows until three more hoops shoot out of it and
turns into this giant horse Radish. And because you guys are all in uh
the cafeteria, you get advantage attacking this and you are officially in combat.
So roll initiatives. See who goes first between the three of you. Eleven
nine seven, okay, so Bill first, then Eddie, then Adeira,
then the horse Radish. It's a food fight. It's a fight, brilliant.
Yes, I'm just going to I'm gonna start smashing the symbols together real
quick, and uh get them, get them danger. I'm helping you,
and I'm gonna give h I'm gonna give dera two D four damage on her
next attack. All right, all right, you got him, you got
him, you specifically, okay, And I'm gonna back away slowly while I'm
doing it, and that takes us over to Eddie. I'm gonna cast invisibility
on Adira, just so it's not gonna did you grow ahead or anything.
Yeah, it's a whole. It's a whole. I want to make sure
it head eyes but made over. But yeah, that's right, I'm gonna
do that. That's an eleven on the spell cast. So no, uh
no negative? Yeah, facts very cool. Successful and you're invisible and you
do extra damage and it's your turn. Okay, I guess I gotta do
something, go Adra? Yeah, what do we like? If I go
into a ratio, doesn't that cancel the invisibility that he just said? It
does as soon as you attack. It does as soon as you canceled.
So your first attack is just always a surprise attack, all right? So
I should go into a rage. Sure gives you plus one on your arm,
on your on your damage, yeah, on all of your attacks.
So okay, and it doesn't hurt you to go into it. And then
I can hack and slash though too, Yes, ma'am, that's what I'm
going to do. Time to glow. This combination between you you guys is
so broken. You catch just buff and aim, which is a seven.
That's fourteen points a game, So how do you explode? That is double
the alpool of this horse reddish? How do you load this horse? Reddish?
Slice and dice? Wow. So I go into my rage and I
set my weapon ufl and I just scream and run out the horsehaddosh and just
jump and slash at its face with my exum. Okay, all right,
So yeah, so you cut it in half, it's splits in half.
And then as it's splits in half and falls to the side, you see
two devilish creatures up here on each side of the room. They are they've
got red horns in a red face with like yellow mixed in with it,
and then their bodies are entirely white as these two deviled eggs. It's going
to full form. I saw that. And let's jump over to Ura real
quick. Okay. So yeah, you're still up in the bedrooms with his
broom. Okay, I'm gonna just take a moment to pause, ponder and
look around and to see if I can discern realities after closely studying the situation.
All right, make your roll. That's roll plus my wisdom plus two.
So seven, eight, nine, nine, all right, so the
nine you ask only one question. So looking around, I want to see
what here is useful or valuable to me. So you've you've rummaged through these
rooms and you've gotten some good information about them. But the most useful piece
of information would be the note on the chalkboard that said that they had a
meeting down in the library if you can get down there, okay, Which
that one stairwell that you talked to is just chilling there waiting for you to
come back. It's Feneral Loyal stairwell. So since it was scheduled for right
after lunch, I'll just know it is before lunch or before lunch they already
met. Ah, okay, So I'll head back to the cafeteria then to
relay that information, okay, to the rest of the party. So the
library is in the same building here in right now, this library. Yeah,
they're library. I thought you at like the school library. No,
no, No, their library. The library in there in their house,
like two floors down on the second floor. So I head back to the
stairway. Could you take me to the library please, And it shifts you
sort of. I'll stash the broom in Don's in Don's room, shoving under
their Later we're like twenty five episodes in, they'll never find you find Mike
and his tent out traveling with a broom next to him. Just you hear
me talking and somebody anyway, okay, yeah, So it leads you down
to the library and that's where we will end this episode on a more serious
no. There have been several ages throughout the history of you Frey. The
first. Each happened before recorded history. This time included the creation of the
world as well as the universe where it resides. Some theories suggest that the
Twelve Gods walked the world of Euphray during this time, along with a group
of powerful magicians called the First People. This age ended when the giants learned
to magically seal texts and begin to journal their histories. Thus began the Age
of Giants, the first historically captured age in Euphray. While there are not
many texts that cannot attribute to this age, the handful of ancient books that
do exist have been incredibly insightful for modern scholars. It appears that during this
age the gods had already left Euphray or were in the process of leaving.
Giants held dominion over all the lands and seasons alike. The giants held several
nations, all of which migrated around the world. Each nation ruled over the
lesser races of humans, elves, dwarves, and others. While some ruled
fairly and with kindness, others ruled with an iron fist. Where each nation
of giants traveled, the seasons would follow fire giants for the summer, frost
giants for winter, hill giants for spring, cloud giants for autumn. Storm
giants brought the tempest, and stone giants shaped the earth. The nations moved
about Euphrate, worn with one another and leaving tides of destruction in their wake.
Over the centuries, the wars took their toll on the giants, and
their numbers dwindled. During this time, an event happened, a shattering of
magic within the planet itself. This shattering empowered many of the nation's lesser races,
gifting them powerful magic. The magicians rose up to overthrow the remaining giants.
The rebellion, which drove the giants to near extinction, also stabilized the
weather patterns in Euphrate, and so began the age of Chroniclers. It did
not take the chroniclers long to overthrow the remaining giants and establish small kingdoms of
rule, society split into factions. Those with magic were called chroniclers, those
without magic were labeled the mundane. Directly after the fall of the giants,
the chroniclers were kind and caring for the mundane, they were benevolent leaders and
carrying healers. But over time, power corrupted the chroniclers, and the schism
between magicians and common folk grew wider. The chroniclers were appropriately named given the
amount of history they described for later generations. Their works were preserved in such
a fashion that many libraries still exist in the Age of Academics, the current
age. While the chroniclers cataloged the world around them, they failed to see
the contempt and resentment that began to grow with the mundane. Soon attacks against
the chroniclers began to take place. The mundane pushed back against their oppressors,
but with little to no avail. The commoners wore no match against the magic
of the chroniclers. That was true until the next break in magic occurred.
When magic broke at the end of the Age of Chroniclers, it did not
shift from one group to another like it shifted from the giants to the people.
Instead, the magic simply disappeared. This gave them Mundane the upper hand
against the chroniclers, and the common folk were able to take control. Within
only a few short decades, every nation had overthrown the chronicler presence and had
instituted their own government. Thus began the Age of Judges. The Age of
Judges thrived in the beginning. The common folk began to rebuild, and people
learned to elect leaders that would care for the people. After many years,
magic began to trickle back into the citizens of Euphray. The magic spread slowly
as technology evolved. The progression continued until three unlikely fools stumbled across the first
of eight magic infinite pages, and well, that story has already been told.
The end of the Age of Judges brought the world into its current age,
the Age of Academics. Magic is separated into eight schools, and Euphray
is separated into the eight nations. Thank you for listening, and I hope
