We have things to discuss, things to discuss, we do. I have
prisoners for you. Prisoners. Indeed, how did you come by them?
Through pure skill and chance? I did? She caught us whilst we were
sleeping. Silence you. I'll spit at the ground. Just before we continue
here, saku Wanhi came with you? Is she with Malvic or is she
with your group? I think we said she was going to stay on the
outside, Frank, do you want to correct me if I'm wrong? I
believe she's supposed to be with you guys. Oh, well no, she
was only supposed to be with you up until we got close to show you
the way. Yeah, so she would be with you. She really needs
to be in there. To be honest to you, she can figure out
who is. Yeah, so logistically we would have worked that out and she'd
be with us. Actually, yes, very well, Malvic. Please make
a stealth check. You're right? Yah, sorry man, first, allow
the show, darling. All right, here we go, yeh steal check.
Uh lord, I'm going to roll that exactly. There's their points,
all right, seventeen, there we go seventeen. Okay, So to describe
this guard post, it's essentially building maybe about forty feet or so wide.
There is there are no windows that you can see like on this ground floor.
There's kind of like one thing that could be a window that's all like
boarded up and is very hard to see through. But if they've entered through
the front door, it doesn't appear that there's like an easy way to see
you here, Malavik. So you creep up on the east side of the
building is where you you're coming from. The rest of the group heads in
through the south door, following Godrak and north KESA. Yes, yes,
you're putting up some kind of fight. Okay, as you are. Let
inside, this building is fairly dilapidated. There's a lot of debris and stuff
around. It's not very clean in here. The goblins, the Hobgoblins have
not treated this place very well thus far. It stinks and there is a,
i think a general sense that this place is meant to be discarded.
As you are let inside this room, it's about twenty feet by twenty five
feet or so. Upon entry, you can see that they're there is a
Hobgoblins soldier as well as this person named that has identified as go Drac the
Quick. They are Hobgoblins. They are varying sizes, about the same size
as most of you. The one known as go Drac the Quick watches you
all with a very discerning eye. You can see the soldier sort of standing
to the side as Godrac says, first you go, Arqueza down the stairs
to the cells. She looks around towards Godrak and the soldier and says,
of course, go Drac. Arqueza trusts you it will be honorable, And
she watches Godrac out of the corner of her eye as she begins to head
towards the stairs, and she says, come, prisoners, could we do
some insight checks here? Trying to get the general vibe of godrac and the
dynamic between the two of these. Yes, please make an insight check someone
perhaps perception since we do nineteen nineteen. Yeah, there is clearly mistrust here
and our Celia. You know that the Hobgoblin dynamic is competent, clever and
strong leaders will be the ones that are taking charge, and they are well
respected until they're not. All right, I don't sense anything unusual, so
I just comply. North Kesa leads the way down the stairs. Malvic,
what are you work to outside as you hear them entering. I'm scouting the
area, seeing what their forces are like on the outside, if they are
ready for battle or if they're lounging around. Okay, also keeping an air
out to make sure if I hear anything step perception. In this case,
you already made a stealth show. Well, I didn't know if I was
making an as steale not since we had that out, all right? Uh
do it? Well? Okay? Uh, there's like nothing out here,
Malvic. This is a pathetically guarded post. Whoever is setting up their strategy
is an idiot. Yeah, trivial, primitive. They have been laxed.
In my mind, I am thinking more than likely that they don't really have
any real competition in these parts, and that's why they're very relaxed with their
security. But I'm I'm going to make a double check just to make sure
I haven't heard any loud noises as yet. So I'm going to move around
and see if I can see an area where they would keep their rations.
Sure there's nothing, Malvick, there's uh, yeah, there's uh. It's
this place is sparse. If they left anything outside, I think maybe you
get the impression that like they might be worried about someone taking it, which
give me a I'll take a different check, you know. Let's see here
I will take I will take a I would say you can so you can
roll two different things here, and I'll give you different answers depending on this.
I will say you can do a survival, which I know is a
lot better for you, or an intelligence check. Oh yeah, go on
survival. Okay. Fourteen Okay, everything strikes you as really strange that's going
on here, and you can't really wrap your head around why they would do
things this way. Something is really weird. Okay, I'm going to be
more cautious. At first, I was thinking how that this attempt at effort
is But then I think to myself that these are non common goblins. I've
been gone far too long from Galaianto. This is what my thoughts. So
I take a little bit longer, scouting the area and trying to be extra
cautious, knowing that these creatures have some kind of intelligence very well. As
you are walk down the stairs, you can see through the railings as you
make your way down into this like basement room, the stairs are, you
know, very creaky and sort of worn down the there are signs. As
you make your way down these stairs, you can see over the railing you
can see the bars of what appears to be like a small dungeon. There
is somebody moving around behind the bars, and as you begin to descend,
there is a small gasp from Sakawachie, who's first in the group here walking
down the stairs. Just out of curiosity, I think I would be last.
I can go first, and I will have soccer watching very close to
me as well. Okay, so a rasch Tak and Karoon are probably in
the middle as the the hobgoblin soldier is following behind our Celia and go drack.
The quick is in the very rear leading down the stairs. Go Draq,
says, roll prisoners in the cells. You will, yes, go
Drack. The Hobgoblin walks over to one of the other cells and opens the
door. You can see that each cell is maybe five feet by ten feet
and there are four cells. As you approach Chiara, you can see another
person wearing furs and leathers, much like sakawachi, with these kind of glasses
over their eyes, which I think if you are familiar with some of the
things that can occur in like extremely snowy sort of environments, they can limit
your vision. They just sort of have like one narrow slit across so that
you do not get blinded by like snow blindness from all the light reflecting off
of snow and heavily snowy areas. You can see this person's glasses covering their
face. They're covered in bruises, crumpled into a corner of one of the
cells. The Hoblo Goblin leads you over Yara to the first cell and sort
of roughly pushes you inside. I will look around at the bars. I'm
hesitating for a moment. The last time we were in a cell, I
lost, very very dear companion, I will swallow hard and I will walk
in. And now you said that this prisoner is in another cellar or are
they in this cell opposite? All right, I will move closely inward and
just wait and watch everyone else. Okay, so you go. You get
sort of pushed inside. North Kesa is outside watching this happen. Socca WATCHI
follows you inside. The first cell bars are closed as the cell is secured.
I would like to pay special attention to how it is secured. Yep,
what mechanisms? Yeah, Uh, it does, in fact look like
there is a key that the that the hobgoblin will use. I feel like
a kind of like a uh an iron looking key that's just thrown in there.
I'll make a note in mind of which hobgoblin is caring. Okay,
uh. North Keza sort of watches as a rash talk and Karun are pushed
into the next cell area. Uh and go Drag says as sort of following
you behind you are Celia. Go Drag says, you will put the large
orc woman in the other cell yours go drug rash talk. You are sort
of being shoved into the next cell. Yes, run Prune says, do
we have to do this? Like, you know, I don't need to
be in a cell or whatever? Do you guys? Like drugs gets roughly
shoved into the cell and then Ursilia you are moved to the last cell.
You would be in the cell next to this other person that's been sort of
beaten up in the in the next cell over. Basically, so I am
not in the cell with Yara. Correct Yara and Soakawachi, you are in
a cell. A Rashsaka and Karun are in a cell, and you are
in a cell by yourself and very good. The cell with with this person
that's injured. Is it adjacent to because when I walked in I saw them.
Is it adjacent to the one that I'm in or is it further down
Cilia? Not cha right, Yeah, there's two on either side and you
okay, Soakawachi, Karun and a Rashchak are on one side, are Celia
and this other person or on the other side, North Kesa is outside with
go drink the quick in this other hobgoblin soldier. You have done well on
North Kesa. Yes, North Geza has done well. Go drack. I
am very powerful as you can see. Oh, Drac looks narth Keza over.
Mmm, you have many bruises. They put up a difficult fight.
That one said that they were sleeping. They woke up once I started to
attack. It is true York there gave him an gave gave her a nice
sock to the face. As you can see, Hell lean up against the
VARs. This one is feisty. Mmm. How shall we reward you north
Keza. I wonder you are already second amongst the obsidian oathraders. What would
you have me give you? Narqueza will take perhaps a new weapon, a
new weapon. We might be able to find something for you. The Hobgoblin
soldier sort of looks over towards Go Drac and Go Drack. Out of the
corner of his eye looks towards the Goblin soldier and go DrAk nods his head.
The Hobgoblin soldier h Kah will rear back and strike in arth Keza.
Uh fuck it, I'm pulling out the flute. I'm going to try and
flute of the flute of Charm via Godrick. I will pull it out and
immediately begin playing a tune. Okay, we're gonna move you over to this.
We're gonna move you over to here because we're gonna need some initiatives.
And knew it and I wrote that too early. O. Wow, Okay,
I'm gonnax that uh lighting real quick. I didn't think it'd be I
didn't think it'd be that bad. I wanted to do a cool bar effect.
But it's a little too much. Yeah, that's it's truly barred.
Okay, So let's see here see if we can fix this. Uh,
everybody, including you, Malvic, please select your tokens and role initiative.
I think this will probably be a stealth based roll. M accidentally to do
correctly stealth based for Malvic or or for all of udy. Okay, because
what with this oh roll? The same oh? I put in a stealth
Oh I had a perception hold on. Here we go. Okay, let's
see they are gonna make perception based rolls. Oops, is the wrong one.
Let's try that again. Going with the first roll, though, don't
worry, selected the wrong token. Uh okay, this one is north Kesa
rth KESA has that blue background. Uh okay as a M and go drag
alrighty go drack. The quick is Uh, let's see, Uh, Yara,
you are drawing this as North Kesa is getting stabbed. I'm going to
say, we're gonna have Yara and uh the Hobgoblin soldier sort of go kind
of at the same time. Uh, this is a sort of surprise round
here. Yara, you are first, all right, I'm going to go
ahead, and I will begin to play a tune with my flute, targeting
gold Rock. This will be a we'll save against my performance rule. She
is a twenty one. Okay, not bad, could have been better though
it was not leting. That is enough. Vers So, Yara, you
begin to play the flute, which does not affect the soldier. You are
trying to entice Gonderich with this flute. Is what goes on? What happens,
Well, I will play out the flute, and I will play a
melancholy tune directed towards Godrac and how lower the flute, and I'll say,
darling, so it does not have to be finding Godrick, tell your darling
friend here or your compatriot that they need not strike anyone with friends. After
all, Godrac sort of looks at you for a moment and says Godrach did
not know that you were so skilled. I mean, I can absolutely play
tunes for all of you at some point if you want to be a little
more kind to each one of us, who have us all engaged. As
Godrac's attention turns from north Keza and his hobgoblin soldier to you, we continue
around as the soldier will strike at North Kesa and we'll get a little circumstance
bonus here. This will be a long sword attack, is going to be
close. I think that is a hit, but let me double check that
is a miss. As the soldier tries to stab at North Kesa, missed
it by one. By the way, the uh North Keza is clearly expecting
this treachery and just just sort of dodges out of the way. Ah not's
so quick, are you fool? And now now we are in regular turn
order go drink. The quick is staring at you, Yara, and says,
what would you have me do? I will twirl my hair. Perhaps
you could let us all out, calling your words and honey and your visions
seems bathed in a dreamy haze. Ummm mmm, So this wasn't a crit
make a diplomacy check diplomacy. I can do that hopefully twenty six. Now
that should perhaps be a critical so, uh, go Rock says, fool,
what are you doing, Relea stem Immediately the Hobgoblin has like his sword,
like what he's just he's ready to just kill the shit out of North
Kesa. They've obviously like got this silent communication between them. They have this
plan worked out, like all right, we're going to eliminate the competition,
and suddenly Go Drac is ordering them to stop, and oh Drac let them
out, fool and go Dronk will make a role here versus the hobgoblin soldier.
Okay, let's see, this is gonna be an intimidation role from Go
Drack. Okay. The soldier just kind of like looks around at the situation.
Yes, go Drac and we'll immediately walk over towards Yara and Sakuachi sell
and start unlocking it is anybody taking any aggressive action here? No, no,
okay, y'all know how the flue works. Do not fuck this up.
We are out of combat then, thank you so much, darling.
There's quite stuffy in here. The soldier looks confused towards Go Drack, and
Go Drac is a bit floaty right now, just kind of staring at Yara
as Yarra has the flute, sort of entranced by the flute and the uneed
words of Yarra. Might I speak with you in the corner over here,
and I will point towards the corner of the room. Okay, yes,
of course. And I think through Godrac's vision what we see is the scene
from Wayne's world, Oh dream Weaver. I believe you can get me through
the nur, you know, like just these like beams of light, you
know, like shining down on Yarra and like little twinkles and shit all over
the place. As Yara you just kind of uh me, go Druck,
listen to you, Yes, go, drag will follow, all right,
So go over here and we'll have a little chat. Keep our voices down
cutting. So I see that you have that prisoner there. Do you have
any others that you are held in captive at present? No? No,
no others at all, No, not that we have found. And have
you seen anyone looking like any of us other than the ones that you have
in here around SkyWatch recently? Hmm. There are others that walk around,
but we have not captured any oh see interesting, Well do you mind letting
my friends come over here as well for little audience? They are your friends,
of course, I trust them. Darlings, come come the soldiers just
like has sword in hand like, go drag? What what what do you
want you do? Shut up, fool? Can you not see this honeyed
one is speaking. I'll wink at them. Narth Keza is sort of staring
at the soldier. You can see like just some some very sharp teeth showing
like a shark set of teeth showing just outside their lip as they glare at
the soldier, looking like they at any moment could tear their head off.
Now, darlings, what do we propose we do? Apparently Boss rec does
not have any other any other's held captive. You're in the camp, that
is, will you cook you need to release him? He looks hard.
Yes, god Rack, darling, yes, can you tell them please?
Hm? That is quite kind. Could you please tell your friends there to
release the beaten and bruised one? You are this one? We do,
yes, you heard her, fool, release them immediately? What godrag?
We were going to trade this one for shut her pool? Oh? For
what goes? Rock? Godraq was going to trade this one and then lie
and kill them all, kill them all as in they're friends, the ones
in the market, in the market. What do you know of them?
Not much we have seen. There are many that reside in market. Ah
many? Well, then I suppose we have returned your dear darling north kez
to you. Raises an eyebrow, Darling. Is there much else that you
require before we leave? Your friends obviously wouldn't keep us here. Go.
Drac looks just longingly towards you. Hm hmm, just your honeyed words.
Hmm. I will reach over and I'll grab their cheek and squeeze it.
Oh you are so atorical, Goddrac. I will insist that Socoachi is also
released. They're kind of like letting you do whatever you want right now.
So I think what we shall do? Yes, we shall lead and go
DrAk darling. Yeah, will you escort us out? Please? Of course?
Thank you? Wait you are leaving now? Oh? We must we
have a prior engagement. I am so sorry, but I will come back
for you if you would like. Let's make a deception role or I don't
know if you're planning something else here. It seems like deception to me,
I could help and say, or perhaps Godrac could come with us. Would
you like to come with us, then, darling, you could stay with
me? Yes, very good, now smile at nath Kesa. North Kesea
is now smiling as well. All right, good, yes, go drack,
you will follow with them. And then like out of the corner of
her eyes, she's like staring at the soldier who has suddenly gone very pale.
Now out of curiosity, how long have we spent in this whole time
that he has been charmed? Oh, it's just been a few minutes.
And how long did it take for us to get from here or from the
entrance to here? Five minutes? Not even I mean you went down some
stairs. It was a couple of minutes. Go drag, darling. Do
you perhaps have anything that's are warriors to be able to utilize? Or any
treasures you would like to bestow on me, your most magical friend, Please
make a diplomacy check twenty four. My god, so you have a circumstance
bonus. While he's charmed, you get a you're getting a plus four on
these Yeah, yeah, that's not a crit uh, but Godrac just kind
of digs into his pockets and just gives you hands you like a pile of
gold. Roll let's see Roman D twenty. I will reroll that. You're
a hero. No, you can't do that one. You can't do that
one. Yeah, so he pulled. He's got like it's an assortment of
silver and copper that equals one gold. Thank you, god Rac. Looking
all about him, does he appear to have any weaponry or armor that would
be good? My dear are Siria or malevic? So god Rac has several
hatchets. It looks like four hatchets, leather armor that is very well plumed.
There's lots of these red orange feathers that are on it. H and
A yeah, that's it all right? So nothing of note specifically I that
you can tell or oschtalk darling. Yes, do you send any magic in
here? I'll detect magic. See what's about? There is no magic aside
from the items that you all carry. Very good, I can thoughrite it
well, go truck. Is there nothing better in the camp that you might
be able to bestow upon any of my friends? Ol give them your things.
The soldiers just kind of what, go trag. This one has changed
your mind. Yes she hurts, don't give her your feeling. The soldier
is looking really really confused, like still has sword in hand, looks down
at it and let's see, Godrak is gonna make another intimidation chick, my
husband. The soldier just starts like taking off their armor, takes off their
helmet, like makes that start receiving all the things, just makes a you
know kind of sound as the their football shaped head just gets unstuck from their
helmet. It just starts taking off all their stuff. There's hide, armor,
a long sword, a short bow with ten arrows, and a wooden
shield, and rome a D twenty another one, please, yarra nineteen there
you go. Nineteen gold on this one. Very good, so twenty gold
total. Yeah, you just see this hobgoblin not quite naked, completely naked
but wearing you know, like just their underclothes kind of shivering. Good fool,
good god, track darling. Before we go, are there any treasures
that we should know of in this place? Treasure? There is no treasures
here. We are still searching SkyWatch for things. Oh, do you have
any ideas where there might be some? We get confused as we travel.
It is a very strange place, this sky watch. It has been challenging
for us. We have not been able to find much here. We think
that there is treasure in the Smiling Wolves camp. We will take money over
soon soon. But they're all friends. He wouldn't do that, your friends,
they were so kind to us. Yes, please make your diplomacy roll
twenty seven. It's not Christmas hunness. I got the white hair. You
know what I'm saying. Yeah? Uh, Godraqu walks over to the soldier
and slaps him across the face. You idiots. Nor Guessa's just watching all
this like wide eyed, like laughing and smiling this whole time. And Gold
Drag white do you hate this word because you said we should go to the
Smiling Wolves camp and take your fee? You suggeste it? Almighty Godrag,
shut up? Pool all right, go Drag. I think that it is
time for us to leave, though I will come with you. He will
come with us, Yes, good, very good, now, God Drag,
whilst you are gone, that would mean narth Kese is well, not
until we leave the camp that she would be taking command for you while you
were away. Mmm. He looks over just now, realizing that north Kes
is still there. M not while we are here, but only while we
were away. So when you come back, it'll be fine. Make another
diplomacy check, making you roll for every major thing you're trying to convince.
Let me see what did I roll there at nine? I'm going to give
you here a point twelve. You had a plus four on that first one
too, I know. I mean, look at the other rules for I
like, okay, he got greedy. Uh. Godrack sort of starts to
blink a little bit, looks towards north Kesa and uh says, yeah,
North Kesa no longer second in command of the Obsidian oth Raiders. North Kesa
just kind of said, what North Kesa was gone for too long? Oh
well, then why don't you just make her first in command? Mm hmmm,
go drag is first in command? Perhaps go Drac, you exceed such
a hierarchy, perhaps above first in command there is, just go Drac.
Mm hmm you same thing. Well, why don't we go let's start leaving,
God, Drac, are you still coming with us, darling m hm,
yes, yes, all right, Well then I will put out my
hand. He smiles, and it's so creepy, like it's just so many
shark teas like it's like a shark smiling. You know, yes, And
there's so much like just plaque build up going on. I have a link
fingers with not with with god Rock. He lead the way, darling,
go drop wait one moment, Ostilia, Yes, I believe you left something
in my bag if you'd like to have that just in case, maybe we
should wait, all right, Sure and we will let courtract lead the way
out of the camp. Sure moves up the stairs and you hear narth Keza
saying have a good trip the rash talk Watch. Are you going to say,
DONI, we need to help the other friend? Well, we would
have taken them out and told them to release them and everything. Yes,
So I'll help shoulder them and let them walk out with me, Sakawachi.
He'll be under the other arm. You're not carrying them directly. You just
have like an arm underneath, but both of you together, you're having to
like drag him sort of his feet, sort of dragging up the steps.
He doesn't appear to have his own control over this. As you begin to
walk out, Malovic, you're outside. You haven't heard anything going on now
for about five to ten minutes. What are you up to I'm still scouting
about, and then realize there isn't anything going on here, So I'm just
listening for a stress call. It's been a while and I'm just waiting.
So I guess you could say I'm just kind of in a squat position to
where I can launch myself if he'd be. But I'm just kind of waiting
outside. You see the front door open, Oh grab, I'll like getting
ready position. I'll have my sword ready and I'll be rushing towards them.
Go Drock is the first one out, fingers with me. I'll be wearing
back as you rush forward. You've got like a fist cocked ready to just
punch. Go Drock right in the face. Go drack is, render my
flutes. Remember how we talked about that. No, no, donning,
donning. Dob be scared, Dobe be scared. Go drag is frantically looking
for his axe on his side. He's nice, he's nice. Look at
how nice he is. I'm snarling. Make a diplomacy Checklisiera who fifteen?
Okay, go draggon, but yes, go Draka looks towards Malvic, very
confused look on his face. Who is this one? A friend who will
not hurt you since you are our friend, write code rock. Yes,
right, you are marrying him now, we're friends. You have made we
have made it. Yes. Now, perhaps we leave this area and figure
out the rest of our plan. Yes, because this on only holds for
about another thirty ish minutes, maybe forty on a good I don't know what
time it is, but we should probably go where's Narke? We should probably
go the camp, Malvik, could you come help me? Perhaps you and
I should take over carrying this one. They are injured. I'll just keep
my eye on your goblin and alayer is mate it in my head, and
I'll go over to our cilia and be like and you watched. I suppose
I will insist on our ashtak and Takawachi to release the injured one to us.
And as we're moving, I'd like to deliberately slow down so that I
could speak across this first and two Malevic, and I'll lower my voice Malevik.
Mm hmm. I don't want to hear the details. Godtrak is currently
being influenced by the flute. They are They did not mate, nothing happened.
Why would she lie about that? Godrec is still under the spell.
It is possible for it to break if it is stressed too far. Sorcery,
I never understood it. Fine, what's to play well? Not Keza
will be left to her own devices, but she seems cunning enough with Godrac
away perhaps did not make it clear that the camp that they are leader.
We tried. I think this is as much as we can do. This
is not good. North Kasa coturred in any moment. We did not do
them a favor that should go into life. I will not degree what if
you're still confessing on I would disagree. There was an attempt almost made on
north Keaza's life. God Drac wanted to turn onto north Kesa hmm, but
we stopped it. We will trust that one for now. We do not
know how long they will remain in our On our side, fine priorities is
getting back Suko Watchie and their companion. I'm assuming this is who that is,
bye, and I will go along with a plan they have ensued with
disgust in my brain because I just see Godric skipping along in front of me.
See Godrick Darling. You said someone else was put a second in command?
Who was that? Mm? They left sky Watch They h h war
talk. You said they left the SkyWatch? Yes, where did they go?
Bird in command? Stay behind in guard post? So your third so
Arthroc is your new second in command, but you had a third in command?
Stay yes at the guard post? I see, all right? And
where did allto go? Stok leave SkyWatch? Report back to other hobgoblins.
We are the hobgoblins need more if we are to take smiling Wolves. They
have only just left. We not here for a few days probably? Oh?
And how long has passed? Just so the time it where? One
day? I meant for the charm? Oh for the charm? Uh?
Probably twenty five thirty minutes? And have we walked away from the encampment at
this point? Yeah? From the guard post. Yeah, just gotta figure
out where you're going right now? Nobody's really guiding and you haven't decided on
a place to go yet. Darlings, did you hear what what Godroc just
said? They sent people to go get more hobgodins? M M. Should
we perhaps have Goldrock go and fetch a messenger to go and let them know
that that won't be necessary? Or do we just continue on our way?
I mean, we could just you know, continue on our way, and
that'll be fine. That we have to place our trust into Knacks and leave.
Very good. If there's a third InCor man in Knarcaza was second in
some boring away and I'm pretty sure that Knackzer can handle themselves right and if
not, I could return with pleasantries. Very good. All right, god
darling, but just stay right here. I'm going to have a quick word
with my friends. Don't make it too far. We don't want you to
get lost, and I will slip off so he can't hear. What the
fuck are we planning to do with him? Do we want to tie him
up in order to take him as a captive, in order to let the
Smiling Wolves interrogate him? What do we want to do? Because this is
going to wear off in about thirty minutes, we definitely give your mate over
to the Smiling Wolves when they bring back a word of whatever they're planning.
Seeing that their leader has been captured by the Smiling Wolves, may weigh in
their favor. I cannot say that there won't be bloodshed, but at least
they will have another had an intimidation factor. Perhaps we suckle, I'm a
thing coming, that's up. What you darling. Ye, about how long
do you think it'll take you to get us back to the camp? Maybe
fifteen minutes? Fifteen minutes? Okay, If it is going to take longer,
you need to let me know as soon as that changes, right,
all right, Because this is a very fragile state he's in at the moment.
I don't think it's a good idea for us to be walking into the
Smiling Wolves camp with him unrestrained. We might be aware of the situation,
but what would they think right a moment? Well, restrain him, he
will likely break from this spell. This is what happens that. Yes,
other ways we can knock them out before we get there, a precise knocking
the back of the lot, part of the skull. I have an idea
Karunah drugs that can knock a man out. Oh I'm sure I do.
Let me just take a look. Okay, I've got a lot of shit.
Mm hmm Okay, this one will light their innerds on fire. We
don't want to do that, not that. No, No, we have
you know the shadow dread Ampuel. Oh no, no, no, we
don't want him to be like you know, no, no benefits to him.
Just knock him out cold. I can I mean, I can whip
up some numbing tonic, but that won't really knock him out. I don't
really have the stuff to do that. Or I came out all right,
things to keep in mind for the future. We need things to unless if
you want me to make like, you know, some kind of you know,
like a some kind of repeated punching machine. I feel like that might
take a little too long, but I like the enthusiasm. So what shall
we do? Then? Do we walk perhaps ten minutes, and then tie
him up? Or I can knock them out. It would be my pleasure
to knock out the maint of your all right, well, let's walk ten
more minutes. That way we have more buffer in case he tries to escape.
And at this point I will take my spear back. No on the
punching machine. No, but I love the idea of the future. Uses
perhaps, Okay, you saw how good my ladder was, though, right,
that was a very good ladder. You still have that thing, right,
Well, it's in the bag you have, yes, you put it
in. I have it? Oh, correct, beautifully walked a minute in
then Malvic knocks him out. Yes, that will work? Good? Did
you take all of his sweapons. No, I'll leave that up to you.
Yara, Oh god darling, oh twells, come here, come here.
Yes, my ieed mushroom. H I need mushroom. That's cute.
I give a glare over to like ar Celia like help me, oh our
Celia takes out. I take out my notebook and I need mushroom. Yeah.
I wanted to get a better look at you. Yes, might I
see your weaponry and I will hold both hands out. She can't stop talking
about you, so he like super fast draws two hatchets, spins him around
in his hands, and he like does a combat pose. Okay, yes,
love it, love it, beautiful night. I hold on to them,
just to look at the inscriptions and whatnot on them, the etchings,
everything, the plomacy check. Can I help as I take out my notebook
and very clearly start sketching both power pose twenty three total? Okay unless Arsilia
is in fact helping, in which case, so I rolled the wrong thing
there for Sakawachi to guide you. But it's the same role, so still
pretty fucking good. Okay. Are you helping then, are Cilia? Yes,
I'm playing out the admiration here. That's the twenty okay u. Yeah,
Gondric just hands over his weapons four hatchets. Beautiful, beautiful and do
you have any other weaponry or things that might be worth noting. You can
see he's thinking for a second. Ah, and then he starts to he
starts to unfasten his his cod piece. Oh no, no, no,
no, no, he's Gondric's weapon. I see. I meant more along
the lines of something you could stab someone wither, not in a sexual way,
just in general, you know, like a knife or a sword or
you know, something like that arrows. Just wanted to be sure. Okay,
hold onto these for audio, darling. Yes, yes, I can
do that. Isn't the droneis say that his member was the sword? Once?
Mm hmm. I present the drawing that I've made. I have you're
all the fifteen on crafting? Do you think Godric it's you see the cod
piece? Isn't it beautiful? Does not look like god Godric is much taller
than the No. One second. Now draw a tree in the background,
just serve make your game taller. The face is not right? All right,
all work, all right, we must go. You're wasting time.
We will go, We will go. Let's just go. And to be
clear, I would have also taken my rape her out and popped it back
on my side. Sure. With Sakawachi's aid, you continue your way to
the Smiling Wolves camp, eventually coming across the familiar exterior. There are guards
there as you approached. They sort of have weapons ready as they see as
they see you sort of approaching. Now, are you doing the thing that
you talked about? Are you sort of knocking Godric out? What are you
doing? What's the time right right now? Uh? Somebody make an int
check. M hmm intelligence, I can do that. Yeah, yes,
I have a plus zero. Oh maybe with the hero points. We're rolling
a six with a hero point. You think that you've gotten here with just
a little bit of time to spare, maybe like a couple of minutes.
Yeah, it's really hard to keep track of time without like a reasonable like
time piece, and with all of the strange redirections and things that Sakawachi has
to do to kind of keep you all on track to get back to the
Smiling Wolves camp. It's really difficult, but you manage it. Yes,
we have a few minutes at most right I'm coldrick. Yeah, I like
to give me a hug. Yes, and I'm looking over a malavic and
as he comes in for a hug, I mouth do it. Yeah.
I'll take both hands and I'm gonna club him in the back of the head.
Yeah. And I'm holding him in an embrace, so if he tries
to break free, am grappling him. But twenty five, oh, think
god, it wasn't lethal. Yep, okay, uh yeah, you clonk
him on the back of the head. I spit on him. I'll brush
my leathers off and my skirt off. I'll begin to tie it up when
he's on the ground. The I take out my rope for you. Smiling
wolf guards sort of like look at each other as you approach. What is
the meaning of this? We bought true present? That is gold rock,
his gold rock. They like rush over a little bit wary of what's going
on. Those are the same ones that Matt said that they would they were
working together with us. Yes, could you bring us mats? Please go
get mats and watch them. See one of them rush off. Thanks to
God, I have to do that ship anymore exceptional. Ya don't expect that
ever. Again. That was miraculous. You're enjoying it, and then I
will go for a drink. I'm a good doctor. Go ahead and give
ya a hero point for that. Thank you, good job, well done.
A lot of a lot of really luck key rolls as well. That
was well rolled. So U Matt's like, uh, will sort of rush
over. He just he looks down at the ground, then just looks at
you all and starts bursting out laughing. And he's just he's he's half bent
over, he's slapping his knees, laughing so hard. He's wiping tears from
his eyes. That was fast. Already. You have captured Rack. Your
friends aren't there, but we might want to have a discussion and you might
want to have him tied up and captured somewhere. I think we can arrange
that very good. And uh yeah, Matt's will direct the guards to kind
of like help sort of grab Godrac who's like, you know, concuss as
you are, you know, welcome back into the camp. Ah. That
was very first. I expected it to take most of the day. What
are you doing now? Well, we pulled off something incredible that probably won't
ever happen again. We were able to charm god Ruk to not only free
everyone that he had held captive. None of yours were there simply suck what
his friend was. But we also got information he had his guards strip in
front of us and give us all of their golden outfits. Yes, what
else did I miss anything? They said they center Runner for more backup to
attack this camp. Yes, so you might either want to move your camp
or be prepared to fight, or perhaps leave SkyWatch for now. They are
bringing a horde of our bogoblins that might hard to kill you. You might
be able to get more information from Godrick. Yes, that is now a
new opportunity for this. Thank you for the help. That is most kind.
I suppose it will be returned in favor. Of course, I have
already said we are mercenaries, we are business people. You help us,
we help you very good. Our original agreement will be of course honored.
M I have a question, Ratt, do you know anything about a market?
Yes, this is something that we've already discussed. This is where we
believe the one known as the Niage domestic market is the Marchant Square. Yes,
that is where my man saw her. Excellent, I will look to
Yara. Do you think that will be our next course. Yes, I
mean we are still very fit to go and search. None of us took
any sort of damage or used any sort of spells or anything other than my
flute. We are very well gad to go and continue with the arrangements.
If you all are good to go, we are prepared. But now we'll
look to Sakawachi and their injured companion. What was the name of the companion?
Again, I'm sorry, Lekuk, Are you prepared to join us to
guide us? I? She looks a bit, She looks like she's struggling
with the decision. She looks towards Matt's and say, are you able to
take care of him? I'm worried for his safety. He was beaten up
quite badly. Would you like for me to take a look at him?
Please? All right, Sakawachi will sort of assist you with this as well.
She was trying to get you guys back here. Who's as quickly as
possible to get to like a safe place where you check on him? Yeah,
uh, okay, you can make a you can do a treat wounds,
or you can just do a medicine check or whatever. Yes, I'll
do treat wounds at an expert level. Do you say twenty two? Okay
that yeah, you treat his wounds nine for twenty two healing part of me,
right, he's he's he's been beaten up, like pretty pretty bad.
You know, he's got like some some uh probably some broken bones that you're
able to kind of like uh splint up and get him sorted. Uh.
He probably has some like minor fractures, but nothing like horrible. He doesn't
even have like a you know, like like a horrific breaks or anything like
that. He doesn't have like a bone sticking through his skin or anything.
So you're able to kind of like patch him up, get some get some
bandages on him, and split him up. After about ten minutes with Sakawachie,
excellent. All right, It'll take some time for those to heal properly.
I'll be able to possibly help you more at a later time, but
for now that we'll have to do. Are you all right? I am
all right. I I would like to go with you. As long as
Matts believes that Lokok will be safe you it will be fine. Don't worry.
We have plenty of guards here and we will tacure him. Do not
worry. As long as you are doing work for us us we will tread
your like one of our own. Very good. Now that runner was sent
out a Rostok. I'm not sure if you said the time span, but
it was about a day ago. I'm not sure how long until they get
to wherever it is they're going, but they are not inside of SkyWatch.
Godrac said three days, But I do not know if that was to get
there and back, or if it was to get there and then three days
back. But three days was mentioned. I would assume that is when they
will return. That is the safest assumption. M And you're saying this out
loud so that Matts can hear. Yes, Okay, yeah, Matt's it
three days? Well, we will have to be quick. Then that is
good information. Will see what we can also learn from God Rank. Perhaps
it will be a bit more willing to speak up. If worst case scenario,
we will see if we can close the gates of SkyWatch and not allow
them intro you, and then we will have all the time in the world
to take what this place has to offer, unless they bar the river.
But we shall see. We shall keep our scouts active thank you again for
the information. Got all right? Do you have any alchemists in town that
might have some sort of knocking out powder? We don't have a much in
we alchemy supplies here. Most of my men are mercenary fighters and such.
Well, on that note, do you perhaps have any weaponry that will suit
us should we end up getting into any sort of altercations. We trying to
recover your men, and we have already given you supplies. Upon the completion
of any tests, we will give them more. That's fair. We have
brought you a very valuable bargaining chip in two I should count for something.
Yes, you have, and we will honor the agreement that we have already
come to. Very well, what is the plan? Where are we going
first? So many places to go searches? Well, the Mystic market is
where we are just start, is it not? Mm hmmm, fine,
let's give you a sorry, you can continue. No, I was just
saying, let's get going before you get starck. Mm hmm. That's already
daring you. Right, Well, no, no, I'm sorry it you
did. You did leave during daylight. You you slept that night, so
it is is daytime out right. So that being said, Matt, could
you just refresh us on where your friends will last seen? Oh? Yes,
let this see here. Well, we had thought that one of our
people he sawy was investigating the hobgoblins. We would have thought that they were
at the Gray Post. But if you did not see them there, I'm
not sure it is possible that they followed the ones that left. What did
what did Goldac say about the market? He mentioned it. Did he see
people there? I think is what he said. Denis I believe was the
one that was supposedly near the Mystic Market, and then there was Pollmark,
which was another friend. I believe they were seen leaving the city gates.
Is that correct? Yes, that's correct. Do you know which gate it
was? Yes, the main skywalks gates, not the gates over the river.
We have control over the lockhouse for each of those gates. I see.
So what do we all think then? Mystic Market? Yes? Good
to me. I believe that we should go to the market. M oh
yeah, perhaps, like we can you know, buy some supplies and stuff,
you know, maybe they have some good potions and things. Is it
an active markets or abandoned? I mean it's got market in the name,
it's kind of like, you know, a punching got. If they don't
have stuff that we can buy, they might be left over goodies. Right.
It sounded like from what Godrac had said that there was some bartering.
Perhaps he was planning on trading uh the prisoner. Someone is doing something out
of it. Perhaps time is of the essence. So like, are you
saying we should sell goderick in the market? No, like a like a
slave or something that's horrible or No, that is not what I was employing.
No, we should go to the market, check it out to see
what was going on there anyone, and then believe it was the gates that
someone else was. I'm supposed to be, So it's an easy way to
circle around. Yes, all right, I would like to keep in mind
that the hobgoblins may not be the only threats that I hear. M.
Yes, we'll need to find out more about these newcomers so to speak.
Yes, all right, that seems like a man. So then soccer watchy,
Yes, are you prepared to lead the way before we go sucker watch?
Is there any way you can teach maybe our silia how to read the
stars or how you go about your way? But the way, we don't
have to bring you every time we go into danger. I appreciate the concern,
but I am I believe that our fates are entwined. I will take
recountability for my own safety and carry only. As we begin to head out,
I will ask rash talk. May I get two of those hatchets that
we took off of godrak oh? Yes, I have no purpose for them,
Belevic. Would you like the others? Can they be through? Yes?
They are well bun Yes, I would like when I've been holding onto
this room that they bought and I was able to put it on anything.
But oh yeah, once they get some time, I can put that run
on for you. Excellent. That way, when I throw this it could
return to me just as much as your spear does it for you. No,
I will give two eights of you mm. These are just regular hatchets.
Yes, okay, oh okay, thank you, And I'll take up
career in the marching order. I'll be in the middle. I guess I'll
be in front with Sakawachi. No, I will be close to those two
in the front, very well, okay. Sakawachi will use some astronomy to
lead the way okay. And I'm not sure if you want to apply the
still or anything, but I did say earlier that anytime Soakawachi would be doing
any of these sorts of checks, I would be happy to guide her right
the process. Okay, you can be Yeah, I think this will be
an occultism role for you. Oh no, I'm going to use guidance on
her. Oh oh oh right? Or this is just a plus one yes?
Okay? Would it hem, dear, would it perhaps be reasonable that
in asking questions and being generally curious about this whole process, that it helps
Sacawachi focus on this topic and therefore might help or in you can help,
this will be in occultism, yeah, twenty three? Nice, Okay,
I need to just check something really quickly here. Sorry. I will actually
move towards the front then, and as I'm speaking with Sacawachi, I take
out my journal, I strike notes down, I observe the stars alongside her.
This is get. What the actual name for this is? I know
you're helping. What's the actual name for this? This is adad aid Okay,
DC twenty give it plus one circumstance chrit success is plus two, Okay,
it's a very good thing that both of you did that, because that
is the exact number that was needed. Let's go and needed it twenty five
because this is daytime and it is harder to choose to do this during the
day or when it is cloudy. Okay, so uh, there's a few
moments where you get like turned around for a second, but as you're helping
and whatnot, you manage to assist Soakawa stay on track. Man, this
place is fucky. It's so weird walking on these roads and then like just
turning around the way that you think you just came and going back that way,
only to realize that that is the way you need to go. And
it happens several times where you just get like turned around. If you like
constantly stare up at the sky, it'll it will sometimes do the thing where
it's like rotating, you know, like if you're just like rotating your camera
in a game or something, you know, and you like like if you're
looking up at the sky and Skyrim, you're just like seeing the sky like
rotate and shit, and you're like standing still. It's really off putting and
it definitely like fucks with you. If you feel like your character has like
any emotion sickness. It's probably like acting up a little bit, you know,
as you uh will eventually make your way to the Mystic Market. As
you spend some time walking through the Mystic Market, probably takes you like half
an hour to an hour something Along those lines. You can see the cobblestone
streets connecting to this open air market from each cardinal direction. Wooden storefronts line
the perimeter of the market plaza, in the center of which stands a one
story wooden building with a wooden door. To the west, an empty stone
fountain waits opposite the tents and carts that scatter the plazas plaza's eastern side.
A low hained moaning echoes from the squar's northeastern corner. Do you will hear
that that is my stomach? No, no other than your stomach ossilia.
Matter of fact, do you see anything? They can checks? They can
take a picture. I will look around twenty four, okay or Celia.
As your group starts to come across the market, you see these things,
there's a distinct feeling that there is like a trap set up here. Maybe
you see some eyes looking through some windows and things, some lights snuffed out
as you approach the market. Mm hmm, Hold, something's wrong. I
think this might be an ambush. Good do we see anything a device or
anything any short? Or do any make another perception? Chet? There's no
device, but I will point out the direction. Someone was watching us and
they do not want to be seen. There's some like tents and stuff that
are set up. Where are the people like, there's obvious signs that somebody
was camping here. Well, they have seen us. It is not likely
that we will be able to remain hidden afterwards. No, if we try
to, sure, shall we invite them in? It's a conversation. They
likely know that we know. Now since we have stopped a direction over there,
out Lah slowly started walking that way for all intents and purposes. You
are coming in from the on the eastern side. You can see that there
are some some tents and things that have various colors. There's also some like
market stall flaps you know that are kind of like flapping just in some gentle
breezes passing through. Mm hmm. There are there are two buildings on either
side, on the north and south on the path that you are walking in
towards this area from the east. Are there any signs of who might have
been here, specifically, any odd jacks that might seem hobgoblin and design humanoids?
Are there any animal droppings in the street? There are not. Okay,
there's again this one story building kind of in the central plaza area.
And in the plaza you can see that there's uh, there's like some some
tents and and things like that, and just like flapping cloth in the wind.
They know we're here. We just call out to them of the plan.
Oh, I can go knocking on doors. We should stay together in
case there are others sitting. You mentioned something about trade by we mentioned the
one who was going to trade's name. I do not think they did,
pulling out maybe the best man. It is assumed that they wanted to have
Uli Cook returned to them. Yes, since they wanted to make a deal
with the ones in the square here on the market, Let's see what they
have to say. Yes, and we can pull that out if we need
to. Hmmm, I will lift my head. Hello, we would like
to trade. Is anyone here? Oh? Uh? Make a diplomacy check.
Okay, I'm kind of good at this, and might I be able
to assist her, and so actually I will guide her, guide me,
baby, I need that guidance. Let's see, So nineteen, I think
I'm going to reroll that I only rolled an eight. My bonus is a
little and I feel like you could do better. That's funny, same thing,
but I believe in you do. We want to stick with the twenty.
It's Christmas. Let it rain twenty one, okay, twenty two total?
Then all right, okay, So as you're like walking down the slake's
quiet, like like cobblestones, just kind of like echoing off the buildings nearby.
There's no response for a second, and then you hear what sort of
trade depends? What is it that you want? You have? This is
our first time in the market, and we might have some things that you
would be interested in, such as weapons mhm intuition. We are travelers that
have been between planes. We might have things of interest. Please make a
deception check. Oh no, that's true. We've been through some pornols we
were. I have paintings and herbs from us, and having participated in this,
might I aid her? You can definitely aid. You put us on
a planet made out of flesh. Okay, you can you can. Uh,
it's just it's just the terminology of the planes. But I guess you
have been to another plane. Go ahead and make another diplomacy check and y
area. You can make one too. Twenty nine twenty three. Okay,
you can send out one to trade. We shall also send out one.
No too, You're probably better to one to do it. Yes, ras
stuff you wanted to do it? No, m If I have to run,
I have a better chance of escaping. No, yara, no,
none taken? You feel free? I look down at your dress. Yes,
it's a bit difficulty to run in that, isn't it. I'm getting
better at it. I mean the more you wear it, the more you
run in it. I don't mean it as a skill. I mean I've
been chumping, and I've been climbing. I've been doing all sorts of things
in this. You are quite lumber. I'll stick to the desk. Yes,
certainly, I'm sorry. You're having a moment, melevick. You want
to you want to do it? Is that what you're saying? No?
I think your cilias would save Are you afraid? I'm going to tell them
I'm not going to sell a mask of any sort I mean you made a
shop keeper cry essentially before I told him exactly what you told me. Are
you terrified him? He almost shit himself. In fact, I think he
did. Dad may work here. No, no, I I want.
I think I think we should give Malefic a chance. We are part of
a team. After all things. We send two. I have been working
on the items I've shouted out. Perhaps we send two and that's like for
both, for for everybody to hear you. Then there we go. Christis
averted and malevic you get to participate. I following, I take out the
fifteen paintings and hand them to malevik. As. As you start taking them
out, I would advise, no, we don't want to show them what
we have quite yet we should the worst. Well, they we have my
bag, then if that's all right with you, I take off the bag
of holding a hand to do. Just be careful what you do with that
bag. Say you hold it, strap it to yourself if I will.
I'm just fixturing, like, if we have to run and we're holding fifteen
paintings, it's gonna be a really hard to run away. Keep it in
the bag and on your body. Something happens, I will it looks like
me coming back from the grocery store, literally every single bag in one trip.
My topic straight. All right, let's go. We begin to start
forward. Yeah, each step just like echoes off the cobblestones in the in
the wood buildings around. You can see that the There are two figures that
make their way from the south. You could probably hear like a door close
and stepping out, you see a a large sort of blonde man wearing some
heavy furs and leathers and things, long hair. And there's another another man
with long hair, wearing like a hat and sort of like a cloak that's
been wrapped around his neck. I have a question or see, how told
are you? I'm six foot wait now details seven foot tall? All right,
I'm six seven How told? Of these men probably around six feet something
like that. Good, all right, I'll walk up to them and I'll
just stand then. That's what I'm getting at. You can see them,
Yeah, yeah, it was I was just the hall. Okay, yeah,
I'll walk over. Okay. Yeah. As you approach, you can
see the blonde one sort of like lean just slightly over, whispers something to
the other one across my arm. I'm going two days. Okay, Yeah,
I went to go and say something to our say and I saw that,
and I just stared and then I snapped too and pulled back. Mm
hmm. Okay. Yeah. As you approach, uh, you you can
see there's like a building on the north side, in the south side.
Building on the north side has a door on the to the street on the
path that you're on. The building on the south has a window at the
corner of the building that is facing the street that you're walking down. Right
now, all right, that'll be far enough. My name is Turner.
What do you have to trade? Oh? Pull out, I'll ask us
say here to open the bag or actually I'll just we'll keep it on our
say and I'll fumble around until I feel like, do we have some ship.
I'll pull out one of the weapons, I guess, but do we
have we have long swords? We have atchians, so I'll pull out a
long swords. Hmm. We have many paintings. Drake steaks herbs from a
different plane of existence. They look at each other a bit wide eyed.
M make a diplomacy check me. Yeah, twenty five interesting. We might
be willing to look those things over. What do you have. We've found
some things around this market might be of interest. There's some scrolls that we
have magic if you're interested. Do they display any of these things or do
they just say it. They have like a little a bag, like a
like a satchel kind of bag, and they just kind of like open it
up. You see some papers in there. Mm. Could I use my
intuition here to see if they're lying they're trying to deceive us? Yeah,
go ahead, make a perception check. Two. They're definitely wary of you.
This is not a safe place where they've set up camp. It's pretty
stupid strategically. There's four ways in mm hmm. Choosing a plaza as a
place to like camp not bright. If there's like a lot of mercenaries and
stuff that are making their way through this town, uh, they probably have
reason to be wary. And you can definitely see them like a little skeptical.
But also they look like they're very interested in getting something out of this
place as they are showing these items. I like to pay particular attention to
their hands. Can I tell if perhaps their nails are dirty with ink or
perhaps calloused from fighting with these? As these are like fighting people. You
can tell that, okay, pretty easily. They're a little rough and tumble.
You can see that they've got like a few bumps and bruises and things,
nothing like. You know, they're not like super beaten up or anything
like that, but a few like bumps and scratches and stuff like that.
And as I look down at the items, I am very familiar with scrolls.
Can I tell that these are genuine scrolls or just pieces of paper?
Definitely have to get a better look. You're not sure? Can I get
a closer look at one of these? Let's all agree to have our weapons
stowed. M I'll put the great sort up, but the hatchet is on
my hip. They leave their weapons sort of sheathed. You can see that
the other one has a crossbow, but let me just double check. The
one with the hat has hatchet as well, and also looks like a sling
with a bag of bullets next next to it. The one that is that
you were talking with that has identified themselves as tenor has a great sword and
a short bow on their back and is wearing scale mail. Hmmm, and
I currently have my weapons away. I will fold one of my hands behind
my back and lean in all right, okay, I would like to get
a closer look at the scroll to see if it's genuine. Check out the
scroll. The other one nods, starts to take out the scroll, holds
it up. What do my orc I see? Please roll me in D
twenty D twenty not an arcona? Seven? Now make me an arcana.
Check twenty five? Okay seven, let's see what you got? Uh so,
twenty five arcana. Just glancing over this, it appears to be a
scroll of enlarge. Oh all right, I lean back. I'll give melevick
an approving nod. Good. What is the price on your items? Trade
wise? I'll present the blade that I pulled out, and I'll let them
get a close to look as well. But my hand is over the hilt.
For a scroll like this will take forty gold pieces, or if you
have more items to trade, a long sort alone won't do it. Of
course, I'm just showing you the quality of the items that we have.
We have plenty. You just have to name your amount and we will negotiate
whether that's fair. As I said about forty gold pieces, I'll begin to
pull out paintings to what I think would be a fair amount. We got
the whole set. They wanted ten gold, right, and we were like,
no way, right, they wanted one hundred. They were going to
give you one hundred gold pieces for all fifteen oh from my garbage rolls,
never mind. Mm hmmm, how many paintings fifteen? Ok? Sure,
forty pieces worth, that's up to you. How much do you think that
is. I'll take your paintings out the sword and these two these are from
another plane of existence. You could probably that's a fine any of this.
They both kind of look at each other. They're like, really skeptical of
what you're saying. Right, I will step in and illustrate the tale of
Knevo the Slim, and how these chronicle parts of his life now show how
they are enchanted and they move a wobble. Sure, make a diplomacy check.
Twenty six. What do you think they could be some kind of magically
enchanted paintings. I mean, they do move. It has to be some
kind of magic, all right? There, long sword in two paintings.
As they're disgusting. I would like to lean back to Malvik so they can't
hear me. I think I think these individuals are not that bright. I
don't know if you noticed, but we are in a literal crossroad, strategically
unsound to set up camp here. Yes, they have less tactical browses of
governments. That's something to keep in mind. We are not in as much
dangerous originally thought. Yeah, but I don't see any no prisoners though.
Once we make a fair trade, you know, like look back and on
nod we can then I do still hear that moaning coming from what appears to
be the building to the north northeast. Originally we came here for what you
look at the front, so as we get off a bit of trade.
As I begin to hand over the two paintings and the long side, I
will say this is likely worth more than forty girl, but perhaps you can
consider the extra as a tip. We do have to carry all those things
out. Bulky items can be a little bit more difficult to deal with,
and paintings aren't exactly easy to carry around. How did you manage? They're
sort of like eyeing you up and down, trying to figure out where all
this stuff came from, because it's not making too much sense to them.
You would just be hauling these paintings around. Two paintings and a long sort,
and we are quite capable. Do you not see our size? Plus
we have others, We have our weights. Mm hmmm, what is that
moaning? Who knows? Sounds like a bigger trade to me, I'll cut
the bullshit. We are looking for our companions. I see you are here
in the market at across the road, maybe open a venturing travelers, maybe
the misguided, maybe those that get lost. That is none of our business,
but what we would like to do. So No, if you have
any information on whereabouts are said companion, maybe well perhaps if we make some
more trades, I might be willing to part with such information. I just
looked towards I see here. I'll take one painting out and hold it out
a generous tip. Then now I'll act it up like wait, yes,
not that one. What is more worse than the others? Are you all
right? This is the first one? Either a deception or a per performance?
Check? Okay, they got a plus three, don't okay? Or
Celia, I'm assuming you're helping. Yeah, do I have to all the
same one performance? It would be performance or deception? Okay, they're saying,
okay, ah, every roll, No, I won't Okay, Okay,
they say, uh, not a bad tip. Fine, let's see
you, but first you give us some information. We honor our word.
Okay, what kind of information I told you already. We're looking for our
companion. Did you have anyone come through here with and all the swords?
I say yeah. Uh. They they look at each other and they laugh
like a little bit. Yeah, yeah, we did first on their body.
I don't know if they'll be on a name's sake, but we'll describe
that kind of what sucks Takawachi who looks like in their dress since they all
have a similar dressing. Uh. Kennor takes out a pipe and lights it.
Yeah, sounds familiar. My patience is being tested, but I hold
it back, and we would like to see this companion in trade. Or
said companion fair enough? What else can you offer? So I say,
yeah, it'll also growl a little back. You are beginning to test our
patients. We have been nothing but respectful and generous with our tips. I'll
munstrap the lance off of my body. This is quite impressive. The making
model you will not find anywhere Hungalarrian. I will share the story of where
it came from from the memory vaults under far Away please call loss obviously like
half bewildered by this story that you're telling them, half like okay, whatever,
it's a fucking lance dude. You know, does does it look like
anything was made? I mean it came from a different place. Yeah,
I mean it's it's kind of you know, it's a bit uh uh.
You know, it was just a bit dirty as well, Like you guys
kind of pulled it out of the trash basically in the in the memory cash
and uh, I don't think anybody's really cleaned it up or anything. So
yeah, I mean it's it's kind of like a bit dilapidated. So they're
like, okay, you know, they're they're rolling their eyes and stuff like
that, Like you're like your merchants almost, you know, they're they're expecting
a little bit of a haggle here. Okay, you can probably use that.
What else? Can? I have? Two A lot more items?
We have crossbows, we have, but mean, look I have tons of
stuff on my inventory, my mentor in my bag. We have even more
stuff. Yeah, We've got like height armor, wooden shields, steel shields,
YadA YadA. There's a lot. I can list what I have in
mind too, because I yes have a height armor the bow from the the
abgoblin arrows. I have five wooden shields. I have Uh where is the
armor? Four sets of height armor. Yeah. By looking at these individuals,
obviously one is in scale mail, but the other one, so why
did they look they look poorly equipped? Uh? Yeah, the other one
does. Yeah, yeah, so I would pull out hide armor. Looks
like you could use this to a situation that one is in hide armor as
well. I think. Let me check. I know, studded leather.
It doesn't look like the best though, Like it's pretty rundown, you know,
it's not like well maintained or anything. Let's see. We'll take the
shields in the hide armor, and do you have any more of those paintings?
One more painting. You understand that these are highly sort after Mega two
and we'll call it a deal. Two paintings only with in the shields.
This is a person we're talking about. You're right, in what conditions this
person is? Just to look at them? What do I say? You
said I would like to see this person first. We'll give you half.
We'll hold the paintings until we see them. That's fair, I'll hand over
the lance and the shields, and actually I'll hand over one shield in when
I had off it. Bring them out, and do not trade the corpses.
They're not quite a corpse. We don't have to bring them out.
Walk up to the window over there. You said a fair deal. You
bring them out. You're closer. Look at our say. I'm getting impatient.
I am not hiding my frustration. You can see it written all over
my face. Fine, I will stop over and look through the window.
Sure, make a perception check twenty three. Walking up to the window,
you can see somebody lying on the ground. They kind of look like they
are in the throes of a bad dream. They are moving around, they
are wearing furs, and they look like they are wearing very similar clothing and
style to Ulicooku and Sacawachie. What's wrong with them? She's having a bad
dream? What did you do? We didn't do anything, well, not
exactly. Does this look like when we made camp and we would be visited
with those terrible dreams? Does it seem more like that or something else?
I don't think you can really tell. They're definitely like they're definitely like unconscious
and sort of you know, turning because we know that so far every one
of these people have been marked the same way as us. Correct, you
don't you know that Sakowachi has the mark who she claimed her father gave her
that mark for protection on her hand. Okay, how are they? They're
under some kind of influence drug, Maybe they are not well. We have
a healer and one that can read such conditions. We would like to bring
them to check on our companion. If they are not in any immediate danger,
we will make the trade and we will take this one and leave you
be. I will take another diplomacy, jack not less. Yeah, it's
not tunny. Oh if you reroll in this as in natural being rerolled,
Yeah, I should not be making aplomas to check sixteen. I would like
to help. Okay, you can try and aid twenty five items first,
and then you can look all you want. I assure you they're alive.
Well, I said, I would like to take them for the trade.
Yeah, you can do whatever you want with them once we get our stuff.
Fine, and welcome to Arcilia and I we'll collect the items. Yeah,
I hand over the paintings the items, and then I'll just shure yara
to come forward. Yeah, take them less, you're doing business with you.
Was there anyone else? Anyone else? Oh, we've got plenty of
people. Did them The sounds of pain come from this direction? Okay?
Okay, there's a smile across Turner's face. What's for occupation? I'm a
guide. Uh. You read this area as best as one can. I'm
sure you've experienced it. Strange here, some kind of magic, yes,
yarra that sta mm hmmm, of course, I'm sure a coronab You just
follow it at this point in there, carun is in the shadows right,
very goods. So the go to where you walk up to the war on
the northern building. Mm. You can see that the storefront where you approach
has a sign jutting down from the awning. It reads Celestia's Place in a
decorative hand. As you approach the door, you can see there are sort
of like naked dress dummies and unspooled bolts that you can see like through the
window and through the through the door. The door opens as you as you
push on it, and you can see that there is a a person in
there wearing a like a woolen kind of base layer of clothing and is shivering
in the feel position on the floorboards. I will rush over to them.
You're so right, it's all right. Let me have a look at you.
All right, they're non responsive. I'm going to take a look at
them. How bad do they look? Medicine check? I will reroll that
is seventeen. You can't quite tell what's wrong? Yeah, they're non responsive.
In the meantime, I will take the furze off that I have and
I will wrap them in it. Hm, I cannot tell what is wrong
with them? Do you sense any any sort of the arcane on them?
I detect magic in here? Nope, I was thinking so anyway, No,
no magic. What's the range on that by the way, uh,
sixty feet now that I have reached, And does it go through walls?
Let me see, because I know I'm like D and D. They have
like a lead that's like some strict yes, detect magic there, let's see
it doesn't. I'm looking at h bipost Okay. Detect magic is a spelling
path of Founder two that can penetrate barriers. However, it can be blocked
by one foot of stone, one inch of common metal, sheet of lead,
or three feet of wood or dirt. Okay, Yeah, there's a
bunch of different materials stopping you from sort of investigating the entire area around you.
But this, this immediate area doesn't seem to have anything. Yeah,
no magic on them or in the immediate area. Right, And I didn't
notice any sort of injuries or anything that would imply that you need any stitching
or suturing anything. Nope, mhm hmmm, something mental. I wouldn't be
able to detect the magic that has affected them, most likely, let me
see, I'm just reading a spell for myself right now. Turned to what's
his name again? Right, we'll say you said that they were in a
nightmare of some sort you knew about. Do you know about or do you
have anyone around here that knows anything about what's going on? Oh? Definitely,
we didn't do that. I look over at the group and I relay
what they said. A nightmare? Were they? What? What are their
symptoms so far that you've noticed symptoms? Do I look like some kind of
cleric? I have no idea. Puking, shaking, They were shaking on
the ground, and m yeah, look are we done here? No,
you said you had someone here that can tell us. What's going on with
this one? Did not? Oh yeah, I don't know, but they're
definitely here. How many tents are set up in the area. Huh uh,
there's a bunch, for sure. And you definitely saw some some looks
through some windows and things are Celia, h you are not alone? Might
I attempt a restoration on this person? Sure? How does the restoration work
in this game? In comparison to five E, it lists toxins clumsy,
enfeebled, or stupefied. Okay, let's see here. Hmm, let's see
what we can tell you. Okay. Uh. And you were casting the
spell? I mean I would have We didn't learn anything from medicine, and
I was thinking of perhaps seeing if there was anything that I could recall in
terms of a cane knowledge. But I don't think I would really know anything.
So yes, okay, you cast this spell. What does this look
like when you cast restoration? Well, I was already fumbling with the clothes,
trying to see if I could find anything. I will place both of
my hands on the individual, and I will look at them, and both
of us will begin to glow and radiate with a golden light as the energy
that I'm sending into them my oracular powers, sends an even further chill down
their spine, but hopefully will help restore them to their senses. Yes,
you can see them sort of shake violently as you cast the spell. Uh,
it's all right, And then they sort of curl from the fetal position,
blink their eyes, look around a bit blearily for a moment, and
look up towards you. Huh h h h what who are you? What
is going on? Flax flax hm, I'll signal over. Sacawachi Sakawachie like
stays kind of low, like a bit like a very weary, wearily like
rushing Forwardikidigi. Uh huh, sacawachi saka watchie. It's so good to see
you. Oh you're alive. Yes? Who are they? Yeah? Friends,
friends here in SkyWatch? What is going on? We were hoping you
could tell us I drank something some I was offered some tea. She sort
of looks around. Where are my things, my weapons? Where are my
clothes? We don't know. Denigi starts to stand up. Can we trust
them? Yes? Who are they? You can see Dennis take on like
a more aggressive posture, and she looks over towards Turner and the other They
look familiar, and you can see Turner and this other bandit kind of like,
look at each other. Hey, none of our business. We're not
the ones who did it. Where are your friends? Then that's between you
and them. Look, if we're done trading here, you can go about
your business where there are others or was it just you? As I'll say
to Daniki, there were more here. I look towards. I say,
you have other prisoners, prisoners, no guests, guests? Well, I
suppose it depends on what you mean my guests. No, we don't have
either. You. Let's see if that's what you mean. Is that what
you call this snell gesture to the room in general? Oh no, well
you have your party and we have ours. You're being watched right now.
You can rest assured they're a weapon pointed at you in case the trade went
sour. Where are my things? Hey? Look, I told you it
wasn't us. We had nothing to do with your situation. Your friends here
just bought some information from us, that's all we told them. Where you
were You live to fight another day. Material is sick, things can be
replaced. You need to leave. Hmm, unless and I'll look towards I
say again, you can see our Celia's scoring. She wants to beat the
shit out of the sky. She is holding back with your lipshure twitching.
Here's what I'll say is that we spoke with Matts. Matts suggested that there
were definitely other mercenaries and things around. And you know Matt's is not going
to complain if the mercenaries are gone. Of course, I'm just staring at
Arcia. You hear knuckles cracking in the background. Ar Celia draws her sphere
and says, how dare you think that someone can just be bought with things?
Oh? This guy in the looking grown. Yes, you draw your
sword, and Turner says, hey, look, everybody's got to make some
money. And as he holds out his hands like this, uh, he
whistles, and let's bring you over here to the music market. It wouldn't
be Christian. A little bit of red snow baby, all right, dingle
all the way to be your grave. The grave bells tingle, very good,
uh, saying Karoun is about there rash talk and uh yara you were
tending to dnaggy, yes, and where squachiachi would be right here. Does
does dang look as though they are of the agile variety? Or do they
look bulky with your medicine check. You were more concerned about, you know,
if they were going to die hard to say. Okay, they didn't
mention. They just said their stuff, right. They didn't say any particular
items or anything. Yes, okay, everybody bag holding, select your tokens
and role initiative. This will be perception based, perception based. Oh hey,
I rolled my lucky number. The question is this is lucky for everybody
else work? Not I? He ruled regular perception. Oh my bad.
The buttons are literally right next to each other. You're good, okay,
uh caol. Every time Aliphick looked at our Celia, our Cilia is like
tapping her foot shaking. Whoa mm hmmm mm hmmm. It's just a casual
thirty What are you? What about some Okay, that was one of theirs,
right, not Danigi huh mm hmm. Cool. Let's see where's denimn
have to roll this one manually? Oh no, I made a seat okay,
cool? Cool? Of course Denny has no items. If only I
mentioned it before that I have all the things for them. He did,
but they have not had a chance to actually get any of those things.
All right, Uh, Turner will sort of signal to some others. You
definitely can hear the sounds of some things happening as you draw your sword,
ar Celia, spear your spear. I'm sorry, there are some things that
are gonna happen. First, so you hear the windows shatter on building to
the south, and someone will launch a bullet from a sling towards you.
Twenty eight to hit that hits for six bludgeoning damage. Essentially a small like
a rock that hits you. And next we're gonna have the one that is
not visible again, physician, that's another one was gonna do something. Okay,
you're in regular turn order. Now Turner has drawn a great sword and
will rush up towards Malvic. I think great sword for great sword, and
we'll rush forward. I'm sorry, great axe, great axe, my apologies
with a great axe, and we'll attack you. Malavik. Oh, when
but someone was asking for it met a mat Oh yeah, that's is no
crip okay, And this is four twelve slashing damage m h. And the
second attack is a miss with a ten uh and uh, you managed to
dodge out of the way. After that first attack, Turner just kind of
uh like withdraws the axe and then tries to bring it down. But you
rise, your raise, your great sort up to block the next one,
SAKUANCHI will cast bless oh, and everybody in a five foot radius will get
blessed. That covers everybody except for Arcilia right now, so plus one to
it. Bless I'm as a plus one plus one to attack roles yep,
Arceilia, it's your turn, all right. For my first action, I
would like to exploit vulnerability. I'll make an esoteric role against Turner. Is
twenty one. Okay, twenty one. That might not be a success.
Let me say that is a success. Okay. I learned of its highest
weakness, no weakness, okay. It will activate my personal antithesis as well.
So I begin to reach into my pouch and as I'm moving forward,
I wrap a pale white string around the hilt of the spear. Second action,
I'll move forward. I'll actually move here. Sorry that way, I
have the bless and third action, I will attack with my spear. That'll
be a twenty to hit because of the bless That is a parride attack.
You can see Turner just kind of like turn and probably like kick you in
the shin as you go for the attack and just sends it like kind of
like off a little bit. Is that if you turn? Yes, yes,
let's see. So what is this one looking like? Here? Is
different than some of the ones we saw in the windows. Now that was
a change different to people, Yes, but like more of the range type
is the al West Worlds. You know, they're not like copy pasta Just
because I copy pasta them doesn't mean that they're actually identified. Asking I know
you're very good at this. No, like the they're another melee the I
mean you you you saw them. They have a sling and a hatchet.
Okay, yeah, since this one is nice and with everyone else, I'm
going to move back here for my first action and my second. Thunder rumbles
above and I attempt to send a bolt of lightning for the first hopefully successful
time in this campaign, upon the one that was standing next to Turner.
Okay, this is a reflex save yes DC nineteen from some of the lowest
damage I could have gotten, but at least it works. Fourteen damage bolts
down for the first time a raw shock. You managed to create a sudden
bolt of lightning. Uh? And what does it look like this time?
As you do it, lightning and electricity begin to spark and kind of arc
between my fingers to my staff, and I hold the staff up as the
rod, collect it and throw it out directly into them as the lightning strikes.
They are struck by this sudden bolt for decent dwn that is that is
it? Okay? Denigi has no weapons. Uh will sort of take on
a defensive position, and it is sort of like looking around wildly and says
a weapon, A weapon, give me something. My pouch is exposed.
Huh. I look, I have a dagger on my belt. You may
take if that will work. I'm standing right next to them. What kind
of weapons do you use? You are It's like trying to look through a
rolodex, you know, like looking through all your shit. Okay, yeah,
uh and Uh, Dnigi will grab the dagger off of your your belt.
There, rashtak and will rush up to Turner and we'll try to attack
with a dagger. It's a thirty two to hit. Danigi is the actual
fighter in their group. By the way, the actual Hauntets Holy Ship and
uh, we'll score an attack for ten piercing damage. By the way,
what's that they rolled the one? By the way, that's minimum damage rolled.
Uh yeah, that's minimum. Okay, A nice little shot on Turner.
That is it for ease turn He kind of hot, you know,
this is what to me looks like that. All O there you go,
Oh my god, that's saves lots. Yep, you're back off Malvick anyway.
All right, I can tell you you got there slipping up every piece
anyway, you got this, Okay, you would do it, so gess
it. Something happens in between Denise's turn and Malevic's turn. Oh mm hmmm,
okay. Uh. As DeNisi attacks Turner, Danigi is struck from behind.
As you see somebody start to fade in from an invisibility spell. A
woman appears behind Denigi with a big smile on her face as she will attack
with a sneak attack short sword will strike. She's gonna get a bonus on
this attack eighteen. Danige is flat footed. I think this is a hit,
almost positive because she does not have any stuff right now. Yep,
that is a hit. Okay, let's see here. This is gonna be
this plus to seven piercing plus another five twelve piercing damage. As Danigi is
struck from behind. This person that you did not see before stabs Danigi from
behind. She yelps in paint and malevic, it is your turn. A
little down at the wound. I will step this way. There's a space
there, is it not? Or is not? Really? Uh? You?
You can make a tumble through to go through that space if you want,
but yeah, it's this is not a space here. Yeah, yeah,
that's like a I would require a check for you to move through that
space. If you wanted to, like fight there, you wouldn't be able
to do it. Okay, makes sense. I will stay here. And
I started to see a flame burst from the wound that was caused by this
turner, and I will begin to rage and I will strikeout my great suit.
As I lifted it gains an a speeding night. It was all slashed
through twenty five. That is a hit, twenty seven damage, all of
that being fire. Okay, you drive the Great Sort down across Daniki's I'm
sorry turner's leg and yields and paper as you catch a part of the where
the scale armor does not cover his leg, leaving a nice size womed Okay,
yeah, and I'll go out and slash again. This is your last
it's correct, Rent, Yeah, this time, Uh, Turner does the
same thing. You can see that he's like well practiced with like Marshall stuff.
You know, he's sees that you're about to attack again, maybe just
like pushes you with his shoulder and just kind of throws you off a little
bit as you go in for the second attack. Yara, it's your turn.
With my first action, I will wave a hand towards Malevik and the
oracular curse on my face will extend and begin to crack my skin yet again.
As the light starts to pour through, I am casting a life link
on him, so you are healed for three for three healing. And then
with my other hand, I will go ahead and I will cast forth a
blue energy that will summon a spiritual weapon near Turner, and I will make
a strike with such weapon that is a twenty six to hit. Oh yeah,
that is a hit. Oh yeah, that is eight four damage.
Okay, spiritual weapon, I have an actual spiritual weapon token and it is
in the form of a sight. All right, you know, it helps
it all It doesn't know. I'm sorry. You know, I've got like
for all of your inial weapons. It's a lollipop. I'm gonna use it.
Yeah, just have all the tokens for everything, alright, alright,
alright, a normal weapons, that's fine. Yeah, I can draw it
for you. You're a girl. I'm just giving her ship so that I
can actually find the token damn tricks. Uh okay uh. And you cast
this on the other side of turn. Yes, I do. Okay,
alrighty mm m. And that is a hint. What is the damage?
Eight four damage? Okay? It sort of like phases through him and then
there's like a second where it doesn't seem to do anything, and then it
draws blood. All right, that is my ten. He does that like
anime thing where it just he coughs blood up. You know, Okay that
if you return, you are yes, indeed, Oki Doky two unseen foes.
Well, now join the free. I move up here with both of
these as you hear the running on the cobblestones as they rush forward and they
let's see here, they're gonna move back on space. I'm gonna move back
here. Uh, and they will be firing some slings one towards uh Danigi,
one towards ar Cilia. First one towards Danigi. Thirteen is a miss,
the second one will be towards ur Cilia, and then they will reload
after they fire. Fifteen is a miss. The whip these uh these bullets
your one crash or some glass. That is it for their turn. Karoun
alright, it's time to light these guys up. Okay, guys, I'm
going to blow them up with fire and stuff and you know, cover them
in totally you know, really warm nay palm. It's going to be warm
at first, but they're gonna get you know, really hot really fast because
it is fire. And we'll aim at the one that just stabbed the nigi
okay, with a twenty five. That is a hit for one one five
minimum. Doesn't it go up? She gets the splash? Yeah, the
splash yeap. That is the what we'll call it the intelligence mod based yeahech.
So I think what happens here is, uh, we'll have Karun,
I guess just kind of like aim in the middle and we'll just be the
splash damage really okay, so this will be of for fire damage to this
one who has not identified themselves and Turner okay, as the fiery knay palm
just begins to spread and uh Karun does not hit to knee with that because
of special bullshit. Bomber bullshit. All right, and then we'll fire with
a hand crossbow. I think she has more bolts now, Okay, she
did mark those down good, alrighty, that is a miss. She aims
for this person crossbow. You know this thing is really broken. Okay,
you know I'm going to have to apply. I can put like twelve of
those runs on. I think, you know, we just have to find
some I think twelve seems about right, okay, and then reload and that's
it for for Insturn Turner. He just sort of looks around a bit wildly
towards both of you are Celia and Malvic and smiling back. Uh let me
just see here. Uh. Turner says, it wasn't me that poisoned her,
and he points sort of over Danigi's shoulder to the woman that just backstabbed
and says, uh, it was Visa. And Visa goes a bit wide
eyed and says, you asshole, and he says a most fair and violence,
and uh he is mm hmmm He's going to say, look, let
me live and I'll tell you something useful. He see asking me? Or
is he asking? Who is he asking? He's just asking any response.
Nol Levic is getting ready to top this guy's head off. So I mean
if if if I'm stopped, I'm stopped, want to surrender, Get on
your belly. He tosses his weapon down and he'll back up and lay down.
Okay, all right, there's others that memell that can beat the ship
out of Okay. Sakawachi will increase the range of bless by an additional five
feet. You should see that yellow circle on Skawachi. Okay. Or Celia,
it's your turn. Our Celia will wheel around and exploit vulnerability on Lisa
twenty. That is a success. Rita has no weaknesses. All right,
that's fine. And then dab twenty two to hit. That is a hit.
Okay. It will be for piercing damage plus six additional damage the ten
total. Okay. Oh does Danegi look more agile or more ripped? Denise?
Kind of both? Okay. My last action, I'd like to hand
over a morning Star over to Danigie. It will be visibly Yar's Morning Star
that I've been holding. Deniki's already got a dagger, and she looks pissed.
Okay, I mean she doesn't want it. I don't think she's really
concentrating on your morning Star right now. Oh okay. I think as soon
as she heard, like as soon as she was stabbed by Visa, she's
probably like super pissed looking over her shoulder. Okay, I'll just instead then
just again for twelve. That is a miss. This time Visa sort of
batters the spear away with the short sword. Damn it. That will be
the end of my turn a rash stock. Yes, bugs begin swarming me,
biting and taking magic out of me, and fly over to Visa biting,
scratching, and attempting to inflict goblin boxy saving foe of nineteen fortitude.
That is a sixteen from Visa. They have goblin box stage one. They
are thickened one. Next time they be sickened and slowed. M Ah,
there's not much else I wish to do. That succeeded faster than I thought
it would. I will crouch down and take some cover, oh to not
get hit by any bullets flapping around? All righty, that is it?
Okay, nocchi. Alrighty, it is Dani's turn. DANII turns and she
says, you just wanted to offer some tea. I guess it's my fault
for being too trusting. Let's see how this chase and she's going to stab
this shit out of Visa. Umm, let's see who will be in debt
after this attack MM twenty one to hit uh that is a hit uh m,
and this will be four eleven piercing damage. Danigi sinks the dagger in
deeply and she says, uh, I'm not done yet. Another dagger attack
twenty one for twelve piercing damage is pretty freaking nice. Uh okay, and
the last dagger attack M is a miss. So finally, as two quick
stabs, probably to like the guts of Visa, she probably like just punches
Denigi and shoves her away. Visa's like holding her stomach, like looking down.
There's just blood like all over her hands and like bleeding through her shirt.
She's like breathing heavily. She's like looking around at everyone, and she
begins to mutter like a song underneath her breath, and she says, and
she starts to sing this song and she will turn invisible again. You hear
the sounds of like footsteps rushing off. I'm gonna make a stealth check because
I want to seem to leave some bloody footprints. Uh yeah. She leaves
a few bloody footprints as she runs off. It looks like she's heading this
way. You see these footprints sort of trail off, and you hear dni
