Speaker 2: Thank you, enjoy.
Speaker 3: When are we going to hear from them?
Speaker 4: We can hear ours?
Speaker 1: Uh, I don't know.
Speaker 5: We're looking at us. You're looking at us like we're
the problems here.
Speaker 3: Well, they don't know what it is that's happened to us.
Speaker 5: I don't even know what happened to us. I know
if someone shows up in good faith, I wouldn't sit
there and point things. It'd be like, it's all your
fault that all this is happening. I just fell out
of a damn crystal. I think I don't even know
what's going on.
Speaker 3: Well to play advocate, I mean, we don't know what
they've been through either.
Speaker 5: Right, doesn't make it right to sit the point of
fingers at others.
Speaker 3: No, but we can at least try to understand their perspective.
Speaker 4: From it's on a dungeon. Yes, I'd say the perspective
is bleak, dour, and soggy.
Speaker 5: I agree.
Speaker 3: Do we hear any shuffling or anything going on? Oh?
Speaker 1: Yes, beyond the door you you've heard a lot of activity,
lots of marching. You've heard lots of honestly, lots of
like gossip and things have have probably made their way
into the into the storeroom that you are in. The
storeroom is filled with various crates and some a little
bit of lighting from the outside, as well as some
lamps that are hanging. It's sort of impromptu. There's it's
a storeroom. It's you know, got sort of like gold
painted walls, the same kind of marble that you saw outside.
This rich dark marble lines the floor. It's a very
sort of impressive storeroom for all intents and purposes. I
don't think it really does give off like dungeon vibes.
But if there was a dungeon in this place, probably
as close as it would be.
Speaker 3: And of best gossip that we have heard, has anything
stood out in particular?
Speaker 1: Well, why don't we find out, Why don't we have
you make a role to start things off. Let's do
a let's do a roll roll a check for me,
and this will be I think this will be insight
and insight all.
Speaker 3: Right, Okay, that is not very good.
Speaker 1: Yep, that's pretty bad. M Uh. It's been really hard
to make out. I think the only things that you've
really gotten were people talking about the end of the war,
and you definite only heard something about heroes.
Speaker 3: We're not even able to hear any good gossip.
Speaker 4: I mean, if the quest is complete in the wars over,
then why are we in jail. You've got experience, huh.
Speaker 3: I have faith that perhaps Moon will get us out
of this. You know, it seems as though she has
some sway here, right.
Speaker 4: Maybe, But at the same time, I mean, they called
her savior, but at the same time, you know, they
didn't seem to listen to her.
Speaker 3: Well, there is only so much that one's influence can
can do to an extent, correct.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not so sure about that, but I
don't really know myself. I look around the cell. I've
played a game like this once before. I ooze up
towards the wall and I'd pull out a pseudopod and
I knock on the wall to see if it's hollow
or not.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, thick walls. This is like.
Speaker 5: This.
Speaker 1: Probably this room in particular has like a uh I
would imagine, is probably made of part of the mountain
that this gilded hall is built on. So it's just
like it's like solid rock.
Speaker 4: All right, then I'm going to move up every single
square meter. No, no, no, no, until I go all
the way back. It's not the same.
Speaker 5: I guess other things have probably changed. And whatever we
knew or no.
Speaker 4: You know, iron sprocket what never mind?
Speaker 5: Oh? How do you feel over view?
Speaker 4: Wobbly?
Speaker 5: Especially you? Yeah, you were made of of what plussion
owned before? So does I feel any different? You're not walking,
you're rolling or whatever you.
Speaker 4: Hmm, it's hard to place.
Speaker 5: Have you ever.
Speaker 4: Sat in a bar for too long?
Speaker 5: I get our pruney? Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 4: Maybe a swimming pool but with floaties.
Speaker 3: But too long you feel as if you were wearing
a floaties mhm.
Speaker 4: But I can't swim otherwise, so I have to wear
the floaties. But that that's neither here nor there. For
the analogy, it's more than just a you know, to
give you some idea of how I swim. But I
feel like I'm suspended, but at the same time not really.
I don't really feel anything. I feel the ground right.
Speaker 5: I look around as boas telling us this, are there bars?
Speaker 1: There are no bars?
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: There are small windows on one of the wall that's
kind of bleeding in some light. It's like mid afternoon.
I think by now, maybe like later afternoon.
Speaker 4: You've got to look in your eyes.
Speaker 5: End this. Yeah, if I toss you up there, can
you mold your body into those.
Speaker 3: Will I do everything that Moon is trying to fix
for us here? If you try and sneak out, is
that what you're trying to do? We should not do that.
Speaker 5: They never told us not to leave.
Speaker 3: Will I said, you're coming into custody. Stay right there?
Speaker 5: Are who are they talking to here? I didn't see him,
all of us as in all of us humanoids?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 3: Everyone?
Speaker 1: Great?
Speaker 5: All right? You ready to get up there?
Speaker 4: Listen, Just because I'm an amorphous individual doesn't mean I'm
gonna go slipping into anything that just because you ask
me to.
Speaker 5: You're trying to tell me if you have the chance
to slip into any crack you want to, you're not
going to do it. No less you say, please, please,
don't don't trouble. I'm not asking both to escape. I'm
asking him to listen to see if he here's anything.
Speaker 4: I don't like trouble.
Speaker 5: But you just think, let's just stick a pseudo pot out.
That's all you gotta do. Let us know what's going on.
Speaker 4: Okay, k L.
Speaker 5: I think you take four? Dammit, do you.
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure I bounced, but I don't know. I've
never really tried to great.
Speaker 5: I'm going to toss him up there.
Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough, you sort of toss him up to
the window.
Speaker 4: Careful. I feel like a water balloon.
Speaker 5: But we have to do a stick slip part of
yourself outside appropriate but that is and listen I can hear,
so do you have it? I don't even anymore, but.
Speaker 4: My parts are appropriate parts, and that's very offensive.
Speaker 3: While they are doing this, I will keep an eye
on the door.
Speaker 5: They were not breaking any rules. By listening.
Speaker 3: They might take it the wrong way.
Speaker 5: I'll just make sure you're flat up against it in
that way. If they you can hear that, they come.
Speaker 4: Huh, okay, I'm going to pass my eye into a
pseudopod and then try and like a periscope the pseudopod
through the gap.
Speaker 1: Give mean double insight.
Speaker 4: Double insight. Oh, it's so so amazing. I'm amazing at
insight checks totally.
Speaker 7: How do I do that?
Speaker 1: Just roll a check well.
Speaker 2: Check.
Speaker 4: Inside inside? Okay, fabtastic.
Speaker 1: Eight an eight, So uh you can see outside and
I think, uh, I think you see you can probably
get like a decent view of the the airship docks.
You can see that there is a little bit of
a commotion on the airship docks right now. You can
see that there are several squads of uniformed officers.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: From their uniforms, you can tell that.
Speaker 5: They are probably the.
Speaker 1: Coogans SkyWatch. You're not entirely sure, but they've formed. This
is sort of like two groups while while you were looking.
And you can see that there is an airship that
is parked there on the dock right now. There's it
looks like more and more of these squads are starting
to march up. They appear that to be different in
different dress. Immediately you recognize, ah, the look of the
Millifax military. It's a very stark sort of contrast. Coga
has a lot of golds and blues and whites. The
Millifax military you can tell has sort of like reds
and black acts and and uh sometimes some fire accents
on their on their garments. There's a lot of military
up there. It would probably be like, um, hard for
you to count, but you can assume that there's several
hundred of different military like personnel up on that dock.
Speaker 4: And it's a lot of people outside. I want to say,
a couple of hundred different colors like army people. Army
people likely safer in here. I don't think the war
was over. No, maybe they're they're back from the war.
Speaker 3: Did the colors resemble that of Coca? Maybe they're warriors
from here.
Speaker 4: Uh, some of them were like maybe half through the half.
I'm not so sure. I see.
Speaker 3: That is concerning.
Speaker 4: Mm hmmm, well, I mean, I suppose the war's over now.
So as long as we're green, he'll be fine. Right.
Although they did seem kind of mad, we weren't able
to help. Although that's not really true. We didn't help
a little bit. Once we showed up, we killed some things,
it's true, and goodness, I kicked the bodies overboard.
Speaker 3: I cover his mouth. Don't don't do not say that again.
While we're here.
Speaker 4: She's scary.
Speaker 5: Mm hmm.
Speaker 4: Okay, I have a nose, you know, I'm I'm not
sliding like Okay, fine, I take offense to that.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry. You can come down now, come on, I'll
catch you.
Speaker 4: Are you sure?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 4: You catch me?
Speaker 5: It's long, yes, as long as you really yes, come
come at a move? No? No?
Speaker 4: No, your hands right?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 5: What else I'm gonna catch you with?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 5: Come on?
Speaker 4: Count count down? One?
Speaker 5: Wait?
Speaker 4: Did we start a three?
Speaker 6: Oh? Good?
Speaker 4: A zero?
Speaker 5: Just go on, go, just say go.
Speaker 1: There is a knock on the door, and enders please
make a dex An insight check for me.
Speaker 5: Oh my god? Is that the open chain check? Dex
and insight.
Speaker 1: Dex and insight. Yeah. Your attention immediately turns to the
door as you hear the knock, and both lance on
the floor.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 4: I'll never trust you ever again.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry. I was distructed some of us coming natural instincts.
Speaker 1: Hello, I have your food and drink.
Speaker 3: Oh is there any update on what is to be
done with us?
Speaker 1: I am not sure.
Speaker 3: Could could you maybe let your superiors know? Maybe we
could we could show them what does this person look like?
Speaker 1: This person is wearing very different attire than the SkyWatch
that you saw. It is quite clear that this person
is some kind of civilian or worker here at the
Yielded Hall. They are wearing. You can see it's still
nice clothing, but it's completely different than the the uniforms
that you've seen the SkyWatch wearing. I think they they're
probably about average height, dark hair, her uh, dark skin,
like warm eyes they have. She she has like a
I imagine probably just like a tray with some drinks
and some some food and stuff on it.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm going to slide up to her. I'm gonna say,
would you be so dead to tell us what's actually
going on out there? Because we are very worried in
for our friend Moon, and I would like to use
a fabulation. Yes, I would like to use a fabulous
point and use my trait of charming.
Speaker 1: Okay, in what way are you making a roll trying
to persuade this person?
Speaker 5: I mean, if I use a fabul plane, Okay, I'll
just out yeah. Sure, I'm trying to get information out
and I'm trying to charm them.
Speaker 1: Sure, So just to just to let everybody know how
you can spend your fabula points basically you can alter
the current situation to your advantage in some way by
modifying or adding elements. You can you can alter the
story here, and I would I would count this as that,
but I just wanted to see how you would how
you were going to do it. You can alter an
existing element or add a new element with one with
the cost of one fabula point. You can evoke a bond,
basically adding the bond strength to some sort of check.
You can invoke a trait which will allow you to
reroll dice during a check. And these three all costs
one fabula point. Or if you have a skill that
uses fabula points, it will tell you how much that costs.
Speaker 5: It's my identity and it's datting sorry, which is even out.
Speaker 1: Actually, so that's a trait that would be that would
be something to help you reroll the die, okay, or
we can say that this is altering the story. But
to me it sounded like you were trying to sort
of like persuade this person.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, so I can make a roll with the
roads bad, I can use solitary Okay, let's do that.
It really appreciates you bringing us this lovely it's a
bread of water or something. What is it?
Speaker 1: It would probably be it would actually be probably something
pretty nice. I would imagine it would be some kind
of stew like something warm. Oh, it's it's quite a
bit drafty in here. In this room in particular, not
so much, but the rest of the Gilded Hall. There's
a lot of like open windows, and this place is
effectively on top of a mountain, so there's like a
very brisk, cold air that comes through here, so people
are generally bundled up pretty well.
Speaker 5: Okay, thank you for bringing us a some warm meal.
And I would really love to know what's going on
out there. Our friend Moon is in a little stress. Yeah,
we're worried. Yeah, the Savior.
Speaker 1: Please make me an insight willpower.
Speaker 3: I think yep, that's for social roles.
Speaker 5: Hi, sa hey, I'm pretty sure not to reroll it.
Speaker 1: Okay, and it's the sixth You want to reroll that,
you can spend a fabulous point and we will invoke
your trait of charming.
Speaker 5: Okay, invoke trait reroll and it's dashing, sound dashing, and
then I need to click open ease.
Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, it's right, she says. I really don't know much.
There's a lot of talk of the war being over,
the Savior. The Savior is meeting in the peace talks
with the rest of the leaders.
Speaker 5: Ah, okay, thank you, that's that's good to know. I
just want to make sure she's safe.
Speaker 1: I was merely sent here to give you some food
and water and to check on you.
Speaker 5: Yes, and you did a lovely job. Thank you.
Speaker 3: Do you answer directly to anyone in particular? Of course,
listen your boss. Are they someone of influence here or
are they a boss of you? But they have a
boss of them?
Speaker 1: M well, m m, I work with the major domo here.
It's well, mister Thamir al Khali.
Speaker 3: I was so I understand our situation here, and apparently
there is some sort of controversy with the fact that
we are heroes of some sort and.
Speaker 1: You are heroes.
Speaker 5: I had heard, Oh I.
Speaker 1: Do there is something strange about you?
Speaker 4: What's a hero?
Speaker 3: My point is that I have a way to show
them that that we're telling the truth.
Speaker 5: I have a way. Indeed, oh, she has a way.
Speaker 1: I can. I can speak with him, but I don't
know if he will speak with you. Everything is rather
chaotic right now. You must understand, all the leaders here
are negotiating peace talks the war. We believe the war
is over.
Speaker 5: I'll grab her hand and say, look, I'm sorry. We
probably were putting a little bit too much pressure on you.
We're just concerned and you did a lovely job explaining yourself.
If you would like to talk to them, no promises,
if it's not going to put you in any danger,
but if you can, that'd be great. We're not bad people.
We're just concerned, but we are staying. But we haven't
done anything out of the ordinary.
Speaker 1: So I'm sorry. It's not my place, but where have
you been?
Speaker 3: We can show whoever is in charge. I can show.
Speaker 5: Them if it makes you feel better. How do I
say this? We just got out of our unknown imprisonment today.
Speaker 4: We were trapped and saved us.
Speaker 5: We don't even know if we were alive or dead.
It's just a woke like this. We're just as confused
as you are. And believe me, if we could be
have been here, you would have.
Speaker 3: A ritual, is what I am proposing. I'm yes, I'm
a spiritist of some skill, and I can I can
utilize a ritual in order to share my memories. I
think can tell that to your boss if that would
be all right? If you can.
Speaker 1: Iris, please initiate a group check. I think let's get
a group check. This is going to be insight and will.
Speaker 4: Alrighty, and she's doing this. I'm going to roll onto
that food that was given to us and just roll
onto it.
Speaker 5: And the whole things.
Speaker 1: Difficulty ten, yes, PALTI ten.
Speaker 4: The whole thing, spoons and all.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 1: Here's a question for you while there, while everybody's rolling here, Bo,
do you taste anything?
Speaker 5: Hmmm?
Speaker 4: Do I taste anything? Here's the question for you, game master.
Do I taste anything?
Speaker 5: That's up to you?
Speaker 1: No Ah?
Speaker 5: Got that?
Speaker 4: What's it meant to be?
Speaker 1: The food is stew?
Speaker 4: Maybe you should have kept it cooking. It tastes like nothing.
It's like water.
Speaker 5: Oh what does it time to be blonding? Is it
time to be in favor of ourselves as well?
Speaker 4: Nothing but blunt, squishy? I look after the person again,
a kind of roll, so my eyes look at them.
What do slimes eat?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Oh, I've never encountered its line.
Speaker 5: Before we used to kill them. They would pick up
anything and everything on the ground, So I don't know
if you're the same.
Speaker 1: Boa, I believe you are also part of this check
please support the group check okay and IRUs eighteen success.
I will bring it up.
Speaker 4: What the cutlery?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to mister al Khalide, so very strange.
Speaker 3: And what is your name?
Speaker 5: I marry him?
Speaker 3: I am Iris And I stick out a hand.
Speaker 5: How let go of us? Hm hmm.
Speaker 1: She looks at your hand and sort of very gingerly
sort of shakes. I guess hm.
Speaker 5: Trapped. Yes, Kah couldn't Breathe didn't hear anything, know anything.
Apparently we're there for well ten years from what we
know what moon Is told us the entire war. Yeah,
I mean we would like to know war just as
much as.
Speaker 3: You see the thing we were encapsulated in. At least
my friends were. I think I was too. It was
some sort of a red crystal. Are you anything about those?
Speaker 1: The only red crystal that I know of is Emberstone.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's gonna tell you not say anything.
Speaker 1: Mhmm. Interesting, that's what the peace talks are about, whole war.
Speaker 4: Who's the baddies?
Speaker 3: Centhuris probably wear fingers.
Speaker 5: You must be going right, it's gonna worry you're taking
too long? Yes?
Speaker 4: Can I get more food?
Speaker 5: I've had enough, though, how do you know to it
in all of it?
Speaker 1: She sort of nods her head. She looks, She looks
very con fused, and closes the door.
Speaker 5: I ris too much. See, all I've been hearing is
that that name of that that crystal, over and over again.
I figured that was a touchy subject.
Speaker 3: Well now we know, and it's from someone general, not
from some leader, not from someone who might lie to us.
Speaker 5: Have a servants tend to overreact.
Speaker 3: That is fine.
Speaker 5: She was terrified the point.
Speaker 3: Okay, So the reason that I suggested a ritual, which
is why I wanted to speak up in the first place,
is because spiritual rituals of spiritism, right, they are fixated
on one's soul, one's heart. It'll be a great way
to convince them, I think.
Speaker 5: Personally, yes, talking to somebody who understands maybe, but a
seven that doesn't understand who we are, what we are,
what we do, scare them.
Speaker 4: That's why you always pick the renegade choice. The choice
is that the one that makes you a badass seem cool.
No one ever picks it, and then you have to
go looking for the you know, for people who choose it.
And then you go, oh, I should have done that
instead of being the good guy, because the end of
the day, you get what you want and you're cool.
Renegade choice, renegade choice.
Speaker 5: I don't think so I keep the bodies over the airshit,
renegade choice. There we go.
Speaker 3: That was more psychotic than anything, but sure, I was.
Speaker 5: Very thought you would have got caught. Couldn't explain anything
about this dead bodies being on board. They didn't know
who we are.
Speaker 3: Pick thinking we should have probably gotten rid of them
before we left. Thinking on it.
Speaker 5: Now, it means comrades true.
Speaker 4: We kind of thought that she was fond of them,
the same way she was fond of that giant broccoli,
but not really. She was like, Oh, it's okay, they're
my crew. Just throw them overboard. I trust her.
Speaker 5: Where's the ruling? Nothing?
Speaker 3: Gregory? Greg?
Speaker 5: Gregory his name?
Speaker 3: I mean that's the normally the shortened version of Greg.
Is it not.
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: I think maybe.
Speaker 5: I'm tired of being in you. I kind of want
to get out. So which renegade choice. I'm going to
see what the lock is made out of.
Speaker 1: Uh, you go to open the door, I'm.
Speaker 5: Just going to not open the door. I'm going to
view to see if it's locked in the first place.
Speaker 1: Sure it is not locked.
Speaker 5: We huh, what was right? Renegade choice? They opened the door.
Speaker 1: Opened the door, you can there's two skyguard just outside
the door.
Speaker 5: Hi.
Speaker 1: One of them. They do like a sharp turn, like
ninety degree military turn. You're like, and they say.
Speaker 4: My food.
Speaker 1: Is there a problem?
Speaker 5: It's a little stuff in there. I just wanted to
smell the air out here. We had we had steward there.
But are slime ate at all? You know?
Speaker 1: Is that all? You're hungry?
Speaker 5: No, no trouble, No trouble, no trouble at all. We're
friends of Moon if you didn't know. And I'm and
we're deeply worried about it.
Speaker 1: And the Savior is attending important business.
Speaker 5: Great, I have some very important business to attend very soon.
And if I don't intend it, it might come out.
Is there a place where we can I don't know,
dispelled liquids.
Speaker 1: They look at each other, Come with me, thank.
Speaker 5: You, And I look back at iris and bow and
I wink.
Speaker 4: You see me, kind of like prove on one side.
Because I can't wink.
Speaker 3: I'll just truck and mouth good luck.
Speaker 1: So one of the guards begins to lead enters off.
The door closes.
Speaker 4: Boy me next, I guess how does slimes you see
me think for a second, huh do you.
Speaker 3: Have to.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if I would know?
Speaker 3: Oh what if I pop?
Speaker 4: What if I pop? Iris?
Speaker 3: I think so? Maybe are you sure?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 3: No, I would have to see you pop first.
Speaker 4: You can't put me back inside my essence, Iris, Well.
Speaker 3: Spiritism is sort of a man manipulation of the soul
as well. I could probably maybe help me.
Speaker 4: Probably I need to know.
Speaker 3: Well, try not to pop.
Speaker 4: Then you're gonna make me panic, eat and then pop sooner.
Speaker 3: Please don't pop.
Speaker 4: I don't know if I can.
Speaker 5: Not what what?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: It follow enders enders. You're being led down this hall.
As you look around, various military personnel march along the hall.
You can see the sky Guard emblems everywhere. I mean,
this place is stunningly beautiful, Like everything is super clean,
super well maintained, shiny and lush furniture, lush tapestries, giant windows,
a lot of open sort of arched airflow moving through here.
There's beautiful like stained glass that shows a picture in
the stained glass, and also when the light comes through,
it's almost like another picture that shines through depending on
the time.
Speaker 7: Of the day.
Speaker 5: Fine architectsure you have here? How long you been here?
Serving as a big, strong god? I am a member
of the SkyWatch, proud nimb of the SkyWatch. Seems like
a very important job. You seem to do it very well.
Speaker 1: You may relieve yourself in there.
Speaker 5: On the floor.
Speaker 1: Is that what you do when where you are from?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: I meant a room.
Speaker 5: Oh okay, see, funny thing right, what if you were
what if you just woke up from like a I
don't know what's in your nap and you don't know
what thing to use cause you show me not how
to use it? Silly where to you?
Speaker 1: I'm not going to hold it if that's what you're asking.
Speaker 5: No, I don't need you to do that. I don't
forget that. I just need to know what device. There's
so many devices in here.
Speaker 1: Opens the door effectively, you see the equivalent of a
normal bathroom.
Speaker 5: I expect it more.
Speaker 1: A toilet has like a large tank above it, and
there's like a pull handle.
Speaker 5: Oh that's interesting. It's not gonna come down on me,
all right. I think I got it from here. That's
just a moment. Yeah, you're gonna watch do I need
to No, no, unless, I mean unless you want to do things.
Run yeah, easy, and I'll look around.
Speaker 1: It's a super posh bathroom. It's like way too big.
There's like one toilet like it's it's there's a beautiful
sink like it's it's stunning. There's a mountain vista that
you can like, you can just look out onto this
beautiful mountain vista. It's like if you were in like
the the Alps or something like in Colorado, like just
this beautiful like a cloud is rolling past the window.
Speaker 5: Poop with a view. Amazing. Right, I'll try to do
some business and when I'm done, do I pull this thing.
I'll stand back and run to the sink. Thought I
was afraid it was gonna fold on me. Wash my hands.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmmmmmmmmuit water super cold mmm.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll walk out with wet ends.
Speaker 1: Yeah. There's definitely towels there, like for sure, I don't
use them. Yeah, it's like the towels are so nice
that they look like your mother would scream at you
for using them. Yeah, like those are.
Speaker 5: The cabbery into my head not to use them for
some reason, insaid, I packed my pants. I'm done. I
think thank you, and I'll walk out. But whiles I'm walking,
I'm trying to listen in here about as much as
I can. If it's rustling and bustling going on, it's
somebody's bound to say something. Sarge Military, Okay, it's good
to know. So long have you been seven here? Two years?
Two years? I would think you would be a general.
But now because you're so you know, hoity toity what
you're so? Uh? I don't know. You just seem like
a general to me, not godsman. Yeah, you have more
from you.
Speaker 1: I am no general.
Speaker 5: Why is that?
Speaker 1: I have no interest in sitting behind the desk?
Speaker 5: Oh? Do you like to be out in the front lines? Eh?
That is correct? A captain? Then you know. I knew
you had captain Aura too, but I went with general
to be safe because you were inside and not not there.
You're probably a good reason why this war was going well. Huh.
Speaker 1: I am a weapon master. I have no such need for.
Speaker 5: Auras amazing weapon master. I looked into that once. I
was really good with bows and magic. I have ever seen
magic done. Oh you know what I can do for you?
I can do you a big favor, making even better
at your job. If you do something for me and
it's not worry, it's not nothing bad. It puts you
in a bad name. It actually enhanced you. Okay, fine,
you look like the type of person I need to
show fast.
Speaker 1: If you begin to cast magic, I will be forced
to knock you unconscious and take you back to the room.
Speaker 5: That's offensive magic, but the magic I want to cast.
Speaker 1: Please cast no magic. This rule is not only for you,
but everyone here at the Gilded Hall. I must speak.
Are peace talks?
Speaker 5: Oh I see peace talk?
Speaker 1: Scotch you if you're magic for yourself?
Speaker 5: So if I say, if I was to, I don't know,
enchant your blade there to be even more powerful. That's
too much of magic, right, I mean you wouldn't want
to be stronger, wouldn't you. You're already strong enough.
Speaker 9: Never mind, Please make an insight and I think just
an insight check double insight, just insight.
Speaker 1: Trying to listen while you're bullshitting insight insight? Yes, okay,
I think you hear something along the lines of you
hear that there's some chatter about the Savior being in
the peace talks, that the Dragon empresses here. You hear
that the High technocrat of some Tharis is here. You
hear that many of the higher ups from all over
Regalia are at this or at these peace talks. People
are talking about the end of the war. And there's
a sort of energy that's happening here. Right. It's it's hope,
I think, is what you're kind of experiencing. There is
one thing now that you hear that probably set you
a little on edge, and you do here. You do
hear people talking about the storm veil rift and that
it doesn't look like it's changed.
Speaker 5: All right. Oh, I never got your name.
Speaker 1: That's because I didn't give it.
Speaker 5: That's the first part of being friendly.
Speaker 1: The assumption that I am trying to be friendly. Your
room is here, Wow, we're back already.
Speaker 5: Well, did you go ahead with your spotless armor? And
I appreciate the walking down? Okay, hello iris? Oh how
did it?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 5: A kind of information, but.
Speaker 4: Say what what you said? You had news?
Speaker 5: Yes? Well, first of all, that a train is way
too big. It was the size of like a cafeteria.
It felt like maybe not as big, but still it's
like an auditorium. Okay, it's getting bigger with my exaggeration
with it felt like that and there was one toilet
in there. It was just a REGULARSS toilet, but it
had some kind of like fully thing a big mountain view, Matt,
And if you poop on that toilet and look at
the view, I can only imagine how amazing it would be.
I get a lot of thoughts out back there.
Speaker 3: I think we stop talking about excrement because Bo was
having a little bit of a meltdown just a moment ago.
You reminded you of that.
Speaker 8: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I heard that slimes do poop, at
least now. They do absorb armor and stuff, and then
they do something within their body and some that comes out.
But I then what happens, Well, travelers typically sell it.
It's like a coffeting material or some sort. I don't
know what it's called. It's just some shiny stuff that
comes out. You haven't had that yet. So maybe it's.
Speaker 4: Different from you, whatever you do do more salmon am
I I don't think so.
Speaker 5: I think it's just whatever you comes out of you.
Speaker 3: Wait, salmon die after they poop.
Speaker 5: I don't know. Okay, Okay, important stuff, right, right, yes, okay,
So the hall is beautiful, all right, it's it's got
like these big stained glasses, and there's all these into ways,
lots of military people walking around. Everyone's all stuck up
something stuck way up his ass outside. But you know,
at the end of the day, I did hear. Stuff
that's going on here is pretty damn serious. There's a
lot of people here, a lot of leaders from all
over that dealt with the water, and now they're trying
to figure out what the hell to do. So in
my little mind, I put together the cogs were wheeling.
I was saying that there's one of figure out who's
in control of what and what powers may be and
what and how to maintain peace around here. Pretty cool, right, Yeah,
that's really nice. That Moon is a part of that.
But here's the kicker. Mm that big as storm out
there that we passed by.
Speaker 3: Who was it that Moon called it some sort of rift, Yeah,
storm veil with something like that storm field WFT correct.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, apparently it hasn't changed. So whatever the hell
they did didn't fix anything. That's scary because if it
gets bigger, you don't know what it's doing. And I
don't think anybody that even if we go there, maybe
they never came back. I don't know. There's a whole
uproar about it, so I can only imagine that they're
all discussing who controls what and figures out what and where.
Maybe there's some back and forth. I don't know, but
that's probably why there's so tense around here.
Speaker 3: It's also probably why it's taking so long.
Speaker 5: Are you going to say, Ball, why also mad at us? Then?
Speaker 4: In that case, I mean, while we locked up and
not in there with.
Speaker 5: Them, Well, apparently if we were here when all this
stuff started, things would have been different. They think, hmmm,
I don't know. I was always under assumption that things
happened for a reason.
Speaker 3: But they look to Moon as some sort of savior, right.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm believing if I put two and two together,
Moon is like us, but came when she was supposed
to and we did right.
Speaker 4: I wonder what other titles she has because she said
right and then she chose savior, and that's why they
keep calling her that computer hud menu interface.
Speaker 1: The interface appears before both of.
Speaker 4: You, Oh, display titles.
Speaker 5: It's so cool you.
Speaker 1: See your title appear. It says, hero, we have the
one side.
Speaker 5: The one thing.
Speaker 4: I'm looking for a title list is do I have
the one title?
Speaker 1: You only have the one title?
Speaker 4: Huh?
Speaker 5: I don't remember being a hero. I you know, I
didn't sign up for this.
Speaker 1: For you enders. It says hero enders.
Speaker 5: Well, if you read that kind of weirdly, it sounds
like IM into heroes. Okay, so what do we do?
Speaker 3: I mean we there's not much we can do. This
place is very heavily guarded. Right.
Speaker 5: The door's open, yes, but there are guards, which means
that they trust us somewhat.
Speaker 3: There are peace talks going on. You know what you
have disturb the piece.
Speaker 5: My dashing charms and good looks didn't work out there
because this guy has a very large Albert stuck way
up in him. But you, my dear, your beautiful gorgeousness,
probably sway the words of this man and to remove
that helmet from his oss. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: Who is it?
Speaker 5: I mean, come in.
Speaker 1: Entering you see a hmmm, a sort of stern looking man.
They are wearing probably I would imagine no military uniform,
but they're impeccably well dressed, very clean looking. They have
a sash across going diagonally and you can see several
there's several like pins that are in the sash. They're older,
probably in there, like late fifties. Brown skin, I think
you can see like gold hair with streaks of white
in it, silver eyes.
Speaker 5: It looks iris.
Speaker 3: I straightened up.
Speaker 1: Yes, hello, mister Thamir al Khalid ship.
Speaker 3: I have my wristlet a landrath. I assume that you're
can your worker. I looked at the others. Your worker
filled you in on on my proposal.
Speaker 1: Mariam told me that you were interested in speaking with
me and mentioned something about a ritual.
Speaker 5: Yes, Iris, your lovely ritual. Yes, mind coming all the
way in, sir oh, by the way, I think we
should stop with plesgendies.
Speaker 1: First, because follows Samir in the stuck up ass god
as well. Yeah, probably I'm enders.
Speaker 5: And these is the long name she gave you. And
bo Hi and we mean no harm. We are very confused,
just like you are. But she has a way of
probably making this make sense if you're willing now. I
obviously don't have weapons on me because you took it
all so and bo is just squishy. We're going to
back to the wall and stand right where your gods
can see us while she does this, because she's gonna
see alrighty and I guess, yeah, oh, just roll right here.
I'll pick them up and put them on the Comfye
is there like what is there to sit on? Cal to?
Speaker 1: Is thisrates? There's sort of like yeah, there's some like
cots that have just some basic sort of bedding on them,
and this is a supply room of sorts, so there's
probably like I imagine that there are some chairs and
things here. There's probably some like blankets and things like
that that are lying around.
Speaker 5: Room a room. Okay, I'll put on something like soft
and I'll sit on the grate, one leg up.
Speaker 3: All right, I guess I remain standing for a moment
because I'm a little bit scared. Should should I as.
Speaker 1: Well have a seat?
Speaker 5: Of course?
Speaker 9: Da you.
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 1: Four new heroes.
Speaker 3: Or so?
Speaker 1: You claim?
Speaker 5: We never claimed it.
Speaker 1: Level six?
Speaker 5: I see.
Speaker 3: We we originally were much higher level, but we found
ourselves awakening today just hours ago, much lower than that.
Speaker 1: Quite a coincidence. The end of the war, you show up.
Speaker 4: We were saved by a moon the savior.
Speaker 5: Where are you? Yeah, we were trapped apparently in these
ember crystals for ten years.
Speaker 1: You were trapped in Emberstone.
Speaker 5: Mberstone. There we go. That's the word. Keep hearing over
and over again. Well, yeah, I came out.
Speaker 1: It's like a buff How exactly were you trapped in
Emberstone some sort of mage.
Speaker 5: That's a good question. We would like to know ourselves.
All I remember is that we were somewhere else. There
was red lights, crystals everywhere, breathing, stop sound, stop this self.
Imagine yourself underwater for a long period of time and
everything goes absolutely silent, and everything you knew, everything you
thought you knew, was gone. And then you come to
and you're in the middle of a battle zone. That's
the gist of it. So all we know.
Speaker 4: Hi, have you seen a slimee before?
Speaker 1: Of course I've seen a slimee before. I've killed many.
Speaker 4: Right, Well you see, okay.
Speaker 1: Of course that was years ago. Wonder if I'm still
able to do it?
Speaker 3: If this will not be necessary?
Speaker 5: No, no, no, I will lock eyes with this person
and say, is that not right? You know?
Speaker 4: I'm a hero'slime?
Speaker 5: Why are you really here? A moon brought us. We
don't want to be here, especially in this room. We
want to be by our friend Moon. I haven't seen
it in a long time.
Speaker 1: You suggest that you're not here to disturb the peace.
Speaker 5: Talks. Now, I went into your perfect bathroom and used
the bathroom, and that's the door is unlocked. If we
were here at the Stoic.
Speaker 1: Hasn't been a level six hero in more years than
I can remember.
Speaker 5: Wait a minute, you're a hero?
Speaker 1: No, okay, surely since that I am not a hero.
Speaker 5: I don't know what I'm sincing right here, but hostility.
Speaker 3: Why don't we all relax and just speak plainly? Yes?
Without is this aggression? It is unnecessary.
Speaker 5: I'm not aggressive.
Speaker 4: I'm just me what level is he? I look at
him like I look to where I think his the
floating name would be.
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, go ahead and give me an insight. Uh,
an insight? I think okay, nine, it just says question
mark for you.
Speaker 5: Huh. I think he can shut us probably well, sir,
I'll say it like this, Okay, Iris has a way
showing you some things. I think, but I know there's
a rule and I look at ours to not cast
anything here.
Speaker 3: Indeed, that is why I reached out in order to
ask about it, so that maybe you can propose it,
so that we can show you. I am sure you're
familiar with spiritists and the rituals that we are able
to do.
Speaker 1: I am the major Domo of the Gilded Hall of Coca.
We have many spiritists on staff, prepared for most eventualities today.
But one thing that we did not expect would be
to receive new heroes. Heroes only show up times of
great calamity, and.
Speaker 5: You seem to have one on your hands. I don't know.
Speaker 1: If you look, what do you know about that?
Speaker 5: Well, we were on airship flying in I happened to
look out and say, Wow, the world is beautiful except
that large drift right there. What the hell is that moon?
And she was like, well, that's scary, and it seems
to me I may have overheard that that thing has
it changed and may get bigger if I'm wrong. So
having heroes here might be a good thing. I don't
know how we're gonna help, but we can probably figure
it out together. Having us locked in this room and
being mean to us doesn't seem the right pause. We
are just as concerned as you are.
Speaker 1: Please roll me an insight and willpower and anybody so
I'm gonna put I'm gonna put enders in charge of
this one, and if anybody else would like to support,
might I might?
Speaker 3: I just say that I tried to start the conversation
and try. Yeah, yeah, that's your call. Good luck unders
What can I say.
Speaker 5: This in my ithentity to start a.
Speaker 3: Group check at the end of it is when we
add your strongest bond, you will get a place. You
will get a plus.
Speaker 5: One and my strongest mod bond. Oh my bond.
Speaker 3: Yes, so you don't have to add it. No. Wait,
I think you add it to yours when you roll,
and if it doesn't pop up, it's a plus.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I just did the regular group check right there.
Speaker 3: So I do not roll the bond. You do fifteen success.
Speaker 4: I suppose I'm helping, so five failure.
Speaker 5: I'm slim?
Speaker 3: Are you?
Speaker 5: So I clicked this? Wait, says leader cannot also support
support owner.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to roll on the window itself.
Speaker 5: Ah, I don't see where I can. Oh, I add
my wa It didn't it worked. It didn't let me out.
Speaker 3: So you added the bond excellent, didn't let me.
Speaker 1: There is a plus two there, So this will be
a fourteen because I think rue has probably just been
very distant and quiet while this is going on a
bit o.
Speaker 3: Well, you add the bond to it, so it is
technically a plus.
Speaker 1: Two, but this is Rue as well as BO.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he ruled. He ruled a thirteen and you
add who one for each support. So that's fun.
Speaker 1: I'm saying that Rue isn't really supporting right now, That's
what I'm saying, right But he got.
Speaker 3: A success from me. And then there's the bond added
onto the group check, so it is a fifteen.
Speaker 1: Okay, mm hmm, because I see one from Rue and
one from BOW when I hover over.
Speaker 3: Yes, but BO failed, I was a success, and then
you add the bond on top of it, which is
not added already.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, ye.
Speaker 3: Sorry, I just want to make sure that we're getting
it right, still learning it.
Speaker 1: So the mirror says, this is all very interesting. I
don't know if I believe what you say. We may
be willing to allow you to perform a ritual, but
we will do no such thing.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 1: Magic is forbidden while the peace talks are taking place.
Speaker 3: Understood, that is, that is absolutely fine, And I do
not propose this in order to cause any sort of
issues or anything of the sort. I think. I think
it is important for you to see the truth of
our hearts.
Speaker 1: And to know that.
Speaker 3: We would have been there if we could have.
Speaker 1: Many of us have lost family in this war.
Speaker 5: Mmm, myself included.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I hope what you say is true, because
there many people.
Speaker 2: I will judge you harshly if you are lying.
Speaker 5: Understand not to be rude, but we may have lost
a lot as well. We have no idea what happened
to whatever world we came from.
Speaker 1: Now you claim that you are from a different world.
Speaker 5: If you're trapped. If you were a trapped in Mberstone,
would you know where the hell that you came from? Either?
Probably not? Oh what was that?
Speaker 4: Oh just I'm hungry? I think, yeah.
Speaker 5: Same.
Speaker 1: We are lucky that you arrived with the same here,
because if you did not, I cannot guarantee that my
men wouldn't have killed you on site.
Speaker 6: The mere.
Speaker 10: Excuse me, but I don't think you have any right
to talk to my friends like this.
Speaker 1: Oh, thank you, Savior Moon.
Speaker 6: The peace talks are coming to a resignation at this point.
I think that it would be best that you leave
them in my care.
Speaker 1: It is good to see you again, Savior, and you
I am sorry if I was harsh with your friends.
Please understand, this is a trying time.
Speaker 4: I know a lot ji us.
Speaker 10: I'm glad you didn't follow any impulses, so thank you
for ensuring their safety. And I gestured to the door.
If you would please.
Speaker 1: Very well, Savior, we'll check out on your friends soup.
Speaker 5: I'll head nod to the one with the Halbert up
his ass.
Speaker 4: Thank you for listening to us, Moon, Thank you here.
Do you have any food?
Speaker 1: Turns walks out. There's one last glance that he has
over his shoulder. Are they making an announcement soon, Savior?
Speaker 10: Yes, most of us. I think believe is for the best.
Speaker 5: Hello, food, and it's good to hear.
Speaker 10: Again.
Speaker 6: Thank you for taking care of these other heroes. They
deserve your respect. And one of them is very hungry,
so so happy.
Speaker 5: All of us actually ate everything.
Speaker 1: I will see that more food is brought here immediately.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness. Ahead, we're up here with all this
beautiful air and everyone is so stuck up.
Speaker 6: I'm so sorry. I didn't think that they would treat
you like this. I really I really had no idea.
Speaker 5: And God asked to hold my thing while I used
the bathroom.
Speaker 10: Oh well, some of us are very direct around here.
Speaker 5: He asked if you wanted me to have him molded,
and I was like, no, why would I want that anyway?
What the hell is going on? Moon?
Speaker 6: Well, at this point we have some peace talks that
are being worked out, as I'm sure you've heard, and
we're looking at having the emberstone only be used in
certain amounts, which I have a bad feeling about. If
I'm going to be honest, and I don't want that
to leave this room. Every country is going to send
a representative to ensure that they're only using their given amount,
and I could see this being very bad. I think
that a lot of people are going to go to
great lengths to use this when they shouldn't be. And
it's a little well, it's tense, is all I'll say.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think also it is worth bringing up
to you. We spoke to a a woman named Miriam.
She brought us our food and she mentioned that you
only read Chris Still said she knows of that are
the ember crystals or the emberstone? Right? M M. When
we awoke, we we were surrounded by red crystal.
Speaker 1: In yes.
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know if I was in it, but
it was all around me.
Speaker 10: Room within it.
Speaker 6: I seem to recall also having something to do with
with red crystal. It's pretty hazy, but I wonder if
it's some part of the outside of the of the rift.
Speaker 1: So sorry to interrupt. Definitely did not have a red crystal.
Speaker 10: I did not have a crystal.
Speaker 6: And I think that's bizarre because it's such a limited resource.
So that to think that you all arrived with a
case of it of your own, like you're in a
diamond or something.
Speaker 5: Should have pocketed all.
Speaker 4: Not to be that guy or slide, not to be
that slime. Well I am that slime. So yeah, I'll
just come out with it. What if they turn on
you because they hate us?
Speaker 5: Who could just kill him?
Speaker 6: That is actually, unfortunately somewhat closer to reality than that.
But I wouldn't want to, and I certainly would not
want to leave anyone disappointed. But I know what you're saying, bo,
and I also know you're all very hungry. Yes, they
should be bringing food here soon, they're prompt.
Speaker 5: So how do we talk to someone of importance besides
that one that was just here? Because I don't want
to spend our whole journey or whatever this is stuck
in a room like this. I want to know what
the hell's going on and why people hate us. Man,
I get the whole.
Speaker 10: You should have been here, But I understand, I mean,
I don't understand.
Speaker 1: Began to hear sounds like a clattering boom boom boom
on shields, metal on shields, or a fist on shields.
So and a raucous roar begins to happen outside. Cheering begins.
You all hear the sounds of gunfire.
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna go see what that's all about. Moon,
we can follow you.
Speaker 10: No one makes us sound.
Speaker 1: Suddenly, cheering erupts throughout the halls outside.
Speaker 5: I guess they came out with the decision.
Speaker 6: Okay, I'm gonna open the door, and I'm gonna see
if I can see anything really quickly, stay right here.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, we're eating outside.
Speaker 5: Moon.
Speaker 1: The two guards just outside the door are actually hugging
each other. You can see the various military personnel cheering.
Speaker 4: Why's over in the stone wires?
Speaker 2: Over what?
Speaker 10: And I go out into the hallway. Wait, what what
do you mean saving the wall?
Speaker 3: But but.
Speaker 10: And I'm clearly flustered.
Speaker 3: I that's what.
Speaker 8: That's wonderful news.
Speaker 4: I what.
Speaker 1: Everyone in the hall begins to cheer loudly. You can
see everyone tries to, like put a hand on your shoulder.
Speaker 8: No, no, no, no, but but but what you Moon?
Oh no, my friends, you can you.
Speaker 1: As they begin to try, everyone tries to at some
point like put a hand on your cloak or like
on your shoulder or on your hand.
Speaker 10: Thank you, thank you, thanks no.
Speaker 1: I Everyone falls to their knees in the hall.
Speaker 5: Whow, I'm save your Moon.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 4: Yes, what a.
Speaker 5: Speech I you got. This reminds me of the time.
Speaker 6: And I stand there and I clear my throat a
little awkwardly. I am Moon, savior of the people. I
am here for your protection.
Speaker 5: And m h.
Speaker 8: I am a shield for your sword.
Speaker 5: And a protector.
Speaker 1: Slow rumbling of applause and stomping a.
Speaker 5: Foot, protector of the people.
Speaker 4: Hey, you're together.
Speaker 10: And I turned to ender slowly.
Speaker 5: I don't know what the hell I did right now.
They need to save you, man, Okay to the savior.
Speaker 4: Everyone, Yes, thank you.
Speaker 8: Thank you, thank you so much, thank you.
Speaker 1: Yes, lift you up?
Speaker 5: Oh my okay, okay.
Speaker 1: And they begin to throw Moon into the air.
Speaker 4: They don't kind of alize anything right.
Speaker 5: Right now, Let's just enjoy it.
Speaker 10: You see my hair kind of like who goes up
with a wind and down and my cape.
Speaker 6: Is like it was like its tossed up, like oh god, okay, s.
Speaker 8: Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 10: Okay, watch the cape.
Speaker 5: Watch the cape.
Speaker 1: What goes on for a few minutes as they celebrate
the end of the Emberstone War.
Speaker 10: You see me kind of slow motion just I have
no idea what's going on. But oh man, this is
a great time because everybody's happy.
Speaker 1: The moment.
Speaker 5: We enjoy this. But I am concerned.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, as long as we get a good
meal and chance to escape, I don't think it matters.
Speaker 5: We should just go out there and supporter. Yeah, good
way to get out of this room, and I'll slip out,
huh to moon saveer.
Speaker 1: Yes, everyone is invested in the moment. They barely notice you.
Speaker 4: Yep, we're not to leave then all we I'm gonna
just be at the doorway because I wasn't told to leave.
Speaker 3: The moon, and I'll poke out for behind folk to.
Speaker 5: Guys. Wait, hey, god, I I.
Speaker 6: Wanted to get food with you, and I'm just being
tossed into the air like so every time I like land,
I'm like, but I wanted to get.
Speaker 5: Food with you, and I know that when need to
get dinner still, and I'm also.
Speaker 6: Really hungry, So just wait for me, Okay, I promise
this will We've done so all right, We'll.
Speaker 5: Save you some Maybe I'm slipping into the crowd and
I don't know if moone will get a glimpse of me,
but I will. I'm going to find out what the
fuck is going on?
Speaker 1: Okay, Enders slips into the crowd. Enders, please give me
a dex and insight roll a check.
Speaker 5: Please dexon in.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's not too hard. Nobody's really focusing on you.
Everyone is selling, lebrating. You can see airships out of
the windows, firing cannons into the air, bursts of smoke,
various colors shining through the sky. What are you looking for?
Speaker 5: I'm looking for people of importance, maybe people that's been
in that talk and see if they're walking around of
anybody that's like advisors or something, and I want to
see how they react into moon they celebration.
Speaker 1: Sure, you sort of meld in with the crowd. It takes.
This place is sort of like a of a really
fancy fortress. As you're walking through, people are celebrating you
can see the guards that are posted at various like
entries and exits are probably meandering a little bit. It's
not too hard to get past them. There's a few
moments here where you do have to sort of be
a little sneaky to get past some of the entryways.
There's probably a you can see there is like a delegation.
There's a group of there's a group of people dressed
in like browns and reds. They look like dwarves. They
are sort of moving in lockstep march and you can
see that they are obviously guarding somebody.
Speaker 5: M hmm, yeah, I want to uh how are they
taking in the celebration. They look stern, like disappointed happy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, insight check piece of the insight h eight is
enough for this. Yeah, they look I think you can
tell they they are trying to take in what's happening,
but they're probably still they were ordered to escort this person.
What looks Yeah, so the the guards are escorting this person.
The guards look like they are taking everything in, uh,
the person themselves. They are.
Speaker 6: M h.
Speaker 5: Uh. They are.
Speaker 1: Uh wearing uh like goggles up on their head. They
have white hair in a bun. They appear to be.
I think they appear to be smiling. M hmm, what
you can tell. It looks like they're headed towards the
airship dock.
Speaker 5: Okay, when I see one of the I'm assuming and officials,
since they're so guarded, I will kind of go to
the shadows, not looking suspicious or anything, just kind of
leaning up against well without the I guess the other
people cheering, but kind of a little bit of ways
so I can see and I want to see the
rest of the officials leaving out and notice if there's
anyone there that's just kind of like almost suspicious, I mean,
not like happy about things, but almost fake. You know,
it's just like it weren't supporting what went on, and
it's kind of going along with it. My end goal
is to make sure that Moon is okay, that this
is not all just being pushed on her for some
bigger plot.
Speaker 1: I'm going to say with an eight, you have no idea,
You have no idea. It really it's just outward appearance.
These people are being escorted and guarded. You're getting glimpses
here and there. You know, you're you're you're really not
getting a lot from this, right, I'm.
Speaker 5: Not trying to be seen either. Okay, all right, I'm
not an immediate danger, and I'll slip back into the
crowd and that's where the others are.
Speaker 1: Okay, probably gone for for like five to ten minutes
or so. As you come back, you can see that,
like I imagine that you saw like Moon was sort
of brought towards the airship docks.
Speaker 5: You too, are you gonna come come on? But we
went told we were allowed to go go awhere, Moon's here,
so protect us. Let's go support her.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but she was there when they brought us.
Speaker 5: In and was not able to that's before everything was tense.
I went ahead and checked out everything, looked at the
officials and everything. Everybody seems to be in a cord happy,
which is weird. But yeah, everyone's happy. So let's go
support our friend. I don't think they're going to, like,
I don't know, arrest us again. We don't have our weapons.
We are pretty harmless. Moon is. There'll be fine. You
can stay here, but I'm gonna go.
Speaker 4: I look at I roll and look up to iris.
Speaker 8: Ice drug.
Speaker 5: I just say renegade options and I turn around and
I follow him. There you go, mhm.
Speaker 1: Does bow roll or bounce.
Speaker 5: Slides number three mm. That's how he gets rid of it.
Speaker 3: Yep, right, I'll follow, but I'm looking and seeing. If
any of the guards are around, erectly stop us.
Speaker 5: I'll turn around and guilty, I'll turn around and hold
a hand out. Come on together, renegade, renegade, all right,
lead out towards the air. Stuck.
Speaker 1: Okay, I think it's time for a group self check.
Let's get it. Yeah, let's get a dex An insight.
Speaker 3: Lead this wanton insight.
Speaker 5: Okay, check and I got it.
Speaker 3: Now. Remember you added plus one due to our relationship
on top of the bonuses you get.
Speaker 5: It's a great thing that you say. I don't know
how to add it because it won't let me.
Speaker 1: I think it just doesn't.
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't. Unfortunately we just.
Speaker 5: Did it last time. Last time.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know why it added route. Check on
it and see. We'll take a.
Speaker 5: Look at what it is to check it. I see
the group check thing right here, supporters says, you and.
Speaker 1: The button, we'll figure it out.
Speaker 5: YEA, pitch the button, kdoki.
Speaker 1: Okay, you rolled it two in a one. Okay.
Speaker 5: I'm holding her hand and I guess sure, both stays
to with us, sir, I'm not being stealthy. It was
never my plan. My thinking is if you look guilty,
you're guilty.
Speaker 1: So I think as you are trying to find as
you're trying to find Moon amongst the crowd and the
sort of meandering all about, you beginning to run into, uh,
probably the group that you did not want to run into,
which is going to be the delegations from the Cynthoris.
Speaker 5: Oh oh that's not a pretty one, all.
Speaker 1: Right, wearing various leathers and the things. You can see
the elves from Syntharish they tend to have a lot
of brass and such. They have a lot of you
can see like they have a lot of what appear
to be not ornamentation on their armor. It looks like
there's strange additions that have been made to their armor.
A lot of it is sort of patchwork, but it's
done in such a way that it looks threatening.
Speaker 5: Oh look, therese are people there want to say hi.
On No, that is not my people, amons being signed?
Speaker 3: No, I'm serious, I don't think that's no interesting Hi.
Speaker 1: As you approach you see the delegation sort of like
surrounding one individual cropped sort of shaved hair on the sides,
just sort of mostly shaves on the sides there. This
individual has silver hair, very short, sort of just combed back,
a little, very lean, sharp looking features, eyes hidden behind
circular goggles, and thin what appeared to be like glowing
slits on the front of the goggles.
Speaker 5: I mean, I thought your people were atle bit more
like Nope, not as techy.
Speaker 3: But huh, that's not I don't think.
Speaker 5: Oh is that some halt do not approach the high
technic crats weren't really sorry, Yeah, never mind, we were
just leaving. Let's go.
Speaker 1: Hold h fuck what.
Speaker 5: I'll turn around slowly. You are the heroes. M hmm.
Speaker 3: Everyone keeps telling us that, Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yes, we have been.
Speaker 1: Discussing your arrival.
Speaker 3: Do be clear this is the technocrat talking or is
it one of the surrounding This.
Speaker 1: Is the high Technocrat. All of you would recognize the
high Technocrat. Well, I'll leave that.
Speaker 5: Up to you.
Speaker 1: I think I would as much as I've been in it,
don't know how much you remember.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Wow, let's a pleasure that you noticed us, Hi Technocrat.
And I'm saying that because I heard the guard say
it forgive our interruption. We meant no I will, nor
do we mean to disturb you during these wonderful times
of peace, now right, everyone, Indeed.
Speaker 3: We were simply just looking for food. Realistically, we're very hungry.
Speaker 4: Is there a buffet?
Speaker 1: I look forward to working with you in the future. Heroes.
Oh so sois may need you in the days to come.
Speaker 3: Oh I'm from Ellandrad No.
Speaker 1: High technocrat foreign Hylos begins to approach you, you specifically
Iris Elendrath.
Speaker 7: You's say, uh, it's unfortunate.
Speaker 3: Oh why is that?
Speaker 1: Well, the queen doesn't exactly get along with me.
Speaker 3: It is the queen here, of course she is.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't miss the chance to put me in my place.
Speaker 3: I see, well, thank you for taking the opportunity to
speak with us. At any rate, we're going to go
find food.
Speaker 4: I think food's nice.
Speaker 5: Before you leave. M hm h.
Speaker 1: What are your names?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Mm hmm. I stand up straight as I can. My
poems are so fucking sweaty. I am I wristlet thing
anciently there is bloodline.
Speaker 5: M I don't have such title. I'm just ending.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I am bout spot water of the bottle of

Speaker 5: You'd be surprised. Well, I guess I'm enders of brahm
all I remember. Ah, yes, oh, the enchanted ancient forests
that ring the bell just now. Yeah, hm hmm.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad to have met you on this auspicious day. Well,
auspicious for most. I suppose Cyntharis is going to have
quite a difficult time after the day should make you happy.
Speaker 3: Why is that?
Speaker 5: He leans in close? Is he hot? Have you ever
seen him?
Speaker 1: Just to just to clarify, hold on, let's see.
Speaker 3: It all right.
Speaker 5: I used to read lots of elf smart Okay.
Speaker 1: Alright, I'll let you be the judge. Let's uh bring
you over here.
Speaker 5: There's not a non hot person here beside the skeletons.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm a slime, kind of just a round,
amorphous thing.
Speaker 5: You means you can shape yourself into there you go.
Speaker 4: Oh, I mean if you're into that.
Speaker 1: He looks just like that.
Speaker 5: H m hm.
Speaker 1: He leans in and he says, emberstone production and mining
has been halted throughout all of regalia.
Speaker 5: Mhmm anderstone. Interesting, Yes, I looked around. Iris, What my
eyes are saying? Do not say ship.
Speaker 3: H.
Speaker 5: That's a shame, I guess. But the war's over.
Speaker 3: M What do you what do you use the crystal for?
Speaker 5: Here you go eye contact.
Speaker 1: You have a lot of questions.
Speaker 5: Oh look there's the queen. Amazing. Wow, she is such
a queen. I don't know if I see the queen
or not. I'm just trying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you want to cause the distraction. I think this
is insight.
Speaker 5: Too much. Is this a roll checker group?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 5: Group, this is just you know, man, please please love these. Okay,
I'm going to re roll that with five. Okay, what
are you using the distraction? Yes?
Speaker 1: What trait are you?
Speaker 5: Never mind? I only the only tray to have is
respectable respectable.
Speaker 6: Never mind.
Speaker 5: It's a seven.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think, uh yeah, I think he sort
of is not listening to you. He's focused, very intent
leon Iris. You see like the slits on the goggles, Iris,
they're like turning and you can hear like it almost
sounds like a camera focusing sort of turning as he
gets close to you, and he says, I'm bestone. You
are from a different world, aren't you.
Speaker 3: I'm not.
Speaker 7: And besides what binds technology and magic together. It is
one of the most important resources that Regalia has, and
it's mining and production has been halted. Now we must
decide by committee. Each of our prospective nations has sent
forth a representative in Any countries that continue to mine
emberstone without Emberstone mining in oversight approval will be subject
to harsh penalties.
Speaker 3: Oh, the Technocrat, technology, That makes sense.
Speaker 5: I think your hunger is getting worse, isn't it.
Speaker 4: You can't tell a lady that.
Speaker 5: We'll take a queue. Well, we must go.
Speaker 1: I don't want to keep you any more than I have.
Speaker 3: Yes, it was very nice to meet you, and I
do a very I'm not gonna do like a deep
bow because I'm kind of scared of this guy and
he's also Centorian. I'm so well, just do a very
subtle little bob that would be respectful.
Speaker 5: Mm hmm.
Speaker 4: Food.
Speaker 3: Have a lovely day, high Technocrat.
Speaker 1: M h please call me Voring.
Speaker 5: All right, I'll be going now, I'll pull her along
the boat. My goodness, I think I'm gonna puke for
someone that's so afraid of the other side. You sure
do give them all the information and all the tension
and you should not.
Speaker 3: I didn't give them all of it.
Speaker 5: I just you know, spans went well, there is enough anyway.
Speaker 3: And I could have spilled the beans about about about
people being in those crystals, Okay, I could have spilled
the beans, but I didn't, So I didn't.
Speaker 4: I almost stand about beans. Please, I'm so hungry.
Speaker 5: Okay, let's find food. And also i'd like to find
that queen as he's talking about she put him in
this place.
Speaker 7: She may no more.
Speaker 5: Come on, let's go.
Speaker 3: Oh, I think I'm gonna be second.
Speaker 5: And a little walk around.
Speaker 1: Sure, you're effectively just kind of looking for the Ellen
draft queen.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean not looking for you know. Well, we're
also going for food, but I am definitely keeping the
eye swivel.
Speaker 1: Sure. So there's no like buffet or anything that's just
like out and about.
Speaker 4: Victory day buffet. What kind of place is this? A kingdom?
Speaker 1: Yeah? You can see that people have like drinks and stuff,
like people are sort of toasting and there's drinks.
Speaker 4: Because they're like a wait or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think there probably is, Like once the
celebrations have kind of started, there's there's.
Speaker 4: Probably slide towards one going friend of the savior, friend
of the Savior, and then like a pseudopod comes and
takes one of the trays from them, and then it
just descends back into me, the entire trade, drinks and all,
and I roll back to these guys.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 4: You know, friend of this friend of the savior.
Speaker 3: Here's a nicelime seat, and I pat him on his
wobbly head.
Speaker 4: Gits sticky.
Speaker 5: Everyone. The whole point does not make too much of
a ruckus. You know.
Speaker 3: Oh, we haven't rock it rolling ruckus with us, So no, not.
Speaker 5: If he doesn't take stuff from people. Listen, you didn't
want to leave the room in the first place, and
now you're just causing all kinds of drama.
Speaker 3: Doesn't any get option? Okay, I'm trying my artist gat.
Speaker 5: Choice choice right, Okay, all right, let's find something to drink.
You've already had enough. I'm gonna start leaving slime everywhere.
Keep my eye out, get the read on all these officials.
Games and faces are important. I have a bad feeling
about everything. For some reason.
Speaker 3: I would like to keep my eyes peeled for anyone
dressed in a similarly rich fashion as the high technocrat,
but particularly if I see anyone dressed in the colors
of Ellen Draft.
Speaker 1: M hmm, yeah. Uh. There's a lot of like mixing
of people now, like everybody's sort of celebrating and there's
a lot of like merriment to be had. People are toasting.
There's people that are just freaking happy. Man Like they're
just happy. You can see people like crying and like
hugging each other and stuff. I mean, on the outside,
this is like this is like a beautiful occasion, you know,
this is like this is like a suit. Like everyone
seems to be happy. It's probably not too hard to
find somebody from Ellen Draft. I imagine that there's everyone's
wearing their sort of like formal attire or like military attire.
So countries are kind of like wearing their colors and
things like that for this place. So there's definitely a
few elves around wearing green, gold, white, browns colors of
Ellen Draft.
Speaker 3: I see, And are there any from from Brome? I
know that my companion unders is from there.
Speaker 1: Yes, certainly.
Speaker 3: They all look so weagal.
Speaker 5: I want to see this queen is. But she was
so intimidating with.
Speaker 3: A him of old people, right, it was very scary.
Speaker 5: Oh, look drinks and I'll grab one off of a
tray and passen. Iris, look at bow. What did you
get me one? If that, everything's all far, you don't
need anything else right now? Just wait a little bit.
How you know you're right? I'm not. But let's just.
Speaker 4: I'm famished.
Speaker 3: Do we see Moon anywhere?
Speaker 1: There's like a lot of commotion going on. You can
make me an insight check to see.
Speaker 3: A nine.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna say you can kind of guess where
Moon is. There's a lot of people that seem to
be like heading to the airship docks outside. It's stunningly
beautiful out like uh as the afternoon is just starting
to like roll through here.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: I mean they have designed this place to get like
maximum sunlight, and like it's reflecting off of all these
different surfaces in here. It's like the bloom effect has
been turned to maximum, you know in this place.
Speaker 5: I'm going to walk in that direction slowly, just taking
everything in.
Speaker 1: Okay, And just to be clear, are you you're are
you looking for people from Brom here? Iris?
Speaker 3: The things I am looking for in particular are those
who look like they are from Brom, those that look
like they are from Alan Draft and Moon. Pretty much
those are the three things.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, so uh let's start in order. Brom uh.
You can see that there is a woman probably in
her late fifties. She has her hair tied back in
a long braid behind her. She's wearing browns and kind
of like a combination of some like plate armor and
some like studded leather armor wearing. She she's wearing what
appears to be like a sword at her hip, and
she has what are clearly like a series of guards
with the delegation. She is sort of taking part in
the festivities. She's not like marching to the airship doc
or anything. She's it looks like she's having a drink,
but there are guards like all over like secret service level,
you know.
Speaker 3: Oh unders, look she looks like this.
Speaker 5: Oh oh ei there, oh oh wow.
Speaker 3: Are they not your colors?
Speaker 5: OZA definitely yes, those a definitely. She's sorry decorated.
Speaker 3: She's beautiful.
Speaker 1: She's not really smiling or anything, but you can see
she's like she's just like having drinks and she appears
to be like very on guard. You see, like a
fairly stern expression on her face, and she's kind of
like she looks angry keeping.
Speaker 5: I really I for some reason, I can't stop staring
at her eyes. It's just something intimidating and very like
orderly about it. And I am very very much taken in. Yes,
I see, I.
Speaker 4: I brawled my head around. Is Moon about in this room?
Speaker 1: Does not appear?
Speaker 5: So you should not bother them?
Speaker 3: You think so? You do not think it will be
happy to see your subject?
Speaker 5: Probably not. You do know how Bram operates. And if
I wasn't there when I was supposed to be, probably
would not be a good thing. Right now too, Oh well.
Speaker 3: What if we have Moon make any introductions in the
future right now?
Speaker 4: I mean, if Anders is supposed to be from there,
I'm not sure if like the Savior can really do
much right because it's like you're supposed to be there
fighting for them.
Speaker 5: But you weren't.
Speaker 4: More than like, so you're kind of maybe a traitor
or something, a peaceful coward spilling blood all over.
Speaker 3: But there's spelling today.
Speaker 5: There's a grave being Doug. Okay, thank you appreciate it.
Speaker 1: On the plus side, it doesn't seem like she's noticed you.
Speaker 5: Let's go, and then won't go, And then I look
back but later one.
Speaker 1: Day, maybe a few minutes later. Uh, there's a pretty
like uh I think you see like the crowd kind
of like part. It just sort of happens naturally, and
you all feel this sort of pleasant sort of warmth.
Like it's it's breezy and cold in this place, but
like there's just a little bit of a warmth that
begins to fill your your body. And as the crowd
just sort of like naturally parts, like there's nobody out front,
like separating people or whatever, you can see this beautiful woman,
an Elvin woman, begins to walk forward towards the airship docks,
past the pleasantries and such. She doesn't seem to take
notice of many people as she continues to walk.
Speaker 5: So, yeah, I was talking about brother Holy throw me
into the rift, take me out and beat me like
a dead fish. Who is that what?
Speaker 1: This woman has dark skin, dark hair. The hair is
beautifully manicured and sort of braided behind her. It falls
behind her like a waterfall. She wears deep green and
gold white beautiful ornamentation, and she has a regal bearing.
She seems to disregard everyone, except she turns her head
slightly and looks at the three of you.
Speaker 5: Wife, That's who I want to be.
Speaker 3: I smack his arm. My queen.
Speaker 5: She could be my queen too, I mean you could. Oh,
dear god, she's looking his way.
Speaker 1: Hi.
Speaker 4: I just wave a suit of pod.
Speaker 1: She leans just barely to her right, almost in perspective, imperceptibly,
and you see one of her attendants begin to walk
over towards you.
Speaker 5: She's going to me.
Speaker 1: Her Majesty wishes to speak with.
Speaker 5: You, all of us.
Speaker 3: I think, so.
Speaker 5: I stiffen up and I walk over.
Speaker 3: I will actually shuffle in behind them. I am quite nervous.
Speaker 5: Comebo, comebo, put on your bus.
Speaker 4: I'm alongside.
Speaker 5: Hi.
Speaker 4: My name is Bo. I must say that sub surfer
scattering on your ears is remarkable.
Speaker 1: You can see several of the elves sort of like
turn their nose up at bow once he sort of
slides into the frame.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Hello, And I'll do a brom greeting of putting one
foot forward and sweeping on arm across and throwing one
hand back and dipping down, but never leaving eye contact.
Speaker 1: She glances at each of you up and down.
Speaker 3: I bow very deeply.
Speaker 5: I'll go deeper with my bow. M Hi, how long
do we do this work.
Speaker 4: I just keep waving, Oh boo, how just get a flat?
I just kind of relaxed and spread a bit across
the floor. I don't like why it's a game.
Speaker 3: You wish to speak with us, your majesty.
Speaker 5: Hamstring cramps.
Speaker 1: Apologies. I could not speak with you privately, but you
understand today is a special day.
Speaker 5: Uh huhm, it sure is.
Speaker 1: Please relax yourself, you could hold it.
Speaker 4: I spread even more across the floor, she says, relax yourself.
Speaker 5: No, no, come on, solidify a little bit of something. Jeez.
Speaker 1: I a present to you, Queen Althania via lith Sovereign
of the silver Wood.
Speaker 5: Your majesty, it's a pleasure. I am in this Brahm.
Speaker 1: You are the heroes.
Speaker 5: You keep being called that.
Speaker 4: Yes, I reco a lesson to a cube. Is this
solid enough? I just go mm hmm okay, cool.
Speaker 8: I am.
Speaker 3: Of the Arris bloodline. It is an honor to make
your acquaintance, Queen Viria leth.
Speaker 5: Is it.
Speaker 3: Indeed?
Speaker 5: H absolutely? I question that? Why do you question? You're
the most radiant thing.
Speaker 3: I assume that there are issues with are popping up
and that you might have reservations, But I hope that
you will give us the opportunity to explain or show
you the truth of what has happened to us and
why we were not present.
Speaker 1: I have my measure of you, oh, level six interesting.
As she looks at all of you, it's like she
sees everything. As she looks at you. You have this
feeling that like I don't know, like maybe Hannick, almost
like it's just somebody as just somebody understands you and
all of the good, all of the bad.
Speaker 5: Oh, all of the bad, should say what fuck? I
could assure you allege that we are hearing good faith
as much as we can be. And I am losing
my words.
Speaker 1: Do you want to lose them? You will need them.
Speaker 5: Private? You say sorry, I didn't hear you much. After that, Oh,
be respectful, respectful? Got it? My trait will kick in
and I will then adjust myself and say I apologize.
I was just lost in your glory. Majesty. There is
a different error about you than anyone else, and I
feel more compelled and comfortable around you, and we are
willing to work with you to help you expand any
kind of doubt that you have about us. We have
come here with our good friend moond to make sure
that she's safe. Everything is going on, so we can
understand and become more helpful. You see that we've been
missing quite a while, and we apologize. We had no
control over that, but that will come in due time
of understanding. And then I kind of shake my head.
Speaker 4: Fut, I'm here for the buffet.
Speaker 1: We shall see for now, enjoy the festivities.
Speaker 4: You as well.
Speaker 1: Is a banner day, and there are many here that
enjoy this spectacle. I am not one of them. I
will be taking my.
Speaker 3: Leave before you go. The a high technocrat, it seems
to have.
Speaker 1: Immediately you see her face change like like there's she's
very schooled, all of her features, like she is a professional,
like she knows what she's doing. But at the mention
of the high technocrat, like like she just bit into
a lemon.
Speaker 5: Here we go.
Speaker 3: He seems to have taken some sort of an interest
in us, seeing that he looks forward to working with
us us you does he know? Indeed, I figured it
would be it would be good to let you know,
so that you know that we are not hiding anything
from you.
Speaker 1: We shall see if you will excuse me, must take
my leave.
Speaker 5: It's pleasure meeting you perfect, Why did you flirt with
the queen?
Speaker 1: The guards run, the guards turn, and.
Speaker 5: Why did you just what just happened? Because I am
going to be truthful to my queen, truthful. I don't
even know what the hell he wants you.
Speaker 3: You know, you don't exactly if I can go ahead
and try to produce some sort of trust with my
queen in order to make sure that there is someone
in our corner that would be good, would not.
Speaker 5: She totally sounded like she was in a corner when
she walked off. Just now, I felt like the moon changed.
Speaker 3: Yes, now she has information, and that is power. I
have given her some sort of power.
Speaker 5: I've this hant gone to anship.
Speaker 4: I think you two are forgetting the big elephant in
the room here.
Speaker 5: What is that?
Speaker 3: Mo?
Speaker 4: There's no buffet?
Speaker 5: You're right? I am hungry.
Speaker 4: So much about a queen.
Speaker 5: I mean, have you seen that anyway? I would like
to find some foods. I could stuff the food in
I was his mouth. So she stopped talking so much
about things. You're lucky, you're cute, Iris, otherwise I'd sell
you out.
Speaker 3: I am very well versed in speaking with others.
Speaker 5: A little too much. I did treat a respect.
Speaker 3: No, you were not treating me with respect. Enders. You
are my friends, but you are not acting like it
right now.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: I storm off to try to find Moon, more.
Speaker 5: So, worried about your safety. How does it always going
like this?
Speaker 3: Like what?
Speaker 5: Sometimes I wish I was a slime?
Speaker 4: Awkward and I slide away from him?
Speaker 5: What is everything I say today wrong?
Speaker 1: I'm going to follow the queen very well, Iris, Yes,
I would like you to please make an insight an
insight role.
Speaker 3: Thirteen.
Speaker 1: Okay, it doesn't take you too long to find Moon.
You begin to head up towards the airship docks, and
you can see that beautiful celebration that is happening in
the sky, effectively Regalia's version of fireworks, Canon's firing smoke
trailing behind airships, and a familiar face making her way
through the crowd.
Speaker 3: Oh, I will try to eline towards her Moon.
Speaker 10: Thank you, Thank you, Iris, I rush over to you.
Speaker 8: Is it high?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 6: Everything is great, And you can kind of see on
my face that everything is not great. I'm clearly frazzled
and still confused, but celebrating because I've been celebrating for
like half an hour now, just with people randomly coming
up and saying thank you for things that I have
no idea about.
Speaker 3: Would you like to escape?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 6: Absolutely, thank thank you, thank you.
Speaker 10: Yes, let's let's go get some food.
Speaker 5: Maybe.
Speaker 3: Do you know where the food is? We've been searching
for it.
Speaker 6: Oh, yes, of course it should be. They should have
it in the dining hall if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 8: Thank thank you.
Speaker 6: And you can see my cape kind of like, oh sorry, sorry,
people are tripping on it, and I speed up a
little bit and I grab you by the waist and
I sort of just start pushing through people a little
quicker than normal.
Speaker 10: And okay, thank you, thank you, thank you, excuse us,
thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3: Do we run into Bow on the way if I
recall he was following, I.
Speaker 1: Think we do? See Bow Bow has several items floating
inside of him.
Speaker 3: Oh oh ah, yes he has them indulging.
Speaker 10: Okay, all right, bo are you taken care of There's.
Speaker 1: Like a stool in there.
Speaker 10: I wow, the stool, it's no what trying stool? Mm hmm,
that's a fiber.
Speaker 4: I'm sure, I'll say.
Speaker 8: Wow, I had no idea you could do that.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: It's incredible, isn't it oh, learning new things all the time.
Would you like some food, food, things that might be
more palatable than a stool to you, I'm not certain.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if I have a palette.
Speaker 8: Okay, well you can just look cool if you want.
Speaker 10: To digest something else.
Speaker 4: You think so mm hmm, like actual food.
Speaker 10: Yeah, all right, lead the way, all right, great?
Speaker 3: Did you see where unders went?
Speaker 4: He said something to me, I sit away, and he
followed that green.
Speaker 3: Lady, I'm going to kill him.
Speaker 10: Oh no, why oh oh? Was that him over there?
Speaker 5: I think that's part of the god.
Speaker 3: Ye, you would feel the blazing burning of a thousand
suns on the back of your skull.
Speaker 5: So what are you thinking about me? What's the hen?
I turn around.
Speaker 3: It's like that anime moment where their skin coming out
of my ears and my eyes are like a street like.
Speaker 5: Right, okay, and I'll turn around and slowly come over.
I see you found moon so quickly. I was totally
just looking for the food. My queen Talgy's a bit much.
I believe that I was insuring her safety to make
sure she made it back to the airship. She was
talking about one with all the decorated colors and golden,
green and white and silver and over there with the
elaborated high scales.
Speaker 10: And we were headed to the dining hall. Do you
want to come with us?
Speaker 5: Is it out there?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 4: I think he's more thirsty than hungry.
Speaker 5: Sweating a bit, you know what, Yes, let's go eat?
Speaker 10: Okay, great?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 5: And I looked for he was irish. It didn't I
didn't do anything. I was respectable.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 5: Also, i'm you're flirting.
Speaker 3: With her, and she is a very important woman who
very obviously does not flood calling her beautiful and.
Speaker 8: Oh glorious to see you.
Speaker 5: You're just I was just so taken back by your
I mean, I wouldn't try that flirting queen, any.
Speaker 3: Other queen, any other representative. I don't care. Please let
hell and drop please. All of the others are fair game.
All of them are fair king.
Speaker 5: Is she with someone?
Speaker 3: Leave her alone?
Speaker 5: Fine? Fine, listen, listen. It wasn't me so much flirting.
You haven't seen flirting yet. It was more so for
me making right what may have been wrong, taken and
interpreted and all that stuff. Right. Yes, And I'm sorry, Iris.
What I said earlier wasn't does it meaning nottre feelings?
It was concerned.
Speaker 4: Okay, Besides, I think you know, regiciary might be punishable
by death. You know, is woming a queen can't do that?
What regicary?
Speaker 3: You know? What is that?
Speaker 5: Queen Rotisseri didn't think queen Oh oh, okay, let me
see interface.
Speaker 10: What are we talking about? Have you betting with the
Queen of ellen Rath?
Speaker 4: Yes? He did?
Speaker 3: Oh and I almost died.
Speaker 5: Oh well it went well.
Speaker 10: No it didn't, it didn't.
Speaker 5: No, but why did you die? He did? No, I'm alive.
I'm still here.
Speaker 6: She's probably she deals with people all the time. I'm
certain that she's probably going to be okay, but I
I know she is an elf, so I don't know
anything actually.
Speaker 4: That could be an elf until God's eunuchs what.
Speaker 5: I don't know what that means.
Speaker 8: What does that matter?
Speaker 5: You know? Okay, we're all hungry.
Speaker 10: We're all hungry. Let's let's here this way and I
point in the direction of the doc.
Speaker 6: You can see that there's some waves kind of crashing
up and people are there's.
Speaker 10: A hubbub everywhere.
Speaker 6: But you can smell food. You can smell that food
is like there's if it were visual, you would see
like food.
Speaker 5: Like wind.
Speaker 10: The colors of the wind would be like the color
of steak or something like ooh hmm, and my own
stomach grumbles.
Speaker 4: The steak.
Speaker 5: I will lock all the information on the queen in
my and on the gentleman from smooth brus in my interface.
Speaker 8: Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4: Uns to find a table and roll over the roll
over like a Katamari, all of all the food until
I get to the end.
Speaker 5: I'm stopped.
Speaker 3: So stop, I don't We were never told to we
could leave. So do you think we're okay?
Speaker 5: I think it's fine now that all the officials have
seen us.
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, I mean we're heroes.
Speaker 5: You're a hero.
Speaker 10: We're heroes.
Speaker 5: We're level six, as everyone has reminded us.
Speaker 10: There you know what there's it's just numbers.
Speaker 4: It's no difference, something I say as I roll over
the table over the food and the cutler whoa.
Speaker 6: And I reached for a biscuit that he just rolled
over and it's got like on it and I take
a bite.
Speaker 4: Glazed oh that the rest of it's still connected to me,
and it just like elasticates snaps into me.
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna go.
Speaker 1: Took like a bite of petroleum jelly.
Speaker 5: Ah. Yeah, I just want to available never again.
Speaker 6: Oh okay, Well I'm going to start with the meat
and I grab a huge hunk of turkey.
Speaker 5: Oh that's a good idea, like.
Speaker 4: Just super I think it.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's actually is it like some other
foul that you know?
Speaker 6: It probably it probably looks like a turkey leg, you know,
where it's just some kind of.
Speaker 8: Like meat.
Speaker 10: There's like a bone stick it out of it. You
could definitely sell.
Speaker 6: Like this this belonged to a creature of some sort
and I'm just gnawing into it all right, begain.
Speaker 5: I guess.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's some I think like, uh, the the cogans
sort of like aesthetic is like really important. So like
the food all looks like it comes from here, you know,
like it has this like you know, like gold filigree
on some stuff. Like they've got gold leaf added to
like all of the all of the desserts and silver
and all that.
Speaker 10: Yeah, scrape it off.
Speaker 5: You're supposed to eat that.
Speaker 3: You're supposed to eat it in edible art.
Speaker 10: It's part of the decoration. And it's also bad manners.
Speaker 5: Bo Yeah.
Speaker 1: Everything Bow is looking very full, by the way, like
he's so many things are just floating inside of bow
right now?
Speaker 3: Does he look like you're about to pop?
Speaker 8: It is so good the bus. I see he's enjoying himself.
Speaker 10: This is what we should be doing.
Speaker 5: Yes, Oh, I want to Does everyone looked all happy
and stuff? Sides? Oh? Maybe two people? The leader of brahmm.
I didn't even want to approach her. She seemed very
stern upset. You can only feel that I should have
been there for them. I lean information.
Speaker 11: I don't know what's going on, but there are some
people who are really happy about this, and some people
who know something is wrong.
Speaker 6: Then I'm one of those people. Okay, but this feels strange.
I just want you to keep an eye out.
Speaker 5: It makes me feel a bit better because I felt
I felt worried about this old thing, and I didn't
want to ruin the moment.
Speaker 10: That's general.
Speaker 6: Elisia Wormcrest, by the way, and she's a strategist. In fact,
I think she might be one of the senior strategists,
if not the senior strategists.
Speaker 5: I definitely want to meet her one day when the
time's right.
Speaker 6: A lot to say, but not really with words. Oh boy,
ry it makes me feel not sorry. I know that
she's well, she's intimidating.
Speaker 1: What can I say?
Speaker 8: Oh, look they have pumpkin pie.
Speaker 5: Oh no, Bo, this is mine.
Speaker 6: Oh you touched everything else. You can see sort of
like a scuffle start between Bow and Bo.
Speaker 1: Please make a strength and willpower check.
Speaker 5: Shut up? Strength and no power?
Speaker 4: Yea, Mike, no power, I answered seven.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's little like noises that are escaping, you know,
like you know when you when you are making oatmeal
and it starts to bubble and except it's like all
the oatmeal is sort of congealed a little bit and
it makes that like that sort of farting noise. Yeah,
every time Bow moves, now that noise is coming out.
Speaker 8: Sure you don't need any more pie.
Speaker 6: I don't think you need anything else except I don't know,
maybe someone throws you into a bathtub or something.
Speaker 3: You just don't look right.
Speaker 10: Bo I started seeing the pies. I look concerned at him.
Speaker 4: I want to suit apod on her and grab it
and try and grab the pie from her hands.
Speaker 5: I'm just sitting back and enjoying seeing my companions together.
Speaker 10: Finally, do I lose this pie?
Speaker 5: Don't?
Speaker 1: I think that's entirely up to you.
Speaker 5: Man, no way.
Speaker 10: He does not succeed in grabbing this pie. This is
all mine.
Speaker 5: You don't find your own.
Speaker 10: You took everything else.
Speaker 1: I roll really slowly in a genital or action, leaving
a trail now.
Speaker 10: And I just walk away.
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm just sticking this all. I feel like a
storm is brilloined. And at least when I enjoy the
weather while.
Speaker 3: It's still good, hm, hm, the weather is quite nice.
Speaker 5: Why me, why were you so upset?
Speaker 3: Well, because you seem to not put faith in me
to be able to handle that situation.
Speaker 5: In you, you are are here. I put faith in
you day one when I anyway, it's not that, it's
just that those are power people, and if we give
up everything, we have nothing to bid against them later
on in our favor. Being honest, it's a good thing,
believe me. But at the same time, we have to
hold on to what we have close to the chests,
as if they do. You understand that they're information, they're
keeping close to the chests, and they're using whatever they
know to get out of us. They're just as curious
as us. We have power plays as well. But at
the same time I understand that you're trying to be respectful.
But there's a time and place, but.
Speaker 3: Not only that, if you are to get someone to
like you, or to get someone to place their trust
in you, right giving them some sort of thing to
latch onto you, to remember, she will remember that while
we were loud and bombastic and slightly disrespect full.
Speaker 5: Mm, and that was respectful, that that one girl of.
Speaker 3: Ellen Droth gave her some sort of information, yes, that she.
Speaker 5: Did not have to right, She's totally gonna remember us
right after you told about Centharius.
Speaker 3: Yes, I you know, she may have been dissatisfied that
I mentioned him, but it is power, that is power
that I gave her that now she knows that he
is interested in us.
Speaker 5: And I am in her. So even yes, pleasant Tree
should go on.
Speaker 3: I do thank you for your still think you do
not have faith in what I am saying, and I
think that, but you are not displaying it. You are
making light of the situation, and you were, you were
making it so that that my my suggestion of this
is belittled. And you are making jokes about flirting with
the queen when I have expressed that that is what
really did not put us on a good.
Speaker 8: Start with her.
Speaker 5: You can think what you want. I know about ads,
but I am just being who I think I am.
I'm not belittling anything you're saying.
Speaker 3: Well, then you are not listening to what I am
seeing or trying to understand what I am saying.
Speaker 5: Okay, you see that I am disrespectful, loud, and belittling you.
I'm telling you that I'm not that. I was only
looking out for your safety.
Speaker 3: And I walk off to go get more cake.
Speaker 5: I open up my interface and check my trades. I
don't know what. Okay, bounty hunter, dashing, respectful, sharpshooter from
the ancient forest. Seems like I hit all of those traits.
I have no idea what's going on. I'll never understand
Elvin elven women. I'll lean over and start eating more.
Speaker 1: Sure, festivities go on for a few hours, night begins
to approach. You can see that many of the delegates
have left. At this point, the celebrations have started to
like die down a little bit as the crowds of
people begin to thin.
Speaker 5: Oh boy, I'm going to scurry in try to find Moon,
because not at the crowds, you're probably gonna stand out. Hi,
you got a breath?
Speaker 6: By gosh, I still have him rolling around after me
for this pie which I've already finished.
Speaker 10: That I placed it on the table because you don't
need anything else.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Oh you've been putting over with this whole thing
for ten years.
Speaker 6: Wow, that's a long story. How about you can tell
him exhausted. How about we go find.
Speaker 10: Somewhere to just wind down and maybe discuss a little
bit more.
Speaker 5: It's a good somehow I managed to upset irons in
some You probably need to find.
Speaker 10: That iris too.
Speaker 4: I need to pay.
Speaker 10: There are somethings she needs to hear, and there are
some things Bow needs to do, like hydrate. Hello, have
you even been drinking any sort of liquids?
Speaker 8: Oh no, you've just been eating.
Speaker 10: Oh my gosh, no, wonder you're only you're just good.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. Okay, huh.
Speaker 5: You know, like.
Speaker 1: You know, you know, if you have like a robot
vacuum once all the container is just kind of like
full and it's still rolling around, just leaves like crumbs
and stuff behind slamming into the wall, both sleeping like
little particles behind.
Speaker 5: Oh after yourself, yea, hungy.
Speaker 6: Bo, you're you need to we need to collect bo.
He's leaving too much of himself around the room.
Speaker 5: Huh CRUs, She don't go off that way. Apparently, I'm
you know, I don't know, but littling and all that disrespectful,
too flirty. I don't know what to saying.
Speaker 6: Ah, can I just I grab a potato and start
eating it and let's let's head out this.
Speaker 3: I guess maybe that's if she yes, I simply walked
outside with some cake and I am munching it there.
Speaker 5: I'll wait for you'll signal, I'll I'll be outbying eyes V.
Speaker 1: I think you see so, I think you see Iris
approached by one of the one of the Cogan SkyWatch.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: They approach and see you sitting there. And this man
is very tall, uh Celestian. He has sort of golden
brown skin, gold hair, it's sort of like silver on
the sides. It's pretty short, but like there's hints of
some silver there, probably like maybe in their thirties, something
like that. And he approaches you and says.
Speaker 5: You are a hero.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, apparently, excuse me.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to bother you.
Speaker 3: No, it is no bother.
Speaker 1: I am kareem.
Speaker 3: Ah it is it is the fellow from before that
we met the major Jomo. You are Kareem.
Speaker 1: The person that you met before was the mere?
Speaker 8: Oh the mere?
Speaker 5: Thank you?
Speaker 1: Yeah he uh he sort of says, and I'm sorry,
what was your name?
Speaker 3: I'm I'm Iris or Iris Slith if that is more appropriate.
Speaker 1: There are many who think that your appearance here is strange.
But for tonight, would you care for a dance?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 10: Do we see this as the group? Are we watching
this happen?
Speaker 1: I imagine you're probably twenty thirty feet away?
Speaker 8: Say yeah, hot?
Speaker 3: Is he hot?
Speaker 1: I imagine probably.
Speaker 10: He's celestial girl, He's hot.
Speaker 3: That is very kind of you to ask, sir.
Speaker 10: Certainly excuse my background.

is a happy occasion. I would be most appreciative if
you would dance with me.

Speaker 5: Mm hmm shpo.
Speaker 1: So uh. Riem sort of extends a hand. Would you
like to call.
Speaker 3: It's certainly yes.
Speaker 1: And yes. He sort of takes your hand and just
gently sort of guides you over to the dance floor. There's, uh,
I think there's quite a few people that are sort
of dancing. It's it's a very like happy occasion. It's
it's a little bit drowned out because like everybody celebrating everywhere.
But yeah, he sort of takes you to the dance
floor and says, are you familiar with the Cogan wolves, Oh,
admittedly no, perhaps I can lead then, hm. He begins
to sort of gently take your hand.
Speaker 5: He sort of.
Speaker 1: Just very gently sort of like pushes you away. Let's
start from here, and he begins to sort of spin slowly.
You look around and you can see the rest of
the people about you dancing in a similar fashion. There's
a lot of sort of spins to this kind of
a waltz that they have. But he says, count with
me one two three four one that's down three four
two three four, And as he spins with you, you
are sort of twirling in this uh like a small circle,
and then it starts to get larger as you grow
distant apart.
Speaker 12: He says, now close and he pulls you in close,
and you're like, you know, down by like his yeah
yeah yeah, and he sort of begins to.
Speaker 1: Sort of spin and he says.
Speaker 5: Apologies if this is embarrassing.
Speaker 1: Hum and he begins he begins to say, and I
have a lift and he begins to pick you up,
and you can see there's others around you, other sort
of like couples have sort of been someone has been
lifted into the air and it's sort of like this
synchronized spin that happens and your arms and he motions
towards your arms, and you see everybody else sort of
hold up their arms simultaneously.
Speaker 3: I have to be like Superman understudy.
Speaker 5: And back down.
Speaker 1: You have a wonderful dance as you spin and twirl
and everyone else continues. As the music starts to slow
and come to the end, everyone claps briefly as Kareem
inclines his head and says, thank you, Iris were a
lovely dance.
Speaker 3: Thank you for teaching me.
Speaker 5: Kareem.
Speaker 1: I hope to see you again.

we could follow him just to see what he's up to.
Speaker 5: I don't stalk him. No no, no no no.
Speaker 3: He has me to dance. I can't be the stalker.
I can't. Hmmm, we have things to do. For example,
nobody but leaves us.

her face. Right now, it's like just looking at you like,

well I'm glad you're okay. Greg.
Speaker 6: We could stay here at the Guild of All tonight.
They have space, they have more than enough space. And
I gesture and you can see everything's not quite illuminated
by suns so much anymore because it's getting later in
the day, but like that Golden Hour esque like twilight,
gloaming hue is still slowly illuminating everything.
Speaker 10: But yeah, I'm really tired, so we could just stay here.
Speaker 3: I look to enders and bow before looking at moon.
But they are not too keen on having us, are
they not?
Speaker 10: They will be.
Speaker 3: I made a proposal.
Speaker 4: Like sneeze and like a kind of scatters shot a
whole bunch of slime all around me and I back
to my normal's side.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, are we gonna have to clean that?
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 6: I oh, sorry, let's get him out of here before
he eats everything else again, because I don't think there's
any I don't even know if there's any more food left. Bow.
Speaker 10: Oh well, sorry, I'm glad you're normal again, though it
seemed a lot easier than I thought it would be.
Speaker 4: Yeah, hmm, what what do you mean by normal?
Speaker 8: Back to you know, regular boat?
Speaker 6: Oh okay, yeah, gosh, yeah, we should stay here. I
think they're my be places underneath. Come and I look

just looking for.

for the night, And sort of like glances over to
the rest. The storeroom has been made.
Speaker 5: Up for the others.

full here at the.
Speaker 6: Guilded of course, of course, because of the celebration. I'm certain, right, okay, great,

Speaker 3: The major film will have any sort of update on.
Speaker 1: That ritual we proposed, you're asking guard, Yes, the major DOMO.

Did this involve you?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yes, as far as I know, plans were for tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Perfect.
Speaker 6: Eh, thank you for having this information. I feel like
we're we ate a little bit too much and maybe
drank a bit too much as well, not knowing knowingly.
I fully did not drink a single thing. But I'm
very tired, So thank you, thank you, And I sort
of walked down the hall and I just thousand yards
stare for a second.

it could be a cell.

story a little bit?

day for you. I will, I'm i will be in
the room storeroom.
Speaker 10: Do you know where it is? It's it's just down
those stairs and then you should be able to see it.
I think I'm down there. Well, I think my room
might be a little bit further.
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure you have a very lavish if it's
anything like the bathroom. Be sure yours is spectacular.
Speaker 10: It's a place to place to be.
Speaker 4: The more I hate the hungry I got. I think
I didn't feel full. It just kind of felt like
I needed to eat more as weird.
Speaker 10: At least you didn't pop, true, I mean, oh that's
a good thing.
Speaker 4: You're Oh I hope not. God, I can pop once right,

I was here for one thing and then it ended
up being the end of the war, which is.
Speaker 10: You've been don ten years.
Speaker 5: Uh huh.
Speaker 10: So I just feel I feel like you guys just
got here. I HiT's a big deal.

you look. But thing you know about the war ending,

boat to hear, didn't we.

Speaker 5: Okay, okay, good night tomorrow.
Speaker 10: See you see you tomorrow. And I kind of like
my head just kind of drops and I shuffle along,
not looking very heroic at all.
Speaker 5: I'll walk back to the storeroom ahead of everyone, grab
blankets and pillow whatever I have, and I'll say I'm
going to slip out waiting, enjoy the room. I'll just
be on air, doc near it. Okay, take it in
the scenery the night, good night, good night, way night. Yeah.
Speaker 10: And I come rushing back down and I give enders
a big hug.
Speaker 5: It's good to have you back. Moon.
Speaker 10: You have no idea, my.
Speaker 5: First friend, I'll always be here for you.
Speaker 6: And then I hugged Iris and I grab Bow as
much as I can, and I when I go in
for a group hug and I say, oh my gosh,

to actually have friends here. Okay, okay, now I'm really
going to bed.
Speaker 10: All right, come on, Greg, let's go to bed.
Speaker 4: Do you reckon those two are that's the mind? Okay,
so beds, that's an interesting concept.
Speaker 3: Well, you expelled a lot of stuff, so you should
be fine.
Speaker 4: Right, I mean yes, But look around the room for
a minute. And is there like a vase in the
room somewhere?
Speaker 1: Probably not a vase, I imagine that there's maybe like amphras.
Speaker 4: I don't know what that is, but I'm gonna try
and cram myself into it.
Speaker 1: It's what they keep whineing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, not anymore, but there's a bow in there.

you in. Thank you. You see an incredibly huge, massive room,
beautiful marble and gold and silver. There's fresh fruit out
on a table for you. The wind blows in from
the cold night, and.
Speaker 10: I go over to the window. I look out, and
I look at the bowl of fresh fruit to.
Speaker 6: My left, and I grab a handful of it, and
I look at it for a second, and I hold
my hand out the window and I squeeze it, squeeze
all the juice out of it. I just drop it
out the window. And I look out, and I can
smell fire in the air, but it's that kind of
wood fire that people are burning when they're celebrating.
Speaker 10: It's not smoke.
Speaker 6: It's almost like a cherry or hickory or something. There's
leaves in the breeze also, and I'm bitter, but I
realize I'm only bitter because I'm seeing people again for
one of the first times in a long time, and
things are changing very quickly, and I don't feel right,
but everyone else seems to. And I put my head
in my hands and I kind.
Speaker 10: Of I look up at the sky.
Speaker 6: It's the same same twinkle, same star, same constellations. I
wonder if I can remember any constellations. And my eyes
get heavy.
Speaker 5: I just.
Speaker 6: Sort of slide into my own hand at the windowsill, while.
Speaker 10: The breeze gently brings me the sense of the evening.
Huh okay, Greg, Greg, Ye, Sorry, I'm okay. Oh what
