All I ask is to have some decent food for once. You know,
That's all I wanted. But you had to go, and I don't know
ruin it you? We could have had some great food. You have any
idea? I don't know at this point. I drink the juice in there
because I'm tired of How about we continue saving the daily Then you can have
all the juice and wine and cupcakes that you would like. Oh god,
I could go for a party, and you know I can also go for
all right, Well, what's next? A gender? Are we going up?
I don't know. I don't know where to go. Let's see what
it was that? Wait? Second? Was there sex joke that he's trying
to make. I don't make jobs about sex. I would say trying that
sounded successful? I mean different ways? Can we go here? It wasn't
good. I'm just I'm just gonna be that critique. You know, it
wasn't it? Okay? All right, Well, I'll I guess this is
how we have to go forward. Well, that's just it. I'm looking.
There's a door in the corner over there, Yes, on the I
guess you'd say the right side of the room. There's another one up there,
there's a whole way yeah, to the left there, okay, and
I think maybe there's another one another hallware who up there? It looks like
there's a few doors, a few entryways, I suggest, Well, I
guess we stay together? Yes, yes, absolutely, yeah, you know,
can we do like booger or your eyeball or something like that? One?
If one is done and you've got two more, really correct, what
can we most certainly can I will say, though we didn't deal with such
that creature when we were coming in the one. Oh that's right, the
blue one. Yeah, perhaps we try and find that fellow. Well before
you do that. I I was hoping to leave him up, because what
if someone's behind us, Remember we still have to deal with certain someone.
Maybe they'll get stopped by said god. My only issue is we might raise
some sort of alarm or something that would already been done. If that's the
case, I would think, Yeah, well, we know that we know
from the door here that he was over there right, like there was that
little slit in the window, So the door right across from us on the
far side, I'm assuming that would probably lead to him, right, Okay,
So we know that's potential danger in that door, and that's all the
information we have. So I guess it really doesn't matter where we're going because
we have no idea. Okay, oh, let's go bottom up, left
right? Yeah, okay, so you want to go in the little hallway
here, get take a peek little or they're not these brains. Jibby has
no idea what these brains are? Are these like people who lived here?
I hope not. We haven't really questioned the brains. Are there going to
be more of these things? And does a real know they're here? If
there are more of him? I don't like a Josh broken. Okay,
this is a bit of a bitch for me to keep going ahead and trying
to find all these It gives us a little fun. It's kind of like
a puzzle. Jaws, look at the thing, Yes, look at this?
So sorry, Morts, where have you seen this kind of yard before?
What have we been thinking to destroy? Jaws? When the world is
in periled? I'm I could kid him for bombs and Kunna thinking and maybe
him herbo mechanically, and we could of course all think about and like maybe
relax your bit and you have like a room of therapy because I could like
put a bunch of things in here and just walking around your bit. I
don't really think we have time for real therapy dealing with a god above us,
right, and get stressful, I mean more the great that can mend
anything and put it together. Thank you? Right, if you live up
to that name, I think be Okay, Okay, all right, well,
then calling hippie and I take out some more shards and start to mend
them and as we move, Okay, can I send Quill down the hallway
if you don't mind losing quill? Yeah, I mean go for it.
Sure, Yeah, see what you can see? All right, I'm gonna
go ahead and start sending my awl off towards the left here towards the west.
Okay, I'm not saying much, but I think as an howl,
they're supposed to have like one hundred and twenty start division. Yeah, one
hundred and twenty feet. Boost that up, thank you? Okay, alrighty,
how's that working much better? Okay, we'll send Quill flying down the
hallway. A whoops, uh sorry, let me just for something. I'll
go over. So we send Quill to the western hallway and heading on in
there. You can see a hallway with three doors, uh sort of spread
out across the hallway. Taking a moment to kind of observe these doors,
is there anything that stands out? Mm hmm. The doors look uh,
very like, very ostentatious, very similar to the doors of the front of
this spire that you just walked through to get into this now dilapidated ballroom.
And they all are similar in terms of style. Right, there's nothing that
differentiates the three correct, Okay, I'll go ahead and not snap and I
will call quillback. Well, two are left. Here appears that there is
a hallway with three separate doors. They all look the same. We all
look very similar to this door, very ostentatious. As they say, all
right, nothing that differentiates. Then I'm more of a party. We can
go get your food geway. Maybe Nick, expect to see something up here
towards the stairs. There's a couple more doors and then what kind of looks
like around room. Jippy can't really see it very well from here, and
a little fraid to walk up with you. It's fine, yea, I
will come as well. Yes, he doesn't want to get eaten by brains
when the when the party was in full swing. There were people that were
sort of like up there, I mean you could see it was the party
sort of just continued on up there. And as you make your way up
the stairs, you can see more ruins of this this ballroom that's dilapidated,
covered in ice, furniture jumbled and shattered, and there the the the area
up here looks like it was more of like a like when the when the
party was in full swing, Like this is the spot where stuff was maybe
prepared and kind of brought down to the rest of the party goers. Down
in the lower section of the ballroom. And then off to the side,
you can see that circular room that you were talking about, and you can
see that it is also another abandoned icy ruin. There is a chest and
a table that remain. However, Ohmbrooke, do I have something for you?
And Chpy's just going to point into the room towards the chest. I
get this stingley feeling all over my body every time I see a chest like
that, me too became As you get closer, you can see that this
chest is ornate and it has gemstones studded all along the exterior. It's literally
all I could see is the meme and the meme going that's a trap from
Ma, that's a trap. Okay, are you communicating any of this to
us? Are we guys? Hey, guys, there's a chest over here.
Morty get holding ready? Okay, this thing okay wait wait we walked
into the room. We walked into a room that was an illusion, right,
yes, can we maybe detect magic or something? You can't any trap
or anything? A good time trap it. We've already trapped one here.
You got mom, she's good at finding trips. I'm investigate it. I'm
gonna look at it. Go ahead and give me an investigation check. I
dare you twenty five? Well Moinbrook, are you proficient in investigation as well?
U? Yes, I am. I'm a very good investigator. So
Winbrooke, you've done a glance around this chest. You've looked for any triggers
an he lashes and he switches, anything you know that might be a part
of the room, anything that is connected to the chest, maybe like slightly,
just you know, putting your hand around the bottom of the chest to
feel if there's any trip wires, anything, nothing. You spend a good
ten minutes doing this. This thing jumped out at you as potentially being a
trap, and there is no physical indication that there is a trap here.
During that ten minutes, I was doing the tech magic as a ritual.
Okay, I love it. Okay, therepareech magic doing. Yeah, so
you know, obviously moon Book's doing a thing. And then she just turns
around and like drops her shoulders like it's not a trap. I could probably
open it. All right, Well, let's see if there's anything magical about
it. And I'm holding out my hand and it's acute fire, yeah,
ray burning. As you wave your hand across, you see depicted in flames,
various colors arise. This chest is very magical. It is showing you
indications of conjuration magic. Oh you okay, so this is having me strong
conjuration magic vibes here, guys. So yeah, what could it be?
Yeah? What does that mean? Thinking bad? Not real as well?
Okay, so we know, okay, remember how like the those pillars were
I don't know what they were, but they came to life and then tried
to kill us. Remember that, you think this could be like that,
right, that's a catch, that pillar. Oh so you think it might
be trapped Ray, give me an arcana check. Okay, I usually suck
at these twelve you're not quite sure, Ray, Okay, you can always
throw a rock at it. I mean we could always step out of the
room and use one of our magic hands to open it. At least none
of us are next to it. Okay. How about all right, Moonbrook,
you're gonna try and open this thing, right? Yeah? Okay,
So so come here and then you know, my little guy comes just putts
and over. Okay, sit on the shoulder. If I say jump away,
you pull her away. I think we should step back. Oh,
we don't even have to be that close. We can and moon Brook can
be all the way out here and send our little hands in. Okay,
that's perfect. You have that. That's wonderful. Recommend it. I mean
it's just locked. Are you able to unlock it with your major Well?
I think yeah, moon Brook can actually open it with her maid hand as
well. Are you doubting me right now? Okay? I don't know how
that thing works for the law. I feel it or something like you is
the mainchand can you feel it? She'll like snap and the maid hand comes
out and it's like a you know, specter like it looks like a ghost
like with a little you know, Friel at the end. You've seen these
ghosts look the same when she pulls the ghosts of the air and puts it
in her pocket. Anyways, so you know, she'll like wave her hand,
and as she waves her hand, the hand mimis it. So you
know, as she'll she's like talking with her hand, and as she's doing
that, the hand is doing the same thing. So it's only one hand.
It's called it's called maid hand. Man. I don't know how open
it with one hand. Okay, magic Chippy snaps her fingers and a little
golden mitt forms above where check these stump is and a little hand flies off.
Jeffie can help you. We can both open the chest. So and
that's fine. It's just as someone that may have opened some locks in the
past a few times, you kind of have to you know, you have
to feel it. So I just didn't know if these made hands, if
you can feel through them, that's all. Just she shoots her made hand
forward. Look, I've done this a million times. And as she's doing
this, but you know, so is that a yes, she's filling her
hands and she's you know, she's trying to break the code or anger is
picking the luck. Yeah, that's exact. God. So your made hand
extends outwards, Yeah, and tries to open it, and it's beautiful.
It's like a dance. Sure give me a ummm. Well, actually you
don't even have to make a role here. Remember as you begin to inspect
the lock with the maide hand, you realize it is open. Wait,
so she's gonna she realizes it's open, her hand like flips back, flips
back and forth the kid and then she just you know, pills the little
gutter and pulls it up. I'm oh god, I knew you could do.
Remember, bok, you open up the chest and inside you see some
of the food that was in the party, waking it it it there quickly
she'll shut the the chest with the maid hands. Oh what you did?
What's idiot? There's dead body in there? You don't want to see.
Is there there's a body in the chest, moon Brook? Yeah, it's
a tiny body. So wait, wait, wait a minute, wait a
minute. You said there's a there's a body in there, tiny body made
and you don't want us to look, even though we've killed so many things
and there's brains on the floor over here. I'm just playing over tired rug.
I can handle it. I just don't think it's a good idea for
you to look at them. Matt and I make it a deception check moon
Brook and inside check. Right. I would also like change, so Ray,
you can make it with advantage. So Ray roll again, no matter
what? Whoa so? Yeah, are you proficient in deception? Broke?
That's what I'm looking at on No, not at all, so A ten.
Well, we'll still beat you. Uh yeah, is probably smiling a
little bit. Ray. I think you you're aware that she's lying. Bullshit?
Why are you saying that? Go look, Ray, last time she
said that she had a bunch of stuff and she kept it for herself.
You don't even know what it is? Yeah, yeah, yeah, no
listen except food from the party, all right, goodness, Gracious just runs
his ass up there. He's like, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no. You know we can believe you with food.
Why would food be in in on the ches you have your hand.
I'll do your little weekly thing and yeah, Chappie, open't it. I'm
just gonna move back this one, moving back over here. She's gonna be
against the wall and let y'all do your thing. Chepy's gonna send her golden
hand over to the chest and she's gonna flip it open. She's gonna use
the hand to reach down and grasp something in the air and lift it into
the air. Yeah, you pull out some very nice looking cannapis that you
destroy just a little bit sort of, you know, trying to delicately pick
them up with a magical hand. It's food. It's nice. I mean,
okay, it could be conjured food. I just it's all good.
I can I can test its cold. Let me get it conjured magic,
conjured food. I'm okay with. It's just strange. And she's gonna walk
in the room. Damn. The chest rushes over to the chest, sheppie.
You can smell some delicious food. Are there any sweets? Yes?
What kind? I would imagine probably the equivalent of like a panel chako la.
Oh my god. She is just like it would be like it would
be like sweet pastries, you know, not not like candies or anything.
Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me to protect her as she grabs a
handful of this pastry. And she's gonna look up at carry out and just
stuff the whole thing in her mouth, just like boat like hand and stumped
directly into her mouth as much as she could get in there. Look at
eye contact. Yeah, sheppie. As soon as the food hits your your
tongue, it is incredible. You see Chippy's like pupils dilate a little.
Why are you tearing up? Is it bad? Is this poison? She
grabs another handfuls it into her mouth. Are you okay? You see this
like a cartoon. He's like trying to grab and she's like dodging and stuffing
and dodge and stuff. I'm just gonna make my way over to the I
want something, and uh yeah, Terry's gonna grab whatever he can is.
What else is in here is their meat? There? There is wine,
There is some there's some shellfish. There's some very elegant looking party food in
here. He's gonna grab the wine is a bottle. He's gonna just take
the bottle. He don't care about the glasses or anything. And he's gonna
grab shellfish. He's ripping apart and he's just like definitely bad poison. Yep,
you guys don't want any of this he's just gonna grab and drop wine.
Just to give you an idea. The interior of the chest is about
a foot by like a foot and a half wide, and it's full of
food. On the outside, like a college It is the equivalent of like
a college gift box from your parents. On the outside, what kind of
the dramas or gems are on there? What about I'm sorry, on the
outside. What kind of jewels or gems are on the outside of that?
Various types of gems of various sizes. I'm looking for clear ones. Go
ahead and make an investigation check for me, right, sure, Wait what
you're looking for? I can help you if I'm just one. If there's
any diamonds on here, I'm just trying to you can roll with advantage in
my book is helping you, Thank you very much. And the sixteen there
are diamonds. Oh I got you, buddy, I got you. I'm
so excited. What do we say? Okay? Oh you thirsty? Okay,
Villain, make a narconic check for me, please. Twenty eight villain
watching all of this happen, understanding that Ray said that this is infused with
some kind of conjuration magic. You understand that these gems are part of this
chest, which happens to be a very a very useful magical item. The
chest itself is the magical item. Yes, look everyone, red white,
it's delicious if you get these these diamonds peaches before. Hold on a moment,
Hold on a moment, is moon Brook also eating? Drinking? No
balance? You think you've heard of something like this, maybe someone in your
family has even had one of these chests before. This is known as an
abra cadabrous ship. And I'm going to send you the information for this that
sounds really cool and very fake, very bad. Send it to you.
Just a chest that makes us food. This is amazing, welcome. None
of you are drinking or eating the diamonds? Yeah, which one looking?
Thank you? Didn't you guys feel bad? Are you guys still feeling okay?
No one's film feeling great. It's as delicious, it's the freshest wine.
It feels like it was just aged for you. You understand my concern
right considering the place when yeah, we could probably die tomorrow for we know,
so might as well indulge. I mean, that's exactly bechepies. I
don't want it. I don't want to die tomorrow. Good didn't eat and
drink right right way? Wait wait wait wait wait wait, I'm about to
eat this damn chest. It could pause us to die tomorrow or today.
I know what this chest is? What what ever? It produces cheap items,
and when you do get any gems or metals, they disappear within an
instant. Have to do with food disappear on the outside inside gems created by
it. I'm assuming that would include the ones that are on it as well.
Okay, it is a magical item within itself. Yet wait a minute,
So this thing creates stuff, yes, and it has a limited amount
of uses as well. So if you continue to just pull from it,
okay, So can we stop just in case? Yes, stop, okay,
don't put it back it does it go back in there? You can
eat it. You've already touched it, man, Okay, no double dipping,
morty. Do you know how it works? Exactly? Like? So,
it's similar to a wand for example, every dawn, let's say,
it will get a little bit of its juice back depends they were fine,
But like a wand if you use it when it has when you use it
till its last charge, and it does not have any more charges, so
to speak, it will lose it's magic. So how do we know that.
How do we know when we lost this charges? Well, I don't
know. You I'll just put like nine million things out of it. So
I would recommend possibly not doing that anymore for now. Maybe it's about like
asking a certain amount of items, like hey, we want breakfast now,
but later we want supper items, so it's like closing it opening it.
It's like getting different items each time, if that makes sense. So one
charge is a group of things. Yeah, like maybe we could eat to
the bottom of this and it'll be fine, and then next time we ask
for more things and maybe the way, well, I know exactly what it
is. It's I've seen one in my family. Before you close the lid,
you think of what you want, it is what it does, you
want, you name it, you open the lid, and that should be
the the charge, so to speak. However, we don't know how many
times this thing was opened and closed. Anything here right now, materials like
I can't get like diamonds out of this right that not anything worth I can't
get wi, I mean foods good, that's a good choice. It's still
about the gold list. Okay, okay, okay, what do you Everyone
gets your fills, so we can move on one of the size matters in
this case. Wait, so the check is really I mean I can have
a little bit because I didn't eat anything. I mean you said you didn't
want anything. Yes, we can. We can do from it. The
food shouldn't the food should not spoil within a day, I would say,
and then it will coil if we eat it. Well, no, no,
no, it's process absolutely. I don't worry all were all going to
eat some This is not off of you. You stop that, You stop
that. Everybody starts eating. I get well, will start eating. There's
like a lobster tail hanging out of Terio's mouth. You've never seen him like
eat like this since you've known him. Now, like but you all have
been like eating berries and like rations and like this is like a proper harsh
meal whatever past whatever you're eating. I don't even know what you're eating.
She'll get sick. Needs I remind you all where the hell we are at
a banquet. You can aspire still in a dangerous place. You know what,
Bellain, I know what you've been needing this whole time. You know,
I'm so selfish and I didn't look at it. You looked like a
red type. Yeah, come on, she takes it and she down is
it in one big gulp. It's a bottle, a bottle of red wine.
For she goes for it. All right, then it's gone. She's
just drinking. I have white. I take the white with you said balance,
please make a constitution saving No, that was going to come. Yes,
this is what you people drive me too many. I'm near you,
so that's good at least. Yeah. Plus, this is not the first
time you've downed a whole bottle. Like a half bottle. Oh my goodness,
you give Chappy one for her money. Oh, darling, I could
run around that little darling. Oh well, all right, you haven't seen
chap labs yet. You haven't seen me do labs that wine? Enjoy.
Let's we've done this. So we have our wine. We've we've consumed some
food. Grab some rations if you'd like, but let's continue show them.
All right, you guys go ahead, I'll close the lip, are we
No? No, no, no, I'm gonna take this. How big
is this thing? It's pretty big? Yeah, it's pretty big. I
mean, it's the size of it. It's the size of a chest.
So it's oh, I thought you said like one foot like this. The
interior is about one foot by one and one and a half feet. I'd
say probably about say the outside, you know, the full size is probably
about two feet by like one and a half feet, so it probably weighs
it's probably weighs about twenty five pounds. Here, help me put it in
my bag. And then they don't get it. It needs to fit in
the bag. I don't think it will fit. It won't fit in your
back. It will it won't, so it will absolutely and the bag of
fit fit in my back is you know. Okay, but can we lets
that we're not just going to squander this thing in case we do need stuff
later on. You can trust me. Listen, you're so happy right now.
I'm a little concerned. You're drunk on it. Okay, all right,
no, no, no, And I appreciate that. We'll put it
in your bag. Wait what, that's fine, there's nothing in mind.
Okay, you're like oath, but you're breaker and you're just going to be
Look, that was a long there's another lifetime. Now listen here that was
one time. It was for reasons. I would like to remind you that
you have stuff that you never shared with the group. Remember remember Zonaro's place.
Not give me, I'm putting it in here. We'll keep going.
Buriels shoves the Abercadaborus chest into his bag of holding. I promise, if
you are you going to struggle to grab it, I promise. I gave
my I give my word. I can't lie. Okay, whatever, go
ahead. I hope that the Morning Lord strikes you down. If you die.
What the hell? The Morning Lord has helped us all way more means
than that. I'm not gonna get back in it. I'm not gonna waste
it. It's in there. I don't even like take things. The Lord
is to your homie now, and he will listen to me because I might
be a follower now. I don't know whatever. The Morning Law has been
watching very carefully and stuff that you're doing. You don't think, I know.
They just squabble the rest of the time. As everybody starts walking.
Worry. So I always going down to that little hallway where the bird went
in. Right, you said, like the bottom door down the bottom left,
Well, there's a door right behind us as well, and Chippy kind
of turns around and points towards this door. I'm I'm just figuring it.
If we just go in like a circle, you know, to describe as
well what the room looks like. Here, there is the door that is
opposite the room that you're in right now. There is a window that's sort
of on the northern on the northern wall down the stairs. There was another
door that you saw off to the northeast of the ballroom. There was another
door on the southeast of the ballroom as well as the hallway that was open.
With the three doors to the southwest. I can go for now.
We have a burden some of those calories. Now, Jeppie just hats so
many. It's energy from foods, spells, the detect magics. Then yes,
yep, how about I don't know, right you're in the party,
Well, we're going to go farward. We're arguing over that chest for a
good ten minutes alone. Wouldn't be us if it was, Yeah, what
was on your mind? Well, we have all of these rooms here with
doors directly in front of us. We could just check them out in case
there's anything neat that we might be able to use, such as your chest
that you just acquired. I agree, I agree, that's a lovely ideas
chess to the northeast. Here the door to the northeast, and this door
right directly to Yeah, Chap, are you going to offer that one because
we can get around here before you do that. Oh yeah, Chipping is
just going to wait here until everyone was ready. Okay, I'm going to
get nearby, all right, So we're ignoring all of these doors here.
No, I guess we'll just go back to there. Wait, there's doors
in there, but we were everywhere. There's three doors down there bottom left,
and then there's two over here, and then there's this one was like
three and three. Let's do it. Well, I think we did agree
to bottom up, left and right. So let's uh just kind of distracted
us. So let's go down there. I guess there's two doors. Oh,
there are two doors here. Yes, there's two here. And then
so there's also the hallway that I send quill down. It has three doors,
all looks the same. I'm a little worried about that side, I
will admit, because you are looking because there's my hallway. So that's a
problem. I think did you see any slits in the wall or anything of
that nature. No, I did, and I could go over and have
a little look see if you'd like I could. I could go with my
susso over there, open the door, and if something comes at me,
I can have it. Paul me backwards as I'm yelling, oh ship,
here comes something. Let's stay together. It's like no, but it's like
five ft to the door. You sound like me. Okay, over here,
we can't all get in there and open that door. Someone saiting for
yourself that thick speak for yourself. I'm not that tall. Win. I
love your plan. Do it? Thank you? Are we arguing about if
I should open the door? I'm just giving you a taste of how it
means if you be like me for once. But why I don't I never
do that to you. Yeah, I don't want anything to happen to you.
You approached the door, right? Does the door look like it was
ornate? Right? Yes? Okay? So I tell I tell the susue
that if I say jump, jump, and I go to open the door,
however it opens inward or outward? Yes, it does open inward.
Okay, do you open up the door okay, and inside you can see
what you would assume to be something like an office. There is a single
table and a cabinet filled with ruined parchment scrolls, and a dresser. Everything
is in disarray and covered in ice fella in. Yes, this looks like
an office. And considering that these Plea people are like wizards, I kind
of feel like this is up your alley. I'm on my way and I
start to hobble over there. Mm hmm, okay, and I'm going to
walk in and just sort of be nearby for so there's a desk and some
patchments, but they don't look great on the cabinet, and I'll start looking
around, kind of opening any drawing. Yes, I'll be helping her out
to just paying attention. Go ahead and make that with advantage on the twenty
twenty vellain. You find that all of the parchments and things are ruined,
and you get the impression that this was This would have been incredibly useful and
valuable. These were most likely notes and workings on spells and such. If
this is the central spire of the city, this very well may have been
some of the upper echelon of the wizards that lived here and their offices.
Imagining the lost secrets that you could find is terrible. However, you do
find several spell components. There are gems that are located in the cabinet,
just kind of stored, probably in some kind of little chest that you find.
You can see like little little bits of spell components. And I think
you know instinctually that this this is probably like a little gem box that you
find. Well, you want gyms. Let's have a look, shall we
what? And I'm gonna take a look and see if it appears that there
might be like any special things to the box, maybe like any mechanisms that
might trigger a little trap or anything like that. Sure, with a twenty
you get the impression that it is not trapped, all right, will I'm
gonna try and open it up. It's not that large, you know,
it's maybe like six inches are so wide. It's like a little jewelry box
like it's sort of like that. But when you open it, fell in
it is. The whole bottom of this box is filled with various spell components.
And amongst those spell components you see several gems. Do any of them
look to be what I would interpret as a as diamonds. Yes, how
big are they? Vary in size from the size of your hanky nail to
your thumbnail. Well, well, motives, are you going to just acitating
the value of things like gems? Yeah? Come here, we've got a
lot of pretty little times from I can see me, villain, I would
like you to make five D six rolls, So just roll a five D
six for me please. Sixes are good. Oh jeez, I love it.
Wow, the twenties in there. Okay, two episodes worth gonna be
like five. Do a little check here because those two sixes are the diamonds
y diamond gaming. Mhmm. God. So there is a ruby about the
size of an index fingernail, Mortis, that would run about two hundred and
fifty gold pieces, not just two hundred and fifty old piece of twenty five
platinum if you broke the three would be an emerald that is worth about one
hundred gold pieces, about one hundred bcame. The one is a small diamond
that you imagine would be worth about fifty gold pieces. Mortis is he only
worries about fifty years. No ant dim and the two sixes are larger diamonds
that are worth five hundred gold pieces each. Yes, yes, okay,
I mean these are fairly large. How does it look big? I'm like,
I'm looking more motives. How big is really big? I mean that
is one of the largest little things I've ever seen before. Hearing components,
but they talk about him like that, but I'm very interested. There are
also other components in here too, smaller things, but there is some incense
as well. Spoke up, which villain you know that you need for something?
I will scoop that shup, thank you, darling Gret. Some of
the other components that are there, I mean the incense should have crumbled by
now, Valain, but it is intact. And there are some other little
bits of components, some what you would think is gold dust Mortise, Oh
yes, and like a little bag. Probably it would be smaller than a
dice bag, so a pretty small bag. It looks like it could probably
hold like a D twenty or something. And there's something loose in there as
well. Let's have nook you open it up. Yes, I do.
There is gem dust in there, Mortoise. You estimate about one hundred gold
worth of gem dust in there. Wow, that's about one hundred gold.
We're a gem gush. How much was this giant ash piece of diamond?
Each of the large diamonds are worth about five hundred gold piece each. Talk
you about five your god, that one and give that to rye to it
now each each? How many are there? Can I have the other?
Can I have one? Please? No? No, no, no,
no, I need both. You need to. He's been looking for diamonds
the entire time I have met him. One of you fucking die. I
can bring you back. Give me the diamonds. Fig same. I can
do the same. So what if you die? What you can do it
too? Yes? Yeah, give one, give one, give one.
That's a great idea. I also can do one. All right, I'm
going to that. What do I roll against that? The morning Lord is
great? So an insight check ray? Actually no, oh ship sorry,
well yeah it would be because you're you're trying to tell if Mortis is lying,
and yeah he's he's uh yeah, he's a right, Yeah he's hiding
it a little bit. But maybe you see him like he giggle just a
little bit. Yeah, I believe him. How many? Wait? What
is he lying about them? He's not lying about it. You can bring
people back from a diamond you'll get the other diamonds here. Take this,
take it, Take it before we all slit each other's throats in the night.
For no, I'm just trying to well, if we usually each other
shows, we could bring them back. So what are the constraints of your
spells of reverse? So to speak? Well, so it's within. So
what happens if if one of you dies a minute or so to keep your
spirit from going over? A minute or so before the spirit? What do
you said? Exactly? Actually what you said? I just speak to morning
Lord, and I also can do that. It's a little bit of a
show. What gave you? Hi? There's not any There's not any like
oilser I'm gwince in there right, the little little vials with like a greasy
substance or anything like that in the in the box? No fuck? All
right? Other than nothing you wearing? What are you looking for? So?
Should we check the other oils? Absolutely? This has been this has
been a little too good to be true. To be honest, you know,
I'm all for the little too good to be true? At the Is
there anything else in here we want to check out? Or should we just
go to the next room. I think we've viped this room clean. But
I do want to take this little box here, since it's carrying all this
good stuff in it. Yeah, definitely you need me the sword with the
other box. Yeah, talent making the comic check for me please? Oh
that was with the vanished by accident but nineteen okay, this the the fact
that the incense did not crumble, crumble and just sort of disintegrate over what
is most likely close to you know, Millennia is telling that this box most
likely preserves spell compubeents. So you say it's like a jewelry box, right?
Are there like any latches or anything on it that I might be able
to kind of finagle like a little a little rope or something through in order
to carry it on my person rather than have to stuff it into a bag.
I don't think so. That might be something that Mortis can help you
with though. Put it in the burn wait hoo, yeah, well you
know what, we will put it in the bag for now. I don't
care for I'll give it back to you. Yes, this will be my
little present. Sure you don't have your initials on it here? Stumping in
there easy, it'sn't called very gentle. I don't just force things into your
bag, Terry, what kind of woman do you take? Before I saw
you down that wine bottle? I don't want to bag all right, it's
safe, don't worry about it. Since there's nothing in this room. Do
you only do the same thing with the next door. Let's go yes,
okay, together, I step out of the way, let's wade through and
get to business. As they say, thanks to too, same thing.
And I go down and open the door. You open the next door,
array you see much the same thing ahead of you. Well that is mo
move your butt right, it doesn't go inside. And I have a little
look around and I search with my grubby little searchy hands, and I healthy.
Yeah, corporate caskers, give me another investigation check with advantage Villa sixteen.
Unfortunately you do not have the same luck in this office. Anything that
was here is basically ruined. All of this hockey knowledge thrown away to the
sense of time. Don't be too afraid. It's looks like there's another one.
Yes, yeah, there's an Yeah, we're going to find something in
another realm. This hallway doesn't Yeah, yeah, I can still pull I
can all right. Well, we're getting a little stuffy in here. Yeah,
I'm going. I'm just making sure nothing comes out and blasts you all.
I appreciate that it is all right. Here we go, okay,
and I'm your here because I'm curious. You open the door and another office
sits there, well, another similar room. All right? Can I finagle
my way in? And I repeat the process of using my grubby investigative hands
like grubby? Is it still is it still advantage? With Ray, I'm
helping twenty valain. You discover what you would believe to be an unfinished letter
that is there, and it is in a language that you have seen before
throughout this city. You believe it to be Laurs, which Professor Scant speaks.
Oh Scant, darling, I believe I have an little mission for you.
And I open up my furs and I kind of slide them out a
little bit. Oh yeah, I would you like to read a little bit
of law rows for us? Oh very much. I wouldn't enjoy this.
Here you go. Let me just hold this up in front of you.
Perfect ah, intriguing. This is detailing the acquisition of an artifact dating back
to the Empire of a Storia. It speaks of a run carved stone spindle
having an unknown purpose. The writer notes that it has been moved to the
Citadel's Stacis Chamber for further study. What well they did say it It does
appear to be an unfinished letter as well, so saying that the essentially there
was an art fact acquired rinkarved stone spindle. They didn't figure out why Stacey's
chamber. It doesn't give any other details. Yes, scan correct, But
the way that they speak of it in this letter is it is something of
great interest to the wizards that aren't here. At the bottom it is signed
and Professor Scant sounds like he's trying to sound something out at the while he's
trying to make out whatever this person's name might be that's signed for this.
And it is signed gravity gravity high transmute uh matultra transmuted with toulture right,
mm hmm. Transmutation manipulation of physical properties. So good chance that's what it
does. So they did that was taking care of it. I didn't know
exactly what it was, yeah, but I'm wondering if they saw it react
a certain way. I'm sorry retcon that this would have been I apologize this
would have been hi abjura tauth abjuration abjuration. Okay, and that was truth,
yes, hm hmm, all right, And I'm assuming there's nothing else
within the office that I might indicate who was working in here or anything like
that. I mean the letter obviously, but any remnants, Yeah, nothing
else that is intact? All right. I wonder if I wonder if that
could have been some sort of like use for protection magic. I'm just guessing,
I don't know, it's a state subject. It moved it to the
statis chamber in order to probably protect it. Oh where that is? Because
we'll find out eventually it. So what's going on in everything? Okay?
Yeah, we found a letter, there's apparently an interesting artifact here and not
boring significant artifact. You have no idea We're going to have to find out,
no something about a status chamber, no idea where that is? Is
it anything like what that little creature was looking for? Which which creature?
I don't know. Scrimmage for a book using for a book keeper. You
probably keep an eye out for that book here. Yeah, it seems like
it would be here in places we found so much. At the very least,
it would give us a way to bargain with him further. Actually,
that is not about searching these areas. What's a great idea? Well,
that's my sales on the back. Do you want to move across? Move
across to the other side. Where do you start? And will clear the
areas and then we shall girls inside that wine bottle this way. Well,
listen, you compliment yourself all the time. I'm gonna you're right, you're
right. Okay, I'm going to get to this door. I'll wait until
everybody's ready. All right, I move, be careful, don't move so
fast, all right, all right, sall right, let's calm down.
Okay, something happens. I don't think all of us can fit and do
it once. So I'm gonna stand back, stand back. I'm doing the
same thing that I was doing over there. Make sure you all are okay,
at least tim for them. Okay, here we go, and I
open the door. You open up this door array, and you see some
intersecting hallways and door ahead of you. Oh so, looking at the hallways,
I think I'm turned around going okay, so I think I can see
a hallway that sort of goes a little bit forward from us, and then
there's another one that sort of goes to the right. That's got to go
to that that guy, right, That be impossible if we can go somewhere
else. We haven't none. Yeah, I'm just looking at the size of
this tower. I don't know how else we could get unless he's just trapped
in there forever, which is kind of sad. But I can peek my
head around slowly if you'd like, that might buys sure, all right,
And I will send Quill, looking through Quill's eyes, into the hallway itself.
Flapping ahead, Quill, your owl finds these intersecting hallways a t junction
at the end of one of the tea junctions is a door to the east.
Down to the south, there is another passage and a little area that
is just off of that passage. Okay, so judging by like the area
at which that fellow was, he's probably down there. So I'm gonna do
is I'm gonna take Quill, and I'm gonna send Quill into the hallway where
there's like the little junction and kind of just take a look quickly at the
two doors that we know see because I see another one up here. Yes,
there is a door on the east and another small passage door to the
north of Quill's location. Do these doors have anything unique about them or they
just they do not? I don't Okay, all right, mm hmmm,
I don't want to send Quill directly into that guy. I'm gonna I'm gonna
send Quill south and we'll see what we see. Okay. At the end
of the hall there, Quill sees a blue humanoid looking figure. The humanoid
figure turns and looks, okay, you snap, go ahead and make a
slighter hand check for me, Valain, make sure that's normal. Seven.
What all did you see? Did you? Is? Quill back on my
shoulder? Okay, so I didn't want to go ahead and lose all that
scouts, but I do believe our blue friend the south is indeed aware of
our presence. Still, he turned around and that is all I saw.
But I also explored to the other area. There are two doors, one
to the north, one to the east. There is nothing that separates them,
but like the other doors. Okay, okay, okay, Well,
so we might want to be prepared for our blue friends close the door.
Oh yeah, wait here, getting your banum. What if we just tried
to find a way up, I could word of trying to fight him.
Right, well, there are the other two doors, and there's the door
to the north here as well, that we're all trying to explore because there
are things that we could possibly get. What if we go north first,
then that way we can time to see if he goes through the door,
and then we can have the jump on right so he can come to us
essentially. Right, yeah, okay, you mean north as in this door
above us over here, any points like right here? Cool? Excellent,
Okay, I'll but if we carry our back on him and we don't know
if you jump at him, well one of you turn around and keep looking.
I'll get ready, stay here too, and I look good at hiding
waters, it would be perfect. Yeah, it's a jump on them easily.
Yeah, just let us know. Okay, opening up this door,
I am the wall as well. Right here, you're a good wall.
Okay. You open up the door to the northeast of the ballroom and it
opens, and ahead of you you see two rooms, one w a hallway
that leads to a northern room. But inside this area you see a frozen
ruin of what you would imagine to be a bar. Oh oh, are
you okay? There is a rectangular counter and wine wracks. I'm relaying this
to everybody. Excuse me. I'm probably the professional here, and that's fine.
But let's so what I'm assuming right now, right, just from everything
we've seen offices over there, right, so they probably had someone over here
making food for him. That's sound about right. I don't know. I
have to see no, no, I mean I don't see yeah, yeah,
yeah, go ahead. Then I'm I'm just gonna look at here.
Oh gosh, there are about a dozen bottles of wine in wine racks here,
terial, nothing to be seen in here. They're classified stuff. All
right, all right, while you do that, how about we still have
a look around in case there is anything useful. Sure me search the wolves
and is it lockdown or anything or is it just in the racks just on
the racks? Oh great, I'm taking inputting them in the batter terr they're
like perfect temperature. Yeah, they're they're like sealed and everything. Oh,
I don't even know where the hell that is. That looks delicious? What
well you're looking at me like that, villain. I'm just I'm going to
get to looking around and seeing if there's anything that celebratory marriage around here other
than just prodcastes, you know, stuff for when we do win the day.
Of course, you always need something to celebrate, like clean, I'm
only taking a few, don't worry. I just there's a dozen bottles.
There's a dozen bottles here, Terry. Okay, I take a look at
Terry l and Chappie and I just they're kind of perfect together, aren't they?
Here together? One over? I gated. Oh okay, don't forget
this one. Okay, okay, take this one here. Just see Cherry
is Chappy's fuzzy butt like across the counter of the bar, like little tail
wiggling. We're just going to die. We're going to die. Odness,
what a profitable I think I would have to say? This is this is
the best time I've ever had in this. I'm leaning into our jokingly,
like I can get us out of here instant. Don't worry. Perhaps we
might have better chances of survival. Who's just you and me at this point?
What is that supposed to mean? You would never have fun? I
was leaning in and whispering, ear you forgot a bottle? Oh, just
a bottle over here? You know, what that's fine. No, no,
there were alcohol. Gosh, you gotta be careful what you say around
here. The bottles are fine, not even cracked. Let's carry on,
right, It's okay. So, yeah, fella and I are scouring again.
Yeah, go ahead and make an investigation check with advantage twelve. Nothing
beyond these bottles the terariol found. It just seems like it was some kind
of bar. All right, nothing unassuming here. Did you see anything over
there? I'm looking in this tiny little room. Well yeah, Ray,
you get the impression that this is like where some of the food stuffs might
have been kept. So it's kind of like a pantry. But everything's kind
of ruined here. Yeah. Yeah, there's there's nothing really in here.
Speak for yourself. This place was amazing. Run Oh all right, well
let me step out. I don't think there's any I think we cleaned it
out. And Ray, you saw what you imagined to be the other door
that was in that other area. Yeah, okay, I guess we'll head
back out. Uh anything, Yeah, mortis anything? Nothing yet? You
know, I'm blowing my cover. I was speaking to the walls. I
talked to walls all day with this group. Sometimes you don't. Oh,
I know that feeling, Terio. I see she got the joke, and
any of you don't get so I was saying it about you, Morris,
give me a perception check. I'd love you. You heard nothing change,
mortis nothing. I think they're coming. Maybe the thing's function was to tell
people to leave. Remember, yeah, okay, I'll go forward. And
when you said there was a door that was further in, and then another
one, there's one to the north, send one to the east. Okay,
I'll I'll go in. So I'm yeah, okay, I'm opening the
other one, and then I go to open it. You open up this
door, Ray, move bogoger to hear. Ray, you see something truly
intriguing ahead of you. There are m hmm. There is an ir regularly
shaped room that contains six staffs stored in racks along its walls, with room
for more. I'm immediately excited. Each different and each one is truly interesting
looking. The first one, and since you are a druid, Ray,
I'm not going to make you do any sort of check here, okay.
The first one is a straight stick of pale ash with the stern looking owl's
head carved into its top. The second staff is a smooth, hollished length
of blue tinted wood with black veins running through it in an octopus carved into
its top. Oh. The third staff is made of translucent purple glass,
which splits into three branches at the top that circle around one another to form
a hollow spiral with an orb of lighter purple glass tucked inside it. The
fourth staff is carved from golden last bar wood, with carvings of fish swimming
up river along its length. The fifth staff is made of weird wood,
hardy substance similar to oak. Its shaft is gnarled and twisted, its top
carved to resemble a human hand grasping a snake. And the sixth staff you
also recognize because this staff is made of a greenish material that you have seen
before. It is made of chardo line. Okay, no, I'm really
not okay, what's wrong? He rushes forward and stands between everyone. Do
you need anything? Do you need the back of what was? Somebody?
I pointed? All the stands the Holy Mother even is that Charlene is exquisite
in its own way. Let us take a moment. We will, I
will start a ritual and we will figure out what scores of magic, in
particular these are. Unless you are able to identify if that one is Charlene,
which it looks like it is, we should be very careful. We're
gonna work through it. It's important we figure out what we do, all
right, So here's the deal. And how about you go in front of
me. He standings to pray. I'll stand behind both of you. You
do your ritual to make sure nothing happened, and the rest of you watch
our backs are it. Definitely can do that. But Richmond, can you
see can you see inside the room? Is there anything in there? Yeah?
I walk in so I just see the wreck right with the Yeah,
you see each of the staves on the racks. Yeah, go ahead and
start the ritual. I'm not going to touch anything, but I'm just gonna
in front and so I will move into the room with him, and you
will keep God of that. Yes, because there's nothing in here. Is
a susu floating or yeah, I can sit on my shoulder. It's a
tiny little Okay, I'm just going to stand here. Just yeah, I
can move them out of the way. Just can see yourself there. I
think while she's doing the ritual. I'm I'm just I'm looking at each one
of them. I think I'm trying to connect as much as I can,
and fish and water, the the octopus, probably similar owl. Maybe because
I'm assuming these are all magical, just by how wonderful they are considering where
we were at. There's something about each one of these. And I know
that, I know I'm looking at my own staff and not looking at it
poorly or anything, but definitely looking at all of these. And how heavy
do each one of them look? Well, each of them, I mean
probably weighs a few pounds. I mean they're the equivalent of like, say,
a quarter staff. You said there were more slots for stops about how
many more? Would you say? Few? More? So? Eight?
Yes? Or the eight schools of magic? Oh that's smart, Nollen.
So do you think the other two are? Well, we're gonna go ahead
and see. Oh boy, I got an easy feeling about this, so
Vellan. You are doing a ritual for the second magic. Okay, So
I would like to do something impossible. What would you like to do?
I'd like to class divine sense. Sure you cast divine sense ontario, which
creatures? Is that? Okay? Celestial fine or undead? Alrighty, you
gotta check on something, Harry. Oh m hm. How do you perceive
it? When you detect something, it's like an uneasy feeling in a certain
direction. It's almost like an internal compass. So it's like a slight feel
of like you know how you have a slight feel of nausea. You kind
of have like this little slight sickness and then kind of get like a cold
sweat. He just kind of gets it in that direction, and I don't
know, he just kind of snaps to that that direction and looks and I
think he can see. So, Yes, the presence of undeath is upon
you, Tariel, and it is coming from the room up to the north.
Cool. I don't don't nothing from the stats. Spit it out,
man, Yeah, what's going on? I well, I don't. I
feel very uneasy, and it's coming from the room from the Norse po in
what way? It's almost like an you know what, a feeling when we
saw that Lich's it's kind of like on it's mean, like a little sickness
feeling. I can't explain it, but it seems undead. Boy, you
get the impression that it is a similar of a similar nature to those brains
in a jar. You thought, maybe not as dangerous, but that room
is definitely something we need to be prepared for. So can you think that
we're going to have to fight something in there possibly or we're walking into a
trap in there. It's been a little too easy getting in these rooms and
not have any things. He set off for a banquet to be held by
those things. Well, maybe this is all an illusion for the people who
used to live here, Like maybe they use the food and the holograms to
make this place more interesting for them. So that's why I know thing's been
trapped. Chevy doesn't really know, but it's kind of what it seems like.
Maybe the brains were working for them, but they did attack us like
god dogs. Well they only attacked us once we dispelled the magic. Maybe
that was, you know, a treadmer for them exactly. We'll just be
prephead if we go in that room, Oh definitely, but maybe we could
see what happens. Yeah, I think Terrio is going to kind of like
get a little bit closer to Ray and Velen, especially on Vellin's side,
and uh, it's kind of her hand on her shoulder, skip concentrating.
There's more of a sense of protection, I kind of mother. So you
simply sit and guard villain. Yeah, okay, villain, as they guard
you, you finish up your ritual and your detect magic. However you view
it is active. Looking at the room around you and the stabs. I
don't know how you would perceive this. I will leave this up to you.
But the same way that your arcane focus is viewed is the way that
you perceive each of these staffs. Except for the Chardolne staff, which is
suffused with magic. You can see what would this be enchanting, enchantment,
magic and leave evocation. So that staff itself is giving me the vibe of
enchantment and evocation. Yes, and the others don't have like a particular school
associated It's more just like an overall kind to know that they are folk?
Right, very interesting? What's that? Are they all magical? So the
staffs themselves, they're simply folci oh like mine? Okay, okay, yes,
I mean very very beautiful looking folcive for sure. But that's chartling one
that has magic on it. Of course it does in chance mention evocation,
to be precise. But we know it gets Ray. Ray probably looks a
little greedy, right now, we know from what if it's a scant said
that the chardling can be processed to be used, right, so can you
ask him if it looks like it's been processed? I will all scant out
scan. Did you hear that, darling? Yes? I did. Let
me have a look and I'll hold him up. I'm can move him a
little closer. Ah, yes, you see the room work here. Yes,
yes, it is that this chardlin has in fact been processed properly.
Wow. Oh, wraps it immediately? What okay? Immediately explode what's going
on in there? I trust you all, and I grab it right.
You pick up the Charlene staff and as you do, oh boy, oh
no, nothing happens. Okay, but I would like I would. And
when Terry goes down to a whisper, listen to me, Missa will probably
react a lot different. Yeah, how won't you see something? Ray puts
the staff down. Look, you're not experiencing anything. Well, I iron
I think I understand that I was sent to you know what, I between
us. That's great, that's wonderful. We've been looking for this for a
long time. But yeah, yes, fun. Okay, you guys have
gotten off e Laity in there it's fine okay, No, no, it's
fine. No, No, let me talk to it, Nissa, don't
bring listen. We need to be honest with each other right out there,
yes, but not in here with all these other on We're coming out soon,
I promise. Yeah. Look, how about you you can go out
there me I'll stay with Vellain and she can do this unless you want to
stay here for this as well. No, I want to. I want
the staff. Which one the shottle in one? You have it? No?
No, I put it down. I just want to make sure she's
okay with it. Okay, then go talk to her. We'll be yes,
since we'll be here. No, I'm taking it with me. Oh
okay, they're in there comparing. K So what I do is I get
a cloth out of my bag. I've got some bandages and stuff, and
I wrap it around it gingerly, so I'm holding it where I'm not holding
the chardle in and I walk out and as I do, I'm like this,
this is a Shordland staff. Okay, I know, we know what
we know what Professa Scant said about it being processed right, and all the
stuff that we touched, and likely what you touch was raw and dangerous.
Not to say this isn't, but I had touched it, and I and
I show her. I put my hand on it, and then I let
go and put it down. You know what it was like. You know
what it's like. Just I trust you, Ray, but keep it away
from me, please, Absolutely, I do not trust myself. I understand.
I picked the staff up, I take the wrappings off, and I
just sort of start to inspect it and look at it. Beautiful work,
lots of room work and things carved into the staff. Give me an arcana.
Check right? Sure fifteen? You don't know what any of these mean?
Oh hey, gay, looks pretty sweet. Okay, wait what any
of the rooms mean? That whole thing? What is that caling? Yeah?
Do I get any sort of feeling from this staff at all as I'm
holding it inside? Check? Ten? No, it's a staff, but
it's still a folky yes. Okay, all right, man, that's end
up more well better than I expect to a right? Allan, what we
have? Well, we have a bunch of folk, hi him scanned right?
M hmm. Were you scared of what Terry Hall said before about there
being none dead in that room up above. Was I scared of it?
No? Okay, not at this point. I think we've run into so
many things, and I trust everybody here. So as soon as he said
that, I think I think I would have thought, all right, we're
gonna have to deal with that next so very colony. Yeah, but I
trust all you guys awesome, trust you too. We're all badasses. So
that one looks evil, that one looks even more evil that one looks okay,
So I guess you're gonna go with the evil or one old on moment,
scout, Yes, these are starves, they're all folk high. Do
you think they'd be any stronger than the current one that I'm using was that
any of us are using. I would not be able to tell specifically.
However, I will suggest that if they do belong to some of the high
magi that we're using them, they would probably function rather well. Oh,
the evil looking one is very much so my ally, But what would it
be like to beat that bitch or real with him? How can we starved
look evil? Twisted? It was his verbiage. I think it's actually quite
nice. I mean it's not glowing wholly al. I've never really understood what
any of you mortals understand is good or evil regardless, so I am intrigued
by your perceptions. Well, it's all twisted and odd. One with tenta
girls in such makes me think of there are many trees that are twisted and
old. From what I understand, you seem to be a paladin who is
focused on well nature of sorts. And do you treat those trees as if
they are even? I mean, a feeling that you give from something is
different of it actually being one. Yes, so the staff may not be
actually evil, but the looks of it is it gives off of a certain
feeling of it's uncomfortable looking, so to speak. You know, I mean,
I guess if you look at a vibrant tree and firm is glistening,
glowing with life, and the twisted gnarl trees, look, that is enough
boy description. I do not think I will ever be able to understand your
feelings like me. Right, you all were like, oh this guy should
make you Goblin came out of a dead cat, so it was you know,
I always loved you, it was different. But the feeling that I'm
getting in that other room. That's evil, ugly, nasty, feeling concern
so felling going without the shopping for Stuft's let's let's talk about this is also
the one with the owl on it. Whack or real over the head with
that one, I'll be comedic, wouldn't it. I'd be hilarious, and
then she'd take it and give ultimate. I know, kid, I don't
know. That's probably someone that maybe, Wow, has she been around for
that long? I wondered if that was made in the eyes of her.
Are there horns on the owl or is it just straight down? There are
not horns, just looks like an owl. You also seemed to like owls.
Of course it was a sweetheart. What do you think, Terry Old?
Why not both do wield them? Yes? Very smart. I mean
you can always test one out and see how you like it, and if
it doesn't work, a fancy switch the other one. Wherever it is,
all of them should come with us. I'm gonna be able to shove these
in the bag. Yeah, there's always room. Fifty pounds of iron was
in this thing. I'm pretty sure you can do. Eric. Can you
put mine in there? Please? I thought you wanted to carry it.
No, not the shirtle in my normal steps that want to throw that once
you put that in the place of the other. No, no, I
carve this myself. No oh, I know you just screamed, she lately
with it. Okay, I mean that's true, and I put it in.
I call that myself. All right, so we're taking hold of him.
We'll put his golden one. And that one was beautiful. It is
beautiful to identifying. Yeah, we should definitely put all these away. And
then now here's the blue one. Tell us he's very pretty. We've got
sad one, the one the octoros, the blue one with your okay,
the user wand all right, all right, I'll let you pick the the
snaky thing. You know, I would say the owl because I feel more
comfortable around you. Perfect, I'll go with the snaky thing. That's right.
Figure fella, do you know what this means? On the staff,
he's lins have the idea. Let me just put let's scant here. Let's
have a look here. You put our little brains together, the deal.
Do you recognize these rooms at all? Hmmm, yes, but we would
have to converse some of these are there. They use strange configurations rooms.
We may converse for some time, and I believe we might be able to
discern their purpose. So another time. Very well, Okay, I don't
understand how these work. Do you have to tune to any of these?
I actually I don't know how all that stuff works. Anyway, I'll let
you all know tomorrow morning. I never really attuned anything. You'll take a
look at them all. She did, You are tuned to the thing out
there. Oh, that's true. I just learned that. Oh do I
get a feeling from the staff that that's the thing I can do? Right
now? You would have to study it for an hour. Well, we're
gonna have to wait on that. Into the bag, she goes. So
do you want your wooden? No? No, no, I can still
use it as a folk I can you still use it for magic? And
it's badass? No, I'm keeping it all right. Okay, So northern
room is bad, but something made that may be something guarding something important.
I already know that enemy or bad acting like a bad as something not good.
Chamber probably could something of worse. Almost all. I'm just telling you
I have a really bad feeling about this room. But we have already been
through enough stuff, so what is another? All right? Till it drains
is of all of us. As long as we do it together, that's
all that bad. If if you know, opening this door is a very
small hallway. We have to go in one by one. How it suggests
if you do it to be sure about it? Well I can if everybody
wants to get into the main room, I can pull us away. If
you want to stick with me. Yeah, I don't want to we get
We have a give a bad feeling about do you know any I can feel
like since something very not so good in there? Well, let's be big.
Would my detect magic still be up? Yes? Walking by that door,
that Ray is standing out? Do I notice anything magical about the door?
Perfect? Okay, all right, you should be clear. I don't
think there's any magical traps or what have you. Okay, thank you,
Okay, here we go. I want to watch talk back please all right?
Eh? Okay, thank you. Ray. You open the door ahead
of you, and inside, Oh dear God, you see shifting green,
purple, and blue light spilling into this room through a single window. Bolted
down tables hold an array of equipment, beakers of alchemical fluid, alembics,
cut crystal needles, surgical tools, coiled leather tubes, and more. Behind
the tables stands an ornate suit of armor. Where the head should be is
a swollen human brain floating inside a canister of translucent fluid. And that is
where we That is the worst BDSM. Yeah, so it's fun when we're
back. Yes, you thought this was a science a torture fair. This
is like the room for mortis. By the sound of that's upgrade from crying
from minta turtles. I love it. We are going to take a little
bit of a break here, folks. If you have not done so,
please make sure you are following all of these wonderful people heading on over to

we'll be back in just a few minutes with more rhyme of the frostmaanen back
in just a little bit. Hang tight. You stand this suit of armor
with the brain in the jar on top of it, and as you enter
the room, Ray, you hear in your head, ah, who are
you? Mm hmm right, Hi, my name is strange enough Ray is
that this comes through clearly for you, but for some reason you believe these
are not words in your head, but you understand what is happening. Okay,
I think I so if they don't come through in words, but I
do recognize this person's or this thing is asking me who I am? And
I guess I'll try to respond in kind and say, essentially I'm not a
threat. Un determined as they got here. Oh that's a long, long
answer. I think. I turned back over to Terry Ol. I'm like,
listen, there's a thing in there here, and it's sort of talking
to my mind sort of. I don't even know how to explain it.
Shit, wait me, you're just talking like, wa, what are you
doing? Are you having a conversation anything? Yeah, sort of sort of
bad feeling, bad feeling, Okay, I don't Yeah, No, I
agree. We knew, we knew doing this. Okay, we're here because
there was a spell put over the dale and when we were trying to break
it. Interesting, and why are you here in the tower, in the
tower, in this room here, Well, we were looking for someone that
is a god and we don't know where we're going because we've never been here
before. I am no god. No. And if I've intruded, happy
to leave. You have intruded. However, I would like to make a
proposition. Hm hmm. Okay, is Ray talking out louder in his mind?
In his mind m hm. So yeah, so Terry is like m
kind of getting Nancy just because he can't. He doesn't know what the hell's
going on. You're just standing there staring. We need to leave. He's
he's he wants to ask me, maybe to do something. I'm not sure
yet. Oh god, he's not attacking. So let's just I think Terry's
gonna lean over the uh villain and it's like he's gonna like, are you
there's some yes, something I'm good in her. It's talking to his mind.
So I want to relate a message back. I am seeking something that
I believe you may be able to assist me with. In exchange, I
will offer some insight into this place. Okay, I suppose I should ask
what you are looking for? Yeah. The creature stands up and begins to
move around the desk, past the chemistry and whatnot, and says, I
am looking for a particular staff, one that belongs to Eriolarthus. Okay,
do you know what this staff looks like? Yes? Yes I do.
It is a very powerful quarter staff. You see, this staff is kept
in Aerothus's study, But I am I have been unable to rich it for
various reasons. Okay, where is this Heli Arthurs's office? That is a
piece of information that I am I'm not quite ready to devil. We would
have to form some sort of agreement first. Well, what is going on?
You're just standing there. I'm just about to tell you. I'm just
about to tell you before you make any mistakes. Okay, all right,
what are you? What is happening? I need to answer this person,
and then I will tell you sort of, And then in my head,
I'm like, okay, hey, well, I have a group of my
compatriots here, but I'm sure I can talk to and if we all agree,
they would help for us to get this thing. I'm sure. But
the sort of information that you're offering is information about this tower specifically. That
is correct. Okay, okay, thank you one moment please, And I
turned back around, probably to everybody as much as I can group everybody up
in this hallway. I'm like, okay, okay, this guy wants us
to find a staff in what was the name again, Ilia Arthus, the
Ariel Larthus, Thank you, Erie Arthus. They've got a an office and
I guess the staf's in there. He said he's been unable to obtain it.
That sounds like there's something dangerous, but he says, if we get
it for him, he'll give us information about this tower. I don't even
know what he looks like. That's great, that's probably for the best.
Let me take a peek. You can probably see this creature beyond ray because
they are sort of standing near the center of the room at this point.
Oh, absolutely fucking we find a really, he means o judging, aren't
you, Drewidick? If you know what that thing is, it might be
friendly if we help, and he's a superpower tower is named after. Before
we decide anything, let's just hear rey turn out, thank you, thank
you. Come on, if you stop me midway when I'm trying to explain
everything, we're not going to get all the information. I understand. It's
dangerous. I saw him first. I get it. Okay, I felt
it great. He looks dangerous as fuck. Line, if he don't know
anything about this tower, and if he could give us information, i'd be
great. And this this most powerful staff. Just let him speak there,
you'll know stout that sorry undead, Yes, undead, I know. I
know it's unnatural too, I feel it too, But we have a bigger
thing we're worrying about here. We're worrying about the dale. Okay, this
staff is in this office, sounds like it's probably difficult to get to and
I have no idea how. I could probably ask him. Maybe he can
give me some information. But if we do get it, we can get
some information from him. I imagine we can at least make this accord to
some degree and at least attempt it or or not. If if no one
agrees, that's fine, we'll say no. He said staff belonged to Aero,
Lartha and Della. And you said that's who owns this tower. It's
the spy of a real Arsis. Yes, m hmm that's right as well.
Right, So maybe these little brain guys are his doing. Maybe they're
just trying to get the staff back to at least fix this place, or
I don't know, fix the shield. Maybe it just wants power. I
am stand you, Yeah, I have a I don't know. Am I
allowed to ask questions? Now? Oh? Come on now, Terry,
Oh come on. I was just making sure I didn't want to interrupting to
your idea. No, I'm not trying to be sarcastic. I'm being honest.
Okay, yeah, yeah, please do because I don't know what to
do just by the size of that thing and what it is wearing that large
device that is hooting either fuck couldn't get it itself. Don't know. I
mean, it's a brains. Maybe there's something that can affect it because it's
a brain in a job. I don't know. We could guess all day
and we don't have to do this. I just you know, this is
an option that he didn't hit me, so I figured i'd tell you all
is the benefit to us? Just information? Yeah, she's thinking exactly.
Come on, Information's power? So is that staff that's hell of power?
What if we had it, well, we would have it, wouldn't wait
before we give it to him? Sure? Yeah, but if we even
asked him what he wants it for, like a mutual trust thing you know,
will help you. Did you tell him what we're here to do?
Yeah? I did, Holy moly. Okay, right, well you could
also tell him we're not here to hurt anything. We we don't want anything
to do with this place except to make sure that you know she can't use
it. I mean, essentially, I told him that you were trying to
break a big spell that was over the dale. He didn't give a ship.
Ask him if he knows who Oreo is number one, but two,
I'll tell you what hold on, Terry get up here, and then I
know Terry on front. Think to him before you go. I have an
idea. Okay, I'm just reallying information. I'm not fighting anybody, and
I like to step back. Do you want me to talk to it?
Yes? Please somebody else. Hey, let's hear more his idea and then
I will go talk to it. Yes. Are you thinking, why don't
do you know anything about Aero? Should we talk? Can't? Because maybe
you can't. Give you a little bit more background about a and then about
how much powerful tower is and show and get me. I'll show this person.
Are you defeated. There's like a lot of quackings they feel like that
can't That's a lot that's gonna take some time while this guy's waiting. Yes,
a little longer. I say, we finished this conversation and then we
have another conversation. Whoever this person is was able to contain down there.
So if we're going to make a we're not contains information. Contain what person.
I said, if this hour is made to contain that power down there,
this person obviously is extremely powerful. If this is the tower they were
protecting, that maybe there's magical stuff that I have to get rid of because
I know how to do that. And maybe he has no idea, you
know, like this is an entire magical tower. It's possible he can't even
get into this room to get this. No, no, I was saying,
we just ask him yes, which is why I wanted to have the
conversation, so we don't stand there waiting and then eventually get him pale by
that gigantic saudious withholding and I'm backing up. I'm thinking, you get in
there. I'm not doing it, thinking that we as can't a little bit
more information about Aero Largest before we even have a cut finishes, get finishes
and decides whether or not this is a powerful bad idea, because if it's
a really powerful scaff and this person the thing brain the jar is gonna take
that cheff and do something really bad because Ario Large is a bad person and
we should be careful not to help it. But if Aero Large is a
wonderful, awesome folk hero, blah, blah blah blah, then yes,
we should do it. We don't know. Have you heard of the art
of deception? And not promise? That kept bringing a yard. I think
you're doing an inside check on Mortis, who is altruistic all of a sudden,
which is oh yeah, sure, thirteen, I'll I'll let you answer
that. How you want to answer that, Mortis? What do you what
are you trying to find out? I'm trying to figure out if you want
the staff because it's valuable and powerful, or you're actually worried about the dangers
that this guy could use with it because only are thirteen. That's you?
Ye? Interesting? What a great question. Mm hmm, I think we're
thirteen. There is definitely a smoking of no. I think I think you.
I think you can read that curious. Oh wow, ex Mortis doesn't
want to die like he's made that very clear. So how about this?
Okay? Ray, you continue to have a conversation because you've already started to
run and villain you speak, just can't the same time. That way,
we're not wasting time with questions, yes, yes, asking what he wants
things like that motives all right, you think you can't struct you can't wait
longer. Sight, but we don't know whether tient. Before we get into
this, let me ask you, is it all right? Sat? Give
your voice low? That thing can't hear you very well. I'd more to
shoot. What do you want to know? Oh? Ye here, lady,
did you know who Eddy? It is most likely the demi lich that
you slayed? Cracky? Okay, what do you know anything else about a
lich? Gemmi lich? What's different between a gemmy lick and a licht?
Trees is far more powerful, but it requires various constant well consumption of magics
and living creatures to retain its power. Okay, and the demi lich has
not been fair for a very long time. Ah, okay, keep things
simple enough for you. Excuse me, I am a mind goblin. No
I think if I don't think it was necessarily an insult, it was.
What do you mean, help you? You're gonna getshed? Why don't you
show him that thing? Okay? All right? So scanned, do you
know anything about particular staff and your loss is had? In his position?
No, I would not know of any such possessions. But I could make
a consumption that any staff that is wielded by the administrator of such a grand
magical city would be vastly powerful powerful. Yeah, I means me to keep
it and okay, and a Yemmy lich is a choice. Is a choice?
Can become a Jemmie choice to become a leech, not a Dambi leitch
would be a very strange choice. Not m must show literally consume power,
and Amich has been starved, said power. Care guy, it show you
become a lick and then fall into Yemmy Lichtum most likely yes, Okay,
okayrazy m. That's what he was doing here with being surrounded by all these
weird holograms and lightly, very lightly, I just don't know if the great
idea can make any curt of fringe with whatever that is. I agree,
I'm sure, especially for the information of what we could just pretend you're doing
it. That's exactly what I was saying, Yes, shouldn't. Yeah,
just say we're gonna do it and help him out. We'll look around the
tower, get some information and then just never come back here or fucking kill
it. We could just kill it, because if it's speaking to his mind,
wone else is gonna do your thoughts and be like you're trying to believe,
and we can get the stuff for ourselves or not. We can just
leave it here. If it comes after us for not bringing back the stuff,
then we'll deal with it. Then there's also got to be a region
like it can't do it, chelf, which means probably can't go anywhere from
somewhere, which means restricted somewhere, And we could probably go there. So
yeah, it's a fucking run it, just like you can do a whole
way ray Ray what what the way? Bottle? Ray? Oh? You
have been speaking now with this creature. I needed to hear that conversation.
Did I hear that? Was I listening to them talk behind me? Give
me a perception check. It's going to be hard because you were having another
conversation at the same time. All right, twenty four not enough? Damn
fair enough? Okay, So I to some sort of understanding. I mean,
I understand what you're asking for, and I guess I try and look
back at everybody else and I do this, and I'm like this or this,
I'm like you know yes, no, yes, no, I know
your bottles in there, look at that, Oh my god? Yes?
And no? But what no, Morris, there is a cornucopia of an
alchemy lab. Find out why it won't say it? Okay, okay,
with distracted, I gotta go get somebody's all right, all right, right,
I'm gonna think by it. So there's nowhere to sneak here, Mortis
this thing is standing directly opposite Ray Damn and looking into the hallway. Morris,
what are you doing, Simon? Distract? Now? What anyway talking?
They want to know why you want this staff and why you can't get
it. Can you give me that information? But of course I seek this
staff to repair this place, repair the damage. There is a broken lisk
that can repair this place, but it requires the staff to activate this magic.
I see and this, and the reason you haven't been able to get
it yourself is you look capable. To be honest, there are many impediments
to retrieving the staff, many dangers. Heialosis has protections in place. Okay,
Okay, can tell you more if you were Okay, I'll just relay
this real fast. I turn around and tell that to everyone. I'm essentially
going it can fix the obelisk, and apparently that would fix this whole place.
That's what the staff does, and that's what he wants to do.
He wants to fix this place. I guess, okay, And I mean,
that's not terrible. How about we fix it after we get rid of
the problem. Well, sure, like he's not lying, Yeah, we're
lying. I'm talking through him in my brain. I'm he's not really given
much away. Other there's being straight up just so you know, like what
you would see. Correct, it's not moving at all, not breathing.
There's like a few bubbles here and there. Yeah, okay, So he
said that he wants to to fix that, and then he said there was
a lot of impediments to getting it. So I imagine there's probably some magical
wards or something like that. Maybe there's something, maybe there's traps, maybe
there's creatures in the way. I don't know. I mean, this is
a wizard's place, right, would you like to go more in depth as
to what those impediments are? Perhaps? So what are those impediments? And
Ray immediately goes silent and turns towards the guy, like as he's talking,
Just as I said, I would be willing to describe such things only if
there is an agreem made. We have to agree first before he tell us
what the issues are sure, it sounds like a wonderful contract. I feel
like I've signed a couple of those of my time. Just remember the early
deception, So I will give only certain pieces information. Information is power,
after all. Literally told him that if he wants in my head, I'm
saying this to him. You guys still see me with you, right right?
Yeah? Okay, here's the thing. If he's only telling you,
for example, that you know there are impediments, but he won't tell you
what that limits the success of the mission. If he doesn't give us the
information, we could die. And then he will he will not get the
staff, but he said he would if we agree, so we would know
before we get in there. Did you not tell you that you're relaying everything?
Right? Yeah, I've been relaying everything yet that he would only that
he would leave things out. Basically, he said he can only give me
so much information because okay, so and then I'm looking at bellin, I'm
saying, and I can ask him, but I'm assuming that if this is
an office or a building or something, and he can't get so far in,
then he can only tell us what he's seen. He can't see what's
as that point, because he's not gotten past that point. What if we
agree to get the stuff, Oh, but not the whole thing. What
do you like the part we leave that part out? That is not exactly
a lie? Yeah, Jesse will get the staff. Did you did you
tell us and relate the information that he cad that? Did you? Did
you relate the information that he said? Information is power? Uh? No,
I didn't say that. In my brain I said it him. I
was like, I just told them that, Okay. But I imagine after
I did that, I probably would have said, see, he agrees with
me, and you would have been like, what it's like? Oh,
he said information is power? He knows great kill, he can read our
mind. This is a thing. Well, why would he say it?
If you just hit it? Okay, listen, think of the disgusting thing
you can think of? Eh? Him? Him? And in what wage
like? Anyway? I don't think I think he can talk to me,
and I'm talking to him. I don't think he's reading my mind. I
just responding to him. Can you hear me mango thing over there? I'm
thinking at it? Yes, yes I can, And I make that audible
noise. I can you can hear it? He can hear. He just
he just to me. Sorry, guys, you're so can you hear us
the whole time? Can you hear all our brains all the time? Yes,
Yes, perfect, great, everything we said. Terry just kind of
laughs and turns around and walks out the hallway. Okay, so as they're
doing this, I'm going to turn back towards them and go, Okay,
so if we go and get this thing, you'll give us information about this
tower, which I'm going to assume that you think is equal value to what
this staff is. The information you've given me is equal value. You have
your goals and I have mine. I believe that your goals, given what
you have told me, you are related towards saving what did you call it?
The dell? Yes, and mine not to pair this place. Both
of our goals can be accomplished if we help each other. All right,
Okay, Well, since we have all that information, I'll ask everybody and
then i'll i'll let you know what everybody says. Just say, please stop
calling me. Oh sorry and Miranda, oh you know, I apologize.
I said you shouldn't have assumed. I'm sorry. Who made who made?
Who made? Who made you? As I think of him, I made
myself. If you are referring to my current situation. Oh cool, is
it all your stuff? Yes? You still need it? You pers okay,
okay, all of us, yes, okay, yes, thank you?
Okay everyone so, yes and no, that's really what it comes down
to. Yes, sure, yeah if you think so, right? I
mean all of us, yer real, every one of us? What?
Yes? And no? I don't make deals with evil? Are you in
the box again? Get out of the box? Man? Now did you
not? Did you not even give me a pastry? Let us just say
yes, come okay, I turned towards him. So we get the staff,
we bring it back, and you'll give us information that will help us
in this tower dangers things that we can use, information that will help you
understand this place and retrieve the staff, and information that may very well help
you save the day, as you call it. Okay, right when you
think you think that she's telling the truth about the motive, I don't see
why they wouldn't. This thing doesn't seem to care. I mean, I
can I can insight check. I don't know. Maybe, I mean,
I thing you can read our minds? Just show everyone to just it's nice.
Got somewhere else, but not in hollow. I think a little bit
about whether I'm not intererding the truth. She's not gonna matter anymore. We
can either just geta and talk about it later. So inside checked, I
guess to see if I could sure go for it. Yeah, I know,
right, it's gonna be like a ninety required Yeah, this person is
or this there's no body language at all. No, you have no fucking
clue. Yeah, but trying to keep they're lying to the shop man villain.
They're not giving a lot away here. Maybe the twitching of its robotic
fingers or something. No, it's not moving, so let's get the fuck
out of you. Yeah, okay, we'll do it. We'll do it,
so gladly do it. Where is it and what are we looking out
for? It's dangerous, I guess. Ah. Yeah. So this spire
was the home of many of Ythrin's most powerful magi. They had many grand
plans, many that came crashing down, both figuratively and literally. I am
not sure why the city crashed, but as I mentioned, the broken obelisk
can in fact repairs damage with riol Arthus's staff, which he kept in his
study. I would tell you that this would be dangerous, but I'm sure
you are aware of this given nature of such a place. Yeah, the
rest of the spire is difficult to get to. I'm sure you may have
noticed that there were no other places here on this location, any sort of
indication for further travel. I mean that is because there is a hidden passage
the window located north of board room. There is an invisible half that connects
the window to a magical means of transport a room further beyond. I am
unable to fit through that window in my current state. I I suppose each
view might be able to fit, though your large friend may have a bit
of a difficult time. Once you make your way across the invisible path,
there are more dangers. This force bridge brings you to Littleber of Sorcery,
and there is an entity there. It is a living spell bound to the
spire. Okay, This present is known as ever Last, and Everlast has
standing orders given by Eriel Latus to assist in the city's restoration and do not
reveal the city's secrets to outsiders. Everlass can manifest itself anywhere inside the spire
and can move instantaneously between locations. Within. Okay, I've been relaying this,
probably almost verbatim as he's been telling me out loud, which has probably
been kind of hard to do. But I'm trying to get all the key
points out as he's been saying. Okay, so, and the study is
in that direction. That is, but the first step, the klinding study.
I am merely warning you of those situations that I am aware of.
I must warn you. I am sure I do not know them all.
Okay, but there is a secret door mounted in this ceiling thirty feet above
the floor. You would almost assuredly miss it unless you knew about it.
If you knock on the hatch, it will swing open, revealing a vertical
shaft that ascends very far. I'm not sure how long, but it is
a bit of a climb, So prepare yourselves accordingly, definitely can. Once
you emerge, you will enter an oval hall. There is a wall of
force that will surround you. Upon entering. This wall of force is a
barrier and a spell. I am not sure what is keeping this spell active.
I only know of its existence, but something is maintaining it. That
is the difficult part that comes next, you see, because wah movel blades
have disaster? What the devil do? What blacks the wrong? Okay?
The blades attack any intruder that moves within range, and they may move through
the wall. The spell does not affect them. Now, if you manage
to pass, there is the testing chamber beyond, and it's eight doors,
each marked with a different arcane symbol. Beyond that, I know only whispers.
But from what I have heard, there is something called the Chamber of
the Ebbans Star, and from what I know, this chamber is the path
to get to the study, but I do not know the exact details of
how to arrive there. Okay, if you bring me the staff, then
I promise you there are hidden cassions of knowledge in this city, places that
I know I can make you and your friends very powerful. Indeed, whatever
you may come across, I am sure you would be able to deal with
it. Okay, Okay, Ray, what are they? Kay? Oh?
No, I was relaying it the whole time, don't even Okay,
So what he said was the window there's this magical perfect Okay, Okay.
I think at that last bit I probably looked at everybody and went strong enough
to do with anything. I don't know the blades to go through walls.
Though, that's what I was thinking. I was about to say the same
damn thing. That's a lot of it from what you From what you understood,
there is something a wall of force, like a spell, and these
blades are able to ignore it. Oh okay, I thought you were saying
they went through walls like they do. Go through this wall. For all
intents and purposes. For what you have been told, it is effectively a
wall. I think Ray actually might know this magic. Anyway, I'll okay,
so I'm I'm relaying everything to everybody, and then I'll say, okay,
well we said we're going to do that, so mm hmm I guess
that's what we're going to do. Hm m hmmm. So all right,
are we are? We all ready everybody to go through the window. I
need to hear you all say it, say what window? No, that
we're going to bring the staff back, that you will bring me the staff
the staff. I'll bring it back, all right, I will as well,
Yes, sleep we shall bring us back in this moment, can bring
you to the staff. That's a good That was a good one. Your
other friend one that ran away down the hall. Yeah, he's a little
uh preoccupied. I can bring him back, okay, Ariel, Ye,
yes, you're gonna break that box. What I'm eating out of that thing?
I'm just drinking wine, the one There was plenty of this, okay,
but if you would have had to conjure more wine, Nissa drank some,
and bell and drank some. It just got Oh the wine bottle from
you drank that oh so arriol. When you open that bottle, mm hmm,
it was incredible. It was better than the wine that was in that
chest. It was the best wine you have ever had in your life.
Yep. What we all have to agree now, this is the best wine
of have a taste in my own entiret existence. It's absolutely Is he drunk?
Please make a constitution saving Yeah, you've drank a lot like a bottle
his breath a bottle plus four. Yeah, Terry, you're keeping it together.
This is uh, I mean, it's you know, you've you've had
a good chunk though. You got to keep an eye out soon. That's
really stove and made man. That's a strong stuff. Wherever it is is
great. Now bad news is he going to tell me? He we all
have to agree to go with the staff. He gave us a lot of
information on how to move forward, which is the direction we're going to have
to go anyway, And he gave us, or she gave us a lot
she what? Okay? To agree? It goes against the whole hellan thing.
Well, to get a staff for a brain and a jar? I
mean, can you deal with an undead creature? Yeah, but it's not
like it's getting a staff. I mean, I'm not like giving my soul
over. Let me ask you a question. Sure, Why does it have
to have all of us agree? I don't know together. I mean,
I'll follow you. I'm not making a deal. I have to. I
can easy to make a deal without. You are literally in a party with
a necroman. Sir, let's do this. Well, you have special I
am aware reasons. But the morning Lord will shun upon me. Probably he's
already. I mean, he's champion. Now you know what I'm saying.
M h, I don't have to eat it. And that's lying. Yes,
Harry, where are you half far away from you? Okay? I
want you to tell him that I agree and I just don't. You will
see it from your mouth? Carry way over here? Yeah? Where we
are, Yeah, I'm moving, I'm back outside. Yeah, carry.
We either have to agree or we go in and destroy them, because it
can read our mind. If we try to lie, it will know.
Okay, either we have to do it or we don't do it and we
have to destroy it. That's short of what's happening. All right, all
right, let me think it's at this point that this suit of armor and
brain and a jar known as then oranda size in your head unfortunate and it
rushes forward towards you, and that is where we are going to end today's
episode. God, aren't it. That's great? You got the information on
this half and now we kill you and we're good treasure darling, whatever way
we do. I mean, Terry old can't he just sucking old one.
So Ray was about to say it happens, about to say, pray on
it like literally, you know, I know, but what was gonna happen
with Harroah's gonna be okay, let me road my pros and cons, and
he's gonna be like, will let's help us fix the dale? You know
magically? Yeah? Really, yeah, he was already, but it's too
late. They sided so opposed to But we don't know exactly, like because
we don't know if it kim m hm. So just so I'm aware or
just so I'm gonna make sure because I'm almost one hundred percent positive I had
the SUSU on me to move me all the way. But it's We've been
here for a while, haven't we. And I've been talking to this Ye,
you've been You've been here for an hour or so. So I'm assuming
that the SUSU probably isn't a is ready to move me away. There will
be in in there. We'll see yeah, yeah, totally cool, totally
cool. Yeah, we'll see what happens. I wanted to fight this thing
too, which is great. Yeah, but he just can't. He just
he just can't. It's great, this thing I don't That's what character,
right, He divined sense and his feeling was like absolutely this is not yeah,
yeah, well that is yeah, and to him that's absolutely no.
Nope. Know. I'm fucking excited for next time. Man, I'm gonna
die. It's gonna crystal theory. So I hope you enjoyed the session today.
There's lots of lore and ship drop. We got a lot of loop.
Yes, that sounds good. I love that chest that you guys got
as well. Yeah. So that thing, the abercadaboris it can create basically
anything that is worth less than one gold piece, So one gold piece or
less, so various magical components that you might need and such that's underneath a
gold piece, you can you can create with this thing. It does have
it does have charges, but they are regained. You basically roll a D
twenty at dawn and you regain that amount of charges back. I just realized
something. Yeah, this thing can produce good mead from good mead that no
longer exists, right, I mean hypothetically. Yeah, tear, Oh my
god, tear rolling down you can bring it back, dude, that's bring
money right there. That's huge money. Yeah. Anyway, nice yea,
so good job. Facts. I cannot believe you transcribed that whole thing,
by the way, you fa thank you so much, thank you so much.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah what happened she transcribed everything that Yeah,
vigorously. I was like trying to take it notes and then that's all like
the wow here it is yeah a wall. Yeah, thank you so much.
Yeah about that, so, thank you, good job everybody. Yeah
you got some good loot. Today, and you finally found some gems.
Just so, just a tiny, a tiny bit of meta knowledge there in
that U It was an actual loot that was located in those rooms, but
I it just made sense to me that it would be there. Yeah,
so I thank you. I figured if you guys roll really well, you're
going to find that stuff. So very nice. Finally, it only took
how many episodes? Is this un Look we got diamonds. I've been getting
louted. Don't know what you're talking about. We finally got the habits you
have. You have missed so many that's true along the way. I can
imagine wait wait wait wait wait wait wait. So if I'm here for the
plot, not the loot, I got to look at my okay, so
entire campaign two pieces of lute is the only The only loute I've ever gotten
was today It's to day, which was the staff in the in a diamond
classic crew it class is that metal? Can use it? Don't want it?
Thank you? Use it? Don't want? Is that a metal suit
of armor? I'm going to talk to it. Yeah, let it have
all kinds of fun. In my mind, I did not believe it reads
it. Yes, it's not the only loot you got the you got the
beans. Oh you're right, and the beans pairs are freaking awesome. You're
absolutely right, that's true. I need to I need to grow some more
beans. We should have asked for scenes for those pear trees instead of making
out. Well, you also like there is there is a value to things
as well, you know, like that you can sum it up in this
uh, in this chest, So just be aware of that. Yeah,
sometimes you might try to make stuff but it might have an intrinsic value that
you're unaware of. Is it under a gold or is gold included one gold
and less? What if you just have it contra a bunch of one gold
pieces, so you gems and precious metals can be created, but they disappear
after one minute. Yeah, oh you could. You could get away with
some ship with that, right, you just scary a big ass thing up.
They were like, excuse me, how much does this cost? God?
I don't want to show you the diamond until I'm completely ready purchase.
Yeah, here you go, exactly. Yeah, so great job, everybody.
